00:02:41The rest of the night takes place on the ESPN app with the unlimited plan.
00:02:46And the main event will be the world champion CM Punk versus Roman Reigns.
00:02:51And it's been a long and winding road for the Second City Saint.
00:02:55His wrestling debut, LWF 1997.
00:02:58His journey through the indies would continue.
00:03:00Mid-American wrestling.
00:03:02Then off to St. Paul Championship wrestling.
00:03:05He would find his feet in Ring of Honor two decades ago.
00:03:08Then his dream would come true.
00:03:0920 years ago, his WWE debut in the reborn ECW.
00:03:14Then he would win his first world championship in 2008.
00:03:18The famous controversial pipe bomb in 2011.
00:03:222014.
00:03:23He would leave WWE for nearly a decade before the improbable return in 2023.
00:03:29And now reigns as the world champion to face Roman Reigns tomorrow night.

00:07:05You have that I yes
00:07:05- отмет합 You about
00:07:30For the first time in her career,
00:07:33Rob Primera, Stephanie McCurk walks to the ring and she's the women's world champion.
00:07:42In a matchup where she faces Lynn Morgan for the very first time ever.
00:07:48A match that has become so personal.
00:07:50Just look at the face of Lynn Morgan.
00:07:53The bruises still on display after an attack a couple of weeks ago.
00:07:57Morgan winning the Royal Rumble this year after being the bridesmaid a couple of times.
00:08:03Earned this opportunity, chose Stephanie McCurk, and here we are tonight.
00:08:32She won the title in September at Wrestle Palooza tonight.
00:08:37She defends.
00:08:40And the Women's World Championship match is brought to you by Fortnite.
00:08:44Lynn Morgan and Stone Cold Steve Austin just crouched the biggest rivalry in Battle Royal.
00:08:50Team Foundation versus Team Ice King.
00:08:52Time to settle the score.
00:08:54Available now in the Fortnite item shop.
00:09:04With me WrestleMania without the great Alicia Taylor.
00:09:10The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:09:16And it is for the Women's World Championship.
00:09:26Introducing first the challenger from Elmwood Park, New Jersey, Lynn Morgan.
00:09:42And her opponent from San Fernando, Chile.
00:09:49Today, she is the Women's World Champion, Stephanie McCurk.
00:10:02You are looking at two of the biggest stars in our industry today.
00:10:08Stephanie McCurk, Lynn Morgan could not have had more opposite upbringings.
00:10:13A more opposite pathway to get to this moment in their careers.
00:10:19The official Eddie Arengo will be the referee for this match tonight.
00:10:24And I'll tell you right now what Stephanie McCurk has done since arriving in WWE has been absolutely incredible.
00:10:32The past two years has just been a long victory streak.
00:10:36She's been amazing.
00:10:37How has she done it?
00:10:38By being calm and composed.
00:10:40The master stroke of Liv Morgan leading into this match as she's turned highly emotional.
00:10:46And can Stephanie McCurk compete with that considering Liv Morgan is a woman who thrives in chaos.
00:10:53And as you can see the way this matchup starts.
00:10:55No love lost between these two women, Morgan and McCurk.
00:10:58And Stephanie gonna chase Liv outside the ring.
00:11:00Now here's my question for you.
00:11:02Stephanie's been focused on this match for weeks and weeks and weeks.
00:11:05Liv Morgan has to an extent, but she's off film and music videos cutting that brand new song Trouble.
00:11:11Do you think her head's here or elsewhere?
00:11:13No, absolutely not.
00:11:14I think her head is right where it should be.
00:11:16She had one of the greatest 2024s of anybody.
00:11:202025 was wiped out by injury.
00:11:22Liv Morgan came back for one reason.
00:11:24To get back to the very top.
00:11:26Did the right thing in January.
00:11:28Won the Royal Rumble.
00:11:29Now is the time to finish the job.
00:11:31And Morgan a two-time world champion.
00:11:34Hasn't had great success at Mania over her career.
00:11:37But hopes to change that tonight.
00:11:38Off the ropes.
00:11:39Turns it into a power bar.
00:11:40Stacks up the champ now.
00:11:42And Stephanie kicks out at two.
00:11:44Yeah Liv Morgan's a woman who's been looked down upon by some quarters through her path of her career.
00:11:50Never quite considered at that top echelon.
00:11:53That changed in a big way over the past couple of years.
00:11:55And even to this day.
00:11:56The care isn't quite giving her the credit.
00:11:58I believe Liv Morgan deserves.
00:12:00Well Stephanie extremely confident.
00:12:02And there's a reason.
00:12:02She's not been pinned or submitted.
00:12:05Since coming to the main roster.
00:12:06Liv Morgan nice suplex.
00:12:08And again her boyfriend Dirty Dominic Mysterio.
00:12:11And they both use this move.
00:12:12The three amigos made famous by the late great Eddie Guerrero.
00:12:17He's so influential to the career of Dominic Mysterio.
00:12:21Liv Morgan now finds herself in control.
00:12:25What does Liv have to do to win the title tonight?
00:12:27That's to keep the pressure on Stephanie Vaquer at all times.
00:12:31We know full well that Stephanie Vaquer with a win in her sails only ever leads to victory.
00:12:37And Liv Morgan has to be acutely aware of getting the upper hand which he has.
00:12:40Finishing the job.
00:12:41Liv now from high above the ring.
00:12:43Top rope.
00:12:44Went for the frog splash.
00:12:46And there you go.
00:12:46It was that beat on top of the turnbuckle.
00:12:49But Liv Morgan doesn't normally pull off.
00:12:52But that one moment was all the care needed.
00:12:54And here's your favorite move Michael Cole.
00:12:58It's bookies by the way.
00:13:00And yours.
00:13:01Don't lie.
00:13:01Don't get shy now.
00:13:03And now Stephanie.
00:13:04Gonna turn into the devil's kiss on Liv Morgan.
00:13:09And you would be wise to stay quiet.
00:13:17It doesn't seem like the pressure of the first WrestleMania has been getting to Stephanie at all here.
00:13:23Oh wow.
00:13:24Knees right to the jaw.
00:13:25That was beautiful.
00:13:26Cover by Stephanie Vaquer.
00:13:28And a kick out by Morgan.
00:13:32And you're right.
00:13:33The pressure just doesn't get to Vaquer.
00:13:35That has been true of day one since she arrived in NXT a couple of years ago on a crash
00:13:41course all the way to the NXT Championship.
00:13:44And that momentum never slowed.
00:13:46And here we go Cole.
00:13:47Oh nice reversal there from Liv Morgan.
00:13:50And Morgan now with a backstab.
00:13:56Vaquer might have been looking for that SVP at one point there but quickly turning around acutely aware of the
00:14:03danger of that particular move was Morgan.
00:14:06And again Liv Morgan.
00:14:07Oh hold on.
00:14:08What's going on here Cole?
00:14:11Hold on.
00:14:12Look like she was gonna go for devil's kiss.
00:14:14And almost got caught.
00:14:16And that's the problem.
00:14:17You get a little too cocky in there with a world champ like Stephanie Vaquer.
00:14:20You're gonna get into problems.
00:14:22Now Stephanie with Liv.
00:14:25Is it enough to retain the championship?
00:14:28Knee to the small.
00:14:29The back forcing Morgan to kick out.
00:14:31Just about kicking out there and living incredibly dangerously here is Liv Morgan.
00:14:37And things are going completely off the rails.
00:14:41Double under hug with the knee blasted into the back of the neck.
00:14:45That has done so much damage to all opponents throughout the career of Vaquer.
00:14:50And somehow Liv Morgan is alive in this one but only just.
00:14:56And Vaquer is also dragging at this point too.
00:15:00If she can pick up the pace here but no.
00:15:02Code breaker by Morgan.
00:15:05Dropping Vaquer back toward the rope.
00:15:07Stephanie though able to roll through perhaps playing possum.
00:15:09I don't think we've got all of it.
00:15:10Oblivion.
00:15:11Stephanie just hit Liv with her own move.
00:15:14Oblivion into the cover.
00:15:16But small legs and Morgan's gotta kick out.
00:15:18Wow.
00:15:18Well what a major statement.
00:15:20It would have been for Vaquer.
00:15:21Putting Liv Morgan away with her own specialized move.
00:15:26The Oblivion.
00:15:27But it was not to be.
00:15:29And now is this a crisis starting to stir up in the mind of La Primera.
00:15:33Exactly.
00:15:34But mentally this could screw up Morgan as well.
00:15:37Getting hit by her own move.
00:15:38The Oblivion.
00:15:39Well Matt.
00:15:39Morgan's barely got anything in the past couple of minutes in here.
00:15:42And she's been hit with some major, major offense from La Primera.
00:15:46Who looks like.
00:15:47Oh wait up.
00:15:47Up to the top rope.
00:15:48That's Roxanne Perez.
00:15:49Not a moment too soon.
00:15:50Stephanie didn't care.
00:15:51Purse perhaps for the care inferno is what she calls it.
00:15:55And now Raquel Rodriguez getting involved.
00:15:57The numbers game from the Judgment Day.
00:16:00Morgan.
00:16:01Oblivion.
00:16:03Cover by Liv.
00:16:06Stephanie kicks out.
00:16:08Well that was the game plan.
00:16:10If things go wrong.
00:16:11Hit the ring.
00:16:12Help me out.
00:16:13Roxanne with the distract.
00:16:15The damage caused by the massive Raquel.
00:16:18But somehow the care still lives on here.
00:16:21And this is where it looked like it had gone south for La Primera.
00:16:25Drake over the top rope.
00:16:26Followed up quickly with Oblivion.
00:16:28And referee absolutely clueless to what just went down.
00:16:32And that was a late kick out.
00:16:33But a kick out all the same.
00:16:35And now if you're lit what do you do?
00:16:36You just hit your finishing move.
00:16:38Couldn't put Stephanie McCarrow away.
00:16:40It was clearly going for a second by the charity.
00:16:42The official's gotta do something about this.
00:16:44Judgment Day is just swarming all over the place out here.
00:16:47Well that's always been the playbook of the Judgment Day.
00:16:50La Primera was clearly ready for it.
00:16:53Oh no.
00:16:55Looked like she was setting up for Oblivion.
00:16:57Ended up going through the ropes and taking out her Judgment Day colleagues.
00:17:01Almost a sixth sense there.
00:17:03From Stephanie McCarrow.
00:17:05Wait up!
00:17:05Big cross body from the top rope.
00:17:08Morgan though was able to escape.
00:17:11Well took out the two miscreants on the outside.
00:17:14Oh no.
00:17:14And Morgan driving McCarrow into the steps.
00:17:17No distraction.
00:17:18Sometimes that is all it needs.
00:17:22Look at the code breaker from the second rope.
00:17:26Stephanie in trouble.
00:17:28Morgan now Oblivion for a second time.
00:17:31Cover.
00:17:33When Morgan wins the championship.
00:17:37Here is your winner.
00:17:39The new Women's World Champion.
00:17:45Morgan!
00:17:46Liv!
00:17:48Morgan!
00:17:50And the man who faces the demon tomorrow.
00:17:53Dirty Dominic Mysterio comes out to celebrate.
00:17:57And the greatest love story of our time continues.
00:18:03What a celebration it is going to be tonight in Sin City for these two.
00:18:08Don't party too hard Dom.
00:18:10Don't burn off all your energy this evening.
00:18:12You'll need some of that tomorrow.
00:18:13When you take on the Demon Finn Balor.
00:18:16But for now.
00:18:16It is party time in the clubhouse.
00:18:19But what a champion Stephanie McCarrow was.
00:18:22Amazing.
00:18:22And this ended up being a three on one match Wade.
00:18:25I mean very little chance at this point.
00:18:27And it looked like miraculously Stephanie McCarrow was going to pull it out again.
00:18:33So many distractions on the outside.
00:18:35And this was one too many for the now former champ after her first reign comes to a close.
00:18:42What oblivion right here.
00:18:44And Liv Morgan is back where she belongs.
00:18:47Right at the very business end of the women's division.
00:18:51Your new world champ.
00:18:53Liv Morgan as world champion is going to cause a lot of trouble on Monday Night Raw.
00:19:01The Judgment Day in full force.
00:19:05Wade danced into the theme song.
00:19:07Dominic Zola smiles.
00:19:09Hey Dom, don't forget.
00:19:10You got the demon tomorrow.
00:19:14I told you.
00:19:15I'm the greatest women's world champion of all time.
00:19:23大家好.
00:19:24I'm the last name.

00:20:21at nearly 45 minutes this past couple of months ago.
00:20:24Yeah, it tells you exactly how vital it is
00:20:27to earn opportunities for yourself here in WWE.
00:20:30Liv did that, and she converted to nine new world champ.
00:20:33Congrats, Liv, and the Judgment Day.
00:20:35And you can't take anything away from Stephanie Baccaro.
00:20:37What an unbelievable champion she was.
00:20:40And it's always hard when you come into WWE.
00:20:42It's not your native language here.
00:20:44It's not your native culture.
00:20:45She has been absolutely stunningly good for two straight years.

00:24:11I never needed you at all.
00:24:17I never needed you at all.
00:24:24I'm on my own, against the wall.
00:24:27The pressure's beating up the heart will never fall.
00:24:30They said I'm trying, they hear you in the water.
00:24:32They know what's going on, against the wall, way better than before.
00:24:35I never needed you at all.

00:25:31So, John, I think we need to add one more to the attendance list.
00:26:11Because the ESP is having a baby.
00:26:25Thank you so much for allowing our family to share this moment with yours.
00:26:39I stand corrected.
00:26:41We need to include the youngest WWE superstar in history.
00:26:47For 50,817 in attendance tonight.
00:26:55And you can feel the energy here in Las Vegas.
00:27:01All the noise.
00:27:03Everybody's focused on this box right here.
00:27:06Because next up is your main event.
00:27:17Congratulations to Bianca Belair.
00:27:20Of course, her husband, Montez Ford.
00:27:25Wow, what a shocker at WrestleMania.
00:27:29I'll tell you right now.
00:27:29That kid is going to be an athlete.
00:27:32Great genetics.
00:27:33Minutes away from Cody and Randy.
00:27:36All right, WrestleMania fans.
00:27:38We got something exciting for you.
00:27:39A special look at one of the most anticipated movies of the year.
00:27:42Street Fighter coming to theaters this October.
00:27:46Check it out.
00:27:48Sergeant Yari Arista from the USO and the Air Force here in Nevada.
00:27:52Wheatley raises a glass to SAF Sergeant Arista and all retired and active members of the U.S. military.
00:27:58Thank you for your service.
00:28:01Buckle up.
00:28:02It's time for our main event.
00:28:15You know, I always watch the relationship between Triple H and Randy.
00:28:21Triple H was Randy's mentor.
00:28:23They became opponents.
00:28:26The relationship wasn't as cozy.
00:28:29And I always thought, I don't know if that's how I want to be one day with Randy Orton, my
00:28:35mentor.
00:28:37And in the case of Randy, I don't think it will be that way.
00:28:42I don't think it will be that way.
00:28:50I'm not your son and I'm not your brother, but I have always been proud to be your boy.
00:28:57And after the main event of WrestleMania, I want you to know, I will always love you.
00:29:26It's not personal between Cody and I.
00:29:30I want my legacy to be how much gold I have put around my waist.
00:29:37Here I find myself in a pool of blood
00:29:42Sitting in a home I built below the God above
00:29:46Don't let that monster in.
00:29:49I just don't understand why you're fighting so hard to go back to being a version of yourself you've already
00:29:53beaten.
00:29:55The demon say
00:29:57I don't know if it's the voices in your head.
00:29:59I don't know if it's somebody in your ear.
00:30:03Break the...
00:30:08I don't even think I know this version of you, man.
00:30:13Cody said that I could listen to the voices.
00:30:16He said I could be the viper.
00:30:19Once you have woken inside of me, there's no putting you back to bed.
00:30:24Randy Orton, I am hearing those voices inside my head.
00:30:30Finally!
00:30:32There is one person outside of my head whose voice I am listening to.
00:30:39Pat McAfee?
00:30:41The business that you're leading is terrible!
00:30:46Randy is gonna save this business!
00:30:52This is what this business is supposed to look like!
00:30:59This is the house of what we've played
00:31:03I'm not scared and I will break down
00:31:06Pat!
00:31:07You and everyone who represents you can kiss my ass!
00:31:14This is what we've been fantastic!
00:31:16Tony walks right up onto the stage
00:31:19to ruin our set!
00:31:22Guess what?
00:31:23Cody wears
00:31:24The Wrestlemania in Las Vegas?
00:31:27Randy
00:31:28Saves the business!
00:31:30This is the house of woe and pain
00:31:33This is where I will begin again
00:31:44Hey!
00:31:47Let's go!
00:31:52Wait
00:32:07Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Pat McAfee!
00:32:14This hypocrite, I thought you two were boys.
00:32:19Yeah, you know what, I've given a lot of thought to this over the past few weeks.
00:32:24That man right there who now is telling the WWE fans what he thinks about him,
00:32:30this is the man who embraced these fans over the past number of years.
00:32:35This is the man who stood next to me when Cody Rhodes finished his story.
00:32:43The night that Cody Rhodes won the championship at WrestleMania,
00:32:46he had tears in his eyes, he was as emotional as I was for Cody Rhodes
00:32:53and what Rhodes had finally accomplished.
00:32:55And now, a few short years later, this guy walks into our business,
00:33:01he disrespects everyone, struts out here with his massive ego,
00:33:07and claims that he's gonna change the way things are done around here.
00:33:12I don't know what's happened to this guy, I don't know what's got in his head,
00:33:16except that this ass has an ego that is blowing completely out of control.
00:33:22Well, I'm not gonna try and add reason to the rhyme of some of the things Pat McAfee has said
00:33:29in recent weeks like you.
00:33:31There's very little of it that I agree with, but what it has done is created buzz,
00:33:36it's created eyeballs on this matchup now that perhaps might not have been there otherwise.
00:33:42Well, I agree, there's no doubt about it.
00:33:44I said it on ESPN this week, Pat McAfee being a part of this product will always generate buzz.
00:33:52His people are talking about it, he talks about it on his show on ESPN,
00:33:55but it's the way he's going about this, and this attitude he has, this larger-than-thou feeling.
00:34:06Well, he's somebody, and I'll use a Michael Cole slash John Cena word from earlier in the night,
00:34:11he is polarizing here in WWE.
00:34:14Yeah, I got a lot of other words I can say about him too.
00:34:16We'll get taken off air if you do, he has been loved, he has been hated,
00:34:20he's been everything in between, and right now I think it's pretty much 100% on the hated end of
00:34:25that spectrum.
00:34:51I hear voices in my head, they tell to me, they understand, they talk to me.
00:35:08You got chills in your kitchen, all designed to keep you safe.
00:35:14But when the wolves start getting broken, they start questioning your fate.
00:35:20I have a voice that is my savior, hates to love and loves to hate.
00:35:26I have a voice that has to not live, and the power to be obey.
00:35:43I hear voices in my head, they tell to me, they tell to me, they tell to me, they tell
00:35:53to me, they tell to me.
00:35:57They tell to me, they tell to me, they tell to me, they tell to me.
00:36:11All the doctors are deceased
00:36:18And the preachers are sinners
00:36:21And police just take the grease
00:36:24All the doctors are guilty
00:36:27All the bosses are refined
00:36:30All the things will have lost its
00:36:33Politicians are alive
00:36:35I see darkness falling
00:36:39I hear voices calling
00:36:42I hear darkness calling
00:36:45I see faith has fallen
00:36:48Highly roses in my head
00:36:51They come to me, they understand
00:36:53They come to me
00:36:55They come to me
00:36:58They tell me things that I'm going to do
00:37:02They show me things out to me
00:37:05They talk to me
00:37:07They talk to me
00:37:09They talk to me
00:37:29I hear voices crying
00:37:32I hear voices crying
00:37:33I see demons dying
00:37:34I take the blood that's dying
00:37:37I feel tensed in my head
00:37:40I hear voices crying
00:37:43They come to me
00:37:44They say they come to me
00:37:47They come to me
00:37:50They say they come to me
00:37:59They talk to me
00:38:05They talk to me
00:38:07They have voices crying
00:38:09They talk to me
00:38:18They talk to me
00:38:20The Savior hates the love and lots of hate
00:38:24I have a force that has the moment
00:38:27And the power to be obeyed
00:38:30I hear voices crying
00:38:34I see heroes dying
00:38:37I taste blood that's dying
00:38:40I feel tension rising
00:38:42I hear voices crying
00:38:45And they're just reading
00:38:47And they're just reading
00:38:50They talk to me
00:38:53They talk to me
00:38:55Oh, God.
00:38:57They talk to me
00:39:03Look at this jock rider.
00:39:06They talk to me

00:39:51Listen to this place.
00:39:53I don't understand why Orton needs McAfee in his ear.
00:39:56I'll tell you why he needs McAfee in his ear.
00:39:59There is nothing McAfee can offer Orton when it comes to this business.
00:40:02No advice he can give him that will help Orton.
00:40:05What McAfee has done
00:40:06is divided the attention
00:40:08of Orton's opponent, Cody Rose.
00:40:11Ninety percent of the interviews in the lead-up to this
00:40:13that Cody has done
00:40:14have been about McAfee.
00:40:16That's a mistake.
00:40:17Oh, my God.
00:41:09Rosa Gunstar in the making, the sun of the green!
00:41:23Don't look at me!

00:44:35When I was younger, I got me better than the man!
00:44:41Yeah!
00:44:43You took it all away, I gave it all away!
00:44:46Can't take my freedom
00:44:49Can't change the game
00:44:51I better better play
00:44:52I built my kingdom
00:44:54Now you built your faith

00:45:15Cody's beautiful daughter
00:45:19Beautiful wife here as well
00:45:22And what has been a very trying
00:45:25Couple of months
00:45:26To be undisputed WWE champion
00:45:29The man who wants to be QB1
00:45:31Who wants to be the champion
00:45:33That people, that kids will look up to
00:45:35The man to carry this company
00:45:37Into the next generation
00:45:38Doing everything right
00:45:40But even men like Cody Rhodes
00:45:42After what he's been put through
00:45:44The past three years
00:45:47Will reach a breaking point
00:45:49Will that breaking point be tonight
00:46:03We use the word polarizing a lot tonight Wayne
00:46:06You can hear the reaction
00:46:08From the 50,000 plus here tonight
00:46:11In Las Vegas
00:46:12Well in unison
00:46:13They're completely behind QB1 Cody Rhodes
00:46:17They know what he's done for this industry
00:46:20They know the words of Pat McAfee several weeks ago
00:46:23Criticizing what QB1 Cody Rhodes represents here
00:46:28They know that's nonsense
00:46:29He just didn't criticize Cody Rhodes
00:46:31He criticized our industry
00:46:33He criticized our business
00:46:35He criticized all the WWE fans
00:46:38That have made that what this is today
00:46:40Or to strike his own ego
00:46:42For some damn reason
00:46:43That none of us can understand
00:46:45Well does Pat actually believe
00:46:47A word of what he said
00:46:48Or was he simply trying to get into the head
00:46:51Of Cody Rhodes for whatever reason
00:46:53Well if that was the game plan
00:46:56It has worked
00:46:57Let's be clear
00:46:58The focus of Cody is split tonight
00:47:01It's main event time
00:47:02Here's Alicia Taylor

00:48:05He's gonna show each and every one of you fat ass bums

00:48:15As he becomes
00:48:17A 15 time
00:48:20World champion
00:48:25The man who's gonna save the business tonight
00:48:30Randy
00:48:36Orton

00:49:59The fix is in

00:50:07Randy Orton
00:50:08Sent into the corner
00:50:09And now Pat McAfee

00:52:32Was attempted by McAfee
00:52:34The jumpstart
00:52:35Before the bell
00:52:35Even rang
00:52:36And McAfee
00:52:37Now has a
00:52:38One way ticket
00:52:39To hospital
00:52:40So Wade
00:52:40I do want to bring this up
00:52:41As they deal with McAfee
00:52:42At ringside
00:52:43Randy Orton
00:52:44Randy Orton
00:52:46There's been rumors
00:52:47Running rampant
00:52:48Online
00:52:48All week long
00:52:50About Randy Orton
00:52:52Possibly
00:52:52Being injured
00:52:53From what I understand
00:52:55Here
00:52:55From what I understand
00:52:56In the locker room
00:52:58Today
00:52:58There was a lot of talk
00:52:59About Randy Orton
00:53:00Have a back injury
00:53:01So will he be
00:53:02100%
00:53:03You know what you call that
00:53:04You call that a red herring
00:53:06That's just another thing
00:53:08Being thrown at Cody Rhodes
00:53:09To think about
00:53:10I don't believe it
00:53:11For a second
00:53:12Randy's been through
00:53:13The walls in his career
00:53:14We know he's had
00:53:15Major back issues
00:53:16I don't see any sign
00:53:18Of that right now
00:53:18Randy's part
00:53:19So does this McAfee situation
00:53:21Screw Randy up at all
00:53:22100%
00:53:23Clearly McAfee was here
00:53:25To be on the outside
00:53:26To be a major issue
00:53:27And a thorn in the sides
00:53:29We take another look
00:53:30At what just went down
00:53:31Before our main event
00:53:33Even got started
00:53:34It was a crossroads
00:53:36Followed up by this elbow drop
00:53:38Through the table
00:53:39By Jelly Roll
00:53:40Who'd been attacked
00:53:40By Orton
00:53:41And McAfee
00:53:42In the build up to this
00:53:57McAfee is being carted out
00:53:59Cody Rhodes is ready
00:54:01For a fight
00:54:01The Viper Randy Orton
00:54:03Looks to regroup
00:54:04What is at stake here
00:54:06Is Rhodes
00:54:07Undisputed
00:54:08WWE Championship
00:54:10And Randy Orton's
00:54:11March toward history
00:54:12A win tonight
00:54:14Moves him ahead
00:54:15Of Triple H
00:54:15Into third place
00:54:16All time
00:54:17With 15 world titles
00:54:18Flair is 16
00:54:20Cena is 17
00:54:21Orton would love
00:54:22To break the records
00:54:23He moves a minute closer
00:54:25If he wins tonight
00:54:29Randy, Randy, Randy
00:54:32Randy, Randy
00:54:34Randy, Randy
00:54:35This is the third main event
00:54:37At Wrestlemania
00:54:39In Randy Orton's career
00:54:4122 years
00:54:43At Wrestlemania
00:54:44This year
00:54:45This is really a position
00:54:47That neither man
00:54:48Thought they were gonna be
00:54:50In at this point
00:54:51Of the match
00:54:52The opening bell
00:54:53No Pat McAfee here
00:54:54To help Orton
00:54:55No Pat McAfee here
00:54:57To distract Cody Rhodes
00:54:59We're getting straight up
00:55:00Student versus teacher
00:55:02And I'll tell you right now
00:55:04Cole
00:55:04It rarely works out well
00:55:06When the student starts
00:55:08To outshine that teacher
00:55:09So now the lock up
00:55:11Collar and elbow
00:55:12Tie up into a headlock
00:55:13By Randy Orton
00:55:14Orton and Rhodes
00:55:15Here tonight
00:55:16What does Orton have to do
00:55:17To win the title
00:55:17Well Orton needs to think fast
00:55:19Because whatever game plan
00:55:20He had on the outside
00:55:21With Pat McAfee
00:55:22He needs to lean into
00:55:2325 years of experience
00:55:25And come up with a new game plan
00:55:26Pretty damn quickly
00:55:28For Cody Rhodes
00:55:29The man who's had a mixed bag
00:55:30In Wrestlemania
00:55:31Over the years
00:55:32What does Cody need to do
00:55:34To keep the title
00:55:34Well Cody needs to stay calm
00:55:36He's been popped through
00:55:37The wood chipper
00:55:38By Randy Orton
00:55:39Emotionally and physically
00:55:40Over the past several weeks
00:55:42Needs to block that out
00:55:43Realize this is just
00:55:44Another man
00:55:45You are competing against
00:55:47Time and again
00:55:48Cody has beaten
00:55:49The best of this industry
00:55:50Over the past three years
00:55:51Well he needs to do it again tonight
00:55:53Well Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes
00:55:55The relationship dates back
00:55:5620 years
00:55:57The formation of Legacy
00:55:58With Ted DiBiase Jr
00:55:59Cody Rhodes
00:56:00And Randy Orton
00:56:02Really giving Rhodes
00:56:03His start here
00:56:04At this level
00:56:05And WWE
00:56:06And there's the shoulder tackle
00:56:08By Orton
00:56:08Who seems to be moving
00:56:09Crisply so far
00:56:11Don't believe a word
00:56:12Of the hype
00:56:13You see online
00:56:13Michael Cole
00:56:14Well it's not just online
00:56:15There was a lot of talk
00:56:16In the locker room today
00:56:17About it
00:56:18Because people in the locker room
00:56:19Believe the nonsense
00:56:20They read online
00:56:21Well this is Randy Orton
00:56:22Who looks absolutely
00:56:23Back to a physical peak
00:56:25Cody bounced off
00:56:26The top turnbuckle
00:56:27By the Viper
00:56:29Randy Orton
00:56:30Who has nine wins
00:56:31At Wrestlemania
00:56:32He's tied fifth all time
00:56:33With a man we saw
00:56:34Earlier tonight
00:56:35Seth Rollins
00:56:37What is Randy's
00:56:38Primary motivation
00:56:40He wants to be
00:56:41The greatest of all time
00:56:42In terms of
00:56:43Total championships
00:56:44Gets one step closer
00:56:46Tonight with a victory
00:56:46A number 15
00:56:48Rhodes looking at
00:56:49Out quick
00:56:50There's the drop down
00:56:51With the right hand
00:56:52Randy misses Wildman
00:56:54Cody Rhodes
00:56:55On a power slam
00:56:56I'll tell you right now
00:56:58Speaking to Cody
00:56:58I was very close to him
00:56:59During my in-ring career
00:57:01And Cody would always
00:57:02Always talk on
00:57:03In rental cars
00:57:04At bars
00:57:05About how much
00:57:06He was inspired
00:57:07And impressed
00:57:08By Randy Orton
00:57:09How Randy Orton
00:57:09Was the perfect wrestler
00:57:11Nobody has studied
00:57:13Randy Orton
00:57:14As deeply as Cody Rhodes
00:57:15Has
00:57:15Rhodes now
00:57:17Off the second row
00:57:17Went for the Cody
00:57:18Cutter
00:57:18Got caught by Orton
00:57:20Now
00:57:20And Randy
00:57:20Oh and we haven't seen
00:57:21Randy do that in a while
00:57:22He delivered a backbreaker
00:57:24Randy came up a bit lame
00:57:26Oh
00:57:27You saw the way
00:57:28That Randy's back
00:57:29His body torqued
00:57:30As he delivered that
00:57:31To Cody Rhodes
00:57:32Now the moment of truth
00:57:33Remember the king of the ring
00:57:34A couple years back
00:57:36Earlier on
00:57:37A few months back
00:57:38Randy Orton now
00:57:38With a thumb to the eye
00:57:39Cody Rhodes
00:57:40Wouldn't pull the trigger
00:57:41On Randy
00:57:41It almost cost him
00:57:42Talk about a back issue
00:57:44Of course
00:57:44Randy's career
00:57:45Almost ended
00:57:45Just a couple of years ago
00:57:47By a major back surgery
00:57:49And that was certainly
00:57:50Something tweaked
00:57:51In that lower back
00:57:52And we'll see if Randy
00:57:53Can shrug that off
00:57:54That sometimes happens
00:57:55Early in matches
00:57:56You're not quite warm
00:57:57Those were long entrances
00:57:58A lot of nonsense
00:58:00On the outside
00:58:00Before the match even starts
00:58:01Sometimes your body
00:58:02Cools down
00:58:03Randy better just
00:58:04Tweaked a little something
00:58:05And once the body
00:58:06Temperature gets back up
00:58:08He's running
00:58:08Oh
00:58:11Delivering Randy
00:58:12With the slam
00:58:12Randy now
00:58:14Wildly standing
00:58:14In the right hand
00:58:15And Randy's
00:58:15He's hurting
00:58:16And he's going to
00:58:17Roll out of the ring
00:58:17It was that back
00:58:18Once again
00:58:19And
00:58:20And then I called it
00:58:21A red herring
00:58:21Early
00:58:22Maybe this is what
00:58:23The hype was
00:58:24In the locker room
00:58:26I told you
00:58:27The rumors
00:58:27Started to come out
00:58:29Earlier in the week
00:58:30And then there was
00:58:30A lot of talk
00:58:31About it today
00:58:31And Randy
00:58:33Isn't really hurting
00:58:34Imagine being Randy
00:58:35Orton
00:58:35You came down here
00:58:36Expecting to be
00:58:37100%
00:58:38You came down here
00:58:39Expecting to have
00:58:39Pat McAfee
00:58:40In your corner
00:58:41You're the challenger
00:58:42In the main event
00:58:43Of Wrestlemania
00:58:43And everything
00:58:44Just went to hell
00:58:45In a handbasket
00:58:50Randy's even just looking
00:58:51Slow
00:58:51Forget the pain part
00:58:53Just moving slow
00:58:54Oh and now driving
00:58:55Randy
00:58:56Into the corner
00:58:57Back first
00:58:58Cody Rhodes
00:58:58Being extremely aggressive
00:59:00Here tonight
00:59:00Understanding
00:59:01Orton's got a problem
00:59:03And now with a half crab
00:59:05Cody Rhodes
00:59:05Going to continue
00:59:06To apply the pressure
00:59:07To the injured
00:59:08Back of Orton
00:59:09I mean this is
00:59:10What you have to do
00:59:11When you're as good
00:59:12As these two
00:59:13That any weakness
00:59:14Whatsoever
00:59:15You have to exploit it
00:59:18You cannot have
00:59:19A single hesitation
00:59:21Gold is on the line here
00:59:23Your career legacy
00:59:24Is on the line here
00:59:25This man wants to take
00:59:27Everything from you
00:59:28Randy Orton admitting
00:59:30In an interview
00:59:30He did with you Wade
00:59:31That Cody's like a brother
00:59:33To him
00:59:34But this is about
00:59:35His legacy
00:59:36That is what drives
00:59:37Randy
00:59:37At this point
00:59:38In his career
00:59:39Yeah it was a
00:59:39Fascinating interview
00:59:40I was amazed
00:59:41At how calm
00:59:42And controlled
00:59:42Randy was
00:59:44There's a certain
00:59:47Controlled psychosis
00:59:48About him
00:59:49Which I realize
00:59:50Is an oxymoron
00:59:51But it's true
00:59:51It's like Randy
00:59:52Can flick a switch
00:59:53And that absolute
00:59:54Beast inside him
00:59:55Comes out to play
00:59:56And I'm impressed
00:59:57With what Cody's
00:59:58Doing tonight
00:59:58No hesitation
00:59:59To attack the
01:00:00Weakness of Orton
01:00:01Well not at all
01:00:02And this is what
01:00:03You have to do
01:00:04At this level
01:00:05And after everything
01:00:06Orton has done
01:00:07To Cody
01:00:07Over the past
01:00:08Four or so weeks
01:00:09This is exactly
01:00:11What Orton deserves
01:00:12Who can forget
01:00:13The blast to the head
01:00:15With that steel chair
01:00:16Several weeks ago
01:00:17On Smackdown
01:00:18That left Cody
01:00:18A bloody mess
01:00:19Or ended that friendship
01:00:21Orton blames Cody
01:00:22For all of this
01:00:23Saying that
01:00:23Cody Rhodes
01:00:24Is the one
01:00:25That unleashed the demons
01:00:26Told him to be
01:00:27Who you are
01:00:28And Randy took it
01:00:30To heart
01:00:30I mean Randy
01:00:34Is just a
01:00:35Binary personality
01:00:36It's black
01:00:37And it's white
01:00:37It's
01:00:38It's friend
01:00:39Or it's foe
01:00:40And when gold
01:00:41Is on the line
01:00:42You make a choice
01:00:44Even if you go back
01:00:46To the king of the ring
01:00:46Tournament
01:00:47The final last year
01:00:48Randy momentarily
01:00:50Hesitated
01:00:51To put Cody
01:00:52Away in that match
01:00:53He's
01:00:53He's
01:00:54Regretted it
01:00:55Ever since
01:00:56And if he gets
01:00:57A chance tonight
01:00:58He certainly
01:00:59Will not make
01:00:59That same mistake
01:01:00Again
01:01:00And Cody
01:01:01Had the same issue
01:01:02In that tournament
01:01:03With Orton
01:01:03And you saw
01:01:04Tonight
01:01:04He wasn't going
01:01:05To allow it
01:01:05To happen
01:01:05When this time
01:01:06Around
01:01:07All bets
01:01:08Are off
01:01:08At this point
01:01:08You hesitate
01:01:10When it's a friend
01:01:11These two
01:01:11Stop being friends
01:01:12Several weeks ago
01:01:14Well not if you
01:01:14Listen to Randy
01:01:18Elbows to the ear
01:01:20Cody Rhodes
01:01:22Reverse it
01:01:22Rhodes sent into the corner
01:01:23Up
01:01:24Over the top
01:01:25Scoops up
01:01:26Orton
01:01:27An incomodation
01:01:28And a kick out
01:01:29At two
01:01:34And again
01:01:35Right to the kidney area
01:01:37And Randy's having
01:01:38Trouble just standing
01:01:39Look at the way
01:01:40He can't play his feet on
01:01:41He can't even stand right
01:01:43Randy is a shadow
01:01:44Of the man
01:01:45That has been on the road
01:01:47To Wrestlemania
01:01:48That got himself here
01:01:49Well it's all gonna
01:01:51Ride tonight
01:01:52Cody now delivers
01:01:53A suplex
01:01:54Great strategy
01:01:55By the chain
01:01:56Into the cover
01:01:57And again
01:01:57These frequent covers
01:01:59Also hurting the back
01:02:00Of Orton
01:02:01As he has to kick out
01:02:02Yeah absolutely
01:02:03It plows pressure
01:02:04To the midsection
01:02:06Constantly having to
01:02:08Squeeze your torso
01:02:09And you're right
01:02:10That kick out
01:02:10Just triggering
01:02:11Whatever sciatic issue
01:02:13That might be
01:02:19Randy just trying to
01:02:20Somehow get himself
01:02:21Back in the match
01:02:22As Cody Rhodes now
01:02:23Looks to climb
01:02:24To the top rope
01:02:25Randy's barely got a shot in
01:02:27For the past five minutes
01:02:29He's been absorbing abuse
01:02:31And Randy Orton
01:02:33Able to cause Cody
01:02:35To lose his
01:02:36Lose his balance
01:02:37And now Randy has a chance
01:03:03And now Randy Orton
01:03:04And Cody Rhodes
01:03:06Exchanging blows
01:03:09Orton needs to end this match
01:03:10Quickly to have a chance
01:03:13I mean can he block out
01:03:15The pain enough
01:03:15To deliver enough damage
01:03:17To Cody
01:03:17To put him away
01:03:18That's the problem
01:03:19This is not smart
01:03:21Not at all
01:03:22Randy
01:03:22Randy letting his instincts
01:03:24Kick in
01:03:24But a superplex
01:03:26To Rhodes
01:03:26Won't be good
01:03:27For Orton either
01:03:29Cowboy Bob Orton style
01:03:32Randy Orton
01:03:33Reverting to type
01:03:34And clearly
01:03:36Regretting it
01:03:40And look at this
01:03:41You go big
01:03:42Or you go home
01:03:43At Wrestlemania
01:03:44And it may be time
01:03:45For Randy Orton
01:03:45To go home
01:03:46Because going big there
01:03:47Was a big mistake
01:03:54But at least
01:03:55The superplex
01:03:56From Orton's standpoint
01:03:56Has slowed Cody down a bit
01:03:58And there's a clothesline
01:03:59By Randy
01:03:59And now Randy
01:04:00Looking to build off
01:04:01Adrenaline
01:04:03There's the power slam
01:04:06And now Randy Orton's
01:04:10Superlative best
01:04:13And that pain
01:04:14As much as it's hindering
01:04:16Orton's abilities
01:04:18If he can block it out
01:04:19If he can focus
01:04:21If he can just do enough
01:04:22There is a path to victory
01:04:24And this is it
01:04:25And there's the drapey DDT
01:04:27That vintage Randy Orton move
01:04:29But again
01:04:30Torque in the back
01:04:31I'll tell you right now
01:04:32There may not be a move
01:04:34In the entirety of wrestling
01:04:36That does not involve
01:04:38The back somehow
01:04:40And even going down
01:04:42And
01:04:45Dropping to apparently
01:04:46Bang
01:04:47The mat
01:04:49Was an issue for Orton there
01:04:51But there's more than one way
01:04:53To skin a cat
01:04:57Back to his feet
01:04:58Went for the RKO
01:04:59Cody able to counter
01:05:01Randy
01:05:01Grabbed his back again
01:05:03Now sent out
01:05:04To the floor
01:05:05Right here in front of us
01:05:06Just a beat too slow
01:05:07Is Orton
01:05:08To follow up
01:05:08On what he's planning
01:05:09And Cody now runs
01:05:10Into a right hand
01:05:11By Randy
01:05:12And Randy needed that
01:05:13A nice club
01:05:14Right to the temple
01:05:15Of Cody Rhodes
01:05:16And Randy Orton
01:05:18Knocking the wind
01:05:19Out of Cody
01:05:19At the right time
01:05:23Look at the
01:05:24Mess of destruction
01:05:25Around us
01:05:26It may be about
01:05:26To get worse here
01:05:28Oh
01:05:30Randy Orton
01:05:31Loves delivering
01:05:32Those blows
01:05:33On the announce table
01:05:34Which he's doing
01:05:35To Cody Rhodes here
01:05:39Cody does have
01:05:40The advantage tonight
01:05:41Being the champion
01:05:43Randy's got to
01:05:44Pin or submit Rhodes
01:05:45To win the title
01:05:46A brave referee
01:05:48Who does a double
01:05:49Count out here
01:05:50And
01:05:50Talking about brave
01:05:51I'm kicking well
01:05:51Back from Randy Orton
01:05:54What a smile
01:05:55Across the face
01:05:56Of the viper
01:06:07Suddenly you see
01:06:08That belief
01:06:09Might be back
01:06:09In the eyes
01:06:10Of Randy Orton
01:06:11Oh no
01:06:12Orton
01:06:13Driven into the post
01:06:14By Cody
01:06:14And Cody
01:06:15Looking to rally
01:06:19Cody's been softened
01:06:20Up
01:06:21But he's got
01:06:22A diehard spirit
01:06:27This has been
01:06:28A physical match
01:06:29And Cody
01:06:30Of course
01:06:31He was attacked
01:06:32Before the match
01:06:33Even began
01:06:33By McAfee
01:06:35And Orton
01:06:35Which might have
01:06:36Been the best thing
01:06:37That could have
01:06:38Happened
01:06:38To Cody
01:06:40Based on how
01:06:41Things turned out
01:06:42In the aftermath
01:06:43Of said attack
01:06:45And now
01:06:46Randy Orton
01:06:49Orton's been
01:06:50Busted open
01:06:51And now
01:06:51Cody Rhodes
01:06:52With the right hand
01:06:53And Cody now
01:06:54Going to focus
01:06:54On that wound
01:06:55On the forehead
01:06:56Of Randy
01:06:57Head first
01:06:58Into that steel
01:06:59Ring post
01:07:00And the effects
01:07:01Are apparent
01:07:01To the entire
01:07:02World now
01:07:03And Randy Orton's
01:07:05Problems continue
01:07:06To spiral
01:07:07In this main event
01:07:08With the WWE title
01:07:10Hanging in the balance
01:07:11And now
01:07:12And I rate
01:07:12Cody Rhodes
01:07:13And angry Rhodes
01:07:14Taking advantage
01:07:15Of everything he can
01:07:17Against Randy Orton
01:07:22Can you imagine
01:07:23Cody Rhodes
01:07:24Four weeks ago
01:07:25Perhaps would have
01:07:26Had some sympathy
01:07:27Some empathy
01:07:28From his former
01:07:29Mentor
01:07:29From his former
01:07:30Friend
01:07:31We can't show
01:07:32That tonight
01:07:33Cody
01:07:33Yeah but a lot
01:07:34Has changed
01:07:35In the last
01:07:36Four weeks
01:07:41Complexion of the
01:07:41Industry
01:07:42The business
01:07:42Has changed
01:07:44So quickly
01:07:45Because of what
01:07:46Has happened
01:07:47In this rivalry
01:07:51Cody
01:07:53As Randy Orton
01:07:54Is begging
01:07:55Is begging for mercy
01:07:55Here
01:07:56Cody never thought
01:07:57He would be
01:07:58In this position
01:07:58Tonight
01:07:59He didn't think
01:08:00He'd get a viper
01:08:01So softened up
01:08:02By injury
01:08:03And Cody
01:08:05Cody showing
01:08:06No mercy at all
01:08:08Nor should he
01:08:09Oh and there it is
01:08:10The disaster
01:08:11Kick by Rhodes
01:08:12Randy Orton
01:08:13Drops in the ring
01:08:14Cody's got a chance
01:08:15Into the cover
01:08:16To retain the championship
01:08:17Orton just gets
01:08:19To shoulder up
01:08:19Well Orton is a shell
01:08:21Of a competitor
01:08:22Right now
01:08:23And you're in there
01:08:23With one of the
01:08:24Greatest in Cody Rhodes
01:08:26Not where you want to be
01:08:27We're going Rambo style
01:08:29Tonight
01:08:34This has become
01:08:35Just a methodical
01:08:37Beatdown by Cody
01:08:38Almost enjoying
01:08:40What he's doing
01:08:41To Orton
01:08:41Well it's catharsis
01:08:43Isn't it
01:08:43Everything Orton
01:08:44Has put Cody
01:08:44Through over the
01:08:45Past month or so
01:08:46Well here's your
01:08:47Reward viper
01:08:48Well I mentioned
01:08:49At the top of the
01:08:50Match rate
01:08:50At some point
01:08:51Everybody reaches
01:08:53That breaking point
01:08:54And we wondered
01:08:54If Cody
01:08:55Was going to reach
01:08:55It tonight
01:08:57Cody
01:08:59Beating the hell
01:09:00Out of Randy Orton
01:09:02Here
01:09:02And Randy Orton
01:09:03Just looking limp
01:09:06Cody's been through
01:09:07So much mentally
01:09:20And now dragging
01:09:21Randy Orton
01:09:22Up to the second
01:09:23Rope
01:09:23And Cody Rhodes
01:09:24Maybe about to
01:09:25Deliver
01:09:26Some of Randy's
01:09:27Own medicine
01:09:29Draghi DDT
01:09:31By Cody
01:09:33Well this will be
01:09:34An emphatic way
01:09:36To put down
01:09:38The viper for good
01:09:39This is a different
01:09:40Cody Rhodes tonight
01:09:47Randy talked about
01:09:48His legacy
01:09:49It's about Cody's
01:09:50Legacy as well
01:09:53A three time
01:09:54World champion
01:09:56And you feel
01:09:57If Cody can put
01:09:58Something on
01:09:59Orton here
01:10:00It really is
01:10:01Game over
01:10:02And Cody
01:10:04Wants to do it
01:10:04In style
01:10:05Now go
01:10:07And Al just
01:10:09Mocking Randy
01:10:15Randy slowly
01:10:17To his feet
01:10:18And Cody
01:10:19Sent into the corner
01:10:20Randy Orton
01:10:23Randy
01:10:26Crossroads
01:10:27To Cody
01:10:30Cody kicked out
01:10:32Or not close
01:10:33To a 15th world
01:10:35World championship
01:10:36Well a burst
01:10:37Of energy
01:10:38And a burst
01:10:40Of ideas
01:10:40At exactly
01:10:41The right time
01:10:42There from
01:10:43Randy Orton
01:10:44Simply transcendent
01:10:46From the viper
01:10:47Connecting
01:10:48Just when it
01:10:48Looked like it was
01:10:49Over
01:10:49With that crossroads
01:10:52And spinning
01:10:53Momentum
01:10:54Back in his favor
01:10:55But how quickly
01:10:56Can Orton
01:10:57Get back
01:10:58To being the viper
01:10:59How quickly
01:11:00Can he put a
01:11:02Stranglehold
01:11:03On this match
01:11:04Now he has
01:11:04The advantage
01:11:05Because Cody
01:11:06Has been rocked
01:11:08And now Orton
01:11:09Slithers into position
01:11:11Coiled
01:11:12And ready to strike
01:11:13Randy Orton
01:11:15Measuring Rhodes
01:11:16Went for the RKO
01:11:17Backslide by Cody
01:11:18Solders down
01:11:20Orton kicks out
01:11:22Got him
01:11:24RKO by Rhodes
01:11:26And Randy kicks out
01:11:28The most dangerous
01:11:31Three letters
01:11:32In all of wrestling
01:11:34But only
01:11:35When applied
01:11:36By the viper
01:11:37Warm backslide
01:11:39Immediately pounced upon
01:11:40With an RKO
01:11:42Delivered with panache
01:11:44But not delivered
01:11:46With enough
01:11:46To get the three count
01:11:49Randy
01:11:53Randy
01:11:54Randy
01:11:59It is crunch time
01:12:01In the outisputed
01:12:03WWE championship match
01:12:05Cody Rhodes
01:12:06The champion
01:12:06Randy Orton
01:12:08The busted open challenger
01:12:10Who just collapsed
01:12:11On the floor
01:12:11In front of us
01:12:12Cody the man
01:12:13Who has this industry
01:12:14Pumping through his veins
01:12:16The man who has
01:12:16Defended us
01:12:17Against all the insults
01:12:19From McAfee
01:12:20From all the attacks
01:12:21By Randy Orton
01:12:23Now looking
01:12:23To finish the job
01:12:25Randy Orton
01:12:26Took the low road
01:12:27While Cody Rhodes
01:12:28Happy to meet him there
01:12:29And now delivering
01:12:30Orton slammed
01:12:32To him as well
01:12:33And this is a
01:12:33Completely different
01:12:35Cody Rhodes
01:12:35The breaking point
01:12:37Has been reached
01:12:37For the champion
01:12:40It's Wrestlemania
01:12:41It's the main event
01:12:42The gold is on the line
01:12:44Against your current
01:12:45Most hated nemesis
01:12:47A man who tried
01:12:48To take from you
01:12:49Everything you hold dear
01:12:52I don't even know
01:12:53If Randy knows
01:12:54Where he's at
01:12:55Wade
01:12:57And he's won matches
01:12:58From that position
01:12:59Before though
01:13:00Cole
01:13:01No doubt
01:13:01He can never
01:13:02Write off the Viper
01:13:03Although
01:13:04That moment
01:13:05Is looking near
01:13:09Cody
01:13:10Measuring Orton
01:13:11RKO
01:13:12Out of nowhere
01:13:14Randy
01:13:15For a 15 world title
01:13:17Rhodes kicks out
01:13:19Well coiled
01:13:21Ready to strike
01:13:23Written off
01:13:24By the entire planet
01:13:26But still
01:13:27Venomous as ever
01:13:29But somehow
01:13:30It wasn't enough
01:13:31This is where
01:13:32It's game over
01:13:33For Orton
01:13:33Until it wasn't
01:13:35RKO connecting
01:13:36And
01:13:38Astoundingly
01:13:39A kick out
01:13:40From a broken
01:13:41Cody Rhodes
01:13:42And two men
01:13:45Who look
01:13:46Completely spent
01:13:47In this main event
01:13:49But someone
01:13:49Has to win this thing
01:13:54Orton spent
01:13:56Rhodes is spent
01:13:59The main event
01:14:00Of Wrestlemania
01:14:02Saturday
01:14:02Everything on the line
01:14:04The prestigious
01:14:05WWE championship
01:14:36Cody Rhodes
01:14:37Maybe getting
01:14:38In the upper hand
01:14:39Here
01:14:40Randy Orton
01:14:41Turns it around
01:14:42He's just
01:14:43Back in a slow fest
01:14:45The bigger man
01:14:45Unless that bigger man
01:14:47Is partially injured
01:14:48Or his opponent
01:14:50Pokes you in the eye
01:14:51And Rhodes
01:14:51To the eye
01:14:52RKO
01:14:53To the official
01:14:54Charles Robinson
01:14:56Well Randy was blinded
01:14:57I don't know
01:14:58If he even was aware
01:14:59That that was the official
01:15:02Cody
01:15:02Poked Orton in the eyes
01:15:04The official
01:15:05Didn't see it
01:15:07And now Randy Orton
01:15:09Stocking rose
01:15:10As he goes to his
01:15:11Longtime friend
01:15:12Charles Robinson
01:15:13Orton now
01:15:14From behind
01:15:17And Randy went to
01:15:19He was gonna go low
01:15:21Wasn't he
01:15:21And Cody went low
01:15:23On his own
01:15:23Poked to the eyes
01:15:25Low blow
01:15:26By Rhodes
01:15:27Will take this spot
01:15:29Wherever you want to
01:15:30Randy
01:15:31That's the message
01:15:32From Cody Rhodes
01:15:33Do what you gotta do
01:15:35The way this man
01:15:36Has been treated
01:15:37You can't blame him
01:15:42RKO
01:15:43By Orton
01:15:44Cody went for the
01:15:46Cody cutter
01:15:47Randy Orton
01:15:49With an RKO
01:15:49Out of nowhere
01:15:50And there's no official
01:15:56Oh Jesus
01:15:59What the hell
01:16:02Who never gave him
01:16:03A referee shirt
01:16:04Who made him
01:16:05A damn official
01:16:07Is this
01:16:08Is this legal
01:16:31There's no way this is legal
01:16:33Pat McAfee
01:16:35Apparently protected
01:16:36By higher rocks
01:16:37In TKO
01:16:38As has been alluded to
01:16:39On Smackdown
01:16:40The past couple of weeks
01:16:41Who knows
01:16:42At this point
01:16:43Cole
01:16:43Referee Charles Robinson
01:16:46Starting to come through
01:16:49Randy Orton
01:16:50Now
01:16:52RKO
01:16:52On the back of
01:16:53Faye
01:16:54Sit down
01:16:55Pat
01:16:56Put out another
01:16:57Death of Brace
01:16:58Crossroads
01:16:59Cover
01:17:00Cody returns
01:17:10The undisputed
01:17:12WWE Champion
01:17:15The American Nightmare
01:17:18Cody Rhodes
01:17:21The student
01:17:23Became the teacher
01:17:24Tonight
01:17:25Cody Rhodes
01:17:28With the killer instinct
01:17:31And that stupid
01:17:33Pat McAfee
01:17:34May have cost
01:17:35Orton
01:17:36An opportunity
01:17:37To win his
01:17:3815th world title
01:17:44Well this is a matchup
01:17:46That ended up
01:17:47Looking nothing
01:17:48Like any of us
01:17:50Anticipated
01:17:51And this is where
01:17:53Cody
01:17:53Put Randy in the eye
01:17:54Ref missed it
01:17:55Ref then
01:17:56Ate an RKO
01:17:59Randy
01:18:00Attempting the low blow
01:18:02Cody was wise to it
01:18:03Low blow
01:18:04Of his own
01:18:05And this is where
01:18:07Things really
01:18:08Took a crazy
01:18:10Crazy turn
