00:01Please allow us to introduce the challenger, Finn Balor!
00:16Well, there he is, ladies and gentlemen, the first ever Universal Champion Finn Balor
00:22popped with an opportunity to once again win the gold.
00:26And you've got to give Finn credit for the way he stood up the range last week.
00:29But wait one second.
00:37That's majestic to be a part of every damn time.
00:41But the Prince Finn Balor has come back.
00:44He kicked Sami Zayn's ass, then walked right up to the head of the table and said,
00:49Hey, I'm back. I've been a champ everywhere, including here and the one on your shoulder.
00:56Let's go.
00:57And Roman said, let's do it.
00:59The Prince Finn Balor is a legend.
01:03With 35 acts.
01:14Finn Balor with an opportunity of a lifetime.
01:18Three weeks from tomorrow night.
01:21Summer Slam.
01:24What a moment.
01:25What an opportunity.
01:27What a time to be Finn Balor.
01:34This is my mother's favorite superstar.
01:40Just want to let everybody know that.
01:41So I'm a victory.
01:44And his opponent.
01:46The Universal Champion.
01:48Roman Reigns.
01:50For,
01:51To.
01:51To.
01:56To.
01:57To.
02:01To.
02:05To.
02:10To.
02:36On his time!
02:38The Universal Champion Roman Reigns flanked by his special counsel Paul Heyman.
02:46The man whom John Cena earlier tonight called a quote, scared little kid.
03:03I hate to disagree with Cena, but that's a grown-ass name.
03:18John Cena said earlier that Roman Reigns didn't reject this challenge because of how John Cena looks.
03:24He said that Roman Reigns is afraid to fight John Cena because of how Cena will make Roman Reigns look.
03:34Obviously, we don't have to worry about that anymore because Roman Reigns now has his sights set on that man.
03:39Finn Balor with the Universal title at SummerSlam.
03:42I love Finn Balor. Everybody loves Finn Balor.
03:47But the man walking to the ring right now with Paul Heyman in tow, which this entire electric target center
03:56audience is on their feet for,
03:58He's at another level than everybody else walking planet Earth.
04:06He has been since he showed up here.
04:12The head of the table, the face of the greatest show in sports entertainment.
04:23Absolute look of disdain.
04:27He's above it all from Roman Reigns.
04:29Roman Reigns the man WIN
04:36Roman laughing at...
04:39...two Cena impersonators.
04:42One still the champ.
04:44With the spinny WWE thingy.
04:49He could see you. We can all see you.
04:52And I assume a lot of people wish they couldn't because when Roman Reigns is in front of you,
05:00you can't help
05:03but acknowledge great
05:29almost a full year since Roman Reigns has held the Universal Championship
05:36this is like a speed walking race
05:39there's no end in sight for the reign of Roman Reigns
06:04excuse me
06:10you see what's happening here
06:21head of the table, Guttekunst
06:23is what Roman Reigns just said to Mr. Pearce
06:35I can't believe we're getting a chance to see what it looks like behind closed doors at the table
06:40with Roman Reigns at the head of it
06:44gentlemen, you both had the opportunity to review this contract
06:47if you please take one more look-see
06:50and if everything looks good on both of your parts
06:52feel free to sign on the proverbial dotted line
07:08Cena!
07:09Cena!
07:10Cena!
07:12Cena!
07:13Cena!
07:15Cena!
07:15Cena!
07:16Cena!
07:19Cena's not in the ring
07:23We've already seen Mr. Missionary tonight.
07:31As a matter of fact, Finn,
07:34did you catch his opening promo?
07:38You know what he said, right?
07:41John said that by accepting your challenge,
07:45I'm ducking him.
07:48I'm ducking him.
07:50So that means he thinks you're lesser than him.
07:55You're a lesser man than him.
07:56That's what he thinks.
07:57That's what he said.
08:02I'd boo too.
08:03It's a jerk thing to say.
08:07But I don't think this.
08:10I think you're worthy.
08:12I think you're worthy to challenge
08:16for the universal championship.
08:18And I also think you're worthy
08:21to catch this beat down at SummerSlam.
08:28But just for the record,
08:30just for the record,
08:32I don't think anything like John.
08:34You don't come out here with that same tired old shtick
08:37that's not working anymore,
08:39so you got to reference other superstars
08:42and run their catchphrase.
08:43No, that's not you.
08:44No.
08:45You're hungry.
08:47You want it.
08:48And I dig that about you.
08:51So,
08:54I have to say this.
08:58If you sign this contract,
09:02I'm going to smash you
09:04and send you right back to NXT.
09:21Tuesday nights,
09:228 p.m.
09:31He does it.
09:50That paper's worth a lot of money now.
09:53You think pretty highly of yourself,
09:56don't you, Roman?
09:57And perhaps justifiably so.
10:02But it will be my privilege
10:05to return to NXT
10:08once again
10:10universal champion.
10:17Oh, wait a minute.
10:19Barrett Corbin.
10:20Barrett Corbin attacking Ballard.
10:23He was tossed it.
10:24The contract out of the ring and out.
10:25Ballard out of the ring as well.
10:27Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
10:29Barrett Corbin hammering away on Finn Ballard.
10:32Where did Barrett Corbin come from?
10:34Ballard's over.
10:34Oh, my God.
10:37Now, Corbin's got the contract.
10:40Oh, my God.
10:50He said desperate men do desperate things.
10:53And there's John Cena.
10:54John Cena.
10:56Cena going after Corbin.
10:58Corbin sending him a ring post.
11:03Baron Corbin was going to steal the contract.
11:06Was.
11:06Was.
11:07Was.
11:09Cena's got the contract now.
11:11Oh, no way.
11:18That's a big sharpie.
11:25Roman Reigns is already signed.
11:27And John Cena's now signing the deal.
11:32That signature is awesome.
11:35What does this.
11:36Does this mean.
11:38I don't know what it means.
11:39Is this even legal?
11:41Can I walk into somebody else's contract negotiation and say, nah.
11:46That's mine now.
11:47Baron Corbin trying it.
11:49Then Cena did it.
11:52And Roman's sitting there.
11:54I mean, I asked before.
11:55But is this even legal?
11:57Huh?
11:58Uh huh.
11:58I said.
11:59I was.
11:59I was.
