02:51way the undefeated wwe champion drew mcintyre told us earlier today that he will do anything
03:17and he means anything to make sure he doesn't lose the championship but he did admit to us wave
03:25that this is a sammy zane a different sammy zane than he's faced in the pack and he realized that
03:31when slamming sammy slapped him across the face a couple of weeks ago yeah i think if you go back
03:37a couple of years and drew a talk a little smack about sammy's family i think sammy would have
03:42either shrugged it off or at least maybe just said a few words to drew hey you went too far
03:47you're right it's a different sammy zane he's laser focused he's locked in he's got the eyes of an
03:53assassin and he is ready to take through mcintyre to hell tonight
03:57a lot of numbers to talk about in this matchup the most prominent 11 and 0 that is the career
04:07record in one-on-one matches for drew mcintyre over sammy zane zero the number of world championships
04:15that sammy zane has won in his career
04:18so
04:26so
04:28so
05:32And nothing stops our ring announcer, Mark Nash.
05:40The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
05:51And it's for the undisputed WWE Championship.
06:00Introducing first the challenger from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, weighing in at 212 pounds, Sammy Zay.
06:20And his opponent from Air, Scotland, weighing in at 285 pounds.
06:39He is the undisputed WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre!
06:50Sammy Zayn told us that this match tonight is eerily reminiscent of Elimination Chamber a couple of years ago in Sammy's hometown of Montreal.
07:02The night that Sammy Zayn met Roman Reigns for the undisputed WWE Championship and came within a whisker of winning his first title.
07:10His first title.
07:23Sammy has momentum.
07:25What a fatal four-way to get here.
07:26And he has 25,000 strong in his corner here tonight.
07:31Yeah, you talked about 0 and 11.
07:33Well, the difference maker to make that 1 and 11 tonight could well be this highly vocal, highly partisan Riyadh crowd.
07:41Sammy Zayn has never lost in a match in Saudi Arabia.
07:45What does Sammy need to do to finally win that elusive world title tonight?
07:49Well, first of all, he needs to tap into this boost from the audience.
07:53And then he needs to be acutely aware of this domineering presence that is the WWE champ, Drew McIntyre.
08:00I thought it was very telling, as I mentioned earlier, that Drew admitted that this is a different Sammy Zayn than he's beaten in the past.
08:07And I think that's scary for Sammy because that means Drew has adjusted everything.
08:10Yeah, and Drew's absolutely right on that one.
08:13However, it's also a very different Drew McIntyre.
08:16This is a Drew McIntyre who had an arduous climb to return back to the top of WWE.
08:22We saw all the failures that he went through over the years against top opponents and world champions.
08:28Well, now he's got that title.
08:30He is prepared to be as inhumane as can be to make sure he maintains it.
08:35Finally got that bitter taste out of his mouth when he won the world title at Wrestlemania.
08:40Only to have Damian Priest cashing him in on him that night.
08:46And McIntyre just relentless in the attack.
08:49Go back over the last few years for McIntyre.
08:51The club line did to him when he was chasing gold.
08:54What CM Punk did to him when he was chasing gold.
08:57So many near misses.
08:59And Sammy knows the same story in a completely different way.
09:02But these are both two men who are prepared to go all out tonight.
09:06And there's McIntyre.
09:07Hook of the leg and a kick out by Sammy.
09:09It's also a testament to McIntyre and his desire.
09:13The fact that he lost a number of title matches to Cody Rhodes.
09:16But he kept coming back for more.
09:18And finally in the end, despite the circumstances,
09:21he won three stages of hell to win the title.
09:22Yeah, these two are eerily similar when you go away from the obvious,
09:27which is the personality between these two.
09:30These two both believe in their hearts they are the best on the planet.
09:33Not going to give up until they've proven it.
09:36Now, Drew has proven it.
09:37He is the king at the very top of the world.
09:40He's going to have to be at his best tonight for this version of Sammy Zane.
09:43I have a question for you, Wade.
09:44You had a great career in WWE, but you never won a world championship.
09:49For someone like Sammy Zane, how important is that
09:52when you look back on your career?
09:54I mean, to me, it's everything.
09:55Of course, I ride on the fact that I was a five-time intercontinental champion.
09:59I would love to check that warm box to say,
10:02no, I stood at the very top of this industry.
10:05I got close, but every time I got near there,
10:07I slipped back down.
10:08And Sammy over the top takes out McIntyre.
10:11It may have hurt himself.
10:12Sammy may have hurt himself.
10:14I mean, it was a bullseye on McIntyre who did the damage,
10:17but you're right, I think he's, I don't know if he's hyper-extended the back
10:21or he landed on that tailbone or what, but the lower back is just a...
10:24Look at this.
10:26That's the problem with a high-risk maneuver like that in a championship match.
10:30What mistake could cost you?
10:32Well, I'll tell you right now, the back really didn't hit the ground.
10:35It was more that the feet hit and the lower back got jarred.
10:37It's almost like a pile driver that does a lot of damage to the neck,
10:41but this was to the lumbar spine of Sammy Zayn.
10:44Oh, God, this is completely changed.
10:46This is what's scary for Sammy.
10:47He's got a bullseye on his lower back now,
10:49and Drew McIntyre is going to make him pay.
10:53Drew is as smart as they come when he sees a weakness,
10:56and he's ravenous now for the blood of Sammy Zayn,
10:59and Sammy's about to face some severe punishment.
11:01Well, it's hard enough going into the ring with McIntyre at 100%.
11:05With a serious injury to the lower back.
11:08So I'll tell you right now, we talked about this crowd,
11:10how being in Saudi Arabia was going to give Sammy a boost.
11:13That's great, but it can make you a little over-excited,
11:17a little over-zealous, a little over-committed.
11:20I think Sammy just slightly over-shot that dive,
11:24but a little too much energy in there, and he's paying the price now.
11:27And what Drew has done with this, Wade,
11:28is he's taken the crowd out of this match-up.
11:31Well, the crowd sensed the damage to their man, Sammy Zayn,
11:34the so-called hometown hero here.
11:37They're all living their dreams through this guy
11:39until our Saudi friends produce a top superstar.
11:42But right now, Sammy Zayn's hopes are slipping away.
11:45Maybe the new trainee, Bahad Tweak, that we saw on the kickoff show yesterday.
11:50He is a big, big dude.
11:52Once he gets his skills in order,
11:53no doubt we're going to see him compete in here,
11:55but right now all concerns laser-focused on Sammy Zayn and that lower back.
12:01It has been some night tonight.
12:03Liv Morgan won the Women's Royal Rumble,
12:06and I can't even believe I'm saying this.
12:10The professional wrestling career of AJ Styles ended.
12:13Trying not to think of that.
12:15Trying to move on at least for now and break that down in the aftermath,
12:20although the aftermath of this particular match may be imminent
12:23because Sammy's got seemingly nothing left,
12:25and his body has given out on him.
12:27Fans trying to rally Sammy.
12:37Zayn ducks underneath.
12:39Sammy Red right into that tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.
12:42Covered by the champ, Sammy.
12:44And that was a weak kick out.
12:46Yeah, and ever since that lower back started acting up after that dive,
12:50it looks like Drew McIntyre against a rookie with zero experience
12:55because Sammy Zayn is offering next to nothing in return.
12:58Tell me about this.
12:59When you have a lower back injury like that,
13:01and a 280-pound man lays on top of you in a pinning predicament,
13:05how difficult is it to kick out?
13:07Well, you use your spine and your legs for leverage on a kick out,
13:12but that is the least of Sammy's worries right now.
13:14Just any movement, any breath, if that lower back is flaring up,
13:18is going to be stinging,
13:19and Sammy's elusive nature is entirely compromised here
13:23against a bigger, more powerful opponent.
13:26And if that's gone away,
13:27you question how the hell can Sammy win this?
13:29Superplex may break his back.
13:32Sammy realizing that looks to counter.
13:34Got to be wondering what's going through the mind
13:36of an injured Sammy Zayn here.
13:38Sammy fighting back.
13:40Who hasn't pulled the muscle getting out of bed
13:42and had to limp around for the next few days?
13:45Oh, so it's a flip powerbomb.
13:48Cover!
13:49McIntyre just kicks out.
13:50What was the key in that move there?
13:52That was not the power of Sammy Zayn.
13:54It wasn't really the movement of Sammy Zayn.
13:56It was using Drew's leverage on the ropes against him.
13:59There are ways to hurt McIntyre here for Sammy,
14:02even if he's physically compromised,
14:04although it's going to be difficult,
14:06and Sammy has to be the smartest fighter he's ever been in this one.
14:09And Sammy realizes he's got to take advantage now.
14:11That's not going to work.
14:12Yeah, I thought he was looking for Blue Thunderbomb.
14:15And Drew McIntyre able to counter,
14:17but Drew's back hurting as well.
14:18I'll tell you right now.
14:19Oh!
14:20Drew is 280 pounds of Scottish beef.
14:23That's tough to lift at the best of times,
14:25even more so when your lower back simply doesn't work.
14:28A kip up by the champion.
14:32Sammy with a desperation sunset flip powerbomb moments ago.
14:37And McIntyre lining up Sammy Zayn.
14:40Sammy to his feet.
14:41McIntyre went for the claymore and Sammy intercepted.
14:43And now Sammy Zayn with a Blue Thunderbomb cover for the championship
14:48and a kick out by McIntyre.
14:50Yeah, and Sammy, though, astoundingly pulled off that Blue Thunderbomb.
14:53You saw the pin.
14:54It wasn't its usual stat itself for Sammy Zayn.
14:58He immediately, after the landing,
15:00goes to grab the lower back.
15:01He's not tight on the pin.
15:03And McIntyre gets a free pass to kick out.
15:05An incredible atmosphere here at Riyadh Season Stadium at Kaft in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
15:14First time the Royal Rumble has ever been held outside of North America.
15:20I don't know if atmosphere can act as an anesthetic,
15:23but if it does, Sammy Zayn might have a chance here.
15:27I'm sure Sammy wants to get into a slugfest with McIntyre.
15:31Costco kiss.
15:32And I agree with you on that.
15:33The problem is Sammy can't move out of the way of a slugfest.
15:36He has no choice but to trade with the biggest, stronger McIntyre.
15:39And again, McIntyre perched in the corner,
15:41begging Sammy to get to his feet,
15:43looking for a Claymore that he tried earlier on.
15:47Three, two, one.
15:50Went for the Claymore.
15:51Missed.
15:51Sammy rolled out of harm's way.
15:53Opportunity.
15:54Pinning combination.
15:55Shoulders down and a kick out again by McIntyre.
15:58And every movement of Sammy Zayn having to block out this pain.
16:01What a fight Sammy Zayn is in with his own body.
16:04Forget the fact that he's in there with McIntyre,
16:07the WWE champ.
16:09Two battles at the same time for Sammy Zayn.
16:13I guess Sammy just trying to fight fire with fire,
16:16but again, just collapses.
16:26What a sound like this do for Sammy Zayn.
16:29It raises those endorphins.
16:31Endorphins can block out that pain
16:33and make you do superhuman things.
16:36And Sammy might be able to pull off a miracle,
16:39but McIntyre clearly other ideas.
16:41Yeah, Drew McIntyre just continues to push forward.
16:46Is this what you expected out of this match thus far?
16:51I mean, the second Sammy hurt that lower back, yes,
16:55because Drew has been in complete control.
16:57He's controlled the pace.
16:59And Sheamus is throwing things at the TV.
17:01There it is.
17:02White noise.
17:04Sorry, Sheamus.
17:05Cover by McIntyre.
17:07And a kick out.
17:09I think Sheamus would be happy if Drew won with that.
17:11No, he wouldn't.
17:12He has told me he wouldn't.
17:13It was his birthday the other day, too.
17:15That was a belated gift here from McIntyre.
17:18And Sammy Zane's lower back once again,
17:21bearing the brunt of that massive white noise
17:24from the second rope.
17:25More frustration now for Drew McIntyre,
17:28but Drew McIntyre knows full well
17:30he holds all the cards for victory here
17:33so he can go home with that championship.
17:35This is for the undisputed WWE title.
17:38McIntyre the champion.
17:39Sammy Zane the challenger.
17:41Duck's underneath looking for a backslide.
17:43Can he pull it off?
17:44He does.
17:45McIntyre rolls through, though.
17:46Oh, there it is, the future shock.
17:50McIntyre not done yet.
17:53And another to Zane.
17:55Zane might be out of here.
17:57Oh, we're not done.
17:58This is sadistic now.
17:59Yeah, McIntyre.
18:04Third time.
18:07And that may be all she wrote for Sammy Zane,
18:11who's still somehow in it.
18:13Well, first of all, it's incredible
18:15that Sammy Zane did kick out at all,
18:17but that is the weakest kick out
18:19I have seen in a long, long time.
18:22There's nothing left in the tank for Sammy.
18:25McIntyre, he's gone for the claymore
18:26a couple of times.
18:27You feel like now is a prime opportunity
18:30to really finish this man off.
18:33McIntyre a bit disappointed
18:34that he didn't put Sammy Zane away
18:36with the trifecta,
18:38and now measuring his man.
18:40Looks more pissed off than anything else,
18:42and Sammy Zane's got nothing here.
18:47Oh, maybe he does.
18:48Looking for the...
18:49the exploder,
18:51but McIntyre
18:52with an elbow to the neck
18:53and then a clothesline to Sammy.
18:55Well, the brain is still sharp,
18:56but the body not working for Sammy Zane here.
18:58Oh, runaway train, McIntyre
19:00continuing here
19:02to punish Sammy Zane.
19:05That's the problem.
19:05Sammy's fighting on his...
19:06Oh, it isn't!
19:07Oh, the kick almost caught him.
19:10Claymore by McIntyre!
19:12Claymore!
19:16Sammy got his foot
19:17on the bottom rope,
19:18and he's still in it.
19:19Well, he doesn't have the power
19:21to kick out,
19:22but McIntyre made the cardinal sin
19:24for a veteran like him.
19:26Sammy with those long legs
19:27and it's simply too close
19:28to that lower rope,
19:29but that was Sammy
19:30throwing the dice one last time.
19:33Did not pay off.
19:34The speed of McIntyre
19:35is something to behold
19:36for a true heavyweight like him.
19:38Yeah, McIntyre
19:38should have hooked the outside leg.
19:40I'll tell you right now,
19:41that was an arrogant pin
19:42from McIntyre
19:43who thought he was home and dry.
19:45Sammy Zane had other ideas.
19:51He's pretty careful there.
19:52McIntyre not above
19:53knocking out an official.
19:55He's going to do that recently.
19:57I see him.
19:58I've got my left eye worse.
19:59Oh, Haluma kick.
20:06Haluma kick by Sammy.
20:08Trying to drag himself
20:10and crawl into the cover.
20:13McIntyre barely got the shoulder up.
20:15Oh, God.
20:16And if Sammy Zane's body
20:18worked any better,
20:20A, he would have got there quicker,
20:22B, he would have hooked
20:23two legs tightly,
20:24and this one would have been over.
20:26The dream would have come true
20:28for Sammy Zane.
20:30Once again,
20:31immediately to that lower back.
20:33And now Drew McIntyre,
20:37the champ,
20:38needing to regroup.
20:39Well, that was a shocker for McIntyre,
20:46who was completely distracted,
20:48yelling at the official.
20:51Big, big error in this championship match,
20:54and the back door has been opened here
20:56for Sammy Zane,
20:57stumbling around as he may be.
21:02Sammy back gave out.
21:04The back gave out.
21:06McIntyre.
21:08Oh, my God.
21:09The spine.
21:11The spine right through the table.
21:14Sammy Zane buckling.
21:16Look at the position of his body.
21:17Well, we've talked time and time again
21:19about these tables.
21:20They are made of metal.
21:22They rarely collapse.
21:24It takes an extreme amount of force,
21:26and all that force
21:27has now been absorbed
21:28by the lumbar spine of Sammy Zane,
21:31who may well need a backboard
21:33to be carried out of here.
21:35Referee taking a close look.
21:36Yeah, I'm not sure if Sammy Zane
21:38is going to be able to
21:39continue in this match.
21:43Got some more officials out here
21:45checking on Zane.
21:46And McIntyre said,
21:49uh-uh, I want more punishment.
21:51I want to destroy Sammy Zane here.
21:52And he's perfectly right to do this.
21:54The referee wants to throw the match out.
21:56Do so.
21:59McIntyre.
21:59Until the bell rings,
22:01keep fighting.
22:02Sending Zane into the ring.
22:04You can't blame McIntyre for this.
22:06It's distasteful,
22:07and it pains the fans of Sammy Zane,
22:09but McIntyre is fighting
22:11to retain the championship,
22:13and I don't blame him.
22:13Well, he said he'd do anything.
22:15Anything in his power.
22:16To make sure he doesn't lose
22:18the WWE title.
22:33A defiant Sammy
22:34with an exploder
22:36into the corner.
22:37Oh, God.
22:38This is Sammy Zane
22:39tapping into something else.
22:41He may be beaten.
22:42Sammy Zane may be battered,
22:44but the heart
22:45is the last thing to go.
22:50Claymore!
23:00McIntyre refusing the pin.
23:01There's going to be more.
23:03Well, the body of Zane is done.
23:06The brain of Zane might be done,
23:09but the heart is still beating,
23:11and McIntyre is about to take that out, too.
23:15Look in the eye!
23:17Claymore again.
23:18The death blow.
23:21McIntyre retains.
23:24Here is your winner, and still the undisputed WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre!
23:40It wasn't pretty,
23:44but it was effective.
23:50And Sammy Zane, as gutsy as they come,
23:54but after that lower-back tweak
23:56in the early goings,
23:58this match was simply never the same again.
24:02Just unsurpassed heart and drive from the challenger.
24:06But how the hell do you stop a man like McIntyre,
24:09who was prepared to snoot to the depths of humanity?
24:13A high-risk move by Sammy Zane
24:17set off a chain reaction
24:20in which Drew McIntyre would retain his title.
24:28And this is the moment
24:29hopes seem to go away for good for Sammy Zane
24:33as that lower spine connected with that desk
24:36collapsing the entire thing.
24:37But Sammy Zane still had a little something left.
24:41McIntyre slapping the hell out of Zane Zane.
24:43Responding somehow with that exploder
24:46on a delayed halluva kick.
24:48It was all in touch for McIntyre
24:50to pull out that claymore.
24:52Think about the pin and think,
24:53hell no, Sammy's gonna kick out here.
24:56I'm gonna finish it for good.
24:57No mistake, the second time around,
25:00stacking maximum offense on the challenger.
25:04And McIntyre wins once again.
25:11Come here.
25:12Now!
25:13Come here!
25:15Do your damn job!
25:16Do your job!
25:18Do your job!
25:20Rich!
25:21I'm not doing it!
25:22I'm not doing it!
25:32That's why I'm the damn champion of the world!
25:34Fuck!
25:35I'm not doing it.
25:35Something else.
25:36Hope to take a hit.
25:38Beautiful.
25:39What's next?
25:40I'm not?
25:40I'm sorry.
25:40And come here on my mind.
25:41I'm...
25:42what are you who are you going to get here?
25:43What are you doing here?
25:43I've been doing here.
25:44I'm going to see you and here,
25:45me...
25:46How are you going to change?
25:58Have you been with me here.
25:58After distintos,
26:00there's nothing I do.
26:00để me down with you.
