00:00:00For the second straight year, WrestleMania returns to Las Vegas.
00:00:04This is the home of the NFL Raiders.
00:00:07We are at Allegiant Stadium, now hosting the greatest spectacle in all of live entertainment.
00:00:17And you are looking live inside Allegiant Stadium.
00:00:21Over 50,000 WWE fans are expected tonight to witness history
00:00:27as Randy Orton hopes to creep closer to immortality in a 15th World Championship.
00:00:34However, the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes, the undisputed WWE Champion,
00:00:40hopes to capitalize on over 20 years of history with Orton
00:00:43and knock off the Viper to retain his title.
00:00:48The stage is set. The stars are out.
00:00:52The WWE Universe is loud and proud.
00:00:56Let me be the first to say, welcome to WrestleMania Saturday.
00:01:07It's something you can't really explain.
00:01:13That feeling when the lights come on.
00:01:16The crowd roars and you realize there's no bigger stage than this.
00:01:25The grandest stage of them all.
00:01:29The showcase of the immortals.
00:01:31The game has started!
00:01:33I will give you a show like you have never seen before.
00:01:37The Austin era has begun!
00:01:40No brighter lights.
00:01:42No higher stakes.
00:01:44No louder crowd.
00:01:46And no second takes.
00:01:50It happens once.
00:01:52The eyes of the world are on this tonight.
00:01:54And it's forever.
00:01:55Ultimania will live for never!
00:01:58Because memories are made in this ring.
00:02:00And we, you and me, the fans,
00:02:05we get to be there.
00:02:06For the moments we'll never forget.
00:02:11What a spectacle we got here, Gino.
00:02:14Unbelievable.
00:02:15The greatest thing I've ever seen.
00:02:17We were there when the irresistible force met the immovable object.
00:02:21We were there when it seemed impossible until it happened.
00:02:25The streak is over!
00:02:28When legends took their final battle.
00:02:30It's over.
00:02:31Goodbye.
00:02:32When Seth shocked the world.
00:02:34Rollins with a heist of the century!
00:02:37When Cody finished his story and made his dad proud.
00:02:45And years from now, decades from now,
00:02:49our kids will tell their kids that we were alive and we were there.
00:02:54When punk fought Roman for the title.
00:02:57The tribal chief and the best in the world in the main event!
00:03:04Cuando la primera se enfrentó a la guerrita.
00:03:08On the grandest stage of them all.
00:03:12When the voice tried to squash the nightmare.
00:03:16They talk to me and they tell me that I am going to beat Cody Rhodes.
00:03:22When Jade and Rhea stood face to face.
00:03:25Welcome to the big league!
00:03:28When Oba stepped onto this stage.
00:03:30The biggest stage of them all.
00:03:31For the very first time.
00:03:42There's no way to know exactly what drama lies ahead.
00:03:45You stole everything from me!
00:03:48But we know we're here for the pops and the surprises.
00:03:51There is nobody who can stop me!
00:03:56The memories that will last a lifetime.
00:03:58I love that title! I made that title!
00:04:02We are here.
00:04:04What a collision awaits!
00:04:08We are alive.
00:04:11No second takes.
00:04:13The greatest live event in entertainment!
00:04:17Lights up!
00:04:18The curtain's about to rise.
00:04:21Welcome to Wrestlemania!
00:04:31And now, Snickers and WWE 2K26 present Wrestlemania!
00:05:05I know, right? I know!
00:05:08I know!
00:05:08I know!
00:05:09I know!
00:05:09I know!
00:05:10They are not going to run!
00:05:12I know!
00:05:17I know!
00:05:18That was fun!
00:05:20I know!
00:05:23I know!
00:05:25I know!
00:05:27I know!
00:05:32Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your host of WrestleMania, John Cena.
00:05:57Next, you're a sweater empty. Let him hate, I'll drop your whole plan.
00:06:01Lay your ass down, we're gonna do it.
00:06:06You can't see me, my time is now.
00:06:09It's the franchise, we'll shine it down now.
00:06:12You can't see me, my time is now.
00:06:15It's gonna be what it's gonna be.
00:06:17Five thousand coverage by the base, ten hands with a gold team.
00:06:21It's the war dance, the victory step.
00:06:23Of all stances, we get the unit.
00:06:50Wow, I didn't expect that. Thank you so much.
00:07:00Sorry, uh, long-time fan, long-time performer, first-time host.
00:07:04How am I doing so far?
00:07:10It's undeniable that this year's road to WrestleMania has been chaos.
00:07:18It has been unpredictable.
00:07:21And from every side, both in here, hell, even back there and out here, it has been very, very vocal.
00:07:32One could say it's, Michael Cole, is it polarizing?
00:07:38Very.
00:07:39Polarizing.
00:07:40Now I see why I got the hosting gig.
00:07:44This is the moment I love the most, especially on the road to WrestleMania.
00:07:51We're all in here for the same reason, because we know the time to talk is up.
00:08:01The time to deliver is now.
00:08:08And we are all here with one thing on our minds.
00:08:12Who tonight will step up and deliver?
00:08:20It is such a great honor, ladies and gentlemen, and everyone watching around the world.
00:08:30Welcome to WrestleMania.
00:08:43Let's go, Wade.
00:08:57Let's go, Wade.
00:09:01Let's go, Wade.
00:09:33What a scene at Allegiant Stadium.
00:09:37Well, good luck spotting them in this massive audience.
00:09:51Nine-time tag team champions.
00:09:55Over 1,700 days at the Champs.
00:10:01And tonight, again, heading in to WrestleMania.
00:10:11We've got our rhythm in early, Cody.
00:10:13Hello, everybody.
00:10:13I'm Michael Cole.
00:10:14He's Wade Barrett.
00:10:15We are ready for WrestleMania.
00:10:17Yes, we are.
00:10:18The whole world is ready.
00:10:19But don't let it go without saying, Michael Cole, this is your 25th time calling the greatest spectacle in our
00:10:27industry from this desk.
00:10:29It's 25th, not out, quarter of a century, Michael Cole.
00:10:32What an honor to be alongside you.
00:10:34It's an honor to be alongside you, but I wouldn't be here today, obviously, if it wasn't for these gentlemen
00:10:38in the ring.
00:10:38Guys like the Usos, guys like Logan Paul and L.A. Knight, Roman Reigns and CM Punk and Randy Orton
00:10:45and Cody Rhodes and everyone who are going to be a part of WrestleMania this year.
00:10:51You're looking at the Usos who last performed as a team at WrestleMania 39.
00:10:58They once had a record 622 days as tag team champions.
00:11:05The absolute greatest tag team in history.
00:11:30And the tag team partner from Los Angeles, California.
00:11:42L.A. Knight, I talked to him earlier today, Wade.
00:11:48He is licking his chops to get into the ring against the Vision tonight.
00:11:53The group that, well, sent him through a car with a tsunami back at the end of December.
00:11:59He was eliminated, L.A. Knight was, by Logan Paul back at the Elimination Chamber match.
00:12:04So much history between L.A. Knight and the Vision.
00:12:08Yeah, so much hatred, so much animosity.
00:12:11And if you're going to get even on any form of rivalry, especially one that runs as deep as L
00:12:17.A. Knight and the Vision, you do it right here at WrestleMania.
00:12:21And, Wade, how fired up was Jey Uso this week?
00:12:23He got to fight with podcaster Killikamp after being disrespected by him on his podcast.
00:12:28That's the emotions running high during WrestleMania week.
00:12:34Kind of similar to L.A. Knight attacking a certain eye-show speed on his live stream a couple of
00:12:41weeks ago.
00:12:41This thing has crossed into all kinds of media.
00:12:50And this match tonight is presented by Ram.
00:12:54Nothing stops Ram.
00:13:14Very emotional, very personal matchup to kick off WrestleMania tonight.
00:13:19We are so glad you could join us here live on ESPN2 in the States.
00:13:46And the Raccoonets.
00:13:48The team of I Show Speed and the World Tag Team Champions, Austin Perry and Logan Paul, the Vision.
00:14:02Well, at first, I Show Speed didn't even want to be involved in this situation.
00:14:06Invertently got involved causing the Usos to tag titles, knocked out LA Knight, but he sort of fought it.
00:14:11We saw him training with the Vision over the past couple of weeks, but let's talk about experience.
00:14:17Now, I Show Speed, great athlete, we know that.
00:14:21However, he only has one match in WWE.
00:14:24That was last year's Royal Rumble match.
00:14:26He lasted 56 seconds back at WrestleMania 40.
00:14:30He's dressed in that time bottle.
00:14:32He got RKO'd by Orton, so not a great track record.
00:14:35No, and it's been an absolute disaster for I Show Speed anytime he's got anywhere near a WWE ring.
00:14:42I mean, who could forget him getting broken in half in that particular Royal Rumble that you mentioned?
00:14:46But you're right, he's in way over his head tonight.
00:14:49And he needs to lean on the experience of his tag partners here in the Vision, Austin Theory,
00:14:55and of course, the now five-time WrestleMania competing Logan Paul.
00:15:01Like it or not, he is a veteran at this.
00:15:03I Show Speed just like he's Superman.
00:15:07But to your point, Logan Paul beat AJ Styles last year.
00:15:11He has three wins at WrestleMania.
00:15:15Sometimes the spotlight just brings out the best in certain performers.
00:15:19Like Austin Theory.
00:15:21Remember what he did a few years back at WrestleMania when he beat John Cena.
00:15:26He also had a ladder match for the tag titles where he won at WrestleMania 40.
00:15:32Theory's got some experience as well.
00:15:34Yes, indeed.
00:15:35And this is a very different version of Austin Theory.
00:15:38One who was far more laser-focused put the nonsense to one side.
00:15:41Thanks, of course, to Paul Heyman and the Vision.
00:15:45Of course, the Vision, Paul and Theory knocked off the Usos back at the end of March
00:15:50to win the World Tag Team titles thanks to I Show Speed.
00:15:58And the Usos with a double superkick wipes out the Vision,
00:16:02and that leads I Show Speed to start things off with LA Night.
00:16:07There's some beef here.
00:16:08Oh, well, the game plan was in right from the start here.
00:16:12This is the man they really want right off the bat,
00:16:15the man who's caused them so many problems over the past several weeks.
00:16:18Nowhere to hide now, Speed.
00:16:19Let's see what you're going.
00:16:21And I Show Speed with a side headlock to control LA Night in the early going.
00:16:25At least far momentarily.
00:16:26I'll tell you right now, that is day one wrestling school stuff.
00:16:30If this gets any deeper, he may struggle.
00:16:33However, we're starting to see that athleticism.
00:16:36He's really made an effort to I Show Speed,
00:16:39and it could be game over from here.
00:16:40Well, he was showing off a bit, and LA Night made him pay.
00:16:43Again, you see the athleticism when it comes to I Show Speed.
00:16:46No doubt about that.
00:16:48Oh, wow!
00:16:49It's a huge benefit in that ring as Logan Paul now gets clocked to the outside, but...
00:16:54Keep your eye on Speed!
00:16:57Oh, and a power slam by Speed.
00:16:59Speed's showing he's been paying attention, whatever he's been learning,
00:17:02but don't take your eye off the megastar.
00:17:05Yeah, you can't prematurely celebrate when it comes to WWE.
00:17:11No match was ever won off a Body Slam, I Show Speed,
00:17:15and certainly not against someone the caliber of an LA Knight.
00:17:18LA Knight bringing Logan Paul now into the ring as I Show Speed retreated.
00:17:23And bouncing Paul off the top turnbuckle.
00:17:26Again, LA Knight with quite the history of the division over the past year.
00:17:34The official in this matchup, Ryan Tran, warning LA Knight as he stomps away at Logan Paul in the corner.
00:17:42And that's part of the issue here at WrestleMania.
00:17:44Adrenaline is running high for everyone, not least, of course, the competitors in the ring.
00:17:48And you have to pay attention to the rules.
00:17:51And again, main event Jey Uso, who last year at WrestleMania shocked the world
00:17:56when he won the World Heavyweight Championship with a win over the Ring General Gunter,
00:18:00who we'll see later on tonight, and that's with Seth Rollins.
00:18:03Double team by the Usos.
00:18:06As fluid as water.
00:18:08So much instant chemistry with the Usos.
00:18:11Cover by Jimmy, hooks the leg, and Logan kicks out at two.
00:18:14Together since the womb, that is why they are unsurpassed in the tag ranks here at WWE.
00:18:20Four wins at WrestleMania as a tag team.
00:18:26Of course, the Usos, second generation stars, their father Rikishi,
00:18:32appeared at WrestleMania one year.
00:18:34There was a tag there, and...
00:18:35Oh, Theory!
00:18:36Jimmy Uso did not see the tag at all behind his back.
00:18:41And now Austin Theory.
00:18:44Attitude and awe.
00:18:46Smart move that was from Austin Theory.
00:18:48Laying in wait, dropping the hammer at exactly the right time.
00:18:55Tag made, here comes Logan Paul.
00:18:58Did you say something about a match that's never been won by a power slam?
00:19:02Body slam.
00:19:03Body slam.
00:19:04Did you forget Hogan and Andre at WrestleMania 3?
00:19:06Followed up by a leg drop.
00:19:08Come on, Michael Carlton.
00:19:09I've got a great memory for this.
00:19:10You ain't beating me right at the start.
00:19:12Later on in the show when I'm tired, maybe.
00:19:14And now The Vision celebrating Logan and Theory.
00:19:18I'll tell you, Theory has become a changed man since joining The Vision under the tutelage of Paul Heyman.
00:19:24He calls himself The Pressure.
00:19:26He says he used to let the pressure get to him.
00:19:29Now he feeds off the pressure.
00:19:31Show yourself!
00:19:32Show yourself right now!
00:19:34Logan Paul loves it.
00:19:35And if I show Speed he's going to get anywhere in this game, using Logan Paul's career as the blueprint
00:19:41would be a pretty smart thing to do.
00:19:43All the way up!
00:19:44I'm over the head!
00:19:45Like that!
00:19:46Yeah, yeah!
00:19:46Right!
00:19:47Here you go!
00:19:47Oh!
00:19:48Beat too long thinking it over there.
00:19:50And that was smart in a sense from Speed.
00:19:52Listen to the veterans.
00:19:53Just pull it off a touch quicker.
00:19:55But again, when you don't have a lot of matches, you're going to think, right?
00:19:59You're not just going through it.
00:20:00Yeah, nothing is automatically for I show Speed.
00:20:03And it really has shown from the off in this one.
00:20:05He knows how to do the moves, but pulling them off crisply against the best is a very different equation.
00:20:12And now Logan Paul, who has proved himself to be among the best in WWE.
00:20:17Social media superstar turned World Tag Team Champion.
00:20:21Full-time WWE superstar now.
00:20:24Body shots delivered to Jimmy.
00:20:26Yeah, let's face it.
00:20:26He's one hell of a boxer too.
00:20:28One of the biggest right hands in the game here in WWE.
00:20:33And Jimmy Uso has been knocked for six in the corner.
00:20:36And not to forget that right hand has got a titanium plate in it.
00:20:40And now Jimmy Uso.
00:20:42Oh!
00:20:42Corkscrew Moonsault off the top rope.
00:20:45Takes out Paul.
00:20:46Both men down.
00:20:49And here is a pivotal moment for both teams.
00:20:53Who can make the tag first?
00:20:55Who can get a fresh man into this?
00:20:58Jey Uso trying to rally his brother Jimmy to the corner to make a tag.
00:21:03Huge turning point in the match.
00:21:05This could be where it's won or lost.
00:21:07Or both men make the tag.
00:21:09And now Jey Uso and Austin Theory.
00:21:12These two have been at each other for many months now.
00:21:18And now...
00:21:19Oh!
00:21:20Got caught!
00:21:22Showboat an event, but Jey lands on his feet.
00:21:24Off the ropes.
00:21:25Spear!
00:21:27Cover!
00:21:28Oh, and Austin just rolled out of the way.
00:21:30And that...
00:21:31Oh, and Logan Paul's able to break things up.
00:21:34But Theory just moving out of the way momentarily.
00:21:36May have cost Jey the match.
00:21:38Nice gut-wrench suplex by Paul.
00:21:40Show your great instincts there from Logan Paul.
00:21:43People might not like him, but he is so good inside that ring.
00:21:46And only getting better.
00:21:47And this one's breaking down in a big way now.
00:21:50Yeah, Theory with a big left hand.
00:21:53And Jey Uso back into the ring and sent shoulder.
00:21:56First into the post.
00:21:58That could be the end of Jey Uso right there.
00:22:00That's a separate shoulder.
00:22:05Super kick!
00:22:08Iso Speed trying to get out of harm's way.
00:22:10Not gonna happen.
00:22:12But maybe it is!
00:22:16Nice head scissors there from Iso Speed, but again celebrating too hard!
00:22:22Went for the BFT!
00:22:24Speed just sent Knight into Paul!
00:22:27Smart reversal there from Speed.
00:22:29Saved himself and the match received, but wait up.
00:22:32Pushed him into it!
00:22:33Get up!
00:22:35Get up!
00:22:36Get up!
00:22:36Get up!
00:22:38I don't think Speed did that on purpose, Wade.
00:22:40He certainly did not.
00:22:41However, that's not how Austin Theory saw it.
00:22:43Threw you into that computer!
00:22:45Hit the rope!
00:22:46Come on!
00:22:47Wow!
00:22:47Hit the rope!
00:22:49Hit it!
00:22:50Come on!
00:22:51Come on!
00:22:51No!
00:22:52Paul Theory!
00:22:54Into Speed!
00:22:55BFT!
00:22:58Cover by Knight!
00:23:00And then the Uso's win!
00:23:04Here are your winners!
00:23:07The team of the Uso's!
00:23:11It's L.P. Knight!
00:23:14Yeah!
00:23:16Well, I'll tell you right now, that has not sat well with the Vision.
00:23:20A major victory after that BFT.
00:23:23But things went to hell in a handbasket, because iShowSpeed simply didn't execute the plan correctly.
00:23:33Well, he was being bullied by the Vision.
00:23:35You cost me my mania!
00:23:37You have one job!
00:23:40Well, there's that titanium plate in the right hand I was talking about.
00:23:46I like how Robbie throws us across his speed to the curve.
00:23:50One job!
00:23:51My mania!
00:23:52Austin's mania!
00:23:54And you, good!
00:23:56Good!
00:23:58I mean, iShowSpeed does not deserve to be treated like this.
00:24:03I mean, he was willing to tag up with, with Paul and Austin Theory of the Vision for this match
00:24:08tonight.
00:24:09Now, Logan Paul, I think, is gonna make Speed pay some more.
00:24:12You know as well as I do, winning and losing at this level, there are consequences.
00:24:17Professional wrestling, you moron!
00:24:20And iShowSpeed has to learn that the halfway.
00:24:23This is just a mugging now, a vicious assault.
00:24:28And he said that right.
00:24:30Logan Paul calling Speed a moron.
00:24:32Logan Paul's got those crazed eyes.
00:24:35He came here tonight to win.
00:24:36He does not accept losses.
00:24:38Not in front of the eyes of the world.
00:24:41And iShowSpeed.
00:24:42Well, wait, I think, I think Paul's gonna go up top looking for Paul from Grayson.
00:24:46Meanwhile, Jey Uso sends Paul into the ropes.
00:24:511-D!

00:30:04Introducing Chris from Sacramento, California,
00:30:09weighed in for 291 pounds, the Samoan Werewolf, Jacob Bantoul.
00:30:22Oh, Wade batten down the hatches.
00:30:26Oh, this is gonna be wild. So much hatred, so much malignant content
00:30:32has been built up between these two superstars.
00:30:36The only way to get this done is in unsanctioned fashion.
00:30:40The company said, do whatever you want to each other.
00:30:43We can't control you. We will not be held liable.
00:30:48Have at it in front of the eyes of the world.
00:30:50Drew McIntyre has gone back in time to revisit the history of Jacob Bantoul
00:30:56and the time that he spent behind bars in prison.
00:30:59Jacob Bantoul has talked about how he's changed.
00:31:01It's about his family now. It's about his wife and his kids.
00:31:04He is a werewolf, ready to win titles at WWE.
00:31:08But he said last night, Wade, if Drew McIntyre wants the old Jacob Bantoul
00:31:14back for one night, he's gonna get him.
00:31:21And this match tonight is brought to you by Chumba Casino.
00:31:24Step into the ring, play hundreds of free casino-style games
00:31:29and smash boredom. Let's Chumba.
00:31:36All gas, no brakes. You have to think that an unsanctioned match was made for Jacob Bantoul.
00:31:46Well there's certainly a lot of loathing, but there must be some fear too
00:31:51right here in Las Vegas for both of these competitors
00:31:55knowing full well the damage that will be incurred
00:31:59by both men who are capable of the highest levels of violent savagery.
00:32:06The End
00:32:07The End
00:32:07The End
00:32:51His opponent from Air Scotland weighed in for 285 pounds, Drew McIntyre!
00:33:04Now we know Drew McIntyre can get down and dirty with the best of them.
00:33:09Last year at WrestleMania, he knocked off Damian Priest in a thin city street fight.
00:33:16And today McIntyre has no rules to follow except get a pinfall or a submission to win the match.
00:33:24Yeah, and this is a Drew McIntyre who was fully intent a few weeks ago on walking into WrestleMania as
00:33:31WWE Champion.
00:33:33That went out of the window when he lost it to Cody Rhodes, thanks in large part to the arrival
00:33:39mid-match of one Samoan werewolf.
00:33:43And that is why Drew McIntyre is laser focused on taking the werewolf down tonight.
00:33:49Don't forget, Jacob Fatu still blames this man for kicking his teeth down his throat last year.
00:33:54And why did McIntyre do that?
00:33:56Because Jacob Fatu falsely...
00:34:00Oh, look at this!
00:34:01Jacob Fatu wasting little time going after Drew McIntyre in this unsanctioned match is underway.
00:34:07Bouncing McIntyre off the barricade.
00:34:09And here comes an unhinged Jacob Fatu.
00:34:13The referee has very little he needs to do in this match other than count the three count or accept
00:34:18a submission.
00:34:19And I would not blame him to stay well clear of these two until he needs to close in.
00:34:25McIntyre driven into the ring post by Jacob Fatu.
00:34:29He says, I'm the barricade, stealing scraps.
00:34:33I'm a werewolf on the hunt.
00:34:37And that werewolf looks ravenous right now.
00:34:40Catching McIntyre cold.
00:34:42That's exactly what you need to do.
00:34:43Get the upper hand early in this one.
00:34:46That's getting dangerous out here at ringside early.
00:34:49There's Jacob Fatu now.
00:34:52Turning a table into the ring completely legal under the rules of an unsanctioned match.
00:34:57Do you like the fact that Nick Aldis made this unsanctioned so WWE could not be held liable?
00:35:04Well, he had no choice whatsoever.
00:35:05You could have put a bunch of rules in place.
00:35:07You could have made sure this was an official match as is standard in WWE.
00:35:13Oh!
00:35:13These two are going to throw it out the window anyway.
00:35:16Let's not forget it wasn't that long ago.
00:35:18McIntyre got suspended for taking out a referee with a Claymore.
00:35:22And I've just noticed it's actually the referee in the ring right now.
00:35:24Wait up.
00:35:25And Jacob Fatu now unloading a toolbox.
00:35:29That is PTSD for McIntyre.
00:35:32And I'll tell you why.
00:35:33And you see McIntyre backing off here.
00:35:35McIntyre remembers CM Punk inside him in a cell.
00:35:39Toolbox and tools where McIntyre had 17 stitches to his skull.
00:35:44And now McIntyre looking to use the toolbox.
00:35:47Well, maybe not.
00:35:48Well, it almost ended the career with Drew McIntyre.
00:35:51And he wants to see another toolbox again in his life.
00:35:53Oh, and my goodness.
00:35:55Fatu whipped the back of his head bouncing off the steel aprons.
00:36:00And there's no letter whatsoever, nor should there be from McIntyre.
00:36:07It's kill or be kill now.
00:36:09And Jacob Fatu, both the front and back of his head,
00:36:14getting smashed into the steel of that ring frame.
00:36:19Jacob Fatu had McIntyre on his heels early.
00:36:24Just like this, Drew McIntyre has turned the tables.
00:36:28McIntyre prides himself on being the most vicious man in WWE.
00:36:32And he's certainly shown that over the past couple of years.
00:36:35If anyone can match him, it is Jacob Fatu.
00:36:39And McIntyre now looking to lift Fatu.
00:36:42But he's driven, spying first into the post.
00:36:45So much raw power possessed by both of these men.
00:36:49So much durability.
00:36:51And McIntyre with a close eye.
00:36:53Did you hear that?
00:36:54Did you hear the thud when McIntyre collapsed the chest of Jacob Fatu?
00:37:08And now using the phone to his advantage.
00:37:11The phone handed to him by his own brother who flew here to watch McIntyre compete for the WWE Championship.
00:37:19Part of why McIntyre is so irate.
00:37:21Didn't he learn a couple of years ago when he got involved in selfies and social media after he won
00:37:26the world title at WrestleMania, what happened to him?
00:37:28Well, it looks like he just tweeted something.
00:37:30Go check that out right now as McIntyre continues his assault with more weapons of war.
00:37:36And again, that McIntyre...
00:37:39Oh, it's Fatu with an explosive clothesline.
00:37:43It shows you how quickly someone like Jacob Fatu could bounce back from the kind of assault Levy that had
00:37:48him so far.
00:37:49The grazed eyes.
00:37:51And there's the running senton.
00:37:53It is a freakish ability that Jacob Fatu possesses a whirlwind of torture.
00:38:04Remember last year at WrestleMania, Jacob Fatu won the United States Championship.
00:38:11The question now is, has Drew McIntyre completely underestimated this warlord that is the Samoan werewolf?
00:38:22Payne homage to the great, great Umaga and McIntyre.
00:38:26And look at this.
00:38:28Fatu, pop-up, Samoan!
00:38:31Cover by Fatu.
00:38:34Just to be clear, Drew McIntyre is 280 pounds.
00:38:40And Jacob Fatu threw him up in the air and caught him with ease.
00:38:44Let's take another look at this.
00:38:46From Jacob Fatu, popped in the air, caught on the way back down and driven down hard with that Samoan
00:38:54drop.
00:38:55This is just the second unsanxed match in WrestleMania history.
00:39:02Remember when Seth Rollins beat Triple H nearly 10 years ago?
00:39:06Flying Glasgow kiss there, just about saving McIntyre when coming in, swinging the steel with Jacob Fatu.
00:39:14And how quickly this one could turn around where every shot is as lethal as what we've seen.
00:39:20Yeah, the Glasgow kiss, very lethal.
00:39:23McIntyre has used it to his advantage so many times over the years.
00:39:27Fatu now reverses as McIntyre almost ran into his own chair, caught him with a back elbow.
00:39:32Put the brakes on just in the nick of time.
00:39:36Both men, ooh!
00:39:37Starting to drag a little here and face first into that steel ring post.
00:39:41And now McIntyre, oh!
00:39:43Up and over goes Jacob Fatu.
00:39:45And now Drew McIntyre, seems like he's entering the zone here.
00:39:50McIntyre just pissed off and he got thrown up in the air by Fatu.
00:39:53Here's a taste of your own medicine.
00:39:55I got some power too, Fatu.
00:39:57He's always pissed off, Wade.
00:39:58I mean, that probably wasn't the only reason.
00:40:01Just bitter, unpredictable, and hell-bent on scoring a major victory here in front of the world.
00:40:10And the big man gonna fly over the top!
00:40:13Take it out Fatu!
00:40:15Drew McIntyre!
00:40:16He's a Terminator in there!
00:40:18Just bouncing up immediately, knowing full well you've got to double down on this abuse.
00:40:23And now McIntyre, looking for the death blow.
00:40:27Three, two, one!
00:40:31Went for the claymore!
00:40:32Jacob able to duck underneath!
00:40:38And McIntyre now!
00:40:41Skull first into that steel chair away now!
00:40:44Fatu, Mighty Moonsault!
00:40:46Cover on McIntyre!
00:40:50McIntyre kicked out!
00:40:51Oh my god!
00:40:52I'm not sure anyone has ever kicked out of Fatu's Mighty Moonsault!
00:40:57Well, take a look at this, first of all.
00:40:59McIntyre putting it all on the line and connecting with Fatu.
00:41:03But just when he'd eaten the steel head first,
00:41:06followed up by this double jump moonsault that is a signature of Fatu's.
00:41:11Everyone who's tasted that has been beaten until right now at WrestleMania.
00:41:17And McIntyre staying alive, living dangerously.
00:41:24Over 50,000 tonight at Allegiant Stadium.
00:41:28Joining this, enjoying this matchup on ESPN2 and Netflix internationally.
00:41:34And now McIntyre with a wrench to the back of the knee.
00:41:37Just kneecapping his opponent here and now going to town with a rough edge of that wrench.
00:41:43And again, you said it at the start of this matchup.
00:41:45Oh my god, he's going to blind him.
00:41:47Trying to take out the eye of Fatu here.
00:41:49And this is why it's unsanctioned, Cole.
00:41:53There's so much disdain, so much hatred, pure violence between these two men.
00:41:59I'm about to say both men starting to drag.
00:42:02But Drew McIntyre has found the second wind at exactly the right time.
00:42:06He's a machine. There's no doubt about it.
00:42:08Each and every time we see McIntyre in action,
00:42:11we're more and more impressed with what this man can accomplish.
00:42:14He may be the greatest in history to come from the British Isles.
00:42:17And I don't say that lightly, but he proves it time and time again.
00:42:21And he's only getting better.
00:42:22And now with the steel chairs set up, McIntyre looking for a suplex.
00:42:27And Fatu sent through the chairs.
00:42:29Cover by McIntyre.
00:42:33Oh, and a kick out.
00:42:34I think the only thing that's safe by two there is he didn't collide with both of those chairs.
00:42:38Yeah, it took a glancing blow to the back, which will be incredibly painful.
00:42:43But it's certainly not going to shatter the spine like McIntyre intended.
00:42:47And notice who the official is in this match.
00:42:49Dan Engler, who's had quite the history with Drew McIntyre.
00:42:57And again, the referee can't do anything about it.
00:43:00Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:43:01He just took the belt.
00:43:03Well, we saw something similar a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown.
00:43:08McIntyre whipping the hell out of Jacob Fatu, a man he calls an unreformed convict.
00:43:14He's looking to humiliate him once again at WrestleMania.
00:43:19The leather belt is set.
00:43:22Fatu slowly making his way back to his feet and a super kick.
00:43:26Drops McIntyre.
00:43:28Just too much glee in the eyes of McIntyre there.
00:43:31Did not pounce when he could.
00:43:33Waited a beat too long.
00:43:35And you can't do that with the werewolf.
00:43:37And now a chair to the spine.
00:43:38You saw McIntyre trying to crawl toward the belt.
00:43:41But Fatu with another steel chair.
00:43:43It's not just the spine.
00:43:45It's the kidneys that get shredded.
00:43:47And it may be payback time, Cole.
00:43:49I don't think he's giving it back to Angler.
00:43:52Jacob Fatu!
00:44:05Fatu is unleashed!
00:44:09Did you hear the strikes, Wade?
00:44:11Just absolute anarchy in that ring.
00:44:14And the frame of McIntyre may be shattered here.
00:44:19Payne coursing through his veins.
00:44:21Brain just shutting off.
00:44:23And once again, Fatu going back to that toolbox.
00:44:27McIntyre who's knocked off Brock and Seth and Priest.
00:44:31No!
00:44:31Claymore!
00:44:32Jacob took a little too much time.
00:44:35Claymore by McIntyre.
00:44:37And Fatu kicks out.
00:44:39Oh, and that was a weak, weak kick out incredibly from Drew McIntyre's biggest weapon, the Claymore.
00:44:47The one that does all the damage.
00:44:49And now he's blaming the official for what he perceived was a slow count here.
00:44:53Both men so blinded by hatred.
00:44:55They've simply taken too long at times to launch vicious attacks.
00:44:59And their opponents have countered.
00:45:01And now they are both kicked out of their biggest moves.
00:45:05And where the hell do you go from here?
00:45:06WrestleMania Saturday is underway.
00:45:09Jacob Fatu, Drew McIntyre.
00:45:12Unsanctioned match.
00:45:36And now McIntyre looking to gain the upper hand.
00:45:38Head punch go by Fatu.
00:45:40Driving McIntyre.
00:45:41Down to the mat.
00:45:41And look at Jacob Fatu go.
00:45:43We're about to learn a lot about these two.
00:45:45Who has the biggest appetite for warfare?
00:45:50Somebody's hopes are fading rapidly.
00:45:53Who can dig the deepest?
00:45:57And Jacob Fatu now set to set up a table.
00:46:00Again, thank you for joining us on ESPN2 tonight for the first hour of WrestleMania.
00:46:05The rest of the show will continue in just a few moments over on the ESPN app.
00:46:09Part of the unlimited plan is Jacob Fatu.
00:46:13Jacob Fatu now looks to take McIntyre out as he sends him face first into the table.
00:46:21And that swaggering confidence of Drew McIntyre feels like a long time ago at this point.
00:46:29Goodness, right across the elbow of McIntyre's body simply would not cooperate with him at this point.
00:46:38Trying to get some feeling back in those fingers.
00:46:40He's got bigger problems than fingers coming up here though.
00:46:44And then McIntyre pulling on the table.
00:46:47Jacob Fatu looks to take the slow climb to the top rope.
00:46:51And McIntyre off the table.
00:46:53Chair bounced off the face of Fatu.
00:46:55And now McIntyre with an opportunity.
00:46:59Exactly what you've got to do.
00:47:01Wait until your opponent drops his guard.
00:47:04And then hope you've got enough left in the tank to do something like this.
00:47:07And now McIntyre, oh my goodness, McIntyre just sent Fatu through the table which was set up here at ringside.
00:47:20And now McIntyre may have Fatu exactly where he's watching.
00:47:25What a devastating landing that was.
00:47:28And it is now all in the hands of McIntyre to put this one to bed.
00:47:36Fatu just trying to roll out of harm's way as McIntyre again stalks his man.
00:47:41Looks for the claymore.
00:47:42Runs into a super kick by Fatu.
00:47:45And another one by Fatu.
00:47:47Drops McIntyre.
00:47:48Just incredible bounce back ability from Fatu.
00:47:52And once again loitering with intent is that toolbox.
00:47:57Right off the skull of McIntyre who may be out.
00:48:02Jacob Fatu.
00:48:04Marty Moonshot through the table.
00:48:08One, two, three.
00:48:14Here is your winner.
00:48:16The Samoan World.
00:48:21Jacob Fatu.
00:48:26It was as violent as we expected.
00:48:30And Jacob Fatu, look at him.
00:48:34Praise luck in his eye.
00:48:36As volatile as they come.
00:48:39Oh, what an incendiary matchup that was.
00:48:44Fatu somehow, someway, simply outlasting McIntyre.
00:48:50But the volume of abuse both men absorbed was something to behold.
00:48:55Jacob Fatu said he was going to go back in time for one night.
00:49:01And boy, did he ever.
00:49:02Look how we got there.
00:49:04This is the moment McIntyre thought he had this thing.
00:49:06Won the shot.
00:49:07Fall to the outside.
00:49:09Crashing through a table and crashing down hard.
00:49:12The issue McIntyre has at this point.
00:49:15He's got to get his opponent back in the ring.
00:49:17And that is when Jacob Fatu turned it around.
00:49:20That toolbox once again in McIntyre's career.
00:49:23Horns at him.
00:49:24And then simply no way back from this.
00:49:27A one, two, whammy.
00:49:29Massive moonsault through the table.
00:49:31What a victory for Jacob Fatu.
00:49:35Jacob Fatu puts to rest the demon known as Drew McIntyre.
00:49:54Jacob Fatu, impressive here tonight in this unsanctioned match against the Scottish warrior Drew McIntyre.
00:50:02And you have to wonder if this finally closes the book on what has been a long, long, vicious rivalry.
00:50:11Well, for the safety of these two men, I certainly hope so.
00:50:15But Fatu going onwards and onwards from here.
00:50:18He always said he wants to be the number one representative of his family.
00:50:23And claims the top gold here.
00:50:25Where does Fatu's career go from here?
00:50:28All options are on the table.
00:50:30But for McIntyre, this is going to be a bitter pill to swallow.
00:50:34And it's going to take a long, long time to get over this loss.
00:50:37The handcuffs were off for Jacob Fatu tonight in an impressive win on the grand stage of WrestleMania.

00:56:01Only Alexa and Charlotte can pull off those outfits.
00:56:06The former tag team champions looking to win back the gold here tonight.
00:56:12Charlotte Flair, of course, has become synonymous with WrestleMania over the years.
00:56:21WrestleMania 34, WrestleMania 34, when she beat Asuka to end the record undefeated streak of the Empress of Tomorrow.
00:56:27She beat Rhea Ripley back at Mania 36.
00:56:31Ronda Rousey at Mania 38.
00:56:33And, of course, Wade, the history-making WrestleMania 35 for Charlotte Flair.
00:56:38Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch will be a part of the first-ever women's match to main event WrestleMania.
00:56:46Just so we're clear, Cole, I think you could pull off both of those outfits.
00:56:51Oh, thanks.
00:56:51Let's move on because we've got two top stars who know all about hitting top gear at WrestleMania.
00:56:57Looking to win back tag gold once again tonight.

00:57:42Next, the team of Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
00:57:50Bayley got what she wanted.
00:57:52An opportunity to once again be a part of WrestleMania.
00:57:55Remember last year, Wade, Becky Lynch, we would find out later, would attack Bayley, taking her out of WrestleMania.
00:58:02Becky would replace her to team with Lyra Valkyria to win the tag team gold.
00:58:06Well, that was a short-lived reign.
00:58:09And, of course, Becky Lynch, who had previously attacked Bayley, then went on to attack Lyra
00:58:14before these two got back together, smoothed things over,
00:58:17and now launching an assault on finally getting the gold here at WrestleMania.
00:58:23Bayley has three wins in this great spectacle.
00:58:27Of course, back at WrestleMania 40, when she beat EO Sky to win the WWE Women's Championship.
00:58:46Yeah.
00:58:49Uh-huh.
00:58:58Next, they are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:59:06Nia Jax and Lash Legend, the Irresistible Forces.
00:59:14And both Nia and Lash Legend paying homage to Legends.
00:59:19Brand new WWE Hall of Famers, Axe and Smash, Demolition, who were inducted at just a very emotional ceremony last
00:59:27night.
00:59:27Yeah, from one powerhouse duo to another, here comes the Nia, and here comes the Lasher,
00:59:34the reigning tag team champs here for the women in WWE.
00:59:39And what an unstoppable powerhouse duo they make.
00:59:43Yeah, they won the tag titles back at the end of February
00:59:46by knocking off Rhea Ripley and EO Sky, undefeated as a team.
00:59:53That's a formidable, a pair of foes as you could possibly imagine.
00:59:57Possess zero physical weaknesses on a hell of a lot of assets.
01:00:04And damn, they look good tonight.
01:00:06Ready to sparkle here in the desert.
01:00:09Alexa Bliss looking on her and Nia Jax with quite the rivalry.
01:00:14In fact, Nia knocked off Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania to win the world title.
