[SOUND] >> [APPLAUSE] >> Well, I’ll tell you what, Sheamus better be trying to block these RKO’s tonight. Randy better be trying to block that big boot. >> One of the things that Randy Orton said about Sheamus was, listen, I’m going to attempt to make Sheamus entertaining when I rip that mohawk off his stupid head. Those the words of Randy Orton. >> I think that Mohawk looks great. [NOISE] >> Sheamus was telling me earlier today that he recently got a nose ring. >> Boy. [APPLAUSE] >> Listen to this chant, you look stupid. >> You look stupid! >> [LAUGH] >> [APPLAUSE] >> Whatever it is you want to say he looks, Sheamus is an ass kicking machine- >> Yeah, and he’s Mr. Money in the Bank. We’d like to thank all of you who are joining us live tonight for Battleground on the WWE Network and watching in over 200 countries live around the world. >> And as you said, Michael, that Money in the Bank contract means he can cash that in and we could see that happen very well tonight. He’s got a lot of problems right here with Randy Orton first. >> Yeah, he’s got to survive Orton tonight. See the mood that Randy Orton’s been in. Orton, a 12-time WWE World Champion- >> What do you mean the mood Randy Orton’s been in? Have you ever seen Randy in just a real friendly, happy mood? >> Not really. >> Guys, do you know what a great feeling that that must be for a guy like Sheamus to have that Money in the Bank contract in your possession? Knowing that you could just cash it in any time you want to, you don’t have to be in any hurry. I mean, you can buy any time. You got a year to do it. Can you imagine you’re Seth Rollins? >> Sheamus has the contract, and Brock Lesnar has Seth Rollins in a match tonight. >> That’s how Seth Rollins became champion, cashing in at WrestleMania. And let’s not forget, John, Randy Orton- >> Sheamus taking a little breather. >> Randy Orton has won the Money in the Bank contract and he’s cashed it in. He knows what it’s all about. >> Randy Orton is one of the ones that has cashed it in very successfully. >> Watch out. [NOISE] >> Looks like, whoa, this battle is gonna spill out here towards us, guys. >> These two just do not like each other. And now, Orton. >> Reverse on Sheamus. >> Back first into the barricade. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Randy Orton, now he’s the guy that’s feeling pretty good about himself. >> Seem to really bother Randy the night that Sheamus won the Money in the Bank contract last month. Is that the Sheamus? It’s almost like he doesn’t want, well, now I see why he doesn’t want too much of Randy Orton. But Sheamus out here on the floor may not be the safest place to be. [NOISE] >> Orton getting out of the box quickly. [NOISE] >> Now, he’s got Sheamus reeling here early on. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Not quite the way that Seamus wanted this match up to begin. Certainly not the way he tweeted it was gonna be. Two great Former World Champions going at it. You expected to be physical, listen to that. [NOISE] >> Uppercut like a young dory funk. [NOISE] >> Wow, uh-oh. [NOISE] >> Uh-oh. [LAUGH] >> Did you hear that? >> About a 60 yard punt There’s the Irish Curse Backbreaker. Right down the side spine by Sheamus. >> That is going to slow down Randy Orton. >> I think Sheamus needs a little r and r here. He’s hurting himself. [NOISE] He’s got wrong with a rib there or something. >> It’s not obviously someone who walked into the ring like Orton did tonight. Just manhandle Sheamus for the first part of the matchup [NOISE] and you could feel that this crowd here at the scotch raider arena, you knew we were about to. >> And again. >> Heck of a fight. And a third Irish curse, daughton. [NOISE] And just like that, Sheamus has taken control. And now it’s at the pace that Sheamus likes. >> I’m entertained [NOISE]. >> Well, that is not a. Sheamus is not taking those words to well king. When Randy Orton said that Seamus isn’t entertaining and he’s going to try to make Sheamus entertaining tonight. [APPLAUSE]. >> Aaron, Randy Orton, tell him next time you go out to the mall, buy yourself a personality. You’re right. These kind of things don’t set well with Sheamus. [NOISE] >> No. [NOISE] Sheamus is about to show Randy how much he dislikes those kind of comments. Hooks the inside leg. Is it enough to put Randy away and gets the shoulder up at two? >> That big knee from Sheamus right to the middle of the chest. Randy Orton, that’ll take the win. Wind out of your sails. >> Sheamus just leaning on it, putting his weight all over Randy Orton, wearing the viper down. >> Sheamus, a former WWE world champion in his. >> Check this out. Look at that knee. [SOUND] Sheamus has won the royal rumble. King of the ring, [SOUND] Sheamus Is that enough to put Randy away? And again, a near fall for mister money in the bank. >> I’m going to tell you something. Has this what you do. You both know you’ve been close around Sheamus. This guy is just deceptively big and raw bone and smart. Look how smart it is for Sheamus leaning all over Randy Orton, just wearing the viper down. >> At 270 pound frame. This is the game plan Sheamus had in mind, and I don’t care how big you are, he is capable of just literally manhandling you like he’s doing, too. That could stop things. >> Sheamus hit the post hard. >> And this buys Randy sometimes still smarting from those backbreakers. [SOUND]. >> This is a great way to kick off Battleground. Listen, listen to this shoulder hit right here. Man, man. >> The referee to count of a seven before Sheamus makes back under the bottom rope. >> This has been a battle to break the count. I think Randy would have been happy with a countdown [NOISE] because they’re blocking every punch with their face. >> No kidding. >> These guys aren’t much on defense. It’s just all offense. [NOISE] Wow. Kidding. We just had a fight breakout in St. Louis. >> I’m enjoying watching this. I’m glad I’m not. In the middle of that. Whoa. [NOISE]. >> These guys know each other so well. >> Sheamus caught him with an elbow. >> Sheamus one. Good for wide noise. >> I think you’re right. >> With a top rope [NOISE] was hung onto that bottom rope or ring apron right back in. No, no, no. Look at, again, right out in front of us. Sheamus and Orton exchanging the big blows. >> We don’t wanna quite be out. >> [CROSSTALK] >> Sheamus dropped right on our table. [NOISE] >> Seamus dropped right on our announce table by Randy Orton. >> Man. [NOISE] >> Wow, that is. [NOISE] >> There’s a power slam. Cover, is it enough to put him away? >> Yes, no. >> How smooth is Randy Orton? >> Let’s go back and look at what happened to our announce table. But more importantly, what happened to Seamus is back. >> Sheamus went for that broke kick Randy countered with that power slam. The great ones make it look easy. >> Guys, these guys are throwing everything at each other, everything they got. >> Boy and you’re right about this, they know each other so well, king and Sheamus knows this. Well, Randy Orton’s got him in position. Sheamus doesn’t want any part of it. He’s trying everything he can to block that and he did. And now we know what Sheamus is thinking here, so does Orton. He’s got that mohawk. [NOISE] >> Randy was going for that patented DDT and Sheamus was able to block. [NOISE] [INAUDIBLE] >> No [INAUDIBLE] By Sheamus, Planting Randy Orton. Sheamus and another near fall for mister money in the bank. Sheamus is just relentless here. [NOISE] >> Look back here. Yeah, shrink [INAUDIBLE] Sheamus. Here’s the cover and a kick out. >> That is just manhandling a huge competitor, Randy Orton. >> [APPLAUSE] >> That would have kept most superstars down for this. Sheamus, I think he’s feeling now he’s wanted to really in this thing. >> Watch this, JBL. >> This could be it for Randy Orton. Sheamus getting ready for that pro kick. Randy Orton, looking for the RKO. Uh-oh. [NOISE] >> Looking for the cloverleaf. Sheamus’s submission move. These guys are going for everything. >> They’re blocking each other’s best move, and there it is. [INAUDIBLE] white noise. >> Orton not able to block that. >> Sheamus tried it earlier on and Randy able to kick out. [NOISE] >> Orton couldn’t block that, couldn’t block white noise, but he survived it. >> Talk about two men who are evenly matched and know each other so well. Counter after counter and every one of them is physical. >> Just look at the look on the face of Sheamus. Watch this, he’s gonna hit Randy with white noise, which should have [INAUDIBLE] this match was over, but Randy was able to kick out. But, there’s no frustration on the face of Sheamus, like more determination. >> And more punishment. And on the other side of 12 time world champion Randy Orton. You’re not gonna see any panic there either. >> Wow. Perfect example, what I’m talking about right there, John. Randy Orton back in control. Uh-oh, little strength display by Randy Orton himself. >> And Randy Orton gonna crawl now into the cover, hooks the leg on Sheamus, he almost had him in near fall. >> And he had a good, tight cover as well, You’re right. Watch the face of Randy Orton. He’s not frustrated, he’s just saying he’s thinking back to work. >> He’s plotting, his third generation superstar. >> You see that sometimes that sly little smile come across that face and you know he’s got some evil intentions. Orton’s right hand just like his daddy, the hall of famer, the great Bob Orton Junior. [NOISE] >> That’s the way you stop that. >> And now Sheamus is going to go up to the top rope. >> I don’t know if I agree with this. >> [CROSSTALK] >> You were right King. [NOISE] >> These guys are beating the heck out of each other. >> Yes they are. >> They are throwing bombs. And he’s setting up that superplex that his dad beat so many people with. Scott Irwin, the players can bring this into pro wrestling. There it is, superplex [INAUDIBLE] >> It’s executed perfectly. >> Can he put Sheamus away? Here’s the cover, hook to the leg and a kick out. >> John, we had the privilege of seeing Randy’s hall of fame dad, cowboy Bob here, earlier today. >> Talking about that superplex, watch this, this is a thing of beauty. >> He was the one that told me that Scott Irwin brother, Wild Bill Irwin, was the first one to do this. >> Randy Orton, how perfect is that? >> Unbelievable. >> Still not able to put Sheamus away. And now Orton’s got Sheamus where he wants him. >> Out on the apron, staring into the eyes of the WWE universe, the Viper looking to strike. [INAUDIBLE] Randy Orton with a DDT. [NOISE] >> Cove him. >> Just flatten his mohawk. [NOISE] >> Randy’s hearing the voices, Randy not going for a cover. Randy knows what he wants to finish it with. And that’s the home run, bitch. >> Listen to this place. >> Randy’s feeling it. >> This place is rocking and Randy’s about to go to that place. [NOISE] >> Uh-oh, went for the RKO, Sheamus, Sheamus looking to steal it here and he almost had him. >> Sheamus obviously- >> He’s got him [INAUDIBLE] kick right off the jaw. >> Randy Orton either took too long or Sheamus suckered Randy in, but either way- >> King he caught a flush. Randy could have a broken jaw, no kidding. >> In the middle, Randy Orton’s face. >> Sheamus said he was gonna hit it with that size 14 move right in the jaw, Sheamus just did. >> And now Sheamus looking to put Randy Orton away, off the throne, kicking Orton. >> Randy knows he’s in trouble grabbing those ropes, that is a veteran move. >> Don’t let him drag you the center of the ring, Randy. No. >> And Sheamus though, maybe looking to make it work tap out. Is looking for the cloverleaf. >> And the cloverleaf. >> Is Randy Orton gonna tap out to Sheamus? >> Man your body is not supposed to bend like that. >> Man, after all that Randy Orton’s been through, he doesn’t have a whole lot left. Orton trying to somehow drag his way to the bottom rope but he’s got to drive that 270 pound body of Sheamus with him. >> Man- >> [CROSSTALK] >> Just got hit by that bro kick as well. >> Get to that rope- >> Fingertip away, Randy’s a fingertip away. Can he get there? >> Sheamus really got locked in that. >> Randy can’t quite grab that rope. >> Sheamus drags him back. >> No. >> Gonna have to tap. >> Randy Orton had a finger on the rope, but Sheamus dragged him back to the middle of the ring. And Sheamus had this thing cinched in now, and- >> [CROSSTALK] >> Breathe when you’re in there like that. >> Randy Orton now one last gasp effort to make it to the rope and force a break here. >> He did it, he did it. >> But has the damage been done? >> You can bet a lot of damage has been done. >> No, RKO, out of nowhere. >> Completely out of nowhere. [NOISE] >> Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Randy Orton. >> What a physical match. >> If you feel the sports entertainer from the ground up, that right there is what it looks like. The apex predator, Randy Orton. >> And King mister right in the back Sheamus is nothing to be upset about. What a match tonight versus Orton. >> That’s how you kick off Pay Per View, King. >> Well, it’s battleground, and we just witnessed a hell of a battle. >> How did we ever. [NOISE] >> The Scott Trade Center is definitely a battleground tonight. [NOISE] >> What a match.
