00:01We all want to go big, then say that.
00:04Ho!
00:25The following contest is scheduled for World Fall.
00:29Introducing first, from Tampa, Florida, weighing in at 285 pounds,
00:34he is the WWE Champion, Big E!
00:42Corey, there is no doubt that Big E is probably the feel-good story of 2021.
00:49Big E is a friend of mine, Big E is our WWE Champion on Monday night,
00:55and I don't know that I have ever seen the focus in the eyes of Big E like I've seen today.
01:02And a busy week for Big E, he was in Las Vegas last night introducing Sean Porter and his retirement fights,
01:09and here tonight a big fight as well against Roman Reigns.
01:12And that's what happens when you're the WWE Champion.
01:16He wins the Money in the Bank ladder match, then cashes in, becomes the champ on top of the world.
01:22I hate to break it to him, though.
01:25Because there is another...
01:30...that swims in the same water as he does.
01:35The GOAT!
01:36The biggest boost of all time!
01:45The backbone of SmackDown!
01:48The GOAT!
02:01Ladies and gentlemen...
02:03...for a company to the ring by his special counsel, Paul Heyman,
02:08from Pensacola, Florida, weighing in at 265 pounds.
02:12He is the Universal Champion, Roman Reigns!
02:22Great intro!
02:23What were you saying?
02:25He was way early, but nonetheless, for 448 days, Roman Reigns has been Universal Champion.
02:35And in all of those games, not once, have I or anyone in the WWE Universe questioned the dominance of the Head of the Table.
02:52Until tonight!
02:54Because I will tell you this much, Roman Reigns doesn't make many mistakes,
02:58but injuring Kofi Kingston, humiliating King Woods, has lit a fire inside of Big E,
03:05the likes of which I don't know we've ever seen.
03:07And Roman Reigns may have other things on his mind tonight as well.
03:10We got the breaking news from Caleb Raxton a bit ago that,
03:14well, it sounds like the indefinite suspension of Brock Lesnar may most soon be lifted.
03:20And for Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar has been a serious issue and problem for him.
03:25The alpha male of our species, Brock Lesnar has been lurking for some time since his incredible return at SummerSlam.
03:34But if you look at the man that is standing next to Paul Heyman, he is still Tim.
03:40He is still the man running Friday nights.
03:43He is still-
03:44Wait, do you ever breathe McAfee? Good God, man!
03:46I heard Byron Saxton earlier, I don't think anybody can compare to that, but this man has been carrying WWE.
03:54It doesn't matter about Brock Lesnar's suspension.
03:56It does because it is a rumor, as far as we know.
04:03Listen to me. I want to thank both of you guys for illustrating my point perfectly.
04:08Because while the Yims are over there is yammering on ad nauseam about Roman Reigns,
04:13Cole, you're talking about Brock Lesnar. Do you know why Big E is motivated tonight?
04:17Because no one is giving Big E the respect he so rightfully deserves as WWE Champion.
04:24And if Roman Reigns overlooks Big E, it's gonna be a long night for the head of the table.
04:29Corey, what you don't understand is when you soar at the heights that Roman Reigns does,
04:46it's hard not to overlook every opponent.
04:50But all he does is walk into arenas the same way he walks out.
04:57The champ, the GOAT, the tribal chief, Roman.
05:02And Corey, you talk about Big E and people overlooking him as WWE Champion.
05:07Well, beat Roman Reigns tonight. Knock off the head of the table.
05:11And look at the focus in the eyes of the WWE Champion.
05:14That is exactly what Big E showed up at Parkways tonight for.
05:18I have the utmost respect for Big E.
05:22He is an incredible athlete.
05:26Incredibly powerful and strong.
05:29But here in Barclays Center, he's stepping into the ring with a GOAT.
05:34Universal Champion Roman Reigns from Friday Night SmackDown.
05:37The WWE Champion from Monday Night Raw.
05:40Big E clashing our main event in front of 15,120 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
05:48There we go.
05:49Could not be waiting.
05:55You hit it up.
05:57You hit it up.
05:58You hit it up.
05:59Roman has not forgotten the beat down from two nights ago by Big E and King Woods.
06:10The careers of these two athletes have paralleled one another to a start point.
06:16Both of these athletes began their days at FCW.
06:18That's how long Roman Reigns and Big E have been in this business together.
06:23They started very similarly.
06:26Roman's been at the top for a long time.
06:28Big E finally getting his opportunity to be on the Marti.
06:31The team.
06:39Feel out process.
06:42And here we go.
06:45Strength on strength here.
06:48Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
06:51Yeah, take a breather.
06:53That's smart.
06:55This is what the head of the table does, Corey.
06:58I think you should take a breather back.
07:00Good lord.
07:01Yokozuna.
07:02Whose tribe is this, my tribal chief?
07:05One, two.
07:08You should sit at the head of your table, my tribal chief.
07:11Three.
07:12You cannot let him go.
07:14Get your mind right.
07:16You better get your mind right for me.
07:18You better get your mind right for me.
07:20Move it, my tribal chief.
07:24Big E trying to get in the head of Roman Reigns.
07:26The special counsel Paul Heyman.
07:28Trying to pump Reigns up.
07:31Reminding Roman Reigns who he is.
07:34Maybe Big E does have the best of Roman heroes.
07:37That's my point.
07:38The fact that Paul Heyman has to remind Roman Reigns
07:41in the opening moments of this match-up
07:43who Roman Reigns is, that bodes well for Big E.
07:47Race lock by Big E.
07:49Separation created by Reigns.
07:50A couple of elbows and now a right hand by Big E.
07:53And Roman Reigns are right as well.
07:55And the two champions exchanging blows.
07:58Roman exploding off the ropes quick cover now on Big E and a kick out.
08:04New, they rocked with the quickness from Roman Reigns.
08:09Now Roman unloading on Big E.
08:15Beating the WWE Champion down.
08:18This is smart of Roman.
08:23Take the power away from Big E.
08:28Big E bounced off the turnbuckle.
08:30Boos.
08:31Boos.
08:32Boos.
08:33Boos.
08:34Boos.
08:35Hey, come on.
08:36Come on, let's go.
08:37Come on, let's go.
08:38Come on.
08:39Come on.
08:40Come on.
08:41Come on.
08:42Come on.
08:43Come on.
08:44Come on.
08:45Throwing Big E around.
08:47It's the pace you expected Corey in the beginning of this matchup.
08:50It is because both of these athletes have a healthy professional respect for one another and realize that one mistake may be all you get in this matchup.
09:00Big E telegraphed and Roman took advantage.
09:05Big E drops down.
09:07Nice leapfrog.
09:08Tremendous athleticism by the WWE Champion.
09:11Cover now by Big E.
09:12Hook to the leg and Reigns kicks in one.
09:14Uh-huh.
09:15Boy, that talk is over.
09:17This talk is here.
09:20Shit.
09:21Big boot from Big E.
09:23All that talk is over.
09:25Time to prove it.
09:26This is the best Big E we have ever seen.
09:31Growing in confidence each and every day.
09:34Look at Big E.
09:35Thundering rights.
09:40Oh, no.
09:41I've seen this on TV so many times.
09:45And Big E with a splash.
09:46Nobody home.
09:47Roman Reigns rolls out of harm's way.
09:51Big brain on the head of the table.
09:54It looks to me like Big E might have injured his knee in the process.
09:57And that is not something the WWE Champion can afford at this juncture.
10:04Big E relies on his incredibly powerful legs for much of his offense, his explosiveness,
10:10and the big ending in particular.
10:13Roman Reigns, the drive by to Big E, drops him to the floor.
10:18Let's take another look at this, see if we can get eyes on where Big E potentially injured his knee.
10:26Hit the apron hard on the splash.
10:28He came up favoring the left knee.
10:35Roman knows that too.
10:36That's why he's the champ.
10:38And then Big E, back on his way toward the corner.
10:43Roman Reigns realizes Big E could be hurt here and taken advantage.
10:48Blood in the water for Roman.
10:51No!
10:52Colossal right!
10:54Cover by Reigns.
10:55Kick out by Big E and Juan.
10:56Big E is unbelievable.
10:57Only one there.
10:58This is the pace, Pat.
11:00We are very well aware of this.
11:01the pace Reigns loves.
11:04Cover now by Big E and a kick out.
11:09In control.
11:10Slow, methodical,
11:14punishing.
11:15Fans.
11:17Oh твоi are very well aware of this, the pace Reigns loves.
11:21Cover now by Big E and a kick out.
11:23In control.
11:24Slow, methodical,
11:28methodical punishing just sucking the life out of biggie draining them dry corey he's

12:39table is oh one who demands to be acknowledged each and every night out in front of the wwe universe
12:46the fact that there were new day rolls moments ago might have shaken the universal champion so much
12:51for that attempted rally oh and a big boat dropping biggie covered out by the universal champ and biggie
12:57this time at two kicks out nothing shakes the tribal chief too but even he is flustered by biggie's grit

13:25faces you understand me i'll come out there you you oh yeah the man right behind me does not want any
13:33parts of listen you're seeing cracks in the armor of the head of the table right now when's the last
13:38time roman stopped an assault on an opponent to jaw with the wwe universe it's not something you see
13:43regularly roman is not focused on the task at hand yeah i think he's confident he said i'll fight 15 000

16:00across the ring and biggie planting reigns and now the wwe champions feeling it
16:12oh whoa whoa splash to reigns

16:31biggie stalking roman reigns they have roman reigns right where he wants him biggie now roman misses
16:37wildly the momentum of biggie a caught Samoan drop cover by reigns for the win biggie kicks it too

16:49this is why these two men are the champions
16:53taking each other's best shots getting pummeled by each other and right like this boom Samoan drop it's
17:03almost over that was the closest we've seen biggie tonight to losing to the tribal chief

23:57And Roman looking for a guillotine, and Big E driving him into the corner.
24:02A guillotine submission, which Roman Reigns uses so effectively,
24:08could not lock it in, Big E driving Reigns to the corner.
24:11Big E had it scouted, obviously Reigns wasn't able to complete the submission attempt.
24:15Big E escaped just in time, and here comes the WWE champion.
24:19And another spear this time, Roman Reigns able to block,
24:23lock it in the guillotine on the ropes, he's got a five count to break.
24:27If you cut a man's wind off for five seconds, it takes a lot out of him, no matter how tough you are.
24:32And Big E tried to go to the well once too often, and Roman Reigns able to intercept.
24:36And now Roman Reigns, guillotine, center of the ring, and Big E could be fading.
24:41Could be a matter of seconds before Roman Reigns puts the WWE champion away.
24:46Like a boa constrictor wrapped around Big E.
24:51But look at the power of Big E.
24:53Big E powering up the Universal Champion.
24:56You gotta be kidding me!
24:58Big Andy!
24:59Big Andy!
25:00Big E for the win on Roman Reigns!
25:03And Roman grabs the ropes to survive!
25:05And Roman grabs the ropes to survive!
25:05Tonight, the name of the game has been survival.
25:15And the head of the table with enough instinct to preserve this matchup.
25:20But just barely.
25:21Because Big E delivered the big ending.
25:25Which, like the spear, has put down oh so many.
25:28But don't add Roman to the list just yet.
25:31If you're Big E, Corey, what do you do now?
25:35You just hit Roman Reigns with your big ending.
25:38Your finishing move.
25:39What do you do now?
25:40Stay the course.
25:41Keep applying pressure.
25:43Don't relent.
25:44Don't allow the Universal Champion to recover.
25:48And Big E.
25:49You okay, Roman?
25:51Roman Reigns rolls out of the ring.
25:52Big E.
25:53Bouncing Reigns off the announce table.
25:58Driving Reigns into the ring post.
26:01Let's play games.
26:02Let's play games.
26:04Big E finding some spite late.
26:06And Big E now the main streak coming out of the WWE Champion.
26:10And Big E damn near put Roman Reigns through the barricade just now.
26:13Big E.
26:15Big E snapping.
26:17Taking it to a higher gear.
26:22This is aggressiveness, Corey, that-
26:24I've been waiting for this moment.
26:26We did not see how to Big E.
26:29Let's go, Big E.
26:30You hear E tell me-
26:31He's coming, Roman.
26:31He's coming.
26:32Roman, he's coming.
26:32Let's play a game.
26:36Let's play a game, he says.
26:39Now Roman able to-
26:40No.
26:40It's Big E driven over the stale steps.
26:43And again to the knee that was bothering E earlier in the matchup.
26:48Yeah, when he came down hard on the apron and tweaked it as he hit the floor.
26:51It's held up rather well for E to this point, but the steel ring stairs might have changed
26:57all that in the favor of the Tribal Chief.
27:00Incredibly clever by the Tribal Chief.
27:02Reversing Big E and throwing him through the stairs.
27:09And Reigns off the step.
27:11Superman punch to Big E.
27:13And now Roman Reigns trying to send the WWE Champion back into the ring.
27:17Reigns with a sense of urgency, but E already back up.
27:20And again.
27:21And again, Roman Reigns slips out from behind, right to the bad knee.
27:27Spear by Reigns.
27:29Cover.
27:30Hook of the leg.
27:31Roman Reigns wins.
27:36Here's your winner.
27:37The Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.
27:46Roman Reigns Supreme.
27:49In the ultimate champion versus champion match.
27:56Roman Reigns victorious.
27:59Even in defeat, Big E with no reason to hang his head in disappointment.
28:04A tremendous effort by the WWE Champion.
28:07But in the end, the head of the table.
28:10Just too much tonight for Big E.
28:14And watch this.
28:15Again, Roman Reigns going to the previously injured leg of Big E.
28:21And it allowed Reigns to hit another spear.
28:23And put the WWE Champion away.
28:28Palm wheel for Big E.
28:30Leads to a spear from the head of the table.
28:34An instant classic ends.
28:36An incredible performance tonight by the WWE Champion, Big E.
28:42But Roman Reigns continues to rule WWE.
