00:00:00when you have the kind of resume charlotte flair has she's absolutely right in dismissing all of
00:00:04them she literally just said i'm her and there is not a single argument that could be made against
00:00:08that fact you might not like the personality but statistically the greatest woman in the history of
00:00:13this industry and she looks every inch that woman right now world-class athleticism obviously high
00:00:18ring iq born for the business and the mindset to be the greatest she doesn't worry about making
00:00:22friends and charlotte now turning into a boston craft center of the ring charlotte really trying
00:00:27to lay it in here and tiffany stratton the champion in trouble remember tap now gets the title
00:00:30charlotte tiffany now rolls through hooks the leg trying to pick up the wind and to kick out by
00:00:34flair well tiffany stratton has been put through the ringer so far charlotte flair was looking fresh
00:00:38as a daisy but now there is fighting the champ still yeah tip underneath now by charlotte charlotte with a
00:00:44bit of a neckbreaker right for you yeah kind of adjusted pull downable that caught up top rope
00:00:48and stratton takes advantage nasty kick to the side of charlotte flair and it really is these
00:00:52physical athletic similarities between these two and tiffany now starting to build some momentum
00:00:57there's that gymnastic background delivery charlotte whips her across the ring
00:01:02it's flair who's rattled by this athleticism coming back in the other direction normally
00:01:06it's flair's biggest asset but it's neutralized tonight against stratton so much balance dexterity
00:01:10and power nice spine buster by stratton stacks up charlotte who has to kick out
00:01:14tiffany stratton is an absolute problem she can do it all
00:01:17power no problem you pick it up and put you through the desert real quick somehow charlotte
00:01:24flair kicks out part of what's coming instinctively to charlotte flair in this match the way she would
00:01:28act so quickly it takes a beat for the less experienced tiffany stratton to ponder her next
00:01:33move and that is really the advantage now that flair has we are sold out tonight 61 467 two titles
00:01:40have changed hands jay usa new world new world champ new day new world tag champs will charlotte flair
00:01:44follow suit in this match i mean if it was a boxing match it would be 10 8 to charlotte flair
00:01:49at this point i agree but still swinging away is tiffany stratton yeah tiffany with charlotte now
00:01:54up on her shoulders rolling senton by stratton tiffany's resilience here is going to pay off
00:01:57and tiffany top rope moves nobody home rolls through way too quick for that one had it scouted
00:02:03tiffany did well to adjust midair and not eat it charlotte into the corner out to the apron this
00:02:07time it pays off for charlotte who delivers the boot to scrap is using the ring to her advantage
00:02:12oh nice such a veteran chip able to deliver a basement drop kick quickly to the cover to
00:02:17retain her championship in a kickout conversely the bigger the beating that tiffany stratton is
00:02:21absorbing in this one the better she is becoming perhaps shaking off some of the early nerves in
00:02:26this one from her first wrestlemania match and now starting to move up the gears and take a little
00:02:30control back for herself maybe they're both starting to settle in here and i like this by stratton not
00:02:34getting too overzealous here regroup think about what you're going to do next catch your breath nerves do a
00:02:40weird thing to your body i think that can work against most athletes charlotte flair though i
00:02:43believe you're going to work a little quicker than that tiffany tiffany oh he's to the back
00:02:48tiffany now runs into a big boot by charlotte quickly try to oh steal the title with a sudden
00:02:53impact and not able to do it everything that we've seen thus far and at the end of the day it could
00:02:56have been just a boot to the face from charlotte flair ruthless it's just a little too much eye
00:03:02candy at times from tiffany stratton things are looking too pretty in the moments you just have to smack
00:03:06your opponent in the mouth and time and again flourish beating it to the punch let me ask you
00:03:10this question away this is under four years tiffany stratton had her first match we talked about that
00:03:13earlier i mean how long did it take you to get to the point where you're confident enough into the
00:03:17ring to do everything the way you needed to do it i'll be perfectly honest with you it depended on
00:03:20the opponent the worse my opponent was the more confident i got show me what you got if i got in there
00:03:25with a record-breaking champ my confidence was shot and that might be where stratton is right now nice chop that
00:03:31one dropped tiffany to the mat there's a chance tiffany stratton is very similar to charlotte born
00:03:35for the spotlight and another chop early in her career in such a big moment maybe this is what
00:03:41she's been waiting for it's getting nasty now charlotte say what do you got tiffany's bringing it to
00:03:44charlotte flair now something just woke up inside tiffany stratton charlotte trying to hang on the
00:03:49ropes tiffany now charlotte sidesteps kick now again champs down charlotte set her up right there
00:03:54do you sense a little frustration starting to build in flair however this young champ who simply
00:04:02will not stay natural selection and tiffany counter
00:04:09and now charlotte flair oh set out power bomb for the championship for a 15th time and a kickout
00:04:16by the champ strat oh good that's flair been so far several times in this maneuver here stratton trying
00:04:22to reverse but flair just had too many answers she thought her like three different times trying
00:04:27to escape stick down power bomb comes through not enough to finish tiff though without looking at
00:04:31the face of flair tells you you know she thought she would be over dry at this point yeah i mean
00:04:34the frustration could be setting in and disdain too our champions fighting tiffany stratt showcasing
00:04:40a great tonight that i don't think a lot of people knew
00:04:44big elbow that step up kick by charlotte and now flair and you know what she's doing here this is very
00:04:52clear she was going to try to injure the leg to set up the figure eight the submission hole by
00:04:55charlotte tiffany able to scoot away well if someone is your athletic equal take out a knee and
00:05:00suddenly they are no longer and now dictating the pace of this one dismissively is charlotte flair
00:05:06i was going to say remember tiffany stratt not the only one in this match that has a gorgeous moonsault
00:05:12charlotte to the top rope the champion though continuing to fight what grit shown by stratton so far
00:05:17charlotte flair thought she had enough time tiffany stratton got up there with the quickness
00:05:21he saved her
00:05:25charlotte fighting back drops the champ
00:05:29again tiffany just keeps getting back in the fight it's unbelievable truly incredible durability
00:05:34from the champ but every time there's a window of opportunity for stratton it gets shot in a
00:05:38heartbeat by flair but tiffany landed on her feet flair went for the boot tiffany side stepped again
00:05:42stratton now drops flair on the back of her head could this be it to retain charlotte just gets
00:05:48the shoulder up really turning into an endurance battle by these two fine athletes this war of
00:05:54attrition and tiffany is still living in there and dropping some heavy artillery of course charlotte
00:05:59equal to it pop up spine buster here by tiffany stratton guys this is just night one wrestlemania saturday
00:06:06over 60 000 expected again tomorrow for wrestlemania sunday on a day that'll kick off with the countdown show
00:06:12and then again wrestlemania the last wrestlemania for john cita tomorrow night charlotte flair
00:06:17tiffany stratton wwe with its title
00:06:22flair going to climb up to the to the top rope and again a resilient stratton back to her feet
00:06:26how much does she have left charlotte flair crossbody lateral press was rolled through
00:06:30by stratton for the win and the kick out by flair again i didn't think she kicked out but don't
00:06:35admire your handiwork tiffany get back on the offense because you know charlotte flair is going to
00:06:40that's what charlotte flair did driving the champ into the second turn mark and it's those split
00:06:43seconds that make all the difference at the very top level like this that's the difference between
00:06:47good and great taking advantage of those situations that arise stratton may well have hit a real road
00:06:52block tonight at wrestlemania after a fine championship reign charlotte taking high risk
00:06:56here stratton's outside the rank back up to the apron charlotte may have been going for the moonsault
00:07:00i think charlotte may have hurt that knee the bracelet covers the surgically repaired knee
00:07:03stratton realized it way it went right out for the knee yeah it's all fair game right now sportsmanship
00:07:08has completely gone out of the window and that catastrophic surgically repaired knee injury that
00:07:13has played charlotte flair is now a bulldog and now you see the good leg for a kick on stratton trying to
00:07:18win the championship stratton's got a kick again i mean almost immediately tiffany stratton right to
00:07:22that knee as soon as you saw weakness i love that that was incredible great where bring awareness by stratton
00:07:27it's immediately one for the attack charlotte flair desperation kick well now there's fear in the
00:07:33mind of charlotte flair who knows full well that her opponent has a target if you're charlotte flair
00:07:37you want to put this one to bed as quickly as possible he always questioning the health of the
00:07:40body part that's kind of under such a surgery now charlotte flair looking to punish the knee of the
00:07:45champion she said if my knee's not great neither is yours and again wearing out the legs weight will
00:07:50set up charlotte for the devastating figure eight finishing submission hold yeah and charlotte may not
00:07:55just want to win this one and become a 15-time world champ why don't you take out your bitterest
00:07:59enemy in the process put her on the shelf let her experience what you had to go through in 2024.
00:08:04again back to the knee of tiffany stratton the champ finds herself falling away on one leg now and now
00:08:10we're going to learn a lot about tiffany stratton tonight charlotte going to go to the figure four
00:08:13can she bridge into the figure eight with a champion trouble trying to bridge into the figure eight
00:08:17because charlotte in her knees the injured knee as charlotte says tap out tap out now mocking the
00:08:23champion and again attacking the bad knee great strategy by strat here well flag a little ahead
00:08:28of herself forgot to protect that knee in the process as she was goading stratton and allowed
00:08:33stratton away out of trouble and again going for the figure four she couldn't bridge enough with the
00:08:38injured knee and now stratton back to the knee the fact that she couldn't deliver the figure eight may
00:08:41have cost her here wade that knee just turned inside out it bedded sideways because the uh the brace has
00:08:47been loosened and stratton now it's it's offering zero protection to flair's knee and now stratton
00:08:52looking to climb up top charlotte flair's in trouble knee exposed but the knees up like charlotte but did
00:08:57the damage go to charlotte's knee charlotte kick out at two by stratt oh charlotte flair putting it all
00:09:06on the line here by hook or by crook she is gonna win number 15. she may well need another leg surgery
00:09:12after this one but what a moment a precise timing there from charlotte flair that knee to the gut of stratton
00:09:19just as she was about to close in on victory charlotte sacrificing her surgically repaired knee to
00:09:24block the moonsault by stratton those are the stakes it's wrestlemania championship gold on the line
00:09:30against the most personal rivalry we've had in years charlotte flair of course one of three women to main
00:09:35event wrestlemania for the very first time knows what it's all about to be in the spotlight to be in
00:09:39the pressure but again the injured knee not allowing to get to the ropes quickly trying to get to the
00:09:44top rope again stratton's going to meet her there tiffany stratton climbing ropes with ease beating
00:09:48down charlotte flair who's going to be able to withstand the punishment
00:09:54critical moment stratton dropped on her face what does charlotte do now charlotte got tiffany stratton
00:09:59in her sights charlotte flair natural selection from the top rope cover to win the championship comes to
00:10:05laying it oh my goodness stratton at two and three quarters will you see the world building on the

00:10:43stratton and again charlotte gonna look for the figure four and the figure eight roll up now by
00:10:46stratton charlotte rolls through trying to power stratton up here it's counter for counter power for
00:10:52power he gave out a bit it's about whose frame is gonna give out first
00:10:56and charlotte the second turnbuckle head off the turnbuckle there cole the critical move
00:11:02tiffany stratton sends charlotte whiplash into the corner not sure if she got all of it but may
00:11:08have gotten enough the back of the head of charlotte flair ricocheting against that second buckle
00:11:13you're right cold whiplash that's like a car crash at 60 miles an hour this deep into a match

00:21:49That answer is moments away.
00:21:50First, let's revisit the saga of unfinished business that led the Tribal Chief, the Visionary,
00:21:54and the voice of the voiceless to lay it all on the line in the main event of WrestleMania Saturday.
00:22:0112 years ago, we came down those stairs
00:22:29to remake this company in our image.
00:22:38We died a long time ago.
00:22:40We died a long time ago.
00:22:44You messed up.
00:22:47And your biggest mistake is not understanding the danger that's right in front of us.
00:22:51For two people, it's clearly personal.
00:22:55For me, it's just business.
00:22:58It's become simple math.
00:23:00The two men who want to stand in my way, gotta go.
00:23:04It's in there.
00:23:04You are a WrestleMania main inspector.
00:23:08Thank you, but that's not the favor that I'm owed.
00:23:12One favor, I owe you a favor.
00:23:15No.
00:23:15Our wise man will owe me a favor.
00:23:18And WrestleMania, in my corner, you're a wise man.
00:23:27Tell him no.
00:23:28No, my Tribal Chief, I can't do that.
00:23:32I brought you into this business.
00:24:00I cannot wait to be the man that takes you both out of it.
00:24:04There can be only one, and it's gotta be me.
00:24:07Wise man, how could you betray me?
00:24:08We should be the man that takes you both out of it.
00:24:14We should lead to the black.
00:24:21We should lead to the black.
00:24:28We should lead to the black.
00:24:32We should lead to the black.
00:24:34Burn it down!
00:25:04You can use one of those!
00:25:17My man's got a flamethrower!
00:25:19Alright, officially the coolest entrance I have ever seen!
00:25:22Living every man's dream, said freakin' Rollins!
00:25:27Zad's getting his money's worth out of that thing and I don't blame it!
00:25:41Run that gas! Burn it down!

00:35:39Oh, my God.
00:35:41It has to be a surreal moment for CM Punk.
00:35:46Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins with no ease.
00:35:49Disgusted over the fact that Paul Hayden, with a smile on his face,
00:35:53kissed CM Punk on the forehead and walked down into the ring
00:35:56with a second city's face.
00:35:58Yeah!
00:36:00it is cf punk's first wrestlemania match in 12 years remember he missed last year's
00:36:24wrestlemania with a torn triceps and tonight he goes into triple threat action with reigns
00:36:29in rollins two men that he cannot stand triple threat rules first man to gain pinfall or submission
00:36:33will win this matchup there are no countouts there are no disqualifications paul heyman is here in
00:36:39punk's corner the question guys though is where does his allegiance really lie well i'll be the
00:36:45first to say i don't trust a word that comes out of the mouth of paul heyman but perhaps for the
00:36:50first time in his entire life he showed some true loyalty to one of the men who brought him to the
00:36:56dance in wwe a bomb that goes way back here at cm punk
00:37:00they're serenading their travel chief
00:37:07who's gonna handle the ulafala
00:37:17he will not trust the man who decided to allow punk's favor to be a part of wrestlemania made in punk's
00:37:35corner remember he owed punk a favor after punk helped roman reigns team out back at war
00:37:39games survivor series look what you did paul
00:37:43see how punk is just laughing at the sight of the disgust in the eyes of roman reigns and we are underway with this triple threat main event with three icons three sure fire hall of famers the official in this main event rod sapata who will have his hands full with these three men tonight
00:37:56so much history between everyone in this matchup you need hours to be able to sift through it all the reason for the animosity and the hatred and the disdain entire generation here in front of our eyes
00:38:10cm punk who burst on the scene
00:38:13now he's utilizing his wise man or best friend he's mocking reigns and rollins is also what he's doing here
00:38:20cm punk showing up at ecw run by paul hayman when he was just a teenager
00:38:25wanting to break into the business he would get to ohio valley wrestling and
00:38:29become hayman's best friend
00:38:31and rollins now said we're not working together
00:38:33enough issues between you and i and what we used to have inside the shield and now we're underway
00:38:37he's trying to strike a deal there it's way too late for that ten years of animosity
00:38:41and cm punk is quite happy to let these two took it out
00:38:44punk now in from behind remember
00:38:46in many ways set rollins the obsession by reigns for rollins of last year cost range the championship
00:38:53reign
00:38:53cm punk has had a non-stop grin on his face as he walked out remember securing the main event of wrestlemania
00:39:00was never the goal winning in the main event of wrestlemania is punk fails to do that
00:39:05and he'll always look back on this night with regret and roman reigns trying to shake out an issue with
00:39:09his hamstring early on in this matchup paul hayman did tell cm punk that he would indeed
00:39:14one day main event wrestlemania paul hayman said i will be with you when it happened
00:39:19and it has and punk now dropped up over the top rope
00:39:21cm punk forever a wrestlemania main eventer because of what's happening right now
00:39:26will this night end with our tribal chief doing what he does so damn often
00:39:30set rollins in position for roman reigns drive by
00:39:33big left chain
00:39:35to the face of seth freaking rollins
00:39:38clean jordans on our tribal chief's feet tonight
00:39:42this is not about a championship this is
00:39:44about pride and dignity and
00:39:46proving you're the best perhaps of a generation
00:39:49it's about ego and animosity
00:39:52and the man who has walked on water in this industry for the past ten years roman reigns
00:39:57immediately taking control
00:39:59embarking at hayman
00:40:00you're talking about saving this industry in the last ten years
00:40:03here's what you could have had hayman you made your choice
00:40:05and now punk also flashed reigns into the ring post
00:40:07let's not forget guys as seth wallins now
00:40:10sets up for a suicide dive with roman reigns
00:40:12all three men outside the ring again no count outs
00:40:14you want as much damage as you want outside the ring
00:40:17taking his time over here by the commentary table like the two ex-shield members
00:40:21beat the hell out of each other and remember
00:40:23the reason that rollins and reigns are here at least
00:40:26when they first arrived on the scene was because of cm punk
00:40:29the shield was built as a security force for cm punk
00:40:32let's not make out like that is some accolade for cm punk
00:40:35they were brought in as security to protect cm punk
00:40:38it wasn't a selfless act by cm punk
00:40:40and both roman reigns and seth rollins know that
00:40:42but again it just
00:40:43more attached to the history between these three men
00:40:45now punk and rollins such personal hatred between these two
00:40:48rollins has never forgotten the fact that punk left the company
00:40:50died off the company for many many years
00:40:51while rollins stayed here and played the soldier
00:40:53and when punk came back through all the fanfare
00:40:54it pissed rollins off
00:40:55and seth rollins now taking out that animosity out punk
00:40:58spoke to rollins earlier he said the only time cm punk
00:41:00has improved the culture in wwe
00:41:03is when he cleared off for 10 years
00:41:04punk now off the barricade
00:41:07the fight now spills out into the crowd here in las vegas
00:41:09steel chair legal
00:41:11undoubtedly cm punk has found the fountain of youth
00:41:13what's physically better than he has done in 15 years and his performances attest to that
00:41:19refreshed ready to go still the best in the world in his eyes
00:41:23again for the first time in any wrestlemania
00:41:25well it's used
00:41:26there's that
00:41:27well garbage can't look at the face of punk
00:41:29saw mick foley last night at the hall of fame
00:41:32jack referee rog zapata has his work cut out here
00:41:35trying to keep this one under control
00:41:36there are no key cues in this scenario
00:41:38the only job he has is counterpintering special
00:41:40again
00:41:41rollins delivering the
00:41:43can from the back of the neck
00:41:44oh c.m. punk
00:41:45back of the back of the head too
00:41:46completely unprotected there was c.m. punk
00:41:48there's a button back there for sure
00:41:50bouncing a youth ain't helping you now punk
00:41:52roman reigns was taken out of the equation
00:41:54turned into a one-on-one message
00:41:57at least momentarily punk now kicked to the midsection
00:41:59paul hayman there is at ringside looking on
00:42:01and now c.m. punk and a suplex out of the garbage can
00:42:03onto the cement
00:42:05sharp twisted steel
00:42:07with that garbage can gouging into the lower back of seth rollins that has
00:42:11historically been an issue keep an eye on that
00:42:14attacking seth rollins his back is a good grade
00:42:18c.m. punk and seth rollins throwing big shots at each other amongst the wwe universe
00:42:22he's heated up between the straight back of us
00:42:25this is part of the problem with a triple threat match to get too diverted with one of your opponents
00:42:29getting into an awful leather war and the third opponent out of sight right now
00:42:33is benefiting from this entire scenario and now fighting back to the barricade
00:42:36and made to your point roman reigns wipes everybody out roman was lying in wait great
00:42:40strategy by the otc full send from our travel chief
00:42:50roman reigns who roman reigns took out c.m. punk chef freaking roland
00:42:55and maybe the first four rows 55 inch vertical
00:42:59and he ran right ball by paul hayman the man who betrayed him
00:43:03when he decided to come out here with c.m. punk tonight
00:43:05far be it from me to criticize roman reigns but i personally would have left seth where he was
00:43:10isolate c.m. punk get him in the ring and try and win this thing well they hate each other equally so
00:43:16our tribal chief is starting to think
00:43:18maybe we do some damage with some furniture why not the spanish table's out here roman reigns now
00:43:24gonna clear things off
00:43:27and the roman reigns gonna do a lot of damage here tonight in our main event the sour look on the face
00:43:32of paul hayman tells the story the man he could have been backing the man he's back for years is in total control of this one
00:43:38is doing exactly what he's done for the better half of the last decade run this thing
00:43:45our tribal chief roman reigns
00:43:49getting c.m. punk out of the way with some physical wrecks at ringside and again continuing
00:43:54the assault on rollins paul hayman may have been on the wrong horse in this one tonight roman reigns
00:43:59is dominating both punk and rollins in this triple threat match yeah hayman does not make many mistakes
00:44:03but this one looks right now at least like a major faux pas from the wise man oh seeing punk fighting
00:44:09back yeah punk will never give up continue continues to say he's the best in the world as he sends
00:44:13reigns back into the ring well this is going to have to be the best performance of his career if he's
00:44:17pulling out victory here that's mocking roman reigns went for the running knee roman reigns able to
00:44:21pick him out of the air there's the power in our reigns being able to get punk up on his shoulders
00:44:24it's a moment dropped by roman
00:44:27set rollins now off the top rope runs into a right hand roman reigns just looking like a different
00:44:34class out there he's got a 10-pack well he's also he's absolutely shredded oh he's being driven
00:44:39by anger as well got a point to prove this evening yeah fueled by animosity and greatness
00:44:44this man wants the top rung again this man wants the business everything he did for paul
00:44:48heyman at paul heyman's career came and running the gravy train riding the gravy train of roman
00:44:52reigns and now to turn his back on him for punk tonight went for the superman punch
00:44:55plug now swinging deathbreaker caught reigns i don't know if it's going to be enough to get a pin
00:45:00gonna have to keep fighting just about avoiding that superman punch for cm punk and rollins up over
00:45:05the top caught by punk again punk in position for the gps wall is not going to allow it to happen
00:45:09running knee now caught reigns in the jaw
00:45:11there's a heel kick to the face of set rollins and now it's cm punk who is starting to build
00:45:18momentum in the matchup amazing job by cm punk of just adapting your offense on the fly take what
00:45:23your opponents are giving you cm punk in control in the main event of wrestlemania gotta be those
00:45:29lightning reflexes for cm punk that's what's got it ahead now couple of running knees by punk in again
00:45:33again to the other side punk now has gained control punk is spoiled for choice you've got two dead
00:45:41bodies in there wait a minute punk now oh and a ddt and an inverted ddt delivered to rollins and reigns
00:45:52vintage punk in the middle of the ring let's take another look 100 ddt from cm punk on roman
00:45:58reigns and seth freaking rollins and then he takes it in for a moment yeah and that's the mistake pat
00:46:02taking it in yeah i get it it's the main event of wrestlemania you've watched so hard to get here
00:46:05a moment you thought you'd never have go for the damn pin i was going to this guy going
00:46:10looking over the shoulder of heyman is punk now from the top rope
00:46:20punk pan homage with a big elbow to rollins and still no pin for punk and to me this is a motion getting
00:46:27the best of cm well heyman's supposed to be an advisor and a coach maybe he should tell punk to go for
00:46:31the cover and end this thing maybe a wise man would say something wise at some point
00:46:36punk now help ben and beat the hell out of both of these men proving a point here tonight soaking
00:46:40it in is one thing you have to be ice cold and clinical to win a match like this and i fear
00:46:45punk has let emotion take over and rollins now top rope uh-oh look at where reigns is
00:46:50robin reigns could be in trouble here robin dragging himself back to his feet
00:46:54rollins trying to fight out of this punk's now on the top rope dangerous situation for everybody involved
00:47:03doomsday device connecting momentarily perhaps unintentionally
00:47:07superman punch cover by raise for the win a slight moment of teamwork between paul heyman's guys and
00:47:16then a superman punch almost ends it well look at the instincts of roman brains first of all we see
00:47:22this doomsday device roman raised not out there admiring handiwork connected with that superman punch
00:47:27immediately in on the pin and came within a millisecond of victory it is electric in las vegas
00:47:32tonight sold out sixty one thousand four hundred sixty seven watching three of the greatest in the
00:47:37game battle it out reigns clunk rollins triple threat action
00:47:48look at the spear ran into a knee see a pump now looking for a gts to reigns elbow by roman to fight
00:47:55his way out of it perfect timing there for a pump but it just stunned the tribal chief
00:48:02and here comes puck now puck now down goes raise for the win for puck kick out at two the high cover
00:48:17right on the shoulders of roman right a second looking for the anaconda device puck looking for
00:48:22the anaconda device if reigns taps it's over ropes will not cause a break hook's got it locked in can
00:48:27reigns hang on oh a rage tap out squeezing the life out of the tribal chief surely fading cutting
00:48:34up that oxygen to the brain referee taking a very close run and by hook or by crook he's trying to
00:48:40counter rollins now drop splash breaks takes up saving the match pin cover robbins almost took
00:48:45out both men double frog splash from seth freaking rollins wow well in the blink of an eye they just went
00:48:53punk thought he had victory in to steal it was the architect step freaking rollins
00:48:59seth's eyes he was saving it i think he thought it was over if he didn't do that but then he got the cover
00:49:08wwe fans serenading rollins wait i was just gonna ask you bolt me down if you're rollins what do you
00:49:14do you clear one man out as quickly as you can figure out who the weakest guy is get him out of the ring
00:49:18then focus all your efforts on the remaining man and again the personal animosity forces rollins to
00:49:23go back to punk and try to beat the hell out of cm punk lifts punk up and a buckle bomb by rollins
00:49:30such a devastating maneuver has taken out several superstars for long periods of time and punk hasn't
00:49:35moved since and now rollins lifting roman reigns up reigns is in trouble as well trying to hang on
00:49:41and another buckle bomb by seth
00:49:46is set freaking rollins the one that's walking out of here as the champion of a generation there's so

00:55:20it backfired the table power slap the spear that should have got it done but this is a main event of
00:55:28wrestlemania and if anyone can dig deeper the most it's set freaking rollins and incredibly
00:55:35this match continues we all thought it was over we all thought our travel chief had his one to the sky
00:55:41but somehow seth freaking rolling out look out look out look out woman reigns who goes for a favor huh
00:55:46i forgot about paul heyman oh not at all woman reigns felt betrayed
00:55:53pump step back into the ring how sweet would it be if rome roman reigns put cm punk to the sword
00:55:59in front of his turncoat former wise man by the way heyman this is all your fault this is all your fault paul
00:56:05woman reigns now we're going to choke out pump as heyman looks on we're going to choke out pump as
00:56:12heyman looks on standing guillotine as the second city saint fades in the biggest moment of his career
00:56:20oh no pump no no no roman reigns locks it in deeper no shoulders down the rods and potter's there
00:56:25roman's got his shoulders up triangle still lock in is punk going to tap out look like punk was tap
00:56:29posted tapping turns it around into a cover forces woman to break and now pump looking for the mice perhaps
00:56:33now pump was able to get out of that guillotine and now he's oh god what a transition great transition
00:56:37by punk and a kind of vice remember ropes do not cause a break submission perhaps to roman reigns
00:56:41punk with heyman looking on cf punk trying to get range to tap
00:56:48critical moment in this match it set rollins back and ball well set didn't get in there this one was
00:56:52over the knowledge while i'm trying to turn things around into
00:56:56looking for a sharpshooter here center of the ring his punch and a tap his punch and a tap
00:57:05investing the world tapping out to the best there is the best there was and the best there
00:57:08ever will be shots of wrestlemania mortal moment this is a double whammy the agony the torture of this
00:57:13move combined with the fact you simply cannot breathe in there punk may pass out roman reigns
00:57:17though trying to get back into this match punk still has not tapped and now roman reigns turns
00:57:21things around and roman gonna try to choke out rollins guillotine rollins trying to get back to
00:57:27a vertical base oh this is ridiculous power from rollins but how the hell do you get out of that
00:57:31those legs are classed around the midsection oh my goodness what a suplex shoulders down now
00:57:37reigns has got to kick out still got them locked in still has not released the choke hold on rollins
00:57:41and roman reigns with a berserk look in his eye and i'll see a puck with a go to sleep to rollins cover
00:57:55the main event continues
00:58:01these men
00:58:02are not mortals and you take your biggest shots and they simply bounce off you turn to despair and
00:58:12that is the dark bit in the mind of cm punk he now has to overcome there is no surrender in any of
00:58:18these three great warriors paul heyman on the outside looks completely lost he looks like he's given up
00:58:24cm punk this is the main event of wrestlemania this is what you fought your entire life for
00:58:28where does he go after this he's already burned every bridge he has
00:58:32came in the scene maybe his career flashed before his eyes as punk continues the attack on rollins
00:58:39roman down rollins down cm punk to his feet broken bodies everywhere you look who can summon
00:58:44something special to grab victory think about the physical exertion that these men have gone through
00:58:51in this matchup punk now trying to lift rollins up trying to perhaps get him in position to go to
00:58:55sleep seth rollins not going to allow it to happen punk now going back to rollins for the go to sleep
00:58:59could have been a smart move there by punk can he get the gts that he does to wallace
00:59:02spear now by rays stop by steph everybody is down
00:59:08this is absolutely incredible
00:59:14well cm punk once again going to the well but without a missed beat roman with the spear followed up
00:59:21with a recoil stomp instinctive from seth freaking rollins
00:59:28what the hell's paul heyman doing oh hey with a steel chair in hand there are no disqualifications
00:59:34in a triple threat match what are you doing paul what the hell are you doing the cogs are
00:59:39whirring in the brain of the wise man yeah you better pray where's that chair going paul you better make
00:59:43the right choice you don't need prayers when you got a steel chair go on paul
00:59:52no disqualification
00:59:57paul heyman has made his choice paul heyman has turned his back on roman reigns
01:00:14to help his friend cm punk who now has a steel chair in hand historic loyalty from paul heyman
01:00:20heyman's in agony paul heyman has returned to his original final team
01:00:48it had to be a ruse all along
01:01:18look look look look look look look and now how out your paul this would be
01:01:32that night indianapolis
01:01:35after a decade payback is finally coming to moment reigns
01:01:40you piece of garbage
01:02:02what the hell did we just witness low blows his best friend in his time okay rewind a couple of weeks
01:02:08seth rollins said you owe me the favor now this is absolute insanity the devil's work is afoot
01:02:17this is disgusting
01:02:38and now and now again to the back of reigns a stop by seth rollins into the cover
01:02:52uh
01:03:02the
01:03:02and the
01:03:17political maneuvering and subterfuge has always dictated the very top level of this industry
01:03:25and Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman just bluff and deceive their way to victory in Vegas
01:03:33you know how many years ago was it Wade when that man in the ring sold his soul to the authority
01:03:39to get ahead in this business and now a decade later he sells his soul again to Paul Heyman
01:03:44to get ahead in this business an ending to this match nobody saw coming CM Punk and his career long
01:03:53best friend is recently reacquired wise man and in the steel chair to the man who has fought so hard
01:04:02for this moment to be present in the main event of Wrestlemania only to be low blow in this entire
01:04:07situation Seth Rollins is the one man that I felt sorry for that I thought was getting shafted
01:04:14that I thought didn't have a play in the game
01:04:16Paul this is the top level at WWE it's the main event of Wrestlemania if you're not shafting your
01:04:24opponents they're shafting you it's about who does it best and Seth freaking Rollins has just mastered
01:04:31this art hang it in the louvre there's been many shield chairs to the back over the years but
01:04:37perhaps none as important and as devastating as the one we witnessed tonight Paul Heyman always seems
01:04:43to survive Paul Heyman is the cockroach who always finds himself at the top of the food chain who you
01:04:49cannot kill who continues to be with the best in the business and now Paul Heyman has aligned
01:04:53himself with Seth freaking Rollins so many questions how long has this been
