00:00:11And now, taking his way to the ring, a 6'1 World Heavyweight Champion from Chicago.
00:00:27He is the second City Saint, he is the best in the world, C.M. Paul.
00:00:44Some nostalgia from the Jordan era Bulls, voiced by the iconic PA announcer, Ray Clay.

00:05:43C.M.
00:05:45C.M.
00:05:46C.M.
00:05:52The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the World Heavyweight Championship!
00:06:07Introducing first, the challenger from Frey County, Wicklow, Ireland, weighing in at 190 pounds, representing the Judgment Day, Finn Balor!
00:06:36And his opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, he is the World Heavyweight Champion, C.M. Plung!
00:06:57It has been a long time coming, 13 long years since C.M. Plung has had a WWE match in
00:07:06his hometown of Chicago.
00:07:08C.M. Plung! C.M. Plung! C.M. Plung!
00:07:13Plung understands that Father Time is undefeated.
00:07:17He understands that this could be the very last match that he ever has in his career here in United
00:07:23Center.
00:07:24And he says tonight he is going to savor it all as he defends the World Heavyweight Championship against a
00:07:31very hungry Finn Balor,
00:07:33who wants to turn the main event at WrestleMania upside down.
00:07:39I talked to Balor earlier today.
00:07:41He told me that he needs to take the crowd out of this match early on.
00:07:46He learned way back in Belfast what a crowd can do to you.
00:07:49The momentum and the emotion that you can feed off when it comes to the hometown crowd.
00:07:55He says he needs to take that crowd out of this match early on tonight.
00:07:59C.M. Plung!
00:08:00C.M. Plung!
00:08:00I get that.
00:08:01C.M. Plung!
00:08:02Already right off the bat trying to charge up C.M. Plung is this audience.
00:08:07But let me just make it abundantly clear.
00:08:10To insulated Americans, a lot of the international superstars, they're used to these environments.
00:08:16We spend most of our career competing on foreign soil.
00:08:20And in Finn's case, most of his career either in Japan or here in the U.S.
00:08:24This will not phase Finn Balor in the slightest.
00:08:27You know, C.M. Plung's been pissed off as of late, Wade.
00:08:29All the questions coming his way over the past few weeks of why would you take this match?
00:08:34Why would you endanger one of the greatest main events in WrestleMania history against Roman Reigns?
00:08:39What does Punk do?
00:08:41He doesn't back down from a fight.
00:08:42Instead, he always doubles down.
00:08:45He says he wants to be a fighting champion.
00:08:47Yeah, I'm split on that.
00:08:49I respect the fact that he sees it as his responsibility as the World Heavyweight Champ
00:08:53to prove against anyone, anytime that he is the champ.
00:08:57However, we know full well how much Punk wants a win, and I'll emphasize win, in the main event of
00:09:03WrestleMania.
00:09:04Lose tonight, you're not even getting a chance at that, pal.
00:09:07Yeah, Fulton Nelson applied by Balor and now Punk into a pinning combination and a kickout at two.
00:09:13Into a side headlock now.
00:09:14You know, Finn Balor actually credits C.M. Punk and some of the talks that they had leading up to
00:09:20that match in Belfast
00:09:22for, quote, awakening, reawakening, a killer instinct that was dominant for too long in Balor.
00:09:29And here's the kickout again by Punk.
00:09:32Yeah, and we were speaking a little earlier today, Cole, and you were asking me about what Finn Balor might
00:09:37have learned in that first match.
00:09:39And I think the entire demeanor of Balor when he entered here today, you can read it on his body.
00:09:45He is completely relaxed.
00:09:47Why? Because he proved in Belfast that he can hang at the very top level with a world heavyweight champion
00:09:55in this day and age.
00:09:56It's been a long time since he's proven that to himself.
00:09:58He is a completely different man.
00:10:00If there were any doubts in the head of Balor going into that match in Belfast, they've all disappeared today.
00:10:07And again, Wade, listen to how quiet it is right now inside the United Center.
00:10:11Balor doing what he promised to do, not allow this crowd into this match.
00:10:16And that fires up Balor more.
00:10:18And what does it do to the mindset of CM Punk?
00:10:20He expects a raucous atmosphere.
00:10:22Suddenly goes deathly silent in here.
00:10:24Oh!
00:10:25That'll wake him up a bit as Punk delivers a heel kick to the face.
00:10:29Now, Balor's hungry as well, Wade.
00:10:31It's been 10 long years since Balor has held a world title.
00:10:35He was the inaugural universal champion.
00:10:37And remember, he only held that title for 24 hours.
00:10:40Yeah, and the butterfly effect of that incident you're talking about can be speculated about non-stop ad infinitum.
00:10:50Where would Finn Balor's career have gone over the last 10 years had he not been stripped of that championship
00:10:55because of the injury?
00:10:57Punk cover.
00:10:57And Balor kicks out.
00:11:03You expect this pace early on in the match?
00:11:06You know what?
00:11:06I thought Balor was going to come hot out of the block.
00:11:09You mentioned the age of Punk.
00:11:11He's no spring chicken, obviously.
00:11:12He's fighting against father time.
00:11:14And that is something as somebody like Finn Balor, who is renowned for his endurance, needs to use to his
00:11:21advantage.
00:11:21So if I was Balor, I personally want to pick up the pace here.
00:11:24Senior official Chad Patton working this World Heavyweight Championship match.
00:11:29Again, the winner will defend against the Royal Rumble winner, Roman Reigns.
00:11:34Seven weeks at WrestleMania.
00:11:37And here we go.
00:11:38This is exactly what I was talking about from Balor.
00:11:40He's not as big as CM Punk, but he's ready to throw fists in the early goings here.
00:11:45There was a technical start to the match, but that's got thrown out of the window now.
00:11:49Of course, Wade, the United Center, the home of the beloved NHL Blackhawks.
00:11:54It's Punk's favorite team.
00:11:55And does Punk want to turn this into a hockey fight tonight against Balor?
00:12:00I mean, you'll win by Punk or by Krook.
00:12:03But if it is a hockey fight, I think that probably favors CM Punk.
00:12:09He does have probably 25 pounds on Finn Balor.
00:12:12And now Punk after delivering the elbow to the face of Balor.
00:12:21One, two, three, four, five, six.
00:12:27And look at Balor now.
00:12:29Nice switch by Finn.
00:12:31Drops Punk to the mat.
00:12:32He tweaked something in his ribcage there.
00:12:34It was a nasty landing.
00:12:36And if he did, zero, zeroing in on it is Finn Balor.
00:12:42A sixth sense for an injury on an opponent's body.
00:12:45And at this level, with the World Championship hanging in the balance,
00:12:49that is a massive asset for the Irishman.
00:12:52Can you imagine if Balor wins tonight?
00:12:54He turns Mania upside down.
00:12:56Listen, it's WrestleMania season.
00:12:59Anything can happen as Balor now delivers a stop to Punk.
00:13:03Weak it up the midsection for the coup de grace.
00:13:07Well, Finn Balor is sick of being labeled an underachiever.
00:13:11He does feel at times like management, in a way,
00:13:13lost faith in him when he had that injury 10 years ago as a brief world champion.
00:13:19And this is one way to stick it up to management,
00:13:22ripping away their dream matchup at WrestleMania
00:13:24between Punk and Roman Reigns.
00:13:26Balor's got a five count here.
00:13:28Again, working the ribcage.
00:13:30It'll be kicked to CM Punk.
00:13:31Great strategy here by Balor.
00:13:33Not only slow Punk down, but as I mentioned before,
00:13:36soften him up for your finishing blow.
00:13:38Yeah, and here's why you know that initial tweak in the ribcage of Punk was back.
00:13:42You do all you can to hide any form of weakness from your opponent.
00:13:46Punk was trying his best to.
00:13:47He simply couldn't.
00:13:48The tell was there immediately.
00:13:50And Balor is now all over that weakness like a rash.
00:13:53Yeah, Balor doing a great job physically wearing Punk down.
00:13:58This is the belief that is starting to grow in Finn Balor now.
00:14:02And it's the belief that is starting to dissipate from this partisan crowd here in Chicago.
00:14:07Punk has had a great career in Chicago.
00:14:09He won his Intercontinental Championship here when he beat William Regal back in 2009.
00:14:16Who would ever forget the great street fight with Chris Jericho here in Chicago.
00:14:21And how about 2011, Wade?
00:14:23The night that CM Punk defeated John Cena to win the championship in one of the most iconic moments in
00:14:30WWE history.
00:14:32Yeah, blowing that kiss to John Cena.
00:14:35Championship in hand as he left the arena.
00:14:37One of the most iconic shots in wrestling history.
00:14:41Oh, God!
00:14:41Abdominal stretch again working on the midsection of CM Punk.
00:14:44You see Punk screaming in pain here.
00:14:46A tap out by Punk would give the title to Balor.
00:14:49Yeah, Punk has a very high pain tolerance.
00:14:51But barely, barely able to conceal the sheer agony that he's in right now.
00:14:57And Balor attacking with abandon.
00:15:02And I'm not sure Balor has even got out of third gear at this point.
00:15:05That's the scary part.
00:15:10What a predicament here for the world heavyweight champion, CM Punk.
00:15:20Crowd trying to rally against Punk.
00:15:23He's got a bad taste in his mouth after last year's Elimination Chamber when he was in the Chamber match.
00:15:29And it was down to him and Cena.
00:15:30And a Seth Rollins stomp handed the match to John Cena.
00:15:35The bad taste from Elimination Chamber perhaps.
00:15:37Oh!
00:15:38An even worse taste from last year's WrestleMania.
00:15:41We all remember how that went down.
00:15:43Getting stabbed in the back by Paul Heyman.
00:15:45That's why he's so desperate to get back to the showcase of the Immortals.
00:15:49And set the record straight this year in the main event.
00:15:52Yeah, but Punk has really turned things around.
00:15:55Not counting the night that Rollins cashed in on Punk at SummerSlam.
00:15:58Punk has not lost a one-on-one match since late spring of 2025.
00:16:06And now Balor taking the fight to Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:16:13The main event.
00:16:15WrestleMania hangs in the balance here tonight.
00:16:18Let's go!
00:16:19Let's go!
00:16:20Let's go!
00:16:22Let's go!
00:16:22Let's go!
00:16:23Let's go!
00:16:24Let's go!
00:16:27And it's just so easy for Balor to knock the stopping out of Punk here.
00:16:32But Punk resolute!
00:16:41And Punk trying to rally a bit here.
00:16:43An elbow followed by a closed line.
00:16:46Well, now suddenly he's got Finn reeling.
00:16:48Finn Balor has been knocked for a loop by Punk.
00:16:51And Punk now ratcheting up through the gears.
00:16:54The belief is back here.
00:16:55This match is physical as those great 1990s Bulls teams here tonight.
00:17:01And Punk now back to his feet.
00:17:04And he's got Finn in position for a GTS.
00:17:07Finn, though, able to slide behind.
00:17:10And now sending Finn out to the floor.
00:17:13Here comes CM Punk.
00:17:14Punk now with a suicide dive.
00:17:16Dropping Balor ready to our table.
00:17:19Yeah, Punk going high risk at the right time.
00:17:22And the lower back of Finn Balor absorbing all of that abuse from our desk.
00:17:28And this is important for Punk here.
00:17:30It buys him a lot of time, Wade, to try to recover from what's been a banged up midsection.
00:17:35Yeah, I'm not sure time is going to help.
00:17:37That's one of those injuries that kind of gets worse and worse as the match goes on.
00:17:42Punk, for my money, needs to finish this and finish it quick.
00:17:45That's why he sends Balor back into the ring.
00:17:47Punk, a proud man.
00:17:47He doesn't want to take a count-out win.
00:17:49He wants to pin Balor in his hometown here tonight.
00:17:53CM Punk, top rope.
00:17:55Punk off the top rope with a flying clothesline.
00:17:58Cover now by Punk to retain.
00:18:01And a kick out.
00:18:02If you're Roman Reigns, right, and you're watching this match tonight,
00:18:05who do you want to face at WrestleMania?
00:18:06Or does it matter?
00:18:07I don't think Roman Reigns fears any man in this industry.
00:18:12He wants all comers.
00:18:14Bring him on.
00:18:15We'll make it as big as possible.
00:18:18All he cares about is the face at WrestleMania.
00:18:20Or does it matter?
00:18:21I don't think Roman Reigns fears any man in this industry.
00:18:26He wants all comers.
00:18:28Bring him on.
00:18:28We'll make it as big as possible.
00:18:31All he cares about is the gold.
00:18:33And that gold might be coming the way of CM Punk right now.
00:18:36Looking for a GTS.
00:18:37Balor now from behind.
00:18:38Finn Balor, who actually into the cover.
00:18:40Hook of the leg on Punk.
00:18:42And a kick out.
00:18:43Balor actually owns a victory over Roman Reigns in the not-so-distant past.
00:18:48And, of course, we know the history and the rivalry between Punk and Reigns.
00:18:52Well, victories over Roman Reigns are a collector's item in this industry.
00:18:57So Finn Balor has some history with Reigns.
00:18:59And it's a positive history.
00:19:00Even more reason why Finn needs to get the job done here tonight.
00:19:04And Punk dragging himself through his feet.
00:19:06Balor, again, working the midsection.
00:19:08And this has been a great strategy by Balor.
00:19:10Well, you take gifts when they arrive.
00:19:12Oh!
00:19:15Must be shot there to CM.
00:19:16But you take gifts when they arrive in this game.
00:19:18And whatever strategy Finn had coming into the match, immediately he had to pivot once Punk tweaked that ribcage.
00:19:24But wait up.
00:19:25In a position.
00:19:26Finn Balor trying to hang on.
00:19:27Punk looking to hit the go to sleep here.
00:19:31Went for it.
00:19:31Balor rolls him up.
00:19:33Small packages in.
00:19:34And I'm going to kick out by Punk.
00:19:36Punk dips underneath.
00:19:38There's that patented swinging neck breaker by Punk.
00:19:41Cover to retain.
00:19:42Kick out at two by Balor.
00:19:47And Punk just keeps finding answers.
00:19:49I mean, go back to SummerSlam last year with that epic matchup with Gunther that looked completely unwinnable for about
00:19:5798% of it.
00:19:59Punk just hung in there and hung in there and hung in there.
00:20:02Showed his toughness.
00:20:03Showed his resolve and got the dub in the end.
00:20:06And it's been the story over the last month, of course, the win over Braun Breaker, the win over Finn
00:20:11Balor, the win over AJ Styles.
00:20:13Punk has been a fighting champion as we head into WrestleMania season.
00:20:17But will his luck run out tonight?
00:20:22Both men in bad shape at this point in the matchup.
00:20:25That's when you realize it is close to the death here, perhaps.
00:20:30Both men must sense victory.
00:20:32They know their opponent is a badly weakened state.
00:20:35Yeah, Punk now.
00:20:36Nice block.
00:20:37Balor was looking for a suplex there.
00:20:38And Punk drives him into the corner with a big forearm.
00:20:48Boxing the ears of Balor.
00:20:55Punk again is going to have to dig down deep to retain tonight.
00:21:04Trying his best to use that power advantage that has definitely been sacked from that rib injury.
00:21:11And Bauer again going back to the midsection.
00:21:15You don't change your winning formula in this game.
00:21:17That's where all the success has come from for Balor.
00:21:20He's smart enough to know that.
00:21:21Oh, God.
00:21:22And Punk collapsing it wisely.
00:21:24The veteran trying to roll away.
00:21:25But he's still in the drop zone.
00:21:28Finn Balor from the top rope now.
00:21:30Has Punk in his sights.
00:21:31Went for the coup de grace.
00:21:33Punk rolled out of harm's way.
00:21:34And now Punk with a running knee.
00:21:36And I believe Punk's been busted open to the mouth.
00:21:39Has Balor his floor with a clothesline.
00:21:42And that busted open mouth is the least of Punk's worries.
00:21:45That rib cage is where the real damage lies.
00:21:48But it might be for nothing here if Punk can connect on this.
00:21:58Oh, yeah.
00:22:00The elbow from Punk.
00:22:01But again, the midsection giving in.
00:22:04Well, that was exactly what takes the brunt of the landing for CM Punk.
00:22:09No cover.
00:22:10No ability to pounce on a quick three count here.
00:22:14It's, in fact, a slow three count.
00:22:16And that allows Balor to turn it into a pinning combination of his own.
00:22:20And two and a half.
00:22:22So much sapped.
00:22:22Oh, God.
00:22:23Sling blade by Balor.
00:22:24So much sapped out of CM Punk at this point in the matchup.
00:22:27Balor's just a step quicker right now, Wade.
00:22:29But it has to be.
00:22:31And that blood coming from the mouth of Punk.
00:22:35Balor senses victory.
00:22:36He's got gold in his eyes now.
00:22:39Punk looks spent.
00:22:41Physically spent.
00:22:47And Punk, though, exploiting out of the corner.
00:22:50Just a veteran move by Punk there.
00:22:52Taking a beat.
00:22:53Or was it desperate?
00:22:55No, it's taking a beat.
00:22:56A beat to get his senses together.
00:22:58Knowing full well Phil Finn was lining something up.
00:23:01And what a battle we've got going on here.
00:23:03And Punk now.
00:23:03Oh, hold on.
00:23:04Looking for the Anaconda Vice now on Balor.
00:23:06First it was the sharpshooter.
00:23:07Now looking for the Anaconda Vice.
00:23:08He's got it in on Finn Balor now.
00:23:10Submission move.
00:23:11Center of the ring.
00:23:12Is Balor going to tap now to the vice?
00:23:15You're like a long way from the ropes here.
00:23:17That hand is nowhere near.
00:23:18That hand is looking like it's going to tap out.
00:23:20Balor trying to hang on.
00:23:22And Balor able to roll through.
00:23:25Turns it into a pinning combination of his own.
00:23:28And a kick out by Punk.
00:23:32That's something Balor learned from their battle back in Belfast last month.
00:23:36How to counter the Anaconda Vice.
00:23:38We have to be merciless at this level.
00:23:41Forget that you are fighting a human being here.
00:23:43This is your mortal enemy right now, Finn.
00:23:48Final lift.
00:23:49Punk up and down goes Punk.
00:23:50Now he's in position.
00:23:52This could be Balor's opportunity to alter the entire landscape of WrestleMania.
00:23:57Balor from the top rope into a Cunard Ross.
00:24:00He connects to the bad ribs of Punk.
00:24:03Covered by Balor.
00:24:05Pumps the leg.
00:24:06Punk survives.
00:24:11And now what does Balor do, Wade?
00:24:13Oh, what a gutsy kick out from CM Punk.
00:24:17The Cogs are now whirring in the mind of Finn Balor, who thought he was home and dry.
00:24:24Balor just hit his death blow and Punk survived.
00:24:36Ben Balor stared at the entrance.
00:24:38Wait a minute.
00:24:39We mentioned that J.D. and Dom are here.
00:24:41Do you think, well, again, he promised to do it on his own.
00:24:44Maybe a thought ran through his head momentarily.
00:24:46Clearly torn at that point.
00:24:48No sign of the reinforcements as of yet.
00:24:51Oh, wait up.
00:24:52And Punk now powering Finn Balor up into a position for the go to sleep.
00:24:59Go to sleep to the face.
00:25:01But Balor was driven out of the ring with his momentum.
00:25:05And Punk now realizes that the win may have slipped away.
00:25:12Well, that complete indecision momentarily from Finn Balor opened a tiny window,
00:25:18a tiny window, that the world heavyweight champ CM Punk was happy to kick through.
00:25:26Unfortunately, he kicked through a little too hard and no chance of a cover,
00:25:30but there may be a count out here.
00:25:32Count of five now.
00:25:33And again, I told you, Punk does not want to count out victory.
00:25:37He wants a decisive win heading into WrestleMania.
00:25:41And Balor with a sling blade.
00:25:43And that's a heavy, heavy landing on the outside of the ring.
00:25:46Those are thin pads over concrete here.
00:25:49The ribs of CM Punk absorbing all of that impact.
00:25:56And Balor now, shades of a decade ago.
00:26:00This time he drives Punk to a barricade.
00:26:04Is this his moment?
00:26:06Laser focused on the gold.
00:26:08Laser focused on the broken body of CM Punk.
00:26:12Now laser focused on getting him back in the ring
00:26:15and getting the three count.
00:26:17Tossing the dead carcass of Punk back into the ring.
00:26:21Finn Balor could be closing in on the world heavyweight title though.
00:26:25Punk!
00:26:26Wemble to go to sleep again.
00:26:28Balor with another sling blade.
00:26:30Again, Balor a step quicker in this match.
00:26:33Right now CM Punk is swinging at whatever he can.
00:26:36And he's missing.
00:26:38And it's all in the corner now of Finn Balor.
00:26:41And once again in that drug zone.
00:26:43Take two is CM Punk.
00:26:45Punk survived once.
00:26:47Will he survive a second time?
00:26:49Balor from the top rope.
00:26:50Went for the coup de grace.
00:26:52Punk got it straight up.
00:26:53And he turns it down.
00:26:54Punk turns it around.
00:26:56Into a...
00:26:58Into a sharpshooter?
00:27:01He's trying.
00:27:02He's got it!
00:27:03The sharpshooter's in!
00:27:08Remember the sharpshooter in Chicago many, many years ago at WrestleMania.
00:27:13CM Punk now with a sharpshooter locked into Balor.
00:27:17Oh God, all of the agony on the lower back of Balor.
00:27:20Balor managing somehow to break that hole.
00:27:23Man, that was a great counter by Punk.
00:27:26That was an incredible instinctive move there.
00:27:28Catching a flying Finn Balor.
00:27:30And almost getting the victory.
00:27:33Now, Punk are going to step through again.
00:27:36Balor again playing defense here.
00:27:38What a physical battle between these two.
00:27:44When the World Heavyweight Championship's on the line in WrestleMania season,
00:27:48you are going to war for it.
00:27:50It is worth it.
00:27:51That's how big this prize is.
00:27:53Remember, Roman Reigns will be live in Indianapolis Monday night on Raw to confront the winner of this match.
00:28:00Will it be Punk?
00:28:01Will it be Balor to face Reigns at WrestleMania?
00:28:04Will either of these two men be capable of going to Raw at this rate?
00:28:09Bloody, battered, and broken.
00:28:12But refusing to die off.
00:28:14With Balor up on his shoulders.
00:28:17CM Punk going to sleep!
00:28:19GTS cover!
00:28:22Punk will main event Wrestlemania!
00:28:27Here is your winner and still World Heavyweight Champion, CM Punk!
00:28:38Their first face-to-face on Monday Night Raw was explosive.
00:28:45We can only imagine what's in store in 48 hours when Punk and Reigns come face-to-face again.
00:28:57Because, Wade, the stage is set for one of the biggest main events in the history of WrestleMania.
00:29:05Seven weeks, 49 sleeps away from CM Punk and Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight title.
00:29:18And this is how we got there.
00:29:21Finn Balor connecting with that coup de grace.
00:29:24But somehow, CM Punk refusing to be denied in that moment.
00:29:30A broken CM Punk still having the belief.
00:29:34And then connecting with a GTS that blasted Balor so hard, he rolled all the way out of the ring.
00:29:43But followed it up with this through our security barrier.
00:29:48And now laser-focused on that goal.
00:29:51This is what Finn came for.
00:29:53But one mistake.
00:29:54And that was all CM Punk needed to hoist him up for another GTS.
00:29:59This time, a fortuitous landing for the champ.
00:30:03And three counts later, a successful retention.
00:30:07And CM Punk heads to Wrestlemania.
00:30:10What a great performance by Finn Balor tonight.
00:30:14Promised to do it on his own.
00:30:16He did just that.
00:30:17But in the end, it has become a trademark of CM Punk's current World Championship reign.
00:30:24It is the guts.
00:30:25It is the grit.
00:30:27It is the resilience that has made that man the best in the world.
00:30:37We are the guys.
00:30:40We are the guys.
00:30:42We are the guys.
00:30:42We are the guys.
00:30:43We are the guys.
00:30:47We are the guys.
00:31:21I mean, what a show of respect from a true warrior in Finn Balor who, over the past couple
00:31:27of months, has really earned the respect of CM Punk.
00:31:31A respectful and defeat magnanimous in victory and now a double celebration from a couple of champs.
00:31:39What a night it has been for CM Punk and the new women's intercontinental champ AJ Lee.
00:31:47Yeah, a case can be made as the new power couple of WWE.
00:31:55What a night in Chicago.
00:31:56Chicago, the adopted hometown of AJ Lee, the hometown of CM Punk, and now we turn our attention to Las
00:32:06Vegas and WrestleMania.
00:32:15I think the world has been begging for that matchup for years and years, but we are now there.
00:32:22Yeah, Cole cannot wait seven weeks' time in Vegas.
00:32:26It is going to be gangbusters at WrestleMania.
00:32:30And Wade, you and I are going to have the opportunity to sit at ringside in seven weeks and call
00:32:36two of the greatest of this generation.
00:32:39Maybe two of the greatest of all time.
00:32:43This match is personal, it is a grudge match for these two, and it is about the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:32:51And many celebrities enjoying this night tonight, including UFC fighter Michael Chandler from the lightweight division.
00:33:02Yannis is here, two-time NBA MVP, current board for the Milwaukee Bucks, please, Yannis, please come to New York,

00:33:23Yeah, he does.

00:34:00Raquel down for the count here.
00:34:02And then there were two.
00:34:03But Rhea Ripley not to be denied.
00:34:06Denying that moonsault and then nailing one rip-tie to book her spot at WrestleMania.
00:34:12And a showdown with the WWE Women's Champ, The Storm, Jade Cargill.
00:34:18The Storm is coming to Vegas.

00:35:03You know, there's always a backlash to WrestleMania.

00:35:35Thank you, Chicago!
00:35:48Well, Wade, you know, the box is here.
00:35:51You know that surprise box that's been everywhere?
00:35:53Yeah.
00:35:53I think we're going to find out right now what's actually in the thing.
00:35:56Okay.
00:35:57I think it's a major award.
00:36:00Please.
00:36:03Saw at the back of the box earlier, it said, for a G-lay.
00:36:06Oh, will you stop?
00:36:07It must be Italian.
00:36:08Just stop.
00:36:09Should've asked Joe Tess what's in that.
00:36:22Is that...
00:36:24Is that a...
00:36:26...a coffee?
00:36:28Coffee.

00:38:51Wade, what the hell was that?
00:38:54Well, I know that Dan Housen is a little off kilter, but these teeth aren't even clean.
00:38:58They've got bits of parsley in them.
00:39:00Are they, uh, do you think they're real?
00:39:02Oh, well, God, I somehow need to recover from that because, uh, coming up next, it is our
00:39:12main event who's going to go to WrestleMania to face Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship.
00:39:20The chamber match is next.
00:39:39Let me talk to you.
00:39:40Life inside the ring can be a grind.
00:39:42So outside the ring, we like to let loose.
00:39:48Like tearing into a drum solo.
00:39:50Or going full throttle with the EST.
00:39:54Oh, yeah!
00:39:58And living it up in retirement, that's a gimme.
00:40:01Don't you mean it's a snap?
00:40:05Snap into a Slim Jim!
00:40:07Yeah!
00:40:10Yeah!
00:40:31TÄSH
00:40:46It's a jump.
00:40:46It feels good.
00:40:46And to light it up.
00:40:47Do you mean it's a silent thing?
00:40:52Do you mean it's a secret to be believed?
00:40:53Do you mean he should be believed in his relationships?

00:42:31You know, Wheatley American Vodka and WWE

00:43:05The following is the men's Elimination Chamber Match!
00:43:12Two superstars start in the ring,
00:43:17four superstars in individual pods.
00:43:20A random pod door opens at regularly scheduled intervals
00:43:26until all pods are empty.
00:43:29Superstars are eliminated by pinfall or submission.
00:43:35The last superstar standing will be declared the winner
00:43:39and go on to challenge the undisputed WWE Champion
00:43:47Drew McIntyre
00:43:49at WrestleMania 42!
00:43:52Go!
00:44:51Introducing first.
00:44:52From Columbia, South Carolina, playing in at 240 pounds,
00:44:59Trey Williams!
00:45:03The man who was taken Friday night's SmackDown by storm.
00:45:08He beat Carmelo Hayes and Damian Priest,
00:45:11who qualified for the Elimination Chamber match.
00:45:14And Trey Williams' weight has had some success here in Chicago.
00:45:18He beat Ethan Page for the NXT Championship back in 2024
00:45:23when CM Punk was a special guest referee.
00:45:27Yeah, there's a whole lot of strength to Trey Williams,
00:45:30but the biggest strength of all for him has to be this innate confidence.
00:45:35There is no stage too big.
00:45:38There is no spotlight too bright.
00:45:41What a moment it would be for Trey Williams to buck his ticket for Mania.
00:46:05The man does not look intimidated
00:46:10at all.
00:46:15Yeah, this isn't normal.
00:46:23Quite the aura surrounding this young man.
00:46:31Just oozing confidence.
00:46:39It looks like a man that has done this dance
00:46:42ten times before.
00:46:45Completely nothing faze-ing Trey Williams.
00:46:48That is a guy destined for the very top.
00:46:52But how soon is that top coming for Trey Williams?
00:46:55He will be locked inside a pod.
00:47:11First time ever.
00:47:13Testing out.
00:47:16The Elimination Chamber.
00:47:40Next, from Los Angeles, California.
00:47:44Weighed in at 240 pounds.
00:47:48L.A. Knight!
00:47:51The sentimental favorite here tonight.
00:47:54L.A. Knight enters the chamber for the second time in his career.
00:47:58He knocked off the Visions, Austin Theory,
00:48:00and Penta to qualify for this match tonight.
00:48:03And you think Trey Williams has confidence.
00:48:05What about L.A. Knight?
00:48:07Oh man, what an energy battle that is
00:48:10between these two from this crowd.
00:48:12The roof lifted off when Trey Williams entered.
00:48:16And it might have now gone off to orbit.
00:48:19Because the megastar is here in Chicago
00:48:22and he's looking to take it all.
00:48:28Knight will be locked in a pod
00:48:31to start this match.
00:48:33Yeah, and these are the entrances
00:48:35you really want to be a part of.
00:48:37These first four.
00:48:38Because you know from there
00:48:40you've at least got the jump
00:48:42on the two guys
00:48:43who are going to start this thing.
00:48:45Did you ever start the chamber match?
00:48:46Yes, I did.
00:48:47Guess what?
00:48:48I didn't win.
00:48:49I also was in a pod once
00:48:51and I still didn't win.
00:48:53Story of your career.
00:48:54Yeah!
00:48:55Yeah!
00:48:55Yeah!
00:48:55Yeah!
00:48:56Yeah!
00:48:56Yeah!
00:48:59Yeah!
00:49:06Yeah!
00:49:17I'm going to be right here.
00:49:19I'm going to be right here.
00:49:21I'm going to be right here.
00:49:25You know the men.
00:49:51How do we get one of those set on our table out here?
00:49:53Still trying to figure that part out.
00:50:02Next,
00:50:03accompanied by
00:50:04WWE Hall of Famer,
00:50:06the Oracle,
00:50:07Paul Heyman,
00:50:08and Austin Peary
00:50:10from Dorado,
00:50:12Puerto Rico,
00:50:14by way of Cleveland,
00:50:15Ohio,
00:50:17playing in at
00:50:17220 pounds,
00:50:21the Maverick,
00:50:22Logan Paul.
00:50:24A lot to break down here.
00:50:26First off,
00:50:27last night on Friday Night SmackDown,
00:50:29Jey Uso,
00:50:30who was supposed to be in this spot in the chamber,
00:50:32was attacked by an unknown assailant,
00:50:34not medically cleared to be a part of this tonight.
00:50:37So general manager Nick Aldis made a match for the main event,
00:50:41Logan Paul versus Jacob Batu.
00:50:43The winner would qualify tonight.
00:50:46Well,
00:50:46there was some shenanigans.
00:50:47That masked man who's been trying to take out the vision for weeks
00:50:50actually was unmasked by Logan Paul,
00:50:54and it was nobody.
00:50:54Yeah,
00:50:55and I'll say right now,
00:50:57that was an ineffective attack in the first place from the masked man,
00:51:02and I've got to think that is a copycat.
00:51:04I've not heard anything official.
00:51:06We'll wait to see for sure.
00:51:08And then later on in the match,
00:51:09Drew McIntyre would once again stick his nose where it didn't belong,
00:51:14obviously concerned that he'd have to face Jacob Batu at WrestleMania.
00:51:17What does he do?
00:51:18He takes out Batu.
00:51:20He hands the match to Logan Paul.
00:51:22Yeah,
00:51:22and I saw G and Nick Aldis last night.
00:51:24He was bursting with rage with Drew's antics,
00:51:27and there will be severe consequences coming the way of the WWE champ.
00:51:43For Logan Paul,
00:51:45he's got experience inside the chamber.
00:51:47This is the third straight year he's been a part of this matchup.
00:51:51He's been a part of the chamber inside the ring
00:51:54for nearly an hour overall.
00:51:5724 hours ago,
00:51:58he had no idea he was going to be competing in this match.
00:52:02Not only is he competing in it,
00:52:03he's also in a part that's an advantageous position to be in.
00:52:19We now know the final man in the pot in the chamber and we know the two men will start.
00:52:26Shields and the mid-season,
00:52:29Shields and the rich,
00:52:29What's the time to keep
00:52:30Next,
00:52:31from St. Louis,
00:52:32I know the final man in the pot in the chamber and we know the two men will start.
00:52:39Shields and the rich,
00:52:41What's the time to keep
00:52:42Next,
00:52:43from st louis missouri wagon at 280 pounds the viper randy orton you know wade randy orton sets
00:52:56a record tonight entering his 10th elimination chamber match in his career he won one back in
00:53:012014 when he retained the world championship he has eight career eliminations second all time and
00:53:09listen to this if randy orton lasts more than four minutes in this match he will shatter john cena's
00:53:15record for the most time ever spent in elimination chamber matches in their career yeah that is a
00:53:24true veteran very little throws the viper off his game at this point although i will mention
00:53:30that in recent weeks on smackdown randy orton has had numerous problems with a certain alistair black
00:53:37now alistair black has been trying to get into the head of the viper implying that randy now lacks
00:53:44the killer instinct at this point in his career to put down a long time friend such as a cody
00:53:50rhodes
00:53:51who is also going to be in this match with the viper will be very interesting if those two are
00:53:56in the
00:53:56ring at the same point at some time in this match randy orton's had quite the history in chicago
00:54:02back in 2010 he won the wwe championship here won the world heavyweight title here in chicago back in
00:54:112007 as mr hayman stares at us here there's a you i don't offend mr hayman you regularly do
00:54:19austin theory out here as well and remember the vision has fallen on hard times as of late
00:54:25broad break or of course out of action after surgery and ronson reed needs surgery as well
00:54:31very torn biceps fortune's perhaps now turning around thanks to logan's qualification
00:54:37decimated by some bad luck that will all change tonight if logan is victorious but the viper now
00:54:44staring down the newcomer trent williams they've had some issues over on smackdown these past several
00:54:50weeks of course clashed in saturday night's main event a few weeks ago too in that four-way
00:55:01you mentioned it there's been a lot of question and it's earthed randy orton to no end
00:55:09this deep into his career is the viper still the apex predator does he still have the killer instinct
00:55:18when needed you know way to when you're here a long time complacency starts to creep in but randy
00:55:28orton has a goal right he's a 14-time world champion he's within striking distance of john cena's record
00:55:3717 titles he's tied with triple h the third most of all time and that is what drives or this
00:55:45late in
00:55:45his career yeah there's no slowing down either for the viper that is a man who has consistently said
00:55:51he wants to last 10 more years here in wwe and you have to think with that kind of timeline
00:55:58randy orton
00:55:59absolutely has it in his power to be the number one world championship winner in history
00:56:21brandy orton take it is sweet time
00:56:28make them wait
00:56:35oh i thought that was mad housing for a second
00:56:43your boy is bouncy
00:56:59i'm nervous i'm nervous you're bouncy wade
00:57:03the young blood the youngin is here oh boy oh boy does he make me feel on
00:57:11taking his way to the ring from greensboro north carolina
00:57:15leg in at 195 pounds
00:57:18come on
00:57:20be a more jarring difference in experience between two competitors to kick this whole thing off
00:57:26still wet behind the ears is javon evans but ready to shock the world here
00:57:31what a tall task against somebody like cody roads who's done it all quickly into the cover on evans and
00:57:37a kick out cody would be a right to ground javon evans in the early going here yeah do not
00:57:44let go of
00:57:45javon evans if you're cody roads knowing full well the speed of javon evans the fact that he can attack
00:57:50from any
00:57:50angle roll up and a kick out by cody anyone who studied javon evans knows it is the hardest thing
00:57:57in the world to keep this man grounded
00:58:01again we have company at ringside
00:58:04the oracle of the vision paul hayman out here watching uh
00:58:07his charge logan paul compete austin theory out here as well
00:58:12elusive there once again javon evans and cody getting caught a little cold in the early goings
00:58:18here yeah nice hurricane rana for javon evans and talking about getting bouncy
00:58:22sends roads across the ring now here's the problem with javon evans
00:58:25he's hard to uh oh defend against and here's the cover off the knee and cody kicks out yeah no
00:58:32angle is off limits for javon evans he is so resourceful he is so creative he's so unorthodox
00:58:39he throws the kind of moves at you that this industry has not seen before and guys like cody
00:58:45are simply not used to it despite all their experience and the youthful exuberance of javon
00:58:51evans always with a smile on his face understands how huge this is how exuberant are you now
00:58:59young and cody rhodes who has uh shown over the past number of months that he does have that
00:59:05killer instinct he'll do what he has to do
00:59:09all you gotta do is look back at that qualifying match a few weeks ago cody doing what he had
00:59:15to do
00:59:15to advance john evans welcome to the real world of wwe at the very top level it's as inhumane and
00:59:25barbaric as it gets you want to make it to wrestlemania you want to compete for the biggest prizes
00:59:31this is what you have to deal with and it only gets harsher from here an emotional roller coaster
00:59:38during wrestlemania season 49 nights away from the start in las vegas and cody now with the collision
00:59:47takes down evans cover again by rhodes and rhodes is i would say desperate tonight yes and will that
00:59:54come out in the way that he works this match i mean it couldn't have started any worse for cody
00:59:59rhodes the fact that he did not draw one of the pods and he didn't get to rest while the
01:00:03other guys beat
01:00:04themselves up but that isn't going to dawn cody cody's had to win things the hard way plenty of
01:00:09times before he's a guy who always bets on himself and he usually ends up with a winning hand but
01:00:16at
01:00:16some point his doubts start to creep in i mean it's the early goings here ask me again in the
01:00:22deep
01:00:23waters i'm just talking about if cody is still in i'm just talking about in general over the past
01:00:27couple of months of everything cody's been through he's been stopped and thwarted at every turn
01:00:31every opportunity to get to wrestlemania and now evans and rhodes will have to battle a third
01:00:40superstar who will enter the chamber
01:00:51trick williams time for this elimination chamber to get a little flavor
01:01:00and now williams turns his attention to a man he's had some history with
01:01:04javon evans they know each other incredibly well from their time at nxt which was not very long ago
01:01:11just several months ago both locking horns there oh trick williams
01:01:19what were that cyclone boot javon evans was able to evade
01:01:23weakest movement again of javon evans and even trick williams who's used to it and knows all about it can't
01:01:31do anything about it
01:01:33and now trick sending javon off the ropes and javon caught him with a kick
01:01:38not sure he got all of it but it was effective simply dropped trick williams for something more
01:01:44devastating weighed up oh it went for the og cutter and he was intercepted
01:01:49well that's a killer move for javon evans but too fresh was trick williams too powerful
01:01:54manager to block oh god oh god that shot just drops evans
01:02:05again you're in there with a veteran cody rhodes you can't be trash talking it's going to get you in
01:02:09trouble
01:02:11oh god that trick slap across the jaw javon evans completely rocking the youngin
01:02:18and he might be toast here completely groggy
01:02:21again the cyclone boot from
01:02:25trick williams dropping cody rhodes
01:02:36look at javon evans now off the second rope caught by trick
01:02:40now trick with a double choke slam cover now on rhodes
01:02:44cody gets the shoulder up cover now on evans
01:02:49evans able to kick out may have been a little tribute to our friend at nxt
01:02:53booker t a little double bookend right there taking both opponents down
01:02:58you know way we talked about this a few weeks ago the fact that there's so many similarities between
01:03:02trick williams and booker t the way they move in the ring their move set their their size
01:03:07yeah no doubt about it i'll tell you what right now if you are gonna have a mentor in this
01:03:12game
01:03:12why not the five-time wcw champion sucker oh and by the way
01:03:18why not the fitness while groggy's both talking two-time wwe hall of fame of bucket t hey wait
01:03:24shh trick's talking my back
01:03:26he can talk smack just like bucket t too
01:03:29and now cody rhodes
01:03:32going to turn the tables
01:03:36trick driven into the chain link evans caught cody with a kick
01:03:40now a chop of evans again and evans fired up
01:03:47the fourth fan to enter the chamber on his way in 10 seconds
01:04:04logan paul of the vision
01:04:07the visions won hope for a major wrestlemania moment after they got decimated with bad looking injuries
01:04:15and clearly made a ton of enemies in the process
01:04:19the reign of terror over on smackdown
01:04:22and cody rhodes of javon evans and trick williams
01:04:26three-on-one against logan paul want to take out logan as they see they're driving him through the pod
01:04:32and out the other side
01:04:34people just do not like the maverick do they
01:04:37is it jealousy or is it the arrogance of logan paul that sets people out
01:04:42i think it's just that revision
01:04:43and all of it
01:04:48and now javon evans over the top taking out
01:04:51cody and trick williams
01:04:53not the way that logan paul wanted to start this night
01:04:56so the whole aim of logan paul was to
01:04:59it's still a little more belief of prestige back in the vision
01:05:04get him back on track
01:05:05well this couldn't have started any worse
01:05:07for the man who only qualified 24 hours ago
01:05:10and yeah logan's only in this because jay usa was taken out by an unknown attacker
01:05:15oh and there's that tornado splash by javon evans
01:05:19cover now
01:05:20and a kick out by trick
01:05:23just a joy to watch javon evans do his thing
01:05:26that tornado kick right to the back of the head
01:05:28trick williams almost getting the job done there
01:05:31and things have gone south for trick willy in a hurry
01:05:34now cody rhodes who started this match with javon evans
01:05:37goes back on the attack
01:05:41staring up at the wrestlemania sign
01:05:44staring up at the wrestlemania sign
01:05:45clearly a little out of breath right now
01:05:48as cody rhodes is taking a real beating so far in this one
01:05:50he just needs to look over his shoulder and see a fresh man in randy orland and a fresh man
01:05:56in la night waiting to get into this thing it's going to be a long night for cody if he
01:06:01can pull this off
01:06:02oh he better dig down deep because his last chance at a title opportunity at wrestlemania hangs in the balance
01:06:07here
01:06:07as we call must win the qb1
01:06:10cody sent across the ring javon evans now launched out over to the front
01:06:15that hard padding
01:06:17and now logan paul there's that slingshot lariat by logan
01:06:22that is a thing of beauty
01:06:24and i don't care what you think about logan paul and his antics and everything else
01:06:28he is one hell of an athlete
01:06:30he has taken a wwe like
01:06:32no one else in such a short amount of time
01:06:34does paul hayman make mistakes when he acquires a talent for his group for the vision
01:06:41he has undoubtedly succeeded historically and he's doing it again with logan paul
01:06:46as much as i don't want to admit it i don't think paul hayman's ever made a mistake when it
01:06:50comes to talent
01:06:52you saw him walk out here with brock lesnar on monday night raw right
01:06:55and brock issued an open challenge for wrestlemania
01:06:59once in a lifetime athlete
01:07:01and he may have another one on his hands in logan paul
01:07:05who will enter number five
01:07:07again number five more wins than any other number in the history
01:07:10of the chamber
01:07:19l.a. night
01:07:21yeah
01:07:22my loins are a tingling
01:07:25and logan paul's mate
01:07:26of the chamber
01:07:34l.a. night
01:07:36yeah
01:07:38my loins are a tingling
01:07:40and logan paul's maybe too
01:07:42yeah and quite the history between
01:07:44l.a. night and logan paul
01:07:46the vision in general have made l.a. night's life
01:07:49hell
01:07:50of smackdown
01:07:51oh this dates back to summer slam a couple of years ago when l.a. night beat logan paul for
01:07:56the united states championship
01:07:57oh man he turned cody inside out
01:08:00let's not forget that logan paul and bronson reed smashed the body of l.a. night just before christmas
01:08:07yeah tsunami through a car there's the neck breaker by l.a. night and l.a. night only has eyes
01:08:15for logan paul right now
01:08:18gotta be careful how many enemies you make at this level especially when they're all thrown into one match together
01:08:25you see the wealth building on the back of logan paul sure i'm pretty sure that was when he got
01:08:30drove through one of those pods as soon as he entered the match
01:08:33well he's not careful he may be driven through another pod
01:08:40oh no eliminations yet in this match
01:08:43logan paul living dangerously here but managing to somehow negotiate his way away from the boots
01:08:50of l.a. night what was he cooking up here
01:08:53logan paul is not one to shy away from risks
01:08:57there's no escape line in that cage
01:08:59there's a locked roof on the top there however
01:09:02hello hello logan turn around javon evans scaling the the chamber as well
01:09:07both men now up on top of the pod dangerous situation l.a. night now scaling the chamber on the
01:09:14other side
01:09:15one thing i know in situations like this gravity always wins in the end
01:09:20somebody is gonna have a rough rough land ask austin theory about that who's standing right in front of us
01:09:25he came off the top of the pad courtesy of block lesnar
01:09:28and now logan paul sent in to cody and trick just a human missile launched by l.a. night and
01:09:37javon evans to devastating effect and then there were two
01:09:41and now evans in l.a. night battle high above the ring
01:09:47and now evans in l.a. night battle high above the ring
01:09:59precarious situation for these two
01:10:07that was indeed blunt force trauma
01:10:12randy orton enters this match for the 10th time in his career in less than 10 seconds
01:10:19and i think the complexion's about to change
01:10:24the steely eyes
01:10:26of the viper
01:10:28generally the favorite for every match he's ever in
01:10:33even more so when the deck is stacked in his favor
01:10:36in the final pod
01:10:39physical clotheslines
01:10:41there's orton's patented power slam
01:10:47now logan paul runs into one as well
01:10:49just looking at his superlative best
01:10:53tonight just hasn't been going logan's way has it
01:10:59and now randy sends trick williams out to that
01:11:02heavily padded steel and now logan paul launched into trick williams it's been all orton
01:11:08and poor trick williams is taking out a lot of bodies getting thrown his way
01:11:13going to eat every single collision going down in a heap
01:11:17and that is right where randy orton likes his prey
01:11:22all six men still surviving randy orton now
01:11:29vintage orton with a drapey ddt's
01:11:32and it looks like paul hayman's soul just left his body
01:11:36he knows what's coming next
01:11:49randy's going to that place wave
01:11:50where he hears voices in his head
01:11:57la night
01:11:58went for the rko ditto night counters with a ddt
01:12:03and you have to pounce on randy orton when you get the chance
01:12:06it may have been smart to let randy execute an rko on logan paul
01:12:11pin logan paul get rid of logan paul
01:12:13but la night knew his chance to drop the viper was there
01:12:16and he went for it
01:12:17bodies are everywhere
01:12:23javon evans
01:12:25is finally coming to on the top of the pod
01:12:28following the pft by la night
01:12:31and look who's lying on the ground in the drop zone
01:12:38what the hell is javon evans going to do here
01:12:41frog splash from the pod
01:12:45busted his own ribs in the process
01:12:47wait up
01:12:47logan paul now
01:12:49here it is
01:12:49paul marizer
01:12:51paul marizer
01:12:52logan
01:12:53eliminates evans
01:12:57javon evans has been eliminated
01:13:00and for all the physical abuse paul took in this matchup
01:13:05he gains the first elimination
01:13:08there's a bitter taste of reality for javon evans
01:13:11overextended himself without frog splashing in
01:13:14no
01:13:14a predator
01:13:16like logan paul was just waiting to pounce
01:13:19again sometimes that youthful exuberance
01:13:22you get a bit carried away
01:13:24that's the only way you learn lessons in this game
01:13:26by making a mistake like that
01:13:28javon evans
01:13:29nice performance he'll be back
01:13:31cody now sent across the rink by logan
01:13:33cody with a kick to paul
01:13:36la night now
01:13:38with cody up on his shoulders
01:13:40now goes rhodes
01:13:43cover now by night
01:13:46rod
01:13:48kick out at two
01:13:49great job by our official in this matchup
01:13:52rod zapata
01:13:52making sure he was in perfect position
01:13:55microscopic level eyes there from rod zapata
01:13:58shoulder slightly open
01:14:00unforced error there from the megastar
01:14:03which is likely to be increasingly common in this kind of brutal match
01:14:09and now it's randy orton
01:14:13every man for himself inside the chamber
01:14:19and orton just looks so so fresh that's how valuable being in that final pod is
01:14:25a bunch of broken bodies surrounding him throwing very little in the way
01:14:29of randy
01:14:32right into the corner
01:14:33big boot stops randy in his tracks
01:14:41what does knight do here
01:14:43he goes up top
01:14:45he asks the world whose game is this
01:14:48and they reply
01:14:57critical error perhaps by l.a. night
01:15:00he tripped coming off the top rope
01:15:02got caught up in it all
01:15:04may have hurt himself
01:15:05roll up by trick
01:15:07and l.a. kicks out man
01:15:09what a crucial error
01:15:10yeah once again it's this chamber
01:15:12once you've taken that steal a couple of times
01:15:14your body doesn't work the way it's supposed to do
01:15:16but that's the high risk
01:15:17bft
01:15:21trying to pounce on that cover
01:15:22but somehow trick williams bouncing out of the ring
01:15:25oh and a low blow by logan paul
01:15:27completely legal in this match
01:15:31and paul with another elimination
01:15:34l.a. night has been eliminated
01:15:37logan paul eliminates l.a. night
01:15:41and javon evans
01:15:43the referee did not like that at all
01:15:45but very little the referee can do
01:15:46as cheap as it gets
01:15:48a low blow
01:15:49followed by a handful of tights
01:15:51and logan paul
01:15:52starting to make a major mark
01:15:54on this elimination chamber match
01:15:56four men remain
01:15:58logan and cody
01:15:59tricking randy
01:16:01so the entire field
01:16:03basically attacked logan paul
01:16:05the second they got the jets
01:16:06the problem is
01:16:07he rode that out
01:16:08and they may have burned themselves out
01:16:10in the process
01:16:11and now logan paul
01:16:12it's his to win
01:16:13and look at the smile on the face of paul hayman here at ringside
01:16:17as he looks on
01:16:17at the performance that logan paul
01:16:20has had so far in the chamber
