00:00.
00:22The last time WrestleMania was in Las Vegas was WrestleMania 9 at Caesar's Palace.
00:29And I was 16 years old.
00:33Here we are today at Allegiant Stadium for WrestleMania 41.
00:39And my middle daughter is 16 years old.
00:43WWE has always been a part of my life,
00:49which includes all of you.
00:52You are a part of my family, because WWE is family.
01:01And I am so incredibly proud to say, welcome home.
01:06And welcome to night two of WrestleMania.
01:15Thank you very much, Stephanie McMahon.
01:26And we welcome you to WrestleMania Sunday.
01:38And hello again, everybody.
01:39Welcome to ringside.
01:40Michael Cole, Pat McAfee, and Wade Barrett.
01:42How was your debut at the commentary desk at WrestleMania last night?
01:46What an absolute honor, I lost my WrestleMania virginity last night.
01:50But hold on, a man who has been around the block numerous times.
01:56Michael Cole appearing as an announcer at his 28th WrestleMania,
02:01which is a record, Michael.
02:03Congratulations, that's incredible.
02:04Thank you, guys, hopefully I got a few more left in me.
02:06But also here tonight, the Spanish commentator, Latona.
02:09Head over to Marcelo Rodriguez and Jerry Soto.
02:11It's about to be a family story, and this night John Cena could do this
02:14by leaving Las Vegas with 17 World Championships.
02:17What happened tonight, what happened today,
02:19we're going to be talking about this for decades.
02:21So enjoy WrestleMania.
02:23How are you?
02:24Yes.
02:25Yes.
02:26I didn't know you knew Spanish.
02:30Yes.
02:31I don't fight to start tonight.
02:41The Wins World Champion, Io Scott, who has never won at WrestleMania,
02:50but an opportunity to knock off two of the best tonight.
02:57That's what it's all about right there.
03:00That championship she has earned.
03:04She's going to have to hold on to tonight as two of the greatest in the history of professional wrestling.
03:12You notice that statistic, 3-0 in triple threat matches in her career.
03:16That's important, Wade, because under triple threat rules, there is no advantage for the champion.
03:22Yeah, it's pretty much the worst nightmare of any champion having to defend in this scenario.
03:28It's one thing losing your title to a better woman.
03:31It's another thing entirely losing your title when you're not factored into the finish of the match whatsoever.
03:37This is the kind of match as a jump you avoid at all costs, but fair play to Io Sky.
03:42She took it on the chin and she's ready for combat.
03:44You know, Pat, last year at WrestleMania, Io Sky lost the WWE Women's Championship to Bayley.
03:49Does that weigh on her mind coming into this match tonight?
03:51Obviously, you have to have thoughts of yesterday's nightmares every once in a while, but she feels like she's a new Io Sky coming into this WrestleMania.
03:59She is our champion.
04:00She has had to retain it against Rhea, and obviously Bianca's been waiting.
04:04But whenever you think about everybody forgetting about her, she could utilize that as motivation to come out here on the grandest stage.
04:11And she will have a large contingent supporting her tonight in Las Vegas.
04:18Cement her legacy as a champ tonight in Las Vegas.
04:23And our kickoff match here tonight on WrestleMania Sunday is presented by Minute Maid.
04:32Bring the juice.
04:48There's a buzz in here, Cole, isn't there?
04:50I'm on my own against the wall.
05:02The pressure's blowing, but I will never fall.
05:05Instead of crying, they hear me roar.
05:08And now I see that I'm way better than before.
05:10I never needed you.
05:11And now I see that I'm way better than before.
05:12I never needed you.
05:13And now I see that I'm way better than before.
05:14I never needed you.
05:15Well, you hear the reaction, ladies and gentlemen, for Bianca Belair here tonight.
05:19And there is a reason for that.
05:21Bianca Belair, Pat alluded to this earlier, has really played a key role in the story of Io Sky defeating Rhea Ripley to win the World Championship and then a special guest referee a few weeks later.
05:33I'll put it this way, if you win the Elimination Chamber, as Belair did, and you earn yourself a championship opportunity against whoever the champ may be, you expect a one-on-one match.
05:45This is not that.
05:46This has got a lot harder for Belair, so I get why she's agreeing.
05:49And this is emotional for Bianca as well.
05:51That is her stepdaughter enjoying this entrance with Bianca Belair, who is a stellar record at WrestleMania.
05:59She comes in at 4-1, but then one loss was in a battle royale.
06:03Bianca Belair has always shined on the big stage.
06:08Remember the matchup with Sasha Banks in the main event a number of years ago here at WrestleMania.
06:13Will this night once again belong to Bianca Belair?
06:17Double touch happening in the back with nothing short of impressive, which is everything that revolves around Bianca Belair, the EST of the WWE.
06:28The toughest, the strongest, the quickest, the baddest, and tonight she beats two other people and walk out of here with the title.
06:36Yeah, normally at this point, nerves are sky high, I'd argue, with the competitors in this opening triple threat match, though.
06:44They've all been here before, they've all done it before, they've all had massive success on this kind of stage in the past.
06:51Nerves may be at an all-time low for a match of this magnitude.
06:55Michael Cole, can you spell WrestleMania without the letters E, S, or T?
07:01No, not at all.
07:02Bianca Belair, however, in her career has struggled against both Io Sky and Rhea Ripley.
07:08So let's see how that plays out here tonight.
07:11A lot of roses there.
07:16Hey guys, let's check out the Minute Maid juice box, where fans will be bringing the juice all night long.
07:28They're squeezing every ounce of energy into WrestleMania.
07:31And what's this?
07:32We got the Minute Maid mascot bringing even more juice, literally.
07:36Watch out, guys.
07:37He's not playing around.
07:39Let this serve as a reminder.
07:40When every day feels like a Monday, bring the juice.
07:44The juice.
07:45Watch out, guys.
07:46That's something Michael Cole would say.
07:48The juice box.
07:50He's gotta be better than that loser from Pittsburgh, Iceberg.
07:53Whoa!
07:54Iceberg probably enjoys some juice boxes, and shout out to the juice box.
07:59WrestleMania juice is one that is needed and appreciated.
08:06This place is amazing.
08:14This is my mentality!
08:16This is my mentality!
08:28I'm ECB.
08:30The demons in your dreams.
08:32ECB.
08:33Listen to this ovation.
08:58I asked Rhea Ripley what WrestleMania means to her.
09:02She told me, hold, because Rhea Ripley has been a part of every WrestleMania since
09:09the year 2020.
09:11She's had incredible moments at this big event.
09:16And tonight, Rhea Ripley plans to regain her world championship.
09:22You know, Pat, we had, we're on the Pat McAfee Show this past Friday.
09:26And we talked about this in the countdown show.
09:28The one thing we've learned about Rhea is the maturation of Rhea Ripley over the past
09:32couple of years, and the word confidence now comes to mind.
09:36Yeah, confidence in who she is.
09:38She said she's resorted to her true self, her most authentic Rhea Ripley.
09:44And with confidence comes comfort.
09:45And when you have comfort at the biggest stages, that's when the championship title
09:50comes back home, Mami is poised to leave Vegas with her title.
09:57And I don't think anybody would be surprised.
09:59From Riot City Wrestling in her homeland of Australia, to a dojo in Japan.
10:08To playing soccer, and karate, and swimming.
10:12To making the trek to the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
10:17To becoming an NXT UK champion.
10:19Back to the States to dominate WWE.
10:23It has been an incredible career drive for Rhea Ripley.
10:29She's an anomaly from Australia.
10:32And tonight, she's back on the biggest stage in SportsCenter 10.
10:38Let's kick things off for the great, Alisha Taylor.
10:43The following contest is a triple threat match.
10:52And it is for the Women's World Championship.
11:00Introducing first, the challengers.
11:07Next, from Knoxville, Tennessee, Bianca Belair.
11:20Next, from Adelaide, Sal Hussain.
11:36Australia, Rhea Ripley.
11:41And their opponent, representing Damage Control from Tokyo, Japan.
11:51And their opponent, representing Damage Control from Tokyo, Japan.
12:04Japan.
12:05She is the Women's World Champion, Io Sky.
12:18The champion Io Sky with an incredible record against Bianca Belair and is also undefeated
12:22in her career against Rhea Ripley.
12:23Tonight, defends the championship in a triple threat match.
12:26And remember, ladies and gentlemen, this is how the rules work.
12:29First woman to gain pinfall submission will become the world champion.
12:32There are no count outs.
12:33There are no disqualifications.
12:35And Wade, that means Io Sky does not have to be involved in the decision to lose her title tonight.
12:41Yeah, absolutely not.
12:42It's a trepidatious time for a champion in a triple threat matchup like this.
12:46But Io Sky may have a major advantage.
12:50There is real bitterness between Belair and Rhea Ripley that has developed over the past couple of months.
12:56And they could take each other out.
12:58That's where Io Sky benefits.
13:00To your point, it's starting right now, yet again.
13:02And Io Sky is, I told you, she's no longer gonna be thought of as an afterthought.
13:07And Io Sky starting things off against Rhea and Bianca Belair.
13:11And now, Rhea and Bianca go after one another.
13:13Io Sky now looking to pick up the pace.
13:15And there's the power of Belair.
13:17Although, Io Sky wants to get into a power game.
13:20Boom!
13:21Great Verana from Io Sky.
13:24And now Io showing off some of her athleticism.
13:28Nice drop kick drops Bianca Belair.
13:30And a drop kick of Rhea Ripley.
13:32And we are underway in a fast-paced start for the women's world title.
13:36Everybody's kinda getting a taste of what this is about to be.
13:42Now, Rhea and Bianca square off yet again.
13:45Io out of the equation momentarily.
13:47To show you the power advantage of Rhea Ripley there.
13:50One drop kick and it has completely wiped out Io Sky.
13:53And turn this effectively into a one-on-one match.
13:56Which is exactly what Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair have wanted all along.
14:00Yeah, a couple of waistlock takedowns showing off their power.
14:02Io Sky's okay with Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley beating hell out of each other a little bit here.
14:07Well, this is the small thing.
14:08This is what Io should have done all along.
14:10Step back in that opening onslaught.
14:12Let these two rip each other to shreds.
14:14Yeah, but she wants to show the world how good she is, Wade.
14:18And a nice kip up by Bianca Belair.
14:21Rhea Ripley's got some history in this stadium.
14:24Back in 2021 at SummerSlam, she was involved in a triple threat match for a world title that she had recently lost.
14:32Back in the same scenario, same stadium tonight.
14:38Belair now.
14:39Bianca Belair so quick.
14:41Taking advantage of those freak genetics that the EST has shown us many times before.
14:47SEC Championship DNA beating the hell out of Io Sky and Rhea Ripley right now.
14:56Io slips out from underneath.
14:57They're going to try to take advantage of that long braid by Bianca.
15:02We've seen that used as a weapon.
15:04It can also be a detriment.
15:07Into the corner, Bianca kicking her way out.
15:10Heel first to the nose of Rhea Ripley.
15:13My goodness, double blockbuster.
15:17Covered out by Io, stacks up both women and a kick out.
15:20What an exclamation point that would have been on this defense had she pinned both women simultaneously.
15:27That was a double blockbuster, did you say?
15:29Basement drop kick as well by Sky.
15:32And now Io targeting Bianca Belairio, launched out to the apron.
15:36And Bianca sending the champ into the turnbuckle.
15:39Rhea Ripley with a kick drives Bianca outside the rim.
15:41That's two kicks that have sent competitors outside of the ring by Rhea Ripley.
15:45So much power.
15:46And Rhea now can't go off the apron and take out Bianca.
15:49Remember, no count outs or disqualifications.
15:53Io Sky, the genius of the Sky, gonna fly and takes out Rhea at the table.
15:58Picture perfect Io Sky flying at WrestleMania.
16:03Io Sky so reckless with her own body.
16:06The genius of the Sky doing what she does best.
16:10Now, moments prior to that, that was Rhea Ripley once again having laser focus exclusively on Bianca Belair and taking her eye off the champ.
16:20Roll through by Io.
16:21No!
16:22Stopped right to the gut of Rhea.
16:23You know, one thing I've noticed guys in the early going cover now by Sky.
16:26Hook to the leg and a kick out of two.
16:27It is much warmer in their stadium tonight than it was last night.
16:31Will that have any effect on the performers, Pat?
16:33Yeah, the sun certainly has its fastball.
16:35We are in the desert.
16:36It does feel like it's hotter earlier than it was last night.
16:39But this match could be the reasoning for it.
16:41Io Sky now rolling up Bianca Belair who's gotta kick out at two.
16:45Fast-paced matchup in the early going.
16:48Who does that favor with?
16:49Well, in the temperatures like this, endurance does become an issue.
16:53And I will personally always back Bianca Belair, the uber athlete in a scenario of pure endurance.
17:01And now Bianca Belair.
17:02High speed though, you gotta think Io's happy about that.
17:04Yeah, nice suplex by Bianca.
17:06What if it goes to a power game?
17:07Floats through into another suplex.
17:09Bianca Belair showing off her power here.
17:12The EST marching around the ring with a vertical suplex to Io Sky into a Kipa.
17:20Talking about Sean Offey.
17:22How could you boo that?
17:24You're booing greatness if that's the case.
17:27The EST taking over Sun Si.
17:31Never mind, spoke too quickly.
17:33Rhea Ripley says, enough of that.
17:35Belair showing out a little too much there with Io Sky down.
17:39Allowing Rhea Ripley an opportunity back into the fight.
17:42Oh!
17:43Io got caught!
17:45Bianca Belair, oof!
17:47Like Juan Soto, swinging a bat.
17:50Well, Vegas gonna have a baseball team here in a couple of years.
17:52Yeah, good night champ.
17:54Stadium just to be down the street.
17:57Brief moment of cohesion there from Rhea bloody Ripley and Bianca Belair.
18:02Again, we're back to that one-on-one match, which these two have desired so badly.
18:08Rhea Ripley now gonna show off her power to Belair.
18:10Belair will land on her feet.
18:12Nice waist lock to Rhea.
18:15Rhea, of course, completely blames Bianca Belair for losing the championship to Sky in the first place after Belair was a distraction at ringside.
18:24And Rhea now lifting up Io Sky onto her shoulder up top.
18:28Razor's X into Bianca Belair.
18:31The human missile Io Sky.
18:34Covered by Rhea.
18:35Hook of the leg for the win.
18:37Kick out by Io at two.
18:39Thought that was it.
18:40Bianca Belair taken out by the Razor's Edge Javelin from Rhea Ripley.
18:46And somehow Io Sky keeps this match rolling.
18:50Now Rhea Ripley really starting to show that physical dominance she has over at almost all.
18:55Nice take down by Rhea Ripley.
18:59Turns things around now and she's in full control of Io Sky's legs.
19:04She's looking for the prism lock.
19:06Submission move used by Rhea Ripley.
19:08Can she get the champ to tap?
19:10If she does, it's over.
19:12And Rhea will be the champion of Bianca Belair though from behind.
19:15And again, the inherent danger of the triple threat matchup power by Belair.
19:20Up on her shoulders.
19:22Bianca, Rhea lands on her feet.
19:24Nice deep arm drag.
19:26The trainer.
19:27Missed with the big boot.
19:28Face first.
19:31Both.
19:36Both had the same idea.
19:38Both faces getting spiked off the ring.
19:46Absolutely incredible.
19:48Io Sky, the first back to her feet.
19:50Bianca and Rhea both down in the corner.
19:54Now, the bullet train attack by Io Sky, both to Rhea and Bianca.
19:59Bianca might distract each other too much.
20:02Now Io Sky is taking advantage.
20:04Io Sky says, that's it Cole.
20:09Making a point, this division revolves around me.
20:13And now gonna put this one to bed.
20:15Rhea now gonna meet Io up top.
20:17Bianca Belair gonna get involved as well.
20:21It's a dangerous situation for all three.
20:28Love it!
20:29Io!
20:30Somehow landed on her face.
20:32Rhea and Bianca down as well.
20:35Critical moment Wade in this match.
20:37Well, Bianca Belair was the chief instigator in that car crash.
20:42From the top and the second rope.
20:44But Belair took a nasty landing herself.
20:47Io Sky clearly getting the worst of this.
20:50But now all three women laid out.
20:53With the title hanging in the balance.
20:56Indeed it is.
20:59As we begin WrestleMania Sunday.
21:01With a Women's World Championship hanging in the balance.
21:05All three women showing up and showing out when it really counts.
21:09Who's gonna survive this and become our champion?
21:13Bianca not allowing Rhea to get back to her feet at least momentarily.
21:16Sold out tonight at the Legion Stadium.
21:18Rhea Ripley with a forearm.
21:20Bianca with one as well.
21:23Nice drop down by Bianca Belair.
21:25And Rhea.
21:27Ducks up in the leaf bog and just kicks Bianca out of the boots.
21:31Asso.
21:32Io Sky with a missile drop kick.
21:34Kick off flip off Io Sky.
21:39The champ brings the WWE fans to their feet.
21:43Bianca blasted Io out of the air.
21:47The biggest risk in this kind of matchup is admiring your own handiwork.
21:53Io Sky getting lit up by this massive audience backing her to the helm.
21:58And of course Bianca Belair was ready to pass.
22:01But again Pat, that shows Bianca's experience in this type of matchup.
22:05She was waiting for Io Sky to be distracted.
22:07Whether it was giving herself flowers or looking another way.
22:10Spears her out of Vegas.
22:12Bianca shooting star.
22:14Cover down.
22:15Hook of the leg and Rhea with a running knee.
22:17Connected with that 450 splash there Cole.
22:19But I get the point.
22:20Dangerously effective guy.
22:22Cover now by Rhea.
22:23Stacks up Bianca for the championship.
22:25And a kick out.
22:27Rhea cannot believe it.
22:29Kicking out of a riptide.
22:31This is Bianca Belair finding a whole new level.
22:36Io Sky thought she had it.
22:38Bianca Belair spears her out of Las Vegas.
22:41And you're right Wade, this is a 450 delivered by Bianca Belair.
22:45And then Rhea Ripley with a riptide to Bianca.
22:48We thought it was over here and a kick out by Belair.
22:51And that is the highest stack pin possible after the heaviest artillery in this woman's arsenal.
22:58If it didn't work, where the hell do you go from here Ripley?
23:01Rhea's gonna turn her attention out of the champion Io Sky after Bianca rolled out of the ring.
23:06Io just so happens to be the closest competitor.
23:08Maybe another one.
23:09Looking for another riptide now to the champion.
23:11Rhea Ripley.
23:12Oh, nice.
23:13Turn around.
23:14Rhea on her head.
23:15Great counter.
23:16That DDT by Sky.
23:19Incredible flexibility.
23:21Io now.
23:22Oh, ran right into a kick.
23:23What a move by Ripley.
23:25It was like a capoeira kick right to the temple of the genius of the Sky who is groggy.
23:31Propped up gingerly against the ropes and now in the worst position possible.
23:36What the hell is Ripley cooking up here?
23:38Io Sky's dazed, confused, and about to be broken.
23:43Io above the top rope.
23:45Rhea Ripley glancing out into the sellout crowd.
23:48Rhea.
23:49Oh, what a counter by Io Sky.
23:53Countering a massive riptide.
23:56Sky, top rope.
23:58Genius in the sky.
24:00Five.
24:01Oh, and Rhea.
24:03Got the boots up.
24:06And Beyonce taught her.
24:08KOD.
24:09Kiss of death.
24:10Belair.
24:11Ripley breaking things up.
24:14What action.
24:17Four fifties and riptides.
24:20In the end.
24:21The KODs.
24:23Over the moonsault was supposed to be it.
24:26Rhea gets her boots up.
24:28Perfectly timed.
24:29Io Sky rolls right into a KOD.
24:33That's supposed to be one, two, three.
24:38And Staglia Ripley breaks it up for these.
24:42This is an instant classic to start WrestleMania Sunday.
24:47Oh, hats off.
24:48The mental sharpness of Ripley there was just so, so good.
24:53Nothing pretty about it, like a defensive end slapping someone down.
24:58And now Belair, talking trash to Rhea.
25:05Bianca all worked up, and Rhea Ripley's heard enough.
25:08And now the slugfest underway.
25:10That was a big right by Bianca.
25:25Completely wobbled the knees of Ripley, who's still game to fight.
25:29Now Bianca, out to the apron.
25:33Ripley clock.
25:34Oh God.
25:35The piece of this really has boiled over now, Cole.
25:38These are massive shots being thrown here, late in the match.
25:41Both women here looking completely reinvigorated as they throw the heavy leather.
25:48And now Rhea dragging Bianca up toward the top rope.
25:52Bianca looking to block.
25:54Two of the most powerful women in the game going at it high above the ring.
25:57He ain't right still.
26:02Headbutt by Rhea, drops Bianca to the floor.
26:06It's about the worst place Bianca could have fallen for Rhea Ripley.
26:09Io Sky now.
26:13Uppercut there.
26:14Whoa.
26:15Io gonna do here from the top rope.
26:17Io Sky fired up once again.
26:21And look at Rhea, the power of Ripley trying to hang on.
26:25Oh my God.
26:26First off the post goes Sky.
26:29Did you guys hear that?
26:30Attempted a poison runner up the second rope, but now.
26:33Belair now with Ripley up top.
26:37Oh no.
26:39Countered the KOD.
26:40Rhea laid it on her feet.
26:42Well this has degenerated into a hockey fight with headbutts at her.
26:48Wait a minute.
26:49Ripley.
26:50Went for the riptide.
26:51Countered by Belair.
26:52Bianca.
26:53Oh my goodness.
26:54Oh no.
26:55Oh no.
26:56Oh no.
26:57Oh no.
26:58You see the brain is a weapon.
27:00KOD by Belair.
27:02For the win.
27:04Io Sky.
27:05Io Sky over the moonsault.
27:08Cover on Belair.
27:10Sky wins.
27:11Io Sky wins.

27:16And still, the women's world champion, Io Sky.
27:27What a match.
27:30What a win.
27:33For Io Sky.
27:38Ladies and gentlemen, an afterthought no more.
27:44Io Sky retains her world championship on the grand stage of WrestleMania.
27:52And wait, we thought this was in Rio.
27:55Well that was about a 20 minute highlight reel of a match.
27:58Where do you choose the replays from?
28:00There's so many options.
28:01But this was the moment.
28:03Belair.
28:04Whipping the hell out of Rhea Ripley.
28:07Was tasting victory.
28:09Up for the rip tie.
28:10Connected so sweetly.
28:12Stacking a pin.
28:13And with perfect timing.
28:15The over the moonsault breaking up.
28:17And Bianca Belair eats it.
28:20Io Sky.
28:21The third wheel in this entire build up.
28:26Proves that this division revolves around the genius of the Sky.
28:31The genius of the Sky hits the over the moonsault to break up the pin.
28:35Then smoothly goes in for the cover.
28:37One, two, three.
28:38What a brilliant display by Io Sky.
28:43Our champion coming in.
28:45And our champion walking out of WrestleMania.
28:48Also Pat, what a brilliant display by Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair in this match tonight.
28:54This is awesome chance scattered throughout the entirety.
28:59An instant classic to kick off WrestleMania Sunday.

31:46It's all led to this.
31:47A Sin City street fight between the Archer of Intime and the Scottish Warrior.
31:51Cool Rebel in the Chaos.
31:52Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre score up next.
31:55Here is the year long journey that has cultivated this rivalry.
31:59You screwed me this whole year to get rid of every one of my moments.
32:08I have nothing more than making real life a living one.
32:18For the longest time, I was so focused on the individuals right in front of me.
32:23I didn't realize that somebody was benefiting every time I got screwed.
32:34WrestleMania 40, Drew McIntyre defeats Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship.
32:40A moment absolutely perfect until it wasn't.
32:45Damian Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase, robbing me of my moment.
32:49But it doesn't end there, does it?
33:00Clash of the Castle, Money in the Bank, Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber.
33:07Avoid my tension.
33:09You've got it.
33:10This isn't about the World Championships.
33:19You took that from me.
33:21This is about putting you down for good.
33:25So that you can never take anything from me again.
33:29I have nothing more than making real life a living one.
33:35Drew McIntyre, the victim.
33:37No holes in your logic, right?
33:41You're a hypocrite.
33:42You make excuses.
33:44You bitch and complain.
33:45And you point your finger at everybody else other than yourself.
33:49You don't have to paint me as the villain of your story anymore.
33:54I am your villain.
33:55I want you to stop playing the victim and become my victim at WrestleMania.
34:06The time to play is now, Drew.
34:09All I asked for was for you to verbally explain to me how I'm wrong.
34:19Maybe face me like a man.
34:22I'm a dreamer.
34:25Call me crazy.
34:27No, you did what you always do.
34:30You hid in the shadows.
34:31From underneath, I'll start to rise.
34:36The shards of glass wet in my eye, and I might never be the same.
34:40I'm not afraid to play with fire.
34:45This match is a year in the making.
35:01You're not ready for this fight.
35:03At WrestleMania, I'm bringing the punishment.
35:06And I'm gonna bury you.
35:07I'm not afraid to play with fire.
35:11You're 100% screwed.
35:15I'm gonna give you the beating of a lifetime at WrestleMania.
35:23I'm not afraid to play with fire.
35:37I'm not sure.
35:38I want you to rest on this fight.
35:41There you go.
35:42pimping她.
35:44I'm not afraid to ignore.
35:46I feel an introduce myself by it.
35:48We wouldn't necessarily want you to be a dreamer.
35:50You're a dreamer.
35:52There you go.
35:54You don't need a dreamer.
35:56It's an interlude antigo.
35:58You're entirely here.
35:59You're very confused.
36:00You're a dreamer.
36:02You're a dreamer.
36:04You're much gw remarried.
37:05275 pounds, Drew McIntyre.
37:15It is only appropriate that this rivalry comes to us tonight as a Sin City street fight.
37:23The hatred wave between these two men is incredible.
37:28Yeah, well Drew McIntyre's mindset over the past several months has been one of victimhood.
37:34He argues that Damian Priest has cheap-shotted him numerous times over the past 12 months,
37:39of course, starting last year at WrestleMania.
37:43When Priest questioned his Senor Money in the Bank contract on the new at the time,
37:49champ Drew McIntyre.
37:51And it's got worse from there.
37:53McIntyre is out for severe vengeance tonight.
37:56We have sacrificed numerous security guards over the past several weeks.
38:01We don't need it tonight.
38:02All bets are off.
38:03No holds barred.
38:04Sin City street fight.
38:06You and I were in the middle of the kickoff show just a couple of days ago.
38:10And these two have been trying to get their hands on to each other for a long time.
38:14And tonight, it's an all-you-can-eat buffet of physicality.
38:19Street fight in Las Vegas.
38:22Do you know the things that happen on the streets of Las Vegas?
38:26It's alive.
38:27The possibilities are endless on the Sin City streets,
38:32let alone whenever there's a fight to be had between two men that can't stand each other.
38:40And this match tonight is brought to you by Doom, the Dark Ages rated mature.
38:45Stand and fight is the unstoppable Doom Slayer in a minute Evil War against Hell.
38:50Available May 15th on Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5, PC, pre-order now.
39:00Bruce Rowan, all his Doom gear out right now.
39:06He was dressed as Doom Slayer, I believe.
39:09Well, there's Doom Guy, Doom Slayer, there's Samuel Hayden, Khan Makir, and D-Grawl.
39:18The Dark Lord will get you every once in a while, but Hell Knight's a problem.
39:24Doom Slayer can really kick some ass, if you know what I'm saying.
39:28You're quite the gamer, like I said last night.
39:33Oh, the Cock-A-Demon.
39:35The what?
39:36The Cock-A-Demon.
39:38The Cock-A-Demon?
39:40That's right, Doom.
39:42Yesterday it was Packer, today it's Cock-A-Demon.
39:45Whatever next, Pat.
39:46Right now.
39:47Oh.
39:58Don't have the bike.
39:59Don't have the bike.
40:00Don't have the bike.
40:01Oh.
40:03Oh.
40:05Oh.
40:07Oh.
40:09Oh.
40:11Oh.
40:12Oh.
40:13Oh.
40:14Oh.
40:15Oh.
40:16Oh.
40:18Oh.
40:19Oh.
40:20My face is melting top!
40:50My face is melting top!
41:20And his opponent, from New York City, weighted at 249 pounds.
41:50Damien Priest!
41:54How incredible is Kerry King of Slayer?
41:57He's touring globally as a solo artist and reuniting with the legendary metal band Slayer.
42:03We're back for select shows across the US and the UK, including one concert hosted by Damien Priest himself.
42:12Damien Priest with a Slayer guitar solo to lead him into WrestleMania.
42:21Into a street fight against Drew McIntyre.
42:26Has to be feeling like a professional wrestling god right now.
42:31There's a complete shift in the expression of Damien Priest.
42:36Once he gave that quick nod to Kerry King.
42:39Now laser focus on complete destruction of his opponent tonight, Drew McIntyre.
42:45A lot of celebrities front row might be their first time experiencing this.
42:58Yes, Slayer brought out Damien Priest with ten foot high flames.
43:04And yes, this is WrestleMania.
43:07And yes, this is WrestleMania.
43:11The
43:13And yes, this is WrestleMania.
43:14The
43:37This is a street fight.
43:52Anything goes.
43:53You only win via pinfall or submission.
43:55And McIntyre wasted little time going after Priest.
43:58Bell's underway.
43:59And here we go.
44:01Dan Angler, the official in this matchup.
44:04McIntyre misses wildly.
44:05Priest sends him over the top rope.
44:06And this is going to be an ugly one, folks.
44:09And I mean that in a great way.
44:11Priest now with elbow takes out McIntyre.
44:14Anything goes here in this Sin City street fight.
44:17Priest with a big time right.
44:19Well, McIntyre gave it his best shot at that jumpstart.
44:22When that doesn't work and your opponent is immediately back on top,
44:27it may be time for panic stations for the big Scotsman.
44:30And again, McIntyre cashed in money at the bank at WrestleMania last year
44:34on Drew McIntyre, who had held the title for just over five minutes.
44:37Clash at the castle.
44:39McIntyre once again got stalled by Priest and then eliminated by Priest.
44:47And now a suplex on the steel ramp.
44:51Yeah, not only that, Damian Priest also eliminated McIntyre in the Elimination Chamber this year.
44:57It has been an anus horribilis for Drew McIntyre, and it's all been caused by Damian Priest.
45:04That is why Priest is gonna be made a victim here tonight in the mind of McIntyre.
45:09McIntyre also the veteran at WrestleMania.
45:11This is his 12th WrestleMania match.
45:13Priest has now been involved in four over the years.
45:16McIntyre's gonna find a reason to hate anybody.
45:18Certainly a guy who thinks the world is working against him.
45:22And now it's a steel stare that Damian Priest hits off his face.
45:26Bong through McIntyre's jaw says hello to some stares.
45:32And now McIntyre stalking, I should say Priest stalking McIntyre.
45:37Damian Priest now dragging McIntyre into the barricade.
45:42Ribs first.
45:43Almost hitting Wade here behind the hydration station.
45:50And Priest is thinking table time.
45:52Well, we're about two minutes deep into this one, and both men already put through the ringer.
45:57But clearly Priest has had the upper hand.
45:59Oh!
46:00Had the upper hand.
46:02McIntyre with a right now bouncing Priest.
46:05Chest first off the steps.
46:06I mean, these two assault.
46:07Oh, now right on top of our table here.
46:11These two both run 270, 280.
46:15Every shot takes so much out of their opponent.
46:19These are big lads.
46:21We want to do big damage to each other.
46:23McIntyre just an angry dude as he glitters the steps off the face of Priest.
46:28Right to the temple of Priest.
46:29And again, Priest knocked to the floor.
46:32This guy's going to have to get his hands up, or he's going to keep eating steel stairs until he doesn't remember tonight.
46:37You can't block that, though, to the spine.
46:41You just have to leave humanity at the door.
46:45It's a question of who is prepared to stoop to the lowest level.
46:50Drew McIntyre is.
46:51You and I both know that.
46:53Well, if that's the truth, Pat, Drew McIntyre is going to win tonight.
46:56Another stare to the spine of Damian Priest.
47:02Beating up his spine, beating up his soul.
47:05McIntyre's in control.
47:06And now he's grabbing.
47:07That was McIntyre's brother.
47:09Oh, this is.
47:10And now taking a selfie of the damage he's done to Priest.
47:14Hey, now his last year.
47:15This is last year.
47:15Again, let's go back to WrestleMania last year.
47:18McIntyre was screwing around, taking selfies at ringside with his wife.
47:21And what happened?
47:22Puck attacked him, Priest cast in.
47:24You think McIntyre would learn after what happened last year?
47:27If you're going to win against your most bitterest rival, do it in style.
47:32And that selfie, I guarantee you, has already gone viral online.
47:36Well, I think Drew was thinking to himself, it wasn't a mistake last year.
47:39I'll do it again.
47:40Oh, and now right to the ear.
47:41Right to the ear of Priest with that chair.
47:44And this has all now become way too easy for Drew McIntyre.
47:48And Damian Priest looks like a beaten man.
47:51It's like this man's at a Home Depot buying two tables.
47:56And we've seen numerous shots already in this one that will take most superstars out for several weeks.
48:03Put them on the shelf.
48:04Yeah, this match is still ongoing.
48:06McIntyre could have pinned Damian Priest several times by now.
48:10But this is about punishing the Punisher.
48:12Four different sets of stairs have been used.
48:14There's a chair in the ring.
48:16Now three tables have been lifted from underneath the ring.
48:19Two of them being set up for a nice two-piece right here in front of us.
48:23Drew McIntyre's thinking crazy.
48:26Yeah, nice look, Drew.
48:27I've never, only time I've ever seen the guy smile.
48:29And now Priest though, with a right hand.
48:32And another one, McIntyre teetering on the apron.
48:35Above the tables now.
48:36Damian Priest and a headbutt, let's go kiss by McIntyre.
48:43Goes to show, Damian Priest had too much durability.
48:47McIntyre taking way too long setting those tables up.
48:50And he's lucky he got out of this one catching Damian Priest with that Glaswegian kiss.
48:55He needs to stop taking the Scottish victory laps every time.
48:58He gets the job done.
48:59McIntyre takes to the air and takes out Priest.
49:03How much does he weigh?
49:06275 pounds.
49:08And Damian Priest ate every ounce of that.
49:12The flying Scotsman.
49:14How about a flying bus?
49:19That was unbelievable.
49:21This McIntyre's special.
49:23If Priest can handle all this, the toughness scale's got to be much higher.
49:28Drew McIntyre's asking for Vegas.
49:30The swaggering confidence of McIntyre, a man who has been to the top numerous times in the past.
49:36And is right at home here.
49:37You know what's coming now?
49:39McIntyre looking for a Claymore.
49:41Oh my God.
49:42Damian Priest just threw a fan of Claymore.
49:45And Drew dodged it somehow.
49:47Cover now.
49:48Hook of the leg for the win.
49:50Priest kicks out.
49:51Oh God.
49:52McIntyre got so lucky there.
49:54Flinched at the right moment.
49:55That chair bouncing off at an ugly angle.
49:58That could have been way, way worse for Drew McIntyre.
50:01Could have lost an eyeball in that one.
50:03But bouncing back with a Claymore.
50:05I have no idea how Priest is still ticking.
50:07Drew McIntyre deflects the chair off his face.
50:12Hits him with a Glasgow kiss.
50:13And now uses the chair for his advantage.
50:16Again, working the spine in the back.
50:18He started with the steps.
50:20Now he's using the steel chair to his advantage.
50:22And once again, McIntyre to the spine.
50:25You know, when your back hurts, your whole body hurts.
50:28It affects everything.
50:29Drew McIntyre with a big brain decision here to attack the spine.
50:33And now McIntyre going to wrap the chair around the neck of Damian Priest.
50:38He can't do this.
50:40God, the Street King is looking anything but the Street Fighter right now.
50:44He is getting annihilated.
50:46Don't do it, Drew.
50:47That's too far.
50:48McIntyre.
50:49Oh.
50:50Oh.
50:50Wentworth.
50:51Burbs into the South of Heaven.
50:53Flat out straight chokeslam.
50:55Cover now by Priest.
50:56And a kick out by McIntyre.
50:58Highly impactful.
50:59But you're right.
51:00It was a variation on the standard delivery.
51:03A desperation strike from Priest when it looked like all was lost.
51:07Take a look at this chair.
51:09It was a glancing blow off the forehead of Drew.
51:11Which is why he was able to follow it up with that Claymore.
51:15Here you go, here's that chokeslam.
51:17Not a full on sound to heaven.
51:19And McIntyre just about kicking out.
51:21This one swinging back and forth in the last 60 seconds.
51:24Well, the thing is, if McIntyre hit that Claymore with that chair wrapped around Damian's neck,
51:29you would have decapitated it.
51:30Over.
51:31Over.
51:32Everything.
51:32And now it's Priest who's going to return the favor.
51:36Did you hear that?
51:38I felt it.
51:40That is a kidney shredding chair shot.
51:44Cracking his.
51:45To the lower back.
51:45And Priest again.
51:48Cracking his back rack.
51:50McIntyre is gonna be peeing blood for weeks after that.
51:53I've seen guys put in hospital for that exact same move for several months.
51:58One more.
51:59Damian Priest is thinking.
52:00Oh, and again.
52:04He's not done.
52:07And Priest now ripping the protective pad off the turnbuckle area.
52:13Damian Priest, the guy who grew up in some of the roughest areas of Puerto Rico and the Bronx,
52:19struggling with gangs daily.
52:21Clearly he can take a beating.
52:23Spine buster.
52:24Spine to pine, pal.
52:26Drew McIntyre gives himself a breather in the middle of getting his ass kicked.
52:33Look, all these instruments of destruction around the ring can aid you in destroying your opponent.
52:38They can also be a massive distraction.
52:40And Priest took too long setting that chair up, allowing McIntyre to somehow get back in this.
52:45And now McIntyre setting up the table.
52:48It is Easter.
52:49Happy Easter.
52:49That ain't no Easter dinner or lunch table.
52:53That's a McIntyre destroying Damian Priest table.
52:58Welcome to a Sin City street fight.
53:00What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
53:03And the way this is looking, the carcass of one of these two men is going to remain in the Mojave Desert for good.
53:10And now McIntyre with Priest on his shoulders.
53:14Sheamus is furious trying for that white noise.
53:17And now a blow to the back.
53:19Priest now, Priest now with McIntyre.
53:21Priest with Razor's eggs to the table.
53:26Cover.
53:26Kick out by McIntyre.
53:32Priest, whose hero was the late, great Razor Ramon.
53:35Uses the Razor's edge to send McIntyre to the table and almost pick up the win.
53:40Chico almost got the one, two, three.
53:43What more does he have to do to Drew?
53:48Survey says two more tables available on the outside currently.
53:53And there's plenty of other weapons of destruction strewn around the ring and the ringside area.
54:00Pick your poison, Damian Priest.
54:02And it's funny, most of these weapons were introduced by McIntyre and now are going to be used against him.
54:08The danger you run in a match like this, falling on your own sword.
54:12That's the risk of Sin City, Michael Cole.
54:17Vegas always wins in the end.
54:19Priest now.
54:21Somehow, someway.
54:22And now McIntyre, run right to the eye, trying to poke out the eye.
54:27Well, both men have gone to the eyes in recent weeks.
54:30McIntyre, of course, having to wear that eye patch at one point.
54:32McIntyre now hooks Priest.
54:35It just shocked DDT.
54:37McIntyre may have hurt himself, but he's still able to go into the pin.
54:41And the inside leg, and Priest is able to kick out.
54:44Yeah, you should be completely out cold after that one.
54:47The cranium of Damian Priest rattling off this steel.
54:52No way to block that whatsoever.
54:56Glassy-eyed there, and somehow Instinct kicking back into the Punisher just in time.
55:01This is awesome.
55:04For the second straight match, our sellout crowd chanting, this is awesome.
55:11This is WrestleMania, and these two are trying to steal the show and steal a win in a Sin City street fight.
55:21Look at the anger and the disdain in the eyes of Drew McIntyre looking on at Priest.
55:27Damian Priest stomping.
55:28Oh, a little slappy.
55:32Well, complete disrespect by McIntyre, and Priest is going to show no respect either.
55:37And now the slugfest underway in the ring.
55:41And Ali against Foreman in there.
55:43Two heavyweights giving it their absolute best.
55:46Burning themselves out in pursuit of victory.
55:50And a Glasgow kiss again by McIntyre.
55:53Oh, and a big clothesline by Priest.
55:56Priest needs a breather after that.
55:58How could you not?
55:59And you're right, Wade.
56:00This has the feel of the old heavyweight matches of old at Las Vegas on the strip.
56:07This is the point both men know they should be home and dry.
56:10An opponent is not supposed to be able to take this level of abuse.
56:16But that hatred, that detached, ice-cold bitterness between these two is driving both men forward.
56:23Both these men are going to feel terrible tonight, and probably for the rest of the month.
56:28The body is already screaming, stop.
56:31But we might be going old school here.
56:33Indeed we are.
56:34Damian Priest, who also idolized The Undertaker.
56:38Set through the tables!
56:39Set through the tables!
56:41Priest took a little bit too much time on the tightrope, and McIntyre made him pay!
56:48Holy!
56:58Smirking through the grimace is McIntyre.
57:01The damage is done.
57:03Priest is a beaten man, but you've got to pin him.
57:08McIntyre has suffered an immense amount of pain here tonight as well.
57:15Damian Priest.
57:16Look at his eyes.
57:18Neither man's body is cooperating whatsoever.
57:21The problem for Priest is his mind isn't cooperating either at this point.
57:25Drew's in mental control at least.
57:28There has to be internal damage done to both of these men.
57:31McIntyre dragging Priest back into the ring.
57:33Putting him face first now.
57:35Into the chair.
57:36McIntyre drops back to the corner.
57:38What does McIntyre have planned?
57:40A Claymore!
57:42Into the head!
57:43Into the chair!
57:45Night!
57:45Night!
57:46Damian Priest!
57:48That's gotta be it!
57:49An uber Claymore for McIntyre!
57:55Wow!
57:56Here is your winner!
57:59Drew McIntyre!
58:03What an incredible, physical, violent match tonight between these two superstars.
58:14We said at the start, who is prepared to leave humanity at the door?
58:20The answer was both men, but clinical and pitiless.
58:25At the closing moments there was McIntyre, who took full advantage of his surroundings
58:31and sent Damian Priest to hell.
58:36Damian Priest is down and out.
58:39McIntyre forcing the official Dan Angler to raise his hand in victory at WrestleMania.
58:46Sin City's street fight led up to the day.
58:52Future shock DDT to start things.
58:55Onto the steel stairs, he somehow kicks out of it.
59:00And then Priest tries to go old school, and he paid for it.
59:05Tables that McIntyre had set up earlier, he clearly had not forgotten about him, but that
59:10share in the corner with this Claymore Priest's head sandwiched between a rock and a hard place.
59:18And that is just game over.
59:21After what was an epic performance and effort from two men who left it all out there tonight.
59:28And get both of these two medical attention immediately.
59:32Damian Priest telling the official, I can't breathe, I need medical help out here tonight.
59:40Dangler calling for some emergency help if McIntyre celebrates.
59:47Learn to listen.
59:49I'm always right in the end.
59:50I'm always right in the end.
59:58I'm always right in the end.
00:06Give it to me.
00:08I'm always right in the end.
