00:00Gonna refocus, stop forgetting about what just happened
00:04because he's in our main event later on tonight.
00:06He's going up against the number one contender
00:08for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
00:11It's Rollins and Reigns live tonight on Monday Night Raw.
00:19And we are back live on Monday Night Raw.
00:21It is time for our main event.
00:23There's Seth Rollins huddling with the authority
00:25set to take on Roman Reigns.
00:26Want to show you what happened
00:28to kick off Monday Night Raw tonight.
00:29A confrontation between Rollins and Reigns.
00:32You guys tonight, you gotta take him out.
00:35Or maybe, or maybe I can just punch you
00:39in your mouth right now.
00:40Right.
00:41Now Seth Rollins fought the wrath of Reigns
00:45and Roman Reigns wasn't through there
00:47after promising to punch Seth in his mouth.
00:49Watch what he does to Jamie Noble.
00:50Superman punch and Joey Mercury meets a spear.
00:55And as we get set for our main event here,
00:57Rollins versus Reigns, we want to tell you
00:59that this match is presented tonight
01:01by Twix Tri-Bulb Pick Aside.
01:04And right now we're going to show you
01:05Twix's Pick Aside, tail of the tape, guys.
01:08They should have had IQ on there
01:11because that's where Seth really exceeds.
01:13Yeah, it was real smart looking for him,
01:15you know, to look at Roman Reigns
01:17after Roman Reigns said he punched him in the face.
01:20You know, wise off to him.
01:22They get punched right in the face.
01:23You know, wise off to him.
01:24They get punched right in the jaw.
01:25You know, I look at the tail of the tape
01:27in microcosm.
01:28It tells me that Roman Reigns is going to beat the hell
01:32out of Seth Rollins right now.
01:34What happened earlier was Roman Reigns
01:35ran out of words to say,
01:37and so he did what he normally does and punches people.
01:40Seth Rollins is not the most articulate guy in the world.
01:43Yeah, but to get the job done, right?
01:44Seth Rollins had a run-in earlier tonight
01:46with the host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart.
01:50Randy Orton came out to confuse the situation.
01:52Jon Stewart went down low and embarrassed Seth Rollins,
01:55and then Orton explained, guys,
01:56the reason he was doing it was to, quote,
01:59save Rollins from career suicide.
02:01Instead of he attack Jon Stewart here on national television,
02:04he probably would have lost his job.
02:08Orton, he didn't tell Rollins,
02:10I have your back before a big show,
02:12and Kane said, listen, we've got your back, Seth.
02:15I don't know, Kane slapped Kaufman on David Letterman.
02:19Still here.
02:20Jamie Noble told Randy Orton,
02:21we don't need everybody out here,
02:22hence the reason you don't see Orton out here
02:24for this main event now.
02:29Roman Reigns.
02:31Paul Heyman continually tells Reigns week after week
02:35that he cannot beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.
02:38In 27 nights, we'll find out if that's the case.
02:43There's the power of Roman Reigns.
02:46Roman Reigns, he's a guy who's willing to take three
02:48just to get one.
02:50That's what I like about this guy.
02:52He can't take three from Brock.
02:55And Seth Rollins gonna regroup.
02:56Reigns laughing about it in the ring.
02:58I don't even know if he can take one from Brock.
03:02The thing, though, Booker, I've noticed about Reigns
03:04lately over the past month or so
03:05since winning the Rumble,
03:06his confidence is through the roof.
03:09Let me tell you something,
03:10Daniel Bryan threw everything at Fastlane,
03:13at Roman Reigns, and Roman Reigns waited
03:15to the perfect time that Daniel Bryan
03:18was in the perfect position to drop that spear on him.
03:20That's what I think is gonna happen at WrestleMania.
03:22He's gonna take it and take it and take it.
03:25Oh!
03:26I think what's gonna happen at WrestleMania,
03:27all that confidence, when Brock Lesnar
03:29wraps his arms around Roman Reigns
03:30and throws him backward over his head
03:32in a German suplex, out goes the confidence
03:35and out goes Roman Reigns.
03:36Yeah, but what happens to Brock Lesnar
03:38when he see a man like Roman Reigns
03:40who can take it and keep taking it?
03:42Like a Rocky Balboa.
03:45I think Brock hopes he can keep taking it
03:47because Brock can keep dishing it out.
03:49And look, listen, to agree with John here,
03:51I mean, here's the point, don't forget,
03:53Brock Lesnar's the man who beat the Undertaker
03:56at WrestleMania last year to end the winning streak.
03:59We haven't seen Undertaker since.
04:00He manhandled John Cena in the most lopsided
04:03championship match in history at SummerSlam.
04:06Here's the cover and a kick out.
04:07Then he went on to win a triple threat match
04:09at the Royal Rumble against Cena and Rollins
04:11with what ended up being a broken rib.
04:14How do you stop Lesnar?
04:15Cena and Rollins could actually,
04:17I mean, Rollins and Daniel Bryan could actually team up.
04:20And they wouldn't beat Brock Lesnar.
04:22The way I answer that is,
04:23I saw Roman Reigns have an interview on SmackDown
04:26with Byron Sexton last week and the look in his eyes
04:29told me that Roman Reigns is ready to take
04:32as much as Brock Lesnar is willing to dish out.
04:35That's the way I see this thing playing out.
04:38It's easy having that look
04:39when you're looking at Byron Sexton.
04:41And here's Brock different
04:42when you're looking at Brock Lesnar.
04:43And now the midsection of Rollins.
04:45And now Seth Rollins with a drop kick
04:47caught Reigns on a button.
04:51And now Mr. Money in the Bank
04:53hammering away at Roman Reigns.
05:00Seth Rollins reminding everyone, including Reigns,
05:03that he still holds the Money in the Bank contract,
05:05that he could cash in if he so sees fit at WrestleMania.
05:10At any point, it could be at WrestleMania,
05:13it could be at any time over the next number of months,
05:14leading up to the next Money in the Bank event.
05:19Rollins biding his time
05:21since winning the ladder match last summer.
05:23Ooh!
05:24I thought Seth Rollins was a good Daily Show replacement.
05:27Better than John Oliver.
05:29It was hard to tell how good Seth Rollins really is
05:32with all these goons out here backing him up.
05:35The guy is capable. We've seen that.
05:40Reigns sent out inside the ring.
05:42And watch out for the goons.
05:44There's J&J Security.
05:45And Rollins, as he looks on,
05:48watches Reigns take out two members of a security team.
05:52And now Reigns with a clothesline.
05:54Oh, baby.
05:55Victory!
05:58And again, the nobles scatters.
06:02Oh, Reigns shoulder first into the post.
06:05Seth Rollins moving out of harm's way.
06:07Get on him, son! Get on him!
06:11♪ I ain't gonna sit in my head
06:13♪ They come for me
06:15♪ They understand, they talk to me
06:17Well, Randy Orton told Seth Rollins,
06:19if you need my help, just ask.
06:22Things have not been going Rollins' way,
06:24so perhaps Orton felt like Mr. Money in the Bank
06:27needed some help.
06:29A little help, please.
06:30♪ All designed to keep you
06:32See, isn't that interesting?
06:35Reigns and Rollins continues live.
06:36I think he's coming to help.
06:38♪ Ain't no pain, I have a voice
06:42And we are back live on Monday Night Raw.
06:44Our main event, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.
06:47Reigns catching Seth Rollins in midair,
06:49looking for the Samoan Drop, perhaps.
06:51Rollins, oh, right to the back of the knee.
06:54Meanwhile, Randy Orton has made his way out here
06:56to ringside, and guys, he is not in the corner
06:59of the rest of the authority.
07:03What's your point?
07:06Just an observation.
07:09You see Big Show Kane and J&J over on this side,
07:11where Randy Orton watching things on the other side
07:13after making a promise to Seth earlier tonight
07:15that, hey, I'm here if you need some help.
07:20Big Show mouthing off to the sold-out crowd here tonight,
07:24nearly 15,000.
07:26We got the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
07:29Stop the future right there.
07:29Stop the Rollins.
07:31Who saw that?
07:32Who saw that?
07:33Who saw that?
07:35Who saw that?
07:36Stop the future.
07:38First place of Howard Finkel here in Newark.
07:41It's recovered well since then.
07:48See what I'm talking about right here.
07:49This is what Brock Lesnar's gonna have to deal with.
07:51It look like Roman Reigns is totally out right now,
07:53but trust me, this guy got a whole lot left in the tank.
07:59Now Roman Reigns trying to rally.
08:01Seth Rollins is helping from his friends
08:04to take control of this match
08:05during the commercial break over the WWE app.
08:11Reigns, of course, has faced Brock Lesnar,
08:13and Reigns back to his feet now.
08:15Roman Reigns trying to create separation,
08:17and he does, pounding Rollins.
08:20Great move by Reigns.
08:21He buys himself some time.
08:25Looking over the shoulder of Randy Orton.
08:27Looking over the shoulder of Randy Orton.
08:30Yes, a member of the authority.
08:33There's the rest of the authority.
08:38Come on, Seth!
08:39Can Reigns take advantage here?
08:42Get him!
08:43Seth Rollins, nobody home.
08:45Roman Reigns with a clothesline.
08:47And we welcome you to Monday Night Raw.
08:49We are live, ladies and gentlemen.
08:50Sold out tonight, Newark, New Jersey.
08:52Here we go, baby.
08:53In our main event,
08:54Roman Reigns, the number one contender for the WWE World Cup.
08:58Against Seth Rollins.
09:00And Reigns starting to build momentum.
09:02Where did he get this energy from?
09:03He was just out a second ago.
09:05Now Roman Reigns, his own fire.
09:08And Roman's gonna need all this
09:09against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.
09:11Tilt-a-whirl slam, cover, hooks the leg.
09:14Is it enough?
09:15And it isn't.
09:16Roman Reigns said he's not, you know,
09:18above going to get the best advice
09:20to go into that match.
09:21The best prepare he possibly can be
09:24against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.
09:26I like that.
09:30Best advice, do not show up near Brock Lesnar.
09:36Oh, look at it again.
09:38Come on now.
09:39J&J security.
09:41Goodbye.
09:43And it allows Rollins again to take control.
09:45Cover for the win.
09:47Come on, don't let go.
09:48Reigns powers out,
09:49but again, J&J security getting involved.
09:52That's what security's supposed to do, Michael.
09:53They're supposed to get involved in the match.
09:55They protected their asset.
09:56Well, their asset in this case is Seth Rollins.
09:58Yeah, well, I guess the officials
10:00are afraid to disqualify people
10:01because the authority might get upset.
10:02Actually, Roman's the one that drug J&J in.
10:06Okay, you're ridiculous.
10:08He did.
10:09He's the one that drug him in.
10:10And here's Seth Rollins,
10:11top rope and Reigns with a right hand.
10:13Big right uppercut.
10:16Let me tell you, I don't care if you're Brock Lesnar
10:18or anybody, you take one of those big right hands
10:20right there, you're gonna feel it.
10:25Rollins fighting back, both men.
10:27Hurts precariously up to the top rope.
10:30Watch that body drop.
10:33That is a long way down.
10:36And again, J&J security getting involved in the match.
10:39And again, Seth Rollins,
10:41top rope and Reigns with a right hand.
10:43That is a long way down.
10:46Contestant fortitude right there from a big guy.
10:49Oh, and Reigns takes out Noble again.
10:54Seth Rollins takes advantage of another distraction.
10:57Rollins for the win.
10:59And Reigns stays in it.
11:04You know what I'm talking about, Roman Reigns.
11:06I mean, he's got a lot to deal with in Seth Rollins
11:09on his own because the kid is good.
11:12Yeah, but then you add Mercury and you don't
11:14hold the match.
11:14Exactly my point.
11:16And you really don't know how good
11:17Seth Rollins really could be.
11:24Seth going to the top rope,
11:25looking to put Roman Reigns away.
11:31Uh-oh, Reigns caught him.
11:32Reigns looking for the win.
11:33Shoulders down now.
11:35Uh-oh, power, power of Reigns.
11:37Oh, man.
11:38For the victory over Rollins, who stays in it.
11:42Barely.
11:43I hope Brock Lesnar's looking at this.
11:46Look at this.
11:47Moments ago, again, J&J getting involved in the matchup.
11:51It allows Seth Rollins to take over.
11:54But now we're in a stalemate.
11:55Both men down center of the ring.
12:02That was early on when Mercury tried to get involved.
12:05And again, Rollins would take advantage.
12:12Rollins back to his feet first,
12:14trying to neutralize Roman Reigns and the power.
12:17And here comes Reigns.
12:19You don't want to go toe-to-toe with this guy.
12:28Uh-oh, Rollins launched over the top rope.
12:35And now Big Show coming to the aid of Seth here.
12:39Guys, look out.
12:40Roman Reigns off the apron, taking Big Show out.
12:47Now Roman.
12:50Oh, come on now.
12:52Kane with a steel chair.
12:53Again, the official's got his hands full.
12:56There's people all over the place.
12:57The official can't watch all this stuff.
13:00Rollins for the victory.
13:01Gonna steal one here.
13:02A laser kicks out at two.
13:10Roman Reigns is staying in there.
13:13Much to the chagrin of the authority.
13:15But Booker, watch this kick earlier by Seth Rollins.
13:18I mean, right to the chin.
13:20Let me tell you something.
13:21Oh my God.
13:22A normal man, that would have knocked him out cold,
13:26but not Roman Reigns.
13:27Brock Lesnar, you better be ready.
13:29I'm inclined to agree with you, Book.
13:34That was impressive by Roman Reigns.
13:36Yeah, but look at Seth Rollins.
13:37Rollins, Rollins, Rollins, Rollins, Rollins.
13:39Oh, no.
13:40Superman punch.
13:41Goodnight, nurse.
13:49Hey, Art, Art, Randy Orton helping out Rollins.
13:53Rolling up Reigns.
13:54Shoulders down.
13:55And Randy Orton, Randy Orton aids Rollins in the victory.
14:00Here's your winner, Seth Rollins.
14:03Randy Orton, Randy Orton, Randy Orton.
14:06Seth Rollins.
14:08Randy Orton told Seth Rollins,
14:10if you need my help, I'll be there for you.
14:12And Randy Orton was there for Rollins.
14:14I told you.
14:16I told you.
14:17Woo.
14:20I told you.
14:22Got no question now where Orton's loyalty lies.
14:25He flat out told Rollins he was there to help,
14:27and he did, he helped defeat Orton.
14:29Roman Reigns in our main event.
14:30I'm sorry about Randy.
14:33And Roman can't believe it.
14:36He's not quite much of a team player right there.
14:41He looks like Randy to me.
14:44That's my point, boy.
14:46I mean, it was Roman Reigns really
14:48against five guys here tonight.
14:49And Roman Reigns down.
14:51Oh, and the top, taking out the authority.
14:55Taking out the authority.
14:56Now going after Big Show.
15:02Oh.
15:04Spear to Kane.
15:07And now Big Show from behind.
15:09Right in the kidney.
15:15Now Big Show gonna take out his,
15:18Superman punch.
15:20Big Show wobbly.
15:22Spear.
15:26Rollins goes up top.
15:27Oh my goodness.
15:28Is he ready?
15:29John, is he ready?
15:31Did you see that impact?
15:33Is Roman Reigns ready?
15:34Did you feel that impact?
15:38I think so.
15:39Roman Reigns, I think, split Rollins in half.
15:43And I'm not exaggerating.
15:46That was impressive.
15:48I give it to you, Booker T.
15:52Booker, you said it earlier,
15:53I hope the WWE World Champion Brock Lesnar's watching.
15:56Book, I'm beginning to believe
15:57this is gonna be a competitive match
15:59with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.
16:01When a man talks about his family and his future,
16:04anything could happen.
16:05Closing moments of the matchup.
16:06Randy Orton trying to set up, be there for you
16:08if you need me.
16:09Randy picked the prime time.
16:11Official never saw it.
16:12Rollins took advantage and wins the match.
16:14One, two, three.
16:18Roman Reigns upset in what amounted
16:20to be a five on one situation.
16:22And watch what Reigns would do to the authority.
16:26Look at this athleticism.
16:28Unbelievable.
16:31Wow.
16:37And Reigns wasn't done there.
16:39Watch what he does to Big Show.
16:41Now guys, I want you to watch this.
16:42Watch this impact.
16:44Watch what he does to Seth Rollins.
16:45Watch it.
16:46Right on the ribs.
16:47Man, you're talking about a broken rib.
16:51Talking about more than one broken rib.
16:53Watch this.
16:54Breaking a human being in half.
16:55Oh my goodness.
16:57And that could be Lesnar.
16:59That could be the beast at WrestleMania.
17:01If it happens to Brock Lesnar,
17:03you could have yourself a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
17:07You'll believe in that, right, John?
17:09I'm starting to believe, yes, Book.
17:12As Roman Reigns would say, believe that.
