04:36Let's talk to me.
04:42Let's talk to me.
04:45Let's talk to me.
04:46Let's talk to me.
04:47I still get goosebumps every time these two men grace the rest.
04:54Let's talk to me.
08:36And his opponent, he is the greatest of all time,
09:06here to grace St. Louis with his presence, one final time.
09:14He is the last real champion, John Cena.
09:38It was,
10:08thank you.
11:32It's the victory that John Cena made at WrestleMania 17th world title.
11:36Ric Flair of course now sits in second place with 16 world championships.
11:39Third on that list, time for third, is this man Randy Orton in the hall of famer Triple H with 14 Wade.
11:52An incredible feat.
11:53feet well a good chat with randy orton we saw on our pre-show randy orton claims he's got at least
11:5910 years left in his body and if he makes this number 15 then 17 will become tantalizingly
12:07close oh you know i was sort of expecting that john cena obviously with his cheap little slap
12:13that was just to play mind games you knew it wasn't going to hurt randy randy who may be in
12:17the best shape of his life and he goes a poke in the eye and official chad patten gonna let a
12:24little bit go here tonight as well he should and let me tell you cole the difference at wrestlemania
12:29is that cody rhodes refused to take that low road with john cena he was too morally pure and it came
12:36back to bite him randy orton historically has had no issue whatsoever in taking whatever low road
12:43is available all bets are off now and i like that for randy orton and here's cena now
12:47back center of the ring you know for randy orton i've said many many times over the years he has
12:52absolutely no absence of malice he doesn't like anybody and despite his growing popularity over
13:01the years he's still the same old randy orton way yeah the personality doesn't change sometimes they
13:06love him sometimes they hate him but innately inside randy orton there are those sadistic voices
13:12he's turning him to the dark side and that is a massive benefit to orton tonight if he's going to
13:18dethrone the so-called last real champ he had a tremendous sit-down interview with randy on the
13:26countdown show way very open in a lot of the things that he talked about yeah and i'll tell you right
13:31now this is by far the most mature version of randy orton i have ever seen truly is in 2025 the locker room
13:39leader that john cena never was during his time on top well i mean you would know better than i would
13:45since you spent time in the locker room but i'm not sure if i agree with that statement i think many
13:50people would believe cena was a locker room leader for much of his career i completely dispute that i
13:54think john cena was about one man and one man only and randy actually echoed that in my interview with
14:00him throughout his career on top john cena put himself first and foremost whereas somebody like randy
14:05orton is consistently giving this this also coming from the guy that headed up a group that tried to
14:10end john cena's career in fact you had a match with randy orton at one point where john cena was forced to
14:15be the referee in that match because of this whole silly nexus situation you were involved in
14:19there's nothing silly about the nexus i was a young guy trying to punch up and make a name for myself
14:24that's all that was you can't blame young guys taking shortcuts like that but randy orton is a man who
14:30certainly doesn't need any shortcuts this evening physically built to perfection and now john cena's
14:36taken a stroll he would have never seen this out of the old john cena whatever happened to the hustle
14:43loyalty and the respect and the never give up attitude of this man john cena knows physically he
14:49cannot match the absolute best so he has to take these shortcuts on randy orton is saying hell no
14:55you ain't getting away that easy and randy orton is he wants an opportunity at the championship of
15:01course he has to pin or submit john for that to happen interesting interview in billboard magazine
15:06with randy orton among the subjects they talked about was the fact that and here's cena now in the
15:11clothesline was the fact that randy finds himself in this unfamiliar position of getting cheered when it always
15:18used to be cena getting cheered when he faced orton in the past yeah it's unadulterated at this point
15:22and let me tell you the entire locker room in wwe is completely united behind randy orton this
15:29spiteful megalomaniac that 2025 john cena has become he does not own the history and the legacy
15:37of this company of that championship that he's currently in possession of
15:42says he's going to retire with it because he's the quote last real champion
15:46still impressed with the shape that john's able to maintain with the schedule that he has
15:57dude i can't lose a pound if i try
16:01physically incredible shape is john cena and he showed that he absolutely does not have that ring
16:09rust at wrestlemania 41
16:1117 000 plus in st louis in unison chanting along with randy's punches give him 20 more please
16:33randy orton and cena now on jelly legs not a good place to be when you're in that kind of proximity
16:43to a man as dangerous as randy or cover by randy on cena and cena kicks it too randy knew he wasn't
16:49going to pick up the win there that was more psychological than anything else well that's the
16:53methodical pacing that has made randy orton one of the absolute greatest of all time and now that
16:59carving stomp being targeted across the frame of john cena i think we've named it the orton stomp by now
17:07and wade you i'm old school pal and you mentioned this wade in the countdown i thought it was really
17:12interesting the methodical style of randy orton that's the style that cena worked against cody
17:16rhodes at wrestlemania and it really helped john in that matchup but now he's in the match against
17:20a guy like orton who does the same thing yeah you're absolutely right so cody rhodes is a much faster
17:25paced superstar than john cena having to be at wrestlemania 41 cody was baited into that if cena
17:32wants to take things slow tonight that entirely plays into the wheelhouse of the viper randy orton
17:38who looks a different class to the champ this evening randy with a knee to the face of cena
17:44and a kick out let's not forget i mean let alone the fact that his dad is a cowboy bob orton
17:51we mentioned 40 years ago this weekend the big match with paul kogan at saturday night's main event
17:55but you know he also learned the trade and all the tricks in the book from not only triple h but
18:02the nature boy the dirtiest player in the history of the sport as part of evolution and we talked about
18:08that low road no finer tutors in history to give you a road map on how to excel on that low road
18:16and drop the hammer at the right time against john cena who certainly is not going to give up easily
18:23in this one yeah cedar looking for a sleeper now on orton got him caught center of the ring not sure
18:27if john has it all and now he might john putting his entire pressure on the body of randy randy's
18:33massive frame able to hold john up at least momentarily but john trying to wrestle him down to the mat
18:37yeah we saw that montage of the history between these two you can see from the frame alone how much the
18:42physique of randy has changed over the years once upon a time he may well have collapsed
18:47when john cena was on his back not here uh-oh yeah the viper wrapping himself around john cena
18:55more like a chin lock applied here wrestling john down to the mat now to one knee
19:02randy's done a hell of a job of keeping his ego and his anger intact so far
19:06now john turns it around to a sleeper of his own now remember this is seen his first title
19:11defense since he won the championship at wrestlemania he's not had a match since then
19:15randy orton now locks up john again and now john into one of his own
19:21well these two know each other so so well
19:25that back suplex brings both men down in the center of the ring again senior official
19:31chad patten working this match tonight it's going to be incredibly difficult for either one of these
19:38two to catch the other by surprise this evening you know wade we talked earlier
19:42no one ever thought that someone would would knock off the 16 time world championship record held by
19:49flair cena did it now people are talking about the fact that nobody's ever going to get to 17
19:53but if orton's talking about hanging around another 10 years he may do that
19:57yeah it's only randy orton who's in with any form of chance right now that's for sure
20:03shoulder tackle now by cena orton goes down again and john and there's that spin slam by cena
20:09and john cena's got where he wants him will he give the fans what they want
20:15muscle memory for cena and hats off to cena not even breathing heavy
20:19mockingly
20:27and now john with the five knuckles shuffle across the forehead of orton well he's a knob
20:34but he's absolutely capable of tapping into that historical best and here we go gold
20:40tina looking for an a and or who's able to slip out from behind
20:43randy now with the clothesline now or something to pick up the pace
20:47it is may it is the final number of months and john cena's legendary career he wants to retire
20:55as champion orton has something to say about it tonight we'll talk about tapping into historical
21:01best randy orton doing what he does like nobody else and cena's in trouble here he's been in this
21:08position before it's a draping ddt but oh cena great move cena rolling up orton here and again
21:17these guys know each other so well wait yeah when you know the great now cena looking for the spfu
21:21randy blocking it so so well keep those hands where they are randy john trying to lock it in but randy
21:29orton able to block at least momentarily john's able to slip it in there though he doesn't have all
21:34of it as orton now tries to drag john to the ropes that's seeing the desperately trying to
21:38rear back and stretch that spine of randy orton but randy perhaps at this point at least too powerful
21:46to allow him to do so john cena realizing that looks to grab it and drag working back toward the middle
21:51of the ring randy creates some space simply got it stay away from the heaviest hitters and here we go
21:57again this time now vintage randy orton with a draping ddt and i think randy
22:04as he recuperates may start hearing some voices i've tasted that ddt many times from randy orton and
22:14things never went well in the aftermath randy shrugging off some pain in that lower back from that
22:21bestie everton
22:22the viper is coiled the viper is ready to strike
22:37went for the rko cina blocked cina now with randy up on his shoulders
22:47attitude adjustment wait a minute
22:51both men down
22:57okay
23:02look at this out massive amount of effort there from john cena look at this oh god and we missed it
23:08yes cina went for the aa randy went for the rko and both men took each other out
23:14just shows you how lightning fast the reactions of randy orton are in real time
23:20we were oblivious to it but check the slow-mo my god
23:24keeping himself in the match
23:25yeah incredible cena delivering an aa while randy countered at the same time of the rko
23:30well cena smelled victory there but taking it away at the death is the unrepentant viper
23:39it's amazing and so many years of watching these two new battle and it just each and every time
23:46it just so blessed to be out here way to watch these two all-time greats go at each other
23:51two most iconic professional wrestlers of this millennium
23:56and you've shared the ring with both of them that's incredible oh yeah and i rarely had any form of success

24:19and not only oh wait a minute
24:21a.a. a.a. by cena to retain
24:24on orton cover kick out by randy
24:27well that time randy orton just had no answer
24:31you had to think he was rocked by those massive shots from john cena
24:36randy orton having to dig deep to protect the legacy of not only his family but his entire industry
24:44i was going to say 17 000 invested in every move in this match tonight in fact they've been invested in
24:50every move of every match tonight and what has been an incredible show
24:54we've had three title retentions so far tonight cena trying to make it full
25:11and now randy orton up on his shoulders again able to use those long arms to hang on to the top rope
25:18and the momentum now this is wildly seen off the ropes again there's another shoulder tackle to randy

25:39randy orton with a desperation throw at the rko
25:42so much has been taken out of orton
25:45and he may have got a stinger at some point trying to get some feeling back in the hands
25:50grabbing the neck look at this rko so instinctive
25:53well randy's had precision
25:54and wait he's had neck issues back issues shoulder issues his entire career

26:36excitement over committed

26:42but he will do it somehow still randy orton

27:23maybe lining up for a punt of his own
27:25randy orton moves out of harm's way
27:27randy now went for an arcane
27:28so i'm not sure that was an advert
27:33but getting burnt by cena
27:34but nonetheless the official chad patton's down
27:37yeah that was a heavy landing for chad patton
27:40and now with chad down
27:41cena with a third a.a
27:42delivered to randy but john is very well aware
27:45there's no official right now
27:46yeah how many times do you see people dive on a pin
27:49in that situation
27:50that is 25 years of experience of john cena
27:53knowing full well he's on a hiding to nothing
27:55but with the referee down
27:58you know john is staring down at the title
28:01remember what happened at wrestlemania
28:03when cody rhodes wouldn't pull the trigger
28:06wouldn't use the championship
28:08well you can go as low as you want at this point
28:11you can't see me
28:14referee can't see
28:15why
28:15why
28:16that was the answer history
28:20you've already made history
28:23you didn't have to act like this
28:25well he's trying to own history
28:26that's the point
28:27that's why he wants to retire
28:28with that championship
28:30and with the referee down
28:31randy
28:32out of nowhere by orton

29:00swinging back and forth
29:02both men
29:03looking to be closing in on the win
29:06randy's in a bad way

29:39at kevin owens
29:41he didn't just dissipate
29:42it's remained and it's been refocused
29:45on john cena
29:46what are you talking about

30:12and that was the moment
30:13john cena capitalized
30:15and got straight back into this
30:17and again i got to admit something here
30:19way that john has been
30:20just a step quicker tonight
30:22to beat randy orton to the punch
30:25he's got that look on his face
30:26that he's loved every second of it so far
30:28he's trying to embarrass
30:29and humiliate
30:31randy orton in his hometown
30:33well he's going to do that
30:34if he puts him through this table here
30:35just the scour and
30:38the disgusting look on the face of
30:40the disgusted look i should say
30:42on the face of cena
30:43and now john
30:45with randy orton up top
30:46focusing on the announce table now
30:51randy orton though

30:54and randy orton now
30:55look at this
30:56randy
30:57and randy's talking to himself now and that's never a good thing
31:13john cena bouncing off the table
31:18spine first off this reinforced steel table
31:22and randy's talking to himself now and that's never a good thing
31:26you might want to get back cole you've already
31:28well i dodged danger once this evening
31:30where the hell do you want me to go
31:31randy now just dragging john cena up talking some trash as he's doing it

31:50well somebody somebody better check on chad
31:53he's out

31:56randy's beating the hell out of cena
31:58and i don't think he's done yet
32:01got a lot of walking wounded
32:03our medical staff are focused on a lot of the
32:05bodies that have been beaten up this evening
32:08and things are about to get even worse
32:12judging by the actions of randy orton
32:16who has found something he likes to look at
32:19and the fans do as well
32:22randy orton uh he's setting up a table wade
32:34randy orton is now setting up a table
32:37i mean he's already put john
32:39into one and through one and
32:42now he's got the hood of our announce table that he's tossing out of harm's way
32:46and he's going to drag john cena now
32:48morality goes out of the window
32:51referees down take your chance make this a street fight
32:54now john fighting back
32:58bouncing randy off the steel steps here
33:01cena ready fighting back
33:07randy
33:08another 8 Johnny to trance
33:11another 8ie through our table
33:15randy orton using giant offense against him
33:19Well, a brief pause from Randy Orton after the amount of energy he's exerted this evening.
33:36You can't blame him, but John Cena lets banter rights at this point.
33:40Two tables he's been through.
33:43But, Wade, there's a serious problem here.
33:45We don't have an official.
33:46This has turned into an all-out street fight, an absolute brawl.
33:51Referee Chad Patton's been down for a number of minutes.
33:53He went headfirst into the steel steps.
33:56Well, we need a contingency plan because this match is continuing.
33:59Well, maybe general manager Pierce should figure out sending another official down here.
34:03It is awesome, guys, but Randy's not going to have a chance to win things if there's nobody to count.
34:11Well, a tactic at that point through unlimited damage.
34:16Until a referee finally shows up, there's nothing stopping you.
34:22Guarantee victory.
34:23And Randy Orton now is coiled and ready to strike John Cena.
34:26Trying to come two now.
34:27Trying to make it back to his feet.
34:29Orton is primed and ready.
34:31Randy Orton now.
34:33RKO to Cena.
34:34Forehead to canvas.
34:37Cover, wait a minute.
34:38Look who's coming.
34:38Look who's coming.
34:40Official Eddie Orango into the ring.
34:42Cena takes it too.
34:43Not quite quick enough for Randy Orton.
34:45But we've got another official in the ring.
34:49Well, the frustration is palpable inside this arena.
34:53The hometown boy had it won.
34:56But somehow, I'll give all the credit in the world after going through two tables and tasting an RKO.
35:03John Cena refuses to die.
35:15And now as Randy talks to the official, John Cena stalking him from behind.
35:20Oh, the championship bounced off the face.
35:24Oh, K.O.
35:24The official's down again.
35:27Randy Orton's got the damn championship one again.
35:30And again, there's no official.
35:32One, six, seven, eight.
35:36One, six, seven, eight.
35:38And now general manager Nick Aldis from SmackDown and a bunch of officials heading down to the ring.
35:44Trying to get the official Eddie Orango to come two.
35:47I'll tell you right now, I've seen many championship shots to the cranium in my time.
35:52That was about as hard a hit as I have ever seen.
35:56I'm not surprised as this was focused on the referee who's down.
36:00And Randy, of course, frustrated.
36:01He had this one.
36:03Of course he did.
36:04Now he's yelling at Aldis, the general manager.
36:07Get another referee, Nick.
36:10Very many left.
36:11After seeing two carcasses of referees who complain nobody else who wanted to run down.
36:19Get some...
36:20Oh, RKO in Aldis.
36:21That'll be a fine.
36:24Another RKO.
36:25It's an RKO party in St. Louis.
36:28A frustrated RKO.
36:30An RKO after RKO.
36:32There are bodies everywhere.
36:37Carnage at the hands of a completely out of his mind, Randy Orton.
36:43Bodies everywhere.
36:44And now voices ringing in the ears of the sadistic psychopath.
36:54And who can blame Randy Orton for losing his rank at this point?
36:58He had the title won in a number of times in this match.
37:01John Cena is defenseless in the corner.
37:05Randy Orton is backing up into position.
37:08He tried to do this earlier tonight.
37:10I mentioned the legend killer.
37:11For many years, planted legends.
37:15One final legend to kill.
37:22Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
37:23What the hell are you doing, Truth?
37:25R-Truth coming to the aid of his longtime RKO.
37:31Truth, a longtime fan of Cena's.
37:35Coming out here to defend John.
37:37Low blow.
37:39That's R-Truth's fault.
37:43Well, I mean.
37:44R-Truth lives in an alternative reality.
37:47He did come out here because he's a fan of John's.
37:50But the problem now, off the low blow, Cena has the championship gold in hand again.
37:55Right off the skull of Orton.
37:57He gets rid of the evidence.
37:59Into the cover.
38:01Again, no official, but coming to and dragging himself into the ring is Chad Patton.
38:06Patton's back into the ring.
38:07The cover now by Cena.
38:09Randy Orton is down and out.
38:11And John Cena retains the damn championship.
38:14Here is your winner, and still the undisputed WWE Champion,
38:30John Cena.
38:34Now, I don't even know what to say anymore.
38:37Except the fact that the old John Cena never, in a million years,
38:42would have taken a victory like that.
38:44Well, this is the most-
38:45Which is what made him special.
38:47Wade, that is what made John Cena special.
38:50Well, you're a reformed fanboy like a lot of people at this point,
38:53but this is the most desperate, soulless John Cena we have ever seen.
38:58But crucially, that's irrelevant right now.
39:01What is relevant is that John Cena is still the champ.
39:07Well, he wants to retire the title.
39:10The last real champion in his mind.
39:12And, I mean...
39:15Well, this was the second referee who got felled.
39:19Eddie Orango Championship shot to the skull.
39:22Connected with a flush RKO.
39:24And Randy had this one.
39:25This was the moment.
39:27This place should have come unglued.
39:29And Randy should have been the 15th time world champion.
39:32Well, Randy's gonna suffer a lot of fines after the carnage he left.
39:37As his, uh...
39:39Oh, his frustration just...
39:40RKO party.
39:42Anyone in reasonable range took one.
39:46Our producers, our executives.
39:49Jamie Noble face first, bouncing off the mat.
39:53And this was when Randy Orton lined up the punts,
39:56and it should have been executed.
39:57That was the kill shot.
39:59Oh, R-Truth out here, uh...
40:01To save his long time, uh...
40:03Oh, buddy, I guess.
40:05Always a fan of Cena.
40:06And then, of course, with the officials still out,
40:08that was delivered.
40:09The low blow weight, and then it was just a...
40:11That distraction from R-Truth opened the window for John Cena
40:15to do the dastardly.
40:17Take it as low as you want.
40:18And Randy Orton at this point, with that championship shot,
40:21he's out completely cold.
40:23You hope beyond hope
40:25there would be some way he could kick out of this.
40:29You know what?
40:30You know what makes me so angry about all this,
40:35is the fact that that was a great match.
40:38John put on a hell of a show.
40:39I know you can't see me, but can you hear me?
40:42Cut the damn music!
40:43I don't need music.
40:55I don't need music.
41:04What I need is competition.
41:06And I sure as hell don't need you.
41:17Drink it in, St. Louis,
41:19because this is what the last real champion looks like.
41:36Bro.
41:54Bro.
41:59Bro.
42:02Bro.
42:03Bro.
42:03Bro.
