00:00:26New York City
00:00:30Weighing in at 249 pounds, Damian Priest.
00:00:40Damian Priest has been in one other chamber match in his career,
00:00:44but he knows how important it is to win this match tonight and get to WrestleMania.
00:00:49He knows the magic of WrestleMania.
00:00:52Last year, he cashed in the Money in the Bank briefcase on Drew McIntyre
00:00:56to win the World Championship on the grandest stage of all.
00:01:01He also eliminated Drew McIntyre from this year's Royal Rumble,
00:01:05and Drew has not stopped banging on about it ever since.
00:01:09Desperate to get his hands on the former World Heavyweight Champion,
00:01:14the pride of Puerto Rico himself, Damian Priest.
00:01:27The man who is now a key part of Friday night's SmackDown.
00:01:32As you mentioned, the former senior money in the bank,
00:01:36a man who knows how to get business done in the biggest moments.
00:01:41Well, it doesn't come much bigger than the Elimination Chamber
00:01:45and the prize for the winner of going off the challenge, Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania.
00:01:51This is the 23rd year there's been a men's Elimination Chamber match.
00:01:56The first one, of course, dating back in 2002.
00:01:59The return of the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels,
00:02:03to win the championship that night
00:02:05in a legendary moment in Elimination Chamber history.
00:02:09Triple H has the record with four wins inside the Elimination Chamber.
00:02:17The record for most eliminations held by Chris Jericho,
00:02:20the man who invented this matchup.
00:02:50The first one, of course, dating back in 2002.
00:03:08Making his weight in the ring.
00:03:10From Chicago, Illinois.
00:03:13Weighted at 218 pounds.
00:03:17CM Punk.
00:03:22It has been 13 years since CM Punk has stepped inside the elimination chamber.
00:03:31Back in 2012, he actually won this match.
00:03:36And now he's trying to earn the opportunity to face Cody Rhodes for the title.
00:03:41It would be his first world title match in 12 years.
00:03:46You know, I talked to Punk about this weight on the kickoff show yesterday.
00:03:50He's never made a bet at WrestleMania in his career.
00:03:52And I mentioned to Punk, as he gets older, the window shrinks and is getting smaller.
00:03:57He may be running out of time.
00:03:58I agree with you on that.
00:03:59And one of the main reasons CM Punk left WWE for over 10 years at one point was the fact
00:04:07that in his eyes,
00:04:08he was not given opportunities to main event Wrestlemania.
00:04:13Well, now your destiny is in your own hands, CM Punk.
00:04:16And there can be no complaints after tonight.
00:04:21CM Punk is eliminated in the Rumble match by that man, Logan Paul.
00:04:28I mean, let's just say it how it is.
00:04:29It's a must win for CM Punk.
00:04:32Oh, you mentioned that window closing.
00:04:34I would argue that CM Punk, at least per the eyeball test, is in the best condition physically of his
00:04:43entire career.
00:04:45And the athletic performances in the latter half of 2024 backed that up.
00:04:50I agree 100%.
00:04:52Look what he did to Drew McIntyre inside hell in a cell.
00:04:57A combination of an unbelievable rivalry.
00:04:59That is the absolute ultimate test.
00:05:02To be athletically sharper at the age of 46 than you were at 26 is unheard of in top-level
00:05:09athletics.
00:05:10But Punk has done that.
00:05:32There's a vibe in here tonight, too.
00:05:35There's a vibe in here tonight.
00:05:58Let's pave the way to the dance.
00:06:02Let's do it, baby.
00:06:04Time to go to work.
00:06:08Next, from West Newbury, Massachusetts, weighing in at 251 pounds, John Cena!
00:06:25The Gulf is here.
00:06:28John Cena has 10 months left in his WWE career.
00:06:37His final match inside Elimination Chamber.
00:06:42John Cena has won three Chamber matches in his career tied to Daniel Bryan.
00:06:48Second of all time.
00:06:50One win behind the game.
00:06:52Triple H.
00:06:53Cena wins tonight and he pulls off the miracle.
00:06:56He goes to WrestleMania to face Cody Rhodes in an opportunity.
00:07:00And a 17th and a 17th and record-breaking World Championship.
00:07:06You got your chaps getting ready, Michael.
00:07:08I already have it.
00:07:09Now you're like kissing some John Cena ass.
00:07:12Yeah.
00:07:12Your lips are blistering.
00:07:14This.
00:07:14This evening.
00:07:16This evening.
00:07:53Next, from Ayrs, Scotland, weighing in at 275 pounds, Drew McIntyre.
00:08:07Drew McIntyre is the defending champion inside Elimination Chamber.
00:08:13He won last year and went on to WrestleMania, beat Seth Rollins for the world title.
00:08:19Held it for five minutes, 34 seconds before Damian Priest cast in the Money in the Bank.
00:08:25Twice in his career, Wade, McIntyre has won this event.
00:08:28It could be the odds-on favorite.
00:08:31Win the Elimination Chamber, go and main event WrestleMania and win the WWE Championship.
00:08:37All things McIntyre has done before.
00:08:41However, he's drawn the short score tonight in the Elimination Chamber.
00:08:46And if he is going to go and do that once again, he has to do it from the very
00:08:50beginning of this match.
00:08:52Yeah, and he'll start the match up against Seth Rollins, the man he battled for the world title at WrestleMania
00:08:57last year.
00:08:58And, guys, McIntyre has been very vocal about what he wants to do to John Cena in this match here
00:09:04tonight.
00:09:05Has not forgotten how Cena has dominated the scene back when McIntyre and also yourself, Wade Barrett, came up here
00:09:12in WWE.
00:09:13Yeah, there's certainly some burning issues inside McIntyre with regards to John Cena.
00:09:18And let's not forget, five men had to qualify for this nomination.
00:09:23Oh, and look at this.
00:09:24Long-time rivalry between these two.
00:09:27There's an obsession on one side.
00:09:30Go back and make your point.
00:09:31Well, my point was that five men in this match as a qualified one man, John Cena, got a freebie,
00:09:38which has irritated those two men we just saw, Drew McIntyre and CM Punk more than anyone else.
00:09:45And I understand it.
00:09:46For me, it shows severe favoritism from management towards John Cena.
00:09:51First off, there's the man who eliminated through in the Rumble, Damian Priest.
00:09:55But if you get back to your point, listen, if there's one man in the history of this industry
00:09:58that earned the opportunity to say, I want to be in the Chamber match because it's best for business,
00:10:02it's John Cena, a 16-time world champion, the greatest of all time.
00:10:06For 20 straight years, this man was on top of the business.
00:10:09He gave everything he had to be here in WWE.
00:10:12And now he's paying back for this retirement tour to the great fans across the globe.
00:10:16Oh, get that chapstick out, man.
00:10:18If we're going to do that for John Cena, why don't we just invite Stone Cold, Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan,
00:10:24and whoever else you can list.
00:10:26This coming from the man who tried to end John Cena's career when he was in the prime of it,
00:10:32with you and the silly group Nexus.
00:10:33Well, if I'd have managed the job, he wouldn't be in the Chamber tonight, and this problem would go away.
00:10:37So I apologize, Planet Earth.
00:10:58And from Dappenport, Iowa, we did, at 225 pounds,
00:11:06Seth Brinkin' Rollins!
00:11:28The man that has done it all, but has never won an Elimination Chamber.
00:11:36Well, this match is presented by Nissen Hot and Spicy Firewalk.
00:11:40Every bowl or bag you buy is another entry into the Kenya Handle of the Heat.
00:11:45Sweepstakes, another chance to win a trip to WrestleMania 41.
00:11:48Learn more at nissinfoods.com.
00:11:59Great shot of CM Punk contemplating the next hour or so of his life.
00:12:05Now, as we mentioned, both Drew McIntyre and Seth Brinkin' Rollins are going to kick this thing off.
00:12:11Or perhaps the most ardent haters of CM Punk on planet Earth.
00:12:17Yeah, it is borderline obsession for Seth Rollins in the way that he feels about CM Punk.
00:12:24Punk just lets it roll off his back.
00:12:26Nothing bothers the man.
00:12:28And that just irritates Seth Brinkin' Rollins even more.
00:12:33CM Punk is a lifelong antagonist.
00:12:38But he does it with a certain panache, I must admit.
00:12:46Seth Brinkin' Rollins wearing a great pair of Jays here tonight at the Elimination Chamber.
00:12:54McIntyre-Rollins will start things off at regularly scheduled intervals.
00:12:59The pod will open and the next man will enter.
00:13:02When you're eliminated via pinfall or submission, you head back to the locker room.
00:13:05Last man standing is going to WrestleMania.
00:13:08Take on Cody Rhodes in the main event of the undisputed WWE Championship.
00:13:13A lot of history weighed between these two men.
00:13:16Yeah, you're right.
00:13:17You mentioned it earlier.
00:13:18They were competing for the World Heavyweight Championship at last year's WrestleMania.
00:13:23They won a marquee matchup this year.
00:13:26Almost a Claymore attempt there.
00:13:28And then a stomp attempt by Rollins.
00:13:30Remember McIntyre and what happened to him here in Toronto at Money in the Bank last year, Wade?
00:13:35It involved Rollins.
00:13:36It involved Punk.
00:13:37It was an absolute meltdown in the post-show area.
00:13:41Yeah, you've almost got to fight with your old friend.
00:13:44Seth Rollins now hammers away on McIntyre.
00:13:47McIntyre.
00:13:48That's a bite or a gouge with the eyes on McIntyre.
00:13:52And again, no rules in this matchup.
00:13:55Qualifications, countouts don't happen.
00:13:57Ropes don't cause breaks.
00:13:59Chamber can be used as a weapon.
00:14:01We saw a tremendous women's elimination match earlier tonight.
00:14:05Won by Bianca Belair.
00:14:06She'll face either Rhea Ripley or Io Scott for the women's world title at WrestleMania.
00:14:12Every shot you take here early is going to linger with you for the rest of the match.
00:14:15Yeah, and historically, Seth Rollins has had a multitude of back injuries.
00:14:21McIntyre knows that better than anybody and has immediately targeted that spine.
00:14:26And it's an easy win for McIntyre when you're surrounded by so much steel.
00:14:31And as McIntyre continues to punish Rollins, I do want to make one other note on the...
00:14:38Shoving his face through the chain link.
00:14:44Incredibly uncomfortable, Isu.
00:14:46Oh, and one other note on the situation in the women's match.
00:14:48Our reporters have been trying to get some information, trying to track down Jade Cargill,
00:14:53get information on Naomi after the attack earlier tonight.
00:14:57No such luck.
00:15:00As Punk continues to bark at McIntyre.
00:15:04McIntyre is so massive.
00:15:05He's such an intimidator.
00:15:06But CM Punk's doing so...
00:15:08No signs of fear.
00:15:10And McIntyre, with that distraction,
00:15:12has allowed Rollins back into this thing.
00:15:15They just broke the chamber.
00:15:16A light fell off on the inside with the force of Drew McIntyre's body.
00:15:20Hit it.
00:15:21They're right down to this.
00:15:22And CM Punk is just egging Rollins' arm.
00:15:26Well, he's sport for choice on who he wants to talk.
00:15:29Does he talk Rollins?
00:15:30Does he talk Drew McIntyre?
00:15:32Here's an idea.
00:15:33Concentrate on the guy in the ring.
00:15:34Punk means nothing to you right now.
00:15:36Is that freaking Rollins' been a world champion?
00:15:38He's a revolutionary.
00:15:40Rollins now launching himself off the top rope.
00:15:42And that knee caught McIntyre.
00:15:43Now Rollins looking for a big kick again.
00:15:47McIntyre's down.
00:15:47Cover.
00:15:48To eliminate Drew and a kick out.
00:15:53Logan Paul's over here drawing on his chamber.
00:15:58He actually has a marker, Pat.
00:16:00You're right.
00:16:01He's actually drawing graffiti on his chamber here.
00:16:05One side says OVO.
00:16:07Who knows what the other side says.
00:16:08But humble, it says.
00:16:10Okay.
00:16:10Humble and OVO.
00:16:11Obviously, Logan Paul's letting the world know.
00:16:13He's having a good time out here.
00:16:15Rollins up over the top.
00:16:17McIntyre.
00:16:18Nice backbreaker by Drew.
00:16:19Cover now.
00:16:20To try to eliminate Seth.
00:16:21And a kick out.
00:16:22Again, so much pressure on everyone in this match.
00:16:25An opportunity to main event WrestleMania.
00:16:27For the most prestigious prize in the industry.
00:16:30The undisputed WWE title.
00:16:32And speaking of that.
00:16:33Cody still has a decision to make tonight, guys.
00:16:36Oh, yeah.
00:16:37We understand that Cody Rhodes is still contemplating what to do about The Rock's offer.
00:16:43So, deep down, he knows.
00:16:45Yeah, he already has the answer.
00:16:47We're just waiting to find out.
00:16:49Massive career consequences either way for Cody Rhodes, as indeed for the six competitors in this elimination chamber before our
00:16:57eyes.
00:17:01That's two times now.
00:17:03Seth's been dropped on the outside on the steel.
00:17:06Structure so well constructed.
00:17:09Causing damage.
00:17:11Anywhere you look to the bodies of these people.
00:17:13Let me ask you, Cole.
00:17:14The guy who built the coal mine 15 years ago, is it the same guy who built the elimination chamber?
00:17:20Yeah, it was.
00:17:20And nobody ever got in it.
00:17:22Except Jerry at WrestleMania.
00:17:23But nonetheless, McIntyre now sending Seth Rollins across the ring.
00:17:28Oh, and a big kick right to the midsection of Seth.
00:17:30There's great reaction there from McIntyre, as nimble as they come, despite that massive 270 pounds of snarling anger and
00:17:38vitriol.
00:17:43Exposing the...
00:17:44And you can hear Punk in the background.
00:17:46Turn the phone for this.
00:17:49Slingshot.
00:17:49Oh, no.
00:17:50Right into the exposed steel, the pass point.
00:17:53Right onto that trachea of Seth freaking Rollins, whose athleticism sets him apart from the pack.
00:18:01It's been quite a beat down here, Seth Rollins by Drew McIntyre.
00:18:05Or the throat to his layman.
00:18:07I'm a scientist, Bob.
00:18:09You are.
00:18:10Marine biology.
00:18:11Trying to school you up, you know.
00:18:12Who's going to be the third of the matchup?
00:18:23Here comes the Punisher.
00:18:25Damian Priest enters the chamber.
00:18:31McIntyre and Priest now make their home on Friday nights.
00:18:34On the USA Network of the States, Netflix internationally.
00:18:38Friday nights, SmackDown.
00:18:40And now Priest and McIntyre exchanging blows in the center of the ring.
00:18:44Meantime, right.
00:18:45We're going to need a lot of no retainer after this match.
00:18:47Two biggest dudes in the chamber.
00:18:50McIntyre has been living ever since the Royal Rumble and his elimination at the hands of the Street King.
00:18:55Martial arts expert Priest can deliver a kick and a punch into a keyhole and back into the court.
00:19:03Damian Priest, former member of the Judgment Day.
00:19:07Oh, and SmackDown trying to earn his way to WrestleMania.
00:19:10Flatliner by Priest, followed it up with a clothesline.
00:19:13Just the sheer punishment from the off.
00:19:15From the Punisher of SmackDown himself, Damian Priest.
00:19:19Priest just so powerful.
00:19:21Hey, yo.
00:19:22Look over the razor's edge, paying homage to his...
00:19:26His idol.
00:19:27The late, great razor, Ramon.
00:19:31Everybody loves a bad guy, especially in the elimination chamber.
00:19:35Who's in machismo?
00:19:37And Priest now.
00:19:39Oh, and he runs right in.
00:19:40There's another Glossco kiss.
00:19:42The headbutt by McIntyre.
00:19:43Great reactions from McIntyre.
00:19:45Now a neckbreaker.
00:19:46By McIntyre.
00:19:50And a kip up now by Drew.
00:19:53Too big to be doing that stuff.
00:19:56Oh, we've described this man before as a Terminator.
00:20:00Great veteran, Wiles here.
00:20:02Absolute machine.
00:20:05Calling for a Claymore.
00:20:07Rollins beats him with a kick to the face.
00:20:09Yeah, too much danger.
00:20:10Too many angles to cover.
00:20:11Wait a second.
00:20:13From the south of heaven.
00:20:13And Rollins lands on his feet.
00:20:15Kick right to the knee now by Seth.
00:20:16Now a kick to the face.
00:20:18There's that otherworldly athleticism of Seth Rollins that is the ultimate equalizer.
00:20:23By Buster.
00:20:23By McIntyre.
00:20:25He's looking to stomp Damien Priest.
00:20:27Drew McIntyre's spine bust him in half.
00:20:30Rollins down.
00:20:32Sent into Priest.
00:20:33Covered by McIntyre to eliminate Seth.
00:20:36And a kick out by Rollins.
00:20:37And I've been impressed with the pacing of Drew McIntyre thus far.
00:20:41He knows he has to go the distance if he's going to win this thing.
00:20:45He has a hair-trigger temper.
00:20:47He's pretty much kept it under wraps.
00:20:49And he's paced himself perfectly thus far.
00:20:52You can't blow yourself up in the first ten minutes of this thing.
00:20:56The men in the chamber have been treating it differently.
00:20:58CM Punk chilling.
00:20:59Logan Paul warming up.
00:21:00John Cena seemingly in the match already.
00:21:03And Wade Baird, of course, knows what he's talking about.
00:21:06He's been in three of the dangerous matches in his career.
00:21:10So hard to win one of these things, isn't it?
00:21:12So hard to get a single elimination in my case.
00:21:15This thing is absolute torture.
00:21:17Rollins top rope now.
00:21:18Look at the core strength.
00:21:19The McIntyre!
00:21:20But I'll tell you right now, all of the chambers that I were in
00:21:24were never a star studded with the caliber of competitors we have here tonight.
00:21:29Every single one of these men,
00:21:32bona fide main event at WrestleMania tier.
00:21:35But any one of them's getting it.
00:21:38Oh, I mean, the fourth man headed the chamber.
00:21:51The Maverick!
00:21:53Logan Paul enters the chamber for the second time in his career.
00:21:57Much to the chagrin of the crowd here in Toronto.
00:22:01Love him or loathe him.
00:22:03He's always appointment viewing.
00:22:05Because of this!
00:22:07Off the top rope, cross body, springboard cover on McIntyre.
00:22:11Logan Paul almost eliminated Drew.
00:22:14That's an absolute natural at this game.
00:22:16And that infuriates those of us who've had to work for years!
00:22:20Bendy Moonsault cover now on Threes for the win in a kickout.
00:22:23Wade, have you ever, did anyone take to the business as quickly as someone like Logan Paul?
00:22:29Absolutely not.
00:22:30It's unheard of.
00:22:31He's had about 10 to 15 matches in his entire career
00:22:35and has competed and held his own against the likes of Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns,
00:22:41and the list keeps on growing.
00:22:43And he's never once locked out of his desk!
00:22:45Oh!
00:22:45Great move by Logan Paul off the neckbreaker.
00:22:47Cover now on Rollins.
00:22:49Hooks the leg.
00:22:50Kick out at two.
00:22:51If you talk to Logan, he said he's right where he's supposed to be
00:22:54amongst these world champions in this elimination chamber.
00:22:57Pat, you're one of those guys that exploded on the scene,
00:22:59had a couple of great matches early on.
00:23:01And it's pretty amazing what Paul's doing.
00:23:03Absolutely, the durability, the evolution,
00:23:06continuing to only get better and better!
00:23:11Some ringing in Logan's ears now as he's set up over the top rope,
00:23:15but now Damian Priest, who's no interest in Logan Paul's podcast
00:23:22or anything else he's doing.
00:23:24Damian in the prime of his career.
00:23:28See what you did there?
00:23:29And now a big shot by Priest.
00:23:31Look, a lot of these outsiders to our industry,
00:23:34they come along, they have a match or two,
00:23:36and then they've gone because it is so damn painful in there.
00:23:40Logan Paul knows all about that.
00:23:42We can see it right before our eyes,
00:23:45but he continues to compete.
00:23:47And I talked to Triple H,
00:23:48who again has a record of four victories
00:23:52inside elimination chamber.
00:23:54He said, you just can't calculate how many months and years
00:23:57that this match will take off your career.
00:24:00As you see Priest now.
00:24:03Days of the Hall of Famer, the Undertaker.
00:24:05What?
00:24:06Undertaker never did that!
00:24:07Hurricane Rana by Priest!
00:24:10I wonder why Take never did a hurricane Rana
00:24:12with a big right from Logan Paul!
00:24:15Yeah, that titanium-loaded right hand of Logan Paul struck there.
00:24:21The biggest puncher in the game.
00:24:23He and his brother rule the fight game,
00:24:26and that's just one of the gifts that Logan Paul has.
00:24:31Logan Paul!
00:24:32Logan Paul!
00:24:34Logan Paul!
00:24:35Logan Paul!
00:24:35Logan Paul!
00:24:35Logan now measuring Rollins,
00:24:36who catches it with a kick.
00:24:38Logan got a bit overzealous.
00:24:39Coming out by Seth for the elimination.
00:24:41Logan just stays alive.
00:24:42Logan is looking for another massive right
00:24:44to put Seth Rollins out of the elimination chamber.
00:24:48I'm going to telegraph it a little bit too much,
00:24:50especially amongst the vets here in this match.
00:24:53Cena and Punk remain locked in the pod.
00:24:55He will be number five.
00:24:56There's no elimination yet in this match.
00:25:00I see him, Punk and Cena, chomping at the fit
00:25:04to get into the action.
00:25:09Here comes John Cena.
00:25:11John Cena enters the final elimination match of his career.
00:25:16Ten months from A until he retires from WWE.
00:25:20Couple of shorter tackles by Cena.
00:25:23And A-8 to Price!
00:25:25Turned back the clock!
00:25:27John Cena takes that call!
00:25:29And the GOAT is on a roll!
00:25:32With an A-8 to Rollins!
00:25:46John Cena with a five-knuckle shuffle!
00:25:52And Cena now, with Logan Paul up,
00:25:56Cena looks to put him away!
00:25:57The attitude adjustment!
00:26:01And McIntyre with a climb on!
00:26:03That could be it for Cena's last time!
00:26:07And now Priest, throw it on McIntyre!
00:26:10And he got it, man!
00:26:12And I'll explain to you what happened there.
00:26:16Drew McIntyre has been eliminated!
00:26:21What happened there, Wade, is McIntyre has made such a point over the last
00:26:24number of weeks that he wanted to embarrass, that he wanted to eliminate,
00:26:28that he wanted to take out John Cena.
00:26:29He turned his attention after the Claymore to John,
00:26:32who had rolled under the bottom rope,
00:26:33and Priest took advantage.
00:26:36Massive mental mistake by Drew McIntyre.
00:26:39And we're about to see a meltdown of epic proportions!
00:26:42McIntyre...
00:26:43Playmore to Priest!
00:26:45McIntyre's been eliminated!
00:26:46Get him out of the damn chamber, Chad!
00:26:48This is classic Drew McIntyre.
00:26:50Takes his eye off the ball, gets distracted, gets eliminated,
00:26:53and now throws a tantrum!
00:26:55So, Wade, who's he gonna blame now?
00:26:56Who's Drew gonna blame now?
00:26:57Is he gonna blame you, Wade?
00:26:59Come on, Wade!
00:26:59Is he gonna blame Paul's excuses?
00:27:01We're gonna focus back on the matchup here,
00:27:03and worry about Drew McIntyre a little later,
00:27:05but that was a disaster for the Scottish Warrior,
00:27:08and there will be hell to pay, I promise you,
00:27:10for Damian Priest after that elimination once again.
00:27:14Wait a minute, Logan Paul, top rope,
00:27:15Logan Paul's going to the top of the pod!
00:27:20Logan Paul from the top of the pod!
00:27:23And the Maverick with a frog splash to Priest!
00:27:27Priest may be hurt!
00:27:28Here's the cover!
00:27:29And he got him!
00:27:30Logan Paul eliminated Damian Priest!
00:27:34What a frog splash!
00:27:36Damian Priest has been eliminated!
00:27:40What a frog splash from the top of the chamber!
00:27:43In a space of about 60 seconds,
00:27:45the complexion of the match changed!
00:27:47With two eliminations!
00:27:49First, McIntyre,
00:27:50and this spotlight addict,
00:27:53Logan Paul,
00:27:54hitting the frog splash,
00:27:56bang to the ribs of the Street King,
00:27:58who is gone!
00:27:59Well, there are four men left to this match,
00:28:02Punk has yet to enter,
00:28:03he will in 15 seconds!
00:28:05Logan Paul's in there!
00:28:06John Cena's in there!
00:28:08Seth Rollins is in there!
00:28:10And now Punk,
00:28:11who was eliminated by Logan Paul,
00:28:14now!
00:28:17Doors open,
00:28:18here comes Punk,
00:28:19Punk goes out to Paul,
00:28:20and we're on the way!
00:28:22Everybody's into the matchup!
00:28:23Two eliminations thus far!
00:28:24One of these four men are going to WrestleMania!
00:28:27Punk's been waiting since Rumble for this!
00:28:29to watch the Paul outside!
00:28:34Sam Punk has not had a world title match in 12 years!
00:28:39And a big running knee to Logan Paul!
00:28:42He's drawn the luckiest number in this match,
00:28:44number six!
00:28:46Clearly the freshest man,
00:28:48your destiny,
00:28:49is in your hands, Punk!
00:28:50Yeah, the man who's never made a man in WrestleMania!
00:28:53And he'll never get a better opportunity
00:28:54than the one that has been presented to him now!
00:28:58Carcasses lying around the ring,
00:28:59there's three men to beat,
00:29:01and all three look to be down,
00:29:04and perhaps out!
00:29:08Punk is fired up!
00:29:11The hell is CM Punk up to here?
00:29:14He's pointing at the WrestleMania sign,
00:29:16Wade,
00:29:17that's where Punk believes he's gonna go,
00:29:19to face Cody Rhodes for the championship!
00:29:22There's another man who believes he's headed there too!
00:29:25That's John Cena!
00:29:26If you can see him,
00:29:28he sees his future!
00:29:31Future?
00:29:31This is also the past!
00:29:33John Cena and CM Punk
00:29:35had one of the most amazing rivalries of all time!
00:29:39Battling for the championship!
00:29:41The night that Punk won
00:29:42and walked out of Chicago with the title!
00:29:45Legendary stuff between these two men!
00:29:47Only one of them can go to Mania!
00:29:49Only one of them can main event!
00:29:51Will Cena get an opportunity in the 17th title?
00:29:54Will Punk main event Mania
00:29:55for the very first time!
00:29:58The chamber is yours, boys!
00:30:00Oh!
00:30:01Seth Rollins!
00:30:03The man that is absolutely obsessed with CM Punk!
00:30:07And now John Cena!
00:30:09Uh-oh!
00:30:10He's mine!
00:30:11I know you've been gone a long time,
00:30:13but you go back and film some more movies!
00:30:15His ass is mine!
00:30:17Stay out of it!
00:30:20Continue the Elimination Chamber match, Seth!
00:30:23That's not how this works at all, Rollins!
00:30:26And he knows that!
00:30:27Seth Rollins now!
00:30:28Put him in the pedigree on John Cena!
00:30:30Cena able to get out of it!
00:30:31Rollins up top!
00:30:32Seth Rollins now fights out of the AA!
00:30:34Rollins delivers her right hand!
00:30:36Cena with the right of his own!
00:30:43Come on!
00:30:59Meanwhile, Logan Paul takes advantage with the double-close line!
00:31:03Man, he is so wise beyond his years, isn't he?
00:31:06Yeah, it's all about time in a move like that!
00:31:08The athletic potential, of course, we know is there!
00:31:11The timing, though, is something else!
00:31:13Wait till your opponents drop their guard,
00:31:15and then hit this!
00:31:16And there it is!
00:31:17Oh, went for it!
00:31:18Punk able to counter!
00:31:20Went for a neckbreaker!
00:31:21Big slap to Paul now!
00:31:22And now, CM Punk promised that Paul was gonna go to sleep!
00:31:26GTS connects!
00:31:28Punk covers!
00:31:29And we are down to three!
00:31:34Logan Paul has been eliminated!
00:31:43Thought there was a chance Logan Paul was gonna win the Elimination Chamber
00:31:47and head to WrestleMania!
00:31:48That's what Logan Paul does, but instead,
00:31:51exactly what CM Punk said was gonna happen, happened!
00:31:55CM Punk out here, burying the dreams of the Maverick!
00:32:00And now, with two more victories in this match,
00:32:04CM Punk goes to the main event of WrestleMania!
00:32:09The men inside this ring have held 26 world championships among them!
00:32:18Last time, CM Punk was a world champion!
00:32:21Eggs were $1.91 a dozen!
00:32:23It's been a hell of a long time, Michael Cole!
00:32:26How much are they now?
00:32:27Well, there was no bird flu then, either!
00:32:28About $12, I think!
00:32:30$12!
00:32:31$12 a dozen, I think!
00:32:33You actually...
00:32:34I don't do the shopping!
00:32:35My missus does the shopping!
00:32:36An egg is a dollar?
00:32:38I buy the beers, she buys the eggs, exactly!
00:32:40Incredible moment inside the Elimination Chamber!
00:32:43Three all-time greats!
00:32:44I guarantee you that all three of these men will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
00:32:49when all is said and done!
00:32:54The WWE Universe trying to figure out who...
00:33:00They're gonna chant for him!
00:33:04Cena has made it clear.
00:33:06He has 10 months left.
00:33:08He's had a lot of miles on this road.
00:33:11The demand has been more than ever.
00:33:12Cena has been told in so many different directions over the past couple of years.
00:33:16He understands that tonight is an uphill battle.
00:33:19But get John Cena...
00:33:20At least Stahl, Father Kind here tonight.
00:33:24Or will CM Punk made him in his first Wrestlemania?
00:33:27Or will Seth Rollins return to the world title picture?
00:33:30What is this?
00:33:31It is a double cage!
00:33:34It is a double cage!
00:33:35Phantom of Oz to Canada!
00:33:37Little heart attack right there.
00:33:39Executed to perfection.
00:33:45Now we can get down!
00:33:57John Cena's journey to the end began in the city of Toronto last summer.
00:34:03He turned the world with money to make that 2025 would be his retirement tour.
00:34:09He returns to the city tonight with an opportunity to get back to Wrestlemania and perhaps win a 17th in
00:34:19record-setting world title.
00:34:21Brunson hasn't won at Wrestlemania in eight years.
00:34:25Hell yeah!
00:34:30Absolute total respect before the punches fly.
00:34:34And here we go!
00:34:35Punk and Cena!
00:34:36Moving such a fabric of this company in many different ways over the past couple of decades.
00:34:42Punk!
00:34:43Go!
00:34:45Punk!
00:34:47Punk!
00:34:50Punk!
00:34:50Punk!
00:34:51Punk!
00:34:51Punk!
00:34:52Punk!
00:34:54Punk!
00:34:55Punk!
00:34:55Punk!
00:34:55Punk!
00:34:55Punk!
00:34:55Punk!
00:34:57Punk!
00:34:59Punk!
00:35:02Punk!
00:35:04Punk!
00:35:23Punk went for the kick, John Cena able to turn it around, went after a half grab, Punk
00:35:29able to turn onto his back, kicks Cena back toward the corner, John now in position for
00:35:33the GTS, Punk went for the go to sleep, Cena counters, Cena counters, center of the ring,
00:35:40STF coming, there's Punk in a tap, there's no other way out than a reversal for CM Punk,
00:35:49no road breaks, nothing can help you, how badly do you want this Wrestlemania mode of end Punk?
00:35:56Does John Cena have a little bit of magic left? Is Punk gonna tap?
00:36:01It's locked in tight, I've been in this before, sheer agony, but Punk winning his way out of
00:36:08that thing!
00:36:08And now it'll be Anaconda Vice, Punk looking for the vice, looking to tap Cena out now,
00:36:13CM Punk with the Anaconda Vice locked in, what is Cena gonna do?
00:36:18Now Rolster's shoulders down, great move by John, forces the break, so much at stake,
00:36:24neither man willing to give any quarter!
00:36:27That was Vintage Punk there, with that swinging neckbreaker.
00:36:31Vintage Cena, Vintage Punk, you're talking about perfection in here, at the Elimination
00:36:36Chamber.
00:36:37Two of the best in history, rolling back the clock, rolling back the years to try and
00:36:43achieve what they believe is their destiny!
00:36:46Punk now to the top rope, CM Punk, we're gonna take out John Cena, meanwhile set Rollins back
00:36:50to his feet, and Punk turns his attention to Rollins, to take Rollins out again.
00:36:55Good idea by CM Punk.
00:36:57Well you've got John Cena down, put him away for good!
00:37:01Punk now off the top rope, John Cena, roll through!
00:37:05No way!
00:37:06We're gonna talk about Vintage, the powerful John Cena, powering Punk up!
00:37:11In the middle of the A.A.A.
00:37:15And a kind of adjustment!
00:37:17Come on John!
00:37:18Come on Punk!
00:37:19Punk has got a goal!
00:37:26John Cena has looked stupendous this evening.
00:37:30Well CM Punk has shown that dogged determination, refusal to be denied in the overwhelming might
00:37:38of John Cena, pulling out his greatest hits, perhaps his greatest hit of them all, the attitude
00:37:46adjustment, landing flush on the spine of Punk, but Punk is not going down without a major
00:37:54fight, not with Wrestlemania on the line.
00:37:5738,493 on hand, John Cena, is he at the point of desperation when he could not put Punk
00:38:04away with the attitude adjustment, and now Rollins, as John Cena took a little bit too
00:38:09much time, trying to get to the top rope, John not comfortable up there for a lot of his
00:38:13career, and now Seth Rollins turns his attention to John, and tries to end John's dream.
00:38:18Rollins, looking for a buckle bomb, into the chamber!
00:38:26Oh!
00:38:27Through the pod!
00:38:30And now perhaps Seth Rollins gets what he really wants, a little breathing room, and
00:38:40an opportunity to start slaying some bodies!
00:38:44Yeah, the opportunity to get back at the man, that he really wants to get his hands on, Wade.
00:38:50Now there's been two major moments in this match where Seth Rollins has allowed himself
00:38:55to get completely distracted by the presence of CM Punk, now he can really do some damage!
00:39:02But Wade, now he can turn his attention to your point to Rollins, with Cena out of the
00:39:05equation for now, Rollins can completely turn his obsession to CM Punk.
00:39:11A CM Punk who is in a complete heap, a mess in that ring!
00:39:16And Punk now, throwing Rollins up, shoulders are down, almost had him!
00:39:21Rollins kick to the midsection, went to the pedigree, Punk going to the GTS!
00:39:26Rollins rake in the eyes, pedigree by Rollins!
00:39:31Right in the middle of the ring, cover now!
00:39:33Pulling down to two, no, kick by Punk!
00:39:37Wow, hats off to CM Punk, showing the kind of durability that could well propel him to victory!
00:39:45He's been in an STF, he's taken an attitude adjustment, and now a pedigree, and somehow
00:39:51the dreams of Punk, and his millions of fans on planet Earth, live on perhaps by a thread,
00:39:58but yes, they're still alive!
00:40:03Is that freaking Rollins?
00:40:05And again, turn his attention to the man that he hates more than anybody on this planet, CM Punk!
00:40:12Standing over top of CM Punk, alpha-ing CM Punk!
00:40:16Punk returned a year and a half ago, Rollins made it pretty plain and clear he didn't want Punk here!
00:40:21Never forget what Punk said about his company and about him when he left!
00:40:25And now Rollins, outside the ring, looking in CM Punk with a pedigree!
00:40:29Punk, though, able to backdrop Seth back into the ring!
00:40:31Yeah, that would have been over, had Punk's cranium connected on that steel on the outside of the chamber with
00:40:38a pedigree!
00:40:40No one's kicking out of that!
00:40:42Punk realized it, got out of there!
00:40:44And now, with the wind in his sails, looking to put Seth away!
00:40:50Yeah, but Seth back to his feet, Rollins climbs the rope up top!
00:40:55Rollins now, with the superplex, Punk dropped him on his face!
00:41:00Punk was, like, waiting for that from Seth Rican Rollins!
00:41:02And now CM Punk, from up top!
00:41:06Oh yeah!
00:41:06He'll deliver the elbow!
00:41:08To Rollins!
00:41:10Punk may have hurt himself as well!
00:41:12Dream always rises to the top!
00:41:14Remember, Seth Rollins started this match!
00:41:18Cena and Punk entered five and six!
00:41:22CM Punk looking to put Seth Rican Rollins to sleep like he did Logan Paul!
00:41:27Now lifting up Rollins up for the GTS!
00:41:29Rollins, though, looking to slip out yet again!
00:41:31And he does!
00:41:32Rolls through!
00:41:33Punk's shoulders are down!
00:41:34Stacks him up!
00:41:35Wait a minute!
00:41:38Rollins gonna power Punk up!
00:41:40And then...
00:41:41Deliver a buckle bump!
00:41:43Oh!
00:41:44In position for the stop!
00:41:49Rollins into the cover!
00:41:52Uncaught for the win!
00:41:53And a kick out at call by Punk!
00:41:55And Rollins now is incensed!
00:42:00This is what CM Punk can do!
00:42:02He can take your best shot and still kick out!
00:42:06It's why he's the best in the world!
00:42:08Seth Rican Rollins needs to keep the foot on the gas!
00:42:11Well, CM Punk has taken about five best shots already in this matchup!
00:42:18The moniker best in the world carries some real weight once again in the year 2025!
00:42:26And I got a question Seth Rollins here in a moment about his strategy as Rollins now is heading up
00:42:32to the second rope!
00:42:34Maybe looking for a super stomp on CM Punk!
00:42:37John Cena quickly back into the rink!
00:42:39Seth Rollins now up on his shoulders!
00:42:41John Cena now!
00:42:43Cena looking for an AA!
00:42:44Seth trying to fight out of this!
00:42:46See a Punk now!
00:42:47With Rollins up!
00:42:48We're going to sleep!
00:42:51Into a...
00:42:52AA!
00:42:54Cover by Punk!
00:42:55One, two, three!
00:42:57We are down to Punk and Cena!
00:42:59And the point I was going to make was this!
00:43:03Seth Rollins has been eliminated!
00:43:06When Rollins sent Cena through the pot, he had a golden opportunity with John out for a number of minutes
00:43:11to drag him to the ring way and make the cover and put Cena away!
00:43:16He didn't do that!
00:43:17He turned his attention to Punk and this obsession with Punk just cost Seth Rollins this match!
00:43:22It's bitterness and animosity!
00:43:2415 years of hatred inside Seth Rollins has cost him!
00:43:29On three separate occasions in this matchup, Seth Rollins' egos got in his way of victory!
00:43:37And now...
00:43:39Cena and CM Punk!
00:43:42Both viewing tonight...
00:43:45Let us turn back the cross pack!
00:43:48As a necessary win!
00:43:49Some 15 years!
00:43:52To one of the great rivalries in WWE history!
00:44:01Oh no!
00:44:02Cena got picked out of the air!
00:44:03Oh!
00:44:04GTS!
00:44:05Going to sleep!
00:44:06Oh John!
00:44:07John stays in it!
00:44:08John wanted to shake CM Punk's hand!
00:44:10We've already had that part John!
00:44:12Never drop your guard!
00:44:14You are inches, millimeters away from WrestleMania!
00:44:19Zeta!
00:44:20AA to Punk!
00:44:22Cover!
00:44:22For John!
00:44:23To go to WrestleMania!
00:44:24Pod kicked out!
00:44:262.99!
00:44:3099999!
00:44:312 combatants running on fumes driven on nothing but the pursuit of glory of what they see as their destiny!
00:44:432 legends!
00:44:442 icons!
00:44:452 hall of famers!
00:44:471 shot at WrestleMania!
00:44:50Cena now trying to drag Punk!
00:44:52Punk trying to fight out of this!
00:44:53Remember Rope don't force any sort of break but they give you some relief like Punk showed there!
00:44:58They give you some leverage!
00:45:00Oh wait!
00:45:01Oh a stomp!
00:45:02Oh god!
00:45:02A stomp by Seth Rollins!
00:45:05A stomp onto the steel outside!
00:45:08They just beat it out!
00:45:09A desperate Cena!
00:45:10A desperate Cena!
00:45:11Dragging Punk!
00:45:12Center of the ring!
00:45:14STF is in!
00:45:16Rollins with a stomp to Punk!
00:45:18Punk is fading!
00:45:19CM Punk is fading!
00:45:23Punk trying to survive!
00:45:24Rollins looking on!
00:45:30Punk's fading in!
00:45:32Punk's fading in!
00:45:32Punk may be out!
00:45:33There's no fight in him!
00:45:34The officials right there!
00:45:36Chuck Rollins just smirked the impact!
00:45:40John Cena going to WrestleMania!
00:45:44Here is your winner!
00:45:49John Cena!
00:45:52John Cena!
00:45:54has tied Triple H with his fourth win inside Elimination Chamber!
00:46:03And now ladies and gentlemen, the face of that generation will face the face of this generation at WrestleMania!
00:46:15Mania!
00:46:16Well the smiles do not tell the full story on how this one went down!
00:46:21Let's go back and watch some of the carnage we witnessed a little earlier!
00:46:26Got messy immediately and then the big hitter Logan Paul started chewing up the opposition!
00:46:32Throwing the Street King around with abandon!
00:46:36Not Logan Paul was going to be able to steal it!
00:46:42But instead...
00:46:46He catches an attitude adjustment!
00:46:49And Drew McIntyre would play more Cena!
00:46:53Damian Priest would do a quick roll up!
00:46:56But again guys, this match is so much about personal rivalries and obsession!
00:47:01Drew's obsession with Cena cost him!
00:47:03His egos getting in the way but once again a spotlight highlight reel moment from the Maverick!
00:47:10Getting Priest out of this match and then we were down to four!
00:47:15And things were looking so good for Logan Paul until he met himself!
00:47:21A go to sleep courtesy of CM Punk right to the point of the draw!
00:47:27You ain't getting up on that one pal!
00:47:28And then Seth Rollins would make a critical error!
00:47:32He had John Cena out to lunch when he put Cena through the pod!
00:47:37But didn't take advantage!
00:47:39A heart attack!
00:47:41To the heart foundation!
00:47:45And again this is the point I was making right here guys!
00:47:49Seth Rollins drives Cena through the pod!
00:47:52Cena was down and out!
00:47:53Seth could have put Cena away here!
00:47:55But his obsession with Punk cost him!
00:47:57And you're bitter when you're angry!
00:47:59You can't have a strategy because your vision is clouded by red mist!
00:48:04It looked like Seth Rollins had got the job done against his most bitter of nemesis CM Punk!
00:48:11Until CM Punk proved he's still made a different stuff than the rest of them!
00:48:19And then Seth Rollins, well he'd be eliminated by his arch nemesis!
00:48:24CM Punk and John Cena with an AA!
00:48:28The ultimate 1-2 combo!
00:48:31Seth Rollins was done!
00:48:33But it would appear not quite dusted in this one!
00:48:37And just when CM Punk was getting involved with John Cena!
00:48:42Out of nowhere comes the stunt!
00:48:45The head of Punk connected with his steel on the outside of the chamber!
00:48:49Leaving the easiest task in the world to John Cena!
00:48:54John Cena desperate to make it to WrestleMania's main event for a final time in his career!
00:48:59Would take advantage of the stunt!
00:49:01And lock in the STF!
00:49:03And as Seth Rollins looked on!
00:49:05John Cena punched his ticket!
00:49:07To WrestleMania!
00:49:11To WrestleMania!
00:49:27John looked good!
00:49:28John looked great!
00:49:30And John's headed!
00:49:31To WrestleMania!
00:49:34And an opportunity!
00:49:36The 7th House of War!
00:49:39To win a 17th world title!
00:49:42From this man!
00:49:55I'm set in my soul!
00:49:59Every spot I'm out of control!
00:50:02Do it all to get them off the beat
00:50:08Crowd is here, about to flow
00:50:11Waiting for me to start the show
00:50:14Africa's lights go up from home
00:50:18Whoa!
00:50:21I was dead
00:50:24When all was over
00:50:26I was a free man
00:50:32You took it all away, I gave it all away
00:50:36Can't take my freedom
00:50:38Can't take the game, I better play
00:50:41I'm gonna fight here
00:50:44Now you're about to be
00:50:47Biggest night of the American Nightmare's life
00:50:51So far, we ain't still the end
00:50:54I am a candle
00:50:56Lights go down, I'm ready now
00:50:59Stand up this roof off for the town
00:51:02Gonna give what they can't see
00:51:08Hear the crowd, all the girls
00:51:11Waiting for me to start the show
00:51:14Africa's lights go up from home
00:51:19Whoa!
00:51:21My father's dead
00:51:24When all was over
00:51:27I'm glad you did it
00:51:29I respect the hell out of you
00:51:31But I don't know how much money
00:51:33From Wrestlemania
00:51:35I know
00:51:36They know it
00:51:37They know it's you
00:51:38And me
00:51:39At Wrestlemania
00:51:40And they know it's gonna be a throwdown
00:51:42For the championship
00:51:50Of course, man
00:51:52Of course
00:51:53No, no, no, no
00:51:55I gotta beat somebody
00:52:11It was so
00:52:13You can't
00:52:13This is why
00:52:15This is why
00:52:16This is why
00:52:17This is why
00:52:19Well, it's
00:52:19False
00:52:24Trying
00:52:25You
00:52:27Oh, my God.
00:53:02Oh, my God.
00:53:27Oh, my God.
00:53:28Oh, my God.
00:53:29Oh, my God.
00:53:39Oh, my God.
00:53:43You can just feel it in here, man.
00:53:45Special. Power.
00:53:51Star power.
00:53:53Call it what it is.
00:53:55All under one roof.
00:54:13Big decision for that man.
00:54:16You can see the splash pouring out of Cody Rhodes.
00:54:22Consequences whichever way you turn.
00:54:28John Cena who had an incredible two-year rivalry with The Rock.
00:54:49He's got a selfie.
00:54:51He's got a selfie.
00:54:53He's got a selfie.
00:55:04He's got a selfie.
00:55:05He's got a selfie.
00:55:07He's got a selfie.
00:55:34He's got a selfie.
00:56:17Cody Rhodes, the moment has arrived.
00:56:26I will open my arms.
00:56:29You will come to me.
00:56:30You will embrace me as your brother.
00:56:36And I will embrace you as my champion.
00:56:45I want it all, Cody.
00:56:48I want your mind.
00:56:51I want your soul.
00:56:54And God have mercy.
00:56:56I need your soul.
00:57:00If the answer is yes, then the American nightmare will live forever.
00:57:13Look me in the eyes.
00:57:17If your answer is no, then tonight the dream dies.
00:57:29Again.
00:57:40CM Punk in the...
00:57:44Out goes Reigns for the win.
00:57:53Looking for the anaconda.
00:58:05I want it all, Rock.
00:58:15My soul.
00:58:26And you know why?
00:58:34Because I gave my soul to this ring and these people a long time ago.
00:58:48Hey, Rock.
00:58:50Go fuck yourself.
00:58:56Dave Rollins.
00:58:59The way to...
00:59:02One man out as quickly as you can.
00:59:05Figure out who the weakest guy is.
00:59:07Get him out of the ring.
00:59:07Don't focus all...
00:59:11Personal animosity.
00:59:13Forces Rollins to go back to Punk.
00:59:20By Rollins.
00:59:22Such a devastating...
00:59:29And now Rollins...
00:59:35Trying to hang on.
00:59:36And another buckle ball by Seth.
00:59:43And a Scott.
00:59:45One of the most shocking things I've ever heard said in the history of saying things.
00:59:53There's so much...
00:59:54There's so much talk about what...
00:59:56Talk about what...
00:59:59And what...
01:00:00And what Roman Reigns have accomplished.
01:00:02Roman Reigns have accomplished.
01:00:04Well, you cannot rest on this man, Seth Rollins.
01:00:08An unbelievably great WrestleMania performer over the years.
01:00:12A great champion.
01:00:14And a very concerned Paul Heyman in front of us at ringside.
01:00:18As Rollins now.
01:00:20Went for a pedigree.
01:00:22Hook looking for a GTS.
01:00:24Spare!
01:00:27Out of the way.
01:00:29And now with Reigns hooked.
01:00:32Went for the pedigree again.
01:00:33Back body drop.
01:00:34Rollins lands on his feet.
01:00:36Went for the spear.
01:00:37Pedigree!
01:00:41Pedigree!
01:00:42Pedigree!
01:00:42By Rollins!
01:00:43Pedigree!
01:00:44Looking for the stomp!
01:00:45Stomp the Rays!
01:00:46Rollins!
01:00:48Gets rid of...
01:00:49CM Punk!
01:00:51Cover!
01:00:52Rollins!
01:00:52For the win!
01:00:54Reigns is still in it!
01:00:56Oh my god!
01:00:58Seth Rollins did literally everything he was supposed to do there.
01:01:03Watch this!
01:01:04Catches a spear.
01:01:06Turns it to a pedigree.
01:01:08Followed it up.
01:01:10With the killer blow.
01:01:11The stomp.
01:01:12You have to clear Punk out here.
01:01:14Here's the issue.
01:01:15Get Punk out of the ring so he can't break it up.
01:01:17That beat though was all it took for Roman Reigns to just, just kick out in the nick of time.
01:01:24Meanwhile, Paul Heyman's new gravy train.
01:01:28CM Punk is lying here.
01:01:30Hasn't moved.
01:01:31Right in front of Heyman's face at ringside.
01:01:33While Rollins and Reigns remain in the ring.
01:01:36Heyman's been pouting a lot.
01:01:38There's nothing going the way he likes it.
01:01:40Oh god, this durability, the athleticism, the speed of thought of Seth Rollins.
01:01:46The thing that has taken him to the very pinnacle of this industry.
01:01:50It's coming up trumps at the right moment.
01:01:52The architect division.
01:01:53Up top, Roman Reigns is in trouble.
01:01:55Rollins now making it to the top rope.
01:01:58Battered.
01:01:59Late in this match.
01:02:01Took his time to get up there.
01:02:02Seth Rollins going for a bro.
01:02:05Nobody home rolls through.
01:02:06Punk catches him.
01:02:08CM Punk looking for a go to sleep.
01:02:10Spear to Rollins.
01:02:16Punk.
01:02:17Go to sleep to Roman Reigns.
01:02:20For a win in the main event.
01:02:22Kick out by Roman.
01:02:27Planet Earth cannot believe their eyes.
01:02:30Paul Heyman is distraught at ringside.
01:02:35That was CM Punk's moment.
01:02:40The spear front dodging out of the way.
01:02:43Connecting.
01:02:45Taking Seth Rollins out of the equation.
01:02:47Followed up by the sweetest GTS you will ever see.
01:02:53But Roman Reigns, as we know, he's just a bit too special.
01:03:00CM Punk had his Wrestlemania moment.
01:03:04And somehow, Roman Reigns kicks out.
01:03:07Now the fight continues on the outside.
01:03:11CM Punk like he had the plug pulled on him.
01:03:14With that kick out from Roman Reigns.
01:03:16And Punk now center of the ring with Reigns.
01:03:18CM Punk is rolling now.
01:03:20Heyman, his demeanor's changed.
01:03:23Another go to sleep.
01:03:25Time to count some sheep.
01:03:30Big frame of a massive tribal chief.
01:03:33And at this point in the match, Punk struggled a little there.
01:03:37Category.
01:03:41Cover.
01:03:45All three of these men showing massive signs of wear and tear
01:03:50as we get into the deepest of deep water
01:03:53in this Wrestlemania Saturday main event.
01:03:57All three of them have had moments where they were walking out of here
01:04:00with their hand raised.
01:04:01All three of them have had moments where they're a one, two, three.
01:04:04This is going anybody's way.
01:04:06This audience completely split between these three.
01:04:09You don't know.
01:04:11You never know.
01:04:13That's why I'm here.
01:04:15You're without him.
01:04:16You're without me.
01:04:18You're without Mark.
01:04:19You're without your bloodline.
01:04:20Of course you don't know.
01:04:23Listen to me.
01:04:25Listen to me.
01:04:29He doesn't belong here.
01:04:31He doesn't belong here.
01:04:33He doesn't belong here.
01:04:35It should be you and me.
01:04:37He's the outsider.
01:04:39We put him down.
01:04:41And he's done.
01:04:43He's the dead man.
01:04:45You feel me?
01:04:46You feel me?
01:04:48You feel me?
01:04:49Rollins finally explained to Reigns that the greater good
01:04:52is to take out the cancer of CF.
01:04:54And Rollins now takes the fight to Punk here at ringside.
01:04:58And now Seth Rollins looking at our announce table
01:05:01going to start clearing things out.
01:05:02All right.
01:05:09Will Reigns and Rollins work together?
01:05:12Well, your question now is Seth Rollins even looking for victory?
01:05:16Or is he looking to punish CF Punk?
01:05:19Is this just retribution?
01:05:20Hey, look at Reigns.
01:05:21Wait.
01:05:21You got to look at Roman Reigns.
01:05:22He is so torn here.
01:05:23He doesn't know what to do.
01:05:25Does he team with Rollins?
01:05:26Does he?
01:05:27Does he?
01:05:27He's looking back at Heyman.
01:05:28He's looking at Punk.
01:05:29Are we getting some deja vu?
01:05:34Oh, here we go.
01:05:38Shield Bob coming.
01:05:45Going old school tonight.
01:05:48The ultimate throwback.
01:05:52Oh!
01:05:54He said, get out of here.
01:05:55And Reigns said, I'm going to do it myself, damn it.
01:06:06I didn't know this table could break.
01:06:09Punk is out.
01:06:10Reigns turns his attention now to Rollins.
01:06:13A defenseless Seth Rollins who got sucker punched.
01:06:18Oh, look out.
01:06:19Look out.
01:06:20Pack it up.
01:06:20Hell on the way.
01:06:21Reigns with mentions in his eyes.
01:06:24Reigns to the table.
01:06:26Oh, Trimble Chief is cleaning out.
01:06:29Roman Reigns destroyed everything in his path.
01:06:39Spear!
01:06:41Reigns for the win!
01:06:44Rollins kicked out a two and a half!
01:06:47Damn it, you gotta be kidding me!
01:06:49How?
01:06:50How cold?
01:06:55Take a look at this.
01:06:57Seth freaking Rollins who thought he pulled out an ace.
01:07:01It backfired.
01:07:03The table power slam.
01:07:06The spear that should have got it done.
01:07:09But this is a main event of Wrestlemania.
01:07:12And if anyone can dig deeper the most, it's Seth freaking Rollins.
01:07:17And incredibly, this match continues.
01:07:22We all thought it was over.
01:07:23We all thought our travel chief had his one to the sky.
01:07:26But somehow Seth freaking Rollins fights off.
01:07:29Look out, look out, look out.
01:07:31Roman Reigns.
01:07:33Who calls for a favor, huh?
01:07:37Roman Reigns has not forgot about Paul Heyman.
01:07:40Oh, not at all.
01:07:41Roman Reigns felt betrayed.
01:07:44Punk stepped back into the ring.
01:07:45And how sweet would it be if Roman Reigns put CM Punk to the sword in front of his turncoat,
01:07:53former wise man.
01:07:54By the way, Heyman, this is all your fault.
01:07:57This is all your fault, Paul.
01:08:00Roman Reigns now.
01:08:02Look at a choke out Punk as Heyman looks on.
01:08:06Look at a choke out Punk as Heyman looks on.
01:08:10Standing guillotine as the second City Saint fades in the biggest moment of his career.
01:08:18Oh, no, Punk.
01:08:19No.
01:08:20No, Roman Reigns locks it in deeper.
01:08:22He's down now, his shoulders down, the Rod Zapata's there.
01:08:24Roman's got his shoulders up.
01:08:26Triangle's still locked in.
01:08:27Is Punk going to tap out?
01:08:28Looked like Punk was close to tapping.
01:08:30Turns it around into a cover.
01:08:32Forces Roman to break.
01:08:33And now Punk looking for the vise, perhaps.
01:08:36Wow, Punk was able to get out of that guillotine, and now he's...
01:08:38Oh, God, what a transition.
01:08:40Great transition by Punk to Anaconda vise.
01:08:42Remember, ropes do not cause a break.
01:08:44Submission, perhaps, to Roman Reigns.
01:08:46Punk with Heyman looking on.
01:08:48CM Punk trying to get Reigns to tap.
01:08:51Come on, Roman.
01:08:54Tentacle moment in this match, and Seth Rollins back and ball.
01:08:58It was Seth in, get in there.
01:08:59This wall was over.
01:09:01And Rollins...
01:09:03Rollins trying to turn things around into...
01:09:07Looking for a sharpshooter here.
01:09:09Center of the ring.
01:09:10His Punk to tap.
01:09:12His Punk to tap.
01:09:15The best in the world, tapping out to the best there is, the best there was,
01:09:19and the best there ever will be shots of.
01:09:22WrestleMania mortal moment.
01:09:23It's a double whammy.
01:09:25The agony, the torture of this move.
01:09:27Combined with the fact you simply cannot breathe in there.
01:09:30Punk may pass out.
01:09:32Roman Reigns, though, trying to get back into this match.
01:09:34Punk still has not tapped.
01:09:35And now Roman Reigns turns things around.
01:09:38And Roman gonna try to choke out Rollins.
01:09:43Guillotine.
01:09:45Rollins trying to get back to a vertical base.
01:09:47Oh, this is ridiculous power from Rollins, but how the hell do you get out of that?
01:09:51Those legs are clasped around the midsection.
01:09:54Oh, my goodness, what a suplex.
01:09:56Shoulders down now.
01:09:58Reigns has got a kick out.
01:09:59Still got them locked in.
01:10:01Still has not released the choke hold on Rollins.
01:10:05And Roman Reigns with a berserk look in his eye.
01:10:09Oh, and a stop by Punk.
01:10:13And now see a Punk with a go to sleep to Rollins.
01:10:19Cover.
01:10:21The main event continues.
01:10:29These men are not mortals.
01:10:36When you take your biggest shots, and they simply bounce off, you turn to despair, and that
01:10:44is the dark bit in the mind of CM Punk, he now has to overcome.
01:10:49There is no surrender in any of these three great warriors.
01:10:54Paul Heyman on the outside looks completely lost.
01:10:57He looks like he's given up.
01:11:00CM Punk, this is the main event of WrestleMania.
01:11:02This is what you fought your entire life for.
01:11:05Where does he go after this?
01:11:06He's already burned every bridge he has.
01:11:09Heyman has seen maybe his career flash before his eyes as Punk continues the attack on Rollins.
01:11:18Roman down, Rollins down, CM Punk to his feet.
01:11:22Broken bodies everywhere you look.
01:11:24Who can summon something special to grab victory?
01:11:28Think about the physical exertion that these men have gone through in this matchup.
01:11:36Punk now trying to lift Rollins up.
01:11:38Trying to perhaps get him in position to go to sleep.
01:11:40Seth Rollins not going to allow it to happen.
01:11:42Punk now going back to Rollins for the go to sleep.
01:11:44Could have been a smart move there by Punk.
01:11:46Can he hit the GTS that he does to Rollins?
01:11:48Speared out by Reigns.
01:11:50Stomped by Seth.
01:11:51Everybody is down.
01:11:56This is absolutely incredible.
01:12:04Well CM Punk once again going to the well.
01:12:08But without a missed beat.
01:12:11Roman with the spear followed up.
01:12:13With a recoil stomp instinctive.
01:12:16From Seth freaking Rollins.
01:12:22What the hell is Paul Heyman doing?
01:12:25Paul Heyman.
01:12:26With a steel chair in hand.
01:12:28There are no disqualifications in a triple threat match.
01:12:32What are you doing Paul?
01:12:33What the hell are you doing?
01:12:35The cogs are whirring in the brain of the wise man.
01:12:39Yeah you better pray.
01:12:40Where's that chair going Paul?
01:12:41You better make the right choice.
01:12:43You don't need prayers when you've got a steel chair.
01:12:47Go on Paul.
01:12:53Now a disqualification.
01:13:13Paul Heyman has made his choice.
01:13:16Paul Heyman has turned his back on Roman Reigns.
01:13:21To help his friend CM Punk.
01:13:24Who now has a steel chair in hand.
01:13:27Historic loyalty from Paul Heyman.
01:13:32Loyalty to who?
01:13:35Roman Reigns is a sitting duck.
01:13:39Roman Reigns is defenseless.
01:13:41Oh no!
01:13:53Paul Heyman has returned to his original final team.
01:14:07You cannot trust a rope.
01:14:15All of Roman Reigns Christmases just came at once.

01:15:05that night in indianapolis
01:15:10after a decade payback is finally coming to roman reigns
01:15:18oh my god
01:15:21you piece of
01:15:41garbage
01:15:45what the hell did we just witness
01:15:47low blows his best friend in his drive off the hit
01:15:52rewind a couple of weeks
01:15:54Seth Rollins said you owe me the favor now
01:15:57this is absolute insanity
01:15:59the devil's work is afoot
01:16:04this is disgusting
01:16:06and the devil's work is afoot
01:16:12but you can see the devil's work is afoot
01:16:13the devil's work is afoot
01:16:36and now again to the back of reins a stop by Seth Rollins into the cover
01:16:55here is the winner Seth Ricken Rollins
01:17:03Benedict Heyman not once but twice
01:17:10an alliance we never thought we'd see
01:17:16Seth Rollins and that money-sucking leech Paul Heyman
01:17:25political maneuvering and subterfuge has always dictated the very top level of this industry
01:17:35and Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman just bluff and deceive their way to victory in Vegas
01:17:44you know how many years ago was it Wade when that man in the ring sold his soul to the
01:17:51authority to get ahead in this business and now a decade later he sells his soul again
01:17:57to Paul Heyman to get ahead in this business
01:18:30an ending to this match nobody saw coming
01:18:30I'm sorry for that I thought was getting shafted that I thought didn't have a play in the game
01:18:39Paul this is the top level at WWE it's the main event of Wrestlemania
01:18:45if you're not shafting your opponents they're shafting you it's about who does it best
01:18:52and Seth Ricken Rollins has just mastered this art
01:18:59there's been many shield chairs to the back over the years but perhaps done as important and as devastating as
01:19:08the one we witnessed tonight
01:19:09Paul Heyman always seems to survive
01:19:13Paul Heyman is the cockroach who always finds himself at the top of the food chain
01:19:19who you cannot kill who continues to be with the best in the business
01:19:23and now Paul Heyman has aligned himself with Seth Ricken Rollins
01:19:30and I'm sick
01:19:45so many questions
01:19:48how long has this been the plan
01:19:52it could have been weeks or months or years
01:19:55with Paul Heyman yeah years potentially
01:19:58we thought we knew punk situation right
01:20:00he did this to get under rain skin
01:20:03I mean Roman's the one I feel bad at all this for
01:20:07Tribal Chief has been stabbed in the back more times than he can imagine
01:20:12low blows
01:20:15and guys guess what
