00:00They're out here to win the most coveted prize in the WWE,
00:02that being the WWE Championship.
00:05Oh, wait a minute.
00:06And Edge is already playing his mind games.
00:11What is he doing?
00:11Is he gonna call the match off or something?
00:13Oh, no, he's not.
00:14Well, they're not gonna call the match off.
00:15John Cena's not gonna have any of that.
00:17Cena beating Edge right back into the ring
00:20and a thumb to the eye.
00:21And Edge gains the advantage unfairly,
00:23but an advantage nonetheless.
00:27And Cena back up.
00:29One thing about Cena, he's so resilient.
00:30Watch this.
00:31And the low bridge by Edge.
00:35The number one contender over the top.
00:37Cena is down.
00:38Can he win the title tonight?
00:40We'll find out when we come back.
00:46The WWE Championship being decided here tonight
00:49on NBC's Saturday Night Main Event.
00:51Jim Ross and Jerry The King Lawler in Dallas, Texas.
00:54Oh, what a clothesline for the WWE Champion
00:56on the number one contender, John Cena.
00:5917,343 fans have sold out the American Airline Center
01:05to see this one-fall WWE Championship match.
01:10Oh, what a night this has been.
01:11What a match this has been.
01:12The Rated-R Superstar certainly taking it too.
01:15Oh, the number one contender, John Cena.
01:18Both men, their lives, their professional lives
01:21surrounded by controversy for various reasons.
01:25And Cena now set a straddle of that top turnbuckle
01:28in a precarious position in a right hand
01:31by the WWE Champion.
01:34And I know you're a big John Cena fan, JR,
01:36but I love it when Edge and of course Lita,
01:39when they win, because we get those great celebrations.
01:41Look out!
01:42The misstep by Edge, looking for a superplex.
01:46And man, Edge may have crashed and burned there.
01:48No telling what Edge has done to himself
01:51trying to destroy John Cena.
01:53Well, in the meantime, John Cena
01:54was dropped right on his head.
01:57Cena and Edge, crushing and burning Lita,
02:01the Lita factor on the outside.
02:03The champion, Edge's girlfriend.
02:08And of course, if this match ends by a count out,
02:10Edge retains the WWE title.
02:14Right hand by Cena.
02:16Cena now trying to build momentum.
02:17Check this out one more time.
02:18As Edge was trying to go to the top,
02:20like he said, foot slipped off the rope
02:21and that caused both men, oh!
02:23Edge right back in it.
02:25The perspiration on these ropes can make them very dangerous.
02:28And a kick right between the eyes.
02:30And that may be it, right there.
02:32It could be, no!
02:33But it's not, but it's not over.
02:35The WWE title continues here.
02:38Again, in this one-fall match.
02:41And remember, Cena must beat Edge.
02:43About ten-faller submission here.
02:45Man, what a kick in the face.
02:47You're right, check it out one more time.
02:49Ow!
02:51Man, how Edge kicked out of,
02:52or how Cena kicked out of that, I don't know.
02:54Cena got his headlights dimmed.
02:56And now if it becomes a fist fight,
02:58my money's on John Cena.
03:00Whether fans like him here in Dallas or not.
03:03Cena, thunderous right hand.
03:05Edge retaliates.
03:07We've got a fist fight.
03:08We've got a ballroom brawl.
03:12Right here, just for the heart attacks.
03:13Changing right hands harder, faster.
03:15Here they go, now some lefts from Cena.
03:17Oh, right hand!
03:19Right hand!
03:20It's bedlam, it's bedlam!
03:22By John Cena, taking down Edge, the WWE champion.
03:26The title's on the line.
03:28This crowd coming to their feet.
03:31Oh!
03:33Man, the more abuse John Cena took from Edge,
03:35the more it fired him up.
03:36And now, Cena's on, oh, look out.
03:38High impact move.
03:39This could be it.
03:40From this grunt John Cena.
03:43This little signature sign, you can't see me.
03:47And Edge is gonna see and feel the five knuckle shuffle.
03:50John Cena is in control here.
03:54John Cena has the WWE title in his sights.
04:02Yes!
04:05There's a two!
04:06Hey, hey!
04:07What the?
04:07Oh, no!
04:08Lita pulled the referee out of the ring.
04:11Lita!
04:12She just grabbed the referee by his ankles
04:13and yanked him right out of the ring.
04:15And I think his head bounced off that restraining wall.
04:18Yeah, Kyoto might kill the referee's face.
04:21Bounced off the floor like a basketball, I think.
04:23Lita pulled, Cena had to match, I think, one king.
04:27I mean, come on.
04:30Well, the referee counted two.
04:31That's the Lita factor we talked about.
04:33Lita, how valuable is she in ringside?
04:35But, oh, now Lita may be,
04:37she may have suffered the wrath of John Cena.
04:39Look out!
04:40Oh, Edge looking for the spear.
04:42Didn't happen.
04:43Dropped toe hold.
04:44That's Tia submission move.
04:47It's a dent.
04:49Cena won the title.
04:51Look at Lita, she still won't let the referee in the ring.
04:54Oh!
04:55Lita just slapped the referee right in the face.
04:59Edge is about to tap.
05:00And the referee's calling for the bell.
05:03Has Cena won the title?
05:05Has John Cena won the title?
05:07Did Edge tap out?
05:08He did, yes!
05:10The winner of this match is the result
05:11of a disqualification.
05:13John Cena!
05:15Oh, come on!
05:17Disqualification!
05:19Lita saved the title for Edge.
05:23However, the bell cannot switch hands
05:26on disqualification.
05:29Therefore, still WWE Champion, Edge!
05:35The reality is sinking in to John Cena right now.
05:38Lita got herself disqualified on Edge's behalf
05:41to save the WWE title.
05:43It's that simple.
05:44You think it was intentional or what?
05:46Oh yes, it was.
05:47That, that, look out, spear!
05:50Oh, the spear!
05:51A huge spear by Edge, almost breaking Cena in half.
05:57And thanks to the woman in Edge's life,
05:59the WWE Champion is gonna leave Dallas
06:03with his WWE title intact.
06:07John Cena wins the match,
06:09but he does not win the championship.
06:11And that means that this Monday night on Monday Night Raw
06:14on the USA Network, Edge will walk in once again
06:19the WWE Champion.
06:22Barely able to walk right now.
06:23Oh, look out!
06:24And Cena!
06:25Watch out!
06:27Cena's about to, Cena hurt him now.
06:31Oh!
06:32Cena assaulting Edge here.
06:34Watch it!
06:35Cena has lost control.
06:37John, don't do something you're not gonna like.
06:40Wait a minute.
06:41Don't do something you're gonna regret, John.
06:44There'll be another time.
06:46Oh my God.
06:47Oh my God!
06:47Oh my God!
06:50Cena, the television monitor,
06:52right in the face of the WWE Champion.
06:56Sit down.
06:58Cena wanted to leave Dallas, Texas
07:02as the WWE Champion.
07:04You better get out of the way.
07:06You wanna get involved.
07:08Cena needs to get herself out of here.
07:11I think John Cena just told Lita to watch this.
07:13What's he talking about?
07:16John Cena.
07:17No, no, no!
07:18No, John, don't do it!
07:19Don't do it, John!
07:21Don't do something you're gonna regret here!
07:23He's got Edge up!
07:26Oh, thank God, John's walking away out of the ring.
07:28Now to-
07:31Oh no!
07:32Oh God, you gotta be kidding.
07:33You know this ain't gonna happen.
07:35This cannot happen!
07:36John!
07:37Oh God!
07:37For the love of God!
07:43From the steps, through the air,
07:44to the table!
07:47All the way to Sam Antone!
07:50Oh my God!
07:51Lita may be sorry she ever got that
07:54disqualified on this one!
07:57Look at this!
08:00Hell of a fan!
08:01Does John Cena wanna be the WWE Champion?
08:06My God, I think we know the answer!
08:08Fair enough to bring Edge in half!
08:13Lita, look what happened!
08:15My God, he's sat on a car crash!
08:17Right beside his team!
