02:24One of the greatest to ever

02:28And one of the most powerful women
02:30In the world
02:31Side by side
02:33The true power couple of WWE
02:36What's interesting about tonight guys
02:38Despite the fact that Stephanie
02:39Is a former women's champion
02:41This is actually
02:42For a Wrestlemania
02:44In-ring debut
02:46And leading up to this guys
02:47We saw the hype
02:48Of the executive Stephanie
02:50The executive Triple H
02:52Those titles are now
02:53Out the window
02:54We just saw them
02:56Come down the ramp
02:57And you flip a switch
02:58And it's competitor Triple H
03:00It's competitor
03:01Stephanie McMahon
03:02You know Corey
03:03This is Triple H's
03:0622nd Wrestlemania
03:07Second most
03:09All time
03:10Look at the incredible
03:12Physical condition
03:13Both Triple H and Stephanie
03:15Are in preparing for this battle
03:16At the showcase of the Immortals
03:21This is one of the coolest
03:25Interances I have ever seen
03:27So many celebrities
03:28Around the globe
03:29Have been tweeting
03:29About this matchup tonight
03:34One of the most talked about matches
03:36In Wrestlemania history
03:42There is so much anticipation
03:45Of what we're going to see
03:47For so many different reasons
03:48But right at the top guys
03:49We're about to see
03:50One of the biggest stars
03:51In the world
03:52Have her Wrestlemania
03:54Debut in Ronda Rousey
03:56I thought you were talking about
03:57Stephanie McMahon again
03:58Yeah!
04:01Yeah!
04:28Yeah!
04:29Yeah!
04:32Yeah!
04:36Yeah!
04:39Yeah!
04:40Yeah!
04:42Yeah!
04:46They say never say never
04:49and you never expected to see Kurt Angle again in a Wrestlemania ring.
04:54You were mistaken.
04:59Last year, he ducked it into the WWE Hall of Fame.
05:02One year later, competing in this high-profile dream match.
05:08Kurt Angle says he wants one more Wrestlemania moment.
05:11It's been 12 years since competing on this grand stage.
05:16I've said it forever that nobody took to this ring like Kurt Angle.
05:20He was like a bitch to water.
05:22So Ryder Rousey could not have a better teacher,
05:25a better partner than Kurt Angle for her debut here tonight.
05:29Good morning.
05:40It's been a fun day.
05:44Yay.
05:49All right.
05:51We're the one that's now.
05:52All right, baby.
05:54All right.
05:54But, and we're here.
05:54I don't know how much happens.
05:56We're here.
05:57Enjoy the moment because it's about to become reality.
06:02The butterflies in Ronda's stomach must feel like pterodactyls right now.
06:06There's only been two people in WWE history who've made the transition from beginning in UFC to making it to
06:14WWE.
06:15The first is Ken Shamrock. Now Ronda Rousey joins his company.
06:20I'm sure Ken Shamrock would tell you, just as Kurt Angle would, it's a whole different world.
06:26The following contest is a mixed match tag team match scheduled for a one fall.
06:33Making her way to the ring, the baddest woman on the planet, Rowdy Ronda Rousey.
06:42She looks in unbelievable shape.
06:45Boys, there's one man that was live on the air on a little show we like to call SportsCenter.
06:51Her last two fights, and you're looking at him right here.
06:54I can tell you that she has never performed in front of a crowd like this in her life.
07:00The pressure is real.
07:03Ronda came to the ring wearing Rowdy Roddy Piper's jacket.
07:07Ronda's inspiration, her favorite of all time.
07:10Ronda looking to make the Hot Rod crowd in New Orleans.
07:14The world's in trouble as the communication.
07:16Ronda's inspiration, her favorite of all time.
07:23Ronda's inspiration, her favorite of all time.
07:26Ronda's inspiration, her favorite of all time.
07:28Ronda's inspiration, her favorite of all time.
07:31Ronda's inspiration, her favorite of all time.
07:34Ronda's inspiration, her favorite of all time.
07:35Ronda's inspiration, her favorite of all time.
07:35Ronda's inspiration, her favorite of all time.
07:35Ronda's inspiration, her favorite of all time.
07:37Ronda's inspiration, her favorite of all time.
07:39Ronda's inspiration, her favorite of all time.
07:41Ronda's inspiration, her favorite of all time.
08:02Oh, and a pie base from Stephanie to Ronda.
08:06And the trash talking's begun.
08:08Mind games, Cole.
08:10And guys, and look at from behind,
08:12Stephanie's grabbing the hair of Rousey.
08:16The bell finally races, start the match.
08:20And this is a manipulation of the rules.
08:22And I'm not sure if you guys caught it right before the match began
08:25as Triple H goes after Kurt Angle.
08:27Triple H and Stephanie Man told the referee,
08:29remember who signs your paychecks.
08:31That could be critical tonight.
08:33The referee's got a family to take care of.
08:35Of course, you're going to listen to the authority in the ring.
08:37And let's remember that emotion is something that we've seen the last couple of weeks
08:41really kind of gets Ronda Rousey going.
08:43We've already seen Stephanie really start to get in her head before this match even starts.
08:47And it's Kurt Angle pounds away on Triple H.
08:49The number one trend in the world is hashtag Wrestlemania.
08:54But, Corey, here are two men, Hall of Fame careers,
08:56and who know each other very well.
09:00Big back body drop.
09:01No love lost between Kurt Angle and the game Triple H
09:04as Triple H launched high into the New Orleans sky.
09:10Kurt Angle, I never thought we'd ever see him in a WWE ring again until late last year.
09:17And now he finds himself tonight a pair of Olympic teammates, Angle and Rousey.
09:22Listen, I understand Ronda Rousey is a celebrated athlete,
09:25maybe the most celebrated athlete in combat sports history as a female.
09:29But Ronda Rousey couldn't have picked a bigger fish to challenge for her first match.
09:34It's like showing up to basketball camp your first day
09:37and having to face LeBron James and Pat Riley.
09:40Well, I don't know if that's an accurate comparison.
09:42It's the greatest comparison there is, Coach.
09:43I don't think Stephanie McMahon in the ring is LeBron James or Pat Riley,
09:48but I will say this.
09:49She did not make it easy on herself for her debut to be against Stephanie in Triple H.
09:54That's my first analogy.
09:55It went right over your head, Coach.
09:56I thought you were a sports guy.
09:57Look at Stephanie.
09:58Stephanie steps into the ring.
10:00It draws Rousey.
10:02Distracts Angle.
10:03Pulls the rope down.
10:04Stephanie and Triple H working as a perfect team so far.
10:09And Stephanie using that McMahon instinct, so to speak,
10:12step in the ring, brought Rousey toward the center.
10:15And now Triple H's angle, shoulder first into the steps.
10:20Well, it has been a while.
10:22It's been a minute since Kurt Angle's been in the ring,
10:23and I think Triple H is trying to see physically what can Kurt Angle take.
10:27And now Triple H is trash-talking, mouth it off.
10:32Using Triple H's get the signal.
10:34And Stephanie McMahon takes advantage.
10:35That is brilliant.
10:36Now Rousey going to check on her partner and perhaps get to Stephanie.
10:40But this has been Corey's, as you mentioned, Corey.
10:43By the husband and wife team.
10:45Ronda needs to get her emotions in check quick.
10:48Because right now she is being mentally picked apart by the game and Stephanie McMahon.
10:53And now Triple H's suplex to Angle.
10:55Bringing it back into the ring.
10:57That's it, Brady.
10:59Here, now we're going to pound away with the right hands.
11:02You know, watching how this match started,
11:03I can't help but go back to what Triple H's and Stephanie said.
11:06We're always in shape.
11:07We don't need to get in shape.
11:08This is what we do.
11:09This is what we live.
11:10This is our life.
11:11And you talk about emotions, Corey.
11:12This is the largest crowd that Ronda Rousey has ever performed in front of.
11:17Nerves have to be immense tonight.
11:25And again, cheap shots by McMahon and Triple H.
11:29And whether you like it or whether you don't, they're smart.
11:31They get it.
11:32Stephanie said, this is our ring.
11:34We make the rules.
11:35Well, there's a reason, Coach, that Triple H is called the cerebral assassin.
11:39Right.
11:43Angle blocks the right from Triple H, but they're trying to fight back against the game.
11:54Oh!
11:55Sprybuster vintage Triple H cover by the game.
11:59Hooks the leg.
11:59Angle near fall for Triple H.
12:02How disappointing would it be for Ronda to never even step foot in as a legal competitor during her first
12:08match?
12:09I was just thinking the same thing.
12:11If this keeps up, it's going to happen.
12:14Angle trying to crawl to his corner and Triple H just stalking him.
12:22Rousey pleading for Angle to make a tag.
12:26I heard what you say.
12:27Triple H front face lock doing a great job keeping Angle away from the corner.
12:36Ronda wants in in the worst way.
12:39She realizes her partner's in deep, deep trouble.
12:42Kurt about an arm's length away here from making a tag.
12:45And he gets his tag.
12:46Fingertips away.
12:47This place is going to erupt.
12:52Oh, and a boot by Angle.
12:54Triple H is down.
12:55Can Angle capitalize?
12:56Kurt Angle is six-time world champion.
12:59Angle's got a long way to go to tag Ronda.
13:03And look at Stephanie McMahon.
13:05And finally, the official.
13:07Oh, no!
13:11Almost shades of last year's WrestleMania.
13:18And Stephanie needs to regroup a bit.
13:21Remember, last year she went through a table, Corey.
13:24That could have been absolutely catastrophic.
13:26And now it's Kurt Angle with a suplex.
13:29And that 10 seconds cost the game.
13:32And now we've got to see if Kurt Angle can get up, get to his corner, and tag in Ronda
13:37Rousey.
13:37Not for nothing, but how would you have felt if he almost punched your wife in the face?
13:41Well, yeah, I'm just saying.
13:42I'm not saying he did anything wrong.
13:44I'm saying it cost him.
13:44And now Rousey again desperately pleading to her partner, Angle, to make a tag.
13:50And now Stephanie McMahon face first off the apron.
13:53That sort of brilliance should be applauded by the entire WWE universe.
13:57It is complete manipulation of the rules tonight by McMahon and Triple H.
14:02I don't know if I've ever seen somebody that has not gotten into a match have more of an impact
14:05on a match than Stephanie.
14:07Watch this.
14:08Boom!
14:09Jaw first off the apron.
14:11Went for the pedigree.
14:12Angle able to counter.
14:13Triple H up over the top, hits the floor.
14:16Angle's opportunity now, but Rousey is not in the corner.
14:19She was taken out by Stephanie.
14:21Hunter!
14:24Rousey's there.
14:26Stephanie begging Hunter.
14:28I think Stephanie realizes what's supposed to happen.
14:31Oh, no.
14:43Here comes Rousey.
14:45Here comes Rousey.
14:45Go to the cops.
14:46And here comes Stephanie.
14:48Oh, no.
14:51Ronda Rousey.
14:53Is a place that Stephanie McMahon.
14:58Rousey.
14:59Tag out, Steph.
15:01She can't.
15:02Rousey planning Stephanie.
15:12And here comes the strikes for the baddest woman on the planet, Rousey.
15:17With rights and looks.
15:18One of the midsection drops Stephanie.
15:20This is two months of frustration she's taken out on Stephanie McMahon.
15:30What a bail by Rousey.
15:37Ronda's picking your hairs up in between her fingers from Stephanie McMahon.
15:44Ronda Rousey is dominating.
15:46Oh, how can you be okay with this?
15:48Stephanie signs all paychecks too.
15:52Well, Corey, we knew at some point Stephanie would have to get in against Ronda Rousey.
15:57No, I honestly did not know that.
16:00Stephanie is begging and pleading.
16:03Looking for some escape round.
16:12Stephanie in way over her head.
16:13I want to take over.
16:14I want to take over the R bar.
16:15Oh, no.
16:21She's got Stephanie where she wants her.
16:27This is what Ronda threatened the deal.
16:29Stephanie's trying to block.
16:31Stephanie hanging on for dear life.
16:33Great job by Stephanie McMahon.
16:36All these savages here in the Superdome are on their feet hoping Ronda gets it.
16:40Yeah, but what a counter, Corey, by Stephanie.
16:42His audience has been training.
16:43Stephanie's been doing her homework, practicing her jiu-jitsu defense.
16:47And Stephanie again able to block.
16:49Ronda might get pinned.
16:51Ronda trying to fight out of this.
16:52Stephanie's on her eyes.
16:54She's trying to survive.
16:54Stephanie went right to the eyes.
16:56And again, Corey, we talked about it earlier.
16:58Complete manipulation of the rules in front of the official tonight.
17:01Well, she's going for attack, but there's nobody there because the game is still down on the outside.
17:05Our boss was about to have her arm broken, and you're worried about rules.
17:09Stephanie stuck her thumb in Rousey's eye in front of the official.
17:12How did that do the same thing if my arm was about to be snapped?
17:15Oh, my lord.
17:18Stephanie plants Ronda face first.
17:20McMahon looking for the win.
17:22Hooks the leg.
17:23Rousey kicks out.
17:24As surprised as I am by how good Ronda Rousey looked, I gotta be honest with you.
17:29Stephanie is surprising me as well.
17:32Why are you surprised, Coach?
17:34This is Stephanie.
17:34She grew up in this business.
17:36This is her.
17:37Hey, Ronda Rousey may be the baddest woman on the planet.
17:40Stephanie is the meanest woman on the planet.
17:43And she's taking it out on Rousey here.
17:51True test for Rousey here tonight in her first matchup in WWE against the very game Stephanie McMahon.
17:58Again, vicious by Stephanie.
18:03Watch the hair.
18:05Come on.
18:07Man, this has been a bit shocking.
18:11That's a great word.
18:13Uh-oh.
18:14Stephanie loading up her boots.
18:17Oh, she's mocking Ronda Rousey.
18:19That's guts.
18:21Oh, and Ronda stopped Stephanie in her tracks.
18:25She was just waiting, biding her time.
18:29Look at the look.
18:30The stone-faced gaze.
18:32Uh-oh.
18:35Ronda Rousey with Stephanie at her shoulders.
18:38Oh!
18:39Oh, Stephanie!
18:41How quick was that?
18:44Cover.
18:44One, two, three.
18:46And Triple H just pulled the referee out of the ring.
18:49That should be a disqualification.
18:52You're the biggest hero in Rousey.
18:54Come on.
18:55Come on.
18:55What the hell?
18:56Get back here and start counting.
18:58I'm gonna go get and continue beating up your wife, okay?
19:01Are you ready?
19:02Oh, my God!
19:05Triple H just yanked, yanked Rousey out of the ring.
19:07Don't do that.
19:10An angle.
19:12Take an exception to that.
19:14Right-hands to Triple H.
19:15The game bounced right off her own house table.
19:19Get it for it!
19:20Get it for it!
19:22Get it for it!
19:22And again, Triple H.
19:25All hell's breaking loose at this side.
19:27Oh, get down off there!
19:28Get down off there!
19:31Get down off there!
19:32No!
19:34You gotta be kidding me!
19:35No.
19:37Triple H blocking.
19:39Sent angle over onto the Spanish announce table.
19:48Rousey's down.
19:50Angle is down.
19:52Two!
19:53Two!
19:54Two!
19:55And just like that, Triple H has regained control of this match.
20:02Two!
20:03Two!
20:08Two!
20:09Two!
20:09Two!
20:09Two!
20:10Two!
20:10Two!
20:10Two!
20:10Two!
20:14Two!
20:15Hey guys, he's back up!
20:16Oh my God.
20:18Yeah, Triple H has no idea.
20:22And Ronda Rousey is in the ring!
20:26Triple H now realizes that.
20:41Rousey wants Hunter.
20:43Rousey must be out of her mind.
21:09Ronda Rousey is squaring off with a 14-time world champion.
21:15And Rousey puts her legs into the corner.
21:19Get your hands up, Ross.
21:20Rousey unloading that Triple H.
21:23A vicious assault by Rousey.
21:26The game is down!
21:28The game is down!
21:30No, she's not.
21:32Oh, my God!
21:35You're gonna be kidding me!
21:37Triple H on Rousey's shoulders.
21:40Stephanie saving her husband.
21:42Oh, no.
21:48That was not smart, Steph.
21:50I support most of Stephanie's decisions,
21:52but that wasn't a good one.
21:54Yeah, she quickly realized how not smart that really was.
21:57Oh, no!
21:57Stephanie trying to get a wire!
21:59Oh, no!
21:59Rousey's got her!
22:01Rousey's got her!
22:04Ronda just threw Stephanie almost through the barricade at ringside.
22:08I don't think she's done, Corey.
22:13Look at the power of Ronda Rousey!
22:16Rousey!
22:17Oh, my God!
22:18Face first off the post!
22:28Meanwhile, Kurt Angle's back in the ring.
22:30Kurt Angle, belly-to-belly throw to Hunter!
22:34And another belly-to-belly by the Olympic gold medalist!
22:41Oh, face first off his knee!
22:44Triple H!
22:46German suplex!
22:48Oh!
22:48A classic Kurt Angle!
22:51Angle again!
22:53Arms still wrapped around the waist of the game!
22:57Angle's got a vice grip around Triple H!
23:00Three hellacious German suplexes!
23:07Went for the angle slam!
23:08Triple H able to counter!
23:10He's looking for the pedigree!
23:12Hooks the arms!
23:13Angle with the angle lock!
23:16Hunter's trying to fight it!
23:21Hunter again!
23:22Looking for the pedigree!
23:24Angle blocks again!
23:28Uh-oh!
23:28Launches the ball!
23:30Top turnbuckle!
23:33Angle slam!
23:36Cover!
23:37Hooks the leg!
23:39Oh!
23:40Surveys kicked out at two!
23:44What a match, guys!
23:46I don't think that Triple H and Stephanie thought that Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey
23:49could take them to these limits.
23:52We've gone deep, and everybody here loves it.
23:54I've been impressed with Kurt Angle.
23:56I've been impressed with Ronda Rousey.
23:57Absolutely!
23:59Angle with the straps down.
24:01This epic mixed tag match has certainly lived up to the height.
24:04Here it comes!
24:05Can Angle turn it?
