00:00So, what do we want to talk about?
00:07Cody Rhodes, the face of WWE's modern era.
00:11Once undesirable, become undeniable, and now WWE Champion!
00:23The American Nightmare is truly the definition of the word superstar.
00:27I gave my soul to this ring and these people a long time ago.
00:35The son of a Hall of Famer is well on his way to becoming one himself.
00:39He is one. He is the American Nightmare.
00:42Today, we celebrate the career-defining moments of Cody Rhodes.
00:46Cody Rhodes has gone back-to-back!
00:49This is WWE's Greatest Moments.
00:57Oh, God!
00:58No call to the fair man!
01:00This is surreal!
01:03Look at this!
01:04He's landed!
01:11Welcome, everyone, to WWE's Greatest Moments.
01:14I'm Michael Cole.
01:16And on this edition, we take a look back at one of the premier superstars of sports entertainment today.
01:21The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes.
01:24Cody began his WWE journey in 2007, and audiences were immediately impressed by the son of WWE Hall of Famer, the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.
01:34It wouldn't take long for Cody Rhodes to carve out his own path to greatness, but there was one point in his young career where his ego may have gotten the better of him.
01:43The narcissistic, dashing Cody Rhodes never met a mirror he didn't like.
01:48Dashing.
01:49But tragedy struck on an episode of SmackDown, when Rey Mysterio broke the nose of the dashing one, leaving Cody less than perfect.
02:00Rey Mysterio shattering Cody Rhodes' face, causing Rhodes to have reconstructive surgery, forcing him to wear a hideous mask.
02:07He's no longer dashing.
02:08It's a singles match on a pay-per-view at WrestleMania. It's also my first singles match on a pay-per-view.
02:14It was a banger. It was a doozy.
02:15All that anger just pouring out of Rhodes tonight, directed at Mysterio.
02:21We connected right away, and WrestleMania 27 was a really fun match.
02:27Precarious situation here for both these superstars.
02:30Wow! And now Cody Rhodes gets the best of it!
02:32Really all came together for me, and as a performer, know right away, we were on something.
02:38Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh!
02:40No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
02:42Oh, wait a second. Cody's mask is off.
02:45Cody Rhodes' face has been exposed.
02:47Yeah, he's vulnerable. Cody is very vulnerable.
02:50And here comes Rey Mysterio.
02:52Ooh!
02:53The referee's attention was averted.
02:56Yes, Crossroads! Crossroads!
03:00Retribution for Cody!
03:01Cody wanted to create his own path, and that was a great beginning for him.
03:08The contributions of the Rhodes family cannot be denied.
03:11With the American dream Dusty Rhodes as the patriarch, and his brother Goldust,
03:15the strength of Cody's family were never tighter than in 2013,
03:19when their very livelihoods were threatened by the authority and the hounds of justice, the Shields.
03:25Cody, you're fired.
03:31We'd like to give you the opportunity to gain your employment if you can beat Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns at Battleground.
03:41If you lose, you will never work in the WWE again.
03:48The legacy of the Rhodes family is at stake.
03:51The Rhodes family walked in the battleground against the Shield, which nobody had beaten.
03:56It was very emotional and real.
03:58There was something about the energy of potentially never being able to step foot in the WWE again if we did not succeed,
04:05and then getting our jobs back if we did.
04:07It is a must-win situation for Cody and Goldust tonight.
04:12We just had a great chemistry with him for whatever reason.
04:15Oh, look at this!
04:16Alabama slam!
04:17To be out there not only judged by the entire arena,
04:21but to be judged by luminary individuals like my brother and my father.
04:26The American dream!
04:28The bionic elbow!
04:30And we're up to the legal man, Rollins and Cody.
04:32Rollins looking to steal one.
04:34Cody not this way!
04:35Cody stays in it!
04:36It's up to you, Cody!
04:37Cody stays in it!
04:38It's up to you, Cody!
04:39Cody's got him!
04:40Crossroads!
04:41Crossroads!
04:42It's for your family!
04:44The Rhodes have done it!
04:45Tony and Dustin are going back to work!
04:48Battleground with my two kids.
04:50Mostly that night I was drained.
04:52That was the most real emotion, raw emotion that I ever had in my life.
04:56That night in Buffalo was a really special, special night.
04:59It was just a beautiful experience.
05:01And to be carrying the torch for the family.
05:03It's one of the most blessed things I was ever part of.
05:09The Judgment Day has certainly left their mark in the last few years
05:12as one of the most lethal, dominant factions of the modern era.
05:16The best course of action is to stay on their good side.
05:18I want Main Event Jeyus on the Judgment Day.
05:21And when Main Event Jeyus refused to join them,
05:23the group let him know he had made a huge mistake.
05:27Cody Rhodes going after the Judgment Day!
05:29Coming to the rescue was none other than Cody Rhodes,
05:32leading to Fastlane 2023,
05:34when the unlikely pair took on Finn Balor and Damian Priest
05:36for the Undisputed Tag Team Titles.
05:42And here we go now for the Undisputed Tag Team Titles.
05:47Jey and Cody, two individual guys.
05:50Cody and Jey have been adversaries most of their career together.
05:54And it was lightning in a bottle.
05:56Uso and Cody, obviously a game plan coming into this match.
05:59Anything that could get the fans excited to scream and yell,
06:02that's what we live for.
06:04Here comes Jey!
06:05Double-team!
06:08Cody Cutter!
06:11We got new Tag Team Champions!
06:15That's a special moment, man.
06:17What a team to be a part of, man.
06:19And I gotta sit back and appreciate everything.
06:23And the celebration now underway.
06:28Still to come.
06:29Cody fired up!
06:30Cody Rhodes has turned into a madman!
06:33Big Nap!
06:37At the return of Saturday night's main event in December of 2024,
06:41Kevin Owens failed to capture the WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes,
06:45who in retro form was defending the famed Winged Eagle title.
06:49Raged by the loss, Owens delivered a devastating package pile driver to the champ,
06:54putting him out of action for weeks.
06:55This lunatic, Kevin Owens!
06:57What the hell is wrong with you?
06:59So the rematch was set to take place at the 2025 Royal Rumble in a ladder match.
07:04Both titles would be hung high above the ring.
07:06The superstar that retrieved them would be declared champion.
07:09There are over 70,000 people at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
07:17Cody Rhodes is the champion.
07:19Kevin Owens is the challenger.
07:21Cody and Kevin's ladder match brought like four or five different moments throughout the match
07:25where I was visibly and audibly asking people around me, are they okay?
07:29They are determined on punishing each other.
07:33I had seen ladder matches before, but never to the extent was the ladder used like those two used it.
07:40He's taking a beating tonight.
07:43Cody, he's the face of a company.
07:46To be at this point in his life and take the physical risks that he takes, it's crazy.
07:53There's going to be those matches that require you to do something that scares you to death.
08:01Fischerman Buster to the ladder!
08:04Nothing more real than that.
08:06Looking for that package pile driver.
08:11Kevin Owens turned inside out!
08:14I think the very end is probably going to be a big reason why people are going to talk about it for a long time
08:18because he tried to decapitate me.
08:20Cody Rhodes wins!
08:21One of the most sickening matches we have ever witnessed.
08:25There are certain scenes in WWE that you will never forget.
08:29Cody Rhodes is celebrating in the near distance and Kevin Owens is there suffering.
08:35What an image.
08:39As WWE continues to grow and expand into our international markets,
08:43there was much anticipation for backlash.
08:462024 taking place in Lyon, France.
08:49As newly crowned undisputed WWE champion, it was time for Cody Rhodes to defend his title against the best of the best.
08:55Enter number one contender, the phenomenal AJ Styles.
09:02Backlash in Lyon, France!
09:04Here we go!
09:06Can I describe backlash?
09:08Oh, man.
09:09Wow.
09:10That is about the best way I can describe it is wow.
09:13That song echoing through Lyon, France.
09:22What a main event for the WWE Championship!
09:26AJ Styles felt like a random opponent to be the first person for Cody to get after such a huge moment at WrestleMania.
09:34AJ and Cody just had an amazing chemistry.
09:36They just work really well together.
09:39So as a result, what you got to see was just an awesomely executed match, but it was also violent.
09:45How much does Cody have left?
09:48Cody fired up!
09:51Crossroads!
09:55Cody retains!
09:56A lot of times when guys get their first title run, you're like, eh, we'll see how he does.
10:03That night he created something memorable.
10:05That's what this business is about.
10:07He can handle it.
10:08He can deliver.
10:12Still to come.
10:13The prodigal son has returned!
10:16I want your soul.
10:18There it is!
10:19Cody cutter!
10:20He's dragged in a writer's guide.
10:26Now on to our fifth selection.
10:28Cody Rhodes would enter himself into the 2023 Royal Rumble.
10:31With a clear focus being victory and headlining WrestleMania.
10:38Main event spotted WrestleMania on the line.
10:41Here comes number 30!
10:46The American Nightmare is here!
10:50The pomp and circumstance.
10:53The emotion is all great.
10:55But now it's time to get down to business.
10:57Enter at number 30 and try to win the Royal Rumble.
11:03There it is!
11:04Cody cutter!
11:05One of my biggest dreams as a kid ever was, I want to win the Royal Rumble.
11:09The WWE Championship, to me, is without a doubt the richest prize in the game.
11:14Logan Paul sent over the top rope and it's down to two!
11:20Cody Rhodes!
11:22Cody Rhodes!
11:23Ross Rhodes to Gunther!
11:25Gunther!
11:26Oh, let it hit me!
11:27The American Nightmare!
11:29One step closer to the American dream!
11:32It's about getting the one title no one in my family did.
11:36If you're the WWE Champion, you are the top of every mountain.
11:39Finish the story at WrestleMania!
11:45In 2023, the American Nightmare, the beast incarnate Brock Lesnar, was on a collision course.
11:52The two waged war inside the squared circle and each held one win apiece.
11:57You have a victory over me.
11:59I have a victory over you.
12:00Oh my god!
12:01Cody got it!
12:03At SummerSlam, Brock, I end this.
12:11Maybe all smiles now, but in a matter of moments, he is going to be in a fight for his life.
12:17I tell people all the time, I like to feel it.
12:19I like the violence.
12:20Total disregard for Cody's well-being.
12:23That's as violent and physical and aggressive as he hits.
12:28Oh god!
12:30Oh god!
12:30F5 right through the table!
12:33Damn it, Cody!
12:34Just stay down!
12:35The words I would use are earning it.
12:38Brock Lesnar makes you earn it.
12:39Looking for the F5!
12:40Cody Rhodes able to counter!
12:42Into a crossroads!
12:44Cover!
12:46Cody Rhodes does it!
12:49Cody Rhodes conquered the Conqueror!
12:53He wins at SummerSlam, and that was one of the legacy-building moments for Cody Rhodes.
12:59Cody Rhodes took one massive step toward the top of the proverbial mountain.
13:05How many times have you seen Brock Lesnar show respect to an opponent?
13:10I don't think he ever did, but he did to Cody.
13:12And that just surprise that I got at the end of the match, with his respect, was special.
13:18And with that handshake, the American nightmare has arrived!
13:23In 2016, personal differences between Cody Rhodes and WWE led to Cody leaving the company, seemingly forever.
13:34In his absence, new superstars rose to the top of the ranks, namely Seth Rollins.
13:38But as the road to WrestleMania 38 grew shorter, there appeared to be no opponent in sight for Rollins.
13:43Seth Rollins is not going to partake in WrestleMania.
13:46That is until a mystery opponent was promised at the 11th hour.
13:52Seth Rollins has no clue who his opponent will be here tonight.
13:59Wrestling has won the war.
14:01You are a fan.
14:09Cody!
14:10My eyes met a lot of people's eyes, and it was just a beautiful experience.
14:23The prodigal son has returned!
14:29I'm so excited for this match, because I know it's going to be something awesome.
14:32This has all of the makings of one hell of a WrestleMania match!
14:38I think he was the perfect opponent for me in that match, and I think you just saw two
14:43of the best all-timers out there trying to push each other to the limit.
14:46I was sort of, like, looking around, and everyone's faces were just like...
14:49Crossroads!
14:54And Seth freaking Rollins' WrestleMania dreams became a nightmare!
15:02I had anticipated I would never come back to WWE.
15:06It's still surreal to me.
15:08What a moment for Cody Rhodes!
15:13Up next is our final two moments on the countdown.
15:16What will take the number one spot?
15:18Hey, Rock!
15:20Go f*** yourself!
15:24The sheer desire to be the very best was the driving factor between Cody Rhodes and the
15:31revolutionary Seth freaking Rollins.
15:33After two absolute classic encounters, a third match was set, this time inside the dangerous
15:39Hell in a Cell.
15:40Anyone who's ever stepped foot in that cell with me is changed forever.
15:48The stakes at an all-time high, Cody Rhodes is training harder than ever and suffered a torn
15:53pectoral muscle.
15:54Would he compete?
15:55Could he compete?
16:00Cody Rhodes truly has the weight of the world on his shoulders tonight.
16:04Oh my God.
16:07Oh my God.
16:08I can't even fathom the pain being experienced by Cody Rhodes.
16:13Cody knew that this was an opportunity.
16:16This is a main event match at Hell in a Cell.
16:20He couldn't disappoint his fans.
16:22This is just ruthless.
16:23This is gruesome.
16:24For Cody Rhodes to go through that match and for it to be a highly entertaining match is
16:31just a testament to what he's willing to go through in order to entertain the fans.
16:36The heart of Cody Rhodes that continues to power him through this match.
16:44It seemed painful and looked painful and you feel invincible in that moment.
16:48It was, it's very surreal, like takes you outside of your body.
16:52Sledge, hammer to Rollins.
16:56Pass him out on his back.
17:00Unbelievable.
17:01Sometimes you got to go out there ready to take it on the chin.
17:04We had drawn all this interest over Seth and I finishing it.
17:07No human being could have kept me from getting in the ring.
17:10That was a downright Herculean effort that we will likely never see again in a WWE ring.
17:21And now we've reached our number one moment.
17:25The famed story of Cody Rhodes was something embedded into the WWE universe
17:30when the American nightmare returned to WWE in 2022.
17:34He wanted to capture the WWE championship that his father never did.
17:38I cannot bestow it upon the American dream, Dusty Rhodes,
17:41but I certainly can put it around the waist of the American nightmare.
17:46He had his chance at WrestleMania 39, but was unsuccessful.
17:51No!
17:52Now a year later, he would once again face the Tribal Chief,
17:57who is now on an historic run as WWE Champion for over a thousand days
18:02in a match being contested under bloodline rules where anything goes.
18:07It is our main event.
18:14Cody Rhodes hopes to finish the story.
18:17Biggest night of your life, Cody Rhodes.
18:20Being in that moment, going on last, carrying the torch for the family,
18:24that one's very special.
18:25I worked my entire life for this.
18:30And here we go.
18:32Big fight field in Philadelphia.
18:35This will be contested under bloodline rules, which means anything goes.
18:40Jimmy Uso!
18:41Cody can't do it alone, right?
18:44So who do we got?
18:46Oh, yeah!
18:49Cody Rhodes has got some friends, too!
18:52Jimmy and Jay on a collision course!
18:54Off the stage!
18:56Cody's got a chance!
19:00Solo Sikoa!
19:05Oh, yeah!
19:07Cena's coming against them!
19:10Cena's even the playing field!
19:12Who dismount!
19:16Pulley!
19:17Is to win!
19:19The final boss!
19:22The final boss infuriated at John Cena!
19:27The final boss!
19:27Undertaker's back at Wrestlemania!
19:47And now Reigns setting up Cody Rhodes.
19:51Cody caught it!
19:54Crossroads!
19:55Crossroads!
19:57Finished!
19:58The!
19:59Story!
20:00For the first time,
20:02A Rhodes can call himself WWE Champion!
20:08What a beautiful story.
20:09I mean, this is the story that you make movies about.
20:12I'm very happy.
20:14I am.
20:14I'm very just blessed.
20:16I got to have this moment.
20:20Dammit!
20:21I love professional wrestling!
20:24There's no question that the American Nightmare is at the top of this industry.
20:30And his journey to get there is truly inspirational.
20:33Well, that'll do it for this edition of WWE's Greatest Moments.
20:37Hope you've enjoyed this look back at the very best of the American Nightmare.
20:42Cody Rhodes.
20:43Cody Rhodes.
20:47Me and my family, the twins, Solo, the wise man.
20:52We're not lying to you.
20:53We are the best.
20:54This is as real as it gets.
20:56The Bloodline.
20:58Perhaps the most dominant faction in WWE history.
21:01There is only one royal family in professional wrestling.
21:06Led by the tribal chief, Roman Reigns.
21:09The Bloodline have run rush on over the entire WWE roster.
21:13Acknowledge us.
21:14Today, we celebrate the group that put family above all.
21:20I'll shed blood for every single one of my family members in here.
21:23Relive all your ooze-iest memories.
21:26Ooze?
21:27This is WWE's Greatest Moments.
21:31Welcome, everyone, to WWE's Greatest Moments.
21:53I'm Michael Cole.
21:54And on this edition, we celebrate, or should I say, acknowledge,
21:59a faction that has already defined a generation, the Bloodline.
22:04With roots stemming from Hall of Famers, such as Yokozuna,
22:07the Wild Samoans, Rikishi, and more.
22:11The next generation came together to dominate the WWE scene
22:14for the better part of the last five years.
22:17But things would get off to a bit of a rocky start.
22:20After a brief absence from WWE, Roman Reigns returned in a new form.
22:25Acknowledge me as your charge.
22:27Chief.
22:28With a maniacal Paul Heyman by his side,
22:30Reigns would quickly capture the Universal Championship.
22:34Everything about this champion will be bigger,
22:37badder, better than anybody else that's ever come before him.
22:41His first opponent?
22:43His very own cousin, Jey Uso.
22:46Acknowledge me.
22:47I don't know you.
22:49Who refused to acknowledge Roman as his tribal chief.
22:52You want to shine?
22:54It's yours, a Hell in a Cell.
22:56Inside Hell in a Cell, there will be an I Quit match.
23:00This is what this has come down to between these cousins.
23:07As close as brothers.
23:09It was real heavy in the air that day, man.
23:12And Goosebumps singing about him.
23:13What was it that the tribal chief needed from Jey Uso?
23:19Jey Uso!
23:20Acknowledgement.
23:21Now you've got to collect on him.
23:23Legit feeling of having to stand up for myself against my cousin.
23:26It was just that raw emotion.
23:28It's Roman Reigns saying to his tribe,
23:33Look at all that I do for you.
23:37Acknowledge me.
23:39All you had to do was acknowledge me.
23:43That Hell in a Cell match was every bit of emotion.
23:46That's Jimmy.
23:47Thank God.
23:48I love you.
23:50I love you.
23:51Oh my God.
23:52He cried to me and he told me he loved me.
23:55And he put the brain in the guillotine.
23:57Lesson learned.
23:58Let him go!
23:59Let him go!
24:01Jey Uso uttered the words,
24:03I quit only to save his brother Jimmy.
24:06The level that Roman Reigns stooped to tonight.
24:10I started my rivalry with Jey.
24:12And ultimately,
24:14I beat him into the bloodline.
24:17The crowning of Roman Reigns.
24:19Eventually,
24:22Jey Uso became the Tribal Chief's right-hand man.
24:25And along with his brother Jimmy,
24:26the Usos dominated the tag team division,
24:28winning the SmackDown tag team titles.
24:31The longest reigning SmackDown tag team champions in history.
24:35Looking to state their claim as the greatest tag team of all time,
24:37the brothers would take on the Raw tag team champions,
24:41RK-Bro,
24:42in a title unification match.
24:44305 days.
24:50The Usos have been on top of the blue brand.
24:53Tonight,
24:54they want to be on top of all of WWE.
24:57We worked our ass off to be
24:58the longest reigning tag team champions.
25:02Double team on Riddle.
25:04That match was fire.
25:05And at that time,
25:06we're the best tag team in the world.
25:08Super kicked by Chang.
25:09The Usos are so incredible.
25:10One,
25:10because they're cheating.
25:12Wait a minute!
25:13The Big Oose!
25:14Roman Reigns!
25:16Jey Uso!
25:18Splash!
25:19Cover!
25:20To unify the goal!
25:22The Usos have done it!
25:24The Usos are the unified champions!
25:27We're going to do what we always do, bro.
25:29We're going to be the best damn tag team the world has ever seen.
25:32And we paid it off with it even finding a tag team champion.
25:35Acknowledge the bloodline!
25:41The bloodline commanded the respect of the WWE universe.
25:46Acknowledge me!
25:47One individual who sought that same level of respect
25:50was none other than Sami Zayn,
25:52who would not only join the bloodline,
25:54but become a key member of the group.
25:56This did not sit well with Jey Uso,
25:58who didn't believe Sami should be an honorary use.
26:01If you'll start pulling your weight around here, Uso,
26:03we're going to make you take that shirt off real soon!
26:09Sami Zayn, Jey Uso is a tenuous relationship
26:13out past it might be about to explode.
26:16I want this problem fixed right now.
26:22Roman is sort of this untouchable mob boss type,
26:25the head of the table.
26:27I didn't like somebody coming into my family
26:29thinking like they was already part of my family.
26:30I shed blood for every single one of my family members in here
26:34because it's my family!
26:36I'm trying to make peace!
26:38The tribal chief said he wants peace!
26:40I don't give a damn what the tribal chief say!
26:46The promo between me and Sami was already dope.
26:49I think it was believable.
26:50Hey, Roman! Roman!
26:52He did not mean that, okay?
26:53Lately, he just hasn't been very Uso-y.
26:59The moment I heard it,
27:01my hand goes over my face.
27:08Nobody knows what Uso-y is,
27:10but they got it, right?
27:11That's the problem, Jey.
27:13It's because you're not feeling Uso-y.
27:17Uso-y.
27:17In that moment,
27:19they seen just a different light.
27:21They seen us be likable.
27:22Someone's born there.
27:29And now the Uso-y.
27:30The assisting Roman is burying the beast.
27:35Hey, wait.
27:35Stop, stop, stop.
27:37I acknowledge you, tribal chief.
27:46With him not being a blood relative
27:50The loyalty of Sami Zayn
27:52The honorary boost was repeatedly
27:54Tested by the head of the table
27:56Roman Reigns
27:58He's the one putting you in these situations
28:00Because he's using you
28:01At the 2023 Royal Rumble
28:03With his long time best friend Kevin Owens
28:05Challenging Roman Reigns for the WWE
28:07Universal Championship
28:09The question remained
28:10Will Sami Zayn pass his final test
28:14With the bloodline
28:16And thank goodness this is over
28:22Unrivaled brutality
28:24From the head of the table
28:26A match that people will probably talk about
28:28For a long time
28:29I think the very end is probably going to be a big reason
28:32Why people are going to talk about it for a long time
28:33It's ridiculous
28:37It's sickening, it's disgusting
28:39Look at Sami's face
28:41Is anybody going to send security out here
28:43To do something about this?
28:45If they were losing it like that
28:52In anticipation of what we were going to do
28:54Imagine what's going to happen with the fans
28:56When we actually do it
28:58And just us being there in that moment
29:04Was enough to hold a stadium full of people
29:06That might have been one of the loudest pops I've ever had
29:27Standing in the middle of the ring
29:29Old entire Alamo though
29:35They can't even hear what I'm yelling at Sami
29:38But they are emotionally invested
29:40Down to tears
29:42With a chair shot heard round the world
29:47Sami Zayn was finally free
29:50Of the bloodline's clutches
29:51Looking for retribution
29:53The Usos led the charge
29:54Against their former stablemate
29:56Sami Zayn is about to be a sacrificial lamb
29:59For the bloodline
30:00Kevin Owens is back
30:03Coming to Sami Zayn's
30:05But when Kevin Owens decided to stand by his best friend
30:10All signs pointed to the main event of Wrestlemania 39
30:13Night 1
30:14To the Tag Team Championship on the line
30:17Once upon a time
30:21The Usos wore chips on their shoulders
30:23And here we are
30:24Closing out the night
30:25As Tag Team Champions
30:28You worked your ass off to get here
30:30You're here
30:31Here we go
30:32The Usos should be a main event of a Wrestlemania
30:34They made Tag Team Wrestling cool again
30:36The story and everybody's contribution
30:50Made it the undeniable main event
30:53So much familiarity between both teams
30:55They know each other's offense so well
30:57Look how talented they are
31:00Is there any doubt that Usos were the greatest tag team of all time?
31:04It has come to this
31:06There are 80,000 people in this stadium
31:09On their feet
31:11And here we go
31:12Stunner
31:16How low the kick
31:19Cover
31:21The bloodline beat down
31:25It's not even a dream come true
31:27Because it was so big
31:28That it's something we couldn't even have dreamt of
31:31An incredible outpouring of emotion
31:35For me and Sammy
31:36There's no other tag team we could have done that with
31:38Just all the stars are lying for that
31:39Still the comp
31:44If Roman falls tonight
31:50So does the OG bloodline
31:52Not long after losing the Unified Tag Team Championship
31:58The Usos began to feel unappreciated
32:01While Jimmy Uso was at odds with the Tribal Chief
32:03Main event
32:04Jay Uso was caught in the middle
32:05I'm talking to you Jay
32:07Kick him in the face and fix this right now
32:10The only one that needs fixing
32:12Is you
32:13Does Jay Uso remain with Roman in the bloodline or not?
32:22Will Jay Uso pledge his allegiance to the bloodline?
32:26Are you in
32:27Or are you out?
32:30There's nothing stronger than brothers, right?
32:31The problem
32:32Is your brother
32:33You turning me on my brother
32:36Like you can't do that to me
32:37The problem
32:38Is our cousin
32:40He's an anchor
32:41I'm the wings
32:42I lift you up
32:43He drags you down
32:44If I was holding both of them by the hand
32:46Who would I drop?
32:47You out
32:48And I'm out too
32:52Oh my god
32:54I think people weren't expecting it
32:58The bloodline is done as we know it
33:01One of the greatest rivalries of the past decade
33:06Has been that between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar
33:08Spear!
33:10The titles have been unified
33:12Heading into SummerSlam 2022
33:14They would have one more brutal fight left in them
33:17The Beast wants his title back
33:20The rules are simple
33:22The loser would be the one who couldn't stand
33:24After the referee's 10 count
33:26Is Roman Reigns
33:30Simply walking in
33:32To Brock Lesnar's personal slaughterhouse
33:35Brock Lesnar
33:37He is driving a tractor
33:39Cowboy Brock
33:41Driving a tractor down to the ring
33:43And for Brock Lesnar
33:45It's just another day at the office
33:47Oh my god
33:49Brock Lesnar
33:50Didn't waste any time
33:52If Roman Reigns
33:54Wants to be the greatest of all time
33:56He's gonna have to get through
33:58Brock Lesnar
34:00Incapacitate your opponent
34:02Until they can't reach your feet
34:04By a count of 10
34:05When Brock's on the list
34:08You better bring your lunch bill
34:09And Brock's behind the wheel
34:11In a damn tractor again
34:12Brock Lesnar just moved the entire ring
34:16God almighty
34:17What the hell is Lesnar doing?
34:19Anything he wants
34:20We did it
34:21As Nashville as you can do it
34:23Ain't nobody seen a tractor come out
34:25That would start flipping rings
34:27Lesnar's lifted up the ring
34:28With Roman Reigns in it
34:29It's like a horror movie out here
34:32Hit him in that box
34:34On the table
34:35This match
34:36It's the epitome
34:38Of what a heavyweight championship match
34:41Should be
34:41Let's go
34:42You ain't welcome here
34:44To see him really lock in
34:48You see it in his body
34:49And now the Usos
34:50Assisting Roman
34:52In burying the beast
34:54That's how you do business
34:55Name a human alive
35:01That can say they beat Brock Lesnar
35:02Three times in a row
35:04That was one of the damnedest fights
35:07I've ever witnessed in my life
35:09Roman Reigns would continue
35:13His WWE championship reign
35:15For the next two years
35:16Till it finally came to an end
35:18After the loss
35:20The head of the table
35:21Took a well-deserved break
35:22From the ring
35:22While his old enforcer
35:24Sneakily swooped in
35:25Acknowledge me
35:27As Roman made his return
35:31The OTC reunited the original group
35:33Heading into war games
35:34And even the odds
35:36Found an unlikely partner
35:38The best in the world
35:40CM Punk
35:41It is time
35:45To go
35:46To war
35:47OG bloodline
35:49Versus new bloodline
35:50I wouldn't have
35:51No other match
35:52No other way
35:53If Roman falls tonight
35:56So does the OG bloodline
35:58Oh god
36:00And a super kick
36:01There's something cool
36:02With two rings
36:03Because it was inside of a cave
36:04It's very physical
36:05The little kid in me loves that
36:07Moose off splash
36:10Solo
36:11All on his own
36:14To pay for his sins
36:17The spear
36:18One
36:20Two
36:21Three
36:22The OG bloodline wins
36:24Anytime I get in the ring
36:26With my family at all
36:27I'm very happy
36:28And grateful
36:28Just history making man
36:31No one ever really wins a war
36:33If you're lucky
36:35You survive
36:36Up next is our final two moments
36:40On the countdown
36:41What will take the number one spot
36:43At Survivor Series war games
36:52The original bloodline picked up the victory
36:54But the rivalry between Roman Reigns and Solo Sokoa was far from over
36:59This
37:00This is a Ula Fala
37:02This makes me the Tribal Chief
37:07The two would continue to battle over the next few months
37:09Over who is the true Tribal Chief
37:12It all came down to the historic Raw premiere on Netflix
37:16Where the sacred Ula Fala necklace was on the line
37:19Inside Tribal Combat
37:22Roman versus Solo
37:26To determine who is Tribal Chief
37:29The Ula Fala is sacred
37:31Those beads
37:33Only go around the head and the neck
37:36Of someone
37:37Who can bear the responsibility
37:39Of wearing the Ula Fala
37:41It means you're a chief
37:43We want to go down as one of the greatest wrestling families in history
37:47This is what we love doing
37:49And we give it our all
37:51Roman Reigns I don't think was expecting this type of assault
37:54Acknowledge me
37:57I love you
37:59Roman Reigns trying to power out of this
38:01I just feel like we level up every time like we're out there with him
38:05Through the table
38:06Spear
38:09That was the first day of the rest of my life
38:11Cover
38:12There's only one man that can lay claim
38:17To truly being the greatest of all time
38:22Roman Reigns
38:24Roman Reigns is once again in possession of the Ula Fala
38:30We have now reached the number one spot
38:35In 2024 the bloodline gained an electrifying addition
38:38As a matter of fact it was the most electrifying addition they could make
38:43I'm talking about the final boss
38:45The Rock
38:46Roman Reigns
38:48I acknowledge you as my tribal chief
38:52There was no stopping the bloodline
38:55As we headed towards Wrestlemania 40
38:58Two superstars vowed to derail the momentum of the powerful bloodline
39:01I'm talking about Seth Freak and Rollins and Cody Rhodes
39:05The Rock is a director of the board
39:08Of TKO
39:09Which means it owns WWE
39:11Which means he's your boss
39:12And your boss
39:13The stage was set
39:15For the biggest Wrestlemania of all time
39:18Being headlined by the biggest tag team match in history
39:21And the entire world
39:23Was watching
39:24What a way to kick off the main event
39:31This is the biggest tag team match
39:33In the history of Wrestlemania
39:34We had a nice stare down
39:36And now you're looking at the main event
39:39For Wrestlemania 40
39:41Uh oh here we go
39:44This is one of those ones getting off the bus
39:46You really like the bloodline
39:48The enormity of this main event
39:52Cannot be overstated
39:55The Rock says he's your boss
40:01He is your boss
40:02Oh no
40:04The Rock is a man who does whatever the hell he wants
40:07Whenever the hell he wants
40:08This crazy Wrestlemania tag team match
40:11Against the greatest champion in company history
40:14And the biggest star on the planet
40:15Lots going on
40:17Oh no
40:18Save Cody
40:24Roman spared The Rock
40:26He didn't mean to
40:28Pedal brace
40:30My lord
40:32We can do whatever the f*** we want to do
40:34But you gotta acknowledge what's going on here
40:38People's elbow
40:41Welcome back
40:46Final boss
40:48Number one is number one
40:49On a different level
40:51Four years ago
40:52How do you stop the bloodline
40:54The bloodline stood tall
40:57Closing out the first night of the milestone
40:59Wrestlemania 40
41:00Fittingly in the city
41:01Of brotherly love
41:03The roots implanted inside the NOIE family tree
41:06Are indeed strong
41:07And will continue to grow
41:08And produce the biggest superstars of the industry
41:10Roman Reigns
41:12Jimmy Uso
41:12Jey Uso
41:13Solo Sokoa
41:14And the bloodline
41:15Are living proof
41:17Well that'll do it for this edition
41:18Of WWE's greatest moments
