WWE 2K26 - John Cena vs. Shinsuke Nakamura - Hell in a Cell Match | PS5" [4K60]Added:
[cheering] [bell] >> These superstars locked inside the Devil's Playground as this Hell in a Cell match officially gets underway. No count outs, no disqualifications, no rules really in this match, just pure unbridled carnage and chaos incoming.
>> The Cell truly Stiff shot right off the bat. A fiery exchange starting here.
>> Big shots being fired right now.
You can feel the contact and so does the WWE Universe.
>> Barely anything left, but still slugging away.
All this heavy artillery >> And these two just keep on Great job.
>> Looks like we know who this is exactly what I want to see, man.
Two glorious gladiators.
>> Hot start, we're not even close to the end yet.
>> Big big back body drop.
>> What elevation.
>> Oh.
>> [cheering] >> From the middle rope.
>> Oh, what a splash. That's to knock [cheering] all the wind out of you.
>> Directly into the midsection.
>> Showing the talents of weakness, a pretty effective gimmick.
>> Hell in a Cell has been a scene of many career defining moments.
>> Not to mention being thrown straight out of the Cell.
>> And Cena kicks out.
>> Oh, he's not going down that easy. He is looking to go out into the deep water.
>> The larger than life Cena being brought back down to earth.
>> Such brutality from Sheamus.
>> Uh-oh, he counters with a great reversal.
>> [cheering] >> That kick caught him in the eye.
Waist lock applied and reversed with a running drop kick.
Cesaro with a big blow.
Getting sent to the turnbuckles.
He's working him down hard with a scoop slam.
Wants to finish this.
What a cross body.
Here he goes for the win.
Raises the shoulder before the one count. Not even close to down and out at this point.
>> [cheering] [cheering] >> From the second rope.
Down he goes.
He's able to dodge that one in time.
Straight punch.
Out of the ring, still surrounded by the hell that is the steel structure. He gets into the ring and Shinsuke victim to some further punishment there.
>> Things are really heating up inside the cell.
Cesaro is taking his toll on those thumb tacks.
>> Oh, come on. This is turning a corner now. This is sadistic thinking here.
Moving out from the ring closer to those towering walls of the cell.
>> [cheering] >> Taking out the goody bag and I'll tell you right now, there ain't no treats in there, baby.
>> Sending to the corner.
>> [cheering] >> Forearm to the kidneys.
Finds the answer for Nakamura.
>> [cheering] >> Nice series of strikes. Such precise striking.
>> Grabbing his arm back and now he's spreading out the thumb tacks. No doubt.
He's got him >> [cheering] >> onto the thumb tacks. Just had no way to avoid the tacks. Pouring the thumb tacks out. Emptying every last one from that bag.
>> Oh man, someone's getting >> onto the thumb tacks.
>> Just tearing into all that flesh.
Turning into a human pin cushion.
>> Cena is up to something now. Looking under the ring.
>> Look like a >> Oh, come on. Not the thumb tacks. He's taking things too far now.
>> Not the thumb tacks.
>> [cheering] >> All those thumb tacks. They are going to look like chopped meat after that.
>> Effective counter.
And now I see some blood on the face of Cena.
He gets back into the ring.
>> [cheering] >> Shinsuke Nakamura with a nice reversal.
>> OH, NO.
YOU CAN see every counter to the midsection. And they go for the three count.
I don't KNOW WHO'S MORE SHOCKED. HE JUST kicked out. The fans or the announcers?
>> Yeah, and the Cena Uh-oh, counters to gain the advantage.
Oh boy, those thumb tacks just being spread out.
>> A target you very much want to avoid if you can. Getting your mind back into this is one thing, but getting your body back into it is another.
>> Suplex drops him drops him on the neck.
>> Ooh.
Oh, Nakamura.
What a slow driver.
She's got Nakamura.
Two.
And he fights it off. What a match.
>> [cheering] >> Reverses into a kick straight into the face.
>> [cheering] >> Stops the kick.
Oh, did you hear that thud?
>> [cheering] >> These men have given everything they have and more at this point.
>> This is a critical moment now to see who can find a way to keep going.
>> He is looking to do some serious harm.
>> [cheering] >> Ooh.
>> That would have been painful without landing on those tacks. I think they're going to go into shock after that.
>> In the count of 10, Cena might be done here.
>> How on earth did that happen? Got him right on the metal.
>> And the action is shifting now into that dangerous area between the railing and the walls of the cell.
>> [cheering] >> Get ready for chaos. The chair is coming out.
>> [cheering] >> Oh.
>> Hands outside the ring. And the >> Count out means he can take his time.
>> [cheering] >> Retrieving a bag from underneath the ring. Let the guessing games begin.
Ooh, right into the thumb tacks.
>> I can't believe it. There's no way he can continue. He's [cheering] spreading those thumb tacks around like the seeds of pain they are.
>> [cheering] >> Oh, barbed wire. And oh, no. Can Knockemout prevent this from being locked in?
Saddle's in. Submission on the court.
>> [cheering] >> Trying to escape, and yes, he's in Here's the cover. Is it in? Oh!
>> Wait, look at the feet. The feet are on the ropes.
>> Look at this superstar defy expectations.
Got to love it.
>> [cheering] >> Oh, out of sorts. He won't see this coming at all.
>> [cheering] >> Uses an elbow to disrupt that attack.
>> [cheering] >> Those thumbtacks!
>> Just decorated with all that sharp and >> If John Cena gets this, if John Cena can lock this in, this could spell trouble.
The spine [cheering] is under attack here.
>> He's fighting desperately to wriggle free. Knockemout does it.
>> Submission is broken.
>> Going to the top rope. What's his plan?
[cheering] A pie!
Knock him out with the elbow.
>> This just might be the greatest match we've seen in a while.
>> I don't think anyone can argue that.
That was taking the attack to the competition with that one. So much disdain with each of these shots.
Something about this is starting to feel way more personal.
Cena with the surprise >> This is ugly. This is bad, man. And it's going to get worse. Later [cheering] tonight, will you have to put up with >> Knockemout!
>> He's from No! Not the thumbtacks!
>> [cheering] >> And a kickout! No one saw that coming.
>> And there was a little something extra on that kickout. You can't just disrespect a man with his own moves like that and expect them to take it lying down.
>> But Cena now he take his foot off the gas. He was almost at the finish line.
>> Oh, sorry, but he countered. Looks like he will take the top line.
Well, getting forward. Neither one giving up any ground.
No one is holding back here.
Going all out.
>> It's Austin setting in and neither one of them is letting up.
>> For Finn, more than set to give back to these superstars.
Oh, this crowd is loving every second of it.
Shinsuke scoring kicks his opponent now.
Don't set up.
Can Joe survive this?
>> There's a shoulder up almost immediately.
>> What [cheering] a kick out. This match has been absolutely incredible.
>> But Nakamura will have to remain unstoppable and continues his assault to win this.
>> [cheering] >> The WWE Universe is on their feet watching this war unfold.
>> And much like the two warriors competing here tonight, I can assure you they won't soon forget it.
>> Nakamura under the thumb tacks. Joe is immediately being stabbed by hundreds or thousands of tacks. I wouldn't even wish that on my worst enemies. Oh no, are they setting the table on fire?
>> This is too damn far.
>> [cheering] >> Wicked clothesline. You can see every single thumb tack stuck on the skin, stuck on the gear. There may be nothing worse.
Oh, crashing under the thumb tacks.
Launched right out of the ring.
>> [cheering] >> Looking to explore every inch of hell here now.
>> Yet another targeted attack to the torso there.
>> Oh, Cena got caught with the reversal.
>> Each competitor showing they've done their homework.
>> [cheering] >> AND THEY SPEAR THROUGH THE SIDE WALL WITH A SPEAR!
>> WHAT THE HELL IS GOING on around here?
Who built this cell? We got [cheering] beat by through the face. You got to be kidding me.
>> Strikes with the forearm.
>> Nakamura might need to find a reprieve.
>> Nakamura having a tough time here.
>> Does he even know what he's doing? Does he know how close he is to flirting with disaster?
>> And hopefully you're not expecting anything akin to safety when you start climbing the side.
>> It looks like he's going to press his luck.
>> Climbing up the cell wall.
>> [cheering] >> He better have something in mind.
Look at the long way down when you climb up the cell.
>> Okay, he should really focus on the match.
>> Serves him right for running his mouth.
>> I get that these superstars are seeing red and just want to fight, but this has got to be the worst place to do it.
>> Oh, they're at the >> Cena!
>> [screaming] >> WILL JOHN CENA put him away?
>> Intense look in the eyes as he calculates his next strike.
>> [cheering] >> Got them off their feet here.
>> [cheering] >> And straight into the canvas.
>> I still can't believe we saw a man fall to the ground like that.
>> I can't believe no one has put a stop to this match.
>> [cheering] [cheering] >> Big kick is down.
Does he have it?
He gets the kick out after the one.
>> After everything we've seen tonight, he must be using the reserve tanks at this point.
>> This connects with a straight punch.
[cheering] >> He's handing out a black eye with that escape.
>> [cheering] [screaming] >> Nakamura now with the power.
Under the thumb tacks.
Just immediately being stabbed by hundreds or thousands of tacks.
>> I wouldn't even wish that on my worst enemies.
>> Just getting out of the ring.
Right now just stalking. Just stalking.
That's going to keep Cena down.
Two count.
Oh my.
And the resiliency to win this one.
>> And here's another look at some incredible action from a match that we're not likely to stop talking about for a long, long time.
>> [cheering] >> Here is your winner, Shinsuke Nakamura.
>> An absolutely impressive performance and win here tonight.
And John Cena didn't exactly have the Super Cena performance the WWE Universe was hoping for tonight.
