00:00Penta does not care.
00:01Penta going home with a goal won't feel a single wound right now.
00:06Just buzzing with adrenaline.
00:08And I'd say this Las Vegas audience loves everything they are seeing.
00:14Again, Penta wins the Intercontinental title, but also tonight on ESPN,
00:19the shocker of all shockers.
00:21I had absolutely no idea what to think here
00:23when Obafemi, the ruler, went face-to-face with the Beast.
00:28And it was a fall from grace from Obafemi
00:31that would take out Brock Lesnar.
00:33And it would seal Obafemi as the next big thing here in WWE.
00:40But what followed this matchup, if that wasn't shock enough, Wade,
00:44the greatest combat athlete in the history of the planet,
00:49that man Brock Lesnar, shocked all of us.
00:52He took off his boots, he took off his gloves,
00:56and he seemingly said goodbye to not just 50,000-plus in Las Vegas tonight,
01:03but to the world who is watching this moment.
01:08And in the moment, Wade, you and I were just so taken aback
01:13that we didn't quite know how to take it.
01:18We didn't quite know what to say.
01:21But it is pretty apparent that Brock Lesnar has called it a career here tonight.
01:28And I just want to personally say, if that is it,
01:32I was here in the beginning.
01:35I was here for Brock Lesnar's first match ever.
01:38I was here for his championships and everything that this man accomplished.
01:42And all I can say is thank you to Brock Lesnar,
01:46one of the most spectacular superstars that we've ever had here in WWE.
01:52Yeah, I've got to tell you, Cole, I'm going to wait until I get the official word.
01:55But what we saw in the ring from Brock Lesnar only means one thing in this industry.
02:00It means goodbye.
02:02It means the Beast has been slayed.
02:04I'm not ready for that.
02:06The world, I don't think, is ready for that.
02:08So I'm going to wait.
02:09I'm going to pump the brakes until we get an official word from his camp.
02:12Once the emotions calm down, things can change.
02:16But I don't know.
02:16So you know what?
02:17You know for us, what is real?
02:20Obafemi.
02:21Oh, man.
02:22Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for joining us here on ESPN.
02:24We're heading to the ESPN app with the unlimited plan.
02:28And these matches are still to come,
02:30including our main event, Punk and Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship.
02:36Again, Netflix internationally, ESPN app with the unlimited plan.
02:41We're coming back to Vegas.
02:43Oh, hell yeah.
02:44What a start.
02:48Get over here.
02:49On May 8th, the summer begins with combat.
02:54It's called Mortal Kombat for a reason.
03:00Damn.
03:02You don't have any powers.
03:04Just incredibly handsome.
03:06Oh, whip.
03:08Freeze him.
03:11Johnny will definitely die.
03:13Get tickets now.
03:15Mortal Kombat 2.
03:17Rated R.
03:18May 8th.
03:20In later years, every time Hulk told the story,
03:23Andre gained 100 pounds.
03:25For those who believe,
03:27it's like when St. Paul had his epiphany on the road to Damascus.
03:31The whole earth is gonna shake.
03:33When Jesus rose from the dead.
03:35What are they gonna think when the giant hits the ground?
03:39This is the main event.
03:43The people, they were right there with all of it.
03:47He ripped the shirt off the champion as well as the crucifix.
03:50Seven foot five.
03:52It was the first time I've ever been in the ring not knowing what was gonna happen.
03:55Look at the size of the giant.
03:57What's Hogan saying to him?
03:59I wonder what could Hogan possibly be saying to him?
04:01All right, man.
04:02I love you to death, brother.
04:03Let me tell you something.
04:04Thank you so much, man, for helping me out all these years.
04:06That was a conversation.
04:08And he looked pissed.
04:10He just looked like a rabid, great white shark.
04:13I thought he was gonna tear me apart.
04:24The story line is no one had body slammed Andre the Giant.
04:31It's impossible.
04:33Andre telling the champion, get up.
04:35Get up.
04:36I said, well, I'm dead because you're gonna kill me.
04:39Oh, and a bear hug.
04:40We could get a submission on this.
04:45He's raising a man who has never been beaten 15 years.
04:50He's taking the air away from Hogan.
04:52Hogan is not being allowed to get a full breath of oxygen in there.
04:55And when you talk about who's the greatest, you know,
04:58the greatest is, was, or ever will be, or greatest in the world.
05:02I challenge anybody in his business.
05:05Referee checking the arm.
05:07Oh, look at him.
05:07To do one move better than mine.
05:09One more time.
05:10If that arm drops, it's over.
05:12Which, as etched in time, will be a piece of history.
05:15Do whatever sidekick you want to do, whatever suplex you want to do,
05:19whatever twirly, twisty thing off the top rope.
05:22What I did, it will live forever.
05:24Oh, look at that.
05:25It's up there.
05:27Listen to these points.
05:32He's coming to something.
05:33And another one.
05:35He's up there.
05:35And another one.
05:36Oh, he hooked up the big guy.
05:39He's looking up.
05:41And a tournament can do that.
05:43We'll see what this guy is really made of.
05:46Well, he is.
05:47The greatest professional athlete in the world today.
05:50Look at this.
06:08After that, I told him, you're never going to be Cherry Bolea again, Hulk.
06:13When you walk out there with that headband on, it's not Cherry Bolea, it's Hulk Hogan.
06:19And that's the way the people see you.
06:21He became the legend, the myth, Hulk Hogan, the immortal one.
06:26He's thanking the guy upstairs, Jess, as he always does.
06:29The power of Hulkamania made us push everything else aside and escape into this marvelous movie.
06:38Hulk Hogan turned out to be more real than anyone ever thought it would be.
06:44It turned out to be who I really am.
07:15Hulk Hogan
07:22Tiffy time never ends, huh?
07:26Well, more Chumba time for me.
07:27Give Daddy those gold coins.
07:29The undisputed Chumba champion has arrived.
07:32Give me that tablet.
07:33I'm going to give up the Chumba belt that easy.
07:36Kind of like the one Damian took from you.
07:44Whoa, whoa, chill, guys.
07:45Now that Chumba's on board, there's enough gold coins for everyone.
07:48Let's Chumba!

13:28at wrestlemania the fans were none too happy well they were not too happy because pivotal in sammy zayn
13:33winning said championship from carmelo hayes the workhorse has blown all our minds lately was the fact
13:39that twick williams got involved in the match inadvertently punched carmelo hayes which led to an opening
13:46for sammy zayn to grab gold and with it take what was thought to be mellow spot here at wrestlemania
13:53but i'll tell you right now sammy zayn should not care about that your mission is simple get to mania
13:58and win gold well sammy's learning life doesn't reward good deeds correct absolutely right that's been
14:05the motto of my entire career it rewards results and sammy zayn bought into that and now he finds himself
14:12holding the united states championship
14:20remember his moment back at wrestlemania 40 the night that he knocked off gunther
14:24to win the intercontinental title who could forget

15:28at home, I give to you the anointed one, Mr. Lemon Pepper Stepper, Trick Williams!
15:48What? What?
16:14and this united states championship match tonight
16:20is presented by nox hydration
16:26the man who has taken wwe by storm whether you like his attitude or you don't
16:32you are looking at a million dollars
17:04oh my god that's part of his jacket that is a train i believe you call it
17:11all right thanks
17:23you were one of those at your wedding didn't you
17:27i think that was my wife you had that see this here
17:34what do you call it trick willy mania well trick willy is floating in here looking like a cloud
17:45and he'll flow out on cloud number nine if he wins the gold there cole well you know this is
17:50what
17:50bothers sammy zane all of these theatrics this fanfare but to sammy's point trick hasn't done
17:56anything at this level yet
18:02nothing wrong with fanfare nothing wrong with a little pizzazz that is what has connected with this
18:08packed out stadium from the wwe universe around the world
18:24las vegas
18:25make some noise
18:43this is for the united states championship and you have to wonder what the first ever
18:48united states champion the late great harley race would think about someone like
18:53trick williams my guy here he is i told you wade little yachty i told you well even i got
19:00a
19:00handshake from so i guess he's my guy too all right michael cole stop posting he doesn't know you
19:05here we go sammy zay trick williams for the united states championship oh man polar opposites a vet
19:11versus a relative rookie assault of the earth personality versus an egomaniac and sammy now
19:17takes down trick williams who you call the egomaniac obviously trick williams he loves
19:21himself and the world loves him too no problem with that ego but sammy's got a bit of change
19:26in demeanor as of late as well so i want to talk about that because sammy zayn has had a
19:30disastrous
19:312026 up until a couple of weeks ago where he won gold to me though that is putting a band
19:37-aid over
19:38the cracks and if sammy zayn loses gold tonight where the hell will he spiral to yeah trick williams
19:44a hot start in his career as a two-time nxt champion he was a one-time tna world champion
19:51nxt north american champion as well as sammy sends him over the top rope to the floor
19:56think about this sammy zayn is pretty much the last 10 years of wwe and what is anticipated to be
20:02the
20:02next 10 years of wwe is trick williams and look at how quickly trick williams gets back into the ring
20:07with a wicked clothesline and now another one to sammy zayn and here comes williams here's the brilliance of
20:13trick williams his speed of learning this industry has been faster than pretty much anyone i have
20:19ever seen a nice trick slap breaker sammy went for the blue thunder bomb and trick williams countered
20:25first with a cyclone boot and then with that neck breaker yeah the biggest stage of trick's career
20:32and he is not backing down he didn't come here to belong he came here to take over and this
20:38man
20:38started in football american football weight he was a two-time letterman at the university
20:43of south carolina a walk-on athlete walked onto the team cover off the bookend and a kick out at
20:49two
20:50paying homage to the great hall of famer booker t who's been very influential in the career of trick
20:56williams we talked about zayn having a massive experience advantage both in years and under the
21:03wrestlemania sparklight and he's gonna need all of that here blue thunder bomb cover to retain
21:08and it looks like williams was going for that trick shot jumping knee and sammy was able to defend well
21:15they're pretty much all gone tricks way and this is where the questions start to come in for a younger
21:20competitor who is less experienced at this level when things stop going your way where's your resilience
21:26where's your mindset how's your psyche gonna handle this the referee in this matchup jason airs backing the
21:33champion sammy zayn off remember sammy zayn has the advantage trick's got a pin or submit him here
21:38tonight and sammy zayn now unloading on williams a bit uncharacteristic for sammy well certainly there
21:44are advantages to being the champ there's also advantage to have a little yachty on the outside
21:48of your hype man and as we've seen on smackdown the past couple of weeks doesn't mind getting
21:54physical at times too zayn's got to be aware of that little yachty checking on his his guy and sammy
22:00zayn now outside the ring yeah you better turn around oh sammy zayn now well zayn has taken some
22:07shots from yachty as i just mentioned and there is your payback zayn's talked a lot about ride or die
22:15those are the fans that have been with him in the beginning through thick and thing and thin and still
22:20stick with him yadi is driven into the barricade well if trick williams did have an advantage on the
22:27outside that advantage has now gone away and it truly is one-on-one and trick looks to be in
22:34major
22:34trouble now and sammy zayn now that killer instinct driving trick into the post this is what sammy had
22:44to do take trick and the crowd completely out of this oh trick williams at this point looks lots
22:53oh remember being on the grand stage of wrestlemania a new thing for him sammy zayn
23:01has had some very successful wrestlemanias over the years you have so much adrenaline and excitement
23:06coming into your first wrestlemania has that oh my god brain buster right on the apron a brain buster to
23:16williams
23:17and that is absolutely devastating to trick williams's host landing high and tight right on the back of the
23:23neck the back of the head and i gotta say wade you've been following the sammy story for weeks
23:29now on smackdown this is a much different sammy zayn than i'm accustomed to it had to be sammy zayn
23:35was
23:35taking too many l sammy zayn was getting made a mockery of by people like trick williams has taunted
23:42him call him the gingerbread man told Tommy has no star appeal well guess what sammy zayn has a hell
23:49of a
23:50lot in the tank he might not look like the prototypical star like a trick williams but boy oh boy
23:56can he fight
23:57sammy zayn measuring williams now driving williams to the barricade with a boot you think sammy not
24:05having an opportunity well he's had the opportunities but it hasn't been able to cash in on a world
24:09championship finally sent him over the edge that's where it all went wrong at royal rumble earlier this
24:15year against the then champ drew mcintyre lost the opportunity for gold sank and sank and suddenly
24:20has turned things around in a big way i just want to point out that sammy was pointing to his
24:25knee pads
24:25that's where the ride or die is painted on them well he's made it clear people in the oh the
24:31camera's getting high here wait a second trick williams falling down now and the official eight
24:36close to a count out here at eight a count of nine trick williams barely beats the count into the
24:41rank
24:41barely he might be right for the pickings now and sammy zayn knows that we're talking about the ride
24:47or dies and referee hey we saw this a couple of weeks ago with carmelo hayes a little distraction there
24:52from the referee who's trying to check on trick williams and no hesitation to pounce there from
24:57sammy zayn say what it is it's a cheap shot it's a smart shot in my book and plenty of
25:03people have
25:04done this too and this is how he beat carmelo hayes sammy zayn with williams coming up in the corner
25:09zayn looking for an oliva kick to put trick williams away and now lil yadi from behind hanging zayn up
25:16top
25:17rope bang cover almost had him oh with the referees back turned lil yadi back from the dead almost
25:29winning it for trick williams one shot didn't do it the second might no call
25:35sammy trying to drag himself to his feet went for the trick shot sammy zayn from behind rolls up
25:41williams shoulders down kick out at two by trick such incredible speed of thought from sammy zayn
25:47and explorer into the corner and now sammy's got williams exactly where he wants him well hype is
25:53temporary but class is permanent and sammy zayn is class through and through from bell to bell zayn
26:01measuring his man across the ring trick shot trick shot from out of nowhere trick williams brings the
26:10united states title here is your winner the new united states champion trick williams
26:30trick williams is officially anointed with the gold oh this is where sammy zayn was
26:43going in for the kill and lil yadi had been dropped earlier behind the referee's back open it up for
26:49this
26:49big old boot to the face just a millisecond away from victory but sammy zayn we know how deep he
26:57can
26:57dig one exploder suplex later and it was sammy's for the taking lining up for that halluva kick that
27:05has done so much damage but simply beating him to the punch with that trick shot knee pad down and
27:13we got a new
27:13jump as we have seen tonight at wrestlemania sunday how bright is the future for wwe
27:46and there's rick williams mom and dad front row watching your son with an historic wrestlemania tonight
27:56and spare a thought for sammy zayn whose world has just imploded but tonight it is all about trick willie
28:04and his lemon pepper steppers that are going to be stepping out of las vegas carrying 10 pounds extra
28:11namely the united states championship
28:16little assist from little yadi there your guy and just the despair in the face of sammy zayn there
28:24was a temporary reprieve for a couple of weeks when sammy won the united states title but sammy zayn's
28:30got to figure out what's going on in his life and fast i talked about that papering over the cracks
28:35for
28:35sammy zayn when those cracks are exposed once again but trick willie doesn't care he's the jack
28:49so
29:00get my passport

30:11Let's go!
30:12Woohoo!
30:14Mario!
30:16A handshake?
30:18Just thought it could be cool.
30:19Ready PG, in beers now.
30:27For decades, one stage has defined greatness.
30:34Icons were made here.
30:37Legacies were built here.
30:39This is WrestleMania.
30:45He was intriguing, and they wanted to see more of it.
30:49Here comes the war.
30:51Just show up, they put in the main event everywhere we go.
30:54The character didn't really have a persona, other than he was big and nasty and mean.
31:02We have a conversation now that we could have some problems right here and now.
31:07Everybody's been running scared.
31:08They've been feeding me this grade B meat.
31:11Every week on TV.
31:12I want the best now.
31:14All these superstars, they've been hiding in the eye of the storm, brother.
31:18I've been whipping everybody out here.
31:20As I was becoming more popular, all the promoters, they said,
31:24with your look and as big as you are, you need to be in New York.
31:30Madison Square Garden is the epitome of wrestling.
31:35And there's a guy named Vince McMahon Sr. who called.
31:40And he wants you to come to New York.
31:45So I went up there, Vince McMahon's clicking quarters,
31:49looking at me.
31:50I want you to come to work for me.
31:52We're nothing but main events.
31:55And draw money all over the world.
31:57And I said, oh, really?
31:58First off, I would change the name.
32:02It is the incredible Hulk Hogan!
32:08And I said, what is a Hulk Hogan?
32:10What does that mean?
32:12Back in the day, my dad gave him his name.
32:14He was this big kid.
32:16And my dad, of course, being Irish, decided Hogan.
32:18That's a great name.
32:19So why not Hulk Hogan?
32:21It was alliterative.
32:22So let's go with that.
32:23But I'm Italian.
32:26Vince doesn't matter to me.
32:29Yeah, okay.
32:30I'll think about it.
32:33His opponent makes his Madison Square Garden debut.
32:37The incredible Hulk Hogan!
32:42The very first match that Hulk Hogan ever had in Madison Square Garden was with yours truly, Ted DiBiase.
32:49Here is the million-dollar man, Ted DiBiase!
33:03When Hulk and I had that match, Vince McMahon Sr. came to me and he said, we have really high
33:11hopes for this guy.
33:12I really want you to get him over as best you can.
33:16Putting someone over means he's going to win.
33:19And I said, you got it, boss.
33:21Oh, he was brand new.
33:23He was obviously just still learning.
33:25But my job was to make him look really good.
33:30When we first locked up, you know, he powers out.
33:37I back up into the corner like, oh my gosh.
33:41You know, I'm trying to convey to the people that, you know, what do I have to do to get
33:47this guy down?
33:51For this to be the forefront of the wrestling business, the main event in Madison Square Garden, the beginning of
33:58a whole new era, I thought I had arrived.
34:10And it could be over.
34:15And it could be over.
34:43Rated T for Team.
34:45In this game, there is no luck.
34:48Luck is for losers.
34:50It's unlike any place in the world.
34:53It's not even a place.
34:55It's a destination.
34:56WrestleMania, 42 years, over 400 matches.
35:02And now, history is what you make of it.
35:05WWE 2K26, the show never stops.
35:10I'm gonna stand up and shout.
35:12I'm gonna do things my way.
35:25And the celebrities are out tonight, and I got one question.
35:27How the hell is the 49ers tight end George Kittle still functioning today?
35:33After the beers he was drinking yesterday at WrestleMania.
35:36And next to him, of course, from the Pacers, Tyrese Halliburk.
35:40I'm begging Tyrese to have a sip of the beer.
35:52Nice.
35:53Tony Hinchlip is here.
35:55Monday on Netflix, Killed Tony.
35:56That was recorded last night here in Las Vegas.
36:00And also, Glock.
36:02Glock Beach is tonight in Las Vegas.
36:04The party ticket's still available, GlockBeach.com.
36:08Anything you can do, Kittle, I can do better, or maybe not.
36:11That was a light sip.
36:13I'm a bit disappointed, Glock.
36:16Yes!
36:19You know, if we go tonight, we're gonna have to do this.
36:22We should go.
36:23Pass me a credit card.
36:24We'll book it right now.
36:25Are you gonna wear your manchini again?
36:30The following is a street fight.
36:36There are no disqualifications, no count outs.
36:39The only way to win is by pinball or submission.
36:53There are nolliroers of events.
36:58The only way to win is the win is by P.
36:58So the flags are emerging nowadays.
36:58I must be in the строiteesque.
36:59The only way to win is in pay when all kinds of people are impacted.
37:01Yes we go.
37:04Oh yeah.
37:05I must be in the tub of defense, no part of democracy.
37:07Yes we go.
37:11You go.

37:53No!
37:53No!
37:53Well, Dominic Osterio calls himself the king of the luchadors, hence the throne.

40:35and quickly
40:37and quickly
41:05and quickly
41:07and quickly
41:07and quickly
41:07and quickly
41:35and quickly
43:50And his opponent, the demon, Finn Balor.
43:58Dominic Mysterio, welcome to hell.
44:05For the first time in three years, the demon is alive.
44:15And he's looking like a damn voodoo shaman.
44:19I mean, who the hell would want to fight that?
44:22Some of our deepest, darkest nightmares come to life.
44:26I'm ready to throw down with Dirty Dom.
44:28Well, Dom looks scared to death.
44:30Don't blame him?
44:31Talked a big game on the kickoff show this past Friday.
44:34I'm not scared of the demon.
44:36I'm going to go out there and take this guy out.
44:39Yet Dominic has yet to get in the ring.
44:42Well, taking out Finn Balor was how this all began.
44:47Yeah, one of the original members of the Judgment Day.
44:49Dirty Dom has been a revolving cast in the Judgment Day since day one.
44:56Until unceremoniously ejected by Dirty Dom and friends.
45:01It was at WrestleMania last year where Dominic Mysterio would pin Finn Balor.
45:06And a fatal four way to win the Intercontinental title.
45:08But this is the first time these two have gone one-on-one.
45:11And now Demon making his way across the ring.
45:14And if you're Mysterio Wade, what the hell do you do?
45:17You start running, first of all.
45:19And then you kind of don't stop until you get the hell out of the stadium and into your rental
45:23car.
45:24However, I'm not Dirty Dom Mysterio.
45:27And Dirty Dom Mysterio is a prime fighter.
45:30And he's a champion.
45:32Yeah, the AAA Mega Champion.
45:34He's held it for over 200 days.
45:35Actually won the championship here in Las Vegas.
45:38Nice takedown by the Demon, who now unloads on Dominic Mysterio.
45:43And here's the issue with this demon persona of Finn Balor.
45:47This is his alter ego where he can unleash his darkest instincts.
45:51It's primal and it's almost unstoppable.
45:54It's where his artistic and wrestling sides meet.
45:56His personality changes, he says, when the war paint goes on.
46:00To your point, the more aggressive side is channeled.
46:03It's also where his highest career moment, winning the World Championship back in 2016,
46:09was under this persona.
46:11So this does not bode well, given this horrific start for Dirty Dom.
46:20Yeah, Dominic just trying to get back somehow into this fight
46:23as the demon wipes out Mysterio to the floor.
46:27Listen, Dirty Dom brought all of this upon himself.
46:31I'll tell you right now, Dirty Dom was originally the errand boy for the Judgment Day.
46:37You wanted to seize power, you were only doing that by taking out the top dog.
46:42And that top dog was Finn Balor.
46:44Remember, a street fight needs anything goes.
46:46Balor now, I should say demon now, with a kendo stick.
46:50That's all he needs.
46:53Major retribution after the abuse thrown at Finn Balor over the past several months.
46:59Well, Dominic did just what he does to anybody who's his elder.
47:02Look at his dad, Rey Mysterio.
47:03He finally said, I'm better than you.
47:05I don't need you.
47:06And what does he do?
47:06He kicks him out of the group.
47:08He does it to anybody who disrespects him.
47:10And Finn Balor certainly disrespected Dirty Dom.
47:13And now Dirty Dom out of the way.
47:15He takes the demon down.
47:16And finally, for the first time tonight, Dominic's on offense.
47:19Yeah, and that's part of the issue in a street fight.
47:21You spend time looking for weaponry.
47:24Oh, you take your eye off your opponent.
47:26And now Dom unloading with a kendo stick to the demon.
47:29And he's got the demon really now.
47:33Kendo stick getting swung around with wild abandon.
47:36You could have someone's eye out with that.
47:38If you might stop flexing and give him the ring wall, you've got the demon down.
47:41If you were as sexy as Dirty Dom, you'd be flexing too, Michael Cole.
47:47Well, as it stands, please keep your suit on.
47:52This is the seventh time there's been a street fight in the history of WrestleMania.
47:58Believe it or not, just doing a little research here.
48:00I wanna thank my stat guys back in Connecticut.
48:02John Chick, Greg Miller, for all the great help this weekend.
48:06Dominic Mysterio, Finn Balor have both been in three street fight matches in their career.
48:11I'm surprised at that stat, especially as it comes to Dominic.
48:14Well, Dirty Dom is a well-rounded competitor.
48:17Why is that so much career success?
48:20And the fact that people like you are still naysayers to this day blows my mind, Michael Cole.
48:25Learn some respect.
48:27The way naysayers is not the right word is he see Dominic go after demon.
48:30I completely think Dominic's a great athlete.
48:34He's been a great champion.
48:35It's the way he carries himself, the way he disrespects his dad,
48:38the way he disrespects elders like Finn Balor.
48:42That's what gets me about Mysterio.
48:44Well, if you treat Dirty Dominic Mysterio badly, he will repay that tenfold.
48:48And certainly his dad, Rey Mysterio, treated him horribly.
48:51And Finn Balor of late has done the same.
48:55That's one way to look at it.
48:56Well, the entire history of Finn Balor over the past four years,
48:59the success has all revolved around the numbers game of the tournament day.
49:03And Finn Balor turned his back on that.
49:06And now the Demon with a sling blade.
49:09This is the Demon now ratcheting up through the gears,
49:13taking punishment, and it's just bounced off it.
49:16And Dominic caught him with a superkick.
49:19And Mysterio, he's very resilient.
49:21There's no doubt about that.
49:22And he's the master of the 6-1-9.
49:25From the other side, connecting to the Demon.
49:27And now, gonna go up top.
49:29What a win this would be for Dominic Mysterio.
49:32Frog's blast, cover, isn't it enough to put the Demon away?
49:35A kick out at one, at one.
49:37That was Sean Bennett.
49:39Couldn't believe how quick that was.
49:41Yeah, that was absolutely freakish.
49:42Dom has won countless matches with that combo.
49:45Simply not enough tonight against this version of the Demon.
49:51And you know, in many ways, uh-oh, Demon now.
49:56Down goes Dom.
49:59Just otherworldly athleticism from this man.
50:02How do you possibly contend with an opponent who is capable of what the Demon is?
50:07Dominic sent into the corner by the Demon.
50:11Now the Demon measuring his man.
50:13And again into the corner goes Dom.
50:15Teeing off at will, and nothing Dom is doing now is working.
50:20Well, he's in the drop zone, too.
50:21And he better get out of there, or it could be the end for Dirty Dom.
50:25Went for the coup de grace.
50:26And Dominic Mysterio with a steel chair off the face of the Demon.
50:30Tremendous presence of mind there from Dom.
50:33Hook of the leg.
50:34Demon this time at two in their fall for Mysterio.
50:37Yeah, well, that was a late, late kick out there after the steel glance off the skull of the Demon.
50:43Take another look at this attempt at a coup de grace that would have ended it.
50:47Met with cold, hard steel to the forehead.
50:52And that is a late, late kick out there.
50:54Suddenly the Demon not feeling quite as imposing as he was several moments ago.
50:59And Dominic now taking this opportunity to pull out some more hardware.
51:08And with the Demon down, build a method of destruction,
51:13a method of torture that will finish the job for good.
51:17What a weekend it would be for the Judgment Day.
51:21If Dom can win tonight, Liv Morgan won the world title last night
51:24at WrestleMania Saturday, Dom's girlfriend.
51:28Well, they're one and one right now.
51:30Poor J.D. McDonough unsuccessful in the line of match earlier tonight.
51:34It was incredible, but not quite enough on the night.
51:37For this to tip it in the favor of the Judgment Day.
51:40But I do not like the look in the eyes of the Demon here.
51:44See, Dominic took a little bit too much time there.
51:47And the Demon able to capitalize.
51:49The Street Bowl, God, here we go.
51:51Demon almost into the table, able to stop himself.
51:54Another swing wave to Dom.
51:56But all the momentum now back squarely with the Demon.
52:05Super kick stops the Demon.
52:07It is trapped now into the table, which collapses on the Demon.
52:12Just a bone crunching thud there from the Demon.
52:15Demon, I don't care what mystical powers you may have.
52:19That will take anybody down.
52:24Oh, God.
52:25Well, Dom going for a super 619 now.
52:30Connecting.
52:31And the Demon stunned.
52:33With an absolute thud.
52:35And now it surely is game over.
52:38Frog splash.
52:39Frog splash.
52:40Cover.
52:42Demon again at two.
52:44And now if you're Dominic, you got to be, what the hell do I do to put this guy away?
52:48Well, it's a combination of disbelief and sheer fear at this point.
52:53Because a 619 steel assisted, followed up by a beautifully executed frog splash.
53:00It should be over.
53:01But somehow, unfathomably, it's not.
53:05You saw Dominic almost questioning himself moments ago.
53:09As you look on, massive crowd again tonight.
53:11Over 50,000 at Allegiant Stadium.
53:14Completely legal.
53:15Street fight rules.
53:17Steel tear.
53:18Clearing out the Demon.
53:19Just an example of superstars raising their game on the biggest stage of them all here at WrestleMania.
53:26You have to dig deeper than normal.
53:29Now what's he looking for?
53:35Now another table.
53:36First one broke.
53:37Let's...
53:38To Dom's advantage.
53:39Let's do it again.
53:40It broke due to the carcass of the Demon being thrown through it.
53:45One didn't do it, maybe two will.
53:51Demon has not moved since getting worn out with a chair.
53:56Absolutely walloped four or five times in a row.
54:01Knocking the stuffing out of the Demon, whose hopes at this point look to be going up in smoke.
54:07Yeah, I mean, this would be a massive upset for Dominic Mysterio tonight.
54:11He's having issues with this table and just a beat extra there.
54:15He's always proved pivotal in this kind of match.
54:17And now getting mocked by this audience.
54:20What's he's disgraceful from this packed attendance here in Las Vegas?
54:23Why is it disgraceful?
54:24Uh-oh, Demon's up.
54:30That's why it's disgraceful.
54:32They distracted him and now the Demon is in full command.
54:35And Dominic Mysterio about to get worn out.
54:47Just savagely beating Dirty Dom Mysterio in a match that Dirty Dom wanted no part of, to be clear.
54:53Well, a little payback for what Dom and J.D. McDonough did to Finn Balor the night they kicked him
54:58out of Judgment Day.
54:59Oh, God, what are you cooking up here?
55:01Well, Dom is trapped.
55:02Trapped in the steel chair.
55:05Oh, God, oh, my goodness.
55:09Dom's neck just snapped backwards.
55:15Dom may be out.
55:17The Demon going up top.
55:20Dom's defenseless.
55:24Good loss.
55:25Through the table.
55:32The Demon wins.
55:37Here is your winner, The Demon, Finn Balor.
55:45Well, an incredibly grisly affair.
55:49A ferocious beatdown of both men.
55:53But this man, The Demon, may be superhuman after what he absorbed to bounce back and score victory.
56:21Well, Dirty Dom, as I mentioned before, brought all of this upon himself.
56:29They've been living with regret for a long time.
56:32This is when Finn Balor went ham with that steel chair.
56:37The Demon completely taking control of this.
56:40In the closing moments, this dropping did major damage to the neck of Dirty Dom.
56:46But this was the moment that finished it for good.
56:49The coup de grace of the top rope, through a table.
56:53And the broken and battered body of Dirty Dominic Mysterio simply had no chance from there.
57:03The Demon has risen.
57:07And he slain Dirty Dom.
57:14This August.
57:19From the home of the Minnesota Vikings.
57:24Two epic nights of WWE Summer Slam.
57:28Welcome, everyone, to the biggest event of the summer.
57:38Are you ready?
57:40Summer Slam, Saturday, August 1st, and Sunday, August 2nd.
