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.
00:03:50You gotta shoot him.
00:03:50Get the camera all the way out of here.
00:03:51For five weeks, he never left his house.
00:03:57He didn't take his kids to school.
00:03:59He didn'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 so that you were more emotionally involved
00:04:52in the moment when he revealed that he wasn't blind?
00:04:58That's how we earn our living.
00:05:11For 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.
00:06:17I 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, so when I started doing music and people started noticing me,
00:06:36it 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.
00:06:48A 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, and Randy Orton's there, and 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 CMA 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.
00:07:26SummerSlam 2024, when I'm getting up from doing the five knuckle shuffle.
00:07:30I'm hanging on to a rope and R-True's got one arm 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.
00:07:46And 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?
00:08:04You know what I mean?
00:08:04Like, I'm dead serious about this.
00:08:07Training for SummerSlam.
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 it.
00:08:16I'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 under 300 pounds for the first time since I was probably
00:08:2814 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.
00:08:46Jelly Roll approached us.
00:08:49He fought to be a part of SummerSlam.
00:08:53Then Jelly Roll moved, got a house, got two houses actually, in Orlando.
00:08:58One 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.
00:09:09Walking 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've got a lot to learn.
00:09:22You've got a lot to learn.
00:09:22You've got a lot to learn.
00:09:22I've never done a flip, ever.
00:09:25You've got a lot to learn.
00:09:28You've got a lot to learn.
00:09:28Hey, my side, getting up in here is a bit short.
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, was I physically going to be
00:09:44able 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.
00:09:54But that same dog that came out of me that was determined to make it as a songwriter, started coming
00:10:00out of me in there.
00:10:01You've got a lot to learn.
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.
00:10:11Let 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?
00:10:41The joint 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.
00:10:49I can feel it.
00:10:50Right?
00:10:50My ass crack went down a little bit.
00:10:53Oh my gosh.
00:10:54I'm proud of you, man.
00:10:55Fuck.
00:10:56It's fucking inspiring.
00:10:58Makes me want to go to the gym right fucking down here.
00:11:00Come on.
00:11:02I'll tell you what.
00:11:03Did you watch any of the video?
00:11:04I did.
00:11:05He's a better...
00:11:06He's a good dude.
00:11:07He ain't fucking bad.
00:11:08He ain't bad.
00:11:09Yeah.
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 the 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
00:11:36around, bounce around shit and I thought, god damn, there could be something there.
00:11:42And 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.
00:12:13Are you ready for the time?
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 hill, I'm still sore.
00:12:19Cold, I'm a weekend.
00:12:20I'm sore now.
00:12:20Shoulder hurts, neck hurts, everything.
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, you block it, lay his ass
00:12:35out.
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?
00:12:43Yes, 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
00:13:01end.
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
00:13:15small.
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 LA night.
00:13:37Okay.
00:13:38Paul, we're going to do this now because they've got to steal LA.
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, and now I got out.
00:13:51The only people that really know me, Bruce, Ed, Bobby Roode, Seth, LA.
00:13:57Heyman 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 it'll do something towards the end
00:14:04of the match where he blows his knee out, and LA sets up for the next thing, but Seth
00:14:08ain'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 legit.
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 LA 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.
00:14:41You're a lawyer and your doctor.
00:14:43We'll take a BFT from LA night and get beat.
00:14:46LA 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 LA night.
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.
00:15:09We'll figure that out.
00:15:11But Seth came to me and he said, why does LA 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-la.
00:16:29Ba-la-la-la-la-la.
00:16:30Ba-la-la-la-la-la.
00:16:31Ba-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.
00:17:08Great straight rock and roll.
00:17:12Let's do this, baby.
00:17:14I live on TV.
00:17:16Making his winner race.
00:17:17Being accompanied by a four-time Grammy-nominated country artist, Jelly Roll from St. Louis, Missouri,
00:17:26the Viper, Randy Ortex.
00:17:36Tremendous history between these two.
00:17:38They know each other extremely well.
00:17:40Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:17:45McIntyre's dominating early.
00:17:46Logan Paul enjoying what he's seen.
00:17:49Jelly Roll, less so.
00:17:51Logan and Jelly now.
00:17:52Here it is.
00:17:54Come on, you're in the wrong arena, buddy.
00:17:57I told you that yesterday and then I'll tell you again.
00:18:01You're in the wrong arena.
00:18:02We broke it off a lot.
00:18:04Man, we don't know what, brother.
00:18:06I'm pushing you, man.
00:18:07Logan Paul is locked by Jelly Roll.
00:18:11And Randy Orton hit RKO out of nowhere.
00:18:14Buddy Orton, here's the cover.
00:18:18Order in the ring.
00:18:19Let's see Jelly fire up.
00:18:21Nice.
00:18:23And now, Logan Paul, the lucky punch to the jaw of Randy Orton.
00:18:30And now, Logan Paul unloading on Orton.
00:18:33Jelly Roll has seen it off.
00:18:35Jelly Roll is not a fighter.
00:18:39Paul posts the ring.
00:18:46It's Jelly Roll with a right hand!
00:18:48Jelly with a right hand!
00:18:59No! A Claymore by McIntyre!
00:19:05Jelly Roll is a musician.
00:19:08Stay out of the ring!
00:19:13If I were to describe Jelly Roll, he's a natural performer.
00:19:18He's someone who's performed all over the world.
00:19:21He does shows where people come just to see him.
00:19:26You could just tell that he's a lifelong fan.
00:19:29He loves this business.
00:19:31And he's been watching because he knows what it takes to perform in that ring.
00:19:35And he just did it so well.
00:19:38Hey, Randy!
00:19:39Me?
00:19:39Ha-ha!
00:19:40Fucking Jelly.
00:19:41How'd I do, baby?
00:19:43How'd I do?
00:19:43It was awesome.
00:19:44It was fucking awesome, man.
00:19:46I was so impressed.
00:19:48He blew anyone else out of the water that's ever tried to step out of their world and step into
00:19:53ours.
00:19:55Congrats, man.
00:19:56How'd I do?
00:19:57Fucking badass.
00:19:58Am I getting over it?
00:19:58Fucking badass.
00:19:59You heard him chanting Jelly?
00:20:01Listen, I'm gonna go home and watch this like I did last night.
00:20:04Make notes and get better.
00:20:05Dude, you heard him chanting your name?
00:20:07Yeah.
00:20:07Fucking great.
00:20:08When I heard the Jelly Roll chant, it was like, Jelly, Jelly Roll.
00:20:12That's why I love wrestling.
00:20:14Unique to the WWE universe.
00:20:16I'll never hear that again in a Jelly Roll show in my life unless God and the WWE blessed me
00:20:22to come back there.
00:20:23Well, what a, what a, for a megastar, what a down-to-earth dude.
00:20:29What's up, my brother?
00:20:29I love you so much.
00:20:31Do you see me?
00:20:32Yes.
00:20:32Are you being serious?
00:20:33It was awesome.
00:20:34We didn't even know you were here.
00:20:36We just came to see him.
00:20:36Hey, that's good shit.
00:20:38Yeah, yeah.
00:20:39He's gonna be good, man.
00:20:40Oh, yeah.
00:20:41Yeah.
00:20:42I wasn't really sure when Bruce first sat me down.
00:20:44What was that?
00:20:45I wasn't really sure when Bruce first sat me down.
00:20:47Yeah.
00:20:49Put it this way, having, having seen that motherfucker train, because at first I was like, ah, I'll
00:20:54put him in a little something, it'll be a fucking big deal.
00:20:57I watched him go in and train twice, they sent me the video, so I was like, okay, now I'm
00:21:01thinking bigger, and I was like, he's all in, dude.
00:21:04I'm, I'm very thankful for this part.
00:21:06Yeah.
00:21:07Let's not.
00:21:08Yeah.
00:21:08Sign of the fact.
00:21:14A lot of the creative ideas that I've had in my career have been mine.
00:21:20This one I can't take full credit for.
00:21:22What I saw when this idea was presented to me was an end game that created a moment that
00:21:30was special and memorable.
00:21:35That's really what our industry is, is a series of moments.
00:21:39Storytelling that builds to special moments that affect our audience on a deep level.
00:21:48If this was a real situation, how would we all react?
00:21:52I didn't want to overreact.
00:21:53I think Triple H as well, and Bruce and Guerrilla acted as if it was real.
00:21:58There was only four people, five people, six maybe at the most that actually knew what
00:22:02the situation actually was.
00:22:05Two-time United States champion LA Knight battling the five-time world champion Seth Rollins.
00:22:11Oh.
00:22:12Seth Rollins, and Rollins now launched outside the ring to the pool.
00:22:15Time to keep going.
00:22:17Oh!
00:22:19We did have to make sure that we didn't get the bell rung.
00:22:21You know, in situations like that when someone is actually hurt, typically we'll ring the
00:22:25bell right away.
00:22:26We had to be very, very careful that we didn't do that.
00:22:30Brian, K-Fig, just me and you, a little bit of fucking fuckery here.
00:22:36K-Fig fuckery on the end of this thing.
00:22:39Do not let the fucking ring bell ring until the 1-2-3 happens.
00:22:45And I will tell you when.
00:22:48As I wrapped my head around it, I realized it was a brilliant piece of storytelling.
00:22:53But you want to protect everybody involved.
00:22:56You want to protect the company.
00:22:58You want to protect your babyfaces.
00:23:01In this case, LA Knight.
00:23:03Oh!
00:23:04Oh, and a knee rate to the midsection.
00:23:06Frog splash coming.
00:23:07The visionary now, heading up to the top rope, looking to put LA Knight away.
00:23:11Frog splash to the injured midsection and rims.
00:23:14Rollins for the win.
00:23:15Hook to the leg and a kick out.
00:23:19That's the fun part of what we do as performers.
00:23:21You never know.
00:23:22You never know when it's a work and when it's a shoot.
00:23:26LA Knight on the towards line.
00:23:28And now Knight looking to rally.
00:23:33And that gray area is what makes us special as performers.
00:23:37If you can see through every single thing that we do, it becomes boring.
00:23:45L-A-L-E-R!
00:23:48Elbow delivered!
00:23:50Knight, cover!
00:23:51One, two, three, four!
00:23:53And Rollins kicks it, too!
00:23:54When you get into the excitement of telling a story, you look to exhaust whatever resources
00:24:03you have to tell that story in the best possible way.
00:24:08And Rollins with a buckle bomb!
00:24:10I don't think there's any line that can't be crossed.
00:24:14It's just you gotta figure out what's worth crossing.
00:24:18And now Rollins!
00:24:19Oh!
00:24:20There's that flying senton!
00:24:21Springboard senton by Rollins!
00:24:23And now a moonsault lands on his feet!
00:24:25They have tweaked his knee!
00:24:27You alright?
00:24:28You alright?
00:24:29And now LA Knight with an opportunity!
00:24:31Is that okay?
00:24:32Rollins into the corner, the official area to check on Rollins!
00:24:35Oh, no!
00:24:38Back off LA!
00:24:39Back off LA!
00:24:40Back off LA!
00:24:40Back off LA!
00:24:40Tell him to give him a minute!
00:24:42Rollins tweaking his knee!
00:24:43Heyman over to check on his man!
00:24:45Let's get...
00:24:46Do we 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!
00:24:54We're doing it!
00:24:54Damn it, man!
00:24:56The ringside doctor now is over, consulting with the official on the situation with Rollins.
00:25:03What's he saying, Jess?
00:25:04Is he alright?
00:25:07You hear that?
00:25:09You good with that?
00:25:10What was that?
00:25:11He said...
00:25:12Seth is fucked.
00:25:13He said LA hit his finish.
00:25:15Okay.
00:25:15You gotta do it.
00:25:16Tell LA...
00:25:17Tell LA...
00:25:18Tell LA...
00:25:18Whatever Seth told him.
00:25:20Rollins up.
00:25:21Hobbling back up into the corner.
00:25:23LA Knight!
00:25:23BF!
00:25:24BFP!
00:25:25By LA Knight!
00:25:26This is the finish.
00:25:27Finish, finish.
00:25:28Hover down!
00:25:28Hook of the leg at Knight with the rim!
00:25:33Go, Larry.
00:25:34Use your winner!
00:25:36Get Doc in there.
00:25:37Get Doc in there.
00:25:38Get Doc in there.
00:25:38And that is a bleak sight seeing 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 Rollins tweaking the knee.
00:26:01It appears to be much more serious than we first thought.
00:26:08When the time comes, everything changes.
00:26:12And I think that suddenness is what alerts people to believing that it's real.
00:26:20And that's the art of it.
00:26:22Anybody that doesn't need a beer, get everybody out of here so he can get through.
00:26:26What matters this much, this much doubt, that's all we need.
00:26:35This much doubt.
00:26:37If you have that, that's where the magic happens in our business.
00:26:41That's what makes it special.
00:26:43Just that little bit of I don't know.
00:26:46Did it come off okay?
00:26:47Unbelievable.
00:26:48Just out of nowhere.
00:26:49Out of nowhere.
00:26:50Yep.
00:26:51The way they shot it, Jess is...
00:26:53Everything.
00:26:54Everything was really good.
00:26:55How did it feel out there?
00:26:57Did it feel legit?
00:26:58Awkward.
00:26:58Awkward, yeah.
00:27:00It's supposed to feel awkward.
00:27:01It was awkward backstage too.
00:27:02It was great.
00:27:08It was awkward as hell, but that's kind of what sold it.
00:27:10So with it being that awkward, it just kind of, you know, it probably felt flat in the moment.
00:27:16But that also allowed people to be like, oh shit, okay.
00:27:20Yeah, dude's really hurt.
00:27:21Is he spot the cameras off for just two seconds, please?
00:27:24Yes.
00:27:25L.A. Knight played it perfectly.
00:27:27His facial expressions were on point of, oh shit.
00:27:31No.
00:27:32You could see his confusion and you could see his, ah shit.
00:27:37Okay.
00:27:39It helped fans to believe in the moment that, hmm, something real just happened.
00:27:49L.A. did great.
00:27:50Played it to a tee.
00:27:51We were able to get out of that situation, making it look like it was an actual real injury.
00:27:58You know, you got cameras and shit all over it all.
00:28:00Yeah.
00:28:02I'll be working until I get back to the bus because you might want to be kidding me.
00:28:07All right.
00:28:08From the second I got hurt, you had speculation all over the internet about what this was going to lead
00:28:17to, if it was real, if it was not real.
00:28:19Wow, Seth Rollins really might be answered.
00:28:21Yeah.
00:28:24There was every story under the sun.
00:28:26And so, when everything was flooded, you had no idea what the truth was.
00:28:47No one really knew what was going on.
00:29:11The most important thing about five minutes handstands, like, keep my mentality.
00:29:24Of course, it's so hard.
00:29:27Five minutes handstands.
00:29:28I really think about it.
00:29:30I want to fall.
00:29:36But I always think about it.
00:29:38I can do it.
00:29:39I have to do it because I am the champion.
00:29:43Four, three, two, one.
00:29:56My first name is Masami in real name.
00:29:59So Masami.
00:30:01But nobody called me Masami because I started wrestling since 16 years old.
00:30:32私のスタイルがこうとにかく高いところから飛ぶもちろんケージの上から飛び降りたり。
00:30:34I like high.
00:30:39And my finisher moveが over the moonsaultっていう.
00:30:44Genius of the sky!
00:30:45Moonsault!
00:30:46Cover!
00:30:49In our sky!
00:30:50World games is my favorite.
00:30:53I did climb up the cage.
00:30:57And then I put on the trash can.
00:31:01Put on my head.
00:31:04She's the genius of the sky!
00:31:07But this is ridiculous!
00:31:30私はなんてバカなんだって思いましたその時。すごく怖くなったんですけど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!
00:31:37EOSCAR 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.
00:31:49I know.
00:31:52I'm so short.
00:31:54My height is 5.2.
00:32:00158cm.
00:32:00So, walking outside like I walk on the street.
00:32:04So, nobody think about I am a wrestler.
00:32:07EO from day one to me just had this innate charisma.
00:32:12EO!
00:32:13Scott!
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!
00:32:28Scott!
00:32:29When she does it, it's money.
00:32:31It'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.
00:32:54They wanted our female superstars to have as much airtime and investment in their stories as the male superstars do.
00:33:03So, that's where the concept of Evolution came about.
00:33:05And it carried on to then, this past year, where we did 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.
00:33:36EO Sky conquers!
00:33:38Over the road zone connects!
00:33:39Sky!
00:33:40Cover!
00:33:41Push the leg!
00:33:42EO Sky is the world champion!
00:33:46And 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.
00:34:11Vestlemania.
00:34:12Vestlemania.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。なんでかっていうと、エボリューションは女子だけの、ウィメンズディビジョン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!
00:34:40感情がものすごく責任感と緊張感と重みがものすごくのしかかってます。
00:34:41わ!私が行しに行きました。めんあいけない頑運も、エボリューションを合わせると思うはずレッセン・ザフハンドル紙
00:35:11so I won'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.
00:35:19Mm-hmm. Choke somebody.
00:35:20What you call this?
00:35:22A thong harness.
00:35:24It goes like, ah.
00:35:29OK.
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.
00:35:39Is it just in case you're trying to shock a bitch?
00:35:41Some pepper gel.
00:35:43Hey, hold on.
00:35:44Pepper gel.
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 OK.
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.
00:36:02Rat pellets to poison jade ass.
00:36:04And my contract.
00:36:08Hold 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.
00:36:13Put this.
00:36:14Go on.
00:36:14Put 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, is that your regular legitimate suitcase?
00:36:49What the fuck is going on in there?
00:36:51Shot glass?
00:37:11I was telling Io to possibly make a moment out of this, like, climb up here, act like she's
00:37:18going to dive, then look up, go up further.
00:37:22Do you think that's warranted?
00:37:25The edge will be right 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 one of Io Sky's high falls, you know, which
00:37:44she loves height.
00:37:50What's your, what, 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?
00:38:21I 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
00:38:34selling, looking at each other like, what the fuck?
00:38:37Right?
00:38:37Yeah.
00:38:38Okay.
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.
00:38:47It does.
00:38:48What the fuck?
00:38:48You know, anybody else, you go their cuss and say, ah, I see you.
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
00:39:06them.
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
00:39:24spot as my tag team partner for the biggest show of the year.
00:39:28Bayley, Bayley, Bayley, what happened?
00:39:29What happened?
00:39:30Are you good?
00:39:30No, 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,
00:39:37you know, I 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.
00:39:45Man, I worked for that, you know?
00:39:47I 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 going to be Becky, ah, that's
00:40:05going to, ah, when you feel 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 away from her.
00:40:26We don't want to take away from her.
00:40:27I hear you.
00:40:28You know?
00:40:28I hear you.
00:40:30Let me think, let me think about it.
00:40:32Is there anybody else?
00:40:32I got kind of pissed at Becky.
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.
00:41:10Welcome 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.
00:41:51They're on their feet in Atlanta.
00:41:54Damn, they're going 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 certainly are no friendships.
00:42:14Ignorance says you're no best friend.
00:42:17Ignorance says you're no best friend.
00:42:19And this is the best thing that could have happened.
00:42:22Any longer 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.
00:42:31It's a trick set.
00:42:32Hell yeah Lyra.
00:42:33They won't get you anywhere.
00:42:36I'm not the same kid from your memory.
00:42:39Well now I can fend for.
00:42:42So when I hear your sad song.
00:42:44I want to bring your pain.
00:42:45When you tell us it's my fault.
00:42:47You know you're not the same.
00:42:48We're 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.
00:43:01They're doing fucking awesome.
00:43:12Bayley's hair is magnificent.
00:43:14Looks like Michael Hayes in the morning.
00:43:17She looks insane.
00:43:19Like if it was blue she would look like fucking Marge Simpson.
00:43:27Might be trying to roll for him.
00:43:29Oh my God!
00:43:38Bayley saves the match up.
00:43:40Perfect time.
00:43:41We're heading home right here.
00:43:43Here comes our finish guys.
