17:17closer to history
17:19Watch the opportunity to battle for the
17:21title at SummerSlam
17:25How you doing Austin, Texas?
17:2720 years ago I won
17:29the world title for the very
17:31first time. I became
17:33the youngest world champion on
17:35that night 20 years ago
17:37History will repeat itself
17:39and I will become a
17:4115 time heavyweight
17:43champion!
17:49The man who beat Damien Priest
17:51at SummerSlam
17:53He has all the tools
17:55He is certainly capable
18:00At the Bash
18:02in Berlin I'm gonna beat this guy
18:04and Monday Night Raw
18:06is gonna be my new home
18:08Take a picture of him, memorize
18:10that moment because
18:12one of the greatest of all time
18:14You should be
18:16the greatest of all time
18:18The most natural
18:20and physical gifted talent
18:22You took all of that
18:24and wasted it
18:26You better look at me because I want you to understand something
18:29And in my era, there's no
18:31room for people that waste
18:33their potential
18:35You won't play a role anymore
18:37I'm gonna have to stop you right there man
18:39I never claimed to be
18:41perfect. I think maybe you forgot
18:43who you were talking to
18:45Let me remind you just who
18:47you were talking to
18:49My name is Randy Orton
18:51The most controversial yet
18:53successful
18:55That this is a curse
18:57You got it all wrong
18:59I look at it as a gift
19:01The American way
19:03I've got 5 beautiful kids
19:05I've got a hot ass
19:07smoke show of a wife
19:09Soon to be 15 time
19:11WWE World Champion
19:13It's the opposite
19:15I think you are very predictable
19:17I'm gonna give you the beating of your lifetime
19:19when we meet in Berlin
19:21You will never be World Heavyweight Champion
19:23again
19:25What really really matters
19:27You always screw it up
19:29It just comes naturally to you
19:31I feel like
19:33Your grandfather was a screw up
19:37Your father was a screw up
19:39You are the biggest
19:41screw up of them all
19:55RKO
19:57Out of nowhere
19:59Meanwhile Punk
20:01Coming from out of nowhere
20:03To attack McIntyre
20:05And these two continue to brawl
20:07This personal issue
20:09Simmering tonight
20:11And now Punk with the belt in hand
20:15Drew McIntyre
20:17On Monday Night Raw
20:19That SummerSlam of CM Punk
20:21A long time coming
20:23What a night for CM Punk
20:25Here in Austin
20:27Dwee Dwee
20:29Says CM Punk
20:31Seamus I was hoping to get your reaction
20:33To what Pete Dunne had to say earlier today
20:35How the pyramids were built
20:37If aliens really exist
20:39I could even give you Bigfoot's name and address
20:41But the one mystery I can't understand
20:43Is why Pete Dunne has so much beef with me
20:45I was there 6 months
20:47In traction
20:49If I was ever gonna get back
20:51And he blames me
20:53Now he's making himself relevant again off my name
20:55Truth is Jackie I don't know if you do
20:57Hey old fella
20:59Excuse me Jackie
21:01I put you through a real banger last week didn't I
21:03Just here to tell you don't make the mistake of believing that this is over
21:05I'll come back
21:07To put an end
21:09To the Celtic Warrior once and for all
21:11You get that
21:13But if you wanna go with me
21:15RKO
21:17From behind with a Swaley
21:19That's enough
21:21Oh my goodness
21:23May have broken his hand
21:25Look at his smile on the way out
21:29Awesome
21:31Came to the
21:33The
21:35Beast
21:37On MTV
21:39Miz, Big Bronson Reed live next
21:41Earlier tonight it was cited that you were
21:43Experiencing travel issues but I'm pretty sure
21:45We were on the same flight to Austin
21:47And then I experienced no sort of delay
21:49No you are not wrong
21:51That was me on your flight
21:53Sat next to each other
21:55I told a little white lie because I figured if I showed up
21:57Drew wouldn't
21:59I just got done watching a bunch of the Olympic athletes on the track and field
22:01Drew could
22:03No I told a little white lie to get my hands on Drew
22:05My wife's name on it with my dog's name on it
22:07And it's not about the bracelet
22:09It's the context
22:11It's the names that are on the bracelet
22:13And I'm glad I came to Austin Texas
22:15To put a beating on Drew
22:17I went to Glasgow
22:19This isn't going to stop until I get my hands on him
22:21Because I know he's going to call me a hypocrite
22:23For saying I had travel problems
22:25This is a man who says he hates my guts
22:27But wants to stay attached to me
22:29I just figured out a way to make everybody happy
22:33WWE Hall of Famer
22:35Bust an open legend
22:37Big
22:39Bronson
22:41Reed
22:43Bronson Reed
22:45The fines were worth it
22:47The match with the Miz
22:49And the Miz is contemplating everything

23:01Big Bronson Reed
23:03Like a bowling ball
23:05And Bronson Reed now off the edge
23:07Here comes Miz
23:09Miz looking to take the big man down
23:11Miz with a great counter
23:13For the win and Reed kicked it one
23:17Reed begging for more

25:34And Sami Zayn
25:37Yeah, certainly not
25:39Talked to Sami earlier today
25:41He's very confident heading into this matchup tonight
25:43They like to talk about how great they are
25:45Maybe what they're gonna do to somebody out that ring
25:47Not my style
25:49So I'm gonna do things the good old fashioned way
25:51Actions speak louder than words
25:53Now if you'll excuse me
25:55I'm a badass
25:57And it's time to do what badasses do
25:59Football guy, Pat McAfee
26:01We got any dogs barking in Austin?
26:03All around the globe
26:05For this man
26:07How could you not be excited
26:09Built to be a force
26:11He's built for success
26:13But Sami Zayn has
26:15All of the traits that you would need

26:19Breaker Zayn, best two out of three fall
26:21By Sami, sends Breaker up over the top rope

26:43Waist lock by Breaker, into a German suplex
26:45You're tensing
26:47Sami though, halloumi kick
26:49Collapses
26:51Zayn's got the first fall

29:43Larry Scott, New York
29:45Weighing in at 405 pounds
29:47Weighing in at 405 pounds
29:49Juice!
29:51If you listened to After The Bell this week
29:53You'll know this is a match I've wanted to see some time
29:55You'll know this is a match I've wanted to see some time
29:57and it's almost time to start
30:09This guy has to be on guard against Theory
30:11who is not above cutting corners to get what he wants.
30:37Are you a town down, Corey?
30:39All day.
30:45And his opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia,
30:48weighing in at 220 pounds,
30:51Austin Theory!
30:55This young man is as cocky as the day is long,
30:58but he backs it up every night.
31:08Wow!
31:10You're going nowhere!
31:12Austin Theory.
31:27He came in very easily.
31:29This kind of gameplay,
31:31you get it here along with Austin Theory.
31:33He came in, and he's playing with his friends.
31:43How did that caption go?
31:46Well, that's...
31:48I can't...
31:50Well, I don't have that information readily available.
31:53Usually, the guys at 2K are great about giving me the stats.
31:56I'll get back to you.
32:07Theory here, a superstar who loves to get under his opponent's skin,
32:10loves to just grind their gears.
32:12Look, Cole, Theory can't help it
32:14if he's just so preternaturally talented
32:16that it makes everyone else jealous.
32:18They're just embarrassing themselves,
32:20getting so worked up about it,
32:22and Theory just so happens to take pleasure
32:24in embarrassing his opponents.
32:26Yeah, tonight should be no different for Theory,
32:28but across the way is a man who's rededicated his focus,
32:31someone who's been spending extra time
32:33training and scouting for his competition.
32:36Ooh!
32:38Ah, knee lift!
32:43Big splash!
32:46Ooh!
32:48Connects on the kick!
32:51Oh, my goodness!
32:53From the ground up!
32:55Power slam!
32:57Clearly an attack that very few superstars can fulfill
33:00with such ease!
33:03And the electricity of this moment
33:05is coursing through his veins!
33:14Theory is firing up,
33:16no doubt about it.
33:19Wow, and a pump kick!
33:21Stomping! Ouch!
33:24Oh, my gosh!
33:33Got the full Nelson!
33:35Slam!
33:41Start counting, Saxton!
33:43One, two, three, four!
33:46We could be here all day!
33:48Power!
33:49I think you're right!
33:51And one arm!
33:53Austin Theory has such an instinct for the ring.
33:55How do you find an answer
33:57for those natural talent scores?
33:59If you're waiting for Austin Theory
34:01to make a rookie mistake, it won't happen.
34:03You have to seize control of the matchup
34:05and force him out of his comfort zone.
34:08Theory, the superstar's getting right back in this match!
34:10It's almost like...
34:12It almost looked like there was gonna be a comeback here
34:14for a moment.
34:17Ooh!
34:29He is getting rid of the turnbuckle pad!
34:31Don't say that too loud, Saxton. You might get caught.
34:33It couldn't have felt good
34:35being sucked around like that.
34:37Stomp after stomp after stomp!
34:39You could feel the resentment building with each stomp there.
34:41Shoulders down!
34:44Gets the shoulder up!
34:46Maybe that was just to keep his opponent off balance.
34:52Oh, look at this power!
34:54Uh-oh!
34:56He can end it here!
34:58Come around the pin!
35:00Oh, wait a minute! Turns the leopard shirt!
35:02And for some reason, he stops the count.
35:07Placing them right where they want them.
35:09Into the corner!
35:12What?!
35:18Ooh!
35:22Oh, my goodness!
35:24Each of those boots seem to get heavier with each blow!
35:28Huge clothesline deliver!
35:30Goodness! All that effort produces nothing!
35:36He is looking to do some serious harm!
35:39This one is head outside, guys.
35:41In theory, able to adapt.
35:45Back and forth, back and forth.
35:47Looking for the advantage here.
35:49Boom!
35:53Big splash!
35:55He's finding himself in trouble here.
35:57Yeah, this is not good.
35:59You don't say, Saxton.
36:01He's taking a moment to feel the crowd,
36:03but he better...
36:05Maybe not! Roll up!
36:07Another attempt underway,
36:09but the ref is still distracted!
36:11These men knew this match was going to be hard-fought.
36:19Catches the leg!
36:21Evades the attack!
36:24TD!
36:28Oh, my gosh! What impact!
36:34Boom! It's okay, they weren't that pretty anyway.
36:38Yeah!
36:40That holds back Theory's attack!
36:44Pow! What a shot!
36:46Shot combination!
36:48Across the forehead,
36:50right to the chest,
36:52and then the throat! Wicked!
37:07Boom!
37:17Beautiful takedown!
37:19He's locked!
37:21Just tap out!
37:23And Theory takes it!
37:29Here is your winner,
37:31Austin Theory!
37:33Big win for Austin Theory tonight!
37:35Like him or not,
37:37tonight belongs to Austin Theory.
