00:00A shot at legacy and a chance for vindication.
00:03Roman Reigns, Seth Rican-Rollins, and CM Punk face off in a triple threat match.
00:08Coming up next, who will be leaving Las Vegas holding all the cards?
00:11That answer is moments away.
00:13First, let's revisit the saga of unfinished business that led the Tribal Chief,
00:18the Visionary, and the voice of the voiceless to lay it all on the line
00:21in the main event of WrestleMania Saturday.
00:42We sail into the black.
01:00Twelve years ago, we came down those stairs to remake this company in our image.
01:15We died a long time ago.
01:25You messed up.
01:27And your biggest mistake is not understanding the danger that's right in front of us.
01:33For two people, it's clearly personal.
01:37For me, it's just business.
01:41It's become simple math.
01:43The two men who want to stand in my way, got to go.
01:48It's in there.
01:50You are a WrestleMania main eventer.
01:57But that's not the favor that I'm owed.
02:00One favor.
02:01I owe you a favor.
02:03No.
02:04Our wise man will owe me a favor.
02:07At WrestleMania, in my corner, you're a wise man.
02:18Tell him no.
02:22No, my Tribal Chief, I can't do that.
02:33The black and the fights.
02:37Go disappear.
02:39Lost and forever broken.
02:42Shattered like glass.
02:45The stars and the sex.
02:48The lies and the fables we tell.
02:59I brought you into this business I cannot wait to be the man that takes you both out of it
03:06there can be only one and it's got to be me wise man how could you betray me

05:45We want from All Black with a flamethrower to Angelica.
05:53As Las Vegas serenades Seth Freakin' Rawlings.
06:16The following contest is a Triple Threat Match.
06:23Introducing first, from Devonport, Iowa,
06:27weighing in our 225 pounds, Seth Freakin' Rawlings!
06:47The three horses of a generation will battle tonight.
06:51You guys remember what happened ten years ago?
06:56Up in California, the Bay Area, Seth Rollins cashing in,
07:02Money in the Bank, in the heist of the century at WrestleMania.
07:08An iconic call for an iconic performance.
07:12And Seth needs another one of those iconic moments this evening
07:18against two of the best this industry has ever seen.
07:32A 14th appearance at WrestleMania,
07:35the third time he's been in the main event.
07:46Come to WrestleMania for the wrestling, but stay for the karaoke.
07:51We've got a bit of everything here tonight in Vegas.
07:53A 14th
08:13Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
08:21Wait, please.
09:11Chiseled from stone, the O.T.C. has arrived in Sin City.
09:28For a record 10th time, Roman Reigns will main event Wrestlemania.
09:41Titan of this industry, marching to the ring with his signature celestial swagger, the epitome of ice cold, effortless cool.
09:58Roman Reigns with a record of 9-3 at Wrestlemania.
10:04Guys, there are only four men in history who have more wins than Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania.
10:10Their names, The Undertaker, John Cena, Edge, and the Game Triple H.
10:25Pressure? What pressure? It's only the main event of Wrestlemania.
10:30But this is a walk Roman Reigns has taken many times before.
10:37He has a locker at the main event of Wrestlemania.
10:43This is where he lives.
10:45Others just join him in different cities.
10:49And of course, the Samoan Dynasty, the Anawaii Family Dynasty, that is now headed by the original Tribal Chief.
10:58That man, a lot of questioning coming into this week, Pat, about who would carry the Ulafala to the ring.
11:03Paul Heyman would normally do that.
11:05Tonight, Roman Reigns comes to the ring with the Ulafala on his neck himself.
11:09And for the first time in many, many years, Roman Reigns heads into battle alone.
11:19The Ulafala symbolizes the head of a family.
11:27And when you talk about Roman Reigns' family,
11:31you're talking about one of the most successful and powerful families
11:37in the history of mankind.
11:47A lot of ones to the sky here in Las Vegas, Michael Cole.
11:54The Anawaii Family Dominance continued at Wrestlemania Saturday.
11:59Jey Uso, the new world champion.
12:02Jacob Fatu, the new United States champion.
12:06And now the head of the table, Roman Reigns.
12:14In a triple threat match for pride and glory.
12:22From Pensacola, Florida,
12:24weighed in for 265 pounds.
12:29The OTC
12:35Roman Reigns.
12:37Roman Reigns.
12:40The OTC
12:45The OTC
12:48Roman Reigns.
12:53The OTC
12:54For the past four or five years,
12:56I have never seen Roman Reigns in the shape that he is in tonight.
13:00I got a chance to chat with him a little bit on Friday.
13:03And we talked about his discipline and his training routine.
13:06He brought his entire fight camp out here to Las Vegas from South Florida.
13:11Focused completely on dominating this triple threat
13:14that everybody thinks is for the face of a generation.
13:16We're for the next king of the industry.
13:31Don't let these tattoos fool you.
13:34I'm a man of great discipline.
13:36I don't drink.
13:37I don't smoke.
13:38I don't do drugs.
13:40I don't do drugs.
13:41I'm straight edge.
13:43My addiction is wrestling.
13:46My addiction is wrestling.
13:54My name, my name is C.M.
13:58I'm a punk king.
14:00What about a young man who has walked in here and made a name for himself?
14:05I'm talking about punk.
14:08You cannot stop my legacy.
14:12You don't have the fighting side I have.
14:27I've won championships.
14:29I've made friends and I've made enemies.
14:33Tonight is my night.
14:36Tonight is my main event.
14:39This day is mine.
14:40It's clobbering time!
14:46It's clobbering time!
15:06Pressure is my playground.
15:08My fire has always been burning.
15:13My addiction is wrestling.
15:40All right.
18:13It has to be a surreal moment for CM Punk.
18:19Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins look thoroughly disgusted over the fact that Paul Heyman, with a smile on his face,
18:29kissed CM Punk on the forehead and walked down into the ring.
18:33But the second said he sank.
19:02It is CM Punk's first WrestleMania match in 12 years.
19:08Remember, he missed last year's WrestleMania with a torn triceps.
19:12And tonight he goes into triple threat action with Reigns and Rollins, two men that he cannot stand.
19:18Triple threat rules.
19:19First man to gain pinball or submission will win this matchup.
19:23There are no countouts.
19:24There are no disqualifications.
19:27Paul Heyman is here.
19:28Paul Heyman is here in Punk's corner.
19:55Paul Heyman is here in Punk's corner.
20:03They're serenading their tribal chief.
20:15Who's going to handle
20:17the Ula Fala?
20:31He will not trust the man
20:36who decided to allow Punk's favor
20:39to be a part of
20:41WrestleMania, being in Punk's corner. Remember,
20:43he owed Punk a favor after Punk
20:45helped Roman Reigns team out back in
20:46War Games Survivor Series.
20:49Look what you did, Paul!
20:52CM Punk
20:53is just laughing at the sight
20:55of the disgust in the eyes of
20:57Roman Reigns. And we are underway with this
20:58triple threat main event with three icons.
21:01Three surefire
21:02Hall of Famers. The official
21:04in this main event, Rod Zapata, who will
21:06have his hands full with these three
21:08men tonight.
21:12So much history
21:15between everyone in this matchup.
21:16You need hours to be able
21:18to sift through it all.
21:20The reason for the animosity and the hatred
21:23and the disdain.
21:24An entire generation here in front of our eyes.
21:29CM Punk, who burst
21:30just on the scene.
21:33Now he's
21:34utilizing his wise man or best friend.
21:36He's mocking Reigns and Rollins
21:38is also what he's doing here.
21:42CM Punk
21:43showing up at ECW, run by Paul
21:44Heyman when he was just a teenager.
21:46Wanting to break into the business.
21:48He would get to
21:49Ohio Valley Wrestling and
21:53become Heyman's best friend.
21:55And Rollins now said
21:56we're not working together.
21:58Enough issues
21:58between you and I
21:59and what we used to have
22:01inside the shield
22:01and now we're underway.
22:03Seth is trying to strike a deal there.
22:05It's way too late for that.
22:07Ten years of animosity.
22:09And CM Punk is quite happy
22:10to let these two duke it out.
22:13Punk now in from behind.
22:14Remember
22:15in many ways
22:16Seth Rollins
22:17the obsession by Reigns
22:19for Rollins
22:19last year
22:21cost Reigns the championship
22:22of the record Reigns.
22:25CM Punk has had a non-stop grin
22:27on his face
22:28as he walked out.
22:29Remember
22:29securing the main event
22:31of Wrestlemania
22:32was never the goal.
22:34Winning
22:34in the main event
22:36of Wrestlemania is.
22:37Punk fails to do that
22:39and he'll always look back
22:40on this night
22:41with regret.
22:42And Roman Reigns
22:43trying to shake out an issue
22:44with his hamstring
22:44early on in this matchup.
22:47Paul Heyman
22:47did tell CM Punk
22:49that he would indeed
22:51one day
22:52main event Wrestlemania.
22:54Paul Heyman said
22:55I will be with you
22:56when it happens
22:56and it has.
22:57And Punk now
22:58dropped up over the top rope.
23:01CM Punk forever
23:02a Wrestlemania main eventer
23:04because of what's happening
23:05right now.
23:07Will this night end
23:08with our Tribal Chief
23:09doing what he does
23:10so damn often?
23:12Seth Rollins in position
23:13for a Roman Reigns
23:15drive-by.
23:16Big left J
23:19to the face
23:20of Seth freaking Rollins.
23:24Clean Jordans
23:25on our Tribal Chiefs
23:26feet tonight.
23:27This is not about
23:28a championship.
23:29This is about pride
23:31and dignity
23:31and proving you're
23:33the best perhaps
23:34of a generation.
23:37It's about ego
23:38and animosity
23:40and the man who has
23:41walked on water
23:42in this industry
23:43for the past 10 years.
23:45Roman Reigns
23:46immediately
23:47taking control.
23:49Embarking at Heyman.
23:50We're talking about
23:51saving this industry
23:52in the last 10 years.
23:54Here's what you could have had,
23:55Heyman.
23:55You made your choice.
23:57And now Punk
23:58reversal drives Reigns
23:59into the ring post.
24:00Let's not forget guys
24:01as Seth Rollins now
24:02sets up for a suicide dive
24:04to Roman Reigns.
24:06All three men
24:07outside the ring.
24:08Again,
24:08no count outs.
24:09Do as much damage
24:10as you want
24:10outside the ring.
24:13CM Punk taking his time
24:15over here
24:15by the commentary table
24:16letting the two
24:17ex-SHIELD members
24:18beat the hell
24:19out of each other.
24:20And remember
24:20the reason that
24:21Rollins and Reigns
24:23are here
24:24at least
24:24when they first arrived
24:25on the scene
24:26was because of CM Punk.
24:28The Shield was built
24:29as a security force
24:30for CM Punk.
24:32Yeah, let's not make out
24:33like that is some
24:34accolade for CM Punk.
24:36They were brought in
24:36as security
24:37to protect CM Punk.
24:39It wasn't a selfless act
24:41by CM Punk
24:42and both Roman Reigns
24:43and Seth Rollins
24:44know that.
24:45But again,
24:45it just
24:46more attention
24:47to the history
24:48between these three men
24:49and now Punk and Rollins
24:50such personal hatred
24:51between these two.
24:52Rollins has never
24:53forgotten the fact
24:54that Punk left the company.
24:55Badmouthed the company
24:56for many, many years
24:56while Rollins stayed here
24:58and played the soldier.
24:59And when Punk came back
25:00to all the fanfare
25:00it pissed Rollins off.
25:02And Seth Rollins now
25:03taking out that animosity
25:04on Punk.
25:05I spoke to Rollins earlier
25:06he said the only time
25:08CM Punk
25:08has improved the culture
25:10in WWE
25:11is when he cleared off
25:13for 10 years.
25:15Punk now off the barricade
25:17and the fight now
25:17spills out
25:18into the crowd
25:19here in Las Vegas.
25:20Steel chair legal.
25:22Undoubtedly,
25:23CM Punk has found
25:24the fountain of youth
25:25what's physically better
25:27than he has done
25:28in 15 years.
25:30And his performances
25:31attest to that.
25:33Refreshed,
25:34ready to go.
25:36Still the best
25:36in the world
25:37in his eyes.
25:38And again,
25:38for the first time
25:39in any Wrestlemania
25:41Rollins used
25:42what is that?
25:43A run of garbage
25:44can off the face of Punk.
25:47Saw Mick Foley
25:48last night
25:48at the Hall of Fame.
25:50Jack referee
25:51Rod Zapata
25:52has his work
25:52cut out here
25:53trying to keep
25:54this one under control.
25:56There are no
25:56DQs in this scenario.
25:58The only job he has
25:59is count of 10
26:00or submission.
26:01Again,
26:02Rollins delivering
26:03the can
26:05the back of the neck
26:06of CM Punk.
26:09Completely unprotected
26:10there was CM Punk.
26:11There's a button
26:12back there for sure.
26:14Bouncing the youth
26:14ain't helping you now, Punk.
26:16Roman Reigns
26:16was taken out
26:17of the equation.
26:21Turned into
26:21a one-on-one match
26:22at least momentarily.
26:23Punk now kicked
26:24to the midsection.
26:25Paul Heyman
26:26near us at ringside
26:27looking on
26:27and now CM Punk
26:28with a suplex
26:29out of the garbage can
26:30onto the cement.
26:33Sharp, twisted steel
26:35from that garbage can
26:37gouging into
26:38the lower back
26:38of Seth Rollins
26:40that has historically
26:41been an issue.
26:42Keep an eye on that.
26:45Attacking Seth Rollins'
26:46back is a good play.
26:49CM Punk and Seth Rollins
26:51throwing big shots
26:52at each other
26:52amongst the WWE Universe.
26:54He's heated up
26:55between these three
26:56back of the
26:58This is part of the
26:59problem in a triple threat
27:00match.
27:01You get too diverted
27:02with one of your
27:03opponents
27:03getting to a
27:05hellful leather war
27:06and the third opponent
27:07out of sight right now
27:09is benefiting
27:10from this entire scenario.
27:11And now fighting
27:12back to the barricade.
27:13Way to your point.
27:14Roman Reigns
27:15wipes everybody out.
27:17Roman was lying
27:18in wait.
27:18Great strategy
27:19by the OTC.
27:21Full send
27:22from our Tribal Chief.
27:31Roman Reigns
27:32who
27:34Roman Reigns
27:35took out CM Punk,
27:36Seth Reek and Rollins
27:37and maybe the first
27:39four rows
27:4055-inch vertical.
27:43Yeah, he ran right
27:43ball by Paul Haim
27:45and the man who
27:45betrayed him
27:47when he decided
27:48to come out here
27:49with CM Punk tonight.
27:51Far be it from me
27:52to criticize Roman Reigns
27:53but I personally
27:54would have left
27:55Seth where he was.
27:57Isolate CM Punk,
27:58get him in the ring
27:59and try and win this thing.
28:00Well, they hate
28:00each other equally.
28:04Our Tribal Chief
28:06is starting to think
28:09maybe we do some
28:10damage with some
28:11furniture.
28:12Well, why not?
28:12The Spanish table's
28:13out here.
28:14Roman Reigns
28:15now going to clear
28:15things off.
28:19And the Roman Reigns
28:21going to do a lot
28:21of damage here tonight
28:22in our main event.
28:24The sour look
28:25on the face
28:25of Paul Haiman
28:26tells the story.
28:27The man he could
28:29have been backing,
28:30the man he's backed
28:31for years
28:31is in total control
28:33of this one.
28:34He's doing exactly
28:35what he's done
28:36for the better half
28:37of the last decade.
28:39Run this thing.
28:42Our Tribal Chief
28:44Roman Reigns
28:47didn't CM Punk
28:48out of the way.
28:50With some physical
28:51wrecks at ringside.
28:53And again,
28:54continuing the assault
28:55on Rollins.
28:56Paul Haiman
28:57may have been
28:57on the wrong horse
28:58in this one tonight.
28:59Roman Reigns
29:00is dominating
29:01both Punk
29:02and Rollins
29:03in this Triple Threat
29:04match.
29:04Yeah, Haiman
29:05does not make
29:05many mistakes,
29:06but this one looks
29:08right now at least
29:09like a major faux pas
29:11from the Wise Man.
29:12CM Punk
29:13fighting back.
29:14Yeah, Punk
29:14will never give up.
29:16Continues to say
29:17he is the best
29:18in the world
29:18as he sends Reigns
29:20back into the ring.
29:21Well, this is gonna
29:22have to be
29:22the best performance
29:23of his career
29:24if he's pulling out
29:25victory here.
29:26Nice marking
29:27Roman Reigns.
29:28Went with a running knee.
29:29Roman Reigns
29:29able to pick him
29:30out of the air.
29:30There's the power
29:31now of Reigns.
29:32Being able to get
29:32Punk up on his shoulders.
29:34Samoan dropped
29:35by Roman.
29:38Seth Rollins now
29:39off the top rope
29:40runs into a right hand.
29:43Roman Reigns
29:44just looking like
29:45a different class
29:46out there.
29:47He's got a 10-pack.
29:49Well, he's also
29:50he's absolutely shredded.
29:51Oh, he's being driven
29:52by anger as well.
29:54Got a point to prove
29:55this evening.
29:56Yeah, fueled by animosity
29:57and greatness.
29:59This man wants
30:00the top rung again.
30:01This man wants
30:03the business.
30:03Everything he did
30:04for Paul Heyman
30:05and Paul Heyman's career.
30:07Heyman running
30:07in the gravy train.
30:08Riding the gravy train
30:10of Roman Reigns
30:10and now to turn
30:11his back on him
30:12for Punk tonight.
30:13Went for the Superman punch.
30:14Punk now
30:14swinging neck breaker
30:16caught Reigns.
30:18I don't know
30:19if it's going to be
30:20enough to get a pin.
30:21Gonna have to keep fighting.
30:22Just about avoiding
30:23that Superman punch
30:24for CM Punk.
30:26And Rollins up
30:27over the top
30:27caught by Punk again.
30:28Punk in position
30:29for the GTS.
30:30Rollins not going
30:31to allow it to happen.
30:32Running knee now
30:33caught Reigns
30:34in the jaw.
30:37There's a heel kick
30:39to the face
30:40of Seth Rollins
30:41and now it's CM Punk
30:42who is starting
30:43to build momentum
30:44in the matchup.
30:45Amazing job
30:46by CM Punk
30:47of just adapting
30:48your offense
30:49on the fly.
30:50Take what your opponents
30:51are giving you.
30:53CM Punk in control
30:55in the main event
30:55of Wrestlemania.
30:57Gotta be those
30:57lightning reflexes
30:59for CM Punk.
31:00That's what's
31:00got him ahead now.
31:01Couple of running
31:02knees by Punk
31:03it again.
31:07And again
31:08to the other side.
31:09Punk now
31:10has gained control.
31:11Punk is spoiled
31:12for choice.
31:13You got two
31:13dead bodies
31:14in there.
31:16Wait a minute.
31:17Punk now.
31:18Oh!
31:19And a DDT
31:19and an inverted DDT
31:21delivered to Rollins
31:23and Reigns.
31:28Vintage Punk
31:29in the middle
31:30of the ring.
31:31Let's take
31:31another look.
31:32Cutter DDT
31:33from CM Punk
31:34on Roman Reigns
31:35and Seth
31:36freaking Rollins
31:37and then he takes
31:38it in for a moment.
31:39Yeah, and that's
31:39the mistake, Pat.
31:40Taking it in.
31:41Yeah, I get it.
31:42It's the main event
31:42of Wrestlemania.
31:43You've worked so hard
31:44to get here.
31:45A moment you thought
31:46you'd never have.
31:47Go for the damn pin!
31:49That was going to the sky.
31:51Looking over the shoulder
31:52of Heyman
31:53is Punk now
31:55from the top rope.
32:04Punk paying homage
32:05with a big elbow
32:06to Rollins!
32:08And still
32:10no pin for Punk.
32:12And to me
32:12this is emotion
32:13getting the best
32:14of CM Punk.
32:15Well, Heyman's
32:15supposed to be
32:16an advisor and a coach.
32:17Maybe he should tell Punk
32:18to go for the cover
32:19and end this thing.
32:20Maybe a wise man
32:20would say something wise
32:21at some point.
32:24Punk now
32:25hell-bent on beating
32:26the hell out of both
32:26of these men.
32:27Proving a point
32:28here tonight.
32:29Soaking it in
32:30is one thing.
32:31You have to be
32:32ice cold and clinical
32:33to win a match
32:35like this.
32:35And I fear
32:36Punk
32:37has let emotion
32:38take over.
32:39And Rollins now
32:40top rope.
32:41Uh-oh, look at
32:41where Reigns is.
32:43Roman Reigns
32:44could be in trouble
32:45here.
32:46Roman dragging
32:47himself back
32:48to his feet.
32:51Rollins trying
32:52to fight out
32:52of this.
32:53Punk's now
32:53on the top rope.
32:54Dangerous situation
32:55for everybody
32:57involved.
33:01Doomsday device
33:02connected momentarily
33:04perhaps unintentionally.
33:06Superman punch.
33:08Cover by Reigns
33:10for the win.
33:11Punk and two.
33:12A slight moment
33:14of teamwork
33:14between Paul Heyman's
33:16guys.
33:17And then a
33:17Superman punch
33:19almost ends it.
33:21Well, look at the
33:22instincts of Roman
33:23Reigns.
33:24First of all,
33:24we see this
33:25doomsday device.
33:26Roman Reigns not out
33:28there admiring
33:28handiwork,
33:29connecting with that
33:30Superman punch
33:31immediately in on the
33:32pin and came within
33:33a millisecond of
33:35victory.
33:35victory.
33:36It is electric in Las
33:37Vegas tonight.
33:38Sold out
33:3961,467.
33:42Watching three of the
33:43greatest in the game
33:44battle it out.
33:45Reigns,
33:46Punk,
33:46Rollins,
33:47triple threat action.
33:58Whip of the spear,
33:59ran into a knee.
34:01Punk now.
34:02Looking for a
34:03GTS to Reigns.
34:06Elbow by Roman
34:07to fight his way
34:08out of it.
34:09Perfect timing
34:09there from Punk,
34:10but it just stunned
34:11the tribal chief.
34:25CM Punk getting the
34:27better of our tribal
34:28team.
34:28And here comes
34:29Punk now.
34:30Punk now.
34:30Down goes Reigns
34:32for the win for Punk.
34:34Kick out at two.
34:36The high cover right
34:37on the shoulders of
34:38Roman Reigns.
34:39Oh, look at Punk
34:40looking for the
34:41anaconda device.
34:42Punk looking for the
34:43anaconda device.
34:44If Reigns taps,
34:45it's over.
34:46Ropes will not cause
34:47a break.
34:48Punk's got it locked
34:49in.
34:49Can Reigns hang on?
34:51Oh, will Reigns
34:51tap out?
34:53Squeezing the life
34:54out of the tribal
34:55chief.
34:56Surely fading,
34:58cutting off that
34:58oxygen to the brain.
35:00Referee taking a
35:01very close look.
35:02And by Hook
35:04or by Croc.
35:05Reigns trying to
35:06counter Rollins now.
35:07Drop splash.
35:08Breaks things up.
35:09Saving the match.
35:10Pin.
35:11Cover.
35:11Robins.
35:12Almost took out
35:13both men.
35:15Double frog splash
35:16from Seth freaking
35:18Rollins.
35:20Wow.
35:21Well, in the blink of
35:22an eye, they just went
35:23Punk thought he had
35:24victory.
35:25In to steal it
35:26was the architect
35:28Seth freaking
35:29Rollins.
35:30I think it's Seth's
35:31eyes.
35:31He was saving it.
35:32I think he thought it
35:33was over if he didn't
35:34do that.
35:35Well, then he got the cover.
35:44WWE fans serenaded
35:45Rollins.
35:47So wait, I was just
35:48going to ask you,
35:48both men down,
35:49if you're Rollins,
35:50what do you do?
35:50You clear one man out
35:52as quickly as you can,
35:53figure out who the weakest
35:54guy is, get him out of the ring,
35:56then focus all your efforts
35:58on the remaining man.
35:59And again,
36:00the personal animosity
36:01forces Rollins to go back
36:02to Punk and try to beat the
36:04hell out of CM Punk.
36:05Lifts Punk up.
36:08And a buckle bomb by Rollins.
36:11Such a devastating maneuver
36:12has taken out several
36:14superstars for long periods
36:16of time, and Punk hasn't
36:18moved since.
36:19And now Rollins lifting
36:21Roman Reigns up.
36:22Reigns is in trouble as well.
36:24Trying to hang on,
36:25and another buckle bomb
36:26by Seth.
36:32Is Seth freaking
36:33Rollins the one?
36:35That's walking out of here
36:37as the champion
36:38of a generation.
36:40There is so much talk
36:41about what Punk
36:45and what Roman Reigns
36:47have accomplished.
36:48Well, you cannot rest
36:49on this man, Seth Rollins.
36:52An unbelievably great
36:53WrestleMania performer
36:55over the years.
36:56A great champion.
36:58And a very concerned
37:00Paul Heyman in front of us
37:01at ringside.
37:02As Rollins now
37:04went for a pedigree.
37:05Punk looking for a GTS.
37:08Spear!
37:11Seth dodging
37:12out of the way.
37:14And now with Reigns hooked,
37:17went for the pedigree again.
37:18Back body drop.
37:19Rollins lands on his feet.
37:21Roman Reigns
37:21went for the spear.
37:22Pedigree, pedigree, pedigree,
37:25pedigree by Rollins.
37:26Pedigree.
37:27Looking for the stomp.
37:28Stomp the Rage.
37:29Rollins
37:30gets rid of
37:31CM Punk.
37:33Cover.
37:34Rollins for the win.
37:36Rage is still in it.
37:39Oh my God.
37:41Seth Rollins did literally
37:42everything he was supposed
37:44to do there.
37:47Watch this.
37:47Catches a spear,
37:48turns it to a pedigree.
37:51Followed it up
37:52with the killer blow.
37:54The stomp.
37:55You have to clear Punk out here.
37:57Here's the issue.
37:58Get Punk out of the ring
37:59so he can't break it up.
38:00That beat though
38:01was all it took
38:02for Roman Reigns
38:04to just,
38:04just kick out
38:06in the nick of time.
38:07Meanwhile,
38:08Paul Heyman's
38:08new gravy train,
38:10CM Punk,
38:11is lying here.
38:13Hasn't moved.
38:14Right in front of
38:14Heyman's face at ringside.
38:16While Rollins and Reigns
38:17remain in the ring.
38:18Heyman's been pouting a lot.
38:20There's nothing going
38:21the way he likes it.
38:23Oh God,
38:23this durability,
38:25the athleticism,
38:26the speed of thought
38:27of Seth Rollins.
38:29The thing that has taken him
38:30to the very pinnacle
38:31of this industry.
38:32It's coming up trumps
38:34at the right moment.
38:35The architect,
38:35the visionary.
38:36Rollins looking to go up top.
38:38Roman Reigns is in trouble.
38:39Rollins now making it
38:40back to the top rope.
38:42Battered.
38:43Late in this match.
38:45Took his time.
38:46Yes.
38:46Get up there.
38:47Seth Rollins going for broke.
38:49Nobody home.
38:49Rolls through.
38:50Punk catches him.
38:52CM Punk looking for
38:53go to sleep.
38:54Spear to Rollins.
39:00Punk.
39:01Go to sleep
39:03to Roman Reigns.
39:04For a win
39:05in the main event.
39:07Kick out by Roman.
39:08Roman.
39:13Planet Earth
39:14cannot believe
39:15their eyes.
39:17Paul Heyman
39:18is distraught
39:19at ringside.
39:21That
39:21was CM Punk's
39:23moment.
39:26The spear
39:26Punk dodging
39:28out of the way.
39:29Connecting.
39:30Taking
39:31Seth Rollins
39:32out of the equation.
39:33Followed up
39:34by the sweetest
39:35GTS
39:36you will ever see.
39:39But Roman Reigns
39:40as we know
39:41he's just
39:42a bit
39:42too special.
39:46CM Punk
39:47had his
39:48Wrestlemania
39:49moment.
39:50And somehow
39:51Roman Reigns
39:52kicks out.
39:54Now the fight
39:54continues
39:55on the outside.
39:57CM Punk
39:58like he had
39:59the plug
39:59pulled on him
40:00with that kick
40:01out from Roman Reigns.
40:02And Punk
40:02now center of the room
40:03with Reigns.
40:04CM Punk
40:04is rolling now.
40:06Heyman
40:06his demeanor
40:07has changed.
40:09Another go
40:10to sleep.
40:11Time
40:11to count
40:12some sheep.
40:16The big
40:17frame
40:17of a massive
40:18tribal chief
40:19and at this point

41:21It should

41:22and me.
41:23He's
41:23the outsider.
41:25We put
41:26him down

41:32You feel

41:55Reigns
41:56and Rollins
41:57work
41:57together?
41:58Well your
41:59question now

42:00Rollins even
42:01looking for
42:01victory or is
42:03he looking to
42:03punish CM Punk?

42:06Hey look at
42:06Reigns.
42:07You got to look
42:08at Roman Reigns.
42:08He is so torn
42:09here.
42:09He doesn't know
42:10what to do.
42:11Does he team
42:11with Rollins?
42:12Does he

42:43it.
42:47Powerball
42:48through the
42:49table.
42:52I didn't
42:53know this
42:54table could
42:54break.
42:55Punk is
42:55out.
42:56Reigns
42:57turns his
42:57attention now
42:58to Rollins.
42:59A defenseless
43:00Seth Rollins
43:02who got
43:02sucker punched.
43:04Look out.
43:05Look out.
43:06Peck get
43:06the hell out

43:07Reigns with
43:08mentions in
43:09his eyes.
43:10Rollins
43:10through the
43:11table.
43:12Our

43:12chief is
43:14cleaning
43:14out.
43:15Roman Reigns

43:27Reigns
43:27for the win!
43:30Rollins
43:30kicked out
43:31at two and a
43:31half.
43:33Devin, you
43:33gotta be
43:34kidding me.
43:35How?
43:36How cold?
43:41Take another
43:42look at this.
43:43Seth
43:43freaking
43:43Rollins
43:44who thought
43:45he pulled
43:45out an ace.
43:46It backfired.
43:49The table
43:50power slam.
43:52The spear
43:53that should
43:54have got it
43:54done.
43:55But this is the
43:56main event of
43:57Wrestlemania
43:58and if anyone
43:58can dig deeper
43:59the most
44:00it's Seth
44:01freaking
44:02Rollins
44:03and incredibly
44:05this match
44:06continues.
44:07We all
44:08thought it
44:08was over.
44:09We all
44:10thought our
44:10tribal chief
44:11had his
44:11one to the
44:12sky.
44:12But somehow
44:13Seth
44:14freaking

46:33ridiculous
46:34power from
46:35Rollins,
46:35but how
46:35the hell
46:36do you
46:36get out
46:36of that?
46:37Those
46:37legs are
46:38clasped
46:38around the
46:39midsection.
46:40Nice!
46:41Oh my
46:41goodness,

46:42suplex.
46:42Shoulders
46:43down now.

46:45Still

46:49Rollins.
46:51Roman Reigns
46:52with a
46:52berserk
46:53look
46:53in his
46:53eye.
46:54Oh,
46:55what a
46:56stomp
46:56by
46:56Punk!
46:59And now
47:00CM Punk
47:02with a
47:03goal
47:03of
47:03sleep
47:03to
47:04Rollins.
47:05Cover!
47:06The
47:07main event
47:08continues!
47:15These
47:16men
47:19are not
47:20mortals.
47:22You take
47:23your biggest
47:23shots
47:24and they
47:25simply
47:25bounce
47:26off.
47:27You turn
47:29to despair
47:29and that
47:30is the
47:31dark pit
47:32in the
47:32mind of
47:33CM Punk
47:33he now
47:34has to
47:34overcome.
47:35There is
47:36no surrender
47:37in any
47:38of these
47:38three great
47:39warriors.
47:40Paul Heyman
47:41on the
47:41outside looks
47:42completely
47:42lost.
47:43He looks
47:44like he's
47:44given up.
47:46CM Punk
47:46this is the
47:47main event
47:47of Wrestlemania.
47:48This is what
47:49you fought
47:49your entire
47:50life for.
47:51Where does
47:51he go
47:51after this?
47:52He's already
47:52burned every
47:53bridge he
47:53has.
47:55Heyman
47:56has seen
47:56maybe his
47:56career flashed
47:57before his
47:58eyes as
47:59Punk
47:59continues
48:00the attack
48:00on Rollins.
48:04Roman
48:04down,
48:05Rollins
48:06down,
48:06CM Punk
48:07to his
48:07feet.
48:07Broken
48:08bodies
48:08everywhere
48:09you look.
48:10Who
48:10can summon
48:11something
48:12special
48:13to grab
48:14victory.
48:15Think about
48:15the physical
48:18exertion that
48:19these men
48:19have gone
48:19through in
48:20this matchup.
48:22Punk
48:22now trying
48:22to lift
48:23Rollins
48:23up,
48:23trying to
48:24perhaps get
48:24him in
48:24position to
48:25go to
48:25sleep.
48:26Seth
48:26Rollins
48:27not going
48:27to allow
48:27it to
48:27happen.
48:28Punk
48:28now going
48:29back to
48:29Rollins
48:30for the
48:30go to
48:30sleep.
48:30Could
48:31have
48:31been a
48:31smart
48:31move
48:31there
48:31by
48:32Punk.
48:32Can
48:32he hit
48:32the
48:32GTS
48:33that he
48:33does
48:33to
48:34Rollins?
48:34Speared
48:34out by
48:35Reigns!
48:36Stomped
48:37by Seth!
48:38Everybody
48:38is down!
48:42This is
48:43absolutely
48:43incredible!
48:50Well,
48:51CM Punk
48:52once again
48:52going to
48:53the well
48:54but without
48:55a missed
48:56beat.

49:18What are

49:19What the
49:19hell are

49:21The

50:21Roman

50:53You

50:54a
50:55rut.
51:01All of
51:02Roman Reigns
51:02Christmases just
51:04came at once.
51:16And now
51:17Reigns
51:18are loading
51:19on
51:19Punk
51:19with a
51:20steel chair.
51:21Paul Heyman
51:22has returned
51:23to the
51:23original
51:23tribal
51:24chief.
51:24It had

51:43Thank God.
51:44My tribal
51:44chief.
51:48That night
51:50in Indianapolis.
51:53After a
51:55decade
51:55payback
51:57is finally
51:58coming
51:59to Roman
52:00Reigns.
52:02Oh my
52:03God.
52:05Paul Heyman
52:06you son
52:06of a
52:12you piece
52:13of
52:14garbage.
52:25Paul Heyman
52:28what the hell
52:29did we just
52:30witness?
52:31Low blows
52:31his best
52:32friend in
52:33his drive
52:33on the
52:34eight.
52:35Rewind a
52:36couple of
52:36weeks.
52:37Seth
52:37Rollins
52:37said
52:38you owe
52:38me the
52:39favor now.
52:40This is
52:40absolute
52:41insanity.
52:42The devil's
52:43work is
52:44afoot.
52:48This is
52:49disgusting.
52:49$s
52:51$%
52:52$%
52:53$ch
52:55$%
52:56$%
52:57$%
53:01$$%
53:19And now, again, to the back of Reigns, a stop by Seth.
53:27Rollins into the cover.
53:38Here is your winner, Seth Riken Rollins.
53:47Benedict Heyman, not once, but twice.
53:54An alliance we never thought we'd see.
53:59Seth Rollins and that money-sucking leech, Paul Heyman.
54:08Political maneuvering and subterfuge has always dictated the very top level of this industry.
54:18And Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman just bluffed and deceived their way to victory in Vegas.
54:27You know, how many years ago was it, Wade, when that man in the ring sold his soul to the
54:34authority to get ahead in this business?
54:36And now, a decade later, he sells his soul again to Paul Heyman to get ahead in this business.
54:43An ending to this match nobody saw coming.
54:49CM Punk and his career-long best friend who's recently reacquired.
54:57Wise man handing the steel chair to the man who has fought so hard for this moment to be present
55:06in the main event of WrestleMania, only to be low-blown.
55:10In this entire situation, Seth Rollins is the one man that I felt sorry for, that I thought was getting
55:19shafted, that I thought didn't have a play in the game.
55:23It's a shafting.
55:25It's a shafting.
55:26This is the top level at WWE.
55:29It's the main event of WrestleMania.
55:31If you're not shafting your opponents, they're shafting you.
55:36It's about who does it best.
55:38And Seth freaking Rollins has just mastered this art.
55:43Hang it in the Louvre.
55:46There's been many shield chairs to the back over the years,
55:49but perhaps none as important and as devastating as the one we witnessed tonight.
55:56Paul Heyman always seems to survive.
55:59Paul Heyman is the cockroach who always finds himself at the top of the food chain,
56:05who you cannot kill, who continues to be with the best in the business.
56:09And now Paul Heyman has aligned himself with Seth freakin' Rollins.
56:17And I'm sick.
56:31So many questions.
56:34How long has this been to play?
56:38It could have been weeks or months or years.
56:42With Paul Heyman, yeah, years potentially.
56:44We thought we knew Punk's situation, right?
56:46He did this to get under Rain Skin.
56:50I mean, Roman's the one I feel bad in all this for.
56:54Tribal Chief has been stabbed in the back more times than he can imagine.
56:59Low blows.
57:01And guys, guess what?
57:03This is only night one.
57:06WrestleMania Saturday.
57:09WrestleMania post show's next.
57:10We'll see you tomorrow.
