in the WWE since...

00:02:41,027 --> 00:02:43,897
June, Clash at the Castle,

36
00:02:45,198 --> 00:02:46,666
when AJ Styles

37
00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:50,069
took on Cody Rhodes in an I Quit Match

38
00:02:51,471 --> 00:02:53,806
for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

39
00:02:53,873 --> 00:02:58,144
And, Corey, AJ Styles told me
in the days leading up to that match

40
00:02:58,211 --> 00:03:01,447
that if he ever had to utter the words
"I quit" to Cody Rhodes

41
00:03:01,514 --> 00:03:04,684
then we may possibly never see him again.

Well, thankfully, that was not the case.

43
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,725
AJ Styles did need to step
away, recalibrate, refocus his game plan

00:12:11,130 --> 00:12:13,566
walk out of here, go down to Broadway,

181
00:12:13,632 --> 00:12:16,368
have a couple of drinks,
and have myself a good night.

182
00:12:16,435 --> 00:12:19,305
[cheering]

183
00:12:23,375 --> 00:12:24,477
Or...

184
00:12:25,711 --> 00:12:27,880
the other choice in this whole thing is,

185
00:12:29,081 --> 00:12:34,520
AJ, it seems like you made
a little challenge here to Carmelo.

186
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:36,255
He wasn't quite ready to take it.

187
00:12:36,322 --> 00:12:39,091
So I'll tell you what,
I'm gonna go ahead and make sure

188
00:12:39,158 --> 00:12:41,560
that you wanna take it, Melo.
Here's what you got.

189
00:12:41,627 --> 00:12:46,232
If you can beat AJ Styles right now,

190
00:12:47,399 --> 00:12:50,202
I'll make a real convincing
case to Nick Aldis

191
00:12:50,269 --> 00:12:53,973
that you can get the shot
that you so hardly think you deserve

192
00:12:54,039 --> 00:12:55,841
at the US Championship.

193
00:12:59,111 --> 00:13:02,214
But I'm going to tell you what.
Regardless, the chances are

194
00:13:02,281 --> 00:13:04,016
you're getting stomped out tonight.

195
00:13:04,083 --> 00:13:06,852
I'm still going out to Broadway
and having those sips.

196
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:08,621
And when it's all said and done--

197
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,993
when it's all said and done,
after AJ stomps you,

198
00:13:14,059 --> 00:13:17,696
I'll tell you what
you're still gonna hear everybody saying.

199
00:13:17,763 --> 00:13:19,064
[crowd] LA Knight!

200
00:13:19,131 --> 00:13:20,065
Yeah!

201
00:13:20,132 --> 00:13:21,734
Yeah!

202
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,602
Now, give me a referee out of here.

203
00:13:23,669 --> 00:13:25,037
And let's get this done!

204
00:13:25,538 --> 00:13:28,307
[Cole] What an
opportunity for Carmelo Hayes.

205
00:13:28,374 --> 00:13:32,044
He may not look happy, Corey, but
if he can somehow pick up a win,

206
00:13:32,111 --> 00:13:35,514
if this match does indeed happen
over AJ Styles may earn himself

207
00:13:35,581 --> 00:13:36,949
a Championship opportunity.

208
00:13:37,016 --> 00:13:38,818
[Corey] It is a very, very big if.

209
00:13:38,884 --> 00:13:42,354
But we have an official,
Charles Robinson is in the ring.

210
00:13:42,421 --> 00:13:44,456
Styles and Hayes next.

211
00:13:46,926 --> 00:13:49,895
[dinging]

212
00:13:51,197 --> 00:13:52,598
[engine roaring]

213
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,736
[siren wailing]

214
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:02,741
[tires screeching]

215
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:10,115
[supercar zooming]

216
00:14:11,150 --> 00:14:12,184
[bell ringing]

217
00:14:12,251 --> 00:14:14,853
[Cole] And we are back
live on Friday Night SmackDown

218
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,854
from Nashville.

219
00:14:15,921 --> 00:14:20,359
AJ Styles in his return to a WWE
ring for the first time since June

220
00:14:20,426 --> 00:14:22,294
against the upstart, Carmelo Hayes.

221
00:14:22,361 --> 00:14:25,097
The United States Champion,
LA Knight, is at ringside.

222
00:14:25,164 --> 00:14:28,000
This is what's at stake for Hayes,
Corey. Knockoff Styles,

223
00:14:28,067 --> 00:14:30,669
LA Knight says he's gonna talk
to the General Manager

224
00:14:30,736 --> 00:14:33,639
to give Carmelo Hayes
the United States Championship match.

225
00:14:33,706 --> 00:14:37,376
[Corey] Leave it to the Megastar,
LA Knight, to sweeten the pot even more,

226
00:14:37,443 --> 00:14:38,744
as though it needed to be.

227
00:14:38,811 --> 00:14:41,647
This is Carmelo Hayes, one
on one with one of the greatest

228
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:44,350
to ever step foot in a ring,
the phenomenal AJ Styles.

229
00:14:44,416 --> 00:14:46,552
What Carmelo Hayes could do tonight

230
00:14:46,619 --> 00:14:49,455
could make all the difference
in his career,

231
00:14:49,521 --> 00:14:52,791
knocking off a surefire future
Hall of Famer like Styles

232
00:14:52,858 --> 00:14:56,362
on AJ's first night back,
that is a massive potential feather

233
00:14:56,428 --> 00:14:57,830
in the cap of Carmelo Hayes.

234
00:14:57,896 --> 00:15:00,032
[Cole]
Carmelo Hayes, tied three wins apiece

235
00:15:00,099 --> 00:15:03,502
in his big battle against Andrade,
taking the fight now to AJ Styles,

236
00:15:03,569 --> 00:15:05,237
the former two-time WWE Champion.

237
00:15:05,304 --> 00:15:07,506
[Corey]
Let's put the shoe on the other foot.

238
00:15:07,573 --> 00:15:10,676
You'd have to imagine AJ Styles,
freshly back to SmackDown,

239
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:11,977
would love an opportunity

240
00:15:12,044 --> 00:15:15,581
to become United States Champion
yet again, particularly at the expense

241
00:15:15,648 --> 00:15:18,484
of the man who defeated him
at WrestleMania, LA Knight.

242
00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:20,052
[Cole] Speaking of Championships,

243
00:15:20,119 --> 00:15:22,688
you have to wonder, Corey,
what Carmelo Hayes thinks

244
00:15:22,755 --> 00:15:24,857
about his old running buddy Trick Williams

245
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:27,092
winning the NXT Championship
over Ethan Page

246
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:29,895
on the debut of NXT
on the CW this past Tuesday night.

247
00:15:29,962 --> 00:15:32,131
[Corey]
Congratulations to everybody in NXT.

248
00:15:32,197 --> 00:15:34,700
An unbelievable night
we all got to enjoy together.

249
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:37,870
-Right now, Carmelo, Hayes.
-[Cole] Dropkick by Styles.

250
00:15:38,504 --> 00:15:42,474
AJ Styles and Nashville have had
a love affair over the years.

251
00:15:42,541 --> 00:15:44,576
It was back all the way in the year 2000,

252
00:15:44,643 --> 00:15:47,146
Corey, where AJ Styles debuted

253
00:15:47,212 --> 00:15:50,382
in this city as part
of the NWA anniversary show.

254
00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:54,086
He won a TNA-X title here,
an NWA Championship here,

255
00:15:54,153 --> 00:15:55,821
tag team titles here as well.

256
00:15:55,888 --> 00:15:58,557
AJ Styles loves wrestling in Nashville.

257
00:15:58,624 --> 00:16:00,059
[Corey] I was in the building

258
00:16:00,125 --> 00:16:02,528
the very first night
they were here in Nashville.

259
00:16:02,594 --> 00:16:05,898
But Carmelo Hayes now has
an opportunity to really separate himself

260
00:16:05,964 --> 00:16:06,966
from the pack.

261
00:16:07,032 --> 00:16:10,269
We talked a lot over recent
weeks between Hayes and Andrade

262
00:16:10,336 --> 00:16:12,237
and how crowded the middle of the card

263
00:16:12,304 --> 00:16:14,640
is right now, particularly
potential challengers

264
00:16:14,707 --> 00:16:16,141
for LA Knight's Championship.

265
00:16:16,208 --> 00:16:19,111
A win tonight would definitely do that
for Carmelo Hayes.

266
00:16:19,178 --> 00:16:20,946
[Cole] Well, you mentioned AJ Styles.

267
00:16:21,013 --> 00:16:24,683
He's a former three-time
United States Champion in his own right.

268
00:16:25,984 --> 00:16:28,020
[Corey] And AJ Styles has enough respect

269
00:16:28,087 --> 00:16:29,121
for this industry.

270
00:16:29,188 --> 00:16:32,624
AJ knows he's got to climb
his way back up the ladder.

271
00:16:32,691 --> 00:16:35,361
AJ doesn't expect
to just walk in the door and receive

272
00:16:35,427 --> 00:16:37,162
a WWE Championship opportunity.

273
00:16:37,229 --> 00:16:38,664
AJ knows that the car--

274
00:16:38,731 --> 00:16:39,732
Whoa, look out.

275
00:16:39,798 --> 00:16:43,402
[Cole] Styles, and Carmelo Hayes!

276
00:16:43,469 --> 00:16:45,971
[Corey] My, God. Cover by Hayes.

277
00:16:46,472 --> 00:16:51,143
[Cole] Styles kicks-out. But what a move
by the uber athletic Carmelo Hayes.

278
00:16:51,210 --> 00:16:53,312
[Corey]
What I was in the process of saying

279
00:16:53,379 --> 00:16:55,581
is AJ realizes
that the landscape has changed

280
00:16:55,647 --> 00:16:57,583
just in the few months AJ's been away.

281
00:16:57,649 --> 00:16:59,518
Carmelo Hayes wants to bear the flag.

282
00:16:59,585 --> 00:17:02,654
-Cover here by Hayes.
-[Cole] Floats into the cover and Styles

283
00:17:02,721 --> 00:17:03,756
gets the shoulder up.

284
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:06,925
Now, AJ Styles, he has had
some in-ring action over the summer,

285
00:17:06,992 --> 00:17:10,796
the much ballyhooed
in a publicity-driven matchup,

286
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,965
of course, in pro wrestling--

287
00:17:13,031 --> 00:17:15,634
Noah, the big matchup there in Japan.

288
00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:18,804
Styles back in action here in WWE.

289
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:20,539
[Corey] Make no mistake about it,

290
00:17:20,606 --> 00:17:22,941
AJ Styles always keeps
his skill set razor sharp,

291
00:17:23,008 --> 00:17:26,011
whether it be here in WWE
or somewhere else around the globe.

292
00:17:26,078 --> 00:17:28,013
My point is, AJ was
able to take a step back

293
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,784
from the madness of WWE
to recalibrate himself,

294
00:17:31,850 --> 00:17:34,586
to find himself,
to let his body heal a little bit.

295
00:17:34,653 --> 00:17:38,190
After 20-plus years in the ring,
you're gonna have some nagging injuries

296
00:17:38,257 --> 00:17:41,293
-no matter how good you are.
-[Cole] And now, he's in the ring

297
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:44,196
with one of the bright,
young Superstars in WWE today.

298
00:17:44,263 --> 00:17:45,831
You may not like his attitude.

299
00:17:46,965 --> 00:17:51,103
Oh! And Styles dropped right in front
of the United States Champion.

300
00:17:52,304 --> 00:17:54,506
Carmelo Hayes in control

301
00:17:55,507 --> 00:17:57,276
as our matchup continues.

302
00:17:59,445 --> 00:18:01,880
[Cole] We are back
live on Friday Night SmackDown.

303
00:18:01,947 --> 00:18:05,751
Now, you notice a half-crab in here
for Carmelo Hayes and AJ Styles.

304
00:18:05,818 --> 00:18:08,987
There is a reason
that Carmelo Hayes is now focused

305
00:18:09,054 --> 00:18:10,823
on the leg of AJ Styles.

306
00:18:10,889 --> 00:18:14,426
During the matchup
before the break, AJ got hurt.

307
00:18:14,493 --> 00:18:16,695
The doctor checked
on him during the break,

308
00:18:16,762 --> 00:18:18,530
checking his left leg and ankle.

309
00:18:18,597 --> 00:18:20,732
Now, as the doc went back
to the ringside area,

310
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:23,936
he told Corey and I
that it's a possible sprained ankle

311
00:18:24,002 --> 00:18:26,605
for AJ Styles in his return tonight.

312
00:18:26,672 --> 00:18:29,374
So Carmelo Hayes focuses
his offense now on the leg.

313
00:18:29,441 --> 00:18:32,244
[Corey] this is just terrible happenstance
for AJ Styles.

314
00:18:32,311 --> 00:18:34,513
Just a few minutes
before this matchup began,

315
00:18:34,580 --> 00:18:36,715
you could see how much
offense AJ took to Carmelo

316
00:18:37,049 --> 00:18:40,552
calling him a quitter.
Styles would rather drop dead in the ring

317
00:18:40,619 --> 00:18:42,955
than quit in the middle
of a match ever again.

318
00:18:43,021 --> 00:18:44,389
[Cole] Styles having trouble,

319
00:18:44,456 --> 00:18:47,860
of course, bouncing on that leg
but still able to deliver offense

320
00:18:47,926 --> 00:18:49,661
on Carmelo Hayes.

321
00:18:49,728 --> 00:18:52,264
[Corey] AJ Styles,
who looks to reforge his legacy

322
00:18:52,331 --> 00:18:53,832
on Friday Night SmackDown,

323
00:18:53,899 --> 00:18:56,802
as Carmelo Hayes looks
to create his own legacy.

324
00:18:56,869 --> 00:19:00,506
But AJ is in a bad, bad way
on one good leg right now.

325
00:19:00,572 --> 00:19:03,075
[Cole] Styles,
who once held the WWE Championship

326
00:19:03,142 --> 00:19:04,910
for 371 days--

327
00:19:04,977 --> 00:19:08,347
-[Corey] That made it worse!
-...in the back of the neck.

328
00:19:08,413 --> 00:19:09,548
And again, the bad--

329
00:19:09,615 --> 00:19:11,316
[Corey] And that's the worst part.

330
00:19:11,383 --> 00:19:14,086
AJ, at this point,
may be a danger to himself.

331
00:19:14,153 --> 00:19:17,122
AJ went for a maneuver
we have watched him perform hundreds,

332
00:19:17,189 --> 00:19:20,259
if not thousands, of times.
This backbreaker, the neckbreaker,

333
00:19:20,325 --> 00:19:21,727
whatever you wanna call it.

334
00:19:21,793 --> 00:19:24,429
And instead of AJ's leg holding up,
it buckled.

335
00:19:24,496 --> 00:19:26,932
This could be catastrophic
for The Phenomenal One.

336
00:19:26,999 --> 00:19:29,635
[Cole] Charles Robinson
now sending AJ to the corner.

337
00:19:29,835 --> 00:19:33,172
-And Styles is calling for the bell.
-[Corey] And it's unfortunate.

338
00:19:33,238 --> 00:19:34,806
But this is what you gotta do.

339
00:19:34,873 --> 00:19:36,508
[booing]

340
00:19:37,743 --> 00:19:40,212
[Cole] And the doc is
gonna head over to the ring.

341
00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:42,681
Referee Charles Robinson
saying that this matchup

342
00:19:42,748 --> 00:19:45,250
is over after the injury to Styles's leg.

343
00:19:45,617 --> 00:19:48,220
[Corey]
Well, listen, this is the unfortunate

344
00:19:48,287 --> 00:19:49,621
part of our business.

345
00:19:49,688 --> 00:19:50,923
Injuries do happen.

346
00:19:51,390 --> 00:19:53,125
Ring-rust may have played a factor.

347
00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:56,595
We talked about how AJ likes
to keep his skill set razor sharp

348
00:19:56,662 --> 00:20:00,098
at all times. But a layoff is a layoff.

349
00:20:00,165 --> 00:20:04,002
Your body is gonna react differently.
AJ obviously was not in the same shape

350
00:20:04,069 --> 00:20:05,771
he believed he was.

351
00:20:05,837 --> 00:20:09,007
or at least AJ's brain
and his body weren't on the same page.

352
00:20:09,074 --> 00:20:11,577
This is where we're speculating we think

353
00:20:11,643 --> 00:20:14,980
the injury may have occurred.
AJ coming up.

354
00:20:15,047 --> 00:20:17,249
Yeah, that could have been it right there.

355
00:20:17,316 --> 00:20:20,219
Then, this is where everything went South.

356
00:20:20,285 --> 00:20:22,020
AJ unable to support his own weight

357
00:20:22,087 --> 00:20:23,889
to drive Hayes down across.

358
00:20:23,956 --> 00:20:26,959
[Cole] And now, AJ Styles visibly upset.

359
00:20:27,025 --> 00:20:31,763
[Alicia] Ladies and gentlemen,
AJ Styles is no longer able to compete.

360
00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:34,499
Therefore, the winner of the match

361
00:20:34,566 --> 00:20:36,301
-is Carmel--
-[Corey] Wait a minute!

362
00:20:36,368 --> 00:20:39,004
[Cole] LA Knight with a BFT to Hayes,

363
00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:41,273
drops it right on the top of his head!

364
00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:42,941
[cheering]

365
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:48,146
[Corey] Well, LA Knight certainly lifted
morale here in Nashville.

366
00:20:48,213 --> 00:20:51,250
But I don't know if that was necessary.

367
00:20:51,316 --> 00:20:55,053
Carmelo Hayes went toe to toe
with one of the all-time greats,

368
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:57,756
a wild turn of events. But then,

369
00:20:57,823 --> 00:21:00,726
that's what this is all about.
Anything can happen in WWE.

370
00:21:00,792 --> 00:21:02,828
[Cole] Styles could not finish the match.

371
00:21:02,894 --> 00:21:05,797
-Hayes gets the victory.
-...as close as you're about to get.

372
00:21:05,864 --> 00:21:08,867
[Cole] So I guess that means,
if LA Knight keeps his promise,

373
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:12,104
Carmelo Hayes is going to earn himself
a United States Championship opportunity.

374
00:21:12,170 --> 00:21:15,807
One would assume that would be the case.
It's a terrible turn of events.

375
00:21:15,874 --> 00:21:19,077
You hate to see
AJ Styles, go down with an injury.

376
00:21:19,144 --> 00:21:21,580
We'll keep you posted
as updates become available.

377
00:21:21,647 --> 00:21:25,117
Yeah, we'll try to get some updates
from the doctor as soon as we can.

378
00:21:25,183 --> 00:21:29,288
Changing gears now, to what happens
24 hours from now in Hotlanta.

379
00:21:29,354 --> 00:21:30,689
It is Bad Blood.

380
00:21:30,756 --> 00:21:34,259
It is a very special start time
on Peacock of 6:00 Eastern

381
00:21:34,326 --> 00:21:38,864
and 3:00 Pacific in the main event,
the return of Roman Reigns

382
00:21:38,930 --> 00:21:43,035
to a WWE ring in a match
for the first time since WrestleMania,

383
00:21:43,101 --> 00:21:46,538
when he teams up
with his once arch rival, Cody Rhodes,

384
00:21:46,972 --> 00:21:48,206
against The Bloodline.

385
00:21:50,075 --> 00:21:53,245
[dramatic music]

386
00:21:54,813 --> 00:21:56,815
[narrator]
Solo Sikoa has made the challenge

387
00:21:56,882 --> 00:21:58,483
for a tag-team match at Bad Blood.

388
00:21:59,318 --> 00:22:01,219
Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.

389
00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:05,090
Versus Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.

390
00:22:09,127 --> 00:22:11,029
Just tell me what you want.

391
00:22:12,297 --> 00:22:14,266
I want your word

392
00:22:14,933 --> 00:22:17,836
that you will have my back

393
00:22:17,903 --> 00:22:20,372
so that I can have yours.

394
00:22:20,772 --> 00:22:22,140
[Roman] I give you my word.

395
00:22:22,441 --> 00:22:25,310
[Cole]
The Bloodline is gonna tear the meat

396
00:22:25,377 --> 00:22:27,212
off the bones of the Champion!

397
00:22:28,647 --> 00:22:31,917
The OTC is here!

398
00:22:35,654 --> 00:22:37,155
[Roman] I'll have your back.

399
00:22:37,889 --> 00:22:39,391
Just understand this.

400
00:22:39,458 --> 00:22:41,226
When it's all done,

401
00:22:43,061 --> 00:22:44,963
I'm taking it back.

402
00:22:45,997 --> 00:22:47,199
It's mine.

403
00:22:52,704 --> 00:22:55,574
It's not yours to take.

404
00:22:56,007 --> 00:22:59,678
[Cole] Can Cody Rhodes trust Roman Reigns

405
00:22:59,745 --> 00:23:02,514
against Solo and Jacob of The Bloodline?

406
00:23:02,581 --> 00:23:04,449
Cody, you should trust him.

407
00:23:05,117 --> 00:23:07,119
Because you're going to need him.

408
00:23:10,422 --> 00:23:12,624
[Cole] Can Solo Sikoa

409
00:23:13,158 --> 00:23:17,062
make sure there is no question
that he is The Tribal Chief?

410
00:23:17,129 --> 00:23:21,967
Can Roman Reigns come back
and prove that he is the OTC?

411
00:23:22,033 --> 00:23:24,936
Can Cody Rhodes trust Roman Reigns?

412
00:23:25,003 --> 00:23:27,105
We find out tomorrow night at Bad Blood,

413
00:23:27,172 --> 00:23:31,777
a special start time of 6:00 Eastern,
3:00 Pacific on Peacock.

414
00:23:32,477 --> 00:23:36,815
[Corey] Solo and Jacob tomorrow night.
Tonight, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa

415
00:23:37,215 --> 00:23:42,154
defending their WWE
Tag Team Championships against DIY.

416
00:23:42,220 --> 00:23:44,790
Ciampa and Gargano,
two men who have been to the top

417
00:23:44,856 --> 00:23:49,461
of the tag team mountain and tonight
look to return via use of the ladder.

418
00:23:49,528 --> 00:23:51,630
But the Street Profits have the same goal.

419
00:23:51,696 --> 00:23:55,000
Triple Threat Ladder Match
for the tag team gold in the main event.

420
00:23:55,066 --> 00:23:58,303
[Cole]
And here it comes, the dumpster on his way

421
00:23:58,370 --> 00:23:59,371
into the arena.

422
00:23:59,437 --> 00:24:01,940
You know why
garbage collectors are great partners?

423
00:24:02,007 --> 00:24:04,609
-[Corey] Why?
-They always pick up what you drop.

424
00:24:05,210 --> 00:24:10,382
Chelsea may get dropped in the dumpster
versus Michin Dumpster Match next!

425
00:24:10,448 --> 00:24:12,584
[Corey]
The dumpster got an entrance, Cole.

426
00:24:17,756 --> 00:24:18,857
[bell ringing]

427
00:24:19,124 --> 00:24:25,263
[Alicia] The following
contest is a dumpster match!

428
00:24:26,932 --> 00:24:31,937
There are no disqualifications
and no count outs.

429
00:24:32,204 --> 00:24:36,007
The only way to win is
to place your opponent

430
00:24:36,074 --> 00:24:38,777
inside the dumpster

431
00:24:38,844 --> 00:24:43,882
and close the lid!

432
00:24:45,750 --> 00:24:49,554
-[Female narrator] It's Chelsea Green!
-[hype music]

433
00:24:49,621 --> 00:24:52,724
[Corey] You don't think
they could have sanitized the dumpster,

434
00:24:52,791 --> 00:24:54,593
maybe hosed it down, emptied it out?

435
00:24:54,659 --> 00:24:56,761
This is gonna be dangerous and disgusting.

436
00:24:58,396 --> 00:25:01,533
[Cole]
I hope she gets dumped in the dumpster,

437
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:02,834
Chelsea Green.

438
00:25:04,135 --> 00:25:06,738
[Alicia] Introducing first

439
00:25:07,305 --> 00:25:11,076
from Victoria, BC,

440
00:25:11,443 --> 00:25:14,980
[teasing voice] "Chelsea" Green!

441
00:25:15,046 --> 00:25:17,148
[Cole]This woman had the audacity

442
00:25:17,215 --> 00:25:21,386
on social media to name me Michael
The McNasty McNasterson.

443
00:25:21,453 --> 00:25:23,121
[Corey] Yeah. I was gonna use it.

444
00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:25,090
I'm a little ashamed. You disarmed me.

445
00:25:25,156 --> 00:25:27,225
You took the bullets out of my gun, Cole.

446
00:25:27,292 --> 00:25:30,795
I was ready to repeat
ad-nauseam that name.

447
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:34,266
And can we just take a second
to appreciate the trashin'--

448
00:25:34,332 --> 00:25:38,303
not fashion, trashin' being
displayed by Chelsea Green,

449
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:40,539
who, by the way, comes from a long lineage

450
00:25:40,605 --> 00:25:43,875
of sanitation workers in British Columbia,
Michael Cole.

451
00:25:43,942 --> 00:25:46,044
[Cole] Where did you get that information?

452
00:25:46,111 --> 00:25:48,880
[Corey] Chelsea.
She spoke to her Uncle Gene about this.

453
00:25:48,947 --> 00:25:51,616
[Cole] I heard, she was
a descendant of Fred Sanford.

454
00:25:51,683 --> 00:25:54,753
[Corey] Wow. I'm just barely old enough
to get that reference.

455
00:25:57,322 --> 00:26:01,126
[Cole] Don't be trashy.
Keep it classy, Chelsea.

456
00:26:01,192 --> 00:26:02,894
["I am" by Def Rebel]

457
00:26:03,361 --> 00:26:05,230
♪ I am, I am, I am ♪

458
00:26:05,297 --> 00:26:07,098
♪ The one ain't hard to see ♪

459
00:26:07,165 --> 00:26:10,802
[Alicia] And her opponent from Fontana,

460
00:26:10,869 --> 00:26:13,238
California,

461
00:26:13,471 --> 00:26:16,441
Michin.

462
00:26:16,508 --> 00:26:21,780
[Cole] Michin said that I am everything
that Chelsea Green is not.

463
00:26:21,947 --> 00:26:25,650
And now,
you're entering my world, princess.

464
00:26:25,917 --> 00:26:26,918
We go back.

465
00:26:26,985 --> 00:26:27,953
We know each other.

466
00:26:28,019 --> 00:26:30,288
Get ready to be dumped.

467
00:26:30,355 --> 00:26:32,857
Let's show you how this all came about,

468
00:26:32,924 --> 00:26:35,260
this dumpster match idea.

469
00:26:35,327 --> 00:26:37,596
[Corey] Well, on more than one occasion,

470
00:26:37,862 --> 00:26:39,965
Chelsea Green simply felt appropriate--

471
00:26:40,465 --> 00:26:42,767
to remind Michin, that Michin--

472
00:26:43,068 --> 00:26:46,404
is not the caliber of Superstar
that belongs in WWE.

473
00:26:46,471 --> 00:26:47,806
In the opinion of Chelsea Green,

474
00:26:48,139 --> 00:26:50,442
Michin belongs in the alleyway
behind Tootsies.

475
00:26:50,508 --> 00:26:52,077
Chelsea looks to prove that

476
00:26:52,143 --> 00:26:55,614
with perhaps a little assistance
from her friend, Piper Niven.

477
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,351
-[Cole] I've been in that alleyway before.
-I don't even wanna know, Cole.

478
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:04,255
[Cole] But last week, Michin picked
up the win over Piper Niven.

479
00:27:04,322 --> 00:27:07,058
So tonight, it's Michin
and Chelsea in a dumpster match.

480
00:27:07,125 --> 00:27:10,128
All joking aside, this is
a serious situation. Anything goes.

481
00:27:10,195 --> 00:27:12,797
You can use weapons,
like Michin has the Kendo stick.

482
00:27:12,864 --> 00:27:14,699
She gives Chelsea one of her own.

483
00:27:14,766 --> 00:27:16,201
You win by dumping your opponent

484
00:27:16,267 --> 00:27:18,470
in the dumpster
and closing the lid entirely.

485
00:27:18,536 --> 00:27:20,939
[Corey]
Which again is a hazard in and of itself.

486
00:27:21,006 --> 00:27:25,143
It's a dumpster.
It's not some special WWE dumpster.

487
00:27:25,210 --> 00:27:26,311
It's a dumpster.

488
00:27:26,378 --> 00:27:28,313
It's a regulation sanitation dumpster.

489
00:27:28,380 --> 00:27:31,416
Someone's body could be badly injured
utilizing that thing

490
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:32,951
trying to dump someone in it.

491
00:27:33,018 --> 00:27:34,352
[Cole] And we do know this:

492
00:27:34,419 --> 00:27:37,489
Chelsea Green's been doing
some, uh-- some dumpster diving

493
00:27:38,123 --> 00:27:40,959
-as of late.
-[Corey] It's training, Cole

494
00:27:41,026 --> 00:27:41,960
[Cole] Oh, sorry.

495
00:27:42,660 --> 00:27:46,231
She did say that Michin is nasty.

496
00:27:46,297 --> 00:27:49,501
She's slimy. She's trashy. And she stinks.

497
00:27:49,768 --> 00:27:51,503
And she calls Michin a bully.

498
00:27:52,837 --> 00:27:54,139
[Corey] I mean, right now,

499
00:27:54,205 --> 00:27:57,008
Michin is painting Chelsea Green
in a very positive light

500
00:27:57,075 --> 00:27:59,644
because Michin is doing
what Chelsea accused her of.

501
00:27:59,711 --> 00:28:03,181
[Cole] It is a historic night, first ever
dumpster match on SmackDown,

502
00:28:03,248 --> 00:28:06,751
-first ever women's dumpster match.
-[Corey] This is not a table match.

503
00:28:06,818 --> 00:28:09,120
[Cole] Yeah,
but you can use anything you want.

504
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:12,891
Remember the first dumpster match
all the way back at WrestleMania 1998?

505
00:28:12,957 --> 00:28:18,663
Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie beat
the New Age Outlaws to win the tag titles.

506
00:28:18,730 --> 00:28:19,597
Oh, my goodness!

507
00:28:19,664 --> 00:28:21,399
[Corey] I saw Road Dogg last week.

508
00:28:21,466 --> 00:28:24,369
And he was actually crying
about how brutal that match was.

509
00:28:24,436 --> 00:28:25,737
And nobody appreciated it.

510
00:28:25,804 --> 00:28:28,740
[Cole] And Chelsea sent right
back into the ring by Michin.

511
00:28:29,140 --> 00:28:33,111
We saw, uh,
DX and the Dudleys battle it out in 2000.

512
00:28:33,178 --> 00:28:36,381
The most recent one, 2017,
Kalisto and Braun Strowman.

513
00:28:36,448 --> 00:28:38,650
Missile dropkick by Michin

514
00:28:39,050 --> 00:28:41,386
driving Chelsea Green out of the ring.

515
00:28:41,453 --> 00:28:43,855
Michin is really turning it on
as of late, Corey.

516
00:28:43,922 --> 00:28:47,125
[Corey] I agree. We've seen a side
of Michin that we had not seen

517
00:28:47,192 --> 00:28:49,627
until semi-recently.
It served her extremely well.

518
00:28:49,694 --> 00:28:51,596
Now, Chelsea hanging on for dear life,

519
00:28:51,663 --> 00:28:53,598
trying to avoid the humiliation,

520
00:28:53,665 --> 00:28:56,968
the embarrassment
of being dumped in a dumpster

521
00:28:57,435 --> 00:28:58,903
on global television.

522
00:28:58,970 --> 00:29:01,906
[Cole] Both these women
former TNA Impact Champions

523
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,876
as Chelsea drives Michin face-first.

524
00:29:05,043 --> 00:29:06,644
Chelsea is in control!

525
00:29:06,978 --> 00:29:09,013
Hey, you gotta "bin" it to win it.

526
00:29:13,752 --> 00:29:16,221
[Cole] Chelsea Green has been
extremely impressive

527
00:29:16,287 --> 00:29:18,790
in this dumpster match versus Michin.

528
00:29:18,857 --> 00:29:21,059
Remember, you win
when you dump your opponent

529
00:29:21,126 --> 00:29:23,228
in the garbage dumpster and close the lid.

530
00:29:23,294 --> 00:29:26,231
[Corey] Michin teetering
on the verge of disaster right now.

531
00:29:26,297 --> 00:29:29,334
-Here comes Ms. Green.
-[Cole] Chelsea looking to put it away.

532
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,937
And Michin able to duck underneath
and deliver a couple of Right Hands.

533
00:29:33,004 --> 00:29:35,273
Michin trying to fight back
into this against--

534
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:37,642
Oh! What a Tornado DDT!

535
00:29:39,144 --> 00:29:42,781
[Corey] Spectacular offense
from Michin into a German Suplex!

536
00:29:44,149 --> 00:29:46,217
Chelsea Green all out of sorts right now.

537
00:29:49,420 --> 00:29:51,189
Michin could be looking for Eat Defeat.

538
00:29:51,256 --> 00:29:52,991
[Cole] And Chelsea able to hang on.

539
00:29:53,057 --> 00:29:54,192
Great Counter by Green.

540
00:29:56,661 --> 00:29:59,330
[Corey] Is Chelsea gonna be able
to turn the tides?!

541
00:29:59,397 --> 00:30:01,199
A Canadian Destroyer!

542
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,302
[Cole] Dropping Michin into--
Chelsea Green's like:

543
00:30:04,369 --> 00:30:07,172
I can't believe I just hit that.
But again, there's no pinfall.

544
00:30:07,539 --> 00:30:09,774
You gotta dump
the opponent into the dumpster.

545
00:30:09,841 --> 00:30:11,643
-[Corey] Here we go.
-Petey's gotta--

546
00:30:11,709 --> 00:30:14,512
-[Corey] Oh, my God!
-Oh, my God. Michin in the dumpster!

547
00:30:14,579 --> 00:30:17,282
Chelsea Green has to close the lid
to win this matchup!

548
00:30:17,348 --> 00:30:19,050
[Corey] Finish the story, Chelsea!

549
00:30:20,218 --> 00:30:21,052
[Cole] Many--

550
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:26,758
Michin's trying to block!
Michin's trying to block! And she does!

551
00:30:26,991 --> 00:30:29,027
-She does!
-[Corey] Oh, my God.

552
00:30:29,093 --> 00:30:32,263
[Cole] And Michin now, trash bags in hand.

553
00:30:32,330 --> 00:30:33,698
I hope that's a Hefty.

554
00:30:33,998 --> 00:30:36,234
Bang to Chelsea again!

555
00:30:38,102 --> 00:30:39,237
You know what, Michin?

556
00:30:39,304 --> 00:30:41,439
If life gives you garbage,
you make compost.

557
00:30:41,506 --> 00:30:43,741
That's what she's doing here
to Chelsea Green.

558
00:30:48,146 --> 00:30:50,381
Chelsea almost picked up the win here.

559
00:30:54,052 --> 00:30:57,255
-Now, Chelsea just trying to survive.
-[crowd] Table! Table!

560
00:30:57,322 --> 00:30:59,424
Table! Table!

561
00:30:59,591 --> 00:31:00,458
Table! Table!

562
00:31:00,692 --> 00:31:01,559
Table!

563
00:31:02,293 --> 00:31:04,062
[Cole] And now the "tables" chants.

564
00:31:04,128 --> 00:31:05,263
[Corey] Oh, Nashville--

565
00:31:05,330 --> 00:31:08,199
-[Cole] Trashville. Trashhville.
-...get a hold of yourself.

566
00:31:08,733 --> 00:31:11,569
And now, oh, Chelsea Green
able to duck underneath,

567
00:31:11,636 --> 00:31:14,472
looking to put Michin away
with the Unpretty Her.

568
00:31:14,939 --> 00:31:16,174
Michin Counters.

569
00:31:16,241 --> 00:31:17,642
Eat Defeat!

570
00:31:19,210 --> 00:31:21,512
[Corey] Michin could be
thinking about a cover.

571
00:31:21,579 --> 00:31:24,215
But she needs to
chuck Ms. Green into the dumpster.

572
00:31:24,282 --> 00:31:25,416
[Cole] Little payback!

573
00:31:25,483 --> 00:31:26,384
Little payback!

574
00:31:26,451 --> 00:31:28,786
Remember what Nia Jax did to Michin?

575
00:31:31,022 --> 00:31:33,324
[Corey] Michin now perched on the ropes.

576
00:31:34,225 --> 00:31:36,361
[Cole] Payback to Chelsea!

577
00:31:36,427 --> 00:31:37,395
[Corey] Splat!

578
00:31:38,463 --> 00:31:40,231
Oh, my God!

579
00:31:44,035 --> 00:31:46,070
Absolute brutality,

580
00:31:46,137 --> 00:31:49,641
Michin sacrificing her own body

581
00:31:50,108 --> 00:31:52,777
to inflict punishment on Chelsea Green.

582
00:31:52,844 --> 00:31:56,147
[Cole] What about Chelsea
doing her best impersonation of Oscar?

583
00:31:57,048 --> 00:31:58,783
[Corey] I think she she'd be more--

584
00:31:59,150 --> 00:32:02,553
Oscar's got a girlfriend.
Grundgetta, I think, is her name.

585
00:32:02,887 --> 00:32:04,088
[laughing] I'm serious.

586
00:32:05,123 --> 00:32:05,990
Michin--

587
00:32:06,057 --> 00:32:08,192
[Cole]
Now with a table across the dumpster.

588
00:32:08,259 --> 00:32:10,628
Not quite sure
what she's thinking about here.

589
00:32:10,695 --> 00:32:12,130
Well, I guess I am now.

590
00:32:12,363 --> 00:32:16,100
[Corey] Oh, no. Things are about to go
from bad to worse for Chelsea Green.

591
00:32:17,769 --> 00:32:20,471
Michin showing the WWE Universe just how--

592
00:32:20,538 --> 00:32:21,673
what the hell is that?

593
00:32:21,739 --> 00:32:23,541
Oh, Piper Niven!

594
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:25,944
[Cole] Piper Niven, we are in Nashville.

595
00:32:26,010 --> 00:32:27,979
[Corey] I thought that was Walter White.

596
00:32:28,046 --> 00:32:29,080
[Cole] And Niven...

597
00:32:31,516 --> 00:32:33,251
with a senton to Michin.

598
00:32:33,318 --> 00:32:35,253
And remember, no disqualifications.

599
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:36,754
[Corey] Ride 'em, cowgirl.

600
00:32:36,821 --> 00:32:39,123
[Cole]
She's been in Tootsie's most of the day.

601
00:32:39,490 --> 00:32:40,925
And Mich-- oh!

602
00:32:42,961 --> 00:32:45,229
This is a dumpster fire tonight!

603
00:32:46,631 --> 00:32:48,232
[Corey] Michin and Chelsea Green

604
00:32:48,299 --> 00:32:51,602
both still technically
alive in this matchup.

605
00:32:51,669 --> 00:32:52,904
It's anyone's match.

606
00:32:52,971 --> 00:32:54,472
[Cole] Because you got to put

607
00:32:54,539 --> 00:32:56,874
your opponent in the dumpster
and close the lid.

608
00:32:56,941 --> 00:32:59,110
[Corey] Chelsea has barely moved an inch

609
00:32:59,711 --> 00:33:02,347
since being smashed
inside of the trash can

610
00:33:03,014 --> 00:33:05,216
by the senton of Michin.

611
00:33:05,283 --> 00:33:07,885
[Cole] D-Von and Bubba will
be happy seeing that table.

612
00:33:08,186 --> 00:33:10,521
They were in a dumpster.
Michin trying to hang on.

613
00:33:10,755 --> 00:33:13,624
Chelsea Green desperately trying
to win this match.

614
00:33:15,393 --> 00:33:17,829
[Corey] Uh-oh. Uh-oh. This'll do it.

615
00:33:17,995 --> 00:33:19,664
And Michin been able to block.

616
00:33:20,598 --> 00:33:22,233
Michin blocks again.

617
00:33:25,503 --> 00:33:26,738
-Blocked.
-[Cole] Oh, no.

618
00:33:27,905 --> 00:33:31,175
-Totally in trouble!
-[Corey] No, no, no, no!

619
00:33:31,509 --> 00:33:32,677
Oh, my God!

620
00:33:33,077 --> 00:33:34,379
[Cole] Chelsea Green!

621
00:33:35,847 --> 00:33:36,714
[Corey] No!

622
00:33:37,648 --> 00:33:40,118
[Cole]
Through the table into the dumpster!

623
00:33:40,585 --> 00:33:42,553
Both women are in the dumpster!

624
00:33:44,822 --> 00:33:47,291
Who's gonna--
and Michin crawling of the wreckage.

625
00:33:48,860 --> 00:33:50,995
Michin trying to--
she's gotta close the lid

626
00:33:51,062 --> 00:33:52,463
now to win this match!

627
00:33:53,331 --> 00:33:55,833
[Corey] Oh, no.
This has gotta be humiliating.

628
00:33:58,102 --> 00:33:59,437
[Cole] The lid is closed!

629
00:33:59,504 --> 00:34:00,938
-Michin wins!
-[bell rings]

630
00:34:03,107 --> 00:34:06,310
[Alicia] Here is your winner:

631
00:34:06,377 --> 00:34:09,380
Michin!

632
00:34:09,447 --> 00:34:11,449
[Cole] Chelsea got dumped.

633
00:34:12,316 --> 00:34:14,118
[Corey] Chelsea Green messed around

634
00:34:14,185 --> 00:34:17,455
with the wrong woman and found out.

635
00:34:17,522 --> 00:34:22,360
Michin was tired of the embarrassment,
tired of the humiliation,

636
00:34:22,427 --> 00:34:26,964
and returned the favor
in extremely painful fashion.

637
00:34:27,031 --> 00:34:30,902
Look at this
thunderous powerbomb off of the apron,

638
00:34:30,968 --> 00:34:34,205
through a table, into the dumpster.

639
00:34:34,539 --> 00:34:37,642
And that was the beginning
of the end for Chelsea Green.

640
00:34:37,942 --> 00:34:40,578
[Cole] Michin with a big win here tonight

641
00:34:40,645 --> 00:34:42,713
on Friday Night SmackDown

642
00:34:42,780 --> 00:34:45,917
in the first ever women's dumpster match.

643
00:34:45,983 --> 00:34:49,220
Oh, man. This is a Trashening for Chelsea.

644
00:34:50,121 --> 00:34:53,191
[Corey] This is horrid. Oh, my God.

645
00:34:53,257 --> 00:34:56,060
[Cole] Well, that dumpster
is overflowing with potential.

646
00:34:56,627 --> 00:34:57,562
Clean up your act!

647
00:34:57,628 --> 00:34:58,963
It's been too long!

648
00:34:59,697 --> 00:35:01,466
No!

649
00:35:04,001 --> 00:35:05,903
[Corey] There we see the phenomenal...

650
00:35:07,472 --> 00:35:10,241
AJ Styles, being
checked out by our doctor.

651
00:35:10,308 --> 00:35:14,712
The current reports are
that AJ is suffering from some sort

652
00:35:14,779 --> 00:35:16,147
of left ankle injury.

653
00:35:16,214 --> 00:35:19,383
He has been taken
to a local hospital for x-rays.

654
00:35:19,450 --> 00:35:21,953
This video package taken
moments ago backstage.

655
00:35:22,019 --> 00:35:24,255
Again, AJ Styles being evaluated

656
00:35:24,322 --> 00:35:27,291
and x-rayed at a local hospital

657
00:35:27,358 --> 00:35:29,560
for a potential left ankle injury.

658
00:35:30,461 --> 00:35:31,529
Breathe, breathe.

659
00:35:33,498 --> 00:35:36,634
[Jade] Hey! Hey! Hey, sis. Okay, sis.

660
00:35:37,468 --> 00:35:38,870
-Okay, I see you.
-[cheering]

661
00:35:38,936 --> 00:35:41,739
Yes, and I know
you're gonna give Ms. Tiffy Time

662
00:35:41,806 --> 00:35:43,708
the Tiffy business tonight.

663
00:35:43,774 --> 00:35:44,709
Oh, yes.

664
00:35:44,775 --> 00:35:46,611
Because she always talking mess.

665
00:35:46,677 --> 00:35:49,881
Anyway, enough about her.
Let's talk about these beautiful titles

666
00:35:49,947 --> 00:35:52,750
my girls earned back. Let me touch!

667
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:54,952
-Rub mine. Rub mine. Thank you.
-Oh, yes.

668
00:35:55,019 --> 00:35:56,554
Listen, we appreciate you, sis.

669
00:35:56,621 --> 00:35:58,923
But listen,
after you get that big dub tonight,

670
00:35:58,990 --> 00:36:03,794
we are going to my stomping grounds
in ATL to turn up!

671
00:36:03,861 --> 00:36:06,030
-We?
-Girl, we not speaking French. We.

672
00:36:06,097 --> 00:36:08,599
Yes, we, we, we, we
Because we just talked to Nick.

673
00:36:08,666 --> 00:36:11,536
And he told us,
tomorrow night the three of us

674
00:36:11,602 --> 00:36:14,906
-are hosting Bad Blood together!
-Yes!

675
00:36:14,972 --> 00:36:16,107
[excited screams]

676
00:36:16,174 --> 00:36:19,877
Let me see you do the A-Town stomp.

677
00:36:19,944 --> 00:36:22,013
Do the A-Town stomp!

678
00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:24,949
Cut. No. Cut. Sorry.

679
00:36:25,016 --> 00:36:28,185
Congratulations.
Let me talk to my girl real quick. Okay?

680
00:36:28,252 --> 00:36:29,754
We'll see you tomorrow.

681
00:36:29,820 --> 00:36:31,522
See you tomorrow.

682
00:36:31,589 --> 00:36:32,623
Call me.

683
00:36:33,324 --> 00:36:35,826
Sorry to interrupt. Look,
I just wanna reassure you

684
00:36:35,893 --> 00:36:37,461
what we talked about last week.

685
00:36:37,528 --> 00:36:40,631
I'm about to go out there
and call Nia and tell her to her face

686
00:36:40,698 --> 00:36:43,234
that I'm gonna beat her
tomorrow night at Bad Blood.

687
00:36:43,301 --> 00:36:47,238
And when I do, you're number one in line.

you have to wear a cowboy hat and boots?

744
00:39:48,953 --> 00:39:49,987
[Cole] I believe so.

745
00:39:50,688 --> 00:39:54,358
Nia Jax is Champion today,
many will say, because of Tiffany Stratton

746

757
00:40:37,268 --> 00:40:40,538
say it straight to my face.

758
00:40:44,842 --> 00:40:47,845
I do. And actually,
that's why I called you out, Nia.

759
00:40:48,979 --> 00:40:51,982
Because for as long as I've known you,

760
00:40:52,716 --> 00:40:55,953
you've never understood
the significance of this title right here.

761
00:40:56,187 --> 00:41:00,157
You've never understood the importance
of this Championship around your shoulder.

762
00:41:00,224 --> 00:41:02,026
For what it means to everybody out here,

763
00:41:02,092 --> 00:41:04,962
for what it means to people like me,

764
00:41:05,029 --> 00:41:06,897
people who grew up loving it,

765
00:41:06,964 --> 00:41:09,967
people who grew up wanting nothing more

766
00:41:10,034 --> 00:41:12,203
than to hold this Championship.

767
00:41:12,937 --> 00:41:14,338
You see, I sat at home.

768
00:41:14,405 --> 00:41:15,606
And I sat in the crowd.

769
00:41:15,673 --> 00:41:18,375
And I grew up watching
people hold that title

770
00:41:18,442 --> 00:41:20,211
like Molly Holly,

771
00:41:20,277 --> 00:41:22,279
like Victoria,

772
00:41:22,913 --> 00:41:27,551
like Beth Phoenix, Natalia,
Trish, Lita, all of those women

773
00:41:27,618 --> 00:41:29,453
made that title seem

774
00:41:30,020 --> 00:41:33,424
like they were larger than life,
that they were more than human.

775
00:41:34,592 --> 00:41:35,626
And that ain't you.

776
00:41:39,263 --> 00:41:42,333
But as much as it pains
me to admit, there's one thing

777
00:41:42,399 --> 00:41:43,734
that they weren't.

778
00:41:45,169 --> 00:41:48,472
They've never had
a dominant Championship run

779
00:41:48,539 --> 00:41:50,274
like you have right now.

780
00:41:50,341 --> 00:41:52,042
And I'll admit that, Nia.

781
00:41:52,109 --> 00:41:54,879
You're on to become
one of the most dominant,

782
00:41:54,945 --> 00:41:59,350
if not the most dominant women
in all of WWE.

784
00:42:03,954 --> 00:42:05,422
But the facts are,

785
00:42:05,489 --> 00:42:08,459
there are two people in the WWE

786
00:42:08,526 --> 00:42:10,694
that can take that from you right now.

787
00:42:10,761 --> 00:42:14,965
One of them is me,
tomorrow night, one on one at Bad Blood.

788
00:42:15,032 --> 00:42:18,335
And I plan to take that Championship
straight off your shoulder.

789
00:42:22,273 --> 00:42:24,808
And the second one...

790
00:42:27,211 --> 00:42:30,114
is your old friend
Tiffy Stratton over here.

791
00:42:33,751 --> 00:42:36,554
And trust me, it ain't
because she's good enough.

792
00:42:36,921 --> 00:42:40,257
It's because of the briefcase
she has in her hand,

793
00:42:40,324 --> 00:42:41,525
that thing right there.

794
00:42:41,592 --> 00:42:44,962
Yeah, and the moment
she gets tired of you talking down to her,

795
00:42:45,029 --> 00:42:48,299
the moment she gets
tired of you berating her,

796
00:42:48,866 --> 00:42:52,569
she's going to grab that title
and hit you right in the back of the head,

797
00:42:52,636 --> 00:42:56,640
cash it in, and become
the new WWE Women's Champion.

00:43:09,954 --> 00:43:14,091
Are you saying,
the only reason why I could beat Nia

803
00:43:14,158 --> 00:43:15,993
is because of this briefcase?

804
00:43:17,728 --> 00:43:20,064
I don't need this briefcase to beat Nia.

00:43:21,165 --> 00:43:22,266
Excuse me?

806
00:43:23,734 --> 00:43:27,471
I mean, why would I ever think
of doing something like that?

807
00:43:27,538 --> 00:43:31,942
I mean, she just has me so angry.
I'm sorry. You know what?

810
00:43:37,848 --> 00:43:40,050

811
00:43:41,352 --> 00:43:44,555
why don't you bow down to your queen?

Yeah, you know what, Tiff?
You're out of your mind.

814
00:43:55,699 --> 00:43:59,336
I mean, as much as I don't agree
with how Nia conducts herself,

815
00:43:59,403 --> 00:44:02,673
I can at least appreciate
and respect how dominant she's been.

816
00:44:02,740 --> 00:44:05,876
Whereas you, I have zero respect for.

817
00:44:07,077 --> 00:44:08,812

818

LA, what is that smelly--

886
00:47:58,709 --> 00:48:00,043
My eyes are burning.

887
00:48:00,210 --> 00:48:01,745
Looking great, girls.

888
00:48:04,548 --> 00:48:05,616
Don't listen to them.

889
00:48:05,682 --> 00:48:07,351
I'm talking about that last one--

890
00:48:07,417 --> 00:48:09,386
[gagging]

891
00:48:10,087 --> 00:48:11,888
Oh, man. My cake stinks.

00:48:11,955 --> 00:48:14,591
Nah, dude, that's Chelsea Green!

893
00:48:17,227 --> 00:48:18,395
Oh, my God.

894
00:48:18,462 --> 00:48:19,396
What?

895
00:48:19,696 --> 00:48:20,564
[gagging]

896
00:48:20,631 --> 00:48:23,133

She's not [SPEAKING SPANISH].

898
00:48:33,477 --> 00:48:37,781
Oh, Chelsea, sorry about that result.
That really stinks.

899
00:48:38,282 --> 00:48:40,550
Michin really did you dirty with that.

900
00:48:40,617 --> 00:48:43,153
Sorry, I don't wanna recycle
any more of these puns.

901
00:48:43,220 --> 00:48:45,422
Is there something you need
besides a shower?

902
00:48:49,059 --> 00:48:50,127
[Chelsea] Uh.

903
00:48:52,229 --> 00:48:53,263
Hey, what's up, boss?

904
00:48:54,531 --> 00:48:57,167
You heard LA Knight.
I beat AJ Styles fair and square.

905
00:48:57,234 --> 00:48:59,169
So when we gonna get that title match?

906
00:48:59,236 --> 00:49:01,471
I'm thinking at Bad Blood.
We do WrestleMania?

907
00:49:01,672 --> 00:49:05,242
You're gonna stand there
with a straight face and call that a win?

908
00:49:05,642 --> 00:49:06,576
Yeah.

909
00:49:06,643 --> 00:49:08,845
Listen, the only thing
I care about right now

910
00:49:08,912 --> 00:49:11,381
is checking on AJ Styles.
So I'm gonna go do that.

911
00:49:11,548 --> 00:49:13,317
And you and I can talk next week.

912
00:49:13,383 --> 00:49:14,318
All right.

913
00:49:22,192 --> 00:49:24,962
[Cole] Meanwhile, in the
ring here tonight in Nashville,

914
00:49:25,028 --> 00:49:29,466
Tiffany Stratton, Naomi,
one on one on Friday Night SmackDown.

915
00:49:29,533 --> 00:49:32,269
This has been quite
the rivalry between these two.

916
00:49:33,270 --> 00:49:38,008
Tiffany Stratton eliminated Naomi
all the way back in February in Australia

917
00:49:38,075 --> 00:49:39,876
in the Elimination Chamber match.

918
00:49:40,777 --> 00:49:43,613
[Corey] Naomi, of course,
a very close, friend of Bayley.

919
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,482
[Cole] A nice takedown by Naomi

920
00:49:45,549 --> 00:49:47,851
and hammering away now
on Tiffany Stratton.

921
00:49:47,918 --> 00:49:50,253
Naomi was in that Money
in the Bank Ladder Match

922
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,789
that Tiffany Stratton won back in July.

923
00:49:52,856 --> 00:49:56,126
[Corey] And, Cole, far be it
for me to sow these seeds of dissension

924
00:49:56,193 --> 00:49:58,428
that everyone seems to be so eager to sow.

925
00:49:58,495 --> 00:50:02,099
But Tiffany Stratton appeared
as though she was at least considering

926
00:50:02,165 --> 00:50:06,336
cashing in her Money in the Bank contract
on Nia Jax a few moments ago. Am I wrong?

927
00:50:06,403 --> 00:50:07,504
[Cole] No, you're not.

928
00:50:07,571 --> 00:50:10,340
And remember, Nia
and Bayley have a Championship match

929
00:50:10,407 --> 00:50:11,708
tomorrow night at Bad Blood.

930
00:50:11,775 --> 00:50:15,312
Would Tiffany Stratton perhaps think
about cashing in tomorrow?

931
00:50:15,379 --> 00:50:17,381
Naomi, with that Running Clothesline.

932
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,851
[Corey] I don't think I should be
the one to remind Tiffany Stratton.

933
00:50:20,917 --> 00:50:23,320
You've also got Liv Morgan
from Monday Night RAW,

934
00:50:23,387 --> 00:50:24,721
the Women's World Champion.

935
00:50:24,788 --> 00:50:27,391
You also got Roxanne Perez,
the NXT Women's Champion.

936
00:50:27,457 --> 00:50:29,760
You can cash in
your Money in the Bank contract

937
00:50:29,826 --> 00:50:32,929
-for a full year on any Champion.
-[Cole] That's a great point.

938
00:50:32,996 --> 00:50:36,099
Liv's got Rhea tomorrow night
with Dominik inside a shark cage.

939
00:50:36,166 --> 00:50:38,168
Maybe Tiffany cashes in on one of those.

940
00:50:38,435 --> 00:50:41,471
And you mentioned Roxanne Perez
successful on the NXT debut

941
00:50:41,538 --> 00:50:44,040
on the CW this past Tuesday,
knocking off Julia

942
00:50:44,107 --> 00:50:46,443
with the return of Cora Jade.

943
00:50:47,444 --> 00:50:50,947
And Naomi now Kicks right
to the midsection of Tiffany Stratton.

944
00:50:51,515 --> 00:50:53,884
Again, that contract
you can cash in at any time

945
00:50:53,950 --> 00:50:55,919
for a Championship opportunity.

946
00:50:55,986 --> 00:50:59,289
And Naomi into the cover,
Hook of the leg, and a kick-out.

947
00:50:59,356 --> 00:51:01,825
Speaking of Championship opportunities,

948
00:51:01,892 --> 00:51:04,661
Corey, Naomi is extremely
frustrated last week

949
00:51:04,728 --> 00:51:06,930
after Bayley beat her
to win the Championship

950
00:51:06,997 --> 00:51:08,398
opportunity against Nia Jax.

951
00:51:08,465 --> 00:51:12,536
Bayley very happy though
that Naomi gave her her blessing

952
00:51:12,602 --> 00:51:13,703
going into that matchup.

953
00:51:13,770 --> 00:51:16,073
[Corey]
I think many people, myself included,

954
00:51:16,139 --> 00:51:18,542
believe Naomi's day
in the sun is yet to come.

955
00:51:18,608 --> 00:51:21,545
Naomi still has-- a lot has
changed since she went away

956
00:51:21,611 --> 00:51:23,447
from WWE for quite some time.

957
00:51:23,513 --> 00:51:26,316
The landscape has changed.
The talent roster has changed.

958
00:51:26,383 --> 00:51:28,485
The level of competition-- cover.

959
00:51:28,552 --> 00:51:31,254
[Cole] Hook of the leg
off the suplex and a kick-out.

960
00:51:31,321 --> 00:51:33,457
[Corey]
The level of competition has adapted,

961
00:51:33,523 --> 00:51:35,225
evolved, got stronger, got faster.

962
00:51:35,292 --> 00:51:38,328
You've got an upstart
like Tiffany Stratton making a waves.

963
00:51:38,395 --> 00:51:41,098
And Naomi's still trying
to figure out where she fits in.

964
00:51:41,164 --> 00:51:43,900
[Cole] Yeah, Naomi,
a former two-time Women's Champion.

965
00:51:44,201 --> 00:51:46,103
Remember, Bayley did tell Naomi, though,

966
00:51:46,169 --> 00:51:49,840
hey, listen, if I knock off Nia
at Bad Blood, you'll be first in line

967
00:51:49,906 --> 00:51:53,543
for an opportunity.
Tiffany Stratton, wow! What a move!

968
00:51:53,877 --> 00:51:57,747
Knees off the top rope,
cover on Naomi. And a kick-out.

969
00:51:57,814 --> 00:52:00,016
Stratton, an incredible athlete.

970
00:52:00,984 --> 00:52:03,120
She's powerful and stunning.

971
00:52:03,186 --> 00:52:06,223
[Corey] And I think the more experience
that Stratton obtains,

972
00:52:06,289 --> 00:52:08,925
the more dangerous
she is going to be as a competitor.

973
00:52:09,159 --> 00:52:11,027
[Cole] Naomi with a Kick to Stratton.

974
00:52:11,094 --> 00:52:13,396
[Corey]
Holding the Money in the Bank briefcase

975
00:52:13,463 --> 00:52:16,800
makes her, arguably,
the most dangerous woman in all of WWE

976
00:52:16,867 --> 00:52:18,635
from a contractual standpoint.

977
00:52:18,702 --> 00:52:22,506
But once Tiffany figures things out,
really gets comfortable inside the ring,

978
00:52:22,572 --> 00:52:24,875
she is gonna be a force for a long time.

979
00:52:28,612 --> 00:52:32,149
[Cole] Now, Naomi with a Kick
right to the back of the neck of Stratton.

980
00:52:32,215 --> 00:52:33,950
[Corey] And with that said, Naomi--

981
00:52:34,017 --> 00:52:37,454
-[Cole] Oh! There's that Leg Drop.
-Naomi's smart.

982
00:52:37,521 --> 00:52:39,990
Naomi understands
that the WWE Universe is talking

983
00:52:40,056 --> 00:52:42,459
about Tiffany Stratton.
They're watching Tiffany.

984
00:52:42,526 --> 00:52:44,194
And Naomi wants to take Tiff out.

985
00:52:45,362 --> 00:52:47,964
[Cole] Is it going to be
Tiffy time or feel the glow.

986
00:52:48,031 --> 00:52:49,299
SmackDown continues live.

987
00:52:52,235 --> 00:52:54,938
[Cole] Quite the match here
on Friday Night SmackDown,

988
00:52:55,005 --> 00:52:57,007
Tiffany versus Naomi.

989
00:52:57,073 --> 00:53:03,013
We are in Nashville tonight live
in front of 11,1-- Oh! ...71 WWE fans.

990
00:53:03,079 --> 00:53:05,015
[Corey] That Backpack Stunner by Naomi

991
00:53:05,081 --> 00:53:07,284
just turned the tides of this matchup.

992
00:53:07,350 --> 00:53:08,919
Can Naomi capitalize?

993
00:53:08,985 --> 00:53:12,589
[Cole] Naomi hurt herself as well,
as she came down hard on the tailbone.

994
00:53:12,656 --> 00:53:15,358
Naomi looking to try
to build momentum in this matchup

995
00:53:15,425 --> 00:53:17,794
against Miss Money
in the Bank Tiffany Stratton.

996
00:53:21,298 --> 00:53:22,732
Naomi back to her feet.

997
00:53:23,733 --> 00:53:25,802
And Tiffany with a Right Hand of her own.

998
00:53:27,504 --> 00:53:31,207
[Corey]
Big Right by Stratton. Answered by Naomi.

999
00:53:32,142 --> 00:53:34,878
And a physical night so far on SmackDown.

1000
00:53:35,345 --> 00:53:36,980
Oh, Naomi caught her!

1001
00:53:37,614 --> 00:53:39,549
We're showing no signs of slowing.

1002
00:53:39,616 --> 00:53:43,286
Triple Threat Ladder Match
for the tag team titles in the main event.

1003
00:53:45,388 --> 00:53:46,456
Naomi-- Ooh!

1004
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:47,958
[Cole] Face first.

1005
00:53:48,325 --> 00:53:49,826
And Bulldog to Tiffany.

1006
00:53:50,026 --> 00:53:51,261
Kip-up By Naomi.

1007
00:53:55,065 --> 00:53:57,934
Oh, and a Sliding Slap by Naomi!

1008
00:53:58,335 --> 00:53:59,402
[Corey] Insult and injury.

1009
00:53:59,803 --> 00:54:00,737
[Cole] Boom!

1010
00:54:00,804 --> 00:54:01,972
Down goes Stratton.

1011
00:54:02,038 --> 00:54:03,240
Unique move by Naomi.

1012
00:54:03,306 --> 00:54:07,577
Hook of the leg now for the win!
And Stratton barely gets the shoulder up.

1013
00:54:08,445 --> 00:54:11,448
[Corey] Looks to me
like Tiffany Stratton's starting to fade.

1014
00:54:11,514 --> 00:54:14,384
If Naomi somehow is able
to keep her foot on the gas pedal

1015
00:54:14,451 --> 00:54:15,719
just a little bit longer,

1016
00:54:15,785 --> 00:54:17,921
the W may be coming Naomi's way.

1017
00:54:19,189 --> 00:54:21,491
[Cole] Important
match in many ways for Naomi,

1018
00:54:21,558 --> 00:54:24,060
especially coming off the loss
last week to Bayley.

1019
00:54:25,128 --> 00:54:27,130
[Corey] This day and age, every matchup,

1020
00:54:27,197 --> 00:54:28,598
is important in WWE--

1021
00:54:28,665 --> 00:54:32,602
-[Cole] Oh! Great Counter! Look at that!
-Oh, wow!

1022
00:54:32,669 --> 00:54:35,171
[Corey] Cover!
[Cole] Dropkick cover by Stratton!

1023
00:54:35,238 --> 00:54:37,674
And a kick-out! That was amazing!

1024
00:54:37,741 --> 00:54:40,310
[Corey] The gymnastic background
of Tiffany Stratton

1025
00:54:40,377 --> 00:54:43,013
coming into play.
We gotta watch this again.

1026
00:54:43,079 --> 00:54:46,616
Stratton able to put the brakes on
in spectacular fashion

1027
00:54:46,683 --> 00:54:49,786
before a dropkick right to the chin
of Naomi.

1028
00:54:49,853 --> 00:54:53,056
And now, Tiffy time taking control.

1029
00:54:55,091 --> 00:54:57,627
[Cole] Naomi with Right Hands
unloading on Stratton.

1030
00:54:57,694 --> 00:54:58,928
Big Headbutt to the face.

1031
00:55:02,098 --> 00:55:03,967
Top rope, gonna fly.

1032
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:08,405
Crossbody.
Tiffany rolls through and now--

1033
00:55:09,339 --> 00:55:10,240
[Corey] Wow.

1034
00:55:10,307 --> 00:55:13,843
[Cole] The power of Stratton
just powering Naomi up!

1035
00:55:15,812 --> 00:55:19,416
[Corey] You can't not be impressed
by Tiffany Stratton's athleticism.

1036
00:55:19,482 --> 00:55:22,519
[Cole] And Naomi able to Counter,
got out of that predicament.

1037
00:55:24,521 --> 00:55:26,489
A Kick right to the back of the head.

1038
00:55:27,157 --> 00:55:28,491
Tiffany Stratton's down.

1039
00:55:28,558 --> 00:55:30,994
Naomi now,
Split Leg Moonsault, nobody home.

1040
00:55:31,061 --> 00:55:32,562
Stratton moved out of the way.

1041
00:55:34,264 --> 00:55:36,666
[Corey]
Stratton now surveying the situation.

1042
00:55:38,601 --> 00:55:40,603
-Here it comes!
-[Cole] And the top rope,

1043
00:55:40,670 --> 00:55:41,971
Landed and rolled through!

1044
00:55:44,974 --> 00:55:46,376
Cartwheel into the corner.

1045
00:55:46,643 --> 00:55:49,446
Naomi able to duck
out of harm's way and catch Stratton.

1046
00:55:53,183 --> 00:55:54,584
[Corey] Full nelson applied.

1047
00:55:54,651 --> 00:55:57,587
[Cole] Nice takedown
by Stratton into a Pinning combination.

1048
00:55:57,654 --> 00:55:58,588
Hook of the leg.

1049
00:55:58,655 --> 00:56:00,557
Naomi rolls her over, shoulders down.

1050
00:56:00,623 --> 00:56:02,625
-[crowd] 1, 2, 3!
-[Cole] Naomi Got her!

1051
00:56:02,692 --> 00:56:04,494
-[bell rings]
-[crowd goes wild]

1052
00:56:05,995 --> 00:56:08,064
[Alicia] Here is your winner:

1053
00:56:08,431 --> 00:56:11,568
Naomi!

1054
00:56:11,634 --> 00:56:14,871
[Cole] What an incredible match
and a very important win for Naomi.

1055
00:56:15,405 --> 00:56:16,873
She picks up the victory.

1056
00:56:16,940 --> 00:56:19,008
She hopes Bayley can win tomorrow night.

1057
00:56:19,075 --> 00:56:21,578
So perhaps Naomi gets
the title shot down the road.

1058
00:56:21,644 --> 00:56:24,180
And the question going
into Bad Blood tomorrow night

1059
00:56:24,247 --> 00:56:28,551
is what does Tiffany Stratton do
with the Money in the Bank briefcase?

1060
00:56:28,618 --> 00:56:30,720
[Corey] Well, again, we need to reiterate

1061
00:56:30,787 --> 00:56:34,991
Tiffany Stratton could cash in
on Nia or you've got Roxanne Perez.

1062
00:56:35,058 --> 00:56:36,960
I neglected to mention Kayloni Jordan,

1063
00:56:37,026 --> 00:56:39,028
the NXT North American Women's Champion.

1064
00:56:39,095 --> 00:56:41,564
Tiffany Stratton can use that contract

1065
00:56:41,631 --> 00:56:43,566
at the time and place of her choosing.

1066
00:56:43,633 --> 00:56:46,436
-Choose wisely.
-It could be tomorrow night at Bad Blood,

1067
00:56:46,503 --> 00:56:49,072
where the main event is
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes

1068
00:56:49,139 --> 00:56:50,240
against The Bloodline.

1069
00:56:50,306 --> 00:56:51,975
Let's take you back to SmackDown.

1070
00:56:52,041 --> 00:56:54,577
Last week, we kicked off
the show with The Bloodline

1071
00:56:54,644 --> 00:56:57,380
in a verbal battle
with KO, Orton, and Rhodes.

1072
00:56:59,449 --> 00:57:02,585
It doesn't have to just
be a tag team match.

1073
00:57:02,652 --> 00:57:04,788
There are three of us
standing in the ring--

1074
00:57:04,854 --> 00:57:06,256
No, no, no. Actually, no offense.

1075
00:57:06,322 --> 00:57:09,259
You have your tag team match
against them at Bad Blood.

1076
00:57:09,325 --> 00:57:11,227
You got your partner for that tonight.

1077
00:57:11,294 --> 00:57:15,732
I'm talking about Solo and Jacob Fatu
against me and Randy Orton tonight!

1078
00:57:15,799 --> 00:57:17,167
Randy, come on!

1079
00:57:18,902 --> 00:57:21,838
[Cole] A two-on-two tag match would ensue.

1080
00:57:22,071 --> 00:57:24,874
But to the surprise
of absolutely no one, The Bloodline

1081
00:57:24,941 --> 00:57:27,010
and the numbers game would play a factor.

1082
00:57:27,076 --> 00:57:29,179
[Corey]
Remember, you saw Rhodes come down.

1083
00:57:29,245 --> 00:57:31,314
Kevin Owens said stay out of our business.

1084
00:57:31,381 --> 00:57:34,784
Randy Orton said, if we need you,
come down, Cody. And it backfired.

1085
00:57:34,851 --> 00:57:36,953
[Cole] There you see an incidental contact

1086
00:57:37,020 --> 00:57:38,855
between Cody Rhodes and our official,

1087
00:57:38,922 --> 00:57:41,124
which caused some frustration
for Kevin Owens

1088
00:57:41,324 --> 00:57:43,860
and allowed for the Samoan Werewolf

1089
00:57:43,927 --> 00:57:49,265
to set the table for Solo
to feast on the carcass of KO.

1090
00:57:49,332 --> 00:57:52,101
[Corey] Kevin Owens is
obviously frustrated with Rhodes.

1091
00:57:52,168 --> 00:57:54,204
KO had the matchup won after the Stunner.

1092
00:57:54,370 --> 00:57:56,873
Randy Orton allowed
cooler heads to prevail.

1093
00:57:59,042 --> 00:58:00,243
Or did he?

1094
00:58:03,446 --> 00:58:04,447
Hey!

1095
00:58:04,881 --> 00:58:07,517
I love my Tribal Chief!

1096
00:58:07,750 --> 00:58:11,788
My Tongan brothers,
they love our Tribal Chief!

1097
00:58:12,188 --> 00:58:16,593
Nashville, Tennessee,
oh, yeah, they love our Tribal Chief!

1098
00:58:17,060 --> 00:58:20,430
DIY, Street Profits, Cody Rhodes,

1099
00:58:20,663 --> 00:58:23,900
hell, even Roman Reigns will love

1100
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:25,735
our Tribal Chief!

1101
00:58:25,802 --> 00:58:27,570
And when you love our Tribal Chief,

1102
00:58:27,804 --> 00:58:30,573
you learn how to respect our Tribal Chief!

1103
00:58:30,740 --> 00:58:32,675
And when you respect our Tribal Chief,

1104
00:58:32,876 --> 00:58:36,212
oh, lord,
you will worship our Tribal Chief!

1105
00:58:36,746 --> 00:58:39,282
And if you don't know how
to do none of those three,

1106
00:58:39,449 --> 00:58:43,920
at the end of the day,
you will acknowledge

1107
00:58:43,987 --> 00:58:46,222
the real Tribal Chief,

1108
00:58:46,789 --> 00:58:47,924
Solo!

1109
00:58:52,595 --> 00:58:54,464
Acknowledge me.

1110
00:58:58,234 --> 00:58:59,369
[tribal calls]

1111
00:58:59,602 --> 00:59:01,070
[tribal hype music]

1112
00:59:07,243 --> 00:59:09,779
[Cole] Well, they're
the current Tag Team Champions.

1113
00:59:09,846 --> 00:59:12,882
They're not carrying the titles
because the titles are hanging

1114
00:59:12,949 --> 00:59:14,050
high above the ring.

1115
00:59:14,117 --> 00:59:16,920
This is a Triple Threat
tag team Ladder Match.

1116
00:59:17,921 --> 00:59:20,823
Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa defending tonight.

1117
00:59:23,259 --> 00:59:24,260
[bell ringing]

1118
00:59:24,327 --> 00:59:29,933
[Alicia] The following
is a WWE Tag Team Championship

1119
00:59:29,999 --> 00:59:33,603
Triple Threat Ladder Match!

1120
00:59:33,870 --> 00:59:38,608
Introducing first,
representing The Bloodline,

1121
00:59:38,675 --> 00:59:44,781
they are the WWE Tag Team Champions,

1122
00:59:44,981 --> 00:59:50,787
Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa!

1123
00:59:53,122 --> 00:59:56,526
[Cole] Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga won
the tag titles

1124
00:59:57,060 --> 01:00:00,063
from DIY back in August.

1125
01:00:00,863 --> 01:00:03,933
Fatu would turn the titles
over to Tonga Loa

1126
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,302
when he became Solo Sikoa's enforcer.

1127
01:00:06,369 --> 01:00:09,238
Up next, for the first time in five years,

1128
01:00:09,606 --> 01:00:13,643
Ladder Match on SmackDown
for the tag titles.

1129
01:00:28,925 --> 01:00:30,159
Tiffy,

1130
01:00:32,462 --> 01:00:34,197
if I didn't know any better,

1131
01:00:34,931 --> 01:00:37,433
I would think
that you're trying to tease me

1132
01:00:38,368 --> 01:00:40,370
on when you're trying to cash in.

1133
01:00:43,072 --> 01:00:45,375
Maybe you should focus on Liv Morgan's

1134
01:00:45,441 --> 01:00:48,111
Women's World Championship
match tomorrow night.

1135
01:00:48,811 --> 01:00:52,515
Because that's a cash-in
you would actually survive.

1136
01:00:54,117 --> 01:00:57,320
Or you could tell me right now

1137
01:00:58,154 --> 01:01:00,990
that you'll never betray me.

1138
01:01:02,058 --> 01:01:04,060
Of-- of course not, my queen.

1139
01:01:04,594 --> 01:01:07,697
After all, like, you are my queen.

1140
01:01:19,342 --> 01:01:21,711
[Cole] The stakes could not be higher.

1141
01:01:21,778 --> 01:01:26,449
The Irresistible Force,
the WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax

1142
01:01:26,516 --> 01:01:29,886
defends her gold against
former Champion, Bayley,

1143
01:01:29,952 --> 01:01:32,889
in a trio of hosts for Bad Blood.

1144
01:01:32,955 --> 01:01:36,092
The Women's Tag Team Champions
Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair,

1145
01:01:36,159 --> 01:01:38,861
along with Naomi,
will be the special hosts

1146
01:01:39,462 --> 01:01:40,696
of Bad Blood in Atlanta.

1147
01:01:40,963 --> 01:01:44,467
And the Women's World Championship
will be on the line

1148
01:01:44,534 --> 01:01:49,172
as the reigning Champion, Liv Morgan,
defends against the challenger,

1149
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:51,307
Rhea Bloody Ripley.

1150
01:01:51,374 --> 01:01:56,345
And poor dirty Dominik Mysterio will be
locked inside of a shark cage.

1151
01:01:56,879 --> 01:02:00,550
[Corey] He's behind bars again.
Also at Bad Blood,

1152
01:02:00,616 --> 01:02:03,319
Damian Priest takes on that man:
Finn Balor,

1153
01:02:03,386 --> 01:02:06,155
the man who cost him
the World Heavyweight Championship

1154
01:02:06,222 --> 01:02:08,524
in the ultimate betrayal
back at SummerSlam.

1155
01:02:08,591 --> 01:02:12,228
Priest, Balor battle it out, Bad blood.

1156
01:02:12,295 --> 01:02:15,198
And a rivalry months in the making.

1157
01:02:15,264 --> 01:02:19,535
So bitter, so personal,
It can only be settled

1158
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:23,539
in one location, inside Hell in a Cell.

1159
01:02:23,606 --> 01:02:27,343
Drew McIntyre finishes CM Punk,

1160
01:02:27,410 --> 01:02:30,079
or CM Punk ends Drew McIntyre.

1161
01:02:30,146 --> 01:02:31,781
[Cole] In our main event tomorrow night,

1162
01:02:31,848 --> 01:02:35,318
Roman Reigns returns
to in-ring action for the first time

1163
01:02:35,384 --> 01:02:36,419
since WrestleMania.

1164
01:02:36,486 --> 01:02:40,289
Can Cody Rhodes trust
his former archrival,

1165
01:02:40,356 --> 01:02:42,925
as he takes on
the new leader of The Bloodline,

1166
01:02:42,992 --> 01:02:46,362
Solo Sikoa and the werewolf Jacob Fatu?

1167
01:02:46,429 --> 01:02:49,132
Tag team action, Bad
Blood, tomorrow night,

1168
01:02:49,198 --> 01:02:53,436
6:00 Eastern, 3:00 Pacific live
on Peacock, from Atlanta.

1169
01:02:55,071 --> 01:02:57,440
Bad Blood is presented
by Morgan and Morgan,

1170
01:02:57,507 --> 01:02:59,709
America's largest injury law firm.

And buy Wendy's new Saucy Nuggs.

1174
01:03:07,450 --> 01:03:09,452
Take the Nuggs you love and sauce them up

1175
01:03:09,519 --> 01:03:12,722
in seven bold flavors,
like honey barbecue or garlic parm.

1176
01:03:12,788 --> 01:03:13,756
Try them all today.

1177
01:03:13,823 --> 01:03:17,026
For a whole new way to Nugg,
it's gotta be Wendy's.

1178
01:03:18,394 --> 01:03:22,365
Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, The Bloodline,
their tag title's hanging above the ring.

1179
01:03:22,431 --> 01:03:27,470
You climb a ladder, you grab the titles,
you become the WWE Tag Team Champions.

and Tommaso Ciampa,

1188
01:03:48,324 --> 01:03:51,527
DIY!

1189
01:03:52,361 --> 01:03:54,564
[Cole] Corey,
DIY were the Tag Team Champions

1190
01:03:54,630 --> 01:03:56,399
back in early August,

1191
01:03:56,465 --> 01:03:59,335
before they were defeated
by The Bloodline.

1192
01:04:00,136 --> 01:04:04,807
[Corey] Gargano and Ciampa have
had so much success side by side,

1193
01:04:04,874 --> 01:04:06,776
dating back to their time in NXT.

1194
01:04:07,076 --> 01:04:10,546
Now here on SmackDown,
they would love the chance to see

1195
01:04:10,613 --> 01:04:13,516
the top of the mountain
in the Tag Team Division yet again.

1196
01:04:13,583 --> 01:04:15,651
But it will be no easy task tonight.

1197
01:04:15,718 --> 01:04:20,323
[Cole] Gargano and Ciampa have
been teaming together for nearly a decade,

1198
01:04:20,389 --> 01:04:22,158
starting back at NXT.

1199
01:04:22,225 --> 01:04:25,528
They've been in two Tag Team
Ladder Matches in their career.

1200
01:04:25,595 --> 01:04:28,397
So they have experience
in this type of the format.

1201
01:04:28,464 --> 01:04:31,534
So think about what this weekend
could mean for The Bloodline.

1202
01:04:31,601 --> 01:04:33,803
If Tama Tonga
and Tonga Loa retain tonight,

1203
01:04:33,870 --> 01:04:37,340
and tomorrow night somehow
Solo and Jacob Fatu are able

1204
01:04:37,406 --> 01:04:39,542
to knock off Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes,

1205
01:04:39,609 --> 01:04:44,780
the balance of power will undeniably
shift back into the favor of The Bloodline

1206
01:04:44,847 --> 01:04:46,182
and their new Tribal Chief.

1207
01:04:46,249 --> 01:04:47,850
[Corey] They may be unstoppable.

1208
01:04:50,753 --> 01:04:53,155
And these two dudes may be our last hope.

1209
01:04:53,222 --> 01:04:54,323
[cheering]

1210
01:04:55,625 --> 01:04:57,727
[Alicia] And their opponent,

1211
01:04:57,793 --> 01:05:02,064
accompanied by B-Fab, Angelo Dawkins

1212
01:05:02,131 --> 01:05:04,367
and Montez Ford:

1213
01:05:04,433 --> 01:05:09,105
the Street Profits!

1214
01:05:09,739 --> 01:05:11,807
[Cole] You Know, Corey, you gotta wonder,

1215
01:05:11,874 --> 01:05:15,611
when SmackDown gets to Greenville,
South Carolina next week,

1216
01:05:15,811 --> 01:05:19,382
whether it will be the Street
Profits, or it will be DIY,

1217
01:05:19,448 --> 01:05:25,254
or it will be The Bloodline
who will have the WWE Tag Team titles.

1218
01:05:25,321 --> 01:05:27,223
Now, here's an interesting statistic.

1219
01:05:27,290 --> 01:05:31,861
The Street Profits won
their first ever Tag Team Championship

1220
01:05:31,928 --> 01:05:34,864
in a fatal four-way Ladder Match,

1221
01:05:34,931 --> 01:05:37,066
the NXT Tag Team Titles.

1222
01:05:37,566 --> 01:05:40,803
They've held the RAW titles,
the SmackDown titles, the NXT titles.

1223
01:05:40,870 --> 01:05:43,439
But, Corey, Montez Ford,

1224
01:05:43,506 --> 01:05:47,043
Angelo Dawkins have not held gold
since 2021.

1225
01:05:47,109 --> 01:05:49,445
[Corey]
But I'll tell you what else is different

1226
01:05:49,512 --> 01:05:51,380
about Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins,

1227
01:05:51,447 --> 01:05:53,215
that being the presence of B-Fab

1228
01:05:53,282 --> 01:05:56,886
Since B-Fab came into the fold,
slowly but surely,

1229
01:05:56,953 --> 01:05:59,088
the Street Profits have become focused.

1230
01:05:59,155 --> 01:06:01,624
They've begun training harder than before.

1231
01:06:01,691 --> 01:06:05,895
Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are
a completely different, dare I day,

1232
01:06:05,962 --> 01:06:09,632
even better tag team,
than when they were Champions in the past.

1233
01:06:09,699 --> 01:06:11,701
[Cole] And again, no pinfalls,
submissions,

1234
01:06:11,767 --> 01:06:13,502
disqualifications, or count out.

1235
01:06:13,569 --> 01:06:15,071
You have to set up the ladder,

1236
01:06:15,137 --> 01:06:17,440
climb the ladder, grab the Tag Team titles

1237
01:06:18,007 --> 01:06:19,342
to win the gold.

1238
01:06:19,408 --> 01:06:21,510
Who's got the edge in this match, Corey?

1239
01:06:21,577 --> 01:06:24,146
[Corey] You know,
it's hard to bet against the Champions.

1240
01:06:24,213 --> 01:06:25,381
[bell dings]

1241
01:06:25,448 --> 01:06:29,018
Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa,
seven-time IWGP Tag Team Champions

1242
01:06:29,085 --> 01:06:30,920
in Japan, wasting absolutely no time

1243
01:06:30,986 --> 01:06:34,123
making their mark here
in WWE's Tag Team Division.

1244
01:06:34,190 --> 01:06:36,592
You can never bet against
the reigning Champions.

1245
01:06:36,659 --> 01:06:38,094
But, Cole, I'm honest with ya

1246
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,430
when I say I got a feeling
about the Street Profits.

1247
01:06:41,697 --> 01:06:43,632
[Cole]
I might agree with you on that point.

1248
01:06:43,699 --> 01:06:46,869
But, The Bloodline brothers' father
of course the great Haku.

1249
01:06:46,936 --> 01:06:48,771
And this matchup is now underway.

1250
01:06:48,971 --> 01:06:50,506
No tags in this match.

1251
01:06:50,573 --> 01:06:51,907
It's a free for all.

1252
01:06:52,341 --> 01:06:56,545
All six men in the ring,
same time, or around it, at least.

1253
01:06:57,380 --> 01:07:01,350
And the Prophets
and DIY staring up at the tag titles,

1254
01:07:01,417 --> 01:07:04,253
looking to fulfill
their destinies here tonight

1255
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,088
on Friday Night SmackDown.

1256
01:07:07,456 --> 01:07:11,360
Oh, and a Plow, Knee
from Ciampa to Tonga Loa

1257
01:07:11,727 --> 01:07:13,996
-[Corey] Board up over the top--
-[crowd] Oh!

1258
01:07:14,063 --> 01:07:16,866
[Corey] ...and just Kick Tama Tonga
right between the eyes.

1259
01:07:16,932 --> 01:07:19,268
[Cole] And Gargano
now with a Kick to Loa again,

1260
01:07:19,435 --> 01:07:22,471
keeping The Bloodline.
It looks like that's the early strategy.

1261
01:07:22,538 --> 01:07:24,106
-[Corey] Uh-oh!
-Oh, goodness,

1262
01:07:24,173 --> 01:07:26,042
Dawkins running right through!

1263
01:07:26,709 --> 01:07:30,046
[Corey] Sign them up.
Who's gonna win the Tag Team gold?

1264
01:07:33,416 --> 01:07:35,051
[Cole] Triple Threat Ladder Match

1265
01:07:35,117 --> 01:07:38,754
for the WW Tag Team title,
Street Profits, DIY, climbing the ladder,

1266
01:07:38,821 --> 01:07:40,156
trying to grab the gold.

1267
01:07:40,222 --> 01:07:42,825
They tried to take The Bloodline
out of this matchup,

1268
01:07:42,892 --> 01:07:44,060
but back into the ring.

1269
01:07:44,126 --> 01:07:48,564
Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, now all six men,
as they battle for the Tag Team gold.

1270
01:07:49,365 --> 01:07:53,269
[Corey] Both DIY and the Street Profits
taking their time climbing the ladders.

1271
01:07:53,335 --> 01:07:55,671
Because they were both
looking down, making sure

1272
01:07:55,738 --> 01:07:58,741
that the Champions were neutralized,
at least for the moment.

1273
01:07:58,808 --> 01:08:01,844
But Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa back
up and factoring in yet again.

1274
01:08:01,911 --> 01:08:04,780
[Cole] And now
The Bloodline, down goes DIY.

1275
01:08:04,847 --> 01:08:07,216
And the Street Profits,
Montez Ford and Dawkins,

1276
01:08:07,283 --> 01:08:09,852
come off the ladder
before it's knocked over.

1277
01:08:09,919 --> 01:08:13,122
The strategy early on for
The Profits and DIY, Corey,

1278
01:08:13,189 --> 01:08:15,891
was to take out the champs,
make it a two-team match.

1279
01:08:15,958 --> 01:08:16,892
Bang.

1280
01:08:16,959 --> 01:08:17,893
But--

1281
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:20,095
[Corey]
It's a brilliant strategy in theory.

1282
01:08:20,162 --> 01:08:21,797
In execution, maybe not so much.

1283
01:08:23,199 --> 01:08:26,869
[Cole] Montez Ford now flexing
his outrageous athleticism.

1284
01:08:26,936 --> 01:08:29,071
[Corey]
And look at him. Ford's gonna do it!

1285
01:08:29,138 --> 01:08:31,373
[Cole]
Flying up the ladder. But down he goes.

1286
01:08:31,440 --> 01:08:33,742
[Corey] Wow.
That would have been spectacular.

1287
01:08:33,809 --> 01:08:35,911
[Cole]
Oh, leaping over the ladder is Ford.

1288
01:08:35,978 --> 01:08:38,380
And that, this time, taken out.

1289
01:08:39,248 --> 01:08:42,284
The Bloodline using
the ladders as a weapon.

1290
01:08:42,351 --> 01:08:46,355
The situation like that
is right up Tama Tonga's alley

1291
01:08:46,422 --> 01:08:47,923
as well as Tonga Loa.

1292
01:08:47,990 --> 01:08:51,093
Yeah, very vicious,
very physical tag team.

1293
01:08:54,597 --> 01:08:57,066
When it comes to Tonga
Loa, this is all substance.

1294
01:08:57,133 --> 01:08:58,300
It's not about style.

1295
01:08:58,367 --> 01:09:00,936
Tama Tonga now looking to deposit

1296
01:09:01,003 --> 01:09:02,605
Ciampa's face into the ladder,

1297
01:09:02,905 --> 01:09:05,007
guerrilla warfare in the ring.

1298
01:09:05,207 --> 01:09:08,377
And Tonga just bludgeoning

1299
01:09:09,645 --> 01:09:10,913
Angelo Dawkins.

1300
01:09:12,148 --> 01:09:14,617
Now looking to use
the weapon again, the ladder,

1301
01:09:14,683 --> 01:09:16,085
and into the ladder.

1302
01:09:17,853 --> 01:09:20,389
And Tama Tonga up over the top.

1303
01:09:22,124 --> 01:09:25,494
Surprising athleticism
from the right hand man,

1304
01:09:25,561 --> 01:09:29,965
Tama Tonga, the infamous Tonga
Loa on the left of your screen,

1305
01:09:30,032 --> 01:09:34,170
the bludgeon of The Bloodline,
and The Tribal Chief,

1306
01:09:34,637 --> 01:09:38,340
Solo Sikoa, his enforcer, Jacob Fatu.

1307
01:09:38,407 --> 01:09:39,642
We know they're here.

1308
01:09:40,276 --> 01:09:42,978
They're looking on probably
with a smile on their face,

1309
01:09:43,045 --> 01:09:46,448
as The Bloodline tries to take
over this Ladder Match.

1310
01:09:46,515 --> 01:09:48,617
[Corey]
To that point, Cole, if you're DIY,

1311
01:09:48,684 --> 01:09:51,687
if you're the Street Prophet,
you basically had to strategize

1312
01:09:51,754 --> 01:09:54,323
ahead of the time.
It's almost a foregone conclusion

1313
01:09:54,390 --> 01:09:57,560
that you're gonna battle
more than two members of The Bloodline,

1314
01:09:57,626 --> 01:09:59,828
no matter which two
you're scheduled to face.

1315
01:09:59,895 --> 01:10:03,499
[Cole] You saw in the early going,
the Prophets and DIY almost teaming up

1316
01:10:03,566 --> 01:10:06,769
in the early part of this Ladder Match
to take out The Bloodline.

1317
01:10:06,835 --> 01:10:08,571
They realized what's at stake.

1318
01:10:09,939 --> 01:10:13,209
All the teams
in this match have held Tag Team gold.

1319
01:10:13,275 --> 01:10:15,311
They understand the importance of it.

1320
01:10:16,011 --> 01:10:18,380
Ciampa again wrecked by a ladder.

1321
01:10:19,615 --> 01:10:21,083
-Whoa!
-[Corey] Are you kidding me?!

1322
01:10:21,150 --> 01:10:22,918
[Cole] Dawkins, you maniac!

1323
01:10:22,985 --> 01:10:25,621
[Corey] Dawkins launching
himself over the top rope,

1324
01:10:25,688 --> 01:10:27,690
taking out the ladder and The Bloodline,

1325
01:10:27,990 --> 01:10:30,559
at great cost to his own well-being.

1326
01:10:30,626 --> 01:10:32,328
And here comes Johnny wrestling.

1327
01:10:32,394 --> 01:10:34,797
[Cole] Gargano with a Suicide Dive.

1328
01:10:36,098 --> 01:10:37,566
[crowd murmuring]

1329
01:10:38,968 --> 01:10:41,737
[Corey] Montez Ford gonna fly!

1330
01:10:42,204 --> 01:10:43,572
[crowd cheering]

1331
01:10:44,573 --> 01:10:46,075
Bodies everywhere!

1332
01:10:51,347 --> 01:10:55,651
Take another look at this,
first Angelo Dawkins sacrificing

1333
01:10:55,718 --> 01:11:00,022
his own body to take out the opposition.

1334
01:11:00,089 --> 01:11:03,959
And then Montez Ford doing it with style.

1335
01:11:04,026 --> 01:11:06,428
[Cole] Dawkins is like a flying bus,

1336
01:11:07,196 --> 01:11:10,633
over the top rope,
taking out a ladder and The Bloodline.

1337
01:11:11,634 --> 01:11:13,168
[chants from the crowd]

1338
01:11:15,004 --> 01:11:16,739
There you see B-Fab on the outside,

1339
01:11:16,805 --> 01:11:20,342
trying to keep her men in line,
trying to help figure out the next step

1340
01:11:20,409 --> 01:11:21,677
for Ford and Dawkins.

1341
01:11:23,212 --> 01:11:26,148
-Get that table Let's get 'em.
-[Cole] They're trying to--

1342
01:11:27,916 --> 01:11:29,285
[Corey] There we go.

1343
01:11:29,351 --> 01:11:31,387
[Cole] --trying to fire up Montez Ford.

1344
01:11:33,022 --> 01:11:34,690
[Corey] And for all these months,

1345
01:11:34,757 --> 01:11:37,226
that may have been
what the Prophets were missing,

1346
01:11:37,293 --> 01:11:38,360
that killer instinct.

1347
01:11:38,427 --> 01:11:41,130
B-fab not afraid
to tell her men what needs to be done.

1348
01:11:41,196 --> 01:11:42,131
Let's do the job.

1349
01:11:42,197 --> 01:11:43,132
[cheering]

1350
01:11:43,198 --> 01:11:46,835
[Cole] That's what Montez is looking for,
get the tables, Tez.

1351
01:11:46,902 --> 01:11:48,370
Ladder Match continues!

1352
01:11:51,740 --> 01:11:54,376
[Cole] Things have been
fast and furious, vicious,

1353
01:11:54,443 --> 01:11:56,879
and aggressive,
Triple Threat Tag Team match,

1354
01:11:57,179 --> 01:12:01,350
a Ladder Match
for the WWE Tag Team titles.

1355
01:12:01,417 --> 01:12:04,653
Nobody's even really come close
to climbing the ladder yet, Corey.

1356
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:06,922
[Corey]
It has been chaos at the ground level

1357
01:12:06,989 --> 01:12:08,657
for the most part in this match.

1358
01:12:08,724 --> 01:12:11,126
Tama Tonga, the right hand man,
making the ascent

1359
01:12:11,193 --> 01:12:14,096
-to the top of the ladder.
-[Cole] DIY trying to intercept,

1360
01:12:14,163 --> 01:12:16,065
play defense here, Gargano and Ciampa.

1361
01:12:16,131 --> 01:12:19,601
-And Tama Tonga-- Oh!
-[Cole] Oh! Shatter Machine!

1362
01:12:19,668 --> 01:12:20,803
[Corey] Good night!

1363
01:12:22,671 --> 01:12:25,974
Double Knees right to the heart
of Tama Tonga.

1364
01:12:26,041 --> 01:12:28,444
Can Gargano and Ciampa capitalize?

1365
01:12:29,778 --> 01:12:31,547
[Cole] It could be their opportunity.

1366
01:12:32,915 --> 01:12:36,085
Gargano, Ciampa,
looking for meet in the middle!

1367
01:12:36,151 --> 01:12:39,755
But Gargano was dragged out
of the ring by Tonga Loa.

1368
01:12:40,356 --> 01:12:42,591
[Corey]
And just that quickly, the powerhouse,

1369
01:12:42,658 --> 01:12:44,860
Tonga Loa, change the complexion

1370
01:12:44,927 --> 01:12:46,628
of this Triple Threat Ladder Match.

1371
01:12:51,066 --> 01:12:53,268
[Cole] And now
The Bloodline look to regroup.

1372
01:12:56,839 --> 01:13:00,242
Gargano and Ciampa suffering the effects
of the ladder attack.

1373
01:13:00,809 --> 01:13:04,480
This slower pace works for The Bloodline.

1374
01:13:06,715 --> 01:13:09,051
-Trust me, Tonga Loa--
-[Corey] Uh oh.

1375
01:13:09,118 --> 01:13:12,621
-[Cole] ...can be explosive as anybody--
-Uh oh, doesn't wanna be there.

1376
01:13:12,688 --> 01:13:14,656
[Cole] ...when the moment calls.
But now...

1377
01:13:14,723 --> 01:13:19,962
[Corey] Ladder wrapped around his neck,
DIY with Meet in the Middle!

1378
01:13:20,028 --> 01:13:22,631
[Cole yelling] Oh! Oh, my God!

1379
01:13:22,698 --> 01:13:24,500
[Corey] Lucky he wasn't decapitated.

1380
01:13:24,867 --> 01:13:27,269
Meet in the Middle by DIY!

1381
01:13:27,669 --> 01:13:31,073
Somebody climb a ladder!
Johnny, this is your chance!

1382
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:35,411
[Cole] And Gargano, realizing that,
trying to set the ladder up.

1383
01:13:36,245 --> 01:13:39,481
Ring is pretty much empty,
except for Ciampa and Gargano.

1384
01:13:39,681 --> 01:13:41,483
[Corey] On the far side of the ring,

1385
01:13:41,550 --> 01:13:43,752
you could see B-Fab
and the panic in her eyes

1386
01:13:43,819 --> 01:13:46,622
as she realizes
the Street Profits' best shot is slipping

1387
01:13:46,688 --> 01:13:47,823
through their fingers.

1388
01:13:47,890 --> 01:13:49,892
[Cole] Gargano to the top of the ladder.

1389
01:13:49,958 --> 01:13:53,429
Angelo Dawkins now rips Gargano
off the ladder, delivers a Right Hand.

1390
01:13:53,495 --> 01:13:55,197
Dawkins opportunity, perhaps.

1391
01:13:55,264 --> 01:13:57,800
Gargano with a Kick right to the face.

1392
01:13:58,066 --> 01:13:59,434
-There it is!
-[Corey] Oh!

1393
01:13:59,501 --> 01:14:01,437
-[Cole] Slingshot Spear!
-Got 'em!

1394
01:14:02,404 --> 01:14:05,207
And a Knee by Ciampa rocks Dawkins.

1395
01:14:05,707 --> 01:14:07,042
Incredible action here.

1396
01:14:08,510 --> 01:14:09,878
Now it's Ciampa.

1397
01:14:10,612 --> 01:14:13,382
Chaos, panic, disorder.

1398
01:14:13,449 --> 01:14:16,318
You expected it. This match is delivering.

1399
01:14:16,385 --> 01:14:18,420
[Cole] Ciampa trying to climb the ladder,

1400
01:14:18,487 --> 01:14:19,521
trying to shake a--

1401
01:14:19,822 --> 01:14:21,990
[Corey]
Shake the feeling back into his leg.

1402
01:14:22,057 --> 01:14:25,060
[Cole] Dawkins looking
to rip Ciampa off the ladder. He does.

1403
01:14:25,227 --> 01:14:27,963
A Big Right Hand
right on the nose of Ciampa.

1404
01:14:29,531 --> 01:14:32,367
And another one by Dawkins.
Ciampa's down to a knee.

1405
01:14:32,434 --> 01:14:35,204
[Corey] Dawkins has dynamite
in that right hand of his.

1406
01:14:37,272 --> 01:14:39,975
[Corey] Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no.
It's-- but Ciampa--

1407
01:14:40,042 --> 01:14:42,711
Ciampa's up on Dawkins'-
up on Dawkins' shoulder.

1408
01:14:42,778 --> 01:14:44,346
Montez Ford!

1409
01:14:46,648 --> 01:14:50,052
-You gotta be kidding me!
-[Cole] Oh, oh-ho, my God!

1410
01:14:50,118 --> 01:14:52,688
[Corey] A Blockbuster over the ladder,

1411
01:14:52,754 --> 01:14:54,389
taking out Ciampa!

1412
01:14:54,723 --> 01:14:56,325
Lucky he didn't kill himself!

1413
01:14:57,359 --> 01:15:00,963
That was almost disastrous
for Montez Ford.

1414
01:15:01,296 --> 01:15:04,233
It's tough to tell
who got the worst of this exchange.

1415
01:15:04,299 --> 01:15:07,002
The ladder presented an obstacle.

1416
01:15:07,069 --> 01:15:10,672
Ford misjudged it
just a quarter of a step.

1417
01:15:10,739 --> 01:15:14,943
But still, the impact high
on the top of the shoulders

1418
01:15:15,010 --> 01:15:18,413
and-- and the base
of Ciampa's neck, my Lord,

1419
01:15:18,480 --> 01:15:19,815
like a car crash.

1420
01:15:20,148 --> 01:15:22,251
[Cole] There are bodies everywhere.

1421
01:15:22,317 --> 01:15:24,486
Ladder Match for the tag titles.

1422
01:15:26,722 --> 01:15:28,557
Who's gonna climb the ladder?

1423
01:15:29,024 --> 01:15:33,061
Who's gonna take the gold
on the eve of Bad Blood?

1424
01:15:33,395 --> 01:15:36,198
[Corey] Angelo Dawkins has daylight.

1425
01:15:36,398 --> 01:15:39,101
[Cole] Dawkins climbing
up to the top of the ladder.

1426
01:15:39,167 --> 01:15:40,836
Prophets could be closing in

1427
01:15:41,136 --> 01:15:43,272
on a fourth Tag Team Championship reign.

1428
01:15:43,338 --> 01:15:44,806
But Tama Tonga,

1429
01:15:46,508 --> 01:15:49,478
tremendous closing speed from Tama Tonga,

1430
01:15:49,545 --> 01:15:52,114
covering a lot of ground
in a short period of time.

1431
01:15:52,180 --> 01:15:55,417
Now Dawkins just set outside the ring.
A headbutt by Tonga Loa.

1432
01:15:55,484 --> 01:15:58,587
Tama Tonga now barking orders out at Loa.

1433
01:16:01,456 --> 01:16:03,392
Loa's got something nefarious in mind--

1434
01:16:03,458 --> 01:16:04,793
-[Corey] Oh, my God.
-Yikes.

1435
01:16:04,860 --> 01:16:07,162
[Corey]
Now dumping the ladder outside the ring

1436
01:16:07,229 --> 01:16:08,530
right here in front of us.

1437
01:16:08,597 --> 01:16:11,833
Angelo Dawkins-- look out, Cole.

1438
01:16:12,568 --> 01:16:13,902
Back him up!

1439
01:16:16,271 --> 01:16:19,074
[Cole]
Tonga Loa now in control of Dawkins.

1440
01:16:20,342 --> 01:16:22,644
I don't know
where the hell Tama Tonga's going,

1441
01:16:22,711 --> 01:16:25,380
but under the ring
with a steel chair in hand.

1442
01:16:25,447 --> 01:16:29,117
Completely legal,
no disqualification in a Ladder Match.

1443
01:16:29,952 --> 01:16:33,655
[Corey] Angelo Dawkins is
essentially out on his feet right now.

1444
01:16:35,257 --> 01:16:36,925
-And B-Fab--
-[Cole] There we go.

1445
01:16:36,992 --> 01:16:39,094
[Corey] B-Fab from behind Sammy Dawkins.

1446
01:16:41,730 --> 01:16:43,765
Oh, but look out behind.

1447
01:16:43,832 --> 01:16:47,803
Chairs to the back
of The Bloodline by DIY!

1448
01:16:48,637 --> 01:16:50,806
Totally legal in a Ladder Match.

1449
01:16:51,006 --> 01:16:54,943
Ciampa and Gargano now laying waste
to the Champions.

1450
01:16:55,010 --> 01:16:56,912
[Cole] Corey, we talked about revenge.

1451
01:16:56,979 --> 01:16:58,380
We talked about retribution.

1452
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:01,516
Think about what The Bloodline has done
to Gargano and Ciampa,

1453
01:17:01,583 --> 01:17:03,585
what they've done to the Street Profits,

1454
01:17:03,652 --> 01:17:05,120
to half the damn locker room.

1455
01:17:05,187 --> 01:17:07,489
And The Bloodline paying
for it here tonight.

1456
01:17:10,659 --> 01:17:14,930
DIY trying to position
Tonga Loa onto the table,

1457
01:17:16,331 --> 01:17:20,702
-raining down Right Jabs.
-[Corey] And nutty Gargano is telling--

1458
01:17:20,769 --> 01:17:23,171
-is telling Tez to go up top!
-[Cole] No.

1459
01:17:24,639 --> 01:17:26,074
No, Tez, no.

1460
01:17:28,343 --> 01:17:29,678
[Corey] Lo is in trouble.

1461
01:17:29,745 --> 01:17:31,413
Montez Ford...

1462
01:17:33,015 --> 01:17:34,082
from the top--

1463
01:17:34,149 --> 01:17:35,083
[cheering]

1464
01:17:35,150 --> 01:17:37,386
From The Heavens, through the table,

1465
01:17:38,453 --> 01:17:43,325
driving Tonga Loa
from the heavens straight to hell!

1466
01:17:46,495 --> 01:17:49,331
And now Ciampa ripping
apart our announce table.

1467
01:17:49,631 --> 01:17:50,932
DIY!

1468
01:17:50,999 --> 01:17:52,868
This is what it's gonna take.

1469
01:17:52,934 --> 01:17:54,336
This is what it's gonna take

1470
01:17:54,403 --> 01:17:57,939
for the Profits or DIY to knock off
The Bloodline,

1471
01:17:58,907 --> 01:18:00,375
beat them at their own game.

1472
01:18:00,442 --> 01:18:02,377
[Cole] Tama Tonga trying to fight back,

1473
01:18:02,444 --> 01:18:03,545
trying to fight back.

1474
01:18:03,612 --> 01:18:05,080
But it's a mugging.

1475
01:18:05,147 --> 01:18:08,650
It's the numbers game now,
reversed on The Bloodline.

1476
01:18:08,717 --> 01:18:11,086
DIY, Dawkins.

1477
01:18:11,420 --> 01:18:13,088
Oh, yeah, you already know.

1478
01:18:15,290 --> 01:18:19,695
[Corey] DIY and the Street Profits
attempting to coordinate the chaos.

1479
01:18:20,395 --> 01:18:21,963
[Cole] Oh, this is apropos.

1480
01:18:26,668 --> 01:18:29,337
Tama Tonga through the table!

1481
01:18:31,039 --> 01:18:33,041
The Bloodline are down!

1482
01:18:33,675 --> 01:18:38,080
The Profits and DIY
with retribution tonight!

1483
01:18:38,146 --> 01:18:40,148
[Corey] Dawkins just let out a primal--

1484
01:18:40,215 --> 01:18:43,285
[Cole] Oh!
And now the DIY turning on Dawkins

1485
01:18:43,351 --> 01:18:45,454
because it's about the tag titles!

1486
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,490
It's every team for themselves,
Triple Threat Match to win

1487
01:18:48,557 --> 01:18:50,459
the Tag Team Championship!

1488
01:18:50,525 --> 01:18:53,628
And Gargano and Ciampa
with a ladder in the ring!

1489
01:18:54,730 --> 01:18:59,267
[Corey] DIY unimpeded
with a trio of ladders in place.

1490
01:18:59,735 --> 01:19:02,170
[Cole]
It's what their moniker means, Corey.

1491
01:19:02,237 --> 01:19:03,538
Do it yourself.

1492
01:19:04,406 --> 01:19:07,175
That's what Ciampa
and Gargano are gonna do,

1493
01:19:07,242 --> 01:19:08,543
climb the ladder.

1494
01:19:09,344 --> 01:19:12,881
Climb the ladder, with the tag title!

1495
01:19:12,948 --> 01:19:15,550
-But now it's Montez Ford top rope...
-[cheering]

1496
01:19:16,017 --> 01:19:19,554
...leaps onto the ladder,
incredible feat of athleticism!

1497
01:19:19,621 --> 01:19:21,389
Both men top of the ladder!

1498
01:19:21,456 --> 01:19:23,291
Angelo Dawkins in fray.

1499
01:19:23,525 --> 01:19:24,793
He's climbing the ladder.

1500
01:19:24,860 --> 01:19:27,129
[Corey]
We got a title fight on the top rungs.

1501
01:19:27,195 --> 01:19:29,097
[Cole] Gargano's climbing the ladder!

1502
01:19:29,164 --> 01:19:32,434
All four men on the ladder,
closing in on the tag titles!

1503
01:19:32,968 --> 01:19:35,103
[Corey] This is not gonna end well.

1504
01:19:35,837 --> 01:19:38,440
[Cole] Who's gonna win
the Tag Team Championship?

1505
01:19:39,841 --> 01:19:40,909
Is anyone gonna win?

1506
01:19:40,976 --> 01:19:42,777
-This is about survival.
-[Corey] No!

1507
01:19:42,844 --> 01:19:45,213
[crowd rumbles echoing] Ohh!

1508
01:19:46,148 --> 01:19:48,150
[Cole] Tonga Loa back in!

1509
01:19:48,216 --> 01:19:50,685
Gargano and Tez for a ladder.

1510
01:19:50,752 --> 01:19:53,622
Ladders broken, crashes everywhere!

1511
01:19:53,688 --> 01:19:55,490
Bloodline setting the ladder up!

1512
01:19:55,557 --> 01:19:59,094
[booing]

1513
01:19:59,161 --> 01:20:00,695
Loa climbing.

1514
01:20:00,762 --> 01:20:04,199
Tama Tonga dragging himself
back into the ring,

1515
01:20:06,835 --> 01:20:09,137
dragging themselves up the ladder,

1516
01:20:11,106 --> 01:20:13,008
and an arm's length away.

1517
01:20:14,176 --> 01:20:18,046
Tonga Loa up top, Tama
Tonga balancing the ladder.

1518
01:20:18,346 --> 01:20:22,117
Tonga Loa with his hands
on the Tag Team titles.

1519
01:20:23,151 --> 01:20:24,753
The damn Bloodline...

1520
01:20:24,820 --> 01:20:26,922
-[bell dings]
-...rule again!

1521
01:20:30,025 --> 01:20:32,994
[Alicia] Here are your winners.

1522
01:20:33,061 --> 01:20:36,631
And still the WWE

1523
01:20:36,698 --> 01:20:40,468
Tag Team Champions:

1524
01:20:40,535 --> 01:20:43,171
The Bloodline!

1525
01:20:43,471 --> 01:20:45,040
[Cole] Corey, there is a reason

1526
01:20:45,106 --> 01:20:48,443
we haven't had a Ladder Match
on SmackDown in five years.

1527
01:20:48,510 --> 01:20:51,613
This is absolutely insanity.

1528
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:56,251
[Corey] Insanity,
brutality, high risk, high reward.

1529
01:20:56,318 --> 01:20:59,087
The result remains the same.

1530
01:20:59,154 --> 01:21:03,825
Those who dare step up
to Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa

1531
01:21:03,892 --> 01:21:06,795
all meet the same fate,

1532
01:21:07,562 --> 01:21:10,031
falling at the feet of the Champions.

1533
01:21:10,098 --> 01:21:12,200
[Cole] This is something from the heavens.

1534
01:21:12,267 --> 01:21:16,271
Montez Ford driving
Tonga Loa through a table.

1535
01:21:16,338 --> 01:21:17,239
[cheering]

1536
01:21:17,305 --> 01:21:20,475
[Corey] And Montez Ford knew
he was gonna have to go big.

1537
01:21:20,542 --> 01:21:23,044
The Profits knew it. DIY knew it.

1538
01:21:23,111 --> 01:21:26,214
Tama Tonga driven straight
through our announce table.

1539
01:21:26,281 --> 01:21:29,918
Surely that would take Tama
out of the equation, right?

1540
01:21:29,985 --> 01:21:31,686
-[crowd] Oh!
-[Corey] Nope.

1541
01:21:33,288 --> 01:21:36,358
The closing moments, Tonga Loa shoving

1542
01:21:36,424 --> 01:21:40,328
both Gargano and Ford off
of the ladder through another.

1543
01:21:41,129 --> 01:21:42,697
And you don't have to like it.

1544
01:21:43,164 --> 01:21:45,033
You just have to accept it.

1545
01:21:47,369 --> 01:21:50,171
The body count continues to rise

1546
01:21:50,505 --> 01:21:54,276
for Tama Tonga
and Tonga Loa of The Bloodline.

1547
01:21:54,342 --> 01:21:58,780
[Cole] Will the body count continue
to rise tomorrow night in Atlanta,

1548
01:21:58,847 --> 01:22:03,485
as The Tribal Chief Solo Sikoa,
his enforcer, Jacob Fatu,

1549
01:22:03,551 --> 01:22:07,155
walk down to the ring to celebrate
with the Tag Team Champions.

1550
01:22:07,222 --> 01:22:12,627
Tomorrow night,
Solo Sikoa looks to solidify his role

1551
01:22:12,694 --> 01:22:18,099
as Tribal Chief, with his enforcer,
Jacob Fatu, at his side,

1552
01:22:18,166 --> 01:22:21,269
against the original
Tribal Chief Roman Reigns,

1553
01:22:21,336 --> 01:22:24,706
teaming with his long-time rival,
Cody Rhodes.

1554
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:28,276
It is the in-ring match return

1555
01:22:28,343 --> 01:22:31,780
for the first time since WrestleMania,
of Roman Reigns.

1556
01:22:31,846 --> 01:22:34,683
It is a special start time
of 6:00 Eastern,

1557
01:22:34,749 --> 01:22:40,455
