00:02:29I'm Miz, and I'm bringing Old Spice Total Body to the WWE Performance Center.
00:02:33Old Spice Total Body slams funk into oblivion.
00:02:37I could smell my own fear again.
00:02:40Scent of coconuts and palm trees puts odor in a submission hold.
00:02:44It is so gentle to skin.
00:02:46So when you're sticking up the joint, turn to Old Spice Total Body and become the 24-7 precious champ.
00:02:55You walked into my life just like a dream.
00:03:04You walked into my life just like a dream.
00:03:16It's been a great night so far in Indianapolis where Wrestle Palooza is presented by Prime Hydration.
00:03:39No caffeine, zero added sugar and packed with electrolytes, antioxidants, and B vitamins.
00:03:44The official hydration drink of WWE, now available at Walmart.
00:03:49Well, you know, if you can't be here in Indianapolis, the second best place to be would be at Cosm,
00:03:57the interactive experience to watch WWE premium live events.
00:04:02So in Dallas, they watched Brock Lesnar destroy John Cena, and in the brand new facility in Los Angeles,
00:04:08they watched The Vision dismantle The Usos.
00:04:13Again, Cosm, it's an interactive experience to enjoy all WWE premium live events.
00:04:22And there's Cody Rhodes, he's on his bus preparing for his championship match tonight
00:04:33where he will defend the title against Drew McIntyre, hanging out with Tyrese Halliburton earlier today.
00:04:39Papa John's delivers quality pizza with championship ingredients, better ingredients, better pizza, Papa John's.
00:04:46Well, it has been quite the night tonight, Wade.
00:04:51Again, I want to send my heartfelt thank you out to Pat McAfee joining us for a few matches tonight.
00:04:55So great to have Pat back.
00:04:57But Pat, not the only one from Indianapolis having fun here tonight.
00:05:01That's Patrick Talty and the Indiana Sports Corp president and the driving force behind bringing Wrestle Palooza
00:05:06and all major sporting events to Indy, including this year's record-setting Royal Rumble at Lucas Oil Stadium.
00:05:13Well, coming up next, the long-awaited return of A.J. Lee, her first match in a decade in WWE
00:05:21when she deemed her husband CM Punk against the self-proclaimed greatest couple in WWE history,
00:05:29Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch.
00:05:35Seth Rollins, this war between you and me will never be over.
00:05:42Now, he's hiding behind his wife.
00:05:48Becky Lynch!
00:05:51Seth Rollins' wife saved the championship for Rollins!
00:05:57Me and my husband got this business to where it is today.
00:06:02We run both divisions!
00:06:05What are you gonna do about it, huh?
00:06:09What are you gonna do?
00:06:09What are you gonna do, huh?
00:06:11You gonna do something about it?
00:06:12You know I would never put my hands on a lady.
00:06:17Thankfully, I got somebody who will.
00:06:19After a decade, A.J. Lee, CM Punk's wife, is here!
00:06:30It's one thing to see your husband fighting Seth Rollins, but it's another thing entirely to see him in the ring with Becky Lynch.
00:06:38She put her hands on him!
00:06:40She defamed him!
00:06:44Let me tell you something you may not know about your husband.
00:06:51He has a nasty habit of leaving when things let him down.
00:06:57When my wife rips you into shreds, you better hope to God that he doesn't leave you, too.
00:07:10You know, I never put my hands on a lady.
00:07:21Thankfully, I have someone who will.
00:07:31This is part of it.
00:07:32This is exactly the thing.
00:07:36This is your fault.
00:07:37This is your fault.
00:07:38Hey, hey, hey!
00:07:43There you go!
00:07:46This is twice!
00:07:47This is your fault!
00:07:49This is your fault!
00:07:51No!
00:07:53The Punk is going chasing Seth Rollins.
00:07:56Wait a minute!
00:07:57Wait a minute!
00:07:59Manhandle!
00:08:03You want a match?
00:08:04You got a match!
00:08:05And Russell Palooza!
00:08:10You're both done for!
00:08:18Burn it down!
00:08:20One he Jericho plus.
00:08:44I don't have a match!
00:08:45I don't have a match!
00:08:45It's your fault!
00:08:45Where's your murder!
00:08:45Is your not left?
00:08:46No!
00:08:46I don't have a match!
00:08:47I don't have a match!
00:08:47In my head!
00:08:48gy CEOs!
00:08:49Oh, they call themselves the power couple.
00:09:19Oh, they call themselves the power couple.
00:09:41is a mixed tag team match.
00:09:44And for one call, introducing class,
00:09:48the team of the World Heavyweight Champion,
00:09:53Seth Freakin' Rollins!
00:09:57And the Women's Intercontinental Champion,
00:10:02the man, Becky Lynch!
00:10:11It's not just Becky Lynch saying it.
00:10:19It's Bleacher Report, it's Sports Illustrated,
00:10:22calling her the greatest female wrestler in WWE history.
00:10:26The current Intercontinental Champion,
00:10:28her husband, of course, Seth Rollins,
00:10:29the current World Heavyweight Champion.
00:10:31And here's an interesting statistic.
00:10:33You see it there on the screen.
00:10:35They've teamed together three times in their career.
00:10:38They've never been beaten.
00:10:39Pull that org as well to a couple who are clearly
00:10:43at the top of their game, carrying gold.
00:10:45And I am just in awe of that entrance
00:10:49and the attire they are wearing.
00:10:51You've got to be pretty damn confident to pull that off,
00:10:54and confidence sums up these two.
00:10:57And this match is presented by Cricket.
00:11:00Join Cricket Nation to get reliable nationwide 5G.
00:11:03Smile here on Cricket.
00:11:09Seth and Becky Lynch believe it is they who have built this industry
00:11:13to never seen before heights,
00:11:17whereas their opponents,
00:11:18they claim abandon ship when they go and got tied.
00:11:21Let's go.
00:11:39Look in my eyes, I can't really see
00:11:56You're the person that I don't see
00:12:01I know you're a hinder, I know you're a change
00:12:06I can't really see you on the beach
00:12:12I'm not the person that I'm not the person that I don't see
00:12:17I'm not the person that I'm not the person that I'm not the person that I don't see
00:12:32and your final
00:12:34inclinations
00:12:36inclinations
00:12:38inclinations
00:13:02And they're a punic, the team of C.M. Punk and A.J. Lee!
00:13:17You know, Punk and A.J. have teamed together twice before.
00:13:20They're undefeated as well, so something has to give here tonight.
00:13:23But what a moment for A.J. Lee, returning to the ring for the first time in over a decade.
00:13:28Cervical issues, a lot of other things she was dealing with a decade ago.
00:13:33Talked to her earlier on today.
00:13:36I asked her why now, and she said it was time to begin a new journey.
00:13:41She said everything felt brand new around here, especially with ESPN getting involved.
00:13:46She felt like she needed a new chapter in her life.
00:13:48And what a chance to team with her husband, C.M. Punk, in this mixed tag team match at Wrestlepalooza.
00:13:55Yeah, she also saw another woman in Becky Lynch throw hands at her man and clearly was quite perturbed by that
00:14:03and decided to take matters into her own hands and do something about it.
00:14:07But regardless of what Becky Lynch may say, the truth is A.J. Lee is the woman who put the first cracks
00:14:15in the glass ceiling that was limiting women in this industry in the past.
00:14:21And that glass ceiling was subsequently smashed to pieces by the likes of Becky Lynch.
00:14:27A.J. making the Chuck Taylors cool.
00:14:31Triple H called this the most highly anticipated mixed tag team matchup
00:14:43since the debut of Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania a number of years ago.
00:14:48Again, mixed tag team rules in this match.
00:14:51Men battle men, women battle women.
00:14:55So, for instance, if Seth and Punk start this thing and they tag one of their partners
00:14:59and the other woman has to come into the matchup to compete.
00:15:03Oh, she's out of the crowd here.
00:15:04Clearly behind the duo of Punk and A.J. Lee.
00:15:11I just want to see how sharp A.J. Lee is for over 10 years out of the game.
00:15:17Well, A.J. Lee wanted to start this matchup.
00:15:20Apparently, Becky Lynch wanted nothing to do with her.
00:15:22Well, the whole world wanted A.J. Lee to start this matchup.
00:15:25Well, if Seth starts, that means that CM Punk must start the matchup for his team.
00:15:31And we all know the history between Punk and Rollins.
00:15:36CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
00:15:43You know, Wade, we talked a lot about this on the Countdown Show earlier today.
00:15:47The fact that Rollins seems to always have CM Punk's number.
00:15:51Yes, he does. He's going to diminish the Punk's career ever since Punk returned to WWE.
00:15:59Costing CM Punk time and again, Wade up.
00:16:02Uh-oh, Becky going to make the tag. That is going to force A.J. in,
00:16:05although Becky seems to think she's going to take on Punk.
00:16:09Well, this is really smart for Becky Lynch and Punk and Seth Rollins.
00:16:14You really want to fight the person who is potentially not sharp.
00:16:17That's the person who hasn't competed in 10 years.
00:16:19Now Punk gets to step out of the ring and send in A.J. Lee.
00:16:24And we're about to get some questions answered.
00:16:26Oh, Becky Lynch again trying to push Punk's buttons like she has for a few weeks now.
00:16:33Becky Lynch is a schemer. She's a plotter. She's a manipulator.
00:16:37And WWE fans want to see a GTS, but we're going to get A.J. Lee.
00:16:43Let's not forget, A.J. Lee was wiped out by one manhandle slam a week ago.
00:16:50First live round that A.J. Lee has absorbed in over 10 years,
00:16:54and it completely poleaxed A.J. Lee.
00:16:57It connects here. It's going to be a very short match and a cheap shot.
00:17:01Yeah, to C.M. Punk, and that's just going to draw the ire of A.J. Lee,
00:17:05who now chases Becky Lynch around the ring.
00:17:08Tag made by Becky and Seth Rollins is legal.
00:17:10This is absolutely brilliant by Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins.
00:17:13A.J. Lee admits herself. She is an erratic individual,
00:17:17and from the off, she's now been thrown off her game.
00:17:20Okay.
00:17:20Smooching!
00:17:21Get a room.
00:17:23And now C.M. Punk with a suicide dive,
00:17:26driving Seth Rollins over the announce table.
00:17:28And now Rollins,
00:17:32and he's bounced off our table as well to the floor.
00:17:35C.M. Punk has simply seen enough, had enough,
00:17:38and it's time to face some heavy consequences for the architect.
00:17:46And now Punk to Rollins.
00:17:50The referee yelling, get back in the ring,
00:17:53but giving a lot of leeway knowing the magnitude of this particular matchup.
00:17:56Nobody wants to see a count out right off the pack.
00:18:02It's a big wealth forming already on the rib
00:18:05of Seth Rollins.
00:18:08I'm going to watch out for him.
00:18:10Four, four, two, three, four.
00:18:14Now look at Seth Rollins burying his shoulder in the midsection of C.M. Punk.
00:18:18Just love to torture Punk.
00:18:19And now Becky Lynch, the official Jessica Carr,
00:18:22dealing with Rollins, and now a double team.
00:18:25A.J. Lee is absolutely losing it in the corner.
00:18:28She is being played like a puppet.
00:18:30Well, again, A.J. has been out of the game for ten years.
00:18:34Emotions are, of course, running high,
00:18:37none more so with the woman who is returning.
00:18:40The crowds have chanted her name every time
00:18:44there's been a show that she hasn't been at over the past ten years.
00:18:49Again, but ten years out of the ring,
00:18:50so hard to come back from that.
00:18:53Oh, look at that, A.J. Lee!
00:18:55A little bit of payback to Rollins!
00:18:57And now it is Becky Lynch losing the block.
00:19:00And C.M. Punk just mocking Lynch now.
00:19:06Rollins is kicked off.
00:19:09A.J. Lee having some fun.
00:19:11And now Punk!
00:19:13Inverted atomic drop to Rollins.
00:19:17Big shot!
00:19:20Such interesting dynamics in mixed tag team matchups.
00:19:23Just so unpredictable.
00:19:24So unusual in this game.
00:19:27And Punk now with the axe handle,
00:19:29right to the head of Seth Rollins.
00:19:32Again, a pointer to Becky with a big smile on his face.
00:19:37Punk now gonna head up to the top rope.
00:19:40C.M. Punk.
00:19:41Oh, and again, down goes Rollins.
00:19:50Punk has just looked razor sharp
00:19:53over the past six months or so.
00:19:55Shot off all that ring rust that was there when he first came back.
00:19:58C.M.
00:19:59Question to see if A.J. Lee can do the same.
00:20:02Oh, and Rollins!
00:20:02Yeah, Punk went to the, well, once too often.
00:20:04Rollins with a kick, sending out for a pedigree.
00:20:06Punk's got him in position for a go to sleep.
00:20:09Rollins fights out of it.
00:20:12Telegraph that one and paid for it.
00:20:13Oh, and a kick!
00:20:15Oh, and a kick!
00:20:15Oh, both men have been making his talking trash to the...
00:20:19From behind, Rollins.
00:20:21Female's on the corner, taking her eye off the ball.
00:20:24One, two, three, two, three, four!
00:20:25And Becky Lynch being diffident there,
00:20:27allowing Rollins to take control.
00:20:30Any advantage you can take at this level,
00:20:32you have to take it,
00:20:33and you don't need to ask Becky Lynch to the right score.
00:20:35Oh, and Becky driving Punk into the steps.
00:20:38I don't know if that was midsection or Fiza Punk that ate them.
00:20:43A.J. Lee was going after Becky and Seth Rollins stepping in
00:20:47in front of his wife to protect her.
00:20:50A.J. Lee has panicked in her eyes,
00:20:53in her husband, laid out and perhaps about to be pounced on
00:20:56by Seth Brick and Rollins.
00:20:59Oh, we mentioned it earlier.
00:21:00Rollins just has Punk's numbers.
00:21:02There's no doubt about that.
00:21:03Some bitter resentment between the two of them.
00:21:06And now Punk bounced right off her announce table,
00:21:08landing on our announce table now.
00:21:10And Rollins simply having his way now with Punk.
00:21:12It's been too easy for Seth Brick and Rollins
00:21:15ever since he got the upper hand.
00:21:18What a white.
00:21:19This guy is...
00:21:20Mr. 20-25 in this game.
00:21:25Everything has gone right for Seth Brick and Rollins.
00:21:27Yeah, the current world champion, the head of the Vision,
00:21:30sends Punk back into the ring.
00:21:33Rollins, of course, pulled off the ruse of the century,
00:21:35cashing in on CM Punk.
00:21:37Back at SummerSlam after Punk held the world championship
00:21:40just over five minutes.
00:21:43I'll tell you, the athletic skills of Seth Brick and Rollins
00:21:47are obvious, but over time we have learned
00:21:49just how smart and conniving that man is.
00:21:53And that really is his superpower.
00:21:54Just a full-body assault of CM Punk.
00:22:10Oh!
00:22:10AJ Lee looking out with Seth Brick and Rollins with a kickmate in the face.
00:22:16Punk looks defenseless now.
00:22:18He's been beaten to a pulp.
00:22:20And this dream return for AJ Lee is slipping away before our eyes.
00:22:30The question is, can CM Punk stay in the game?
00:22:36Come on, Punk.
00:22:37Two, three, come on.
00:22:39Now a Punk hung up on the second rope.
00:22:41And Becky Lynch with a slap.
00:22:44Becky Lynch now having her way with Punk as is Rollins.
00:22:47This is just torture to AJ Lee,
00:22:50who is completely helpless to do anything about it.
00:22:56Now Rollins, oh, right to the back of the deck.
00:22:59Really not the way CM Punk and AJ Lee dreamed this evening of.
00:23:04This was not how it was supposed to go.
00:23:08Punk trying to drag himself to the corner to make a tag to AJ Lee.
00:23:11And Rollins just having his way with.
00:23:15Just outmaneuvering once again.
00:23:16That has been the story of Seth Brick and Rollins and CM Punk.
00:23:24Punk with the right hand.
00:23:26Again, trying to get to the corner.
00:23:28Rollins not allowing it to happen.
00:23:30Another right by Punk trying to create some separation here.
00:23:36AJ wants in this matchup.
00:23:38Almost there.
00:23:42Tantalizingly close.
00:23:43But denied.
00:23:44Oh, and Punk ripped into the corner.
00:23:47Almost the talk that Seth Rollins allowed CM Punk so close to AJ Lee
00:23:54and then pulled it away.
00:23:57Increasing that mental agony on AJ Lee.
00:24:00And again, another cheap shot by Becky Lynch on Punk
00:24:03as Rollins expertly draws the official Jessica Carr.
00:24:07And you mentioned it earlier,
00:24:11two people who are at the top of the game right now.
00:24:14Rollins and Lynch.
00:24:15It's a mistake to think this is a purely athletic endeavor in WWE.
00:24:20It rarely is.
00:24:22The strategies, the tactics, the skullduggery,
00:24:26and no one specializes in that better than Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.
00:24:32Both champions.
00:24:33Rollins the world champ.
00:24:34Becky the intercontinental champion.
00:24:37And now Seth.
00:24:40Counters Punk there.
00:24:43Rollins with Punk up.
00:24:44Punk lands on his feet.
00:24:45Something has to give.
00:24:52And Punk with a suplex.
00:24:55And now he has an opportunity way to make a tag.
00:24:58And both men clearly feeling exhaustion.
00:25:00They've taken 90% of this matchup to themselves.
00:25:03It's supposed to obviously be a tag match.
00:25:06But imminently, the tag part might come into play.
00:25:09Can Punk get to AJ Lee?
00:25:13Dying to get into this matchup.
00:25:14Punk needs to get to AJ Lee.
00:25:16And if I was Seth Rollins,
00:25:17I would not want to tag Becky Lynch.
00:25:19And he does not.
00:25:20Yeah, Rollins wisely cuts Punk off.
00:25:24Doesn't allow him to get to his partner.
00:25:26Do not want a fresh, fired-off, energy-infused AJ Lee
00:25:31with all the momentum.
00:25:32This audience pulling her along,
00:25:34getting tagged into this one.
00:25:36You see the look of concern on AJ's face?
00:25:38Well, AJ realizes this might be over
00:25:41without her being legally brought into the match.
00:25:43What a return that would be.
00:25:45That would be great strategy by Rollins and Becky.
00:25:48Drawn up to perfection.
00:25:50Masterful.
00:25:54Again, stalemate center of the ring.
00:25:56Rollins trying to hold up Punk,
00:25:58who's now trying to move Rollins back toward the corner
00:26:00so he can make a tag to AJ Lee.
00:26:02Can Punk get there?
00:26:03He's close.
00:26:04Inching close and needs this in the worst way.
00:26:07Punk, fingertips away.
00:26:09Becky Lynch into the ring.
00:26:10Pat May.
00:26:11Pat May.
00:26:12Pat May.
00:26:12They see it.
00:26:12Great move by Becky.
00:26:14And now the double cane by Rollins and Lynch.
00:26:17AJ Lee should be legal here.
00:26:25They don't like it.
00:26:27Look at Rollins using his wife as a weapon.
00:26:31Military press to Becky Lynch.
00:26:36And toss it on.
00:26:37The Punk moves out of harm's way.
00:26:39Rollins made a critical error.
00:26:41Well, that completely backfired.
00:26:43And it's the first thing that has gone wrong
00:26:45for Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.
00:26:49Becky in deep trouble.
00:26:51Rollins can't believe that he just
00:26:53dropped his wife as Punk moved out of harm's way.
00:26:57Yeah, comedy to AJ Lee.
00:26:59And recovery time, importantly, for CM Punk.
00:27:01And Rollins letting his rage get the best of him.
00:27:04Punk now.
00:27:05Able to slip away.
00:27:06And now he's got a chance.
00:27:08Can he make it to AJ Lee?
00:27:10It really is.
00:27:12Now or never, CM Punk make that tag.
00:27:14And this thing is blown away.
00:27:18Oh, no.
00:27:19Becky Lynch again preventing AJ Lee
00:27:22from tagging into this matchup.
00:27:24And this has been a master class, Wade,
00:27:26by Lynch and Rollins.
00:27:29Everything you need to do behind a referee's back
00:27:32is an absolute specialty for Rollins and Lynch.
00:27:37And the falcon arrow by Seth Rollins.
00:27:38Cover now for the win and a kick out.
00:27:42Can you imagine being CM Punk
00:27:44if you get pinned here,
00:27:46you lose the match
00:27:47and you never tag your wife in
00:27:49on her big return?
00:27:51Well, he's trying.
00:27:52It's not like he's got lack of effort.
00:27:53I'm not disputing that,
00:27:55but imagine that conversation in the car, Hogue.
00:27:57Yeah, that wouldn't go over well, huh?
00:27:59There's going to be a lot of silence.
00:28:01A long drive back to Chicago.
00:28:02Some flowers bought in the morning, Pat.
00:28:04And now Rollins mocking AJ Lee here.
00:28:09That's pretty funny.
00:28:10I didn't think so.
00:28:12I didn't get the joke.
00:28:13No, I didn't get the joke.
00:28:14All right, humor's an individual thing.
00:28:22Welcome back, AJ.
00:28:30A lot of words running through my mind right now
00:28:33to call Seth Rollins.
00:28:34I mean, this has been so bitter.
00:28:40That's the point.
00:28:47This is ridiculous.
00:28:48It's embarrassing.
00:28:49What is it?
00:28:49He's going to pay for it.
00:28:50Punk, Scoopin' Rollins up.
00:28:52Look at the GPS.
00:28:53Boom.
00:28:54But Punk can't capitalize.
00:28:58Physically spent.
00:29:08The goading, the mockery went on just a beat too long.
00:29:11And running on fumes,
00:29:13CM Punk hits his nuclear missile right to the jaw.
00:29:18And now Becky trying to wake her husband up
00:29:19as C.F. Punk tries to drag himself across the leg.
00:29:22Becky Lynch does not want the tag to happen.
00:29:24A.J. Lee.
00:29:30Becky hanging on for dear life.
00:29:43Tag!
00:29:44Uh-oh!
00:29:46Here comes A.J.!
00:29:56There's press!
00:29:58A.J. Lee power to let Lynch!
00:30:03For the first time in a decade, A.J. Lee in the ring!
00:30:07Ten years plus of pent-up offense exploding in the face of Becky Lynch!
00:30:14There's no escape!
00:30:14And you've got to admit, Becky Lynch deserves all of this!
00:30:17A.J. Lee!
00:30:19The one thing Becky Lynch desperately was trying to avoid!
00:30:24And there's no way out now!
00:30:27A.J. Lee, a former three-time Divas champion,
00:30:30held the title over 400 days during those three reigns.
00:30:34An absolute trailblazer who made everyone believe that more was possible!
00:30:40Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, eight!
00:30:48Uh-oh!
00:30:49A.J. in trouble!
00:30:53And takes down Becky!
00:30:57Oh, and a big spin kick!
00:30:59Just seamlessly getting back to the level she was at in the past!
00:31:04How impressive is A.J. Lee?
00:31:06A.J. sliding under the bottom rope, now going to climb up top.
00:31:10A.J. Lee going to fly!
00:31:12Diclos back, body to Lynch, lateral press, hooks both legs, kick out!
00:31:17A.J. Lee is looking razor sharp!
00:31:20Take a look at this offense from A.J. Lee, fully committed to that lateral press!
00:31:28Diclos back, Diclos back, Diclos back, Diclos back, Diclos back, Diclos back, Diclos back, Diclos back!
00:31:37Cut the words right out of my mouth, Indy.
00:31:41Interestina, here in Indianapolis, Becky Lynch has never won a match in this city.
00:31:47Wild swing to the face of A.J. Lee there, Borto Root!
00:31:50A.J. Lee now having fun paint-rushing Lynch here!
00:31:55A.J. Payback for what Lynch did to CM Punk!
00:31:58A.J. And look at A.J. go, that unorthodox offensive style!
00:32:01A.J. just whinge, Billy!
00:32:05Uh-oh!
00:32:08A.J. Lee taking the fight to Rollins!
00:32:20A.J. ultimat payback!
00:32:25And Becky...
00:32:26Uh-oh!
00:32:27A.J. Lee lands on her feet, kick right to the midsection of Lynch!
00:32:31A.J. and now look at...
00:32:33A.J. take it out, both Becky and Seth!
00:32:43A.J. going for that wheelbarrow bulldog, but...
00:32:46A.J.
00:32:47A.J.
00:32:48A.J.
00:32:48... harebacked!
00:32:49A.J.
00:32:49A.J.
00:32:50... play to the beach, pull up!
00:32:51A.J.
00:32:51A.J.
00:32:51A.J.
00:32:51A.J.
00:32:52A.J.
00:32:52A.J.
00:32:52A.J.
00:32:53A.J.
00:32:53A.J.
00:32:54A.J.
00:32:54A.J.
00:32:55A.J.
00:32:55worked to perfection but didn't quite get the job done what else have you got aj lee
00:33:02aj simply rolling taking out anything that moves this tornado ddt with little assist from
00:33:11set freaking rollins and then this sliced bread taken out too not quite cutting away the
00:33:17intercontinental champ becky lynch and now punk and aj talking strategy rollins and lynch in the
00:33:23corner in trouble and aj with a patented punk running knee now the bulldogs
00:33:34and the shining wizard that's aj's move that is one tight power couple ride or dies
00:33:43and this is the pro level skip exactly set this is how it's done
00:33:47it looked like she was going for that black widow submission move and becky lynch though
00:33:56looking for her for this armor aj rolls her off and a kick out
00:34:02go for a ground-based version cold yes indeed if becky lynch in trouble you wonder if becky's
00:34:07going to tap out to this but great counter by becky turning into a pinning combination
00:34:15now aj lee black widow timeout becky can she completely lock it in center of the ring perhaps
00:34:22what's becky gonna do is she gonna tap out pump gonna run interference on rollins takes down rollins
00:34:29step through
00:34:31trying to slap on a sharp and he dies sharpshooter sharpshooter black widow sharpshooter black widow
00:34:39am i going to double tap out here
00:34:41rollins trying to make it to the wrong crowd back from the center of the ring
00:34:45punk and aj
00:34:49wow that ron's able to escape so inventive as well it's not quite sure how he managed i think i think he
00:34:56raked the eyes and now rollins gonna break up the black widow oh this is uncalled for
00:35:04and a black widow now on seth a black widow on seth rollins into the black widow by aj
00:35:12well seth rollins in agony but luckily for him wifey's here to save the day and the beck floater
00:35:18delivered to aj lee
00:35:23pendulum swinging back and forth but it might be about to swing one way for good and now it's a
00:35:29the couple's turn to deliver a double pedigree and the dream for aj lee may be over double cover kick
00:35:37out by later
00:35:41well somehow this one is still alive and the game plan for seth rollins and becky lynch may be coming
00:35:47apart before our eyes that was supposed to be in the end oh in sync you see seth rollins getting out
00:35:55of that sharpshooter and they're connecting with a beautiful super kick to the jaw and then this
00:36:00that exploded its way jay lee before we hit the in sync world pedigrees
00:36:06somehow we're still going the over 15 000 tonight indianapolis they are here because of us
00:36:16we're the main event we're the champs
00:36:18and now rollins and lynch are they going to use puck's own move against him no greater insult to beat
00:36:32a man with his own finishing move
00:36:38lynch and rollins looking for the gts what a statement this would be to go to sleep punk those
00:36:43slips underneath drives rollins up over the top of both men in the floor hook it hard
00:36:49and now aj with lynch and that's a a vex floater delivered to becky lynch
00:37:04now aj has all the time in the world to concoct whatever she wants
00:37:08and seth rollins down grabbing aj lee face first lee into the mat
00:37:16and rightfully so the grown to lose and stop stop by punk cover on no he's going to
00:37:24mount rollins and turned away punk taking out all his anger and now becky lynch with a slap and uh uh
00:37:31uh-oh punk saw exactly what seth did to aj and came on glue understandably so
00:37:53is he looking for the sharpshooter there right hand by rollins becky lynch from behind
00:38:13pinch down nice takedown and becky gonna stomp the midsection of punk with a step through maybe into
00:38:20a sharpshooter of her own rolls punk over center of the ring and this is an image nobody was expecting
00:38:30becky lynch with a sharpshooter locked into cm punk to try to fight his way out of this
00:38:36gonna power out a look of determination on that face
00:38:44and lynch taken down by punk and now begging off
00:38:50and now it's cm punk's turn way
00:38:55might snap the back of becky lynch and rollins not gonna allow that to happen
00:39:01and set rollins set it up top for pedigree
00:39:08here we go you know what he's going for here michael cole
00:39:11finish the job for good stop the cm punk ko out cold

00:39:38know the damage the manhandle slam did to aj lee a week ago
00:39:42not sure where he's at well this is completely up for grabs now all four competitors completely wiped
00:39:52out this should have been the end a stomp to cm punk and if not for his ride or die aj lee with a
00:40:02stop on her own it really was game over until becky lynch hit a manhandle slam that aj lee was able to kick out of
00:40:19the fire back now in the intercontinental champion
00:40:21critical moment in this match everyone down becky making it back to her feet first

00:40:37aj blocks it delivers the right of her own aj lee's done a fire back now in the intercontinental champion
00:40:45driven purely by bitterness
00:40:49and anger and frustration this is so personal
00:40:55now punk gonna separate becky from from aj seth rollins now takes the fight to cm punk and they're
00:41:01crawling in the middle of the ring this fight's been all over the place so much hatred between these
00:41:06competitors should have been over a long time ago

00:41:23gonna ball in the middle of the ring aj lee becky lynch rollins and punt now

01:07:01the tremendous Alicia Taylor
01:07:04with a ring announcement for our main event
01:07:06tonight for the disputed WWE
01:07:08championship
01:07:10it has been quite the ride for Cody Rhodes
01:07:12and Drew McIntyre
01:07:13the first time they shared a ring together was back in
01:07:162010
01:07:17later on that year
01:07:22they would become tag team
01:07:24partners, they go on to win
01:07:26tag team championship
01:07:28gold together
01:07:29in fact they defended the
01:07:44tag title successfully in this
01:07:47town of Indianapolis
01:07:48Cody run the
01:07:56tag titles with
01:07:58Jey Uso here in Indianapolis
01:07:59he beat Kevin Owens in a ladder match
01:08:01at the Royal Rumble earlier this year
01:08:03here
01:08:03and tonight
01:08:05his first title defense
01:08:07since winning back the world title
01:08:09from John Cena
01:08:10at SummerSlam
01:08:11Rhodes and McIntyre
01:08:14one-on-one for the title
01:08:16one-on-one for the title
01:08:16now nice waist lock by Cody Rhodes
01:08:36remember what McIntyre said coming into this matchup
01:08:38Wade
01:08:38he wanted to do this the right way
01:08:40he certainly started out that way
01:08:43and that is a clean break
01:08:44a clean break
01:08:45the official Ryan Tran
01:08:46asking Cody to come out of the corner
01:08:48now McIntyre with that high elbow
01:08:51Cody who came out the aggressor in this one
01:08:54which really isn't in his nature
01:08:55he's a technician
01:08:57he's a mover
01:08:58you don't want to go blow for blow
01:09:00with someone bigger and stronger than you
01:09:02like McIntyre
01:09:03but let's not forget what McIntyre did
01:09:05and the Claymore through the announce table
01:09:06cost Cody Rhodes five weeks of his career
01:09:09oh nice drop down
01:09:10and there's the right hand by Cody Rhodes
01:09:12aggressive out of the gate
01:09:13and a nice takedown
01:09:14headlock takedown
01:09:15by McIntyre
01:09:16well that's Cody's mistake
01:09:17and Drew has completely suckered him into that
01:09:20it's one thing being angry
01:09:23it's one thing trying to get vengeance
01:09:24but it's another thing to step out of what you are good at
01:09:27and into the world that your opponent specializes in
01:09:30Wade you were brought up with these two
01:09:34training of course down at FCW
01:09:36what went wrong between Cody and Drew
01:09:38the truth is what went wrong is far more recent than any of that
01:09:43they are both former punchlines in this industry
01:09:46jokes 10 years ago
01:09:48who both had to go away
01:09:50into obscurity and climb the mountain from the very bottom
01:09:53they've both done that
01:09:55but in McIntyre's eyes
01:09:57he had the more arduous climb
01:10:00whereas Cody has been propped up
01:10:02thanks to his last name
01:10:04and the WWE machine
01:10:05being behind him
01:10:07that's one way to look at it
01:10:08but the bionic elbow delivered
01:10:09by the American Nightmare
01:10:11homage to his dad
01:10:13the American Dream
01:10:14and Cody Rhodes fired up here tonight
01:10:17Cody Rhodes has earned this
01:10:18Cody Rhodes
01:10:19uh oh wait a minute
01:10:20Cody stumbling out of the box
01:10:24hit the Cody cutter however
01:10:25I saw this a couple of times I didn't say there's something off
01:10:29cover by Rhodes
01:10:30and a kick out by Drew what do you mean something's off
01:10:33well he's just a half step behind where he normally is
01:10:36that wasn't the first time that's happened in the match
01:10:38there's been a couple of moments here
01:10:40where Cody wasn't as crisp and speedy
01:10:43when he's at the upper hand
01:10:44I think it has something to do with the
01:10:46he's first match backs being driven to the announce table by McIntyre
01:10:50element of ring risk
01:10:51it is only five weeks though
01:10:53which for the most part
01:10:54a competitor at Cody's level
01:10:56that isn't a huge deal
01:10:58it's something you can normally
01:10:59skip over fairly easily
01:11:01but I'm keeping an eye on this now
01:11:03McIntyre
01:11:03fighting out of it
01:11:05Cody Rhodes still in control though
01:11:07McIntyre with authority
01:11:11he brought a drag
01:11:13McIntyre sent over the top rope
01:11:14so agile for a big man
01:11:15Cody now
01:11:16McIntyre simply a cheat code
01:11:19208 pounds of rippling muscle
01:11:23that moves like a cruiserweight
01:11:24yeah that disaster kicked by Rhodes
01:11:27and now Cody
01:11:28with a suicide dive to McIntyre
01:11:31driving McIntyre to the floor
01:11:33he seems to be shaking off
01:11:36whatever cobwebs were there earlier on
01:11:38and seems back in rare form
01:11:40and Cody again suicide dive
01:11:44McIntyre able to intercept him
01:11:46and now driving Cody
01:11:47spine first to the post
01:11:49Cody just underestimating the size
01:11:52and power of Drew McIntyre
01:11:53but now tasting it first hand
01:11:55McIntyre just swinging Rhodes
01:11:59over the Spanish announce table
01:12:01practically cleared the table
01:12:03that was so effortless from McIntyre
01:12:06and looking at the dark pits of the eyes
01:12:08on the table
01:12:10catching the edge
01:12:12which may have caused some real damage
01:12:13to the lower back of Cody Rhodes
01:12:16and remember McIntyre in the stands
01:12:18Rhodes has the champion's advantage
01:12:19he's got to get him in the ring
01:12:21and punish Cody to win the gold
01:12:22right now McIntyre in control
01:12:25of Rhodes who again just collapses to his knees
01:12:28you know what we saw what happened on Smackdown last night
01:12:31there was a boot to the place
01:12:32there was a stomp to the head of Rhodes
01:12:34on the ground
01:12:36and I think Cody is really showing some effect
01:12:39he got his bell rung yesterday
01:12:40and it's affecting him in this
01:12:42and we're admiring the power of McIntyre
01:12:45but that is not the full story here
01:12:47you think that has something to do with it
01:12:48what happened last night
01:12:49well Cody doesn't seem to be playing
01:12:51with his usual full attack
01:12:52and now McIntyre again with a belly to belly throw
01:12:55sending Rhodes across the ring
01:12:57and Drew McIntyre is having his way
01:12:59for the WWE champion right now
01:13:02Drew predicted this
01:13:03he said it was going to be a bad night for Cody
01:13:05well Drew has stacked the deck
01:13:07by the attack on Cody last night
01:13:09that stomp to the head
01:13:11against the ground
01:13:12I think has left some lingering effects
01:13:14in the brain of Cody Rhodes
01:13:17and he's now fighting through the fog
01:13:19to try and get a little clarity
01:13:21and it's a fight he's losing
01:13:23but wait and also McIntyre's made a
01:13:25very clear about the fact
01:13:29that he believes Cody Rhodes
01:13:30has stretched himself very thin
01:13:33between all the media appearances
01:13:35oh god look at Cody's schedule
01:13:37just this past week
01:13:38oh and post
01:13:39shoulder to the post for McIntyre
01:13:42and Cody buys himself some time
01:13:44Cody needs time more than anything right now
01:13:47I'm looking at him
01:13:47the guy's wobbling
01:13:48looks like he's had 10 pints of Peter
01:13:50and that is not a good thing
01:13:52in the early goings of a
01:13:53championship matchup
01:13:55against McIntyre
01:13:56Cody now with a kick
01:13:57to the face of McIntyre
01:13:58Rhodes has not lost him out
01:14:00since WrestleMania
01:14:00as he's bounced face first
01:14:02off the apron
01:14:03you're right in the hardest part
01:14:05of the ring
01:14:05head first
01:14:06and if there weren't issues before
01:14:08there certainly are now
01:14:09and McIntyre's
01:14:10about to exacerbate the problem
01:14:12Cody Rhodes
01:14:15oh no not to the steps
01:14:17none of the steps
01:14:18through
01:14:18Alabama slam out of the steel steps
01:14:21and this is just a masterclass
01:14:25from McIntyre
01:14:25he knows the weakness
01:14:26he smells it
01:14:28into the cover
01:14:29smell of a championship
01:14:30and a kick out
01:14:31at two
01:14:32McIntyre doing exactly what he needs to do
01:14:38against the best
01:14:38spot the weakness
01:14:40and attack
01:14:41attack
01:14:41attack
01:14:42Bob Hawley would be proud of that
01:14:44as McIntyre now
01:14:45mounts Rhodes
01:14:46and the big right hands
01:14:48from a Scottish warrior
01:14:49look at Cody trying to cover up now
01:14:52from the attack by McIntyre
01:14:53just trying to protect himself here
01:14:55dangerously now is Cody Rhodes
01:14:59who may as you said
01:15:01Cole
01:15:01have stretched himself
01:15:03far too thinly
01:15:04and completely underestimated
01:15:06the threat
01:15:07of the Scottish psychopath
01:15:09Cody hasn't been able
01:15:10to put together
01:15:11any sustained offense tonight
01:15:12I mean he looked good
01:15:15for about two minutes
01:15:16in the early goings
01:15:17and then the
01:15:17the cobwebs
01:15:18came to the fore
01:15:20and this right here
01:15:21is the pace
01:15:22that McIntyre wants
01:15:24then it goes 6'6
01:15:25280 pounds
01:15:27Cody Rhodes though
01:15:28climbs the ropes
01:15:29hooks McIntyre
01:15:30and again
01:15:31Cody's showing some flashes here
01:15:33in this match
01:15:34with a super flash
01:15:36no
01:15:36and look
01:15:38even if you execute that move
01:15:40you take a hell of a landing yourself
01:15:42and Cody
01:15:42smashed him
01:15:44the back of his head
01:15:45against the mat
01:15:45on the landing
01:15:46don't watch Drew
01:15:47Drew takes an impact
01:15:48but watch Cody's head
01:15:49that's what hit
01:15:51and Cody hasn't moved since
01:15:53and you're still concerned
01:15:54after the head injury
01:15:56suffered last night
01:15:57at the hands of McIntyre
01:15:58it's 100% it
01:15:59look I've been in there before
01:16:00normally that happens
01:16:01you need at least a week off
01:16:03Cody didn't get that
01:16:04he doesn't have that luxury
01:16:0624 hours off
01:16:07this is for the world
01:16:10the WWE Championship
01:16:12undisputed
01:16:13live at Wrestlepalooza
01:16:15in Indianapolis
01:16:16in front of 15,000 plus
01:16:18at Gainbridge Fieldhouse
01:16:20and now McIntyre and Rhodes
01:16:22exchanging blues
01:16:23in the middle of the ring
01:16:24Rhodes showing some fight
01:16:32well Cody's not thinking here
01:16:34he's just reacting
01:16:35he reacted well there
01:16:38stunning McIntyre
01:16:39now up over the top
01:16:41for Rhodes again
01:16:41went right back to his head
01:16:43but he was able to deliver
01:16:44a power slam
01:16:45he's got the worst migraine
01:16:47in history buzzing
01:16:48through the brain
01:16:50of Cody Rhodes
01:16:50and somehow
01:16:51he's got to figure out
01:16:52a path to victory here
01:16:54against one of the absolute
01:16:55best in McIntyre
01:16:57and again slow to his feet
01:16:58Cody cutters
01:17:00oh second
01:17:00with a disaster kick
01:17:02instead
01:17:02Cody Rhodes
01:17:04is starting to build momentum now
01:17:06against the number one contender
01:17:08but it's a slow momentum
01:17:09due to this
01:17:10mental issue
01:17:11that Cody apparently has
01:17:13trying to staff offense
01:17:15is almost impossible
01:17:16in this condition
01:17:17off the second rope
01:17:18yet again
01:17:19went for the Cody cutter
01:17:20and he was slammed down
01:17:21and he took out McIntyre
01:17:23what a move
01:17:24by Cody Rhodes
01:17:25who once again
01:17:26couldn't be closing in
01:17:27on the win in this matchup
01:17:29you can tell McIntyre
01:17:30tried to power Cody
01:17:31in that one
01:17:32tried to hold him up
01:17:33he just didn't have
01:17:34enough strength
01:17:34Cody was able to capitalize
01:17:36and now Rhodes
01:17:37and McIntyre
01:17:38fights out of it
01:17:39nice knee to the head
01:17:41there again
01:17:41rocking the brain of Cody
01:17:43kick to the face
01:17:45by Rhodes
01:17:45second rope
01:17:46now for the champion
01:17:46McIntyre
01:17:48with a Glasgow kiss
01:17:49remember
01:17:49he delivered that last night
01:17:51the end of the contract signing
01:17:53McIntyre knew exactly
01:17:56how to hurt Cody
01:17:57how to take Cody
01:17:58out of his game
01:17:59and it has worked a treat
01:18:01high above the ring
01:18:04McIntyre and Rhodes
01:18:06McIntyre pulling out
01:18:11all the stops
01:18:12not that common
01:18:13that you see McIntyre
01:18:14taking an opponent
01:18:15up top
01:18:16or maybe a page
01:18:17out of Sheamus' playbook
01:18:18it could be white noise
01:18:19time
01:18:20Cody high above the ring
01:18:22white noise
01:18:23by McIntyre
01:18:24cover now
01:18:25to win
01:18:26the WWE Championship

01:18:29Sheamus just threw
01:18:31his can of Guinness
01:18:32at the TV
01:18:32in anger
01:18:33almost as angry
01:18:35as McIntyre
01:18:37when Cody
01:18:39kicked out of that
01:18:40what a massive impact
01:18:41again on the back
01:18:42of the neck
01:18:43and the head

01:18:58off the cobwebs
01:18:59one man not
01:19:00and McIntyre
01:19:03could be looking
01:19:04to the Claymore
01:19:04to put Cody Rhodes
01:19:05away
01:19:06and win the championship
01:19:08Rhodes though
01:19:09able to counter
01:19:10stacking up McIntyre
01:19:11kick out by Drew
01:19:12attempted a powerbomb
01:19:14they didn't get all
01:19:15of it
01:19:15but enough
01:19:15to get out
01:19:16the way
01:19:16oh and again
01:19:17a Glasgow kiss
01:19:18by Drew

01:19:21Cody rolled out
01:19:22of harm's way
01:19:23Cody Rhodes
01:19:24now looking
01:19:24for the figure four
01:19:25and locked in McIntyre
01:19:30a long way
01:19:31from any ropes
01:19:32here
01:19:33Cody's got the figure
01:19:35four locked in
01:19:36well
01:19:36McIntyre
01:19:37the only thing
01:19:38he can do
01:19:38is perhaps
01:19:39roll on his belly
01:19:39and
01:19:40McIntyre
01:19:41close to tapping
01:19:42out here
01:19:43Cody's got it
01:19:44locked in
01:19:44will McIntyre
01:19:45tap
01:19:46this is so good
01:19:47for Cody
01:19:47not only is he
01:19:48put through
01:19:49in jeopardy
01:19:49he's also
01:19:50buying a chance
01:19:51to mentally recover
01:19:52Cody's screaming
01:19:54at McIntyre
01:19:55Cody needs to tap
01:19:57out here
01:19:58in the worst way
01:19:59and one
01:20:00jab
01:20:00to the jaw
01:20:01and it looks like
01:20:03Cody got knocked
01:20:04out cold
01:20:04McIntyre caught him
01:20:05flush on the jaw
01:20:06I mean normally
01:20:09I think Cody
01:20:09could shrug that off
01:20:10but he's so beaten
01:20:11up mentally
01:20:12he's really
01:20:13really struggling
01:20:14tonight
01:20:14this is not
01:20:15the usual
01:20:16Cody Rhodes
01:20:17and the official
01:20:18Ryan Tran
01:20:18checking on the
01:20:19champion
01:20:19Cody's eyes
01:20:20are glassy
01:20:21can't even
01:20:22defend himself
01:20:23that is why
01:20:24the ref may need
01:20:25to step in
01:20:25if the ref does
01:20:26step in
01:20:27then we've got
01:20:27a new champ
01:20:28and McIntyre
01:20:29ripping the
01:20:29protective pad
01:20:31off the turnbuckle
01:20:32exposing the steal
01:20:33I gotta put it
01:20:34back on

01:20:35the official's
01:20:36saying I gotta
01:20:37put it back on
01:20:37McIntyre
01:20:38tosses it out
01:20:39into the entrance
01:20:40left
01:20:40no respect

01:20:44tonight to win gold
01:20:45not friends
01:20:46Rhodes now hooks
01:20:47McIntyre
01:20:48look at the crossroads
01:20:49into the corner
01:20:50the official
01:20:51rolls out of harm's
01:20:52way
01:20:52McIntyre's got
01:20:53Rhodes pinned
01:20:54back into the ring
01:20:55and a kick out

01:21:00what did the referee
01:21:00get out of the ring
01:21:01for
01:21:02he's trying to
01:21:03alert disaster
01:21:04and now

01:21:17again
01:21:17what was this referee
01:21:18doing
01:21:18the official
01:21:18had to get out
01:21:19of harm's way
01:21:20saving himself there
01:21:21well Drew
01:21:22had the match
01:21:23one
01:21:23that's a pin
01:21:24the referee
01:21:24should never
01:21:25have cut out
01:21:26the ring
01:21:26it's the first
01:21:27rule of
01:21:27refereeing
01:21:28you don't get out
01:21:29of the referee
01:21:30if the competitor
01:21:31you don't get out
01:21:31of the ring
01:21:32unless the competitors
01:21:33do
01:21:33and Cody was able
01:21:34to use that
01:21:34exposed turnbuckle
01:21:35McIntyre though
01:21:38still able to kick
01:21:39out of the crossroads
01:21:40well as McIntyre
01:21:43does not win
01:21:44this match
01:21:45he will have
01:21:46a major
01:21:46bone of contention
01:21:48with this official
01:21:49Cody off the
01:21:51second row
01:21:51and McIntyre
01:21:53slamming Cody
01:21:54to the mat
01:21:54as he went
01:21:55for the Cody
01:21:55cutter
01:21:56exactly what
01:21:57McIntyre
01:21:57tried earlier
01:21:58didn't work
01:21:58back then
01:21:59did the second
01:22:00time
01:22:00McIntyre
01:22:01over the top
01:22:02and he caught
01:22:03Cody hard
01:22:04Drew McIntyre
01:22:05was never designed
01:22:06to throw that
01:22:07kind of offense
01:22:08but it worked
01:22:08Rhodes back
01:22:09into the ring
01:22:10quickly
01:22:10McIntyre
01:22:11looking to put
01:22:12Cody away
01:22:12putting him in
01:22:13position
01:22:13for a Claymore
01:22:14kick
01:22:15that connects
01:22:15McIntyre
01:22:17goes to the cover
01:22:18so close
01:22:20to winning
01:22:21the world title
01:22:22that Claymore
01:22:24practically
01:22:25knocked
01:22:26Cody Rhodes
01:22:27out of his boots
01:22:28how the hell
01:22:30did Cody
01:22:31kick out there
01:22:32looking for
01:22:33his fourth

01:22:35almost pinned
01:22:37the undisputed
01:22:38WWE champion
01:22:39there
01:22:40and now
01:22:41McIntyre
01:22:41in despair
01:22:42from despair
01:22:45to where
01:22:46if you're gonna
01:22:47win gold
01:22:48tonight

01:22:54clouds
01:22:54are all
01:22:55forming
01:22:55in the mind
01:22:56of McIntyre

01:22:57convinced
01:22:58the world
01:22:59is against
01:22:59him
01:23:00and again
01:23:01he calls
01:23:01Rhodes

01:23:03Cody
01:23:06trying to
01:23:06regain

01:25:41to be major
01:25:42questions

01:25:44McIntyre is not
01:25:45currently holding
01:25:46the goal
01:25:46this was brilliant
01:25:47from Cody

01:25:49we know how top
01:25:51Cody Rhodes is
01:25:52that's what McIntyre

01:25:54something else
01:25:54to complain about
01:25:55well this is the
01:25:56referee getting
