13:33And his opponent.
16:24I'm going to go.
16:24Oh my God.
16:25I think we speculated about those moves.
16:28Oh.
16:29That's what Brock needed to do.
16:30That's what Brock needed to do.
16:30Get away from the pure power battle.
16:32Get the advantage any way you can.
16:34Oh, and into the post spine first.
16:36And that was a mistake Femi made.
16:38Brock Lesnar, the veteran, found the opening.
16:41And now Lesnar on the attack.
16:46And into the steps on the other side.
16:49And now Brock Lesnar's in his element.
16:52And that was shoulder first into those steps.
16:54That's about as bad a way as you can hit it outside of the head of course.
16:59And Femi favoring his elbow as he drops to a knee.
17:02And Brock Lesnar about to bring Femi to Suplex City.
17:11We saw John Cena, our host, kick off the show tonight.
17:15Ask Mr. Cena what it's like to be in the ring with Brock Lesnar,
17:19yet another release German.
17:21And it just goes to show you how tactics at this level are vital.
17:27It cannot simply be about who is the biggest, who is the strongest.
17:33And now Lesnar closing in on his third German suplex of the match.
17:39And now Brock Lesnar is being back to the Brock Lesnar we know only so well.
17:46And Femi's hurt, Wade.
17:47Oba Femi is hurt.
17:49The destruction outside the ring and now the suplexes have taken down the ruler.
17:55This is a learning experience now for Oba Femi.
18:00And looking for another turn, but Oba Femi firing back with the elbows.
18:04Remember, it was Lesnar who eliminated Femi back in the Royal Rumble match.
18:09Well, into the corner with a running uppercut.
18:11Well, Brock is wobbled here, Cole.
18:12The big man with another running uppercut.
18:15He's got a big elbow on the temple and hasn't looked right since, but here we go.
18:19Lesnar now with Femi up on his shoulders.
18:21Brock Lesnar looking to pull him away.
18:23F5 to Femi.
18:25F5 to Oba Femi.
18:27And look at this.
18:32Oba Femi got back to his feet after the F5.
18:37Oh, and a chunk slam by Femi.
18:40Both athletes dropping their nuclear bombs.
18:46Femi measuring Lesnar.
18:49Lesnar's up.
18:51No freaking way.
18:54Fall for Bryce.
18:56Femi.
18:56Femi with the win.
18:58Here is your winner, Opa Femi.
19:29I'm not sure Oba Femi can quite believe in Wade.
19:32While the world is in shock.
19:35Oba Femi took everything that Brock Lesnar could throw at him.
19:40including this F5.
19:43Including this F5.
19:44Brock Lesnar knows he has this in the bag.
19:47It's game over.
19:48Except this guy Oba Femi is built a little bit different to anything we've witnessed before.
19:56And one fall from grace later.
20:00Oba Femi has just written his ticket to the very top of this industry right off the bat.
20:07Wow.
20:08I want you to look at the ring right now.
20:10I want you to look inside the ring right now as we see Oba Femi making his way back up
20:15the ramp.
20:16Brock Lesnar is laid out.
20:18Brock Lesnar hasn't moved.
20:20Brock Lesnar was taken down by Femi tonight.
20:23Oba Femi is everything he said he was.
20:27The ruler and destroyer.
20:29The bringer of war.
20:31This is the one we've waited for.
20:48We have to see this one more time here.
20:53I'm still in shock.
20:55The fall from grace from Oba Femi to the beast Brock Lesnar.
21:01And who the hell in history has thrown Brock Lesnar's body around with ease like Oba Femi?
21:11Paul Heyman in complete shock.
21:15Lesnar's the man who ended The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
21:21But Oba Femi has slayed the beast tonight.
21:27Oba Femi ladies and gentlemen is the next big thing.
21:44Robbie Thomson!
21:49Hilary Thomson!
25:16They just speak for themselves, don't they?
26:00Thank you, Mr. President, thank you, Mr. President.
26:48Thank you, Mr. President.
27:00Don't be like Max Out.
27:03Instead, learn how to avoid the Wreckers at CreditWreckers.com.
27:07Credit One Bank, for what's ahead.
27:12What in the world are you thinking?
27:17Mean Gene, the first thing you need to do is to tell these people to shut up
27:22if you want to hear what I got to say.
27:25And then it got evil in there, man.
27:28As soon as I saw Mean Gene's nose get split open,
27:30and I plugged into that crowd,
27:33my mind says, screw the audience.
27:35All this crap in the ring represents these fans out here.
27:41I did everything for the charities.
27:44I did everything for the kids.
27:46And the reception I got when I came out here,
27:50you fans can stick it, brother.
27:53I think deep down inside, there's parts of him
27:55that just wanted to let people know what he really thought.
27:57It felt great.
28:00And there's so much heat.
28:01It was incredible.
28:03I looked at people in the eyes that were five feet away from me,
28:06and they wanted to kill me.
28:07They had blood just coming out of their eyeballs.
28:09They were so mad at me.
28:10I knew I could just rule.
28:13I could rule the business.
28:14This right here is the future of wrestling.
28:18You can call this the new world order of wrestling, brother.
28:25What you gonna do?
28:26What are you gonna do?
28:27Don't touch me.
28:28I'm gonna free the lawyers.
28:30Yeah, I remember him sitting me down saying,
28:32like, you know, all the red and yellow stuff,
28:34the good guy stuff, that's out the window.
28:36I'm gonna be a bad guy now.
28:38Here we go.
28:39Everybody see that?
28:40Yeah.
28:42I thought he was crazy.
28:44Hulk doesn't work anymore.
28:46He said, where's my black boots?
28:48Do I have any black patent leather boots?
28:49I have to go see if I have black boots.
28:51So I go in his closet, and I'm, like, digging around.
28:53I'm like, these?
28:53They're, like, 100 years old from, like, 1965.
28:56He's like, yeah, those.
28:57You better get going.
28:59I'm going.
29:00I'm right on time.
29:01I'm in two hours.
29:02I give him a pair of my black leggings.
29:03He's like, yeah, that's it.
29:05Puts the belt around him.
29:06I'm like, yeah, that's it.
29:07Now, he's turned his back from the door.
29:10Ladies and gentlemen, Hollywood!
29:14Oh!
29:16Oh!
29:17Oh, God!
29:22Nothing was ever the same after that.
29:25If Hulk Hogan can turn heel,
29:28then anything can happen.
29:30Hulk was trying to fit into this new world,
29:34this new society.
29:36And it worked tremendously.
29:39He has one of the greater changes
29:41in all the history of our industry.
29:43My gosh.
29:44It flips everything.
29:45I laid it out straight for all those kids, brother.
29:48They didn't want to follow the path,
29:50so I'm done with a man.
29:51Hulkster was doing it out of anger,
29:53was the shit, you know?
29:55He was a dude.
29:59You know, the cheap shots
30:01and that dastardly evil-type character
30:04are like a Batman villain.
30:07He wasn't afraid to break the rules,
30:11you know, take over the announcer's table.
30:13Is there any question now
30:15who is the most powerful man
30:19in professional wrestling?
30:21He's yelling at old ladies.
30:23He's phenomenal.
30:28I don't have to play by any rules
30:30as Hollywood.
30:31I can lie, cheat, lie right to your face
30:34and get away with it
30:35because I'm a bad guy.
30:36Radio, radio, radio.
30:44Listen to me.
30:49You're welcome.
31:15Stewie, you are an absolute legend.
31:18Remember when he showed us how to get around the firewall?
31:24He's so good at doctoring receipts.
31:26Am I right?
31:27Business expenses.
31:30And who knew AI can make it look like you're in the office?
31:33This guy!
31:36Miz, have a Snickers.
31:40Snickers satisfies.
31:43Ladies and gentlemen, the Intercontinental Championship
31:46is hanging high above the ring.
31:47This is a six-pack ladder match.
31:49You climb the ladder.
31:51You grab the title.
31:51You become the Intercontinental Champion.
31:55Already here in the ring, J.D. McDonough dragging Lee.
31:58Rusev is prowling outside the ring as we get set for some incredible action.
32:03A little bit of a win.
32:06X-Wil em!
32:19Oh!
32:19Oh!
32:20Oh!
32:22Oh!
32:22Oh!
32:23Oh!
32:23Oh!
32:23Oh!
32:24Oh!
32:39The legendary Hall of Famer, Ray Mysterio.
32:45Six wins all time at WrestleMania.
32:57From San Diego, California, weight gain at 175 pounds.
33:04WWE Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio.
33:12Including 2006, one of the greatest moments in WrestleMania history,
33:17when Rey Mysterio won the World Championship in a triple threat here at WrestleMania.
33:21For Mysterio, he's no stranger to ladder matches.
33:24He's had some incredible ones over the years, including back in 1997 at Halloween Havoc,
33:30when he beat Eddie Guerrero for the WCW Cruiserweight title.
33:35And also at SummerSlam versus Eddie, in custody of Dominic Mysterio.
33:41Yo, boy is bouncy.
33:52Let's go.
33:55Let's go.
33:56Come on.
33:59Mediago O.G.
34:02From Greenboro, North Carolina,
34:06weight gain at 190-god pounds, Jermon Evans.
34:15His first WrestleMania, his first ever ladder match.
34:20And if he wins, he'd be the youngest man to ever win a championship at WrestleMania.
34:25What a future Jermon Evans has.
34:27Oh, man, just 21 years old.
34:30It's almost unheard of to have this much success in the men's division,
34:35without the body even reaching full athletic maturity.
34:39We're still figuring out just how good Jermon Evans can be.
34:42Yeah, let's go.
34:43Yeah, let's go.
34:44Who won it?
34:46Who won it?
34:49Who won it?
34:52Who won it?
34:54Who won it?
34:55Who won it?
34:56You don't get no wins in me, Kasa.
34:58Put us on top number one on the roster.
35:03Tonight, at WrestleMania, there will be combat.
35:08There will be danger.
35:09I will beat anyone in the ring.
35:12You know why.
35:14Because I am Penta.
35:18In zero.
35:21Yeah.
36:03From Iotapec, Mexico, weighing in at 87 kilos,
36:11he is the Intercontinental Champion, Penta.
36:21Just as Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat, Penta, the Intercontinental Champion,
36:27making his way to the ring for this ladder match.
36:30And believe it or not, it was Penta's idea to have a ladder match for
36:33his championship at WrestleMania.
36:35Well, I'll tell you right now, that is an absolutely terrible idea.
36:39If you are the champion, why?
36:42Because at best, you have a one in six chance of winning this damn thing.
36:47So hard to strategize in a ladder match.
36:51They call this a car crash style of match for a reason.
36:55That is both style and substance.
36:58A lot of people are gonna get hurt in this one.
37:00Again, thank you for joining us on ESPN tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
37:03First time ever for WrestleMania.
37:06And look at JD McDonough goes right after Javon Evans.
37:09And we are underway.
37:11Ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship.
37:13Well, this is an absolute sprint from the word go.
37:16It favors the Nimble and talk about Nimble.
37:19Well, Nimble really describes five of the six competitors in there tonight.
37:24And Rusev being the one that is more the power-based athlete.
37:27However, Rusev has been in the ladder match before, Wade.
37:302018, money in the bank.
37:32But he could be the wild card in this whole thing.
37:34Yeah, that's the thing.
37:35His path to victory here is not being fast and scrambling up a ladder.
37:38It's wrecking every single body in the match and taking a leisurely stroll to the top.
37:44You know, I talked to Dragon Lee earlier today, right?
37:46And he was so excited for this match.
37:49Now, remember, Rey Mysterio's been his mentor, right?
37:52Rey Mysterio gifted a mask to Dragon Lee many years ago.
37:55He called Dragon Lee the future of Lucha Libre.
37:58This is the first time that Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio have ever been opponents
38:01and he couldn't wait for tonight.
38:03Well, even Penta is tight with that crew, but all bets have to be off here.
38:07It's about the goal.
38:08Bang!
38:09Man up and apologize later.
38:12And Penta and Dragon Lee now gonna turn the ladder, so to speak, on Rusev.
38:17Well, it was a smart move taking Rusev out and then going back to your one-on-one business,
38:21or maybe not.
38:22Well, that didn't work out well.
38:23And Rusev, okay, he's in a mood.
38:27Well, this is an absolute brute of a human being.
38:29Get out of there, Wade.
38:30He's in a mood tonight.
38:31Well, Rusev told me a couple of days ago he is feeling buoyant right now.
38:35He said he's climbed the ladder of life.
38:37Nice.
38:38And by the way, this is your fault, Marcello.
38:42Oh!
38:45And Penta driving Rusev to the floor.
38:48And now Penta slides underneath the ladder.
38:51And the entire ringside area already-
38:54Come on, it's gonna fly!
38:55Scene of carnage everywhere you look.
38:59Protect your health at all costs in this one.
39:06And now it's Siobhan Evans.
39:09Sending a ladder into the ring.
39:12Dragon Lee now!
39:14Piranha into McDonough!
39:17Man, Dragon Lee, such a joy to watch.
39:20He's come into his own in the past year.
39:23Really the embodiment of Lucha's spirit.
39:25And now Student and Mentor finally about to throw down.
39:29Here we go!
39:32Oh, Dragon Lee, he told me I'm not gonna take it easy on Rey tonight.
39:35But Mentor or not.
39:36But nor should he.
39:37You wanna be at the top in this game, you have to be all covers.
39:40That includes the living legend Rey Mysterio.
39:45And Rey now sending Dragon Lee into position.
39:51Went for the 619.
39:52Dragon Lee ducked underneath and caught him with a super kick.
39:56Well, Dragon Lee clearly studied his mentor as well as anybody knew exactly what was coming in.
40:01Now's an opportunity for Dragon to scramble up there.
40:04He thought better of it, but that ladder was not quite tall enough for various sizes of ladders here.
40:11Rusev understands the concept of using the ladder as a weapon.
40:15And Javon Evans, welcome to the big time, kid.
40:19And this is exactly what Rusev needs to do.
40:22Forget the highlight reel stuff, just smash bodies and climb.
40:27WrestleMania, of course, has been a great stage for ladder matches over the years.
40:31Remember the first ever at WrestleMania, Razor, HBK, Madison Square Garden,
40:36Intercontinental title.
40:38I like what I'm seeing from JD McDonough here.
40:40One of the smartest- No!
40:42I don't like that at all.
40:43Take that back.
40:44Jesus!
40:44I was gonna say he's one of the smartest, shrewdest competitors in there.
40:47Highly intelligent, but perhaps intelligence
40:50would indicate you should stay well clear of this Bulgarian brute.
40:55And now it's Rusev setting up the ladder.
40:57Again, you climb the ladder to grab the title.
41:01And Rusev may be cruising to victory here.
41:04He's a fingertip away.
41:06And now Penta looking to keep his championship.
41:09You saw the speed of Penta scrambling up there.
41:12And now Rusev with a death grip getting broken.
41:16Oh!
41:18And that is not a landing.
41:20The massive frame of Rusev is designed to be taken.
41:24That was a bulldog by Penta off the ladder.
41:27Now Javon Evans runs into a super kick by the spectacular Penta.
41:33J.D. McDonough running interference.
41:35Well, that was that smart analytical presence of McDonough we talked about before.
41:40Well, you gotta head that size.
41:41You gotta be smart.
41:42Oh!
41:42And Javon Evans with a shot right to the kidneys.
41:45And now Evans to McDonough.
41:46Gonna climb the ladder.
41:47Looking to win the gold.
41:48Oh!
41:49Just fingertips away.
41:50And here we go.
41:51McDonough might have this.
41:54Just shudder to think.
41:55Oh no.
41:57Oh no!
41:58Is he alive?
42:00Well, that was human skittles.
42:02Somehow McDonough landing on his feet.
42:04And that has ended up rather favorable for the Irishman.
42:08How's McDonough still in there?
42:09After he took a backdrop on his head on the ladder.
42:11And now McDonough quickly up the ladder.
42:13Javon Evans, top rope for the leap.
42:15Oh my goodness!
42:16A leaping clothesline by Evans.
42:19And now Dragon Lee pouncing.
42:21Looking to capitalize.
42:24Speed of thought.
42:26Speed of movement.
42:28Keep your wits about you.
42:29There's always somebody lurking on the outside.
42:31Ready to catch you by surprise.
42:34A sandwich board in the ladder by Rey Mysterio.
42:38This time the six will not connect.
42:40With some added steel for good measure.
42:43And now Rey's got a chance.
42:44Rey's got a chance now.
42:46Clear out the debris.
42:47Get that giant ladder.
42:49That is the one you need.
42:50Rey was right when he said this past week that
42:52it couldn't be WrestleMania.
42:54It couldn't be a ladder match without Rey Mysterio.
42:58And this is the moment.
42:59He just takes so much time to set that ladder up in a perfect position.
43:03Javon Evans just leapfrogged over Mysterio trying to climb the ladder.
43:06Well, they call him bouncy for a reason, Cole.
43:11Mysterio still going strong at this age is incredible.
43:14Penta now with a super kick.
43:15Rey Mysterio.
43:16Oh, and he took out Rey.
43:18Bouncing of youth some time ago.
43:20And using Javon Evans as a weapon.
43:26And Javon looking up at the ladder got caught.
43:29Oh, and a suplex right into the ladder by Penta.
43:31Yes, spine first will not help the agility of anyone.
43:35Dragon Lee with a drop kick to a hung up Mysterio.
43:38There you go, mentor.
43:40Thanks for everything.
43:41You've served your purpose now.
43:42Can't defend yourself when you're hooked in the ladder.
43:45And now JD McDonough sent flying by Dragon Lee, who's been spectacular tonight.
43:49I love this new level of aggression from a Dragon Lee.
43:53Well, he's seen the success of other luchadors, and he wants some for himself.
43:56He's won tag goal before.
43:57He might be about to grab the Intercontinental, but denied by Rusev.
44:01Yeah, the Bulgarian brute planting Dragon Lee.
44:05Man, what a fast-paced, vicious matchup for the Intercontinental title.
44:11How impressive is Rusev here?
44:12Came very close to winning the Intercontinental Championship a couple of times last year.
44:17Denied by Penta, and indeed Dirty Dom, who was the then holder.
44:21How sweet would it be to grab gold here in Vegas?
44:25For Rusev, his first WrestleMania in seven years.
44:30Said he was so focused coming into this.
44:32Javon with a right hand.
44:33Not quite sure what Rusev's planning here, but it's not gonna be good.
44:37Designing some instrument of destruction, and it could be Javon Evans.
44:40Oh my goodness.
44:42Who tastes it, and Javon Evans hooked up in a rather ugly fashion there.
44:46Come on, get up.
44:47Have you been in a ladder match?
44:48Yes, I have.
44:49Guess how many I won?
44:51None.
44:52Absolutely zero.
44:53What does that feel like?
44:54Well, 2015 for the Intercontinental Championship, actually, I was in a ladder match,
44:58and all I recall is severe pain, and my body never feeling quite right ever again.
45:03I was also relieved of the goal on that occasion.
45:06No wonder you drank it.
45:09Penta.
45:12And Penta again.
45:14I mean, it's a small thing.
45:15You've got to team up against the biggest, stronger athlete.
45:23And Penta discussing tactics with Rey.
45:29And now Rey Mysterio launched.
45:32Oh, my goodness.
45:33And now Rusev collapsing the ladder, breaking the ladder in half.
45:37Mysterio taking out Rusev.
45:39A West Coast pop over the top, through the body of Rusev.
45:44Mysterio's face hitting the steel at the same time.
45:52Take another look at this.
45:54But look at the face of Mysterio eating the steel on the way down.
45:58I'm astounded he's still moving.
46:00Rusev is done now.
46:01He's out of this one for sure.
46:03There are bodies everywhere.
46:05As Penta looks to keep his title, Rey Mysterio intercepts.
46:10Man, this is everything is advertised and more.
46:13About as dangerous as it gets here in WWE, but with a prize so great,
46:18it is worth it for these athletes.
46:21Now, Rey Mysterio looks better than ever.
46:22This is absolutely incredible.
46:24He won his world title at WrestleMania 20 years ago, Rey.
46:27Well, we've been watching this guy for 30 years at this point.
46:30Bang, 619.
46:31And there's no slowing down looking as good as ever.
46:35And now Rey gonna climb the ladder.
46:37Can you imagine this moment?
46:38Can you imagine winning the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania?
46:41Dragon Lee now trying to thwart his mentor, his longtime friend.
46:48And now Dragon trying to reach out and grab the belt.
46:52And that small frame of Dragon Lee and indeed Rey Mysterio is not helping here.
46:58Simply don't have the leg, limb length to get a good grip on this thing as it swings wildly above
47:03them.
47:04Man, it's so difficult to fight up there.
47:07Oh, oh.
47:08And Rey now using the ladder as a weapon.
47:10Dragon Lee knocked down.
47:12Rey may have a chance.
47:13It's Rey's for the taking now.
47:17And Rey now, he kicks right to the face of Dragon Lee.
47:21Mysterio still trying to hang on.
47:23Thinks twice about it.
47:24Gonna get, oh, no.
47:26Impressive power there.
47:28Dragon Lee told me the Hall of Famer.
47:30AJ Styles gifted him the Styles class for the rest of his career.
47:36They held tag gold together recently and, oh, inches away from Intercontinental gold now.
47:42And now it's JD McDonough, who's long been a thorn in the side of Dragon Lee from the judgment day.
47:47And McDonough looking to win gold.
47:52The entire body of these superstars must be on fire.
47:56What are you cooking up here, JD?
47:58Spanish fly!
48:00As high risk as it gets, but it paid off for JD McDonough.
48:05Now can he finish the job?
48:09Take another look at this high risk offense.
48:12A Spanish fly from JD McDonough landing flush on Dragon Lee.
48:19But unfortunately, in the process, JD McDonough took a ton out of himself.
48:25Over 50,000 tonight.
48:27And they're raucous.
48:29They're alive in Las Vegas for WrestleMania Sunday.
48:32And maybe the moment that JD McDonough has waited years for.
48:36An opportunity to win at WrestleMania.
48:39And Penta now climbing the ladder.
48:46I'll tell you right now, fighting like this on top of a ladder never ends well.
48:51You think?
48:52Somebody is going to take a nasty drop here as that thing wobbles all over the place.
48:57Penta slowly climbing to the top.
48:59JD McDonough now hooking the Intercontinental Champion.
49:01There is a ladder just below them, folks.
49:03There's a ladder just below them.
49:05It looks like McDonough was looking for some sort of suplex.
49:07And Penta is clinging on for dear life, smartly so.
49:10And has now got the upper hand here.
49:13No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
49:16Not from there, Penta, not from there.
49:19Not from there, Penta.
49:25Mexican Destroyer on the ladder.
49:30McDonough's dead.
49:33Well, scrape JD McDonough off the canvas after this.
49:39Mexican Destroyer head first onto a steel ladder.
49:50I told McDonough earlier today, don't do anything stupid, kid.
49:54Well, that wasn't his fault.
49:56That was all Penta.
49:57I mean, the stupid part was entering this kind of carnage.
50:01Oh, look at, look at Wade, back in the ring.
50:03Javon Evans just realizes he's got a chance.
50:06Everybody else is down.
50:07There's bodies everywhere.
50:09Wake up, kid.
50:10Make yourself a champion.
50:12Make yourself history tonight, Javon.
50:16Rewrite the history books.
50:18He's got the title.
50:20Rusev's got the ladder.
50:21Javon is hanging on to the belt.
50:24He can't unclip it from this position.
50:27But he can certainly drop down.
50:31And now Evans sent over the top rope into the floor right in front of us.
50:35And nobody's body is cooperating with him at this point.
50:39How the hell is Rusev moving?
50:40Everybody showing wounds of war.
50:42How is Rusev moving?
50:43Rusev has a body designed to take abuse and keep moving like no other.
50:49We saw him fall through that ladder.
50:51An epic crash from that West Coast pop.
50:54But just shrugging it off minutes later.
50:57And you saw Rusev was favoring his leg, Wade, right?
51:00It's difficult.
51:01He's trying to climb the ladder now, really on one leg.
51:04Look at, look at, look at, look at.
51:06Evans, Evans in the background.
51:08Evans in the background.
51:10Oh, Jay Conner.
51:11Oh, Jay Conner.
51:13Oh, Jay Conner.
51:27Insane abilities of Javon Evans dropping Rusev once again.
51:34And Javon Evans, whose body has been turned to mush,
51:39has the ability to win this whole damn thing.
51:42And Penta trying desperately to protect this championship.
51:45And oh, Mexican destroyer off the ladder to Evans.
51:49Man, Penta is incredible.
51:51Where does he come up with this stuff?
51:53It's just instinctive.
51:55This guy has freakish abilities.
51:57It's why the world has fallen in love with the current Intercontinental Champion.
52:04May well be about to retain.
52:0620 years to get here.
52:0720 years to win the Intercontinental Championship.
52:11Penta on top of the ladder.
52:15Penta trying to grab the title.
52:17Penta still on top of the world.
52:20Here is your winner.
52:23And still, the Intercontinental Champion, Penta.
52:33Absolutely incredible.
52:40I give it up for all six men in this match tonight.
52:47I mean, you think about what JD McDonough put himself through.
52:52That kid's a star.
52:53He's a future champion.
52:55You talk about Dragon Lee and the aggression that he showed tonight.
52:59You talk about the toughness of Rusev, the biggest man in the match.
53:03How about the fountain of youth that is inside Rey Mysterio getting bouncy with Javon Evans.
53:11Let's take a look at some of that.
53:13And Penta.
53:13Highlights of this match.
53:15It's Dragon Lee taking out former mentor Rey with an epic attack there.
53:19And now, Rusev just driving bodies through the steel.
53:23I mean, the entire match was a highlight reel.
53:26He got a hell of a job trying to cut it down.
53:28This is that West Coast bot that took out Rusev and almost Rey Mysterio too.
53:33And then this JD McDonough, Spanish fly from up above, could not have landed more perfectly.
53:41And then a Mexican destroyer to JD McDonough.
53:48And McDonough may never be the same again after that.
53:51And here's one of those OG cutters that will live in infamy forever.
53:57As Rusev was dropped for good in this match.
54:04But in the end, the Intercontinental Champion, the spectacular Penta, the man that has taken WWE by storm, does it
54:14again, retains the Intercontinental title in a ladder match for the ages.
54:24I mean, just wreckage everywhere you look, both human and steel.
54:30It's going to take a while to clean up this mess, but Penta does not care.
54:34Penta going home with a goal.
54:37Wow.
