00:00:11Summerslam.
00:00:13Summerslam.
00:00:17Does Seth have a match two weeks out?
00:00:22Whatever it is, can blow his knee out.
00:00:26Like, bullshit blows knee out, but we shoot with it like it's legit.
00:00:31Don't tell anybody, you know what I mean?
00:00:34Do the whole shebang.
00:00:36He's on crutches for a couple of weeks.
00:00:38He's got his, like, brace on, and, you know, Summerslam here comes Seth Rollins,
00:00:43throws his crutches, runs down the ring, smashes him, cashes it in,
00:00:47and fucking takes the title.
00:00:48Walks out of there as the champ.
00:00:50Yeah.
00:00:52He'd be such an asshole, too, because he'd probably hobble out for two,
00:00:55four seconds, and then just be like,
00:00:58fucking run out, and then go running down that whole thing.
00:01:02This would be one of those ones where I wouldn't want to fucking tell anybody.
00:01:05Nope.
00:01:06Yeah.
00:01:07If we're gonna do this, we gotta keep it, like, literally this team.
00:01:11Don't put that in the notes.
00:01:14And if we could sell it, like, legitimately like he was fucking hurt and out of Summerslam,
00:01:19you might have some people who, I don't know, this might be a work or something.
00:01:25What is a work?
00:01:26Yeah.
00:01:27Uh, this point I would like to invoke my Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
00:01:35Son of a lawyer, you know.
00:01:44Sorry to disappoint everyone, but I'm not a fan of this show.
00:01:52I grew up in an era where you defended the secrecy of this business.
00:01:58To the point where, if you didn't, you were beaten up and ostracized from the business.
00:02:07It's jarring to someone who grew up in the industry where secrecy was a matter of life and death of
00:02:16your career.
00:02:19I think this show is gonna flow a whole lot better if you simply just depose me.
00:02:27I'll treat this like a deposition.
00:02:30Ask me your questions.
00:02:31I'll tell you no lies.
00:02:34How important is a work in wrestling?
00:02:41How important is a work in wrestling?
00:02:44What?
00:02:45Look at that!
00:02:46Look at that!
00:02:47That's America!
00:02:48Kevin Nash lives!
00:02:51Khali will crush his skull.
00:02:54Oh, no.
00:02:55Oh, my God.
00:02:55No!
00:02:56The work in wrestling, a lot less important today than it used to be, except at a very top level.
00:03:10We had a very famous moment where Tommy Dreamer was in a match against the Sandman.
00:03:15And the Sandman lit his cigarette.
00:03:19And Tommy Dreamer hit the Sandman's hand and a cigarette went into the Sandman's eye.
00:03:24And Tommy Dreamer took the Singapore team and cracked the Sandman in the other eye and the Sandman went down.
00:03:37And for five weeks on television, we were telling you that the Sandman was blind.
00:03:45Stay awake, Hack.
00:03:46You gotta stay awake.
00:03:47Come on!
00:03:48Come on!
00:03:48You gotta shoot him!
00:03:49Come on!
00:03:50Get the camera all the way out of here!
00:03:51For five weeks, he never left his house.
00:03:57Didn't take his kids to school.
00:03:59Didn't go grocery shopping.
00:04:03And we brought him back for his retirement ceremony.
00:04:06It was a very sad moment.
00:04:08The Sandman has already announced his retirement after being blinded.
00:04:13The Sandman peeled off the bandages from his eyes, revealing that he wasn't truly blind.
00:04:20What was this?
00:04:22He can see!
00:04:25He can see!
00:04:26He can see!
00:04:28He can see!
00:04:28He can see!
00:04:2931 years later, people still talk about that.
00:04:34Are you kidding me?
00:04:37Now you tell me, was that a work?
00:04:42Or was it just performance art in which the performance art was protected
00:04:48so that you were more emotionally involved in the moment when he revealed that he wasn't blind?
00:04:58That's how we earn our living.
00:05:10For a lot of business reasons, events are coming faster and more furiously than they have ever come before.
00:05:18You end up with a weekend like we're at, Saturday Night's Main Event, and Evolution.
00:05:23And oh, by the way, they're only three weeks out from SummerSlam.
00:05:27It's incredibly challenging.
00:05:29This weekend, we're also trying to do business with a guy like Jelly Roll.
00:05:36My name is Jason D. Ford, and my mama gave me the name Jelly Roll as well.
00:05:43I was a chunky kid, as you could imagine, like a super fat kid, and I loved donuts.
00:05:48And instead of calling me Jelly Donuts, she called me her little Jelly Roll, and it just stuck.
00:05:52I always thank my mama.
00:05:54She might have called me Slim Jim, I might have had a six pack.
00:05:56I spent my whole life trying to live up to my name.
00:05:59I am 40 years old, and my normal profession is I'm a musician.
00:06:07I don't know where you're at in your life or what you're going through, but I want to tell you
00:06:16to keep going, baby.
00:06:18I want to tell you success is on the other side of it.
00:06:20I want to tell you it's going to be okay.
00:06:23Let's party, Nashville!
00:06:26I'm not a wrestler for those just tuning in.
00:06:30I watched all these celebrities get these cool matches.
00:06:33So when I started doing music and people started noticing me, it was like always kind of my North Star.
00:06:38I was like, I wonder if I'll get famous enough that I'll actually get involved to be in one of
00:06:42these wrestling matches as a celebrity.
00:06:46Boom! Boom! Boom shakalaka!
00:06:48A lot of times we're approached by folks not in the business and celebrities that think this might be fun.
00:06:56It is fun.
00:06:58You have to be able to do it.
00:07:01It was Monday Night Raw in Nashville, 2023.
00:07:07And Randy Orton's there.
00:07:10And it was super, super cool.
00:07:12And that was the first time I was like, dude, I'm famous enough to let me get involved.
00:07:15So it was really cool.
00:07:17The CMN award winner just dumped Dominic.
00:07:20All I got to do was push Dominic Mysterio, but I wasn't physically able to do much more.
00:07:25Summer Slam 2024.
00:07:27When I'm getting up from doing the five knuckle shuffle, I'm hanging onto a rope and R-True's got one
00:07:33arm and Miz has got another arm.
00:07:35And at that moment I realized I was so big that it took two grown men to get me to
00:07:40stand up.
00:07:43I knew that if I didn't do something it was going to kill me.
00:07:47And I just remember leaving there and being like, I will be back next summer a different fucking human.
00:07:59I just kind of shot my shot and I was like, hey, Triple H, I'm losing this weight, man.
00:08:03Like, what's up? You know what I mean?
00:08:05Like, I'm dead serious about this.
00:08:07Training for Summer Slam.
00:08:09We're going to see how much we weigh today.
00:08:14Will it stay on there when I get off?
00:08:15Because I can't even see if I'm so fat and close to it.
00:08:21327 pounds, baby.
00:08:22300 pounds.
00:08:24We're going to walk to that ring that night.
00:08:26Under 300 pounds for the first time since I was probably 14 years old.
00:08:31That exact number, around 330 pounds, was the exact time I jumped off the horse last time I tried to
00:08:38lose the weight.
00:08:40On a selfish level, I need this.
00:08:42This might motivate me to push me past that number I've never seen before on the scale.
00:08:47Jelly Roll approached us.
00:08:49He fought to be a part of Summer Slam.
00:08:53Then Jelly Roll moved, got a house, got two houses actually, in Orlando.
00:08:59One for him and then one for his crew, so that when he finished working out, he went and wrote
00:09:05songs at night.
00:09:06Because that's his job.
00:09:10Walking in that first day and looking at Matt Bloom like, my bubba, I'm not even a good piece of
00:09:16clay here.
00:09:16Every time I chew up, please.
00:09:17That's all right.
00:09:18You got a lot to learn.
00:09:22I have never done a flip, ever.
00:09:25You got a lot to learn.
00:09:28Hey, my side of getting up from here is a bit of a sword.
00:09:32Every day, it scared me.
00:09:34Three, two, one, stop.
00:09:36My fear in wrestling was, had I bit off more than I could chew?
00:09:41Here we go.
00:09:43Was I physically going to be able to do it?
00:09:47You can imagine my first week, my body was going, no, you're not, you're not, there's no way you're going
00:09:52to be ready for this.
00:09:53But, uh, that same dog that came out of me that was determined to make it as a songwriter started
00:10:00coming out of me in there.
00:10:04From 11 to 2 o'clock every day, I'd let Coach Matt Bloom, Coach Moss, Coach Brookside beat me to
00:10:09death.
00:10:10Let this fella go.
00:10:12Let him go.
00:10:13Wednesday Jelly, we're going to work on selling.
00:10:16You getting your ass kicked.
00:10:26I've never been through something that was more grueling that I cannot wait to get back to doing.
00:10:31Dude, I'm going to fucking have a SummerSlam match.
00:10:34It's going to be the coolest thing ever.
00:10:36Where's the fucking rest of the ass?
00:10:37You skinny motherfucker.
00:10:39What are you weighing?
00:10:40What are you weighing?
00:10:41Right at three months.
00:10:42Yeah?
00:10:43First time since middle school.
00:10:44Fuck.
00:10:45First time since middle school.
00:10:47Yeah, what's your spine feel like?
00:10:49It's fun.
00:10:49God, I can feel it.
00:10:50Right?
00:10:50I know where it's at.
00:10:51My ass crack went down a little bit.
00:10:53Oh my gosh.
00:10:54I'm proud of you, man.
00:10:56Fuck.
00:10:56It's fucking inspiring.
00:10:58Makes me want to go to the gym right fucking down here.
00:11:02I tell you what, did you watch any of the video?
00:11:04I did.
00:11:05He's in better shoes.
00:11:06He's good.
00:11:07He ain't fucking bad.
00:11:08He ain't bad.
00:11:10That was...
00:11:10Second time in the ring.
00:11:12Yeah, but I mean like literally they worked out for like an hour or two and then he did
00:11:17like first five minutes of a match.
00:11:19Yeah.
00:11:20It was pretty good.
00:11:22It's like he was bouncing around the other day like in between shit and he was like throwing
00:11:26jabs and I was like, this motherfucker's Dusty.
00:11:29Like he's like a sloppier version of Dusty.
00:11:32He would get up, he'd get knocked down or whatever and he'd get up and do the like dance around,
00:11:36bounce around shit.
00:11:37And I thought, god damn.
00:11:39There could be something there.
00:11:41And in looking at different people to team with Jelly Roll, you've got to have a leader.
00:11:47You've got to have someone that can control everybody and everything.
00:11:53Randy Orton was perfect for a tag team partner.
00:11:55When you look at assholes to beat up, you've got Drew McIntyre, that's an easy one.
00:12:00And then Logan Paul.
00:12:01It really fell together very well.
00:12:14I'll be a lot more ready in three weeks.
00:12:16I'm sore.
00:12:17I'm still sore.
00:12:17The first hell, I'm still sore.
00:12:19I'm a weekend.
00:12:20I'm sore now.
00:12:20Shoulder hurts.
00:12:21Neck hurts.
00:12:22I'm bruised everywhere.
00:12:25Once we get cameras out here and everything, Jelly, we'll go over tonight.
00:12:30When he comes face to face with you, he'll throw the punch.
00:12:33You block it, lay his ass out.
00:12:37Now you go back to Randy and we'll do the Claymore.
00:12:40Does that make sense?
00:12:41You feel good about everything, sir?
00:12:43Great.
00:12:44Yes, sir.
00:12:45The truth is, in this business, one of the hardest things to do is make everybody lose
00:12:50that sense of scripted or unscripted.
00:12:55If we can make people believe that Seth is injured, there's a really cool payoff at the end.
00:13:02There wasn't very many people in on it that knew about it, very much like the John Cena
00:13:07Elimination Chamber situation.
00:13:10For this to work to perfection, that circle of people that were in the know had to be very small.
00:13:15Okay.
00:13:16I want to smarten you up to something that nobody knows.
00:13:19Okay.
00:13:21But I want you to not repeat it to anybody, but you're our guy.
00:13:29You need to know what's going on here.
00:13:31Okay.
00:13:33We're going to do an angle tonight where Seth closes Neo in this match of L.A. night.
00:13:37Okay.
00:13:38Paul.
00:13:40We're going to do this now because they've got to steal L.A.
00:13:43You guys...
00:13:43We're kayfaving this like a motherfucker, so I don't want you to mention it to anybody
00:13:47because everybody will feel like, well, Connor told everybody, you know, got out.
00:13:51The only people that really know me, Bruce, Ed, Bobby Roode, Seth, L.A.
00:13:56Heyman knows because he was there when I came up with it.
00:13:59Yeah.
00:13:59Right now, that's it.
00:14:01I don't know what move they're going to do yet, but he'll do something towards the end
00:14:04of the match where he, like, blows his knee out.
00:14:06And L.A. sets up for the next thing, but, like, Seth ain't there.
00:14:09He's not coming.
00:14:10He's down.
00:14:10He goes to Jess.
00:14:11Jess gives the X.
00:14:13Medical comes out.
00:14:14Legit.
00:14:15Goes to him.
00:14:16Wow.
00:14:17He'll call an audible.
00:14:18Yeah.
00:14:19Which Jess will go tell L.A. night.
00:14:21Did the referee need to know?
00:14:22No.
00:14:24Her responsibility is report if somebody is injured or not injured.
00:14:28Did medical need to know?
00:14:30Yes.
00:14:31Because I can't let them believe an injury is real.
00:14:34If they believe an injury is real, they have the power to shut it all down.
00:14:38Wise man once told me two people you can't lie to in life, your lawyer and your doctor.
00:14:43We'll take a BFT from L.A. night and get beat.
00:14:46L.A. night will leave.
00:14:47We'll help Seth out of the ring.
00:14:49Yeah.
00:14:50One of the few people that I couldn't in good conscience let think that this was real was L.A.
00:14:56night.
00:14:58I'm sure Seth will just say, tell him to, when I pull myself up, tell him to fucking give me
00:15:02his finish and just go over and, like, whether you kick him, you give it to him, or just he'll
00:15:07feed you and you just give it, you know what I mean?
00:15:08No.
00:15:09No.
00:15:09We'll figure that out.
00:15:11But Seth came to me and he said, why does L.A. night need to know?
00:15:13I don't feel like he needs to know.
00:15:14And I said, Seth, if the roles were reversed on this and I didn't tell you, you would be out
00:15:20of your mind pissed at me.
00:15:22Because you're a professional and you're in the ring and your first thought is make sure your opponent is safe
00:15:27and doesn't get hurt and all these things.
00:15:29And he gets hurt on your watch.
00:15:32And then you find out later it was all bullshit.
00:15:35You'd be out of your mind mad that I didn't clue you in on that.
00:15:38And he paused for a few seconds.
00:15:41Looking at me like, fair enough.
00:15:43And he never brought it up again, right?
00:15:45He has to know.
00:15:46If you're able to like, if he just feeds you and you pull him out and you just hit it,
00:15:51as awkward as it could possibly look.
00:15:53And be very careful hooking his leg.
00:15:56But we're going to play it off as full blown legit.
00:15:59Yeah, this is going to hook him.
00:16:00So he's out.
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:01Oh, that's great.
00:16:02Awesome.
00:16:03Okay.
00:16:06Oh, happy day.
00:16:08Oh, happy day.
00:16:10Oh, happy day.
00:16:11Oh, happy day.
00:16:12I was nervous about everything.
00:16:14I was nervous about, could I hurt somebody?
00:16:16What if I come in this business for just one night into their world selfishly and I hurt one of
00:16:20these guys?
00:16:21You know, I didn't want nobody to get hurt on my watch.
00:16:23That was super important to me.
00:16:24Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:16:27Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:16:29Ba-la-la-la-la-la.
00:16:30Ba-la-la-la-la.
00:16:30Ba-la-la-la-la.
00:16:32He taught me how.
00:16:35All right, yeah, there you go.
00:16:38The hardest part of that night was fireworks happening inside of me and me not being able to emote it.
00:16:45Tonight, everyone is buzzing about this spectacle.
00:16:50Celebrity night's main event.
00:16:52Arrow.
00:17:00Ah, good, good, good, good.
00:17:04Okay, everybody, we're good.
00:17:07Okay.

00:18:01You're in the wrong arena.

00:20:41Yeah
00:20:41I wasn't really sure
00:20:42when Bruce first sat me down
00:20:44What was that?
00:20:45I wasn't really sure
00:20:46when Bruce first sat me down
00:20:47Yeah
00:20:49Put it this way
00:20:49Having seen that motherfucker train
00:20:52because at first I was like
00:20:53I'll put him in a little something
00:20:55it'll be a fucking big deal
00:20:56I watched him go in and train twice
00:20:59they sent me the video
00:20:59so I was like
00:21:01okay now I'm thinking bigger
00:21:02and I was like
00:21:03he's all in dude
00:21:04I'm very thankful
00:21:05for this fuck
00:21:06Thank you
00:21:07Let's not
00:21:07Yeah
00:21:08Sign of the fact
00:21:14A lot of the creative
00:21:17ideas that I've had
00:21:18in my career
00:21:19have been mine
00:21:20this one I can't take
00:21:21full credit for
00:21:23What I saw
00:21:24when this idea
00:21:25was presented to me
00:21:26was an end game
00:21:28that created a moment
00:21:30that was special
00:21:31and memorable
00:21:35that's really what our industry is
00:21:37is a series of moments
00:21:39storytelling that builds
00:21:40to special moments
00:21:42that affect our audience
00:21:44on a deep level
00:21:48If this was a real situation
00:21:50how would we all react
00:21:51I didn't want to overreact
00:21:53I think Triple H
00:21:54as well
00:21:55and Bruce and Gorilla
00:21:56acted as if it was real
00:21:57There was only four people
00:21:59five people
00:21:59six
00:22:00maybe at the most
00:22:00that actually knew
00:22:01what the situation
00:22:03actually was
00:22:05Two-time
00:22:06United States
00:22:06champion
00:22:07LA Knight
00:22:07battling the five-time
00:22:09world champion
00:22:10Seth Rollins
00:22:11Seth Rollins
00:22:12and Rollins now
00:22:13launched outside the ring
00:22:14to the pool
00:22:15Time to keep going
00:22:18We did have to make sure
00:22:20that we didn't get
00:22:20the bell rung
00:22:21You know
00:22:21in situations like that
00:22:22when someone is actually hurt
00:22:24typically we'll ring
00:22:25the bell right away
00:22:26We had to be very
00:22:27very careful
00:22:28that we didn't do that
00:22:30Brian
00:22:31Kayfeg
00:22:32just me and you
00:22:32a little bit of
00:22:33fucking
00:22:35fuckery here
00:22:36Kayfeg fuckery
00:22:38on the end of this thing
00:22:39Do not let the
00:22:41fucking ring bell
00:22:42ring
00:22:43until the 1-2-3
00:22:45happens
00:22:45and I will tell you when
00:22:48As I wrapped my head
00:22:49around it
00:22:50I realized
00:22:50it was a brilliant
00:22:51piece of storytelling
00:22:53but you want to
00:22:54protect everybody involved
00:22:56You want to protect
00:22:57the company
00:22:58You want to protect
00:22:59your baby faces
00:23:00In this case
00:23:02LA Knight
00:23:03Oh and a
00:23:04knee range
00:23:05in the midsection
00:23:05Frog splash coming
00:23:06The visionary now
00:23:08heading up to the top rope
00:23:09looking to put
00:23:10LA Knight away
00:23:11Frog splash
00:23:12to the injured midsection
00:23:13and runs
00:23:13Rollins for the win
00:23:15Hook to the leg
00:23:16and a kick out
00:23:19That's the fun part
00:23:20of what we do
00:23:20as performers
00:23:21You never know
00:23:22You never know
00:23:22when it's a work
00:23:23and when it's a shoot
00:23:26LA Knight
00:23:26on the cross line
00:23:28And now Knight
00:23:29looking to rally
00:23:33And that grey area
00:23:34is what makes us
00:23:35special as performers
00:23:38If you can see through
00:23:39every single thing
00:23:40that we do
00:23:40it becomes
00:23:43boring
00:23:48Elbow delivered
00:23:49Knight cover
00:23:52And Rollins kicks it too
00:23:54When you get into
00:23:56the excitement
00:23:57of telling a story
00:23:58you look
00:24:00to exhaust
00:24:01whatever resources
00:24:03you have
00:24:04to tell that story
00:24:06in the best possible way
00:24:07And Rollins
00:24:09with a buckle bomb
00:24:10I don't think
00:24:11there's any line
00:24:12that can't be crossed
00:24:14It's just you gotta
00:24:15figure out
00:24:15what's worth crossing
00:24:18And now Rollins
00:24:19Oh there's that
00:24:20flying senton
00:24:21Springboard senton
00:24:22by Rollins
00:24:23And now a moonshot
00:24:24lands on his feet
00:24:25They have tweaked his knee
00:24:27It's alright
00:24:28It's alright
00:24:28And now LA Knight
00:24:30with an opportunity
00:24:31It's nothing okay
00:24:32Rollins into the corner
00:24:33the official area
00:24:34to check on Rollins
00:24:35Oh no
00:24:38Back off LA
00:24:39Back off LA
00:24:39Back off LA
00:24:40Tell him to give him a minute
00:24:41Rollins tweaking his knee
00:24:43Heyman over to check
00:24:44on his man
00:24:44Let's get
00:24:46We need a doc
00:24:47Do we need a doc
00:24:50What's he saying
00:24:51He said he needs a doc
00:24:53Fuck
00:24:53We're doing it
00:24:54God damn it man
00:24:56The ringside doctor now
00:24:57is over
00:24:58consulting with the official
00:24:59on the situation
00:25:00with Rollins
00:25:03What's he saying Jess
00:25:03Is he alright
00:25:07You hear that
00:25:09You good with that
00:25:09What was that
00:25:11He said
00:25:12Seth is fucked
00:25:13He said LA hit his finish
00:25:14Okay
00:25:15You gotta do it
00:25:16Tell LA
00:25:17Tell LA
00:25:18Just whatever Seth told him
00:25:20Rollins up
00:25:21Hobbling back up
00:25:22into the corner
00:25:23LA Knight
00:25:23BF BF T
00:25:24By LA Knight
00:25:26This is the finish
00:25:27Finish finish
00:25:27Cover down
00:25:28Hook of the leg
00:25:29Take it back with the win
00:25:33Go Larry
00:25:35Get doc in there
00:25:37Get doc in there
00:25:37And that is a bleak sight
00:25:39Seeing Seth freaking Rollins down and out
00:25:43Get LA out
00:25:44Tell him to sell up the ramp
00:25:48Truly catastrophic moment here
00:25:52Is that his bad knee
00:25:53The knee that he's
00:25:53I don't know
00:25:54Just give him some room
00:25:58Moments ago
00:25:59Rollins tweaking
00:26:00The knee
00:26:01It appears to be
00:26:02Much more serious
00:26:03Than we first thought
00:26:08When the time comes
00:26:09Everything changes
00:26:12And I think that suddenness
00:26:14Is what alerts people
00:26:16To believing
00:26:19That it's real
00:26:20And that's the art of it
00:26:21Anybody that doesn't need a beer
00:26:23Get everybody out of here
00:26:25So he can get through
00:26:26What matters
00:26:28This much
00:26:30This much doubt
00:26:33That's all we need
00:26:35This much doubt
00:26:36If you have that
00:26:38That's where the magic happens
00:26:40In our business
00:26:41That's what makes it special
00:26:43Just that little bit
00:26:44Of I don't know
00:26:46Did it come off
00:26:47Okay
00:26:47Unbelievable
00:26:48Just out of nowhere
00:26:49Out of nowhere
00:26:50Yep
00:26:50The way they shot it
00:26:52Just as
00:26:53Everything
00:26:54Everything was really good
00:26:55How did it feel
00:26:56Feel out there
00:26:57Feel legit
00:26:57Awkward
00:26:58Awkward
00:26:58Awkward, yeah
00:26:59It's supposed to feel awkward
00:27:00It was awkward backstage too
00:27:02It was great
00:27:07It was awkward as hell
00:27:09But that's kind of what sold it
00:27:10So with it being that awkward
00:27:13It just kind of
00:27:14You know
00:27:14It probably felt flat
00:27:15In the moment
00:27:16But that also allowed
00:27:17People to be like
00:27:18Oh shit
00:27:18Okay
00:27:19Yeah, dude's really hurt
00:27:21Can you spot the cameras off
00:27:23Just two seconds, please
00:27:25LA Knight played it
00:27:26Perfectly
00:27:26His facial expressions
00:27:28Were on point
00:27:29Of
00:27:29Oh shit
00:27:30No
00:27:31You could see
00:27:33His confusion
00:27:34And you could see
00:27:35His
00:27:36Ah shit
00:27:38It helped
00:27:40Fans to believe
00:27:42In the moment
00:27:42That
00:27:43Hmm
00:27:44Something real
00:27:45Just happened
00:27:49LA did great
00:27:50Played it to a T
00:27:51We were able
00:27:52To get out
00:27:52Of that situation
00:27:53Making it look
00:27:54Like it was
00:27:54An actual
00:27:56Real injury
00:28:08From the second
00:28:10I got hurt
00:28:11You had speculation
00:28:13All over
00:28:13The internet
00:28:15About what
00:28:15What this was
00:28:17Going to lead to
00:28:17If it was real
00:28:18If it was not real
00:28:19Wow, Seth Rollins
00:28:20Really might be answered
00:28:21Yeah
00:28:24There was
00:28:25Every story
00:28:25Under the sun
00:28:26And so
00:28:28When everything
00:28:29Was flooded
00:28:30You had no idea
00:28:31What the truth was
00:28:47No one
00:28:48Really knew
00:28:49What was going on
00:29:11The most important thing
00:29:13About five minutes
00:29:14Hand stance
00:29:15Like
00:29:16Keep
00:29:17My
00:29:19Mentality
00:29:24Of course
00:29:25So hard
00:29:26Five minutes
00:29:27Hand stance
00:29:28I really
00:29:29Think about
00:29:30I want to fall
00:29:36But
00:29:36I always think
00:29:38About
00:29:38I can do it
00:29:39I have to do it
00:29:40Because
00:29:41I am the champion
00:29:42Four
00:29:43Three
00:29:44Two
00:29:45One
00:29:46Five
00:29:53Six
00:29:56My first name
00:29:57Is Masami
00:29:58In real name
00:29:59So
00:30:00Masami
00:30:00But nobody
00:30:01Come in Masami
00:30:02Because I started
00:30:03Wrestling
00:30:04Since 16
00:30:05Years old
00:30:07I used to
00:30:08Use my
00:30:10Ring name
00:30:10Iyoshirai
00:30:13Oh my
00:30:14What?
00:30:18But now
00:30:19My name is
00:30:22Iyoshirai
00:30:24Iwati
00:30:35I
00:30:35I
00:30:35I
00:30:35I
00:30:36I
00:30:36I
00:30:36I
00:30:36I
00:30:37I
00:30:38I
00:30:41I
00:30:41I
00:30:42the moonsault to you.
00:30:43Genius in the sky, moonsault, cover!
00:30:49In our sky!
00:30:51World Games is my favorite.
00:30:53I did climb up the cage and then I put on the trash can,
00:31:01put on my head.
00:31:04She's the genius in the sky, but this is ridiculous!
00:31:09I'm kind of stupid.
00:31:10I didn't realize since I put on the trash can.
00:31:13I couldn't see anything and so dark here.
00:31:21私はなんてバカなんだって思いましたその時。
00:31:30すごく怖くなったんですけどああもうこれ以上怖いって思う前に飛ぶしかないって言ってもう飛び降りました。
00:31:33Oh my god!
00:31:37EO Sky from the top of the cage!
00:31:40With the trash can on her head!
00:31:42Wipe it out everybody!
00:31:43You want it!
00:31:47So, that's crazy, I know.
00:31:53I'm so short.
00:31:54My height is 5.2, 158cm.
00:32:00So, walking outside like I walk on the street so nobody think about I am a wrestler.
00:32:07EO from day one to me just had this innate charisma.
00:32:12EO Sky!
00:32:15When she walks out, there's just little things she does.
00:32:19If I said to somebody five years ago, hey we're gonna have a female, then that is going to be
00:32:25like this huge thing, right?
00:32:26Like you'd be like, get out of here.
00:32:27EO Sky!
00:32:29When she does it, it's money, it's spectacular.
00:32:31If I was to get decimated on a roster of people and say, we gotta start over, I would look
00:32:38at it and say, if you leave me EO, I'm good.
00:32:45The impetus for the Evolution POE kind of dates back about a decade to around 2015.
00:32:51Our audience kind of took to social media, they wanted our female superstars to have as much airtime and investment
00:33:00in their stories as the male superstars do.
00:33:03So that's where the concept of Evolution came about and it carried on to then this past year where we
00:33:10did our second Evolution POE.
00:33:12The main event with Rhea Ripley versus EO Sky was a perfect main event for that show because, one, Rhea
00:33:19and EO have amazing chemistry.
00:33:22But also because Rhea Ripley, who some may argue our biggest superstar in general, has never beaten EO Sky.
00:33:30And so it was kind of that quest to kind of, you know, win back the title that Rhea has
00:33:34lost.
00:33:45And so that quest to kind of see Rhea finally conquer what she has not yet been able to conquer
00:33:51was just kind of a natural kind of big fight feel storyline for that show.
00:33:55At Evolution, I can choose who to defend the Women's World Championship.
00:34:03And that means we are Ripper.
00:34:18B винTSELMANIAでチャンピオンシップをやったことよりも、エボリューションでメインイベント、なぜかっていうと、エボリューションはこう、女子だけの、Women's Divisionだけのショーなので、っていうことを、私とRheaが表現しなきゃいけないと思ってたので、
00:34:27You're on.
00:35:00Whoever has the money in the bank briefcase,
00:35:02you have to keep it with you and take it everywhere you go.
00:35:07But I also clean it out when I'm traveling,
00:35:11so I don't get in trouble.
00:35:12Because I be having all kind of stuff in there.
00:35:15I'm just packing my briefcase.
00:35:18New caution belt.
00:35:19Choke somebody.
00:35:20What's your coat is?
00:35:22A thong harness.
00:35:24I was like.
00:35:26Hmm.
00:35:27Ah.
00:35:29Okay.
00:35:29I like it.
00:35:30Yeah.
00:35:30Go ahead.
00:35:31Caution fan.
00:35:33Got all faithful.
00:35:38Fully charged.
00:35:39This is just in case you're trying to shock a bitch.
00:35:41Some pepper gel.
00:35:43Hey, hold on.
00:35:43Pepper gel.
00:35:44Hold on.
00:35:45What is it?
00:35:45The lock is on.
00:35:46It's on security.
00:35:47You don't even know how to use it.
00:35:49It's okay.
00:35:50I'll figure it out on the day of.
00:35:52Gear.
00:35:53Fresh pack of blades.
00:35:55A little something to take the edge off.
00:35:57Always got to have a fresh wig on deck.
00:36:00Never know when this one will get snatched.
00:36:02Wrap pellets to poison jade ass.
00:36:04And my contract.
00:36:08Hold on, hold on.
00:36:09I got one more thing left.
00:36:10Hold on.
00:36:10Hold on, girl.
00:36:11Before you close that, go on.
00:36:12Go on and put this.
00:36:14Go on and put this right up in there.
00:36:15Hold on.
00:36:16You want to do some crazy thing about your boy?
00:36:18Aw, foofy.
00:36:21All right.
00:36:22I can't do nothing without my foofy foofy.
00:36:25You know that makes you an accomplice now.
00:36:28Love you.
00:36:28You're doing good, though.
00:36:30Love you.
00:36:31Love you so much.
00:36:41Naomi, did you get all your junk out of there before they take it away from you?
00:36:44When the time is right, I'll pull her out.
00:36:46Is that your regular legitimate suitcase?
00:36:49What the fuck is going on in there?
00:36:51Shot glass?
00:36:55Rhea Ripley is special.
00:36:57So that's why I want to make special match with her.
00:37:02Which means your sky is special.
00:37:04We are going to be main event.
00:37:08That's like a dream coming true.
00:37:12I was telling Io to possibly make a moment out of this.
00:37:15Like, climb up here.
00:37:17Act like she's going to dive.
00:37:19Then look up.
00:37:21Go up further.
00:37:22Do you think that's warranted?
00:37:25Edge will be right by here.
00:37:27So you're going to be right there.
00:37:29That's the edge.
00:37:30Right there.
00:37:31Yeah.
00:37:32Okay?
00:37:33Yeah.
00:37:34You want somebody to bring you a trash can?
00:37:38This is an area that we are prepping for.
00:37:41One of Io Sky's high falls, you know, which she loves height.
00:37:51What's your, what is your concern?
00:37:55The bump that Rhea's got to take.
00:37:56Yeah, it's a hell of a bump.
00:37:57Are you padding this?
00:37:58Yes.
00:37:59I just want you to hit your head on the floor.
00:38:01Yeah.
00:38:02It's always a challenge to creatively make it look like it's part of our backstage gear,
00:38:09but to also give her a safe platform.
00:38:12Could you lay down?
00:38:14Yeah.
00:38:15Of course.
00:38:18All right.
00:38:21I have no words how I'm feeling, so I'm just nervous and excited.
00:38:28Show must go on.
00:38:30Come back to the two of you in the ring, like both sitting in the corner, fucking selling,
00:38:34looking at each other like, what the fuck, right?
00:38:37Yeah.
00:38:39You can actually even say that, like, what the fuck?
00:38:41Yeah.
00:38:41You know what I mean?
00:38:42What the fuck?
00:38:43Yeah.
00:38:43See?
00:38:44See?
00:38:45It still sounds cute.
00:38:46Phenomenal when you say it, yeah.
00:38:47It does.
00:38:48What the, you know, anybody else, you go their cuss, say, ah, it's Io.
00:38:52Too cute.
00:38:54Japanese accent.
00:38:55Yeah.
00:38:57That weekend of Evolution in Georgia ended up having a triple threat match.
00:39:02I'd had matches with Bayley, I'd had matches with Becky, but this time I had the two of them.
00:39:07I had been in a tag team with Bayley coming up to Mania.
00:39:11Bayley and Valkyria are heading to WrestleMania to take on the tag champs.
00:39:17And then we found out that Becky was returning and she was essentially going to take Bayley's spot as my
00:39:25tag team partner for the biggest show of the year.
00:39:28Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what happened?
00:39:29What happened?
00:39:30Are you good?
00:39:30No, no, no, you're not good.
00:39:31What happened?
00:39:31It was, like, bittersweet in a way when I was told that this was going to happen because, you know,
00:39:38I was excited to have Becky back.
00:39:39But, like, it started really singing, like, how much it sucks.
00:39:42Like, as professional as I can be, man, I worked for that, you know, I worked for that.
00:39:48Bayley deserved to have a WrestleMania match.
00:39:51And I was taking her out.
00:39:54And really, right up until the last moment, I was like, ah, should we maybe do this differently?
00:39:59I'm not even on social media, so I don't know.
00:40:01But I believe the vibe is, like, they're like, oh, it's gonna be Becky, ah, that's gonna, ah, when you
00:40:06feel bad for Bayley.
00:40:08So, in a last minute picture, you can tell me to go fuck off.
00:40:11WrestleMania is like Christmas.
00:40:13You're being good all year long so that you get the most amount of toys on Christmas Day.
00:40:18Like, that's how it works.
00:40:20It felt like I was the Grinch.
00:40:23Like, I'm taking all your toys.
00:40:24I know, you don't want to take it away from her.
00:40:26I don't want to take it away from her.
00:40:27I hear you.
00:40:28You know?
00:40:28I hear you.
00:40:30Let me think.
00:40:31Let me think about it.
00:40:32Is there anybody else?
00:40:33I got kind of pissed at Becky.
00:40:35Fuck him.
00:40:36But, like, I don't want to be put in the match because we begged for it.
00:40:41I had already accepted it at that point.
00:40:43So happy and excited.
00:40:45I'm so happy for you.
00:40:47So we took this thing that happened that we had no control over that was very real and used it
00:40:54on screen.
00:40:54I keep hoping things would go back to the way they were with us before WrestleMania, but you just won't
00:40:58let that happen.
00:40:59We went on from that moment and told the story with the three of us.
00:41:04Evolution, the women's show.
00:41:06It was so important that we had a banger.
00:41:11Welcome to Atlanta.
00:41:13Tonight, we get ready for an historic event.
00:41:17WWE Evolution.
00:41:18Here we go.
00:41:20Fuck yeah, Bayley.
00:41:24For Becky Lynch, it's about defending the title tonight.
00:41:27The Intercontinental Championship defended a triple threat match for the first time ever.
00:41:38The crowd sounds different, right?
00:41:40I think there's a lot more girls.
00:41:42I love it.
00:41:43Here we go.
00:41:44Here we go.
00:41:51They're on their feet in Atlanta.
00:41:54Damn, man.
00:41:55I'm crazy already.
00:41:57First woman to gain pinfall or submission becomes the Intercontinental Champion.
00:42:08Dog eat dog world at the very top.
00:42:12There should be all no friendship.
00:42:14Ignorance says you're no best friend.
00:42:17Ignorance says you're no best friend.
00:42:19This is the best thing that could have happened.
00:42:22Any longer and I would have made it.
00:42:25It's not a war.
00:42:26No, it's not a rapture.
00:42:28I'm just a person.
00:42:29But you can't take it.
00:42:31The same tricks that they've told me.
00:42:33They won't get you anywhere.
00:42:35They won't get you anywhere.
00:42:36I'm not the same kid from your memory.
00:42:39Well now I can fend for you.
00:42:42So when I hear your sad song, I don't want to bring your pain.
00:42:47I'm not the same.
00:42:54This crowd is red hot tonight.
00:42:57Well, they are getting a show from these three women.
00:43:00Three of the absolute best.
00:43:02They're doing fucking awesome.
00:43:12Baylor's hair is magnificent.
00:43:14Looks like Michael Hayes in this morning.
00:43:17She looks insane.
00:43:19Like if it was blue, she'd look like fucking Marge Simpson, right?
00:43:27Might be trying to roll from him.
00:43:29Oh my God!
00:43:38Barely saves the match up.
00:43:40Perfect time.
00:43:41We're heading home right here.
00:43:43Here comes our finish, guys.
00:43:49Rose plant finally.
00:43:52Bailey stacks up lava.
00:43:54Becky from behind.
00:43:56Wow!
00:43:56Nice!
00:43:59Becky retains!
00:44:00Oh!
00:44:03Here is your winner, the man, Becky Lynch!
00:44:13That was great.
00:44:15I'll tell you right now, this is the coolest pit I have ever seen in my entire time watching wrestling.
00:44:21One, two, three!
00:44:27One, two, three!
00:44:31All three women brought that absolute A game tonight.
00:44:35Becky Lynch successfully retains the Women's Intercontinental Championship in a classic.
00:44:44Is that alright?
00:44:45Yeah.
00:44:45No, more than alright.
00:44:46Hell yeah!
00:44:47Thank you!
00:44:48You okay?
00:44:54I was just zapped back to 2018 to show myself one match.
00:44:59Just, just even the flash of the match graphic of me, Becky and Bailey.
00:45:04I genuinely wouldn't believe it.
00:45:05That finish was awesome.
00:45:07Yeah.
00:45:07It looked great.
00:45:09I'm a fucking athlete.
00:45:12You're not the only athlete in Ireland now, huh?
00:45:16No, honestly, I'm not, I'm not that great of an athlete.
00:45:18So, so like, that was the most athletic I've ever felt in my entire life.
00:45:23I'm in there with two of the best.
00:45:25And it's an honour to be right there side by side.
00:45:28Oh my God, that crowd was wild.
00:45:29What a crowd.
00:45:30Oh my God, that before the bell rang coming up.
00:45:31Oh yeah.
00:45:32Yeah.
00:45:33My favourite thing about what we do has always been the magic you feel when everyone in the room is
00:45:38on a set.
00:45:38The same journey watching a wrestling match, like there's nothing better.
00:45:42And to have had that evolution, like to wrestle two women that really made me want to do this on
00:45:46this specific card.
00:45:47You just can't summarise how special this is to me and how much it means to every woman in this
00:45:51locker room today.
00:45:53Breathe.
00:45:56The following is a no-holds-board match!
00:46:05In this match, there are no count-outs, no disqualifications, no holds-board!
00:46:14Time to make order.
00:46:17Here to get the girlies in check.
00:46:19Tonight, this is done.
00:46:20Please welcome special guest referee, Bianca Belair!
00:46:32You know, Wade, we were talking earlier today about whether Bianca Belair can call this one down the middle.
00:46:36Yeah, where do Belair's loyalties really lie?
00:46:39Hasn't spoken to either Naomi or Jade really since Elimination Chamber.
00:46:45We knew where we wanted to end.
00:46:47We knew that we had Naomi that was going to cash in.
00:46:51We knew we were going there.
00:46:53But first, the culmination of the Naomi-Jade rivalry.
00:46:58This is the fourth women's no-holds-board match in WWE history.
00:47:05Naomi not thinking about the contract tonight.
00:47:07She's thinking about surviving Jade Cargill.
00:47:11Here she comes.
00:47:12Spear by Cargill!
00:47:15And now a steel chain.
00:47:17Cleaning the clock from Naomi!
00:47:20Jade Cargill just grabbed the camera from the cameraman and now...
00:47:25Gonna be up close and personal!
00:47:29And Jade now, misery Naomi!
00:47:31Oh, a big kick!
00:47:33Weapons match.
00:47:35Jade beat the hell out of Naomi.
00:47:37Nice tear shot.
00:47:39We're working to the Jade.
00:47:41Please hit this, girls.
00:47:42From up there, she'll break her in half!
00:47:46Jade-ed!
00:47:47Good shift.
00:47:50One, two, three!
00:47:51And Cargill with the win!
00:47:54Have them tell Naomi to sell big.
00:47:59B, tell Naomi to sell big.
00:48:01Naomi has to sell big no matter what.
00:48:04Tell Naomi don't move, just stay down.
00:48:07I thought it was pulled off to perfection.
00:48:13When Naomi was in the ring, you think, I have seen the last of Naomi.
00:48:17You don't even think about the Money in the Bank briefcase.
00:48:22Do you have something to do now, or do you want to go...
00:48:25I have to do this kind of running.
00:48:27Okay.
00:48:31Let me see if they want to glue it first.
00:48:34Yeah.
00:48:34Are you doing it during this match?
00:48:35Next time.
00:48:36Okay.
00:48:36Not like 30 minutes.
00:48:37Okay.
00:48:40I would just let the blood drip and dry.
00:48:43Okay.
00:48:45All right, Brewer, we're every bit of 25, 30 minutes.
00:48:48Can you go 20?
00:48:49Fuck no.
00:48:50Okay.
00:48:51You make the others do their fucking times.
00:48:53I'm the fucking main event.
00:48:55I'm gonna do what the fuck I want to.
00:48:59The following contest scheduled for one fall is for...
00:49:04The Women's World Championship!
00:49:12Audience doesn't want good, clean, squeaky girls.
00:49:15They want badass bitches.
00:49:17That's why they love her.
00:49:18Exactly.
00:49:23Rhea looking to win her fourth world championship.
00:49:26She's won tag titles and NXT titles in the Royal Rumble.
00:49:31But tonight would feel oh so good for the Eradicator.
00:49:34From Tokyo, Japan.
00:49:38EO SKY!
00:49:43Remember what happened back in March when EO SKY shocked everyone taking the championship from Rhea Ripley.
00:49:54The two best female wrestlers of planet Earth in 2025.
00:49:59The question remains though, who is one and who is two?
00:50:23Reels and out, interception.
00:50:25Oh my God!
00:50:27Oh my God!
00:50:27Stuck to the midsection.
00:50:29And Rhea Ripley is really rough here now.
00:50:36Oh
00:50:36Rage revenge on the second
00:50:45So many counters
00:50:54Okay, I can just feel the adrenaline in this arena. They're witnessing something very special
00:51:02After no referee is going to go fucking apeshit
00:51:05Heel topper
00:51:09Rhea ducked out of harm's way
00:51:14Rhea Ripley now
00:51:25The referee was taken out of this match
00:51:31But there's no official to count
00:51:34This must feel like a curse to Rhea Ripley nice Rhea good shit
00:51:45How does her little body take all that
00:51:53This is spelling out all over the place
00:51:57Ripley and sky fighting into the WWE universe
00:52:01Rhea Ripley understandably has now completely lost it
00:52:05I am not quite sure what Rhea Ripley is capable of
00:52:08In the state of mind that she is in right now
00:52:12Try not to see the floor at their feet if you can until we get over there
00:52:16And now on the equipment cases over there in the in the corner of this arena
00:52:20Once Io counters this she's going to go to that first level
00:52:23Well, it's going to be nasty as hell
00:52:25Then pause, look up, and go one step higher
00:52:32Oh no
00:52:35Don't do it Io
00:52:36Io
00:52:38Climbing up high
00:52:40Right now, right now, right now, right now
00:52:42Don't get too close to it
00:52:43I want to see crowd behind it
00:52:44I want to see how high she is
00:52:46The genius in the sky with Ripley in trouble
00:52:49Right now, right now, right now, right now
00:52:50The highest risk super stole the ball
00:52:52Oh, Io across body and Io and Rhea are down
00:52:56Nice
00:52:58Io to be 20 feet down
00:53:02They're both women are down
00:53:07Everybody okay
00:53:10Two women knocking the hell out of each other
00:53:14In pursuit of excellence
00:53:16In pursuit of greatness
00:53:17In pursuit of history
00:53:20The ref coming
00:53:22Let me see who's coming in
00:53:23The official's coming too
00:53:27Io Sky hits it
00:53:29The over the moon saw that Rhea kicked it now
00:53:32Rhea kicked it now
00:53:34Now it's Io Sky's turn
00:53:36To say what the hell do I do now
00:53:41Holy hell
00:53:43Nice
00:53:43I don't want to cover that shit, Pete
00:53:46That's storytelling
00:53:48Rhea Ripley tapping into something different tonight
00:53:52And it needs it against this version of Io Sky
00:53:55Rhea Ripley
00:53:56Oh my goodness
00:53:57Manish fly
00:53:59Both women are down
00:54:01Io's out
00:54:02Rhea's out
00:54:03World title's on the line
00:54:07I'm ready
00:54:08I'm ready
00:54:08You ready, Hunter?
00:54:09Yeah, okay
00:54:10Here we go
00:54:20Oh
00:54:20Oh my god
00:54:24Naomi
00:54:24Naomi
00:54:26Naomi
00:54:26Missed Money in the Bank
00:54:28With a referee in tow
00:54:30Okay, once they announce it as a triple threat
00:54:33Briefcase shot to Io
00:54:35You can hear this
00:54:39Ladies and gentlemen
00:54:41Naomi is cashing in
00:54:43We're putting in the bank contract
00:54:45This is now a triple threat match
00:54:48It's a triple threat match
00:54:49Anything goes
00:54:51There are no disfall locations under triple threat rules
00:54:54Officially cashed in
00:54:55Against two completely decimated women
00:55:01And it's a triple threat match
00:55:02Complete leg and moonsault
00:55:03Cover by Naomi
00:55:07Naomi is the world champion
00:55:09Holy cow
00:55:12Here is your winner
00:55:16And new women
00:55:20Whoa
00:55:21Fucking awesome
00:55:22That fucking one motherfucker of the show
00:55:25Naomi
00:55:43It was a holy shit moment.
00:55:47She's the new champion, and she is on top of the world.
00:55:52Me returning, I wanted to be better, do better, become better.
00:55:56This solidifies that. It improves that.
00:56:00It's very emotional. I'm trying to keep it together.
00:56:03First time ever being the women's world champion.
00:56:07Who knows what's ahead of me now?
00:56:09That was just badass. Thank you, thank you.
00:56:11That was badass. How'd that feel? Amazing.
00:56:14It just shows that as women in wrestling, we're still progressing, we're still getting better.
00:56:20For those who have been watching me since 2009, if I could just sum it all up of my journey,
00:56:27it's just to keep going.
00:56:29Evolution is such a massive deal for us women here in the WWE, and just women in general.
00:56:33There's a lot of male-dominated things. Sports, businesses, etc.
00:56:38So to have something that's like all women is such a massive, massive deal to us.
00:56:44Give me a rock star.
00:56:45I'm so glad.
00:56:47I'm so glad. Thank you so much. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.
00:56:51Oh, it's so great.
00:56:52You were great.
00:56:53You always believe in me. Thank you so much.
00:56:55I always will. You're looking great.
00:56:58A lot of times backstage, I could just call her rock star, because I don't know how to put a
00:57:04label on her for anything else.
00:57:07She's just the nicest human being of all time.
00:57:10We'll do whatever you want, and we'll come back, and she's just hoping that you tell her it was good.
00:57:15And when you tell her it was good, it's like the world lit up for her.
00:57:18You know, most people, when they're up high, they just dive.
00:57:21Yep.
00:57:22Right? No jump. You jump up.
00:57:24Oh, yeah. I did. I did.
00:57:25Very good.
00:57:26Oh, thank you.
00:57:27I enjoyed it. I feel like it was made.
00:57:30Oh, thank you.
00:57:31There you go.
00:57:33Lucky.
00:57:34Does that scare you?
00:57:35No, no. I want to be special.
00:57:39I will take any risk to become I am superstar.
00:57:47This is what we work so hard for, and it's all accumulated to this moment right here,
00:57:52because this is what the future of the women here in WWE are going to show.
00:57:59And we're going to take our opportunities.
00:58:00We're not going to wait for them anymore, and this is exactly where we start.
00:58:03So it was a really cool experience.
00:58:10Let's talk about evolution.
00:58:12Just what a night.
00:58:15The bar for what women do in this industry, all of it has been raised so high.
00:58:20Man, they showed tonight what a change that business has been for them.
00:58:25Incredibly proud of them.
00:58:27I'm sure somebody here will ask about Seth.
00:58:30He came here tonight.
00:58:31He was not going to miss his wife's performance tonight.
00:58:34He will be in Birmingham tomorrow with Dr. Dugas.
00:58:37I'll just say right now, a little bit inconclusive.
00:58:40Doesn't look good, but we'll get MRI and hope for the best.
00:58:47So keeping a secret, not letting people know that Seth Rollins doesn't need crutches,
00:58:56that's part of the thrill.
00:58:58Is it secrecy?
00:59:01Is it a work?
00:59:02Or is it simply the planning of performance art?
00:59:12On me.
00:59:14Now.
00:59:16Burn it down!
00:59:19Burn it down!
00:59:19Burn it down!
00:59:23Burn it down!
00:59:28Burn it down!
00:59:29Burn it down!
00:59:31Burn it down!
00:59:32Burn it down!
