00:00WWE Championship, Kofi Kingston defends against Brock Lesnar.
00:03Distinct physical advantage for The Beast Brock Lesnar.
00:06Historically speaking, Brock Lesnar has struggled against smaller opponents.
00:10It might seem unlikely, but
00:12Kofi Kingston could use that to his advantage tonight.
00:15Kofi has beaten bigger challengers in his career.
00:19And there you see Rob Stone and
00:21Matt Rynard of Fox College Football here enjoying.
00:24Isn't that former 24-7 champion Rob Stone?
00:27He sent me a mean tweet yesterday.
00:28I'm gonna have words with him when we're done.
00:29And here comes The Beast.
00:33And it's been said before,
00:38but Brock Lesnar is the most
00:43decorated combat athlete in
00:48the history of WWE.
00:52A former UFC champion, former NCAA heavyweight champion,
00:57a four-time WWE champion, three-time universal champion.
01:02The Beast Incarnate is as legitimate as the day is long.
01:06And as we've seen recently, Lesnar is in a vile, vile state of mind.
01:11I would not want to do Kingston tonight.
01:14It has been a magical ride for the WWE champion.
01:19An 11-year journey, which culminated at WrestleMania,
01:24with Kofi winning his first ever WWE championship.
01:28And it has been an oppressive reign since WrestleMania.
01:32The Beast Incarnate is as legitimate as the day is long.
01:35And as we've seen recently, Lesnar is in a vile, vile state of mind.
01:40It has been an oppressive reign since WrestleMania.
01:43It was unlikely, it may have seemed unbelievable to some, but
01:47Kofi Kingston has legitimized his reign as WWE champion without a doubt.
01:53That said, we are about to find out in moments if Kofi's fairy tale comes
01:57crashing through a halt tonight, courtesy of The Conqueror.

03:23We have a new champion.
03:26Here is your winner and
03:30the new WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar.
03:37Sudden impact by The Beast.
03:40That's gotta be a record of some sort.

03:46Brock Lesnar is now a five time WWE Champion.
03:52In seconds, Brock Lesnar conquered Kofi Kingston,
03:56brought Kofi's lifelong dream, his life's work, crashing down with an F5.
04:03We are once again entering the era of The Beast.

04:19On premiere night of Friday Night SmackDown.
04:22Meanwhile, the man who Lesnar mauled Monday night.
04:28The man whose son Lesnar also mauled Monday night on Raw.
04:33Rey Mysterio.
04:36That's not.
04:39My God, it is.
04:42Brock Lesnar has seen a ghost, and that ghost's name.
04:48Is Cade Velasquez.
04:52I have never seen fear on the face of Brock Lesnar.
04:55Cade Velasquez is the man who won the UFC Heavyweight Championship from Brock Lesnar.
05:02And Velasquez is here with Rey Mysterio.
05:05And he's marching right to the ring.
05:11Lesnar can't believe it.
05:13Brock Lesnar is shocked.

05:27Here you go, Velasquez.
05:33Double leg takedown.
05:34And Velasquez down to the rights and lefts to The Beast.
05:37Lesnar just covering up.
05:39Lesnar trying to get away.
05:41Lesnar trying to retreat.
05:43When the hell was the last time you saw Brock Lesnar retreat?
05:51Show him who you are.
05:53Show him who you are.
06:04Rey Mysterio would have loved to handle the situation himself,
06:07but he obviously brought backup.
06:11Brock Lesnar is in shock.
06:13He cannot believe it.
06:21Cade Velasquez staring a hole through the WWE Champion.
06:26Uh-oh.
06:27Paul Heyman said on Raw Monday night,
06:29there's a lot of wannabe tough guys around.
06:32Well, Cade Velasquez is a true tough guy.
06:35And he's staring right at Brock Lesnar.
06:39Velasquez is a real deal approving commodity.
06:42And nobody knows that fact better than Brock Lesnar.
06:46Brock Lesnar.
07:17We're going to see this right now.
07:34I have never seen fear in the eyes of The Beast Incarnate
07:38like I have just now.
07:48This was moments ago.
07:50Cade Velasquez with a double leg takedown to Lesnar.
07:53And then the mauling began.
07:55And Brock Lesnar covering up and then retreating.
07:58Retreating from Velasquez.
08:05I can assure you Brock Lesnar was not expecting to encounter
08:09his old rival.
08:10The man who defeated him for the UFC Heavyweight Championship,
08:14Cade Velasquez in a WWE ring.
08:17But make no mistake, Velasquez has arrived.
08:21And The Beast has got to deal with it.
08:26Brock Lesnar is your new WWE Champion.
08:31But Brock Lesnar has a big, big problem.
08:36And his name is Cade Velasquez.
