00:00:00He is beyond reproach from mere mortals on the desk like us, and here we go.
00:00:05The lights are fading out. Thanks for coming, Pat McAfee, and mercifully, this one is on its way to being...
00:00:13Oh, wait, no! Pat's trying to fight out of this. Pat said he was trying to talk to some people about how to get out of this hole.
00:00:20Another German suplex to McAfee.
00:00:23Okay, hand him one, two, three. Just end this thing. Just end it.
00:00:28Cole, you're appealing for compassion. He's made his point. I get you.
00:00:32Comfort's mind is a compassion-free zone at this point.
00:00:37The guy that... He's made his point.
00:00:40You're appealing to logic, but it's falling on deaf ears.
00:00:43Okay.
00:00:49No, I ticked you off. End this match now, and be done with it all.
00:00:57You have to bite your tongue when you're in close proximity to Gunther at the moment.
00:01:03I'm just asking to end the match, Wade. I get it. I'm not saying anything.
00:01:06I get it.
00:01:08This has never been about the one, two, three for Gunther.
00:01:11He knows he's got that in the bag whenever he feels like it.
00:01:14This is now a public spectacle.
00:01:16Public flogging is what it is.
00:01:21Come on, Pat!
00:01:25They're trying to...
00:01:26Pat's trying to hang on.
00:01:28Fans coming to life here.
00:01:29Pat's trying to stick in this thing.
00:01:32Elbow well placed. Here comes Pat.
00:01:34Come on, Pat.
00:01:35Little rally here.
00:01:36Little rally.
00:01:38You've been against the wall before.
00:01:39You've been against the wall before.
00:01:40Come on.
00:01:40The gun was wrong.
00:01:41Come on, Pat!
00:01:42McAfee landed on his feet.
00:01:45Gunther from behind.
00:01:46Pat lands on his feet again.
00:01:48Takes right to the spine.
00:01:49Here comes McAfee.
00:01:50Come on, Pat!
00:01:51Come on, Pat!
00:01:52Come on!
00:01:54Do something here!
00:01:55Punch to the jaw!
00:01:56Cover!
00:01:57Cover!
00:01:58And a kick out!
00:02:00And Gunther quickly back to his feet and right in McAfee's face.
00:02:02Good job.
00:02:03Pat McAfee has a foot like a traction engine
00:02:06capable of an 85-yard punt
00:02:09and it just bounced up the steel jaw of Gunther.
00:02:13We knew this wasn't going to be pretty.
00:02:15It wasn't going to be a five-star wrestling match.
00:02:17It was going to be a business fight.
00:02:19And now Gunther begging for more from Pat.
00:02:21And Pat delivering chop after chop.
00:02:23Won by Gunther again.
00:02:25Pat still on his feet.
00:02:26How much does Pat have left?
00:02:28That was a big chop by Pat.
00:02:29Pat still on his feet.
00:02:30Still hanging in there.
00:02:31Pat giving it everything he has.
00:02:33Big right.
00:02:34Come on, Pat!
00:02:34Pat McAfee has already blown away expectations.
00:02:39Pat, you've already morally won this.
00:02:41I completely agree.
00:02:42My job!
00:02:43And McAfee's still in this.
00:02:44Swagging it away with Gunther.
00:02:46Pat McAfee may have the upper hand here.
00:02:48And Gunther's covering up!
00:02:49And Pat!
00:02:50Oh my God!
00:02:51Big kick!
00:02:51Gunther's in trouble again!
00:02:53McAfee again with a super kick!
00:02:55Gunther's wobbling!
00:02:57Finish the job, Pat!
00:02:58Oh, caught.
00:02:59And now Gunther's going for a powerbomb on McAfee
00:03:02and he delivers it.
00:03:03And the damn match just ended now!
00:03:05Enough of this!
00:03:06End the match!
00:03:07You got him beat!
00:03:09Enough of it!
00:03:10You got him beat!
00:03:11Well, Gunther getting wobbled there
00:03:13might be as good as it gets for McAfee.
00:03:15And now the torturous Boston Crabb
00:03:18applied center of the ring.
00:03:21Pat McAfee swore blind he would never tap out.
00:03:25Pat Cole!
00:03:26Sit down, Cole!
00:03:27Cole, get back here!
00:03:28What are you doing?
00:03:30Michael Cole has left it down.
00:03:31That's the absolute nutcase!
00:03:34McAfee!
00:03:35Coming back alive!
00:03:37Inches away from that barbomb,
00:03:39but the ring general Gunther transitions the hole
00:03:42are now staring into the eyes
00:03:45of Pat McAfee's best buddy,
00:03:48Michael Cole,
00:03:49continuing
00:03:50to torture Pat McAfee.
00:03:54And Cole,
00:03:54get the hell out of danger!
00:04:01Oh, God!
00:04:02I cannot help you from here!
00:04:05Oh, my God!
00:04:06That is a 58-year-old man!
00:04:16Get the hell off him, Compton!
00:04:18What the hell are you doing?
00:04:24Oh, my God!
00:04:26Oh, my God!
00:04:28Get on him, McAfee!
00:04:31Well, mercifully,
00:04:32somehow Michael Cole has scrabbled out of there
00:04:35as Gunther's still in hot pursuit.
00:04:41Turns his back on Pat McAfee
00:04:43with the O'Connor roll!
00:04:44Oh!
00:04:45Two-champ!
00:04:48Almost the biggest shock
00:04:50of all time in this industry,
00:04:52and Michael Cole still in too close proximity
00:04:55to Gunther as this match continues.
00:05:00Cole grabbing the foot!
00:05:02Rebust!
00:05:02Oh, lateral press!
00:05:05Two and three quarters!
00:05:09And Gunther now furious,
00:05:12completely enraged,
00:05:14focused on Michael Cole,
00:05:15sleeping on my eye!
00:05:17Sleeper locked in deep
00:05:18on the ring general!
00:05:21Is Gunther gonna fade?
00:05:22Escapes!
00:05:22Massive lariat connected with the jaw of Pat McAfee!
00:05:29And once again,
00:05:31the class,
00:05:32the power,
00:05:33the strength
00:05:33of this Austrian destroyer
00:05:36coming to the full!
00:05:38And Pat McAfee is now being put to the sword!
00:05:41There's simply no way I'll give up Pat!
00:05:48And Pat McAfee somehow continuing to attempt
00:05:52to fight through this!
00:05:54The inevitable
00:05:55demise of Gunther getting the hocks in deep!
00:05:59The fun is truly over!
00:06:01Pat McAfee's face turning!
00:06:04Pugh's getting their referee and just end this damn thing!
00:06:07Oh, God, Pat!
00:06:13Well, it's miraculous!
00:06:17And Pat McAfee
00:06:19summoning strength
00:06:20from God knows where,
00:06:21fighting out of this!
00:06:24With his face turned
00:06:25and completely inhuman shape!
00:06:31Just end it, Pat!
00:06:33Give up!
00:06:33Give up!
00:06:33Give up!
00:06:35Give up!
00:06:36His eyes dark like this
00:06:40and that is over!
00:06:43Get Pat McAfee
00:06:44some medical attention immediately!
00:06:46Here is your winner!
00:06:48The ring kettle!
00:06:51Conter!
00:06:56While comfort beats
00:06:58Pat McAfee here at Backlash
00:07:00which should come as a surprise to nobody!
00:07:04But the Cubs,
00:07:04the resolve,
00:07:06the effort
00:07:07from Pat McAfee
00:07:08is something
00:07:09I will be applauding
00:07:10until the end of my days!
00:07:14And even Gunther,
00:07:17the indomitable force
00:07:19seems astounded
00:07:21that it took him
00:07:23ratcheting up
00:07:24through the gears
00:07:25to put away
00:07:26Pat McAfee
00:07:27a mere announcer
00:07:28here in WWE!
00:07:28A mere announcer here
00:07:28in WWE!
00:07:29A mere announcer here
00:07:30in WWE!
00:07:39But the danger
00:07:41is truly still present!
00:07:42Watch yourself, lads!
00:07:43The name of the world is
00:07:45and the end of this
00:07:47is for the
00:07:48of the city
00:07:48so that you can
00:07:48...
00:08:21Wow.
00:08:23A rare, rare show of respect from one of the greatest this industry has ever seen, Pat McAfee.
00:08:32We are so proud of you.
00:08:33What an effort.
00:08:36And how much abuse did Pat McAfee force himself through this agonizing Boston crowd?
00:08:42Desperately well done by Michael Cole, who left the desk, has called to continue to talk.
00:08:48Michael Cole, such a way to get dragged in the ring, he had to scratch and open in a brief window for McAfee to pull off the ultimate of shot.
00:08:57This is Michael Cole holding the leg of the ring general.
00:09:00Perhaps the greatest chance McAfee had of pulling off that all-timer shot.
00:09:05It wasn't quite enough.
00:09:07And as the sleeper was hopped in, a reversal immediately from Gunther following this clubbing-like lariat.
00:09:14And the sleeper locked in the hocks deep.
00:09:20Pat McAfee fading.
00:09:22The eyes turning to dark pits.
00:09:25And finally getting thrown out.
00:09:27I...
00:09:28Pat McAfee, that was absolutely incredible.
00:09:36A wow-deserved standing ovation for a man who performed above and beyond this evening of Backlash.
00:09:52Thank you, Pat McAfee.
00:09:53And as we try and catch our breath here, let's go and take a special look at the new movie Karate Kid Legacy, starring Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan.
00:10:11Two legends unite.
00:10:12You knew Mr. Miyagi?

00:10:22Lee needs help.

00:11:34And WWE Money in the Bay.
00:11:36The opportunity of a lifetime!
00:11:37Rise above the rest.
00:11:43WWE Worlds Collide and Money in the Bank in Los Angeles, June 7th.
00:11:48Individual event tickets on sale now.
00:11:56I knew Pat McAfee was crazy, but you showed me something else there, Cole.
00:11:59How are you feeling?
00:12:00I'm good.
00:12:02Feel for Pat.
00:12:03But, listen, I said this a couple of weeks ago.
00:12:05I'm not going to let a guy like Gunther stop me from doing my job.
00:12:09And I've got to call one of the biggest main events in history coming up, so I'm going to be here to do my job.
00:12:14So let's get to work.
00:12:15WWE is coming to L.A. on Saturday, June 7th with Worlds Collide.
00:12:20That's at the Kia Forum.
00:12:22And Money in the Bank at the Intuit Dome.
00:12:24Individual event tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:12:28There's going to be plenty to talk about tonight on the Backlash Kickoff Show here in St. Louis.
00:12:36Takes place immediately following our upcoming main event.
00:12:40Of course, Triple H will be a part of that show.
00:12:42You see some of the other stars will be involved.
00:12:44Jackie, Biggie, and Peter taking over the festivities from there as soon as our main event is done tonight.
00:12:52You know, Wheatley American Vodka and WWE are proud to be joined tonight by Technical Sergeant Michael Perkins
00:12:57from the USO and Scott Air Force Base right here outside of St. Louis.
00:13:01Wheatley raises a glass to Technical Sergeant Perkins and all retired and active members of the U.S. military for your service.
00:13:09Final time of the night, we're going to show you some comparisons between two all-time greats and John Cena.
00:13:13And Randy Orton combined 31 world titles.
00:13:21Another 15 other championships.
00:13:23Both have won Money in the Bank's Bolton Royal Rumbles as well.
00:13:26But tonight, it is a rivalry reborn.
00:13:29For over two decades, two Titans have defined era after era.
00:13:33John Cena defends the 17th championship against Randy Orton here in Orton's hometown of St. Louis.
00:13:37Can the Viper slay one more legend on his quest to regain the title?
00:13:41Or will Cena's destructive farewell tour march on?
00:13:44Cena and Orton for the undisputed WWE Championship.
00:13:54Winner's right history.
00:13:58Cena is a 17-time world champion!
00:14:02When that hits zero, the title comes home with me!
00:14:10There is no one in the WWE with the strength, the wisdom, or the ruthless aggression!
00:14:20The last real champ is here!
00:14:28RKO!
00:14:30Out of nowhere!
00:14:32I have known you for 25 years!
00:14:40Cena is a 17-time world champion!
00:14:44When that hits zero, the title comes home with me!
00:14:52There is no one in the WWE with the strength, the wisdom, or the ruthless aggression!
00:15:01The last real champ, the last real champ, the last real champ, is here!
00:15:09RKO!
00:15:11Oh, out of nowhere!
00:15:13Out of nowhere!
00:15:13I have known you for 25 years!
00:15:21If you look at that class, OVW, back in 2002, we were looking at the future of WWE.
00:15:28Randy Orton and John Cena are amazing to watch rise together.
00:15:33As a child, you would wait and watch for far away.
00:15:38But you always knew that you'd be the one that worked while they all play.
00:15:44And you'd get laid awake at night and scheme.
00:15:51One of the youngest, most charismatic WWE superstars is going to ascend to greatness.
00:15:56He's done it!
00:15:58He's done it!
00:16:11The youngest 14th time world champion!
00:16:14World champion in history!
00:16:15Randy Orton vs. John Cena has become the rivalry.
00:16:28What magic they made when they were in there together.
00:16:31Nothing comes close to them.
00:16:33Randy and John brought out the best in one another.
00:16:37Randy Orton and John Cena were on parallel roads.
00:16:40Both of those guys wanted the exact same thing.
00:16:42And that's to be the biggest star this business has ever seen.
00:17:00I am going to ruin wrestling for everyone.
00:17:05In this weird, bizarre world where I'm a good guy and you're a bad guy.
00:17:09I figured out, you are the latest legend that I have to put down.
00:17:17Put that title on the line and fight me!
00:17:20Come on!
00:17:23Randy Orton vs. John Cena.
00:17:26You're not going to ruin wrestling.
00:17:28Not over my dead body.
00:17:30What I am trying to do, Randy Orton, is when I leave here,
00:17:35three generations of your family is erased.
00:17:42How dare you say that to me after everything I've been through!
00:17:45How dare you!
00:17:52Randy Orton does not believe that John Cena is the last real champion!
00:17:58It is a real champion.
00:18:20It is a real champion.
00:18:21You can't judge.
00:18:22This is a real champion.
00:18:23We have to change.
00:18:24You can't judge.
00:18:24We have to change.
00:18:25We have to change.
00:18:26We have to change.
00:18:26Remember, we have to change.
00:18:27I am more than a man
00:18:30I am more than a man
00:18:32I am more than a man
00:26:40Randy Orton.
00:26:42And his opponent.
00:26:44And his opponent.
00:26:46And his opponent.
00:26:48And his opponent.
00:26:56He is the greatest.
00:26:58He is the greatest.
00:27:00He is the greatest.
00:27:02The greatest.
00:27:04The greatest.
00:27:08The greatest.
00:27:10The greatest.
00:27:12He is the greatest.
00:27:14He is the greatest.
00:27:19He is the greatest.
00:27:21He is the greatest.
00:27:23He is the greatest.
00:27:25The champion, John Cena!
00:27:37Alicia Taylor giving us that big fight feel here tonight.
00:27:44It was August 9th of 2001.
00:27:48Randy Orton and John Cena met for the very first time in a one-on-one match
00:27:53at an independent show called the Brian Pillman Memorial
00:27:57back before they were a part of WWE.
00:28:01They would meet for the first time in OVW, Ohio Valley Wrestling, back in 2002.
00:28:09They would go on to meet many times over the years
00:28:11in matches that have branched from SummerSlam to WrestleMania
00:28:15to Triple Threats to I-Qits to Tables, Ladders, and Chairs
00:28:21into a 60-minute Iron Man match.
00:28:24They are dead even when it comes to wins and losses.
00:28:27And if this is the final time that these two ever meet,
00:28:30I can truly say that I've been honored and privileged
00:28:33to call many of these matches, and I'm sure in this match,
00:28:37for the undisputed WWE Championship,
00:28:39that Randy Orton and John Cena will tear the house down once again.
00:28:44And we start off with a collar and elbow tie-up.
00:28:49Wade, the key for Randy Orton to win his 15th World Championship.
00:28:52Well, he needs to tap into that unadulterated hometown energy
00:28:58that is backing their boy here in St. Louis,
00:29:01all the way to number 15.
00:29:04What about for John Cena, the record-setting 17-time World Champion?
00:29:09Well, John Cena needs to tap into that bitter, resentful side
00:29:13that we saw at WrestleMania,
00:29:14the one that led him all the way to victory over Cody Rhodes,
00:29:18the one that led him to that record 17-time World Championship.
00:29:23Yet, John Cena, in a nutshell, needs to take every shortcut
00:29:27and every low road available to him this evening.
00:29:30You know, 17,000-plus tonight.
00:29:36You know, a lot has been made, of course,
00:29:38of the history that John Cena made at WrestleMania, 17th World Title.
00:29:42Ric Flair, of course, now sits in second place with 16 World Championships.
00:29:48Third on that list.
00:29:49Time for third.
00:29:50Is this man, Randy Orton, in the Hall of Famer Triple H with 14, Wade?
00:29:58An incredible feat.
00:30:00Well, I had a good chat with Randy Orton.
00:30:03We saw it on our pre-show.
00:30:04Randy Orton claims he's got at least 10 years left in his body.
00:30:08If he makes this number 15, then 17 will become tantalizingly close.
00:30:13You know what?
00:30:14I was sort of expecting that.
00:30:16John Cena, obviously, with his cheap little slap.
00:30:19That was just to play mind games.
00:30:21He knew it wasn't going to hurt Randy.
00:30:22Randy, who may be in the best shape of his life.
00:30:25He goes a poke in the eye.
00:30:26Oh!
00:30:27A payback!
00:30:27And official Chad Patton going to let a little bit go here tonight, as well he should.
00:30:32And let me tell you, Cole, the difference at WrestleMania is that Cody Rhodes refused to take that low road with John Cena.
00:30:40He was too morally pure, and it came back to bite him.
00:30:43Randy Orton, historically, has had no issue whatsoever in taking whatever low road is available.
00:30:50All bets are off now, and I like that for Randy Orton.
00:30:52And here's Cena now, back center of the ring.
00:30:55You know, for Randy Orton, I've said many, many times over the years, he has absolutely no absence of malice.
00:31:02He doesn't like anybody.
00:31:03And despite his growing popularity over the years, he's still the same old Randy Orton, Wade.
00:31:09Yeah, the personality doesn't change.
00:31:11Sometimes they love him, sometimes they hate him, but innately inside Randy Orton, there are those sadistic voices turning him to the dark side.
00:31:21And that is a massive benefit to Orton tonight, if he's going to dethrone the so-called last real chap.
00:31:29He had a tremendous sit-down interview with Randy on the countdown show, Wade.
00:31:33He's very open in a lot of the things that he talked about.
00:31:36Yeah, and I'll tell you right now, this is by far the most mature version of Randy Orton I have ever seen.
00:31:41Oh, truly is, in 2025, the locker room leader that John Cena never was during his time on top.
00:31:49Well, I mean, you would know better than I would, since you spent time in the locker room, but I'm not sure if I agree with that statement.
00:31:55I think many people would believe Cena was a locker room leader for much of his career.
00:31:59I completely dispute that.
00:32:00I think John Cena was about one man and one man only, and Randy actually echoed that in my interview with him throughout his career on top.
00:32:07John Cena put himself first and foremost, whereas somebody like Randy Orton is consistently giving back.
00:32:13This is also coming from the guy that headed up a group that tried to end John Cena's career.
00:32:17In fact, you had a match with Randy Orton at one point, but John Cena was forced to be the referee in that match because of this whole silly Nexus situation you were involved in.
00:32:25There's nothing silly about the Nexus.
00:32:27I was a young guy trying to punch up and make a name for myself.
00:32:30That's all that was.
00:32:31You can't play with young guys taking shortcuts like that.
00:32:35But Randy Orton is a man who certainly doesn't need any shortcuts this evening.
00:32:40Physically built to perfection.
00:32:41And now John Cena has taken a stroll.
00:32:45You would have never seen this out of the old John Cena.
00:32:47Whatever happened to the hustle and loyalty and the respect and the never give up attitude of this man.
00:32:53John Cena notes physically he cannot match the absolute best, so he has to take these shortcuts on Randy Orton.
00:33:00He said, hell no, you ain't getting away that easy.
00:33:02Randy Orton is...
00:33:03He wants an opportunity at the championship.
00:33:06Of course, he has to pin or submit, John, for that to happen.
00:33:09Interesting interview in Billboard magazine with Randy Orton.
00:33:13Among the subjects they talked about was the fact that...
00:33:16And here's Cena now in the clothesline.
00:33:18Was the fact that Randy finds himself in this unfamiliar position of getting cheered.
00:33:23When it always used to be Cena getting cheered when he faced Orton in the past.
00:33:26Yeah, it's unadulterated at this point.
00:33:28And let me tell you, the entire locker room in WWE is completely united behind Randy Orton.
00:33:35This spiteful megalomaniac that 2025 John Cena has become.
00:33:41He does not own the history and the legacy of this company.
00:33:45And that championship that he's currently in possession of.
00:33:48And since he's gone outside.
00:33:49And that is a massive benefit to Orton tonight if he's going to dethrone the so-called last real champ.
00:33:58He had a tremendous sit-down interview with Randy on the countdown show, Wade.
00:34:02Very open in a lot of the things that he talked about.
00:34:04Yeah, and I'll tell you right now.
00:34:06This is by far the most mature version of Randy Orton I have ever seen.
00:34:10Oh!
00:34:10Truly is, in 2025, the locker room leader that John Cena never was during his time on top.
00:34:18Well, I mean, you would know better than I would since you spent time in the locker room.
00:34:22But I'm not sure if I agree with that statement.
00:34:24I think many people would believe Cena was a locker room leader for much of his career.
00:34:27I completely dispute that.
00:34:29I think John Cena was about one man and one man only.
00:34:32And Randy actually echoed that in my interview with him throughout his career on top.

00:34:39Whereas somebody like Randy Orton is consistently giving back.

00:34:54There's nothing silly about the Nexus.
00:34:56I was a young guy trying to punch up and make a name for myself.
00:34:59That's all that was.
00:34:59You can't blame young guys taking shortcuts like that.
00:35:04But Randy Orton is a man who certainly doesn't need any shortcuts this evening.
00:35:08Physically built to perfection.
00:35:10And now John Cena has taken a stroll.
00:35:14You would have never seen this out of the old John Cena.
00:35:16Whatever happened to the hustle of loyalty and the respect and the never give up attitude of this man.
00:35:22John Cena knows physically he cannot match the absolute best.
00:35:25So he has to take these shortcuts.
00:35:27And Randy Orton is saying, hell no, you ain't getting away that easy.
00:35:31Randy Orton is...
00:35:33He wants an opportunity at the championship.
00:35:35Of course, he has to pin or submit John for that to happen.
00:35:38An interesting interview in Billboard magazine with Randy Orton.
00:35:42Among the subjects they talked about was the fact that...
00:35:45And here's Cena now with a clothesline.
00:35:47Was the fact that Randy finds himself in this unfamiliar position of getting cheered.
00:35:52When it always used to be Cena getting cheered when he faced Orton in the past.
00:35:55Yeah, it's unadulterated at this point.
00:35:57And let me tell you, the entire locker room in WWE is completely united behind Randy Orton.
00:36:03And this spiteful megalomaniac that 2025 John Cena has become.
00:36:09He does not own the history and the legacy of this company.
00:36:14And that championship that he's currently in possession of.
00:36:17Or since he's going to retire with it, because he's the, quote, last real champion.
00:36:21Two, three, four, five, six.
00:36:27Still impressed with the shape that John's able to maintain with the schedule that he has.
00:36:31Dude, I can't lose a pound if I try.
00:36:37Physically incredible shape is John Cena.
00:36:41And he showed that he absolutely does not have that ring rust at WrestleMania 41.
00:36:45One, five, six, seven, eight, five, six, seven, one, thirty, four, three, four, four, three, four, five, four, five, six, seven, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten.
00:37:0117,000 plus in St. Louis in unison.
00:37:05Standing along with Randy's punches.
00:37:06Give him 20 more please, Randy Orton.
00:37:10And Cena now on jelly legs.
00:37:12not a good place to be when you're in that kind of proximity to a man as dangerous as randy or
00:37:19cover by randy on cena and cena kicks it too randy knew he wasn't going to pick up the win
00:37:25there that was more psychological than anything else well that's the methodical pacing that has
00:37:30made randy or one of the absolute greatest of all time and now that carving stomp being targeted
00:37:37across the frame of johnson i think we've named it the orton stomp by now and wait i'm old school
00:37:44pal and you mentioned this weight in the countdown i thought it was really interesting the methodical
00:37:48style of randy orton that's the style that cena worked against cody rosa at wrestlemania and it
00:37:52really helped john in that matchup but now he's in the match against a guy like orton who does the
00:37:56same thing yeah you're absolutely right so cody rosa is a much faster paced superstar than john
00:38:02cena having to be a wrestlemania 41 cody was baited into that if cena wants to take things slow
00:38:08tonight that entirely plays into the wheelhouse of the viper randy orton who looks a different class
00:38:14to the champ this evening randy with a knee to the face of cena and a kick out let's not forget
00:38:21i mean let alone the fact that his dad is a cowboy bob orton we mentioned 40 years ago this weekend the
00:38:27big match with hulk hogan at saturday night's main event but you know he also learned the trade and
00:38:33all the tricks in the book from not only triple h but the nature boy the dirtiest player in the history
00:38:39of the sport as part of evolution and we talked about that low road no finer shooters in history
00:38:46to give you a roadmap on how to excel on that low road and drop the hammer at the right time against
00:38:54john cena who certainly is not going to give up easily in this one yeah cedar looking for a sleeper
00:38:59now on orton got him caught center of the ring not sure if john has it all and now he might
00:39:03john putting his entire pressure on the body of randy randy's massive frame able to hold john up at
00:39:10least momentarily but john trying to wrestle him down to the mat yeah we saw that montage of the
00:39:14history between these two you can see from the frame alone how much the physique of randy has changed
00:39:19over the years once upon a time he made well of collapse when john cena was on his back not here
00:39:24uh-oh now he's stronger yeah the viper wrapping himself around john cena more like a chin lock
00:39:32applied here wrestling john down to the mat now to one knee randy done a hell of a job of keeping his
00:39:39ego and his anger intact so far now john turns it around to a sleeper of his own now remember this is
00:39:45seen his first title defense since he won the championship at wrestlemania he's not had a match
00:39:49since then randy orton now locks up john again and now john into one of his own well these two know
00:39:57each other so so well and that back suplex brings both men down in the center of the ring again senior
00:40:05official chad patton working this match tonight it's going to be incredibly difficult for either one of
00:40:12these two to catch the other by surprise this evening you know wade we talked earlier no one
00:40:17ever thought that someone would would knock off the 16 time world championship record held by flair
00:40:24cena did it now people are talking about the fact that nobody's ever going to get to 17
00:40:28but if orton's talking about hanging around another 10 years he may do that yeah it's only randy orton
00:40:33who's in with any form of chance right now that's for sure shoulder tackle now by cena orton goes down
00:40:40again and john and there's that spin slam by cena and john cena's got where he wants him
00:40:46will he give these fans what they want muscle memory for cena and hats off the scene and not even breathing
00:40:53mockingly
00:41:02and now john with the five knuckle shuffle across the forehead of orton well he's a knob but he's
00:41:10absolutely capable of tapping into that historical best and here we go gold tina looking for an a
00:41:16orton who's able to slip out from behind randy now with the clothesline now orton something to pick up
00:41:21the pace it is may it is the final number of months of john cena's legendary career he wants to retire as
00:41:30champion orton has something to say about it tonight it's all about tapping into historical best
00:41:36randy orton doing what he does like nobody else and cena's in trouble here he's been in this position
00:41:43before
00:41:44it's a draping ddt but oh cena great move cena rolling up orton here and again these guys know each
00:41:52other so well wait yeah when you know that now cena looking for the stfu
00:41:56randy blocking it so so well keep those hands where they are randy john trying to lock it in but
00:42:03randy orton able to block at least momentarily john's able to slip it in there though he doesn't
00:42:09have all of it as orton now tries to drag john to the rope yeah cena desperately trying to
00:42:13re-impact and stretch that spine of randy orton but randy perhaps at this point at least too powerful
00:42:20to alarm to do so john cena realizing that looks to grab it and drag working back through the middle
00:42:26of the ring randy creates some space we've got it stay away from the heaviest hitters and here we go
00:42:32again this time now vintage randy orton with a draping ddt and i think randy
00:42:39as he recuperates may start hearing some voices i've tasted that ddt many times from randy orton and
00:42:49things never went well in the aftermath randy shrugging off some pain in that lower back from that
00:42:56sd everton
00:42:57the viper is coiled the viper is ready to strike
00:43:11went for the rko cina block cina now with randy up on his shoulders
00:43:22attitude adjustment wait a minute
00:43:26both men down
00:43:32okay
00:43:36figure this out massive amount of effort there from johnson look at this all right there we missed it
00:43:43yes cina went for the aaa randy went for the rko and both men took each other out
00:43:50just shows you how lightning fast the reactions of randy orton are in real time
00:43:55we were oblivious to it but check the slow-mo mike on keeping himself in the match
00:44:00yeah incredible cena delivering an aaa while randy countered at the same time of the rko and
00:44:05well seen it smelled victory there but taking it away at the death is the unrepentant viper
00:44:15it's amazing and so many years of watching these two new battle and it just eats it every time it's
00:44:21just so blessed to be out here wade to watch these two all-time greats go at each other
00:44:26three most iconic professional wrestlers of this millennium and you share the one a and one b
00:44:41and a big uppercut by randy i'll tell you 17 000 plus have been invested
00:44:46and not only oh wait a minute aaa aaa by cena to retain honor cover kick out by randy
00:44:55well that time randy orton just had no answer you have to think he was
00:44:59rocked by those massive shots from john cena
00:45:04randy orton having to dig deep to protect the legacy of not only his family but his entire industry
00:45:11i was going to say 17 000 invested in every move in this match tonight in fact they've been invested
00:45:16in every move of every match tonight and what has been an incredible show
00:45:33we've had three title retention so far tonight cena trying to make it full
00:45:38and now randy orton up on his shoulders again able to use those long arms to hang on to the top rope
00:45:45and the momentum now this is wildly seen off the ropes again there's another shoulder attack with
00:45:50the randy randy oh you're out of nowhere come on randy looking for the pin here and john cena rolling out of
00:45:59harm's way randy could not capitalize oh my god john cena picking up the pace on this one randy orton with a
00:46:06desperation throw of the rko what so much has been taken out of orton and he may have got a stinger
00:46:13at some point trying to get some feeling back in the hands grabbing the neck look at this rko so
00:46:18instinctive already said precision and weight he's had neck issues back issues shoulder issues his entire
00:46:24career 25 years at the top taking on guys like john cena will do that to your frame both of these men
00:46:31right with countless injuries over the years it's astounding they can still do this at the very top
00:46:37level it's been nearly eight and a half years oh wait a minute the legend killer wants to be the goat
00:46:43killer went for the pot john cena able to counter into another a.a to retain hook of the leg orton kicks out
00:46:54wow well randy orton did promise us a couple of weeks ago he was going to connect with a pump
00:47:01to the skull of john c but excitement over committed turn his back briefly and cena was ready to pounce
00:47:09but he will do it somehow still randy orton and i'm looking over at orton in the ring it's keeping
00:47:15wriggling those fingers i don't know how much feeling is left in there big fight atmosphere 17 000 plus
00:47:22sold out st orton once again perhaps the final time for the undisputed wwe orton
00:47:29big smile on his face off the reaction of the wwe fans and orton's hometown and now john cena of his
00:47:44own randy orton moves out of harm's way randy now went for an arcana
00:47:48shoved into the official i'm not sure that was a inadvertent looked inadvertent by cena but nonetheless
00:47:55the official chad pattens down yeah that was a heavy landing for chad patten and now with chad down
00:48:01cena with a third a.a delivered to randy but john is very well aware there's no official right now yeah
00:48:06how many times do you see people dive on a pin in that situation that is 25 years of experience of
00:48:11john cena knowing full well he's gonna hide into nothing but with the referee down with the
00:48:18uh you know john is staring down at the title remember what happened at wrestlemania
00:48:24when cody rhodes wouldn't pull the trigger wouldn't use the championship
00:48:28well you can go as low as you want at this point you can't see me referee can't see why
00:48:35why why history is why that was the answer history i mean you've already made history
00:48:42yeah you made history you didn't have to act like this well he's trying to own history that's the point
00:48:46that's why he wants to retire with that championship and with the referee down randy on put
00:48:52it to rko out of nowhere by orton but again there's no official but the viper is struck cover on john
00:48:58one two three four oh the chad just came too but not enough and cena kicks out
00:49:10randy orton knew that was his opportunity and cena is now reeling well what a roller coaster
00:49:1760 seconds this was swinging back and forth both men looking to be closing in on the win
00:49:29randy's in a bad way but i think john cena is even worse off at this point oh
00:49:33chad patten i'm not even sure he can breathe
00:49:48oh boy get the hell out of the way wade
00:49:52you don't have to tell me twice oh god you remember that pent-up rage that was supposed to be
00:49:58targeted and kevin owens he didn't just dissipate it's remained and it's been refocused on john cena
00:50:05what are you talking about this man's had pent-up rage for 25 years
00:50:12randy orton is uh get out hold on oh man somebody get a doctor over here chad went head first into the
00:50:21steps yeah chad patten's gone and now john cena sending randy orton off the ring post well the
00:50:26referee chad patten was trying to play with randy orton speak some sense get him back in the ring
00:50:32and that was the moment john cena capitalized and got straight back into this and again i got to
00:50:37admit something here wade that john has been just a step quicker tonight to beat randy orton to the
00:50:44punch he's got that look on his face that he's loved every second of it so far he's trying to embarrass
00:50:49and humiliate randy orton in his hometown well he's gonna do that if you're pushing through this
00:50:54table here just to scowl and the disgusting look on the face of the disgusted look i should say on
00:51:02the face of cena and now john with randy orton up top
00:51:06focusing on the announce table now randy orton though he's got john up on his own and randy orton
00:51:14now look at this randy with an a-a to cena on top of the table with an a-a delivering to cena
00:51:25the bumper strike

00:53:43randy
00:53:51the amount of energy he's exerted this evening you can't blame him but john cena let's banter
00:54:04right to this point two tables he's been through but way there's a there's a serious problem here
00:54:10we don't have an official this has turned into an all-out street fight an absolute brawl
00:54:16referee chad patton's been down for a number of minutes he went head first into the steel steps
00:54:21well we need a contingency plan because this match is continuing well maybe general manager
00:54:26peers should think about sending another official down here it is awesome guys but
00:54:30randy's not gonna have a chance to win things if there's nobody to count
00:54:34well attack to get that point through unlimited damage
00:54:40until a referee finally shows up there's nothing stopping you guarantee victory and randy orton
00:54:49is coiled and ready to strike john cena trying to come to now trying to make it back to his feet
00:54:54orton is primed and ready randy orton now rk on a cedar
00:54:59forehead to cover wait a minute look who's coming look who's coming look who's coming
00:55:05official in the arena into the ring
00:55:07not quite quick enough for randy orton but we've got another official in the ring
00:55:13well the frustration is palpable inside this arena the hometown boy had it won
00:55:21but somehow i'll give all the credit in the world after going through two tables and tasting an rko
00:55:29john cena refuses to die
00:55:31and now as randy talks to the official john cena stalking him from behind
00:55:45oh the championship bounced off the face
00:55:49oh ko the official's down again randy orton's got the damn championship won
00:55:55again and again there's no official

00:56:09trying to get the official uh eddie rangle to come to
00:56:12i'll tell you right now i've seen many championship shots to the cranium in my time
00:56:17that was about as hard a hit as i have ever seen
00:56:21i'm not surprised as this was focused on the referee who's down
00:56:25and randy of course must straighten he had this one
00:56:28of course he did now he's uh yelling at aldis the general manager
00:56:32get another referee nick
00:56:34many left
00:56:37after seeing two carcasses of referees who complained nobody else would want it to run down

00:56:48another rko it's an rko party in st louis
00:56:53a frustrated with rko after rko
00:56:58there are bodies everywhere
00:57:02carnage at the hands of a completely out of his mind
00:57:08randy orton
00:57:09bodies everywhere and now voices ringing in the ears of the sadistic psychopath
00:57:14and they can blame randy orton for losing his right at this point
00:57:24ah he had the title won in a number of times in this match
00:57:27john cena is defenseless in the corner
00:57:30randy orton is backing up into position
00:57:33he tried to do this earlier tonight
00:57:35i mentioned the legend killer
00:57:37for many years punted legends
00:57:39one final legend to kill
00:57:43whoa whoa whoa
00:57:48what the hell are you doing truth
00:57:50r-truth
00:57:51coming to the aid of his long time
00:57:54rko
00:57:56truth a long time fan of cena's
00:58:00coming out here to defend john
00:58:03low blow
00:58:03that's r-truth's fault
00:58:06no i mean
00:58:09r-truth lives in a alternative reality
00:58:13he did come out here because he's a fan of john's
00:58:15but the problem now off the low blow
00:58:18cena has the championship gold in hand again
00:58:20right off the skull of orton
00:58:22he gets rid of the evidence
00:58:24into the cover
00:58:26again no official but
00:58:28coming to and dragging himself into the ring
00:58:30is chad pat
00:58:31pat's back into the ring
00:58:33the cover now by cena
00:58:34randy orton is down and out
00:58:36and john cena retains the damn championship
00:58:39here is your winner
00:58:45and still the undisputed
00:58:50wwe champion
00:58:53john cena
00:58:59i don't even know what to say anymore
00:59:01except the fact that the old john cena never
00:59:05in a million years
00:59:07would have taken a victory like that
00:59:10well this which is which is what made him special
00:59:12wade that is what made john cena special
00:59:15well you're a reformed fanboy like a lot of people at this point
00:59:19but this is the most desperate
00:59:20soulless john cena we have ever seen
00:59:24but crucially
00:59:24that's irrelevant right now
00:59:26what is relevant
00:59:28is that john cena is still the champ
00:59:31well he wants to uh retire the title
00:59:35the last real champion in his mind
00:59:38and i mean
00:59:39well this was the second referee
00:59:43who got fouled
00:59:44eddie orengo championship
00:59:46shot to the skull
00:59:47connected with a flush rko
00:59:50and randy had this one
00:59:51this is the moment
00:59:52this place should have come unglued
00:59:54and randy should have been the 15th time world champion
00:59:58now randy's gonna suffer a lot of fines after
01:00:00the carnage he left
01:00:02as his uh
01:00:03oh his frustration
01:00:05just an rko party
01:00:07and he won
01:00:08in reasonable range took one
01:00:11our producers
01:00:13our executives
01:00:14jamie noble face first
01:00:16bouncing off the mat
01:00:18and this was when randy orton lined up the ponts and it should have been executed
01:00:23that was the kill shot
01:00:24oh r-truth out here
01:00:26to save his long time uh
01:00:28oh buddy i guess
01:00:30always a fan of cena
01:00:31and of course with the officials still out that was delivered below low weight and then it was just a
01:00:36that distraction from r-truth open the window for john cena to do the dastardly
01:00:43take it as low as you want and randy orton at this point with that championship shot
01:00:47he's out completely cold you hope beyond hope there would be some way he could kick out of this
01:00:53you know what the three count was in
01:00:56you know what makes me so angry about all this is the fact that that was a great match
01:01:03john put on a hell of a show
