[crowd cheering]
PAUL HEYMAN: We're always looking for a storied rivalry.
Hogan versus Macho, Austin versus Rock, Roman
Reigns versus Brock Lesnar.
[bell dings]
COMMENTATOR 1: Here we go.
Brock Lesnar powering Reigns to the corner.
ROMAN REIGNS (VOICEOVER): When you're in the ring with Brock,
if there's any softness about you--
[crowd cheering]
--it's going to be exposed real quick.
[crowd cheering]
COMMENTATOR 1: Wow.
And now, again, German suplex to Roman Reigns.
Lesnar wants to punish Reigns.
I don't care who my opponents are.
I got one job to do and one job only, and that's to kick ass.
ROMAN REIGNS (VOICEOVER): I think, going into it,
I think we could all agree a lot of people paid a lot of money
to see Brock kick the [bleep] out of me.
[grunting]
COMMENTATOR 1: And Lesnar in another German.
[crowd cheering]
Suplex city, bitch.
COMMENTATOR 1: Oh no!
Roman Reigns drives Lesnar into the post.
COMMENTATOR 2: Roman Reigns knows this is his chance.
[crowd cheering]
COMMENTATOR 1: Superman punch.
Lesnar's in trouble.
ROMAN REIGNS (VOICEOVER): That was
one of the first times I could really feel the crowd turn.
[dramatic music]
But if you are out there in the middle of that storm,
we could feel that energy change.
I could feel that respect coming through the performance.
COMMENTATOR 1: Reigns spear--
no!
For the championship [indistinct]..
Reigns.
Caught, caught.
Lesnar.
And this is the fight.
Who could capitalize?
[rock music]
COMMENTATOR 1: Welcome to hell.
Seth Rollins.
FREDDIE PRINZE JR.: We have a little something called "Money
in the Bank," which allows the winner of that
match to cash in for the world championship
whenever they'd like.
And, in this instance, it was Seth
Rollins running in and making the match a triple threat.
COMMENTATOR 1: Mr. Money in the Bank.
FREDDIE PRINZE JR. (VOICEOVER): I'm watching Brock Lesnar beat
the hell out of Roman Reigns.
Ladies and gentlemen, Seth Rollins
is cashing in his Money in the Bank.
I ran in and made their first encounter at WrestleMania
a little bit better.
COMMENTATOR 2: Taking no chances here at all.
COMMENTATOR 1: Lesnar, Lesnar picked him out of the air.
[crowd cheering]
[grunting]
Reigns with a spear, a wicked spear.
[crowd cheering]
COMMENTATOR 2: Look out!
[crowd cheering]
COMMENTATOR 1: Snap the Reigns.
Cover by Rollins.
[ding]
Rollins with the heist of the century.
[crowd cheering]
[dramatic music]
[applause]
ROMAN REIGNS (VOICEOVER): I was in the room with Brock Lesnar.
There's not a lot of human beings can say that.
Sorry?
(VOICEOVER) And my only goal was to be
able to show that, no matter the mountain, I'm willing to climb.
Did I get the job done tonight?
No.
Did I represent?
In my heart, I feel like I did.
It was hard to think like, oh, we're about to do
this for a few years.
I was just extremely grateful for the opportunity
and then the outcome.
I think I saw Bret Hart, like, later that night
and he was like, instant classic.
I didn't know if this was going to be
what it has ended up becoming.
But I knew off of that it was special.
It was very special.
This match doesn't give you an end to their rivalry.
In fact, it's the very beginning.
I think they kind of knew that there's legs to this.
This isn't going to be the end of the story.
This is going to be the beginning of these
are two guys, right?
We've got Brock, we got Roman.
We're probably going to have a 10-year story here
they're going to go after.
[suspense music]
SAM ROBERTS: In the years that followed their match
at WrestleMania 31, both Brock Lesnar and Roman
Reigns continued to grow.
Roman Reigns beating some of the top superstars in the WWE.
Brock Lesnar becoming the universal champion,
beating guys like Goldberg.
But even with all this going on, you
knew in the back of your head that these two
were bound to meet again.
Brock Lesnar is an entitled piece of crap.
[crowd cheering]
My family and my bloodline is this business.
I don't respect Brock Lesnar, and I damn sure
don't fear that bitch.
[crowd cheering]
(VOICEOVER) You take a guy like Brock who had done it all.
He brought so much knowledge and experience with him.
You put me with somebody like that [indistinct],,
give it to me, give me it all.
You know what I mean?
I'm going to take a lot of it.
At WrestleMania, Roman Reigns isn't
man enough to take the universal title away
from the reigning, defending, heavyweight champion, Brock
Lesnar.
COMMENTATOR 3: Oh my God.
He's here.
Roman Reigns is here.
ROMAN REIGNS: At the end of the day, I knew this is my time.
You know what I mean?
I've done everything the right way.
This is my time.
COMMENTATOR 1: And Lesnar reigns--
and Lesnar just cleaned Reigns' clock.
Oh, and Reigns driving Lesnar face-first into the post.
And then Lesnar popped Reigns.
Oh my God.
COMMENTATOR 3: No, no, no.
And this [indistinct].
Ribs first to the steps.
It comes down to this.
It is WrestleMania.
Will it be Reigns?
Or will it be Lesnar?
