03:44Happy New Year, everyone, and welcome to the first WWE Premium Live Event of 2022!
03:51You're looking live at the sold-out State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
03:5413,657 WWE fans are here tonight for WWE Day One.
04:04Hello again, everybody at ringside.
04:05Michael Cole, Pat McAfee from Friday Night SmackDown on Fox.
04:08But we start tonight with breaking news.
04:10At 6 o'clock Eastern, the WWE put out a press release saying that Brock Lesnar
04:15will now compete for the WWE Championship, which is represented on Monday Night Raw
04:20in a fatal five-way match here tonight.
04:23That is because of a tweet set before that by Universal Champion
04:27Roman Reigns from Friday Night SmackDown.
04:29Roman saying that he has tested positive for COVID-19
04:32and because of the protocols surrounding that disease,
04:35not able to compete and defend his title here tonight.
04:38This son of a bitch COVID has gotten in the way of all of our lives,
04:42but we will continue to do what the rest of the world has done in that move on.
04:47He's in peace to Roman Reigns,
04:49but Brock Lesnar is still hungry for a championship.
04:54And Brock Lesnar is now a part of the fatal five-way.
04:58Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley,
05:01the Champion Big E and the Beast Brock Lesnar compete here live tonight.
05:10I can't wait.
05:17This is how you start day one.
05:32The first premium live event of 2022.
05:37You bring out the bloodline, the cousins of the Joe, the Usos,
05:43the SmackDown Tag Team Champion.
05:48And the renewal of one of the great tag team rivalries of the past decade
05:53here in WWE, the Usos and the New Day.
06:04As the Usos prepare to defend their tag team titles here at WWE Day One.
06:09Want to take you back to two months ago on Friday Night SmackDown.
06:13The Usos would refuse to bend the knee to King Woods when Roman Reigns would get
06:18involved, a Superman punch,
06:19and then a three on one assault of the hand of the King Kofi Kingston.
06:24And then Pat, this would happen.
06:26Spraining the MCL in the knee of Kofi Kingston and costing Kingston a
06:31number of weeks of his career.
06:33When King Woods in the hand of the King Kofi came to SmackDown,
06:38the bloodline felt disrespected.
06:41There's only one royal family of SmackDown and you're looking at them right
06:45there. A rivalry renewed in beautiful fashion.
06:50King Woods, winner of the King of the Ring Tournament and his hand to the King,
07:13the former WWE Champion, Kofi Kingston.
07:16They are known as the New Day.
07:20In a new year, in a new time,
07:25in the new day,
07:28have been nothing short of spectacular since they debuted back on SmackDown.
07:35King Woods and Kofi,
07:37other than running into the buzzsaw that is the bloodline,
07:42have found a brand new energy, a royal energy.
07:47I want to take you back to a few weeks ago on SmackDown, Pat,
07:50because this is why the New Day may have the momentum coming into this matchup
07:53here tonight.
07:53It was New Day versus The Usos and a championship contenders matchup and The Usos
07:58were rolling. And I want you to watch closely. A tag was made there,
08:02but the official did not see the tag and he would not allow Jey Uso to get into
08:06the matchup. So King Woods and Kofi Kingston would take advantage.
08:12The ref said, I didn't see it. I made a mistake. I'm a classic ref.
08:16I'm a stooge. And then the hand of the King.
08:20The future hall of famer took advantage.
08:22And that is why New Day has been so damn great.
08:26Their entire run here in WWE.
08:33Between these two teams, they've held tag team titles nearly 20 times.
08:43The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the SmackDown
08:49Tag Team Championship.
08:56Introducing the challengers, the New Days, the hand of the King,
09:00Sir Kofi Kingston and King Woods.
09:10And their opponents,
09:11they are the SmackDown Tag Team Champions,
09:16Jimmy and Jey, The Usos!
09:22And it was nice of you to point out, Pat,
09:24that the official Jason Ayers was the same official that missed the tag between
09:28The Usos back a couple of weeks ago.
09:31So tonight it is for the SmackDown Tag Team titles.
09:33It is the 167th day The Usos have held the tag team gold.
09:38They're seven time tag team champions. Pat,
09:41the New Day have held tag team gold on 11 separate occasions.
09:46Two of the greatest of all time, here on day one.
09:51Atlanta seems to be a bit split because you can't help but recognize greatness.
09:56And we got all of that in the ring.
10:08Xavier Woods from here in Atlanta.
10:10I didn't know he picked it up, up, down, down and
10:14Rested his yawnies here in Atlanta.
10:16Happy to hear that this is where the King resides.
10:19Home game tonight for the New Day.
10:22And this is Jimmy Uso starting things off
10:26against King Woods.
10:30These two teams know each other so well, Pat.
10:33Inside and out. I mean, that's what I was thinking.
10:35A little bit of a feel-out process.
10:37Which strategy is either team going to go with?
10:40They know each other inside out.
10:42They've been doing battle for decades at this point.
10:44What will the Usos game plan be?
10:48And what will the New Day?
10:49Interesting question to have for you as well.
10:52Is there added pressure on the Usos tonight?
10:54In fact, their cousin, Roman Reigns,
10:56the universal champion, will not be competing.
10:58Is there added pressure on the Usos tonight to,
11:01and their shoulders down in a kick of two,
11:03to retain the tag team gold?
11:05There's pressure every night when you're the champ.
11:07The work only begins once you get to the top of the mountain.
11:10And especially when Roman is not in the building.
11:15Kofi Kingston now legal double team by the New Day.
11:19Jimmy Uso pays, kicked by Kingston.
11:22And now Xavier Woods with a senton.
11:24Splash by Kofi, cover for the championships
11:27and a kick out by the Usos.
11:29You know, the New Day said a couple of weeks ago
11:31that quote, we have a stranglehold
11:33on the tag team titles in the division
11:36for damn near a decade.
11:38It's time we gave some other teams some breathing room
11:41and let them enjoy it a bit.
11:42But tonight we'll take the titles from them again.
11:45And I think the Usos would find
11:47that incredibly disrespectful,
11:48but Kofi proves why they were champs
11:52for the better part of the last decade.
11:54So quick, so nimble.
11:56Kofi up to the top rope.
11:57So in sync with Jey Uso.
12:01And now Jimmy tries to take advantage, and does.
12:05Kofi dropped to the floor.
12:07And a boy, Jimmy with a spinning Air Force One
12:09to Kofi's face.
12:11And then Jey follows things up with a clothesline.
12:13The Usos aren't scared to get a little dirty.
12:15You wanna go down in the mud and fight, we can do it.
12:17You wanna go outside, eat a right.
12:19That is what the Usos have done.
12:21That is why they the ones.
12:22Well, the New Day as well, Pat, over the years
12:24has shown that they'll get down and dirty when need be.
12:27As you take another look at the impact from Jey Uso.
12:30I love the New Day, okay?
12:31I actually caught one of the pancakes
12:33they threw out like three years ago.
12:35I love everything they're about,
12:37but the reason why the Usos are at the top
12:38of their game right now is because they
12:41and their cousin, Roman, have another level
12:45of savage that they've kind of tapped into.
12:51Oh, and Kofi off the back suplex in trouble again.
12:55We the one, the motto of the Usos
12:58and of course the bloodline.
13:00A lot of ones to this guy here in Atlanta.
13:03Doesn't matter.
13:04Oh!
13:06Might've been talking to his cousin there,
13:08Roman, who's battling against the big homie, Omi.
13:15Cheap shot by Jimmy Uso,
13:17but again, it's what the Usos do so well.
13:21I would like to let Roman know that we do miss him,
13:24but the Usos are gonna put on for him this evening.
13:28As he beats the hell out of COVID
13:30like he beat the hell out of everybody else.
13:32And the trash talking continues for the brothers Uso.
13:37And Jay now slamming Kofi middle of the ring.
13:41This is Alabama, Georgia here.
13:44The Usos, new day.
13:47The top of the top.
13:51This right here, the pace that Jimmy and Jay have to love.
13:54Grounding Kofi, keep him away from his partner, King Woods.
13:59And backing it on up.
14:02Ass to face.
14:05In homage to the likes of Umaga
14:07and of course their father, Rikishi.
14:10He also did the Superman punch thing beforehand
14:13in homage to Roman.
14:16This bloodline is not just currently reigning
14:18over the WWE.
14:21This is the Usos, the pace, Pat.
14:23This is that methodical pace.
14:29Lana loves him.
14:30Kofi though.
14:33Jay took a little too much time.
14:34Kofi Kingston able to explode out of the corner
14:36and now looking to make a tag to his partner, King Woods.
14:40Can he get there?
14:42Right-hand man, main event Jay Uso
14:44knows that he can't toy around with Kofi like that.
14:46Made a mistake and Jimmy clears it up.
14:53Drags Kofi back into the Usos corner.
14:59You know, I've been struggling to say 2022 here
15:02because as John Madden would say,
15:042021 was just like you were counting, 2021.
15:07Now you've got to skip the 21 and it's 20, boom, 22.
15:11And it means that the Usos are going to reign dominant
15:13in another year.
15:17Tag made.
15:22Jimmy Uso, holding Kofi.
15:27Oh, kick right to the midsection.
15:29Dusting off those fresh red forces.
15:35King Woods in trouble outside the ring.
15:40This has been an absolutely dominant performance thus far
15:44for the tag team champions.
15:52Jay Uso in complete control of Kofi.
15:57Former world champion Kofi.
15:59This is the pace you expected out of the champs.
16:01Absolutely, it's what they do.
16:03They got new pants, new reindeer, new forces,
16:05but this is their style and Kofi knew that coming in.
16:09Kofi creates some space.
16:11Top rope now by Kingston, caught and planted on a spike.
16:15Wait a minute, Kofi Kingston, I believe, countered that.
16:18Yes, Michael.
16:19Into a DDT and now an opportunity
16:20to make a tag to King Woods.
16:26King Woods, get into this match.
16:30Atlanta wants to see the King.
16:32Tag to Jimmy, tag to Woods.
16:36The crowned king of WWE.
16:39Rights and kicks and Jimmy Uso with two chains on.
16:45King Woods, a big boot to the face of Jimmy.
16:47Now the, oh, on a roll by Woods.
16:50Awesome.
16:51And now Jay Uso.
16:56Caught up on the second rope.
16:59King Woods now to the back of the neck.
17:02Jimmy from behind, Woods will land on his feet.
17:06Agility.
17:09And Jimmy, the legal man, as is Woods.
17:12Side Russian Leg Sweep, Kip-Up.
17:18King Woods putting on a clinic, reeling in Jimmy.
17:26Dazed and confused.
17:28What is King Woods gonna do here?
17:30Oh, is it enough to put him away?
17:33Hook to the leg.
17:34Kick out now by Jimmy Uso at two.
17:38Fair count by the ref, who we thought could potentially
17:41not have a clue what he was doing
17:43because of previous actions.
17:44But King Woods.
17:46Closing in perhaps on another championship reign.
17:52Jimmy finding some silence.
17:54Oh, and Jay Uso knocking his brother Jimmy out of the way.
17:58And Jimmy with a right hand to King Woods
17:59and now bouncing Woods right up around Al's table.
18:02Jay Uso eating a boot for Jimmy.
18:05Yeah, to help his brother out, who's the legal man.
18:07That's why Jay Uso's the right-hand man.
18:09Main event, Jay Uso helping his brother Jimmy.
18:15And now Woods working out of that predicament.
18:18Sending Jimmy toward the corner.
18:19Jimmy catches him with an uppercut.
18:21And now Jimmy Uso up to the top rope.
18:24What's he gonna do here?
18:25Cock screw up the top rope.
18:26Cover now by Jimmy.
18:27Hook to the leg.
18:28Is it enough?
18:29And Woods kicks at two.
18:30New year, new me, says Jimmy.
18:33Off the top rope right there.
18:35Come here.
18:37Come here.
18:39Unbelievable.
18:42Tag made, Jay Uso is now legal for the tag team champions.
18:50Oh my goodness.
18:51Pop up Samoan drop.
18:53Cover by Jay for the win to retain in King Woods.
18:57Able to kick out again and perhaps some frustration
19:00beginning to show on the face of Jay Uso.
19:02In the home of the Atlanta Hawks and Trey Young,
19:05I believe that's called the alley ooze.
19:09The alley ooze.
19:12Yes, it is.
19:15Without the big ooze here tonight,
19:17the head of the table has to-
19:21WU fans trying to get the new day back into this.
19:24The new day rocks, champs.
19:31Jay loves it.
19:33Loves coming into somebody else's home town
19:36and ruining their day.
19:40Crow hopped into that.
19:43What a right.
19:44King Woods somehow still on his feet.
19:47Jay asked for that.
19:49Come on.
19:50Here we go.
19:51We got a good old classic.
19:52Let's go.
19:54Yeah.
19:54Strong fist.
19:55Oh, and King Woods buys himself some time
19:59to try to regroup here as his partner,
20:02Kofi Kingston, pulls himself up the steps
20:04and up to the ropes into the corner.
20:08Kofi gets the tag.
20:10Jay Uso all by himself in the middle of the ring.
20:13Kofi on the top rope now.
20:15What a cross body.
20:17Lateral press for the tag titles.
20:20And Jay's got to kick it too.
20:22A near fall for the new day.
20:25Instant classic to lead off 2022.
20:28And Kofi Kingston not allowing Jimmy
20:30to get involved in the matchup again.
20:34Jay misses wildly.
20:35Kofi Kingston now.
20:36Oh, just barely got, but got enough of it.
20:43Kofi fired up.
20:45Kingston calls for the boob drop.
20:56First time in a long time,
20:58the new day is in complete control.
21:08Kofi went for trouble in paradise
21:10and ran into Jay who makes a tag to Jimmy.
21:13I don't know if Jay caught it clean,
21:15but it doesn't matter.
21:17Cover by Jimmy Uso and Kofi Kingston.
21:19A catch at two.
21:26Gable Stevenson, Olympic gold medalist
21:29is sitting front row.
21:31He thought this thing was over.
21:36Uso splash.
21:39Look at the form, commitment, height.
21:42Kofi sternum meets his spine and somehow kicks out.
21:51And the sold out WWE universe
21:54at State Farm Arena in Atlanta
21:56on their feet for the SmackDown Tag Team titles.
22:01Jimmy Uso trying to back it up.
22:02Kofi Kingston lands on his feet.
22:05Oh, to the back of the knee.
22:07Oh, classic, classic bloodline.
22:11Attack the knee, they heard this earlier, the MCL.
22:15And now Jimmy Uso,
22:16targeting the injured knee of Kofi Kingston.
22:19Will Kingston tap out?
22:21Version of the half crab locked in here by Uso.
22:25I was about to say we're in Atlanta,
22:26felt like Boston for a second.
22:28Wicked awesome for the Usos.
22:30Kofi trying to make it to the rope
22:31to force some sort of break here.
22:33Kingston trying to gut his way through this and does.
22:37Five, four, three, two, one.
22:41I don't always agree with a large group
22:43of humans screaming something,
22:44especially because I live on the internet.
22:47But what these people said in State Farm Arena
22:49just moments ago is nothing short of a hundred percent
22:52accurate.
22:53This is awesome.
22:54I can't believe I get to be here to watch this.
22:58Tag.
23:01And Jey and Jimmy now.
23:05Let's do it again.
23:07Run it back.
23:08Yeah, talking about re-injuring the knee
23:10of Kofi Kingston.
23:11Is that what he's talking about?
23:12Oh, look at this.
23:13King Woods though, perhaps saving his partner.
23:16Driving Jimmy into the barricade.
23:18And out of his footsteps.
23:22Meanwhile, Kingston, roll through for the tag titles.
23:25Almost had him, kick a two.
23:29Kofi again roll up, again shoulders down
23:31and again a kick out at two, another near fall.
23:34The New Day showcasing why.
23:37SOS by Kingston, another cover.
23:40Kick out by New Day as the Usos on the ropes.
23:45The New Day just hit the Usos with like a 10 piece.
23:49Stairs.
23:52And Kofi almost ends it twice.
23:54Tag, King Woods is legal.
23:56Double team now by the New Day.
23:57Jey Uso's in trouble.
23:59King Woods is gonna go up to the top rope.
24:02New Day looking to put this one away
24:04and win their 12th Tag Team Championship.
24:07Version of a backbreaker into-
24:09Woods right to the face.
24:10Cover to win the gold.
24:12Shoots the half, hooks the leg.
24:14Usos, no, kick out at two.
24:20We were so close to having a day
24:24in which Roman gets COVID
24:27and the Bloodline loses their title.
24:32King Woods.
24:38So close.
24:47Over 13,000 here tonight sold out in Atlanta.
24:51Will the New Day win their 12th Tag Team Championship?
24:54Tag made, Kingston's legal.
24:58And Jey Uso though, Shelby King,
25:00King Woods into the corner.
25:03Tag.
25:04Jimmy Uso's legal.
25:06Super kick.
25:11Jey Uso waiting.
25:12Double kick to Kofi.
25:13Invading the New Day.
25:18Tag made to Jey now.
25:20Jimmy said, here we go.
25:22Dragging Kingston to the center of the ring.
25:26Bolt Uso's going up top.
25:31In stereo, double Uso splash.
25:36Cover by Jey.
25:37That's it.
25:38To retain.
25:39Somehow King Woods breaks things up.
25:41Where did the king come from?
25:46And the match continues.
25:50On two, says the Usos.
25:55Hit that clean.
26:00Ladies and gentlemen,
26:01this is our first premium live event of 2022.
26:05WWE day one.
26:0713,657 WWE fans on hand
26:12at State Farm Arena in Atlanta tonight.
26:15The SmackDown Tag Team title's up for grabs.
26:18The long time rivals, the Usos versus the New Day.
26:22Let's just punch each other in the face.
26:26Up over the top,
26:27up over the top rope goes Jimmy Uso.
26:29King Woods gonna launch himself out there
26:30into a kick as well.
26:33And now Jey with Kofi up on his shoulders.
26:37Tag.
26:38Jimmy's legal.
26:41Kingston runs into a big, big boot.
26:46And the Usos, 3D.
26:49That ain't a 3D.
26:50That's a 1D.
26:52One and done.
26:53That's a 1D.
26:54One and done.
27:01And still the SmackDown Tag Team champions,
27:06the Usos.
27:10Great announcement, Rome.
27:12What a match.
27:14The bloodline continues its dominance.
27:18Jimmy and Jey, the brothers Uso,
27:21retain the SmackDown Tag Team titles.
27:25I have no idea how anybody or anything
27:29is gonna follow that.
27:32That was worth the price of admission itself.
27:36And watch this, off the beginning of the ends of King Woods,
27:40the tag was made,
27:42and then we've never seen the Usos do this.
27:44A new wrinkle in the offense of the bloodline.
27:47What'd you call it?
27:48It's the 1D.
27:49A remix of the 3D.
27:51One of the most devastating finishers
27:54in tag team wrestling history.
27:56But now it's one and done.
28:00For we, for what?
28:04Shout out, the darkness.
28:13What a match to kick off WWE Day One.
28:17The Usos remain SmackDown Tag Team champions.
28:24Let's go.
28:35On WWE Universe,
28:39don't you dare be sour.
28:42The era of E is upon us.
28:46The powerhouse of positivity.
28:48That's me.
28:50You can find other people to be big and serious.
28:54But I'm trying to be something that you haven't seen before.
28:57Tonight, someone gonna get it.
29:00Who want it?
29:01Who wanna get it?
29:02Making someone smile or laugh
29:06is something that really makes me feel warm.
29:09And Big E is feeling it.
29:11Yes!
29:13Oh, Big E loves to have fun, he loves to entertain,
29:15but when he's in the ring, he is all business.
29:18I'm the most alive when I'm in a ring.
29:23I've got powerful, explosive confidence.
29:26Muscles on top of muscles.
29:28You've got to feel that.
29:37Look at the power of Big E.
29:39Feel.
29:41Up on his shoulders.
29:42Big Ending!
29:43Oh, pow!
29:46You gotta be kidding me!
29:49He has cleared the field, and he's there!
29:52Hands on the briefcase!
29:54Big E did the damn thing!
29:57That man is now Mr. Money in the Bank.
30:01It's happening!
30:03Big E is cashing in his Money in the Bank contract!
30:08Bobby Lashley suffered a knee injury,
30:10and Big E just slapped the taste out of the Almighty's mouth.
30:15Oh, we're gonna see it!
30:17Big Ending!
30:22Success is anything that you strive for.
30:25You put in a grind, and you grind more.
30:28Clap for your WWE Champion!
30:34What a year it has been since striking out on his own
30:37from the New Day.
30:38If you want it, don't wait your turn.
30:40Right now is your time.
30:43No doubt the feel-good story of 2021.
30:47Everything is earned.
30:48Never say never.
30:50Oh, I can't.
30:51I don't.
30:52I won't.
30:53I ain't.
30:54Big E reached the top of the mountain his own way.
30:57None of this is given.
30:58Everything is earned.
30:59Everything is earned.
31:29Not me.
31:30Certainly not me.
31:32Look, Kevin, I'm reminded of the mantra of Ellis Island.
31:36It was,
31:37Bring me your hungry, your tired, and your poor,
31:40but instead it's,
31:41Bring me your Bobbies, your Seths, your Kevins,
31:44and bring me your beasts!
31:46Bring me Brock Lesnar!
31:49You see, you can line every single one of them up,
31:52and I will knock every single one down!
31:55I understand that tonight is not going to be easy.
31:58Tonight, tonight, Kevin, I walk through fire.
32:01But tonight, I will also find a way to walk out of State Farm Arena steel!
32:07I said steel!
32:08You're WWE Champion!
32:17Strong words from the WWE Champion Big E ahead of his massive title defense here tonight.
32:23But before we get to that, we have a special treat.
32:26I am being joined by the world's greatest hip-hop group, Migos.
32:30Hello, gentlemen.
32:31Yes, sir!
32:34Right here.
32:35Well, today is WWE Day 1.
32:37We are in your home of Atlanta, Georgia.
32:39It is the first day of 2022.
32:41So how excited are you guys to be here with us tonight?
32:43This is a way to bring the new year in.
32:45This is a bucket list.
32:46It's big.
32:47You know, big fans, big fans.
32:48We're very excited.
32:49You know, you've been watching this since we was young.
32:50We was kids.
32:51So to be a part of this means everything.
32:53You know, we're going up.
32:54I'm just ready to hit the mat, hit the ropes, get on the turnbuckles, and have some fun.
32:59And you never know.
33:00You know what I'm saying?
33:01It might be a little surprise.
33:02You never know what you might see.
33:03You know what I'm saying?
33:04You got the game right here.
33:05So you never know.
33:06A little surprise.
33:07All right.
33:08Well, thank you guys.
33:09Have fun.
33:10And let's get back to some Day 1.
33:13And what did Migos just tease there a little bit?
33:16Anyways, we'd like to extend a special thank you to Migos for scraping an official theme
33:21song of WWE Day 1.
33:23It's from the album Culture 3, available now on Apple Music and Spotify.
33:34And from the Migos to the happy Amigos.
33:37Wow.
33:38Great work there, Cole.
33:39That's why you will be a legend forever.
33:42I didn't know how you could bring the Migos and happy folks together.
33:46You did.
33:49Seems like Atlanta feels the same way about these guys as they do.
33:52I don't know.
33:54What is he wearing?
33:59What is that?
34:02Well, I feel like we've maybe been too harsh on these two.
34:09I can't believe they still have Cairo.
34:11That's a conversation for another day.
34:13It's a big night.
34:15The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
34:18Introducing first, accompanied by Happy Corbin, weighing in at 245 pounds,
34:23Madcap Moss!
34:27I'm glad to see that Happy Corbin got the eggnog cleaned off
34:31from the Miracle on 34th Street fight.
34:34Did he?
34:35I don't know.
34:36Look at that sweatshirt.
34:38That hat.
34:40Madcap's been taking fashion tips from Happy.
34:43Woo!
34:45Happy New Year from the happiest man alive!
34:52Do you know why I'm so happy?
34:54It's because I am rich and I am good looking and, well...
35:01That really makes me stand out around here, doesn't it, Madcap?
35:05Yeah, I mean, I hear that Atlanta is the biggest city in Georgia.
35:09But it's funny, though.
35:11I didn't know they were judging that based on weight.
35:20Shot at the locals.
35:24Do you know what else makes me really happy?
35:26Today, I get to watch my good friend
35:29and the funniest man I've ever met in my entire life
35:33turn Drew McIntyre into nothing more than a little punchline.
35:37And speaking of punchlines, give me another one.
35:40Okay, okay, okay.
35:41So, in America, when you're the greatest of all time,
35:45they call you the GOAT.
35:47You know what they call a GOAT in Scotland?
35:51Drew McIntyre's prom date.
36:02After I beat Drew tonight,
36:04he's gonna fall so far off the map,
36:08he's gonna have to change his name
36:12to Who McIntyre.
36:17This is nothing bad. It's awful.
36:20This is clearly his worst night.
36:23In what earth would you want to tick off this man?
36:27A man with a sword, you always want to keep happy.
36:31And on your side.
36:32Yeah, you mean the Sword Angela
36:33that Happy and Matcap tried to steal.
36:36From A.M. Scotland, weighing in at 265 pounds,
36:41Drew McIntyre!
36:47The SmackDown Warrior,
36:50Drew McIntyre, marching to the ring.
36:56Matcap just came over to us to tell us
36:58that his jokes were funny.
37:00There's nothing funny
37:01about what Drew McIntyre wants to do.
37:03Well, you know, DraftKings is an official partner

37:28Drew McIntyre,

37:34Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
37:35With a sword, angel, and toe.
37:37But what an opportunity
37:38for Matcap tonight.
37:41This is a premium live event
37:44where Matcap,
37:45who's known as a terrible joke teller,
37:48can cement
37:50the beginning of a foundation
37:52of a legacy of a man
37:53who can get the job done.
37:55He's built,
37:57he's muscular,
37:59he's athletic,
38:01terrible joke teller,
38:03but tonight,
38:05he could become a guy
38:06who's taken a little bit more serious.
38:10If he can somehow knock off
38:12the Scottish Marine.
38:13And happy Corbin looking on at ringside.
38:16Remember, it was Corbin
38:17who volunteered Matcap Moss
38:19for this matchup.
38:21And he's been a great supporter
38:22of Matcap.
38:23He hired Matcap Moss
38:24for this match tonight.
38:26Following a little tie-up
38:27between McIntyre and Moss.
38:28Matchup underway.
38:29McIntyre now,
38:30the 6-foot-5 frame,
38:31muscling Matcap to the corner.
38:34Do your job!
38:35Get it back!
38:36Get it back!
38:37This guy,
38:38with the hat outside.
38:39What?
38:40Hey, you stink, dude!
38:42Oh, okay.
38:44Sorry about it.
38:45Happy wearing his smoky
38:47bear hat.
38:49It's a good looking hat.
38:50Oh!
38:51Matcap with a right
38:52face of McIntyre.
38:54And a side headlock
38:55as Moss looks to outpower Drew.
38:57I'm not sure if that will happen.
38:59Gotta remember,
39:00for as terrible as his jokes are,
39:01Matcap has great size.
39:03Great speed.
39:04And so does McIntyre.
39:05Talk about speed and agility.
39:07Shoulder tackle takes down Moss.
39:10I think Drew does have
39:11some respect for what
39:12Matcap can do in the ring.
39:14There's no doubt about that.
39:17He's in his suspender still.
39:19McIntyre did not become
39:20a WWE champion
39:22by taking anyone lightly.
39:25Number one trend
39:26in the United States.
39:27You're damn right.
39:29Pat McAfee trending as well.
39:31Well, not for good reasons,
39:32I assume.
39:33That seems to be the norm
39:34these days.
39:35People speak in my show.
39:36I did hit for it.
39:37But Matcap
39:38is doing
39:40damage.
39:41Yeah, he's got Drew McIntyre
39:42driven down in the corner.
39:44And now McIntyre,
39:45that just angered Drew.
39:47And Drew just tossing
39:48Matcap into the corner.
39:50And McIntyre now
39:51unloading on Moss.
39:53Just grabbed him by his throat
39:54and said, listen up, kid.
39:55Welcome to my world.
39:58Oh!
40:01Oh, my.
40:03Sounded like BTS
40:04last night
40:06on New Year's Rockin' Eve.
40:08Clapping.
40:09Oh, and a big clothesline
40:10by McIntyre.
40:15McIntyre taking it all in.
40:16And Drew now
40:17just powering
40:18Matcap Moss.
40:19That's sick power.
40:20Cover.
40:21Hook of the leg
40:22and Moss kicks it too.
40:28Oh, and another
40:29chop by McIntyre.
40:30McAfee just told us
40:31what happened in there.
40:32He did just suplex him
40:33and now he's throwing
40:34him around.
40:36McIntyre
40:38telegraphed that a bit.
40:39Matcap Moss.
40:40Oh, he looked
40:41to take control.
40:42And how fast,
40:43how quick is McIntyre?
40:44Makes no sense
40:45for his size,
40:46how quick he is.
40:48If he was playing football
40:49he'd be a defensive end.
40:52Just an absolute
40:53stallion of an individual.
40:55Happy Corbin
40:56wants nothing
40:57to do with Drew McIntyre.
40:59And Matcap Moss
41:00tried to
41:02ambush McIntyre
41:03and ran into
41:04an unbelievable throw.
41:07Just shot
41:08put in another
41:09human the length
41:10of a ring.
41:11And Corbin
41:12trying to run
41:13some interference.
41:14Moss
41:15could not
41:16take control.
41:18And again
41:19Corbin trying
41:20to distract
41:21McIntyre
41:22and this time
41:23Moss makes it
41:24pay off.
41:25Two people
41:26is always going
41:27to be better.
41:28Oh, and driving
41:29McIntyre
41:30shoulder first
41:31to the post.
41:32You know,
41:33this is the first
41:34time we've really
41:35seen Matcap
41:36in action.
41:37I would assume
41:38he and Happy
41:39said let's have
41:40a plan because
41:41we're fighting
41:42a massive beam.
41:43Drew McIntyre
41:44just launched.
41:47And then Happy
41:48would get involved
41:49distract Drew
41:50and somehow
41:51Matcap would be
41:52able to
41:53take out
41:54the Scottish
41:55Warrior with the pole.
41:56And Moss
41:57with McIntyre
41:58perhaps in trouble.
41:59Happy Corbin
42:00peacocking around
42:01as Matcap
42:02seems to be in control.
42:03Yeah, Matcap
42:04with an opportunity
42:05here for a
42:06massive win.
42:07The biggest
42:08of his career.
42:09If he could knock
42:10off McIntyre
42:11Matcap
42:12feeling himself
42:13a little bit.
42:14Yeah, Matcap
42:15Moss has got
42:16McIntyre
42:17buckled in the
42:18corner.
42:19This is the type
42:20of confidence
42:21that
42:22can only be
42:23gained in
42:24dominating a human
42:25like Drew McIntyre.
42:27Might be creating
42:28another monster
42:29here with Matcap.
42:30Moss has been
42:31very impressive.
42:32Nice suplex
42:33by Moss
42:34into the cover
42:35trying to put
42:36McIntyre away
42:37who kicks it
42:38one.
42:39Drew McIntyre
42:40said it's going to
42:41take a lot more
42:42than that to keep
42:43Meade down
42:44for three counts.
42:45Matcap says
42:46you got it.
42:47Oh and a
42:48shoulder tackle
42:49knocks down
42:50McIntyre
42:51another cover
42:52by Moss.
42:53Two count
42:54kickout this time
42:55at two.
42:56Gaining speed
42:57off the ropes.
42:58Slingshotted
42:59into that
43:00shoulder tackle.
43:01Matcap
43:02has been
43:03impressive
43:04in 2022.
43:05Yeah,
43:06indeed.
43:07And now
43:08wearing
43:09McIntyre
43:10down.
43:11All day!
43:12All day!
43:14Corbin
43:15continues
43:16to crow at
43:17ringside.
43:19Nobody
43:21cares
43:22I've realized
43:23about Happy
43:24Corbin.
43:25Now they're going
43:26to care if Matcap
43:27Moss knocks
43:28off McIntyre
43:29tonight.
43:30I guarantee
43:31you that.
43:32Well,
43:33we're all
43:34going to care
43:35because it could
43:36create a monster
43:37of arrogance
43:38that we have
43:39telling those jokes
43:40in front of all
43:41these people
43:42that bomb
43:43every time.
43:44Imagine if they
43:45get the confidence
43:46of getting a win
43:47over Drew
43:48McIntyre.
43:49McIntyre
43:50into the
43:51corner.
43:52Nobody home!
43:53Oh my
43:54goodness!
43:55Whoa!
43:56Moss
43:57face first
43:58into the
43:59turnbuckle
44:00and now
44:01a suplex
44:02by McIntyre.
44:03Did you see
44:04the impact
44:05of Moss
44:06hitting the
44:07turnbuckle
44:08at full speed
44:09right there
44:10looking like a
44:11crash dummy.
44:12And now McIntyre
44:13the expression
44:14just changed
44:15on a Smackdown
44:16Warrior.
44:17Momentum
44:18shift here

44:34big man.
44:37How
44:38can a man that
44:39large do the
44:40things that he
44:41does?
44:42None of us know
44:43that's why he is a
44:44WWE superstar.
44:45Looking
44:46for the future
44:47shock DDT
44:48and Moss

51:31about me and Seth working together to take out our opponents and then and then
51:35fight each other with all our hearts for the WWE champions now it's also about
51:39dealing with that bully Brock Lesnar because you've seen what he's done to my
51:43best friend my soulmate Sami Zayn you've seen it I'm gonna take care of him for
51:49that too now you know it's fine it really is fine all I need is a new plan
51:54a better plan I have a better plan step one of the plan
52:00oh I'm gonna go talk to Seth
52:24I look at where I came from and I wasn't supposed to be here like I really
52:46wasn't you know I mean my town is so small I love WWE since as long as I can
52:52remember I'll never be able to escape that feeling that I had when my dad took
52:56me to my first show that was it for me I knew that was what I had to do
53:02From Devonport, Iowa, Seth Rollins!
53:06The era of Seth Rollins has begun!
53:11I know what I want, I want to be the best ever.
53:14To be a leader!
53:15The hysteria that is The Shield!
53:18Oh my God!
53:19Why in the world would Seth Rollins do this?
53:23To be a messiah!
53:24To take this industry into the next decade!
53:27Enjoy the show!
53:33You have left me no choice but to impose my will!
53:40All you have to do is embrace the vision!
53:44What I do is unprecedented, since birth I was trained for excellence
53:49But never leave no evidence, eliminating all this irrelevance
53:52Seth Rollins, with the Intercontinental title, has won Money in the Bank!
53:57What a run!
53:58Seth Rollins is cashing in his Money in the Bank!
54:02The heist of the century!
54:04Seth Rollins is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion!
54:08Seth Rollins has won the Royal Rumble match!
54:12The sole survivor of Team Raw!
54:16Seth Rollins is the Universal Champion!
54:21Gotta get it while you can
54:23I'mma get the upper hand
54:25If we fight, I'mma win
54:26Cause we fight to the end
54:27Till I'm the last one standing
54:29Welcome everybody to Monday Night Rawlins!
54:36Till I'm the last one standing
54:46Maybe it's because it's the home of the world champion Atlanta Braves
54:49Maybe it's because I thought I was watching a football game yesterday
54:52And I saw a massacre, courtesy of the Georgia Bulldog
54:56But this crowd in Atlanta fired up tonight, Corey
54:58No doubt about it, we had the ring in the new year on Bad Street
55:02Atlanta, what a night, what a main event we had to look forward to
