00:00WWE has always been my home and will always be my home.
00:08I never, ever forget where I came from.
00:20Ruthless aggression.
00:25I won't be stopped.
00:27I can't be stopped.
00:31The champ is here.
00:36Everyone in this arena, everyone watching at home, whether they like me or they don't like me,
00:41know that this is my life.
00:43This is my passion.
00:44This is all that I've got.
00:46This right here is my home.
00:57John Cena tweeted earlier today.
00:59Cap, check.
01:00Wristbands, check.
01:01Jorts, check.
01:02Time-bending shirt, check.
01:03Heart-pumping adrenaline.
01:05You can come tomorrow night.
01:07Boston.
01:08SmackDown.
01:09The greatest of all time returns.
01:11You know John Cena doesn't bother getting out of bed unless he can make a massive impact.
01:14I expect big things tomorrow night on Fox.
01:16John Cena.
01:17Friday night SmackDown on Fox tomorrow night.
01:27Burn it down!
01:31The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the Raw Tag Team Championship.
02:01Introducing first, the team of the Raw Tag Team Champions, Murphy and Seth Rollins.
02:11Earlier tonight, Byron Saxton rejoining us here at ringside had the opportunity to interview
02:16the Monday Night Messiah and Murphy.
02:18Byron, they call this a matter of destiny.
02:20A matter of destiny.
02:22Listen, I see it every single week on Monday Night Raw.
02:25I have to hear from Seth Rollins.
02:27Preaching to the entire roster.
02:28They have to follow his vision.
02:30Follow his imagination.
02:32Follow his beliefs.
02:33And unfortunately, Seth has found himself quite the list of resistance.
02:36Yeah, but fortunately for all of us, Byron, whether you choose to accept it or not, the
02:42Monday Night Messiah, Seth Rollins, and Murphy are your reigning Raw Tag Team Champions.
02:48That sounds pretty effective to me.
02:50And how about this sermon from the Monday Night Messiah where he talks about the power
02:54How about this sermon from the Monday Night Messiah where he talks about seeking out the
02:57weak, rehabilitating the flawed, eradicating the non-compliant, calling it phase two of
03:03the movement.
03:04It's all a bunch of juju.
03:05It's all see-through.
03:07Seth Rollins wants power and control.
03:11You call it see-through.
03:12I call it seeing the light, Byron Saxton.
03:14How can you not be captivated by the charisma of Seth Rollins?
03:18How inspiring is it to see how Murphy's life and career have completely turned around since
03:23aligning with Rollins?
03:24That is one thing I'll agree with you on, Corey.
03:40And their opponents, at a combined weight of 492 pounds, Montez Ford and Angelo Jockeys,
03:47The Street Profits!
03:51Seth Rollins says he cannot conceive of a scenario where The Street Profits will walk
03:56out of Super Showdown tonight with the tag team titles, but Byron, I don't agree with
04:00that point.
04:01The Street Profits are one of the most talented tag teams in all of WWE, and my question is,
04:07what happens to the message of Seth Rollins if Rollins and Murphy lose those tag team
04:13titles here tonight?
04:14You could spend all of eternity asking what if, Byron.
04:17The fact of the matter is, The Street Profits would be terrible representatives of Monday
04:21Night Raw as tag team champions, as Rollins so wisely stated.
04:25Not because of their athletic ability or their skill set in the ring, but because of their
04:30moral compasses.
04:31Their moral compasses, i.e. they don't want to follow the track of Seth Rollins.
04:35What was it that Ford and Jockeys called Rollins and Murphy, the Monday Night Pariah and Murph
04:42the Smurf?
04:43I really like that name, actually.
04:45Murph the Smurf!
04:46Byron, again, you fancy yourself a journalist.
04:48What do you think is in the cup that Montez Ford has?
04:51I think, well, there's probably some B12, a little bit of caffeine, and his own proprietary
04:56blend.
04:57Wow.
04:58This one I think you couldn't get any nerdier.
05:00What?
05:01I do my research.
05:02The Street Profits say they want the smoke, and what an opportunity here tonight to win
05:06the Raw tag team titles.
05:11What an opportunity for Rollins and Murphy to course correct the moral compasses of Ford
05:17and Jockeys.
05:18Would you stop speaking that nonsense, Corey?
05:20What makes it nonsense, Byron?
05:22Because you don't believe in it?
05:24Does that make it factually inaccurate?
05:26Because one man has deemed himself responsible for dictating what an entire roster does?
05:31That's called great leadership, Byron.
05:34You're all losing your mind.
05:36Look at history.
05:37Think of any of the great leaders.
05:39They all have to captivate.
05:41They all have the charisma to lead.
05:43That is exactly what Seth Rollins possesses in spades.
05:46Any of a term to what Rollins, Murphy, and the AOP are doing on Monday Night Raw is terrorizing
05:52it.
05:53The likes of Kevin Owens and the Street Profits have stood up to them.
05:57Listen, if you want to make an omelet, you've got to break some eggs, okay?
06:01Change is not easy.
06:03When asked why they helped KO out the Street Profits said because he did the same for us.
06:08So it's Dawkins that'll start things off against Murphy here tonight for the Raw Tag Team titles.
06:14And Murphy...
06:15Oh!
06:16And a spear by Dawkins!
06:17Dawkins wasting no time all over Murphy.
06:20And now mounting Murphy with the right hands.
06:22And the Street Profits say we're not going to play your mind games.
06:25We're not going to stand for it.
06:26We're going to take you out tonight.
06:28This just speaks to how important it is for the Street Profits.
06:30Tag made.
06:31Here comes Ford.
06:32How important it is...
06:33What a dropkick!
06:34...to shift this power struggle on Raw to win these Raw Tag Team titles.
06:37And Dawkins turns his attention out of Seth Rollins.
06:40And the Street Profits off to a roaring start here tonight at Super Showdown.
06:46Very impressive out of the gate, I will admit that.
06:49Montez dropkick, a thing of beauty.
06:52How impressive were Ford and Dawkins, Byron, this past Monday night on Raw in their matches against Murphy and Rollins.
06:58Listen, it shows you Ford and Dawkins understand the value of this moment.
07:01That you have to show out and show up.
07:03That's exactly what they're doing.
07:04Just could you remind me, Byron...
07:05Oh!
07:06What were the outcomes of those matches?
07:08Well, here's the cover now by Ford and a kickout.
07:12Listen, we've seen time and time again...
07:14Dawkins did beat Murphy via disqualification.
07:17Via disqualification, a technicality.
07:19As we take another look at this, I'll watch this all day.
07:21Montez Ford dropkick, absolutely breathtaking.
07:25Big right hand.
07:26And tremendous athleticism by Ford and Rollins.
07:29Rollins into a kick and you can hear that here at ringside.
07:32But Murphy takes advantage of the distraction.
07:35Driving Ford right into the Arabic announce table.
07:40That initial shot to Rollins...
07:42Listen!
07:43Nasty collision.
07:44Right foot of Montez Ford landed just under the chin of Seth Rollins.
07:49Now Rollins dumping Ford on the apron and Seth Rollins, the Monday night messiah, will take over.
07:56Gonna mount Ford and deliver the right hands.
07:58The former two-time WWE champion Seth Rollins.
08:03Money in the Bank winner, Royal Rumble winner.
08:05And now in his sixth reign as a Raw Tag Team Champion, which is history.
08:11Rollins now in complete control, just wearing down Montez Ford and Byron.
08:16You have to admit, this is what the Street Profits wanted to avoid.
08:19Letting Rollins and Murphy cut the ring in half.
08:22Murphy and...
08:24Ford and Dawkins, rather, came out of the gate very strong.
08:28Very quick up-tempo pays off.
08:30This is exactly where Rollins and Murphy want this match.
08:34Spine-shaking kicks by Rollins and Murphy.
08:39Montez Ford in a great deal of jeopardy.
08:42Not too deep into this matchup.
08:44Could be a short night for the Street Profits.
08:46Street Profits have been a tag team much longer than Rollins and Murphy.
08:50So perhaps they would have that in their favor the longer this match goes.
08:54You could say that, or you could look on the other side of the coin.
08:57Whereas you have Murphy, who is devoted to Seth Rollins and what Rollins decides to do.
09:03Sometimes that makes for just as an effective tag team.
09:06You've got one clear leader and a follower.
09:08You're right, Corey.
09:09And Murphy, there's no doubt how he feels about Seth Rollins.
09:13Rollins has turned this young man's career around.
09:15There's no doubt about that.
09:16Ford trying to make a tag to Dawkins in the corner.
09:19Fingertips away.
09:21Murphy rolls through.
09:22Oh, the double knees.
09:23The Meteora catches him.
09:25Cover now.
09:26Hook of the leg on Ford.
09:27Kick out at two.
09:29But Seth Rollins has done so much for Murphy beyond his career in WWE.
09:34Seth Rollins has positively affected Murphy's life.
09:37I spoke to Murphy earlier today.
09:39He was grinning from ear to ear.
09:41He was excited about the competition tonight.
09:43Excited about the message that he and Rollins are spreading.
09:46Well, Corey, one word I think, sorry to interrupt, Byron, is confidence.
09:49Murphy is very confident now.
09:51More confident than he's ever been in his career.
09:53Listen, I agree with you guys.
09:55Murphy's career, his life has changed being associated with Seth Rollins.
09:59The issue is not everybody wants to be a Murphy.
10:02Not everybody wants to sell their soul to Seth Rollins.
10:05Some people are okay with being average and not winning at life.
10:10Rollins with Ford back to the ring.
10:12How does that feel?
10:13Tell me how that feels, Corey.
10:15What's that, to be average and not win at life?
10:17I wouldn't know.
10:18A blind follower of the Monday Night Messiah.
10:21And Rollins continues.
10:23Look at him rub the forearm right across the face of Montez Ford,
10:27continuing to punish Ford.
10:32Aggressive style, Seth Rollins,
10:34one of the tag team champions from Monday Night Raw.
10:39Dawkins trying to make his partner on to do something here
10:44to better his situation.
10:49Ford thinks Ford needs to figure something out quick.
10:53You don't get too many opportunities to capitalize
10:55when you're in there with Rollins.
10:57Ford sent outside the ring, into the barricade,
11:01and look at Rollins with the official,
11:03and it allows Murphy to attack,
11:05but Ford sends Murphy into the barricade.
11:08Ford giving himself a chance.
11:09Remember, we've already seen one tag team title change here tonight.
11:12We could be on the verge of seeing another.
11:14Miz and Morrison knocking off the New Day earlier on
11:17for the SmackDown tag team titles.
11:20Dawkins trying to rally Montez Ford.
11:23Ford's got a clear lane right now.
11:25He's just got to somehow get to Dawkins.
11:29Dawkins is chomping at the bit to join this fight.
11:32Oh, and Murphy from behind, dragging Dawkins off the apron.
11:37Dawkins never saw it coming.
11:39Great move by Murphy,
11:40and it allows Rollins to go back on the attack
11:42on a very injured Montez Ford.
11:45Oh, and the Falcon Arrow by Rollins.
11:47Here's the cover now.
11:48Foot to the leg.
11:49Is it enough?
11:50And a kick out by Ford at two.
11:52Somehow Montez Ford is staying in this matchup.
11:55It's a testament to the will of Montez Ford.
11:58Very, very tough competitor, tough individual,
12:00but Montez might just be prolonging his own suffering.
12:05Buckle bomb and a kick by Murphy.
12:08Double impact.
12:09Cover to retain the tag team titles.
12:11Hooks the leg.
12:12Dawkins breaks up the three count.
12:17Yeah, the opportunity is for the taking
12:19for the Street Profits,
12:20but listen, I'll give the opposer credit here.
12:22I mean, this isn't just any old tag team
12:24in Murphy and Seth Rollins.
12:26You've got a four-time world champion
12:28in Seth Rollins on this team,
12:30and it makes it an extremely uphill battle
12:32for the Street Profits to overcome.
12:34Ford lands on his feet.
12:36Oh, tag.
12:37Here's Angelo Dawkins.
12:39I sure hope I'm wrong.
12:41Here comes Dawkins.
12:43Dawkins looking to...
12:44Oh, and there's a drop kick for the big man.
12:46And another one to Rollins.
12:48Dawkins a very agile, very heavy hitter,
12:51as Murphy's finding out firsthand.
12:53And so's Rollins.
12:55And he's got three national titles
12:57in three different sports.
12:58Face first goes Rollins off the bulldog,
13:00and Dawkins is fired up.
13:04And Dawkins changed the course of history.
13:07They do it here.
13:08To win the tag team titles from Rollins and Murphy.
13:11And Rollins kicks out at two.
13:14Dawkins can't get frustrated.
13:15He's got to stay on the ball here.
13:17Stay on Seth Rollins.
13:21Tag is made.
13:23Montez looking like he's recovered somewhat.
13:26Still far from 100%.
13:28Double team by the Street Profits.
13:30Ford catches Rollins in the corner.
13:33Oh, nice.
13:34Oh, my God. Face first goes Rollins.
13:36Hook of the leg here, and it's Murphy
13:38that's got to break things up.
13:39Murphy might have just saved the raw tag team titles,
13:42at least temporarily.
13:44Dawkins is spilling to the floor.
13:50Ford again.
13:52Did you hear that kick right to the back of the neck?
13:54Crazy athleticism.
13:56Rolling up Montez Ford.
13:58Shoulders are down here.
13:59Kick out at two.
14:02Ford ducks underneath.
14:03Went for the neck break.
14:04It's a gurry.
14:05Rollins is down.
14:07And Montez Ford may have set Rollins
14:09exactly where he wants him.
14:11We better hurry up.
14:12Don't waste any time.
14:14Heading up to the top rope.
14:15Montez Ford.
14:18Ford to secure the tag team titles.
14:20With a splash.
14:21Connecting to Rollins
14:22to win the raw tag team championship.
14:25And Murphy
14:26saving the matchup.
14:29Once again, Murphy at the right place
14:31at the right time.
14:33Murphy is proven week after week.
14:35He is a loyal athlete.
14:36Oh my God.
14:37Oh my gosh.
14:39Dawkins just blasting and lifting Murphy
14:41up over the announce table.
14:43I think Murphy's done for the evening.
14:46And now Rollins in deep trouble.
14:47The street profits.
14:50Oh no.
14:51Rollins is all alone.
14:54Golden opportunity for the street profits.
14:56But Rollins back to his feet.
14:58Ford has to roll through.
15:00And Rollins
15:01kicked right to the midsection.
15:03Look at this.
15:04Outmanned.
15:05Outnumbered.
15:06This is why Rollins is so inspirational.
15:08The fighting heart
15:10on Seth Rollins
15:11is second to none.
15:12Tag.
15:13Murphy's...
15:14I thought Murphy was out.
15:15Somehow Murphy's back into this matchup.
15:19Montez Ford gonna launch himself
15:21off the top rope.
15:23Ford got caught.
15:24Ford got caught.
15:25Whoa, whoa, whoa.
15:27Rollins and Murphy
15:28looking for a double pedigree.
15:30And a double DDT
15:31by the profits.
15:32Change of plans.
15:34The street profits spoiled
15:35a true memorable moment
15:36here in WWE.
15:39I think they're about to make
15:40their own memorable moment.
15:45Montez got that look in his eye.
15:47Looking for takeoff.
15:48Ford's gonna fly.
15:49Caught.
15:52Oh yes.
15:53Right into the barricade.
15:55Beautiful.
15:58Montez went high risk
15:59and it did not pay off.
16:01Great teamwork
16:02by Rollins and Murphy.
16:03Watch Dawkins.
16:04Dawkins right off the apron
16:05just falling
16:07on top of Murphy and Rollins.
16:10Same flight trajectory as a sofa.
16:12But it was effective nonetheless.
16:15Do what you gotta do.
16:16And planting Rollins
16:17face first outside the ring.
16:18Remember,
16:19the profits can only win the titles
16:20via pinfall or submission.
16:23That's why Dawkins wisely
16:24getting Murphy back in the ring.
16:27Rollins not allowing
16:28Dawkins to get back in
16:29on an injured Murphy.
16:31And off the distraction,
16:32Murphy.
16:34Pump knee hit the mark
16:35right on Dawkins chin.
16:39And now Rollins
16:40up on the apron.
16:41Look out, look out, look out.
16:42A stomp to Dawkins
16:43off the apron.
16:45Oh, what beautiful deja vu.
16:47Murphy's gonna benefit
16:49to retain the tag team gold.
16:52Here are your winners
16:53and still the RAW Tag Team Champions.
16:58Murphy and Seth Rollins.
17:03How many times have we seen this?
17:05What, Seth Rollins and Murphy
17:06overcoming adversity,
17:08battling against all odds
17:11to retain what is rightfully theirs?
17:14No, Seth Rollins taking advantage
17:16of a distracted Murphy.
17:17to secure a victory for his team.
17:19We've seen it week after week,
17:20and we saw it again here tonight.
17:25Let's take a look
17:26at some of the highlights
17:27of this one.
17:28The height achieved
17:29by Montez Ford
17:30is straight up freaky.
17:33Landing the frog splash
17:35perfectly on Seth Rollins,
17:37but Murphy comes to the aid
17:40of the Monday Night Messiah.
17:42This was a big moment
17:43for Seth Rollins.
17:44Coming to the aid
17:45of the Monday Night Messiah.
17:47This was awesome.
17:49Credit Ford for taking
17:50the ultimate risk,
17:51but this risk did not pay off.
17:55And in the closing moments,
17:56the official would be tied up
17:58with Murphy opening the door
17:59for the stomp from Rollins,
18:03the same way that Rollins
18:04and Murphy captured the tag titles
18:06in the first place.
18:10Prime real estate
18:11for Rollins to strike.
18:12I'm so proud of you.
18:14Great effort by
18:15the Street Profits tonight,
18:16but Murphy and Rollins
18:18retain the Raw Tag Team titles.

25:00You tell them all.
25:01You tell them all.
25:02The rest of the WWE knows how to participate in this whole thing.
25:03So the official made an excellent call.
25:04Yeah, we're going to have a one-on-one matchup
25:05now.
25:06Dolph Ziggler and Mansoor here in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
25:10Mansoor talked about this incredible journey.
25:14The dream come true to become a WWE superstar.
25:20And he says, nights like tonight, I need to prove that I belong in wwe.
25:23I completely agree.
25:24I don't think anybody's saying that Mansoor doesn't belong beyond Dolph Ziggler, but to
25:29Byron's point about the pressure, the pressure Mansoor feels will either make him crumble
25:34or make him a diamond.
25:36Tonight we'll find out.
25:37Well, Dolph Ziggler better move there, get right to the midsection and into the headlock
25:41as he looks to wear Mansoor down.
25:44Man, Mansoor is honest.
25:46The more I compete, the more footage there is for my opponents to study, the more they
25:51can learn about my strengths and my weaknesses, so I have to continue getting better.
25:56Shoulder tackle by the two-time world champion, Dolph Ziggler.
26:00Think about what this man's accomplished in his career.
26:08Power and elbow tie up again with Ziggler and Mansoor.
26:20Ziggler a money-in-the-bank ladder match winner, six-time intercontinental champions, won the
26:47United States title, the tag team title, world champion as I mentioned.
26:53Ziggler with a shoulder tackle of his own at impact there.
26:59Mansoor showing no intimidation from Dolph Ziggler.
27:03They're looking to feed out the hometown crowd here in Riyadh.
27:09Not to get overconfident, not be overzealous, because a veteran like Ziggler can turn the
27:13lights out with one mistake.
27:15Oh, nice standing moonsault by Mansoor.
27:21Cover now on Ziggler, kick out at two and a half by Dolph.
27:25Ziggler was making the mistake of underestimating Mansoor.
27:29Oh, and Ziggler with an elbow just barely caught Mansoor, and a drop kick by Dolph.
27:37Cover by Ziggler, hook of the leg now and a kick out at two.
27:43Look at this standing moonsault from Mansoor, right on target.
27:47Driving all of the wind out of Dolph Ziggler.
27:51But not enough to keep the show off down for three.
27:55Mansoor now has earned a little bit of Dolph's respect.
27:59Absolutely not.
28:01If anything, Mansoor has drawn the ire of Dolph Ziggler.
28:05Dolph feels disrespected.
28:07He's going to take that out on Mansoor.
28:09Yeah, just punishing Mansoor here.
28:13Snap there by Dolph.
28:15And delivers the elbow right to the chest.
28:19Cover by Ziggler.
28:21Mansoor kicks out at two.
28:23Dolph's overconfidence there might have cost him a victory.
28:27Look at this rear chin lock applied with the body scissors from Dolph Ziggler.
28:31Dolph, of course, with a tremendous amateur background.
28:35One of the great college wrestlers at Kent State University.
28:39Dolph just wearing down Mansoor.
28:43Exerting minimal effort on his own behalf.
28:47Smart strategy. Dolph fully prepared any given night
28:51to be dragged into the deep waters, which is cardiovascular conditioning
28:55at tip-top levels.
28:59As long as this match goes, you do have to place the advantage
29:03on the side of Dolph Ziggler.
29:07Think about what Ziggler's been through on SmackDown the past number of months.
29:11The battles with Roman Reigns and The Usos.
29:15Battle hardened to Ziggler.
29:19And again.
29:23Where are you going?
29:28Trash talking and having his way with him.
29:32One, two, three.
29:36Ask him. Ask him where he's going.
29:40Nowhere.
29:44Ask him.
29:48No.
29:52Ziggler putting a great deal
29:56of pressure on the left shoulder of Mansoor.
30:00Trying to break this hold, make it back to his feet,
30:04which he's done.
30:08Breaks the hold.
30:12Mansoor battling back, but Ziggler right back to the knee.
30:16Now a neckbreaker by Dolph.
30:20This has been a clinic so far by Dolph Ziggler.
30:24Another arrogant cover by Ziggler.
30:28Mansoor's a great athlete.
30:32But Dolph Ziggler's thinking two moves ahead of where Mansoor is at any given time.
30:36Dolph's truly a master.
30:40There isn't really a situation he hasn't been in in this game.
30:44Face first goes Mansoor.
30:48This one could be over. Ziggler into the cover.
30:52Make it a kick out.
31:00Mansoor favoring the left shoulder.
31:04Spent a significant amount of time in the submission applied by Dolph Ziggler.
31:08I wonder if Mansoor's arsenal is deep enough
31:12to compensate for the lack of use of his left arm.
31:16Is this what you expected out of this match tonight?
31:20Oh, and an elbow caught Dolph.
31:24Mansoor with a kick.
31:28Mansoor credit for hanging around.
31:32Mansoor launched over onto the apron.
31:36Kick caught Dolph.
31:40Could be rally time.
31:44Mansoor is fired up here.
31:48That was pretty impressive.
31:52Very unique offense from Mansoor.
31:56Very effective, but now is not the time to gloat.
32:00Dolph Ziggler planted.
32:04Shoulders down. Almost had him.
32:08You can feel the momentum shift.
32:12Mansoor shifting his weight in midair.
32:16He might be able to pick up a pinfall.
32:20The wheels are turning for Mansoor.
32:24Was that Mansoor's one opportunity to put Dolph Ziggler away?
32:28Or does he have more left in the tank?
32:32Ziggler back to his feet.
32:36Dolph Ziggler again.
32:40Mansoor from behind.
32:45Cover by Ziggler.
32:49Mansoor kicks out of the zigzag.
32:53Barely popping up the left shoulder did Mansoor.
32:57Dolph cannot believe it. Neither can I.
33:01Things just got very real for Dolph Ziggler.
33:05It just occurred to Dolph that maybe he did overlook Mansoor.
33:09Look at this one more time.
33:13Dolph got every bit of it. Zigzag flattened Mansoor.
33:17Dolph is going to tune up the band looking for a little sweet chin music.
33:21Could be super kick time for Mansoor.
33:25Ziggler misses wildly.
33:29Mansoor looking to take advantage. Can he do it here?
33:33Great counter. Lands back on his feet.
33:37Ziggler's got him. Shoulders down again. I thought he had him.
33:41Dolph nobody home.
33:45Mansoor now.
33:49Face first goes Dolph.
33:53That was an inverted sliced bread into a DDT.
33:57Dolph is stunned. Dolph is in trouble. Can Mansoor capitalize?
34:01Mansoor just realizing the opportunity that lies before him.
34:05He's got to act now.
34:09Is he taking too much time here as he tries to drag himself up to the top rope?
34:15Ziggler's halfway across the ring.
34:19The knees caught Ziggler in the ribs. Here's the cover.
34:23Mansoor did it. He did it. He knocked off Ziggler.
34:27Here's your winner, Mansoor.
34:31He did it again in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
34:35Tonight, Mansoor has knocked off Dolph Ziggler.
34:39Once again, Mansoor pulls off
34:43the miracle win.
34:51Let's take another look at this. This was, I think, the first time I've ever seen
34:55this maneuver, running up the ropes into a DDT that spiked
34:59Dolph Ziggler. And Mansoor, I think
35:03this might have been a worst possible scenario. Watch Mansoor's knees.
35:07Boom! Right into the abdomen of Dolph Ziggler.
35:11Dolph's going to be lucky if he doesn't have a cracked rib or two. Either way, hard-fought win
35:15for Mansoor.
35:27Mansoor, congratulations on a heroic victory
35:31in your hometown.
35:53Riyadh!
36:09Your voices carried me tonight.
36:13When I had nothing left, you picked me up
36:17and you gave me hope.
36:21When I stepped into this ring last year,
36:25you showed me that Saudi Arabia was ready
36:29for its first WWE superstar.
36:37And tonight, we showed
36:41WWE we are here to stay.
36:55Riyadh!
36:59Riyadh!
37:03Riyadh!
37:07Riyadh!
37:11Riyadh!
37:15And again, congratulations for Mansoor, victorious
37:19tonight over Dolph Ziggler in his hometown of Riyadh.
37:23It's got to be one of the greatest feelings in the world for that young man, Mansoor.
37:27Not only to defeat Dolph Ziggler,
37:31but to do it in his hometown.
37:35Undefeated in his home country of Saudi Arabia.
37:39We take another look. The thrill of victory
37:43for Mansoor.
37:47I'm excited to find out when we're going to see Mansoor compete in the United States
37:51and beyond around the world. He's had some luck in his home nation of Saudi Arabia.
37:55Let's see what Mansoor's truly made of.
37:59Great start to the career for Mansoor.
38:21Who among you has that one single ingredient?
38:25Losing The Rock, losing Stone Cold Steve Austin was a major hit.
38:29The ratings are going to go down. Who's going to separate themselves from the pack?
38:33Who has enough ruthless
38:37aggression? Today marks the beginning of a new era.
38:41We pushed the hell out of each other. It was crazy.
38:45If you have it in you, reach up and damn it, take it.
38:49Ruthless aggression.
39:01We are wrapping up Riyadh season on Riyadh Boulevard.
39:05That is the musical fountain here as we celebrate Riyadh season.
39:09It is a 3D design that merges the movement of water, fire, and smoke
39:13with music here tonight.
39:17We are here at Super Showdown, but a week from Sunday.
39:21Live from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Streaming on the WWE Network.
39:25It is Elimination Chamber. And Byron, over on Monday Night Raw,
39:29you got something brewing in the Elimination Chamber match with the women.
39:33I tell you what, one of the most threatening structures in all of WWE.
39:37These six women will have the opportunity. Whoever walks out of the Elimination Chamber,
39:41the winner, will go on to WrestleMania to challenge
39:45Shane and Becky Lynch for the Raw Women's Championship.
39:49If you've been watching Raw, you know who Becky Lynch is hoping for.
39:53She wants Shayna Baszler at WrestleMania.
39:57That's nothing short of insanity. Why on earth would you want to pick a fight with the Queen of Spades?
40:01Here at WWE Super Showdown, it is time for our WWE Championship match.
40:05He is the beast, Brock Lesnar.
40:09He takes on the underdog, Ricochet,
40:13for the WWE Championship on the line. Ricochet believes this could be his night.
40:17The culmination of a true underdog story.
40:25You know what? Why not me?
40:33Why can't I defeat Brock Lesnar at Super Showdown and become the new
40:37WWE Champion?
40:41I know what I'm up against.
40:53I know the sheer destruction and chaos
40:57that Brock has caused for the past two decades.
41:01Hell, I've even felt the wrath of the beast myself.
41:05Brock Lesnar at five!
41:09The WWE Champion stands defiant in the face of his
41:13Super Showdown opponent.
41:17And yeah, I know what everyone is saying about my chances of winning.
41:29But I've been underestimated for my entire life.
41:33Told I was too small. But I wasn't.
41:37Told that I would never make it to the WWE.
41:41But I did.
41:45Told I would never become champion.
41:49But what happened?
41:53Do you really believe that there is anyone worthy of stepping in the ring with Brock Lesnar?
41:57Name one!
42:01The one and only...
42:05Hungry Champion Lunchmeat!
42:09Then the beast is going to have to work harder than ever
42:13to catch this prey.
42:17Exhilarating! Exciting! Innovative!
42:21There is nothing Ricochet cannot do!
42:25No!
42:35I'm way more than just
42:39Lesnar's next challenger.
42:43Oh and Ricochet with payback to Lesnar!
42:47Lesnar eliminated!
42:51This is my one chance.
42:55My one shot to make history.
42:59To become WWE Champion.
43:03WrestleMania.
43:07So I ask you one last time.
43:11Why not me?
43:19The one and only...
43:33Ricochet!
43:47Gentlemen, tonight we are about to witness
43:51a true David and Goliath story.
43:55The difference is tonight, David doesn't have a sling full of rocks.
43:59of some of the best aerial abilities on the planet Earth.
44:03And I want you guys to understand what Ricochet has accomplished to get here
44:06tonight.
44:07First, he won a triple threat match against Seth Rollins and
44:10Lashley during this opportunity.
44:12And then Byron over the past couple of weeks, he's proved he can beat Big Man.
44:16He's defeated Lashley, he's defeated Gallows.
44:19He can defeat Big Man here, but can he do it tonight against Lesnar?
44:23The biggest thing for Ricochet right now is the ability to block out the noise,
44:28block out the doubt from the WWE Universe, block out the questions from his peers.
44:33And truly buy into himself and his ability to pull off what
44:38many have universally called the impossible.
44:40Not as big a fan of Ricochet as possible, Byron.
44:46But this is as close to impossible as a task can be.
44:49You are talking about the most decorated athlete in combat sports,
44:53the reigning WWE Champion, Ricochet.
44:56They better pack a lunch.
44:58I don't disagree with you, Corey.
44:59Ricochet's gonna have to have the performance of a lifetime.
45:26The Beast Brock Lesnar won the WWE Championship on the premiere of
45:31Friday Night SmackDown on Fox by taking care of Kofi Kingston in a matter of
45:37seconds.
45:37He has had a very successful career,
45:40and he's been a very successful wrestler since the beginning of his career.
45:45He's been a very successful wrestler since the beginning of his career.
45:50He's been a very successful wrestler since the beginning of his career.
45:54In a matter of seconds, he has held the title since then.
45:58But tonight is a very important night, because the winner of this match will
46:02face Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania with a WWE title on the line.
46:06Which, I'm gonna ask you this question, Corey.
46:08Will Brock Lesnar be looking past Ricochet tonight?
46:12We've seen in the past Brock Lesnar tends to struggle stylistically
46:16with smaller opponents.
46:17We've seen it with Seth Rollins, we've seen it with AJ Styles.
46:20If, in fact, The Beast is looking past Ricochet,
46:24we might have a new champion by the end of tonight.
46:27I talked to Ricochet yesterday about this matchup,
46:31about the task to take on the WWE Champion Brock Lesnar.
46:35He simply said, I've got to use my endurance.
46:41I've got to somehow find a way to outlast The Beast Incarnate.
46:45The problem is, Byron, Brock Lesnar can go the distance.
46:49We've seen, for an athlete of his size,
46:52Brock Lesnar has incredible cardiovascular conditioning.
46:55Brock can fight all night if need be.
46:57I think Ricochet needs to look for a quick victory.
47:01Try to score a surprise pin, because he's not gonna hang too long.
47:04The following contest scheduled for
47:10one fall is for the WWE Championship.
47:15Introducing the challenger, weighing in at 297 pounds,
47:21Ricochet!
47:25Ricochet doesn't seem too confident tonight.
47:27And his opponent, accompanied...
47:38Ladies and gentlemen,
47:41my name is Paul Hager.
47:46The winner of this match goes on to main event
47:52for the WWE title against Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania.
48:03Therefore, the winner, and this is not a prediction,
48:07this is a spoiler,
48:10is your, your, your,
48:15reigning, defending, undisputed,
48:19WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World,
48:25Brock Lesnar!
48:31Lesnar staring daggers through his challenger,
48:34no fear in the eyes of The Beast Incarnate.
48:39Brock has won eight world titles, five-time WWE Champion,
48:42three-time Universal Champion,
48:46Money in the Bank winner, Royal Rumble winner,
48:47Ricochet tried to come out of the box quickly,
48:50went for a dropkick, and was swatted away by The Beast.
48:54Can't forget Brock's accomplishments in UFC,
48:56two-time UFC Heavyweight Champion,
48:59Brock Lesnar slamming Ricochet to the mat.
49:02Ricochet, and there's the first German suplex to the mat.
49:05Welcome to Suplex City.
49:09Brock is all business tonight.
49:11Ricochet tried to catch Brock Lesnar off guard,
49:15and that plan immediately backfired.
49:17Another suplex by The Beast Brock Lesnar.
49:21This is how the match started, went for the dropkick,
49:23and Lesnar just swatted Ricochet out of the air.
49:27Completely stopped the momentum Ricochet was looking to build,
49:31and this one might be as good as over already here for Ricochet.
49:36The Beast just stalking Ricochet,
49:39and for the third time,
49:41a German suplex delivered in this match.
49:44On the option two for Ricochet, how much pain,
49:47how much punishment can you withstand from Brock Lesnar?
49:51Ricochet called this the biggest match of his career.
49:53He said, Brock better take me seriously.
49:55Well, obviously, Brock is.
50:00Think about this, if Brock Lesnar is victorious here tonight,
50:02he's not going to be able to manhandle Ricochet.
50:05Oh, look at this.
50:06Bite your tongue.
50:07F5!
50:09I meant to say he's not going to be able to manhandle Drew McIntyre, but...
50:12Cover by Lesnar, hooks both legs, and just like that,
50:17Lesnar, much like in the Rumble, dominant tonight.
50:20And your winner, and still the WWE Champion,
50:25Brock Lesnar!
50:28And make no mistake about it, guys,
50:30that was a direct statement sent to McIntyre.
50:34Brock Lesnar dismantling Ricochet here tonight.
50:38It'll be Lesnar-McIntyre for the WWE title at WrestleMania.
50:44Ricochet did his best to be a bump in the road
50:48for the main event of WrestleMania.
50:51And it is now full speed ahead, Lesnar versus McIntyre.
50:57And again, Corey, what a way to start the match for Brock.
51:00Ricochet wanted to come out of the gate fast,
51:02trying to catch the Beast off guard, but Lesnar, just too dominant.
51:07Brutalizing the challenger.
51:10In short order, Ricochet took a short trip to Suplex City.
51:16Now, Ricochet had all the confidence in the world coming in,
51:19but this was reality, a harsh reality.
51:23And it only takes one F5.
51:26Boom!
51:29Crushing impact to the challenger.
51:37Brock Lesnar loves what he did tonight to Ricochet.
51:42Brock Lesnar is on a collision course with Drew McIntyre in Tampa, Florida.
51:48Two super heavyweights collide at WrestleMania.
