00:00Are you guys ready for this battle?
00:10Two mammoths set to clash.
00:14I cannot wait to see what these two superstars bring to the tail.
00:17We saw that arm wrestling match last week on Monday Night.
00:19Well, we're gonna see it again here in a minute, so don't give it away, Renee.
00:22I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, my bad.
00:23Look at the physique on this man, the almighty Bobby Lashley.
00:28A certifiable badass here to prove supremacy over the monster tonight.
00:33Truly is fascinating, just looking at this, he's barely human at this point.
00:36Look at that body.
00:37Guys, a two time intercontinental champion, former United States champion,
00:41once held the ECW title, in fact, twice.
00:46Look at the body on this guy.
00:47Bobby Lashley's got the kind of physique that'll make you just give up going to the gym.
00:51You should never look this good.
00:52Bill Heath, who?
00:53Exactly.
00:58Good God.
01:02Like a work of art in motion.
01:06It looks like a standout, huh?
01:09You're absolutely right.
01:11A few more years from now, they may rename it to a Lashley.
01:13The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:18Introducing first, from Denver, Colorado, weighing it in 260 pounds,
01:24the almighty Bobby Lashley.
01:32So Renee was talking about the arm wrestling contest that we had this past
01:36Monday night on Raw, and it was between Bobby Lashley and his opponent tonight,
01:40the monster among men, Braun Strowman.
01:42I wasn't sure who I was gonna pick in this match, Corey, but it was pretty competitive.
01:46This was back and forth, Lashley and Strowman both nearly picking up the wins on multiple occasions
01:52before Strowman toppled Lashley, but it wasn't over.
01:55Yeah, Bobby Lashley was extremely upset.
01:58Now, much like here in Jenna tonight, well, not quite like this, but almost,
02:01it was very sweaty in the arena.
02:03They had used chalk, and Bobby Lashley would take advantage, throwing the chalk in the eyes of Braun Strowman,
02:08and Bobby Lashley sending a message using Strowman's own move, the running power slam against him.
02:14How impressive is that?
02:15Bobby Lashley able to hoist Braun Strowman up on his shoulder and deliver Strowman's own maneuver.
02:21I am curious to see what the Almighty has planned tonight.
02:25I wanna see what that did to the mindset of Braun Strowman.
02:28Can you imagine what's going through his head right now?
02:30I mean, if you're talking about people that can match Braun Strowman strength for strength,
02:36Bobby Lashley can do it.
02:37Plus, I would actually give the edge in the agility department to Bobby Lashley.
02:41This is gonna be interesting for sure.
02:51And his opponent, weighing in at 385 pounds, Braun Strowman!
03:09The monster among men.
03:13It's been really fascinating all week, but wait a minute, this is uncalled for.
03:16Yeah, screw the pageantry.
03:17No, that's Lashley's posing platform.
03:20He has to do some fighting.
03:23Look at this!
03:24He just destroyed the platform!
03:27Oh!
03:30Pretty incredible watching Braun Strowman interact with the fans here in Jedha for
03:34the past few days, just seeing a human being the size of Braun Strowman captures the imagination.
03:40The guy's like a superhero walking around the streets of Jedha.
03:44Well, I want you guys to check out the tale of the tape between these two mammoth men.
03:50Two absolute powerhouses.
03:53Strowman obviously with the edge as far as height goes.
03:56And weight.
03:57But comparable in every other department.
04:00Only a slight one inch difference in bicep size.
04:03Look at the bench press, incredibly impressive on both parts.
04:06And I'm going to tell you what I'm going to give the edge to Bobby Lashley.
04:09The fact he lives and trains in Denver, Colorado, living at a high altitude.
04:14The longer this matchup goes, the more it benefits Lashley and his cardiovascular condition.
04:19He's going to try to drag Braun into the deep water and see if Stroman can swim.
04:23Well, it's 100 degrees in ringside.
04:25It's like wrestling in a sauna here as well.
04:27What about the difference of the wingspan between Braun and Bobby though?
04:29I mean, you throw in haymakers like Braun, if you land one of those, that could rock Bobby Lashley.
04:34So, Stroman and Lashley one-on-one here tonight for the very first time at Super Showdown.
04:40Bobby Lashley says that Braun Strowman cost him an opportunity to wrestle for
04:44the Universal Championship when he wrestled him out of the arena.
04:48I can't forget that Lashley was one of the trio that put Braun Strowman on the shelf
04:53by shattering his elbow alongside Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre several months back.
04:57Look at the version of Braun Strowman we got when he returned healthy.
05:00This guy's in the best shape of his entire career.
05:02Again, it's 90 degrees outside here in Jeddah.
05:06A million in my dress.
05:07But it feels like 100 here down at ringside as Lashley and Strowman.
05:14Clash shoulder tackle does not budge Braun.
05:18You gotta wonder if this heat is gonna adversely affect these two behemoths.
05:22As I said, I think Lashley's general training regimen in the altitude of the Rocky
05:26Mountains could behoove him in this situation.
05:29Talk about the speed and the agility of Bobby Lashley's not gonna do much when
05:32you're running into a brick wall.
05:33You gotta do better than that!
05:35Strowman telling Lashley, you gotta do better than that!
05:37Here we go!
05:38Lashley wants the whole test of strength.
05:44Greco Roman knuckle lock.
05:47This is when that height of Braun Strowman could come into play.
05:51Yeah, but the power of Bobby Lashley.
05:53Do not sleep on Lashley.
05:55Kick right to the midsection.
05:57And Strowman's down to a knee!
05:59Down on one knee.
06:02If Lashley can fully extend his arms and really maximize his grip,
06:06Strowman could be in trouble.
06:07Just look at the grip strength of Strowman.
06:13Chains of the days of Bruno Sammartino.
06:15Whoa!
06:16Strowman lifting Lashley, and Strowman rolls through the agility.
06:20And there's some from Lashley as well!
06:22We're talking about Lashley's agility.
06:24Who knew what Strowman was capable of?
06:25My God!
06:26Strowman almost knocked Lashley out of his boots.
06:28And Braun splashing Lashley in the corner.
06:35Impressive closing speed of Strowman, but Lashley's still a little too quick.
06:40Whoa!
06:41He's got Strowman up the power of Lashley!
06:43Lashley, looking perhaps for that running power slam again.
06:47This could do it.
06:47But next, is it over?
06:49It's gotta be.
06:50By Lashley, on Strowman.
06:52Strowman has to power at a two and a half.
06:54It doesn't get any closer than that without the bell ringing.
06:57Now these two men could absolutely destroy the ring here tonight.
07:00How impressive is Lashley?
07:02Thank God it's already been reinforced for the 50-man battle royals still to come here tonight.
07:07But you're right, Renee, these two physical specimens doing battle,
07:10it's like something out of a Godzilla movie.
07:12Get off the rope, Lashley, come on.
07:15Lashley pulling out all the stops, understands that he's gotta do what he can
07:20to keep the Monster Among Men off his feet like he has him now.
07:29Lashley is intense as they come, not just power out of this man either.
07:34A tremendous amateur wrestling background, been a former champion as we mentioned.
07:40Bobby's been dead set on proving everybody just why he's so good.
07:44He's so great at this ever since he returned to WWE.
07:47He's been on a mission.
07:48Looking for legitimacy amongst competitors.
07:49You need not look any further than both of these superstars.
07:52Think of the incredible strongman career Braun Strowman had prior to stepping into a WWE ring.
07:57Talk about all of Lashley's wrestling accomplishments, his mixed martial arts background.
08:02I mean, these are two legitimate athletes doing battle right now.
08:05And Lashley is taking the fight to Braun.
08:08He just took a swat from Strowman and delivered a swat of his own.
08:12And he's got Strowman down in the middle of the ring.
08:14I don't know why you're surprised.
08:15We've been saying it for months.
08:16Lashley is a certifiable badass.
08:18And I think right now even Strowman would agree.
08:20I cannot remember the last time we've seen Strowman in this dire straits.
08:25I don't know that we've seen a superstar that can match physical power with Braun Strowman in some time.
08:30Now in one on one competition, we've never seen Braun Strowman like this.
08:34Look at Lashley.
08:35This is smart.
08:36Lashley just putting all of his body weight on Braun, just wearing him down.
08:40And this actually allows Bobby a second to maybe minimize the amount of effort he's got to exert.
08:46Get his breath back.
08:47Get back into this fight.
08:48Keep himself fresher than Strowman.
08:50This could come down to who's got better endurance.
08:52And right now it's Bobby Lashley.
08:55Now Bobby looks like he's enjoying himself right now, keeping down the monster.
08:58Not for long though.
09:02Braun trying to fight back.
09:03Lashley again with a blow to the back of the neck.
09:06Bobby looking to pick up the pace, but a spine buster.
09:08And Bobby landed hard on his shoulder.
09:11Bobby landed hard.
09:15Strowman with a second to regain composure.
09:18Now the shoulder tackle and down goes Lashley.
09:21And this is what Lashley had to avoid.
09:23The monster building the momentum.
09:27And once again, here comes Braun.
09:30Like a freight train.
09:31Very wise move by Lashley, rolling to the outside.
09:37Man, that side starts to pick up momentum, starts to pick up speed.
09:40It's bad for whatever he runs into.
09:42No, no, Strowman, Strowman's calling for it.
09:47Bobby Lashley run over by the monster.
09:50And Strowman somehow-
09:53Strowman's going for round two.
09:54He's picking up speed.
09:56Here comes Strowman again.
10:00And down goes Lashley again.
10:02Six.
10:04You've got to be impressed with the cardiovascular conditioning of a person
10:08the size of Braun Strowman this deep into a matchup.
10:10And Strowman still coming forward strong.
10:13And no doubt about it, a splash in the corner to Lashley.
10:15And Strowman with a clubbing blow across the chest.
10:21Two gargantuan competitors still going at it.
10:31Jetta wants Bobby Lashley to get these hands.
10:34Uh-oh.
10:35Lashley hoisted up.
10:36Slay up by Strowman.
10:37Cover on Lashley.
10:39Hook of the leg, is it enough?
10:40And Lashley kicks out at two.
10:43Credit to the toughness of Bobby Lashley.
10:46Braun Strowman with a look of disbelief on his face.
10:49I don't know that anyone's kicked out of Braun's power slam.
10:52And a shoulder to the post.
10:57And now it's Strowman that's in trouble.
10:59That's the problem with that momentum and that speed of a man that large.
11:02You miss your target, you're gonna do damage to yourself.
11:04One.
11:06Lashley now realizes there's an opportunity at hand to catch his breath and
11:12strategize.
11:14And here comes Lashley with a new idea.
11:16Now it's Bobby Lashley's turn.
11:18Right into the barricade.
11:20Three.
11:21Lashley almost put Strowman through the barricade.
11:24Lashley so impressive tonight.
11:25Matching Braun Strowman, move for move.
11:29On the outside, if this connects, it could be lights out for Braun.
11:36My God.
11:38Does Lashley have the power left?
11:40Yes.
11:40My God, a suplex on the steel.
11:43You had any doubt if this match went long?
11:50If these two guys were still gonna have what it takes to pull off miraculous feats of strength?
11:55I think you just got your answer.
11:56Bobby Lashley, watch this suplex.
12:01It's incredible.
12:02385 pounds.
12:03Cover, cover by Bobby.
12:04Hooks the leg, is it enough to knock off the monster who kicks at it too.
12:08This deep into a matchup for Lashley to be able to muster that sort of strength is superhuman.
12:13And go back to the well for more.
12:15Big hammer fist.
12:17What is Bobby thinking about now?
12:21What's he thinking?
12:22Seems to be unfamiliar territory for Lashley, but-
12:26Again, we're lucky that this ring's already reinforced for that 50-man battle royal.
12:30Lashley up to the top rope.
12:33Braun Strowman gonna meet him there.
12:34Uh-oh.
12:35Now, Lashley flying.
12:38Lashley's own momentum stood him straight up.
12:40Straight down.
12:43Braun's not finished with you.
12:45He's about to be.
12:46Strowman again, running power slam.
12:49That's it.
12:50One, two.
12:52Braun Strowman with the win over a very game of Lashley.
12:56That was a hell of a match.
12:57Here's your winner, Braun Strowman.
13:02I don't care what sport you're talking, there's nothing quite like two super heavyweights colliding
13:08at the highest level, and that's what we just got.
13:11Respect to Bobby Lashley for bringing a big fight.
13:15And hats off to the monster for enduring and picking up the W.
13:19Bobby Lashley gave Braun Strowman a fight tonight.
13:25And Strowman nearly launched Lashley across the ring for his efforts.
13:30Lash landing for the almighty.
13:34Before Lashley could remember where he was.
13:38One power slam, and just for good measure, a second from the monster.
13:44One, two, three.
13:48Braun Strowman, the monster among men celebrates a hard fought victory over Lashley.
13:54Look at this man, this monster.
14:01Who wants a sweaty t-shirt?
14:03Not me.
14:04Not me.
14:05.
14:10.
14:18.
