5
00:00:35,669 --> 00:00:40,107
[Tessitore] This is the start
of what will be an epic WWE weekend.

6
00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:42,376
We've arrived in Southern California.

7
00:00:42,409 --> 00:00:46,263
That's the spectacular
Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

8
00:00:46,296 --> 00:00:51,318
Tomorrow, it will host Money in the Bank,
a card filled with all-time legends

9
00:00:51,351 --> 00:00:53,720
and rising superstars.

10
00:00:53,754 --> 00:00:58,358
As for now, we're just a couple hours
north in Bakersfield,

11
00:00:58,391 --> 00:01:03,247
where so much is to be determined and
revealed here on Friday Night SmackDown.

12
00:01:03,279 --> 00:01:08,902
The Dignity Health Arena
is packed with a PLE weekend upon us.

13
00:01:08,936 --> 00:01:15,342
There's major overlap from both rosters,
and these fans are psyched for it.

14
00:01:15,943 --> 00:01:19,613
The American Nightmare
is here in Bakersfield.

15
00:01:20,297 --> 00:01:24,368
Cody Rhodes,
he recently returned to confront John Cena

16
00:01:24,401 --> 00:01:26,786
and to even the odds for Jey Uso.

17
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:30,390
Rhodes and Jey will have their final words
tonight with the Undisputed Champion

18
00:01:30,423 --> 00:01:34,044
and Logan Paul
the night before the showdown.

19
00:01:34,761 --> 00:01:37,446
Plus, Mami's always on top.

20
00:01:37,481 --> 00:01:41,735
Rhea Ripley is leading the way for an
impress attendant display of talent.

21
00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:45,222
She's just one of the women's Money
in the Bank competitors here tonight.

22
00:01:45,255 --> 00:01:50,059
Also arriving in Bakersfield
is Alexa Bliss.

23
00:01:50,092 --> 00:01:53,997
Can she find the briefcase
within her grasp again?

24
00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:58,134
And the rising can't-miss superstar.

25
00:01:58,652 --> 00:02:02,372
Stephanie Vaquer making her way
to the SmackDown locker room.

26
00:02:02,405 --> 00:02:07,610
She's wowed us every step of the way
so far, but they are not alone.

27
00:02:07,643 --> 00:02:11,765
Every participant in tomorrow's ladder
match has decided to come to SmackDown,

28

so proceed with caution.

29
00:02:14,483 --> 00:02:17,738
Naomi's in town, and she's gonna team up

30
00:02:17,771 --> 00:02:20,791
with the newest member
of the women's locker room.

31
00:02:20,823 --> 00:02:25,646
The undeniably talented
and dangerous Giulia has arrived.

32
00:02:26,296 --> 00:02:29,149
And rounding out
a six-woman tag team match,

33
00:02:29,183 --> 00:02:32,786
the Prodigy, Roxanne Perez.

34
00:02:32,819 --> 00:02:38,141

they battle it out in Los Angeles.

00:14:01,058 --> 00:14:02,175
It ain't gonna work.

175
00:14:02,209 --> 00:14:05,045
Uh, look, I'm just saying
he's the Samoan Werewolf.

176
00:14:05,078 --> 00:14:08,147
I was thinking we could come up
with a new nickname for him,

177
00:14:08,182 --> 00:14:10,934
like maybe, uh, Solo's Bitch.

178
00:14:10,968 --> 00:14:12,468
-[crowd exclaiming]
-[Tessitore] Oh.

179
00:14:18,141 --> 00:14:19,141
[Rollins chuckles]

180
00:14:19,693 --> 00:14:21,512
No, no, no, no, no, no.

181
00:14:21,545 --> 00:14:23,096
[chuckling] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

182
00:14:23,130 --> 00:14:26,033
In all seriousness, Solo,
took a lot of courage,

183
00:14:26,065 --> 00:14:30,404
a lot of guts for you to walk out here
and talk to me the way you are.

184
00:14:30,437 --> 00:14:33,656
I gotta be honest with you,
you're threatened by us.

185
00:14:34,308 --> 00:14:39,630
I'm threatened just a little bit
by one Fatu in this ring,

186
00:14:39,663 --> 00:14:41,014
but it ain't you.

187
00:14:41,531 --> 00:14:43,400
[crowd exclaiming]

188
00:14:48,421 --> 00:14:50,924
[crowd chants] Fatu! Fatu! Fatu! Fatu!

189
00:14:54,844 --> 00:14:56,246
[Tessitore] Oh, they're done with words.

190
00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:58,649
Breakker stepping in.

191
00:14:59,199 --> 00:15:01,151
[crowd barking]

192
00:15:05,038 --> 00:15:07,524
-[crowd cheers]
-[Barrett, Tessitore chuckling] Oh!

193
00:15:24,024 --> 00:15:26,108
[crowd boos]

194
00:15:32,766 --> 00:15:34,483
[speaking indistinctly]

195
00:15:34,517 --> 00:15:35,769
Let's go.

196
00:15:36,819 --> 00:15:38,539
[crowd boos]

197
00:15:39,223 --> 00:15:43,242
[Tessitore] Seth calling him off,
but Breakker a little hesitant

198
00:15:44,810 --> 00:15:47,647
to break that face-off with Fatu.

199
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,218
[Barrett] Bron Breakker
lacks the ability to flinch,

200
00:15:51,251 --> 00:15:54,137
but perhaps smartly ahead
of Money in the Bank,

201
00:15:54,170 --> 00:15:58,959
Seth Rollins taking himself
and his men out of danger.

202
00:15:58,992 --> 00:16:00,010
["The Vision" playing]

203
00:16:00,043 --> 00:16:03,197
[Tessitore] Tensions were rising
about as high as they could go

204
00:16:04,031 --> 00:16:06,466
without coming to blows.

205
00:16:06,500 --> 00:16:08,352
The sight of those two together…

206
00:16:10,721 --> 00:16:13,323
Oh, Jimmy Uso!

207
00:16:13,857 --> 00:16:15,508
He is clearing house!

208
00:16:15,541 --> 00:16:17,361
[Barrett]
Well, waiting for that distraction,

209
00:16:17,394 --> 00:16:20,747
Jimmy Uso, who has had major problems

210
00:16:20,781 --> 00:16:23,883
with Solo Sikoa's crew of late,

211
00:16:23,916 --> 00:16:26,603
striking at exactly the right moment.

212
00:16:27,154 --> 00:16:32,693
[Tessitore] Big Brother Jimmy Uso is here.
What a way to start the weekend.

213
00:16:32,726 --> 00:16:36,847
And we got Jimmy Uso
against JC Mateo next.

214
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,549
[clamoring]

215
00:16:43,203 --> 00:16:45,405
[Tessitore] We are underway
here in Bakersfield,

216
00:16:45,439 --> 00:16:47,257
the sold-out Dignity Health Arena

217
00:16:47,290 --> 00:16:52,295
as we start the evening with Jimmy Uso
facing off with JC Mateo,

218
00:16:52,329 --> 00:16:56,400
the former Olympian, the new powerhouse
to the SmackDown roster.

219
00:16:58,935 --> 00:17:02,639
[Barrett] Well, Jimmy Uso last week
prevented Mateo and crew

220
00:17:03,957 --> 00:17:07,444
launching a beatdown after Mateo's victory

221
00:17:08,361 --> 00:17:12,799
after many weeks of issues
between Jimmy Uso and Solo's crew.

222
00:17:13,767 --> 00:17:16,552
[Tessitore] You go back a few weeks ago
to the Money in the Bank qualifier

223
00:17:16,587 --> 00:17:20,507
when Solo Sikoa was able to get past
Jimmy Uso and Rey Fénix,

224
00:17:20,540 --> 00:17:25,846
and Jacob Fatu and JC Mateo made
their presence felt ringside during that.

225
00:17:25,878 --> 00:17:30,517
And then two weeks ago, a tag team…
Crossbody from up top from Big Jim.

226
00:17:30,551 --> 00:17:33,153
Into the cover
and the quick kick out by Mateo,

227
00:17:33,187 --> 00:17:35,989
but a couple weeks ago,
Mateo and Fatu combined

228
00:17:36,023 --> 00:17:39,326
for the tag team victory
over Uso and Fénix.

229
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,931
And it was Solo Sikoa who played
a distractive role ringside then.

230
00:17:44,781 --> 00:17:47,017
[Barrett] Well, talking about
Money in the Bank qualifiers,

231
00:17:47,050 --> 00:17:51,905
how about Solo and JC
inadvertently costing Jacob Fatu

232
00:17:51,938 --> 00:17:55,676
a spot in the Money in the Bank
Ladder Match last week.

233
00:17:56,176 --> 00:17:59,546
Major tensions between that trio,
although they appear,

234
00:17:59,580 --> 00:18:01,331
for now at least,
to have been smoothed over.

235
00:18:01,365 --> 00:18:03,350
[Tessitore] Tomorrow's the day,
Money in the Bank

236
00:18:03,383 --> 00:18:05,101
from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

237
00:18:13,025 --> 00:18:16,914
Look at that man! Look at that man!

238
00:18:16,947 --> 00:18:19,383
Look at that man! Look at that man!

239
00:18:20,450 --> 00:18:22,936
You can still come back, okay?
It ain't too late, Jimmy.

240
00:18:22,970 --> 00:18:25,121
-[Tessitore] And you hear Solo.
-All you gotta do is come back.

241
00:18:25,155 --> 00:18:27,524
You want to get your ass kicked,
get your ass kicked.

242
00:18:27,558 --> 00:18:29,543
[Tessitore] Once again saying,
"You can still come back,"

243
00:18:29,576 --> 00:18:31,544
as Jimmy's been
constantly rejecting, Wade,

244
00:18:31,578 --> 00:18:33,080
the recruitment by his little brother.

245
00:18:33,113 --> 00:18:36,716
[Barrett] Well, I'll tell you right now,
inarguably, Jimmy Uso to me

246
00:18:36,750 --> 00:18:38,452
has been floundering of late.

247
00:18:38,485 --> 00:18:41,104
He's been lacking career direction.

248
00:18:41,138 --> 00:18:46,560
It may be distasteful to him to re-link up
with little brother Solo Sikoa.

249
00:18:46,592 --> 00:18:48,896
However, it must be a tempting offer.

250
00:18:48,928 --> 00:18:53,250
Your opportunity to get back to the
very top of the card with this group.

251
00:18:54,033 --> 00:18:58,120
Solo is handing olive branch
after olive branch, and as yet,

252
00:18:58,155 --> 00:18:59,505
falling on deaf ears.

253
00:18:59,540 --> 00:19:02,376
[Tessitore] And you and I got to
spend some time with Jimmy earlier today,

254
00:19:02,408 --> 00:19:06,847
and I'm sure you feel the way I do that
he's not bashful about expressing that

255
00:19:06,879 --> 00:19:10,117
and understanding the realities
of where he is in his career are.

256
00:19:10,149 --> 00:19:12,469
[Barrett] He knows full well.
Look, this is a guy, Jimmy Uso,

257
00:19:12,502 --> 00:19:15,606
who is one half of
the greatest tag team of all time.

258
00:19:15,639 --> 00:19:18,225
A WrestleMania main eventer,

259
00:19:18,258 --> 00:19:21,662
and lately he's been just grabbing
random opportunities,

260
00:19:21,695 --> 00:19:23,496
tagging up with random people,

261
00:19:23,530 --> 00:19:26,984
whoever it is to try and get
a little traction in his career,

262
00:19:27,017 --> 00:19:30,137
and very little to me
has been working at the level

263
00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:32,822
most of us expect from Jimmy Uso.

264
00:19:32,856 --> 00:19:36,677
[Tessitore] And meanwhile in there
against this powerful, strong,

265
00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:40,379
compact, explosive JC Mateo.

266
00:19:42,633 --> 00:19:45,852
[Barrett] And it's just been too
easy so far for JC Mateo

267
00:19:45,886 --> 00:19:48,071
who, yes, is big, strong and powerful,

268
00:19:48,105 --> 00:19:52,943
but really it's the distractions
on the outside that have given JC Mateo

269
00:19:52,976 --> 00:19:58,432
repeated opportunities to dominate this,
but of course Jimmy now

270
00:19:59,015 --> 00:20:00,716
attempting to turn things around.

271
00:20:00,751 --> 00:20:03,003
[Tessitore] Yeah, smart to get out
of the way, lands the uppercut,

272
00:20:03,036 --> 00:20:04,571
and now he's got him lined up.

273
00:20:04,605 --> 00:20:06,240
Big Jim!

274
00:20:09,126 --> 00:20:10,761
[Barrett] Big Jim going for broke.

275
00:20:10,793 --> 00:20:13,397
It's highly effective,
but you're gonna be concerned

276
00:20:13,429 --> 00:20:18,452
about the proximity
to Fatu and Solo Sikoa.

277
00:20:18,485 --> 00:20:19,520
[Solo] What are you doing?

278
00:20:20,187 --> 00:20:22,706
Come back, we're brothers, man. Hey!

279
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,341
Me and you!

280
00:20:25,042 --> 00:20:26,176
We the ones!

281
00:20:26,894 --> 00:20:30,981
[Tessitore] Cajoling on one side and that
dangerous stare of Fatu on the other.

282
00:20:31,014 --> 00:20:34,784
[Barrett] Fatu's just a constant threat.
I don't care what Solo Sikoa says.

283
00:20:34,818 --> 00:20:38,621
Jacob Fatu is not
a controllable human being.

284
00:20:40,607 --> 00:20:43,961
[Tessitore] Look at that. For a man
with the body type and size of Mateo

285
00:20:43,994 --> 00:20:45,928
to get up and land that dropkick.

286
00:20:52,252 --> 00:20:56,657
[Tessitore] Jimmy Uso
looking to rally here against JC Mateo

287
00:20:56,690 --> 00:20:58,192
the night before Money in the Bank,

288
00:20:58,225 --> 00:21:01,261
the Money in the Bank competition
that Jimmy was hoping to be in,

289
00:21:01,294 --> 00:21:07,167
but it was JC Mateo and Jacob Fatu
who helped Solo Sikoa earn that spot.

290
00:21:07,201 --> 00:21:12,940
The athleticism of JC Mateo.
For his size, you just marvel, Wade.

291
00:21:12,973 --> 00:21:15,876
[Barrett] Yeah,
shows you the power, the explosivity

292
00:21:15,908 --> 00:21:18,595
that JC Mateo holds in those boots.

293
00:21:18,629 --> 00:21:23,667
A guy this big, a guy this wide,
should never be allowed

294
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:25,385
to pull off a move like that.

295
00:21:25,418 --> 00:21:28,539
That was Simone Biles-esque
and devastating.

296
00:21:29,188 --> 00:21:32,842
Are you done? JC, kick his ass.
He's not done yet.

297
00:21:32,876 --> 00:21:34,995
[Tessitore] Time and time again
throughout this match,

298
00:21:35,028 --> 00:21:38,381
throughout recent weeks,
Solo Sikoa has made the offer.

299
00:21:38,415 --> 00:21:40,399
"Jim, you can come back.
Do you want to come back?

300
00:21:40,434 --> 00:21:41,784
Do you want to join up?"

301
00:21:41,818 --> 00:21:44,437
Time and time again,
the offer's been rejected,

302
00:21:44,471 --> 00:21:46,340
and thus, the punishment continues.

303
00:21:46,373 --> 00:21:50,610
[Barrett] This does not appear to be
about beating Jimmy Uso tonight.

304
00:21:50,644 --> 00:21:57,568
It appears to be about torturing Jimmy Uso
to convince him to re-enter Solo's group.

305
00:22:00,571 --> 00:22:02,255
[Tessitore] Oh, Big Jim! Samoan Drop!

306
00:22:02,289 --> 00:22:07,694
[Barrett] Wow, that is a lot of power
still left inside Big Jim Uso.

307
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,803
[crowd clapping]

308
00:22:17,838 --> 00:22:19,806
[Tessitore] Was that enough
to create the opening?

309
00:22:21,091 --> 00:22:25,345
[Barrett] Create some distance.
That's the first part of it for Big Jim.

310
00:22:25,379 --> 00:22:29,883
Now tapping into this energy
from this loyal band of supporters

311
00:22:29,917 --> 00:22:32,101
here in Bakersfield, California.

312
00:22:32,135 --> 00:22:33,419
[Tessitore] Right uppercut.

313
00:22:34,638 --> 00:22:36,223
Trying to come back is Mateo.

314
00:22:36,723 --> 00:22:40,260
Uso trying to get him up again for that
Samoan Drop, but instead gets caught.

315
00:22:40,293 --> 00:22:42,896
[Barrett] Little too big is JC Mateo.

316
00:22:44,848 --> 00:22:48,585
Still on his feet.
That is astounding from the big man.

317
00:22:48,619 --> 00:22:51,321
[Tessitore] It really is. Reminds us
of somebody ringside, doesn't it?

318
00:22:51,355 --> 00:22:52,472
Big chop from Uso.

319
00:22:52,505 --> 00:22:56,894
[Barrett] Just absorbing punishment
and staying in the fight.

320
00:22:59,562 --> 00:23:02,448
[Tessitore] And this time Mateo comes in
and eats a big elbow.

321
00:23:03,283 --> 00:23:04,851
[crowd cheers]

322
00:23:06,186 --> 00:23:07,737
[Tessitore] Jimmy gets the best of it!

323
00:23:09,873 --> 00:23:11,591
And the kick out at two.

324
00:23:11,625 --> 00:23:16,013
[Barrett] Yeah, this deep into a matchup,
this beat up, this exhausted,

325
00:23:16,046 --> 00:23:20,817
pulling out that Uso in the Wind
and connecting with JC Mateo.

326
00:23:20,851 --> 00:23:25,455
Just goes to show you,
you cannot write Big Jim Uso off.

327
00:23:26,639 --> 00:23:30,194
[Tessitore] Great scene here,
a sold-out Dignity Health Arena.

328
00:23:30,226 --> 00:23:33,914
The start of what should be an epic
weekend here in Southern California.

329
00:23:33,947 --> 00:23:36,966
Worlds Collide,
Money in the Bank tomorrow in LA.

330
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,668
Mateo just catches him.

331
00:23:40,553 --> 00:23:42,371
Jimmy trying to break free.

332
00:23:42,956 --> 00:23:45,926
It has been a tough battle for him
from the start.

333
00:23:50,464 --> 00:23:53,466
[Barrett] Capable of generating
so much torque, so much momentum.

334
00:23:53,500 --> 00:23:55,252
[Tessitore] Looking to finish it here.

335
00:23:55,284 --> 00:23:59,139
Barely, and I mean barely
getting that right shoulder up.

336
00:23:59,173 --> 00:24:03,476
We're all right. We're okay. You hear me?
We're all right. We're good. We're good.

know if it's Jimmy Uso or JC Mateo.

right under the chin and another.

[Barrett] Got a lot of distance
he needs to cover, though.

We all know what he's going for.

345
00:24:33,173 --> 00:24:34,825
So does Solo Sikoa.

346
00:24:34,858 --> 00:24:37,961
[Tessitore] Of course he does,
and that's exactly why he's on the apron,

347
00:24:37,995 --> 00:24:39,830
and so is Fatu.

348
00:24:42,683 --> 00:24:44,985
As he's squared up with Jacob now.

349
00:24:47,486 --> 00:24:48,554

planned between JC and Jacob, did it?

[Barrett] Well, quick thinking
Jimmy Uso pulls out the win,

00:25:13,330 --> 00:25:17,918
but that collision
between Mateo and Jacob Fatu--

between the two big men.

00:25:26,076 --> 00:25:30,697
[Barrett] And once again, Solo Sikoa
needs to pull out some major diplomacy

You had Piper Niven coming out
in highly unprofessional sunglasses,

Now, on the apron,
winds her up and stomps right on her back.

462
00:31:42,785 --> 00:31:47,341
[Barrett] It's been the story of the last
six or seven weeks here on SmackDown

Piper able to get the best of her.

468
00:32:02,238 --> 00:32:05,609
Up on her shoulders
and then slams her head down

on the hard edge of the apron.

470
00:32:07,461 --> 00:32:10,464
[Barrett] Well, that could break a jaw,
that could scramble the brains,

471
00:32:10,496 --> 00:32:15,284
and it can certainly break a nose,
and it's all fair game.

00:32:29,149 --> 00:32:31,150
[Tessitore] A great familiarity
between these rivals.

477
00:32:31,185 --> 00:32:36,039
Zelina Vega and Piper Niven, but different
circumstances with the match style.

478
00:32:36,072 --> 00:32:38,292
This is a Bakersfield Brawl.

479
00:32:38,324 --> 00:32:39,877
This is Street Fight rules,

480
00:32:39,909 --> 00:32:44,932
and Piper Niven has the chain
wrapped around her right fist,

481
00:32:44,965 --> 00:32:47,751
and she's looking
to choke Zelina Vega with it

482
00:32:47,783 --> 00:32:49,602
who's trying to hold on, Wade.

483
00:32:49,636 --> 00:32:51,120
[Barrett] And this is my favorite moment.

484
00:32:51,154 --> 00:32:54,073
You've got a referee in there
who wants to jump in,

485
00:32:54,107 --> 00:32:55,842
but there's nothing he can do.

486
00:32:55,876 --> 00:32:57,543
It's all legal,

487
00:32:58,044 --> 00:33:02,381
and Zelina Vega is
gonna have a scar for a smile after this.

488
00:33:03,583 --> 00:33:05,668
Look like the Joker from The Dark Knight.

489
00:33:06,285 --> 00:33:09,156
[Tessitore] Look at the pressure
that is being applied by Piper Niven.

490
00:33:09,188 --> 00:33:12,208
[Barrett] And look at the pain
in the eyes of Zelina Vega. Ooh!

491
00:33:12,242 --> 00:33:14,995
[Tessitore] Oh,
and then knees her right in the back

492
00:33:15,028 --> 00:33:17,865
and smashes her head on that turnbuckle.

493
00:33:17,898 --> 00:33:20,701
[Barrett] May have lost a couple of teeth
in the process there.

494
00:33:23,937 --> 00:33:25,505
Take another look at this.

495
00:33:25,539 --> 00:33:30,726
Face first,
avec the chain into that turnbuckle

496
00:33:30,761 --> 00:33:36,567
and Zelina Vega incredibly concerned
about her dental work right now.

497
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,686
Well, there's no respite, Zelina.
You earned this.

498
00:33:40,254 --> 00:33:43,389
[Tessitore] Piper has set up
that steel chair a few times.

499
00:33:43,423 --> 00:33:45,759
Once between the turnbuckles.
Another in the corner.

500
00:33:47,026 --> 00:33:49,129
There's been several collisions from Vega,

501
00:33:49,161 --> 00:33:51,665
and this one
might be the best of the bunch.

502
00:33:51,697 --> 00:33:55,118
[Tessitore] Oh, the counter!
She's able to counter with the DDT.

503
00:33:56,570 --> 00:34:00,591
Scrappy Zelina Vega,
but Piper Niven rolls out.

504
00:34:00,623 --> 00:34:02,842
[Barrett] Well, Piper Niven
has no clue where she's at,

505
00:34:02,876 --> 00:34:07,397
but somehow instinct kicked in,
and she got out of trouble for now.

506
00:34:07,430 --> 00:34:10,350
Take another look at this. The salute…

507
00:34:12,185 --> 00:34:17,808
gave that slight beat of an opportunity
for Zelina Vega to turn it into a DDT

508
00:34:18,424 --> 00:34:21,043
and seize the momentum once again.

509
00:34:21,078 --> 00:34:24,581
[Tessitore] Oh, goes up top!
The moonsault takes them all out!

510
00:34:24,614 --> 00:34:26,717
Chelsea and the Secret Hervice,

511
00:34:26,750 --> 00:34:29,386
and she gives a big right hand
to Alba Fyre,

512
00:34:29,418 --> 00:34:32,371
Alba Fyre, who she recently defeated.

513
00:34:32,406 --> 00:34:34,690
[Barrett]
I felt that was a little unnecessary.

514
00:34:34,725 --> 00:34:36,176
A cheap shot at Alba Fyre,

515
00:34:36,210 --> 00:34:39,563
but right now it's all about
Zelina Vega going skyward.

516
00:34:39,596 --> 00:34:41,581
Oh, nice and simple.

517
00:34:41,614 --> 00:34:46,703
A bear paw to the jaw of Vega.
A giant slap.

518
00:34:46,737 --> 00:34:49,806
There's nothing pretty,
but it is highly effective.

519
00:34:49,839 --> 00:34:52,743
And talking about highly effective,
where the hell are we going here?

520
00:34:52,775 --> 00:34:55,212
[Tessitore]
Piper's climbing right up there with Vega.

521
00:34:55,712 --> 00:34:59,933
Piper Niven looking for the superplex,

522
00:34:59,967 --> 00:35:03,502
but fighting back with body shot
after body shot

523
00:35:03,537 --> 00:35:07,774
and then the headbutt
is the diminutive Zelina Vega.

524
00:35:07,808 --> 00:35:09,877
[Barrett] I don't like
the look of this at all, Joe Tess.

525
00:35:09,910 --> 00:35:11,562
I know what Vega's going for.

526
00:35:11,595 --> 00:35:13,462
[Tessitore] Super Code Red,
could it be, Wade?

527
00:35:13,497 --> 00:35:15,449
[Barrett] Oh, no. Off the second rope!

528
00:35:15,482 --> 00:35:17,167
[Tessitore] Are you kidding me?

529
00:35:17,201 --> 00:35:18,418
[Barrett screams] Ah!

530
00:35:21,038 --> 00:35:23,089
[Tessitore] Into the cover. Lateral press.

531
00:35:23,906 --> 00:35:28,795
Oh, and Alba Fyre comes into the ring,
and now Chelsea Green gets involved

532
00:35:28,828 --> 00:35:33,217
and is beating down her chief rival
who took the title from her.

533
00:35:33,250 --> 00:35:36,118
[Barrett] Oh, wait, there's no bell.
There's no disqualification.

534
00:35:36,153 --> 00:35:37,287
You know why, Joe Tess?

535
00:35:37,321 --> 00:35:39,990
-It's a Bakersfield Brawl.
-[Tessitore] It's a Bakersfield Brawl.

536
00:35:40,022 --> 00:35:43,426
[Barrett] And it's the best call
in the history of Nick Aldis.

537
00:35:43,460 --> 00:35:47,130
[Tessitore] Street Fight rules,
and it is over delivering.

538
00:35:48,365 --> 00:35:51,785
[Barrett] Chelsea Green and
her Secret Hervice over deliver

539
00:35:51,817 --> 00:35:53,904
every time they're on TV, Joe Tess.

540
00:35:53,937 --> 00:35:56,256
I'm glad you've finally come around.

541
00:36:00,794 --> 00:36:03,547
[Tessitore] You can see
they're bringing a table into the ring

542
00:36:03,580 --> 00:36:09,002
as Niven slams down,
sit out onto the floor.

543
00:36:09,036 --> 00:36:13,973
[Barrett] I mean, you can throw Vega
into the ring now, get an easy pin,

544
00:36:14,007 --> 00:36:15,942
but it's not just about the win tonight.

545
00:36:15,976 --> 00:36:18,194
It's about making a statement.

546
00:36:18,228 --> 00:36:21,865
It's about making an example of someone

547
00:36:21,899 --> 00:36:26,603
who has humiliated Chelsea Green's
Secret Hervice week after week.

548
00:36:26,636 --> 00:36:30,406
[Tessitore] Now, the numbers game
has proven to be too much right now.

549
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,644
[Barrett] The numbers game,
the power game, the intensity.

550
00:36:34,928 --> 00:36:38,781
[Barrett] Zelina Vega made her bed,
and now she is gonna lie in it.

551
00:36:40,701 --> 00:36:42,586
[Tessitore] The United States Champion.

552
00:36:43,337 --> 00:36:45,772
Forty-two days with that title.

553
00:36:45,806 --> 00:36:48,909
[Barrett] We're about to witness
some grievous bodily harm…

554
00:36:48,942 --> 00:36:49,942
[Tessitore] Oh, no.

555
00:36:49,977 --> 00:36:53,881
…from the mean, the moody,
the magnificent Piper Niven.

556
00:36:55,031 --> 00:36:58,168
[Tessitore] Piper's looking to come to--
Oh! Giulia is here!

557
00:36:58,886 --> 00:37:02,322
-Giulia evens things up!
-[Barrett] What the hell is Giulia doing?

558
00:37:02,356 --> 00:37:05,459
[Tessitore] Giulia, who will be
in the Women's Money in the Bank.

559
00:37:05,491 --> 00:37:07,027
-And look at Vega!
-[Barrett] Oh, no.

560
00:37:07,627 --> 00:37:11,198
[Tessitore] Back on her feet,
and Giulia's got a kendo stick in hand.

561
00:37:11,231 --> 00:37:12,982
-[Barrett screams] Ah!
-[Tessitore] Oh, wow!

562
00:37:13,016 --> 00:37:15,469
-[Barrett] Stop it!
-[Tessitore] Just in time!

563
00:37:15,502 --> 00:37:17,069
My, oh, my!

564
00:37:20,607 --> 00:37:22,092
["The Visual" playing]

565
00:37:23,944 --> 00:37:26,947
[Nash] Here is your winner,

566
00:37:26,980 --> 00:37:33,053
Zelina Vega!

567
00:37:33,871 --> 00:37:36,440
[Barrett] Well, Giulia,
who's made it quite clear

568
00:37:36,473 --> 00:37:41,511
she wants a piece of Zelina Vega
and the United States title,

569
00:37:41,545 --> 00:37:46,667
giving a massive
assist to the United States Champion

570
00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:51,388
who once again has humiliated
the Secret Hervice for what,

571
00:37:51,421 --> 00:37:52,623
eight weeks in a row.

572
00:37:54,591 --> 00:37:56,844
[Tessitore] Well,
thank goodness for Giulia

573
00:37:57,344 --> 00:38:01,815
to come in when the numbers game
was going so south against Zelina Vega.

574
00:38:02,833 --> 00:38:05,269
As she raises her hand in appreciation.

575
00:38:06,435 --> 00:38:08,020
Tomorrow, you'll see her in women's--

576
00:38:08,055 --> 00:38:09,790
Whoa! What is she doing?

577
00:38:11,058 --> 00:38:12,459
What was that all about?

578
00:38:14,862 --> 00:38:15,996
[Barrett] Oh!

579
00:38:18,031 --> 00:38:23,720
Giulia, highly protective
over who gets to beat up Zelina Vega,

580
00:38:23,754 --> 00:38:25,239
it would seem.

581
00:38:25,272 --> 00:38:27,057
"That US title is mine."

582
00:38:27,857 --> 00:38:31,678
[Tessitore] Title in hand
and stepping right on her.

583
00:38:31,712 --> 00:38:33,680
The former NXT Champion,

584
00:38:33,714 --> 00:38:38,335
the night before she makes her PLE debut,
letting it be known what she is targeting.

585
00:38:38,368 --> 00:38:43,357
And Giulia of course will be
in six-woman tag here on SmackDown

586
00:38:43,390 --> 00:38:45,359
later on this evening.

587
00:38:45,392 --> 00:38:47,928
Perhaps that was a little warm up for her.

588
00:38:47,961 --> 00:38:49,328
["Time of Arrival" playing]

589
00:38:49,363 --> 00:38:51,431

here in Bakersfield.

-I'm good, man.
-You good?

595
00:39:06,330 --> 00:39:09,016
Little banged up from Monday,
but ain't nothing I can't handle.

Good, man. You look good.

-Uce.
-What's up with it?

00:39:14,538 --> 00:39:16,857
-You straight?
-Yeah, I'm straight.

600
00:39:16,890 --> 00:39:18,759
Yeah, I'm good.
Why everybody keep asking me that?

Whoa, chill, man.
You got a match tomorrow.

Big title match on Monday.

We just wanna make sure the yeet man
ready to yeet when it's time to yeet.

00:39:25,031 --> 00:39:27,701
I'm good, uce. I'm a champion now.

That's what champs do, uce.
Answer the play, run the call.

606
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,471
But look, though,
only thing we gotta worry about

607
00:39:32,506 --> 00:39:35,075
is what John Cena
and Logan Paul have to say tonight.

608
00:39:35,107 --> 00:39:36,125
[Rhodes] Mmm.

609
00:39:36,159 --> 00:39:38,929
Other than that,
worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

No. I can't let it go.

613
00:39:54,694 --> 00:39:59,316
Initially, I had convinced myself
that someone of your standing,

614
00:40:00,734 --> 00:40:04,087
somebody who is so loved
by the WWE Universe

615
00:40:04,121 --> 00:40:06,056
using the Black Mass…

616
00:40:13,046 --> 00:40:16,083
using the Black Mass
was almost respectful,

617
00:40:16,116 --> 00:40:19,353
and in a weird way, I still respect it,
but the longer I think about it,

618
00:40:21,138 --> 00:40:22,471
the more I think that you…

619
00:40:22,506 --> 00:40:24,924
you… you… you…
you stole something from me.

620
00:40:25,692 --> 00:40:28,328
And that does not sit well with me.

621
00:40:28,362 --> 00:40:30,464
See, it's funny
what the human mind can do.

622
00:40:32,950 --> 00:40:35,586
But now I wanna take away

623
00:40:36,752 --> 00:40:40,107
all this security
that you had in that match.

624
00:40:40,140 --> 00:40:44,528
No Shinsuke Nakamura. No relaxed rules.

625
00:40:45,112 --> 00:40:47,714
Just you and me.

626
00:40:48,482 --> 00:40:51,167
And none of all the shadows that
were there, and I'll drag you into light.

627
00:40:51,201 --> 00:40:52,586
Now let's see what's left of you.

But if you beat me, LA Knight,

00:40:58,075 --> 00:41:00,426

it is revenge time for Aleister Black.

sweat out half of my body weight

00:43:36,066 --> 00:43:37,067
[crowd] Yeah!

667
00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:38,502
But I ain't, uh…

668
00:43:40,537 --> 00:43:42,172
I'm not satisfied with that.

669
00:43:43,323 --> 00:43:47,261
I'm not happy with that because
I look at five guys running out here.

670
00:43:47,294 --> 00:43:51,365
-You got Penta.
-[crowd cheers]

671
00:43:52,049 --> 00:43:53,400
All right, we like him a little bit.

672
00:43:53,433 --> 00:43:56,403
We know he's gonna do everything
under the sun

673
00:43:56,435 --> 00:43:58,955
to try and reach up and grab that case.

674
00:44:01,308 --> 00:44:04,728
-We got Andrade.
-[crowd cheers]

675
00:44:04,761 --> 00:44:06,730
Okay, we like him a little bit too.

676
00:44:07,763 --> 00:44:12,669
Another guy who's gonna do every
possible thing that he can to get up there

677
00:44:12,703 --> 00:44:14,638
because of course
he's in Money in the Bank.

678
00:44:14,671 --> 00:44:17,441
Everybody in Money in the Bank is going
to do every single thing they can do,

679
00:44:17,473 --> 00:44:19,493
but these guys are gonna take it
to another level.

680
00:44:19,526 --> 00:44:21,694
But after I get to those two guys,

681
00:44:21,728 --> 00:44:24,598
two guys that maybe
we can respect a little bit,

682
00:44:24,631 --> 00:44:27,718
then we get to the goon side of things.

683
00:44:32,439 --> 00:44:34,575
Then we get to, uh,

684
00:44:35,459 --> 00:44:39,513
we get to, uh, El Grande Americano Gable.

685
00:44:39,546 --> 00:44:42,466
[crowd cheers, boos]

686
00:44:42,499 --> 00:44:45,903
Well, that was a mixed reaction.
We like him or we don't?

687
00:44:45,935 --> 00:44:47,871
[crowd boos]

688
00:44:56,596 --> 00:44:59,082
Dummy number two, Solo.

689
00:44:59,116 --> 00:45:02,102
[crowd boos]

690
00:45:02,134 --> 00:45:06,106
I had a feeling that'd be a bad bit.
I feel the same way if I'm honest.

691
00:45:06,138 --> 00:45:08,892
And look, Solo,
we've done this a million times.

692
00:45:08,926 --> 00:45:10,978
I can drop you on your head one more time,

693
00:45:11,011 --> 00:45:13,313
climb the ladder
and take that case, no problem.

694
00:45:13,346 --> 00:45:15,716
But then I think about dummy number three.

695
00:45:18,902 --> 00:45:22,455
I think about a man that I haven't had
a whole lot of interaction with.

696
00:45:22,489 --> 00:45:26,692
I think about a guy who's recently
got himself a little bit crewed up.

697
00:45:26,727 --> 00:45:28,912
He's got a couple of guys
running around with him

698
00:45:28,946 --> 00:45:30,931
and I'm talking about Seth Rollins.

699
00:45:38,856 --> 00:45:41,158
Seth's been here. He's done that.

700
00:45:41,191 --> 00:45:42,308
He's had that case.

701
00:45:42,342 --> 00:45:44,094
He's been the champion,
as a matter of fact,

702
00:45:44,127 --> 00:45:47,531
he's gonna want to come in tomorrow
and he's gonna wanna burn it down.

703
00:45:50,283 --> 00:45:52,069
But, Seth, what you got to understand,

704
00:45:53,420 --> 00:45:55,888
is there's nothing hotter
than an LA Knight

705
00:45:55,923 --> 00:45:59,625
with LA Knight in LA tomorrow night, yeah.

706
00:45:59,660 --> 00:46:00,794
[crowd] Yeah!

707
00:46:00,827 --> 00:46:04,064
And what that means is you ain't
gonna be burning a damn thing down

708
00:46:04,096 --> 00:46:07,334
'cause you're gonna get burned
by this man, yeah.

709
00:46:07,366 --> 00:46:08,702
[crowd] Yeah!

710
00:46:09,853 --> 00:46:12,055
But before we get there,
I gotta think about tonight.

711
00:46:12,089 --> 00:46:14,808
And tonight, well, Aleister Black,

712
00:46:14,842 --> 00:46:16,676
he… he had a shot.

713
00:46:17,911 --> 00:46:22,149
And I understand, I understand.
Look, this is a big deal here.

714
00:46:22,182 --> 00:46:23,683
Money in the Bank is a big deal.

715
00:46:24,201 --> 00:46:27,487
Money in the Bank can make careers.
It can break careers.

716
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,424
So I understand why your feelings got hurt
at the fact that I went ahead

717
00:46:31,458 --> 00:46:33,026
and "stole the pin from you."

718
00:46:33,060 --> 00:46:35,127
My man, it's a three-way match.

719
00:46:35,162 --> 00:46:37,948
I did what I had to do
and I got the job done.

720
00:46:37,981 --> 00:46:40,600
If you got a problem with that,
if that hurt your feelings,

721
00:46:40,634 --> 00:46:43,804
I'm sorry for you, but now what you did
is you set yourself up

722
00:46:43,837 --> 00:46:47,406
to get your feelings hurt
one more time, yeah.

723
00:46:47,441 --> 00:46:48,442
[crowd] Yeah!

724
00:46:48,475 --> 00:46:51,645
And you will know coming into LA,
coming into California,

725
00:46:51,678 --> 00:46:53,680
well, we're in Bakersfield tonight,
he ain't gonna be in LA.

726
00:46:53,714 --> 00:46:55,632
He's gonna be sitting on the couch.

727
00:46:55,665 --> 00:46:57,017
He's gonna be sitting on the couch

728
00:46:57,049 --> 00:47:00,136
watching this man showing everybody
whose game this is.

729
00:47:00,170 --> 00:47:01,888
With everybody saying…

730
00:47:01,922 --> 00:47:05,275
-[crowd] LA Knight, yeah!
-Yeah!

731
00:47:05,959 --> 00:47:07,961

[Tessitore] Been a fascinating return
to WWE for Aleister Black.

738
00:48:14,027 --> 00:48:18,415
This will be his fifth match
since coming back over a month ago.

739
00:48:19,616 --> 00:48:23,987
Coming off a lone loss
on SmackDown in his entire career,

740
00:48:24,020 --> 00:48:28,442
and now he faces the man
who took that triple-threat win from him,

741
00:48:28,475 --> 00:48:32,663
or as Knight just said moments ago,
"I did what I had to do."

742
00:48:33,931 --> 00:48:37,350
[Barrett] Aleister Black feels
like that victory and qualification

743
00:48:37,384 --> 00:48:39,987
for Money in the Bank was stolen from him.

744
00:48:40,721 --> 00:48:45,392
[Tessitore] It's Black against LA Knight.

745
00:48:45,424 --> 00:48:46,593

[Tessitore] Joe and Wade with you here
from the sold out Dignity Health Arena.

749
00:49:02,326 --> 00:49:07,531
LA Knight and Aleister Black
see each other again after a few weeks ago

750
00:49:07,564 --> 00:49:10,651
when they were in the Money in the Bank
triple-threat qualifier

751
00:49:10,683 --> 00:49:14,254
that Aleister Black put himself
in great position to win

752
00:49:14,288 --> 00:49:16,890
with his offensive assault
against Shinsuke Nakamura.

753
00:49:16,924 --> 00:49:20,259
Then LA Knight, just when Aleister Black
thought he could put it away,

754
00:49:20,294 --> 00:49:24,131
LA Knight came in the ring,
tossed Black, made the cover, got the win,

755
00:49:24,163 --> 00:49:27,049
earned his way to what will be
the men's Money in the Bank ladder match.

756
00:49:27,084 --> 00:49:29,653
Tomorrow just down the road in LA.

757
00:49:29,685 --> 00:49:31,120
Back and forth they go.

758
00:49:31,154 --> 00:49:32,689
[Barrett] Yeah, for me,
I completely disagree

759
00:49:32,723 --> 00:49:34,525
with the perspective of Aleister Black.

760
00:49:34,558 --> 00:49:35,993
I get the frustration…

761
00:49:36,026 --> 00:49:41,048
Went for that Black Mass there,
but LA Knight simply too wise for it.

762
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:45,618
And that implication that somehow
Knight stole the victory and qualification

763
00:49:45,652 --> 00:49:49,806
to the Money in the Bank ladder match
has not sat well at all with The Megastar,

764
00:49:49,839 --> 00:49:55,194
who tonight is looking to extinguish
all doubt by putting Black down.

765
00:49:56,712 --> 00:49:58,799
[Tessitore] He said,
"Hey, listen, it's a triple-threat.

766
00:49:58,832 --> 00:49:59,966
I was doing what I had to do.

767
00:50:01,585 --> 00:50:03,036
[Barrett] Just the nature of it,

768
00:50:03,069 --> 00:50:06,373
you don't have a divine right
to a victory or a pin

769
00:50:06,406 --> 00:50:09,776
just because you hit the move
that kept an opponent down.

770
00:50:09,810 --> 00:50:11,044
[Tessitore] You brought up
the fact though,

771
00:50:11,078 --> 00:50:13,864
the concern of taking on a match like this
and this matchup of skills…

772
00:50:13,897 --> 00:50:14,948
Round and round they go.

773
00:50:14,982 --> 00:50:17,584
…the night before you compete
in Money in the Bank,

774
00:50:17,618 --> 00:50:22,221
but that's who LA Knight is,
his 24th match now of this calendar year.

775
00:50:22,256 --> 00:50:24,124
That's the most in WWE this year, Wade.

776
00:50:24,156 --> 00:50:28,745
[Barrett] Yeah, add up cumulative minutes
of in-ring competition in 2025.

777
00:50:28,779 --> 00:50:33,383
I'm willing to bet that LA Knight
is at the front of the pack,

778
00:50:33,417 --> 00:50:37,104
and it's admirable, yes,
but it has consequences,

779
00:50:37,136 --> 00:50:41,441
and I'll tell you right now, Joe Tess,
burning the candle at both ends

780
00:50:41,475 --> 00:50:45,045
is not a good long term strategy
for anybody.

781
00:50:45,078 --> 00:50:48,397
There is a price to pay
in the form of fatigue.

782
00:50:48,432 --> 00:50:51,451
[Tessitore] By the way,
we cite the 24 matches.

783
00:50:51,484 --> 00:50:57,357
He has 13 wins this calendar year.
That's the second most total wins in WWE.

784
00:50:57,391 --> 00:50:59,526
Stephanie Vaquer has 14.

785
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,995
Stephanie Vaquer
who we'll see later tonight,

786
00:51:02,029 --> 00:51:03,430
who we'll see tomorrow.

787
00:51:03,462 --> 00:51:06,299
The women's
Money in the Bank ladder match.

788
00:51:06,333 --> 00:51:09,036
It's a fascinating group
that's put together.

789
00:51:09,069 --> 00:51:11,538
Those six women going for the briefcase.

790
00:51:11,571 --> 00:51:14,308
[Barrett] Well, all those victories
you've just mentioned about LA Knight

791
00:51:14,341 --> 00:51:16,627
will pale in comparison

792
00:51:16,660 --> 00:51:20,247
to the one he could pull off
tomorrow night in Los Angeles,

793
00:51:20,279 --> 00:51:22,850
-if he grabs the briefcase…
-[Tessitore] Hooks the leg.

794
00:51:22,883 --> 00:51:24,750
…and the contract there in.

795
00:51:24,785 --> 00:51:29,673
An almost surefire guarantee,
that in the not too distant future,

796
00:51:29,705 --> 00:51:32,826
you will be acquiring gold the easy way.

797
00:51:32,859 --> 00:51:35,428
[crowd chanting] LA Knight!

798
00:51:40,616 --> 00:51:44,370
[Barrett] I'll tell you right now, this
really has been a back and forth affair.

799
00:51:44,404 --> 00:51:47,774
We know the mind games,
the psychology of Aleister Black

800
00:51:47,808 --> 00:51:49,442
often unravels opponents.

801
00:51:49,475 --> 00:51:55,082
I'd say, The Megastar ego of LA Knight
is perhaps impenetrable

802
00:51:55,115 --> 00:51:57,134
to those mind games of Aleister Black,

803
00:51:57,167 --> 00:51:59,819
-at least they have looked that way--
-[Tessitore] Oh!

804
00:51:59,853 --> 00:52:02,406
[Tessitore] He went for the DDT,
but instead gets put down.

805
00:52:02,439 --> 00:52:04,975
-And then the kick to the face from LA.
-[Barrett] Oh!

806
00:52:05,008 --> 00:52:06,609
Yeah, well,
if the mind games aren't working,

807
00:52:06,643 --> 00:52:09,613
-the physical ones certainly are.
-[Tessitore] Oh, man.

808
00:52:09,645 --> 00:52:11,798
[Barrett] No backing down
by LA Knight here.

809
00:52:12,982 --> 00:52:15,352
[Tessitore] Quickly able to kick out
is Aleister Black.

810
00:52:15,384 --> 00:52:17,571
[Barrett] I love the offense
of Aleister Black,

811
00:52:17,604 --> 00:52:20,406
he's so quick, amazing reflexes,

812
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,076
and then, of course,
those Muay Thai strikes

813
00:52:23,109 --> 00:52:27,413
that practically nobody in the locker room
has any form of defense for.

814
00:52:27,446 --> 00:52:29,583
It's not our game here
in a wrestling ring,

815
00:52:29,616 --> 00:52:32,336
and that's what makes
Aleister Black so dangerous.

816
00:52:32,368 --> 00:52:34,221
[Tessitore] Oh, the jawbreaker from Black.

817
00:52:34,904 --> 00:52:38,542
And Knight quick to counter,
went for that elbow,

818
00:52:38,575 --> 00:52:39,725
that was parried.

819
00:52:39,759 --> 00:52:42,828
[Barrett] And back on those
strikes again is Aleister Black. Oh!

820
00:52:43,881 --> 00:52:46,850
[Tessitore] Back in control is Black.
Hooks the leg looking for the win here.

821
00:52:46,884 --> 00:52:49,136
[Barrett] And it's like boxing, Joe,
you're the expert at that.

822
00:52:49,169 --> 00:52:52,839
But every time LA Knight throws a block,

823
00:52:52,873 --> 00:52:55,241
it's opened up a different part
of the body,

824
00:52:55,274 --> 00:52:58,345
and instinctively,
Aleister Black knows how to strike.

825
00:52:58,377 --> 00:53:01,882
You know what? Block your kidney,
I'll hit you in the jaw with a knee.

826
00:53:01,915 --> 00:53:07,370
[Tessitore] Yep, he has that kickboxing
Muay Thai pedigree, the striking ability,

827
00:53:07,404 --> 00:53:09,256
powerful, accurate,

828
00:53:09,288 --> 00:53:11,424
but he knows where to find those spots.

829
00:53:11,457 --> 00:53:13,509
[Barrett] And there's no
professional wrestling school

830
00:53:13,544 --> 00:53:16,078
on planet Earth that is teaching that.

831
00:53:16,113 --> 00:53:18,932
You have to go
to these world-class kickboxing gyms

832
00:53:18,966 --> 00:53:22,719
-that Aleister Black prowls…
-[Tessitore] Lateral press.

833
00:53:22,752 --> 00:53:24,555
…training with world champions.

834
00:53:25,471 --> 00:53:30,009
And simply nobody has found
an answer to it yet here on Smackdown.

835
00:53:32,678 --> 00:53:35,015
[Tessitore] That's exactly
what you're talking about right there,

836
00:53:35,048 --> 00:53:38,051
as Black with the leg sweep,

837
00:53:38,085 --> 00:53:40,270
and then the sliding knee comes in.

838
00:53:41,087 --> 00:53:42,873
[Barrett] And at this point,
if you're LA Knight,

839
00:53:42,906 --> 00:53:44,924
-you're begging somebody to--
-[Tessitore] Oh!

840
00:53:44,957 --> 00:53:46,026
[Barrett] God, oh, God!

841
00:53:46,627 --> 00:53:49,145
[Tessitore] He was going
for that springboard moonsault,

842
00:53:49,178 --> 00:53:53,116
and instead they're both out on the floor
after the clothesline.

843
00:53:56,870 --> 00:53:58,906
[Tessitore] Tomorrow afternoon in LA.

844
00:53:58,939 --> 00:54:02,408
As you see Black rolling through.
As LA Knight…

845
00:54:02,442 --> 00:54:06,663
LA Knight's gonna be in Money in the Bank,
but he is taking a lot here.

846
00:54:06,696 --> 00:54:10,017
The moonsault comes through this time
for Aleister Black!

847
00:54:10,049 --> 00:54:12,252
And LA Knight kicks out.

848
00:54:12,286 --> 00:54:14,136
Tomorrow he's gonna be
in Money in the Bank.

849
00:54:14,171 --> 00:54:17,074
Tonight he's dealing
with the skill of Aleister Black.

850
00:54:17,107 --> 00:54:22,145
[Barrett] The skill and the otherworldly
athleticism of Aleister Black.

851
00:54:22,178 --> 00:54:25,499
So much is made of the…
the mystique and the mind games,

852
00:54:25,531 --> 00:54:30,404
but far more terrifying for me
is this level of physicality

853
00:54:30,437 --> 00:54:32,221
that keeps opponents guessing.

854
00:54:33,674 --> 00:54:35,075
[Tessitore] He's lining up Black Mass!

855
00:54:35,107 --> 00:54:38,212
LA ducks it, goes for BFT.

856
00:54:38,245 --> 00:54:40,013
Able to get free is Black.

857
00:54:40,047 --> 00:54:43,834
Back and forth they go,
and finally that jumping neckbreaker.

858
00:54:45,152 --> 00:54:47,471
LA Knight with momentum now!

859
00:54:48,622 --> 00:54:51,792
[Barrett] Well, ladies and gentlemen,
whose game is it?

860
00:54:51,825 --> 00:54:54,261
[crowd cheering]

861
00:54:58,498 --> 00:55:01,835
[crowd] LA Knight, yeah!

862
00:55:01,868 --> 00:55:03,569
[Tessitore] Leaping elbow. No!

863
00:55:03,604 --> 00:55:07,307
Able to see that boot coming
though, just in time.

864
00:55:07,341 --> 00:55:10,460
[Barrett] This time it's LA Knight
with those incredible reflexes,

865
00:55:10,493 --> 00:55:13,446
turning the tables on Aleister Black.

866
00:55:14,681 --> 00:55:17,466
[Tessitore] Burning Hammer was denied
as he landed on his feet.

867
00:55:18,335 --> 00:55:19,336
The roll up.

868
00:55:20,020 --> 00:55:21,888
And a kick out at two.

869
00:55:21,922 --> 00:55:24,607
[Barrett] Well, these guys
really neutralizing one another,

870
00:55:24,641 --> 00:55:28,662
going move for move,
hold for hold, counter for counter.

871
00:55:29,263 --> 00:55:30,714
Oh.

872
00:55:35,602 --> 00:55:37,955
[Tessitore] It's been fascinating
to see this matchup.

873
00:55:38,571 --> 00:55:39,705
These too wildly skilled.

874
00:55:39,740 --> 00:55:44,795
Going for that moonsault again,
but instead, Knight meets him right away.

875
00:55:46,145 --> 00:55:47,848
And there's a Burning Hammer.

876
00:55:47,881 --> 00:55:49,066
As Knight…

877
00:55:50,049 --> 00:55:55,254
And rolling free and out of harm's way
was Aleister Black.

878
00:55:55,288 --> 00:55:59,142
[Barrett] Aleister Black looking
all glassy-eyed on the outside.

879
00:55:59,176 --> 00:56:00,176
But wait a second!

880
00:56:00,210 --> 00:56:02,828
[Tessitore] What in the world
is Seth Rollins doing?

881
00:56:02,863 --> 00:56:03,864
[bell rings]

882
00:56:03,897 --> 00:56:07,350
He just came in and stomped LA Knight.

883
00:56:07,384 --> 00:56:09,386
[crowd boos]

884
00:56:12,004 --> 00:56:18,629
[Barrett] Well, we talked a little earlier
about how Seth "Freakin" Rollins

885
00:56:18,662 --> 00:56:23,667
has a master plan for tomorrow night
in the Money in the Bank ladder match.

886
00:56:23,700 --> 00:56:28,422
Well, one of those opponents,
who is now apparently a victim,

887
00:56:28,455 --> 00:56:30,307
is The Megastar LA knight.

888
00:56:30,339 --> 00:56:32,292
[Tessitore] He's looking
for another stomp.

889
00:56:32,326 --> 00:56:37,247
Oh, and Aleister Black
is gonna confront him.

890
00:56:43,886 --> 00:56:48,008
And Bron Breakker is in the ring.

891
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:49,826
Spear!

892
00:56:49,859 --> 00:56:51,861
Breakker hits the spear!

893
00:56:52,412 --> 00:56:55,015
[Barrett] Wrong place, wrong time
for Aleister Black,

894
00:56:55,048 --> 00:56:58,585
who is apparently collateral damage.

895
00:56:58,618 --> 00:57:03,006
[Tessitore] Oh, and the senton
by big Bronson Reed.

896
00:57:03,790 --> 00:57:06,844
Tomorrow LA Knight has to deal with…

897
00:57:07,911 --> 00:57:10,147
Oh, a spear on Knight!

898
00:57:10,180 --> 00:57:13,783
[Barrett] Well, LA Knight has to make it
to tomorrow first.

899
00:57:13,817 --> 00:57:17,770
What condition is The Megastar
going to be in

900
00:57:18,305 --> 00:57:20,490
in the Money in the Bank ladder match?

901
00:57:20,524 --> 00:57:22,975
-That's what this is all about…
-["The Vision" plays]

902
00:57:23,009 --> 00:57:25,546
…soften up one of the biggest threats

903
00:57:25,578 --> 00:57:29,216
to Seth "Freakin" Rollins's
path to victory

904
00:57:29,249 --> 00:57:31,118
in the Money in the Bank ladder match.

905
00:57:31,151 --> 00:57:32,319
[crowd vocalizing]

906
00:57:32,352 --> 00:57:37,674
[Tessitore] What was a brilliant match.
Interrupted by Seth Rollins.

907
00:57:37,707 --> 00:57:41,944
Everybody here at SmackDown should
have taken notice right from the start.

908
00:57:41,979 --> 00:57:45,365
Those are the participants tomorrow,
the men's ladder match.

909
00:57:45,399 --> 00:57:49,486
Seth Rollins and this alliance
with Breakker and Bronson Reed.

910
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,038
[Barrett] Well, it's utter devastation.

911
00:57:51,071 --> 00:57:54,558
We've seen how dominant
that power trio can be.

912
00:57:54,591 --> 00:57:57,444
Now they've brought their efforts,
apparently for one night only,

913
00:57:57,477 --> 00:57:59,312
here to SmackDown,

914
00:57:59,346 --> 00:58:01,481
and then to Money in the Bank tomorrow.

915
00:58:01,515 --> 00:58:04,234
Of course, Money in the Bank
tomorrow 7:00 p.m. Streaming on Peacock.

916
00:58:04,268 --> 00:58:08,187
But as for other massive new plans
being put forth,

917
00:58:08,821 --> 00:58:10,874
Raw general manager, Adam Pearce,

918
00:58:10,908 --> 00:58:13,911
our SmackDown general manager,
Nick Aldis, here they are.

919
00:58:17,196 --> 00:58:20,584
At WWE things tend to move pretty fast.

920
00:58:20,616 --> 00:58:22,886
This week we're climbing the ladder
at Money in the Bank,

921
00:58:22,919 --> 00:58:27,140
and next week, well, we're kicking off the
King and Queen of the Ring tournaments.

922
00:58:27,174 --> 00:58:29,109
And this year it's bigger than ever.

923
00:58:29,142 --> 00:58:31,745
The tournaments begin
with four fatal 4-way matches

924
00:58:31,778 --> 00:58:33,297
in the men's and women's division.

925
00:58:34,013 --> 00:58:35,649
And the winners advance.

926
00:58:35,682 --> 00:58:37,884
[Aldis] From there it becomes
a co-branded singles competition

927
00:58:37,917 --> 00:58:40,020
with semi-finals and the finals.

928
00:58:40,053 --> 00:58:43,423
[Pearce] And those finals,
they take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

929
00:58:44,323 --> 00:58:45,993
at Night of Champions.

930
00:58:46,026 --> 00:58:51,098
But the stakes could not be higher
because the King and Queen of the Ring

931
00:58:51,131 --> 00:58:54,567
get a title match against the top champion
of their respective brands

932
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,403
at the biggest event of the summer,

933
00:58:56,435 --> 00:58:58,004
SummerSlam.

934
00:58:58,038 --> 00:59:02,759
So good luck, everybody.
May the best man and woman win.

935
00:59:06,413 --> 00:59:10,267
What a headline-grabbing announcement
by Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce

936
00:59:10,299 --> 00:59:15,772
with the return of the King and Queen
of the Ring tournaments to WWE.

937
00:59:15,806 --> 00:59:19,292
Well, my next guest has a vested interest
in one of those tournaments.

938
00:59:19,326 --> 00:59:21,478
She is Jade Cargill.

939
00:59:21,511 --> 00:59:22,980
-What is up?
-[crowd cheers]

940
00:59:23,013 --> 00:59:24,330
What's going on, Jade?

941
00:59:24,364 --> 00:59:26,899
Listen, I know tomorrow night you would
have loved to have been part

942
00:59:26,933 --> 00:59:28,819
of the women's Money in the Bank
ladder match,

943
00:59:28,852 --> 00:59:33,173
but how good does it feel
knowing that now you get to compete

944
00:59:33,207 --> 00:59:34,924
in the Queen of the Ring tournament?

945
00:59:34,957 --> 00:59:36,109
I mean, it feels great.

946
00:59:36,143 --> 00:59:39,029
Now I understand I won't have
the opportunity

947
00:59:39,062 --> 00:59:41,765
of climbing that ladder
and grabbing that briefcase,

948
00:59:41,798 --> 00:59:44,301
but I'm gonna keep climbing regardless.

949
00:59:44,334 --> 00:59:48,705
I am The Storm and I can't wait to tear
through this Queen of the Ring tournament,

950
00:59:48,739 --> 00:59:52,276
and when the dust settles,
I will be your next Queen of the Ring.

951
00:59:52,308 --> 00:59:54,161
And at SummerSlam,

952
00:59:54,194 --> 00:59:56,647
I'm not asking for gold, I'm taking it.

953
00:59:57,915 --> 01:00:00,567
On a slightly different note,
also last week,

954
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:05,122
we saw Bianca Belair refuse
to forgive Naomi for what she did to you,

955
01:00:05,154 --> 01:00:06,807
but everybody wants to know,

956
01:00:06,839 --> 01:00:09,843
where do things stand
between you and Bianca?

957
01:00:15,415 --> 01:00:19,403
Jade, listen, just a friendly reminder,
salt and sugar look the same.

958
01:00:19,435 --> 01:00:23,323
So either choose your friends wisely
or don't have any at all.

959
01:00:24,174 --> 01:00:26,243
And if you think you're winning
Queen of the Ring,

960
01:00:26,276 --> 01:00:27,761
you're gonna need a prayer.

961
01:00:27,794 --> 01:00:31,365
There's only one queen in the WWE.

962
01:00:33,049 --> 01:00:34,317
[crowd cheers]

963
01:00:34,350 --> 01:00:35,602
Good luck with that, ladies.

964
01:00:38,772 --> 01:00:40,573
[Tessitore] Now look who is set
to join us.

965
01:00:40,607 --> 01:00:44,127
No matter what time zone you're in,
it's always Tiffy Time.

966
01:00:50,767 --> 01:00:52,368
[laughs]

967
01:00:56,707 --> 01:00:57,908
[in Spanish] All right, Santos.

968
01:00:58,475 --> 01:01:00,477
Why did you bring us here?

969
01:01:00,511 --> 01:01:01,611
Family…

970
01:01:03,096 --> 01:01:05,198
After the meeting we had,

971
01:01:05,232 --> 01:01:08,067
we agreed that we are
going to Worlds Collide.

972
01:01:08,100 --> 01:01:10,604
But now, I have a plan.

973
01:01:10,636 --> 01:01:12,256
Very simple.

974
01:01:12,990 --> 01:01:14,508
Worlds Collide.

975
01:01:14,540 --> 01:01:17,578
And there will be proof, once and for all.

976
01:01:17,611 --> 01:01:23,049
We will establish before our people,
our republic, our Mexico

977
01:01:23,082 --> 01:01:25,586
who owns the world of lucha libre.

978
01:01:25,618 --> 01:01:27,888
-Want a scoop?
-Yes.

979
01:01:29,556 --> 01:01:33,493
Legado Del Fantasma against Psycho Clown,

980
01:01:33,527 --> 01:01:34,727
Pagano,

981
01:01:34,761 --> 01:01:37,964
and the one who will always live
in the shadow of his father,

982
01:01:37,998 --> 01:01:40,234
Dr. Wagner the Third.

983
01:01:42,202 --> 01:01:45,004
We will effectively be removing

984
01:01:45,038 --> 01:01:47,006
the heart and soul of that house.

985
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,343
So pay close attention, I know we can.

986
01:01:49,375 --> 01:01:51,712
And I have the tools to do it.

987
01:01:51,745 --> 01:01:53,129
That is how it is.

988
01:01:53,714 --> 01:01:57,017
Let's establish who owns
the world of lucha libre

989
01:01:57,049 --> 01:01:59,852
in front of our people,
our audience, our country

990
01:01:59,886 --> 01:02:02,356
with the voice of two words:

991
01:02:03,841 --> 01:02:05,392
Legado

992
01:02:06,542 --> 01:02:07,861
Familia.

993
01:02:07,895 --> 01:02:09,562
¡Viva México!

994
01:02:14,500 --> 01:02:16,587
[in English] Alongside Brutus
and Julius Creed,

995
01:02:16,620 --> 01:02:20,040
I'd like to welcome my guest Chad Gable.

996
01:02:20,073 --> 01:02:22,609
Chad, big day for you tomorrow
at Worlds Collide,

997
01:02:22,643 --> 01:02:28,982
where you challenged El Hijo del Vikingo
for the AAA Mega Championship.

998
01:02:29,633 --> 01:02:31,518
How confident are you about this match?

999
01:02:31,551 --> 01:02:35,254
Confidence, confidence is high.
I must admit I'm a little disappointed

1000
01:02:35,288 --> 01:02:36,990
I didn't qualify for
the Money in the Bank,

1001
01:02:37,024 --> 01:02:39,076
but they found a suitable replacement.

1002

The greatest luchador of all time,

1003
01:02:40,627 --> 01:02:44,431
El Grande Americano
is gonna climb the ladder

1004
01:02:44,464 --> 01:02:46,200
and take the briefcase home.

1005
01:02:46,232 --> 01:02:50,470
And as for me, I find my own way
into the history books tomorrow

1006
01:02:50,504 --> 01:02:55,359
when I defeat Vikingo at Worlds Collide
and win the most prestigious title

1007

Let's call it for what it is, shall we?

1043
01:05:30,897 --> 01:05:35,819
Last year, I didn't just become
the youngest Ms. Money in the Bank.

1044
01:05:36,669 --> 01:05:43,393
I became the it girl of WWE,
which is why I can see it now.

1045
01:05:43,993 --> 01:05:48,582
Every single lady in that match
is gonna try and pull a Tiffy

1046
01:05:48,615 --> 01:05:53,921
and pull someone off a ladder
and then reach for the stars.

I mean, we can all agree
that every single lady in that match

is championship material, right?

But it doesn't matter
because whoever wins Money in the Bank,

1050

on the WWE umbrella,

becoming the NXT Women's Champion,

-[Tessitore] Oh, boy.
-[Barrett] Here we go!

1162
01:15:42,291 --> 01:15:45,696
[Tessitore] And somewhere you can
almost hear Booker T getting excited.

1163
01:15:45,728 --> 01:15:47,947
-[Barrett] Well, he got denied.
-[crowd boos]

1164
01:15:49,049 --> 01:15:52,553
-[Tessitore] As it is countered by Giulia.
-[Barrett] Oh.

1165
01:15:52,586 --> 01:15:55,688
[Barrett] Vaquer apparently going
for that Devil's Kiss.

1166
01:15:55,722 --> 01:15:57,124
That hypnotic move of hers.

1167
01:15:58,308 --> 01:16:01,461
Giulia knows it too well
and wanted no part of it.

1168
01:16:02,946 --> 01:16:04,615
[Tessitore] Stephanie McMahon's
What's Your Story.

1169
01:16:04,648 --> 01:16:06,767
Special guest's Criss Angel this week.

1170
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,236
That is available
wherever you get your podcast,

1171
01:16:09,269 --> 01:16:13,540
fascinating conversation between
Stephanie McMahon and Criss Angel.

1172
01:16:14,074 --> 01:16:17,010
[Barrett] How cutthroat
is Naomi these days?

1173
01:16:17,044 --> 01:16:22,132
Ever since throwing Jade Cargill through
a car windshield several months ago.

1174
01:16:27,387 --> 01:16:29,857
Vaquer so resourceful.
Wait a second, Joe Tess.

1175
01:16:29,889 --> 01:16:32,576
-[Tessitore] Could it be?
-[Barrett] Nope, denied again.

1176
01:16:32,608 --> 01:16:35,929
[Tessitore] Everybody enters the ring
as Devil's Kiss was lined up.

1177
01:16:35,963 --> 01:16:37,813
[Barrett] It ain't over yet, Joe Tess.

1178
01:16:37,848 --> 01:16:40,483
[Tessitore] Vaquer puts her in position
and delivers, Wade!

1179
01:16:46,255 --> 01:16:49,209
[Barrett] No comment, I don't want
to get in any trouble tonight.

1180
01:16:50,210 --> 01:16:55,148
[Tessitore] La Primera, The Dark Angel.
Devil's Kiss here on SmackDown.

1181
01:16:56,733 --> 01:16:59,469
[Barrett] A move that has taken
the world by storm.

1182
01:17:01,154 --> 01:17:06,410
Stephanie Vaquer showing out this evening
in the early goings.

1183
01:17:06,443 --> 01:17:08,144
[Tessitore] Trying to chase down Naomi.

1184
01:17:10,264 --> 01:17:11,965
Such focus from Vaquer.

1185
01:17:14,351 --> 01:17:16,954
What a huge weekend it is for her.

1186
01:17:16,987 --> 01:17:20,107
[Barrett] And I'd argue Stephanie Vaquer
is doing too much in this match.

1187
01:17:20,139 --> 01:17:23,160
She's already dominated the early goings,
not tagged anyone else,

1188
01:17:23,193 --> 01:17:24,545
and get this Joe Tess,

1189
01:17:24,577 --> 01:17:28,715
Vaquer competing tonight, she's competing
at Worlds Collide tomorrow

1190
01:17:28,749 --> 01:17:31,902
in a tag alongside Lola Vice from NXT,

1191
01:17:31,934 --> 01:17:34,154
and then straight after that,

1192
01:17:34,188 --> 01:17:37,224
she competes in the Women's
Money in the Bank ladder match.

1193
01:17:37,257 --> 01:17:39,059
That is too much competition.

1194
01:17:39,092 --> 01:17:44,364
Three matches in 24 hours,
that is a suicide mission by Vaquer,

1195
01:17:44,398 --> 01:17:45,898
and she's about to pay the price.

1196
01:17:45,933 --> 01:17:47,416
[Tessitore] Ref distracted there.

1197
01:17:47,451 --> 01:17:54,224
As you see Roxanne Perez now driving
her feet and her boot right in there.

1198
01:18:02,950 --> 01:18:06,068
Hooks the leg. Vaquer quick to kick out.

1199
01:18:06,103 --> 01:18:08,989
[Barrett] How about Roxanne Perez
tagging up with Giulia tonight.

1200
01:18:09,022 --> 01:18:12,809
It was Giulia who dethroned
Roxanne Perez in NXT.

1201
01:18:12,843 --> 01:18:18,415
Not only that, they had an incredibly
short-lived tag run together on Raw,

1202
01:18:18,447 --> 01:18:19,532
lasted about three weeks.

1203
01:18:19,566 --> 01:18:24,504
And then Giulia was apparently
sick to death of Roxanne Perez,

1204
01:18:24,538 --> 01:18:27,991
and wanted no more
to do with her until right now.

1205
01:18:28,025 --> 01:18:31,461
[Tessitore] All the unique complexities
when you get these six together.

1206
01:18:32,529 --> 01:18:35,799
Tomorrow they'll be trying
to reach for the heavens

1207
01:18:35,831 --> 01:18:38,285
and get that Money in the Bank
contract in the briefcase.

1208
01:18:38,318 --> 01:18:40,804
[Barrett] Six massively different
personalities,

1209
01:18:40,837 --> 01:18:42,572
all with two things in common.

1210
01:18:42,606 --> 01:18:49,263
A, they are all world class, and B,
they all have massive, massive goals,

1211
01:18:49,295 --> 01:18:51,932
which includes winning
the Money in the Bank ladder match.

1212
01:18:51,965 --> 01:18:53,767
[Tessitore] You mentioned
the different personalities,

1213
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:57,070
but I don't know that there's any
like what we've seen out of Naomi lately.

1214
01:18:57,103 --> 01:19:00,157
And here comes Alexa Bliss.

1215
01:19:00,190 --> 01:19:03,193
[Barrett] Naomi is completely demented
at the moment,

1216
01:19:03,227 --> 01:19:04,928
but has proved highly dangerous,

1217
01:19:04,962 --> 01:19:11,251
but neutralizing that danger immediately
is the astoundingly good Alexa Bliss.

1218
01:19:14,905 --> 01:19:17,574
[Tessitore] Alexa Bliss
a past Money in the Bank winner.

1219
01:19:18,258 --> 01:19:21,327
She's looking to reclaim that past glory.

1220
01:19:23,263 --> 01:19:27,000
Been a outstanding return
to action for Bliss.

1221
01:19:27,034 --> 01:19:28,818
[Barrett] Seen a couple
of surprise returns

1222
01:19:28,852 --> 01:19:31,588
-already this year from Alexa Bliss.
-[crowd cheers]

1223
01:19:31,621 --> 01:19:35,474
Hasn't spoken too loudly about goals,
but clearly getting back--

1224
01:19:35,509 --> 01:19:36,760
[Tessitore] Oh!

1225
01:19:36,793 --> 01:19:40,080
[Barrett] Championship picture
is part of it for Miss Bliss.

1226
01:19:40,112 --> 01:19:44,751
[Tessitore] Off the apron and then Perez
turns her right into the steel steps.

1227
01:19:45,485 --> 01:19:47,353
Six-woman tag team action.

1228
01:19:53,927 --> 01:19:58,465
Naomi, Roxanne Perez and Giulia are
getting the best of Alexa Bliss right now

1229
01:19:58,498 --> 01:20:00,250
in the midst of this
six-woman tag team match.

1230
01:20:00,284 --> 01:20:02,001
The night before Money in the Bank

1231
01:20:02,035 --> 01:20:06,406
when all six of these women
will be down the road in LA

1232
01:20:06,440 --> 01:20:07,741
competing for the briefcase.

1233
01:20:07,773 --> 01:20:10,811
And for Bliss, it'll be her fourth
Money in the Bank ladder match

1234
01:20:10,844 --> 01:20:13,313
of her career,
having previously been a winner.

1235
01:20:13,347 --> 01:20:15,898
[Barrett] I'll tell you right now,
her hopes of winning tomorrow night

1236
01:20:15,933 --> 01:20:18,635
-are fading by the second…
-[Tessitore] I agree, Wade.

1237
01:20:18,669 --> 01:20:20,437
…thanks to this volley of abuse.

1238
01:20:20,469 --> 01:20:22,539
Alexa Bliss is being forced to absorb,

1239
01:20:22,572 --> 01:20:24,057
but there we go,

1240
01:20:24,090 --> 01:20:27,110
-drop toe hold into the buckle.
-[Tessitore] Bliss getting out of the way.

1241
01:20:27,144 --> 01:20:29,446
[Barrett] Naomi eats it
and can Bliss get a tag?

1242
01:20:29,478 --> 01:20:31,331
How smart was that by Naomi?

1243
01:20:32,249 --> 01:20:34,568
[Tessitore] Naomi eliminating
one of the options.

1244
01:20:35,419 --> 01:20:40,574
She is desperate to reach
that outstretched arm of Rhea Ripley.

1245
01:20:40,607 --> 01:20:46,746
And perhaps with the DDT
there's an opportunity to do just that.

1246
01:20:46,780 --> 01:20:50,217
[Barrett] This place is about
to come unglued!

1247
01:20:50,250 --> 01:20:52,135
-[Tessitore] Here she is!
-[crowd cheers]

1248
01:20:53,754 --> 01:20:55,121
Rhea Ripley!

1249
01:20:59,526 --> 01:21:02,262
Roxanne and Giulia are finding out.

1250
01:21:03,096 --> 01:21:07,034
Fallaway slam,
she tossed her halfway across the ring.

1251
01:21:07,067 --> 01:21:13,040
[Barrett] The most dominant woman
in WWE history,

1252
01:21:13,072 --> 01:21:15,759
living up to her reputation.

1253
01:21:15,791 --> 01:21:19,029
-Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
-[crowd chanting] Mami, Mami, Mami!

1254
01:21:25,519 --> 01:21:27,554
-Brilliant technique,
-[Tessitore] And look at Rhea Ripley

1255
01:21:27,588 --> 01:21:31,959
give Roxanne that look and say,
"Not now, not here."

1256
01:21:31,992 --> 01:21:36,547
[Barrett] Technique simply doesn't work
against someone as powerful as Mami.

1257
01:21:39,049 --> 01:21:40,317
[Tessitore] Razor's Edge.

1258
01:21:41,585 --> 01:21:43,269
And coming in strong.

1259
01:21:44,554 --> 01:21:46,306
Looking to close it out.

1260
01:21:46,340 --> 01:21:48,075
And Naomi breaks it up.

1261
01:21:48,108 --> 01:21:49,710
[Barrett] I mean,
you're looking for the winner,

1262
01:21:49,742 --> 01:21:52,896
you wanna be the one who scores
the pin for your team.

1263
01:21:52,929 --> 01:21:58,050
Build that momentum, put the fear
into tomorrow night's opponents. Wait up!

1264
01:21:58,085 --> 01:22:00,187
-[Tessitore] Alexa Bliss.
-[crowd cheers]

1265
01:22:01,588 --> 01:22:05,092
Sister Abigail DDT on Giulia!

1266
01:22:06,210 --> 01:22:07,928
[Barrett] Keep your eyes peeled,

1267
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:12,132
there are too many fresh women waiting
to take you down.

1268
01:22:15,168 --> 01:22:21,325
[Tessitore] She was looking for Riptide,
but instead countered by Roxanne Perez.

1269
01:22:21,358 --> 01:22:25,913
[Barrett] Perez is so, so resourceful,
just like that.

1270
01:22:25,946 --> 01:22:29,483
It seemed like it was gonna be game over
for Roxanne.

1271
01:22:29,516 --> 01:22:31,802
Pulled something out of the bag

1272
01:22:31,835 --> 01:22:35,589
and it's dropped even
the great Rhea "Bloody" Ripley.

1273
01:22:36,990 --> 01:22:40,744
[Tessitore] Those vacant eyes
as Rhea tries to gather herself.

1274
01:22:41,862 --> 01:22:43,130
Both women down,

1275
01:22:43,630 --> 01:22:48,602
as this sold out Dignity Health Arena
in Bakersfield

1276
01:22:48,635 --> 01:22:50,954
-is chanting "This is awesome."
-[crowd chanting] This is awesome.

1277
01:22:50,987 --> 01:22:53,257
And if you think it is here tonight,

1278
01:22:53,290 --> 01:22:54,691
wait until Money in the Bank

1279
01:22:54,724 --> 01:22:56,960
and the ladder match between these six.

1280
01:22:56,994 --> 01:22:59,446
[Barrett] You put these six in a ring
at the same time,

1281
01:22:59,478 --> 01:23:02,215
there's only one conclusion possible.

1282
01:23:02,249 --> 01:23:04,151
-[Tessitore] Whoa!
-[Barrett] And that also way off.

1283
01:23:04,184 --> 01:23:05,952
[Tessitore] Naomi wouldn't accept the tag!

1284
01:23:07,087 --> 01:23:09,438
Roxanne Perez is in trouble,

1285
01:23:09,473 --> 01:23:11,708
and Naomi said that's your problem.

1286
01:23:12,943 --> 01:23:14,494
And now, Bliss.

1287
01:23:15,262 --> 01:23:19,499
-And Vaquer, and Rhea!
-[Barrett] Roxanne left to the wolves!

1288
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:21,568
[Tessitore] Riptide!

1289
01:23:22,186 --> 01:23:23,187
[crowd] One!

1290
01:23:23,219 --> 01:23:24,955
-Two, three!
-[Tessitore] Naomi left her alone,

1291
01:23:24,987 --> 01:23:26,507
-and that's the result.
-[bell rings]

1292
01:23:29,092 --> 01:23:31,460
[Nash] Here are your winners!

1293
01:23:32,029 --> 01:23:34,748
Stephanie Vaquer!

1294
01:23:34,781 --> 01:23:37,334
Alexa Bliss!

1295
01:23:37,367 --> 01:23:41,004
And Rhea Ripley!

1296
01:23:41,038 --> 01:23:42,438
[crowd cheers]

1297
01:23:42,472 --> 01:23:44,324
[Tessitore]
Thinking ahead to Money in the Bank,

1298
01:23:44,358 --> 01:23:46,693
Naomi abandons her, Wade.

1299
01:23:46,727 --> 01:23:49,096
[Barrett]
Small move by Naomi, if you ask me.

1300
01:23:49,129 --> 01:23:50,496
Couldn't tag in.

1301
01:23:50,531 --> 01:23:54,017
Naomi opted to not put herself in danger.

1302
01:23:54,050 --> 01:23:58,355
Let one of your opponents tomorrow night
take all the abuse,

1303
01:23:58,388 --> 01:24:00,123
get her softened up.

1304
01:24:00,807 --> 01:24:03,309
-Mami gets the victory.
-[crowd] One, two, three.

1305
01:24:03,343 --> 01:24:07,748
There is no honor among
Money in the Bank participants.

1306
01:24:08,315 --> 01:24:09,483
Not tonight.

1307
01:24:09,516 --> 01:24:12,018
And certainly not tomorrow night.

1308
01:24:19,726 --> 01:24:23,630
[Tessitore] What a show they put on
here tonight on SmackDown.

1309
01:24:23,664 --> 01:24:25,315
Tomorrow's gonna be special.

1310
01:24:26,148 --> 01:24:29,436
As they look up and see the briefcase.

1311
01:24:29,469 --> 01:24:31,221
That is what they are going after.

1312
01:24:31,255 --> 01:24:32,973
[Barrett] Well, teammates moments ago,

1313
01:24:33,005 --> 01:24:36,593
these three now eyeing each other warily.

1314
01:24:36,626 --> 01:24:38,262
The game has changed.

1315
01:24:39,446 --> 01:24:40,731
[Tessitore] Still to come tonight.

1316
01:24:42,299 --> 01:24:43,666
Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso,

1317
01:24:43,700 --> 01:24:46,420
or as the undisputed champ
called them last week,

1318
01:24:46,452 --> 01:24:48,455
John Cena wannabes.

1319
01:24:48,487 --> 01:24:51,090
The American Nightmare,
the World Heavyweight Champ,

1320
01:24:51,124 --> 01:24:52,960
face-to-face with Cena and Logan Paul.

1321
01:24:52,992 --> 01:24:56,513
The final words before they meet up
at Money in the Bank.

1322
01:24:57,014 --> 01:24:58,215
That is coming up.

1323
01:25:06,290 --> 01:25:08,959
On that ladder and Money in the Bank,
grab that briefcase.

1324
01:25:08,992 --> 01:25:11,128
As long as I got you and Jacob--

1325
01:25:11,161 --> 01:25:12,161
Brother,

1326
01:25:12,696 --> 01:25:14,731
you really trust Jacob
after what he did tonight, man?

1327
01:25:15,782 --> 01:25:17,483
It's okay. Don't worry about him.

1328
01:25:17,985 --> 01:25:19,753
As long as he follows my lead,

1329
01:25:19,786 --> 01:25:22,072
-everything will be okay.
-[groans]

1330
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:24,308
Will he follow you though?

1331
01:25:25,157 --> 01:25:27,561
JC, my man, you worry too much.

1332
01:25:27,594 --> 01:25:30,597
Listen, I brought Jacob here, okay?

1333
01:25:31,498 --> 01:25:33,534
-He loves me. He does.
-[scoffs]

1334
01:25:34,067 --> 01:25:35,701
And by the way, one thing about Jacob…

1335
01:25:37,321 --> 01:25:39,273
He's not all the way
that smart in the head.

1336
01:25:41,441 --> 01:25:42,826
All right?

1337
01:25:42,860 --> 01:25:44,911
All this man does
is just think about himself.

1338
01:25:45,779 --> 01:25:47,697
He is literally all gas.

1339
01:25:48,549 --> 01:25:49,849
And no brains. [laughs]

1340
01:25:52,052 --> 01:25:53,053
Okay?

1341
01:25:53,554 --> 01:25:54,655
I got it under control.

1342
01:25:55,371 --> 01:25:57,157
Let's go handle business tomorrow.

1343
01:25:57,191 --> 01:25:58,192
-All right?
-All right.

1344
01:26:02,612 --> 01:26:03,981
[crowd clamors]

1345
01:26:19,246 --> 01:26:22,965
[Tessitore] Red half crowd here at a sold
out Dignity Health Arena in Bakersfield.

1346
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:24,251
Sign of the night, Wade.

1347
01:26:24,284 --> 01:26:27,371
[Barrett] Cody Rhodes
will be up later on tonight,

1348
01:26:27,404 --> 01:26:29,923
face-to-face with John Cena.

1349
01:26:29,956 --> 01:26:31,325
I love Solo.

1350
01:26:31,358 --> 01:26:34,344
I don't know if Jacob Fatu
feels the same way.

1351
01:26:34,378 --> 01:26:37,831
All gas, no brains. Rather you than me.

1352
01:26:37,865 --> 01:26:40,517
Yeet, Jey Uso likely to be…

1353
01:26:49,675 --> 01:26:52,362
Grief is not linear.

1354
01:26:54,431 --> 01:26:55,766
It is not healed…

1355
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:58,001
by time.

1356
01:26:59,268 --> 01:27:01,205
It is a festering wound…

1357
01:27:02,773 --> 01:27:05,692
that is continually being ripped open

1358
01:27:07,477 --> 01:27:10,163
by an echo of a presence that is no more.

1359
01:27:11,898 --> 01:27:12,900
You don't forget.

1360
01:27:14,201 --> 01:27:15,719
You can only accept

1361
01:27:16,553 --> 01:27:19,540
that which cannot be changed.

1362
01:27:21,892 --> 01:27:25,612
I've watched the tag team division.

1363
01:27:28,699 --> 01:27:29,950
The loyalty.

1364
01:27:31,718 --> 01:27:32,803
The trust.

1365
01:27:35,621 --> 01:27:36,956
The Brotherhood.

1366
01:27:39,343 --> 01:27:41,562
But is that bond unbreakable?

1367
01:27:43,746 --> 01:27:47,534
From our loss, we have become a family.

1368
01:27:49,503 --> 01:27:52,606
A ship unshaken by the storm.

1369
01:27:53,824 --> 01:27:54,974
And yet again.

1370
01:27:56,108 --> 01:27:57,544
They wanted to forget about us,

1371
01:27:57,577 --> 01:27:58,946
…to forget about us.

1372
01:27:58,978 --> 01:28:00,681
Like we were never even here.

1373
01:28:00,714 --> 01:28:02,583
Ignoring the sacrifice.

1374
01:28:03,750 --> 01:28:06,603
Dying to the flesh to become one.

1375
01:28:08,422 --> 01:28:12,608
We return, not for nostalgia.

1376
01:28:14,061 --> 01:28:15,295
Not for closure.

1377
01:28:16,746 --> 01:28:19,550
But to rip open the wound of apathy…

1378
01:28:20,617 --> 01:28:22,786
and take what we are owed.

1379
01:28:24,788 --> 01:28:26,607
Your brotherhood will be tested.

1380
01:28:27,741 --> 01:28:30,960
The time for repentance has passed.

1381
01:28:33,380 --> 01:28:35,048
Accept your condemnation.

1382
01:28:35,581 --> 01:28:37,317
Your brotherhood will be tested.

1383
01:28:37,818 --> 01:28:39,519
Accept your condemnation.

1384
01:28:40,737 --> 01:28:42,389
We will not be forgotten.

1385
01:28:54,550 --> 01:28:56,420
Well, I don't like that. That sucks.

1386
01:28:56,452 --> 01:28:59,289
Listen, as the two guys
who built this Tag Team division,

1387
01:28:59,322 --> 01:29:03,376
there is… there is no reason
for us to take the fall.

1388
01:29:03,410 --> 01:29:05,812
So, come clean. Who provoked the Wyatts?

1389
01:29:05,846 --> 01:29:07,380
-Angelo.
-Johnny.

1390
01:29:07,414 --> 01:29:10,434
Look, guys. Look,
I know we're all afraid, okay?

1391
01:29:10,467 --> 01:29:12,402
Fraxiom, you're not fine.

1392
01:29:12,436 --> 01:29:14,504
Motor City, we need those guns.

1393
01:29:14,538 --> 01:29:17,824
And DIY, you cannot do this yourselves.

1394
01:29:17,858 --> 01:29:20,544
Guys, let's forget about these
WWE Tag Team Championships

1395
01:29:20,576 --> 01:29:22,094
-just one second.
-Think about it.

1396
01:29:22,129 --> 01:29:24,565
We have a bigger problem on our hands,

1397
01:29:24,598 --> 01:29:26,532
and that's the Wyatt Sicks.

1398
01:29:26,567 --> 01:29:29,085
Look, fam, we ain't get
to where we at by being scared.

1399
01:29:29,119 --> 01:29:31,455
If the Wyatts want the smoke,
they can get it.

1400
01:29:31,487 --> 01:29:32,489
Y'all must have forgot.

1401
01:29:32,523 --> 01:29:34,625
We're the real boogeymans around here.

1402
01:29:34,657 --> 01:29:36,093
[vocalizes]

1403
01:29:36,126 --> 01:29:37,126
Yeah, nice try.

1404
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:39,196
We ain't forgetting
about those tag team titles.

1405
01:29:39,913 --> 01:29:42,516
And look, we know the Wyatts
mean business.

1406
01:29:42,549 --> 01:29:45,018
But look, they cost us our shot at the
tag team titles a couple of weeks ago.

1407
01:29:45,052 --> 01:29:46,920
And mate,
if I see Uncle Howdy one more time.

1408
01:29:46,954 --> 01:29:48,205
Hey, chill out.

1409
01:29:48,906 --> 01:29:50,107
Chill out, bro.

1410
01:29:50,139 --> 01:29:51,791
Although, now that I think about it.

1411
01:29:52,509 --> 01:29:53,509
-You're right.
-Uh-huh.

1412
01:29:53,544 --> 01:29:55,195
And we are undefeated on SmackDown.

1413
01:29:55,228 --> 01:29:58,465
So, I think we should teach
the Wyatts a lesson.

1414
01:29:58,498 --> 01:30:00,767
-See.
-That's a great idea. That's great.

1415
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:01,802
Go get them, boys.

1416
01:30:02,302 --> 01:30:05,304
That's a great idea.
You second that. How cool.

1417
01:30:05,339 --> 01:30:08,375
You know, we can't stand the three of you.
And you're gonna get what's coming to you.

1418
01:30:08,407 --> 01:30:09,793
But for right now,

1419
01:30:09,826 --> 01:30:11,862
for right now
we're gonna put that on the back burner,

1420
01:30:11,894 --> 01:30:13,864
because we want to get our hands on
the Wyatts too.

1421
01:30:13,897 --> 01:30:16,483
Yeah, let's not forget
who the veterans are around here.

1422
01:30:16,517 --> 01:30:18,501
It's us. We set the standards.

1423
01:30:18,535 --> 01:30:21,737
So, if anyone's gonna bring the fight
to the Wyatts, it's gonna be us.

1424
01:30:21,772 --> 01:30:24,407
-Hey, another great idea. Nick.
-Great idea.

1425
01:30:24,441 --> 01:30:26,326
-Go get them.
-Let the veterans take care of it.

1426
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:28,529
Nick, we think any of those three teams
would be awesome.

1427
01:30:28,562 --> 01:30:29,963
-Make a note.
-I'm sure you do.

1428
01:30:29,996 --> 01:30:31,748
-Thank you all for your input.
-You're welcome.

1429
01:30:31,782 --> 01:30:34,134
I think book it. Book it, Nick.

1430
01:30:34,166 --> 01:30:35,919
Well, one of you is gonna face them.

1431
01:30:37,337 --> 01:30:39,356
The entire division
dealing with the Wyatts.

1432
01:30:39,389 --> 01:30:43,293
Finally, the SmackDown tag division
agree on something.

1433
01:30:43,326 --> 01:30:46,780
-They are all in a fight for survival.
-They are indeed.

1434
01:30:46,813 --> 01:30:50,067
Hey, tomorrow is one of the best days
on the calendar in WWE.

1435
01:30:50,099 --> 01:30:52,669
Not just Money in the Bank,
but Worlds Collide.

1436
01:30:52,702 --> 01:30:53,769
It's going to be on YouTube,

1437
01:30:53,804 --> 01:30:57,424
and it's going to start at 3:00 p.m.
Eastern. Noon local time.

1438
01:30:57,456 --> 01:30:58,825
Coming right from LA.

1439
01:30:58,858 --> 01:31:01,128
NXT, AAA, Lucha Libre.

1440
01:31:01,161 --> 01:31:03,847
All the best
talent cross-promotion coming together.

1441
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:04,882
Spectacular event.

1442
01:31:04,915 --> 01:31:08,168
Let's go through and show you
what you're in store for.

1443
01:31:08,201 --> 01:31:09,536
Worlds Collide.

1444
01:31:11,205 --> 01:31:14,907
But it's going to get started with an
all luchador six-man tag team.

1445
01:31:14,942 --> 01:31:19,713
Legado Del Fantasma in action
against Psycho Clown, Pagano

1446
01:31:19,746 --> 01:31:22,599
and the talented El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr.

1447
01:31:23,450 --> 01:31:26,119
[Barrett]
Stephanie Vaquer, we saw her moments ago.

1448
01:31:26,152 --> 01:31:30,057
She will be teaming up alongside
NXT's Lola Vice,

1449
01:31:30,090 --> 01:31:33,826
to take on AAA's Chik Tormenta and Dalys

1450
01:31:33,861 --> 01:31:36,179
in tag action at Worlds Collide.

1451
01:31:36,213 --> 01:31:38,264
[Tessitore] And then the action continues.

1452
01:31:38,298 --> 01:31:41,802
And it'll mean so much
for Dragon Lee and Cruz Del Toro.

1453
01:31:41,835 --> 01:31:45,839
As they team with Lince Dorado
who steps in for Joaquin Wilde,

1454
01:31:45,873 --> 01:31:50,393
to face Mr. Iguana Aero Star
and Octagón Jr.

1455
01:31:50,427 --> 01:31:51,911
That'll be a spectacle. Ooh!

1456
01:31:52,496 --> 01:31:56,250
[Barrett] And the NXT
North American Championship

1457
01:31:56,282 --> 01:31:57,284
will be on the line,

1458
01:31:57,317 --> 01:32:02,840
as the champ Ethan Page
defends against this trio of high flyers.

1459
01:32:02,873 --> 01:32:05,509
Rey Fénix, Je'Von Evans,

1460
01:32:05,541 --> 01:32:07,477
and AAA's Laredo Kid.

1461
01:32:07,978 --> 01:32:10,197
[Tessitore] Well, you saw the reaction
to Chad Gable,

1462
01:32:10,230 --> 01:32:12,766
from Penta and Andrade earlier.

1463
01:32:12,799 --> 01:32:15,001
And the world's collide spotlight's
going to shine

1464
01:32:15,035 --> 01:32:18,487
on the AAA Mega championship
with Chad Gable.

1465
01:32:18,522 --> 01:32:21,208
Remember, recently attacked
by Vikingo ringside.

1466
01:32:21,241 --> 01:32:24,027
And then he later kicked him
in that Money in the Bank qualifier.

1467
01:32:24,061 --> 01:32:27,998
Now, they meet for the title tomorrow.

1468
01:32:28,031 --> 01:32:31,101
Then, just on the heels of Worlds Collide…

1469
01:32:36,290 --> 01:32:38,559
it will be Money in the Bank

1470
01:32:38,592 --> 01:32:42,913
and it features the Women's
Intercontinental Championship match.

1471
01:32:42,946 --> 01:32:46,884
Lyra Valkyria, says Becky Lynch,
has made it far too personal.

1472
01:32:46,916 --> 01:32:51,605
The man says when she wins
she demands that Lyra raises Lynch's hand.

1473
01:32:51,638 --> 01:32:53,373
Intercontinental Championship tomorrow.

1474
01:32:54,174 --> 01:32:56,093
[Barrett] And Rhea "Bloody" Ripley

1475
01:32:56,125 --> 01:32:59,862
got the bragging rights moments ago
here on SmackDown.

1476
01:32:59,897 --> 01:33:02,115
Will it be déjà vu tomorrow

1477
01:33:02,148 --> 01:33:08,222
as she competes against Vaquer,
Bliss, Naomi, Perez, and Giulia

1478
01:33:08,255 --> 01:33:11,141
in the Women's Money in the Bank
ladder match?

1479
01:33:11,175 --> 01:33:14,010
[Tessitore] Now, things have gotten
real interesting tonight,

1480
01:33:14,044 --> 01:33:17,598
when you think about tomorrow's
Men's Money in the Bank ladder match.

1481
01:33:17,630 --> 01:33:19,983
Because we saw LA Knight earlier.

1482
01:33:20,517 --> 01:33:23,837
Seth Rollins and company attacked him.

1483
01:33:23,871 --> 01:33:28,775
So, tomorrow. There is the lineup
for the Men's Ladder Match.

1484
01:33:28,809 --> 01:33:31,460
With LA Knight, Penta Andrade,
Seth Rollins,

1485
01:33:31,495 --> 01:33:34,865
El Grande Americano and Solo Sikoa.

1486
01:33:35,566 --> 01:33:41,088
[Barrett] And the despicable duo
of John Cena and Logan Paul

1487
01:33:41,121 --> 01:33:44,657
on a stated claim
that they want to ruin wrestling.

1488
01:33:44,691 --> 01:33:48,478
"Not so fast", says the QB Cody Rhodes.

1489
01:33:48,512 --> 01:33:51,048
And Main Event, Jey Uso.

1490
01:33:51,081 --> 01:33:55,235
Those four collide in tag action
tomorrow night

1491
01:33:55,268 --> 01:33:58,405
at Money in the Bank, from Los Angeles.

1492
01:33:59,056 --> 01:34:02,925
[Tessitore] And they will have their final
face-off, coming up in just a little bit.

1493
01:34:03,610 --> 01:34:04,795
What a date tomorrow

1494
01:34:04,827 --> 01:34:08,081
between Worlds Collide
and Money in the Bank.

1495
01:34:09,049 --> 01:34:10,750
["Zero Miedo" playing]

[Nash] The following tag team contest
is scheduled for one fall.

Introducing first.

1500
01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:47,387
From Ecatepec, Mexico.

1501
01:34:47,420 --> 01:34:52,342
Weighing in at 87 kilos,

1502
01:34:52,375 --> 01:34:56,496
Penta!

1503
01:34:56,530 --> 01:34:59,148
[Tessitore] I wonder how
that signature strut would look

1504
01:34:59,183 --> 01:35:03,719
with a Money in the Bank briefcase
coming off that arm.

1505
01:35:03,754 --> 01:35:04,755
Penta. [chuckles]

1506
01:35:04,788 --> 01:35:07,456
[Barrett] I don't know how it would look,
but it would certainly feel pretty

1507
01:35:07,491 --> 01:35:09,375
damn good if you are Penta,

1508
01:35:09,409 --> 01:35:12,713
who has set the world ablaze in 2025.

1509
01:35:12,746 --> 01:35:14,932
And that could be his crowning moment.

1510
01:35:15,749 --> 01:35:18,134
[Tessitore] Get a signature Penta Driver
on Chad Gable

1511
01:35:18,168 --> 01:35:20,152
to make it to Money in the Bank.

1512
01:35:21,688 --> 01:35:25,342
[Barrett] I mean, the world has just gone
lucha crazy at the moment.

1513
01:35:25,375 --> 01:35:30,364
And this guy might be the one
leading the entire charge.

1514
01:35:30,397 --> 01:35:32,115
And I don't say that lightly.

1515
01:35:34,017 --> 01:35:38,839
Absolutely mind blowing
every time he's on our screens.

1516
01:35:38,871 --> 01:35:42,308
[Tessitore] Teaming up with Andrade,
to face American Made.

1517
01:35:42,342 --> 01:35:43,343
That's next.

1518
01:35:50,634 --> 01:35:52,436
["Conquistar" plays]

1519
01:35:56,822 --> 01:35:59,442
[Nash] And his tag team partner.

1520
01:35:59,476 --> 01:36:03,714
From Gómez Palacio, Durango, Mexico.

1521
01:36:03,746 --> 01:36:08,701
Weighing in at 230 pounds.

1522
01:36:08,735 --> 01:36:13,373
Andrade!

1523
01:36:14,124 --> 01:36:16,393
[Tessitore] Tomorrow's gonna be
the 3rd time in his career, Wade,

1524
01:36:16,425 --> 01:36:19,963
that Andrade will take part
in the Money in the Bank ladder match.

1525
01:36:20,681 --> 01:36:25,251
[Barrett] Yeah. And Andrade is kind of
a cross-breed type of superstar

1526
01:36:25,285 --> 01:36:27,036
when it comes to the world of lucha.

1527
01:36:27,070 --> 01:36:31,657
Possesses all of those mind-blowing
high-flying skills,

1528
01:36:31,692 --> 01:36:35,112
but also has a massive amount of power

1529
01:36:35,144 --> 01:36:39,516
that kind of, marks him
as the favorite tomorrow.

1530
01:36:41,951 --> 01:36:46,240
[Tessitore] Oh. How great is it to have
AAA's El Hijo del Vikingo here.

1531
01:36:46,273 --> 01:36:50,059
Tomorrow, the massive showdown
with Chad Gable,

1532
01:36:50,093 --> 01:36:54,581
and a very interested observer
for this tag team match.

1533
01:36:54,615 --> 01:36:56,599
Great reception for Vikingo.

1534
01:36:57,934 --> 01:36:59,452
[Barrett] While you call it great,

1535
01:36:59,486 --> 01:37:03,357
I would argue that Vikingo is here
up to no good.

1536
01:37:03,389 --> 01:37:08,562
There's absolutely no reason why Vikingo
should be showing his presence,

1537
01:37:09,196 --> 01:37:12,081
when American Made
are here to do business.

1538
01:37:15,235 --> 01:37:19,572
[Nash] And their opponents,
accompanied by Chad Gable.

1539
01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:22,860
From the Ohio Valley.

01:37:22,893 --> 01:37:27,197
With a combined weight of 495 pounds.

Brutus Creed and Julius Creed!

American Made!

1543
01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:39,927
[Tessitore] We recently saw
Brutus and Julius

1544
01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:42,596
trying to secure
the World Tag Team Championships.

1545
01:37:43,480 --> 01:37:45,449
That was on Monday Night Raw.

1546

New Day we're crafty that--

1547
01:37:47,701 --> 01:37:52,840
Oh! Wasting no time, Penta and Andrade.

1548
01:37:52,873 --> 01:37:54,374
[Barrett] I mean the bell hasn't rung.

1549
01:37:54,407 --> 01:37:57,477
You call it wasting no time.
I call it a cheap shot.

1550
01:37:58,562 --> 01:37:59,646
[Tessitore] Right to business.

1551
01:37:59,679 --> 01:38:04,351
We remember how heated things got
backstage a little earlier tonight.

1552
01:38:05,552 --> 01:38:09,590
[Barrett] The match is not started.
The bell has not rung.

1553
01:38:09,623 --> 01:38:11,692
And Joe Tess,
are you going to defend this?

01:38:14,178 --> 01:38:16,346
-Cero Miedo!
-Crowd seems to love it here, Wade.

1556
01:38:16,380 --> 01:38:18,849
-[Barrett] A bunch of sickos, that's why.
-Cero Miedo!

-Cero Miedo!

[Tessitore] We are underway.
There's the bell,

1559
01:38:23,887 --> 01:38:28,308
as Andrade looks
to get the best of Brutus early on.

1560
01:38:28,808 --> 01:38:30,826
[Barrett] But presumably,
it's Brutus that is legal.

1561
01:38:30,861 --> 01:38:36,183
Not surprisingly, an enraged Julius Creed,
looking for a little payback.

1562
01:38:36,833 --> 01:38:41,138
And things now looking bleak
right from the off for the Creed Brothers.

1563
01:38:42,623 --> 01:38:44,057
[crowd clapping rhythmically]

1564
01:38:44,090 --> 01:38:45,092
[Tessitore] Andrade.

1565
01:38:46,375 --> 01:38:48,779
Oh! And the running double knees.

1566
01:38:50,197 --> 01:38:52,182
[Barrett] I mean the Creeds
haven't had a chance!

1567
01:38:54,050 --> 01:38:57,204
They've been beaten from pillar
to post, they got jumped.

1568
01:38:58,322 --> 01:39:03,309
And unsurprisingly, Chad Gable
on the outside is absolutely irate.

1569
01:39:04,210 --> 01:39:06,580
As he tags Penta.

1570
01:39:08,514 --> 01:39:11,151
And Penta delivers right to the sternum.

1571
01:39:11,718 --> 01:39:13,670
[crowd] Whoa!

1572
01:39:14,237 --> 01:39:15,989
[Tessitore] And how about one for Brutus?

1573
01:39:17,758 --> 01:39:19,175
[crowd cheers]

1574
01:39:21,762 --> 01:39:23,463
Two of the fan favorites

1575
01:39:23,496 --> 01:39:25,699
for tomorrow's
Money in the Bank ladder match,

1576
01:39:25,732 --> 01:39:27,851
Penta and Andrade.

1577
01:39:29,486 --> 01:39:30,954
[Barrett]
It's all well and good right now.

1578
01:39:30,987 --> 01:39:34,208
We saw what happened earlier
between Roxanne Perez and Naomi

1579
01:39:34,241 --> 01:39:36,210
who were supposed to be tagging together,

1580
01:39:36,242 --> 01:39:38,911
that fell apart real quick.

1581
01:39:38,946 --> 01:39:42,683
You see, if Penta and Andrade
are capable of holding it together

1582
01:39:42,715 --> 01:39:46,969
now that the Creed Brothers
have managed to swing the momentum.

1583
01:39:47,771 --> 01:39:49,022
Maybe I spoke too soon.

1584
01:39:49,656 --> 01:39:51,325
[Tessitore]
They tried to team up on Penta,

1585
01:39:51,358 --> 01:39:55,946
but Penta looking to fight his way out of
that compromise situation in that corner.

1586
01:39:55,978 --> 01:39:58,732
[Barrett] I'm really impressed
with the durability of Penta.

1587
01:39:58,764 --> 01:39:59,766
-[crowd] Oh!
-[Tessitore] Oh!

1588
01:39:59,800 --> 01:40:04,371
[Barrett] To go with all the other
attributes that this luchador possesses.

1589
01:40:06,322 --> 01:40:09,026
[Tessitore] Big kick as he just hesitated
on the rope for just a moment.

1590
01:40:09,058 --> 01:40:11,044
So smart, by Penta.

1591
01:40:11,077 --> 01:40:15,232
[Barrett] Now this has just been
a disaster for the Creed Brothers,

1592
01:40:15,264 --> 01:40:16,416
from the word go.

1593
01:40:16,916 --> 01:40:18,684
[Tessitore] Andrade up top.

1594
01:40:19,186 --> 01:40:20,954
[Barrett] Nothing is going right
for American--

1595
01:40:20,987 --> 01:40:22,188
[Tessitore] Oh!

1596
01:40:22,222 --> 01:40:25,157
Did you just see the stepping-stone,

1597
01:40:25,192 --> 01:40:28,495
-running launching big knee from Julius?
-[Barrett laughs]

1598
01:40:28,529 --> 01:40:33,200
[Barrett] And I'll tell you right now,
that's nothing less than Andrade deserved.

1599
01:40:33,750 --> 01:40:37,905
[Tessitore] That was sensational
from Julius Creed.

1600
01:40:37,938 --> 01:40:40,040
[Barrett] I feel the need, the need…

1601
01:40:40,072 --> 01:40:41,825
-[Tessitore] His brother was out…
-…for Creed.

1602
01:40:41,858 --> 01:40:42,942
…on all fours.

1603
01:40:42,976 --> 01:40:47,764
And he just launched off of his back
to turn this match around.

1604
01:40:47,798 --> 01:40:52,236
[Barrett] And how well has master
Chad Gable got this crew trained?

1605
01:40:55,822 --> 01:41:00,344
[Tessitore] The Creeds finding a way.
Gable's loving it.

1606
01:41:00,376 --> 01:41:01,745
That's my guy!

1607
01:41:03,847 --> 01:41:07,049
[Tessitore] Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett
with you on Friday Night SmackDown.

1608
01:41:07,084 --> 01:41:10,621
Tomorrow it is Money in the Bank
at the Intuit Dome in LA.

1609
01:41:22,866 --> 01:41:25,419
[Barrett] There's been a five-minute
solid up beatdown.

1610
01:41:25,451 --> 01:41:27,286
Heading the way of Andrade.

1611
01:41:27,321 --> 01:41:29,857
[Tessitore] Oh! And here comes Penta.

1612
01:41:30,907 --> 01:41:34,094
Cross body from the heavens, that was.

1613
01:41:34,644 --> 01:41:38,130
-Penta revving the engine big time here.
-[crowd cheers]

1614
01:41:38,715 --> 01:41:40,467
[Barrett] Hitting that top gear,

1615
01:41:40,500 --> 01:41:45,772
with an astonishing series of moves,
like only he can.

1616
01:41:46,322 --> 01:41:50,677
[Tessitore] Penta and Andrade greatly
bothered by Chad Gable earlier backstage,

1617
01:41:50,710 --> 01:41:54,114
and now looking to get the best
of Gable's American Made.

1618
01:41:54,932 --> 01:41:57,217
And saving it, was Brutus.

1619
01:41:57,750 --> 01:42:00,554
[Barrett] Well, Chad Gable has had
countless problems with luchadors

1620
01:42:00,587 --> 01:42:01,889
over the past few months.

1621
01:42:01,922 --> 01:42:06,593
The Creeds, tonight, are supposed
to be punishing two of the best.

1622
01:42:06,626 --> 01:42:08,445
But it's all going south!

1623
01:42:08,478 --> 01:42:09,496
[crowd cheers]

1624
01:42:11,732 --> 01:42:13,549
[Tessitore] Oh, you can see Penta
looking over,

1625
01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:17,353
as now he's got to deal with Gable!

1626
01:42:17,387 --> 01:42:19,255
Gable's trying to rip his mask off.

1627
01:42:19,289 --> 01:42:21,124
Gable's trying to rip his mask off.

1628
01:42:21,157 --> 01:42:24,094
[Barrett] And Vikingo,
who isn't supposed to be in the match,

1629
01:42:24,126 --> 01:42:26,380
now attacking Gable once again!

1630
01:42:26,413 --> 01:42:29,566
[Tessitore]
Vikingo won't have any of that!

1631
01:42:29,599 --> 01:42:31,934
Defending the lucha honor.

1632
01:42:31,969 --> 01:42:34,955
They're gonna meet up tomorrow
on Worlds Collide

1633
01:42:34,987 --> 01:42:37,407
for AAA's mega championship.

1634
01:42:37,441 --> 01:42:38,674
Meanwhile, back in the ring…

1635
01:42:38,709 --> 01:42:40,427
The roll up, and the kick out.

1636
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:44,281
[Barrett] Gable and Vikingo
have cleared out of here.

1637
01:42:44,313 --> 01:42:47,433
Security dealing with them now.
The match continuing.

1638
01:42:47,467 --> 01:42:49,719
[Tessitore] Oh! Back elbow on Julius!

1639
01:42:49,753 --> 01:42:52,940
On Brutus,
as Julius struggles to his feet,

1640
01:42:52,973 --> 01:42:55,041
he receives a back elbow as well.

1641
01:42:56,710 --> 01:42:58,612
Mexican destroyer!

1642
01:42:59,146 --> 01:43:00,964
-Penta with the destroyer!
-One, two,

1643
01:43:00,998 --> 01:43:02,349
-three.
-And the win!

-[bell rings]
-[crowd cheers]

1645
01:43:06,837 --> 01:43:09,456
[Nash] Here are your winners.

1646
01:43:09,489 --> 01:43:14,545
Andrade and Penta!

1647
01:43:16,463 --> 01:43:19,416
[Tessitore] That was awesome by these two.

1648
01:43:19,449 --> 01:43:23,437
Tomorrow they'll be two of the six
in Money in the Bank.

1649
01:43:24,388 --> 01:43:28,558
[Barrett] Friendship gets put aside
because the price is so--

1650
01:43:28,592 --> 01:43:29,860
-["Burn It Down" playing]
-Oh!

1651
01:43:33,179 --> 01:43:35,949
[Tessitore]
Remember how the evening started.

1652
01:43:36,950 --> 01:43:41,355
With Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker,

1653
01:43:41,388 --> 01:43:44,657
and Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman.

1654
01:43:44,691 --> 01:43:46,293
And Seth declaring,

1655
01:43:46,326 --> 01:43:50,764
"I will have

1657
01:43:54,401 --> 01:43:59,121
[Barrett] Well, LA Knight
got a severe beatdown earlier tonight.

1658
01:43:59,156 --> 01:44:04,811
He of course, is in the Money in the Bank
matchup with Seth Rollins tomorrow.

1659
01:44:04,844 --> 01:44:06,679
As are these two.

1660
01:44:06,713 --> 01:44:10,133
And things suddenly go from celebration

1661
01:44:10,817 --> 01:44:14,254
to extreme concern for Andrade and Penta.

1662
01:44:15,789 --> 01:44:17,708
The wolves are circling.

1663
01:44:19,076 --> 01:44:21,428
And there may be nowhere to hide.

1664
01:44:21,460 --> 01:44:24,898
[Tessitore]
Two of Seth Rollins chief rivals…

1665
01:44:24,932 --> 01:44:29,753
for the Money in the Bank briefcase
tomorrow are surrounded.

1666
01:44:30,536 --> 01:44:32,105
And here they go!

1667
01:44:32,139 --> 01:44:36,994
Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker,
and Seth Rollins

1668
01:44:37,027 --> 01:44:40,397
trying to get the best
of Penta and Andrade, Wade.

1669
01:44:40,429 --> 01:44:42,432
[Barrett] Well, the mission is clear.

1670
01:44:42,465 --> 01:44:47,788
It's a combination of intimidation,
plus softening of the field

1671
01:44:47,821 --> 01:44:49,923
for Seth "Freakin" Rollins.

1672
01:44:49,956 --> 01:44:55,329
And Paul Heyman has had a major
master stroke

1673
01:44:55,362 --> 01:44:57,063
putting this game plan together.

1674
01:44:57,097 --> 01:44:58,599
[Tessitore] This is more
than softening up.

1675
01:44:58,632 --> 01:45:01,500
Look at Bron Breakker go,
as he spears Andrade.

1676
01:45:03,286 --> 01:45:05,789
-[Barrett] Well one thing's for sure…
-Oh!

1677
01:45:05,822 --> 01:45:08,892
-Andrade…
-[Tessitore] Senton,

1678
01:45:08,925 --> 01:45:11,260
from the 300 pound plus.

1679
01:45:11,812 --> 01:45:13,830
And a stomp attempt.

1680
01:45:17,049 --> 01:45:18,518
And one for Penta.

1681
01:45:20,003 --> 01:45:22,789
This is how he wants
to go about his business now.

1682
01:45:22,822 --> 01:45:25,392
-[crowd boos]
-[Barrett] It's about stacking the deck.

1683
01:45:25,424 --> 01:45:28,327
It's about guaranteeing victory.

1684
01:45:28,362 --> 01:45:33,116
That is how valuable the Money
in the Bank briefcase is tomorrow.

1685
01:45:34,835 --> 01:45:37,987
And Seth "Freakin" Rollins
is taking no risk.

1686
01:45:38,021 --> 01:45:40,273
-Look what's happening, Joe. Yes!
-[Tessitore] Oh, no.

1687
01:45:40,307 --> 01:45:42,291
-[Barrett] Yes!
-[Tessitore] No! No, Wade!

1690

1692

1693
01:45:57,758 --> 01:46:00,960
But the damage has been done
to Penta and Andrade.

what this industry was becoming.

at WrestleMania.

And it happened.

1709
01:46:58,936 --> 01:47:01,255
Seth Rollins told you

1710
01:47:01,288 --> 01:47:06,259
we would get Roman Reigns out of the way.

1711
01:47:06,293 --> 01:47:07,728
And we did.

1712

we would take CM Punk out of my misery.

1714
01:47:15,669 --> 01:47:17,304

becomes true?

Don't you understand

1719
01:47:28,248 --> 01:47:34,004
that Seth Rollins is the vanguard
of the future of this industry?

1720
01:47:34,036 --> 01:47:39,660
That we are the vanguards
of the destiny of WWE.

Because we all know the "Why?"

1732

The "Why?" is to solidify the power
that comes with the title.

1733

And Seth "Freakin" Rollins

01:55:36,769 --> 01:55:38,170
[chanting continues]

1828
01:55:48,031 --> 01:55:49,799
He called me, uh, desperate.

1829
01:55:49,833 --> 01:55:53,053
Which I found rather bold
coming from John Cena.

1830
01:55:53,085 --> 01:55:57,958
I mean, we all saw you dance your way
onto Kai Cenat's live stream.

1831
01:55:57,991 --> 01:56:00,393
"How do you do, fellow kids?"

1832
01:56:00,427 --> 01:56:03,197
We saw you one second kicking a man
in the nuts,

1833
01:56:03,230 --> 01:56:06,116
the next second begging
for forgiveness on X.

1834
01:56:06,148 --> 01:56:09,620
Seeing you stand in the ring
with Logan Paul in 2025,

1835
01:56:09,652 --> 01:56:12,773
is like seeing Michael Hayes
standing next to the Hardy Boyz.

1836
01:56:12,806 --> 01:56:15,392
Let's talk about desperate.

1837
01:56:17,110 --> 01:56:18,178
[crowd boos]

1838
01:56:19,947 --> 01:56:23,165
And desperate is WrestleMania 41

1839
01:56:23,200 --> 01:56:26,786
throwing away 20 years of goodwill

1840
01:56:26,820 --> 01:56:29,790
so that you can have
your record setting title.

1841
01:56:30,656 --> 01:56:32,759
Jey, tomorrow it's not about
the World Championship.

1842
01:56:32,793 --> 01:56:34,527
It's not about the WWE Championship.

1843
01:56:34,561 --> 01:56:36,396
It's a showdown!

1844
01:56:37,681 --> 01:56:38,831
What do you call that, Jey?

1845
01:56:41,902 --> 01:56:44,204
I call that a yeet-down!

1846
01:56:44,237 --> 01:56:45,938
One time for the one time.

1847
01:56:45,973 --> 01:56:48,357
-Four letters, one word.
-[crowd] One word!

1848
01:56:48,392 --> 01:56:50,928
-Uh, uh, yeet!
-Uh, uh, yeet!

1849
01:56:51,762 --> 01:56:52,763
Come on, uce.

1850
01:56:52,795 --> 01:56:54,848
["The Time Is Now" playing]

1851
01:56:54,882 --> 01:56:57,049
[crowd cheering]

1852
01:57:05,893 --> 01:57:07,744
[cheering intensifies]

1853
01:57:09,663 --> 01:57:12,299
[crowd chanting] John Cena sucks!

1854
01:57:12,331 --> 01:57:14,585
John Cena sucks!

1855
01:57:15,184 --> 01:57:17,420
John Cena sucks!

1856
01:57:18,121 --> 01:57:20,156
John Cena sucks!

1857
01:57:35,989 --> 01:57:37,340
[music continues]

1858
01:58:06,452 --> 01:58:08,605
[crowd cheering]

1859
01:58:22,219 --> 01:58:23,303

[crowd cheering]

1861
01:58:30,043 --> 01:58:32,478
[crowd] Let's go, Cena! Cena sucks!

1862
01:58:38,768 --> 01:58:41,288
Let's go, Cena! Cena sucks!

1863
01:58:41,822 --> 01:58:44,223
Let's go, Cena! Cena sucks!

1864
01:58:44,842 --> 01:58:46,777
[chanting continues]

1865
01:59:18,625 --> 01:59:20,844
Ladies and gentlemen,

1866
01:59:20,878 --> 01:59:25,531
please welcome the greatest of all time,

1867
01:59:27,201 --> 01:59:31,170
the never seen 17.

1868
01:59:32,572 --> 01:59:36,326
Gracing Bakersfield with his presence

1869
01:59:36,360 --> 01:59:39,496
one last time.

1870
01:59:40,647 --> 01:59:45,786
He is the last real champion,

1871
01:59:45,818 --> 01:59:51,674
John Cena!

1872
01:59:54,327 --> 01:59:56,045
-[Tessitore] Oh, Logan Paul!
-[Barrett] Oh!

1873
01:59:56,079 --> 01:59:59,750
[Tessitore] Big right hand
lands flush of Jey Uso.

1874
02:00:01,018 --> 02:00:04,987
Crossroads was set up
and then he gets attacked with the title.

1875
02:00:05,839 --> 02:00:07,590
And now both Jey…

1876
02:00:08,709 --> 02:00:11,161
Oh, and he's got him up
for an Attitude Adjustment.

1877
02:00:11,911 --> 02:00:13,130
Cena …

1878
02:00:14,447 --> 02:00:16,366
delivers on Uso.

1879
02:00:17,034 --> 02:00:18,418
AA!

1880
02:00:18,451 --> 02:00:22,990
[Barrett] Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes
walk straight into a trap.

1881
02:00:23,022 --> 02:00:26,393
-[Tessitore] Oh, no!
-[Barrett] The Paulverizer.

1882
02:00:27,427 --> 02:00:33,165
[Tessitore] Logan Paul came in
on the back end of that ring introduction,

1883
02:00:33,666 --> 02:00:36,085
and now he's climbing up top.

1884
02:00:37,103 --> 02:00:38,789
[Barrett] Logan Paul a little overexcited…

1885
02:00:38,822 --> 02:00:42,375
[Tessitore] Frog splash on Cody Rhodes.

1886
02:00:42,409 --> 02:00:46,230
[Barrett] Got some major height,
major impact.

1887
02:00:46,263 --> 02:00:47,697
And he's not done yet.

1888
02:00:47,731 --> 02:00:51,018
[Tessitore]
And Cena drags Uso into position.

1889
02:00:52,236 --> 02:00:53,536
[crowd cheering, booing]

1890
02:00:58,909 --> 02:01:01,894
[Barrett] They're kicking the garbage
out of the ring.

1891
02:01:03,063 --> 02:01:05,648
What a despicable duo.

1892
02:01:09,635 --> 02:01:11,405
Take a good look.

1893
02:01:13,173 --> 02:01:17,361
No one is coming to save you.

1894
02:01:19,062 --> 02:01:20,864
[crowd cheers, boos]

1895
02:01:23,799 --> 02:01:27,654
I've been telling you this
for a half of a year!

1896
02:01:31,657 --> 02:01:36,780
Your dream of what the WWE is…

1897
02:01:37,848 --> 02:01:40,150
will be ruined.

1898
02:01:42,268 --> 02:01:45,839
This is your future.

1899
02:01:47,641 --> 02:01:50,309
I take this home.

1900
02:01:51,894 --> 02:01:55,048
He takes that to the top.

1901
02:01:56,083 --> 02:01:57,651
[crowd boos]

1902
02:02:03,290 --> 02:02:07,960
The last real champion.

1903
02:02:10,547 --> 02:02:12,616
And the moment maker.

1904
02:02:13,433 --> 02:02:15,402
The one of one.

1905
02:02:16,719 --> 02:02:18,304
The inevitable…

1906
02:02:19,173 --> 02:02:23,693
future face of the WWE.

1907
02:02:25,411 --> 02:02:26,446
[crowd boos]

1908
02:02:29,333 --> 02:02:30,601
Bakersfield,

1909
02:02:31,351 --> 02:02:34,438
humble yourselves for the humblest…

1910
02:02:36,607 --> 02:02:42,629
the future World Heavyweight Champion,

1911
02:02:43,580 --> 02:02:45,732
Logan Paul!

1912
02:02:45,766 --> 02:02:47,518
[crowd boos]

1913
02:03:01,315 --> 02:03:02,648
[Tessitore] Logan Paul…

1914
02:03:02,683 --> 02:03:04,535
-[crowd] Logan sucks!
-…who came into the ring

1915
02:03:04,567 --> 02:03:08,188
with brass knuckles
to deliver that right hand.

1916
02:03:08,789 --> 02:03:09,873
[crowd] Logan sucks!

1917
02:03:09,906 --> 02:03:13,293
[Barrett] You might not like it,
but you cannot argue the effectiveness

1918
02:03:13,326 --> 02:03:15,094
and we're not done yet.

1919
02:03:15,746 --> 02:03:18,866
[Tessitore]
As Cena throws Cody into the ring,

1920
02:03:19,415 --> 02:03:23,286
and Logan goes out to grab Jey.

1921
02:03:26,940 --> 02:03:30,911
And an Attitude Adjustment on Rhodes.

1922
02:03:32,545 --> 02:03:34,164
And the damage is being done.

1923
02:03:34,882 --> 02:03:39,452
They're less than 24 hours away
from meeting up at Money in the Bank

1924
02:03:39,486 --> 02:03:41,021
in a tag team match.

1925
02:03:41,688 --> 02:03:43,339
Oh! And he does it again!

1926
02:03:43,373 --> 02:03:46,626
[Barrett]
The biggest right hand in the game.

1927
02:03:46,660 --> 02:03:49,897
You can't handle the truth.

1928
02:03:49,929 --> 02:03:51,365
[crowd cheers]

1929
02:03:55,067 --> 02:03:57,504
You want our truth?

1930
02:03:58,955 --> 02:04:03,744
Our truth is right here
staring you in the face.

1931
02:04:03,777 --> 02:04:06,679
And there's not a damn thing you,

1932
02:04:06,713 --> 02:04:10,317
or anyone who fights for you

1933
02:04:10,349 --> 02:04:12,018
can do about it.

1934
02:04:13,837 --> 02:04:15,038
[crowd boos]

1935
02:04:17,574 --> 02:04:22,446
You hypocrites chant for truth.

1936
02:04:23,697 --> 02:04:27,534
You are all pathetic liars.

1937
02:04:38,411 --> 02:04:42,799
[crowd chanting] We want truth!

1938
02:04:50,840 --> 02:04:53,376
This is why you're losers.

1939
02:04:56,346 --> 02:05:00,550
Take a good look because it's
my last time here in Bakersfield.

1940
02:05:02,236 --> 02:05:03,786
[crowd cheering]

1941
02:05:05,272 --> 02:05:07,540
And remember these words.

1942
02:05:08,458 --> 02:05:12,829
Winners write the history books.

1943
02:05:12,862 --> 02:05:16,567
Ladies and gentlemen,
your future champion,

1944
02:05:17,150 --> 02:05:21,538
and the last real champion.

1945
02:05:24,708 --> 02:05:25,776
[Tessitore] Logan Paul…

1946
02:05:26,759 --> 02:05:29,313
with Jey's World Heavyweight Championship.

1947
02:05:30,763 --> 02:05:34,401
Cena and Paul tomorrow at Money
in the Bank,

1948
02:05:34,433 --> 02:05:37,204
meeting up with the two guys
who are laid out right now.

1949
02:05:37,237 --> 02:05:38,739
Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso.

1950
02:05:41,625 --> 02:05:43,393
Tomorrow is Money in the Bank.
o are laid out right now.
