SportsTranscript
00:00Well with one of the two remaining spots open for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match,
00:07who will survive one of the most brutal matches in all of WWE?
00:12John Cena takes on the Demon King in the first time in 10 years, a stretcher match.
00:20Next, here on RAW.
00:23We kicked off the show tonight with Triple H saying Reigns and Ambrose would not be able to participate in the Battle Royal,
00:29but after some shenanigans, Roman Reigns found his way into the Battle Royal tonight.
00:34And what a Battle Royal it was.
00:37Roman Reigns, and of course Mike Baxle there was the double spear,
00:41when Roman Reigns was actually trended worldwide tonight on Twitter.
00:45And then Roman Reigns with that Superman Punch. Wow! Eliminated.
00:49Fernando.
00:52Bo, Bo tried to take out, oh Roman Reigns didn't get the job done.
00:57He thought he had eliminated Reigns.
01:00Bo actually thought he was, well, one leg up on this thing until he turned into this.
01:06Huge spear from Roman Reigns.
01:08And it would come down to this, Rusev and Reigns, the last two men standing in the Battle Royal.
01:12An opportunity for a championship match on the line.
01:15Superman Punch would take out Rusev.
01:17Roman Reigns is heading the Money in the Bank.
01:26Ladies and gentlemen, this is a stretcher match,
01:30where the winner will qualify for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship ladder match
01:37at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view.
01:39There will be no count-outs, no disqualifications, no pinfalls, and no submissions.
01:45The only way to win is to incapacitate your opponent,
01:49place him on the stretcher, and push him across the finish line.
01:58There's the finish line.
02:10And introducing the participants, Roman Reigns, Newberry, Massachusetts,
02:14weighing 251 pounds,
02:18John Cena!
02:25Well, earlier we saw Stephanie McMahon lose her lunch right at Vickie Guerrero's face.
02:30Can you imagine what will happen if somehow John Cena makes it into the championship ladder match?
02:36You know, John Cena has been in so many different matches throughout his career,
02:40but John has never been in a stretcher match.
02:44Will that come into play here tonight?
02:46I think it could, especially considering his opponent,
02:48The Demon King, has been in a stretcher match before.
02:55John Cena's a 14-time world champion, would love to make it 15,
02:59but he's got to qualify tonight in order to have a chance.
03:04John Cena's a 14-time world champion, would love to make it 15,
03:07but he's got to qualify tonight in order to have a chance.
03:33It will start in the ring, and then it can go anywhere in this arena.
03:36Again, you must incapacitate your opponent.
03:39Put him on a stretcher, push him across the finish line to win.
03:42If you'd like to discuss this on Twitter and social media tonight,
03:45we invite you to use the hashtag StretcherMatch.
03:48There's been some incredible stretcher matches over the years.
03:51Not a whole lot of them.
03:52The ones that they have had have been incredible.
03:54Andre the Giant vs. Killer Khan 1981 was considered Match of the Year at the Spectrum.
04:01You know, John, the last time we've had a stretcher match here on Monday Night Raw,
04:04nearly 10 years ago.
04:06Yeah, wow.
04:07And Kane was involved in that match.
04:15Oh, man.
04:16Bob Bass from the Hall of Famer had some great stretcher matches
04:19back in the day against superstar Billy Graham.
04:22Brock and Big Show in 2003, HBK and Batista, one of the greatest of all time.
04:28Not to interrupt, John, but look at the number one Twitter right now in the world.
04:34So here we go.
04:35The last man to qualify for the WWE World Title Match at Money in the Bank pay-per-view
04:40will either be John Cena or Kane.
04:42This is a stretcher match.
04:43No pinfalls, no submissions, no count-outs, no disqualifications.
04:47Anything goes tonight.
04:48Our main event on Monday Night Raw.
04:52Things not starting off well for John Cena.
04:55WWE fans with a familiar chance directed at Cena.
04:59The Demon Kane, who really got into an altercation, a brawl,
05:03outside the ring a couple of weeks ago with Cena,
05:05a harbinger of things to come here tonight.
05:10Kane was supposed to meet Daniel Bryan at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view
05:13in a stretcher match for the championship,
05:15but with Bryan injured and being stripped of the title,
05:18this match takes its place tonight.
05:20Yes.
05:21John Cena on the stretcher already.
05:24It's a bit premature.
05:25Yeah, but Kane has now pushed the stretcher all the way past the ring,
05:28and then he's got to push it up a ramp, up the ramp here in the arena,
05:32across the finish line.
05:33Not often I can agree with JBL, but you're right.
05:36This is way too premature.
05:40That's another way to use the stretcher.
05:42Listen, we know what both of these men are capable of.
05:44Look what John Cena did in the last man standing match
05:47just a couple of weeks ago as he goes stretcher first to the midsection.
05:55Using that stretcher as an offensive weapon is unique.
05:58Wait till you see what they do with those ladders at Money in the Bank.
06:01Cena trimming shoulders first into the steps.
06:17And now Kane stalking Cena.
06:24As we all know, or maybe we don't even fully know what Kane is capable of,
06:29but I believe we're going to find out in this ladder match.
06:31He's going to pull out all the stops.
06:33He'll leave no stone unturned.
06:35He'll do everything he can to try to destroy John Cena
06:40before hauling him out on that stretcher.
06:42One of the reasons that Daniel Bryan is out right now
06:44is because of the Demon Kane.
06:46Yeah, a number of tombstones from Kane to Bryan,
06:48including in the steps to the announce table
06:50as Cena bounces back against Kane.
06:53Make no mistake about it.
06:54This matchup set up tonight by Stephanie and Triple H.
06:56Oh, and also his punishment for Cena.
06:58He had to surmise because of Cena's disparaging remarks
07:01aimed at Stephanie a couple of weeks ago.
07:03Or maybe it's just a great match that's best for business for Raw.
07:06Hey, you, uh, look at it that way, then.
07:09And it's Kane with the right hand.
07:10You flat-earthed guys.
07:11Dropping Cena to the floor below.
07:16A lot of this match taking place out here on the floor now
07:19where that stretcher is.
07:22Now he's got to push Cena up the ramp,
07:24up the ramp and across the finish line,
07:25which is halfway along across the stage up there.
07:30Kane trying to get Cena, rolls off,
07:33but right now Kane is controlling Cena.
07:35Stretcher match continues.
07:37Who's going to Money in the Bank?
07:38Raw rolls on live.
07:43Hagan, everybody.
07:45We are back live on Monday Night Raw.
07:47It's Kane and John Cena in a stretcher match
07:50to determine who hits the Money in the Bank
07:52as the final qualifier for the WWE World Title Ladder Match.
07:56Oh, boy, watch out there.
07:57Oh!
07:58No rules.
07:59Yeah, one of these men could be champion.
08:00Oh!
08:01No disqualifications, no count-outs,
08:03no pitfalls, no submissions.
08:05Well, that chair could put you out and put you on a stretcher.
08:08What you have to do is incapacitate your opponent
08:10to the point where you can, as King mentioned,
08:12place him on a stretcher, push that stretcher up the ramp,
08:15push it across the finish line on the stage.
08:19When you do that, you qualify for a title opportunity.
08:21You saw what John Cena did with Bray Wyatt.
08:23One of the most incredible matches we've seen in recent memory.
08:26The last man standing.
08:27That's what we pointed out on the app, John,
08:29why it couldn't keep Cena down for a count of 10.
08:31Cena has a knack for winning these big matches.
08:34I've never seen anything like it.
08:35You've been in these type of matches with John,
08:37not a stretcher match, but similar matches.
08:39You know what Cena's made up of.
08:41I've never seen anybody who can take a seat with John Cena.
08:43Watch that chair.
08:44Look at the reverse.
08:45Just like that.
08:46But I've never seen anybody like Demon King either.
08:52Cena buys himself some valuable time to regroup.
08:56Demon King will do whatever he has to do to win this match.
09:00Cena going up top.
09:01I don't know if this is a wise move.
09:03Here's Cena now.
09:04Top rope.
09:05John Cena caught by King.
09:07King with a chokeslam.
09:09But here's the issue.
09:10You can't go for a pin here.
09:12You gotta get Cena out of the ring and get him on a stretcher.
09:17What's Kane looking for?
09:19I don't know.
09:20That's a scary thought.
09:21Probably something soft.
09:24You were right.
09:26Steel steps.
09:34And a step back in the ring now.
09:38John Cena's hurt.
09:39Cena's hurt and maybe hurt bad.
09:41And now Kane.
09:42Kane with those steps at hand.
09:44Oh my God.
09:46The Demon Kane.
09:47He squashed John Cena here.
09:53Oh my God.
09:54The steps up high.
09:55No, Cena went down low.
09:56And I think Kane's head bounced right off the steps.
09:58I think Kane came down and his head went right into the steps.
10:01He may be knocked out.
10:02What a move by Cena.
10:05Now if Cena can get Kane's lifeless body.
10:11And watch Kane's head snap back here now.
10:16Desperation counter by John Cena.
10:22And now John Cena looking to capitalize.
10:31Oh, look at this.
10:32Cena.
10:33Get him up.
10:34With Kane up on his shoulders.
10:35Oh, no, no, no, no.
10:36Kane DDT on the steps.
10:38Oh my God.
10:39DDT on the steps by Kane to Cena.
10:42That may do it.
10:44Well, no.
10:45Both these men down.
10:50Number one trend in the world right now on Twitter is hashtag stretcher match.
10:57Now Kane going to try to drag Cena out of the ring and put him on a stretcher.
11:02Then push that stretcher up the ramp across the finish line to qualify for the WWE world title match.
11:10The ladder match.
11:11I think Cena's out.
11:13He is, too.
11:14This is obviously the best chance so far in this match for Kane.
11:24And now Cena's out, guys.
11:27John Cena now on the stretcher.
11:29And Kane.
11:30What Kane's going to have to do now is push that stretcher up the ramp.
11:33And he's going to have to get up the ramp now and pull across the finish line.
11:36What's he going to be able to do here?
11:38He's on his way.
11:40And, again, Cena rolls off the stretcher, avoiding disaster for Cena at this point.
11:46Smart by John Cena.
11:52And Cena fired back.
11:54Right hands down to Kane.
11:57And now Kane bounced off the steel post.
11:59Bounced off the steel post.
12:01And now Cena attacking Kane.
12:03John Cena now full head of steam.
12:06Left hand now to Kane.
12:08And Cena continues to take the fight.
12:11And look out.
12:12Right into the barricade.
12:13Bounces right off the barricade.
12:28Kane destroying our announce table out here.
12:39And now look at Cena.
12:40John Cena with Kane up top.
12:42Cena with Kane up top.
12:44Tune adjustment.
12:45Through the table.
12:46Attitude adjustment through the table.
12:48Kane went through the table.
12:50Kane through the table.
12:51John Cena.
12:52What a desperation move by Cena.
12:59John Cena with the AA.
13:01Kane is hurt.
13:03Yeah, but they're both a long way from that stretcher.
13:05And even further away from that finish line.
13:11And now can John Cena somehow get Kane to that stretcher to John's point?
13:16Look at this one more time.
13:17Cena gets Kane up in the air.
13:19And over.
13:21Oh, and Kane blasted right through that table.
13:25And now Cena trying to drag the fight out of the ring.
13:29And now Cena trying to drag the 300-plus pound Kane to the stretcher
13:34that's located all the way on the other side of the ring.
13:37Forget about dragging.
13:38John Cena's going to carry Kane.
13:40Oh, my God.
13:41He's going to carry Kane over to the stretchers.
13:45Cena with Kane draped across his shoulders.
13:49But he's got to get him on that stretcher.
13:51The 300-pound plus man that he's carrying all the way to that stretcher.
13:56I don't know how John is doing that.
14:01Oh, John Cena.
14:02Just flat-out power guts here by Cena.
14:08He's got him.
14:10He's got him on the...
14:12Oh, yeah. Oh, man.
14:14And Cena's just...
14:15He's got to get him on that stretcher.
14:16And Cena's got to be exhausted, guys.
14:18Well, that's easier said than done right now.
14:20Cena, as you said, completely exhausted.
14:25And what does Cena have to do now?
14:29Bringing another stretcher into play.
14:34Now he's got to get Kane up again.
14:37Kane hasn't moved.
14:38This is dead weight.
14:39Cena's trying to get up onto the stretcher and in there.
14:43And now Cena's got him on the stretcher, guys.
14:45And John Cena.
14:46John Cena going to be closing in.
14:48Oh, who the hell?
14:50Seth Rollins.
14:51Seth Rollins.
14:52Seth Rollins and now Randy Orton.
14:55Oh, come on.
14:56Oh, no doubt.
14:57Hey, there's no disqualification.
14:59No, not at all.
15:00And Rollins and Orton attacking Cena.
15:04There's no doubt Orton doesn't want Cena in that ladder match.
15:07Rollins has got to be out here doing Triple H's bidding farewell to Cena.
15:14And if Kane can come to, all he's going to have to do is waltz over there
15:18and put Cena on a stretcher and win this.
15:22No, Seth Rollins with that steel chair again.
15:25We've seen what he's capable of with that.
15:27Hey, look at this.
15:28Hey, Ambrose.
15:29Dean Ambrose.
15:30Dean Ambrose.
15:31Ambrose attacking Rollins.
15:33Oh, watch out, Orton's got Ambrose.
15:34No, wait a minute.
15:36Ambrose going right after Rollins.
15:38Kane is back in this thing.
15:39Oh, no.
15:42Kane hooks right to Ambrose.
15:46Meanwhile, Cena trying to get back to his feet.
15:48Kane goes over the top rope.
15:50Great move by Cena.
15:52John Cena got to try to, if it's possible, regain his composure here.
15:56Get back in this thing.
15:58All hell has broken loose here.
16:00Cena eyeing those steel steps.
16:02Oh, my God.
16:06No way.
16:07Wait, John, not that.
16:08Now, wait, that's too much.
16:09Oh, goodness.
16:11What's this impact?
16:12Oh, my God.
16:13What a score, Kane.
16:16It knocked Kane back at least 10 feet.
16:19And now John Cena.
16:21Can he get Kane on the stretcher, guys?
16:23Can he get Kane up that ramp and win this?
16:26And punches to Ambrose.
16:28Oh, my goodness.
16:29Oh, my goodness.
16:31Oh, my goodness.
16:32Oh, my goodness.
16:33Oh, my goodness.
16:34Oh, my goodness.
16:35Oh, my goodness.
16:36Oh, my goodness.
16:37Oh, my goodness.
16:38Oh, my goodness.
16:39And punches, ticket to the ladder match at Money in the Bank.
16:43Well, they got their guy and pushes all the way up that ramp.
16:46There's a 300-pound-plus body on this stretcher.
16:50It's like lifting Thor's hammer, but somehow he got him up.
16:53And I'll tell you, I remember John Cena carried Kane from the other side of the ring over here at one point in this match.
16:58Now he's picking up 300 pounds, placing him on the stretcher.
17:01And John Cena's in the homestretch.
17:03Cena is in the homestretch.
17:07Cena now.
17:09Pushing the stretcher off the ramp.
17:12Come on, gain some momentum.
17:13John Cena.
17:15He's almost to the finish line here.
17:17And Kane.
17:18Kane rises up.
17:19Kane rises up just a few feet away from the finish line.
17:24Oh, no.
17:25Kane looking for a chokeslam on the steel stick.
17:27Oh, no.
17:28Cena reversed.
17:29Kane up top.
17:33AA on the stretcher.
17:36Cena wins.
17:37Cena wins.
17:38Cena's got his championship opportunity.
17:42And the winner, John Cena.
17:47John Cena becomes the last man to qualify for the WWE World Title match.
17:53And I'll be the first to say, John Cena deserves it.
17:57What an incredible match.
17:59I've never seen anybody who has a knack for winning big matches like John Cena.
18:04I don't think he needs you to jump on his bandwagon now, JBL.
18:06He's not jumping on the bandwagon.
18:08I'm simply telling the truth.
18:11What a great match.
18:13And there's the ultimate prize.
18:18And remember, ladies and gentlemen,
18:21at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view,
18:22the WWE and World Heavyweight titles will be hanging above the ring.
18:27One man is going to climb the ladder.
18:29One man is going to retrieve the titles.
18:31One man guaranteed to be the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
18:38Here's who's in.
18:39Alberto Del Rio.
18:41Randy Orton.
18:42Sheamus.
18:43Cesaro.
18:44Grey Wyatt.
18:46Roman Reigns.
18:47And now John Cena.
18:50You can see the Money in the Bank pay-per-view on the WWE Network,
18:54live, two weeks, in Boston, Massachusetts.
18:58This match just got really interesting.
19:02You can't see me.
19:04John Cena has a chance.
19:06A chance to become a 15-time World Champion.
