00:09:59,365 --> 00:10:02,435
I am absolutely ready to restore

176
00:10:02,501 --> 00:10:06,772
a certain level
of prestige and honor to that title.

177
00:10:06,839 --> 00:10:08,908
And the first step is taking it off of you

178
00:10:08,975 --> 00:10:12,278
and getting it sanitized
as soon as possible.

179
00:10:15,781 --> 00:10:17,583
I'm glad it felt good for you, Kevin.

180
00:10:18,384 --> 00:10:20,252
But I think we can all agree it's too bad

181
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:23,622
you didn't take advantage
of your one and only shot at the title.

182
00:10:24,423 --> 00:10:26,792
[crowd booing]

183
00:10:28,894 --> 00:10:32,632
You see, Kevin, the brass knuckles,
that was a setup.

184
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,402
You took the bait, dummy.

185
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:38,037
You showed your true colors.

186
00:10:38,104 --> 00:10:42,942
I was playing chess,
you were playing Go Fish, son.

187
00:10:44,110 --> 00:10:45,277
Face it, dude.

188
00:10:46,212 --> 00:10:47,480
I outsmarted you.

189
00:10:54,387 --> 00:10:59,125
Wait, who do you think you're outsmarting?
Look, this may be new to you,

190
00:10:59,191 --> 00:11:02,528
but all these people have been watching me
for almost ten years now.

191
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:05,531
They all know that Kevin Owens…

192
00:11:06,832 --> 00:11:09,802
is gonna stop at nothing
to win a match, okay?

193
00:11:10,603 --> 00:11:14,073
Hit somebody from behind? Sure.
Kick someone in the balls? Yeah.

194
00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:16,976
Hit somebody with brass knucks?
Absolutely.

195
00:11:18,377 --> 00:11:23,082
The thing is, look, I got caught, okay?
I got caught.

196
00:11:23,149 --> 00:11:26,919
And, you know, I… I realized everyone
was pretty mad at the referee for that,

197
00:11:26,986 --> 00:11:28,087
but let's be honest.

198
00:11:28,721 --> 00:11:29,989
Great job on his part.

199
00:11:30,056 --> 00:11:32,758
Referee, if you're back there,
fantastic work.

200
00:11:32,825 --> 00:11:34,226
You should be proud of yourself.

201
00:11:35,261 --> 00:11:37,630
I got caught and that was my bad.

202
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:39,331
But here's the thing, Logan.

203
00:11:39,398 --> 00:11:40,966
Let me tell you something.

204
00:11:42,068 --> 00:11:45,771
The next time we get
in the ring together for that title,

205
00:11:45,838 --> 00:11:49,909
you're gonna realize I don't need
brass knucks to beat your dumb ass.

206
00:11:50,476 --> 00:11:52,945
[crowd cheering]

207
00:11:56,182 --> 00:11:58,951
First off, you're way too close to me
and you smell horrible.

208
00:12:01,087 --> 00:12:03,389
I bathed in Prime before I came here.

209
00:12:05,591 --> 00:12:08,160
Must not have been Cherry Freeze.
That flavor's delicious.

210
00:12:09,295 --> 00:12:10,830
Listen to me, Kevin. It's over.

211
00:12:10,896 --> 00:12:13,199
You ain't getting a rematch. You blew it.

212
00:12:13,265 --> 00:12:14,934
Your title shot is over.

213
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,137
So why don't you go, uh, focus
on whatever it is that you do,

214
00:12:18,804 --> 00:12:21,040
and I'm gonna focus
on whatever it is that I do,

215
00:12:21,107 --> 00:12:22,875
which is everything amazing.

216
00:12:22,942 --> 00:12:27,680
And I'm gonna go find a real challenger.
Someone who is definitely not you.

217
00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:31,050
Why don't you focus on your match
with Austin Theory,

218
00:12:31,117 --> 00:12:33,486
and I'm gonna go talk smack
about you on commentary.

219
00:12:33,552 --> 00:12:34,587

Kevin Owens better shift his focus
immediately to the task at hand

in the form of the youngest
United States Champion in WWE history,

237
00:13:30,776 --> 00:13:33,579
[Wade] Well, after a huge night
at the Royal Rumble,

238
00:13:33,646 --> 00:13:37,149
Cody Rhodes is now left
with a huge decision to make.

239
00:13:37,216 --> 00:13:39,618
Who will be his WrestleMania opponent?

240
00:13:39,685 --> 00:13:42,454
World Heavyweight Champion
Seth "Freakin" Rollins

241
00:13:42,521 --> 00:13:46,926
or WWE Universal Champ
"The Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns?

242
00:13:46,992 --> 00:13:49,628
Cody is here to make his decision
later tonight.

243
00:13:49,695 --> 00:13:52,131
While you're talking decisions,
speaking of someone who's got

244
00:13:52,198 --> 00:13:53,566
a lot of big decisions to make,

245
00:13:53,632 --> 00:13:56,635
we are joined at commentary
by the United States Champion,

246
00:13:56,702 --> 00:13:57,636
Logan Paul.

247
00:13:57,703 --> 00:14:00,439
Logan, you made it abundantly clear
you're done with KO.

248
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:01,707
KO missed his chance.

249
00:14:01,774 --> 00:14:03,809
What's next for The Maverick
and your title?

250
00:14:03,876 --> 00:14:06,478
[Logan] Whoever I want, whenever I want,
wherever they want it.

251
00:14:06,545 --> 00:14:09,281
I don't care, but everyone knows
we're going to Australia.

252
00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:12,117
-Elimination Chamber will be fireworks.
-[Wade] And I gotta ask you,

253
00:14:12,184 --> 00:14:16,422
you are the Social Media Megastar
amongst other things, Logan Paul.

254
00:14:16,488 --> 00:14:19,358
Discoverable on social media as we speak

255
00:14:19,425 --> 00:14:22,895
is that you are running scared
of Kevin Owens, that you got lucky.

256
00:14:23,429 --> 00:14:25,664
Put it to bed.
These aren't my words, to be clear.

257
00:14:25,731 --> 00:14:27,066
-Put it to bed right now.
-Come on.

258
00:14:27,132 --> 00:14:29,902
Luck only happens when you're dealing
with horseshoes and hand grenades.

259
00:14:29,969 --> 00:14:31,270
Certainly not Logan Paul.

260
00:14:31,337 --> 00:14:33,706
[Graves] Well, we got Logan Paul
here at commentary.

261
00:14:33,772 --> 00:14:34,707
And notice…

262
00:14:34,773 --> 00:14:38,577
number one trend in the United States,
#SmackDown.

263
00:14:38,644 --> 00:14:40,613
I wonder if The Maverick
has something to do with that.

264
00:14:40,679 --> 00:14:43,115
Nah, not at all. This show is great.
The program is great.

265
00:14:43,182 --> 00:14:45,017
I'm just happy to be an employee
of the WWE.

266
00:14:45,084 --> 00:14:47,286
[Wade] You just gave us
an even greater lead at the top.

267
00:14:47,353 --> 00:14:49,688
-That's all it is, Logan.
-[Logan laughs]

268
00:14:49,755 --> 00:14:52,925
[Graves] Right now, Kevin Owens one-on-one
with a man he has competed against

269
00:14:52,992 --> 00:14:56,028
many, many times, Austin Theory.

270
00:14:56,095 --> 00:14:58,597
Wade, what are you looking to see
out of Theory in this one?

271
00:14:58,664 --> 00:15:03,969
[Wade] I mean, I've already noticed
the supreme conditioning of Austin Theory.

272
00:15:04,036 --> 00:15:07,740
He has hit WrestleMania conditioning
ten weeks early.

273
00:15:07,806 --> 00:15:09,008
[Owens] You can't do that!

274
00:15:09,074 --> 00:15:11,610
[Wade] That's not doing him much good
in there with KO right now.

275
00:15:11,677 --> 00:15:13,012
[Graves] Let me ask you this, Logan.

276
00:15:13,078 --> 00:15:16,749
You just competed several days ago
against Kevin Owens.

277
00:15:16,815 --> 00:15:20,119
Were you surprised at all by Owens
in the ring between the bells?

278
00:15:20,185 --> 00:15:21,954
[Logan] Admittedly, absolutely.

279
00:15:22,021 --> 00:15:24,556
The guy is much better
than I thought he was.

280
00:15:24,623 --> 00:15:27,993
And the next time I face him,
if I ever give him that opportunity,

281
00:15:28,060 --> 00:15:30,562
he will not get the blessing
of my ignorance.

282
00:15:31,864 --> 00:15:34,199
[Graves] You see a big right hand
from Kevin Owens.

283
00:15:34,266 --> 00:15:37,836
A right hand similar to the one
he threw your way, Champ,

284
00:15:37,903 --> 00:15:41,607
-this past Saturday at the Royal Rumble.
-[Logan] With brass knuckles. Go on.

285
00:15:41,674 --> 00:15:43,776
[Graves] I was getting there.
I was getting there.

286
00:15:43,842 --> 00:15:46,545
Kevin Owens got caught
utilizing the brass knuckles.

287
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:49,248
And Theory gets the knees up just in time.

288
00:15:50,215 --> 00:15:54,019
[Wade] We talked about the hot temper
of Kevin Owens a little earlier tonight.

289
00:15:54,086 --> 00:15:57,022
He has been jaw-jacking
in every direction.

290
00:15:57,089 --> 00:15:59,525
And that distraction perhaps has led…

291
00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:02,428
Austin Theory to get an advantage here.

292
00:16:02,494 --> 00:16:05,798
[Graves] Austin Theory clearly impressing
our United States Champion.

293
00:16:05,864 --> 00:16:07,833
Logan, what are the odds
that an Austin Theory,

294
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:09,335
perhaps a Grayson Waller,

295
00:16:09,401 --> 00:16:12,237
receive an opportunity in the future
at your United States Title?

296
00:16:12,304 --> 00:16:14,840
You know, we'll see.
These are wrestlers I respect.

297
00:16:14,907 --> 00:16:16,575
Austin's physique is second to none.

298
00:16:16,642 --> 00:16:18,978
This guy is, I'm looking at him
and I wanna drool.

299
00:16:19,044 --> 00:16:20,145
[Theory] That's right, baby!

300
00:16:20,212 --> 00:16:21,780
-[Graves] Understood.
-All day!

301
00:16:22,348 --> 00:16:23,882
[Graves] Tremendous physical condition…

302
00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:26,552
for Austin Theory.

303
00:16:26,618 --> 00:16:28,654
As I mentioned, a man who at one time
was the youngest

304
00:16:28,721 --> 00:16:31,390
United States Champion in WWE history,

305
00:16:31,457 --> 00:16:35,027
raining down lefts
on the "Prizefighter" Kevin Owens.

306
00:16:35,094 --> 00:16:39,531
[Wade] Austin Theory has to be the envy
of an entire industry to be that good,

307
00:16:39,598 --> 00:16:41,967
that successful, and still that young.

308
00:16:42,034 --> 00:16:44,870
[Graves] Well, Logan, I've got to ask you,
during your match at the Royal Rumble

309
00:16:44,937 --> 00:16:47,840
with Kevin Owens, was there ever a moment
where you felt doubt creep in?

310
00:16:47,906 --> 00:16:50,476
-Where you thought perhaps--
-[Logan] Yeah, when he cheated, Corey.

311
00:16:51,043 --> 00:16:51,910
He cheated.

312
00:16:52,478 --> 00:16:54,713
When you cheat, you lose.
You're a loser like Kevin.

313
00:16:55,547 --> 00:16:57,449
[Graves] Well, obviously,
it cost Owens the victory.

314
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,719
Out of the way. Senton crushes Theory.

315
00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:04,656
[Wade] I've got to tell you, I'm impressed
you're even here tonight, Logan Paul,

316
00:17:04,723 --> 00:17:07,326
after the beating you took
at the end of that matchup.

317
00:17:07,393 --> 00:17:08,927
[Graves] Clear the deck.

318
00:17:08,994 --> 00:17:10,262
Cannonball!

319
00:17:11,730 --> 00:17:13,899
Theory in a world of trouble.
Cover by Owens.

320
00:17:13,966 --> 00:17:15,534
-[referee] One, two…
-Deep hook of the leg.

321
00:17:16,635 --> 00:17:18,604
And Austin Theory survives.

322
00:17:18,670 --> 00:17:22,274
[Wade] Austin Theory starting to live
dangerously as the champ looks on.

323
00:17:27,279 --> 00:17:29,048
[Graves] Logan,
is there any concern on your part

324
00:17:29,114 --> 00:17:31,917
that perhaps you've added fuel to the fire
that is Kevin Owens,

325
00:17:31,984 --> 00:17:34,119
-that you provided the Prizefighter?
-[Logan] I don't care!

326
00:17:34,186 --> 00:17:36,522
I don't care, Corey. He's washed up.
He's 39 years old.

327
00:17:36,588 --> 00:17:38,624
He's got duct tape on his shirt.
It doesn't matter.

328
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:40,492
I won. He's not getting his rematch.

329
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:43,429
[Graves] Theory looking to end this here
on the ring apron.

330
00:17:44,563 --> 00:17:46,832
Countered by Owens. Are you kidding me?

331
00:17:48,133 --> 00:17:49,935
[chuckling] Oh!

332
00:17:50,002 --> 00:17:53,772
Theory reverses.
Spine-crushing impact for Owens.

333
00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:56,241
Can the Prizefighter get back into this?

334
00:17:56,308 --> 00:17:57,776
All day!

335
00:18:02,414 --> 00:18:04,950
[Graves] This is Friday Night SmackDown
on Fox.

336
00:18:05,017 --> 00:18:07,786
One-on-one.
Kevin Owens versus Austin Theory.

337
00:18:07,853 --> 00:18:11,623
We are joined at commentary
by the United States Champion, Logan Paul.

338
00:18:11,690 --> 00:18:14,893
And just moments ago,
the action continued.

339
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:17,529
Kevin Owens would take it high risk.

340
00:18:17,596 --> 00:18:20,632
Looking for a picture-perfect
Swanton Bomb.

341
00:18:20,699 --> 00:18:23,769
But Theory able to get the knees up
just in time,

342
00:18:23,836 --> 00:18:27,005
much to the delight
of our guest commentator, Logan Paul.

343
00:18:27,072 --> 00:18:29,308
Logan, have you been impressed
by Austin Theory thus far?

344
00:18:29,374 --> 00:18:31,610
[Logan] Austin Theory is excellent.
He's an excellent wrestler.

345
00:18:31,677 --> 00:18:32,845
He's the future of WWE.

346
00:18:32,911 --> 00:18:36,081
And anytime I can see Kevin Owens
get his butt beat, I like him.

347
00:18:37,349 --> 00:18:40,119
[Wade] Certainly Austin Theory,
not just a pretty boy,

348
00:18:40,185 --> 00:18:43,455
likes a taste of his own blood
and can keep swinging.

349
00:18:43,522 --> 00:18:45,457
But that might do it for KO.

350
00:18:46,191 --> 00:18:48,827
[Graves] Owens looking to turn the tides
with a thunderous lariat,

351
00:18:48,894 --> 00:18:50,629
flattening Austin Theory.

352
00:18:50,696 --> 00:18:54,233
But Kevin Owens had better keep
his attention in the ring, not here.

353
00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:56,168
[Grayson] Come on, Theory!

354
00:18:57,369 --> 00:19:00,806
[Wade] This has been the issue
throughout the matchup for Kevin Owens.

355
00:19:00,873 --> 00:19:03,142
Simply enemies at every turn.

356
00:19:03,876 --> 00:19:05,477
[Graves] It was basically the same issue

357
00:19:05,544 --> 00:19:07,379
that Owens had to deal with
Saturday night,

358
00:19:07,446 --> 00:19:10,916
being blinded by his own rage.
Got caught breaking the rules.

359
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:13,118
And it cost the Prizefighter.

360
00:19:13,185 --> 00:19:17,156
Theory in bad shape in the bottom
turnbuckle and Owens is feeling it.

361
00:19:17,222 --> 00:19:19,491
[Wade] Kevin Owens versus everyone.

362
00:19:19,558 --> 00:19:21,693
Well, Kevin Owens will back himself.

363
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,328
[Graves] Counter by Theory.

364
00:19:24,696 --> 00:19:27,399
Owens gets a boot up just in time.
Now to the middle rope.

365
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,569
Tornado DDT!

366
00:19:34,473 --> 00:19:37,609
Owens now looking to make the long climb
to the top turnbuckle.

367
00:19:38,343 --> 00:19:41,313
[Wade] Panic all over the face
of Grayson Waller.

368
00:19:41,380 --> 00:19:42,948
[Graves] Swanton!

369
00:19:43,015 --> 00:19:44,082
[Wade] That's why.

370
00:19:44,149 --> 00:19:46,485
-Hook of the leg.
-[crowd] One! Two!

371
00:19:46,552 --> 00:19:50,022
-Three… Oh!
-[Graves] Austin Theory survives again.

372
00:19:50,889 --> 00:19:53,258
Take a look at the impact
on this one, Wade.

373
00:19:53,325 --> 00:19:56,695
[Wade] Yeah, beautiful execution
on that Swanton.

374
00:19:56,762 --> 00:19:59,197
But that tells you a lot
about Austin Theory

375
00:19:59,264 --> 00:20:00,632
that he could kick out of it.

376
00:20:00,699 --> 00:20:02,467
[Graves] I don't know
if anybody in Birmingham

377
00:20:02,534 --> 00:20:04,603
is having as much fun
as Logan Paul watching

378
00:20:04,670 --> 00:20:06,205
the proceedings in the ring.

379
00:20:06,271 --> 00:20:08,807
I just love seeing Kevin get beat up.
This is great.

380
00:20:09,374 --> 00:20:10,242
[Logan laughs]

381
00:20:10,309 --> 00:20:13,745
[Wade] Right now, Kevin Owens doing
most of the beating up himself, however.

382
00:20:13,812 --> 00:20:15,080
[Graves] Looking for the Stunner.

383
00:20:17,482 --> 00:20:19,585
Sternum-first into the top turnbuckle.

384
00:20:21,587 --> 00:20:24,790
Desperate, but very effective counter
by Austin Theory.

385
00:20:25,591 --> 00:20:26,658
Whoa!

386
00:20:28,460 --> 00:20:30,262
Cover here, shoulders down.

387
00:20:30,329 --> 00:20:31,563
-[Logan] Come on.
-No!

388
00:20:33,899 --> 00:20:35,867
[Graves] I'm not entirely sure
what to say about

389
00:20:35,934 --> 00:20:39,938
what we just saw from Austin Theory
bouncing around the ring like a pinball.

390
00:20:40,005 --> 00:20:42,641
[Wade] Just ridiculous levels
of athleticism,

391
00:20:42,708 --> 00:20:45,611
that modified Blockbuster there
connecting,

392
00:20:45,677 --> 00:20:48,413
just milliseconds away from victory.

393
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:53,118
But that durability of Kevin Owens
coming to the fore once again.

394
00:20:53,185 --> 00:20:56,588
What on Earth is it gonna take
for Theory to grab victory here?

395
00:20:56,655 --> 00:21:00,926
[Graves] KO living by his ethos
of just keep fighting.

396
00:21:00,993 --> 00:21:04,029
-Austin Theory looking to snuff out.
-[Logan] Come on, baby. Come on, yes!

397
00:21:04,563 --> 00:21:06,598
[Graves] Logan, this never works.
We discussed this.

398
00:21:06,665 --> 00:21:07,966
No, you got it. You got it.

399
00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:12,738
[Graves] Oh dear.
Oh, great escape by Theory.

400
00:21:12,804 --> 00:21:16,241
And a left rocks the jaw
of the Prizefighter.

401
00:21:16,308 --> 00:21:19,378
Great display of power from Austin Theory.

402
00:21:19,911 --> 00:21:22,314
-[Logan] Oh my.
-[Graves] That might do it.

403
00:21:22,381 --> 00:21:24,249
-[Logan] He's a star.
-[Graves] Stacked high.

404
00:21:25,550 --> 00:21:27,519
And Owens kicks out.

405
00:21:27,586 --> 00:21:29,721

406
00:21:29,788 --> 00:21:31,723
of both of these two men.

407
00:21:31,790 --> 00:21:35,460
Theory pulling off a move like that
this deep into the matchup.

408
00:21:35,527 --> 00:21:36,728
But wait a second.

official Jessika Carr's attention.

410

Logan just passed brass knuckles
to Austin Theory!

411
00:21:44,369 --> 00:21:46,471
KO with a superkick.

Good night, Theory!

somebody else to play with.

503
00:26:32,390 --> 00:26:34,492
Like I said, I'm in the middle
of a conversation right now.

504
00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:35,894
I don't know who I think I am either.

505
00:26:35,961 --> 00:26:38,129
But whatever this is,
this confrontation is not professional.

506
00:26:38,196 --> 00:26:40,599
Nick, I suggest you get
your show under control here

507
00:26:40,665 --> 00:26:43,368
and start treating
your top stars like top stars.

508
00:26:44,269 --> 00:26:47,005
Congrats on the reality show, by the way.
I'm a big fan of your husband.

509
00:26:47,072 --> 00:26:48,106
Think about what I said.

510
00:26:49,207 --> 00:26:50,709
I was talking to a top star.

511
00:26:51,743 --> 00:26:52,644
Exactly.

512
00:26:54,079 --> 00:26:57,115
-[indistinct conversations]
-[soft music playing]

513
00:26:57,782 --> 00:26:59,150
[speaking Spanish]

514
00:27:01,252 --> 00:27:02,687
I look around this table

515
00:27:04,856 --> 00:27:06,758
and my heart is filled with joy.

516
00:27:08,026 --> 00:27:10,428
[speaking Spanish]

517
00:27:11,196 --> 00:27:12,597
Familia.

518
00:27:13,565 --> 00:27:15,300
An unbreakable bond.

519
00:27:16,568 --> 00:27:17,802
In my universe,

520
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:22,207
there's nothing more valuable
que la familia.

521
00:27:23,241 --> 00:27:24,676
Angel,

522
00:27:25,443 --> 00:27:26,478
Humberto,

523
00:27:27,812 --> 00:27:31,149
and, of course, La Madrina.

524
00:27:32,550 --> 00:27:33,718
Welcome back.

525
00:27:33,785 --> 00:27:35,353
I never left.

526
00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:36,388
I know.

527
00:27:39,357 --> 00:27:40,692
We have been entrusted…

528
00:27:41,893 --> 00:27:43,461
to carry the legacy…

529
00:27:45,730 --> 00:27:47,065
of our fathers,

530
00:27:47,966 --> 00:27:49,234
our grandfathers,

531
00:27:50,168 --> 00:27:52,337
brothers, sisters,

532
00:27:53,571 --> 00:27:55,807
and the mantle of lucha libre itself.

533
00:27:57,242 --> 00:28:03,148
That is why we must eradicate
Rey Mysterio's LWO.

534
00:28:04,249 --> 00:28:05,383
A toast…

535
00:28:06,651 --> 00:28:07,652
to honor…

536
00:28:09,054 --> 00:28:10,188
loyalty…

537
00:28:18,129 --> 00:28:20,098
Legado Del Fantasma.

538
00:28:22,967 --> 00:28:25,403
[upbeat music playing]

539
00:28:25,470 --> 00:28:29,641
[Rome] And already in the ring,
accompanied by Elektra Lopez,

540
00:28:29,707 --> 00:28:32,811
representing Legado Del Fantasma,

541
00:28:32,877 --> 00:28:36,448
Angel and Humberto.

542
00:28:37,515 --> 00:28:42,554
[Graves] Wade, you've got to admit
the reemergence of La Madrina,

543
00:28:42,620 --> 00:28:44,422
Elektra Lopez,

544
00:28:44,489 --> 00:28:46,057
alongside Legado Del Fantasma,

545
00:28:46,124 --> 00:28:49,294
has to make this group even more dangerous
than before her arrival.

546
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,964
[Wade] Well, La Madrina,
a.k.a. the Godmother.

547
00:28:53,031 --> 00:28:56,534
Santos Escobar
goes way back with Elektra Lopez.

548
00:28:56,601 --> 00:29:01,172
And what a coup it was last week when
she returned and attacked Zelina Vega.

549
00:29:01,239 --> 00:29:04,175
[Graves] No doubt about it. This is
the first of two Fatal 4-Way matches.

550
00:29:04,242 --> 00:29:07,946
One takes place tonight,
the other on Raw this coming Monday.

551
00:29:08,012 --> 00:29:11,249
The winner of the Fatal 4-Ways
will face each other to determine

552
00:29:11,316 --> 00:29:13,618
the next challenger for The Judgment Day

553
00:29:13,685 --> 00:29:16,988
at Elimination Chamber
in Perth, Australia.

554
00:29:17,055 --> 00:29:18,590
[Wade] A lot on the line here.

555
00:29:18,656 --> 00:29:21,626
The "Big Strong Boi" Tyler Bate
taking over early.

556
00:29:22,427 --> 00:29:25,096
Wade, I know you've been a fan
of Pete Dunne for many years

557
00:29:25,163 --> 00:29:26,297
as well as Tyler Bate.

558
00:29:26,364 --> 00:29:30,368
Talk about the reemergence,
the rebirth of The Bruiserweight.

559
00:29:30,435 --> 00:29:32,337
[Wade] I like what I've seen
in recent weeks.

560
00:29:32,403 --> 00:29:35,440
I think Pete Dunne got a bit carried away
with the Brawling Brutes.

561
00:29:35,507 --> 00:29:39,210
He focused a little… Ooh!
A little too much on that aggression.

562
00:29:39,277 --> 00:29:41,613
Tyler Bate, from his past,
has pulled him back.

563
00:29:41,679 --> 00:29:44,883
Reminded him who he is, got him back,

564
00:29:44,949 --> 00:29:47,452
managing his style
a little more effectively.

565
00:29:47,986 --> 00:29:51,422
Calmed down that temper, and hopefully
we'll see some positive results.

566
00:29:51,489 --> 00:29:55,193
[Graves] Now we see Joaquin Wilde.
Quick tags all over the board here.

567
00:29:55,260 --> 00:29:57,795
The role in one
of these Fatal 4-Way matchups,

568
00:29:57,862 --> 00:30:00,431
since there is no count-out,
no disqualification,

569
00:30:00,498 --> 00:30:05,036
you generally want to try to keep your
own teammate in the ring at all times.

570
00:30:05,103 --> 00:30:06,871
You want to make sure
your team's represented.

571
00:30:06,938 --> 00:30:09,140
[Wade] Very little benefit
to getting tagged out,

572
00:30:09,207 --> 00:30:11,209
aside from saving yourself.

573
00:30:13,444 --> 00:30:15,480
[Graves] A little standoff for the moment.

574
00:30:15,547 --> 00:30:18,850
Angel wasting no time taking advantage.

575
00:30:18,917 --> 00:30:22,520
Kit and Elton
stomping the breath out of everybody.

576
00:30:23,188 --> 00:30:25,523
I think this is high time
for a "Yes, boy!"

577
00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:28,393
[Wade] Oh, it's always high time
for a "Yes, boy!" Let's get it.

578
00:30:32,630 --> 00:30:38,169
[Graves] Here comes Dunne, Bate,
Del Toro and Wilde turning the tables.

579
00:30:38,236 --> 00:30:40,271
[Wade] Wilde is highly appropriate

580
00:30:40,338 --> 00:30:44,175
for this kind of match
of absolute chaos at all angles.

581
00:30:44,242 --> 00:30:46,711
Very little the referee can do
to maintain control.

582
00:30:46,778 --> 00:30:48,446
Blink-and-you'll-miss affair.

583
00:30:48,513 --> 00:30:50,014
[Graves] Blink and you miss it.

584
00:30:50,081 --> 00:30:53,851
Perfect way to describe
the offense of Cruz Del Toro.

585
00:30:53,918 --> 00:30:56,821
Soaring through the skies and here we go,
we're gonna double up.

586
00:30:58,723 --> 00:31:00,825
Dueling baseball slides.

587
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,928
Viral. Viral.

588
00:31:03,995 --> 00:31:04,896
Viral?

589
00:31:05,396 --> 00:31:07,131
You want to go viral?

590
00:31:07,198 --> 00:31:09,901
-[Graves laughs] Wade…
-[Wade] "You want to go viral?"

591
00:31:09,968 --> 00:31:12,203
[Graves] You've seen this before in NXT.

592
00:31:12,904 --> 00:31:14,939
My God!

593
00:31:15,006 --> 00:31:19,911
Joaquin Wilde soaring through the skies
in Birmingham

594
00:31:19,978 --> 00:31:24,015
with the assist from Pete Dunne
and Cruz Del Toro.

595
00:31:24,082 --> 00:31:26,718
Fatal 4-Way Tag Match rolls on.

596
00:31:27,952 --> 00:31:29,554
Who will advance?

597
00:31:31,990 --> 00:31:35,260
It is a Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match.

598
00:31:35,326 --> 00:31:36,928
No count-out, no disqualification.

599
00:31:36,995 --> 00:31:39,731
The first team to score
a pinfall or submission

600
00:31:39,797 --> 00:31:42,500
will advance to face the winner

601
00:31:42,567 --> 00:31:46,337
of a Fatal 4-Way which takes place
this coming Monday on Raw.

602
00:31:46,404 --> 00:31:50,708
The winning team will advance to
Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia,

603
00:31:50,775 --> 00:31:55,713
to challenge The Judgment Day
for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles.

604
00:31:55,780 --> 00:31:59,417
The action has been fast and furious
throughout in this one, Wade.

605
00:32:00,585 --> 00:32:03,354
[Wade] Yeah, and this one
is absolutely being dominated

606
00:32:03,421 --> 00:32:05,423
at this point by Elton Prince.

607
00:32:05,490 --> 00:32:07,592
Take a look at this,
right before the break however.

608
00:32:07,659 --> 00:32:11,329
Look at the distance
Joaquin Wilde gets on that.

609
00:32:11,396 --> 00:32:14,265
Some sort of assisted leap,
but highly effective.

610
00:32:14,766 --> 00:32:18,803
But he's in the grips of punishment
from Pretty Deadly at this point.

611
00:32:18,870 --> 00:32:20,738
[Graves] What do you think the odds
human launching

612
00:32:20,805 --> 00:32:23,374
-will be in the Paris Olympics?
-[Wade] I like that.

613
00:32:23,441 --> 00:32:27,345
I don't think you and I would do too well
but Joaquin Wilde might be our entrant.

614
00:32:27,412 --> 00:32:29,080
[Graves] Tag made. Pete Dunne,

615
00:32:29,147 --> 00:32:34,218
a pair of step-up enzuigiris,
and The Bruiserweight is rolling.

616
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,022
[Wade] Last thing you want
at this point in the matchup

617
00:32:38,089 --> 00:32:41,826
with Bruiserweight Pete Dunne
getting all the momentum.

618
00:32:43,594 --> 00:32:46,331
[Graves] Oh no. This would be a "No, boy!"

619
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:51,469
Kick right to the side of the ear
of Elton Prince.

620
00:32:51,536 --> 00:32:53,504
Great balance displayed by Dunne.

621
00:32:54,505 --> 00:32:57,075
And a matching kick for Kit Wilson.

622
00:32:57,141 --> 00:32:59,243
Cruz Del Toro caught in the grips.

623
00:32:59,310 --> 00:33:01,846
[Wade] Pete Dunne might do this one
all on his own.

624
00:33:03,915 --> 00:33:06,718
[Graves] Joaquin Wilde
just sniped out of mid-air

625
00:33:06,784 --> 00:33:10,221
by a heavy right hand
by The Bruiserweight.

626
00:33:10,288 --> 00:33:14,292
[Wade] Reborn Pete Dunne
getting bootwashed by Pretty Deadly.

627
00:33:15,193 --> 00:33:16,961
-Bad Apples.
-Get him!

628
00:33:17,028 --> 00:33:19,731
[Graves] Cover here.
Kit Wilson for the win.

629
00:33:20,965 --> 00:33:23,468
Tyler Bate keeping the matchup alive
for not only his team,

630
00:33:23,534 --> 00:33:25,203
but the three others involved.

631
00:33:27,872 --> 00:33:30,274
And around we go.

632
00:33:32,477 --> 00:33:36,714
The speed of the airplane spin
by The Big Strong Boi.

633
00:33:36,781 --> 00:33:38,416
[Wade] I was nauseous
just looking at that.

634
00:33:40,485 --> 00:33:43,921
[Graves] Fantastic teamwork by Dunne.
Cover here with the leg hook.

635
00:33:45,456 --> 00:33:47,425
Angel and Humberto keeping this one alive.

636
00:33:47,492 --> 00:33:49,894
[Wade] There's the history
between Bate and Dunne

637
00:33:49,961 --> 00:33:53,064
pulling off that Cut The Mustard
double-team, but-- whoa!

638
00:33:53,131 --> 00:33:55,033
[Graves] Oh my goodness!

639
00:33:56,167 --> 00:34:00,038
[Wade] Angel and Humberto done
some tag work in their history too.

640
00:34:00,104 --> 00:34:03,041
[Graves] Double springboard dropkicks
by the LWO.

641
00:34:03,107 --> 00:34:06,644
Wilde and Del Toro looking to fly,
but Elektra…

642
00:34:06,711 --> 00:34:09,247
-[indistinct shouting]
-[crowd booing]

643
00:34:09,313 --> 00:34:12,917
[Wade] Uh-oh, little payback
from last week from Zelina Vega.

644
00:34:14,285 --> 00:34:18,022
[Graves] Zelina's clearing the LWO
for takeoff!

645
00:34:19,424 --> 00:34:22,260
Wilde, Del Toro taking everybody out.

646
00:34:22,326 --> 00:34:27,165
And Zelina Vega with the Meteora
on Elektra Lopez.

647
00:34:27,832 --> 00:34:32,703
A long-time rivalry renewed here
on Friday Night SmackDown.

648
00:34:32,770 --> 00:34:34,772
[crowd chanting "LWO"]

649
00:34:34,839 --> 00:34:37,542
[Wade] Absolute bedlam
everywhere you look.

650
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:38,843
Switcheroo, I believe.

651
00:34:38,910 --> 00:34:41,579
[Graves] Are Pretty Deadly
attempting to use twin magic?

652
00:34:41,646 --> 00:34:42,914
Wait, shoulders down.

653
00:34:45,116 --> 00:34:49,287
I don't know if our official realized
which member of Pretty Deadly was legal.

654
00:34:49,353 --> 00:34:50,955
[screaming]

655
00:34:51,022 --> 00:34:53,558
But I bet Kit wishes
Elton was legal right now.

656
00:34:53,624 --> 00:34:55,626
[screaming]

657
00:34:55,693 --> 00:34:58,429
[Wade] The guy with the broken fingers
is legal, Corey.

658
00:35:00,631 --> 00:35:01,666
[Graves] Bate and Dunne.

659
00:35:02,834 --> 00:35:04,936
Two men who innovated-- Cover here.

660
00:35:05,002 --> 00:35:06,537
[referee and crowd] One! Two!

661
00:35:06,604 --> 00:35:08,206
-Three!
-[Graves] That's gonna do it!

662
00:35:08,272 --> 00:35:11,709
Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate advance.

663
00:35:11,776 --> 00:35:13,344
[Rome] Here are your winners,

664
00:35:13,411 --> 00:35:17,048
the team of "The Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne

665
00:35:17,115 --> 00:35:21,185
and Tyler Bate!

666
00:35:21,252 --> 00:35:24,856
[Graves] A fantastic effort
by all four teams.

667
00:35:25,389 --> 00:35:28,059
But The Bruiserweight
and The Big Strong Boi

668
00:35:28,125 --> 00:35:33,164
will advance to battle the winners
of Monday Night Raw's Fatal 4-Way.

669
00:35:33,931 --> 00:35:36,601

to be the best.

to WrestleMania,

at one time the leader of Damage CTRL.

00:47:53,804 --> 00:47:58,875

inside Damage CTRL for some time,

soon learned that a steel pipe

Not Tiffany Stratton, though.

She's not someone
who's ever gonna hide in the shadows.

about Tiffany Stratton.

1069
00:59:47,317 --> 00:59:49,385
You had the honor of calling
many of her matches in NXT,

1070
00:59:49,452 --> 00:59:51,187
where she was NXT Women's Champion.

1071
00:59:51,254 --> 00:59:56,492

in NXT with zero experience.

-Ascended to the--
-[Graves] Shoulders down.

the women's division there in record time,

1074
01:00:01,764 --> 01:00:02,832
becoming champion.

1075
01:00:02,899 --> 01:00:05,401
A complete natural at this game,

1076
01:00:05,468 --> 01:00:09,138
and she became the face
of an entire division before you knew it.

01:00:09,205 --> 01:00:13,276
So there is a big, big hype train
behind Tiffany Stratton,

1078
01:00:13,343 --> 01:00:15,411
and the sky really is the limit
for this woman.

1081
01:00:21,484 --> 01:00:23,486
How important is it, Wade,
in your opinion,

1082
01:00:23,553 --> 01:00:26,322
on your first night,
whether it be on Raw or SmackDown?

the officials and the WWE Universe.

1084

Tiffany Stratton to do anything other…

to members of the locker room

you have to make it count.

tonight with egg on your face.

you've watched her career develop.

capacity for learning…

1104
01:01:39,295 --> 01:01:41,998
-[Graves] Oh no!
-[Wade] A little payback for you there.

1105

but talking smack to someone like Michin

is always gonna come back and bite you.

Shouldn't we call that
