00:01:08Start your one month free trial at www.network.com.
00:01:12The following contest is a six woman tag team match to the 4-1-4.
00:01:18Introducing first, Liv Morton, Sarah Logan, and Ruby Riott,
00:01:24The Riott Squad.
00:01:27The following contest is a six woman tag team match to the 4-1-4.
00:01:33Introducing first, Liv Morton, Sarah Logan, and Ruby Riott,
00:01:39The Riott Squad.
00:01:41A very confident Riott Squad tonight heading into this six woman tag team matchup,
00:01:46and why not?
00:01:47Ruby Riott this past week on Monday Night Raw took Roundup Rousey to a limit.
00:01:52Even Ronda Rousey was talking about how impressed she was with Ruby Riott.
00:01:56Ruby Riott has worked her entire career to get here,
00:01:59to get in front of the bright lights of WWE.
00:02:02The Riott Squad all feel that this is their moment to really show the world who they are.
00:02:06She got bonded for life this past week here in Melbourne.
00:02:10Nikki and Brie, the Bella Twins.
00:02:15The Riott Squad got some tattoos.
00:02:1711, 21, 17.
00:02:19What did they give you here at WWE?
00:02:22Well, for the Bella Twins' birthday, FYI.
00:02:24It's not their birthday.
00:02:26Okay.
00:02:39Here's your next contender.
00:02:42She is the Raw Women's Champion,
00:02:46the baddest woman on the planet,
00:02:49Ronda Rousey!
00:02:55A very emotional Ronda Rousey,
00:02:57not only tonight, but this entire week here in Australia.
00:03:00Well, tonight is so important for Ronda,
00:03:03as she's looking for redemption.
00:03:05It was this city, Melbourne, Australia,
00:03:07where her career truly came to a crossroads.
00:03:10Her undefeated streak at Mixed Martial Arts was snapped.
00:03:13Tonight, Ronda looks to redefine herself.
00:03:18It's your team tonight, the Nikki and Brie,
00:03:20the Bella Twins against the Riott Squad.
00:03:26Ronda Rousey, when asked about Ruby Riott,
00:03:29did say that, I'm going to slap the taste out of her mouth tonight.
00:03:33After what Ruby did to Ronda last week with that fish hook,
00:03:38I'm sure Ronda Rousey's going to put a boot down
00:03:40on the entire Riott Squad tonight.
00:03:42Ruby certainly wasn't afraid to take it to the street last week.
00:03:45I'm sure the Riott Squad,
00:03:47Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan are going to follow suit.
00:03:49I talked to Ruby earlier today.
00:03:51She promised tonight was just going to be another nightmare
00:03:54in Melbourne for Miss Rousey.
00:03:56However, what a reception.
00:04:01We're at the Melbourne Cricket Ground
00:04:03for the Raw Women's Champion, Ronda Rousey.
00:04:16Rousey and the Bellas certainly look confident,
00:04:19enjoying the sights and sounds of Melbourne for the past few days.
00:04:23The Riott Squad has been all business.
00:04:26It's seen in the eyes of Logan, Morgan and Riott.
00:04:30No smiles.
00:04:31No smiles from Ronda Rousey's camp either right now.
00:04:34Rousey and the Bellas have had their issues with the Riott Squad
00:04:37over the past number of weeks.
00:04:49A bit of confusion here.
00:04:50It's just a discussion over who's going to begin this match
00:04:53and it appears as Nikki Bella and Ruby Riott
00:04:55taking advantage with an attack from behind.
00:04:57I understand this.
00:04:58I think obviously when it comes to experience,
00:05:00Nikki Bella has far more experience than Ronda Rousey.
00:05:05Nikki a two-time women's champion.
00:05:08Oh, and a big-time clothesline.
00:05:10Clothesline takes Ruby Riott down and a nice dropkick by Nikki Bella.
00:05:15The Bella twins saying that it's a magical couple of days in Melbourne.
00:05:19Yeah, they were out checking out some of the vineyards,
00:05:22checking out some stuff for their wine line, Belradici.
00:05:25They've got a lot going on, checking out the hot springs.
00:05:28Now is no time to reminisce about the hot springs or wine country.
00:05:31You need to focus on the Riott Squad.
00:05:33The three incredibly dangerous young ladies.
00:05:36Face first off for Nikki Bella with a shoulder tackle takes down Ruby Riott.
00:05:49Nice reversal by Nikki.
00:05:50Spinebuster plants Ruby.
00:05:52Here's a cover by Bella.
00:05:53This thing can be over quickly and a kickout by Riott.
00:05:57Ronda Rousey cannot wait to get in this match.
00:06:01Tag made.
00:06:02Here comes Nikki's sister, Brie.
00:06:04Of course, you're going to understand that.
00:06:05Naturally, Nikki and Brie are going to gravitate toward one another.
00:06:08They've teamed together.
00:06:09Cover by Brie.
00:06:10Kickout by Ruby Riott.
00:06:11Their entire lives, it's only natural to go with what you know.
00:06:15Brie, a former women's champion.
00:06:17Roll up by Ruby.
00:06:18Looks for the win.
00:06:19Kickout by Brie Bella.
00:06:23Face first.
00:06:25And Ruby looking to win this match.
00:06:27Is it enough in a near fall?
00:06:29Brie Bella's husband, Daniel Bryan, in a matchup later tonight against the Miz with a lot at stake.
00:06:36Future WWE Championship opportunity.
00:06:38And here comes Liv Morgan.
00:06:42What a kick.
00:06:43That may be it.
00:06:44Both legs hooked in a near fall.
00:06:46I talked to Liv earlier today.
00:06:47She just said, keep your eyes open.
00:06:50I got a little something for Brie Bella.
00:06:52She wouldn't say any more than that, but I'm curious to see.
00:06:55Remember, a couple of weeks ago on Raw, a couple of kicks by Brie Bella.
00:07:01No!
00:07:02No!
00:07:03You can't do that!
00:07:06Brie's doing it.
00:07:07Liv made her pay with her right hand.
00:07:10Liv has not forgotten.
00:07:11She was knocked out by Brie Bella a couple of weeks ago.
00:07:14Nice drop kick by Brie.
00:07:15Liv Morgan called this, Renee, tonight the biggest match in the career of the Riott Squad.
00:07:20Hands down, for them to walk in here in Melbourne, Australia,
00:07:23and have this giant showcasing in front of 70,000 plus members of the WWE Universe,
00:07:29the spotlight is on them all.
00:07:30Cover here by Brie.
00:07:31Kick out by Liv.
00:07:34They want to put their mark on the women's division in all of WWE.
00:07:38This is a great place to do that.
00:07:39And tag made to Nikki.
00:07:42Land a decisive victory over the Bella twins, two of the most successful women ever.
00:07:47Nice double team in WWE and Ronda Rousey.
00:07:50Is it enough for Nikki to pin Liv here?
00:07:52And a kick out by Morgan.
00:07:53One of the biggest stars in the entire world.
00:07:56That, of course, is going to put the Riott Squad on the map in a big time way.
00:08:02This is a global pay-per-view event.
00:08:04People all around the world are watching right now.
00:08:07And Sarah Logan, the Viking, with a running knee, now legal.
00:08:13Cover for the Riott Squad victory here.
00:08:15And a kick out at two.
00:08:17Liv Morgan, definitely one of the most unique women in the locker room with her Viking training.
00:08:22Grew up in the mountains.
00:08:24Sarah Logan, completely unorthodox when it comes to in-ring style.
00:08:28You can take a look.
00:08:30Nothing fancy about that.
00:08:31Just run fast, knee hard.
00:08:34Sarah Logan fights with a group called the Jomsborg.
00:08:40What is that?
00:08:41It's a Viking group.
00:08:45She wears the Jomsborg cross on her ear.
00:08:51Which she makes a lot of on her own.
00:08:52Yes, indeed.
00:08:53And their motto is, one shield, one brotherhood.
00:08:56She was actually just in Australia the week ago, I think.
00:09:00One shield.
00:09:01And here comes the self-proclaimed juvenile delinquent, Liv Morgan.
00:09:04Cover.
00:09:05Both legs hook near fall again for the Riott Squad.
00:09:08What a problem child.
00:09:09One shield, one brotherhood.
00:09:10That actually, that mentality sort of adapts and fits when it comes to the Riott Squad.
00:09:14You find unity through mutiny.
00:09:18Yeah, they love raising hell.
00:09:20And they've done so since bursting on the scene here in WWE.
00:09:25We've got the Bella twins that are obviously on the same page all the time.
00:09:29Grew up from the same womb to where they are today.
00:09:31But you look at the Riott Squad.
00:09:33I've never seen three women come together and be on the same page as much as they are.
00:09:37I mean, they all look, both Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan look up to Ruby Riott so much.
00:09:42Well, and the thing is, in a weird way, you can almost draw a comparison here.
00:09:45A trio we're going to see later on tonight, that being The Shield.
00:09:48They burst onto the scene together as a united front.
00:09:51There was strength in numbers.
00:09:53It's all about trust and bond and working as a cohesive unit.
00:09:56And you can see how confident they are each and every week.
00:10:03And here comes Ruby Riott.
00:10:06One of the most dangerous superstars in WWE today.
00:10:11Smash mouth style.
00:10:13Ruby had a world of experience before she ever stepped in the doors of WWE.
00:10:17Honed her craft, learned all sorts of different styles.
00:10:20Which is why she's fared so well in such a short period of time here in WWE.
00:10:24She looked unbelievable last week against Ronda Rousey.
00:10:27Is it enough here in a near fall?
00:10:29She didn't walk away with a victory last week, but she definitely put on a showcase.
00:10:32And you're right, but in Ruby Riott's mind, she's not happy without the victory.
00:10:37Sure, she put on a great display.
00:10:39Sure, she got a lot of the WWE universe talking about how talented she is.
00:10:42But Ruby Riott wants to win at all costs.
00:10:45Well, she says she wants to be the Raw Women's Champion.
00:10:47To prove, myself and her words, that you can come from nothing and have everything.
00:10:52That I've earned it.
00:10:54Because no doors were open for me.
00:10:56I kicked them down myself.
00:10:59I definitely wouldn't want to be somebody between Ruby Riott and one of her goals.
00:11:05And now Sarah Logan.
00:11:07When it would be if Logan could knock off Nikki Bella.
00:11:11Perhaps it's right now.
00:11:13And a kick out by Nikki at two.
00:11:16A lot of people have been discussing, when it comes to potential.
00:11:19Sarah Logan may hold.
00:11:21Roll up.
00:11:22Almost stole one there.
00:11:24Sarah Logan may have the most potential of anybody in the Riott Squad.
00:11:27She's, I believe, the youngest of the...
00:11:30Cover here.
00:11:31By Logan, yet again.
00:11:32And a kick out.
00:11:33I believe Morgan is the youngest.
00:11:34Sarah Logan has not quite as much time in the ring as a Ruby Riott.
00:11:38But Sarah Logan has all the potential in the world to make big time waves in the women's division.
00:11:45And Logan continues to wear down Nikki Bella.
00:11:48We have not seen Ronda Rousey, the Raw Women's Champion, in this matchup as of yet.
00:11:53And I'm sure that's by design on behalf of the Riott Squad.
00:11:56You want to keep Ronda out of the ring as long as possible.
00:12:05Nikki trying her best to fight her way back into this.
00:12:08Elbows to the midsection of Logan.
00:12:10Ronda Rousey is itching to get inside this ring tonight.
00:12:14Sarah just uncorked a forearm.
00:12:16Dropped Nikki.
00:12:20Now Ruby Riott knocked off the apron.
00:12:22Nikki fighting back.
00:12:24Enziguri off the second rope.
00:12:26And Logan's down.
00:12:27Nikki's down as well.
00:12:28And can she make the tag?
00:12:31Ruby.
00:12:33Oh, and Morgan.
00:12:34Couple of cheap shots by the Riott Squad.
00:12:36Nikki Bella's left on her own.
00:12:38Ronda back up on the apron.
00:12:42Ronda yelling, tag me in, tag me in.
00:12:46Gonna get her wish.
00:12:47Here it comes.
00:12:48Wowie.
00:12:49Ronda Rousey.
00:12:52Oh my goodness.
00:12:54Logan's just mercilessly being whipped around by the arm.
00:12:58And again.
00:12:59Oh my God.
00:13:00Ronda Rousey who just wears people out.
00:13:02The hip throws, the sweeps, the strikes, the submissions.
00:13:09Every week she gets better.
00:13:11More and more seamless.
00:13:12More fueled by the rage.
00:13:15Just like that.
00:13:18Tag me in now.
00:13:20And Sarah Logan better cover up.
00:13:22Because here comes Rousey.
00:13:26Rousey treating Logan like a heavy bag.
00:13:32Oh.
00:13:36And the Bella twins gonna fight off the rest of the Riott Squad.
00:13:42Oh no.
00:13:43Oh my God.
00:13:45Bri hit the post hard.
00:13:48Oh, did you hear that?
00:13:50Nikki trying to fight off Ruby Riott.
00:13:52Down goes Ruby.
00:13:53Ronda meanwhile.
00:13:55Dragging Logan back center of the ring.
00:13:57This doesn't bode well.
00:13:58I don't know where she wants her.
00:13:59Morgan though from behind.
00:14:02Big time save from Liv Morgan.
00:14:08Certainly just saved Sarah Logan's arm for the time being.
00:14:12This does not bode well for the Raw Women's Champion.
00:14:14Ronda is outnumbered.
00:14:19The Bellas have been taken out.
00:14:23Two on one attack.
00:14:25This could be the Riott Squad's moment.
00:14:27Uh oh.
00:14:36Are you kidding me?
00:14:42Come on.
00:14:44She's not.
00:14:45No, she is.
00:14:46No way.
00:14:47She is?
00:14:48Are you kidding me?
00:14:49This is impossible.
00:14:50Oh my God.
00:14:56Everybody bow down to the Bellas.
00:15:07How incredible was that?
00:15:08That was absolutely surreal.
00:15:10I have never seen anything like that in my entire life.
00:15:13Ronda Rousey taking down and submitting two women at the same time
00:15:18with a double stacked arm bar.
00:15:20That was nuts.
00:15:21That was submission magic.
00:15:31The improbable became possible.
00:15:34Rousey whipping both Morgan and Logan over at the same time
00:15:37and then check this out.
00:15:39This is insane.
00:15:43Double arm bar applied.
00:15:47Morgan and Logan simultaneously tapping out.
00:15:50What a matchup.
00:15:51What a performance for the Raw Women's Champion and the Bella Twins.
00:16:02Ronda Rousey all smiles tonight.
00:16:05Unbelievable.
00:16:06What a performance.
00:16:07Ron and the Bella Twins with a victory here tonight at Super Showdown.
00:16:38If you keep moving, we die.
00:16:43Grab a gun.
00:16:44Let's finish this.
00:16:53I think it's this way.
00:16:58Je pense que c'est ça.
00:17:00And it's definitely this way.
00:17:04It's that way.
00:17:06I am loving this way.
00:17:16I think this might be it.
00:17:20This is amazing.
00:17:24I'm telling you, if you ever get the opportunity, you have to visit Melbourne, Australia.
00:17:28This beautiful shot taken a bit earlier today.
00:17:31An incredible downtown area.
00:17:33And we are at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
00:17:35You can see it there in the background.
00:17:38It is a world-famous stadium.
00:17:42And tonight,
00:17:4570,309 WWE fans have packed inside.
00:17:51This place is so big, guys,
00:17:53that if you walk the outer ring of the upper deck of this stadium,
00:17:57it's one mile.
00:18:00I got locked outside last night.
00:18:01I couldn't believe how many steps I got on my pedometer.
00:18:04Yeah, you were late for a meeting, I heard.
00:18:09Again, thank you to all the WWE fans who came to the Melbourne Cricket Ground here tonight.
00:18:14Capacity crowd for WWE Super Showdown.
00:18:19The following contest is for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.
00:18:25Introducing first from Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing 215 pounds,
00:18:30he is the WWE Cruiserweight Champion,
00:18:35Cedric Alexander.
00:18:39Talk about winning streaks.
00:18:40Yeah.
00:18:42Unbelievable.
00:18:43For him to never be pinned in all of 2018,
00:18:46over a year for him, it's unbelievable.
00:18:49We just heard JoJo announce at 205 pounds
00:18:52that Cedric Alexander actually weighed 250 pounds
00:18:55when he first heard about the Cruiserweight division being re-established here.
00:18:59His opponent, weighing in at 203 pounds,
00:19:03from Melbourne,
00:19:06Cedric Alexander has certainly earned his place
00:19:10atop the Cruiserweight division,
00:19:12but the same can be said for this man,
00:19:16the juggernaut of the Cruiserweight division,
00:19:19Buddy Murphy, a man who has adapted
00:19:22and evolved and redefined himself
00:19:25as a man of the Cruiserweight division.
00:19:28He's a man of the Cruiserweight division.
00:19:31He's a man who has adapted and evolved and redefined himself
00:19:35to be part of the 205 Live division.
00:19:40Main event Murphy.
00:19:42It is a home game for Buddy Murphy,
00:19:46born and raised right here in Melbourne, Australia.
00:19:51In fact, when he won the NXT Tag Team Championship,
00:19:54he became the first Australian to hold the WWE title.
00:20:00But tonight, he wants the Cruiserweight championship.
00:20:03To that exact point, Michael Cole,
00:20:05Buddy Murphy tasted success as a heavier competitor,
00:20:08as a Tag Team competitor,
00:20:10but Murphy knew that he could dominate,
00:20:13not just succeed in the Cruiserweight division,
00:20:16but dominate, and the best kept secret
00:20:18has taught the world his name.
00:20:22Both of these men,
00:20:24in order to compete on 205 Live today,
00:20:27an incredible amount of weight.
00:20:30Cedric Alexander
00:20:33and Buddy Murphy.
00:20:35And what a reception
00:20:37for the challenger, Buddy Murphy, here tonight.
00:20:40You gotta imagine that's getting in the head
00:20:42of Cedric Alexander tonight.
00:20:48Enjoy the moment, Buddy Murphy,
00:20:50but don't get lost in it,
00:20:52because you have to remember,
00:20:54Cedric Alexander actually became
00:20:56WWE Cruiserweight champion at WrestleMania.
00:20:59Cedric has been to the big stage.
00:21:01This is Buddy's first exposure to this sort of situation.
00:21:05Cedric Alexander thrives in these situations.
00:21:07He's got that pride in the heart
00:21:10of the entire Cruiserweight division on his shoulder,
00:21:12and he does not take that lightly.
00:21:14Let's not forget that Buddy Murphy did battle
00:21:16Cedric Alexander earlier this year
00:21:18for a Cruiserweight championship opportunity,
00:21:20but Murphy says he's matured.
00:21:22He's grown since then,
00:21:24and tonight he will feed off the hometown crowd
00:21:26against Alexander.
00:21:29The last time these two competed against one another
00:21:31was in Cedric Alexander's hometown
00:21:33of Southern North Carolina.
00:21:36Mom was right in front row for that one.
00:21:39Disrespect shown for the champion.
00:21:42Oh!
00:21:43Just like that to win the title on Alexander!
00:21:46And a kick out at two!
00:21:48An explosive knee by Murphy
00:21:50almost fell the champion,
00:21:52and Alexander may be out.
00:21:54Could you imagine if Murphy would have dethroned
00:21:56Cedric Alexander that quick?
00:21:58There would be a parade going on
00:22:00in hours down the streets in Melbourne.
00:22:02He might do it right here.
00:22:04Buddy Murphy on the top rope,
00:22:06and Alexander ever the wise champion.
00:22:08But Murphy gonna fly.
00:22:10Oh!
00:22:11Oh my God!
00:22:13And Alexander taken out,
00:22:15and Murphy on fire.
00:22:17The height and distance he just reached
00:22:19was unbelievable.
00:22:21Buddy Murphy certainly all fired up right now.
00:22:23Can he focus the energy?
00:22:25It looks like he can.
00:22:26Back to the top rope again.
00:22:28Alexander halfway across the ring.
00:22:30Murphy, oh!
00:22:31And a double knee is a meteora
00:22:33off the top rope by Murphy.
00:22:34Here's the cover on Alexander
00:22:36for the title and a kick out again.
00:22:38Buddy Murphy looks like he's walking out of here
00:22:40without the Cruiserweight Championship.
00:22:42Murphy certainly swinging for the fences
00:22:44in the early moments of this matchup,
00:22:46risking everything to take home everything.
00:22:49Here's the guy, Buddy Murphy,
00:22:51who bungee jumps.
00:22:53He rock climbs.
00:22:54He swims with the great whales.
00:22:56He knows what it's like to take high risks,
00:22:58and that's what he's doing here tonight.
00:23:00And now he's punishing the champion
00:23:02in complete control of the man
00:23:04who's not lost this entire year,
00:23:06Cedric Alexander.
00:23:08Cover again by Murphy.
00:23:09Cover.
00:23:10Hook to the leg.
00:23:11Kick out.
00:23:12Almost had him.
00:23:17Murphy now wisely stepping back,
00:23:19surveying the situation,
00:23:20trying to figure out what to do next.
00:23:22Buddy knows just how dangerous Cedric is.
00:23:24If you make one mistake, Cedric will make you pay!
00:23:27Right there, just like that, on cue.
00:23:30Alexander with a kick.
00:23:32Very proud champion.
00:23:34Corey mentioned tonight,
00:23:35Alexander won the title at WrestleMania
00:23:37against Mustafa Ali.
00:23:38He defended successfully at SummerSlam.
00:23:41And now Alexander looks to do so tonight
00:23:43at Super Showdown.
00:23:45Buddy Murphy caught him.
00:23:46Sleeper hold, center of the ring.
00:23:48Talk about slowing down the pace
00:23:50after what was a frantic start.
00:23:52And now Murphy looking to fade Alexander away
00:23:57and bring the Cruiserweight Championship to his waist.
00:24:02Smart strategy.
00:24:04As we just saw, Cedric's a very dangerous striker,
00:24:06very proficient technician.
00:24:08Buddy keeping him in close quarters
00:24:10is not a bad idea.
00:24:15Rene, you mentioned just the tremendous guts
00:24:18and the resilience that Alexander has shown as champion.
00:24:21Oh!
00:24:22He does not take that honor very lightly.
00:24:24I mean, he grew up enamored with WCW,
00:24:28loving Juventud Guerrero, Rey Mysterio,
00:24:30Dean Malenko, Billy Kidman.
00:24:32So for him to be able to be the Cruiserweight Champion
00:24:35and hold that honor for such a long time,
00:24:37there's no way he's going down without a fight tonight.
00:24:40What is Buddy Murphy thinking about here?
00:24:45Cedric propped up in the corner.
00:24:47Oh!
00:24:48Alexander caught him with a kick right to the face.
00:24:52And this buys the champion Alexander time to regroup.
00:24:56I don't know if Buddy Murphy's teeth have landed yet.
00:24:59What a super kick by the champion.
00:25:06Cedric absolutely rocked Murphy.
00:25:11Now can Alexander capitalize?
00:25:13We know...
00:25:14Oh, man!
00:25:15Big right from Murphy.
00:25:16We know Cedric's gonna be looking for that lumbar check maneuver
00:25:19that's brought him so much success.
00:25:21An insane modified backbreaker.
00:25:28And let's go Buddy chants
00:25:30ringing through the Melbourne cricket ground.
00:25:33And also extra unfamiliar territory for Cedric,
00:25:36who's usually a very wildly popular competitor
00:25:38amongst the WWE Universe.
00:25:40But now, without the home field advantage,
00:25:42it changes a lot.
00:25:45There's no way that can't get...
00:25:46Oh!
00:25:47Oh, my God!
00:25:48Michinoku driver from the top.
00:25:50Incredible!
00:25:51Alexander retained the title.
00:25:52Is it enough?
00:25:53Almost had him.
00:25:54What an incredible Michinoku driver for Cedric Alexander.
00:26:00Buddy Murphy went to the well once too often,
00:26:03intent on delivering some offense of his own.
00:26:06Cedric able to adapt.
00:26:08Watch this.
00:26:09And drive the hometown hero all the way.
00:26:12Murphy was on offense.
00:26:14Alexander turned it around.
00:26:16Watch the impact.
00:26:19A jarring landing for both superstars.
00:26:22Consider the impact of the spine, tailbone of Cedric.
00:26:26This is what the action on 205 Live is all about.
00:26:29The Cruiserweight division in WWE.
00:26:32The hype is real.
00:26:34Oh, Buddy.
00:26:35Murphy.
00:26:36Flatliner.
00:26:37Buddy doing a wise thing.
00:26:38Rolling to the outside.
00:26:39Composed himself as best as possible.
00:26:41And now Cedric Alexander going to launch himself over the top rope.
00:26:45And Murphy take it out.
00:26:48And now it's all Cedric Alexander.
00:26:55Cedric has worn the Cruiserweight championship so proudly.
00:26:58He's not going to relinquish it on a stage this big.
00:27:01The title means everything to Alexander.
00:27:04So much so, he's willing to risk his own well-being to topple Buddy Murphy.
00:27:09We are in the age of Alexander.
00:27:13Murphy caught him though.
00:27:15Nice standing switch by Cedric Alexander.
00:27:19Oh!
00:27:20Kick right to the face.
00:27:21Again, Alexander looks to retain on Murphy.
00:27:24And Murphy powers out.
00:27:25Everything.
00:27:26Both of these superstars has thrown at one another tonight.
00:27:29Has been so incredibly intense.
00:27:31So high impact.
00:27:33What is it going to take for someone to emerge victorious?
00:27:42Alexander trying to figure out what do I need to do to put Murphy away.
00:27:47To this very point, I will commend Cedric for seemingly not letting the WWE Universe get in his head.
00:27:53He's weathered the early storm.
00:27:55The onslaught that Buddy Murphy threw at him.
00:27:57And has come very close to retaining several times.
00:28:00Yeah, Buddy came out of the blocks emotional.
00:28:02And Cedric Alexander was able to survive that.
00:28:05Now he's got to figure out how to put Murphy away.
00:28:12Cedric could be looking for the lumbar check.
00:28:16Oh!
00:28:17Man!
00:28:18Impact.
00:28:19Now, Alexander with a running uppercut.
00:28:23Buddy is dazed on the top rope.
00:28:25That is not where you want to be when you're in a match with Cedric Alexander.
00:28:28Because the champion will make you pay.
00:28:36Cedric Alexander, to your point, Corey, earlier was able to not pay attention to this crowd.
00:28:41But perhaps it's getting to him now.
00:28:42It's the first time Cedric's really acknowledged the crowd.
00:28:46Start to get a little rattled.
00:28:51Buddy trying to fight off the champion.
00:28:53The champion.
00:28:58Able to do so momentarily.
00:29:03There's Buddy looking here.
00:29:04Sunset flip.
00:29:05Cedric holding on for dear life.
00:29:08Buddy Murphy, though, able to get out of that predicament.
00:29:11Kicked him right in the face.
00:29:12And now...
00:29:13Shit out power palm!
00:29:14Is it enough to win the championship?
00:29:16Here is Melbourne and a kick out at two by Cedric Alexander.
00:29:23Cedric has no idea where he is right now.
00:29:25Buddy Murphy, highly emotional with a great series of maneuvers.
00:29:30The power bomb was delivered perfectly.
00:29:33It's almost as if Buddy got a little carried away and let his leg slip off of the shoulder of the champion.
00:29:40Buddy was so fired up, so certain he was about to become Cruiserweight champion.
00:29:45It could have cost him.
00:29:48Take a look at this.
00:29:4970,000 plus fans.
00:29:53Witnessing their hometown guy, Buddy Murphy, compete for the biggest prize in the Cruiserweight division.
00:30:01Yeah, against one of the most resilient athletes you'll ever see.
00:30:04The Cruiserweight champion, Cedric Alexander.
00:30:07With that step up inziguri.
00:30:11Looks to take control of the match.
00:30:13Buddy hanging on.
00:30:17Alexander's...
00:30:18There's the knee again!
00:30:20The way he started the match.
00:30:22Could be the way he ends it.
00:30:23Buddy Murphy, rolled through by Alexander.
00:30:26Shoulders are down.
00:30:27Almost had him.
00:30:30Oh my god!
00:30:32To retain the title.
00:30:34Murphy kicks out.
00:30:36Alexander again looking for the lumbar check.
00:30:38Here it is!
00:30:39There it is!
00:30:40Lumbar check to Murphy.
00:30:42Up for the leg.
00:30:43To retain.
00:30:44Murphy kicked out of the lumbar check.
00:30:46And Alexander can't believe it.
00:30:49The look on his face.
00:30:52I can't believe it!
00:30:55First a standing Spanish fly, expertly delivered by Alexander.
00:31:01And then the trademark, the lumbar check, hits perfectly.
00:31:06But somehow, Murphy stays in the fight.
00:31:14An incredible reaction from the hometown crowd when Murphy kicked out of the lumbar check.
00:31:20Now Alexander's gotta be saying, what do I do?
00:31:23I've hit Murphy with everything in my arsenal.
00:31:26I'll tell you what you do.
00:31:27You hit it again.
00:31:28You hit it.
00:31:30Alexander lands on the apron.
00:31:32Murphy, I think, believes Alexander went out to the floor.
00:31:35I think Murphy's still feeling the effects of the lumbar check amongst others.
00:31:39Murphy caught him.
00:31:41Caught Alexander with the knee.
00:31:42Murphy now looks to put Alexander away.
00:31:45Is it enough for Murphy to win the title?
00:31:47Shoulders are down!
00:31:48Shoulders are down!
00:31:49Buddy Murphy is the Cruiserweight Champion!
00:31:54Here is your winner and the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion, Buddy Murphy!
00:32:03The emotion in the ring right now is so, I've got goosebumps.
00:32:07This is unbelievable.
00:32:08The emotion in the entire stadium.
00:32:12The party is underway in Melbourne.
00:32:16The hometown boy!
00:32:18That's good!
00:32:20Buddy Murphy is your Cruiserweight Champion!
00:32:24Buddy Murphy changed his life.
00:32:26Changed his career with one goal.
00:32:29To come to the Cruiserweight division and make it to the top of the mountain.
00:32:34He fancied himself the best kept secret in WWE.
00:32:38And now, beyond Melbourne, beyond Australia, the entire world knows the name.
00:32:44Buddy Murphy!
00:32:54Let's look at some of this fast-paced action.
00:32:57Murphy connecting with a knee.
00:33:00Pump handle driver takes down Cedric.
00:33:07And there's nothing we can say that sounds any sweeter than 70,000 losing their mind.
00:33:15What a night for Buddy Murphy in the hype of the Cruiserweight division of 205 Live is real.
00:33:24There is a new king at 205 Live.
00:33:28And his name is Buddy Murphy.
00:33:45Let's go!
00:34:00You guys won!
00:34:03Nia is all in for matchmaking.
00:34:05Paige's dating life hasn't been the best.
00:34:08So I set her up on a date with my brother.
00:34:10The last thing I want is anyone to be pushing me into something.
00:34:14Total Divas, brand new this Wednesday at 9 and catch up on demand.
00:34:19So this is a pretty funny story.
00:34:21Oh, I have a good one.
00:34:22You may or may not have heard this.
00:34:24Well.
00:34:26The most absurd.
00:34:27I was thrown up in a basket toss, forever high in the air.
00:34:31Most off the wall.
00:34:33This is a really bad idea.
00:34:39Most unbelievable stories you've never heard.
00:34:43I got this poop all over me.
00:34:44I need to get it off.
00:34:45One little fart and you jump out of a car.
00:34:47What happened to you?
00:34:48She just ate it.

00:35:38WWE.
00:35:39WWE.
00:35:41The following contest is a six-man tag team match.
00:35:46Before one falls, introducing first, the team of the Raw Tag Team Champions,
00:35:52Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre, and Braun Strowman.
00:35:57These three men have one mission, to rid WWE of the Shield forever.
00:36:10Fast down the hatches, this one is not going to be for the faint of heart.
00:36:15These are six superstars who detest one another,
00:36:19and want to vanquish the opposition permanently.
00:36:24The night Braun Strowman tried to cash in his money-to-bank contract,
00:36:28he was thwarted by the Shield.
00:36:31Since then, he recruited to back up,
00:36:33Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, the Raw Tag Team Champions.
00:36:37Since Strowman recruited the pack of his own,
00:36:40this trio has been next to unstoppable.
00:36:43Think about the last time we saw, on Monday Night Raw, all six men.
00:36:48McIntyre, Strowman, and Ziggler stood tall over a fallen Shield.
00:37:23Their opponents, Dean Ambrose,
00:37:26the Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins,
00:37:29and the Universal Champion Roman Reigns,
00:37:33The Shield!
00:37:40Pretty wild seeing the hounds of justice,
00:37:43and the power of the Shield.
00:37:47Pretty wild seeing the hounds of justice,
00:37:50march through this capacitive crowd here,
00:37:53at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
00:37:55One thing is for certain,
00:37:57the hounds of justice are ready for war tonight.
00:38:08Perhaps the most dominant trio in WWE history.
00:38:16Reigns, Rollins, and Ambrose.
00:38:22You know, a lot has been made over the past couple of weeks
00:38:25about Dean Ambrose's, well,
00:38:29his feelings toward his Shield brothers,
00:38:32Rollins and Reigns.
00:38:34Roman Reigns sent out a pretty interesting tweet
00:38:38over the past couple of days,
00:38:40where he said, we've been all over the world together.
00:38:43There are no cracks, there are no breaks.
00:38:46Tonight, we bring our form of justice to Melbourne.
00:38:50I think that's exactly that.
00:38:52You talk about the cracks in the Shield,
00:38:54what Dean Ambrose is thinking,
00:38:56but his actions speak louder than words.
00:38:58He fights with his brothers, he stands with his brothers.
00:39:00Well, Corey, do you think there's really been a crack in the Shield,
00:39:03or is that more so because of what McIntyre and Strowman
00:39:06and Ziggler have been trying to do,
00:39:08trying to drive a wedge between the trio?
00:39:10Listen, I don't think anybody can deny
00:39:12we've at least seen and felt some thoughts
00:39:15go through the head of Dean Ambrose
00:39:17that maybe we ordinarily wouldn't have.
00:39:19The questions have been raised,
00:39:21we've seen doubt in the eyes of Ambrose for the first time.
00:39:24I'm not saying you can't be trusted,
00:39:26but I'm just saying, don't necessarily trust him.
00:39:28Renee, you know Dean Ambrose better than anybody.
00:39:31Is Dean Ambrose 100% aligned with the Shield?
00:39:36Dean Ambrose is the most loyal person I've ever met in his life.
00:39:40I've seen him stand by his brothers,
00:39:42and we're going to see the exact same thing here tonight.
00:39:47The Shield surround the ring in attack mode.
00:39:51Strowman, Ziggler, and McIntyre are ready.
00:39:55This thing is about to explode.
00:40:11What an intimidating scene.
00:40:17Ron, Dolph and Drew asked for this, this is what they get.
00:40:20And here comes the Shield, and we are underway.
00:40:23All six men, a chaotic scene here to start the matchup.
00:40:27If you expected anything less than bedlam, you'd be dead wrong.
00:40:32Ambrose sends McIntyre, and now the Hounds
00:40:36go after the big man, the monster, Strowman.
00:40:40The pack mentality of Reigns, Rollins, and Ambrose.
00:40:44A flurry, six fists connecting with the monster moment.
00:40:48Look out, Ambrose tearing apart our table here.
00:40:52And now Rollins and Braun Strowman.
00:41:01And look it again, the three-on-one assault on Strowman.
00:41:05It's an absolute mugging.
00:41:06I got a feeling we could see a Shield bomb on the horizon.
00:41:09I was gonna say, Corey, I think we know what the Shield has in mind.
00:41:12This could be one and done real quick.
00:41:13Ambrose cleared off our announce table.
00:41:15It's a great strategy, eliminate the biggest problem first.
00:41:18Are we gonna look for a triple powerbomb here
00:41:21to the monster among men, Braun Strowman.
00:41:24And meanwhile, Dolph Ziggler and McIntyre back into the pile.
00:41:30And now it's Ziggler and company unloading on the Shield.
00:41:34I don't believe this match has even officially started yet.
00:41:39The referee trying to get some order here outside the ring.
00:41:44But the disdain and the hatred between these six men.
00:41:53And now Strowman sends Rollins into the ring.
00:41:56Ambrose and Reigns.
00:41:58Ziggler looking to capitalize on the architect of the Shield.
00:42:02Rollins all by his lonesome.
00:42:04Well, Dolph Ziggler has something to prove.
00:42:06In his mind, he has something to prove.
00:42:08Remember what Strowman said last week.
00:42:10He doesn't want any weak links in his group.
00:42:12And Ziggler lost the match last week to Reigns.
00:42:14And now Dolph Ziggler planting Rollins.
00:42:16Is it enough for Ziggler to win this match?
00:42:18Just underway officially now.
00:42:20Kick out by the Intercontinental Champion.
00:42:26Things are looking bleak already here for Seth Rollins.
00:42:29Reigns and Ambrose have been taken out of the equation.
00:42:31It is three on one essentially.
00:42:33And the Raw Tag Team Champions going to work.
00:42:36We could have a new floor running all of Monday Night Raw this week.
00:42:39Suplex by McIntyre.
00:42:40Cover now on Rollins.
00:42:41Kick out at two.
00:42:46And now McIntyre just mocking Seth Rollins.
00:42:50Stomp right on the jaw of Seth.
00:42:56What a start to this matchup.
00:42:58And would we have expected anything different?
00:43:01And now Strowman.
00:43:03The monster among men.
00:43:05Who's had so many problems with Reigns and the Shield.
00:43:09Acceleration and speed.
00:43:11385 pounds.
00:43:13Right into the chest of Seth Rollins.
00:43:15You want some of this?
00:43:17Get in here boy!
00:43:24Obviously no shortage of history between Strowman and Roman Reigns.
00:43:32Strowman and Reigns will battle at Crown Jewel on November 2nd in Saudi Arabia.
00:43:40And brought Lesnar in a triple threat for the Universal Title.
00:43:43Seth Rollins just has a target on his back tonight.
00:43:48Everyone in the Shield does.
00:43:50Right now Seth is taking the brunt of it.
00:43:52Both of these teams had a similar strategy.
00:43:56Drop in the elbow.
00:43:58Cover again on Rollins.
00:43:59Kick out.
00:44:00Try to isolate one member of the opposing team.
00:44:03And go to work.
00:44:04It's tag team mentality.
00:44:06And it's working out very well for the tag team champions.
00:44:09And Braun Strowman right now.
00:44:11I want to go back to your point I had started earlier Corey.
00:44:13With the fact that Dolph Ziggler.
00:44:15I think he believes he's got something to prove here tonight.
00:44:17I mean.
00:44:18Dolph Ziggler lives his life with a chip on his shoulder.
00:44:20And the fact that Braun Strowman.
00:44:22And even to an extent Drew McIntyre.
00:44:24Implied that yeah maybe Dolph wasn't the strongest.
00:44:27Maybe he was something of a weak link in their team.
00:44:30I understand that frustrates Dolph.
00:44:32And maybe it motivates Dolph.
00:44:34Because right now Ziggler looks like he's performing 110%.
00:44:37Look it's one thing for the WWE Universe.
00:44:39People online that want to talk trash about Dolph Ziggler.
00:44:42About what he's done with his career.
00:44:44But when it's coming from your own camp.
00:44:46That stinks.
00:44:47And here's McIntyre.
00:44:48The Scottish Psychopath.
00:44:52McIntyre was so proud to be back here in Australia.
00:44:56He talked about how he created a championship here.
00:44:59Created the Australian title.
00:45:01Look at this.
00:45:06McIntyre just mocking Rollins.
00:45:08Humiliating him in front of his Shield brothers.
00:45:16McIntyre has been so impressive.
00:45:18Since his recovery.
00:45:20Since his return to WWE.
00:45:22Drew fancies himself a hybrid athlete.
00:45:24The perfect blend of size, speed, strength, power and attitude.
00:45:28Who's going to argue with him?
00:45:30Drew has got a mean streak a mile long.
00:45:33Dolph Ziggler a two time world champion.
00:45:36Six time intercontinental champion.
00:45:38Former money in the bank contract winner.
00:45:42I wouldn't really call that a weak link.
00:45:45Not at all.
00:45:51Ziggler now doing his best to bait Ambrose in.
00:45:54Great little chaos.
00:45:56And now this trash talking Rollins.
00:46:00And Seth Rollins I think has heard enough.
00:46:02Delivered a couple of right hands now to Ziggler.
00:46:04And he's got Dolph Ziggler in trouble.
00:46:08Maybe not.
00:46:09Sleeper hold now by Ziggler.
00:46:10Right in the middle of the ring.
00:46:15Certainly no shortage of history between these two superstars.
00:46:18Rollins and Ziggler have battled basically all summer long.
00:46:21Over the intercontinental championship.
00:46:23I mean they've had some awesome battles.
00:46:25Remember the Ironman match?
00:46:27They've been one upping each other all year.
00:46:29That would be the ultimate satisfaction.
00:46:31And now Rollins is down to one knee.
00:46:33And Ziggler you hear him saying yeah, yes.
00:46:35He believes that Rollins is about to fade.
00:46:42The official's right there.
00:46:44Checking on Rollins.
00:46:46Checking on Rollins.
00:46:47Will Rollins pass out?
00:46:49Will Ziggler win this match for his team?
00:46:51Graves what does Monday Night Raw look like
00:46:53if Braun, Drew and Dolph are victorious tonight?
00:46:56Well Dolph and Drew already have the Raw Tag Team titles.
00:47:00This definitely would go a long way in building momentum for Strowman.
00:47:03Look at this.
00:47:04Ziggler going straight to the eyes.
00:47:07And Rollins though able to create a little bit of separation.
00:47:09But can he make a tag?
00:47:11To your point Rene.
00:47:13Strowman already believes that he can beat Roman Reigns
00:47:16and become Universal Champion.
00:47:18This would definitely make a stronger argument for Braun
00:47:21as we head toward Crown Jewel.
00:47:23Tag.
00:47:24McIntyre will not allow Rollins to make a tag.
00:47:28Seth though able to.
00:47:30Uh oh.
00:47:31Oh what a swing play by Rollins.
00:47:32Can he get to Reigns or Ambrose?
00:47:36Seth Rollins such a workhorse here in WWE.
00:47:38But he's been put through a gauntlet tonight.
00:47:40Ever since the bell rang to officially start this match
00:47:43it has been all Seth Rollins in the ring for the shield.
00:47:46Now Rollins trying to drag himself to the corner.
00:47:48The monster among men.
00:47:50Braun Strowman's not going to allow it to happen
00:47:52as he knocks both Ambrose and Reigns off the apron.
00:47:56And then delivers a shoulder tackle to Seth Rollins who may be out.
00:48:10Rollins almost lifeless meanwhile outside the ring.
00:48:13McIntyre drives Reigns into the steps
00:48:16and Ziggler drives Ambrose into the barricade.
00:48:20This has been a systematic destructive attack
00:48:23by Strowman and company.
00:48:25Seth Rollins.
00:48:31Seth Rollins is helpless.
00:48:33Seth Rollins.
00:48:39He's being dragged around the ring by a monster.
00:48:41It's like a ragdoll.
00:48:48Rollins has no one to tag.
00:48:49Ambrose and Reigns have been taken out.
00:48:51This is a three on one mugging.
00:48:57And Dolph Ziggler now the legal man.
00:49:01Ziggler's still not gotten over the fact
00:49:03that Rollins has the Intercontinental Championship.
00:49:09Come on buddy.
00:49:10Come on buddy do something.
00:49:12Do something.
00:49:13Come on.
00:49:15Do something Seth.
00:49:17No one cares.
00:49:18No one cares.
00:49:20Do something.
00:49:23Now Rollins is doing something.
00:49:25Couple of right hands trying to fight out of the corner.
00:49:27Here comes the Kingslayer.
00:49:28And right to the knee goes Ziggler.
00:49:30And now Dolph looks for the Famouser.
00:49:32Caught by Rollins.
00:49:36Seth Rollins doesn't have anybody to tag.
00:49:39Ambrose and Reigns are both still down from the attack
00:49:41from McIntyre and Ziggler.
00:49:43Dolph just tagged in McIntyre.
00:49:46Rollins though sends McIntyre.
00:49:48And now Strowman tags himself in.
00:49:51Rollins cannot catch a break.
00:49:58That Strowman is just unstoppable.
00:50:00How do you stop him?
00:50:01You don't.
00:50:02You get these little bursts of energy from Seth Rollins.
00:50:04But like you said there's nowhere for him to go.
00:50:06Seth's fighting for himself and his brothers in the shield.
00:50:09There's no quit in the Kingslayer whatsoever.
00:50:14The fact is Rollins is a man without a country right now.
00:50:23Where is Strowman going?
00:50:28You don't.
00:50:29No way.
00:50:30What the hell is he thinking?
00:50:31He's going to break the ring.
00:50:32He's going to go right through it.
00:50:34That's a year 400 pound man going up to the top rope.
00:50:38If Braun lands this it's all over for Rollins.
00:50:41That's for damn sure.
00:50:42This is crazy.
00:50:44This is insanity.
00:50:46Oh my God.
00:50:47Rollins able to roll out of the way.
00:50:49This could be the opening Seth Rollins needs.
00:50:51But Ambrose is going to go for it.
00:50:53He's going to go for it.
00:50:54Rollins able to roll out of the way.
00:50:55This could be the opening Seth Rollins needs.
00:50:57But Ambrose and Reigns are still down and out outside the ring.
00:51:01You got to wonder if it was simply a case of Braun getting a little overconfident.
00:51:04Spending so much time around Ziggler and McIntyre.
00:51:07Maybe the monster among men got a little bit too comfortable.
00:51:10Taking on a little bit of that showmanship from Dolph Ziggler.
00:51:14Ambrose trying to drag himself back up to the apron.
00:51:16Rollins trying to crawl toward the corner.
00:51:21Strowman is still down.
00:51:24Even if Seth is able to tag in Dean Ambrose.
00:51:26Dean doesn't look like he's in a good way right now either.
00:51:28Ambrose would love to settle a score he has with Strowman from this past week on Raw.
00:51:32Yeah, but Ambrose certainly significantly less than 100% right now.
00:51:37Ambrose and Ziggler now the legal men.
00:51:39And a lunatic fringe unloading on Dolph.
00:51:47Ziggler caught.
00:51:50Ambrose fall away slam.
00:51:52Where's JBL?
00:51:55Ambrose trying to get his team back in this one.
00:51:59Has Ziggler in a precarious position.
00:52:03Ambrose former WWE champion.
00:52:06Uh-oh. Ziggler now.
00:52:09McIntyre paid for it.
00:52:15For the Famouser again.
00:52:17Looking for dirty deeds.
00:52:18Dolph able to block.
00:52:20Went for the super kick.
00:52:22Ambrose blocks.
00:52:25Face first.
00:52:28Ambrose for the win.
00:52:29For the shield.
00:52:31Kick out at two and a half.
00:52:37The lunatic fringe continuing to reach deeper into his bag of tricks.
00:52:42Deeper into the arsenal.
00:52:44Since returning from injury.
00:52:45Ambrose has been like a new and improved version of himself as we can see right here.
00:52:51Watch the impact.
00:52:53And now it's Ambrose who's going to go up to the top rope.
00:52:56Talk about him picking up some new moves.
00:52:58A new look.
00:52:59A new attitude.
00:53:04Dolph may be going for the superplex.
00:53:05And Ambrose able to counter with a headbutt.
00:53:08Ambrose certainly looks a little more comfortable up there than Strowman did.
00:53:12Top rope again for Ambrose.
00:53:14Down goes Ziggler who rolls through though.
00:53:16Hooks the leg.
00:53:17Almost stole one.
00:53:19Oh man.
00:53:20Collision.
00:53:22What a collision.
00:53:23Both men down.
00:53:24Center of the ring.
00:53:25Ribs on ribs.
00:53:27Both superstars looking for the cross body.
00:53:31And what resulted was disastrous for both men.
00:53:34Look at the impact.
00:53:38Abdomen against abdomen as you said Renee.
00:53:41Ribs on ribs.
00:53:43Drive the breath out of both men.
00:53:45Who's going to make the catch?
00:53:46Reigns is back on the apron.
00:53:48So is McIntyre.
00:53:50Tag to McIntyre.
00:53:52Not going to allow Dean Ambrose to get to Roman Reigns.
00:53:55Game lands on his feet.
00:53:57Ducks underneath.
00:53:58Headbreaker.
00:54:05Reigns wants in this match.
00:54:07The universal champion is hungry to get in some of Drew McIntyre.
00:54:11Here comes the big dog.
00:54:12The universal champion.
00:54:14With a big boot to McIntyre.
00:54:19The two thoroughbreds doing battle right now.
00:54:22Roman just battering McIntyre in the corner.
00:54:32A big dog.
00:54:34McIntyre sent over the top rope to the floor.
00:54:37McIntyre.
00:54:39McIntyre.
00:54:40Sent over the top rope to the floor.
00:54:44What does Reigns do here?
00:54:47The champion just needed to survey the damage momentarily.
00:54:50Figure out what his options were.
00:54:52Right by the McIntyre.
00:55:0480-10.
00:55:06Is it enough for Reigns and the shield to pull off the victory here?
00:55:08And a kick out by Drew at two.
00:55:18It's essentially broken down to a one-on-one contest at this very moment.
00:55:23Both of these superstars teams have been isolated to the outside.
00:55:27Roman Reigns looks like he's getting a good idea.
00:55:39Reigns locked and loaded.
00:55:44Here comes Ziggler into the fray.
00:55:46Providing some interference which allows McIntyre to deliver the boot.
00:55:55Reigns with an inadvertent Superman punch to his brother Ambrose.
00:55:59Ambrose out.
00:56:01And now McIntyre roll up to win the matchup.
00:56:04Kick out at two by Reigns.
00:56:06He just palmed McIntyre to the mat.
00:56:08Now powers him up.
00:56:10Look at this.
00:56:12The strength of the universal champion.
00:56:16And Ziggler and McIntyre.
00:56:18McIntyre kicked out. Ziggler made the save.
00:56:23The architect perched on the side of the apron.
00:56:26And now Rollins takes out Ziggler.
00:56:29Braun Strowman back in the mix.
00:56:31Uh-oh.
00:56:35Oh my.
00:56:36Come on.
00:56:39Glasgow kiss from McIntyre.
00:56:42Into the post goes Strowman.
00:56:49My goodness.
00:56:51Look at this. This is freakish power.
00:56:53Seth is helpless.
00:56:55From the Scottish Terminator.
00:56:58Superman punch by Reigns.
00:57:00Cover by the big dog on McIntyre.
00:57:04And power out.
00:57:07Everybody's down.
00:57:09This looks like the scene of a car crash.
00:57:12This has been an insane beat down
00:57:14from even before the bell rang tonight.
00:57:16Let's not forget what happened moments ago.
00:57:18Now that we have a little bit of a break here.
00:57:21The fact that Roman Reigns delivered
00:57:23an inadvertent Superman punch
00:57:25that took out Dean Ambrose.
00:57:37The remaining members of the Shield
00:57:39look like they might be trying to regain a little strength.
00:57:44Oh, look at this.
00:57:46Now Strowman back on his feet.
00:57:48McIntyre, Ziggler.
00:57:50Rollins and Reigns find themselves
00:57:52on the opposite side of the coin.
00:57:54Surrounded.
00:57:56Outnumbered.
00:57:58This is bad news.
00:58:00The M.O. of the Shield.
00:58:02Wait.
00:58:04Oh my God.
00:58:06Oh my God.
00:58:08Oh my God.
00:58:10Oh my God.
00:58:12Oh my God.
00:58:14Oh my God.
00:58:16Oh my God.
00:58:18Oh my God.
00:58:20Oh my God.
00:58:22Oh my God.
00:58:24Oh my God.
00:58:26Oh my God.
00:58:28Oh my God.
00:58:30Oh my God.
00:58:32Oh my God.
00:58:34Oh my God.
00:58:36Oh my God.
00:58:38Ambrose went after Strowman.
00:58:40I thought for a split second
00:58:42that Ambrose was going to join Strowman in company.
00:58:44But it wouldn't be.
00:58:46And now the Shield take it over.
00:58:51The Hounds of Justice
00:58:53with a pack attack on McIntyre.
00:58:58Brothers to the bone.
00:59:00Shield doing what the Shield does.
00:59:02Ambrose.
00:59:04Ambrose.
00:59:06Double tag.
00:59:08Ambrose is legal.
00:59:10I think we're going to finally see it.
00:59:12Summon the Cerberus.
00:59:18The Shield looking for it.
00:59:20The triple powerbomb.
00:59:22Strowman takes out everybody.
00:59:30Yeah!
00:59:33Strowman just took out everyone.
00:59:36The entire Shield plus Drew McIntyre.
00:59:40That's the difference of being a monster
00:59:42instead of just a single man.
00:59:44He took out an entire squad.
00:59:46And now he's just tossing everybody out of the ring.
01:00:00What the hell is Strowman thinking here?
01:00:02Blasting Reigns into the barricade.
01:00:13And now Rollins.
01:00:15My God.
01:00:17He gets run over by a truck.
01:00:19Ziggler waiting for it.
01:00:21There it is.
01:00:23The Shield has been taken out.
01:00:25No!
01:00:29We were a half a second away
01:00:30from declaring a new dominant trio
01:00:32on Monday Night Raw.
01:00:34Throw him out on the floor.
01:00:36I'll run his ass over.
01:00:43Well he did it to Rollins and Reigns already.
01:00:45There's no reason he won't do it to Ambrose too.
01:00:47I think Ambrose is about to meet the same exact fate
01:00:50as his Shield brothers.
01:00:52Being on the wrong end.
01:00:57I can't watch this.
01:00:58Like a raging bull.
01:01:00Oh my God!
01:01:03Driven through the barricade
01:01:05by Roman Reigns.
01:01:07Where the hell did Roman even come from?
01:01:09Reigns intercepted Strowman.
01:01:11Saving Ambrose.
01:01:13Super kick from Ziggler.
01:01:20Ambrose back into the ring.
01:01:22Dolph Ziggler now.
01:01:24And Drew McIntyre looking to take out Ambrose.
01:01:26Reigns.
01:01:28And Strowman.
01:01:30Rollins all down for the count.
01:01:33Here it comes.
01:01:35You're going to see the Claymore zigzag.
01:01:38And it's Rollins now!
01:01:40Running interference.
01:01:42Super kick!
01:01:44Ambrose!
01:01:4630 days!
01:01:48Rolls into the cover!
01:01:50The Shield stands tall!
01:01:54Here are your winners,
01:01:56The Shield!
01:01:59We knew it was going to be chaotic.
01:02:02We knew it was going to be grueling.
01:02:05Questions remain
01:02:07as to where Dean Ambrose stood.
01:02:10But I think all the doubt
01:02:12was removed tonight.
01:02:15That was incredible.
01:02:17That was insane!
01:02:19I could not believe what we just witnessed.
01:02:21That was the war we expected.
01:02:23This ringside area looks like a tornado
01:02:25just hit the thing.
01:02:26Here comes Strowman.
01:02:28Watch this!
01:02:30Roman Reigns from out of nowhere!
01:02:32We thought he was back at Georgia Tech.
01:02:34What about the timing from Roman Reigns?
01:02:36And speaking of timing
01:02:38at the last possible second
01:02:40Rollins jumps in
01:02:42eats a super kick
01:02:44which opens the door
01:02:46for Dean to land Dirty Deeds
01:02:48on Dolph Ziggler
01:02:50and rack up a victory
01:02:52for the Hounds of Justice.
01:02:54There's a reason
01:02:57for this.
01:02:59Brothers to the bone.
01:03:13Dean Ambrose
01:03:15realized what Roman Reigns did for him.
01:03:18The Shield!
01:03:20The Hounds of Justice
01:03:22stand tall!
01:03:27Talking about the Shield tonight
01:03:29at the Super Showdown
01:03:31you have to mention the word sacrifice.
01:03:33All three of these men
01:03:35at different points in the matchup
01:03:37were forced
01:03:39out of pure necessity
01:03:41to sacrifice themselves
01:03:43for their brothers.
01:03:45We mentioned what Roman said earlier.
01:03:47There are no cracks.
01:03:49There are no breaks.
01:03:51Tonight
01:03:53we bring our force
01:03:54of justice to Melbourne.
01:03:56That was absolutely evident
01:03:58with what we saw tonight.
01:04:00What an unbelievable
01:04:02showing from the Shield tonight.
01:04:05The Shield
01:04:07as Roman Reigns would say
01:04:09believe that.
01:04:11What an incredible match
01:04:13as the Shield holds serve
