00:00To settle the score, as he seeks retribution tonight, versus Mr. Money in the Bank, the so-called future of WWE, Seth Rollins, the man who tried to end the career of Randy Orton.
00:17The future, something all men hope to have one day.
00:22You have to look to the future, and I look to you, Randy Orton.
00:27The business is in his blood.
00:29To be the man above every other, it's what every man hopes to achieve.
00:34Randy Orton has just won the Intercontinental title.
00:37The winner of the Royal Rumble.
00:40Randy Orton is Mr. Money in the Bank.
00:43The youngest world champion in history.
00:46The new WWE champion.
00:49The first ever WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
00:54But the thing about the future, is there's always another one.
00:59On the horizon.
01:02The Shield has owned this yard for well over a year.
01:06Oh my God!
01:07Ladies and gentlemen, the dawning of a new era.
01:11The future of the WWE, Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins!
01:19Hello, Mr. Money in the Bank.
01:21Seth Rollins is running away!
01:23Stop starting fires that we have to put out.
01:26I came here to personally express to you my appreciation.
01:33Oh!
01:36Kane and the security team going after Randy!
01:39And have a beatdown!
01:41Orton's still fighting back.
01:45Oh my God, no!
01:47Finish it.
01:50Oh my God, Seth Rollins!
01:51Seth Rollins!
01:53And with that curb stomp, the future is now.
01:58For four months, all I could think about was having my vengeance on Seth Rollins.
02:03Randy Orton is back!
02:05Randy, come back home.
02:07Join the Authority.
02:09I was just biding my time.
02:11The mind games.
02:13Lots of fun.
02:14I wove my way back into the fabric of the Authority,
02:17and eventually got them to trust me.
02:19But I saw an opportunity.
02:21Is that itself?
02:22And that moment, when he needed me to make that tag...
02:27Oh, no.
02:28I saw fear in Seth Rollins' eyes.
02:31An emphatic statement from Orton.
02:41Are you crazy?
02:43You think that I would join you?
02:47Who do you think I am?
02:49You don't know me, Seth.
02:50You thought I was just gonna let it go?
02:57For years and years, Randy thought that he could get away with whatever he wanted,
03:03whenever he wanted, with no consequences.
03:08Let me tell you something, Randy.
03:10You have never messed with anybody.
03:13Architect.
03:14Mastermind.
03:15Future of the WWE.
03:17Like me.
03:20We're WrestleMania.
03:22I'm gonna end the future of the WWE.
03:44The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
03:47Introducing first, being accompanied by J&J Security,
03:52from Davenport, Iowa, weighing in at 217 pounds,
03:57Mr. Randy Orton!
04:00Randy Orton!
04:01Randy Orton!
04:02Randy Orton!
04:03Randy Orton!
04:04Randy Orton!
04:05Randy Orton!
04:06Randy Orton!
04:07Randy Orton!
04:08From Davenport, Iowa, weighing in at 217 pounds,
04:12Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins!
04:18Yeah, guys, Mr. Money in the Bank.
04:20Keep in mind what that could mean later on tonight
04:22with the WWE World Championship match coming.
04:24Well, you're right about that.
04:25That briefcase that Seth Rollins holds has inside of it a contract
04:29that is good for a World Championship match
04:32anytime he wants to cash it in.
04:38Seth Rollins said to go one-on-one with Randy Orton
04:41here tonight at WrestleMania.
04:55And WrestleMania is brought to you by Terminator Genisys.
04:59In theaters everywhere July 1st in 3-D.
05:03Terminator Genisys.
05:14His opponent, from St. Louis, Missouri,
05:18weighing in at 245 pounds,
05:21he is the Apex Predator,
05:24Randy Orton!
05:27Without a doubt that man right there,
05:29Randy Orton, does hear voices in his head.
05:32This is the 12th straight WrestleMania for that man, Randy Orton.
05:37Yeah, right now, he's hearing over 70,000 voices saying, Randy, Randy,
05:42they wanna see the Vipers strike on Seth Rollins.
05:45Beautiful day in the San Francisco Bay Area here in Levi's Stadium,
05:49over 70,000 plus temperature in the mid 70s.
05:52Bright sunshine for WrestleMania.
05:54And you know guys,
05:55Hall of Famer Booker T said earlier this week on WrestleMania Today, and
05:59I love this quote, John.
06:00He said that Orton was Seth before Seth was Seth.
06:05Meaning that Orton's been through it all, just like Rollins.
06:07He was part of the evolution, he became a legend killer.
06:10He was a master manipulator.
06:11Been there, done that.
06:12But the difference in Booker's mind was that Randy Orton can't be controlled.
06:18And what happens when you meet a younger version of yourself?
06:21I think what Randy's thinking is, you gotta control it.
06:25We'll see if Seth Rollins can be controlled.
06:35With experience comes wisdom.
06:38This right here is what this young man, Randy Orton, was born to do.
06:43In my case, experience came alone.
06:45I don't know what happened.
06:46You build a sports entertainer from the ground up, that's what it looks like.
06:50Bob Orton's kid, Randy Orton.
06:53You know, Randy Orton was once called to face the WWE by The Authority.
06:59And Seth Rollins came along, and
07:01Rollins was named the future of WWE by that same group.
07:05Orton was excommunicated, and here we go.
07:08Rollins, the poster child for
07:09The Authority against the rebellious Randy Orton.
07:13Talked to Seth Rollins earlier today.
07:14He was very proud of himself for setting Randy up like this.
07:18What do you mean, setting Randy up?
07:20I mean, this is an entire plan.
07:21Randy thinks that he's cornered Seth.
07:23You don't corner a predator.
07:25Predator corners you.
07:27Seth Rollins has orchestrated this entire thing to make sure the whole world knows
07:30right now the future of the WWE is now, and it's not Randy Orton.
07:35This is the entire game plan of Seth Rollins to get Randy here.
07:38Well, you could say the same thing- And make Randy think it's his idea.
07:40You could say the same thing about Randy Orton.
07:43You don't strike a viper, the viper strikes you.
07:47There's no doubt that Randy Orton is in the prime of his career right now.
07:51And Orton, over the top.
07:56Rollins lands on his feet.
07:59Dropkick by Randy.
08:01Caught Rollins right in the bush.
08:03Went for the RKO early, and Seth Rollins is up right now.
08:07The slithering viper almost caught Rollins.
08:10That could have been over early.
08:11Seth Rollins said he'll have none of that.
08:14Now Randy outside the ring, and we saw Orton glance back at Noble.
08:18J&J Security gonna cause issues for the viper throughout this matchup, guarantee it.
08:23Seth, watch that throw.
08:24Seth Rollins, no doubt,
08:29we've talked about this on so many occasions, he's got all the tools.
08:33J&J Security aren't out here to cause trouble, they're out here to protect Seth.
08:36There's 70,000 people here who want to get to Seth, he's a rock star.
08:43Yeah, I'm sure they would just like to touch him and maybe get an autograph, right?
08:47You're right, King.
08:49Well, Randy Orton wants to do a little more than that.
08:51That's who Seth Rollins needs protection from.
08:55Yeah, wow.
08:57Rollins tried to end Orton's career a couple of curbstomps a lot of months ago.
09:03The night that Orton was kicked out of the authority.
09:06Bible of supremacy right here.
09:07It's been called the face of the WWE against the future.
09:11Right across the head of Seth Rollins, but now Rollins.
09:19And he follows it up with a clothesline.
09:23Almost turned Seth Rollins inside out.
09:26And Randy Orton now, possession of some of RKO.
09:29Roman Mercury pulls in the distraction, Noble as well.
09:34And again, J&J security sticking their nose into the business of Randy Orton again.
09:38And both of them paying the price.
09:40It was Orton sticking his nose in their business.
09:42Wait a minute.
09:42He's gonna do his pop-up on the apron.
09:46Look at this.
09:47Usually he does this for the second rope, but Randy's gonna do it for the apron.
09:50No, no.
09:53Taking out J&J with a double DDT.
09:55Those are human beings, damn it.
09:57Well, we may have no more security problems here tonight.
10:00Look out, Rollins.
10:02And Randy driven right into the announce tables.
10:05Rollins taking advantage.
10:06Again, J&J security, despite the fact they were taken out, paying dividends for
10:10Rollins.
10:12Look at Rollins now realizing his security force has been dismantled.
10:16Sadistically dismantled by Randy Orton.
10:19And he's gotta turn his attention back to the Viper.
10:24And Rollins does crawl to the cover.
10:26Hooks the leg and a kick out by Randy.
10:32Check this out one more time.
10:34Seth Rollins comes flying Randy Orton into not one, but two announce tables.
10:40Now Rollins blasting away at Randy Orton.
10:43We mentioned before, bright sunlight filling the stadium here.
10:46It's 4.40 in the afternoon on the West Coast.
10:49Joey Mercury's head's already red.
10:51I wish a Joey's head is black and blue now, thanks to Randy.
10:59Rollins with that boot right in that face area of Randy Orton.
11:04Rollins is definitely an opportunist to be able to take advantage.
11:09Not the distraction by a security team.
11:12Whoa.
11:15Suplex door, hooks into the cover.
11:17Shoulders down, they have him here.
11:18And a kick out at two by Randy.
11:20Didn't get the leg.
11:22Seth Rollins made a mistake there.
11:24What a very few that Seth will make.
11:27Not too early in this match to beat Randy Orton with a suplex.
11:31That's not gonna happen.
11:33Seth just trying to slow things down.
11:39Whether the storm from the Viper, let him get out all of his emotion,
11:42all his craziness, and then wear him down.
11:45You're right about that, JBL.
11:46Can you imagine the adrenaline rush that you get walking down this ramp
11:50in front of over 70,000 people?
11:52And then being in the grandest stage of them all against an opponent
11:55like Seth Rollins?
11:56You're right, that is emotional.
12:02Face first, right into the turnbuckle.
12:04That's gonna take its toll on Randy.
12:05And Seth Rollins has taken over this match.
12:08Seth is just dismantling the 12-time WWE World Champion.
12:13Well, it may take something like that to snap Randy back to reality,
12:16make him realize, hey, forget the circumstances.
12:19You've got to beat Seth Rollins somehow, some way.
12:21One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
12:27One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
12:29This is my time.
12:30Seth Rollins talking smack, saying this is his time.
12:35It looks like Rollins gets such a big chip on his shoulder.
12:41It very well could be.
12:42I think Booker T may be right.
12:43Maybe Seth is just a younger, better version of Randy Orton.
12:46Oh, Rollins landed on the apron.
12:49Randy didn't quite create the separation he needed,
12:52but maybe he did that close-up with a clothesline.
12:55And here comes Randy now.
12:56Yeah, Seth, you better check your watch.
12:59Orton all went for the power slam.
13:00Rollins hung on, saw it coming, curb stop.
13:02Orton now with a power slam.
13:04The Great Ones make it look easy.
13:06Rollins is going for a curb stop.
13:08Orton turned it to his advantage.
13:14Wow.
13:15That is physical.
13:17There are not many in WWE that throw an uppercut like Orton does.
13:20Hey, hey, hey.
13:22Hey, hey.
13:23Hey.
13:24Hey, hey.
13:25Hey, stop it.
13:27If this will take the charge of the matchup, it's going to.
13:29Oh, no.
13:30And look at Seth Rollins again trying to take advantage of the opportunity.
13:33And Randy does not want to be disqualified.
13:36He wants to beat Seth Rollins right in the middle of the ring.
13:39And he may do it right there.
13:44Rollins ends up on the apron.
13:47J&J Security still suffering from that double DDT by Orton before.
13:51No kidding, right on the floor.
13:53Some face smashing went on there.
13:58J&J Security, they refused medical attention.
14:01The doctor came over.
14:02They told them to get out of there.
14:03That's because they're tough guys.
14:05Oh, Orton now.
14:07So big and tough.
14:08Oh, and Seth caught him.
14:13You can hear it here at ringside.
14:18Randy out on the floor along with J&J Security.
14:24Referee will begin to count.
14:26Rollins is on the apron.
14:28Seth Rollins looking for Rollins.
14:30Second rope.
14:31Moonsault.
14:32And the moonsault caught Randy Orton.
14:36Man.
14:39One, two, three.
14:42Seth's back.
14:43Watch it hit this table here.
14:44Yeah, watch this moonsault here.
14:47Man, that is truly throwing caution to the wind.
14:52Total disregard for your own well-being.
14:54Yeah, but Seth Rollins has taken over.
14:56Randy's hurt, guys.
14:57Randy is really hurt.
15:00Rollins has got Randy back in the ring.
15:09Seth Rollins going for the top rope.
15:11Seth Rollins going to go up top.
15:12Oh, my gosh.
15:13Seth Rollins.
15:14Look out, Randy.
15:15Whoa, look out.
15:16Seth Rollins.
15:18Smart move by the Viper.
15:29We have seen our kills from there.
15:33Right now, Randy's going for that superplex.
15:36This doesn't end well.
15:43High risk up there, but Seth countering.
15:46Seth Rollins able to counter.
15:52Rollins just pounding the back of Randy Orton.
15:54It says creative.
15:56This is going to be interesting.
15:58Oh, yeah.
15:59Create that.
16:00Big back drop.
16:02Randy Orton turned things around quickly.
16:10He's just looking into the cold eyes of the Viper.
16:14Now, the Viper way up top.
16:16Oh, no.
16:17What a cross body.
16:18Rollins rolled through.
16:19The Rollins got him.
16:20And an ear fall.
16:21You see Randy Orton do that very often.
16:24That may be the reason why Seth Rollins didn't.
16:27Oh, that's going to be up there.
16:29Seth Rollins.
16:30Seth doesn't want to be up there.
16:31Seth doesn't want to be up there.
16:32DDT planning Rollins.
16:34Cover him.
16:35Cover him.
16:36You may have him.
16:37He wants to make him suffer.
16:38He's hearing things.
16:39Orton wants to make Rollins suffer.
16:41He's hearing things.
16:44Those voices in his head.
16:46After what Seth Rollins did to Randy Orton,
16:48all those curb stops trying to end his career,
16:50Orton wants to make Rollins suffer at WrestleMania.
16:55Randy's going to that place.
17:00Population one, Randy Orton.
17:01No, wait.
17:02Rollins.
17:03Countered.
17:04Almost had him.
17:05That was close.
17:06Kicked right to the jaw.
17:07On the button.
17:08Randy Orton's been stunned.
17:09Orton was stunned by Rollins.
17:13No.
17:14Look at this.
17:15RKO.
17:16Orton with an RKO.
17:18From out of nowhere.
17:19Alan Rollins kicked out at two.
17:21How did he do that?
17:23That's what Randy's wondering.
17:25How did Rollins kick out?
17:26That was a perfectly executed RKO.
17:28The future of the WWE may be now.
17:33That is what Orton's wondering.
17:36How on earth did Seth kick out of that RKO?
17:38Guys, you've got to give Seth Rollins props for that.
17:41No doubt.
17:42See the wheels spinning in Randy's head.
17:44How many superstars have gone down to defeat with that RKO,
17:48but somehow Seth Rollins survived.
17:51Randy's starting to wonder,
17:53is Seth really as good as Seth says he is?
17:55Definitely kicking out of that RKO.
17:57Pretty much verified that.
17:59Yeah, but did he take everything Seth had?
18:05Oh, no.
18:06Oh, no.
18:07Wait a minute.
18:08Randy Orton.
18:09Is it fourth and long?
18:10Yeah, Randy Orton may be lining up Seth Rollins to the puck
18:13that's taken out so many legends.
18:15Oh, no.
18:16Don't do it, Randy.
18:18Don't do it, Randy.
18:20RKO to Noble.
18:23RKO to Noble.
18:26RKO to Mercury.
18:28What an idiot.
18:29What an idiot.
18:30He did his job, King.
18:32Sacrificed himself.
18:33Oh, there we go.
18:34There we go.
18:35The future of the WWE ball game.
18:38Rollins.
18:39Oh, and Orton.
18:40No.
18:41What?
18:44Rollins kicks out of an RKO,
18:46and now Orton kicks out of a curb stomp.
18:51Orton delivered two RKOs to J&J security.
18:54Rollins took advantage.
18:56And I had no idea how Randy kicked out of that.
18:58Connected with a curb stomp,
19:00and Orton, perhaps on instinct alone,
19:02was able to get the shoulder up.
19:03You know what it is, guys?
19:04You know why they're able to do that?
19:06Because it's WrestleMania.
19:07Second RKO by Orton, but watch Rollins take advantage.
19:11And from out of nowhere,
19:13Seth Rollins delivers the curb stomp to Randy.
19:15And how the hell did Orton get his right shoulder up here
19:19right before the count of three?
19:21Like I told you, it's WrestleMania.
19:26Everybody's digging down deeper.
19:28Well, there is a lot at stake here.
19:30This is a battle of alpha males
19:33about who is the top dog here in the WWE.
19:36This is the face versus the future,
19:38and the future saying the future is now.
19:43Oh, we have seen this before.
19:47Rollins certainly has his fans here.
19:52Watch this.
19:53Watch this.
19:57Get your balance, Seth.
19:58What's he gonna do?
19:59What's he gonna do?
20:00Rollins!
20:01Lanzai's feet rolls through.
20:02Randy Orton went for the RKO.
20:04Rollins countered.
20:05Rollins again to the midsection.
20:07Seth Rollins may have run toward Randy
20:09and positioned for another curb stomp.
20:10Oh, my God!
20:12Oh, my God!
20:13Unbelievable counter!
20:14Unbelievable!
20:15What an RKO!
20:16What an RKO by Orton,
20:18and Randy Orton wins!
20:20What an RKO!
20:22It's WrestleMania!
20:24Here is your winner,
20:26Randy Orton!
20:29Guys, Randy Orton and Rollins set up.
20:32Orton was in position for a curb stomp.
20:35He suckered Rollins in,
20:37and he delivered the RKO
20:39like only the Viper can.
20:42Oh, my God.
20:45That's what superstars like Randy Orton do
20:47at WrestleMania.
20:49They rise to the occasion.
20:52Gotta say, nobody's better at doing that
20:54than Randy Orton.
20:56Seth Rollins may be the future,
20:57and I believe he is,
20:58but that future is certainly not today.
21:03What an incredible performance
21:04by both these athletes here tonight.
21:06Amazing.
21:10Let's go back and look at the curb stomp.
21:11This is where I thought Seth Rollins
21:13had won the match.
21:15Perfectly delivered curb stomp.
21:17Randy Orton was out, but no!
21:19Randy Orton survives.
21:21And then Seth Rollins goes for curb stomp number two.
21:24Way up there!
21:25But instead, Randy Orton
21:26brings him down to Earth
21:28with a beautiful RKO,
21:30and that wins it.
21:32Watch the height, guys.
21:34Look at this.
21:35This is a thing of beauty.
21:36Watch Orton pop out of this,
21:38and in one fluid motion.
21:40Gosh!
21:43You're right, Cole.
21:44That is a thing of beauty.
21:45That could be the best RKO we've ever seen.
21:50That's a WrestleMania RKO.
21:53And Randy just keeps getting better
21:55and better and better.
21:57The Apex Predator,
21:58back at the top of the food chain.
22:01Vengeance is the vipers at WrestleMania.
22:06Man, that was great.
22:09What a sight!
