00:05Let's go, Wade!
00:37The following is a six-man tag team match,
00:42getting him for one call.
00:44Introducing first, Jimmy and Shay, the Usos.
00:53What a scene at Allegiant Stadium.
00:57Well, good luck spotting them in this massive audience.
01:11Nine-time tag team champions.
01:15Over 1,700 days in the champs.
01:21And tonight, again, heading in to WrestleMania.
01:31We got our rhythm in early color.
01:33Hello, everybody. I'm Michael Cole.
01:34He's Wade Barrett.
01:35We are ready for WrestleMania.
01:37Yes, we are. The whole world is ready.
01:39But don't let it go without saying,
01:42Michael Cole, this is your 25th time calling the greatest spectacle in our industry from this desk.
01:5025 not out quarter of a century.
01:52Michael Cole, what an honor to be alongside you.
01:54Well, it's an honor to be alongside you, but I wouldn't be here today, obviously,
01:57if it wasn't for these gentlemen in the ring, guys like the Usos, guys like Logan Paul and L.A.
02:02Knight, Roman Reigns and CM Punk and Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes and everyone who are going to be a
02:07part of WrestleMania this year.
02:11You're looking at the Usos who last performed as a team at WrestleMania 39.
02:18They once had a record 622 days as tag team champions.
02:25The absolute greatest tag team in history.
02:50And their tag team partner from Los Angeles, California,
02:57weighing in for 240 pounds, L.A. Knight.
03:05L.A. Knight, I talked to him earlier today, Wade.
03:08He is licking his chops to get into the ring against The Vision tonight.
03:13The group that, well, sent him through a car with a tsunami back at the end of December.
03:19He was eliminated, L.A. Knight was, by Logan Paul back at the Elimination Chamber match.
03:24So much history between L.A. Knight and The Vision.
03:28Yeah, so much hatred, so much animosity, and if you're gonna get even on any form of rivalry,
03:34especially one that runs as deep as L.A. Knight and The Vision, you do it right here at WrestleMania.
03:41And, Wade, how fired up was Jey Uso this week?
03:43He got in a fight with podcaster Killikamp after being disrespected by him on his podcast.
03:48That's the emotions running high during WrestleMania week.
03:54Kind of similar to L.A. Knight attacking a certain I show speed on his live stream a couple of
04:01weeks ago.
04:02This thing has crossed into all kinds of media.
04:10And this match tonight is presented by Ram.
04:14Nothing stops Ram.
04:34Very emotional, very personal matchup to kick off WrestleMania tonight.
04:39We are so glad you could join us here live on ESPN2 in the States.
05:06And the opponents, the team of I show speed!
05:12And the world tag team champions, Austin Berry and Logan Paul, The Vision!
05:22Well, at first, I show speed didn't even want to be involved in this situation.
05:26Invertently got involved causing the Usos to tag titles.
05:29Knocked out L.A. Knight, but he sort of fought in.
05:31We saw him training with The Vision over the past couple of weeks.
05:35But let's talk about experience.
05:38Now, I show speed, great athlete.
05:40We know that.
05:41However, he only has one match in WWE.
05:44That was last year's Royal Rumble match.
05:47He lasted 56 seconds back at WrestleMania 40.
05:50He's dressed as a fine bottle.
05:52He got RKO'd by Orton.
05:53So not a great track record.
05:55No, and it's been an absolute disaster for I show speed.
05:59Anytime he's got anywhere near a WWE ring.
06:02I mean, who could forget him getting broken in half in that particular Royal Rumble that you mentioned.
06:06But you're right.
06:07He's in way over his head tonight.
06:09And he needs to lean on the experience of his tag partners here in The Vision, Austin Theory.
06:15And, of course, the now five-time WrestleMania competing Logan Paul.
06:21Like it or not, he is a veteran at this.
06:24I show speed just like he's Superman.
06:27But to your point, Logan Paul beat AJ Styles last year.
06:31He has three wins at WrestleMania.
06:35Sometimes the spotlight just brings out the best in certain performers.
06:39Like Austin Theory.
06:40Remember what he did a few years back at WrestleMania when he beat John Cena.
06:46He also had a ladder match for the tag titles where he won it.
06:50WrestleMania 40.
06:52Theory's got some experience as well.
06:54Yes, indeed.
06:55And this is a very different version of Austin Theory.
06:58One who was far more laser focused, put the nonsense to one side.
07:02Thanks, of course, to Paul Heyman and The Vision.
07:06Of course, The Vision, Paul and Theory knocked off The Usos back at the end of March
07:10to win the World Tag Team titles thanks to I Show Speed.
07:18And The Usos with a double superkick wipes out The Vision and that leads I Show Speed to start things
07:25off with LA Night.
07:27There's some beef here.
07:28Well, the game plan was in right from the start here.
07:32This is the man they really want right off the bat.
07:35The man who's caused them so many problems over the past several weeks.
07:38There's nowhere to hide now, Speed.
07:40Let's see what you got.
07:41And I Show Speed with a side headlock to control LA Night in the early going.
07:45I'll tell you right now, that is day one wrestling school stuff.
07:50If this gets any deeper, he may struggle.
07:53However, we're starting to see that athleticism.
07:56He's really made an effort to I Show Speed and it could be game over from here.
08:00Well, he was showing off a bit and LA Night made him pay.
08:03Again, you see the athleticism when it comes to I Show Speed.
08:06No doubt about that.
08:08Oh, wow.
08:09It's a huge benefit in that ring as Logan Paul now gets clocked to the outside.
08:14But keep your eye on Speed.
08:17Oh, and a power slam by Speed.
08:19Speed showing he's been paying attention, whatever he's been learning.
08:23But don't take your eye off the megastar.
08:26Yeah, you can't prematurely celebrate when it comes to WWE.
08:31No match was ever worn off a body slam, I Show Speed.
08:35And certainly not against someone the caliber of an LA Knight.
08:38Well, LA Knight bringing Logan Paul now into the ring as I Show Speed retreated.
08:43And bouncing Paul off the top turnbuckle.
08:46Again, LA Knight with quite the history of the division over the past year.
08:55The official in this matchup, Ryan Tran.
08:58Warning, LA Knight as he stomps away at Logan Paul in the corner.
09:02And that's part of the issue here at WrestleMania.
09:04Adrenaline is running high for everyone.
09:06Not least, of course, the competitors in the ring.
09:09You have to pay attention to the rules.
09:11And again, main event Jey Uso, who last year at WrestleMania shocked the world
09:16when he won the World Heavyweight Championship with a win over the Ring General Gunther,
09:20who we'll see later on tonight in a match with Seth Rollins.
09:24Double-teamed by the Usos.
09:26As fluid as water.
09:28So much instant chemistry with the Usos.
09:31Cover by Jimmy, hooks the leg, and Logan kicks out at two.
09:35Together since the womb.
09:37That is why they are unsurpassed in the tag ranks here at WWE.
09:40Four wins at WrestleMania as a tag team.
09:43One, two, three.
09:46Of course, the Usos are second generation stars.
09:50Their father Rikishi appeared at WrestleMania one year.
09:54There was a tag there, and Theory.
09:56Jimmy Uso did not see the tag at all behind his back.
10:01And now Austin Theory.
10:04Attitude and all.
10:05Smart move that was from Austin Theory, laying in wait,
10:10dropping the hammer at exactly the right time.
10:15Tag made, here comes Logan Paul.
10:18Did you say something about a match that's never been won by a power slam?
10:22Body slam.
10:23Body slam.
10:24Did you forget Hogan and Andre at WrestleMania 3?
10:26Followed up by a leg drop.
10:28Come on, Michael Carter.
10:29I've got a great memory for this.
10:30You ain't beating me right at the start.
10:32Later on in the show when I'm tired, maybe.
10:34And now The Vision celebrating Logan and Theory.
10:38I'll tell you Theory has become a changed man.
10:41A little bit.
10:41Since joining The Vision under the tutelage of Paul Heyman.
10:44He calls himself The Pressure.
10:47Says he used to let the pressure get to him.
10:49Now he feeds off the pressure.
10:51Show yourself.
10:52Show yourself.
10:53Show yourself right now.
10:53He feeds off pressure.
10:54Logan Paul loves it.
10:55And if I show speed's gonna get anywhere in this game,
10:58using Logan Paul's career as the blueprint,
11:01would be a pretty smart thing to do.
11:03All the way up.
11:04All over the head.
11:05Like that.
11:08Beat too long thinking it over there.
11:10And that was smart in a sense from speed.
11:12Listen to the veterans, just pull it off a touch quicker.
11:16But again, when you don't have a lot of matches, Wade, I mean,
11:18you're gonna think, right?
11:19You're not just going through it.
11:20Yeah, nothing is automatically, but I show speed.
11:23And it really has shown from the off in this one.
11:26He knows how to do the moves.
11:27But pulling them off crisply against the best is a very different equation.
11:32And now Logan Paul, who has proved himself to be among the best in WWE.
11:37Social media superstar turned world tag team champion.
11:42Full time WWE superstar now.
11:44Body shots delivered to Jimmy.
11:46Yeah, let's face it, he's one hell of a boxer too.
11:48One of the biggest right hands in the game here in WWE.
11:53Jimmy Uso has been knocked for six in the corner.
11:56And not to forget that right hand has got a titanium plate in it.
12:00And now Jimmy Uso.
12:02Corkscrew Moonsault off the top rope, takes out Paul Boltman down.
12:09And here is a pivotal moment for both teams.
12:13Who can make the tag first?
12:15Who can get a fresh man into this?
12:18Jey Uso trying to rally his brother Jimmy to the corner to make a tag.
12:23Huge turning point in the match.
12:25This could be where it's won or lost.
12:27And both men make the tag.
12:29And now Jey Uso and Austin Theory.
12:32These two have been at each other for many months now.
12:39And now, got caught.
12:42Showboat in a bit, but Jey lands on his feet.
12:45Off the ropes.
12:46Spear!
12:47Cover!
12:48Oh, and Austin just rolled out of the way.
12:50And that, oh, and Logan Paul's able to break things up.
12:54But Theory just moving out of the way momentarily.
12:57May have cost Jey the match.
12:58Nice gut wrench suplex by Paul.
13:00Show you great instincts there from Logan Paul.
13:03People might not like him, but he is so good inside that ring and only getting better.
13:07And this one's breaking down in a big way now.
13:10Theory with a big left hand.
13:13Jey Uso back into the ring and set shoulder.
13:16First into the post.
13:18That could be the end of Jey Uso right there.
13:20That's a separate shoulder.
13:22Super kick!
13:25Uh-oh.
13:28I shall be trying to get out of harm's way.
13:31Not gonna happen.
13:32But maybe it is!
13:36Nice head scissors there from Ice Show Speed.
13:39But again, celebrating too hard.
13:42Went for the BFT.
13:44Speed just sent Knight into Paul.
13:47Smart reversal there from Speed.
13:49Saved himself and the match received, but Wade up.
13:52Push him into it!
13:53Get up!
13:55Get up!
13:56Get up!
13:56Get up!
13:57Get up!
13:58I don't think Speed did that on purpose, Wade.
14:00He certainly did not.
14:01However, that's not how Austin Theory saw it.
14:03Threw you into that computer.
14:05Hit the rope!
14:06What?
14:06Come on!
14:07Hit the rope!
14:08Get it!
14:10Get it!
14:10Get it!
14:10Get it!
14:10Get it!
14:11Get it!
14:11Get it!
14:12Get it!
14:13Get it!
14:15Get it!
14:24Here are your winners, the team of the Usos and L.P. Knight.
14:36Well, I'll tell you right now that has not sat well with the Vision.
14:40A major victory after that BFT, but things went to hell in a handbasket,
14:47because iShowSpeed simply didn't execute the plan correctly.
14:53Well, he was being bullied by the Vision.
14:55You taught me my mania.
14:57You had one job.
15:01There's that titanium plate in the right hand I was talking about.
15:06I like how Morgan Cole just tosses speed to the curb.
15:10You had one job, my mania, Austin's mania, and you would.
15:18I mean, iShowSpeed does not deserve to be treated like this.
15:23I mean, he was willing to tag up with Paul and Austin Theory of the Vision for
15:28this match tonight.
15:29And now Logan Cole, I think is gonna make Speed pay some more.
15:32You know as well as I do, winning and losing at this level, there are consequences.
15:37Professional wrestling, you moron.
15:40And iShowSpeed has to learn that the hard way.
15:43Oh my goodness.
15:43This is just a mugging now, a vicious assault.
15:48He said that right.
15:50Logan Paul calling Speed a moron.
15:53Logan Paul's got those crazed eyes.
15:55He came here tonight to win.
15:57He does not accept losses.
15:58Not in front of the eyes of the world.
16:01And iShowSpeed.
16:02Well, wait, I think Paul's gonna go up top looking for Paul from Grayson.
16:06Meanwhile, Jey Uso sends Paul into the ropes.
16:11One D!
16:19And Logan Paul sent to the floor.
16:25Come here.
16:26Come here, my man.
16:27You good?
16:28You good?
16:28You good?
16:29An unlikely saver.
16:32There for iShowSpeed.
16:34Is he now in the thick of the Lion's Den?
16:42No way.
16:51Oh God.
16:55This may get ugly here.
16:57The Usos.
17:03Encouraging iShowSpeed to climb up to the top rope as LA Knight holds Logan Paul down on the table.
17:11Don't do it, Speed.
17:12That's a long way.
17:21That's a long way.
17:28High, show, splash, full speed.
17:44Logan Paul is out.
17:47LA Knight and the Usos celebrating with iShowSpeed, and that had to feel good after he was bullied throughout this
17:56match tonight by the Vision.
17:57I promise you, it didn't feel good.
17:59He'll enjoy watching it back.
18:01But that was incredibly painful for iShow Speed.
18:05But even more so, Logan Paul, who may have a crushed ribcage.
18:11And now it's celebration time.
18:16And Speed yeeted as well.
18:21Welcome to WrestleMania.
18:23iShow Speed.
18:31Look at the height, incredible from the top of the ring post flying through the air.
18:38Speed with an iShow splash through Logan Paul, through the table.
18:43A WrestleMania moment for Speed.
18:46What an absolutely insane thing to attempt.
18:50But if you're gonna do it anywhere, do it right here at WrestleMania.
18:55When the eyes of the world are on you, that's on iShow Speed.
