00:11Winter Olympics. The road to WrestleMania and the Super Bowl. What a game this is. In
00:21the most unprecedented, undisputed, unbelievable moments, you can't not watch.
00:28Should old acquaintance be forgot? Andy Rose defends the NXT Women's Championship against
00:50Raquel Gonzalez. Also for a date, it's a triple threat match. The highly anticipated rematch
01:27in life. Get lost in the moment. Winners get the main event of WrestleMania. The dome at
01:36America's Center in St. Louis, Missouri for the first time ever. This is the Royal Rumble.

02:14And so much more. Tonight only save up to 50% off championship titles and T's only at
02:26wweshop.com. Excuse me, Bobby. Your chances of winning the WWE Championship have just
02:46taken a real hit with the news that Brock Lesnar has let me stop you right there before
02:51you say something ridiculous like you off to do. Brock Lesnar is a once in a lifetime
02:57athlete. One of the most phenomenal athletic specimens the world has ever seen. And I
03:04understand that the rest of the men in this match are trembling with fear because with the addition
03:08of Brock Lesnar, the odds of them winning have diminished substantially. You know who's not
03:14trembling with fear? The almighty Bobby Lashley. Would you like to know why? Because Bobby Lashley
03:20is a once in a lifetime athlete. One of the most phenomenal athletic specimens the world has ever
03:26seen. I dare say the yin to Brock Lesnar's yang. Bobby Lashley welcomes the addition of Brock
03:34Lesnar to this match because when he regains his WWE Championship, he could say that he defeated
03:38Brock Lesnar as well. The almighty has decimated his way into this championship match. And when
03:44he regains his WWE Championship, it won't just be the first day of 2022. It'll be the first
03:51day of the rest of the almighty era. Champ. He's an obstacle, Kevin, just like the rest of these
03:59guys out there. And I'm going to take great pleasure in putting him in the hurt lock and
04:02watching him tap out. Feeling him tap out. Just like P said, new year, new WWE Champion.
04:142022, the year of stupendous. The biggest stadium, the biggest star, the most must see night of your life.

05:22Great shows are defined by opportunities. Who has a big opportunity in front of them?
05:27Who has a bigger opportunity than Liv Morgan against Big Time Bucks? I can't think of anyone.
05:33This is a rivalry, a long time in the making. Will the second chance be Liv's golden opportunity or will we remain living in the big time?
05:45I know who I've been. The youngest of six children raised by a single mom.
05:51A confused kid who couldn't find her way in life with a dream in my head that I couldn't articulate to the world around me.
05:59Liv Morgan versus Big Time Becky Lynch for the Raw Women's Championship.
06:05That confused kid has grown into a confident woman who isn't afraid to fight for that dream.
06:16Who won't be denied the moment she has waited her whole entire life for.
06:21Can we see a new champion?
06:23Who I am is the next Raw Women's Champion.
06:27What's going to happen when it comes to the big time, the big fight, the big feel?
06:31Looking for the manhandle slam counter, shoulders down!
06:37She grabbed the rope!
06:40Becky Lynch seated!
06:42Well that's embarrassing.
06:44Cry baby Liv, you gonna cry? You gonna cry?
06:47I am still standing here your Raw Women's Champion just like I said I would.
06:57A lot of you have opinions on how I am and you don't like how I do my job.
07:03You never broke down gender barriers to become the biggest thing in this industry.
07:10You never left at the height of your career and came back better than ever.
07:17Manhandle slam! Lynch wins the title!
07:20Becky Lynch is back!
07:22If you don't evolve you get left behind.
07:24Disappointing all of your fans just like Liv did.
07:28Get used to that.
07:30I'm not getting used to anything Becky.
07:33You doubting me is the exact reason why you had a cheat to win.
07:38I didn't do that because I had to. I did it because it was easy.
07:41The only thing that you proved is that you don't have the killer instinct.
07:45I know that I can beat you.
07:48I won't ever give up until I can make that title mean something again for people like that little girl.
07:55If you're really big time Bex then you'd accept a rematch for the Raw Women's Championship at day one.
08:04You wanna hang with me Liv? You wanna hang with the best?
08:08You're not ready Liv.
08:10You did the same thing that you always do Liv.
08:13You did absolutely nothing.
08:19Liv Morgan has heard enough from the Women's Champion.
08:24At day one I'm gonna break your face.
08:28Oh no!
08:29I don't think you can handle the heat.
08:31No, no, no, no, no.
08:34How did you still want that match?
08:39You're on!
08:43You're on!
08:49You only get a few chances to live your dream.
08:52That's what Liv Morgan gets tonight.
08:55The opportunity to live her dream as a champion in this sold out crowd wondering if she has what it takes to make it come true.
09:03There's an old saying that be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.
09:09Liv Morgan had one shot at Becky Lynch in the Raw Women's Championship and came up short.
09:15Maybe there were some questionable means employed by big time Bex but the fact is Becky knows how to win.
09:22Tonight if Liv doesn't get the job done in my opinion straight to the back of the line.
09:27The key is Liv Morgan knows she can hang with big time Bex.
09:33Well WWE Day 1 is presented by WWE Supercard Season 8.
09:39Step into the brand new Survivor Mode.
09:41Be the last one standing in this 10 person winner takes all tournament and earn massive rewards.
09:47And 5 Splash Blasts.
09:49Zero calories, zero sugars.
09:51It's the fruit freshening choice.
10:03Liv certainly the sentimental favorite amongst the WWE Universe here in Atlanta tonight.
10:10She embraces that underdog role but I gotta say she's the underdog for a reason.
10:192022 welcome to the big time.
10:25You're talking about sold out crowds.
10:28You're talking about frenzied chants.
10:30You're talking about people screaming and yelling.
10:33That is where big time Bex flies.
10:37The woman is strutting to the ring with goats on her shoulders.
10:41Because in her own opinion and the opinions of many.
10:45Bex is the greatest.
10:49Listen for everything Becky Lynch has accomplished.
10:52And you can take nothing away from big time Bex.
10:55But here's the thing I don't think we're talking about enough.
10:57I think that truly Becky Lynch feels threatened by Liv Morgan.
11:02There's a reason why Becky Lynch had to cheat the last time these two were in the ring with each other.
11:07There's a reason Becky Lynch tried to break the arm of Liv Morgan.
11:10She understands Liv has that killer instinct.
11:12And that killer instinct could be enough to become RAW Women's Champion.
11:16You know what Byron I actually agree with just about everything you just said with one slight difference.
11:21Becky Lynch has proven for years.
11:24That when the moment is biggest.
11:26Becky knows how to win.
11:29Period.
11:33The following contest scheduled for one fall is for.
11:36The RAW Women's Championship.
11:42Introducing the challenger.
11:45From Elmwood Park, New Jersey.
11:48Liv Morgan.
11:57And her opponent.
11:59She is the RAW Women's Champion.
12:03Big time Bex.
12:06Becky Lynch.
12:12Becky Lynch is such a star she made Mike Rowe's voice crack.
12:18It was nearly a month ago that Liv Morgan had her first RAW.
12:21Now look at this.
12:22I love everything about this.
12:24Liv Morgan is all fired up.
12:26Liv Morgan is likely in her own head.
12:28And Becky Lynch is as cool as could possibly be before the opening bell.
12:33This is the difference.
12:34This is the difference in the caliber of superstar between Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch.
12:39I kind of disagree with you to a point, Corey.
12:41Because remember.
12:42Liv Morgan a month ago had her first Women's Championship opportunity.
12:46And she took Becky Lynch to the limit in her first match.
12:50How much better is Liv Morgan going to be here tonight?
12:53That's the big question in the lead up to this match.
12:56Big time Bex has not talked about her physical advantages.
12:59Just talking about being faster or stronger.
13:01It's I'm mentally more prepared for this moment than you are.
13:05Because Becky Lynch is cagey.
13:08Becky Lynch is crafty.
13:10Becky knows her right.
13:12Face first.
13:13My goodness.
13:14That was a home run on the first pitch almost.
13:17First major blow of the match delivered by Liv Morgan.
13:19Who's wasting no time now.
13:21Going after the RAW Women's Champion.
13:23This is smart.
13:24This is what Liv's got to do.
13:26You might be big time.
13:27But I'm a little more savage right now.
13:29This is the kind of aggression that Becky Lynch has brought out of Liv Morgan.
13:34Two matches in as I'm starting the second beverage I've lost this evening.
13:37It is all over the place.
13:38Let that thing go.
13:40Smart move.
13:41As I mentioned, crafty, cagey.
13:43Becky Lynch knows how to make the rules of the ring work in her own advantage.
13:47Well, maybe Becky just got overwhelmed here.
13:49And look at the momentum of Liv Morgan.
13:51Oh.
13:52Beautiful counter.
13:54Becky Lynch had a foot waiting for Liv Morgan.
13:58Becky Lynch looks like she's trying to compose herself.
14:01After she was a bit surprised by the offensive onslaught from Liv Morgan.
14:05Composure should not be.
14:06Manhandle.
14:07Slam.
14:08Oh.
14:09Nice counter by Liv Morgan.
14:10To the arm throw.
14:12Nice arm drag.
14:14Morgan able to sidestep Becky Lynch.
14:17I got to say, this is a much more confident Liv Morgan.
14:21Step up knee.
14:22Rocks the champion.
14:23We saw in her first title opportunity.
14:25I think she learned from that loss.
14:27It shows you that Liv Morgan has done her homework.
14:29I guarantee you, she probably watched that match a hundred times.
14:32Learning what kind of mistakes she made and would not make again.
14:35My goodness.
14:36Just trouncing the champion in the corner.
14:39Cover by Morgan.
14:40Shoulders down.
14:41Out before three.
14:43And Byron, as impressive as Liv Morgan was in their last matchup,
14:46this is a different situation.
14:48This is day one.
14:49This is kicking off a new year.
14:51This is a new era.
14:53Out of the way just in time.
14:54Once again, in front of a sold out crowd.
14:56Backslide.
14:57That's a lot of pressure.
14:58Took the words right out of my mouth, Jimmy.
15:00Disarmer.
15:02Beautiful rollout to the cover.
15:04Only gets one out of it.
15:06Look at this reversal.
15:08Submission applied.
15:09Becky Lynch is in trouble.
15:11Lynch is in trouble.
15:12Can you imagine if Liv Morgan could win the role?
15:14I don't think so.
15:15I don't think so.
15:16I don't think so.
15:17I don't think so.
15:18I don't think so.
15:19I don't think so.
15:20I don't think so.
15:21Can you imagine if Liv Morgan could win the role?
15:22Foot's on the rope.
15:24Go.
15:25Let's go.
15:26And, again, that's the wherewithal of the veteran Becky Lynch.
15:28And that was a smart move.
15:30I actually condone what Liv Morgan just did.
15:32Keeping the pressure for the official's count of five that is allotted.
15:36Inflicting extra damage on the champion.
15:38You got five seconds.
15:39Punish him for four.
15:40That's a good move.
15:41You're talking about the pressure of this stage.
15:43I think Liv Morgan is feeding off the pressure,
15:45feeding off the bright lights,
15:46feeding off the sold out arena.
15:48Corey, is she not fighting like a veteran tonight, Liv Morgan?
15:51To this point, absolutely.
15:56I gotta remember the year that Becky Lynch
15:58has had since her comeback, SummerSlam, Crown Jewel.
16:02When the lights are biggest, she's at her best so far.
16:06But Liv Morgan has her on her heels.
16:08There's no other way to say it.
16:09Has not let up.
16:11From the moment this match started.
16:13Big slam, the champion's down.
16:15Liv Morgan with the cover.
16:16Trying to be the new champion.
16:19Only getting two.
16:23Emotional win over Charlotte Flair at Survivor Series.
16:27But all of those wins, those are all signature wins.
16:30They all take something out of you, Corey.
16:32You gotta wonder how much she has left for Liv Morgan.
16:36It appears as though Big Time Becks has plenty left, Jimmy.
16:40That was unique.
16:41Launching her to the bottom rope.
16:44That will stunt any momentum
16:46that Liv Morgan had built in this match.
16:48That's a shocked Becky Lynch.
16:50Dare I say, borderline panic look
16:51on the face of the champion.
16:54Morgan into the ring, covered.
16:56With the cover.
16:58Out just in time.
17:01Becky Lynch just didn't expect this kind of offense this early.
17:04You gotta wonder at this point,
17:05is Becky Lynch fighting not to lose or is she fighting to win?
17:07I mean, that could very well be an integral part
17:10in the outcome of this match.
17:11But is there a difference when you're the champion?
17:13You're going to walk out champion.
17:15Becky Lynch has made that,
17:16I don't care how I win or if I win,
17:18if I walk out champion, am I wrong?
17:20And there is a champion's advantage
17:22we refer to regularly.
17:24Liv Morgan, the onus is on Liv to make Becky Lynch submit
17:28or pin Becky Lynch's shoulders to the mat.
17:31Becky can escape Atlanta as long as she's champion
17:35in a litany of ways.
17:37Could be all of those ways are occurring to her right now.
17:41Liv Morgan on the warpath.
17:44Morgan from behind.
17:45Oh, Becky Lynch able to hold onto the top rope.
17:48Smart move right at the end, head full of hair.
17:52Lynch unleashing on Morgan.
17:55Becky now perched on the middle rope.
17:59Not good news for Liv Morgan.
18:01Leg drop across the back of Liv's neck.
18:02To the cover, hooking the leg.
18:05Kick out just in time.
18:09Looks like Becky Lynch, though,
18:10digging deep tension right now.
18:12The emotional state of Becky Lynch concerns me right now.
18:15Because I think Becky Lynch is continuing surprisingly enough
18:18to lose confidence right now against Liv Morgan.
18:21The longer Morgan hangs around.
18:22Look at this aggression from the champ.
18:24Ground and pound to the cover.
18:28Not gonna be that easy.
18:29She's realizing that now.
18:33Thought I had someone who would collapse
18:35under the strain of the moment.
18:39But she's facing right now a determined Liv Morgan.
18:41She has to get back in it.
18:43You guys need to put a little more respect on Becky Lynch
18:45when you're talking about it.
18:46Becky knows exactly what she's dealing with tonight.
18:50Has Becky had an answer for everything Liv has attempted?
18:52No, but that's gonna happen in a title match
18:55when you are dealing with two top-level competitors.
18:58But so far...
18:59And looks like Liv Morgan able to throw her way out of it.
19:02So far, Becky Lynch is hanging in the fight
19:05and Liv has not found a way to win yet.
19:08Beautiful athletics.
19:09Oh, that is an exploder suplex.
19:11To the cover, both of these superstars so athletic.
19:14Could it be over?
19:15Nope.
19:18A quick kick out by Liv Morgan.
19:20But frustrated she can only get one.
19:23Of course, and again, Liv Morgan continues
19:26to get into the mind of Becky Lynch.
19:29Gonna break her down, saying, stay down.
19:33Can't beat you physically.
19:34I'm gonna try and beat you mentally.
19:36I think she thinks she has the edge in that game.
19:38Look at Becky, Becky's trying to talk herself up,
19:40remind herself, hey, hey, I'm the Raw Women's Champion.
19:43I'm the best, I can do this.
19:48Liv Morgan, you talked about it, Corey,
19:49the crowd support, about the wave of enthusiasm
19:53for her, her momentum this year.
19:55All should peak right now.
19:58Oh, and she's facing a determined champion.
20:02Spinning back kick.
20:04Listen, Becky Lynch just demanded
20:07that we let everyone listening at home know
20:09that she is the greatest.
20:11How about Becky focus on winning this match?
20:14Oh no.
20:15A little bit of a misstep.
20:19Oh, need some turnbuckle, says Liv Morgan.
20:22Somehow Saxton's fault.
20:24Yeah, yeah, sure it is.
20:26Big time, Beck's now all out of sorts in the corner.
20:29Liv with some valuable time to recover
20:31as we look back at the champion
20:33being launched into the top turnbuckle.
20:35But again, Liv Morgan unable to capitalize.
20:40All right, now Becky Lynch is reeling.
20:41This is a prime opportunity
20:44for Liv Morgan to muster some more offense.
20:47You could argue she's not gonna have a better chance
20:49than right now.
20:51Has the champ reeling?
20:52Roll up.
20:54Oh, kick out at two for Becky Lynch.
20:59Kick down low to Becky Lynch.
21:03Morgan now high flying, straight to the ground and pound.
21:07Completely unloading on the Raw Women's Champion.
21:10Liv's gotta be careful not to get herself disqualified.
21:13If Liv lets her emotions get the best of her,
21:15this could be another opportunity up in smoke.
21:18She is feeling it and so is this sold out crowd.
21:23Be able to step out of the way.
21:25Needs a nasty elbow from Morgan now
21:26who's perched on the middle rope.
21:28Oh, beautiful drop kick.
21:30She has Becks laid out.
21:32Cover, one, two.
21:36Let's see Becky Lynch's body recoil.
21:39Watch this impact.
21:41Liv with both right to the chest of the champion.
21:48It has been a wild night thus far.
21:50State Farm Arena, Atlanta, Georgia, day one.
21:55Incredible from the beginning,
21:56ladies and gentlemen.
21:57We still got more to come.
21:59The Beast Incarnate added to the WWE Championship
22:02main event, Fatal 5-Way.
22:05Right now, the Raw Women's title on the line.
22:07Kick to the body by Big Time Becks.
22:11Nice suplex, looking for the armbar.
22:13Trying to get it straight.
22:15Morgan trying to block.
22:16Use that hip break, kick that arm off.
22:18She's got it.
22:18That's it, that is it.
22:20High feet tap or snap.
22:22Oh, Morgan, wait a minute.
22:23Able to superlative.
22:23Two pinning combination.
22:24Only two though.
22:27Great job in getting out of that armbar.
22:30Oh, watching Becks face down once again to the cover.
22:37Becky escapes out the back door.
22:42Now it's Liv Morgan wearing the face of confusion.
22:45That's exactly where Liv Morgan cannot afford
22:47to be emotionally right now in this match.
22:50I think she thought it was over there.
22:52She's got to regroup.
22:54Well, listen.
22:55She wants to be champion.
22:56Liv Morgan can't spend too much time
22:57trying to regroup.
22:59Liv needs to keep her foot on the gas pedal
23:01because the Raw Women's Champion is down.
23:03This could be Liv Morgan's moment
23:05as she makes the climb, the long climb to the top rope.
23:08About to go airborne,
23:09but there is Big Time Becks just in time.
23:14A window of opportunity so small
23:17when you're in the ring with Becky Lynch.
23:19And it has closed shut.
23:21Right now, Becky Lynch on offense.
23:24I think it's superplex.
23:27Morgan, several short jabs to the body.
23:30She gets it.
23:31That might be the end, but right now, look at...
23:35They can powerbomb.
23:36Can she get it?
23:37Too much fight left in the champion.
23:40Liv Morgan responds in kind.
23:42Lynch still in a precarious position on the middle rope.
23:46Sunset.
23:47Look at that!
23:49We have a new champion!
23:53Becky Lynch kicks out.
23:58Launching herself into that sunset powerbomb.
24:02Hey, guys, Liv Morgan needed a Hail Mary.
24:05This was it.
24:06Liv planting Becky's shoulders to the mat,
24:10but somehow the Raw Women's Champion survives.
24:14Champions are made from something different, gentlemen,
24:18and that's what we're seeing right now from Becky Lynch.
24:20Credit the incredible resourcefulness of Liv Morgan,
24:23but Morgan knows she's got to have
24:25the performance of a lifetime.
24:27The best performance of her career.
24:28Again, Liv cannot halt.
24:30So far, she's had that, and it hasn't been enough.
24:33She's had a great match so far.
24:35Can't stop.
24:36Morgan can't stop.
24:36Lynch wants to disarm her.
24:37It's in!
24:38The disarm or submission is in.
24:40Transition right to a leg on the rope.
24:43Talk about veteran moves.
24:45Great wherewithal.
24:46Becky's got to break it.
24:47Almost got herself disqualified.
24:50We know it almost counts,
24:51but in that instance, that was four seconds
24:53Liv Morgan had to spend.
24:55Oh, it's a cradle!
24:57A reversal!
24:58One!
25:00That's all she's gonna get.
25:05Oh!
25:06Face first goes Morgan.
25:07Cover by the champ.
25:08Gotta get it over with.
25:10Oh, not quite enough for three.
25:13So many close calls in this
25:15RAW Women's Championship matchup.
25:17You gotta ask yourself, as a competitor,
25:19what moves do I have left after this?
25:21And here we see Lynch reaching deeper into her arsenal,
25:24planning Liv Morgan face first,
25:27but Liv still with enough left to escape before three.
25:32Becky Lynch has got to be asking herself,
25:34what does she have left to put Liv Morgan away?
25:37They've traded big slams.
25:39They've traded huge submissions.
25:42Unable to bounce back from all of them.
25:47Right now, Becky Lynch absolutely enraged
25:50at this upstart challenger.
25:53Relentless offense from the champion.
25:57Morgan barely hanging on to the middle rope.
25:59What is going through the mind now
26:01of the RAW Women's Champion?
26:03Going to the well once again.
26:04Oh, leg drop worked earlier in the match,
26:07but no, two times is too many.
26:09The field is set to emergency now for Liv Morgan.
26:12First on the top rope, eyes locked on Lynch.
26:15Oh, beautiful drop kick!
26:17I don't know how much of a drop kick Morgan got.
26:19He got enough to send Becky Lynch running.
26:23And I think reality just kicked Liv Morgan in the teeth.
26:27Because Becky Lynch rolled to the outside
26:28and Morgan just realized, there is nothing I can do.
26:32Becky Lynch is too smart for me.
26:34Look at this drop kick.
26:36Got enough of it, to your point.
26:38But Lynch so wisely, rolling out of the ring,
26:42realizing Liv has to beat her in the ring
26:44to become champion.
26:45Oh, look out, look out, Liv Morgan!
26:47She'll attack her outside of the ring too!
26:51Cross body through the ropes,
26:52and right now all the momentum with the challenger.
26:56Liv needs to get Becky in the ring, just like this.
26:59Smart move by the challenger.
27:02And smarter move by the champion.
27:04Lynch again, yeah, looking for an escape.
27:06This is champion's advantage being exploited
27:09to its fullest by Becky Lynch.
27:11It's all perfectly legal.
27:14Take a look at the lengths Morgan was willing to go through.
27:17Out here in front of us again.
27:20Now it's big time,
27:21Becky's putting a big time beat down on the challenger.
27:25Destroying our table with the face of Liv Morgan.
27:29Lynch returning the favor from early on,
27:31and now instructing the referee, count.
27:32Becky Lynch will proudly accept the count out victory
27:35in this RAW Women's Championship match.
27:38That's what it might come down to.
27:40Referee's up to seven.
27:43Morgan's gotta hurry, Morgan's gotta hurry.
27:45Four seconds, just barely makes it.
27:48Throwing right in to more vitriol from big time, Becks.
27:53Becky Lynch is incensed.
27:55But after that attack,
27:56how many people would have questioned Liv Morgan
27:58taking the count out herself?
28:00Took guts to get back in there.
28:03That's one way of looking at it.
28:06Becky, bring it in, let's go!
28:09What?
28:11But Becky Lynch wants to make a-
28:12Oh!
28:13Beautiful reversal by Liv Morgan.
28:15And the point of Lynch's hip,
28:17hit the top of the stairs.
28:19Oh no!
28:20Oh, gentlemen, look at this!
28:22Liv Morgan's fair play!
28:24To return the favor!
28:25Oh, look at this!
28:26Oh!
28:29Liv Morgan wants to break the arm
28:30of the RAW Women's Champions!
28:31Well, Liv may have succeeded!
28:33Stomping it right through the stairs!
28:36And now back in the rings,
28:38the only place that Liv Morgan can become champion!
28:41Just that quick, a kick by the champion
28:44to the bridge of the nose.
28:45Stopped Liv Morgan dead in her tracks.
28:49Now we have to ask, what does Becky Lynch have left?
28:53What is left in her offensive arsenal?
28:55Or how about, what does Liv Morgan have left?
28:57We're about to witness it!
28:58Oh!
28:59Oh!
29:00Back into the rings of sound again!
29:01And it is tight!
29:03No!
29:05We might see a new champion right here!
29:07And screaming in agony!
29:10There's no escape!
29:13She just reversed, she's on her back!
29:15Her shoulders are down!
29:16Oh no!
29:17Not quite enough, but it gets her out of the submission!
29:20Morgan very wisely released the hold
29:22before getting herself pinned.
29:23But she's not letting up!
29:25And it's hanging on for dear life to that middle rope!
29:29She just saw her title slip away,
29:31I thought she had her there!
29:33Oblivion!
29:34Trying to execute it, but!
29:35Oh man, handle slam counter!
29:40The champion retains!
29:41Here is your winner, and still the Raw Women's Champion,
29:45Big Time Bex, Becky Lynch!
29:50That sequence showed everything!
29:53These two superstars have everything!
29:57What it all boils down to,
29:59is that she is what she says she is!
30:03The G.O.A.T., Big Time Bex,
30:06the Raw Women's Champion, Becky Lynch!
30:10The Raw Women's Champion survives!
30:13We cannot discredit the fight we saw from Liv Morgan.
30:17Morgan was looking for oblivion,
30:19but the Raw Women's Champion with the wherewithal
30:22to hit the man handle slam to secure the-
30:25Oh, and look at Lynch!
30:26Lynch was even looking for a little aid
30:27for the bottom rope!
30:29Did not get it, it was a perfectly legal pin,
30:32and this crowd, this sold out crowd in Atlanta,
30:35stunned, stunned is the only way to describe it!
30:39Becky Lynch, once again, survived!
30:42Survived the threat of Liv Morgan!
30:47This has to be a heartbreaking moment for the challenger,
30:51but triumph on the face of that champion,
30:55with good reason.
30:56It's Big Time Bex, in her spotlight.
31:01We're all just living it.
31:09Well, congratulations to Big Time Bex,
31:12Becky Lynch, on retaining her Raw Women's Championship.
31:15And now, ladies and gentlemen,
31:16please welcome my guest, Seth Rollins.
31:19What a day, what a night, what a show, Mike.
31:23Let's do this thing, what you got?
31:24Seth, care to comment at all on the inclusion
31:27of Brock Lesnar now making this a fatal five-way
31:30for the WWE Championship?
31:31Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:36Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:40You know, this was my match.
31:44This was supposed to be a one-on-one match,
31:47and then Kevin Owens, he lied his way in
31:50to make it a triple threat, and then Bobby Lashley,
31:53he bullied his way in to make it a fatal four-way,
31:55and now Brock Lesnar has...
32:00Well, he's Brock Lesnar'd his way into this match,
32:03so what am I gonna do, what am I gonna do?
32:05What in the world am I gonna do?
32:07I can't divulge my tactics, but what I will say is this.
32:12The four other men in this match have something in common
32:17that gives me an advantage, do you know what that is?
32:21Didn't think so.
32:23They're not me.
32:26They're not Seth freaking Rollins!
32:30So what am I gonna do?
32:32I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
32:33I'm gonna go out there and do what I do
32:35better than anyone on this planet.
32:38I'm gonna go out there tonight and stomp heads and win.
32:54It's the start of something beautiful.
32:57Play the footage for me, please.
33:04They're not rumors, I was a handful.
33:06I did what I did, man, I don't have any regrets.
33:08You can think outside the box, you can go extreme.
33:11Something that you never thought in your wildest dreams
33:14could ever come true.
33:28We all knew this was kind of a special time.
33:30Ruthless aggression!
33:32It just felt like there was a place for everyone.
33:34I have goosebumps right now.
33:35Oh, hell yeah!
33:46Atlanta, a great crowd tonight,
33:48sold out in the State Farm Arena.
33:50Why?
33:51Because it's a great sports town.
33:53Their enthusiasm so far, off the charts.
33:56It has been an absolute blast.
33:58I'm so excited to be here.
33:59Off the charts, Corey.
34:01It has been absolutely unbelievable
34:03and the main event is still to come.
34:06I cannot wait.
34:07But we're always looking forward,
34:09and what we're looking forward to now,
34:10in a mere 28 days in St. Louis,
34:13I get to call my first Royal Rumble.
34:16How excited are you, gentlemen?
34:17It's the kickoff to the road to WrestleMania.
34:19It begins in St. Louis.
34:21It is gonna be unbelievable.
34:23Everyone you've seen tonight already has their sights
34:26set on St. Louis in the Rumble.
34:28It's been amazing all night,
34:29but earlier tonight, a lot of action,
34:32including some tough injuries
34:36for some very, very tough superstars.
34:38Am I wrong?
34:39During our day one kickoff show,
34:40Cesaro and Ricochet versus Ridge Holland and Sheamus.
34:43And if we could see that again,
34:45perhaps in slow motion,
34:47this is one of the risks when you step in the ring.
34:49Watch Ricochet's foot, then shin,
34:53right across the nose of Ridge Holland.
34:56Ridge was unable to complete the matchup,
34:59which left Sheamus on his own to compete against Ricochet
35:03and his former tag team partner, Cesaro.
35:06This would take Ricochet out of the equation completely.
35:09Boom!
35:09White noise on the outside of the ring,
35:12and Cesaro fought valiantly.
35:15But ultimately, the Celtic Warrior
35:18would bring Fight Night to the ATL.
35:20A bro kick shuts Cesaro's lights out.
35:24A big win for the New Year and Sheamus.
35:34And when it comes to the future,
35:36we have an announcement,
35:37but none other than the wild man himself, Johnny Knoxville.
35:43All right, it's New Year's Day,
35:44and I've been thinking about all the things
35:46I want to do in 2022.
35:48And of course, Jackass Forever comes out February 4th,
35:51and I'm happy about that.
35:52But I want to do something else, something big.
35:56That's right, I want to make a run for the Rumble.
35:59I am talking about the WWE's Royal Rumble.
36:0330 men enter, one guy is left standing, that's me.
36:08But I sincerely hope you are auditioning bigger,
36:11tougher talent for the 2022 Royal Rumble,
36:13because I don't want to hurt anyone.
36:15So, just like the shirt says,
36:18Johnny Knoxville, world champ.
36:21Woo-hoo!
36:23Now this is a man who's done some crazy things,
36:27but I think he's bitten off more than he can chew, Corey.
36:30Johnny Knoxville, I'm a big fan,
36:31but you better start praying now,
36:33because we have 28 days before the road
36:35to WrestleMania begins.
36:37St. Louis, Missouri, the Dome and America's Center,
36:40it's the Royal Rumble.
36:42But up next.
36:44We have a main event even we cannot believe
36:48for the WWE Championship, a Fatal Five way.
36:52Kevin Owens, Big E, that's right,
36:55Seth Frickin' Rollins, Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar.
37:10I am, without question, the biggest threat
37:14to the WWE Champion.
37:17It's mine, WWE Championship.
37:20He's just holding it for me until day one.
37:23You could not be more wrong about your day one predictions.
37:28Everyone must acknowledge
37:32that we are living in the almighty era.
37:37Fatal four way at day one.
37:39Lashley and Big E, Owens and Rollins
37:42fighting for the same WWE Championship.
37:45And remember that WWE Champion does not have to be defeated
37:48to lose his title.
37:53Oh, y'all are too much.
37:56Since becoming WWE Champion,
37:59it appears that a lot of people have their eyes on me.
38:06But please believe that I plan on kicking off 2022
38:10with a bang and retaining my WWE Championship.
38:16It's on, sucker.
38:19โช Steppin' Dick Urena, we ain't come to play โช
38:23โช Steppin' to the brain, he don't play no games โช
38:27โช He don't cry, he don't say my name โช
38:31See, this is about me and my story.
38:34This is about knowing that you didn't come this far
38:38to only come this far.
38:42โช Just take a look in my eyes, you see I'm ready to ride โช
38:46โช I was born ready to fight, I've been ready my whole life โช
38:49Big E's wrong.
38:52It's about my story.
38:54I created the perfect plan.
38:57And the next part of my plan is when I win
39:01the WWE Championship.
39:06โช I got nothing to lose, I got nothing to prove โช
39:10โช And I got nothing to lose โช
39:11Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
39:13Classic Kevin Owens trying to take all the credit.
39:18Well, it's all yours, Kev, because day one,
39:22I'm going to take the WWE Championship
39:25because I'm Seth Freaking Rollins.
39:28Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee.
39:30โช You think that you're going to be the winner โช
39:33โช You think that you're ready, but you seem to be so weak โช
39:36Did you think that the Almighty's forgotten about you?
39:40You are very mistaken.
39:43The Almighty will be at day one to wreak absolute havoc.
39:52Man, I've been through hell and back
39:54to get my WWE Championship.
40:02Breaking news, Roman Reigns will not compete
40:06at day one tonight.
40:08And it's official, Big E, Seth Rollins,
40:12Kevin Owens, Bobby Lashley, and the Beast Brock Lesnar
40:16in the Fatal Five-Way Match for the WWE Championship.
40:24The following is a Fatal Five-Way Match.
40:32In this match, all five superstars
40:34will compete at the same time.
40:36There are no count-outs and no disqualifications.
40:39Whoever scores the first pinfall or submission
40:42will be the victor and the WWE Champion!
40:51Burn it down!
40:58If there is one superstar tonight
41:00that I would watch by background,
41:02from Davenport, Iowa, weighing in at 3.8 pounds,
41:07and at 217 pounds,
41:10Seth Freakin' Rollins!
41:15It would be this man, Seth Freakin' Rollins,
41:19the master manipulator, right?
41:21The one who always has a plan.
41:24Will his plan work tonight?
41:26That's the question.
41:27The reality of the situation is, Jimmy,
41:28Seth Rollins earned this opportunity
41:31by outlasting other superstars in a ladder match.
41:35He had a chance at Big E's WWE Championship.
41:38Since then, the field has become more and more full,
41:42week by week, down to the last possible moment
41:45with the addition of Brock Lesnar.
41:47But if anyone walking God's green earth
41:50can defy the odds and achieve the impossible,
41:54it's the visionary, the revolutionary,
41:58Seth Freakin' Rollins!
42:02I hate to admit it, but I do feel
42:03kind of bad for Seth Rollins.
42:05To your point, Corey,
42:06Rollins earned the opportunity to challenge Big E one-on-one.
42:10Now he's gonna face what some would call
42:11instant-out-of-the-box.
42:18Next, from Marieville, Quebec, Canada,
42:20weighing in at 266 pounds,
42:24Kevin Owens!
42:28If bending the truth for an Olympic sport,
42:31Kevin Owens would be a gold medalist.
42:34Kevin Owens, let's be honest,
42:36I am a fan of what Kevin Owens is capable of.
42:39Very well, may be the next WWE Champion,
42:42but Owens lied his way into this position, did he not?
42:45Oh, very well, though.
42:46Kevin Owens said, I'm a scumbag, I'm a liar,
42:49and he lived up to that name.
42:50That's how Kevin Owens kind of wormed his way
42:52into this match.
42:53But he's also a bull in a china shop.
42:56Very, very strong.
42:57We'll see what he can take.
42:58That might be his advantage tonight.
43:02Talk about superstars with an advantage.
43:26Next, accompanying to the ring, my MVP,
43:31the Almighty, Bobby Lashley!
43:38Chiseled from Mount Olympus itself,
43:432022, Atlanta, Georgia,
43:47we may bear witness to the Almighty Era once again.
43:52When I woke up this morning,
43:53I thought this was the physical presence
43:56in the ring for this match.
43:58Am I still right, Mike?
44:01Well, I think that could be attributed
44:02to the attitude of Bobby Lashley.
44:05We heard Bobby Lashley say earlier on tonight,
44:07in reference to Brock Lesnar,
44:09I welcome the addition of The Beast of Time.
44:15In fact, Lashley would go on to say,
44:18I see Brock Lesnar as just another obstacle
44:22on my path to become WWE Champion again.
44:25Perhaps no one knows better than Bobby Lashley.
44:27We've seen a bit of an alliance,
44:29a strategic alliance recently
44:31between Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins.
44:33I'm curious to see how that factors into this matchup.
44:35We all want Bobby Lashley.
44:36To simply keep out Bobby Lashley.
44:38Hey!
44:39Hey!
44:40Hey!
44:41Hey!
44:41Hey!
44:42Hey!
44:43Hey!
44:44Hey!
44:45Hey!
44:46Hey!
44:46Making his way to the ring,
44:48from Tampa, Florida, weighing in at 285 pounds,
44:53he is the WWE Champion again!
44:59Big E!
45:01He was originally supposed to face Seth Rollins,
45:04then a triple threat match with Kevin Owens,
45:06then a fatal four-way,
45:08now the addition of Brock Lesnar.
45:10It's like people have been
45:11writing off the champion for weeks.
45:14Are we looking past it?
45:15Big E is quite literally a man
45:17with everything to lose tonight.
45:20It could be a catastrophic start
45:22to the WWE Champion's year,
45:24if he has to look at day one as the night.
45:26Big E's dream disappeared before our very eyes.
45:30Look what we're seeing right now.
45:31Look at the body language of Big E,
45:33reminding everyone,
45:34I don't care how bad you want my WWE title,
45:37I'm gonna prove you're just a chapter in my story,
45:40because I will enter the ATL with my championship,
45:43and I will lead in the same form.
45:47This could be a career-defining night for Big E.
45:52It would be one of the greatest championship performances
45:55in WWE history,
45:58and we're about to see why.
46:04Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
46:05Oh!
46:07Oh!
46:08Oh!
46:08Oh!
46:09Oh!
46:10Oh!
46:11Oh!
46:12Oh!
46:13Oh!
46:15Oh!
46:16Oh!
46:16Oh!
46:17Oh!
46:18Oh!
46:19Oh!
46:20Oh!
46:21Oh!
46:21Oh!
46:22Oh!
46:23Oh!
46:24Oh!
46:25From Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing in at 286 pounds, Brock Lesnar!
46:47Brock Lesnar was added to this Fatal 5-Way matchup merely hours ago.
46:53None of the other four competitors have had any chance to prepare for
46:58the storm that is The Beast Incarnate.
47:01You have got to imagine, if you are a betting person,
47:04that Lesnar is the odds-on favorite tonight.
47:07Brock Lesnar had it in his mind when he flew to Atlanta, Georgia,
47:12that he would leave with a championship in tow.
47:15He thought it was going to be the universal title, but
47:19now it is Brock Lesnar who is absolutely determined to become once again WWE Champion.
47:26And right, they're going right after him.
47:28This is a smart strategy, everyone realizing the threat presented by Brock Lesnar.
47:33Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, suplex right off the bat.
47:36That game plan just blew up.
47:40Full visitation to Suplex City.
47:43I'm keeping count, that's two apiece, gentlemen.
47:46It's like the D.B. Oski comet strikes early.
47:49This could be the end of civilization on Monday night.
47:53This is the kind of carnage and destruction you expect from Lesnar.
47:57Looking for the F5 already.
47:59And a momentary show of unity.
48:02Another suplex.
48:04Forget the alliance between Owens and Rollins.
48:07Clubbing blow by the WWE Champion.
48:09And Lesnar's rocked.
48:10Yeah, but it's going to take a quick suplex.
48:13Good God.
48:14Big E to remain champion.
48:15Good, Big E.
48:18Big E reminding everyone in the match and the entire world whose ring this is.
48:24Yeah.
48:25Not a man who's fighting intimidated, but right now on the shoulders of the-
48:30We know what that means.
48:31Remember, no disqualification, no count out tonight.
48:36And the Almighty poised, ready to strike.
48:40Oh no.
48:41Oh yes.
48:42Lesnar, the torsion.
48:43Whoa.
48:45Right through the barricade goes Brock Lesnar.
48:49The Almighty just speared the holy hell out of the beast incarnate.
48:54This sold out crowd cannot believe it.
48:57Lesnar is down and it's the handiwork of Bobby Lashley.
49:03I've talked about the carnage that Brock Lesnar could cause,
49:06but let us not forget that very same level of carnage could be-
49:11Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
49:11What's going on right after Kevin Owens?
49:14Kevin Owens, neck breaker.
49:16Oh well, the power of the Almighty as does Seth freaking Rollins.
49:23We wondered if Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens would be a bit of a unit.
49:26They need to be tonight because right now they are physically outmatched.
49:30Well, remember how Bobby Lashley earned entry into this matchup by single
49:34handedly decimating the other three competitors at the time.
49:39A little too much hang time on that suplex and bang, two superkicks.
49:43Superkicks in stereo.
49:45Down goes the Almighty.
49:48Kevin Owens had talked about his master plan to team up with his quote,
49:51best friend, Seth Rollins.
49:53And now what are these two planning?
49:57Looks like they might have Brock in their sights.
49:59A unified front.
50:00Here comes Rollins.
50:02Down goes Lesnar.
50:05And, oh, a huge splash.
50:09270 pounds crashing down across the beast.
50:14Rollins and Owens as a unified front are laying waste.
50:18Look at this once again, the height and the impact.
50:22What did he say?
50:23Fight smarter, not harder.
50:25That's what we're seeing now.
50:26Rollins and Owens still steps in hand.
50:28Oh, they're fighting hard as hell too, Jimmy.
50:30Don't worry about that.
50:32Diamond plate incoming.
50:35Oh, right through the body of Bobby Lashley.
50:39And now turning their attention around to Brock Lesnar.
50:44Not for nothing, I guess you do have to credit the game planning right now
50:47of Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens.
50:49But the two biggest threats right now laid out, gentlemen.
50:52This is a brilliant strategy by the architect, the master strategist.
50:57Get out of the way. Get out of the way, gentlemen.
51:00Rollins and Owens clear the announce desk.
51:03When the stakes are as high as the WWE championship,
51:07the risk knows no bounds.
51:09Great criminal once said,
51:11it's the willingness to do what the other guy won't.
51:14You're only limited by your imagination in this environment.
51:17And Owens now using the column or announce desk.
51:22We are stepping back because I do not know what is about to happen.
51:26We're not going to have to wait long to find out, Jimmy.
51:29Rollins and Owens working together once again,
51:31very effectively to this point,
51:34looking to take the almighty out of the equation.
51:37This will do it.
51:39For a double suplex.
51:40Lashley, Lashley fighting out of it.
51:43Overpowering Rollins and Owens.
51:44Here comes Big E.
51:46Big E now.
51:48Oh my.
51:50Oh!
51:53Our announce desk is no more, gentlemen.
51:56And Big E is all fired up.
51:58Remember who came in as champion?
52:02We forgot, he just reminded you.
52:04Right into a super kick from Kevin Owens.
52:06It is getting nasty on the outside of the ring.
52:10Carnage everywhere.
52:11It's all perfectly legal.
52:13The first man to score a pinfall or submission
52:17becomes WWE champion.
52:19Now Owens and Rollins once again,
52:21turning their attention to Brock Lesnar.
52:23Double DDT.
52:24Guys, this is brilliant strategy by Owens and Rollins.
52:29I'm looking around here.
52:30You got Bobby Lashley laid out.
52:31Brock Lesnar laid out.
52:33You're right, Corey.
52:33It's a union of necessity.
52:35And Big E is all alone against his rivals.
52:38Look at that!
52:39He's down Seth.
52:41Put me in the corner.
52:42There's only one way out.
52:44And that is fight.
52:46Oh!
52:47That's gonna be it.
52:49Oh!
52:51Kick out by Big E.
52:52And just like that, this match could end.
52:55Kevin Owens down, making the climb to the top rope.
52:58Big E down and potentially out.
53:01This will do it.
53:02Owens!
53:03Oh!
53:04Right into the knees of Big E.
53:05But Seth Rollins!
53:07Rollins can do it.
53:08Lift the leg!
53:09Oh!
53:10Big E somehow survives.
53:13But he just cannot stay in the ring
53:15against these two superstars.
53:17Owens and Rollins have done a masterful job
53:20of working in unison.
53:22Here we go.
53:23Of working in unison.
53:24Here we see Big E with the knees up
53:26just in time to stop Owens.
53:28But not Seth freakin' Rollins.
53:32Rollins now the only one standing
53:34in this Fatal 5-Way WWE Championship matchup.
53:39I gotta agree with the crowd.
53:40This is awesome.
53:41And almost amazingly,
53:43both Lashley and Lesnar have been neutralized.
53:47And it is Seth freakin' Rollins
53:48looking to make the most of his opportunity.
53:51An opportunity that should have been his.
53:53Rolling elbow by Rollins.
53:55And again to the base of the neck.
53:57Oh, Rollins.
53:58Rollins is in position now.
54:01Looking to be the new champion.
54:04Looking for the courtesy of a stomp.
54:06And no!
54:07What?
54:07What did Lesnar take from him?
54:09F5!
54:12Big E!
54:14Two in a row!
54:15One for the champion!
54:17Now can we see-
54:18Owens wants a stunner.
54:20A third perhaps?
54:24Three in a row, gentlemen!
54:26I thought Lesnar was out!
54:29Oh!
54:30Oh!
54:31Oh!
54:31Oh!
54:32Oh!
54:33Oh!
54:34Oh!
54:35And Lesnar kicks out of a Lashley Spear!
54:38Wow!
54:39Unbelievable!
54:41Two forces of nature colliding in the ring
54:45for the WWE Championship.
54:48Lesnar looked unstoppable,
54:50but the Almighty had other plans.
54:53How exhausted must Brock Lesnar be?
54:56Three F5s in a row!
54:57Hurt Lock!
54:58Hurt Lock!
54:59Bobby Lashley is gonna make Brock Lesnar submit!
55:03Lashley said he would do it!
55:04He's got it locked!
55:06The Hurt Lock is in!
55:08Lashley has Lesnar!
55:09The Beast is fading!
55:11This would be incredible for Bobby Lashley
55:14to win the WWE Championship!
55:15He's on his way!
55:16What is happening?
55:18Lesnar beginning to fade!
55:20Well, we see the tap from Brock Lesnar!
55:24How much does Lesnar have?
55:26And Big E saving his own championship, to be honest.
55:30Big E!
55:33Now for Lesnar!
55:35Yes!
55:36Oh, Brock got a little escape by Brock!
55:38Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh!
55:40And an F5 for Big E!
55:42He lands head first!
55:45That's it!
55:46He's your winner, and the new WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar!
56:02And he took it from the waist of the champion, Big E!
56:06Brock Lesnar was determined to leave day one
56:10with a championship!
56:12And as surreal as it sounds, gentlemen,
56:15Brock Lesnar is once again WWE Champion!
56:21The free agent who came into tonight
56:24expecting to challenge Roman Reigns
56:26for the Universal Champion,
56:28called an audible at the last moment,
56:32and we are beginning the year of our Lord, 2022,
56:37being thrust back into the era of the Beast Incarnate,
56:43Brock Lesnar, WWE Champion!
56:47This man came in and absolutely wiped out the field!
56:52I've never seen a performance like that!
56:55The carnage, the chaos, and the aftermath
56:59is the Beast Incarnate as WWE Champion!
57:04With what, a few hours' notice?
57:08A few hours' notice!
57:12Look at what Brock Lesnar endured!
57:15Look what Brock Lesnar survived!
57:17A spear through the barricade
57:20from the almighty Bobby Lashley!
57:23But then, after a series of F5s
57:28for everyone that moved,
57:30a spear from Bobby Lashley surely ended this, right?
57:35Not when you're dealing with Brock Lesnar!
57:40And then it would be Big E who would muscle up
57:42the frame of Lesnar, only for Lesnar to respond,
57:46as he had several times early on, F5,
57:49but this time to secure the WWE title!
57:55There are history-making performances.
57:58I don't care what your sport is,
58:00I don't care what form of sport entertainment you love,
58:03that was one of them right now!
58:05Brock Lesnar came, Brock Lesnar saw,
58:09Brock Lesnar delivered.
58:12But you have to wonder what a man by the name of Roman Reigns
58:16is thinking in this very moment,
58:19the man who was ready for battle with the Beast!
58:25But right now, the WWE Universe left with no choice,
58:30but to kneel before the throne of the WWE Champion,
58:36the Beast Incarnate!
58:38Brock Lesnar!
58:40โชโชโช
