taken down with the DDT stand by here we go hoist it up suplex you have to imagine we're hitting the late stages of this matchup who who's going to dig deeper at this point it might just take that

coming something's about to go either very wrong Taking Flight and he barely evades s straight into the barricade oh he slam his face right into the barricade and he slides him back to the mat he's looking to completely render this leg useless oh damage to the hamstrings he switches it back around into the corner he goes a perfectly placed Target what a rockus crowd here tonight he's outside the ring now hope he's got a plan swinging the elbow to Halt the offense look at this going counter for counter hits the drop kick [Applause] able to interrupt the [Applause] attack he's heading up top

Direction a uhoh hey oh no he misses the target short flight but a rough Landing taking this one back to the ring now taking this to the floor he's burying elbows to the midsection answering back quick exchange of counters there and count outs are legal so hopefully this will be a short trip outside he heads outside count outs legal in this match and elbow will break that up two [Applause] ooh he saw that one coming strong [Applause] suplex connects the fist to the face great counter caught with that sharp elbow brought back into the ring from the floor now oh my gosh oh that should do it

kidding me the WWE Universe only these superstars on pumping the adrenaline they so desperately need right now up high oh my apron s time one quarter of this match is behind us moving quickly here and neither competitor has found that first fall [Applause] yet fighting back with a counter and he gets set back into the [Applause] ring my goodness did you hear that chop and the score is all tied up who is going to break out and get ahead here there is some power behind that punch has the opposition in the palm of his hand and he knows [Applause] it the sound of this crowd is deafening and he's asking for more oh look at this I don't want to be part of these problems don't want to be part of this crowd if this works it could change the cor Sky High he might never be the same after that trip through the table yeah that looked particularly terrible I don't see any way to come back from that what are they doing here fails to connect on the springboard he's got the answer for that one sleeper hold cinched in deep fading fade and there's the tap and come on now the ref has got to get in there and force a break advantage in hand looking to increase that in the match and I just think the constant attacks to the core have caught up to him the body has just been gradually falling apart to this point he is getting rid of the turnbuckle pad don't say that too loud sax he might get caught how's that for a counter and now gets tossed into the ring eats a punch to the uh-oh double underhook this is going to be nasty butterfly pile driver the title's in Jeopardy here I think the Paradigm is shifted cover referee breaks the cap looks like a rope break just letting his opponent know who the real top guy [Applause] is oh what a close line caving in the abdomen watch this incredible core strength up great power masterfully executed Regal Flex he saw it coming taking advantage uh-oh uhoh suicide dive throwing all caution to the wind and leaping to the outside and he throws the opposition back into the ring he is revving up the engine he's not going to let anything stop him saving us from having to sit through that Ro drop kick Escape sleeper hold cinched in deep fading fading oh is he going to tap out he may he is barely hanging on and breaks out of the sleeper this could be the beginning of the end uh-oh and just able to make it to the ropes that was a close call quick thinking pays off sleeper hold cinched in deep fading fading oh is he going to tap out could ear a fall he done and breaks out of the sleeper go behind German suplex uh-oh way too oh diving movea is it enough the cover there it is ladies and gentlemen uncor a thunderous chop into the corner this can't be good guys I can't think of a worst place for him to be right now doing whatever it takes to win and we're about to see it makes him pay with a counter oh what a kick counters this could be an opportunity stops the kick whatever you can do I can do better counters on top of counters desperate attempt here to get back on his feet from the top double a handle connects a neck breaker cover there's two and the defending Champion sneaks a fall B belly the champ in a worst case scenario these are dire straights for him he needs to be extra cautious [Applause] now he just barely dodes [Applause] trying to wrestle free their opponent's arm has the arm trapped delivering nasty [Applause] stops disrupts the attack with an elbow to the gut the Challenger being outclassed here and this trading back and forth blows out boom giving up now is not an option they have to finish this the fight is on and it's Furious and auson setting in and neither one of them is letting up this is a war of attrition with neither Superstar wanting to be the one who surrenders ball is absolutely drained but both refusing to give up big impact he's been placed in the corner now knif Edge chop echoing through the [Applause] arena taking their opponent all the way across the ring before smashing the he's going for the pin this could be it oh with that he picks up a late [Music] [Applause] fall over and over establishing complete [Applause] control he's one step ahead there oh

the easy way ankle lock app PL will they tap are they going to tap is this one going to be over I think he's about to earn this fall and there he is he's giving up huge fall all captured off the submission R A Drop Kick and it's the ref who takes a hit there things might be getting a little out of control oh barb wire straight to the Dome I think we know what's coming next boom he's looking completely lost as he finds his footing oh and these attacks are spelling nothing but trouble a take down and now punches right oh my goodness just strike it at will uhoh I think I know what's about super but Champions need to finish the job two count the defending Champion gets a fall he's raging for some sort of equalizer underneath the ring what a guitar why was that under the ring looks like he has his finger on the trigger now look out sling shot cross body that was ridiculous that is the attitude of a daredevil the ability to take risk with minimal tration no fear absolute Reckless abandon oh baby that's how you break a microphone he's just getting thrown around out here yeah he's really being put to the test drop kick two thrown out of ringside and back to the mat oh the elbow drop knee Crusher and again and again nothing's going to stop him stirring back to his feet but he might not know where he is incoming diving leg drop is it enough the cover two and the champion scores the fall oh look at the scope slam look at this boom nice cover there's two and that's a fall for the champion oh my God arm drag provides an escape crucial turn around there because he was falling behind time now to get his energy up and craw back into the fight the Challenger is in some big trouble yeah this match has not been kind to him oh the referee the unfortunate victim of that hit yeah that can't be good neck breaker [Applause] great reversal with the counter face first with a wasti lock takedown sleeper cinched in deep fading fading he is in deep trouble could be and breaks out of the sleeper looking for the front waist lock countered into a nice arm Drive famouser shoulders down somehow the Challenger gets a fall perhaps looking for some kind of equalizer here he grabbed a ladder this is either going to pay off or completely backfire moved at the right time and he throws the opposition back into the ring and now with the Kendo stick in hand he's ready to do some real damage uhoh he's setting up the ladder who knows what he has planned here will you two shut up and let the men work making her way up the ladder right now this is a nerve-racking situation and our Superstars might not be aware that we have now officially crossed a halfway margin and looking at the scoreboard the outcome feels more or less settled at this point [Applause] look at him pride and Poise personified setting the ladder up ringside now this is looking dangerous he's looking to get up that ladder guys the wrong way got oh no you got to be kidding me holy smokes karini right from the ladder and right on Target and it averted Atomic drop oh right to the kidneys golly left by the turnbuckles just planted onto the turnbuckles there uh-oh things are getting dicey now followed by a back superplex no way what a cross body that's playing fast and loose with your own body that is weaponizing your body that's what that was and now thrown back into the ring what are they doing [Applause] here and he's able to count counter he's able to take a stand there he's trying to bring the fight back in this one Super K a championship level move cover two the Challenger scores a late fall a close body from the middle rope and he's showcasing some dominance here you can tell he is holding nothing back well scouted reversal there at last he's keeping that string of

Street oh no boom Stone P driver this ends now oh man that was nasty weren't that good looking [Applause] anyway another two and he gets set back into the [Applause] ring great trouble here can he get it fully locked in locking it in there's the tap he just had to tap out he had to find a way to minimize the damage and move forward in the match uh-oh face first with a ra loock taked down Dodges he avoids the damage reversal after reversal proving they did their homework down on the shoulder and there's the cover and he is saved by the ropes a a stop the champ rain on Shaky Ground now yeah this is a dire situation to the sky oh and he doesn't connect oh man a look at this hard breaker clearly targeting the shoulder puts the boot to the midsection was ready for that Clos look to the back of the neck he's positioning himself closing in uhoh double underhook this is going to be nasty butterfly pile drive it we can have a new [Applause] Champion taking their opponent all the way across the ring before smashing their face into the turnbuckle [Applause] a take down and now punches right vicious aggressive attacks and the electricity of this moment is coursing through his veins what a close line ouch [Applause] this could be the beginning of the end uh-oh and the ROP save him there but will he be able to last much [Applause] longer super kick now that is why the champ the cover play of the match and the Challenger gets a fall he's channeling the crowd's energy not allowing that to go on any longer butterfly pile driver The Champ eyes look glazed over makes the cover he gets

off oh the Challenger is in some big trouble this is getting hard to watch guys we might need to stop this one ripped over in a snap suplex impact look at this boom nice and now the pressure is mounting on him yeah and this has to decrease his composure moving forward launching diving elbow right on point got to wonder what his strategy is here Cole he knows how bur looks like the chair is going to retain the cover the defending Champion gets a fall shot to the chest and he sends him into the corner top of that turnbuckle is not where you want to be oh he knew what was coming opportunity now for him to capture some momentum Prime opportunity now for him to get some separation and gather himself reversal what a counter knif Edge chop echoing through the arena oh right in there a take down and now punches right what a shot and now he's dictating the pace yeah it seems like he can't be stopped gets him with the counter now he's looking for some momentum yeah but he

setting them up Ankle loock submission will they tap are they going to tap oh and there's the tap out he just couldn't hold out any longer no choice but the sacrifice to fall and a carefully measured knee drop will it be think so there's a shoulder up almost immediately thought he had it you got to be kidding me and look at for a back suplex very nice and we can say we've now gotten into the fourth quarter of Regulation time in this Iron Man match there's still time for any of these competitors to break out to gain the advantage this is it and the champion scores the fall great counter bre will this be enough [Applause] he gets one ah look at this that'll do some serious damage hopelessness has to be settling in now down by so many Falls it'll be a miracle to turn the tide [Applause] now oh he retaliates he's reeling slowly getting up never saw it coming can it be will the rain continue the cover somehow the Challenger gets a fall the WW yes he didn't come here to watch him boast and taunt fires back with a crucial Elbo bruising attack to the stomach the Challenger hopes are slipping away at this point it might be too much for him to recover from Cole staggering to his feet but he won't like what's coming next no oh God that that's a bad landing a totally ill-advised decision there maybe slight hesitation there caused the outcome delivered into the barricade oh he slided his face right into the barricade oh it gets put into the barricade and he slides him back to the [Applause] mat he may get the three count right here this is it he gets the late score a had that well scouted super kick the title is going nowhere kiss your dreams good night makes the cover and the defending Champion sneaks a fall side headlock take over nicely done tremendous pressure
