You want me to pick my favorite WrestleMania moment,
[MUSIC]
That's pretty much impossible.
How can I?
I have so many of them.
I'm a five time, now to be six times,
should be seven time WrestleMania main event.
I mean, through that 15, 16, 17, 18,
could have been 19 of real lived in that and 20, whoa, that was my choice.
21 actually matter of fact, I think 2021 Raymond James Stadium.
I smashed them, I stacked them and I pin them.
I created the most definitive WrestleMania main event finish of all time.
So yeah, 2021 when I beat Daniel Bryan and Edge, like it was nothing.
[MUSIC]
>> Ooh, let me think.
[MUSIC]
My WrestleMania moment is WrestleMania 35, Ronda Rousey,
Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Triple Threat, main event.
For the first time ever the women of the main event of WrestleMania and
the winner takes it all home.
And I became Becky Two Belts that night.
[SOUND] >> [LAUGH] Do you know who you're
talking to?
[MUSIC]
My favorite WrestleMania moment is the greatest WrestleMania moment in
the history of WrestleMania moments.
It is the greatest Money in the Bank cash in of all time,
when yours truly, The Visionary, cashed in his Money in the Bank contract in
the main event of WrestleMania and beat Roman Reigns and
Brock Lesnar at the same time to become WWE Champion.
[LAUGH]
[MUSIC]
>> I was like, this is so cool.
[MUSIC]
>> My personal WrestleMania moment when I was in my first match with me and
Kurt Angle versus Stephanie and Triple H.
There was one point, it was my first match, I was super nervous and
I really didn't wanna mess up.
>> There's one point where I was down on the outside and
everyone had kind of forgotten about me.
And I was just laying on the floor and listening to everybody, I remember just
laying there and I know I'm gonna do great on the whole rest of it.
I wasn't nervous anymore and everything had gone so great.
I was having such a good time and
somewhere on the floor around the announcers.
[LAUGH] I think when no one was looking at me was what I had my little like,
giddy girl on the floor moment.
And yeah, that was just for me.
That wasn't for anyone else.
[SOUND] >> It was awesome
[MUSIC]
My WrestleMania moment is obviously, Drew McIntyre, Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36.
It was the first World Title match I've ever had, I won the Royal Rumble,
I was heading into WrestleMania for the main event.
My life's goal, my life's work, Drew could pull off the big one knowing my story and
knowing how much I had to overcome to get to this moment.
It was really gonna make a difference and
looking down at Brock having the title and my hand.
Now, that was my WrestleMania moment.
[MUSIC]
>> My favorite WrestleMania moment is the finish of the Edge and
Mick Foley, Hardcore Match.
[MUSIC]
This was a crazy feud, Edge is kinda been known as a pretty boy up until then.
And we met business coming out there, it was a whole new look for us.
I'd gotten on Mick Foley's back, trying to defend Edge,
we go all tumbling outside the ring.
The thumbtacks come out, it is intense.
And it was getting gnarly, so I had to step in there.
And there was only one thing that hadn't been done at that time.
And that was introducing fire into this hardcore match.
So there was a table I had the lighter fluid and
doused the entire thing, lit it on fire and
Mick and Edge went through that.
>> My. >> My God here we go.
>> [NOISE] >> What's gonna happen?
>> Look out. >> The crowd you could just hear that air
sucked out of the room.
It was insane and just to be like to feel the heat from that table,
to feel the impact under my feet as they landed, it was intense.
[SOUND] >> My WrestleMania moment might seem
obvious to you.
[MUSIC]
>> One, two, three.
>> Kofi win, [SOUND] Kofi did it.
>> It would probably be at WrestleMania 35, winning the WWE Championship for me,
this was a childhood dream come true.
Being able to achieve your childhood dream alongside Woods and
E was amazing because we visualized that moment.
We worked so hard to get there and my family was there.
You saw my kids in the ring.
You saw my wife who sacrificed so much for me to even be in this moment.
Obviously the impact of being the first African born WWE champ And
provide that sense of motivation for so many people that look like me.
I can't express the amount of pride that I have in being the person that
embodies that moment.
And then even the people who was struggled in general, not beyond race, anybody whose
struggled can identify with the 11 year journey of somebody who never got a chance
ended up getting a chance by luck and being able to capitalize on that chance.
So that to me is like a huge WrestleMania moment.
But I'll also say when I was in high school we went to WrestleMania 14,
we saved up all of our money.
I hadn't really been to a major WWE event, WrestleMania 14,
I was only like DXZ and Tyson, you know what I mean?
You know what I'm saying.
So for me as a kid like that really solidified me wanting to pursue this,
if that doesn't happen, I don't know that I, it's not real,
do you know what I'm saying?
It's a fantasy that you have but like to me being there and
we had the worst seats we had our backs up against the wall.
But to see them in the ring and seeing them just live and in person.
It was just amazing and life changing for me and
it was at that moment that I knew that I wanted to do this for sure.
So without that moment at WrestleMania 14,
I don't know if the WrestleMania 35 moment happens.
So they're kind of insane, equally very, very important to me.
So I know I cheated and gave you two answers but those and
the experience in its entirety is my WrestleMania moment.
[SOUND] >> Man,
it brought chills to my body, tears to my eyes.
[MUSIC]
My WrestleMania moment without a doubt is WrestleMania 22, Chicago Illinois,
All State Arena, where I became World Champion for the very first time.
Facing Randy Orton and Kurt Angle.
That match was incredible to me, one of my all time favorites.
And so many good, special moments in that match, hitting the 619 around
the post where for some reason slipped but managed to pull it off with one foot.
>> Watch out. >> Going for Superplex, Rey Mysterio.
>> Slip out of it.
>> Went for the 619.
>> He slipped off, and came back to it anyway.
>> And then going to the finale, Angle Slam from Kurt Angle and
I drag him out to the floor, and set up Randy Orton.
[MUSIC]
619, and a move that I hadn't done in years, springboard from the top,
Frankensteiner all the way through, hooking the legs.
>> Springboard, whoa.
>> For the victory, one, two, three.
You have no idea how special that moment was Not just for me, but for
my people, for my fans, for La Razza, very, very special moment.
