04:35Light it up the living night
04:37Like the diamonds are shining a glass
04:46Something about the light is magic I can't see
04:48Every time I'm talking about the image of the edge
04:52Feel my body but something
04:54And her opponent from Union City, New Jersey
04:59She is the Women's Intercontinental Champion AJ Lee
05:12Moments ago we saw Paige
05:15And now for the first time in 11 years at WrestleMania
05:20AJ Lee skips her way to the ring
05:28Okay, you saw Becky confronting the official Jessica Carr moments ago
05:33Go ahead
05:33I am absolutely furious
05:35Sorry to take the shine from this entrance of AJ Lee fans
05:39But I cannot fail to notice that the official who has been placed in charge of this championship matchup
05:47Is none other than Jessica Carr
05:50Jessica Fast Count Carr
05:53Who has been a major thorn in the side of the challenger Becky Lynch
05:57For the past 12 months costing us several matches
06:01And I'll tell you this right now Michael Cole
06:03There is zero chance Jessica Carr is going to be unbiased in this one
06:08It is a conspiracy, it is a scandal
06:11And this match tonight is brought to you by Wendy's
06:18Wendy's invented the spicy chicken sandwich
06:21And now they're reinventing it
06:23Making it crispier than ever before
06:25Wendy's spicy chicken
06:27We're so back
06:30AJ Lee defending the Intercontinental Championship against Becky Lynch
06:35And for Becky, there's really just one key strategy in this match tonight
06:40That is avoid the submission move known as the Black Widow
06:44They've met three times over the past seven months
06:48Three times, Becky is tapped out to the Black Widow
06:51Well, I'll half agree with you
06:54Yes, avoid the Black Widow at all costs because that is a guaranteed L
06:58The other half is avoid the biased refereeing decision of Jessica Fast Count
07:03How much is Becky paying you to keep up this propaganda to give her an out when she loses to
07:08AJ tonight?
07:09Doesn't have to pay me a penny, I speak the truth unlike you Michael Cole
07:1225 years plus of nonsense right here at WrestleMania, congratulations
07:17And this has become very personal between these two
07:19Becky Lynch revealing that her five-year-old daughter
07:23Her favorite wrestler AJ Lee
07:28Long-standing rival straddling a couple of eras as you mentioned
07:32But AJ has simply been kryptonite for Becky Lynch ever since returning
07:37Delivering multiple humiliations of a man
07:41And that humiliation may be complete with victory tonight
07:44Becky Lynch though, we cannot ignore her resume at WrestleMania
07:49One of the great resumes, four wins
07:51Tied for the most of all time in the women's division
07:54And Lynch from the office already coming unglued here
07:57But nice bit of power here from the Irish woman
08:00Yeah, suckering AJ Lee in
08:01Yes!
08:02Fall away slam into the barricade
08:04Well the first 30 seconds this match were an absolute disaster for Lynch
08:09Well that is an example right there of why she is permanently championship caliber
08:15Continues to make history does Becky Lynch
08:19WrestleMania 32 when she won the inaugural WWE Women's Championship
08:24Becky of course part of the main event first women's main event in WrestleMania history back at WrestleMania 35
08:30And now Lynch, what a leg drop off the top rope
08:33Cover now by Becky to win the title and a kick out by Lee
08:36Yeah you're not gonna put AJ Lee away that easily
08:40But certainly softening up the champ and doing some major damage from the off
08:45Gritting her teeth
08:46Well Becky's gotta be careful because the official Jessica Carr is
08:50It's a cheat
08:51Well not gonna take anything from Becky tonight
08:53And Becky now with a clothesline
08:56Very intense, very determined
08:57Becky with a big sploder
08:59Sending AJ to the center of the ring
09:01Calls to the cover
09:02For the leg
09:02On Lee
09:03Kick out at two
09:04Well it's been Becky Lynch's greatest hits in the first 90 seconds of this matchup
09:09And there is no relenting just pure hatred oozing out of the paws of Lynch
09:14Well Becky should be concentrating a bit more on AJ than Parky
09:18Well hold on
09:20Well AJ taking out the turn bucket pass
09:23Well what on earth is she doing now for that?
09:25That came back to bite her at the Elimination Chamber
09:28And she ended up regretting it and losing the match
09:32Screaming in the ear of Jessica Carr
09:34I'm not going to do
09:36I can't
09:37I can't
09:38I can't with you because you are absolutely insane you know that?
09:41You're absolutely insane
09:42You can't call a competitor that if you are a neutral official
09:46Just call the competitor insane
09:47Oh now AJ rolling up
09:49Becky may catch her here in a kick out at two
09:51Yeah nice distraction there from the referee Jessica Fast Count Carr
09:54Also didn't hear what Becky was screaming in the ear of Jessica either
09:58She was whispering
10:00There's no screaming one person was screaming and now completely turning this around after the impromptu insertion by the referee
10:07is AJ Lee
10:08AJ with a knee to the face and now a fight for the tornado DDT Becky center toward the middle
10:14of the ring
10:14AJ what a collision
10:16That was nasty catching the jaw of Becky Lynch
10:19And a collision like that normally does not behoove you to be the lighter competitor like AJ Lee is
10:25Clearly a diminutive individual
10:28And that sent shockwaves down the spine of the champ
10:31AJ Lee
10:32So nimble so slight
10:34Sliding underneath and taking Becky off her feet
10:37Feel like slowly but surely AJ Lee is getting a major foothold in this match after the early abuse that
10:44she took
10:46AJ
10:46Oh
10:46Missing dropkick
10:49Connecting
10:49Going to crawl toward the cover
10:51Looking to retain her Intercontinental Championship that she won
10:54Back at the Elimination Chamber event
10:56And I'll hand it all to AJ Lee
10:58So impressive since returning
11:00Completely undefeated since coming back
11:03The ring rust truly is off and she is simply getting better
11:06With each matchup and that is scary for the rest of the women's division
11:09And as AJ gets better Becky becomes more frustrated
11:12Might be going for that Black Widow there Cole
11:14And Becky was able to counter
11:16That's what you gotta do in the build up to this matchup
11:19Work on your counters for that one move on go
11:23Now Becky Lynch created some space AJ back to her feet
11:26Becky stunned now
11:27Went for the Shining Wizard
11:29Becky though able to pick her out of the air
11:32Stack it up the champion
11:33And a kick out
11:35Body of AJ Lee just bends in the strangest of ways
11:39Almost like a contortionist
11:41And clearly Lynch using that to her advantage on a highly tight stacked pin there
11:47There's over 50,000 here tonight in Las Vegas for WrestleMania Saturday
11:52Witnessing the Intercontinental Championship match between the champion who's in trouble
11:56AJ Lee and the former champ Becky Lynch
12:01Permanent snarl etched on the face of Becky Lynch here
12:04Who's got a real number on the champ thus far
12:07Looking for the manhandle slam
12:08And AJ Lee turns it into an arm drag
12:12And a kick now to the back of the neck
12:14It's that speed, that pace of AJ Lee that really is the difference maker here
12:18Oh god, oh god
12:20And Becky Lynch swings her into the second rope
12:24Great counter by Becky
12:25And that's what fight camp has been all about for Becky Lynch
12:29That one move, that's been the problem
12:30And now the manhandle slam
12:32Becky Lynch to win the Intercontinental title
12:35AJ Lee just got the shoulder up
12:40Is that shock or is that fury in the eyes of Becky Lynch
12:45Because she thought she had this one
12:46What an amazing reversal out of that Black Widow there
12:49The neck of AJ Lee surgically repaired
12:52Catching that middle rope
12:54Followed up with this manhandle slam
12:56And it should have been over
12:58But the resilience of AJ Lee coming to the fore
13:02Yeah, just angering Becky Lynch
13:03As she sends AJ in the corner
13:05Now stomping away
13:06Got to be careful she doesn't get disqualified here
13:08Yeah, especially when you never know the referee's count cadence
13:11Well, she better get out of Jessica Carr's face
13:13I mean, I respect Carr for letting things go in this match
13:18Being a championship match
13:19But she's had enough
13:24Okay
13:25Well, turnabout's fair play
13:30Can't say Becky didn't deserve that
13:32Technically it could have been a disqualification there for Becky Lynch
13:36And AJ Lee with a manhandle slam of her own
13:39Cover by AJ
13:40Stacks her up
13:41Over kick out at toe
13:43Millisecond away from victory for the champ AJ Lee
13:47Thought she had it in the back
13:49After a major distraction once again
13:52Becky Lynch not focused on her opponent
13:54Simply focusing on the referee
13:56And she went after the official
13:58Jessica Carr ducked underneath
14:00And it allowed AJ to strike
14:03And it really is up for grabs now
14:05Both women laid out
14:07Both women have dropped major shots on their opponent
14:10But their opponent has been equal to it
14:13But you sense the end is inching closer
14:16AJ right hand
14:18Becky delivers one of her own
14:20And another
14:24Slugfest continues
14:29And then a slugfest
14:30I'm backing the bigger more powerful athlete
14:33In this case
14:34AJ Lee in the black widow
14:39Will Becky Lynch count for a fourth time?
14:42Oh God
14:43Getting towards those ropes
14:45Getting inching
14:45Inching closer
14:46Trying to grab the rope to force a break
14:48And I think she had a handful of hair
14:51Which caused AJ Lee to slip onto the holes
14:54Managed to navigate out of there somehow
14:56Wait a second
14:57That turnbuckle just fell off in the hands of Becky Lynch
15:01I don't think anyone
15:03Pulling the official in front of her
15:06And now sending AJ Lee
15:08Into the exposed steel turnbuckle
15:11And now a man
15:12A slam
15:13Jessica Carr
15:14Had no idea what happened
15:16And Becky Lynch
15:17Is a three time
15:18Intercontinental Champion
15:20Here is your winner
15:22And new
15:24Women's
15:26Intercontinental Champion
15:28The Man
15:31The Man
15:33Becky Lynch
15:36While all is well in the world
15:40Not only did Becky Lynch thwart the biased refereeing of Jessica Carr
15:46She finally
15:48Finally defeated her kryptonite AJ Lee
15:52And now is shining with the gold
15:55Well this is where it almost went wrong for Becky Lynch
15:58Getting into a shoving match
16:00With the official walking a dangerous line here
16:03Potential disqualification
16:05But to be fair was let go
16:07But immediately there
16:08On the offense
16:10Was AJ Lee
16:12With a manhandled slam of her own
16:13And a late late kick out
16:15But this is pivotal here
16:16The Black Widow escape
16:18Apparently pulling the hair of AJ Lee
16:21That the referee did not quite catch
16:24But immediately following that up
16:26With some underhanded tactics
16:28Removing that turnbuckle
16:30Pulling the ref in the way
16:31Referee got sandwiched
16:33As she backed out
16:34Unbeknownst to the ref
16:36Head first
16:37Into the steel
16:38When AJ Lee
16:39And followed off
16:40One manhandled slam later
16:43We got a new
16:44Intercontinental champ
16:45And it's them
16:50Becky Lynch
16:52Once again
16:54On top of the world
17:03I mean AJ Lee
17:04Obviously disappointed
17:05But she can't be upset
17:08At the way she lost that match
17:09Only because Becky Lynch
17:10Exposed the steel

20:45The following contest is straight to 4-1 goal
20:49Introducing first, from Vienna, Austria
20:54We gain her 250 pounds
20:58The Ring General, Gunther
21:03Well, Gunther has a lot to prove tonight
21:08He does not have a great track record
21:10When it comes to WrestleMania
21:12Two of the biggest upsets in WrestleMania history
21:16Happened to him
21:18666 day reign as Intercontinental Champion
21:21Ended by Sami Zayn
21:23His reign as World Champion
21:24Ended last year by Main Event Jey Uso
21:27So I saw the kickoff show yesterday
21:30And Gunther very specifically told you, Michael Cole
21:33To shut up
21:35Now that Gunther is in earshot
21:37I suggest you heed his advice
21:39Okay, so he's the career killer
21:41He's ended the careers of Goldberg
21:42And John Cena
21:43And AJ Styles
21:45Would love to do that to Rollins tonight
21:48We'll get into that story in a moment
21:52And this match is presented by
21:54The General Insurance
21:56The General Insurance gives you a break
21:58When you need it most
22:01Hence the ring in general
22:11Burn it down!
22:39Burn it down!
22:43Burn it down!
22:45Burn it down!
22:50And his opponent
22:53From Davenport, Iowa
22:56Weье
22:57Ver 225 lbs
23:01Seth
23:02Braykin
23:05Rollins!
23:07Burn it down!
23:28Looks like a villain out of the Game of Thrones.
23:31Seth Rollins entering his 15th Wrestlemania like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
24:28Uh-oh.
24:29Uh-oh.
24:29And here we go.
24:31Wasted little time.
24:32Gunther and Rollins.
24:33And Gunther who wants to damage and destroy Rollins here tonight.
24:38Seth Rollins who missed months and months due to a shoulder injury.
24:42Hasn't had a match in months.
24:44He's medically cleared but there's no way he's 100%.
24:48I mean back in after six months out with the pressure of WrestleMania against a career killer like Gunther.
24:56No thank you.
24:57And I'll say right now Seth Rollins really is this generation's Mr. WrestleMania.
25:03The guy who does it time and time again while this might even be too steep a hill for him
25:08to climb.
25:10Thumbs to the eyes.
25:12And for those of you who are expecting a five-star wrestling match tonight folks.
25:15I don't think you're gonna get it.
25:17This is a brawl.
25:18This is a fight.
25:19Rollins and Gunther.
25:20Rollins wearing Gunther out.
25:22And the problem in a fight is you cannot dictate the pace.
25:25And if you've been out of action for six months, it is a dangerous game to be playing.
25:31But Rollins here completely unglued.
25:34And Rollins is not forgetting that Gunther, that Gunther put himself into WrestleMania by attacking Rollins from behind.
25:44As Rollins was about to take out Paul Heyman.
25:47Yes he did and what does Gunther get for that?
25:49He is owed a favor by Paul Heyman but it better be a damn good favor considering the beating he's
25:56getting from Rollins here.
25:58Wayne when is the last time you've seen Seth like this, and Seth like this, upset like this.
26:04Well not only has Seth been victim of relentless attacks in the preceding weeks to WrestleMania from Gunther,
26:11he's also been diverted out of the way of his major mission.
26:15So Gunther, you're gonna take the blows for now and eventually Seth hopes he'll get back to Paul Heyman et
26:22al.
26:22Gunther just trying to regroup.
26:26Senior official Chad Patton with his hands full in this matchup and the fight's gonna continue.
26:32And finally we're underway as for any reason we did not get a disqualification for those chair shots moments ago.
26:40And there, big chop by Gunther, Seth Rollins with a boot.
26:45Chop to the Adam's apple that just bounced off Seth Rollins who as you say is so incensed, so irate
26:53and so motivated to cut Gunther down easier said than Duff.
26:58And now Gunther looking to take control, sleep or hold, that's taken out so many men here.
27:05Think about AJ Styles, think about John Cena.
27:10And now, hold for the German suplex, Seth able to land, bit awkwardly but still landed on his feet.
27:18Always worried when you see Seth land like that because of the history of knee injuries.
27:22I mean you have the kind of career Seth Rollins has had.
27:24You're gonna have a lot of injuries racking from top, from head to toe.
27:30Right now bouncing past everything Gunther throws at him and now these stomps just...
27:35Speaking of stomp, Rollins going for one and he ran into a clothesline.
27:41Wade, this is not what I expected in this match.
27:45I don't think anyone would have expected this knowing full well these are two technicians.
27:50However, clearly bad blood coming to a boil here and Gunther's game plan from the off was to make this
27:57as fast-paced as possible.
27:59Test the cardio conditioning of Seth Rollins who's been out of commission for six months.
28:04Well, Seth passed the early test but can he dig deep enough to show some major durability here?
28:10Well, Gunther tried to get the upper hand early and all it did was enrage Rollins.
28:14But now Gunther has slowed the pace to where he likes it.
28:18That methodical beat down of your opponent.
28:23Gunther is just disciplined and he's driven traditionalist and this is more in the wheelhouse of Gunther right now.
28:31Gunther thrives on predictability, does his homework, preps like a machine.
28:36Seth has to throw some curve balls at Gunther if he's gonna have any chance from this point.
28:43Do something Gunther has not strategized for but first of all you've got to get from beneath the boots of
28:49the ring general.
28:50And it's interesting that Gunther brought up the fact that these two men had one match seven years ago.
28:57Nothing was concluded in that match up and it's been bothering Gunther ever since.
29:02He claims that Rollins has been dodging him.
29:06Says he's hated Rollins for years, takes issue with the fact that many call Rollins the best bell to bell
29:12on the planet.
29:12Well, he's got eight wins in WrestleMania history, does Seth Rollins over the likes of Brock Lesnar, Triple H.
29:20Remember, the heist of the century, the cash in of the Money in the Bank contract at WrestleMania 31.
29:26You can take nothing away from the career of Seth Freak and Rollins, one of the best to ever pull
29:31on a pair of boots.
29:32But when you talk about the best bell to bell in Gunther's mind, that distinction belongs exclusively to him.
29:40Well, it may be exclusively to Gunther now.
29:43One of the things he wants to prove in this match tonight.
29:51Rollins fighting back.
29:54Chop right to the back.
29:59Bouncing Rollins off the turnbuckle.
30:01And Rollins all of a sudden looks like somebody who has been on the shelf for the past six months
30:06and is trying to come back at the very top.
30:09No warm-up matches.
30:11No easing your way back into this.
30:14Simply the brightest of spotlights.
30:16The biggest pressure on against this man-mountain.
30:19The ring general.
30:22Gunther now has Seth in trouble.
30:25Rollins near the top rope.
30:31Gunther looking to hook Rollins into a position perhaps.
30:36Deadlift.
30:37No, Rollins able to slip out from behind.
30:40And now Seth Rollins.
30:43Gunther's in big trouble now.
30:50And Rollins with the buckle bar.
30:54And Gunther just isn't used to being thrown around like that.
30:58Position for a stop.
31:00Gunther once again out of harm's way.
31:01Delivers a release German suplex to Rollins.
31:03Who ends up on his feet.
31:05Sends Gunther into the ropes German suplex of his own.
31:08And a clothesline stops Rollins in his tracks back up to his feet.
31:12And one of his own.
31:14Rollins is possessed tonight.
31:16Yeah, one of the embers were burning inside Rollins.
31:19Just enough to throw one big lariat of his own.
31:22This was after this impressive buckle bomb.
31:26From Seth Rollins dropped with a massive swinging clothesline.
31:29But hey, I got some of that too, Gunther.
31:32Both men now laid out.
31:34It is an incredible scene tonight with over 50,000 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas
31:42for WrestleMania Saturday.
31:45Seth Rollins and Gunther squaring off.
31:51And I'll tell you right now, I thought Seth Rollins was gonna be toast by now.
31:55Especially given the frenetic pace of this one from the off.
32:00But the fact that Gunther is the one who's laid out.
32:02And Seth is the one who looks closest to being recovered.
32:07Is absolutely stunning.
32:09And Gunther with a kick right across the face.
32:12And another one by the ring general.
32:13Rollins follows it up with a running forearm.
32:17I mean, we talked about this not being a five-star classic.
32:20It's simply being a dogfight from the word go.
32:24Not looking to show off their range.
32:26Not looking to show off their scientific skills.
32:29Just looking to beat the other man into submission.
32:34Gunther just has a massive chip on his shoulder.
32:37Rollins upset with the way that this matchup came about.
32:42And Gunther's done a really nice job of slowing Rollins down.
32:46That was always gonna be the big threat for Gunther.
32:49The movement.
32:50The agility of Seth freaking Rollins.
32:53Well, we just haven't seen enough of that so far from Rollins.
32:57And that's because Gunther has backed him into a corner.
33:03Loves to trash talk.
33:05Loves to bully his opponent.
33:07Bones with a headbutt of his own.
33:08Now he's gonna fight out of the corner.
33:10Chop after chop after chop by Rollins.
33:12Rollins taking the fight to Gunther.
33:13Well, Rollins just has that fiery daredevil spirit.
33:17When you push him too far, he's gonna snap.
33:20And now we see that.
33:21Well, Gunther may snap too.
33:22Hooks Rollins.
33:24Stacks him up.
33:25Kick out by Rollins.
33:27See how quick Gunther is?
33:29Yeah.
33:29Rollins momentarily glanced at the official.
33:32And it allowed Gunther to do this.
33:34Yeah, two things, speed of mind.
33:36And on top of that, just a sheer power, explosive advantage over Rollins.
33:42And Gunther needs to do more of that if he's gonna get the win here.
33:45Well, Seth Rollins, we've learned over many years.
33:48Part of a lion, tremendous resilience.
33:52No doubt about it.
33:53But I'm gonna give some credit to Gunther here.
33:55Look at the names he's retired over the past 12 months.
33:58And look at who he targeted for this WrestleMania.
34:02Gunther doesn't care about the also Rams in this game.
34:06If you're not A+, Gunther doesn't want you.
34:09He wants the best every single time.
34:11Well, and Gunther's made a point set with a list of injuries over his career.
34:16He said, maybe you're suffering another one tonight.
34:18Maybe I end your career.
34:21I mean, that is one way to build a terrifying reputation for yourself.
34:27And growing by the month is Gunther's rep.
34:34I mean, no matter what you think about the man, I mean, best in the world inside the ring.
34:41That's all I'm gonna say now.
34:43I've said it on a number of occasions.
34:44Yeah, he's the yardstick for the current era in ring.
34:49Unsurpassed in all areas of MAAC competition.
34:53And doesn't he know it?
34:55Looks in the best shape of his life.
34:59He's completely match-up proof.
35:01I don't care your style.
35:02High flyer, power, technical.
35:04I'm gonna beat ya.
35:05Seth Rollins though.
35:06Seth able to turn things around.
35:08He hooks Gunther.
35:09And a backdrop.
35:10Look for the pedigree.
35:11And Gunther able to counter.
35:12And a big super kick by Rollins.
35:15Drops Gunther to an A.
35:16Seth looking for the stop hook.
35:17Caught him with an A.
35:18Seth caught him with an A.
35:19And this is that pace that's so crucial for Seth Rollins against someone like Gunther.
35:23Sack a buy of the Jerry.
35:25Denied again.
35:27What a unique reversal.
35:29Shoulders are down and Rollins has got a bridge out.
35:32But he's still got Gunther in position for the pedigree, which he finally hits.
35:37Gunther tried his best to get out of it.
35:39Didn't get a full pedigree there, but got enough.
35:42Stop to Gunther.
35:44Cover by Rollins.
35:47Gunther kicks out at two.
35:49Goal!
35:51And that's right there.
35:54Might be the moment Seth Hopes got a hell in a handbasket.
35:58Not only a pedigree, albeit not flush.
36:01That stomp was as flush as they get.
36:05And Gunther, there's something inside that human being that is simply abnormal.
36:11Kicking out from that level of offense.
36:13These two men physically exhausted, physically beaten in a match that went from 0 to 10 immediately.
36:23And there's that doubt in the eyes of the architect Seth Rollins.
36:27I gave him two of my best.
36:29He should be over.
36:30I should be home and dry.
36:32Grabbing that knee I just noticed there.
36:34That right knee is Seth Rollins that has caused major problems throughout his career.
36:39Yeah, we saw him come down on it a bit awkwardly early on in the matchup.
36:43Now Gunther, back to his feet.
36:44Is Seth Rollins going to watch himself?
36:46Oh no, right on the knee.
36:47Yeah, went for a big stomp there.
36:49And Gunther was able to move out of harm's way.
36:51Rollins rolls him up, stacks him up, shoulders down.
36:53Gunther kicks out into a sleeper.
36:55Great counter by Gunther.
36:57Into a sleeper.
36:58Magnificent counter by the ring general.
37:00Unlocks sensor at the ring a million miles from any rope.
37:05Way out of reach here for Seth Rollins.
37:07And that is a bigger, stronger athlete pinning him in position.
37:11What a spectacular counter by Gunther into the sleeper.
37:15Rollins trying to hang on.
37:17Trying to create space.
37:18Trying to create separation.
37:20Trying to make it back to his feet.
37:21Rollins now back to a vertical base.
37:24And that is free kicks from Seth freaking Rollins with that voice like grip now being prized away.
37:30And Rollins is out of the sleeper.
37:32Boom!
37:33Big discus punched by Rollins.
37:38And another!
37:40Two men running on fumes here.
37:42Someone's about to drop here, Cole.
37:45Gunther, what a clothesline!
37:47Did you hear that?
37:49Oh no, just when Seth Rollins had the wind in his sails.
37:55And it looks like Gunther's ready to take flight.
37:57And it might not be of his own volition.
37:59And now Rollins hooking Gunther.
38:03Superplex!
38:05Vintage Rollins, ladies and gentlemen!
38:08Falcon Arrow!
38:12Gunther kicks out!
38:14And now Rollins with a sleeper!
38:16Rollins with a sleeper!
38:17Out of the frying pan, into the firing.
38:20Gunther might be about to fall on his own sword.
38:23Is Gunther gonna tap out again at WrestleMania?
38:27Is Gunther gonna tap again at WrestleMania?
38:30Gunther's fading here!
38:32Gunther's fading!
38:33Whoa!
38:34And he gets his foot on the bottom rope!
38:38We talk about it time and again!
38:40That huge frame of Gunther!
38:42What an advantage it was there!
38:45And Rollins, now he's gotta be questioning himself.
38:47What does he do at this point?
38:48I mean, he's thrown everything but the kitchen sink at Gunther
38:52and one way or another, Gunther lives on.
38:55And Gunther is living dangerously here, but living he is.
39:00I don't think Gunther has any clue where he's at right now.
39:02Struggling to even maintain a vertical base on the momentum back with Seth Rollins
39:09and the belief is there!
39:25Rollins, suicide dive, takes out Gunther!
39:28And I don't think Seth's done yet!
39:32And another one!
39:34Gunther's in trouble!
39:36You get Gunther in a position like this, you have to be relentless!
39:41Keep the pedal to the metal, Seth!
39:44Another suicide dive!
39:46Gunther now!
39:47In with the Hulk Rollins!
39:49Powerbomb on the apron!
39:50Kidney first!
39:53Powerbomb on the table!
39:55Absolutely no give whatsoever!
39:58And Gunther is not finished there!
40:05Oh God, this is getting ugly!
40:07Referee keeping a very close eye on this as the count goes up!
40:11Gunther with Rollins up top!
40:13Turns it around!
40:14Reversal by Seth!
40:17Pedagree!
40:17On the table!
40:19And that might be a knockout of Gunther!
40:25And Seth Rollins desperately needs to get the body of Gunther back!
40:29What the hell is Seth doing over here?
40:31He's not finished yet!
40:32He knows Gunther is an absolute freak!
40:35Oh God!
40:35Oh no, he's gonna go for a massive stop!
40:37Oh my God!
40:38Oh my God!
40:38Rollins looking for a massive stop!
40:40Gunther has no idea what's going on!
40:43Stopped by Rollins!
40:45On the announce table!
40:46Oh that was horrific!
40:49Gunther beaten and busted!
40:51Well the referee really needs to check on Gunther here!
40:54Because Gunther is an absolute mess on ringside!
40:58What a match!
40:59A pedigree!
41:01A spike!
41:01Oh my God!
41:03Broadbreaker!
41:04Broadbreaker!
41:05With a spear!
41:06A spear to Rollins!
41:15The vision's Broadbreaker!
41:17The man who kicked Rollins out of the vision!
41:20The man who's been out with a major injury over the past couple of months!
41:25Well he's back to Horn Rollins!
41:28Breaker broke Rollins in half!
41:31Gunther meanwhile dragging himself to his feet!
41:35And the referee missed the whole thing checking understandably on Gunther who is staggering back!
41:44Rollins staring back at his nemesis!
41:47He better turn around!
41:49Gunther!
41:50Back into play!
41:51With a sleeper!
41:52Roughing the legs around the body of Rollins!
41:56Rollins who can barely breathe after the spear!
42:00Well this is like taking candy from a baby for Gunther here!
42:04A severely weakened Rollins after that spear from the head case breaker!
42:09Rollins is fading!
42:11Gunther's got it locked in!
42:13Gunther's got it locked in!
42:13Seth Rollins may be out!
42:16I think he's out there too!
42:18Rollins is out!
42:20Gunther wins!
42:25Here is your winner!
42:27The ring general!
42:30Gunther!
42:32That was an incredible match!
42:34That was absolutely incredible!
42:36Before Broadbreaker came from out of nowhere to end Rollins' WrestleMania dream!
42:44Well however you need to get the job done at WrestleMania you do it!
42:50I have no idea if Gunther has any clue that Broadbreaker even came down after he's laid out on this
42:56desk!
42:57Take another look at this!
42:59The closing moments of the match!
43:01Gunther taking command!
43:03Kidney first into that ring apron!
43:06Following up with a powerbomb on our desk!
43:09But then it turned around in a hurry!
43:11Pedigree!
43:12Head first!
43:13Onto the announce desk with no give!
43:15Followed up by this stop!
43:17Sickening!
43:18Skull first!
43:20Bouncing off the steel desk!
43:21And then with the referee otherwise engaged!
43:24Out of nowhere!
43:25The shocking return!
43:27Of Braun Breaker spearing Seth Rollins to hell!
43:32And then the inevitable!
43:33The squeeze!
43:34The sleeper!
43:35Rollins is out!
43:37Gunther!
43:37Your victor!
43:41Rollins the man who formed the vision!
43:44In his vision!
43:46Only to be kicked out of the group last fall!
43:49Led by that man!
43:51The unpredictable badass!
43:53Braun Breaker!
44:00Braun Breaker!
44:01Braun Breaker!
44:02Braun Breaker!
44:02Breakneck speed!
44:03Down the ramp!
44:04Rollins is defenseless!
44:20Hell!
44:22You should have put P.E.T. down when you had the change!
44:37well 23 miles an hour top speed down the ramp all directed on the midsection of Seth
44:46freaking Rollins that is a warning stay well away from the vision set because there's plenty
44:53more where that came from a lock who's looking unapprovingly the oracle of the vision Paul Heyman
45:08a man who hitches his wagon for the next hottest thing in this industry and it would be a fool
45:16to deny that that man is gone from bad to very worse for Seth Rollins
