00:00And here comes the Beast!
00:30A capacity crowd here tonight, late arriving on a Thursday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
00:41But for tonight and this man, Brock Lesnar, Corey, it is about dreams of sweet, sweet
00:47revenge.
00:48Brock Lesnar forced to defend his WWE Championship against the man that ripped the UFC Heavyweight
00:55title from the Beast's hands, Cain Velasquez.
00:59The setting is different.
01:01Now it's WWE.
01:02This is Lesnar's world, but the threat, no less than ever before.
01:07It was just over nine years ago, October 23, 2010, the night that Cain Velasquez beat Brock
01:14Lesnar.
01:15He bloodied Brock Lesnar.
01:16It was perhaps the worst loss of Brock Lesnar's career.
01:21Brock Lesnar was scarred not only on his cheek, but Brock Lesnar was scarred mentally from
01:26that fight that night.
01:27Is he ready tonight?
01:28Cain Velasquez has vowed to give Lesnar another scar to match the one he already gave him.
01:33Also joining us tonight, Corey, is our Arabic announce team.
01:36Give it up for our good friends Jude Aldani and Faisal Almugaisi.
01:39Riyadh has been rocking since we touched down on the airplane a few nights ago from the
02:00airport to the hotel, all in anticipation for this heavyweight clash.
02:29Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Rey Mysterio.
02:36Rey Mysterio still wears the sling after the brutal assault by Brock Lesnar about a month ago.
02:41Again, he was attacked last Friday night on SmackDown, but it wasn't just Rey, Corey.
02:45It was Rey's son, Dominik.
02:47Rey Mysterio turned to his close family friend, Cain Velasquez, to extract a measure of revenge
02:53against the beast, Brock Lesnar.
02:55Does Velasquez have the ability to catch lightning in a bottle twice?
02:59We'll find out in moments.
03:16We talked about history being made in many ways tonight.
03:19This is history lesson number one.
03:22For the first time ever, a superstar will make his WWE in-ring debut in a WWE
03:32championship match.
03:34That has never happened before.
03:36What type of pressure are the shoulders of Cain Velasquez?
03:40You know what?
03:41I think in this case, Cain Velasquez is fighting with house money right now.
03:44He's playing with house money.
03:46Cain knows he has stopped the beast before.
03:49He needs to do it again tonight.
03:51An interesting interview on TMZ with The Big Show.
03:54And Big Show corned Cain Velasquez.
03:56I have never seen the beast like Brock Lesnar on the warpath he has been on.
04:02And this is the man at Big Show who's been destroyed by Lesnar.
04:06And let's take a look, Corey, at the career accomplishments of both
04:09of these combat superstars.
04:11We always talk about Brock Lesnar being the most decorated athlete in combat sports.
04:15Cain Velasquez certainly able to give Lesnar a run for his money.
04:20Even the advantage goes to Velasquez with the two-time heavyweight
04:24champion in UFC.
04:26This is going to be a clash for the ages.
04:28No doubt about it.
04:32Lesnar certainly looks focused and stoic as always.
04:35Cain Velasquez.
04:39The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the WWE Championship!
04:48Let's introduce you to the challenger.
04:51He is a two-time UFC champion with the most knockout victories
04:59in UFC heavyweight history.
05:04Cain Velasquez!
05:11And his opponent...
05:24Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman.
05:30Tonight, the ultimate rematch in combat sports history.
05:37Introducing my client, the Mysterio Mauling Velasquez Vanquishing
05:46Cain Conquering, Reigning, Defending, Undisputed
05:53WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World
05:58Brock Lesnar!
06:03This indeed for the coveted WWE Championship.
06:07In their one meeting back in 2010, Lesnar tried to take the fight
06:11to Velasquez.
06:12He tried to take Cain off his feet, but Cain was not being able
06:16to be taken down that early, that quickly.
06:19And that was the key to victory for Cain Velasquez.
06:21Will the same happen here tonight?
06:23Cain Velasquez is going to want to keep this fight on its feet.
06:26We've seen in the past, Lesnar does not react well to being
06:29hit in the face.
06:30That's what Velasquez did the last time.
06:32He's going to look to do the same thing tonight.
06:33And we are underway for the WWE Championship.
06:36Velasquez, Lesnar, their first meeting in nearly a decade.
06:41And there's a kick right to the knee.
06:43Both of these superstars with a healthy respect for one another
06:45know how dangerous each other is.
06:47Oh, and Velasquez is a striker.
06:48He's not a submission specialist.
06:50He is a striker.
06:51And that's what you're going to see out of Cain here tonight.
06:53When it comes to amateur wrestling skills, Cain Velasquez
06:56very evenly matched with Brock Lesnar.
06:58Lesnar looking for the single leg takedown.
07:00Back to the corner here.
07:01Backs Velasquez into the corner.
07:02And just like we said earlier, Lesnar's trying to take
07:05Velasquez down.
07:06And now, keys right, a kick and a knee right to the
07:09midsection of Velasquez.
07:11This is unfamiliar territory in a WWE ring for Cain Velasquez.
07:14It's much different than fighting in a cage or an octagon.
07:18You have to give the edge to Brock Lesnar in this scenario.
07:21Lesnar trying to grab the leg of Velasquez in the corner again.
07:24Shot right to the side of the head.
07:26And now Velasquez backs Lesnar back out.
07:28We're back to the center of the ring.
07:30As we mentioned before, Cain Velasquez has the ability to
07:32turn an opponent's lights out in an instant.
07:34Most knockouts in UFC heavyweight history.
07:37That is quite an accomplishment.
07:39You saw the kick to the leg, then to the midsection.
07:41And Lesnar trying again to thwart the kicks of Velasquez.
07:44Velasquez keeping Lesnar on.
07:45He's trying to change levels here.
07:47Look at Cain left and right.
07:48And Brock Lesnar ties him up yet again.
07:50And backs him into the other corner.
07:53Lesnar had to expect this coming in.
07:55Velasquez looking to use his hands and his kicking ability.
07:57To take down the beast.
07:59To become WWE champion.
08:01And Lesnar has Velasquez tied up.
08:05Able to shift his balance and bury him in the corner.
08:08And Velasquez with a kick right to the midsection.
08:10And a kick to the head.
08:11And Lesnar's down.
08:12And there's Velasquez.
08:13Mounting Lesnar.
08:14And Velasquez with the rights and lefts.
08:16And Brock Lesnar trying to cover up.
08:18Cain looking for the finish.
08:19Trying to stop Lesnar now.
08:20And right to the knee.
08:21Lesnar with the knee.
08:22Camara lock.
08:23Lesnar went to the knee.
08:24Camara lock to Velasquez.
08:26Submission move is locked in.
08:27Will Velasquez tap out to Lesnar?
08:30And the Camara.
08:31And he does.
08:32It's over.
08:33Lesnar retains.
08:36Lesnar refusing to relinquish the Camara.
08:40Brock might break Cain's arm.
08:43Brock Lesnar with a Camara still locked in.
08:45Rey Mysterio steel chair in hand.
08:47Rey Mysterio trying somehow.
08:51Rey Mysterio's already injured.
08:52Lesnar's gonna injure Cain Velasquez.
08:54The Camara still locked in.
08:56And Mysterio with a chair to the spine.
08:59Oh my God.
09:01And that just angers Brock.
09:03No effect on Lesnar.
09:06And Lesnar slinging Mysterio out of the ring.
09:10Lesnar's spine, maybe his tailbone coming down on the apron.
09:14Remember Brock Lesnar has waited nearly 10 years for this moment.
09:18And Brock Lesnar's not gonna waste it.
09:20The Cain Conqueror.
09:22Brock Lesnar continues to rain down punishment on Velasquez.
09:26Rey Velasquez is writhing around.
09:28There's already been some severe damage done.
09:30The significant amount of time spent in the Camara lock of Brock Lesnar.
09:34Lesnar trying to exorcise the demons.
09:37The demon known as Cain Velasquez.
09:42And Brock not done yet.
09:47Message shot with an F5 to the steel chair.
09:50F5 to the steel chair.
09:55Mysterio once again.
09:57And look at Rey.
09:58Rey unloading with everything he's got.
10:00Brock Lesnar trying to cover up.
10:02Great tenacity being shown by Mysterio.
10:04To the midsection.
10:05Lesnar's in trouble.
10:06Down with a shot to the face.
10:08And out of the back of the knee.
10:09And Rey Mysterio taking the fight to Lesnar.
10:12Brock doing everything he can to protect himself from the chair shots of Mysterio.
10:15Well that was flat out passion, emotion, adrenaline by Rey Mysterio.
10:20It's a thirst for vengeance.
10:22Lesnar has made Mysterio's life hell.
10:24Has made Mysterio's son Dominic's life hell.
10:28Rey Mysterio is not going to let this pass.
10:33Brock Lesnar has retained his WWE Championship.
10:38With sweet, sweet revenge.
10:41Against Cain Velasquez.
10:43But Rey Mysterio with a semblance of his own revenge here tonight.
10:49It was a chaotic, fast-paced throwdown.
10:52But this is where the game changed.
10:53The knee right to the liver of Lesnar.
10:56The head kick takes the beast down.
10:58Velasquez looking to Mount Brock to deliver some rights and lefts.
11:02To maybe shut Lesnar down for good and become champion.
11:05But Brock would go to the knee.
11:07Cain looked to post his bodyweight on the one arm.
11:10The exposed arm locked up by Lesnar.
11:12Into Kimura.
11:13Velasquez left with no choice but to submit to the WWE Champion.
11:18Lesnar would not let go of the Kimura Lock.
11:20Rey Mysterio would force him with a steel chair to the spine.
11:24And Brock Lesnar was in beast mode.
11:27That's the understatement of the night.
11:29Lesnar just manhandling Rey Mysterio.
11:31But Rey would not stay down.
11:33Lesnar dishing out even more punishment to his vanquished challenger Velasquez.
11:38Until Rey Mysterio would once again come to the aid of his close family friend.
11:43Saving Velasquez from potential catastrophe.
11:47At the hands of the beast.
11:49And a steel chair.
11:52Rey Mysterio looking on.
11:54Trying to avenge the injuries to his son Dominik here tonight.
11:58The one thing about Brock Lesnar that was impressive, Corey.
12:00Is that he realized that Cain Velasquez has been suffering from a knee problem for some time now.
12:05And he went right after the knee when the opening presented itself.
12:08Listen, as brutal as Brock Lesnar can be.
12:10He is equally as wise.
12:12As we take another look at Rey Mysterio.
12:14Trying to exact revenge on Lesnar.
12:17With repeated shots with the steel chair.
12:20Lesnar trying his best to cover up and protect himself.
12:24But Mysterio was unleashed on the beast.
12:29Was wearing out the steel chair.
12:32On the physique of the champion.
12:35Of the champion.
12:37Lesnar wisely retreating.
12:39I have a feeling this issue is far, far from resolved.
