00:23the talking is over it's time to fight for the world title
00:32big fight feel here tonight at u.s bank stadium in minnesota as roman reigns looked at power
00:39early on one two three power was always going to be roman reigns's advantage here how does roman
00:49keep his championship tonight he has to keep the red mist from descending that neurosis in his head
00:57he has to block it out as best he can if he gets emotional if he gets raggedy in there
01:02i promise
01:03you seth rollins is going to exploit that crack and turn it into a major chasm and seth rollins
01:11right from the off just toying with roman reigns trying to make him pray we mentioned the 1316 day
01:17reign of roman reigns as champion it ended because roman reigns let his emotions get the best of him
01:25at wrestlemania when seth rollins came to the ring and it allowed cody rhodes to win the title
01:31roman reigns has never forgotten that night so if you're rollins how do you beat
01:36reigns to win a seventh world title tonight you make reigns come unglued look everyone's aware that
01:42physically speaking very few can match the all-round abilities of roman reigns although let's face it
01:48seth rollins gets a hell of a lot closer than most what you have to do is throw roman off
01:54his game and
01:55stop moments like this
02:02rollins with a leapfrog went for the side headlock rollins with one of his own
02:09set now across the ring fast pace to start things here roman reigns got turned around a bit and
02:16rollins turns it into a sling blade and again a speed a technical advantage has to go to rollins
02:23and this is really not much between either of them at any level here it's interesting two of the most
02:31most popular most respected superstars in the world yes they are but there is a historical
02:39ledger between these two
02:41whenever they encounter
02:45and it's completely one-sided in favor of rollins
02:48again run reigns missed wildly seth rollins now teeing off on the champion roman reigns
02:54well seth is just baiting roman in at this point he's inside the head of roman and again pure power
02:59winning go but again well he's been inside the head of roman most of roman's career
03:03every big match they've had seth rollins wins
03:17and roman explodes out of the corner with a close line
03:21yeah this is some rage inside roman now a little catharsis temporarily perhaps
03:27reigns across the ring missed wildly
03:29rollins with a kick right to the knee drops roman reigns to an e super kick to the face
03:35and again rollins is countering everything that roman's trying
03:40on this historical ghost that haunts roman is continuing right now that is how you get in the head
03:47of the otc well you heard what rollins said right he believes he's the architect of roman reigns
03:54that he created the reigns that we see today
03:57right now we are seeing the psyche of roman reigns being shattered
04:03rollins nobody home roman reigns using some quickness
04:06with a big jumping clothesline to take rollins down
04:12roman now into the corner
04:22and now it's roman's turn to punish rollins
04:30oh and a big boom
04:32yeah this is a sustained moment of authority for roman in this match for the first time
04:39sending a little something back the way of seth freaking rollins and roman starting to settle in a bit now
04:44you can feel it
04:46blocked and loaded
04:54roman went for the superman punch rollins able to turn it around with a forearm in the zone
05:01and now seth sets roman over the top rope to the floor
05:03and these counters are seth telling roman i know you better than you know yourself
05:12rollins across the ring suicide dive driving reigns back first to the barricade
05:17very little that roman is trying is working thus far
05:21and rollins again driving roman into the barricade and the champions reeling
05:30and roman starting to feel it rollins now
05:33driving open into the spanish announce desk
05:40wait shutts had an answer for everything
05:43listen cole you've been ringside for the entirety of roman reigns's career
05:47he does not have off nights he does not have kryptonite unless seth rollins is there
05:54great way to describe it because that is what rollins has been to roman reigns throughout his career
05:59he's the only one
06:01rollins now clearing the spanish announce desk
06:06the official sean bennett telling rollins to get back in the ring and break the count
06:11you have to believe the official is going to have a lot of leeway in this big title match tonight
06:15no doubt about that no one wants to see this one blown up for a minor
06:20transgression
06:21he went to the well once too often and roman reigns made him pay for it with the right hand
06:25yeah it was just too much of a weight there for roman reigns and seth may have made a critical
06:30error
06:30and a drive-by by roman
06:32well seth opened the door and he can only blame himself for that one
06:40and now seth rollins
06:44trying to regroup and gather himself
06:48look roman made up
06:50roman made a few errors in the early going to this one
06:53but that was seth's error that has allowed roman back into this
06:57and that is a mistake you cannot afford to make with the otc
07:00roman reigns
07:01now he climbs into the crowd to go after rollins
07:05and again i mentioned was going to be a lot of leeway
07:08that the official is going to let these two get away with tonight
07:19so much on the line in this matchup
07:22not just the championship but the respect
07:27i mean for both men at this point strategy clearly out the window
07:32this has just turned into a violent brawl here
07:36hopefully both guys keeping their eyes on what is really at stake
07:39which is the world heavyweight championship
07:41well the absolute disdain that these two have for one another
07:46one of the greatest rivalries of this era
07:50we talked about it earlier though it's crucial to keep in control
07:54keep in control of your faculties
07:56keep in control of where you're trying to head in this one
08:03and now look at rollins
08:06utilizing that stance into the midsection of the brains
08:15Roman uh breathing heavily
08:22referee really giving a ton of leeway as you mentioned colin
08:27rightly so nobody wants this thing thrown at
08:29i said let him fight
08:31that's what the
08:32oh
08:33oh god
08:34and a suplex onto the steel
08:37and i'll tell you right now
08:39just bolts of lightning shooting up the spine
08:42of Seth Rollins detonating right at the top
08:46straight into his brain
08:49and that is devastating for Rollins
08:53and physically he's not going to be the same for the rest of this match after that impact
08:58and Rollins making his way back to the timekeepers area
09:01Roman Reigns though
09:02here he comes
09:04well like a knee lift right to the jaw of Roman
09:07just in the nick of time there from Seth Freak and Rollins
09:10and now getting close to getting back in the ring
09:12but major damage sustained by both
09:14off the apron and a high knee by Rollins
09:24and both men looking wiped out at this stage
09:27but we know they can ratchet through the gears
09:30we've seen it time and again
09:31and Seth Rollins looks like he's got some major plans here
09:39Roman just trying to stand up
09:41trying to use the barricade to balance
09:43Roman's in a battle for survival
09:45Seth Rollins has bloodlust in his eyes
09:52now mocking Reigns
09:55Rollins with a full end esteem
10:04look out
10:06Seattle Bomb
10:15the real Roman Reigns has just awakened
10:20Seth Rollins body buckling

12:12but these competitors

12:15and now
12:17crucially

12:32but even you know
12:33Roman Reigns
12:33doesn't want it ended like this
12:35Roman Reigns
12:36wants a definitive victory
12:38over the ghost of his past
12:40Seth Rollins
12:41he might not get it
12:41the official at 7
12:42the official's at 7
12:44Reigns and Rollins
12:45trying to come through
12:46we're at a count of 8 now
12:47Rollins is close
12:49Reigns a million miles off
12:51a count of 9
12:52Rollins beats the count
12:53Reigns beats the count
12:55Seth Rollins
12:58Pedigree
13:00cover
13:00for the title
13:03and a kick out
13:16a Pedigree
13:18by Marlins
13:19almost brought in the world championship
13:34an incredible main event
13:39I mean it's lunacy that these two are even moving at this point
13:43but one man is moving better than the other
13:47and that one
13:47oh Rollins
13:48challenger
13:48Seth freaking Rollins
13:50Rollins is in position
13:51Roman Reigns
13:52trying to make it back to his feet
13:55Rollins
13:55was looking for a stop
13:57but he ran into a superman punch
13:59cover by the champion
14:00hook to the leg
14:02Rollins got the shoulder up at 2
14:05and that's just an instinctive kick out
14:08from one of the greatest in history
14:10Seth Rollins
14:11who has no clue where he's at right now
14:13going in for the kill
14:15and simply beats him to the punch by the OTC
14:18Waiter the emotion starting to run through Reigns brain
14:21what do I need to do to beat him?
14:23how can I beat him?
14:24I gotta be honest with you
14:25at this point in the match
14:26this deep in the match
14:28it's not about emotion
14:29it's about who has those championship instincts
14:32who has the drive
14:34who has the grip
14:35who can fight through this
14:37faculties are simply not firing in the mind
14:40as they were
14:41but there's the prize on the line
14:43two of the most important figures
14:45in the history of WWE
14:47are battling it out tonight
14:49for the World Heavyweight Championship
14:52to be the man in this business
14:55will it beat Reigns?
14:56will it beat Rollins?
15:01if you're a betting man
15:02you're putting the house on Roman Reigns right now
15:05not quite sure I'd take that bet
15:09won it beat
15:09do it
15:10do it
15:15do it
15:19go
15:40Absolutely stunning from the OTC, dead and buried, and somehow digging his way back into
15:48this thing, going in, eating the turnbuck of his own spear, he's rocked, he's rattled, and he's stumped by Seth,
15:56Freak, and Rawlings, but that is not enough when you're up against the OTC.
16:03Rawlings pulled an ace out of the deck, but Roman Reigns was able to kick out.
16:09What's going through Seth's mind right now, what has Roman said this week, you'll never be A1, you'll always be
16:15in my shadow, you'll always be one level,
16:18below me, and that hates at Seth Rollins. Seth wants to shove those words down the throat of Roman Reigns,
16:25and it might be about to do just that.
16:32Rollins, yeah, putting Roman up on his shoulders. It's an insane level of power this deep into a matchup when
16:39you've been bruised, battered, and bloody.
16:42Yeah, two of the most well-conditioned men in WWE today.
16:48We talked about it earlier in the show, those championship gears, when the spotlight is the brightest, do you have
16:55them, yes or no?
16:56These two have both proved it time and time again, they certainly do.
17:00Massive crowd looking on, as Rollins heads to the top rope, trying to control Roman Reigns here, trying to bring
17:08the world title home.
17:10Roman Reigns is a big, big opponent to try and lift up from that position, and I don't think Seth
17:16has it in him right now.
17:19Roman with a headbutt, driving Rollins to the mat.
17:26Uh-oh, Rollins up top, hooks, he hooks Roman.
17:32Rollins with a superplex, and he's gonna roll through.
17:36Can he get Roman up?
17:37Look at him talking to him, but no, guillotine, guillotine counter by Reigns, guillotine by Reigns.
17:44Rollins is slowly, is Rollins gonna tap?
17:47And that choke is locked in deep, and struggling with a severe lack of power now, is Seth Freak and
17:53Rollins, and he's made it cold.
17:55Reigns has got it locked in, Rollins with nowhere to go, now showing some signs of life.
18:01It's frantic moments now for Seth Freak and Rollins, and that is completely synced in now.
18:07Roman wrapping his legs like a constrictor, around the waist of Rollins, looking to pass Rollins out.
18:14I mean, you simply can't fight back from that position, you've got, no, oh, here we go.
18:20Seth Rollins, though, still in this.
18:22Seth needs to get to the ropes, it's his only hope.
18:26Rollins said, not yet, not yet, I've got fight, I've still got fight.
18:34Oh my god, talk about willpower, talk about willpower.
18:38Seth Rollins trying to fight back to the vertical base.
18:42Oh, this is completely insane, that is not a cruiserweight he's picking up there, that's one of the biggest on
18:48the roster.
18:49And Rollins is able to slip his, his arm around the, around the face of, of Roman, Roman.
18:57Rated on his feet from behind, smear, smear by Reigns, to retain.
19:03Seth kicked out, Rollins kicked out, how the hell can Rollins kick out?
19:10Oh man, an action replay on that count please, because I thought that was over, the entire stadium thought it
19:19was over.
19:19A flush, smear, right to the midsection, of an exhausted Seth Rollins, and just about,
19:28kicking out, achieving this one alive.
19:31Seth, you absolute freaking nature.
19:35That was three.
19:38Man, you got three.
19:40This bitch is a team.
19:42Man, I'm the one.
19:45He's the team.
19:46You know what I mean?
19:48That's what I always was.
19:50I told you before.
19:52You're number two.
19:54That's all I've ever been.
19:57Boom!
19:58If you want to try to change that one, I can't tell you.
20:03This is how you do it.
20:04This is how you do it.
20:08Come on.
20:09Come on.
20:10See again, Rollins got to get in control of his emotions.
20:13Doesn't want to go down that rabbit hole again.
20:15It's cost him way too many times against Rollins.
20:17Yeah, this is that red mist.
20:19He's now descended in the mind of the OTC.
20:22Clarity has completely gone.
20:26And this could be a problem for Rollins, despite the fact that he's in control here.
20:31He continues to call himself A1.
20:35Bigger and better than Rollins.
20:37But does he believe it?
20:39Rollins!
20:40With a spear!
20:42Rollins!
20:43Crawl into the cover!
20:45Seth's gonna do it here!
20:48Roman kicks out again!
20:51An instant classic!
20:53At SummerSlam!
20:56But it was the goading by Roman Reigns, the taunting, the pie-facing!
21:02And it almost cost him again!
21:04Open that window for Seth to pull out this and almost steal it from Roman Reigns!
21:12Well, with it, the World Heavyweight Championship, and you've got to see the reaction in the arena.
21:17This is the Vikings, the Minnesota Vikings team, loving what they're seeing.
21:24The Vikings, I don't like that.
21:27You've got to be paneling, I don't you, bitch.
21:29Number two.
21:35I don't like that.
21:37I don't like that.
21:42The only reason you're number one is because they like you're number one.
21:47Do you understand that?
21:49Tonight, I take that from you.
22:00And Rollins' mind games continue.
22:06Lifting Roman up.
22:09Middle of the ring, Rollins with a buckle-bomb to Reigns.
22:15And now, with a stop, caught by Roman.
22:20Reigns down.
22:25With a buckle-bomb to Rollins.
22:28Tasty, your own medicine, Seth.
22:30And a stop by Roman.
22:32A stop by Roman.
22:33A stop by Reigns.
22:35The cover.
22:35One, two, three, four.
22:37Reigns is alive.
22:39Reigns is alive.
22:44Oh, God.
22:45Both men tonight at their supreme best at times.
22:50Losing focus on the real prize of the World Heavyweight Champion.
22:54But driven by something else.
22:57If it's about being the best.
23:01It's about being number one.
23:03That's what this is about.
23:04The top of the food chain.
23:06For 12 years, these two men have been fighting over who's on top.
23:12On who's the best.
23:13And tonight, that's what it's about.
23:15That's what they want to prove.
23:16And we're still waiting for the answer, Cole.
23:22What a damn match.
23:28I mean, how are you even stirring at this point?
23:32How are you not completely laid out?
23:36It's like they both get re-energized.
23:38It's like they're going to help you, motherfucker.
23:42Mr. Paul, will it go down and come down to my earth?
23:48It's just me.
23:51It's just me.
23:52It's all over time.
23:54It's always been me.
23:56It's just me.
23:57The rooster.
23:59It's only been me and you.
24:04It's just me.
24:09It's been me.
24:13It's been me.
24:14It's been me.
24:15It's been me.
24:15It's been me.
24:16It's been me.
24:18Rollins brought up the bloodline.
24:20Roman Reigns said, uh-oh.
24:21I need to do this on my own.
24:23I need to prove to you that I'm the man.
24:28Oh, my God.
24:31Listen to this place.
24:33No, Rollins.
24:35No.
24:38No.
24:42No.
24:50Rollins thought he was getting the upper hand, but no.
24:53And wait a minute.
24:54Rollins hit to the official.
24:56The official's down.
24:57And that burn shot to the jaw of the official.
25:00And two titans of this industry smugging it out.
25:04Oh, and talk about a little wacky lie.
25:07Hello, Dean Ambrose.
25:14And another.
25:16Well, look like he's going to go for another road.
25:19But Roman Reigns does to the third Shield member.
25:27He's got his bearings back to Roman Reigns to kill it here.
25:41He just feared the official.
25:43Stopped by Rollins.
25:45But there's no referee.
25:47And there's no coming back from that spear.
25:50Not if you're an official.
25:56And I don't even know if Seth had the energy to go for a pin after that stomp.
26:01It was a desperation move.
26:02It worked.
26:04This is one of the damnedest matches that I've had an opportunity to call.
26:11Industrial levels of durability.
26:14For two men driven to be nothing but the guy stood on top of this mountain alone.
26:29This is one of those matches, Wade, you never want to see it.
26:40The official Sean Bennett is down and out.
27:01When a referee is down, Cole, normal rules suddenly don't apply.
27:10Rollins with a steel chance.
27:14The weapon that started this all 12 years ago.
27:22A blast from the past.
27:29Much like the betrayal of 2014.
27:35Seth Rollins with a steel chair in hand.
27:40Roman Reigns oblivious.
27:42No, he's not.
27:44Rollins stepped down.
27:47And Seth just took way too long.
27:50And that sword has suddenly switched hands.
27:52A hesitation by Rollins.
27:56And what a moment of catharsis this could be for Roman Reigns.
28:0212 years, 12 years, 12 years in the making.
28:1712 years in the making.
28:29Roman Reigns.
28:31Roman Reigns.
28:34Roman Reigns.
28:36Roman Reigns shedding the obsession.
28:49I'll move past this.
28:51We're going to end this man to man.
29:03You guys are coming.
29:09And did you see you right now?
29:12No, no, no.
29:14No, no, no.
29:17No, no, no, no.
29:19No, no, no, no.
29:20No, no, no.
29:20No, no, no, no, no, no.
29:24Battling for the World Heavyweight Championship.
29:27Just two heavyweights slugging it out in round 12 here, Cole.
29:35Who is gonna dig down deeper?
29:37Who's got a little bit more left?
29:40Who is the better man?
29:54No!
30:03Come on!
30:05Come on!
30:06No!
30:12Come on, Roman!
30:14Come on!
30:16Come on!
30:17Come on!
30:19Be the man!
30:20You wanna beat me down!
30:21Head putt by Reigns!
30:24And another!
30:24Now taking out his anger!
30:26Seth Rollins with a kick to the midsection!
30:31Just both men pushing way past breaking points!
30:35Roman with a right!
30:45Silverman punch!
30:46And Seth stays off!
30:52Oh!
30:53Pedigree!
30:53Turned the spear!
30:55Into a pedigree!
31:07Went for the stop!
31:08Roman able to duck underneath!
31:10And I think Seth landed a bit gingerly on his ankle!
31:13Still moving pretty down!
31:19Reigns is flatlined here!
31:21Reigns is done!
31:24From the top rope!
31:27Looking for us!
31:29Super stop!
31:31Spear!
31:33There's still no referee!
31:35Goodä» et seventeen!

31:41Danson! TheŲ¢re't
31:41scandy! Another
31:44The enemy! They deserve
31:51to go!
32:11Let's finish the moment
32:16A third sphere
32:19The death blow to the shield
32:21The death blow to Seth Lyons, Roman Reigns retains the title.
32:29Here is your winner, and still, the World Heavyweight Champion, the OTC, Roman Reigns.
32:49I don't even know what to say.
32:56Except that was one of the greatest main events I've witnessed at SummerSlam.
33:03I don't think we have ever seen two competitors expend as much energy, as much violence, as much of their
33:14souls in pursuit of victory.
33:18As we did in tonight's main event.
33:21And Roman Reigns had the option to go cheaply, to take a cheap path to victory.
33:28He said, no, I need to be set the right way.
33:33I need to show the world that I am the better man.
33:41There was no bloodline.
33:44It was straight up one-on-one.
33:49And Roman Reigns retains the championship.
34:04Well, I've seen a lot of title defenses from Roman Reigns.
34:08None more arduous than this.
34:10That was the pedigree out of nowhere.
34:12Seth Rollins going for this super stomp.
34:15On the very top, a nimble Roman Reigns somehow pulling a spear out of nowhere after all these two had
34:23gone through.
34:24And here was Spear, number two, driven into the sternum of Seth Rollins.
34:29It was almost poetic that Roman Reigns would end this with not one, not two, but three spears.
34:42Remember the shield.
34:44The brothers of three.
34:48Justin Jefferson loving it at ringside.
34:53Ladies and gentlemen, Roman Reigns has now tied up all loose ends.
34:59Everybody knows.
35:02Won't you champion?
35:04Won't you see the star?
35:07Anybody know this?
35:10He finally got rid of all the skeletons in his closet.
35:17Roman Reigns exercised the visionary.
35:31And for tonight, Roman Reigns proves he was just one step better.
35:47Will he just become a champion?
36:05In the meantime, Roman Reigns is certainly not a professional, but he's up to the center.
36:09He's smart to be, weren't you?
36:13Before today, Roman Reigns of the perhaps cancer.
36:13They're quick to watch and walk up and do you like this?
36:15He's out to be determined.
36:16He's extravagant to be impaired.
36:17And the pioneer he was to do with the climbing iOS 4.
