00:00:06The reality of how much I was going to have to lie to all the people that I care about
00:00:13hadn't really hit me. You know, I can lie to the fans. That's fine. That's part of the business.
00:00:21Lying to, like, my friends and family. And so when it happened, everybody's texting me.
00:00:30And now a moonsault lands on his feet.
00:00:32Oh, fuck. Get Doc in there. Get Doc in there.
00:00:36That is a bleak sight seeing Seth freaking Rollins down and out.
00:00:44And he's not responding to anybody because, you know, he's going through all of this.
00:00:52So everybody's like, how's he doing? His dad is texting me. And I'm like, do I have to like your
00:00:58dad?
00:00:59Like, who do I have to lie to? So I was like breaking out in hives.
00:01:06I think she didn't anticipate having to be an accomplice. I think that part didn't occur to her until the
00:01:13night of.
00:01:14And she's the one answering all the texts while I'm, you know, ignoring them all.
00:01:18I'm much better. I'm a much better liar than she is. She'll be honest with you on that.
00:01:23She's a terrible liar.
00:01:24My manager called me and he's like, how's he doing? Is he okay? What's going on?
00:01:30Is he going to be all right? And I'm like, um, uh, yeah, he'll be fine.
00:01:37He'll be fine, you know? He's going to be fine.
00:01:40You know, and that was like my way of like not, of towing the line, of like not lying, but
00:01:46lying, you know?
00:01:48Okay, next time, just fucking don't tell me.
00:01:51Hmm?
00:01:52Just don't fucking tell me.
00:01:53With what?
00:01:55What's up?
00:01:56I got a fucking, you know, I got a fucking lie to everybody.
00:01:58I got a fucking lie to everybody.
00:02:00I got a fucking lie.
00:02:04Did, did, uh, did you know about it beforehand or after?
00:02:08Yeah, yeah.
00:02:08Okay.
00:02:19Any time I would go into public where there was a possibility that a picture might get out, we were
00:02:25on the crutches with the brace.
00:02:27Crutches were the fucking worst.
00:02:30I have stairs to go to my house.
00:02:32I couldn't do legs at the gym.
00:02:34I flew commercial in a GD brace.
00:02:37You know, you'd stop security.
00:02:38They got to pat the whole thing down.
00:02:40It was obnoxious.
00:02:43Everybody, except my daughter, played their role perfectly.
00:02:47She tried to ruin it immediately.
00:02:49You know, I told her, oh, daddy's got to pretend boo-boo.
00:02:52He doesn't really have a boo-boo.
00:02:53But eventually, she'll tell everyone, daddy doesn't have a boo-boo.
00:02:56And I'll go, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:02:58And everybody will go, oh.
00:03:00Literally the first day, send her into this little summer camp.
00:03:04She does her thing for a few hours.
00:03:05She comes back.
00:03:06She's got this teacher, Miss Joy.
00:03:08She says, I told Miss Joy that you had a pretend boo-boo.
00:03:11I said, no, Rue, you can't do that.
00:03:14She goes, na-na, na-na, boo-boo.
00:03:16I told Miss Joy.
00:03:18Oh.
00:03:22Miss Joy was in the inner circle from day one.
00:03:24And she kept up her end of the bargain, too.
00:03:26Appreciate that, Miss Joy.
00:03:40SummerSlam has always been arguably the second largest event that WWE does.
00:03:47The big tentpole event is the only way that I can think to say it.
00:03:51One of the greatest wrestling matches of all time has their second place here at SummerSlam.
00:04:01You run these big epic storylines through the summer.
00:04:05They peak at SummerSlam.
00:04:07Ray Mysterio has his son back.
00:04:10Oh, broke this on her side.
00:04:13Oh, my God.
00:04:14Give him the earth.
00:04:17History of the business as we move forward.
00:04:19There was so much talent, so much storytelling that could be done.
00:04:24This year, for the first time, SummerSlam now is a two-night event.
00:04:31In laying out the card for SummerSlam, we knew that night one would be headlined by Gunther
00:04:37defending the world title against CM Punk, with obviously the Seth Rollins cash-in surprise
00:04:42included with that, and also Jelly Roll teaming up with Randy Orton to take on Logan Paul and
00:04:49Drew McIntyre.
00:04:50One of the numerous benefits of working with an outside performer like a Jelly Roll is
00:04:55that they have different opportunities outside of our world in which they can promote WWE.
00:05:01We found out that Jelly Roll was actually going to be hosting an episode of the Jimmy Kimmel
00:05:05show, and thought that'd be a perfect opportunity to use it as a platform to kind of promote
00:05:10Jelly's tag match at SummerSlam.
00:05:13I guess we're going to go to commercial break.
00:05:15Commercial break it is.
00:05:17Oh, actually, no, I don't think we're going to go to commercial break.
00:05:22You, my friend, are a greasy, redneck prison rat.
00:05:28Who the f*** is this?
00:05:29Shut the hell up, Jelly Roll.
00:05:31There's your receipt, stupid.
00:05:32Hey, congrats.
00:05:33It's Logan Paul's show now.
00:05:35A real superstar.
00:05:36So, ladies and gentlemen, you want to see a real star?
00:05:40I'm here.
00:05:41Why don't you leave, huh?
00:05:53Getting involved in SummerSlam scared me.
00:05:56I haven't felt fear like that in a long time.
00:05:59I mean, it scared me.
00:06:00It kept me up at night some nights.
00:06:01I'd wake up out of sleeps about it.
00:06:03I wasn't nervous.
00:06:05That's something you feel before a concert.
00:06:06That's healthy.
00:06:07I was scared of, um, I was scared of being rejected.
00:06:16And I haven't had that fear in a long time, neither.
00:06:18It reminded me of, like, the early bar shows.
00:06:21Like, I don't really know how they're going to feel about me out here.
00:06:31You got 20 seconds for me to run somebody?
00:06:33Yes, sir.
00:06:34Is it too early in the day to talk about our finish?
00:06:37No?
00:06:39No?
00:06:39Don't go out here yet.
00:06:41You want to go heels up?
00:06:44I'm not opposed to it.
00:06:45I'm still mulling it over.
00:06:47I've got all the details.
00:06:48I'm weighing out the overall card.
00:06:51Do I need a babyface moment, or do I need a down moment that late in the show?
00:06:56If you ask me where I'm at right now, I'm 60-40, you go down.
00:07:01We get heels up, 60-40.
00:07:03But I want to feel that out for a little bit.
00:07:06I was campaigning to lose.
00:07:08Because we were also trying to clearly tell the story of a man that was unqualified to be in there.
00:07:11Well, I've been thrown through, like, 12, 15 tables getting ready for this.
00:07:15But I haven't actually been through an announcer table with somebody jumping me.
00:07:19You lay on this table just to feel what it's like?
00:07:21I bug y'all, man.
00:07:22I just, I don't want the first time I lay on it before I go through it to be in
00:07:25front of 60,000 people and have no clue what the fuck it feels like.
00:07:28This is the only thing that I'm going to do tonight that I haven't got to try at all.
00:07:34I have no clue how bad it is or isn't going to hurt.
00:07:36I just keep thinking about how far that jump is and how big Logan is.
00:07:40So it's kind of like a little bit like this, but also at an angle.
00:07:43So he'll come, boom.
00:07:44No, no, no, not that angle.
00:07:46Because he'll be coming ahead this way.
00:07:48I'll be on that table, right?
00:07:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:52Yeah, you'll be fine.
00:07:54And then just...
00:07:55Boom.
00:07:55Yep.
00:07:57This thing will break.
00:07:58Mm-hmm.
00:07:59Tuck the chin.
00:07:59It's a clean bump, right?
00:08:00Yep, yep, yep.
00:08:02I'll be okay.
00:08:03We'll be all right.
00:08:04My wife will be sitting right there.
00:08:05She's going to shit herself.
00:08:07She's going to lose her mind, dude.
00:08:10You got any words or advice for me here?
00:08:12Kind of sit up a little bit on impact.
00:08:15Sit up a little bit before impact.
00:08:17Well, I heard you.
00:08:18Yep.
00:08:19Just a little bit.
00:08:20Yeah.
00:08:21Kind of tighten up.
00:08:21Yeah, it'll be a snug shot.
00:08:24It may knock the wind out of you, but you'll be fine.
00:08:27You know, later.
00:08:29For sure.
00:08:31I got a minute to sail here.
00:08:32You probably won't feel much of it in the moment when you cool off.
00:08:38That's when you'll feel it.
00:08:40When the adrenaline comes out.
00:08:42When I go back there and sit down, I'm going to feel every one of these.
00:08:44Yes, you are.
00:08:45And you're going to feel it even more tomorrow when you wake up.
00:08:51Feeling good?
00:08:51Yes.
00:08:52So I got to say, at Saturday's main events, I felt really bad for Seth.
00:08:57Seth Rollins?
00:08:58Yeah, I felt really bad for him.
00:08:59Why?
00:08:59Then I came to you and it was like, hey, man, he's out.
00:09:02If you need me.
00:09:03Yeah.
00:09:03And you just didn't even acknowledge it at all.
00:09:05That it was like, hey, man.
00:09:07Suffice obvious.
00:09:08Yeah.
00:09:10Yeah.
00:09:10Look, I don't like giving people information they don't need.
00:09:14No, no, no.
00:09:14It's all good.
00:09:15It's all good.
00:09:15I think of it myself anyway.
00:09:16I wanted to tell them because I thought it was funny.
00:09:18Because in the first moment, I didn't have any mail.
00:09:19I didn't think of it like, hey.
00:09:21I don't know.
00:09:22I believed everybody.
00:09:22It was like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:09:24Poor guy.
00:09:24Yeah, yeah.
00:09:25And you know what we're doing tonight, right?
00:09:28Yeah.
00:09:30Hey, son.
00:09:31Good, you?
00:09:33So, aftermath.
00:09:35Yeah, a second.
00:09:35We'll talk about it again.
00:09:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:37So, we want to paint the picture where you go over.
00:09:40But you're exhausted.
00:09:42You finally have that moment.
00:09:43We're getting Gunther out.
00:09:45You finally get the fucking year on your knees or whatever that is.
00:09:47And they finally get that title.
00:09:48And they have that emotional moment.
00:09:49Like, fuck, you fucking did it.
00:09:51You know what I mean?
00:09:51And as emotional as possible, I'm going to get a camera in the ring to make it look like
00:09:55we're going off the air, you know?
00:09:57You can fucking get up on your feet.
00:09:58And you finally just give me that moment where you fucking look and just.
00:10:03Before you even get it up.
00:10:04Here he comes.
00:10:05And I feel like, you know, you take your time on all that, too.
00:10:09Like, you fucking can't fucking believe it.
00:10:12You cry if you can.
00:10:14And you know what I mean?
00:10:15As emotional as fucking possible.
00:10:16As soon as you just do this, it's like, fuck.
00:10:19I will milk that till it is bone dry.
00:10:24Bobby Likudny plans for post-match.
00:10:29Sounds awesome.
00:10:30Sounds good.
00:10:32Yeah, I felt like if you went through a war, you know, you went through a war, can barely
00:10:36get up and fucking, but you've overcome and all that shit.
00:10:39And holy shit, he finally fucking did it.
00:10:40Here's your moment.
00:10:41Bang.
00:10:43We are live at the home of the NFL's Giants and Jets, the finals of the 2026 FIFA World
00:10:50Cup, a neighborhood which has hosted a number of Summer Slams, but tonight makes history
00:10:56with the first ever epic two-night event.
00:11:00Over 50,000 WWE fans are expected tonight for the 38th annual Summer Slam.
00:11:13One minute to party.
00:11:15Hey, just take your time.
00:11:17We're in no rush, so don't feel like you got to rush.
00:11:19Take your time going up the stairs.
00:11:20Take your time doing all of it and have fun.
00:11:22All right?
00:11:23Let's go.
00:11:25Let's do it.
00:11:26It's so nice meeting you.
00:11:27All right.
00:11:30Hello, it's me.
00:11:32Hello, it's me.
00:11:33Hello, it's me.
00:11:35Hello.
00:11:56What's good, WWE Universe?
00:12:02Who's made a whip so bad?
00:12:16Just don't hope you think.
00:12:18You got it.
00:12:18It's already.
00:12:19The mood is all that's in there.
00:12:20Yes, sir.
00:12:21Love you, brother.
00:12:22Thank you for the opportunity, man.
00:12:24Fuck yes.
00:12:24Yes, sir.
00:12:25I'm going to make you proud.
00:12:26Take this shit up.
00:12:26Yes, sir.
00:12:27Enjoy this.
00:12:27I'm going to have a fucking ball.
00:12:35Jelly Roll weighs in at 299 pounds, the lightest in many, many years.
00:12:41Jelly Roll has been doing all the right things.
00:12:44He's been training with some of the absolute best.
00:12:47What he hasn't done is actually have a match.
00:12:57As the bell rings, Jelly Roll tags himself in.
00:13:01We're going to have to see what Jelly Roll has learned over the past number of weeks as he starts
00:13:06things off.
00:13:07I'm about to get a little flurry here from Jelly.
00:13:13And a big elbow by Jelly drops Paul.
00:13:17Oh!
00:13:20You're going to get a tag to victory.
00:13:24Now the game changes.
00:13:25Yeah, Jelly, you might want to make a tag now to Mr. Orton while you have the opportunity because here
00:13:29comes McIntyre.
00:13:31Oh, Randy trying to psych up Jelly Roll.
00:13:37Now they realize he made a mistake.
00:13:41It is every celebrity's dream to get in this ring until you face reality.
00:13:49You want to put Jelly on the table?
00:13:52Look at your big table spot.
00:13:55Oh, man, this is, things are getting out of control here.
00:13:59There's no way to feel what this is going to feel like.
00:14:01I look up and I see him clap those two water bottles together.
00:14:07I'm petrified at this moment.
00:14:12Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
00:14:17Holy shit! Holy shit!
00:14:22Jelly Roll is going to rue the day that he wanted to become a WWE superstar.
00:14:35Check, check on everybody, please.
00:14:38The medical personnel at ringside have got Jelly Roll to his feet.
00:14:43Everybody's good. Everybody's good.
00:14:45A two-on-one situation.
00:14:48Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre continue to pummel away on Orton.
00:14:54Logan Paul laughing and mocking at Jelly Roll.
00:14:58Bye-bye!
00:15:00Me and Shane, the producer Shane, we talked about it all night.
00:15:04Like, this is where wins or dies.
00:15:06When you turn around, it's either going to be one of the pops of the night or it'll fall flat.
00:15:17When I turned around for that comeback, it was like, it happened.
00:15:24I don't know what Jelly's thinking.
00:15:26He's trying to drag himself back in.
00:15:32We got to applaud Jelly Roll to not leave his partner high and dry here in this match.
00:15:38Randy Orton is going to tag in Jelly Roll, and here he comes.
00:15:44And Jelly Roll with a clothesline.
00:15:48Just biting a pure adrenaline hand.
00:15:52Watch for the Claymore. Stay here, stay here.
00:15:56Claymore!
00:15:58Logan Paul up top.
00:16:04For the win!
00:16:09Well, there's no fairytale ending for our celebrity here tonight.
00:16:14He showed us all something here.
00:16:17Jelly Roll went out on his shield.
00:16:22That was awesome.
00:16:23It was great.
00:16:25First of all, shout out to Triple H for believing it.
00:16:27Right?
00:16:28Because imagine there's a 480-pound musician in Gorilla taking up the space of three men,
00:16:33going, dude, I'm going to lose a bunch of weight, kick a wrist-in' match,
00:16:36I've been a fan my whole life, and Triple H believed me.
00:16:40Love you.
00:16:41I'm in, brother.
00:16:42I'm in fucking in.
00:16:43Congratulations.
00:16:44Love you, man.
00:16:46You said you would.
00:16:47You worked your fucking ass off, man.
00:16:49I know I made a couple mistakes, but I did pretty good.
00:16:51Dude, nobody even noticed those.
00:16:52I only say this to people that get it.
00:16:54Respect.
00:16:56Fucking respect.
00:16:56Okay?
00:16:58Fuck yeah.
00:17:04Are you on your bus?
00:17:07Yes.
00:17:08So I'll come out to see you.
00:17:10Let's make sure it's exactly how we want it.
00:17:13And the next time we come in, we're going for it.
00:17:19Punk wins.
00:17:22We get the title in Punk's hands.
00:17:27When he lifts the title in the air to give it to the audience that chanted his name for 10
00:17:32years,
00:17:34we hit your music.
00:17:35Talk through it now or later?
00:17:37I'll talk to you now.
00:17:38Okay.
00:17:38We're doing a cash-in, okay?
00:17:39Okay.
00:17:39So Seth is coming back.
00:17:41So when you get to the bottom of the ramp, just kind of wait, because Seth is going to come
00:17:45out.
00:17:45We come out on the stage.
00:17:47I have the briefcase.
00:17:49You're on crutches.
00:17:50Crutches and the brace.
00:17:51And the knee brace.
00:17:53Seth is coming down, and Seth is going to grab you.
00:17:56He's going to slide in.
00:17:57He's going to whack Punk a bunch of times.
00:17:58He's going to come to you, say he's going to cash in.
00:18:00Woo!
00:18:01Walking up with you for the fucking best in the world, baby.
00:18:03Are you cracking him with the briefcase?
00:18:06Oh, yeah.
00:18:07I can't wait.
00:18:07Many times, if I can.
00:18:10Stomp.
00:18:11You do the cash-in.
00:18:12He's going to stomp him.
00:18:13You count the one, two, three.
00:18:14On the ring.
00:18:14We do that, okay.
00:18:16We stay in the ring?
00:18:18We stay in the ring.
00:18:20We stand over the dead body.
00:18:22Get the heat.
00:18:22Get out one time.
00:18:23You call it.
00:18:24We'll go with your gut.
00:18:25That's great.
00:18:26Yeah, I like that.
00:18:31From Chicago, Illinois, CM Punk!
00:18:42You can have all the cockiness and arrogance in the world when you're in your 20s, but right now, old
00:18:49father time is catching up with CM Punk.
00:18:52It's a win now situation.
00:18:55Jess, I don't know exactly how it's going to go, but just be at the bottom of the ramp.
00:18:58So if Seth points at you or grabs you, just go along with it.
00:19:08The sun's gone to hell.
00:19:09The moon's riding high, and we are ready for a main event for the ages here.
00:19:18Oh!
00:19:20Oh my goodness, again.
00:19:23A shotgun-like blast.
00:19:25Stay here.
00:19:26I'm going to get a chop fast, my gutter.
00:19:28And now a chop to the back, and Punk's in trouble now.
00:19:32Keep chopping.
00:19:33One in the belly.
00:19:33The body of CM Punk is being broken down before our eyes.
00:19:38Stacks him up to retain, and Punk kicks it too.
00:19:41Not quite sure how Punk still has anything left in him.
00:19:46Can you make sure that Heyman's up here, please?
00:19:49Paul Heyman?
00:19:56It's tough to keep her surprised now.
00:20:01Keeping a return a secret?
00:20:05Not letting people know that Seth Rollins doesn't need crutches?
00:20:11This makes it so much more difficult.
00:20:14It's all it takes is one person goes,
00:20:21What goes into a reveal?
00:20:24Everything.
00:20:26We're doing theater, and the audience is our chorus.
00:20:34We're building to something,
00:20:36and we're asking you to pay to enjoy the ride along with us.
00:20:44What can make this moment that memorable?
00:20:50That's the assignment.
00:20:52That's the job.
00:20:54That's what we do.
00:20:59It's a miracle.
00:21:00You got the crutches?
00:21:02Hey, I'm going to get them up here, Seth.
00:21:04Are you going to take the brace off, too?
00:21:05What's that?
00:21:06Taking the brace off as well?
00:21:09Welcome back.
00:21:11These fucking crutches are the death of me, Larry.
00:21:14Gunther's taking a victory lap already.
00:21:18Wait a minute.
00:21:19CM Punk back at his feet.
00:21:20And Gunther may have made a critical error there.
00:21:23This is going to be fucking great.
00:21:24I think so.
00:21:25Oh, my goodness.
00:21:26Oh, my goodness.
00:21:28Oh, wow.
00:21:28The world champion has been busted open.
00:21:32Gunther is busted open.
00:21:34My God.
00:21:34I don't know if I've ever seen Gunther covered in his own blood like that.
00:21:39Gunther trying to beg off.
00:21:40I don't remember, to your point,
00:21:42the last time Gunther's tasted his own blood in a match.
00:21:45Forget everything that's happened previously.
00:21:48The game has changed.
00:21:58Oh, yeah.
00:21:59Punk delivers it to Gunther.
00:22:01And Punk could be closing in on his championship.
00:22:05CM Punk still with some life left.
00:22:07Punk now with Gunther up on his shoulders.
00:22:11Punk for the GTS.
00:22:13A go to sleep to the champion.
00:22:15Punk's going to go for it again.
00:22:16Punk for the second GTS.
00:22:21Punk into the cover.
00:22:23Punk is the world champion.
00:22:25CM Punk is the world champion.
00:22:28Here is your winner.
00:22:32The new world heavyweight champion.
00:22:40CM Punk.
00:22:42And milky, motherfucker.
00:22:47An emotional CM Punk filled with tears
00:22:52has finally proven beyond a shadow of a doubt
00:22:56that he is the best in the world.
00:23:01On me.
00:23:04Now.
00:23:25Once the audience hears the music,
00:23:28I was worried
00:23:30they would know
00:23:32what was happening.
00:23:33Even when I came out on the crutches
00:23:35with the brace.
00:23:37And I thought
00:23:38maybe the
00:23:41ruse at the end of the ruse
00:23:42was
00:23:44a bit surplus.
00:23:46And
00:23:46the second pop wouldn't be as big
00:23:48as the first pop.
00:23:49That's always the big fear
00:23:51is that
00:23:51you want your pops to elevate.
00:23:53You want the excitement to increase
00:23:55as you're moving towards the moment.
00:23:59That means you're coming off me.
00:24:02All right.
00:24:03You're coming off me.
00:24:04Seth will take a step to leave
00:24:06like he's going back through Gorilla
00:24:07and then we'll get all of our shakes here.
00:24:10That was the only concern I had
00:24:11was
00:24:12whether we were going in the right direction
00:24:15by doing the walk away
00:24:16and oh
00:24:17he's just here to remind people
00:24:18that he's still got the case.
00:24:20That moment
00:24:21I didn't know if that was going to play well.
00:24:34When I heard the noise
00:24:36when the crutches drop
00:24:37I was like
00:24:38oh
00:24:39oh yeah.
00:24:43Oh I'm sorry
00:24:45were some of my posts misleading?
00:24:47Ha ha ha!
00:24:55Oh my god.
00:24:59Oh no.
00:25:01Oh no.
00:25:03Not tonight.
00:25:05Not tonight of all nights.
00:25:08I call it a miracle
00:25:10but I don't think it's that.
00:25:12And CM Punk and Seth Rollins now
00:25:14going after one another.
00:25:16Oh my god.
00:25:23Oh my god.
00:25:25And another one.
00:25:26Another one.
00:25:27And another one.
00:25:30Punk getting the hell beat out of him
00:25:32by Seth Rollins.
00:25:34Cash it in.
00:25:35Cash it in.
00:25:36Cash it in.
00:25:38Cash it in.
00:25:40Right there.
00:25:41Right there.
00:25:42That's your shot.
00:25:43That's the one.
00:25:45He's the one.
00:25:45He's the only thing in your way.
00:25:47This is the vision.
00:25:49Punk is helpless.
00:25:50I'll stop the punk.
00:25:53You gotta be kidding me.
00:25:55I'm covered by Rollins.
00:25:59Oh my god.
00:26:00Rollins is the world heavyweight champion.
00:26:03Here is your winner.
00:26:07A new world heavyweight champion.
00:26:14Seth Ricken Rollins.
00:26:22Zep Rollins outmaneuvered CM Punk again.
00:26:31That's the ultimate indicator.
00:26:34How's the payoff?
00:26:35If the payoff worked,
00:26:36then everything else worked.
00:26:37And I believe that it worked perfectly.
00:26:41I'm just so happy that's over.
00:26:43Now I don't have to lie anymore.
00:26:50This is what we've been dreaming of.
00:26:53This is what we've been dreaming of.
00:26:56This is the beauty
00:26:58of the work ethic.
00:27:00This crazy-ass performance art
00:27:05that we lovingly call professional wrestling.
00:27:14You're lying, motherfuckers.
00:27:18You guys, man.
00:27:19Learn from the best.
00:27:20You know what I mean?
00:27:20That was badass, dude.
00:27:22That was fucking badass.
00:27:24We got it.
00:27:25We got it.
00:27:26We got it.
00:27:26We got it.
00:27:27Bye-bye, Crutches.
00:27:34Finally getting the title
00:27:35and moving forward
00:27:36with myself and Heyman
00:27:37and Breaker and Reed,
00:27:39it felt like now we're here.
00:27:41Now we've arrived
00:27:42and we can really start
00:27:44to do some fantastic work
00:27:46for wherever this leads.
00:27:48I am beat the fuck up.
00:27:50I need an ice bath
00:27:51and some ice cream
00:27:52and some ice.
00:27:55It's nights like that
00:27:56that remind me of
00:28:00what I fell in love with
00:28:01to start this entire journey.
00:28:06It's a physical business,
00:28:07but it's about making people feel
00:28:10what you're feeling.
00:28:12You know?
00:28:13Sometimes you put yourself
00:28:15through hell
00:28:15for your art.
00:28:18For your art.
00:28:20Oh, man.
00:28:23It's about emotion.
00:28:29Thank you for the opportunity.
00:28:30I hope that was everything
00:28:31you wanted to do.
00:28:31Oh, my God.
00:28:32That was bad.
00:28:32That had to feel good.
00:28:34I mean, yes and no.
00:28:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:36Yeah, a lot of it
00:28:37didn't feel good,
00:28:38but it had to feel good.
00:28:39No, but that's what
00:28:40it needed to be.
00:28:40Dude, and then you played
00:28:41that shit on the end
00:28:42with the tears in your eyes.
00:28:44All that shit was
00:28:46so fucking good
00:28:47and emotional.
00:28:47You'll get sick
00:28:48of me saying it,
00:28:48but thank you
00:28:49for the opportunity.
00:28:50You brought me back here
00:28:51and I think
00:28:52we're doing great things.
00:28:53You make me and Mick
00:28:54look like fucking geniuses.
00:28:55Magic, magic.
00:28:56Fucking A.
00:28:57So night one
00:28:59was epic.
00:29:00Went about as well
00:29:01as I think it could have,
00:29:03but we still got
00:29:04a whole other night to go.
00:29:24I got this thing
00:29:25a long time ago
00:29:26and I finally found
00:29:26an excuse to use it.
00:29:27So I was like, yes,
00:29:28I'm pumped.
00:29:30After WrestleMania
00:29:31and after losing to John Cena,
00:29:33I took a little time off.
00:29:36Inhale, left arm up.
00:29:38The biggest thing
00:29:39from yoga
00:29:39is being present.
00:29:41My mind runs
00:29:43at a pace
00:29:44where I often
00:29:45don't take any time
00:29:47to realize
00:29:47where we're at.
00:29:49This is modern WWE
00:29:51where the athleticism
00:29:52is through the roof
00:29:53and if you're not
00:29:54doing the things
00:29:55that fix your body,
00:29:57then you end up
00:29:58not being able
00:29:58to do it for very long.
00:30:02Look at WrestleMania
00:30:04and when you lose
00:30:05the title,
00:30:06no matter what
00:30:06anyone tells you,
00:30:07if they tell you
00:30:08it doesn't matter
00:30:09or it doesn't feel
00:30:10a certain way,
00:30:10they're lying to you.
00:30:12I didn't like
00:30:13the end result,
00:30:14not in terms of finish,
00:30:15in terms of execution.
00:30:17I think it was
00:30:18beneath what we can do.
00:30:21I need far better.
00:30:23And not just
00:30:23I need far better,
00:30:24WWE needs far better.
00:30:26So I think
00:30:28that the reason
00:30:29that a lot of people
00:30:31were down
00:30:33on the
00:30:33Cena-Cody
00:30:35WrestleMania match
00:30:36was
00:30:38that it didn't
00:30:40translate
00:30:40and it didn't
00:30:41feel genuine.
00:30:42Because you know
00:30:43what, John?
00:30:44They love you.
00:30:45They appreciate you.
00:30:47You've done
00:30:47maybe more
00:30:48than anybody's
00:30:49ever done
00:30:50for this industry
00:30:51and you're not
00:30:52going to be able
00:30:53to take that
00:30:53away from them.
00:30:54They're not
00:30:55going to hate you
00:30:56like you want
00:30:57them to hate you.
00:30:58It's not going
00:30:58to happen.
00:30:59Just go out there
00:31:01and tear it up.
00:31:02That's what they want.
00:31:04If people were
00:31:05disappointed,
00:31:06let's round this out.
00:31:07Let's remind them
00:31:08that WWE
00:31:08always does have
00:31:09not just a happy ending
00:31:11but a conclusion.
00:31:15The goal would be
00:31:15to get back
00:31:16to the title match,
00:31:18wrestling against
00:31:19John Cena
00:31:19at SummerSlam.
00:31:21Namaste.
00:31:22Namaste.
00:31:23John really
00:31:25wanted to make up
00:31:26for the Mania match
00:31:27bad.
00:31:29He felt he owed
00:31:30Cody that.
00:31:32The only thing
00:31:33left to was
00:31:33to determine
00:31:34how and when
00:31:35we were going
00:31:36to get John Cena
00:31:37back over to being
00:31:38classic babyface
00:31:39John Cena.
00:31:40John Cena's
00:31:41going to defend
00:31:42that title
00:31:42against Cody Rhodes
00:31:43but it's no DQ
00:31:44or it's a street fight
00:31:45or whatever.
00:31:46Does he fucking
00:31:48shake Cody's hand
00:31:50do all that stuff
00:31:51like have a moment
00:31:52there.
00:31:53Let the end
00:31:54of the heel run
00:31:56resonate as
00:31:56Cody did it
00:31:59then get it done
00:32:00on the other side.
00:32:01Yeah.
00:32:02Is the flip side
00:32:03of that
00:32:04John then
00:32:05coming to
00:32:07Cody's aid?
00:32:08to turn back
00:32:09babyface
00:32:11somewhere in August
00:32:12because Cody
00:32:13now is in trouble
00:32:14and the guy
00:32:15that actually
00:32:15saves him
00:32:16is John Cena
00:32:17under the
00:32:19I fucked up
00:32:20and I got
00:32:21ahead of myself
00:32:22here and
00:32:23I realized
00:32:25that I thought
00:32:25you weren't the guy
00:32:26and you are
00:32:27and I fucking
00:32:28support you
00:32:28and believe in you
00:32:29and now he finishes
00:32:30out August to December
00:32:33clean as a babyface
00:32:35is what we were
00:32:36originally thinking
00:32:37and is that the
00:32:38is that the scenario?
00:32:41We didn't know
00:32:42at the time
00:32:43Cody was going
00:32:43to be then
00:32:43going away
00:32:44to make a movie
00:32:45for six weeks.
00:32:46I got to get
00:32:47with John
00:32:49the Cody going away
00:32:50thing changes
00:32:51a bunch of shit.
00:32:52On the backside
00:32:53of SummerSlam
00:32:53I am going to
00:32:54Australia to shoot
00:32:55Street Fighter
00:32:56where I will
00:32:57be playing
00:32:58the character
00:32:59of Guile
00:32:59which is dope.
00:33:01I grew up
00:33:02playing the character
00:33:03so they kind
00:33:04of got me
00:33:05sight unseen
00:33:06which I hope
00:33:07I don't blow it.
00:33:12The thought was
00:33:13at that point
00:33:14of let's just
00:33:15get to Cena
00:33:16the night before
00:33:17and kind of
00:33:18pull him back
00:33:19so that Cena
00:33:19was made whole
00:33:20and back on the
00:33:21good side of things
00:33:22heading into that match.
00:33:24A good face turn
00:33:26is never meant
00:33:27to really be a shock.
00:33:31A good face turn
00:33:32should be something
00:33:33you're feeling
00:33:34and you already
00:33:35were like
00:33:35come on man
00:33:36we're cheering
00:33:36for you now
00:33:37like just
00:33:38come on.
00:33:45And a really good
00:33:46baby face turn
00:33:47is one that
00:33:48we're leading
00:33:48the audience to
00:33:49but also the audience
00:33:50is leading us to.
00:33:52John's being
00:33:53a prime example
00:33:54of a face turn
00:33:55where he basically
00:33:56said
00:33:56I'm a baby face now.
00:33:58Mark your calendar
00:34:00Cody
00:34:00August 1st
00:34:022025
00:34:03Newark
00:34:04New Jersey
00:34:05the day that
00:34:06John Cena
00:34:07came back
00:34:08to the WWE.
00:34:13John
00:34:13doing it in the fashion
00:34:15that he did
00:34:15where he told the audience
00:34:16I'm going to be me.
00:34:18Very John
00:34:19and let me make it
00:34:20even cleaner for you.
00:34:21I'm going to tell him
00:34:22I'm back.
00:34:23He's back.
00:34:25I'm going to be me
00:34:25at SummerSlam
00:34:26and me at SummerSlam
00:34:27is one of the greatest
00:34:29baby faces
00:34:29if not the greatest
00:34:30baby face of all time.
00:34:40The easiest way
00:34:41for us to get you
00:34:43involved
00:34:43if you don't mind
00:34:44would be having
00:34:46these accessible
00:34:46without making
00:34:48one of these
00:34:48and just take them
00:34:49in the ass.
00:34:50Yeah.
00:34:50Okay.
00:34:51That's alright.
00:34:52Totally fine with me.
00:34:52Do you want us
00:34:53to see this thing
00:34:54in the match
00:34:54or like
00:34:55Sure.
00:34:55Okay, cool, cool.
00:34:56I also don't want
00:34:57to put you in a spot
00:34:58where you feel
00:35:00uncomfortable.
00:35:01No, not at all.
00:35:02I'm excited you are.
00:35:03Awesome.
00:35:03Awesome.
00:35:04I think the story
00:35:05that we wanted
00:35:06to tell was
00:35:10we're willing
00:35:11to both go
00:35:12to the lengths
00:35:12that a street fight
00:35:13demands
00:35:15but we don't have
00:35:16to do it
00:35:16without respect.
00:35:18I wanted every bit
00:35:19of it to be
00:35:20a warrior's death.
00:35:22If you're refusing
00:35:23to hand the torch
00:35:24I'm going to
00:35:25murder you for it.
00:35:26I'm going to
00:35:27take it by force.
00:35:30Some of these
00:35:31versions where
00:35:31I'm standing there
00:35:32and watching them
00:35:32come up
00:35:33it's a lot of
00:35:34just looking at it
00:35:35with love,
00:35:36reverence
00:35:36but also like
00:35:37we're at it.
00:35:38I think so.
00:35:39And also
00:35:39I don't know
00:35:39is there a little
00:35:40salute in there?
00:35:42That whole fucking
00:35:43I love you
00:35:44but I'm sorry
00:35:44you know what I mean
00:35:45kind of thing.
00:35:55this was
00:35:56the big finale
00:35:57to me and
00:35:59Becky's feud
00:35:59the ultimate
00:36:01battle
00:36:01at the end
00:36:02of our story.
00:36:05I felt a lot
00:36:06of pressure
00:36:06going into this one
00:36:07because
00:36:08it was a no
00:36:09disqualification match
00:36:11the main event
00:36:12on the show
00:36:13was John Cena
00:36:14and Cody Rhodes
00:36:15also with a
00:36:17no disqualification
00:36:17stipulation.
00:36:18How are you doing?
00:36:19You look so cool!
00:36:20So it was very hard
00:36:22to come up with
00:36:23some unique ideas.
00:36:24I get a chain
00:36:27tied her in her mouth
00:36:28pull her
00:36:30pull her into the steps
00:36:31knock the steps
00:36:32off.
00:36:33And we are using
00:36:34the box.
00:36:34Right there.
00:36:35Right there.
00:36:36Maybe we don't do that.
00:36:37So in what we call
00:36:38gimmick matches
00:36:39you know
00:36:39no DQ
00:36:40street fight
00:36:41they're hard to prepare
00:36:42for
00:36:42because
00:36:43you can
00:36:44talk them through
00:36:46you can't actually
00:36:47go through them
00:36:49at full speed
00:36:50because
00:36:50you have to save
00:36:52that for the match
00:36:52otherwise you're going
00:36:53to kill the guy
00:36:54or girl before the match
00:36:55and they're not going
00:36:56to be able to perform
00:36:56to their best
00:36:57so you can't do that.
00:36:59Maybe sometimes.
00:37:00Maybe.
00:37:01How would she get out?
00:37:03You get one try
00:37:04at this stuff
00:37:05and it's in front
00:37:06of 60,000 people.
00:37:08We're not doing
00:37:08the old music
00:37:09no we're just
00:37:10going straight into it.
00:37:12Straight into it.
00:37:12We were debuting
00:37:13my new entrance music
00:37:14by the Wonder Years
00:37:16who were one
00:37:17of my favourite bands.
00:37:19New freaking song.
00:37:21Oh I love it man.

00:37:23I reached it

00:40:07I have one question
00:40:09for you.
00:40:10Are you ready?
00:40:13I said
00:40:27I always feel
00:40:29on fire
00:40:29internally
00:40:30I always do
00:40:31but like
00:40:32every time
00:40:32I feel like this
00:40:33every time
00:40:34and then like
00:40:34it always just
00:40:35seems to
00:40:36to be magic
00:40:37so hopefully
00:40:38it's always
00:40:39going to stay
00:40:39like that
00:40:40but again
00:40:40I'm always
00:40:40like really nervous
00:40:41and
00:40:43trying to put out
00:40:44the fires in my head
00:40:45and stay on top
00:40:46of things
00:40:46and you just
00:40:46can't freak out.
00:40:47You just can't
00:40:48like it's just
00:40:48we've got to
00:40:49we've got to
00:40:49go.
00:40:50The way I'm
00:40:50freaking out.
00:40:53The following
00:40:55is a no
00:40:57disqualification
00:40:57match
00:40:58for the
00:40:59women's
00:41:01intercontinental
00:41:02championship.
00:41:06She is
00:41:07the women's
00:41:10intercontinental
00:41:10champion
00:41:12the
00:41:13man
00:41:14Becky
00:41:17Lynch
00:41:20Becky Lynch
00:41:21has been
00:41:22the standard
00:41:22of Irish
00:41:24dominance
00:41:24for the past
00:41:2510 years
00:41:26and she is
00:41:27not ready
00:41:27to relinquish
00:41:28that role
00:41:29to a young
00:41:30up-and-coming
00:41:31pretender
00:41:32in Lyra
00:41:33Valkyria.
00:41:34Not sure
00:41:34I would use
00:41:34the word
00:41:35pretender
00:41:36when it comes
00:41:37to Lyra
00:41:38Valkyria.
00:41:39In the Summer
00:41:40Slam match
00:41:41I think I'd
00:41:42already lost
00:41:42the battle
00:41:42with that one
00:41:43before I went
00:41:44through the
00:41:44curtain.
00:41:44I just
00:41:45didn't switch
00:41:46on.
00:41:48I felt a lot
00:41:49of pressure.
00:41:52I'm always able
00:41:53to live in the
00:41:53moment and for
00:41:54that match
00:41:55I just
00:41:56couldn't.
00:41:56introducing the
00:41:58challenger
00:42:01Lyra
00:42:01Lyra
00:42:03Valkyria.
00:42:05When I was
00:42:06making my
00:42:07entrance
00:42:07I was just
00:42:08thinking
00:42:09let's just
00:42:10get the bell
00:42:10ringing.
00:42:11Let's just
00:42:12do this.
00:42:13And that's
00:42:13how I knew
00:42:14I was not
00:42:14in the zone
00:42:15that I needed
00:42:16to be.
00:42:18Anything
00:42:18that could
00:42:19have gone
00:42:19wrong
00:42:20went wrong.
00:42:21Lyra now
00:42:22boot break
00:42:22to the midsection
00:42:23of Becky Lynch.
00:42:24One of the
00:42:25first things
00:42:25I threw
00:42:26Becky into
00:42:27the photographer.
00:42:28Becky
00:42:28oh
00:42:29that poor
00:42:30still photo
00:42:31man.
00:42:33She said
00:42:34sorry to him.
00:42:35She's so nice.
00:42:37I was like
00:42:37oh sorry.
00:42:39It's a dangerous
00:42:40place to be for
00:42:41anyone near this
00:42:42ringside area.
00:42:44Here come the
00:42:45reveal of the
00:42:45zip ties.
00:42:46Nothing
00:42:47that happened
00:42:48with the
00:42:49weapons went
00:42:50the way it
00:42:50was supposed
00:42:51to.
00:42:52Becky's got
00:42:53a zip tie
00:42:53and she's
00:42:53got to zip tie
00:42:54the hands
00:42:55together.
00:42:56Literally
00:42:56handcuffing
00:42:57Valkyria here.
00:42:59Perfectly
00:42:59legal Michael
00:43:00Cole.
00:43:01Guess what
00:43:01Valkyria?
00:43:02This is what
00:43:03you asked
00:43:04for.
00:43:05That was
00:43:06my idea.
00:43:08I was like
00:43:08that would be
00:43:09a really cool
00:43:09moment if
00:43:10even though
00:43:11Becky had
00:43:12completely
00:43:12incapacitated
00:43:13me I still
00:43:14ended up
00:43:15beating
00:43:16her up
00:43:16with zip
00:43:17ties.
00:43:18And now
00:43:18she's got
00:43:19Becky trapped
00:43:20in the
00:43:20waistlock
00:43:20and now
00:43:21Lyra Valkyria
00:43:22using head
00:43:23butts.
00:43:23What happened
00:43:24however was
00:43:25when I was
00:43:26supposed to be
00:43:27stuck in
00:43:27zip ties
00:43:27they came
00:43:29off.
00:43:31Oh shit.
00:43:35Was it
00:43:35off?
00:43:37Was she
00:43:37out of
00:43:38them?
00:43:39She's got to
00:43:39just fucking
00:43:40get out of
00:43:40them.
00:43:41They're loose
00:43:41then tell
00:43:42her just
00:43:42if they're
00:43:42off.
00:43:43I'm
00:43:44trained
00:43:45when
00:43:45something
00:43:46happens
00:43:46that's
00:43:46not
00:43:46planned
00:43:47you
00:43:47throw
00:43:48the
00:43:48plan
00:43:48out
00:43:48the
00:43:48window
00:43:49and
00:43:50you
00:43:50go
00:43:50they're
00:43:50off.
00:43:51But in
00:43:52the moment
00:43:52when they
00:43:53came off
00:43:53I was
00:43:54thinking
00:43:55what if
00:43:56the cameras
00:43:56didn't catch
00:43:57that?
00:43:58If they
00:43:58missed that
00:43:59then it's
00:43:59like
00:44:00she was
00:44:00zip tied a
00:44:01second ago
00:44:01and now
00:44:01she's
00:44:02not.
00:44:02Whereas
00:44:02if I
00:44:03slip
00:44:03them
00:44:03back
00:44:03on
00:44:04and
00:44:04hope
00:44:04the
00:44:04cameras
00:44:04didn't
00:44:04see
00:44:05it
00:44:06same
00:44:06match.
00:44:08The
00:44:09cameras
00:44:09did catch
00:44:10it
00:44:10which
00:44:10is
00:44:10another
00:44:11unfortunate
00:44:11thing
00:44:12from
00:44:12the
00:44:12match.
00:44:14And
00:44:16she
00:44:16put
00:44:16her
00:44:16own
00:44:17hand
00:44:17back
00:44:17in
00:44:18there.
00:44:20She
00:44:21had to
00:44:21go

00:46:31it's
00:46:32pretty
00:46:32good
00:46:32it's
00:46:33not
00:46:34good
00:46:34enough
00:46:38I
00:46:39I don't
00:46:39think
00:46:39it was
00:46:39the
00:46:40drizzling
00:46:40shits
00:46:41like
00:46:42it wasn't
00:46:42the worst
00:46:42match
00:46:43of all
00:46:43time
00:46:43but
00:46:44I think
00:46:44that
00:46:44we
00:46:45had
00:46:45such
00:46:46high
00:46:46expectations
00:46:48maybe
00:46:48it didn't
00:46:49match up to that
00:46:55I want to
00:46:55I want to
00:46:55I want to be the person
00:46:56I want to be the person that people say I absolutely loved wrestling her she gave me my best match
00:46:59ever and I felt like I let myself down or didn't rise to meet the occasion
00:47:04I didn't even want to go back up to guerrilla I felt so overwhelmed
00:47:11she was very upset with herself and she just started apologizing to me and I was like it's fine like
00:47:18it's it's fine it's just wrestling and then she was like no it's not fine I need you to yell
00:47:23at me and I was like no I'm never going to be upset because a wrestling move or moves don't
00:47:32go our way
00:47:34she's great
00:47:35she cares
00:47:35but also
00:47:36that
00:47:37mindset
00:47:38is why she's so great
00:47:39and that's why she's going to continue to be great
00:47:41and that's why she's
00:47:42going to get better
00:47:43because she doesn't want to kick love
00:47:45she wants to be told
00:47:47that's
00:47:48both a great
00:47:49and terrible
00:47:50mindset
00:47:50great
00:47:51for progress
00:47:53terrible for mental health
00:47:54and I know this
00:47:55I am this
00:47:59I came to the back
00:48:01and
00:48:02a lot of my co-workers
00:48:04commended the creativity
00:48:05and a lot of the things that we did out there
00:48:09John Cena
00:48:11came up to me after that match
00:48:12he said very complimentary things about it
00:48:15that shit was a chair
00:48:16there's no fucking way I'd ever said yes to them
00:48:19like that shit was violent and brutal
00:48:22and we got Bayley back in the fray
00:48:23and now it's like mixed emotions and shit
00:48:26like
00:48:27it's way better than you think
00:48:29there was no changing my mind on it
00:48:32so that was very hard
00:48:36honestly everything up to now has been so amazing
00:48:39but
00:48:40you know when you
00:48:42this is everything
00:48:43this is everything
00:48:44so when it doesn't
00:48:47when you don't feel the magic
00:48:48or whatever
00:48:49this is the first time I've felt this way
00:48:51so uh
00:48:54I want me to be real
00:48:55that's as real as I can
00:48:56can be right now
00:49:02sometimes just anything that can go wrong
00:49:04does go wrong
00:49:05especially when you're
00:49:07you know
00:49:07using weapons and stuff
00:49:09and you got one take and all this
00:49:12it's not a movie
00:49:13we don't go out and rehearse stuff
00:49:15like actors and stuntmen and all this
00:49:18and uh
00:49:18it just doesn't
00:49:20go the way you see it in your head
00:49:22and
00:49:24it's just what happens sometimes
00:49:25um
00:49:27but
00:49:27it's only like
00:49:29I think this happens to everyone at some point
00:49:31and the only way you can really judge a talent is
00:49:34on what they do afterwards
00:49:35how they handle that
00:49:36and
00:49:37they don't do this
00:49:38let me tell you
00:49:38like
00:49:39you can feel it in the moment
00:49:40and then you just have to pick up and move on
00:49:41because we've always got Raw on Monday
00:49:43we've always got the next big show and
00:49:46no one like ever has the perfect streak
00:49:48and you have to just like get knocked down
00:49:50and get back up again
00:49:51so
00:49:52I've got Raw on Monday
00:49:53I'm gonna have to just fucking get back up
00:49:55and
00:49:56be okay
00:50:00anyway that's about as real as I can be
00:50:02and as much as I can say right now
00:50:03so
00:50:04I'm gonna go eat a cookie or something
00:50:08you're
00:50:08you're always telling me to be present and soak it in
00:50:11just had one of those moments where I want to say

00:51:55Friday night on Smackdown
00:51:59y'all know what time it is
00:52:01time to go to work
00:52:15being in the ring at SummerSlam
00:52:17I'm glad selfishly
00:52:20that I got to be part of
00:52:21the old John Cena
00:52:23stepping back into the light
00:52:30long form storytelling
00:52:32hardest thing
00:52:33is to be patient
00:52:41John Cena really has tapped back
00:52:44into what made him great
00:52:45in the first place this evening
00:52:47but Superman meets Superman
00:52:51and after the show of respect
00:52:53here we go
00:52:54Cody and Cena underway
00:52:57remember street fight rules
00:52:58anything goes
00:52:59you got to win via pinfall
00:53:00or submission
00:53:01John Cena going to reverse
00:53:03Cody shoulder first
00:53:04into the steps
00:53:05John's going to get these stairs
00:53:06and put him in the ring
00:53:08Cena has four months left
00:53:10in his career here
00:53:10he wants to go out
00:53:11as the champion
00:53:13and Cena
00:53:14oh
00:53:15actually
00:53:16throwing the steps
00:53:18at Cody
00:53:18we're going to work our way
00:53:21to Halliburton's
00:53:22crutch here
00:53:23John will grab it
00:53:25that's Tyrese Halliburton
00:53:27of the
00:53:28Indiana Pacers
00:53:29out after an Achilles surgery
00:53:33and now John Cena
00:53:35using the crutch
00:53:36again perfectly legal
00:53:37tonight
00:53:38anything goes
00:53:39for the championship
00:53:44Cody quickly
00:53:45drops Cena
00:53:46to the table
00:53:47the body of John Cena
00:53:49has been through wars
00:53:50for the past 20 years
00:53:51taken way more abuse
00:53:53than most
00:53:54eventually
00:53:55it does catch up
00:53:56with you
00:53:57John is
00:53:59in many ways
00:54:02doubting himself
00:54:03more than I believe
00:54:05we are doubting him
00:54:06so he is
00:54:08in a place now
00:54:09where he's saying
00:54:09I can't do
00:54:10what I used to do
00:54:11I can't deliver
00:54:13that level
00:54:15and the truth is
00:54:16he really still can
00:54:23John Cena
00:54:24has the experience
00:54:25to never run out
00:54:26of options
00:54:28he's been in the deep waters
00:54:30more than anyone
00:54:32oh god
00:54:33oh my god
00:54:34John Cena
00:54:34are you kidding me
00:54:50at some point in time
00:54:53father time beats us all
00:54:55but I'm watching him do certain things
00:54:58just like he always did
00:55:00and it's magic
00:55:03how is Cena still able
00:55:04to do this
00:55:24it's just a real love
00:55:25between him and the fans
00:55:26right now
00:55:28John's as popular
00:55:29as he's ever been
00:55:30and as over
00:55:31as he has ever been
00:55:32and I have to deal with that
00:55:47that's where it gets tough
00:55:49for fans
00:55:50moments where they see
00:55:51their all-time favorite
00:55:54getting beaten up
00:55:56Cody Rhodes
00:55:57oh god
00:55:58oh
00:55:59with a pile drop
00:56:00from their side
00:56:02it's disrespectful
00:56:05Cody's face is good
00:56:06and it sees
00:56:07second guess to themselves
00:56:08that I've done that
00:56:11yes
00:56:11we're going at it
00:56:12but I really love
00:56:13this guy too
00:56:15I know John does not like
00:56:16to tell the fans
00:56:17how we do it
00:56:18and I respect that
00:56:19I will tell you something
00:56:21that John Cena
00:56:21told me in the ring
00:56:22that I'll never forget
00:56:24they were booing
00:56:25this was right before
00:56:26I stomped on his ankle
00:56:27and he just looked up
00:56:28and said be yourself
00:56:30it's what you want
00:56:35this is very John
00:56:38because the moment
00:56:40was there to be a bad guy
00:56:41to beat him up with malice
00:56:43to beat him up
00:56:44and be that heel
00:56:46John can figure that out
00:56:47and realize
00:56:48no
00:56:48just be yourself
00:56:51because
00:56:51the story that
00:56:53we wanted to tell
00:56:54was
00:56:55two characters
00:56:56being virtuous
00:56:58let them go through
00:56:59absolute hell
00:57:01knowing I'm not going
00:57:02to stab you in the back
00:57:03but I will stab you
00:57:04in the front
00:57:04stay with Cody
00:57:05he's going to undo
00:57:06that bottom rope
00:57:08he should refuse
00:57:10to hand the torch
00:57:10well cool
00:57:12then I'm going to
00:57:12take it by force
00:57:14what exactly is Cody
00:57:15doing here
00:57:16screwing that turnbuckle
00:57:18the ropes down
00:57:19Cody Rhodes
00:57:20with that piece of steel
00:57:22to be able to tell
00:57:23that story
00:57:24through our faces
00:57:25Cody having doubts
00:57:27again here
00:57:27well uh
00:57:28I mean he's looking
00:57:29at the all time great
00:57:35Cody Rhodes
00:57:36doing anything he can
00:57:37to try to fill
00:57:38the champion
00:57:40that's the beauty
00:57:41of a match like that
00:57:42it's very real
00:57:42up top
00:57:45Cody
00:57:45Connor
00:57:46through the table
00:57:48if you're a babyface
00:57:49you have to stick
00:57:50to those virtues
00:57:53even if it's not
00:57:54something that is
00:57:55making them happy
00:57:56if you're beating up
00:57:57someone that they
00:57:57really love
00:57:58I don't want to do
00:57:59that with any dishonor
00:58:01I want you to know
