00:04:28This is Wrestlemania Saturday at Allegiant Stadium.
00:04:31But we are not done tonight.
00:04:33This is a two-night event.
00:04:35Tomorrow, Wrestlemania Sunday.
00:04:37The first hour will be on ESPN for the first time ever.
00:04:41It will kick off with Brock Lesnar versus Ova Femi.
00:04:45The rest of the night takes place on the ESPN app with the unlimited plan.
00:04:50And the main event will be the world champion, CM Punk versus Roman Reigns.
00:04:55And it's been a long and winding road for the Second City Saint.
00:04:59His wrestling debut, LWF 1997.
00:05:02His journey through the Indies would continue mid-American wrestling.
00:05:06Then off to St. Paul Championship Wrestling.
00:05:08He would find his feet in Ring of Honor two decades ago.
00:05:12Then his dream would come true 20 years ago.
00:05:15His WWE debut in the reborn ECW.
00:05:18Then he would win his first world championship in 2008.
00:05:21The famous controversial pipe bomb in 2011, 2014.
00:05:26He would leave WWE for nearly a decade before the improbable return in 2023.
00:05:32And now, Reigns as the world champion to face Roman Reigns tomorrow night.
00:05:46wipe me.
00:05:49I feel like bad decisions but you still want to write.
00:05:56I feel like bad decisions, but you still wanna bite
00:06:04Trouble, trouble, that's me
00:06:07Cheer it into bad energy
00:06:11Say one, say it twice, and I'll give it to you all night
00:06:15I'm your bad, bad, your bad advice
00:06:20I mean, say my name like it's a secret
00:06:24Say it low and say it out
00:06:26Try to frame me as the problem like I don't enjoy it now
00:06:29You want sweet, you want careful, you want safe behind the eyes
00:06:33But I flirt with every danger and I'm gonna apologize
00:06:39I mean
00:06:45All your eyes are on me lately
00:06:48Do I make you uncomfortable?
00:06:52I'm the fault that you shouldn't vanish
00:06:56I'm listening to you, but you can't confess
00:06:59Trouble, trouble, that's me
00:07:03Cheer it into bad energy
00:07:06Say one, say it twice, and I'll give it to you all night
00:07:10I'm your bad, bad, your bad advice

00:07:20I was never felt to bend
00:07:23If you push, I push it further
00:07:25Baby, watch who you offend
00:07:26Yeah, you'll be looking in the mirror
00:07:28I was made in your mouth
00:07:30Not choked on every word
00:07:32I was never what you wanted
00:07:34I'm just what you deserve
00:07:36All your eyes are on me lately
00:07:40Do I make you uncomfortable?
00:07:44I'm the fault that you shouldn't vanish
00:07:47I'm listening to you, but you can't confess
00:07:51Trouble, trouble, that's me

00:09:03You're bad, my bad advice
00:09:34For the first time in her career,
00:09:37Rob Primera, Stephanie Nekir walks to the ring
00:09:42and she's the women's world champion
00:09:46in a matchup where she faces Lynn Morgan
00:09:49for the very first time ever.
00:09:52A match that has become so personal.
00:09:54Just look at the face of Lynn Morgan.
00:09:56The bruises still on display
00:09:58after an attack a couple of weeks ago.
00:10:01Morgan winning the Royal Rumble this year
00:10:04after being the bridesmaid a couple of times.
00:10:07Earned this opportunity, chose Stephanie Nekir,
00:10:10and here we are tonight.
00:10:37She won the title in September at Wrestle Palooza.
00:10:41Tonight, she defends.
00:10:43And the women's world championship match
00:10:46is brought to you by Fortnite.
00:10:48Lynn Morgan and Stone Cold Steve Austin
00:10:50just crouched the biggest rivalry in Battle Royal.
00:10:54Team Foundation versus Team Ice King.
00:10:57Time to settle the score.
00:10:58Available now in the Fortnite item shop.
00:11:08Wouldn't be WrestleMania without the great Alicia Taylor.
00:11:14The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:11:20And it is for the Women's World Championship.
00:11:30Introducing first the challenger
00:11:32from Elmwood Park, New Jersey,
00:11:37Liv Morgan.
00:11:46And her opponent
00:11:48from San Fernando, Chile.
00:11:54She is the Women's World Champion,
00:12:01Stephanie Berker.
00:12:06You are looking at two of the biggest stars
00:12:09in our industry today.
00:12:12Stephanie Berker, Liv Morgan
00:12:13could not have had more opposite upbringings
00:12:17or more opposite pathway
00:12:20to get to this moment in their careers.
00:12:23The official Eddie Arango
00:12:24will be the referee for this match tonight.
00:12:28And I'll tell you right now,
00:12:30what Stephanie Berker has done
00:12:32since arriving in WWE
00:12:34has been absolutely incredible.
00:12:36The past two years,
00:12:37it has just been a long victory streak.
00:12:40She's been amazing.
00:12:41How has she done it?
00:12:42By being calm and composed.
00:12:44The master stroke of Liv Morgan
00:12:46leading into this match
00:12:47is she's turned highly emotional.
00:12:50And can Stephanie Berker compete with that
00:12:53considering Liv Morgan
00:12:55is a woman who thrives in chaos?
00:12:57And as you can see,
00:12:58the way this matchup starts,
00:12:59no love lost between these two women,
00:13:01Morgan and Berker.
00:13:02And Stephanie gonna chase Liv outside the ring.
00:13:04Now here's my question for you.
00:13:06Stephanie's been focused on this match
00:13:07for weeks and weeks and weeks.
00:13:09Liv Morgan has to an extent,
00:13:11but she's off film and music videos
00:13:13cutting that brand new song Trouble.
00:13:15You think her head's here or elsewhere?
00:13:17No, absolutely not.
00:13:18I think her head is right where it should be.
00:13:20She had one of the greatest 2024s
00:13:22of anybody.
00:13:242025 was wiped out by injury.
00:13:26Liv Morgan came back for one reason,
00:13:28to get back to the very top.
00:13:30Did the right thing in January.
00:13:32Won the Royal Rumble.
00:13:33Now is the time to finish the job.
00:13:35And Morgan, a two-time world champion.
00:13:38Hasn't had great success at Mania
00:13:39over her career,
00:13:41but hopes to change that tonight.
00:13:42Off the ropes,
00:13:43turns it into a power bomb.
00:13:44Stacks up the champ now.
00:13:46And Stephanie kicks out at two.
00:13:48Yeah, Liv Morgan's a woman
00:13:49who's been looked down upon
00:13:50by some quarters
00:13:52through her path of her career.
00:13:54Never quite considered
00:13:55at that top echelon.
00:13:56That changed in a big way
00:13:57over the past couple of years.
00:13:59And even to this day,
00:14:00the care isn't quite giving her the credit.
00:14:02I believe Liv Morgan deserves.
00:14:04Well, Stephanie,
00:14:04extremely confident.
00:14:06And there's a reason.
00:14:06She's not been pinned or submitted
00:14:08since coming to the main roster.
00:14:10Liv Morgan, nice suplex.
00:14:12And again,
00:14:13her boyfriend,
00:14:13Dirty Dominic Mysterio,
00:14:15and they both use this move.
00:14:16The three amigos made famous
00:14:18by the late, great Eddie Guerrero.
00:14:21He's so influential
00:14:22to the career of Dominic Mysterio.
00:14:25Liv Morgan now finds herself in control.
00:14:29What does Liv have to do
00:14:30to win the title tonight?
00:14:31That's to keep the pressure
00:14:33on Stephanie Vaquer
00:14:34at all times.
00:14:35We know full well
00:14:36that Stephanie Vaquer
00:14:37with a win in her sails
00:14:38only ever leads to victory.
00:14:40And Liv Morgan
00:14:41has to be acutely aware
00:14:42of getting the upper hand,
00:14:43which he has,
00:14:44finishing the job.
00:14:45Liv now,
00:14:46from high above the ring,
00:14:47top rope,
00:14:48went for the front splash.
00:14:49And there you go.
00:14:50It was that beat
00:14:51on top of the turnbuckle
00:14:53that Liv Morgan
00:14:54doesn't normally pull off.
00:14:56That one moment
00:14:57was all the care needed.
00:14:58And here's your favorite move,
00:15:00Michael Cole.
00:15:02It's Booker's, by the way.
00:15:04And yours.
00:15:05Don't lie.
00:15:05Don't get shy now.
00:15:07And now Stephanie
00:15:08going to turn into
00:15:09the devil's kiss
00:15:10on Liv Morgan.
00:15:13And you would be wise
00:15:14to stay quiet
00:15:15before he's done.
00:15:21It doesn't seem like
00:15:22the pressure
00:15:23of the first Wrestlemania
00:15:24has been getting
00:15:24to Stephanie at all here.
00:15:27Oh, wow.
00:15:28Knees right to the jaw.
00:15:29That was beautiful.
00:15:30Cover by Stephanie Vaquer
00:15:32and a kick out by Morgan.
00:15:36And you're right.
00:15:37The pressure just
00:15:38doesn't get to Vaquer.
00:15:39That has been true
00:15:40of day one
00:15:41since she arrived in NXT
00:15:43a couple of years ago
00:15:44on a crash course
00:15:45all the way
00:15:46to the NXT championship
00:15:48and that momentum
00:15:49never slowed
00:15:50and here we go, Cole.
00:15:51Oh, nice reversal
00:15:52there from
00:15:53Liv Morgan.
00:15:55And Morgan now
00:15:55with a backstab.
00:16:00Booker might have been
00:16:01looking for that SVP
00:16:03at one point there
00:16:04but quickly turn it around
00:16:05acutely aware
00:16:06of the danger
00:16:07of that particular move
00:16:09was Morgan.
00:16:10And again,
00:16:11Liv Morgan.
00:16:11Oh, hold on.
00:16:12It's going over here, Cole.
00:16:15Hold on.
00:16:16Looked like she was
00:16:17going to go for
00:16:17Devil's Kiss
00:16:18and almost got caught.
00:16:20And that's the problem.
00:16:20You get a little too cocky
00:16:22in there with a world champ
00:16:23like Stephanie Vaquer
00:16:24you're going to get
00:16:24into problems.
00:16:26Now Stephanie with...
00:16:29Isn't it enough
00:16:29to retain the championship?
00:16:32That knee to the small
00:16:33in the back
00:16:34forcing Morgan to kick out.
00:16:35Just about kicking out there
00:16:38and living incredibly
00:16:39dangerously here
00:16:40as Liv Morgan
00:16:41and things are going
00:16:42completely off the rails
00:16:45double underhug
00:16:46with the knee blasted
00:16:47into the back of the neck.
00:16:49That has done so much damage
00:16:51to all opponents
00:16:52throughout the career
00:16:53of Vaquer.
00:16:54And somehow Liv Morgan
00:16:56is alive in this one
00:16:58but only just...
00:17:01Vaquer is also dragging
00:17:02at this point too
00:17:03as she can pick up
00:17:04the pace here
00:17:05but no!
00:17:06Code breaker
00:17:07by Morgan
00:17:09dropping Vaquer
00:17:10back toward the rope.
00:17:11Stephanie though
00:17:11able to roll through
00:17:12perhaps playing possum
00:17:13I don't think
00:17:13Liv got on!
00:17:14Oblivion!
00:17:15Stephanie just hit Liv
00:17:16with her own move
00:17:17Oblivion
00:17:18into the cover
00:17:19hooks both legs
00:17:20and Morgan's got to kick out.
00:17:22Well, what a major statement
00:17:24it would have been
00:17:25for Vaquer
00:17:25putting Liv Morgan away
00:17:27with her own
00:17:28specialized move
00:17:29the Oblivion
00:17:31but it was not to be
00:17:33and now is this like
00:17:34crisis starting to stir up
00:17:36in the mind of Lap Romero.
00:17:37Exactly
00:17:38but mentally
00:17:39this could screw up
00:17:40Morgan as well
00:17:41getting hit by her own
00:17:42move the Oblivion.
00:17:43Well, Matt
00:17:43Morgan's barely got anything
00:17:45in in the past couple
00:17:45of minutes in here
00:17:46and she's been hit
00:17:47with some major
00:17:48major offense
00:17:49from Lap Romero
00:17:50who looks like...
00:17:51Oh wait up
00:17:51up to the top rope
00:17:52that's Roxanne Perez
00:17:53but not a moment too soon.
00:17:54Stephanie Bacare
00:17:55first perhaps
00:17:56with a Bacare Inferno
00:17:58is what she calls it
00:17:59and now Raquel Rodriguez
00:18:00getting involved
00:18:01the numbers game
00:18:02from the judgment day
00:18:04Morgan
00:18:04Oblivion
00:18:07cover by Liv
00:18:09Stephanie kicks out
00:18:11Well, that was the game plan
00:18:13if things go wrong
00:18:15hit the ring
00:18:15help me out
00:18:16Roxanne with the distract
00:18:18the damage caused
00:18:19by the massive Raquel
00:18:21but somehow
00:18:22Bacare
00:18:23still lives on here
00:18:25and this is where
00:18:25it looked like
00:18:26it had gone south
00:18:27for Lap Romero
00:18:28Drake over the top rope
00:18:30followed up quickly
00:18:31with Oblivion
00:18:32referee
00:18:32absolutely clueless
00:18:34to what just went down
00:18:36and that was a late kick out
00:18:37but a kick out
00:18:38all the same
00:18:39Now if you're lit
00:18:40what do you do?
00:18:40You just hit your
00:18:41finishing move
00:18:42couldn't put Stephanie Bacare away
00:18:44Well, it's clearly going
00:18:44for a second part
00:18:45of the chair
00:18:46Oh, come on
00:18:46the official's got to do
00:18:47something about this
00:18:48Judgment Day
00:18:48it's just swarming
00:18:49all over the place
00:18:50out here
00:18:51Well, that's always been
00:18:52the playbook
00:18:52of the Judgment Day
00:18:54Lap Romero
00:18:55is clearly ready for it
00:18:57Oh, no!
00:18:58What now?
00:18:59Looked like she was
00:19:00setting up for Oblivion
00:19:01ended up going through
00:19:02the ropes
00:19:02and taking out
00:19:03her Judgment Day
00:19:04colleague
00:19:04It's almost a sixth
00:19:05sense there
00:19:06from Stephanie Bacare
00:19:08wait up!
00:19:09Big cross body
00:19:11from the top rope
00:19:12Morgan, though
00:19:13was able to escape
00:19:14Well, took out
00:19:15the two miscreants
00:19:16on the outside
00:19:17Oh, no!
00:19:18Morgan driving
00:19:19Bacare into the steps
00:19:21No distractions
00:19:22sometimes

00:24:54world
00:25:18Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the ESG!
00:25:26Bianca Belair!
00:25:32It is wonderful to see Bianca Belair here tonight at WrestleMania.
00:25:3950,860 WWE fans let out a roar when the EST music hit.
00:25:48Oh man, Bianca, it has simply been too long.
00:25:53The EST live here in living color.
00:25:57And I cannot wait to see what Bianca Belair has up her sleeve.
00:26:02Let's go.
00:26:11Let's go.
00:26:31Let's go.
00:26:55Now you know you can't spell WrestleMania without E-S-T!
00:27:08Now I know it's been a long time since I've been out here with you guys, and I just want
00:27:11to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for all the love and all the support,
00:27:17whether it's me at home or me in this ring, thank you so much.
00:27:25I missed you too.
00:27:28Now you know you can't have WrestleMania without a few surprises now, right?
00:27:36So John, I think we need to add one more to the attendance list.
00:27:59Thank you very much.
00:28:15because the ESP is having a baby.
00:28:28Thank you so much for allowing our family
00:28:34to share this moment with yours.
00:28:43I stand corrected.
00:28:45We need to include the youngest WWE superstar in history
00:28:50for 50,817 in attendance tonight.
00:28:59And you can feel the energy here in Las Vegas.
00:29:04All the noise, everybody's focused on this box right here
00:29:10because next up is your main event.
00:29:21Congratulations to Bianca Belair.
00:29:24Of course, her husband, Montez Ford.
00:29:29Wow, what a shocker at WrestleMania.
00:29:32I'll tell you right now, that kid is going to be an athlete.
00:29:36Great genetics.
00:29:37Minutes away from Cody and Randy.
00:29:40All right, WrestleMania fans, we got something exciting for you.
00:29:43A special look at one of the most anticipated movies of the year,
00:29:47Street Fighter, coming to theaters this October.
00:29:49Check it out.
00:29:52Sergeant Yari Arista from the USO and the Air Force here in Nevada.
00:29:56Wheatley raises a glass to Saf, Stark, and Arista
00:29:59and all retired and active members of the U.S. military.
00:30:02Thank you for your service.
00:30:05Buckle up.
00:30:06It's time for our main event.
00:30:19You know, I always watch the relationship between Triple H and Randy.
00:30:25Triple H was Randy's mentor.
00:30:27They became opponents.
00:30:30The relationship wasn't as cozy.
00:30:33And I always thought,
00:30:34I don't know if that's how I want to be one day
00:30:38with Randy Orton, my mentor.
00:30:41And in the case of Randy, I don't think it will be that way.
00:30:46I don't think it will be that way.
00:30:53I'm not your son and I'm not your brother,
00:30:56but I have always been proud to be your boy.
00:31:01And after the main event of WrestleMania,
00:31:05I want you to know,
00:31:07I will always love you.
00:31:30It's not personal between Cody and I.
00:31:34I want my legacy to be how much gold I have put around my waist.
00:31:41Here I find myself in a pool of blood
00:31:46Sitting in a home I built below the God above
00:31:50Don't let that monster in.
00:31:53I just don't understand why you're fighting so hard
00:31:55to go back to being a version of yourself you've already beaten.
00:31:59The demon say
00:32:01I don't know if it's the voices in your head.
00:32:03I don't know if it's somebody in your ear.
00:32:06Now break the...
00:32:12I don't even think I know this version of you, man.
00:32:17Cody said that I could listen to the voices.
00:32:20He said I could be the Viper.
00:32:23What you have broken inside of me,
00:32:25there's no putting you back to bed.
00:32:27Randy Orton,
00:32:30I am hearing those voices inside my head.
00:32:33Finally!
00:32:36There is one person outside of my head
00:32:40whose voice I am listening to.
00:32:43Pat McAfee?
00:32:45The business that you're leading is terrible.
00:32:50Randy is gonna save this business.
00:32:56This is what this business is supposed to look like.
00:33:03This is the house of what we've played.
00:33:07I'm not scared and I will break down.
00:33:11Pat, you and everyone who represents you
00:33:15can kiss my ass!
00:33:18This is rich, rich, rich, fantastic.
00:33:20Tony walks right up onto the stage
00:33:23to ruin or save.
00:33:26Guess what?
00:33:27How do you wear it?
00:33:29At WrestleMania in Las Vegas?
00:33:31Randy saves the business.
00:33:33This is the house of what we've been in.
00:33:38This is where I will begin again.
00:33:48Hey!
00:33:51Let's go!
00:33:55Great.
00:33:57Let's go!
00:33:58Let's go!
00:33:59Let's go!
00:34:02Let's go!
00:34:05Let's go!
00:34:11Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Pat McAfee!
00:34:19This hypocrite.
00:34:21I thought you two were boys.
00:34:23Yeah, you know what, I've given a lot of thought to this over the past few weeks.
00:34:28That man right there who now is telling the WWE fans what he thinks about him.
00:34:34This is a man who embraced these fans over the past number of years.
00:34:39This is the man who stood next to me when Cody Rhodes finished his story.
00:34:47The night that Cody Rhodes won the championship at WrestleMania, he had tears in his eyes.
00:34:53He was as emotional as I was for Cody Rhodes and what Rhodes had finally accomplished.
00:34:59And now, a few short years later, this guy walks into our business.
00:35:05He disrespects everyone.
00:35:09Struts out here with this massive ego and claims that he's going to change the way things are done around
00:35:15here.
00:35:16I don't know what's happened to this guy.
00:35:18I don't know what's got in his head.
00:35:20Except that this ass has an ego that is blown completely out of control.
00:35:26Well, I'm not going to try and add reason to the rhyme of some of the things Pat McAfee has
00:35:32said in recent weeks.
00:35:34Just like you, there's very little of it that I agree with.
00:35:37But what it has done is created buzz.
00:35:40It's created eyeballs on this matchup now that perhaps might not have been there otherwise.
00:35:46Well, I agree.
00:35:47There's no doubt about it.
00:35:48I said it on ESPN this week.
00:35:51Pat McAfee being a part of this product will always generate buzz.
00:35:55People are talking about it.
00:35:57He talks about it on his show on ESPN.
00:35:59But it's the way he's going about this.
00:36:02And this attitude he has.
00:36:05This larger than thou feeling.
00:36:10Well, he's somebody.
00:36:11And I'll use a Michael Cole slash John Cena word from earlier in the night.
00:36:15He is polarizing here in WWE.
00:36:18Yeah, I got a lot of other words I can say about him too.
00:36:20We'll get taken off air if you do.
00:36:22He has been loved, he has been hated, he's been everything in between.
00:36:26And right now I think it's pretty much 100% on the hated end of that spectrum.
00:36:55I hear voices in my head.
00:36:58What they do to me, they understand, they talk to me.
00:37:12You've got your rules and your religion, all designed to keep you safe.
00:37:18But when it won't stop getting broken, you stop questioning your faith.
00:37:24I have a voice that is the savior, hates to love and loves to hate.
00:37:30I have a voice that has the moment and the power to obey.
00:38:01You've got your rules and your
00:38:05They talk to me!
00:38:07They talk to me!
00:38:11They talk to me!
00:38:13They talk to me!
00:38:15They talk to me!
00:38:16They talk to me!
00:38:17I don't know who's out of business
00:38:19All the doctors are deceased
00:38:22And the preachers
00:38:24All the sinners
00:38:25And police just take the grease
00:38:28All the doctors
00:38:29You are guilty
00:38:31All the bosses I will find
00:38:33All the things we have lost
00:38:36Is politicians
00:38:38All the liars
00:38:40I see darkness falling
00:38:43I hear voices calling
00:38:46I hear darkness calling
00:38:49I see darkness calling
00:38:50I see faith has fallen
00:38:52High roses in my head
00:38:54They're just breathing
00:38:56They talk to me!
00:39:00They talk to me!
00:39:03They tell me things
00:39:05That I'm in the truth
00:39:06They show me things
00:39:08I'm taking care
00:39:09They talk to me!
00:39:12They talk to me!
00:39:13They talk to me!
00:39:15They talk to me!
00:39:30They talk to me!
00:39:33They talk to me!
00:39:35They talk to me!
00:39:35They talk to me!
00:39:36They talk to me!
00:39:39They talk to me!
00:39:42They talk to me!
00:41:08Look at this jock rider.
00:41:15The Undisputed WWE Championship match is brought to you by Wheatley American Vodka.
00:41:21Wheatley is the Undisputed champ of smooths.
00:41:23It's ten times distilled because cutting corners is an American.
00:41:27Tonight, they celebrate the superstars aiming to achieve their own American dream.
00:41:30Grab an American Mule today with Wheatley, the official vodka of WWE.
00:41:34Please enjoy responsibly.
00:41:39I see darkness falling.
00:41:42I hear voices calling.
00:41:45I feel justice calling.
00:41:55Listen to this place.
00:41:57I don't understand why Orton needs McAfee in his ear.
00:42:00I'll tell you why he needs McAfee in his ear.
00:42:03There is nothing McAfee can offer Orton when it comes to this business.
00:42:06No advice he can give him that will help Orton.
00:42:08What McAfee has done is divided the attention of Orton's opponent, Cody Rhodes.
00:42:1490% of the interviews in the lead-up to this, that Cody has done, have been about McAfee.
00:42:20That's a mistake.
00:42:21Oh my God.
00:42:25Oh my God.
00:42:26Oh my God.
00:43:55From undesirable to undeniable.
00:49:02The focus of Cody is split.
00:49:05It's main event time.
00:49:06The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the undisputed WWE Championship.
00:50:26champion, the man who's going to save the business tonight, Randy Orton, and his opponent
00:50:56from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 222 pounds, he is the undisputed WWE champion, the American
00:51:15Nightmare, Cody Rhodes!
00:51:27What an atmosphere, senior official Charles Robinson will referee this championship match
00:51:35tonight, a match 20 years in the making, the mentor Orton, the student Rhodes, Randy creeping
00:51:46up on history, he wins, Charles Wallace, oh my god, come on, McAfee assaulting Rhodes
00:51:54with the microphones, and now Randy Orton beating the hell out of the champion, and the match
00:52:00hasn't even started yet.
00:52:01And right before the bell was going to ring, the fix is in, McAfee knows exactly what he's
00:52:06doing, as callous, as cold as you like.
00:52:09And Cody trying to fight back now, Randy Orton sent into the corner, and now Pat McAfee trying
00:52:15to get into the free, sitting up, Cody Rhodes, get him, crossroads, my god, no, Pat McAfee,
00:52:23take a walk, McAfee, thanks for coming.
00:52:30Well, the master plan simply didn't work for McAfee and Orton here.
00:52:34Okay, Cody Rhodes isn't done yet, and you can't blame him, you can't blame Cody Rhodes, Wade,
00:52:38you cannot blame Cody Rhodes, take him out, Cody, take him out!
00:52:47Man who threw so many bombs at Cody Rhodes, through physical shots at Cody Rhodes, well,
00:52:52welcome to the main event of Wrestlemania, Pat McAfee.
00:52:56Everything he's done to you, Cody, beat the hell out of him.
00:53:00Everything he's done to you.
00:53:03Jelly Roll is here.
00:53:06The man also fought him by McAfee.
00:53:09Jelly Roll on the Spanish announce table.
00:53:14Jelly Roll, and elbow, driving Pat McAfee halfway to hell.
00:53:26Now go give him the one-on-one fight they came to see.
00:53:29Go give him the fight they came to see.
00:53:36Bring the garbage truck out, and take out the trash.
00:53:40Oh, wow, McAfee completely wiped out the ball, hasn't even rung.
00:53:45On everything now, back in the favor of the champ, Cody Rhodes.
00:53:49Yeah, Cody telling Kittle to take out the trash.
00:53:55McAfee's out.
00:53:56Well, McAfee needs a stretcher.
00:53:57I think there's one on the way here.
00:53:59He needs a shrink is what he needs.
00:54:02And Randy Orton looking on at a flattened Pat McAfee.
00:54:05Whatever game plan was in place for the challenger here has completely gone out the window.
00:54:11One other look.
00:54:12Jelly Roll with an elbow, driving McAfee through our announce table,
00:54:16as Cody Rhodes looks off with a smile.
00:54:18And now, as they get McAfee out of here, Wade, here's the situation.
00:54:22Finally, we're going to get that one-on-one thing I need.
00:54:25That's the match between Orton and Rhodes.
00:54:28Finally, equal playing field.
00:54:31Nobody's screwing around.
00:54:33Rhodes and Orton for the title.
00:54:35Well, the fix was attempted by McAfee.
00:54:38The jumpstart before the bell even rang.
00:54:41And McAfee now has a one-way ticket to hospital.
00:54:44So, Wade, I do want to bring this up as they deal with McAfee at ringside.
00:54:47Randy Orton.
00:54:49Randy Orton.
00:54:50There's been rumors running rampant online all week long about Randy Orton possibly being injured.
00:54:57From what I understand here, from what I understand, in the locker room today,
00:55:02there was a lot of talk about Randy Orton having a back injury.
00:55:05So, will he be 100% down?
00:55:07You know what you call that?
00:55:08You call that a red herring.
00:55:10And that's just another thing being thrown at Cody Rhodes to think about.
00:55:14I don't believe it for a second.
00:55:16Randy's been through the walls in his career.
00:55:18We know he's had major back issues.
00:55:20I don't see any sign of that right now.
00:55:23So, Randy's fine.
00:55:23So, does this McAfee situation screw Randy up and off?
00:55:26100% clearly McAfee was here to be on the outside to be a major issue and a thorn in
00:55:32the sides.
00:55:33We take another look at what just went down before our main event even got started.
00:55:38It was a crossroads followed up by this elbow drop through the table by Jelly Roll.
00:55:44We've been attacked by Orton and McAfee in the build-up to this.
00:56:01McAfee is being carted out.
00:56:03Cody Rhodes is ready for a fight.
00:56:06The Viper Randy Orton looks to regroup.
00:56:08What is at stake here is Rhodes' undisputed WWE Championship and Randy Orton's march toward history.
00:56:16A win tonight moves him ahead of Triple H into third place all time with 15 world titles.
00:56:23Flair is 16, Cena is 17.
00:56:25Orton would love to break the records.
00:56:27He moves a minute closer if he wins tonight.
00:56:33Randy! Randy! Randy! Randy! Randy! Randy! Randy!
00:56:39This is the third main event at WrestleMania in Randy Orton's career.
00:56:4422 years at WrestleMania this year.
00:56:50This is really a position that neither man thought they were going to be in at this point of the
00:56:56match.
00:56:56The opening bell.
00:56:57No Pat McAfee here to help Orton.
00:56:59No Pat McAfee here to distract Cody Rhodes.
00:57:03We're getting straight up student versus teacher.
00:57:06And I'll tell you right now, Cole, it rarely works out well when the student starts to outshine that teacher.
00:57:14So now the lock-up collar and elbow tie-up into a headlock by Randy Orton.
00:57:19Orton and Rhodes here tonight.
00:57:20What does Orton have to do to win the title?
00:57:21Well, Orton needs to think fast because whatever game plan he had on the outside with Pat McAfee,
00:57:26he needs to lean into 25 years of experience and come up with a new game plan pretty damn quickly.
00:57:32For Cody Rhodes, a man who's had a mixed bag in WrestleMania over the years.
00:57:37What does Cody need to do to keep the title?
00:57:38Well, Cody needs to stay calm.
00:57:40He's been put through the wood chipper by Randy Orton emotionally and physically over the past several weeks.
00:57:46Needs to block that out.
00:57:47Realize this is just another man you are competing against.
00:57:51Time and again, Cody has beaten the best of this industry over the past three years.
00:57:55Well, he needs to do it again tonight.
00:57:57Well, Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, the relationship dates back 20 years.
00:58:01The formation of Legacy with Ted DiBiase Jr., Cody Rhodes, and Randy Orton.
00:58:06Really giving Rhodes his start here at this level in WWE.
00:58:10And there's the shoulder tackle by Orton, who seems to be moving principally so far.
00:58:15Don't believe a word of the hype you see online, Michael Cole.
00:58:18Well, it's not just online.
00:58:19There was a lot of talk in the locker room today about it as well.
00:58:22Because people in the locker room believe the nonsense they read online.
00:58:25Well, this is Randy Orton, who looks absolutely back to a physical peak.
00:58:29Cody bounced off the top turnbuckle by the Viper.
00:58:33Randy Orton, who has nine wins at WrestleMania.
00:58:36He's tied fifth all-time with a man we saw earlier tonight, Seth Rollins.
00:58:41What is Randy's primary motivation?
00:58:44He wants to be the greatest of all time in terms of total championships.
00:58:48He gets one step closer tonight with a victory.
00:58:51A number 15.
00:58:52Rhodes looking to out quick.
00:58:54There's the drop down with the right hand.
00:58:57Randy misses Wilder.
00:58:58Cody Rhodes on a power swing.
00:59:01I'll tell you right now, speaking to Cody, I was very close to him during my in-ring career.
00:59:05And Cody would always, always talk on in rental cars, at bars, about how much he was inspired and impressed
00:59:12by Randy Orton.
00:59:13How Randy Orton was the perfect wrestler.
00:59:15Nobody has studied Randy Orton as deeply as Cody Rhodes has.
00:59:20Rhodes now off the second row.
00:59:21Went for the Cody Cutter.
00:59:22Got caught by Orton now.
00:59:24And Randy.
00:59:24Oh, and we haven't seen Randy do that in a while.
00:59:26He delivered a backbreaker.
00:59:28Randy came up a bit lame.
00:59:30Oh.
00:59:31You saw the way that Randy's back, his body torqued, as he delivered that to Cody Rhodes.
00:59:36Now the moment of truth.
00:59:37Remember the King of the Ring a couple of years back, earlier on, a few months back.
00:59:42Randy Orton now with a thumb to the eye.
00:59:43Cody Rhodes wouldn't pull the trigger on Randy.
00:59:45It almost cost him.
00:59:46Talk about a back issue.
00:59:48Of course, Randy's career almost ended just a couple of years ago by a major back surgery.
00:59:53And that was certainly something tweaked in that lower back.
00:59:56And we'll see if Randy can shrug that off.
00:59:58That sometimes happens early in matches.
01:00:00You're not quite warm.
01:00:01Those were long entrances.
01:00:03A lot of nonsense on the outside before the match even starts.
01:00:06Sometimes your body cools down.
01:00:07Randy may have just tweaked a little something.
01:00:10And once the body temperature gets back up here, he's running back.
01:00:14Oh, Cody Rhodes.
01:00:15Delivering Randy with the slam.
01:00:16Randy now.
01:00:17Vildly standing in the right hand.
01:00:19And Randy's hurting.
01:00:19He's hurting.
01:00:20And he's going to roll out of the ring.
01:00:21It was that back once again.
01:00:23And then I called it a red herring earlier.
01:00:26Maybe this is what the hype was in the locker room.
01:00:30I told you the rumors started to come out earlier in the week.
01:00:34And then there was a lot of talk about it today.
01:00:36And Randy isn't really hurting.
01:00:38Imagine being Randy Orton.
01:00:39You came down here expecting to be 100%.
01:00:42You came down here expecting to have Pat McAfee in your corner.
01:00:45You're the challenger in the main event of WrestleMania.
01:00:47And everything just went to hell in a handbasket.
01:00:54Randy's even just looking slow.
01:00:56Forget the pain part.
01:00:57Just moving slow.
01:00:58Oh, and now driving.
01:01:00Randy into the corner back first.
01:01:02Cody Rhodes being extremely aggressive here tonight.
01:01:05Understanding Orton's got a problem.
01:01:07And now with a half crab.
01:01:09Cody Rhodes going to continue to apply the pressure to the injured back of Orton.
01:01:14I mean, this is what you have to do when you're as good as these two.
01:01:17That any weakness whatsoever, you have to exploit it.
01:01:22You cannot have a single hesitation.
01:01:25Gold is on the line here.
01:01:27Your career legacy is on the line here.
01:01:29This man wants to take everything from you.
01:01:33Randy Orton admitting in an interview he did with you, Wade, that Cody's like a brother to him.
01:01:38But this is about his legacy.
01:01:40That is what drives Randy at this point in his career.
01:01:43Yeah, it was a fascinating interview.
01:01:44I was amazed at how calm and controlled Randy was.
01:01:48There's a certain controlled psychosis about him, which I realize is an oxymoron.
01:01:55But it's true.
01:01:55It's like Randy can flick a switch.
01:01:57And that absolute beast inside him comes out to play.
01:02:00And I'm impressed with what Cody's doing tonight.
01:02:02No hesitation to attack the weakness of Orton.
01:02:05Well, not at all.
01:02:06And this is what you have to do at this level.
01:02:09And after everything Orton has done to Cody over the past four or so weeks,
01:02:13this is exactly what Orton deserves.
01:02:16Who can forget the blast to the head with that steel chair several weeks ago on SmackDown
01:02:22that left Cody a bloody mess or ended that friendship.
01:02:25Orton blames Cody for all of this,
01:02:27saying that Cody Rhodes is the one that unleashed the demons,
01:02:30told them to be who you are.
01:02:32And Randy took it to heart.
01:02:35I mean, Randy is just a binary personality.
01:02:40It's black and it's white.
01:02:42It's friend or it's foe.
01:02:44And when gold is on the line, you make a choice.
01:02:48Even if you go back to the King of the Ring tournament,
01:02:51the final last year,
01:02:53Randy momentarily hesitated to put Cody away in that match.
01:02:57He's regretted it ever since.
01:03:00And if he gets a chance tonight,
01:03:02he certainly will not make that same mistake again.
01:03:04And Cody had the same issue in that tournament with Orton.
01:03:07And you saw tonight,
01:03:08he wasn't going to allow it to happen when this time around.
01:03:11All bets are off at this point.
01:03:13You hesitate when it's a friend.
01:03:15These two stopped being friends several weeks ago.
01:03:18Well, not if you listen to Randy.
01:03:22Elbows to the ear.
01:03:24Cody Rhodes.
01:03:26Reverse that.
01:03:26Rhodes sent into the corner.
01:03:28Over the top.
01:03:30Scoops up Orton.
01:03:31And incomodation at a kick out at two.
01:03:38And again, right to the kidney area.
01:03:41And Randy's having trouble just standing here.
01:03:44Look at the way his feet are.
01:03:45He can't even stand right.
01:03:47Randy is a shadow of the man
01:03:49that has been on the road to WrestleMania
01:03:52that got himself here.
01:03:53Well, it's all going to ride tonight.
01:03:56Cody now delivers a suplex.
01:03:58Great strategy.
01:03:59Find the champ.
01:04:00Into the cover.
01:04:01And again, these frequent hovers
01:04:03also hurting the back of Orton
01:04:05is he has to kick out.
01:04:06Yeah, absolutely.
01:04:07It plows pressure to the midsection.
01:04:10Constantly having to squeeze your torso
01:04:13and you're right.
01:04:14That kick out just triggering
01:04:15whatever sciatic issue that might be.
01:04:23Randy just trying to somehow get himself
01:04:25back in the match as Cody Rhodes now
01:04:27looks to climb to the top rope.
01:04:29Randy's barely got a shot in
01:04:31for the past five minutes.
01:04:33He's been absorbing abuse.
01:04:35And Randy Orton
01:04:37able to cause Cody to lose his balance.
01:04:41And now Randy has a chance.
01:05:06And now Randy Orton
01:05:08and Cody Rhodes exchanging blows.
01:05:13Wharton needs to end this match
01:05:14quickly to have a chance.
01:05:17I mean, can he block out the pain
01:05:19enough to deliver enough damage to Cody
01:05:21to put him away?
01:05:22That's the problem.
01:05:23This is not smart for Orton.
01:05:25Not at all.
01:05:26Randy.
01:05:26Randy letting his instincts kick in.
01:05:28But a superplex to Rhodes
01:05:30won't be good for Wharton either.
01:05:33Cowboy Bob Orton style.
01:05:36Randy Orton reverting to type
01:05:38and clearly regretting it.
01:05:44And look at this.
01:05:45You go big or you go home
01:05:47at WrestleMania
01:05:47and it may be time for Randy Orton
01:05:49to go home
01:05:50because going big there
01:05:51was a big mistake.
01:05:58But at least the superplex
01:05:59from Orton's standpoint
01:06:00has slowed Cody down a bit.
01:06:02And there's a clothesline by Randy.
01:06:04And now Randy looking
01:06:04to build off adrenaline.
01:06:07There's the power slam by Orton.
01:06:10And Randy left him back
01:06:11to his superlative best.
01:06:17And that pain
01:06:18as much as it's hindering
01:06:21Orton's abilities
01:06:22if he can block it out
01:06:23if he can focus
01:06:24if you just do enough
01:06:26there is a pact of victory.
01:06:28And this is it.
01:06:29And there's the drapey DDT
01:06:31that vintage Randy Orton move
01:06:33but again
01:06:34torque in the back.
01:06:35I'll tell you right now
01:06:36there may not be a move
01:06:38in the entirety of wrestling
01:06:40that does not involve
01:06:42the back somehow.
01:06:44And even going down and
01:06:49dropping to apparently
01:06:50bang the mat
01:06:53was an issue for Orton there.
01:06:55But there's more than one way
01:06:57to skin a cat.
01:07:01Back to his feet
01:07:02went for the RKO
01:07:03Cody able to counter
01:07:05Randy
01:07:05grabbed his back again
01:07:06now sent out
01:07:07to the floor
01:07:08right here in front of us.
01:07:10Just a beat too slow
01:07:11is Orton
01:07:12to follow up
01:07:12on what he's planning.
01:07:13And Cody now runs
01:07:14into a right hand
01:07:15by Randy
01:07:16and Randy needed that.
01:07:17A nice club
01:07:18right to the temple
01:07:19of Cody Rhodes
01:07:20and Randy Orton
01:07:22knocking the wind
01:07:23out of Cody
01:07:23at the right time.
01:07:26If you look at the
01:07:28mess and destruction
01:07:29around us
01:07:30it may be about
01:07:30to get worse here.
01:07:32Going.
01:07:34Randy Orton
01:07:35loves delivering
01:07:36those blows
01:07:37on the announce table
01:07:38which he's doing
01:07:39to Cody Rhodes here.
01:07:43Cody does have
01:07:44the advantage
01:07:45tonight
01:07:45being the champion.
01:07:47Randy's got to
01:07:48pin or submit
01:07:48Rhodes to win
01:07:49the title.
01:07:50A brave referee
01:07:52who does a double
01:07:53count out here
01:07:54and
01:07:54thinking about brave
01:07:55I'm keeping well
01:07:55back from Randy Orton.
01:07:58Look at that smile
01:07:59across the face
01:08:00of the Viper.
01:08:11Suddenly you see
01:08:12that belief
01:08:13might be back
01:08:13in the eyes
01:08:14of Randy Orton.
01:08:16Oh no Orton
01:08:17driven into the post
01:08:18by Cody
01:08:18and Cody
01:08:19looking to rally.
01:08:23Cody's been
01:08:24softened off
01:08:25but he's got
01:08:25a diehard spirit.
01:08:31This has been
01:08:32a physical match
01:08:33and Cody
01:08:34of course
01:08:35he was attacked
01:08:36before the match
01:08:37even began
01:08:37by McAfee
01:08:39and Orton.
01:08:39Which might have
01:08:40been the best thing
01:08:41that could have
01:08:42happened
01:08:42to Cody Rhodes
01:08:44based on how
01:08:45things turned out
01:08:46in the aftermath
01:08:47of said attack.
01:08:50Randy Orton
01:08:53Orton's been
01:08:54busted open
01:08:55and now
01:08:55Cody Rhodes
01:08:56with the right hand
01:08:57and Cody now
01:08:58going to focus
01:08:58on that wound
01:08:59on the forehead
01:09:00of Randy.
01:09:01Head first
01:09:02into that steel
01:09:03ring post
01:09:04and the effects
01:09:04are apparent
01:09:05to the entire
01:09:06world now
01:09:07and Randy Orton's
01:09:09problems
01:09:09continue to spiral
01:09:11in this main event
01:09:12with the WWE title
01:09:14hanging in the balance.
01:09:15And now
01:09:15an irate Cody Rhodes
01:09:17and angry Rhodes
01:09:18taking advantage
01:09:19of everything
01:09:20he can
01:09:21against Randy Orton.
01:09:26Can you imagine
01:09:27Cody Rhodes
01:09:28four weeks ago
01:09:29perhaps would have
01:09:29had some sympathy
01:09:31some empathy
01:09:32from his former mentor
01:09:33from his former friend.
01:09:35We can't show
01:09:36that tonight Cody.
01:09:38Yeah but a lot
01:09:38has changed
01:09:39in the last four weeks.
01:09:44Confection of the industry
01:09:46the business
01:09:46has changed
01:09:48so quickly
01:09:49because of what
01:09:50has happened
01:09:51in this rivalry.
01:09:55Cody
01:09:57as Randy Orton
01:09:58is begging
01:09:59for mercy here.
01:10:00Cody never thought
01:10:01he would be
01:10:02in this position
01:10:02tonight.
01:10:03He didn't think
01:10:04he'd get a viper
01:10:05so softened up
01:10:06by injury.
01:10:09Cody showing
01:10:10no mercy at all.
01:10:12Nor should he.
01:10:13Oh and there it is
01:10:14the disaster
01:10:14kick by Rhodes.
01:10:16Randy Orton
01:10:17drops in the ring.
01:10:18Cody's got a chance
01:10:19into the cover
01:10:20to retain the championship.
01:10:22Orton just gets
01:10:23the shoulder up.
01:10:24Well Orton
01:10:24is a shell
01:10:25of a competitor
01:10:26right now
01:10:27and you're in there
01:10:27with one of the greatest
01:10:29in Cody Rhodes.
01:10:30Not where you want to be.
01:10:31We're going
01:10:32Rambo style tonight.
01:10:34Good.
01:10:38This has become
01:10:39just a methodical
01:10:41beat down
01:10:41by Cody.
01:10:42Almost enjoying
01:10:43what he's doing
01:10:45to Orton.
01:10:45Well it's catharsis
01:10:47isn't it?
01:10:47Everything Orton
01:10:48has put Cody
01:10:48through over the
01:10:49past month or so.
01:10:50Well here's your
01:10:51reward Viper.
01:10:52Well I mentioned
01:10:53at the top of the
01:10:54match rate
01:10:54at some point
01:10:55everybody reaches
01:10:56that breaking point
01:10:57and we wondered
01:10:58if Cody was going
01:10:59to reach it tonight.
01:11:01Cody
01:11:03beating the hell
01:11:04out of Randy Orton
01:11:05here and
01:11:06Randy Orton
01:11:07just looking limp.
01:11:10Cody's been
01:11:11through so much
01:11:12mentally.
01:11:24And now dragging
01:11:25Randy Orton
01:11:26up to the second rope
01:11:27and Cody Rhodes
01:11:28may be about to
01:11:29deliver some
01:11:30of Randy's own
01:11:31medicine.
01:11:33Drovey DDT
01:11:34by Cody.
01:11:36Well this will be
01:11:38an emphatic way
01:11:40to put down
01:11:42the Viper for good.
01:11:43This is a different
01:11:44Cody Rhodes
01:11:45tonight.
01:11:50Randy talked
01:11:52about his legacy.
01:11:53It's about Cody's
01:11:54legacy as well.
01:11:57A three-time
01:11:58world champion.
01:12:00And you feel
01:12:01if Cody can put
01:12:02something on
01:12:03Orton here.
01:12:04It really is
01:12:05game over.
01:12:06And Cody wants
01:12:08to do it in style.
01:12:11And now just
01:12:13mocking Randy.
01:12:19Randy slowly
01:12:21to his feet.
01:12:22And Cody
01:12:23to his feet.
01:12:24And Cody sent it to the
01:12:24corner.
01:12:25Randy Orton.
01:12:27Randy.
01:12:31Crossroads
01:12:31to Cody.
01:12:34Cody kicked out.
01:12:36Or not close
01:12:37to a 15th world
01:12:39championship.
01:12:40championship.
01:12:40Well a burst of energy
01:12:42and a burst of ideas
01:12:44at exactly the right
01:12:46time there from Randy
01:12:47Orton.
01:12:48Simply transcendent
01:12:50from the Viper.
01:12:51Connecting just when it
01:12:52looked like it was over
01:12:53with that crossroads.
01:12:56And spinning momentum
01:12:58back in his favor.
01:12:59But how quickly
01:13:00can Orton get back
01:13:02to being the Viper?
01:13:03How quickly
01:13:04can he put a stranglehold
01:13:07on this match?
01:13:08Now he has the advantage.
01:13:09Because Cody
01:13:10has been rocked.
01:13:12And now Orton
01:13:13slithers into position.
01:13:15Coiled
01:13:16and ready to strike.
01:13:17Randy Orton
01:13:18measuring Rose.
01:13:20Went for the RKO.
01:13:21Backslide by Cody.
01:13:22Solders down.
01:13:24Orton kicks out.
01:13:26Got him.
01:13:28RKO by Rose.
01:13:31And Randy kicks out.
01:13:33The most dangerous
01:13:35three letters
01:13:36in all of wrestling
01:13:38but only
01:13:39when applied
01:13:40by the Viper.
01:13:41Warm
01:13:42backslide
01:13:43immediately
01:13:43pounced upon
01:13:44with an RKO
01:13:46delivered with panache
01:13:48but not delivered
01:13:50with enough
01:13:50to get the three count.
01:13:57Randy!
01:13:58Randy!
01:13:59Randy!
01:14:00Randy!
01:14:00Randy!
01:14:01Randy!
01:14:02Randy!
01:14:03Randy!
01:14:03It is crunch time.
01:14:05In the disputed
01:14:06WWE championship match.
01:14:09Cody Rhodes
01:14:10the champion.
01:14:11Randy Orton
01:14:12the busted
01:14:12open challenger
01:14:13who just collapsed
01:14:15on the floor
01:14:15in front of us.
01:14:16Cody the man
01:14:17who has this industry
01:14:18pumping through his veins.
01:14:20The man who has
01:14:20defended us
01:14:21against all the insults
01:14:23from McAfee
01:14:24from all the attacks
01:14:25by Randy Orton
01:14:27now looking
01:14:27to finish the job.
01:14:29Randy Orton
01:14:30took the low road
01:14:31while Cody Rhodes
01:14:32happy to meet him there.
01:14:33And now delivering.
01:14:35Orton slammed
01:14:36to him as well.
01:14:37And this is a
01:14:37completely different
01:14:38Cody Rhodes.
01:14:40The breaking point
01:14:41has been reached
01:14:41for the champion.
01:14:44it's Wrestlemania
01:14:45in the main event
01:14:46that gold is on the line
01:14:48against your current
01:14:49most hated nemesis
01:14:51a man who tried
01:14:52to take from you
01:14:53everything you hold dear.
01:14:56I don't even know
01:14:57if Randy knows
01:14:58where he's at
01:14:59Wade.
01:15:01And he's won matches
01:15:02from that position
01:15:03before though
01:15:04Cole.
01:15:05No doubt.
01:15:05He can never
01:15:06write off the Viper
01:15:07although
01:15:08that moment
01:15:09is looking near.
01:15:13Cody
01:15:14measuring Orton
01:15:15RKO
01:15:16out of nowhere
01:15:18Randy
01:15:19for a 15th
01:15:21world title
01:15:21Rhodes kicks out.
01:15:24Well coiled
01:15:25ready to strike
01:15:27written off
01:15:28by the entire planet
01:15:30but still
01:15:31venomous as ever
01:15:33but somehow
01:15:34it wasn't enough.
01:15:35this is where
01:15:36it's game over
01:15:37for Orton
01:15:37until it wasn't
01:15:39RKO
01:15:40connecting
01:15:40and
01:15:42astoundingly
01:15:43a kick out
01:15:44from a broken
01:15:45Cody Rhodes
01:15:46and two men
01:15:49who look
01:15:50completely spent
01:15:51in this main event
01:15:53but someone
01:15:53has to win
01:15:54this thing.
