09:12that it's just a one on one match

12:43love moving on so hard to see
12:56Introducing his tag team partner, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 218 pounds, he is
13:05the undisputed WWE Champion, D.M.
13:16You notice how Cody's sitting in the middle of the ring, a la the champ, CM Punk, and it
13:25is imperative tonight, Wade, for both of these teams to be on the same page, for both of these
13:31teams to get along, because there is so much pressure, and there is so much at stake here
13:37tonight.
13:38Yeah, so it's a one-on-one matchup at SummerSlam for the WWE Championship between CM Punk and
13:47Cody Rhodes.
13:48You've got a 50% chance of winning that.
13:50Now, if Sami Zayn and Gunther win tonight, it's win, and you are in, and that match at SummerSlam
13:58becomes a fatal four-way.
14:01Your chances of winning go down to perhaps 25%, so of course, Gunther and Zayn want to get
14:07in, and Punk and Cody want to keep them out.
14:12Remember how, if man does this, Brian pretends debut.
14:15No!
14:17No!
14:30No!
14:32No!
14:33No!
14:34No!
14:39It's been filming gto, I'm sure it's done.
14:44There comes first from Vienna, Austria, weighing in at 250 pounds, the ring general, Bootha!
15:01Well, this man, Gunther, has made it very clear that he does not respect his tag team partner tonight, one
15:08Sami Zayn.
15:09He called him a bum, but he's got to get along with Sami tonight in order to earn an opportunity
15:14at the championship at SummerSlam.
15:17There are two polar opposite personalities in Gunther and Zayn, but you're right, Cole, it behooves them both to put
15:25whatever animosity they have to one side.
15:28Work as a cohesive unit tonight. Get yourselves to that fatal four-way matchup for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam
15:37in Minnesota.
15:38Sota in two weeks' time, and then resume the rival.
15:42Go!
15:47Go!
15:49Go!
15:50Go!
15:50Go!
15:51Go!
15:52Go!
15:53Go!
15:53Go!
15:54Go!
15:55Go!
15:56Go!
15:56Go!
15:58Go!
16:03Go!
16:05Go!
16:08And his tanky partner, from Montreal, quarterback Canada, winning a 212 pound, Sami Zayn!
16:21And now Pump and Zayn get it into it, and now the brawl is underway.
16:26Ladies and gentlemen, the fight is underway.
16:28official Charles Robinson finally calls to the bell and this is gonna be a
16:34knockdown drag-em-out fight well this is just a continuation of the main event of
16:39SmackDown last night they got blown up when these four just turned it into a
16:42mass brawl that took us off air on SmackDown so much hatred so much bitterness
16:49so much competitive rivalry between these four who all want the same thing
16:54namely the WWE Championship that currently belongs to CM Punk and now Cody Rhodes
17:02taking out Sami Zayn and Punk with a kick as well Sami Zayn of course a lot of
17:06complaints after losing the WWE Championship after just nine nights with
17:11the surprise of CM Punk and Punk's hometown of Chicago and I could not agree
17:14with more with the stance of Sami Zayn first of all should never have been
17:18forced to compete on a show that is not his own he's a SmackDown superstar forced
17:23to compete on Raw against an opponent that he had no idea who it was until
17:29just moments before the match started CM Punk had no idea he was gonna be
17:32competing that night until he got a phone call about two hours before the match
17:36and then he had to get ready and come into the arena cold and have a fight and
17:40now Gunther bringing the fight to Punk and now the career killer Gunther bang with a
17:45big chop to CM Punk Gunther's so upset over the fact that he believes he's been
17:50screwed at a championship opportunity at a championship opportunity a little bit of
17:55vicious morning to SmackDown GM Nick Aldis just over a week ago looking to even be
18:01here in this position right now could have been suspended or fired but no oh right here with
18:07a golden opportunity alongside Zayn to get himself to SummerSlam and that championship match my God
18:13Punk spying first off the barricade and an irate Gunther is taking the fight to everybody in this matchup
18:22Gunther staring you down Michael Cole watch your words very carefully clearly no respect for authority or
18:30anything else has Gunther until of course he gets his hands on that WWE championship and Cody over here to
18:36help his partner out because remember folks what goes on here a loss for Rhodes and
18:40Punk means that we got a fatal four-way at SummerSlam ask Cody Rhodes what it's like to not have
18:45a champion's
18:46advantage remember night of champions a triple threat Cody pinned by Sami Zayn that night and the triple threat that
18:52Gunther was involved in and in a fatal four-way as Wade mentioned earlier the chances at remaining champion go
19:00down to 25% and now Sami Zayn is just upset you saw the profanity
19:06laden tirade that Zayn went on the night that he lost the championship to Punk in Chicago
19:11well absolutely furious he looks at Punk and he encapsulates everything that he believes is thrown against him all the
19:18people both in the audience the locker room and in management who have turned against Sami Zayn this year
19:25the last real good guy left well guess what Sami there's just a few of us ride or die
19:31still around now and now Sami Zayn with Punk on the top rope Punk fighting back
19:39non-stop action in this matchup since the beginning CM Punk now top rope boss body takes out Sami Zayn
19:47now this is our main event tag team match here tonight at Saturday night's main event however still to come
19:51the OTC the world champion Roman Reigns New York Knicks NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson will be here
20:00and Cody realizing Punk's in trouble needs to make a tag a real look of concern on both outside tag
20:06partners right now Gunther and Cody and thankfully for them at least
20:10fresh man into the ring and Gunther and Cody Rhodes no love lost between these two
20:15man this match has been fast paced since the beginning did you expect that yeah no doubt about it four
20:21absolute best who know they have to drop the heavy artillery when they get a chance and if you don't
20:27drop it first you may not get that chance
20:29and Cody Rhodes with a disaster kick Sami Zayn now into the ring Cody Rhodes going to deliver the left
20:35hand the jabs to Sami Zayn makes Zufa boxing proud and Cody now
20:40Bionna Gilbo to the face and now gopher Cody will land on his feet Rhodes off the second rope got
20:48him Cody caught him Cody is just on fire right now a step ahead of everybody in this match
20:58and Cody look out suicide dive Sami driven into the announce desk
21:06eyes bulging out of his head from Rhodes and just simply feeling the moment right here
21:12in the garden
21:14oh Gunther though so quick snatches Cody for went for the big layer in clothesline Cody top rope Cody cutter
21:21again
21:22and Cody into the cover hook to the leg Gunther kicks out
21:26this is just a display for the ages from Cody Rhodes in the world's most famous arena right here in
21:34the Big Apple stunning stuff from Cody Rhodes who's showing the world why they call him QB1
21:41Rhodes and Punk's teammates tonight meet at SummerSlam of course they had so much to do with a oh look
21:48out now looking for Crossroads
21:51on Sami Zayn
21:53and now working well as a team Gunther and Sami Zayn
21:56Sami a cheap shot to Punk Cody Rhodes nobody home Sami Zayn now with Cody center of the ring went
22:03for Blue Thunder Bomb
22:04Rhodes lands on his feet Cody looking for Crossroads now on Sami Zayn
22:08Sami this is how he beat Rhodes for the title and not a champions and a kick out this time
22:13by Cody
22:13just about a swing and a miss two Blue Thunder Bomb cover
22:18Sami Zayn that close to moving to SummerSlam
22:21man Cody was looking so good he may well have burned himself out early in this one feeling that adrenaline
22:27but take another look at this Sami Zayn with that Blue Thunder Bomb just a millisecond away
22:33for winning this for his team and progressing to a fatal four-way at SummerSlam
22:38and we have 15,361 in the house tonight at WWE's home the Mecca Madison Square Garden in New York
22:49and Sami Zayn setting up Cody Rhodes for an Aluva kick nobody home Cody rolls out of harm's way
22:55and now is an opportunity to make a tag to the champion
22:58Sami Zayn may have hyper extended that leg on that kick attempt and Cody moving out of the way in
23:03the nick of time
23:04massive opportunity here if he can tag Punk
23:10tag to CM Punk and Punk the undisputed WWE Champion comes off the top rope man
23:16the way this match has been non-stop
23:18it has to be that's how good these four are and they're all put looking to put on a show
23:23here
23:24and make a point that no I'm the real deal I'm the biggest star out of the four of us
23:28in this ring
23:29running knee followed by the bulldog the action has been fast and furious here tonight
23:35championship has been hot potatoed around in recent weeks
23:39there's still a lot of question mark so who deserves to be number one
23:43albeit with Punk holding that title for now
23:47Punk with a cut developing on the ridge of his nose
23:51and then the champion now top rope elbow to Sami
23:55Punk into the cover hooks the leg
23:57on the man he beat for the title
23:59but will release you on Chicago now looking for the Anaconda Vice
24:02and it's locked in beautiful from CD Punk middle of the ring and Gunther knows it too
24:06and Cody with a great intercept of Gunther
24:09and the Anaconda Vice is in
24:10will Sami tap out, went for the powerbomb
24:13Cody clips the leg of Gunther
24:15and now Cody gonna go for the figure four leg lock in on Gunther
24:20Submissions are in will both men tap out
24:27will both men tap out
24:31Gunther and Zayn both in agony
24:33and what a smart move from Gunther
24:35thumb to the IFC on Punk
24:37Sami, Sami save me
24:42and that was just genius from Gunther
24:45no other way out than helping Zayn first
24:48freeing Zayn from that hold
24:50and then repaying the favor to his tag partner Gunther
24:53and now Gunther's down
24:55Rhodes is down
24:56Sami Zayn with Punk
24:58Exploder into the corner
24:59and now Sami Zayn with an opportunity
25:02how sweet this would be
25:04for Sami Zayn
25:13hit the haluma kick
25:15punks down
25:16Cody Rhodes
25:17the wherewithal
25:19to intercept Sami
25:20and deliver crossroads
25:22Sami Zayn made that the match won
25:24keep your eyes peeled by Cody
25:26the lariat clothesline by Gunther
25:29and now Gunther turns his attention to the champion
25:32frenzied look in his eye
25:35go to sleep
25:38everybody's down
25:41medical moment here
25:43and finally
25:45for the first time in this match
25:46we get a chance to take our breath
25:49with four men laid out
25:56an electric atmosphere in the garden tonight
26:01so much riding on this match
26:03SummerSlam is two weeks from tonight
26:06high stakes and expectations
26:09do not get any higher
26:11than right here
26:12in Madison Square Garden
26:13these people expect the best
26:16and damn are they getting it tonight
26:18from these four
26:24Punk still suffering the effects of the haluma kick
26:28Sami the effects of the crossroads
26:31Sami trying to drag himself to the corner
26:34Punk as well but there's no partners to tag
26:36this is rough territory
26:38but these four men know it better
26:40than gunther shake off those cobwebs
26:42tag made
26:44capitalize on the weakest opponent
26:46you can get your hands on
26:47and now the career killer
26:48Gunther looking for a sleeper
26:49Punk with a sleeper in of his own
26:51Punk sending to Cody
26:53knocks him off the apron
26:54sleeper locked in again
26:56Gunther's bread and butter move here
26:58and with Cody taking out on the outside
27:01there's no one to save you here Punk
27:03and if Punk fades
27:04if Punk taps
27:05we got a fatal four way
27:07in two weeks at SummerSlam
27:09and Gunther smells blood here
27:10he smells opportunity
27:12and that's when he's relentless
27:13Punk though trying to make it back to his feet
27:16lifting Gunther up
27:17trying to put him in position for a GTS
27:19Gunther has to fight out of this
27:21sweeper again
27:22and that might have been the chance for CM Punk
27:24just that tag going back
27:26there it is
27:28Cody's legal
27:32crossroads to Gunther
27:35cover
27:37Sami Zayn pulling everybody over
27:40and taking out the official
27:41Charles Robinson in the process
27:43just a pile of humanity
27:46but Sami Zayn just saved the match
27:49and his chance at SummerSlam
27:51with that move
27:56and with the referee down
27:58you can do whatever you want
27:59Cody
28:00that's what Sami's doing

50:24Some of you are probably wondering, what are we doing out here right now?
50:34And that's why I'm here to tell you this is rare air.
50:37This is where greatness acknowledges greatness.
50:52And it's no secret, this city is the home of WWE.
51:05And I'm not going to lie, every time I come here,
51:09you make the tribal chief feel like he's home too.
51:32And I think I speak for all of us, 53 years.
51:37That was way too long.
51:44And Jalen will tell you, this is a team sport.
51:50It took everybody on the roster, but I'll be the first to tell you,
51:54there's only one tribal chief.
51:57And there's only one captain.

54:23Now it's complete, and now it's time. Madison Square Garden, New York City, acknowledge us.
55:06The music of the man who faces Roman Reigns at SummerSlam.
55:30Oh, no! Not in the Garden! The New York Knicks' biggest villain, Tyrese Halliburton!
55:41Of the Indiana Pacers!
55:43Oh, boy! This has been a Knicks love fest, while Tyrese Halliburton is here to spoil the party.
55:53They knocked the Knicks out of the playoffs a couple of years ago, and New York has not forgotten it.
56:02These two men squared up at ringside in this building.
56:06Wait, wait, wait, wait! Seth Rollins! Rollins from behind! Off the distraction by Halliburton!
56:12And Seth Rollins now attacking the world champion!
56:16Well, these two men collided in two weeks' time for that world heavyweight championship at SummerSlam!
56:22This is a mugging!
56:23And now Tyrese Halliburton introducing the chair, handed it to Seth Rollins, who's warning Brunson to stay out of this!
56:38Rollins may be going for a... Oh, a big kick to the face!
56:42Remember the stomp delivered to Roman Reigns this past Monday on Raw, and Seth Rollins looking to do it once
56:48again.
56:48This is my world! My world! You understand that? I don't acknowledge a damn thing about you!
56:56Just looking to weaken the OTC!
56:58This is the end for you! This is the end for you!
57:02And he's about to stomp Reigns on a steel chair!
57:05Just softened the OTC up ahead of SummerSlam!
57:09Seth Rollins!
57:10Thank you!
