00:00Went for the side headlock.
00:02Rollins with one of his own.
00:05Step now.
00:07Across the ring.
00:08Fast pace to start things here.
00:10Woman range got turned around a bit.
00:13And Rollins turns it into a sling blade.
00:15And again, a speed, a technical advantage has to go to Rollins.
00:20And it's really not much between either of them at any level here.
00:26It's interesting.
00:27Two of the most popular, most respected superstars in the world.
00:32Yes, they are.
00:33But there is a historical ledger between these two whenever they encounter.
00:41And it's completely one-sided in favor of Rollins.
00:45Again, Reigns missed wildly.
00:47Seth Rollins now teeing off on the champion, Roman Reigns.
00:50Well, Seth is just baiting Roman in at this point.
00:53He's inside the head of Roman.
00:54And again, pure power winning out.
00:56But again.
00:57Well, he's been inside the head of Roman most of Roman's career.
01:00Every big match they've had, Shatner Rollins wins.
01:04One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
01:14And Roman explodes out of the corner with a close line.
01:17Yeah, this is some rage inside Roman now.
01:20A little catharsis temporarily, perhaps.
01:23Reigns across the ring, missed wildly.
01:26Rollins with a kick right to the knee.
01:28Drops Roman, Reigns to a knee.
01:30Super kick to the face.
01:31And again, Rollins is countering everything that Roman's trying.
01:37And this historical ghost that haunts Roman is continuing right now.
01:42That is how you get in the head of the OTC.
01:44Well, you heard what Rollins said, right?
01:46He believes he's the architect of Roman Reigns.
01:50That he created the Reigns that we see today.
01:53Right now, we are seeing the psyche of Roman Reigns being shattered.
01:59Oh, Rollins, nobody home.
02:01Roman Reigns using some quickness with a big jumpy clothesline to take Rollins down.
02:08Roman now into the corner.
02:10One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, nine, ten.
02:19And now it's Roman's turn to punish Rollins.
02:27Oh, and a big boom.
02:29Yeah, this is a sustained moment of authority for Roman in this match for the first time.
02:35Sending a little something back the way of Seth freaking Rollins.
02:39And Roman's starting to settle in a bit now.
02:41You can feel it.
02:43Locked and loaded.
02:50Roman went for the Superman punch.
02:52Rollins able to turn it around with a forearm of his own.
02:57And now Seth sends Roman over the top rope to the floor.
03:00And these counters are Seth telling Roman, I know you better than you know yourself.
03:09Rollins across the ring.
03:10Suicide dive.
03:11Driving Reigns back first to the barricade.
03:14Very little that Roman is trying is working thus far.
03:17And Rollins again driving Roman into the barricade.
03:20And the champion's reeling.
03:26And Roman's starting to feel it.
03:28Rollins now.
03:29Driving Roman into the Spanish announce desk.
03:37Wait, Seth's had an answer for everything.
03:39Listen, Cole, you've been ringside for the entirety of Roman Reigns' career.
03:43He does not have off nights.
03:45He does not have kryptonite unless Seth Rollins is there.
03:50Great way to describe it.
03:52Because that is what Rollins has been to Roman Reigns throughout his career.
03:56He's the only one.
03:57Rollins now clearing the Spanish announce desk.
04:03The official's Sean Bennett telling Rollins to get back in the ring and break the count.
04:07You have to believe the official's going to have a lot of leeway in this big title match tonight.
04:11No doubt about that.
04:13No one wants to see this one blown up for a minor.
04:16Oh, and Seth, he went to the well once too often.
04:19And Roman Reigns made him pay for it with the right hand.
04:22Yeah, it was just too much of a weight there for Roman Reigns.
04:25And Seth made it made a critical error.
04:27And a drive-by by Roman.
04:29Well, Seth opened the door.
04:31And he can only blame himself for that one.
04:36And now Seth Rollins trying to regroup and gather himself.
04:44Look, Roman made a few errors in the early goings of this one.
04:50But that was Seth's error that has allowed Roman back into this.
04:53And that is a mistake you cannot afford to make with the OTC.
04:57Roman Reigns, now he climbs into the crowd to go after Rollins.
05:01And again, I mentioned there's going to be a lot of leeway
05:04that the official's going to let these two get away with tonight.
05:15So much on the line in this matchup.
05:18Not just the championship, but the respect.
05:24I mean, for both men at this point, strategy clearly out the window.
05:28This has just turned into a violent brawl here.
05:32Hopefully both guys keeping their eyes on what is really at stake,
05:35which is the World Heavyweight Championship.
05:37Well, the absolute disdain that these two have for one another.
05:42One of the greatest rivalries of this era.
05:47We talked about it earlier, though.
05:48It's crucial to keep in control.
05:51Keep in control of your faculties.
05:53Keep in control of where you're trying to head in this one.
06:00Now look at Rollins.
06:03Utilizing that stanchard in the midsection of Reigns.
06:13Roman breathing heavily.
06:19Referee really giving a ton of leeway, as you mentioned, Colin.
06:23Rightly so.
06:24Nobody wants this thing thrown at.
06:25I said let him fight.
06:27That's with him.
06:28Oh!
06:30Oh, God.
06:31And a suplex onto the steel.
06:33And I'll tell you right now,
06:35just bolts of lightning shooting up the spine
06:38of Seth Rollins detonating right at the top,
06:43straight into his brain.
06:46And that is devastating for Rollins.
06:49And physically, he's not going to be the same
06:52for the rest of this match after that impact.
06:54And Rollins making his way back to the timekeepers area.
06:57Roman Reigns, though.
06:58Here he comes.
07:00Well, like a knee lift right to the jaw of Roman.
07:03Just in the nick of time there from Seth Freakin' Rollins.
07:06And now getting close to getting back in the ring.
07:09But major damage sustained by Bowe.
07:11Off the apron and a high knee by Rollins.
07:20And both men looking wiped out at this stage.
07:24But we know they can ratchet through the gears.
07:26We've seen it time and again.
07:28And Seth Rollins looks like he's got some major plans here.
07:35Roman just trying to stand up.
07:37Trying to use the barricade to balance.
07:40Roman's in a battle for survival.
07:41Seth Rollins has bloodlust in his eyes.
07:48Now mocking Reigns.
07:51Rollins with a full head of steam.
08:00Look out.
08:03Shield bomb.
08:11The real Roman Reigns has just awakened.
08:17Seth Rollins' body buckling.
08:21Well, Rollins could've done something devious,
08:24but it backfired and powered through that table
08:28by the OTC who has swung this one around.
08:35The official admonishing Roman Reigns to break the count.
08:39The champion back into the ring momentarily.
08:47Hey, he played high school football, you know?
08:52Roman having some fun with the Minnesota Vikings here at ringside.
08:56Mocking Rollins' football ability.
09:00Roman, something that's completely renewed.
09:02We've seen this from him in the past.
09:04Back from the dead.
09:07With that intense in mind.
09:09Let me show you how to do it.
09:11On night two, young man.
09:18What does Roman have in mind?
09:21More punishment for Seth Rollins.
09:23Gonna use all the announce table.
09:25No!
09:27Rollins!
09:28Rollins gonna turn the tables!
09:30Oh, God!
09:31Rollins with the bomb!
09:33Through the announce table!
09:38And now Roman's down!
09:49Roman Reigns powerbomb through our announce table!
09:58On the side of the ring here, a scene of utter devastation.
10:05It looks like a car crash.
10:08Enjoying themselves, but these competitors, clearly not.
10:12And now, crucially, a count has started.
10:16And both men may be completely toasted.
10:18And this only favors Roman.
10:20A count out with keeping the title around the waist of Roman Reigns.
10:24Seth Rollins has to get Reigns back in the ring.
10:27Or at least break the count.
10:28But even you know, Roman Reigns doesn't want it ended like this.
10:32Roman Reigns wants a definitive victory over the ghosts of his past.
10:36Seth Rollins, he might not get it.
10:38The official at seven.
10:39The official's at seven.
10:40Reigns and Rollins trying to come through.
10:42We're at a count of eight now.
10:44Rollins is close.
10:45Reigns a million miles off.
10:47A count of nine.
10:49Rollins beats the count.
10:50Reigns beats the count.
10:51Seth Rollins.
10:54Pedigree.
10:56Cover for the title.
10:59And a kick out.
11:12A pedigree by Rollins.
11:15Almost brought it the world championship.
11:30An incredible main event.
11:35I mean, it's lunacy that these two are even moving at this point.
11:40But one man is moving better than the other.
11:43And that man is the challenger.
11:45Seth freaking Rollins.
11:46Rollins is in position.
11:47Roman Reigns trying to make it back to his feet.
11:51Rollins was looking for a stop.
11:53But he ran into a Superman punch.
11:55Covered by the champion.
11:56Huck to the leg.
11:58Rollins got the shoulder up at two.
12:01And that's just an instinctive kick out from one of the greatest in history.
12:07Seth Rollins, who has no clue where he's at right now.
12:10Going in for the kill.
12:11And simply beats him to the punch by the OTC.
12:14Waiter, the emotion starting to run through Reigns' brain.
12:17What do I need to do to beat him?
12:19How can I beat him?
12:20I gotta be honest with you.
12:22At this point in the match, this deep in the match, it's not about emotion.
12:25It's about who has those championship instincts, who has the drive, who has the grit, who can fight through this.
12:33Faculties are simply not firing in the mind as they were.
12:37But there's the prize on the line.
12:39Two of the most important figures in the history of WWE are battling it out tonight for the World Heavyweight
12:47Championship.
12:48To be the man in this business.
12:51Will it beat Reigns?
12:53Will it beat Rollins?
12:57If you're a betting man, you're putting the house on Roman Reigns right now.
13:02Not quite sure I'd take that bet.
13:18Went for the start.
13:20Leap ball by Rollins.
13:21And now Seth with a stop.
13:24Seth with a stop for the World Heavyweight Championship.
13:27Here's the cover.
13:29Roman is in it.
13:31Roman kicks out.
13:37Absolutely stunning from the OTC.
13:40Dead and buried.
13:42And somehow digging his way back into this thing.
13:46Going in for it.
13:47Eating the time buckle of his own spear.
13:49He's rocked.
13:49He's rattled.
13:50And he's stumped by Seth, Freak and Rollins.
13:54But that is not enough when you're up against the OTC.
13:59Rollins pulled an ace out of the deck.
14:02But Roman Reigns was able to kick out.
14:06What's going through Seth's mind right now?
14:08What has Roman said this week?
14:09You'll never be A1.
14:10You'll always be in my shadow.
14:12You'll always be one level below me.
14:16And that eats at Seth Rollins.
14:18Seth wants to shove those words down the throat of Roman Reigns.
14:22And they might be about to do just that.
14:28Rollins.
14:30Ripping in Roman up on his shoulders.
14:33It's an insane level of power this deep into a matchup when you've been bruised, battered, and bloody.
14:38Yeah, two of the most well-conditioned men in WWE today.
14:44We talked about it earlier in the show.
14:46Those championship gears when the spotlight is the brightest.
14:50Do you have them?
14:51Yes or no?
14:52These two have both proved it.
14:54Time and time again, they certainly do.
14:57Massive crowd looking on as Rollins heads to the top rope, trying to control Roman Reigns here.
15:04Trying to bring the world title home.
15:07Roman Reigns is a big, big opponent to try and lift up from that position.
15:12And I don't think Seth has it in him right now.
15:15Roman with a headbutt, driving Rollins to the mat.
15:22Uh-oh.
15:23Rollins up top.
15:24Hooks.
15:25He hooks Roman.
15:28Rollins with a superplex.
15:30And he's going to roll through.
15:32Can he get Roman up?
15:34Look at him talking.
15:35Oh, but no.
15:36Guillotine.
15:37Guillotine cover by Reigns.
15:39Guillotine by Reigns.
15:40Rollins is slowly.
15:42Is Rollins going to tap?
15:43That choke is locked in deep and struggling with a severe lack of power now.
15:48Is Seth Rink and Rollins that he's fading cold?
15:51Reigns has got it locked in.
15:53Rollins with nowhere to go.
15:54Now showing some signs of life.
15:57It's frantic moments now for Seth freaking Rollins.
16:01And that is completely synced in now.
16:03Roman wrapping his legs like a constrictor around the waist of Rollins.
16:08Looking to pass Rollins out.
16:10I mean, you simply can't fight back from that position.
16:13You've got no.
16:14Oh, here we go.
16:16Seth Rollins, though, still in this.
16:18Seth needs to get to the ropes.
16:20It's his only hope.
16:23Rollins said, not yet.
16:24Not yet.
16:25I've got fight.
16:26I've still got fight.
16:30Oh, my God.
16:31Talk about willpower.
16:33Talk about willpower.
16:34Seth Rollins trying to fight back to a vertical base.
16:38Oh, this is completely insane.
16:41That is not a cruiserweight he's picking up there.
16:43That's one of the biggest on the roster.
16:45And Rollins is able to slip his arm around the face of Roman.
16:52Roman landed on his feet from behind.
16:55Smear!
16:56Smear by Reigns to retain!
16:59Two, three, three, two, three.
17:00Seth kicked out.
17:01Rollins kicked out.
17:03How the hell can Rollins kick out?
17:06Oh, man.
17:07An action replay on that count, please.
17:11Because I thought that was over.
17:13The entire stadium thought it was over.
17:16A flush spear right to the midsection of an exhausted Seth Rollins
17:22and just about kicking out a team in this one alive.
17:28Seth, you absolute freak of nature.
17:31Shit, that was three.
17:35Man, you're number three.
17:37This bitch is a team.
17:39I'm the one.
17:41Who's the team?
17:43You know what I mean?
17:45That's what I always was.
17:47I told you before.
17:49You're number two.
17:50That's all I've ever been.
17:53Boom!
17:55You're gonna try to change that, brother.
17:57I'm the team.
17:59This is how you're doing.
18:06See, again, Rollins gotta get in control of his emotions.
18:09Doesn't want to go down that ladder hole again.
18:11It's cost him way too many times against Rollins.
18:14Yeah, this is that red mist.
18:15He's now descended in the mind of the OTC.
18:18Clarity has completely gone.
18:22This could be a problem for Roman despite the fact that he's in control here.
18:27He continues to call himself A1.
18:31Bigger and better than Rollins.
18:33But does he believe it?
18:35Rollins with a spear!
18:38Rollins crawled into the cover!
18:41Seth's gonna do it here!
18:44Roman kicks out again!
18:47An instant classic at SummerSlam!
18:52But it was the goading by Roman Reigns.
18:56The taunting, the pie-facing.
18:58And it almost cost him again!
19:00Open that window for Seth to pull out this and almost steal it from Roman Reigns.
19:08We're winning the World Heavyweight Championship and you've got to see the reaction in the arena.
19:14This is the Vikings, the Minnesota Vikings team, loving what they're seeing.
19:21I don't like that.
19:23Congrats to the player, I don't see, bitch.
19:29I think it's on number two.
19:36I own your ass.
19:38The only reason you're number one is because they like you're number one.
19:43You understand that?
19:45Tonight, I take that from you.
19:48No!
19:50No!
19:50No!
19:50No!
19:50No!

20:31One, two, three!
20:33Florence is alive!
20:36Florence is alive!
20:40Oh God, both men tonight
20:43at their supreme best
20:45at times, losing focus
20:47on the real prize
20:48of the World Heavyweight Champion,
20:50but driven by something
20:53else, I don't know, if it's competition,
20:55if it's hatred, it's about being
20:57the best, it's about being number
20:59one, that's what this is about,
21:01the top of the food chain!
21:03For 12 years, these
21:05two men have been fighting over
21:07who's on top, on who's the
21:09best, and tonight, that's what it's
21:11about, that's what they want to prove!
21:13And we're still waiting for
21:15the answer, Cole!
21:18What a damn match!
21:24I mean, how are you even stirring
21:27at this point, how are you not
21:29completely laid out?
21:32It's like they both get
21:33re-energized!

31:12in pursuit
31:12of victory
31:14as we did
31:15in tonight's main event
31:17and Roman Reigns
