00:00:11Summer Slam.
00:00:12Summer Slam.
00:00:17Does Seth have a match two weeks out?
00:00:22Whatever it is, can blow his knee out.
00:00:26Like bullshit blows knee out, but should we shoot?
00:00:29Shoot with it like it's legit.
00:00:31Don't tell anybody, you know what I mean?
00:00:34Do the whole shebang.
00:00:36He's on crutches for a couple of weeks.
00:00:38He's got his, like, brace on, and, you know, Summer Slam.
00:00:41Here comes Seth Rollins, throws his crutches, runs down the ring,
00:00:46smashes him, cashes it in, and fucking takes the title.
00:00:49Walks out of there as a champ.
00:00:50Yeah.
00:00:52He'd be such an asshole, too, because he'd probably hobble out for two, four seconds,
00:00:56and then just be like, fucking run.
00:00:58And then go running down that whole thing.
00:01:02This would be one of those ones where I wouldn't want to fucking tell anybody.
00:01:05Nope.
00:01:06Yeah, if we're going to do this, we've got to keep it, like, literally this team.
00:01:11Don't put that in the notes.
00:01:14And if we could sell it legitimately like he was fucking hurt and out of Summer Slam,
00:01:19you might have some people who, I don't know, this might be a work or something.
00:01:25What is a work?
00:01:26Yeah.
00:01:28At this point, I would like to invoke my Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
00:01:35Son of a lawyer, you know.
00:01:44Sorry to disappoint everyone, but I'm not a fan of this show.
00:01:51I grew up in an era where you defended the secrecy of this business.
00:01:58To the point where, if you didn't, you were beaten up and ostracized from the business.
00:02:07It's jarring to someone who grew up in the industry where secrecy was a matter of life and death of
00:02:16your career.
00:02:20I think this show is going to flow a whole lot better if you simply just depose me.
00:02:27I'll treat this like a deposition.
00:02:30Ask me your questions.
00:02:31I'll tell you no lies.
00:02:34How important is a work in wrestling?
00:02:41How important is a work in wrestling?
00:02:44What?
00:02:45Look at that!
00:02:46Look at that!
00:02:47It's America!
00:02:48Kevin Nash lives!
00:02:51Khali will crush his skull.
00:02:54Oh, no.
00:02:55Oh, no.
00:02:55Oh, my God.
00:02:56The work in wrestling, a lot less important today than it used to be, except at a very top level.
00:03:10We had a very famous moment where Tommy Dreamer was in a match against the Sandman.
00:03:15And the Sandman lit his cigarette.
00:03:19And Tommy Dreamer hit the Sandman's hand, and a cigarette went into the Sandman's eye.
00:03:24And Tommy Dreamer took the Singapore cane and cracked the Sandman in the other eye, and the Sandman went down.
00:03:31Get some help!
00:03:33Get some help!
00:03:34Get some help!
00:03:35Oh, my God!
00:03:37And for five weeks on television, we were telling you that the Sandman was blind.
00:03:45Stay awake, Hack.
00:03:46You gotta stay awake.
00:03:47Come on.
00:03:48What's going on, you guys?
00:03:48Try to shoot him!
00:03:49Come on.
00:03:50Get the camera all the way out of here.
00:03:51For five weeks, he never left his house.
00:03:57He didn't take his kids to school.
00:03:59He didn't go grocery shopping.
00:04:02And we brought him back for his retirement ceremony.
00:04:06It was a very sad moment.
00:04:08Sandman has already announced his retirement after being blinded.
00:04:13The Sandman peeled off the bandages from his eyes, revealing that he wasn't truly blind.
00:04:21What is this?
00:04:22He can see!
00:04:25He can see!
00:04:26He can see!
00:04:28Thirty-one years later, people still talk about that.
00:04:33Cody!
00:04:34Are you kidding me?
00:04:37Now, you tell me.
00:04:40Was that a work?
00:04:42Or was it just performance art in which the performance art was protected so that you were
00:04:50more emotionally involved in the moment when he revealed that he wasn't blind?
00:04:58That's how we earn our living.
00:05:11For a lot of business reasons, events are coming faster and more furiously than they have ever come before.
00:05:18You end up with a weekend like we're at, Saturday night's main event, and evolution.
00:05:23And, oh, by the way, they're only three weeks out from SummerSlam.
00:05:27It's incredibly challenging.
00:05:29This weekend, we're also trying to do business with a guy like Jelly Roll.
00:05:37My name is Jason D. Ford, and my mama gave me the name Jelly Roll as well.
00:05:43I was a chunky kid, as you can imagine, like a super fat kid, and I loved donuts.
00:05:48And instead of calling me Jelly Donuts, she called me her little Jelly Roll, and it just stuck.
00:05:52I always thank my mama.
00:05:54She might have called me Slim Jim.
00:05:55I might have had a six-pack.
00:05:56I spent my whole life trying to live up to my name.
00:05:59I am 40 years old, and my normal profession is I'm a musician.
00:06:07I don't know where you're at in your life or what you're going through, but I want to tell you
00:06:16to keep going, baby.
00:06:18I want to tell you success is on the other side of it.
00:06:20I want to tell you it's going to be okay.
00:06:23Let's party, Nazman!
00:06:26I'm not a wrestler, for those just tuning in.
00:06:30I watched all these celebrities get these cool matches, so when I started doing music and people started noticing me,
00:06:36it was like always kind of my North Star.
00:06:38I was like, I wonder if I'll get famous enough that I'll actually get involved to be in one of
00:06:42these wrestling matches as a celebrity.
00:06:44Boom!
00:06:46Boom!
00:06:48A lot of times we're approached by folks not in the business and celebrities that think this might be fun.
00:06:56It is fun.
00:06:58You have to be able to do it.
00:07:01It was Monday Night Raw in Nashville, 2023.
00:07:07And Randy Orton's there.
00:07:10And it was super, super cool.
00:07:12And that was the first time I was like, dude, I'm famous enough to let me get involved.
00:07:15So it was really cool.
00:07:17The CMN award winner just dumped Dominic!
00:07:20All I got to do was push Dominic Mysterio, but I wasn't physically able to do much more.
00:07:25Summer Slam 2024.
00:07:27When I'm getting up and doing the five-knuckle shuffle, I'm hanging onto a rope, and R-True's got one
00:07:33arm, and Miz has got another arm.
00:07:35And at that moment, I realized I was so big that it took two grown men to get me to
00:07:40stand up.
00:07:43I knew that if I didn't do something, it was going to kill me.
00:07:47And I just remember leaving there and being like, I will be back next summer a different fucking human.
00:07:59I just kind of shot my shot, and I was like, hey, Triple H, I'm losing this weight, man.
00:08:03Like, what's up?
00:08:04You know what I mean?
00:08:05Like, I'm dead serious about this.
00:08:07Trying for Summer Slam.
00:08:09We're going to see how much we weigh today.
00:08:14Will it stay on there when I get off?
00:08:15Because I can't even see if I'm so fat and close to it.
00:08:21327 pounds, baby.
00:08:22300 pounds.
00:08:24We're going to walk to that ring that night.
00:08:26Under 300 pounds for the first time since I was probably 14 years old.
00:08:31That exact number, around 330 pounds, was the exact time I jumped off the horse last time I tried to
00:08:38lose the weight.
00:08:40On a selfish level, I need this.
00:08:42This might motivate me to push me past that number I've never seen before on the scale.
00:08:47Jelly Roll approached us.
00:08:49He fought to be a part of Summer Slam.
00:08:53Then Jelly Roll moved, got a house, got two houses actually, in Orlando.
00:08:58One for him, and then one for his crew, so that when he finished working out, he went and wrote
00:09:05songs at night.
00:09:07Because that's his job.
00:09:10Walking in that first day and looking at Matt Bloom like, my Bubba, I'm not even a good piece of
00:09:16clay here.
00:09:16Every time I chew up, please.
00:09:17That's all right.
00:09:18You've got a lot to learn.
00:09:22I have never done a flip, ever.
00:09:25You've got a lot to learn.
00:09:28Hey, my side, I'm getting up in here.
00:09:30It's a bit of a short.
00:09:32Every day, it scared me.
00:09:34Three, two, one, go.
00:09:36My fear in wrestling was, had I bit off more than I could chew, was I physically going to be
00:09:44able to do it?
00:09:47You can imagine my first week, my body was going, no, you're not, you're not, there's no way you're going
00:09:52to be ready for this.
00:09:54But that same dog that came out of me that was determined to make it as a songwriter started coming
00:10:00out of me in there.
00:10:04From 11 to 2 o'clock every day, I'd let Coach Matt Bloom, Coach Moss, Coach Brookside beat me to
00:10:09death.
00:10:11Let this fella go.
00:10:12Let him go.
00:10:13Wednesday jelly, we're going to work on selling.
00:10:16You getting your ass kicked.
00:10:26I've never been through something that was more grueling that I cannot wait to get back to doing.
00:10:31Dude, I'm going to fucking have a SummerSlam match.
00:10:34It's going to be the coolest thing ever.
00:10:36Where's the fucking rest of the ass?
00:10:37You skinny motherfucker.
00:10:39What are you weighing?
00:10:40What are you weighing?
00:10:41The bright and three months.
00:10:42Yeah?
00:10:43First time since middle school.
00:10:44Fuck.
00:10:45First time since middle school.
00:10:47Yeah, what's your spine feel like?
00:10:49God, I can feel it.
00:10:50Right?
00:10:50I don't know where it's at.
00:10:51My ass crack went down a little bit.
00:10:53Oh my gosh.
00:10:54I'm proud of you, man.
00:10:55Fuck.
00:10:56It's fucking inspiring.
00:10:58Makes me want to go to the gym right fucking down here.
00:11:02I'll tell you what.
00:11:03Did you watch any of the video?
00:11:04I did.
00:11:05He's in better shit.
00:11:06He's good.
00:11:07He ain't fucking bad.
00:11:08He ain't bad.
00:11:10That was...
00:11:11Second time in the ring.
00:11:12Yeah, but I mean, like, literally, they worked out for like an hour or two,
00:11:16and then he did, like, the first five minutes of a match.
00:11:19Yeah.
00:11:20It was pretty good.
00:11:22It's like he was bouncing around the other day, like, in between shit,
00:11:25and he was, like, throwing jabs, and I was like, this motherfucker's dusty.
00:11:29Like, he's, like, a sloppier version of dusty.
00:11:32He would get up, he'd get knocked down or whatever,
00:11:34and he'd get up and do the, like, dance around, bounce around shit,
00:11:37and I thought, god damn, there could be something there.
00:11:42And in looking at different people to team with Jelly Roll,
00:11:46you've got to have a leader.
00:11:47You've got to have someone that can control everybody and everything.
00:11:53Randy Orton was perfect for a tag team partner.
00:11:55When you look at assholes to beat up, you got Drew McIntyre.
00:11:59That's an easy one.
00:12:00And then Logan Paul.
00:12:01It really fell together very well.
00:12:13Are you ready for the punch?
00:12:14I'll be a lot more ready in three weeks.
00:12:16I'm sore.
00:12:17I'm still sore.
00:12:18The first hill, I'm still sore.
00:12:19I'm a weekend.
00:12:20I'm sore now.
00:12:21Shoulder hurts.
00:12:21Neck hurts.
00:12:22Everything's bruised everywhere.
00:12:25Once we get cameras out here and everything Jelly,
00:12:27we'll go over tonight.
00:12:30When he comes face to face with you, he'll throw the punch,
00:12:33you block it, lay his ass out.
00:12:37Now you go back to Randy, and we'll do the Claymore.
00:12:39Oh, shit.
00:12:40Does that make sense?
00:12:42You feel good about everything, sir?
00:12:43Great.
00:12:44Yes, sir.
00:12:45The truth is, in this business, one of the hardest things to do
00:12:48is make everybody lose that sense of scripted or unscripted.
00:12:55If we can make people believe that Seth is injured,
00:12:59there's a really cool payoff at the end.
00:13:02There wasn't very many people in on it that knew about it,
00:13:05very much like the John Cena elimination chamber situation.
00:13:10For this to work to perfection, that circle of people that were in the know
00:13:14had to be very small.
00:13:15Okay.
00:13:16I want to smarten you up to something that nobody knows.
00:13:19Okay.
00:13:19Um, so we're, and, and, but I want you to not repeat it to anybody, but you're our guy.
00:13:29You need to know what's going on here.
00:13:31Okay.
00:13:33We're going to do an angle tonight where Seth closes Neo in this match of L.A. night.
00:13:37Okay.
00:13:38Paul, we're going to, we're going to do this now because they got to steal L.A.
00:13:43We're kayfaving this like a motherfucker.
00:13:45So I don't want you to mention it to anybody because everybody will feel like,
00:13:48well, Connor told everybody, and now, you know, got out.
00:13:51The only people that really know me, Bruce, Ed, Bobby Roode, Seth, L.A.
00:13:56Um, Heyman knows because he was there when I came up with it.
00:13:59Yeah.
00:14:00Right now, that's it.
00:14:01I don't know what move they're going to do yet, but he'll do something towards the end
00:14:04of the match where he, like, blows his knee out in L.A., sets up for the next thing, but
00:14:08like Seth ain't there.
00:14:09He's not coming.
00:14:10He's down.
00:14:10He goes to Jess.
00:14:11Jess gives the X.
00:14:13Medical comes out, legit, goes to him.
00:14:16Wow.
00:14:17He'll call an audible.
00:14:18Yeah.
00:14:19Which Jess will go tell L.A. night.
00:14:21Did the referee need to know?
00:14:22No.
00:14:24Her responsibility is report if somebody is injured or not injured.
00:14:28Did medical need to know?
00:14:30Yes.
00:14:31Because I can't let them believe an injury is real.
00:14:34If they believe an injury is real, they have the power to shut it all down.
00:14:38Wise man once told me two people you can't lie to in life, your lawyer and your doctor.
00:14:43He'll take a BFT from L.A. night, get me.
00:14:46L.A. night will leave.
00:14:47We'll help Seth out of the ring.
00:14:49Yeah.
00:14:50One of the few people that I couldn't, in good conscience, let think that this was real
00:14:55was L.A. night.
00:14:57I'm sure Seth will just say, tell him to, when I pull myself up, tell him to fucking give
00:15:02me his finish and just go over.
00:15:04And like, whether you kick him, you give it to him, or just he'll feed you and you just
00:15:08give it, you know what I mean?
00:15:09No.
00:15:09We'll figure that out.
00:15:11But Seth came to me and he said, why does L.A. night need to know?
00:15:13I don't feel like he needs to know.
00:15:14And I said, Seth, if the roles were reversed on this and I didn't tell you, you would be
00:15:20out of your mind pissed at me because you're a professional and you're in the ring and
00:15:25your first thought is make sure your opponent is safe and doesn't get hurt and all these
00:15:29things, and he gets hurt on your watch, and then you find out later it was all bullshit?
00:15:35You'd be out of your mind mad that I didn't clue you in on that.
00:15:38And he paused for a few seconds, looking at me like, fair enough, and he never brought
00:15:44it up again, right?
00:15:45He has to know.
00:15:47If you're able to like, if he just feeds you, and you pull him out and you just hit
00:15:50it, as awkward as it could possibly look, and be very careful hooking his leg.
00:15:57But we're going to play it off as full-blown legit.
00:15:59Yeah, this is going to hook him.
00:16:00So he's out.
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:01Oh, that's great.
00:16:03Awesome.
00:16:03Okay.
00:16:06Oh, happy day.
00:16:12I was nervous about everything.
00:16:14I was nervous about, could I hurt somebody?
00:16:16What if I come in this business for just one night into their world selfishly, and I hurt
00:16:20one of these guys?
00:16:21You know, I didn't want nobody to get hurt on my watch.
00:16:23That was super important to me.
00:16:24Fa la la la la la la.
00:16:27Fa la la la la la.
00:16:29Fa la la la la.
00:16:30Fa la la la la.
00:16:32He taught me how.
00:16:35What?
00:16:36All right.
00:16:37Yeah, there you go.
00:16:38The hardest part of that night was fireworks happening inside of me and me not being able
00:16:44to emote it.
00:16:45Tonight, everyone is buzzing about this spectacle.
00:16:50Several nights being event.

00:20:11that's why I love wrestling
00:20:14unique to the WWE universe
00:20:16I'll never hear that again in a jelly roll show in my life
00:20:18unless God and the WWE blessed me to come back there

00:20:39he's gonna be good man
00:20:40yeah
00:20:41I wasn't really sure when Bruce first sat me down
00:20:44what was that
00:20:45I wasn't really sure when Bruce first sat me down
00:20:49put it this way
00:20:50having
00:20:50having seen that motherfucker train
00:20:52because at first I was like
00:20:53I'll put him in a little something
00:20:55it'll be a fucking big deal
00:20:56I watched him go in and train twice
00:20:59they sent me the video
00:20:59so I was like
00:21:01okay now I'm thinking bigger
00:21:02and I was like
00:21:03he's all in dude
00:21:04I'm very thankful for the spot
00:21:06thank you
00:21:07let's not learn
00:21:08side of the fact
00:21:14a lot of the creative
00:21:17ideas that I've had in my career
00:21:19have been mine
00:21:20this one I can't take full credit for
00:21:23what I saw when this idea was presented to me
00:21:26was an end game
00:21:28that created a moment
00:21:30that was special and memorable
00:21:35that's really what our industry is
00:21:37is a series of moments
00:21:39storytelling that builds to special moments
00:21:42moments that affect our audience
00:21:44on deep level
00:21:48if this was a real situation
00:21:50how would we all react
00:21:51I didn't want to overreact
00:21:53I think Triple H as well
00:21:55and Bruce and Guerrilla
00:21:56acted as if it was real
00:21:57there was only four people
00:21:59five people six
00:22:00maybe at the most
00:22:00that actually knew
00:22:01what the situation actually was
00:22:05two-time
00:22:06United States champion
00:22:07LA Knight
00:22:08battling the five-time
00:22:09world champion
00:22:10Seth Rollins
00:22:11Seth Rollins
00:22:12and Rollins now
00:22:13launched outside the ring
00:22:14to the pool
00:22:15that's how we keep going
00:22:18we did have to make sure that
00:22:20we didn't get the bell rung
00:22:21you know in situations like that
00:22:22when someone is actually hurt
00:22:24typically we'll ring the bell right away
00:22:26we had to be very very careful
00:22:28that we didn't do that
00:22:30Brian
00:22:31kayfabe just me and you
00:22:32a little bit of fucking
00:22:34uh
00:22:35fuckery here
00:22:36kayfabe fuckery
00:22:38on the end of this thing
00:22:39do not let the fucking ring bell ring
00:22:43until the 1-2-3 happens
00:22:45and I will tell you when
00:22:48as I wrapped my head around it
00:22:50I realized it was a brilliant piece
00:22:51of storytelling
00:22:53but you want to protect everybody involved
00:22:56you want to protect the company
00:22:58you want to protect your baby faces
00:23:01in this case
00:23:02LA Knight
00:23:03oh
00:23:04and a knee range
00:23:05in the midsection
00:23:05frog splash coming
00:23:06the visionary now
00:23:08heading up to the top rope
00:23:09looking to put LA Knight away
00:23:11frog splash to the injured midsection
00:23:13and rims
00:23:13Rollins for the win
00:23:15hook to the leg
00:23:16and a kick out
00:23:19that's the fun part of what we do as performers
00:23:21you never know
00:23:22you never know when it's a work
00:23:23and when it's a shoot
00:23:26LA Knight
00:23:26on the cross line
00:23:28and out Knight
00:23:29looking to rally
00:23:30and that gray area is what makes us special as performers
00:23:38if you can see through every single thing that we do
00:23:40it becomes
00:23:43boring
00:23:54when you get into the excitement of telling a story
00:23:59you look to exhaust whatever resources you have to tell that story in the best possible way
00:24:08and Rollins
00:24:09with a bustle bomb
00:24:11I don't think there's any line that can't be crossed
00:24:14it's just you got to figure out what's worth crossing
00:24:18and now Rollins
00:24:19oh there's that flying senton
00:24:21springboard senton
00:24:22by Rollins
00:24:23and now a moonsault
00:24:24lands on his feet
00:24:25may have tweaked his knee
00:24:27it's all right
00:24:28you all right
00:24:28and now LA Knight
00:24:30with an opportunity
00:24:31it's not okay
00:24:32Rollins into the corner
00:24:33the official area
00:24:34to check on Rollins
00:24:36oh no
00:24:38back off LA
00:24:39back off LA
00:24:39back off LA
00:24:40tell him to give him a minute
00:24:42Rollins tweaking his knee
00:24:43Heyman over to check on his man
00:24:45let's let's get
00:24:46we need doc
00:24:47do we need the doc
00:24:56the ringside doctor now is over consulting with the official on the situation with Rollins
00:25:03what's he saying Jess
00:25:03is he all right
00:25:07you hear that
00:25:08you good with that
00:25:09what was that
00:25:11he once said
00:25:12Seth is fucked
00:25:13he said LA hit his finish
00:25:14okay
00:25:15you got to do it
00:25:16tell LA
00:25:17tell LA
00:25:18just whatever Seth told him
00:25:20Rollins
00:25:21hobbling back up
00:25:22into the corner
00:25:23LA Knight
00:25:23BS BFT
00:25:25by LA Knight
00:25:26this is the finish
00:25:27finish finish
00:25:28cover down
00:25:28hook of the leg
00:25:29at night
00:25:30go Larry
00:25:36get doc in there
00:25:37get doc in there
00:25:37and that is a bleak sight
00:25:39seeing
00:25:40Seth
00:25:41freaking Rollins
00:25:42down and out
00:25:43get LA out
00:25:44tell him to sell up the ramp
00:25:48truly
00:25:49catastrophic
00:25:49moment here
00:25:52is that his bad knee
00:25:53the knee that he's
00:25:53I don't know
00:25:54just give him some room
00:25:58moments ago Rollins tweaking
00:26:01the knee
00:26:01it appears to be much more serious than we first thought
00:26:08when the time comes everything changes
00:26:12and I think that suddenness
00:26:14is what alerts people to believing that it's real
00:26:20and that's the art of it
00:26:21anybody that doesn't need a beer
00:26:23get everybody out of here so he can get through
00:26:27what matters this much
00:26:30this much doubt
00:26:33that's all we need
00:26:35this much doubt
00:26:37this much doubt
00:26:37if you have that
00:26:38that's where the magic happens in our business
00:26:41that's what makes it special
00:26:43just that little bit of I don't know
00:26:46that didn't come off
00:26:47unbelievable
00:26:48just out of nowhere
00:26:49out of nowhere
00:26:50yep
00:26:51the way they shot it
00:26:52Jess's
00:26:53everything
00:26:54everything was really good
00:26:55how did it feel out there
00:26:57how did it feel out there
00:26:57it felt legit awkward
00:26:58awkward yeah
00:26:58yeah
00:26:59it was supposed to feel awkward
00:27:01it was awkward backstage too
00:27:02it was great
00:27:08it was awkward as hell
00:27:09but that's kind of what sold it
00:27:10so um
00:27:11with it being that awkward
00:27:13it just kind of
00:27:14you know
00:27:14it probably felt flat in the moment
00:27:16but that also allowed people to be like
00:27:18oh shit
00:27:18okay
00:27:19yeah
00:27:20dude's really hurt
00:27:21just about the cameras off
00:27:23for just two seconds
00:27:23please
00:27:25LA Knight played it perfectly
00:27:26his facial expressions were on point
00:27:29of
00:27:30oh shit
00:27:31no
00:27:31you could see his confusion
00:27:34and you could see his
00:27:36ah shit
00:27:37okay
00:27:39it
00:27:39helped
00:27:41fans
00:27:41to believe
00:27:42in the moment
00:27:43that
00:27:44hmm
00:27:45something real just happened
00:27:49LA did great
00:27:50played it to a tee
00:27:51we were able to get out of that situation
00:27:53making it look like it was an actual
00:27:55real injury
00:27:58you know you got cameras and shit all the way
00:27:59yeah
00:28:00yeah
00:28:00yeah
00:28:00yeah
00:28:00yeah
00:28:01yeah
00:28:08from the second
00:28:10I got hurt
00:28:11you had speculation all over
00:28:13the internet about what
00:28:15what this was going to lead to
00:28:17if it was real
00:28:18if it was not real
00:28:19wow
00:28:20Seth Rollins really might be answered
00:28:22yeah
00:28:24there was every story under the sun
00:28:26and so
00:28:28when everything was flooded
00:28:30you had no idea what the truth was
00:28:47no one
00:28:48really knew
00:28:49what was going on
00:28:51you had no idea what the truth was going on
00:28:56you had no idea what the truth was going on
00:29:19you had no idea what the truth was
00:29:22okay
00:29:23of course
00:29:25for him
00:29:27here
00:29:28he would
00:29:29know
00:29:38after
00:29:39I have to do it, because I am the champion.
00:29:43Four, three, two, one.
00:29:56My first name is Masami, in real name.
00:30:00So, Masami, but nobody called me Masami,
00:30:02because I started wrestling since 16 years old.
00:30:07I used to use my ring name, Io Shirai.
00:30:13Oh my, what?
00:30:15Io Shirai!
00:30:16Oh!
00:30:18But now, my name is Io Shirai.ćć¼ćććŖćć§ćć¾ććē§ć®ć¹ćæć¤ć«ćććććØć«ććé«ććØććććé£ć¶ććć”ćććć±ć¼ćøć®äøććé£ć³éćććć

00:30:36Tax and Mike!
00:30:38Connected!
00:30:40And...
00:30:41...ć¾ćć my finishing moveć...
00:30:42...Over the MoonsaultćØčØćć
00:30:44Genius of a Sky!
00:30:45Moonsault!
00:30:46Cover!
00:30:49Io Sky!
00:30:50World games is my favorite. I did climb up the cage and then I put on the trash can. Put
00:31:01on my head. She's the genius of the sky, but this is ridiculous!
00:31:08I'm kind of stupid. I didn't realize since I put on the trash can. I couldn't see anything. And so
00:31:15dark here. Soē§ćÆćŖćć¦ćć«ćŖćć ć£ć¦ęćć¾ćććć®ęćććęććŖć£ććć§ććć©ćććććć仄äøęćć£ć¦ęćåć«é£ć¶ćććŖćć£ć¦čØć£ć¦ććé£ć³éćć¾ćć
00:31:33Oh my god! Mio Skye from the top of the cage with a trash can out of her head! Wipe
00:31:42it out everybody!
00:31:47So that's crazy. I know.
00:31:53I'm so short. My height is 5.2. 158cm. So walking outside like I walk on the street so nobody
00:32:05think about I am a wrestler.
00:32:07No! Mio from day one to me just had this innate charisma. Mio Skye!
00:32:15When she walks out, there's just little things she does. If I said to somebody five years ago, hey we're
00:32:22gonna have a female, then that is going to be like this huge thing, right? Like, you'd be like, get
00:32:27out of here. Mio Skye!
00:32:29When she does it, it's money. It's spectacular.
00:32:32If I was to get decimated on a roster of people and say,
00:32:35we got to start over, I would look at it and say,
00:32:38if you leave me EO, I'm good.
00:32:45The impetus for the Evolution P.O. Lee,
00:32:47and it dates back about a decade to around 2015.
00:32:52Our audience kind of took to social media.
00:32:54They wanted our female superstars to have as much airtime
00:32:59and investment in their stories as the male superstars do.
00:33:03So that's where the concept of Evolution came about,
00:33:05and it carried on to then this past year
00:33:09where we did our second Evolution P.O. Lee.
00:33:12The main event with Rhea Ripley versus EO Sky
00:33:15was a perfect main event for that show
00:33:18because, one, Rhea and EO have amazing chemistry,
00:33:22but also because Rhea Ripley,
00:33:25who some may argue our biggest superstar in general,
00:33:29has never beaten EO Sky.
00:33:30And so it was kind of that quest to kind of, you know,
00:33:33win back the title that Rhea has lost.
00:33:36EO Sky conquers!
00:33:38Over the load zone connects!
00:33:39Sky! Cover! Puts the leg!
00:33:42EO Sky is the world champion!
00:33:46And so that quest to kind of see Rhea finally conquer
00:33:49what she has not yet been able to conquer
00:33:51was just kind of a natural kind of big fight feel story line for that show.
00:33:56At Evolution, I can choose who to defend the women's world championship.
00:34:03And that means Rhea Ripley!
00:34:14And that means Rhea Ripley!
00:34:23Rhea Ripley!
00:34:27Rhea Ripley!
00:34:28Rhea Ripley!
00:34:55Rhea Ripley!
00:34:58Rhea Ripley!
00:34:58Rhea Ripley!
00:34:59Rhea Ripley!
00:35:00Rhea Ripley!
00:35:00Rhea Ripley!
00:35:00Who ever has the money in the bank briefcase,
00:35:02you have to keep it with you and take it everywhere you go.
00:35:07But I also clean it out when I'm traveling.
00:35:11So I don't get in trouble.
00:35:13Because I be having all kinds of stuff in there.
00:35:15Well, I'm just packing my briefcase,
00:35:18new caution belt.
00:35:19Mm-hmm.
00:35:19Choke somebody.
00:35:20What you call this?
00:35:22A thong harness.
00:35:24I was like...
00:35:26Mm-hmm.
00:35:27Ah.
00:35:29OK.
00:35:30Yeah, go ahead.
00:35:32Caution fan.
00:35:34Got all faithful.
00:35:38Fully charged.
00:35:39This is just in case you're trying to shock a bitch.
00:35:41Some pepper gel.
00:35:43Hey, hold on.
00:35:44Pepper gel.
00:35:44Hold on.
00:35:45What is it?
00:35:45The lock is on.
00:35:46It's on security.
00:35:47You don't even know how to use it.
00:35:49It's OK.
00:35:50I'll figure it out on the day of.
00:35:52Gear.
00:35:53Fresh pack of blades.
00:35:55A little something to take the edge off.
00:35:57Always got to have a fresh wig on deck.
00:36:00Never know when this one will get snatched.
00:36:02Rat pellets, the poison jade ass, and my contract.
00:36:08Hold on.
00:36:09I got one more thing left.
00:36:10Hold on.
00:36:10Hold on, girl.
00:36:11Before you close that, go on, go on, put this.
00:36:14Go on, put this right up in there.
00:36:15Hold on.
00:36:16You want to do some crazy thing about your boy?
00:36:18Aw, foofy.
00:36:21All right.
00:36:22I can't do nothing without my foofy foofy.
00:36:25You know that makes you an accomplice now.
00:36:28I love you.
00:36:29You're doing good, though.
00:36:29I love you.
00:36:30Love you.
00:36:31I love you so much.
00:36:41Naomi, did you get all your junk out of there before they
00:36:43take it away from you?
00:36:44When the time is right, I'll pull her out.
00:36:46Is that your regular, legitimate suitcase?
00:36:49What the fuck is going on in there?
00:36:51Shot glass?
00:37:11I was telling Io to possibly make a moment out of this, like, climb up here, act like she's
00:37:18going to dive, then look up, go up further, if you think that's warranted.
00:37:25The edge will be right here.
00:37:27So you're going to be right there.
00:37:29That's the edge, right there.
00:37:31Yeah.
00:37:32Okay?
00:37:33Yeah.
00:37:34You want somebody to bring you a trash can?
00:37:37Right in.
00:37:37This is an area that we are prepping for one of Io Sky's high falls, you know, which she
00:37:45loves height.
00:37:50What's your, what is your concern?
00:37:55The bump that Rhea's got to take.
00:37:57Yeah, it's a hell of a bump.
00:37:57Are you padding this?
00:37:58Yes.
00:38:00I just want you to hit your head on the floor.
00:38:01Yeah.
00:38:01It's always a challenge to creatively make it look like it's part of our backstage gear,
00:38:09but to also give her a safe platform.
00:38:12Could you lay down?
00:38:14Yeah.
00:38:15All right.
00:38:18All right.
00:38:21I have no words how I'm feeling, so I'm just nervous and excited.
00:38:28Show must go on.
00:38:30Yeah.
00:38:31Come back to the two of you in the ring, like both sitting in the corner fucking
00:38:34cell and looking at each other like, what the fuck?
00:38:37Right?
00:38:37Yeah.
00:38:38Okay.
00:38:39You can actually even say that, like, what the fuck?
00:38:41Yeah.
00:38:41You know what I mean?
00:38:42What the fuck?
00:38:43Yeah.
00:38:44See?
00:38:44See?
00:38:45It still sounds cute.
00:38:46Phenomenal when you say it, yeah.
00:38:47It does.
00:38:48What the, you know, anybody else, you go their cuss, say, ah, it's Io.
00:38:52Too cute.
00:38:54Japanese accent.
00:38:55Yeah.
00:38:57That weekend of Evolution in Georgia ended up having a triple threat match.
00:39:02I'd had matches with Bayley, I'd had matches with Becky, but this time I had the two of
00:39:06them.
00:39:07I had been in a tag team with Bayley coming up to Mania.
00:39:11Bayley and Valkyria are heading to WrestleMania to take on the tag champs.
00:39:17And then we found out that Becky was returning and she was essentially going to take Bayley's
00:39:24spot as my tag team partner for the biggest show of the year.
00:39:28Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what happened?
00:39:29What happened?
00:39:30Are you good?
00:39:30No, no, no, you're not good.
00:39:31What happened?
00:39:32It was, like, bittersweet in a way when I was told that this was going to happen because,
00:39:37you know, I was excited to have Becky back.
00:39:39But, like, it started really singing, like, how much it sucks, like, as professional as
00:39:44I can be.
00:39:45Man, I worked for that, you know, I worked for that.
00:39:48Bayley deserved to have a WrestleMania match.
00:39:51And I was taking her out.
00:39:54And really, right up until the last moment, I was like, ah, should we maybe do this differently?
00:39:59I'm not even on social media, so I don't know.
00:40:01But I believe the vibe is, like, they're like, oh, it's going to be Becky, ah, that's going
00:40:06to, ah, we feel bad for Bayley.
00:40:08So, at a last minute picture, you can tell me to go fuck off.
00:40:11So, WrestleMania is like Christmas.
00:40:13You're being good all year long so that you get the most amount of toys on Christmas day.
00:40:18Like, that's how it works.
00:40:20It felt like I was the Grinch.
00:40:23Like, I'm taking all your toys.
00:40:24I know, you don't want to take it away from her.
00:40:26We don't want to take it away from her.
00:40:27I hear you.
00:40:28You know?
00:40:28I hear you.
00:40:30Let me think.
00:40:31Let me think about it.
00:40:32And if there's anybody else.
00:40:33I got kind of pissed out of Becky.
00:40:35Fuck him.
00:40:36But, like, I don't want to be put in the match because we begged for it.
00:40:41I had already accepted it at that point.
00:40:43We're so happy and excited.
00:40:45I'm so happy for you.
00:40:47So we took this thing that happened, that we had no control over, that was very real,
00:40:53and used it on screen.
00:40:54I keep hoping things will go back to the way they were with us before WrestleMania, but you
00:40:58just won't let that happen.
00:40:59We went on from that moment and told the story with the three of us.
00:41:04Evolution, the women's show.
00:41:06It was so important that we had a banger.
00:41:10Welcome to Atlanta.
00:41:13Tonight, we get ready for an historic event.
00:41:16WWE Evolution.
00:41:18Here we go.
00:41:20Fuck yeah, Bayley.
00:41:24For Becky Lynch, it's about defending the title tonight.
00:41:26The Intercontinental Championship defended a triple threat match for the first time ever.
00:41:38The crowd sounds different, right?
00:41:40I think there was a lot more girls.
00:41:42I love it.
00:41:44Here we go.
00:41:52They're on their feet in Atlanta!
00:41:54Damn, Paragon.
00:41:55Crazy already.
00:41:57First woman to gain pinfall or submission becomes the Intercontinental Champion.
00:42:08Dog eat dog world at the very top.
00:42:12There should be all no friendship.
00:42:14Ignorance is your new best friend.
00:42:17Ignorance is your new best friend.
00:42:19And this is the best thing that could have happened any longer and I would have made it.
00:42:25It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture.
00:42:28I'm just a person, but you can't take it.
00:42:31You can't say what Tricks said.
00:42:32Hell yeah, Lyra.
00:42:33They won't get you anywhere.
00:42:36I'm not the same kid from your memory.
00:42:39Well, now I can fend for our team.
00:42:42So when I hear your sad song, I wanna hear your name.
00:42:45When it's over, it's not my fault.
00:42:47Cause you know you're not the same.
00:42:48When you're the same, though we're not the same.
00:42:54This crowd is red hot tonight.
00:42:57Well, they are getting a show from these three women.
00:43:00Three of the absolute best.
00:43:02They're doing fucking awesome.
00:43:12Bayley's hair is magnificent.
00:43:15Like Michael Hayes in the morning.
00:43:17She looks insane.
00:43:19Like if it was blue, she would look like fucking Marge Simpson, right?
00:43:27Maybe trying to Rose Plant here.
00:43:29Oh!
00:43:29Oh my God!
00:43:38Bayley saves the matchup.
00:43:40Perfect time.
00:43:41We're heading home right here.
00:43:43Here comes our finish, guys.
00:43:44that two goals.
00:43:45Hey!
00:43:45Becky.
00:43:46I'm losing.
00:43:46Go!
00:43:49Rose Plant, finally.
00:43:52Ooh!
00:43:53He stacks up lava, Becky from behind.
00:43:56Ow, nice.
00:43:59Becky retains.
00:44:03Here is your winner, the fan, Becky Lynch.
00:44:13That was great.
00:44:15I'll tell you right now, this is the coolest pin I have ever seen in my entire time watching wrestling.
00:44:24One, two, three.
00:44:30All three women brought their absolute A game tonight.
00:44:35Becky Lynch successfully retains the Women's Intercontinental Championship in a classic.
00:44:44Is that alright?
00:44:45Yeah. No, more than alright.
00:44:46Hell yeah.
00:44:48You okay?
00:44:54I was just zapped back to 2018 to show myself one match.
00:45:00Just even the flash of the match graphic of me, Becky and Bailey.
00:45:04I genuinely wouldn't believe it.
00:45:05That finish was awesome.
00:45:07Yeah.
00:45:07It looked great.
00:45:09I'm a fucking athlete.
00:45:12Not the only athlete in Ireland now, huh?
00:45:16No, honestly, I'm not that great of an athlete.
00:45:18So, like, that was the most athletic I've ever felt in my entire life.
00:45:23I'm in there with two of the best.
00:45:25And it's an honour to be right there side by side.
00:45:33My favourite thing about what we do has always been the magic you feel when everyone in the room is
00:45:38on the same journey watching a wrestling match.
00:45:41Like, there's nothing better.
00:45:42And to have had that evolution, like to wrestle two women that really made me want to do this on
00:45:46this specific card, you just can't summarise how special this is to me and how much it means to every
00:45:51woman in this locker room today.
00:45:53Breathe.
00:45:56The following is a no holds barred match!
00:46:05In this match, there are no count outs, no disqualifications, no holds barred!
00:46:14Time to make order.
00:46:17Here to get the girlies in check.
00:46:19Tonight, this is done.
00:46:21Please welcome special guest referee, Bianca Belair!
00:46:32You know, Wade, we were talking earlier today about whether Bianca Belair can call this one down the middle.
00:46:36Yeah, where do Belair's loyalties really lie?
00:46:40Hasn't spoken to either Naomi or Jade really since Elimination Chamber.
00:46:45We knew where we wanted to end.
00:46:46We knew that we had Naomi that was going to cash in.
00:46:51We knew we were going there.
00:46:53But first, the culmination of the Naomi-Jade rivalry.
00:46:58This is the fourth women's no holds barred match in WWE history.
00:47:05Naomi, not thinking about the contract tonight, she's thinking about surviving Jade Cargill.
00:47:10There she comes.
00:47:12Speared by Cargill!
00:47:15And now a steel chain.
00:47:18Cleaning the clock from Naomi!
00:47:20Jade Cargill just grabbed the camera from the cameraman and now...
00:47:25It's going to be up close and personal!
00:47:29Jade now measuring Naomi.
00:47:32A big kick!
00:47:33Weapons match.
00:47:35Jade beat the hell out of Naomi.
00:47:37Nice chair shot!
00:47:39We're working to the Jaded.
00:47:41Please hit this, girls.
00:47:42From up there, she'll break her in half!
00:47:47Jaded!
00:47:47Good shift!
00:47:50One, two, three!
00:47:52Cargill with the win!
00:47:54Have them tell Naomi to sell big.
00:47:59See?
00:48:00Tell Naomi to sell big.
00:48:01Naomi has to sell big no matter what.
00:48:04Tell Naomi don't move.
00:48:05Just stay down.
00:48:07I thought it was pulled off to perfection.
00:48:13When Naomi was in the ring, you think, I have seen the last of Naomi.
00:48:17You don't even think about the Money in the Bank briefcase.
00:48:22Do you have something to do now or do you want to go...
00:48:25I have to do this kind of running.
00:48:27Okay.
00:48:31Let me see if they want to glue it first.
00:48:34Are you doing it during this match?
00:48:35That's him.
00:48:36Okay.
00:48:36You got like 30 minutes.
00:48:37Okay.
00:48:40I would just let the blood drip and dry.
00:48:43Okay.
00:48:45All right, Brewer.
00:48:46We're every bit of 25, 30 minutes.
00:48:48Can you go 20?
00:48:49Fuck no.
00:48:50Okay.
00:48:51You make the others do their fucking times.
00:48:53I'm the fucking main event.
00:48:55I'm gonna do what the fuck I want to.
00:48:59The following contest scheduled for one fall is for...
00:49:03The Women's World Championship!
00:49:21The Women's World Championship!
00:49:25She's won tag titles and NXT titles in the Royal Rumble.
00:49:31But tonight would feel oh so good for the Eradicator.
00:49:35From Tokyo, Japan.
00:49:38EO!
00:49:40SKY!
00:49:43Remember what happened back in March.
00:49:46When EO SKY shocked everyone, taking the championship from Rhea Ripley.
00:49:54The two best female wrestlers on planet Earth in 2025.
00:49:59The question remains though, who is one and who is two?
00:50:03And DT.

00:55:56This solidifies that. It improves that.
00:56:00It's very emotional. I'm trying to keep it together.
00:56:03First time ever being the women's world champion.
00:56:07Who knows what's ahead of me now?
00:56:09Oh, you're badass.
00:56:11Oh, you're badass. How'd that feel?
00:56:13Amazing.
00:56:14It just shows that as women in wrestling, we're still progressing.
00:56:19We're still getting better.
00:56:20For those who have been watching me since 2009,
00:56:23if I could just sum it all up of my journey, it's just to keep going.
00:56:29Evolution is such a massive deal for us women here in the WWE,
00:56:32and just women in general.
00:56:33There's a lot of male-dominated things.
00:56:35Sports, businesses, etc.
00:56:38So to have something that's like all women is such a massive, massive deal to us.
00:56:44Give me a rock star.
00:56:46I'm so glad.
00:56:47I'm so glad.
00:56:48Thank you so much.
00:56:49Thank you for giving me this opportunity.
00:56:51Oh, it's so good.
00:56:52You were great.
00:56:53You always believe in me.
00:56:55Thank you so much.
00:56:55I always will.
00:56:56You were great.
00:56:57Rock star.
00:56:58A lot of times backstage, I could just call her rock star
00:57:03because I don't know how to put a label on her for anything else.
00:57:07She's just the nicest human being of all time.
00:57:10We'll do whatever you want, and we'll come back, and just...
00:57:13She's just hoping that you tell her it was good.
00:57:15And when you tell her it was good, it's like the world lit up for her.
00:57:18You know, most people, when they're up high, they just dive.
00:57:22Yep.
00:57:22Right? No jump.
00:57:23You jump up.
00:57:24Oh, yeah.
00:57:24I did. I did.
00:57:25Very good.
00:57:26Oh, thank you.
00:57:27Yeah, I enjoyed it.
00:57:28I fried.
00:57:29Okay.
00:57:30Oh, thank you.
00:57:31There you go.
00:57:33Lucky.
00:57:34Does that scare you?
00:57:35No, no.
00:57:36I want to be special.
00:57:39I will take any risk to become I am superstar.
00:57:47This is what we work so hard for,
00:57:50and it's all accumulated to this moment right here
00:57:52because this is what the future of the women here in WWE
00:57:57are going to show,
00:57:59and we're going to take our opportunities.
00:58:00We're not going to wait for them anymore,
00:58:02and this is exactly where we start.
00:58:04So it was a really cool experience.
00:58:10Let's talk about evolution.
00:58:12Just what a night.
00:58:15The bar for what women do in this industry,
00:58:17all of it has been raised so high.
00:58:20Man, they showed tonight what a change
00:58:22that business has been for them.
00:58:25Incredibly proud of them.
00:58:27I'm sure somebody here will ask about Seth.
00:58:30He came here tonight.
00:58:31He was not going to miss his wife's performance tonight.
00:58:34He will be in Birmingham tomorrow with Dr. Dugas.
00:58:37I'll just say right now, a little bit inconclusive.
00:58:39Doesn't look good, but we'll get MRI
00:58:43and hope for the best.
00:58:47So keeping a secret,
00:58:50not letting people know that Seth Rollins
00:58:53doesn't need crutches,
00:58:56that's part of the thrill.
00:58:58Is it secrecy?
00:59:01Is it a work?
00:59:03Or is it simply the planning of performance art?
00:59:12On me.
00:59:14Now.
00:59:16Burn it down!
00:59:19Burn it down!
00:59:19Burn it down!
00:59:19Burn it down!
00:59:19Burn it down!
00:59:20Burn it down!
00:59:24Burn it down!

00:59:33Burn it down!
00:59:34Burn it down!
