1
00:00:08,492 --> 00:00:09,575
[Triple H] Then.

2
00:00:13,413 --> 00:00:14,548
Now.

3
00:00:19,203 --> 00:00:20,337
Forever.

4
00:00:28,645 --> 00:00:29,746
Together.

5
00:00:38,105 --> 00:00:40,724
[Tessitore] This is Philly,
where the afterglow

6
00:00:40,757 --> 00:00:43,644
of a Super Bowl championship
still burns bright,

7
00:00:43,677 --> 00:00:46,647
and the buzz of WrestleMania's
season now roars from

8
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,616
last year's site to this year's drama.

9
00:00:49,650 --> 00:00:54,521
The fans heading into a sold-out
Wells Fargo Arena,

10
00:00:54,555 --> 00:00:56,089
well aware of what just happened,

11
00:00:56,123 --> 00:00:58,425
how the industry changed
forever this week.

12
00:00:58,458 --> 00:01:01,361
Yet there's so much still to be revealed.

13
00:01:01,394 --> 00:01:05,349
Tonight that all happens
inside this cauldron of fan passion.

14
00:01:05,381 --> 00:01:10,354
A place that's now hosted 24 SmackDowns,
including the US Championship tonight,

15
00:01:10,387 --> 00:01:12,639
the target for LA Knight.

16
00:01:12,673 --> 00:01:15,792
He proved himself winning
a brutal number one contenders' tourney.

17
00:01:15,826 --> 00:01:19,997
The Megastar comes here
convinced gold is coming back to him.

18
00:01:20,030 --> 00:01:24,467
He has to deal with the sinister,
dangerous Shinsuke Nakamura.

19
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:27,354
Since November, that title's been his.

20
00:01:27,387 --> 00:01:30,324
Now these two fierce rivals
battle for it again.

21
00:01:31,241 --> 00:01:34,478
And it's a big showdown
for big Braun Strowman.

22
00:01:35,027 --> 00:01:37,964
Everywhere he's turned lately,
he's been dealing with Solo Sikoa,

23
00:01:37,997 --> 00:01:40,300
from a spike to a steel chair.

24
00:01:40,333 --> 00:01:44,404
And Solo arrives here for Braun
one-on-one,

25
00:01:44,437 --> 00:01:48,125
of course with Jacob Fatu
and Tama Tonga here in South Philly.

26
00:01:48,158 --> 00:01:51,645
Gonna be an explosive moment
with these two.

27
00:01:51,678 --> 00:01:57,601
Plus, Drew McIntyre at SmackDown,
second time in less than a month.

28
00:01:57,634 --> 00:02:00,086
McIntyre will face Jimmy Uso.

29
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:03,023
The Scottish Warrior sees something--

30
00:02:03,056 --> 00:02:04,190
-Oh!
-[Barrett] Oh.

31
00:02:06,193 --> 00:02:08,495
[McIntyre] What did you think
was gonna happen?

32
00:02:09,012 --> 00:02:10,013
[Priest grunts]

33
00:02:21,725 --> 00:02:24,912
[groaning, coughs]

34
00:02:26,596 --> 00:02:30,601
I mean, it was only a matter of time
with Priest and McIntyre, I guess.

35
00:02:30,634 --> 00:02:32,835
Joe Tessitore, Wade Barrett with you.

36
00:02:32,870 --> 00:02:34,537
Gonna be that kind of night on SmackDown.

37
00:02:34,571 --> 00:02:37,608
Wow, it has been an epic week here in WWE,

38
00:02:37,641 --> 00:02:41,028
the effects of which are going
to be felt for years, Joe.

39
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:44,281
Yeah, the shocking turn of events
at Elimination Chamber

40
00:02:44,314 --> 00:02:45,948
still the buzz with everybody.

41
00:02:45,983 --> 00:02:51,721
Toronto was incredible from start to
the stunning John Cena-Cody Rhodes finish.

42
00:02:54,841 --> 00:02:57,977
It is a very big weekend for fans of WWE.

43
00:02:59,613 --> 00:03:04,051

star power than Toronto's ever seen.

we may never see him again.

93
00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:28,856
That piledriver that Kevin Owens
delivered, the brutal attack on Orton,

94
00:06:28,889 --> 00:06:31,724
sent him out of action until last week,

95

return in Toronto.

you know, week or so.

147
00:10:27,928 --> 00:10:31,665

ever since I started in this business,

148
00:10:32,315 --> 00:10:33,467
John Cena…

00:10:41,574 --> 00:10:47,497
John Cena has always been
on the top of this profession.

151
00:10:51,068 --> 00:10:54,204
And now he's just a bottom for Rock.

152
00:10:59,626 --> 00:11:03,947
I guess that gives a whole new meaning
to the term rock bottom, now doesn't it?

153
00:11:05,249 --> 00:11:08,986
Doesn't it, John? [chuckles]
But I digress.

154
00:11:09,019 --> 00:11:13,189
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Friday Night SmackDown.

156
00:11:20,113 --> 00:11:23,967
Now I bring up John, you know, he's one of
the few friends I've had in the business.

157
00:11:24,001 --> 00:11:26,435
Our careers kind of paralleled each other,

158
00:11:26,469 --> 00:11:29,223
and, um, you know,
we have a lot in common.

159
00:11:29,256 --> 00:11:31,592
That's a short list of people
that I was friends with

160
00:11:31,625 --> 00:11:32,910
and had something in common with.

161
00:11:32,943 --> 00:11:37,197
One of those people on that short list
is also Kevin Owens.

163
00:11:44,504 --> 00:11:47,440

We've both done vile things
to get the job done.

165
00:11:52,129 --> 00:11:56,983
We both crossed the line,
pushed the envelope time and time again,

166
00:11:57,016 --> 00:11:58,718
but it was always to get the job done.

167
00:11:58,752 --> 00:12:00,704
It was always in the name of business.

00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:17,154
it's really quite admirable
when you think about it.

173
00:12:17,187 --> 00:12:22,025
You could say that I admire
Kevin Owens, the wrestler.

174
00:12:22,925 --> 00:12:28,482
But it's Kevin Owens, the man,
that I have a problem with.

175
00:12:32,185 --> 00:12:33,887
Now, there's a quote out there.

176
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,757
I'm gonna butcher it,
but I'm gonna try and deliver it here

177
00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:39,059
as verbatim as possible.

178
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:45,248
It goes, "Never underestimate
a jealous man's ability

179
00:12:45,983 --> 00:12:48,519
to destroy another man."

180
00:12:50,670 --> 00:12:54,257
If you ask me,
that's Kevin Owens to the T.

181
00:12:55,007 --> 00:13:00,597
Kevin Owens's veins run with jealousy.

182
00:13:00,631 --> 00:13:02,799
Case in point, look at Cody Rhodes.

183
00:13:02,833 --> 00:13:06,770
Kevin Owens dropped Cody Rhodes
on his head with a piledriver.

184
00:13:07,286 --> 00:13:12,391
Kevin Owens will tell you that he tried
to end Cody's career because Cody simply

185
00:13:12,425 --> 00:13:15,829
chose Roman Reigns as a tag team partner,
but that's not why.

186
00:13:15,863 --> 00:13:18,982
Kevin Owens tried to end Cody's career

187
00:13:19,016 --> 00:13:23,737
because Kevin Owens was jealous
of the gold around Cody's waist.

188
00:13:26,272 --> 00:13:30,794
Sami Zayn. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens,
they fought tooth and nail

189
00:13:30,827 --> 00:13:33,347
long before they ever made it to the WWE.

190
00:13:33,380 --> 00:13:35,899
Back and forth,
but they would always come full circle.

191
00:13:35,933 --> 00:13:38,267
They would always become friends again.

192
00:13:40,353 --> 00:13:45,209
But at the Elimination Chamber,
Kevin Owens attempted to drop

193
00:13:45,242 --> 00:13:49,012
Sami Zayn on his head for a second time,
this time on the concrete.

194
00:13:49,045 --> 00:13:53,650
And Kevin will have you believe
that he did that because Sami Zayn simply

195
00:13:54,384 --> 00:13:58,222
helped Roman Reigns to his feet
at the Royal Rumble, but that's not why.

196
00:13:58,255 --> 00:14:01,408
Kevin Owens tried
to end Sami Zayn's career

197
00:14:02,192 --> 00:14:08,247
because Sami Zayn had slowly yet surely
become a bigger star than Kevin Owens.

198
00:14:13,069 --> 00:14:16,790
That short list I talked about earlier
that Kevin Owens was on,

199
00:14:16,823 --> 00:14:19,009
he was my friend at one time,

200
00:14:19,041 --> 00:14:21,777
and he dropped me on my head
with a piledriver,

201
00:14:21,812 --> 00:14:24,948
an illegal move, by the way,
for as long as I've been here,

202
00:14:24,982 --> 00:14:29,520
simply because I was trying
to protect my friend.

203
00:14:29,553 --> 00:14:32,089
What does Kevin Owens
have to be jealous about?

204
00:14:32,122 --> 00:14:36,492
He's won every single title
in the WWE. Every single title.

205
00:14:36,526 --> 00:14:40,012
He's… If you asked any one
of the guys or the gals

206
00:14:40,046 --> 00:14:43,065
in the locker room, what their one goal,
if they can only have one,

207
00:14:43,099 --> 00:14:44,968
one goal would be in this company,

208
00:14:45,002 --> 00:14:47,738
it would be the main event WrestleMania.

209
00:14:47,771 --> 00:14:50,674
Kevin Owens did that not once,
but he did it twice.

210
00:14:50,707 --> 00:14:51,842
In one of those times,

211
00:14:51,875 --> 00:14:56,597
his opponent was arguably the greatest
superstar in the history of the WWE,

212
00:14:56,630 --> 00:14:59,065
the history of all professional wrestling.

213
00:14:59,098 --> 00:15:01,834
His opponent at WrestleMania
in the main event

214
00:15:01,868 --> 00:15:04,420
was Stone Cold Steve Austin.

215
00:15:04,454 --> 00:15:05,923
[crowd cheers]

216
00:15:08,474 --> 00:15:13,313
What does Kevin Owens
have to be jealous about?

217
00:15:13,347 --> 00:15:17,384
He's never satisfied.
Enough's never enough.

218
00:15:20,954 --> 00:15:24,056
A year and a half ago,
I had a spinal fusion, and I was told

219
00:15:24,091 --> 00:15:28,078
that that was a career ending surgery,
a career ending injury.

220
00:15:28,111 --> 00:15:30,863
Doctor after doctor
told me that that was it.

221
00:15:30,897 --> 00:15:32,232
Hang up the boots. You're done.

222
00:15:32,266 --> 00:15:35,536
Your in-ring career is over,
but I wouldn't take no for an answer.

223
00:15:35,569 --> 00:15:39,272
I busted my ass to come back.
But I told myself, "Randy,

224
00:15:39,305 --> 00:15:41,440
don't let anything upset you in that ring.

225
00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:45,478
Don't take one second performing in front
of these lovely people for granted.

226
00:15:45,512 --> 00:15:48,281
Don't let anything piss you off."
Well, guess what?

227
00:15:48,314 --> 00:15:51,602
Kevin Owens,
you gone done and pissed me off.

228
00:15:53,587 --> 00:15:58,709
So, last week at the Chamber
when I came out to save Sami Zayn

229
00:15:58,742 --> 00:16:01,962
from getting a career-ending piledriver
on the concrete,

230
00:16:01,995 --> 00:16:04,830
I ran into the ring,
and I RKO'd Kevin Owens,

231
00:16:04,865 --> 00:16:06,983
and he laid right about here.

232
00:16:07,016 --> 00:16:09,770
And as I looked down on Kevin,
I thought to myself,

233
00:16:09,803 --> 00:16:12,756
"Man, what is this feeling
coming over me?"

234
00:16:12,789 --> 00:16:16,926
Normally, that would have been all
I needed to do to be satisfied,

235
00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:18,462
to fill the urge.

236
00:16:18,495 --> 00:16:20,430
I would have been happy.
That would have been it.

237
00:16:20,464 --> 00:16:22,415
Case closed. See you next week.

238
00:16:22,449 --> 00:16:26,019
But no, something came over me
that I haven't felt for a decade,

239
00:16:26,053 --> 00:16:27,603
decade and a half.

240
00:16:27,637 --> 00:16:31,108
And… [chuckles] Ah, I liked it.

241
00:16:31,141 --> 00:16:33,627
I liked it.
I liked it, and you know what it was?

242
00:16:33,660 --> 00:16:38,598
The voices started talking to me again,
and those voices,

243
00:16:38,632 --> 00:16:41,635
they told me to back up, measure my mark,

244
00:16:41,668 --> 00:16:45,756
and kick Kevin Owens in the head
so freaking hard

245
00:16:45,789 --> 00:16:50,459
that even his closest family members
wouldn't be able to recognize his face.

246
00:16:52,212 --> 00:16:56,883
Listen, Kevin Owens,
listen to me when I say,

247
00:16:56,916 --> 00:16:59,652
as a matter of fact,
WWE Universe, listen to me.

248
00:16:59,685 --> 00:17:05,725
The entire world, listen to me when I say
I'm gonna prove in short order

249
00:17:06,409 --> 00:17:11,748
that Pat McAfee is only
the second greatest punter in the WWE.

250
00:17:13,367 --> 00:17:14,518
["Voices" playing]

251
00:17:14,550 --> 00:17:19,071
[Tessitore] Oh, he says,
"The voices started talking to me again."

252
00:17:19,106 --> 00:17:22,826
He was set to punt Kevin Owens a week ago.

253
00:17:22,859 --> 00:17:26,128
Now it seems like it's just a matter
of time when he gets his chance, Wade.

254
00:17:26,163 --> 00:17:30,300
[Barrett] Oh, man, when the eyes
of the Apex Predator narrow,

255
00:17:30,334 --> 00:17:34,521
the last place you wanna be
is in the line of sight.

256
00:17:34,555 --> 00:17:40,460
Kevin Owens, you have a major problem
as we hurtle towards WrestleMania.

257
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,233
[crowd cheers]

258
00:17:52,306 --> 00:17:55,442
It is so unconstitutional
that you're making me defend

259
00:17:55,475 --> 00:17:57,194
my title tonight in a Street Fight.

260
00:17:57,226 --> 00:18:00,080
Um, excuse me,
we were in the middle of something.

261
00:18:00,113 --> 00:18:03,367
Well, I hope you're in the middle
of discussing your consequences

262
00:18:03,399 --> 00:18:05,185
for ruining my Canadian homecoming.

263
00:18:05,219 --> 00:18:07,803
Nicholas, you let her bully me
into a match last week,

264
00:18:07,838 --> 00:18:10,057
and now you're letting
Michin bully me into a match?

265
00:18:10,557 --> 00:18:13,726
[scoffs] This is discrimination.
I know my rights.

266
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,916
Well, maybe you should exercise
your right to remain silent for all of us.

267
00:18:18,948 --> 00:18:20,000
Excuse me.

268
00:18:20,817 --> 00:18:22,985
-Are you censoring us?
-Yes!

269
00:18:23,020 --> 00:18:25,639
Do I need to spell it out for you?
Shut up.

270
00:18:26,139 --> 00:18:28,075
Actually, I've got a great idea.

271
00:18:28,108 --> 00:18:31,110
How about I make you shut up
tonight in a match?

272
00:18:31,144 --> 00:18:32,596
No, no, no, she can't make it.

273
00:18:32,629 --> 00:18:35,198
She is part of my Secret Hervice,
and I have a match.

274
00:18:35,232 --> 00:18:36,867
[whispers] So she won't be there.

275
00:18:37,834 --> 00:18:42,706
One thing, Chelsea. Uh, Piper doesn't
work for you, she works for WWE,

276
00:18:42,739 --> 00:18:45,142
and I actually happen to think
that's a great idea,

277
00:18:45,175 --> 00:18:46,909
so I think we're gonna do that.

278
00:18:46,944 --> 00:18:48,962
[Stratton claps] Toodles.

279
00:18:50,848 --> 00:18:53,367

what time it is now in Philly.

Stratton, Piper Niven, that's next.

292

Don't go anywhere.
A sellout for SmackDown.

I can watch those reactions all day long,

00:20:22,956 --> 00:20:25,509
and it's this photo, this singular moment.

briefcase and defeated Nia Jax.

00:20:46,713 --> 00:20:48,447
It's only been 63 days.

312
00:20:58,425 --> 00:20:59,710
[Barrett] You mentioned Nia Jax.

313
00:20:59,743 --> 00:21:03,580
Of course, Tiffany Stratton had a huge win
at the Elimination Chamber

314
00:21:03,614 --> 00:21:08,385
alongside Hall of Famer Trish Stratus
against Nia Jax and Candice LeRae,

315
00:21:08,418 --> 00:21:11,871
perhaps finally putting them
in the rearview mirror,

316
00:21:11,905 --> 00:21:14,474
however, no rest for the champ.

317
00:21:14,508 --> 00:21:16,994

for Piper Niven.

to now facing off against Tiffy Time.

I will say this about Piper.

She really impressed us
the last time she was in singles action

324
00:21:33,894 --> 00:21:34,895
here on SmackDown.

325
00:21:34,928 --> 00:21:38,298
But four weeks ago,
went toe-to-toe with the eventual

326
00:21:38,331 --> 00:21:40,466
Elimination Chamber winner, Bianca Belair.

327
00:21:41,051 --> 00:21:44,487
[Barrett] Yeah, I mean,
anyone who's sleeping on the abilities

328
00:21:44,521 --> 00:21:47,073
of Piper Niven is just plain wrong.

329
00:21:47,107 --> 00:21:51,110
Let's go back to Clash at the Castle
in Glasgow last year

330
00:21:51,144 --> 00:21:55,616
when Piper Niven pushed the then
Women's Champ, Bayley, to her limits,

331
00:21:55,649 --> 00:21:58,985
almost becoming champ herself
in the process,

332
00:21:59,019 --> 00:22:01,187
if not for some severely bad luck.

333
00:22:01,221 --> 00:22:06,810
Well, Piper Niven is every inch the equal
of any woman in this division,

334
00:22:06,844 --> 00:22:09,162
including the likes of Tiffany Stratton.

335
00:22:09,196 --> 00:22:11,398
[Tessitore] Saw how bothered
Chelsea Green was

00:22:11,431 --> 00:22:14,033
with SmackDown general manager,
Nick Aldis.

337
00:22:14,067 --> 00:22:15,702
And she is not here ringside.

338
00:22:15,735 --> 00:22:17,471
Remember Chelsea Green,

339
00:22:17,504 --> 00:22:20,791
defending her Women's
United States Championship

340
00:22:20,823 --> 00:22:22,576
later tonight against Michin,

341
00:22:22,609 --> 00:22:27,464
which has been a sensational rivalry,
and that will be a Street Fight match.

342
00:22:27,496 --> 00:22:30,601
[Barrett] Ooh. Good luck, Chelsea Green
against Michin of all people.

343
00:22:30,634 --> 00:22:34,288
Michin is the absolute queen
of Death Matches.

344
00:22:34,321 --> 00:22:36,406
The champ is in trouble later on tonight.

345
00:22:36,439 --> 00:22:39,909
[Tessitore] Especially here in Philly.
She trained not far away at the ECW arena,

346
00:22:39,943 --> 00:22:42,546
so it's a style that suits her so well.

347
00:22:43,597 --> 00:22:48,385
There's the athleticism, the gymnastics
background of Tiffany Stratton.

348
00:22:48,418 --> 00:22:51,687
[Barrett] Tiffany Stratton did indeed
compete against Chelsea Green last week.

349
00:22:51,722 --> 00:22:55,792
A match that was interfered with
several times by Piper Niven,

350
00:22:55,826 --> 00:22:59,213
so there is some bad blood
between these two in the ring right now.

351
00:23:00,097 --> 00:23:04,234
But it would be a huge feather
in the cap of the powerhouse Niven

352
00:23:04,268 --> 00:23:05,769
to get a win over the champ

353
00:23:06,587 --> 00:23:09,056
and raise her stock
in the women's division.

354
00:23:09,689 --> 00:23:11,758
[Tessitore] She was looking
for that running senton

355
00:23:11,792 --> 00:23:15,462
and Stratton able to get out of the way
and then delivers that basement drop kick.

356
00:23:15,495 --> 00:23:19,917
A week ago, she came off the top rope
onto Niven and Green outside the ring.

357
00:23:19,950 --> 00:23:24,321
Springboarding in this time against Piper.
Hooks the leg, looking for the quick win.

358
00:23:24,922 --> 00:23:27,307
[Barrett] Incredible technique
and body control here,

359
00:23:27,341 --> 00:23:32,546
and, of course, Tiffany Stratton not
surprised by the powerhouse style of Niven

360
00:23:32,579 --> 00:23:36,300
after months now
of competing against Nia Jax,

361
00:23:36,332 --> 00:23:40,620
who's very similar, but now Niven's
gonna ask some different questions.

362
00:23:40,654 --> 00:23:43,307
[Tessitore]
And she gets sent out onto the floor.

363
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:49,213
Piper Niven with that strength advantage,
just tossing Tiffany Stratton.

364
00:23:49,245 --> 00:23:51,298
[Barrett] So stoic in that ring.

365
00:23:52,182 --> 00:23:55,619
-Never happier than when in full control.
-[Tessitore] Oh!

366
00:23:56,770 --> 00:23:59,373
[Barrett] A nasty landing there
for both women,

367
00:23:59,406 --> 00:24:01,425
but Piper Niven with the upper hand.

368
00:24:01,457 --> 00:24:03,543
Can she get the W over Tiffany?

369
00:24:06,914 --> 00:24:11,601
[Tessitore] Not a seat to be had here in
Philadelphia for Friday Night SmackDown,

370
00:24:11,635 --> 00:24:15,155
as Tiffany Stratton looking
to rally against Piper Niven.

371
00:24:15,188 --> 00:24:18,457
Wade, you brought up the fact that
she's been through the wringer recently.

372
00:24:18,492 --> 00:24:20,427
You go back to just even Valentine's Day.

373
00:24:21,028 --> 00:24:24,564
Oh, and there's the offense
she was looking for.

374
00:24:24,598 --> 00:24:26,166
She's gone up against Nia Jax,

375
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,136
Candice LeRae,
Chelsea Green, all victories

376
00:24:29,168 --> 00:24:33,874
and last week, the tag team action
up in Toronto, so she has been active.

377
00:24:33,907 --> 00:24:36,510
[Barrett] Well, these are
the new questions that get asked of you.

378
00:24:36,543 --> 00:24:40,831
When you become champ in WWE,
you have unlimited bull's-eyes

379
00:24:42,582 --> 00:24:46,453
on your body, and a lot of questions
have been asked of Tiffany Stratton

380
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:51,191
tonight already by Piper Niven,
but showing that championship-caliber

381
00:24:51,225 --> 00:24:53,560
durability when it matters most.

382
00:24:53,593 --> 00:24:55,879
Tiffany Stratton back in control.

383
00:24:55,913 --> 00:24:59,433
[Tessitore] First time these two have ever
gone one-on-one in their careers.

384
00:24:59,466 --> 00:25:03,437
As driving that shoulder into the ribs
that were greatly affected earlier

385
00:25:03,470 --> 00:25:05,105
on in this match is Piper Niven.

386
00:25:05,973 --> 00:25:08,992
[Barrett] And Niven is such a proudly
belligerent woman.

387
00:25:09,025 --> 00:25:12,245
One shot from Niven
is like ten from anyone else.

388
00:25:12,279 --> 00:25:14,747
[Tessitore] Tiffany able to get out
of the way then slams her down.

389
00:25:15,631 --> 00:25:18,851
[Barrett] And now you've got
this opportunity to do some damage

390
00:25:18,886 --> 00:25:20,787
against the bone crusher Niven.

391
00:25:20,821 --> 00:25:22,422
You've gotta make it count.

392
00:25:23,689 --> 00:25:25,091
[Tessitore] How's this for counting?

393
00:25:26,827 --> 00:25:29,279
Into the cover. Hooks the leg for the win.

394
00:25:30,197 --> 00:25:32,933
And the shoulder up by Piper Niven.

395
00:25:35,052 --> 00:25:38,871
[Barrett] Another look at the bull's-eye.
Right here into the drop zone.

396
00:25:38,906 --> 00:25:41,625
Couldn't have landed any more perfect.

397
00:25:41,658 --> 00:25:46,897
What more would you expect from
Tiffany Stratton, Little Miss Perfect?

398
00:25:46,929 --> 00:25:49,316
Though she overestimated
her own power there.

399
00:25:50,050 --> 00:25:52,218
[Tessitore] And you get an example
on the other side,

400
00:25:52,252 --> 00:25:55,739
the power, the strength of Niven--
Oh, and the left shoulder gets up

401
00:25:56,506 --> 00:25:58,891
just with a moment to spare to stay alive

402
00:25:58,926 --> 00:26:02,145
for the WWE Women's Champion
Tiffany Stratton.

403
00:26:02,178 --> 00:26:05,831
[Barrett] The spinning boss man there,
pulled out by Piper Niven,

404
00:26:05,866 --> 00:26:07,768
should have been enough
to get the job done,

405
00:26:07,801 --> 00:26:10,404
but this is part of why Tiffany Stratton

406
00:26:10,437 --> 00:26:13,090
is at the top of the mountain
in this division.

407
00:26:13,122 --> 00:26:15,775
Can dig a little deeper than most.

408
00:26:16,310 --> 00:26:19,763
[Tessitore] This is the danger zone
when you're up against Niven.

409
00:26:24,551 --> 00:26:25,651
Nobody's home.

410
00:26:25,686 --> 00:26:28,922
[Barrett] Simply telegraph for too long,
and here we go, Joe.

411
00:26:28,956 --> 00:26:31,124
[Tessitore] Prettiest Moonsault Ever!

412
00:26:31,158 --> 00:26:33,760
It is Tiffy Time.

413
00:26:34,261 --> 00:26:36,629
-[bell rings]
-["Tiffy Time" playing]

414
00:26:36,663 --> 00:26:38,749
[Garcia] Here is your winner,

415
00:26:38,782 --> 00:26:41,635
the WWE Women's Champion,

416
00:26:41,668 --> 00:26:45,272
-Tiffany Stratton!
-[Tessitore] That's a great win by--

417
00:26:45,304 --> 00:26:48,609
-[Barrett] Wait, wait, wait! Ooh!
-[Tessitore] Oh, she's got company!

418
00:26:48,641 --> 00:26:52,980
Charlotte Flair takes
out her leg from behind.

419
00:26:57,918 --> 00:27:01,004
[Barrett] Tiffany Stratton's opponent
at WrestleMania,

420
00:27:01,038 --> 00:27:03,841
Royal Rumble winner, Charlotte Flair.

421
00:27:03,874 --> 00:27:06,743
-The fourteen-time champ-- Oh, my God.
-[Tessitore] Oh, no.

422
00:27:06,776 --> 00:27:08,896
Figure Eight, could it be?

423
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:15,519
Charlotte Flair locking it in
against her WrestleMania opponent.

424
00:27:17,169 --> 00:27:18,304
Oh, Wade!

425
00:27:18,938 --> 00:27:21,324
[Barrett] Charlotte Flair
living up to the name,

426
00:27:21,358 --> 00:27:24,528
using every dirty trick in the book

427
00:27:24,561 --> 00:27:27,915
to attack the body and mind
of the young champ.

428
00:27:28,497 --> 00:27:30,634
[Tessitore] The Royal Rumble winner

429
00:27:31,318 --> 00:27:33,003
who chose Tiffany

430
00:27:34,487 --> 00:27:37,558
to have her welcome back
to WrestleMania moment.

431
00:27:41,110 --> 00:27:47,684
And Charlotte making a big and dangerous
statement as you see Tiffany Stratton

432
00:27:47,717 --> 00:27:51,154
-reaching for that left knee.
-["All Hail The Queen" playing]

433
00:27:51,187 --> 00:27:55,108
[Barrett] Charlotte Flair has just been
a step ahead of Tiffany Stratton

434
00:27:55,141 --> 00:27:57,995
for the past several weeks.

435
00:27:58,762 --> 00:28:01,497
[Tessitore] 43 days
till WrestleMania, Wade.

436
00:28:03,433 --> 00:28:05,135
And that will be the matchup.

437
00:28:15,529 --> 00:28:19,466
It's officially March, so allow me
to illustrate the madness

438
00:28:19,499 --> 00:28:22,151
that is the current state
of the tag team division.

439
00:28:23,102 --> 00:28:26,506
Let's start here
with the Motor City Machine Guns.

440
00:28:26,540 --> 00:28:29,943
They faced DIY four months ago,
and in an historic night,

441
00:28:29,976 --> 00:28:33,981
after defeating DIY, they went on
to win the tag team championships.

442
00:28:34,014 --> 00:28:38,584
The Street Profits were next in line,
but before they could make that happen,

443
00:28:39,086 --> 00:28:40,486
that was disrupted

444
00:28:40,521 --> 00:28:41,722
by Tommaso Ciampa.

445
00:28:42,422 --> 00:28:45,826
When the Profits were ready
for another bite at the apple,

446
00:28:45,859 --> 00:28:48,896
they were mysteriously
attacked and unable to compete,

447
00:28:48,928 --> 00:28:54,033
which meant DIY took their place
and in a shocking turn of events,

448
00:28:54,801 --> 00:28:59,606
Johnny Gargano betrayed his friends
and mentors of 20 years,

449
00:28:59,639 --> 00:29:02,458
and DIY claimed the tag team gold.

450
00:29:03,543 --> 00:29:08,014
When the Profits returned,
they were informed by Pretty Deadly…

451
00:29:08,048 --> 00:29:09,448
-It was Gar--
-Za! [clears throat]

452
00:29:09,483 --> 00:29:10,884
Garza. It was Garza.

453
00:29:10,918 --> 00:29:12,252
[Aldis] …who attacked them.

454
00:29:12,285 --> 00:29:14,120
-You sure?
-Yeah, I'm sure.

455
00:29:14,771 --> 00:29:20,226
[Aldis] This was untrue, and the Profits
returned the favor, and chaos ensued.

456
00:29:20,928 --> 00:29:23,947
We then came to find out that it was DIY

457
00:29:25,098 --> 00:29:26,867
who put Pretty Deadly up to it.

458
00:29:26,899 --> 00:29:28,135
You're on your own.

459
00:29:28,168 --> 00:29:29,836
-We don't need you.
-We don't need you.

460
00:29:29,870 --> 00:29:32,523
And that's why we have all this chaos.

461
00:29:33,322 --> 00:29:35,842
Now we go to the Royal Rumble.

462
00:29:35,876 --> 00:29:40,214
Two-out-of-three Falls Match
between the Machine Guns and DIY,

463
00:29:41,380 --> 00:29:44,885
which was disrupted
by the returning Street Profits,

464
00:29:44,918 --> 00:29:49,857
and since then, it has been
nonstop fighting and chaos. So…

465
00:29:51,257 --> 00:29:52,458
here's my solution.

466
00:29:52,959 --> 00:29:55,361
Next week, the Street Profits

467
00:29:56,295 --> 00:29:59,316
get their long-awaited
and long overdue title shot

468
00:30:00,283 --> 00:30:01,418
against DIY.

469
00:30:01,952 --> 00:30:07,107
Which leaves us with tonight.
With Pretty Deadly who will face Los Garza

470
00:30:07,139 --> 00:30:11,345
and the Motor City Machine Guns
in a Triple Threat Match

471
00:30:11,378 --> 00:30:14,630
to determine who's next in line
as the number one contender.

472
00:30:15,399 --> 00:30:17,384
As you can see, it's really very simple.

473
00:30:22,872 --> 00:30:24,608
[Barrett] There was
nothing simple about that.

474
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,544
While Nick Aldis is making
our brains hurt with trigonometry,

475
00:30:28,579 --> 00:30:29,996
let me sum it up for you.

476
00:30:30,030 --> 00:30:34,167
SmackDown's tag division
has been a chaotic mess,

477
00:30:34,201 --> 00:30:37,271
and tonight we are gonna
restore some order.

478
00:30:37,303 --> 00:30:41,007
-[Tessitore] How about the…
-[Barrett] Ooh, that'd be no fun.

479
00:30:41,908 --> 00:30:45,279
[Tessitore] Sabin and Shelley ready for
the challenge to earn another title shot.

480
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,388
[bell rings]

481
00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:59,158
[Garcia] The following is
a WWE Tag Team Championship

482
00:30:59,193 --> 00:31:04,014
number one contender Triple Threat Match!

483
00:31:04,047 --> 00:31:07,650

00:31:10,286 --> 00:31:13,106
Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin,

Motor City Machine Guns!

487
00:31:16,810 --> 00:31:18,629
[Tessitore] They were
so close to reclaiming

488
00:31:18,661 --> 00:31:20,030
their tag titles at the Royal Rumble.

489
00:31:20,062 --> 00:31:22,131
Now a chance for the number one spot.

490
00:31:22,165 --> 00:31:25,535
Tag Team Championship,
number one contenders, Triple Threat.

491
00:31:25,569 --> 00:31:27,187
That's next from Philly.

492
00:31:34,494 --> 00:31:36,847
[Tessitore] So, here we go in Philly.
Number one contender

493
00:31:36,879 --> 00:31:38,564
Triple Threat tag team match.

494
00:31:38,599 --> 00:31:41,552
It's gonna be Los Garza,
Motor City Machine Guns

495
00:31:41,584 --> 00:31:46,439
and the guys here who keep gathering
more and more momentum and confidence.

496
00:31:52,012 --> 00:31:53,629
[Garcia] And from London, England,

497
00:31:53,664 --> 00:31:56,600
at a combined weight of 426 pounds,

498
00:31:56,632 --> 00:31:59,836
Elton Prince and Kit Wilson,

499
00:31:59,870 --> 00:32:03,307
Pretty Deadly!

500
00:32:03,340 --> 00:32:05,826
[Barrett] So the entire tag division
on SmackDown

501
00:32:05,859 --> 00:32:08,178
has been in complete turmoil now
for months.

502
00:32:08,212 --> 00:32:13,332
You've got five prominent teams
who cannot stand the sight of each other,

503
00:32:13,367 --> 00:32:17,971
and GM Aldis is basically trying
to pacify all five teams at the same time.

504
00:32:18,004 --> 00:32:21,841
This is a number one contender,
Triple Threat matchup.

505
00:32:21,875 --> 00:32:27,664
The winners will go on to face the winners
of next week's Tag Championship matchup

506
00:32:27,697 --> 00:32:31,033
between the champs, DIY,
and the Street Profits.

507
00:32:31,068 --> 00:32:34,454
Hopefully, we get some
order finally restored here.

508
00:32:34,487 --> 00:32:36,039
[Tessitore] There has been
very little order.

509
00:32:36,072 --> 00:32:39,091
I mean, we had a moment recently
where the entire locker room

510
00:32:39,126 --> 00:32:42,012
spilled out into a brawl out on the floor.

511
00:32:42,044 --> 00:32:45,716
[Barrett] Yeah, there's no loyalties
whatsoever left, no trust.

512
00:32:46,283 --> 00:32:47,885
[Angel] Get out!

513
00:32:48,519 --> 00:32:49,852
Get out! Go on.

514
00:32:50,637 --> 00:32:52,022
Bye-bye!

515
00:32:52,054 --> 00:32:54,808
[Tessitore] Angel getting
in the face of Sabin,

516
00:32:54,841 --> 00:32:58,728
who waves goodbye to him and then eats
a big dropkick from Kit Wilson.

517
00:32:58,762 --> 00:33:02,448
[Barrett] There's your problem. You get
distracted by somebody you can't stand.

518
00:33:02,482 --> 00:33:05,519
You take your eye off your opponent,
and you get dropped.

519
00:33:05,552 --> 00:33:08,754
[Tessitore] Oh, wow,
right in the center of the ring.

520
00:33:11,291 --> 00:33:15,428
It was Legado del Fantasma, or Los Garza,
who was supposed to take on

521
00:33:15,462 --> 00:33:17,764
the Street Profits last week on SmackDown.

522
00:33:17,798 --> 00:33:21,134
That was one that devolved
into an all-out brawl

523
00:33:21,168 --> 00:33:23,704
between every member in the tag ranks,

524
00:33:23,736 --> 00:33:29,525
and clearly, only two men are gonna be
legal at any point in this tag match…

525
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,578
[Tessitore] It doesn't matter now though,
does it, Wade?

526
00:33:31,611 --> 00:33:33,146
[Barrett] There's not gonna be
much agreement.

527
00:33:33,179 --> 00:33:35,349
-And once again, it has devolved…
-[Tessitore] Those blind tags

528
00:33:35,381 --> 00:33:38,185
-don't go over well.
-[Barrett] …into a complete mess.

529
00:33:40,187 --> 00:33:42,389
[Tessitore] Angel and Berto,
Sabin and Shelley,

530
00:33:42,421 --> 00:33:44,507
Elton Prince and Kit Wilson.

531
00:33:46,677 --> 00:33:50,746
The Motor City Machine Guns just
ran into big boots from Pretty Deadly.

532
00:33:50,781 --> 00:33:53,433
[Barrett] Perhaps the Machine Guns
who have more gripes than anyone--

533
00:33:53,466 --> 00:33:58,138
they've had multiple championship matches
ruined by run-ins from the likes

534
00:33:58,170 --> 00:34:00,139
of Los Garza and Pretty Deadly.

535
00:34:01,457 --> 00:34:03,677
[Tessitore] And now the teamwork
coming to play

536
00:34:04,745 --> 00:34:08,098
as look at that from Angel and Berto.

537
00:34:08,681 --> 00:34:12,518
[Barrett] Well, this is Los Garza
who need to get back to instilling fear

538
00:34:12,553 --> 00:34:13,719
in the locker room and end the…

539
00:34:13,754 --> 00:34:15,188
-[Tessitore] Wow!
-…likes of the people

540
00:34:15,221 --> 00:34:17,089
taking the group lightly.

541
00:34:17,123 --> 00:34:20,226
Santos Escobar has faith in his men.
They're on top now.

542
00:34:20,259 --> 00:34:21,395
Can they get the dub?

543
00:34:25,047 --> 00:34:29,069
[Tessitore] Excellent Triple Threat Tag
Team action here in Philly on SmackDown.

544
00:34:29,101 --> 00:34:31,772
Next week's SmackDown is going
to have the Tag Team Championship

545
00:34:31,804 --> 00:34:34,040
with the Street Profits against DIY,

546
00:34:34,074 --> 00:34:36,759
but this is what Nick Aldis,
the general manager,

547
00:34:36,793 --> 00:34:40,047
put forth to determine
the eventual number one contenders.

548
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,665
Motor City Machine Guns, Pretty Deadly
and Los Garza, Wade.

549
00:34:42,699 --> 00:34:47,721
[Barrett] Yeah. Three teams scratching and
clawing to get themselves in pole position

550
00:34:47,754 --> 00:34:51,024
and a shot at whoever the champs
will be after next week,

551
00:34:51,058 --> 00:34:55,462
and right now it's the Motor City
Machine Guns that are hitting fine form

552
00:34:55,495 --> 00:34:56,563
with Chris Sabin.

553
00:34:56,596 --> 00:34:58,832
[Tessitore] Sabin is revving the engine…

554
00:35:04,438 --> 00:35:06,173
and getting the best of Berto.

555
00:35:06,206 --> 00:35:07,691
[Sabin] Let's go!

556
00:35:07,723 --> 00:35:10,844
[Tessitore] Oh, they're hoping to go
right back into title contention.

557
00:35:10,877 --> 00:35:13,714
The recent champions, as Sabin,

558
00:35:13,747 --> 00:35:16,683
into the cover to become
number one contenders.

559
00:35:16,717 --> 00:35:18,252
And the kick out by Berto.

560
00:35:18,285 --> 00:35:19,786
[Barrett] The veterans, the Machine Guns,

561
00:35:19,819 --> 00:35:22,839
they have been screwed
left, right and center

562
00:35:22,873 --> 00:35:27,493
over the past several months,
including losing their tag gold to DIY.

563
00:35:27,528 --> 00:35:31,882
Nothing has gone right for them since.
Well, that could change tonight.

564
00:35:31,915 --> 00:35:33,467
[Tessitore] We talked
about the ring awareness

565
00:35:33,500 --> 00:35:36,803
you need to have in a Triple Threat
tag team with the blind tags.

566
00:35:36,837 --> 00:35:39,205
There's nowhere to hide, as you say, Wade.

567
00:35:41,909 --> 00:35:43,877
[Barrett] Some of
these competitors wish they--

568
00:35:43,911 --> 00:35:45,812
[Tessitore] Oh, the tourniquet.

569
00:35:45,846 --> 00:35:48,048
[Barrett]
Nicely connecting there from Kit.

570
00:35:49,449 --> 00:35:51,884
[Tessitore] Big boot springboard
from Berto.

571
00:35:51,919 --> 00:35:54,770
[Barrett] Things are turning
in the blink of an eye in this one.

572
00:35:56,089 --> 00:35:58,942
[Tessitore] Everybody
is showing their weaponry here.

573
00:36:05,165 --> 00:36:10,203
And now the 5-hole to the outside
taking out three of them by Chris Sabin.

574
00:36:11,205 --> 00:36:14,591
[Barrett] Unmatched cohesion
from the Motor City Machine Guns.

575
00:36:14,625 --> 00:36:16,343
Two bodies, one mind.

576
00:36:16,375 --> 00:36:17,711
And this could be the--

577
00:36:17,743 --> 00:36:20,647
[Tessitore] Oh, they're lining up
Skull and Bones.

578
00:36:20,681 --> 00:36:25,586
Kit pushes him off. And the back slide
by Pretty Deadly.

579
00:36:25,618 --> 00:36:26,970
-And the win!
-[bell rings]

580
00:36:27,004 --> 00:36:29,589
-[Barrett] Yes, boy!
-["On And On" playing]

581
00:36:29,623 --> 00:36:31,758
[Garcia] Here are your winners,

582
00:36:31,792 --> 00:36:34,595
Pretty Deadly!

583
00:36:34,627 --> 00:36:37,564
[Barrett] We've got new
number one contenders.

584
00:36:37,598 --> 00:36:40,433
It's the boys from England,
the Killer Queens.

585
00:36:40,467 --> 00:36:44,555
Who will they face?
Will it be the Street Profits?

586
00:36:44,587 --> 00:36:48,509
Will it be DIY?
We're gonna find out next week.

587
00:36:48,542 --> 00:36:52,980
But tonight, Pretty Deadly, quick
thinking, got everything they wanted.

588
00:36:55,048 --> 00:36:58,018
[Tessitore] That's a big win. Hey,
we heard from Randy Orton earlier tonight.

589
00:36:58,551 --> 00:37:02,538
But that wasn't the only shocking return
that happened in Toronto last week.

590
00:37:02,573 --> 00:37:06,509
It was how the night started
that got so much attention

591
00:37:06,543 --> 00:37:08,662
with an angry Jade Cargill back in action.

592
00:37:08,694 --> 00:37:12,616
And Bianca Belair, Naomi relationship,
it may never be the same.

593
00:37:12,649 --> 00:37:14,334
And what Bianca had to watch…

594
00:37:17,404 --> 00:37:19,606
[Barrett]
Yeah, so this the match from Saturday.

595
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,776
When no one expected it,
the Storm, Jade Cargill,

596
00:37:22,808 --> 00:37:25,828
returned months after a mystery attack.

597
00:37:25,863 --> 00:37:27,897
It appeared that the prime suspect,

598
00:37:28,464 --> 00:37:31,718
Liv Morgan, was about to face
some consequences,

599
00:37:31,752 --> 00:37:34,621
and then to shock the world,

600
00:37:34,654 --> 00:37:41,211
not least, Bianca Belair, who was close
to hysterics, looking on in horror.

601
00:37:41,995 --> 00:37:46,984
We witnessed Naomi being the ire
of Jade Cargill's attack.

602
00:37:47,017 --> 00:37:50,988
One of the most savage beatdowns
we've ever seen in the women's division.

603
00:37:51,738 --> 00:37:58,212
Cargill ultimately taking Naomi
out of the match, leaving us all,

604
00:37:58,245 --> 00:38:01,732
especially Bianca Belair,
wanting some answers.

605
00:38:01,765 --> 00:38:05,685
[Tessitore] Well, I mean she's trapped
in the pod and has to witness that,

606
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,654
and we are gonna hear from Bianca Belair

607
00:38:08,689 --> 00:38:12,692
after all that fallout from
this past Saturday's Elimination Chamber,

608
00:38:12,726 --> 00:38:14,361
that is coming your way.

609
00:38:14,394 --> 00:38:16,212
Do not go anywhere.

610
00:38:25,305 --> 00:38:27,540
[Tessitore] Sold-out Wells Fargo Center,

611
00:38:27,574 --> 00:38:31,478
they were roaring
when Randy Orton started our evening,

612
00:38:31,511 --> 00:38:34,848
and they saw Charlotte Flair
attack Tiffany Stratton

613
00:38:34,882 --> 00:38:39,169
and sitting nearby ringside here
are the 76ers.

614
00:38:39,203 --> 00:38:42,089
They're going to host the Jazz
come Sunday,

615
00:38:42,122 --> 00:38:45,741
and they have been loving
the action ringside.

616
00:38:45,776 --> 00:38:49,496
Of course, these Philly fans,
you can get a mixed reaction

617
00:38:49,529 --> 00:38:52,031
when you have certain struggles
during the season.

618
00:39:00,406 --> 00:39:03,877
Ain't no way. Ain't no way.

619
00:39:04,678 --> 00:39:05,946
No.

620
00:39:06,846 --> 00:39:10,750
No, no. No, no, no.

621
00:39:13,319 --> 00:39:16,056
Oh, God. No, no, no.

622
00:39:19,710 --> 00:39:24,198
No! No! No! What are you doing?

623
00:39:30,837 --> 00:39:35,375
[Tessitore] We are gonna take a look back
at one of the most shocking moments

624
00:39:35,409 --> 00:39:41,781
in WWE history, and we will hear from
the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.

625
00:39:41,815 --> 00:39:43,700
That's later tonight.

626
00:39:49,556 --> 00:39:51,674
-["Watch Me Shine" playing]
-[crowd cheers]

627
00:39:51,708 --> 00:39:54,645
[Tessitore] She likes to say you can't
spell WrestleMania without EST,

628
00:39:54,678 --> 00:39:59,499
and now Mania 41 is gonna have
Bianca Belair in a championship match.

629
00:40:01,384 --> 00:40:02,502
[Garcia] Ladies and gentlemen,

630
00:40:02,536 --> 00:40:09,209
please welcome Bianca Belair!

631
00:40:12,746 --> 00:40:15,165
[Barrett] Well, what a week
it has been for Bianca Belair.

632
00:40:15,199 --> 00:40:17,284
After winning the Elimination Chamber,

633
00:40:17,317 --> 00:40:21,522
Belair sat at ringside this week on Raw,
knowing she would face the winner

634
00:40:21,555 --> 00:40:26,926
of Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky
at the Showcase of the Immortals,

635
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:31,915
but Rhea Ripley allowed herself
to be distracted by Belair,

636
00:40:31,949 --> 00:40:36,569
a brief shoving match,
took her eye off Iyo Sky.

637
00:40:37,471 --> 00:40:41,508
And it was the genius of the Sky
who seized the moment

638
00:40:42,808 --> 00:40:45,312
and one Over The Moonsault later,

639
00:40:46,446 --> 00:40:49,950
became the new Women's World Champion,

640
00:40:49,982 --> 00:40:55,422
locking in a date with destiny
with Elimination Chamber winner,

641
00:40:55,455 --> 00:40:57,156
Bianca Belair.

642
00:40:58,575 --> 00:41:03,346
Really a massively frustrated
Rhea Ripley letting herself down.

643
00:41:04,181 --> 00:41:07,034
[Tessitore] You know, Iyo countering
that Riptide attempt off the top rope,

644
00:41:07,067 --> 00:41:08,067
that was special.

645
00:41:08,101 --> 00:41:10,237
So now WrestleMania 41, Wade,

646
00:41:10,270 --> 00:41:12,022
Women's World Championship match,

647
00:41:12,055 --> 00:41:15,058
the new champ, Iyo Sky, against Belair.

648
00:41:43,569 --> 00:41:47,991
You know, I should really feel like
I'm on top of the world right now

649
00:41:48,025 --> 00:41:49,810
after winning Elimination Chamber.

650
00:41:53,747 --> 00:41:58,151
And I should really be focused
on going to WrestleMania, but, um,

651
00:41:59,319 --> 00:42:03,073
it's really hard to do that
when two of your friends are fighting.

652
00:42:07,728 --> 00:42:10,096
You know, I've formed a bond
with both of these women.

653
00:42:11,131 --> 00:42:14,902
Jade and I, we elevated
the tag team division together

654
00:42:14,935 --> 00:42:19,973
and Naomi, she stepped in so all
that hard work wouldn't go to waste.

655
00:42:21,792 --> 00:42:23,243
And Naomi…

656
00:42:24,845 --> 00:42:29,433
We were close before,
but once we formed that tag team,

657
00:42:30,651 --> 00:42:33,871
I can honestly say she…
she became my best friend.

658
00:42:38,208 --> 00:42:42,880
So, no, no, no, I do not believe
that Naomi would do something like that.

659
00:42:44,681 --> 00:42:46,567
I know, I know, but then again,
I'm so confused,

660
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,502
like, I literally feel
like I'm going crazy,

661
00:42:48,535 --> 00:42:52,172
and now I'm being accused,
so I need some answers.

662
00:42:54,908 --> 00:42:58,444
Naomi's not texting me back.
Jade's not talking to me.

663
00:42:58,478 --> 00:43:02,015
I feel like I'm losing both of my friends,
so Naomi, I know you're back there,

664
00:43:02,049 --> 00:43:05,935
and I need you to come out here
and give me some answers right now.

665
00:43:10,741 --> 00:43:12,743
["Glow" playing]

666
00:43:18,749 --> 00:43:22,870
[Barrett] Well, here we go, Joe Tess,
what a murky situation.

667
00:43:22,903 --> 00:43:24,571
[Tessitore] Wade,
she's got the neck brace on.

668
00:43:24,605 --> 00:43:27,891
[Barrett] I'm not surprised
after the beatdown Naomi took

669
00:43:27,924 --> 00:43:30,961
in the Elimination Chamber
at the hands of Jade Cargill.

670
00:43:30,993 --> 00:43:36,466
The question is,
was Naomi the original assailant

671
00:43:36,500 --> 00:43:39,286
to Jade Cargill several months ago,

672
00:43:39,319 --> 00:43:43,874
or is she simply a victim
of an unwarranted attack?

673
00:43:43,906 --> 00:43:47,361
I want some answers,
and clearly, Belair feels the same way.

674
00:44:06,279 --> 00:44:10,317
Naomi, what in the hell is going on?

675
00:44:12,502 --> 00:44:16,940
BB, this is not at all what it looks like,

676
00:44:16,973 --> 00:44:19,359
and I need you to lock in with me,

677
00:44:19,393 --> 00:44:22,045
and I need you to understand
what I'm about to say.

678
00:44:23,714 --> 00:44:26,866
I'm gonna ask you this.

679
00:44:26,900 --> 00:44:31,504
When Jade couldn't compete,
who stepped up, who had your back,

680
00:44:32,656 --> 00:44:37,009
and who made sure you didn't have
to relinquish those tag team titles?

681
00:44:37,044 --> 00:44:39,279
Naomi, stop. Stop.

682
00:44:41,147 --> 00:44:44,051
Did you attack Jade?

683
00:44:45,185 --> 00:44:49,173
B, all of this outside noise

684
00:44:49,857 --> 00:44:55,746
is nothing but distraction from what
you and I really need to be focused on,

685
00:44:57,013 --> 00:45:00,868
which is getting our tag team titles back
from Liv and Raquel

686
00:45:01,801 --> 00:45:05,321
and you focusing
on WrestleMania, that's it.

687
00:45:06,807 --> 00:45:07,857
Naomi, stop.

688
00:45:08,859 --> 00:45:13,297
Because you're talking about everything
else other than what we are here for.

689
00:45:13,330 --> 00:45:14,932
We are here for Jade.

690
00:45:15,732 --> 00:45:19,152
Jade, that's what we're here for.
Stop talking about everything else.

691
00:45:19,903 --> 00:45:21,471
It is about Jade right now.

692
00:45:22,522 --> 00:45:23,624
Jade.

693
00:45:24,391 --> 00:45:27,426
Jade, Jade, Jade.

694
00:45:27,461 --> 00:45:28,662
Jade.

695
00:45:30,547 --> 00:45:33,250
You really wanna know
how I feel about Jade?

696
00:45:33,283 --> 00:45:34,935
I do. That's what I'm asking.

697
00:45:34,968 --> 00:45:36,236
All right.

698
00:45:36,270 --> 00:45:39,038
I'm gonna tell you,
and I never said this before, B,

699
00:45:39,071 --> 00:45:40,691
'cause I ain't wanna be messy,

700
00:45:40,723 --> 00:45:42,625
and I ain't wanna hurt
her little feelings.

701
00:45:43,944 --> 00:45:46,446
But the truth is, the way I see Jade,

702
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,683
I feel like she been piggybacking off
on you the entire time.

703
00:45:58,025 --> 00:46:03,029
That is my truth, and I have been forced
to watch someone like Jade

704
00:46:03,063 --> 00:46:07,134
succeed off of your excellence,
off of your experience,

705
00:46:07,167 --> 00:46:12,538
off of your hard work while I was left,
pushed to the side,

706
00:46:12,573 --> 00:46:17,644
to fight for myself every match,
and I didn't say a word.

707
00:46:17,678 --> 00:46:21,397
I let y'all get y'all flowers.
I let y'all be great.

708
00:46:22,216 --> 00:46:25,903
And I was proud of y'all,
and I didn't say a freaking word,

709
00:46:25,935 --> 00:46:29,272
but deep down, that's the way I feel.

710
00:46:29,306 --> 00:46:32,975
And, no, I don't give a damn about Jade,

711
00:46:33,009 --> 00:46:35,996
'cause she didn't give a damn
about Bianca.

712
00:46:36,029 --> 00:46:40,350
-Stop, stop, stop. Stop. Naomi, stop.
-She's an opportunist.

713
00:46:42,002 --> 00:46:43,502
-B, you ask for the truth.
-No!

714
00:46:43,537 --> 00:46:45,788
-I do want the truth. I want the truth.
-I'm giving you the truth.

715
00:46:45,821 --> 00:46:46,957
You're gaslighting me right now.

716
00:46:46,990 --> 00:46:48,692
[both bickering, screaming]

717
00:46:48,725 --> 00:46:51,478
[Naomi] Every time I stand up for myself…

718
00:46:51,511 --> 00:46:53,346
-Tell me the truth.
-[Naomi] …people turn their backs,

719
00:46:53,379 --> 00:46:56,049
-and wanna walk out on me--
-[screaming] Stop!

720
00:46:56,083 --> 00:46:57,116
Stop!

721
00:47:05,025 --> 00:47:06,475
It is very simple.

722
00:47:08,345 --> 00:47:09,629
It is a, "Yes."

723
00:47:10,346 --> 00:47:11,964
Or it is a, "No."

724
00:47:11,999 --> 00:47:14,634
And I need you to tell me right now,
'cause I will walk out of this ring,

725
00:47:14,667 --> 00:47:18,205
and you will never hear from me again,
so tell me here, right now.

726
00:47:51,288 --> 00:47:52,356
I did it.

727
00:47:52,388 --> 00:47:53,524
[crowd groans]

728
00:47:58,377 --> 00:48:01,181
There you go, B. I did it.

729
00:48:02,616 --> 00:48:05,435
Yeah, I did it. I did it for you.

730
00:48:05,469 --> 00:48:07,754
-[Belair sobs]
-I did it for us.

731
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:11,959
It was always supposed to be me.

732
00:48:13,460 --> 00:48:15,279
This whole time…

733
00:48:15,312 --> 00:48:16,930
This whole time…

734
00:48:16,964 --> 00:48:19,116
No, no, no.

735
00:48:19,149 --> 00:48:20,701
-B--
-[screams] Don't touch me!

736
00:48:25,906 --> 00:48:28,759
You wanna know why this hurts so bad?

737
00:48:29,526 --> 00:48:31,595
Because of how much I love you.

738
00:48:32,479 --> 00:48:34,915
-I love you--
-No, don't say nothing else to me.

739
00:48:34,948 --> 00:48:37,116
I don't wanna hear nothing else.
You said enough.

740
00:48:37,150 --> 00:48:39,118
I can't even look at you right now.

741
00:48:41,622 --> 00:48:44,024
So this, me and you…

742
00:48:46,058 --> 00:48:47,144
We're done.

743
00:48:47,176 --> 00:48:48,328
[crowd groans]

744
00:48:51,632 --> 00:48:53,267
Why? Because of her?

745
00:48:54,100 --> 00:48:56,553
B, come talk to me.

746
00:48:59,339 --> 00:49:01,607
No, wait…

747
00:49:03,310 --> 00:49:05,929
[sobbing]

748
00:49:05,962 --> 00:49:07,748
B, I'm sorry.

749
00:49:08,448 --> 00:49:10,716
[sobs] B!

750
00:49:13,670 --> 00:49:17,307
[screaming] B, I did this for you!
You just don't understand that right now.

751
00:49:18,991 --> 00:49:22,245
-[groans] B!
-[crowd chanting] You deserve it!

752
00:49:22,279 --> 00:49:25,365
[screaming] B! Don't walk out on me!

753
00:49:27,500 --> 00:49:29,069
You know what? You wanted the truth.

754
00:49:29,102 --> 00:49:31,839
The truth is I wish I would
have pushed her harder.

755
00:49:31,872 --> 00:49:33,624
[crowd groans]

756
00:49:35,008 --> 00:49:36,827
I should have pushed her sooner!

757
00:49:41,949 --> 00:49:46,587
Every time I start to clock in
and stand up for myself,

758
00:49:46,620 --> 00:49:48,055
all of y'all turn on me.

759
00:49:49,957 --> 00:49:52,893
That's exactly what you're doing, Bianca.

760
00:49:53,393 --> 00:49:55,379
You ungrateful ****!

761
00:49:55,412 --> 00:49:57,330
-[crowd jeers]
-[Tessitore] Oh.

762
00:50:01,518 --> 00:50:02,618
[mic thuds]

763
00:50:11,345 --> 00:50:13,747
[crowd cheers]

764
00:50:14,598 --> 00:50:16,399
[Tessitore] Jade Cargill is here.

765
00:50:18,067 --> 00:50:22,772
After three words just acted
like a guillotine in the relationship

766
00:50:22,806 --> 00:50:25,475
of Belair and Naomi, "I did it."

767
00:50:25,509 --> 00:50:27,227
And here comes Jade.

768
00:50:28,028 --> 00:50:32,499
[Barrett] Mop up the tears, Naomi,
and get your running shoes on.

769
00:50:42,725 --> 00:50:44,761
[Tessitore] Think
of the level of betrayal,

770
00:50:44,795 --> 00:50:47,647
the level of betrayal
that was just admitted to.

771
00:50:48,699 --> 00:50:52,419
[Barrett] Forget about betrayal.
Right now, this is about vengeance, Joe.

772
00:50:54,187 --> 00:50:57,824
[Tessitore] A week ago,
she returned and smashed her neck

773
00:50:58,625 --> 00:51:02,629
with that minivan steel door
of the Chamber, and now she pulls her back

774
00:51:02,663 --> 00:51:04,882
and is on the attack again. Jade Cargill.

775
00:51:04,915 --> 00:51:06,500
[Barrett] Jade Cargill
looking completely--

776
00:51:06,533 --> 00:51:09,419
[Tessitore] Oh! Right on top
of our announce table.

777
00:51:09,987 --> 00:51:11,721
And just beating her down.

778
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,643
[Barrett] I mean, you can't blame Cargill.

779
00:51:17,778 --> 00:51:20,964
What an emotional powder keg this is.

780
00:51:23,317 --> 00:51:27,337
[Tessitore] An eruption of emotion
and rage and now violence,

781
00:51:28,288 --> 00:51:32,259
as Cargill is on the attack against Naomi.

782
00:51:32,292 --> 00:51:34,778
[Barrett] The Big Three is done for good.

783
00:51:36,296 --> 00:51:39,266
What an act of treachery by Naomi.

784
00:51:41,167 --> 00:51:42,368
[Tessitore] Jaded!

785
00:51:47,924 --> 00:51:52,962
-And what more needs to be seen or said.
-["A Storm Is Coming" playing]

786
00:51:54,298 --> 00:51:57,267
"I did it," and she just felt it.

787
00:51:59,118 --> 00:52:00,553
Incredible raw motion

788
00:52:01,187 --> 00:52:05,475
that we've seen here coming off
what we saw at Elimination Chamber.

789
00:52:06,310 --> 00:52:09,613
And Elimination Chamber, Wade,
that I think in so many ways

790
00:52:09,645 --> 00:52:11,949
has acted as the fuse for now,

791
00:52:11,982 --> 00:52:16,987
these explosive feuds that we have seen,
and we're surrounded by, including

792
00:52:17,020 --> 00:52:20,857
two recent World Heavyweight Champions,
Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest.

793
00:52:24,778 --> 00:52:27,531
[Barrett] So this was the men's
Elimination Chamber match.

794
00:52:27,564 --> 00:52:32,786
Drew McIntyre connecting with a Claymore
on John Cena, taking his eye off the ball,

795
00:52:32,819 --> 00:52:35,955
momentarily when Damian Priest,

796
00:52:35,989 --> 00:52:39,526
a man who also eliminated McIntyre
in the Royal Rumble,

797
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:44,448
pinned Drew and blew
his WrestleMania plans out of the water.

798
00:52:44,481 --> 00:52:51,171
Some vengeance afterwards for McIntyre
on Priest, capitalized on by Logan Paul,

799
00:52:51,205 --> 00:52:55,192
who then ended Damian Priest's
chances in the same movement.

800
00:52:55,225 --> 00:52:59,897
Well, this was earlier on this evening
when McIntyre arrived at the building,

801
00:53:00,948 --> 00:53:07,004
taking some swift vengeance on Damian
Priest as soon as he set eyes on the man.

802
00:53:07,971 --> 00:53:14,294
And this is a Drew McIntyre
who is back at his absolute worst.

803
00:53:22,169 --> 00:53:23,203
[Saxton] Excuse me, Drew.

804
00:53:23,237 --> 00:53:25,556
I know you have your match
against Jimmy Uso later on tonight,

805
00:53:25,589 --> 00:53:29,743
but I wanna ask you about your attack
on Damian Priest earlier on tonight.

806
00:53:29,776 --> 00:53:31,828
Some people are saying it was unprovoked.

807
00:53:34,481 --> 00:53:37,600
Byron, have you been watching
the product this past year?

808
00:53:37,634 --> 00:53:38,685
Do you listen?

809
00:53:39,736 --> 00:53:43,173
So many people are so shocked
about John Cena's actions last Saturday,

810
00:53:43,207 --> 00:53:45,759
like I didn't come out on SmackDown
last week and tell everyone

811
00:53:45,792 --> 00:53:47,661
what kind of person he is.

812
00:53:48,178 --> 00:53:50,830
I would have prevented so many people
having their heart broken

813
00:53:50,864 --> 00:53:53,066
when a Claymored him
in his big stupid head in the Chamber,

814
00:53:53,100 --> 00:53:56,737
but then Damian Priest had to slither in
and steal the pin from behind,

815
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:59,705
taking away my last chance
at the world title at WrestleMania.

816
00:54:00,924 --> 00:54:01,991
Unprovoked?

817
00:54:03,009 --> 00:54:04,645
I'd call it well-deserved.

818
00:54:05,178 --> 00:54:07,029
We're on the path to WrestleMania.

819
00:54:07,064 --> 00:54:09,883
Because of Priest, I got nothing.

820
00:54:11,335 --> 00:54:12,653
I got nothing to give

821
00:54:13,787 --> 00:54:15,489
but violence.

822
00:54:16,006 --> 00:54:19,026
And it starts tonight
with the black sheep of the family.

823
00:54:22,980 --> 00:54:25,281
[Tessitore] Our Byron Saxton
with Drew McIntyre.

824
00:54:25,315 --> 00:54:26,316
[Barrett] Oh, God.

825
00:54:26,350 --> 00:54:29,152
[Tessitore] Oh, you want 385 pounds
of angry and focused?

826
00:54:29,185 --> 00:54:30,187
You've got it, Wade.

827
00:54:30,220 --> 00:54:34,174
Everyone about to find out in the form of…

828
00:54:34,207 --> 00:54:39,046
[Barrett] One big SOB.

829
00:54:46,136 --> 00:54:47,187
[bell rings]

830
00:54:47,221 --> 00:54:50,824
[Garcia] This next match
is scheduled for one fall.

831
00:54:50,857 --> 00:54:55,863
Introducing first,
weighing in at 355 pounds,

832
00:54:55,895 --> 00:55:00,783
Braun Strowman!

833
00:55:01,468 --> 00:55:03,470
[Tessitore] Since he transferred
over to SmackDown,

834
00:55:03,502 --> 00:55:05,489
Braun Strowman has dealt with a lot.

835
00:55:06,423 --> 00:55:08,859
Lost the chance
to be in the Elimination Chamber.

836
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:14,047
Can avenge that tonight
because it's Strowman against Solo Sikoa.

837
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:18,352
That is coming up next
from a red-hot Wells Fargo Center,

838
00:55:18,384 --> 00:55:20,220
a sellout here in Philly.

839
00:55:29,796 --> 00:55:34,067
Deep breath. Exhale, kick it out.
Three, two, one.

840
00:55:35,067 --> 00:55:36,286
[knock on door]

841
00:55:36,319 --> 00:55:37,604
[Rhodes] Little surprise visit.

842
00:55:38,187 --> 00:55:39,906
-Surprise visit?
-[Rhodes] Hey, hey, hey.

843
00:55:39,940 --> 00:55:41,191
-[chuckling] Oh.
-Hey, hey, hey.

844
00:55:41,225 --> 00:55:43,743
-Look who's here.
-How are you? You doing all right?

845
00:55:43,777 --> 00:55:45,828
-I'm doing great.
-Is he putting you through it down here?

846
00:55:45,863 --> 00:55:47,346
-He is.
-Oh, my gosh.

847
00:55:47,381 --> 00:55:53,787
On behalf of WWE, uh, we would
like you to be part of the 2025 class

848
00:55:53,819 --> 00:55:56,455
of the WWE Hall of Fame.

849
00:55:56,490 --> 00:55:57,607
Wow.

850
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,710
[Page] You gotta stand up
and give him a hug for that, bud.

851
00:55:59,743 --> 00:56:03,596
-Oh, yeah.
-Ah. [chuckles]

852
00:56:04,198 --> 00:56:06,299
-You're good.
-[laughing]

853
00:56:07,801 --> 00:56:10,037
[Tessitore] That's how you act like
a champion, isn't it, Wade?

854
00:56:10,069 --> 00:56:13,257
What a weekend it's gonna be in Vegas,

855
00:56:13,290 --> 00:56:16,859
as we will all stand up and cheer on
and congratulate Lex Luger,

856
00:56:16,894 --> 00:56:18,812
who will be making his way
to the Hall of Fame.

857
00:56:18,846 --> 00:56:21,964
[Barrett] One of the greatest physiques
in the history of the industry.

858
00:56:21,999 --> 00:56:24,334
Loved The Narcissist when I was a kid.

859
00:56:24,368 --> 00:56:28,856
Congrats, Lex Luger,
on being in the WWE Hall of Fame.

860
00:56:31,692 --> 00:56:33,961
I managed to track down Charlotte Flair,

861
00:56:33,993 --> 00:56:36,062
and Charlotte, I'm hoping
you can shed some light

862
00:56:36,096 --> 00:56:39,383
on why you decided to ambush
Tiffany Stratton tonight,

863
00:56:39,415 --> 00:56:43,220
especially after she had
such a grueling match against Piper Niven.

864
00:56:43,953 --> 00:56:48,392
Ambush? No. You see, I warned Tiffany
after the fun and games were over

865
00:56:48,424 --> 00:56:50,727
that I was going to be everywhere she was.

866
00:56:50,761 --> 00:56:52,495
It was her fault she didn't listen,

867
00:56:52,529 --> 00:56:55,682
and it seems like the division
has gone a little soft

868
00:56:55,716 --> 00:56:57,750
for a threat like Charlotte Flair.

869
00:56:57,783 --> 00:57:01,238
Here. Here's the thing, every time
I come back, I have to remind people

870
00:57:01,270 --> 00:57:04,074
that there are levels to what we do.

871
00:57:04,107 --> 00:57:06,292
[B-Fab] Wait, wait, wait, wait. [sighs]

872
00:57:07,227 --> 00:57:10,129
And I hope I'm wrong,
but I know you wasn't over here talking

873
00:57:10,163 --> 00:57:11,915
about the women's division is soft.

874
00:57:11,949 --> 00:57:13,700
No, you heard me correctly.

875
00:57:13,734 --> 00:57:16,703
Clearly, the division has
been lacking a little talent

876
00:57:16,736 --> 00:57:18,238
since the queen has been gone.

877
00:57:19,038 --> 00:57:22,176
No one compares to me.

878
00:57:23,109 --> 00:57:26,145
Look, Charlotte,
I know you've been gone a long time,

879
00:57:26,180 --> 00:57:29,015
but nobody wants to compare to you.

880
00:57:29,049 --> 00:57:31,018
We want our own legacies.

881
00:57:31,051 --> 00:57:34,136
Nobody is interested
in bowing down to you anymore.

882
00:57:35,772 --> 00:57:37,591
Yeah, you see, that's where you're wrong.

883
00:57:38,241 --> 00:57:42,446
Everyone eventually
bows down to the Queen.

884
00:57:43,913 --> 00:57:45,699
Oh, you know what? I have an idea.

885
00:57:45,732 --> 00:57:48,719
How about I see you in the ring
next week in Barcelona,

886
00:57:48,752 --> 00:57:50,988
and I'll show you how to bow down.

887
00:57:52,339 --> 00:57:53,339
Ciao.

888
00:57:57,094 --> 00:58:01,548
[Tessitore] B-Fab and Charlotte Flair
next week in Spain.

889
00:58:01,582 --> 00:58:03,901
A week ago at this time,
Braun Strowman was viewed

890
00:58:03,933 --> 00:58:07,754
as the big issue in that one night
only number one contenders tournament

891
00:58:07,788 --> 00:58:11,692
for the US Championship, but he had
to watch as Carmelo Hayes flopped.

892
00:58:11,725 --> 00:58:12,725
["Taking It All" playing]

893
00:58:12,759 --> 00:58:15,444
[Tessitore] And a DQ loss
was a stinging reality.

894
00:58:16,547 --> 00:58:21,335
And now, here's the man to blame
for much of those antics a week ago.

895
00:58:25,906 --> 00:58:29,759
[Garcia] And his opponent
from Las Vegas, Nevada,

896
00:58:29,792 --> 00:58:32,562
weighing in at 250 pounds,

897
00:58:32,596 --> 00:58:36,633
Solo Sikoa!

898
00:58:38,551 --> 00:58:41,154
[Barrett] So as you mentioned
a little earlier, Joe,

899
00:58:41,187 --> 00:58:45,442
let's take it back three weeks ago. We had
an Elimination Chamber qualifying match.

900
00:58:45,475 --> 00:58:49,846
Braun Strowman taking on Jacob Fatu,
Damian Priest, when out of nowhere,

901
00:58:49,879 --> 00:58:53,951
Solo Sikoa arrived and took Strowman down.

902
00:58:53,984 --> 00:58:57,270
Now last week on SmackDown,
it was the US Title tournament.

903
00:58:57,303 --> 00:59:01,424
Braun was taken on Carmelo Hayes.
When Solo struck again,

904
00:59:01,457 --> 00:59:03,660
it backfired badly.

905
00:59:03,694 --> 00:59:08,749
However, Carmelo Hayes,
never one to turn down an opportunity,

906
00:59:08,781 --> 00:59:12,169
stole a page out
of the Eddie Guerrero playbook

907
00:59:12,202 --> 00:59:15,589
and got an irate Strowman disqualified,

908
00:59:16,106 --> 00:59:19,692
leaving Strowman to exact
a modicum of revenge

909
00:59:20,460 --> 00:59:21,962
against Tama Tonga.

910
00:59:21,995 --> 00:59:25,999
The Monster Among Men is highly frustrated

911
00:59:26,033 --> 00:59:30,419
and needs to deal
with this thorn in his side, Solo Sikoa.

912
00:59:30,453 --> 00:59:32,489
[Tessitore] Look at the look
he's giving Solo Sikoa.

913
00:59:32,522 --> 00:59:37,243
That was, by the way, an outstanding night
of action in Toronto last week with that

914
00:59:37,277 --> 00:59:41,948
single-night tournament
to determine the number one contender,

915
00:59:41,982 --> 00:59:44,651
which will get paid off later tonight.

916
00:59:44,685 --> 00:59:48,555
LA Knight, Shinsuke Nakamura,
the US Championship match.

917
00:59:48,589 --> 00:59:52,276
[Barrett] Yeah, massive main event,
but you know for a fact, Braun Strowman

918
00:59:52,308 --> 00:59:54,094
expected to be in that match tonight.

919
00:59:54,127 --> 00:59:57,964
The reason he's not,
in large part, Solo Sikoa.

920
01:00:04,770 --> 01:00:08,308
[Tessitore] Sikoa tested the strength
of the Big Man early on, finding out.

921
01:00:11,495 --> 01:00:13,413
As he gets sent over that top rope.

922
01:00:13,446 --> 01:00:16,033
[Barrett] Things are very different
with Braun Strowman

923
01:00:16,066 --> 01:00:18,352
when you're not able to
cheap shot him from behind,

924
01:00:18,384 --> 01:00:19,786
and keep your eyes peeled, Solo.

925
01:00:19,819 --> 01:00:21,288
[Tessitore] Here he comes. Oh!

926
01:00:21,321 --> 01:00:25,024
And he gets out of the way,
and the steel steps go flying,

927
01:00:25,058 --> 01:00:27,194
almost came back down on Braun Strowman.

928
01:00:27,227 --> 01:00:30,564
[Barrett] Incredibly nimble footwork
there from Solo Sikoa.

929
01:00:31,098 --> 01:00:34,350
[Tessitore] Oh, and what
a big running hip attack

930
01:00:34,384 --> 01:00:35,986
right into the barrier.

931
01:00:36,837 --> 01:00:40,874
Solo Sikoa off to a great start
against the big guy.

932
01:00:44,928 --> 01:00:47,446
[Tessitore] Solo Sikoa,
his first singles match

933
01:00:47,481 --> 01:00:52,919
since losing that tribal combat match
to Roman Reigns back on the January 6th

934
01:00:53,687 --> 01:00:55,556
edition of Monday Night Raw.

935
01:00:55,589 --> 01:00:58,558
[Barrett] Sikoa was at risk
of getting himself into a funk

936
01:00:58,591 --> 01:00:59,926
in the aftermath of that,

937
01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:02,479
but what a victory it would be
if he could put away Strowman,

938
01:01:02,513 --> 01:01:04,181
but I don't know if you have the--

939
01:01:04,214 --> 01:01:06,250
-Oh, yes you do!
-[Tessitore] Oh! Samoan drop

940
01:01:06,283 --> 01:01:08,986
of 385 pounds, Wade!

941
01:01:09,019 --> 01:01:12,556
[Barrett] Wow, that might have
taken everything out of Solo Sikoa,

942
01:01:12,589 --> 01:01:15,576
but he pulled it off,
and he's pretty proud of himself.

943
01:01:15,609 --> 01:01:19,162
Don't admire yourself too much,
even though that was a hella

944
01:01:19,196 --> 01:01:21,647
impressive move from Sikoa.

945
01:01:21,682 --> 01:01:24,417
Get the job finished, celebrate after.

946
01:01:26,220 --> 01:01:29,223
[Tessitore] He has been a menace
for Braun Strowman in recent weeks,

947
01:01:29,256 --> 01:01:32,091
the spike that cost him
an elimination qualifier.

948
01:01:32,125 --> 01:01:34,211
Here's the running hip attack.

949
01:01:34,243 --> 01:01:38,397
Of course, Braun Strowman knows that
all too well at the hands of Jacob Fatu.

950
01:01:39,482 --> 01:01:41,734
And now Solo Sikoa delivering it.

951
01:01:42,719 --> 01:01:44,937
[Barrett] Effective and punishing

952
01:01:44,971 --> 01:01:47,841
as anything Strowman
has ever faced in his career.

953
01:01:47,875 --> 01:01:51,261
Solo Sikoa knows it.
The man's done his homework.

954
01:01:52,245 --> 01:01:56,183
This is the road map to victory
and maximum carnage.

955
01:01:57,134 --> 01:01:58,669
[Tessitore] Looking to line up one.

956
01:01:58,702 --> 01:02:02,189
Generating all that speed,
but no, he eats the big boot.

957
01:02:02,221 --> 01:02:03,991
[Barrett] Well, you take too long
against Strowman,

958
01:02:04,024 --> 01:02:05,609
-you're gonna regret it.
-[Tessitore] Wow!

959
01:02:05,642 --> 01:02:08,562
Crossbody from Braun Strowman.

960
01:02:16,270 --> 01:02:17,921
How about delivering a little payback?

961
01:02:18,754 --> 01:02:20,473
[Barrett] Getting these hands now

962
01:02:20,506 --> 01:02:25,011
is the former street fighting champ
of the island, Solo Sikoa.

963
01:02:25,946 --> 01:02:29,216
[Tessitore] He's looking for that
Strowman Express one more time.

964
01:02:29,249 --> 01:02:32,085
[Barrett] Well, it failed the first time.
This is take two.

965
01:02:32,618 --> 01:02:36,272
[Tessitore] And he gets him.
Last time, he met the steel.

966
01:02:36,306 --> 01:02:40,827
[Barrett] Knocking Solo Sikoa
flat on his back.

967
01:02:42,913 --> 01:02:47,301
And now dinged up.
Is Solo Sikoa scrambling?

968
01:02:49,002 --> 01:02:52,189
Trying to get the brain, the mind reset,
trying to get back into this,

969
01:02:52,221 --> 01:02:53,640
but it may be too late.

970
01:02:53,674 --> 01:02:55,843
[Tessitore] Was looking
for that power slam that time,

971
01:02:55,875 --> 01:02:59,328
but Solo Sikoa able to turn things around.

972
01:02:59,363 --> 01:03:02,683
[Barrett] Smashing the hell out of that
left shoulder that ate it a little earlier

973
01:03:02,716 --> 01:03:04,151
on our ring steps.

974
01:03:04,183 --> 01:03:07,988
[Tessitore] Remember, two US Championship
title matches still to come your way.

975
01:03:08,821 --> 01:03:13,759
Cody Rhodes will join us live for
the first time since the turn in Toronto.

976
01:03:13,794 --> 01:03:18,714
There it is, the slam,
the hook of the leg for the win.

977
01:03:18,749 --> 01:03:20,884
-What in the world?
-[bell rings]

978
01:03:20,917 --> 01:03:23,787
Tama Tonga interrupts things.

979
01:03:24,337 --> 01:03:28,174
[Barrett] Well, if plan A don't work,
call on plan B. Here he is.

980
01:03:28,207 --> 01:03:31,011
-Tama Tonga about to wreck shop.
-[bell ringing]

981
01:03:31,645 --> 01:03:36,884
[Tessitore] Tama Tonga now getting wrecked
after disrupting the match.

982
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:38,769
The bell rings.

983
01:03:39,386 --> 01:03:42,573
-That's how the match ends.
-["Samoan Destroyer" playing]

984
01:03:44,073 --> 01:03:46,076
Oh, he sends him into to the timekeeper.

985
01:03:49,730 --> 01:03:54,268
As big Braun Strowman
clearly bothered by things,

986
01:03:54,301 --> 01:03:57,104
and now he's got familiar company,

987
01:03:57,136 --> 01:03:59,772
Jacob Fatu.

988
01:03:59,806 --> 01:04:04,211
[Barrett] Well, Strowman's problems
just got a whole hell of a lot worse.

989
01:04:04,828 --> 01:04:07,948
Out of the frying pan, into the fire

990
01:04:08,899 --> 01:04:12,285
with a Samoan Werewolf staring him down.

991
01:04:15,638 --> 01:04:18,542
[Tessitore] Time and again
in this calendar year,

992
01:04:18,575 --> 01:04:20,794
they have been face to face,

993
01:04:20,827 --> 01:04:23,614
and there has been brutality.

994
01:04:25,448 --> 01:04:30,803
And now each man willing
to climb up onto the apron.

995
01:04:32,205 --> 01:04:33,973
And square off.

996
01:04:34,006 --> 01:04:36,944
[crowd chanting] Fatu!

997
01:04:42,031 --> 01:04:44,151
Philly is loving it.

998
01:04:44,183 --> 01:04:47,354
Literally licking his lips is Fatu.

999
01:04:48,638 --> 01:04:51,091
[Barrett] Bloodthirsty animal.

1000
01:04:51,124 --> 01:04:53,527
-[Tessitore] Here they go, Wade.
-[Barrett] Backs down to nobody,

1001
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:57,029
even a monster like Braun Strowman.

1002
01:04:57,814 --> 01:05:00,267
[Tessitore] Fatu and Strowman,
oh, super kick.

1003
01:05:01,768 --> 01:05:05,923
And again,
and it sends him out onto the floor.

1004
01:05:05,955 --> 01:05:08,040
[Barrett] Oh, this is like something
out of the comic books.

1005
01:05:08,075 --> 01:05:09,576
Watch out, Joe, this ain't gonna be good.

1006
01:05:10,109 --> 01:05:13,297
-[Tessitore] Here comes Fatu!
-[Barrett] Oh!

1007
01:05:13,330 --> 01:05:16,683
[Barrett] Caught on the ropes
on his way over and, you know…

1008
01:05:16,716 --> 01:05:19,218
[Tessitore] Oh, man, oh, man!

1009
01:05:19,252 --> 01:05:21,254
[Barrett] Strowman capitalizing.

1010
01:05:23,089 --> 01:05:27,877
[Tessitore] That big SOB just slammed him
across our desk.

1011
01:05:30,714 --> 01:05:34,852
And now Fatu rises up
and from off the announced desk.

1012
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,506
[Barrett] Geez, this guy
is not built correctly.

1013
01:05:41,508 --> 01:05:47,698
[Tessitore] His ability to get back up
time and again, like no one else.

1014
01:05:48,932 --> 01:05:52,134
[Barrett] You cannot stop
what you cannot kill.

1015
01:05:52,169 --> 01:05:54,605
[Tessitore] Sends him over the barrier
and he's following him.

1016
01:05:59,009 --> 01:06:00,259
Oh, man!

1017
01:06:04,381 --> 01:06:06,716
Look at the size of these two.

1018
01:06:07,484 --> 01:06:09,770
[Barrett] He will take
a chokeslam on our table

1019
01:06:09,803 --> 01:06:12,388
and shrug it off in three seconds,

1020
01:06:12,422 --> 01:06:14,674
get straight back on the offense.

1021
01:06:15,475 --> 01:06:17,261
Where the hell are these two going now?

1022
01:06:17,294 --> 01:06:20,180
[Tessitore] They're all the way over there
in the tech area right now

1023
01:06:20,214 --> 01:06:21,881
on top of the tech crates.

1024
01:06:21,915 --> 01:06:23,183
A big super kick.

1025
01:06:23,799 --> 01:06:27,104
It just sends Strowman
draping over that top crate.

1026
01:06:27,136 --> 01:06:30,457
[Barrett] The referee's been screaming
for security to get out here

1027
01:06:30,490 --> 01:06:33,377
and get some order
and who can blame them for saying,

1028
01:06:33,410 --> 01:06:36,696
"Hell no, we're taking
the rest of the night off."

1029
01:06:36,730 --> 01:06:39,466
[Tessitore] And now Fatu
is joining him up top.

1030
01:06:40,984 --> 01:06:44,370
At the production tech area,

1031
01:06:44,404 --> 01:06:49,408
stands Fatu and 385 pounds
of big Braun Strowman.

1032
01:06:50,944 --> 01:06:54,548
[Barrett] Nothing positive can come
from this position.

1033
01:06:54,580 --> 01:06:57,100
[Tessitore] Are you kidding me?

1034
01:06:59,002 --> 01:07:01,288
Strowman able to get back on his feet.

1035
01:07:04,892 --> 01:07:09,245
Chokeslams Fatu down through
the tables below!

1036
01:07:17,870 --> 01:07:22,292
[Barrett] Oh, my God, take a look
at this massive chokeslam

1037
01:07:22,326 --> 01:07:23,810
through part of our set.

1038
01:07:23,843 --> 01:07:30,683
The frame of Jacob Fatu crashing down,
smashing everything below him.

1039
01:07:32,685 --> 01:07:38,625
And finally, perhaps the monster,
Braun Strowman making an epic statement.

1040
01:07:38,658 --> 01:07:42,062
[Tessitore] Just the way
these Philly fans prefer it.

1041
01:07:44,263 --> 01:07:46,366
["I Am Stronger" playing]

1042
01:07:47,701 --> 01:07:48,702

1043

-There's no way.

1044
01:07:53,140 --> 01:07:56,609
How does Fatu do this every single time?

Survives the biggest slams,
the biggest moments.

1046
01:08:08,555 --> 01:08:11,892
Strowman and Fatu
electric in Philly tonight.

1047
01:08:14,611 --> 01:08:17,548
I'll tell you, it's really hard to fathom
how much this conflict

1048
01:08:17,581 --> 01:08:22,385
between Jacob Fatu and Braun Strowman has
just escalated over the last few weeks.

1049
01:08:22,419 --> 01:08:24,504
Well, I will attempt to switch gears

1050
01:08:24,537 --> 01:08:28,858
and welcome in the man
who has championship aspirations

1051
01:08:28,892 --> 01:08:33,930
-here tonight on SmackDown, LA Knight.
-[crowd cheers]

1052
01:08:33,964 --> 01:08:37,134
You already set a mouthful there,
but here we are, so let me talk to you.

1053
01:08:37,166 --> 01:08:39,368
[crowd] Yeah!

1054
01:08:39,403 --> 01:08:44,023
I guess it was all gas,
no brakes on Jacob Fatu's big fat keister

1055
01:08:44,057 --> 01:08:45,274
going through that table, huh?

1056
01:08:45,309 --> 01:08:47,294
-Yeah!
-[crowd] Yeah!

1057
01:08:47,327 --> 01:08:50,147
What that means is the man
who cost me the US Championship

1058
01:08:50,179 --> 01:08:52,049
last time around out of the picture.

1059
01:08:52,081 --> 01:08:55,469
That means no distractions.
That means Shinsuke Nakamura tonight.

1060
01:08:55,501 --> 01:08:57,304
It is you. It is me.

01:08:59,656 --> 01:09:01,175
Which I know that you know
what that means,

1063
01:09:01,207 --> 01:09:04,661
and what that means
is one moment, one time.

1064
01:09:04,694 --> 01:09:09,316
One time is all it takes for the BFT
to smack you back to factory settings.

1065
01:09:10,149 --> 01:09:14,103
And then one moment,
the one moment is us standing right here

1066
01:09:14,136 --> 01:09:18,308
in the birthplace of the United States,
Philadelphia, PA.

1067

[crowd cheers]

1068
01:09:21,144 --> 01:09:23,546
And that one moment
which we can never relive again,

1069
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:27,084
it is here, so savor it while it is
because right now that means

1070
01:09:27,117 --> 01:09:32,389
we are standing in the birthplace
of the rebirth of my US title reign.

And you know if you think about it.

1073
01:09:38,312 --> 01:09:43,317
I've dealt with sneak attacks.
I've dealt with the mist.

1074
01:09:43,349 --> 01:09:48,037
I've dealt with it all, and I stood tall.
Uh-huh, yeah!

[crowd] Yeah!

1076
01:09:49,356 --> 01:09:51,108
But I'll put it to you like this.

1077
01:09:53,577 --> 01:09:58,532
Old Glory, it's kind of needed
a better representation as of late,

1078
01:09:58,565 --> 01:10:01,050
and that's exactly
what I'm going to give it because, Shin,

1079
01:10:01,084 --> 01:10:04,670
I hope the shadows were good to you
because I'm not gonna be.

1080

Out of the shadows and into the light.

1081
01:10:06,673 --> 01:10:11,195
Once again we can all pledge allegiance
to the United States Champion

1082
01:10:11,228 --> 01:10:13,045

what's gonna happen out there.

1089
01:10:29,746 --> 01:10:32,349

some good luck or not, actually,

or Michin, whoever has that title,

01:14:29,186 --> 01:14:34,090
Referee Dan Engler technically waiting
for both competitors to be in the ring.

1155
01:14:34,124 --> 01:14:36,425
-This could come imminently.
-[Tessitore] Oh!

1156
01:14:36,460 --> 01:14:41,447
[Tessitore] The crowbar. The crowbar
was brought out of the garbage can.

1157
01:14:42,299 --> 01:14:44,151
[Barrett] I actually feel
for Chelsea Green here.

1158
01:14:44,184 --> 01:14:46,486
[Tessitore] What else does she have?
Oh, I love it!

1159
01:14:46,519 --> 01:14:49,706
[Barrett] Good grief.
Negative bias from GM Nick Aldis,

1160
01:14:49,740 --> 01:14:55,862
against Chelsea Green, who's effectively
in an impromptu street fight

1161
01:14:55,896 --> 01:14:59,616
against the best of
the best in this match type.

1162
01:14:59,650 --> 01:15:02,251
-[Barrett] And finally…
-[Tessitore] Oh, Dan can ring that bell.

1163
01:15:02,286 --> 01:15:04,905
-[bell rings]
-[Tessitore] And we are underway.

1164
01:15:04,938 --> 01:15:07,858
Women's US Championship.

1165
01:15:07,891 --> 01:15:10,711
We got two chains in the ring as well

1166
01:15:10,744 --> 01:15:13,981
and the steel chair could
already be in play early on.

1167
01:15:14,014 --> 01:15:15,182
And it is!

1168
01:15:16,083 --> 01:15:17,084
Not the rapper, right?

1169
01:15:17,117 --> 01:15:18,852
-[Barrett] The rapper's in the ring?
-No, not the rapper.

1170
01:15:18,885 --> 01:15:20,304
[Tessitore] Just two separate chains…

1171
01:15:20,337 --> 01:15:22,371
-[Barrett] I'm with you now.
-…are in the ring.

1172
01:15:26,559 --> 01:15:28,728
[Tessitore] By the way,
speaking of musical performers.

1173
01:15:29,346 --> 01:15:33,383
How about what Travis Scott did
to Cody Rhodes last week?

1174
01:15:33,416 --> 01:15:35,952
[Barrett] Yeah, it was
the worst cheap shot of them all.

1175
01:15:36,904 --> 01:15:39,423
I'm sure it left Cody's
ears ringing for days.

1176
01:15:40,773 --> 01:15:43,293
[Tessitore] And Chelsea
not wasting any time.

1177
01:15:44,844 --> 01:15:47,347
But she ends up on those chains.

1178
01:15:47,380 --> 01:15:49,349
[Barrett] Ears ringing
in this kind of match

1179
01:15:49,383 --> 01:15:51,218
might be the least of these two's worries.

1180
01:15:51,785 --> 01:15:56,389
You see Secret Hervice on the outside
looking rather disheveled,

1181
01:15:56,423 --> 01:16:01,545
Piper Niven after her match earlier
and Chelsea Green begging for a time-out.

1182
01:16:01,577 --> 01:16:03,797
[Tessitore] Oh, is she biting
her fingers, Wade?

1183
01:16:03,830 --> 01:16:05,699
-[Barrett] Yes, she is.
-[Tessitore] Are you kidding me?

1184
01:16:05,732 --> 01:16:07,300
[Barrett] Well, guess what, Joe Tess,

1185
01:16:07,334 --> 01:16:10,853
it's all perfectly legal
in street fight rules.

1186
01:16:11,471 --> 01:16:14,808
[Tessitore] You can see
Michin taking advantage.

1187
01:16:18,644 --> 01:16:20,130
[Barrett] What on earth
are you looking for?

1188
01:16:20,163 --> 01:16:22,081
[Tessitore] Oh, this crowd's
gonna go nuts.

1189
01:16:22,115 --> 01:16:24,184
Philly's gonna go nuts!

1190
01:16:24,218 --> 01:16:27,638
Nothing they like more
here in the home of EC dub.

1191
01:16:29,089 --> 01:16:30,374
-[Barrett] Oh!
-[Tessitore] Oh, man!

1192
01:16:30,407 --> 01:16:34,777
[Tessitore] Right into the floor,
and Chelsea tucks the table away.

1193
01:16:34,811 --> 01:16:35,829
[crowd boos]

1194
01:16:35,862 --> 01:16:37,947
[Tessitore] To the cascade of boo's.

1195
01:16:37,981 --> 01:16:40,416
[coughs, laughs]

1196
01:16:42,969 --> 01:16:49,226
Moments ago, Michin was able to undo
a rope that was tied around her hands

1197
01:16:49,259 --> 01:16:52,529
for the better part of
the last four minutes

1198
01:16:52,563 --> 01:16:55,983
and now Michin looking
to get back at Chelsea Green.

1199
01:16:56,016 --> 01:17:00,971
Oh, fire extinguisher right into her face!
Right into her face!

1200
01:17:02,755 --> 01:17:08,262
A street fight here in Philly
to determine the US Women's Championship,

1201
01:17:08,295 --> 01:17:10,297
and it has been outrageous.

1202
01:17:10,330 --> 01:17:12,749
[Barrett] Oh, my God.
That was like a blast of air conditioning

1203
01:17:12,782 --> 01:17:13,934
and I wasn't even close to it.

1204
01:17:13,967 --> 01:17:18,272
Imagine that burning
the skin of Chelsea Green.

1205
01:17:18,304 --> 01:17:21,258
[Tessitore] When you're in
the home of EC dub,

1206
01:17:21,291 --> 01:17:23,977
when you're in South Philly, you deliver.

1207
01:17:24,010 --> 01:17:28,232
-Oh, Piper Niven comes in to disrupt it.
-[crowd boos]

1208
01:17:28,264 --> 01:17:32,186
She was going for the tables,
and now she's on top of ours.

1209
01:17:33,603 --> 01:17:35,923
[Barrett] It was Secret Hervice member
who got beat up

1210
01:17:35,956 --> 01:17:39,059
earlier this evening by Tiffany Stratton.

1211
01:17:39,092 --> 01:17:43,931
Finally gets her wind back
helping out the US champ

1212
01:17:43,964 --> 01:17:45,715
just when she most needed it.

1213
01:17:47,651 --> 01:17:52,572
[Tessitore] Street fight rules.
Consider that as Chelsea is going on up.

1214
01:17:52,606 --> 01:17:54,925
-Piper Niven's holding her place.
-[Barrett] Oh, my God.

1215
01:17:54,958 --> 01:17:57,760
-[Barrett] We're going Coast to Coast.
-[Tessitore] Whoa!

1216
01:17:57,794 --> 01:18:01,447
[Tessitore] Missile drop kick,
garbage can to head.

1217
01:18:01,481 --> 01:18:03,467
Into the cover…

1218
01:18:03,500 --> 01:18:05,635
and the kick out by Michin.

1219
01:18:05,669 --> 01:18:09,973
[Barrett] I did not have that
on my bingo card from Chelsea Green,

1220
01:18:10,007 --> 01:18:13,126
but that was superb, deserved a dollar--

1221
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:14,228
Wait a second.

1222
01:18:14,260 --> 01:18:16,029
[Tessitore] We're gonna even
this thing up.

1223
01:18:16,063 --> 01:18:18,732
We got an equalizer with B-Fab.

1224
01:18:18,764 --> 01:18:22,236
Man, oh, man, did you hear that?
Kendo stick attack.

1225
01:18:24,004 --> 01:18:27,157
As she chases off Piper Niven.

1226
01:18:27,191 --> 01:18:30,527
[Barrett] Well, say goodbye to
the Secret Hervice, ladies.

1227
01:18:30,561 --> 01:18:32,362
It's one-on-one.

1228
01:18:32,396 --> 01:18:35,315
And Chelsea Green
looks like she's seen a ghost.

1229
01:18:36,900 --> 01:18:41,103
But don't turn around, there's
something way worse lurking behind you.

1230
01:18:42,121 --> 01:18:45,291
-[Tessitore] Michin kendo in hand…
-[crowd] Oh!

1231
01:18:45,325 --> 01:18:49,730
…ripping away to the gut, two to the back.

1232
01:18:50,514 --> 01:18:53,133
And the drop kick sends her
into the corner.

1233
01:18:53,166 --> 01:18:56,219
[Barrett] How bad do you want
to be a hardcore legend, Chelsea Green?

1234
01:18:56,253 --> 01:18:57,905
It was all going so well.

1235
01:18:59,907 --> 01:19:03,277
[Tessitore] This is good stuff
here in Philly, tonight,

1236
01:19:03,309 --> 01:19:05,679
just the way they like it.

1237
01:19:05,712 --> 01:19:09,782
[Barrett] Chelsea Green got her nose
busted open on NXT this past week

1238
01:19:09,816 --> 01:19:14,353
and now with a long back attack,
garbage can in tow,

1239
01:19:14,388 --> 01:19:15,472
it might get even worse.

1240
01:19:15,505 --> 01:19:17,508
[Tessitore] And she delivers on it.

1241
01:19:20,260 --> 01:19:25,831
The first of our two US championship
matches, it could end right here…

1242
01:19:25,866 --> 01:19:29,036
and the kick out at two-and-change
from the champ.

1243
01:19:29,068 --> 01:19:32,973
[Barrett] Well, I'll tell you right now,
if gold was not on the line tonight,

1244
01:19:33,005 --> 01:19:39,413
Chelsea Green would have just taken the L
and got out of here while she still can.

1245
01:19:39,446 --> 01:19:42,182
[Tessitore] We have seen
a little bit of everything

1246
01:19:42,215 --> 01:19:45,052
and now here's the steel chairs.

1247
01:19:46,286 --> 01:19:51,892
We've had the ropes tying up
Michin's hands, the garbage can in play,

1248
01:19:51,925 --> 01:19:53,443
a fire extinguisher.

1249
01:19:54,210 --> 01:19:58,065
And the crowd has been chanting
"we want tables,"

1250
01:19:58,098 --> 01:20:00,200
and she wants to deliver.

1251
01:20:00,233 --> 01:20:03,003
[Barrett] You want it, Philly? You got it.

1252
01:20:08,825 --> 01:20:12,262
[Tessitore] And the EC dub chants
have started up.

1253
01:20:13,297 --> 01:20:18,785
[Barrett] Michin a woman trained
in part by the innovator of violence,

1254
01:20:19,369 --> 01:20:20,837
Tommy Dreamer.

1255
01:20:20,871 --> 01:20:23,190
He must be looking on proudly right now.

1256
01:20:23,223 --> 01:20:26,793
[Tessitore] Yeah, you know his podcast
is gonna be loving this.

1257
01:20:26,827 --> 01:20:28,295
Man, oh, man!

1258
01:20:28,327 --> 01:20:30,480
Chelsea from out of nowhere!

1259
01:20:34,918 --> 01:20:38,655
And now the inaugural Women's US Champion

1260
01:20:40,523 --> 01:20:43,594
willing herself to set up that table.

1261
01:20:43,626 --> 01:20:46,463
[Barrett] Well, Chelsea Green is
an entertainment goddess,

1262
01:20:46,496 --> 01:20:49,683
but don't ever question
the toughness of this woman.

1263
01:20:49,715 --> 01:20:52,501
How the hell is she still moving?
I have no--

1264
01:20:52,536 --> 01:20:54,771
[Tessitore] Oh, turns the tables.

1265
01:20:56,023 --> 01:20:58,759
Eat Defeat onto the table.

1266
01:21:00,427 --> 01:21:04,231
[Barrett] The legs collapsing,
perhaps that has saved Chelsea Green.

1267
01:21:05,148 --> 01:21:07,518
[Tessitore] I don't think
Michin really cares.

1268
01:21:07,550 --> 01:21:11,321
This is about damage.
This is about destruction.

1269
01:21:11,355 --> 01:21:14,558
This is a street fight, Philly style!

1270
01:21:16,742 --> 01:21:19,847
For the title, what in the world?

1271
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:21,632
What in the world just happened?

1272
01:21:21,665 --> 01:21:23,183
[Barrett] Who the hell is that?

1273
01:21:25,035 --> 01:21:28,272
[Tessitore] She was about
to win the US championship

1274
01:21:28,304 --> 01:21:30,706
and somebody pulled Chelsea Green out.

1275
01:21:31,959 --> 01:21:33,393
It's Alba Fyre!

1276
01:21:34,027 --> 01:21:36,330
[Barrett] What the hell
is Alba Fyre doing here?

1277
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:38,866
[Tessitore] And now
she's attacking Michin.

1278
01:21:38,898 --> 01:21:40,983
Oh, Canadian Destroyer!

1279
01:21:41,018 --> 01:21:44,103
[Barrett] Right on the chairs!
Michin is out cold!

1280
01:21:45,155 --> 01:21:47,340
Alba, what on earth are you doing?

1281
01:21:47,374 --> 01:21:51,562
[Tessitore] She is teeing up Chelsea Green
to win this street fight.

1282
01:21:51,594 --> 01:21:54,130
-Not like this. Are you kidding me?
-[bell rings]

1283
01:21:54,164 --> 01:21:55,749
["Hot Mess" playing]

1284
01:21:55,782 --> 01:21:57,867
[Garcia] Here is your winner,

1285
01:21:57,901 --> 01:22:03,156
and still the Women's
United States Champion,

1286
01:22:03,190 --> 01:22:05,509
Chelsea Green!

1287
01:22:05,541 --> 01:22:08,562
[Tessitore] And Alba Fyre just saluted her

1288
01:22:08,594 --> 01:22:11,481
as if it's a new Secret Hervice agent.

1289
01:22:11,514 --> 01:22:15,268
[Barrett] Well, the Secret Hervice
has apparently expanded.

1290
01:22:15,302 --> 01:22:21,275
The administration of Chelsea Green
has grown in numbers and power,

1291
01:22:21,308 --> 01:22:23,710
and they retain the US title!

1292
01:22:24,894 --> 01:22:27,331
No, no, no, no, no. That was a shame.

1293
01:22:28,148 --> 01:22:29,782
[speaking Spanish]

1294
01:22:30,617 --> 01:22:35,556
Once again you two fail to capture
an opportunity that was in your hands.

1295
01:22:35,589 --> 01:22:37,840
[speaks Spanish]
And all you had to do is win.

1296
01:22:39,977 --> 01:22:43,580
Things need to start changing
for Legado del Fantasma and soon.

1297
01:22:44,531 --> 01:22:48,885
And this time I don't expect it.
I demand it!

1298
01:22:49,803 --> 01:22:50,888
[exhales sharply]

1299
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:54,041
He has a point.

1300
01:23:01,315 --> 01:23:04,835
Why do you take that from Santos?

1301
01:23:05,853 --> 01:23:07,170
[speaking Spanish]

1302
01:23:07,204 --> 01:23:12,125
I know you, and you deserve better.

1303
01:23:19,683 --> 01:23:22,736
[Tessitore] Coming up next,
after the turn in Toronto,

1304
01:23:22,768 --> 01:23:26,273
we hear from Cody Rhodes, next.

1305
01:23:31,077 --> 01:23:32,144
[bell rings]

1306
01:23:35,282 --> 01:23:38,218
[announcer] Here is your winner!

1307
01:23:42,054 --> 01:23:44,575
[Cole] John Cena's going to WrestleMania!

1308
01:23:56,870 --> 01:24:01,375
And now it's you and me at WrestleMania
for the championship.

1309
01:24:07,313 --> 01:24:09,383
[The Rock] Cody Rhodes,
if you become my champion,

1310
01:24:09,416 --> 01:24:13,786
I can open up doors and possibilities
for you that you never knew existed.

1311
01:24:14,888 --> 01:24:18,509
Every dream you've ever had,
I can make come true.

1312
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:21,661
I just need you to be my champion.

1313
01:24:29,303 --> 01:24:35,576
My soul no longer belongs to me.

1314
01:24:40,112 --> 01:24:46,553
I gave my soul to this ring

six days removed from the brutal beatdown

1332

There's a somber silence hanging
over this audience in Philadelphia

01:28:06,837 --> 01:28:09,639
because they know six nights ago,

1337
01:28:10,307 --> 01:28:13,059

What…

1355
01:30:14,565 --> 01:30:16,083
What do we want to talk about?

1356
01:30:18,468 --> 01:30:24,458
It's an obvious question
with an obvious answer.

1357
01:30:24,491 --> 01:30:30,531
It's the most watched moment
in WWE history, in pro wrestling history,

1358
01:30:30,563 --> 01:30:35,652
and there I am laying on the bottom
tasting my own blood.

1359
01:30:36,402 --> 01:30:40,941
What do you say to a little one,
not even four years old

1360
01:30:40,974 --> 01:30:45,512
when she looks up at you and says,
"Papa, what happened to your face?"

1361
01:30:49,433 --> 01:30:54,103
It's not a conversation
that I was prepared to have.

1362
01:30:55,722 --> 01:31:01,260
So I told her what I can only classify
as a… a Cody lie.

1363
01:31:02,161 --> 01:31:04,264
I told her that I ran into a wall.

1364
01:31:06,733 --> 01:31:08,117
It's not entirely untrue.

1365
01:31:08,151 --> 01:31:14,724
I did run into a wall,
a wall designed by the Final Boss,

1366
01:31:14,758 --> 01:31:16,242
The Rock.

1367
01:31:16,276 --> 01:31:18,277
[crowd boos]

1368
01:31:21,965 --> 01:31:23,666

1369
01:31:24,601 --> 01:31:26,353
Travis Scott.

1370
01:31:26,385 --> 01:31:28,789
[crowd boos]

1371
01:31:36,013 --> 01:31:39,666
And by my WrestleMania 41 opponent

1372
01:31:41,218 --> 01:31:44,071
John Cena.

1373
01:31:44,103 --> 01:31:46,123
[crowd boos]

1374
01:31:53,614 --> 01:31:59,018
You know,
I drove John around for two years

1375
01:31:59,052 --> 01:32:01,889
from show to show, from city to city.

1376
01:32:01,922 --> 01:32:05,175
All I was trying to do was sponge off
every bit of knowledge

1377
01:32:05,209 --> 01:32:06,643
that I possibly could.

1378
01:32:06,677 --> 01:32:10,330
I felt about John
how many people here felt about John.

1379
01:32:10,364 --> 01:32:11,532
He…

1380
01:32:12,699 --> 01:32:14,201
He was a hero.

1381
01:32:19,339 --> 01:32:20,941
So one day I'll tell her…

1382
01:32:22,276 --> 01:32:24,777
I'll tell her what actually happened.

1383
01:32:24,811 --> 01:32:29,233
I'll tell her that a great man
who did great things,

1384
01:32:29,266 --> 01:32:31,317
who was my model in this sport,

1385
01:32:31,351 --> 01:32:34,588
who is the very definition
of the word virtuous.

1386
01:32:34,621 --> 01:32:38,375
A man who used to run to the ring
with a t-shirt emblazoned on it,

1387
01:32:38,407 --> 01:32:40,227
the slogan "Never Give Up."

1388
01:32:40,259 --> 01:32:43,496
I'll tell her he gave up!

1389
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:51,170
And I…

1390
01:32:56,276 --> 01:33:02,782
I apologize for any language
you might have heard.

1391
01:33:02,816 --> 01:33:06,786
I'm doing everything I can
to maintain my composure in this moment.

1392
01:33:06,820 --> 01:33:10,107
John, if you don't owe it to me,
I believe you owe it to them.

1393
01:33:10,139 --> 01:33:11,708
We'd all love to know.

1394
01:33:13,242 --> 01:33:14,277
Why?

1395
01:33:17,714 --> 01:33:19,049
Why?

1396
01:33:21,050 --> 01:33:24,655
And if I know my old friend John Cena,

1397
01:33:24,688 --> 01:33:28,224
well, I'm sure it will be a very smooth,

1398
01:33:28,258 --> 01:33:34,081
well educated, well-crafted retort,
a signature amount of phrases.

1399
01:33:34,114 --> 01:33:37,434
He'll probably say fine speech
at some point in there,

1400
01:33:37,467 --> 01:33:40,637
and when he's done talking,
he will feel bulletproof,

1401
01:33:40,670 --> 01:33:44,224
he will feel infallible,
he will feel justified.

1402
01:33:44,258 --> 01:33:48,779
There is no justification for you,
John Cena!

1403
01:33:49,279 --> 01:33:51,281
[crowd cheers]

1404
01:33:57,286 --> 01:34:03,861
I am well aware I am talking
to the whole world right now.

1405
01:34:06,263 --> 01:34:13,219
However, for those in this room tonight.

1406
01:34:20,826 --> 01:34:23,112
I don't know if you know this story.

1407
01:34:23,981 --> 01:34:27,401
You might have heard it from me
in an interview at some point in the past.

1408
01:34:28,384 --> 01:34:32,339
This was the one place that
my old man was afraid to perform in.

1409
01:34:33,523 --> 01:34:39,379
He even one time painted his face like the
Road Warrior so that he knew he was cool,

1410
01:34:39,413 --> 01:34:41,398
so that you knew you could cheer for him.

1411
01:34:41,431 --> 01:34:45,885
I never shared that same fear
because for reasons unknown,

1412
01:34:45,919 --> 01:34:48,155
one time, mustache on my face,

1413
01:34:48,188 --> 01:34:50,874
climbing a ladder for
the Money In The Bank briefcase,

1414
01:34:50,907 --> 01:34:55,027
for reasons unknown,
you cheered for me, you chose me,

1415
01:34:55,062 --> 01:34:57,347
you saddled up and you rode with me!

1416

[crowd cheers]

1417
01:35:02,335 --> 01:35:03,769
I never forgot it.

1418
01:35:03,804 --> 01:35:07,474
And then last year, WrestleMania 40,
just across the street,

1419
01:35:07,508 --> 01:35:11,178
trying to finish a story that started
in the late '70s,

1420
01:35:11,210 --> 01:35:14,097
you cheered for me, you chose me again!

1421
01:35:24,074 --> 01:35:26,242
[crowd chanting] Cody!

1422
01:35:36,085 --> 01:35:39,806
Speaking of WrestleMania 40.

1423
01:35:41,441 --> 01:35:45,429
You can watch it back
and you can turn the audio up.

1424
01:35:46,079 --> 01:35:51,084
My old friend John Cena in the ring
celebrating with my friends and my family.

1425
01:35:51,117 --> 01:35:56,874
He looked at me, he pointed at the title.
And I will never forget what he said.

1426
01:35:58,709 --> 01:36:01,795
He said it gets heavier every day.

1427
01:36:09,853 --> 01:36:11,088
Well…

1428
01:36:12,956 --> 01:36:17,643
John, here I am holding this championship.

1429
01:36:17,678 --> 01:36:20,147
It is not heavy enough.

1430
01:36:21,882 --> 01:36:24,284
Here I am holding this championship

1431
01:36:24,317 --> 01:36:28,522
as I have done for the last 300
and something days.

1432
01:36:28,554 --> 01:36:30,290
John, I know you're watching.

1433
01:36:30,324 --> 01:36:34,460
I know that you think
that your successor had to look like you,

1434
01:36:34,494 --> 01:36:38,215
had to talk like you,
had to be like you, had to live like you.

1435
01:36:38,248 --> 01:36:41,218
Well, the next one doesn't look like
the last one, John,

1436
01:36:41,250 --> 01:36:44,670
and you are convinced
that you are the last of your kind.

1437
01:36:44,705 --> 01:36:47,090
You are not. I am standing right here.

1438
01:36:47,124 --> 01:36:51,077
I am holding this above my head
as if it weighs nothing,

1439
01:36:51,111 --> 01:36:54,715
and at WrestleMania 41,
I will do the same.

1440
01:36:54,748 --> 01:36:57,985
John Cena, clearly you want some.

1441
01:36:58,018 --> 01:37:00,954
Come and get some!

Cody Rhodes resolutely standing up
to the most corrupt power,

01:37:15,201 --> 01:37:17,654
no matter the consequences.

1446

We are in the city where WrestleMania 40

1448
01:37:29,666 --> 01:37:33,370
saw Cody Rhodes take that championship.

1449
01:37:33,402 --> 01:37:38,724

SmackDown doesn't need some puff piece
from Michael Cole or Joe Tessitore.

SmackDown needs a hard-hitting interview
that redefines the main event

turn ahead to the premiere episode of

Well, hold on.
I didn't agree to that, Mike.

1462
01:38:17,464 --> 01:38:20,349
But you know what?
I would like to ask Cody one thing.

1463
01:38:20,384 --> 01:38:23,070
The Final Boss comes to you
with an offer of a lifetime,

1464
01:38:23,103 --> 01:38:25,272
an opportunity of a lifetime
to change your life,

1465
01:38:25,304 --> 01:38:27,441
and you fumbled the bag
at the one-yard line?

1466
01:38:27,474 --> 01:38:28,976
I mean, come on,
what are you thinking, man?

1467
01:38:29,009 --> 01:38:31,827
If the Final boss came to me,
I would have did exactly what Cena did.

1468

to get back in the ring,

1475
01:38:53,050 --> 01:38:55,402
so I've just had a great idea.

1476
01:38:55,434 --> 01:39:01,308

You go one-on-one with Carmelo Hayes.

He's using my own line on me.

1481
01:39:10,851 --> 01:39:12,469
[whispers] It's called a call-back.

1482
01:39:12,501 --> 01:39:14,788
-Main event things.
-Yeah.

1483
01:39:15,889 --> 01:39:18,157
[Tessitore] Randy and Melo
to start our European tour

1484
01:39:18,192 --> 01:39:20,093
next week in Barcelona, Spain.

1485
01:39:20,126 --> 01:39:24,248
[Barrett] Barcelona's getting bigger
and bigger, as is tonight.

1486
01:39:24,281 --> 01:39:27,233
'Cause heading our way
is a Scottish Warrior.

1487
01:39:27,267 --> 01:39:29,553
[Tessitore] Yeah,
one angry Scottish Warrior.

1488
01:39:29,585 --> 01:39:32,472
He started the night that way
and now he's ready for more.

[Garcia] The following contest
is scheduled for one-fall.

1492
01:39:39,463 --> 01:39:42,532
Making his way to the ring
from Ayr, Scotland.

Weighing in at 275 pounds.

1494

Drew McIntyre!

1495
01:39:52,375 --> 01:39:53,610
[Tessitore] Remember Drew said

1496
01:39:53,643 --> 01:39:55,946
he doesn't care if it's Priest,
he doesn't care if it's Jimmy Uso,

1497
01:39:55,978 --> 01:39:58,665
it's time to settle business.

1498
01:39:58,699 --> 01:40:02,134
Jimmy Uso, Drew McIntyre,
that match is next.

1499
01:40:12,713 --> 01:40:14,331
[Tessitore]
Coming off the Elimination Chamber.

1500
01:40:14,364 --> 01:40:15,933
He was the first to be eliminated.

1501
01:40:15,965 --> 01:40:19,436
He retaliated by hitting Damian Priest
with a Claymore,

1502
01:40:19,469 --> 01:40:22,356
and now in action here tonight in Philly.

On the heels of Cody Rhodes

["Born A King" playing]

1505
01:40:28,161 --> 01:40:29,862
But right now the focus for McIntyre

1506
01:40:29,897 --> 01:40:34,284
is the guy who has spent his last two
matches in against Drew McIntyre.

1507
01:40:36,904 --> 01:40:40,424
[Garcia] And his opponent
from San Francisco, California.

1508
01:40:40,456 --> 01:40:46,163
Weighing in at 251 pounds. Jimmy Uso!

-Oh, he doesn't waste any time, Wade.
-[bell rings]

1510
01:40:49,215 --> 01:40:50,601
Comes right in with a right uppercut.

1511
01:40:50,634 --> 01:40:51,652
[Barrett] Well, two weeks ago,

1512
01:40:51,684 --> 01:40:54,905
Jimmy Uso pulled out
a shock victory against McIntyre

1513
01:40:54,938 --> 01:41:01,411
with a victory roll and was demonized
post-match by the Scottish Warrior.

1514
01:41:01,445 --> 01:41:03,996
This is clearly
a little payback for Big Jim.

1515
01:41:11,288 --> 01:41:15,608
Oh, Big Jim tried to go suicide dive
but he ate a right hand.

1516
01:41:15,642 --> 01:41:18,812
[Barrett] You gotta know full well
dealing with this version of McIntyre,

1517
01:41:18,846 --> 01:41:20,781
you've gotta come out of the blocks hot.

1518
01:41:20,813 --> 01:41:26,837
Clearly things have changed in a big way
in the last week for Drew McIntyre,

1519
01:41:26,870 --> 01:41:32,308
who believed his pathway back to the main
event of WrestleMania was set with him

1520
01:41:32,342 --> 01:41:37,397
inevitably winning the Elimination Chamber
until that went horribly wrong.

1521
01:41:38,365 --> 01:41:40,867
[Tessitore] Oh,
and he just took that kick to the gut.

1522
01:41:41,367 --> 01:41:43,937
[Barrett] Well, we've seen
a very different side of Drew McIntyre

1523
01:41:43,971 --> 01:41:45,572
since he arrived here on SmackDown.

1524
01:41:45,606 --> 01:41:47,875
It was all sunshine and rainbows,

1525
01:41:47,907 --> 01:41:51,277
but now his worst demons
have come back to the fore.

1526
01:41:52,029 --> 01:41:57,384
And it's Big Jim who is currently
paying the price of those demons

1527
01:41:57,416 --> 01:41:59,102
as we saw earlier tonight.

1528
01:42:00,621 --> 01:42:03,740
Damian Priest also faced those demons.

1529
01:42:04,991 --> 01:42:07,361
[Tessitore] Got him up top.
Oh, he's looking our way.

1530
01:42:10,130 --> 01:42:15,786
Instead Uso slams McIntyre's head
into our announce table.

1531
01:42:16,469 --> 01:42:18,088
Oh, and a super kick.

1532
01:42:19,857 --> 01:42:23,626
As Jimmy Uso looking to rally
with a surge on the outside!

1533
01:42:24,294 --> 01:42:27,664
As both men are over the announce desk.

1534
01:42:27,697 --> 01:42:30,217
-[Barrett] It's about as ugly--
-[Tessitore] McIntyre and Big Jim.

1535
01:42:35,706 --> 01:42:39,559
[Tessitore] Back here in Philly
for Friday Night SmackDown,

1536
01:42:39,593 --> 01:42:42,179
a sellout at the Wells Fargo Center,

1537
01:42:42,212 --> 01:42:47,116
16,728 enjoying this action

1538
01:42:47,150 --> 01:42:50,152
between Jimmy Uso and Drew McIntyre,

1539
01:42:50,187 --> 01:42:52,623
and we mentioned back on February 21st,

1540
01:42:52,656 --> 01:42:55,008
Jimmy Uso pulled off a quick one
on Drew McIntyre,

1541
01:42:55,041 --> 01:42:59,913
picking up the win after
a great counter to an Alabama slam attempt

1542
01:42:59,947 --> 01:43:00,981
into a victory roll.

1543
01:43:02,599 --> 01:43:06,018
Kick out at two, able to get
that right shoulder up is McIntyre.

1544
01:43:06,053 --> 01:43:10,057
[Barrett] Well, Jimmy Uso's been living
dangerously in this one so far,

1545
01:43:10,090 --> 01:43:13,927
and perhaps with this version of McIntyre,
it's the only way you can live,

1546
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:16,746
but now he's turned things around,

1547
01:43:16,780 --> 01:43:20,933
got the wind in his sails and could end up
repeating his feat from two weeks ago.

1548
01:43:20,968 --> 01:43:24,638
[Tessitore] There's that
running hip-attack from Big Jim.

1549
01:43:25,188 --> 01:43:29,893
[Barrett] Oh, God, and imagine the place
that McIntyre's mind is gonna turn to

1550
01:43:29,927 --> 01:43:32,478
should he take another L this evening.

1551
01:43:33,347 --> 01:43:35,482
[Tessitore] Quick to rise
to his feet though, Wade.

1552
01:43:36,450 --> 01:43:39,369
[Barrett] McIntyre in desperation mode
at this point.

1553
01:43:40,187 --> 01:43:44,641
Looking to cause maximum carnage
and that recipient is about to be Big Jim.

1554
01:43:45,776 --> 01:43:49,429
[Tessitore] McIntyre in position
on the top rope.

1555
01:43:50,848 --> 01:43:55,067
[Barrett] McIntyre's gonna have
perennial bad blood with Jimmy Uso,

1556
01:43:55,102 --> 01:43:58,205
thanks to his antics
for years in The Bloodline.

1557
01:43:58,237 --> 01:43:59,473
[Tessitore] Super kick.

1558
01:44:00,090 --> 01:44:02,509
Here's the cover for the win.

1559
01:44:04,411 --> 01:44:07,364
And again that left shoulder
from McIntyre,

1560
01:44:07,397 --> 01:44:08,916
able to get up off the canvas.

1561
01:44:09,633 --> 01:44:11,668
[Barrett] Take another look at this.

1562
01:44:12,536 --> 01:44:15,489
Jimmy Uso connected
with one of his best shots,

1563
01:44:15,522 --> 01:44:19,893
that super kick flush
to the jaw of the Scotsman,

1564
01:44:19,927 --> 01:44:22,779
coming within a millisecond
of getting victory.

1565
01:44:23,397 --> 01:44:25,749
McIntyre lives on somehow.

1566
01:44:26,500 --> 01:44:30,554
And Jimmy Uso revisiting the playbook
and he's going big.

1567
01:44:30,587 --> 01:44:32,639
He's going up top, Joe.

1568
01:44:32,673 --> 01:44:35,008
[Tessitore] He's thinking splash,
isn't he?

1569
01:44:35,041 --> 01:44:37,344
He's thinking he's got a chance.

1570
01:44:37,376 --> 01:44:38,978
Uso up top.

1571
01:44:39,612 --> 01:44:43,784
But instead of the Uso Splash,
here's Drew.

1572
01:44:43,817 --> 01:44:45,869
-[Tessitore] Claymore!
-[Barrett] Oh!

1573
01:44:45,902 --> 01:44:48,237
[Tessitore] A giant Claymore delivered.

1574
01:44:50,307 --> 01:44:51,692
[bell rings]

1575
01:44:51,724 --> 01:44:52,860
["Gallantry" playing]

1576
01:44:52,893 --> 01:44:58,048
[Garcia] Here is your winner.
Drew McIntyre!

1577
01:44:58,081 --> 01:45:01,134
[Tessitore] And that's got to feel good
after just six days ago

1578
01:45:01,168 --> 01:45:05,822
when he was eliminated in
the Elimination Chamber by Damian Priest,

1579
01:45:05,856 --> 01:45:07,840
who rolled him up for the pinfall
to come back

1580
01:45:07,875 --> 01:45:10,193
and get such a decisive win like that.

1581
01:45:10,227 --> 01:45:12,362
[Barrett] Yeah, I agree with you, Joe,
it's gotta feel good,

1582
01:45:12,396 --> 01:45:15,949
but it quite simply
is not gonna be enough to fix

1583
01:45:15,982 --> 01:45:20,621
the major issues swirling
in the mind of Drew McIntyre.

1584
01:45:20,654 --> 01:45:24,458
As he connects with that Claymore.

1585
01:45:24,491 --> 01:45:26,326
There's only one result.

1586
01:45:27,376 --> 01:45:31,882
And as the WrestleMania 41 sign
hangs in the background,

1587
01:45:31,915 --> 01:45:35,085
it also hangs in
the mind of Drew McIntyre,

1588
01:45:35,117 --> 01:45:37,538
that is what you could have had

1589
01:45:38,804 --> 01:45:42,459
had you been victorious
in the Elimination Chamber.

1590
01:45:43,710 --> 01:45:50,000
And those good feelings have immediately
ebbed away from the face of McIntyre

1591
01:45:50,800 --> 01:45:53,971
and swirling back into the pit of misery.

1592
01:45:54,004 --> 01:45:55,505
-[Tessitore] Oh, no. Oh!
-[Barrett] Whoa.

1593
01:45:56,290 --> 01:45:59,209
[Tessitore] Damian Priest from behind.

1594
01:45:59,927 --> 01:46:01,260
When the night started,

1595
01:46:01,295 --> 01:46:06,099
it was Drew McIntyre who entered the
Wells Fargo Center and attacked Priest,

1596
01:46:06,133 --> 01:46:08,168
and now Priest gets back.

1597
01:46:08,201 --> 01:46:12,356
[Barrett] My God, you attack
The Street King, Damian Priest,

1598
01:46:12,389 --> 01:46:15,142
expect major consequences.

1599
01:46:15,174 --> 01:46:17,443
McIntyre, you asked for this.

1600
01:46:18,094 --> 01:46:20,013
Damian Priest the man who…

1601
01:46:20,047 --> 01:46:21,982
You should have killed me, you scumbag.

1602
01:46:22,014 --> 01:46:27,454
I'm gonna kill you every week
on sight, on sight, on sight!

1603
01:46:27,487 --> 01:46:28,789
Oh, you wanna do it?

1604
01:46:29,473 --> 01:46:30,757
[Tessitore] He's gonna break free,

1605
01:46:30,790 --> 01:46:33,660
he says, "Every week I'm coming
after you," and delivers the big kick.

1606
01:46:35,728 --> 01:46:39,299
A week ago it was McIntyre
who hit Priest with the Claymore

1607
01:46:39,333 --> 01:46:42,302
and that allowed Logan Paul
to come off the top rope

1608
01:46:42,335 --> 01:46:45,088
and eventually eliminate Priest
from the Chamber.

1609
01:46:45,121 --> 01:46:49,026
[Barrett] Yeah, these two have major
issues going back practically 12 months.

1610
01:46:49,058 --> 01:46:53,330
It was Priest who cashed in his Money
In The Bank briefcase on McIntyre.

1611
01:46:53,362 --> 01:46:54,865
This one is gonna run and run.

1612
01:46:54,898 --> 01:46:57,116
We've got major issues between these two.

1613
01:47:03,607 --> 01:47:06,643
[in Japanese] LA Knight, after tonight

1614
01:47:06,677 --> 01:47:09,897
you will have no other choice
but to accept reality.

1615
01:47:11,331 --> 01:47:17,437
And reality is that the United States
Championship has passed you by

1616
01:47:17,471 --> 01:47:21,241
and is firmly in my possession.

1617
01:47:22,075 --> 01:47:26,580
I knew that you stubbornly
would make one final attempt

1618
01:47:26,612 --> 01:47:30,584
at my championship.

1619
01:47:30,616 --> 01:47:32,969
[in English] There is no better location

1620
01:47:33,003 --> 01:47:35,688
for the death of your dreams

1621
01:47:35,722 --> 01:47:39,326
than the birthplace of the United States.

1622
01:47:40,994 --> 01:47:43,297
[in Japanese] After the battle is over,

1623
01:47:43,330 --> 01:47:46,666
I will continue to be the champion

1624
01:47:46,700 --> 01:47:48,735
you never could be.

1625
01:47:50,504 --> 01:47:54,508
[in English]
Tonight, you will beg for mercy,

1626
01:47:54,540 --> 01:47:58,712
and you will find none.

1627
01:48:06,053 --> 01:48:10,424
I'm standing by with the WWE tag team
champions, DIY.

1628
01:48:10,456 --> 01:48:13,826
Guys, with all the turmoil
going on in the tag team division,

1629
01:48:13,861 --> 01:48:18,065
you're set to defend your gold next week
against The Street Profits.

1630
01:48:18,098 --> 01:48:20,284
Would you say this is
your toughest challenge to date?

1631
01:48:20,317 --> 01:48:22,902
I'm not gonna lie,
the tag division's on fire right now.

1632
01:48:22,936 --> 01:48:24,571
There's a lot of great teams.

1633
01:48:24,605 --> 01:48:28,090
There's only one best tag team
in the world,

1634
01:48:28,125 --> 01:48:34,164
and everybody knows
the B-T-T-I-T-W is DIY.

1635
01:48:35,182 --> 01:48:40,670
All right, you heard it earlier,
all the tag teams, they want what we have,

1636
01:48:40,704 --> 01:48:44,590
and they can fight over who's 2A
and who's 2B all they want,

1637
01:48:44,625 --> 01:48:47,494
but the fact of the matter is
there's only one number one

1638
01:48:47,527 --> 01:48:49,079
and you are looking at them.

1639
01:48:49,112 --> 01:48:54,067
As for The Street Profits ever since they
came back, they got this new attitude.

1640
01:48:54,101 --> 01:48:56,786
They're big. They're bad.
They're dangerous.

1641
01:48:56,820 --> 01:48:58,487
They got revenge on their minds.

1642
01:48:58,522 --> 01:49:00,723
-They got a dream--
-And hope.

1643
01:49:00,757 --> 01:49:03,259
[scoffs] But hope is a dangerous thing

1644
01:49:03,293 --> 01:49:05,262
'cause they actually think
they have a chance,

1645
01:49:05,295 --> 01:49:07,063
but next week in Barcelona,

1646
01:49:07,097 --> 01:49:10,200
the cold reality is they're not getting
in the ring with great.

1647
01:49:10,233 --> 01:49:12,853
They're getting in the ring with the best.

1648
01:49:12,885 --> 01:49:13,887
So their dream

1649
01:49:14,804 --> 01:49:16,373
is already dead.

1650
01:49:17,023 --> 01:49:20,126
So out of respect, Byron, if you will.

1651
01:49:21,027 --> 01:49:26,266
We're gonna hold a little moment
of silence for The Street Profits

1652
01:49:26,299 --> 01:49:32,523
and their dream of becoming
the next WWE tag team champions.

1653
01:49:32,556 --> 01:49:34,907
And that moment of silence begins

1654
01:49:35,959 --> 01:49:37,494
-now.
-[crowd boos]

1655
01:49:38,812 --> 01:49:43,567
-Well, according to DIY they're--
-Be respectful, man, moment of silence.

1656
01:49:44,634 --> 01:49:46,370
[crowd boos]

1657
01:49:49,973 --> 01:49:51,924
[Tessitore] I-I can't with the moment of--

1658
01:49:51,959 --> 01:49:52,960
[Barrett] Be silent.

1659
01:49:52,992 --> 01:49:55,279
[Tessitore] No, you know
where it's not going to be silent

1660
01:49:55,312 --> 01:49:57,563
for the next three weeks?
Our European tour.

1661
01:49:57,598 --> 01:49:59,398
Barcelona is not going to be silent.

1662
01:50:00,817 --> 01:50:04,338
And this card is loaded for SmackDown
in Spain next week.

1663
01:50:04,371 --> 01:50:10,259
[Barrett] Yes, boy, because Pretty Deadly
became the number one contenders

1664
01:50:10,294 --> 01:50:12,763
for the tag titles earlier this evening.

1665
01:50:12,795 --> 01:50:15,199
The question is, who are they gonna face?

1666
01:50:15,232 --> 01:50:18,785
Will it be DIY
or will it be The Street Profits?

1667
01:50:18,818 --> 01:50:23,106
We find out next week
when they go head-to-head in Barcelona.

1668
01:50:23,139 --> 01:50:26,125
[Tessitore] Hey, earlier tonight,
B-Fab stepped to Charlotte Flair,

1669
01:50:26,159 --> 01:50:30,280
so now it is on next week,
just down the street from Sagrada Familia,

1670
01:50:30,313 --> 01:50:33,250
B-Fab taking on Charlotte Flair in Spain.

1671
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:39,121
[Barrett] And the cocky Carmelo Hayes
will talk smack to the best of 'em,

1672
01:50:39,156 --> 01:50:44,061
but triggering a vitriolic viper
may have been a major error.

1673
01:50:44,094 --> 01:50:50,032
Carmelo Hayes goes one-on-one
with Randy Orton next week on SmackDown.

1674
01:50:50,067 --> 01:50:53,370
[Tessitore] It was incredible to hear
from Cody Rhodes earlier tonight,

1675
01:50:53,402 --> 01:50:56,924
and The Miz feels like
Cody could get more off his chest.

1676
01:50:56,956 --> 01:51:03,362
So get ready for MizTV with the champ
all next week, SmackDown from Spain.

1677
01:51:06,833 --> 01:51:08,602
["Welcome to LA" playing]

1678
01:51:08,634 --> 01:51:09,670
[Barrett] Yeah!

1679
01:51:14,842 --> 01:51:19,179
[Tessitore] A week ago LA Knight
walked on hot coals to earn this.

1680
01:51:19,213 --> 01:51:23,333
Surviving a single-night tournament
to cement and prove himself

1681
01:51:23,366 --> 01:51:25,518
as the number one contender.

1682
01:51:25,552 --> 01:51:28,237
Got through a scribble
with Santos Escobar,

1683
01:51:28,272 --> 01:51:31,407
then the brilliance
in overcoming the triple threat.

1684
01:51:31,441 --> 01:51:38,264
Now Shinsuke Nakamura
defending against LA Knight.

1685
01:51:38,298 --> 01:51:39,383
[Barrett] Yeah!

1686
01:51:45,755 --> 01:51:49,092
Just an amazing night in Philadelphia
for Friday Night SmackDown.

1687
01:51:49,125 --> 01:51:51,010
We saw Tiffany Stratton
come up with a win,

1688
01:51:51,044 --> 01:51:53,764
but Charlotte Flair attacked her
with a Figure Eight leg lock.

1689
01:51:53,797 --> 01:51:59,719
Pretty Deadly is now number one contenders
for the WWE Tag Team Championship.

1690
01:52:00,571 --> 01:52:03,639
Braun Strowman, Solo Sikoa,
put on a show that ended though

1691
01:52:03,674 --> 01:52:06,576
with Jacob Fatu through two tables.

1692
01:52:06,610 --> 01:52:10,380
Incredible street fight
for the Women's US Championship.

1693
01:52:10,414 --> 01:52:14,902
Chelsea Green defending with circumstances
of Alba Fyre's return,

1694
01:52:14,934 --> 01:52:20,223
and moments ago Drew McIntyre victorious,
but Damian Priest attacked him afterwards.

1695
01:52:20,257 --> 01:52:21,775
And now our main event.

1696
01:52:26,513 --> 01:52:28,264
LA Knight held this championship,

1697
01:52:28,298 --> 01:52:31,684
the US Championship
for 118 days last year.

1698
01:52:33,019 --> 01:52:36,540
[Barrett] Until he lost it
to his opponent this evening.

1699
01:52:37,491 --> 01:52:38,709
Chance to win it back.

1700
01:52:39,209 --> 01:52:41,210
["Sinister Samurai" playing]

1701
01:53:00,130 --> 01:53:03,683
[Tessitore] The reigning
United States Champion.

1702
01:53:05,853 --> 01:53:09,005
And for the first time
since competing in the Royal Rumble,

1703
01:53:09,873 --> 01:53:12,558
it's Shinsuke Nakamura
in an official match.

1704
01:53:14,076 --> 01:53:18,598
[Barrett] Shinsuke Nakamura is always
conspicuous by his absence.

1705
01:53:19,549 --> 01:53:25,405
He's been a relatively rare sight
on SmackDown since winning the gold,

1706
01:53:25,438 --> 01:53:29,459
which according to him
is because of his sheer disdain

1707
01:53:29,492 --> 01:53:31,894
for the level of challengers available.

1708
01:53:31,929 --> 01:53:35,933
Shin views the US title
as the warrior's title,

1709
01:53:35,965 --> 01:53:40,420
and few in the SmackDown
locker room make the grade in his eyes.

1710
01:54:25,715 --> 01:54:29,268
[Tessitore] The second title defense
for Nakamura,

1711
01:54:29,303 --> 01:54:33,906
and of course
the other was also against LA Knight.

1712
01:54:35,709 --> 01:54:40,531
[Barrett] Sinister ceremonial entrance
for Shinsuke Nakamura,

1713
01:54:40,563 --> 01:54:44,233
but make no mistake,
this is gonna be a fight.

1714
01:54:47,004 --> 01:54:49,121
[Tessitore] For the official
introductions,

1715
01:54:49,156 --> 01:54:52,625
here's the one and only Lilian Garcia!

1716
01:54:54,678 --> 01:54:55,978
[bell rings]

1717
01:54:56,013 --> 01:54:59,132
The following contest is scheduled
for one-fall

1718
01:54:59,165 --> 01:55:05,054
and it is for
the United States Championship.

1719
01:55:05,088 --> 01:55:06,440
[crowd cheers]

1720
01:55:07,357 --> 01:55:12,713
Introducing first, the challenger
from Los Angeles, California,

1721
01:55:12,746 --> 01:55:15,566
weighing in at 240 pounds.

1722
01:55:15,598 --> 01:55:19,769
-LA Knight!
-[crowd] LA Knight! Yeah!

1723
01:55:21,321 --> 01:55:27,643
And his opponent from Kyoto, Japan,
weighing in at 220 pounds.

1724
01:55:27,678 --> 01:55:31,882
He is the United States Champion.

1725
01:55:31,915 --> 01:55:36,719
Shinsuke Nakamura!

1726
01:55:40,958 --> 01:55:45,144
[Tessitore] Incredible support
for LA Knight here in Philadelphia.

1727
01:55:45,179 --> 01:55:46,346
[Barrett] Once upon a time

1728
01:55:46,380 --> 01:55:48,965
Shinsuke Nakamura got that
same kind of support,

1729
01:55:48,999 --> 01:55:53,320
but this is a very different version
of Shinsuke Nakamura,

1730
01:55:53,353 --> 01:55:56,889
far more poison fueled and cutthroat.

1731
01:55:56,924 --> 01:56:00,027
But it's what led him
to this championship.

1732
01:56:00,059 --> 01:56:03,063
-Will it lead him to retaining tonight?
-[bell rings]

1733
01:56:03,096 --> 01:56:05,148
Veteran referee Charles Robinson.

1734
01:56:05,665 --> 01:56:08,735
Holding up that championship.
That is what is on the line.

1735
01:56:08,768 --> 01:56:11,772
Of course these two
so familiar with each other.

1736
01:56:12,806 --> 01:56:14,875
[Barrett] It was an arduous journey
for LA Knight

1737
01:56:14,907 --> 01:56:19,580
to get back to number one contendership,
especially with last week's heroics.

1738
01:56:19,612 --> 01:56:22,115
You question how much that took
out of The Megastar.

1739
01:56:22,148 --> 01:56:25,134
[Tessitore] In one single night
getting through Santos Escobar

1740
01:56:25,168 --> 01:56:27,971
and then Carmelo Hayes and Jacob Fatu.

1741
01:56:28,972 --> 01:56:32,709
[Barrett] Yeah, while
Shinsuke Nakamura rested at home,

1742
01:56:32,742 --> 01:56:37,097
knowing full well he will be primed
and ready to compete this week.

1743
01:56:37,865 --> 01:56:42,286
[Tessitore] Oh, that big kick.
Right to the gut from the champ.

1744
01:56:46,005 --> 01:56:49,726
Oh, and now that running knee
as he was draped over the apron.

1745
01:56:55,566 --> 01:56:57,284
Seeing all the offense.

1746
01:56:58,117 --> 01:57:00,103
Versatility of Nakamura.

1747
01:57:00,137 --> 01:57:01,905
[Barrett] Just unique striking ability.

1748
01:57:01,938 --> 01:57:04,508
It's impossible
to defend against attacks like that

1749
01:57:04,540 --> 01:57:08,445
because you've never faced them before
in training or in competition.

1750
01:57:08,478 --> 01:57:10,831
That is the brilliance of Nakamura.

1751
01:57:11,397 --> 01:57:13,482
And again, one step ahead of LA Knight,

1752
01:57:13,517 --> 01:57:16,068
and this is what I was alluding to, how…

1753
01:57:16,103 --> 01:57:19,522
-Oh.
-[Tessitore] That sliding German.

1754
01:57:19,556 --> 01:57:21,942
[Barrett] Just what kind of condition
is LA Knight in?

1755
01:57:21,974 --> 01:57:25,394
'Cause he seems from the off tonight,
a step behind the champ.

1756
01:57:26,313 --> 01:57:28,999
[Tessitore] Well, you brought up
everything he went through a week ago.

1757
01:57:29,031 --> 01:57:30,299
And now the big boot.

1758
01:57:32,286 --> 01:57:35,656
Back on January 10th,
the last time that these two tangled.

1759
01:57:37,089 --> 01:57:39,977
When Knight was the winner by DQ.

1760
01:57:40,009 --> 01:57:43,714
Not the result he was looking for
when Fatu and Tonga attacked him.

1761
01:57:43,746 --> 01:57:45,781
Oh, and there's the baseball slide

1762
01:57:45,816 --> 01:57:50,454
and things have turned in the way of
The Megastar looking to reclaim gold.

1763
01:57:54,508 --> 01:57:57,861
[Tessitore] Just a great scene here
on this road to WrestleMania

1764
01:57:57,894 --> 01:58:00,429
at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

1765
01:58:00,464 --> 01:58:03,217
Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett
with your ringside.

1766
01:58:03,250 --> 01:58:09,089
-16,728 sold out in Philly to see this…
-[crowd] Yeah!

1767
01:58:09,121 --> 01:58:15,077
…our main event, LA Knight trying to
get that United States Championship back

1768
01:58:15,112 --> 01:58:19,732
against Shinsuke Nakamura,
and right now he's got great momentum.

1769
01:58:19,766 --> 01:58:22,318
[Barrett] The perpetual motion machine.

1770
01:58:23,170 --> 01:58:26,473
[crowd] LA Knight! Yeah!

1771
01:58:27,741 --> 01:58:29,476
[Tessitore] Dropping the elbow.

1772
01:58:30,693 --> 01:58:32,946
Could he be champ again?

1773
01:58:32,980 --> 01:58:34,831
No, the kick out at two-and-change.

1774
01:58:35,598 --> 01:58:38,268
[Barrett] Well, LA Knight has taken
a hell of a lot of abuse

1775
01:58:38,302 --> 01:58:40,954
from the champ,
Shinsuke Nakamura in this one,

1776
01:58:40,987 --> 01:58:46,527
and just when hopes were fading,
LA Knight tapping into that Kavorka,

1777
01:58:46,559 --> 01:58:49,763
and people are starting
to believe once again.

1778
01:58:55,719 --> 01:59:02,075
[Tessitore] Knight perching him up
on the top rope,

1779
01:59:02,108 --> 01:59:04,277
and Shinsuke fights back.

1780
01:59:04,311 --> 01:59:05,946
That chop to the throat.

1781
01:59:09,266 --> 01:59:10,366
Oh, and Knight!

1782
01:59:11,101 --> 01:59:13,487
He was going for that box-jump Superplex,

1783
01:59:13,519 --> 01:59:16,356
but instead it's Nakamura
turning things around.

1784
01:59:16,389 --> 01:59:18,741
[Barrett] Nakamura just has
too many answers

1785
01:59:18,775 --> 01:59:21,894
for everything that LA Knight is trying.

1786
01:59:21,929 --> 01:59:25,749
Nakamura is simply
a master at the art of war.

1787
01:59:25,781 --> 01:59:27,416
Geez, that was disgusting.

1788
01:59:27,451 --> 01:59:31,054
Raking the eyes of The Megastar,
the referee couldn't see any of it.

1789
01:59:31,088 --> 01:59:32,522
It was a genius move.

1790
01:59:33,139 --> 01:59:34,808
What the hell's he gonna pull off here?

1791
01:59:34,842 --> 01:59:36,309
[Tessitore] Nakamura.

1792
01:59:37,544 --> 01:59:40,414
With Knight perched up high.

1793
01:59:40,447 --> 01:59:42,098
[Barrett] Oh!

1794
01:59:43,299 --> 01:59:46,652
That was a sickening landing
for The Megastar.

1795
01:59:46,687 --> 01:59:49,656
[Tessitore] And Charles Robinson quick
to check to the contender.

1796
01:59:49,690 --> 01:59:51,258
To retain.

1797
01:59:51,290 --> 01:59:54,962
[Barrett] Oh, potential neck-breaking
situation there for The Megastar.

1798
01:59:54,995 --> 01:59:59,415
Take another look at this.
You could see what Nakamura was trying.

1799
01:59:59,449 --> 02:00:02,318
He was trying to land LA Knight,
the challenger,

1800
02:00:02,352 --> 02:00:06,690
bang on the top of his head
and end this one in one move.

1801
02:00:06,723 --> 02:00:11,545
Well, LA Knight is clearly double tough,
bouncing up from that one,

1802
02:00:11,577 --> 02:00:16,517
refusing to cave in,
but now Nakamura's lining up something.

1803
02:00:16,549 --> 02:00:18,050
[Tessitore] Could be Kinshasa.

1804
02:00:18,885 --> 02:00:22,522
You heard LA Knight earlier tonight
say one moment, one time,

1805
02:00:22,556 --> 02:00:26,309
this will be my rebirth,
but right now it looks like, oh!

1806
02:00:26,977 --> 02:00:30,297
And what a time to come up
with the clothesline!

1807
02:00:30,864 --> 02:00:35,552
[Barrett] Well, LA Knight clearly
dug deeper than he's ever had to before.

1808
02:00:36,253 --> 02:00:42,326
Exploding at the champ just
when Nakamura was lining up that Kinshasa.

1809
02:00:44,193 --> 02:00:47,264
[Tessitore] Two top competitors
in the deep water now.

1810
02:00:47,297 --> 02:00:50,250
[Barrett] I don't know how LA Knight's
even got feeling in his fingertips

1811
02:00:50,284 --> 02:00:54,922
at this point after that Suplex off
the top rope.

1812
02:00:54,955 --> 02:00:57,991
[Tessitore] What a match it has been
for the US Championship.

1813
02:00:58,025 --> 02:01:00,594
[Barrett] Well, it's devolved now
into a complete scramble.

1814
02:01:00,626 --> 02:01:02,612
Both competitors hurting.

1815
02:01:02,646 --> 02:01:05,531
Oh, kick to the back
of the head of LA Knight.

1816
02:01:05,566 --> 02:01:09,503
And you can see how affected he is,
wobbling around the ring.

1817
02:01:09,536 --> 02:01:12,306
[Barrett] Well, Nakamura's just
an expert in traps,

1818
02:01:12,339 --> 02:01:14,156
he laid the trap there, pounced.

1819
02:01:16,276 --> 02:01:18,879
We're talking about bouncing,
take two for The Megastar.

1820
02:01:18,911 --> 02:01:21,298
[Tessitore] There's the box-jump Suplex.

1821
02:01:22,299 --> 02:01:23,817
LA Knight!

1822
02:01:27,137 --> 02:01:28,672
He's going up top.

1823
02:01:30,757 --> 02:01:34,010
-[crowd] LA Knight! Yeah!
-Targeting that leaping elbow.

1824
02:01:34,827 --> 02:01:36,429
And he lands it!

1825
02:01:37,281 --> 02:01:41,418
[Barrett] An absolute bull's eye
to the kisser of the champ

1826
02:01:41,451 --> 02:01:43,637
who's barely moved ever since.

1827
02:01:43,670 --> 02:01:48,357
[Tessitore] Nakamura's in real trouble.
LA Knight senses it.

1828
02:01:49,742 --> 02:01:51,777
[Barrett] Oh, attempt at a BFT!

1829
02:01:51,812 --> 02:01:57,034
Unsurprisingly,
Nakamura scurrying out of there.

1830
02:01:57,067 --> 02:02:00,670
[Tessitore] A lost opportunity
for a moment for LA Knight

1831
02:02:00,704 --> 02:02:04,040
as Nakamura is on the outside of the ring.

1832
02:02:04,074 --> 02:02:06,593
[Barrett] Well, LA Knight's so close
to tasting glory.

1833
02:02:06,626 --> 02:02:09,596
-[Barrett] Oh, God. Here we go.
-[Tessitore] Oh, steel chair is blocked.

1834
02:02:11,197 --> 02:02:14,902
[Tessitore] Oh, and Charles Robinson,
the veteran referee, warns him.

1835
02:02:14,934 --> 02:02:17,571
Of course LA Knight
doesn't want to DQ this time.

1836
02:02:17,603 --> 02:02:20,223
[Barrett] Oh, spinning back elbow there

1837
02:02:20,257 --> 02:02:23,277
just as the guard of
The Megastar was dropped.

1838
02:02:23,309 --> 02:02:26,864
Now, clearly Nakamura was trying
to get himself disqualified.

1839
02:02:27,830 --> 02:02:32,035
He was denied and once again that
steel chair brought back into the ring.

1840
02:02:32,068 --> 02:02:33,587
[Tessitore] That's how desperate he is,

1841
02:02:33,620 --> 02:02:36,557
steel chair is in the ring
in a title match.

1842
02:02:37,273 --> 02:02:39,910
Charles Robinson goes
and does the right thing to grab it.

1843
02:02:40,960 --> 02:02:43,697
The fans want to see a conclusion here.

1844
02:02:43,730 --> 02:02:47,601
[Barrett] Well, Robinson knew exactly--
Oh! Exactly what--

1845
02:02:47,634 --> 02:02:49,519
-[Tessitore] Oh, no, oh, no.
-[Barrett] Oh, no!

1846
02:02:49,553 --> 02:02:52,755
The mist right into the eyes
of Charles Robinson.

1847
02:02:52,789 --> 02:02:55,858
And that was a three-count there
but Charles Robinson,

1848
02:02:55,893 --> 02:02:57,960
who has had the week from hell,

1849
02:02:57,995 --> 02:03:00,931
he got dropped by KO
at the Elimination Chamber,

1850
02:03:00,964 --> 02:03:03,750
he's just been poison misted by Nakamura.

1851
02:03:03,784 --> 02:03:07,838
[Tessitore] There's no ref and LA Knight
would have won his title back!

1852
02:03:08,455 --> 02:03:12,759
The mist went into the eyes
of the veteran referee!

1853
02:03:12,793 --> 02:03:16,530
And now look at what Nakamura's
putting forth!

1854
02:03:16,563 --> 02:03:23,219
[Barrett] It was a Scorpio Rising, shade
to the former NXT UK Champ Meiko Satomura.

1855
02:03:25,556 --> 02:03:29,425
[Tessitore] He tried… He tried
to get the mist into the eyes of Knight.

1856
02:03:29,459 --> 02:03:34,514
Knight got out of the way and it landed
flush on the face of the referee,

1857
02:03:34,548 --> 02:03:38,518
and now the steel chair is in hand.

1858
02:03:38,552 --> 02:03:41,371
-[Barrett] Oh!
-[Tessitore] Oh, and he kicks it away!

1859
02:03:41,405 --> 02:03:43,389
[Barrett] Boots it into
the face of Nakamura.

1860
02:03:43,423 --> 02:03:46,559
-BFT!
-Oh, the BFT onto the steel chair!

1861
02:03:46,593 --> 02:03:49,029
-[Tessitore] Onto the steel chair!
-[Barrett] Get up, Charles!

1862
02:03:49,062 --> 02:03:50,763
[Tessitore] He has to have a ref!

1863
02:03:52,148 --> 02:03:54,701
Here he comes for the win.

1864
02:03:55,885 --> 02:03:57,437
-He did it!
-[bell rings]

1865
02:03:57,471 --> 02:04:01,174
-A Megastar feeling in Philly.
-["Welcome To LA" playing]

1866
02:04:01,208 --> 02:04:02,742
[Garcia] Here is your winner

1867
02:04:02,776 --> 02:04:07,731
and the new United States Champion,

1868
02:04:07,763 --> 02:04:11,084
-LA Knight!
-[crowd] Yeah!

1869
02:04:11,117 --> 02:04:15,672
[Tessitore] And if you like the way
that went down, Wade Barrett, just say…

1870
02:04:15,705 --> 02:04:17,773
[Barrett] Yeah!

1871
02:04:23,697 --> 02:04:28,117
[Tessitore] Next week we're in Barcelona,
tag team championship on the line.

1872
02:04:28,151 --> 02:04:31,471
LA Knight's got it back, folks.

1873
02:04:31,505 --> 02:04:34,391
[crowd] LA Knight! Yeah!
folks.
