and then Kevin Owens would assault
Randy Orton, Corey,

with a move that is
banned for many years in WWE.

Yeah? A Piledriver.

72
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:11,110
There's a reason why
that move is outlawed in this company,

73
00:05:11,377 --> 00:05:16,015
because we don't want this generation
ending up in wheelchairs in 20 years.

But you know, I know.

00:05:26,192 --> 00:05:30,263
Yeah, we do whatever it takes to make
the big paydays to win the Championships,

79
00:05:30,463 --> 00:05:32,231
but we don't cross that line.

80
00:05:32,298 --> 00:05:34,200
And Kevin crossed that line,

81
00:05:35,001 --> 00:05:36,602
and that's all there is to it.

82
00:05:36,936 --> 00:05:37,937

101

I--

113
00:07:29,816 --> 00:07:34,353
I know that in your role,
you have to be objective.

114
00:07:34,420 --> 00:07:36,422
You have to be dispassionate.

126
00:08:04,217 --> 00:08:06,118
that you have to tell them, well,

127
00:08:06,185 --> 00:08:10,907
Kevin Owens is telling everybody
under the sun, it's because of me.

WrestleMania 40 is the highlight
of my life, professionally and personally.

You know a moment
that happened in that ring?

130
00:08:18,731 --> 00:08:21,284
I was on Randy Orton's shoulders.
I dropped down to the mat.

131
00:08:21,367 --> 00:08:23,202
He looked me in the eyes and he said,

132
00:08:25,404 --> 00:08:28,391
hey, Code Man, I'm proud of you.

133
00:08:30,293 --> 00:08:35,932
And as much
as I loathe the nickname Code Man,

134
00:08:36,282 --> 00:08:39,018
it's a moment that I will cherish forever

135
00:08:39,085 --> 00:08:43,005
because that's
what Randy Orton means to me.

136
00:08:43,890 --> 00:08:45,825
So now, he's been put on the shelf.

Time he might not have had.
And again, that's because--

139
00:08:52,632 --> 00:08:54,066
that's because of me?

Bayley!

189
00:11:27,787 --> 00:11:31,223
You know this woman, Bayley,
has accomplished just about everything

190
00:11:31,290 --> 00:11:33,426
in building a resume
that could eventually lead

191
00:11:33,492 --> 00:11:34,460

She is the reigning and first ever

in the very, very near future.

223
00:13:54,583 --> 00:13:57,887
B-Fab has to be considered a wild card
in this entire tournament.

224
00:13:57,970 --> 00:14:00,239
We are extremely familiar with B-Fab

225
00:14:00,306 --> 00:14:03,976
in a managerial role, outside
in the corner of The Street Profits.

226
00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:08,147
B-Fab herself has been
chomping at the bit for an opportunity

00:14:08,214 --> 00:14:09,982

00:14:10,049 --> 00:14:12,184
-Well, tonight's your night, B-Fab.
-[Cole] Yeah.

229
00:14:12,251 --> 00:14:14,620
The WWe's chief content officer, Triple H,

230
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,625
said the women of WWE continue to show
that they are the best in the business,

231
00:14:19,725 --> 00:14:22,895
and the Women's United States
Championship will showcase

232
00:14:22,962 --> 00:14:25,664
those continued efforts. So here we go.

00:14:25,748 --> 00:14:27,333
First match up of the tournament.

234
00:14:27,399 --> 00:14:31,604

taking out Bayley out of the gate.

00:14:35,207 --> 00:14:38,143
Of course, a great deal of history
between LeRae and Bayley.

00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:40,279
-Arguably, a smart strategy-
-[Cole] Ooh.

And a kick-out by Candice LeRae.

245
00:15:02,901 --> 00:15:06,171
B-Fab has been training
with Dawkins and Montez Ford

for this big opportunity tonight.

247
00:15:09,842 --> 00:15:11,944
[Cole]
I really don't think it can be overstated

248
00:15:12,011 --> 00:15:13,479
how valuable being a Manager

249
00:15:13,545 --> 00:15:16,115
for a successful team can be
as a competitor.

250
00:15:16,181 --> 00:15:20,419
Some of the greats through history
have learned the psychology of this game,

251
00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:23,756
learned how to strategize,
how to call an audible on the fly

252
00:15:23,806 --> 00:15:26,725
if your strategy isn't working,
just from looking on constantly.

253
00:15:26,792 --> 00:15:29,461
That's what B-Fab had at her disposal
with The Street Profits.

254
00:15:29,528 --> 00:15:32,131
[Cole] Big kick by B-Fab.
Bayley, back up to the apron now.

255
00:15:32,197 --> 00:15:35,768
Bayley, of course, has accomplished
everything in her career.

256
00:15:36,935 --> 00:15:40,239
From a four-time Women's World Champ,
two-time Women's Tag Champ.

257
00:15:40,306 --> 00:15:43,575
[Corey] She's accomplished everything
that has been available to this point.

258
00:15:43,626 --> 00:15:45,744
-This is a whole new mountain for--
-[Cole] Oh!

259
00:15:45,811 --> 00:15:47,896
And a double clothesline by B-Fab.

260
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:49,148
Looking great.

261
00:15:49,214 --> 00:15:53,118
Who's gonna advance at the Women's
United States Championship Tournament?

262
00:15:57,473 --> 00:16:00,192
And as you saw, tremendous action
during the commercial break.

263
00:16:00,259 --> 00:16:02,995
Triple Threat Match to determine
who advances in the tournament

264
00:16:03,062 --> 00:16:05,831
to crown the first ever
Women's United States Champion.

265
00:16:05,931 --> 00:16:09,468
And Bayley now, with an elbow to the back
of the neck of B-Fab. Will it be Bayley?

266
00:16:09,535 --> 00:16:13,722
Cover now. Hook of the leg,
Candice LeRae breaks things up.

267
00:16:15,808 --> 00:16:18,477
Take another look at Bayley,
soaring from the middle rope,

268
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,281
dropping her elbow
right across the spine of B-Fab.

269
00:16:23,098 --> 00:16:26,585
How apropos on the birthday
of the legendary "Macho Man"

270
00:16:26,652 --> 00:16:27,720
Randy Savage.

271
00:16:27,803 --> 00:16:31,991
And there's a look at the beautiful
Women's United States Championship.

272
00:16:32,491 --> 00:16:35,094
[Corey] An extremely coveted title
that has not yet been held

273
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,429
because all of the women
in this division understand

274
00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:39,832
what is at stake.
Look back through the history

275
00:16:39,898 --> 00:16:44,103
of all the great United States Champions,
from Harley Race to John Cena.

276
00:16:44,303 --> 00:16:48,507
It can truly launch your career
to a whole new stratosphere,

277
00:16:48,574 --> 00:16:49,958
becoming United States Champion.

278
00:16:50,042 --> 00:16:52,778
And all of the women in this tournament
and beyond realize that.

279
00:16:52,878 --> 00:16:54,980
[Cole] Oh! All three women down.

280
00:16:55,047 --> 00:16:57,850
First woman to gain pinfall
or submission will win this match up.

281
00:16:57,916 --> 00:16:59,985
And at that point, Corey, this is historic

282
00:17:00,052 --> 00:17:03,122
because for the first time
ever on RAW or SmackDown,

283
00:17:03,172 --> 00:17:07,059
there will be a women's
non-world title in play.

284
00:17:07,142 --> 00:17:09,161
That's singles Championship-wise.

285
00:17:09,244 --> 00:17:11,230
It's never happened before
on RAW or SmackDown.

286
00:17:19,455 --> 00:17:22,141
[cheering]

287
00:17:24,143 --> 00:17:25,577
[Corey] Oh!

288
00:17:26,712 --> 00:17:31,216
Cover. Cover now by LeRae
and Bayley kicks-out at two.

289
00:17:31,266 --> 00:17:33,585
LeRae looking to advance
in the tournament.

290
00:17:33,635 --> 00:17:35,287
B-Fab kicks out as well.

291
00:17:35,954 --> 00:17:39,324
[Cole] LeRae, who's been complaining
for weeks, her jealousy over Bayley,

292
00:17:39,391 --> 00:17:41,460
the fact that Bayley's got
a lot of opportunities

293
00:17:41,527 --> 00:17:42,928
Candice believes she deserved.

294
00:17:42,995 --> 00:17:45,397
And a chance tonight
to put that all to rest,

295
00:17:45,464 --> 00:17:46,632
as you take another look.

296
00:17:46,682 --> 00:17:48,434
[Corey] Nobody will question the ability

297
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:52,004
of The Poison Pixie,
as she just reminded the WWE Universe.

298
00:17:52,054 --> 00:17:54,623
And now LeRae,
making the long climb to the top.

299
00:17:55,507 --> 00:17:57,176
B-Fab cuts her off at the pass.

300
00:17:57,242 --> 00:17:59,244
[Cole]
And B-Fab now, with forearms to LeRae.

301
00:17:59,311 --> 00:18:01,346
B-Fab looks great in this matchup so far.

302
00:18:01,430 --> 00:18:02,881
LeRae, though, creates space.

303
00:18:02,948 --> 00:18:06,185
Candice now, looking to head up
to the top rope and Bayley met her there.

304
00:18:06,251 --> 00:18:08,654
[Corey] Well,
that's the thing about opportunity in WWE.

305
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:09,755
You have to be prepared.

306
00:18:09,822 --> 00:18:11,990
You have to be careful
because you just may get it,

307
00:18:12,057 --> 00:18:13,158
and you may only get one.

308
00:18:13,225 --> 00:18:15,694
B-Fab understands the
assignment tonight, but Bayley,

309
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:16,895
in control of this one.

310
00:18:19,832 --> 00:18:22,668
-[Cole] And B-Fab--
-[Corey] Oh, maybe I spoke too soon.

311
00:18:22,734 --> 00:18:25,504
[Cole] High risk here-- Wow!

312
00:18:25,671 --> 00:18:27,856
-Everybody down.
-[Corey] No cover.

313
00:18:27,906 --> 00:18:30,542
[Cole] LeRae on Bayley,
and B-Fab breaks it up.

314
00:18:30,609 --> 00:18:32,478
Almost stolen there.

315
00:18:32,528 --> 00:18:35,531
[Corey]
Unbelievable awareness by Candice LeRae,

316
00:18:35,581 --> 00:18:37,116
able to shift her weight.

317
00:18:37,182 --> 00:18:40,152
Let's take another look
at the last possible second

318
00:18:40,202 --> 00:18:42,454
so that she ends up in a lateral press.

319
00:18:42,521 --> 00:18:44,389
Thankfully, B-Fab had the wherewithal

320
00:18:44,456 --> 00:18:47,893
to keep this matchup going,
but kudos to Candice LeRae.

321
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,461
[Cole] And now, a frustrated LeRae,

322
00:18:49,528 --> 00:18:51,997
upset over the fact
that B-Fab cost her an opportunity

323
00:18:52,047 --> 00:18:55,684
to advance in the Women's
United States Championship Tournament.

324
00:18:56,702 --> 00:18:59,371
LeRae, a former tag team Champion in NXT.

325
00:18:59,438 --> 00:19:01,907
Corey mentioned,
first ever speed Champion--

326
00:19:01,990 --> 00:19:06,278
And B-Fab, taking down LeRae
for an opportunity to advance,

327
00:19:06,345 --> 00:19:07,412
and LeRae kicks-out.

328
00:19:07,496 --> 00:19:08,780
I guess you'd have to believe

329
00:19:08,847 --> 00:19:10,916
that would'a been
a mild upset there, Corey.

330
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:14,186
[Corey] I certainly don't think
anybody had their money on B-Fab

331
00:19:14,486 --> 00:19:17,840
prior to this matchup,
for only lack of familiarity.

332
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:20,008
But now, the WWE Universe is learning

333
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,511
what B-Fab- is all about!

334
00:19:22,561 --> 00:19:23,612
Into the cover.

335
00:19:23,695 --> 00:19:25,063
[Cole] Inverted neckbreaker.

336
00:19:25,130 --> 00:19:26,648
Bayley kicks at two.

337
00:19:27,766 --> 00:19:30,986
[Corey] And now, we'll find out
exactly what B-Fab is made of.

338
00:19:31,036 --> 00:19:32,387
We are in the deep waters.

339
00:19:32,471 --> 00:19:34,273
This is where she wanted to be,

340
00:19:34,339 --> 00:19:36,275
as we take another look
at that facebuster.

341
00:19:36,642 --> 00:19:38,944
B-Fab, proving she can swim
with the sharks.

342
00:19:39,027 --> 00:19:40,679
[Cole] And now Bayley, connecting!

343
00:19:40,762 --> 00:19:43,882
[Corey] Bayley to Belly
but here comes LeRae to capitalize.

344
00:19:43,949 --> 00:19:46,585
[Cole] And Candice, smart,
will take advantage of the belly.

345
00:19:46,652 --> 00:19:47,619
Uh-oh!

346
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:51,056
Countered by B-Fab.
Almost had her, and LeRae kicks-out.

347
00:19:51,490 --> 00:19:52,875
Bayley, and the Bayley to Belly,

348
00:19:52,925 --> 00:19:56,195
and LeRae almost took advantage
and stole one again there.

349
00:19:58,747 --> 00:20:01,700
[Corey] Poison Pixie,
with a boot right in the mouth of B-Fab.

350
00:20:01,767 --> 00:20:04,203
-There's a moonsault. Nobody home.
-[Cole] Yeah.

351
00:20:04,269 --> 00:20:05,554
B-Fab moved out of harm's way.

352
00:20:05,637 --> 00:20:06,889
Bayley now, into the ring.

353
00:20:07,606 --> 00:20:10,375
LeRae, sent into the second turnbuckle.

354
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:12,644
And now, B-Fab with a right.

355
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,684
And B-Fab,
with a slam to Bayley-- for the win!

356
00:20:18,717 --> 00:20:20,435
Candice LeRae, however,

357
00:20:21,787 --> 00:20:23,822
pulling B-Fab off the cover.

358
00:20:24,590 --> 00:20:27,726
B-Fab, dumping the Poison Pixie
out to the apron and a boot.

359
00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:30,195
Down goes LeRae.

360
00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:33,949
And now, B-Fab, back in the fight.

361
00:20:35,384 --> 00:20:38,036
Went for the big kick.
Bayley, though, rolls up B-Fab.

362
00:20:38,103 --> 00:20:39,671
Shoulders are down, stacks her up.

363
00:20:39,738 --> 00:20:41,373
-Bayley advances!
-[bell ringing]

364
00:20:43,642 --> 00:20:45,344
[Alicia] Here is your winner.

365
00:20:45,761 --> 00:20:47,813
Bayley!

366
00:20:47,846 --> 00:20:50,482
[Cole] Tremendous performance
by B-Fab here tonight

367
00:20:50,515 --> 00:20:52,567
and Candice LeRae, but Bayley advances.

368
00:20:53,385 --> 00:20:56,855
[Corey] Bayley had to have been
the favorite into this matchup,

369
00:20:57,489 --> 00:21:00,759
and reminding
the WWE universe exactly why.

370
00:21:00,826 --> 00:21:06,131
As we said, Bayley excited to have
a new mountain to climb here in WWE.

371
00:21:06,515 --> 00:21:07,899
[Cole] Our first glimpse tonight

372
00:21:07,966 --> 00:21:10,135
at the brackets
for the Women's United States

373
00:21:10,202 --> 00:21:11,303
Championship Tournament.

374
00:21:11,353 --> 00:21:14,106
As we mentioned,
the first of four first-round

375
00:21:14,156 --> 00:21:16,108
Triple Threat Matches tonight.

376
00:21:16,174 --> 00:21:19,544
We'll head to the semifinals
and of course, the finals December 14

377
00:21:19,611 --> 00:21:21,913
from Nassau Coliseum on Long Island,

378
00:21:22,114 --> 00:21:24,683
part of Saturday Night's Main Event.

379
00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:30,922
Congratulations to Bayley,

380
00:21:30,989 --> 00:21:34,559
who creeps closer to more history.

381
00:21:34,826 --> 00:21:37,112
[cheering]

382
00:21:39,014 --> 00:21:42,834
[Corey] Well, we heard Sami Zayn say
earlier in the night, he had an idea.

383
00:21:42,901 --> 00:21:45,303
Do you think
the Megastar LA Knight could be

384
00:21:45,370 --> 00:21:47,205
the fifth man for The Bloodline?

385
00:21:50,525 --> 00:21:52,694
[Cole]
Not quite sure, but we do know this.

386
00:21:52,778 --> 00:21:55,013
LA Knight has
a United States Championship:

387
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,083
Open Challenge, Live, next.

388
00:22:01,653 --> 00:22:03,789
About it. Did your thing.
Know what to tell us.

389
00:22:03,855 --> 00:22:06,091
-What we got next? Let's go baby.
-Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah.

390
00:22:06,158 --> 00:22:08,293
It's your time. Do your thing.

391
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,395
Oh!

392
00:22:10,812 --> 00:22:14,099
B-flop, did you really think that um-

393
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:16,068
you were gonna win that tournament?

394
00:22:16,568 --> 00:22:19,404
That is so cute. Isn't that cute, P?

395
00:22:19,471 --> 00:22:22,974
So sweet. Oh. Don't be sad, B-Fab.

396
00:22:23,041 --> 00:22:24,509
You give it a good shot,

397
00:22:24,710 --> 00:22:27,446
but no everyone can be
Championship material, you know?

398
00:22:27,512 --> 00:22:30,082
No. Certainly not everyone, but we can.

399
00:22:30,148 --> 00:22:34,453
And when we- become the first ever

400
00:22:34,753 --> 00:22:38,457
Women's United States Champion,
we'll let you hold the title.

401
00:22:38,523 --> 00:22:40,759
-How about that?
-[laughter]

402
00:22:40,826 --> 00:22:42,394
Just kidding.

403
00:22:42,461 --> 00:22:44,596
Listen, trash can Chelsea.

404
00:22:44,963 --> 00:22:46,698
Y'all both are right about one thing.

405
00:22:46,765 --> 00:22:49,217
Only one
of y'all can hold the Championship.

406
00:22:50,085 --> 00:22:52,471
So what happens when y'all
go on to the finals together?

407
00:22:53,171 --> 00:22:55,440
While they all over
here chuckling about me,

408
00:22:55,540 --> 00:22:58,777
I think that y'all have other things
that you need to be worried about.

409
00:22:58,844 --> 00:23:01,613
I'm not sure what you're implying,
but I resent the implication.

410
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,950
I don't need a tournament to fight.
Is there a problem here?

411
00:23:05,016 --> 00:23:07,352
-[indistinct muttering]
-No, Mimi.

412
00:23:07,419 --> 00:23:09,855
The problem is you and that.

413
00:23:09,921 --> 00:23:11,957
-You smell that?
-What?

414
00:23:13,191 --> 00:23:15,360
We have to go. We're gonna strategize.

415
00:23:15,427 --> 00:23:17,295
Mm-hmm. You smell that?

416
00:23:17,362 --> 00:23:19,698
I think she still smells,
just like a couple weeks ago.

417
00:23:19,765 --> 00:23:22,534
In the book of Friday,
you win some, lose some.

418
00:23:23,185 --> 00:23:25,036
So B-Fab's got someone watching her back

419
00:23:26,054 --> 00:23:28,073
-[music playing]
-[cheering]

420
00:23:28,140 --> 00:23:30,575
[Corey] You know,
Chelsea Green just went over a million

421
00:23:30,642 --> 00:23:32,244
followers on Instagram.

422
00:23:33,295 --> 00:23:34,413
[Cole] How?

423
00:23:35,247 --> 00:23:37,249
[Corey] Where would you
like me to begin, Cole?

424
00:23:37,315 --> 00:23:40,018
Unfortunately,
the United States Champion is here

425
00:23:40,068 --> 00:23:41,787
so we need to talk about LA Knight.

426
00:23:42,454 --> 00:23:43,371
Yeah.

427
00:23:45,323 --> 00:23:46,324
[bell ringing]

428
00:23:46,792 --> 00:23:50,462
[Alicia]
The following is an Open Challenge.

429
00:23:50,695 --> 00:23:57,469
Introducing the United States Champion,

430
00:23:57,969 --> 00:24:00,672
LA Knight!

431
00:24:01,306 --> 00:24:03,442
[Cole] You know,
in this building Wednesday night,

432
00:24:03,508 --> 00:24:05,477
Giannis and the Bucs dropped 59 points.

433
00:24:05,527 --> 00:24:09,047
Perhaps it was
because of a visit by this man,

434
00:24:09,131 --> 00:24:10,682
the United States Champion.

435
00:24:10,749 --> 00:24:12,000
Could you possibly be--

436
00:24:12,050 --> 00:24:13,418
Make some noise, Milwaukee!

437
00:24:13,468 --> 00:24:16,688
Oh, snap. It's the US Champion,

438
00:24:16,755 --> 00:24:19,925
LA Knight!

439
00:24:20,375 --> 00:24:22,327
[Corey] Could you possibly be referring

440
00:24:22,394 --> 00:24:25,197
to the biggest t-shirt
cannons ever known to man?

441
00:24:25,263 --> 00:24:26,264
[laughter]

442
00:24:26,331 --> 00:24:28,533
[Cole] I'm not entirely
sure those things are legal,

443
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,902
but LA Knight steered them
around like a real pro.

444
00:24:31,603 --> 00:24:35,740
[Corey] He was also shooting rats
out of the brat cannon as well.

445
00:24:35,941 --> 00:24:37,509
-Bengal the--
-[Cole] Brats. Brats.

446
00:24:37,576 --> 00:24:39,778
-[Corey] I say brat. You know why?
-[Cole] Why?

447
00:24:39,895 --> 00:24:42,547
[Corey] That's what my parents called me
when I was a kid.

448
00:24:42,614 --> 00:24:43,815
Nonetheless…

449
00:24:46,017 --> 00:24:48,753
…Bengal the mascot was there as well.

450
00:24:50,589 --> 00:24:52,524
Jimmy Kelly was auditioning for that role.

451
00:24:52,641 --> 00:24:56,444
[chanting "LA Knight"]

452
00:25:00,282 --> 00:25:01,900
Let me talk to you.

453
00:25:02,167 --> 00:25:03,969
[cheering]

454
00:25:06,488 --> 00:25:09,574
My God, I've been around the world,

455
00:25:09,641 --> 00:25:12,844
and aye, aye, aye,
everybody's looking for this thing.

456
00:25:16,164 --> 00:25:17,983
Crown jewel came and went.

457
00:25:18,350 --> 00:25:21,870
I walk out
still your United States Champion.

458
00:25:22,087 --> 00:25:24,656
[cheering]

459
00:25:25,457 --> 00:25:27,559
And apparently,
that must have caught some eyes,

460
00:25:27,626 --> 00:25:33,048
because now Sami Zayn wants to ask me
to join this Bloodline Civil War.

461
00:25:33,498 --> 00:25:35,133
[cheering]

462
00:25:38,253 --> 00:25:39,604
Let me be honest.

463
00:25:40,188 --> 00:25:41,289
That ain't my fight.

464
00:25:42,841 --> 00:25:45,210
I don't need that. I don't want that.

465
00:25:45,260 --> 00:25:46,912
As far as I'm concerned,

466
00:25:47,012 --> 00:25:51,016
if the whole bloodline just destroyed
each other, I'm perfectly fine with it.

467
00:25:51,149 --> 00:25:53,218
-Yeah!
-[audience] Yeah!

468
00:25:53,518 --> 00:25:57,055
I've got my own investment to worry about,
and that's this thing right here.

469
00:25:57,122 --> 00:25:58,957
Now, this ain't the Logan Paul show.

470
00:25:59,007 --> 00:26:02,310
We ain't out here defending this thing
just two times a year.

471
00:26:03,245 --> 00:26:06,481
[cheering]

472
00:26:08,550 --> 00:26:10,719
Yeah. You can boo Logan Paul.
That's all right.

473
00:26:11,269 --> 00:26:14,139
[booing]

474
00:26:16,775 --> 00:26:17,842
But I tell you what.

475
00:26:17,926 --> 00:26:20,011
While I'm standing here
with this Championship,

476
00:26:20,111 --> 00:26:22,981
and I'm going to be that man
that I tell you what we're gonna do.

477
00:26:23,064 --> 00:26:26,985
Once again,
it is the LA Knight United States

478
00:26:27,068 --> 00:26:29,554
Championship Open Challenge.

479
00:26:29,704 --> 00:26:30,822
Yeah!

480
00:26:30,905 --> 00:26:33,191
[cheering]

481
00:26:33,258 --> 00:26:37,012
[solemn music playing]

482
00:26:44,803 --> 00:26:47,038
[Cole] Legado Del Fantasma.

483
00:26:49,708 --> 00:26:53,178
[Corey] Well, which member
of Legado Del Fantasma intends

484
00:26:53,244 --> 00:26:57,582
on- accepting the Open Challenge
of the Megastar?

485
00:26:57,649 --> 00:27:00,719
[Cole] Well,
Santos Escobar has made it pretty clear

486
00:27:00,785 --> 00:27:04,556
over the past number of months
that he wants another opportunity

487
00:27:04,622 --> 00:27:06,408
at the United States Championship

488
00:27:07,425 --> 00:27:10,045
after he was defeated
by LA Knight a couple of months back.

489
00:27:10,845 --> 00:27:12,764
[Corey] Well, Cole,
you know Electra Lopez is

490
00:27:12,831 --> 00:27:15,100
in the Women's
United States Championship Tournament.

491
00:27:15,166 --> 00:27:17,035
There could be two United States Champions

492
00:27:17,102 --> 00:27:18,737
within Legado Del Fantasma.

493
00:27:19,487 --> 00:27:20,855
How's that for making an impact?

494
00:27:43,411 --> 00:27:45,230
LA Knight.

495
00:27:45,296 --> 00:27:47,032
-[rapturous cheers and applause]
-No. No.

496
00:27:48,033 --> 00:27:49,000
No.

497
00:27:51,202 --> 00:27:52,537
Let me tell you something.

498
00:27:53,988 --> 00:27:58,176
Why can't you say something cool,

499
00:27:58,543 --> 00:27:59,744
something interesting,

500
00:27:59,811 --> 00:28:01,746
something that has a ring to it?

501
00:28:02,097 --> 00:28:03,365
[booing]

502
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:05,417
Shut up, Milwaukeeans.

503
00:28:06,017 --> 00:28:07,552
Milwaukeeans, really?

504
00:28:07,986 --> 00:28:11,456
It sounds like you're
from a different planet, Milwaukeeans.

505
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,259
[Corey]
It's Algonquin for "the good land."

506
00:28:14,993 --> 00:28:16,161
Millioke.

507
00:28:17,278 --> 00:28:18,897
It's all right. It's all right.

508
00:28:18,963 --> 00:28:22,834
Why can't you say something
cool like Escobar?

509
00:28:23,068 --> 00:28:24,069
Sí?

510
00:28:24,202 --> 00:28:25,904
[booing]

511
00:28:26,037 --> 00:28:28,106
[Corey] That means "yes", or "yeah".

512
00:28:28,540 --> 00:28:32,277
Are you not tired, exhausted, disgusted

513
00:28:32,377 --> 00:28:34,145
of hearing yourself speak?

514
00:28:36,264 --> 00:28:39,284
I don't know about this, Milwaukeeans,

515
00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:42,120
but I am.

516
00:28:42,187 --> 00:28:47,058
And I think it's time
for someone to shut you up.

517
00:28:48,209 --> 00:28:52,997
Look, Electra Lopez here
has a unique opportunity

518
00:28:53,198 --> 00:28:55,734
to become the first ever-

519
00:28:56,501 --> 00:28:59,187
Women's United States Champion.

520
00:28:59,838 --> 00:29:01,172
Mi campeona.

521
00:29:02,674 --> 00:29:04,042
And I'm thinking,

522
00:29:04,576 --> 00:29:05,877
on top of that,

523
00:29:06,077 --> 00:29:09,280
why not bring
the United States Championship

524
00:29:09,347 --> 00:29:10,715
to my familia,

525
00:29:10,815 --> 00:29:13,134
El Legado Del Fantasma?

526
00:29:14,102 --> 00:29:15,603
So here's what we're going to do.

527
00:29:16,588 --> 00:29:17,689
One second.

528
00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:21,042
I appreciate your ambition.

529
00:29:21,693 --> 00:29:23,361
I hear everything you're saying.

530
00:29:26,464 --> 00:29:29,434
But I can feel this goof
staring a hole in me right now.

531
00:29:29,534 --> 00:29:32,003
[laughter]

532
00:29:32,337 --> 00:29:35,140
He's looking at me
like my head's covered in barbecue sauce.

533
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,075
Maybe you're hungry. I'm not sure.

534
00:29:37,475 --> 00:29:40,211
But here's the thing.
Me and you, been there, done that.

535
00:29:40,311 --> 00:29:41,346
Beat you.

536
00:29:41,846 --> 00:29:44,549
But this guy, I can give you
an opportunity of a lifetime.

537
00:29:44,632 --> 00:29:45,817
I look at it this way.

538
00:29:45,884 --> 00:29:48,153
Only a couple of nights ago,
in this building,

539
00:29:48,219 --> 00:29:50,488
Giannis scored 59 points.

540
00:29:50,622 --> 00:29:51,589
[cheering]

541
00:29:51,723 --> 00:29:53,124
[Corey] Did you know that, Cole?

542
00:29:53,191 --> 00:29:54,526
-[crowd goes wild]
-Mere luck.

543
00:29:54,626 --> 00:29:56,928
Now, I'm going to score 59 on you.

544
00:29:56,995 --> 00:29:58,897
But I will get three the hard way

545
00:29:58,963 --> 00:30:00,632
as you get dropped by the BFT.

546
00:30:00,732 --> 00:30:02,667
So I'll give you
the opportunity of a lifetime

547
00:30:02,734 --> 00:30:04,085
and beat you like your daddy.

548
00:30:04,786 --> 00:30:06,137
[cheering]

549
00:30:06,204 --> 00:30:07,338
But don't get excited.

550
00:30:07,405 --> 00:30:09,908
The only one that can call me
daddy is your girl over here.

551
00:30:09,974 --> 00:30:10,942
Yeah.

552
00:30:11,009 --> 00:30:14,262
[cheering]

553
00:30:14,612 --> 00:30:18,183
So while she's calling me daddy
and you're screaming uncle,

554
00:30:18,266 --> 00:30:19,918
I'll have everybody saying--

555
00:30:20,251 --> 00:30:22,420
[crowd chanting "LA Knight, yeah!"]

556
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,538
Yeah

557
00:30:23,755 --> 00:30:25,256
[Cole] The Milwaukeeans love it.

558
00:30:27,942 --> 00:30:29,661
Escobar can't be happy.

559
00:30:29,894 --> 00:30:32,463
And Berto now, attacking LA Knight.

560
00:30:32,730 --> 00:30:35,166
[Corey]
LA Knight only has himself to blame.

561
00:30:35,366 --> 00:30:37,535
Knight's there to hold back through Berto.

562
00:30:37,602 --> 00:30:40,405
Took his eye off the ball,
and he got beat down for it.

563
00:30:40,471 --> 00:30:42,907
We're going to have
a United States Championship Match

564
00:30:42,974 --> 00:30:44,242
Knight and Berto, next.

565
00:30:48,313 --> 00:30:50,915
[Cole] We are back live
on Friday Night Smackdown,

566
00:30:50,982 --> 00:30:53,284
United States Championship challenge.

567
00:30:53,351 --> 00:30:56,120
LA Knight and Berto
of Legado Del Fantasma,

568
00:30:56,187 --> 00:30:59,357
and Berto has been taking the fight
to the champ, Corey, during the break.

569
00:30:59,424 --> 00:31:01,726
[Corey] Berto has been
extremely impressive thus far,

570
00:31:01,793 --> 00:31:03,728
truly giving the Champion
a run for his money.

571
00:31:03,795 --> 00:31:05,129
And what a right by Berto.

572
00:31:05,246 --> 00:31:07,632
[Cole] And Berto goes 6 foot, 198 pounds.

573
00:31:07,682 --> 00:31:10,001
Monterey, Mexico. LA Knight, wow!

574
00:31:10,068 --> 00:31:12,637
Up to the top rope,
but shoved off by Berto.

575
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,205
Berto now, with an opportunity.

576
00:31:14,872 --> 00:31:17,275
Big missile dropkick. Champ's down.

577
00:31:17,342 --> 00:31:19,878
Cover now for the win and the title,

578
00:31:19,944 --> 00:31:21,879
and a kick-out by Knight at two.

579
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,582
[Corey] See Santos Escobar,
just a few feet in front of us,

580
00:31:24,666 --> 00:31:26,451
celebrating just a little prematurely.

581
00:31:26,517 --> 00:31:30,138
But let's look again
at the picturesque flying dropkick

582
00:31:30,221 --> 00:31:32,423
from Berto. Right on the money.

583
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,759
[Cole] Yeah,
but what an opportunity, Corey.

584
00:31:34,826 --> 00:31:38,363
Berto has never held
a Championship in WWE.

585
00:31:38,429 --> 00:31:40,999
In fact, during the break,
did some research.

586
00:31:41,065 --> 00:31:44,736
This is his first opportunity
at a singles Championship

587
00:31:44,802 --> 00:31:47,272
here on either RAW or SmackDown,

588
00:31:47,338 --> 00:31:49,240
looking to knock off the champ, LA Knight.

589
00:31:50,291 --> 00:31:52,477
[Corey]
Berto right now, slowing down the pace.

590
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,047
This is a smart strategy,
trying to wear down LA Knight.

591
00:31:56,130 --> 00:31:57,181
[chanting]

592
00:31:57,265 --> 00:31:59,984
This modified abdominal stretch,
incredibly painful.

593
00:32:01,753 --> 00:32:02,954
[Cole] Trying to fight back.

594
00:32:03,021 --> 00:32:05,490
Of course, won the Championship
at SummerSlam in Cleveland

595
00:32:05,556 --> 00:32:07,492
early August, beating Logan Paul.

596
00:32:07,592 --> 00:32:11,095
Has defended on a handful
of occasions since then.

597
00:32:12,497 --> 00:32:13,798
Berto hanging on.

598
00:32:13,948 --> 00:32:16,834
LA Knight blocks. Oh,
and he knocks Berto right out of the ring,

599
00:32:16,935 --> 00:32:18,670
and right outside the ring as well.

600
00:32:19,337 --> 00:32:21,939
[Corey] LA Knight,
flexing his athleticism of his own.

601
00:32:25,493 --> 00:32:27,512
[Cole] LA Knight's got to be careful.

602
00:32:27,578 --> 00:32:31,349
And Knight's not gonna drop 59 on anybody,

603
00:32:31,416 --> 00:32:33,484
but he's got a mean crossover.

604
00:32:33,551 --> 00:32:35,653
[Corey] I was gonna say,
to the basketball jump.

605
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,656
[chanting] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

606
00:32:38,723 --> 00:32:40,758
[Cole] Either that,
or a Pall Mall, or Joe Cool.

607
00:32:40,825 --> 00:32:43,027
I don't know a lot about Milwaukee.
Get out of here.

608
00:32:43,861 --> 00:32:45,713
And Berto bounced off the announce table

609
00:32:45,797 --> 00:32:48,199
by LA Knight,
who's now taking control of this match.

610
00:32:48,266 --> 00:32:51,035
United States Champion
looking to put Berto away.

611
00:32:51,102 --> 00:32:52,470
Oh! Down goes Berto.

612
00:32:52,537 --> 00:32:55,039
DDT plants him. Cover now to retain.

613
00:32:55,089 --> 00:32:56,708
Kick-out at two.

614
00:32:56,774 --> 00:32:59,043
[Corey] Great show
of resilience from the challenger,

615
00:32:59,110 --> 00:33:03,014
Berto, understanding the
magnitude of the opportunity

616
00:33:03,081 --> 00:33:04,682
he has in his hands right now.

617
00:33:07,151 --> 00:33:08,353
[Cole] LA Knight, up.

618
00:33:08,419 --> 00:33:11,990
Roberto lands on his feet,
and oh, Connor rolls.

619
00:33:12,106 --> 00:33:14,792
Shoulders down. Champ kicks-out at two.

620
00:33:14,842 --> 00:33:16,878
And Berto! What a kick.

621
00:33:16,961 --> 00:33:19,964
-[Corey] Good night.
-[Cole] Springboard kick for the title.

622
00:33:20,031 --> 00:33:21,666
Knight again, stays alive.

623
00:33:21,749 --> 00:33:24,602
What a performance so far by Berto.

624
00:33:24,652 --> 00:33:27,238
And you've got to wonder
what Santos Escobar is thinking.

625
00:33:27,288 --> 00:33:28,906
I was talking to him during the break

626
00:33:28,973 --> 00:33:32,310
and asked him, what are you gonna think
if Berto wins the United States title?

627
00:33:32,377 --> 00:33:34,545
Does that mean Berto is
in charge of the group now?

628
00:33:34,612 --> 00:33:35,847
Escobar just stared me down.

629
00:33:35,913 --> 00:33:38,716
[Corey] Escobar would become La Padrino,
The Godfather.

630
00:33:38,950 --> 00:33:41,252
And Berto has been
incredibly impressive thus far.

631
00:33:41,319 --> 00:33:43,221
Now, looking to finish
the job from the top.

632
00:33:43,287 --> 00:33:44,255
[Cole] Moonsault!

633
00:33:44,322 --> 00:33:46,758
Knight got his foot
in the air, and blocked Berto.

634
00:33:46,858 --> 00:33:48,192
[Corey] And up to this point,

635
00:33:48,259 --> 00:33:50,495
Berto has done
a spectacular job of countering

636
00:33:50,561 --> 00:33:52,196
LA Knight's trademark offense.

637
00:33:52,263 --> 00:33:54,816
[Cole] And Knight,
that pop-up slam by LA Knight.

638
00:33:55,333 --> 00:33:58,403
Went to the elbow.
Berto rolls out of harm's way.

639
00:33:58,469 --> 00:34:01,272
[Corey] It's glaringly obvious
that Berto has done his homework

640
00:34:01,339 --> 00:34:02,807
on the United States Champion.

641
00:34:03,374 --> 00:34:07,145
[Cole] That running dropkick by Berto,
Knight again in trouble.

642
00:34:07,595 --> 00:34:11,549
This could begin the shift of power
toward Legado Del Fantasma.

643
00:34:12,383 --> 00:34:14,752
[Corey] Yeah. We mentioned Electra Lopez

644
00:34:14,819 --> 00:34:17,955
in the women's United States Championship
tournament, as well.

645
00:34:20,658 --> 00:34:24,195
Knight, fighting desperately here.

646
00:34:24,662 --> 00:34:26,397
Headbutt, right on the ear of Berto.

647
00:34:30,535 --> 00:34:33,371
[cheering]

648
00:34:33,871 --> 00:34:36,374
[chanting "LA Knight, yeah"]

649
00:34:36,774 --> 00:34:39,494
[Cole] Knight, top rope,
elbow connects this time.

650
00:34:43,614 --> 00:34:46,517
BFT, Blunt Force Trauma!

651
00:34:46,984 --> 00:34:49,087
LA Knight retains.

652
00:34:49,220 --> 00:34:50,421
[bell ringing]

653
00:34:50,655 --> 00:34:52,657
[music playing]

654
00:34:52,807 --> 00:34:55,927
[Alicia] Here is your winner and still,

655
00:34:55,977 --> 00:35:00,698
the United States Champion.

656
00:35:00,815 --> 00:35:03,668
LA Knight!

657
00:35:05,036 --> 00:35:09,240
[Corey] Great job by LA Knight,
the United States Champion,

658
00:35:09,307 --> 00:35:13,711
keeping his skill set sharp
in an Open Challenge tonight.

659
00:35:13,778 --> 00:35:19,083
But hats off to Berto, who proved
to be an incredibly viable challenger.

660
00:35:19,951 --> 00:35:22,787
But that would be
the beginning of the end for Berto.

661
00:35:23,554 --> 00:35:27,825
Megastar elbow,
followed by blunt force trauma.

662
00:35:28,075 --> 00:35:29,660
And still.

663
00:35:29,710 --> 00:35:30,761
[bell ringing]

664
00:35:32,830 --> 00:35:35,066
[Cole] LA Knight's success- successful

665
00:35:35,166 --> 00:35:40,204
in this United States Championship
Open Challenge.

666
00:35:40,271 --> 00:35:42,740
But what on-- Oh, my God!

667
00:35:42,907 --> 00:35:45,910
Corey, that's Shinsuke Nakamura.

668
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,932
Shinsuke Nakamura is back,
and he just took out LA Knight!

669
00:35:52,917 --> 00:35:55,086
We haven't seen Nakamura in months.

670
00:35:59,824 --> 00:36:03,845
The wayward samurai has returned
to Smackdown,

671
00:36:04,662 --> 00:36:08,566
and it would appear
that the United States Champion

672
00:36:08,633 --> 00:36:11,052
is in Nakamura's crosshairs.

673
00:36:19,627 --> 00:36:21,712
Yo, man, we in trouble.

674
00:36:22,113 --> 00:36:24,682
Still ain't got no fifth member
for this WarGame stuff, bro.

675
00:36:24,749 --> 00:36:26,150
We need to tighten up right now.

676
00:36:26,250 --> 00:36:28,619
-What you looking at me for?
-Tonight, man.

677
00:36:28,986 --> 00:36:31,289
-What? What's up?
-Man, don't look like that.

678
00:36:31,439 --> 00:36:33,524
-What?
-Listen, it's not looking good.

679
00:36:34,525 --> 00:36:36,093
-I knew that.
-Where's Roman at, man?

680
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,295
Are we gonna talk or what?

681
00:36:37,361 --> 00:36:38,696
Listen, he said meet him here.

682
00:36:39,664 --> 00:36:40,731
So let's go.

683
00:36:40,798 --> 00:36:41,799
Let's go.

684
00:36:51,242 --> 00:36:53,377
[chanting]

685
00:36:57,298 --> 00:37:00,818
[Cole] Friday Night SmackDown
in Milwaukee tonight.

686
00:37:00,868 --> 00:37:05,523
They know something about Championships,
the Bucs winning the NBA title in 2021.

687
00:37:05,590 --> 00:37:08,693
But we got a Championship night
on tap here tonight, Corey.

688
00:37:08,759 --> 00:37:12,163
[Corey] The gold rush is

00:49:43,096 --> 00:49:44,097
Make the call.

866
00:49:49,319 --> 00:49:51,121
[Corey] For those of you who didn't think

867
00:49:51,188 --> 00:49:53,940
Solo Sikoa was serious
about ending the original Bloodline,

868
00:49:53,991 --> 00:49:55,108
well, think again.

869
00:49:55,158 --> 00:49:57,527
The game changed moments ago.

870
00:49:57,911 --> 00:50:01,098
[Cole]
Amidst the civil war that was ongoing,

871
00:50:01,415 --> 00:50:03,300
a shocking turn of events.

872
00:50:03,734 --> 00:50:07,637
The potential fifth member
for the new Bloodline,

873
00:50:07,704 --> 00:50:11,541
Big Bronson Reed, would hit the scene.

874
00:50:11,775 --> 00:50:14,578
But Roman Reigns would not go down
without a fight.

875
00:50:14,644 --> 00:50:17,431
[Corey] Yeah.
Roman Reigns, a valiant effort here,

876
00:50:17,481 --> 00:50:21,051
but the Samoan Spike
by Solo Sikoa would end that rally.

877
00:50:21,118 --> 00:50:23,353
Then Jacob Fatu with a moonsault,

878
00:50:23,420 --> 00:50:25,939
and then Bronson Reed,
who has been terrorizing

879
00:50:25,989 --> 00:50:31,128
Monday Night RAW for months,
delivered a Tsunami to Roman Reigns.

880
00:50:34,498 --> 00:50:35,665
Make the call.

881
00:50:36,566 --> 00:50:37,734
Make the call.

882
00:50:40,637 --> 00:50:41,938
[Cole] The question is, Corey,

883
00:50:42,005 --> 00:50:43,940
with Roman Reigns
in The Original Bloodline,

884
00:50:44,007 --> 00:50:46,276
-who the hell do you call?
-There aren't any options.

885
00:50:46,343 --> 00:50:47,344
It's the Bloodline.

886
00:50:47,411 --> 00:50:51,548
The Bloodline has run roughshod over WWE
for too long. Roman is without allies.

887
00:50:51,615 --> 00:50:54,751
You don't need to call anybody.
You all need to hit your knees

888
00:50:54,801 --> 00:50:57,587
and start praying,
because things don't look good for the OG.

889
00:50:57,654 --> 00:51:01,341
Bronson Reed has completely changed
the complexion of WarGames.

890

Takes place two weeks from tomorrow night

891

at Survivor Series, WarGames.

892
00:51:06,279 --> 00:51:08,899
Well, switching gears now,
we kicked off SmackDown tonight

893
00:51:08,965 --> 00:51:11,168
with a situation concerning Kevin Owens,

894
00:51:11,268 --> 00:51:14,104
Cody Rhodes,
General Manager Nick Aldis, as well.

895
00:51:14,304 --> 00:51:18,742
Well, we understand
that Kevin Owens has just posted a video

896
00:51:18,842 --> 00:51:21,211

I showed up to the arena in Milwaukee
earlier and I was turned away.

900
00:51:28,418 --> 00:51:30,821
I was told that I'm not welcome
and that I had to leave

901
00:51:32,689 --> 00:51:35,325
because of what I did to Randy Orton
last week.

902
00:51:35,926 --> 00:51:38,578
But what I did to Randy Orton
last week was, I did my job.

903

All I did was do what they asked me to do

called me out to the ring,

905

because I put Randy Orton on the shelf.

It's not fair.

909
00:51:54,611 --> 00:51:57,247
But guess what? The best part is.
Just now, a few minutes ago,

910
00:51:57,314 --> 00:52:01,418
I got a call from Nick Aldis
asking me to be at SmackDown

911
00:52:01,485 --> 00:52:03,954
in Salt Lake City next Friday. And why?

912
00:52:04,020 --> 00:52:06,923
Because the little golden boy,
Cody Rhodes, wants me there.

913
00:52:07,057 --> 00:52:08,975
Oh, my God! Cody wants me there.

914
00:52:09,059 --> 00:52:10,427
I have to be there, right?

915
00:52:10,477 --> 00:52:12,129
Can't disappoint Cody Rhodes.

916
00:52:12,596 --> 00:52:13,830
Well, you know what, Cody?

917
00:52:14,131 --> 00:52:15,799
I shouldn't show up,

918
00:52:16,900 --> 00:52:17,901
but I will.

919
00:52:18,051 --> 00:52:19,102
I'll be there.

920
00:52:19,169 --> 00:52:20,136
Not for you.

921
00:52:20,504 --> 00:52:23,240
Not-- not for Nick Aldis.
Not even for WWE,

922
00:52:23,306 --> 00:52:25,275
because they hardly
deserve me at this point.

923
00:52:25,542 --> 00:52:27,777
I'm gonna show up next week for myself,

924
00:52:28,512 --> 00:52:31,014

and been as hot as this team has

since arriving here.

that thus far in their WWE tenure,

983
00:55:22,152 --> 00:55:24,604
no one in the tag team
division has been able to solve

Motor City Machine Guns,

the WWE Tag Team Champions.

986
00:55:30,026 --> 00:55:33,697
They've worked their entire
lives to get to this platform,

987
00:55:33,897 --> 00:55:37,534
to receive the opportunity
just to compete for the gold.

988

that we settle down.

against the Tag Champs.

it can all be for naught.

00:56:41,197 --> 00:56:42,966
you have the ability to do it.

1015
00:56:44,300 --> 00:56:47,437
[Cole] I had a great talk
with Angelo Dawkins last week,

1016
00:56:47,537 --> 00:56:50,573
Corey, and I asked him
about being a team for so long

1017
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,476
with Montez Ford
and not winning a Championship recently.

1018
00:56:53,543 --> 00:56:56,279
And he told me, listen,
I'm always going to be friends with Tez.

1019
00:56:56,346 --> 00:56:57,347
We're a great tag team.

1020
00:56:57,413 --> 00:57:00,049
But maybe it's time
we start to test the water a little bit,

1021
00:57:00,116 --> 00:57:01,751
branch out a little bit on our own.

1022
00:57:01,818 --> 00:57:05,955

from Motor City Machine Guns

1045

1046
00:58:08,051 --> 00:58:11,721

Angelo Dawkins, just muscling Alex Shelley

1047

crawling outta harm's way.

Tag made. Montez Ford, gonna try
to prevent him making a tag to save it.

Oh, my goodness.

1061

at Chris Sabin, using his own body

1066
00:59:03,990 --> 00:59:05,775
as a weapon to take out Ford.

1067
00:59:06,276 --> 00:59:08,361

Tag made.

that The Street Profits cut the line.

that The Machine Guns are champs.

pounding away on Montez Ford.

just blasted Alex Shelley.

Nia's got a lot on her mind tonight.

1239
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:21,904
Not only did she lose,
pinned by Naomi last month,

1240
01:07:22,571 --> 01:07:24,907
but also, the fact that Tiffany Stratton,

1241
01:07:24,974 --> 01:07:27,610
"Miss Money in the Bank,"
who's supposed to be her best buddy

1242

is still lurking around
with that Money in the Bank briefcase.

it's the Irresistible Force,
the WWE Women's Champion.

01:07:36,085 --> 01:07:39,355
We know how
Tiffany Stratton has been flirting

1246
01:07:39,422 --> 01:07:41,524
with the idea of cashing in on Nia.

1247
01:07:41,857 --> 01:07:44,560
[Corey] I think Nia needs
to be very, very careful tonight.

1248

01:08:23,432 --> 01:08:27,303
from Orlando, Florida,

1261
01:08:28,220 --> 01:08:32,708
Naomi!

from San Diego, California,

1265
01:08:43,169 --> 01:08:47,323
she is the WWE

1266
01:08:47,389 --> 01:08:52,127
Women's Champion,

1267
01:08:52,194 --> 01:08:56,332
-Nia Jax!
-[the crowd remains quiet]

1268
01:08:56,398 --> 01:08:58,267
[Cole]
It has been an historic night already

1269
01:08:58,367 --> 01:08:59,635
on Friday Night SmackDown.

1270
01:08:59,702 --> 01:09:01,370
We kicked off the tournament to crown

1271
01:09:01,437 --> 01:09:04,857
the first ever
Women's United States Champion.

1272
01:09:04,907 --> 01:09:06,842
And now, tonight
on our main event, Nia Jax

1273
01:09:06,909 --> 01:09:09,979
defends the WWE Women's
title against Naomi.

1274
01:09:10,079 --> 01:09:13,015
I wanna ask you a question
about what we showed you a little bit ago,

1275
01:09:13,082 --> 01:09:15,417
Corey, and that's the fact
that Naomi pinned The Champ

1276
01:09:15,484 --> 01:09:16,919
just last month.

1277
01:09:17,319 --> 01:09:19,121
Should we read too much into that,

1278
01:09:19,188 --> 01:09:20,756
or is that blown out of proportion?

1279
01:09:20,823 --> 01:09:23,576
[Corey] I think Naomi got lucky.

1280
01:09:23,692 --> 01:09:26,278
I think Naomi capitalized on a situation.

1281
01:09:26,362 --> 01:09:29,148
Not to say Naomi doesn't have
the ability to knock off Jax,

1282
01:09:29,265 --> 01:09:31,100
but we're gonna have
to see a side of Naomi

1283
01:09:31,166 --> 01:09:34,103
that we haven't traditionally
seen because I assure you,

1284
01:09:34,253 --> 01:09:36,939
Nia Jax was embarrassed and angered

1285
01:09:37,006 --> 01:09:38,908
by being pinned by Naomi,

1286
01:09:39,024 --> 01:09:42,211
and all that anger is gonna come out
on the head of Naomi tonight.

1287
01:09:42,278 --> 01:09:45,281
[Cole] Yeah. Nia Jax, using her power
to bury Naomi in the corner here

1288
01:09:45,347 --> 01:09:46,849
in the early going of this matchup.

1289
01:09:46,916 --> 01:09:48,951
-Naomi tried to come out.
-[Corey] Look at this.

1290
01:09:49,018 --> 01:09:50,519
[Cole] Again, the powerful Jax,

1291
01:09:51,820 --> 01:09:53,923
flinging Naomi around the ring.

1292
01:09:53,989 --> 01:09:56,792
[Corey] That was several weeks
ago that Naomi beat Nia Jax.

1293
01:09:56,859 --> 01:10:00,196
How about the disappointment Nia suffered
at Crown Jewel,

1294
01:10:00,279 --> 01:10:02,898
coming up short to Liv Morgan
for the Crown Jewel

1295
01:10:02,965 --> 01:10:04,166
Women's Championship?

1296
01:10:04,266 --> 01:10:06,202
Nia would have loved
to have that accolade.

1297
01:10:06,535 --> 01:10:07,536
[Cole] Oh.

1298
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:10,239
[Corey]
All the frustration, coming out tonight.

1299
01:10:10,306 --> 01:10:12,308
[Cole]
Naomi now, shoulders down for the title.

1300
01:10:12,374 --> 01:10:14,643
Nia Jax, able to roll out of harm's way.

1301
01:10:14,743 --> 01:10:16,612
But a kick by Naomi,
the champ's in trouble.

1302
01:10:16,695 --> 01:10:19,865
[Corey] With that said,
I hope Naomi planned for a very angry,

1303
01:10:19,915 --> 01:10:22,017
possibly frustrated Nia Jax.

1304
01:10:22,084 --> 01:10:25,054
[Cole] Hook leg there
from Naomi, covering again.

1305
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:26,889
Nia gets the shoulder up.

1306
01:10:26,956 --> 01:10:28,757
[Corey] Naomi is a veteran of this game.

1307
01:10:28,824 --> 01:10:30,726
She's been there. She's done that.

1308
01:10:30,826 --> 01:10:33,095
There we see Cargill
and Belair, looking on.

1309
01:10:33,929 --> 01:10:36,465
[Cole] Tiffany Stratton as
well, "Miss Money in the Bank,"

1310
01:10:36,532 --> 01:10:38,067
on the side of Nia Jax.

1311
01:10:38,167 --> 01:10:40,736
Nia, in a collision now with Naomi.

1312
01:10:40,803 --> 01:10:44,006
Now, we've talked about this earlier
on when it came to The Street Profits.

1313
01:10:44,073 --> 01:10:47,076
But Naomi is in the same boat.
She's a two-time world Champion, Corey,

1314
01:10:47,142 --> 01:10:50,879
but it's been almost seven years
since Naomi has held gold,

1315
01:10:50,946 --> 01:10:53,249
and two and a half years
since she's been a tag champ.

1316
01:10:53,315 --> 01:10:55,217
[Corey]
And if you're Naomi and you were away

1317
01:10:55,284 --> 01:10:59,438
from WWE for such a duration,
you only come back to be great.

1318
01:10:59,521 --> 01:11:01,790
You only come back to be
at the top of the mountain.

1319
01:11:01,857 --> 01:11:04,293
-You don't come back to be an--
-[Cole] Oh, sunset flip!

1320
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:05,594
Shoulders down, champ kicks.

1321
01:11:06,228 --> 01:11:08,113
[Corey] Naomi has to realize the magnitude

1322
01:11:08,163 --> 01:11:10,549
of the opportunity
in front of her tonight,

1323
01:11:10,599 --> 01:11:12,334
and realize it may never come again.

1324
01:11:12,401 --> 01:11:13,736
[Cole] Here's the cover by Nia.

1325
01:11:13,802 --> 01:11:16,221
Hooks the inside leg,
and a kick-out by Naomi.

1326
01:11:16,272 --> 01:11:18,173
Naomi's got to use her quickness

1327
01:11:18,941 --> 01:11:20,326
against the powerful Jax.

1328
01:11:22,895 --> 01:11:25,464
And now, Nia, looking to wear Naomi down,

1329
01:11:25,547 --> 01:11:27,449
slow down the pace of the match.

1330
01:11:28,968 --> 01:11:32,021
[Corey] If I'm Naomi,
I'm trying to chop down Nia Jax.

1331
01:11:32,087 --> 01:11:34,873
I'd be focusing on the knees,
the ankles of the Champion,

1332
01:11:34,957 --> 01:11:38,294
trying to get Nia off her feet
by any means necessary,

1333
01:11:38,394 --> 01:11:40,562
and then try to tire the Champion out.

1334
01:11:40,646 --> 01:11:43,966
[cheering, applause]

1335
01:11:44,049 --> 01:11:46,935
[Cole] Naomi said across the ring,
that Nia misses wildly.

1336
01:11:47,036 --> 01:11:48,337
Great move by Naomi.

1337
01:11:48,437 --> 01:11:50,105
Ducked underneath that clothesline.

1338
01:11:52,925 --> 01:11:54,309
Nia, with a big elbow.

1339
01:11:54,376 --> 01:11:56,312
[Corey]
I will say, I do appreciate the fact

1340
01:11:56,378 --> 01:11:58,480
that Naomi appears to be all business

1341
01:11:58,547 --> 01:11:59,682
thus far in the matchup.

1342
01:11:59,748 --> 01:12:02,251
Naomi usually loves
to have a great time mid-match,

1343
01:12:02,318 --> 01:12:04,787
loves to interact with the WWE Universe.

1344
01:12:05,154 --> 01:12:07,356
But Naomi,
certainly focused on the task at hand.

1345
01:12:08,123 --> 01:12:10,059
-Bang.
-[Cole] You know, you talked about that

1346
01:12:10,125 --> 01:12:12,695
and you saw the frustration
coming out moments ago from Nia,

1347
01:12:12,761 --> 01:12:14,263
the fact that she was embarrassed,

1348
01:12:14,330 --> 01:12:16,398
humiliated, being pinned
by Naomi last month.

1349
01:12:16,899 --> 01:12:21,870
She wants to punish, torture,
embarrass Naomi here tonight.

1350
01:12:21,937 --> 01:12:25,708
[Corey] Because Nia realizes it's more
than just picking up a win over Naomi.

1351
01:12:25,791 --> 01:12:28,043
It's a message to the entire roster,

1352
01:12:28,110 --> 01:12:31,380
including "Miss Money in the Bank,"
Tiffany Stratton.

1353
01:12:31,447 --> 01:12:34,616
[Cole] Well, you mentioned it before.
We all know how much it bothered Nia

1354
01:12:34,683 --> 01:12:37,186
-not to win the Crown Championship.
-[Corey] Oh!

1355
01:12:37,286 --> 01:12:38,854
[Cole] What a headbutt by Nia.

1356
01:12:38,921 --> 01:12:40,222
[Corey] That was awesome.

1357
01:12:41,390 --> 01:12:42,591
Wow.

1358
01:12:45,461 --> 01:12:47,413
[Cole] And Nia went
right back to the attack.

1359
01:12:47,496 --> 01:12:50,466
Naomi, though able to recover,
kick down to the Champion.

1360
01:12:50,516 --> 01:12:53,068
Nia took a bit too much time showboating

1361
01:12:53,135 --> 01:12:54,353
and she may pay for it.

1362
01:12:54,436 --> 01:12:56,071
[Corey] I think you're right, Cole.

1363
01:12:56,171 --> 01:12:58,273
I think Nia got
a little too overconfident.

1364
01:12:59,491 --> 01:13:02,444
[Cole] Suicide dive,
The Champ, into the barricade.

1365
01:13:02,528 --> 01:13:04,980
Naomi's got an opportunity
to win the Women's title.

1366
01:13:05,047 --> 01:13:07,282
Naomi, take it to the Champion here.

1367
01:13:07,383 --> 01:13:09,651
[cheering]

1368
01:13:12,771 --> 01:13:15,624
Naomi hit a flurry.
Nia Jax has turned things around,

1369
01:13:15,691 --> 01:13:17,459
and just flattened Naomi there.

01:13:17,526 --> 01:13:21,530
Cover by The Champ.

01:13:21,597 --> 01:13:22,881
for the Women's Championship.

1372
01:13:22,931 --> 01:13:26,034
[Corey] And things are starting to look
bleak for the challenger, Naomi,

1373
01:13:26,101 --> 01:13:28,871
because Nia Jax is growing
more and more confident

1374
01:13:28,954 --> 01:13:30,522
as this match progresses.

1375
01:13:34,793 --> 01:13:36,845
Naomi has fought valiantly
to this point, but--

1376
01:13:36,895 --> 01:13:37,946
[Cole] Oh!

1377
01:13:38,013 --> 01:13:40,315
And a headbutt right to the spine.

1378
01:13:40,382 --> 01:13:42,184
[Corey] Reality starting to sink in,

1379
01:13:42,284 --> 01:13:45,087
and Jax now, with a half crab submission,

1380
01:13:45,187 --> 01:13:47,222
targeting Naomi's lower back.

1381
01:13:47,289 --> 01:13:49,391
It's a great strategy by the Champion.

1382
01:13:49,458 --> 01:13:51,727
[Cole] Nia's full weight
now on the body of Naomi,

1383
01:13:51,927 --> 01:13:54,596
just continuing to torture Naomi,

1384
01:13:54,663 --> 01:13:56,432
trying to roll over on her back here

1385
01:13:56,498 --> 01:13:59,084
and create some space with that kick.

1386
01:14:00,269 --> 01:14:02,538
[Corey] Naomi definitely lit Nia up
with that kick,

1387
01:14:02,604 --> 01:14:05,374
but the Irresistible Force continues
to move forward.

1388
01:14:05,457 --> 01:14:07,910
-And look at this power. Oh!
-[Cole] The power--

1389
01:14:07,976 --> 01:14:10,379
[Cole] Great move by Naomi
for the win, for the title.

1390
01:14:10,446 --> 01:14:11,780
Almost stole one there.

1391
01:14:12,147 --> 01:14:13,916
Great move by Naomi.

1392
01:14:15,350 --> 01:14:17,719
[Corey]
Just that quick, the tides have turned.

1393
01:14:19,988 --> 01:14:22,391
[Cole]
Naomi with a kick, looking to rally.

1394
01:14:22,458 --> 01:14:24,059
Oh, and that kick caught Nia.

1395
01:14:24,126 --> 01:14:26,712
Back of the neck.
Nia, still on her feet somehow.

1396
01:14:26,795 --> 01:14:28,530
Second rope now for Naomi.

1397
01:14:28,597 --> 01:14:29,631
Crossbody.

1398
01:14:33,135 --> 01:14:35,304
[Corey]
Naomi, looking to push the pace here

1399
01:14:35,370 --> 01:14:36,638
late into the matchup.

1400
01:14:36,705 --> 01:14:39,474
[Cole] That enzuiguri off the second rope
caught her in the ear.

1401
01:14:39,808 --> 01:14:42,611
[Corey]
This may be what it all boils down to.

1402
01:14:42,678 --> 01:14:44,680
Who's got more gas left in the tank?

1403
01:14:46,348 --> 01:14:47,483
[Cole] Naomi now,

1404
01:14:48,951 --> 01:14:50,352
shrugged off by the Champion.

1405
01:14:50,469 --> 01:14:52,638
Oh, there's the rear view for the win!

1406
01:14:52,688 --> 01:14:54,256
For the Championship!

1407
01:14:54,356 --> 01:14:56,558
Nailed Nia, at two and a half.

1408
01:14:56,959 --> 01:14:58,794
[Corey]
I know it wasn't Naomi's intention,

1409
01:14:58,861 --> 01:15:02,030
but the difference in that cover
could have very well been

1410
01:15:02,097 --> 01:15:05,217
that Naomi did not have the shoulders
of the Champion pinned.

1411
01:15:05,467 --> 01:15:08,053
She was low on Nia's body,
and that may be the only reason

1412
01:15:08,170 --> 01:15:09,338
this match is still going.

1413
01:15:11,957 --> 01:15:14,776
[Cole] Naomi,
as she was setting up for a full nelson,

1414
01:15:14,843 --> 01:15:17,446
and Nia drove her back into the corner…

1415
01:15:20,682 --> 01:15:22,251
-[Corey] Oh!
-[Cole] Oh.

1416
01:15:22,317 --> 01:15:27,472
That pump up Samoan drop
by Jax may have ended Naomi's dream.

1417
01:15:28,056 --> 01:15:33,061
[cheering]

1418
01:15:33,262 --> 01:15:35,697
[Corey] Nia Jax, the type
of woman who will wake you up

1419
01:15:35,764 --> 01:15:37,566
just to crush your dreams again.

1420
01:15:37,633 --> 01:15:41,403
[cheering]

1421
01:15:41,637 --> 01:15:43,505
[Cole] Dragging Naomi toward the corner,

1422
01:15:44,172 --> 01:15:45,807
setting her up for the annihilator.

1423
01:15:45,874 --> 01:15:47,459
Naomi, though, back to her feet.

1424
01:15:47,543 --> 01:15:50,913
Nia Jax, dumped
over the top rope to the floor.

1425
01:15:51,146 --> 01:15:53,982
[Corey] Nia mitigated
the damage on the spill to the outside,

1426
01:15:54,049 --> 01:15:56,585
-but watch the challenger.
-[Cole] Naomi from the top!

1427
01:15:56,818 --> 01:15:58,086
Naomi flies!

1428
01:15:58,186 --> 01:15:59,521
Down goes the Champion.

1429
01:15:59,588 --> 01:16:01,924
But now, Naomi has got
to get her back in the ring.

1430
01:16:01,990 --> 01:16:03,575
Champion's advantage here.

1431
01:16:03,692 --> 01:16:06,895
Naomi's got to pin
or submit Nia to win the title.

1432
01:16:09,131 --> 01:16:10,966
Come on, get her up. Get her up.

1433
01:16:11,033 --> 01:16:12,000
[shouts]

1434
01:16:12,217 --> 01:16:13,952
[Cole] Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez,

1435
01:16:15,020 --> 01:16:16,672
attacking the tag champ.

1436
01:16:16,738 --> 01:16:19,141
[laughter]

1437
01:16:19,258 --> 01:16:22,160
[booing]

1438
01:16:28,617 --> 01:16:30,552
[Corey] Naomi favoring her knees,

1439
01:16:30,886 --> 01:16:32,454
impact on the outside,

1440
01:16:32,521 --> 01:16:35,007
it was a high risk maneuver.
It paid off in the moment.

1441
01:16:35,090 --> 01:16:39,328
But as you said, Cole,
Naomi now has to get Jax inside the ring.

1442
01:16:40,629 --> 01:16:43,115
[Cole] And again,
the situation backstage with Tag Champs,

1443
01:16:43,165 --> 01:16:45,701
attacked by Morgan and Raquel
from Monday Night RAW.

1444
01:16:45,751 --> 01:16:49,237
Meanwhile,
Tiffany Stratton, attacking Naomi.

1445
01:16:49,304 --> 01:16:52,407
The official has no clue what's going on.

1446
01:16:52,474 --> 01:16:53,976
Never saw the attack.

1447
01:16:54,076 --> 01:16:55,777
Leg drop by Nia.

1448
01:16:56,345 --> 01:17:01,283
Tiffany Stratton, turning
the tables for her buddy, Nia Jax.

1449
01:17:01,350 --> 01:17:02,751
I'm so proud of you!

1450
01:17:04,519 --> 01:17:07,506
[Corey]
Tiffany just handed Jax this victory

1451
01:17:07,623 --> 01:17:09,341
on a silver platter.

1452
01:17:09,458 --> 01:17:11,760
[Cole]
Naomi back to her feet, kicked to the air.

1453
01:17:11,827 --> 01:17:14,329
Or did she? Nia stunned again.

1454
01:17:15,013 --> 01:17:16,798
Where is Naomi getting this?

1455
01:17:16,882 --> 01:17:18,333
Naomi now,

1456
01:17:19,201 --> 01:17:20,619
up to the top rope.

1457
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,738
-[Corey] Oh, no.
-Oh, this is--

1458
01:17:22,904 --> 01:17:23,772
[Corey] Oh, no.

1459
01:17:23,839 --> 01:17:25,340
[Cole] --this is not gonna be good.

1460
01:17:25,407 --> 01:17:26,541
[Corey] Oh, God.

1461
01:17:26,958 --> 01:17:28,443
[Cole] Naomi, my God!

1462
01:17:28,543 --> 01:17:30,679
What a counter! For the win!

1463
01:17:30,746 --> 01:17:33,448
Naomi cover, and a kick-out by Nia.

1464
01:17:33,498 --> 01:17:34,933
You've got to be kidding me.

1465
01:17:35,017 --> 01:17:37,986
How the hell did Nia Jax kick-out of that?

1466
01:17:38,053 --> 01:17:40,956
[Corey] I'm not even entirely
sure what the hell I just saw.

1467
01:17:41,490 --> 01:17:42,624
That was nuts.

1468
01:17:44,426 --> 01:17:48,563
[Cole] And again, Tiffany causing
a distraction up on the apron.

1469
01:17:48,630 --> 01:17:50,165
[Corey] Bayley!

1470
01:17:50,248 --> 01:17:53,602
[Cole] And now Bayley,
coming to the aid of her friend Naomi,

1471
01:17:53,669 --> 01:17:56,605
driving Tiffany into the barricade.

1472
01:17:56,988 --> 01:17:58,256
[Corey] Naomi out of the way.

1473
01:17:58,340 --> 01:18:01,143
[Cole] Roll up again
for the title kick-out by Nia.

1474
01:18:03,011 --> 01:18:05,047
What a match for the women's title.

1475
01:18:05,580 --> 01:18:06,965
Jax, into the ringpost.

1476
01:18:07,399 --> 01:18:09,551
Naomi, going for the split leg moonsault.

1477
01:18:09,618 --> 01:18:11,870
-[Corey] There it is!
-[Cole] For the Championship!

1478
01:18:11,953 --> 01:18:13,321
Again, hooks the leg.

1479
01:18:13,438 --> 01:18:15,707
And again, Jax kicks out!

1480
01:18:16,375 --> 01:18:19,077
[Corey] And that's the heartbreaker, Cole.

1481
01:18:19,161 --> 01:18:21,813
You can see it in Naomi's eyes.

1482
01:18:22,731 --> 01:18:27,402
[Cole] Overwhelmed with emotion
after she hit the split leg moonsault.

1483
01:18:27,469 --> 01:18:31,440
Nia Jax somehow survived,
but Naomi can't worry about it.

1484
01:18:31,506 --> 01:18:33,375
She's gotta go back on the attack.

1485
01:18:38,213 --> 01:18:39,698
Naomi, up to the top rope.

1486
01:18:39,748 --> 01:18:43,685
And now, Candice LeRae,
attacking Bayley from behind,

1487
01:18:43,852 --> 01:18:45,487
driving her into the post.

1488
01:18:45,587 --> 01:18:47,055
Naomi took a tumble.

1489
01:18:48,123 --> 01:18:50,475
[Corey] She's about to take
more than a tumble here.

1490
01:18:50,525 --> 01:18:52,844
[Cole] Nia Jax, Samoan drop!

1491
01:18:54,763 --> 01:18:56,448
Dragging Naomi to the corner.

1492
01:18:56,498 --> 01:18:58,733
Nia realizes it's her chance.

1493
01:18:59,134 --> 01:19:01,403
Annihilator, cover.

1494
01:19:02,637 --> 01:19:03,755
Nia retains.

1495
01:19:03,939 --> 01:19:05,040
[bell ringing]

1496
01:19:07,392 --> 01:19:09,344
[Alicia] Here is your winner.

1497
01:19:09,461 --> 01:19:11,179
And still,

1498
01:19:11,379 --> 01:19:14,816
the WWE Women's Champion,

1499
01:19:15,350 --> 01:19:17,736
Nia Jax!

1500
01:19:17,819 --> 01:19:19,488
[Corey] You know Cole, multiple times,

1501
01:19:19,554 --> 01:19:23,658
it seemed as though Tiffany Stratton was
a liability for Nia Jax.

1502
01:19:23,725 --> 01:19:25,510
Well, tonight, Miss Money in the Bank

1503
01:19:25,594 --> 01:19:27,045
just paid big dividends.

1504
01:19:27,095 --> 01:19:28,930
[Cole] Well, again, and Candice LeRae,

1505
01:19:29,364 --> 01:19:32,367
still trying to get in the good
graces of the Women's Champion.

1506
01:19:32,534 --> 01:19:34,503
Candice LeRae came out here.

1507
01:19:34,769 --> 01:19:36,338
We're looking at replays right now.

1508
01:19:36,438 --> 01:19:38,874
Naomi is getting the hell
stomped out of her in the ring

1509
01:19:38,940 --> 01:19:40,659
by Candice and Tiffany.

1510
01:19:40,742 --> 01:19:42,577
And that was the heartbreaker.

1511
01:19:42,644 --> 01:19:46,031
Here comes LeRae,
launching Bayley into the ring post,

1512
01:19:46,114 --> 01:19:48,583
taking Naomi's attention off of the match.

1513
01:19:49,050 --> 01:19:53,155
Nia, with a Samoan drop
from the second turnbuckle.

1514
01:19:53,221 --> 01:19:55,273
That likely would have ended the match.

1515
01:19:55,357 --> 01:19:58,593
But just for insurance, the annihilator.

1516
01:19:58,660 --> 01:20:02,030
And you can count to 20
because ain't nobody getting up from that.

1517
01:20:02,097 --> 01:20:04,766
[Corey] And again, Candice,
trying to get into the good graces

1518
01:20:04,833 --> 01:20:06,685
of Nia Jax, as is
"Miss Money in the Bank,"

1519
01:20:06,735 --> 01:20:07,903
Tiffany Stratton.

1520
01:20:08,003 --> 01:20:13,675
And because of that,
Nia Jax is still your WWE Women's Champion

1521
01:20:13,725 --> 01:20:16,228
after an unbelievable performance

1522
01:20:16,344 --> 01:20:18,647
