00:00:00Who are gonna follow up on this breaking news story tonight on the post show.
00:00:05It happens immediately following the main event here at WrestleMania.
00:00:10Also on the post show, Obafemi, of course, the new United States Champion Trick
00:00:14Williams, the new WWE Women's Champion Rhea Ripley, and
00:00:17of course the Intercontinental Champion Penta, all part of the post show here tonight.
00:00:31What a moment with Brock Lesnar and Obafemi earlier.
00:00:34This WrestleMania night has been packed with moments.
00:00:40This WrestleMania night is also packed with people.
00:00:44It is officially time to announce tonight's attendance.
00:00:51The official attendance for night two is 55,255.
00:01:00Which makes the overall weekend attendance 106,072.
00:01:25There is a reason.
00:01:27This is the greatest spectacle in sports entertainment.
00:01:30Now this is a bittersweet moment for me because that officially concludes my duties as your host.
00:01:39I can't tell you how much it means to me to be here.
00:01:43I wanted to take a second to give you a heartfelt thank you.
00:01:49No, no, no, no.
00:01:53You're not gonna give them some heartfelt moments.
00:01:58You left a hole in their heart that I have had to fill.
00:02:02I am the locker room leader now.
00:02:06I am teaching all of them my three core values of master, inspire, zone in.
00:02:17I didn't get my WrestleMania moment last year.
00:02:23And I am not leaving this ring until I get my WrestleMania moment here at WrestleMania 42.
00:02:36Mike, good to see you.
00:02:39I am.
00:02:40I am.
00:02:40Sorry, you are?
00:02:41I am.
00:02:43John Cena, how you doing?
00:02:45WrestleMania host.
00:02:46What I am hearing is you want a WrestleMania moment?
00:02:49Yeah.
00:02:50Fine.
00:02:51Go.
00:02:53You got it.
00:02:55Well, thank you.
00:02:56We got history.
00:02:57Watch and learn, Cena.
00:02:59Buckle up, Vegas.
00:03:01He's hot.
00:03:02Oh, no.
00:03:03Oh, no.
00:03:10He's a little weirdo.
00:03:14He's the weirdo.
00:03:15Wait.
00:03:18Oh, my goodness.
00:03:20What is happening?
00:03:22They're little Dan Housens.
00:03:23Dan Housens has midgets.
00:03:25What?
00:03:26And before all you guys get mad at me on social media, this group asked us to call them that.
00:03:31Midgets.
00:03:31You knew about this?
00:03:33Oh, yeah, I did.
00:03:34Get security and get them stuffed.
00:03:36And look at Dan Housen driving the Dan Housen-mobile.
00:03:41That's like the Scooby-Doo van, but in Dan Housen style.
00:03:46This guy gives me the creeps.
00:03:53How could you not like Dan Housen?
00:03:55Very, very easily, as a matter of fact, this weird little theater kid.
00:04:01Look at these guys.
00:04:02Look at them go.
00:04:03I don't like looking at them.
00:04:06Wait a minute.
00:04:07Is that another one?
00:04:08Oh, no.
00:04:08That's Stewie the cameraman.
00:04:09Sorry.
00:04:12This is an absolute farce of a spectacle ruining the greatest show of the year.
00:04:20Wait a minute.
00:04:21Dan Housen is a flip flying around this stadium.
00:04:24Well, get me-
00:04:25He's obviously over.
00:04:26Get me a BB gun.
00:04:27I want that thing taken down at post haste.
00:04:34This may be the greatest WrestleMania moment ever.
00:04:37I mean, ever.
00:04:38Well, quite simply, the complete opposite of that is true.
00:04:41The most disastrous-
00:04:43Hey, guys!
00:04:44What's up?
00:04:45How are you?
00:04:46Stay away from me.
00:04:47Get away from the desk.
00:04:48Shoot!
00:04:49Man, I wish Regal was here.
00:05:05How old are they?
00:05:0755.
00:05:11Grubby little fingers.
00:05:13That's not very nice.
00:05:16Here we go.
00:05:18Come on.
00:05:19Kiss.
00:05:20Damn!
00:05:22Thank you, Cameraboy Nicholas.
00:05:25Thank you, Cameraboy Nicholas.
00:05:27That's not very nice.
00:05:27Thank you, Cameraboy Nicholas.
00:05:27Thank you, Cameraboy Nicholas.
00:05:34What the hell was that noise?
00:05:36Greetings, humans.
00:05:41I am Dan Housen.
00:05:45Very nice, very evil.
00:05:49And I have finally made it to WrestleMania Housen.
00:06:00Speaking of which, I've got something to say to you.
00:06:12Pardon, pardon, excuse me.
00:06:17Huge fan, how's it, love everything you do?
00:06:21Don't shake his hand.
00:06:24He is sitting in here with two goats and a soon-to-be goat.
00:06:28And he is turning a WrestleMania 42 into a circus.
00:06:32If I wanted to see Wizard of Oz, I would have went down the street.
00:06:39What the hell are you looking at?
00:06:46Kit, you are toxic.
00:06:50Yes.
00:06:51Oh, come on.
00:06:52Yeah, that's more like it.
00:06:55But it's all legal.
00:06:56You said they were 55.
00:06:57Don't touch him.
00:06:58What are you gonna do about it?
00:07:00Oh.
00:07:02Famous Davis, get him.
00:07:07Oh, yeah.
00:07:08That's illegal.
00:07:17Here we go.
00:07:18He punched him in the ground, Jules.
00:07:21And Miz now, Miz is irate.
00:07:23He's tossing these guys all over the ring.
00:07:25Oh, these toxic little twerps.
00:07:26Oh, look it, right in front of us.
00:07:28Kent Wilson's getting mugged.
00:07:29He's getting swarmed.
00:07:30Now, wait a second.
00:07:32And now, Dan Housen.
00:07:34Are you encouraging this?
00:07:36Well, I am.
00:07:37Miz wanted to renew his vows.
00:07:38Dan Housen messed it up.
00:07:39And now, Miz can't have kids anymore.
00:07:41You punched him in the meat and two veg.
00:07:51I think it's gonna be the five knuckle shuffle, Housen.
00:07:58I told you this was gonna turn into a farce.
00:08:04Miz, I'm melting.
00:08:06I'm melting.
00:08:08I'm melting.
00:08:12I'm melting.
00:08:14My goodness.
00:08:23Leave.
00:08:32Yeah, you filled us all that, pal.
00:08:35And then the midgets on the other side are going-
00:08:38The lights are supposed to go out before they run into the ring.
00:08:41Isn't that how the gag works?
00:08:44Great job lighting, guys.
00:08:46That is great.
00:08:47Yeah, it works.
00:08:51Retired life is awesome.
00:08:55WrestleMania is unexpected, huh?
00:08:59It's also the grandest stage of them all.
00:09:02And there is no showcase bigger than our next.
00:09:08Because next up is your main event.
00:09:16Enjoy.
00:09:17That's it.
00:09:25Oh!
00:09:27Oh!
00:09:27I'm excited 40W Banks.
00:09:29We're...
00:09:30What's world that a lot of stars.
00:09:37Oh!
00:09:42Ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, our main event.
00:09:56This is greatness on a different level.
00:10:00Roman Reigns is going to WrestleMania.
00:10:09What I'm doing is chasing something, and that something is greatness.
00:10:15With that comes a responsibility, a wear in the crown.
00:10:22I'm picking you because I hate you.
00:10:27I've always hated you.
00:10:30You're in the main event of WrestleMania, not just because you won the Royal Rumble,
00:10:35but because I am the main event of WrestleMania.
00:10:42Shield.
00:10:43I brought you to the dance.
00:10:46You brought the other two, not me.
00:10:50You took a 10-year vacation, and then I let you back here, and what do you do?
00:10:55You screw me.
00:10:55You take my wise man, and you almost brainwashed me.
00:11:06I'm in your head.
00:11:07For a champion, I can see right through you.
00:11:10You got thin skin.
00:11:11He's got time to tweak, but he doesn't have time to come to Chicago.
00:11:15You mock me in my back like I'm some little young boy.
00:11:18Young boy, who's the real tribal chief?
00:11:21I mean, come on with that garbage.
00:11:22Roman can't do anything without his cousins.
00:11:25We're the only reason this place is where it's at.
00:11:28This is my show.
00:11:29That title on your waist, it's an embarrassment, because at the end of the day,
00:11:37you're old.
00:11:40Now I'm going to bury you.
00:11:43Bury you next to your father.
00:11:48I'd watch how you talk about my family.
00:11:58We didn't bring you back to be champion.
00:12:01No.
00:12:01I understand why this company sends your beltless ass to Jimmy Fallon.
00:12:07Because I'm a way bigger star than you.
00:12:10It's because you're safe, and you're boring, and you're plastic.
00:12:19Mania, this backup plan, it ends.
00:12:24Take a look at that sign.
00:12:25It's the last time you're going to main event.
00:12:28Oh, that's it.
00:12:30Oh, that's it.
00:12:31Oh, that's it.
00:12:32Oh, that's it.
00:12:37Welcome to my main event.
00:12:42There's one way WrestleMania ends.
00:12:46The tribal chief takes back over.
00:12:49And new.
00:12:51And still.
00:12:51World champion.
00:12:53You will acknowledge the best in the world.
00:13:03Acknowledge me.
00:13:13Ladies and gentlemen, up next,
00:13:15what is being called one of the greatest main events in WrestleMania history.
00:13:20Roman Reigns versus CM Punk.
00:13:23All right, wrestling fans, we got something exciting for you.
00:13:25A special look at one of the most anticipated movies of the year.
00:13:29Street Fighter.
00:13:30Coming to theaters this October.
00:13:32Check it out.
00:13:37Gathered here are the world's best fighters.
00:13:41I won't deny I'm a Street Fighter.
00:13:44But only one of which will be crowned the world champion of Street Fighter.
00:13:49Three, two, one.
00:13:51Fight.
00:13:53You win.
00:13:54Perfect.
00:14:00This tournament is not what it seems.
00:14:03We have to be ready.
00:14:15Boom.
00:14:22I'm positive that a fireball came out of Ryu.
00:14:27A thousand.
00:14:31Perfect.
00:14:39What in the world are you thinking?
00:14:44Mean Gene, the first thing you need to do is to tell these people to shut up if you want
00:14:49to hear what I got to say.
00:14:52And then it got evil in there, man.
00:14:55As soon as I saw Mean Gene's nose get split open and I plugged into that crowd, my mindset is
00:15:01to screw the audience.
00:15:02All this crap in the ring represents these fans out here.
00:15:07I did everything for the charities, I did everything for the kids and the reception I got when I came
00:15:16out here.
00:15:17You fans can stick it, brother.
00:15:20I think deep down aside, there's parts of him that just wanted to let people know what he really thought.
00:15:24It felt great and there was so much heat.
00:15:28It was incredible.
00:15:30I looked at people in the eyes that were five feet away from me and they wanted to kill me.
00:15:34They had blood just coming out of their eyeballs.
00:15:36They were so mad at me.
00:15:37I knew I could just rule, I could rule the business.
00:15:41This right here is the future of wrestling.
00:15:45You can call this the new world order of wrestling, brother.
00:15:52What you gonna do?
00:15:53What are you gonna do?
00:15:54Don't touch me, I'm gonna free the lawyers.
00:15:57Yeah, I remember him sitting me down saying like, you know, all the red and yellow stuff, the good guy
00:16:02stuff, that's out the window.
00:16:03I'm gonna be a bad guy now.
00:16:05Here we go.
00:16:06Everybody see that?
00:16:07Yeah.
00:16:09I thought he was crazy.
00:16:11Hulk doesn't work anymore.
00:16:13He said, where's my black boots?
00:16:15Do I have any black patent leather boots?
00:16:16I have to go see if I have black boots.
00:16:18So I go in his closet and I'm like digging around.
00:16:20I'm like these, they're like 100 years old from like 1965.
00:16:23He's like, yeah, those.
00:16:25You better get going.
00:16:26I'm going, I'm right on time, I've got two hours.
00:16:29I give him a pair of my black leggings.
00:16:30He's like, yeah, that's it.
00:16:32Puts the belt around him, I'm like, yeah, that's it.
00:16:34Now, he's turned his back from it all.
00:16:37Ladies and gentlemen, Hollywood Goal!

00:17:48He's yelling at old ladies.
00:17:50He's phenomenal.
00:17:55I don't have to play by any rules as Hollywood Hogan.
00:17:58I can lie, cheat, lie right to your face
00:18:01and get away with it because I'm a bad guy.

00:25:01Roman Reigns, this is home.
00:25:04And it is home for this reason.
00:25:07Tonight marks the record 11th main event at WrestleMania for Roman Reigns.
00:25:15No one's close.
00:25:18No one's close.
00:25:20He's in second place.
00:25:22Only had eight main events.
00:25:24Roman Reigns has made WrestleMania his.
00:25:28Gonzalez.
00:31:55It is time for our main event, take it home, Alicia Taylor.
00:32:08The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:32:27Introducing first, the challenger from Pensacola, Florida, weighing in for 265 pounds.
00:32:44The OTC, Roman Reigns.
00:33:08And his opponent, from Chicago, Illinois.
00:33:17Weighing in at 218 pounds, he is the World Heavyweight Champion, CM Pong.
00:33:36It is a big fight field in the city that knows all about epic confrontations.
00:33:44In Las Vegas, CM Pong, the World Heavyweight Champion in his very first WrestleMania main event in a one-on
00:33:52-one match against the man who is headlined now 11 WrestleManias.
00:33:57A man who is unfamiliar as being introduced as the challenger, the tribal chief Roman Reigns.
00:34:04Reigns and Pong set the square off one-on-one for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:34:11Oh, man. We are getting a real life what if right now.
00:34:16This is like Jordan versus LeBron in a one-on-one game.
00:34:20That thing you always wanted to see.
00:34:22Usually, you only get this in a video game, but we are getting it live in living color right now.
00:34:29Roman Reigns told Pong, you want to play tough guy? You're not on my level. You'll never be on my
00:34:34level.
00:34:35And I'm going to prove that to you tonight. I'm going to embarrass you on the grandest stage of all
00:34:40in a matchup that's extremely personal.
00:34:43They've talked about their families. They've talked about their legacy.
00:34:46And now it comes down to this. Who truly is the best in the world?
00:34:51We'll put it right now, Michael Cole. They've talked a lot of trash to one another.
00:34:55Said you're not as good as me, but both men have shown up here tonight in Vegas in the best
00:35:00shape of their career.
00:35:01Abs popping. That's a level of respect.
00:35:36Great way, let's talk strategy. If you're Roman Reigns, what do you do to win the world title tonight?
00:35:40Well, it's pure power against a man who simply cannot match you in that department. Reigns, the biggest, stronger athlete.
00:35:47That has to be the go-to.
00:35:48If you're CM Punk, how do you keep the gold?
00:35:50You lean on the fact that you are so proud of your heritage, your history in this game, your deep
00:35:56range of attacks.
00:35:57Catch Roman Reigns with something he's simply not prepared for.
00:36:06Right from the off, you see how agitated Roman Reigns is. I feel already. Punk is in the mind of
00:36:12Roman Reigns here.
00:36:14Yeah, the question has been over the past few weeks, who is in control mentally? Has it been Punk? Has
00:36:19it been Roman?
00:36:20I don't know if CM Punk has ever not been in control mentally of any rivalry in the history of
00:36:27his career. At least he would believe so.
00:36:38Big starting to heat upside headlock now by Punk.
00:36:42Animosity began back in 2012 when the Shield burst on the scene. Rollins, Ambrose and Reigns at the behest of
00:36:49CM Punk. Roman told me in an interview, Punk was nice to them for two weeks and then he turned
00:36:53into an ass, you know what I mean. And Punk would turn his back on them.
00:36:57Yeah, he was clearly never a benevolent act from Punk. At the time, it was a move to help protect
00:37:02Punk at the top of the card.
00:37:04This is a difference between Punk these days, even things up. But that one rocked the challenge.
00:37:11And then CM Punk would leave the company for almost a decade. Roman Reigns would come into his own. CM
00:37:17Punk with a disrespectful slap to Roman. Roman would carry this company through some of the most important times in
00:37:23its history, including the pandemic era.
00:37:26And then one of the greatest title reigns of all time. Then Punk would return to much fanfare, which ticked
00:37:31off Roman Reigns. Roman now, Samoan dropped to Punk.
00:37:36And this is Roman showing early that I have the power, I control the pace in this ring, not you,
00:37:42Punk. There's gonna be no quick victory here tonight, I promise you that.
00:37:46Both men, so durable, can dig deep, so motivated, that's why they are right here where they belong in the
00:37:53main event.
00:37:53And Punk now with a chop to Reigns. That just ticked Reigns off and delivers a right hand. The thing
00:37:59about Punk, he can't get into a fist fight with Roman. That's not gonna help him.
00:38:06He's gotta outwit Reigns tonight. It's that cerebral power of Punk that can help him in this match.
00:38:12I promise you, CM Punk knows every angle and every strategy, thought it all through. He never once thought he
00:38:19was gonna win a slugfest with Roman Reigns.
00:38:21And now Roman sending Punk over the top rope to the floor. Remember, Punk's got the champ's advantage. Reigns has
00:38:27gotta pin or submit Punk to win the title tonight.
00:38:29And our official Rod Zapata, who has to control this match, begins the count.
00:38:38And now Roman Reigns steps out of the ring, always in control. Never a hurry for Reigns.
00:38:45Nor should they be. That has been the strategy of Roman Reigns going back over a decade.
00:38:50It's what's led him to main event after main event here at WrestleMania.
00:38:56But looking for some breathing room now is the champ, and he's gonna get knocked.
00:39:00And now Punk, who's gonna get bounced off the table, was able to block it.
00:39:04And now Roman Reigns, who goes head first into the Spanish announce desk.
00:39:14And now it's Punk unloading, looking around.
00:39:18Roman Reigns now sends Punk into the barricade.
00:39:22It's that effortless power of Reigns that has come to the fall once again.
00:39:25Just when it looked like Punk may have built up a little head of steam.
00:39:30Turned around in the blink of an eye and hold on here.
00:39:33And smart move by Reigns back into the ring to break the count.
00:39:36And now brings the fight again to Punk here outside.
00:39:39Right hand, Punk lands on our table.
00:39:41Roman Reigns is just the picture of effortless calm.
00:39:46Never want to panic.
00:39:48Always in control.
00:39:50Look out of the way.
00:39:51Doing my best.
00:39:52And Punk now sent into the WWE Universe.
00:39:56Roman telling the official, just hang on one sec.
00:39:58Back into the ring to break the count.
00:40:00You gotta believe Rod Zapata.
00:40:02Uh oh, wait a minute.
00:40:03Roman, up on our announce table.
00:40:06Hey Roman, jump on it.
00:40:07Roman Reigns again.
00:40:11Roman, standing on our announce table here.
00:40:14Punk took a seat in the front row.
00:40:17The point I was gonna make is you gotta believe the official.
00:40:21Well, suckering in Roman Reigns there.
00:40:24Playing a little possum.
00:40:26Now back on the attack is the champion.
00:40:28You gotta believe the official is gonna give some leeway here in this match.
00:40:31Well, so should he.
00:40:32Nobody wants to see this one cheaply.
00:40:34Oh, and Punk now off the barricade to take out Roman.
00:40:36The whole one.
00:40:37And Punk now is feeling it.
00:40:49That is the stubbornness.
00:40:51The defiance.
00:40:53The charisma.
00:40:54That has led CM Punk to have the career he was never supposed to have.
00:40:58Yeah, but maybe Punk didn't worry about Reigns.
00:41:00He just took him off the table to the floor hard.
00:41:03And that was tailbone first for CM Punk.
00:41:07You know, it's been said a number of times.
00:41:09CM Punk's arrogance can hurt him, Wade.
00:41:12And we saw an example of that there.
00:41:15CM Punk would never be anywhere near the main event of WrestleMania
00:41:19if he didn't have said arrogance.
00:41:21Yes, at times it catches him.
00:41:24Cover.
00:41:24Cover by Roman Reigns for the world title.
00:41:29Without that, CM Punk would not be the man he is today.
00:41:33Let's face it.
00:41:33You like that, huh?
00:41:35Yeah, mock me again, bitch.
00:41:36Knock me again, huh?
00:41:38He gets it.
00:41:39He gets it.
00:41:39That's what happens, huh?
00:41:40He gets it.
00:41:40He gets it.
00:41:41This ain't promo day.
00:41:43It ain't Twitter, son.
00:41:45Now Roman's in his element.
00:41:51Punk still fighting back.
00:41:54A man who's been an underdog a lot of his career, Wade.
00:41:57We know about the guts and the hearts and the determination of Punk.
00:42:01Punk.
00:42:02Oh, and a big boot to Punk.
00:42:04Here's the cover.
00:42:05Hook of the leg.
00:42:07And a kick out.
00:42:08Punk talked to us earlier today.
00:42:09And he talked about how he knows he's lucky.
00:42:11How he knows it's a special time for him to be world champion.
00:42:14He would have never been in this position, but Seth Rollins got hurt.
00:42:17So then he had the opportunity to take on Jey Uso at Saturday night's main event where he won the
00:42:22title.
00:42:23Punk said he's going to live every day understanding that he wasn't supposed to be here.
00:42:27Yeah, some people don't get invited.
00:42:29They have to break right into heaven, and that is what CM Punk did.
00:42:33Oh!
00:42:34But heaven ain't feeling too good right now.
00:42:37It's starting to feel like burning fires in hell.
00:42:43Punk, of course, brought into this mess Roman's late great father Sika, Wild Samoans, who once competed at WrestleMania.
00:42:52That brought this to another level.
00:42:55Roman said no one in his legendary family respects CM Punk.
00:43:02Five, one, two, three, five, four.
00:43:15Oh, Punk with that massive clothesline by Reigns.
00:43:18Cover, hook of the leg.
00:43:20Near fall for the world title.
00:43:22And there is just an extra level of stank on every shot that Roman Reigns is throwing at CM Punk.
00:43:29He said it himself when he won the Royal Rumble, immediately choosing CM Punk.
00:43:34Why?
00:43:34Because Punk, I hate you.
00:43:36I hate everything about you.
00:43:39And now that is playing out in the ring.
00:43:41Remember, both of these men were involved in that triple threat with Rollins last year at WrestleMania.
00:43:45Where Heyman and Rollins would join forces.
00:43:48And now Roman Reigns locked and loaded in the corner.
00:43:52Punk trying to hang on.
00:43:55Went for a Superman punch.
00:43:57Punk sidestepped.
00:43:58Clothesline to Reigns.
00:43:59The beat too long.
00:44:00You can't do that against someone who's gonna CM Punk even when you think you've got him beat.
00:44:06Punk from the top rope crossbody.
00:44:09And now pounded away on Roman Reigns.
00:44:12Punk showing that he can pounding ground with the best of him.
00:44:15Punk is just unfading here and he's taken a hell of a beating already from Roman Reigns but now giving
00:44:21it back in spades.
00:44:23Yeah but how many times during his title reign have we thought Punk was down and out.
00:44:27That it was all over and he was able to fight back.
00:44:30Just go back to that matchup at SummerSlam against Gunther.
00:44:34Written off a million times but somehow, some way, found a path to victory.
00:44:39That heel kick by CM Punk, shocking Roman.
00:44:44And this is that grit inside CM Punk from hardscrabble beginnings in this industry, scratching and clawing for every opportunity.
00:44:54This is that grit that could prove a path to victory now for CM Punk.
00:45:01That's the running bulldog by Punk.
00:45:03And Punk says, let's go nighty night.
00:45:08Looking for the go to sleep to retain the world title.
00:45:12Well it's always been the killer blow from CM Punk.
00:45:15Connect with this victory is yours. History tells us that.
00:45:20Punk, measuring Roman, he's trying to get his wits about him.
00:45:24Trying to make it back to his feet.
00:45:26I don't think he's gonna like what's gonna meet him there.
00:45:28Reigns is in shock right now.
00:45:29Right now, got him in position. Looking for the GTS. Reigns though.
00:45:34Deliver a couple of elbows and toast Punk in the corner.
00:45:39And that burst of adrenaline just when you need it, that is a signature of Roman Reigns.
00:45:45Superman Punch, another signature. Punk's down. Is he out? No. Kick out.
00:45:53I mean, how impressive is the resistance here of a perfectly executed Superman Punch?
00:45:59Straight to the left of the jaw of CM Punk. That's a KO in anyone's money. But not tonight.
00:46:08Roman says he feels naked without a championship. He should have gold around his waist.
00:46:15For 1316 days, he held the WWE Championship. As he ruled with an iron fist over WWE.
00:46:23He wants to get back to the top here tonight.
00:46:27I mean, how odd was it watching Roman Reigns come to the ring first tonight.
00:46:32On his entrance.
00:46:38And Punk though. Met him with a high knee.
00:46:42Punk had Reigns outsmarted there.
00:46:53And another running high knee by Punk.
00:46:56And now completely surprising Reigns by this pace this deep into the matchup.
00:47:01That short arm clothesline by Punk. Another one taking Reigns down.
00:47:06And Punk looking completely assertive at this stage in the match. I don't think anyone saw this coming.
00:47:13And Punk's got a chip on his shoulder. He's got a lot to prove, Wade.
00:47:17I mean, he's been proving it his entire career.
00:47:19And like Roman, Roman was spotted for the top from the very beginning to his credit.
00:47:24And now Roman.
00:47:25He's proven management right there.
00:47:26Out to the floor. Here comes Punk.
00:47:29Suicide dive. Reigns driven into the Spanish announce table.
00:47:32That lower back hit hard right on the corner of that table.
00:47:35And there's no respite whatsoever.
00:47:44Punk doing what he wants his way, which has been his career.
00:47:49Reigns bounced off our table.
00:47:51And you just see the belief in CM Punk.
00:47:55Thinks he's got this completely in hand now.
00:48:00And perhaps that is sapping the strength out of Roman Reigns.
00:48:06Roman has been all out of sorts here as Punk has taken control of this match.
00:48:10Just peppering Roman Reigns with shots here.
00:48:13The OTC looking absolutely spent on the desk here.
00:48:16Now Punk is the one breaking the count temporarily.
00:48:22And Roman Reigns is out on our announce desk here.
00:48:26The referee admonishing Punk, but...
00:48:32Punk's got that look in his eye.
00:48:37Punk's got some big ideas.
00:48:39Oh my God, Punk going up to the top rope.
00:48:42Roman's in trouble here on the desk.
00:48:45And Roman Reigns, Punk took too much time.
00:48:51And a recovery just in the nick of time for Roman Reigns there as disaster loomed.
00:48:59Nice elbow from Punk to Reigns as these two battle out on the apron.
00:49:03Back to that slugfest that CM Punk surely did not want any part of, but he's holding his own here.
00:49:11Paintbrush poop by Roman.
00:49:13And these are just all shots, oh God, that would drop a normal human being.
00:49:18It's not these two.
00:49:22And Roman's got Punk hung up.
00:49:25And they tied up there.
00:49:26A lot of strain on that left knee of CM Punk.
00:49:28And again, the referee in this match, Wade, letting a lot go.
00:49:33And you can't blame him.
00:49:34One of the most anticipated main events in WrestleMania history.
00:49:38With a human punch back here.
00:49:40This could be very dangerous.
00:49:42CM Punk's defenseless.
00:49:44Roman Reigns is teeing off on Punk.
00:49:46Punk can't defend himself here.
00:49:50That is why it's a master plan from the OTC.
00:49:59Roman Reigns, Superman punch to a helpless Punk.
00:50:05And he's not stopping there, Cole.
00:50:08Another one.
00:50:10Well, you know, the official's gotta step in here and try to get Punk out of this situation.
00:50:14This is dangerous now for Punk.
00:50:17Just shot after shot, the biggest shots imaginable, and Punk is toast.
00:50:27Roman unloading on the champion.
00:50:29We're looking right at his eyes.
00:50:31Glossed over, eyes in the back of his head.
00:50:34Blood rushing to the brain.
00:50:37Covered in bruises around that forehead, those temples.
00:50:41And I think he's bleeding from the mouth.
00:50:44Roman smells blood.
00:50:45I think Punk is bleeding from the mouth.
00:50:47Probably loosened a few teeth in the process.
00:50:49And now, I don't know what the hell Roman Reigns is cooking up.
00:50:52This could risk a disqualification.
00:50:54Oh, my God.
00:50:54You gotta do something, Rod.
00:50:55You gotta get in here.
00:50:56No!
00:50:57The steps off the face of CM Punk.
00:51:00And I know you gotta give leeway in this match, right?
00:51:02Oh, God.
00:51:03Punk is in a real mess.
00:51:05Oh, God.
00:51:06Punk's been busted open by those steps.
00:51:08Oh.
00:51:10Roman needs to be really careful.
00:51:11He's really lost it here.
00:51:13And I'm surprised the ref didn't throw that out.
00:51:15You're right, though.
00:51:15It's the main event of WrestleMania.
00:51:17Nobody wants that.
00:51:19Well, and-
00:51:21It's personal.
00:51:23There's a lot of animosity here.
00:51:26CM Punk is in a really bad way.
00:51:28And, of course, gloating now is Roman Reigns, who's completely in pole position.
00:51:33And this is why.
00:51:34That's what busted the mouth up of CM Punk.
00:51:37He was busted in the forehead by the steps.
00:51:39Oh, no.
00:51:40This is-
00:51:40And you saw the official put on gloves out here.
00:51:42He's gotta deal with Punk who's injured.
00:51:45As Roman Reigns now clears off the Spanish announce table.
00:51:47And you're now seeing the very worst of Roman Reigns.
00:51:50Oh, this is the reason this man was a four-year champion.
00:51:54He shows remorse for no one.
00:52:01Well, Roman didn't just come here to win, did he?
00:52:03He came here to make a public spectacle.
00:52:07Of a man he professes to me.
00:52:12That he was gonna embarrass Punk.
00:52:15That he was gonna humiliate him.
00:52:17He's doing that.
00:52:17And now, speaking of the shield, Punk is up high.
00:52:21CM Punk onto the Spanish announce table and throw it.
00:52:26Oh, my God.
00:52:28Punk's a mess.
00:52:30Reigns has put him through the table.
00:52:34We'll take another look at this.
00:52:36We talked about the power advantage of Reigns.
00:52:38This is how you use it.
00:52:39And you maximize that advantage.
00:52:42The body of CM Punk, which has been beaten, battered to a bloody pulp.
00:52:49And the referee may end up having to stop this.
00:52:52And again, Wade, for Roman Reigns, this is about the world title, right?
00:52:54But it's about much more than that.
00:52:56It's about punishing this man.
00:52:57It's about torturing this man.
00:52:59It's about taking out all that anger and all that frustration that Roman Reigns has had for
00:53:03Punk over the years here tonight.
00:53:05This is ten-plus years of hatred from Roman Reigns.
00:53:09But what he feels Punk did to him, what Punk said about him,
00:53:12it's all coming out here in Vegas in our main event.
00:53:17Punk sent into the center of the ring as Roman Reigns lets out the war cry.
00:53:25And now Roman...
00:53:26Wait for the spear!
00:53:27Punk!
00:53:28Punk!
00:53:28With it!
00:53:29Oh, GTS!
00:53:30Out of nowhere!
00:53:31Cover by Punk!
00:53:32Is he gonna do it?
00:53:33Roman Reigns kicked out!
00:53:44Well, Punk's dead and buried here, surely.
00:53:47Lining up for the spear, but no.
00:53:49CM Punk shocking the world once again.
00:53:53But even more shockingly, perhaps, a late kick out from the OTC keeping this alive.
00:54:0355,255 tonight, looking on in Las Vegas.
00:54:06At an incredible main event between CM Punk, the world champion, and the challenger Roman Reigns.
00:54:13And somehow, and I don't know how, Roman Reigns has lost control of this match.
00:54:18Well, after getting a paint brushing, CM Punk unfathomably may be about to secure this championship.
00:54:26Looking for another jeep.
00:54:28Go to sleep, and Roman Reigns now with momentum.
00:54:30Now!
00:54:32Cover!
00:54:331, 2, 3, 1!
00:54:351?
00:54:35What?
00:54:362, 3, 2, 1!
00:54:41WTF?
00:54:45have been equal to it and this spear to a severely debilitated CM Punk had to be the end
00:54:54and this is what we were talking about earlier Wade I don't know how he does it but CM Punk
00:55:01never says die he never gives up there's something inside this man that drives him to do these
00:55:07unhuman things he's the most stubborn human being you could ever meet it's why management
00:55:15have always despised him it's why he never got the invite to the dance but it's why he is who
00:55:21he is
00:55:22and it's why Roman Reigns is now losing it yeah Roman Reigns you saw the look on his face complete
00:55:27and utter shock at Punk being able to kick out and now continuing to punish Punk driving his beaten up
00:55:32face into the mat shoving his face into the mat and it is rare you see Roman Reigns completely
00:55:39unglued but perhaps now Serene Karl passing back over the great man realizing he has the ball in
00:55:46his court and now he tells Punk it's time for a night time story
00:56:05and again the rebel in Punk
00:56:10CM Punk has been as gutsy as can be here but it's slipping away very quickly and this could be
00:56:18a
00:56:18humiliating end to CM Punk's world heavyweight championship reign
00:56:25Roman Reigns has in store here what I think he does
00:56:28Roman's loving this he's got Punk in position to utilize Punk's own move against him
00:56:35acknowledge me Las Vegas
00:56:41went for the GTS blocked over by Punk, Punk caught him with a kick to the ear
00:56:45Roman Reigns down to retain from out of nowhere Roman kicks it to again
00:56:50well right at the death CM Punk just finding a little something and that roundhouse kick
00:56:55may have spawned this around again but Punk looks like a broken man here
00:57:03but a broken man possessed
00:57:12he doesn't know how to die I mean it's been his entire career every time you think this man was
00:57:17dead and buried that his career was over that he couldn't come back and do anything again he's here
00:57:22he's the world champion and he's doing it against one of the best ever in Roman Reigns
00:57:26and now gonna pull out Roman Reigns' own move on him
00:57:28locked and loaded is CM Punk
00:57:37the Superman punch it connected
00:57:39cover by Punk
00:57:40can you imagine
00:57:42no
00:57:44can you imagine the embarrassment if Reigns had lost to that
00:57:47well now a little ground and pound from CM Punk struggling to stay at a vertical base
00:57:53gonna use the ropes to prop him up but suddenly the calm man in this match seems to be CM
00:58:00Punk
00:58:00and if the body can keep on cooperating it's Punk's to win what is Punk up to here
00:58:07well he just took a that's an ulafala of course that one of our fans was wearing
00:58:12and now this is really gonna stick to to Roman Reigns

00:59:12and this might be the only chance he has
00:59:15Roman trying to fight his way out of this
00:59:17trying to somehow break this hold
00:59:19well Punk ain't releasing it but he's forced to now

01:00:00Reigns has got it in here
01:00:01that might have been the last gasp for Punk
01:00:03well it was an awkward strike from the heel
01:00:05right to the jaw of CM Punk
01:00:07and he dropped instantly
01:00:09in the worst possible spot
01:00:12fortuitous
01:00:13for Roman Reigns
01:00:14and again Punk turns this into a
01:00:16petty combination
01:00:17it absolutely looks like
01:00:18both men's shoulders were down there
01:00:20but nonetheless
01:00:21both men collide
01:00:22center of the ring

01:03:16well that was a Hail Mary
01:03:18from CM Punk
01:03:20but it was not answered
01:03:27and when this doesn't work
01:03:29the referee
01:03:31temporarily
01:03:32unsighted
01:03:33a low blow
01:03:35a GTS
01:03:38and maybe you have to accept
01:03:40that it ain't gonna be your night
01:03:43well Punk dropping elbow
01:03:45after elbow
01:03:47and another one
01:03:48as Reigns just tries to recover
01:03:50from this onslaught now
01:03:53by Punk
01:03:54well I don't know
01:03:55what else Punk has in store
01:03:57I don't know what else
01:03:58tactically he can possibly have
01:04:00after that
01:04:01that was a break glass
01:04:03in emergency scenario
01:04:05and Reigns kicked out
01:04:15this place
01:04:16is electric
01:04:18I told you
01:04:19it was one of the great main events
01:04:20in Wrestlemania history
01:04:25and now CM Punk
01:04:27gonna place Roman Reigns
01:04:28on the table
01:04:29he has not yet recovered
01:04:30from the low blow
01:04:31and the numerous elbows
01:04:33delivered by Punk to Reigns
01:04:34and Punk barely has the strength
01:04:36to get the massive frame
01:04:37of Reigns there
01:04:38but he manages it
01:04:39in the end
01:04:40and there's nothing
01:04:42nothing at all
01:04:43happening
01:04:43in the eyes
01:04:44of the OTC
01:04:46perhaps on a different planet
01:04:48right now
01:04:50and no clue
01:04:52what CM Punk
01:04:53is currently
01:04:54conspiring to execute
01:04:55I'll tell you
01:04:56what he's thinking of doing
01:04:57he's coming up
01:04:57to the top rope
01:04:58Roman Reigns
01:04:59is on the announce table
01:05:00high risk maneuver
01:05:01coming for CM Punk
01:05:03do what you gotta do
01:05:04to keep your title
01:05:07go big
01:05:08or go home
01:05:20Punk with an elbow
01:05:21through Reigns
01:05:23through the table
01:05:25both men
01:05:26break it in half
01:05:43surprisingly the referee
01:05:45taking a very close look
01:05:46after what we just saw
01:05:48Punk going for broke
01:05:50Punk connecting
01:05:51Roman Reigns
01:05:53looking dead and buried
01:05:54at this point
01:05:55and Punk
01:05:55barely faring any better
01:05:57this looks like
01:05:58a disaster scene
01:05:59out here
01:06:00somehow Punk's
01:06:01back to his feet
01:06:02Roman Reigns
01:06:03is writhing in pain
01:06:05Punk simply
01:06:06cannot stay
01:06:07on his feet
01:06:08stumbling around
01:06:10but somehow
01:06:11looking the better
01:06:13of these two warriors
01:06:14who have put it
01:06:15all on the line
01:06:15here in the main event
01:06:16Warriors
01:06:17is the apt word
01:06:18to describe
01:06:19these two men
01:06:21this has been
01:06:22one hell of a match
01:06:23the referee's now
01:06:24barking at CM Punk
01:06:25get back in the ring
01:06:26I think it's a little
01:06:27too late for
01:06:28law and order
01:06:29ref
01:06:30putting everything
01:06:31on the line
01:06:33for the championship
01:06:34Punk crawling
01:06:36toward Roman Reigns
01:06:39and Punk has Reigns
01:06:41exactly where he
01:06:42needs him now
01:06:43can he deliver
01:06:44that killer blow
01:06:46Punk has done
01:06:47everything
01:06:47he's pulled out
01:06:48all the stops
01:06:49and now he's looking
01:06:50to put Roman Reigns
01:06:51away
01:06:51with one more
01:06:52going to sleep
01:06:59GTS connecting
01:07:00caught Roman
01:07:01on the chin
01:07:04Reigns though
01:07:05he just fell right
01:07:07back on to Punk's
01:07:07shoulders
01:07:08it bounced off
01:07:08the rope
01:07:09there's no way
01:07:10Reigns can even
01:07:10hold his own
01:07:11weight up there
01:07:12and what a landing
01:07:13for Reigns
01:07:14the worst possible
01:07:15one
01:07:16Punk with Reigns
01:07:18up yet again
01:07:19and he just collapsed
01:07:20Punk just collapsed
01:07:22Punk is spent
01:07:24Punk is toast
01:07:26what a lucky escape
01:07:28for Roman Reigns
01:07:29although can he do
01:07:31anything with it
01:07:32it looks unlikely
01:07:38exhaustion now setting in
01:07:40pushing the limits
01:07:41the limits of humanity
01:07:42both men
01:07:51Spear
01:07:53but Roman can't capitalize
01:07:57Puck just ate it
01:08:21Reigns again with momentum
01:08:23Another Spear to Punk, cover by Roman,
01:08:28crowd a new champ, got him.
01:08:34Here is your winner,
01:08:38and new World Heavyweight Champion,
01:08:44the OTC, Roman Reigns.
01:08:54Roman Reigns is now a seven-time World Champion.
01:09:00The Tribal Chief is back at the head of the table.
01:09:11I mean, you can't take anything away from the Warrior CM Punk.
01:09:16What a tremendous champion.
01:09:22Well, what an epic main event to cap off WrestleMania.
01:09:28Two men in that ring who went above and beyond the realms
01:09:32of what should be possible in pursuit of the World Heavyweight Championship.
01:09:38CM Punk never says die.
01:09:41I mentioned it before.
01:09:42It is the M.O. of his entire career.
01:09:45In fact, the M.O. of his entire life.
01:09:48And it looked like, once again tonight,
01:09:51CM Punk was going to do everything in his power
01:09:54to continue to reign as World Heavyweight Champion.
01:09:58But in the end, it was just too much.
01:10:01The exhaustion got to Punk.
01:10:04Roman Reigns capitalized.
01:10:06It is the new champion.
01:10:09Well, let's look at some of the highlights of this match.
01:10:11This is CM Punk going for Broke,
01:10:14connecting from the top row through the announce table,
01:10:20putting his body on the line.
01:10:21That's how much he needed this win.
01:10:23But here's where the exhaustion kicked in.
01:10:26Going for yet another GTS.
01:10:28This would have been the killer blow.
01:10:29That much we know.
01:10:31But CM Punk, after so much abuse,
01:10:34simply wilting under the weight of the OTC's carcass,
01:10:39that at that point was defenseless.
01:10:41But here, that spear, number one, followed up by number two.
01:10:47And CM Punk, as groggy as you like, simply was spent.
01:11:00Just one of the most stunning matches I have ever personally witnessed here.
01:11:08And Roman Reigns tonight, in the main event of WrestleMania,
01:11:13the glory and the gold are all yours.
01:11:27All seems right in the world once again.
01:11:31Roman Reigns is holding gold.
01:11:36Roman Reigns is a world champion.
01:11:40One's to the sky for the OTC, the tribal chief,
01:11:46who's back at the head of the table.
01:12:29You can all say what you want.
01:12:32But Roman Reigns was built for WrestleMania.
01:12:39Mania!
01:13:09Mania!
01:13:15Mania!
01:13:19Only on James Godzilla.
