00:00Burn it down!
00:11And his opponent, Crookshaven Court, Iowa, weighing in 217 pounds,
00:17Seth Rollins.
00:20Ladies and gentlemen, this is what Seth Rollins is capable of.
00:23On this program last week, he delivered a stop to the Swiss cyborg Cesaro.
00:28Cesaro suffered a cervical strain, and he's been out of action ever since.
00:33So my question to you is this, Pat.
00:35Imagine Edge, who underwent a double neck fusion surgery.
00:40He had an artificial disc and a rubber spacer put into his neck as well.
00:45It cost him 10 years of his career.
00:48Imagine if Rollins hits the stomp on Edge.
00:52All Seth Rollins was trying to do at SummerSlam was hit to stomp on Edge.
00:57Edge knows that.
00:58Edge has gone above and beyond to get that neck into the best shape that's ever been.
01:04He is an odds beater in tonight at MSG.
01:07Seth Rollins said that the match against Edge at SummerSlam, a match that Edge won last month in Las Vegas, changed him.
01:17Rollins, in Edge's words, was Edge-like.
01:22What we saw last week out of Seth Rollins was anything but that.
01:27The lead up for SummerSlam got a big grotesque between these two in the mind games department.
01:34It had to have only continued for Seth Rollins ever since.
01:39So for the first time in 11 years, Edge returns to action inside Madison Square Garden in New York
01:45to take on a man who cost him the Universal Championship a couple of months ago, Seth Rollins.
01:51Edge's chance raining down in MSG. Can you trend higher than number one?
02:01There are 14,425 WWE fans here tonight.
02:06Sold out.
02:07Madison Square Garden in New York, and we're underway.
02:10Edge versus Rollins.
02:12One Hall of Famer against a future one.
02:15A Sunday fight on a Friday.
02:20Hurley controlled by Edge.
02:22And Rollins.
02:24Bringing the tables and goes right to work on the left arm of the Rated-R superstar.
02:29Very cerebral, both of these men.
02:31Men.
02:32T's and P's, by the way, to the cerebral.
02:34Well, much like the match we saw back at SummerSlam, Pat.
02:37A very strategy-filled match.
02:42Both men feeling each other out.
02:43Again, Rollins.
02:44It has bugged him.
02:45He felt embarrassed and humiliated over the fact that he lost to Edge back at SummerSlam.
02:50And wants to correct that wrong tonight.
02:52Edge wants to finally put an end to Rollins.
02:54You gotta remember, this all began because Edge cut the line of Seth Rollins to get a shot at Rollins.
03:00Those are Rollins' words.
03:01And it was what happened.
03:03I'm not saying it wasn't deserved or warranted, but that's certainly what happened.
03:06Now, Edge up over the top.
03:08And Rollins went right to the knee.
03:12And Edge a bit perplexed over the early strategy by Rollins in this match.
03:16Remember, back at SummerSlam, Pat, Rollins focused on Edge's surgically repaired neck the entire match.
03:24So focused by Rollins.
03:26Bruce Arian said last night.
03:29He's the Buccaneers coach.
03:30You can learn just as much from a close loss as you can from a loss.
03:35Hell yeah, probably afterwards.
03:36And then drank some vodka or whiskey.
03:38And Seth Rollins had to learn so much from his loss.
03:41Now going for the leg that he attacked early on.
03:43Edge now rolls Rollins up, who's got a kick out at two.
03:46Rollins, right hand blocked by Edge.
03:48And Edge delivers a right of his own.
03:50Seth Rollins said, I'm not just gonna focus on the neck.
03:53I'm gonna try to take out the whole body.
03:54Edge doesn't care about any of it.
03:56Yeah.
03:57And look at this.
03:58Oh!
03:59Almost sent Edge face first into the turnbuckle.
04:00And Rollins thought he connected.
04:01Edge able to block.
04:02And now it dropped.
04:03Toe hold sends Rollins face first into the turnbuckle.
04:07I think, I think...
04:08And now...
04:09Oh!
04:10Shoulder first to the post!
04:11Did you hear that?
04:12I was about to say, let's keep an eye on whether or not Edge is still in that dark place
04:15he said that Seth drove him to so he could get that win in SummerSlam.
04:19And again, listen to this.
04:21Oh!
04:22That's a shoulder hitting the ring post.
04:23And now look at Edge focusing on the shoulder of Rollins.
04:25And Rollins rolling out of harm's way.
04:28It's hard to beat somebody twice.
04:29One, two!
04:30And now dragging Edge out of the ring.
04:32Yeah!
04:33Driving Edge into the barricade.
04:34Three!
04:35One!
04:36And we saw what an unhinged Rollins is capable of last week.
04:40We've seen it for the last year, Cole.
04:43And now, oh, hanging Rollins up on the top rope as Edge.
04:46He's maniacal.
04:47He's insane.
04:48Yeah, but Edge is the ultimate opportunist, the master manipulator.
04:52He will find it opening and capitalize as he's trying to do here.
04:56And drilling his knee into the side of the face of Rollins.
04:59And now Edge, oh!
05:01Runs into the knee by Seth.
05:04And Rollins up to the top rope.
05:10WWE fans electric at Madison Square Garden tonight.
05:14And look at Rollins driving Edge out of the ring.
05:17Went up to the top rope.
05:18Edge was moving away and Rollins wisely came down and went on the attack.
05:21This might be the new game plan.
05:22Can't let Edge sleep for a second.
05:24And Rollins taking out Edge.
05:26Rollins in control.
05:27Can Edge climb back into this live on Fox?
05:30And tonight on Friday Night SmackDown on Fox, an epic battle between Seth Rollins and the Hall of Famer Edge.
05:41And Seth Rollins is taking control.
05:43Rollins screaming, you think you're better than me.
05:51And I was about to say, Epic is the only way to describe what has been happening during the commercial break here in MSG.
05:56A couple of times, Edge looked like he was gonna crawl back into the match, but Seth Rollins regained control.
06:02Rollins trying to exercise those ghosts that still haunted after SummerSlam.
06:07The loss to Edge.
06:09Rollins launches himself off the top rope and there's the flying knee.
06:13Is it enough to put Edge away?
06:14Crawls to the cover.
06:15Hook of a leg now on the Rated R Superstar who kicks out at two.
06:19Seth almost exercised his demons there.
06:23Getting a little payback at Edge after SummerSlam.
06:27Edge has been valiantly fighting in this thing.
06:30Seth has been candidly beating the hell out of it.
06:34Oh, there's a reason Edge is an 11-time world champion.
06:38As you take a look at a sold-out Madison Square Garden in New York City.
06:4314,425 WWE fans at the Mecca.
06:49The first time in two years entertaining SmackDown.
06:54This has been an amazing night thus far.
06:56I can't believe we're watching Seth freaking Rollins and Edge right now.
07:00Roman Reigns gonna answer Brock Lesnar's challenge one way or another.
07:05Plus the tag team titles, the Usos and the Street Profits.
07:09The world could look much differently for the entire bloodline after tonight.
07:13Brock Lesnar, the largest human to ever be created, the most powerful human to ever be created, showed up and said,
07:19Hey, Paul Heyman, I want my chance.
07:23But that's for later.
07:24Right now it's about two legends.
07:27Yeah, in a SummerSlam rematch.
07:29Rollins and Edge.
07:30And oh!
07:31And a Legley's takedown by Seth Rollins.
07:35And again, continuing to work on a knee pat that Rollins attacked at the very outset of this match.
07:42We all thought the strategy was gonna be the neck.
07:44But instead, Rollins is focused on the lower body of the Rated-R Superstar.
07:51I would assume back in the day, Achilles knew that everybody was gonna attack his heel.
07:56So he had to protect it.
07:57Edge has had to do the same thing with his neck.
07:59And he proved that at SummerSlam.
08:01I would love to spend some time in your mind.
08:05And Rollins, again, looking to...
08:10Rollins saying, it's my time.
08:12Seth Rollins found out that he can't just attack a man's neck, especially coming back from all the neck injuries.
08:17That's all he trained for.
08:18He's going after the knee.
08:19But Edge's grit will always be there no matter what body attacks.
08:23Yeah, right hands for Edge.
08:24Delivered on Rollins.
08:25Look for the enziguri.
08:26And Rollins able to step out of the way.
08:28And now, look at Rollins!
08:30Is that the glam?
08:31That's the glam slam!
08:33Wasn't as clean as the family member did it.
08:36That is the move that was made famous by Edge's wife, the Hall of Famer, Beth Phoenix.
08:40How's that taste?
08:41He is now a commentator.
08:48Well, I think Seth Rollins heard you, Pat, because Seth Rollins gonna inflict more punishment to Edge with another glam slam!
08:56Picture perfect!
08:58And a cover down by Rollins for the win!
09:00And Edge happens to kick out at two!
09:02It's like Edge bobbled out of the first one.
09:06Seth Rollins said, uh-uh, we're doing this again.
09:10Picture perfect Edge meet ring.
09:15Close to three there.
09:16What will Seth have to do to keep Edge out of this?
09:18The man was told by numerous doctors you'll never wrestle again.
09:22He defied all odds and got back here after a decade of being out of action.
09:27Ernest Rollins, though, not getting frustrated.
09:29Rollins, oh, looked like he was going for the Edge-O-Cution, which is Edge's move.
09:33And now Edge blocks!
09:35Wanted to deliver one of his own!
09:37And now Rollins looking for the pedigree!
09:39Edge slide through, shoulders down, Edge rolls through.
09:44And now Edge, as he tried to grab the Edge-O-Matic, the submission move.
09:50But Rollins makes it to the ropes.
09:52Rollins went for the double-A takedown.
09:56And now Edge with a pedigree!
09:59Edge with a pedigree for the win over Rollins here tonight on SmackDown!
10:05Edge paying homage with a pedigree in the middle of the ring!
10:16The man who made that payment is an absolute stud!
10:20Edge, in his first time back in Madison Square Garden in 11 years,
10:27almost puts down Seth Rollins for the second time in a month!
10:32Remember, Rollins used the pedigree at SummerSlam.
10:34Edge would use it tonight.
10:35And now, Edge heading up to the top rope.
10:39Seth Rollins down here at the announce table.
10:41Edge gonna launch himself into Rollins!
10:43Down goes Rollins!
10:45This is an all-out ball!
10:46Rollins and Edge on Fox!
10:55And we are back live on Friday Night SmackDown.
10:57Edge and Seth Rollins, one-on-one inside Madison Square Garden in the U.S.
11:01Square Garden in New York!
11:02And Edge planting Rollins' full Nelson Slam!
11:05Cover for the win!
11:06And a kick out at two!
11:08Edge and Seth are in the deepest of waters right now.
11:14Who's out conditioned who?
11:17Who can handle more abuse?
11:19Edge tossing it out right now to Seth Rollins,
11:22and Seth somehow managing to kick out.
11:24Epic clash on Friday Night SmackDown!
11:29Seth Rollins trying to avenge a loss to Edge back at SummerSlam last month in Las Vegas.
11:35Edge trying to put Rollins away once and for all.
11:39Madison Square guarding, buzzing around Edge right now.
11:51SummerSlam rematch.
11:53Edge heading to the top rope.
11:54Seth Rollins gonna meet him there!
11:56How the hell did he do that?
11:58Is that a spider monkey?
11:59No!
12:00Rollins looking for a superplex and Edge able to block Pat!
12:03And now Rollins fights first!
12:05Edge got him where he wants him!
12:07Edge aisle up!
12:08Quick!
12:09Done!
12:10Edge says,
12:11Gets off my rope, sir!
12:15Edge now.
12:16Oh!
12:17Caught!
12:18Caught Rollins!
12:19Looks to step through now and put Rollins away!
12:21Rollins trying to make him step to the bottom rope to put that attempt out here!
12:31The rope would break the hold.
12:32Oh!
12:33And then driving Edge into the bottom turnbuckle.
12:35So with that, Edge has gone off the top rope to the outside.
12:40The middle rope now, leaving nothing in the chamber here against Seth Rollins.
12:45And now Rollins, look at Rollins.
12:46Rollins looked like he was trying to set up a crossface, which Edge is used to his advantage.
12:49Two-count kick out by Rollins.
12:51And now Edge looking for the crossface!
12:56Rollins looks to roll through.
12:57Edge still hasn't walked in.
12:58Is Rollins gonna tap out?
13:00I think Edge rolled that into the center of the ring.
13:04Rollins trying to make it to the rope to force a break.
13:06Can he get there?
13:07He tapped out at SummerSlam!
13:09We can't forget that!
13:10This was the same move that took Rollins out in Las Vegas.
13:13Will it happen here again tonight on SmackDown?
13:16And Edge doing this as well!
13:18That's SummerSlam!
13:19But this time Rollins makes it to the ropes to force the break.
13:23Bouncing Seth Rollins' head like a basketball.
13:25And he's Trey Young in Madison Square Garden.
13:28Edge has gone back to that dark place.
13:30Look at those eyes!
13:31Oh wow, he's blinking there, but there they are.
13:35He had to go to that place at SummerSlam!
13:44Has he gotten back there yet again?
13:48Rollins is in trouble.
13:50Edge gaining momentum as we take another look at Edge in the execution!
13:54All momentum and body weight right on the cranium!
14:03And now Edge looking for the spear!
14:05Locked into a swinging neck breaker!
14:07What a counter by Rollins!
14:09Spear countered into a neck breaker!
14:11First neck attack from Seth!
14:14Seth was going for the stomp!
14:17Sit-out powerbomb by Edge!
14:20Rollins at two and a half!
14:22For the first time tonight, Rollins attacked the neck!
14:26It immediately went for the stomp, which was countered by Edge!
14:32Early on, earlier on, Edge was in that place and Seth reverses it into a neck breaker!
14:38And then this, the sit-out powerbomb by Edge!
14:41Both men down, center of the ring!
14:44Critical moment in this match on SmackDown!
14:47Both men running the closed Sicilian!
14:50This is a chess match!
14:52Who can outwit who at this point?
14:54Edge now with Rollins on his shoulder!
14:59And now Edge trying to drag himself back up to the rope and hammering away on Rollins!
15:08Set so out of it, his body weight's draping over the pole!
15:13And now, Rollins with Edge!
15:16Up high!
15:17Rollins!
15:18Buckle ball!
15:19From laying out over the ring post to buckle bomb in mere seconds!
15:26And Seth Rollins realizes he has a chance now!
15:30The architect sensing the time might be now!
15:34Look at the impact!
15:36It's like a car crash happening!
15:40And now the man who calls himself a visionary!
15:44A revolutionary!
15:45Seth Rollins again!
15:47Run for the stop!
15:48He got hit by the spear!
15:49Edge from out of nowhere!
15:51Drakes himself into the cover for the victory!
15:54Rollins stays in it!
15:56Wow!
15:58How do you eat a spear at this stage?
16:03A devastating tackle!
16:10Both of these men are physically spat!
16:14They're exhausted as this match continues!
16:1814,425!
16:21Sold out!
16:22Madison Square Garden New York!
16:24And an epic clash between Edge and Seth Rollins on Friday night SmackDown on Fox!
16:31MSG having an outer body experience!
16:34A dream match is living up to all expectations!
16:38Somehow a Sunday night marquee mania is happening on a Friday!
16:45Rollins trying to scramble away!
16:47Edge with a right hand!
16:50And this fight continues!
16:52Just deep, deep disdain between both of these men!
16:56That's a great word and I think it's accurate!
16:59Big knee to the face from Seth!
17:01And Rollins with a right hand!
17:04Seth Rollins again looking for a neck breaker on Edge!
17:08Edge able to counter!
17:09Rollins makes it into the ropes!
17:11Oh and a low blow!
17:12And the official never saw it!
17:14Rollins went down low with the kick!
17:16And now right to the knee!
17:18Just got sandwiched in the corner!
17:20Got out of it and didn't even see the low blow!
17:22And a kick in the face!
17:23And now Edge is in trouble!
17:24Edge is in deep, deep trouble!
17:26Edge trying to drag himself to his feet!
17:29But Edge is...
17:31Edge!
17:32Knocked down by Rollins!
17:34Now knocked down!
17:36Out of it it looks like!
17:38Seth Rollins!
17:39Rollins has Edge where he wants him!
17:42Edge is defenseless!
17:43Another kick by Rollins!
17:47Edge just stared down the barrel of the boot there!
18:03Oh my God, Pat!
18:07He's too tough for his own damn good!
18:09Oh my God, Edge is...
18:10Edge get the hell out of the way!
18:11Why!
18:12Will!
18:13You!
18:14Die!
18:15Oh, and another kick in the face!
18:16And this time, Edge completely taken down to the mat!
18:25Does Edge have anything left?
18:30Edge trying to drag himself up, but no, no, no, no, no!
18:33Rollins with a stomp!
18:35A stomp to Edge!
18:36Edge!
18:37It felt like Edge knew this was over!
18:40Just stared down three superkicks with his face!
18:45The devastating stomp that Edge tried so hard to avoid!
18:49A stomp to the surgically repaired neck!
18:52Edge is motionless!
18:54Rollins with the cover and the victory!
18:58Here is your winner, Seth Rollins!
19:04The official Jessica Carr...
19:11She might...
19:14Apparently, I think she's calling for help!
19:16Edge is motionless!
19:18Edge has not moved since the stomp was delivered!
19:21And EMTs now making their way down to ringside!
19:27Pat, this is something that we have feared for...
19:31For a couple of years now since the return of Edge to action...
19:34Here in WWE...
19:36Oh, no!
19:37I'm gonna get her to play, make it feel free!
19:40Oh, God!
19:41I'm gonna get her to play, make it feel free!
19:42God!
19:43I'm gonna get her to play!
19:44I'm gonna get her to play, I'm gonna get her to play!
19:45Uh-oh!
19:46Let's go!
19:47Let's go!
19:48We're gonna get her to play!
19:49That's usual!
19:50Uh-oh!
19:51I mean, I don't...
19:52I don't really know, you know?
19:53Uh...
19:54I don't...
19:55My arm hurts.
19:56I don't really...
19:57I don't really know how I feel about it right now.
19:58I don't know, uh...
19:59I don't know how I'm supposed to feel.
20:00Um...
20:01Uh...
20:02I mean, I don't...
20:03I don't really know, you know?
20:04Uh...
20:05I don't...
20:06I don't really know, you know?
20:07Uh...
20:08I don't...
20:09I don't...
20:10My...
20:11My arm hurts.
20:12I don't really...
20:13I don't really know how I feel about it right now.
20:14I don't know, uh...
20:15I don't know how I'm supposed to feel.
20:19Um...
20:20How do you feel?
20:21How do you feel?
20:22I mean...
20:23I mean, I just don't know.
20:24I don't know how I'm supposed to feel.
20:25I don't know...
20:26I don't know.
20:27I don't know, maybe um, I don't know, maybe I don't feel anything at all.
