00:00Tonight is going to be Hell.
00:10For two of WWE's most ferocious competitors,
00:16Hell comes in the form of a giant's devastating punch.
00:21A wicked right hand, if I think so.
00:24And a warrior's crushing kick.
00:27What a shot, my shit.
00:29With pure might of power,
00:32these two superstars are ready to unleash their own brand of Hell.
00:39I'm going to KO Samus,
00:41and I'm going to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.
00:44Nobody takes this championship more seriously than me.
00:47May the best man win.
00:55For a respect-hungry champion,
00:58I am the best in the world,
01:00and I command respect.
01:03Hell comes in the form,
01:06not only of an unforgiving steel cell,
01:10but a six-foot-three,
01:15291-pound beast,
01:20with an insatiable appetite
01:25for annihilation.
01:30Unstoppable.
01:34Unstoppable.
01:35Undefeated.
01:36Four superstars, each in their own hunt for victory.
01:40I want the World Heavyweight Championship.
01:43The time for fighting is now.
01:45I've been WWE Champion for 337 days.
01:57Respect.
01:58You want to miss the distinct?
01:59Or you want to be a legend?
02:00Tonight will indeed be Hell.
02:07Even me, Hulk.
02:12And now, WWE presents...
02:24Hell in a Cell.
02:42This is Atlanta, Georgia.
02:51And you are looking live at the jammed Phillips Arena in downtown.
02:55WWE Universe is ready for the one-time-a-year pay-per-view known as Hell in a Cell.
03:01And there is the devilish structure known as Hell in a Cell.
03:10Where later tonight, CM Punk, the reigning WWE Champion for 343 days,
03:16will defend his title against the undefeated and seemingly unstoppable Ryback.
03:31The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
03:34Let me first introduce Alberto Del Rio's personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez.
03:47I want you gentlemen to check out the car that Alberto Del Rio drove to the Phillips Arena today.
03:52It is a 2012 Fisker Hybrid, 490 horsepower, worth $120,000.
04:00I want you to try to get his own ring announcer.
04:01Who wouldn't want to be Alberto Del Rio?
04:02Who wouldn't want to be Alberto Del Rio?
04:03Who wouldn't want to be Alberto Del Rio?
04:07Altium Navy.
04:08Thank you, ladies and ladies.
04:10Put up.
04:11Let me firstã, let me outreach him.
04:13Goodì° Jones-'s ìê² guerrero Mexicano.
04:14Thank you, gentlemen.
04:15You are one of my farmers, here at all in the女's tact.
04:16His welcome to college, are you here at the altar,
04:17our
04:35You got to admit, he puts in one heck of an effort introducing his boss, Alberto Del Rio.
04:41Welcome to Ringside, ladies and gentlemen.
04:43I'm Michael Cole, joined by, well, the legendary John Bradshaw-Layfield to my right,
04:48and the Hall of Famer Jim Ross to my left, and you were going to say...
04:51Who couldn't love this guy? You got to love Ricardo.
04:54He's got his own ring announcer.
04:55Michael, how great is Alberto Del Rio?
04:58Comes from the greatest wrestling family in all of Mexico.
05:01That pretty well covers it.
05:02It would be Alberto has his own ring announcer, not Ricardo.
05:06That's what I said, Alberto.
05:07Quit correcting me, Michael, or we are not going to get along well out here.
05:10Well, this match here tonight has gotten extremely personal, JR.
05:13It began on the night that Randy Orton met Big Show to determine the number one contender
05:18for the World Heavyweight Championship.
05:20And Randy Orton had a rough night, obviously, with the Big Show, as everyone does.
05:24Then after the match was over, Alberto Del Rio seizing the moment to assault Randy Orton
05:30and attempt to injure Orton.
05:33And you see right here, Alberto Del Rio taking cheap shots and liberties with Randy Orton.
05:39But we all know the Apex Predator certainly would not take that situation lightly.
05:47And as John is also here in a moment, Randy Orton has something to say and do about the matter.
05:54And they're on SmackDown, the A-Show of the WWE.
05:58Alberto Del Rio mocking the Viper, but he forgets.
06:03The Viper strikes back.
06:06Randy Orton himself from a family of wrestlers, from a legendary family of Orton's in San Luis.
06:11All over Alberto Del Rio.
06:13Alberto Del Rio gets away, but what happens?
06:17Ricardo.
06:19RKO on the announce table.
06:23Goodbye, ring announcer.
06:24Hello, hell in the cell.
06:26We're about to have one heck of a fight, Michael.
06:29Well, despite what happened there, Del Rio still claims Orton is afraid of him.
06:34I have voices in my head.
06:37They come to me.
06:39They understand.
06:40They tell me.
06:42And he hits right to the left from St. Louis, Missouri.
06:45Weighing at 245 pounds, Randy Orton.
06:51Well, there is the WWE's Apex Predator until Alberto Del Rio proves otherwise.
07:00Randy Orton set to do battle tonight at Hell in a Cell.
07:05I'll join in as in ringside, of course, none other than the Spanish commentators,
07:09Carlos Cabrera and Marcelo Rodriguez.
07:12Hola.
07:12You know, there's a great article in WWE.com, J.R., that asks the question,
07:31has Randy Orton lost his edge?
07:34Del Rio seems to be one step ahead of the Viper.
07:37What do you think?
07:37Well, I think that Del Rio makes a pretty good point.
07:40Randy Orton has got to do something to, I don't want to say jumpstart himself,
07:45but we know what Randy Orton can do.
07:47Randy Orton, without gold, he looks almost naked.
07:50And seeing a man naked is not my idea of a great night.
07:53John, do you think Orton's lost his edge?
07:54You watch him every week on SmackDown.
07:56I don't know what J.R. is talking about Randy Orton being naked.
07:58Look, he's the youngest WWE champion ever.
08:00He's a nine-time WWE world champion.
08:04This man is somebody who has potential going out like crazy,
08:08and he has reached it.
08:10As far as losing his edge,
08:12we have got a heck of a fight shaping up here at Hell in a Cell,
08:15because no Randy Orton had,
08:17and Alberto Del Rio is on top of his game right now.
08:21Randy Orton, the classic pose that has been mocked by Del Rio as of late.
08:25Ricardo Rodriguez said that this matchup is going to resemble the Mexican flag here tonight,
08:38where the eagle, Del Rio, conquers the serpent, Randy Orton.
08:42So we kick things off with Del Rio and Orton.
08:46I'd like to join all those watching here live tonight at the Phillips Arena,
08:50also on pay-per-view across the United States and all over the world,
08:53and places like the United Kingdom and Sky Sports in Australia, Romania, Chile, Ecuador,
08:59and of course in Del Rio's home country of Mexico.
09:02And certainly Randy Orton getting off to a very fast start,
09:05and getting off to a fast start is so important in these high-stakes matchups
09:09between two upper-level superstars.
09:12And Randy Orton.
09:17And don't forget American Forces Network, Michael.
09:21Yes, big shout-out to all the men and women serving up across the world
09:27and on our ships at sea as Randy Orton takes it to Alberto Del Rio.
09:32Nice of Randy to have placed your hat back on the announce table.
09:35Hey, I'll tag team with his father, the Hall of Famer, cowboy Bob Orton in Japan.
09:40I'll go play back with the Orton family.
09:43Nice of them to take care of my hat.
09:44Nice of also armed forces around the world getting to watch one heck of a fight.
09:48For Randy Orton, this again, as he said Friday night on SmackDown,
09:54Del Rio picked the wrong guy to make an example of.
09:57He said he's going to be honest,
09:58and that he's going to give Del Rio the most brutal beating of his life here tonight.
10:02Orton picking off body parts here in the early going,
10:04ankles, shoulders, the head, and now more strikes
10:07right into the solar plexus of Alberto Del Rio.
10:11Orton came highly motivated tonight.
10:14Indeed he did.
10:15I mean, he's been mocked and humiliated by Del Rio,
10:18let alone the stink attack we showed you a little bit earlier on
10:20from a number of weeks ago.
10:22And Randy's got to be careful.
10:23He's not disqualified here in the early going.
10:28Interesting.
10:29Look at Ricardo Rodriguez.
10:30That's what Randy's got to watch out for.
10:32Randy knows that Rodriguez can be a huge distraction.
10:36Yeah, of course, Del Rio is softening up the left shoulder
10:46of Randy Orton for the cross arm breaker
10:49that many believe may be the most dangerous submission maneuver
10:51in WWE today.
10:53It's hard to argue that it isn't, quite frankly,
10:55because it can be applied to anyone.
10:57It can debilitate somebody.
10:58Now look at this.
10:59Right on the arm.
11:00That's exactly what Del Rio's doing.
11:02Nothing random about this act.
11:04And Del Rio continuing to work on Randy.
11:09Randy Orton has had a history of shoulder problems over the years
11:13in WWE.
11:14Very well documented, and Del Rio knows that.
11:20Del Rio has the advantage with all his amateur training.
11:23Randy Orton, certainly an amazing catch-as-catch-can specialist.
11:27As John mentioned, he's won so many championships.
11:30But quite frankly, Alberto Del Rio is a better amateur-skilled wrestler
11:35than is Randy Orton, in my opinion.
11:36Alberto Del Rio, Pan-American gold champion, would have gone to the Olympics.
11:39In Australia, Mexico would have had the money to send him.
11:42And Randy Orton, a teen off on Del Rio, but again, goes to the arm.
11:46Del Rio's got a five here.
11:47You've got to love this.
11:48He's got a five count before he has to break.
11:50Or he's going to be disqualified before he brings four or five.
11:52Brilliant.
11:53A lot of damage done from one to that four count.
11:56And again, Orton's left arm being the target of the offensive attack
12:02of Alberto Del Rio.
12:03You know, John, I want to pose you this question from SmackDown
12:06this past Friday night.
12:07Is Del Rio in Orton's head?
12:08Orton was so wrapped up with Del Rio this past week,
12:11he was attacked from behind by Wade Barrett,
12:15who had cut some sort of deal with Del Rio.
12:17And Wade Barrett knocks out Randy Orton.
12:20Yes, I believe that Alberto Del Rio's gotten in Randy Orton's head.
12:23How could he not?
12:24This is about alpha males.
12:25This is about my family is better than yours.
12:28This is about Alberto Del Rio coming from a Hall of Fame background
12:31against Randy Orton, who comes from a Hall of Fame father.
12:35This is alpha male, my role.
12:37And Del Rio continues the assault into the cover.
12:40Look how he wraps the arm and shoulder and a kick out by Orton.
12:42J.R., interesting poll on WWE.com.
12:45The majority of superstars pulled in the locker room about this match
12:49said that they believe Del Rio's going to win here tonight.
12:52Are you surprised?
12:52I'm not really surprised because Del Rio's going to roll
12:55Orton is, as JBL said, I think he has gotten in Randy Orton's head a little bit.
13:00And Orton, you know, Orton has sometimes been termed as not being the most mentally balanced individual.
13:06Very competitive, but he has a short fuse, and that can cause you to make some mistakes.
13:11You make one mistake against Del Rio, you lose.
13:15And again, Del Rio continues the pressure in Randy Orton trying to fight out of this, but has the damage been done?
13:20Well, you know, his father, J.R., just like I do.
13:22Yep.
13:22His father, Ace Cowboy, had a short fuse, and he became a Hall of Fame.
13:25Randy Orton looking to steal one here.
13:27Shoulders down, roll up, and a kick out at two by Del Rio.
13:30You can take it any way you can get it at this point as Del Rio goes right back to work on the arm.
13:34There we go.
13:34That was a beautiful maneuver by Del Rio.
13:36Again, cover, hooks the leg, Orton it, Orton it two.
13:39Arm bar takedown, again, putting all that torque and that pressure on the arm that's injured.
13:45And we can only guess how badly the arm, the left arm of Randy Orton is injured.
13:49Del Rio has been seen, he never, since he believed Randy Orton took his spot.
13:54But how do you like Michael, how focused on Berkel Del Rio is?
13:56He comes into this match, he doesn't let it get into his head that he's got to beat up Randy Orton.
14:00He goes after the strength, and that is Randy Orton's left shoulder.
14:03And again, the point I was trying to make is that Del Rio's been upset because he believed
14:07he should have been in the number one contender match, not Randy Orton against Big Show.
14:12How can you argue that?
14:13These two guys, I'm telling you, these two guys, this is a matter of alpha males.
14:17This is bigger than Hell of Cell.
14:18This is bigger than a wrestling match.
14:19This is something that's been brewing since they've been kids, and
14:22since they've been in the WWE together.
14:27Randy Orton desperately needs to create separation.
14:30Did you say it's bigger than Hell in the Cell there, Mr. Gretchen?
14:34Almost.
14:35Yes, I'm saying it's bigger than this match.
14:38Interesting.
14:39This isn't just a fight where you show up and say, we're gonna have a fight.
14:42Look what you're going up for these guys.
14:43And again, Del Rio, using the entire five count,
14:48provided by the referee here, and he breaks at three, but Del Rio was tossed off by Orton.
14:53I believe that was the defensive move by Randy.
14:57Nice move by Orton, perhaps out of desperation.
14:59But again, what collateral damage has Del Rio inflicted on Randy Orton?
15:04And I thought Orton was gonna tap, but he reached out for the rope, but look at Del Rio.
15:18Taking the full four count, that's what you do.
15:20And again, John, how well does Del Rio know Orton?
15:22Orton was going for that power slam that he usually uses there, and Del Rio had it scouted.
15:27And there's the backbreaker.
15:29Inverted backbreaker by Orton is a difference maker.
15:31And now Orton's either bought some time, or he might get the pin.
15:33And to the cover this time, hooks the leg of Del Rio, got a note, two and a half.
15:40Del Rio's a two-time WWE champion.
15:42He's won the Royal Rumble, he's won Money in the Bank.
15:46Had one of the greatest first years on record in WWE history.
15:47You're exactly right.
15:48And in 2011, the Royal Rumble you're talking about, the biggest Royal Rumble in history.
15:53With 40 men, Del Rio wins it.
16:13And Orton's setting up Del Rio.
16:15Del Rio felt another great counter by Michael Del Rio.
16:19And not just a great counter, but you see how he hung up Orton on the top.
16:22Unlock Orton on the top rope with a bad shoulder.
16:24Unlock Orton on the top rope with a bad shoulder.
16:28Look at Rodriguez.
16:31It would be a good idea to stay focused here.
16:33And now Del Rio taunting, mocking Randy Orton.
16:37I love it.
16:38I love it.
16:39Alberto Del Rio's feeling it.
16:41Del Rio is gonna go for the RKO.
16:47That's Orton's finishing maneuver.
16:48And Randy Orton sends Del Rio on the apron.
16:51Oh!
16:52Thank you, Jordan!
16:53DDT!
16:54And that thing up DDT is absolutely wicked.
17:00And Randy Orton is going to that place where Randy Orton hears voices in his head.
17:08He's got one arm, Michael.
17:10But can he feed off?
17:11Oh, look at this.
17:12Randy Orton went down where he pounds the mat and looked like he felt it through his injured
17:17left arm.
17:18Went for the RKO!
17:19Backstabber by Del Rio.
17:20Into the cover.
17:21This could be it.
17:22Hook of the leg.
17:23Orton's shoulders down.
17:24And a two.
17:25And it was Orton's right shoulder that came up.
17:26And looks, look here.
17:27The attempt of the RKO by Alberto Del Rio.
17:30And then Orton strikes back quickly.
17:31Boom!
17:32An amazing definitive counter.
17:33Yeah, but Randy just can't build enough momentum for a sustained offense.
17:36Del Rio continued on the attack.
17:38Alberto Del Rio came out with a very simple game plan.
17:53He's gonna find the weak arm.
17:54Oh, no!
17:55There's the power slam.
17:56What a great counter.
17:59That's what Orton went for earlier.
18:00This time, hopes to pick up the win off the power slam at Del Rio.
18:04It's obvious that Orton is in pain.
18:07Where he sucked right with that left arm.
18:09He couldn't finish the pinning combination there after the power slam.
18:14And all because of the punishment by Del Rio to the shoulder throughout this matchup.
18:18Now you're starting to see the vicious streak that Randy Orton possesses.
18:24Nine-time world champion Randy Orton.
18:28Third generation.
18:34Third generation.
18:37Against the son of one of the greatest Mexican heavyweights of all time.
18:40The nephew of probably the greatest Mexican heavyweight of all time, Mil Mascos.
18:44Of course, Dos Caros, Del Rio's father.
18:46And don't forget Sacadelico, his other uncle.
18:49Three of the great brothers in Mexican history.
18:51Randy Orton somehow hanging on.
18:57Man, Orton saved himself there by hanging on.
18:59Doesn't look good.
19:00Yeah, he's in deep, deep trouble here.
19:02Del Rio, man.
19:03Oh, man.
19:05Del Rio shows no mercy on Randy Orton.
19:09And the Viper, he may be down and out.
19:12And Orton at two.
19:14Rodriguez wanted a three count, so did Del Rio.
19:18That was on pure instinct that Orton kicked out there.
19:20There's a lot more hurdle Randy Orton right now than his left shoulder.
19:25A 250-pound man come off the top rope right through his ribs, and Orton somehow kicked out.
19:29And maybe frustration beginning to build for Del Rio.
19:31Yeah, but has Randy Orton got anything left, Michael?
19:34This is a beatdown of epic proportions by Alberto Del Rio.
19:38He showed moments ago, he does.
19:39He showed moments ago why he's a nine-time world champion.
19:42I'll take nothing away from Randy Orton.
19:44But this has been almost all Alberto Del Rio.
19:47Del Rio, who doesn't often go to the top rope, but gonna go there again.
19:52And perhaps that's the reason why.
19:54No idea.
19:55Perhaps he's afraid of heights.
19:56You're trying to stop it.
19:58Alberto Del Rio's trying something that was out of his game plan.
20:02And I think he realized that, John.
20:04Huge, huge mistake by Alberto Del Rio.
20:06And it couldn't cost Del Rio.
20:09Randy Orton is stalking his prey.
20:13Orton goes for the RKO again.
20:15Del Rio counters.
20:17And again, well, looked like he was trying to send the shoulder to the post,
20:21and Randy Orton able to counter.
20:23Rodriguez, though, to the injured arm.
20:28And now Del Rio again in the ball.
20:30It's heartbreaker.
20:31Right in the middle of the ring.
20:32Submission maneuvering.
20:33Look at Orton.
20:34Right in the middle of the ring.
20:36Look what Orton's doing with both hands here, JR.
20:38Orton is making sure he's not tamping.
20:43But this may be not the greatest move of Randy Orton.
20:46Yeah.
20:47I want to let him fight another day.
20:48Yeah, but he's trying to survive here.
20:49Del Rio trying to separate the two hands of Orton.
20:52Perhaps trying to alleviate pressure.
20:54He's got him in deep.
20:55Yeah.
20:56It's in deep.
20:57And is Orton gonna tap?
20:58Is Orton gonna tap?
20:59He's gotta tap.
21:00He's in the middle of the ring.
21:01Randy Orton with nowhere to go.
21:03Del Rio ripping and tearing at the elbow of Randy Orton trying to hyperextend it.
21:07And then Randy Orton.
21:08Randy Orton, shoulders are down.
21:10And Del Rio at two almost got caught.
21:13And Del Rio forced to break his own finishing maneuver or suffer a three can.
21:18And Del Rio went with a big kick in by RKO.
21:21Unbelievable move.
21:22He has it.
21:23He has it.
21:24Unbelievable move by Orton.
21:27And Orton wins.
21:28Orton able to hit the left with him right on.
21:33The finish deal.
21:34Three, two.
21:37What a great way to start off Hell in a Cell, Michael.
21:40What a fight we just saw by two great champions.
21:44Del Rio went for that patented enziguri where he climbs to the top rope and hits the guy in the back of the head.
21:49Orton saw it coming.
21:50He ducked it into the RKO.
21:51One of the most unbelievable counters that I've ever seen.
21:54Randy Orton is everything you want in a professional wrestler.
21:58Unbelievable.
21:59Very instinctive, very talented, and unpredictable is Randy Orton with a big time victory here tonight at Hell in a Cell.
22:06That was impressive, Michael.
22:08What a fight.
22:09I'd love to see that again.
22:12We said at the top of the matchup that there were critics that claimed Orton may have lost his edge.
22:18I don't think so.
22:19Well, I thought it was great strategy by Alberto Del Rio to focus on the left arm of Randy Orton the entire contest.
22:27Alberto Del Rio had a strategy, stayed with that strategy.
22:33And there it is.
22:35Del Rio missing with a kick right into the RKO.
22:38An unbelievable counter by Randy Orton.
22:40Alberto Del Rio lost momentum when he went to the top rope inexplicably during the middle of the match.
22:45He took himself out of this game plan.
22:46Randy Orton capitalized on it.
22:48I would agree with that.
22:49I think it's fair to say that that man right there, Randy Orton, is still WWE's apex predator.
22:58You guys ever live up to their potential.
23:01Randy Orton is one of those few.
23:03What a wonderful champion.
23:05Well, ladies and gentlemen, it has simply become known as the AJ scandal.
23:13Dominating the news and social media all week long.
23:16Miss Lee resigning as law general manager this past Monday night through the allegations of, well, an inappropriate relationship with John Cena.
23:24Of course, Vickie Guerrero was appointed managing supervisor.
23:28She's had a Twitter war with John Cena all week.
