00:00And these two men have been incredible champions. John Cena, of course, with 17 world titles, the most of all time.
00:07The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, has 16. Randy Orton is tied with a Hall of Famer, the game, Triple H, with 14 world titles apiece.
00:18They meet for the undisputed WWE Championship live tonight.
00:25And here we have the Karate Kid fan section.
00:28And these fans are feeling unstoppable. See Karate Kid Legends exclusively in theaters May 30th.
00:39Well, I'm going to be unaccompaniedly pro-McAfee coming up next.
00:45Because in just a few moments, my partner and friend, Pat McAfee, steps into the ring to face the ring general, Gunther.
00:53Will Pat's bravery prevail? Will Gunther get away unpunished again?
00:57I know who I'm pulling for. McAfee, Gunther, live next.
01:03The legacy of this great sport and the World Heavyweight Championship belong to me.
01:17This particular WrestleMania will be one that Jey Uso will remember for the rest of his life.
01:23You feel it? It's housing!
01:29You feel it? It's housing!
01:43Gunther taps out!
01:45Jey Uso's world champion, Gunther tapped out!
01:53You did it, Jey!
01:55Gunther tapped out!
01:57You did it, Jey Uso's world champion, Gunther, Gunther, who for the second year in a row at WrestleMania, lost to a massive underdog.
02:18You did it, Jey Uso's world champion, Gunther, we can't die.
02:24I'm sick and tired of YouTube.
02:27Michael, have you got something to say to me?
02:30Tell me right now.
02:31I'm doing my job.
02:33I'm not the one who tapped out.
02:35No, no, no.
02:39What is it?
02:54What is it?
02:55Let him go!
02:56What is it?
02:58What is it?
03:04Get out of here!
03:09Get out of here!
03:10Get out of here!
03:11Get out of here!
03:12Get out of here!
03:13Gunter has been fined at Undisclosed Mountain and suspended indefinitely.
03:20I think there's a lot of people that have forgotten who the hell I am.
03:25You must ride for those that ride for you.
03:29You're either with me or against me.
03:33You got a problem with Cole.
03:35You got a problem with me, Gunter.
03:38I want to fight Gunter ASAP!
03:43We can lift the suspension on Gunter in a sanctioned contest at Backlash.
03:50Deal!
03:51I'm going to show up more focused than ever before.
03:56I'm going to maul you.
03:58I'm going to grip you by the head and drive it into this mat.
04:03You've gotten jaded.
04:05You've gotten too damn comfortable.
04:07It happened with Sami Zayn.
04:09It happened with Jey Uso.
04:12And on Saturday, you're going to underestimate me.
04:15And I'm going to prove to you and all these people that this version of Gunter is solved.
04:22Only the grace of God can lift my arms off your throat!
04:31Hey!
04:32Let's go!
04:33Let's go!
04:37Hey!
04:38Let's go!
04:39Let's go!
04:40Let's go!
04:42Let's go!
04:43Let's go!
05:00The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
05:03Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, by way of Indianapolis, Indiana, weighing in at 240 pounds,
05:17Pat McAfee!
05:22I'll be honest tonight, Wade, I am extremely nervous.
05:26I feel sort of responsible for this man being in this predicament tonight.
05:37But I'm going to say what I said on the countdown show.
05:40I'm going to apologize for two things tonight.
05:44One is getting Pat McAfee in this predicament, standing up for me tonight.
05:48And I'm also going to apologize in advance, because for the first time really in my career,
05:52I am going to be very biased tonight in the call of this match.
05:57Pat McAfee, I want him to win.
05:59I want him to embarrass Gunter tonight for Gunter abusing us,
06:03assaulting us, laying his hands on us, not allowing us as commentators to have opinions.
06:09We should be able to give our opinions out here tonight.
06:12And I want Pat McAfee to put Gunter in his place for what he did to me and him a number of weeks ago.
06:17Well, I appreciate the passion.
06:18I can't really argue with the single point you made,
06:20but I'll try and be the voice of reason at times during this night.
06:24Of course, I want McAfee to win too.
06:26But I've got to let you know, this match is brought to you by Karate Kid Legends.
06:32Two branches, one tree.
06:35See, Karate Kid Legends exclusively in theaters May 30th.
06:40Pat McAfee's had a number of matches, a handful in his career weight.
06:44He's been very successful.
06:45He's done it at SummerSlam.
06:46He's done it at WrestleMania.
06:48But listen, I understand he's going in there against a very vicious and a very violent man
06:56who's extremely upset over the fact that he is no longer world champion.
07:00He took that frustration out on Pat and I the night after WrestleMania and it has led to this.
07:05Look at you, you've already got your jacket off.
07:07I've never even seen you quite so in gross.
07:10I'm sweating.
07:11In anybody's matchup.
07:14And things may finally be settling down in the mind of Pat McAfee.
07:20The penny may be dropping.
07:23The time for talk is over.
07:25And oh my God, what a predicament you find yourself in against this man.
07:32The ultimate destroyer.
07:34The problem is, is that you can't allow a man like Gunther to just run around and assault people.
07:42Wait, you and I, we have a job to do out here.
07:44You know, 28 years I've been doing this.
07:4828 years I've sat at this desk.
07:50I've gotten beaten up.
07:51I've gotten my butt kicked.
07:53I've missed a handful of shows.
07:55I should be allowed to have some sort of opinion after 28 years.
08:00And now we're afraid to say anything that might piss somebody off.
08:03They're going to come over here and beat the hell out of us.
08:06You're morally right.
08:08But it doesn't make Pat McAfee getting in the ring with this man anywhere close to right.
08:18And his opponent, from Vienna, Austria.
08:23We gained at 250 pounds.
08:26The ring can rule.
08:28Come on, Pat.
08:31Come on, Pat.
08:37I mean, if there's anyone, if there's anyone that can pull this off, I believe it's Pat McAfee.
08:41Everything he's done in his life, his career to get to this point.
08:46Hard worker.
08:48Came from nothing.
08:49Built an empire.
08:51Has shown incredible athleticism in the ring.
08:54And Pat is in a tremendous shape and ready to go.
08:57Come on, Pat!
08:58Come on!
08:59When it comes to Pat, I'm like you.
09:00I love the loyalty.
09:02I love the bravery.
09:03I love the attitude.
09:05But I hate the chances of this going remotely well.
09:09Yeah, but...
09:10It gives me no happiness to admit that.
09:11Wait, what if Gunther takes him lightly?
09:13What if he...
09:14He's already see the smirk and smile on his face.
09:16Well, the gulf in ability in ring between these two, I feel like Gunther can take Pat lightly and still win.
09:23Well, that's what started it all for us when we made mention of the fact that Gunther tapped out to Jey Uso to lose his world title at WrestleMania.
09:35Well, that's not doing Pat McAfee any favors right now.
09:38Reminded and goading this big Austrian powerhouse.
09:43Lighting that fuse inside the mind of Gunther.
09:47It's going to be an explosion.
09:49The points we're making, Wade, I think are valid.
09:51I mean, at WrestleMania a year ago, couldn't get the job done against Sami Zayn.
09:54One of the biggest upsets in WrestleMania history.
09:56Same thing happened this year against Jey Uso because Gunther looked past both of those men.
10:01Didn't take them seriously, perhaps.
10:03And now just slinging Pat across the ring and...
10:08Paul, you're absolutely right, look.
10:11Gunther has had fewer than a handful of defeats in his entire time in WWE.
10:19You can pretty much space them out by about 12 months and you're telling me
10:23two are going to come back to back within three weeks of each other.
10:26I'm not buying it.
10:27Well, McAfee has ended a real match in, what, a couple of years.
10:30And he's in there with this killer Gunther who's now just brutalizing him here in the early going.
10:36And I don't know what... I know why Pat's in there.
10:43Pat acts first and thinks second.
10:45It's why he's been so successful in everything he's ever tried.
10:49But occasionally there is an exception and this may be...
10:53Oh, Pat!
10:54...waiting for...
10:55Wow!
10:56Went to the chop and Pat able to...
10:59...to move away.
11:00Pat showing a little bit of life here.
11:05Over 17,000 on their feet for McAfee.
11:08But Gunther's just enjoying the sport of this right now.
11:11But make no mistake, tonight is not about sport.
11:14It's about soothing the damaged ego of Gunther.
11:21Let's go, Pat.
11:22Collar and elbow tie up.
11:23Now, McAfee with a headlock.
11:28The official in this matchup.
11:30Dan Engler, you know, sent out to the apron.
11:33Pat hanging on.
11:35Two, get away, guys!
11:36Two, eight, six!
11:39Interesting that...
11:41Well, Pat, with a clean break,
11:43and now just mocked by Gunther and a big right!
11:46Oh, alright, that'll wake up.
11:48And McAfee...
11:49And again, you just see the inexperience of Pat
11:51as he tried to come up over the top and...
11:53It's over-exuberance and...
11:54Oh, goodness!
11:55Pat McAfee, welcome to the greatest, most unstoppable force
12:06Europe has ever created.
12:09Yeah, and overzealousness is the way to put it.
12:11I mean, Pat can't get cute here.
12:13He's just gotta try to take the fight to Gunther
12:15or this is gonna happen.
12:16And Gunther now with a kick right to the shoulder
12:18and things are about to get nasty here.
12:25And Pat, though, not giving up.
12:29Pat with a couple lefts.
12:31Some body shots to Gunther.
12:32Right here now on the top of his own!
12:34And Gunther wants some more!
12:36It's just bouncing off Gunther!
12:38Bring it, Pat! Bring it!
12:39Another one! Another one!
12:42Oh, oh!
12:43And that one just dropped McAfee.
12:47I mean, the gulf in power between the shots from these two
12:50It's so obvious, about ten unanswered from McAfee.
12:55Now, watch yourself here, Cole.
12:57Don't get too excited.
12:58Stay in your lane.
13:00And I mean that for your own protection.
13:10I never wanna find out.
13:11I hope Pat is in a position to one day tell us.
13:18Yeah!
13:19Come on!
13:20Come on!
13:21Come on!
13:22Oh, Pat is...
13:23I don't even think Pat knows where he's at now.
13:26And there's another chop dropping Pat.
13:28And look, I know you're excited, Cole,
13:31but as the seconds tick by a victory here for Pat McAfee.
13:34What, what does this prove, seriously?
13:36What does any of this prove for you?
13:38Just, just pin him and be done with it.
13:41Just move on.
13:42I don't know if you should be talking back at Gunther at this point.
13:45I'm not talking back to him.
13:46I'm telling him to have some mercy and just get, finish this thing.
13:49Look, the aim of the game is to stay out of Gunther's way.
13:52Both you and McAfee have failed miserably at that,
13:55and these are the consequences.
13:57On a shoulder tackle just drops McAfee.
14:02Went for the elbow.
14:03Pat moves out of harm's way.
14:04And now Pat with a kick.
14:05Remember, former Pro Bowl punter, kick to the spine.
14:09Pat a bit shocked as Gunther makes it back to his feet.
14:13Pat breathing pretty heavy here.
14:15You would expect that snap there now.
14:17And Gunther with a kick to the spine of his own.
14:19Well, I'll tell you right now, you could be a top marathon runner,
14:22a brilliant NFL player, a Premiership footballer.
14:25You don't have the same kind of in-ring wind as Gunther has at this point.
14:31Come on, Pat.
14:32Come on.
14:39Come on, dig down deep one time.
14:41One big blow.
14:43Come on, Pat.
14:44What do you got left?
14:45Come on, Pat.
14:46Come on, Pat.
14:50Pat's still on his feet after that chop.
14:52Pat delivered another one.
14:53Oh!
14:54Oh!
14:55Clance McAfee.
14:56Cover him.
14:57Cover him.
14:58No.
14:59You cover him.
15:00Gunther's inviting you in, Cole.
15:03I suggest you sit your backside down on that chair and break eye contact.
15:08You shot!
15:09You shot!
15:10You shot!
15:11You shot!
15:12Take a look at this.
15:13Just when a chop bounced off Gunther.
15:16The reply was swift.
15:17A big size 15 boot to the kisser of McAfee.
15:21Again.
15:23Come on, Pat.
15:24Come on!
15:25You do feel like Gunther can end this at a moment's notice.
15:28Come on!
15:29What he wished to, but I think he's enjoying this too much.
15:32The fans are all over him, Pat.
15:34Come on!
15:35Why do you just, why do you end the fight?
15:36Let's end it.
15:37Oh!
15:38Well that woke Gunther up.
15:39And a German suplex released.
15:40And things are starting to get ugly.
15:41Yeah, it's a full body assault on Pat McAfee.
15:42Pin him, just pin him.
15:43Can you end this thing, please?
15:44Gunther just end the damn match.
15:45The more you ask, the less likely he is to do so, Cole.
15:46What has he got to prove here?
15:47Wait, he's already beat the hell out of the guy.
15:48I mean, he could end it right here.
15:49Making a point.
15:50He is beyond reproof.
15:51He is beyond reproof.
15:52He's beyond reproof.
15:53He's beyond reproof.
15:54He's beyond reproof.
15:55Oh!
15:56Oh!
15:57Oh!
15:58Oh!
15:59Oh!

16:19Not to sleep for now.
16:20The lights are fading out.
16:21Thanks for coming, Pat McAfee, and mercifully, this one.
16:24Trying to find out of this.
16:27Pat said he was trying to talk.
16:28Pin him, one, two, three, just end this thing.
16:31Just end it.
16:32Cole, you're appealing for...
16:34Untha's mind is a compassion-free zone at this.
16:37He's made his point.
16:39You're appealing to logic, but it's falling on deaf ears.
16:42Okay.
16:43no i kicked you off end this match now and be done with it all
