00:09You guys will forgive me if I get a bit nervous out here at ringside sitting
00:12this close to that man Braun Strowman.
00:14I felt first hand a couple of weeks ago what this man is capable of.
00:19But what about what he's done to the likes of Kane and Lesnar over the past
00:23number of months?
00:23Well, it's not about what Braun Strowman has done in the past.
00:26It's about what he is capable of doing tonight.
00:29Strowman wants to be universal champion and what Braun Strowman has wanted to
00:33this point he has just taken and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
00:37Brother, how do you stop him?
00:39Besides throwing me in front of him, let me go.
00:41You don't.
00:41Let me tell you, Braun Strowman has come on the scene,
00:44has taken over the whole game, man.
00:47He's a monster.
00:48Look at Braun planting his feet like a bull ready for battle.
00:58Well, here's a man who over the years have made history in the Royal Rumble event.
01:02He could do it again tonight.
01:03If Kane wins this match, he'd be the first person to win WWE World Championship
01:10Universal titles in his career.
01:12Well, I think Kane might be the dark horse in this matchup.
01:15All the hype has been about Strowman and all about Lesnar.
01:18You're talking about someone who has dominated for 20 years in the WWE.
01:23The Big Red Machine could very well be the next Universal Champion.
01:27And this is a really interesting stat about Kane.
01:29He realized in his long, illustrious career that he's only been in the match,
01:33in the ring for a match with Brock Lesnar on two different occasions.
01:36Back in 2003 in a Royal Rumble match and then momentarily in the Royal Rumble match last year.
01:55He is the longest reigning active champion in the WWE today.
02:00He has held the Universal title for 301 days.
02:06There have only been four reigns of over 300 days in the last 25 years.
02:12That's the beast, Brock Lesnar.
02:16Guys, we've seen triple threat matches before many, many times,
02:20but I don't think we've ever seen a triple threat match of this magnitude.
02:25I think this is less like a triple threat match and
02:27more like a trailer for the new Pacific Rim movie.
02:29We've got monsters all over the place.
02:33Brock Lesnar, a winner of the 2003 Royal Rumble match, hasn't fared well.
02:37And triple threat matches in his career, believe it or not.
02:40However, he did win a big one for the WWE Championship back in 2015 at this event.
02:48Remember, Lesnar does not have to be pinned or
02:50submitted to lose this championship.
02:53Triple threat rules.
02:59And the following contest is a triple threat match for
03:03the Universal Championship.
03:08Introducing the challengers.
03:10First, weighing in at 385 pounds, Braun Strowman.
03:19Next, weighing in at 323 pounds, Kane.
03:29And their opponent.
03:38Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Kanan.
03:44Introducing, fighting out of the champion's corner, the reigning, defending,
03:53undisputed, Universal Heavyweight Champion, Barack Lesnar.
04:02Again, rules, first man to gain pinfall or submission is the Universal Champion.
04:07Lesnar taunting Kane and Strowman, big smile on his face.
04:12Now listen to what you just said.
04:14Brock Lesnar is taunting Braun Strowman and Kane.
04:19Philadelphia, a big fight city, and this is a big fight tonight.
04:24Guys, I think the playbook is gonna go out of the window real quick here.
04:28Great analysis book.
04:30That's why you're a Hall of Famer, kid.
04:32Lesnar, Strowman, Kane, here we go.
04:35And Lesnar backs Kane into the corner, and now Braun Strowman behind.
04:40And now it's Strowman.
04:41How do you plan for something like that?
04:43What about the quickness of this freight train?
04:45Whoa.
04:46Kick, Lesnar's down.
04:48It's like being drop kicked by a T-Rex.
04:51My lord.
04:55Braun Strowman.
04:55Wait a minute, wait, wait.
04:56And now Brock Lesnar trying to pick the leg of Strowman, that clubbing.
04:59Wow.
05:00Good lord.
05:00A knee to the jaw, he caught Lesnar good.
05:03A knee to the jaw caught Brock good.
05:04And Brock got him back.
05:06Lesnar just threw a bomb, tattooed Strowman.
05:09Looking for the F5 now Kane, looking for a choke slam.
05:14And there's the choke slam by Kane.
05:17It's Strowman now.
05:18Just bulldozing Kane back into the corner.
05:21See, guys, no strategy, Cole, you said it's a fight.
05:25I cannot believe that knee that Strowman delivered to Lesnar, it shook the champion.
05:29Yeah, it would have knocked out a lesser man.
05:31Yeah, but Brock Lesnar came right back with a big right hand, guys.
05:35Yes.
05:36Strowman focuses on Kane.
05:38Brock Lesnar just wander around outside the ring, looking to regroup.
05:43Kane now has Strowman where he wants him.
05:46Meanwhile, Lesnar with a steel chair and again legal, no disqualification.
05:53Strowman just punched the chair out of Lesnar's hand and that's floored him.
05:56Good God, man.
05:58Are you kidding me?
06:00Lesnar over the top rope.
06:02Brock Lesnar might be out on his feet.
06:04Let me tell you, I just saw a look in Brock Lesnar's eyes that I've never seen before.
06:11Paul Heyman, you should see the look on Paul Heyman's face out here.
06:14Heyman doesn't believe what just happened.
06:16I mean, it's the same look that all of us have.
06:18There's the knee, there's the knee that caught him on the ear.
06:22And now Lesnar's driven into the barricade and
06:24this is a little uncomfortable out here.
06:28Now take a look at this right hand from Lesnar.
06:31And there's the right.
06:32And that didn't scramble Strowman's brains, I don't know what will.
06:35That right hand should Braun Strowman, but it didn't.
06:37And now Strowman carrying steps around, just banged it off the face of Kane.
06:41Now off the shoulder of Lesnar, and Braun Strowman is a one man wrecking machine.
06:50Hey, Corey, I ask you this every week.
06:52But now watching the damage he's caused here tonight.
06:55How do you stop Brock Lesnar?
06:58Seriously.
06:59Braun Strowman, you don't stop Braun Strowman.
07:04I mean, and now Braun's trying to find a weapon just what this guy needs.
07:09And what I meant to say was how do you stop Braun?
07:12Let's give Godzilla a machine gun.
07:14This is no disqualification, guys, no rules.
07:19Indeed, and Braun Strowman with a table, it's just not a sight you wanna see.
07:26And they love tables in Philadelphia, there's no doubt about that.
07:29But, I mean, guys,
07:31Kane and Lesnar are still down and out outside the ring.
07:35Braun Strowman, guys, is trying to let the world know that he's still
07:38taking his claim here tonight at the Royal Rumble.
07:41Gonna show you again earlier on in this match.
07:43Watch this knee from Strowman.
07:46How the hell Brock Lesnar wasn't knocked out by that is beyond me.
07:49And then Lesnar would answer with his right hand.
07:53Here you go.
07:54Boom.
07:55I tell you, when you hit a man with a shot like Braun, hit Brock with,
07:59he come back with a big right hand.
08:01Yeah. You wonder about yourself.
08:02That right hand.
08:04If I got hit by that right hand, I would never move again.
08:06That's exactly my point.
08:08And here's Strowman now setting up a table.
08:11Again, what does the monster need with a table?
08:17Man started at a very quick pace, guys.
08:20It's slowing down just a bit.
08:22Yeah, but not in a good way, Book.
08:24Exactly, Braun Strowman is in total control.
08:30Strowman now strategically setting up a table.
08:33Kane looking to get to his feet.
08:41You know what they say about the Philly fans, right?
08:43My God, Kane and Strowman.
08:50Two behemoths and Strowman.
08:52Chokeslam, cover for the Universal title.
08:55Brock Lesnar barreling over the official to save the match.
08:59Uh-oh, uh-oh.
09:01German suplex to Strowman.
09:03Brock is not gonna lose the title that way, guys.
09:05You know where we're going, Corey?
09:09Suplex City.
09:10Triple Germans to Strowman.
09:13Better rattle your brain a little bit.
09:16Brock Lesnar just went to beast mode.
09:19Wait a minute.
09:20Meanwhile, Strowman picking Brock up and put him to a table.
09:25Cover.
09:25Cover for the title, Kane breaks it up.
09:32I tell you, I wonder if Brock would have kicked out if Kane wouldn't have been there
09:36to make that save.
09:38You gotta wonder.
09:39He was driven through with authority to the table.
09:45Yeah, but let's be honest.
09:47We just watched Strowman be taken to Suplex City with three Germans.
09:51And now he's doing this to Kane.
09:52He easily picks up Kane, and Strowman shoulder first into the table.
09:56And it almost looked like Braun knew it was coming, guys.
09:59And he said, let me just drive myself through it and try to brace it, I guess.
10:04Who knows what he's thinking?
10:06Kane is not ready to give it up just that easy, guys.
10:09I'm not totally certain that Strowman's still feeling okay after that right hand from Lesnar.
10:14And now Kane measuring Braun Strowman.
10:17Could it be the Big Red Machines night?
10:20Chokeslam to Braun, cover by Kane, for the Universal Championship.
10:25And Brock Lesnar breaks it up.
10:28Lesnar just dragging Kane around the ring.
10:30This is freaky, uh-oh, uh-oh.
10:34F5 by Lesnar.
10:36Universal Champion looking to retain.
10:40Strowman with a waistlock and then a German suplexed Lesnar.
10:45He picked him off the ground in a waistlock and then delivered a German suplex out of the ring.
10:49Wait a minute, you gotta be kidding me.
10:51No, we're not.
10:53Booker, the look on your face right now is incredible.
10:56Look at the power of Strowman here, power slam right through the table.
11:01So several moments ago, Lesnar's since recovered.
11:04But how strong do you have to be to waistlock Brock Lesnar into a German suplex out of the ring?
11:09I'm not an expert on strongman competitions like Strowman used to compete in, but
11:13I assure you throwing the Universal Champion was not one of the events.
11:16And come on, Braun and Brock Lesnar out here at ringside.
11:19This is a very uncomfortable situation for us and for Lesnar into the barricade.
11:24I'll tell you, what impresses me about Braun is his stamina.
11:27It seems like he's got a motor that just won't quit.
11:31With 385 pounds to have a gas tank like that, uh-oh.
11:35The German announced team better hope he doesn't deliver a German suplex to their table.
11:40Because there they go, Braun Strowman is rearranging furniture again.
11:46Stand in front of me, Cole.
11:48Yeah.
11:49I'm gonna throw him there anyway, Book.
11:53And now Braun Strowman with the champion Brock Lesnar.
11:58Dragging Lesnar back out to the table at ringside.
12:01And now it's Brock Lesnar, with Strowman up on his shoulder, F5.
12:05And through the table.
12:08Strowman's face bounced off the top of the table.
12:11Brock Lesnar with a vicious F5.
12:14That's the difference about this Brock Lesnar here, he's cunning, he's calculating.
12:19Lady, he waited to the right moment.
12:21And he's strong as hell.
12:22There was nothing cunning about that, Booker, but that was brute force.
12:25There's a reason he's called the Beast.
12:27And now what does Brock Lesnar have in mind here?
12:30Lesnar now turning his attention to our table.
12:34We have nowhere to go.
12:36I'm about to throw the German guy in front of me.
12:39Wait a minute.
12:40This is ridiculous here.
12:41My God, my God, Lesnar, Lesnar with our table, throw that.
12:47He's dead.
12:49Braun Strowman, Braun Strowman has been buried, buried under the announce table.
12:55Wow.
12:55By the champion Lesnar.
12:57What lengths is Lesnar willing to go to retain his Universal title?
13:02And now Kane's back on his feet, and Kane turns his attention to Lesnar.
13:06And now Kane with Lesnar, tongue-slam situation.
13:09Lesnar able to reverse it, Kane up top.
13:14And Kane onto the Spanish announce table.
13:18And it finally crashes through.
13:22Braun Strowman hasn't moved.
13:24He is lifeless under the announce table.
13:27Talking about the beast in Brock Lesnar, you see it right now, guys.
13:32This man, he's the most incredible champion.
13:34Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
13:35Braun Strowman, Braun Strowman just whipped the table.
13:37Just picked up the table and tossed it.
13:40And now the beast and the monster face-to-face, and Lesnar can't believe it.
13:45A look of disbelief in the face of Brock Lesnar.
13:50Who the hell out of here?
13:51And now Lesnar can't believe it.
13:52Get the hell out of here.
13:53And now Lesnar can't believe it.
13:53And now Lesnar can't believe it.
13:54Strowman with a kick right to the face.
13:56And Brock's skull just bounced off the steel ring stairs.
14:00And now Strowman with a champion back in the ring.
14:03And Braun Strowman looking somehow to win the Universal Championship.
14:06Definitely not for the famous Hawks this match here tonight, guys.
14:10This is as real as real can get.
14:14And Braun Strowman now has the champion in his sights.
14:18And now, here it is, the power slam.
14:20New champ.
14:21No, no, no.
14:22Whoa.
14:25Strowman wants to punish him.
14:27He realizes it's gonna take more than a power slam to take out Lesnar.
14:32And once again, the power slam.
14:34Just take the claim like this is unbelievable.
14:37No, Kane, chair, back to the spine of Braun Strowman.
14:41And now Kane with a weapon in hand.
14:45Right to the abdomen.
14:47Kane is very familiar with this position right here.
14:51This is nothing new.
14:57Braun Strowman has been sent outside the ring.
15:00Kane now turns his attention to the Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar.
15:06How many men have we seen go down to this big red machine, Kane?
15:11Kane center of the ring.
15:13Countless fuckers.
15:13It is a disaster area out here at ringside.
15:15And the Beast could join the list.
15:17Braun Strowman back on the apron.
15:19Kane driven into the monster.
15:20Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar with Kane out of his shoulders.
15:24Brock Lesnar with an effortless chair.
15:27Cover by Brock, hooks the leg.
15:30Ladies and gentlemen, Lesnar of pain, the Universal title.
15:34Here is your winner, and still the Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar.
15:42What an incredible match.
15:44Pure chaos, pure carnage, the entire ringside area has been destroyed.
15:50Bodies have been broken, it was barbaric.
15:55But Brock Lesnar remains your Universal Champion.
15:59And Brock Lesnar is still the Champion.
16:02Talk about the monster, but the Beast definitely stepped up tonight.
16:06And Steele, the Universal Champion.
16:13It is an absolute, just disaster area at ringside.
16:18How apropos is the name of Lesnar's F5 maneuver?
16:21Cuz that's what it looks like just ran through ringside.
16:25Wait, Strowman is back on his feet.
16:28Braun Strowman is back on his feet.
16:30You can't see me!
16:32You can't see me!
