00:0016,902 WWE fans are on hand as they watch the 20-foot-high structure,
00:07thousands of square feet of chain link, five tons of steel for the 53rd time in WWE history.
00:16Welcome to a hell in a cell match.
00:30Welcome to a hell in a cell match.
01:00Welcome to a hell in a cell match.
01:30The following is a hell in a cell match.
01:43Introducing first, from Ayr, Scotland,
01:47weighing in at 275 pounds,
01:51Drew McIntyre!
01:58Ladies and gentlemen, it was 27 years ago to the day,
02:04in St. Louis, Missouri,
02:06where the hell in a cell structure first surrounded the ring.
02:10And on that night, The Undertaker faced Shawn Michaels in an epic battle.
02:15On the night when The Undertaker's brother, The Demon Kane,
02:18would appear for the first time in WWE.
02:23Since that night, hell in a cell has made history.
02:33It's made history while simultaneously tearing flesh,
02:37shattering bodies, ending careers, and altering lives.
02:43Drew McIntyre steps inside hell for the third time in his career.
02:48He is yet to win in this matchup.
02:51Losing to Randy Orton for the WWE Championship four years ago.
02:56Losing to Bobby Lashley three years ago.
02:59Tonight, Drew McIntyre hopes to end that streak
03:04and end the career of CM Punk.
03:08You know, Corey, another interesting statistic.
03:11Drew McIntyre made his premium live event debut
03:1615 years and one day ago.
03:20Ironically, in the hell in a cell premium live event.
03:26Oh, how Drew McIntyre is called.
03:30You know, Cole, in this industry,
03:32we generally try to avoid using the word hatred.
03:35Superstars usually maintain certain levels of professionalism.
03:39Not the case with CM Punk.
03:41He's a professional.
03:42He's a professional.
03:43He's a professional.
03:44He's a professional.
03:45He's a professional.
03:46He's a professional.
03:47He's a professional.
03:48He's a professional.
03:49He's a professional.
03:50He's a professional.
03:51He's a professional.
03:52He's a professional.
03:53He's a professional.
03:54He's a professional.
03:55He's a professional.
03:56He's a professional.
03:57He's a professional.
03:58Not the case with CM Punk and Drew McIntyre.
04:00You can see by the look in McIntyre's eyes.
04:02He has one mission tonight.
04:04To end CM Punk for good.
04:06Celebrities and Hall of Famers joining us in Atlanta.
04:09Tonight, of course, a city rich in professional wrestling history.
04:13When the stakes are the highest, the stars come out and shine the brightest.
04:17We are joined right behind us at ringside by the Hall of Famer himself.

04:28And also, there's my guy, Killer Mike.
04:31Grammy Award winning rapper, actor, and activist from right here in Atlanta.
04:35Member of the critically praised hip-hop duo Run the Jewels.
04:40Let me guess, Paul.
04:41You got Killer Mike that seat.
04:42I did.
04:43Hung out with him backstage.
04:44Took pictures with him.
04:45Signed autographs.
04:46Big hip-hop guy.

05:57And his opponents from Chicago, Illinois.
06:06Weighing in at 218 pounds.
06:09CM puck.
06:13Corey CM puck in his career is two and two in HLNSL matches.
06:19This is his first in nearly 11 years.
06:23Right here in Atlanta, back in 2012,
06:26CM Punk actually had a Hell in a Cell match
06:29against Ryback, defeating him inside this structure.
06:34But you used the word hatred before.
06:37That is what this is about for these two men.
06:39They want to end each other's careers.
06:42They want to maim each other.
06:44They want to send each other to the hospital.
06:47This is not wholly unfamiliar territory,
06:50psychologically speaking, for CM Punk.
06:53If you look back years ago in Punk's career,
06:55once upon a time, he admitted,
06:58in order to destroy the monsters of the world,
07:00he himself must become a monster.
07:04Punk has got to tap into that side of himself tonight
07:07if he wants to walk out of the cell or Atlanta at all.
07:10He said Drew McIntyre has made him the man
07:13his first critics say he is.
07:16McIntyre, on the other hand, tweeted out
07:18and also added a very emotional video today
07:21where he said this is not going to be classic.
07:23It's not going to be cinema.
07:26It is going to be mutually assured destruction.
07:31-♪♪
07:40-♪♪
07:41Match-up is underway.
07:42-♪♪
07:45The official here tonight
07:49in this match-up inside the ring is Sean Bennett.
07:53Daphne Lashon is outside of hell in a cell.
07:56The rules of the match-up are simple.
07:58You win via pinfall or submission.
08:01There are no count-outs.
08:02There are no disqualifications.
08:05Punk and McIntyre, the trilogy starts now.
08:14-♪♪
08:24-♪♪
08:32And here we go. McIntyre and Punk.
08:35And from the opening swing, State Farm Arena is rocking.
08:38You can tell the WWE Universe
08:40is in a downright sanguine-ness mood tonight.
08:43McIntyre and CM Punk unloading.
08:47McIntyre, of course, beat Punk back at SummerSlam.
08:50Punk will return the favor
08:51in the Scrap Magic Bash in Berlin.
08:54The night after that, a couple of nights later,
08:56McIntyre would attack Punk.
08:58He would beat him so viciously.
09:00He would rip off CM Punk's bracelet,
09:02and he would shove the beads into Punk's mouth,
09:05angering Punk to the point that we're here today.
09:08As this match progresses, we'll find out,
09:10did Drew McIntyre do what Punk claimed?
09:13Did McIntyre summon the devil himself?
09:16Or has Drew been successful in clouding Punk's headspace?
09:19Is Punk's psyche all over the place
09:21because he's clouded by rage?
09:23Yeah, but what about McIntyre?
09:25Drew McIntyre said that his wife has become
09:27second best in his heart
09:29due to the hatred that he has for CM Punk.
09:34McIntyre is going for it.
09:35Oh, my goodness.
09:37McIntyre is going for it.
09:38Oh!
09:39Masterfully played his mind games
09:41leading up to this point as Punk's lower back
09:43crashes into the steel in the early moments of this one.
09:46But also, Corey, let's not forget the obsession
09:48that McIntyre has had with Punk
09:50and what Punk has cost McIntyre
09:52on a number of occasions to world championship,
09:55including at WrestleMania.
09:57Punk now blocks and CM Punk drives McIntyre.
10:00McIntyre able to block, however.
10:03Both superstars right now attempting to utilize the cage
10:06like a cheese grater.
10:07We have the opportunity to talk to some of the legends
10:09who've been in Hell in a Cell over the years.
10:11The one thing they will tell you is that to be successful,
10:14oh, you have to use the cell as a weapon.
10:17You have to use it to your advantage.
10:20Tonight, these superstars know that pain is not the enemy.
10:23Pain is the call to greatness.
10:25McIntyre into the steel.
10:30And now CM Punk driving his shoulders
10:33into the ribs of the Scottish warrior.
10:36And again, driving McIntyre into the steel structure.
10:40Here's the aforementioned strategy
10:41of utilizing the cell to your advantage.
10:45You are surrounded by a gigantic weapon.
10:48Punk has said on a number of occasions,
10:50this is not the man that he wants to be.
10:52The man that Drew McIntyre has made him
10:54over the past number of months,
10:56beginning at the Royal Rumble
10:58when McIntyre injured Punk,
10:59crushing the opportunity at WrestleMania.
11:01This may not be the man who CM Punk wants to be,
11:05but this is who CM Punk has been,
11:07who CM Punk is in his heart.
11:09No fear, no hope.
11:11Fight tonight like there's no tomorrow,
11:13because for Punk, there may not be.
11:16And the same goes for McIntyre.
11:18You're absolutely right.
11:20McIntyre said, Punk, you think you're supernatural,
11:23but you're nothing but a man.
11:24And Punk now with a steel chair in hand,
11:26and McIntyre averting disaster
11:29with a boot right to the midsection.
11:31And now with a chair in the spine of Punk.
11:37This will not be a five-star wrestling classic.
11:41That is for sure.
11:43These men want to punish and maim one another.
11:49Limited only by the confines of the cell
11:51and their own imaginations.
11:54Very few men are ever the same
11:57when they walk out of this structure.
11:59This is what makes McIntyre so dangerous, so devastating.
12:03The Scottish warrior is absolutely ruthless
12:06in every sense of the word.
12:09McIntyre now looking for some more weapons.
12:13I mean, you ask a guy like The Undertaker, Corey,
12:16he's been inside this structure 14 times in his career.
12:19Every time he left, he was never the same.
12:22Right in and of itself,
12:24nothing short of miraculous.
12:25I doubt that record will ever be topped.
12:27And McIntyre now looking through a toolbox under the ring,
12:30utilizes the, can strike the ring!
12:32And my God, nearly took Punk's head off with a wrench.
12:35And now CM Punk unloading on McIntyre.
12:40And Punk
12:44using the wrench now,
12:46driving it into the face of McIntyre.
12:49And again, CM Punk knows what he has to do.
12:53This isn't what he wanted,
12:54but this is what Punk will do to win.
12:58And how long can you last?
12:58How deep can you dig?
13:00How long will you be locked in this structure?
13:03Yes, guys like Triple H and Shawn Michaels,
13:05who in 2004 had the longest ever Hell in a Cell match
13:09in over 47 minutes.
13:11Will Punk and McIntyre go longer than that tonight?
13:16And now driving Punk back down to the mat.
13:23Both of these superstars have landed
13:24some seriously heavy artillery in the early moments
13:27of this matchup.
13:29As McIntyre connects with a boot
13:31right to the forehead of CM Punk.
13:35And the official is there,
13:37either count of one, two, three,
13:39or the tap out.
13:43There are no other rules inside Hell in a Cell.
13:45McIntyre just ripped the legs off that table.
13:48And Drew's gonna use those legs as a weapon,
13:51or at least attempt to.
13:55That would have been a disaster.
13:56And now a drop toehold.
13:58Adam's Apple first into the table.
14:00And McIntyre got his hands up as best he could
14:02to protect his throat,
14:04but there was definitely some contact.
14:08And now it's CM Punk with the legs of the table
14:11in his hands, utilizing it as a weapon,
14:14driving it in the face of McIntyre.
14:17And now trying to choke the light from Drew
14:19as he pounds away with the right hand.
14:21And the WWE Universe learning alongside Drew McIntyre
14:25that the inside of CM Punk's head
14:26is a scary, scary place.
14:28The point I was gonna make is,
14:30Corey, you probably know,
14:32oh, CM Punk better than anyone.
14:34You guys were the best of friends a number of years ago.
14:37You've seen Punk.
14:38You've seen the good and the bad side of this man.
14:43But even myself, I don't know what Punk
14:45is truly capable of.
14:47I have never been trapped inside of Hell in a Cell
14:50with CM Punk.
14:51And again, driving McIntyre,
14:53spine and head first into that table.
14:55It has never been a matter of self-preservation
14:57with anybody I've seen step in the ring with CM Punk.
15:00McIntyre has made it abundantly clear.
15:02He wants to end Punk's career,
15:04ruin Punk's life tonight.
15:07Punk looks like he wants to do the same to McIntyre.
15:10And look at trying to drive McIntyre,
15:12his eye into the leg of the table.
15:15McIntyre trying to somehow block and does.
15:18Hey, listen, Punk said,
15:20despite the best efforts of my family
15:22to stop me from going into this matchup,
15:25he goes, I can't afford a Hell in a Cell match
15:27at this point in my career.
15:28But if this means the end of my career,
15:30so be it because I have to end Drew McIntyre.
15:34That just speaks volumes to how deep under the skin
15:37of CM Punk McIntyre has managed to get.
15:40Now Punk with McIntyre up on his shoulders.
15:44If you're thinking about going to sleep,
15:45McIntyre wisely,
15:46Excellent in the world, talking about Hell in a Cell
15:49as we kick off the night tonight
15:51inside this structure with McIntyre and Punk.
15:53Play more, play more, play more by McIntyre.
15:57Driving Punk to the floor.
16:06This is going to be one of those nights.
16:08If nothing else, with this plan,
16:11Drew McIntyre has bought himself some money.
16:14Drew McIntyre has bought himself
16:16some extremely valuable time to recover,
16:18to regain his bearings
16:20and to figure out new ways to torture his opponent.
16:26The CM Punk champs
16:28bringing to the State Farm here in Atlanta.
16:31Sold out over nearly 17,000 on hand here tonight.
16:41Now McIntyre again, looking to use his power.
16:44And now with Punk up, McIntyre,
16:46dropping Punk into the steel.
16:49Face first, ramrodding Punk into the cell.
16:55You know, Corey, we've talked about McIntyre a lot.
16:57He's Terminator-like, the way that he's built.
17:01And now look at the power from McIntyre to Punk.
17:04We've called him a Scottish warrior,
17:06we've called him a Terminator,
17:07but I believe the term psychopath is most apropos tonight.
17:11Hey, you and I both had the opportunity
17:13to talk to Drew earlier today.
17:14He had that deep, faraway look in his eyes,
17:16like I don't even know if he knew what he was talking about.
17:19Well, right now, Drew McIntyre is loving what he's seeing.
17:23CM Punk has begun to bleed
17:26after meeting the steel face first.
17:29And it is what McIntyre promised.
17:31Tonight, these hallowed grounds may very well run red.
17:38This could finish it all.
17:39That's off the head of CM Punk.
17:42Oh, God.
17:47The State Farm Arena,
17:48which sits on the site of the legendary Omni
17:52in downtown Atlanta,
17:53that has seen some of the great battles,
17:56some of the most vicious battles
17:57in the history of wrestling.
18:00And tonight, another chapter added.
18:03McIntyre, Punk in a cell.
18:06Oh, my goodness.
18:14Hatred.
18:17Disdain, disgust.
18:19You're gonna bleed.
18:20And I'm gonna answer, Caridia.
18:22Your wife is gonna need you.
18:25No.
18:27McIntyre reiterating
18:29the deeply insulting comments he made
18:31on Monday Night Raw about Punk's wife.
18:35And now, back to the toolbox.
18:37McIntyre wants to prove to the WWE Universe
18:40that he is a man of his word,
18:41that the Scottish Warrior will be the one responsible
18:44for ending Punk once and for all.
18:46And now, back to the toolbox.
18:47Oh, my God.
18:48He's crushing the wrench, I believe it is,
18:49right into the open wound of CM Punk.
18:52And Punk writhing and screaming in pain.
18:56And look at the sick look on McIntyre's face.
18:59Sadistic, remorseless.
19:01It's only driving and fueling McIntyre.
19:06CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
19:10Punk, a crimson mask,
19:14has fallen over his face.
19:17The best time to see red as a superstar
19:20is when it's coming from your opponent.
19:22And now McIntyre ripping out yet another table
19:27in a match that thus far has been very one-sided.
19:31CM Punk desperately...
19:34I'm not even sure Punk knows where he's at, Corey.
19:36I gotta agree with you.
19:37Sean Bennett's in there keeping an eye on the situation,
19:41checking on Punk, making sure Punk can continue.
19:44But listen, to your point,
19:45I know CM Punk extremely well.
19:47You're gonna have to stop this match
19:49to protect Punk from himself,
19:51because Punk will not quit.
19:52And think about this, Corey.
19:53You throw out the Royal Rumble, right?
19:55This is CM Punk's third match
19:59Drew McIntyre wrestles every single week, almost.
20:02And now Punk's locked inside a cage
20:04against a man who's a psycho.
20:07He's an absolute psychopath, McIntyre,
20:09who's in the best shape of his career,
20:11and now he just wants to do harm.
20:12That's all he wants to do here.
20:14Listen, Cole, you and I are both guilty
20:15of leaning into the romance of this industry.
20:18It's amazing to have CM Punk back in WWE in 2024,
20:22inside hell in itself.
20:23But let's look at the reality of the situation.
20:25Punk has not been competing in the WWE
20:27Punk has not been competing at this level
20:29for quite some time,
20:31particularly not against someone as dangerous
20:33as Drew McIntyre.
20:34Punk might be outgunned tonight.
20:36And you notice the black armband
20:38on the left bicep of McIntyre.
20:40He told us he was wearing that tonight
20:43because this was Punk's funeral.
20:45He was wearing black out of, quote,
20:47respect for CM Punk.
20:50McIntyre also wanted to offer his apologies in advance
20:54for what he does to the straight-edge superstar.
20:57Now Punk, though, looking to rally.
20:59Flashback out of the corner.
21:00There's that patented running knee.
21:02The patented high knee from Punk,
21:04but Punk can't capitalize.
21:05That might have been it, Cole.
21:06That might have been a last gasp from Punk.
21:08CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
21:11CM Punk needs to tap into those energy reserves
21:13if they exist anymore.
21:15Oh, now Punk. Oh, no.
21:17Punk in trouble, trying to hang on.
21:24And now Punk climbing up to the top rope.
21:29Punk takes down McIntyre!
21:35You can see Punk blinking his eyes,
21:37opening them wide as the blood begins to run through.
21:40I don't know, Cole, if you've had blood in your eyes,
21:41you can't see a damn thing.
21:43And if you can't see, you can't fight.
21:45I can only imagine the pain
21:50as Punk now with a...
21:54He has a wrench in his hand.
21:55As he climbs up to the top rope,
21:57Punk gonna use it as a weapon.
21:59McIntyre was able to intercept
22:03and send Punk across the ring with a suplex.
22:13This is awesome!
22:16This is awesome!
22:19This is awesome!
22:20Look at the look on the face of McIntyre.
22:25And a kip-up to rub it in the face of CM Punk,
22:30who, Corey, for much of the last 10 minutes or so,
22:33has looked absolutely helpless and defenseless.
22:36And now McIntyre looks for the kill shot,
22:39and Punk wisely, wisely rolled out of the ring.
22:43That was brilliant.
22:44That is veteran ring awareness from CM Punk.
22:51Punk is physically maimed, exhausted, beaten.
22:57Oh! And a pull-back to the face of McIntyre!
23:01And suddenly, Punk's got a chance!
23:04If nothing else, Punk has some time to compose himself
23:07to try to get his sight back to 100%.
23:11Watch this. Bang!
23:12Right off the face of the...
23:14Oh, no.
23:16And now McIntyre's been cut open.
23:19And now it's McIntyre who's bleeding
23:21and tasting his own blood.
23:23And now CM Punk into the ring, toolbox in hand,
23:26using it as a weapon and unloading on McIntyre.
23:31We're gonna have to break out the Muda Scale pretty soon
23:34as Punk makes the climb to the top turnbuckle,
23:37toolbox in hand.
23:38McIntyre can't see, trying to wipe the blood,
23:41and again, he's taken down!
23:43Blinded, battered, brutalized.
23:48Blinded by blood, blinded by rage, blinded by hate.
23:53These two men destroying each other inside the cell!
24:05And there's the running knee by Punk again.
24:07A little bit more on that one this time.
24:08And now the momentum beginning to build by Punk.
24:10And there's a third to McIntyre.
24:12And now it's McIntyre who's in trouble.
24:19And off the bulldog, Drew McIntyre's on Dream Street!
24:24And I don't know where Punk is getting it,
24:26but he's summoning the energy, summoning the will
24:29to turn the tides inside the cell.
24:36And now Punk calling for the end.
24:41McIntyre struggling somehow to get to his feet,
24:47grabbing the ropes.
24:48Punk now setting up for the go to sleep, the GTS.
24:52McIntyre fighting out, however.
24:58Counters for counters, and back up again, go through!
25:01GTS! Go to sleep!
25:03McIntyre's down, but he rolls out of the ring!
25:08And I don't know if that was wherewithal
25:09or instinct from McIntyre,
25:12but Punk realizes that may have been
25:14his best shot to end this.
25:20Take another look.
25:21Punk hoisting up the massive McIntyre.
25:24Knee directly on the temple.
25:27Drew may have been out,
25:30but McIntyre able to roll under the bottom rope,
25:32and this one rolls on.
25:34This is absolutely incredible.
25:35And seeing Punk, I don't know if you saw a moment ago,
25:37Corey, Punk was laughing.
25:39Punk was laughing at the destruction that's happening here
25:43just feet away from us.
25:51Punk now, McIntyre, oh!
25:53Claymore from out of nowhere!
25:55McIntyre for the win!
25:57Punk to the leg!
25:58Punk still in it!
25:59Punk is still in it!
26:06This is unreal.
26:08McIntyre instinctively now with a Claymore
26:12coming within an eyelash of victory,
26:15but CM Punk survives.
26:25What an incredible match, Corey.
26:29I don't even know if we should call it a match.
26:30I mean, this is a fight.
26:31This is a brawl.
26:34However you describe it,
26:35it is quickly becoming unforgettable.
26:38And McIntyre looking to end it.
26:40And McIntyre once again with Punk in trouble.
26:43McIntyre looking for another Claymore.
26:45Oh, Punk able to move out of harm's way.
26:48And now Punk gonna turn things around.
26:50Punk gonna look for a submission hold here.
26:53Does Punk have it in him to finish it?
26:54And we saw this in Fashion Berlin.
26:57Going for a sharpshooter, I believe, here.
26:59And he's got it in.
27:00And remember, McIntyre tapped.
27:03He tapped in Berlin.
27:04He tapped out of this in Berlin.
27:06If you ask McIntyre, Drew outsmarted Punk in Berlin.
27:09But right now, center of the ring, inside the cell,
27:13McIntyre is counting down the seconds before he submits.
27:17Oh!
27:21Remember, ropes will not break.
27:24And now using a wrench and pounding away
27:27with the wrench to Punk.
27:29And Punk forced to break the hold.
27:31You know, there are medical staff here at ringside, Corey.
27:34They can do nothing to stop this.
27:35All they can do is look on
27:37as McIntyre continues to barbarically brutalize Punk.
27:41McIntyre trying to carve up CM Punk's face
27:44like a jack-o'-lantern.
27:47It is hell on earth, inside hell in a cell
27:51for both Drew McIntyre and CM Punk.
28:01Listen, this is an understandable decision
28:03by Sean Bennett just trying to wipe the blood
28:06out of the eyes of the superstars so that they can continue,
28:09so that they can do their best to protect themselves
28:12from potential catastrophe.
28:14But that's all you can hope for.
28:20And McIntyre's expression changing.
28:23Punk's expression changing as well.
28:29And now Punk with the right hand.
28:32And McIntyre as well.
28:36Punk!
28:43McIntyre, Punk!
28:44McIntyre, Punk!
28:47Old school brawl.
28:49Here we go!
28:49Looking for a future shot.
28:51A future shot, which is what injured Punk in the Rumble.
28:54And now Punk with McIntyre up top,
28:56lands on his feet, and a big chop to Punk.
29:06Kick from Punk, both men down.
29:09Critical moment now in this match
29:13between these warriors, these veterans.
29:18It all began last November,
29:21with the return of CM Punk to WWE at Survivor Series.
29:25And that kicked off a lot of superstars,
29:27including Drew McIntyre, who believed Punk wanted to,
29:30wanted to kill his business.
29:33CM Punk had no business being back in WWE.
29:37The company had varied for a decade.
29:39And that has driven us to tonight,
29:41and the final match in this trilogy
29:44between Punk and McIntyre.
29:46And in some twisted way,
29:47Drew McIntyre feels that he's doing the right thing
29:49by all of WWE, by eliminating Punk once and for all.
29:53And Punk caught him.
29:55The WWE universe certainly doesn't seem to agree,
29:57but you can't tell McIntyre otherwise.
29:59As intense a match as you'll ever see.
30:04McIntyre now, just powering up Punk.
30:07Oh, God. Oh, good God.
30:09Oh, my God! Through the table!
30:11Through the damn table!
30:12Punk ain't getting up.
30:14Punk is gone! Punk is gone!
30:16Punk is gone! Punk is gone!
30:18Punk is gone! Punk is gone!
30:20Punk is gone! Punk is gone!
30:22Punk is gone! Punk is gone!
30:24My God.
30:26First off, it was the power of McIntyre
30:28and then it was this impact.
30:30Both men crashing through the table
30:32and everything they put their bodies through here
30:34in this match, Corey.
30:36And it's difficult to tell who got the worst
30:38of that landing, of the exchange.
30:40Was it McIntyre? Was it Punk?
30:42Drew, obviously the first to stir.
30:45Punk has not moved.
30:49McIntyre must get Punk back in the ring
30:53for a pinfall or a tap-out.
30:56What these two men are putting themselves through tonight.
31:00Cole, you and I have talked all day
31:02about all the history in pro wrestling in Atlanta,
31:05about the last battle of Atlanta
31:07between Tommy Rich and Buzz Sawyer.
31:09This may be setting a whole new standard
31:11of brutality in this business.
31:13And now McIntyre grabbing the steel steps down.
31:17Punk hasn't moved, Corey.
31:19CM Punk has not moved from the ground to the table.
31:21And I don't know if he's gonna start, Cole.
31:23I'm starting to get worried.
31:25Punk is a sitting duck.
31:28These guys are professional.
31:30And McIntyre, he can't even pick up the steps.
31:32They're superstars, but at the end of the day,
31:34they're damn human beings, Cole.
31:37McIntyre gonna try one more time
31:40to lift those very insanely heavy steel steps.
31:44And Drew's right here in front of us, Cole.
31:46Look at the lacerations and the welds on the back
31:48of Drew McIntyre.
31:50And McIntyre doing everything he can
31:52to lift those steel steps up.
31:55McIntyre now climbing one step,
31:57and he's gonna toss...
31:59I have no idea.
32:01McIntyre can't even get the steps in the ring.
32:04His back is absolutely killing him.
32:11McIntyre doing his best to soldier forward
32:14to continue this onslaught on CM Punk.
32:19Thank God Punk's moving.
32:21Yeah, Punk finally, finally able to make it to his knees.
32:25But Punk, he's got to just...
32:27That look in his eyes is almost one of almost defeat, Corey.
32:30It's like, how much more can I put myself through?
32:33But Punk won't accept defeat, Cole.
32:35That's what worries me.
32:36That's why I'm grateful Sean Bennett's in there,
32:38because Punk won't quit until his heart stops
32:40or until the lights go out and Punk can't continue.
32:43And McIntyre now just collapses in the ring.
32:46Both men are down.
32:47And what has been an unbelievably physical match
32:51that has taken an unbelievable toll on both of these men.
32:54Punk, though, with McIntyre up, going to sleep again.
32:58McIntyre down.
32:59Cover for the win.
33:01McIntyre kicked down.
33:02You gotta be kidding me.
33:16I don't have the words.
33:19I do.
33:20Somebody win this damn match and end this brutality.
33:24That's what has to happen here.
33:29The match is continuing.
33:30We know the goal for both superstars was to end the other's career.
33:33The match is still going on.
33:35And I guarantee you both of them are flirting with career-threatening injury.
33:39Yeah, but these are two men that don't need this, Corey.
33:41Everything that comes...
33:42Wait a minute.
33:43McIntyre now.
33:44McIntyre.
33:46Up to the top of the steps.
33:48White noise to Punk.
33:52He may have broken his back.
33:57McIntyre for the win.
33:59And the cover.
34:01Punk is alive.
34:03Punk is alive.
34:05Punk is alive, but I don't think Punk's anywhere close to getting back into this fight, Cole.
34:09Look at this white noise again.
34:11How high on Punk's back he lands.
34:14Listen.
34:16My goodness.
34:17Impact that echoed throughout the State Farm Arena.
34:21And it's getting to the point in this matchup where the WWE Universe is getting uncomfortable, Cole.
34:25It feels uncomfortable in this building right now.
34:28It's like we're witnessing something we're not supposed to be seeing.
34:31And again, Corey, like I said before, these men have accomplished so much in their careers.
34:35Multiple-time world champions.
34:37And none of it means a damn thing if they can't walk out of here on their own power.
34:40Well, we said it before.
34:42This match, when you leave the hell in a cell, you're never the same.
34:45Your body's never the same.
34:47Your career's never the same.
34:51Drew McIntyre with CM Punk on his knees.
35:00Looking for one final blow to take out Punk here tonight at Bad Blood.
35:06Oh, and Punk, no.
35:07Punk looking for the vice.
35:08Punk looking for the anaconda vice.
35:10Middle of the ring.
35:11Punk locking it in.
35:12Submission hold time.
35:13No flow break.
35:14Can Punk get McIntyre to tap?
35:18Punk is clanking with every fiber in his being.
35:23And McIntyre, wrench in hand.
35:28And Punk intercepts it.
35:30And now Punk using the wrench.
35:32Banging, banging, banging to face McIntyre.
35:36McIntyre begging.
35:55McIntyre pleading.
35:58And a low blow.
36:00The referee can do nothing about it.
36:04And that was apropos because remember what Punk did to McIntyre to cost him
36:10the world title.
36:12A low blow as an official in a referee shirt.
36:19Punk took just a moment.
36:22Perhaps Punk was savoring on the fact he was delivering on his promise that
36:26McIntyre would pray to CM Punk tonight.
36:29But the Scottish warrior had other plans and went low.
36:33And McIntyre now.
36:36What on earth?
36:40And McIntyre now.
36:43What on earth?
36:46And McIntyre now.
36:49And McIntyre now.
36:52And McIntyre now.
36:55And McIntyre now.
36:58And McIntyre now.
37:01And McIntyre now.
37:04And McIntyre now.
37:13One can only imagine.
37:23Got to watch this baseball.
37:25Magic.
37:26Oh my goodness.
37:28The ultimate effort for McIntyre to Punk.
37:31The plastic beads, the kind of beads that the bracelet that meant so much to Sia Puff were made of,
37:38threw McIntyre, symbolically pouring it all over the head of Puff.
37:44Oh my God! Oh my God! McIntyre! McIntyre there broke his back!
37:55McIntyre's spine burst into the steps!
38:02Puff's got a chain!
38:06Wrapping a chain around his knee!
38:09How can McIntyre even function?
38:12What the hell is Puff even thinking?
38:22Has McIntyre let his personal feelings get in the way of finishing the job?
38:31He got a little too cute at the end, and it cost him.
38:35And now CM Puff looking to put McIntyre away.
38:39You don't mess with a man's family.
38:42Remember what McIntyre did to Puff a couple of nights after bashing Berlin?
38:47When he ripped the bracelet off Puff's wrist, and now Puff paying back the favor,
38:51shoving the beads down his throat!
38:55Go to sleep! To the chain!
39:00Cover!
39:02CM Puff survives! Hell!
39:07Here is your winner, CM Puff!
39:15Puff's prediction comes true.
39:20McIntyre on his knees!
39:23Not praying to God, not praying to Satan,
39:27but praying to one CM Puff!
39:42Look at the match.
39:44It looks like a crime scene.
39:49Let's relive a few of the most brutal moments.
39:55First, a claymore from Drew McIntyre putting CM Puff down.
40:00Surely, in the end, Puff disagreed.
40:04And then this.
40:06I don't believe Puff moved for about three or four minutes
40:09after he went through the table.
40:12And this is where Drew got caught.
40:16You don't mess with a man's family.
40:19Not his wife, not even his dog.
40:22And you only have yourself to blame, Drew McIntyre.
40:26Spine first on the steel.
40:28CM Puff with payback of his own
40:32before an epic, cathartic
40:35GPS!
40:38Go to sleep, Drew McIntyre!
40:42Go to sleep, Drew McIntyre!
40:53Tonight in the Devil's Playground,
40:55there's only room for one bully.
40:58CM Puff!
41:02CM Puff said,
41:04I'm going to war.
41:07Why?
41:08Because the devil told me to.
41:33Ever the rebel.
41:37Ever the controversial warrior.
41:45Tonight, the Second City Saint
41:49is the Second City Devil.
41:56Let's take another look at these closing moments again.
41:59First, the symbolic beads being stumped down
42:03the gullet of Drew McIntyre
42:06before CM Puff delivers a final
42:09go to sleep with a chain-wrapped knee
42:16to finally exhaust the energy
42:20of the Scottish psychopath.
42:24Go to sleep, Drew McIntyre!
42:28Go to sleep, Drew McIntyre!
42:32The symbolic slamming on the door
42:36on what has been an incredible trilogy.
42:40Go to sleep, Drew McIntyre!
42:43Go to sleep, Drew McIntyre!
42:45Both men, oh, CM Puff can't even stand.
42:48Puff collapsing in the aisleway
42:51from the exhaustion, the physicality,
42:54the loss of Floyd in this match.
42:56And I understand how proud of a human being CM Puff is.
43:00Dammit, Phil, let them help you.
43:03You just put your life, your body on the line,
43:06and you won.
43:08General Manager Adam Pearce is out there
43:11along with other officials and EMTs.
43:14Puff, always a proud man,
43:16wants to desperately walk back to the locker room.
43:22Go, go, go!
43:36And if you're Drew McIntyre,
43:38Cole, what would you possibly be thinking right now
43:41after 10 months of poking the bees' nests?
43:47You finally got your comeuppance.
43:50Now what? Punk being administered oxygen now after that match-up, the
43:57disappointment that McIntyre must be feeling, and never mind the mental
44:03anguish, how about the physical pain? Both of these superstars' bodies
44:08undoubtedly wrapped with agony.
44:14And I don't know if you caught that, Cole. You know who Punk wants in this moment.
44:21He asks for his wife.
44:24That's what this is all about.
