00:19Guys, Seth Rollins remains extremely bitter after the way he lost the fatal four-way match to the WWE Universal
00:26title.
00:27And the way Kevin Owens won a number of weeks ago.
00:30Seth Rollins has every right in the world to be upset.
00:33Seth has always lived life with a chip on his shoulder, but now that chip is a boulder.
00:38And that man, Seth Rollins, is focused on recapturing the WWE Universal Champion.
00:45And I think about it this way, Seth Rollins is once the crown jewel of WWE's proverbial royal family,
00:51also known as the Authority, Seth's then excommunicated, banished,
00:55and now forced to prove his worth here tonight.
01:02Well, remember, Stephanie and Mick did make Seth Rollins the number one pick in the entire
01:08brand extension draft, so there's something to be said about that.
01:13Yeah, also, something to be said about the words of Stephanie when she looked at Seth in
01:18the eyes and said, you know what?
01:19You've been replaced as the man, that man is now Kevin Owens.
01:23Yeah, but Stephanie still has not acknowledged that she knew anything about Triple H getting
01:27involved in that fatal four-way.
01:30Whether Stephanie knew or not, Seth Rollins believes it one way, and
01:34Seth is focused on burning this place to the ground.
01:51On September 24th, 1995, Kevin Owens' father took him to his very first WWE pay-per-view.
02:01In your house, three, now almost 21 days, 21 years to the day, Kevin Owens finds himself
02:11headlining his first WWE pay-per-view, defending his WWE Universal Championship against Seth Rollins.
02:21It's on the t-shirt, the championship makes the show, the WWE Universal Championship underscores,
02:30folds, and underlines the fact that this is The Kevin Owens Show.
02:34You know, three former NXT champions have been world champions.
02:39Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and now Kevin Owens.
02:58The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
03:02And it is for the WWE Universal Championship.
03:08Introducing first the challenger from Davenport, Iowa, weighing 217 pounds, Seth.
03:14Rollins!
03:21His opponent, from Maryville, Quebec, Canada, weighing 266 pounds,
03:27he is the WWE Universal Champion, Kevin Owens.
03:35And that's what this is about, hashtag WWE Universal title.
03:42Owens versus Rollins, their first one-on-one match in WWE.
03:51Will Owens be kissing the WWE Universal Championship goodbye?
03:56The brand new championship, formed by Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley,
04:01following the brand-extension draft, when Raw was left without a world title.
04:06And now Owens looks to defend against Seth Rollins, and tip a little Kevin Owens to start this match.
04:12With the mind games begin.
04:16But Kevin Owens, in many ways, Corey in the ring with a master of mind games,
04:20and the Architect Seth Rollins.
04:22Earned the nickname, the Architect, without being incredibly proficient.
04:25Seth Rollins knows exactly what Kevin Owens is doing.
04:28He's trying to play a mental game.
04:30And Kevin Owens, grabbed by Seth Rollins, and now a right hand by KO, and KO out of the ring,
04:36on the attack.
04:36Kevin Owens always looking for that opening, the upper hand to start the attack, which he does here.
04:41But there's the reversal, Owens into the barricade.
04:44Upper hand, Rollins.
04:45And interesting, Owens sent into the barricade there by Seth Rollins.
04:50That is what happened at SummerSlam.
04:52Seth Rollins went after Finn Balor early on in the matchup, causing Balor a shoulder injury.
04:57Finn would go on to win the match and capture the championship that night,
05:02but forced to relinquish the following evening on Raw.
05:10Seth Rollins with a knee, glancing off the side of the face of Kevin Owens.
05:15You talked about it earlier, I mentioned we both saw Seth Rollins earlier on today.
05:20That focus, that intensity in his eyes, unfazed, knowing what he has to do here tonight.
05:26He feels wronged, Seth Rollins does.
05:29Here's the cover.
05:31He feels betrayed.
05:33Man that he looked up to is really a mentor for much of his career.
05:38It's very understandable why Seth Rollins feels the way he does.
05:40Seth carried this company for several years on his back as the WWE World Champion.
05:46And the point I was making before you interrupted me is the fact that Triple H,
05:49a man who Seth Rollins looked up to as a mentor, stabbed him in the back.
05:56Seth never saw it coming.
05:57Here's the cover on Owens and a kick out.
06:02Triple H opting, instead, as Seth Rollins put it,
06:06to place his attention on the new shiny toy, AKA Kevin Owens.
06:15We've got to give respect to Kevin Owens.
06:17I mean, it is Duke.
06:18Kevin Owens is one of the top superstars in the industry.
06:21He's worked incredibly hard, so he got a little help with that last situation.
06:24And I guess, you know, one thing I think you're leaving out of this whole equation,
06:28Corey, is that you don't think the authority did anything for Seth.
06:31I mean, that was the reason he was the champion in the first place.
06:34Listen, when you're really good at something, you surround yourself with good people.
06:38And Seth Rollins down goes Kevin Owens.
06:40People gravitate towards you.
06:43Listen, there's no denying, here's Rollins into the cover for the championship.
06:46No denying Seth Rollins is a great athlete.
06:48No doubt about it.
06:50Here's the opportunity to prove tonight how great one-on-one with Owens.
06:59This pace as we start, Corey, who does it favor?
07:03Kevin Owens right now.
07:05The slower pace definitely favors Kevin Owens.
07:07That said, Owens gonna hang.
07:09Uh-oh.
07:10The pedigree early.
07:14Kevin countered, followed by a forearm by Seth.
07:16Seth gonna launch himself off the top rope.
07:19Lands on his feet, rolls through.
07:20Kick to the midsection of KO.
07:22Another kick by Rollins.
07:26Right to the hamstring.
07:28And a DDT.
07:30Spiked it.
07:31Stood him right off cover by KO.
07:33Kick attitude.
07:38Rollins doing the smart thing rolling out.
07:41And now it's Owens.
07:41Wait a minute, wait a minute.
07:43You saw Seth Rollins favoring the knee there, guys.
07:46And remember, the surgically repaired knee of Seth Rollins.
07:49The reason he had to relinquish the WWE world title in the first place last year.
07:53And that injury put Seth Rollins on the shelf for seven long months.
07:57Kevin Owens driving Seth's spine first into the post.
08:01I promise you, Kevin Owens is very well aware.
08:04He's like a shark that smells blood.
08:06Kevin Owens knows that the knee of Seth Rollins has an injury history.
08:10Why not exploit it?
08:15Take another look at what happened at the knee here, Byron.
08:18Yeah, watch.
08:19Rollins kick right to the back of the knee.
08:22So smart by Owens.
08:24Great strategy by the champion.
08:27And a straight right hand knocks Seth down.
08:29I am the man.
08:36Never had a confidence shortage with Kevin Owens.
08:40It's my show.
08:45Seth Rollins though fighting back.
08:47No, no, no, no, no, no.
08:54Forming a chopper now setbacks to champ into the ropes.
08:59Reversal, Kevin caught him with an elbow.
09:02Point of Kevin Owens elbow right in the forehead of Seth Rollins.
09:07Kevin Owens, cover.
09:08The challenger and a kick out.
09:10Owens will use every part of his body as a weapon.
09:15We mentioned before how Seth Rollins might wanna quicken the pace,
09:18but Kevin Owens can hang.
09:19Kevin Owens can step up there and if the pace escalates, cover.
09:25Kevin Owens is more than prepared to do just that,
09:27especially to retain the WWE Universal Championship.
09:30We saw that a few moments ago.
09:33Rollins rolled out of the ring and Owens is right there on his tail.
09:36And again, the bad knee has become the focal point of attack by Owens.
09:44Rollins trying to keep space between him and KO.
09:55Interesting, not much has been made of Seth Rollins' knee over the past couple of months,
09:58but Kevin Owens did not forget about it.
10:05Kevin Owens is an incredibly smart competitor.
10:08A lot of people don't like his attitude, his sense of entitlement,
10:11but Kevin Owens is a thinking man's pro.
10:15Yes.
10:15Rollins sent over the-
10:16And he landed hard on the knee.
10:21That could be a gift for Kevin Owens.
10:24Is he okay?
10:25Come on, let's keep it in.
10:26Is he okay?
10:28I hope he's okay.
10:30Yeah, the sarcasm by KO as he delivers the flying elbow.
10:35Like he really cares if Seth Rollins is okay.
10:44Watch out again, incoming.
10:48Driving that elbow.
10:51Look at the chest of Rollins.
10:55The official now on a count of six.
10:58And Seth Rollins just makes it to the steps of seven and now he crawls back into the ring.
11:04Kevin Owens with almost a, I can't believe he came back in, snapped there.
11:09And there's the senton by KO.
11:12Is it enough to put Rollins out this time?
11:14Near fall.
11:18Seth's got fight.
11:23Now the chin lock by Owens as he continues to wear down Rollins.
11:28And Rollins trying to grab the elbow somehow trying to release the pressure of that rear chin lock.
11:33But Owens has Seth Rollins right where he wants him.
11:36Tried and true strategy by Kevin Owens.
11:39We see this all the time because it's effective.
11:45You're not the man.
11:47And to your point earlier, Corey, this is the pace KO wants.
11:53When I'm done with you, you're gonna fade into blocks.
11:57You did it.
11:58Hearing down Rollins, talking trash to Rollins.
12:01Ask him.
12:02What did you say, Rollins?
12:03Want to get it out?
12:04Come on now.
12:05Come on now.
12:08Seth trying to somehow fight out of this, that chin lock in good.
12:14Seth doing everything he can to try to break this hold.
12:18Yeah, but Kevin Owens hanging on to that rear chin lock like a pit bull.
12:27A couple of shots there.
12:29Breaks the hold.
12:31Man.
12:32Seth hit hard.
12:32What an Irish whip.
12:33Did you hear the impact?
12:35The turnbuckles clicked.
12:40Just listen.
12:44Lord.
12:49Seth Rollins is being punished here.
12:53It's my time.
12:57And again.
13:01Just a peek into the unbridled viciousness that Kevin Owens possesses.
13:07Well, guys, you heard Kevin Owens scream at Seth Rollins, this is my time.
13:11And indeed it is.
13:13It's the Kevin Owens Show.
13:16Listen.
13:19Shifted the ring an inch.
13:21The architect, you don't even have a foundation.
13:25Man.
13:28I'm the foundation of this company.
13:31You hear me?
13:33Me.
13:36Yeah.
13:37And Rollins this time.
13:39Caught himself, landed on his feet, fought up with a clothesline, spins Owens like a top.
13:44But more importantly, it buys Rollins some time.
13:48But is it going to be enough time?
13:50Rollins has damage to the knee, to the back.
13:53Kevin Owens has really done a job on Seth Rollins' entire body.
13:57Don't forget the ribs.
14:00Rollins has gotta be having problems breathing.
14:04Rollins a little wherewithal here to catch himself and respond.
14:07That was clutch.
14:10Kevin back on the attack and Rollins now with a forearm of zone.
14:14KO with a right.
14:21And with the point of the elbow.
14:23Owens striking Rollins, Rollins responding.
14:28Multitude of forearms.
14:36Sling blade by Seth Rollins.
14:38And Kevin Owens now finds himself in trouble.
14:42The pace is beginning to quicken.
14:44This is what Seth Rollins wants.
14:45Seth's starting to feel it.
14:47Adrenaline starting to flow, momentum building.
14:50Trying to get feeling back in the knee.
14:52Rollins follows it up with a clothesline and now Seth quickening the pace.
14:57And will his body allow him to sustain this pace?
15:08Now Seth Rollins setting up Kevin Owens.
15:11Knee right to the back.
15:12Cover for the WWE Universal Championship and a kick out by the champ.
15:24Rollins has been beat up, abused, punished, but he's still in it.
15:29You definitely feel that momentum shifting in this matchup.
15:32Come on, Chad.
15:33Into the corner of Rollins.
15:39Seth on the move, and Owens driven out of the ring.
15:47Rollins wasting no time not giving Kevin Owens any quarter.
15:50Gonna punish Owens now.
15:53Wearing him down, trying to wipe him out.
15:57See that almost crazed look in the eyes of Seth Rollins.
16:00Crazed and possessed, do whatever it takes to take out the champ.
16:04.
16:13Spanish announce table.
16:15Yeah.
16:16Get out of there, guys.
16:17Speaking of crazed, it's about to get crazy.
16:26Clearing off the Spanish announce table, Kevin Owens in retreat back into the ring.
16:32And now Owens would set Rollins up on his shoulders, set to the midsection.
16:37Yes.
16:39Rollins unable to get Kevin Owens up for the suplex.
16:43And again, lower back, taking a toll.
16:48What a kick.
16:50Can Rollins win the title?
16:52Off the kick to the face of Owens and a kick out of two.
17:10You can almost see the wheels in Seth Rollins' mind turning.
17:14The Architect figuring out the solution to the issue.
17:17Figuring out the next step to dethrone Kevin Owens.
17:22I think he knows what that next step is, Corey.
17:25Owens slowly making his way up.
17:27It's Seth now.
17:29Donald underhook.
17:31Had the pedigree in mind.
17:33Seth landed on his feet.
17:36It's to the knee.
17:39And Rollins has tried to fight back at every turn here, but Kevin Owens has cut him off.
17:45What's up?
17:46Cannonball.
17:49Cover.
17:50One, two, three.
17:52Almost had him.
17:53One, two, three.
17:56One, two, three.
18:00One, two, three.
18:03One, two, three.
18:04One, two, three.
18:04What do you say, Owens?
18:08Take another look at this.
18:10Full speed and cannonball on the mark.
18:15Owens is on his feet.
18:29My feet.
18:33No, no, no, no, no.
18:35Kevin Owens.
18:36My goodness.
18:38Rollins on the right.
18:40Owens stunned.
18:45He caught him.
18:46And a kick to the face.
18:48Rollins.
18:50Is it enough?
18:51Can he capitalize?
18:58Your instinct.
18:59Strike your opponent until you can strike no more.
19:03One, two, three, four.
19:07It started with the knee from Seth.
19:10Owens responded with the kick.
19:16Could be argued that Seth Rollins got the better of that exchange, but
19:19as it stands right now, the playing field seems to be pretty even.
19:29Kevin Owens.
19:32Owens maybe looking for another cannonball.
19:36This time Rollins moves out of the way.
19:41Rollins trying to get the blood flowing through the knee.
19:47Owens caught him.
19:48Owens caught him.
19:48Kevin Owens caught him.
19:51My God.
19:53Is it enough to retain the championship?
19:55It's not how Rollins kicked down.
19:58That slight hesitation with the knee cost Seth Rollins, almost cost him this match.
20:04Take a look at this.
20:06Owens.
20:06My goodness.
20:08Driving the back of Seth Rollins neck down across his knee.
20:12Man, both these superstars punishing one another for the WWE Universal Championship.
20:19Now Seth Rollins is even still in.
20:22This is beyond me.
20:24The same could be said for Kevin Owens.
20:26He's taken a lot of punishment in this match.
20:29There's no quit in either one of these two superstars.
20:32Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens both have dedicated their lives to being the very best
20:36WWE superstar possible.
20:38Now it's Kevin Owens going up top.
20:42Kevin Owens looking for the high risk.
20:44Rollins back to his feet and caught him right on the ear.
20:51This could be the opening Seth Rollins needs, but can Rollins capitalize?
20:54Both these superstars are spent.
20:57It's for the WWE Universal Championship.
21:10Headbutt right to the bridge of the nose.
21:17Kevin Owens trying to compose himself.
21:19It took too much time.
21:20And it stepped around.
21:21No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
21:23Owens with Rollins on his shoulder.
21:26My God.
21:30The massive gut buster from the top rope and Owens going back up.
21:34He's going up top again.
21:36And a full splash.
21:39Again to the ribs.
21:41Inside leg.
21:42And Rollins stays in it somehow.
21:45You saw that sense of urgency kick in real fast for Owens.
21:49Coming off the top with that frog splash.
21:53Yeah, but that was after the gut buster.
21:57Seth Rollins' ribs might be cracked.
21:59I mean, they could be broken clean in half after those two maneuvers.
22:05Owens can't believe that Seth Rollins is still in this match.
22:08I can't either.
22:09The ribs, the back, the knee, all the opposing factors that Rollins is dealing with in this match.
22:16Maybe you can call it confidence, you can call it arrogance.
22:18Seth Rollins believes he belongs in the WWE Universal Championship situation.
22:24Seth Rollins believes he owns that championship.
22:30Kevin Owens fighting desperately to hang on to it.
22:41I remember earlier it was Rollins who exposed the Spanish announce table.
22:47And now it's Kevin Owens that gonna take advantage of it.
22:50The challenger.
22:51It's like Seth Rollins could become a victim of his own handiwork.
22:54Throwing on the Spanish announce table.
22:58Owens breaks the count.
23:00He wants to punish.
23:01She wants to damage.
23:02She wants to destroy Seth Rollins.
23:07My God, what is Kevin Owens gonna do here?
23:10Two tables exposed, bad intentions.
23:13Are you gonna disqualify me?
23:14Yeah.
23:16Keep it in your way.
23:17Come on.
23:21And Kevin Owens.
23:22My, Seth Rollins on our table.
23:25The plan backfired.
