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.

00:04:37The first hour will be on ESPN for the first time ever.
00:04:41It will kick off with Brock Lesnar versus Obafemi.
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.
00:05:01His journey through the Indies would continue.
00:05:04Mid-American wrestling.
00:05:06Then off to St. Paul Championship wrestling.
00:05:09He 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.
00:05:22The famous controversial pipe bomb in 2011.
00:05:262014.
00:05:26He would leave WWE for nearly a decade before the improbable return
00:05:31in 2023.
00:05:33And now, Reigns as the world champion to face Roman Reigns tomorrow night.

00:09:40Walks 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
00:09:51A 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
00:10:08Chose Stephanie McCurk
00:10:10And here we are tonight
00:10:37She won the title in September
00:10:39At WrestlePalooza
00:10:41Tonight, she defends
00:10:43And the women's world championship match
00:10:46Is brought to you by Fortnite
00:10:47Lynn Morgan and Stone Cold Steve Austin
00:10:51Just crouched the biggest rivalry in Battle Royal
00:10:53Team Foundation versus Team Ice King
00:10:56Time to settle the score
00:10:58Available now in the Fortnite item shop
00:11:08With me Wrestlemania
00:11:09Without the great Alicia Taylor
00:11:15The following contest is scheduled for one call
00:11:19And it is for
00:11:22The women's world championship
00:11:30Introducing Chris the challenger
00:11:32From Elmwood Park, New Jersey
00:11:37Lynn Morgan
00:11:46And her opponent
00:11:48From San Fernando, Chile
00:11:53She is the women's world champion
00:12:00Stephanie
00:12:02You are looking at two of the biggest stars
00:12:09In our industry today
00:12:11Stephanie McCurk
00:12:13Lynn Morgan
00:12:13Could not have had more opposite upbringings
00:12:17Or more opposite pathway
00:12:20To get to this moment
00:12:21In their careers
00:12:23The official Eddie Arango
00:12:24Will be the referee
00:12:26For this match tonight
00:12:28And I'll tell you right now
00:12:30What Stephanie McCurk
00:12:31Has done since 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 masterstroke of Liv Morgan
00:12:46Leading into this match
00:12:48As she's turned highly emotional
00:12:50And can Stephanie McCurk
00:12:52Compete with that
00:12:53Considering Liv Morgan
00:12:55Is a woman who thrives in chaos
00:12:57And as you can see
00:12:57The way this matchup starts
00:12:59No love lost between these two women
00:13:01Morgan and McCurk
00:13:02And Stephanie going to chase Liv
00:13:03Outside 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
00:13:15Do you 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
00:13:31Won the Royal Rumble
00:13:33Now is the time to finish the job
00:13:35And Morgan a two-time world champion
00:13:37Has done a 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
00:13:45And Stephanie kicks out at two
00:13:47Yeah, 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
00:13:58Over 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
00:14:08Or submitted
00:14:08Since coming to the main roster
00:14:10Liv Morgan
00:14:11Nice suplex
00:14:11And again
00:14:12Her boyfriend
00:14:13Dirty
00:14:14Dominic Mysterio
00:14:15And they both use this move
00:14:16The three amigos
00:14:17Made famous
00:14:18By the late
00:14:18Great Eddie Guerrero
00:14:21He's so influential
00:14:22To the career
00:14:23Of Dominic Mysterio
00:14:25Liv Morgan now
00:14:26Finds herself in control
00:14:29What does Liv have to do
00:14:30To win the title tonight?
00:14:31Oh!
00:14:32Keep 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 she 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 frog splash
00:14:49And there you go
00:14:50It was that beat
00:14:51On top of the turnbuckle
00:14:53But Liv Morgan
00:14:54Doesn't normally pull off
00:14:55But that one moment
00:14:57Was all the care needed
00:14:58And here's your favorite move
00:14:59Michael Cole
00:15:02It's bookies by the way
00:15:03And yours
00:15:05Don't lie
00:15:05Don't get shy now
00:15:06And now Stephanie
00:15:08Gonna turn into the devil's kiss
00:15:10On Liv Morgan
00:15:13And you would be wise
00:15:14To stay quiet
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!
00:15:27Knees right to the jaw
00:15:29That was beautiful
00:15:30Cover
00:15:30By Stephanie Vaquer
00:15:32And a kick out
00:15:33By Morgan
00:15:36And you're right
00:15:37The pressure
00:15:38Just doesn't get
00:15:39To Vaquer
00:15:39That has been true
00:15:40Of day one
00:15:41Since she arrived
00:15:42In NXT a 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
00:15:50Cole
00:15:51Oh!
00:15:51Nice reversal there
00:15:52From Liv Morgan
00:15:54And Morgan now
00:15:55With a backstab
00:16:00He might have been looking
00:16:02For that SVP
00:16:03At one point there
00:16:04But quickly
00:16:05Turning around
00:16:05Acutely aware
00:16:06Of the danger
00:16:07Of that particular
00:16:08Move was
00:16:09Morgan
00:16:10And again
00:16:10Liv Morgan
00:16:11Oh hold on
00:16:12He's doing a hilly
00:16:13Cole
00:16:15Hold on
00:16:16Looked like she was
00:16:17Going to go
00:16:17For devil's kiss
00:16:18And almost got caught
00:16:19And that's the problem
00:16:20You get a little
00:16:21Too cocky
00:16:22In there
00:16:22With a world champ
00:16:23Like Stephanie Vaquer
00:16:24You're going to get
00:16:24Into problems
00:16:25Now Stephanie
00:16:26With
00:16:26Oh!
00:16:29Isn't it enough
00:16:29To retain the championship
00:16:32Knee to the small
00:16:33The back
00:16:34Forcing Morgan
00:16:34To kick out
00:16:35Just about
00:16:36Kicking out there
00:16:38And living
00:16:38Incredibly
00:16:39Dangerously here
00:16:40As Liv Morgan
00:16:41And things are going
00:16:42Completely
00:16:43Off the rails
00:16:45Double on the hug
00:16:46With the knee
00:16:46Blasted
00:16:47Into the back
00:16:48Of the neck
00:16:49That has done
00:16:50So much damage
00:16:51To all opponents
00:16:52Throughout the career
00:16:53Of Vaquer
00:16:54And somehow
00:16:55Liv Morgan
00:16:56Is alive in this one
00:16:58But only just
00:17:00And Vaquer
00:17:01Is also dragging
00:17:02At this point too
00:17:03As you can pick up
00:17:05The pace here
00:17:05But no!
00:17:06Code breaker
00:17:07By Morgan
00:17:08Dropping Vaquer
00:17:10Back toward the rope
00:17:10Stephanie though
00:17:11Able to roll through
00:17:12Perhaps playing
00:17:13Possum
00:17:13I don't think
00:17:13Liv got on
00:17:14Oblivion
00:17:15Stephanie just hit
00:17:16Liv with her own move
00:17:17Oblivion
00:17:18Into the cover
00:17:19Hooks both legs
00:17:20And Morgan's got
00:17:21A kick out
00:17:22Well what a major
00:17:23Statement it would
00:17:24Have been for Vaquer
00:17:25Putting Liv Morgan
00:17:26Away with her own
00:17:28Specialized move
00:17:29The Oblivion
00:17:31But it was not to be
00:17:32And now is this
00:17:34A crisis
00:17:34Starting to stir up
00:17:36In the mind
00:17:36Of La Primera
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
00:17:42The Oblivion
00:17:43Well Morgan's barely
00:17:44Got anything in
00:17:45In 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 La Primera
00:17:50Who looks like
00:17:51Up to the top rope
00:17:52That's Roxanne Perez
00:17:53Not a moment too soon
00:17:54Having to be care
00:17:55Purse perhaps
00:17:56For the care
00:17:57Inferno
00:17:58Is what she calls it
00:17:59And now
00:17:59Raquel 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
00:18:10And he kicks out
00:18:12Well that was the game plan
00:18:14If things go wrong
00:18:15Hit the ring
00:18:16Help me out
00:18:17Roxanne with the distract
00:18:18The damage caused
00:18:20By the massive Raquel
00:18:21But somehow
00:18:22The care
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 La Primera
00:18:28Draped 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 all the same
00:18:39And now if you're lit
00:18:40What do you do
00:18:40You just hit your
00:18:41Your finishing move
00:18:42Couldn't put
00:18:42Stephanie Vaccaro away
00:18:44Well it's clearly
00:18:44Going for a second
00:18:45By the charity

00:25:18Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the ESG, Bianca Belair.
00:25:31It is wonderful to see Bianca Belair here tonight at WrestleMania.
00:25:38WrestleMania, 50,860 WWE fans let out a roar when the EST music hit.
00:25:49Oh man, Bianca, it has simply been too long.
00:25:52The EST live here in Living Color.
00:25:57And I cannot wait to see what Bianca Belair has up her sleeve.
00:26:09I never needed you at all.
00:26:11Watch me, watch me shine now.
00:26:13Watch me, watch me shine now.
00:26:15I never needed you at all.
00:26:21I never needed you at all.
00:26:28Come on, against the wall.
00:26:31The pressure's beating you, but I will never fall.
00:26:34They said I'm trying, they hear you.
00:26:36Maybe you're a little way better than before.
00:26:39I never needed you at all.
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.
00:27:21Thank you so much.
00:27:25I miss 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.
00:28:15Because the E-S-T is having a baby!
00:28:29Thank you so much for allowing our family to share this moment with yours.
00:28:42I stand corrected.
00:28:45We need to include the youngest WWE superstar in history for 50,817 in attendance tonight!
00:28:59And you can feel the energy here in Las Vegas, all the noise.
00:29:07Everybody's focused on this box right here, because 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.
00:29:33But you're 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, Street Fighter.
00:29:48Coming to theaters this October.
00:29:50Check it out.
00:29:52Sergeant Yari Arista from the USO and the Air Force here in Nevada.
00:29:56Wheatley raises a glass to South Sergeant Arista and 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 watched the relationship between Triple H and Randy.
00:30:25Triple H was Randy's mentor.
00:30:27They became opponents.
00:30:29The relationship wasn't as cozy.
00:30:33And I always thought, I 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.
00:30:54I'm not your son and I'm not your brother, but I have always been proud to be your boy.
00:31:01And after the main event of WrestleMania, I want you to know, I will always love you.
00:31:31It'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.
00:31:51I don't let that monster in.
00:31:53I just don't understand why you're fighting so hard to go back to being a version of yourself you've already
00:31:57beaten.
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.
00:32:07Break 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, there's no putting you back to bed.
00:32:28Randy Orton, I am hearing those voices inside my head, finally.
00:32:36There is one person outside of my head whose 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.
00:33:10Pat, you and everyone who represents you can kiss my ass.
00:33:18This is what this business is supposed to look like.
00:33:20This is what this business is supposed to look like.
00:33:21Tony walks right up onto the stage to ruin our set.
00:33:26Guess what?
00:33:2730 words.
00:33:29At WrestleMania in Las Vegas?
00:33:31Randy saves the business.
00:33:33This is the house of growing pain.
00:33:36This is where I will begin again.
00:33:49Hey.
00:33:51Let's go.
00:33:55Right.
00:33:58Let's go.
00:33:58Let's go.
00:33:58Let's go.
00:33:58Let's go.
00:33:59Let's go.
00:34:02Let'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?
00:34:24I'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 the 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.
00:34:51He 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 his massive ego.
00:35:11And claims that he's going to change the way things are done around here.
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.
00:35:26Fuck you, Lomo.
00:35:27Well, 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.
00:35:56People 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, this attitude he has, this larger-than-thou feeling.
00:36:09Well, he's somebody, and 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.
00:36:23He has been hated.
00:36:24He's been everything in between.
00:36:25And right now, I think it's pretty much 100% on the hated end of that spectrum.
00:36:55I hear voices in my head.
00:37:12You've got your ears and your rich hand.
00:37:15All designed to keep you safe.
00:37:18But when we'll stop getting broken.
00:37:21We'll stop questioning your faith.
00:37:24I have a voice that is the savior
00:37:27Hates to love and loves to hate
00:37:29I have a voice that has the non-man
00:37:33And the power to the old faith
00:37:36I hear a voice that's talking
00:37:39I see it's talking
00:37:42I see what I'm talking
00:37:45I hear a voice that's talking
00:37:48I hear a voice that's talking
00:37:51They talk to me, they understand
00:37:53They talk to me
00:37:56They talk to me
00:37:59They tell you they feel like you
00:38:02They show me they talk to me
00:38:05They talk to me
00:38:08They talk to me
00:38:11They talk to me
00:38:14They talk to me
00:38:15I know you're talking to dance
00:38:19All the doctors are deceased
00:38:22And the preachers are sinners
00:38:25And police just take the grease
00:38:28All the doctors feel like guilty
00:38:31All the bosses are refining
00:38:34All your things will be lost
00:38:36Politicians are liars
00:38:40I see darkness falling
00:38:43I hear voices calling
00:38:46I hear darkness calling
00:38:49I see faith has fallen
00:38:52High roses in my head
00:38:54They come to me
00:38:56They understand
00:38:57They talk to me
00:38:59They talk to me
00:39:09They talk to me
00:39:11They talk to me
00:39:31I hear voices crying
00:39:36I see heroes dying
00:39:38I'm taking blood that's dying
00:39:41I'm being tempted by tears
00:39:44I hear voices crying
00:39:46I don't think I need it
00:39:49They talk to me
00:39:52They talk to me
00:39:54They talk to me
00:39:57They talk to me
00:40:03They talk to me
00:40:10You've got some rules in your religion
00:40:14All designed to keep you safe
00:40:16But your will stop getting broken
00:40:19You stop questioning your faith
00:40:22I have a voice that is the savior
00:40:25Hates to love and rush to hate
00:40:28I have a voice that has the moment
00:40:31And the power to your faith
00:40:34I hear voices crying
00:40:38I see people dying
00:40:41I taste blood that's drying
00:40:44I feel tension rising
00:40:46I'm losing my heart
00:40:49They talk to me
00:40:51They talk to me
00:40:54They talk to me
00:40:57They talk to me
00:40:59Oh god
00:41:00They talk to me
00:41:02They talk to me
00:41:03They talk to me
00:41:05Oh god
00:41:08Look at this jock rider
00:41:10They talk to me
00:41:12They talk to me

00:41:39I see darkness falling.
00:41:42I hear voices calling.
00:41:45I feel justice calling.
00:41:48I see faith has fallen.
00:41:51I'm watching.
00:41:56Listen 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.
00:42:1590% of the interviews in the lead-up to this that Cody has done have been about McAfee.
00:42:20That's a mistake.
00:42:21Good boy.
00:42:23Go!
00:42:24Go!
00:42:28Go!
00:42:32Go!
00:42:34Go!
00:42:39Go!
00:42:42Go!
00:43:13Jordan Rose, a young star in the making.
00:43:18The sun of the green!
00:43:27Do it, little JB!
00:43:29You always won't give me love.
00:43:40Brace the strange.
00:43:55From undesirable to undeniable.

00:47:33The man who wants to be QB1, who wants to be the champion that people, that kids will look up
00:47:39to, the man to carry this company into the next generation, doing everything right.
00:47:44But even men like Cody Rhodes, after what he's been put through the past three years, will reach a breaking
00:47:52point. Will that breaking point be tonight?
00:48:07We use the word polarizing a lot tonight, Wayne. You can hear the reaction from the 50,000 plus here
00:48:14tonight in Las Vegas.
00:48:16Well in unison, they're completely behind QB1, they know what he's done for this industry, they know the words of
00:48:25Pat McAfee several weeks ago, criticizing what QB1 Cody Rhodes represents here.
00:48:32They know that's nonsense. He just didn't criticize Cody Rhodes. He criticized our industry. He criticized our business. He criticized
00:48:40all the WWE fans that have made that what this is today.
00:48:44Or to stroke his own ego for some damn reason that none of us can understand.
00:48:49Well does Pat actually believe a word of what he said or was he simply trying to get into the
00:48:55head of Cody Rhodes for whatever reason?
00:48:58Well if that was the game plan, it has worked. Let's be clear, the focus of Cody is split tonight.
00:49:05It's main event time. Here's Alisha Taylor.
00:49:12The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the undisputed WWE Championship.
00:49:28Welcome back to Ritmoor.
00:49:32Introducing first, the challenger.
00:49:38Yeah right Alisha.
00:49:45Listen up you disgusting pigs, make some noise.
00:49:51For the man who stands at 6'5", 275 pounds, a depiction of perfection in professional wrestling, when he walks
00:50:08out of here tonight,
00:50:09he's gonna show each and every one of you fat-ass bums what greatness looks like as he becomes a
00:50:2115-time world champion!
00:50:29The man who's gonna save the business tonight, Randy!
00:50:40Orton!
00:50:52And his opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 222 pounds,
00:51:04he is the undisputed WWE Champion, the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes!
00:51:27What an atmosphere!
00:51:30Senior official Charles Robinson will referee this championship match tonight, a match 20 years in the making.
00:51:39The mentor Orton, the student Rhodes!
00:51:44Randy creeping up on history!
00:51:47He's winning that goal here!
00:51:49Charles Wallace!
00:51:50Oh my god, come on!
00:51:53McAfee, assaulting Rhodes with a microphone!
00:51:56And now Randy Orton beating the hell out of the champion!
00:51:59And the match hasn't even started yet!
00:52:01And right before the bell was gonna ring, the fix is in!
00:52:04McAfee knows exactly what he's doing!
00:52:06As callous, as cold as you like!
00:52:09And Cody trying to fight back now!
00:52:11Randy Orton sent into the corner!
00:52:13And now Pat McAfee, trying to get into the fray!
00:52:17Uh-oh!
00:52:17Sitting up!
00:52:18Cody Rhodes!
00:52:19Get him!
00:52:20Crossroads!
00:52:21My god, no!
00:52:22Pat McAfee!
00:52:23Take a walk, McAfee!
00:52:24Thanks 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!
00:52:36You can't blame him!
00:52:37You can't blame Cody Rhodes, Wade!
00:52:38Oh god, Cody!
00:52:39You cannot blame Cody Rhodes!
00:52:40Cody has to do this!
00:52:41Take him out, Cody!
00:52:43Take him out!
00:52:47Man, he threw so many barbs at Cody Rhodes,
00:52:50through physical shots at Cody Rhodes!
00:52:52Well, welcome to the main event of WrestleMania, Pat McAfee!
00:52:56Everything he's done to you, Cody!
00:52:58Beat the hell out of him!
00:53:00Everything he's done to you!
00:53:03Jelly Roll is here!
00:53:06The man also found by McAfee!
00:53:09Jelly Roll!
00:53:10On the Spanish and ounce table!
00:53:14Jelly Roll!
00:53:16And elbow!
00:53:17Driving Pat McAfee!
00:53:20Halfway 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!
00:53:38And take out the trash!
00:53:40Oh wow!
00:53:41McAfee completely wiped out!
00:53:43The ball hasn't even rung!
00:53:45On everything now!
00:53:47Back 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!
00:53:58I think there's one on the way here!
00:54:00He 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!
00:54:09Has completely gone out the window!
00:54:11One other look!
00:54:12Jelly Roll!
00:54:12With an elbow!
00:54:13Driving McAfee!
00:54:14Through our announce table!
00:54:16As Cody Rhodes looks on with a smile!
00:54:18And now, as they get McAfee out of here Wade!
00:54:20Here's the situation!
00:54:22Finally, we're gonna get that one-on-one thing I need!
00:54:24That's the match between Orton and Rhodes!
00:54:28Finally!
00:54:29Equal 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!
00:54:58From 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!
00:55:06So, will he be 100% good?
00:55:07You know what you call that?
00:55:08You call that a red herring!
00:55:10That'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!
00:55:23Randy's fine!
00:55:24So, does this McAfee situation screw Randy up and off?
00:55:26100%!
00:55:27Clearly, McAfee was here to be on the outside!
00:55:30To be a major issue and a dawn in the 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,
00:55:44who'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!
00:56:22Flair 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! Randy! Randy!
00:56:40This is the third main event at WrestleMania in Randy Orton's career!
00:56:4522 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!
00:56:56It's the opening bell! No Pat McAfee here to help Orton!
00:57:00No 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
00:57:26needs 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 blocked 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!
00:57:56Well, 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!
00:58:06Orton really 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 crisply so far!
00:58:15Yeah, don't believe a word of the hype you see online, Michael Cole!
00:58:18Well, it's not just online, there 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!
00:58:53Rhodes looking to out quick work!
00:58:55There's the drop down with the right hand!
00:58:57Randy misses Wildman!
00:58:58Cody Rhodes on a power slam!
00:59:00And I'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
00:59:19Rhodes now off the second row, went for the Cody Cutter, got caught by Orton now
00:59:24And Randy, oh, and we haven't seen Randy do that in a while!
00:59:26He delivered a backbreaker! Randy 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
00:59:41Randy Orton now with a thumb to the eye!
00:59:43Cody Rhodes wouldn't pull the trigger on Randy, it almost cost him!
00:59:46Talk about a back issue, of course, Randy's career almost ended just a couple of years ago
00:59:51By a major back surgery, and that was certainly something tweaked in that lower back
00:59:56And we'll see if Randy can shrug that off, that sometimes happens early in matches
01:00:00You're not quite warm, those were long entrances, a lot of nonsense on the outside
01:00:04Before the match even starts, sometimes your body cools down
01:00:07Randy maybe just tweaked a little something, and once the body temperature gets back up
01:00:12Here he's running back
01:00:13Oh, Cody Rhodes, delivering Randy with the slam
01:00:16Randy now, wildly sending the right hand
01:00:19And Randy's, he's hurting and he's gonna 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
01:00:35And Randy isn't really hurting
01:00:38Oh my god, imagine 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 hand basket
01:00:54Randy's even just looking slow
01:00:55Forget the pain part, just moving slow
01:00:58Oh, and now driving Randy into the corner back first
01:01:02Cody Rhodes being extremely aggressive here tonight
01:01:04Understanding Orton's got a problem
01:01:07And now with a half crab
01:01:09Cody Rhodes gonna continue to apply the pressure to the injured back of Orton
01:01:13I 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
01:01:32Randy Orton admitting in an interview he did with you Wade
01:01:35That 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
01:01:53Which I realize is an oxymoron
01:01:55But it's true, it'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
01:02:06Well 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
01:02:23Or 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 him to be who you are
01:02:32And Randy took it to heart
01:02:34I 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
01:02:52Randy 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 in this time around
01:03:10Now all bets are off at this point
01:03:12You 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
01:03:29Scoops up Orton
01:03:31An accommodation to kick out at two
01:03:38And again right to the kidney area
01:03:41And Randy's having trouble just standing
01:03:43Look at the way his feet are
01:03:45He can't even stand right
01:03:46Randy 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 by the chain into 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
01:04:12Squeeze 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
01:04:24Somehow get himself back in the match
01:04:26As 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
01:04:39Lose 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 quickly
01:05:15To have a chance
01:05:17I mean can he block out the pain enough
01:05:19To 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 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
01:05:41And 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 from Orton's standpoint
01:06:00Has slowed Cody down a bit
01:06:02And there's a clothesline by Randy
01:06:03And now Randy looking to build off adrenaline
01:06:07There's the power slam by Orton
01:06:10And Randy looking back to his
01:06:14Superlative best
01:06:17And that pain as much as it's hindering
01:06:20Orton's abilities
01:06:22If he can block it out
01:06:23If he can focus
01:06:25If you just do enough
01:06:26There is a path to 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 the 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 to skin a cat
01:06:58Back 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
01:07:14Runs into 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
01:07:27Look at the mess
01:07:28And destruction around us
01:07:30It may be about to get worse here
01:07:32Going
01:07:34Randy Orton
01:07:35Loves delivering those blows
01:07:37On the announce table
01:07:38Which he's doing
01:07:39To Cody Rhodes here
01:07:43Cody does have the advantage tonight
01:07:45Being the champion
01:07:47Randy's got to pin or submit Rhodes
01:07:49To win the title
01:07:50A brave referee
01:07:52Who does a double count out here
01:07:54And thinking about brave
01:07:55And I'm keeping well back
01:07:56From Randy Orton
01:07:58Got that smile
01:07:59Across the face
01:08:00Of the Viper
01:08:11Suddenly you see that belief
01:08:13Might be back in the eyes
01:08:14Of Randy Orton
01:08:15Oh no Orton
01:08:17Driven into the post
01:08:18By Cody
01:08:18And Cody looking to rally
01:08:23Cody
01:08:23Cody's been softened off
01:08:25But he's got a die-hard spirit
01:08:31This has been a physical match
01:08:33And Cody of course
01:08:35He was attacked
01:08:36Before the match even began
01:08:37By McAfee and Orton
01:08:39Which might have been the best thing
01:08:41That could have happened
01:08:43To Cody Rhodes
01:08:44Based on how things turned out
01:08:46In the aftermath of said attack
01:08:49Oh Randy Orton
01:08:53Orton's been busted open
01:08:55And now Cody Rhodes
01:08:56With the right hand
01:08:57And Cody now gonna focus
01:08:58On that wound
01:08:59On the forehead of Randy
01:09:01Head first
01:09:02Into that steel ring post
01:09:04And the effects
01:09:05Are apparent
01:09:05To the entire world now
01:09:07And Randy Orton's problems
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 an irate
01:09:16Cody Rhodes
01:09:17And angry Rhodes
01:09:18Taking advantage
01:09:19Of everything he 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 had
01:09:30Some sympathy
01:09:31Some empathy
01:09:32From his former mentor
01:09:33From his former friend
01:09:35He can't show that
01:09:37Tonight Cody
01:09:37Yeah but a lot has changed
01:09:39In the last four weeks
01:09:44The complexion of the industry
01:09:46The business has changed
01:09:47The complexion of the industry
01:09:47So quickly
01:09:50Because of what has happened
01:09:51In this rivalry
01:09:55Cody
01:09:57As Randy Orton
01:09:58Is begging for mercy here
01:10:00Cody never thought
01:10:01He would be in 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
01:10:10Cody showing
01:10:10No mercy at all
01:10:12Nor should he
01:10:13Oh and there it is
01:10:14The disaster kick
01:10:15By 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
01:10:21Orton just gets
01:10:23The shoulder up
01:10:23Well Orton is 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 wanna be
01:10:31We're going Rambo style
01:10:33Tonight
01:10:38This has become just
01:10:39A methodical beat down
01:10:41By Cody
01:10:42Almost enjoying
01:10:44What 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 past month
01:10:50Or so
01:10:50Well here's your reward
01:10:52Viper
01:10:52Well I mentioned at the top
01:10:53Of the match
01:10:54Where at some point
01:10:55Everybody reaches
01:10:57That breaking point
01:10:58And we wondered
01:10:58If Cody was gonna reach
01:10:59It tonight
01:11:01Cody
01:11:03Beating the hell
01:11:04Out of Randy Orton
01:11:06Here
01:11:06And Randy Orton
01:11:07Just looking limp
01:11:10Cody's been through
01:11:11So much mentally
01:11:23And now dragging
01:11:25Randy Orton up
01:11:26To the second rope
01:11:27And Cody Rhodes
01:11:28Maybe about to deliver
01:11:30Some of Randy's own medicine
01:11:33Draven DDT by Cody
01:11:36Well this will be
01:11:38Well this will be
01:11:38An emphatic way
01:11:40To put down
01:11:42The Viper
01:11:42For good
01:11:43This is a different
01:11:44Cody Rhodes
01:11:45Tonight
01:11:50Randy talked about
01:11:52His legacy
01:11:53It's about Cody's legacy
01:11:55As well
01:11:57A three time world 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
01:12:09And now just
01:12:13Mocking Randy
01:12:20Randy slowly
01:12:21To his feet
01:12:23And Cody
01:12:23Send it to the corner
01:12:24Randy Orton
01:12:27Randy
01:12:30Crossroads
01:12:31To Cody
01:12:34Cody kicked out
01:12:35Or not close
01:12:37To a 15th world championship
01:12:40Well a burst of energy
01:12:42And a burst of ideas
01:12:44And exactly
01:12:45The right time there
01:12:46From Randy Orton
01:12:48Simply transcendent
01:12:50From the Viper
01:12:51Connecting
01:12:52Just when it looked like
01:12:53It was over
01:12:53With that crossroads
01:12:56And spinning momentum
01:12:58Back in his favour
01:12:59But how quickly
01:13:00Can Orton get back
01:13:02To being the Viper
01:13:03How quickly
01:13:05Can 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
01:13:14Slithers into position
01:13:15Coiled
01:13:16And ready to strike
01:13:17Randy Orton
01:13:19Measuring Rose
01:13:20Went for the RKO
01:13:21Backslide by Cody
01:13:22Shoulders down
01:13:23Orton kicks out
01:13:26Got him
01:13:28RKO by Rose
01:13:30And Randy kicks out
01:13:32The most dangerous
01:13:35The 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
01:13:41One
01:13:42Backslide
01:13:43Immediately pounced 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
01:13:56Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy
01:14:00Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy
01:14:03It is crunch time
01:14:05In the disputed WWE championship match
01:14:09Cody Rhodes the champion
01:14:10Randy Orton the busted open challenger who just collapsed on the floor in front of us
01:14:16Cody the man who has this industry pumping through his veins
01:14:20the man who has defended us against all the insults from McAfee
01:14:24from all the attacks by Randy Orton now looking to finish the job
01:14:29Randy Orton took the low road while Cody Rhodes happy to meet him there
01:14:33and now delivering Orton slammed to him as well
01:14:37and this is a completely different Cody Rhodes
01:14:39the breaking point has been reached for the champion
01:14:44it's Wrestlemania it's the main event the gold is on the line
01:14:48against your current most hated nemesis
01:14:51a man who tried to take from you everything you hold dear
01:14:56I don't even know if Randy knows where he's at Wade
01:15:01and he's won matches from that position before though Cole
01:15:04no doubt
01:15:05he can never write off the Viper
01:15:07although that moment is looking near
01:15:13Cody measuring Orton
01:15:15RKO!
01:15:17Out of nowhere!
01:15:18Randy for a 15th world title!
01:15:22Rhodes kicks out!
01:15:24Well coiled
01:15:25ready to strike
01:15:27written off by the entire planet
01:15:30but still
01:15:31venomous as ever
01:15:33but somehow it wasn't enough
01:15:35this is where it's game over for Orton
01:15:37until it wasn't
01:15:39RKO connecting and
01:15:42astoundingly a kick out
01:15:44from a broken Cody Rhodes
01:15:46and two men
01:15:49who look completely spent in this main event
01:15:53but someone has to win this thing

01:16:49unless that bigger man
01:16:51is partially injured

01:16:55and Rose to the eye
01:16:56to the official Charles Robinson
01:17:00Randy was blinded
01:17:01I don't know if he even was aware
01:17:03that that was the official
01:17:06Cody poked Orton in the eyes
01:17:08the official didn't see it
01:17:11and now Randy Orton
