Transcript
00:00Yeah
00:30Oh
01:00Oh
01:30Oh
02:00Oh
02:24All right
02:30Ladies and gentlemen, there is a lot to unpack here tonight as we headed to this World Heavyweight Championship match
02:39It was WrestleMania Sunday
02:43That's Seth Rollins wrestled his last match before he went away for knee surgery
02:50It was on that night that he lost the world championship to Drew McIntyre
02:55It was on that night that he lost the world championship to Drew McIntyre
03:00Just over five minutes later
03:03That man Damian Priest would come down
03:06And he would cash in the Money in the Bank contract on McIntyre to win his first world championship
03:15So Corey, what we have here is these two men facing off tonight
03:19But we also have Drew McIntyre
03:21Who earlier on won the Money in the Bank contract and just tweeted out moments ago
03:27I told you
03:29Dot dot dot
03:31Remember what I said
03:33Well if you're Damian Priest you know full well that Drew McIntyre has not forgiven
03:38Nor forgotten what you did to him on the grandest stage of them all
03:43That has got to be creeping into the mind of the World Heavyweight Champion
03:47Not to mention having to deal with one of the most successful competitors of the last decade
03:53In Seth Freakin' Rollins
03:55The first man to hold that World Heavyweight Championship
03:58It's coming at Damian Priest from all sides tonight
04:01I hope he's ready
04:05These are the only two men in history
04:08Who have cashed in the Money in the Bank contract at WrestleMania
04:14Seth Rollins also had the contract cashed in on him
04:18It was here in Toronto in 2019
04:21When Brock Lesnar cashed in on Seth Rollins to win the championship
04:28Money in the Bank is powered by Prime Hydration
04:31The fastest growing beverage in history
04:33And the official hydration drink of WWE
04:36With only 25 calories
04:38Zero added sugar

04:41Drink Prime
04:48The following contest is scheduled for one fall
04:51And it is for
04:53The World Heavyweight Championship
05:00Introducing the challenger
05:03From Davenport, Iowa
05:05Weighing in at 225 pounds
05:09Seth Freakin' Rollins
05:26And his opponent
05:28Representing the Judgment Day
05:31From New York City
05:33Weighing in at 249 pounds
05:36He is
05:38The World Heavyweight Champion
05:41El Campeon
05:43Damian Priest
05:48And Corey, let's not forget
05:50Who awaits
05:52The winner of this match
05:54Four weeks from tonight in Cleveland at SummerSlam
05:57That would be none other than
05:59The King General
06:01Gunther
06:03Winning the King of the Ring tournament
06:05At the World Championship
06:07At SummerSlam
06:09So now Rollins and Priest
06:11Have to concentrate on one another
06:13They'll be looking over their shoulder
06:15At perhaps a looming McIntyre
06:17And we're now underway
06:19And I believe there will be an urgency
06:21To this matchup, Corey
06:23No doubt about it, you want to get in here
06:25And end this match as quickly as possible
06:27As Rollins is looking to do
06:29Looking for the pedigree
06:31And now, uh-oh, looking for a shot in the heaven
06:33Perhaps Damian Priest
06:35Is on the right track
06:37Rollins knows what he wants Priest to do
06:39Whether or not Priest follows suit
06:41Remains to be seen
06:43Yeah, but Corey, I mentioned this earlier
06:45This is Rollins' first match since WrestleMania
06:47I agree, and I heard the skepticism on the
06:49Oh!
06:51Countdown show, broken arrow by the champion
06:53The speculation that perhaps the layoff
06:55Could work against Seth Rollins
06:57But Rollins has been out with injuries in the past
06:59Nobody trains harder
07:01More tediously
07:03Or more proficiently
07:05In the ring
07:07A lot to show the world tonight
07:09That's what he told Judgment Day
07:11Face first, flatliner by Priest
07:13Cover now, is it enough to put Rollins away
07:15And a kick out
07:17You heard Priest tell Judgment Day
07:19Stay in the back, Corey
07:21Stay out of my business, stay in the match
07:23He wants to prove to the world tonight
07:25That he doesn't need help to keep the championship
07:27It's been a great motivator for Damian Priest
07:29Because Priest realizes that because he won
07:31The championship by cashing in the money
07:33In the bank contract
07:35Night after night
07:37No matter who the opponent
07:39Imagine what it would do for El Campeon's confidence
07:41If he knocks off Rollins tonight
07:43And Rollins now, out of the corner with a sling blade
07:45For Damian Priest as well
07:47He had an opportunity at Rollins last year
07:49For the world championship
07:51When Seth was the champion
07:53And Damian Priest lost that matchup
07:55Another motivator for the champion here tonight
07:57Rollins taking a minute to survey the scene
07:59Come on, Drew
08:01And Rollins
08:03Rollins looking toward the entryway
08:05Come on Drew, come on McIntyre
08:07I think Rollins may have his priorities
08:09A little out of whack right now
08:11Here comes Seth Rollins, Seth Rollins suicide dodge
08:13Drives McIntyre right into the announce table
08:15And back into the ring for Rollins
08:17And again, Seth Rollins
08:19They're gonna fly through
08:21And take out Priest again
08:23Twice in a row, Priest landed
08:25Hip first into the edge of our announce table
08:27And third time
08:29Perhaps
08:31Yes, Priest
08:33Right over the announce table into the floor
08:35And Rollins
08:37On a high here tonight
08:39In control of the champion
08:41Champion's advantage in effect
08:43Damian Priest must be pinned or submit
08:45To lose his world heavyweight championship
08:47A situation Rollins is extremely familiar with
08:51Seth Rollins had many things to say
08:53In a very controversial, outspoken
08:55Sit down interview on the countdown show
08:57And now Rollins, top rope
08:59Priest able to duck underneath it
09:01Missed with a wild kick
09:03Rollins now, scoop
09:05Kick to the face
09:07Super kick right on the money
09:09Rollins now
09:11Headed to the outside
09:13Perhaps adding something new to his repertoire
09:15Rollins now gonna launch himself
09:17Up off the top rope
09:19And a swanton from the top rope
09:21By Rollins
09:23And now Rollins
09:25With a moonsault
09:27Rollins changing things up
09:29Cover now on Priest
09:31And a kick out, the evolution of Seth Rollins
09:33Rollins has been around this game
09:35Everybody studies your footage
09:37Of your matches
09:39Everybody knows what you do before you do it
09:41So you have to show them a new wrinkle
09:43You have to keep coming at them
09:45With different game plans
09:47That's why we called Rollins the architect
09:49For so many years
09:51Rollins kicked to the midsection of Priest
09:53And again, fast paced frantic
09:55Part of this matchup
09:57Priest and Rollins for the championship
09:59Seth misses wildly
10:01Damian Priest now
10:03Plants Rollins face first
10:05Rollins is tied to this matchup
10:07And now Priest wants South of Heaven
10:09And he keeps looking back to the entranceway as well
10:11Concerned perhaps that Mr. Runny Newbank
10:13Is gonna waltz out here
10:15And now Seth Rollins
10:17I take that again, Rollins
10:19Changing things up to win the title
10:21And a kick out by Priest
10:23Oh and a wicked clothesline
10:25It seems as though it's a foregone conclusion
10:27That McIntyre wants to cash in on this matchup
10:29But we talked about it earlier Cole
10:31Cody Rhodes is gonna be in a fight tonight
10:33Cody Rhodes is gonna be beaten down
10:35At some point
10:37What better time to strike for Mr. Runny Newbank
10:39And again these two competitors
10:41Cannot allow themselves to get worked up
10:43And worried about McIntyre
10:45They gotta worry about the opponent in the ring
10:47Oh my god!
10:49What a pivot by Rollins
10:51Slamming Priest down in a big boot
10:53And then the champion's down
10:55Rollins making the climb to the top turnbuckle
10:57Seth going up top
10:59Priest in trouble
11:01Rollins could be closing in on the world championship
11:03He's the inaugural world champion
11:05Splashed by Rollins
11:07Cover for the title
11:09Hooked in the leg on Priest
11:11Who kicks out at two
11:13You keep saying you can't let McIntyre become a factor
11:15Drew McIntyre's already been a factor in this matchup
11:17Both superstars in the backs of their minds
11:19Worried about Mr. Money in the Bank
11:21As we look again at the full extension
11:23On the beautiful frog splash from Rollins
11:25Damian Priest the champion
11:27Waited 281 days
11:29To cash in his contract at WrestleMania
11:31To win his first world title
11:33Only one other competitor held it
11:35Briefcase swagger
11:37Carmella
11:39That makes me a Money in the Bank winner by marriage
11:41Not really
11:43Rollins with a big right hand
11:45Connecting with Priest
11:47And again
11:49Rollins showing a new look
11:51Attacking the knee first
11:53Then the elbow
11:55Just a different look from the same angle
11:57That's why Rollins is so good and so successful
11:59Looking for the stomp
12:01Sent outside to the apron
12:03By Priest
12:05Got Priest right on the chin
12:07This has been nonstop action in this matchup
12:09And you shouldn't be surprised
12:11That both of these superstars are firing off
12:13Their heaviest artillery
12:15From the early moments of this matchup
12:17You don't get paid by the hour tonight
12:19You need to win the title
12:21And get the hell out of Dodge
12:23Indeed as Priest delivers another right hand
12:25I asked Rollins about Priest
12:27And how he's been doing as champion
12:29Rollins said listen it's different to visualize
12:31Yourself being champion
12:33And then to step into those shoes
12:35Need a lot of help
12:37Got a lot to prove to Rollins tonight
12:39And now with Priest up on his shoulders
12:41Seth Rollins now toward the center of the ring
12:43And now buckle bomb by Rollins
12:45That knee's holding up pretty well
12:47And now Priest
12:49Uh oh, uh oh
12:51And Rollins up high
12:53Down goes Rollins
12:55Cover by the champ
12:57Hook of the leg for the win
12:59Seth gets the shoulder up in two
13:01What an exchange between these two superstars
13:03And again Priest
13:05Carrying down the aisle
13:07Every time one of these men
13:09Becomes vulnerable in this matchup
13:11The other will look down to the entranceway
13:13Think about the other repercussions
13:16That could follow Damian Priest
13:18Should he lose tonight
13:20He's got to leave the Judgment Day
13:22That is like cutting the head off of the snake right now
13:24What does that mean for Judgment Day as a whole
13:26It would crumble
13:28What about Seth Rollins if he doesn't win tonight
13:30And that gentleman's agreement
13:32He'll never get another shot at the championship
13:33That does not bode well for Rollins
13:35I mean it speaks to the confidence of the challenger
13:37But not necessarily a smart business decision
13:42Five superstars
13:44Have cashed in on the same night
13:46That they won the Money in the Bank contract
13:48Alexa Bliss, Bailey, Liv Morgan, Kane and Dean Ambrose
13:53All did that
13:55So you have to wonder
13:57If that could possibly happen tonight
14:00Now Priest turns his attention back to Rollins
14:03And I'm not sure how wise this is
14:05I'll tell you it's not smart at all
14:07Under any circumstance
14:09You don't want to insult Seth Rollins
14:15And Rollins now getting the upper hand
14:18No maybe not, Damian Priest
14:20Feeding off
14:22Oh! Priest taking the fight to Rollins
14:27Priest using his educated feet
14:29And that karate background
14:32Priest has been very impressive
14:34Oh! And he ran into a kick by Seth
14:36I think he caught him in the throat
14:38And then a spinning kick by Damian Priest
14:41And another Rollins tried to block
14:43Perhaps he did
14:45And now Priest with Seth where he wants him
14:48Looking for a South of Heaven choke slam
14:51And he delivered to Seth last week
14:53Seth though in the pedigree
14:55Pedigree time on Priest
14:57Priest though back body drop
14:59Not as sure footed
15:01Maybe the, oh maybe
15:03Maybe I spoke too soon
15:05Rollins crawls to the cover
15:07Is it enough to win the championship here
15:09And a kick out by Priest at two
15:11Wow
15:13Wow
15:15Seth shaking his head
15:17Realizes that may have been his chance
15:24Just when it seemed as though
15:26Rollins may have been a half a step off of his game
15:27Not as sure footed
15:29As we're used to seeing
15:31Rollins answers with a stomp
15:33And nearly becomes World Heavyweight Champion
15:35There are 19,858 WWE fans
15:37Jam packed into the
15:39Scotiabank Arena in Toronto
15:41This is for the World Heavyweight Championship
15:43The top prize on Monday Night Raw
15:45Seth Rollins the inaugural champion
15:47Trying to wrestle the title away
15:49From the man who cashed in to win the title
15:51At Money, at WrestleMania
15:53Damian Priest
15:55You want to be a man around here
15:58You want to be a man
16:00Stand on your own two feet
16:03Stand and fight me
16:07Stand and fight me
16:10Come on Priest
16:13Come on
16:18Rollins begging Priest to get back to his feet
16:20Various strategy
16:22From Seth freaking Rollins
16:24I don't know why you want to give someone
16:25As dangerous as Priest
16:27Any time to recover
16:29To your point, looking for the razor's edge
16:31Up top, down goes Rollins
16:33Rollins is going to pay
16:35Cover by the champion
16:37To retain the title
16:39And a kick out by Seth
16:41I would dare say that was uncharacteristic
16:43Of Seth freaking Rollins
16:45What we just saw
16:47The verbally berating of the champion
16:49Fired up Damian Priest
16:51And that's exactly what Rollins didn't want
16:53So what got into it?
16:55He's been one of my closest friends
16:57For well over a decade
16:59I don't know where his head's at tonight
17:01Other than the task at hand
17:03The World Heavyweight Championship
17:05And obviously the concern that Drew McIntyre
17:07Could be lurking
17:09And he talked a lot during that countdown interview
17:11About doing double duty at WrestleMania
17:13And putting it all on the line
17:15Of the tag team match on Saturday night
17:17And coming out less than 100%
17:19To face McIntyre on Sunday
17:21And he's such a proud competitor
17:23Such a proud man
17:25And I was talking about it
17:27Several moments ago
17:29That he comes back better prepared
17:31Than when he left
17:33But age is a real thing
17:35Rollins has got a lot more mileage on his body
17:37Maybe he's not the same architect we once knew
17:39I asked the question
17:41I said this could be your last run
17:43He laughed at me
17:45But he did admit
17:47Most of his good years may be behind him
17:49As Damian Priest now
17:51Hammers away
17:53And then catches Rollins in the head
17:55Now up to the top rope
17:57Got Priest where he wants him
17:59Superplex
18:01Rolls through
18:03And here comes the
18:05Went for the Falcon Arrow
18:07Priest though able to counter
18:09Rollins counters
18:11Falcon Arrow by Rollins
18:13Cover for the title
18:15Seth got a nose
18:17Rollins can't believe it
18:19He thought it was three
18:21And everybody in Scotiabank Arena
18:23Thought it was three
18:25Rod Zapata was right there
18:27He had the best angle in the house
18:29Admittedly I was looking at the ring
18:31Oh no
18:35He promised
18:37Drew McIntyre
18:39Mr. Money in the Bank
18:41Is marching down to the ring
18:43With the briefcase
18:45And the contract inside
18:47For a world championship opportunity
18:50As much as I have been a critic of this man
18:53I have to admit
18:55He did what he said he was going to do
18:57And now
18:59It looks like he's going to cash in
19:06Indeed he is
19:09Ladies and gentlemen
19:11Drew McIntyre is cashing in
19:13His Money in the Bank contract
19:15Therefore
19:17This is now a triple threat match
19:19For the world heavyweight championship
19:22Okay, clam, good God
19:23First man to gain pinfall
19:25Is the champion
19:27Rollins can pin McIntyre
19:29McIntyre can pin Rollins
19:31McIntyre now
19:33Future shock DDT
19:35And a kip-up by McIntyre
19:37Call him a hypocrite again, Cole
19:40Only the second time in history
19:42A cash-in has become a triple threat
19:44Rollins pulls it off
19:46Against Slasher and Rollins at Wrestlemania
19:48McIntyre ripped into a clothesline
19:50By Priest
19:51Priest dumps Rollins out to the outside
19:53And now Damian Priest
19:55Just like in Wrestlemania
19:57Drew McIntyre
19:59A kick Priest
20:01I think McIntyre wanted a Claymore
20:03But Priest
20:05Priest crowned him
20:07What the hell
20:09Holy cow, holy shit
20:11It's CM Punk
20:13CM Punk is here
20:15Punk is here
20:17CM Punk
20:19Punk is here
20:21CM Punk is beating the hell
20:23Beating the hell out of McIntyre
20:25Punk's returning the favor
20:27This is a receipt from Chicago
20:29Punk with a steel chair
20:31Is destroying McIntyre
20:33And there's no disqualifications
20:35In a triple threat match
20:40CM Punk
20:42I don't even know where the hell
20:44Punk came from
20:47Punk is laying waste
20:49To McIntyre
20:51CM Punk
20:53CM Punk
20:55CM Punk
20:57Punk, we still have a world championship
20:59Going on
21:01It's a triple threat
21:03CM Punk has destroyed McIntyre
21:21Look at that chair
21:23What is Punk doing
21:25With the world heavyweight championship
21:28Well you can't stop the guy
21:30There's no disqualifications
21:36Punk with the title
21:38To the face of McIntyre
21:43Phil, what the hell are you doing, Phil?
21:46What are you doing?
21:48Oh my god, Priest is back on his feet
21:52Damian Priest
21:54With a self-damaged chokeslam
21:56By god, CM Punk
21:58Has screwed
22:00Through McIntyre again
22:06Here is your winner
22:08And still
22:12The world heavyweight champion
22:18El Campeon
22:20Damian Priest
22:28Priest wins, he's still the champ
22:31He's got Gunther at Summerslam
22:33Seth Rollins is collateral damage in all this
22:36Because he doesn't get another title shot
22:38As Priest is champ
22:40Because of CM Punk
22:42Who's on our announce table
22:44Applauding the fact that he screwed McIntyre again
22:45The last time we saw Punk
22:47Was in his home city of Chicago
22:49Getting the holy hell beat out of him
22:51By McIntyre
22:53Turnabout is fair play
22:55This is beyond bad blood
22:57It doesn't get any worse
22:59CM Punk from out of nowhere
23:01Turns the tides
23:03Screws McIntyre
23:05And as you mentioned
23:07Screws Rollins too
23:09Well listen, I mean, I get it
23:11Punk was almost had his career ended
23:13By that maniac McIntyre
23:15And tonight Punk gets his revenge
23:19In the south, ahead of Chokeslam
23:21Damian Priest is still the champion
23:23It's not the way he wanted to win it, Corey
23:25But at this point, who the hell cares?
23:27At the end of the day
23:29You know what they say
23:31By hunker, by crook
23:33And still
23:35Both world heavyweight champion
23:37And leader of the Judgment Day
23:39My God, the second city spoiler
23:41Strikes again
23:43There's no second city saying
23:45For Drew McIntyre
23:47He's been the second city devil
23:52And now, now, now
23:54I think reality is just sinking in
23:56For the architect
23:58And Rollins sees
24:00And Corey, I mentioned it
24:02The collateral damage
24:04By Seth Rollins
24:06We saw Rollins reaction to the return
24:08Of Punk the Survivor Series in Hot 9
24:10And Corey who
24:12Is longtime friends
24:14With Seth Rollins
24:16Making sure that Seth doesn't do anything
24:21Out of control here tonight
24:24But again, Rollins
24:26I mean Punk
24:28Punk cost Rollins
24:30The championship tonight too
24:32Punk made sure now that Rollins
24:34Doesn't get another shot at the title
24:36As long as Priest is champion
24:39CM Punk
24:40Has affected the entire future
24:42Of WWE
24:44Here tonight
24:47And with the typical
24:49CM Punk
24:51Who me
24:53Has turned the WWE
24:55Upside down
