00:00With the Human Wrecking Ball, Ryback.
00:07Some men hunger for change.
00:11CM Punk is WWE Champion!
00:14This is the new face of the WWE.
00:17Some men hunger for glory.
00:19This title is where it belongs.
00:22A championship has held for 282.
00:26Over 300.
00:27300.
00:2737 days.
00:29And counting.
00:30Some men hunger for respect.
00:33I am the best in the world.
00:36And I command respect.
00:40But some men...
00:41Some men hunger for glory.
00:45CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
00:57CM Punk! CM Punk!
00:59CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
01:29has still shunned the WWE Champion!
01:33I am the best in the world, not Ryback.
01:39And I promise that I will walk out of hell in a cell
01:43still your WWE Champion.
01:47There he is, Ryback!
01:50And CM Punk tried to run away.
01:52Lumberjack sent him back into the ring.
01:59CM Punk's trying to retreat.
02:02Nowhere to go.
02:04Much like Sunday inside the cell, there'll be nowhere to go.
02:07Oh my God!
02:08Wow!
02:12Ryback is feasting on the WWE Champion!
02:16What's gonna be the last of CM Punk inside hell in a cell?
02:21Punk tried to run tonight, but there's no running Sunday.
02:25He'll be locked inside hell in a cell with a monster Ryback!
02:303!
02:313!
02:324!
02:40And there is the prison.
02:42The infrastructure which will surround the ring, keeping our two combatants inside.
02:47The cell was introduced 15 years ago this month.
02:50And this match has changed men.
02:53It has cut short careers, and in turn, has made legends.
02:59not seeing a new album.
03:01Not seeing a new album.
03:02That day is the chacun one has made bikini tight.
03:05Not seeing a new album.
03:06No…
03:07No…
03:08No…
03:09No…
03:10No.
03:11No.
03:12Oh no…
03:13Not seeing a new album.
03:14No.
03:15I was just standing here.
03:16So let's hear you.
03:17I was just standing here.
03:18I was standing here.
03:20Look at the mass.
03:22Look at the mass.
03:23What do you see?
03:25WWE Champion CM Punk has held the championship 343 days.
03:40The 10th longest streak in history.
03:42Just two weeks and a day away from passing Diesel.
03:45And becoming the number nine reign of all time.
03:52JR CM Punk over this reign has won just about every match imaginable.
03:57But he's never won Inside Hell in a Cell.
04:00He never has, but you know, I did some research on that.
04:03There's a lot of guys that you would think had to put more in the Hell in a Cell.
04:07That's one that comes to mind, the Stone Cold Steve Austin had a pretty amazing career here.
04:12A Hall of Fame career, never won Inside Hell in a Cell.
04:15The Cell itself seemingly has a personality of its own.
04:19A lot of rumors flying around, John, that CM Punk is scared of getting into the cell with this man Ryback.
04:25Despite the fact that he promised he'd walk out WWE Champion.
04:29Do you think Punk's scared?
04:31Do you think he's intimidated?
04:32Absolutely not.
04:33343 days, this champion says you're not scared of anything.
04:38But you have to understand, the very first Hell in a Cell for CM Punk was in 0-9 against The Undertaker.
04:43This is the first time a championship had changed hands.
04:46I think CM Punk learned what you have to do with Hell in a Cell for that.
04:51Well, I have to disagree with you, John, because we've seen Heyman tonight lobbying on Punk's behalf to get this match canceled.
04:58I mean, it seems to me that Punk is very anxious, very apprehensive to be in this environment.
05:03I guess an animal, a 300-pound animal that's never been eaten by the name of a Ryback.
05:08Yeah, but is it the cage, JR, or is it Ryback?
05:13I think it could be some of both.
05:14There's gotta be apprehension.
05:16Once you've been in this structure, you have to not want to get back in it.
05:19But did you notice the hug between Punk and Heyman?
05:23It almost looked like a farewell.
05:25Mick Foley never really recovered from his first match at Hell in a Cell.
05:29And speaking of Mick Foley, great interview with him at WWE.com, where he gives advice to both men in the cell tonight.
05:35His advice to CM Punk win this match, define your legacy, right here, right now, tonight.
05:41Tim White, the referee, never came back from refereeing a Hell in a Cell match.
05:47That's how dangerous this structure is.
05:50June 28th, 1998, I'll never forget that night.
05:54Nick Foley, Mankind vs. The Undertaker, in this very cell.
05:59Here we go!
06:08What a week it's been for Ryback.
06:24Back on Raw on Monday night, he defeated a former WWE Champion, The Miz.
06:30On main event Wednesday night, Ryback defeated a former World Champion, Dolph Ziggler.
06:36We saw him manhandle CM Punk last week as we went off the air on Monday Night Raw.
06:41But this is his first title match.
06:42It's Ryback's first Hell in a Cell match.
06:45Is there pressure?
06:46Well, absolutely there's pressure, but there's also precedent.
06:49I know that Triple X had his first Hell in a Cell matchup.
06:52It was a huge victory.
06:54Shawn Michaels, first time in a Cell.
06:56Against The Undertaker, Quincy, yes, commercially.
06:59Batista, the last one.
07:02Ryback's got confidence.
07:03I think Ryback is different from all those men.
07:06Punk was conferring with Paul Heyman moments ago.
07:09He's finally turned around to look at the monster he will face here tonight with his WWE title on the line.
07:20Ladies and gentlemen, this contest set for one fall is for the WWE Championship and will be contested inside Hell in a Cell.
07:34of the WWE Championship and will be contested inside Hell in a Cell.
07:38We introduce him first.
07:39We are accompanied by Paul Heyman from Chicago, Illinois, weighing 218 pounds.
07:43He is the current WWE Champion, CN Punk.
07:54And the challenger, from Sin City, weighing 291 pounds,
08:18Ryback!
08:19The rules of the Hell in a Cell match.
08:26You can only win via pinfall or submission.
08:29The fall can take place anywhere.
08:35This is the 26th Hell in a Cell match and the first since perhaps the greatest one ever
08:41at WrestleMania this past year between Triple H and The Undertaker
08:45as the combatants are not locked inside.
08:47What do you have, though, Michael, when that cage is locked?
08:50All right, look at that padlock, the chain.
08:52Two men are locked inside.
08:55The match was in by pinfall or submission.
08:59Yeah, and I'm not sure one's a full man.
09:01I'm not sure that Ryback is getting part animal.
09:03What a beast this guy is.
09:05We are underway, and CM Punk is going to buy himself a little bit of time here.
09:11Ryback has never lost the WWE title.
09:14What is at stake?
09:17But talking about first, JR, Ryback's never been in a championship match.
09:21Ryback's never been in a cage match.
09:22Ryback's certainly never been in Hell in a Cell.
09:25This is sink or swim for this beast.
09:30It's CM Punk again buying time.
09:31You know, one of the things that Mick Foley said when offering advice to Ryback,
09:35and Mick's been in a number of the eases.
09:37I believe in you.
09:38I believe in you.
09:40You are the best in the world.
09:42Is the fact that Will Ryback, will he have the stamina to compete in this matchup
09:48if it continues to go at great length?
09:51I mean, fatigue can make us all cowards, in Mick Foley's words.
09:54And Ryback, you know, he hasn't been involved in many long matchups.
09:57Interesting point, good point by Mick Foley.
10:01He doesn't have to be, Michael.
10:02He's destroyed everybody.
10:04We talk about Ziggurat and you talk about Miz, two great former WWE champions.
10:07Ryback walked through him in the past week.
10:10And Punk.
10:11Look at this.
10:12Look at this.
10:12The man that's undefeated doesn't work by the hour, gentlemen.
10:18And Ryback, the strength and power of the monster.
10:23Ryback's eyes say he has destructive intentions and a kick right to the sternum of the champion.
10:30Oh, this could be, this could be a short work for Ryback of the WWE champion.
10:36Ryback's in a zone.
10:39Punk getting ragdolled by the challenger for the WWE championship.
10:45And Punk, oh man, collision with a turnbuckle.
10:50Talk about annihilating anatomies.
10:53Punk's 343rd day as champion could be his worst.
10:57He's stuck with Ryback in hell in a cell.
10:59Yeah, but CM Punk the better.
11:01There's a reason he's held the title for 343 days.
11:04And oh, just tossed away by Ryback.
11:09And the man Heyman has dumped the Punk-eating carnivore is in control.
11:14Paul Heyman, rightfully so, doesn't like what he's seeing here.
11:22The physical dissection of the WWE champion.
11:26I'm coming pressed with Ryback's pieces.
11:28And Punk can't get out.
11:29Desperately trying to rip open that door, but it's a padlock shot.
11:32Nowhere to go.
11:34Face the music.
11:35And again, you can use the sound as a weapon as Ryback's doing there.
11:38Using the steel to his advantage.
11:43And again, tossing Punk around.
11:48This is what Ryback has to do to become champion.
11:51He's fearless.
11:52He's merciless.
11:53This is this leviathan Ryback.
11:59And CM Punk looking at some of them.
12:01Just a tied runaway.
12:04He's a human being, to cry out loud.
12:10He's a human being.
12:11He's a champion.
12:12He's the best in the world.
12:13Jesus Christ.
12:19Oh, he saw Punk swarm.
12:21Oh, look at this.
12:21Fire extinguisher.
12:22Heyman pays dividends.
12:24He distracted Ryback enough to allow Punk to take advantage.
12:28Ryback's temporarily blinded.
12:30Now CM Punk on the attack.
12:32And this is where Punk's dangerous.
12:37How great is Paul Heyman outside the cage and still making an impact?
12:43That's the constant area of CM Punk, Paul Heyman.
12:46Accurate knees right to the ribs, the torso of Ryback.
12:54And all this fire extinguisher.
12:55Steel chair completely legal.
12:57There are no disqualifications in a Hell in a Cell match.
13:00And Ryback, the chair bouncing off the skull of Punk.
13:10Punk just ate the steel chair, kicked into his face.
13:13There's no disqualification.
13:15This is what Ryback needs to do.
13:16Look at the power to unleash himself.
13:18Look at the power to unleash himself.
13:19The ferocity.
13:28And again, this beast Ryback, manhandling the champion.
13:34Ryback is a merciless emissary of pain, this Ryback.
13:43And why can't he turn off the skull?
13:46And now Ryback, and CM Punk using his quickness and his veteran instincts to duck out of the way.
13:52And may have found an opening.
13:55But how can you keep Ryback down?
13:57That's what Punk has to try to solve here.
14:00How do you get him down, Michael?
14:02Like, that's how you do it.
14:03Off the top.
14:05And CM Punk.
14:08You hear him and screaming, stay on him, stay on him.
14:12He's telling the champion.
14:15CM Punk has no choice.
14:17The door's locked.
14:20Punk.
14:21Again, glancing blow to the skull of Ryback.
14:24I'm sure it was a glancing blow.
14:26I think he hit him.
14:27And now Punk again, heading up to the top rope.
14:29Looking to perhaps take out Ryback from his vantage point.
14:33Right now, and Ryback down to one knee.
14:36Those balls off the top will take a normal man down and maybe even beat him.
14:42Punk going for a third time for the top rope.
14:46And he's caught by Ryback.
14:47And just like that, the monster's turning things around.
14:54Oh, and Punk caught it.
14:55He'll kick to the face.
14:59Ryback caught a 218-pound man like it was nothing.
15:02And the problem is, Punk may not be able to capitalize.
15:05Watch this.
15:06Watch the power.
15:07It's impressive.
15:08And then driving to Punk.
15:10And Punk pulling out all the stops.
15:17But Ryback is still on his feet.
15:19Punk went through the second rope.
15:20He hit the cell.
15:21Ryback never went down.
15:23The cell is standing.
15:24He's the best in the world.
15:24And so was Ryback.
15:26Keep the pressure.
15:30What does Punk need to do?
15:32Perhaps the Equalizer will help.
15:34Steel steps.
15:35Neckbreaker outside the ring.
15:40Even if that's screaming or was when was it going.
15:42The marks all over Punk.
15:43Look at the marks all over Punk in that cage.
15:45Yeah, and on that neckbreaker, Ryback is right back to his feet.
15:48But he's been stunned a bit.
15:49Punk again with the Equalizer.
15:53Steel chair.
15:59The new Punk would have a plan somehow.
16:03Punk has won.
16:05Strength, power.
16:07How do you defend it?
16:09Punk went for the neckbreaker again.
16:10And Ryback.
16:15And Punk trying to swarm out of harm's way.
16:18And Ryback, shoulder first to the steps.
16:20This could be the opening.
16:22This could be the opening Punk needs.
16:26Dodge the cannon.
16:28Paul Heyman is going insane at ringside.
16:31Screaming at Punk to take advantage.
16:32There's no count outs, Michael.
16:34You got to pull it.
16:34There's nobody like you.
16:36Capitalize.
16:38Capitalize.
16:39Watch this.
16:40No damage champion for now.
16:43And remember, no count outs, no disqualifications.
16:46Ryback rolling back in the ring.
16:48Out there for more than a ten count, but that's irrelevant.
16:50In Hell in a Cell.
16:52Yeah.
16:53Now what's Punk going to attempt to do?
16:57Oh, my.
17:01And Ryback trying to power up out of this, and he does.
17:05CM Punk finds himself in some trouble.
17:08And Ryback makes it pay.
17:10Ryback is powering out of everything CM Punk does.
17:14These aren't scientific encounters, these are just brute strength.
17:19Survival of the fittest, and again, Punk, using his quickness.
17:24Well, the ring post is now intimidated by the undefeated Ryback.
17:26No, not at all, Ryback running shoulder first.
17:29That coming off him, going shoulder first into the steel steps.
17:33He's still alive!
17:36A sick smile, sinister smile on the face of Punk.
17:39And CM Punk is vintage there, the high running knee.
17:43And CM Punk follows it up with a clothesline.
17:45And you suddenly feel the confidence may be building for the champion.
17:49343 days as champion, Mago.
17:52He's one of the greatest champions that WWE has ever seen.
17:54There's a reason for it.
17:55Big chance.
17:57CM Punk's taking a risk, I like it.
17:59That's what champions do in big matches.
18:03You said legends are made.
18:04CM Punk elbow to the heart of Ryback.
18:07Come on!
18:11CM Punk hoping to define his legacy tonight.
18:15Ryback is down.
18:17Ryback may be hurt.
18:19CM Punk braves respect.
18:20I think he deserves it.
18:22He beats Ryback tonight.
18:23He'll certainly get it.
18:24Kendall stick for Punk.
18:25We've never seen Ryback in this position before.
18:28How will the number one contender respond?
18:30Will he be able to respond?
18:32The records are legal.
18:35That's single 4K, the Kendall stick.
18:38And now, Punk was mocking the Feed Me More chant that Ryback engages in.
18:44And now unloading on the monster.
18:45Look at that, look at the shape that that kendo stick is in.
18:52As Punk continues to beat on Ryback, and look at Ryback.
18:55He's feeding off the feet.
18:56You're just making it mad.
18:57Hit by a kendo stick?
19:03That is absolute fear that you just saw in the eyes of Punk.
19:06Ooh, wow.
19:13And here comes Ryback.
19:14Whoa, what a back body drop.
19:21The WWE Champion is in the deep water now.
19:24See, Punk has had an incredible title reign, but it may end at 343 days.
19:31I think Hammond agrees with you.
19:32Here comes the meat hook.
19:37What Ryback calls his clothesline.
19:39And there it is!
19:45And that'll set up Ryback for Shellshock.
19:55It seems as if winning the WWE title is academic.
20:00Ryback.
20:01Punk is the official.
20:02With Punk up, Shellshock tied.
20:04Ryback marches around the ring.
20:06About to have a new champion, Nigel.
20:08What the?
20:13What the?
20:14What the?
20:15What the?
20:16What the hell just happened?
20:19Wait a minute.
20:20Hold on, wait a minute.
20:21Wait a minute.
20:25The referee.
20:30Let's see now.
20:39We're out of here.
20:40What do you mean?
20:43We're out of here.
20:44We're out of here.
20:51I think they dropped the key.
20:56I think they dropped the key.
20:58And here comes Ryback, the monster who just took out the ref and low blowed him.
21:06And the best, Kevin Ryback.
21:08And now an assault on the champion.
21:12Ryback has lost it.
21:14I've never seen anything like that in 20 years of wrestling, Michael.
21:17Can you blame the man?
21:19No, absolutely not.
21:20I mean, I don't know what happened here, but whatever it was, it's not right.
21:30And there's the referee.
21:32The referee with a low blow, the fast count.
21:38And now he's paying for it.
21:39The referee with a low blow, Jeremy.
21:41Can you believe you're even saying that?
21:43What in the world just happened?
21:46I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen here.
21:47I've never seen anything like this in my life.
21:49And a WWE title match.
21:53Oh, thank God.
21:55I don't blame Ryback.
21:58Ryback was gonna win the WWE title.
22:00Destroy this ref.
22:01I don't blame him.
22:02I don't think there's any doubt about it yet.
22:05This ref just robbed Ryback of a championship.
22:08Ryback had Punk up for Shellshock, and the referee low blow Ryback, allowing Punk to win.
22:14He delivered a quick count.
22:15And now Ryback total destruction.
22:19Oh, my God.
22:24Destroy him, Ryback.
22:26I don't blame him.
22:28And Heyman desperately trying to drag Punk out of the cell.
22:32And Ryback stalking the champion.
22:35Punk had to be in another state to be out of harm's way from Ryback after what just happened.
22:39Well, Heyman running away, and you blame him.
22:43Oh, CM Punk is about to pay for that sin.
22:52Look at Punk.
22:53Look at Punk trying to escape.
22:54Punk's trying to escape from Ryback.
22:57Punk's trying to climb to the top of that cell.
23:02Ryback's going after him.
23:04The cell 20 feet in the air, and Ryback, Ryback is going after Punk.
23:09God.
23:13This is absolutely incredible.
23:14Ryback has completely lost it.
23:16See it?
23:17Look at this.
23:18A 300-pound man, 20 feet in the air.
23:21See how Punk is.
23:22Look at this.
23:22Now where do you go?
23:23Now where do you run?
23:25Now where do you hide?
23:26Punk is trying to run away.
23:27He's trying to retreat, but Ryback's got the champion.
23:33What on earth is Ryback running through his head here?
23:37What a dangerous all these men are in.
23:40Are you kidding me?
23:41There's no way.
23:42No.
23:43Ryback.
23:43No, Ryback.
23:44Shellshock to Punk on top of the cell.
23:53Punk's body wrapped.
23:55The WWE Champion's body wrapped on top of the cell by Shellshock.
24:01And look who's standing.
24:04Look who's still hungry.
24:05Don't encourage him.
24:06Don't encourage him.
24:07Bedlam and Hell in a Cell.
24:11Ryback has completely lost it.
24:14The WWE Champion, Punk, is helpless.
24:25Well, first, the shocking conclusion.
24:29JR, you mentioned it.
24:31You've never seen anything like it.
24:32Ryback was gonna win the championship here.
24:34No doubt about it.
24:35The referee stopped it.
24:36And then on top of the cell, Ryback would deliver Shellshock to Punk.
24:51Punk survives with the WWE Championship.
24:55He's gonna hold it for at least 344 days.
24:57Punk promised he'd walk out as champ, and he did.
25:00But Ryback is living, and the WWE Champion paid at Hell in a Cell.
25:03Good night from Atlanta.
25:04Made in Georgia.
25:21Made in Georgia.
