Short filmTranscript
00:18There is a score to be settled tonight at Clash of Champions.
00:26The following contest scheduled for one fall is a no disqualification match.
00:34Introducing first, from Pensacola, Florida.
00:38Weighing in 265 pounds, Roman Reigns.
00:48You have to take a moment to ask yourself if your career,
00:51your livelihood, the future of your family, was put at risk.
00:56How far would you be willing to go to bring the man responsible to justice?
01:02We saw it week after week with Roman Reigns leading a one-man investigation,
01:08trying to figure out who's responsible, who's been targeting me,
01:12who tried to take me out.
01:14And now, finally, Roman Reigns has his target, has the assailant.
01:18And now, Roman Reigns is set for revenge.
01:21And with some questions, they're better left unanswered,
01:24especially when the answer to Roman Reigns' question is Eric Rowan.
01:28A behemoth of a man with a bad, bad attitude.
01:32And tonight, no disqualification.
01:36And there was speculation for months.
01:38Remember, this is a winding path for Roman Reigns.
01:40He dealt with Samoa Joe.
01:42Buddy Murphy even thought so much that it was Daniel Bryan masterminding the whole thing.
01:46And we learned in recent weeks, Rowan is not this giant lumbering brute.
01:51He is a mastermind and a schemer.
01:54Well, if you would pay attention and listen to Daniel Bryan,
01:56who has been telling us for months and months,
01:59Eric Rowan is a highly intellectual human being.
02:02Rowan has grown tired of being disrespected, being looked at as just a brute.
02:08Now, Eric Rowan has struck out on his own to carve his own path through WWE.
02:14And tonight, he could evolve into the axe that clears the forest.
02:20An unmistakable look of confidence on the face of Roman Reigns who knows he is
02:25moments away from the battle of his life.
02:31What a scene here at Clash of Champions, no title at stake here.
02:35It's all about no disqualifications.
02:38This one will get ugly.
02:58And his opponent, weighing in at 350 pounds,
03:06Eric Rowan.
03:11A six foot eight, towering, hulking menace.
03:16Eric Rowan marches his way to the ring.
03:19He is no longer answering to anyone.
03:22He is untethered.
03:23Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:23Wait a minute.
03:24Roman Reigns comes out after Rowan.
03:26And now Reigns firing off before this match has even officially begun.
03:30Reigns had no intention of waiting for
03:32Erick Rowan to even get in the ring.
03:34Rowan chose Roman Reigns as the target to make a name for himself.
03:38Rowan could go to regret that in the next few moments.
03:41And the ball is wrong, this match is official, no disqualification match.
03:46Heavy right hands from the big dog raining down on Erick Rowan.
03:51Man, looked like he was gearing up for a spear and
03:54instead just chopped down by Rowan with the elbow.
03:58Remember, no count outs, no disqualifications in this match.
04:02The only way you win is by pin fall or submission inside the ring.
04:05The size of Rowan has to be seen in person to be appreciated.
04:09This is the kind of human being that even when you deliver the offense against
04:13Rowan, it still somehow hurts you.
04:14Wait a minute, now watch into the barricade.
04:18And all of this is completely legal.
04:21Think about this, think how deep rooted the disdain is that Erick Rowan has had
04:24for Roman Reigns to do what he did, to go as far as he did to take out Reigns.
04:28My God, and bouncing Reigns off of the desk.
04:31As far as Rowan's concerned, he has not gone far enough.
04:34No, no, no, face over straight to the desk.
04:37Because the big dog's still walking.
04:40That style of rage on the face of Rowan.
04:45The lower back right into the barricade and
04:48right out of the gates, Roman Reigns is trying to start hot.
04:50And instead, it's Rowan who shut it down.
04:52Just to remind him of the no disqualification rules that also includes no count outs.
04:57So anything that goes down on the outside of the ring,
04:59these two groups don't have to concern themselves with getting counted outs by the referee.
05:04This is right up the alley of Erick Rowan.
05:06Here we go.
05:08Now Rowan, 315 pounds shoulder forced into the steel.
05:14And the big dog just averted disaster.
05:18At least for the moment, Rowan just coming up with some other sort of devious plans.
05:24And this is all legal.
05:26Roman Reigns has pulled out a kendo stick.
05:30My God, my God, Rowan with the steel stairs.
05:34Rowan.
05:34Did you see how effortlessly he picked those up and then just lost them?
05:38It's scary.
05:44And now turns the kendo stick on Reigns.
05:50Out of the trash can amidst the WWE Universe again.
05:53No count outs, no disqualifications, the action can go anywhere here in the Spectrum Center.
05:59Rowan is unrestrained.
06:02Rowan has the freedom to rage at will and he is doing so against Roman Reigns.
06:10What sort of atrocities can Rowan dream up here?
06:15My God, he's got a hold of a trash car.
06:19Leveling Reigns.
06:21How does it feel?
06:23How does it feel?
06:27Who's looking at me now?
06:32And you hear Eric Rowan asking the WWE Universe who's looking at me now?
06:37That's what this is all about.
06:38Rowan wants the recognition.
06:39Eric Rowan wants to stand on his own two massive feet.
06:44And now Roman Reigns firing back with a series of punches.
06:49A little more luster behind those blows now from the Big Dog.
06:54And Roman Reigns again, force right punches in a headbutt.
06:58Rowan is still on his feet and now Reigns dumps it back inside the barricade.
07:06Still on his feet, but
07:08Rowan looks a little dazed.
07:10He's gonna take a gargantuan effort from Reigns here tonight.
07:12Rowan is stunned.
07:14Now look at Roman Reigns, drive by.
07:17Eric Rowan finally taken down for the moment courtesy of a pinpoint accurate
07:22drive by from Roman Reigns.
07:24But you can see the Big Dog still feeling the effects of this brutality.
07:28Trying to shrug off the pain in his back and I don't like that look.
07:31Yep, yep, out of the way.
07:38Roman Reigns fully intent on making sure things go from bad to worse for
07:43Eric Rowan.
07:44Again, it's all totally legal.
07:46No count outs, no disqualification.
07:48No!
07:50Take his ass, Rowan!
07:53Obliterated by Rowan.
07:58This was unbelievable impact.
08:03Eric Rowan had about eight or nine steps of momentum before flattening Roman Reigns.
08:10And now back inside the ring, look at Rowan all over Reigns.
08:15Remember, the decision can only happen inside the ring, pinfall or submission.
08:20And a big boot there by Rowan.
08:25Eric Rowan now stalking Roman Reigns.
08:29It's almost as if though Rowan's enjoying every moment of this.
08:36Spine first into the turnbuckle and now Rowan stalking the Big Dog.
08:42This massive boot right on the side of the face of Roman Reigns.
08:48This man is huge, Eric Rowan.
08:51How's that feel?
08:54You gotta wonder if we saw the best from Roman Reigns, the best offensive effort.
09:01And here's the thing, Roman Reigns is 265 pounds.
09:05He's gonna toss around by Rowan.
09:06Roman Reigns lives his life for the big fight.
09:11Roman excels in situations such as this.
09:15Slash!
09:15300 plus pounds!
09:17I don't know if we've ever seen Roman Reigns outgun this badly.
09:22How long do you think Eric Rowan has spent dreaming about this moment?
09:26Months probably, Byron.
09:28Remember, this is a man who plotted and then took full responsibility for
09:32those near career-ending attacks.
09:34The one with the car, the one with the forklift.
09:35This has been all planned.
09:41Offense, from the second rope, Rowan take to the skies.
09:45Rowan zeroing in on Reigns.
09:47Now scrambles for a cover, hook to the leg, and a kick out by Reigns at two.
09:51You see it any more often than that, you're gonna need air traffic control.
09:54That was like a 747 sword through the ring.
09:58Eric Rowan is immense.
10:02Take another look at this.
10:04Boom!
10:06Six foot eight plus, over 300 pounds.
10:10Laser focus to the body of Reigns.
10:27Rowan is decimating the big dog right now.
10:32And again, going after the midsection.
10:34Goodness.
10:38Every one of these shots, kicking the breath right out of Roman's body.
10:43And now Roman Reigns, again, shots right to the body of Rowan himself.
10:48Roman is still on his feet.
10:50Uh-oh, wait a minute.
10:52And now the cover, hook to the inside leg, and Reigns able to kick out.
11:01Roman has desperately tried to mount something to deter this attack from
11:06Eric Rowan, but it's just not working.
11:10I shudder to think what it looks like inside the mind of Eric Rowan right now.
11:15Just surveying the damage, figuring out his next step.
11:18You know Rowan came into tonight and has been plotting and planning for weeks.
11:24Dreaming, fantasizing about what he was gonna do to Roman Reigns at Clash of Champions.
11:31Wait a minute, went for the clothesline.
11:33And now Rowan sent to the outside, but he's still on his feet.
11:36This is unbelievable agility from man of his size.
11:39And look at him, scramble back inside, and he just picked Roman Reigns out of the ring.
11:42Yeah.
11:43Into the post.
11:46Rowan is absolutely sanguineous tonight.
11:50Whoa, whoa.
11:52He's pulling apart pieces of the LED board that's along the apron.
11:56Get up, Roman.
11:57Hey, Roman, man, you good, brother?
12:01We've seen in the past what lengths that Rowan is willing to resort to it.
12:07No, no, no, no, that's exposed, that's exposed, face first.
12:13And Rowan with a boot, down goes Reigns.
12:18Eric Rowan is obsessed with finishing Roman Reigns.
12:24Now tosses Reigns back inside, Rowan thinking about a cover, hook to the lead to win this no disqualification match,
12:31no.
12:31And all this time, it's almost amazing how we thought for so long that Daniel Bryan was
12:37the brains behind this brawn.
12:39Now we've come to learn that Eric Rowan is himself the brains and the brawn of his own
12:45devastating operation.
12:46I was as shocked as anyone else, and look at this, it's just, it does this with ease,
12:53just picks up these steel stairs, launches it inside the ring.
12:57What now, what more?
13:03I think at this point the brutality only ends when Rowan wants it to.
13:12A sadistic smile on the face of Eric Rowan.
13:16Come on, Roman!
13:18Come on!
13:21Roman can barely stand.
13:23And Rowan again, and he got caught, on by Reigns, trying to power up the big man.
13:29And then a Samoa drop, hook to the inside leg, and Rowan gets the shoulder off.
13:34I mean, how in the world would Roman even have enough to hoist up the body of
13:38Eric Rowan for that Samoa drop?
13:39It certainly was not easy, but Reigns was able to pull it off.
13:44But at what cost to his own well-being, lifting that much weight, a man of that size,
13:49like Eric Rowan, had to take a little bit of something out of Roman Reigns.
13:53Watch this, came in with a steel stairs, and again, trying to use all of his might,
13:58getting 315 pounds off of the Samoan drop, but still, Rowan continues to fight.
14:06Roman's effort to do whatever he could to slow the progression of Eric Rowan,
14:10who is back to his feet.
14:14And now Rowan, missed in the corner hard.
14:18Uh-oh, Roman's got the steel steps.
14:21And now Reigns, my God, right off of the face.
14:26Superman Punch, Roman's cover, to put away Rowan, and a kick out.
14:33And now the look of disbelief on the face of Roman Reigns is warranted.
14:39Steel ring stares right to the face of Eric Rowan, then a full Superman Punch.
14:47But Eric Rowan was still able to beat the referee's count of three.
14:52This is where doubt starts creeping into the mind of Roman Reigns.
14:56Rowan is down to a knee outside the ring.
14:59Again, no count outs, no disqualifications, all legal.
15:02This is fear of the unknown.
15:04At this point, Roman Reigns doesn't know what Rowan's capable of,
15:08what length Eric Rowan is willing to go to stop the big dog.
15:13All Roman Reigns knows is to keep on pushing.
15:17Keep on moving forward.
15:21Until Rowan is done for.
15:24I think that could be a long way off.
15:26My God, Roman.
15:27My God, Rowan went for a Superman Punch.
15:30He just tossed him up.
15:31No, no, no.
15:33Through the table.
15:34Good grief.
15:36Rowan just tossed him up onto his shoulders like it was nothing.
15:40Now tossing Roman Reigns back inside the ring.
15:42He smashed him through a table.
15:44Could this be it for Reigns?
15:46One, two, three.
15:47Roman Reigns at it, two and a half.
15:49How, how, how?
15:52Hey, Rowan's gotta be asking himself the same question.
15:56Roman Reigns running on instinct alone, somehow able to survive.
16:03Take another look at this.
16:04Roman Reigns looking for another Superman Punch.
16:07Rowan picks him out of midair.
16:09Before, boom, driving him through our announce table.
16:14Somehow, someway, the big dog survives.
16:17This is astonishing.
16:18And again, now Rowan tosses Reigns outside the ring yet again.
16:21This is simply astounding.
16:24It's astonishing.
16:25It's astounding.
16:26But it's a sign of what the future holds.
16:28God.
16:29For WWE, for Roman Reigns.
16:33It's a walking atrocity.
16:36God, he's tearing apart the timekeeper's area right now.
16:43To the back of Reigns' neck.
16:46God.
16:48And again, the action can go anywhere.
16:51And it's spilled back out into the WWE Universe.
16:56It's all perfectly legal, despite how intense it can be.
17:03How agonizing the action is.
17:07I'm just glad this is the perfect scenario for Rowan.
17:10It's lawless.
17:10This is the peril you sign up for when you agree to a no disqualification matchup.
17:15Nothing is off limits.
17:18This is into our tech area here inside the Spectrum Center.
17:22The microphone stands is some sort of just, at this point, everything's a weapon.
17:28Everything's an option.
17:31Stand up, Rowan.
17:33Let's fight back at all costs for Roman Reigns.
17:36Roman is just trying to find a way to survive.
17:38Roman is just trying to find a way to survive.
17:43Roman is stopped, stopped by Rowan.
17:45The Iron Claw.
17:56Sick smirk on the face of Rowan.
18:01I think if Rowan has his way, he's gonna drag Roman all the way back to the ring and be
18:08able to do it.
18:08He's beating fair and square in the center of the ring.
18:15And Rowan's going somewhere, but I'm not sure it's back to the ring.
18:20If Rowan wants to win this match, he's gotta finish the fall inside the ring.
18:24This is not falls count anywhere, but no disqualification rules dictate.
18:28I honestly think Rowan's deriving some sort of sick pleasure.
18:32He is enjoying this.
18:34I think this goes beyond just winning the match, Corey.
18:37You're right, you're right.
18:38This is-
18:45It's a cameraman.
18:47Rowan, now it's the camera jib like last week.
18:52Wait a minute, what is Reigns face?
18:55What the hell was that?
18:57I have no idea, but Reigns found an equalizer.
19:03Now Roman, Roman's got that jib killed.
19:08Hundreds of pounds crashing into the chest of Rowan.
19:14Roman Reigns returning the favor from last week.
19:18My God.
19:21Losing Erick Rowan's own game plan against him.
19:25These two titans clashing here on the stage.
19:31Roman is spent.
19:35Uh-oh, a locked and loaded Superman punch.
19:40Down goes Rowan.
19:44And this is that next gear.
19:47That extra level inside the big dog that makes Roman Reigns who the hell he is.
19:55Roman with the target in sight.
20:03And a full lamp of steam.
20:07What the- What's that?
20:10No.
20:11It's Harper.
20:12What the world?
20:13Harper.
20:21Rowan's long time partner.
20:23These two go all the way back to the Lion family now.
20:26You've got to be kidding me.
20:28We haven't seen Harper in months.
20:33And now Rowan smashing Reigns in the corner and a discus clothesline.
20:39This is all legal.
20:42As if Rowan weren't capable of enough destruction on his own.
20:47Luke Harper's return to the fold.
20:50No disqualifications, it's all legal.
20:55And another Iron Claw.
20:57One, two, three.
20:59Eric Rowan has beaten Roman Reigns.
21:04Here is her winner, Eric Rowan.
21:10This wasn't just a victory, this was a bludgeoning.
21:14Man, this is disturbing.
21:16This scene of Harper and Rowan back together again.
21:23This is a blessing.
21:23And so, we'll see you then.
21:27And so, we're gonna be here.
