Chapters
We're back with another live of my Rise of WWE 2K25. We're back with another video, and yes, I'm streaming daily— Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and Saturdays and Sundays. So let's finish this game and 100% complete this game, cuz I'm ready to throw some hands and throw out that That yeet, because my hands is sweet.
Yeet.
A crooked referee. Just when we thought punk couldn't stoop any lower.
I know. It's lucky for us Survivor Series isn't a limbo contest. At least we laid out Lexis, which means we get to show CM Punk. I like the sound of that. In fact, if it's Punk we're facing, let's tell the GMs to make the match no DQ.
But unlike that—
well, we've got one episode of SmackDown before Survivor Series. Let's go out to the ring and deliver a message to Mutiny that they can't ignore.
And even though the entire team will be out there, let's make sure Punk knows the message is coming from the two of us.
Then we should lean into our personalities, use what we do best.
I'm thinking we head straight into that ring and face them down. No tricks, no schemes. Show everyone that unlike Punk and Mutiny, We're not afraid of a fair fight.
Yes, straight to the point, face to face, no fear. Let's do it.
And there they are, the team representing WWE at Survivor Series.
Let's go!
Day one, it's just me. Day one, let's go! Yeah, let's go!
Issue with a fan's mutiny sign.
Good, that doesn't belong here.
Hopefully a preview of what they'll do to Mutiny at Survivor Series.
Come on!
You have to believe Mutiny is paying close attention right now. I assume everyone's laser focused as we head into Survivor Series.
Let's hear what Team WWE has to say.
CM Punk, I know you're watching, you spineless, backstabbing SOB. You think you're walking out of Survivor Series with the keys to the kingdom? I got news for you. You're going to be carried out on a stretcher.
You thought you could hide behind your mindless army?
Well, look what we've got.
We're going to turn your mutiny into a massacre. We are only days away from—
CM Punk has heard enough.
Ah, how predictable. The Legion of the Righteous It's always the chained dogs who bark the loudest, so keep barking. But remember, our actions will speak louder than your whining. We'll see you at Survivor Series, where Mutiny will unleash its wrath.
We're predictable? So are you. We know you sent some of your little henchmen here tonight.
Another backstage attack, a surprise invasion. It's getting old, Punk. Let's try something different.
We're here right now. Why wait for Survivor Series?
We're not going to.
See, I sent a few prized members of Mutiny to SmackDown tonight because you were all bark and no bite. We'll be happy to put all four of you down.
Mutiny is here!
Survivor Series can wait, but apparently we can't.
It looks like we're about to have a 4-on-4 match right here on SmackDown after this break. Tensions are at an all-time high here with Survivor Series on the horizon, and this impromptu 8-man tag looks to be the final statement.
Team WWE needs to make this count, Michael. This is their chance to send a strong message to Mutiny and everyone else watching.
No, it's not about messages, Saxton. This is about momentum. No one wants to go into Survivor Series licking their wounds.
Wow.
Oh, that might have He's broken something.
Oh, right on the arm.
Oh, running elbow drop on target.
Trick getting worked on right now.
Williams having trouble getting his bearings. Stomp after stomp after stomp.
That was a showing of control and aggression, something they'll want to keep up.
Yes!
Dominating shoulder tackle, and a direct attack brought the trick there. Yeah, I'd say he should consider tagging out. If he could take a break now, it could pay off big down the line.
Oh man, inverted backbreaker!
Ow! He counters with a great reversal, guys. I am feeling someone is about to get their chest caved in.
I think it's happening!
Ah, she manages to reverse it.
A tag made.
It was a tough enough contending with one of—
inside cradle! Oh, and this small package gets his shoulder up before the 2 count.
These men knew this match is going to be hard fought.
Oh, let's go behind.

Ooh, elbow strike! So much damage inflicted. But now—
oh yikes, a stomp to the guts!
And he has an answer for Jey.
Triple H taking a step back and measuring his opponent. Oh, round and round we go.
Tilt-a-whirl head scissors. What grace.
Float over the—
float over.
Nice DDT.
Overhand chop. Meteora!
Your favorite, Michael. Uh-oh, counter!
Saw it coming.
Oh, Jey Uso with a big punch!
Now he's yeeting around, and Jey Uso having a little fun with another.
She may have just slowed Roxanne down a bit there.
Coming in off the tag.
Oh man, kick to the face!
And Perez saw that coming.
From behind, wheelbarrow into a facebuster.
Nice!
And now placed in the corner.
Oh, compressed in the corner.
Elbow drop down on the chest.
Jarring impact. And an answer from her.
Perez caught by surprise.
Nothing fancy here, just raw power.
The COVID she's going for it, and a shoulder in the air. She's still in this one.
Carefully measured knee drop.
Cargill controlling the pace now.
Cargill just smothering her opponent with offense.
Denied.
Via a wicked punch to the stomach. What a way to get out of that one!
Oh, what a forearm cross! Ronda was waiting for that.
Nothing fancy here, just raw power. She put in the work, now she's looking for the payoff.
Kicks out before the 2 count, not even letting the ref get to the 2 count.
Carefully measured knee drop.
Grabs the leg, just toss their opponent.
Anything Prez is trying is being suppressed.
Roxanne's having trouble assessing the situation.
Might get a submission.
No, she's getting fired up, ready to show her opponent what she's got.
And Roxanne being aligned into position.
Soul coming and slowing it down with the back elbow.
Counters on top of counters, and these opponents are at an impasse.
Jade now trying to capitalize.
Oh, big tackle! This is— Cargill goes into the COVID This Could do it!
A kick out at 2!
I didn't think we'd see a kick out there.
Carefully measured knee drop.
Pressing offense from Cargill.
Cargill has the tide of this match in her favor.
Fast movement gets her out of the way.
Bring it forward!
Just using using their foot as a weapon.
So ruthless.
She's got her bell rung, but she can take it.
At the leg!
Oh, nothing fancy there.
Cover up, this could do it.
A big win! That took a huge effort.
Here are your winners.
A superstar, Jey Uso and Jade Cargill!
Team WWE is already running on all cylinders. What a win against Mutiny here tonight.
They certainly look ready for Survivor Series. And as for Mutiny Here we are.
The future of WWE rests entirely on our shoulders.
No pressure though.
I'm feeling good about our chances after we called Mutiny out and beat the hell out of Punk's hand-selected crew. There's no way they're feeling confident walking into tonight.
Now we just have to keep them off balance.
You have something in mind?
Don't forget, we got my brother and my cousin too. I always love taking it to KO, but we hit Jimmy or Roman's music, KO won't know what to do.
We've got the head of the table at our disposal. Jay, you did the heavy lifting getting us here, but we've got a WMD in our arsenal. I say we use it.
The time for talk is over. Let's get out there and start the series with a win.
Better.
So long as we have this kind of faith in each other, I know I'm going to walk out of Survivor Series on the winning side.
It's the first line of defense for Team WWE.
The following is a best out of 3 series match for control of the WWE. Making her way to the ring, from Orlando, Florida, J. Io Sky looking to draw first blood at Survivor Series. And her opponent, representing Damage Control, from Tokyo, Japan, the NXT Women's Champion, Io Sky.
Not only is Io Sky the NXT Women's Champion. She has the important distinction of representing Mutiny in the first match of the best-of-three series.
Mutiny picked Io for a reason, Byron. She's the exact type of competitor you want to set the tone and jump out to a 1-0 series lead. But I hope I'm wrong for WWE's sake.
We are so close to finding out which side will take the important 1-0 series lead.
The most important Survivor Series in WWE history is underway, and EOS Sky looks ready.
EO is ready, but the woman fighting for WWE earned her spot by taking the fight to— and that's not going to change tonight.
I hope you're right, Saxton. If WWE starts best of 3 series with a loss, we might never recover.
Close line!
Just like that, she turned it around.
Oh, right to the throat! Leaning on the turnbuckle here.
Oh God!
Oh, look at this!
So ruthless.
Grabs the leg, the old leg toss. I've seen Saxon thrown out of a few local bars like that before.
Oh, please don't remind me, Corey.
Oh, Murphy tackle!
Yep.
To be in peak physical condition to pull off a move with that much weight behind it.
I'm off.
Oh, looks like she won't be gloating again anytime soon.
Backdrop suplex.
What a throw of the much larger opponent. Ooh, bad landing, and she's beginning to look a little weary.
Yeah, Jade delivering the pain.
Flapjack!
This is going to be nasty.
Pow!
Leg breaker!
Oh, offbeat tap! Ankle.
Just a perfect mix of pure power and bad intentions.
Vice-like grip on the trapezius muscle.
This is how you wear down your opponent.
Oh, just a good old toss for the leg.
Not the prettiest thing you'll ever see, but it sure looks effective from here. And they were just sent flying pain on that one.
Carefully measured knee drop.
EO has lost any control of this match.
This is a more daunting task than EO bargained for.
Cargill is firing up, no doubt about it.
I don't get this, she's barely paying attention to her opponent. She's supposed to be competing in a match here.
Boom!
Trading back and forth blows now.
The fight is on.
And it's furious. Giving up now is not an option.
They have to finish this. Each exchange just sapping the energy from these two.
Ouch!
Who will break first?
That is the question.
Ooh, they are— things have just gone nuclear.
Warheads landing on the front lines now. That will leave you stunned.
Setting Io up for a suplex here.
Shades of Eddie Guerrero.
Hold on, Io's got backup. The Team WWE was ready. Wait a second, Asuka with the poison mist!
Where did she come from?
Io with a moonsault from out of nowhere!
The Genius of the Sky had a genius plan, and that'll do it.
Unity has drawn first blood here at Survivor Series, and WWE is on its heels, down 1-0.
You have to wonder if we're even gonna see a Unity title match tonight in that third and final contest. Kevin Owens could make this—
nah, that's wild, bro. These [MASKED] for the whole— nah, that's wild.
How's she doing after that missed attack from Asuka?
They're flushing her eyes out in the trainer's room. I think she's angrier than she is hurt, but now we're playing from behind.
It's our own damn fault. How didn't we see Asuka coming?
Overconfidence. We were looking one way and they slipped the knife right in our backs. We're gonna be ready for them this time.
They've used crooked refs, blindside attacks, and chances are that's going to be the theme of the night. How do we hold them off?
You two head to Gorilla and make sure we don't see a repeat of Kyrie and Bailey's interference.
What are you going to do?
Collect our mad as hell partner from the trainer's room. We'll try to stop Mutiny from coming through the crowd.
That sounds like a plan.
When we were kids playing with that old toy WWE ring, you ever imagine that we'd be the last line of defense protecting WWE's future?
As a matter of fact, yeah. Tonight is what I've been imagining for a very long time.
Let's go tie this thing up.
The man is walking into a must-win situation.
Acknowledge Roman Reigns!
Making his way to the ring, from Pensacola, Florida, weighing in at 265 pounds. The OTC Roman Reigns!
Down 0-1 in the best of 3 series means we are playing sudden death with the future of WWE from here on out.
Then I couldn't feel more confident with that man right there fighting for all of us.
Kevin Owens is here to secure a mutiny sweep.
If this man loses to Kevin Owens, Survivor Series is over and the entire future of WWE will rest in the hands of CM Punk. And it's goons.
He's going for the pin.
Kevin Owens kicks out easily.
Too easily.
Could be in search of a second win now.
Caught in a bad spot.
Oh, slam!
He's looking to take things to the outside now. He'll make his way to the ring.
Oh, now look at this.
Now, uh-oh.
Oh, bridging package power bomb! Oh, with authority!
Punches to the ear! Headlock applied, and look at these punches to the ear.
Ouch.
He wastes no time dodging the attack and stays one step ahead. Close Lifted and completely If this man loses to Kevin Owens, Survivor Series is over and the entire future of WWE—
if this man loses to Kevin Owens, Survivor Series is over and the entire future of WWE will rest in the hands of CM Punk and his goons.
That's not going to happen, Byron. Nobody on Team WWE is going to let mutiny— He flushed over 60 years of history down the drain.
I don't know how you're less cynical than I am after everything you've seen, Cole. We lost the first match in this series, and I just know Punk and his accomplices have more up their sleeves.
And he exits the ring.
Better watch the count.
Headed out to ringside. Inside now. What does he have planned?
Holy—
meet the barricade!
Owens was scouted there.
Super kick!
Bam!
Looking for something big here.
Incoming!
Big counter from Reigns.
Oh, look at this!
What a headbutt!
Talk about dismantling your opponent.
Looks like he just got rocked there.
Reigns making sure he acknowledges him after that.
Agonizing.
What the lag?
The old leg toss.
It couldn't have felt good being sucked around like that.
The Tribal Chief oozing disdain for his opponent.
He can be enjoying the moment too much. Giving his opponent a lot of room to recover.
What a headbutt!
Vicious. Oh, that hurt. Reigns establishing the upper hand.
Yeah, Roman has KO right where he wants it now.
Forearm smash after the stomps.
Grabs the leg.
Look at this He just tossed the leg.
It wasn't the height or distance that caused the damage, but they certainly contributed.
Clamping down hard on the trapezius muscle.
And a stomp to the gut.
Heave to side.
Jeez, I don't think people realize the amount of strength it takes to hurl someone one like that.
Gut wrench suplex!
Owens running into some trouble, and bit by bit, Reigns chipping away at the competition.
Complete stalemate of reversals here, neither one giving an inch.
Oh, and he stops that offense.
Carefully placed stomp to the arm.
There it is!
Reversal!
Oh man, the WWE Universe is pouring more fuel on his fire.
Oh, Roman Reigns about to put his opponent away.
No, get—
spin! Wow, Reigns nailed it!
Making it out.
Kevin Owens just powering out of that pinfall. This match is far from over.
Roman has been denied. This is not something we're used to seeing, and by the looks of things, neither is Reigns. This is a situation you want to win. Kevin Owens is down.
Could it be over? It's over! All in a night's work. Here is your winner, the OTC Roman Reigns! We're back in it, Corey!
What a clutch win for Team WWE!
An impressive win over KO, and the series is now tied 1-1. It all comes down to our main event now.
Acknowledge me.
We're right back in this thing.
Kevin Owens got taken apart. Out there.
It helped that it was finally a fair fight. Did you have to stop Mutiny from interfering?
Nope, I was in guerrilla the whole time and they never showed.
You?
Your partner and I split up to cover the crowd and nobody came my way. Maybe they shot their shot with Asuka and Damage Control.
It's possible, but I bet Punk and Bayley have another trick or two up their sleeves.
That's what we're expecting. My partner and I have been through just about everything together. We've seen it all, and we're ready for whatever they throw at us.
Where is your partner?
I don't know. You haven't seen her since the last match?
No. Maybe that's why Mutiny never interfered. They were too busy attacking her.
I'm going to find her.
You don't have time. You have to get to Gorilla for your match. This is our last chance to stop mutiny.
We'll find her. You just go out there and win this thing.
WWE's future rests on this superstar's shoulders.
This superstar and his partner are more than just a tag team.
They're actual friends.
He's got to be worried sick about where she is.
Well, it's not time to be sentimental, Saxton. All that matters now is that this guy has to beat CM Punk and Bayley by himself.
Yo, it's Mutiny's controversial co-founder, Bayley.
You have to assume Bayley has something to do with this turning into a handicap match. She's been trying to stay back the deck against the WWE since Mutiny first started.
You're probably right, Byron, but Bayley has been known to get too full of herself at times. Maybe that'll cause her to take her eye off the prize here tonight.
It's the man.
Look at the cement mutiny and his legacy here tonight. CM Punk has been called a lot of things throughout his career, but after tonight, he could be called the most powerful man in WWE.
Oh, it's not—
there you see what's at stake, the NXT Unity Tag Team titles.
I don't know if this guy is being brave or stupid. Taking on CM Punk and Bayley in a handicap match is a one-way ticket to a beating.
What choice did he have, Corey? Forfeit? The entire future of the WWE is at stake and his partner is missing in action.
The die has been cast and the bell is rung, gentlemen. It's all on that man's shoulders now. Scouted it. Fired back with a punch straight to the face.
Careful, that slam!
Looking for a scoop slam. No, slips behind.
Inverted DDT!
Oh my goodness!
And repeated impacts like that will weaken you mentally as much as it does physically.
Out of the way!
Toss, treating the champ like a featherweight.
This challenger has plenty of power.
Oh my, what a Oh, some damage being dealt to the champ.
He's getting pumped up, he's really in this now. Boom!
Things now not going well for CM Punk.
CM Punk needs to bring the match back to his pace.
Boom! What a punch!
Not looking good in this position.
Ah, just a straight deadlift of power into a Dominator!
And now the hunter has a weak prey, about to pounce.
Elbows to the temple. He's pushing back now.
Looks like he shook the cobwebs and he's turning it around.
Bang!
And now he's really stepping up the pressure.
This is how he wants to take charge.
Well-placed gut punch.
Hey! Neckbreaker!
Uh-oh, manages to reverse it.
Now Bayley looking for some momentum.
That could be the table. Turn that Bayley desperately needed.
Punch lands!
Ooh, and Bayley's resolve might be wavering here.
Bayley is getting the window shut at every opportunity.
Ringing the arm, looking now for a top wrist lock.
Now starts to fight out with some punches to the gut.
Into a neckbreaker!
Puff wasting no motion on the counter. Gets lifted into position.
The situation gets worse for her with every attack.
She has her guard up, but she might need a better plan soon.
He's able to reverse it.
Oh God! Oh, quick way to respond with the reversal.
Clothesline!
Oh, Reigns down an elbow in retaliation.
Dominating shoulder tackle.
Bayley struggling to defend herself.
Bayley's game plan isn't working how she wanted.
We're getting an up close look at this intense battle.
Everything ringside has potential to do some serious injury.
Oh, look at this, just what a barrage of stops!
Tagged with a punch, big splash! Oh man, inverted backbreaker! Ow! Oh, great anticipation!
Backbreaker!
And now the tag! Big impact off the neckbreaker.
The champ looking a little worse for wear. He's reaching under the ring for anything useful.
Oh, they're folding chairs, but they can also fold you in half.
Ooh, time to go for a ride! Exploder suplex!
Oh, did you hear the sound that made?
And there's a neckbreaker!
Oh no!
Uh-oh, but right hands create separation and an escape.
Hey, we're all getting free tickets to the gun show!
Oh, and a stomp right to the back! Ooh, neckbreaker!
And now Punk is being measured.
Kick to the midsection, hoisted up, disorienting spin, and offensive into a spinning powerbomb. It just got as bad as it could for the champ.
Not a good spot to be in.
Sit out!
Powerbomb!
He's headed up high from way up top.
Down!
Debilitating attack on the leg. Counter by CM Punk.
Powerbomb position, throwing down punches and counters out. Oh, what a clothesline!
Oh my, what a splash!
There is some power behind that punch. Resourceful punch to the gut.
Up and—
oh, knee right to the spine! Oh, rising up on spaghetti legs.
This is not where you want to be. Good for the Springboard and miss! Punk never saw that coming. Caught with a neckbreaker!
The champ struggling to fight back, and his body has to be in extreme amounts of pain right now.
Tag's made!
Oh yeah, not waiting any longer to get in this. Getting her set up for something in the corner.
What a clothesline in the corner!
Going straight for the body, doing a little more softening up of the torso area.
Big splash!
Grabs the leg.
Just a good old toss for the leg.
Uh-oh!
And she reversed it!
Each athlete finding an answer for everything thrown at them.
Shoulder tackle, stomping down.
Stop that offense from connecting.
Getting set up in the corner now.
Left an opening.
It got a kick to the face.
Countering each other again and again. Shows great wherewithal there.
Boom!
Just relentless.
The champ with the pin.
He gets the kick out after the one.
Unbelievable display of will in the late stages of this matchup.
Charging up the arm, and there's the clothesline!
Boom! What a right!
Comes—
she covers it!
Oh, rocking the jaw.
Neckbreaker!
Boom!
Take down from behind.
Very nice.
Let's Superstar not done yet.
Champ can't keep the shoulders down.
Shows that this is still anybody's match at this point.
All tied up, both arms locked up.
Trying to break out of this grip and is able to do it. Escapes the hold before irreparable damage is done.
Oh my goodness, the claw is in!
Oh, the claw right to the shoulder!
Tripling attack on the knee.
Bayley showing no answer for the attack.
Any chance for Bayley's offense is being trampled.
Attacking the knee.
Neckbreaker! Ouch, man!
What timing on that counter!
Oh man, the neckbreaker!
Ah, takedown!
And now punches, right? Brutality!
We've got a tag!
Neckbreaker!
Ah, bear hug!
Squeezing the bear hug! Well placed elbow will get you out of it.
That might be enough.
Yes, it is.
Telegraphed that one and delivers a blow to the gut.
Ah, what a neck breaker!
Trying to get up, he has no clue what's in store for him here.
Kick to the midsection.
Oh, this is so much fun to watch.
Big time powerbomb!
The challenger might have what it takes to win this.
The arm getting pummeled. Oh, roll up here and only gets a 1 count.
If that won't beat him, I'm not sure anything will.
Boom!
What impact!
That offense will definitely knock the wind out of him.
Shoulder tackle.
Taking his time, preparing to attack.
What are they going to do here?
Oh, look at the power! Look at the strength!
Revolution!
She's in the spinning powerbomb!
Can the champ recover from that?
Oh, and Bayley has the champ pinned!
Is this it?
Breaks the count!
Getting dangerously close to ending it all there.
Neckbreaker!
Escapes with a knee to the gut.
Oh, this should be it!
Hartman has a part enough— that could be enough to continue the reign.
2, raise the He's got the victory!
I don't know if this guy is being brave or stupid. Taking on CM Punk and Bayley in a handicap match is a one-way ticket to a beating.
What choice did he have, Corey? Forfeit? The entire future of the WWE is at stake and his partner is missing in action.
The die has been cast and the bell is strong, gentlemen. It's all on that man's shoulders now.
Was definitely not thinking about finesse with that one, was only thinking about dominance.
Not giving the champ a moment to breathe with those boots. Assaulting the knee with purpose.
Boom!
What the—
oh, nothing fancy there.
I think the fans actually cheered when Bayley took that hit.
Handicap matches are all about strategy, and right now her strategy simply isn't the effective one, but that could always change. What a shoulder block!
More offense like that and we could be looking at a new champ.
Tossed around like a rag doll, and you don't often see the champion get thrown around that easily.
Ooh!
Great quickness as roll through into the pin.
Great combination, only a one count before the kick out.
A truly impress—
uh-oh, poor—
could cut off the win.
Guillotine applied, all the leverage and pressure staying on the neck.
Have to get the guillotine locked in.
This is all— that was an incredible counter.
Nice running Running crossbody tag.
Oh, look at this! Neckbreaker after the floatover!
That was pretty.
Oh, he saw it coming!
Dominating shoulder tackle.
Grabs the leg.
Look at this, she just tossed the leg!
Just got thrown around like a sack of you know what.
And just being tossed away there, just discarded the champ like a chump. Got drilled with a devastating knee strike, getting tossed, planted with a neckbreaker. I don't know if Punk can withstand much more of this.
Punk needs to reformulate his strategy.
Stick kick, and it's scouted.
Now can capitalize, striking down with the axe handle.
What's he going to do here?
Attacking the foot.
Oh, that hurts.
Oh, that gets reversed on CM Punk.
He gets the tag.
Punishing double axe handle. The challenger unable to stay out of harm's way.
Yeah, and Bayley's clearly bringing the fight here, effectively ruining Saxton's theory of taking shortcuts.
And she heads out to the floor, obviously was in need of a breather.
Hit with the knee.
Is able to slip away from that. Neckbreaker!
She made the tag.
And would you look at that, he just let go of the submission.
Maybe he did the damage he meant to do and has some something else in mind now.
Looking for the suplex, all the way up. Look at this power.
Oh no, escapes, and a chop block takes him down.
Ah, CM Punk stopped that in its tracks.
Backdrop suplex on a High angle right across the shoulders. From the top rope, completely missed the mark there. Crashing and burning in maybe the worst way possible. Beautiful float over neckbreaker. Picture perfect. Ah, look at this! Oh, that could break an arm! Check out the springboard, misses the target.
Saw what was coming and got out of dodge quick. Good night!
The champ with the cover!
Quick count after one.
Still has a great amount of fight in them, not going to let it end like this.
Oh, just a straight deadlift, the power into a Dominator!
And now Punk is being measured.
Kick to the midsection, hoist it up, disorienting spin, and— oh, the momentum into a spinning powerbomb!
The challenger—
this is it, the civil war is over! No, Bayley is not ready to give up on the rebellion, and the referee's helpless since it's no disqualification. Is that who I think it is? We thought Mutiny had taken out half of our team.
They may have taken a shot, but this leader of Team WWE isn't going down that easily.
Bayley and Punk don't look so confident all of a sudden.
What they look is scared, Saxton.
They see Mutiny crumbling before their very eyes. Team WWE has Mutiny on the ropes.
What the fuck? Nah, that's wild.
At the worst possible time, with everything these two have been through, I never thought I'd see this.
This is a shocking betrayal.
It's a choice that can't be taken back.
These two have so much history.
That's what Punk excels at, Saxton— divisiveness.
You should have seen this coming. You hear that?
You should have seen this coming.
Maybe we all should have.
Come on, you made your point.
It's what Newtney's done for months, beating WWE in the most humiliating way possible.
Some more.
Go to sleep!
This is tough to watch. No, don't count it!
Come on!
The referee doesn't have a choice.
It's over.
Mutiny has prevailed and WWE will never be the same.
Is it even WWE anymore? I never thought I'd see this day come.
Is there anyone who somehow can reclaim the legacy of this company?
I think it might be too late.
There's nothing left to say here.
This is disgusting.
What I did tonight in the ring, taking a stand for myself, that felt good. It's been a while since I've had a chance to drop dead weight. Since I moved away from a childhood friend, in fact. Though I'm glad we stayed close. If we hadn't, you would have never reached out. Expecting me to drop everything I had going on and jump in to rescue you. When I agreed to help, I may have bent the truth a little and said I was ride or die. I was also looking for the right opportunity. I was looking for an opportunity to finally put myself front and center. Not just be a sidekick to someone who always puts themselves first. That's what CM Punk gave me. The chance to eliminate the world of fabricated first draft picks, self-obsessed brass ring grabbers, and anyone too stubborn to see the light of change coming to this industry. So to my former childhood bestie, let me be clear. If I had known what was ahead of me all those years ago, I would have taken your kickball and befriended those new kids that that moved in because I had no reason to stay loyal to someone who constantly made everything about themselves. But now that I see clearly, I'm with people who actually care about me. And then you— you lost.
That's really crazy. So my partner betrayed me. That's crazy.
Thanks for making the time to come in today.
I know I'm not even a part of WWE anymore, so I appreciate you bringing me in. Although, if I'm being honest, I hope to hear from you sooner, especially since I've been reaching out ever since Survivor series?
To say things have been complicated would be an understatement. I'm sure you've been following on social media.
It's hard to avert your eyes from a dumpster fire.
Good, then you know Mutiny's taken over Raw and SmackDown and put their people in charge of everything.
Ah, there it is.
What?
You've lost control. You called an uprising best for business because you thought you could control them and now they're in charge. Becky Lynch, Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton— they were all convinced you were secretly running Mutiny. I know it turns out you weren't, but you could not have done a better job helping them if you were.
Listen, this isn't about me. This is about the future of this company. Mutiny has put everything at risk. We're supposed to be on the road to WrestleMania. And they've decided to cancel the Royal Rumble. Why bother when CM Punk has probably already decided he's main eventing? Mutiny is dismantling everything, and they're showing no signs of stopping.
So now you've decided you want Mutiny out. Fine, let me take care of them. If you still have the power, reinstate my contract and Give me the chance to get revenge and fix this.
I can't give you a new WWE contract.
Then why am I here?
Mutiny has my hands tied, and as much as the board would love to see you teach Punk and your former partner a lesson, you'd need an army to take them on. With the kind of chokehold they have on the company right now, it would be damn near impossible for you to get anyone on the current roster to help you.
Great.
So we're just here to talk about how you've given up?
Oh, I haven't given up, and I don't think you have either. Like I said, I don't think anyone on the current roster can help you.
Ah, there's the old cerebral assassin.
Yeah, he's still in there when I need him. But you need to use what got you here. Others may see your fun-loving exterior and underestimate you. You can use that to your advantage. It's your call who to recruit to your army.
Interesting. I know you said no one on the current roster can help, but I have a pretty good idea of some legendary talent who are always ready for a fight.
Good, then I'll leave you to it.
Hey, do you have a second?
The con's not open yet.
You'll have to—
Wow, I know things didn't go well for you with Mutiny, but it's a bit soon to be joining us on the autograph circuit, isn't it? Hey, look who's here! It's the outcast of WWE, DDP!
Of course it's me, and as long as you're not trying to take a cut of the yoga market, We're cool.
Don't worry, I'm not here to sell anything. I'm here to ask for your help. I know you both can see what Mutiny is doing, dismantling the company you built with all the sacrifices you made night after night. WWE means so much to so many people, so I'm asking you for one more sacrifice, because I need an army to take on Mutiny. I need the WWE Legends.
You're right, I've never liked Mutiny, and it's been getting worse and worse since they won at Survivor Series.
But you can't expect us to just drop everything. I mean, look around, we're busy people.
Look, I don't mean any disrespect.
None taken. After all, respect is earned.
We've seen what you can do against the current generation. But if you want our help, you gotta show us what you can do against a legend.
I'd be honored to face either of you in a match.
We'll sit this one out, but we do have a few friends joining us here today if you can stick around until the convention opens.
I'm sure Alundra Blaze or Big Papa Pump will be fired up to get you in the ring.
Scott Steiner? You could say I'm officially pumped for this match.
Bang!
Can you warn me next time you're going to bang?
Stepping into the ring with the Freak of Nature, that takes guts.
Guts or desperation?
Absolutely.
One often leads to the other.
They better remember they asked for this. And Steiner, let's see if Big Papa Pump can still thump a chump.
Steiner's still got biceps like cannons, and he ain't afraid to fire them off.
This is when you need to dig deep.
It's about heart, something I've always prided myself on.
This reminds me of my matches with you, just pure intensity.
Styler's proving why experience trumps raw energy every time. Watch and learn, kids.
I'm about to end this man's whole career with, uh— got him!
1, 2—
oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, old man still got juice. Okay, okay, okay.
Didn't expect to work out the ring rust today. That felt great.
The fans ate it up. DDP and I even had fun. Scott, well, you'll have to ask him, but I think you more than proved that you can hang with the legends.
So you'll help me fight Mutiny?
WWE wasn't perfect. But the way Punk has gone about trying to change it, turning people against each other, putting himself first— this isn't it. DDP and I sent out some texts to other legends. We all have your back, but if we're getting involved, you need to make sure we win. What's the plan?
Mutiny's been launching attacks against WWE since the beginning. I want to take a page out of their playbook and hit them on their home turf at NXT.
I like the sound of that, and I think we can help get you in. A group of WWE Legends shows up at their front door, they'll welcome us in with open arms. And maybe somebody will accidentally leave a side door open for you. What a shame it would be for you to ruin their show.
I'm not going to ruin their show. We are.
Apparently CM Punk has some sort of major announcement regarding WrestleMania. I can't wait.
Mutiny Universe, what I have proven the past few months is that it only takes a spark to start a fire. One person to take a stand and change the trajectory of the whole business. Speaking of changing the business, let's address all those rumors about the WrestleMania main event. Surprise, it's bigger than that. This year, with Mutiny in charge, we're holding WrestleMania CM.
And of course, yours truly will headline Mutiny's biggest show against—
what the hell?
Sorry, Punk, change of plans.
Finn Balor trying to figure out what's going on.
Oh my God, it's X-Pac!
They've infiltrated the infiltrators!
Talk about a change of plans.
WWE Legends Hall of Fame members.
What was in on this 3D through the table? Mutiny's never faced anything like this before.
They're definitely on their heels right now. Is that Alundra Blaze? They're pulling out all the stops. I think this has Punk's attention. Bayley and KO are going to try to level the playing field. Good luck.
It looks like Mutiny is completely off their game.
All hell has broken loose here at Mutiny's home base.
It's about time someone took a stand against them.
Come on, come on!
Trish Stratus and Scott Steiner are here, and look who's with them.
Mutiny's nemesis is back.
That's right, you better run. This is unbelievable. No, Corey, this is beautiful.
Punk's been fooling around and now he's going to find out.
Looks like Punk didn't want a taste of his own medicine.
Punk's hightailing it so fast he didn't have time to blow a kiss.
Is Punk going to get away?
You got to be kidding me.
Not this time.
Maybe we'll finally get justice.
CM Punk is finally going to face the consequences of his actions when he betrayed this man and formed an alliance with his former partner.
He unleashed a whirlwind on his own house.
I hope he gives Punk the beating that treacherous SOB deserves.
Got the leg! Look at this.
He just tossed the leg.
Anywhere in this parking lot seems like fair game right now. There's so many ways this could go wrong.
Oh my goodness. Getting those doors open.
Oh, and an inverted atomic drop!
The parking lot is never the ideal place to settle your business, but here we are.
Let's just hope the local medical facility is on standby. Punk had to expect this after everything he's put him through.
Into the steel door!
Punk's in.
We got to go.
The SOB is going to get away again.
Punk may have escaped, but this battle has been won.
What a bitch. That nigga a bitch, bro.
Bro, it's about damn time.
First, I just want to thank Mutiny for welcoming us into their home. I hope you like what we've done with the place. It was So nice to see all my old friends tonight, especially one in particular. I'm sorry you had to run, but now that I'm back, we'll have plenty of time to catch up because we have a lot to talk about. You picked the wrong side. You followed a guy who likes to stir the pot, rile people up. All in the name of being some sort of holier-than-thou martyr who somehow always knows better than everybody else. CM Punk, maybe you did once speak truth to power, but now, now I think you're so angry about what you still haven't been able to accomplish that you use your words to mask the selfish, entitled, arrogant brat that you've become. Or maybe that's who you've always been. It's clear to me this was no mutiny for the good of the people. What you led was a power grab designed to replace a monarch with a dictator. You're even more corrupt than the thing you hate. But don't worry, punk. The WWE Legends and I aren't even close to finished. Oh, and your precious Performance Center? This is ours now. Want it back? Give me a match and let's settle this once and for all.
Well, that was pretty epic. It was such a blast pushing all those buttons in Gorilla, and I hit a bunch of diamond cutters out of nowhere and made those mutiny jabronis feel the bang. I gotta say, for for a bunch of old-timers, it was pretty damn impressive how fast we had those clowns running.
Well, they don't call you legends for nothing.
They sure don't, kid. Speaking of, I saw your face in Punk in an 8-man tag. I'm sure any of us would love to get back in there and put Mutiny in their place. So which 3 legends are you gonna choose? That's going to be an amazing team. Mutiny's not going to know what the hell hit them.
It's Team WWE here for one Final Mutiny Battle.
The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, Superstar Trish Stratus, Diamond Dallas Page, and Big Papa Punk Scott Steiner.
The leader of this team struck right at the heart of Mutiny and forced this winner-takes-all final showdown.
It's not over until CM Punk and every one of his—
let's go!
I'm ready to take you down!
Let's go!
Punk's revolution has all come down to this.
And CM Punk, Superstar Kevin Owens, and Bayley.
It's hard to even look at these treasonous backstabbers, but hopefully we won't have to look at them much longer.
If it's hard for us, imagine how bad it is for the leader of Team WWE. He's got to be seething that the woman he brought in to fight Mutiny is now one of its last soldiers. It's WWE versus Mutiny one last and final time.
The final battle between WWE and Mutiny has begun. Everything is at stake.
Mutiny was beaten as soon as that man led an army into the Performance Center and evicted the whole treasonous lot of them.
Well, they have an ace in the hole this time. Saxon. His ex-partner is standing across the ring, and she knows everything about him. That's a tactical advantage that's hard to overcome.
Oh man, when you see a unit as aligned as they are, it's really incredible. Oh, the face has been planted.
Block the effort and cut them off with a shot to the gut.
Gets driven into the corner, right now thrown into the top rope.

Oh, not to the belly!
Powerful contact by Page, and that could cause a bad day at the office for Owens.
Gets out of the way of that one.
DDT, planted! Look at the height!
Now that'll do some serious damage.
Page is taking charge.
Owens needs to find an opening.
You know, we can stay there, guys. He saw it coming from Owens.
Ooh, clothesline delivered!
An important tag here.
This could change the match.
Oh, look at this!
Neckbreaker!
Picture perfect!
Suplexes, slams, and bombs are all painful, but being slapped like that is humiliating.
You would know, Saxton. You hit a move like that, you're not just trying to win, you're Trying to—
uh-oh, suicide dive to the outside! Cole does it better, risking it all and able to connect like a homing missile.
And now thrown back into the ring.
Oh, the Tilt-A-Whirl sidewalk slam!
Chucked right out of the ring.
Oh, what a calf kick!
Oh man, just punishing! Measured kick to the vertebrae.

Oh God, turns it around in the corner.
Has to find a way out of there. These two showing how well they know each other.
Chess match of counters and reversals happening here.
Good grief, he answers right back.
The power, the strength, and now just pressing.
And a drop.

Oh, what a kick!
Momentum is running away from Punk.
Punk needs to be resourceful, find a moment to strike.
Oh man!
Powerbomb position, but right hands create separation and an escape. He gets the tag, and here we go.
The complexion of this match is about to change.
Nice running crossbody. Connecting with a sharp elbow.
Cuts off their offense with a swift elbow to the gut.
And that was an efficient form of offense with that move.
Hold on.
Lands the elbow. Oh, this is going to hurt. Ah, stomp to the belly.
Oh God, that hurt.
Devastating elbow.
Bayley's fortitude being put to the test there. Stratus put a hurting on her with that one. Stratus applying the pressure.
Yeah, Trish is remaining the aggressor here.
Oof! Ooh, man!
Oh, foot just stomping down!
Ooh!
Oh man, Bayley is now under pressure.
It's like a muzzle's being placed on Bayley's offense.
Kick by Trish! Can Stratus put things away here?
Oh!
Boom!
Oh my God, all the momentum is swung to Trish Stratus. Trish is all fired up.
Trish Stratus with a strategically placed shot.

what are they going to do here?
Oh, look at the power! Look at the strength! Revolution's in a spinning powerbomb!
Forget it, you can count to 30 after that. Keeps his team in this one.
And looking at Kevin Owens.
Boom!
What a forearm double axe handle!
Goes for the pin.
The end could be near.
And just like that, the night The nightmare that was Mutiny is officially over.
Normally I'd say that's overly dramatic, Saxton, but not after—
let's go!
And fuck you too for betraying me.
Happy with the outcome.
Mutiny may be finished, but I have a feeling there's still business to be settled.
Looks like we're gonna have some words exchanged here.
No, you don't get to just walk away.
You told the world at Survivor Series just how disposable you I am.
So now it's my turn.
I always thought that the two of us had a special bond, that we were lucky to have found each other so young. But you only liked me because I was the kid with the pool, the video games, the only one who had your back when you got in trouble. I was convenient. So when you had the opportunity to jump to something even more convenient at Survivor Series, you didn't even give it a second thought.
But for what?
Power without responsibility?
An easier road?
A match at the showcase of the immortals? WrestleMania CM against some hand-picked opponent?
Don't worry, I'll make sure you still get a match at the real WrestleMania against me. We do have a bond.
I know you better than anyone. I know your weaknesses, your flaws, your fears.
I know everything.
Which is why I know exactly how to tear you apart at WrestleMania.
Does this mean we're getting WrestleMania this year after all?
Then I think we have our main event.
I can't wait for these two to finally settle their issues at WrestleMania.
Man, does it feel great to be at WrestleMania, the real WWE version. I don't know if I could have stomached that Punk-branded nonsense. It was a hectic few weeks getting everything together last minute, but we pulled it off.
Shows what you can accomplish when we work as a team, not as an individual. Individual who puts their own interests first.
I have a feeling I know who you're talking about there.
I guess we all learned a lesson. In hindsight, it was a mistake to give CM Punk as much leeway as you did, letting him take over an entire WWE brand with Butney and giving him a real opportunity at Survivor Series. But I bet you never thought he would take so far.
A mistake? I'm not sure about that. Everything worked out in the end, didn't it? I put my faith and confidence in you, and you delivered. May have been a few bumps in the road, but look at us now, standing here at WrestleMania before what's sure to be an epic main event, with everything right in the world.
It'll be a lot better after I win this match, but then we'll have to have a real conversation.
A real conversation about what?
About—
I know, and I'm going to insist on a thorough review of all our policies and practices after WrestleMania.
We don't need a review, we need change, and I'm going to bring it.
I look forward to working with you to bring about that change.
You had your chance. I think I'll take it from here.
Well, it is official. I have a job again.
I see what you did there. Good to see you again, Adam.
Welcome back.
Thank you. And thank you for everything you did to take care of Mutiny?
Ah, it was no problem. Well, to be honest, it was a lot of problem, but I'm glad it's done. Just one final loose end to tie up.
So what are your plans?
Well, this WrestleMania match is looming pretty large on my mind right now.
I'm sure, but I mean after that. You have some influence here now. I overheard what you said to Triple H earlier. I know you won't go go all punk on us. But what do you have in mind? Any thought about the former Mutiny members?
I believe they need to earn their redemption. You can't just try to overthrow an entire company without any consequences. I'm not saying they're gone forever, but respect and reinstatement needs to be earned, not given freely.
Any big changes you'd like to see tackled first? Punk's mutiny destroyed all our plans, but maybe that means there's an opportunity to tweak or reinvent some things.
I've got a few ideas, but the one I want to tackle first is completely original and totally new.
Well, my interest is officially piqued. But I've taken up enough of your time before your big match. We'll catch up later. Good luck out there tonight.
Thanks, Adam.
It's the man who's out for ultimate payback.
The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, from New York, weighing in at 163 lbs, the Superstar!
That Superstar has been looking for retribution since Survivor Series.
With good reason, Saxton. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and it Chill just came over this WrestleMania arena.
Let's take him down! This man has been put through hell, and he's ready to return the favor.
There's the bell, and we're underway with WrestleMania's main event.
This one isn't just a match, it's as personal as it gets. Their lives and careers have run in parallel since the beginning, and now that journey comes to to an end.
These two people helped create each other, and now one of them is going to destroy the other once and for all. I honestly can't believe we just saw a human being tossed like that.
Striking with a knee.
She's just getting hammered away on.
Yeah, and her offense is seemingly ineffective here.
Look at this, just what a barrage of stomps!
A proverbial mud hole has been stomped, and now it's time to walk it dry.
That was smart by him. She countered that into her own offense.
A string of counters.
Neckbreaker!
He's bringing his A-game at the moment.
An absolute display of dominance from him here.
Massive miscalculation on that one.
Oh, on the apron, lifting it up into the ring. Bam! Suplex!
Being able to pull that off, no one is going to question if you skip going to the gym today.
Hey, we're all getting free tickets to the gun show!
Oh, and a stomp right to the back!
And this onslaught is just draining her energy.
So much energy is focused on keeping her down now. You want to control the tempo, you want to dictate the pace. That right there is how you do it. Ways to land, but that might be the hardest.
Oh, and it's reversed!
He manages to slip out of the way.
Down across the neck!
Stomp after stomp after stomp.
And if the first stomp doesn't send you the message, the follow-up ones definitely will.
Dominator!
No way!
Astounding power! End of days!
Slamming the door shut on this match.
This This match is over.
Not only has a personal score been settled, but the final round of mutiny has been cleared from WWE.
Good riddance!
A clear statement has been made tonight: long live the Showcase of the Immortals.
It'll outlive us all, Michael.
When good people stand up for what they believe in, they can turn back an entire rebellion.
Now that the mutiny is over, it's time to start thinking about what's next.
At least we know we're in good hands with this superstar leading the way. For Byron Saxton, Corey Graves, I'm Michael Cole, and this was WWE WrestleMania.
