00:00Entertainment, this is Wrestlemania!
00:30And here it is, from the virtual streets of Southtown, all the way to Wrestlemania, introducing Fatal Fury City of the Wolves' latest fighter, Salvatore Ganacci.
00:40We're not a playable character in the minigame, Salvatore is a world-renowned artist and record producer.
00:52Hell yeah, Salvatore!
00:54Okay! Now we're kicking off the show!
01:17Come on, Wade! Wade! What a moment!
01:21Go ahead and eat a little in Sin City!
01:24Wouldn't be the first time!
01:29The Raiderettes from the Las Vegas Raiders in the NFL are here!
01:35Thank you for the hospitality, Tom Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders!
01:40Your stadium is immaculate!
01:43And this place is upside down!
01:47Early!
01:48Here he comes, Pat!
01:49Main event, Jey Uso!
01:50The biggest night of his career!
01:51The winner of the Royal Rumble!
01:52Stay on beat, Cole!
01:53Stay on beat!
01:55Stay on beat!
01:56I'm just excited to be here!
01:57Stay on beat!
01:58Stay on beat!
02:15Stay on beat, Cole.
02:19Stay on beat.
02:21I'm just excited to be here.
02:23We all are, baby.
02:24It's WrestleMania.
02:26In this particular WrestleMania will be what?
02:29That Jey Uso will remember for the rest of his life.
02:32When a documentary is made about the right-hand man,
02:36tonight will be in it.
02:38Could it be the first time he's a world champion
02:41all by himself?
02:43Or at night he gets his heart broke.
02:45By the ring, Ganara.
02:50Until then.
03:11I'll tell you what, Cole.
03:13A lot of yeeting here early.
03:19Wade, you might have to call the whole show.
03:22Quite happily, I'm sure it'll be a vast improvement
03:25from you two jumping out of the blocks at an 11.
03:27I will say, in an entire stadium, yeeting to the max right now,
03:34Jey Uso seems remarkably restrained.
03:37Jey Uso is the only one that can restrain himself from him.
03:49Yeet, yeet, yeet, yeet, yeet, yeet, yeet, yeet in all the dangers, baby.
03:56Well, it's all excitement for everyone else, but Jey Uso is the man that has to now step in the ring,
04:02but the ring, General Gunther.
04:04Hold the celebrations.
04:07Because everybody's having fun.
04:09Even Rick Rubin is yeeting in the front row, Pat.
04:11I like that.
04:13I like that.
04:15Big brain man from a lot of great zones.
04:18This being a banger, Drew Andrew, how do you do, Ricky Roof?
04:23Hey, look at Jey Uso, right next to our lucky Slim Jim Sweet Steaks winner,
04:35who is leaving the ultimate fan experience thanks to Slim Jim.
04:38Need a little excitement?
04:40Snap in to a Slim Jim.
04:45Come on, Uso!
04:46Come on, Uso!
04:48That was a WrestleMania!
04:50Come on, Blair!
04:53A little subdued.
04:55Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to WrestleMania.
04:58Pat McAfee and I are here, and for the first time at the announce desk,
05:01it is WrestleMania debut, Wade Barrett.
05:04Welcome, partner.
05:04I am so pumped up for this.
05:06I know it might not have seen so much like that during the yeeting experience.
05:09I'm trying to pace myself.
05:10This is a massive show with massive matches,
05:13and I'm so honored to be a part of this process.
05:15Hey, even the Spanish announcers, Marcelo Rodriguez and Jerry Soto,
05:19doing some yeeting as well.
05:20Yeah, that one does.
05:21Yes.
05:21Cabalga, family fan.
05:23Here we are live with our team at WrestleMania
05:25to make history again.
05:27That's it.
05:29Enjoy the WrestleMania.
05:32Oh, and then?
05:33Well, the stars are out tonight.
05:43We'd like to welcome Turdialishek, the chairman of the GEA from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
05:49They welcome us into their country a couple of times a year.
05:52He's enjoying WrestleMania here tonight.
05:54Welcome to the show, Turkey.
05:58Thank you for coming.
06:00We're leading off with the biggest wagon in WWE.
06:05The Yeet Train starts WrestleMania 41.
06:09Let's get down to business now.
06:14Wade hit the nail on the head.
06:15All the fun and games are over here in a couple of minutes for Jey Uso.
06:19He comes in tonight, Wade.
06:20Zero and six in world championship matches in his career.
06:24Perhaps more importantly, 0 and 3 when it comes to going one-on-one with Gunther.
06:28Well, pressure is no greater than right here at WrestleMania.
06:32Jey's been here before.
06:33He's done it before, but he's done it in tag action where he's had somebody to lean on.
06:38He stands alone, and it must be the most lonely spot on planet Earth,
06:43knowing what is about to walk down this aisle.
06:45He's not alone at all.
06:46I think he can see clearly, Wade.
06:50All of Vegas is with him.
06:58Gunther!
06:59Gunther!
06:59Gunther!

07:28Gunther!
07:28since arriving on the scene on Monday Night Raw a number of years ago.
07:34One was Cody Rose back at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia in November.
07:38The other was a year ago.
07:40Pat right here at WrestleMania when he went into the matchup,
07:44a heavy favorite against the underdog Sami Zayn.
07:46Sami would go on to upset Gunther and end the 666-day reign as champion.
07:52Yeah, certainly Sami Zayn is a very capable competitor,
07:55so maybe Gunther took him less seriously than he should.
08:00A record at 51-3.
08:02This man wins and wins and wins some more.
08:05Doesn't understand losing.
08:07But the last couple of weeks, he seemingly has lost himself a little bit
08:10with Jey Uso barking back.
08:12Ladies and gentlemen, this match tonight is presented by Slim Jim.
08:16Get Savage with America's favorite golden spicy meat stick.
08:21Snap in to a Slim Jim.
08:23Oh, yeah.
08:26Also making her WrestleMania debut tonight,
08:31our ring announcer, the great Alicia Taylor.
08:37The following contest scheduled for one fall
08:42is for the World Heavyweight Championship.
08:53Introducing first, the challenger from San Francisco, California.
09:04Wagon at 242 pounds, main event, Jey Uso.
09:22And his opponent, from Vienna, Austria.
09:29Weighing in at 250 pounds, he is the World Heavyweight Champion.
09:43The ring general, Goulter.
09:48Jey Uso won the 2025 Royal Rumble.
09:54He would go on to pick this man, Gunther,
09:56to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship.
10:00Wade, a lot of people have questioned the decision
10:02of why Uso would pick this monster known as Gunther.
10:05Well, it's a mountain to climb from the word go.
10:07For the past three months, Gunther has been at his brutalist worst.
10:12It looked like it had crumbled Jey Uso from the off,
10:15but the last two weeks, we've seen a very different version of main event, Jey.
10:19You win the Royal Rumble, you have an opportunity to be a world champion.
10:22No matter who you face, it's going to be tough.
10:23This one might be the toughest of them all.
10:27Talked a lot over the past couple of weeks,
10:28the fact that after bloodying and bludgeoning Jey Uso's brother, Jimmy,
10:33that Gunther sent Jey Uso into another space, into another plane.
10:39Jey Uso's been intense.
10:40Jey Uso has been focused, and perhaps, Wade,
10:45for the first time, Gunther has lost some control of this situation.
10:49Yeah, it's been a morphing act by Jey Uso,
10:51and that morphing act has completely rattled the champ.
10:55Everything Gunther thought he knew about Jey Uso has gone out the window.
10:59I think everything Jey Uso thought he knew about Jey Uso has gone out the window.
11:04Feels like a new person as of late,
11:06as we wait each other out here a little bit on the big stage.
11:09The problem for Jey, I mentioned before, 0-3 in one-on-one matches with Gunther,
11:13back in 2024, when Jey Uso was the Iron Man of the Rumble that year.
11:18Let's get started, Paul!
11:1950 minutes before being eliminated by Gunther, and we're underway.
11:22Are you surprised, Wade, that Jey Uso went for the collar and elbow tie-up to start this match?
11:27Yeah, I am completely, and listen, the mindset of Jey Uso may have appeared to have changed over the past two weeks.
11:34Physically, he's still the same guy.
11:37That's the problem.
11:38Physically, nobody...
11:39Oh, and Jey firing back with a right, and he drops Gunther, and Gunther now back on his heels,
11:45and he's going to roll out of the way, the ring now, to readjust.
11:49All right, forget everything I just said.
11:51Physically, that did indeed rock Gunther, but when Gunther feels a weakness on himself,
11:56he fixes it and comes back stronger.
11:58Yeah, Jey Uso has actually put on some muscle over the last few months.
12:02He's got a new neck tat, so physically, he's different as well coming in here.
12:05And I think what Gunther just realized was, wait a minute, Jey Uso can throw hands if he has to.
12:10Yeah, real contrast in styles in this matchup.
12:13Gunther is steadfast, machine-like.
12:15He's redefined brutality here at WWE.
12:19For Jey Uso, he's flashy, he's quick, he's a veteran.
12:22Looking to outsmart Gunther here tonight, which I'm not sure you could do against the ring general.
12:26Well, Gunther leaves no stone unturned in his preparation,
12:31especially for the biggest matches here at Wrestlemania.
12:35Jey Uso simply cannot outmaneuver the champ physically.
12:38Side headlock, and Pat, if you're Gunther, you want to try to ground and pound Uso tonight.
12:42Absolutely, Gunther's trying to pound everything in sight.
12:45Big shoulder tackle, Uso with his quickness moves out of the way.
12:48And Jey Uso with a shoulder tackle of his own, shot by Gunther.
12:53Yeah, those are going to be the equalizers here.
12:55And a step up in, Seguri drops the champ again.
12:58And again, Gunther has to roll out of the way and try to reassess this situation.
13:02Step up in Seguri, gives Jey a little bit of peace here.
13:05Well, here's the shocking moment, that huge chop from Gunther there.
13:09Jey just ate it, it rattled him, but he didn't go down.
13:12That has surprised the big Austrian.
13:14The dominant champion, he's held the title 80% of his career in WWE.
13:20870 days as the NXT UK champ.
13:23666 days as the Intercontinental Champion.
13:27258 days now as the world champ since winning back at SummerSlam.
13:30One thing Gunther has to do, Pat, is not allow the crowd to get into this match.
13:38Yeah, you watch him just take a step back there once the eating started here in Las Vegas.
13:42And maybe it is in his head a little bit that the whole stadium is against him.
13:46Being a former NFL player, explain to us the importance of the momentum of the crowd to help your team.
13:52Yeah, momentum's a real thing.
13:53Stats and analytics don't really know how to explain it.
13:55But if the vibes are good, and they're going...
13:57Oh! Confidence is high.
13:59Not enough.
14:00And Gunther into the cover now.
14:01Jey forced to kick out.
14:02I'm not sure you want to try to overpower Gunther here.
14:05Yeah, and I guess you're overestimating the importance of crowd noise when it comes to Gunther.
14:09A lot of people, yes, it will affect.
14:11Gunther is just built so different.
14:13He's got the granite mindset.
14:15Noise from the peanut gallery is not going to affect him at all.
14:19Well, talking about noise, the chops to Jey's chest tonight that people are going to hear,
14:23maybe for the first time, alarming.
14:26What that right hand of that Austrian man can do.
14:30He's devastating.
14:38Body slam from Jey Uso.
14:43And now Gunther backing up into the corner again, and Jey Uso caught him.
14:47And Jey now starting to roll.
14:49Gunther, the champion, could be in some trouble.
14:52Gunther was not expecting...
14:53Oh, that chop will stop Jey in his tracks as he tumbles and falls to the floor.
14:59That's what I was talking about just moments ago.
15:01It's been flurries.
15:02It's been 100 miles an hour from Jey Uso.
15:05It has rattled the champ on occasion.
15:08But one killer blow like that changes everything.
15:11And again, another look at this chop.
15:13It's his finisher.
15:14Boom!
15:14If he hits it, it could be over a medium.
15:19And remember, guys, no hurry for Gunther here.
15:20He's got the champion's advantage.
15:24Jey must pin or submit Gunther to win the title.
15:26And this is the pace that Gunther likes.
15:28It was that 100 miles an hour stuff from Jey Uso that was playing into Uso's game plan.
15:34Now this is all back to the drawing board.
15:37Gunther goes 6-4.
15:382-50.
15:40And that big uppercut drops Jey again.
15:43And now it almost feels like, Pat, that Gunther's starting to settle in.
15:46Yeah, this is right where Gunther likes to be.
15:49He's in complete control.
15:50You are at his mercy.
15:52And he's chopping and thumping your body down.
15:56And if you were Jey Uso, Wade, this is what you had to try to avoid.
16:00Yeah, absolutely.
16:01You asked him to win three weeks ago.
16:03Jey Uso had zero chance in this match.
16:06All that has changed in the meantime is a couple of fired-up speeches from Jey Uso.
16:11Physically, he's exactly the same.
16:13And now he's getting dominated by Gunther.
16:15This was inevitable.
16:16You don't think that affected Gunther emotionally at all.
16:19Until the bell rings.
16:20And then something switches in the mind of Gunther.
16:24And this version appears.
16:26And now the match settling in to the point where I believe many people thought this match would be
16:31that the dominance of Gunther didn't want to believe.
16:33He wanted to believe in Jey.
16:35And Jey with a spear!
16:36He caught him out of midair with a spear!
16:38Cashed out a steal of win!
16:39Over Gunther!
16:40Who's got to kick it, too!
16:41Now, if you're the champion, Wade, that's going to knock you all out of sorts.
16:44Yeah, and if everything you're saying, Wade, is true,
16:46then Jey Uso didn't just spear Gunther out of his boots
16:49and almost win the title right here in Las Vegas!
16:51Take another look at this.
16:52Spear connects to perfection.
16:54But to be honest, Gunther absorbed it, kicked out at exactly the right moment,
17:00keeps the match alive.
17:02And really, Jey Uso took too long to follow it up!
17:05You've got to wonder if Jey got all that spear with full momentum.
17:09But Jey's still fighting back, and Gunther seems to be on his heels a bit here.
17:13In case Jey Uso's back in charge.
17:18Oof!
17:19Wow!
17:19Never mind!
17:21The biggest equalizer in the game.
17:23Throw whatever you want at Gunther!
17:25Oh, wait a second!
17:26Went for the powerbomb, and Jey turned it in with Samoa Drop!
17:28Great counter by Jey.
17:30He's been beaten by that powerbomb before.
17:31I'll tell you this, Jey Uso is as locked in as I have ever seen him.
17:35I go back 16 years with that guy.
17:37This is a very different, more combative version of Jey Uso.
17:42Referee Sean Bennett, the official in this world championship matchup.
17:46Gunther now will not allow Uso to get to the top rope.
17:49Gunther will meet him there, however.
17:51And now the world champion looking to take control.
17:53Hooking Uso.
17:54Top rope now for Gunther.
17:56Into that suplex, driving Jey Uso across the ring.
17:59There's a throw off the top rope.
18:01And there's a dinosaur dropkick by the gargantuan Gunther,
18:04who now looks to put Uso away with a powerbomb.
18:07And this is what we are afraid of.
18:09Stacks him up for the win.
18:11And the retention and a kickout at two by Jey.
18:14How did Jey kick out of that?
18:17Well, Gunther is transforming the game before our eyes.
18:20No one in history has stacked heavy offense in a row quite like Gunther.
18:26This is the final piece in the puzzle.
18:28The high-stack powerbomb.
18:30Final piece until it wasn't.
18:32Jey Uso still has some resolve left in him.
18:35What a night tonight at Allegiant Stadium.
18:37We kick off WrestleMania Saturday with a world heavyweight title on the line.
18:41Over 60,000 will be in this building tonight in Las Vegas.
18:47An absolutely electrifying atmosphere.
18:50WrestleMania weekends are a must-do for any human with breath.
18:55It's been a wild 24 hours already.
18:58What can I happen to you, huh?
19:00Your right hand.
19:02Big slap by Gunther.
19:03Drops Jey again.
19:06And now, Gunther looking to deliver yet another powerbomb to Jey Uso.
19:10Jey is turning around with a nice Rana.
19:12And now Jey Uso's spear again.
19:13Spear again by Jey.
19:15Jey's got Gunther hurt.
19:16Gunther's down.
19:17Jey Uso's going to look to go up top.
19:19Is it Jey's moment?
19:20Is it Jey's opportunity?
19:22Jey from the top rope rocks.
19:23Blast connecting.
19:25Cover.
19:27Gunther kicks at it, too.
19:30Well, they've both now dropped their heaviest artillery.
19:34And it simply hasn't worked.
19:36Gunther got the second bite of the cherry.
19:39Jey beats him to the punch with his spear.
19:42This time, following it up with that iconic splash.
19:46But Gunther is the champ for a reason.
19:48And this one lives on.
19:50And it's interesting because both the men have hit their finishers.
19:53Their Uso splash and the powerbomb.
19:55And you've got to believe, is frustrating starting.
19:58Frustration, I should say, starting to set in for Gunther.
20:01What the hell is Gunther doing?
20:02He's taking his bat and ball and going home?
20:06Gunther has grabbed his world title.
20:10You're not going to run up on this head.
20:13You're not going to run up on this head.
20:15Nobody will.
20:16I'm going to talk to you.
20:17And Jey Uso now.
20:18And look at the referee.
20:19Bennett had to duck out of the way.
20:21And Gunther used the belt as a weapon.
20:23Jey Uso with a belt to the face.
20:25Gunther now going up to the top rope.
20:28Gunther with a splash.
20:29Gunther looking to retain and steal this matchup.
20:32Kick out by Jey.
20:35Well, the hell is there anything left in Jey Uso?
20:38And now the frustration is sending in, Wade.
20:40Gunther realized that was his opportunity.
20:43And now, now locking in the sleeper.
20:46The choke is locked in.
20:47This looks very similar to what was happening to Jimmy a couple weeks ago.
20:51Indeed.
20:51And Jey Uso is forced to watch as his brother was choked out.
20:54A bloody mess in the center of the ring.
20:56WWE fans trying to rally Jey Uso some way, somehow.
21:01Jey trying to make it to the rope.
21:03Gunther going to turn it around now and lock it in.
21:06The eyes of Jey Uso slowly fade.
21:09And this is the last roll of the dice if he can't get to that rope.
21:12Jey trying to make it to the rope.
21:13Gunther doing a nice job blocking.
21:14Oh, no.
21:15Drax Jey back to the center of the ring.
21:17And that was just a matter of time.
21:20Squeezing the soul out of the body of Jey Uso.
21:23Still scrambling.
21:24He made it to the rope.
21:25Jey made it to the rope.
21:26Great move by Jey.
21:27Made it to the rope to the official.
21:29Gives Gunther a five to break.
21:31I thought that was it, Wade.
21:33I thought Gunther was going to do what he's done so many times in the past.
21:36And that's just make Jey Uso go night-night.
21:41Well, he ain't night-night quite yet.
21:42But things are getting incredibly close.
21:44Let's help.
21:44Let's help.
21:46Let's help.
21:46Gunther screaming at Uso.
21:54Obviously frustrated.
21:57Trying to figure out what he needs to do to put Jey away.
22:01A couple of vicious knees to the jaw of Jey Uso.
22:04And another chop.
22:05And Gunther's ticked off right now.
22:07You get hit with a title.
22:09Your brain is scrambled.
22:10Jey Uso at this point completely defenseless.
22:13I'm starting to question the likelihood of Jey Uso's ongoing aliveness.
22:19You saw the official Sean Bennett again checking on Jey Uso.
22:22And Jey says, just bring it.
22:23And now another chop by Gunther.
22:25Uso is laughing.
22:27Jey Uso is laughing at the chops from Gunther.
22:30Jey Uso said, do you know the family I grew up in?
22:33You think you're going to be able to out-chop me?
22:34And another one walks right into that.
22:37Drops Jey to the knees.
22:38Not sure that was wise.
22:39But to your point, Jey might not have a clue where he's at.
22:41You can laugh at him.
22:42Oh, all you want.
22:44Imminently, Jey Uso is going to start looking like Jimmy did several weeks ago.
22:48That's a really good point.
22:50Gunther promised he would bloody and bludgeon and batter Jey Uso in this match tonight.
22:56Gunther waiting for Jey to get back to his feet.
22:58Oh, Jey back to his feet.
23:00Nice blow by Uso.
23:02World champ.
23:03What's on the left arm and a shot to Jey.
23:06Caving the...
23:06And another chop.
23:08Drops the challenger.
23:11At this point, Jey Uso clearly is not thinking like the normal Jey Uso.
23:17And the referee needs to keep a close eye on this.
23:19Part of the job of the referee is to protect competitors when they can't protect themselves.
23:24It's a championship fight.
23:25Jey Uso is nowhere near quitting.
23:28Jey fighting back.
23:33There's been some physical, vicious championship matches in all genres here in Las Vegas over
23:40the years.
23:41Gunther and Jey now exchanging blows like massive heavyweights in the middle of the ring.
23:46What's going to give here?
23:49And Gunther with a clothesline.
23:50Jey still at his feet.
23:52A clothesline to Gunther as well.
23:54Jey still standing tall.
23:56Big boot.
24:01And that'll knock the champ down.
24:05Jey Uso looking like a man possessed.
24:10Just want...
24:11Through a toughness war with Gunther in one.
24:15We talked about it on the Countdown Show.
24:17You never know when you're ever going to get another opportunity at the World Championship.
24:21You got to take it when you can.
24:23And now Gunther from behind.
24:24The choke now on Uso.
24:25Able to duck from underneath.
24:27Nice throw and suplex by Jey.
24:32Jey taking a minute but he can't take too long.
24:35Gunther will take advantage.
24:36Jey going deep into the playbook tonight.
24:39Jey Uso is basically hitting Gunther's greatest hits on Gunther right now.
24:45That clothesline.
24:46That German suplex.
24:49Gunther, whatever he expected tonight, it certainly was not this.
24:53It was a great game plan developed here by Jey Uso.
24:57And Jey now there again.
24:58That's that big dinosaur dropkick.
25:00Drops the number one contender in his tracks.
25:03Gunther now.
25:04Center of the ring.
25:06Hoisting Jey Uso up.
25:08Powerbomb.
25:08It says to Jey able to counter.
25:09Jey counters.
25:10Jey's got Gunther.
25:11It'll powerbomb of his own.
25:14Yes.
25:15Again.
25:16Pulling out moves from the repertoire of the champ.
25:19Studying film.
25:22Throwing his game.
25:23Jey just hit Gunther with a powerbomb and a superkick.
25:27And suddenly Uso showing signs of life.
25:31A powerbomb to the ring general.
25:34Roman Reigns told us on Pat McAbee's show Friday how proud he was of Jey Uso in this opportunity tonight.
25:40Spear.
25:41Speaking of Roman Reigns, a spear by Jey.
25:44Gunther's down.
25:45Jey's going to climb high.
25:47Go on, Jey.
25:51Uso splash.
25:53Smart by Jey.
25:55One didn't get it done last time.
25:57So Jey is going to try to develop another one here.
26:02A second Uso splash.
26:04Rolls through again, Cole.
26:06I think he's thinking three Uso splashes.
26:10Well, Gunther looks like a big man already.
26:13Jey Uso going for the trifecta in Vegas.
26:16Connects this time to the back of Gunther.
26:18Does Jey have a chance?
26:21Does Jey Uso have a chance for the upset of the year?
26:25Is Jey Uso about to be world champion?
26:28You're a better man.
26:29You're putting all on Jey Uso.
26:31And now Jey with a choke, with a sleeper on Gunther.
26:36Turning Gunther's offense around him.
26:38Uso's got it locked in on Gunther.
26:40Gunther's made it.
26:41Gunther taps out.
26:43Jey Uso with the damn title.
26:45Here is your winner, the new world heavyweight champion, main event, Jey Uso.
27:04You guys want to talk about poetic justice.
27:08Jey Uso turned the tables tonight on Gunther.
27:12Gunther, Jey Uso's world champion.
27:16Jey Uso wins his first title.
27:20He rolled the dice on the strip and it paid off.
27:26Gunther passed out.
27:31Wait, take us to the end of this.
27:33What a miracle performance from Jey Uso.
27:36So this is where it looked like the fix was in for Gunther.
27:39Gunther connecting with the skull of Jey with that championship.
27:44Following it up with this massive splash.
27:48But something came over Jey Uso tonight.
27:51And he refused to be denied.
27:53Gunther tapped out.
27:55Gunther throwing everything he had at the man.
27:58But Jey was simply equal to it and more.
28:01Jey did it.
28:02Jey Uso did it.
28:04Heading Gunther with multiples of his own offense.
28:07Then pulling out Jey Uso's own greatest hits.
28:11The spear.
28:12The splash.
28:13We saw multiple superkicks.
28:15But this was the poetic moment that Michael Cole mentioned.
28:20Just when Jey Uso's hopes were fading.
28:24He saw a vision of his own brother covered in blood.
28:27And this is how he chose to defeat the man that put Jey Uso in that state.
28:32Ladies and gentlemen.
28:34A career that started a couple of decades ago.
28:39In a small promotion.
28:42That was before NXT.
28:44Known as Florida Championship Wrestling.
28:47The late, great Dusty Rhodes once said that Jimmy and Jey Uso were going to be massive stars.
29:02And tonight Jey Uso fulfilled that prophecy.
29:07From Tampa, Florida.
29:09To Las Vegas, Nevada.
29:11To the World Heavyweight Championship.
29:14And the top of the world.
29:16You did it, Jey.
29:20And look who is in the ring.
29:23Brother Jimmy tears in his eyes.
29:27Emotion overflowing tonight.
29:31There is a reason.
29:33It's day one-ish.
29:37The twin brothers.
29:39Together through thick and thin.
29:41They've had their problems.
29:43They've battled each other.
29:45They've been at each other's side.
29:48But tonight, Jimmy Uso is here to present his brother Jey with the most coveted prize.
29:55The World Heavyweight Championship.
29:58You talk about day one-ish.
30:11This is just day one.
30:14I'm the Jey Uso era as world champion.
30:16I'm the Jey Uso era as world champion.
30:20We know that Jey Uso's father, the Hall of Famer Rikishi, is somewhere in this stadium tonight.
30:27Pat, you remember.
30:29And Wade, you were there that night with me.
30:30Back in Indianapolis, Indiana, the night that Jey Uso won the Royal Rumble, when you and I walked into a bar at our hotel, and Rikishi, Jey's father, was there.
30:42And he ran up to us, and he gave us a massive hug, and there were tears in his eyes as he watched his son win the Rumble.
30:48You can only imagine what Rikishi is doing tonight, because he can call his son the World Heavyweight Champion.
30:57You talk about working your ass off, doing it the right way, winning over every single human in the WWE Universe, and then cashing in on the grandest stage of them all to become world champion.
31:23You're talking about a dream come true.
31:26You're talking about an iconic storyline that'll live forever.
31:30You're talking about a yeet documentary that might be about a future GOAT in this industry.
31:37Jey Uso's world champ, Cole.
31:40Why don't you go on in?
31:43Yeet a little bit.
31:50Congratulations to the brand new World Heavyweight Champion.
31:56Champion, say it one time, Pat.
31:59Yeet.
32:02Jey Uso's world champ.
