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 of it 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?
00:09:35Yeah, 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.
00:09:44You finally get the fucking, you're on your knees
00:09:46or whatever that is, and they finally get that title
00:09:48and have that emotional moment like, 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
00:09:54to make it look like we'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
00:10:00and just, before you even get it up, here 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, and 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,
00:10:34you know, you went through a war, can barely get up,
00:10:36and 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, and bang.
00:10:43We are live at the home of the NFL's Giants and Jets,
00:10:47the finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup,
00:10:51a neighborhood which has hosted a number of Summer Slams,
00:10:54but tonight makes history with the first-ever epic two-night event.
00:11:00Over 50,000 WWE fans are expected tonight
00:11:03for 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?
00:12:16You got it.
00:12:18It's all right.
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.
00:12:26Get 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 leave
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
00:24:17oh
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 gonna 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

00:28:55fucking genius
00:28:55magic
00:28:57so night one
00:28:59was epic
00:29:00went about as well
00:29:01as I think it could have
00:29:03but we still got a whole
00:29:04another 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
00:29:46take any time
00:29:47to realize where we're at
00:29:49this is modern WWE
00:29:51where the athleticism
00:29:52is through the roof
00:29:53and if you're not doing
00:29:54the 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
00:30:02look 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
00:30:12I 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
00:30:24I 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
00:30:33on the
00:30:33Cena-Cody
00:30:35Wrestlemania match
00:30:36was
00:30:38that it didn't
00:30:40translate
00:30:40and it didn't
00:30:41feel genuine
00:30:42because you know what
00:30:43John
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
00:30:52be able to take that
00:30:53away from them
00:30:54they're not going to
00:30:55hate you
00:30:56like you want them
00:30:57to 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
00:31:16to the title match
00:31:17wrestling against
00:31:19John Cena
00:31:19at SummerSlam
00:31:22Namaste
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
00:31:30Cody that
00:31:32the only thing left
00:31:33too was to determine
00:31:34how and when
00:31:35we were going to get
00:31:36John Cena back over
00:31:38to being classic
00:31:39babyface John Cena
00:31:40John Cena's got a
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
00:31:54heel run
00:31:56resonate as
00:31:56Cody did it
00:31:58then
00:31:59get it done
00:32:00on the other side
00:32:01yeah
00:32:01is the flip side
00:32:03of that
00:32:04John then
00:32:05coming to
00:32:07Cody's aid
00:32:08yeah
00:32:08right
00:32:09like to turn back
00:32:09babyface
00:32:11somewhere in August
00:32:12because
00:32:12Cody now
00:32:14is in trouble
00:32:14and the guy
00:32:15that actually
00:32:15saves him
00:32:16is John Cena
00:32:17under the
00:32:19I fucked up
00:32:20and I got
00:32:21ahead of myself
00:32:22here
00:32:23and
00:32:23I realized
00:32:25that 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 August
00:32:31to 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
00:32:38scenario
00:32:41we 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 gotta get with
00:32:47John
00:32:49the Cody going 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 to shoot
00:32:55Street Fighter
00:32:56where I will
00:32:57be playing the
00:32:59character of 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 Cena
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 match
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

00:33:46baby face turn
00:33:47is one that
00:33:48we're leading
00:33:48the audience to
00:33:49but also the audience
00:33:50is leading us to
00:33:52John's being a prime
00:33:53example of
00:33:54a face turn
00:33:55where he basically
00:33:56said
00:33:56I'm a baby face
00:33:58now
00:33:58mark your calendar
00:34:00Cody

00:34:022025
00:34:03Newark

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
00:34:14fashion that he did
00:34:15where he told the
00:34:16audience
00:34:16I'm gonna be me
00:34:18very John
00:34:19and let me make it
00:34:20even cleaner for you

00:34:23he'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
00:34:28greatest baby faces
00:34:29if not the greatest
00:34:30baby face of all time
00:34:40the easiest way
00:34:41for us to get you
00:34:43involved
00:34:43if you don't mind
00:34:44would be having
00:34:46these accessible
00:34:47without making
00:34:48one of these
00:34:48and just take
00:34:49them in the
00:34:50okay
00:34:50that's alright
00:34:51totally fine with me

00:35:05that we wanted
00:35:06to tell was
00:35:10we're willing
00:35:11to both go
00:35:12to the lengths
00:35:12that a street fight
00:35:13demands
00:35:15but we don't have
00:35:16to do it
00:35:16without respect
00:35:17I wanted
00:35:18every bit of it
00:35:19to be a warrior's
00:35:20death
00:35:22if you're refusing
00:35:23to hand the torch
00:35:24I'm gonna murder
00:35:25you for it
00:35:26I'm gonna take
00:35:27it by force
00:35:30some of these
00:35:31versions where
00:35:31I'm standing there
00:35:32and watching them
00:35:32come up
00:35:33it's a lot of
00:35:34just looking 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
00:35:40salute in there
00:35:42that whole
00:35:42fucking
00:35:43I love you
00:35:44but I'm sorry
00:35:44you know
00:35:45what I mean
00:35:45kind of thing
00:35:55this was
00:35:56the big finale
00:35:57to me and
00:35:58Becky's feud
00:35:59the ultimate
00:36:01battle
00:36:01at the end
00:36:02of our story
00:36:05I felt a lot
00:36:06of pressure
00:36:06going into this one
00:36:07because
00:36:08it was a
00:36:09no disqualification
00:36:10match
00:36:11the main event
00:36:12on the show
00:36:13was John Cena
00:36:14and Cody Rhodes
00:36:15also with a
00:36:17no disqualification
00:36:17stipulation
00:36:18how are you doing
00:36:19you look so cool
00:36:20so it was very hard
00:36:22to come up with
00:36:22some unique ideas
00:36:24I get a chain
00:36:27tighter in her mouth
00:36:28pull her
00:36:29pull her into the steps
00:36:31knock the steps
00:36:32off
00:36:33and we are using
00:36:34the box
00:36:34right there
00:36:35right there
00:36:35so maybe 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
00:36:43you 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
00:36:50you have to save that
00:36:52for the match
00:36:52otherwise you're going to
00:36:53kill the guy or girl
00:36:54before the match
00:36:55and they're not going to
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

00:41:09intercontinental
00:41:10champion
00:41:11the man
00:41:14Becky
00:41:15Lynch
00:41:19Becky Lynch has been
00:41:22the standard
00:41:22of Irish
00:41:24dominance
00:41:24for the past
00:41:2510 years

00:41:29to a young
00:41:30up and coming
00:41:31pretender
00:41:32in Lyra Valkyria
00:41:33not sure I would
00:41:34use the word
00:41:35pretender
00:41:36when it comes
00:41:37to Lyra Valkyria
00:41:39in the SummerSlam
00:41:40match
00:41:41I think I'd already
00:41:42lost the battle
00:41:42with that one
00:41:43before I went
00:41:44through the curtain
00:41:44I just didn't
00:41:46switch on
00:41:48I felt a lot
00:41:49of pressure
00:41:52I'm always able
00:41:53to live in the moment
00:41:54and for that match
00:41:55I just couldn't
00:41:57introducing the
00:41:58challenger
00:42:03Lyra Valkyria
00:42:05when I was
00:42:06making my entrance
00:42:07I was just
00:42:08thinking
00:42:09let's just get
00:42:10the bell ringing
00:42:11let's just do this
00:42:12and that's how
00:42:13I knew I was
00:42:14not in the zone
00:42:15that I needed to be
00:42:18anything that
00:42:19could have gone
00:42:19wrong
00:42:20went wrong
00:42:21Lyra now
00:42:22move right to
00:42:23the midsection
00:42:23of Becky Lynch
00:42:24one of the first
00:42:25things
00:42:25I threw Becky
00:42:26into the photographer
00:42:27Becky
00:42:28oh
00:42:29that poor
00:42:30still photo man
00:42:33she said
00:42:34sorry to him
00:42:35she's so nice
00:42:36I was like
00:42:37oh sorry
00:42:39dangerous place
00:42:40to be for anyone
00:42:41near this ringside
00:42:42area
00:42:44here come the
00:42:45reveal of the
00:42:45zip ties
00:42:46nothing
00:42:48that happened
00:42:48with the weapons
00:42:49went the way
00:42:50it was supposed to
00:42:52Becky's got a
00:42:53zip tie
00:42:53she's got a
00:42:54zip tie the
00:42:55hands together
00:42:55literally handcuffing
00:42:57Valkyria here
00:42:58perfectly legal
00:43:00Michael Cole
00:43:01guess what
00:43:01Valkyria
00:43:02this is what
00:43:03you asked for
00:43:05that was
00:43:06my idea
00:43:07I was like
00:43:08that would be a
00:43:09really cool moment
00:43:10if even though
00:43:11Becky had
00:43:12completely incapacitated
00:43:13me
00:43:13I still ended up
00:43:15beating her up
00:43:16with zip ties
00:43:18and now she's
00:43:19got Becky
00:43:19trapped in the
00:43:20waist lock
00:43:20and now
00:43:21Lyra Valkyria
00:43:22using headbutts
00:43:23what happened
00:43:24however was
00:43:25when I was
00:43:26supposed to be
00:43:27stuck in the
00:43:27zip ties
00:43:27they came off
00:43:31oh shit
00:43:34was it off
00:43:37was she out of
00:43:38those
00:43:38yeah
00:43:38she gotta just
00:43:40fucking get out
00:43:40of them
00:43:41they're loose
00:43:41then tell her
00:43:42just if they're
00:43:42off
00:43:44I'm trained
00:43:45when something
00:43:46happens that's
00:43:46not planned
00:43:47you throw the
00:43:48plan out the
00:43:48window
00:43:49and you go
00:43:50they're off
00:43:51but in the
00:43:52moment when
00:43:52they came off
00:43:53I was thinking
00:43:55what if the
00:43:56cameras didn't
00:43:57catch that
00:43:58if they missed
00:43:58that then it's
00:43:59like she was
00:44:00zip tied a second
00:44:01ago and now
00:44:01she's not
00:44:02whereas if I
00:44:03slip them back
00:44:03on and hope
00:44:04the cameras
00:44:04didn't see it
00:44:05same match
00:44:08the cameras
00:44:09did catch it
00:44:10which is another
00:44:11unfortunate thing
00:44:12from the match
00:44:32and when I was
00:44:33supposed to
00:44:33free myself
00:44:34from the zip ties
00:44:35they stayed on
00:44:38we're trying to
00:44:39use the sharp
00:44:39edge of that
00:44:39fire extinguisher
00:44:40to break the
00:44:41zip tie here
00:44:43I don't know
00:44:44why she's not
00:44:44using the ring
00:44:45like we talked
00:44:46about
00:44:48taking off
00:44:48the zip ties
00:44:49I couldn't
00:44:49get them off
00:44:50so I had to
00:44:51crawl under the
00:44:51ring and get
00:44:52someone to
00:44:52cut them
00:44:53and it was
00:44:54a nightmare
00:45:08I just didn't
00:45:09respond to
00:45:10things going

00:48:29there was no
00:48:30changing my mind
00:48:31on it so that
00:48:32was very hard
00:48:36honestly everything
00:48:37everything up to
00:48:38now has been so
00:48:38amazing but uh
00:48:39you know when
00:48:40you this is
00:48:42everything like
00:48:43this is everything
00:48:44so uh when it
00:48:45when it doesn't
00:48:47when you don't
00:48:47feel the magic
00:48:48or whatever
00:48:49this is the
00:48:50first time i've
00:48:50felt this way
00:48:51so uh
00:48:53i want me to be
00:48:55real that's as
00:48:55real as i can
00:48:56can be right
00:48:57now
00:49:02sometimes just
00:49:03anything that can
00:49:04go wrong does go
00:49:05wrong especially
00:49:05when you're you
00:49:07know using weapons
00:49:08and stuff and you
00:49:10got one take and
00:49:11all this it's it's

00:49:30everyone at some
00:49:31point and the
00:49:32only way you can
00:49:32really judge a
00:49:33talent is on
00:49:34what they do
