00:10:26Main event, Jey Uso, the biggest night of his career, the winner of the Royal Rumble.
00:10:34Stay on beat, Cole.
00:10:37Stay on beat.
00:10:39I'm just excited to be here.
00:10:41We all are, baby.
00:10:43It's WrestleMania.
00:10:44In this particular WrestleMania will be what?
00:10:47That Jey Uso will remember for the rest of his life.
00:10:50When a documentary is made about the right-hand man, tonight will be in it.
00:10:55Could it be the first time he's a world champion all by himself?
00:11:01Or in that he gets his heart broke by the ring, Genera?
00:11:08Until then.
00:11:30I'll tell you what, Cole.
00:11:32A lot of yeeting here early.
00:11:37Wade, you might have to call the whole show.
00:11:39Well, quite happily, I'm sure it'll be a vast improvement from you two jumping out of the blocks at an
00:11:4511.
00:11:46I will say, in an entire stadium, yeeting to the max right now, Jey Uso seems remarkably restrained.
00:12:01He's the only one that can restrain himself from.
00:12:08Yeet, yeet, yeet, yeet, yeet, yeet, yeet, yeet, yeet, yeet in all the ages, baby.
00:12:14Well, it's all excitement for everyone else, but Jey Uso is the man that has to now step in the
00:12:20ring with the ring, Generaal Gunther.
00:12:22Hold the celebrations.
00:12:25Because everybody's having fun.
00:12:27Even Rick Rubin is yeeting in the front row, Pat.
00:12:30I like that.
00:12:31I like that.
00:12:33Big brain man from a lot of great songs.
00:12:36This being a banger through and through.
00:12:39How do you do, Ricky Roos?
00:12:48Hey, look at Jey Uso right next to our lucky Slim Jim Sweet Steak winner,
00:12:53who is leaving the ultimate fan experience thanks to Slim Jim.
00:12:56Need a little excitement?
00:12:58Snap in to a Slim Jim.
00:13:03Come on, Uso!
00:13:04Come on, Uso!
00:13:06That was a WrestleMania!
00:13:08Come on, Blair!
00:13:12A little subdued.
00:13:13Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to WrestleMania.
00:13:16Pat McAfee and I are here, and for the first time at the announce desk,
00:13:19it is WrestleMania debut, Wade Barrett.
00:13:22Welcome, partner.
00:13:23I am so pumped up for this.
00:13:24I know it might not have seen so much like that during the yeeting experience.
00:13:27I'm trying to pace myself.
00:13:29This is a massive show with massive matches,
00:13:31and I'm so honored to be a part of this process.
00:13:34Hey, even the Spanish announcers, Marcelo Rodriguez and Jerry Soto,
00:13:37doing some jeans as well.
00:13:38Here we are, here we are.
00:13:41We are live with our WrestleMania, WrestleMania,
00:13:43to make history again.
00:13:45That's it, thank you for the rest of the Mania.
00:13:58Well, the stars are out tonight.
00:14:01We'd like to welcome Turgill al-Sheikh,
00:14:03the chairman of the GEA from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
00:14:07They welcome us into their country a couple of times a year.
00:14:10He's enjoying WrestleMania here tonight.
00:14:14Welcome to the show, Turkey.
00:14:16We thank you for coming.
00:14:18We're leading off with the biggest wagon in WWE.
00:14:23The Yeet Train starts WrestleMania 41.
00:14:30Let's get down to business now.
00:14:32Wade hit the nail on the head.
00:14:33All the fun and games are over here in a couple of minutes for Jey Uso.
00:14:37He comes in tonight, Wade, 0-6 in world championship matches in his career.
00:14:42Perhaps more importantly, 0-3 when it comes to going one-on-one with Gunther.
00:14:47Well, pressure is no greater than right here at WrestleMania.
00:14:50Jey's been here before, he's done it before,
00:14:52but he's done it in tag action where he's had somebody to lean on.
00:14:56He stands alone, and it must be the most lonely spot on planet Earth
00:15:00knowing what is about to walk down this aisle.
00:15:03He's not alone at all.
00:15:04I think you can see clearly, Wade.
00:15:08All of Vegas is with him.
00:15:35All of Vegas is with him.
00:15:40Gunther marching his way to the ring.
00:15:44He has only been pinned by two men since arriving on the scene on Monday Night Raw.
00:15:53A number of years ago.
00:15:55One was Cody Rhodes back at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia in November.
00:15:59The other was a year ago.
00:16:02Pat right here at WrestleMania, when he went into the matchup,
00:16:05a heavy favorite against the underdog, Sami Zayn.
00:16:07Sami would go on to upset Gunther and end the 666-day raid as champion.
00:16:13Yeah, certainly Sami Zayn is a very capable competitor.
00:16:19So...
00:16:20Maybe Gunther took him less seriously.
00:16:25more seriously than he should.
00:16:27A record at 51-3.
00:16:29This man wins and wins and wins some more.
00:16:32Doesn't understand losing.
00:16:33But the last couple of weeks, he seemingly has lost himself a little bit
00:16:37with Jey Uso barking back.
00:16:38Ladies and gentlemen, this match tonight is presented by Slim Jim.
00:16:43Get Savage with America's favorite golden spicy meat stick.
00:16:48Snap in to a Slim Jim.
00:16:51Oh, yeah.
00:16:52Also making her WrestleMania debut tonight, our ring announcer, the great Alicia Taylor.
00:17:04The following contest scheduled for one ball is for the World Heavyweight Championship!
00:17:21Introducing first, the challenger, from San Francisco, California, weighing in at 242 pounds,
00:17:37Main event, Jey Uso!
00:17:49And his opponent, from Vienna, Austria, weighing in at 250 pounds,
00:18:03he is the World Heavyweight Touring General, GULTER!
00:18:15Jey Uso won the 2025 Royal Rumble.
00:18:19He would go on to pick this man, Gunther, to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:18:23World Heavyweight Championship.
00:18:26Weighed a lot of people have questioned the decision of why Uso would pick this monster known as Gunther.
00:18:31Well, it's a mountain to climb from the word go.
00:18:33For the past three months, Gunther has been at his brutalist worst.
00:18:40It looked like it, it crumbled Jey Uso from the off, but the last two weeks,
00:18:44we've seen a very different version of Main Event Jey.
00:18:48You win the World Heavyweight Championship, it's going to be tough.
00:18:49This one might be the toughest of them all.
00:18:53Talked a lot over the past couple of weeks, the fact that after bloodying and bludgeoning Jey Uso's brother, Jimmy,
00:18:59that Gunther sent Jey Uso into another space.
00:19:04Uso's been intense.
00:19:06Jey Uso has been focused, and perhaps...
00:19:22Gunther marching his way to the ring.
00:19:26He has only been pinned by two men since arriving on the scene on Monday Night Raw.
00:19:33For the first time, Gunther has lost some control of this situation.
00:19:37Yeah, it's been a morphing act by Jey Uso, and that morphing act has completely rattled the champ.
00:19:43Everything Gunther thought he knew about Jey Uso has gone out the window.
00:19:48I think everything Jey Uso thought he knew about Jey Uso has gone out the window.
00:19:52Feels like a new person as of late, as we wait each other out here a little bit on the
00:19:57big stage.
00:19:58The problem for Jey, I mentioned before, 0-3 in one-on-one matches with Gunther back in 2024,
00:20:03when Jey Uso was the Iron Man of the Rumble that year.
00:20:06Let's get started!
00:20:0850 minutes before being eliminated by Gunther.
00:20:10We're underway.
00:20:11Are you surprised, Wade, that Jey Uso went for the collar and elbow tie-up to start this match?
00:20:16Yeah, I am completely, and listen, the mindset of Jey Uso may have appeared to have changed over the past
00:20:22two weeks.
00:20:23Physically, he's still the same guy.
00:20:25That's the problem.
00:20:28Physically, nobody...
00:20:29Oh, and Jey firing back to the right, and he drops Gunther, and Gunther now back on his heels,
00:20:33and he's going to roll out of the way, the ring now, to readjust.
00:20:37All right, forget everything.
00:20:38Oh, Gunther, but when Gunther feels a weakness on himself, he fixes it and comes back stronger.
00:20:44Yeah, Jey Uso has actually put on some muscle over the last few months.
00:20:48He's got a new neck tap, so physically he's different as well coming in here.
00:20:52And I think what Gunther just realized was, wait a minute, Jey Uso can throw hands if he has to.
00:20:56Yeah, real contrast in styles in this matchup.
00:20:59Gunther is steadfast, machine-like.
00:21:02He's redefined brutality here at WWE.
00:21:05For Jey Uso, he's flashy, he's quick, he's a veteran.
00:21:08Looking to outsmart Gunther here tonight, which I'm not sure you could do against the ring general.
00:21:13Well, Gunther leaves no stone unturned in his preparation,
00:21:17especially for the biggest matches here at WrestleMania.
00:21:21Jey Uso simply cannot outmaneuver the champ physically.
00:21:25Side headlock, and Pat, if you're Gunther, you want to try to ground and pound Uso tonight.
00:21:29Absolutely, Gunther's trying to pound everything in sight.
00:21:32Big shoulder tackle, Uso with his quickness moves out of the way.
00:21:35And Jey Uso with a shoulder tackle of his own, shot by Gunther.
00:21:39Yeah, those are going to be the equalizers here.
00:21:41And a step up in, Seguri drops the champ again.
00:21:44And again, Gunther has to roll out of the way and try to reassess this situation.
00:21:49Step up in Seguri, gives Jey a little bit of peace here.
00:21:52Well, here's the shocking moment, that huge chop from Gunther there.
00:21:55Jey just ate it, it rattled him, but he didn't go down.
00:21:58That has surprised the big Austrian.
00:22:00The dominant champion, he's held the title 80% of his career in WWE.
00:22:06870 days as the NXT UK champ.
00:22:09666 days as the Intercontinental Champion.
00:22:13258 days now as the world champ since winning back at SummerSlam.
00:22:19One thing Gunther has to do, Pat, is not allow the crowd to get into this match.
00:22:25Yeah, you watch him just take a step back there once the eating started here in Las Vegas.
00:22:28And maybe it is in his head a little bit that the whole stadium is against him.
00:22:32Being a former NFL player, explain to us the importance of the momentum of the crowd to help your team.
00:22:38Yeah, momentum's a real thing.
00:22:39Stats and analytics don't really know how to explain it, but if the vibes are good and they're going...
00:22:43Oh! Confidence is high.
00:22:45Not enough.
00:22:46And Gunther into the cover now.
00:22:47Jey forced to kick out.
00:22:49I'm not sure you want to try to overpower Gunther here.
00:22:51Yeah, and I guess you're overestimating the importance of crowd noise when it comes to Gunther.
00:22:55A lot of people, yes, it will affect.
00:22:58Gunther is just built so different.
00:23:00He's got the granite mindset.
00:23:01Noise from the peanut gallery is not going to affect him at all.
00:23:05We're talking about noise.
00:23:07The chops to Jey's chest tonight that people are going to hear, maybe for the first time, alarming.
00:23:12What that right hand of that Austrian man can do.
00:23:17He's devastated.
00:23:24Body slam from Jey Uso.
00:23:33And now Gunther backing up into the corner again, and Jey Uso caught him.
00:23:37And Jey now starting to roll.
00:23:38Gunther, the champion, could be in some trouble.
00:23:41Gunther was not expecting...
00:23:42Oh, that chop will stop Jey in his tracks as he tumbles and falls to the floor.
00:23:48That's what I was talking about just moments ago.
00:23:50It's been flurries.
00:23:52It's been 100 miles an hour from Jey Uso.
00:23:55It has rattled the champ on occasion, but one killer blow like that changes everything.
00:24:01And again, another look at this chop.
00:24:03It's his finisher.
00:24:04Boom!
00:24:05If he hits it, it could be over a medium.
00:24:08And remember, guys, no hurry for Gunther here.
00:24:10He's got the champion's advantage.
00:24:13Jey must pin or submit Gunther to win the title.
00:24:16And this is the pace that Gunther likes.
00:24:18It was that 100 miles an hour stuff from Jey Uso that was playing into Uso's game plan.
00:24:23Now this is all back to the drawing board.
00:24:26Gunther goes 6-4, 2-50.
00:24:29Vienna, Austria, and that big uppercut drops Jey again.
00:24:32And now it almost feels like, Pat, that Gunther's starting to settle in.
00:24:35Yeah, this is right where Gunther likes to be.
00:24:38He's in complete control.
00:24:39You are at his mercy, and he's chopping and thumping your body down.
00:24:45And if you were Jey Uso, Wade, this is what you had to try to avoid.
00:24:49Yeah, absolutely.
00:24:50You asked him to win three weeks ago.
00:24:53Jey Uso had zero chance in this match.
00:24:55All that has changed in the meantime is a couple of fired-up speeches from Jey Uso.
00:25:00Physically, he's exactly the same, and now he's getting dominated by Gunther.
00:25:04This was inevitable.
00:25:06You don't think that affected Gunther emotionally at all.
00:25:08Until the bell rings, and then something switches in the mind of Gunther.
00:25:14And this version appears.
00:25:15Now the match settling in to the point where I believe many people thought this match would be
00:25:20that the dominance of Gunther didn't want to believe, wanted to believe in Jey.
00:25:24Jey with a spear!
00:25:25He caught him out of midair with a spear.
00:25:27Changed out a steal of win over Gunther, who's got to kick it too.
00:25:31Now, if you're the champion, Wade, that's going to knock you all out of sorts.
00:25:33Yeah, and if everything you're saying, Wade, is true, then Jey Uso didn't just spear Gunther
00:25:37out of his boots and almost win the title right here in Las Vegas.
00:25:41Take another look at this.
00:25:42Spear connects to perfection, but to be honest, Gunther absorbed it, kicked out at exactly the
00:25:49right moment, keeps the match alive.
00:25:51And really, Jey Uso took too long to follow it up.
00:25:54You've got to wonder if Jey got all that spear with full momentum, but Jey's still fighting
00:25:59back, and Gunther seems to be on his heels a bit here.
00:26:03In case Jey Uso's back in charge.
00:26:07Oof!
00:26:08Wow!
00:26:09Never mind!
00:26:10The biggest equalizer in the game.
00:26:12Throw whatever you want at Gunther.
00:26:14Oh, wait a second.
00:26:15Look at the powerbomb, and Jey turned it in with Samoa drop.
00:26:18Great counter by Jey.
00:26:19He's been beaten by that powerbomb before.
00:26:21I'll tell you this, Jey Uso is as locked in as I have ever seen him.
00:26:25I go back 16 years with that guy.
00:26:27This is a very different, more combative version of Jey Uso.
00:26:31Referee Sean Bennett, the official in this world championship matchup.
00:26:35Gunther now will not allow Uso to get to the top rope.
00:26:39Gunther will meet him there, however.
00:26:40And now the world champion looking to take control.
00:26:42Hooking Uso.
00:26:43Top rope now for Gunther.
00:26:45And a suplex driving Jey Uso across the ring.
00:26:48There's a throw off the top rope.
00:26:50And there's a dinosaur dropkick by the gargantuan Gunther, who now looks to put Uso away with
00:26:56a powerbomb.
00:26:57And this is your freedom.
00:26:58Stacks him up for the win.
00:27:00And the retention and a kickout at two by Jey.
00:27:03How did Jey kick out of that?
00:27:05Well, Gunther is transforming the game before our eyes.
00:27:09No one in history has stacked heavy offense in a row quite like Gunther.
00:27:15This is the final piece in the puzzle.
00:27:17The high-stack powerball.
00:27:19Final piece until it wasn't.
00:27:21Jey Uso still has some resolve left in him.
00:27:24What a night tonight at Allegiant Stadium.
00:27:26We kick off WrestleMania Saturday with a world heavyweight title on the line.
00:27:30With a world heavyweight title on the line.
00:27:32Over 60,000 will be in this building tonight in Las Vegas.
00:27:37An absolutely electrifying atmosphere.
00:27:41WrestleMania weekends are a must-do for any human with breath.
00:27:46It's been a wild 24 hours already.
00:27:49What do you have to do, huh?
00:27:51Right hand.
00:27:53Big slap by Gunther.
00:27:54Drops Jey again.
00:27:56Delivery at another powerbomb to Jey Uso.
00:27:58Jey is turning around with a nice Rana.
00:28:00And now Jey Uso's spear again.
00:28:02Spear again by Jey.
00:28:03Jey's got Gunther hurt.
00:28:04Gunther's down.
00:28:05Jey Uso's going to look to go up top.
00:28:07Is it Jey's moment?
00:28:08Is it Jey's opportunity?
00:28:10Jey from the top rope.
00:28:11Frogs blast connecting.
00:28:13Cover.
00:28:14One, two, three.
00:28:15Gunther kicks at it too.
00:28:19Well, they've both now dropped their heaviest artillery.
00:28:22And it simply hasn't worked.
00:28:25Gunther got the second bite of the cherry.
00:28:28Jey beats him to the punch with his spear.
00:28:30This time following it up with that iconic splash.
00:28:34But Gunther is the champ for a reason.
00:28:37And this one lives on.
00:28:38And it's interesting because both the men have hit their finishers.
00:28:41Their Uso splash and the powerbomb.
00:28:43And you've got to believe is frustrating starting.
00:28:46Frustration, I should say, starting to set in for Gunther.
00:28:49What the hell is Gunther doing?
00:28:51He's taking his bat and ball and going home?
00:28:54Gunther has grabbed his world title.
00:29:05And Jey Uso now.
00:29:07And look at the referee.
00:29:08Bennett had a duck out of the way.
00:29:09And Gunther used the belts as a weapon.
00:29:11Jey Uso with a belt to the face.
00:29:14Gunther now going up to the top rope.
00:29:16Gunther with a splash.
00:29:17Gunther looking to retain and steal this matchup.
00:29:21Kick out by Jey.
00:29:23Well, the hell is there anything left of Jey Uso?
00:29:26And now the frustration has set it in, Wade.
00:29:29Gunther realized that was his opportunity.
00:29:31And now, now locking in the sleeper.
00:29:34The choke is locked in.
00:29:36This looks very similar to what was happening to Jimmy a couple weeks ago.
00:29:39Indeed.
00:29:39And Jey Uso was forced to watch as his brother was choked out.
00:29:43A bloody mess in the center of the ring.
00:29:45WWE fans trying to rally Jey Uso some way, somehow.
00:29:50Jey trying to make it to the rope.
00:29:51Gunther going to turn it around now and lock it in.
00:29:54The eyes of Jey Uso slowly fade.
00:29:57And this is the last role of the dice if he can't get to that rope.
00:30:00Jey trying to make it to the rope.
00:30:01Gunther doing a nice job blocking.
00:30:03Oh, no!
00:30:03Grabs Jey back to the center of the ring.
00:30:05And that was just a matter of time.
00:30:08Squeezing the soul out of the body of Jey Uso.
00:30:11Still scrambling.
00:30:13And made it to the rope.
00:30:13Jey made it to the rope.
00:30:14Straight move by Jey.
00:30:15Made it to the rope to the official.
00:30:17Gives Gunther a five to break.
00:30:19I thought that was it, Wade.
00:30:21I thought Gunther was going to do what he's done so many times in the past.
00:30:25And that's just make Jey Uso go night-night.
00:30:29Well, he ain't night-night quite yet.
00:30:31But things are getting incredibly close.
00:30:34I told him.
00:30:39I thought they were screaming at Uso.
00:30:43Obviously frustrated.
00:30:45Trying to figure out what he needs to do to put Jey away.
00:30:49A couple of vicious knees to the jaw of Jey Uso.
00:30:52And another chop.
00:30:54And Gunther's ticked off right now.
00:30:55You get hit with a title.
00:30:57Your brain is scrambled.
00:30:58Jey Uso at this point completely defenseless.
00:31:01I'm starting to question the likelihood of Jey Uso's ongoing aliveness.
00:31:06You saw the official Sean Bennett again checking on Jey Uso.
00:31:10And Jey says, just bring it.
00:31:12And now another chop by Gunther.
00:31:13Uso is laughing.
00:31:15Jey Uso is laughing at the chops from Gunther.
00:31:18Jey Uso said, do you know the family I grew up in?
00:31:21You think you're going to be able to out-chop me?
00:31:23And another one walked right into that.
00:31:25Drops Jey to the knees.
00:31:26Not sure that was wise.
00:31:27But to your point, Jey might not have a clue where he's at.
00:31:29All you want imminently, Jey Uso is going to start looking like Jimmy did several weeks ago.
00:31:36That's a really good point.
00:31:38Gunther promised he would bloody and bludgeon and batter Jey Uso in this match tonight.
00:31:44Gunther waiting for Jey to get back to his feet.
00:31:47Jey back to his feet.
00:31:49Nice blow by Uso.
00:31:50World champ.
00:31:51Looks on the left arm and a shot to Jey.
00:31:54Caving the...
00:31:55And another chop.
00:31:57Drops the challenger.
00:31:59At this point, Jey Uso clearly is not thinking like the normal Jey Uso.
00:32:05And the referee needs to keep a close eye on this.
00:32:07Part of the job of the referee is to protect competitors when they can't protect themselves.
00:32:12It's a championship fight.
00:32:13Jey Uso is nowhere near quitting.
00:32:20Jey fighting back.
00:32:22There's been some physical, vicious championship matches in all genres here in Las Vegas over the years.
00:32:30Gunther and Jey now exchanging blows like massive heavyweights in the middle of the ring.
00:32:35What's going to get here?
00:32:37And Gunther with a clothesline.
00:32:39Jey still at his feet.
00:32:40A clothesline to Gunther as well.
00:32:42Jey still standing tall.
00:32:47Big boot.
00:32:48And that'll knock the champ down.
00:32:53Jey Uso looking like a man possessed.
00:32:59Just want...
00:33:00Through a toughness war...
00:33:02With Gunther in one.
00:33:04We talked about it on the Countdown show.
00:33:05You never know when you're ever going to get another opportunity at the World Championship.
00:33:09You got to take it when you can.
00:33:11And now Gunther from behind.
00:33:12The choke now on Uso.
00:33:13Able to duck from underneath.
00:33:15Nice German suplex by Jey.
00:33:20Jey taking a minute, but he can't take too long.
00:33:23Gunther will take advantage.
00:33:25Jey going deep into the playbook tonight.
00:33:27Jey Uso is basically hitting Gunther's greatest hits on Gunther right now.
00:33:33That clothesline.
00:33:34That German suplex.
00:33:38Gunther, whatever he expected tonight, it certainly was not this.
00:33:42It was a great game plan developed here by Jey Uso.
00:33:45And Jey now there again.
00:33:46That's that big dinosaur dropkick.
00:33:48Drops the number one contender in his tracks.
00:33:51Gunther now, center of the ring.
00:33:55Hoisting Jey Uso up.
00:33:56Powerbomb is just a Jey able to counter.
00:33:58Jey counters.
00:33:59Jey's got Gunther.
00:34:00And a powerbomb of his own.
00:34:03Yes, again, pulling out moves from the repertoire of the champ.
00:34:08Studying film.
00:34:10Throwing his game.
00:34:11Jey just hit Gunther with a powerbomb and a superkick.
00:34:15And suddenly Uso's showing signs of life.
00:34:19A powerbomb to the ring general.
00:34:22Roman Reigns told us on Pat McAvee's show Friday how proud he was of Jey Uso in this opportunity tonight.
00:34:28Spear!
00:34:29Speaking of Roman Reigns, a spear by Jey.
00:34:32Gunther's down.
00:34:33Jey's going to climb high.
00:34:35Go on, Jey.
00:34:39Uso splash.
00:34:42Smart by Jey.
00:34:44One didn't get it done last time.
00:34:46So Jey is going to try to develop another one here.
00:34:50A second Uso splash.
00:34:52Rolls through again, Cole.
00:34:54I think he's thinking three Uso splashes.
00:34:59Well, Gunther looks like a big man already.
00:35:01Jey Uso going for the trifecta in Vegas.
00:35:04Connects this time to the back of Gunther.
00:35:08Does Jey have a chance?
00:35:09Does Jey Uso have a chance for the upset of the year?
00:35:13Is Jey Uso about to be world champion?
00:35:16You're a better man.
00:35:17You're putting all on Jey Uso.
00:35:20And now Jey with a choke.
00:35:23With a sleeper on Gunther.
00:35:25Turning Gunther's offense around him.
00:35:27Uso's got it locked in on Gunther.
00:35:29Gunther's fading.
00:35:29Gunther taps out.
00:35:31Jey Uso wins the damn title.
00:35:34Here is your winner.
00:35:38The new world heavyweight champion.
00:35:44Main event, Jey Uso.
00:35:52You guys want to talk about poetic justice.
00:35:56Jey Uso turned the tables tonight.
00:35:59I'm Gunther.
00:36:01Jey Uso's world champion.
00:36:03Jey Uso wins his first title.
00:36:08He rolled the dice on the strip.
00:36:11And it paid off.
00:36:13Gunther taps out.
00:36:20Wait, take us to the end of this.
00:36:21What a miracle performance from Jey Uso.
00:36:25So this is where it looked like the fix was in for Gunther.
00:36:28Connecting with the skull of Jey with that championship.
00:36:32Following it up with this massive splash.
00:36:36But something came over Jey Uso tonight.
00:36:39And he refused to be denied.
00:36:42Gunther tapped out.
00:36:43Throwing everything he had at the man.
00:36:46But Jey was simply equal to it and more.
00:36:49Jey did it.
00:36:51Jey Uso did it.
00:36:52Hitting Gunther with multiples of his own offense.
00:36:55Then pulling out Jey Uso's own greatest hits.
00:36:59The spear.
00:37:01The splash.
00:37:01We saw multiple superkicks.
00:37:04But this was the poetic moment that Michael Cole mentioned.
00:37:08Just when Jey Uso's hopes were fading.
00:37:12He saw a vision of his own brother covered in blood.
00:37:15And this is how he chose to defeat the man that put Jey Uso in that state.
00:37:20Ladies and gentlemen.
00:37:22A career that started a couple of decades ago.
00:37:27In a small promotion.
00:37:30That was before NXT.
00:37:33Known as Florida Championship Wrestling.
00:37:41The late, great Dusty Rhodes once said that Jimmy and Jey Uso were going to be massive stars.
00:37:51And tonight Jey Uso fulfilled that prophecy from Tampa, Florida to Las Vegas, Nevada to the World Heavyweight Championship at
00:38:03the top of the world.
00:38:06You did it, Jey Uso.
00:38:09And look who is in the ring.
00:38:12Brother Jimmy tears in his eyes.
00:38:15Emotion overflowing tonight.
00:38:19There is a reason it's day one-ish.
00:38:25The twin brothers, together through thick and thin, they've had their problems.
00:38:31They've battled each other.
00:38:33They've been at each other's side.
00:38:35But tonight, Jimmy Uso is here to present his brother, Jey, with the most coveted prize, the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:38:55You talk about day one-ish.
00:39:00This is just day one of the Jey Uso era as world champion.
00:39:09We know that Jey Uso's father, the Hall of Famer Rikishi, is somewhere in this stadium tonight.
00:39:15All right, Pat, you remember, and Wade, you were there that night with me, back in Indianapolis, Indiana.
00:39:22The night that Jey Uso won the Royal Rumble, when you and I walked into a bar at our hotel,
00:39:28and Rikishi, Jey's father, was there, and he ran up to us, and he gave us a massive hug,
00:39:34and there were tears in his eyes as he watched his son win the Rumble.
00:39:37You can only imagine what Rikishi is doing tonight, because he can call his son the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:39:54You talk about working your ass off, doing it the right way, winning over every single human in the WWE
00:40:04Universe,
00:40:05and then cashing in on the grandest stage of them all to become world champion.
00:40:11You're talking about a dream come true.
00:40:14You're talking about an iconic storyline that'll live forever.
00:40:18You're talking about a YI documentary that might be about a future GOAT in this industry.
00:40:25Jey Uso's world champ, Cole.
00:40:27Why don't you go on in?
00:40:31Yeet a little bit.
00:40:38Congratulations to the brand new world heavyweight champion.
00:40:44Say it one time, Pat.
00:40:47Yeet.
00:40:50Jey Uso's world champ.
00:41:10I knew we should have stopped back there.
00:41:14Let me talk to you.
00:41:16Jammed up?
00:41:17Yeah.
00:41:18Snap it to a Slim Jim.
00:41:20Oh, yeah.
00:41:24Tear it to the spice.
00:41:28Let's go.
00:41:30Yeah.
00:41:31Snap it to a Slim Jim.
00:41:33Oh, yeah.
00:41:39Like a dream.
00:41:45Oh, yeah.
00:41:48You walked into my life, yes.
00:41:52Like a dream.
00:41:56Will you loved me like a dream?
00:42:00Will you haunt me like a dream?
00:42:16Don't always be me.
00:42:24Tonight belongs to the American nightman.
00:42:31The Queen.
00:42:39Rated T for team.
00:42:48And what a night, Jey Uso, the new World Heavyweight Champion.
00:42:51And the amazing visuals you're seeing tonight at WrestleMania are presented by Fatal Fury, City of the Wolves.
00:42:57Get ready to rev it up in the legendary fighting game, Fatal Fury, City of the Wolves, comes to your
00:43:02PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on April 24th.
00:43:06Man, the celebrities are out in Vegas tonight, Pat.
00:43:11That is right.
00:43:12Shout out to everybody that came through, including nine-time Grammy Award-winning music producer and genius Rick Rubin.
00:43:22Big wrestling fan, massive supporter, as is Criss Angel, host of Mind Freak, currently live at Circus L.A. in
00:43:30Las Vegas.
00:43:31He once saw the man in half and put him back on TV in the same half hour.
00:43:37And, ladies and gentlemen, George Kittle, a six-time Pro Bowler, taking a beer to the face to celebrate his
00:43:49eighth WrestleMania.
00:43:51Oh, my God, Wade, that beer looks so good.
00:43:54You can bring him out with his light.
00:43:56Ariel of courage, reminded by Goodyear.
00:43:59The best seat of the house since 1925.
00:44:01Happy 100th to the Goodyear blimp.
00:44:05I'm still worked up over what Jey Uso accomplished moments ago.
00:44:09Well, the sun sets on the era of positivity and awakens a frightening new day.
00:44:13Toby Kingston and Xavier Woods will take on the War Raiders in a World Tag Team Championship clash.
00:44:18Up next, for now, here's an exclusive look at New Day's pursuit of the titles the War Raiders have held
00:44:24since December.
00:44:26I don't have any friends.
00:44:28I'm going crazy, sir.
00:44:29How did you meet me?
00:44:34When we started this, ten years ago, all we had was each other.
00:44:40Until I am medically cleared to return to this ring, I am going to remind the two of you exactly
00:44:48who you are.
00:44:50You left us.
00:44:52I broke my neck.
00:44:54You chose yourself over us.
00:44:59You are never going to be medically cleared.
00:45:02And since that's the case, why don't you get the hell out of this ring?
00:45:09And get back to your desk where you belong.
00:45:14You chose to be me.
00:45:16You chose to be us, boy.
00:45:22It's a new era of the New Day, and nobody likes them.
00:45:25We came out.
00:45:28I think it's best if you find somewhere else to change.
00:45:31If you don't let us speak.
00:45:34Maternal pride is over.
00:45:36Mom!
00:45:37You know all that we've done is...
00:45:41Xavier Wunsch's family has turned on him because of his actions towards Big E.
00:45:47What are we going to say?
00:45:48I got it!
00:45:49I got it!
00:45:49You didn't tell me you're this man over one day!
00:45:53Boom, gay!
00:45:55You both should be ashamed of yourselves.
00:45:57What are you doing?
00:45:59What are you doing?
00:46:00New Day!
00:46:00New Day!
00:46:01How about everybody?
00:46:03Shut up!
00:46:04You are looking at the greatest tag team to ever step foot in professional wrestling.
00:46:12How about this?
00:46:13Taste of what the New Day is willing to do to get our titles back.
00:46:18We demand what we are owed and what we deserve.
00:46:22And that is a title match for the WWE World Tag Team Championship.
00:46:28It's a New Day!
00:46:33Xavier, Kofi, you run your mouths about how the New Day is the greatest tag team of all time.
00:46:41But the fact of the matter is, the War Raiders have blazed a path of world domination for more than
00:46:48a decade.
00:46:49World Tag Team titles on the line.
00:46:51We had you beat.
00:46:53You took the coward's way out.
00:46:55You knew you couldn't beat us.
00:46:58You say this is about these titles.
00:47:01But it's about more than these championships now.
00:47:04You took this to a whole new level.
00:47:08Because you didn't come for these titles.
00:47:11You came for my neck.
00:47:13Tried to end my career.
00:47:16So at WrestleMania, this isn't gonna be a match.
00:47:20Hell, this isn't even gonna be a fight.
00:47:23This is war.
00:47:28War?
00:47:28It's been war the whole time.
00:47:30But the war path stops at WrestleMania when we take back what belongs to us.
00:47:34And we remind the entire world that your boys, the New Day, are the greatest tag team on the face
00:47:40of planet Earth.
00:47:42Every irrelevant and immature member of the WWE Universe will have no choice but to drop to their knees, raise
00:47:49their hands to the sky, and scream in unison.
00:47:53Thank God for the New Day.
00:48:03It's your boys, the New Day.
00:48:11These guys suck.
00:48:14That's one way to put it.
00:48:38The following contest session for one song.
00:49:04The New Day tonight looking for a record.
00:49:1212th tag team title.
00:49:15Interesting, guys.
00:49:17Xavier Woods is 0-6 at WrestleMania.
00:49:20Kofi Kingston is just 2-13 at the big show.
00:49:25Well, guys, beginning tonight, every superstar performing will wear a commemorative WrestleMania patch.
00:49:31That will be inserted into top trading cards later this year.
00:49:35And beginning on Monday's episode of WWE Raw, any debuting superstar will sport the main roster debut patch, which will
00:49:42similarly be featured in a future set of top WWE trading cards.
00:49:46You never know when you might pull that one of one top trading cards.
00:49:51We're talking about what superstars are wearing to that.
00:49:54How about these outfits from the New Day?
00:49:57First of all, clearly a nod to WrestleMania 9's giant Gonzalez.
00:50:03How did that work out?
00:50:04Can you smell chloroform right now?
00:50:05Keep that on ice.
00:50:06However, look closer at the patch.
00:50:09There is a three-headed unicorn on the backs of both of these men.
00:50:13One of the heads has withered and died.
00:50:16I'm sure we can all figure out who that refers to.
00:50:19Yeah, you were very disrespectful to Big E on the Countdown show earlier today, Wade.
00:50:23I understand the perspective of the New Day.
00:50:25Big E was an albatross around their necks.
00:50:28He had basically turned these guys.
00:50:30George Kittle's mouthing off.
00:50:32I hope George Kittle beats their ass right here right now.
00:50:34This is my security.
00:50:35This is not acceptable at this level.
00:50:38Beat him up, George.
00:50:39This is not an NFL field.
00:50:41Let the ball compete.
00:50:43Wait a minute.
00:50:43You got a match.
00:50:44Wait a minute.
00:50:45George Kittle.
00:50:45You got a match.
00:50:46George Kittle acting like a fan, screaming at the New Day.
00:50:49There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
00:50:51I think he swore at them.
00:50:52That was the problem.
00:50:53You should have punched him, George.
00:50:59You know what time it is.
00:51:06Raw is war.
00:51:10Raiders.
00:51:11It's not Raw.
00:51:12It's Mania.
00:51:13Here's your opponents.
00:51:14And a combined weight of 597 pounds.
00:51:21They are the World Tag Team Champions.
00:51:27Eric and I was the War Raiders.
00:51:35When you see them, you know Mania is Raw.
00:51:40And they are defending the tag titles from Raw.
00:51:43That is World Tag Team Titles.
00:51:45Listen, Eric and Ivar dressed as Clash of Clan characters tonight.
00:51:50Eric is the Barbarian King.
00:51:52Ivar as Pekka.
00:51:55And this is an absolute disgrace.
00:51:57Who are the video game aficionados in WWE?
00:52:00It is the New Day.
00:52:02Up, up, down, down.
00:52:02And even the video game world has turned their backs on one of the greatest tag teams of all time
00:52:09and refused to give them the outfit.
00:52:11I'll tell you what.
00:52:11You go up, up, down, down against the Barbarian King.
00:52:14First hero unlocked at Town Hall 7.
00:52:16Has high damage and can protect the troops with low health.
00:52:19And then you go down to Pekka.
00:52:21It's a robot-like troop with high damage and good armor.
00:52:24So you put those two together, I think the New New Day are in some doo-doo problems.
00:52:29I didn't know you were a gamer.
00:52:31Oh, they could have had Hog Rider out here.
00:52:33It would have been a whole new game.
00:52:35Hog Rider.
00:52:36Did you say put armor on your Pekka?
00:52:39Did I hear that correctly?
00:52:41Pekka is the character.
00:52:42Okay.
00:52:43Barbarian King is the character.
00:52:44Hog Rider is a fast-moving, heavily armored unit that can deal substantial damage.
00:52:50Hey, I've got to do some business.
00:52:51Enough of the things on your Pekka.
00:52:53WWE has invaded Clash of Clans, joining the millions, playing with superstars like Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and The Undertaker.
00:53:00In game today, Clash of Clans, lead your clan to victory.
00:53:04War Raiders defending the titles against the New Day here tonight.
00:53:08Pekka starting this match for the War Raiders.
00:53:10That would actually be Eric.
00:53:12And now the New Day, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods trying to double-team Eric of the War Raiders.
00:53:18Big time right from Xavier that he just laughs at.
00:53:22Eric just powers up Kofi and uses him as a battering ram against Xavier Woods.
00:53:29War Raiders have won the tag titles back in December.
00:53:32Tag mate Ivar is now the legal man.
00:53:35The War Raiders are so damn innovative.
00:53:37Yeah, here's the double-team just dumping Ivar onto both New Day members.
00:53:43And listen, both War Raiders have had major neck surgeries in their career.
00:53:46We've talked about that in the past.
00:53:47That's part of the reason why.
00:53:49They are completely reckless with their own bodies in pursuit of victory.
00:53:53And this does not look good for New Day right out of the blocks.
00:53:56No risk it.
00:53:57No business.
00:53:58It is a running cross body.
00:54:01Well, New Day left pancakes.
00:54:02Now they are a pair of pancakes after that.
00:54:04Well, that's like getting hit by a refrigerator.
00:54:08Absolutely.
00:54:09Tag mate.
00:54:09Here comes Eric of the War Raiders.
00:54:12They're in complete control here.
00:54:14Looking to do a little tag team wrestling.
00:54:16War Raiders.
00:54:16And look at this 330-pound man covered by Eric for the win.
00:54:22Kick out somehow by Xavier Woods.
00:54:26Xavier Woods got 330 points to his face.
00:54:30Not once, but actually twice.
00:54:32And somehow kicked out at two.
00:54:35I hope that our ring announcer, Alicia Taylor, is upset over the fact that Xavier Woods stole her haircut for
00:54:40this match tonight.
00:54:42Yes, you can be inspired by the greats even when everybody hates you.
00:54:45Oh, and look at this.
00:54:47Xavier Woods intercepting Eric.
00:54:49And now the attack is underway.
00:54:52We have it on good authority that into the barricade.
00:54:54And remember the bad neck of Eric.
00:54:56A focal point of the New Day this past week.
00:54:59They're not scared to kind of do anything they got to do to win again.
00:55:02And that's kind of been the MO of this new New Day.
00:55:05Kofi's parents are actually pulling for the War Raiders.
00:55:08A lot of people are taking shots of the New Day because of their treatment of Big E.
00:55:11The truth is they had to change something.
00:55:13Look at this.
00:55:14They've become a nostalgia act.
00:55:16And now right to the back of Eric.
00:55:19And remember, and we're going to harp on this because we have to.
00:55:22The surgically repaired neck of Eric, which almost cost him his wrestling career a number of years ago.
00:55:28Cover now to win the tag titles.
00:55:30Hook of the leg, kick out by Eric at two.
00:55:32Well, tonight is really the acid test for the New Day.
00:55:35Was it a good idea to jettison Big E?
00:55:37Win the titles and all is forgiven.
00:55:40And this is part of the journey for them getting back to championship goal that they have not held in
00:55:46several years.
00:55:47And you know what's interesting, guys?
00:55:49They know each other so well.
00:55:50They've met over a dozen times over the past number of years.
00:55:55It's been a tremendous rivalry between these two teams.
00:55:58I mean, New Day's potential.
00:56:00Oh, look at that.
00:56:01Future Hall of Famers.
00:56:02I think a lot of people would say guaranteed.
00:56:03Off the Famouser.
00:56:04Cover now and a kick out.
00:56:06A lot of people would say guaranteed future Hall of Famers.
00:56:08But with the way they're operating, they might burn enough bridges that nobody wants them into Hall of Fame.
00:56:13But if they win another title in this new era, new version of the New New Day,
00:56:17you're talking about greatest of all time conversations forever.
00:56:19I think you're already there.
00:56:21I mean, they held 11 plus the NXT championship.
00:56:24But it's been over two years since they've been tag titles.
00:56:26Xavier Woods again targeting the back of the neck of Eric.
00:56:30Great strategy by the New Day.
00:56:31Hooks the arm and the leg.
00:56:33And that was a great cover there.
00:56:34Yeah, superb.
00:56:35Tightly hooked.
00:56:36There's a lot left in the tank of Eric.
00:56:38Although that neck of his has surely taken a ton of abuse thus far.
00:56:42And Ivar on the outside desperate to get himself in there.
00:56:48Mocking one of the greatest of all time.
00:56:50Ric Flair.
00:56:52Xavier.
00:56:54Mocking, it's a tribute.
00:56:56Seemed like it.
00:56:57Chopped by a...
00:56:58Woods and now Eric trying to fight back.
00:57:00Desperation time now for Eric.
00:57:03Well, this is why New Day are such specialists.
00:57:05They've completely isolated Eric.
00:57:07Got him on the wrong side of the tracks.
00:57:09And now they're dropping the hammer.
00:57:12Well, now they're going to steal one out of the book of the great Hardy Boys.
00:57:15But Eric catches Kofi Kingston in midair.
00:57:18And drops him right out of the back of Xavier Woods.
00:57:20I mean, the New Day were taking their sweet-ass time there.
00:57:23It was only a matter of time before the War Raiders were able to gain their breath.
00:57:26And Ivar's looking to get in the match.
00:57:28A little bit of arrogance kicking in for the New Day.
00:57:31Starting to showboat too much.
00:57:33Tag.
00:57:33Here comes Ivar.
00:57:34An error.
00:57:35Ivar, the 300-plus power with a big back body drop to Kofi Kingston.
00:57:41Mentioned Kofi's record.
00:57:43Not stellar at WrestleMania.
00:57:44There's the cross body.
00:57:45But he did win a little title here.
00:57:48Kofi Mania, of course, a number of years ago.
00:57:50Just a 330-pound weapon, this guy.
00:57:52How impressive is Ivar when he gets a...
00:57:56Oh, sit down, Kofi.
00:57:57Goes splat.
00:57:58Cartwheel.
00:58:00And down goes Woods.
00:58:02It's an arsenal of moves a guy that big should never, ever possess.
00:58:08Now he's calling for war in Vegas.
00:58:11Back to his feet is Kofi Kingston.
00:58:15Ivar now.
00:58:17Looked Kofi up.
00:58:19Kofi able to get out of it with a kick right to the face.
00:58:22Big heel to the chin there by Kofi.
00:58:25Perfectly placed.
00:58:26Referee Eddie Arengo.
00:58:28Always has a great fade and a great eye on the call.
00:58:31And Big Mets fanless won today.
00:58:32Here's the double team.
00:58:34Watch this.
00:58:34A try to double team.
00:58:36Ivar going to take out both members of the New Day.
00:58:39Well, Ivar really has to do this on his own with Eric down and seemingly out.
00:58:45I would not put it past the big man.
00:58:48Now what's he thinking?
00:58:50It's got to be a scary sight back.
00:58:51Can you imagine?
00:58:52300 plus pounder heading up to the top rope now.
00:58:55And Xavier Woods going to meet him there.
00:58:58He had a bad spot to be staring at those cheeks knowing something bad's coming.
00:59:01And the honor roll by Woods.
00:59:03Just a beat too long for Eric.
00:59:06Excuse me.
00:59:07Ivar as he was going skyward.
00:59:10That's the thing about the New Day.
00:59:12He might be down with the never out.
00:59:14Always on time.
00:59:18Can't focus in on Ivar who had an injury as well.
00:59:21Eric Doe going to pick right out of midair.
00:59:24I'll meet you halfway, Eric says.
00:59:26Xavier Woods knocked out of the ring.
00:59:28Went for a full Nelson.
00:59:30Nice counter by Kofi.
00:59:31Trouble in paradise.
00:59:34Completely cleaning the clock of Eric.
00:59:36Cleaning out the ring.
00:59:38And now it's one on one.
00:59:39Has to turn his attention to Ivar now.
00:59:41Now Kofi catches him with a kick right to the face.
00:59:43Kofi Kingston now.
00:59:45Going up to the top rope.
00:59:45Going to fly.
00:59:47Ivar able to duck underneath.
00:59:48Kofi rolls through.
00:59:49Big spinning heel kick by Ivar.
00:59:52How the hell did he get his knee up that high?
00:59:55Right on time.
00:59:57Kofi's face eats Ivar's knees.
01:00:00Now going for a second bite of the cherry.
01:00:02We've seen this before from the big man.
01:00:05Utter devastation ahead.
01:00:06A doomsday song.
01:00:08They have broken the legs of Kofi.
01:00:10Cover from the top rope.
01:00:12There's the big limit break elbow by Woods.
01:00:16Perfect timing from Xavier Woods.
01:00:18Cover.
01:00:19Almost had him and Ivar had to kick out.
01:00:21What a sequence.
01:00:22I thought the top ropes broke.
01:00:26Check out Ivar here on the top rope.
01:00:28Barely gets over.
01:00:29I think he slipped on the top rope.
01:00:31Just about made it through.
01:00:34But that transition into a pain gave Xavier Woods just enough time to bust that thing wide open.
01:00:41Just an incredible scene in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
01:00:44Over 60,000 here.
01:00:46First night of a two-night WrestleMania.
01:00:48WrestleMania Saturday.
01:00:49This is for the World Tag Titles.
01:00:51The War Raiders against the New Day.
01:00:54War Raiders defending their titles in a brawl here to start this.
01:00:59The last guy you want to be slugging it out with is Big Eric.
01:01:02If you're Xavier Woods, you're never going to win that one.
01:01:06Eric pumped up.
01:01:07Oh, kick right in the midsection by Woods.
01:01:10Xavier Woods, former King of the Ring.
01:01:13Looks for the honor roll again.
01:01:14Eric now finally gets the full Nelson in.
01:01:16And a knee right to the back of the head.
01:01:22Oh, and listen to that kick.
01:01:25He screams in his face as well.
01:01:27Eric's lost his damn mind.
01:01:28Where did he go for a cover there?
01:01:29A great point.
01:01:30I mean, I don't know.
01:01:31He wants more.
01:01:32The war want more.
01:01:33But put him through.
01:01:34So much abuse have the New Day.
01:01:36Now it's punishment time.
01:01:37Oh, and from behind, Kofi Kingston saving Xavier Woods.
01:01:41Eric just lost his mind there, temporarily.
01:01:44Taken over by Rage, but it might be academic now.
01:01:47And double team now.
01:01:48Looking for the war machine.
01:01:49And look at this.
01:01:50Kofi Kingston caused Ibar to lose his balance.
01:01:54He landed on the back of his neck.
01:01:56And it was all behind the referee's back.
01:01:58Nicely done by the New Day.
01:02:00The fix may well be in here.
01:02:02Tag made now.
01:02:03Xavier Woods is now the legal man.
01:02:04Frequent tags by New Day.
01:02:06Bofi with a super genius play.
01:02:07Remember the bad neck as well from the top rope.
01:02:11Woods with some daylight.
01:02:15Cover by Woods.
01:02:17Hook of the leg.
01:02:18Kofi Kingston with the assist.
01:02:20And the New Day win a 12th Tag Team title.
01:02:24Here are your winners and new World Tag Team Champions.
01:02:34The New Day.
01:02:36You know, Wade, to be honest, that was highway robbery.
01:02:39And there's a reason the New Day are running out of Las Vegas.
01:02:42Running like they stole something.
01:02:44Kofi certainly assisted with the pin.
01:02:47But what a win for the new New Day.
01:02:51Re-energized, re-invigorating New Day.
01:02:54But this flying ball hammer to the jaw by Eric.
01:02:59As the War Raiders went on the war path.
01:03:02But hats off to the New Day.
01:03:03They ate everything and kicked on ticking.
01:03:06And this is where Big Eric lost the block completely.
01:03:10Woods close to out cold.
01:03:12And instead of going for that pin, the War Raiders went to finish the job.
01:03:17But too crappy was Kingston on the outside.
01:03:20One day like later.
01:03:22And this is proof positive that jettisoning Big E was the right thing to do for the New New Day.
01:03:30I don't know about any of that.
01:03:31But you obviously saw Kofi get the assist from the outside.
01:03:35And now the GOAT conversation should grow louder for the New Day in the Tag Team world.
01:03:43Wade, you said it earlier how important this match was for the New Day to establish this new image they
01:03:48have.
01:03:48Well, this new image has led them to become the brand new World Pack champs.
01:03:54I told you, just like we said.
01:03:59This April, WWE comes to class.
01:04:24Clash of Mania, Clash of Clans.
01:04:27Play now.
01:04:30Eat a Snickers.
01:04:32Yeet.
01:04:33All right.
01:04:33Great, Jay.
01:04:34One more.
01:04:35But no yeet.
01:04:36Yeet.
01:04:37No yeet.
01:04:37Just the Snickers line.
01:04:38Got some yeet.
01:04:39Okay, Jay.
01:04:40There's no yeet in the script.
01:04:42No yeet.
01:04:42Yeet.
01:04:43No yeet.
01:04:44Yeet.
01:04:44No yeet.
01:04:45Yeet.
01:04:45No yeet.
01:04:46No yeet yeet.
01:04:47No yeet yeet.
01:04:49Yeet.
01:04:50Why do you keep saying yeet?
01:04:52She eat a Snickers, O's.
01:04:57Snickers satisfies.
01:04:59What's the news?

01:06:36A storm brewed between two once close confidence, now mortal enemies, driven apart by envy and betrayal.
01:06:45Up next, Jade Cargill will seek vengeance against Naomi, who seeks to prove her worth in the ring tonight.
01:06:50Let's first examine the shocking turn of events that brought Naomi to turn against her friends
01:06:54for the supposed sake of her livelihood.
01:07:20Look, all I can say at the moment is the investigation is still ongoing.
01:07:25I don't see any other option besides you having to relinquish the tag team players.
01:07:30No, no, I don't want to do that.
01:07:32What are you talking about?
01:07:33No.
01:07:33If she needs a tag team partner, I can step up to the curtain.
01:07:38Yes.
01:07:38Naomi has always had my back.
01:07:40Naomi is standing side by side with her longtime friend, now turned tag team championship partner.
01:07:47We got to move forward with just me and you, but that doesn't mean that we're going to forget about
01:07:50what happened to Jade.
01:07:51You got Nia, Candice, Tiffany, Liv, Raquel.
01:07:54When I find out who did it, it's on sight.
01:07:58There's been a development in the Jade situation.
01:08:11This is the seventh women's elimination chamber match in history.
01:08:16Naomi and Liv Morgan will start things off.
01:08:19A span is coming.
01:08:22Jade Cargill is back.
01:08:24We haven't seen her since she's attacked.
01:08:27Liv Morgan, look at the look on her face.
01:08:31Well, well, well.
01:08:33Say hello to some comeuppance.
01:08:36Wait a minute.
01:08:37What are you doing?
01:08:39Jake has attacked Naomi.
01:08:46Does she believe it was Naomi who attacked her a number of months ago?
01:08:57Not to harp on Naomi much longer, but how did you know that she was the attacker?
01:09:04You know, Kathy, all I can recall is being hit from the back and being thrown on a car.
01:09:11And then as everything grew dark, see you and Naomi just run away.
01:09:15I mean, that was my big sis.
01:09:17I mean, how can you trust anyone after that?
01:09:21I've always been a woman to do the right thing.
01:09:31I did it for you.
01:09:33I did it for us.
01:09:34No, no, no, don't touch me.
01:09:38Me and you, we're done.
01:09:44Now that you're back, Bianca won't even look at me.
01:09:48You tried to take me out because of your own insecurities.
01:09:53Bianca!
01:09:55I'm not just angry.
01:09:57I'm pissed.
01:09:59When I think about all that I've sacrificed, all that I've given, and that's what really breaks my heart.
01:10:08Time has run out.
01:10:11This will be mine!
01:10:13This WrestleMania, the glow is fading.
01:10:16At WrestleMania, I strongly advise you.
01:10:19I'm your biggest threat.
01:10:20To proceed, because a thorn with is coming.
01:10:25Caution!
01:10:35Caution!
01:10:36You better watch out here.
01:10:42Watch out.
01:10:56The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:11:01Introducing first, from Orlando, Florida, Mayumi!
01:11:10Oh, wait, if Jade Cargill has her way tonight, they're going to be putting caution tape around a crime scene
01:11:15that Naomi's going to be in the middle of.
01:11:18Well, it's a pretty rare of way that Jade Cargill has had her own way, in large part due to
01:11:24the actions of this woman,
01:11:26who, far from being part of the big three, was often treated as the third wheel, as part of the
01:11:32big two.
01:11:33Thanks, you know, to the behavior of Jade Cargill.
01:11:35You know, jealousy, isn't that one of the seven deadly sins?
01:11:38I don't know about any of those, but I do know, like, there's been the times of the past...
01:11:42Committed all of them, right?
01:11:43Nancy Kerrigan, absolutely nod, and there was a kicker that was stabbed one time in training camp.
01:11:49There are sometimes people that will attack within their own team, so that they will have a chance to succeed.
01:11:56And that's seemingly what happened when Naomi, she made a play.
01:11:58Is that to you?
01:11:59No, thank God.
01:12:02Good teammates.
01:12:03Some would want to.
01:12:04Ladies and gentlemen,

01:12:29So good.
01:12:30So delicious.
01:12:33Shout out to Nissen.
01:12:41Hey, guys, we are just outside of Nissen Stadium near the site of WrestleMania 41.
01:12:47This is a perfect day.
01:12:48Sunny skies, calm winds, just an occasional light breeze.
01:12:54But wait a minute.
01:12:55The winds are starting to pick up a little bit.
01:12:59Clouds are moving in, and they're moving in fast.
01:13:02Uh-oh.
01:13:02I hear thunder.
01:13:04I hear thunder.
01:13:04Lightning, lightning off in the distance now.
01:13:07It's getting stormy out here.
01:13:08Rain.
01:13:09Wait, that's rain with hail now.
01:13:11Holy smoke.
01:13:12It is escalating quickly out here.
01:13:14It is time to take some cover.
01:13:23Jim Tantore.
01:13:24Hey, Sam.
01:13:26He's graduated from yourself.
01:13:30He's very accurate at calling weather systems and storms.
01:13:36There's a major storm of ruin in Vegas.
01:13:43It was a good jumper.
01:13:44It was a good jumper in duels, isn't it?
01:13:45Why do you always have to ruin everything?
01:13:49Well, the metaphor just didn't work.
01:13:51It definitely works.
01:13:53You feel that aura that has just pounded you right in the face.
01:13:57Wade Barrett.
01:13:58That's the storm that Jade brings everywhere.
01:14:01She goes.
01:14:02She is one mad woman.
01:14:07Attacked by Naomi.
01:14:10Cost of the tag titles.
01:14:12Naomi playing off this whole boo-hoo-hoo act.
01:14:15Oh, she took me away from my friend, Bianca.
01:14:19Poor me.
01:14:20Poor me.
01:14:20What she wanted was to get the tag team title.
01:14:23That's all this is about for Naomi.
01:14:28And for opponent, Romero beats Florida.
01:14:37Jade Cardkill.
01:14:39Go ahead, Barrett.
01:14:39I know you're waiting to eat me up now.
01:14:41Listen, when the milk turns sour in any of your friendships,
01:14:46you should be the one to pour it away.
01:14:48Don't be the pussycat that goes ahead and drinks it.
01:14:51And I applaud the fact that Naomi saw this issue growing with Jade Cardkill
01:14:57and was the first one to strike.
01:14:59Next is the one.
01:15:00Yeah, you have a lot of knowledge about that.
01:15:03I made sure I never had friends in my career.
01:15:06That's why nobody ever stabbed me in the back.
01:15:08Here we go.
01:15:09Naomi and Jade Cardkill one-on-one tonight.
01:15:11This is the singles debut at WrestleMania for that woman,
01:15:15the impressive Jade Cardkill.
01:15:17We're underway and immediately takes Naomi off her feet
01:15:20and Cardkill pounding away.
01:15:21This will not be pretty, Wade.
01:15:23Yeah, well, physically,
01:15:24Jade Cardkill has absolutely no weaknesses whatsoever.
01:15:28However, emotionally,
01:15:30issues have been exploited in the past.
01:15:33And right out of the blocks,
01:15:34Jade Cardkill has seemingly lost the plot.
01:15:37You know, Pat, it was a nice feel.
01:15:39It was last year where Jade made her WrestleMania debut
01:15:42when she teamed with both Bianca and Naomi
01:15:45in a big victory over damage control.
01:15:48And it felt like the entire world stopped at that moment.
01:15:51She was on a run on the rise.
01:15:53And then somebody ran her over with a car,
01:15:55tried to kill her.
01:15:56This is the 10th match of the career in WrestleMania for Naomi.
01:16:02Obviously, a lot more experience.
01:16:04I believe she actually threw her through a window, Pat,
01:16:07but nonetheless...
01:16:07Oh, that's on me.
01:16:08I apologize.
01:16:09Get your point.
01:16:10That's on me.
01:16:10Still trying to kill her.
01:16:11This isn't a Rikishi situation here.
01:16:13Yeah, there's the problem.
01:16:14Even though Naomi may have learned that from Rikishi,
01:16:17you get the point.
01:16:18All of the experience of Naomi here at WrestleMania.
01:16:21She's had a massive career.
01:16:23It's been 15 years plus.
01:16:24She's won world championships,
01:16:26yet she was seen as the C-level player.
01:16:29In whose eyes?
01:16:30Maybe in your eyes.
01:16:31Yeah, maybe in your eyes.
01:16:32She might have felt like that.
01:16:33Nobody viewed her like that.
01:16:34Certain commentators...
01:16:35Oh, Naomi!
01:16:36Ripped into the barricade.
01:16:39And this really has been a storm from the off,
01:16:41and things are really going south from Naomi from the word go.
01:16:45Wait, as an in-ring performer,
01:16:47what impresses you about Jade Cargate?
01:16:50Well, it's the physicality of the woman.
01:16:51She is like an apparition of an angel
01:16:54has appeared in there,
01:16:55perfectly built for combat.
01:16:58Oh, goodness!
01:16:59However, I don't care how many hours you spend in the gym,
01:17:01you cannot protect the eyeballs.
01:17:02She's an angel.
01:17:03I want her to be my guardian,
01:17:04as Naomi catches her right in the side of the face.
01:17:08Absolute superstar,
01:17:09but Naomi's been here, done that a lot.
01:17:12Dragging straight outside the ring,
01:17:14and...
01:17:15Oh, face first to that X-Factor!
01:17:17And here's the deal.
01:17:18That strike by Naomi sums up
01:17:21that she has been completely underestimated by many,
01:17:24including Jade Cargill.
01:17:26This is not the Funkadactyl version of Naomi
01:17:29like she's often been treated.
01:17:31This is a top-level superstar
01:17:33who's about to smash some Jade Cargill.
01:17:36And now Naomi right to the arm of Jade,
01:17:39and this time dropping her to the floor again.
01:17:41And again, Naomi almost like she was waiting for her moment,
01:17:45not getting out of control early on.
01:17:47I'm gonna ride on that early storm.
01:17:49Nice.
01:17:50She created this moment, obviously,
01:17:51made a decision.
01:17:52She's waiting for her moment,
01:17:54as she did wait out the storm.
01:17:55Great work out of waiting.
01:17:56And Jin Cantori.
01:18:00Naomi in control.
01:18:01And Naomi taking her time now,
01:18:03and...
01:18:03Oh, nice blockbuster by Naomi outside the ring.
01:18:06Everything's so smooth and easy right now for Naomi.
01:18:09And here's the truth of this situation between these two.
01:18:11It really isn't as black and white
01:18:13as it's often been painted.
01:18:15Both women do feel like they are in the right.
01:18:17Neither woman, though, is here just to win.
01:18:20They're here to wipe a rival off the face of the planet.
01:18:22And again, great takedown by Naomi.
01:18:24Face first.
01:18:24Looking to pick up a win here over Cargill at WrestleMania.
01:18:27And a kick out.
01:18:28A win for Naomi means what tonight, Wade?
01:18:31Well, it's justification.
01:18:33It's proof that you were never the B-level player
01:18:35or the C-level player surrounded by others.
01:18:38You are, in fact, the top woman around here.
01:18:40What does a loss mean for Jade Cargill, Pat?
01:18:43What the hell?
01:18:43Come on, Naomi.
01:18:44I think a loss for Jade Cargill would be problematic
01:18:46for Jade going forward.
01:18:47She has all the incentive in the world to get the win.
01:18:50All the revenge is on her side.
01:18:52The momentum, motivation, the power, everything.
01:18:54They try to channel the emotion into a victory tonight,
01:18:57but Naomi right now is dominating.
01:18:59Well, have you ever seen a more confident version of Naomi?
01:19:02The 15-plus years that we've been watching her,
01:19:05she's always been the quiet, fairly timid woman
01:19:08who's allowed others to take the glow and take the spotlight.
01:19:11Naomi has grown before our eyes over the past three or four months.
01:19:15Again, Naomi into the cover on Cargill for the win, hooks the leg.
01:19:19Jade is able to kick a two near fall.
01:19:21Complete control here.
01:19:22Matriculating through the match, Naomi.
01:19:25Leg drop.
01:19:26Let's test to see where she's at.
01:19:27Kick out.
01:19:28Okay.
01:19:28We'll go back to the jaw and to the neck a little bit.
01:19:30Interesting submission here being applied from Naomi to Jade Cargill.
01:19:34Almost beating Jade down right now.
01:19:38Pretty good.
01:19:38Jade trying to battle out of this.
01:19:40Here are part of the issues for Jade Cargill who simply doesn't have the same in-ring experience as Naomi.
01:19:46And right to the back of the leg.
01:19:47And to your point, Wade, what a great counter.
01:19:50Yeah, the experience Jade Cargill does has often been alongside.
01:19:54And to Bianca Belair.
01:19:56But physically, there's still something left in Jade Cargill.
01:20:00How much remains to be seen.
01:20:02What a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker in the power of Cargill.
01:20:06And that's the power that we all saw at night one.
01:20:09That's what it does.
01:20:10Jade Cargill is going to be in the WWE for a long time.
01:20:14And now Cargill starting to build momentum as over 60,000 looked on in Las Vegas.
01:20:19Jade Cargill, the powerhouse, just sends Naomi across the ring.
01:20:23That power is just a God-given gift.
01:20:26Also a lot of hard work.
01:20:28Spends hours and hours in the gym.
01:20:31Very explosive.
01:20:33Seemingly originates from a plane higher than humanity.
01:20:37Naomi, though, able to get the foot up and stop the momentum, at least momentarily, of Jade.
01:20:41Naomi now to the second rope.
01:20:44Look for a blockbuster again.
01:20:46Jade picked it right out of midair.
01:20:48You've got to be kidding me.
01:20:49Into a running power slam.
01:20:51Naomi somehow gets the shoulder up.
01:20:53That was insane.
01:20:55I'm blown away by the fact that you can catch a human being flying at you from that angle.
01:21:01Stack it vertically and turn it into a jackhammer.
01:21:04And somehow Naomi kicked out.
01:21:06And now with Naomi up on her shoulders, able to slip behind.
01:21:10Physics-wise, I have no idea how she was able to do that.
01:21:13And a big foot down goes Naomi.
01:21:15That was incredible.
01:21:16Superhuman strength from Jade Cargill.
01:21:20Jade is fired up.
01:21:23Retribution time against Naomi here tonight.
01:21:27Smart once again from Naomi.
