00:00It's available July 14th.
00:01They just witnessed there's some sick piggies.
00:03Nonetheless, coming up next, ladies and gentlemen,
00:05it is a steel cage match for the WWE Championship between the champion Randy Orton,
00:11the challenger Batista in a rivalry that was taken to a new level,
00:15taken up a notch last month at Judgment Day.
00:18That Judgment Day.
00:21I wasn't just looking to retain my title.
00:26I was looking to take Batista out for good.
00:31And when I was about to accomplish that, I was stopped by Ric Flair.
00:37Batista's mentor!
00:38Ric Flair unloading on Earth!
00:42Batista bomb to the champion!
00:46Ric Flair, if you think that you saved Batista last night,
00:50all you did was delay the inevitable.
00:54I dare you to get in my business again, Flair.
00:59If you do, I will not pass it.
01:01Woo!
01:03You might still be the champion.
01:06But let's make one thing clear.
01:09You did not beat Batista.
01:14Orton struck the referee.
01:16And the referee had no choice but to disqualify Randy Orton.
01:20You are going to defend the title one more time.
01:24But you don't have to worry about disqualifications.
01:26You don't have to worry about count outs.
01:28Because we did defend the title against Batista.
01:31This time, it'll be in a steel cage.
01:36And extreme rules.
01:42Flair, since you were so nice enough to come out here and deliver that message,
01:46I want to give you a message to give Batista for me.
01:54This Sunday at extreme rules,
02:02I'm going to be the one walking out of that cage door.
02:06Still WWE Champion.
02:11What don't you understand about being retired?
02:20What don't you understand about being a man?
02:24I'm not challenging to a match.
02:27I'm calling you out.
02:29You and me.
02:30I'll fight to the finish.
02:32When one man can walk, he's the winner.
02:36This is a fight to the finish in a parking lot.
02:42Anything can happen.
02:43I'm going to be in complete control.
02:45This is going to be a night you never forget.
02:48Because it's going to be one you won't be able to remember.
02:51I need you not to be my hero.
02:55I need you to believe that Ric Flair can go out and do this like he used to.
03:01You have and will always believe in you.
03:07Ric Flair going for the figure four.
03:09He's the man.
03:10He's got it locked in.
03:12Look out.
03:14Rhoads and DiBiase assaulting Flair.
03:18Saving Orton.
03:19Ric Flair is helpless right now.
03:22Ric Flair is helpless right now.
03:26Ric Flair at the door.
03:28Ric Flair at the door.
03:30Ric Flair.
03:33Ric Flair.
03:34Ric Flair.
03:35Ric Flair.
03:36Ric Flair.
03:37Ric Flair.
03:38Ric Flair.
03:39Ric Flair.
03:40Ric Flair.
03:41Ric Flair.
03:42Ric Flair.
03:43Ric Flair.
03:44Ric Flair.
03:45Ric Flair.
03:46Ric Flair.
03:47Ric Flair.
03:48Ric Flair.
03:49Ric Flair.
03:50Ric Flair.
03:51Ric Flair.
03:52Ric Flair.
03:53Ric Flair.
03:54Ric Flair.
03:55Ric Flair.
03:56Ric Flair.
03:57Ric Flair.
03:58Ric Flair.
03:59Ric Flair.
04:00Ric Flair.
04:00I'm gonna be the one walking out of that cage door.
04:11Still champion!
04:30Edge is out of the sham of a marriage.
04:35Looks like he's escaped from a cage.
04:38Ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, the WWE title will be defended inside that dangerous steel structure.
04:44A structure that both men here tonight say they plan to use as a weapon.
04:49The following is a steel cage match and it is for the WWE Championship.
05:02Now the only way to win is by pinfall submission or escaping the cage with both feet hitting the floor.
05:11I need voices in my head. They come to me. They understand. They tell me.
05:23He is the ICY WWE Champion.
05:27Randy Orton has been on a reign of terror the past few months that has been unparalleled.
05:33He took out every member of the McMahon family.
05:37He took out Triple H, the game.
05:40The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, all with punts to the skull.
05:44With his past Monday night on Raw King, the one thing Randy Orton did, in my estimation, was he woke up an animal.
05:52And that may really come back to haunt Randy Orton right here tonight inside that cage.
05:58We've said it before.
06:00The most dangerous kind of animal is one that's caged.
06:04And Batista, I mean, we've seen it. We've witnessed it.
06:08Everyone sees the emotion.
06:12The rage that is inside Batista.
06:14And it's all gonna come out tonight inside that cage.
06:16I'm afraid at the expense of Randy Orton.
06:18You know you talked about Randy Orton's evil deeds as of late.
06:22And I travel all around the country, Michael, and I've talked to, I don't know how many members of the Raw Universe, different cities, different states.
06:32And I'm telling you, Randy Orton is without a doubt the most despised man in the entire WWE right now.
06:40Earlier tonight, Orton's opponent Batista told Randy Orton that tonight's just beginning.
06:50Tonight I'm going to take your WWE Championship.
06:53But then I'm gonna take your pride.
06:55And then I'm gonna take your dignity.
06:57And then I'm gonna take your health.
06:59I'm gonna take everything.
07:01And I'm not going to stop until I wipe out your entire legacy.
07:07And if Batista does everything that he says he's gonna do, I don't think there's one person that's gonna feel sorry for Randy Orton at all.
07:16Randy Orton inside the steel cage.
07:17He broke this upon himself, King.
07:19Remember what he tried to do at Judgment Day.
07:21Tried to get himself disqualified.
07:23Tried to get himself counted out.
07:24And he did get himself disqualified to retain the WWE Championship.
07:28None of that's going to apply tonight.
07:30That steel cage is to keep everyone else out and keep Orton and Batista, just the two of them, inside.
07:45You can tell from the look on Orton's face, somehow, some way, in his heart, he believes he's gonna retain that title.
07:58As a matter of fact, I hate to say it, if I were a betting man, I would probably be betting on Orton myself.
08:09...
08:29Wow!
08:31Flat out intensity.
08:35Man! Everyone on their feet here in New Orleans!
08:53Batiste has been seething since Monday night,
08:55when he stood outside the steel cage,
08:57and he watched helplessly as Randy Orton punted,
09:00his mentor, his friend,
09:03Ric Flair in the skull.
09:05And, Kate, let's put this in perspective.
09:07What did Ric Flair mean to Batiste?
09:11Well, you know, I think everyone,
09:13everyone that is watching this right now can relate.
09:17Just think of someone in your family,
09:19or your closest friend,
09:21someone that you care about,
09:23someone that you love,
09:25and think about them being in the Batiste.
09:27Introducing first, The Challenger,
09:29from Washington, D.C.,
09:31290 pounds,
09:33Batista!
09:39And from St. Louis, Missouri,
09:41weighing in at 245 pounds,
09:45he is the WWE Champion,
09:49Randy Orton!
09:51Randy Orton,
09:53four-time World Champion.
09:55Batista,
09:57four-time World Champion,
09:59made inside the steel cage tonight for the WWE title.
10:03The gold on the line,
10:05the only way you leave with that gold,
10:09is if you pin your opponent,
10:11make your opponent submit,
10:13or somehow you're able to escape that cage,
10:15either through the steel door,
10:17or climb it over the cage.
10:18And Orton's looking to escape.
10:19Randy Orton looking to escape quickly.
10:21Batista in pursuit.
10:22Orton trying to put this match away early.
10:24If Orton can get over the top,
10:25but he can't.
10:28That was a point I was gonna make,
10:29to change the strategy for Orton,
10:30and look at Orton again.
10:31And he's getting the top of the cage.
10:33Randy Orton looking to survive and keep the title.
10:36Batista holding on to Orton's head,
10:38and that's the only thing that he's got.
10:41High drama early on,
10:43and extreme rules in this steel cage match for the championship.
10:47You know, some would say that that's the coward's way out,
10:51trying to run and climb out of that cage immediately,
10:53but that's good strategy.
10:55Randy Orton has to weather the emotion of Batista
10:58early on in this matchup.
11:00And to Batista, he's gotta channel that energy.
11:03And focus it on the man who months ago
11:06kicked him in the skull.
11:08Look at Orton slithering like a snake.
11:11Orton cost you Batista four months of his career.
11:15Cost you Batista an opportunity to participate in the 25th anniversary of
11:19WrestleMania.
11:25I gotta think that that was Orton's plan from the get-go.
11:28Immediately try to escape the cage in this without suffering the wrath of
11:32Batista, but I'm afraid he's gonna have to go to plan.
11:35Oh, and a spear right into the cage.
11:38Saw his spine buckling against the metal.
11:41And Batista.
11:42And Orton able to jump up and Batista.
11:44And look at, look at, look at the champion again.
11:46Randy Orton again trying to escape.
11:48Randy Orton again trying to climb the cage.
11:50He's gotta get over.
11:51And have both feet touch the foot.
11:52Both feet now.
11:53Ooh.
11:54And Batista fired up with a thunderous clothesline.
11:59Almost took Orton's head off.
12:02And Orton's eyes glazed over there.
12:06Just got blasted by a 290 pound man.
12:10Shizzled like a stone.
12:12Look at Batista with the power of the suplex.
12:16Look at to wear Orton down.
12:18Punish Orton.
12:19Here's the cover.
12:20Hooks the leg.
12:21Remember title can't change hands via pinfall in the steel cage.
12:26Ominous words from Batista early on tonight.
12:34No doubt he wants to punish a man who Batista once said can.
12:38He loaves and despises.
12:41Well, it's a long list of people, but I guarantee you Batista
12:45is right at the head of that list.
12:47Batista, as much as he wants to win that goal,
12:52I don't think he's gonna be in any hurry to try to escape the cage.
12:55He wants to punish Orton.
12:56And Orton can escape through the door.
12:57And the door's open.
12:58He can escape through the door.
12:59Both feet up to hit the floor.
13:01Batista not gonna allow that to happen.
13:11Orton with very little offense in the early going.
13:13He's gonna focus more on escape.
13:14Ooh.
13:21And Orton looking for a counter perhaps.
13:23Ooh, and Batista stole off the steel.
13:26Backbreaker buys Orton some time.
13:29There's Orton an opportunity to escape.
13:32Guarantee that's what's going through the mind of Randy Orton right now.
13:35The WWE Champion wants nothing to do with Batista.
13:37Hey, look.
13:38Doors open.
13:39Doors open.
13:40Orton slithering out the door.
13:42He's almost out.
13:43But the feet have to be on the floor.
13:45Orton with both hands so close.
13:48Look at Batista just powering, dragging.
13:51Orton's 250-pound body back into the ring.
13:54Ah!
13:55Boom!
13:56Uh-oh.
13:57Make it.
14:01It's gotta be disheartening to Randy Orton to be-
14:03Have that steel door open and both hands out.
14:05Being able to touch that floor.
14:07Feel it with your hands.
14:08But no!
14:09Not being able to get your feet on it.
14:10Orton's been manhandled since the early going game.
14:13Batista on a mission.
14:15Powerful slam.
14:16Cover.
14:17Will we crown a new champion?
14:19We got to kick out in two.
14:20Oh, I thought Batista had him.
14:22Batista had just taken Orton to all four sides of that steel cage and introduced him to each side face first.
14:29In Orton.
14:31There's Randy Orton.
14:33Again, with an opening and an opportunity.
14:36You can never get, never, ever get complacent.
14:39Never think that you've got things well in hand when you're against Randy Orton.
14:42He will strike when you least expect him.
14:45Hammering the way of Batista.
14:50Orton promised Batista would suffer the worst beating of his, quote, miserable life in this cage tonight.
14:57You know what?
15:00And again, contemplating escape.
15:02Yeah, he's looking at what's gonna be the best route.
15:05Is he gonna put Batista's skull?
15:08Could he do it here?
15:09Is that maybe what was going through Orton's mind?
15:12It's hard to say.
15:14With a sadistic mind like Randy Orton.
15:17Mind buster!
15:18This may be the beginning of the end for him right here!
15:21Orton's skull bouncing off the canvas.
15:27Batista perhaps closing in on the goals.
15:31A thumbs down signal from Batista!
15:34He's thinking Batista!
15:35Oh!
15:36What a counter!
15:37What a counter by the champion!
15:39Wow!
15:40Batista just lifted it before a backdrop and then flung right into this cage right there!
15:51Oh man!
15:52He dropped straight down on his head!
15:54Bolt man showing the effects of the cage.
15:57As the WWE Universe firmly behind Batista.
16:02Oh no!
16:03Orton with a standing drop kick!
16:05As Batista's skull again contacted the metal.
16:08In this, King, we talk about this all the time, is where Orton becomes so dangerous.
16:13But yet, Orton's gonna try to escape again.
16:14Oh, Batista's gonna have to get up, I don't know.
16:15Batista's not even...
16:16Orton!
16:17Why isn't he going up?
16:24Oh, look at him!
16:25He's going for the punt!
16:26He's gonna go for the punt!
16:27Orton!
16:28And Batista just threw it out of the way!
16:29And Orton, realizing the mistake was made, now has to capitalize, trying somehow to escape the cage!
16:45That make, have been a huge mistake by Randy Orton, now Batista has Orton!
16:52Oh, Batista!
16:54Oh, no!
16:55Randy Orton hanging on.
16:57Randy Orton got greedy.
16:59Batista trying to make the champion pay.
17:01Can he capitalize?
17:02Batista!
17:07It is Randy Orton!
17:12There's Randy Orton!
17:13Oh!
17:14Batista bomb!
17:15We're gonna get a new champion, perhaps!
17:18Push the leg!
17:19He got him!
17:20He got him!
17:21Batista got him!
17:22Here's your winner, and the new WWE Champion, Batista!
17:31Batista has won the gold!
17:34A five-time champion!
17:37It was a long struggle, but Batista finally back on top!
17:43Months and years of frustration with Randy Orton ended for a moment here tonight for Batista!
17:55Oh, that's gotta feel great for Dave Batista right now to hoist the WWE Championship high over his head while Randy Orton lays on his feet!
18:10Check this out one more time!
18:12Orton able to escape that first antenna out of Batista about winning for the RKO!
18:17Missed it!
18:18And then it was locked in!
18:19Listen to this!
18:20Impact!
18:21Wow!
18:22But remember, King, for Batista, tonight is only the beginning!
18:37Batista claimed tonight he would take Randy Orton's title!
18:40He did it!
18:41And then he's going to take Orton's pride!
18:43He's gonna take Orton's dignity!
18:45He's gonna take Orton's health!
18:47He's going to take everything from Randy Orton!
18:50And he's not gonna stop until he wipes out Orton's entire legacy!
18:56Haha!
18:57Batista!
18:58An animal!
18:59On a mission!
19:00I gotta say!
19:01I believe!
19:03What an emotional week for Batista!
19:06For you, Rick!
19:08For you, Rick!
19:10And Batista, with a dedication to his mentor, his long-time friend, the Nature Cat!
19:16The Nature Boy, Rick Flair!
19:18The man who took Batista under his wing!
19:21And turned, in Batista's words, a muscle-headed goofball!
19:25Haha!
19:26Into a world champion!
19:32Congratulations to Batista!
19:35Five-time champion!
19:37Randy Orton, just now crawling, getting to his knees and staring at that sight!
19:48Batista, the new WWE Champion!
19:52Oh!
19:53Oh!
19:55Whoa!
19:56A chanceá!
19:57A chanceá!
19:583
20:15Within the World Commission!
