Yeah, The Rock liked that too.

208
00:16:30,189 --> 00:16:32,424
But now The Rock wants a--
I love you back.

209
00:16:32,491 --> 00:16:34,026
And I appreciate that love.

210
00:16:34,093 --> 00:16:36,228
Now The Rock is gonna say--
I hear you too, honey.

The Rock loves you, I appreciate it.

212

We're gonna move this out of the way

213
00:16:41,734 --> 00:16:44,303
because The Rock
wants to say something now.

214
00:16:44,370 --> 00:16:47,106
We had some fun.
We're gonna have another kind of fun.

215
00:16:48,540 --> 00:16:51,143
Last week on SmackDown,

216
00:16:52,211 --> 00:16:55,481
Cody Rhodes, he did something to The Rock.

217
00:16:58,851 --> 00:17:03,355
The world heard it. The Rock felt it.
Let's take a look at it.

218
00:17:12,231 --> 00:17:15,401
[crowd yells]

219
00:17:20,672 --> 00:17:23,409
[crowd booing]

220
00:17:28,213 --> 00:17:30,849
Yeah, Cody finally manned up, huh?

221
00:17:30,916 --> 00:17:32,885
Finally grew a pair of balls.

222
00:17:32,951 --> 00:17:34,319
He took a swing at The Rock.

223
00:17:34,386 --> 00:17:36,655
He slapped the hell out of The Rock.
[chuckles]

224
00:17:37,423 --> 00:17:39,425
But what'd The Rock do? The Rock smiled.

225
00:17:40,626 --> 00:17:43,996
And then a couple of days later,
Cody went on Monday Night Raw.

226
00:17:44,696 --> 00:17:47,566
And The Rock was waiting,
the world was waiting.

227
00:17:47,633 --> 00:17:50,369
How were you gonna respond
to the biggest moment of your career?

228
00:17:50,436 --> 00:17:54,706
Slapping The Rock? Were you gonna
cut an impassioned promo?

229
00:17:54,773 --> 00:17:56,075
What were you gonna do?

230
00:17:56,141 --> 00:18:00,345
How were you gonna respond, Cody Rhodes,
to the moment that made you famous?

231
00:18:00,412 --> 00:18:01,847
Let's take a look.

232
00:18:03,515 --> 00:18:04,950
My mother…

233
00:18:05,717 --> 00:18:08,387
[stammers] She's one I got left.

234
00:18:09,955 --> 00:18:11,990
And I can't hand it to Dusty Rhodes,

235
00:18:12,057 --> 00:18:15,060
but I certainly can hand it
to Michelle Rubio.

236
00:18:20,632 --> 00:18:22,634
[crowd clamoring]

237
00:18:23,902 --> 00:18:25,904
You responded by crying.

00:18:26,905 --> 00:18:28,774
[chuckling] You responded by crying.

239
00:18:29,708 --> 00:18:31,477
You got to be [silenced] me.

240
00:18:33,078 --> 00:18:34,780
That's how you respond?

241
00:18:34,847 --> 00:18:38,183
"I can't give the title to my daddy,

242
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:40,552
so I'm gonna give the title to my mommy."

"I gotta hand the title to my…"

244
00:18:42,020 --> 00:18:43,622
You ain't giving anybody anything!

245
00:18:47,493 --> 00:18:49,795
Cody, The Rock doesn't wanna talk
to you right now,

246
00:18:49,862 --> 00:18:52,798
but The Rock wants to talk
to one person right now,

247
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:55,334
and that's your mama.

248
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,636
[crowd exclaiming]

249
00:18:58,871 --> 00:19:00,439
Mama Rhodes,

250
00:19:01,373 --> 00:19:04,910
The Rock knows that you're watching.
The Rock knows you're listening.

251
00:19:04,977 --> 00:19:06,478
You don't know The Rock.

252
00:19:06,545 --> 00:19:09,748
But you're gonna know The Rock
in ways that you wish you hadn't.

253
00:19:09,815 --> 00:19:12,084
So, Mama Rhodes,
let The Rock break it down for you,

254
00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:14,353
and how WrestleMania is gonna go.

255
00:19:14,419 --> 00:19:18,390
Your son Cody took something from me,
and I'm gonna make him pay.

256
00:19:18,457 --> 00:19:21,593
I'm gonna make your family pay,
and I'm gonna make you pay.

257
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:26,965
On WrestleMania Night 1,
The Rock and Roman Reigns

258
00:19:27,032 --> 00:19:29,735
we're gonna beat your son
and we're gonna beat Seth Rollins,

259
00:19:29,801 --> 00:19:32,171
which puts us to Night 2.

260
00:19:32,237 --> 00:19:34,940
Bloodline Rules, anything goes.

261
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,875
Ah, Mama Rhodes.

262
00:19:36,942 --> 00:19:42,147
The Rock knows that you just can't wait
for your son to finish that story.

263
00:19:42,214 --> 00:19:44,383
You want your son to finish
that story so bad,

264
00:19:44,449 --> 00:19:47,719
and you want your son
to hand you that belt so bad,

265
00:19:47,786 --> 00:19:49,521
that Universal Championship.

266
00:19:49,588 --> 00:19:51,089
But that ain't gonna happen.

267
00:19:51,156 --> 00:19:54,793
That belt is gonna stay around
the waist of my cousin Roman Reigns.

268
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:57,729
[crowd boos]

269
00:20:03,101 --> 00:20:07,105
And now, Mama Rhodes,
you are gonna get a belt,

270
00:20:08,173 --> 00:20:10,075
but you're gonna get The Rock's belt.

271
00:20:11,777 --> 00:20:14,813
It ain't gonna be that
Universal Championship.

272
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,049
It's going to be this belt
here, Mama Rhodes.

273

[crowd chanting] Whoop that trick!
Whoop that trick! Whoop that trick!

274
00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:37,636
Mama Rhodes, it's gonna be
a belt just like this.

275
00:20:39,171 --> 00:20:41,473
And The Rock is gonna take this belt,

276
00:20:41,540 --> 00:20:43,675
and he's gonna beat your son.

277
00:20:44,343 --> 00:20:46,378
He's gonna beat the piss out of your son.

278
00:20:46,445 --> 00:20:48,780
And The Rock is gonna make your son bleed.

279
00:20:49,448 --> 00:20:54,219
He's gonna tear his skin, tear his flesh,
and he's gonna whoop him.

280
00:20:54,286 --> 00:20:58,490
He's gonna whoop him like a dog
over and over and over again.

281
00:20:58,557 --> 00:21:02,761
And, Mama Rhodes, your son's blood
is gonna be on this belt.

282
00:21:03,862 --> 00:21:06,999
And when The Rock is done
whooping your son,

283
00:21:07,065 --> 00:21:09,801
and Roman is done beating your son,

284
00:21:09,868 --> 00:21:11,703
one, two, three, The Rock

285
00:21:11,770 --> 00:21:15,173
is gonna take this belt
full of your son's blood,

00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,742
and he's gonna walk over to you.

287
00:21:16,808 --> 00:21:20,379
Mama Rhodes, The Rock needs you
sitting in the first row.

288
00:21:20,445 --> 00:21:22,114
So the world can see.

289
00:21:22,180 --> 00:21:24,850
And The Rock is gonna
walk right over to you, Mama Rhodes,

290
00:21:24,916 --> 00:21:28,954
and he's gonna hand you this belt,
he's gonna hand you this belt right here.

He's gonna put it in your lap,

292

and you're gonna be crying
just like your son.

And that's okay, because then

294
00:21:38,196 --> 00:21:41,133
The Rock is gonna whisper in your ear,
Mama Rhodes…

And with all the blood
on your son's belt here,

Legado Del Fantasma and the LWO.

344
00:25:17,349 --> 00:25:20,018
Now you're seeing Berto
make the tag to Angel.

345
00:25:20,085 --> 00:25:23,622
[Wade] Yeah, you mentioned familiarity.
Certainly not a positive familiarity.

346
00:25:23,688 --> 00:25:27,092
These two teams hate each other's guts.

347
00:25:27,158 --> 00:25:30,562
[Graves] Tremendous double-team offense
from Angel and Berto.

348
00:25:30,629 --> 00:25:31,596
Hook of the leg.

349
00:25:31,663 --> 00:25:35,300
Be a short night for
Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde.

350
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:37,736
[Wade] What an opportunity this could be.
Let's face it.

351
00:25:37,802 --> 00:25:40,372
An opportunity to get
one step closer to WrestleMania.

352
00:25:40,438 --> 00:25:43,808
An opportunity to get one step closer
to challenging

353
00:25:43,875 --> 00:25:46,411
for the WWE Tag Team Championship.

354
00:25:46,478 --> 00:25:50,148
Oh, and in the process,
putting down your most hated rivals.

355
00:25:50,949 --> 00:25:53,685
[Graves] This structure was created
by General Manager Nick Aldis.

356
00:25:54,586 --> 00:25:56,454
Oh my goodness. Two separate brackets.

357
00:25:56,521 --> 00:25:59,057
The winners of each will advance

358
00:25:59,124 --> 00:26:01,626
to the 6-Pack Challenge at WrestleMania.

359
00:26:02,460 --> 00:26:04,562
[Wade] The entire locker room
around this time of year

360
00:26:04,629 --> 00:26:07,966
starts complaining
if they're not scheduled or featured

361
00:26:08,033 --> 00:26:09,668
to be on the WrestleMania card.

362
00:26:09,734 --> 00:26:13,038
This is really a gift from the respective
general managers

363
00:26:13,104 --> 00:26:16,508
because, guys, take your future
in your own hands.

364
00:26:16,574 --> 00:26:20,245
[Graves] Cruz Del Toro
flexing his otherworldly athleticism.

365
00:26:21,379 --> 00:26:22,847
Beautiful hurricanrana!

366
00:26:24,382 --> 00:26:26,785
Tag made to Joaquin Wilde.

367
00:26:28,453 --> 00:26:30,355
Del Toro and Wilde

368
00:26:30,422 --> 00:26:33,358
have been an extremely
effective tag team together.

369
00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:38,263
Oh, Wilde, of course, seemingly going
viral on a regular basis these days

370
00:26:38,330 --> 00:26:40,198
with his breathtaking athleticism.

371
00:26:40,265 --> 00:26:42,767
[Wade] Certainly did on NXT
this past Tuesday.

372
00:26:44,235 --> 00:26:48,139
[Graves] We could be moments away
from another viral moment.

373
00:26:50,542 --> 00:26:52,744
Stereo Suicide Dives!

374
00:26:52,811 --> 00:26:57,382
Angel and Humberto are down.
The LWO starting to roll.

375
00:26:58,717 --> 00:27:00,185
Who will advance?

376
00:27:02,087 --> 00:27:03,388
[inaudible]

377
00:27:05,156 --> 00:27:09,794
Let's take one more look
at the athleticism of the LWO.

378
00:27:09,861 --> 00:27:13,765
Wilde and Cruz Del Toro
throwing caution to the wind.

379
00:27:13,832 --> 00:27:16,167
-[Wade] High risk and high reward.
-[Graves] Cover here.

380
00:27:17,636 --> 00:27:20,605
[Wade] It's all going the way
of the LWO right now.

381
00:27:20,672 --> 00:27:24,743
And you have to say Legado Del Fantasma
find themselves in a world of trouble.

382
00:27:26,077 --> 00:27:29,481
[Graves] Oh, Angel and Humberto
would hate to disappoint La Madrina.

383
00:27:29,547 --> 00:27:31,916
Cover here by Wilde, hook of the leg.

384
00:27:32,751 --> 00:27:34,252
Humberto survives.

385
00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:38,590
[Wade] If I know Elektra Lopez,
she is scheming and plotting as we speak,

386
00:27:38,657 --> 00:27:41,226
trying to get her men back on top.

387
00:27:41,292 --> 00:27:43,695
[Graves] At the same time,
you can't discount the presence

388
00:27:43,762 --> 00:27:45,697
of Zelina Vega on behalf of the LWO.

389
00:27:45,764 --> 00:27:48,333
Keep your eyes on Wilde. Wow!

390
00:27:50,268 --> 00:27:52,337
Looks like Del Toro's
gonna join the party.

391
00:27:52,404 --> 00:27:55,373
That is a lot of ground to cover.
Moonsault. Hook of the leg.

392
00:27:56,541 --> 00:27:59,944
Berto survives.
Who will advance in the tournament?

393
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:07,385
[Graves] This is a WrestleMania Tag Team
Championship qualifying match.

394
00:28:07,452 --> 00:28:10,789
As Legado Del Fantasma's Angel, Humberto

395
00:28:10,855 --> 00:28:14,159
do battle with the LWO Cruz Del Toro
and Joaquin Wilde.

396
00:28:14,225 --> 00:28:15,627
Cover here by Berto.

397
00:28:16,861 --> 00:28:21,833
[Wade] What a glorious night it could be
for Legado Del Fantasma.

398
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:24,069
Of course, The Emperor of Lucha Libre,

399
00:28:24,135 --> 00:28:27,505
their leader Santos Escobar
is in action later on tonight

400
00:28:27,572 --> 00:28:29,941
against sometime nemesis Dragon Lee.

401
00:28:30,008 --> 00:28:31,509
[Graves] Both teams with an opportunity

402
00:28:31,576 --> 00:28:33,611
to take a massive step
toward WrestleMania.

403
00:28:33,678 --> 00:28:35,747
But the work only begins tonight.

404
00:28:35,814 --> 00:28:40,018
Again, per General Manager Nick Aldis,
a two-bracket tournament.

405
00:28:40,085 --> 00:28:42,253
The winners of each bracket will advance

406
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,623
to the 6-Pack Ladder Match Challenge
at WrestleMania.

407
00:28:45,690 --> 00:28:49,828
[Wade] Santos Escobar must be loving
what he is witnessing right now.

408
00:28:49,894 --> 00:28:54,799
Escobar led Legado Del Fantasma
once upon a time in NXT

409
00:28:54,866 --> 00:28:58,069
that included Cruz Del Toro,
Joaquin Wilde,

410
00:28:58,136 --> 00:29:01,339
till they turned their backs
on The Emperor of Lucha Libre.

411
00:29:01,406 --> 00:29:03,875
Well, perhaps now it's payback time.

412
00:29:03,942 --> 00:29:06,878
[Graves] Angel and Humberto
having their way with Del Toro.

413
00:29:06,945 --> 00:29:09,747
Not a lot of real estate
on the top turnbuckle

414
00:29:09,814 --> 00:29:12,383
yet three Superstars
are sharing the space.

415
00:29:12,450 --> 00:29:16,721
This is the beginning
of the end for Cruz Del Toro.

416
00:29:16,788 --> 00:29:19,057
What on earth are we gonna see?

417
00:29:19,124 --> 00:29:22,060
-Look at this power. Wow!
-[Wade] Power balance.

418
00:29:22,127 --> 00:29:24,229
Poise and pain.

419
00:29:24,295 --> 00:29:26,097
[Graves] Cover here by Berto,
hook of the leg.

420
00:29:26,164 --> 00:29:27,599
This one's over. No.

421
00:29:27,665 --> 00:29:30,835
[Wade] Joaquin Wilde,
just in the nick of time,

422
00:29:30,902 --> 00:29:34,239
keeping LWO's hopes alive
of qualifying for WrestleMania.

423
00:29:34,305 --> 00:29:37,775
[Graves] Big pump kick
rocks the jaw of Wilde.

424
00:29:37,842 --> 00:29:39,978
Spinning combination by Cruz.
Shoulders down.

425
00:29:44,849 --> 00:29:48,019
-[Wade] Oh!
-Breathtaking standing Spanish fly,

426
00:29:48,086 --> 00:29:49,988
but Del Toro unable to capitalize.

427
00:29:50,054 --> 00:29:53,324
[Wade] Yeah, purely instinctive there
from Cruz Del Toro.

428
00:29:53,391 --> 00:29:56,394
Forget about the pin,
get over and get the tag.

429
00:29:56,461 --> 00:29:58,396
Get the fresh man in the ring.

430
00:29:58,463 --> 00:30:00,665
[Graves] Del Toro
inching toward his corner,

431
00:30:00,732 --> 00:30:02,700
toward a fresh Joaquin Wilde,

432
00:30:02,767 --> 00:30:05,470
Humberto inching toward Angel.

433
00:30:05,537 --> 00:30:08,239
[Wade] Every time Joaquin Wilde
gets in the ring,

434
00:30:08,306 --> 00:30:09,641
he is simply unhinged.

435
00:30:09,707 --> 00:30:12,577
[Graves] Keep your eyes on Joaquin Wilde.

436
00:30:12,644 --> 00:30:14,112
Double drop kick!

437
00:30:14,846 --> 00:30:18,183
[Wade] Perhaps nobody
on the SmackDown roster

438
00:30:18,249 --> 00:30:21,653
has stepped it up more in the past
few months than Joaquin Wilde.

439
00:30:21,719 --> 00:30:23,588
He is hungry for success.

440
00:30:23,655 --> 00:30:26,357
[Graves] Neckbreaker by Wilde
takes down Berto.

441
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,396
You know Joaquin would love

442
00:30:31,462 --> 00:30:34,432
to make Rey Mysterio
and the entire LWO proud

443
00:30:34,499 --> 00:30:38,369
by representing them
on the grandest stage of them all.

444
00:30:39,370 --> 00:30:41,105
Superkick by Joaquin Wilde.

445
00:30:44,509 --> 00:30:47,278
Tornado DDT! That could do it.

446
00:30:47,345 --> 00:30:48,947
Wilde slides into the cover.

447
00:30:50,248 --> 00:30:53,284
And Humberto keeps it alive for Legado.

448
00:30:53,351 --> 00:30:55,520
[Wade] Joaquin Wilde
ping-ponging around the ring,

449
00:30:55,587 --> 00:30:57,889
but keep an eye on Cruz Del Toro.

450
00:31:00,358 --> 00:31:02,760
[Graves] Del Toro
looking to take it high risk again.

451
00:31:02,827 --> 00:31:05,230
Baseball slide. Nobody home!

452
00:31:05,296 --> 00:31:07,665
And nearly launched through the barricade.

453
00:31:07,732 --> 00:31:10,401
[Wade] The superb movement
from Berto there,

454
00:31:10,468 --> 00:31:12,070
and Angel capitalizing.

455
00:31:12,136 --> 00:31:14,138
This could be the kiss goodnight.

456
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:18,643
[Graves] Tag made. Berto legal. Popped up.

457
00:31:18,710 --> 00:31:21,779
Oh, that might have broken a rib or two.

458
00:31:21,846 --> 00:31:23,715
Deep hook of the leg.

459
00:31:23,781 --> 00:31:26,184
-Angel and Humberto advance.
-[bell rings]

460
00:31:26,251 --> 00:31:28,219
[def rebel's "Soul March" playing]

461
00:31:28,286 --> 00:31:33,891
[announcer] Here are your winners,
Legado Del Fantasma.

462
00:31:33,958 --> 00:31:37,362
[Graves] A seesaw battle
from the opening bell.

463
00:31:37,428 --> 00:31:42,267
And yet again, Legado Del Fantasma
bests the LWO.

464
00:31:42,333 --> 00:31:45,236
You know wherever Santos Escobar
is watching on,

465
00:31:45,303 --> 00:31:47,906
he is grinning from ear to ear.

466
00:31:47,972 --> 00:31:50,608
[Wade] This one spilled
all over the ringside area.

467
00:31:50,675 --> 00:31:53,111
It was all about movement and innovation.

468
00:31:53,177 --> 00:31:58,049
And watch this Chicharito-like kick
to the sternum of Joaquin Wilde,

469
00:31:58,116 --> 00:32:01,386
getting the job done
for Legado Del Fantasma,

470
00:32:01,452 --> 00:32:06,357
who are one step closer to that
6-Pack Challenge at WrestleMania

471
00:32:06,424 --> 00:32:09,160
for the WWE Tag Team Championship.

472
00:32:09,227 --> 00:32:12,330
[Graves] Here we see bracket number one,
Legado Del Fantasma,

473
00:32:12,397 --> 00:32:13,998
the first team to advance.

474
00:32:14,065 --> 00:32:18,569
We will see the New Catch Republic
battle Pretty Deadly later on tonight.

475
00:32:18,636 --> 00:32:20,038
[Wade] Yes, boy.

476
00:32:22,974 --> 00:32:26,044
[inaudible]

477
00:32:27,912 --> 00:32:32,784
[Graves] Earlier today we see the arrival
of Dakota Kai and Damage CTRL.

478
00:32:32,850 --> 00:32:36,087
Dakota took to X to make
a post earlier saying,

479
00:32:36,154 --> 00:32:39,824
"Bayley, I can't wait to see you break."

480
00:32:39,891 --> 00:32:42,360
[Wade] Well, contrast Dakota Kai
with Bayley

481
00:32:42,427 --> 00:32:45,263
alone and like a mouse lost in a maze.

482
00:32:45,330 --> 00:32:49,934
Royal Rumble winner Bayley is in a battle
for survival ahead of WrestleMania.

483
00:32:50,001 --> 00:32:54,339
She faces Dakota Kai
in our main event later tonight.

484
00:32:58,976 --> 00:33:02,680
And now, everybody,
please welcome my guests…

485
00:33:04,115 --> 00:33:06,384
-[def rebel's "Welcome To LA" playing]
-[Wade] Yes! Yes! Yes!

486
00:33:06,451 --> 00:33:08,286
[crowd cheering]

487
00:33:08,353 --> 00:33:09,854
It's been too long, Corey

488
00:33:09,921 --> 00:33:11,889
[Graves] Go on, Wade.
Have yourself a time.

489
00:33:11,956 --> 00:33:14,859
[Wade] He's gonna talk to us!
Thank you, Kayla!

490
00:33:14,926 --> 00:33:17,362
And thank you, Mr. Megastar!

491
00:33:18,363 --> 00:33:19,664
Best day ever.

492
00:33:33,611 --> 00:33:37,882
[crowd chanting] LA Knight!
LA Knight! LA Knight!

493
00:33:40,051 --> 00:33:43,688
Now, LA Knight,
since the Elimination Chamber,

494
00:33:43,755 --> 00:33:47,258
you have been on a quest
to find AJ Styles.

495
00:33:47,325 --> 00:33:50,595
Have you had any luck on your search
for The Phenomenal One?

496
00:33:56,367 --> 00:34:00,338
May I? I just need to cook for a minute.

497
00:34:09,113 --> 00:34:12,350
-Let me talk to you.
-[crowd cheers]

498
00:34:15,219 --> 00:34:17,422
AJ Styles.

499
00:34:21,926 --> 00:34:25,630
[crowd boos]

500
00:34:25,696 --> 00:34:29,801
You said last week
that I need to be humbled.

501
00:34:29,867 --> 00:34:32,370
You said LA Knight needs to be humbled.

502
00:34:35,339 --> 00:34:39,377
Now you're talking my language.
Now you're talking what I wanna hear.

503
00:34:39,444 --> 00:34:41,512
AJ, I'm standing right here.

504
00:34:41,579 --> 00:34:44,782
Why don't you come out
and humble LA Knight?

505
00:34:44,849 --> 00:34:47,185
[crowd yells] Yeah!

506
00:34:56,294 --> 00:34:57,929
That's about what I thought.

507
00:34:58,896 --> 00:35:01,699
You got another week
where AJ Styles can't show up.

508
00:35:01,766 --> 00:35:03,267
And why is that?

509
00:35:03,334 --> 00:35:05,870
You ain't big enough
for this ride, little man.

510
00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:12,009
Ol' Napoleon Styles out here
making all the empty threats.

511
00:35:12,076 --> 00:35:16,114
He wants to act like I ain't been looking
for him the last few weeks, huh?

512
00:35:16,180 --> 00:35:18,049
[crowd yells] Yeah!

513
00:35:19,851 --> 00:35:22,887
This man sees it fit
to fly all the way to Australia,

514
00:35:22,954 --> 00:35:26,290
yet he can't drive his keister
over here to Memphis?

515
00:35:26,357 --> 00:35:27,792
[crowd yells] Yeah!

516
00:35:28,926 --> 00:35:32,230
And all the while, he goes over there,
he says, "X marks the spot."

517
00:35:32,296 --> 00:35:34,599
"LA Knight marks the spot."

518
00:35:34,665 --> 00:35:35,666
Nah, nah

519
00:35:37,635 --> 00:35:39,937
LA Knight spots the marks.

520
00:35:40,004 --> 00:35:42,673
And the biggest mark walkin' is AJ Styles.

521
00:35:42,740 --> 00:35:44,876
-Yeah.
-[crowd yells] Yeah!

522
00:35:44,942 --> 00:35:46,611
So I'm gonna put it to you like this.

523
00:35:46,677 --> 00:35:48,913
With that in mind, if you can't show up,

524
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:52,583
if you don't have enough tingle
in your loins to show up to SmackDown,

525
00:35:52,650 --> 00:35:56,854
I know somewhere where
you just can't help but to show up.

526
00:35:59,724 --> 00:36:01,859
I'm talking AJ Styles.

527
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:04,729
I'm talking LA Knight.

528
00:36:05,897 --> 00:36:08,399
And I am talking WrestleMania.

529
00:36:08,466 --> 00:36:10,768
[crowd cheers]

530
00:36:14,505 --> 00:36:18,342
AJ, you said I walk around
like I own this place.

531
00:36:19,143 --> 00:36:23,481
I might not own the place,
but at WrestleMania I will own your ass.

532
00:36:23,548 --> 00:36:24,482
[crowd yells] Yeah!

533
00:36:24,549 --> 00:36:28,819
And what that means is you will
find out exactly whose game this is

534
00:36:28,886 --> 00:36:30,588
with everybody saying.

535
00:36:30,655 --> 00:36:33,691
[crowd yells] LA Knight, yeah!

536
00:36:33,758 --> 00:36:35,092
Yeah!

537
00:36:35,159 --> 00:36:36,561
[crowd yells] Yeah!

538
00:36:36,627 --> 00:36:40,665
[Graves] Now, from behind!
AJ Styles with a steel chair!

539
00:36:41,899 --> 00:36:46,170
[crowd boos]

540
00:36:59,483 --> 00:37:01,586
I accept.

541
00:37:01,652 --> 00:37:04,155
[referees speaking indistinctly]

542
00:37:04,221 --> 00:37:07,491
[referee] AJ, come on, man!
You're crazy! What're you doing, man?

543
00:37:07,558 --> 00:37:10,695
[overlapping chatter]

544
00:37:11,329 --> 00:37:15,266
[Graves] The challenge for WrestleMania
issued by LA Knight,

545
00:37:15,333 --> 00:37:18,369
accepted emphatically
by The Phenomenal One.

546
00:37:18,436 --> 00:37:20,805
[Wade] Well, I hope
that gets made official,

547
00:37:20,871 --> 00:37:25,343
but you simply cannot show your full hand
to a veteran like AJ Styles

548
00:37:25,409 --> 00:37:27,478
and not expect to be outflanked.

549
00:37:27,545 --> 00:37:30,214
Well, it certainly appears right now
as though AJ Styles

550
00:37:30,281 --> 00:37:32,250
and LA Knight have WrestleMania plans.

551
00:37:32,316 --> 00:37:34,485
Last week, right here
on Friday Night SmackDown,

552
00:37:34,552 --> 00:37:36,520
we heard plans of a different variety

553
00:37:36,587 --> 00:37:39,790
unveiled by none other than
our United States Champion.

554
00:37:41,259 --> 00:37:45,029
Boy, Dallas,
do I have a surprise for y'all.

555
00:37:47,365 --> 00:37:48,866
[laughing]

556
00:37:49,700 --> 00:37:53,204
I think a moment this big
deserves a big photo.

557
00:37:53,270 --> 00:37:55,906
So smile back there, y'all.
I'm gonna make you famous.

558
00:37:56,907 --> 00:38:00,444
[Rev Theory's "Voices" playing]

559
00:38:03,014 --> 00:38:04,515
Where is he?

560
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:13,524
[Wade] Enter The Viper, who was taken out
of the Elimination Chamber

561
00:38:13,591 --> 00:38:16,360
by a brass knucks-clad Logan Paul

562
00:38:16,427 --> 00:38:18,229
who managed to escape.

563
00:38:18,296 --> 00:38:21,165
Unlike Prime buddy, KSI.

564
00:38:21,232 --> 00:38:23,534
RKO'd on the new Prime logo.

565
00:38:27,505 --> 00:38:29,507
[Logan] Nick. My guy.

566
00:38:30,608 --> 00:38:32,143
-Logan.
-Nick.

567
00:38:32,209 --> 00:38:33,444
-Come on in.
-Hey, man.

568
00:38:33,511 --> 00:38:35,346
So what's the plan?

569
00:38:35,413 --> 00:38:38,015
-Plan?
-Yeah. The plan. The punishment.

570
00:38:38,082 --> 00:38:39,317
Is there gonna be a fine?

571
00:38:40,251 --> 00:38:43,020
Repercussions for the chaos
that happened last week?

572
00:38:44,121 --> 00:38:47,325
Randy Orton. He slithered in.

573
00:38:47,391 --> 00:38:50,294
He interrupted the biggest sponsorship
moment in WWE history.

574
00:38:50,361 --> 00:38:53,364
Prime, WWE, Randy Orton?

575
00:38:53,431 --> 00:38:56,500
Nick, he RKO'd my business partner
on the Prime logo.

576
00:38:56,567 --> 00:38:58,302
-What's the plan?
-[inhales sharply]

577
00:38:59,704 --> 00:39:02,139
-[clicks tongue]
-What? Oh, I see.

578
00:39:02,206 --> 00:39:04,709
Okay. You don't want to dwell
in the past, I get it,

579
00:39:04,775 --> 00:39:08,112
um, but I think that Randy
should probably apologize.

580
00:39:08,179 --> 00:39:09,780
-You do?
-Yeah, I do.

581
00:39:09,847 --> 00:39:11,916
-Okay.
-Yeah, not for me.

582
00:39:11,982 --> 00:39:14,585
Not for me, Nick, I don't care.
I could care less.

583
00:39:14,652 --> 00:39:19,123
But for you, you know, you could
get in serious trouble otherwise.

584
00:39:19,190 --> 00:39:21,058
I mean, think about the precedent
it could set,

585
00:39:21,125 --> 00:39:23,227
the impact it could have on SmackDown,
the very fabric--

586
00:39:23,294 --> 00:39:24,595
-You know what?
-What?

587
00:39:25,596 --> 00:39:28,065
I think it would set a great precedent

588
00:39:29,366 --> 00:39:34,004
if you requested that apology
from Randy Orton in person.

589
00:39:35,005 --> 00:39:36,707
Think of the precedent that would set.

590
00:39:37,775 --> 00:39:40,010
-Oh, me? You want me to do it?
-I think it's great.

591
00:39:40,077 --> 00:39:42,880
Okay, well, it is your job
to make that happen.

592
00:39:42,947 --> 00:39:44,215
-Is it?
-Yeah, it is.

593
00:39:44,281 --> 00:39:45,716
-Oh.
-Yeah.

594
00:39:45,783 --> 00:39:49,453
But then again, how could I
expect you to do your job

595
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,423
when you can't even find me
an opponent for WrestleMania?

596
00:39:59,029 --> 00:40:01,165
[Graves] Well, Bad News,
you know, I am a betting man,

597
00:40:01,232 --> 00:40:05,035
and I don't like the odds of The Viper
issuing an apology to anybody.

598
00:40:05,102 --> 00:40:07,138
[Wade] Yeah, been there
with The Viper before.

599
00:40:07,204 --> 00:40:09,006
It never ended well for me.

600
00:40:09,073 --> 00:40:10,875
Hopefully, Logan has better fortune.

601
00:40:10,941 --> 00:40:12,476
[def rebel's "Eye On The Prize" playing]

602
00:40:12,543 --> 00:40:13,677
[bell rings]

603
00:40:13,744 --> 00:40:17,581
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

604
00:40:17,648 --> 00:40:21,852
Introducing first,
accompanied to the ring by Austin Theory,

605
00:40:21,919 --> 00:40:24,622
from Sydney, Australia,
weighing 204 pounds,

606
00:40:24,688 --> 00:40:28,359
Grayson Waller!

607
00:40:28,426 --> 00:40:30,494
[Graves] He is brash, he is loquacious,

608
00:40:30,561 --> 00:40:35,499
and Grayson Waller is about to go
one-on-one with The Viper.

609
00:40:35,566 --> 00:40:40,371
Randy Orton live,
next on Friday Night SmackDown.

610
00:40:43,841 --> 00:40:46,477
[exclaiming]

611
00:40:58,222 --> 00:41:00,157
[Graves] Well, this July,
Money in the Bank

612
00:41:00,224 --> 00:41:02,092
heads to Toronto, Ontario,

613
00:41:02,159 --> 00:41:05,996
as part of a jam-packed weekend

and NXT Heatwave, Sunday, July 7th.

617

Combo tickets for all three events

618
00:41:18,776 --> 00:41:21,145
And just this week, we got massive news

619
00:41:21,212 --> 00:41:25,149
regarding another WWE
Premium Live Event this summer,

620
00:41:25,216 --> 00:41:28,118
again, courtesy of Logan Paul.

621
00:41:29,753 --> 00:41:31,222
SummerSlam.

622
00:41:31,288 --> 00:41:34,091
WWE SummerSlam will be hosted

623
00:41:34,158 --> 00:41:36,460
in Cleveland, Ohio this year.

624
00:41:36,527 --> 00:41:40,531
-Oh my God!
-Cleveland, where I'm from.

625
00:41:40,598 --> 00:41:43,367
We're bringing it back
at the Cleveland Browns Stadium.

626
00:41:44,768 --> 00:41:48,372
[Wade] Yes, we are heading
to the Dawg Pound this summer.

627
00:41:48,439 --> 00:41:52,676
Cleveland, we cannot wait
for you guys to host SummerSlam.

628
00:41:52,743 --> 00:41:55,513
[Graves] Cleveland, get ready
to show us what you're made of.

629
00:41:55,579 --> 00:42:00,384
It's the biggest party of the summer,
and it's going down in The Land.

630
00:42:05,723 --> 00:42:07,291
-[crowd boos]
-Excuse me.

631
00:42:07,358 --> 00:42:08,726
Oh God!

632
00:42:10,828 --> 00:42:14,331
I just wanted to ask if The Bloodline
had an official response

633
00:42:14,398 --> 00:42:18,402
to Jey Uso's WrestleMania XL
challenge to his brother, Jimmy.

634
00:42:19,403 --> 00:42:22,273
Actually, yes, we do got a response.

635
00:42:22,339 --> 00:42:25,976
Yeah. Little brother out there
talking that big noise, huh?

636
00:42:26,043 --> 00:42:27,478
You forgot, did you?

637
00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:31,782
You forgot before The Right Hand Man,
before you becoming a main eventer,

638
00:42:31,849 --> 00:42:36,053
before you becoming the longest reigning
tag team in WWE,

639
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,622
you was my little brother.

640
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,124
I raised you.

641
00:42:40,791 --> 00:42:42,626
Man, you followed me everywhere.

642
00:42:42,693 --> 00:42:44,395
I told you I got you.

643
00:42:44,461 --> 00:42:47,565
Yeah, last year at WrestleMania,
it was me and you.

644
00:42:47,631 --> 00:42:50,634
This year WrestleMania,
it's me versus you.

645
00:42:50,701 --> 00:42:52,970
Hey, Uce…

646
00:42:53,037 --> 00:42:55,806
Big bro got you.

647
00:42:55,873 --> 00:42:57,308
You want me?

648
00:42:58,409 --> 00:42:59,643
Yeet!

649
00:43:09,720 --> 00:43:14,224
[Graves] Well, the stars
are out tonight on Beale Street,

650
00:43:14,291 --> 00:43:18,529
including two-time Grammy-nominated
singer-songwriter duo

651
00:43:18,596 --> 00:43:21,231
husband and wife,
Michael and Tanya Trotter.

652
00:43:21,298 --> 00:43:25,102
Perhaps better known worldwide
as The War and Treaty,

653
00:43:25,169 --> 00:43:27,571
here in the house
as our very special guest.

654
00:43:27,638 --> 00:43:32,509
They got a new single, "Stealing a Kiss,"
that will be released next Friday.

655
00:43:32,576 --> 00:43:35,145
The War and Treaty
having a great time tonight

656
00:43:35,212 --> 00:43:37,848
on Friday Night SmackDown.

657
00:43:37,915 --> 00:43:41,352
And Grayson Waller, the man who
continues to make headlines here in WWE

658
00:43:41,418 --> 00:43:44,655
alongside his protégé, Austin Theory.

659
00:43:44,722 --> 00:43:47,124
But it's not gonna get easier.

660

[Rev Theory's "Voices" playing]

661
00:43:55,032 --> 00:43:56,634
[announcer] And his opponent.

662
00:43:56,700 --> 00:43:59,503
From St. Louis, Missouri,

663
00:43:59,570 --> 00:44:05,142
weighing in at 275 pounds,

Randy Orton!

666
00:44:14,018 --> 00:44:16,453
[Graves] I'm gonna put you
on the spot, Bad News.

667
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,023
What do you think the odds truly are

668
00:44:19,089 --> 00:44:21,925
of Randy Orton
issuing an apology to Logan Paul?

669
00:44:21,992 --> 00:44:24,328
[Wade] Uh, is there a negative
possibility for odds?

670
00:44:24,395 --> 00:44:27,031
Because believe me,
it's not gonna be happening.

671
00:44:27,097 --> 00:44:29,700
That is not how Randy Orton is built.

672
00:44:39,076 --> 00:44:42,813

firsthand experience

680
00:45:12,242 --> 00:45:17,214
of what it means to be in the ring
with The Legend Killer himself,

681
00:45:17,281 --> 00:45:19,450
"The Viper" Randy Orton.

682
00:45:19,516 --> 00:45:23,454
[Wade] Grayson Waller is somebody
who just lives off confidence,

683
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,622
and you can have
all the confidence in the world

684
00:45:25,689 --> 00:45:27,825
going into a matchup with an opponent.

685
00:45:27,891 --> 00:45:32,296
But Grayson Waller's face
told the story the second that hit,

686
00:45:32,362 --> 00:45:34,965
"I hear voices in my head,"

687
00:45:35,032 --> 00:45:36,767
his face dropped.

688
00:45:36,834 --> 00:45:40,804
He knew the world of trouble
that he has landed his self in,

689
00:45:40,871 --> 00:45:43,941
and confidence immediately dissipated.

690
00:45:44,007 --> 00:45:46,210
[Graves] Grayson Waller
posted on X earlier today

691
00:45:46,276 --> 00:45:48,278
with a graphic of this matchup saying,

692
00:45:48,345 --> 00:45:54,318
"Legend Killer versus Legend Maker.
Huge opportunity here for Randy."

693
00:45:54,384 --> 00:45:56,687
[Wade] Yeah, I'm not sure how many Legends

694
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:59,223
Grayson Waller has made thus far,

695
00:45:59,289 --> 00:46:04,027
but I… I await that happening
before our eyes tonight.

696
00:46:11,735 --> 00:46:13,937
[Graves] Well, tonight's
Friday Night SmackDown on Fox

697
00:46:14,004 --> 00:46:16,373
is sponsored by Progressive.

698
00:46:19,576 --> 00:46:22,412
[crowd cheers]

699
00:46:27,151 --> 00:46:31,255
The Viper basking in adulation
of the WWE Universe

700
00:46:31,321 --> 00:46:35,392
in a sold-out FedExForum
tonight in Memphis.

701
00:46:35,459 --> 00:46:37,661
[Wade] The longer this entrance takes,

702
00:46:37,728 --> 00:46:40,731
the more acid dread pumps
through the veins

703
00:46:40,798 --> 00:46:43,367
of the audacious Aussie, Grayson Waller.

704
00:46:43,433 --> 00:46:45,068
[Graves] And, of course,
you're saying this

705
00:46:45,135 --> 00:46:46,637
speaking from experience, right, Wade?

706
00:46:46,703 --> 00:46:49,373
You've had the opportunity
to stand across the ring from The Viper.

707
00:46:49,439 --> 00:46:52,342
[Wade] Yeah, there's a reason
why I retired at age 35.

708
00:46:52,409 --> 00:46:55,145
Simply too many battles with Randy Orton.

709
00:46:55,212 --> 00:46:57,848
[crowd chanting] Randy! Randy! Randy!

710
00:46:57,915 --> 00:46:59,650
[Graves] These are mind games
out of the gate.

711
00:46:59,716 --> 00:47:02,286
Randy Orton is making Grayson Waller wait.

712
00:47:02,352 --> 00:47:04,521
[crowd cheering]

713
00:47:07,658 --> 00:47:09,660
[Waller yelling]

714
00:47:15,799 --> 00:47:20,571
[def rebel's "Take Flight" playing]

715
00:47:21,839 --> 00:47:23,006
[Graves] Wait a minute.

716
00:47:24,875 --> 00:47:27,077
We got an unscheduled guest.

717
00:47:27,144 --> 00:47:31,248
Logan Paul has been
all over the show tonight already.

718
00:47:31,315 --> 00:47:34,718
Wade, what do you think the United States
Champion is doing out here now?

719
00:47:34,785 --> 00:47:38,355
You don't think Logan honestly expects
an apology from Orton, do you?

720
00:47:38,422 --> 00:47:42,359
[Wade] Maybe he's going to sponsor
Randy Orton's tights,

721
00:47:42,426 --> 00:47:43,727
maybe his boots.

722
00:47:44,461 --> 00:47:49,099
Maybe he's just out here to gloat
about SummerSlam going to Cleveland.

723
00:47:50,033 --> 00:47:51,969
[Graves] Anything is possible. I mean…

724
00:47:52,035 --> 00:47:54,471
Listen, I know you and I
both are for sale.

725
00:47:54,538 --> 00:47:56,707
I think maybe we should
have a Prime commentator.

726
00:47:56,773 --> 00:47:59,509
[Wade] If you want me to wear
one of those Prime bottle outfits,

727
00:47:59,576 --> 00:48:02,679
if it's a paying gig, I'm certainly down.

728
00:48:05,749 --> 00:48:08,418
[Graves] And it looks as though
the United States Champion

729
00:48:08,485 --> 00:48:11,622
is headed our way, Bad News.

730
00:48:11,688 --> 00:48:14,958
[Wade] Good friend of the desk.
Always welcome over here, Corey.

731
00:48:15,025 --> 00:48:16,693
-[Graves] Well, moments ago…
-[bell rings]

732
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,328
…Orton was playing mind games,

733
00:48:18,395 --> 00:48:22,532
and now The Viper being victimized
with the arrival of Logan Paul.

734
00:48:22,599 --> 00:48:25,636
Logan, welcome to the commentary desk.

735
00:48:25,702 --> 00:48:28,205
[Logan] Always a pleasure.
Always a pleasure.

736
00:48:28,272 --> 00:48:30,407
[Wade] No, the pleasure
is all ours, Logan.

737
00:48:30,474 --> 00:48:35,212
And once again, congratulations on Prime
sponsoring the WWE mat

738
00:48:35,279 --> 00:48:37,414
at Premium Live Events, that is…

739
00:48:37,481 --> 00:48:40,017
[Logan] Yeah. Thank you, sir.
It's a shame Randy ruined all of it.

740
00:48:40,083 --> 00:48:43,086
[Graves] Oh, speaking of WrestleMania
plans, Logan, we've learned tonight

741
00:48:43,153 --> 00:48:47,291
that AJ Styles and LA Knight
appear to have WrestleMania plans.

742
00:48:47,357 --> 00:48:49,626
Any progress on your
WrestleMania match yet?

743
00:48:49,693 --> 00:48:51,295
[Logan] Uh, no. That's Nick Aldis' fault.

744
00:48:51,361 --> 00:48:53,697
He's not doing his job
as he is not good at it.

745
00:48:53,764 --> 00:48:56,500
[Wade] I got to agree with you on that.
It's the first time in history

746
00:48:56,566 --> 00:49:00,504
I ever recall a United States Champion
having to beg

747
00:49:00,570 --> 00:49:02,539
to make his way
onto the WrestleMania card,

748
00:49:02,606 --> 00:49:03,874
it's a disgrace.

749
00:49:03,941 --> 00:49:06,109
[Logan] Why should I be
on the back burner? I'm a star.

750
00:49:06,176 --> 00:49:07,244
[Wade] It's pathetic.

751
00:49:07,311 --> 00:49:10,547
[Graves] Right now, Waller looking to make
something spectacular happen

752
00:49:10,614 --> 00:49:13,016
at the expense of Randy Orton.

753
00:49:13,083 --> 00:49:16,720
[Wade] Logan Paul's got an up close
and personal view of this beatdown.

754
00:49:16,787 --> 00:49:19,156
[Graves] Oh, we know how this goes.

755
00:49:19,222 --> 00:49:22,693
Waller doing his best to fight out
of the clasp of Randy Orton,

756
00:49:22,759 --> 00:49:23,894
and does so.

757
00:49:23,961 --> 00:49:27,030
[Wade] About the smartest thing
Grayson Waller has done all day,

758
00:49:27,097 --> 00:49:28,632
but not quick enough!

759
00:49:28,699 --> 00:49:31,068
[Graves] Waller sent into
our timekeeper's area.

760
00:49:33,370 --> 00:49:36,573
[Wade] Distractions everywhere
you look for Randy Orton.

761
00:49:41,044 --> 00:49:43,914
[Graves] Waller! Oh my God.

762
00:49:43,981 --> 00:49:47,084
Face-first into the table goes Orton.

763
00:49:47,150 --> 00:49:49,720
Grayson Waller is in control.

764
00:49:49,786 --> 00:49:51,154
This is the man right here!

765
00:49:53,790 --> 00:49:56,026
[Graves] Grayson Waller,
"The Aussie Icon,"

766
00:49:56,093 --> 00:49:58,395
one-on-one with "The Viper" Randy Orton.

767
00:49:58,462 --> 00:50:01,698
We are joined at the commentary desk
by the United States Champion,

768
00:50:01,765 --> 00:50:04,601
The Maverick himself, Logan Paul.

769
00:50:04,668 --> 00:50:08,538
Logan, I heard earlier you discussing
with Nick Aldis an apology,

770
00:50:08,605 --> 00:50:11,808
that you feel as though
Randy Orton owes you an apology.

771
00:50:11,875 --> 00:50:14,311
-Are you really expecting that?
-Uh, not expecting it.

772
00:50:14,378 --> 00:50:16,413
Demanding it.
Randy Orton ruined my big moment

773
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,215
with Prime partnership last weekend.

774
00:50:18,281 --> 00:50:19,750
I only find it cordial,

775
00:50:19,816 --> 00:50:22,319
and if he was a man with
any integrity, he'd apologize.

776
00:50:22,386 --> 00:50:24,421
[Wade] And I'll tell you
from personal experience,

777
00:50:24,488 --> 00:50:26,156
Logan, I admire everything about you.

778
00:50:26,223 --> 00:50:30,761
But I will advise you to keep
well clear of "The Viper" Randy Orton.

779
00:50:30,827 --> 00:50:33,630
Let me ask you, how is KSI's neck
after last week's RKO?

780
00:50:33,697 --> 00:50:35,932
[Logan] Couldn't tell you.
Just could tell you that

781
00:50:35,999 --> 00:50:38,435
I haven't listened to any of
my advisors for years,

782
00:50:38,502 --> 00:50:40,237
and I don't plan to start listening now.

783
00:50:40,303 --> 00:50:42,339
[Graves] Powerslam by The Viper.

784
00:50:43,740 --> 00:50:45,742
[crowd cheers]

785
00:50:47,110 --> 00:50:51,782
[Wade] That is how quickly The Viper
can turn a match on its head.

786
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,618
[Graves] And if we're judging
by WWE 2K24 ratings,

787
00:50:54,684 --> 00:50:56,653
this is a mismatch in and of itself.

788
00:50:56,720 --> 00:51:00,490
Randy Orton hanging out at a 91
with Waller,

789
00:51:00,557 --> 00:51:02,526
much to be desired at 74.

790
00:51:02,592 --> 00:51:05,695
Orton, of course, one of the most
popular Superstars in the game…

791
00:51:05,762 --> 00:51:07,531
As he's dumped down to the floor.

792
00:51:07,597 --> 00:51:10,767
[Wade] Well, a victory for Waller here
may change those stats next year,

793
00:51:10,834 --> 00:51:12,269
that's for sure.

794
00:51:12,335 --> 00:51:13,603
[Graves] Nobody home!

795
00:51:13,670 --> 00:51:16,106
And Waller takes a ride

796
00:51:16,173 --> 00:51:18,175
courtesy of Randy Orton.

797
00:51:19,276 --> 00:51:21,978
[Wade] Randy starting to get
that second wind.

798
00:51:22,979 --> 00:51:24,648
[Logan] Grayson, get up!

799
00:51:25,916 --> 00:51:27,584
Grayson, get up!

800
00:51:28,452 --> 00:51:31,121
[Graves] Logan Paul pleading
with Grayson Waller

801
00:51:31,188 --> 00:51:33,356
to recover and get back into this fight.

802
00:51:33,423 --> 00:51:37,127
And Orton doesn't wanna let that happen.

803

804
00:51:39,229 --> 00:51:42,766
Grayson Waller's spine racked with pain.

805

[Wade] Despite the distractions
at every turn,

806
00:51:46,103 --> 00:51:48,872
Randy Orton in full control now.

807
00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:52,375
[Logan] He took his eye off the ball.
That's the problem.

808
00:51:52,442 --> 00:51:53,844
[Wade] Speaking of distractions.

809
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:58,482
[Graves] Austin Theory making his
presence felt yet again.

810
00:52:00,317 --> 00:52:04,521
Here comes Waller. Colliding with Theory.

811
00:52:04,588 --> 00:52:06,923
[Logan] Tweedledee
and Tweedledum over here.

812
00:52:08,291 --> 00:52:09,993
Come on, come on!

813
00:52:14,631 --> 00:52:16,833
[Graves] We know what happens next.

814
00:52:17,701 --> 00:52:19,336
Vintage Orton!

815
00:52:21,204 --> 00:52:23,273
[Logan] Come on. Grayson!

816
00:52:24,741 --> 00:52:29,112
[Wade] Panic in the eyes of
United States Champion, Logan Paul.

817
00:52:30,046 --> 00:52:32,983
Grayson Waller about to be
put to the sword.

818
00:52:33,049 --> 00:52:35,085
[Graves] I'm sure if Grayson Waller
knew where he was,

819
00:52:35,152 --> 00:52:37,320
he would have panic in his eyes as well.

820
00:52:37,387 --> 00:52:40,223
-[crowd chants] RKO! RKO!
-[Wade] Mind is scrambled.

821
00:52:40,290 --> 00:52:42,492
And it's about to get worse.

822
00:52:42,559 --> 00:52:46,429
[Graves] A deafening chant echoing
throughout the FedExForum.

823
00:52:46,496 --> 00:52:49,032
This is the beginning of the end. No.

824
00:52:49,733 --> 00:52:52,569
Austin Theory coming to the aid
of Grayson Waller,

825
00:52:52,636 --> 00:52:54,437
much to the delight of Logan Paul.

826
00:52:54,504 --> 00:52:56,273
[Wade] What a friend, Austin Theory.

827
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,209
-[Logan] Not like this. Come on.
-[Wade] On the line.

828
00:53:00,644 --> 00:53:02,712
[Graves] Vintage Orton yet again.

829
00:53:05,182 --> 00:53:07,317
RKO!

830
00:53:07,384 --> 00:53:08,518
[Logan whimpering]

831
00:53:11,388 --> 00:53:15,492
Logan, The Viper making absolutely
sure you saw that.

Randy Orton!

835
00:53:27,704 --> 00:53:31,374
[Graves] What a win by Randy Orton,

836
00:53:31,441 --> 00:53:34,744
who at times had to feel like
he was in a handicap match.

837
00:53:34,811 --> 00:53:39,149
Here comes Theory from behind,
clipping the knee of The Viper.

838
00:53:39,216 --> 00:53:43,453
[Wade] Theory simply refusing to move on.

839
00:53:46,556 --> 00:53:49,593
And it's a gift
for the United States Champion.

840
00:53:49,659 --> 00:53:52,662
[Graves] You're exactly right.
Theory is setting Orton up…

841
00:53:53,730 --> 00:53:55,498
for The Maverick

842
00:54:01,037 --> 00:54:02,906

00:54:16,252 --> 00:54:20,090
Logan Paul knows exactly
what that guitar riff means!

849
00:54:20,156 --> 00:54:22,759
Kevin Owens hits the scene!

850
00:54:22,826 --> 00:54:26,963
[Wade] Somebody who needs
no excuses to go after The Maverick,

851
00:54:27,030 --> 00:54:30,867
who, perhaps wisely,
is hightailing it out of here

852
00:54:30,934 --> 00:54:32,936
with the United States Championship.

853
00:54:33,003 --> 00:54:36,740
[Graves] Owens, certainly not
a fan of Logan Paul

854
00:54:36,806 --> 00:54:38,475
in any way, shape or form.

855
00:54:38,541 --> 00:54:41,211
-Coming to the aid of…

[Graves] Stunner to Theory! RKO!

858
00:54:53,423 --> 00:54:55,458
[Owens] Oh my God!

859
00:54:57,527 --> 00:55:00,964
[Graves] Owens and Orton able to avoid
a little friendly fire.

860
00:55:03,433 --> 00:55:07,337
[Wade] Unreal kinetic energy
in those moves.

861
00:55:07,404 --> 00:55:11,574
And with a front row seat,
Logan Paul, this may be your future.

862
00:55:11,641 --> 00:55:14,344
Logan, Logan. So sorry to interrupt.

863
00:55:14,411 --> 00:55:18,148
I, uh… I just wanted to follow up
on our meeting from earlier.

864
00:55:18,214 --> 00:55:19,582
A couple of things.

865
00:55:19,649 --> 00:55:21,418
First off, um,

866
00:55:21,484 --> 00:55:24,120
were you able to get
that apology from Randy?

867
00:55:24,187 --> 00:55:26,122
Or… No?

868
00:55:26,956 --> 00:55:28,625
Okay. Secondly.

869
00:55:30,994 --> 00:55:34,197
I've determined your opponent
for WrestleMania.

870
00:55:35,131 --> 00:55:36,700
[crowd cheering]

871
00:55:37,667 --> 00:55:39,869
I'm so sorry. I misspoke.

872
00:55:39,936 --> 00:55:44,541
I've determined your opponents
for WrestleMania.

873
00:55:44,607 --> 00:55:46,876
[crowd cheers]

874
00:55:46,943 --> 00:55:50,547
You will defend
the United States Championship

875
00:55:50,613 --> 00:55:52,615
against Kevin Owens…

876
00:55:55,218 --> 00:55:57,220
and Randy Orton…

877
00:55:59,222 --> 00:56:03,026
in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania.

878
00:56:05,795 --> 00:56:07,063
[Rev Theory's "Voices" playing]

879
00:56:07,130 --> 00:56:11,067
[Graves] Logan Paul is beside himself,
with good reason.

880
00:56:11,134 --> 00:56:13,436
[Wade] Careful what you wish for.

881
00:56:13,503 --> 00:56:16,773
Triple Threat, double the danger
at WrestleMania

882
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:20,076
for the United States Champion,
Logan Paul.

883
00:56:22,245 --> 00:56:25,115
[Graves] Logan Paul
will find himself outnumbered,

884
00:56:25,181 --> 00:56:28,218
which is a situation
familiar to one of the competitors

885
00:56:28,284 --> 00:56:29,886
in our main event tonight.

886
00:56:29,953 --> 00:56:33,690
Bayley, who has been the victim
of the ultimate betrayal.

887
00:56:33,757 --> 00:56:36,359
Let's take a look at how
we got to tonight's main event

888
00:56:36,426 --> 00:56:37,994
in our Progressive Match Flo.

889
00:56:38,061 --> 00:56:39,295
Oh no.

890
00:56:40,797 --> 00:56:43,566
[announcer] Match Flo
is sponsored by Progressive.

891
00:56:43,633 --> 00:56:46,970
A triple threat of protection
with home, auto, and more.

892
00:56:47,036 --> 00:56:51,841
[Graves] The Kabuki Warriors against
the team of Bayley and Dakota Kai.

893
00:56:51,908 --> 00:56:56,379
You could see the motivation
on the faces of Bayley and Dakota Kai

894
00:56:56,446 --> 00:56:59,883
who have been betrayed
by The Kabuki Warriors and Iyo Sky.

895
00:57:00,850 --> 00:57:03,520
We're gonna make them pay.

896
00:57:03,586 --> 00:57:07,490
[Wade] Bayley personally took this unit
to the very top.

897
00:57:07,557 --> 00:57:10,460
Bayley served a purpose,
these ladies then threw her to the wolves.

898
00:57:10,527 --> 00:57:13,129
[Graves] Oh, and Dakota
sent crashing to the outside.

899
00:57:13,196 --> 00:57:16,966
[Wade] Which is the reason
why they are Tag Team Champions.

900
00:57:17,767 --> 00:57:21,538
Just in the nick of time.
Dakota Kai is back.

901
00:57:24,541 --> 00:57:26,209
[Graves] Bayley's got daylight.

902
00:57:26,276 --> 00:57:27,343
What the hell?

903
00:57:29,312 --> 00:57:32,549
[crowd boos]

904
00:57:37,687 --> 00:57:39,255
[Graves] And Bayley's going for Kai!

905
00:57:41,991 --> 00:57:44,694
[Wade] The numbers game simply too strong.

906
00:57:51,334 --> 00:57:54,737
It's my title!

907
00:57:54,804 --> 00:57:59,676
[Graves] The fourth and final dagger,
courtesy of Dakota Kai.

908
00:58:05,582 --> 00:58:08,284
I'm standing by with Damage CTRL,
and, Dakota,

909
00:58:08,351 --> 00:58:11,387
Bayley seems determined
to take you all out one by one

910
00:58:11,454 --> 00:58:13,690
before her match with Iyo Sky
at WrestleMania.

911
00:58:13,756 --> 00:58:16,292
Kayla, Bayley is not going to be
able to take all of us out

912
00:58:16,359 --> 00:58:18,094
and make it to WrestleMania.

913
00:58:18,928 --> 00:58:21,364
But you know what?
I know she's watching, right?

914
00:58:21,431 --> 00:58:23,867
Bayley, Bayley,

915
00:58:23,933 --> 00:58:26,769
I am going to break you, okay?

916
00:58:26,836 --> 00:58:30,907
And anyone who feels sorry for you
has lost their damn minds

917
00:58:30,974 --> 00:58:32,375
because this…

918
00:58:32,442 --> 00:58:34,844
this is all your doing, all right?

919
00:58:34,911 --> 00:58:37,046
You were jealous of Iyo,

920
00:58:37,113 --> 00:58:39,148
threatened by Kairi and Asuka.

921
00:58:39,215 --> 00:58:42,619
So in order for us to grow stronger
as Damage CTRL,

922
00:58:42,685 --> 00:58:44,420
we had to cut you loose.

923
00:58:45,455 --> 00:58:48,324

Dragon Lee.

953
01:00:41,304 --> 01:00:45,308
[Graves] Dragon Lee,
highly motivated and laser focused

954
01:00:46,743 --> 01:00:50,313
as he prepares to do battle
with Santos Escobar.

955
01:00:51,014 --> 01:00:53,383

Dragon Lee looking
for a measure of revenge

957
01:00:56,085 --> 01:00:58,788
after what he suffered last week
here on Friday Night SmackDown.

958
01:00:58,855 --> 01:01:00,757
[Wade] Last week on SmackDown,

959
01:01:00,823 --> 01:01:03,359
Angel was taking on Dragon Lee in singles.

960
01:01:03,426 --> 01:01:06,963
Dragon Lee scored the victory
with Legado Del Fantasma

961

We've got two second-generation
Superstars doing battle.

01:01:40,763 --> 01:01:44,901
Of course, Escobar, the son of
El Fantasma, legendary luchador.

973
01:01:44,967 --> 01:01:49,539
Dragon Lee, the son of La Bestia del Ring,
another lucha icon.

974
01:01:50,373 --> 01:01:52,942
And Dragon Lee pushing the pace
here in the early goings.

-[Wade] But this is, to me, Dragon Lee--
-[Graves] Whoa!

[Wade] Caught me in my tracks,

977
01:01:58,481 --> 01:02:01,751
but this is Dragon Lee, for me,
playing a dangerous game once again.

978
01:02:01,818 --> 01:02:04,754
Bearing in mind what happened last week
with Legado Del Fantasma.

979
01:02:04,821 --> 01:02:07,557
Surrounding the ring and him out here
on his own, guess what?

980
01:02:07,623 --> 01:02:09,358
We're in the same situation.

981
01:02:09,425 --> 01:02:12,895
[Graves] Great athleticism by Dragon Lee.
Looking to hoist up Santos Escobar.

982
01:02:12,962 --> 01:02:15,064
Escobar in trouble, fighting desperately,

983
01:02:15,131 --> 01:02:18,434
able to free himself
from the grasp of the Dragon.

984
01:02:20,970 --> 01:02:26,142
And a superkick
right in the mug of Escobar.

985
01:02:27,276 --> 01:02:29,846
[Wade] This would be a huge scalp
for Dragon Lee

986
01:02:29,912 --> 01:02:33,883
to claim the respect of Santos Escobar
around the world,

987
01:02:33,950 --> 01:02:36,986
especially in the lucha game,
is simply massive.

988
01:02:37,053 --> 01:02:39,989
[Graves] Dragon again looking
for the possible sit-out powerbomb.

989
01:02:40,056 --> 01:02:41,691
This is outrageous strength.

990
01:02:41,758 --> 01:02:42,925
Into the cover…

991
01:02:44,093 --> 01:02:46,262
And Escobar keeps this alive.

992
01:02:47,563 --> 01:02:51,200
We didn't have to wait long
for Dragon Lee to blow our minds.

993
01:02:51,267 --> 01:02:53,736
Taking to the skies,
throwing caution to the wind,

994
01:02:53,803 --> 01:02:55,838
and taking out Santos Escobar.

995
01:02:55,905 --> 01:02:57,640
[Wade] Such a dangerous competitor.

996
01:02:57,707 --> 01:03:02,011
That's why many have called
him the future of lucha libre.

997
01:03:02,078 --> 01:03:06,682
For my money, the now of lucha libre
is his opponent, Santos Escobar,

998
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,385
who has not got out of the block
so far this evening.

999
01:03:09,452 --> 01:03:10,720
[Graves] You're absolutely right.

1000
01:03:10,787 --> 01:03:14,624
Escobar has been completely ineffective
since the opening bell,

1001
01:03:14,690 --> 01:03:19,595
and Dragon Lee launches Humberto
into Angel on the outside.

1002
01:03:19,662 --> 01:03:22,431
But Dragon had better keep
his eyes on the task at hand.

1003
01:03:22,498 --> 01:03:23,966
That being Escobar.

1004
01:03:24,033 --> 01:03:27,103
[Wade] Escobar and his deep bag of tricks.

1005
01:03:28,104 --> 01:03:30,973
[Graves] Phantom Driver!
That's gonna do it.

Santos Escobar.

1009

[Graves] Dragon Lee
had all the momentum on his side,

1010
01:03:44,220 --> 01:03:47,456
but the momentary hesitation cost him big.

1011
01:03:47,523 --> 01:03:49,125

in a street fight a couple of weeks ago,

Santos wanting no part of Carlito tonight.

1017
01:04:06,142 --> 01:04:07,977
[Graves] Backstabber to Angel!

1018
01:04:12,882 --> 01:04:15,952
And Berto driven down
onto his tag team partner.

1019
01:04:16,018 --> 01:04:17,753
But Escobar just clocked Carlito.

1020
01:04:17,820 --> 01:04:22,758
[Wade] As the bodies piled up,
The Emperor was lying in wait.

1021
01:04:23,793 --> 01:04:26,829
[Escobar yelling indistinctly]

1022
01:04:26,896 --> 01:04:30,333
[P.O.D's "Booyaka" playing]

1023
01:04:30,399 --> 01:04:32,001
[Graves] Is he here?

1024
01:04:33,002 --> 01:04:34,670
He is!

1025
01:04:34,737 --> 01:04:38,908
The Hall of Famer! The leader of the LWO…

1026
01:04:39,709 --> 01:04:41,811
Rey Mysterio!

1027
01:04:41,877 --> 01:04:45,214
[Wade] Santos Escobar's former mentor,

1028
01:04:45,281 --> 01:04:46,883
former hero.

1029
01:04:47,516 --> 01:04:51,053
Things have soured
in the worst way possible.

1030
01:04:57,260 --> 01:05:01,831
[Graves] Here we go.
Mysterio teeing off on Santos Escobar.

1031
01:05:04,901 --> 01:05:06,903
[Wade] Simply ageless.

1032
01:05:07,570 --> 01:05:09,672
[Graves] Here we go, dial it up!

1033
01:05:10,773 --> 01:05:14,076
Escobar out of harm's way, just in time.

1034
01:05:15,778 --> 01:05:19,548
[Wade] Nobody has studied Rey Mysterio
more than Santos…

1035
01:05:19,615 --> 01:05:21,117
Why you running, Santos?

1036
01:05:22,018 --> 01:05:22,985
Why are you running?

1037
01:05:23,052 --> 01:05:24,487
[speaking Spanish]

1038
01:05:24,553 --> 01:05:26,689
[in English] Remember what you said?

1039
01:05:26,756 --> 01:05:30,726
It was supposed to be
me and you… together.

1040
01:05:30,793 --> 01:05:32,228
Familia.

1041
01:05:33,195 --> 01:05:35,298
Let me give you what you want.

1042
01:05:35,364 --> 01:05:37,366
How about next week…

1043
01:05:38,968 --> 01:05:41,170
one-on-one,

1044
01:05:41,237 --> 01:05:42,438
you and me?

1045
01:05:43,072 --> 01:05:44,707
[crowd cheering]

1046
01:05:46,409 --> 01:05:47,743
And I promise you…

1047
01:05:47,810 --> 01:05:51,547
[speaking Spanish]

1048
01:05:51,614 --> 01:05:53,950
[in English] …from the bottom of my heart,

1049
01:05:54,016 --> 01:05:58,087
I will slap that stupid,

1050
01:05:58,154 --> 01:05:59,989
arrogant smile off your face.

1051
01:06:00,056 --> 01:06:03,326
[crowd cheers]

1052
01:06:03,392 --> 01:06:06,395
[Wade] Mysterio wants it.
The world wants it.

1053
01:06:06,462 --> 01:06:07,964
Will Escobar accept?

1054
01:06:08,764 --> 01:06:10,733
[Graves] It's been a long time coming.

1055
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,536
A showdown could be on the horizon

1056
01:06:13,602 --> 01:06:16,138
for Mysterio and Escobar.

1057
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:18,541
And while we're talking about
a long time coming,

1058
01:06:18,607 --> 01:06:22,111
after suffering betrayal
by the group she created

1059
01:06:22,178 --> 01:06:26,182
the winner of the 2024
Women's Royal Rumble Match, Bayley,

1060
01:06:26,248 --> 01:06:30,252
goes one-on-one
with Dakota Kai live tonight.

1061
01:06:33,756 --> 01:06:35,991
-[Graves] It is time for another…
-[bell rings]

1062
01:06:36,058 --> 01:06:39,328
…WrestleMania Tag Team Championship
Qualifying Match

1063
01:06:39,395 --> 01:06:43,065
as the New Catch Republic
of Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne

1064
01:06:43,132 --> 01:06:45,835
square off against Pretty Deadly.

1065
01:06:45,901 --> 01:06:49,372
[Wade] All-English affair.
So this is essentially a quarterfinal.

1066
01:06:49,438 --> 01:06:54,543
Win this matchup, you go on to a semifinal
and you'll take on Legado Del Fantasma,

1067
01:06:54,610 --> 01:06:57,113
who were victorious earlier tonight.

1068
01:06:57,179 --> 01:06:59,949
Win that matchup,
you go on to WrestleMania

1069
01:07:00,015 --> 01:07:03,219
and you challenge
for the WWE Tag Team Championships

1070
01:07:03,285 --> 01:07:05,354
in a 6-Pack Challenge.

1071
01:07:05,421 --> 01:07:07,923
-[Graves] 6-pack Ladder Match Challenge.
-[Wade] Whoo!

1072
01:07:07,990 --> 01:07:10,993
[Graves] Talk about chaos.
Tag made to Pete Dunne.

1073
01:07:11,060 --> 01:07:14,263
There's some unusual athleticism
flexed by Tyler Bate.

1074
01:07:15,231 --> 01:07:17,666
And we've seen over the past
several months, Wade,

1075
01:07:17,733 --> 01:07:20,703
the return to form
of "The Bruiserweight," of Pete Dunne,

1076
01:07:20,770 --> 01:07:22,738
who's continuing to prove he is one of,

1077
01:07:22,805 --> 01:07:26,876
if not the most sadistic
submission specialists in the game.

1078
01:07:26,942 --> 01:07:30,513
[Wade] Yeah, he has a certain set
of skills that are highly deadly,

1079
01:07:30,579 --> 01:07:34,350
especially as it seems to pertain
to Pretty Deadly.

1080
01:07:34,417 --> 01:07:37,620
I don't know if these guys have
got some English beef between them,

1081
01:07:37,686 --> 01:07:39,622
but Pete Dunne over the past few months

1082
01:07:39,688 --> 01:07:42,591
has made a beeline for Pretty Deadly
whenever they've been around SmackDown.

1083
01:07:42,658 --> 01:07:44,493
[Graves] Small joint manipulation.

1084
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,963
I'm kind of shocked that this
is still legal,

1085
01:07:48,030 --> 01:07:53,936
but right now Kit Wilson suffering
at the hand of The Bruiserweight.

1086
01:07:55,771 --> 01:07:59,141
[Wade] Elton Prince not so long ago
had a nasty hand injury.

1087
01:07:59,208 --> 01:08:02,511
Kit Wilson may be about
to get the same problem.

1088
01:08:03,813 --> 01:08:06,449
[Graves] Poor Elton was confined
to a wheelchair for several weeks.

1089
01:08:06,515 --> 01:08:08,250
[Wade] That's how you know it was bad.

1090
01:08:09,351 --> 01:08:13,489
[Graves] Pete Dunne would be all too happy
to dish out some more punishment…

1091
01:08:14,990 --> 01:08:18,761
to Elton Prince and Kit Wilson,
collectively known as Pretty Deadly.

1092
01:08:18,828 --> 01:08:21,897
But… Oh no, things are about to
get even worse.

1093
01:08:24,867 --> 01:08:27,670
Kit able to get out of harm's way
for the moment.

1094
01:08:27,736 --> 01:08:30,906
And Elton Prince on the outside
making Dunne pay.

1095
01:08:30,973 --> 01:08:33,943
[Wade] Nice spot of divide and conquer
from Pretty Deadly.

1096
01:08:34,009 --> 01:08:35,044
[Graves] Cover here.

1097
01:08:35,111 --> 01:08:38,814
Pretty Deadly looking
to punch their ticket to the next round.

1098
01:08:38,881 --> 01:08:42,585
[Wade] That is the kind of cohesion
that led Pretty Deadly to numerous

1099
01:08:42,651 --> 01:08:45,521
NXT Tag Team Championships over the years.

1100
01:08:45,588 --> 01:08:50,025
Still awaiting their first opportunity
at WrestleMania, however.

1101
01:08:50,092 --> 01:08:52,862
[Graves] I had a chance to chat
with Pretty Deadly earlier in the day,

1102
01:08:52,928 --> 01:08:56,165
and they said when
we qualify for WrestleMania,

1103
01:08:56,232 --> 01:09:00,135
we have outfits planned that
would make Freddie Mercury blush.

1104
01:09:00,202 --> 01:09:04,340
[Wade] They are the unofficial tag team
of Buckingham Palace,

1105
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:08,611
and they're so pretty, they don't need
to edit their Instagram pics, Corey.

1106
01:09:08,677 --> 01:09:11,213
-[Graves] See what you did there.
-[Wade] Uh-huh.

1107
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:15,284
[Graves] Here comes Pete Dunne
in a single leg takedown by Prince.

1108
01:09:15,351 --> 01:09:18,888
Thwarts the forward progression
of The Bruiserweight.

1109
01:09:18,954 --> 01:09:22,558
Dunne now needs to make a tag
to the fresher Tyler Bate.

1110
01:09:22,625 --> 01:09:25,628
[Wade] And I love nothing more
than watching Pretty Deadly

1111
01:09:25,694 --> 01:09:28,063
once they get the upper hand in a matchup

1112
01:09:28,130 --> 01:09:32,535
from pretty to rather ugly in a heartbeat.

1113
01:09:34,003 --> 01:09:36,739
[Graves] Dunne just continuing
to swing the heavy lumber.

1114
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:40,075
[Wade] That's a scary thing about Dunne,

1115
01:09:40,142 --> 01:09:42,711
you know if you're getting
in the ring with him,

1116
01:09:42,778 --> 01:09:45,014
you're taking home some souvenirs.

1117
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:47,249
[Graves] You may be going home
without an MCL.

1118
01:09:47,316 --> 01:09:50,786
Here comes Tyler Bate,
perhaps pound for pound

1119
01:09:50,853 --> 01:09:53,322
the strongest competitor in WWE.

1120
01:09:53,389 --> 01:09:55,791
An absolute powerhouse.

1121
01:09:55,858 --> 01:09:58,060
[Wade] Veteran at just 26,

1122
01:09:58,127 --> 01:10:01,263
truly is the baby-faced assassin
here on SmackDown.

1123
01:10:01,330 --> 01:10:06,268
[Graves] Around we go,
a purveyor of British Strong Style

1124
01:10:06,335 --> 01:10:08,504
representing the New Catch Republic,

1125
01:10:08,571 --> 01:10:12,408
Tyler Bate now teeing off
on both members of Pretty Deadly.

1126
01:10:13,242 --> 01:10:15,511
[Wade] Like an express train.

1127
01:10:15,578 --> 01:10:18,214
Simply no room to hide for Pretty Deadly.

1128
01:10:19,148 --> 01:10:23,018
[Graves] Look at this power.
Picked out of midair.

1129
01:10:24,787 --> 01:10:27,790
-[Wade] 230-pound Kit Wilson…
-[Graves] Launched!

1130
01:10:31,627 --> 01:10:34,363
Standing shooting star press by Bate.

1131
01:10:34,430 --> 01:10:36,999
[Wade] Bate can simply
do it all in that ring

1132
01:10:37,066 --> 01:10:39,101
as we are getting to witness.

1133
01:10:41,203 --> 01:10:45,574
[Graves] And around and around
we go in an airplane spin.

1134
01:10:48,444 --> 01:10:51,180
Elton Prince in all types of trouble.

1135
01:10:55,351 --> 01:10:58,087
Wade, what if anything is going
through Elton's mind right now?

1136
01:10:58,153 --> 01:10:59,822
[Wade] I don't know,
I had to stop watching.

1137
01:10:59,888 --> 01:11:01,190
I was getting dizzy.

1138
01:11:04,126 --> 01:11:07,229
[Graves] Pete Dunne
and Tyler Bate in control,

1139
01:11:07,296 --> 01:11:09,632
albeit a bit dizzy at the moment.

1140
01:11:13,502 --> 01:11:15,604
[Graves] We are live from the FedExForum.

1141
01:11:15,671 --> 01:11:17,539
It is sold-out tonight in Memphis

1142
01:11:17,606 --> 01:11:21,577
as we watch a WrestleMania
Championship Qualifying Match.

1143
01:11:21,644 --> 01:11:24,947
The New Catch Republic
versus Pretty Deadly.

1144
01:11:25,014 --> 01:11:27,549
Earlier in the night,
we saw Angel and Humberto

1145
01:11:27,616 --> 01:11:29,852
of Legado Del Fantasma

1146
01:11:29,918 --> 01:11:32,488
advance to the next round of bracket one.

1147
01:11:32,554 --> 01:11:34,690
Which of these duos will join them?

1148
01:11:34,757 --> 01:11:36,358
[Wade] The Big Strong Boi

1149
01:11:36,425 --> 01:11:38,727
desperately trying to
turn this match around

1150
01:11:38,794 --> 01:11:40,596
for the New Catch Republic.

1151
01:11:40,663 --> 01:11:42,765
Well, this might do it!

1152
01:11:42,831 --> 01:11:46,302
[Graves] Big Strong Boi
is not just a nickname,

1153
01:11:46,368 --> 01:11:48,937
it's a way of life for Tyler Bate

1154
01:11:49,004 --> 01:11:51,240
who needs to make a tag
to The Bruiserweight.

1155
01:11:51,307 --> 01:11:53,075
[Wade] A fired-up Pete Dunne.

1156
01:11:53,142 --> 01:11:57,179
-[Graves] Here comes Elton.
-[Wade] Ready to explode!

1157
01:11:57,946 --> 01:12:00,416
[Graves] Step-up enzuigiri by Dunne.

1158
01:12:00,482 --> 01:12:04,720
The Bruiserweight is on a roll.
Big right hand.

1159
01:12:04,787 --> 01:12:09,058
[Wade] Completely unleashed.
Attacking anything that moves.

1160
01:12:12,795 --> 01:12:14,997
Look at… this on the apron.

1161
01:12:16,298 --> 01:12:19,134
[Wade] About the worst situation
Pretty Deadly

1162
01:12:19,201 --> 01:12:21,804
could find themselves in at this point
in a matchup.

1163
01:12:21,870 --> 01:12:23,539
[Graves] Snap German suplex.

1164
01:12:23,605 --> 01:12:25,941
[Wade] A fresh and angry Pete Dunne.

1165
01:12:26,008 --> 01:12:29,178
[Graves] And directly
into the armbar, Elton's gonna tap.

1166
01:12:29,244 --> 01:12:30,946
Elton is gonna tap out.

1167
01:12:31,013 --> 01:12:33,582
Pete Dunne looking to force
the submission.

1168
01:12:33,649 --> 01:12:36,218
[Wade] Just unreal tekkers
from Pete Dunne.

1169
01:12:36,285 --> 01:12:38,087
[Graves] Reversal!

1170
01:12:38,153 --> 01:12:40,989
Great wherewithal shown by Elton. Ooh!

1171
01:12:41,056 --> 01:12:43,792
[Wade] Desperately trying
to weave his way out of the hole.

1172
01:12:43,859 --> 01:12:45,594
Managed a pin.

1173
01:12:45,661 --> 01:12:49,932
[Graves] Tag made, Tyler Bate now legal
for the New Catch Republic.

1174
01:12:49,998 --> 01:12:51,700
[Wade] Bate caught his breath.

1175
01:12:51,767 --> 01:12:55,871
Top bends!
You like a bit of that, right, Corey?

1176
01:12:55,938 --> 01:12:59,341
[Graves] A big football guy these days.
I watched most of a match on Saturday.

1177
01:12:59,408 --> 01:13:03,045
-[Wade] Happy you didn't call--
-[Graves] Boom! That's gonna do it.

1178
01:13:03,112 --> 01:13:04,313
Stacks up Prince.

1179
01:13:05,013 --> 01:13:08,083
And Kit Wilson
keeps it alive for Pretty Deadly.

1180
01:13:08,150 --> 01:13:10,452
[Wade] Yeah, that was
a mad scramble from Kit Wilson

1181
01:13:10,519 --> 01:13:12,755
trying to keep his
WrestleMania dreams alive,

1182
01:13:12,821 --> 01:13:14,823
but for how much longer?

1183
01:13:14,890 --> 01:13:17,226
Has to be looking bleak.

1184
01:13:18,627 --> 01:13:20,596
Great bounce back ability.

1185
01:13:22,698 --> 01:13:25,634
[Graves] Bate connects with
a flying European uppercut.

1186
01:13:27,936 --> 01:13:31,306
Oh! And a boot right in the face.

1187
01:13:31,373 --> 01:13:35,244
[Wade] Yeah, a lot of people write off
Pretty Deadly because of how they look.

1188
01:13:35,310 --> 01:13:37,012
That is simply toxic masculinity.

1189
01:13:37,079 --> 01:13:40,282
These boys are the real deal.

1190
01:13:44,987 --> 01:13:48,357
[Graves] From the second rope.
Down goes Bate.

1191
01:13:48,424 --> 01:13:52,060
That may do it.
Pretty Deadly looking to advance.

1192
01:13:53,595 --> 01:13:55,664
And Tyler Bate kicks out.

1193
01:13:55,731 --> 01:13:58,967
[Wade] I have no idea how Tyler Bate

1194
01:13:59,034 --> 01:14:02,171
managed to keep ticking
after that elevated bulldog

1195
01:14:02,237 --> 01:14:04,940
connected flush on his forehead.

1196
01:14:05,007 --> 01:14:07,109
[Graves] Expert level teamwork
by Pretty Deadly,

1197
01:14:07,176 --> 01:14:09,478
but Bate out of the way,
connects with the left.

1198
01:14:10,712 --> 01:14:14,149
Tag made to The Bruiserweight
on the outside.

1199
01:14:15,083 --> 01:14:17,219
Perhaps unbeknownst to poor Elton.

1200
01:14:18,353 --> 01:14:19,955
It's that time.

1201
01:14:21,723 --> 01:14:23,091
Burning Hammer!

1202
01:14:24,860 --> 01:14:27,229
One! Two! Three!

1203
01:14:27,296 --> 01:14:29,765
-[bell rings]
-[Graves] And New Catch Republic advance.

1204
01:14:29,832 --> 01:14:31,400
[def rebel's "Walk Of Life" playing]

1205
01:14:31,467 --> 01:14:35,771
[announcer] Here are your winners,
New Catch Republic.

1206
01:14:37,239 --> 01:14:41,743
[Graves] Dunne and Bate
will advance in bracket one

1207
01:14:41,810 --> 01:14:45,414
of the WrestleMania Championship
Qualifying Tournament

1208
01:14:45,481 --> 01:14:47,249
bracket number one.

1209
01:14:47,316 --> 01:14:49,685
Legado Del Fantasma

1210
01:14:49,751 --> 01:14:52,287
will meet the New Catch Republic.

1211
01:14:52,354 --> 01:14:56,825
The winners of that match
head to the grandest stage of them all

1212
01:14:56,892 --> 01:14:59,795
in a 6-Pack Ladder Match Challenge.

1213
01:15:01,063 --> 01:15:04,466
-Bad News, I got a question for you.
-[Wade] Go ahead.

1214
01:15:04,533 --> 01:15:07,536
[Graves] Have you acknowledged
your Tribal Chief today?

1215
01:15:07,603 --> 01:15:09,938
-[Wade] Yep. Every day. Every morning.
-[Roman speaking]

1216
01:15:10,005 --> 01:15:13,542
[Graves] Over the last week,
major sports teams around the world

1217
01:15:13,609 --> 01:15:16,178
have jumped on the trend
and taken to TikTok

1218
01:15:16,245 --> 01:15:18,680
to acknowledge Roman Reigns.

1219
01:15:18,747 --> 01:15:22,084
We're talking about the Brooklyn Nets,
the New York Jets,

1220
01:15:22,150 --> 01:15:25,287
Man U, and so many more.

1221
01:15:25,354 --> 01:15:28,991
All showing support and paying respect

1222
01:15:29,057 --> 01:15:32,628
to our Universal Heavyweight Champion.

1223
01:15:32,694 --> 01:15:35,797
[Wade] I think Preston North End did too,
but I didn't see that make the cut.

1224
01:15:35,864 --> 01:15:37,532
I'll have words about that.

1225
01:15:37,599 --> 01:15:40,335
But we want to acknowledge
some really cool signs

1226
01:15:40,402 --> 01:15:42,671
in our audience in Memphis tonight.

1227
01:15:42,738 --> 01:15:46,141
If WWE is going to be in your
hometown soon,

1228
01:15:46,208 --> 01:15:50,379
do your worst and you may get featured
on the show just like these guys.

1229
01:15:50,445 --> 01:15:54,049
[Graves] Well, Milwaukee, get ready.
We're headed your way next week.

1230
01:15:54,116 --> 01:15:56,451
Show us what you got,

1231
01:15:56,518 --> 01:16:02,391
bring your best signs and you can
share a moment with the WWE Universe.

1232
01:16:02,457 --> 01:16:04,826
But the final moments are ticking away.

1233
01:16:04,893 --> 01:16:06,828
The time has arrived.

1234
01:16:06,895 --> 01:16:09,364
The founder of Damage CTRL, Bayley,

1235
01:16:09,431 --> 01:16:12,501
versus the woman who betrayed her,
Dakota Kai,

1236
01:16:12,568 --> 01:16:14,503
in our main event, next.

1237
01:16:18,340 --> 01:16:21,810
[Graves] Chicago. Cue up the living color,

1238
01:16:21,877 --> 01:16:25,414
because for the very first
time since his shocking return

1239
01:16:25,480 --> 01:16:27,983
to WWE at Survivor Series,

1240
01:16:28,050 --> 01:16:31,019
The Second City Saint himself,

1241
01:16:31,086 --> 01:16:35,157
CM Punk returns to Monday Night Raw

1242
01:16:35,223 --> 01:16:38,026
in Chicago, March 25th.

1243
01:16:38,093 --> 01:16:40,195
There are limited tickets available.

1244
01:16:40,262 --> 01:16:43,398
Make sure you get them now.
They won't last long.

1245
01:16:43,465 --> 01:16:45,901
[Wade] Yeah, that's can't-miss,
but back to the blue brand,

1246
01:16:45,968 --> 01:16:48,737
it is official. The leader of the LWO

1247
01:16:48,804 --> 01:16:51,940
goes one-on-one
with The Emperor of Lucha Libre,

1248
01:16:52,007 --> 01:16:55,477
Mysterio, Escobar, next week on SmackDown.

1249
01:16:55,544 --> 01:16:58,080
[Graves] Tonight, bracket number one
began to unfold.

1250
01:16:58,146 --> 01:17:00,215
Next week, it's bracket number two.

1251
01:17:00,282 --> 01:17:03,218
The Street Profits
battle The Authors of Pain,

1252
01:17:03,285 --> 01:17:06,154
and The O.C.
will square off against the duo

1253
01:17:06,221 --> 01:17:08,690
of Grayson Waller and Austin Theory

1254
01:17:08,757 --> 01:17:10,959
in Tag Team Championship qualifiers.

1255
01:17:11,026 --> 01:17:13,962
[Wade] And if it couldn't get any bigger
ahead of their matchups

1256
01:17:14,029 --> 01:17:16,598
on WrestleMania Saturday and Sunday,

1257
01:17:16,665 --> 01:17:19,167
The American Nightmare
and The Tribal Chief

1258
01:17:19,234 --> 01:17:23,805
will be here and face to face
next week on SmackDown.

1259
01:17:23,872 --> 01:17:27,075
Roman, Cody, what could possibly go wrong?

1260
01:17:27,142 --> 01:17:30,012

1262
01:17:40,055 --> 01:17:43,859
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1263
01:17:43,925 --> 01:17:47,996
Introducing first
from San Jose, California,

1264
01:17:48,063 --> 01:17:52,367
Bayley!

1265
01:17:52,434 --> 01:17:56,838
[Graves] The winner of the 2024
Women's Royal Rumble Match,

1266
01:17:56,905 --> 01:17:59,474
Bayley, needs to shift her focus,

1267
01:17:59,541 --> 01:18:04,346
not to WrestleMania,
but on the task at hand tonight.

1268
01:18:09,718 --> 01:18:11,853
[Graves] But speaking of WrestleMania,

1269
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:15,223
WrestleMania XL is sponsored by Snickers.

1270
01:18:15,290 --> 01:18:17,192
Snickers satisfies.

1271
01:18:17,259 --> 01:18:20,095
And by WWE 2K24,

1272
01:18:20,162 --> 01:18:24,466
the highest rated WWE 2K game of all time.

1273
01:18:24,533 --> 01:18:26,768

01:18:33,141 --> 01:18:36,278
that's right, 200 Superstars and Legends,

available now, worldwide.

1278
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:41,783
Wade, a moment ago you asked
what could possibly go wrong?

1279
01:18:41,850 --> 01:18:46,221
Bayley has got to be asking herself,
"How did it go so wrong?"

1280
01:18:46,288 --> 01:18:51,593
[Wade] Yeah, and I'm going to dig
into that a little later on

1281
01:18:52,394 --> 01:18:55,464
because I've been having
some thoughts about Bayley.

1282
01:18:55,530 --> 01:18:58,166
[def rebel's "Still The Baddest" playing]

1283
01:19:01,403 --> 01:19:03,739
[announcer] And her opponent, accompanied

1284
01:19:03,805 --> 01:19:07,976
by the WWE Women's Tag Team
Champions, The Kabuki Warriors,

1285
01:19:08,043 --> 01:19:11,980
and the WWE Women's Champion, Iyo Sky,

1286
01:19:12,047 --> 01:19:14,750
representing Damage CTRL,

1287
01:19:14,816 --> 01:19:17,586
Dakota Kai!

1288
01:19:17,652 --> 01:19:20,322
[Graves] And, Wade, I'm sure you have
plenty of thoughts about Bayley,

1289
01:19:20,388 --> 01:19:24,326
but you and I were both absolutely
disgusted and dismayed

1290
01:19:24,392 --> 01:19:26,928
when Dakota Kai turned her back

1291
01:19:26,995 --> 01:19:28,997
and plunged the final dagger

1292
01:19:29,064 --> 01:19:31,833
into the back of her longtime
friend and leader, Bayley.

1293
01:19:31,900 --> 01:19:35,337
[Wade] Yeah, but on my part,
that was a rash decision from me,

1294
01:19:35,403 --> 01:19:38,440
and I was completely wrong.
Listen, I've given it some thought.

1295
01:19:38,507 --> 01:19:41,076
If you have a group of five people,

1296
01:19:41,143 --> 01:19:44,913
and four of those five people
unanimously agree

1297
01:19:44,980 --> 01:19:48,650
that the fifth member
is a complete pain in the backside

1298
01:19:48,717 --> 01:19:51,386
and needs booting out of the group,

1299
01:19:51,453 --> 01:19:55,524
then I'm inclined to think
the four probably have a point.

1300
01:19:55,590 --> 01:19:59,060
[Grave] You're trying to blame Bayley
for the disintegration of Damage CTRL?

1301
01:19:59,127 --> 01:20:01,263
Look at this, Bayley,
right out of the gate.

1302
01:20:01,329 --> 01:20:05,133
Emotions are at an all-time high,
bringing the fight to Dakota Kai.

1303
01:20:06,868 --> 01:20:10,071
Bayley outnumbered on the outside
but looking absolutely fearless.

1304
01:20:10,906 --> 01:20:12,541
[Wade] Yeah, that is not smart.

1305
01:20:12,607 --> 01:20:14,442
These are four dangerous ladies.

1306
01:20:14,509 --> 01:20:16,711
And that is what's waiting for you.

1307
01:20:16,778 --> 01:20:18,313
[crowd chanting] Whoop that trick!

1308
01:20:18,380 --> 01:20:22,050
[Graves] Look at the intensity
in the eyes of Bayley…

1309
01:20:22,784 --> 01:20:25,387
woman-handling Dakota Kai.

1310
01:20:25,453 --> 01:20:28,623
[Wade] Trick Williams from NXT
must be loving this crowd tonight.

1311
01:20:28,690 --> 01:20:30,759
That's two chants for him.

1312
01:20:32,627 --> 01:20:34,896
He's Memphis Grizzlies fan
apparently as well.

1313
01:20:35,864 --> 01:20:40,168
[Graves] Look at Bayley just teeing off
on Dakota Kai in the bottom turnbuckle.

1314
01:20:40,235 --> 01:20:41,670
Here we see… Uh-oh.

1315
01:20:43,305 --> 01:20:45,840
Kairi Sane of The Kabuki Warriors,

1316
01:20:45,907 --> 01:20:48,877
one half of the WWE Women's
Tag Team Champions,

1317
01:20:48,944 --> 01:20:51,680
caused the distraction just long enough.

1318
01:20:51,746 --> 01:20:54,616
[Wade] This is a Dakota Kai who,
as talented as she is,

1319
01:20:54,683 --> 01:20:56,184
as experienced as she is,

1320
01:20:56,251 --> 01:20:59,754
she's simply not been in competition
for the past six-plus months

1321
01:20:59,821 --> 01:21:03,725
after sustaining a horrific knee injury.

1322
01:21:03,792 --> 01:21:07,095
Bayley in complete control here.
Can she continue?

1323
01:21:11,967 --> 01:21:14,402
[Graves] This is Friday Night SmackDown
on Fox,

1324
01:21:14,469 --> 01:21:15,971
a sold-out FedExForum.

1325
01:21:16,037 --> 01:21:19,774
14,173 fans

1326
01:21:19,841 --> 01:21:22,811
watching Bayley go one-on-one
with Dakota Kai,

1327
01:21:22,878 --> 01:21:25,513
a woman who betrayed her just weeks ago.

1328
01:21:25,580 --> 01:21:27,148
Shoulders down.

1329
01:21:29,117 --> 01:21:32,320
Bayley just rocked Dakota
with a running knee.

1330
01:21:32,387 --> 01:21:37,993
[Wade] The former leader of Damage CTRL
is getting holes burned into her skin

1331
01:21:38,059 --> 01:21:42,464
by the eyes of the remaining members
of Damage CTRL at ringside,

1332
01:21:42,530 --> 01:21:46,501
who arguably have Bayley to thank
for having the gold around their waist.

1333
01:21:46,568 --> 01:21:49,771
[Graves]
Arguments certainly could be made,

1334
01:21:49,838 --> 01:21:52,040
but at WrestleMania,
Bayley will challenge…

1335
01:21:52,107 --> 01:21:53,775
Oh my goodness.

1336
01:21:53,842 --> 01:21:56,044

Now, now, Wade,
on the Road to WrestleMania.

1339
01:22:00,849 --> 01:22:02,984
Three weeks from tomorrow,

1340
01:22:03,051 --> 01:22:04,653
WrestleMania Weekend begins.

1341
01:22:04,719 --> 01:22:07,322
If you're Bayley, and you have
the opportunity of a lifetime,

1342
01:22:07,389 --> 01:22:09,391
a title match on the grandest
stage of them all,

1343
01:22:09,457 --> 01:22:11,359
how risky is it to put yourself

1344
01:22:11,426 --> 01:22:13,561
in the path of Damage CTRL
on the way there?

1345
01:22:13,628 --> 01:22:16,231
[Wade] Simply not smart at all.
You need to wrap yourself up…

[Wade] …in cotton wool
until that big moment at WrestleMania,

1348
01:22:21,903 --> 01:22:25,640
when you get the fruits of your victory
in the Royal Rumble.

1349
01:22:25,707 --> 01:22:28,810
And quite simply,
this is all playing into the hands

1350
01:22:28,877 --> 01:22:30,946
of Iyo Sky ahead of that matchup.

1351
01:22:31,012 --> 01:22:33,515
-Oh!
-[Graves] My goodness.

1352
01:22:33,581 --> 01:22:35,817
Dakota connected face-first
with the canvas

1353
01:22:35,884 --> 01:22:38,586
on that desperation move by Bayley,

1354
01:22:38,653 --> 01:22:40,855
who needs to find a way to rally.

1355
01:22:40,922 --> 01:22:44,592
[Wade] Yeah, carefully keeping an eye
on the remaining members of Damage CTRL.

1356
01:22:44,659 --> 01:22:46,928
But that momentary lapse from Bayley

1357
01:22:46,995 --> 01:22:51,132
is all that Dakota Kai required

1358
01:22:51,199 --> 01:22:53,001
for that swift boot to the temple.

1359
01:22:53,068 --> 01:22:56,004
[Graves] Dakota Kai now joining Bayley
in the high rent district.

1360
01:22:56,071 --> 01:22:58,206
Precarious position for both Superstars.

1361
01:22:58,273 --> 01:23:01,176
Bayley doing her best to fight
out of the grasp.

1362
01:23:01,242 --> 01:23:03,378
And down goes Dakota Kai.

1363
01:23:05,714 --> 01:23:09,250
Bayley trying to steady herself
on the top turnbuckle.

1364
01:23:09,317 --> 01:23:11,753
Flying elbow drop right to the heart!

1365
01:23:11,820 --> 01:23:13,521
Cover here…

1366
01:23:14,289 --> 01:23:16,191
And Dakota escapes.

1367
01:23:16,257 --> 01:23:19,327
How cathartic would a win here
tonight be for Bayley,

1368
01:23:19,394 --> 01:23:22,530
the betrayed former leader
of Damage CTRL, Wade?

1369
01:23:22,597 --> 01:23:24,966
[Wade] Another look at the impact

1370
01:23:25,033 --> 01:23:28,603
and the kinetic energy
as Bayley connected.

1371
01:23:28,670 --> 01:23:30,805
But it wasn't quite enough
to put away Dakota Kai.

1372
01:23:30,872 --> 01:23:34,376
But you're right, Corey. A victory here
would be huge for Bayley,

1373
01:23:34,442 --> 01:23:38,913
but simply getting out of this matchup
without any form of injury

1374
01:23:38,980 --> 01:23:41,049
ahead of WrestleMania
would be even bigger.

1375
01:23:41,116 --> 01:23:43,218
And that is looking less and less likely.

1376
01:23:43,284 --> 01:23:47,188
[Graves] That overhead kick by Dakota Kai
may have scrambled the brains of Bayley.

1377
01:23:47,255 --> 01:23:50,191
And now Damage CTRL getting involved,

1378
01:23:50,258 --> 01:23:52,560
Kairi Sane again making her presence felt.

1379
01:23:52,627 --> 01:23:54,929
But keep your eyes on King Kota,

1380
01:23:54,996 --> 01:23:57,732
who just kicked the features
off of Bayley's face.

1381
01:23:58,533 --> 01:24:01,102
[Wade] Referee taking a very close
look at Bayley.

1382
01:24:01,169 --> 01:24:03,471
They're concerned about her well-being.

1383
01:24:03,538 --> 01:24:06,174
There is no room to hide, however.

1384
01:24:06,241 --> 01:24:09,511
[Graves] Here we go. Bayley a step ahead.

1385
01:24:09,577 --> 01:24:11,746
Sends Dakota… Powerbomb!

1386
01:24:13,148 --> 01:24:15,483
And now raining down right hands.

1387
01:24:15,550 --> 01:24:18,653
Bayley potentially with an opportunity
to cover and end this.

1388
01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:22,957
But this issue is so personal,
and Iyo from behind.

1389
01:24:24,592 --> 01:24:26,861
Here comes Asuka. There goes Kairi.

1390
01:24:26,928 --> 01:24:30,231
[indistinct yelling]

1391
01:24:33,401 --> 01:24:36,204
[Wade] We might not have to wait
till WrestleMania.

1392
01:24:36,271 --> 01:24:38,706
-[Graves] A WrestleMania appetizer.
-[Wade] There you go.

1393
01:24:38,773 --> 01:24:41,042
[Graves] And this is gonna
force a disqualification.

1394
01:24:41,109 --> 01:24:43,411
-Bayley had to know this was coming.
-[bell rings]

1395
01:24:43,478 --> 01:24:44,546
[crowd boos]

1396
01:24:44,612 --> 01:24:47,248
[Wade] Just an air of inevitability.

1397
01:24:50,618 --> 01:24:52,821
[Graves] I think it's safe to say
Damage CTRL

1398
01:24:52,887 --> 01:24:56,157
wants to take Bayley out
before we get to Philadelphia.

1399
01:24:56,224 --> 01:24:57,425
[crowd cheers]

1400
01:24:57,492 --> 01:24:59,260
And here comes Naomi!

1401
01:25:02,163 --> 01:25:07,502
[Wade] Naomi looking to even the odds,
but it is a tall order against this unit.

1402
01:25:07,569 --> 01:25:09,370
[Graves] Kairi gets spiked.

1403
01:25:12,407 --> 01:25:14,442
Asuka stopped in her tracks.

1404
01:25:14,509 --> 01:25:18,513
[Wade] Damage CTRL, feeling the glow,
and they don't like it!

1405
01:25:18,580 --> 01:25:23,284
But the Genius of the Sky
changed the game in an instant there.

1406
01:25:23,351 --> 01:25:28,656
[Graves] The numbers game yet again.
Classic Damage CTRL strategy.

1407
01:25:29,491 --> 01:25:33,528
And yet again, Bayley finds herself
on the wrong side of a beatdown.

1408
01:25:33,595 --> 01:25:37,265
[Wade] Bayley and Naomi
simply didn't have the woman-power

1409
01:25:37,332 --> 01:25:40,335
to contend with Damage CTRL.

1410
01:25:40,401 --> 01:25:44,506
And now the Genius of the Sky
is plotting something.

1411
01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:47,909
[Graves] Over The Moonsault!

1412
01:25:47,976 --> 01:25:50,245
[Wade] Connecting to the face of Bayley.

1413
01:25:50,311 --> 01:25:51,880
[crowd boos]

1414
01:25:52,647 --> 01:25:56,384
[Graves] Well, Bayley may have
a title opportunity at WrestleMania,

1415
01:25:56,451 --> 01:26:00,788
but Damage CTRL is gonna make sure
she doesn't make it at all.

1416
01:26:00,855 --> 01:26:03,258
[crowd booing loudly]
na make sure
she doesn't make it at all.
