00:00:00The crossover star, everyone who is anyone knows exactly who Rhea Bloody Ripley is.
00:00:08What a hero's evasion she's getting here.
00:00:11From the humble beginnings of Riot City Wrestling here in Australia,
00:00:16to becoming a three-time world champion, a Royal Rumble winner, an NXT champion.
00:00:23Rhea Ripley is on top of the world.
00:00:26And now she hopes to follow in the footsteps of what fellow Australian Bronson Reed accomplished earlier tonight.
00:00:35And that was a victory over the OTC Roman Reigns.
00:00:41Hardball victory at that, and this is not going to be any easier for Rhea Ripley and her partner EO Sky.
00:00:47Now we talked about the breakup in the relationship between EO Sky and the Kabuki Warriors.
00:00:52The catalyst for that was Rhea Bloody Ripley.
00:00:57And Asuka was not impressed that EO was showing some loyalty to Rhea Ripley,
00:01:02rather than staying with the original crew from Japan.
00:01:05That's where these issues really became a problem.
00:01:09Rhea Ripley and EO Sky go way back.
00:01:11They've been together a number of times in NXT.
00:01:13They've, of course, been competitors and rivals.
00:01:15Big, a lot has been made over the fact that Rhea's never been able to beat EO Sky in one-on-one action.
00:01:21But tonight they find themselves teammates.
00:01:23Oh, look out now.
00:01:24Kabuki Warriors wasted a little time going right after EO Sky and Rhea Ripley.
00:01:29And this is great strategy by the former tag champs.
00:01:31As well they should.
00:01:32I'll say right now, that shows a tag team in the Kabuki Warriors against two individuals,
00:01:38EO and Rhea Ripley, who are still having a powwow as the bell was ringing,
00:01:43trying to figure out who was starting the match.
00:01:44You know, I asked EO Sky yesterday if she could put all these feelings aside
00:01:48and actually fight her once former best friends.
00:01:51And she unequivocally said, of course I can.
00:01:54And now the fight is underway.
00:01:55Ripley back into the ring.
00:01:56I'll tell you right now, I don't care how good a friend you are with anyone in this industry,
00:02:00when that bell rings, you better be ready to fight
00:02:03or you're in serious jeopardy of going straight to the hospital.
00:02:09Rhea Ripley, who knocked off Asuka in action a couple of weeks ago.
00:02:13Oh, my God.
00:02:14Driven headfirst into the post.
00:02:16Well, a smart move by Asuka there.
00:02:19And Kyrie Saints taking a dip out of the ring in the meantime.
00:02:22And now here we go.
00:02:24Asuka and EO Sky grew up together in the Japanese system.
00:02:29Former tag team in a group called Triple Tales.
00:02:33Becoming the best of friends as they came to WWE NXT in the United States.
00:02:43And now opponents tonight.
00:02:45Loyalty and respect, a huge in Japanese wrestling culture.
00:02:50Almost a maternal relationship between Asuka and her protege, EO.
00:02:55Well, that's all out the window here.
00:02:57You have a high-octane offense of the genius of the sky, EO Sky.
00:03:02And I unabashedly say, Wade, I believe she's the greatest wrestler on the planet today.
00:03:06I'm certainly not going to argue with her.
00:03:08However, the mentor, Asuka, probably knows a few tricks that she never taught EO.
00:03:13Yeah, the empress of tomorrow, Asuka, in that conversation as well.
00:03:18Greatest NXT women's champion of all time.
00:03:22EO really is a woman who was at the peak of her powers this year.
00:03:25Not long removed from being world champion.
00:03:28And he lost it through Money in the Bank cash-in.
00:03:31Yeah, between the two in the ring, five world championships combined.
00:03:35Both have been NXT title holders as well.
00:03:40Now EO and Asuka, which classic match-up no matter how you look at it.
00:03:46Asuka, there's the quickness.
00:03:50These two know each of the strengths and weaknesses so well.
00:03:53Oh, EO Sky with a dropkick to Asuka.
00:03:56The ability to second-guess what their opponent is going to do.
00:03:59Don't forget, this is a tag match as much as it seems to have turned into a one-on-one for the time being.
00:04:07EO Sky looking to teach Asuka perhaps a lesson in respect.
00:04:17And Asuka rolls out of harm's way.
00:04:20Great move by the veteran.
00:04:21Apparently now in the ring, she had to.
00:04:22She was under a floor.
00:04:23EO Suicide dive!
00:04:25And it's never felt more suicidal than when EO Sky does it so reckless with her own body.
00:04:33And Kairi Sane tried to help Asuka out, ran into her right hand.
00:04:37But that distraction allows Asuka to take over.
00:04:39And that kick, did you hear that?
00:04:42Well, that head straight into the steel was exactly what took down Rhea Ripley.
00:04:46And we've not seen her six.
00:04:47And now it looks like it's flatlined EO Sky.
00:04:51Look at this dive from EO.
00:04:53Always looks completely reckless.
00:04:55But it's always so effective.
00:04:58And now finally, Rhea Ripley has been stirring.
00:05:01Battle was rung a few moments ago.
00:05:04Her battle was rung, I should say.
00:05:05Not the match battle.
00:05:07But now it's EO Sky who is the legal one for that team.
00:05:11And she's in trouble.
00:05:12She hit the postcard.
00:05:13And a big kick by Asuka.
00:05:20EO trying to drag herself back into the ring.
00:05:23Count of five now by the official Jessica Carr.
00:05:26Fast count Carr, as she's known.
00:05:28That's actually the nickname you gave her.
00:05:30It's true.
00:05:31She is a fast count.
00:05:32EO's in trouble.
00:05:33EO, you're at eight now.
00:05:34EO, you're at eight.
00:05:35And she just beats the count back into the ring.
00:05:40Wanting to stay down there, EO, and just take the loss.
00:05:47And this is the pace you want now, if you're the Kabuki Warriors.
00:05:50Well, you've got a wounded EO Sky who has had the stuff he knocked out of her.
00:05:54Is not moving well at all.
00:05:55Is looking defenseless.
00:05:56Yeah, you can slow this down to whatever pace you want.
00:06:00EO simply isn't capable of fighting back.
00:06:06Torturous hold here from Kairi Sane.
00:06:08Just pick your shot right now.
00:06:11All the time in the world to abuse the body of EO Sky.
00:06:15And Kairi off the top rope.
00:06:17Oh, and there's that flying forearm.
00:06:19Cover now.
00:06:20Stacks up EO for the win.
00:06:21And a kick out by EO Sky.
00:06:23Kairi might have hit EO a little too hard out there.
00:06:26Almost bounced all the way across the ring.
00:06:28And within the range of Rhea Ripley.
00:06:31The one thing that I will give Asuka credit for when it comes to Kairi Sane.
00:06:34And she's brought off the aggression in Kairi.
00:06:38Well, it took long enough.
00:06:39Kairi Sane was almost hesitant to strike EO Sky a couple of weeks ago.
00:06:44And I guess she's bought into the propaganda.
00:06:46I guess she's been brainwashed by Asuka.
00:06:49You see the way that she's assaulted EO Sky in this matchup tonight.
00:06:52Well, Kairi's not an ingrate like EO Sky.
00:06:55Kairi appreciates what Asuka has done for her career.
00:06:58She shows loyalty to Asuka.
00:07:01To her mentor.
00:07:02To the woman who brought her all the way to the top here in WWE.
00:07:05Well, if I'm EO Sky, I'd go it alone.
00:07:07She's had a lot of success that way.
00:07:08As Asuka now just having her way with Sky continues to punish EO.
00:07:15How's that success going for you now, EO Sky?
00:07:17And now Asuka just mouthing off to Rhea Ripley.
00:07:20Her attitude is incredible.
00:07:23Respect to me!
00:07:25Respect to me!
00:07:28I understood what they were saying tonight.
00:07:43Unlike last night.
00:07:45Oh, and a kick by Asuka to the spine.
00:07:46Don't give me the mic.
00:07:47I'm not repeating that one.
00:07:49And Asuka again.
00:07:50And look at Asuka go.
00:07:54Well precision strikes by the Empress of Tomorrow.
00:07:58And right now it looks like a...
00:07:59And a cheap shot by Kairi.
00:08:01It looks like a mentor against a rookie in there.
00:08:05And that is how easy it has been for the Kabuki Warriors
00:08:08since they took the upper hand against EO Sky.
00:08:11And it really was that head shot against the steel post of Sky
00:08:15that has completely taken the wind out of the save.
00:08:17Asuka is so smug.
00:08:20And EO trying to fight back.
00:08:23Trying to get to make a tag to Rhea Ripley.
00:08:25If that tag's made, this place is going to explode.
00:08:27How badly does Rhea Ripley need to get into this match?
00:08:30How badly does EO Sky need to get out of this match?
00:08:34Well, it went a blow to the back of the head.
00:08:36And now just...
00:08:37Look at...
00:08:37Just mocking Ripley.
00:08:39You don't like Asuka, but I find it incredibly entertaining.
00:08:43Brilliant competitor, of course.
00:08:44We both agree on that.
00:08:45I said earlier, I had a very unique perspective
00:08:47when it came to Asuka and Kairi yesterday at the kickoff show.
00:08:51And Asuka missed wildly with a kick.
00:08:52EO trying to make it across the ring.
00:08:54Tag made.
00:08:54Kairi's legal.
00:08:55Can Kairi prevent EO Sky from making the tag?
00:08:58And she does.
00:08:58Nice job, Kairi.
00:09:00Following orders to AT.
00:09:02We are family.
00:09:03No, you're not.
00:09:05Now, Kairi knocking off to Rhea.
00:09:07A little bit of that attitude.
00:09:08We are family.
00:09:09That's what Kairi is saying to Rhea Ripley.
00:09:11And you know full well, Kairi would re-embrace EO Sky at a moment's not.
00:09:16EO has to make that decision for herself.
00:09:19Kairi went for a cheap shot.
00:09:20Rhea Ripley drawn into the ring.
00:09:22Wise move by Kairi Sands because it's going to allow the double team.
00:09:28Rhea Ripley is causing this beatdown of EO Sky.
00:09:32She's becoming completely unhinged in the corner.
00:09:35I told you, Rhea felt guilty last week when EO got misted on Raw.
00:09:39She wasn't there because she was in Australia taking care of her personal and business issues.
00:09:45And again, you heard the We Are family before it played that Asuka and Kairi blamed Rhea Ripley for EO Sky.
00:09:56Leaving the nest, so to speak.
00:09:58And EO trying to fight back now.
00:10:00Look at EO go.
00:10:01As tough as they come.
00:10:02Hardest shots you will not see in a wrestling ring.
00:10:05Oh, my God.
00:10:07Backhand.
00:10:07Oh, what a backhand.
00:10:09And a kick by Asuka.
00:10:10How is EO still standing?
00:10:12No idea.
00:10:13They were like four KO blows in a row.
00:10:17EO's ate them all.
00:10:18I don't think she knows where the hell she's at.
00:10:20That's probably a good thing.
00:10:22She's going to find out real quickly that Kairi Sands is legal.
00:10:29Oh, goodness.
00:10:30EO Sky's done.
00:10:32Cover by Sands.
00:10:34Hooks the leg.
00:10:35And a kick out.
00:10:35But that was a great cover by Kairi.
00:10:38To grab the leg closest to the rope.
00:10:40Coursing Sky to expend energy by kicking out.
00:10:43So it's ridiculous.
00:10:45Every single shot that the Kabuki Warriors are throwing at the body of EO Sky.
00:10:51What an absolute mugging this has turned into.
00:10:54And Rhea Ripley in the corner.
00:10:56Probably feeling fresh as a daisy.
00:10:58Yeah, but the anxiety setting in for Rhea.
00:11:01She understands this is a critical moment that her friend EO's in trouble.
00:11:07And this audience here came here expecting the Rhea Ripley show.
00:11:13She's not gone that way at all.
00:11:15Far from it.
00:11:16It has been all the empress of tomorrow and her tag team partner Kairi Sands.
00:11:21Showing you why they've been multiple-time world tag champions.
00:11:26Got so much hatred here.
00:11:28But somehow weathering the storm as EO's going.
00:11:31Oh, my God.
00:11:32EO's.
00:11:33EO's switching gears.
00:11:39Oh.
00:11:41I don't know if they're talking about this baby.
00:11:43More angry.
00:11:47I'm so glad I'm retired.
00:11:49EO with Oscar.
00:11:53Face down goes Oscar.
00:11:55EO with an opportunity.
00:11:57That was a wide move from EO Sky.
00:11:59It was a strike fest.
00:12:01Knocking lumps out of each other.
00:12:02Pull out a flapjack.
00:12:04Unexpectedly.
00:12:06And brought yourself a chance to crawl and escape from this.
00:12:11And blow the roof off this place.
00:12:13Here comes Rhea Ripley.
00:12:17The eradicator.
00:12:18Down goes Kairi.
00:12:27Oscar runs into a drop kick.
00:12:29Most physically dominant woman this industry has ever seen.
00:12:34What about the power?
00:12:37This is Rhea Ripley.
00:12:38Cover.
00:12:41Kairi able to kick out.
00:12:42Remembering being missed it and beaten down by the Kabuki world
00:12:46is a couple of weeks ago.
00:12:47Check this kick out.
00:12:49Boom.
00:12:49Ouch.
00:12:52One of the Matildas players putting that ball in the back of the net.
00:12:56However, it was the score.
00:12:57Of Kairi Sane, it's football or soccer over here.
00:13:01Oh, now looking for the razor's edge and Kairi Sane being able to work out of that maneuver.
00:13:08Kairi Sane has been absolutely vicious tonight and I'm loving it.
00:13:11Yeah, it's been a new look Kairi Sane tonight.
00:13:13I think Asuka finally, I think Kairi Sane basically said,
00:13:18I just got to deal with Asuka and do what she tells me and it's been effective.
00:13:23Try and match the kind of abuse that Asuka regularly throws at her opponents
00:13:27and Kairi has done a sterling job this evening.
00:13:30They've now neutralized Rhea Ripley.
00:13:34Covered out by Asuka.
00:13:36A shining wizard and a kick out by Rhea Ripley.
00:13:39It's Kinshasa-esque.
00:13:43Shinsuke Nakamura type shot there to the jaw of Ripley.
00:13:46Yeah, we saw the return of Shinsuke on Friday night's SmackDown last night.
00:13:51And now Kairi Sane up to the top rope.
00:13:55Rhea with a clothesline.
00:13:56And now Kairi, nobody home, went for that flying forearm.
00:13:59And Rhea, what a kick!
00:14:01She about to capitate at Kairi.
00:14:03Man, these women are going bananas in this ring tonight.
00:14:07Just the heaviness of hitters.
00:14:10And now Io Sky back in the fight.
00:14:14Rhea with a razor's edge.
00:14:16Oh, what a high landing on the back of the neck of Kairi Sane.
00:14:20And Io Sky, the genius of the sky.
00:14:24Missile dropkick.
00:14:29Cover for Io.
00:14:30One, two, three.
00:14:32Somehow, Kairi survives.
00:14:35Yeah, I've no idea how Kairi saved King down in this.
00:14:39A little tribute to the Terra Twins.
00:14:41Damian Priest followed up by this shot from Kairi.
00:14:46From, excuse me, Io Sky.
00:14:48I mean, how tough are these four women?
00:14:52How hard-wearing have they had to be?
00:14:55As physical as it comes, Io Sky not going to allow Kairi to make the tag as she shook her head.
00:15:02And Asuka, Kairi able to counter.
00:15:07And now Sane with an Alabama slam.
00:15:16And Kairi with a cheap shot to Ripley.
00:15:19It's not a smart thing as you can do.
00:15:20You might not like it, but get Ripley down now.
00:15:23Io Sky, even if she gets to the corner, there's no one there to save you, Io.
00:15:27Io back to her feet.
00:15:29And it looked like that Kairi was setting up for the insane elbow.
00:15:32It's a deep arm drag from off the ropes for Sky.
00:15:37And Io's going to go up top.
00:15:43He was looking for over-the-moonsault before Asuka provided the distraction.
00:15:47And Kairi Sane takes control.
00:15:49And Io just bounced off the top of that ring post.
00:15:53Nothing the referee can do.
00:15:55Asuka did not touch Io.
00:15:56Now ducked out of the way.
00:15:58Now goading Rhea Ripley.
00:16:01Baseball slide.
00:16:02Drops Rhea to the floor.
00:16:03Again, what a master plan by the Kabuki Warriors.
00:16:06Just baiting Rhea Ripley in and pouncing.
00:16:09Disabling.
00:16:10Oh, into the steps.
00:16:11Powerhouse Australian.
00:16:13And again, the Kabuki Warriors wave have had an answer for everything.
00:16:16They have dominated this match since the get-go.
00:16:19Well, that's how you win tag team matchups.
00:16:21You get on the same page.
00:16:22You build chemistry.
00:16:23And yeah, you can put it down good individuals, too.
00:16:26But that's the difference.
00:16:27Io Sky.
00:16:28Oh, here we go.
00:16:29Moon salt.
00:16:30The springboard moonsault from Io.
00:16:34I'm going to say Sky and Rhea Ripley just don't have that same telepathy that the Kabuki Warriors do.
00:16:40But Sky might win this on her own now.
00:16:42Io sending Kairi back into the ring.
00:16:44Kairi rolls toward her corner.
00:16:45Io, Io Sky.
00:16:47Being serenaded by the sold-out crowd here tonight.
00:16:51Io, Io.
00:16:52And there's Io's bullet train attack.
00:16:59As Kyrie where she wants her.
00:17:02Io up to the top rope.
00:17:07Sky with over the moonsault.
00:17:09Here's the cover.
00:17:11One, two, four.
00:17:13Asuka just saving the match.
00:17:15A millisecond away there.
00:17:17Superb timing from Asuka.
00:17:19Will turn a pace right when she needed it.
00:17:23Oh, what a kick by Rhea.
00:17:25Rhea's had enough.
00:17:26She's about to explode.
00:17:28Rhea ain't legal, though.
00:17:29She may be in a second.
00:17:31Referee giving both teams a ton of leeway in this tag team match.
00:17:36Tag made.
00:17:36Rhea now legal.
00:17:37But Ripley now lifting Kairi Sane up.
00:17:43Asuka, though, causes Io to lose her balance and fall in the top turnbuckle.
00:17:48Pulled through by Sane for the win.
00:17:51Rhea kicks it, too.
00:17:52So close there.
00:17:54Oh, what a headbutt.
00:17:59And Rhea looking for a little riptide.
00:18:04But Kairi tag made by Asuka.
00:18:07One move you want to avoid it is that riptide.
00:18:10And Kairi did a great job of wriggling out of there.
00:18:12Got to drop with that spinning back fist.
00:18:15And then a big kick by Asuka.
00:18:19Asuka has re-in position.
00:18:21Kairi Sane from the top rope.
00:18:23This double team several times recently.
00:18:25And the insane elbow to Ripley.
00:18:27Asuka under the cover.
00:18:31And this time it's Io Sky saving the matchup.
00:18:35Well, both teams have been a millisecond away from victory here.
00:18:40Only for the Palma to save the day.
00:18:43But all four women barely able to move at this point.
00:18:48Fighting on fumes.
00:18:50Kairi with a step up in Zaguri.
00:18:52Stuns Io Sky.
00:18:54Rhea back to her feet with a kick of her own.
00:18:56And now Asuka.
00:19:00Io Sky off the top rope.
00:19:01Right in the jaw.
00:19:03Right to the face.
00:19:06You try and position yourself when someone's flying at you.
00:19:09Try and catch it on the chest at least.
00:19:11Asuka just did not get the chance.
00:19:13Take another look at the impact here.
00:19:16Look where the feet go.
00:19:17Right on the kisser.
00:19:19Oh, goodness.
00:19:20There you go, Mentor.
00:19:21Well, thanks for everything.
00:19:24Gotta say, Asuka had that coming.
00:19:32Asuka.
00:19:34Rhea Ripley.
00:19:35Face to face.
00:19:37These four women are going to need a month off after this match.
00:19:40It's so vicious.
00:19:41Two women in the ring that have dominated the women's division for many years here in WWE.
00:19:46Asuka.
00:19:47Rhea exchanging blows.
00:19:48Two, two, three.
00:19:51And it's Asuka now with a backslide.
00:19:57Shoulders down.
00:19:58Rhea able to kick out.
00:19:59This is Wildey with a kick.
00:20:00Rhea caught her.
00:20:01Oh, what for the boot of her own.
00:20:02Asuka with a great block that time.
00:20:05Rhea with a kick to the face.
00:20:07Drives Asuka to the corner.
00:20:10Durability of Asuka.
00:20:11It's taken a real beating in these last few minutes.
00:20:13And this.
00:20:13Oh.
00:20:16Face first off the turnbuckle.
00:20:18And Rhea's feeling it.
00:20:20Shrugging off all that pain and exhaustion.
00:20:24Tapping into that anger.
00:20:25And looking for catharsis.
00:20:29And now Rhea Ripley going to drag Asuka up.
00:20:31Headbutt now.
00:20:32Delivered to the Empress of Tomorrow.
00:20:34Rhea looking to hook Asuka.
00:20:36Perhaps for a big avalanche riptide here, Wade.
00:20:38One way to finish things for Kairi.
00:20:41Kairi Sane just tagged herself in.
00:20:44Wise move by Kairi.
00:20:46Rhea was going to hit the avalanche riptide.
00:20:48And Kairi Sane just ran into a big boot by Ripley.
00:20:52Well, what loyalty from Kairi Sane shoving Asuka out the way.
00:20:56And eating the bullet herself.
00:20:58And oh, God, Cole.
00:21:00She may live to regret that selfless act.
00:21:02Rhea Ripley with a riptide.
00:21:08Tag made by EO Sky.
00:21:13Top rope.
00:21:14EO.
00:21:15Over the moveset.
00:21:17Cover.
00:21:18One.
00:21:19Two.
00:21:19In the way.
00:21:20Here are your winners, the team of Rhea Ripley and EO Sky.
00:21:34Wade, you know what they say.
00:21:36Blind faith in your leaders will get you killed.
00:21:40And Kairi Sane just got destroyed here tonight.
00:21:45Well, this is the save by Kairi Sane shoving Asuka out the way.
00:21:49Asuka's been down since.
00:21:51Asuka was about to be down and out.
00:21:53Kairi saved the day for her.
00:21:55But ended up eating this double whammy.
00:21:58The riptide.
00:22:00Followed by the over-the-moon salt.
00:22:02And how good must that have felt for EO Sky?
00:22:06Delivering the death now to the Kabuki Warriors tonight.
00:22:10Tight hook pin.
00:22:11Never in doubt.
00:22:14And Rhea Ripley celebrates the tag team victory.
00:22:17In front of her hometown, her home country in Australia.
00:22:29Well, Wade, take a quick break now for a programming note.
00:22:32Of course, Monday Night Raw will be here live in Perth this coming Monday.
00:22:37Special start times.
00:22:38It's 8 p.m. here local on Netflix.
00:22:41But in the United States, it's 8 a.m. in the morning Monday.
00:22:455 a.m. on the West Coast.
00:22:46That's Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
00:22:49You look at the Intercontinental title match.
00:22:51Dirty Dom and Penta.
00:22:52What a massive matchup against two great luchadors.
00:22:58And also this great tag team match.
00:23:00Bayley and Lyra Valkyrie have had countless problems with the Judgment Day of late.
00:23:06Well, they go head-to-head two-on-two this Monday live on Raw from Perth.
00:23:12Well, last year, Cody Rhodes won that title and became the inaugural Crown Jewel Champion.
00:23:21Tonight, he looks to go back-to-back.
00:23:24But the World Heavyweight Champion from Monday Night Raw, who is in a must-win situation,
00:23:29with all the pressure on his shoulders, Seth Rollins stands in his way.
00:23:33We both had some hoops to jump through to get to this point.
00:23:43You changed my life.
00:23:44The prodigal son has returned.
00:23:49Cody Rhodes has defeated Seth Rollins.
00:23:54You changed my life.
00:23:56Battered, bruised.
00:23:58Cody Rhodes defeats Seth Rollins inside Hell in a Cell.
00:24:02You changed my career.
00:24:05You were the shield for me.
00:24:07Cody Rhodes is champion.
00:24:10But here we are.
00:24:12Crown Jewel Championship.
00:24:15The undisputed WWE Champion against the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:24:21The winner of that match may decide the future of this entire industry.
00:24:29I have done everything right.
00:24:32I have taken two young men under my wing.
00:24:38I am the one to lead this industry into the future.
00:24:43You talk of the future, but all I see is you cribbing plays from the past.
00:24:51Surround yourself with some muscle and act like you are better than everyone else.
00:24:55But if you want to live in the past, that's fine by me.
00:25:00Because the scoreboard back there still reads 3-0.
00:25:05At Crown Jewel, I'm going to cleanse the timeline.
00:25:09And you will find out what happens to those who stand between me and fulfilling my vision.
00:25:17Don't do it.
00:25:18He's in your head.
00:25:19Don't do this.
00:25:22What happens if I lose?
00:25:24You throw away everything that we've built since Wrestlemania.
00:25:31You lose the faith of Braun Breaker and Bronson Reed.
00:25:35And you become nothing more in history than a de facto secondary champion.
00:25:46I have to win.
00:25:49At Crown Jewel, bring everything you have.
00:25:52And you'll find out it's still not enough to beat me.
00:25:55Two of the best in the world in their prime.
00:26:01Champion versus champion.
00:26:03May the best man win.
00:26:10We are moments away, ladies and gentlemen, from our main event.
00:26:13It is the crown, the new men's Crown Jewel champion.
00:26:16Will it be the undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes?
00:26:20Or will it be the world heavyweight champion Seth freaking Rollins?

00:29:36ripping the heart

00:30:17Thank you
00:30:47The best thing has more than one royal family.
00:31:18Crying tears about the flow.
00:31:21Made for me to start the show.
00:31:24Out of time, the lights are on my phone.
00:31:31My mom was dead.
00:31:34When I was younger.
00:31:37My time was recently.
00:31:42You took it all away.
00:31:46You took my freedom.
00:31:48You didn't say the game.
00:31:50I'm better than the time.
00:31:52I've got my kingdom.
00:31:54I've got my kingdom.
00:31:55I've got my kingdom.
00:31:56I've got my kingdom.
00:31:58I've got my kingdom.
00:32:00You won't follow me to the end.
00:32:04I have my kingdom.
00:32:06My lights go down.
00:32:07I'm ready now.
00:32:09Tell this roof I'm falling.
00:32:12I've got my kingdom.
00:32:14I've got my kingdom.
00:32:16I've got my kingdom.
00:32:18I've got my kingdom.
00:32:20That is the crown jewel championship ring.
00:32:22That Cody Rhodes is sporting.
00:32:24Of course, he is the inaugural crown jewel champion.
00:32:26The crown jewel champion.
00:32:29The crown jewel
00:32:31My mom was dead
00:32:34When I was younger
00:32:37I don't remember me
00:32:41You took it all away, I gave it all away
00:32:46To take my freedom
00:32:48You didn't change the game, I better made a break
00:32:52I built my kingdom
00:32:54Now you bound to me
00:32:57My dreams are not my game
00:33:00You'll follow me until the end
00:33:04I am my kingdom
00:33:06You tried to tell me what to do
00:33:10You tried to tell me what to do
00:33:12I'll step right over and right through
00:33:16Let's head up to the ring and Alicia Taylor
00:33:19Introducing first
00:33:26From Davenport, Iowa
00:33:30Weighing in at 225 pounds
00:33:37He is the world heavyweight champion
00:33:43Seth freaking Rollins
00:33:50And his opponent
00:34:09From Atlanta, Georgia
00:34:14Weighing in at 222 pounds
00:34:21He is the undisputed WWE champion
00:34:29The American nightmare
00:34:33Cody Rhodes
00:34:37The man who is known as quarterback one
00:34:43Who wants to do for WWE over the last next two decades
00:34:47What John Cena did the past two decades
00:34:50Lead this company into the future
00:34:53For Seth Rollins
00:35:04What he has built over the past year
00:35:06Is at stake
00:35:07His vision is at stake
00:35:10In a must win situation
00:35:12Earlier tonight
00:35:13Bronson Reed and Braun Breaker
00:35:15Destroyed Roman Reigns
00:35:17Reed pinning Reigns
00:35:19And in fact
00:35:20Perhaps destroying the bloodline
00:35:23If Rollins loses tonight
00:35:25What does that do for Braun and Bronson
00:35:28As they look to this man for leadership
00:35:30Will the vision disintegrate
00:35:32Before our very eyes
00:35:33I know Seth hasn't talked to many people
00:35:50Wade over the past couple of weeks
00:35:52But he did tell me
00:35:55Heading into this matchup
00:35:57That his gear was going to
00:35:58To be bits of gear that he wore
00:36:02In his matches against Cody Rhodes
00:36:05Over the past number of years
00:36:07And then of course the watch
00:36:09Of Seth Rollins
00:36:11Those polka dots
00:36:16We've seen those before
00:36:17It was from the Hell in a Cell match
00:36:19Between them
00:36:20These are the ghosts of Seth's past with Cody
00:36:24A reminder of the demons
00:36:25He is trying to exercise tonight
00:36:28And now Rollins and Cody Rhodes
00:36:30Start this matchup off
00:36:32And very aggressive
00:36:32Rollins in the early going
00:36:34One
00:36:34Two
00:36:35Give me a break
00:36:36Three
00:36:37Listen to me
00:36:37Hey
00:36:38That's what
00:36:38He's fired up for this one
00:36:41Laser focused
00:36:43And if
00:36:44You aren't laser focused
00:36:46When you've got so much in your mind
00:36:48You are in danger of unraveling
00:36:50There's a couple of times
00:36:53In the early goings here
00:36:54Seth has over committed
00:36:55And it hasn't worked out
00:36:57Wait there's just some point in your career
00:36:59That there's someone who has your number
00:37:01Right
00:37:01I mean that you're just not
00:37:02Everyone have my number
00:37:03That you're just not going to be able to beat
00:37:05But I
00:37:06I agree
00:37:07But that's
00:37:07Seth Rollins
00:37:08That isn't the case
00:37:09And that's the big issue
00:37:10Because the only person
00:37:12That's ever been the case with
00:37:13Is Cody Rhodes
00:37:14This is the Achilles heel
00:37:16And that's why Seth has taken that so badly
00:37:18Seth sees himself as
00:37:20On a bash
00:37:21Number one
00:37:22And again
00:37:23Cody just turned around
00:37:25And when Seth Rollins
00:37:28Looked like he was breaking up some momentum
00:37:30Took it away from him
00:37:31Cody now vertical suplex
00:37:33Oh to Rollins
00:37:34Face first
00:37:34Goes Seth
00:37:36And Cody is fired up
00:37:37Again this is for the bragging rights
00:37:39As Rollins gets upset with the official
00:37:41Well Rollins is upset with himself
00:37:43More than the official
00:37:45He's yelling at the official perhaps
00:37:47But he knows he's beating himself
00:37:49In the early goings here
00:37:50Sean Bennett working this matchup
00:37:52And now listen to this jab
00:37:53They're getting in the head of Seth too
00:37:55It's all conspiring
00:37:56To pull
00:37:58The visionary himself
00:38:00Downwards tonight
00:38:01Yeah but if Rollins is going to be
00:38:02Considered an all time great
00:38:03He's got to focus
00:38:04These are the matchup teams
00:38:05To focus in
00:38:06He can't allow the WWE fans
00:38:08To get in his head
00:38:08He can't worry about
00:38:09What Paul Heyman's thinking
00:38:10And what Braun and Bronson are thinking
00:38:11He's got to take care of business tonight
00:38:13And knock off the one man
00:38:15He's never been able to beat
00:38:16Well Seth's issue
00:38:17I mean this just
00:38:31Does not all go well
00:38:33Whatsoever
00:38:34For Seth Rollins
00:38:35Who's completely losing his mind
00:38:38In the early goings
00:38:39You can see
00:38:39How much Cody
00:38:41Is getting into the head
00:38:42Of Seth Rollins
00:38:44Cody playing the game right
00:38:45Taking what Rollins
00:38:48Is giving him here
00:38:49Seth really needs to lock in
00:38:54Or this is going to go south
00:38:55In a hurry
00:38:56And I think that little walk
00:38:58Around the outside of the ring
00:38:59Once he's blocked out
00:39:00The audience
00:39:01Probably did the world
00:39:02Of good for Seth Rollins
00:39:15Let's just do this
00:39:21Let's just do it
00:39:24Rollins
00:39:26Turn around to a cheap shot
00:39:28He runs into a forearm of Rhodes
00:39:29Cody you just want to fight
00:39:31While Cody's always getting for a fight
00:39:33Rollins with a kick
00:39:37Rollins with a stop
00:39:42Now looking for a pedigree
00:39:45Cody able to duck out of it
00:39:46Oh and a big right hand
00:39:47To Rollins
00:39:48This is going horribly
00:39:49And now Cody Rhodes
00:39:50Set Seth Rollins
00:39:51Over the top
00:39:53I'll tell you right now
00:39:54Seth Rollins
00:39:55Every single time
00:39:56You see him in that ring
00:39:57He is the picture
00:39:59Of ice cold pool
00:40:01Tonight he has not been the case at all
00:40:03I mean right from the early goings
00:40:05He's trying to drop
00:40:06The big locks
00:40:07That is not how Seth Rollins
00:40:10He still would have fit
00:40:11I mean he's going for a stomp
00:40:14Right at the early goings
00:40:15He's going for a pedigree
00:40:16At the early goings
00:40:18Seth Rollins is unraveling
00:40:20Before our eyes
00:40:21And this is how you lose a match
00:40:22For somebody like Cody Rhodes
00:40:24And this is perhaps
00:40:25Why the Achilles heel
00:40:27That is Cody Rhodes
00:40:28Has been such a big problem
00:40:30In Saturday
00:40:30This is on you
00:40:32You thinking
00:40:33You think Seth
00:40:35Seth just relax now
00:40:37Just relax
00:40:38Relax
00:40:40Somebody with a ball to this thing
00:40:42Come on now
00:40:43You okay?
00:40:49I'm good Cody
00:40:49Yeah
00:40:50We'll take care of him
00:40:52Uh oh
00:40:54Cody Rhodes
00:40:55Sending the table
00:40:56Flying
00:40:57Seth Rollins in trouble here
00:40:59And Rollins though
00:41:02Took advantage
00:41:03And now he drives
00:41:05Rhodes into the steel steps
00:41:06And now Rollins
00:41:11Driving Cody Rhodes
00:41:13Into the announce table
00:41:14And Rollins who's completely
00:41:16Unhinged here tonight
00:41:17Is trying to turn this
00:41:19Into his favor
00:41:20An emotional set Rollins
00:41:22He seems to be turning it around
00:41:24Now finally
00:41:25And the players
00:41:25Is getting absolutely trash
00:41:27Referee giving a long count
00:41:29To everybody here
00:41:30Seth Rollins now
00:41:31On the barricade
00:41:33Rhodes is in deep trouble
00:41:34Doesn't want to be in that spot
00:41:35Wade
00:41:35Seth Rollins
00:41:37The shoulders of Rhodes
00:41:40Driving him to the floor
00:41:41Don't forget that
00:41:43Cody has had major
00:41:44Shoulder issues before
00:41:45Related to that
00:41:46Peck tear
00:41:47He's suffered in there
00:41:48And a cover now
00:41:50By Rollins
00:41:50And a kick out
00:41:51Hell in a cell match
00:41:52Rollins is just
00:41:56He's acting desperately
00:41:57As what he's doing here
00:41:58In this matchup
00:42:00Cover
00:42:00Off the suplex to Rhodes
00:42:01And a kick out by Cody
00:42:03Well I'd argue that
00:42:03That desperation
00:42:04Has finally started to
00:42:06Pay off for Seth Rollins
00:42:07Who went horribly wrong
00:42:08In the early goings
00:42:09And I don't know
00:42:09What the hell
00:42:10That was about with us two
00:42:11Well he lost control
00:42:12Well finally he's locked back in
00:42:13And he's got control
00:42:14Of the match
00:42:15Which is really the
00:42:16Entire point of tonight
00:42:17For Seth
00:42:18And Cody fighting back
00:42:19The point is
00:42:20For 15 years
00:42:21Seth Rollins has made a career
00:42:22Of being in control
00:42:23The things that he has done
00:42:25To better his career
00:42:26And better himself
00:42:27Is because he's in control
00:42:28Of the situation
00:42:29Cover now
00:42:30By Rollins
00:42:30Is it enough
00:42:31Cody's got to kick out at two
00:42:32Well somehow
00:42:33Inadvertently
00:42:34He's managed to get
00:42:35In control
00:42:36Of the situation tonight
00:42:37And is looking back
00:42:39To be a dominant
00:42:40Once again
00:42:41Yeah but
00:42:42But wait
00:42:42Can he finish
00:42:43The job here tonight
00:42:45Can he finally beat Rhodes
00:42:46History would suggest
00:42:48No
00:42:49Based on the track record
00:42:50Between these two
00:42:51However
00:42:51The future demands
00:42:53That yes
00:42:54He has to finish this
00:42:55Rollins kick to the midsection
00:42:56Trying to hook Cody again
00:42:58And Cody Rhodes
00:42:59Able to turn it around
00:43:00Looking for the figure four
00:43:01And Seth Rollins counters
00:43:03And now Rollins
00:43:05Kick again
00:43:06Cody will land on his feet
00:43:10And Seth Rollins
00:43:12Here's the cover
00:43:13Here's the cover
00:43:15And a kick out by Cody
00:43:17God that was the absolute best
00:43:19Of Seth Rollins right there
00:43:20And this is now
00:43:21The absolute worst
00:43:22Of this version of Seth
00:43:24It looked like Cody was going to go
00:43:25For the disaster kick here
00:43:26Yeah he was
00:43:27And Seth Rollins is right there
00:43:28And he turned it into that
00:43:29Sit out power bomb
00:43:29Well not only do you have to have
00:43:31Amazing reflexes
00:43:32But incredible technique there
00:43:33Seth Rollins really does
00:43:35Have it all
00:43:36Apart from his faculties right now
00:43:38As he's continuing to scream
00:43:40At the referee
00:43:40Which is late
00:43:41It's why I find it odd
00:43:42Seth Rollins with moves like that
00:43:44Has proven
00:43:45He is among the best
00:43:46On the entire planet
00:43:48He's a six time
00:43:49World champion
00:43:50But he's just let Rhodes
00:43:52Get into his head
00:43:52He's been eaten up with ego
00:43:54Over the fact that he can't be Cody
00:43:55I wouldn't say it's ego
00:43:57It's his entire future
00:43:59He needs to keep Paul Heyman on side
00:44:01He needs to keep the vision on side
00:44:03He needs to remain the leader
00:44:04Of this industry
00:44:06It's far bigger than just simple ego
00:44:09It's ego
00:44:09His entire career has been ego
00:44:11His entire career has been about
00:44:13Nobody but himself
00:44:14It's been all about Seth Rollins
00:44:16Primary motivation of Seth Rollins
00:44:18Has always been the advancement
00:44:20Of this industry
00:44:21So on day one
00:44:23He's taken this industry
00:44:24And he can only do that
00:44:27If he's leading from the very front
00:44:29He wants to be the guy
00:44:31He wants to be QB1
00:44:33The problem is
00:44:34Somebody else currently
00:44:35Is in that role
00:44:36Well then act like it
00:44:37How about that
00:44:37You act like that
00:44:39By beating the guy
00:44:40Who is in the role of QB1
00:44:42Let the world know Seth
00:44:44Cody trying to
00:44:45Drag himself back in
00:44:46And he's hurting
00:44:48Rollins
00:44:52As you mentioned before
00:44:53Wait he's starting to settle in now
00:44:55And he's starting to believe
00:44:57A little bit more
00:44:58I'll tell you right now
00:44:59Some guys
00:45:00And Seth isn't usually like that
00:45:02Are slow starters in matches
00:45:03I always was in my career
00:45:04I needed to be kicked around
00:45:05For a few minutes
00:45:06Before I really slotted
00:45:08Into game mode
00:45:09And the adrenaline
00:45:10Was running
00:45:11And you feel like Seth
00:45:13Got through that
00:45:14Early ten minutes
00:45:15Of the match
00:45:15He still has an issue
00:45:17With what you're saying here
00:45:18He can't hear what I'm saying
00:45:19I'm saying good things
00:45:20About you Seth
00:45:21They said it Seth
00:45:24Not me
00:45:24That's not my opinion
00:45:25I shouldn't have said that thing
00:45:28Yeah
00:45:29You almost got me beat up
00:45:31Because of your big mouth
00:45:32I'll pick your ass apart
00:45:33Every part of this body bitch
00:45:37I'll lift you up
00:45:39We will Paris
00:45:41We will Paris
00:45:43We will Paris
00:45:46Well you don't get it
00:45:47I promise you that way
00:45:48That's what's good for me
00:45:52And Cody fighting back now
00:45:55Taking the fight to Rollins
00:45:56Dragon screw by Rollins
00:46:03And Cody's all beat up
00:46:05Bad arm
00:46:05Bad leg now
00:46:06And that confidence crisis
00:46:08Of Seth Rollins
00:46:09You just see it dissipating
00:46:11As the seconds tick by
00:46:13The confidence starting to seep
00:46:15Out of these pores
00:46:16And again
00:46:17Talk about overconfidence
00:46:19Now this is ridiculous
00:46:21The man has not beaten Cody Rhodes
00:46:23And now he's screwing around
00:46:24Doing cartwheels in the ring
00:46:26Well that's a little stardust for you
00:46:28Isn't it
00:46:28Let's
00:46:28Two can play at the mind games
00:46:30You know
00:46:30Let me get into your head
00:46:31Remember who you really are Cody
00:46:33You're not QB1
00:46:34You're stardust
00:46:36Now again
00:46:36Concentrate on beating the man
00:46:38Finally
00:46:38Then you can do all the cartwheels you want
00:46:40You can even paint your face gray
00:46:41If you want
00:46:41And again
00:46:47You know what he's doing there
00:46:49His dad
00:46:50The late great
00:46:51American dream
00:46:52Dusty Rhodes
00:46:53And Cody fighting back though
00:46:54Pushed the wrong button on that one
00:46:56Didn't you Seth
00:46:57Uh oh and Rollins take down
00:46:58And now Seth looking for a figure four
00:47:01And Rollins trying to lock it in
00:47:04Center of the ring
00:47:05And now Cody's in trouble
00:47:06Still in one of Cody's own moves there
00:47:09Again the mind games
00:47:11And the physical torture continue
00:47:13Again if Cody Rhodes
00:47:16Cody doesn't have any quit in him
00:47:25Trying to roll under his belly
00:47:27And reverse the leverage here
00:47:28Reverse the pressure
00:47:30Rollins
00:47:36Brings him right back to the middle of the ring
00:47:38And Cody's in trouble here
00:47:39Here's the issue
00:47:40Cody
00:47:41Shoulders down
00:47:42A lot of energy
00:47:43Trying to reverse that pressure
00:47:44Didn't work
00:47:45And now Cody Rhodes has control
00:48:03And Rollins is in pain
00:48:05And Seth needs to make it to the rope for a break
00:48:07Again Rollins feeling the effect of that
00:48:18Reversal on the figure four
00:48:20That's one way to get into Rollins skin
00:48:26I mean they've done it nonstop since the second
00:48:28Seth Rollins walked out here
00:48:30Seth Rollins against everybody at the moment
00:48:33And it's not working out too well for Seth
00:48:36Even match up so far
00:48:49Cody
00:48:50Big right hand
00:48:53Oh no Seth still holding on
00:48:55Oh and hanging up Cody on the top rope
00:48:57Seth Rollins at his best
00:48:59He's just a little bit quicker than Cody Rhodes
00:49:02Always has been a freakish mover
00:49:04Has Seth Rollins
00:49:05Right now
00:49:06Cody cooking up something here
00:49:08Cody's got Rollins in all kinds of trouble here
00:49:18Oh goodness
00:49:21Both men down
00:49:25Roberta breaker action here
00:49:32Shout out
00:49:32Shane Helms
00:49:34Cody has so much taken out of it
00:49:37Did not follow it up with a pin
00:49:39This is for the crown jewel championship
00:49:44Cody Rhodes the inaugural crown jewel champion
00:49:48Madeline Seth Rollins here tonight
00:49:50Champion versus champion
00:49:52Cody blocks
00:50:03Bill's momentum down goes Rollins
00:50:07And there's a power slam
00:50:12And is this where Seth Rollins starts to spiral once again
00:50:16You had your time of dominance
00:50:18It is disaster kick
00:50:19And now Cody in the ascendancy
00:50:22And looking unstoppable
00:50:24Now the left hands
00:50:27The South Park Cody
00:50:28Bionic elbow
00:50:31And Seth driven out of the ring
00:50:35Will spill into the outside
00:50:36Rather fortuitously
00:50:37But there's nowhere to hide here
00:50:39And a suicide dive
00:50:40Driving Rollins into the barricade
00:50:43Cody with all the momentum in the world
00:50:46And it's all again
00:50:50Just going wrong for Seth Rollins
00:50:53Maybe it's too much pressure on his shoulders
00:50:56Too much weight to carry
00:50:59In the vision
00:51:00Vision of the future
00:51:03Starting to slip away
00:51:05Before our eyes
00:51:06Cody now
00:51:07Off the second rope
00:51:09Cody Connor
00:51:09Cover by Rhodes
00:51:11To win the crown jewel championship
00:51:13Rollins gets the shoulder up
00:51:15Another look at this
00:51:22Cody Cutter
00:51:24To win next
00:51:25Seth freaking Rollins
00:51:27A further test
00:51:28Of ambition
00:51:29In this industry
00:51:30Who is the guy
00:51:31Who is the superlative best
00:51:34And if you're a betting man
00:51:35You are betting on QB1 himself
00:51:38Cody dragging himself
00:51:45Back to his feet
00:51:46Has Rollins
00:51:47Where he wants him
00:51:48Looking at Crossroads
00:51:50To put Seth away
00:51:51Seth though
00:51:52Able to roll Cody up
00:51:54Kick out at two
00:51:55Oh and a step up
00:51:58Inziguri
00:51:58Caught Cody
00:51:59Prop down
00:52:02He caught him
00:52:03That was unique
00:52:04Little trick for ya
00:52:05Oh and Rollins
00:52:07Pedigree
00:52:09Seth for the win
00:52:11One
00:52:12Two
00:52:13Cody still in it
00:52:14Well dropping
00:52:15Those heavy bombs
00:52:17Now is Seth
00:52:17He tried right
00:52:18At the beginning
00:52:19Of the match
00:52:19It was way too early
00:52:20But now you've got
00:52:21Your opponent
00:52:21Softened off
00:52:22Nice kick to the gut
00:52:24Following up
00:52:24With that pedigree
00:52:25That is a move
00:52:27That Seth
00:52:27Has won countless
00:52:28Matches with
00:52:29It's a little different
00:52:30When you're in there
00:52:31With a WWE champion
00:52:33The level
00:52:34Of Cody Rhodes
00:52:35The two best
00:52:37In our game
00:52:38Right now
00:52:39The RAC arena
00:52:40In Perth
00:52:41Sold out tonight
00:52:41Over 13,000
00:52:43On hand
00:52:45For WWE
00:52:46Crown Jewel
00:52:47Question remains
00:52:50Who is gonna
00:52:50Continue
00:52:51Pulling the train
00:52:52Into this
00:52:53Brave new world
00:52:54Cody Rhodes
00:52:55Or the man
00:52:57On top right now
00:52:58Seth
00:52:59Freaking Rollins
00:53:00Cody back to his feet
00:53:02Hooks Rollins
00:53:03Went for Crossroads
00:53:05Seth
00:53:06Crossroads of his own
00:53:08Cover
00:53:09By Rollins
00:53:10Cody somehow
00:53:13Gets out
00:53:13Cody living dangerously
00:53:16Here
00:53:16Looked up
00:53:17One point
00:53:17Left of his line
00:53:18And got made
00:53:19Stomp
00:53:19And pushed the truck
00:53:20Out of there
00:53:21And connected
00:53:22With his own move
00:53:23The Crossroads
00:53:24Seth now
00:53:26Incredibly frustrated
00:53:28And forlorn
00:53:29In the ring
00:53:29Questioning
00:53:30What the hell
00:53:31Do I have to do
00:53:33To finally get a win
00:53:34Against this guy
00:53:35Keep the pedal
00:53:37To the metal
00:53:37Keep the pressure on
00:53:40Is that Seth Rollins
00:53:43Starting to believe
00:53:44It's just not
00:53:45His destiny
00:53:46To be the leader
00:53:47To be number one
00:53:48Is he always
00:53:49Gonna be in second place
00:53:51Rollins heading up
00:54:05To the top rope
00:54:06Tastes about
00:54:11Freakish aerial ability
00:54:13Rollins
00:54:14Misses his roads
00:54:15Moves out of harm's way
00:54:17Seth misses wildly
00:54:18Cody top rope
00:54:19Top rope
00:54:20Cody cutter
00:54:21What a heavy landing
00:54:22Rollins moves out of harm's way
00:54:24Seth will hit a pedigree
00:54:25On Cody
00:54:26And now Rollins
00:54:27With a stomp
00:54:28To Cody Rhodes
00:54:30Cody made a mistake
00:54:31Rollins capitalized
00:54:33Oh and Cody kicked out
00:54:35Now Rollins has gotta be wondering
00:54:37What the hell
00:54:38Do I need to do
00:54:39To put Cody away
00:54:41From disbelief
00:54:47To despondency
00:54:49For Seth freaking Rollins
00:54:51Two of his biggest shots
00:54:54Landed one after the other
00:54:56And still no
00:54:58Rollins arguing with the official
00:55:01Sean Bennett
00:55:02Thought it was a slow count
00:55:04Cody beat the count
00:55:06Now Rollins
00:55:07Trying to figure out
00:55:08What he's gotta do
00:55:08Seth is bugging out now
00:55:11His eyes bulging out of his head
00:55:13It's like he's living in a dream world
00:55:16It's like he's living in a dream world
00:55:16What is it?
00:55:29He's looking like a man possessed
00:55:30And I'm not quite sure
00:55:32What's going through his mind
00:55:33The gift that Cody gave to Seth
00:55:47After Wrestlemania 40
00:55:49When Seth assisted Cody
00:55:52In climbing to the pinnacle
00:55:54Of this industry
00:55:55And becoming the WWE Champion
00:55:58And how ironic it would be
00:55:59If Seth Rollins would use that gift
00:56:01To finally slay his demon
00:56:03To exorcise his demon
00:56:05Of Cody Rhodes
00:56:06But he thinks twice about it
00:56:07And if they cost him
00:56:08Cody with a kick
00:56:09It would have been a disqualification
00:56:11The referee would have seen it
00:56:12Oh God
00:56:13Cody
00:56:14Cutter
00:56:15Rhodes
00:56:17Crossroads
00:56:19Cover
00:56:20One
00:56:21Two
00:56:22Oh my goodness
00:56:24I thought Rhodes won it
00:56:25The lightest
00:56:27And the latest
00:56:28Of kickouts
00:56:29Seth Rollins
00:56:31Almost beat himself
00:56:32With that distraction
00:56:34Holding the Rolex watch
00:56:38Allowing Cody Rhodes
00:56:39To get on this
00:56:40And then following up
00:56:43With a crossroads
00:56:44While both men
00:56:45Have now connected
00:56:45With two of their
00:56:46Heaviest shots
00:56:47Back to back
00:56:49And their opponent
00:56:50Their fellow world champ
00:56:52Has kicked out
00:56:53And now
00:56:54Wait
00:56:54Is Cody
00:56:55Starting to question
00:56:56Himself perhaps
00:56:57Well Cody
00:57:00Historically knows
00:57:01He can get the job done
00:57:02He has done this
00:57:04Against Seth before
00:57:05He knows he's
00:57:06Got to dig deeper
00:57:07Than against
00:57:0899%
00:57:09Of opponents
00:57:10The question is
00:57:12What else
00:57:13Is in your playbook
00:57:14Cody
00:57:14And how quickly
00:57:16Can you execute it
00:57:17Cody going up
00:57:19To the top rope
00:57:20Rollins
00:57:21Trying to make it
00:57:21Back to his feet
00:57:22And he does
00:57:23And he
00:57:23Causes Cody
00:57:25To lose his balance
00:57:26God so perfect
00:57:27Was that
00:57:27From Seth Rollins
00:57:29A light tap
00:57:29On the back of the knee
00:57:30Was all it took
00:57:31To collapse Cody
00:57:34A shot at the right spot
00:57:36Now Cody hung up
00:57:37Locked in
00:57:38And Seth Rollins
00:57:39Takes advantage
00:57:40Of a
00:57:41A defenseless Cody
00:57:43Rollins right back
00:57:47Into the fight
00:57:47The official
00:57:49Warning him
00:57:50He's got a count of five
00:57:51Or could be disqualified
00:57:52Seth's got to be careful here
00:57:54His world turns too black
00:57:56If he does get disqualified
00:57:57And again
00:57:59Trying to lock back
00:58:00Into the fight
00:58:01Shut out the noise
00:58:02Cody Rhodes
00:58:04Looks like a dead body
00:58:06In the corner
00:58:06All that blood
00:58:07Rushing to his head
00:58:08You guarantee
00:58:08His faculties
00:58:09Aren't there right now
00:58:10The body is in agony
00:58:11And if Seth
00:58:13Can drop the hammer here
00:58:14He has a victory
00:58:15In sight
00:58:16Well Rollins got something
00:58:17On his mind
00:58:18Looking across the ring
00:58:19To Cody Rhodes
00:58:20He's just trying to somehow
00:58:21Get back into the fight
00:58:22Rollins now
00:58:23From the top rope
00:58:24Rollins perched
00:58:29Rollins
00:58:30Oh my goodness
00:58:31Coast to coast
00:58:33Rollins
00:58:34Coast to coast
00:58:36What you've never seen
00:58:37Before
00:58:37Seth you madman
00:58:39And that could turn the tables
00:58:42In Rollins favor
00:58:44Cover on Rollins
00:58:46And Cody somehow
00:58:47Kicked out again
00:58:48Oh Seth went for broke
00:58:50He hurt himself
00:58:51In the process
00:58:52I think he's messed up
00:58:53That left arm
00:58:54Slash shoulder
00:58:55Take another look at this
00:58:56It was the landing of Seth
00:58:58It did a real number
00:58:59On Cody Rhodes
00:59:00But I think the left arm
00:59:02Of Seth
00:59:02Damaged on that landing
00:59:04It couldn't be elbow
00:59:05Seth's in a bad way here
00:59:07And Cody Rhodes
00:59:08Can he take advantage?
00:59:10Rollins couldn't put Cody away
00:59:12With that coast to coast
00:59:13And Rhodes now
00:59:14Has the chance
00:59:15And the doubt again
00:59:17Creeping into the mind
00:59:18Of Rollins
00:59:18Tricks like that
00:59:20That you've never
00:59:21Pulled out before
00:59:22That risk your own body
00:59:23In the process
00:59:24And now shaking out
00:59:25That left arm
00:59:26Trying to get a little
00:59:27Feeling back in there
00:59:28And it's not what you want
00:59:29This deep into a match
00:59:31Against your mortal enemy
00:59:33Against a man
00:59:35Who could ruin
00:59:35Your entire future
00:59:36In this industry
00:59:37Cody Rhodes
00:59:38In trouble now
00:59:40On top
00:59:41Of the top turnbuckle
00:59:44Let's face it
00:59:45Both men are in big trouble
00:59:46At this point in the match
00:59:47I don't care who's
00:59:48Leading the charge
00:59:50Both men are in a really bad way
00:59:52And still shaking out
00:59:53That left arm
00:59:54Is Seth Rollins
00:59:55And struggling gingerly
00:59:57To climb the turnbuckles
00:59:59But there can be
01:00:01No let up
01:00:02If you want to be the leader
01:00:04If you want to be the best
01:00:05Now is the time
01:00:06To dig deeper
01:00:07Than you ever have done before
01:00:09And that's what Cody's doing
01:00:10Cody with the right hand
01:00:11Knocks Rollins
01:00:12Off the ropes
01:00:13Seth could barely brace
01:00:15On that landing
01:00:16That arm is so bad
01:00:17Seth up to the top rope now
01:00:22Surprising Cody there
01:00:26How are you doing Seth?
01:00:31Oh my goodness
01:00:32Rollins
01:00:34Spanish flow
01:00:35Fly
01:00:36And now Seth
01:00:37Down those roads
01:00:39Cover
01:00:40For the win
01:00:41Cody again
01:00:44Oh my god
01:00:47I mean what's worse
01:00:50For Seth Rollins
01:00:51At this point
01:00:51The physical agony
01:00:52That he is clearly in
01:00:54Or the mental agony
01:00:56That Cody's refusal to die
01:00:59Is putting Seth through
01:01:01Cody somehow
01:01:11Still in this fight
01:01:13After the abuse
01:01:14That Rollins has handed him
01:01:16Over the past number of minutes
01:01:17Rollins clearly favoring
01:01:21That left arm wave
01:01:22Yeah it's in a bad way
01:01:23I don't know what damage
01:01:24Has been done
01:01:24If it's the elbow
01:01:25The shoulder
01:01:26The tricep
01:01:27It just isn't working properly
01:01:29And it's been ever since
01:01:30He went coast to coast
01:01:31In a suicide fashion
01:01:33And Rollins
01:01:35Staring down at Cody
01:01:36Crawling across the ring
01:01:38On his knees
01:01:40Rollins
01:01:43Has Cody in position
01:01:45Cody's inadvertently
01:01:47Crawled right into the danger zone
01:01:49Exactly where
01:01:50Oh no
01:01:50He went to the second rope
01:01:51He took too much time
01:01:52And it allowed Rhodes
01:01:53To get back in it
01:01:54Well Cody may have been
01:01:55Playing a little possum there
01:01:56Dragging his carcass
01:01:58Over to the corner
01:01:59Where Seth was laying
01:02:00Seth is in a really
01:02:03Really bad way
01:02:05I cannot stress this enough
01:02:06That left arm
01:02:07There was no letter
01:02:13From Cody Rhodes
01:02:14Nor should there be
01:02:15At this level
01:02:16How badly do you want it
01:02:18Well you're getting your answer now
01:02:20Cody with
01:02:21He's got Seth hooked
01:02:22Both men
01:02:23Up on the top rope
01:02:24Cody Rhodes
01:02:26Cover for the win
01:02:28Shoots the half
01:02:30Hooks the leg
01:02:31Rollins is still in it
01:02:34Oh god
01:02:36A crossroads
01:02:39Off the top rope
01:02:40After all this damage
01:02:43This was the end
01:02:46This was the end
01:02:47Of the match
01:02:48This was good night
01:02:49Goodbye vision
01:02:50It all comes crumbling
01:02:53Down for Seth Rollins
01:02:54I don't know if this was
01:02:56Instinct or what
01:02:58His brain can't be working
01:02:59But somehow
01:03:00Seth's future
01:03:02In this game
01:03:03Lives on
01:03:04Thanks to that
01:03:05Incredible kick out
01:03:06A massive
01:03:07Avalanche
01:03:08Crossroads
01:03:09Could not put
01:03:11Rollins away
01:03:12And this fight
01:03:13Continues
01:03:14For the crown jewel
01:03:15Championship
01:03:16Just both men
01:03:18Are spent
01:03:18I mean the referee
01:03:23Close to calling
01:03:24This one off
01:03:25To protect both men
01:03:26But
01:03:26The consequences
01:03:28Are too great
01:03:29We need a winner
01:03:30Yeah these two
01:03:31Are not going to
01:03:32Give up Wade
01:03:32You're going to have to
01:03:33Drag them out of the ring
01:03:35Seth is just a broken man
01:03:39In there
01:03:40Physically and mentally
01:03:41And Cody
01:03:45Taking advantage
01:03:46Point in a match
01:03:50Where you need to
01:03:51Leave humanity
01:03:52At the door
01:03:52If you really
01:03:53Want to be
01:03:54The top dog
01:03:55Seth looking like
01:04:01The one-armed
01:04:01Bandit here
01:04:02But still
01:04:03Valiantly
01:04:03Throwing bombs
01:04:05The way
01:04:05Of the face
01:04:06Of Cody Rhodes
01:04:06Well let's not forget
01:04:07The amount of punishment
01:04:08Cody has suffered
01:04:09As well
01:04:09Still fighting
01:04:16Here's the issue
01:04:16Seth couldn't block
01:04:17Any of those shots
01:04:18He was thrown
01:04:19With his right
01:04:19He couldn't block
01:04:20With his left
01:04:21Rollins
01:04:22Looked like he was
01:04:23Going for a stomp
01:04:24And now it's Cody Rhodes
01:04:26Delivering the kicks
01:04:26To Rollins
01:04:27Again
01:04:28Seth is fighting
01:04:29One-handed here
01:04:30And it's all
01:04:31Cody Rhodes now
01:04:33Crossroads
01:04:36And Rollins
01:04:37Is able to counter
01:04:38Kick again to the midsection
01:04:40And Cody now
01:04:41Looking for a pedigree
01:04:43Rollins escapes
01:04:44And he just grabbed
01:04:47That Rolex watch
01:04:48Cody has no idea
01:04:50Neither is the official
01:04:51The referee blindsided
01:04:53For now
01:04:54Oh
01:04:55Kick by Rollins
01:04:56And the official
01:04:57Lockdown
01:04:57Cody with an opportunity
01:04:59Rollins used a watch
01:05:01To knock out Rhodes
01:05:03The referee's winded in the corner
01:05:06After that
01:05:06In a burn collision
01:05:07And Seth Rollins
01:05:09Tied it perfect
01:05:10Seth Rollins
01:05:12Delivered the death blow
01:05:15To Rhodes
01:05:16With a Rolex watch
01:05:17That Cody gifted him
01:05:19And now Cody Rhodes
01:05:22With no clue
01:05:23Where he's at
01:05:23Barely moving
01:05:25Rollins
01:05:27With a stomp
01:05:28Apparently one's not gonna do it
01:05:32Seth knows how tough Cody is
01:05:34Seth tried this before
01:05:36It didn't work
01:05:37It needs something extra
01:05:38And now Seth
01:05:41Perched on the top rope
01:05:42Cody Rhodes
01:05:43Coming to
01:05:44Rollins has got Rhodes
01:05:45Where he wants him
01:05:46Seth Rollins
01:05:47From the second rope
01:05:53With another stomp
01:05:54To a helpless Cody
01:05:55Seth Rollins falls
01:06:00Into the cover
01:06:01One
01:06:01Two
01:06:02Three
01:06:03And has exercised
01:06:04His demons
01:06:05Here is your winner
01:06:10The 2025
01:06:12Men's
01:06:14Ground
01:06:15Jewel
01:06:16Champion
01:06:17Seth
01:06:19Freaking
01:06:20Rollins
01:06:22The way the frustration
01:06:24Built throughout this matchup
01:06:26For Seth Rollins
01:06:27He became desperate
01:06:29He couldn't put Cody Rhodes away
01:06:31And at the end of the day
01:06:33He grabbed the Rolex watch
01:06:36He delivered a knockout blow
01:06:39To Cody
01:06:39Which set up two stomps
01:06:41To earn Seth Rollins the victory
01:06:44In his first career win
01:06:46Over the American Nightmare
01:06:48I don't know if Seth Rollins
01:06:50Is in ecstasy right now
01:06:52Mentally speaking
01:06:53About the look of his face
01:06:56Maybe he is
01:06:57Or if it's just the relief
01:06:59Of years
01:07:00Of his Achilles heel
01:07:02Cody Rhodes
01:07:03Having a 3-0 advantage
01:07:06Over
01:07:06This is the moment
01:07:07I don't set up
01:07:08Blown his entire chances
01:07:10With that coast-to-coast
01:07:12Suicide style
01:07:13Spanish flies attempted to
01:07:16Cody was equal to all of it though
01:07:18Cody just kept kicking out
01:07:20Just kept coming back
01:07:21And he kept surviving
01:07:23And then Cody Rhodes
01:07:24From the top rope
01:07:25With an avalanche crossroads
01:07:27Which we thought
01:07:28Was the end of this wave
01:07:29Yeah
01:07:30Looked like it was
01:07:31And any normal competitor
01:07:33It would have been
01:07:33But this is Seth Rollins
01:07:35On a promise
01:07:37On a mission tonight
01:07:38With everything in Seth's world
01:07:42On the line
01:07:43This was the moment
01:07:43He grabbed that Rolex watch
01:07:45And behind the referee's back
01:07:46And got winded
01:07:47In this incident here
01:07:49A chance to take a cheap shot
01:07:53At the jaw of Cody Rhodes
01:07:55Cold cocking Cody
01:07:57And following on
01:07:58With first a regular stop
01:07:59And then a super stop
01:08:01Giving Seth freaking Rollins
01:08:05Finally
01:08:06A victory
01:08:07Over Cody Rhodes
01:08:10And Wade
01:08:10How the landscape
01:08:11Has changed
01:08:13A couple of years ago
01:08:16It was Seth Rollins
01:08:17Who helped Cody Rhodes
01:08:19Finish his story
01:08:21At Wrestlemania
01:08:22Cody Rhodes
01:08:24Was so thankful
01:08:25That he gifted Seth Rollins
01:08:27That Rolex watch
01:08:28And tonight
01:08:29Rollins
01:08:30Uses it
01:08:31Against Rhodes
01:08:33To finally
01:08:34Nice and tight
01:08:34We've done this
01:08:37A couple of times
01:08:38To finally
01:08:40Slay his demon
01:08:41And the beautiful
01:08:46Brown jewel watch
01:08:48175 diamonds
01:08:502.86 parrots
01:08:52Given to Seth Rollins
01:08:54Like a glove
01:08:55Who now
01:08:59Wade
01:08:59Finds his vision
01:09:02Clearly
01:09:03Intact
01:09:04It was all
01:09:06Or nothing
01:09:07For Seth
01:09:07Freaking
01:09:08Rollins
01:09:08Tonight
01:09:09And Seth
01:09:10To his credit
01:09:11Did exactly
01:09:12What he said
01:09:13He would do
01:09:14He won this
01:09:151,000%
01:09:17On his own
01:09:19With no backup
01:09:20No help
01:09:21And Paul Heyman
01:09:23You can start
01:09:25Planning that party
01:09:26But back
01:09:27In the USA
01:09:28Wade
01:09:29I can't argue
01:09:30With you
01:09:30Seth Rollins
01:09:31Did do it
01:09:32On his own
01:09:32You might be upset
01:09:33With the way
01:09:33He accomplished
01:09:34The feat
01:09:34But he got it
01:09:36Done
01:09:37And Rollins
01:09:38Finally
01:09:39Finally
01:09:41Ends years
01:09:43Of distress
01:09:43At the hands
01:09:44Of Cody Rhodes
01:09:45And the world
01:09:46Heavyweight champion
01:09:47Is now the crown
01:09:49Jewel champion
01:09:50Go up to
01:09:51Kathy
01:09:51Kelly
01:09:51Oh boo
01:09:54I don't need
01:09:57Your question
01:09:58Kathy
01:09:58I know
01:10:00What you're
01:10:00Going to ask
01:10:01How does it
01:10:03Feel
01:10:03To get
01:10:04That monkey
01:10:05Off your back
01:10:06How does
01:10:07It feel
01:10:08It feels
01:10:18Better
01:10:18Than any
01:10:20Of you
01:10:20Could ever
01:10:21Imagine
01:10:22Because some
01:10:25Of us
01:10:25Dream impossible
01:10:28Dreams
01:10:28And some
01:10:30Of us
01:10:30Have the fortitude
01:10:32To reach
