00:00:11Summerslam.
00:00:13Summerslam.
00:00:17Does Seth have a match two weeks out?
00:00:22Whatever it is, can blow his knee out.
00:00:26Like, bullshit blows knee out, but we shoot with it like it's legit.
00:00:31Don't tell anybody, you know what I mean?
00:00:34Do the whole shebang.
00:00:36He's on crutches for a couple of weeks.
00:00:38He's got his, like, brace on, and, you know, Summerslam here comes Seth Rollins,
00:00:43throws his crutches, runs down the ring, smashes him, cashes it in,
00:00:47and fucking takes the title.
00:00:48Walks out of there as the champ.
00:00:50Yeah.
00:00:52He'd be such an asshole, too, because he'd probably hobble out for two,
00:00:55four seconds, and then just be like,
00:00:58fucking run out, and then go running down that whole thing.
00:01:02This would be one of those ones where I wouldn't want to fucking tell anybody.
00:01:05Nope.
00:01:06Yeah.
00:01:07If we're gonna do this, we gotta keep it, like, literally this team.
00:01:11Don't put that in the notes.
00:01:14And if we could sell it, like, legitimately like he was fucking hurt and out of Summerslam,
00:01:19you might have some people who, I don't know, this might be a work or something.
00:01:25What is a work?
00:01:26Yeah.
00:01:27Uh, this point I would like to invoke my Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
00:01:35Son of a lawyer, you know.
00:01:44Sorry to disappoint everyone, but I'm not a fan of this show.
00:01:52I grew up in an era where you defended the secrecy of this business.
00:01:58To the point where, if you didn't, you were beaten up and ostracized from the business.
00:02:07It's jarring to someone who grew up in the industry where secrecy was a matter of life and death of
00:02:16your career.
00:02:19I think this show is gonna flow a whole lot better if you simply just depose me.
00:02:27I'll treat this like a deposition.
00:02:30Ask me your questions.
00:02:31I'll tell you no lies.
00:02:34How important is a work in wrestling?
00:02:41How important is a work in wrestling?
00:02:44What?
00:02:45Look at that!
00:02:46Look at that!
00:02:47That's America!
00:02:48Kevin Nash lives!
00:02:51Khali will crush his skull.
00:02:54Oh, no.
00:02:55Oh, my God.
00:02:55No!
00:02:56The work in wrestling, a lot less important today than it used to be, except at a very top level.
00:03:10We had a very famous moment where Tommy Dreamer was in a match against the Sandman.
00:03:15And the Sandman lit his cigarette.
00:03:19And Tommy Dreamer hit the Sandman's hand and a cigarette went into the Sandman's eye.
00:03:24And Tommy Dreamer took the Singapore team and cracked the Sandman in the other eye and the Sandman went down.
00:03:37And for five weeks on television, we were telling you that the Sandman was blind.
00:03:45Stay awake, Hack.
00:03:46You gotta stay awake.
00:03:47Come on.
00:03:48Come on.
00:03:48You gotta shoot him.
00:03:49Come on.
00:03:50Get the camera all the way out of here.
00:03:51For five weeks, he never left his house.
00:03:57He didn't take his kids to school.
00:03:59He didn't go grocery shopping.
00:04:03And we brought him back for his retirement ceremony.
00:04:06It was a very sad moment.
00:04:08The Sandman has already announced his retirement after being blinded.
00:04:13The Sandman peeled off the bandages from his eyes, revealing that he wasn't truly blind.
00:04:20What was this?
00:04:22He can see!
00:04:25He can see!
00:04:26He can see!
00:04:28He can see!
00:04:28He can see!
00:04:2931 years later, people still talk about that.
00:04:34Are you kidding me?
00:04:37Now you tell me, was that a work?
00:04:42Or was it just performance art in which the performance art was protected
00:04:48so that you were more emotionally involved in the moment when he revealed that he wasn't blind?
00:04:58That's how we earn our living.
00:05:10For a lot of business reasons, events are coming faster and more furiously than they have ever come before.
00:05:18You end up with a weekend like we're at, Saturday Night's Main Event, and Evolution.
00:05:23And oh, by the way, they're only three weeks out from SummerSlam.
00:05:27It's incredibly challenging.
00:05:29This weekend, we're also trying to do business with a guy like Jelly Roll.
00:05:36My name is Jason D. Ford, and my mama gave me the name Jelly Roll as well.
00:05:43I was a chunky kid, as you could imagine, like a super fat kid, and I loved donuts.
00:05:48And instead of calling me Jelly Donuts, she called me her little Jelly Roll, and it just stuck.
00:05:52I always thank my mama.
00:05:54She might have called me Slim Jim, I might have had a six pack.
00:05:56I spent my whole life trying to live up to my name.
00:05:59I am 40 years old, and my normal profession is I'm a musician.
00:06:07I don't know where you're at in your life or what you're going through, but I want to tell you
00:06:16to keep going, baby.
00:06:18I want to tell you success is on the other side of it.
00:06:20I want to tell you it's going to be okay.
00:06:23Let's party, Nashville!
00:06:26I'm not a wrestler for those just tuning in.
00:06:30I watched all these celebrities get these cool matches.
00:06:33So when I started doing music and people started noticing me, it was like always kind of my North Star.
00:06:38I was like, I wonder if I'll get famous enough that I'll actually get involved to be in one of
00:06:42these wrestling matches as a celebrity.
00:06:46Boom! Boom! Boom shakalaka!
00:06:48A lot of times we're approached by folks not in the business and celebrities that think this might be fun.
00:06:56It is fun.
00:06:58You have to be able to do it.
00:07:01It was Monday Night Raw in Nashville, 2023.
00:07:07And Randy Orton's there.
00:07:10And it was super, super cool.
00:07:12And that was the first time I was like, dude, I'm famous enough to let me get involved.
00:07:15So it was really cool.
00:07:17The CMN award winner just dumped Dominic.
00:07:20All I got to do was push Dominic Mysterio, but I wasn't physically able to do much more.
00:07:25Summer Slam 2024.
00:07:27When I'm getting up from doing the five knuckle shuffle, I'm hanging onto a rope and R-True's got one
00:07:33arm and Miz has got another arm.
00:07:35And at that moment I realized I was so big that it took two grown men to get me to
00:07:40stand up.
00:07:43I knew that if I didn't do something it was going to kill me.
00:07:47And I just remember leaving there and being like, I will be back next summer a different fucking human.
00:07:59I just kind of shot my shot and I was like, hey, Triple H, I'm losing this weight, man.
00:08:03Like, what's up? You know what I mean?
00:08:05Like, I'm dead serious about this.
00:08:07Training for Summer Slam.
00:08:09We're going to see how much we weigh today.
00:08:14Will it stay on there when I get off?
00:08:15Because I can't even see if I'm so fat and close to it.
00:08:21327 pounds, baby.
00:08:22300 pounds.
00:08:24We're going to walk to that ring that night.
00:08:26Under 300 pounds for the first time since I was probably 14 years old.
00:08:31That exact number, around 330 pounds, was the exact time I jumped off the horse last time I tried to
00:08:38lose the weight.
00:08:40On a selfish level, I need this.
00:08:42This might motivate me to push me past that number I've never seen before on the scale.
00:08:47Jelly Roll approached us.
00:08:49He fought to be a part of Summer Slam.
00:08:53Then Jelly Roll moved, got a house, got two houses actually, in Orlando.
00:08:59One for him and then one for his crew, so that when he finished working out, he went and wrote
00:09:05songs at night.
00:09:06Because that's his job.
00:09:10Walking in that first day and looking at Matt Bloom like, my bubba, I'm not even a good piece of
00:09:16clay here.
00:09:16Every time I chew up, please.
00:09:17That's all right.
00:09:18You got a lot to learn.
00:09:22I have never done a flip, ever.
00:09:25You got a lot to learn.
00:09:28Hey, my side of getting up from here is a bit of a sword.
00:09:32Every day, it scared me.
00:09:34Three, two, one, stop.
00:09:36My fear in wrestling was, had I bit off more than I could chew?
00:09:41Yeah!
00:09:43Was I physically going to be able to do it?
00:09:47You can imagine my first week, my body was going, no, you're not, you're not, there's no way you're going
00:09:52to be ready for this.
00:09:53But, uh, that same dog that came out of me that was determined to make it as a songwriter, started
00:10:00coming out of me in there.
00:10:04From 11 to 2 o'clock every day, I'd let Coach Matt Bloom, Coach Moss, Coach Brookside beat me to
00:10:09death.
00:10:10Let this fella go.
00:10:12Let him go.
00:10:13Wednesday Jelly, we're going to work on selling.
00:10:16You getting your ass kicked.
00:10:26I've never been through something that was more grueling that I cannot wait to get back to doing.
00:10:31Dude, I'm going to fucking have a SummerSlam match.
00:10:34It's going to be the coolest thing ever.
00:10:36Where's the fucking rest of the ass?
00:10:37You skinny motherfucker.
00:10:39What are you weighing?
00:10:40What are you weighing?
00:10:41Right at three months.
00:10:42Yeah?
00:10:43First time since middle school.
00:10:44Fuck.
00:10:45First time since middle school.
00:10:47Yeah, what's your spine feel like?
00:10:49It's fun.
00:10:49God, I can feel it.
00:10:50Right?
00:10:50I know where it's at.
00:10:51My ass crack went down a little bit.
00:10:53Oh my gosh.
00:10:54I'm proud of you, man.
00:10:56Fuck.
00:10:56It's fucking inspiring.
00:10:58Makes me want to go to the gym right fucking down here.
00:11:02I tell you what, did you watch any of the video?
00:11:04I did.
00:11:05He's in better shoes.
00:11:06He's good.
00:11:07He ain't fucking bad.
00:11:08He ain't bad.
00:11:09Yeah.
00:11:10That was...
00:11:10Second time in the ring.
00:11:12Yeah, but I mean like literally they worked out for like an hour or two and then he did
00:11:17like the first five minutes of a match.
00:11:19Yeah.
00:11:20It was pretty good.
00:11:22It's like he was bouncing around the other day like in between shit and he was like throwing
00:11:26jabs and I was like, this motherfucker's Dusty.
00:11:29Like he's like a sloppier version of Dusty.
00:11:32He would get up, he'd get knocked down or whatever and he'd get up and do the like dance around,
00:11:36bounce
00:11:36around shit.
00:11:37And I thought, God damn.
00:11:39There could be something there.
00:11:41And in looking at different people to team with jelly roll, you've got to have a leader.
00:11:47You've got to have someone that can control everybody and everything.
00:11:53Randy Orton was perfect for a tag team partner.
00:11:55When you look at assholes to beat up, you've got Drew McIntyre, that's an easy one.
00:12:00And then Logan Paul.
00:12:01It really fell together very well.
00:12:14I'll be a lot more ready in three weeks.
00:12:16I'm sore.
00:12:17I'm still sore.
00:12:17The first hell, I'm still sore.
00:12:19I'm a weekend.
00:12:20I'm sore now.
00:12:20Shoulder hurts.
00:12:21Neck hurts.
00:12:22I'm bruised everywhere.
00:12:25Once we get cameras out here and everything jelly, we'll go over tonight.
00:12:30When he comes face to face with you, he'll throw the punch.
00:12:33You block it, lay his ass out.
00:12:37Now you go back to Randy and we'll do the Claymore.
00:12:40Does that make sense?
00:12:41You feel good about everything, sir?
00:12:43Great.
00:12:44Yes, sir.
00:12:45The truth is, in this business, one of the hardest things to do is make everybody lose
00:12:50that sense of scripted or unscripted.
00:12:55If we can make people believe that Seth is injured, there's a really cool payoff at the end.
00:13:02There wasn't very many people in on it that knew about it, very much like the John Cena
00:13:07Elimination Chamber situation.
00:13:10For this to work to perfection, that circle of people that were in the know had to be very small.
00:13:15Okay.
00:13:16I want to smarten you up to something that nobody knows.
00:13:19Okay.
00:13:21But I want you to not repeat it to anybody, but you're our guy.
00:13:29You need to know what's going on here.
00:13:31Okay.
00:13:33We're going to do an angle tonight where Seth closes Neo in this match of L.A. night.
00:13:37Okay.
00:13:38Paul.
00:13:40We're going to do this now because they've got to steal L.A.
00:13:43You guys...
00:13:43We're kayfaving this like a motherfucker, so I don't want you to mention it to anybody
00:13:47because everybody will feel like, well, Connor told everybody, you know, got out.
00:13:51The only people that really know me, Bruce, Ed, Bobby Roode, Seth, L.A.
00:13:56Heyman knows because he was there when I came up with it.
00:13:59Yeah.
00:13:59Right now, that's it.
00:14:01I don't know what move they're going to do yet, but he'll do something towards the end
00:14:04of the match where he, like, blows his knee out.
00:14:06And L.A. sets up for the next thing, but, like, Seth ain't there.
00:14:09He's not coming.
00:14:10He's down.
00:14:10He goes to Jess.
00:14:11Jess gives the X.
00:14:13Medical comes out.
00:14:14Legit.
00:14:15Goes to him.
00:14:16Wow.
00:14:17He'll call an audible.
00:14:18Yeah.
00:14:19Which Jess will go tell L.A. night.
00:14:21Did the referee need to know?
00:14:22No.
00:14:24Her responsibility is report if somebody is injured or not injured.
00:14:28Did medical need to know?
00:14:30Yes.
00:14:31Because I can't let them believe an injury is real.
00:14:34If they believe an injury is real, they have the power to shut it all down.
00:14:38Wise man once told me two people you can't lie to in life, your lawyer and your doctor.
00:14:43We'll take a BFT from L.A. night and get beat.
00:14:46L.A. night will leave.
00:14:47We'll help Seth out of the ring.
00:14:49Yeah.
00:14:50One of the few people that I couldn't in good conscience let think that this was real was L.A.
00:14:56night.
00:14:58I'm sure Seth will just say, tell him to, when I pull myself up, tell him to fucking give me
00:15:02his finish and just go over and, like, whether you kick him, you give it to him, or just he'll
00:15:07feed you and you just give it, you know what I mean?
00:15:08No.
00:15:09No.
00:15:09We'll figure that out.
00:15:11But Seth came to me and he said, why does L.A. night need to know?
00:15:13I don't feel like he needs to know.
00:15:14And I said, Seth, if the roles were reversed on this and I didn't tell you, you would be out
00:15:20of your mind pissed at me.
00:15:22Because you're a professional and you're in the ring and your first thought is make sure your opponent is safe
00:15:27and doesn't get hurt and all these things.
00:15:29And he gets hurt on your watch.
00:15:32And then you find out later it was all bullshit.
00:15:35You'd be out of your mind mad that I didn't clue you in on that.
00:15:38And he paused for a few seconds.
00:15:41Looking at me like, fair enough.
00:15:43And he never brought it up again, right?
00:15:45He has to know.
00:15:46If you're able to like, if he just feeds you and you pull him out and you just hit it,
00:15:51as awkward as it could possibly look.
00:15:53And be very careful hooking his leg.
00:15:56But we're going to play it off as full blown legit.
00:15:59Yeah, this is going to hook him.
00:16:00So he's out.
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:01Oh, that's great.
00:16:02Awesome.
00:16:03Okay.
00:16:06Oh, happy day.
00:16:08Oh, happy day.
00:16:10Oh, happy day.
00:16:11Oh, happy day.
00:16:12I was nervous about everything.
00:16:14I was nervous about could I hurt somebody.
00:16:16What if I come in this business for just one night into their world selfishly and I hurt one of
00:16:20these guys.
00:16:21You know, I didn't want nobody to get hurt on my watch.
00:16:23That was super important to me.
00:16:24Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:16:27Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:16:29Ba-la-la-la-la-la.
00:16:30Ba-la-la-la-la-la.
00:16:32He taught me how.
00:16:36All right, yeah, there you go.
00:16:38The hardest part of that night was fireworks happening inside of me and me not being able to emote it.
00:16:45Tonight, everyone is buzzing about this spectacle.
00:16:50Celebrity night's main event.
00:16:52Arrow.
00:17:00Ah, good, good, good, good.
00:17:04Okay.
00:17:05Everybody, we're good.
00:17:07Okay.
00:17:08Great straight rock and roll.
00:17:12Let's do this, baby.
00:17:14I live on TV.
00:17:16Making his winner race.
00:17:17Being accompanied by a four-time Grammy-nominated country artist, Jelly Roll from St. Louis, Missouri,
00:17:26The Viper, Randy Ortex.
00:17:36Tremendous history between these two.
00:17:38They know each other extremely well.
00:17:45McIntyre's dominating early.
00:17:47Logan Paul enjoying what he's seeing.
00:17:49Jelly Roll less so.
00:17:51Logan and Jelly now.
00:17:52Here it is.
00:17:54Come on.
00:17:55You're in the wrong arena, buddy.
00:17:57And I told you that yesterday.
00:17:59And I'm gonna tell you again.
00:18:01You're in the wrong arena.
00:18:02You've brought me off more times.
00:18:04Man, you're going wrong, brother.
00:18:06I'm pushing you, man.
00:18:07Logan Paul's run by Jelly Roll.
00:18:11And Randy Orton hit RKO out of nowhere.
00:18:14Buddy Orton.
00:18:15Here's the cover.
00:18:18Oh, you're in the win.
00:18:19Let's see Jelly fire up.
00:18:21Nice.
00:18:23And now, Logan roll the lucky punch to the jaw of Randy Orton.
00:18:30And now, Logan Paul unloading on Orton.
00:18:33Jelly Roll has seen it off.
00:18:35Jelly Roll is not a fighter.
00:18:39No!
00:18:45Oh!
00:18:47Right hand!
00:18:48Jelly with the right hand!
00:18:54Oh!
00:18:56Oh!
00:18:56Oh!
00:18:59Oh!
00:19:00Oh, a Claymore by McIntyre.
00:19:05Jelly Roll is a musician.
00:19:07Stay out of the ring.
00:19:13If I were to describe Jelly Roll, he's a natural performer.
00:19:18He's someone who's performed all over the world.
00:19:22He does shows where people come just to see him.
00:19:26You could just tell that he's a lifelong fan.
00:19:29He loves this business, and he's been watching
00:19:32because he knows what it takes to perform in that ring,
00:19:35and he just did it so well.
00:19:38Hey, Randy.
00:19:39Me?
00:19:39Ha-ha!
00:19:40Fucking Jelly.
00:19:41How'd I do, baby?
00:19:43How'd I do?
00:19:43It was awesome.
00:19:44It was fucking awesome, man.
00:19:46I was so impressed.
00:19:48He blew anyone else out of the water
00:19:50that's ever tried to step out of their world
00:19:52and step into ours.
00:19:55Congrats, man.
00:19:56How'd I do?
00:19:57Fucking badass.
00:19:58Am I getting over it?
00:19:58Fucking bad.
00:19:59You heard him chant Jelly?
00:20:01Oh, God.
00:20:02Listen, I'm going to go home and watch this
00:20:03like I did last night and make notes and get better.
00:20:05Dude, you heard him chanting your name?
00:20:07Yeah.
00:20:07Fucking great.
00:20:08When I heard the Jelly Roll chant,
00:20:09it was like, Jelly, Jelly Roll.
00:20:12That's why I love wrestling.
00:20:14Unique to the WWE universe.
00:20:16I'll never hear that again at a Jelly Roll show in my life
00:20:18unless God and the WWE blessed me to come back there.
00:20:23Well, what a...
00:20:25For a megastar, what a down-to-earth dude.
00:20:29What's up, my brother?
00:20:29I love you so much.
00:20:31Do you see me?
00:20:32Yes.
00:20:32Are you being serious?
00:20:33It was awesome.
00:20:33Yeah, you...
00:20:35We didn't even know you were here.
00:20:36We just came to see you.
00:20:36Hey, that's good shit.
00:20:39It's going to be good, man.
00:20:40Oh, yeah.
00:20:41Yeah.
00:20:42I wasn't really sure when Bruce first sat me down.
00:20:44What was that?
00:20:45I wasn't really sure when Bruce first sat me down.
00:20:49Put it this way.
00:20:50Having seen that motherfucker train,
00:20:52because at first I was like,
00:20:54I'll put him in a little something.
00:20:55It'll be a fucking big deal.
00:20:57I watched him go in and train twice.
00:20:58They sent me the video, so I was like,
00:21:01okay, now I'm thinking bigger.
00:21:02And I was like, he's all in, dude.
00:21:04I'm very thankful for this part.
00:21:07Let's not...
00:21:08Yeah.
00:21:08...sign of the fact.
00:21:14A lot of the creative ideas that I've had in my career
00:21:19have been mine.
00:21:20This one I can't take full credit for.
00:21:23What I saw when this idea was presented to me
00:21:26was an endgame that created a moment
00:21:30that was special and memorable.
00:21:35That's really what our industry is,
00:21:37is a series of moments.
00:21:39Storytelling that builds to special moments
00:21:42that affect our audience on a deep level.
00:21:48If this was a real situation,
00:21:50how would we all react?
00:21:52I didn't want to overreact.
00:21:53I think Triple H as well,
00:21:55and Bruce and Guerrilla acted as if it was real.
00:21:58There was only four people, five people, six,
00:22:00maybe at the most,
00:22:01that actually knew what the situation actually was.
00:22:05Two-time United States champion L.A. Knight
00:22:07battling the five-time world champion Seth Rollins.
00:22:11Oh.
00:22:11Seth Rollins,
00:22:12and Rollins now launched outside the ring to the pool.
00:22:15Time to keep going.
00:22:17Oh!
00:22:18We did have to make sure
00:22:20that we didn't get the bell rung.
00:22:21You know, in situations like that
00:22:22when someone is actually hurt,
00:22:24typically we'll ring the bell right away.
00:22:26We had to be very, very careful
00:22:28that we didn't do that.
00:22:30Brian,
00:22:31kayfeg, just me and you,
00:22:32a little bit of fucking fuckery here.
00:22:37Kayfeg fuckery on the end of this thing.
00:22:39Do not let the fucking ring bell ring
00:22:43until the one, two, three happens.
00:22:45And I will tell you when.
00:22:48As I wrapped my head around it,
00:22:50I realized it was a brilliant piece of storytelling.
00:22:53But you want to protect everybody involved.
00:22:56You want to protect the company.
00:22:58You want to protect your baby faces.
00:23:01In this case, L.A. Knight.
00:23:03Oh!
00:23:04The ring to the midsection.
00:23:06Frog splash coming.
00:23:07The visionary now,
00:23:08heading up to the top rope,
00:23:10looking to put L.A. Knight away.
00:23:11Frog splash to the injured midsection,
00:23:13and rins.
00:23:14Rollins for the win.
00:23:15Hook to the leg,
00:23:16and a kick out.
00:23:19That's the fun part of what we do as performers.
00:23:21You never know.
00:23:22You never know when it's a work
00:23:23and when it's a shoot.
00:23:26L.A. Knight for the top drive.
00:23:28An outknight looking to rally.
00:23:33And that gray area
00:23:34is what makes us special as performers.
00:23:38If you can see through
00:23:39every single thing that we do,
00:23:41it becomes...
00:23:43boring.
00:23:54When you get into the excitement
00:23:57of telling a story,
00:23:59you look to exhaust
00:24:01whatever resources you have
00:24:04to tell that story
00:24:05in the best possible way.
00:24:08And Rollins
00:24:09with a buckle bomb.
00:24:11I don't think there's any line
00:24:12that can't be crossed.
00:24:14It's just you got to figure out
00:24:15what's worth crossing.
00:24:18And now Rollins.
00:24:19Oh, there's that flying senton.
00:24:21Springboard senton
00:24:22by Rollins.
00:24:23And now a moonshot.
00:24:24Lands on his feet.
00:24:25They have tweaked his knee.
00:24:28And now L.A. Knight
00:24:30with an opportunity.
00:24:31It's not okay.
00:24:32Rollins into the corner.
00:24:33The official air
00:24:34to check on Rollins.
00:24:36Oh, no.
00:24:38Back off L.A.
00:24:39Back off L.A.
00:24:40Back off L.A.
00:24:40Tell him to give him a minute.
00:24:42Rollins tweaking his knee.
00:24:43Heyman over to check on his man.
00:24:45Let's get...
00:24:46Do we need the dog?
00:24:47Do we need the dog?
00:24:51He said he needs the dog.
00:24:53Fuck!
00:24:56The ringside doctor now
00:24:57is over consulting
00:24:58with the official
00:24:59on the situation with Rollins.
00:25:03What's he saying, Jess?
00:25:04Is he all right?
00:25:07You hear that?
00:25:09You good with that?
00:25:10Who's that?
00:25:11He said...
00:25:12Seth is fucked.
00:25:13He said L.A. hit his finish.
00:25:15Okay.
00:25:15You got to do it.
00:25:16Tell L.A.
00:25:17Tell L.A.
00:25:18Just whatever Seth told him.
00:25:21Rollins hobbling back up
00:25:22into the corner.
00:25:23L.A. Knight.
00:25:23BF BF T by L.A. Knight.
00:25:26This is the finish.
00:25:27Finish, finish.
00:25:28Hover now.
00:25:28Hook of the leg
00:25:29at night with the ring.
00:25:33Go, Larry.
00:25:36Get Doc in there.
00:25:37Get Doc in there.
00:25:38And that is a bleak sight
00:25:39seeing Seth freaking Rollins
00:25:42down and out.
00:25:43Get L.A. out.
00:25:44Tell him to sell up the ramp.
00:25:48Truly catastrophic moment here.
00:25:52Is that his bad knee?
00:25:53The knee that he's...
00:25:53I don't know.
00:25:54Just give him some room.
00:25:58Moments ago, Rollins tweaking the knee.
00:26:01It appears to be much more serious
00:26:03than we first thought.
00:26:08When the time comes,
00:26:09everything changes.
00:26:12And I think that suddenness
00:26:14is what alerts people
00:26:16to believing
00:26:19that it's real.
00:26:20And that's the art of it.
00:26:22Anybody that doesn't need a beer,
00:26:23get everybody out of here
00:26:25so he can get through.
00:26:27What matters this much,
00:26:30this much doubt,
00:26:33that's all we need.
00:26:35This much doubt.
00:26:37If you have that,
00:26:38that's where the magic happens
00:26:40in our business.
00:26:42That's what makes it special.
00:26:43Just that little bit
00:26:44of I don't know.
00:26:46Did it come off okay, Bob?
00:26:47Unbelievable.
00:26:48Just out of nowhere.
00:26:49Out of nowhere.
00:26:50Yep.
00:26:51The way they shot it,
00:26:52Jess is...
00:26:53Everything.
00:26:54Everything was really good.
00:26:55How did it feel out there?
00:26:57Feel legit?
00:26:58Awkward.
00:26:58Awkward, yeah.
00:26:59Yeah.
00:26:59It was supposed to feel awkward.
00:27:01It was awkward backstage, too.
00:27:02It was great.
00:27:08It was awkward as hell,
00:27:09but that's kind of what sold it.
00:27:11So, um,
00:27:12with it being that awkward,
00:27:13it just kind of, you know,
00:27:14it probably felt flat in the moment,
00:27:16but that also allowed people
00:27:17to be like,
00:27:18oh, shit.
00:27:19Okay.
00:27:20Yeah, dude's really hurt.
00:27:21Just put the camera's off
00:27:23in just two seconds, please.
00:27:25L.A. Knight played it perfectly.
00:27:27His facial expressions
00:27:28were on point of,
00:27:30oh, shit.
00:27:30No.
00:27:32You could see his confusion
00:27:34and you could see his,
00:27:36ah, shit.
00:27:37Okay.
00:27:39It helped fans to believe
00:27:42in the moment that,
00:27:44hmm, something real just happened.
00:27:49L.A. did great.
00:27:50Played it to a T.
00:27:51We were able to get out
00:27:52of that situation,
00:27:53making it look like
00:27:54it was an actual real injury.
00:27:58You know, you got cameras
00:27:59and shit all over the world.
00:28:00and behind her up your ass
00:28:01and shit all over the world.
00:28:02I, I'll be,
00:28:03until I get back to the bus
00:28:05because you might want to be kidding me.
00:28:07All right.
00:28:08From the second
00:28:10I got hurt,
00:28:11you had speculation
00:28:13all over the internet
00:28:15about what,
00:28:16what this was going to lead to,
00:28:17if it was real,
00:28:18if it was not real.
00:28:19Wow, Seth Rollins
00:28:20really might be answered.
00:28:22Yeah.
00:28:24There was every story
00:28:25under the sun.
00:28:26And so,
00:28:28when everything was flooded,
00:28:30you had no idea
00:28:31what the truth was.
00:28:47No one really knew
00:28:49what was going on.
00:29:11The most important thing
00:29:13about five minutes handstands,
00:29:15like,
00:29:16keep
00:29:17my
00:29:19mentality.
00:29:24Of course,
00:29:26it's so hard.
00:29:27Five minutes handstands,
00:29:28I really think about it.
00:29:30I want to fall.
00:29:34Hey!
00:29:36But,
00:29:37I always think about it.
00:29:38I can do it.
00:29:39I have to do it
00:29:40because
00:29:41I am the champion.
00:29:43Four,
00:29:44three,
00:29:45two,
00:29:46one.
00:29:51Five,
00:29:53six.
00:29:55My first name is Masami
00:29:58in real name.
00:29:59So,
00:30:00Masami,
00:30:01but nobody called me Masami
00:30:02because I started wrestling
00:30:04since 16 years old.
00:30:07I used to
00:30:08use myリングネームイオシュライ
00:30:12Oh my what!イオシュライ!
00:30:17But now, my name
00:30:31isイオスカイうん、なんでまあ、私のスタイルがこう、とにかく高いところから飛ぶもちろん、ケージの上から飛び降りたり
00:30:33Sky with a
00:30:34missile drop kick!
00:30:35I like hide!カンゼン、コネクト!
00:30:39And my finisher move is over the moonsault to you.
00:30:44Genius in the sky! Moves out! Cover!
00:30:49In our sky!
00:30:51World Games is my favorite.
00:30:53I did climb up the cage and then I put on the trash can.
00:31:01Put on my head.
00:31:29私はなんてバカなんだって思いましたその時すごく怖くなったんですけどああもうこれ以上怖いって思う前に飛ぶしかないって言ってもう飛び降りました
00:31:33Oh my god!
00:31:37EOSCAR from the top of the cage!
00:31:40With a trash can on her head! Wipe it out everybody!
00:31:47So that's crazy. I know.
00:31:53I'm so short. My height is 5.2.
00:32:00158cm.
00:32:01So walking outside like I walk on the street so nobody think about I am a wrestler.
00:32:07EO from day one to me just had this innate charisma.
00:32:13EOSCAR!
00:32:15When she walks out there's just little things she does.
00:32:19If I said to somebody five years ago hey we're gonna have a female then that is going to be
00:32:25like this huge thing right?
00:32:26Like you'd be like get out of here.
00:32:28EOSCAR!
00:32:28EOSCAR!
00:32:29When she does it it's money. It's spectacular.
00:32:32If I was to get decimated on a roster of people and say we gotta start over I would look
00:32:38at it and say if you leave me EO I'm good.
00:32:45EOSCAR!
00:32:45The impetus for the Evolution POE kind of dates back about a decade to around 2015.
00:32:51Our audience kind of took to social media.
00:32:54They wanted our female superstars to have as much air time and investment in their stories as the male superstars
00:33:02do.
00:33:03So that's where the concept of Evolution came about.
00:33:05And it carried on to then this past year where we did our second Evolution POE.
00:33:12The main event with Rhea Ripley versus EOSCAR was a perfect main event for that show because one Rhea and
00:33:20EO have amazing chemistry.
00:33:22But also because Rhea Ripley who some may argue our biggest superstar in general has never beaten EOSCAR.
00:33:30And so it was kind of that quest to kind of you know win back the title that Rhea has
00:33:34lost.
00:33:36EOSCAR conquers!
00:33:38Over the left zone connects!
00:33:39Skye!
00:33:40Cover!
00:33:41Push the lead!
00:33:42EOSCAR is the world champion!
00:33:46And so that quest to kind of see Rhea finally conquer what she has not yet been able to conquer
00:33:51was just kind of a natural kind of big fight feel storyline for that show.
00:33:55At Evolution, I can choose who to defend the women's world championship.
00:34:04And that means we are Rhea Ripley!
00:34:25Vesselmaniaでチャンピオンシップをやったことよりもエボリューションでメインイベント何でかっていうとエボリューションは女子だけのウィメンズディビジョンだけのショーなのでっていうことを私とRheaが表現しなきゃいけないと思ってたので。
00:34:27You're on!
00:34:29You're on!
00:34:40感情がものすごく責任感と緊張感と重みがものすごくのしかかってます。
00:34:47The Money in the Bank briefcase contains the contract for you to be able to cash in on any champion,
00:34:53anytime, anywhere.
00:34:55That's so much power.
00:35:00Whoever has the Money in the Bank briefcase, you have to keep it with you and take it everywhere you
00:35:05go.
00:35:06But I also clean it out when I'm traveling so I don't get in trouble.
00:35:12Because I be having all kind of stuff in there.
00:35:15I'm just packing my briefcase.
00:35:18New caution belt.
00:35:19Mm-hmm. Choke somebody.
00:35:20What you call this?
00:35:22A thong harness.
00:35:24It goes like...
00:35:26Hmm.
00:35:27Ah!
00:35:28Okay.
00:35:29I like it.
00:35:30Yeah, go ahead.
00:35:31Caution fan.
00:35:33Got it all.
00:35:36Fateful.
00:35:37Fateful.
00:35:38Fully charged.
00:35:39This is just in case you're trying to shock a bitch.
00:35:41Some pepper gel.
00:35:43Hey, hold on.
00:35:44Pepper gel.
00:35:44Hold on.
00:35:45What is it?
00:35:45The lock is on.
00:35:46It's on security.
00:35:47You don't even know how to use it.
00:35:49It's okay.
00:35:50I'll figure it out on the day of.
00:35:52Gear.
00:35:53Fresh pack of blades.
00:35:55A little something to take the edge off.
00:35:57Always got to have a fresh wig on deck.
00:36:00Never know when this one will get snatched.
00:36:02Rat pellets to poison jade ass.
00:36:04And my contract.
00:36:08Hold on, hold on.
00:36:09I got one more thing left.
00:36:10Hold on.
00:36:10Hold on, girl.
00:36:11Before you close that, go on.
00:36:12Go and put this.
00:36:14Go and put this right up in there.
00:36:15Hold on.
00:36:16You want to do some crazy thing about your boy?
00:36:18Aw, foofy.
00:36:21All right.
00:36:22I can't do nothing without my foofy foofy.
00:36:25You know that makes you an accomplice now.
00:36:28I love you.
00:36:28You're doing good, though.
00:36:29I love you.
00:36:30I love you.
00:36:30I love you so much.
00:36:41Naomi, did you get all your junk out of there before they take it away from you?
00:36:44When the time is right, I'll pull her out.
00:36:46Is that your regular legitimate suitcase?
00:36:49What the fuck is going on in there?
00:36:51Shot glass?
00:37:11I was telling Io to possibly make a moment out of this, like, climb up here, act like
00:37:18she's going to dive, then look up, go up further, if you think that's warranted.
00:37:25Edge will be right here.
00:37:27So you're going to be right there.
00:37:29That's the edge.
00:37:30Right there.
00:37:31Yeah.
00:37:32Okay?
00:37:33Yeah.
00:37:34You want somebody to bring you a trash can?
00:37:37Right in.
00:37:38This is an area that we are prepping for one of Io Sky's high falls, you know, which
00:37:45she loves height.
00:37:50What's your, what is your concern?
00:37:55The bump that Rhea's got to take.
00:37:56Yeah, it's a hell of a bump.
00:37:57Are you patting this?
00:37:59Yes.
00:37:59I just want you to hit your head on the floor.
00:38:01Yeah.
00:38:02It's always a challenge to creatively make it look like it's part of our backstage gear,
00:38:09but to also give her a safe platform.
00:38:12Yeah.
00:38:13Could you lay down?
00:38:13Yeah.
00:38:15Of course.
00:38:18All right.
00:38:21I have no words how I'm feeling, so I'm just nervous and excited.
00:38:28Show must go on.
00:38:30Yeah.
00:38:31Come back to the two of you in the ring, like both sitting in the corner fucking selling
00:38:34looking at each other like, what the fuck?
00:38:37Right?
00:38:37Yeah.
00:38:38Okay.
00:38:39You can actually say that, like what the fuck?
00:38:41Yeah.
00:38:41You know what I mean?
00:38:42What the fuck?
00:38:43Yeah.
00:38:44See?
00:38:44See?
00:38:45It still sounds cute.
00:38:46Phenomenal when you say it, yeah.
00:38:47It does.
00:38:48What the, you know, anybody else you go their cuss, say, ah, it's Io.
00:38:52Too cute.
00:38:54It's a Japanese accent.
00:38:55Yeah.
00:38:57That weekend of Evolution in Georgia ended up having a triple threat match.
00:39:02I'd had matches with Bayley, I'd had matches with Becky, but this time I had the two of them.
00:39:07I had been in a tag team with Bayley coming up to Mania.
00:39:11Bayley and Valkyria are heading to WrestleMania to take on the tag champs.
00:39:17And then we found out that Becky was returning and she was essentially going to take Bayley's
00:39:24spot as my tag team partner for the biggest show of the year.
00:39:28Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:39:29What happened?
00:39:29What happened?
00:39:30Are you good?
00:39:30What happened?
00:39:31It was, like, bittersweet in a way when I was told that this was going to happen because,
00:39:37you know, I was excited to have Becky back.
00:39:39But, like, it started really singing, like, how much it sucks.
00:39:42Like, as professional as I can be, man, I worked for that, you know?
00:39:46I worked for that.
00:39:48Bayley deserved to have a WrestleMania match.
00:39:51And I was taking her out.
00:39:54And really, right up until the last moment, I was like, ah, should we maybe do this differently?
00:39:58I mean, I'm not even on social media, so I don't know.
00:40:01But I believe the vibe is, like, they're like, oh, it's going to be Becky.
00:40:05Ah, that's going to, ah, when you feel bad for Bayley.
00:40:08So, in a last minute picture, you can tell me to go fuck off.
00:40:11So...
00:40:11WrestleMania is like Christmas.
00:40:13You're being good all year long so that you get the most amount of toys on Christmas Day.
00:40:18Like, that's how it works.
00:40:20It felt like I was the Grinch.
00:40:23Like, I'm taking all your toys.
00:40:24I know, you don't want to take it away from her.
00:40:26We don't want to take it away from her.
00:40:27I hear you.
00:40:28You know?
00:40:28I hear you.
00:40:30Let me think about it.
00:40:31Let me think about it.
00:40:32Anybody else?
00:40:33I got kind of pissed at Becky.
00:40:35Fuck him.
00:40:36But, like, I don't want to be put in the match because we begged for it.
00:40:41I had already accepted it at that point.
00:40:43So happy and excited.
00:40:45I'm so happy for you.
00:40:46So we took this thing that happened, that we had no control over, that was very real, and used it
00:40:54on screen.
00:40:54I keep hoping things will go back to the way they were with us before WrestleMania, but you just won't
00:40:58let that happen.
00:40:59We went on from that moment and told the story with the three of us. Evolution, the women's show.
00:41:05It was so important that we had a banger.
00:41:10Welcome to Atlanta.
00:41:13Tonight, we get ready for an historic event.
00:41:16WWE Evolution.
00:41:18Here we go.
00:41:20Fuck yeah, Bayley.
00:41:24For Becky Lynch, it's about defending the title tonight.
00:41:27The Intercontinental Championship defended a triple threat match for the first time ever.
00:41:38The crowd sounds different, right?
00:41:40I think there's a lot more girls.
00:41:42I love it.
00:41:44Here we go.
00:41:52They're on their feet in Atlanta!
00:41:54Damn, they're going crazy already.
00:41:57First woman to gain pinfall or submission becomes the Intercontinental Champion.
00:42:08Oh!
00:42:08Dog eat dog world at the very top.
00:42:12There's no friendship.
00:42:14Ignorance says your new best friend.
00:42:17Ignorance says your new best friend.
00:42:19And this is the best thing that could have happened.
00:42:22Any longer, and I would have made it.
00:42:25It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture.
00:42:28I'm just a person, but you are a champion.
00:42:31Just a trick set.
00:42:32Hell yeah, Lyra.
00:42:33They won't get you anywhere.
00:42:36I'm not the same kid from your memory.
00:42:39Well, now I can fend for you.
00:42:42So wanna hear your sad song.
00:42:44I wanna bring your pain.
00:42:45Wanna tell us I'm my fault.
00:42:47Cause you know you're not the same.
00:42:48I'm not the same.
00:42:50But we're not the same.
00:42:54This crowd is red hot tonight.
00:42:57Well, they are getting a show from these three women.
00:43:00Three of the absolute best.
00:43:02They're doing fucking awesome.
00:43:12Bayley's hair is magnificent.
00:43:14Looks like Michael Hayes in the morning.
00:43:17She looks insane.
00:43:19Like if it was blue, she would look like fucking Marge Simpson, right?
00:43:28Oh my god.
00:43:38Bayley saves the match up.
00:43:40Perfect timing.
00:43:41We're heading home right here.
00:43:43Here comes our finish, guys.
00:43:49Rose plant finally.
00:43:52Bayley stacks up Lyra.
00:43:54Becky from behind.
00:43:56Nice.
00:43:58Becky returns.
00:44:03Here is your winner.
00:44:05The man.
00:44:07Becky Lynch.
00:44:13That was great.
00:44:15I'll tell you right now.
00:44:16This is the coolest pin I have ever seen in my entire time watching wrestling.
00:44:24One, two, three.
00:44:30All three women brought that absolute A game tonight.
00:44:34Becky Lynch successfully retains the Women's Intercontinental Championship in a classic.
00:44:44Is that alright?
00:44:45Yeah.
00:44:46No, more than alright.
00:44:46Hell yeah.
00:44:48You okay?
00:44:54I was just zapped back to 2018 to show myself one match.
00:45:00Just even the flash of the match graphic of me, Becky and Bayley.
00:45:03I genuinely wouldn't believe it.
00:45:05That finish was awesome.
00:45:07Yeah.
00:45:07It looked great.
00:45:09I'm a fucking athlete.
00:45:12Not the only athlete in Ireland now, huh?
00:45:16No, honestly, I'm not that great of an athlete.
00:45:18So, like, that was the most athletic I've ever felt in my entire life.
00:45:23I'm in there with two of the best.
00:45:25And it's an honor to be right there side by side.
00:45:28Oh my God, that crowd was wild.
00:45:30What a crowd.
00:45:31Oh yeah.
00:45:32Oh yeah.
00:45:33Yeah.
00:45:33My favorite thing about what we do has always been the magic you feel when everyone in the
00:45:37room is on the same journey watching a wrestling match.
00:45:41Like, there's nothing better.
00:45:42And to have had that evolution, like, to wrestle two women that really made me want to do this
00:45:46on this specific card, you just can't summarize how special this is to me and how much it means
00:45:50to every woman in this locker room today.
00:45:53Breathe.
00:45:56The following is a no holds barred match.
00:46:05In this match, there are no count outs, no disqualifications, no holds barred.
00:46:14Time to make order.
00:46:17Here to get the girlies in check.
00:46:19Tonight, this is done.
00:46:20Please welcome special guest referee, Bianca Belair.
00:46:32You know, Wade, we were talking earlier today about whether Bianca Belair could call this
00:46:35one down the middle.
00:46:36Yeah, where do Belair's loyalties really lie?
00:46:39Hasn't spoken to either Naomi or Jade really since Elimination Chamber.
00:46:45We knew where we wanted to end.
00:46:46We knew that we had Naomi that was going to cash in.
00:46:51We knew we were going there.
00:46:53But first, the culmination of the Naomi-Jade rivalry.
00:46:58This is the fourth women's no holds barred match in WWE history.
00:47:04Naomi, not thinking about the contract tonight.
00:47:07She's thinking about surviving Jade Cargill.
00:47:11Here she comes.
00:47:12Spear by Cargill!
00:47:14And now a steel chain.
00:47:18Cleaning the clock from Naomi.
00:47:20Jade Cargill just grabbed the camera from the cameraman and now...
00:47:25Gonna be up close and personal!
00:47:29And Jade now measuring Naomi.
00:47:32And a big kick!
00:47:33Jack!
00:47:33Weapons match.
00:47:35Jade beat the hell out of Naomi.
00:47:37Nice chair shot!
00:47:39We're working to the Jaded.
00:47:41Please hit this, girls.
00:47:42From up there!
00:47:43She'll break her in half!
00:47:47Jaded!
00:47:47Good shift!
00:47:52Cargill with the win!
00:47:54Have them tell Naomi to sell big.
00:47:59B, tell Naomi to sell big.
00:48:01Naomi has to sell big no matter what.
00:48:04Tell Naomi don't move.
00:48:05Just stay down.
00:48:07I thought it was pulled off to perfection.
00:48:12When Naomi was in the ring, you think,
00:48:15I have seen the last of Naomi.
00:48:17You don't even think about the Money in the Bank briefcase.
00:48:22Do you have something to do now?
00:48:24Or do you want to go...
00:48:25I have to do this kind of running.
00:48:28Okay.
00:48:31Let me see if they want to glue it first.
00:48:34Are you doing it during this match?
00:48:35Next time.
00:48:36Okay.
00:48:36You got like 30 minutes.
00:48:37Okay.
00:48:40I would just let the blood drip and dry.
00:48:43Okay.
00:48:45All right, Brewer.
00:48:46We're every bit of 25, 30 minutes.
00:48:48Can you go 20?
00:48:49Fuck no!
00:48:50Okay.
00:48:51You make the others do their fucking times.
00:48:53I'm the fucking main event.
00:48:55Oh, damn right.
00:48:55I'm gonna do what the fuck I want to.
00:48:59The following contest scheduled for one fall is for...
00:49:04The Women's World Championship!
00:49:12The audience doesn't want good, clean, squeaky girls.
00:49:15They want badass bitches.
00:49:17That's why they love her.
00:49:18Exactly.
00:49:20The women's grand-funky girls.
00:49:23Real looking to win four world championship.
00:49:26She's won tag titles in NXT titles in the Royal Rumble.
00:49:31But tonight would feel oh so good for the Eradicator.
00:49:35From Tokyo, Japan,
00:49:40EO SKY!
00:49:43Remember what happened back in March
00:49:46when EO SKY shocked everyone,
00:49:49taking the championship from Rhea Ripley.
00:49:54The two best female wrestlers of planet Earth in 2025.
00:49:59The question remains, though, who is one and who is two?
00:50:18EO SKY, D.D.T!
00:50:22Oh, Rhea said, oh, interception.
00:50:25Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
00:50:27Stopped in the midsection!
00:50:29Ripley is really rough here now.
00:50:36Rhea's avenger in the second.
00:50:40Into a powerbomb.
00:50:46There were so many counters as EO SKY!
00:50:48Oh, my God!
00:50:49Oh, shit!
00:50:51Oh, God! A poisoned Rana!
00:50:54Are we okay?
00:50:55God, you just feel the adrenaline in this arena.
00:50:58They're witnessing something very special.
00:51:01After no referee, he's going to go fucking apeshit.
00:51:06EO topper.
00:51:07Oh, no!
00:51:09Rhea ducked out of harm's way.
00:51:11Oh, EO in and partly hit the official.
00:51:14Rhea Ripley now.
00:51:15And a rip tie in the sky.
00:51:17One, two, three.
00:51:20Rhea Ripley has got pinned, but there's no official.
00:51:24Hey!
00:51:24Hey!
00:51:25Hey!
00:51:26Hey!
00:51:26Hey!
00:51:27Hey!
00:51:27Marie was taken out of this match.
00:51:29Rhea Ripley had the damn match won,
00:51:31but there was no official to count.
00:51:34This must feel like a curse to Rhea Ripley.
00:51:38Nice, Rhea.
00:51:40Good shit.
00:51:45How does her little body take all that?
00:51:49Yeah!
00:51:53This is spelling out all over the place.
00:51:57Rhea Ripley and Sky fighting into the WWE universe.
00:52:01And Rhea Ripley, understandably, has now completely lost it.
00:52:05I am not quite sure what Rhea Ripley is capable of
00:52:08in the state of mind that she is in right now.
00:52:12Trying to have to see the floor at their feet if you can
00:52:14until we get over there.
00:52:16And now on the equipment case,
00:52:17it's over there in the corner of this arena.
00:52:20Once EO counters this, she's going to go to that first level.
00:52:23Well, it's going to be nasty as hell.
00:52:26The pause, look up, and go one step higher.
00:52:32Oh, no!
00:52:35Don't do it, EO!
00:52:37EO!
00:52:38Climb it up high!
00:52:40Right now, right now, right now.
00:52:42Don't get too close to it.
00:52:43I want to see crowd behind it.
00:52:44I want to see how high she is.
00:52:45The genius in the sky with Ripley in trouble.
00:52:49Why now, why now, why now?
00:52:50The highest risk.
00:52:51Superstole of them all!
00:52:53EO and a crossbody, and EO and Rhea are down!
00:52:57Nice!
00:52:58EO to be 20 feet near.
00:53:02They're both women are down.
00:53:08Everybody okay?
00:53:10Two women knocking the hell out of each other
00:53:14in pursuit of excellence,
00:53:16in pursuit of greatness,
00:53:18in pursuit of history.
00:53:20Rip coming.
00:53:22Let me see you coming in.
00:53:23The official's coming, too!
00:53:27EO Sky hits it!
00:53:29The over-the-moon zone,
00:53:31and Rhea can get down!
00:53:33Rhea can get down!
00:53:34Now it's EO Sky's turn
00:53:36to say,
00:53:37what the hell do I do now?
00:53:41Holy hell!
00:53:43Nice!
00:53:44I had a way to cover that shit, Pete.
00:53:46That's storytelling.
00:53:49Rhea Ripley tapping into
00:53:50something different tonight,
00:53:52and it needs it against this version of EO Sky.
00:53:55Rhea Ripley!
00:53:56Oh, my goodness!
00:53:57Manish fly!
00:53:59Both women are down!
00:54:01EO's out!
00:54:02Rhea's out!
00:54:03World title's on the line!
00:54:07I'm ready.
00:54:08You ready, Hunter?
00:54:09Yeah, okay.
00:54:10Here we go.
00:54:20Oh.
00:54:21My.
00:54:22God.
00:54:24Naomi!
00:54:25Naomi!
00:54:26Miss Money in the Bank!
00:54:28With a referee in tow!
00:54:30Okay, once they announce it as a triple threat,
00:54:33a briefcase shot to EO.
00:54:35You can hear this.
00:54:39Ladies and gentlemen,
00:54:41Naomi is cashing in!
00:54:44We're putting in the bank contract!
00:54:46This is now a triple threat match!
00:54:48It's a triple threat match!
00:54:50Anything goes!
00:54:51There are no display locations
00:54:52under triple threat rules!
00:54:54officially cashed in against two completely decimated women!
00:55:02One-legged moonsault!
00:55:04Covered by Naomi!
00:55:07Naomi is the world champion!
00:55:10Holy cow!
00:55:10Here is your winner!
00:55:16Here is your winner!
00:55:17And new women!
00:55:42It was a holy shit moment she's the new champion
00:55:48and she is on top of the world.
00:55:52Me returning, I wanted to be better, do better, become better.
00:55:56This solidifies that. It improves that.
00:56:00It's very emotional. I'm trying to keep it together.
00:56:03First time ever being the women's world champion.
00:56:07Who knows what's ahead of me now?
00:56:09That was just badass. Thank you, thank you.
00:56:11That was badass. How'd that feel? Amazing.
00:56:14It just shows that as women in wrestling,
00:56:17we're still progressing, we're still getting better.
00:56:20For those who have been watching me since 2009,
00:56:23if I could just sum it all up of my journey,
00:56:27it's just to keep going.
00:56:29Evolution is such a massive deal for us women here in the WWE
00:56:32and just women in general.
00:56:33There's a lot of male-dominated things, sports, businesses, etc.
00:56:38So to have something that's like all women
00:56:40is such a massive, massive deal to us.
00:56:44Give me a rock star.
00:56:45I'm so glad.
00:56:47I'm so glad.
00:56:48Thank you so much.
00:56:49Thank you for giving me this opportunity.
00:56:51Oh, so great.
00:56:52You were great.
00:56:53You always believe in me.
00:56:54Thank you so much.
00:56:55I always will.
00:56:56You're looking great.
00:56:57Rock star.
00:56:58A lot of times backstage,
00:57:00I could just call her rock star
00:57:02because I don't know how to put a label on her
00:57:06for anything else.
00:57:07She's just the nicest human being of all time.
00:57:10and we'll do whatever you want
00:57:11and we'll come back and just,
00:57:13she's just hoping that you tell her it was good.
00:57:15And when you tell her it was good,
00:57:16it's like the world lit up for her.
00:57:18You know, most people, when they're up high,
00:57:20they just dive.
00:57:22Yep.
00:57:22Right?
00:57:22No jump.
00:57:23You jump up.
00:57:24Oh, yeah.
00:57:24I did.
00:57:25I did.
00:57:25Very good.
00:57:26Oh, thank you.
00:57:27Yeah, I enjoyed it.
00:57:28I fried.
00:57:29Oh, okay.
00:57:30Oh, thank you.
00:57:31There you go.
00:57:33Lucky.
00:57:34Does that scare you?
00:57:35No, no.
00:57:36I want to be special.
00:57:39I will take any risk
00:57:41to become I am superstar.
00:57:47This is what we work so hard for
00:57:49and it's all accumulated to this moment right here
00:57:52because this is what the future of the women here in WWE
00:57:57are going to show
00:57:58and we're going to take our opportunities.
00:58:00We're not going to wait for them anymore
00:58:02and this is exactly where we start.
00:58:04So it was a really cool experience.
00:58:10Let's talk about Evolution.
00:58:11Just what a night.
00:58:15The bar for what women do in this industry,
00:58:17all of it has been raised so high.
00:58:20Man, they showed tonight
00:58:21what a change that business has been for them.
00:58:25Incredibly proud of them.
00:58:27I'm sure somebody here will ask about Seth.
00:58:30He came here tonight.
00:58:31He was not going to miss his wife's performance tonight.
00:58:34He will be in Birmingham tomorrow with Dr. Dugas.
00:58:37I'll just say right now,
00:58:38a little bit inconclusive.
00:58:40Doesn't look good,
00:58:41but we'll get MRI and hope for the best.
00:58:47So keeping a secret,
00:58:50not letting people know that Seth Rollins doesn't need crutches,
00:58:56that's part of the thrill.
00:58:58Is it secrecy?
00:59:01Is it a work?
00:59:03Or is it simply the planning of performance art?
00:59:11On me.
00:59:14Now.
00:59:16Burn it down!
