00:00What do you do in this match?
00:09If I'm Randy Orton, I'm trying to force Cody Rhodes into making a mistake.
00:13Randy Orton presents a wealth of knowledge inside the ropes.
00:16There are few historically ever better.
00:19Randy knows that Cody's running on emotion right now.
00:22Orton needs to use that against the American Knights.
00:24I was going to say, play on the emotions of Cody Rhodes.
00:26For Cody Rhodes, what does he need to do to take out Randy?
00:30Cody needs to do what he's doing right now.
00:32Bring the fight to Orton.
00:33Utilize, weaponize the emotions stirring inside.
00:37And Randy Orton now with Cody prone in the corner.
00:40You can hear this electric crowd here tonight.
00:44As Orton starts to punish the American Knightmare.
00:52Nobody goes shoulder first into the post.
00:56And now Cody Rhodes with an opportunity.
00:59Calling for the referee to start the count.
01:03Again, Orton will have to make it to his feet before 10.
01:07And he does.
01:12And Cody cannot show hesitation here.
01:15There he goes now with a suicide dot.
01:18Driving Randy Orton into the barricade.
01:21You can almost see the wheels spinning in Cody's head right now.
01:25Surveying the situation.
01:26Looking around at what's at his disposal to utilize against Randy.
01:33The fight spilling outside the ring again.
01:36No count outs.
01:37Orton with a shot right to the midsection.
01:40And Cody fouls face first off the steps.
01:44We know that Orton has the sadistic side.
01:47Get to Jordan there.
01:49But again, the verdict is still out on Cody Rhodes.
01:54And again, dunked on the Arabic announce table.
01:58We saw Cody deliver the punt kick to Baron Corbin.
02:01But Baron Corbin is not a man that Cody once considered a brother.
02:10The official with the count now at four.
02:15And Orton just stalking Rhodes.
02:18Just makes it back to his feet.
02:20And Randy's going to continue the punishment here.
02:25Not only is this type of brutality legal in last man standing, it is encouraged.
02:30And it's right up Randy Orton's alley.
02:34Two, five will get out of the way.
02:40And Randy now positioning the cowl from the announce desk.
02:47And now, delivering the slam right through that cowl.
02:52And Orton says count.
02:54One, two, three, four.
03:05A count of five.
03:06Halfway there.
03:07Rhodes trying to make it back to his feet.
03:10Count of six.
03:11Cody now fighting back.
03:14Cody Rhodes really was looking forward to this match.
03:18To put Randy Orton away once and for all.
03:23They think twice about it.
03:25It's become an obsession.
03:26It's superseded Cody's desire to become champion again.
03:29Cody Rhodes has lost sleep.
03:31It's been a detriment to his career in some respects.
03:35Cody cannot move forward in his own career.
03:38While Randy Orton is still pressing.
03:42Randy getting right to the hip.
03:45And Orton now with a blow to the back of the neck.
03:47Fighting out to the WWE fans here in attendance.
03:58And dumping the trash and using the can as a weapon.
04:06Absolute no remorse shown by Randy Orton throughout his entire career.
04:12Count of four now.
04:13Cody struggling to make it back to his feet.
04:17But this has been all Orton since the get-go.
04:21Oh!
04:23The wiper showing no signs of slowing.
04:27Continuing this onslaught at the expense of Cody Rhodes.
04:32Charles Robinson begins the count again.
04:37And look at Orton just stoically looking on.
04:40A smile on his face.
04:42As Cody Rhodes is being punished here.
04:45And again!
04:49The scariest part about this, Cole, is Randy Orton looks like he's having fun.
04:53He's enjoying it, right?
04:56And again, Cody dragging himself back to his feet.
04:59But he is in a bad way here.
05:01Kick right back to the mix-up.
05:03And Cody trying to fight back.
05:07And now Orton jumped over the barricade and back into the ringside area.
05:16And this allows Cody to regroup a bit.
05:21Trying to get his wits about him after the early assault by Orton.
05:26But he's still feeling the effects of the offense delivered by Orton.
05:32A relationship, as we mentioned before, that dates back a couple of decades.
05:38Oh!
05:39A kendo stick by Orton, who was lying in wait!
05:43It's high, it's deep, and I don't think it's playable.
05:48And now attacking the knee of Cody Rhodes in the back.
05:52Randy Orton, dangerous enough as it is, doesn't need to be swinging a weapon around.
05:58By any means necessary, it's last man standing.
06:09Halfway there.
06:13I actually love the strategy of Orton attacking the lower body, the legs of Cody Rhodes.
06:17Because Cody Rhodes has to answer the count of ten.
06:20You can't do that if your legs don't work.
06:22And Cody now with a kendo stick in hand.
06:24And it's Cody Rhodes turning the table on Orton.
06:30Swinging the kendo stick like a baseball bat.
06:34And now Cody sends Randy over the top rope to the floor.
06:37And Randy, you notice he hit his hip hard on the apron there.
06:43And to your point earlier, you take out the lower body, you can't make it back to your feet.
06:48And Randy focusing on that injured hip as the official's now at four.
06:53I can't tell if it's the hip or perhaps the lower back.
06:55We know Randy's got a history of lower back injuries.
06:57Yes, throughout his entire career.
06:59Cost him many, many months of his legendary career.
07:03And Randy dragging himself through his feet in the aisle way.
07:05And now collapses yet again.
07:12Now Rhodes mounting Orton.
07:15And Cody Rhodes with years of frustration building up.
07:20Let's go!
07:21Let's go!
07:22Let's go!
07:24Let's go!
07:25Let's go!
07:33You know, we mentioned Cody's obsession with getting back to the WWE Championship.
07:38For Randy Orton, he has also put his quest for the elusive 15th world title to the side for this
07:46battle with Rhodes.
07:50You have to imagine, whichever of these two men manages to walk out of Crown Jewel,
07:54they'll be close to the front of the line for a future opportunity.
07:57Only two men in history have held more world championships than Randy Orton.
08:02That would be John Cena and Ric Flair.
08:04Orton is tied for third place right now with a legendary Triple H with 14 world titles.
08:12And Cody now, Orton's down the official at a count of two.
08:18Not quite sure where Rhodes went.
08:23That opening there leads you back to the backstage area.
08:28And Cody went to grab a garbage can.
08:31And now it's Cody using the can.
08:34Right off the face of Orton.
08:36Back it up!
08:36Back it up!
08:37And Randy's down, but is he out?
08:41Two!
08:44Three!
08:45Back it up!
08:47Four!
08:51Five!
08:53And Cody taking the opportunity to once again duck toward the back.
08:57Randy just makes it to his feet.
09:00He collapses again where the official has to release off the count.
09:05And now Cody with a table.
09:06Again, completely legal under last man's standing rules.
09:11The American Nightmare Lumber Company is open for business.
09:16And Randy Orton could be in deep, deep trouble.
09:19Three!
09:21Cody not even waiting for the official to count there.
09:25Understanding that it's going to take more than that to put Orton away.
09:30And Randy with a poke to the eyes.
09:32Matter and move by the Viper.
09:34And now Cody Rhodes.
09:37They suffer damage at the table that he entered into the matchup.
09:51Orton is malicious as they come.
09:53Uh-oh.
09:54Cody is up!
09:56Cody's down!
09:57Through the table!
09:58Randy Orton has taken over!
10:00One!
10:02This could be curtains for Rhodes.
10:04Two!
10:06Three!
10:09Four!
10:11Take another look at Randy Orton driving the American Nightmare spine first through the table.
10:18And Orton believes it's over because we're now at a count of seven.
10:21Cody Rhodes stirring at a count of eight.
10:23Rhodes just makes it back to his feet.
10:25Orton doesn't realize it.
10:27Now he does.
10:28Randy's celebration a bit premature.
10:31And somehow, Cody willed himself back to his feet.
10:34It's hard to believe that a relationship that began.
10:41And once more at the brutality of the powerbomb through the table.
10:47And Cody Rhodes bouncing out of the concrete below.
10:50The relationship that began with the group known as Legacy has come to this.
10:58These two men beating the hell out of each other and trying to survive here tonight.
11:03With a Corey's point, perhaps, working their way toward another opportunity at the championship.
11:14Randy Orton dragging the laces of his boots across the eye of Cody Rhodes.
11:20Orton is just so methodical.
11:22Always in control.
11:24Little wasted motion.
11:30Orton still feeling the effects of this last man standing matchup.
11:36And Cody with a boot.
11:40And now Cody Rhodes setting Randy up for what is usually a Randy Orton move.
11:48And dripping DDT.
11:52Come on, Cole.
11:54Vintage Rhodes.
11:55One.
11:58Two.
12:01Three.
12:04Four.
12:07Five.
12:08Had a five.
12:09Halfway there.
12:10How poetic would it be for Cody to take Randy out with Randy's own maneuver?
12:14Seven.
12:15We're at seven.
12:16Got a seven now.
12:17Rhodes heading up top as he anticipates Orton making it back.
12:20Back to his feet, which he does.
12:21Now Cody Rhodes from the top rope.
12:23But Randy Orton meets him there with a right hand.
12:26Cody was struggling to maintain his footing on the top rope and paid for it.
12:32Vicious right for the bridge of Rhodes' nose.
12:39Randy again with a straight right hand.
12:45Cody gasping for breath.
12:47And again, still fighting back.
12:50Going to learn a lot about this Cody Rhodes tonight.
12:55Does he have what it takes?
12:58Ooh.
13:00Cody was doing his best to prevent Orton from delivering a superplex.
13:03But I think the apex predator might have solved the riddle.
13:07And a superplex delivered.
13:11Orton with his banged up back.
13:13Feeling that as well.
13:14High-risk move by Randy.
13:22Take another look at the impact.
13:25Both superstars colliding with the canvas simultaneously.
13:29Rhodes, of course, got the worst of the exchange.
13:31But makes it back to his feet.
13:33Randy Orton now with a clothesline.
13:35And now Orton starting to feel it.
13:37This is the Randy Orton we know.
13:39Randy Orton now with that power slam to Rhodes.
13:53And now Randy Orton with Vintage Orton.
14:05The look in the eyes of Randy.
14:12Cody dragging himself.
14:14Back to his feet at a count of five.
14:16Oh no, Cody.
14:17You should have just stayed down.
14:19Randy is coiled and ready to strike.
14:22Back to the RKO.
14:24Cody Rhodes, though.
14:25Caught him.
14:26Now a thumb to the eye by Cody.
14:32Orton swinging blindly.
14:34And now Cody looking to turn the tides back into his own favor.
14:41And now...
14:42Oh, Cody!
14:43With a power slam of his own.
14:50And now Cody digging down deep.
14:56Second rope.
14:58Cody caught her!
15:02Orton driven face first in the middle of the ring.
15:05Three!
15:07Three!
15:10Four!
15:14Halfway.
15:15Count of five by the official.
15:17Count of six.
15:19Randy Orton slowly drags himself to his feet.
15:22And I like that out of Cody.
15:24No hesitation.
15:25As soon as Orton got back to his feet, he was right back on the attack.
15:29Cody realizes he has the viper.
15:30Oh, and Coyote!
15:32Out of nowhere!
15:35That is why Orton is so dangerous.
15:39The sudden impact from Orton.
15:46As Charles Robinson continues his count, we look once again first at the Cody Cutter from the American Nightmare.
15:53And then from out of absolutely nowhere, a lethal, a lethal RKO from the Viper.
16:02The American Nightmare was setting up Randy for the bionic elbow before Orton delivered that RKO.
16:07And Cody just makes it back to his feet.
16:10Hanging on now for dear life on the ropes.
16:19Cody trying to create a little bit of distance.
16:21And again, Randy Orton saw Cody going for the kendo sink.
16:25And he said, uh-uh.
16:31And this is the viciousness that Randy Orton has been known for throughout his career.
16:36He doesn't give a damn who you are.
16:38He's in this for himself.
16:40It's all about the betterment of Orton.
16:43Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
16:44Oh, and Cody Rhodes.
16:46That would have been a disaster.
16:48That would have ended Cody's career.
16:49And now Cody looking to use the steps in his favor.
16:53Off the face of Orton.
16:56And Randy collapses to the floor.
17:15a count of five
17:19Orton trying to drag himself up by the apron
17:22and again Cody realizing that Orton was probably going to make ten
17:25and he went back on the attack
17:26It's all about added insurance at this juncture for both superstars
17:32Cody's got Orton reeling
17:34and the American Nightmare has some devious intentions
17:38Will they pay off?
17:40Will this dispose of Randy Orton?
17:42Cody realizes he's going to have to take some high risks
17:45in order to put Randy down for a ten count
17:52Notice the expression on Cody Rhodes
17:54absolute determination
17:57absolute disdain
17:59for what Orton has put him through
18:04We've talked about it a lot recently, Cole
18:06You and I have both known Cody for many, many years
18:08and we've never seen this side
18:10of Cody Rhodes
18:14It took a long time
18:17for Orton to drive Rhodes to this
18:22And now a ladder being dragged out by Rhodes
18:31Pull out all the stops
18:33Rhodes, he promised to do that
18:36Because Cody understands that that's what it takes
18:38to topple a superstar the caliber of Randy Orton
18:41personal issues or not
18:42Well, it's one thing to promise it
18:44It's another thing to
18:45Oh!
18:46Do it!
18:49And with Orton on the top of the announce table
18:52Cody Rhodes
18:54is climbing the ladder
19:03All the way to the top
19:05All the way to the top
19:06My God, Cody
19:10Cody
19:11put it himself in harm's way
19:13Oh!
19:14Oh!
19:15Road out of the way
19:17Rhodes
19:18through the table
19:19as it explodes
19:25Cody went for broke
19:27and it did not pay off
19:28Yeah, he went for broke
19:29and I think it's gonna cost him
19:31Bolt men are down
19:33The official at four
19:37Halfway there
19:38Who's gonna make it
19:39to their feet first?
19:43This once again
19:45Rhodes from the very top of a ladder
19:47Orton out of the way
19:49Cody crashes and burns
19:51At eight
19:51Orton's to his feet
19:52A count of nine
19:54Cody Rhodes
19:54just makes the count
19:56Just beats the count
19:58That was instinct
20:00That was pure muscle memory
20:02from Cody Rhodes
20:04Orton with a look
20:05of almost
20:05What do I need to do here?
20:12It is very rare
20:14you see Orton
20:15become frustrated
20:16in a match
20:17There's very little
20:18in this industry
20:19Randy Orton
20:20has not experienced
20:21first hand
20:22dozens of times
20:23Yet here we are
20:24in the apex predator
20:25asking himself
20:27What can I possibly do?
20:29What can I drum up
20:31to take out Rhodes?
20:33Both of these men
20:34Maybe one
20:36high-impact move away
20:38from not being able
20:39to answer the ten count
20:54Both these celebrated veterans
20:56putting it all
20:57on the line here
20:58that crown jewel
21:06And you can see
21:08the toll
21:09that this match
21:10has taken
21:11on both of these men
21:12It's instinct
21:12Cody's body
21:13just betrayed him
21:17You gotta wonder
21:18what Orton is
21:20saying to Cody Rhodes
21:23Perhaps setting
21:25Cody up for his
21:26last lights
21:29And oh no
21:30Cody
21:31Cody's in position
21:33here Corey
21:33And Randy Orton
21:35knows it
21:37Cody knows
21:38what this feels like
21:39It destroyed his eye
21:41back after the match
21:42at Wrestlemania
21:43And tonight Orton
21:44looks to destroy
21:45Rhodes' career
21:46Randy
21:46in position
21:47looking for the putt
21:48on Cody
21:49Cody just moves
21:50out of harm's way
21:53Rhodes now
21:54Super Cody
21:55Carter
21:57I don't know
21:58if Cody got
21:59as much of it
21:59as he was looking for
22:00Randy was able
22:01to mitigate the landing
22:03But still
22:04took some serious damage
22:07Cody quickly
22:08back to his feet
22:09Randy Orton now
22:10the recipient
22:11of the count
22:11from Charles Robinson
22:12A count of five
22:14by Charles
22:16Now at six
22:19Randy crawling
22:20to the ropes
22:20His only chance
22:22to pull himself
22:22back to his feet
22:23which he does
22:24Cody Rhodes
22:24with almost an expression
22:26of what on earth
22:27how did he make it
22:27back to his feet
22:29And now Cody
22:32Crossroads
22:32to Orton
22:39Is that enough
22:41for Rhodes
22:42to pull off the win
22:54And Cody now
22:56outside the ring
22:57A count of six
22:58by the official
22:59A count of seven
23:00now
23:01Desperate time
23:02here for Randy Orton
23:03to try to make it
23:04back to his feet
23:06A count of nine
23:08Randy barely
23:09beats the count
23:10Meanwhile Cody Rhodes
23:12in anticipation
23:13of that
23:14sends the steps
23:15into the ring
23:17Orton's hurt badly
23:20And he keeps favoring
23:21his left arm
23:22his elbow
23:23could be a bicep
23:34Yeah Randy
23:35in a terrible way here
23:42Steps
23:43Chairs
23:45Now
23:46Cody Rhodes
23:47being vicious
23:48Cody Rhodes
23:49punishing Orton
23:56Straight right hand
24:01Randy Orton's eyes
24:03are glazed over
24:03The lights are on
24:05but nobody's home
24:11Cody yelling
24:12at his former friend
24:14his now bitter adversary
24:19We question whether
24:21Cody would be able
24:22to do this
24:22And so far
24:24he's answered the question
24:25with an emphatic
24:27yes
24:45Oh
24:46took too much time
24:47and Orton went low again
24:49the same move
24:50that beat Rhodes
24:51at Sunday night's
24:52main event
24:58And again
24:59it seemed
25:00Cody
25:00hesitated a bit
25:01Cody got a bit
25:03too poetic
25:04for his own good
25:05he wanted to
25:06spell something out
25:07verbally
25:08to Randy Orton
25:09and it cost
25:10the American nightmare
25:16at the count of seven
25:19look at the look
25:20at Cody's face
25:21back to his feet
25:26and now it's Randy Orton
25:28with an opportunity
25:29went for the RKO
25:30Cody countered
25:31into a crossroads
25:32The second one
25:33of the match
25:34and he's not done yet
25:36Another crossroads
25:41Cody could be looking
25:42for the trifecta
25:44dragging Orton's carcass
25:47back into position
25:49with a third
25:50crossroads
25:55I think upon landing
25:57Randy actually made
25:58contact with the stairs
25:59again
26:03and this could be
26:04could be close
26:05to over
26:06Randy Orton
26:07dazed
26:08not quite sure
26:09he even knows
26:10where he is
26:14and you're right
26:15I believe Orton
26:16did connect
26:17with the stairs
26:23kind of opened up
26:24on top of Randy's
26:25head
26:27Randy
26:27back to his feet
26:29at a count of eight
26:29but Randy's out
26:30Randy has no clue
26:31where he is
26:32and now Cody's saying
26:34don't count
26:35don't count Charles
26:38I need this for myself
26:40I need to do this
26:42for myself
26:43I believe Rhodes
26:45may have Orton
