01:11It's hard to say, I got no more!
01:14You need to burn my condition!
01:16And on this shit, with no real kids, you're all over with!
01:19I gotta go straight! I'm brushing my back, I'm cold, yeah!
01:23And now, they're gonna never better get through!
01:25So, I never catch me in the next time!
01:27I swear!
01:28You know you're a mother!
01:29I'm falling down, yo!
01:31I'm gonna never catch me in the next time!
01:34I'm gonna never catch me in the next time!
01:36You can't see me when my time is left, ass!
01:39It's the way it's time, go shut it down, ass!
01:42You can't see me when my time is down!
01:44Uh, it's gonna be, it's gonna be!
01:475 hundred dollars, probably days, 10 hands, but I'm gonna take!
02:07This is just so cool, honestly.
02:15One of the great things about being on this side now is I really can lean into moments
02:21like the one you just allowed me to be part of.
02:24Because I know there's nobody coming down to kick my teeth in.
02:26So thank you so much.
02:29Truly, thank you.
02:47A sold-out house full of gratitude and energy, and man, I love to hear it.
02:56It's moments like this that have had me thinking ever since my last match,
03:00what will be the next phase of my WWE career?
03:11And I expected this.
03:15Go for that! Go for that! Go for that! Go for that! Go for that! Go for that!
03:24Go for that! Go for that! Go for that! Go for that!
03:26You don't know how good that makes me feel.
03:29And I think a lot, honestly, I think a lot about that last match.
03:33I think a lot about that last evening.
03:42I hear you. There were some people who were upset.
03:45I, for one, I was truly happy.
03:49Honestly, I reflect a lot on that evening, and I couldn't be more happy.
03:53Because what was most important to me about that night
03:56is we all made it something bigger.
03:59If you look at the night, in its entirety, it became an evening of opportunity.
04:05I made sure whoever my opponent was, they had to win their way in to earn the spot.
04:11I kindly asked WWE superstars if they would be gracious enough to give opportunity,
04:18which they willingly did, to NXT superstars so they could be in front of a crowd like this
04:24and show the world what they got.
04:29And think about it. Think about it.
04:31On that night, on that grand stage, for the first time, we saw Sol Ruka.
04:40We saw Javon Evans.
04:44Yo.
04:47We saw Oba Femi.
05:06Oba, I hope you're listening.
05:08I hope you're listening, because this is what the energy sounds like.
05:11Oba Femi debuts in December, and four months later, he is strutting
05:20and kicking Brock Lesnar's ass at WrestleMania.
05:28So then it hit me.
05:30I was like, damn, we got to do this again.
05:35So we are.
05:38I am so honored tonight to announce to you the John Cena Classic.
05:49An entire evening of the best of today competing with the best of tomorrow.
05:55An entire event where WWE superstars and NXT superstars get an opportunity to give you
06:03all they have in hopes to be crowned a champion.
06:10That's right.
06:12We are making history here tonight because we have a brand new event
06:16and the debut of a brand new championship in the WWE.
06:28And not just any championship.
06:30This is an event, and this is a championship I am personally putting my name on.
06:39So I am going to strive for a certain level of excellence,
06:44and I'm also going to do everything I can to make it special.
06:49I have said time and time again,
06:52the biggest superstar in the WWE is the WWE Universe.
07:04So on top of a new event, on top of a new championship,
07:09for the first time in history,
07:12your voice will be heard louder than ever before.
07:17Because you, the audience,
07:21the fan will vote to crown the champion of the John Cena Classic.
07:33And every participant qualifies,
07:37which also means for the first time in history,
07:42a superstar might not win their match,
07:46but their hustle could earn your respect,
07:49win your heart, win your vote,
07:52and you can still crown them the John Cena Classic champion.
08:01This is a single event that embodies everything I stand for,
08:06and everything I value,
08:07and I cannot stress to you how important it is to me.
08:11I promise to give you everything I have
08:14to make this an experience that goes beyond just one.
08:17I don't want to do this for just one year.
08:19I want to do it for two years, five years, ten years, thirty years.
08:24The sky is the limit on this one.
08:29I want to take one second to thank the superstars like Obafemi
08:33that busted their ass on that Saturday
08:35to make this crazy idea reality.
08:40Hell, let him hear you.
08:41He's watching.
08:43Let him hear you.
08:56I wanted to take a second to thank the WWE
09:00for being gracious enough to take a chance on this crazy idea.
09:03Man, I hope it works.
09:05I want to thank everybody watching at home.
09:08Most importantly, I want to thank the city of Tampa Bay.
09:15There's a lot of you folks in this crowd tonight
09:18that know this city means a lot to me for a whole lot of reasons.
09:24And you can add this one to the list.
09:28Thank you so much for your attention.
09:31Thank you so much for your time.
09:33Thank you for your enthusiasm.
09:35Thank you for your energy.
09:37Thank you for the noise.
09:45It does sound like you're ready.
09:49I will see you at the John Cena Classic.

13:15All right, now let's check in with our post-show panel.
13:54Prince vs. Jacob Batu.
14:05The Tribal Chief is back at the head of the table.
14:14I miss this.
14:17I'm not asking you to serve me.
14:20I'm just asking you to be my blood and stand with me.
14:25There can only be a couple reasons you would come out here to acknowledge me.
14:30Nah, that ain't it.
14:33Before WWE, you didn't call me.
14:36Jimmy didn't call me.
14:38Jay didn't call me.
14:39So when y'all was up here running the bloodline, I was broke, grinding.
14:45I need that title.
14:50Maybe you can beat me, Jacob.
14:53But I'm not sure you're ready.
14:55Little cousin.
14:57You don't deserve it.
14:59You haven't earned it.
15:02Allowing you to compete against me, that's nepotism.
15:06I can't do this.
15:10The target does, Greg.
15:14It's gonna take everything, everything from you.
15:22He's dangerous, Olsen.
15:24Even if I gotta run through my own blood, I am desperate.
15:31So I have no other choice but to take you out, take this title, and everything that the Tribal Chief
15:41has.
15:43The Tongan death grip.
15:45You don't do that to family.
15:47You don't do that to your Tribal Chief.
15:51In our family, we're equals.
15:54We're of the same blood.
15:56But in this ring, Jacob, you're beneath me.
16:06I'll do anything for my family.
16:09The Tribal Chief is fading.
16:16Even if I gotta go through you.
16:22I need that title.
16:32I need that title.
16:53I need that title.
16:54I need that title.
16:55I need that title.
16:59I need that title.
17:00I need that title.
17:01I need that title.
17:03I need that title.
17:04I need that title.
17:04I need that title.
17:05I need that title.
17:05I need that title.
17:05I need that title.
17:07I need that title.
17:08I need that title.
17:12ladies and gentlemen there is significance to the lay that is around the neck of jacob
17:17partu tonight it was put together it was made by the daughter of haku haku is the uncle of jacob
17:26partu and the man who invented the famed tongan death grip it is the rare move it's normally not
17:34used jacob partu has revitalized it but he committed a sin in the eyes of roman reigns
17:40in the family you never use the tongan death grip against a family member yeah i don't agree with
17:46that philosophy whatsoever yeah you can use all your moves against me except for that one that
17:52hurts the most and that i can't get out of well that's like jacob partu said to roman reigns hey
17:58you're not allowed to spear me you're not allowed to use a superman punch against me doesn't work
18:03for me not when the world heavyweight championship is on the line the tongan death grip is a devastating
18:09nerve hold you grab the adams apple you cut the wind off to your opponent and cause them
18:13to pass out roman reigns has felt that move the past couple of weeks on monday night raw
18:19if jacob partu locks it in tonight we could have a new world champion
18:32around that guy
18:34and that's the big one
18:35and that's the big one
18:38yes
18:38is
18:45that's the big one
18:47the big one
18:48the big one
20:53He's retained the world title at least five different times in this city, yet tonight
20:59he goes into one of his most personal battles in a family civil war that was started by
21:05his cousin in the ring, Jacob Fatu.
21:27The warning from Jacob Fatu last night.
21:30Telling his cousins, the Usos, to stay out of this tonight, or Jacob will burn the entire
21:39family to the ground.
22:14Back in 2012, it was the same year Jacob Fatu, fresh out of prison, would start his wrestling
22:22career.
22:23Toiling on indie promotions like West Coast Pro and House of Glory and Game Changer throughout
22:30many decades before finally arriving on the scene here a couple of years ago.
22:38And tonight marks the first match in Jacob Fatu's career for a world championship, a title that
22:48Roman Reigns once held for nearly four years.
23:00Let's head up to the great Alicia Taylor.
23:07The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the World Heavyweight Championship.
23:25Introducing the Challenger from Sacramento, California, weighing in her 291 pounds, the Samoan Werewolf, Jacob Fatu.
23:53And his opponent, from Pensacola, Florida, weighing in her 265 pounds, he is the World Heavyweight Champion.
24:16The O.T.C. Roman Reigns!
24:29Jacob Fatu has explained why he is bitter toward his cousin.
24:34For the years that Roman Reigns ruled with the bloodline at his side, Jacob Fatu was never invited to join
24:41the family.
24:42Finally, Roman Reigns never brought Jacob Fatu aboard.
24:46That is where the issues lie with Jacob.
24:49For Roman Reigns, he believes he made Jacob wait.
24:52They need to earn his opportunity to come aboard, to come to WWE.
24:56And now that he's here, Roman Reigns believes he's been slapped in his face by his cousin and his family
25:01member, Jacob Fatu.
25:03Roman Reigns!
25:05Roman Reigns!
25:09Roman Reigns!
25:11Roman Reigns!
25:14Roman Reigns!
25:14Roman Reigns faces a very dangerous, a very disturbed, and an unhinged competitor, who, as he glances way down at
25:26the World Heavyweight Championship, has said he needs this title.
25:30He doesn't want it. He needs it for his family. This is a man who, when he got out of
25:34prison, was sleeping on a mattress on a floor with his wife and seven kids.
25:39Well, when you starve like Jacob Fatu had to starve for many years, in part because Roman Reigns never invited
25:47him into the fray here as part of the bloodline, that is a hunger that will live with you forever.
25:53It doesn't matter how many times Jacob Fatu feasts, he will always fight hungry, and he's fighting hungry tonight.
26:04And I gotta tell you right now, I seriously question that Roman Reigns didn't think that Jacob Fatu had earned
26:11that invite.
26:12For me, he just knew that Jacob Fatu was the only family member he could not control. Jacob Fatu makes
26:20his own rules.
26:21Oh, Jacob Fatu forced Roman's hand with the Tongan death grip, forcing Roman Reigns to take this match up and
26:29off the shoulder tackle. Fatu right back up to his feet.
26:34Roman is questioned whether Jacob Fatu is up for the responsibility of being champion.
26:40That's just mind games from Roman Reigns if you ask me.
26:44Clearly, Jacob Fatu is more than capable of beating anybody in WWE, and Roman knows it.
27:00it would not be a good night for roman if he lost his championship a month after winning it
27:07at wrestlemania to his family member jacob fatu so if you're roman how do you keep the title
27:11tonight you avoid the tongan death grip at all costs we've seen the past couple of weeks just
27:17how devastating it is it is a visceral hold you don't just feel pain you feel your life slipping
27:24away and it has put the fear into roman reigns and i guess on the other hand jacob's got to
27:28lock in
27:29that death grip to have a chance to win the title and there's a shoulder tackle shocking reigns a bit
27:36jacob fatu all gas no breaks that's how he lives his life lead for him now by reigns roman with
27:41a
27:41clothesline and jacob's still on his feet very hungry jacob fatu and when you're hungry wade you're
27:50dangerous hungry motivated and as terrifying and unhinged a force as we have seen in many years
27:58in this industry roman reigns dumped rape to our announce table here and jacob fatu now gonna fly
28:03with a suicide dive and now the tongan death grip jacob fatu his eyes rolling back in his head
28:09driving roman now into the post with that death grip again applied oh what a shock this would be
28:15he's fading trying to suck the life out of roman reigns in the early part of this matchup and that
28:21was a little warning wade that was a warning shot across the bow for jacob fatu that's the master
28:26key for defeating roman reigns and it is the right hand of jacob fatu luckily for reigns that was
28:32applied outside the ring by the time he got back in the ring but immediately on the offense yeah
28:37got a little bit overzealous there and roman reigns able to take control yeah we know look you can see
28:43how devastating that move is roman knows it looks like he's going for that hand well you have to
28:47right you got to take it out of the equation to damage the hand you can't apply the death grip
28:51and again roman reigns trying to punish fatu here will take away the biggest and right into the steel
28:57post it could be a shattered metacarpal right off the bat roman reigns looking on as jacob fatu
29:04grabs his hand roman continues the attack and again you had no way roman reigns is going to have
29:11some sort of way to counter the tongan death grip well you know full well roman is as smart as
29:17they
29:17come and he's shown it off in the early goings here
29:26it is loud in tampa 15,215 on hand sold out this is our main event for the world heavyweight
29:34title
29:34roman reigns a seven-time world champion jacob fatu in his first ever wwe world championship match
29:42let me ask you this cole if jacob fatu does somehow win the world heavyweight championship
29:47who is the real chief of the samoan dynasty well i mean jacob fatu has a claim right well you
29:55have to
29:55be how can you be the chief of the entire family if a family member is better than you in
30:01that ring
30:01yeah but what if i don't think it holds up what if jacob loses will he acknowledge the tribal chief
30:06i mean i can't imagine jacob fatu acknowledging anybody but that is what roman reigns is demanding
30:12you know jacob fatu falling in line though i don't see it
30:18something has to give though
30:21these two have been in the ring together before but in tag team action first time ever tonight one-on
30:26-one
30:27as roman reigns now looks to punish jacob fatu who just grabs the arm of roman
30:32and neutralizes the champion and fatu with a wicked short clothesline jacob fatu is just made of stone
30:42immediately checking it on that right hand thoughts whirring through the mind of the werewolf
30:47hey ask drew mcintyre what fatu's all about that unsanctioned match at wrestlemania
30:51we haven't seen drew since i've been texting drew about zero replies who know what who knows what
30:56state mcintyre is currently in mentally and physically after that matchup you're used to that
31:01and fatu now dragging roman back to his feet trying to take control of the world champion
31:08roman driven shoulder first to the post and jacob fatu suddenly has taken over
31:16and then it's been modus operandum for jacob fatu since arriving
31:20in wwe do you think roman saw this coming
31:25i think he absolutely knew this was coming this is why he wanted jacob fatu nowhere near wwe
31:32jacob's got to be careful now he's playing to the crowd he's got the champ in trouble he's got a
31:37bit
31:37get his focus back on roman well just imagine how high the address there you go perfect point there
31:42jacob fatu roman reigns was waiting he was waiting for jacob to make that mistake and here comes the
31:48world champ all the physical gifts in the world for fatu but there's no cheating experience at the top
31:53but when it comes to experience at the top pacing yourself poise timing nobody beats roman reigns
32:01roman into the corner again
32:05and jacob fatu goes down off the big boot
32:10and this is where confidence may start ebbing away from jacob fatu roman knows what he's doing
32:17here and here we go locked and loaded roman reigns superman punch into the cover for the retention
32:25and jacob kicks out at one and right back to his feet roman can't believe it
32:35roman looks like he's seen a ghost what a lap job
32:50and roman now blocks by fatu jacob fatu with another right hand
32:57roman sent across the ring telegraphed by jacob and that kick just fired him up even more
33:03does everything it's just bouncing off the samoan werewolf off the running senton to roman reigns
33:09normal rules of physicality don't apply inside that ring when fatu is present
33:14he reminds me a lot of the late great umaga fatu now taking the fight to the world champion
33:33and speaking of umaga
33:44what a frightening sight
33:47and now you know why so many people have called it favor of jacob
33:50superman punch again by roman collapses into the cover is it enough this time this time two and a
33:55half referee sean bennett right there make no mistake that was a burst of speed and energy
34:00from roman reigns but roman is hurting in a big way just when fatu built a head of steam
34:06catching him cold and praying for a victory was roman reigns but both men now in a heap
34:13it has been an amazing night an electric night today in tampa
34:19wwe backlash sold out 15,215 in the house for our main event roman jacob for the world title
34:29what an opportunity for jacob fatu
34:32this is roman just processing information as the match continues where are my strengths lying now
34:37where are my weaknesses what about my opponents how do i beat this guy roman reigns
34:43now there's the drive by classic reigns the back of the head of jacob fatu catching those steel steps
34:50it's like a double whammy there and roman's got some ideas here
34:53gotta look like the look at roman reigns eyes as he now tears apart our announce table here at ringside
35:00this is where things turn really ugly in a hurry and with these kind of
35:05compared to oh god oh no jacob fatu tongue and death grips in
35:09jacob with a tongue and death grip locked in on roman reigns who may be fading here
35:14jacob with roman up top and a power bomb through the table to roman reigns
35:24and jacob's got to get the champ back in the ring wade he's got to get the champ back in
35:29the ring
35:30is jacob fatu locked in on winning this match or is he getting carried away with physical destruction here
35:37well he's got to destroy roman to win the damn match at a count of seven now
35:40roman step back into the ring jacob fatu's got a chance jacob fatu with a massive opportunity here
35:52roman reigns trying to drag himself somehow up in the corner as jacob fatu waits for an attack
36:00spare spare by reigns cover jacob kicked out
36:10well what a roll of the dice from roman reigns this desperation spear connecting flush
36:17should be the engine net not when you're in there with the werewolf
36:21roman reigns learning a lot about his cousin tonight as is the 15 000 plus here in tampa
36:28the millions watching around the world world heavyweight championship at stake
36:32reigns in fatu
36:44and that spear knocked the wind out of fatu and then the unbelievable kick out by the samoan werewolf
36:51that was right after roman reigns have been powerbombed through our announce table
36:59that's why roman is who he is bouncing back from that
37:03roman trying to feed off the wwe fans here tonight
37:08reigns has walked this path of maximum threat more than anyone usually surviving
37:15yeah but can jacob fatu survive after the spear fatu dragging himself up in the corner
37:21roman reigns with the roar

39:01roman reigns got the knees up
39:02and roman may have done damage
39:03well fatu got distracted by people in the crowd
39:06yelling at him
39:07and that beat may have been enough
39:09for roman to get a knee up

39:13and again it was the second time tonight
39:14fatu got caught
39:15taunting with the crowd

39:53good

39:54good
39:54good
40:22And Roman dropped in the corner.
40:24Back in and on up.
40:26Jacob Fatu.
40:27Big fight field tonight in Tampa.
40:29Another one by Fatu.
40:32Relentlessly pummeling the tribal chief who he refuses to acknowledge.
40:36And now calling for the Tongan death grip.
40:40He's already made Roman pass out once last week.
40:44Looking to do it again.
40:45And this time for the world title.
40:47Roman's tank is completely dropped.
40:49There it is.
40:50Tongan death grip is in.
40:52Roman reigns struggling.
40:54Middle of the ring.
40:55Does he have a counter?
40:56And life force slipping away for the tribal chief.
41:00And with it his grip on the world heavyweight championship.
41:04And Roman may be fading.
41:05It's in locked in tight.
41:06Cutting the breath off.
41:08Cutting the air to the lungs of Roman reigns.
41:10Who's now down to one knee.
41:12The champion fading.
41:13The official Sean Bennett right in his face.
41:15Trying to see if Roman reigns is going to give up.
41:17And give the title to Fatu.
41:19And those eyes have turned into deep black pits on Roman reigns.
41:24Oh God.
41:24Roman may be out.
41:25Oh no.
41:26Roman reigns may be out.
41:27It may be Jacob Fatu's moment here.
41:30Roman reigns said no way.
41:32One last gasp for the champ.
41:35Tapping into that something extra that puts guys like Roman above and beyond everyone.
41:41And the referee just got squashed in the corner.
41:45A bit of right to the eyes of Jacob Fatu.
41:47Perhaps inadvertent in the process.
41:49But he did the job.
41:50And a superman punch.
41:51Fatu still on his feet.
41:53Roman reigns with another one.
41:55Fatu still on his feet.
41:58What does Roman have to do to put Fatu down?
42:01Maybe mission impossible Cole.
42:03Big kick.
42:04Oh and a superman punch off the pop-up.
42:07Smear by Reigns.
42:09Cover.
42:11One, two, three.
42:13Oh.
42:14A kick out of two and a half.
42:18Now Roman can't believe it.
42:20Way more than two and a half Cole.
42:22My God.
42:23I thought that was it.
42:24The pop-up.
42:25A great reaction superman punch followed by a flushed spear.
42:31And somehow a kick out.
42:33And damn, that one was close.
42:35It is loud tonight in Tampa.
42:39A World Heavyweight Championship match that is not disappointed.
42:43Loud in Tampa.
42:44But you need calm in the mind if you're a competitor at this point.
42:48And the calm is disappearing.
42:50And now again.
42:52Jacob Fatu with a tongue and death grip.
42:54Locked in once again on the champion.
42:56Roman Ballery got the referee dropped his gun.
42:58Wait up.
42:59Now Roman grabbing at the official Sean Bennett again.
43:01Roman now into the corner.
43:03And the turnbuckle ripped off.
43:05The turnbuckle pad taken off.
43:07The turnbuckle now has been exposed.
43:09And Jacob Fatu.
43:11Head first into the turnbuckle.
43:13Spear by Reigns.
43:14Cover now.
43:15By Roman Reigns.
43:16Roman retains the title.
43:21Here is your winner.
43:23And still the World Heavyweight Champion.
43:28The OTC.
43:32Roman Reigns.
43:37Wade, the champion Roman Reigns survived.
43:40I have no clue how Roman just won that matchup with a life getting squeezed out of his jugular by
43:50Jacob Fatu.
43:51I mean, you tell me who looks like the winner here.
43:53Roman Reigns is specked.
43:55Well, desperately Reigns grabbed the turnbuckle, which exposed the steal.
43:59In a low rate to capitalize it.
44:01Now Jacob Fatu.
44:02Jacob Fatu now is enraged.
44:05Jacob's completely lost it.
44:06We said he's unhinged.
44:08Get out of there, Bennett.
44:09Gotta do you any good being in the ring.
44:11Get out of there.
44:11There's no talking sense to the Samoan Werewolf.
44:15And now the target death grip again on Roman Reigns.
44:18Roman defenseless here.
44:19He barely survived this match.
44:21The official trying to get Jacob off the champion.
44:25Hey!
44:26Hey!
44:27Hey!
44:29Oh, no!
44:30Come on, now!
44:34I mean, the disappointment for Fatu just too much.
44:38Unfathomable in his mind that he was not gonna win here tonight.
44:42Well, Jacob Fatu, he called a shot.
44:44He stepped up.
44:46And if you come at the cane, you better not miss.
44:48And that's what Jacob did tonight.
44:50And now Jacob Fatu wiping out officials out here.
44:53Our general manager, Adam Pearce from Monday Night Raw, out here as well.
44:56Well, this is why so many people didn't want Fatu in WWE.
45:00He cannot be controlled.
45:02Oh, he's unhinged.
45:03He's an absolute menace.
45:05And Fatu back into the tongue and death grip on Roman Reigns.
45:08A devil has been awoken here tonight.
45:11Jacob Fatu has just gone completely thorough in that ring.
45:15And you're gonna need both of them.
45:16Oh, and look at Roman.
45:17Roman foaming at the mouth.
45:19His airways are cut off.
45:20They've got to get Fatu off him before some serious damage is done to the tribal chief here.
45:37This is the Jacob Fatu, Wade.
45:41We were all warned about.
45:43This is the Samoan werewolf.
45:45This is the unhinged version of the man.
45:48And he was pushed to this tonight.
45:51This is the version of the Samoan werewolf we've all been terrified of seeing.
45:57This is the version of Jacob Fatu that Roman Reigns wanted to keep far, far away from his family.
46:06And that sight on your screen right now is the reason why.
46:11Roman survived him by the skin of his teeth.
46:14Jacob Fatu is back.
46:16Fatu's back.
46:17And again, back with the tongue and death grip on the champion.
46:20Call the cops.
46:22Get somebody out here.
46:23Handcuff this guy.
46:24We need Piper Spray or Stone Guns or something.
46:27He is unrelenting here.
46:29You got a half a dozen men in there that can't fly Fatu away from the champion.
46:42What could have been for Jacob Fatu, but perhaps his pursuit of the championship isn't over.
