00:04Big Show in a main event match up here on SmackDown against Rusev.
00:08And Big Show again takes down the Super Athlete.
00:11It has been all Big Show during the commercial break on the WWE app.
00:16Big Show has been tossing Rusev around.
00:18He's controlled the entire pace of this match up.
00:21For the first time we've seen this unstoppable undefeated Russian.
00:27Completely out of control in a match.
00:29Hey, John, I wanna ask you the question I asked you on the app.
00:31How disconcerting is it when you're a guy like Rusev, when he used to bullying your opponent,
00:35using your power?
00:39And then you go into a ring with a guy that's bigger and stronger than you, and you can no
00:43longer do that.
00:44Well, you think you can strategize for a big guy.
00:47You think you can plan for a big guy, and all of a sudden you get in the ring with
00:49a giant,
00:50and you realize the strength of a true giant is all your plans go out the window.
00:56You just go into survival mode.
01:02Oh, man, they can hear that in Moscow.
01:09Alana looking a little bit nervous at ringside.
01:12The big Russian's in trouble.
01:14Big Show fighting for his brother Mark Henry, fighting for country here on SmackDown.
01:19Oh, great move by Rusev, great move by Rusev.
01:23He saw the opening and he took it.
01:26Ah!
01:27That's the survival instinct that I was talking about when you face the Big Show.
01:33Well, John, he's training so many different disciplines as Rusev.
01:38Sambo, Sumo, Jiu-Jitsu.
01:41He better use every single one of them in this match against the Big Show if he wants to remain
01:46undefeated.
01:47And something we've learned about Rusev is how mentally tough this guy is.
01:51The assault here on the left knee of Big Show.
01:54The first time Big Show has been on the mat here in this match.
01:57And how do you neutralize a guy more powerful than you?
01:59You take him off his feet.
02:06A big butt leg is a Big Show.
02:10No matter how big they are, they don't bend certain directions.
02:14We saw the game plan of Rusev and Lana at Night of Champions attack the back of Mark Henry
02:19and here going after the knee of the Big Show.
02:24Again, simple strategy.
02:26Lana, look, I don't even think it was a game plan at Night of Champions.
02:29I think he saw an opportunity and he took it, just like he did this with Big Show.
02:33Exactly.
02:35This is a thinking man's fighter, this Rusev, which is one of the reasons he is so dangerous,
02:40and one of the reasons he's undefeated.
02:43But he beat two very tough former world champions in Jack Swagger and Mark Henry.
02:50And look at Big Show with a huge leg.
02:53Ooh!
02:55Got across the bridge of the nose there of Rusev.
02:59Big Show's leg is the size of a tree trunk.
03:06Big Show side slam to Rusev.
03:08Here we go, he's gonna do it!
03:09Cover and a kick out.
03:17All of Big Show's honors and titles.
03:22Taking the undefeated streak away from Rusev is gonna be right at the top of the list if Big Show
03:28can do it tonight.
03:29Uh-oh, uh-oh.
03:29And he lands this.
03:31Uh-oh, uh-oh!
03:31Rusev goes to sleep.
03:3399!
03:35Good night, sweet Russian!
03:37Looking for the knockout punch!
03:40Rusev flooring Big Show!
03:42And now Rusev into a cover on Big Show powering out.
03:48Rusev almost had him.
03:51And John's right if Big Show had hit that knockout punch.
03:54Yes!
03:56Yes!
03:59And Big Show's sustaining a lot of damage to the left knee early on in this matchup just a few
04:05moments ago.
04:05Oh, now Rusev trying to wear down the Giant.
04:10Come on, move!
04:18Rusev in great position behind the Giant.
04:20He's riding him.
04:21Yeah, Big Show's gotta get back to his feet.
04:23Creates some sort of separation here.
04:26Oh!
04:31Oh!
04:33Oh!
04:34There it is!
04:35That's how a Giant makes a counter.
04:42Big Show!
04:43Oh, starting to roll downhill here in this match.
04:47Oh!
04:53Big Show!
04:54Look at her!
04:55Chokeslam!
04:56Chokeslam to Rusev!
05:04Listen to this WWE Universe in Little Rock!
05:08And look at, why the?
05:09What the?
05:23What the?
05:25I have to play this qualification.
05:28Rusev is gonna get knocked out.
05:29Why not do it?
05:31Now Rusev drilling Big Show with the Russian flag.
05:36Rusev remains under, untended, untapped out.
05:48God, Big Show just assaulted with the flag.
05:53Rusev looking for that big kick.
05:54Rusev looking for that big kick.
05:54And Big Show not gonna let it happen.
05:57Oh, my God!
05:59He got him!
06:01Down goes Rusev!
06:03For the first time, we have seen Rusev drop.
06:07And the Big Show is the one that just did it.
06:10We got a Giant representing America.
06:14Listen to this place.
06:17Rusev!
06:18Rusev!
06:29Rusev!
06:30Standing up for his friend, Mark Henry, tonight.
06:34But standing up for 318 million Americans.
06:39But, guys, we learned something tonight.
06:42Rusev's vulnerable.
06:44Big Show may have his number, John.
06:47I think Big Show has anyone's number.
06:49If he can hit him with that knockout punch,
06:51Lana saved the big Russian tonight,
06:54at least during the match.
06:56But she didn't save him in the aftermath.
06:58Watch this in slow motion to the Big Show.
07:01Bang!
07:02Right on the jaw.
07:04Rattling Rusev.
07:06What a KO punch from Big Show.
07:09Now, ladies and gentlemen, listen to this.
07:12A huge KO punch takes down the Russian.
07:17And for the first time in the ring with Rusev,
07:20we don't have to see a Russian flag come down.
07:23And America embarrassed again,
07:25all thanks to the Big Show.
07:29We got a strong,
07:30we don't recognize the United States,
07:32and it's a Russian flag.
07:33Let's see, we hit the glowing group,
07:33And the green is over.
07:33And the green is over.
07:33And the green is over.
