03:04the
03:06this is just so cool honestly
03:09the
03:14one of the great things about being on on this side now is i really can lean into moments like
03:21the one
03:21you just allowed me to be part of because i know there's nobody coming down to kick my teeth in
03:26So thank you so much.
03:28Truly, thank you.
03:47A sold-out house full of gratitude and energy, and man, I love to hear it.
03:56It's moments like this that have had me thinking ever since my last match, what will be the
04:01next phase of my WWE career?
04:11I expected this.
04:26You don't know how good that makes me feel.
04:29And I think a lot.
04:30Honestly, I think a lot about that last match.
04:33I think a lot about that last evening.
04:42I hear you.
04:43There were some people who were upset.
04:45I, for one, I was truly happy.
04:49Honestly, I reflect a lot on that evening, and I couldn't be more happy, because what
04:53was most important to me about that night is we all made it something bigger.
04:59If you look at the night, in its entirety, it became an evening of opportunity.
05:04I made sure whoever my opponent was, they had to win their way in to earn the spot.
05:10I kindly asked WWE superstars if they would be gracious enough to give opportunity, which
05:18they willingly did, to NXT superstars so they could be in front of a crowd like this and
05:24show the world what they got.
05:28And think about it.
05:30Think about it.
05:30On that night, on that grand stage, for the first time, we saw Sol Ruka.
05:39We saw Javon Evans.
05:44Yo.
05:46We saw Oba Femi.
06:05Oba, I hope you're listening.
06:07I hope you're listening, because this is what the energy sounds like.
06:11Oba Femi debuts in December, and four months later, he is strutting.
06:20And kicking Brock Lesnar's ass at WrestleMania.
06:28So then it hit me.
06:29I was like, damn, we got to do this again.
06:35So we are.
06:38I am so honored tonight to announce to you the John Cena Classic.
06:48An entire evening of the best of today competing with the best of tomorrow.
06:55An entire event where WWE superstars and NXT superstars get an opportunity to give you all they
07:04have in hopes to be crowned a champion.
07:10That's right.
07:11We are making history here tonight because we have a brand new event and the debut of a
07:18brand new championship in the WWE.
07:27And not just any championship.
07:30This is an event.
07:31And this is a championship I am personally putting my name on.
07:38So I am going to strive for a certain level of excellence.
07:44And I'm also going to do everything I can to make it special.
07:49I have said time and time again, the biggest superstar in the WWE is the WWE universe.
08:04So on top of a new event, on top of a new championship, for the first time in history, your
08:12voice will be heard louder than ever before.
08:16Because you, the audience, the fan, will vote to crown the champion of the John Cena Classic.
08:33And every participant qualifies, which also means for the first time in history, a superstar might not win their match,
08:45but their hustle could earn your respect, win your heart, win your vote.
08:51And you can still crown them the John Cena Classic champion.
09:01This is a single event that embodies everything I stand for and everything I value.
09:07And I cannot stress to you how important it is to me.
09:10I promise to give you everything I have to make this an experience that goes beyond just one.
09:17I don't want to do this for just one year.
09:19I want to do it for two years, five years, ten years, thirty years.
09:24The sky is the limit on this one.
09:28I want to take one second to thank the superstars like Obafemi that busted their ass on that Saturday to
09:36make this crazy idea a reality.
09:40Hell, let him hear you. He's watching.
09:42Let him hear you.
09:56I wanted to take a second to thank the WWE for being gracious enough to take a chance on this
10:02crazy idea.
10:03Man, I hope it works.
10:05I want to thank everybody watching at home.
10:08Most importantly, I want to thank the city of Tampa Bay.
10:15There's a lot of you folks in this crowd tonight that know this city means a lot to me for
10:20a whole lot of reasons.
10:24And you can add this one to the list.
10:28Thank you so much for your attention.
10:30Thank you so much for your time.
10:33Thank you for your enthusiasm.
10:35Thank you for your energy.
10:36Thank you for the noise!
10:45It does sound like you're ready.
10:47I will see you at the John Cena Classic.
10:53And now, it's time for your main event!
11:03Ladies and gentlemen, what an opportunity laid out tonight by none other than John Cena.
11:17And, Wade, what an announcement from the ultimate top dog.
11:20Yes, indeed. Couldn't agree more.
11:22But you know what makes me feel like I got that dog in me, Michael Cole?
11:26What is that?
11:27A nice can of mug root beer.
11:31Has he been here all night?
11:36Wait a minute.
11:37You're supposed to guzzle it.
11:38Found it?
11:40All right.
11:40Here we go.

12:06Sorry that Wubbles do that to me.
12:08Ooh.
12:09My bladder in the main event is going to struggle.
12:11Coming up next in our main event, the OTC Roman Reigns takes on his cousin,
12:17Jacob Fatu.
12:18It is for the World Heavyweight Championship, and it is next.
12:29The first ever premium live event to be held in Italy.
12:34High stakes.
12:36High pressure.
12:37This is what we call must-see.
12:52You know, it is the next time we come your way on the ESPN app for Clash in Italy.
12:58It is three weeks from tomorrow where history will be made in Turin.
13:05All right now, let's check in with our post-show panel.
13:08Jackie, Corey, and Big E.
13:10Yeah, Cole, thank you so much.
13:12Immediately following tonight's main event, we will have all the instant reaction and analysis
13:17you can handle from tonight's event.

13:26We will see Dan Housen, also victorious tonight.
13:29He will join the show live on the panel.
13:31Maybe Minnie Housen as well.
13:33I have no idea what to expect.
13:35You never know when it comes to the post-show.
13:36But, of course, we still have tonight's main event in front of us,
13:40and it is one that could change the landscape of WWE as we know it.
13:46There is history.
13:47There is family ties.
13:48It is Roman Reigns versus Jacob Batu.
13:59The Tribal Chief is back at the head of the table.
14:08I miss this.
14:11I'm not asking you to serve me.
14:14I'm just asking you to be my blood and stand with me.
14:19There can only be a couple reasons you would come out here to acknowledge me.
14:25Nah, that ain't it.
14:27Before WWE, you didn't call me.
14:30Jimmy didn't call me.
14:32Jay didn't call me.
14:33So when y'all was up here running the bloodline,
14:36I was broke, grinding.
14:40I need that title.
14:44Maybe you can beat me, Jacob.
14:46But I'm not sure you're ready.
14:50Little cousin.
14:51You don't deserve it.
14:54You haven't earned it.
14:57Allowing you to compete against me, that's nepotism.
15:00I can't do this.
15:05The target death threat
15:06is going to take
15:10everything
15:13from you.
15:16He's dangerous, O.
15:18Even if I gotta run
15:20through my own blood.
15:23I am desperate.
15:25So I have no other choice
15:27but to take you out.
15:30Take this title
15:31and everything
15:34that the Tribal Chief has.
15:37the Tongan death threat.
15:40You don't do that to family.
15:42You don't do that
15:43to your Tribal Chief.
15:45In our family,
15:47we're equals.
15:48We're of the same blood.
15:50But in this ring, Jacob,
15:52you're beneath me.
16:03The Tribal Chief is fading.
16:10Even if I gotta go
16:13through you.
16:16I need
16:18that title.
16:44The Tribal Chief
16:52is a
17:06Ladies and gentlemen, there is significance to the lay
17:09that is around the neck of Jacob Fartu tonight.
17:12It was put together, it was made by the daughter of Haku.
17:18Haku is the uncle of Jacob Fartu,
17:21the man who invented the famed Tongan Death Grip.
17:25It is a rare move, it's normally not used.
17:29Jacob Fartu has revitalized it,
17:31but he committed a sin in the eyes of Roman Reigns and the family.
17:35You never use the Tongan Death Grip against a family member.
17:39Yeah, I don't agree with that philosophy whatsoever.
17:42Yeah, you can use all your moves against me,
17:44except for that one that hurts the most and that I can't get out of.
17:49Well, that's like Jacob Fartu saying to Roman Reigns,
17:52Hey, you're not allowed to scare me.
17:54You're not allowed to use a Superman punch against me.
17:57Doesn't work for me.
17:58Not when the World Heavyweight Championship is on the line.
18:01The Tongan Death Grip is a devastating nerve hold.
18:03You grab the Adam Zappa.
18:05You cut the wind off to your opponent and cause them to pass out.
18:09Roman Reigns has felt that move the past couple of weeks on Monday Night Raw.
18:13If Jacob Fartu locks it in tonight, we could have a new world champion.
22:32And tonight marks the first match in Jacob Matu's career for a world championship, a title that Roman Reigns once
22:44held for nearly four years.
22:54Let's head up to the great Alicia Taylor.
23:02The following contest is scheduled for one ball.
23:07And he's for the world heavyweight championship.
23:19Introducing the challenger.
23:50from Sacramento,
23:53he is the world heavyweight champion.
24:09He in the O-T-T-E, Roman Reigns.
24:23Jacob Batu has explained why he is bitter toward his cousin.
24:56For the years,
24:58Roman Reigns, Roman Reigns, Roman Reigns faces a very dangerous, a very disturbed, and an unhinged competitor who, as he
25:19glances way down at the world heavyweight championship, has said he needs this title.
25:24He doesn't want it.
25:25He doesn't want it. He needs it for his family.
25:37It's in part because Roman Reigns,
25:40because Roman Reigns never invited him into the fray here as part of the bloodline, that is a hunger that
25:46will live with you forever.
25:47It doesn't matter how many times Jacob Batu feasts, he will always fight hungry, and he's fighting hungry tonight.
25:58And I gotta tell you right now, I seriously question that Roman Reigns didn't think that Jacob Batu had earned
26:05that invite.
26:06For me, he just knew that Jacob Batu was the only family member he could not control.
26:12Jacob Batu makes his own rules.
26:15Jacob Batu forced Roman's hand, and the Tongan geth grip forcing Roman Reigns to take this match up and off
26:23the shoulder tackle.
26:24Batu right back up to his feet.
26:28Roman is questioned whether Jacob Batu is up for the responsibility of being champion.
26:35That's just mind games from Roman Reigns if you ask me.
26:38Clearly, Jacob Batu is more than capable of beating anybody in WWE, and Roman knows it.
26:46Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman!
26:56Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman!

27:22Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman
27:24to have a chance to win the title and there's a shoulder tackle shocking reigns a bit jacob
27:30fatu all gas no brakes that's how he lives his life lift wrong now by reigns roman with
27:35a clothesline and jacob still on his feet very hungry jacob fought two and when you're hungry
27:44wade you're dangerous hungry motivated and as terrifying and unhinged a force as we have seen
27:51in many years in this industry roman reigns dumping right to our announce table here
27:55and jacob fought two now gonna fly with a suicide dive and now the target death grip
28:01jacob fought to his eyes rolling back at his head driving roman now into the post with that death
28:07grip again applied oh what a shock this will be he's fading trying to suck the life out of roman
28:12reigns in the early part of this matchup and that was a little warning wade that was a warning shot
28:17across the bow for jacob fatu that's the master key for defeating roman reigns and it is the right
28:23hand of jacob fatu luckily for reigns that was applied outside the ring by the time he got back
28:29in the ring but immediately on the offense yeah got a little bit overzealous there and roman reigns
28:34able to take control you can see how devastating that move is roman knows it looks like he's going
28:40for that hand well you have to right you got to take it out of the equation damage the hand
28:44you can't
28:45by the death grip and again roman reigns trying to punish fatu here will take away the biggest
28:50and right into the steel post that could be a shattered metacarpal right off the back
28:55roman reigns looking on as jacob fatu grabs his hand roman continues the attack and again
29:02you had no way roman reigns is going to have some sort of way to counter the kongan death grip
29:08well you
29:09know full well roman is as smart as they come and he's shown it off in the early goings here
29:21it is loud in tampa fifteen thousand two fifteen on hand sold out this is our main event for the
29:27world heavyweight title roman reigns a seven-time world champion jacob fatu in his first ever wwe
29:34world championship match let me ask you this kore if jacob fatu does somehow win the world heavyweight
29:41championship who is the real chief of the samoan dynasty well i mean jacob fatu has a claim right
29:49well you have to be how can you be the chief of the entire family if a family member is
29:54better than
29:55you in that ring yeah but what if i don't think it holds up what if jacob loses will he
29:59acknowledge the
30:00tribal chief i mean i can't imagine jacob fatu acknowledging anybody but that is what roman
30:05reigns is demanding you know jacob fatu falling in line though i don't see it
30:12something has to give though
30:15these two have been in the ring together before but in tag team action
30:19first time ever tonight one-on-one as roman reigns now looks to punish jacob fatu who just grabs the
30:25arm of roman and neutralizes the champion and fatu with a wicked short clothesline jacob fatu is
30:33just made of stone immediately checking it on that right hand thoughts whirring through the mind
30:41of the werewolf hey ask drew mcintyre what fatu is all about that unsanctioned match at wrestlemania
30:46we haven't seen drew since i've been texting drew about zero replies you know what who knows what state
30:51mcintyre is currently in mentally and physically after that matchup you're used to that and fatu now
30:57dragging roman back to his feet trying to take control the world champion roman driven shoulder
31:04first to the post and jacob fatu suddenly has taken over
31:10and there's been modus operandum for jacob fatu since arriving in wwe you think roman saw this coming
31:20i think he absolutely knew this was coming this is why he wanted jacob fatu nowhere near wwe jacob's
31:27got to be careful now he's playing to the crowd he's got the champ in trouble he's got to get
31:31his
31:31focus back on roman just imagine how high there you go perfect point there jacob fatu roman reigns
31:38was waiting he was waiting for jacob to make that mistake and here comes the world champ all the
31:43physical gifts in the world for fatu but there's no cheating experience at the top and when it comes to
31:48experience at the top pacing yourself points timing nobody beats roman reigns roman into the quarter again
31:59and jacob fatu goes down off the big boots
32:04and this is where confidence may start ebbing away from jacob fatu roman knows what he's doing
32:11here and here we go locked and loaded roman reigns superman punch into the cover for the retention and
32:19jacob kicks out at one and right back to his feet roman can't believe it
32:29roman looks like he's seen a ghost what a whack job
32:44and roman now blocks by fatu jacob fatu with another right hand
32:52roman sent across the ring telegraphed by jacob and that kick just fired him up even more
32:57just everything is bouncing off the samoan werewolf off the running senton to roman reigns normal rules of
33:05physicality don't apply inside that ring when fatu is present he reminds me a lot of the late great
33:12umaga quadu now taking the fight to the world champion
33:27and speaking of umaga
33:39what a frightening sight and now you know why so many people have called in favor and jacob
33:44punch again by roman collapses into the cover is it enough this time this time two and a half
33:50referee sean bennett right there make no mistake that was a burst of speed and energy from roman reigns but
33:56roman is hurting in a big way just went fatu with a head of steam catching in cold
34:02but praying for a victory was roman reigns but both men now in a heap it has been an amazing
34:09night an
34:10electric night today in tampa wwe backlash sold out 15 000 215 in the house for our main event roman
34:20jacob for the world title what an opportunity for jacob fatu this is roman just processing
34:28information as the match continues where are my strengths lying now where are my weaknesses what
34:33about my opponents how do i beat this guy roman reigns now there's the drive by classic reigns the
34:41back of the head of jacob fatu catching those steel steps it's like a double whammy there and roman's
34:47got some ideas here gotta look to like the look at roman reigns eyes as he now tears apart our
34:52announce
34:52table here at ringside this is where things turn really ugly in a hurry and with these kind of
34:59competitive oh god oh no jacob fatu tongue and death grips in jacob with a tongue and death grip
35:05locked in on roman reigns who may be fading here jacob with roman up top and a power ball through
35:13the table
35:14to roman reigns
35:18and jacob's got to get the champ back in the ring wade he's got to get the champ back in
35:23the ring
35:24is jacob fatu locked in on winning this match or is he getting carried away with physical
35:30destruction here well he's got to destroy roman to win the damn match at a count of seven now
35:35into the ring jacob fatu's got a chance jacob fatu with a massive opportunity here
35:47roman reigns trying to drag himself somehow up in the corner as jacob fatu waits for an attack
35:54spare spare by reigns cover jacob kicked out
36:04well what a roll of the dice from roman reigns this desperation spear connecting flush should be the
36:12engine net not when you're in there with the world roman reigns learning a lot about his cousin tonight
36:19as is the 15 000 plus here in tampa the millions watching around the world
36:24world world heavyweight championship at stake reigns in fatu
36:38and that spear knocked the wind out of fatu and then the unbelievable kick out by the samoan werewolf
36:47right after roman reigns have been powerbombed through our announce table that's why roman is
36:55who he is bouncing back from that roman trying to feed off the wwe fans here tonight
37:02reigns has walked this path of maximum threat more than anyone usually surviving
37:10yeah but can jacob fatu survive after the spear fatu dragging himself up in the corner roman reigns
37:17with the roar jacob fatu pop on samoa drop dragging roman reigns into position here comes fatu mighty
37:27moonsault he connects look at that will we have a new champion here the cover up on the leg
37:33roman kicks out at two and a half you gotta be kidding me oh my god keeping the championship reign
37:40intact keeping his position at the head of the family intact unfathomable explosive strength
37:48and timing but fatu followed up by this double jump mighty moonsault what a landing it was but here's
37:57the question way but to hit roman with everything and roman still kicked out and now five two's losing
38:02on his the headbutt being delivered to the champion yeah this is where fatu can be his own worst enemy
38:08you've got to stay in control now you have a massive upper hand you have one hand on the world
38:14heavyweight
38:15championship finish the job fatu now mounting the champion delivering right hands family ties be damned tonight
38:25forget about family be a cold violent warmonger in that ring it is worth it
38:32jacob understands and realizes what winning the championship means to his life to the life of
38:38his family everything changes in a split second when that happens it's security for you and your family
38:44for the rest of your days and fatu now gonna climb up to the top rope yet again roman prone
38:53and he got
38:53the knees up went for a swamp time roman reigns got the knees up and roman may have done damage
38:58well fatu
38:58got distracted by people in the crowd yelling at him and her feet may have been enough for roman to
39:04get a
39:04knee up but how bad is that right knee of roman reigns and again it was the second time tonight
39:09fatu got
39:09caught taunting with the crowd and allowed roman to capitalize but again to your point roman's knees
39:15are hurting well think about the adrenaline inside both these competitors but roman reigns knows how
39:20to control channel that adrenaline it's a main event championship on the line against arguably the best

41:13And those eyes have turned into deep black paint on Roman Reigns.
41:18Oh, God.
41:19Roman may be out.
41:19Oh, no.
41:20Roman Reigns may be out.
41:22It may be Jacob Batu's moment here.
41:24Roman Reigns said no way.
41:26One last gasp for the champ.
41:29Tapping into that something extra that puts guys like Roman above and beyond everyone.
41:35And a referee just got squashed in the corner.
41:39A bit of right to the eyes of Jacob Batu.
41:41Perhaps inadvertently in the process.
41:43But it does the job.
41:44And a Superman punch.
41:45Batu still on his feet.
41:47Roman Reigns with another one.
41:50Batu still on his feet.
41:52What does Roman have to do to put Batu down?
41:55Maybe miss an impossible call.
41:57Big kick.
41:59Oh, and a Superman punch off the pop-up.
42:02Spear by Reigns.
42:04Cover.
42:05One, two, three.
42:07Oh.
42:08Oh, kick out at two and a half.
42:11Oh.
42:12Now Roman can't believe it.
42:14Way more than two and a half call.
42:17My God.
42:17I thought that was it.
42:19The pop-up.
42:20A great reaction Superman punch followed by a flushed spear.
42:25And somehow a kick out.
42:27And damn, that one was close.
42:30It is loud tonight in Tampa.
42:33A World Heavyweight Championship match that is not disappointed.
42:37Loud in Tampa, but you need calm in the mind if you're a competitor at this point.
42:42And the calm is disappearing.
42:45And now again, Jacob Batu with a cock and death grip locked in once again on the champion.
42:50Roman Bowling got the referee dropped his belt.
42:53And now Roman grabbed it at the official shot and fanned it again.
42:56Roman now to the corner.
42:57And the turnbuckle ripped off.
42:59The turnbuckle pad taken off.
43:02The turnbuckle now.
43:02It's exposed.
43:04And Jacob Batu.
43:05Head first into the turnbuckle spear by Reigns.
43:08Covered out by Roman Reigns.
43:11Roman retains the title.
43:14Here is your winner and still the World Heavyweight Champion, the OTC, Roman Reigns.
43:31Wade, the champion Roman Reigns survived.
43:35I have no clue how Roman just won that matchup with the life getting squeezed out of his jugular.
43:44By Jacob Batu.
43:45I mean, you tell me who looks like the winner here.
43:47Roman Reigns is spanked.
43:49Well, desperately Reigns grabbed the turnbuckle, which exposed the steal.
43:53And it won't rain to capitalize it.
43:55Now Jacob Batu.
43:56Jacob Batu now is enraged.
43:59Jacob's completely lost it.
44:01We said he's unhinged.
44:02Get out of there, Bennett.
44:03Got to do you any good being in the ring.
44:05Get out of there.
44:06No talking sense to the Samoan werewolf.
44:09And now the congen death grip again on Roman Reigns.
44:12Roman defenseless here.
44:14He barely survived this match.
44:15The official trying to get Jacob off the champion.
44:23Oh, no.
44:25Come on, now.
44:28I mean, the disappointment for Batu just too much.
44:32Unfathomable in his mind that he was not going to win here tonight.
44:36Well, Jacob, Jacob Batu, he called his shot.
44:39He stepped up.
44:40And you come at the king, you better not miss.
44:42And that's what Jacob did tonight.
44:44And now Jacob Batu wiped out officials out here.
44:47Our general manager, Adam Pearce from Monday Night Raw, out here as well.
44:50Well, this is why so many people didn't want Batu in WWE.
44:54He cannot be in control.
44:56Oh, he's unhinged.
44:57He's an absolute menace.
44:59Back into the tongue of death grip on Roman Reigns.
45:02A devil has been awoken here tonight.
45:05Jacob Batu is just not completely thorough in that ring.
45:10Oh, look at Roman.
45:12Roman foaming at the mouth.
45:13His airways are cut off.
45:15They've got to get Batu off him before some serious damage is done to the tribal chief here.
45:22I told him.
45:24I told him.
45:27I told him.
45:32This is the Jacob Batu, Wade, we were all warned about.
45:37This is the Samoan werewolf.
45:39This is the unhinged version of the man.
45:42And he was pushed to this tonight.
45:45This is the version of the Samoan werewolf we've all been terrified of seeing.
45:51This is the version of Jacob Batu that Roman Reigns wanted to keep far, far away from his family.
46:00And that sight on your screen right now is the reason why.
46:06Roman survived it by the skin of his teeth.
46:09Jacob Batu is back.
46:10Batu's back.
46:11And again, back for the tongue and death grip on the champion.
46:15Call the cops.
46:16Get somebody out here.
46:17Handcuff this guy.
46:18Well, we need to have a splash or something.
46:21He is unrelenting here.
46:23You got a half a dozen men in there that can't fly Batu away from the champion.
46:36What could have been for Jacob Batu, but perhaps his pursuit of the championship isn't over.
46:47I love you.
