[NOISE]
[SOUND]
>> Forget the beat down at the hands
of Joel the tag team champs earlier tonight.
He goes right after Seamus Slayer coming out swinging.
There's something new from Seth Rollins is normally a great counter puncher, but
tonight he's all out.
>> Rollins with a score to settle.
There's the power of the Celtic warrior Rollins lands in his feet.
Let's use this quickness in this matchup as he launches Sheamus outside the ring.
>> Yeah, he's got a lot of motion right there.
Two guys.
>> Suicide die.
Pedal to the medal for the architect.
And he saw the reaction by Sheamus, it appears he was not ready for
this type of onslaught by Seth Rollins tonight.
>> Maybe Sheamus underestimated what Rollins was going to bring
to the table tonight.
>> Tell you something,
when a guy come up the block like that, it kinda throws you off your game plan.
[INAUDIBLE] Match up involving
two former WWE champions,
both money in the bank contract winners, and
both successfully cashing in those
contracts with their career.
>> Take another look at this, Rollins giving chase but uuh,
that game changing power.
What Sheamus possesses comes into play.
>> Remember Sheamus actually cashed in his contract on Roman Reigns.
I remember [INAUDIBLE] Shield at Survivor Series a couple of years ago.
>> Sheamus might need some detal work after this one.
He got knocked by Cesaro.
>> Yeah, Rollins [INAUDIBLE] knock something loose,
Idon't know if it was both rights and lefts or it was a suicide dive.
Sheamus embraces this right here man, he love the crowd, the.
That motivates you sometimes to wanna go there and
just beat your opponent just a little bit more.
>> Corey we've talked a lot about the sabattical Sheamus took a couple of weeks
back, going back to his homeland of Ireland, really, he said,
to get his head straight.
>> Well, Sheamus also spent a great deal of time at one of his childhood
boxing gyms.
Trained with some mixed martial artists over in Ireland,
still continues to train and improve his physicality here in the United States.
>> Back breaker, kick out in one by Rollins.
>> Dennis was telling us earlier he's changed all of his training regimin.
Completely different from how he trains when he got to WWE.
Now it's about endurance.
>> Sheamus said he loved being tag team champion but his ultimate goal is to be
world champion again and that should be every superstar's goal.
>> And he talked about Sheamus and
the endurance said from being in the WWE year after year.
Look at this, Sheamus continues the assault.
On rollin famous targeting Rollins right knee you know Seth Rollins has a well
documented history of knee problems and
I'm not a big fan of that CrossFit training either Corey.
And here's Santas business with the kick.
Rollins caught him in the back of the neck.
And you don't like CrossFit Booker, but it seems to work pretty well for
Rawlins And Highlands now favoring the, the leg that was attacked by Seamus and
now the Celtic warrior back in his feet but Rollins continues to fight back.
Never underestimate the strategy of shaming.
In a relatively young age.
Seamus is a veteran, a bona fide veteran here in WWE.
He's done it all.
[INAUDIBLE]
i Say the guy
there's a lot of
emotion right
there build up.
You get jumped on you want to go out there and
get a man that like agility sped up with a name.
My god Rollins hard.
Seamus is taken over live on Raw Step back.
Step back. Step back. >> Two WWE workhorses going at it in this match up
tonight, Sheamus and Seth Rollins.
Of course, Sheamus went up for the WWE tag team champions,his partner Cesaro
followed Rollins partner, Ambrose barred for ring side in this match tonight.
Great strategy from Sheamus in the break guys.
Not giving Seth Rollins a moment to breathe.
Constant pressure.
>> He's using the size advantage, winding and wearing down the architect.
Very physical.
275 pounder Sheamus.
Seth Rollins is trying to get back into vertical base.
Again, Rollins was beat up,
beat down earlier tonight by Sheamus and Cesaro and Samoa Joe.
So he came into this match up already all banged up from earlier on.
>> Sheamus once again the victim of violent attack to his jaw.
>> Shot by Seamus.
No. And again,
we're on the leg of Seth Rollins, that shameless attack earlier on in the matchup
that was talking about that weakness.
You don't want to show weakness out here with this guy right here.
Yeah. Seth Rollins a history of knee problems
and Sheamus looking to target the knee and were set.
Rollins down and this could come into play for
the submission maneuver that Sheamus likes to use, the cloverleaf.
>> Take a look at this power by Sheamus using his own shoulder as a fulcrum
launching Rollins face and knee first into the- look at this,
Stretch Muffler submission by the Celtic warrior.
Rollins is in agony right now.
>> Don't think Sheamus [INAUDIBLE] come out here with this game plan right here
totally ready to go, and he's- >> Look at this,
look at the smile on the face Book.
>> Yes. >> Sheamus, loves punishing Rollins.
>> Wow. >> And
Rollins could be moments away from tapping out and trying to figure out how to get
out of this predicament, reverses the weight just a bit there now fighting back.
>> Sheamus down, but again Sheamus.
>> Great counter.
>> And now he's looking for a counter like we talked about earlier.
It's locked in Saqqara decision right.
He's gonna have to make guys Sheamus with a cloverleaf, walk in And
Sheamus is sitting down, Seth has nowhere to go, nowhere to move.
>> Look at the torque on the knee of Seth Rollins-
>> What do you do at this point?
>> Not to mention the pressure of the lower back.
You tap out if you want to keep fighting.
>> Like I said- >> If you want to fight tomorrow.
>> He has a decision.
He has a decision, this is it right here.
>> Trying to make it to the bottom rope, he's finger tips away.
Sheamus drags him back to the middle of the ring.
>> Man! >> [INAUDIBLE] [INAUDIBLE] victory.
>> [INAUDIBLE] thinking
about Seth is gonna have
to throw one big shot and
I thought that was it right there.
>> Rollins has a valuable few moments right now to attempt to recover and
get the blood flowing back through his knees.
[INAUDIBLE]
How much fight
his got left in him.
Seth with a ton of fight left in him.
Sheamus shoulders are down.
Rollins and a kick out at two.
Kick to the jaw.
>> Sheamus' face just snap off that.
>> Cover again and a two count.
That was a near fall for Rollins.
>> It normally should footed Rollins not the case right now doing battle basically
on one good leg.
>> And Seth need too much.
Listen to this, Rollins connects but isn't able to finish the cover.
You can see the one arm rather than the normal two that Seth could use.
>> You gotta hook a guy, you gotta hook up tight, specially a big guy like Sheamus.
>> Guy, Seth's defense not only he's got a bad leg but
remember he got beaten up pretty good to start a Monday Night Raw tonight.
>> This physical battle with Sheamus.
Right to the nose.
>> Rollins looking for the spin out knee maybe.
>> That and again the bad leg of Rollins.
>> You got to be impressed with the strategy of Sheamus.
>> Sheamus just sticking to the game plan man.
The game plan is This work on that knee changes back up to the top rope valance
back to his feet somehow let beat his way over to the corner.
Now this is not a good decision not a good idea rolling was so dangerous he can't.
He really has no use to the left leg.
And that is Seth Rollins.
[SOUND] >> He is used to being on the top rope,
but right now he's in a lot of pain.
>> Yeah, but he doesn't go to the top rope, normally, with a bad leg.
But this time- >> No.
>> He meets Sheamus.
Seth Rollins.
Talk about guts.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Digging down deep.
Rollins- >> Wow.
>> On one leg.
>> Delivering a Falcon Arrow on one leg to Sheamus.
>> Couldn't cover him though.
>> But did he do more damage to his leg.
>> Valuable seconds just ticked away right there.
>> Rolls to the cover.
>> One, two He couldn't hook the leg and it cost him!
>> Adrenaline could make a man do crazy things.
That's exactly what we just saw.
Let's take a look at this.
Rollins from the top with a superplex.
But he wasn't done there.
Somehow Pulling Sheamus up.
>> On one leg. >> On one good leg before
planting him again.
>> I mean, the athletism from this guy, Seth Rollins, and
right now he's doing it on a bad knee.
That tells you how good he really is.
>> Hey Corey, you mentioned adrenaline.
What happens when the adrenaline wears off?
Your body starts locking up, everything hurts a little bit worse.
Every step you take it becomes a little more painful.
>> What an incredible fight between these two men.
Two very proud men.
Rollins and Sheamus.
Their respected teams have developed quite the rivalry.
>> Rolins looking for the Spinout Knee.
>> The latter half of 2017.
>> And he delivers.
No! >> Sheamus has caught him.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Rollins able to counter, but
again lands hard on the bad knee.
>> Wow. Look at the power of Sheamus.
>> Wow.
>> The pressure to Rollin Seth down.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And
now Sheamus may have Rollins where he wants him.
>> Do and I think the press just.
Good Looks are not no extra painful.>> I could tell you
if Sheamus hits then Seth Rollins won't be feeling anything.
[APPLAUSE] [INAUDIBLE] Wait for the broke stepped up I love it too.
[APPLAUSE] Rollins from out of nowhere, looking to cover,
hooks the [INAUDIBLE] Rollins what a win.
[MUSIC]
>> Here is your winner, Seth Rollins.
>> Talk about a [INAUDIBLE] victory.
That was tenacity, toughness, guts.
You have to respect everything about what Seth Rollins just did.
