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 up.
00:03:49Come on.
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, I might have had a six pack.
00:05:56I spent my whole life trying to live up to my name.
00:05:59I am 40 years old, and my normal profession is I'm a musician.
00:06:07I don't know where you're at in your life or what you're going through, but I want to tell you
00:06:16to keep going, baby.
00:06:18I 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.
00:06:33So when I started doing music and people started noticing me, it 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! 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.
00:06:58You 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 to 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.
00:07:25Summer Slam 2024.
00:07:27When I'm getting up from doing the five knuckle shuffle, I'm hanging onto a rope and R-True's got one
00:07:33arm 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? You know what I mean?
00:08:05Like, I'm dead serious about this.
00:08:07Training for Summer Slam.
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 if I'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 Summer Slam.
00:08:53Then Jelly Roll moved, got a house, got two houses actually, in Orlando.
00:08:59One for him and then one for his crew, so that when he finished working out, he went and wrote
00:09:05songs at night.
00:09:06Because that's his job.
00:09:10Walking in that first day and looking at Matt Bloom like, my bubba, I'm not even a good piece of
00:09:16clay here.
00:09:16Every time I chew up, please.
00:09:17That's all right.
00:09:18You got a lot to learn.
00:09:22I have never done a flip, ever.
00:09:25You got a lot to learn.
00:09:28Hey, my side of getting up from here is a big and short.
00:09:32Every day, it scared me.
00:09:343, 2, 1, stop!
00:09:36My fear in wrestling was, had I bit off more than I could chew, was I physically going to be
00:09:44able to do it?
00:09:47You can imagine my first week, my body was going, no, you're not, you're not, there's no way you're going
00:09:52to be ready for this.
00:09:53But, uh, that same dog that came out of me that was determined to make it as a songwriter, started
00:10:00coming out of me in there.
00:10:01You got a lot to learn.
00:10:04From 11 to 2 o'clock every day, I'd let Coach Matt Bloom, Coach Moss, Coach Brookside beat me to
00:10:09death.
00:10:11Let this fella go.
00:10:12We'll have him go.
00:10:13Wednesday jelly, we're going to work on selling.
00:10:16You getting your ass kicked.
00:10:26I've never been through something that was more grueling that I cannot wait to get back to doing.
00:10:31Dude, I'm going to fucking have a SummerSlam match.
00:10:34It's going to be the coolest thing ever.
00:10:36Where's the fucking rest of the ass?
00:10:37You skinny motherfucker.
00:10:39What are you weighing?
00:10:40What are you weighing?
00:10:42Yeah?
00:10:43First time since middle school.
00:10:45First time since middle school.
00:10:47What's your spine feel like?
00:10:49I can feel it.
00:10:50My ass crack went down a little bit.
00:10:53Oh my gosh.
00:10:54I'm proud of you, man.
00:10:56It's fucking inspiring.
00:10:58Makes me want to go to the gym right fucking down here.
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.
00:11:10That 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.
00:11:29Like he's like a sloppier version of Dusty.
00:11:32He would get up, he'd get knocked down or whatever and he'd get up and do the like dance around,
00:11:36bounce around shit and I thought, God damn, there could be something there.
00:11:42And in looking at different people to team with Jelly Roll, you've got to have a leader.
00:11:47You've got to have someone that can control everybody and everything.
00:11:53Randy Orton was perfect for a tag team partner.
00:11:55When you look at assholes to beat up, you got Drew McIntyre, that's an easy one, and 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, I'm still sore.
00:12:17The first pill, I'm still sore.
00:12:19Cold up a weekend, I'm sore now.
00:12:20Shoulder hurts, neck hurts, everything.
00:12:22I'm bruised everywhere.
00:12:25Once we get cameras out here and everything, Jelly, we'll go over tonight.
00:12:30When he comes face to face with you, he'll throw the punch, you block it, lay his ass 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.
00:12:45The 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.
00:13:21But I want you to not repeat it to anybody, but you're our guy.
00:13:29You need to know what's going on here.
00:13:31Okay.
00:13:33We're going to do an angle tonight where Seth closes Neo in this match of L.A. night.
00:13:37Okay.
00:13:38Paul.
00:13:40We're going to do this now because they've got to steal L.A.
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,
00:13:48Well, Connor told everybody.
00:13:49The only people that really know me, Bruce, Ed, Bobby Roode, Seth, L.A.
00:13:56Heyman knows because he was there when I came up with it.
00:13:59Yeah.
00:13:59Right now, that's it.
00:14:01I don't know what move they're going to do yet, but he'll do something towards the end of the match
00:14:04where he like blows his knee out and 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.
00:14:12Jess gives the X.
00:14:13Medical comes out.
00:14:14Legit.
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.
00:14:38Wise 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 me
00:15:02his finish and just go over.
00:15:04And like, whether you kick him, you give it to him or just he'll feed you and you just
00:15:08give it, you know what I mean?
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 didn't tell you, you would be
00:15:20out of your mind pissed at me because you're a professional and you're in the ring and your
00:15:25first thought is make sure your opponent is safe and doesn't get hurt and all these
00:15:29things and 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 it,
00:15:51as awkward as it could possibly look.
00:15:53And be very careful hooking his leg.
00:15:56But we're going to play it off as full-blown legit.
00:15:59Yeah, this is going to hook him.
00:16:00So he's out.
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:01Oh, that's great.
00:16:02Awesome.
00:16:03Okay.
00:16:06Oh, happy day.
00:16:08Oh, happy day.
00:16:10Oh, happy day.
00:16:12I 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
00:16:20and I hurt one of these guys?
00:16:21You know, I didn't want nobody to get hurt on my watch.
00:16:23That was super important to me.
00:16:24Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:16:27Ba-la-la-la-la-la.
00:16:29Ba-la-la-la-la.
00:16:30Ba-la-la-la-la.
00:16:30Ba-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.
00:16:50Celebrity Night's main event.
00:17:12Let's do this, baby.
00:17:19Let's do this, baby.
00:17:21Jelly Roll.
00:17:23From St. Louis, Missouri, the fighter, Randy Ortex.
00:17:36Tremendous history between these two.
00:17:38They know each other extremely well.
00:17:44McIntyre's dominating early.
00:17:47Logan Paul enjoying what he's seen.
00:17:49Jelly Roll less so.
00:17:51Logan and Jelly now.
00:17:52Here it is.
00:17:54Come on.
00:17:55You're in the wrong arena, buddy.
00:17:57And I pulled you down yesterday.
00:17:59And I'm gonna tell you again.
00:18:01You're in the wrong arena.
00:18:02You're bluffing out.
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.
00:18:17Order in the ring.
00:18:19Let's see.
00:18:20Let's see Jelly fire up.
00:18:21Nice.
00:18:23And now, Logan won the lucky punch to the jaw of Randy Orton.
00:18:30And now, Logan Paul unloading on Orton.
00:18:33Jelly Roll has seen it off.
00:18:35Jelly Roll is not a fighter.
00:18:39Long an uber.
00:18:41Speaker 9 of the money on the ring explode.

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.
00:19:26You could just tell that he's a lifelong fan, he loves this business,
00:19:31and he's been watching because he knows what it takes to perform in that ring,
00:19:35and he just did it so well.
00:19:38Hey, Randy.
00:19:39Me?
00:19:39Ha-ha!
00:19:40Fucking Jelly.
00:19:41How'd I do, baby?
00:19:43How'd I do?
00:19:43It was awesome.
00:19:44It was fucking awesome, man.
00:19:46I was so impressed he blew anyone else out of the water

00:19:55Congrats, man.
00:19:56How'd I do?

00:19:58Am I getting over it?
00:19:58Fucking badass.
00:19:59You heard him chanting Jelly?
00:20:01Listen, I'm going to go home and watch this like I did last night.
00:20:05Dude, you heard him chanting your name?
00:20:07Yeah.
00:20:07Fucking great.
00:20:08When I heard the Jelly Roll chant, it was like, Jelly, Jelly Roll.
00:20:12That's why I love wrestling.
00:20:14Unique to the WWE universe.
00:20:16I'll never hear that again in a Jelly Roll show in my life
00:20:18unless God and the WWE blessed me to come back there.
00:20:24Well, for a megastar, what a down-to-earth dude.
00:20:28What'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...
00:20:35We didn't even know you were here.
00:20:36We just came to see him.
00:20:37Hey, bad ass.
00:20:38That's good shit.
00:20:38Yeah, yeah.
00:20:39It's got to be good, man.
00:20:40Oh, yeah.
00:20:41Yeah.
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,
00:20:52because at first I was like,
00:20:54I'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.
00:20:59They sent me the videos.
00:21:00I 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...
00:21:08Yeah.
00:21:08Side of the fact.
00:21:15A 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.
00:21:38It's storytelling that builds to special moments that affect our audience on a deep level.
00:21:48If this was a real situation, how would we all react?
00:21:52I didn't want to overreact.
00:21:53I think Triple H as well, and Bruce and Guerrilla acted as if it was real.
00:21:58There was only four people, five people, six, maybe at the most,
00:22:00that 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.
00:22:11Seth Rollins, and Rollins now launched outside the ring to the pool.
00:22:15That'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,
00:22:25typically we'll ring the bell right away.
00:22:26We had to be very, very careful that we didn't do that.
00:22:29Brian, K-Fig, just me and you, a little bit of fucking fuckery here.
00:22:36K-Fig fuckery on the end of this thing.
00:22:39Do not let the fucking ring bell ring until the 1-2-3 happens, and 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-rate to the midsection.
00:23:06Frostflash coming.
00:23:07The visionary now, heading up to the top rope, looking to put L.A. Knight away.
00:23:11Frostflash to the injured midsection, it rins.
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 top drive.
00:23:28And now Knight looking to rally.
00:23:33And that gray area is what makes us special as performers.
00:23:38If you can see through every single thing that we do, it becomes boring.
00:23:44L.A. Knight, yeah!
00:23:48Elbow delivered.
00:23:50Knight, cover.
00:23:52And Rollins kicks it too.
00:23:55When you get into the excitement of telling a story,
00:23:59you look to exhaust whatever resources you have to tell that story in the best possible way.
00:24:08And Rollins with a buckle bomb!
00:24:10I don't think there's any line that can't be crossed.
00:24:14It's just you've 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 at 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 area to check on Rollins.
00:24:36Oh, no.
00:24:38Back off L.A., back off L.A., back off L.A., tell him to give him a minute.
00:24:42Rollins tweaking his knee.
00:24:43Heyman over to check on his man.
00:24:45Let's get...
00:24:46Do we need the doc?
00:24:51He said he needs a doc.
00:24:53Fuck!
00:24:54God damn 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?
00:25:10What was that?
00:25:11He said Seth is fucked.
00:25:13He said L.A. hit his finish.
00:25:15Okay.
00:25:15You've got to do it.
00:25:16Tell L.A.
00:25:17Tell L.A.
00:25:18Whatever Seth told him.
00:25:21Rollins hobbling back up into the corner.
00:25:23L.A. Knight.
00:25:23B.S. B.S.P. by L.A. Knight.
00:25:26This is the finish.
00:25:27Finish, finish.
00:25:28Hover down.
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.
00:25:38And 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 beard, get everybody out of here so he can get through.
00:26:26What matters this much, this much doubt, that's all we need, this much doubt.
00:26:37If you have that, that's where the magic happens in our business.
00:26:41That's what makes it special.
00:26:43Just that little bit of I don't know.
00:26:46Did it come off?
00:26:47It's unbelievable.
00:26:48Just out of nowhere.
00:26:49Out of nowhere.
00:26:50Yep.
00:26:51The way they shot it, just as...
00:26:53Everything.
00:26:54Everything was really good.
00:26:56How did it feel out there?
00:26:57Did it feel legit?
00:26:58Awkward.
00:26:58Awkward, yeah.
00:26:59Yeah.
00:27:00It's supposed to feel awkward.
00:27:01It was awkward backstage, too.
00:27:02It was great.
00:27:08It was awkward as hell, but that's kind of what sold it.
00:27:10So, um, with it being that awkward, it just kind of, you know, it probably felt flat in
00:27:15the moment, but that also allowed people to be like, oh, shit, okay, yeah, dude's really
00:27:20hurt.
00:27:21Can you spot the camera's off for just two seconds, please?
00:27:25LA Knight played it perfectly.
00:27:27His facial expressions were on point of, oh, shit.
00:27:31No.
00:27:32You could see his confusion and you could see his, ah, shit.
00:27:37But it helped fans to believe in the moment that, hmm, something real just happened.
00:27:49LA did great.
00:27:50Played it to a tee.
00:27:51We were able to get out of that situation, making it look like it was an actual real injury.
00:27:58You know, you got cameras and shit all over.
00:28:00Yeah, yeah.
00:28:00I want you to be out here, up your ass.
00:28:02I'll be working until I get back to the broscoe.
00:28:05You might want to be getting back.
00:28:08From the second I got hurt, you had speculation all over the internet about what, what this
00:28:16was going to lead to, if it was real, if it was not real.
00:28:19Wow, Seth Rollins really might be injured.
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.
00:29:11The most important thing about five minutes handstands, like, keep my mentality.
00:29:24Of course, it's so hard.
00:29:27Five minutes handstands, I really think about it.
00:29:31I want to fall.
00:29:36But I always think about it.
00:29:38I can do it.
00:29:39I have to do it because I am the champion.
00:29:56My first name is Masami in real name.
00:30:00So Masami, but nobody called me Masami because I started wrestling since 16 years old.
00:30:07I used to use my ring name.
00:30:39And my finisher move is over the moonsault.
00:30:43Genius in the sky.
00:30:45Moves out.
00:30:46Cover.
00:30:49In our sky.
00:30:51Morgan's is my favorite.
00:30:53I did climb up the cage and then I put on the trash can, put on my head.
00:31:04She's the genius in the sky, but 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.
00:31:21So私はなんてバカなんだって思いましたその時。
00:31:22And oh my gosh, I get scared.
00:31:30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飛び降りました。
00:31:51I'm so short.
00:31:54But my height is 5.2, 158 centimeters.
00:32:01So walking outside, like I walk on the street, so nobody think about I am a wrestler.
00:32:07Io from day one to me just had this innate charisma.
00:32:12Io!
00:32:13Stop!
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 going to have a female, then that is going to
00:32:25be like this huge thing, right?
00:32:26Like, you'd be like, get out of here.
00:32:27Io, stop!
00:32:29When she does it, it's money.
00:32:31It's spectacular.
00:32:31If I was to get decimated on a roster of people and say, we got to start over, I would
00:32:38look at it and say, if you leave me Io, I'm good.
00:32:44The impetus for the Evolution POE kind of dates back about a decade to around 2015.
00:32:51Our audience kind of took to social media.
00:32:54They wanted our female superstars to have as much airtime and investment in their stories as the male superstars do.
00:33:02So that's where the concept of Evolution came about, and it carried on to then this past year where we
00:33:10did our second Evolution POE.
00:33:12The main event with Rhea Ripley versus Io Sky was a perfect main event for that show because, one, Rhea
00:33:19and Io have amazing chemistry.
00:33:22But also because Rhea Ripley, who some may argue our biggest superstar in general, has never beaten Io Sky.
00:33:30And so it was kind of that quest to kind of, you know, win back the title that Rhea has
00:33:34lost.
00:33:36Io Sky conquers!
00:33:38Over the line zone connects!
00:33:39Sky!
00:33:40Cover!
00:33:41Puts the lead!
00:33:42Io Sky is the world champion!
00:33:46And so that quest to kind of see Rhea finally conquer what she has not yet been able to conquer
00:33:51was just kind of a natural kind of big fight feel storyline for that show.
00:33:55At Evolution, I can choose who to defend the women's world championship.
00:34:04And that means we are Rhea Ripley.
00:34:25Vesselmaniaでチャンピオンシップをやったことよりもエボリューションでメインイベントなんでかっていうとエボリューションは女子だけのウィメンズディビジョンだけのショーなのでっていうことを私とRheaが表現しなきゃいけないと思ってたので
00:34:27You're on!
00:34:45That's so much power.
00:35:00Whoever has the money in the bank briefcase, you have to keep it with you and take it everywhere you
00:35:05go.
00:35:07But I also clean it out when I'm traveling so I don't get in trouble because I be having all
00:35:14kind of stuff in there.
00:35:15I'm just packing my briefcase.
00:35:18New caution belt.
00:35:19Mm-hmm.
00:35:19Choke somebody.
00:35:20What you call this?
00:35:22A thong harness.
00:35:25It's like...
00:35:29Yeah, go ahead.
00:35:31Caution fan.
00:35:34Got all...
00:35:36Faithful.
00:35:38Fully charged.
00:35:39This is just in case you're trying to shock a bitch.
00:35:41Some pepper gel.
00:35:43Hey, hold on.
00:35:43Pepper gel.
00:35:44Hold on, what is it?
00:35:45The lock is on.
00:35:46It's on security.
00:35:47You don't even know how to use it.
00:35:49It's okay.
00:35:50I'll figure it out on the day of.
00:35:52Gear.
00:35:53Fresh pack of blades.
00:35:55A little something to take the edge off.
00:35:57Always got to have a fresh wig on deck.
00:36:00Never know when this one will get snatched.
00:36:02Wrap pellets to poison jade ass.
00:36:04And my contract.
00:36:08Hold on, hold on.
00:36:09I got one more thing left.
00:36:10Hold on.
00:36:10Hold on, girl.
00:36:11Before you close that, go on.
00:36:12Go on, put this.
00:36:14Go on, put this right up in there.
00:36:15Hold on.
00:36:16You want to do some crazy thing about your boy?
00:36:18Aw, foofy.
00:36:21All right.
00:36:22I can't do nothing without my foofy foofy.
00:36:25You know that makes you an accomplice now.
00:36:28You're doing good, though.
00:36:30Love you.
00:36:31Love you so much.
00:36:41Naomi, did you get all your junk out of there
00:36:43before they take it away from you?
00:36:44When the time is right, I'll pull her out.
00:36:46Is that your regular legitimate suitcase?
00:36:49What the fuck is going on in there?
00:36:51Shot glass?
00:37:11I was telling Io to possibly make a moment out of this,
00:37:15like climb up here, act like she's going to dive,
00:37:19then look up, go up further,
00:37:22do you think that's warranted?
00:37:25Edge will be right here.
00:37:28So you're going to be right there.
00:37:29That's the edge, right there.
00:37:31Yeah.
00:37:32Okay?
00:37:33Yeah.
00:37:34You want somebody to bring you a trash can?
00:37:37Right in.
00:37:38This is an area that we are prepping for,
00:37:41one of Io Sky's high falls, you know,
00:37:44which she loves height.
00:37:51What's your, what is your concern?
00:37:55The bump that Rhea's got to take.
00:37:56Yeah, it's a hell of a bump.
00:37:57Are you padding this?
00:37:59Yes.
00:37:59I just want you to hit your head on the floor.
00:38:01Yeah.
00:38:01It's always a challenge to creatively make it look like it's part of our backstage gear,
00:38:09but to also give her a safe platform.
00:38:12Could you lay down?
00:38:14Of course.
00:38:20I have no words how I'm feeling,
00:38:23so I'm just nervous and excited.
00:38:28Show must go on.
00:38:30Come back to the two of you in the ring,
00:38:32like both sitting in the corner,
00:38:33fucking selling,
00:38:34looking at each other like,
00:38:35what the fuck, right?
00:38:37Yeah.
00:38:38Okay.
00:38:39You can actually say that,
00:38:40like, what the fuck?
00:38:41Yeah.
00:38:41You know what I mean?
00:38:42What the fuck?
00:38:43Yeah.
00:38:43See?
00:38:44See, it still sounds cute.
00:38:46Phenomenal when you say it, yeah.
00:38:47It does.
00:38:48What the, you know,
00:38:49anybody else you go their cuss,
00:38:50say, ah, it's Io.
00:38:52Too cute.
00:38:56That weekend of Evolution in Georgia
00:38:59ended up having a triple threat match.
00:39:01I'd had matches with Bayley,
00:39:04I'd had matches with Becky,
00:39:05but this time I had the two of them.
00:39:07I had been in a tag team with Bayley
00:39:10coming up to Mania.
00:39:11Bayley and Valkyria
00:39:13are heading to WrestleMania
00:39:15to take on the tag champs.
00:39:17And then we found out
00:39:19that Becky was returning
00:39:21and she was essentially
00:39:22going to take Bayley's spot
00:39:24as my tag team partner
00:39:26for the biggest show of the year.
00:39:28Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
00:39:29what happened?
00:39:29What happened?
00:39:30Are you good?
00:39:30No, no, no, you're not good.
00:39:31What happened?
00:39:31It was, like, bittersweet in a way
00:39:34when I was told
00:39:35that this was gonna happen
00:39:37because, you know,
00:39:38I was excited to have Becky back.
00:39:39But, like,
00:39:40it started really singing,
00:39:41like, how much it sucks.
00:39:42Like, as professional as I can be,
00:39:45man, I worked for that,
00:39:46you know?
00:39:46I worked for that.
00:39:48Bayley deserved
00:39:49to have a WrestleMania match.
00:39:51And I was taking her out.
00:39:54And really, right up
00:39:55until the last moment,
00:39:56I was like,
00:39:56ah, should we maybe
00:39:58do this differently?
00:39:59I'm not even on social media,
00:40:00so I don't know.
00:40:01But I believe the vibe is,
00:40:03like, they're like,
00:40:04oh, it's gonna be Becky.
00:40:05Ah, that's gonna...
00:40:06Ah, but you feel bad for Bayley.
00:40:08So, in a last-minute picture,
00:40:09you can tell me
00:40:10to go fuck off.
00:40:11WrestleMania is like Christmas.
00:40:13You're being good
00:40:14all year long
00:40:15so that you get
00:40:16the most amount of toys
00:40:17on Christmas Day.
00:40:18Like, that's how it works.
00:40:20It felt like
00:40:21I was the Grinch.
00:40:23Like, I'm taking all your toys.
00:40:24I know, you don't want
00:40:25to take it away from her.
00:40:26We don't want to take it away from her.
00:40:27I hear you.
00:40:28I hear you.
00:40:30Let me think about it.
00:40:32Is anybody else?
00:40:33I got kind of pissed
00:40:34out of that heat.
00:40:35Fuck him.
00:40:36But, like,
00:40:37I don't want to be put in the match
00:40:39because we begged for it.
00:40:41I had already accepted it
00:40:43at that point.
00:40:43So happy and excited.
00:40:45I'm so happy for you.
00:40:47So we took this thing
00:40:48that happened
00:40:49that we had no control over
00:40:50that was very real
00:40:53and used it on screen.
00:40:54I keep hoping things
00:40:55will go back
00:40:56to the way they were
00:40:56with us before WrestleMania,
00:40:58but you just won't
00:40:58let that happen.
00:40:59We went on from that moment
00:41:01and told the story
00:41:02with the three of us.
00:41:04Evolution,
00:41:05the women's show.
00:41:06It was so important
00:41:07that we had a banger
00:41:10Welcome to Atlanta.
00:41:13Tonight,
00:41:13we get ready
00:41:14for an historic event.
00:41:16WWE Evolution.
00:41:18Here we go.
00:41:20Fuck yeah, Bayley.
00:41:24For Becky Lynch,
00:41:25it's about defending
00:41:26the title tonight.
00:41:27The Intercontinental Championship
00:41:28defended a triple threat match
00:41:30for the first time ever.
00:41:38The crowd sounds different, right?
00:41:40I think there's a lot more girls.
00:41:42I love it.
00:41:44Here we go.
00:41:52They're on their feet
00:41:53in Atlanta.
00:41:54Damn, they're going crazy already.
00:41:57First woman to gain
00:41:58pinfall or submission
00:41:59becomes the Intercontinental Champion.
00:42:08Dog eat dog world
00:42:10at the very top.
00:42:12They should bring
00:42:12all no friendship.
00:42:14Ignorance says
00:42:15your new best friend.
00:42:17Ignorance says
00:42:18your new best friend.
00:42:19And this is the best thing
00:42:21that could have happened
00:42:22any longer
00:42:23and I would have made it.
00:42:25It's not a war, no.
00:42:26It's not a rapture.
00:42:28I'm just a person
00:42:29but you can't take it.
00:42:31It's a trick set.
00:42:32Hell yeah, Lyra.
00:42:33They won't get you anywhere.
00:42:36I'm not the same kid
00:42:37from your memory.
00:42:39Well, now I can fend for
00:42:41I can't wait.
00:42:42So when I hear your sad song
00:42:44I want to bring your pain.
00:42:45When it's all, it's my fault
00:42:46cause you know I'm not the same.
00:42:48I'm not the same.
00:42:50Oh, we're not
00:42:51the same.
00:42:54This crowd is red hot tonight.
00:42:57Well, they are getting a show
00:42:58from these three women.
00:43:00Three of the absolute best.
00:43:02They're doing fucking awesome.
00:43:12Bayley's hair is magnificent.
00:43:14Looks like Michael Hayes
00:43:15in the morning.
00:43:17She looks insane.
00:43:19Like if it was blue
00:43:20she'd look like fucking
00:43:21Marge Simpson, right?
00:43:22Marge Simpson, right?
00:43:27Might be trying to
00:43:28Rose plant here.
00:43:29Oh!
00:43:29Oh my God!
00:43:38Bayley saves the matchup!
00:43:40Perfect time.
00:43:41We're heading home right here.
00:43:43Here comes our finish, guys.
00:43:50Rose plant, finally!
00:43:52Bayley stacks up Lila.
00:43:54Becky from behind.

00:43:59Becky retains!
00:44:03Here is your winner,
00:44:06the man,
00:44:07Becky

00:44:13That was great.
00:44:15I'll tell you right now,
00:44:16this is the coolest pin
00:44:17I have ever seen
00:44:19in my entire time
00:44:20watching wrestling.
00:44:30All three women brought
00:44:32that absolute A-game tonight.
00:44:35Becky Lynch successfully retains
00:44:37the Women's Intercontinental Championship
00:44:40in a classic.
00:44:44Is that all right?
00:44:45Yeah.
00:44:45No, more than all right.
00:44:46Hell yeah.
00:44:48You okay?
00:44:49You got spot on Lila.
00:44:50I'm just going right there.
00:44:54I was just zapped back
00:44:56to 2018
00:44:57to show myself
00:44:59one match.
00:45:00Just even the flash
00:45:01of the match graphic
00:45:02of me, Becky
00:45:03and Bailey.
00:45:04I genuinely
00:45:04wouldn't believe it.
00:45:05That finish was awesome.
00:45:07The back's up,
00:45:07it looked great.
00:45:09I'm a fucking athlete.
00:45:12Not the only athlete
00:45:13in Ireland now, huh?
00:45:16No, honestly,
00:45:16I'm not that great
00:45:17of an athlete.
00:45:18So, like,
00:45:20that was the most athletic
00:45:21I've ever felt
00:45:22in my entire life.

00:45:36the magic you feel

00:46:47We knew
00:46:48that we had
00:46:49Naomi
00:46:49that was going
00:46:51to cash in.
00:46:51We knew we were

00:46:53But first,
00:46:54the culmination
00:46:55of the Naomi Jade
00:46:57rivalry.

00:48:04Tell Naomi
00:48:04don't move,
00:48:05just stay down.
00:48:07I thought it was
00:48:08pulled off to
00:48:09perfection.
00:48:13When Naomi was
00:48:14in the ring,
00:48:14you think,
00:48:15I have seen
00:48:16the last of Naomi.

00:58:00opportunities we're not going to wait for them anymore and this is exactly where we start so it was
00:58:04a really cool experience let's talk about evolution just what a night
00:58:15the bar for what women do in this industry all of it has been raised so high man they showed
00:58:21tonight
00:58:21what a change that business has been for them incredibly proud of them i'm sure somebody here
00:58:28will ask about seth he came here tonight he was not going to miss his wife's performance tonight
00:58:34he'll be in birmingham tomorrow with dr dugas i'll just say right now a little bit inconclusive
00:58:39doesn't look good but we'll uh get mri and hope for the best
00:58:47so keeping a secret not letting people know that seth rollins doesn't need crutches
00:58:56that's part of the thrill is it secrecy is it a work or is it simply the planning of performance
00:59:06art
00:59:11the plan on me now
00:59:15burn it down
