00:00Ladies and gentlemen, the Viper, Randy Orton, looking to close in on history tonight.
00:23If he wins this match, he'll be a 15 time world champion.
00:29One off the record held by John Cena and Ric Flair, and this is personal, Corey, Randy
00:36Orton had a year and a half of his career cut short because of the bloodline.
00:4118 months away from the thing the Viper loves the most, WWE, competing in front of the WWE
00:51universe, feeding off of the energy that is running rampant right now through Tropicana
00:57Field as the Viper prepares for battle.
01:0118 months away from what he was put on this earth to do, and I think Orton knows 18 months.
01:11Some protein shakes, some workouts.
01:13He looks phenomenal.
01:14What is this guy?
01:15275 pounds right now?
01:16The best shape of his illustrious career, and Randy knows he needs to be.
01:23Holy hell.
01:25Randy Orton has had a lot of success at this event.
01:27He's a two time Royal Rumble match winner in 2009 and in 2017.
01:39It's been over three years since Randy Orton's been a champion, a singles champion here in
01:46WWE.
01:47But many believe tonight's the night.
02:18I mean, look at this.
02:19This guy is...
02:20Orton's legs are as big as my waist.
02:21The guy is a monster.
02:22Absolute monster.
02:23He's obviously a tactician.
02:24An amazing scene at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.
02:25It feels like WrestleMania.

03:14It feels like WrestleMania.
03:15It feels like WrestleMania.
03:29Here's another man who missed a number of months of action because of attacks by the
03:34Bloodline.
03:35One of the best in the world, the phenomenal AJ Styles,
03:40who back in 2016, made his WWE debut in this event in the Royal Rumble match.
03:48I think it's safe to say that Styles has made an overabundance of history since
03:52then, two world championship reigns, countless fantastic matchup.
03:58And tonight, AJ could add to that list.
04:00And Corey, I've known AJ Styles well over 20 years.
04:03And I talked about this last night with you on SmackDown.
04:06AJ's developed this inferiority complex for
04:09some reason over the past number of months.
04:12And it seems in a weird sort of way, that's what's driving him.
04:17I'm gonna disagree with you, Cole.
04:18I also have known AJ Styles for around two decades.
04:21And this is not an inferiority complex.
04:23This is AJ Styles looking within, realizing that what he was doing wasn't working.
04:28It got him hurt.
04:29It got him taken out by the bloodline.
04:31You don't do the same thing and expect a different result.
04:34Styles is just tapping in to what's deep inside.
04:37I have not known him for two decades, but he's had three Hall of Fame careers.
04:42He knows at the very top, very much know how to drive themselves to greater things.
04:47And if he wants to feel an inferiority complex to win a championship,
04:51do whatever you need to do, Phenomenal One.
04:53Ladies and gentlemen, let's have a hand up to the blue collar boys.
04:58Fill these out and get back in line.
05:03I'm on break.
05:06Yeah.
05:07Let me talk to you.
05:12Want to shift gears?
05:13Yeah.
05:14Step into a slim Jim.
05:17Stare into the space.
05:20Get out of line.
05:23Yeah.
05:24You statement, step into a slim Jim.
05:27Oh, yeah.
05:28Slim Jims are delightful.
05:47And so is this man.
05:51We all love Slim Jim because this match is presented by Slim Jim.
06:01Get savage with America's favorite bold and spicy meat stick.
06:06Step in to a slim Jim.
06:08Oh, yeah.
06:10That was nice.
06:11That was pretty good.
06:12You bring up meat sticks.
06:13I'm going to go bananas.
06:15Love Slim Jim.
06:17Well, here's a man in L.A.
06:19Night who truly believes that had it not been for the bloodline,
06:22he would have dethroned Roman at Crown Jewel.
06:24And guess what, Pat?
06:25Here we have members of Slim Jim's long boy gang,
06:29excited for the undisputed WWE Universal Championship,
06:32made a four-way match and a chance to win a prize package,
06:34including the custom Slim Jim car, a trip to WrestleMania and $75,000.
06:40Visit www.com slash Slim Jim car suite for more information and your chance
06:45to win, step into a Slim Jim.
06:49That's the LBG, the long boy gang?
06:51Yeah, and I guess they found the car.
06:55Yeah, so apparently first car stolen, this one even better.
06:59Oh, really?
07:00Yeah.
07:02Yeah.
07:04Yeah.
07:15Oh, yeah.
07:16I missed this.
07:19I missed this, Colt.
07:20One thousand, two hundred, forty-five days,
07:49nearly three and a half years as the undisputed champion.
07:56The tribal chief still running every city he walks into.
08:02You like to hear people talk about aura.
08:05When it comes to aura, the tribal chief is absolutely unmatched.
08:11Roman Reigns tonight, unbothered.
08:14And Reigns possesses such an aura that oftentimes,
08:18he will have a match won before the opening bell even rings.
08:23Lot of ones to the sky here in gorgeous St. Pete.
08:29During this championship reign, Roman Reigns
08:33is defended in matches like Hell in a Cell, I Quit, Tables, Ladders,
08:41and Chairs, Steel Cage, Last Man Standing,
08:47Hell in a Cell, Extreme Rules, Tribal Combat, Triple Threat,
08:54but never in a fatal four-way match, where
09:01he has just 25% chance of keeping the championship.
09:08The important thing to remember in this matchup
09:11is, much like a Royal Rumble match, every man for himself.
09:17It's not three against Roman.
09:19And in fact, Roman doesn't even have to be pinned or submitted
09:23to lose his undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
09:27But the tribal chief looks ready for war.
09:31And he continues to march his way through history.
09:37Oney Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, Bob Backlund
09:45have held world titles longer than Roman Reigns.
09:54How many days, Cole?
09:561,245.
10:04We love to hear the fans have discussions about who's
10:07on your Mount Rushmore.
10:09But when it comes to Roman Reigns,
10:11this man is his own mountain.
10:14We also love to hear the discussion from WWE fans
10:17about, well, Roman Reigns doesn't defend every week.
10:22Roman Reigns only defends the title every couple of months.
10:26Here's what I say about that.
10:31Beat him.
10:33I completely agree with you.
10:35And while people may complain, look at this stadium, Cole.
10:40Look at the thousands upon thousands
10:43of WWE fans in the truck, the millions around the world,
10:48all here to experience Roman Reigns.
10:54The following is a Fatal 4-Way match.
10:58And it is for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
11:11Introducing the challengers, first, from St. Louis, Missouri,
11:17weighing in at 275 pounds, The Viper, Randy Orton!
11:27Next, from Gainesville, Georgia, weighing in at 218 pounds,
11:35The Phenomenal AJ Styles!
11:39Next, from Gainesville, Georgia, weighing in at 218 pounds,
11:47The Phenomenal AJ Styles!
11:52Next, from Los Angeles, California,
11:56weighing in at 240 pounds, LA Knight!
12:09And their opponent, The Phenomenal AJ Styles!
12:22Accompanied to the ring by his special counsel,
12:25The Wise Man, Paul Heyman!
12:29From Pensacola, Florida, weighing in at 265 pounds,
12:36he is the Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion,
12:48Roman Reigns!
12:58So here we go, ladies and gentlemen,
13:00at the Royal Rumble.
13:02Roman Reigns defending the Undisputed WWE Championship
13:06against three of the best in the world today,
13:08Knight, Styles, and Randy Orton.
13:10It is a big fight feel.
13:12It is a big fight atmosphere.
13:14Over 40,000 at the drop in St. Pete, ready to go.
13:21Think about the bravado of Roman Reigns,
13:24opting to enter last, making all three challengers wait,
13:27making all three challengers stare at every step Roman
13:31took on the way to the ring, knowing
13:34that they have an impossible task of dethroning
13:38the tribal chief, the head of the table,
13:40the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
13:44And already you can see the disagreements that
13:47are bubbling here between Knight, Styles,
13:50and most likely Orton as well.
13:51These three have been involved in the personal animosity
13:55for weeks now leading up to this match-up.
13:57And Roman Reigns realizes, this could benefit me.
14:07Maybe not so fast.
14:08Some politicking going on in here.
14:16Uh-oh.
14:17Roman trying to escape, and Styles and Knight and Orton
14:20are going to make him pay, going to punish him.
14:22Remember, first man to gain pinfall or submission
14:25will win the WWE Championship.
14:28No disqualification, no count out.
14:31And it's a smart move by LA Knight
14:32to bend the rules right out of the gate.
14:34You're not going to get disqualified.
14:36Might as well use it.
14:38Roman Reigns, as he's had to for many years now,
14:41needs to weather what will be an emotional storm by all three
14:45of these superstars.
14:46And Styles goes right after LA Knight.
14:48Remember, AJ Styles feels that LA Knight disrespected him
14:52by stepping up after the Bloodline had taken Styles
14:55out of the situation.
14:57Corey, for years and years now, Roman Reigns
15:00has faced these battles, all kinds of different odds,
15:03like tonight in the Fatal 4-Way.
15:04But he continues to be resilient and holding
15:06on to the championship, which seems
15:07to give him the edge in a match like this.
15:10No, I don't know, because it doesn't
15:11matter how resilient he is.
15:12Anybody else can get pinned by anybody, and it's over.
15:15Roman Reigns is exposed this evening.
15:18That could certainly be argued that Roman Reigns possesses
15:21the same exact chance as all four
15:23competitors in this matchup, 25%.
15:27He's the champion.
15:28He deserves 26% at some point.
15:31Oh, what a clothesline by LA Knight.
15:34And listen, it was the wheeling and dealing of the wise man,
15:36Paul Heyman, that got us here in the first place.
15:39A power-hungry Aldis, too.
15:41Yeah, Nick Aldis, the general manager of SmackDown,
15:43who's butted heads with Roman Reigns.
15:45LA Knight eyeballing AJ Styles.
15:48Yeah.
15:49AJ, uh, oh, he got something.
15:55And now Styles bounced right off our announce table.
15:57And yet again, and a third time.
16:01And LA Knight having fun dribbling AJ Styles.
16:04Yeah.
16:05Like Jimmy Butler does down in Miami.
16:07Yeah.
16:11I mean, just playing basketball with AJ Styles down.
16:15Now Roman Reigns is handing it up again.
16:17And it's Roman Reigns right on the announce table,
16:20spying first.
16:22Our tribal chief has been laid out here in front of us.
16:27And LA Knight going to do the same to Styles.
16:31How about that?
16:32That was pretty damn good.
16:33They're comparing their work.
16:35And Randy Orton, though, kicked in the midsection.
16:37Remember, don't trust a viper.
16:39And Randy Orton now going to, LA Knight
16:41going to land on his feet.
16:44And right now, bouncing Orton face first off the table.
16:47Yeah!
16:48Yeah!
16:49Yeah!
16:50Yeah!
16:50Yeah!
16:51Yeah!
16:52Yeah!
16:53Yeah!
16:54Yeah!
16:54Yeah!
16:55Yeah!
16:56Yeah!
16:57Yeah!
16:58Yeah!
16:58It has been a tremendous rise in fame and popularity
17:03for LA Knight here in WWE.
17:06A groundswell of support, which has propelled
17:08Knight to where he is tonight.
17:10Here we go.
17:10And now Randy Orton dropping Knight right on the table.
17:14A little extra vitriol behind that one from the viper.
17:18LA Knight's been working for decades to get to this moment.
17:22And now Reigns and Orton exchanging blows.
17:26And Randy Orton going to drive the tribal chief
17:29into the steps.
17:30I want to ask you, as a former pro athlete, in your opinion,
17:33is time off a curse or a blessing for an injury?
17:37Well, if it works, you say, yeah, it was a blessing.
17:39If it doesn't, you say rust.
17:41But Randy Orton's been doing this in his sleep
17:42since he was a child.
17:43Sure.
17:44But Randy Orton also missed 18 months.
17:46AJ Styles missed several months.
17:49Of the three challengers, the one with the most ring time
17:51recently, the one closest to the top of their game, LA Knight.
17:55I'm curious to see if that's going to be a factor.
17:57Well, I believe in momentum as well.
17:59And nobody has it more than LA Knight.
18:01And Randy Orton now with the classic Orton stomps
18:05to the legs and knees of the champion Roman Reigns.
18:11Orton just measuring, talked about this for so long,
18:15the absolute absence of malice when it comes
18:19to the WWE's apex predator.
18:22Roman's on over the top rope to the floor.
18:25You need that to get to the top pole.
18:26You know that.
18:28I would say there's no absence of malice between any
18:30of these four competitors.
18:32And here comes AJ Styles.
18:33We have to mention the shape that AJ
18:35came back in after his injury.
18:37Maybe the best shape of Styles' phenomenal career.
18:39Had a chance to talk to AJ earlier today
18:42as Orton explodes out of the corner.
18:43AJ said he's never been more focused
18:46than he has been recently.
18:47Randy Orton, the power slam.
18:50Vintage Randy Orton.
18:55LA Knight misses wildly.
18:57Hang on, and then the kick right to the face of the Viper.
19:00Roman Reigns back into the mix.
19:02LA Knight, though, side rushing legs sweep to the champ.
19:10LA Knight now stomping away at a downed Viper in the corner.
19:13This match about as chaotic as we expected.
19:18Pinfall submission, only way to win it.
19:22LA Knight into the corner.
19:23AJ Styles runs into a clothesline on the apron.
19:28And if you're AJ Styles, this is the last place you want to be
19:30because this match can end in the blink of an eye
19:32without you being involved.
19:34Speaking of.
19:35Roman, cover to retain the championship.
19:37And a kick out.
19:39LA Knight is red hot right now.
19:42He has to try to cash in on that momentum.
19:46What's up about being red hot?
19:48Guy with the red boots.
19:51Roman Reigns has been red hot for what?
19:52Three and a half years.
19:53Bingo!
19:56If you want to go all the way back to late 2019,
19:58that's the last time he was actually pinned
20:00in a singles matchup.
20:02Pay attention to how deliberate Roman is
20:05with each movement he makes inside the ring.
20:08Reigns has his head on the swivel,
20:10trying to keep an eye on each opponent
20:12so that he doesn't get caught.
20:15Yeah, and this is the pace Roman likes.
20:17Slowing the pace down.
20:20Every single movement means something.
20:23Roman will use his power, his body weight
20:26to grind you down, to wear you down.
20:28And then, Roman can tap into that next gear
20:31and unleash explosivity second to none.
20:34And also trash talk you.
20:36Get in your face, tell you all about it.
20:38Knight being battered right now by the head of the table.
20:45And Roman Reigns, oh, down goes Knight.
20:47Big clothesline.
20:53Still throwing 105 on the tape.
20:56And there's the confidence.
20:57There's the cockiness of the champion.
21:04Well, he's not cocky, he's confident.
21:06So when you say he's the best, it's a compliment, okay?
21:10And how could you not be?
21:11If you woke up and looked in the mirror and saw that,
21:14and then you look at your resume
21:15and realize you're the greatest of all time.
21:17Roman Reigns, an absolute thoroughbred.
21:20If I looked like that, I'd actually look in the mirror.
21:23Smart for you to have a mirror-less house, Cole.
21:26And now Styles, here we see AJ Styles sneaking up on Roman.
21:30Yeah, the chop-lock in the back of the knee,
21:32and now AJ Styles picks a body part and goes to work.
21:35And that was an almost uncharacteristic mistake
21:37by Reigns, who got caught in the moment.
21:39He was admiring his subjects
21:41here in the middle of his kingdom.
21:42And again, Corey, remember,
21:43he's never been in a fatal four-way
21:45while defending the title.
21:46It's a different mindset.
21:48You've got to have eyes in the back of your head.
21:50Oh, and what a back-body drop!
21:54You were dialing your travel jeep there
21:56for a moment, boys.
22:00You don't think he and the wise man
22:01have read every book about a fatal four-way match?
22:03Oh, they've got a plan.
22:04There's no doubt about that.
22:09Yeah, ones to the sky.
22:12There's a lot of ones in the air here at the drop.
22:15Like a puppet master, Roman playing the WWE universe.
22:20Here we go.
22:21Locked and loaded.
22:28Went for the Superman punch.
22:29LA Knight able to duck underneath,
22:30and now LA Knight delivering the right and left hands.
22:33And he's got Roman Reigns reeling on his heels.
22:39Down goes the champ.
22:43LA Knight rolling.
22:47Down goes Roman again.
22:50LA Knight with an EDT.
22:52Randy Orton quickly back into the matchup,
22:55and he runs into a big slam by Knight.
22:58Hooks the leg for the championship,
23:01and a kick out again if Knight had pinned Orton
23:03and it would have been over.
23:09Look at this back-body drop,
23:10and the height that AJ Styles got
23:12before crashing to the mat.
23:14Another couple of feet,
23:15we'd have a sunroof on Tropicana Field.
23:18And there's DDT spiking Roman right on his dome.
23:22And a power slam for Randy Orton,
23:24but now AJ looking to make the climb
23:25to the top turnbuckle,
23:26and LA Knight thwarted that plot.
23:28Did he just punch a tooth out of his mouth right there?
23:30Entirely possible.
23:32Big rights from LA Knight.
23:34Interesting watching Heyman wander around ringside,
23:38or waddle.
23:40Heyman might need...
23:41As he looks on at the problem with Roman Reigns,
23:45and now Randy Orton.
23:49Knight whipped into the corner.
23:52Boot catches Orton in the face.
23:55LA Knight with a bulldog.
23:57Now this isn't bad for Roman Reigns,
23:58letting the other three beat the hell out of each other.
24:00Athleticism absurd.
24:03Yeah, super punch by Knight.
24:07Incredible.
24:08I'm gonna disagree with you, Pat,
24:10because Roman could...
24:11Oh, there we go.
24:12Yeah, Roman back into the ring,
24:13trying to take advantage.
24:15Wise man's going through it out here.
24:17Is that concern on the face?
24:19Oh!
24:19Got him!
24:20No way!
24:21Got him for the title!
24:22For the title!
24:23And AJ Styles fell into it!
24:25Knight had Reigns won!
24:27He had a beat!
24:29Unbelievable.
24:35And again, in a match like this,
24:37make no mistake about it,
24:38AJ wasn't trying to save Roman Reigns.
24:41AJ was preserving his own opportunity
24:44to keep this match alive.
24:45Styles with a clothesline.
24:46Man, it was so close for LA Knight.
24:49And now AJ Styles,
24:50knee right to the back of the neck.
24:52Uh-oh.
24:52And I think Styles may have hurt his knee.
24:57Came down on an oddly.
24:59Listen, if anyone's willing to fight
25:00through the pain, through the agony,
25:02it's the phenomenal AJ Styles.
25:05And remember, Cole,
25:06when Styles debuted in the Royal Rumble match,
25:08who was alone in the ring?
25:09Oh, Mr. Reigns.
25:10So much history in this matchup,
25:12and we could have a Styles clash on tap!
25:14And Styles, if he can hit this here,
25:16he may win the WWE Championship
25:19for a third time in his career!
25:22Styles Clash!
25:23Oh, my God!
25:23AJ Styles for the championship!
25:26And the end, and just saving it,
25:29is LA Knight.
25:32So we had a BFT, we had a Styles Clash.
25:35Could you imagine if AJ Styles just became
25:39our universal champion and dethrone Roman Reigns?
25:42We are on the road to WrestleMania.
25:45This is the 37th annual Royal Rumble event.
25:48Beautiful St. Petersburg, Florida.
25:50Tropicana Field.
25:51This is for the Undisputed Championship.
25:53Reigns, Knight, Orton, Styles in a Fatal 4-Way.
26:07Vintage Orton!
26:15Randy with just a long career
26:17and concern of shoulder injuries.
26:20Randy's another one who knows what it means
26:22to fight through the pain.
26:24Suffer later, win now.
26:26And now the Apex Predator is coiled and ready to strike.
26:31Keep your eyes on the back corner behind Orton,
26:34who has no idea.
26:35Styles is lying in wait!
26:38Styles, forearm delivered to the face of Orton.
26:41Now launches off the top rope.
26:43Randy Orton caught him.
26:45RKO!
26:47And that one wasn't out of nowhere.
26:51Another RKO!
26:58It's RKO Reigns!
27:00Out of the Superman Punch, out of midair,
27:03covering Randy.
27:04Randy Orton, for the 15th time in his career,
27:08to win a world championship.
27:11And!
27:12Oh, you've got to be kidding me!
27:14Solo Sakoa just yanked the official
27:19out of the ring, off the count.
27:26Randy Orton had the championship won.
27:32But there are no disqualifications.
27:35Randy, focus on Roman.
27:37Focus on Knight.
27:38Solo's not in the match.
27:41And Solo Sakoa may pay.
27:44Solo and Spike!
27:51There's nothing anybody can do about this
27:53because it's no disqualification.
27:55Soon as we heard those rules,
27:56that there was no rules, Spike!
27:58We knew the bloodline was gonna do something.
28:01For the past several weeks,
28:02Solo has been doing everything in his power
28:05to fix Roman's problem.
28:07This four-way problem.
28:09The three challengers at once.
28:11Better late than never.
28:13Oh, no.
28:14But the tribal air is stacking them.
28:18They've been smashed, they've been stacked.
28:22Roman Reigns promised that they would be stacked tonight.
28:27Knight and Orton in trouble, down and out.
28:31Solo Sakoa now turns his attention to AJ Styles.
28:39This is gonna be big-time impact.
28:46And Solo Sakoa, nobody home!
28:48AJ Styles moving out of harm's way!
28:53Oh, my, the force of Solo Sakoa.
28:58AJ Styles survives.
29:00Oh, look at the Reigns.
29:01Roman Reigns trying to make it back to his feet.
29:04The official's back in the ring.
29:06Heyman begging Reigns to go for the victory.
29:11And the official can't count
29:12because both Knight and Orton's shoulders
29:14are on the mat simultaneously.
29:17Roman is just savoring the moment.
29:22Roman's still stunned.
29:23AJ Styles, phenomenal forearm.
29:26Everybody stacked up.
29:27Roman stacked.
29:28AJ Styles for the championship!
29:31And a kickout by everybody!
29:34The entire pile kicking out!
29:42Let's look back moments ago.
29:45Solo Sakoa obliterating the barricade.
29:49AJ right on the money with a phenomenal forearm.
29:54As circumstances would have it, Reigns falls on the pile.
29:57AJ makes the cover, and Orton, Knight, and Reigns
30:02all simultaneously kick out.
30:04This is nuts!
30:09Well, this is awesome chants at the drop
30:12for four of the best in the world,
30:14battling it out for the undisputed WWE Championship.
30:18Yes, it is.
30:20This is awesome.
30:22As the wise man's in tears, and AJ Styles,
30:26well, he was the last one standing.
30:28Styles thinking about now
30:31if anything he wants, because there really are no rules
30:34in this match.
30:36Get you an insurance policy, AJ.
30:42AJ Styles saying the Bloodline can do what they want,
30:45I'm gonna do what I want.
30:47Fight fire with fire.
30:50Saw this last night on SmackDown.
30:54Last night, AJ hesitated, had a few second thoughts.
30:58It's pedal to the metal tonight.
31:01Styles staring right across the ring at Paul Heyman,
31:04who is begging AJ Styles show mercy.
31:08It's against humanity!
31:10Have you no humanity?
31:15Roman had no clue where he is right now.
31:17AJ Styles, oh!
31:18Styles, chair right to the midsection,
31:20and now AJ Styles tainted off on the champion.
31:26Roman getting beat down by AJ Styles.
31:31No rules, the ref's only there to count.
31:33And now turns his attention to the man he believes
31:36has been standing in his way.
31:38Stepping through him, stepping over him, LA Knight.
31:43This has gotta be cathartic for AJ Styles,
31:45mangling that steel chair across the body of the megastar.
31:54Styles in firm control right now.
31:58And now it may be Randy Orton's turn.
32:01I like this strategy from Styles, inflict additional, oh!
32:04Randy Orton said, uh-uh, the Viper struck.
32:08Big uppercut knocked Styles out of the ring.
32:10Well, I like where AJ's head was at.
32:12Spear!
32:16Talk about explosivity, Corey.
32:18Yes, sir, there it was.
32:20But Randy Orton rolling out of harm's way
32:22wisely after the spear.
32:24And now LA Knight with Roman Reigns,
32:28up and down, planting Reigns.
32:33Dropping the elbow.
32:36Is it LA Knight's moment?
32:40Can it be Knight's moment?
32:46CFP, no, oh God, oh no.
32:49Oh my goodness.
32:50Styles was on-
32:52Superman punch.
32:53On the top rope for the, and a spear to Styles.
32:58Cover by Roman Reigns.
33:01Roman Reigns does it again.
33:05Wow.
33:05Here is your winner, and still
33:11the undisputed WWE Universal Champion,
33:20Roman Reigns!
33:28He has been unstoppable, Cole.
33:31He has been unbeatable.
33:33You have no choice, Michael Cole.
33:35I know it pains you.
33:36I know we don't sometimes agree
33:38with the methods that Roman employs,
33:40but let's start talking.
33:42God mode, greatest of all time,
33:45Roman Reigns just did it again.
33:49And you could say solo in the bloodline helps, sure.
33:53But there was a chair involved.
33:55There was an eye dodge involved.
33:57I gotta take a look now at some of the action
34:00in this matchup.
34:01Roman Reigns surviving here tonight
34:04in this fatal four-way at the Royal Rumble event.
34:08There's a real turning point.
34:09Reigns delivering a spear to Orton.
34:11LA Knight would look for another BFT
34:14and unintentionally cause Styles
34:18to get hung across the top rope.
34:20Superman punch from the Tribal Chief.
34:24And a spear that nearly cut Styles clean in half.
34:29The bell rang.
34:31God mode was engaged.
34:33And still.
34:38At the end of the day, say what you want.
34:41Complain about it.
34:44It doesn't matter.
34:47Because Roman Reigns record-setting 1,245 days
34:52as your undisputed WWE champion continues tonight.
34:58And Roman Reigns' march to WrestleMania is on.
35:06Wow.
35:09Three and a half years and counting.
35:16Well, the question is, could Roman Reigns be the choice?
