00:00:08Rollins and Reigns shield brethren along with the injured Dean Ambrose.
00:00:13But tonight, start things off in the gauntlet match.
00:00:19And
00:00:20there is a possibility these two would go face to face inside the Elimination
00:00:23Chamber on Sunday as well.
00:00:26They say the time heals all wounds.
00:00:28But you know Seth Rollins hasn't forgotten that Roman Reigns was the man
00:00:31who eliminated Seth from the Royal Rumble match.
00:00:34Rollins gotta be looking for some sort of payback.
00:00:36You know the thing I love about what Seth Rollins has said the last couple of weeks
00:00:39is that he's ready to put his professional life in front of everything else.
00:00:43And he understands that he was once at the top of the game and he wants to get back there.
00:00:47Well, he wants it to be Monday Night Rollins coach.
00:00:50Love it.
00:00:51Seth Rollins says whatever it takes and hashtag gauntlet match.
00:00:55If you wanna talk about this history making match to kick off Monday Night Raw here
00:01:00tonight live in Phoenix.
00:01:02Once upon a time Seth Rollins absolutely lived by the credo, whatever it takes.
00:01:06That's what took Seth to the mountaintop.
00:01:08Some people would argue maybe he's lost a little bit of that edge in recent years.
00:01:11If Seth can regain that sort of fire, the sky's the limit.
00:01:14Well, I think that what crumbled with what has happened the last couple years happened with
00:01:18the knee injury, right guys?
00:01:19That once that happened, he started to have to take a step back because he missed a significant
00:01:24period of time.
00:01:25I think he's back to being 100% healthy.
00:01:27And that's why the bravado is where it is.
00:01:29The only now process for these two men here tonight.
00:01:32Roman Reigns on the other hand, we've talked a lot about Seth.
00:01:35Roman always believes it's Roman against the world.
00:01:38He sent out a tweet over the weekend that said Sunday, Monday, any day of the week,
00:01:41it's always hashtag one versus all.
00:01:45And that's what drives Roman Reigns.
00:01:47He believes that everyone is against him.
00:01:49Roman intimated last week that he wants to find himself in the same career position,
00:01:54the same professional position that he was last year, getting ready to headline
00:01:58WrestleMania.
00:01:59But Roman needs to be careful not to look past Elimination Chamber because that could
00:02:03be a massive pitfall.
00:02:04I don't think they can look past tonight, to be honest with you.
00:02:07Because this is one of those situations, one of those nights that they'll look back on,
00:02:11depending on how it goes for any of these men, as maybe a pivotal night moving forward,
00:02:17heading towards the road to WrestleMania.
00:02:18And you touched on it earlier, Coach, a great opportunity to see where you are stamina-wise,
00:02:22to try to build momentum as you have to go through, in order to win this thing,
00:02:26a number of competitors.
00:02:28Just like you're gonna have to Sunday inside the chamber.
00:02:31However, Sunday, you could have to deal with several competitors at one time.
00:02:35Tonight will always be one versus one.
00:02:37This Sunday in Vegas, different situation.
00:02:39And also tonight, there are count outs, there are disqualifications.
00:02:43We don't have any of that Sunday inside the chamber.
00:02:45I like to compare this to kind of getting, you know the old saying, you never know how
00:02:48you're gonna take a punch in the face until you get punched in the face.
00:02:51You never know how you're going to approach these type of situations until you get in there.
00:02:57Reigns and Rollins, Corey, really in almost a feeling out process in the early part of this match.
00:03:01You're certainly seeing a healthy respect between both of these competitors.
00:03:04Both know how capable the opposition is.
00:03:08Careful not to make any mistake.
00:03:10When you're this familiar with your opponent, the slightest mistake can prove to be the end of the match.
00:03:14Both multi-time WWE champions.
00:03:17Weeprogged by Seth.
00:03:19Nice deep arm drag by Rollins.
00:03:21And Seth now.
00:03:23Ramaz Draw cradle by Rollins.
00:03:24Shoulders down on Reigns and a near fall for Seth and quickly Seth Rollins back on the attack.
00:03:29Looking for the backslide on Reigns, trying to put the big dog away.
00:03:32And again, another near fall.
00:03:34Rollins kicked right to the midsection.
00:03:37Uh-oh.
00:03:38Look at that.
00:03:39The big dog fired up.
00:03:41Rollins taking it to Reigns.
00:03:43Gauntlet match continues live.
00:03:48And before the women get to Sunday, they meet later on tonight in a six woman tag team match live
00:03:53on Raw.
00:03:53But we are in the first match of our gauntlet match tonight.
00:03:57Roman Reigns versus Seth Rollins.
00:04:00All seven men who will compete Sunday at the Elimination Chamber will run the gauntlet tonight.
00:04:05Roman in control at the moment using his size advantage over Rollins.
00:04:10But the Architect continues to fire.
00:04:13And Seth Rollins creating separation.
00:04:16Roman follows it up with a wicked elbow.
00:04:21We already know that The Miz will enter the Elimination Chamber match number one.
00:04:25But there's a possibility that Reigns and Rollins could come in at two and three.
00:04:29Because remember, with seven men now, three men will start the chamber match.
00:04:33And Elias, who comes in last, will have the significant advantage that we've talked about.
00:04:38But we're talking about a 20-25 minute advantage.
00:04:41That is huge in that type of match.
00:04:43Well, just like the last man who enters the gauntlet match tonight, whoever that may be.
00:04:49Whether it be tonight or this Sunday, at Elimination Chamber, there's a real possibility
00:04:53that the last competitor in can basically just pick the scraps, pick the bones of the carcasses
00:04:58of whatever competitors are laying at their feet at that point.
00:05:02Are you doing okay, Corey?
00:05:04I'm having a great time.
00:05:05It's a little rough, carcasses.
00:05:07Only two men out of the seven on Sunday have actually been in Elimination Chamber matches before.
00:05:13John Cena's been in six, he's won three of them.
00:05:16Miz has been in two.
00:05:17Roman Reigns has never been in a Elimination Chamber match.
00:05:21Now there's Rollins, cover by the big dog.
00:05:23Hook of the leg and a kick out by Seth.
00:05:25I gotta be honest, that kind of surprised me that Roman Reigns hadn't been in an Elimination Chamber match before.
00:05:29Did it surprise you, Michael?
00:05:31Indeed, and as Reigns take another look again at the power of Roman Reigns.
00:05:36Well, it's driving Rollins through the mat, but it wasn't enough to keep the Kingslayer down for three.
00:05:41And Corey, remember in the Elimination Chamber, what surrounds the ring?
00:05:44You've got that steel grating outside the ring area.
00:05:47So if Roman Reigns could deliver a slam like that outside the ring, gonna do a lot more damage than
00:05:52we just saw.
00:05:52The structure in and of itself is a weapon, and we've seen guys get so creative over the years
00:05:57and how to use the chamber to best injure and maim their opponents.
00:06:00I think we're gonna see a lot more of that in Las Vegas.
00:06:02And with five guys that have yet to be in the Elimination Chamber,
00:06:06you wonder how they're each going to adapt, and how their game plans will adapt, and how quickly they will
00:06:11adapt.
00:06:11Well, that's Triple H, how dangerous the Elimination Chamber match is.
00:06:15He's been in more chamber matches than anybody.
00:06:17Blockbuster by Rollins.
00:06:19Down goes Reigns.
00:06:20Triple H suffered a severe injury in one, as you see Rollins now.
00:06:23There it is, the sling blade to Roman Reigns, and Rollins starting to build momentum.
00:06:28Rollins favoring his knee a little bit, trying to get the blood flowing back in there.
00:06:31This is what's so dangerous about a match this close to a big match like the Elimination Chamber.
00:06:37If Rollins knee is less than 100%, Sunday, you can count him out.
00:06:40And now Rollins top rope launches himself.
00:06:42There's the flying clothesline, takes down Reigns.
00:06:44In a match like this is a gauntlet match.
00:06:46It becomes paramount to end each match as quickly as possible, minimize your own physical exertion.
00:06:52One of these two superstars is still gonna have five other men to battle tonight.
00:06:56That's a great point.
00:06:57You wanna be successful, but at the same time, kind of protect almost your spot,
00:07:02your spot on Sunday, and also your body.
00:07:04Seth Rollins looking to launch himself.
00:07:07Suicide dive, but he runs into a right hand by Reigns.
00:07:13Roman with that cinder block like right just turned Rollins' lights out.
00:07:19Seth does not wanna be there.
00:07:20Time by position for Reigns.
00:07:23And guys, we're seeing already these two putting it all on the line and you wonder
00:07:26who the next superstar is that's gonna come out here has got to be licking their chops
00:07:32as what they're going to encounter.
00:07:34You're right, and it's impossible to adequately prepare for any particular individual
00:07:38because you don't know who you're gonna step in the ring with next.
00:07:42And Roman Reigns now delivering a clothesline to Rollins, Seth back to his feet.
00:07:49And Reigns continuing the pressure.
00:07:51I wanna get back to a moment to how dangerous this chamber is.
00:07:54The very first chamber match ever when Triple H got hurt.
00:07:56He left that match and immediately went to the hospital where he spent the night.
00:08:00He had a partially crushed trachea.
00:08:04Well, I don't think that we can underestimate.
00:08:07We talk about the physical aspect.
00:08:09We talk about the mental aspect.
00:08:10But what about after the match is over?
00:08:13What about a night like that night?
00:08:14How long did it take for Triple H to come back and physically, emotionally be 100%?
00:08:19Well, Coach, I think a number of our superstars have gone on the record as saying once you
00:08:23compete inside the elimination chamber, you're never the same again.
00:08:26Locked and loaded, Roman Reigns.
00:08:28Rollins center of the ring, look for the Superman punch, Seth caught him.
00:08:30Uh-oh, looking for the revolution knee, but counter with a big headbutt.
00:08:37Reigns again went for the Superman punch, got caught by Seth with a kick to the midsection.
00:08:42Seth's knee hold up.
00:08:43Rollins has Roman Reigns up top, buckle, buckle.
00:08:48Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:08:49Superman punch, using the momentum out of the corner to deliver the punch.
00:08:54Rollins, Reigns bolt down as the gauntlet match continues.
00:09:01And this is still the first match in our gauntlet match tonight, Rollins versus Reigns.
00:09:07And already you're seeing Seth Rollins reach deep into his arsenal,
00:09:10looking to put the big dog away.
00:09:12If Seth hits this, it could be over for Roman.
00:09:15Rollins goes for the punch, slash, nobody home as Reigns rolls out of the way.
00:09:19Again, all seven men in Sunday's elimination chamber match on the WWE Network will compete
00:09:24tonight in this gauntlet match.
00:09:26And look at the condition of both Rollins and Reigns.
00:09:28Both men battered, beaten, and both men, one of these two men is gonna have to go on and
00:09:33compete against more competitors, at least one, possibly five more.
00:09:36You see the height of Seth Rollins, how high he got in the air before delivering
00:09:40the splash as Reigns rolled out of the way.
00:09:42Guys, this goes back to what Seth Rollins was saying.
00:09:45He wants to make Monday night his show again.
00:09:47It is performances like this that will get that done.
00:09:54Both men using one another to reach their feet.
00:09:57It'll be an old fashioned slugfest right here.
00:10:02Look at Rollins fighting back Reigns with the rights as well.
00:10:05I'm not sure you want to get into a slugfest, however, with Roman Reigns.
00:10:09And the big dog now firing back.
00:10:13Rollins on rubber legs right now.
00:10:16Sidesteps Roman, out goes Reigns, Rollins failing some kind of way.
00:10:21He tried this once before, this time suicide dive, takes out Reigns.
00:10:28I don't think Seth's done yet.
00:10:30Well, Rollins knows what it takes to keep the big dog down and
00:10:34a second time for Rollins.
00:10:36The competitive spirit between these two men, despite the fact that normally
00:10:40they're really good friends, that's out the window tonight and I love it.
00:10:43Well, that's what it's gonna be on Sunday in the chamber.
00:10:45Every man for himself for an opportunity to meet Brock Lesnar for
00:10:50the Universal title at WrestleMania.
00:10:53Rollins top rope, what a Superman punch.
00:10:56Good night.
00:10:57Rollins may be out, cover by Reigns, hooks the leg, a kick out by Rollins.
00:11:04Wow.
00:11:05Again, you see some of the heart that Seth Rollins has inside, what he's all about.
00:11:10Seth Rollins came out last week, wanted a WrestleMania moment,
00:11:14has an opportunity to give himself one.
00:11:17Well, if Roman would have connected with this any harder, I don't think Seth would have been
00:11:20conscious by WrestleMania.
00:11:22Look at the impact, right to the jaw of the Architect.
00:11:26But somehow, almost miraculously, Seth Rollins able to beat the referees three times.
00:11:31I'm always amazed how guys compete when nobody's watching, when the lights are not
00:11:36the brightest, but when they're this bright, they're this big, it makes it even more
00:11:40impressive what both are able to do.
00:11:45I think it's also more impressive what both are able to do and willing to do,
00:11:50willing to put themselves through, willing to sacrifice just to say they were the better
00:11:54man on that night.
00:11:55So that's the question, what will they be able to do when they win this particular
00:11:59part of the Gauntlet match?
00:12:01That's a good question.
00:12:06Roman's setting up, has Rollins in his sights.
00:12:14Rollins caught him.
00:12:17Looking for the stop.
00:12:18Reigns though from behind, rolling Rollins up, shoulders down, Rollins slips out.
00:12:23Now it's Reigns in trouble, stacks him up, got him, got him, Seth Rollins, Rollins got Reigns.
00:12:31Roman Reigns has been eliminated from the Gauntlet match.
00:12:35Incredible win by Seth, wow.
00:12:38He took his eyes off of Seth for just a second, a millisecond.
00:12:42I talked to so many people today who believe Roman Reigns was one of the favorites in this
00:12:46match tonight, and he goes out in the first match.
00:12:50Let's take another look at this, Rollins looking for that stomp.
00:12:54Reigns counters into a beautiful O'Connor roll, but Rollins able to shift Roman's momentum just enough
00:13:00for the cover and a three count.
00:13:03Nobody right now is as shocked as Roman Reigns.
00:13:05Let me be clear, we get to see five more like that?
00:13:07Indeed, and there's no rest for the weary because Rollins now has to regroup to face his
00:13:11next opponent.
00:13:13Roman Reigns realized Seth Rollins caught him.
00:13:18I mentioned competitive spirit, you can see the look on the face of Roman Reigns.
00:13:21He's like, hey, you got me this time, good on you.
00:13:42Uh-oh, like I said, no timeouts for Seth Rollins because here comes Big Match John.
00:13:57It's a lively bunch.
00:14:10We're in the middle of a song.
00:14:15Here we go, let's go to work.
00:14:19Indeed, time for Cena to go to work.
00:14:21Second match of our Gauntlet Match Series tonight, John Cena.
00:14:26And look, whoa, goes right after Cena.
00:14:29I don't believe him.
00:14:29Here's the cover by Seth, hook of the leg on Cena, and almost caught him.
00:14:35Rollins ready to go.
00:14:42John Cena has taken control of the Gauntlet Match versus Seth Rollins tonight.
00:14:46Welcome back to Monday Night Raw, everybody.
00:14:48Rollins defeated Roman Reigns in the first match, which means he now faces Cena.
00:14:52And Corey, Seth tried to end this early.
00:14:54Well, Seth realizes he's already at a disadvantage.
00:14:56You're talking about John Cena, one of the greatest of all time.
00:14:58Seth wants any advantage he can get, whether that means attacking Cena from behind or not.
00:15:03Big night here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
00:15:05We're gonna have more about what's gonna happen this coming Sunday at the Elimination Chamber
00:15:09pay-per-view event on the WWE Network in a big contract signing, guys.
00:15:14She shocked the world when she arrived at the Royal Rumble this Sunday in Las Vegas.
00:15:19Ronda Rousey will sign her official WWE Monday Night Raw contract.
00:15:24It's gonna be cool to see Ronda Rousey see the other ladies up close on such a big night for
00:15:28them,
00:15:28but also having the women see her up close for the very first time as well.
00:15:34It happened Sunday on the WWE Network.
00:15:35More on this big story a little bit later on tonight, but now back to the match between
00:15:39Cena and Rollins.
00:15:41And during the commercial break, guys, we also saw Seth Rollins try to pick up a count out
00:15:44victory over Cena to save his strength.
00:15:47Because if he wins this match, he has to face another competitor in the next gauntlet match.
00:15:51Once upon a time when Seth sat atop the mountain, he was not afraid to use his wily instincts,
00:15:56his caginess, his sometimes questionable tactics, but they always got results.
00:16:02That's what Seth needs to do tonight and going forward if he wants to be the champion again.
00:16:06Well, it's about game plan, and I think right now you're starting to put together a game plan
00:16:09that they can utilize on Sunday, and that's the benefit of having a match like tonight.
00:16:14Cena, cover on Rollins, and Cena all business now.
00:16:18John Cena said last week that the road to WrestleMania means having to survive the most
00:16:24unwinnable match in WWE history, that being the Elimination Chamber.
00:16:29And then they have to go on to WrestleMania to take on the most unbeatable champion history
00:16:33in Brock Lesnar.
00:16:36I say all the time that it's not just about how physical you are, how mental you are,
00:16:40but it takes some luck as well.
00:16:42And I think that's what John Cena meant.
00:16:44Again, unwinnable.
00:16:44Cena, cover, shoulders down, and a kick out.
00:16:47And again, the veteran of John Cena realizing, put the match away as quick as you can.
00:16:51Move on to the next matchup.
00:16:53Well, this is also a great strategy by Cena, just wearing down Rollins.
00:16:56Seth Rollins has already spent so much energy in the first match with Roman Reigns.
00:17:00John can just grind on Rollins, just wear him down slowly,
00:17:03with minimal physical exertion on his own part.
00:17:06Yeah, his ring IQ is so incredibly high.
00:17:08I think we're seeing it right here.
00:17:09Not only is he not exerting a lot of energy, but also he's understanding what it's gonna
00:17:14take when the next superstar comes out if he's victorious.
00:17:16Notice how Cena has his legs wrapped around the torso of Seth Rollins.
00:17:20Every time Seth exhales, Cena's legs tighten a little bit more.
00:17:23It's like an anaconda grip on you, just squeezing the breath out of Rollins.
00:17:27Yeah, and Seth Rollins, the longer these matches go,
00:17:29the more air Seth Rollins needs to bring into those lungs.
00:17:31John Cena, six times in his career, has entered the elimination chamber.
00:17:36He's won three times.
00:17:38He once won from the number one position, and he's also won from the number six position.
00:17:44John Cena now continues to wear down Seth Rollins.
00:17:52How much does Seth have left in the tank?
00:17:57Forearm right between the shoulder blades of Rollins.
00:18:01Cena attempts to figure out what's coming next.
00:18:03Oh, right to the side of the face.
00:18:05I think, Corey, you said earlier, it's interesting to watch what these guys will do,
00:18:09how hard they will go, and it's interesting because you can't go 100 miles an hour the entire time.
00:18:18Well, John Cena now looking for maybe a count out victory.
00:18:21I don't disagree with this strategy from John at all.
00:18:24Well, already, Seth Rollins has been involved in this gauntlet match over 30 minutes.
00:18:31Here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
00:18:34He's gonna have to go a lot longer than that if he wants to win this tonight.
00:18:39Four other competitors still to come.
00:18:42And Rollins desperately trying to make it back in.
00:18:45We're on a count of eight now, and he makes it in a count of nine.
00:18:47Just beats the count.
00:18:49And John Cena now beginning to realize if he didn't know already what Seth Rollins is made of.
00:18:55Corey, you've known Seth his entire career.
00:18:58You're close to the man.
00:19:00What keeps him going?
00:19:01Seth thrives on doubters, being told that he can't do anything.
00:19:06Seth will do things that are superhuman just because someone said he couldn't or he wouldn't.
00:19:13Now Cena asking the official to begin to count again,
00:19:15as Rollins has yet to make it back to his feet.
00:19:20Rollins lives his life with a chip on his shoulder, and it's led him to some great success.
00:19:27Look at Cena, in position, ready to attack as soon as Rollins makes it to his feet.
00:19:32The reason he's a 16 time champion.
00:19:35And lead a belly by John.
00:19:37And again, look at the power of Cena.
00:19:39And another one by Cena, driving Seth into the ring.
00:19:43A trifecta of belly to bellies.
00:19:46Cover by Cena.
00:19:47Hook of the leg and a kick out by Rollins.
00:19:50Rollins is still in this, the gauntlet match continues.
00:19:56Seth Rollins is absolutely exhausted as he meets John Cena in Rollins' second match of the night.
00:20:02He defeated Roman Reigns earlier on as he looks to run the gauntlet.
00:20:07Can't tell if it's good sportsmanship or frustration on the part of John Cena.
00:20:12Cena has Seth up top, look for the AA.
00:20:14Rollins buried him with a DDT.
00:20:16Cover, can he put Cena away?
00:20:17Hooks the leg near fall.
00:20:20You gotta wonder, in Seth Rollins' case, is this one of those instances of the ego being too much?
00:20:25Could this end up being detrimental to Seth Rollins' career?
00:20:28Continuing to fight, wearing himself down before the Elimination Chamber match.
00:20:32I know it's about momentum.
00:20:34I know you wanna leave here with a victory, but how much is too much?
00:20:37And to your point, Corey, Seth Rollins has now been in this match over 35 minutes against both
00:20:43Roman Reigns and John Cena, two of the best in the world.
00:20:50Seth Rollins, though, he said he wanted this.
00:20:52He said he wanted to be Monday Night Rollins.
00:20:55He wanted to get back to the top of the mountain, and this is one way of doing that.
00:20:58This is a great way of doing that.
00:21:00Uh-oh.
00:21:00And John Cena looking to power Rollins onto it.
00:21:04Oh!
00:21:05A stunner of some sort.
00:21:06A unique stunner by Cena.
00:21:08Here's the cover.
00:21:09Wasn't pretty, but it was effective.
00:21:11It almost seems like Cena is just trying to get through this with the least amount of energy possible.
00:21:19If John Cena defeats Seth Rollins, Cena still has three more competitors to worry about.
00:21:23I don't know what you're talking about, coach, no energy.
00:21:25Look at that, that stutter by Cena, that was unique.
00:21:28Something we haven't seen, we've seen Cena do very rarely.
00:21:31He's screaming at him, he says, stay down.
00:21:33What's wrong with you?
00:21:35What are you doing?
00:21:36Instead of staying on him the entire time.
00:21:38Now John Cena looking to put Rollins away and advance in the gauntlet.
00:21:49Rollins just flailing about, he's running on instinct at this point.
00:21:55You know what John Cena said last week, he needs to win the chamber.
00:21:59He needs to get back to WrestleMania to take on Brock Lesnar because he has a score to settle
00:22:04with the beast.
00:22:05This is what I'm talking about right here, Michael.
00:22:07Instead of staying on top of him, instead of staying in the corner, he's saying, come on,
00:22:12get up, come on out.
00:22:13Yeah, but coach, I mean, that's exerting energy, just being able to get back to your feet
00:22:17from Seth Rollins.
00:22:18This is probably a wiser move on Cena's part than you realize.
00:22:21And give Rollins a fighting chance as well as he drops Seth with the right hand.
00:22:26I will say that anybody that knows better than John Cena, we're not gonna find him on
00:22:32how much you have to have in the tank to get all the way to the end.
00:22:37I feel good.
00:22:39I feel good.
00:22:41John Cena telling Seth, hey, I'm still in good shape.
00:22:45Haven't even broken a sweat yet as he delivers another right.
00:22:48And Rollins continues to get punished.
00:22:51Rollins can barely support his own body weight at this point.
00:22:53There's a bunch of guys in line back there, there's a bunch of guys in line.
00:22:55What do you say, Seth?
00:22:56I feel great right now.
00:22:58Get up.
00:22:59You're stopping, man.
00:23:00Get up, man.
00:23:00You want to do this again.
00:23:02You want to do this again?
00:23:03You want to do this again?
00:23:05All right.
00:23:05Just heard the official ask Rollins and Rollins said, I'm not stopping.
00:23:09Listen, I mean, if I'm Seth Rollins, I'm thinking maybe it's time to hit the showers.
00:23:13You know what, this is, you've put on a great effort.
00:23:16You've already defeated Roman Reigns tonight.
00:23:19Don't get greedy, Seth.
00:23:21Straight right, cover by Cena.
00:23:23And Rollins this time at one.
00:23:25This would be a tough one.
00:23:32Rollins barking back at Cena.
00:23:34Now Rollins is fired up.
00:23:35And here we go, Cena and Rollins.
00:23:38I don't know what just started pulsing through the body of Seth, but it was
00:23:42effective for a moment, but Cena just flattens the architect.
00:23:46Elbow, cover.
00:23:47Can John put him away?
00:23:48Another kick out by Rollins.
00:23:49This would be a tough ask if he came out and it was one-on-one at the start of
00:23:54the
00:23:54gauntlet, but to ask him to beat John Cena after going and defeating Roman Reigns.
00:23:59Yeah, 15, 20 minutes with the big dog.
00:24:01Yeah, but here's the deal, coach.
00:24:02I mean, what if Rollins enters number two on Sunday?
00:24:05He's gonna have to go through everybody in the chamber.
00:24:07I agree.
00:24:08So you can't make excuses tonight because it's a gauntlet match.
00:24:11You could find yourself in the same situation come Sunday.
00:24:13I just said it's a tough ask.
00:24:14I made the analogy to coach earlier in the day.
00:24:16If you're a football team and you go 14-1, sometimes you take that last week off,
00:24:20you sit your starters because you know the playoffs are coming.
00:24:23There's gotta be a count out here.
00:24:24Rollins driven off the apron, he hit hard, and the official will begin the count.
00:24:28Again, just stay down, Rollins.
00:24:30No parallel to Sunday here, though.
00:24:32There will be no count outs inside the elimination chamber.
00:24:37But a count out will end this match.
00:24:40At least this portion of the gauntlet match.
00:24:42After all Seth Rollins' body has been put through tonight.
00:24:45You can't honestly tell me six nights from now, he will be in good condition.
00:24:50Count of nine by the official, Rollins drags himself barely.
00:24:54This is amazing.
00:24:55Back into the ring, Cena can't believe the heart of Rollins.
00:25:04And the seven men in the chamber match Sunday on the WWE Network are competing
00:25:09tonight in a gauntlet match.
00:25:11Seth Rollins has already defeated Roman Reigns, but now he is struggling with John Cena.
00:25:15Already, Rollins has been involved in 44 minutes of action tonight.
00:25:21And let's just say, hypothetically speaking, Rollins somehow gets past John Cena.
00:25:26Who knows how much longer Seth's gonna have to be in that ring,
00:25:28competing with high level competitors tonight.
00:25:34Again, John Cena stalking Seth Rollins.
00:25:38And Cena with a shoulder tackle.
00:25:41And another one to Seth Rollins.
00:25:46You can see Rollins throwing hands.
00:25:48There wasn't much behind it, but he had enough to counter.
00:25:50And now Seth Rollins is gonna fight back, launched out to the apron.
00:25:54Rollins with something left in the tank as he delivers a right to Cena.
00:26:01Rollins picked out of the sky.
00:26:03And now looking for the STF, Cena's got it.
00:26:06In the center of the ring, Rollins can't hang on.
00:26:09There's no way.
00:26:10It's over.
00:26:11It's over.
00:26:13It's over.
00:26:13You heard Cena saying it's over.
00:26:15Rollins trying to drag himself to the bottom rope.
00:26:18Cena will pull him back to the center of the ring.
00:26:20But that may have been a critical era.
00:26:23Seth Rollins with a swing blade.
00:26:27Here's the cover.
00:26:28Can he do it?
00:26:28Kick out at two.
00:26:32Still see Rollins favoring his, not sure if it's his knee or his hip.
00:26:36He's been clearly bothering Rollins throughout the duration of the match,
00:26:40since Roman Reigns was in the ring.
00:26:42And you gotta give credit where it's due.
00:26:44Seth Rollins continues to fight.
00:26:46Yeah, I'm never one to question John Cena or the game plan that he's going to implement.
00:26:50But I feel like the stalking tactic to save energy may be backfiring just a little bit right now.
00:26:57I think maybe you're right, coach.
00:26:58I think maybe it's time for one of these superstars to stomp on the gas pedal and
00:27:01try to end this thing quick.
00:27:02Rollins trying to do that now as he parries Cena in the corner.
00:27:06And there's a suplex and this will set Rollins up if he can get Cena off his feet.
00:27:11Can't quite do it.
00:27:12Cena rolls him up, shoulders down and a kick out.
00:27:15Maybe the bad leg came into play there, Corey.
00:27:16Or exhaustion.
00:27:17And we've seen Seth perform that same combination numerous times,
00:27:21just not enough left in the tank.
00:27:23And again, to me, this is a calculated mistake.
00:27:34And Rollins kicks Cena in the face.
00:27:37Now a boot to the midsection.
00:27:39Rollins may have Cena where he wants him.
00:27:41Cena's in trouble.
00:27:42Rollins looking for a major victory here.
00:27:45And Cena at two.
00:27:47Cena doing the smart thing, rolling to the outside.
00:27:50I don't know where Seth Rollins is getting this from, digging down deep inside.
00:27:55But I think it should be obvious to John Cena now that Seth Rollins is not just going to go.
00:28:03He's going to have to beat him.
00:28:08And now John Cena looking to fight back into this.
00:28:11We talked about it a few minutes ago.
00:28:13This is exactly the sort of mentality that's led Seth Rollins to be successful in the past.
00:28:18We at this table, a lot of people in the audience here are saying, Seth, enough is enough.
00:28:22That's exactly what Rollins needs to hear because he's gonna kill himself to prove you wrong.
00:28:26Well, Rollins trying to bring in John Cena the hard way with a suplex.
00:28:29And John Cena able to power Rollins over the rope out onto the apron.
00:28:35And now, now Cena sidesteps Rollins who goes shoulder first into the post.
00:28:40Every time it feels like Seth might be getting just a little bit of offense.
00:28:44John Cena.
00:28:45Nobody hold.
00:28:46Rollins out of desperation perhaps, diving out of the way.
00:28:51Cena shoulder first to the steps.
00:28:52And now the official begins the count.
00:28:55Yeah, but that could hardly be considered an offensive maneuver from Seth Rollins.
00:28:58That was luck.
00:28:59As I was saying, every time he gets a little bit of offense, he's able to move out of the
00:29:02way.
00:29:03But this is a critical moment for both these men, especially Rollins.
00:29:07The official at a count of five.
00:29:09Could we see a double count out here in this gauntlet match?
00:29:14Count of seven.
00:29:15Rollins starting to stir.
00:29:17A count of eight by the official.
00:29:19Does that just mean the next competitor has a free pass?
00:29:21Cena back to his feet.
00:29:23Cena and Rollins just beat the count.
00:29:25I can't believe they beat the ten count.
00:29:30Survival.
00:29:31That is what it was about there for Seth Rollins.
00:29:34We are live in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:29:37A city that knows all about the Elimination Chamber.
00:29:40It hosted the second Elimination Chamber match in history, SummerSlam 2003.
00:29:46And again, the men in the gauntlet match tonight.
00:29:48We'll meet in the Elimination Chamber Sunday on the WWE Network.
00:29:52And there's such a big prize on Sunday.
00:29:54Tonight, it's about pride.
00:29:56And the competitive spirit is off the charts.
00:30:00John Cena with a five knuckle shuffle, Vintage Cena.
00:30:03Now he sets Rollins up for the AA.
00:30:05Rollins up on his shoulders.
00:30:07John Cena looking, look at Rollins.
00:30:09Able to slip through, shoulders down.
00:30:11And what about the fight in Rollins?
00:30:14Uh-oh, Rollins, cross face locked in.
00:30:17On John Cena, center of the ring.
00:30:19Will Cena tap?
00:30:20Will John Cena tap out to Rollins?
00:30:23I cannot get over Seth Rollins in his performance here tonight in this gauntlet match.
00:30:31It seems to be locked in and smack dab in the middle of the ring.
00:30:35Cena trying to fight out of it.
00:30:37Looking to power his way out.
00:30:39And if there's one man that can do it, it's John Cena.
00:30:43And look at the strike at Cena.
00:30:45Ridiculous.
00:30:46Uh-oh, not where Rollins wants to be.
00:30:49Not at all, looking for the attitude adjustment.
00:30:52Cena, Rollins landed on his feet.
00:30:55Got him with a step up in Zagiri.
00:30:57And now, Rollins with Cena, center of the ring, looking to fly.
00:31:02Don't do it, Seth.
00:31:03You don't have enough left.
00:31:04High risk.
00:31:05Frog splash connecting.
00:31:08Can Rollins pull off a miracle by Cena too?
00:31:12Well, Seth Rollins said he wants to once again be the man on Monday Night Raw.
00:31:17And a night like this will do a great deal for that cause.
00:31:22Seth Rollins just passed the 50 minute mark tonight.
00:31:26First reigns, now Cena.
00:31:28Look at this.
00:31:29You know Seth Rollins legs have got to be burned, and his lungs are on fire right now.
00:31:33But somehow musters up enough power to leap from the top rope halfway across the ring,
00:31:40and nearly topple John Cena.
00:31:42I'm not a guy that believes in moral victories, and I'm quite sure that Seth Rollins is not either.
00:31:45But if there ever was one, tonight would be it with the effort that he is putting in.
00:31:51Would you say, Cole, over 50 minutes now, Seth Rollins?
00:31:54Trust me, you're in a ring half that long.
00:31:56Your legs get weak.
00:31:57You get wobbly.
00:31:58You don't get stable.
00:31:59Seth Rollins, I don't know where this is coming from.
00:32:01And John Cena now.
00:32:02Explosive move to Rollins.
00:32:05That's it.
00:32:05And Rollins night is over.
00:32:07Cena with the- Wait a minute.
00:32:09Wait a minute.
00:32:10Did he kick out?
00:32:11Did Rollins kick out?
00:32:13He kicked out.
00:32:14The official said two.
00:32:16I think you got a little bit ahead of yourself, Cole.
00:32:20I don't blame him.
00:32:21After everything Rollins has been through tonight, to be able to kick out of the AA.
00:32:25Let's take a look at this for sure.
00:32:27AA right on the money.
00:32:29One, two, Seth Rollins clearly got the shoulder up.
00:32:34This match continues.
00:32:36And if Cena wasn't frustrated before,
00:32:38he is most certainly frustrated now.
00:32:43It's incredible, Corey.
00:32:44You spent over a decade in the ring.
00:32:46And you mentioned being in the ring for 50 minutes.
00:32:48But he hasn't only been in the ring over 50 minutes.
00:32:49He's been in the ring for over 50 minutes against two of the best in the world,
00:32:53Roman Reigns and John Cena.
00:32:55Well, if you're not gonna add Seth Rollins to that elite list of best in the world
00:32:59after tonight, you gotta be crazy.
00:33:00No way.
00:33:01Look at Rollins, superplex.
00:33:04And Rollins now with a falcon arrow to Cena.
00:33:08Can he do it?
00:33:09Can Rollins do it?
00:33:10Hooks the leg.
00:33:12What an incredible night here on Monday Night Raw.
00:33:16We've been talking a whole lot about Seth Rollins and being out here first with Roman Reigns.
00:33:22We're now getting to that point with John Cena that if he wins this match,
00:33:27how much would he have going forward?
00:33:28Take a look at this.
00:33:30First, the superplex.
00:33:31I don't know where Rollins gets it, but it ended up Falcon Arrow.
00:33:34You can see, didn't land exactly like Seth wanted.
00:33:38But I'm sure still did a significant amount of damage.
00:33:41That young man, his face says it all.
00:33:44And think about this.
00:33:45Guys, we're not even halfway through this gauntlet match.
00:33:47There are still four competitors to compete tonight.
00:33:50And all four, I guarantee you are licking their chops.
00:33:54You're absolutely ready to come out.
00:33:56Rollins went for the stop, he got caught by Cena.
00:33:58Cena picked him out of thin air.
00:33:59Here we go, center ring.
00:34:01Don't forget the hip or the knee, whatever Seth Rollins is favoring on the left side.
00:34:05This has gotta be agonizing.
00:34:07Rollins has gotta tap, he's gotta preserve himself for Sunday.
00:34:09He's gotta preserve himself for the chamber match.
00:34:11I agree.
00:34:12But Rollins still fighting and forces another break.
00:34:15And John Cena's gotta be beside himself,
00:34:17trying to figure out what he's gotta do to put Rollins away.
00:34:22Rollins just uncharacteristically off target.
00:34:24And a good bit of the ring.
00:34:25Now this is it.
00:34:26You can credit that to, look at this, look at the torque on Rollins' knee.
00:34:31Look at John Cena just powering through.
00:34:33Seth may not make it to Elimination Chamber at all.
00:34:37Ladies and gentlemen, this is Monday Night Raw.
00:34:40We are entering our number two and our gauntlet match is still underway.
00:34:44Seth Rollins has been in this match nearly 55 minutes.
00:34:49And he again forces another break against Cena.
00:34:52We kicked off the night tonight with Rollins beating Roman Reigns.
00:34:55And now he's in a battle against Cena.
00:34:58And there are still four more competitors to compete in the gauntlet match live on Raw.
00:35:03It's amazing when you think of some of the great performances over the years of guys that have
00:35:07gone quote unquote 60 minutes.
00:35:10We potentially have a guy that could go 90, 100 minutes if it takes that long.
00:35:16I'm sure if it's up to Seth Rollins, if he has any say in the matter,
00:35:18that's the last thing he wants six days before the Elimination Chamber.
00:35:22Or maybe it isn't.
00:35:23Fight back into the ring.
00:35:24You know, only one other match in the history of Monday Night Raw went an hour.
00:35:27That was Triple H in an Iron Man match.
00:35:30This gauntlet match is already over and closing in on that 60 minute mark.
00:35:36And John Cena now, it's Seth Rollins battling up on the top rope.
00:35:43Cena looking for that Hail Mary.
00:35:44This will end it if John Cena lands this.
00:35:48Cena with Rollins on his shoulders.
00:35:51John Cena looking to put Seth away.
00:35:53But look at Rollins, the Kingslayer continues to fight back.
00:35:59Caught.
00:36:00Cena gonna roll through, but- No way.
00:36:02No way.
00:36:03You gotta be kidding me.
00:36:04Seth Rollins, that's something John Cena does.
00:36:07Rollins powering Cena.
00:36:09No.
00:36:09And A-R to Cena.
00:36:11You gotta be kidding me.
00:36:13Cover.
00:36:14Cena kicks out.
00:36:17My goodness.
00:36:18That is one of the most incredible feats of strength I have ever seen.
00:36:23I mean, John Cena does that.
00:36:26Not Seth Rollins.
00:36:27You gotta wonder if- John Cena does that.
00:36:29Seth Rollins even realizes what the hell he's capable of right now.
00:36:32Look at this, 50 something minutes into a match.
00:36:35Picking John Cena up, delivering an AA.
00:36:38I don't know how Cena kicked out.
00:36:41I don't know where Rollins is getting his power from.
00:36:43This is ridiculous.
00:36:45In the best way possible.
00:36:47I can't believe this.
00:36:49I mean, hey guys, think about it.
00:36:52We still have four more guys to enter the gauntlet match.
00:36:56Right now I'm thinking about that guy.
00:36:57I'm thinking about- This is incredible.
00:36:59If you wanna be- This is incredible.
00:37:00Monday Night Rollins, sometimes it's about making history.
00:37:03It's about doing things that have never been done before.
00:37:06And I'm thinking about right now, if this match were to end right now,
00:37:09I'm going home happy.
00:37:10Exactly.
00:37:10This has been unbelievable.
00:37:14I mean, Seth Rollins, if there are any doubters, you shut him up.
00:37:18There's no doubt about that.
00:37:20What Rollins lives to do, wants to go down as the greatest there is.
00:37:30Seth Rollins has taken to the skies already in this match.
00:37:33One time it cost him, the other time he connected.
00:37:36And now, went for the Phoenix Splash.
00:37:39Cena rolled out of the way.
00:37:40Rollins up on his shoulders again.
00:37:43Hey, hey.
00:37:44John Cena rolls through.
00:37:46Look at the power of Cena.
00:37:49And now Rollins steps behind.
00:37:51He got him with a knee.
00:37:54Rollins has got him in position.
00:37:57The stop, the stop to Cena.
00:37:59Can Rollins capitalize?
00:38:01Seth drags himself to the cover.
00:38:03Shoulders down.
00:38:05Rollins step.
00:38:06He did it.
00:38:12John Cena has been eliminated from the gauntlet match.
00:38:17You want to make Monday night yours?
00:38:18That's exactly how you do it.
00:38:22You want to call your shot like Seth Rollins did, and just run through the competition.
00:38:27John Cena, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, what he just did is absolutely historic and ridiculous.
00:38:33Well, next up is Elias, and normally Elias will sing his way to the ring.
00:38:38But there's an urgency in Elias tonight, trying to take advantage of a punished Rollins.
00:38:42Cover by Elias, and Rollins kicks out at two.
00:38:45What a smart move by Elias.
00:38:46Hey, I don't like Elias, but this is great strategy.
00:38:49Maybe Braun Strowman breaking that bass guitar over him last week sets up loose.
00:38:54Elias is- Cover by Elias again.
00:38:55Hooks the leg.
00:38:57Rollins still in this, and he's been in this match over 58 minutes.
00:39:01This may be as aggressive as I've ever seen Elias.
00:39:04Again, a cover by Elias.
00:39:06Hook of the leg on Rollins, and a kick out.
00:39:09Seth Rollins is still in this, folks.
00:39:11He's still alive.
00:39:15This gauntlet match on Monday Night Raw features the seven men involved in
00:39:19Sunday's Elimination Chamber match.
00:39:21Seth Rollins, who finds himself in a half crab at the hands of Elias,
00:39:24has been in this match already over one hour.
00:39:29Rollins defeated first Roman Reigns, then John Cena.
00:39:33Now he battles Elias.
00:39:35Meanwhile, our broadcast colleague Renee Young standing by with a special guest.
00:39:43John, obviously a tough loss here for you tonight.
00:39:46How do you plan on picking up the pieces moving forward into Sunday's Elimination Chamber?
00:39:49Well, first of all, I'm taking nothing away from Seth Rollins.
00:39:52It takes a certain breed of individual to label himself Mr. Monday Night.
00:39:56And Seth has all the attributes to actually state that claim.
00:40:00But his focus is solely on being Mr. Monday Night.
00:40:04I made a sympathetic mistake in there, which I shouldn't have.
00:40:06I was amazed by his resiliency and bravery.
00:40:10But at the same time, and I think it's globally known,
00:40:13that I'm trying to balance a lot of things at once.
00:40:16And a superstar like Seth Rollins can focus his attention on this and only this.
00:40:20And I still have to find my way of trying to do everything at once.
00:40:23And I'm not saying it's impossible, and if they got the right person to do it,
00:40:26I'm not gonna give up and I'm gonna keep trying.
00:40:28But this is a call to action to myself, because Sunday it's not one man.
00:40:32It's every man in the chamber, and it's a brutal structure that the chamber is.
00:40:35And I've said it, I need to win the Elimination Chamber.
00:40:39But for the first time in a decade and a half, I don't have a road to WrestleMania.
00:40:44So I got six days to sort myself out, I'm gonna get to work.
00:40:47Best of luck on Sunday.
00:40:49Well, John Cena looking at it, glass half full,
00:40:52trying to take advantage of what he learned in this match tonight heading into Sunday.
00:40:56But guys, the story now goes back to Seth Rollins.
00:40:58It's second hour now in action here tonight on Raw.
00:41:02Well, John Cena just said it too, he was sympathetic.
00:41:05Sorry, I don't mean to cut you off, Coach, but Rollins' knees in a very bad way.
00:41:08You can see attempted to land and couldn't even support his own body weight.
00:41:11Elias has done a great deal of damage to the Kingslayer.
00:41:13Which means Seth Rollins in the chamber with a bad knee,
00:41:16that is not good ingredients for success.
00:41:18Yeah, part of the problem about the knee, guys, is that through Roman Reigns,
00:41:21through John Cena, Seth Rollins has taken it all the way to the limit despite.
00:41:26Having somewhat of an injury and that could be a devastating factor going forward.
00:41:30Elias has wasted no time targeting the injury that has already been existed when
00:41:34Elias got into the ring.
00:41:35And if Rollins can somehow target the injury that Elias suffered last week,
00:41:39you see his ribs taped up, that's because Braun Strowman blasted a huge bass guitar
00:41:44into the small of the back of Elias last week.
00:41:47Listen, Seth Rollins has taught the world a lot tonight.
00:41:49Never say never, you can't count out the Kingslayer.
00:41:52Back to the bad knee.
00:41:53And let's remember that somewhere-
00:41:56A kick caught him on the jaw.
00:41:57Rollins into the cover.
00:41:58Can he knock off another man and a kick out?
00:42:01Braun Strowman is somewhere in this building, guys.
00:42:04And he is waiting for his turn in the gauntlet.
00:42:07Look at Elias full of speed ahead, but Rollins delivers a picture-perfect super kick to
00:42:14halt the Troubadour's momentum.
00:42:18Elias will enter the Elimination Chamber match in the final position Sunday, number seven.
00:42:23Three!
00:42:23He will be released from the pod last, giving him a huge advantage.
00:42:28Rollins launches himself over the top rope, down goes Elias.
00:42:31But again, are all these high risk maneuvers necessary, Corey?
00:42:35Because Seth continues to hurt the bad knee.
00:42:38Listen, I don't think Seth Rollins cares at this point.
00:42:41I don't know if Seth's even thinking this isn't about strategy or game plan.
00:42:44This is about survival for Rollins.
00:42:46And once the adrenaline wears off, I'm sure Seth is gonna regret every moment he's spent in this ring tonight.
00:42:50Let's remember what John Cena just said, Seth Rollins is focused on being Mr. Monday night.
00:42:56And Elias with a kick to the face.
00:42:58That could be a mistake, and a knee right to the jaw.
00:43:02And Elias looking to put Rollins away.
00:43:04Uh-oh, they're stripped away.
00:43:06Cover by Elias is the run over for Rollins, it is.
00:43:13Seth Rollins has been eliminated from the gauntlet match.
00:43:17Well, if tonight is any sort of indicator as to what Sunday will be, Elias can use that
00:43:22last entry to his advantage big time.
00:43:24Seth Rollins battled for one hour and five minutes here tonight with victories over
00:43:31Roman Reigns and John Cena.
00:43:33What an effort by the Kingslayer.
00:43:35I don't think it's an overstatement at all to say that Seth Rollins had a career-defining night
00:43:39here in Phoenix.
00:43:40Well, I think that's correct, but career-defining on Sunday could mean doing this
00:43:44and still this not being enough to go to WrestleMania.
00:43:48Well, unfortunately, you're absolutely right, Coach.
00:43:54Hats off to the Architect.
00:43:56And the WWE Universe with a great round of applause for Seth Rollins.
00:44:02And man, did Seth deserve it tonight?
00:44:03One hour and five minutes of action against the best in the world.
00:44:08No breathers, no breaks, no timeouts.
00:44:12Iron sharpens iron.
00:44:14If there's any doubt that Seth Rollins isn't one of the best in the world.
00:44:18Well, the ovation is not-
00:44:22Well, the gauntlet match is not over.
00:44:24Three men still must enter, including the first ever Universal Champion.
00:44:45Phoenix, Arizona, welcome to Balor Club.
00:44:52Elias and Finn Balor have quite the history.
00:44:55Remember, Elias once used his guitar on Finn Balor.
00:44:58And Balor into the ring, match underway now between Balor and Elias.
00:45:02You can see the healthy amount of respect from Finn Balor for
00:45:05Seth Rollins for what Seth just did.
00:45:07You know, guys, I'm sorry, Corey.
00:45:08But the shoe's on the other foot now.
00:45:09Elias has now been in the ring and is at a disadvantage to a fresh Finn Balor.
00:45:13And many people I've talked to over the past number of days believe that Finn Balor may
00:45:17indeed be the dark horse in this chamber match come Sunday.
00:45:20Well, he might be the dark horse.
00:45:22I think he's certainly the fan favorite.
00:45:23Cover by Finn, hooks the leg on Elias, and a kick out at two.
00:45:28I think we have several men in the elimination chamber, guys, that have something to prove.
00:45:34That if they were victorious, for a lot of reasons, it would be a very, very good story
00:45:39heading to WrestleMania.
00:45:40Well, Finn Balor has a lot to prove.
00:45:41Remember, he won the Universal Championship a couple of years ago at SummerSlam and
00:45:44only held the title for 24 hours before relinquishing it due to injury.
00:45:49Feels like he's gotta climb back to the top of the mountain.
00:45:52Climbing to the top of the ropes now.
00:45:53Could we see a coup de grace?
00:45:54And Elias wisely rolls out of harm's way.
00:45:58Balor Elias continues in the gauntlet match.
00:46:05This gauntlet match tonight, live on Monday Night Raw,
00:46:07features all seven men in Sunday's Elimination Chamber match on the WWE Network.
00:46:13Seth Rollins defeated Roman Reigns and John Cena to kick the night off.
00:46:16Elias would beat Rollins, and now Elias and Finn Balor squaring off.
00:46:21Elias was able to weather the early storm of Finn Balor.
00:46:24This extra aggression we've seen, Elias never short on it.
00:46:27But tonight seems to kick things up to the next level.
00:46:29And I like it, I think sometimes you've got to have something,
00:46:32almost like a light switch turned on inside of you to say, if I wanna go to the next level,
00:46:36and I wanna be at the top, I've gotta have that killer instinct.
00:46:39Who wants to walk with Elias?
00:46:43Elias- Still don't wanna walk with Elias.
00:46:45Very confident Elias, he enters the chamber in the number seven position.
00:46:50Renee Young standing by, and I cannot wait to hear what her guest has to say
00:46:53about his performance tonight.
00:46:56Seth, an incredible performance from you tonight in the gauntlet match for
00:46:59an hour and five minutes, defeating both Roman Reigns and John Cena.
00:47:03What from tonight can you take away to apply to Elimination Chamber this Sunday?
00:47:07I mean, yeah, you know what, I pinned two of the best in the world.
00:47:14Two of the best all time back to back in one night, and I guess that's something,
00:47:18you know, that's something to hang my hat on.
00:47:19But the truth is Renee, it doesn't mean anything if I don't win the Elimination Chamber on Sunday.
00:47:29Thank you very much for your time.
00:47:31That right there in a nutshell, guys, is how much pressure all seven of these men are putting
00:47:35upon themselves heading to Las Vegas on Sunday, because the winner of the Chamber
00:47:39match gets the Universal Championship opportunity in the main event at WrestleMania.
00:47:43The pressure to be at WrestleMania is real.
00:47:45That pressure is as real as it gets for all of these guys and ladies,
00:47:50because you never know if you get to one if you're gonna get to another.
00:47:53And as Elias now continues to control Finn Balor, there's a shoulder breaker.
00:47:58Here's the cover in a kick out, not only Sunday is their Elimination Chamber match,
00:48:02but also at the Elimination Pay Per View event on the WWE Network.
00:48:05Corey, is Asuka's undefeated streak in jeopardy against Nia Jax?
00:48:10It's absolutely in jeopardy.
00:48:11Asuka will stand a tall task against the irresistible force.
00:48:15We've seen Nia Jax absolutely dominate the women's division recently here on Monday Night Raw.
00:48:20There's a very, very real possibility that Asuka's undefeated streak will be snapped.
00:48:24And remember, if Nia wins that match, she finds herself in a triple threat for
00:48:28one of the women's championships with Asuka at WrestleMania.
00:48:30And I think of the word avoid, and on Sunday, nobody's going to be able to avoid Asuka,
00:48:36Nia Jax, any of these guys in the Elimination Chamber.
00:48:40It's head on, toe to toe.
00:48:41The Elimination Chamber Pay Per View event on the WWE Network.
00:48:47Goliath continues to work on the shoulder of Finn Balor.
00:48:50Of course, it was a shoulder injury that cost Finn the Universal Championship.
00:48:56Hall of Famer Booker T, our former broadcast colleague,
00:49:01weighed in on Twitter a few moments ago, simply said, Seth Rollins.
00:49:05And about 15 exclamation points, profound as usual, Booker.
00:49:08Nonetheless, we get Booker's points.
00:49:10Seth Rollins with just an incredible performance here tonight.
00:49:13Yeah, trending all over the world right now.
00:49:15What a performance.
00:49:17Again, working on the injured shoulder.
00:49:18We get back coach talking about earlier, cover by Elias and a kick out.
00:49:21Rollins injured knee, Balor perhaps injured shoulder.
00:49:24None of these men are gonna go into the chamber 100% Sunday after going through a gauntlet match.
00:49:29And we understand the heart, we understand wanting to be victorious and
00:49:32wanting to be successful every single time that you step into the ring.
00:49:36But at some point, you wonder if it's too much to ask of yourself when that's coming on Sunday.
00:49:43To that point, I wonder, I mean, how many of these guys are caught up in their pride,
00:49:46caught up in their ego?
00:49:47Sure, it's romantic to go into this big time opportunity battered and bruised.
00:49:51And you wanna stand up and be a man and fight for everything.
00:49:54These are high caliber, world class professional athletes we're dealing with now.
00:49:58This is a different game.
00:49:59It's a different sport than it once was.
00:50:01And again, what is, if you win the chamber, you go to WrestleMania.
00:50:05And Corey, I wanna pose this question to you.
00:50:07You battled, all you wanted to do in your career was be a WWE superstar.
00:50:10You had that taken away from you.
00:50:12So you never had that WrestleMania moment in the ring.
00:50:16You know better than anyone how few and far between this opportunity is.
00:50:19All seven of these competitors do you one better.
00:50:23Every superstar on the roster knows how valuable a WrestleMania moment is.
00:50:28It is why we all do what we do.
00:50:31It's why you get in this industry from day one.
00:50:34You want that WrestleMania moment.
00:50:36Now, could you do it even better and capture the Universal Championship?
00:50:40Could you stand across the ring in the Superdome in New Orleans from Brock Lesnar?
00:50:44I mean, it's a dream come true.
00:50:47And everybody's journey is different.
00:50:50We already heard from John Cena.
00:50:51He's juggling so many different things in his life.
00:50:54We heard from Seth Rollins.
00:50:55He says, it doesn't mean anything if I don't win on Sunday.
00:50:58For everybody, it's different.
00:51:00But the journey and the end game is the same.
00:51:04And Finn Balor, hungry as every superstar is, perhaps even hungrier.
00:51:09Because he never believes he really had the full opportunity to reign as
00:51:13Universal Champion, relinquishing the title because of injury.
00:51:16Would love to get back to the top of that mountain.
00:51:18Knock off Lesnar at WrestleMania.
00:51:20Regain his crown.
00:51:22First few steps on that mountain start tonight.
00:51:24Could continue in Las Vegas inside the Elimination Chamber.
00:51:28And there's Finn Balor.
00:51:29Right on Elias' ear.
00:51:32And that could be a turning point in this match.
00:51:37And how does Balor capitalize?
00:51:40He takes the fight outside the ring.
00:51:44Well, he's got the target acquired.
00:51:47And Elias bringing it into the barricade.
00:51:50And remember the banged up ribs, thanks to Braun Strowman last week.
00:51:54And as much damage as Elias is taking right now, the one positive is, and we need to keep
00:51:59reminding people, is that he will not go in until the end on Sunday in the Elimination Chamber.
00:52:06Elias not quite sure where he's at, there's the sling blade by Finn Balor.
00:52:10And Finn could be closing in on a victory to advance in this gauntlet match.
00:52:14And Elias with an explosive clothesline, the cover, and a kick out.
00:52:21Elias just brought the momentum of Balor to a screeching halt with a wicked clothesline.
00:52:27Elias will be encased in a pod inside the chamber.
00:52:31He will be the last man released on Sunday.
00:52:34He'll watch the other six men do battle before he gets involved in the match.
00:52:38Power bomb, cover by Elias, kick out by Balor.
00:52:42Balor and Elias battling it out in the gauntlet match.
00:52:49Elias versus Finn Balor continues in our gauntlet match here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
00:52:54Featuring all seven men from Sunday's Elimination Chamber match.
00:52:58Elias has taken over and Elias been so impressive in his young career here so far in WWE.
00:53:05Really impressive how he just got kicked in the face by Balor.
00:53:08And Balor bounced off the ring post by Elias.
00:53:12You know, we keep alluding to it, the crowd here in Phoenix loves this match.
00:53:16But you wonder how smart it is for all these guys to take their bodies to the absolute limit.
00:53:21When in six days we know what they have in store for them.
00:53:24Cover here by Balor.
00:53:25Cover and the shoulders kick out.
00:53:27A great counter by Elias right into a Fujiwara armbar.
00:53:30And again on the bad shoulder, the left arm, the one he's been working on throughout this matchup.
00:53:34Absolutely dislocate the shoulder of Balor.
00:53:37Finn's in a lot of trouble right now.
00:53:39And Balor trying to make it to the bottom rope to force a break.
00:53:42Doesn't happen again, Elias right back on the attack.
00:53:45Look at Elias, the way he lifts his hips up off the mat while he did momentarily.
00:53:48He needs to keep his hips up, maximize the pressure on Balor's joints.
00:53:52Guys, I believe Elias has a chance to win Sunday.
00:53:54Not only the fact that he enters last, but he has been so impressive as of late.
00:53:59You know, it pains me to agree with you, Cole.
00:54:01And what stands out to me right now is the fact that Elias is out there with severely bruised ribs.
00:54:05Any competitor will tell you, a lot of guys would prefer to have a broken leg than have to get
00:54:09in the ring
00:54:10with bruised ribs because it affects your breathing, it affects your core strength.
00:54:13It does so-
00:54:14That's not gonna help.
00:54:17Well, I can tell you this, that Elias right now is starting to gain the confidence to go with
00:54:22the talent.
00:54:23And when you put those two things together and you have a situation where there's an
00:54:26opportunity, my goodness.
00:54:28I think Elias, I picked him to be my breakout star for 2018.
00:54:32And not only the men's match on Sunday, but Sunday we also have history being made.
00:54:36The women's evolution continues.
00:54:38The first ever elimination chamber match where Alexa Bliss defends her women's
00:54:43championship against five other women inside the chamber.
00:54:46Don't forget later tonight all six of those women will be in six women tag team action on
00:54:51Monday Night Raw.
00:54:52It all takes place Sunday on the WWE Network.
00:54:55Don't forget, the kickoff show will start things off an hour before the pay-per-view.
00:55:00I know these ladies are incredibly excited to be on the same stage in the same chamber.
00:55:05Finn Balor, top rope, Elias, bad ribs and all.
00:55:08Coup de Grace will crush the ribs of Elias.
00:55:11Balor, cover, hook of the leg, Balor advances.
00:55:18Elias has been eliminated from the gauntlet match.
00:55:21And who's next for Balor?
00:55:27Awesome.
00:55:30It is the eight time Intercontinental Champion.
00:55:35That's The Miztourage.
00:55:37Looking fashionable as usual.
00:55:39Where's The Miz?
00:55:40Wait a second.
00:55:41Axl in.
00:55:43Dallas, and now from behind.
00:55:46Miz from behind.
00:55:48The match underway now.
00:55:50Cover, look at this.
00:55:51Miz, the self-paw, unloading on Balor.
00:55:54There's a distraction by The Miztourage allowed Miz with a sneak attack.
00:55:58Michael, what do you always say?
00:55:59By any means necessary?
00:56:01That's what The Miz is all about.
00:56:03And Miz goes first, goes Balor.
00:56:06And The Miz looking to put this one away quickly.
00:56:08Hook of the leg, Balor kicks it too.
00:56:11Now we talk game plans, Corey.
00:56:13And I love the game plan.
00:56:15However, we know who's waiting.
00:56:17And it's how Miz came in, the sneak attack on Balor off the distraction.
00:56:21We know who awaits, but you can be sure that the Intercontinental Champion
00:56:24right now is savoring every moment.
00:56:26The Miz won't have this option on Sunday.
00:56:29Miz will be the first entrant in the Elimination Chamber match.
00:56:32Cover by Miz, and that's the reason for these quick covers tonight.
00:56:35Save himself physically for the Chamber on Sunday.
00:56:37Another cover and another kick out by Balor.
00:56:39Well, we saw John Cena not employ this game plan.
00:56:42So I like the fact that The Miz was watching in the back.
00:56:45And he realized what he was not supposed to do.
00:56:48Well, and one of the things on Sunday, because of the Chamber,
00:56:51Dallas and Axel will not be a factor.
00:56:53The Miztourage will not be involved in that match like they were tonight.
00:56:56Because the Chamber structure will keep them out of the ring.
00:57:02Miz is gonna have to win that match on his own.
00:57:04Yeah, we saw earlier tonight, John Cena really had the game face on.
00:57:07And now we're seeing Miz, who normally has the smile, normally has a smirk.
00:57:11He seems to have his game face on as well.
00:57:13Yeah, but again, to get back to the point you guys made earlier,
00:57:15Miz enters the Chamber number one.
00:57:16He's gonna have to run the gauntlet, so to speak, on Sunday.
00:57:20So the quicker he gets through tonight, the better off he is.
00:57:23Cover on Balor.
00:57:23There isn't enough here, and a kick out.
00:57:32I think there's been some surprise with some of the guys tonight,
00:57:36when they haven't finished off their opponent like they thought they might have
00:57:40at that particular point.
00:57:41And the bigger use to it, because nobody's given up easily inside the chamber Sunday,
00:57:44is Balor getting back into this match.
00:57:47I can't stress it enough, the paramount difference between tonight and this Sunday,
00:57:52is you only have to worry about one other competitor at a time tonight.
00:57:56On Sunday, you could have as many as six other superstars aiming for you.
00:58:00And Miztourage has to be careful, because remember,
00:58:02a disqualification will mean Balor moves on in the gauntlet.
00:58:07Hey, save back!
00:58:09You almost have to have eyes in the back of your head on Sunday.
00:58:15Shoulder first into the barricade, great strategy by Miz.
00:58:19See the agony on the face of Finn Balor, already worn from battle with Elias.
00:58:24Now the Miz using it to his advantage.
00:58:29Is it this arm?
00:58:30No.
00:58:31Miz, wait, it's up and now.
00:58:33Is it this arm?
00:58:34Three, one, two.
00:58:37Back it up now.
00:58:39My God.
00:58:41Can Balor somehow stay in this match?
00:58:50Well, this is the flagship show of WWE Monday Night Raw in the middle of
00:58:55an incredible gauntlet match featuring the seven men who compete inside the
00:59:00Elimination Chamber Sunday on the WWE Network.
00:59:04Seth Rollins with an incredible performance tonight,
00:59:06which we'll talk about in just a moment.
00:59:09Miz and Finn Balor continue to battle.
00:59:11Renee Young standing by with a special interview.
00:59:16Elias, unlike tonight, this Sunday you're gonna have a clear cut advantage by
00:59:19entering the Elimination Chamber last.
00:59:22That's right, going into the chamber, I'll have a clear cut advantage.
00:59:25You see what I did to Seth Rollins out there?
00:59:27There will be five other Seth Rollins at the chamber.
00:59:31Okay, I'll come in, I'll pick up the scraps.
00:59:32Then I'm gonna go on to WrestleMania.
00:59:35That's where I'll give the greatest performance of a lifetime on the grandest stage of them all.
00:59:42That is when the entire world will know what WWE stands for.
00:59:49That would be, I'm assuming, walk with Elias.
00:59:54Nonetheless, seven men, seven men, history making, will be involved in the chamber match come Sunday.
01:00:00You know what I'm noticing too, guys?
01:00:02There's gonna be a lot of disappointment on Sunday.
01:00:06Cuz every man is saying, I'm going to WrestleMania.
01:00:09I want to get back to Rollins for just one moment, Corey.
01:00:12Seth Rollins, I believe, was in a match longer than anybody in Monday Night Raw history tonight.
01:00:17He lasted one hour, five minutes in this gauntlet match.
01:00:20I don't believe anyone has ever lasted that long in a match on Monday Night Raw.
01:00:24Aside from Dana Brooke, you're the best statistician I know, Cole.
01:00:27Thanks.
01:00:28There's Finn Balor now, battles back against The Miz.
01:00:31Bruno Sammartino once went 81 minutes in the longest match in WWE history against
01:00:36Waldo Von Erich back in 1964.
01:00:40As Balor now, delivers an elbow, burying Miz.
01:00:44Cover, hook of the leg, kick out at two by the champion.
01:00:51Finn Balor trying to get the blood flowing back into his left arm.
01:00:54Elias did a great deal of damage, Miz has continued.
01:00:57Balor essentially one-armed in this battle right now.
01:01:00Well, we just heard Elias say scraps, right?
01:01:02He used that word scraps on Sunday.
01:01:04If these two continue like this, what's gonna be left for Braun Strowman?
01:01:09Well, could you imagine Elias performing at WrestleMania?
01:01:12It'd be a bigger disaster than Fergie at the NBA All-Star Game.
01:01:14Well, that was a disaster.
01:01:16And now Miz sent across the ring by Balor to the other side.
01:01:19Chop followed up to The Miz.
01:01:23Balor advanced by defeating Elias.
01:01:26Miz came into the match fresh, looked as if he's been away early,
01:01:29went for the skull-crushing finale.
01:01:30Balor with the shoulders down for Miz, kick out at two.
01:01:36My goodness.
01:01:39Miz just pulling Balor shoulder first into the canvas.
01:01:44I'll give Finn a lot of credit because The Miz came in like a house of fire.
01:01:48And then now things have really started to even out and he's really found his footing.
01:01:51Uh-oh, Balor looking to steal one here perhaps.
01:01:55Another near fall for Finn Balor.
01:01:58Miz looking for the skull-crushing finale once again.
01:02:02Can he get Balor in position?
01:02:04Balor makes it to the ropes.
01:02:05Break it down, one, two, three.
01:02:08Come on, bro.
01:02:10Come on, Dallas, bad shoulder.
01:02:12Went for the bad arm.
01:02:14Miz rolling up Balor, who kicks out at two.
01:02:16Come on.
01:02:19But The Miztourage again focusing on the bad arm of Finn Balor.
01:02:22What's the point of having a Miztourage if you don't pay dividends like that once in a while?
01:02:26That's why Dallas and Axel exist, to do what The Miz needs done.
01:02:30But again, we'll not be able to get involved Sunday.
01:02:32There will be a chamber surrounding the ring.
01:02:34Miz is on his own.
01:02:34There's a very real possibility Finn Balor into the chamber.
01:02:37And the top rope down goes The Miztourage.
01:02:41I did not see that coming.
01:02:43Nobody did.
01:02:46And now Balor caught Miz with a kick to the side of the face.
01:02:49And Finn Balor starting to roll.
01:02:59Balor club on its feet.
01:03:02Look at Axel.
01:03:05That was unnecessary.
01:03:06Balor wasted valuable time.
01:03:09And Dallas as well.
01:03:12Miz taking advantage.
01:03:13And Finn paid for it.
01:03:15And a referee with a lot of leeway there as Dallas and Axel went up on the apron.
01:03:19Dallas and Axel were just trying to shout words of encouragement to The Miz,
01:03:22and Finn insulted them.
01:03:23Skull-crushing finale by The Miz.
01:03:27Here's the cover.
01:03:29Two, three.
01:03:29And on the distraction, Miz puts Balor away.
01:03:34Finn Balor has been eliminated from the gauntlet match.
01:03:37Miz don't celebrate quite yet.
01:03:39I was gonna say, how long is that smile going to last?
01:03:43Until reality kicks in.
01:03:46And a harsh realization of what's still to come.
01:03:50This crowd is on their feet knowing.
01:03:55Look at this, here you see Dallas trying to pull Balor's arm clean out of the socket.
01:04:01Wouldn't prove to be enough.
01:04:03However, The Miz-tourage would once again pay dividends.
01:04:06Balor throwing hands at Dallas and Axel, allowing the Intercontinental Champion to capitalize.
01:04:14And land a boom, skull-crushing finale.
01:04:18Miz may enter at number one this Sunday, but he's got a little bit of momentum after what just went
01:04:22down.
01:04:23Yeah, but has it dawned on Miz yet who is, and now I believe it has.
01:04:26I believe it has dawned on Miz who's gonna enter the gauntlet match last tonight.
01:04:31What do they say?
01:04:31Sometimes when you win, you lose.
01:04:35And the WWE Universe reminding Miz who is next.
01:04:40He is a monster among men.
01:04:43He'll be in the chamber Sunday.
01:04:46But tonight, he's the last man in the gauntlet.
01:05:00So Corey, if you're Miz, what do you do now?
01:05:03Run, tap out, get yourself counted out.
01:05:08Throw the Miztourage in front of you.
01:05:10Pray, call the cops.
01:05:12I don't know anything, because if Miz is in dire danger of not making it into the
01:05:17Elimination Chamber.
01:05:19The Miz and Miztourage realize what Braun Strowman is capable of.
01:05:23They've been in the path of this man in the past.
01:05:25And Miz, I think he's taking your advice, Corey.
01:05:28A pretty smart guy.
01:05:31Curtis Axel was in a neck brace for like 11 months because of Braun Strowman.
01:05:35Miz gonna run, and look at Braun Strowman.
01:05:37God.
01:05:38Faster than a linebacker.
01:05:39Stay the hell away from here.
01:05:40Remember the last time he came out?
01:05:43He, with a big bear paw, just knocked Miz to the ground.
01:05:49And now Strowman gonna drag Miz back toward the ring.
01:05:53Did you see the ridiculous speed with which Braun Strowman closed in on the
01:05:57Intercontinental Champion?
01:05:58All those nature shows say you can't outrun a grizzly bear, right?
01:06:02Miz couldn't outrun Strowman.
01:06:03Strowman's in action, Gauntlet continues.
01:06:09Final match of the Gauntlet match, Braun Strowman versus The Miz.
01:06:14Strowman, the monster among men, Miz, the Intercontinental Champion.
01:06:17And Miz tried to run away, guys.
01:06:19It didn't happen.
01:06:20What do we, what do we- What a peel!
01:06:23Can you imagine how anxious Braun Strowman was getting backstage waiting, what?
01:06:30Over 90 minutes to get into this Gauntlet match?
01:06:33Well, Strowman's been rested up all night.
01:06:35And he's the freshest superstar in the Gauntlet match.
01:06:37My lord!
01:06:38Not that Braun doesn't come in with a physical advantage to every match.
01:06:41What's this feel?
01:06:42This is absurd.
01:06:45He is not going to end this quickly, gentlemen, either.
01:06:49Well, he's gonna punish Miz.
01:06:50He realizes, listen, Braun's a smart guy.
01:06:52He realizes Miz starts the chamber match first, comes Sunday.
01:06:56So why not beat the hell out of him, so he's nowhere near 100%.
01:07:00Do they have throwing Intercontinental Champion for
01:07:03distance over in PyeongChang?
01:07:04Well, they could.
01:07:06I think we have our winner, gold medal.
01:07:08Najin trying to put him on a podium.
01:07:11He might be the podium.
01:07:13And the Miztourage may want to think twice about that.
01:07:18Uh-oh, Miz, why wanna move?
01:07:19Miz moved out of the way, Strowman into the corner.
01:07:22Now Miz with a couple of kicks to the midsection.
01:07:24Looking to somehow take advantage of Strowman.
01:07:27I don't know how you eliminate Strowman Sunday.
01:07:30Meanwhile, Renee Young, we understand is back in the locker room area,
01:07:34getting set to bring us another special guest in a moment.
01:07:37And now we understand Renee's ready.
01:07:39Take it away, Renee.
01:07:42Finn, you were very impressive tonight.
01:07:44But unfortunately, due to the Miztourage, you were eliminated.
01:07:48Yeah, Renee.
01:07:49The Miztourage did get involved tonight.
01:07:51But on Sunday, the Miztourage are gonna be locked out of the chamber.
01:07:55And The Miztourage is gonna be locked in with me and five other guys.
01:08:03On Sunday, I am gonna win the Elimination Chamber.
01:08:06And I am gonna go on to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.
01:08:15I apologize, interrupting Finn Balor there, but I could not.
01:08:19We just saw Braun Strowman do this.
01:08:21Look at him, look at him, that's a 385 pound man.
01:08:25Affectionately been calling that the Tyrannosaurus drop kick.
01:08:27Yeah, that's like Sasquatch doing a drop kick.
01:08:30Michael, you said earlier.
01:08:31My God.
01:08:32Wow.
01:08:33That'll cave in your heart.
01:08:34Who's going to eliminate Braun Strowman?
01:08:36I know it's every man for himself, but if I'm the other six men, at some point,
01:08:41I've got to think, who can help me, or who can I help?
01:08:45You think?
01:08:45I don't think all six guys are gonna be able to eliminate Strowman.
01:08:48Watch this, my Lord.
01:08:52Come on, please.
01:08:54He is just a scary, scary man.
01:08:58Just think if he is one of the four men in the pod,
01:09:00when he's just standing there looking and waiting for his pod to open.
01:09:04What?
01:09:05Miz is in the fetal position right now, just terrified.
01:09:09Corey, believe me, I know what Strowman's all about.
01:09:12That man picked me up by my belt loop and carried me across the stage,
01:09:15and threw me into a bunch of people.
01:09:17You should invest in Miztourage.
01:09:19And Strowman over the top rope.
01:09:20You didn't help me, neither Booker.
01:09:22And look at now, Miz kicked right to the face of Strowman.
01:09:25Miz trying to fight back.
01:09:27And Strowman knocked into the barricade, still on his feet.
01:09:29I'll give Miz a lot of credit.
01:09:31He's doing a hell of a lot better than I thought he would.
01:09:34You were saying, my bad, my bad.
01:09:39He just ran over Miz.
01:09:46Scrowman is one of the most incredible athletes I have ever witnessed in a WWE ring.
01:09:52And I'm not exaggerating.
01:09:53I mean, the man's incredible.
01:09:55He can do everything.
01:09:56385 pounds, ridiculous speed, scary agility.
01:10:01I mean, he truly is a freak of nature.
01:10:04Yeah, Miztourage, Miz looking for the skull crush.
01:10:06To Strowman, can you believe it?
01:10:08Miz is gonna pull a major upset, and Strowman kicked out.
01:10:12Powerful kick out.
01:10:15That may be the most powerful kick out I have ever seen.
01:10:18That was a kick out with authority.
01:10:20But let's not forget or lose sight of what Miz just did.
01:10:25He delivered a skull crushing finale to Strowman.
01:10:29Sure, and you can even drop a bomb on someone if they stay right back up.
01:10:33It doesn't matter.
01:10:37Strowman with a clothesline to Miz.
01:10:42Uh-oh, this is not gonna be pretty.
01:10:46Running power slam.
01:10:49Strowman wins the gauntlet match.
01:10:55Here is your winner, Braun Strowman.
01:10:59I think in the grand scheme of things, we understand that it was more than one match.
01:11:02But the gauntlet match within itself, I believe the longest match maybe in WWE history.
01:11:08Well, it's one of the best matches I've ever seen, certainly on Monday Night Raw.
