00:00:11Summerslam.
00:00:13Summerslam.
00:00:17Does Seth have a match two weeks out?
00:00:22Whatever it is, can blow his knee out.
00:00:26Like, bullshit blows knee out, but we shoot with it like it's legit.
00:00:31Don't tell anybody, you know what I mean?
00:00:34Do the whole shebang.
00:00:36He's on crutches for a couple of weeks.
00:00:38He's got his, like, brace on, and, you know, Summerslam here comes Seth Rollins,
00:00:43throws his crutches, runs down the ring, smashes him, cashes it in,
00:00:47and fucking takes the title.
00:00:48Walks out of there as the champ.
00:00:50Yeah.
00:00:52He'd be such an asshole, too, because he'd probably hobble out for two,
00:00:55four seconds, and then just be like,
00:00:58fucking run out, and then go running down that whole thing.
00:01:02This would be one of those ones where I wouldn't want to fucking tell anybody.
00:01:05Nope.
00:01:06Yeah.
00:01:07If we're gonna do this, we gotta keep it, like, literally this team.
00:01:11Don't put that in the notes.
00:01:14And if we could sell it, like, legitimately like he was fucking hurt and out of Summerslam,
00:01:19you might have some people who, I don't know, this might be a work or something.
00:01:25What is a work?
00:01:26Yeah.
00:01:27Uh, this point I would like to invoke my Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
00:01:35Son of a lawyer, you know.
00:01:44Sorry to disappoint everyone, but I'm not a fan of this show.
00:01:52I grew up in an era where you defended the secrecy of this business.
00:01:58To the point where, if you didn't, you were beaten up and ostracized from the business.
00:02:07It's jarring to someone who grew up in the industry where secrecy was a matter of life and death of
00:02:16your career.
00:02:19I think this show is gonna flow a whole lot better if you simply just depose me.
00:02:27I'll treat this like a deposition.
00:02:30Ask me your questions.
00:02:31I'll tell you no lies.
00:02:34How important is a work in wrestling?
00:02:41How important is a work in wrestling?
00:02:44What?
00:02:45Look at that!
00:02:46Look at that!
00:02:47That's America!
00:02:48Kevin Nash lives!
00:02:51Khali will crush his skull.
00:02:54Oh, no.
00:02:55Oh, my God.
00:02:55No!
00:02:56The work in wrestling, a lot less important today than it used to be, except at a very top level.
00:03:10We had a very famous moment where Tommy Dreamer was in a match against the Sandman.
00:03:15And the Sandman lit his cigarette.
00:03:19And Tommy Dreamer hit the Sandman's hand and a cigarette went into the Sandman's eye.
00:03:24And Tommy Dreamer took the Singapore team and cracked the Sandman in the other eye and the Sandman went down.
00:03:37And for five weeks on television, we were telling you that the Sandman was blind.
00:03:45Stay awake, Hack.
00:03:46You gotta stay awake.
00:03:47Come on!
00:03:48Come on!
00:03:48You gotta shoot him!
00:03:49Come on!
00:03:50You gotta shoot him!
00:03:50Get the camera all the way out of here!
00:03:51For five weeks, he never left his house.
00:03:57He didn't take his kids to school.
00:03:59He didn't go grocery shopping.
00:04:03And we brought him back for his retirement ceremony.
00:04:06It was a very sad moment.
00:04:08The Sandman has already announced his retirement after being blinded.
00:04:13The Sandman peeled off the bandages from his eyes, revealing that he wasn't truly blind.
00:04:20What was this?
00:04:22He can see!
00:04:25He can see!
00:04:26He can see!
00:04:28He can see!
00:04:28He can see!
00:04:2931 years later, people still talk about that.
00:04:34Are you kidding me?
00:04:37Now you tell me, was that a work?
00:04:42Or was it just performance art in which the performance art was protected,
00:04:48so that you were more emotionally involved in the moment when he revealed that he wasn't blind?
00:04:58That's how we earn our living.
00:05:10For a lot of business reasons, events are coming faster and more furiously than they have ever come before.
00:05:18You end up with a weekend like we're at, Saturday Night's Main Event, and Evolution.
00:05:23And oh, by the way, they're only three weeks out from SummerSlam.
00:05:27It's incredibly challenging.
00:05:29This weekend, we're also trying to do business with a guy like Jelly Roll.
00:05:36My name is Jason D. Ford, and my mama gave me the name Jelly Roll as well.
00:05:43I was a chunky kid, as you could imagine, like a super fat kid, and I loved donuts.
00:05:48And instead of calling me Jelly Donuts, she called me her little Jelly Roll, and it just stuck.
00:05:52I always thank my mama.
00:05:54She might have called me Slim Jim.
00:05:55I might have had a six pack.
00:05:56I spent my whole life trying to live up to my name.
00:05:59I am 40 years old, and my normal profession is I'm a musician.
00:06:07I don't know where you're at in your life or what you're going through, but I want to tell you
00:06:16to keep going, baby.
00:06:18I want to tell you success is on the other side of it.
00:06:20I want to tell you it's going to be okay.
00:06:23Let's party, Nashville!
00:06:26I'm not a wrestler for those just tuning in.
00:06:30I watched all these celebrities get these cool matches, so when I started doing music and people started noticing me,
00:06:36it was like always kind of my North Star.
00:06:38I was like, I wonder if I'll get famous enough that I'll actually get involved to be in one of
00:06:42these wrestling matches as a celebrity.
00:06:46Boom! Boom shakalaka!
00:06:48A lot of times we're approached by folks not in the business and celebrities that think this might be fun.
00:06:56It is fun. You have to be able to do it.
00:07:01It was Monday Night Raw in Nashville, 2023.
00:07:07And Randy Orton's there.
00:07:10And it was super, super cool.
00:07:12And that was the first time I was like, dude, I'm famous enough.
00:07:14They let me get involved.
00:07:15So it was really cool.
00:07:17The CMN award winner just dumped Dominic.
00:07:20All I got to do was push Dominic Mysterio, but I wasn't physically able to do much more.
00:07:26SummerSlam 2024.
00:07:27When I'm getting up from doing the five knuckle shuffle, I'm hanging on to a rope and R-True's got
00:07:33one arm and Miz has got another arm.
00:07:35And at that moment I realized I was so big that it took two grown men to get me to
00:07:40stand up.
00:07:43I knew that if I didn't do something, it was going to kill me.
00:07:47And I just remember leaving there and being like, I will be back next summer a different fucking human.
00:07:59I just kind of shot my shot and I was like, hey, Triple H, I'm losing this weight, man.
00:08:03Like, what's up?
00:08:04You know what I mean?
00:08:05Like, I'm dead serious about this.
00:08:07Training for SummerSlam.
00:08:09We're going to see how much we weigh today.
00:08:14Will it stay on there when I get off?
00:08:15Because I can't even see it.
00:08:16I'm so fat and close to it.
00:08:21327 pounds, baby.
00:08:22300 pounds.
00:08:24We're going to walk to that ring that night.
00:08:26Under 300 pounds for the first time since I was probably 14 years old.
00:08:31That exact number, around 330 pounds, was the exact time I jumped off the horse last time I tried to
00:08:38lose the weight.
00:08:40On a selfish level, I need this.
00:08:42This might motivate me to push me past that number I've never seen before on the scale.
00:08:47Jelly Roll approached us.
00:08:49He fought to be a part of SummerSlam.
00:08:53Then Jelly Roll moved, got a house, got two houses actually, in Orlando.
00:08:58One for him and then one for his crew.
00:09:01So that when he finished working out, he went and wrote songs at night.
00:09:06Because that's his job.
00:09:09Walking in that first day and looking at Matt Bloom like, my bubba, I'm not even a good piece of
00:09:16clay here.
00:09:18I have never done a flip, ever.
00:09:32Every day, it scared me.
00:09:36My fear in wrestling was, had I bit off more than I could chew, was I physically going to be
00:09:44able to do it?
00:09:47You can imagine my first week, my body was going, no, you're not, you're not, there's no way you're going
00:09:52to be ready for this.
00:09:54But that same dog that came out of me that was determined to make it as a songwriter, started coming
00:10:00out of me in there.
00:10:01Got a lot to learn.
00:10:04From 11 to 2 o'clock every day, I'd let Coach Matt Bloom, Coach Moss, Coach Brookside beat me to
00:10:09death.
00:10:11Let this fella go.
00:10:12Let him go.
00:10:13Wednesday Jelly, we're going to work on selling.
00:10:16You getting your ass kicked.
00:10:26I've never been through something that was more grueling that I cannot wait to get back to doing.
00:10:31Dude, I'm going to fucking have a SummerSlam match.
00:10:34It's going to be the coolest thing ever.
00:10:35Where's the fucking rest of the ass?
00:10:37You skinny motherfucker.
00:10:39What are you weighing?
00:10:40What are you weighing?
00:10:41Right at three months.
00:10:42Yeah?
00:10:43First time since middle school.
00:10:44Fuck.
00:10:45First time since middle school.
00:10:47Yeah, what's your spine feel like?
00:10:49God, I can feel it.
00:10:50Right?
00:10:50I know where it's at.
00:10:51My ass crack went down a little bit.
00:10:53Oh my gosh.
00:10:54I'm proud of you, man.
00:10:56Fuck.
00:10:56It's fucking inspiring.
00:10:58Makes me want to go to the gym right fucking now.
00:11:02I'll tell you what.
00:11:03Did you watch any of the video?
00:11:04I did.
00:11:05He's a better shit.
00:11:06He's a good dude.
00:11:07He ain't fucking bad.
00:11:08He ain't bad.
00:11:09Yeah.
00:11:10That was...
00:11:11Second time in the ring.
00:11:12Yeah, but I mean like literally they worked out for like an hour or two and then he did like
00:11:17first five minutes of a match.
00:11:19Yeah.
00:11:20It was pretty good.
00:11:22It's like he was bouncing around the other day like in between shit and he was like throwing jabs and
00:11:26I was like, this motherfucker's dusty.
00:11:28Like he's like a sloppier version of dusty.
00:11:32He would get up.
00:11:33He'd get knocked down or whatever and he'd get up and do the like dance around bounce around shit.
00:11:37And I thought, God damn.
00:11:39There could be something there.
00:11:42And in looking at different people to team with jelly roll, you've got to have a leader.
00:11:47You've got to have someone that can control everybody and everything.
00:11:53Randy Orton was perfect for a tag team partner.
00:11:55When you look at assholes to beat up, you got Drew McIntyre.
00:11:59That's an easy one.
00:12:00And then Logan Paul.
00:12:01It really fell together very well.
00:12:14I'll be a lot more ready in three weeks.
00:12:16I'm sore.
00:12:17I'm still sore.
00:12:17The first hell, I'm still sore.
00:12:19Cold, I'm a weekend.
00:12:19I'm sore now.
00:12:20Shoulder hurts.
00:12:21Neck hurts.
00:12:22I'm bruised everywhere.
00:12:25Once we get cameras out here and everything jelly, we'll go over tonight.
00:12:30When he comes face to face with you, he'll throw the punch.
00:12:33You block it.
00:12:35Lay his ass out.
00:12:37Now you go back to Randy and we'll do the Claymore.
00:12:40Does that make sense?
00:12:42You feel good about everything, sir?
00:12:43Yes, sir.
00:12:44The truth is in this business, one of the hardest things to do is make everybody lose that sense of
00:12:53scripted or unscripted.
00:12:55If we can make people believe that Seth is injured, there's a really cool payoff at the end.
00:13:02There wasn't very many people in on it that knew about it, very much like the John Cena Elimination Chamber
00:13:08situation.
00:13:10For this to work to perfection, that circle of people that were in the know had to be very small.
00:13:15Okay.
00:13:16I want to smarten you up to something that nobody knows.
00:13:19Okay.
00:13:20Um, so we're, and, but I want you to not repeat it to anybody, but you're our guy.
00:13:29You need to know what's going on here.
00:13:31Okay.
00:13:33We're going to do an angle tonight where Seth closes Neo in this match of L.A. night.
00:13:37Okay.
00:13:38Paul.
00:13:40We're going to, we're going to do this now because they got to steal L.A.
00:13:43You guys.
00:13:43We're kayfaving this like a motherfucker.
00:13:45So I don't want you to mention it to anybody because everybody will feel like, well, Connor told everybody.
00:13:49And now, you know, got out.
00:13:51The only people that really know me, Bruce, Ed, Bobby Roode.
00:13:55Seth, L.A.
00:13:56Um, Heyman knows because he was there when I came up with it.
00:13:59Yeah.
00:13:59Right now.
00:14:00That's it.
00:14:01I don't know what move they're going to do yet, but it'll do something towards the end of the match
00:14:04where he blows his knee out.
00:14:06And L.A. sets up for the next thing.
00:14:08But like Seth ain't there.
00:14:09He's not coming.
00:14:10He's down.
00:14:10He goes to Jess.
00:14:11Jess gives the X.
00:14:13Medical comes out legit.
00:14:15Goes to him.
00:14:16Wow.
00:14:17He'll call an audible.
00:14:18Yeah.
00:14:19Which Jess will go tell L.A. night.
00:14:21Did the referee need to know?
00:14:22No.
00:14:24Her responsibility is report if somebody is injured or not injured.
00:14:28Did medical need to know?
00:14:30Yes.
00:14:31Because I can't let them believe an injury is real.
00:14:34If they believe an injury is real, they have the power to shut it all down.
00:14:37A wise man once told me two people you can't lie to in life, your lawyer and your doctor.
00:14:43We'll take a BFT from L.A. night and get beat.
00:14:46L.A. night will leave.
00:14:47We'll help Seth out of the ring.
00:14:49Yeah.
00:14:50One of the few people that I couldn't in good conscience let think that this was real was
00:14:56L.A. night.
00:14:57I'm sure Seth will just say, tell him to, when I pull myself up, tell him to fucking give
00:15:02me his finish and just go over and like, whether you kick him, you give it to him or
00:15:06just he'll feed you and you just give it, you know what I mean?
00:15:09No.
00:15:09We'll figure that out.
00:15:11But Seth came to me and he said, why does L.A. night need to know?
00:15:13I don't feel like he needs to know.
00:15:14And I said, Seth, if the roles were reversed on this and I don't know what I mean.
00:15:19I didn't tell you, you would be out of your mind pissed at me because you're a professional
00:15:24and you're in the ring.
00:15:24And your first thought is make sure your opponent is safe and doesn't get hurt and all these
00:15:29things.
00:15:29And he gets hurt on your watch.
00:15:32And then you find out later it was all bullshit.
00:15:35You'd be out of your mind mad that I didn't clue you in on that.
00:15:38And he paused for a few seconds, looking at me like, fair enough.
00:15:43And he never brought it up again, right?
00:15:45He has to know.
00:15:46If you're able to like, if he just feeds you and you pull him out and you just hit
00:15:50it, as awkward as it could possibly look.
00:15:53And be very careful hooking his leg.
00:15:56But we're going to play it off as full blown legit.
00:15:59Yeah, this is going to hook him.
00:16:00So he's out.
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:01Oh, that's great.
00:16:02Awesome.
00:16:03Okay.
00:16:12I was nervous about everything.
00:16:14I was nervous about could I hurt somebody.
00:16:16What if I come in this business and for just one night into their world selfishly and I
00:16:20hurt one of these guys, you know, I didn't want nobody to get hurt on my watch.
00:16:23That was super important.
00:16:24Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:16:27Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:16:29Ba-la-la-la-la-la.
00:16:30Ba-la-la-la-la.
00:16:30Ba-la-la-la-la.
00:16:31Ba-la-la-la-la.
00:16:32He taught me how.
00:16:35All right.
00:16:37Yeah, there you go.
00:16:38The hardest part of that night was fireworks happening inside of me and me not being able
00:16:44to emote it.
00:16:45Tonight, everyone is buzzing about this spectacle.
00:16:50Saturday night's main event.
00:16:52I wrote.
00:17:00Good time.
00:17:02Nice, good, good, good.
00:17:04Okay.
00:17:05Everybody, we're good.
00:17:07Okay.
00:17:08Great.
00:17:09Great rock and roll.
00:17:12Let's do this, baby.
00:17:14I am more tears.
00:17:16I am more tears in my eyes.
00:17:16Making his literary, being accompanied by a fourth time.
00:17:19Grammy-nominated country artist, Jelly Roll, from St. Louis, Missouri, the Viper, Randy Orton!
00:17:36Tremendous history between these two.
00:17:38They know each other extremely well.
00:17:44McIntyre's dominating early.
00:17:46Logan Paul enjoying what he's seen.
00:17:48Jelly Roll, less so.
00:17:51Logan and Jelly, now.
00:17:52Here it is.
00:17:54Come on!
00:17:55You're in the wrong arena, buddy!
00:17:57And I told you that yesterday.
00:17:59And I'm going to tell you again.
00:18:01You're in the wrong arena!
00:18:02You brought me all of your time.
00:18:04Man, you're going wrong, brother!
00:18:06I'm pushing you, man!
00:18:07Logan Paul's run by Jelly Roll!
00:18:11And Randy Orton hit RKO out of nowhere by Orton!
00:18:15Here's the cover!
00:18:17Oh, you're in the wrong!
00:18:19Let's see Jelly fire up.
00:18:21Nice.
00:18:23And now, Logan Paul and Lonnie not Orton.
00:18:30And now, Logan Paul unloading on Orton.
00:18:33Jelly Roll has seen it off.
00:18:35Jelly Roll is not a fighter!
00:18:40Paul pulls the ring!
00:18:45It's Jelly Roll with a right hand!
00:18:48Jelly with a right hand!
00:18:50Jelly with a right hand!
00:18:59No!
00:19:00A Claymore by McIntyre!
00:19:05Jelly Roll is a musician.
00:19:07Stay out of the ring!
00:19:13If I were to describe Jelly Roll, he's a natural performer.
00:19:18He's someone who's performed all over the world.
00:19:22He does shows where people come just to see him.
00:19:26And you could just tell that he's a lifelong fan.
00:19:29He loves this business.
00:19:31And he's been watching because he knows what it takes to perform in that ring.
00:19:35And he just did it so well.
00:19:38Hey, Randy!
00:19:39Me?
00:19:39Ha-ha!
00:19:40Fucking Jelly!
00:19:41How'd I do, baby?
00:19:42How'd I do?
00:19:43It was awesome.
00:19:44It was fucking awesome, man.
00:19:46I was so impressed.
00:19:48He blew anyone else out of the water that's ever tried to step out of their world and step into
00:19:53ours.
00:19:56Congrats, man.
00:19:56How'd I do?
00:19:57Fucking badass.
00:19:58Am I getting over it?
00:19:58Fucking badass.
00:19:59You heard him chanting Jelly?
00:20:01I've got...
00:20:01Listen, I'm gonna go home and watch this like I did last night.
00:20:04Make notes and get better.
00:20:05Dude, you heard him?
00:20:06You heard him chanting your name?
00:20:07Yeah.
00:20:07Fucking great.
00:20:08When I heard the Jelly Roll chant, it was like, Jelly, Jelly Roll!
00:20:12That's why I love wrestling.
00:20:14Unique to the WWE universe.
00:20:16I'll never hear that again at a Jelly Roll show in my life unless God and the WWE blessed me
00:20:22to come back there.
00:20:24What a...
00:20:24For a megastar, what a down-to-earth dude.
00:20:29What's up, my brother?
00:20:30I love you so much.
00:20:31Do you see me?
00:20:32Yes.
00:20:32Are you being serious?
00:20:33It was awesome.
00:20:33Yeah, you...
00:20:34We didn't even know you were here.
00:20:36We just came to see him.
00:20:37Hey, that's good shit.
00:20:38Yeah, yeah.
00:20:39It's gotta be good, man.
00:20:41I wasn't really sure when Bruce first sat me down.
00:20:44What was that?
00:20:45I wasn't really sure when Bruce first sat me down.
00:20:49Put it this way.
00:20:50Having seen that motherfucker train, because at first I was like, I'll put him in a little something.
00:20:55It'll be a fucking big deal.
00:20:57I watched him go in and train twice.
00:20:58They sent me the video, so I was like, okay, now I'm thinking bigger.
00:21:02And I was like, he's all in, dude.
00:21:04I'm very thankful for this part.
00:21:07Let's not lose sight of the fact.
00:21:14A lot of the creative ideas that I've had in my career have been mine.
00:21:20This one I can't take full credit for.
00:21:23What I saw when this idea was presented to me was an endgame that created a moment that was special
00:21:31and memorable.
00:21:35That's really what our industry is, is a series of moments, storytelling that builds to special moments that affect our
00:21:43audience on a deep level.
00:21:48If this was a real situation, how would we all react?
00:21:52I didn't want to overreact.
00:21:53I think Triple H as well, and Bruce and Guerrilla acted as if it was real.
00:21:58There was only four people, five people, six, maybe at the most, that actually knew what the situation actually was.
00:22:05Two-time United States champion, L.A. Knight, battling the five-time world champion, Seth Rollins.
00:22:11Oh.
00:22:11Seth Rollins, and Rollins now launched outside the ring to the pool.
00:22:16That's how we keep going.
00:22:17Oh!
00:22:19We did have to make sure that we didn't get the bell rung.
00:22:21You know, in situations like that, when someone is actually hurt, typically we'll ring the bell right away.
00:22:26We had to be very, very careful that we didn't do that.
00:22:31Brian, kayfeg, just me and you, a little bit of fucking fuckery here.
00:22:37Kayfeg fuckery on the end of this thing.
00:22:40Do not let the fucking ring bell ring until the one, two, three happens.
00:22:45But I will tell you when.
00:22:48As I wrapped my head around it, I realized it was a brilliant piece of storytelling.
00:22:53But you want to protect everybody involved.
00:22:56You want to protect the company.
00:22:58You want to protect your babyfaces.
00:23:01In this case, L.A. Knight.
00:23:03Oh, and a D-range in the midsection.
00:23:06Frog splash coming.
00:23:07The visionary now, heading up to the top rope, looking to put L.A. Knight away.
00:23:11Frog splash to the injured midsection at Rance.
00:23:14Rollins for the win.
00:23:15Hook to the leg and a kick out.
00:23:19That's the fun part of what we do as performers.
00:23:21You never know.
00:23:22You never know when it's a work and when it's a shoot.
00:23:26L.A. Knight for the close line.
00:23:28And now Knight looking to rally.
00:23:33And that gray area is what makes us special as performers.
00:23:37If you can see through every single thing that we do, it becomes boring.
00:23:44L.A. Knight for the close line.
00:23:48Elbow delivered.
00:23:50Knight cover.
00:23:51One, two, three.
00:23:53And Rollins kicks it, too.
00:23:54When you get into the excitement of telling a story, you look to exhaust whatever resources you have to tell
00:24:04that story in the best possible way.
00:24:07And Rollins with a buckle bomb.
00:24:11I don't think there's any line that can't be crossed.
00:24:14It's just you got to figure out what's worth crossing.
00:24:18And now Rollins.
00:24:19Oh, there's that flying senton.
00:24:21Springboard senton by Rollins.
00:24:23And now a moonsault lands on his feet.
00:24:25They have tweaked his knee.
00:24:27It's all right.
00:24:28It's all right.
00:24:29And now L.A. Knight with an opportunity.
00:24:31It's not okay.
00:24:32Rollins into the corner.
00:24:33The official air to check on Rollins.
00:24:36Oh, no.
00:24:38Back off L.A.
00:24:39Back off L.A.
00:24:40Back off L.A.
00:24:40Tell him to give him a minute.
00:24:42Rollins tweaking his knee.
00:24:43Heyman over to check on his man.
00:24:44Let's get...
00:24:46Do we need the doc?
00:24:51He said he needs a doc.
00:24:53Fuck!
00:24:54Damn it, man.
00:24:56The ringside doctor now is over consulting with the official on the situation with Rollins.
00:25:03What's he saying, Jess?
00:25:04Is he all right?
00:25:07You hear that?
00:25:09You good with that?
00:25:10Who was that?
00:25:11He said Seth is fucked.
00:25:13He said L.A. hit his finish.
00:25:14Okay, you got to do it.
00:25:16Tell L.A., tell L.A.
00:25:18Do whatever Seth told him.
00:25:21Rollins hobbling back up into the corner.
00:25:23L.A. Knight.
00:25:23B.S. B.S.T.
00:25:25By L.A. Knight.
00:25:26This is the finish.
00:25:27Finish, finish.
00:25:28Cover now.
00:25:28Hook of the leg.
00:25:29It's up with the ring.
00:25:33Go, Larry.
00:25:36Get Doc in there.
00:25:37Get Doc in there.
00:25:37And that is a bleak sight seeing Seth freaking Rollins down and out.
00:25:43Get L.A. out.
00:25:44Tell him to sell up the ramp.
00:25:48Truly catastrophic moment here.
00:25:52Is that his bad knee?
00:25:53The knee that he's...
00:25:53I don't know.
00:25:54Just give him some room.
00:25:58Moments ago, Rollins tweaking the knee.
00:26:01It appears to be much more serious than we first thought.
00:26:08When the time comes, everything changes.
00:26:12And I think that suddenness is what alerts people to believing that it's real.
00:26:20And that's the art of it.
00:26:22Anybody that doesn't need a beer, get everybody out of here so he can get through.
00:26:27What matters this much, this much doubt, that's all we need.
00:26:35This much doubt.
00:26:37If you have that, that's where the magic happens in our business.
00:26:42That's what makes it special.
00:26:43Just that little bit of I don't know.
00:26:46Did it come off okay, Bob?
00:26:47Unbelievable.
00:26:48Just out of nowhere.
00:26:49Out of nowhere.
00:26:50Yep.
00:26:51The way they shot it, Jess is...
00:26:53Everything.
00:26:54Everything was really good.
00:26:55How did it feel out there?
00:26:57Feel legit?
00:26:58Awkward.
00:26:58Awkward, yeah.
00:26:59Yeah.
00:26:59It was supposed to feel awkward.
00:27:01It was awkward backstage, too.
00:27:02It was great.
00:27:08It was awkward as hell, but that's kind of what sold it.
00:27:11So with it being that awkward, it just kind of, you know, it probably felt flat in the moment.
00:27:16But that also allowed people to be like, oh, shit.
00:27:19Okay.
00:27:20Yeah, dude's really hurt.
00:27:21Is he spot the camera's off for just two seconds, please?
00:27:24L.A. Night played it perfectly.
00:27:27His facial expressions were on point of, oh, shit.
00:27:31No.
00:27:32You could see his confusion and you could see his, ah, shit.
00:27:38It helped fans to believe in the moment that, hmm, something real just happened.
00:27:49L.A. did great.
00:27:50Played it to a T.
00:27:51We were able to get out of that situation, making it look like it was an actual real injury.
00:27:58You know, you got cameras and shit all over you.
00:28:00Yeah.
00:28:00I'll be up your ass.
00:28:02I'll be working until I get back to the process of my father's beginning.
00:28:07All right.
00:28:08From the second I got hurt, you had speculation all over the Internet about what this was going to lead
00:28:17to, if it was real, if it was not real.
00:28:19Wow, Seth Rollins really might be answered.
00:28:22Yeah.
00:28:24There was every story under the sun.
00:28:26And so when everything was flooded, you had no idea what the truth was.
00:28:46No one really knew what was going on.
00:29:02Ready?
00:29:03Yeah.
00:29:11The most important thing about five minutes handstands, like, uh, keep my mentality.
00:29:24Of course, it's so hard.
00:29:27Five minutes handstands.
00:29:28I really think about it.
00:29:30I want to fall.
00:29:34Hey!
00:29:36But, uh, I always think about it.
00:29:38I can do it.
00:29:39I have to do it because I am the champion.
00:29:43Four, three, two, one.
00:29:53Five, six.
00:29:56My first name is Masami in real name.
00:29:59So, Masami, but nobody called me Masami, because I started wrestling since 16 years old.
00:30:07I used to use my ring name, Iyoshirai.
00:30:13Oh, my, what?
00:30:14Oh, my, what?
00:30:15Oh, my, what?
00:30:16Oh, my, what the?
00:30:18But now, my name is Iyosukai.
00:30:21Um, that's why I want to make my style.
00:30:26Like, I'm out, I'm out.
00:30:33Sky with a missile drop kick.
00:30:35I like height.
00:30:37Shots out.
00:30:37Oh, it's connected.
00:30:39And my finisher move over the moonsault.
00:30:43Genius of a Sky.
00:30:45Moonsault.
00:30:46Cover.
00:30:49In our Sky.
00:30:51World Games is my favorite.
00:30:53I did climb up the cage.
00:30:57And then I put on the trash can.
00:31:00Put on my head.
00:31:04She's the genius of the sky.
00:31:07But this is ridiculous.
00:31:09I'm kind of stupid.
00:31:10I didn't realize since I put on the trash can.
00:31:13I couldn't see anything.
00:31:14And so dark here.
00:31:21私はなんてバカなんだって思いましたそのとき。
00:31:22And oh my gosh I get scared.
00:31:34すごく怖くなったんですけどああもうこれ以上怖いって思う前に飛ぶしかないって言ってもう飛び降りました。
00:31:37Mio Sky from the top of the cage.
00:31:40With a trash can out of her head.
00:31:42Wipe it out everybody.
00:31:43Got it!
00:31:45Got it!
00:31:45Got it!
00:31:45Got it!
00:31:46Got it!
00:31:47Got it!
00:31:47So that's crazy.
00:31:49I know.
00:31:53I'm so short.
00:31:54My height is 5.2.
00:32:00158cm.
00:32:01So walking outside like I walk on the street so nobody think about I am a wrestler.
00:32:07EO from day one to me just had this innate charisma.
00:32:13EO Scott!
00:32:15When she walks out, there's just little things she does.
00:32:19If I said to somebody five years ago hey we're gonna have a female.
00:32:23That is going to be like this huge thing, right?
00:32:26Like he'd be like get out of here.
00:32:27EO Scott!
00:32:29When she does it it's money.
00:32:31It's spectacular.
00:32:31If I was to get decimated on a roster of people and say,
00:32:35we got to start over, I would look at it and say,
00:32:38if you leave me EO, I'm good.
00:32:45The impetus for the Evolution POE,
00:32:47and it dates back about a decade to around 2015.
00:32:52Our audience kind of took to social media.
00:32:54They wanted our female superstars
00:32:57to have as much airtime and investment in their stories
00:33:00as the male superstars do.
00:33:03So that's where the concept of Evolution came about,
00:33:05and it carried on to then this past year,
00:33:09where we did our second Evolution POE.
00:33:12The main event with Rhea Ripley versus EO Sky
00:33:15was a perfect main event for that show,
00:33:18because one, Rhea and EO have amazing chemistry,
00:33:22but also because Rhea Ripley, who some may argue
00:33:26our biggest superstar in general, has never beaten EO Sky.
00:33:30And so it was kind of that quest to kind of, you know,
00:33:33win back the title that Rhea has lost.
00:33:36EO Sky conquers!
00:33:38Cover the road zone, connects!
00:33:39Sky, cover, puts the leg!
00:33:42EO Sky is the world champion!
00:33:45And so that quest to kind of see Rhea finally conquer what she has not yet been able to conquer
00:33:51was just kind of a natural kind of big fight feel storyline for that show.
00:33:56At Evolution, I can choose who to defend the women's world championship.
00:34:33and that means we are...
00:34:46The money in the bank briefcase contains the contract for you to be able to cash in on any champion
00:34:52anytime anywhere that's so much power whoever has the money in the bank briefcase you have to

00:49:23Rhea looking to win her fourth world championship
00:49:26she's won tag titles and NXT titles in the Royal Rumble
00:49:30but tonight would feel oh so good
00:49:33for the Eradicator
00:49:35from Tokyo, Japan
00:49:39Io Sky
00:49:43remember what happened back in March
00:49:46when Io Sky shocked everyone
00:49:49taking the championship from Rhea Ripley
00:49:54the two best female wrestlers on planet earth in 2025
00:49:59the question remains though
00:50:00who is one and who is two
00:50:20oh
00:50:23Rhea said out
00:50:24interception
00:50:25oh my god
00:50:26oh my god
00:50:27oh my god
00:50:27stopped in the midsection
00:50:28oh my god
00:50:29Ripley is really rough here now
00:50:32oh
00:50:34oh
00:50:35oh
00:50:35oh
00:50:35oh
00:50:36oh
00:50:36oh
00:50:36oh
00:50:36oh
00:50:37oh
00:50:37oh
00:50:37oh
00:50:38oh
00:50:39I'm going to do a powerbomb.
00:50:45There were so many counters.
00:50:48Oh, my goodness!
00:50:50Oh, shit!
00:50:51Oh, God, a poisoned Rana!
00:50:54We okay?
00:50:55I can just feel the adrenaline in this arena.
00:50:58They're witnessing something very special.
00:51:02After no referee, he's going to go fucking apeshit.
00:51:06EO, top rope. Oh, no!
00:51:09Rhea ducked out of harm's way.
00:51:11EO inadvertently hit the official.
00:51:14Rhea Ripley now.
00:51:15And a rough tie in the sky.
00:51:17One, two, three.
00:51:20Rhea Ripley has got pinned, but there's no official.
00:51:26The referee was taken out of this match.
00:51:29Rhea Ripley had the damn match won,
00:51:31but there's no official to count.
00:51:33Well, this must feel like a curse to Rhea Ripley.
00:51:38Nice, Rhea.
00:51:40Good shit.
00:51:45How does her little body take all that?
00:51:53This is spelling out all over the place.
00:51:57Ripley and Sky fighting into the WWE Universe.
00:52:01Rhea Ripley, understandably, has now completely lost it.
00:52:05I am not quite sure what Rhea Ripley is capable of
00:52:08in the state of mind that she is in right now.
00:52:12Trying to see the floor at their feet if you can
00:52:14to only get over there.
00:52:16And now on the equipment cases over there
00:52:18in the corner of this arena.
00:52:20Once EO counters this, she's going to go to that first level.
00:52:23Well, it's going to be nasty as hell.
00:52:25Then pause, look up, and go one step higher.
00:52:32Oh, no!
00:52:35Don't do it, EO!
00:52:37EO!
00:52:38Climb it up high!
00:52:40Right now, right now, right now, right now.
00:52:42Don't get too close to it.
00:52:43I want to see crowd behind it.
00:52:44I want to see how high she is.
00:52:46The genius in the sky with Ripley in trouble.
00:52:49Right now, right now, right now, right now.
00:52:50The highest risk superstar of them all!
00:52:53EO, the cross body, and EO and Rhea are down.
00:52:57Nice.
00:52:58EO to be 20 feet down.
00:53:02And both women are down.
00:53:04EO, EO, EO, EO.
00:53:06EO, EO, EO, EO!
00:53:07EO, EO, EO, EO, EO, EO, EO!
00:53:08Everybody okay?
00:53:10Two women knocking the hell out of each other
00:53:14in pursuit of excellence, in pursuit of greatness,
00:53:18in pursuit of history.
00:53:20The ref coming?
00:53:22Let me see you're coming in.
00:53:23The officials coming too!
00:53:28EO, the sky hits it!
00:53:30Oh!
00:53:30For the moonsault, and Rhea kicked the toe!
00:53:33Rhea kicked the toe!
00:53:34Now it's Eoskye's turn to say,
00:53:37what the hell do I do now?
00:53:41Holy hell!
00:53:43Nice.
00:53:44I had a way to cover that shit, Pete.
00:53:46That's storytelling.
00:53:48Rhea Ripley tapping into something different tonight,
00:53:52and it needs it against this version of Eoskye.
00:53:55Rhea Ripley, oh, my goodness, banished fly!
00:53:58Both women are down!
00:54:01Eoskye's out!
00:54:03Rhea's out!
00:54:04World title's on the line!
00:54:07I'm ready.
00:54:08You ready, Hunter?
00:54:09Yeah, okay.
00:54:10Here we go.
00:54:19Oh.
00:54:21My.
00:54:22God.
00:54:23Naomi!
00:54:25Naomi!
00:54:26Miss Money in the Bank!
00:54:28With a referee in toe!
00:54:30Okay, once they announce it as a triple threat, briefcase shot to Eoskye.
00:54:36You can hear this.
00:54:39Ladies and gentlemen, Naomi is cashing in!
00:54:43We're putting in the bank contract!
00:54:46This is now a triple threat match!
00:54:48It's a triple threat match!
00:54:50Anything goes!
00:54:51There are no to swallow locations under triple threat rules!
00:54:54He has officially cashed in against two completely decimated women!
00:55:01My leg and moonsault!
00:55:04Covered by Naomi!
00:55:07Naomi is the world champion!
00:55:09Holy cow!
00:55:12Here is your winner!
00:55:16The new women!
00:55:20Fucking A.
00:55:20Whoa!
00:55:22Fucking awesome.
00:55:23That fucking one motherfucker himself.
00:55:25Naomi!
00:55:31Take that, motherfucker.
00:55:39Hey, that was awesome top to bottom.
00:55:44It was a holy shit moment.
00:55:47She's the new champion, and she is on top of the world.
00:55:52Me returning, I wanted to be better, do better, become better.
00:55:56This solidifies that. It improves that.
00:56:00It's very emotional. I'm trying to keep it together.
00:56:03First time ever being the women's world champion.
00:56:07Who knows what's ahead of me now.
00:56:09You're badass.
00:56:10Thank you, thank you.
00:56:11How's that feel?
00:56:13Amazing.
00:56:14It just shows that it's women in wrestling.
00:56:17We're still progressing. We're still getting better.
00:56:20For those who have been watching me since 2009,
00:56:23if I could just sum it all up of my journey,
00:56:26it's just to keep going.
00:56:29Evolution is such a massive deal for us women here in the WWE,
00:56:32and just women in general.
00:56:33There's a lot of male-dominated things.
00:56:36Sports, businesses, etc.
00:56:38So to have something that's like all women
00:56:40is such a massive, massive deal to us.
00:56:44Give me a rock.
00:56:45I'm so glad.
00:56:47I'm so glad.
00:56:48I'm so glad.
00:56:48Thank you so much.
00:56:49Thanks for giving me this opportunity.
00:56:51Oh, it's so great.
00:56:52You were great.
00:56:53You always believe in me. Thank you so much.
00:56:56Yeah, I always will.
00:56:56You were looking great.
00:56:58Aw.
00:56:58Rockstar.
00:56:58A lot of times, backstage, I could just call her rockstar,
00:57:03because I don't know how to put a label on her for anything else.
00:57:07She's just the nicest human being of all time.
00:57:10We'll do whatever you want, and we'll come back,
00:57:12and just...
00:57:13She's just hoping that you tell her it was good.
00:57:15And when you tell her it was good,
00:57:16it's like the world lit up for her.
00:57:18You know, most people, when they're up high, they just dive.
00:57:21Yep.
00:57:22Right, no jump.
00:57:23You jump up.
00:57:24Oh, yeah.
00:57:24I did, I did.
00:57:25It was very good.
00:57:26Oh, thank you.
00:57:27I enjoyed it.
00:57:28I enjoyed it.
00:57:29Okay.
00:57:30Oh, thanks.
00:57:31There you go.
00:57:33Does that scare you?
00:57:35No, no.
00:57:36I wanna be special.
00:57:39I will take any risk to become I am superstar.
00:57:43Yeah.
00:57:47This is what we worked so hard for,
00:57:49and it's all accumulated to this moment right here,
00:57:52because this is what the future of the women here in WWE
00:57:57are going to show.
00:57:59And we're gonna take our opportunities.
00:58:00We're not gonna wait for them anymore,
00:58:02and this is exactly where we start.
00:58:03So it was a really cool experience.
00:58:10Let's talk about evolution.
00:58:11Just what a night.
00:58:15The bar for what women do in this industry,
00:58:17all of it has been raised so high.
00:58:20Man, they showed tonight what a change
00:58:22that business has been for them.
00:58:25Incredibly proud of them.
00:58:27I'm sure somebody here will ask about Seth.
00:58:30He came here tonight.
00:58:31He was not going to miss his wife's performance tonight.
00:58:34He will be in Birmingham tomorrow with Dr. Dugas.
00:58:37I'll just say right now, a little bit inconclusive.
00:58:39Doesn't look good, but we'll get MRI
00:58:43and hope for the best.
00:58:47So keeping a secret?
00:58:50Not letting people know that Seth Rollins
00:58:53doesn't need crutches?
00:58:56That's part of the thrill.
00:58:58Is it secrecy?
00:59:01Is it a work?
00:59:03Or is it simply the planning of performance art?
00:59:12On me.
00:59:14Now.
00:59:15We call the restaurants.
00:59:16Burn it out.
00:59:17Burn it down.
00:59:19Burn it down!
00:59:20Unique.
00:59:25Unique.
