00:00We're back on Monday Night Raw Live.
00:01John, do you want a hanky to dab the tears
00:04of what should be an emotional ceremony here tonight?
00:06The statue of Jesus.
00:07I imagine the unveiling of Teddy Roosevelt on Mount Rushmore.
00:10That is about what we're seeing for sports entertainment.
00:12This is an incredible, historic night.
00:14Yeah, sure it is.
00:16Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
00:20Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, The Authority!
00:26Earlier tonight, Triple H told Seth Rollins
00:30that you're no longer the future of WWE.
00:33You are the man, and you're gonna take your place
00:36among the gods of this industry.
00:39How great is Triple H to keep his word to Seth Rollins?
00:43He and the beautiful Miss Stephanie McMahon
00:45said they would give him a statue,
00:47and that is exactly what they're about to do.
00:49So maybe what they should do
00:51when they unveil the statue tonight
00:53is they should have a statue of Jon Stewart
00:55next to the statue of Seth Rollins
00:57because Jon Stewart is the reason Seth Rollins is the champ.
00:59I agree with that.
01:01I still can't believe this is actually gonna happen.
01:02We're actually gonna see Seth Rollins
01:03immortalized here live on Raw.
01:06Let's get broken today.
01:12Bow down to the, bow down to the king.
01:16Gonna remember this night forever.
01:19This is history.
01:21I'm gonna get in a lot of trouble for this.
01:25There's a big celebration tonight to be had
01:28in Seth Rollins' name, for sure,
01:30but there's also a big celebration
01:33for a man who is responsible for all of us being here.
01:38He's the father of WWE, you could call him,
01:42and he is celebrating his 70th birthday today.
01:46And that's my father, Vince McMahon.
01:53Now, I know that he will not come out here,
01:57so I would like to ask all of you
01:58to please join me in singing Happy Birthday.
02:04Happy birthday to you.
02:09Happy birthday to you.
02:14Happy birthday to you.
02:19Happy birthday, dear Mr. McMahon.
02:25Happy birthday to you.
02:31And many more, many more.
02:35We love you.
02:43We want Vince.
02:46I don't think you're gonna get him.
02:49He is so pissed off in the back right now,
02:51it's not even funny.
02:53That's not why we did it.
02:56But let's get down to business.
03:00If you're looking for a superstar
03:03to immortalize in bronze,
03:07you look for Vince McMahon.
03:11In bronze, you look for something specific.
03:18You look for a certain talent that you can invest in.
03:22You want somebody that will work harder than everybody else.
03:28You want somebody that will be the first to arrive
03:31and the last to leave every single night,
03:37because that man has hustle.
03:42That man is Seth Rollins.
03:48If you were looking for somebody to immortalize in bronze,
03:52you would be looking for somebody
03:55that would want to ensure that they were paying back
03:59the people that had faith in them since the beginning.
04:04That is called loyalty.
04:09Seth Rollins has loyalty.
04:14If you were looking for somebody to immortalize in bronze,
04:17you would look for somebody that respected those,
04:21that helped them, that got them where they are
04:24and would want to show them that.
04:28You would have respect.
04:31Seth Rollins has that hustle, loyalty, respect.
04:37That is Seth Rollins, but he has one more thing,
04:42one more oh-so-important thing
04:45that nobody else has at this time.
04:50You see, because Seth Rollins,
04:54unlike some people, is a winner.
04:59Amen.
05:01He will do whatever it takes to ensure that he is a winner.
05:07Seth Rollins at this moment is that winner
05:11because he is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion
05:19and the United States Champion,
05:25which means that Seth Rollins deserves
05:29to be immortalized in bronze.
05:32So without further ado, let me bring out,
05:37no longer the future, let me bring out the man.
05:45Ladies and gentlemen, Seth Rollins.
05:51Wow.
05:54♪
05:58Triple H feels very highly of this man.
06:03That's pretty obvious.
06:05Well, he should.
06:07If anybody recognizes talent, it is Triple H,
06:09the CEO of the company.
06:14Seth Rollins can indeed be the first man ever
06:18to hold the United States Championship
06:20and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship currently.
06:25Let's go, bro.
06:27You got it.
06:28Monday Night Raw is live tonight
06:30in Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
06:3215,597 WWE fans on hand.
06:38What a night it's been.
06:39The return of the Dudley Boys,
06:41D-Von and Bubba Ray earlier on tonight.
06:44We saw John Cena, A.A.,
06:47Jon Stewart in the middle of the ring.
06:51A new Wyatt family member, John, was unveiled.
06:54Braun Strowman.
06:56The birth of a monster.
06:59And now we're watching the crowning achievement
07:03in his champion's life.
07:05I got a feeling this is going to be real special.
07:08It's like watching Joe DiMaggio in his prime.
07:15Thank you, Seth.
07:17Thank you, Hunter.
07:19Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
07:21Tonight is an incredible night, not just for me,
07:26not just for you guys,
07:28but for everybody in this building
07:31and everybody in the WWE universe.
07:35This is incredible.
07:43Tonight I joined the Mount Rushmore of WWE.
07:48The elite of the elite.
07:50I mean, this might be bigger than a Hall of Fame induction.
07:54This is like Monument Park at Yankee Stadium
08:00where the legends of baseball lore
08:04are immortalized forever.
08:06Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle.
08:11This is like whatever you guys in Brooklyn
08:14have here to immortalize your Brooklyn Nets.
08:19I mean, wait, that sounds wrong, right?
08:22There aren't really any legendary Brooklyn Nets, right?
08:25They all kind of stink, don't they?
08:29Oh, sorry.
08:32I'm a little flustered.
08:34Yeah, let's get this back on track.
08:35Let's get this back on track.
08:37Look, I'm reminded of a very appropriate adage for tonight.
08:44Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.
08:51And last night in this very ring when I defeated John Cena
08:59and became the first man ever to hold both
09:03the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
09:07and the United States Championship,
09:09at the same time, I became a legend.
09:24And tonight, with the unveiling of this statue, tonight,
09:38just give me a minute.
09:39This is huge.
09:49Tonight, with the unveiling of this statue, I become immortal.
10:01Now, I've said a lot of terrible things about John
10:04Cena over the last month.
10:06Most of them well-deserved.
10:09I called John Cena a disease that has plagued
10:14the WWE for the last 10 years.
10:17I said that I was the cure that was
10:19going to eradicate that disease.
10:22And I meant every single word of it.
10:27But there is a reason John Cena has
10:31sat atop the mountain of WWE for the last 10 years.
10:37It's because John Cena has worked every single day
10:44to be the man.
10:47And let's make no mistake about it.
10:49For the last 10 years, John Cena has
10:53Truth.
10:57But to be the man, ha ha, you know where this is going.
11:05You've got to beat the man.
11:07And that is exactly what I did last night, baby.
11:12So when we unveil this statue, I'm
11:16going to be the man that you've all been waiting for.
11:20When we unveil this statue, as of that moment,
11:24just like you said, Trips, I am no longer the future of WWE.
11:31I am the man.
11:36And after I go on to main event WrestleMania,
11:40after WrestleMania, after WrestleMania,
11:44this statue will stand when I am long retired.
11:49Hell, when I am dead and gone, this statue
11:52will live forever in recognition of my legacy.
12:00Bruno Sammartino, the ultimate warrior.
12:13Andre the Giant.
12:16And now, Seth Rollins.
12:25It's time, baby.
12:26I can't wait anymore.
12:28I can't wait anymore.
12:30Brooklyn, are you ready?
12:34No, no, no, no, no, no.
12:36This one's for you.
12:37I said Brooklyn, are you ready?
12:44Well, let's do this, baby, because the champ is here.
13:03What the hell?
13:08Oh, my God, it's Sting.
13:11Oh, my God.
13:12It's the icon.
13:14It's Sting with a right hand to Rollins.
13:19Here comes Sting, the man.
13:24Sting with a right hand to Rollins.
13:29Here comes Sting, the man.
13:35And Sting with a right hand to Rollins.
13:39Here comes Sting, the vigilante.
13:42The franchise, FWCW.
13:45We're talking about a true immortal.
13:47Sting ruining Seth Rollins' night.
13:53And here comes the Stinger Splash.
13:59And there goes Rollins.
14:01Sting has stuck it to the authority again.
14:04I can't believe this.
14:13No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
14:15No.
14:16This is my moment.
14:17You're dead, Sting.
14:18That is my moment.
14:20That is mine.
14:21No.
14:25Never.
14:26No.
14:27Never.
14:28No.
14:29This is my moment.
14:30No.
14:31This is my moment.
14:35What a moment on an historic Monday Night Raw.
14:42Sting returns with a vengeance and gets the best of the authority again.
14:54Well, apparently, ladies and gentlemen, we've just been informed that coming up
14:59next only on the WWE Network, an exclusive interview with Triple H
15:04about the situation that just went down with Sting.
15:08Triple H exclusively on the WWE Network right now.
15:13Well, as Seth said, and it works for Sting tonight,
15:17heroes get remembered.
15:19What an unbelievable Monday Night Raw.
15:29No.
15:30This is my moment.
15:35Good night, everybody.
15:37Good night, everybody.
