00:00:06The reality of how much I was going to have to lie to all the people that I care about
00:00:13hadn't really hit me. You know, I can lie to the fans. That's fine. That's part of the business.
00:00:21Lying to, like, my friends and family. And so when it happened, everybody's texting me.
00:00:30And now a moonsault lands on his feet.
00:00:32Oh, fuck. Get Doc in there. Get Doc in there.
00:00:36That is a bleak sight seeing Seth freaking Rollins down and out.
00:00:44And he's not responding to anybody because, you know, he's going through all of this.
00:00:52So everybody's like, how's he doing? His dad is texting me. And I'm like, do I have to like your
00:00:58dad?
00:00:59Like, who do I have to lie to? So I was like breaking out in hives.
00:01:06I think she didn't anticipate having to be an accomplice. I think that part didn't occur to her until the
00:01:13night of.
00:01:14And she's the one answering all the texts while I'm, you know, ignoring them all.
00:01:18I'm much better. I'm a much better liar than she is. She'll be honest with you on that.
00:01:23She's a terrible liar.
00:01:24My manager called me and he's like, how's he doing? Is he okay? What's going on?
00:01:30Is he going to be all right? And I'm like, um, uh, yeah, he'll be fine.
00:01:37He'll be fine, you know? He's going to be fine.
00:01:40You know, and that was like my way of like not, of towing the line, of like not lying, but
00:01:46lying, you know?
00:01:48Okay, next time, just fucking don't tell me.
00:01:51Hmm?
00:01:52Just don't fucking tell me.
00:01:53With what?
00:01:55What's up?
00:01:56I got a fucking, you know, I got a fucking lie to everybody.
00:01:58I got a fucking lie to everybody.
00:02:00I got a fucking lie.
00:02:04Did, did, uh, did you know about it beforehand or after?
00:02:08Yeah, yeah.
00:02:08Okay.
00:02:19Any time I would go into public where there was a possibility that a picture might get out, we were
00:02:25on the crutches with the brace.
00:02:27Crutches were the fucking worst.
00:02:30I have stairs to go to my house.
00:02:32I couldn't do legs at the gym.
00:02:34I flew commercial in a GD brace.
00:02:37You know, you'd stop security.
00:02:38They got to pat the whole thing down.
00:02:40It was obnoxious.
00:02:43Everybody, except my daughter, played their role perfectly.
00:02:47She tried to ruin it immediately.
00:02:49You know, I told her, oh, daddy's got to pretend boo-boo.
00:02:52He doesn't really have a boo-boo.
00:02:53But eventually, she'll tell everyone, daddy doesn't have a boo-boo.
00:02:56And I'll go, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:02:58And everybody will go, oh.
00:03:00Literally the first day, send her into this little summer camp.
00:03:04She does her thing for a few hours.
00:03:05She comes back.
00:03:06She's got this teacher, Miss Joy.
00:03:08She says, I told Miss Joy that you had a pretend boo-boo.
00:03:11I said, no, Rue, you can't do that.
00:03:14She goes, na-na, na-na, boo-boo.
00:03:16I told Miss Joy.
00:03:18Oh.
00:03:22Miss Joy was in the inner circle from day one.
00:03:24And she kept up her end of the bargain, too.
00:03:26Appreciate that, Miss Joy.
00:03:40SummerSlam has always been arguably the second largest event that WWE does.
00:03:47The big tentpole event is the only way that I can think to say it.
00:03:51One of the greatest wrestling matches of all time has their second place here at SummerSlam.
00:04:01You run these big epic storylines through the summer.
00:04:05They peak at SummerSlam.
00:04:07Ray Mysterio has his son back.
00:04:10Oh, broke this on her side.
00:04:13Oh, my God.
00:04:14Give him the earth.
00:04:17History of the business as we move forward.
00:04:19There was so much talent, so much storytelling that could be done.
00:04:24This year, for the first time, SummerSlam now is a two-night event.
00:04:31In laying out the card for SummerSlam, we knew that night one would be headlined by Gunther
00:04:37defending the world title against CM Punk, with obviously the Seth Rollins cash-in surprise
00:04:42included with that, and also Jelly Roll teaming up with Randy Orton to take on Logan Paul and
00:04:49Drew McIntyre.
00:04:50One of the numerous benefits of working with an outside performer like a Jelly Roll is
00:04:55that they have different opportunities outside of our world in which they can promote WWE.
00:05:01We found out that Jelly Roll was actually going to be hosting an episode of the Jimmy Kimmel
00:05:05show, and thought that'd be a perfect opportunity to use it as a platform to kind of promote
00:05:10Jelly's tag match at SummerSlam.
00:05:13I guess we're going to go to commercial break.
00:05:15Commercial break it is.
00:05:17Oh, actually, no, I don't think we're going to go to commercial break.
00:05:22You, my friend, are a greasy, redneck prison rat.
00:05:28Who the f*** is this?
00:05:29Shut the hell up, Jelly Roll.
00:05:31There's your receipt, stupid.
00:05:32Hey, congrats.
00:05:33It's Logan Paul's show now.
00:05:35A real superstar.
00:05:36So, ladies and gentlemen, you want to see a real star?
00:05:40I'm here.
00:05:41Why don't you leave, huh?
00:05:53Getting involved in SummerSlam scared me.
00:05:56I haven't felt fear like that in a long time.
00:05:59I mean, it scared me.
00:06:00It kept me up at night some nights.
00:06:01I'd wake up out of sleeps about it.
00:06:03I wasn't nervous.
00:06:05That's something you feel before a concert.
00:06:06That's healthy.
00:06:07I was scared of, um, I was scared of being rejected.
00:06:16And I haven't had that fear in a long time, neither.
00:06:18It reminded me of, like, the early bar shows.
00:06:21Like, I don't really know how they're going to feel about me out here.
00:06:31You got 20 seconds for me to run somebody?
00:06:33Yes, sir.
00:06:34Is it too early in the day to talk about our finish?
00:06:37No?
00:06:39No?
00:06:39Don't go out here yet.
00:06:41You want to go heels up?
00:06:44I'm not opposed to it.
00:06:45I'm still mulling it over.
00:06:47I've got all the details.
00:06:48I'm weighing out the overall card.
00:06:51Do I need a babyface moment, or do I need a down moment that late in the show?
00:06:56If you ask me where I'm at right now, I'm 60-40, you go down.
00:07:01We get heels up, 60-40.
00:07:03But I want to feel that out for a little bit.
00:07:06I was campaigning to lose.
00:07:08Because we were also trying to clearly tell the story of a man that was unqualified to be in there.
00:07:11Well, I've been thrown through, like, 12, 15 tables getting ready for this.
00:07:15But I haven't actually been through an announcer table with somebody jumping me.
00:07:19You lay on this table just to feel what it's like?
00:07:21I bug y'all, man.
00:07:22I just, I don't want the first time I lay on it before I go through it to be in
00:07:25front of 60,000 people and have no clue what the fuck it feels like.
00:07:28This is the only thing that I'm going to do tonight that I haven't got to try at all.
00:07:34I have no clue how bad it is or isn't going to hurt.
00:07:36I just keep thinking about how far that jump is and how big Logan is.
00:07:40So it's kind of like a little bit like this, but also at an angle.
00:07:43So he'll come, boom.
00:07:44No, no, no, not that angle.
00:07:46Because he'll be coming ahead this way.
00:07:48I'll be on that table, right?
00:07:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:52Yeah, you'll be fine.
00:07:54And then just...
00:07:55Boom.
00:07:55Yep.
00:07:57This thing will break.
00:07:58Mm-hmm.
00:07:59Tuck the chin.
00:07:59It's a clean bump, right?
00:08:00Yep, yep, yep.
00:08:02I'll be okay.
00:08:03We'll be all right.
00:08:04My wife will be sitting right there.
00:08:05She's going to shit herself.
00:08:07She's going to lose her mind, dude.
00:08:10You got any words or advice for me here?
00:08:12Kind of sit up a little bit on impact.
00:08:15Sit up a little bit before impact.
00:08:17Well, I heard you.
00:08:18Yep.
00:08:19Just a little bit.
00:08:20Yeah.
00:08:21Kind of tighten up.
00:08:21Yeah, it'll be a snug shot.
00:08:24It may knock the wind out of you, but you'll be fine.
00:08:27You know, later.
00:08:29For sure.
00:08:31I got a minute to sail here.
00:08:32You probably won't feel much of it in the moment when you cool off.
00:08:38That's when you'll feel it.
00:08:40When the adrenaline comes out.
00:08:42When I go back there and sit down, I'm going to feel every one of these.
00:08:44Yes, you are.
00:08:45And you're going to feel it even more tomorrow when you wake up.
00:08:51Feeling good?
00:08:51Yes.
00:08:52So I got to say, at Saturday's main events, I felt really bad for Seth.
00:08:57Seth Rollins?
00:08:58Yeah, I felt really bad for him.
00:08:59Why?
00:08:59Then I came to you and it was like, hey, man, he's out.
00:09:02If you need me.
00:09:03Yeah.
00:09:03And you just didn't even acknowledge it at all.
00:09:05That it was like, hey, man.
00:09:07Suffice obvious.
00:09:08Yeah.
00:09:10Yeah.
00:09:10Look, I don't like giving people information they don't need.
00:09:14No, no, no.
00:09:14It's all good.
00:09:15It's all good.
00:09:15I think it's myself anyway.
00:09:16I wanted to tell him because I thought it was funny.
00:09:18Because in the first moment, I didn't have any mail.
00:09:19I didn't think of it like, hey.
00:09:21I don't know.
00:09:21I believed everybody.
00:09:22It was like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:09:24Poor guy.
00:09:24Yeah, yeah.
00:09:25And you know what we're doing tonight, right?
00:09:28Yeah.
00:09:30Hey, son.
00:09:31Good, you?
00:09:33So, aftermath?
00:09:35You have a second.
00:09:35We'll talk about it again.
00:09:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:37So, we want to paint the picture where you go over.
00:09:40But you're exhausted.
00:09:42You finally have that moment.
00:09:43We're getting Gunther out.
00:09:45You finally get the fucking year on your knees or whatever that is.
00:09:47And they finally get that title.
00:09:48And they have that emotional moment.
00:09:49Like, fuck, you fucking did it.
00:09:51You know what I mean?
00:09:51And as emotional as possible, I'm going to get a camera in the ring to make it look like
00:09:55we're going off the air, you know?
00:09:57You can fucking get up on your feet.
00:09:58And you finally just give me that moment where you fucking look and just.
00:10:03Before you even get it up.
00:10:04Here he comes.
00:10:05And I feel like, you know, you take your time on all that, too.
00:10:09Like, you fucking can't fucking believe it.
00:10:12You cry if you can.
00:10:14And you know what I mean?
00:10:15As emotional as fucking possible.
00:10:16As soon as you just do this, it's like, fuck.
00:10:19I will milk that till it is bone dry.
00:10:24Bobby Likudny plans for post-match.
00:10:29Sounds awesome.
00:10:30Sounds good.
00:10:32Yeah, I felt like if you went through a war, you know, you went through a war, can barely
00:10:36get up and fucking, but you've overcome and all that shit.
00:10:39And holy shit, he finally fucking did it.
00:10:40Here's your moment.
00:10:41Bang.
00:10:43We are live at the home of the NFL's Giants and Jets, the finals of the 2026 FIFA World
00:10:50Cup, a neighborhood which has hosted a number of Summer Slams, but tonight makes history
00:10:56with the first ever epic two-night event.
00:11:00Over 50,000 WWE fans are expected tonight for the 38th annual Summer Slam.
00:11:13One minute to party.
00:11:15Hey, just take your time.
00:11:17We're in no rush, so don't feel like you got to rush.
00:11:19Take your time going up the stairs.
00:11:20Take your time doing all of it and have fun.
00:11:22All right?
00:11:23Let's go.
00:11:25Let's do it.
00:11:26It's so nice meeting you.
00:11:27All right.
00:11:30Hello, it's me.
00:11:32Hello, it's me.
00:11:33Hello, it's me.
00:11:35Hello.
00:11:56What's good, WWE Universe?
00:12:02Who's made a whip so bad?
00:12:07Good.
00:12:16Just don't look at you.
00:12:18You got it.
00:12:18It's all.
00:12:19The moves, all that's in there.
00:12:20Yes, sir.
00:12:21Love you, brother.
00:12:22Thank you for the opportunity, man.
00:12:24Fuck yeah.
00:12:24Yes, sir.
00:12:25I'm going to make you proud.
00:12:26Take this shit up.
00:12:26Yes, sir.
00:12:27Enjoy this.
00:12:27I'm going to have a fucking ball.
00:12:35Jelly Roll weighs in at 299 pounds, the lightest in many, many years.
00:12:41Jelly Roll has been doing all the right things.
00:12:44He's been training with some of the absolute best.
00:12:47What he hasn't done is actually have a match.
00:12:57As the bell rings, Jelly Roll tags himself in.
00:13:01We're going to have to see what Jelly Roll has learned over the past number of weeks as he starts
00:13:06things off.
00:13:07I'm about to get a little flurry here from Jelly.
00:13:13And a big elbow by Jelly drops Paul.
00:13:17Oh!
00:13:20You're going to get a tag to victory.
00:13:24Now the game changes.
00:13:25Yeah, Jelly, you might want to make a tag now to Mr. Orton while you have the opportunity because here
00:13:29comes McIntyre.
00:13:31Oh, Randy trying to psych up Jelly Roll.
00:13:37Now they realize he made a mistake.
00:13:41It is every celebrity's dream to get in this ring until you face reality.
00:13:49You want to put Jelly on the table?
00:13:52Look at your big table spot.
00:13:55Oh, man, this is, things are getting out of control here.
00:13:59There's no way to feel what this is going to feel like.
00:14:01I look up and I see him clap those two water bottles together.
00:14:07I'm petrified at this moment.
00:14:12Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
00:14:17Holy shit! Holy shit!
00:14:22Jelly Roll is going to rue the day that he wanted to become a WWE superstar.
00:14:35Check, check on everybody, please.
00:14:38The medical personnel at ringside have got Jelly Roll to his feet.
00:14:43Everybody's good. Everybody's good.
00:14:45A two-on-one situation.
00:14:48Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre continue to pummel away on Orton.
00:14:54Logan Paul laughing and mocking at Jelly Roll.
00:14:58Bye-bye!
00:15:00Me and Shane, the producer Shane, we talked about it all night.
00:15:04Like, this is where wins or dies.
00:15:06When you turn around, it's either going to be one of the pops of the night or it'll fall flat.
00:15:17When I turned around for that comeback, it was like, it happened.
00:15:24I don't know what Jelly's thinking.
00:15:26He's trying to drag himself back in.
00:15:32We got to applaud Jelly Roll to not leave his partner high and dry here in this match.
00:15:38Randy Orton is going to tag in Jelly Roll, and here he comes.
00:15:44And Jelly Roll with a clothesline.
00:15:48Just biting a pure adrenaline hand.
00:15:52Watch for the Claymore. Stay here, stay here.
00:15:56Claymore!
00:15:58Logan Paul up top.
00:16:04For the win!
00:16:09Well, there's no fairytale ending for our celebrity here tonight.
00:16:14He showed us all something here.
00:16:17Jelly Roll went out on his shield.
00:16:22That was awesome.
00:16:23It was great.
00:16:25First of all, shout out to Triple H for believing it.
00:16:27Right?
00:16:28Because imagine there's a 480-pound musician in Gorilla taking up the space of three men,
00:16:33going, dude, I'm going to lose a bunch of weight, kick a wrist-in' match,
00:16:36I've been a fan my whole life, and Triple H believed me.
00:16:40Love you.
00:16:41I'm in, brother.
00:16:42I'm in fucking in.
00:16:43Congratulations.
00:16:44Love you, man.
00:16:46You said you would.
00:16:47You worked your fucking ass off, man.
00:16:49I know I made a couple mistakes, but I did pretty good.
00:16:51Dude, nobody even noticed those.
00:16:52I only say this to people that get it.
00:16:54Respect.
00:16:56Fucking respect.
00:16:56Okay?
00:16:58Fuck yeah.
00:17:04Are you on your bus?
00:17:07Yes.
00:17:08So I'll come out to see you.
00:17:10Let's make sure it's exactly how we want it.
00:17:13And the next time we come in, we're going for it.
00:17:19Punk wins.
00:17:22We get the title in Punk's hands.
00:17:27When he lifts the title in the air to give it to the audience that chanted his name for 10
00:17:32years,
00:17:34we hit your music.
00:17:35Talk through it now or later?
00:17:37I'll talk to you now.
00:17:38Okay.
00:17:38We're doing a cash-in, okay?
00:17:39Okay.
00:17:39So Seth is coming back.
00:17:41So when you get to the bottom of the ramp, just kind of wait, because Seth is going to come
00:17:45out.
00:17:45We come out on the stage.
00:17:47I have the briefcase.
00:17:49You're on crutches.
00:17:50Crutches and the brace.
00:17:51And the knee brace.
00:17:53Seth is coming down, and Seth is going to grab you.
00:17:56He's going to slide in.
00:17:57He's going to whack Punk a bunch of times.
00:17:58He's going to come to you, say he's going to cash in.
00:18:00Woo!
00:18:01Walking up with you for the fucking best in the world, baby.
00:18:03Are you cracking him with the briefcase?
00:18:06Oh, yeah.
00:18:07I can't wait.
00:18:07Many times, if I can.
00:18:10Stomp.
00:18:11You do the cash-in.
00:18:12He's going to stomp him.
00:18:13You count the one, two, three.
00:18:14On the ring.
00:18:14We do that, okay.
00:18:16We stay in the ring?
00:18:18We stay in the ring.
00:18:20We stand over the dead body.
00:18:22Get the heat.
00:18:22Get out one time.
00:18:23You call it.
00:18:24We'll go with your gut.
00:18:25That's great.
00:18:26Yeah, I like that.
00:18:31From Chicago, Illinois, CM Punk!
00:18:42You can have all the cockiness and arrogance in the world when you're in your 20s, but right now, old
00:18:49father time is catching up with CM Punk.
00:18:52It's a win now situation.
00:18:55Jess, I don't know exactly how it's going to go, but just be at the bottom of the ramp.
00:18:58So if Seth points at you or grabs you, just go along with it.
00:19:08The sun's gone to hell.
00:19:09The moon's riding high, and we are ready for a main event for the ages here.
00:19:18Oh!
00:19:20Oh my goodness, again.
00:19:23A shotgun-like blast.
00:19:25Stay here.
00:19:26I'm going to get a chop fast, my gutter.
00:19:28And now a chop to the back, and Punk's in trouble now.
00:19:32Keep chopping.
00:19:33One in the belly.
00:19:33The body of CM Punk is being broken down before our eyes.
00:19:38Stacks him up to retain, and Punk kicks it too.
00:19:41Not quite sure how Punk still has anything left in him.
00:19:46Can you make sure that Heyman's up here, please?
00:19:49Paul Heyman?
00:19:56It's tough to keep her surprised now.
00:20:01Keeping a return a secret?
00:20:05Not letting people know that Seth Rollins doesn't need crutches?
00:20:11This makes it so much more difficult.
00:20:14It's all it takes is one person goes,
00:20:21What goes into a reveal?
00:20:24Everything.
00:20:26We're doing theater, and the audience is our chorus.
00:20:34We're building to something,
00:20:36and we're asking you to pay to enjoy the ride along with us.
00:20:44What can make this moment that memorable?
00:20:50That's the assignment.
00:20:52That's the job.
00:20:54That's what we do.
00:20:59It's a miracle.
00:21:00You got the crutches?
00:21:02Hey, I'm going to get them up here, Seth.
00:21:04Are you going to take the brace off, too?
00:21:05What's that?
00:21:06Taking the brace off as well?
00:21:09Welcome back.
00:21:11These fucking crutches are the death of me, Larry.
00:21:14Gunther's taking a victory lap already.
00:21:18Wait a minute.
00:21:19CM Punk back at his feet.
00:21:20And Gunther may have made a critical error there.
00:21:23This is going to be fucking great.
00:21:24I think so.
00:21:25Oh, my goodness.
00:21:26Oh, my goodness.
00:21:28Oh, wow.
00:21:28The world champion has been busted open.
00:21:32Gunther is busted open.
00:21:34My God.
00:21:34I don't know if I've ever seen Gunther covered in his own blood like that.
00:21:39Gunther trying to beg off.
00:21:40I don't remember, to your point,
00:21:42the last time Gunther's tasted his own blood in a match.
00:21:45Forget everything that's happened previously.
00:21:48The game has changed.
00:21:58Oh, yeah.
00:21:59Punk delivers it to Gunther.
00:22:01And Punk could be closing in on his championship.
00:22:05CM Punk still with some life left.
00:22:07Punk now with Gunther up on his shoulders.
00:22:11Punk for the GTS.
00:22:13A go to sleep to the champion.
00:22:15Punk's going to go for it again.
00:22:16Punk for the second GTS.
00:22:21Punk into the cover.
00:22:23Punk is the world champion.
00:22:25CM Punk is the world champion.
00:22:28Here is your winner.
00:22:32The new world heavyweight champion.
00:22:40CM Punk.
00:22:42And milky, motherfucker.
00:22:47An emotional CM Punk filled with tears
00:22:52has finally proven beyond a shadow of a doubt
00:22:56that he is the best in the world.
00:23:01On me.
00:23:04Now.
00:23:25Once the audience hears the music,
00:23:28I was worried
00:23:30they would know
00:23:32what was happening.
00:23:33Even when I came out on the crutches
00:23:35with the brace.
00:23:37And I thought
00:23:38maybe the
00:23:41ruse at the end of the ruse
00:23:42was
00:23:44a bit surplus.
00:23:46And
00:23:46the second pop wouldn't be as big
00:23:48as the first pop.
00:23:49That's always the big fear
00:23:51is that
00:23:51you want your pops to elevate.
00:23:53You want the excitement to increase
00:23:55as you're moving towards the moment.
00:24:04Seth will take a step to lead
00:24:06like he's going back through Gorilla
00:24:07and then we'll get all of our Shakespeare.
00:24:10That was the only concern I had
00:24:11was
00:24:12whether we were going in the right direction
00:24:15by doing the walk away
00:24:16and oh
00:24:17he's just here to remind people
00:24:18that he's still got the case.
00:24:20That moment
00:24:21I didn't know if that was going to play well.
00:24:34When I heard the noise
00:24:36when the crutches drop
00:24:37I was like
00:24:38oh
00:24:39oh yeah.
00:24:43Oh I'm sorry
00:24:45were some of my posts misleading?
00:24:55Oh
00:24:56my
00:24:58God
00:24:59Oh no
00:25:00Oh no
00:25:03Not tonight
00:25:05Not tonight of all nights
00:25:07I call it a miracle
00:25:10but I don't think it's that
00:25:12And see how Punk and Seth Rollins now
00:25:14going after one another
00:25:24And another one
00:25:26Another one
00:25:27And another one
00:25:29Punk getting the hell beat out of him
00:25:32by Seth Rollins
00:25:33Cash it in
00:25:35Cash it in
00:25:36Cash it in
00:25:37Cash it in
00:25:40Right there
00:25:40Right there
00:25:42That's your shot
00:25:43That's the one
00:25:44He's the one
00:25:45He's the only thing in your way
00:25:47This is the vision
00:25:48Punk is helpless
00:25:51I'll stop the Punk
00:25:53You gotta be kidding me
00:25:54A cover by Rollins
00:25:59Oh my God
00:26:00Rollins is the world heavyweight champion
00:26:03He is your winner
00:26:06And new
00:26:09World heavyweight champion
00:26:13Seth
00:26:15Brickin
00:26:19Rollins
00:26:21Seth Rollins
00:26:23Outmaneuvered
00:26:25CM Punk
00:26:27Again
00:26:30That's the ultimate indicator
00:26:33How's the payoff
00:26:35If the payoff worked
00:26:36Then everything else worked
00:26:37And I believe that it worked perfectly
00:26:41I'm just so happy that's over
00:26:43Now I don't have to lie anymore
00:26:50This is what we've been dreaming of
00:26:53This is what we've been dreaming of
00:26:55This is the beauty
00:26:57Of the work ethic
00:27:00This crazy ass performance art
00:27:04That we lovingly call professional wrestling
00:27:14You're lying motherfucker
00:27:17You guys man
00:27:19Learn from the best
00:27:20You know what I mean
00:27:20That was badass dude
00:27:21Thank you
00:27:26That was fucking badass
00:27:39It felt like
00:27:40Now we're here
00:27:41Now we've arrived
00:27:42And we can really start to do some fantastic work
00:27:45For wherever this leads
00:27:48I am beat the fuck up
00:27:50I need an ice bath
00:27:51And some ice cream
00:27:52And some ice
00:27:55It's nights like that
00:27:56That remind me of
00:28:00What I fell in love with
00:28:01To start this entire journey
00:28:06It's a physical business
00:28:07But it's about
00:28:09It's about making people feel
00:28:10What you're feeling
00:28:12You know
00:28:13Sometimes you put yourself through hell
00:28:15To uh
00:28:17For your art
00:28:18For your art
00:28:20Oh man
00:28:23It's about emotion
00:28:28Okay
00:28:28Thank you for the opportunity
00:28:30I hope that was everything you wanted
00:28:31Oh my god
00:28:31That was fucking bad
00:28:32That had to feel good
00:28:33Oh
00:28:33I mean
00:28:34Yes and no
00:28:35Yeah
00:28:36Yeah
00:28:36Yeah
00:28:36A lot of it didn't feel good
00:28:38Yes and no
00:28:38But it had to feel good
00:28:39No
00:28:39But that's what it needed to be
00:28:40Dude
00:28:40And then you played that shit on the end
00:28:42With the tears in your eyes
00:28:44All that shit
00:28:45Was so fucking good and emotional
00:28:47You'll get sick of me saying it
00:28:48But thank you for the opportunity
00:28:49You brought me back here
00:28:51And I think we're doing great things
00:28:53You make me and Mick look like fucking genius
00:28:55Magic
00:28:56Magic
00:28:56Fucking A
00:28:58So night one
00:28:59Was epic
00:29:00Went about as well
00:29:01As well as I think it could have
00:29:03But we still got a whole other night to go
00:29:24I got this thing a long time ago
00:29:26And I finally found an excuse to use it
00:29:27So I was like yes
00:29:28I'm pumped
00:29:29After Wrestlemania
00:29:31And after losing to John Cena
00:29:33I took a little time off
00:29:36Inhale left arm up
00:29:38The biggest thing from yoga
00:29:39Is being present
00:29:41My mind runs
00:29:43At a pace
00:29:44Where I often don't
00:29:45Take any time
00:29:47To realize where we're at
00:29:50This is what we're at
00:29:51This is modern WWE
00:29:51Where the athleticism
00:29:52Is through the roof
00:29:53And if you're not doing the things
00:29:55That fix your body
00:29:57Then you end up
00:29:58Not being able to do it
00:29:59For very long
00:30:03Look at Wrestlemania
00:30:04And when you lose the title
00:30:06No matter what anyone tells you
00:30:07If they tell you
00:30:08It doesn't matter
00:30:09Or it doesn't feel a certain way
00:30:10They're lying to you
00:30:11I didn't like the end result
00:30:14Not in terms of finish
00:30:15In terms of execution
00:30:17I think it was
00:30:18Beneath what we can do
00:30:20I need far better
00:30:22And not just I need far better
00:30:24WWE needs far better
00:30:26So I think
00:30:28That the reason
00:30:29That a lot of people
00:30:31Were down on the
00:30:33Cena-Cody
00:30:35Wrestlemania match
00:30:36Was
00:30:38That it didn't translate
00:30:40And it didn't feel genuine
00:30:42Because you know what John
00:30:44They love you
00:30:45They appreciate you
00:30:46You've done
00:30:47Maybe more than
00:30:49Anybody's ever done
00:30:50For this industry
00:30:51And you're not going to be able
00:30:53To take that away from them
00:30:54They're not going to hate you
00:30:56Like you want them to hate you
00:30:58It's not going to happen
00:30:59Just go out there
00:31:01And tear it up
00:31:02That's what they want
00:31:04If people were disappointed
00:31:06Let's round this out
00:31:07Let's remind them
00:31:08That WWE always does have
00:31:09Not just a happy ending
00:31:11But a conclusion
00:31:14The goal would be
00:31:15To get back to
00:31:16The title match
00:31:17Wrestling against
00:31:19John Cena
00:31:19At SummerSlam
00:31:21Namaste
00:31:23John really
00:31:25Wanted to make up
00:31:26For the Mania match
00:31:27Bad
00:31:28He felt he owed Cody that
00:31:32The only thing left too
00:31:33Was to determine
00:31:34How and when
00:31:35We were going to get
00:31:36John Cena
00:31:37Back over to being
00:31:38Classic babyface
00:31:39John Cena
00:31:40John Cena's going to
00:31:41Defend that title
00:31:42Against Cody Rhodes
00:31:43But it's no DQ
00:31:44Or it's a street fight
00:31:45Or whatever
00:31:46Does he fucking
00:31:48Shake Cody's hand
00:31:50Do all that stuff
00:31:51Like have a moment there
00:31:52Let the end of the heel run
00:31:56Resonate as Cody did it
00:31:59Then get it done
00:32:00On the other side
00:32:01Is the flip side
00:32:03Of that
00:32:04John then
00:32:05Coming to
00:32:06Cody's aid
00:32:08Yeah
00:32:08Right
00:32:09Like to turn back
00:32:09Babyface
00:32:10Somewhere in August
00:32:12Because
00:32:12Cody now is in trouble
00:32:14And the guy that
00:32:15Actually saves him
00:32:16Is John Cena
00:32:16Under the
00:32:19I fucked up
00:32:20And I got
00:32:21Ahead of myself here
00:32:23And
00:32:24I realized
00:32:24That I thought
00:32:25You weren't the guy
00:32:26And you are
00:32:27And I fucking
00:32:28Support you
00:32:28And believe in you
00:32:29And now he
00:32:30Finishes out
00:32:31August to December
00:32:33Clean
00:32:33As a babyface
00:32:35Is what we were
00:32:36Originally thinking
00:32:37And is that the
00:32:38Is that the scenario
00:32:42We didn't know
00:32:42At the time
00:32:43Cody was going to be
00:32:43Then going away
00:32:44To make a movie
00:32:45For six weeks
00:32:46I got to get
00:32:47With John
00:32:49The Cody
00:32:50Going away
00:32:50Thing changes
00:32:51A bunch of shit
00:32:52On the backside
00:32:53Of SummerSlam
00:32:53I am going to
00:32:54Australia
00:32:55To shoot
00:32:55Street Fighter
00:32:56Where I will
00:32:57Be playing
00:32:58The character
00:32:59Of Guile
00:32:59Which is dope
00:33:01I grew up
00:33:02Playing the character
00:33:03So they kind of
00:33:04Got me sight unseen
00:33:06Which I hope
00:33:07I don't blow it
00:33:12The thought was
00:33:13At that point
00:33:14Of let's just
00:33:15Get to
00:33:16Cena
00:33:16The night before
00:33:17And kind of
00:33:18Pull him back
00:33:18So that Cena
00:33:19Was made whole
00:33:20And back on the
00:33:21Good side of things
00:33:22Heading into that
00:33:24Match
00:33:24A good face turn
00:33:26Is never meant
00:33:27To really be a shock
00:33:31A good face turn
00:33:32Should be something
00:33:33You're feeling
00:33:34And you already
00:33:35Were like
00:33:35Come on man
00:33:36We're cheering for you
00:33:37Now
00:33:37Like just come on
00:33:45And a really good
00:33:46Babyface turn
00:33:47Is one that
00:33:48We're leading the audience
00:33:49To but also
00:33:50The audience
00:33:50Is leading us to
00:33:52John's being
00:33:53A prime example
00:33:54Of a face turn
00:33:55Where he basically
00:33:56Said
00:33:56I'm a babyface now
00:33:58Mark your calendar
00:34:00Cody
00:34:00August 1st
00:34:022025
00:34:03Newark, New Jersey
00:34:05The day that
00:34:06John Cena
00:34:07Came back
00:34:08To the WWE
00:34:13John
00:34:13Doing it in the fashion
00:34:15That he did
00:34:15Where he told the audience
00:34:16I'm gonna be me
00:34:18Very John
00:34:19And let me make it
00:34:20Even cleaner for you
00:34:21I'm gonna tell him
00:34:22I'm back
00:34:23He's back
00:34:25I'm gonna be me
00:34:25At SummerSlam
00:34:26And me at SummerSlam
00:34:27Is one of the greatest
00:34:29Babyfaces
00:34:29If not
00:34:30The greatest
00:34:30Babyface of all time
00:34:40The easiest way
00:34:41For us to get you involved
00:34:43If you don't mind
00:34:44Would be having these
00:34:46Accessible
00:34:47Without making
00:34:48One of these
00:34:48And just take them
00:34:49Yeah
00:34:50Okay
00:34:50That's alright
00:34:51Totally fine with me
00:34:52Do you want us to use
00:34:53The thing in the match
00:34:54Or like
00:34:55Sure
00:34:55Okay cool
00:34:56I also don't want
00:34:57To put you in a spot
00:34:58Where you feel
00:35:00I'll come
00:35:01No not at all
00:35:02I'm excited you are
00:35:03Awesome
00:35:03Awesome
00:35:04I think
00:35:04I think the story
00:35:05That we wanted to tell
00:35:07Was
00:35:10We're willing
00:35:11To both go to the lengths
00:35:12That a street fight
00:35:13Demands
00:35:15But we don't have to do it
00:35:16Without respect
00:35:17I wanted every bit of it
00:35:19To be a warrior's death
00:35:22If you're refusing
00:35:23To hand the torch
00:35:24I'm gonna murder you
00:35:25For it
00:35:26I'm gonna take it
00:35:27By force
00:35:30Some of these versions
00:35:31Where I'm standing there
00:35:32And watching them come up
00:35:33It's a lot of just
00:35:34Looking at it
00:35:35With love
00:35:36Reverence
00:35:36But also like
00:35:37We're at it
00:35:38I think so
00:35:38And also
00:35:39I don't know
00:35:39Is there a little salute
00:35:40In there
00:35:42That whole fucking
00:35:43I love you but I'm sorry
00:35:44You know what I mean
00:35:45Kind of thing
00:35:55This was the big finale
00:35:57To me and Becky's feud
00:35:59The ultimate battle
00:36:01At the end of our story
00:36:32I felt a lot of pressure
00:36:33We are using
00:36:34You're right there
00:36:35Maybe we don't do that
00:36:37So in what we call
00:36:38Gimmick matches
00:36:39You know
00:36:39No DQ
00:36:40Street fight
00:36:41They're hard to prepare for
00:36:42Because you can
00:36:44Talk them through
00:36:45You can't actually
00:36:47Go through them
00:36:49At full speed
00:36:50Because you have to
00:36:51Save that for the match
00:36:52Otherwise you're gonna
00:36:53Kill the guy or girl
00:36:54Before the match
00:36:55And they're not gonna
00:36:56Be able to perform
00:36:56To their best
00:36:57So you can't do that
00:36:59Maybe sometimes
00:37:00Maybe
00:37:01How would she get out
00:37:03You get one try
00:37:04At this stuff
00:37:05And it's in front
00:37:06Of 60,000 people
00:37:08We're not doing
00:37:08The old music
00:37:09No
00:37:09We're just the
00:37:10We're going straight
00:37:11Into it
00:37:12Straight into it
00:37:12We were debuting
00:37:13My new entrance music
00:37:14By the Wonder Years
00:37:16Who were one of
00:37:17My favorite bands
00:37:19New freaking song
00:37:20Oh I love it man
00:37:22I love it
00:37:23I reached out
00:37:24To the Wonder Years
00:37:25Big fan of them
00:37:28And Dan Campbell
00:37:29The singer
00:37:30The songwriter
00:37:31Of the band
00:37:32I was like
00:37:33Man
00:37:33Would you guys
00:37:34Be interested
00:37:35In doing my song
00:37:35If I can
00:37:36If I can
00:37:38Like two seconds later
00:37:39He wrote
00:37:40Right
00:37:40Fuck yeah
00:37:41Yeah we would love to
00:37:45Within like two days
00:37:46He had written
00:37:47This banger of a song
00:37:51He had
00:37:52Lots of little
00:37:53Easter eggs in it
00:37:54And one of them
00:37:56Is
00:37:57I talk to your ghost
00:37:59Every night
00:37:59And I looked
00:38:03Where my dad
00:38:04Was sitting
00:38:05You know
00:38:06Six years ago
00:38:20Hey Finn
00:38:23Want to go over
00:38:24To go over
00:38:25Yeah
00:38:28Oh man I did not
00:38:30I got quite emotional
00:38:32On that day
00:38:34Sorry
00:38:34All good
00:38:35Last time we were here
00:38:36But I was in the front row
00:38:39And there's that line
00:38:41And the song
00:38:41You know
00:38:42I talked to your ghost
00:38:43And he just
00:38:44Kind of got me
00:38:45I got you
00:38:46All good
00:38:48Yes
00:38:49Good
00:38:49Yeah
00:38:50Yeah yeah
00:38:50I'm good
00:38:51Good
00:38:51Good
00:38:51Good
00:38:52Just got me a bit
00:38:53Emotional there
00:38:54You know
00:38:57Last time
00:38:58I was here
00:38:59My dad
00:38:59My dad was sitting there
00:39:01Yes
00:39:02Yeah my poor dad
00:39:03With cancer
00:39:03Was just sitting there
00:39:04With his fucking blanket on
00:39:05You know
00:39:06For the whole show
00:39:07The whole show
00:39:15Good to get out now
00:39:16Yeah
00:39:16Yeah
00:39:17Sometimes good
00:39:18To remember
00:39:18Where you come from
00:39:21Yeah
00:39:21And um
00:39:29Yeah got me good
00:39:30Got me good
00:39:56MetLife Stadium
00:39:57If you thought
00:39:59Last night was something
00:40:01You ain't seen nothing yet
00:40:07I have one question for you
00:40:09Are you ready?
00:40:13I said
00:40:17Are you ready?
00:40:28I always feel on fire
00:40:30Internally
00:40:30I always do
00:40:31But like
00:40:32Every time
00:40:32I feel like this
00:40:33Every time
00:40:34And then like
00:40:34It always just seems to
00:40:36To be magic
00:40:37So hopefully
00:40:38It's always gonna stay like that
00:40:40But again
00:40:40I'm always like
00:40:41Really nervous
00:40:41And
00:40:43Trying to put out
00:40:44The fires in my head
00:40:45And stay on top of things
00:40:46And you just can't freak out
00:40:47You just can't
00:40:48Like it's just
00:40:48We've got to
00:40:49We've got to
00:40:49Go
00:40:50The way I'm freaking out
00:40:52The following
00:40:54Is a no disqualification match
00:40:58For the women's
00:41:00Intercontinental
00:41:01Championship
00:41:05She is
00:41:07She is
00:41:07She is the women's
00:41:09The women's
00:41:10Intercontinental champion
00:41:11The man
00:41:14Becky Lynch
00:41:19Becky Lynch has been the standard
00:41:22Of Irish dominance
00:41:24For the past 10 years
00:41:26And she is not ready
00:41:27To relinquish that role
00:41:29To a young
00:41:30Up and coming
00:41:31Pretender
00:41:32In Lyra Valkyria
00:41:33Not sure I would use the word
00:41:35Pretender
00:41:36When it comes to
00:41:37Lyra Valkyria
00:41:39In the SummerSlam match
00:41:41I think I'd already lost
00:41:42The battle with that one
00:41:43Before I went through the curtain
00:41:44I just didn't switch on
00:41:48I felt a lot of pressure
00:41:52I'm always able to live
00:41:53In the moment
00:41:54And for that match
00:41:55I just couldn't
00:41:57Introducing the challenger
00:42:03Lyra Valkyria
00:42:05When I was making my entrance
00:42:07I was just thinking
00:42:09Let's just get the bell ringing
00:42:11Let's just do this
00:42:12And that's how I knew
00:42:14I was not in the zone
00:42:15That I needed to be
00:42:18Anything that could have gone wrong
00:42:19Went wrong
00:42:21Lyra now
00:42:22Who raked to the midsection
00:42:23Of Becky Lynch
00:42:24One of the first things
00:42:25I threw Becky into the photographer
00:42:27Becky
00:42:28Oh
00:42:29That poor still photo man
00:42:33She said sorry to him
00:42:35She's so nice
00:42:36I was like
00:42:37Oh sorry
00:42:39It's a dangerous place to be
00:42:41For anyone near this ringside area
00:42:44Here come the reveal
00:42:45Of the zip ties
00:42:46Nothing
00:42:48That happened with the weapons
00:42:49Went the way it was supposed to
00:42:51Becky's got a zip tie
00:42:53She's got a zip tie
00:42:54Zip tie the hands together
00:42:55Literally handcuffing Valkyria here
00:42:58Perfectly legal Michael Cole
00:43:01Guess what Valkyria
00:43:02This is what you asked for
00:43:05That was my idea
00:43:07I was like
00:43:08That would be a really cool moment
00:43:10If even though Becky
00:43:12Had completely incapacitated me
00:43:13I still ended up
00:43:15Beating her up
00:43:16With zip ties
00:43:18And now she's got Becky
00:43:19Trapped in the waist lock
00:43:20And now
00:43:21Lyra Valkyria
00:43:22Using headbutts
00:43:23What happened
00:43:24However
00:43:24Was
00:43:25When I was supposed to be
00:43:27Stuck in the zip ties
00:43:27They came off
00:43:31Oh shit
00:43:34What
00:43:35Was it off
00:43:36Was she out of those
00:43:38Yeah
00:43:39She's got to just
00:43:40Fucking get out of them
00:43:41They're loose
00:43:41Then tell her just
00:43:42They're off
00:43:44I'm trained
00:43:45When something happens
00:43:46That's not planned
00:43:47You throw the plan out the window
00:43:49And you go
00:43:50They're off
00:43:51But in the moment
00:43:52When they came off
00:43:53I was thinking
00:43:55What if the cameras
00:43:56Didn't catch that
00:43:58If they miss that
00:43:59Then it's like
00:44:00She was zip tied a second ago
00:44:01And now she's not
00:44:02Whereas if I slip them back on
00:44:04And hope the cameras
00:44:04Didn't see it
00:44:05Same much
00:44:08The cameras did catch it
00:44:10Which is another
00:44:11Unfortunate thing
00:44:12From the match
00:44:14Did it come out
00:44:15I'm done
00:44:16And then she put her own
00:44:17Hand back in
00:44:19How soon
00:44:19She gets out of this
00:44:20She's going to go under the ring
00:44:22And we're going to lose
00:44:22Lyra
00:44:23And then he's at the end
00:44:24Of these zip ties
00:44:27And Becky
00:44:27Oh
00:44:28And Lyra was under the ring
00:44:30With a fire extinguisher
00:44:31In hand
00:44:32And
00:44:32When I was supposed
00:44:33To free myself
00:44:34From the zip ties
00:44:35They stayed on
00:44:38Lyra trying to use
00:44:39The sharp edge
00:44:39Of that fire extinguisher
00:44:40To break the zip tie here
00:44:43I don't know why
00:44:44She's not using the ring
00:44:45Like we talked about
00:44:48Taking off the zip ties
00:44:49I couldn't get them off
00:44:50So I had to crawl
00:44:51Into the ring
00:44:51And get someone
00:44:52To cut them
00:44:53And it was a nightmare
00:45:08I just didn't respond
00:45:09To things going wrong
00:45:10The way
00:45:11I wish I had
00:45:12Lyra's going to put her foot
00:45:13Out on the table
00:45:14Run Becky
00:45:14Backwards into the post
00:45:16Or not
00:45:17I'm not exactly sure
00:45:19What's happening
00:45:20Fuck
00:45:23Becky Lynch
00:45:23Who's got Lyra trapped
00:45:24Now standing on
00:45:25The Spanish announce table
00:45:26And Becky Lynch
00:45:28Oh with a kick
00:45:29Right to Lyra
00:45:31Here's the main streak
00:45:32From the man
00:45:33Becky Lynch
00:45:34Is Bayley in position?
00:45:36Okay thank you
00:45:37Here comes the finish
00:45:38And now Becky
00:45:39Went for the man
00:45:40Handle slam
00:45:40Nice arm track
00:45:41Takedown
00:45:41And Bayley
00:45:43Oh my goodness
00:45:44Took a swing
00:45:45At Becky Lynch
00:45:46Missed
00:45:47And caught
00:45:47Valkyria
00:45:48The man handle slam
00:45:51The man retains
00:45:56Here is your winner
00:45:58How heavy was that?
00:46:00At least 10 minutes
00:46:05You've got to be tough
00:46:07You've got to be talented
00:46:08But most of all
00:46:09You've got to be lucky
00:46:10And Luck was smiling
00:46:11On Becky Lynch tonight
00:46:13Congratulations
00:46:14To Becky Lynch
00:46:15Oh she's going to be so mad
00:46:17When she's going to be back
00:46:18And everything else
00:46:20Sorry
00:46:21Uh-huh
00:46:22It wasn't great
00:46:23Huh?
00:46:24It wasn't great
00:46:25It was pretty good
00:46:27It wasn't great
00:46:29I know
00:46:31It was pretty good
00:46:33It's not good enough
00:46:38I don't think it was the drizzling shit
00:46:41Like it wasn't the worst match of all time
00:46:43But I think that we had such high expectations
00:46:48Maybe it didn't match up to that
00:46:52Yeah
00:46:53It wasn't great
00:46:55I want to be the person that people say I absolutely loved
00:46:58Wrestling her
00:46:58She gave me my best match ever
00:47:00And I felt like I let myself down
00:47:02Or it didn't rise to meet the occasion
00:47:05I didn't even want to go back up to Gorilla
00:47:07I felt so overwhelmed
00:47:11She was very upset with herself
00:47:14And she just started apologizing to me
00:47:16And I was like it's fine
00:47:18Like it's fine
00:47:19It's just wrestling
00:47:20And then she was like
00:47:21No it's not fine
00:47:22I need you to yell at me
00:47:23And I was like
00:47:24No
00:47:24I'm never going to be upset
00:47:27Because a wrestling move
00:47:30Or moves don't go our way
00:47:34She's great
00:47:35And she cares
00:47:35But also that mindset is why she's so great
00:47:39And that's why she's going to continue to be great
00:47:41And that's why she's going to get better
00:47:43Because she doesn't want to kick love
00:47:45She wants to be told
00:47:47That's both a great and terrible mindset
00:47:51Great for progress
00:47:53Terrible for mental health
00:47:54And I know this
00:47:55I am this
00:47:59I came to the back
00:48:01And a lot of my co-workers
00:48:03Commended the creativity
00:48:05And a lot of the things that we did out there
00:48:09John Cena
00:48:11Came up to me after that match
00:48:12He said very complimentary things about it
00:48:15That shit was a chair
00:48:16There's no fucking way
00:48:17I'd ever said yes to them
00:48:19Like that shit was violent and brutal
00:48:22And we got Bayley back in the fray
00:48:23And now it's like mixed emotions and shit
00:48:26Like
00:48:27It's way better than you think
00:48:29There was no changing my mind on it
00:48:31So that was very hard
00:48:36Honestly everything up to now
00:48:38Has been so amazing
00:48:39But
00:48:40You know when you
00:48:42This is everything
00:48:43Like this is everything
00:48:44So when it doesn't
00:48:47When you don't feel the magic
00:48:48Or whatever
00:48:49This is the first time I've felt this way
00:48:51I want me to be real
00:48:55That's as real as I can
00:48:56Can be right now
00:49:02Sometimes just anything that can go wrong
00:49:04Does go wrong
00:49:05Especially when you're
00:49:07You know
00:49:07Using weapons and stuff
00:49:09And you got one take
00:49:11Get all this
00:49:12It's not a movie
00:49:13We don't go out
00:49:14And rehearse stuff
00:49:15Like actors
00:49:16And stuntmen
00:49:17And all this
00:49:18And sometimes it just doesn't
00:49:20Go the way you see it
00:49:21In your head
00:49:22And
00:49:23It's just what happens sometimes
00:49:27But
00:49:27It's only like
00:49:29I think this happens to everyone
00:49:31At some point
00:49:31And the only way you can really judge
00:49:33A talent is
00:49:33On what they do afterwards
00:49:35How they handle that
00:49:36And
00:49:37They don't do this
00:49:38Let me tell you
00:49:38Like
00:49:39You can feel it in the moment
00:49:40And then you just have to pick up
00:49:41And move on
00:49:41Because we've always got raw on Monday
00:49:43We've always got the next big show
00:49:45And
00:49:46No one
00:49:46Like ever has the perfect streak
00:49:48And you have to just like
00:49:49Get knocked down
00:49:50And get back up again
00:49:51So
00:49:52Got raw on Monday
00:49:53I'm gonna have to just fucking
00:49:54Get back up
00:49:55And
00:49:56Be okay
00:50:00Anyway
00:50:01That's about as real as I can be
00:50:02And as much as I can say right now
00:50:03So
00:50:04I'm gonna go eat a cookie
00:50:05Or something
00:50:08You're
00:50:08You're always telling me
00:50:09To be present
00:50:10And soak it in
00:50:11Just had one of those moments
00:50:12Where I want to say thanks
00:50:15Thank you
00:50:15My man
00:50:18Congratulations
00:50:20Congratulations
00:50:21Let's go
00:50:22Let's go
00:50:23You've made it
00:50:24Do your thing
00:50:25You know how much
00:50:26I'm up with
00:50:26Can't wait until you're back
00:50:27I know it
00:50:29I know it
00:50:32It is main event time
00:50:33For the sixth time
00:50:35In his career
00:50:36And the final time ever
00:50:38John Cena
00:50:39Will main event
00:50:40SummerSlam
00:50:41Against the former champion
00:50:42The American Nightmare
00:50:44Cody Rhodes
00:50:45In the land
00:50:46In the soul
00:50:48Every fight
00:50:49Out of control
00:50:50Do it all
00:50:52To get them off the beat
00:50:55Whoa
00:50:58My man
00:50:59Cena claims he saw the error of his ways
00:51:02Knows he has four months left here in WWE
00:51:05All right
00:51:06Leave this sit for a second
00:51:14Everybody standing
00:51:16Fucking badass
00:51:27Ready
00:51:45In front of 60,561 WWE fans at SummerSlam
00:51:51The old John Cena
00:51:53The old John Cena is back
00:51:54Much like he proclaimed
00:51:55Friday night on Smackdown
00:51:59Y'all know what time it is
00:52:01Time to go to work
00:52:15Being in the ring at SummerSlam
00:52:17I'm glad
00:52:19Selfishly
00:52:20That I got to be part of
00:52:21The old John Cena
00:52:23Stepping back into the light
00:52:30Long form storytelling
00:52:32Hardest thing
00:52:33Is to be patient
00:52:41John Cena really has tapped back
00:52:44Into what made him great
00:52:45In the first place this evening
00:52:47But Superman
00:52:48Meet Superman
00:52:51And after the show of respect
00:52:53Here we go
00:52:54Cody and Cena underway
00:52:57Remember street fight rules
00:52:58Anything goes
00:52:59You got to win
00:53:00Via pinfall or submission
00:53:01John Cena
00:53:02Going to reverse
00:53:03Cody shoulder first
00:53:04Into the steps
00:53:05John's going to get
00:53:06These stairs
00:53:06And put him in the ring
00:53:08Cena has four months
00:53:09Left in his career here
00:53:10He wants to go out
00:53:11As the champion
00:53:13And Cena
00:53:14Oh
00:53:15Actually
00:53:17Throwing the steps
00:53:18At Cody
00:53:20We're going to work
00:53:20Our way to
00:53:21Halliburton's
00:53:23Crutch here
00:53:23John will grab it
00:53:26That's Tyrese Halliburton
00:53:27Of the
00:53:28Indiana Pacers
00:53:30Out after
00:53:31For an Achilles surgery
00:53:33And now John Cena
00:53:35Using the crunch
00:53:36Again perfectly legal
00:53:37Tonight
00:53:38Anything goes
00:53:39For the championship
00:53:44Cody quickly
00:53:45Throws Cena
00:53:46Out of the table
00:53:47The body of John Cena
00:53:49Has been through wars
00:53:50For the past 20 years
00:53:51Taken way more abuse
00:53:53Than most
00:53:54Eventually
00:53:55It does catch up
00:53:56With you
00:53:57John is
00:53:59In many ways
00:54:02Doubting himself
00:54:03More than I believe
00:54:05We are doubting him
00:54:06So he is
00:54:08In a place now
00:54:09Where he's saying
00:54:09I can't do what I used to do
00:54:11I can't deliver that level
00:54:15And the truth is
00:54:16He really still can
00:54:22John Cena
00:54:24Has the experience
00:54:25To never run out
00:54:26Of options
00:54:28He's been in the deep waters
00:54:30More than anyone
00:54:32Oh God
00:54:33Oh my God
00:54:34John Cena
00:54:34Are you kidding me
00:54:50At some point in time
00:54:53Father time beats us all
00:54:54But I'm watching him
00:54:57Do certain things
00:54:58Just like he always did
00:55:00And it's magic
00:55:01How is Cena still able
00:55:04To do this
00:55:14Who can be
00:55:24It's just a real love
00:55:25Between him and the fans
00:55:26Right now
00:55:28John's as popular
00:55:29As he's ever been
00:55:30And as over
00:55:31As he has ever been
00:55:32And I have to deal with that
00:55:47That's where it gets tough
00:55:49For fans
00:55:49Moments where they see
00:55:51Their all time favorite
00:55:53Getting beaten up
00:55:55Cody Rhodes
00:55:57Oh God
00:55:58Oh
00:56:01From their side
00:56:02It's disrespectful
00:56:05Cody's face is good
00:56:06And it sees
00:56:07Second guessing himself
00:56:08Should I have done that
00:56:10Yes
00:56:11We're going at it
00:56:12But I really love
00:56:13This guy too
00:56:15I know John does not like
00:56:16To tell the fans
00:56:17How we do it
00:56:18And I respect that
00:56:19I will tell you something
00:56:21That John Cena told me
00:56:22In the ring
00:56:22That I'll never forget
00:56:24They were booing
00:56:25This was right before
00:56:26I stomped on his ankle
00:56:27And he just looked up
00:56:28And said be yourself
00:56:30It's what you want
00:56:35This is very John
00:56:38Because the moment was there
00:56:40To be a bad guy
00:56:41To beat him up with malice
00:56:43To beat him up
00:56:44And be that heel
00:56:46John can figure that out
00:56:47And realize
00:56:48No
00:56:48Just be yourself
00:56:51Because the story
00:56:53That we wanted to tell
00:56:54Was two characters
00:56:56Being virtuous
00:56:58Let them go through
00:56:59Absolute hell
00:57:01Knowing I'm not going to
00:57:02Stab you in the back
00:57:03But I will stab you
00:57:04In the front
00:57:04Stay with Cody
00:57:05He's going to undo
00:57:06That bottom rope
00:57:08He should refuse
00:57:10To hand the torch
00:57:10Well cool
00:57:12Then I'm going to
00:57:12Take it by force
00:57:13What exactly is Cody
00:57:15Doing here
00:57:16Screwing that turnbuckle
00:57:18The rope's down
00:57:19Cody Rhodes
00:57:20With that piece of steel
00:57:22To be able to tell
00:57:23That story through our faces
00:57:25Cody having doubts
00:57:27Again here
00:57:27Well uh
00:57:28I mean he's looking
00:57:29At the all time great
00:57:35Cody Rhodes
00:57:36Doing anything he can
00:57:37To try to fill the champion
00:57:40That's the beauty
00:57:41Of a match like that
00:57:42It's very real
00:57:42Up top
00:57:45Cody
00:57:45Connor
00:57:46Through the table
00:57:48If you're a babyface
00:57:49You have to stick
00:57:50To those virtues
00:57:53Even if it's not something
00:57:54That is making them happy
00:57:56If you're beating up
00:57:57Someone that they really love
00:57:58I don't want to do that
00:57:59With any dishonor
00:58:01I want you to know that
00:58:04In a final salute
00:58:05To the greatest of all time
00:58:07Cody Rhodes
00:58:08With a crossroads
00:58:10To Cena
00:58:10Into the cover
00:58:12Hooks the leg
00:58:13Cody Rhodes
00:58:15Is champion
00:58:31It is a passing of the torch
00:58:33From the greatest of all time
00:58:34And John Cena
00:58:35To the man who will carry WWE
00:58:38Into the future
00:58:39The new undisputed
00:58:40WWE champion
00:58:42Cody Rhodes
00:58:48Cody's getting emotional
00:58:50To be around
00:58:51The literal greatest of all time
00:58:52In our business
00:58:54That situation's extremely special
00:58:55I drove John around for two years
00:58:57I learned everything I could from him
00:58:59He didn't know I was learning from him
00:59:00That's what I told him in the ring
00:59:02I told him
00:59:02Sorry it took me so long
00:59:05Cody Rhodes
00:59:07Is once again
00:59:08The undisputed
00:59:09WWE champion
00:59:15Always the gentleman
00:59:16Cody Rhodes
00:59:18The American Nightmare
00:59:19Will leave the ring
00:59:20To the one and only
00:59:21The greatest of all time
00:59:23John Cena
00:59:24To bask in the glow
00:59:25Over 60,000 people
00:59:27In what is his last
00:59:28Summer Slam
00:59:42Nobody's leaving
00:59:45Our business is about
00:59:47Telling stories
00:59:49Truth is
00:59:50John can still do that
00:59:51Better than almost anyone
00:59:59But
00:59:59The reality of it
01:00:01Is on the other side of this
01:00:02You only have 12 dates left
01:00:04In
01:00:05Arguably the greatest career
01:00:07One of the greatest performers
01:00:09Of all time
01:00:10Ladies and gentlemen
01:00:11Enjoy this
01:00:12While you can
01:00:13So
01:00:14How do you make that work
01:00:16In a way that is
01:00:17A rollercoaster ride
01:00:19Where are they bringing him by
01:00:21Bottom of Gorilla
01:00:24Anybody that doesn't need
01:00:26To be up here in Gorilla
01:00:27Needs to get the fuck out of here
01:00:28You go into John's
01:00:32Rivalries
01:00:32And histories
01:00:33How you doing?
01:00:35Good night
01:00:36Hey Bruce
01:00:37How are you sir?
01:00:38Good to see you man
01:00:39Well one of John's
01:00:40Greatest rivalries
01:00:41Was with Brock Lesnar
01:00:43Brock Lesnar
01:00:44I think it was like 2014
01:00:46Gave John Cena
01:00:48His most lopsided loss
01:00:50In John's
01:00:52Illustrious career
01:00:53Brock
01:00:5416 suplexes
01:00:57To John Cena
01:00:58That is the most
01:01:00Dominating performance
01:01:01I have ever seen
01:01:03In a championship match
01:01:05In my life
01:01:06It wasn't even close
01:01:09Brock vs. Cena
01:01:11Is a
01:01:12Big huge
01:01:13Marquee matchup
01:01:15It's Army Navy
01:01:16It's
01:01:17Georgia Alabama
01:01:19Coupled with the fact
01:01:21I think Brock was gone
01:01:23From the ring
01:01:23Two years
01:01:24When you don't see
01:01:25Something coming
01:01:26It's really good
01:01:28I'll let him come
01:01:34We have four months
01:01:35Left
01:01:36To enjoy the greatness
01:01:38That is John Cena
01:01:44What?
01:01:48Oh
01:01:49My
01:01:50God
01:01:51It's the beast
01:01:53It's the beast
01:01:55Brock Lesnar
01:01:57Hell
01:01:58Has come
01:01:59To the metal lands
01:02:05John Cena
01:02:06Once called this man
01:02:07His toughest rival
01:02:09His most physical rival
01:02:10And Brock Lesnar is here
01:02:13And he's as massive as ever
01:02:19This is a man built for one thing
01:02:21Into the ring
01:02:23And Brock Lesnar
01:02:23With John Cena on his shoulders
01:02:25Brock Lesnar
01:02:26With an F5
01:02:27To John Cena
01:02:31A message has been sent
01:02:34And everything we thought we knew
01:02:36About WWE just changed
01:02:39John Cena's got four months left
01:02:41And it could be a nightmare
01:02:43This is a man here
01:02:52He's himself
01:02:56He's himself
01:02:56In the act
01:02:56He's heavy
01:02:57No
01:02:57I
01:02:57No
01:02:59I
01:02:59I
01:02:59I
01:03:11I
