WrestleMania Saturday In Las Vegas

WrestleMania Saturday hits Las Vegas like a flashbang, and we’re not easing into anything. Allegiant Stadium is packed, the celebrities are ringside, and the whole night keeps circling one question: what does “legacy” cost when the stakes are the Undisputed WWE Championship and Randy Orton is hunting a 15th world title?

We get chaos early when The Usos and LA Knight collide with Logan Paul, Austin Theory, and IShowSpeed in a match that feels ripped from today’s internet and WWE history at the same time. Speed’s raw athleticism is real, but so are the consequences when veterans smell panic. Then the tone shifts hard into an unsanctioned fight as Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu turn weapons into punctuation, pushing the violence until only one of them can still stand.

The surprises keep coming with Paige returning to shock the women’s tag title picture, while AJ Lee and Becky Lynch spiral into controversy and underhanded tactics. Seth Rollins vs Gunther becomes less “classic” and more street fight, and the night’s theme of betrayal pays off again when interference changes everything.

Finally, Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton should be a clean main event, but Pat McAfee drags the story into pure disorder and the refereeing gets downright bizarre. If you want WrestleMania spectacle, swerves, and high-stakes WWE storytelling, this one delivers.

WrestleMania Saturday Opening Hype

SPEAKER_32 0:04

Stand beside her and guide her through the night with the light from above from the mountain to the praise to the ocean with the together.

SPEAKER_41 2:00

For the second straight year, WrestleMania returns to Las Vegas. This is the home of the NFL Raiders. We are at Allegiance Stadium, now hosting the greatest spectacle in all of live entertainment. And you are looking live inside Allegiant Stadium. Over 50,000 WWE fans are expected tonight to witness history as Randy Orton hopes to creep closer to immortality in a 15th World Championship. However, the American nightmare, Cody Rhodes, the undisputed WWE champion, hopes to capitalize on over 20 years of history with Orton and knock off the Viper to retain his title. The stage is set, the scars are out. The WWE Universe is loud and proud.

SPEAKER_38 2:57

Let me be the first to say, welcome to WrestleMania Saturday!

SPEAKER_29 3:08

It's something you can't really explain. That feeling when the lights come on, the crowd roars, and you realize there's no bigger stage than this.

SPEAKER_17 3:26

The grandest stage of them all.

SPEAKER_36 3:29

The showcase of the immortal.

SPEAKER_39 3:34

I will give you a show like you have never seen before.

SPEAKER_29 3:38

The ultimate has begun. No brighter lights, no higher stakes, no louder crowd, and no second takes. It happens once. The eyes of the world are on this tonight. And it's forever. Ultimated will live forever! Because memories are made in this ring. And we, you and me, the fans, we get to be there. For the moments we'll never forget.

SPEAKER_11 4:12

What a spectacle we got here, Gino. Unbelievable. The greatest thing I've ever seen.

SPEAKER_29 4:17

We were there when the irresistible force met the immovable object. We were there when it seemed impossible until it happened. The streak is over! When legends took their final battle.

SPEAKER_21 4:31

It's over. Goodbye.

SPEAKER_29 4:33

When Seth shocked the world. Rollins with the heist of the century! When Cody finished his story and made his dad cry. And years from now, decades from now, our kids will tell their kids that we were alive and we were there. When Punk fought Robin for the title.

SPEAKER_41 5:17

They talk to me and they tell me that I am going to beat Cody Rhodes.

SPEAKER_29 5:23

When Jade and Rhea stood face to face. Welcome to the big ring! When Oba stepped onto the stage, the biggest stage of them all, for the very first time. There's no way to know exactly what draw the lies ahead.

SPEAKER_30 5:46

You've stole everything from me!

SPEAKER_29 5:49

But we know we're here for the pops and the surprises. There is nobody who can stop me. The memories that will last a lifetime.

SPEAKER_33 5:59

I love that title. I made that title.

SPEAKER_29 6:03

We are here. What a collision awaits. We are alive. No second takes. The greatest live event in entertainment. Lights up. The curtain's about to rise. Welcome to WrestleMania.

SPEAKER_41 6:33

And now stickers in WWE two K twenty six present WrestleMania.

SPEAKER_33 7:34

Ladies and gentlemen, great button, your host of Russell.

SPEAKER_28 8:16

Let's go through, let's go through.

SPEAKER_24 9:01

Sorry, uh, long time fan, long time performer, first time host. How am I doing so far? It's undeniable that this year's road to WrestleMania has been chaos. It has been unpredictable. And from every side, both in here, hell, even back there and out here, it has been very, very vocal. One could say it's Michael Cole, is it polarizing? Polarizing. Now I see why I got the hosting gig. This is the moment I love the most. Especially on the road to WrestleMania. We're all in here for the same reason because we know the time to talk is up. The time to deliver is now. And we are all here with one thing on our minds: who tonight will step up and deliver? It is such a great honor, ladies and gentlemen, and everyone watching around the world. Welcome to WrestleMania.

SPEAKER_33 11:20

It's a six men.

SPEAKER_41 11:38

Well, good luck spotting them in this massive audience. Nine time tag team champions. Over seventeen hundred days in the champs. And tonight again, heading in to WrestleMania. He's Wade Barrett. We are ready for WrestleMania. Yes, we are. The whole world is ready, but don't let it go without saying, Michael Cole, this is your 25th time calling the greatest spectacle in our industry from this desk. 25 not out, quarter of a century. Michael Cole, what an honor to be alongside you. It's an honor to be alongside you, but I wouldn't be here today, obviously, if it wasn't for these gentlemen in the ring, guys like the Usos, guys like uh Logan Paul and LA Knight and Roman Reigns and CM Punk and Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes and everyone who are gonna be a part of WrestleMania this year. You're looking at the Usos who last performed as a team at WrestleMania 39. They once had a record 622 days as tag team champions. The absolute greatest tag team in history. He is licking his chops to get into the ring against the vision tonight. The group that, well, sent him through a car with a tsunami back at the end of December. He was eliminated, LA Knight was by Logan Paul back at the elimination chamber match. So much history between LA Knight and the Vision. Yeah, so much hatred, so much animosity, and if you're gonna get even on any form of rivalry, especially one that runs as deep as LA Knight and the vision, you do it right here at WrestleMania. And wait, how fired up was Jay Uso this week? He got in a fight with brocaster Killicamp after being disrespected by him on his podcast. That's the emotions running high during WrestleMania week. Kind of similar to LA Knight attacking a certain I show speed on his live stream a couple of weeks ago. This thing has crossed into all kinds of media. And this match tonight is presented by Ram. Nothing stops Ram.

SPEAKER_38 15:32

I can not be so good, but can it hold? I can not be so bad, but it's still a humble. I can not do all this, I'm still a humble. I'm still home, I fly line press, I fan crest, couple hundred million and some fools on my neck, we don't need a move.

SPEAKER_33 15:51

I show speed and the world tag team champions, Wolf Subberry, and Logan Paul, the Vision.

SPEAKER_41 16:03

Well, at first, I show Speed didn't even want to be involved in this situation, advertising got involved, causing the USOs the tag titles, knocked out LA Knight, but he sort of bought it. We see saw him training with the vision over the past couple of weeks. But let's talk about experience. Now, I show speed, great athlete. We know that. However, he only has one match in WWE. That was last year's Royal Rumble match. He lasted 56 seconds back at WrestleMania 40. He's just in that time bottle. He got hard killed by all, so not a great track record. No, and it's been an absolute disaster for IShow Speed. Anytime he's got anywhere near a WWE ring. I mean, who can forget him getting broken in half in that particular Royal Rumble that you mentioned? But we're right, he's in way over his head tonight, and he lean needs to lean on the experience of his tag partners here in the vision, Austin Theory, and of course the now five-time WrestleMania competing Logan Paul. Like it or not, he is a veteran of this. I shall speak just like he's Superman. But to your point, Logan Paul beat AJ Styles last year. He has three wins at WrestleMania. Sometimes the spotlight just brings out the best in certain performances. Like Austin Theory. Remember what he did a few years back at WrestleMania when he beat John Cena. He also had a ladder match for the tag titles where he won it. WrestleMania 40. Theory's got some experience as well. Yes, indeed. And this is a very different version of Austin Theory, one who was far more laser focused. But the nonsense to one side, thanks, of course, to Paul Heyman and the vision. Of course, the division, Paul and Theory knocked off the Usos back at the end of March to win the World Tag Team titles. Thanks to ISO Speed. And the Usos with a double super kick wipes out the vision, and that leads I show speed. So start things off with LA Knight. There's some beef here. Oh well the game plan was in right from the start here. This is the man they really want right off the bat, the man who's caused them so many problems over the past several weeks. Nowhere to hide now, Speed. Let's see what you got. And I show speed with a side headlock to control LA Knight in the early going. I'll tell you momentarily. I'll tell you right now, that is day one wrestling school stuff. If this gets any deeper, he may struggle. However, we're starting to see that athleticism has really made a next show speed, and it could be game over from here. Again, you see the athleticism when it comes to eye show speed, no doubt about that. What is it? It's a huge benefit in that ring as Logan Paul now gets clocked to the outside, but a slam by speed. Speed show, he's been paying attention, whatever he's been learning, but don't take your eye off the megastar. Yeah, you can't prematurely celebrate when it comes to WWE. No match was ever won off a body slam I show speed, and certainly not against someone the caliber of an LA Knight. LA Knight bringing Logan Paul now into the ring as uh I show speed retreated and bouncing Paul off the top turnbuckle. Again, LA Knight with quite the history of the vision over the past year. The official end this matchup, Ryan Tran warning LA Knight as he stomps away at Logan Paul in the corner. And that's part of the issue here in WrestleMania. Adrenaline is running high for everyone, not least, of course, the competitors in the ring. You have to pay attention to the rules. And again, main event J. Uso, who last year at WrestleMania shocked the world when he won the World Heavyweight Championship with a win over the ring general Gunther, who we'll see later on tonight. And that's with Seth Rollins. Double team by the Usos. Fluid as water. So much instant chemistry with the Usos. Cover by Jimmy hooks the leg, and Logan kicks out at two. Together since the woo. That is why they are unsurpassed in the tag ranks here at WWE. Four wins at WrestleMania as a tag team. Of course, the Usos are second generation stars. Their father Rikishired WrestleMania wins. There was a tag there, and oh theory! Jimmy Uso did not see the tag at all behind his back. And now Austin Theory. Laying in wait, dropping the hammer at exactly the right time. Tag made. Here comes Logan Paul. Did you say something about a match number of being won by a power slam? Body slam. Body slam. Did you forget Hogan and Andre at WrestleMania 3? Followed up by a leg drop. I got a great memory for this. But you ain't beating me right at the start. Later on in the show when I'm tired, maybe. Celebrating Logan in Theory. I'll tell you, Theory has become a changed man. Well, it's uh joining the vision under the tutelage of Paul Heyman. He calls himself the pressure. Now he feeds off the pressure. Show yourself another speed. Logan Paul loves it. And if I show speed's gonna get anywhere in this game, using Logan Paul's career as the blueprint would be a pretty smart thing to do. Listen to the veterans just pull it off a touch quicker. But again, when you don't have a lot of matches, I mean you're gonna think. Right, you're not just going through it. Yeah, nothing is automatically show speed, and it really has shown from the off in this one. He knows how to do the moves, but pulling them off crisp crisply against the best is a very different equation. And now Logan Hall, who has proved himself to be among the best in WWE. Social media superstar turned world tag team champions full-time WWE superstar now. Body shots delivered to Jimmy. Yeah, let's face it, he's one hell of a box or two. One of the biggest right hands in the game here in WWE. Jimmy Uso has been knocked for six in the corner. And not to forget, that right hand has got a titanium plate in it. And now Jimmy Uso. Oh corkscrew Moonsaw off the top rope. Takes out Paul Boltman down. And here is a pivotal moment for both teams. Who can make the tag first? Who can get a fresh man into this? Jay Uso trying to rally his brother Jimmy to the corner to make a tag. Huge turning point in the match. This could be where it's won or lost. Both men make the tag. And now Jay Uso and Austin Theory. These two have been at each other for many months now. And now, oh, got caught. Joe Bolton a bit that Jay lands on his feet off the ropes. Man! Cover! Oh and Austin just rolled out of the way. And that oh, and Logan Paul's able to break things up. But Theory just moving out of the way momentarily may have cost Jay the match. Nice gump red suplex by Paul. Great instincts there from Logan Paul. People might not like him, but he is so good inside that ring and only getting better. And this one's breaking down in a big way now. Yeah, Theory with a big left hand. Jay Uso back into the ring and sent shoulder first into the post. That could be the end of J Uso right there. That's a super hit shoulder. Uh oh. I show speed trying to get out of harm's way. Not gonna happen. But maybe it is nice head scissors there from I show speed, but again celebrating too hard. Went for the PFT. Speed just sent Knight into Paul. Smart reversal there from Speed. Save himself and the match receiver way up.

SPEAKER_35 24:35

Get it up! Get it up!

SPEAKER_41 24:38

I don't think Speed did that on purpose, Wade. He certainly did not, however, that's not how Austin Theory saw it.

Usos Win And Speed Crashes Table

SPEAKER_35 24:55

In the speed, BFT! Cover by Knight! And then the U Shows win!

SPEAKER_33 25:05

Here are your winners for T4! The U Shows!

SPEAKER_41 25:17

Well, I'll tell you right now that has not sat well with the Vision. A major victory after that BFT, but things went to hell in a handbasket because i show speed simply didn't execute the plan correctly. Well, he was being bullied by the vision. You caught me my media! You have my gun there's that titanium plate in the right hand I was talking about.

SPEAKER_30 25:52

My mania! Austin's mania!

SPEAKER_41 25:55

And you would I mean uh I show speed does not deserve to be treated like this. I mean, he was willing to tag up with with Paul and Austin Theory of the Vision for this match tonight. That local Paul, I think, is gonna make speed pay some more. You know as well as I do, winning and losing at this level, there are consequences. And I show speed has to learn that the hard way. This is just a mugging now, a vicious assault. You said that right. Logan Paul calling speed a mora. Logan Paul's got those crazed eyes. He came here tonight to win, he does not accept losses, not in front of the eyes of the world, and I show speed. Well, wait, I I I think I think Paul's gonna go up top looking for a call from Grayson. Meanwhile, Jay Uso sends Paul into the ropes. One day. And Logan Paul sent to the floor. Come here, my man. You good? You good? Unlikely saver. Therefore, I show speed. This might get ugly here. The news shows encouraging I show spin to climb up to the top of a hell like that, hold on and pull down on the table. Don't do it, speak.

SPEAKER_35 27:54

That's a long way, Logan Paul is out.

SPEAKER_41 28:28

LA Knight in the Usos celebrating with I Show Speed, and that had to feel good after he was bullied throughout this match tonight by the vision. I promise you, it didn't feel good. He'll enjoy watching it back. Well, that was incredibly painful for ice show speed, but even more so, Logan Paul who may have a crushed rib cage. And now it's celebration time and speed yeeted as well.

SPEAKER_35 29:01

Welcome to WrestleMania. I show speed.

SPEAKER_41 29:14

Incredible from the top of the ring post, flying through the air, speed with an iShow splash through Logan Paul through the table. A WrestleMania moment for speed. What an absolutely insane thing to attempt. But if you're gonna do it anywhere, do it right here at WrestleMania, where the eyes of the world are on you. Hats off i show speed.

SPEAKER_16 30:26

Sneakers satisfies.

SPEAKER_08 30:30

Because of things like political gerrymandering, our parties have moved further and further apart, and it's harder and harder to find common ground.

SPEAKER_51 30:40

That's why two-thirds of Virginians voted to end partisan gerrymandering. But Richmond politicians want to shred our bipartisan process and draw maps for themselves again.

SPEAKER_25 30:50

And now they are trying to change this constitutional amendment and once again steal votes from people.

SPEAKER_51 30:57

Vote no on partisan gerrymandering.

SPEAKER_07 31:00

Hey Dan, have you heard of Calci? Yeah, the prediction market that lets you trade anything from sports to alien sightings. Alien sightings? When does that happen?

SPEAKER_61 31:17

You're probably right about the moon landing too. Hey! That's not true! We did that! You weren't there, bro!

SPEAKER_28 31:24

You wasn't there!

SPEAKER_00 31:27

Anyway, what's the yardage?

SPEAKER_05 31:29

395. To test the toughness of the three-row Kia Sorrento X Pro and the Kia Sorrento Turbo Hybrid, we recreated some of the wettest springs, hottest summers, windiest falls, and coldest winters.

Another big WWE fan in the house for WrestleMania. How about Tyrese Hallibarton from the Indiana Pacers here enjoying WrestleMania? So why can't we get one of those? Because you don't do well drunk. And also for me, SPN, Stephen A. Smith in the house for WrestleMania.

SPEAKER_33 36:13

The following is an unsanctioned match. There are no disqualifications, no count outs. The only way to win is by pinball or submission. WWE will not be held liable for damages or injuries.

SPEAKER_41 37:34

Oh, this is gonna be wild. So much hatred, so much malignant contempt has been built up between these two superstars. The only way to get this done is in unsanctioned fashion. The company said, do whatever you want to each other. We can't control you. We will not be held liable. How about it? In front of the eyes of the world. Drew McIntyre has gone back in time to revisit the history of Jacob Fatu and the time that he spent behind bars in prison. Jacob Fatu has talked about how he's changed. It's about his family now, it's about his wife and his kids. He is a werewolf, ready to win titles at WWE. But he said last night, Wade, if Drew McIntyre wants the old Jacob Fontou back for one night, he's gonna get him. And this match tonight is brought to you by Chumbo Casino. Step into the ring, play hundreds of free Casino style games in Smash Boredom. Let's jumba. All gas, no breaks. You have to think that an unsanctioned match was made for Jacob Fatu. Well, there's certainly a lot of loathing, but there must be some fear, too, right here in Las Vegas for both of these competitors, knowing full well the damage that will be incurred by both men who are capable of the highest levels of violent savagery.

SPEAKER_33 40:00

From Air Scotland, wiggle for two hundred and eighty-five class! Drew McIntyre!

SPEAKER_41 40:12

We know Drew McIntyre can get down and dirty with the best of them. Last year at WrestleMania, he knocked off Damian Priest in a 10. Today McIntyre has no rules to follow except to get a pitfall or a submission to win the match. Yeah, and this is a Drew McIntyre who was fully intent a few weeks ago on walking into WrestleMania as WWE champion. That went out of the window when he lost it to Cody Rhodes. Why did McIntyre do that? Because Jacob Fatou wishing little time going after Drew McIntyre in this unsanctioned match is underway. Believe McIntyre off the barricade, and here comes an unhinged Jacob Fatou. The referee has very little he needs to do in this match other than countless reach out or accept a submission. And I would not blame him. Well clear of these two on somebody needs to close in. McIntyre driven into the ring post by Jacob Fatou. He says under the water and steal and scratch. And that werewolf looks ravenous right now. Catching McIntyre Cole. That's exactly what you need to do.

SPEAKER_35 41:50

Get the upper hand early in this one.

SPEAKER_41 41:59

Sending a table into the ring, completely illegal under the rules of an unsanctioned match. Do you like the fact that Nick Aldous made this unsanctioned so WWE could not be held liable? Well, you had no choice whatsoever. You could have put a bunch of rules in place. You could have made sure this was an official match as a standard in WWE. Oh, these two are gonna throw it out the window anyway. I just noticed it's actually the referee in the ring right now, went up. I got better now, unloading a toolbox. That is P3 McIntyre. And I'll tell you why. And you see McIntyre backing off here. McIntyre remembers CM Punk inside Hell of Cell. Toolbox and tools where McIntyre had 17 stitches to his skull, and now McIntyre looking to use the toolbox.

SPEAKER_36 42:54

Maybe not.

SPEAKER_41 42:55

We almost ended the career with McIntyre. He maybe wants to see another toolbox again in his life.

SPEAKER_35 43:00

Oh, and my goodness with the back of his head, bouncing off the steel in race.

SPEAKER_41 43:07

And there's no let up whatsoever. And that's just some more batteries coming. Jacob Fatu, both the front and back of his head, getting smashed into the steel of that ringplay. Jacob Fatu had uh McIntyre on his heels early. Just like this, McIntyre has turned the tables. McIntyre prides himself on being the most vicious man in WWE, and he's certainly shown that over the past couple of years. If anyone can match him, it is Jacob Fatu. And McIntyre, but he's driven spy first into the post. So much rough power possessed by both of these men, so much durability. I'll put it back. Leave it alone. Did you hear that? Did you hear the thud when McIntyre collapsed the table of Jacob Fatto? And now using the phone to his advantage. Phone handed to him by his own brother, who flew here to watch McIntyre compete for the WWE Championship. Oh why McIntyre is so irrelevant. Didn't he learn a couple of years ago when he got involved in selfies and social media after he won the world title at WrestleMania what happened to him? Well, it looks like he just tweeted something. Go check that out right now as McIntyre continues his assault with more weapons of war. And again, that lucky red skin. Oh, it's Batuu with an explosive clothesline. It shows you how quickly someone like Jacob Vatu can bounce back from the kind of assault levied at him so far.

SPEAKER_39 44:56

The crazed eyes.

SPEAKER_41 44:58

And there's the running Senton. It is a freakish ability. But Jacob Fatu possesses a whirlwind approach. Underestimated this war. What is the Samoan Well? Paying homage to the late great Umaga. And McIntyre. And look at this. Fatou popped up Samoa. Cover by Fatou. Just to be clear, Drew McIntyre is 280 pounds. And Jacob Fatou threw him up in the air and caught him with ease. Let's take another look at this from Jacob Vatou. Popped in the air, caught on the way back down and driven down hard with that Samoan drop. This is just the second unstation match. Flying Glasgow kiss there, just about saving McIntyre when Germany swinging the steal with Jacob Vatou. And how quickly this one could turn around where every shot is as lethal as what we've seen. Yeah, the Glasgow kiss. Very lethal. McIntyre has used it to his advantage so many times over the years. Patu now reverses as McIntyre almost ran into his own chair, caught up with a back elbow. But the blakes on it just in the nick of time. Both men. Oh, starting to drag a little here and face first into that steel ring post. And now McIntyre. Oh up and over goes Jacob Fatu. And now Drew McIntyre seems like he's entering the zone here. McIntyre's just pissed off, but he got thrown up in the air by Fatu as well. Tasty your own medicine. He's always pissed off, Wade. I mean, that probably wasn't the only reason. Just bitter, unpredictable, and hell bent on scoring a major victory here in front of the wall. And the big man got a floor over the top. Take it out, Fatu, through McIntyre. He's a terminator in there. Just bouncing up immediately, knowing all way you've got to double down on this abuse. And now McIntyre looking for the death blow. Jacob able to duck underneath. And McIntyre now. Skull first into that steel chair and away to Fatto. Funny Moonsault. Come on by McIntyre. McIntyre kicked out. Oh my god. I'm not sure anyone has ever kicked out of Fatus. Funny Moonsault. Well, take a look at this, first of all. McIntyre putting it all on the line and connecting with Fatou, but just when he'd eating the steel head first, followed up by this double jump moonsault that is a signature of Fatus. Everyone who's tasted that has been beaten up till right now at WrestleMania and McIntyre staying alive, living dangerously.

SPEAKER_49 48:28

I thought he was playing with the gun.

Fatu Survives And Wins Brutally

SPEAKER_41 48:31

Over 50,000 tonight at Allegiance Stadium joining this and joining this matchup on ESPN2 and Netflix internationally. And now McIntyre for the wrench to the back of the knee. Just kneecapping his opponent here, and now going to town with a rough edge of that wrench. And again, you said it at the start of this match. Trying to take out the eye of Fontou here. And this is why it's unsanctioned, Cole. There's so much disdain, so much hatred, pure violence between these two men. About to say both men starting to drag, but Drew McIntyre has found the second wind at exactly the right time. There's no doubt about it. Each and every time we see McIntyre in action, we're more and more impressed with what this man can accomplish. He may be the greatest in history to come from the British Isles. And I don't say that lightly, but he proves it time and time again and is only getting better. And now with the steel chairs set up, McIntyre looking for a suplex. And Fatou through the chairs, cover by McIntyre. Oh, and a kick out. I think the only thing that's saved Fatou there is they didn't collide with both of those chairs. Yeah, it took a glancing blow to the back, which will be incredibly painful. But it's certainly not going to shatter the spine like McIntyre intended. And notice who the official is in this match, Dan Engler, who's had a uh quite the history with Drew McIntyre. And again, the repper has to do anything about it. Oh no, no, no, no. He just took the belt. Well, we saw something similar a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown. McIntyre whipping the hell out of Jacob Fatu, a man he calls an unreformed convict. He's looking to humiliate him once again at WrestleMania. The leather belt is set. Fatou slowly making his way back to his state and a super kick. Drops McIntyre. Just too much glee in the eyes of McIntyre there. Did not pounce when he could, waited a beat too long. And you can't do that with the whirlwork. And now a tear to the spine. You saw McIntyre trying to crawl toward the belt. But Fatou with another steel tear. It's not just the spine, it's the kidneys that get shredded, and it may be payback time. I don't think he's giving it back to England. Jacob Fatto. Did you hear the strike sway? Just absolute anarchy in that ring, and the frame of McIntyre may be shattered here. Pain coursing through his veins. Brain just shutting off, and once again, Fatou going back to that toolbox. McIntyre, who's knocked off Brock and Seth, and Priest and no Claymore! Jacob took a little too much time. Claymore by McIntyre and Fattoo kicks out. Oh, and that was a weak, weak kick out incredibly from Drew McIntyre's biggest weapon, the Claymore, the one that does all the damage. And now he's blaming the official for what he perceived was a slow count here. Both men so blinded by hatred, they've simply taken too long at times to launch vicious attacks. And their opponents have countered, and now they are both kicked out of their biggest moves. And where the hell do you go from here? WrestleMania Saturday is underway. Jacob Fatto, Drew McIntyre, unsanctioned match. Driving McIntyre down the bat. And look at Jacob Fatou go. We're about to learn a lot about these two. Who has the biggest appetite for warfare? Somebody's hopes are fading rapidly. Who can dig the deepest? And Jacob Fatu now set to set up a table. Again, thank you for joining us on ESPN 2 tonight for the first hour of WrestleMania. The rest of the show will continue in just a few moments over on the ESPN app. Part of the unlimited plan is Jacob Fatu now looks to take McIntyre out as he sends him face first into the table. And that swaggering confidence of Drew McIntyre feels like a long time ago at this point. Oh goodness, right across the elbow of McIntyre. McIntyre's body simply will not cooperate with him at this point. Trying to get some feeling back in those fingers. He's got bigger problems than fingers coming up here, though. And then McIntyre throwing on the table. Jacob Fatou looks to take the slow climb to the top open. McIntyre off the table. Chair bounced off the face of Fatou. And now McIntyre with an opportunity. Exactly what you've got to do. Wait until your opponent drops his guard and then hope you've got enough left in the tank to do something like this. Oh my goodness, McIntyre just sent Fontou through the table, which was set up here at ringside. And now McIntyre may have Fatou exactly where he wants him. What a devastating landing that was. Batuu somehow, some way, simply outlasting McIntyre for the volume of abuse both men absorb was something to behold. Jacob Batuu said he was going to go back in time for one night. And boy did he ever look how we go there. This is the moment McIntyre thought he had this thing one just fall to the outside, crashing through a table and crashing down hard. The issue McIntyre has at this point, he's got to get his opponent back in the ring, and that is when Jacob Batu turned it around. That toolbox once again in McIntyre's career haunted him, and then simply no way back from this. A one-two Wappy massive moonsault through the table. What a victory for Jacob Batu. Jacob Fatto puts to rest the demon known as Drew McIntyre. Jacob Fatou impressed him here tonight in this unsanctioned match against the Scottish warrior Drew McIntyre. And you have to wonder if this finally closes the book on what has been a long, long, vicious rivalry. Well, for the safety of these two men, I certainly hope so. But Fatu going onwards and upwards from here. Always said it's to be the number one representative of his family and claim the top goal here. Where does Fatu's career go from here? All options are on the table, but for McIntyre, this is going to be a bitter pill to swallow. And it's going to take a long, long time to get over this loss. The handcuffs were off for Jacob Fatu tonight in an impressive win on the grand stage of WrestleMania. Ladies and gentlemen in the States, we would love to thank you for joining us for this special presentation of WrestleMania Saturday on ESPN 2. We invite you now to head over to the ESPN app with the unlimited plan where you can catch the rest of WrestleMania featuring the matches you see on your screen now, including our main event. Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton for the undisputed WWE title. Let's see on the other side. Congratulations to Jacob Fox 2.

SPEAKER_19 58:37

Tiffy time never ends, huh? Well, more chumba time for me. Give Daddy those gold coins.

SPEAKER_48 58:44

The undisputed chumba champion has arrived. Give me that tablet.

SPEAKER_63 58:50

That easy.

SPEAKER_49 58:51

Kind of like the one Damien took from you.

SPEAKER_14 58:58

Whoa, whoa, chill guys. Now that Chumba's on board, there's enough gold coins for everyone.

SPEAKER_58 1:03:08

For decades, one stage has defined greatness. Icons were made here. Legacies were built here. This is WrestleMania.

SPEAKER_38 1:03:24

The old Hack I think.

SPEAKER_13 1:03:28

Let's go.

Night Continues And Card Rundown

SPEAKER_41 1:03:42

Aerial coverage of WrestleMania brought to you by Goodyear. Pride, tested, proven, legendary. And we are inside Allegiant Stadium tonight for WrestleMania Saturday. There is our own WWE blimp, enjoying the festivities in front of over 50,000 here tonight at WrestleMania. And it has been quite the start here to WrestleMania Wade. We had the uh two great matches uh on ESPN too, and now we welcome everyone in internationally on Netflix and of course in the United States on the ESPN app. Michael Cole, Wade Barrett. We've still got plenty more to come. Going to get to all that in a moment. But first, let's check on with our Spanish colleagues, Marcelo Rodriguez and Jerry Soda.

SPEAKER_18 1:04:33

Gracias por acompañarnos con nosotros de WrestleMania y que estamos en español, teleportan. Así que gracias por existir. Bienvenido a WrestleMania.

SPEAKER_41 1:04:44

Let's get to it for the rest of the night here tonight. Plenty of action on tap at WrestleMania Saturday. We have the Women's Intercontinental Championship. We're the Champion A. Sorry about that, folks. It's the Women's World Championship. Stephanie McCare and Liv Morgan go one-on-one here tonight. And six months out with a shoulder injury for Seth. Break him rollings, but right back in at the deep end versus the merciless ring General Gumper. They go one-on-one tonight. Okay, I'm so excited getting ahead of myself. Now we can talk about what's coming up a little bit later on tonight here in Las Vegas. And that is, of course, for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. AJ Lee looks to beat Becky Lynch for a fourth time, perhaps a fourth time with a Black Widow. That takes place here tonight. And mentor versus student, Viper versus QB1, 14-time world champ. Versus the current WWE champ Randy Orton versus Cody Rhodes. That is our main event later on tonight. And of course, Pat McAfee may well make his presence known.

SPEAKER_33 1:06:18

The following is a fatal full-way match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Champ! One member from each team will be legal at all times. The first team to score a pinball or submission will be declared the winners and the women's tag team championship.

SPEAKER_41 1:08:27

Only Alexa and Charlotte can pull off those outfits. The former tag team champions looking to win back the gold here tonight. Charlotte Flair, of course, has become synonymous with WrestleMania over the years. WrestleMania 34 when she beat Asuka to end the record undefeated streak of the efforts of tomorrow. She beat Rhea Ripley back at Mania 36. Rhonda Rousey at Mania 38, and of course, wait the history making WrestleMania 35 for Charlotte Flair, Rhonda Rousey and Becky Lynch. We'd be a part of the first ever women's match to main event, WrestleMania. Just so it clear Cole, I think you could pull off both of those out of the state. Let's move on because we've got two top stars who know all about hitting top gear at WrestleMania, looking to win that cat gold once again tonight. And this match tonight is brought to you by the Mandalorian and Grogu. Star Wars returns to the big stream. Experience Star Wars, the Mandalorian and Grogu, May 22nd, only in theaters. And I'm ax. Alexa Bliss back at Mania 36. We win the tag team title.

SPEAKER_33 1:10:07

Next, the team of Bailey and Lyra Valkyria.

SPEAKER_41 1:10:15

Bailey got what she wanted. An opportunity to once again be a part of WrestleMania. Remember last year Wade, Becky Lynch, we would find out later, would attack Bailey, taking her out of WrestleMania. Becky would replace her to team with Lyra Valkyria to win the tag team goal. Yeah, it was a short-lived reign. And of course, Becky Lynch who had previously attacked Bailey then went on to attack Lyra before these two got back together, smoothed things over, and now launching an assault on finally getting the goal here at WrestleMania. Bailey has three wins in this great spectacle. Of course, back at WrestleMania 40, which should be EOSCE to win the WWE Women's Championship.

SPEAKER_33 1:11:25

Yes, they are the WWE Women's Team Champions! Naya Jack and Lash Legend, the irresistible force.

SPEAKER_41 1:11:40

And both Naya and Lash Legend paying homage to Legends. Brand new WWE Hall of Famers axe and smash demolition were inducted at just a very emotional ceremony last night. Yeah, from one powerhouse duo to another. Here comes the Naya, and here comes the Lasher, the reigning tag team champs here for the women in WWE. And what an unstoppable powerhouse duo they make. Yeah, they won the tag titles back at the end of February by knocking off Rhea Ripley and Eo Sky. Undefeated as a team. A pair of foes as you could possibly imagine. Possess zero physical weaknesses on a hell of a lot of assets. And damn, they look good tonight. Ready to sparkle here in the desert. Alexa Bliss looking on her and Naya Jackson quite the rivalry. In fact, Naya knocked off Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania to win the world title.

SPEAKER_23 1:13:04

So I tried really hard, you guys, to overcome this injury, and unfortunately, I couldn't get it mentally clear today. And I wasn't about to ruin Breeze WrestleMania moment. So to take my place, I called an old friend.

SPEAKER_35 1:13:55

Paige has returned to WWE. Oh man, I don't think we ever thought we would save the day. But welcome back, Paige!

SPEAKER_33 1:14:18

And the reponents accompanied by WWE Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella, the team of Bree Bella and Page!

SPEAKER_41 1:14:32

No secret that the Bellas and Page are longtime friends, but there is no way anyone knew Paige was gonna be here at WrestleMania. Alright, your heart goes out to Nikki Bella, who's missed out because of that injury, but what a major surprise! And what a major shot in the arm for this audience who have truly been given a gift here with the return of Paige. Paige looks in tremendous shape here tonight. And she will team with Bree Bella as part of this fatal four way match for the women's tag team titles. And I'm just looking up some doing some research real quick here, Wade. Go ahead with your point. I was gonna say the entire UK must be jumping out of their couches right now. I know it's late there. I'm sure you're buzzing with energy thanks to the return of Paige got the famous Knight Dynasty over there while she's back and she's coming for the goal. And and apparently, I believe this is uh this is Paige's first time in a WWE ring in more than eight years. Paige, of course, who made her main roster debut as Last Legend starts things off now against Bree Bella, Bailey in this as well, and so is Alexa Bliss. Four women in the ring at one time. First team to gain pinfall of submission will win the tag titles. Meanwhile, back paige made her main roster debut, remember, against AJ Lear, her intercontinental champion, when she would win a championship. Straight in at the top and straight back at the top for Paige. And of course, in this match, you can only tag your own tag partner. And now making the most of that. Oh, the irresistible forces. Oh, geez, Bailey. Last legend has been so impressive and incredible since teaming with Naya Jax. I mean, how can these two fail? Let's be honest. Two powerhouses that are both worth double. It's basically four against two every time they're in tag matches. I still can't stop looking at the apron. Paige is actually in this matchway. Oh man, this place is going to explode when she gets to oh! Charlotte Flair with a high cross body. And the Queen now sends Nya Jax out of the ring and delivers a chop to Bree. You know, you see Charlotte Flair, and you talk about Paige. Remember back at NXT when Paige, Charlotte, and Becky were part of that team. PCB, and look at this, Bree Bella hooking up Charlotte and kicks out. Yeah, here's the problem he's got a four-way matchup. So with the rules like this, there's always gonna be opponents flying, and every time you go for a move, a pin, whatever. You've got to have your rules without you in there. Bree Bella using Lyra Valkyria as a weapon, and then Lyra wiping out Bree. How much does this affect Bree? Obviously, it's great, you've got Paige, but you are used to teaming with your own twin sister. Again, I'm looking back in time here, and as a Brie Bella delivers the yes kicks now to Charlotte and Lyra. Paige actually teamed with Bray and a WrestleMania with a with Bree on a WrestleMania kickoff show a number of years ago. Oh, step up in Zaguri. That's not a particularly deep resume as a tag team, but you'll take whatever you can get at this point. Gonna have to click into gear very, very quickly here. And that's tough to do when you've got Naya Jacks rearranging your spine. And a tag made in Lash Legend now legal. I love everything about Lash Legend. For many people, that is the future of the women's division right there. And that is a small example of exactly why they've taken this war by storm since arriving. Choke slammed right onto the eight minute bailing. Charlotte Flair with a big poop drops Nye to the floor. Lash Legend for that boot to Charlotte. Charlotte is absolutely brilliant, has all the experience in the war, but there's so little you can do against someone with a frame like Lash Legend who knows how to use it. Using those veteran wilds now is Charlotte Flair and smartly tagging out, getting the fresh Alexa Bliss in there for a go. And now Bliss. Oh, and a DDT delivered to Lash Legend. Now Lyra of Valkyria back into the fray. Once you've got Lash Legend out of the ring, do whatever you can on your opponents and capitalize. And now Bailey and Lyra with a frequent tags. Double team coming. Backbreaker. And Bailey delivers the elbow to Bliss. Ding dong, you idiots. And Lash Legend gonna break up the near fall. Well, Lash was down, but certainly not out and poised at the right time to break up that pin. Fingertips away from her partner Paige before Lash Legend intercepts and sends her to the corner. And how much would Lash Legend love to spoil this return of Paige by preventing her from even getting tagged in? Get this one finished before Page can even enter. Yeah, I was gonna say, Paige hasn't even been in this matchup. Nicky tries to roll the crowd on. Alexa Bliss now and Lyra Valkyria gonna double team Bree. It's all about loose alliances in this one. Attack opponents, but keep your wits out about you. These things never last long. And now last legend so confident she powers her way in here. Bougie Bully doing her thing. Yeah, sending Bliss and Lyra to the mat. Meanwhile, Bree Bella perched on the top rope, missile drop hit by Bree. And an absolute bullseye at that taking a lot out of Bree. Four women down, fresh Palmer's now on the apron, demanding entry into this match. Got to tag your own partner. Lyra trying to drag herself to Bailey. Tag Maybe here comes Nia Jackson. Here comes Charlotte Flair Bailey in as well. Charlotte with a big boot. Nice number one by Naya Jackson. Now that intolerable overnight here comes Paige. What the world's been waiting for. The two-ton division champion.

SPEAKER_35 1:21:10

Page taking it to Nia. Page is looking better than ever.

SPEAKER_41 1:21:33

And Page now sent out to the eight one. Ross legend gets caught by a kick. Page now. Look at the well placed knees to Legend. Wearing Legend out. Just a step ahead of the competition since that tiger's page. What is she cooking up here? Page now up the top rope across body to Levant. Lyra Valkyrie rolls through. Beautiful. Nice Lyra. Lyra looking for Nightwing. Page able to counter. Scrambling out of exactly the right turn. Page Turner isn't enough to put her away. Turning back to Clark with a Page Turner. And that was Samoan drop by Naya Jax. And Jax just going on a tear at the right time. This is championship time now. We're going to retain the gold here and dump Bree Bellar out on a head, but tonight. Now Naya Brigo down. Last legend from behind. They're going to hook up Lyra for a last extension here. Cover Page and Charlotte break it up. And they needed to because that was game over for Lyra Valkyria. Kept the match alive for themselves. I mentioned that these two were teammates many years ago in an XT. We're going to get to the clear of the ring and make this one-on-one. Teammates, rivals. Two women that led us to the evolution. Big shot by Charlotte. Looking for the figure eight. Page is looking for the selection. Alexa Bliss. With Paige in trouble. Repel the Yanking Charlotte out of the way.

SPEAKER_35 1:24:00

Distracting Nicky. Wait a minute. Nikki with the crutch. Nicky with the crutch.

SPEAKER_41 1:24:12

Page got her knees up. Well, that pause was all it took for Paige to recover. Page play page.

SPEAKER_35 1:24:22

Page and play with the tap Thomas.

SPEAKER_33 1:24:26

You are your winners. And two WWE Women's 10 Champions.

SPEAKER_22 1:24:42

What an emotional moment tonight.

SPEAKER_41 1:24:45

The return of Paige to interk and awe for the entire industry. Paige back where she belongs. And back at the very top. This is the moment Nikki Bella got involved from the outside. Of course, Crueley taken out of the match with that ankle injury now. Attacking Sean and Flair with that crotch, wiping out Flair, distracting Bliss, giving Paige enough time to recover. Bring up the knees on this twisted bliss. And then really make it count. Moments later with this cradle DDT, Ram Page. And we have new tag champ, shockingly. Bree Bella and Paige. Paige won a championship on her debut in WWE over a decade ago. And now she returns for the first time in eight years. And what does she do? She wins gold again. Paige is returned to WWE to win the tag team titles. That is just the ultimate feel good story. If you're a fan of this industry, a fan of the journey we've all been on over the past 15 years in the women's division. Paige, that was amazing. Congratulations. Well, you know, everyone is out for WrestleMania. Even the Mandalorian and Grogu, who traveled to see tonight's action. And we have a sneak peek at their new movie, Star Wars, The Mandalorian and Grogu, filmed for IMAX and in theaters May 22nd.

SPEAKER_12 1:27:07

Grogu will live centuries beyond me. I won't always be around to protect him.

SPEAKER_61 1:27:14

This is about preventing another war and protecting everything the rebellion fought for.

SPEAKER_15 1:28:23

Credit one bank presents Cancelina. She's a credit record. She loves canceling older credit cards when they're paid off. But what she doesn't know is that canceling them can decrease the length of her history and hurt her credit mix. Both of which could lower her score. Don't be like Cancelina.

SPEAKER_47 1:29:11

Everything okay up there?

SPEAKER_13 1:29:14

We're good. There's no match for Wi-Fi this smart. It's about to start. Xfinity. Imagine that.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:25

Hey Dan, have you heard of Calci? Yeah, the prediction market that lets you trade anything from sports to alien sightings. Alien sightings? When does that happen?

SPEAKER_61 1:29:41

You're probably right about the moon landing too. That's not true. We did that! You wasn't there, bro! You wasn't there.

SPEAKER_00 1:29:51

Anyway. What's the art of shit? 395?

SPEAKER_44 1:29:56

So close you can almost taste it. What? You just gonna walk away? Time to bring the juice.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:06

Never leave a fit behind. Rip it, rip it, and bring the juice.

SPEAKER_17 1:30:16

That flavor's just out of reach. Drop the legals and bring the juice.

SPEAKER_08 1:30:25

Because of things like political gerrymandering, our parties have moved further and further apart, and it's harder and harder to find common ground.

SPEAKER_51 1:30:35

That's why two-thirds of Virginians voted to end partisan gerrymandering. But Richmond politicians want to shred our bipartisan process and draw maps for themselves again.

SPEAKER_25 1:30:46

And now they are trying to change this constitutional amendment and once again steal votes from people.

SPEAKER_51 1:30:53

Vote no on partisan gerrymandering.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:56

When you don't order furniture from Wayfair, it's natural to wonder what if. Like, what if your friend Charles hates it?

With Wayfair, you don't have to wonder what if.

AJ Lee Vs Becky Ends In Controversy

SPEAKER_33 1:34:38

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the wonder years. The following contest in number one call is for the winners in the Continental Tier! Introducing first the telegram from Dublin Ireland!

SPEAKER_35 1:36:12

The man!

SPEAKER_33 1:37:47

And to a poet from Union City, New Jersey. She is the women in the Cup of the Champion! AJ Lee.

SPEAKER_41 1:38:06

Moments ago we saw Paige. And now for the first time in 11 years at WrestleMania, AJ Lee skips her way to the ring. Okay, you saw Becky confronting the official Jessica Carr moments ago. Go ahead. I am absolutely furious. Sorry to take the shine from this entrance of AJ Lee fans, but I cannot fail to notice that the official who has been placed in charge of this championship matchup is none other than Jessica Carr. Jessica Fast Count Carr, who has been a major thorn in the side of the challenger, Becky Lynch, for the past 12 months, costing her several matches. And I'll tell you this right now, Michael Cole, there is zero chance Jessica Carr is going to be unbiased in this one. It is a conspiracy, it is a scandal. And this match tonight is brought to you by Wendy's. Wendy's invented the spicy chicken sandwich, and now they're reinventing it, making it crispier than ever before. Wendy's spicy chicken. We're so back. AJ Lee defending the Intercontinental Championship against Becky Lynch. And for Becky, there's really just one key strategy in this match tonight. That is avoid the submission move known as the Black Widow. They've met three times over the past seven months. Three times. Becky is tapped out to the Black Widow. Well, I'll half agree with you. Yes, avoid the Black Widow at all costs because that is a guaranteed L. The other half is avoid the biased referee indecision. How much is Becky paying you to keep up this propaganda to give her an out when she loses to AJ tonight? Doesn't have to pay me a penny. I speak the truth, and like you, Michael Cole. 25 years plus of nonsense right here at WrestleMania. Congratulations. And this has become very personal between these two. Becky Lynch revealing that her five-year-old daughter, her favorite wrestler, AJ Lynch. Longstanding rival Stratman, a couple of errors, as you mentioned, but AJ has simply been quick tonight for Becky Lynch ever since returning, delivering multiple humiliations at the man, and that humiliation may be complete with victory tonight. Becky Lynch, though, we cannot ignore her resume at WrestleMania. One of the great resumes, four wins, tied for the most of all time in the women's division. And Lynch from the office already coming unclued here, but nice bit of power here from the Irish woman. Yeah, suckling AJ Lee and all the way slam into the barricade. Well, the first 30 seconds of this match were an absolute disaster for Lynch. Well, that is an example right there of why she is permanently championship caliber. Continues to make history. There's Becky Lynch. What's the Mania 32? And she won the inaugural WWE Women's Championship. Becky, of course, part of the main event. First women's main event in WrestleMania history back at WrestleMania 35. And now Lynch goes a leg drop off the top row. Cover now by Becky to win the title and a kick out by Lee. Yeah, you're not going to put AJ Lee away that easily, but certainly softening up the champ and doing some major damage from the off. Gritting her teeth. Well, Becky's got to be careful because the official Jessica Carr is a cheat. Well, it's not going to take anything from Becky tonight. Becky now with a clothesline. Very intense, very determined. Becky with a floater, sending AJ to the center of the ring. Call to the cover. To the leg. Only kick out at two. Well, it's been Becky Lynch's greatest hits in the first 90 seconds of this matchup, and there is no relenting, just pure hatred oozing out of the paws of Lynch. Well, Becky should be concentrating a bit more on AJ thanks. Hold on. AJ taking up the time off the panel. What on earth is she doing that for? That came back to bite her at the elimination chamber and she ended up regreting it and losing the match. Screaming in the ear of Jessica Carr.

SPEAKER_38 1:42:30

I can't. I can't believe this you are absolutely insane. You know that?

SPEAKER_41 1:42:34

Absolutely insane. You can't call a competitor that if you are a neutral official. Just call the competitor insane. Oh now AJ rolling up Becky may catch her here in a kick out at two. Yeah, nice distraction there from the referee Jessica Fasco and Cobb. Also didn't hear what Becky was screaming in the ear of Jessica either. She was whispering. One person was screaming. And now completely turning this around after an impromptu insertion by the referee is AJ Lee. AJ with a knee to the face. And now a high for the tornado TDT. Becky center toward the middle of the rank. AJ, what a collision. That was nasty catch in the jaw of Becky Lynch. And collision like that normally does not behoove you to be the lighter competitor like AJ Lee is. Brilliant. Diminutive individual. And that's a shockwaves down the spine of the chap. And AJ Lee. So nimble, so sliding underneath and taking Becky off her feet. Slowly but surely, AJ Lee is getting a major foothold in this match after the early abuse that she took. AJ Oh, missile drop kick. Connecting, gonna crawl toward the cup. Looking to retain her intercontinental championship that she won back at the elimination chamber event. And I'll hand it all to AJ Lee. So impressive since returning, completely undefeated since coming back. The ring rust truly is off, and she is simply getting better with each matchup, and that is scary for the rest of the women's division. And as AJ gets better, Becky becomes more black widow there, Cole. And Becky was able to counter. That's what you've got to do in the build-up to this matchup. Work on your counters for that one move, Oka. Now Becky Lynch creating some space. AJ back to her feet. Becky stunned now. Went for the shining wizard. Becky, though, able to pick her out of the air. Stack it up with the champion. And a kick out. Body of AJ Lee just bends in the strangest of ways, almost like a contortionist, and clearly Lynch using that to her advantage on a highly tight stacked pin there.

SPEAKER_39 1:44:40

There's over 50,000 here tonight in Las Vegas for WrestleMania Saturday, witnessing the Intercontinental Championship match between the champion who's in trouble, AJ Lee, and the former champ, Becky Lynch.

SPEAKER_41 1:44:54

Permanent snarl etched on the face of Becky Lynch here, who's got a real number on the champ thus far. Looking for the man handle slam. And AJ Lee turns it into an arm drag. And a kick now to the back of the neck. It's that speed, that pace of AJ Lee that really is the difference maker here. And Becky Lynch swings her into the second rope. Great counter by Becky. And that's what Fight Camp has been all about for Becky Lynch. That one move that's been the problem. And now the man had a slam. Becky Lynch to win the intercominal title. AJ Lee just got the shoulder up. Is that shock or is that fury in the eyes of Becky Lynch? Because she thought she had this one. What an amazing reversal out of that black widow there. The neck of AJ Lee surgically repaired, catching that middle rope, followed up with this manhandle slamming. It should have been over. But the resilience of AJ Lee coming to the fore. Yeah, just angry, Becky Wynch. She sends AJ in the corner now, stopping away. Gotta be careful. She doesn't get disqualified here. Yeah, especially when you never know the referee's count cadence. She did get it. They're not adjusted from Carr's face. I mean, I respect Carr for letting things go in this match, being a championship member, but she's hitting up. Well, turn about fair play. Can't say Becky didn't deserve that. Technically, it could have been a disqualification there for Becky Lynch. Sets her up to millisecond away from victory for the champ. AJ Lee thought she had it in the back after a major distraction. Once again, Becky Lynch not focused on her opponent, simply focusing on the referee. Well, she went after the official. Jessica Carr ducked underneath, and it allowed AJ to strike. And it really is up for grabs now. Both women laid out, both women have dropped major shots on their opponent, but her opponent has been equal to it. But in a sense, the end is inching closer. AJ, right hand. Becky delivers one of her own and another. Slugfest continues. And then a slugfest on back unpacking the bigger, more powerful athlete in this case. AJ Lee with a block window. Oh Joe, get into all of those ropes. Get it in Globsa. Trying to grab the rope to force a blank. I think she had a handful of hair, which caused AJ Lee to slip out of the hole. Somehow went a second that turnbuckle just fell off in the hands of Becky Lynch. I don't think anyone saw it. The official in front of him.

SPEAKER_35 1:48:00

And now sending AJ Lee into the exposed steel turnbuckle. And now a man in a sweater chasing a car has no idea what happened. And Becky Lynch is a 25 intercontinental champion.

SPEAKER_33 1:48:14

Here is your women and new women intercontinental champion. The man Becky Lee!

SPEAKER_41 1:48:30

Well, all is well in the world. Not only did Becky Lynch thwar the biased refereeing of Jessica Carr, she finally, finally defeated her cripple night, AJ Lee, and now is shining with the goal. Well, this is where it almost went wrong for Becky Lynch. Shoving match with the official walking eight dangerous line here. Potential disqualification, but to be fair, was let go. But immediately there on the offense was AJ Lee with a manhandled slam of her own and a late, late kick out. But this is pivotal here. The Black Widow escape, apparently pulling the hair of AJ Lee that the referee did not quite catch. But immediately following that up with some underhanded tactics, removing that turnbuckle, pulling the ref in the way. Referee got sandwiched as she backed out unbeknownst to the left, head first into the steal when AJ Lee and followed off. One man handles Lam later. We got a new intercontinental champ, and it's them once again on top of the world. You can't be upset at the way she lost that match, only because Becky Lynch exposed the steel.

Aerial coverage of WrestleMania is brought to you by Goodyear. Legends aren't born. They're proven. And speaking of legends, we got many in the house here tonight at WrestleMania, including my guy, one of my good friends, Chuck Sido, the actor, here tonight in the house. And of course, George Kittle, still there. Drinking beer. Well, he's a lucky man, isn't he? Give Chuck his beer back. How many beers is that now? At least the ones we've seen. And he hasn't shared any with us. Terrence Crawford. He's retired, but he's one of the all-time great boxers. He's here tonight enjoying the show. Bunny Marco, the comedian. And well, he I don't think they're going to outdrink Kittle. I don't think that's going to happen, guys. I'd give it a go, though. I wouldn't mind giving it a try. How about Connor Benn rolls through footboxing? Oh my god, what a legend. His father, Nigel Ben, the Dark Destroyer, my all-time favorite boxer at Connor Ben now. Huge win last week. Hey, and there is no bigger legend than the general who's giving a break to the Dortman family. They're going from the upper bowl of the ringside. All thanks to the general. They give you a break on your car insurance when you need it most.

SPEAKER_33 1:57:25

The ring general.

SPEAKER_41 1:57:30

Well, Gunther has a lot to prove tonight. He does not have a great track record when it comes to WrestleMania. Two of the biggest upsets in WrestleMania history happened to him. 666-day reign as Intercontinental Champion ended by Sami Zayn. His reign as world champion ended last year by main event Jay Uso. So I saw the kickoff show yesterday, and Gunther very specifically told you, Michael Cole, to shut up. Now that Gunther is an earshot, I suggest you heed his advice. Okay, so he's the career killer. He's ended the careers of Goldberg and John Cena and AJ Styles. Love to do that to Rollins tonight. We'll get into that story in a moment. And this match is presented by the General Insurance. The General Insurance gives you a break when you need it most.

SPEAKER_33 1:58:27

Hence the ring general from seven for Iowa, wake it for two hundred and twenty-five pounds!

SPEAKER_39 1:59:57

Seth Rollins entering his fifteenth WrestleMania like a Phoenix rising from the ashes.

SPEAKER_41 2:01:14

I mean, back in after six months out with the pressure of WrestleMania against a career killer like Juntler. No, thank you. And I'll say right now, Seth Rollins really is this generation's Mr. WrestleMania, the guy who does it time and time again. Well, this might even be too steep a hill for him to climb. Well, for those comes to the eyes. And for those of you who are expecting a five-star wrestling match tonight, folks, I don't think you're gonna get it. This is a brawl, this is a fight. Rollins and Gunther, Rollins wearing Gunther out. Yeah, and the problem in a fight is you cannot dictate the pace. And if you've been out of action for six months, it is a dangerous game to be playing. But Rollins here completely unclued. That Gunther put himself into WrestleMania by attacking Rollins from behind. As well, it was about to take out Paul Heyman. Yes, he did. And what does Gunther get for that? He is owed a favor by Paul Heyman, but it better be it better be a damn good favor considering the beating he's getting from Rollins is. Wait, when is the last time you've seen Seth like this? It's set like this, upset like this. Well, not only is Seth and victim of relentless attacks in the preceding weeks to WrestleMania from Gunther, he's also been diverted out of the way of his major mission. So, Gunther, you're gonna take the blows for now, and eventually, Seth hopes he'll get back to Paul Heyman at out. Gunther just trying to regroup, senior official Chad Patton, with his hands full in this matchup, and the fight's gonna continue. Finally, we're underway. That's the only reason we did not get a disqualification for those chair shots moments ago. And there, big chop by Gunther, Seth Rollins with a boot, chop to the Adams Apple that just bounced off Seth Rollins, who, as you say, is so incensed, so irate, and so motivated to cut Gunther down easier, said the dump. And now Gunther looking to take control, sleeper hold that's taken out so many men here. Think about AJ Styles, think about John Cena, and now on to the German suplex, Seth able to land a bit awkwardly, but still landed on his feet. I mean, you have the kind of career Seth Rollins has had, you're gonna have a lot of injuries racking from top, from head to toe, right now, bouncing past everything. Jonta throws at him, and now these stomps just well. Speaking of stomp, Rollins going for one, and he ran into a close line. Wade, this is not what I expected in this match. I don't think anyone would have expected this, knowing full well these are two technicians. However, clearly bad blood coming to a boil here. And Gunther's game plan from the off was to make this as fast pace as possible. Test the cardio conditioning of Seth Rollins, who's been out of commission for six months. Well, Seth passed the early test, but can he dig deep enough to show some major durability here? Well, Gunther tried to get the upper hand early, and all it did was enrage Rollins. But now Gunther has slowed the pace to where he likes it. That methodical beatdown of your opponent. Well, Gunther is just disciplined and he's driven traditionalist, and this is more in the wheelhouse of Gunther right now. Gunther thrives on predictability, does his homework, press like a machine. Seth has to throw some curveballs at Gunther if he's gonna have any chance from this point. Do something Gunther has not strategized for, but first of all, you've got to get from beneath the boots of the ring general. It's interesting that Gunther brought up the fact that these two men had one match seven years ago. Nothing was concluded in that matchup, and it's been bothering Gunther ever since. He claims that Rollins has been dodging him. Says he's hated Rollins for years, takes issue with the fact that many call Rollins the best bow to bow on the planet. Well, he's got eight wins in WrestleMania history. Uh does Seth Rollins over the likes of Rock Lesnar, Triple H. Remember the heist of the century, the cash-in of the money in the bank contract at WrestleMania 31. He can take nothing away from the career of Seth Creek and Rollins, one of the best to ever pull on a pair of boots. But when you talk about the best bell to bell in Gunther's mind, that distinction belongs exclusively to him. Well, it may be exclusively to Gunther now. One of the things he wants to prove in this match tonight. Rollins fighting back. Chopped right tonight. Back bouncing Rollins off the turnbuckle. And Rollins all of a sudden looks like somebody who has been on the shelf for the past six months and is trying to come back at the very top. No warm-up matches, no easing your way back into this. Simply the brightest of spotlights, the biggest pressure, and against this man mounting, the ring general. Gunther now has Seth in trouble. Rollins near the top rope. Deadly. And one of his own. Rollins is possessed tonight. Yeah, one of the embers were burning inside Rollins just enough to throw one big Larry of his own. This was after this impressive buckle pop from Seth Rollins dropped with a massive swinging clothesline. But hey, under some of that too, Gunfer. Both men now lay down. It is an incredible scene tonight with over 50,000 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for WrestleMania Saturday. Seth Rollins and Gunther squaring off. And I'll tell you right now, I thought Seth Rollins was going to be toast by now, especially given the frenetic pace of this one from the off. But the fact that Gunther is the one who's laid out, and Seth is the one who looks closest to being recovered is absolutely stunning. And Gunfer with a kit right across the face. And another one. Rollins follows it up with a running forearm. I mean, we talked about this not being a five-star classic, it's simply being a dogfight from the word cut. Not low, not looking to show off their range, not looking to show off their scientific skills, just looking to beat the other man into submission. Gunther just has a massive chip on his shoulder. Rollins upset with the way that this matchup came about. Gunther's done a really nice job of slowing Rollins down. That was always going to be the big threat for Gunther. The movement, the agility of Seth freaking Rollins. Well, we just haven't seen enough of that so far from Rollins. And that's because Gunther has backed him into a corner. Loves to trash talk, loves to bully his opponent. He's got a headbutt of his own. Now he's going to fight out of the case. Chop after chop after chop by Rollins. Rollins taking the fight to Gunther. Stacks him up. Kick out by Rollins. See how quick Gunther is. Rollins momentarily glanced at the official and allowed Gunther to do this. Yeah, two things. Speed of mind. And on top of that, just a sheer power, explosive advantage over Rollins. And Gunther needs to do more of that if he's going to get the win here. Seth Rollins, we've learned over many years. Tremendous resilience. No doubt about it. But I'm going to give some credit to Gunther here. Look at the names he's retired over the past 12 months. And look at who he targeted for this WrestleMania. Gunther doesn't care about the also rounds in this game. If you're not A, Gunther doesn't want you. He wants the best every single time. Well, and Gunther's made a point, set with a you know a list of injuries over his career. He said, Maybe you suffer another one tonight. Maybe I end your career. I mean, that is one way to build a terrifying reputation for yourself. And growing by the month is John Slack. I mean, no matter what you think about the man, I mean, best in the world inside the ring. So all I'm gonna say now. I've said it on a number of occasions. Yeah, he's the yardstick for the current era in ring, unsurpassed in all areas of mat competition. And doesn't he know it? Looks in the best shape of his life. He's completely matchup proof. I don't care your style. High flyer, power, technical. I'm gonna beat you. Seth Rollins though! Seth able to turn things around. He hooks Gunther and a backdrop back to the pedigree. And Gunther able to counter and a big super kick by Rollins. Robs Gunther to an A. Seth looking for the stop and caught him in the knee. Seth caught him with the knee. And this is that pace that's so crucial for Seth Rollins against someone like Gunther. Set up by the cherry denied again. Oh what a unique reversal. Shoulders are down, and Rollins has got a bridge out, but he's still got Gunther in position for the pedigree, which he finally hits. Gunther tried his best to get out of it, didn't get a full pedigree there, but got enough. Cover by Roberts got the kicks out and two, and that right there might be the moment Seth Holmes got a hell in a handbasket. Not only a pedigree, albeit not flush, that stop was as flush as they get. And John, there's something inside that human being that is simply abnormal, kicking out from that level of offense. These two men physically exhausted, physically beaten in a match that went from zero to ten immediately. And is that doubt in the eyes of the architect Seth Rollins? I give him two of my best. He should be over. I should be home and try, grabbing that knee. I just noticed there. That right knee of Seth Rollins that has caused major problems throughout his career. Yeah, we saw him come down on it a bit awkwardly early on in the matchup. Now Gunther back to his feet. Is Seth Rollins going to watch himself? Run on the knee. Yeah, went for a big stomp there. And Guntner was able to move out of harm's way. Rollins rolls him up, stacks him up, shoulders down. Gunther kicks it. Into a center. Great counter by Gunther. Into a sleeper. Magnificent counter by the ring general. Unlocked center of the ring. A million miles from Annie Wolf. Way out of reach here for Seth Rollins. And now there's a bigger, stronger athlete pinning him in position. What a spectacular counter by Gunther into the sleeper. Rollins trying to hang on, trying to create space, trying to create separation, trying to make it back to his feet. Rollins now back to a vertical base. And that is freakish from Seth Freaking Rollins with that bicep now being priced away. And Rollins is out of the sleeper. And another two men running on fumes here. Someone's about to drop here, Cole. Gunner, what a close line! Did you hear that? Oh man, just when Seth Rollins had the wind in his sails. And it looks like Gunner's ready to take flight, and it might not be off his own volition. And now Rollins hooking Gunther superplex. Vintage Rollins, ladies and gentlemen, thoughts it all kicks out. And now Rollins with a sweeper. Rollins with a sweeper out of the flying pan into the fire. And Gunther might be about to fall on his own sword here. It's got the gonna tap out again at WrestleMania. It's Gunner gonna tap again at WrestleMania. Gunther's fade again, Gunther's fade in the wall, and he gets his foot on a bottom roll. We're talking about it time and again, that huge frame of Gunther. What an advantage it was there! And Rollins now he's got to be questioning himself what does he do at this point? I mean, he's thrown everything but the kitchen sink at Gunther, and one way or another, Gunther lives on, and Gunther is living dangerously here, but living he is. Struggling to even maintain a vertical base on the momentum back with Seth Rollins on the belief is there. Suicide dive takes out Gunther, and I don't think Seth's done yet. Keep the pedal to the metal, Seth. Another suicide comfort though, even to Hulk Rollins, power bomb on the apron, kidney first, power bomb on the table. Absolutely no give whatsoever. But Jump for is not finished there. Oh god, this is getting ugly. Referee keeping a very close eye on this as the camp goes up. And that might be a knockout of Gumper. He's not finished yet. He knows Gumfra is an absolute freak. Oh God. I know he's gonna go for a massive stop. Oh my god. Rollins looking for a massive stop. Gunther has no idea what's going on. Oh, that was horrific. Gunther beaten and busted. But a rifle really needs to check on Gunther here because Gunther is an absolute mass of wingside.

Braun Breakker Interference Seals It

SPEAKER_35 2:17:14

What a match! Broadbreaker! Broadbreaker!

SPEAKER_41 2:17:31

The vision's broad breaker, the man who kicked Rollins out of the vision, the man who's been out with a major injury over the past couple of months. Wallings back to hold Rollins. Breaker broke Rollins in half. Gunfer, meanwhile, dragging himself to his feet on the referee. Who is staggering back? Rollins staring back at his nemesis. He better turn around. Gunzer back into play with the sleeper, dropping the legs around the body of Rollins. Rollins, you can barely breathe after the spear. Well, this is like taking candy from a baby for Gunther here. A severely weakened Rollins after that spear from the head case breaker. Rollins is fading. Gunther's got it locked in. Seth Rollins may be out. I think he's out there, Joe. Rollins is out. Gunther wins. That was an incredible match. Oh, that was absolutely incredible before Broadbreaker came from out of nowhere to end Rollins WrestleMania dream. Well, however, you need to get the job done at WrestleMania. You do it. I have no idea if Gunther has any clue that Broadbreaker even came down after he was laid out on this desk. Take another look at this. The closing moments of the match. Gunther taking command, kidney first into that ring apron, following up with a power bomb on our desk, but then it turned around in a hurry. Pedigree head first onto the announced desk with no gear. Followed up by this stop. Sickening. Skull first, bouncing off the steel desk, and then with the referee, otherwise engaged out of nowhere. The shocking return of Broadbreaker spearing Seth Rollins to hell. And then the inevitable, the squeeze, the sleeper. Rollins is out. Rollins, the man who formed the vision in his vision, only to be kicked out of the group last fall, led by that man. The unpredictable badass Braun Breaker. Oh no, oh no, oh no. Braun Breaker! Braun Breaker! Great next speed! Down the rail! Rollins is defenseless! Twenty-three miles an hour, top speed down the ramp, all directed on the midsection of Seth Freaking Rollins. That is a warning. Stay well away from the vision, Seth, because there's plenty more where that came from. Paul Heyman. A man who pitches his wagon for the next hottest thing in this industry. And it will be a fool to deny that that man is brought on the point. Things have gone from bad to very worse for Steph Rollins.

Weekly raises a glass to Staff Sergeant Arista and all retired and active members of the U.S. military. Thank you for your service. Buckle up. It's time for our main event.

SPEAKER_06 3:05:15

You know, I always watched the uh relationship between Triple H and Randy. Triple H was Randy's mentor. They became opponents. The relationship wasn't as cozy. And I always thought, I don't know if that's how I want to be one day with Randy Orton, my mentor. And in the case of Randy, I don't think it will be that way. I don't think it will be that way.

SPEAKER_46 3:05:49

I'm not your son and I'm not your brother, but I have always been proud to be your boy. And after the main event of WrestleMania, I want you to know I will always love you.

SPEAKER_41 3:06:27

It's not personal between Cody and I. I want my legacy to be how much gold I have put around my waist.

SPEAKER_03 3:06:37

Here I find myself in a pool of bug. Sitting in a home up, a gabbo.

SPEAKER_25 3:06:49

I just don't understand why you're fighting so hard to go back to being a version of yourself you've already been.

SPEAKER_26 3:06:57

Oh it's the voices in your head. I don't know if it's somebody in your ear. I don't even think I know this version of the man.

SPEAKER_30 3:07:16

He said I could be the viper! What you have broken inside of me! There's no putting back to bed.

SPEAKER_22 3:07:24

Brandy Orton! I am hearing those voices inside my head finally!

SPEAKER_41 3:07:32

There is one person outside of my head whose voice I am listening to.

SPEAKER_22 3:07:41

The business that you're leading is terrible! It's gonna save this business! This is what this business is supposed to look like! You and everyone who represents you can kiss my ass! Tony walks right up front of the stage to ruin artists.

SPEAKER_29 3:08:27

Randy saves the business.

unknown 3:08:29

This is the house of Windows.

SPEAKER_41 3:09:19

Yeah, you know what? I've been giving a lot of thought to this over the past few weeks. That man right there who now is telling the WWE fans what he thinks about him. This is the man who embraced these fans over the past number of years. This is the man who stood next to me when Cody Rhodes finished his story. The night that Cody Rhodes won the championship in WrestleMania. He had tears in his eyes. He was as emotional as I was for Cody Rhodes and what Rhodes had finally accomplished. And now, a few short years later, this guy walks into our business. He disrespects everyone, strumps out here with this massive ego, and claims that he's gonna change the way things are done around here. I don't know what's happened to this guy, I don't know what's got in his head, except that this ass has an ego that is blowing completely out of control. I'm not gonna try and add reason to the rhyme of some of the things that Maccabees said in recent weeks like you, there's very little of it that I agree with, but what it has done is created buzz, it's created eyeballs on this matchup now that perhaps might not have been there otherwise. I agree, there's no doubt about it. I said it on ESPN this week. How Mac could be being a part of this product will always generate buzz. People are talking about it. He talks about it on the show on ESPN, but it's the way he's going about this! This attitude he has, this larger than thou feeling. I got a lot of other words I can say about him too. If you do, he has been loved, he has been hated, he's been everything in between, but right now I think it's pretty much 100% on the hated end of that spectrum. Look at this jock rider. The undisputed WWE Championship match is brought to you by Wheatley American vodka. Wheatley is the undisputed champion with ten times dispilled because cutting quarters is in America. Tonight they celebrate the superstars aiming to achieve your own American dream. Grab an American mule today with Wheatley, the official vodka of WWE. Please enjoy responsibly. I don't understand why Autumn needs McAfee in his ear. I'll tell you why it needs McAfee in his ear. There is nothing McAfee can offer Autumn when it comes to this business. No advice has been given that will help Autumn. What McAfee has done is divided the attention of Orton's opponent, Cody Rhodes. 90% of the interviews in the lead up to this, but Cody has done a beat about McAfee. That's a mistake.

SPEAKER_35 3:18:14

The son of the green.

SPEAKER_41 3:22:19

Beautiful wife here as well. And what has been a very trying couple of months for the undisputed WWE champion, a man who wants to be QB1, who wants to be the champion that people, that kids will look up to, the man to carry this company into the next generation, doing everything right.

SPEAKER_22 3:22:40

But even men like Cody Rose, after what he's been put through the past three years, will reach a breaking point. Will that breaking point be tonight?

SPEAKER_41 3:23:03

We've used the word polarizing a lot tonight, Wayne. You can hear the reaction from the 50,000 plus here tonight in Las Vegas. Well, in unison, they're completely behind QB1 Cody Rhodes. They know what he's got for this industry. They know the words of Pat McAfee several weeks ago, criticizing what QB1 Cody Rhodes represents here. They know that's nonsense. He then didn't criticize Cody Rhodes. He criticized our industry, he criticized our business, he criticized all the WWE fans that have made that what this is today. All the stroke his own ego for some damn reason that none of us can understand. Well, does Pat actually believe a word of what he said, or was he simply trying to get into the head of Cody Rhodes for whatever reason? Well, if that was the game plan, it has worked. Let's be clear. The focus of Cody is split tonight. It's made about time. Here's Alicia Taylor.

SPEAKER_33 3:24:08

The following contest is kitchen for one ball and his for the undisputed WWE Champion Chair. Introducing first the challenger. Yeah, right, Alicia.

SPEAKER_35 3:24:41

Listen up, you disgusting pigs.

SPEAKER_22 3:24:44

Make some noise for the man who stands at six foot five, two hundred and seventy-five pounds. A depiction of perfection in professional wrestling. When he walks out of here tonight, he's gonna show each and every one of you fat ass bombs, what greatness looks like as he becomes a fifteen time world champion. The man who's gonna save the business tonight.

SPEAKER_33 3:25:52

Roman Georgia wiggle at two hundred and twenty-two pounds. He is the undisputed WWE Champion! The American Nightmare Judy Row.

SPEAKER_41 3:26:42

He brings that down here, Charles Willerson. Oh my god, come on! McAfee assaulting Rhodes with a microphone. And now Randy Orton beating the hell out of the champion. And the match hasn't even started yet. And right before the bell was gonna ring, the fix is in. McAfee knows exactly what he's doing, as callous, as cold as you like. And Cody trying to fight back now. Randy Orton sent into the corner. And now Pat McAfee trying to get into the play. Sending Duck. Cody Rhodes. Get him! Cross Rhodes! Oh god, no, Pat McAfee! Take him off, McAfee! Thanks for coming. Well, the master plan simply didn't work for McAfee and Orton here. Okay, Cody Rhodes isn't done yet. You can't blame him. You can't blame Cody Rhodes, Wade. Oh god, you cannot blame Cody Rhodes. Take him out, Cody. Take him out. Man who threw so many barbs at Cody Rhodes, through physical shots at Cody Rhodes. Well, welcome to the main event of WrestleMania Pat McAfee. Everything he's done to you, Cody, beat the hell out of him. Everything he's done to you. Jelly Roll is here. The man also McAfee for McAfee. Jelly Roll on the Spanish announce table. McAfee halfway to hell.

SPEAKER_30 3:28:24

Go give him a bite, they came to see.

Orton Fights Hurt As Cody Presses

Referee Chaos And Cody Retains

SPEAKER_41 3:28:31

Bring the garbage truck out and take out the trash. Oh wow, McAfee completely wiped out. The ball hasn't even wronged. On everything now, back in the favor of the champ, Cody Rose. Yeah, Cody telling Kittle to take out the trash. McAfee's out. Well, McAfee needs a stretcher. I think there's one on the way here. He needs a slink, is what he needs. And Randy Alton looking on at a flattened Pat McAfee. Whatever game plan was in place for the challenger here has completely gone out the window. One other look. Kelly Rolls with an elbow, driving McAfee throughout an outs table as Cody Rhodes looks on with a smile. And now, as they get McAfee out of here, Wayne, here's the situation. Finally, we're going to get that one-on-one thing I need. That's the match between Orton and Rhodes. Finally, equal playing field. Nobody screwing around. Rhodes and Orton for the title. Well, the fix was attempted by McAfee, the jump star before the bell even rang. McAfee now has a one-way ticket to hospital. So wait, I do want to bring this up as they deal with McAfee at Ringside. Randy Orton. Randy Orton, there's been rumors running rampant online all week long about Randy Orton possibly being injured. From what I understand here, from what I understand, in the locker room today, there was a lot of talk about Randy Orton having a back injury. So will he be 100% confident? You know what you call that? You call that a red herring. That's just another thing being thrown at Cody Rhodes to think about. I don't believe it for a second. Randy's been through the walls in his career. We know he's had major back issues. I don't see any sign of that right now. Randy's fine. So does this McAfee situation screw Randy up and off? 100%. Clearly, McAfee was here to be on the outside, to be a major issue and a dawn in the sides. We take another look at what just went down before our main event even got started as a crossroads, followed off by this elbow drop through the table by Jelly Roll, who've been attacked by Austin and McAfee in the build-up to this. McAfee is being carted out. Cody Rhodes is ready for a fight. The Viper Randy Orton looks to regroup. What is at stake here is Rhodes' undisputed WWE championship and Randy Orton's march toward history. A win tonight moves him ahead of Triple H into third place all time with 15 world titles. Flair at 16, C at 17. Orton would love to break the records. He moves a minute closer if he wins tonight. This is the third main event in WrestleMania in Randy Orton's career. 22 years at WrestleMania this year. This is really a position that neither man thought they were going to be in at this point of the match. The opening bell, no Pat McAfee here to help Orton, no Pat McAfee here to distract Cody Rhodes. We're getting straight up student versus teacher. Well, I'll tell you right now, Cole, it really works out well when the student starts to outshine that teacher. So now the lockup collar and elbow tie up into a headlock by Randy Orton. Orton and Rhodes here tonight. What does Orton have to do to win the title? Well, Orton needs to think fast because whatever game plan he had on the outside with Pat McAfee, he needs to lean into 25 years of experience and come up with a new game plan pretty damn quickly. For Cody Rhodes, a man who's had a mixed bag in WrestleMania over the years. What does Cody need to do to keep the title? Well, Cody needs to stay calm. He's been popped through the wood chipper by Randy Orton emotionally and physically over the past several weeks. Needs to block that out, realize this is just another man you are competing against. Time and again, Cody has beaten the best of this industry over the past three years. Well, he needs to do it again tonight. Well, Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, the relationship dates back 20 years. The formation of legacy with Ted DBSC Jr., Cody Rhodes, and Randy Orton. Really giving Rhodes his start here at this level in WWE, and there's the shoulder tackle by Orton, who seems to be moving crisply so far. Don't believe a word of the hype you see online, Michael Cole. Well, it's not just online. There was a lot of talk in the locker room today about it. Because people in the locker room believe the nonsense they read online. Well, this is Randy Orton, who looks absolutely back to a physical peak. Cody bounced off the top turnbuckle by the Viper. Randy Orton, who has nine wins at WrestleMania. He's tied fifth all time with a man we saw earlier tonight, Seth Rollins. What is Randy's primary motivation? He wants to be the greatest of all time in terms of total championships. It's one step closer tonight with a victory, a number 15. Rhodes looking at out quick. There's the drop down with the right hand. Randy misses Wildman. Cody Rhodes on a power slam. I'll tell you right now, speaking to Cody, I was very close to him during my in-ring career, and Cody would always, always talk on in rental cars at bars about how much he was inspired and impressed by Randy Orton. How Randy Orton was the perfect wrestler. Nobody has studied Randy Orton as deeply as Cody Rhodes has. Rhodes now off the second row. He went to the Cody Cutter. Got caught by Orton now and Randy. Oh, and we haven't seen Randy do that in a while. He delivered a backbreaker. Randy came up a bit lame. Oh. You saw the way that Randy's back is body torqued as he delivered that to Cody Rhodes. Now the moment of truth. Remember the King of the Ring a couple of years back, uh, earlier on a few months back. Randy Orton with a thumb to the eye. Cody Rhodes wouldn't pull the trigger on Randy. It almost cost him. We talk about a back issue, of course. Randy's career almost ended just a couple of years ago by a major back surgery, and that was certainly something tweaked in that lower back. You can see if Randy can shrug that off. That sometimes happens early in matches. You're not quite warm. Those were long entrances, a lot of nonsense on the outside before the match even starts. Sometimes your body cools down. Randy Manner just tweaked a little something, and once the body temperature gets back up, it was running fast. Oh, buddy Range delivering Randy with the slam. Randy now wildly sent to the right hand, and Randy's on he's hurting and he's gonna roll out of the ring. There was that back once again, and I called it a red herring earlier. Maybe this is what the hype was in the locker room. I told you the rumors started to come out earlier in the week, and then there was a lot of talk about it today. And Randy is really hurting. Imagine being Randy Orton. You came down here expecting to be a hundred percent. You came down here expecting to have Pat McAfee in your corner. You're the challenger in the main event of WrestleMania, and everything just went to hell in a handbasket. Oh, Randy's even just looking slow. Oh, and now driving Randy into the corner back first. Cody Rhodes being extremely aggressive here tonight. Understanding Orton's got a problem, and now with a half crab, Cody Rhodes gonna continue to apply the pressure to the injured back of Orton. I mean, this is what you have to do when you're as good as these two. That any weakness whatsoever, you have to exploit it. You cannot have a single hesitation. Gold is on the line here. Your career legacy is on the line here. This man wants to take everything from you. Randy Orton admitting in an interview we did with you, Wade, that uh Cody's like a brother to him, but this is about his legacy. That is what drives Randy at this point in his career. Yeah, it was a fascinating interview. I was amazed at how calm and controlled Randy Randy was. There's a certain controlled psychosis about him, which I realize is an oxymoron, but it's true. It's like Randy can flick a switch, and that absolute beast inside him comes out to play. And I'm impressed with what Cody's doing tonight. No hesitation to attack the weakness of Orton. Well, not at all, and this is what you have to do at this level. And after everything Orton has done to Cody over the past four or so weeks, this is exactly what Orton deserves. Who can forget the blast to the head with that steel chair several weeks ago on SmackDown that left Cody a bloody mess? Well, ended that friendship. Orton blames Cody for all of their saying that Cody Rhodes is the one that unleashed the demons, told him to be R. And Randy took it to heart. Randy is just a binary personality. It's black and it's white, it's it's friend or it's foe. And when gold is on the line, you make a choice. Even if you go back to the King of the Ring tournament, the final last year, Randy momentarily hesitated to put Cody away in that match. He's he's regretted it ever since. And if he gets a chance tonight, he certainly will not make that same mistake again. And Cody had the same issue in that tournament with Orton. And you saw tonight, he wasn't gonna allow it to happen in this time around. All bets are off at this point. You hesitate when it's a friend. These two stopped being friends several weeks ago. Well, not if you listen to Rant. Elbows to the ear. Cody Rhodes reversing Rhodes center to the corner over the top, scoops up for an incombination and a kick out of two and again right to the kidney area. And Randy's having trouble just standing. Look at the way his feet are he can't even stand right. Randy is a shadow of the man that has been on the road to WrestleMania that got himself here. Well, it's all gonna ride tonight. Cody now delivers a suplex. Great strategy by the champ into the cover, and again, these frequent covers also hurting the back of Orton is he has to kick out. Yeah, absolutely. Applies pressure to the midsection, constantly having to squeeze your torso and you ride that kick out, just triggering whatever sciatic issue that might be. Randy just trying to somehow get himself back from the match as Cody Rhodes now looks to climb to the top rope. Randy's barely got a shot in for the past five minutes. He's been absorbing abuse and Randy Orton able to cause Cody to lose his lose his balance, and now Randy has a chance. And out Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes exchanging blows. Orton needs to end this match quickly to have a chance. I mean, can he block out the pain enough to deliver enough damage to Cody to put him away? That's the problem. And this is not small. Not at all, not at all. Randy. Randy letting his instincts kick in. But a superpux to go won't be good for Orton either. Cowboy Bob Orton style, Randy Orton reverting to tight and clearly regretting it. Well, look at this. You go big or you go home at WrestleMania, and it may be time for Randy Orton to go home because going big there was a big mistake. But at least the superplex from Works' standpoint has slowed Cody down a bit. And there's a close line by Randy. And now Randy looking to build off adrenaline. There's the power slam by Orton. Superlative best. And that pain, as much as it's hindering Orton's abilities, if he can block it out, if he can focus, if he can just do enough, there is a path to victory. And this is it. And there's the great B D T that vintage Randy Orton move, but again, twerking the back. I'll tell you right now, there may not be a move in the entirety of wrestling that does not involve the back somehow. And even going down and dropping to apparently bang the mat was an issue for Orton there. But there's more than one way to skin a cat back to his feet. Went for the RKO. Cody able to counter. Randy grabbed his back again. Now sent out to the floor right here in front of us. Just a beat too slow, is Orton to follow up on what he's planning. And Cody runs into a right hand by Randy, and Randy needed that. A nice club right to the temple of Cody Rhodes. And Randy Orton knocking the wind out of Cody at the right time. Look at the mess and destruction around us. It may be about to get worse here. Randy Orton loves delivering those blows on the announce table, which he's doing to Cody Rhodes here. Cody does have the advantage tonight, being the champion. Randy's got a pinner submit Rhodes to win the title. A brave referee who does a double count out here. I'm keeping well back from Randy Orton. That smile across the face of the Viper. Oh no, Ort driven into the post by Cody. And Cody looking to rally. Cody's been softened off, but he's got a die hard spirit. This has been a physical match, and Cody, of course, he was attacked before the match even began by McAfee and Orton. Which might have been the best thing that could have happened to Cody Rhodes based on how things turned out in the aftermath of said attack. And Cody now can focus on that wound on the forehead of Randy. Randy Orton's problems continue to spiral in this main event with the WWE title hanging in the ballot. And now when I rate Cody Rhodes and Angry Rhodes taking advantage of everything he can against Randy Orton. Perhaps would have had some sympathy, some empathy from his former mentor, from his former friend. We can't show that tonight, Cody. Yeah, but a lot has changed in the last four weeks. Oh, and there it is. The disaster kick by Rhodes. Randy Orton drops in the ring. Cody's got a chance into the cover to retain the championship. Orton just gets to shoulder up. Well, Orton is a shell of a competitor right now, and you're in there with one of the greatest in Cody Rhodes. Not where you want to be. We're going Rambo style tonight. This has become just a methodical beatdown by Cody. Almost enjoying what he's doing to Orton. Well, it's catharsis, isn't it? Everything Orton has put Cody through over the past month or so. Well, here's your reward, Viper. Well, I mentioned at the top of the match where at some point everybody reaches that breaking point. And we wondered if Cody was going to reach it tonight. Beating the hell out of Randy Orton here, and Randy Orton just looking limp. Cody's been through so much mentally. And now Draggy Randy Orton up to the second rope, and Cody Rhodes may be about to deliver some of Randy's own medicine. Well, this will be an emphatic way to punt down the Viper for good. This is a different Cody Rhodes tonight. Randy talked about his legacy. It's about Cody's legacy as well. A three-time world champion. Well, you feel if Cody can put something on Alton here, it really is game over. And Cody wants to do it in style, my guy. And now just mocking Randy. Crossroads to Cody. Cody kicked out. Orton that close to a 15th World Championship. What a burst of energy and a burst of ideas at exactly the right time there from Randy Orton. Simply transcendent from the Viper, connecting just when it looked like it was over with that crossroads and spinning momentum back in his favor. But how quickly can Orton get back to being the Viper? How quickly can he put a stranglehold on this match? Now he has the advantage because Cody has been rocked. And now Slimers into possession, coiled and ready to strike. Randy Orton measuring Rhodes went for the Arkeo back slide by Cody. Shoulders down on kicks out by Rhodes, and Randy kicks out one of those dangerous three letters in all of wrestling, but only one by the Viper. One backslide immediately pounced upon with an RKO delivered with Panash, but not delivered with enough to get the three kept. Cody Rhodes, the champion. Randy Orton, the busted open challenger, who just collapsed on the floor in front of us. Cody, the man who has this industry pumping through his veins, the man who has defended us against all the insults from McAfee from all the attacks by Randy Orton. Now looking to finish the job. Randy Orton took the low road while Cody Rhodes, happy to meet him there. And out of worry. And he's won matches from that position before, though, Cole. He can never write off the viper, although that moment is looking near. OK! Out of nowhere! Randy from 15 title runs kicks out. Well coiled, ready to strike, written off by the entire planet, but still venomous as ever. But somehow it wasn't enough. This is where it's game over for Orton until it wasn't. RKO connecting and astoundingly a kick out from a broken Cody Rhodes and two men who look completely spent in this main event, but someone has to win this thing. Rhodes is spent. Oh, Calyo! To the official, Charles Robinson. Well, Randy was blinded. I don't know if he even was aware, but that was the official. As he goes to his longtime friend, Charles Robinson. Orton now from behind. And Randy went to he was gonna go low, wasn't he? And Cody went low on his own. Pumped to the eyes, low blow by Rhodes. We'll take this fight wherever you want to, Randy. That's the message from Cody Rhodes. Do what you gotta do. The way this man has been treated, you can't blame him. Oh Jesus. Oh what the hell? Who never gave him a reparation? Who made him a damn official?

SPEAKER_35 3:53:06

Is this is this legal?

SPEAKER_41 3:53:30

There's no way this is legal. Well Pat McAfee apparently protected by higher ups in TKO, as has been alluded to on SmackDown the past couple of weeks. Who knows at this point, Cole? Referee Charles Robinson starting to come through. Randy Orton now.

SPEAKER_35 3:53:53

Sit out, Pat, put out another Delta Grace. Crossroads. Cover Cody Rackets.

SPEAKER_33 3:54:09

The undisputed WWE champion. The American right there. Cody.

SPEAKER_35 3:54:21

The student became the teacher tonight.

SPEAKER_41 3:54:26

Tony Rhodes with the killer instinct. And that stupid Pat McAfee may have cost Horton an opportunity to win his 15th world title. Well, this is a matchup that ended up looking nothing like any of us anticipated. And this is where Cody pumped Randy in the eye. Ref missed it. Ref then hit an RKO. Randy attempting the low blow. Cody was wise to it. Low blow of his O. Well, this is where things really took a crazy, crazy turn. An attempt from Cody turned into an RKO. And before Randy can make the cover, Matt McAfee had turned up, made the pinfall, didn't make it. Randy throwing RKOs out with a bander, but Cody ready to capitalize. One crossroads later. Still Gv1 and still the Jack. Cody Rhodes. We talked about all this man has been through over the past few months. Hell the last three years. But Cody Rhodes stands victorious tonight.

SPEAKER_17 3:57:35

Drop the legals and bring the juice.

SPEAKER_51 3:57:54

That's why two-thirds of Virginians voted to end partisan gerrymandering. Richmond politicians want to shred our bipartisan process and draw maps for themselves again.

SPEAKER_25 3:58:05

And now they are trying to change this constitutional amendment and once again steal votes from people.

SPEAKER_51 3:58:11

Vote no on partisan gerrymandering.
