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 of it myself anyway.
00:09:16I wanted to tell him because I thought it was funny.
00:09:18Because in the first moment, I didn't have any mail.
00:09:19I didn't think of it like, hey.
00:09:21I don't know.
00:09:21I believed everybody.
00:09:22It was like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:09:24Poor guy.
00:09:24Yeah, yeah.
00:09:25And you know what we're doing tonight, right?
00:09:28Yeah.
00:09:30Thanks, son.
00:09:31Good, you?
00:09:33So, aftermath.
00:09:35You got a second.
00:09:35We'll talk about it again.
00:09:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:37So, we want to paint the picture where you go over.
00:09:40But you're exhausted.
00:09:42You finally have that moment.
00:09:43We're getting Gunther out.
00:09:45You 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
00:09:55we're going off the air, you know?
00:09:57You can fucking get up on your feet.
00:09:58And you finally just give me that moment where you fucking look and just, before you even
00:10:04get it up, here he comes.
00:10:05And I feel like, you know, you take your time on all that, too.
00:10:09Like, you fucking can't fucking believe it.
00:10:12You cry if you can.
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.
00:24:02Oh 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.
00:24:43Oh, I'm sorry. Were some of my posts misleading?
00:24:47Ha ha ha!
00:24:55Oh. My. God.
00:25:00Oh, no. Oh, 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 gotta 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!
00:26:07A new World Heavyweight Champion!
00:26:14Seth Brickin' Rollins!
00:26:22Seth 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!
00:26:55This is the beauty of the work ethic.
00:27:00This crazy-ass performance art
00:27:04that we lovingly call professional wrestling.
00:27:14You're a lion, motherfucker!
00:27:18You guys, man.
00:27:19Life from the best, you 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!
00:27:27Bye-bye, Crutches!
00:27:28I got him with the lion!
00:27:29I got him with the lion!
00:27:32I got him with the lion!
00:27:34Finally getting the title
00:27:35and moving forward with myself and Heyman
00:27:37and 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
00:27:46for wherever this leads.
00:27:48I am beat the fuck up.
00:27:50I need an ice bath
00:27:51and some ice cream
00:27:52and some ice.
00:27:55It's nights like that
00:27:56that remind me of
00:28:00what I fell in love with
00:28:01to start this entire journey.
00:28:05It's a physical business
00:28:07but it's about
00:28:09it's about making people feel
00:28:10what you're feeling.
00:28:12You know?
00:28:13Sometimes you put yourself through hell
00:28:15to, uh
00:28:17for your art.
00:28:19For your art.
00:28:21Oh, 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.
00:28:33That had to feel good.
00:28:33Oh, I mean,
00:28:34yes 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
00:28:42with the tears in your eyes.
00:28:44All that shit
00:28:45was so fucking good
00:28:47and emotional.
00:28:47You'll get sick of me saying it
00:28:48but 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
00:28:54look like fucking geniuses
00:28:55for doing.
00:28:56Magic. Magic.
00:28:56Fucking A.
00:28:58So night one
00:28:59was epic.
00:29:00Went about as well
00:29:01as I think it could have.
00:29:03But we still got
00:29:04a whole nother night to go.
00:29:24I got this thing
00:29:25a long time ago
00:29:26and I finally found
00:29:26an excuse to use it
00:29:27so I was like, yes.
00:29:28I'm pumped.
00:29:29After WrestleMania
00:29:31and after losing to John Cena
00:29:33I took a little time off.
00:29:36Inhale, left arm up.
00:29:38The biggest thing from yoga
00:29:39is being present.
00:29:42My mind runs
00:29:43at a pace
00:29:44where I often
00:29:45don't take any time
00:29:47to realize
00:29:47where we're at.
00:29:50This is modern WWE
00:29:51where the athleticism
00:29:52is through the roof
00:29:53and if you're not doing
00:29:54the things
00:29:55that fix your body
00:29:57then you end up
00:29:58not being able
00:29:58to do it for very long.
00:30:03Look at WrestleMania
00:30:04and when you lose the title
00:30:06no matter what anyone tells you
00:30:07if they tell you
00:30:08it doesn't matter
00:30:09or it doesn't feel
00:30:10a certain way
00:30:10they're lying to you.
00:30:12I didn't like
00:30:13the end result
00:30:14not in terms of finish
00:30:15in terms of execution.
00:30:17I think it was
00:30:18beneath what we can do.
00:30:21I need far better
00:30:22and not just
00:30:24I need far better
00:30:24WWE needs far better.
00:30:26So I think
00:30:28that the reason
00:30:29that a lot of people
00:30:31were down
00:30:32on the
00:30:33Cena-Cody
00:30:35WrestleMania match
00:30:37was
00:30:38was that it didn't
00:30:40translate
00:30:40and it didn't feel
00:30:41genuine
00:30:42because you know what
00:30:43John
00:30:44they love you
00:30:45they appreciate you
00:30:46you've done
00:30:47maybe more than
00:30:49anybody's ever done
00:30:50for this industry
00:30:51and you're not
00:30:52going to be able
00:30:53to take that away
00:30:53from them
00:30:54they're not
00:30:55going to hate you
00:30:56like you want them
00:30:57to hate you
00:30:58it's not going to happen
00:30:59just go out there
00:31:01and tear it up
00:31:02that's what they want
00:31:04if people were disappointed
00:31:06let's round this out
00:31:07let's remind them
00:31:08that WWE always does have
00:31:09not just a happy ending
00:31:11but a conclusion
00:31:14the goal would be
00:31:15to get back
00:31:16to the title match
00:31:17wrestling against
00:31:19John Cena
00:31:19at SummerSlam
00:31:21Namaste
00:31:22Namaste

00:31:25wanted to make up
00:31:26for the Mania match
00:31:27bad
00:31:28he felt he owed
00:31:30Cody that
00:31:32the only thing
00:31:33left to
00:31:33was to determine
00:31:34how and when
00:31:35we were going to get
00:31:36John Cena
00:31:37back over to being
00:31:38classic babyface
00:31:39John Cena
00:31:40John Cena's going to
00:31:41defend that title

00:31:52there
00:31:52let the end of the
00:31:54heel run

00:32:05coming to
00:32:07Cody's aid

00:32:20and I got
00:32:21ahead of myself
00:32:22here
00:32:23and
00:32:23I realized
00:32:24that I thought
00:32:25you weren't the guy

00:32:27and I fucking
00:32:28support you

00:32:33clean
00:32:33as a babyface
00:32:35is what we were
00:32:36originally thinking
00:32:37and is that the
00:32:38is that the scenario
00:32:42we didn't know
00:32:42at the time
00:32:43Cody was going to be
00:32:43then going away
00:32:44to make a movie
00:32:45for six weeks
00:32:46I got to get
00:32:47with John

00:33:04got me sight unseen
00:33:06which I hope
00:33:07I don't blow it

00:33:17before

00:34:53to use the thing
00:34:54in the match
00:34:54or like
00:34:55sure
00:34:55okay cool
00:34:56I also don't want
00:34:57to put you in a spot
00:34:58where you feel
00:35:00uncomfortable
00:35:01no not at all
00:35:02I'm excited you are
00:35:03awesome
00:35:03I think the story
00:35:05that we wanted
00:35:06to tell was
00:35:10we're willing
00:35:11to both go
00:35:12to the lengths
00:35:12that a street fight
00:35:13demands
00:35:15but we don't have
00:35:16to do it
00:35:16without respect
00:35:17I wanted every bit
00:35:19of it to be
00:35:20a warrior's death
00:35:22if you're refusing
00:35:23to hand the torch
00:35:24I'm gonna murder
00:35:25you for it
00:35:26I'm gonna take it
00:35:27by force
00:35:30some of these versions
00:35:31where I'm standing
00:35:32there and watching
00:35:32them come up
00:35:33it's a lot of
00:35:34just looking at it
00:35:35with love
00:35:36reverence
00:35:36but also like
00:35:37we're at it
00:35:38I think so
00:35:38and also
00:35:39I don't know
00:35:39is there a little
00:35:40salute in there
00:35:42that whole fucking
00:35:43I love you
00:35:44but I'm sorry
00:35:44you know
00:35:54this was the big finale
00:35:57to me and Becky's feud
00:35:59the ultimate battle
00:36:01at the end of our story
00:36:05I felt a lot of pressure
00:36:06going into this one
00:36:07because it was a
00:36:09no disqualification match
00:36:11the main event
00:36:12on the show
00:36:13was John Cena
00:36:14and Cody Rhodes
00:36:15also with a
00:36:17no disqualification
00:36:17stipulation
00:36:18how are you doing
00:36:19you look so cool
00:36:20so it was very hard
00:36:22to come up with
00:36:22some unique ideas
00:36:24I get a chain
00:36:27tie it around her mouth
00:36:28pull her
00:36:30pull her into the steps
00:36:31knock the steps
00:36:32and we are using
00:36:34the box
00:36:34right there
00:36:35maybe we don't do that
00:36:37so in what we call
00:36:38gimmick matches
00:36:39you know
00:36:39no DQ
00:36:40street fight
00:36:41they're hard to prepare for
00:36:42because
00:36:43you can
00:36:44talk them through
00:36:45you can't actually
00:36:47go through them
00:36:49at full speed
00:36:50because
00:36:50you have to save that
00:36:52for the match
00:36:52otherwise you're going to
00:36:53kill the guy or girl
00:36:54before the match
00:36:55and they're not going to
00:36:56be able to perform
00:36:56to their best
00:36:57so you can't do that
00:36:59maybe sometimes
00:37:00maybe
00:37:01how would she get out
00:37:03you get one try
00:37:04at this stuff
00:37:05and it's in front
00:37:06of 60,000 people
00:37:08we're not doing
00:37:08the old music

00:41:07the women's
00:41:09intercontinental
00:41:10champion
00:41:11the man
00:41:14Becky
00:41:15Lynch
00:41:20Becky Lynch
00:41:21has been the standard
00:41:22of Irish dominance
00:41:24for the past 10 years
00:41:26and she is not ready
00:41:27to relinquish that role
00:41:29to a young
00:41:30up-and-coming pretender
00:41:32in Lyra Valkyria
00:41:33not sure I would use
00:41:34the word pretender
00:41:36when it comes to
00:41:37Lyra Valkyria
00:41:39in the SummerSlam match
00:41:41I think I'd already
00:41:42lost the battle
00:41:42with that one
00:41:43before I went
00:41:44through the curtain
00:41:44I just didn't switch on
00:41:48I felt a lot of pressure
00:41:51I'm always able
00:41:53to live in the moment
00:41:54and for that match
00:41:55I just couldn't
00:41:57introducing the challenger
00:42:02Lyra Valkyria
00:42:05when I was making my entrance
00:42:07I was just thinking
00:42:09let's just get the bell ringing
00:42:11let's just do this
00:42:12and that's how I knew
00:42:14I was not in the zone
00:42:15that I needed to be
00:42:18anything that could have
00:42:19gone wrong
00:42:20went wrong
00:42:21Lyra now
00:42:22right to the midsection
00:42:23of Becky Lynch
00:42:24one of the first things
00:42:25I threw Becky
00:42:26into the photographer
00:42:27Becky
00:42:28oh
00:42:29that poor
00:42:30still photo man
00:42:33she said sorry
00:42:34to him
00:42:35she's so nice
00:42:36I was like
00:42:37oh sorry
00:42:39dangerous place
00:42:40to be for anyone
00:42:41near this ringside area
00:42:44here come the reveal
00:42:45of the zip ties
00:42:46nothing
00:42:48that happened
00:42:48with the weapons
00:42:49went
00:42:50the way
00:42:50it was supposed to
00:42:52Becky's got a zip tie
00:42:53and she's got a zip tie
00:42:54the hands together
00:42:55literally handcuffing
00:42:57Valkyria here
00:42:58perfectly legal
00:43:00Michael Cole
00:43:01guess what Valkyria
00:43:02this is what you asked for
00:43:05that was
00:43:06my idea
00:43:07I was like
00:43:08that would be
00:43:09a really cool moment
00:43:10if
00:43:10even though Becky
00:43:12had completely
00:43:12incapacitated me
00:43:13I still ended up
00:43:15beating her up
00:43:16with zip ties
00:43:17and now she's got
00:43:19Becky trapped
00:43:20in the waist lock
00:43:20and now
00:43:21Lyra Valkyria
00:43:22using headbutts
00:43:23what happened
00:43:24however
00:43:24was
00:43:25when I was supposed
00:43:26to be stuck
00:43:27in the zip ties
00:43:27they came off
00:43:31oh shit
00:43:34what
00:43:35was it off
00:43:37was she out of those
00:43:38yeah
00:43:38she gotta just
00:43:40fucking get out of them
00:43:41they're loose
00:43:41then tell her just
00:43:42if they're off
00:43:44I'm trained
00:43:45when something happens
00:43:46that's not planned
00:43:47you throw the plan
00:43:48out the window
00:43:49and you go
00:43:50they're off
00:43:51but in the moment
00:43:52when they came off
00:43:53I was thinking
00:43:55what if the cameras
00:43:56didn't catch that
00:43:58if they miss that
00:43:59then it's like
00:44:00she was zip tied
00:44:01a second ago
00:44:01and now she's not
00:44:02whereas if I slip
00:44:03them back on
00:44:04and hope the cameras
00:44:04didn't see it
00:44:06same match
00:44:08the cameras did catch it
00:44:10which is another
00:44:11unfortunate thing
00:44:12from the match
00:44:32and when I was supposed
00:44:33to free myself
00:44:34from the zip ties
00:44:35they stayed on
00:44:48taking off the zip ties
00:44:49I couldn't get them off
00:44:50so I had to crawl
00:44:51under the ring
00:44:51and get someone
00:44:52to cut them
00:44:54and it was a nightmare
00:45:08I just didn't respond
00:45:09to things going wrong
00:45:10the way
00:45:11I wish I had
00:45:12Lyra's gonna put her foot
00:45:13out on the table
00:45:14run Becky
00:45:14backwards into the post
00:45:16or not
00:45:17I'm not exactly sure
00:45:19what's happening
00:45:20fuck
00:45:23Becky Lynch
00:45:23who's got Lyra trapped
00:45:24now standing
00:45:25on the Spanish
00:45:26announce table
00:45:26and Becky Lynch

00:46:08but most of all
00:46:09you've got to be lucky
00:46:10and luck was smiling
00:46:11on Becky Lynch tonight
00:46:13congratulations
00:46:14to Becky Lynch
00:46:15oh she's gonna be so mad
00:46:17when she comes back
00:46:38I don't think it was the drizzling shits
00:46:41like it wasn't the worst match
00:46:43of all time
00:46:43but I think that we had
00:46:45such high expectations
00:46:48maybe it didn't match up to that
00:46:52yeah
00:46:53wasn't great
00:46:55I want to be the person
00:46:56that people say
00:46:57I absolutely loved
00:46:58wrestling her
00:46:58she gave me my best match ever
00:47:00and I felt like
00:47:01and I felt like I let myself down
00:47:02or it 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
00:47:16and I was like it's fine
00:47:18like it's it's fine
00:47:19it's just wrestling
00:47:20and then she was like
00:47:21no it's not fine
00:47:22I need you to yell at me
00:47:23and I was like
00:47:24no I'm never going to be upset
00:47:27because a wrestling move
00:47:30or moves don't go our way
00:47:34she's great
00:47:35and she cares
00:47:35but also
00:47:36that mindset
00:47:38is 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
00:47:47that's both a great
00:47:49and terrible mindset
00:47:50great for progress
00:47:52terrible for mental health
00:47:54and I know this
00:47:55I am this
00:47:59I came to the back
00:48:01and a lot of my co-workers
00:48:03commended the creativity
00:48:05and a lot of the things
00:48:06that we did out there
00:48:09John Cena
00:48:11came up to me after that match
00:48:13he said very complimentary things about it
00:48:15that shit was a chair
00:48:16there's no fucking way
00:48:17I'd ever said yes to them
00:48:19like that shit was violent
00:48:21and brutal
00:48:21and we got Bailey back in the fray
00:48:23and now it's like
00:48:24mixed emotions and shit
00:48:26like
00:48:27it's way better than you think
00:48:29there was no changing my mind on it
00:48:31so that was very hard
00:48:36honestly everything up to now
00:48:38has been so amazing
00:48:39but you know
00:48:40this is everything
00:48:43so when it's
00:48:46when you don't feel the magic
00:48:48or whatever
00:48:49this is the first time
00:48:50I've felt this way
00:48:51so uh
00:48:54I want me to be real
00:48:55that's as real as I can
00:48:56can be right now
00:49:02sometimes just anything
00:49:03that can go wrong
00:49:04does go wrong
00:49:05especially when you're
00:49:07you know
00:49:07using weapons and stuff
00:49:09and you got one take
00:49:11and all this
00:49:12it's not a movie
00:49:13we don't go out
00:49:14and rehearse stuff
00:49:15like actors

00:49:32you can really judge
00:49:33a talent is
00:49:34on what they do

00:53:47the body of John Cena
00:53:49has been through wars
00:53:50for the past 20 years
00:53:51taken way more abuse
00:53:53than most
00:53:54eventually
00:53:55it does catch up with you
00:53:57John is
00:53:59in many ways
00:54:02doubting himself
00:54:03more than I believe
00:54:05we are doubting him
00:54:06so he is
00:54:08in a place now
00:54:09where 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
00:54:24has the experience
00:54:25to never run out
00:54:26of options
00:54:28he's been in the deep waters
00:54:30more 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
00:54:57do certain things
00:54:58just like he always did
00:55:00and it's magic
00:55:03how is Cena still able
00:55:04to do this
00:55:24it's just a real love
00:55:25between him and the fans
00:55:26right now
00:55:28John's as popular
00:55:29as he's ever been
00:55:30and as over
00:55:31as he has ever been
00:55:32and I have to deal
00:55:34with that
00:55:47that's where it gets
00:55:48tough for fans
00:55:50moments where they see
00:55:51their all-time favorite
00:55:53getting beaten up
00:55:56Cody Rhodes
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
00:56:13this guy too
00:56:15I know John does not like
00:56:16to tell the fans
00:56:17how we do it
00:56:18and I respect that
00:56:19I will tell you something
00:56:21that John Cena
00:56:21told me in the ring
00:56:22that I'll never forget
00:56:24they were booing
00:56:25this is right before
00:56:26I stomped on his ankle
00:56:27and he just looked up
00:56:28and said be yourself
00:56:35this is very John
00:56:38because the moment
00:56:40was there to be a bad guy
00:56:41to beat him up with malice
00:56:43to beat him up
00:56:44and 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
00:56:53we wanted to tell
00:56:54was
00:56:55two characters
00:56:56being virtuous
00:56:58let them go through
00:56:59absolute hell
00:57:01knowing I'm not going
00:57:02to stab you in the back
00:57:03but I will stab you
00:57:04in the front
00:57:04stay with Cody
00:57:05he's going to undo

00:57:12take it by force

00:57:55making them happy
