00:00:06The reality of how much I was going to have to lie to all the people that I care about
00:00:13hadn't really hit me. You know, I can lie to the fans. That's fine. That's part of the business.
00:00:21Lying to, like, my friends and family. And so when it happened, everybody's texting me.
00:00:30And now a moonsault lands on his feet.
00:00:32Oh, fuck. Get Doc in there. Get Doc in there.
00:00:36That is a bleak sight seeing Seth freaking Rollins down and out.
00:00:44And he's not responding to anybody because, you know, he's going through all of this.
00:00:52So everybody's like, how's he doing? His dad is texting me. And I'm like, do I have to like your
00:00:58dad?
00:00:59Like, who do I have to lie to? So I was like breaking out in hives.
00:01:06I think she didn't anticipate having to be an accomplice. I think that part didn't occur to her until the
00:01:13night of.
00:01:14And she's the one answering all the texts while I'm, you know, ignoring them all.
00:01:18I'm much better. I'm a much better liar than she is. She'll be honest with you on that.
00:01:23She's a terrible liar.
00:01:24My manager called me and he's like, how's he doing? Is he okay? What's going on?
00:01:30Is he going to be all right? And I'm like, um, uh, yeah, he'll be fine.
00:01:37He'll be fine, you know? He's going to be fine.
00:01:40You know, and that was like my way of like not, of towing the line, of like not lying, but
00:01:46lying, you know?
00:01:48Okay, next time, just fucking don't tell me.
00:01:51Hmm?
00:01:52Just don't fucking tell me.
00:01:53With what?
00:01:55What's up?
00:01:56I got a fucking, you know, I got a fucking lie to everybody.
00:01:58I got a fucking lie to everybody.
00:02:00I got a fucking lie.
00:02:04Did, did, uh, did you know about it beforehand or after?
00:02:08Yeah, yeah.
00:02:08Okay.
00:02:19Any time I would go into public where there was a possibility that a picture might get out, we were
00:02:25on the crutches with the brace.
00:02:27Crutches were the fucking worst.
00:02:30I have stairs to go to my house.
00:02:32I couldn't do legs at the gym.
00:02:34I flew commercial in a GD brace.
00:02:37You know, you'd stop security.
00:02:38They got to pat the whole thing down.
00:02:40It was obnoxious.
00:02:43Everybody, except my daughter, played their role perfectly.
00:02:47She tried to ruin it immediately.
00:02:49You know, I told her, oh, daddy's got to pretend boo-boo.
00:02:52He doesn't really have a boo-boo.
00:02:53But eventually, she'll tell everyone, daddy doesn't have a boo-boo.
00:02:56And I'll go, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:02:58And everybody will go, oh.
00:03:00Literally the first day, send her into this little summer camp.
00:03:04She does her thing for a few hours.
00:03:05She comes back.
00:03:06She's got this teacher, Miss Joy.
00:03:08She says, I told Miss Joy that you had a pretend boo-boo.
00:03:11I said, no, Rue, you can't do that.
00:03:14She goes, na-na, na-na, boo-boo.
00:03:16I told Miss Joy.
00:03:18Oh.
00:03:22Miss Joy was in the inner circle from day one.
00:03:24And she kept up her end of the bargain, too.
00:03:26Appreciate that, Miss Joy.
00:03:40SummerSlam has always been arguably the second largest event that WWE does.
00:03:47The big tentpole event is the only way that I can think to say it.
00:03:51One of the greatest wrestling matches of all time has their second place here at SummerSlam.
00:04:01You run these big epic storylines through the summer.
00:04:05They peak at SummerSlam.
00:04:07Ray Mysterio has his son back.
00:04:10Oh, broke this on her side.
00:04:13Oh, my God.
00:04:14Give him the earth.
00:04:17History of the business as we move forward.
00:04:19There was so much talent, so much storytelling that could be done.
00:04:24This year, for the first time, SummerSlam now is a two-night event.
00:04:31In laying out the card for SummerSlam, we knew that night one would be headlined by Gunther
00:04:37defending the world title against CM Punk, with obviously the Seth Rollins cash-in surprise
00:04:42included with that, and also Jelly Roll teaming up with Randy Orton to take on Logan Paul and
00:04:49Drew McIntyre.
00:04:50One of the numerous benefits of working with an outside performer like a Jelly Roll is
00:04:55that they have different opportunities outside of our world in which they can promote WWE.
00:05:01We found out that Jelly Roll was actually going to be hosting an episode of the Jimmy Kimmel
00:05:05show, and thought that'd be a perfect opportunity to use it as a platform to kind of promote
00:05:10Jelly's tag match at SummerSlam.
00:05:13I guess we're going to go to commercial break.
00:05:15Commercial break it is.
00:05:17Oh, actually, no, I don't think we're going to go to commercial break.
00:05:22You, my friend, are a greasy, redneck prison rat.
00:05:28Who the f*** is this?
00:05:29Shut the hell up, Jelly Roll.
00:05:31There's your receipt, stupid.
00:05:32Hey, congrats.
00:05:33It's Logan Paul's show now.
00:05:35A real superstar.
00:05:36So, ladies and gentlemen, you want to see a real star?
00:05:40I'm here.
00:05:41Why don't you leave, huh?
00:05:53Getting involved in SummerSlam scared me.
00:05:56I haven't felt fear like that in a long time.
00:05:59I mean, it scared me.
00:06:00It kept me up at night some nights.
00:06:01I'd wake up out of sleeps about it.
00:06:03I wasn't nervous.
00:06:05That's something you feel before a concert.
00:06:06That's healthy.
00:06:07I was scared of, um, I was scared of being rejected.
00:06:16And I haven't had that fear in a long time, neither.
00:06:18It reminded me of, like, the early bar shows.
00:06:21Like, I don't really know how they're going to feel about me out here.
00:06:31You got 20 seconds for me to run somebody?
00:06:33Yes, sir.
00:06:34Is it too early in the day to talk about our finish?
00:06:37No?
00:06:39No?
00:06:39Don't go out here yet.
00:06:41You want to go heels up?
00:06:44I'm not opposed to it.
00:06:45I'm still mulling it over.
00:06:47I've got all the details.
00:06:48I'm weighing out the overall card.
00:06:51Do I need a babyface moment, or do I need a down moment that late in the show?
00:06:56If you ask me where I'm at right now, I'm 60-40, you go down.
00:07:01We get heels up, 60-40.
00:07:03But I want to feel that out for a little bit.
00:07:06I was campaigning to lose.
00:07:08Because we were also trying to clearly tell the story of a man that was unqualified to be in there.
00:07:11Well, I've been thrown through, like, 12, 15 tables getting ready for this.
00:07:15But I haven't actually been through an announcer table with somebody jumping me.
00:07:19You lay on this table just to feel what it's like?
00:07:21I bug y'all, man.
00:07:22I just, I don't want the first time I lay on it before I go through it to be in
00:07:25front of 60,000 people and have no clue what the fuck it feels like.
00:07:28This is the only thing that I'm going to do tonight that I haven't got to try at all.
00:07:34I have no clue how bad it is or isn't going to hurt.
00:07:36I just keep thinking about how far that jump is and how big Logan is.
00:07:40So it's kind of like a little bit like this, but also at an angle.
00:07:43So he'll come, boom.
00:07:44No, no, no, not that angle.
00:07:46Because he'll be coming ahead this way.
00:07:48I'll be on that table, right?
00:07:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:52Yeah, you'll be fine.
00:07:54And then just...
00:07:55Boom.
00:07:55Yep.
00:07:57This thing will break.
00:07:58Mm-hmm.
00:07:59Tuck the chin.
00:07:59It's a clean bump, right?
00:08:00Yep, yep, yep.
00:08:02I'll be okay.
00:08:03We'll be all right.
00:08:04My wife will be sitting right there.
00:08:05She's going to shit herself.
00:08:07She's going to lose her mind, dude.
00:08:10You got any words or advice for me here?
00:08:12Kind of sit up a little bit on impact.
00:08:15Sit up a little bit before impact.
00:08:17Well, I heard you.
00:08:18Yep.
00:08:19Just a little bit.
00:08:20Yeah.
00:08:21Kind of tighten up.
00:08:21Yeah, it'll be a snug shot.
00:08:24It may knock the wind out of you, but you'll be fine.
00:08:27You know, later.
00:08:29For sure.
00:08:31I got a minute to sail here.
00:08:32You probably won't feel much of it in the moment when you cool off.
00:08:38That's when you'll feel it.
00:08:40When the adrenaline comes out.
00:08:42When I go back there and sit down, I'm going to feel every one of these.
00:08:44Yes, you are.
00:08:45And you're going to feel it even more tomorrow when you wake up.
00:08:51Feeling good?
00:08:51Yes.
00:08:52So I got to say, at Saturday's main events, I felt really bad for Seth.
00:08:57Seth Rollins?
00:08:58Yeah, I felt really bad for him.
00:08:59Why?
00:08:59Then I came to you and it was like, hey, man, he's out.
00:09:02If you need me.
00:09:03Yeah.
00:09:03And you just didn't even acknowledge it at all.
00:09:05That it was like, hey, man.
00:09:07Suffice obvious.
00:09:08Yeah.
00:09:10Yeah.
00:09:10Look, I don't like giving people information they don't need.
00:09:14No, no, no.
00:09:14It's all good.
00:09:14Yeah, yeah.
00:09:15It's all good.
00:09:15I think it's myself anyway.
00:09:16I wanted to tell him because I thought it's funny because in the first moment, I didn't
00:09:19have any mail.
00:09:19I didn't think of it like, hey.
00:09:21I don't know.
00:09:22I believed everybody.
00:09:23Yeah.
00:09:24Poor guy.
00:09:24Yeah, yeah.
00:09:25And you know what we're doing tonight, right?
00:09:28Yeah.
00:09:30Thanks, son.
00:09:31Good, you?
00:09:33So, Aftermath?
00:09:35Yeah, a second.
00:09:35We'll talk about it again.
00:09:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:38So, we want to paint the picture where you go over.
00:09:40But you're exhausted.
00:09:42You finally have that moment.
00:09:43We're getting Gunther out.
00:09:45You finally get the fucking year on your knees or whatever that is.
00:09:47And they finally get that title.
00:09:48And they have that emotional moment.
00:09:49Like, fuck, you fucking did it.
00:09:51You know what I mean?
00:09:51And as emotional as possible, I'm going to get a camera in the ring to make it look like
00:09:55that we're going off the air, you know?
00:09:57You can fucking get up on your feet.
00:09:58You finally just give me that moment where you fucking look and just before you even get
00:10:04it up, here he comes.
00:10:05And I feel like, you know, you take your time on all that, too.
00:10:09Like, you fucking can't fucking believe it.
00:10:12You cry if you can.
00:10:14And you know what I mean?
00:10:15As emotional as fucking possible.
00:10:16As soon as you just do this, it's like, fuck.
00:10:19I will milk that till it is bone dry.
00:10:24Bobby Likudny plans for post-match.
00:10:29Sounds awesome.
00:10:30Sounds good.
00:10:32Yeah, I felt like if you went through a war, you know, you went through a war, can barely
00:10:36get up and fucking, but you've overcome and all that shit.
00:10:39And holy shit, he finally fucking did it.
00:10:40Here's your moment.
00:10:41Bang.
00:10:43We are live at the home of the NFL's Giants and Jets, the finals of the 2026 FIFA World
00:10:50Cup, a neighborhood which has hosted a number of Summer Slams, but tonight makes history
00:10:56with the first ever epic two-night event.
00:11:00Over 50,000 WWE fans are expected tonight for the 38th annual Summer Slam.
00:11:13One minute to party.
00:11:15Hey, just take your time.
00:11:17We're in no rush, so don't feel like you got to rush.
00:11:19Take your time going up the stairs.
00:11:20Take your time doing all of it and have fun.
00:11:22All right, let's go.
00:11:24You're so nice.
00:11:25Let's do it.
00:11:26It's so nice meeting you.
00:11:27All right.
00:11:28Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:30Hello, it's me.
00:11:32Hello, it's me.
00:11:33Hello, it's me.
00:11:35Hello.
00:11:36I'm turning up at the party.
00:11:38I'm kicking on my body.
00:11:39You shake it, cut it for me.
00:11:41Yeah, there's some party.
00:11:43I'm turning up at the party.
00:11:44I'm kicking on my body.
00:11:46You shake it, cut it for me.
00:11:47Now, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:49Hello, it's me.
00:11:51Hello.
00:11:51Hello, it's me.
00:11:52Hello, it's me.
00:11:54Woo!
00:11:56What's good, WWE Universe!
00:12:02Who's made a whip?
00:12:14Don't be here.
00:12:15Don't be here.
00:12:16Just don't look at me.
00:12:17You got it.
00:12:18It's all right.
00:12:19The moves, all that's in there.
00:12:20Yes, sir.
00:12:21Love you, brother.
00:12:22Thank you for the opportunity, man.
00:12:24Fuck yeah.
00:12:24Yes, sir.
00:12:25I'm going to make you proud.
00:12:26Take this shit up.
00:12:26Yes, sir.
00:12:27Enjoy this.
00:12:27I'm going to have a fucking ball.
00:12:36Jelly Roll weighs in at 299 pounds, the lightest in many, many years.
00:12:42Jelly Roll weighs in at 299 pounds, the lightest in many, many years.
00:12:58Jelly Roll tags himself in.
00:13:01We're going to have to see what Jelly Roll has learned over the past number of weeks as he
00:13:06starts things off.
00:13:07I'm about to get a little flurry, though, from Jelly.
00:13:12And a big elbow by Jelly drops, Paul.
00:13:17Oh!
00:13:20Don't get a tag to victory.
00:13:24Now the game changes.
00:13:25Yeah, and Jelly, you might want to make a tag now to Mr. Orton while you have the opportunity
00:13:28because here comes McIntyre.
00:13:31Oh, Randy trying to psych up Jelly Roll.
00:13:37Now they realize he made a mistake.
00:13:41It is every celebrity's dream to get in this ring until you face reality.
00:13:49Want to put Jelly on the table?
00:13:52Look at your big table spot.
00:13:55Oh, man, this is, things are getting out of control here.
00:13:59There's no way to feel what this is going to feel like.
00:14:01I look up, and I see him clap those two water bottles together.
00:14:07I'm petrified at this moment.
00:14:12Holy shit!
00:14:14Holy shit!
00:14:15Holy shit!
00:14:16Holy shit!
00:14:17Holy shit!
00:14:22Jelly Roll is going to rue the day that he wanted to become a WWE superstar.
00:14:35Check, check on everybody, please.
00:14:38The medical personnel at ringside have got Jelly Roll to his feet.
00:14:43Everybody's good, everybody's good.
00:14:45A two-on-one situation.
00:14:48Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre continue to pummel away on Orton.
00:14:54Logan Paul laughing and mocking at Jelly Roll.
00:14:57Bye-bye!
00:14:58Bye-bye!
00:15:00Me and Shane, the producer Shane, we talked about it all night.
00:15:04Like, this is where Windsor dies.
00:15:06When you turn around, it's either going to be one of the pops of the night, or it'll fall flat.
00:15:11Jelly Roll!
00:15:17When I turned around for that comeback, it was like, it happened.
00:15:24I don't know what Jelly's thinking.
00:15:26He's trying to drag himself back in.
00:15:28Jelly Roll!
00:15:30Jelly Roll!
00:15:31Jelly Roll!
00:15:41Jelly Roll!
00:15:44And Jelly Roll with a clothesline!
00:15:48Just biting on pure adrenaline here!
00:15:51Watch for the Claymore.
00:15:53Stay here, stay here.
00:15:56Claymore!
00:15:58Logan Paul up top!
00:16:04For the win!
00:16:09Well, there's no fairytale ending for our celebrity here tonight.
00:16:14He showed us all something here.
00:16:17Jelly Roll went out on his shield.
00:16:22That was awesome.
00:16:23It was great.
00:16:25First of all, shout out to Triple H for believing it.
00:16:28Right?
00:16:28Because imagine there's a 480-pound musician and gorilla taking up the space of three men,
00:16:33going, dude, I'm going to lose a bunch of weight.
00:16:35I'm going to kick a wrist and match.
00:16:36I've been a fan my whole life.
00:16:37And Triple H believed me.
00:16:40Love you, son.
00:16:42I'm in, brother.
00:16:42I'm in.
00:16:43You got fucking in.
00:16:43Congratulations.
00:16:44Love you, man.
00:16:45Yeah, you're fucking...
00:16:46You said you will.
00:16:47You worked your fucking ass off, man.
00:16:49I know I made a couple mistakes, but I did pretty good.
00:16:51But, dude, nobody even noticed those.
00:16:52I only say this to people that get it.
00:16:54Respect.
00:16:55Respect.
00:16:55Fucking respect.
00:16:56Okay?
00:16:58Fuck yeah.
00:17:03Are you on your bus?
00:17:07Yes.
00:17:08So I'll come out to see you.
00:17:10Let's make sure it's exactly how we want it.
00:17:13And the next time we come in, we're going for it.
00:17:19Punk wins.
00:17:22We get the title in Punk's hands.
00:17:27When he lifts the title in the air to give it to the audience that chanted his name for
00:17:3210 years, we hit your music.
00:17:35Talk through it now or later?
00:17:37I'll talk to you now.
00:17:38Okay.
00:17:38We're doing a cash in, okay?
00:17:39Okay.
00:17:39So Seth is coming back.
00:17:41So when you get to the bottom of the ramp, just kind of wait, because Seth is going to
00:17:44come out.
00:17:45We come out on the stage.
00:17:47I have the briefcase.
00:17:49You're on crutches.
00:17:50Crutches and the brace.
00:17:51And the knee brace.
00:17:53Seth is coming down, and Seth is going to grab you.
00:17:56He's going to slide in.
00:17:57He's going to whack Punk a bunch of times.
00:17:58He's going to come to you, say he's going to cash in.
00:18:00Woo!
00:18:01Walking up with you for the fucking best in the world, baby.
00:18:03Are you cracking him with the briefcase?
00:18:06Oh, yeah.
00:18:07I can't wait.
00:18:07Many times, if I can.
00:18:10Stomp.
00:18:11You do the cash in.
00:18:12He's going to stomp him.
00:18:13You count the one, two, three.
00:18:14On the ring.
00:18:14We do that, okay.
00:18:15You got it.
00:18:17We stay in the ring?
00:18:18We stay in the ring.
00:18:19We stand over the dead body.
00:18:21Get the heat.
00:18:22Get out one time.
00:18:23You call it.
00:18:24We'll go with your gut.
00:18:25That's great.
00:18:26Yeah, I like that.
00:18:32From Chicago, Illinois, CM Punk!
00:18:42You can have all the cockiness and arrogance in the world when you're in your 20s,
00:18:48but right now, old father time is catching up with CM Punk.
00:18:52It's a win now situation.
00:18:55Jess, I don't know exactly how it's going to go, but just be at the bottom of the ramp.
00:18:58So, if Seth points at you or grabs you, just go along with it.
00:19:08Sun's gone to hell.
00:19:09The moon's riding high.
00:19:11And we are ready for a main event for the ages here.
00:19:18Oh!
00:19:20Oh, my goodness.
00:19:22This is, again, a shotgun-like blast.
00:19:25Stay here.
00:19:26I'm going to get a chop fast, my gutter.
00:19:28And now a chop to the back.
00:19:30And Punk's in trouble now.
00:19:32Keep chopping.
00:19:33One in the belly.
00:19:33The body of CM Punk is being broken down before our eyes.
00:19:38Stacks him up to retain, and Punk kicks it, too.
00:19:41Not quite sure how Punk still has anything left in him.
00:19:46Can you make sure that Heyman's up here, please?
00:19:49Paul Heyman?
00:19:56It's tough to keep her surprised now.
00:20:01Keeping a return a secret?
00:20:05Not letting people know that Seth Rollins doesn't need crutches?
00:20:11This makes it so much more difficult.
00:20:14It's all it takes is one person goes, shh.
00:20:22What goes into a reveal?
00:20:24Everything.
00:20:26We're doing theater, and the audience is our chorus.
00:20:34We're building to something, and we're asking you to pay to enjoy the ride along with us.
00:20:44What can make this moment that memorable?
00:20:50That's the assignment.
00:20:52That's the job.
00:20:54That's what we do.
00:20:59It's a miracle.
00:21:00You got the crutches?
00:21:02Megan, I'm going to bring them up here, Seth.
00:21:04Are you going to take the brace off, too?
00:21:05What's that?
00:21:06Taking the brace off, as well?
00:21:09Welcome back.
00:21:11These fucking crutches are the death of me, Larry.
00:21:14Gutler's taking a victory lap already.
00:21:18Wait a minute.
00:21:19CM Punk back at his feet, and Gunther may have made a critical error there.
00:21:23This is going to be fucking great.
00:21:24I think so.
00:21:25Oh, my goodness.
00:21:26Oh, my goodness.
00:21:28The world champion has been busted open.
00:21:32Gunther is busted open.
00:21:34My God, I don't know if I've ever seen Gunther covered in his own blood like that.
00:21:39Gunther trying to beg off.
00:21:40I don't remember, to your point, the last time Gunther's tasted his own blood in a match.
00:21:45Forget everything that's happened previously.
00:21:48The game has changed.
00:21:58Oh, yeah!
00:21:59Punk delivers it to Gunther, and Punk could be closing in on his championship.
00:22:05CM Punk still with some life left.
00:22:07Punk now with Gunther up on his shoulders.
00:22:10Punk for the GTS will go to sleep to the champion.
00:22:15Punk's going to go for it again.
00:22:18Punk for the second GTS.
00:22:21Punk into the cover.
00:22:23Punk is the world champion.
00:22:25CM Punk is a world champion.
00:22:27Here is your winner, the new World Heavyweight Champion, CM Punk.
00:22:42And milky, motherfucker.
00:22:47An emotional CM Punk filled with tears has finally proven beyond a shadow of a doubt
00:22:56that he is the best in the world!
00:23:01On me.
00:23:04Now.
00:23:25Once the audience hears the music, I was worried they would know what was happening.
00:23:33Even when I came out on the crutches with the brace.
00:23:37And I thought maybe the ruse at the end of the ruse was a bit surplus.
00:23:46And the second pop wouldn't be as big as the first pop.
00:23:49That's always the big fear is that, you know, you want your pops to elevate.
00:23:53You know, you want the excitement to increase as you're moving towards the moment.
00:23:59Oh, my God.
00:24:04Seth will take a step to lead like he's going back through Gorilla,
00:24:07and then we'll get all of our shakes here.
00:24:10That was the only concern I had was whether we were going in the right direction
00:24:15by doing the walk away and, oh, he's just here to remind people that he's still got the case.
00:24:20That moment, I didn't know if that was going to play well.
00:24:34When I heard the noise when the crutches drop, I was like, oh, oh, yeah.
00:24:44Oh, I'm sorry. Were some of my posts misleading?
00:24:47Ha, ha, ha.
00:24:55Oh, my God.
00:24:59Oh, no.
00:25:01Oh, no.
00:25:03Not tonight.
00:25:05Not tonight of all nights.
00:25:08I call it a miracle, but I don't think it's that.
00:25:12And CM Punk and Seth Rollins now going after one another.
00:25:25And another one.
00:25:26Another one.
00:25:27And another one.
00:25:30Punk getting the hell beat out of him by Seth Rollins.
00:25:34Cash it in.
00:25:35Cash it in.
00:25:36Cash it in.
00:25:38Cash it in.
00:25:40Right there.
00:25:41Right there.
00:25:42That's your shot.
00:25:43That's the one.
00:25:44He's the one.
00:25:45He's the only thing in your way.
00:25:47This is the vision.
00:25:49Punk is helpless.
00:25:51I'll stop the punk.
00:25:53You've got to be kidding me.
00:25:55A cover by Rollins.
00:25:59Oh, my God.
00:26:00Rollins is the world heavyweight champion.
00:26:02Here is your winner and new world heavyweight champion, Seth Brickin' Rollins.
00:26:21Seth Rollins outmaneuvered CM Punk again.
00:26:31That's the ultimate indicator.
00:26:34How's the payoff?
00:26:35If the payoff worked, then everything else worked.
00:26:37And I believe that it worked perfectly.
00:26:41I'm just so happy that's over.
00:26:43Now I don't have to lie anymore.
00:26:50This is what we've been dreaming of.
00:26:53This is what we've been dreaming of.
00:26:56This is the beauty of the work ethic.
00:27:01This crazy-ass performance art that we lovingly call professional wrestling.
00:27:14You're lying, motherfuckers.
00:27:18You guys, man.
00:27:19Life's on the best.
00:27:20You know what I mean?
00:27:20That was badass, dude.
00:27:22That was fucking badass.
00:27:24We got it.
00:27:25We got it.
00:27:26We got it.
00:27:26We got it.
00:27:27Bye-bye, Crutches.
00:27:28We got him with the lion.
00:27:29We got him with the lion.
00:27:31We got him with the lion.
00:27:34Finally getting the title and moving forward with myself and Heyman and Breaker and Reed,
00:27:39it felt like now we're here.
00:27:41Now we've arrived.
00:27:42And we can really start to do some fantastic work for wherever this leads.
00:27:48I am beat the fuck up.
00:27:50I need an ice bath and some ice cream and some ice.
00:27:55It's nights like that that remind me of what I fell in love with to start this entire journey.
00:28:06It's a physical business, but it's about making people feel what you're feeling.
00:28:12You know?
00:28:13Sometimes you put yourself through hell for your art.
00:28:18For your art.
00:28:20Oh, man.
00:28:23It's about emotion.
00:28:28Okay.
00:28:29Thank you for the opportunity.
00:28:30I hope that was everything you wanted.
00:28:31Oh, my God.
00:28:32That was fucking bad.
00:28:32That had to feel good.
00:28:33Oh, I mean, yes and no.
00:28:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:36Yeah.
00:28:37A lot of it didn't feel good.
00:28:38Yes and no.
00:28:38But it had to feel good.
00:28:39No, but that's what it needed to be.
00:28:40Dude.
00:28:41And then you played that shit on the end with the tears in your eyes.
00:28:44All that shit was so fucking good and emotional.
00:28:47You'll get sick of me saying it, but thank you for the opportunity.
00:28:50You brought me back here.
00:28:51And I think we're doing great things.
00:28:53You make me and Mick look like fucking geniuses.
00:28:55Magic.
00:28:56Magic.
00:28:56Fucking A.
00:28:57So night one was epic.
00:29:00Went about as well as I think it could have.
00:29:03But we still got a whole other night to go.
00:29:24I got this thing a long time ago and just finally found an excuse to use it.
00:29:27So I was like, yes.
00:29:28I'm pumped.
00:29:29After WrestleMania and after losing to John Cena, I took a little time off.
00:29:36Inhale, left arm up.
00:29:38The biggest thing from yoga is being present.
00:29:41My mind runs at a pace where I often don't take any time to realize where we're at.
00:29:50This is modern WWE where the athleticism is through the roof and if you're not doing the things that fix
00:29:56your body, then you end up not being able to do it for very long.
00:30:03Look at WrestleMania and when you lose the title, no matter what anyone tells you, if they tell you it
00:30:08doesn't matter or it doesn't feel a certain way, they're lying to you.
00:30:12I didn't like the end result, not in terms of finish, in terms of execution.
00:30:17I think it was beneath what we can do.
00:30:21I need far better.
00:30:23And not just I need far better, WWE needs far better.
00:30:26So I think that the reason that a lot of people were down on the Cena-Cody WrestleMania match was
00:30:38that it didn't translate and it didn't feel genuine.
00:30:42Because you know what, John?
00:30:44They love you.
00:30:45They appreciate you.
00:30:47You've done maybe more than anybody's ever done for this industry and you're not going to be able to take
00:30:53that away from them.
00:30:54They're not going to hate you like you want them to hate you.
00:30:58It's not going to happen.
00:30:59Just go out there and tear it up.
00:31:02That's what they want.
00:31:04If people were disappointed, let's round this out.
00:31:07Let's remind them that WWE always does have not just a happy ending but a conclusion.
00:31:15The goal would be to get back to the title match, wrestling against John Cena at SummerSlam.
00:31:21Namaste.
00:31:23John really wanted to make up for the Mania match bad.
00:31:29He felt he owed Cody that.
00:31:32The only thing left, too, was to determine how and when we were going to get John Cena back over
00:31:38to being classic babyface John Cena.
00:31:40John Cena's going to defend that title against Cody Rhodes, but it's no DQ or just street fight or whatever.
00:31:46Does he fucking shake Cody's hand, do all that stuff, have a moment there, let the end of the heel
00:31:54run resonate as Cody did it, then get it done on the other side.
00:32:01Is the flip side of that John then coming to Cody's aid?
00:32:08Right, like to turn back babyface somewhere in August because Cody now is in trouble and the guy that actually
00:32:15saves him is John Cena under the...
00:32:19I fucked up and I got ahead of myself here and I realized that I thought you weren't the guy
00:32:26and you are.
00:32:27And I fucking support you and believe in you and now he finishes out August to December clean as a
00:32:34babyface is what we were originally thinking.
00:32:41We didn't know at the time Cody was going to be then going away to make a movie for six
00:32:45weeks.
00:32:46I got to get with John.
00:32:49The Cody going away thing changes a bunch of shit.
00:32:52On the backside of SummerSlam, I am going to Australia to shoot Street Fighter, where I will be playing the
00:32:59character of Guile, which is dope.
00:33:01Um, I grew up playing the character, so they kind of got me sight unseen, which I hope I don't
00:33:07blow it.
00:33:12The thought was at that point of let's just get to Cena the night before and kind of pull him
00:33:18back so that Cena was made whole and back on the good side of things heading into that match.
00:33:24A good face turn is never meant to really be a shock.
00:33:31A good face turn should be something you're feeling and you already were like, come on, man, we're cheering for
00:33:36you now.
00:33:37Like, just come on.
00:33:45And a really good babyface turn is one that we're leading the audience to, but also the audience is leading
00:33:51us to.
00:33:51Uh, John's being a prime example of a face turn where he basically said, I'm a babyface now.
00:33:59Mark your calendar, Cody.
00:34:01August 1st, 2025, Newark, New Jersey, the day that John Cena came back to the WWE!
00:34:13John, doing it in the fashion that he did, where he told the audience, I'm going to be me.
00:34:18Very John, and let me make it even cleaner for you.
00:34:21I'm going to tell him I'm back.
00:34:23He's back!
00:34:25I'm going to be me at SummerSlam.
00:34:26And me at SummerSlam is one of the greatest babyfaces, if not the greatest babyface of all time.
00:34:39I think the easiest way for us to get you involved, if you don't mind, would be having these accessible.
00:34:47Without me getting one of these.
00:34:49Okay.
00:34:49And just take them in the ass.
00:34:50Yeah, okay.
00:34:51That's all right.
00:34:52Totally fine with me.
00:34:52Do you want us to use the thing in the match, or like?
00:34:55Sure.
00:34:55Okay, cool, cool, cool.
00:34:56I also don't want to put you in a spot where you feel uncomfortable.
00:35:01No, not at all.
00:35:02I'm excited you are.
00:35:03Yeah.
00:35:03Awesome, awesome.
00:35:04I think the story that we wanted to tell was,
00:35:10we're willing to both go to the lengths that a street fight demands, but we don't have to do it
00:35:16without respect.
00:35:18I wanted every bit of it to be a warrior's death.
00:35:22If you're refusing to hand the torch, I'm going to murder you for it.
00:35:26I'm going to take it by force.
00:35:30Some of these versions where I'm standing there and watching them come up,
00:35:33it's a lot of just looking at it with love, reverence, but also like, we're at it.
00:35:38I think so.
00:35:39And also, I don't know, is there a little salute in there?
00:35:42That whole fucking, I love you, but I'm sorry, you know what I mean, kind of thing.
00:35:54It's a big finale.
00:35:55This was the big finale to me and Becky's feud, the ultimate battle at the end of our story.
00:36:05I felt a lot of pressure going into this one because it was a no-disqualification match.
00:36:11The main event on the show was John Cena and Cody Rhodes, also with a no-disqualification stipulation.
00:36:18How are you doing? You look so cool!
00:36:20So it was very hard to come up with some unique ideas.
00:36:24I get a chain, tie it around her mouth, pull her, pull her into the steps, knock the steps off.
00:36:33And we are using the box.
00:36:35Right there.
00:36:36Maybe we don't do that.
00:36:37So in what we call gimmick matches, you know, no DQ, street fight, they're hard to prepare for
00:36:43because you can talk them through. You can't actually go through them at full speed because
00:36:51you have to save that for the match, otherwise you're going to kill the guy or girl before the
00:36:55match and they're not going to be able to perform to their best. So you can't do that.
00:36:59Maybe sometimes.
00:37:00Maybe.
00:37:01How would she get out?
00:37:03You get one try at this stuff and it's in front of 60,000 people.
00:37:08We're not doing the old music, no. We're just going straight into it.
00:37:11Straight into it.
00:37:12We were debuting my new entrance music by the Wonder Years, who were one of my favorite bands.
00:37:19New freaking song. Oh, I love it, man. I love it. I reached out to the Wonder Years, big fan
00:37:26of them.
00:37:28And Dan Campbell, the singer, songwriter of the band, I was like, man, would you guys be interested in
00:37:35doing my song? If I can. Like two seconds later, he wrote, right? Fuck yeah. Yeah, we would love to.
00:37:43I love you.
00:37:45Within like two days, he had written this binder of a song.
00:37:49He had lots of little Easter eggs in it. One of them is, uh, I talk to your ghost every
00:37:59night.
00:38:02And I looked where my dad was sitting, you know, six years ago.
00:38:07And so did it to us every night in my street.
00:38:20Hey, Finn.
00:38:23Want to go over some of your ideas?
00:38:25Yeah.
00:38:28Yeah. Oh, man, I did not, um, I got quite emotional on that day.
00:38:34Sorry.
00:38:35All good.
00:38:35Last time we were here, my dad was in the front row and, you know, there's that line and the
00:38:41song,
00:38:42you know, I talked to your ghost every night till just kind of got me.
00:38:46I got you. All good.
00:38:48Yeah. So, you good?
00:38:50Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm good, good, good, good.
00:38:52Just got me a bit emotional there, you know.
00:38:58Last time I was here, my dad was sitting there.
00:39:02Yeah, my poor dad with cancer was just sitting there with this fucking blanket on, you know.
00:39:06For the whole show.
00:39:07For the whole show.
00:39:08For the whole show.
00:39:15Good to get in there.
00:39:16Yeah.
00:39:17Yeah, sometimes good to remember where you come from.
00:39:21And, um, yeah, got me good, got me good.
00:39:31And then, uh, yeah.
00:39:56MetLife Stadium, if you thought last night was something, you ain't seen nothing yet.
00:40:07I have one question for you.
00:40:10Are you ready?
00:40:13I said, are you ready?
00:40:28I always feel on fire internally, I always do, but like every time I feel like this every
00:40:33time and then like it always just seems to be magic, so hopefully it's always going to
00:40:39stay like that, but again, I'm always like really nervous and trying to put out the fires
00:40:44in my head and stay on top of things and you just can't freak out, you just can't, like
00:40:48it's just, we've got to, we've got to go, wow, I'm freaking out.
00:40:54The following is a no disqualification match for the Women's Intercontinental Championship!
00:41:19Becky Lynch has been the standard of Irish dominance for the past 10 years and she is not ready
00:41:27to relinquish that role to a young up-and-coming pretender in Lyra Valkyria.
00:41:34Not sure I would use the word pretender when it comes to Lyra Valkyria.
00:41:39In the SummerSlam match, I think I'd already lost the battle with that one before I went
00:41:44through the curtain.
00:41:44I just didn't switch on.
00:41:48I felt a lot of pressure.
00:41:52I'm always able to live in the moment and for that match, I just couldn't.
00:41:57Introducing the challenger, Lyra Valkyria!
00:42:05When I was making my entrance, I was just thinking, let's just get the bell ringing.
00:42:11Let's just do this.
00:42:12And that's how I knew I was not in the zone that I needed to be.
00:42:18Anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong.
00:42:21Lyra now, boot rake to the midsection of Becky Lynch.
00:42:24One of the first things, I threw Becky into the photographer.
00:42:28Becky, oh!
00:42:30That poor still photo man.
00:42:33She said sorry to him.
00:42:35She's so nice.
00:42:37I was like, oh, sorry.
00:42:39It's a dangerous place to be for anyone near this ringside area.
00:42:44Here come the reveal of the zip ties.
00:42:47Nothing that happened with the weapons went the way it was supposed to.
00:42:52Becky's got a zip tie.
00:42:53She's got to zip tie the hands together.
00:42:56Literally handcuffing Valkyria here.
00:42:59Perfectly legal, Michael Cole.
00:43:01Guess what, Valkyria?
00:43:02This is what you asked for.
00:43:05That was my idea.
00:43:08I was like, that would be a really cool moment if, even though Becky had completely incapacitated me,
00:43:14I still ended up beating her up with zip ties.
00:43:18And now she's got Becky trapped in the waist lock.
00:43:21And now Lyra Valkyria using headbutts.
00:43:23What happened, however, was when I was supposed to be stuck in the zip ties, they came off.
00:43:31Oh shit.
00:43:34What, was it off?
00:43:37Was she out of those?
00:43:38Yeah, there's still a chance.
00:43:39Well, she's got to just fucking get out of them.
00:43:41They're loose, then tell her just, they're off.
00:43:44I'm trained when something happens that's not planned.
00:43:47You throw the plan out the window, and you go, they're off.
00:43:51But in the moment when they came off, I was thinking, what if the cameras didn't catch that?
00:43:58If they miss that, then it's like, she was zip tied a second ago, and now she's not.
00:44:02Whereas if I slip them back on and hope the cameras didn't see it, same match.
00:44:08The cameras did catch it, which is another unfortunate thing from the match.
00:44:32And when I was supposed to free myself from the zip ties, they stayed on.
00:44:38We're trying to use the sharp edge of that fire extinguisher to break the zip tie here.
00:44:43I don't know why she's not using the ring like we talked about.
00:44:48Taking off the zip ties, I couldn't get them off.
00:44:50So I had to crawl under the ring and get someone to cut them.
00:44:53And it was a nightmare.
00:44:58Ugh.
00:45:01How are we doing time-wise on this?
00:45:03We are heavy as fuck.
00:45:04We're almost five minutes heavy right now.
00:45:06Fuck, you gotta go.
00:45:08I just didn't respond to things going wrong the way I wish I had.
00:45:12Lyra's gonna put her foot out on the table, run Becky backwards into the post.
00:45:16Or not.
00:45:17I'm not exactly sure what's happening.
00:45:21Fuck.
00:45:23Becky Lynch, who's got Lyra trapped, now standing on the Spanish announce table.
00:45:27And Becky Lynch, oh, with a kick right to Lyra.
00:45:31Here's the main streak from the man, Becky Lynch.
00:45:34Is Bayley in position?
00:45:36Okay, thank you.
00:45:37Here comes the finish.
00:45:39And now Becky went for the manhandle slam, nice arm drag, take down.
00:45:42And Bayley, oh my goodness.
00:45:44Took a swing of Becky Lynch, missed, and caught Valkyria.
00:45:48The manhandle slam, the man retains.
00:45:56Here is your winner.
00:45:58How heavy was that?
00:46:00At least 10 minutes.
00:46:05You've got to be tough, you've got to be talented, but most of all, you've got to be lucky.
00:46:10And Luck was smiling on Becky Lynch tonight.
00:46:14Congratulations to Becky Lynch.
00:46:16Oh, she's going to be so mad when she's going to be back.
00:46:37I don't think it was the drizzling shits.
00:46:41Like, it wasn't the worst match of all time, but I think that we had such high expectations.
00:46:48Maybe it didn't match up to that.
00:46:52Yeah, it wasn't great.
00:46:55I want to be the person that people say I absolutely loved.
00:46:58Wrestling her, she gave me my best match ever.
00:47:00And I felt like I let myself down, or didn't rise to meet the occasion.
00:47:05I didn't even want to go back up to Gorilla.
00:47:07I felt so overwhelmed.
00:47:11She was very upset with herself.
00:47:14And she just started apologizing to me.
00:47:17And I was like, it's fine.
00:47:18Like, it's fine.
00:47:19It's just wrestling.
00:47:20And then she was like, no, it's not fine.
00:47:22I need you to yell at me.
00:47:23And I was like, no, I'm never going to be upset because a wrestling move or moves don't go our
00:47:32way.
00:47:34She's great and she cares.
00:47:35But also, that mindset is why she's so great.
00:47:39And that's why she's going to continue to be great.
00:47:41And that's why she's going to get better.
00:47:43Because she doesn't want to kick love.
00:47:45She wants to be told.
00:47:46That's both a great and terrible mindset.
00:47:51Great for progress.
00:47:53Terrible for mental health.
00:47:54And I know this.
00:47:56I am this.
00:48:00I came to the back and a lot of my co-workers commended the creativity and a lot of the
00:48:06things that we did out there.
00:48:09John Cena came up to me after that match.
00:48:13He said very complimentary things about it.
00:48:15Yes.
00:48:15That shit was a chair.
00:48:16There's no fucking way I'd ever said yes to them.
00:48:19Like, that shit was violent and brutal.
00:48:22And we got Bayley back in the fray.
00:48:24And now it's like mixed emotions and shit.
00:48:26Like, it's way better than you think.
00:48:29There was no changing my mind on it.
00:48:32So that was very hard.
00:48:36Honestly, everything up to now has been so amazing.
00:48:39But, you know, when you...
00:48:42This is everything.
00:48:43Like, this is everything.
00:48:44So when it doesn't...
00:48:47When you don't feel the magic or whatever, this is the first time I've felt this way.
00:48:51So, I want me to be real.
00:48:55This is as real as I can be right now.
00:49:02Sometimes just anything that can go wrong does go wrong.
00:49:05Especially when you're, you know, using weapons and stuff.
00:49:09And you got one take and all this.
00:49:12It's not a movie.
00:49:14We don't go out and rehearse stuff like actors and stuntmen and all this.
00:49:18And sometimes it just doesn't go the way you see it in your head.
00:49:23It's just what happens sometimes.
00:49:27But it's only like...
00:49:29I think this happens to everyone at some point.
00:49:31And the only way you can really judge a talent is on what they do afterwards.
00:49:35It's how they handle that.
00:49:36And they don't do this, let me tell you.
00:49:39Like, you can feel it in the moment.
00:49:40And then you just have to pick up and move on.
00:49:41Because we've always got raw on Monday.
00:49:43We've always got the next big show.
00:49:45And no one, like, ever has the perfect streak.
00:49:48And you have to just, like, get knocked down and get back up again.
00:49:51So, if we've got raw on Monday, I'm going to have to just fucking get back up and be okay.
00:50:00Anyway, that's about as real as I can be and as much as I can say right now.
00:50:03So, I'm going to go eat a cookie or something.
00:50:08You're always telling me to be present and soak it in.
00:50:11Just had one of those moments where I want to say thanks.
00:50:15Thank you, man.
00:50:18My man, congratulations.
00:50:20Congratulations.
00:50:21Let's go.
00:50:22Let's go.
00:50:23You've made this long time, man.
00:50:24Do your thing, dude.
00:50:25You know how much I'm up with this music?
00:50:26Can't wait until you're back, dog.
00:50:28I know it, man.
00:50:29I know it.
00:50:32It is main event time for the sixth time in his career and the final time ever.
00:50:38John Cena will main event SummerSlam against the former champion, the American Nightmare, Cody Ryan.
00:50:45In the land, in my soul, every fight out of control, do it all to get them off the beat.
00:50:56Whoa, my man.
00:50:59Cena claims he saw the error of his ways, knows he has four months left here in WWE.
00:51:06All right, leave this sit for a second.
00:51:13Everybody standing.
00:51:16Fucking badass.
00:51:18All right, look.
00:51:26Ready?
00:51:28All right, go.
00:51:32All right, go.
00:51:34All right, go.
00:51:36All right, go.
00:51:45in front of 60,561 WWE fans at SummerSlam
00:51:51the old John Cena is back
00:51:54much like he proclaimed
00:51:55Friday night on SmackDown
00:51:59y'all know what time it is
00:52:01time to go to work
00:52:15being in the ring at SummerSlam
00:52:17I'm glad selfishly that I got to be part of
00:52:21the old John Cena
00:52:22stepping back into the light
00:52:30long-form storytelling
00:52:32hardest thing is to be patient
00:52:41John Cena really has tapped back into what made him great in the first place this evening
00:52:47but Superman meets Superman
00:52:51and after the show of respect, here we go
00:52:54Cody and Cena underway
00:52:57remember, street fight rules, anything goes
00:52:59you gotta win via pinfall or submission
00:53:01John Cena gonna reverse Cody's shoulder first into the steps
00:53:05John's gonna get the stairs and put him in the ring
00:53:07Cena has four months left in his career here
00:53:10he wants to go out as the champion
00:53:13and Cena
00:53:14oh!
00:53:15actually
00:53:16throwing the steps at Cody
00:53:19we're gonna work our way to Halliburton's
00:53:22crutch here
00:53:23John will grab it
00:53:26that's Tyrese Halliburton of the
00:53:28Indiana Pacers
00:53:29out after an Achilles surgery
00:53:33and now John Cena using the crutch
00:53:36again perfectly legal tonight
00:53:38anything goes for the championship
00:53:44Cody quickly
00:53:45throws Cena to the table
00:53:47the body of John Cena has been through wars for the past 20 years
00:53:51taking way more abuse than most
00:53:54eventually
00:53:55it does catch up with you
00:53:57John is in many ways doubting himself more than I believe we are doubting him
00:54:06so he is in a place now where he's saying
00:54:09I can't do what I used to do
00:54:11I can't deliver that level
00:54:15and the truth is
00:54:16he really still can
00:54:23John Cena has the experience
00:54:25to never run out of options
00:54:28he's been in the deep waters more than anyone
00:54:32oh god
00:54:33oh my god
00:54:34John Cena
00:54:34are you kidding me?
00:54:50at some point in time
00:54:53father time beats us all
00:54:55but I'm watching him do certain things
00:54:58just like he always did
00:55:00and it's magic
00:55:03how is Cena still able to do this?
00:55:24it's just a real love between him and the fans right now
00:55:28John's as popular as he's ever been
00:55:30and as over as he has ever been
00:55:32and I have to deal with that
00:55:47that's where it gets tough for fans
00:55:49moments where they see their all-time favorite
00:55:53getting beaten up
00:55:56Cody Rhodes
00:55:57oh god
00:55:58oh
00:55:59with a pile drop of a Cena
00:56:01from their side
00:56:02it's disrespectful
00:56:05Cody's face is good
00:56:06and it sees
00:56:07second guessing himself
00:56:08that I've done that
00:56:11yes
00:56:11we're going at it
00:56:12but I really love this guy too
00:56:15I know John does not like
00:56:16to tell the fans how we do it
00:56:18and I respect that
00:56:19I will tell you something
00:56:21that John Cena told me in the ring
00:56:22that I'll never forget
00:56:24they were booing
00:56:25this was right before I stomped on his ankle
00:56:27and he just looked up and said
00:56:28be yourself
00:56:30it's what you want
00:56:35this is very John
00:56:38because the moment was there to be a bad guy
00:56:41to beat him up with malice
00:56:43to beat him up and be that heel
00:56:46John can figure that out
00:56:47and realize
00:56:48no
00:56:48just be yourself
00:56:51because
00:56:51the story that we wanted to tell
00:56:54was
00:56:55two characters
00:56:56being virtuous
00:56:58let them go through absolute hell
00:57:01knowing I'm not going to stab you in the back
00:57:03but I will stab you in the front
00:57:04stay with Cody
00:57:05he's going to undo that bottom rope
00:57:08he should refuse to hand the torch
00:57:10well cool

00:57:13what exactly is Cody doing here
00:57:16screwing that turnbuckle
00:57:18the rope's down
00:57:19Cody Rhodes with that piece of steel
00:57:22to be able to tell that story through our faces
00:57:25Cody having doubts again here
00:57:27well
00:57:28I mean he's looking at the all-time great
00:57:35Cody Rhodes doing anything he can
00:57:37to try to fill the champion

00:57:53even if it's not something that is making them happy
00:57:56if you're beating up someone that they really love
00:57:58I don't want to do that with any dishonor
