Together.

5
00:00:38,105 --> 00:00:41,507
[Cole] This is the capital
of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.

6
00:00:41,542 --> 00:00:43,510
Home to more than seven million people.

7
00:00:43,544 --> 00:00:45,928
It's the largest city in the Kingdom.

8
00:00:45,963 --> 00:00:48,899
We'll spend the next two days
in the state-of-the-art Kingdom Arena.

9
00:00:48,931 --> 00:00:53,086
It's housed international football

And ladies and gentlemen,

12
00:01:17,661 --> 00:01:21,949
in the jam-packed Kingdom Arena
in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

13
00:01:22,533 --> 00:01:26,770
WWE fans are ready
for Friday Night SmackDown.

14
00:01:29,356 --> 00:01:33,926
The WWE women's champion is here.
It's Tiffy Time.

15
00:01:33,961 --> 00:01:37,848
Tiffany Stratton defends her title
against her one-time bestie,

16
00:01:37,881 --> 00:01:40,317
the woman she took the title from,

17
00:01:40,350 --> 00:01:44,071
none other than Nia Jax,
but tonight it's last woman standing.

18
00:01:44,104 --> 00:01:49,226
Incapacitate your opponent until she can't
make it to her feet by a count of ten,

19
00:01:49,259 --> 00:01:50,761
and you'll be the champion.

20
00:01:52,262 --> 00:01:53,881
The Street Profits are here,

21
00:01:53,914 --> 00:01:57,484
but boy, oh, boy, do the champs have
their work cut out for them tonight.

22
00:01:57,518 --> 00:02:01,187

the dangerous, eerie,

Wyatt Sicks on SmackDown.

24
00:02:04,508 --> 00:02:07,961
She's the current
women's United States champion.

25
00:02:07,994 --> 00:02:12,816
Zelina Vega claims she'll do whatever it
takes to keep her first singles title,

26
00:02:12,850 --> 00:02:16,352
but upstart Guilia stands in her way.

27
00:02:17,287 --> 00:02:19,690
Guilia has targeted Vega for weeks.

28
00:02:19,722 --> 00:02:24,528
Tonight she finally gets the United States
championship shot she's been waiting for.

29
00:02:26,864 --> 00:02:29,549
Tomorrow is the finals
of the Queen of the Ring tournament

30
00:02:29,583 --> 00:02:30,584
from SmackDown.

31
00:02:30,617 --> 00:02:34,488
She's The Storm, Jade Cargill,
and she's here tonight,

32
00:02:34,521 --> 00:02:37,174
and from Monday Night Raw,
her opponent tomorrow,

33
00:02:37,207 --> 00:02:39,476
none other than the Empress of Tomorrow,

34
00:02:39,510 --> 00:02:41,111
hoping to become a queen.

35
00:02:41,144 --> 00:02:46,583

was gonna hit that big old splash,

Before I get into what it is I wanted
to talk about with you tonight, Cody,

116
00:09:40,447 --> 00:09:42,499
I got a question for all of you.

117
00:09:42,533 --> 00:09:46,086
Did you watch Monday Night Raw
this past Monday?

120
00:09:50,122 --> 00:09:56,295
Did you see my man Cody Rhodes
face Jey Uso in the semifinal match?

121
00:09:58,732 --> 00:10:03,120
So I don't know, I have a feeling
you all feel the same way I do

122
00:10:03,153 --> 00:10:07,524
if you and Jey Uso, yeet,

123
00:10:07,558 --> 00:10:11,011
you aren't in the running
for match of the year, come slammy time,

124
00:10:11,044 --> 00:10:13,814
then something is wrong in this world.

125
00:10:13,847 --> 00:10:15,549
Hell of a match, dude, on Raw.

00:10:16,850 --> 00:10:19,853
-It was a pleasure to watch.
-[crowd applauds]

127
00:10:22,322 --> 00:10:26,376
Now that being said,
the reason why I'm out here is because…

128
00:10:32,232 --> 00:10:35,235
[crowd chanting] Cody, Cody Rhodes!

129
00:10:35,853 --> 00:10:38,071
The reason… the reason I'm out here

130
00:10:38,105 --> 00:10:40,473
is because I know
what you're gonna say already.

131
00:10:40,507 --> 00:10:44,911
You want this crown,
you want to be King of the Ring.

132
00:10:44,944 --> 00:10:48,598
And if it was any other
different circumstances under the sun,

133
00:10:48,632 --> 00:10:52,319
I would agree. I would want to see
that crown on your head too.

134
00:10:54,605 --> 00:10:58,025
But the circumstances aren't different.

135
00:11:00,093 --> 00:11:03,564
Well, you may want this crown,

136
00:11:03,597 --> 00:11:07,800
I need this crown.

137
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:11,588
I need to be King of the Ring.

138
00:11:13,589 --> 00:11:18,344
Not just because if I win that crown
I go on to SummerSlam,

139
00:11:18,377 --> 00:11:22,249
and I have the opportunity
to be a 15-time world champion.

140
00:11:22,281 --> 00:11:25,786
-That's all…
-[crowd cheers]

141
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:27,954
…that's all well and good.

142
00:11:29,256 --> 00:11:31,175
But another reason I want that crown,

143
00:11:31,208 --> 00:11:34,962
is because that crown stands
for redemption.

144
00:11:34,995 --> 00:11:39,516
Redemption because I was here last year,
same time, same place,

145
00:11:39,550 --> 00:11:42,151
I made it to the finals
of the King of the Ring tournament

146
00:11:42,185 --> 00:11:44,788
and I fell short to Gunther.

147
00:11:47,424 --> 00:11:49,626
And I gotta right that wrong.

148
00:11:50,661 --> 00:11:51,627
I gotta right that wrong.

149
00:11:51,661 --> 00:11:55,616
But another thing
that that crown stands for is retribution.

150
00:11:55,649 --> 00:11:58,218
Retribution against John Cena.

151
00:12:00,637 --> 00:12:05,809
Retribution because at Backlash, Cody,
in my hometown,

152
00:12:05,843 --> 00:12:08,278
John Cena embarrassed me.

153
00:12:08,312 --> 00:12:12,216
Not only in my hometown at Saint Louis
at Backlash did he embarrass me,

154
00:12:12,249 --> 00:12:16,887
he embarrassed me in front of my friends,
in my front of family.

155
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,973
My wife and kids were sitting
in the front now.

156
00:12:20,623 --> 00:12:24,411
I need to right that wrong as well.

157
00:12:30,166 --> 00:12:33,086
Now, Cody, everybody knows
how we feel about each other.

158
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,572
How much we respect each other.

159
00:12:35,606 --> 00:12:41,778
But I can't let how I feel about you
personally get in the way of this goal,

160
00:12:41,812 --> 00:12:43,630
which is why all the cards,

161
00:12:43,664 --> 00:12:46,500
I'm laying my hand out on the table
for you to see 'em, man,

162
00:12:46,533 --> 00:12:50,387
and I'm gonna tell you out of respect,
face-to-face, man-to-man,

163
00:12:51,121 --> 00:12:56,693
there is nothing,
there is no single thing that I won't do

164
00:12:57,511 --> 00:13:03,516
to make sure I leave Saudi Arabia
with that crown atop my head.

that goal is gonna come true,

00:13:29,376 --> 00:13:31,844
because tomorrow night
at Night of Champions

169
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:34,180

in WWE.

171
00:13:41,121 --> 00:13:45,175
-RKO.
-[crowd] RKO!

172
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,462
[crowd applauds]

173
00:13:54,151 --> 00:13:56,870
Randy, I have heard everyone
in this tournament

174
00:13:56,904 --> 00:13:59,923
talk about why they want
to be King of the Ring,

175
00:13:59,957 --> 00:14:02,759
and I would say that my need
to become King of the Ring

176
00:14:02,793 --> 00:14:04,810
is more justified than anyone's,

177
00:14:04,844 --> 00:14:08,682
but nobody has let me get a word in,
edgewise, lately.

178
00:14:08,714 --> 00:14:11,551
And here you are telling me,
if I heard correctly,

179
00:14:11,584 --> 00:14:15,722
that John Cena embarrassed you.

180
00:14:17,524 --> 00:14:19,075
Embarrassed you?

181
00:14:20,243 --> 00:14:25,399
Between you and John Cena,
you have 30 World Championships.

182
00:14:25,432 --> 00:14:30,270
Embarrassment is never a word
that I would attach to the pair.

183
00:14:33,607 --> 00:14:34,925
Randy, I…

184
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:37,978
I remember everything.

185
00:14:39,295 --> 00:14:40,646
Everything.

186
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,501
I remember my very first night
in this company on Monday Night Raw.

187
00:14:44,535 --> 00:14:45,551
You know what happened?

188
00:14:46,286 --> 00:14:48,421
You slapped my dad across the face.

189
00:14:50,290 --> 00:14:52,259
I remember the bad. Sure, sure.

190
00:14:52,291 --> 00:14:53,660
But I remember the good.

191
00:14:54,361 --> 00:14:57,197
Just a few months ago,
standing in this ring,

192
00:14:57,231 --> 00:15:03,670
hearing everything that a student
could ever want to hear from his teacher.

193
00:15:03,704 --> 00:15:07,107
I am so grateful for you, Randy Orton.

194
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:10,142
I am so thankful for you, Randy Orton.

195
00:15:10,176 --> 00:15:11,828
[crowd applauds]

196
00:15:16,750 --> 00:15:22,539
I know… I know that
you think you need to win this.

197
00:15:23,623 --> 00:15:29,161
But I'm telling you, no matter
it be John Cena or CM Punk…

198
00:15:29,195 --> 00:15:31,180
[crowd boos]

199
00:15:34,434 --> 00:15:37,103
…Randy, I need it just a little bit more.

200
00:15:41,058 --> 00:15:44,428
Tomorrow night,
when it's all said and done,

201
00:15:44,461 --> 00:15:49,433
RKO will still be the three
most dangerous letters

202
00:15:49,466 --> 00:15:51,485
in all of WWE.

203
00:15:51,517 --> 00:15:52,669
But, Randy…

204
00:15:55,055 --> 00:15:58,442
[crowd chants] RKO! RKO! RKO! RKO!

205
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:11,505
Randy, you won't be King of the Ring

206
00:16:12,990 --> 00:16:14,724
because I will.

207
00:16:15,409 --> 00:16:17,426
[crowd cheers]

208
00:16:18,295 --> 00:16:21,031
Ladies and gentlemen,
we apologize for the last 30 minutes.

209
00:16:21,064 --> 00:16:23,834
Technical difficulties here in Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia,

210
00:16:23,867 --> 00:16:26,752
but we are about to get going
with the rest of the show.

211
00:16:26,786 --> 00:16:29,473
And I also apologize
that the first face you had to see

212
00:16:29,506 --> 00:16:31,959
when we came back on was this man,
Wade Barrett.

213
00:16:31,992 --> 00:16:35,646
Oh! Well, this never happens
when Joe Tess is sat there, by the way.

214
00:16:35,679 --> 00:16:38,314
Bring back Joe Tess ASAP.

215
00:16:44,771 --> 00:16:46,957
JC. Ayo, JC. JC.

216
00:16:48,992 --> 00:16:54,631
Tonight, let's give Jimmy one more
opportunity to come back to the family.

217
00:16:54,665 --> 00:16:57,401
Okay? Since he's all alone, all right?

218
00:16:58,068 --> 00:17:03,857
Go out there and remind him what it's
like to have nobody, to have no backup.

219
00:17:04,858 --> 00:17:07,728
Okay? Take care of Jimmy.

220
00:17:08,645 --> 00:17:11,882
And tomorrow night,
I'm gonna take care of Jacob.

221
00:17:13,282 --> 00:17:14,635
Time to take out the Wolf.

222
00:17:15,769 --> 00:17:19,673
After this weekend, everyone will see

223
00:17:20,557 --> 00:17:24,544
that we are just getting started.

224
00:17:26,012 --> 00:17:27,848
All right? Let's go, baby.

225
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,816
["Born A King" plays]

226
00:17:34,004 --> 00:17:37,991
[Cole] And Jimmy Uso indeed goes it alone.

227
00:17:45,282 --> 00:17:48,601
[Nash] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

228
00:17:49,136 --> 00:17:53,774
Introducing first,
from San Francisco, California,

229
00:17:53,807 --> 00:17:57,761
weighing in at 251 pounds,

230
00:17:57,793 --> 00:18:03,700
Jimmy Uso!

231
00:18:04,835 --> 00:18:08,205
[Cole] Big Jim's got his work cut
out for him tonight, Wade.

232
00:18:08,238 --> 00:18:09,656
[Barrett] Yes, he does.

233
00:18:09,690 --> 00:18:13,342
JC Mateo is a massive, massive problem,

234
00:18:13,377 --> 00:18:19,466
and he's out tonight to teach Big Jim
a lesson in how it feels to be alone.

235
00:18:22,502 --> 00:18:26,572
[Cole] "Keep your nose
out of our business," says Solo Sikoa.

236
00:18:26,607 --> 00:18:30,344
Jimmy, JC. Next on SmackDown.

237
00:18:36,984 --> 00:18:41,338
[Cole] Jimmy Uso going to battle
with a monster of his own tonight.

238
00:18:41,370 --> 00:18:43,690
[theme music plays]

239
00:18:56,787 --> 00:19:01,308
[Nash] And his opponent,
accompanied by Solo Sikoa,

240
00:19:01,908 --> 00:19:04,544
from Honolulu, Hawaii,

241
00:19:04,578 --> 00:19:08,615
weighing in at 265 pounds,

242
00:19:09,383 --> 00:19:13,253
JC Mateo!

243
00:19:13,287 --> 00:19:17,558
[Cole] Wade, you heard the warning
earlier from Solo Sikoa to Jimmy Uso,

244
00:19:17,591 --> 00:19:19,025
"Stay out of our business."

245
00:19:20,744 --> 00:19:23,496
It's going to be tough to go it alone.

246
00:19:25,148 --> 00:19:26,617
And we'll show you
what he's talking about.

247
00:19:26,649 --> 00:19:29,352
This was last week on
Friday Night SmackDown,

248
00:19:29,386 --> 00:19:31,538
the double-team by JC and Solo.

249
00:19:32,371 --> 00:19:37,411
[Barrett] Doing a number on Jacob Fatu
when Jimmy Uso hit the scene,

250
00:19:37,444 --> 00:19:40,614
made the save, albeit too briefly.

251
00:19:40,647 --> 00:19:45,385
But just as Solo and JC thought
they had stemmed the tide,

252
00:19:45,418 --> 00:19:49,889
back bounces the Samoan Werewolf,
springing to life,

253
00:19:49,923 --> 00:19:53,793
leaving Solo and Mateo
scrambling for the exits.

254
00:19:54,711 --> 00:19:57,947
And of course Solo Sikoa
tomorrow night at Night of Champions

255
00:19:57,981 --> 00:20:02,636
will take on JC-- I'm sorry.
Will take on, uh, Jacob Fatu

256
00:20:02,668 --> 00:20:04,937
for the United States Championship.

257
00:20:04,972 --> 00:20:06,506
There's JC Mateo.

258
00:20:07,407 --> 00:20:10,327
[Barrett] The powerhouse for Solo Sikoa.

259
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:13,897
[Cole] Of course, Solo, the
younger brother of that man, Jimmy Uso,

260
00:20:13,931 --> 00:20:16,399
as we get set to go
in this matchup tonight.

261
00:20:18,402 --> 00:20:19,586
The power of Mateo.

262
00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:22,840
I was gonna ask you, what is it about
JC Mateo that makes him so dangerous?

263
00:20:22,873 --> 00:20:25,091
[Barrett] Well, he's just
a bundle of muscle, isn't he?

264
00:20:25,125 --> 00:20:27,377
He's got that low center of gravity.

265
00:20:27,410 --> 00:20:30,781
He's got massive experience around
the world where he's conquered the US,

266
00:20:30,813 --> 00:20:35,219
he's conquered Japan,
and now with the guidance of Solo Sikoa,

267
00:20:35,252 --> 00:20:38,605
they're looking to conquer
the entirety of WWE.

268
00:20:38,639 --> 00:20:41,658
[Cole] Referee Charles Robinson
admonishing JC Mateo,

269
00:20:41,692 --> 00:20:44,845
who was beating down Jimmy in the corner,
but Jimmy fights back with the right hand

270
00:20:44,878 --> 00:20:46,713
and then a chop now to the chest.

271
00:20:46,746 --> 00:20:51,685
Jimmy Uso trying to pave his own way
as a singles competitor here in WWE,

272
00:20:51,717 --> 00:20:55,472
much like his brother, Jey Uso,
as Jim takes the fight to Mateo.

273
00:20:55,505 --> 00:20:57,407
[Barrett] You're right.
One half of statistically

274
00:20:57,441 --> 00:20:59,860
the greatest tag team in history.

275
00:20:59,893 --> 00:21:02,745
Looking to match that
in the singles ranks,

276
00:21:02,779 --> 00:21:09,069
but good luck against this absolute
earthmover that is JC Mateo.

277
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:11,254
[Cole] Yeah,
NEVER Openweight Champion in New Japan.

278
00:21:11,288 --> 00:21:15,626
A three-time
IWGP Tag Team Champion as well.

279
00:21:15,658 --> 00:21:19,562
JC Mateo, an Olympian from Guam in 2004.

280
00:21:19,596 --> 00:21:23,200
So not only is he a powerhouse,
he's a tremendous technical wrestler.

281
00:21:24,501 --> 00:21:26,870
[Barrett] These two competed
against each other on SmackDown

282
00:21:26,904 --> 00:21:30,674
about 3 weeks ago with
Jimmy getting the win on that occasion

283
00:21:30,706 --> 00:21:36,280
thanks to a major outside interference
that backfired from Solo.

284
00:21:36,312 --> 00:21:38,365
Hoping to fix that this evening,
of course.

285
00:21:39,550 --> 00:21:41,118
[Cole] And Jimmy Uso now and--

286
00:21:41,150 --> 00:21:42,753
[crowd boos]

287
00:21:48,774 --> 00:21:52,079
[Cole] Solo Sikoa
standing in front of Mateo.

288
00:21:56,832 --> 00:22:01,321
And Jimmy Uso taking the fight
to JC Mateo in this matchup.

289
00:22:01,355 --> 00:22:03,607
Solo Sikoa is at ringside as he prepares

290
00:22:03,639 --> 00:22:05,708
for the United States Championship match

291
00:22:05,742 --> 00:22:08,278
with Jacob Fatu tomorrow night
at Night of Champions.

292
00:22:09,111 --> 00:22:12,466
Look at the power of Mateo
just planting Jimmy Uso.

293
00:22:12,499 --> 00:22:17,620
[Barrett] Got an ability to manhandle
human beings that should be illegal.

294
00:22:17,654 --> 00:22:23,961
Absolute freak genetics as the mockery
of Big Jim Uso continues, and that offer--

295
00:22:23,994 --> 00:22:26,146
[Cole] And look at
the standing moonsault now.

296
00:22:27,231 --> 00:22:30,650
And Mateo went to the cover,
gonna hook the leg, and a kick out.

297
00:22:30,684 --> 00:22:35,956
It reminds me a lot of Tazz,
a former partner of mine

298
00:22:35,989 --> 00:22:41,477
and also a great in-ring competitor in ECW
and here in the WWE as well.

299
00:22:42,596 --> 00:22:47,266
Low center of gravity, tremendous ability
with suplexes and throws.

300
00:22:47,301 --> 00:22:50,654
A powerhouse, powder keg
as I described him before.

301
00:22:51,804 --> 00:22:53,106
[Barrett] Mateo's so well-rounded.

302
00:22:53,139 --> 00:22:55,775
He can throw in a standing moonsault
whenever he wants to.

303
00:22:55,809 --> 00:22:58,678
Really is a hybrid-level superstar

304
00:22:58,712 --> 00:23:01,915
with all the power of your
favorite powerhouses from history.

305
00:23:02,416 --> 00:23:05,402
[Cole] Jimmy Uso trying to
build some momentum here.

306
00:23:05,435 --> 00:23:06,503
Up to the top rope now.

307
00:23:06,537 --> 00:23:10,724
Jimmy with a corkscrew, taking out Mateo.
Both men down.

308
00:23:10,756 --> 00:23:15,779
[Barrett] Little Uso in the Wind there,
and now panic in the eyes of Solo Sikoa.

309
00:23:15,812 --> 00:23:18,881
Has tried time and time again
during this match

310
00:23:18,916 --> 00:23:22,852
and in the preceding weeks
to get Jimmy Uso back in the fold.

311
00:23:22,886 --> 00:23:24,187
So far, it's been a no.

312
00:23:24,221 --> 00:23:28,675
[Cole] Jam-packed crowd here tonight.
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom Arena.

313
00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:32,296
First time WWE has played
the state of the art facility

314
00:23:32,329 --> 00:23:37,533
that's hosted international soccer matches
and heavyweight boxing matches.

315
00:23:37,568 --> 00:23:40,704
Now Jimmy Uso and Mateo
kicking things off on SmackDown,

316
00:23:40,736 --> 00:23:42,155
and a big right hand by Jimmy.

317
00:23:43,439 --> 00:23:45,726
-Mateo misses wildly.
-[Barrett] No way! No!

318
00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:49,062
[Cole] Jimmy went for the Samoan Drop.
Just didn't have enough.

319
00:23:51,748 --> 00:23:55,152
And Jimmy will catch him on the ear,
and Mateo stumbles to the corner.

320
00:23:55,185 --> 00:23:59,072
[Barrett] Yeah, you're not gonna match
power for power with JC Mateo,

321
00:23:59,106 --> 00:24:02,158
but I don't care how big you are,
that kick to the temple

322
00:24:02,192 --> 00:24:03,393
is gonna drop anyone.

323
00:24:06,446 --> 00:24:08,314
[Cole] And Jimmy gonna back it up
in the corner.

324
00:24:08,348 --> 00:24:10,601
Shades of the late, great Umaga.

325
00:24:12,718 --> 00:24:17,040
[Barrett] Skull of JC Mateo
bouncing around now with every shot.

326
00:24:17,073 --> 00:24:19,226
[Cole] And that kick
drives Mateo outside the ring,

327
00:24:19,259 --> 00:24:21,110
and Solo Sikoa is not happy.

328
00:24:22,329 --> 00:24:25,232
[Barrett] Right hand man
getting dropped by his big bro.

329
00:24:25,264 --> 00:24:29,002
[Cole] Suicide dive!
The shoulder into Mateo and drops him.

330
00:24:29,035 --> 00:24:31,655
[Barrett] So much have been taken
out of Big Jim right now.

331
00:24:31,687 --> 00:24:35,759
That man is in pain,
but he's got the advantage here,

332
00:24:35,792 --> 00:24:36,960
needs to make it count,

333
00:24:36,994 --> 00:24:40,447
but that is a big frame
to try and throw back in the ring.

334
00:24:44,067 --> 00:24:47,420
[Cole] And as Solo Sikoa
grabbing the leg of Jimmy Uso,

335
00:24:47,454 --> 00:24:49,406
the official was dealing with Mateo.

336
00:24:51,841 --> 00:24:55,279
As Jimmy was looking to go up top
perhaps for the Uso Splash.

337
00:24:56,495 --> 00:25:00,833
And that momentary distraction by Solo
allowed Mateo to make it to his feet.

338
00:25:01,368 --> 00:25:05,272
Jimmy's got roll through now,
and JC Mateo, look at this.

339
00:25:06,306 --> 00:25:08,475
Good night, Jimmy! Cover!

340
00:25:09,393 --> 00:25:13,413
Off the Tour of the Islands,
JC Mateo with the win.

[theme music playing]

342
00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:18,452
[Nash] Here is your winner,

343
00:25:18,485 --> 00:25:23,490
JC Mateo!

344
00:25:23,524 --> 00:25:27,711
[Barrett] What a pivotal distraction
from Solo Sikoa it was.

345
00:25:27,744 --> 00:25:34,083
One window, and JC Mateo
capitalizes with a Tour of the Islands,

346
00:25:34,117 --> 00:25:39,139
one of the most devastating moves
we've seen on SmackDown in some time.

347
00:25:39,173 --> 00:25:44,794
And Solo Sikoa
and his now one-man army next to him

348
00:25:44,828 --> 00:25:46,730
get the job done tonight.

349
00:26:01,261 --> 00:26:03,647
Ready? Are you done?

350
00:26:04,081 --> 00:26:05,264
Ready to come back?

351
00:26:06,133 --> 00:26:09,186
You, me, together. As one.

352
00:26:11,754 --> 00:26:12,822
All right?

353
00:26:13,206 --> 00:26:16,076
[crowd boos]

354
00:26:22,783 --> 00:26:25,519
[Cole] An offer Jimmy couldn't refuse,

355
00:26:25,552 --> 00:26:28,989
and from behind,
JC Mateo attacking Jimmy Uso.

356
00:26:29,022 --> 00:26:33,076
Wade, Solo offering Jimmy an opportunity
to come back into the fold,

357
00:26:33,110 --> 00:26:34,928
and Jimmy said, "Hell no."

358
00:26:34,962 --> 00:26:36,964
[Barrett] Well,
here's what you could have won.

359
00:26:36,996 --> 00:26:41,018
You could be part of this,
beating the hell out of fools like we--

-["Samoan Destroyer" plays]

361
00:26:42,718 --> 00:26:43,754
[Barrett] Hold on.

362
00:26:45,789 --> 00:26:47,274
[Cole] Little déjà vu.

363
00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:52,779
This time it's Jacob Fatu
coming to Jimmy Uso's aid.

364
00:26:52,812 --> 00:26:56,617
The United States Champion
goes right after JC Mateo.

365
00:26:56,649 --> 00:26:59,820
[Barrett] Perhaps repaying
the favor to Big Jim from last week.

366
00:26:59,852 --> 00:27:01,138
[Cole] Pop-up Samoan!

367
00:27:02,622 --> 00:27:04,091
And now staring off with the man

368
00:27:04,124 --> 00:27:08,011
he defends the United States
Championship against tomorrow night.

369
00:27:08,044 --> 00:27:10,797
[crowd chants] Fatu! Fatu! Fatu!

370
00:27:10,831 --> 00:27:14,601
A man who used to say,
"I love you, Solo," as his enforcer,

371
00:27:14,635 --> 00:27:20,424
and now bitter enemies as Solo Sikoa
decides to wait till tomorrow night.

372
00:27:21,425 --> 00:27:24,211
[Barrett] Without the numbers game,
it ain't so easy, is it?

373
00:27:24,244 --> 00:27:30,333
Especially against the Samoan Werewolf
with bloodlust in his eyes.

374
00:27:37,341 --> 00:27:41,828
[Cole] And Jacob Fatu
with a massive moonsault to Mateo!

375
00:27:43,597 --> 00:27:45,866
[Barrett] See you tomorrow night, Solo.

376

[crowd chanting]

377
00:28:06,669 --> 00:28:11,324
[Cole] And now Jimmy Uso
shoving Solo out of harm's way

378
00:28:11,358 --> 00:28:12,976
to deliver a kick.

379
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,830
Jimmy Uso shoving Jacob Fatu
out of harm's way

380
00:28:16,864 --> 00:28:19,483
to deliver a kick to Solo Sikoa.

381
00:28:22,186 --> 00:28:26,240
[Barrett] Fatu and Jim have had
major issues over recent months,

382
00:28:26,273 --> 00:28:27,774
but they are cousins.

383
00:28:28,375 --> 00:28:30,726
Perhaps one good turn deserved another.

384
00:28:32,745 --> 00:28:37,451
[Cole] Tomorrow night, Fatu, Solo,
for the United States Championship.

385
00:28:40,904 --> 00:28:45,108
Okay, the Wyatts win the tag team titles
would mean the end

386
00:28:45,141 --> 00:28:46,693
of the division we built.

387
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:51,764
As the leaders of this tag team division,
we cannot allow all the hard work

Guys, look, I know we haven't been
the easiest to deal with.

391
00:28:58,504 --> 00:29:00,624
We can talk about that later.
We'll talk about it later.

392
00:29:00,657 --> 00:29:03,843
Tonight is about the survival
of the tag team divisions.

-Our tag team--
-[clamoring]

394
00:29:08,182 --> 00:29:11,518
Look. Look, guys,
if the Wyatts win tonight,

395
00:29:11,552 --> 00:29:13,803
then none of you, not one,

396
00:29:13,837 --> 00:29:18,442
has a chance at winning those tag team
titles for the foreseeable future.

397
00:29:18,475 --> 00:29:20,910
I can hear you all the way down the hall.

398
00:29:20,944 --> 00:29:22,545
What are you talking about?
What is going on?

399
00:29:22,579 --> 00:29:26,166
We are trying to motivate
this whole tag team division

400
00:29:26,199 --> 00:29:30,187
to come together and fight
against the Wyatt sicks

401
00:29:30,220 --> 00:29:33,040
because apparently
we are the only ones who give a damn

402
00:29:33,072 --> 00:29:34,124
about this division.

403
00:29:34,157 --> 00:29:37,878
Because, sir, you do not!

404
00:29:37,910 --> 00:29:40,664
Nick, why would you give the Wyatts
a tag team title shot?

405
00:29:40,697 --> 00:29:43,567
-They're running crazy.
-[clamoring]

406
00:29:48,322 --> 00:29:51,725
You want me to do something about it?
You're right. I will do something.

407
00:29:51,757 --> 00:29:52,860
In fact, hey…

408
00:29:52,893 --> 00:29:55,411
What do you got? Cook something up, okay?

409
00:29:59,066 --> 00:30:02,970
How would you like to find
a tag team partner for tonight

410
00:30:03,003 --> 00:30:05,138
and have a tag team match against DIY?

411
00:30:05,172 --> 00:30:07,724
-No, no, no! Bad idea!
-What? Why against us?

412
00:30:07,757 --> 00:30:09,359
-What are you doing?
-Bad idea!

413
00:30:12,379 --> 00:30:14,130
-I'll see you tonight.
-Shut up.

00:30:14,164 --> 00:30:15,899
[clamoring continues]

415
00:30:16,516 --> 00:30:18,051
That's not what we're doing here!

416
00:30:18,084 --> 00:30:20,187
-Candice isn't even here!
-Candice isn't here!

417
00:30:24,073 --> 00:30:25,309
Zelina…

418
00:30:25,341 --> 00:30:29,228
We've been calling each other out

419
00:30:29,263 --> 00:30:34,534
as long as you've been the champion.

420
00:30:34,568 --> 00:30:39,590
You talk how hard you work.

421
00:30:39,622 --> 00:30:44,093
I don't have to do that.

422
00:30:44,127 --> 00:30:47,563
My hard work is evident.

423
00:30:47,598 --> 00:30:53,937
This championship means a lot to you.
It doesn't to me.

424
00:30:53,971 --> 00:30:59,408
To me, it's just a stepping stone.

425
00:30:59,860 --> 00:31:03,347
You act like the title belongs to you.

426
00:31:03,930 --> 00:31:06,250
I will prove it does not.

427
00:31:09,386 --> 00:31:13,506
Giulia, where I come from,
if you have a problem with somebody,

428
00:31:13,540 --> 00:31:15,274
you go to the street, and you handle it.

429
00:31:15,309 --> 00:31:17,276
But the streets
weren't made for everybody.

430
00:31:17,311 --> 00:31:18,678
That's why they made sidewalks

431
00:31:18,712 --> 00:31:21,999
for girls like you
who like to do sneak attacks.

432
00:31:22,032 --> 00:31:27,321
I have suffered and starved and sacrificed
everything for this championship.

433
00:31:27,353 --> 00:31:32,993
So if you want this, you are gonna have
to pry it from my cold dead body.

434
00:31:33,025 --> 00:31:36,797
So just like you are gonna use me
to establish your dominance here,

435
00:31:36,830 --> 00:31:38,732
I am gonna use you.

436
00:31:38,764 --> 00:31:44,053
So I am the United States Champion.

that's a king cobra outfit

that Zelina is parading to the ring in.

Michael Cole.

for many weeks now,

457
00:33:50,429 --> 00:33:55,968
this being the most important matchup
of Giulia's career in WWE to this point.

458
00:33:56,503 --> 00:33:59,438
[Barrett] Yeah, and what did she just call
the United States Championship?

459
00:33:59,473 --> 00:34:01,091
"A stepping stone?"

460
00:34:01,123 --> 00:34:05,596
That is kind of a slap in the face
to every great champion

461
00:34:05,629 --> 00:34:08,799
who has ever held the
women's United States Championship,

462
00:34:08,831 --> 00:34:10,784
or indeed the men's
United States Champion.

463
00:34:10,817 --> 00:34:12,920
But I like that. That's a cockiness.

464
00:34:12,953 --> 00:34:18,509
That's an assuredness that I'm not just
here to win one title on SmackDown.

I'm here to run this show.

The United States title
next in her sights,

468
00:34:27,884 --> 00:34:31,237
and I have no doubt after watching
this woman over the last number of years,

469
00:34:31,270 --> 00:34:34,491
Wade, that she will indeed
be a world champion

470
00:34:34,525 --> 00:34:37,543
at one point in her career here in WWE.

471
00:34:37,578 --> 00:34:40,397
[Barrett] World Champion,
United States Champion,

472
00:34:40,429 --> 00:34:42,732

00:34:42,766 --> 00:34:45,118
just keep adding
those accolades to the list.

474
00:34:45,152 --> 00:34:50,107
There are massive expectations
on the shoulders of Giullia,

475
00:34:50,139 --> 00:34:54,627
but even those aren't as big
as the expectations she puts on herself.

476
00:34:56,029 --> 00:34:57,981
Well that woman there, Zelina Vega,

477
00:34:58,015 --> 00:34:59,516
four years ago,

478
00:34:59,950 --> 00:35:04,321
won the Queen of the Ring Tournament
back in 2021.

479
00:35:04,354 --> 00:35:07,723
So this weekend,
of course means a lot to Zelina.

480
00:35:07,758 --> 00:35:10,194
Back in April of this year,

481
00:35:10,227 --> 00:35:15,915
Zelina Vega beat Chelsea Green to win
her first singles championship at WWE.

482
00:35:15,949 --> 00:35:17,518
She was so emotional that night.

483
00:35:17,551 --> 00:35:20,821
It meant so much to her, Wade,
and she's been a very proud champion

484
00:35:20,854 --> 00:35:23,991
over the past couple of months
and intends to keep going.

485
00:35:24,024 --> 00:35:26,026
She said she wants to get the summer slam.

486
00:35:26,058 --> 00:35:27,060
[Barret] Here's the interesting thing.

487
00:35:27,094 --> 00:35:29,763
For the past two months,
it has been all about the…

488
00:35:30,596 --> 00:35:34,201
-Green Regime, Chelsea Green…
-Again!

and finally Zelina seems to have…

00:35:38,538 --> 00:35:39,339
[Cole] Cover.

491
00:35:39,906 --> 00:35:43,043
[Barret] …shrugged them off
and immediately a new challe--

492
00:35:43,694 --> 00:35:45,612
-[Cole] And again--
-Just steps up.

493
00:35:45,662 --> 00:35:49,316
[Cole] Zelina Vega. Looking
for a quick win here, as is Giullia.

494
00:35:49,348 --> 00:35:52,486
Now both women exchanging kicks
and both women down

495
00:35:52,519 --> 00:35:54,504
in the early going of this matchup.

496
00:35:55,072 --> 00:35:59,343
[Barret] Both women rumbled there,
but immediately back up.

497
00:35:59,793 --> 00:36:03,514
It's the kind of motivation that
championship will give any competitor.

498
00:36:03,913 --> 00:36:05,031
Shake off the cobwebs.

499
00:36:05,065 --> 00:36:08,168
[Cole] A nice duplex by Giullia who,
in her career,

500
00:36:08,202 --> 00:36:12,038
have knocked off the likes
of Roxanne Perez and Stephanie Vaquer.

501
00:36:12,072 --> 00:36:18,462
Jordynne Grace who will now face Jacy Jane
at evolution for the NXT women's title.

502
00:36:18,495 --> 00:36:20,497
Grace winning a big matchup
this past week as…

503
00:36:21,781 --> 00:36:24,785
Zelina Vega delivers a knee to Giullia

504
00:36:24,817 --> 00:36:28,171
and now Zelina, who's very comfortable
going up top and flying, Wade.

505
00:36:28,739 --> 00:36:30,857
-[Barret] Well, Zelina is the physical…
-Oh!

506
00:36:30,891 --> 00:36:33,160
…underdog in pretty much every match.

507
00:36:33,192 --> 00:36:35,078
[Cole] Uh-oh, but Zelina
may have hurt her knee.

508
00:36:35,112 --> 00:36:37,531
Zelina Vega may have
tweaked her knee, folks.

509
00:36:37,564 --> 00:36:38,949
[crowd chanting]

510
00:36:41,735 --> 00:36:45,239
Julie now with a submission move
locked in on Zelina Vega after Zelina

511
00:36:45,272 --> 00:36:47,591
went face first in the mat and, uh,

512
00:36:47,624 --> 00:36:50,060
Giullia's been dominating
the United States champ.

513
00:36:50,093 --> 00:36:51,028
[Barret] Yes she has,

514
00:36:51,060 --> 00:36:55,115
and Zelina Vega got the sting
knocked out of her early in this one

515
00:36:55,147 --> 00:36:59,002
and really has struggled
to get a foothold in the match ever since,

516
00:36:59,036 --> 00:37:01,471
-and Giullia's done a great job of…
-[Cole] Cover again,

517
00:37:01,505 --> 00:37:04,274
for the title, kick out at two by Vega.

518
00:37:04,308 --> 00:37:07,144
We've talked about
Giullia's natural charisma.

519
00:37:07,176 --> 00:37:09,446
Talked about her being calm and confident.

520
00:37:09,930 --> 00:37:12,649
But she can brawl with the best of them,

521
00:37:12,683 --> 00:37:15,586
punishing her opponent
here tonight in Zelina Vega.

522
00:37:19,656 --> 00:37:23,926
[Barret] The smile has been wiped off the
face of Giullia somewhat at this point.

523
00:37:23,961 --> 00:37:29,415
Now getting a little frustrated with Vega,
but you know Vega is not gonna give up.

524
00:37:29,449 --> 00:37:33,554
[Cole] And again there's the resilience…
A meteora driving.

525
00:37:34,203 --> 00:37:38,475
Giullia into the steel steps
and again favoring the knee

526
00:37:38,509 --> 00:37:40,460
that Zelina tweaked
earlier on in the matchup.

527
00:37:40,493 --> 00:37:43,714
[Barret] I saw Giullia grabbing
the bottom row of teeth there

528
00:37:43,747 --> 00:37:45,766
checking they were all still there.

529
00:37:45,799 --> 00:37:51,672
Might need a recount, but now it's
all Vega, the underdog is biting back.

530
00:37:51,705 --> 00:37:53,707
[Cole] Yeah, the resilient champion
staying in the fight

531
00:37:53,740 --> 00:37:56,710
but Giullia, bringing that strong style.

532
00:37:56,743 --> 00:37:58,278
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Zelina!

533
00:38:00,764 --> 00:38:03,634
[Cole] And now Zelina Vega looking to pick
up the pace here, use her quickness,

534
00:38:03,667 --> 00:38:07,404
durability, a couple of close lines,
takes the, uh, challenger down.

535
00:38:07,888 --> 00:38:11,475
I thought she was gonna go for a Dragon
Screw, but it was a back elbow delivery.

536
00:38:11,508 --> 00:38:13,009
[Barret] Didn't quite get all of that

537
00:38:13,043 --> 00:38:16,330
and that is why Giullia's
straight back on the offense.

538
00:38:17,647 --> 00:38:20,400
Crazy maneuverability now from Vega.

539
00:38:20,433 --> 00:38:22,618
[Cole] But Giullia was going
for her finisher moments ago,

540
00:38:22,653 --> 00:38:24,488
and Zelina was able to counter.

541
00:38:25,221 --> 00:38:27,207
[Barret] Propped her up,
kneed her in the jaw,

542
00:38:27,241 --> 00:38:31,845
and now it is Giullia completely rocked
and at the mercy of the champ.

543
00:38:31,879 --> 00:38:34,248
[Cole] And Vega
with double knees to the spine.

544
00:38:36,183 --> 00:38:40,287
Zelina Vega beginning to build momentum
may have the challenger in trouble.

545
00:38:40,319 --> 00:38:45,893
Oh, meteora from Zelina again
and a kick out by Giullia at two.

546
00:38:45,926 --> 00:38:49,279
[Barret] And viva la Vega!

547
00:38:49,313 --> 00:38:52,098
How many times
have we written off this woman?

548
00:38:52,132 --> 00:38:55,536
It's like Rey Mysterio,
you mentioned it earlier, you have to

549
00:38:55,569 --> 00:38:58,372
fight from underneath, but keep fighting.

550
00:38:58,404 --> 00:39:01,091
Stay in the fight however you can,
and Vega's doing that.

551
00:39:01,124 --> 00:39:04,810
[Cole] And Giullia though, Zelina took a
bit too much time getting to the top rope,

552
00:39:04,845 --> 00:39:07,346
perhaps the knee bothering
more than she's letting on.

553
00:39:07,381 --> 00:39:11,134
[Barret] Both women hurting at this point,
this is a championship level

554
00:39:11,168 --> 00:39:15,589
match up with the gold on the line, and we
are getting a treat from these two women.

555
00:39:16,906 --> 00:39:21,060
[Cole] Oh goodness,
Giullia just got her over, just enough.

556
00:39:21,094 --> 00:39:23,547
[Barret] You saw Vega trying
to scramble out of the move,

557
00:39:23,580 --> 00:39:27,049
but Giullia just had enough power…
and wait up!

558
00:39:28,669 --> 00:39:29,670
[Cole] And Zelina…

559
00:39:31,305 --> 00:39:33,656
able to drop back behind Giullia

560
00:39:33,690 --> 00:39:37,493
and now code red delivered by Zelina
for the win, is it enough?

561
00:39:37,528 --> 00:39:41,397
And Giullia gets her feet
on the bottom rope, Wade.

562
00:39:42,348 --> 00:39:45,219
[Barret] Just that little extension.

563
00:39:45,953 --> 00:39:49,406
When Vega thought she
had this one put to bed,

564
00:39:49,439 --> 00:39:53,777
she hit her nuke right on Giullia.

565
00:39:53,810 --> 00:39:57,247
And what is it gonna take
to put this Japanese superstar away?

566
00:39:58,866 --> 00:40:04,054
[Cole] And this could be it. Moonsault,
no, Giullia moves out of harm's way.

567
00:40:04,087 --> 00:40:08,258
Zelina Vega, back up, center of the ring
running knee now by Giullia.

568
00:40:08,292 --> 00:40:11,578
[Barret] Arrivederci,
maybe the kiss of death.

569
00:40:12,296 --> 00:40:14,096
[Cole] And another knee by Giullia

570
00:40:14,131 --> 00:40:16,616
continues to torture
and punish the champion.

571
00:40:17,366 --> 00:40:20,737
-Giullia lifts her up, and Zelina is down.
-[Barret] Oh, here we go!

572
00:40:21,071 --> 00:40:26,560
Giullia with the cover. The Northern
Lights Bomb brings her the Championship!

573
00:40:29,413 --> 00:40:36,403
[announcer] Here is your winner and new
Women's United States champion,

574
00:40:37,504 --> 00:40:40,107
Giulia!

575
00:40:40,140 --> 00:40:45,011
[Cole] Giulia's biggest win
on Friday Night SmackDown

576
00:40:45,045 --> 00:40:48,382
brings her United States
championship gold.

577
00:40:51,902 --> 00:40:53,787
[Barret] While Zelina went big,

578
00:40:53,819 --> 00:40:57,207
this was after a code red
didn't quite get the job done,

579
00:40:57,241 --> 00:41:04,114
but that maneuverability of Giullia,
a couple of arrivedercies, and then this.

580
00:41:04,948 --> 00:41:10,554
The Northern Lights Bomb
just simply put all comers away.

581
00:41:10,587 --> 00:41:16,042
Since arriving at NXT a few short months
ago, it's grabbed gold there.

582
00:41:16,076 --> 00:41:19,663
And now it has grabbed gold here
on Smackdown

583
00:41:19,696 --> 00:41:23,165
in the form
of the Women's United States championship.

584
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:27,304
[Cole] Tremendous reign by Zelina Vega,
a gutsy performance here tonight,

585
00:41:27,337 --> 00:41:33,277
but in the end, Giullia is your brand new
Women's United States Champion.

586
00:41:44,337 --> 00:41:48,509
The disappointment
on the face of Zelina Vega.

587
00:41:50,093 --> 00:41:54,498
She told us on many occasions how much the
United States championship meant to her,

588
00:41:54,531 --> 00:41:58,301
but again, congratulations to Giulia,
the new United States champion.

589
00:41:58,335 --> 00:42:01,788
You really feel for anyone
who loses a championship, but with Giullia

590
00:42:01,821 --> 00:42:06,210
you do get the feeling that is a glimpse
into the future of Smackdown and beyond.

591
00:42:06,643 --> 00:42:08,779
One programming note,
Friday Night SmackDown next week,

592
00:42:08,812 --> 00:42:11,748
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
goes to two hours.

593
00:42:11,781 --> 00:42:13,734
Two hours for Friday night's smackdown.

594
00:42:13,767 --> 00:42:19,205
So, there are some strange things going on
between Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair,

595
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,143
as of late, case in point,
Charlotte was in trouble last week

596
00:42:23,176 --> 00:42:25,295
after her matchup with Chelsea Green.

597
00:42:25,328 --> 00:42:30,299
After Chelsea tapped out, here comes,
well, Chelsea Green's secret service.

598
00:42:30,334 --> 00:42:34,971
[Barret] Yeah. Big attack
but along came former friend

599
00:42:35,005 --> 00:42:41,578
Alexa Bliss to save the day,
dropping Green with this Abigail DDT.

600
00:42:41,612 --> 00:42:47,150
Now once again, however,
Charlotte seemed to have zero gratitude

601
00:42:47,183 --> 00:42:49,002
or even acknowledgement for that.

602
00:42:51,922 --> 00:42:53,924
[crowd shouting]

603
00:42:56,042 --> 00:42:57,828
Lexi, if this is about last week.

604
00:42:58,328 --> 00:42:59,596
I don't want to talk about it.

605
00:43:01,315 --> 00:43:03,183
Seems like you needed my help,
just saying.

606
00:43:04,034 --> 00:43:06,937
Lexi, I don't need friends.

607
00:43:07,837 --> 00:43:11,191
Not trying to be your friend, Charlotte,
but it wouldn't hurt for us

608
00:43:11,225 --> 00:43:12,308
to be on the same page.

609
00:43:12,792 --> 00:43:16,496
Think of it as… Allies of convenience.

610
00:43:19,216 --> 00:43:20,217
Think about it.

611
00:43:24,321 --> 00:43:27,508
[Cole] Interesting proposition.
Well, partner, you better get ready.

612
00:43:27,941 --> 00:43:31,345
I'm expecting to get some
hard hitting questions out of our

613
00:43:31,377 --> 00:43:33,797
own broadcast journalist Wade Barrett.

614
00:43:33,830 --> 00:43:39,419
He's gonna interview the queen of the Ring
finalists up next on SmackDown.

615
00:43:39,453 --> 00:43:42,756
[Barret] Show you what a real journalist
does here on SmackDown, Cole.

616
00:43:46,460 --> 00:43:47,444
King Barrett.

617
00:43:47,477 --> 00:43:52,699
Wade Barrett would go on to
win the 20th King of the Ring tournament

618
00:43:52,749 --> 00:43:54,618
with a victory over Neville.

619
00:43:55,919 --> 00:43:58,272
[referee] One, two, three!

620
00:43:58,305 --> 00:44:01,508
And with the win,
Wade Barrett would celebrate.

621
00:44:02,409 --> 00:44:04,011
As king.

622
00:44:08,065 --> 00:44:09,383
Speaking of Wade Barrett,

623
00:44:09,900 --> 00:44:12,402
Let's head up to the ring
to my broadcast colleague.

624
00:44:17,558 --> 00:44:19,710
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

625
00:44:19,743 --> 00:44:21,295
[crowd cheering]

626
00:44:21,328 --> 00:44:25,832
It is an entire weekend of champions here

627
00:44:26,250 --> 00:44:32,221
and my guests this evening
will not only be competing for this

628
00:44:32,256 --> 00:44:38,178
rather dashing Queen of the Ring crown
tomorrow night at Night of Champions,

629
00:44:38,212 --> 00:44:43,450
they will also be battling
for an opportunity to compete against

630
00:44:43,482 --> 00:44:47,321
their brand's world champion
at SummerSlam.

631
00:44:47,971 --> 00:44:51,825
So. Without further ado, please welcome

632
00:44:51,859 --> 00:44:56,997
my first guest, the Storm, Jade Cargill.

633
00:45:07,591 --> 00:45:11,995
[Gargill] A storm… [laughs] …is coming.

634
00:45:38,004 --> 00:45:40,307
[Cole] You know,
the sensational Jade Cargill

635
00:45:40,339 --> 00:45:42,893
has never had an opportunity
in her WWE career

636
00:45:42,942 --> 00:45:45,127
to battle for a singles championship.

637
00:45:45,162 --> 00:45:49,799
Well, she could get that opportunity
if she wins Queen of the Ring.

638
00:45:49,833 --> 00:45:52,618
This past Monday night on Smack…
on Monday Night Raw,

639
00:45:52,653 --> 00:45:54,571
it was of course the semi-finals.

640
00:45:54,605 --> 00:45:56,723
Roxanne Perez, Jade Cargill.

641
00:45:56,757 --> 00:46:00,243
Roxanne went for pop rocks,
but instead, Jade Cargill.

642
00:46:01,178 --> 00:46:03,629
It overpower Perez delivered jaded.

643
00:46:03,663 --> 00:46:05,999
[crowd] One, two, three! [cheers]

644
00:46:06,033 --> 00:46:11,020
And advance in the finals
of the Queen of the Ring tournament.

645
00:46:28,138 --> 00:46:32,625
Jade Cargill, the powerhouse
who was taken WWE by storm.

646
00:46:41,167 --> 00:46:42,219
[no audible dialogue]

647
00:46:42,252 --> 00:46:43,871
[crowd chanting] Asuka!

648
00:46:43,904 --> 00:46:49,092
And her opponent tomorrow night in the
final of the Queen of the Ring tournament,

649
00:46:49,509 --> 00:46:53,830
the Empress of tomorrow, Asuka.

650
00:46:53,864 --> 00:46:55,866
[crowd cheering]

651
00:46:55,899 --> 00:46:57,901
["The Future" playing]

652
00:47:19,673 --> 00:47:24,493
The empress of tomorrow,
who would like to become a queen.

653
00:47:24,528 --> 00:47:27,830
Well, an opportunity for Asuka
to do just that.

654
00:47:27,865 --> 00:47:31,234
Last Friday night
on SmackDown, semifinal matchup.

655
00:47:31,268 --> 00:47:35,055
Asuka versus Alexa Bliss,
and what a competitive matchup it was.

656
00:47:35,087 --> 00:47:38,775
For moments we thought Alexa Bliss
was gonna advance

657
00:47:38,808 --> 00:47:40,344
as she went for Twisted Bliss,

658
00:47:40,377 --> 00:47:45,781
but Asuka would get her knees up,
and the efforts of tomorrow would connect.

659
00:47:51,455 --> 00:47:57,211
Asuka with the Empress impact knocks off
Alexa Bliss and it's Asuka and Cargill,

660
00:47:57,661 --> 00:48:00,297
Queen of the Ring tomorrow night
at Night of Champions.

661
00:48:17,731 --> 00:48:19,732
[crowd chanting]

662
00:48:27,140 --> 00:48:31,962
Ladies, thank you both for joining me.
Jade, I would like to start with you.

663
00:48:32,828 --> 00:48:36,700
What makes you so confident
that you are going to defeat Askar

664
00:48:36,732 --> 00:48:40,420
tomorrow in the Queen of the Ring final
at Night of Champions?

665
00:48:42,154 --> 00:48:47,426
You know what way,
when people see Asuka, they get nervous.

666
00:48:49,078 --> 00:48:50,297
Me?

667
00:48:50,330 --> 00:48:55,118
I see an opportunity to show you all
exactly why I came here.

668
00:48:55,152 --> 00:48:56,336
[crowd jeering]

669
00:48:56,370 --> 00:48:59,540
You see, I have purpose.

670
00:49:01,008 --> 00:49:05,662
This is not pressure,
it's purpose and that summer slam…

671
00:49:06,180 --> 00:49:09,132
I don't plan on just taking the title.

672
00:49:09,165 --> 00:49:13,921
I plan on taking the whole damn throne.

673
00:49:21,211 --> 00:49:22,529
[crowd chanting] Asuka!

674
00:49:28,085 --> 00:49:30,053
Okay, okay.

675
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,323
You're strong.

676
00:49:35,091 --> 00:49:39,830
But the power is not everything.

677
00:49:43,383 --> 00:49:47,237
I have skills and experience.

678
00:49:47,971 --> 00:49:52,792
Whoo! Do you know who I am?

679
00:49:52,826 --> 00:49:54,493
[crowd cheering]

680
00:49:55,245 --> 00:49:58,382
I'm Asuka!

681
00:50:00,984 --> 00:50:05,172
[speaks Japanese]

682
00:50:07,124 --> 00:50:13,913
Bacause no one is ready for Asuka!

683
00:50:13,946 --> 00:50:15,031
[crowd cheering]

684
00:50:16,283 --> 00:50:19,736
I promise you you're going to regret…

685
00:50:19,770 --> 00:50:21,321
[metal music playing]

686
00:50:25,125 --> 00:50:27,377
Yo, yo, you. Wake it up, wake it up.

687
00:50:33,350 --> 00:50:34,350
You see this?

688
00:50:35,969 --> 00:50:40,841
This briefcase means
that you two can fight over the crown,

689
00:50:40,874 --> 00:50:43,076
but I have all the power.

690
00:50:44,511 --> 00:50:47,865
I can do whatever I want.

691
00:50:48,632 --> 00:50:50,634
[crowd cheering]

692
00:50:51,033 --> 00:50:55,055
Maybe I'll cash in after Tiffany
and Iyo destroy each other

693
00:50:55,087 --> 00:50:56,940
in the last woman standing match.

694
00:50:58,325 --> 00:51:05,065
Or maybe I'll wait until one of you are
fighting for the championship to cash in.

695
00:51:06,366 --> 00:51:07,484
Jade.

696
00:51:08,585 --> 00:51:14,357
You hate the fact that no matter
what you do, I'm the one with the power

697
00:51:14,391 --> 00:51:16,058
to take it all away.

698
00:51:17,344 --> 00:51:22,583
Just like I took away the tag titles, just
like I took away months from your career,

699
00:51:23,232 --> 00:51:26,502
just like I took away the big 3.

700
00:51:31,158 --> 00:51:35,112
It brings me pure pleasure

701
00:51:35,712 --> 00:51:39,249
when I think about how sweet it would be

702
00:51:39,283 --> 00:51:43,687
to ruin the biggest night of your career.

703
00:51:45,489 --> 00:51:49,692
I advise you to proceed with… [screams]

704
00:51:49,725 --> 00:51:51,728
[Cole] Jade has heard… heard enough.

705
00:51:51,761 --> 00:51:54,848
She blasted through Asuka.
right after Naomi.

706
00:51:56,250 --> 00:51:59,303
[Cole] And Asuka is not taking too kindly
to this, Wade.

707
00:51:59,336 --> 00:52:01,171
And Asuka now taking the fight to Cargill.

708
00:52:02,154 --> 00:52:05,107
[Barrett] Well, preview ahead
of tomorrow night.

709
00:52:05,142 --> 00:52:07,810
And Asuka getting her licks in early.

710
00:52:11,832 --> 00:52:14,084
[Cole] Tomorrow night it's about becoming
Queen of the Ring

711
00:52:14,116 --> 00:52:17,870
and earning an opportunity
at a world championship at SummerSlam,

712
00:52:17,904 --> 00:52:22,658
but, Wade,
Naomi put everyone on notice here tonight.

713
00:52:22,692 --> 00:52:25,328
[Barrett] Said it herself,
"I have the power,"

714
00:52:25,362 --> 00:52:28,999
and the power is contained
within that briefcase,

715
00:52:29,031 --> 00:52:31,134
the Money in the Bank contract.

716
00:52:32,352 --> 00:52:34,370
Every woman is on notice.

717
00:52:42,995 --> 00:52:44,531
Yeah, look,
we're definitely on the same page.

718
00:52:44,565 --> 00:52:47,033
We just need to get together
and figure out the last few details,

719
00:52:47,067 --> 00:52:48,519
but, uh, I think we're good to go.

720
00:52:48,551 --> 00:52:49,553
And I agree with you,

721
00:52:49,586 --> 00:52:52,306
but whatever we're doing about the women's
tag titles, we need to do it quickly.

722
00:52:52,339 --> 00:52:54,258
-Agreed.
-Yeah, let's put this to bed.

723
00:52:54,290 --> 00:52:55,725
-Aleister.
-Gentlemen.

724
00:52:55,759 --> 00:52:56,810
[crowd cheers]

725
00:52:59,162 --> 00:53:00,314
I want to cut right to it.

726
00:53:00,897 --> 00:53:03,517
-I wanna redo--
-I'm driving now!

727
00:53:04,484 --> 00:53:06,220
-What's up, Nick.
-[crowd cheers]

728
00:53:06,252 --> 00:53:09,772
Look… Back up. Back up, dog.

729
00:53:11,341 --> 00:53:13,410
I know you saw what happened last week.

730
00:53:13,442 --> 00:53:15,812
-I want John Cena right now.
-Truth, Truth.

731
00:53:15,846 --> 00:53:17,129
-I want John Cena.
-Okay, Truth.

732
00:53:17,163 --> 00:53:19,149
-I want my--
-Calm down.

733
00:53:19,183 --> 00:53:21,084
I am calm, Adam.

734
00:53:21,902 --> 00:53:23,953
Nick, are you gonna help me
or are you gonna be in the way?

735
00:53:23,987 --> 00:53:27,040
Truth, with all due respect,
John Cena is here,

736
00:53:27,074 --> 00:53:28,709
but he is here for CM Punk.

737
00:53:28,741 --> 00:53:31,211
He's not here for R-Truth, not tonight.

738
00:53:31,245 --> 00:53:32,562
I'm here for John Cena.

739
00:53:33,312 --> 00:53:35,616
You know what? Don't even worry about it.

740
00:53:37,567 --> 00:53:40,754
Aleister, I apologize, we're gonna get
to your stuff, I promise you that.

741
00:53:46,042 --> 00:53:49,663
-Same SmackDown, different continent, huh?
-Yeah, something like that.

742
00:53:50,129 --> 00:53:51,548
Yeah, not good.

743
00:53:51,582 --> 00:53:52,633
["It's Our Moment" plays]

744
00:53:52,665 --> 00:53:54,600
[Cole] Probably not
what Aleister wanted to hear.

745
00:54:11,801 --> 00:54:12,803
[bell rings]

746
00:54:12,836 --> 00:54:17,290
[Nash] The following tag team contest
is scheduled for one fall.

747
00:54:17,824 --> 00:54:19,225
Introducing first,

748
00:54:19,259 --> 00:54:23,462
with a combined weight of 497 pounds,

749
00:54:23,497 --> 00:54:27,267
Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano,

750
00:54:27,301 --> 00:54:30,671
DIY!

751
00:54:30,703 --> 00:54:33,507
[Cole] You know, Wade,
trying to play locker room leaders again,

752
00:54:33,540 --> 00:54:38,011
running their mouths
and DIY once again in trouble.

753
00:54:38,045 --> 00:54:41,765
[Barrett] Yeah, talked a little too much
smack in the locker room earlier tonight.

754
00:54:41,798 --> 00:54:47,520
GM Aldis is now trying to teach them
a lesson by putting DIY to work.

755
00:54:48,754 --> 00:54:50,790
[Cole] Andrade will be
one of their opponents.

756
00:54:50,824 --> 00:54:51,991
Who will the other one be?

757
00:54:52,024 --> 00:54:54,294
We find out next on SmackDown.

758
00:55:01,234 --> 00:55:04,705
[Cole] It is the start of what is going
to be an unbelievable weekend

759
00:55:04,738 --> 00:55:07,641
in the capital city
in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

760
00:55:07,674 --> 00:55:09,142
This is Riyadh.

761
00:55:09,176 --> 00:55:11,928
We're at the Kingdom Arena tonight
for Friday Night SmackDown.

762
00:55:11,962 --> 00:55:16,066
Of course tomorrow
it will be a Night of Champions.

763
00:55:16,098 --> 00:55:21,939
And speaking of champions,
Legado Del Fantasma now has some gold.

764
00:55:23,123 --> 00:55:26,977
It happened a couple of weeks ago
at Triplemanía Regia III

765
00:55:27,009 --> 00:55:29,096
in Monterrey, Mexico.

766
00:55:29,730 --> 00:55:34,234
Wade, Angel and Humberto, Los Garza,
put on a show.

767
00:55:34,268 --> 00:55:37,955
Part of a fatal,
part of a four-way matchup

768
00:55:39,573 --> 00:55:42,009
to win the AAA world tag team titles.

769
00:55:42,042 --> 00:55:45,045
[Barrett] Got some incredible history
south of the border.

770
00:55:45,078 --> 00:55:49,383
Well, they've extended it further
by grabbing AAA tag gold.

771
00:55:49,415 --> 00:55:51,201
Congrats, Los Garza.

772
00:55:52,669 --> 00:55:57,107
[Cole] And former tag team champions
in their own right, NXT tag team titles,

773
00:55:57,140 --> 00:56:01,361
two-time WWE tag team champions, DIY.

774
00:56:01,395 --> 00:56:03,013
[crowd cheering] DIY!

775
00:56:28,622 --> 00:56:31,058
["Ánimo" plays]

776
00:56:43,337 --> 00:56:44,488
[Cole] Oh, yeah!

777
00:56:47,124 --> 00:56:50,978
[Barrett] Oh, what an ace
to pull out of your sleeve, Andrade.

778
00:57:09,413 --> 00:57:15,702
[Nash] And their opponents
with a combined weight of 412 pounds,

779
00:57:16,569 --> 00:57:21,959
Andrade and Rey Fenix!

780
00:57:21,991 --> 00:57:24,493
So Gargano and Ciampa
were running their mouths

781
00:57:24,528 --> 00:57:26,797
and Aldis had enough and said,

782
00:57:26,830 --> 00:57:29,232
"Hey Andrade, you want a tag match?
Find a partner."

783
00:57:29,265 --> 00:57:31,835
What a partner he found, Rey Fenix,

784
00:57:31,868 --> 00:57:34,638
and they lit things up
a few weeks ago, Wade.

785
00:57:34,671 --> 00:57:35,739
[Barrett] Yes, they did.

786
00:57:35,772 --> 00:57:40,344
They have tagged one time previously,
beating Los Garza,

787
00:57:40,377 --> 00:57:43,513
who we just saw win the AAA tag titles.

788
00:57:43,547 --> 00:57:45,031
That was back in May.

789
00:57:45,065 --> 00:57:49,002
These two showed
some immediate chemistry together

790
00:57:49,036 --> 00:57:50,870
and they're gonna need that tonight,

791
00:57:50,904 --> 00:57:54,491
because DIY are chemistry personified.

792
00:58:16,964 --> 00:58:21,618
It pays to be popular when you need
an emergency tag partner

793
00:58:22,502 --> 00:58:27,307
and to call through your list of contacts
and come up with Rey Fenix,

794
00:58:27,341 --> 00:58:29,292
hats off, Andrade.

795
00:58:31,461 --> 00:58:33,647
Jaw-dropping superstar.

796
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:37,518
Rey Fenix has been
since his debut on SmackDown,

797
00:58:37,551 --> 00:58:40,754
he's been cutting through
the entire roster

798
00:58:40,787 --> 00:58:42,388
-with electrifying moves…
-[bell rings]

799
00:58:42,422 --> 00:58:44,991
…and we should see some more
of that imminently.

800
00:58:47,877 --> 00:58:48,879
[Cole] So here we go.

801
00:58:48,912 --> 00:58:51,698
Ciampa starting things off
against Andrade.

802
00:58:51,732 --> 00:58:54,984
Big opportunity
for the both these tag teams tonight.

803
00:58:55,018 --> 00:58:58,020
A win could propel them
to a tag team championship opportunity.

804
00:58:58,055 --> 00:59:01,058
Remember, Street Profits defend
against the Wyatt Sicks later tonight.

805
00:59:01,091 --> 00:59:04,511
[Barrett] Yeah, the whole division
has really been thrown into chaos

806
00:59:04,544 --> 00:59:07,163
since the return of the Wyatt Sicks,

807
00:59:07,196 --> 00:59:11,018
who've attacked pretty much
every single tag team on the list.

808
00:59:11,051 --> 00:59:14,354
We'll see if they grab gold
later on tonight

809
00:59:15,355 --> 00:59:16,522
against the Street Profits.

810
00:59:16,557 --> 00:59:18,875
But you're right, whoever wins that match

811
00:59:18,908 --> 00:59:20,777
will need a number one contender,

812
00:59:20,810 --> 00:59:23,497
so put your foot down, lads.

813
00:59:23,529 --> 00:59:26,466
[Cole] Nice double team
and Andrade now, drop toehold again.

814
00:59:26,500 --> 00:59:29,986
Rey Fenix slides outside the ring.
And here comes Andrade now.

815
00:59:30,020 --> 00:59:33,056
Oh, and a double team
by Andrade and Fenix!

816
00:59:33,089 --> 00:59:34,591
High-caliber action.

817
00:59:44,852 --> 00:59:46,520
Oh!

818
00:59:46,553 --> 00:59:51,475
Fenix, Andrade fly and take control
of this tag team match.

819
00:59:56,596 --> 00:59:58,397
[Cole] We are back
on Friday Night SmackDown.

820
00:59:58,432 --> 01:00:02,836
It's DIY against Andrade and the partner
he picked for this matchup, Rey Fenix,

821
01:00:02,870 --> 01:00:05,254
but right now,
Gargano and Ciampa dominating.

822
01:00:05,288 --> 01:00:07,441
Frequent tags in and out of the ring.

823
01:00:07,473 --> 01:00:11,211
Interesting to see Gargano and Andrade
back in the same ring together.

824
01:00:11,245 --> 01:00:16,667
Back in 2018 those two had
the match of the year in NXT.

825
01:00:16,700 --> 01:00:18,402
-Oh, goodness.
-[Barrett] Oh, my god.

826
01:00:18,435 --> 01:00:21,455
That landing by Gargano
was absolutely horrific,

827
01:00:21,488 --> 01:00:24,258
landed on the steps with his shin,
hoping he's okay.

828
01:00:24,290 --> 01:00:27,611
And for the moment at least,
Ciampa's gotta go it alone.

829
01:00:28,694 --> 01:00:30,247
[Cole] And now Rey Fenix
picking up the pace.

830
01:00:30,279 --> 01:00:32,683
Ciampa down and an opportunity now
to make a tag.

831
01:00:32,716 --> 01:00:37,587
To Wades point, some concern perhaps
for Johnny Gargano who landed hard.

832
01:00:37,620 --> 01:00:40,991
[Barrett] It's about as awkward a landing
as you can have over the top row,

833
01:00:41,024 --> 01:00:43,460
contacting those steel steps
on the way down.

834
01:00:43,493 --> 01:00:45,879
Could have easily tore something
in his neck. Wait up!

835
01:00:45,913 --> 01:00:48,515
[Cole] Obviously, well,
he may be a bit injured,

836
01:00:48,549 --> 01:00:51,868
but it did not prevent him
from pulling Andrade…

837
01:00:51,902 --> 01:00:54,805
Oh… off the apron
so he couldn't make the tag.

838
01:00:54,837 --> 01:00:57,823
Cover now by Ciampa.
Wraps the arm and the leg.

839
01:00:57,857 --> 01:01:01,245
Great cover by Ciampa.
Great kick out by Rey Fenix.

840
01:01:01,278 --> 01:01:03,513
Hey, Wade, a new era is born.

841
01:01:03,547 --> 01:01:07,067
Jurassic World Rebirth takes you
to the most dangerous island on Earth,

842
01:01:07,100 --> 01:01:09,803
only in theaters Wednesday.

843
01:01:09,836 --> 01:01:11,788
[Barrett] Talk about dangerous, Ciampa--

844
01:01:16,593 --> 01:01:18,611
No one's dumb enough
to go where we're going.

845
01:01:18,645 --> 01:01:20,080
That's kind of our specialty.

846
01:01:26,185 --> 01:01:29,339
-Hang on.
-Let's go.

847
01:01:30,022 --> 01:01:31,707
[narrator] Rated PG-13.

848
01:01:31,741 --> 01:01:34,528
[Cole] What were you saying about being
a tremendous broadcast journalist?

849
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,779
We take cues here, pal.

850
01:01:36,812 --> 01:01:40,049
[Barrett] My headset
temporarily wasn't working, Michael Cole.

851
01:01:40,082 --> 01:01:42,002
-[Cole] Ciampa…
-Did you pull the plug on me or something?

852
01:01:42,035 --> 01:01:45,105
…taking the fight now again to Rey Fenix.

853
01:01:45,138 --> 01:01:48,859
Tremendous tag team battle here tonight
by both of these teams.

854
01:01:48,892 --> 01:01:52,178
We mentioned before
the jockeyed position for a future

855
01:01:52,212 --> 01:01:54,163
tag team championship opportunity.

856
01:01:54,198 --> 01:01:57,167
Profits, Wyatt Sicks later on tonight
for the titles.

857
01:01:57,201 --> 01:01:58,384
[Cole] How crucial was that

858
01:01:58,417 --> 01:02:01,270
when Johnny Gargano pulled Andrade
off the apron,

859
01:02:01,305 --> 01:02:03,624
just when Fenix was finally going
to get that tag.

860
01:02:04,942 --> 01:02:08,477
[Cole] Well, Johnny Wrestling apparently
feigning a knee injury.

861
01:02:08,511 --> 01:02:10,580
[Barrett] Oh, no,
he's still shaking it off, it's legit.

862
01:02:10,614 --> 01:02:12,281
I'm telling you, he is hurt.

863
01:02:13,216 --> 01:02:18,171
[Cole] Rey Fenix walking the tightrope
and connecting with Ciampa.

864
01:02:18,205 --> 01:02:20,339
Fenix is a human highlight reel.

865
01:02:20,941 --> 01:02:24,211
[Barrett] Johnny Gargano, to his credit,
battling through the pain here

866
01:02:24,243 --> 01:02:28,549
with that left knee injury, still wanting
to get back in the fight,

867
01:02:28,582 --> 01:02:31,585
perhaps because Ciampa is down
and maybe out.

868
01:02:32,452 --> 01:02:33,604
[Cole] Andrade looking for a tag.

869
01:02:33,636 --> 01:02:35,689
Gargano's legal, so is Andrade.

870
01:02:35,721 --> 01:02:38,225
And, uh, Johnny Gargano came up a bit…

871
01:02:39,509 --> 01:02:42,596
Oh, and a dragon screw by Andrade.

872
01:02:42,629 --> 01:02:46,549
[Barrett] Right on that bad knee.
How smart was that from Andrade?

873
01:02:46,582 --> 01:02:50,904
And now the favor fully on the side
of Andrade and Fenix.

874
01:02:50,937 --> 01:02:53,323
[Cole] And Gargano howling in pain.

875
01:02:54,024 --> 01:02:57,444
[Barrett] Well, Gargano should not even be
in the fight at this point.

876
01:02:57,477 --> 01:02:59,812
It tells you what a competitor he is.

877
01:02:59,846 --> 01:03:01,881
Simply has no quit in his soul.

878
01:03:01,915 --> 01:03:05,769
[Cole] And the third-generation superstar
Andrade went for the meteora.

879
01:03:05,801 --> 01:03:10,624
Gargano rolled out of harm's way,
slingshot spear caught by Andrade.

880
01:03:10,656 --> 01:03:12,960
Oh, and what an elbow
to the back of the neck!

881
01:03:17,196 --> 01:03:22,569
Down goes Gargano
off that reverse tornado DDT.

882
01:03:22,602 --> 01:03:24,587
And a kick out at two by Johnny!

883
01:03:25,272 --> 01:03:27,658
[Barrett] Well, hats off to Johnny Gargano

884
01:03:27,691 --> 01:03:30,493
and he's unrelenting passion
for this game.

885
01:03:30,527 --> 01:03:32,863
You might not like his attitude of late,

886
01:03:32,895 --> 01:03:37,518
but you have to respect a man
fighting past the pain barrier here.

887
01:03:40,102 --> 01:03:44,473
Just how much it means to guys
like Ciampa and Johnny Gargano,

888
01:03:44,508 --> 01:03:46,827
two gritty dudes
who've come up the hard way,

889
01:03:46,859 --> 01:03:48,361
but that ain't gonna help you now.

890
01:03:48,395 --> 01:03:50,513
[Cole] Andrade lands, rolls through.

891
01:03:51,198 --> 01:03:53,133
-And doubles team!
-[Barrett] Oh.

892
01:03:53,884 --> 01:03:56,169
[Cole] For the win! Ciampa, cover.

893
01:03:56,870 --> 01:03:57,870
And a kick out.

894
01:03:57,904 --> 01:04:02,526
I believe using his knees
hurt Johnny Gargano's knee even more.

895
01:04:10,167 --> 01:04:14,136
And what a tag team matchup this has
been here on Friday Night SmackDown.

896
01:04:14,171 --> 01:04:17,658
DIY against Andrade and Rey Fenix.

897
01:04:17,691 --> 01:04:19,859
[Barrett] Been an absolute banger,

898
01:04:19,893 --> 01:04:24,531
and it's still ongoing despite
the war wounds shown by all four men.

899
01:04:24,564 --> 01:04:26,899
[Cole] Yeah, suffering a knee injury
early on in the matchup,

900
01:04:26,933 --> 01:04:28,535
Gargano has fought through.

901
01:04:29,653 --> 01:04:31,370
Andrade with a chop.

902
01:04:37,828 --> 01:04:42,816
[Barrett] Looking for something huge here
to finally put this one away,

903
01:04:42,850 --> 01:04:46,336
but of course
there's fight left in Johnny Wrestling.

904
01:04:49,455 --> 01:04:51,308
[Cole] What are they going to do here?
High-risk maneuver.

905
01:04:51,341 --> 01:04:53,442
-Gargano… Andrade lands on his feet!
-[Barrett] Oh.

906
01:04:54,394 --> 01:04:55,812
Running knees!

907
01:04:55,846 --> 01:04:59,716
[Barrett] Just crazy athleticism
and reflexes from this man.

908
01:04:59,750 --> 01:05:01,100
Watch out.

909
01:05:02,301 --> 01:05:04,687
-Oh!
-[Cole] Goodness, stuck it.

910
01:05:06,323 --> 01:05:07,607
Ciampa!

911
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:11,227
No, Gargano actually kicked out
before Ciampa got in to make the save.

912
01:05:11,261 --> 01:05:13,312
[Barrett] Gargano tried
to roll out the way,

913
01:05:13,346 --> 01:05:16,183
he didn't roll far enough
and basically got a double stomp

914
01:05:16,216 --> 01:05:18,652
to the chest as his reward.

915
01:05:19,669 --> 01:05:23,272
[Cole] Fenix using the ropes
to his advantage.

916
01:05:24,191 --> 01:05:26,475
Rey Fenix gonna fly!

917
01:05:27,961 --> 01:05:31,314
[Barrett] So much acceleration
and so much impact.

918
01:05:32,232 --> 01:05:37,221
Taking the Sicilian Psychopath,
Tommaso Ciampa down.

919
01:05:37,254 --> 01:05:38,971
And then they were two.

920
01:05:39,006 --> 01:05:41,274
[Cole] And then Gargano turns
his attention

921
01:05:41,308 --> 01:05:43,727
to an old, familiar foe, Andrade.

922
01:05:44,761 --> 01:05:47,598
This place is electric
for this tag team match.

923
01:05:48,281 --> 01:05:53,352
[Barrett] What an absolute unexpected
treat these four have thrown on here.

924
01:05:57,890 --> 01:05:58,926
[Cole] Uh-oh.

925
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:01,912
Fenix makes the tag, he's legal.

926
01:06:01,944 --> 01:06:03,946
[Barrett] I don't think
Johnny Gargano saw that.

927
01:06:05,698 --> 01:06:06,700
[Cole] He's gonna know now.

928
01:06:06,732 --> 01:06:10,520
Fenix, incredible!
Turned that into a German suplex.

929
01:06:10,553 --> 01:06:12,105
Bridging cover now!

930
01:06:12,138 --> 01:06:14,875
Almost had him. What a move by Rey Fenix.

931
01:06:14,908 --> 01:06:18,928
[Barrett] Oh, man, if that pin had been
a little more crisp,

932
01:06:18,962 --> 01:06:21,781
that surely would have been the end there.

933
01:06:21,814 --> 01:06:24,618
What a massive leverage
German suplex there,

934
01:06:24,651 --> 01:06:27,471
but perhaps after the beating
Fenix has taken,

935
01:06:27,504 --> 01:06:31,741
didn't quite have the core strength
to stick the pin.

936
01:06:40,850 --> 01:06:41,852
[Cole] Fenix…

937
01:06:44,004 --> 01:06:47,374
with Gargano up on his shoulders,
Andrade top rope.

938
01:06:47,406 --> 01:06:49,692
Ciampa sends him
spilling out to the floor.

939
01:06:49,725 --> 01:06:52,863
Gargano rolled through,
is it enough for the win.

940
01:06:52,895 --> 01:06:55,147
Almost had him. Two-and-a-half!

941
01:06:55,182 --> 01:06:58,151
Just when Fenix was trying
for that Mexican Muscle Buster.

942
01:06:58,185 --> 01:07:01,038
-Wait up!
-[Cole] Fenix hurt his knee.

943
01:07:01,071 --> 01:07:04,258
Gargano capitalized, tag to Tampa.

944
01:07:04,290 --> 01:07:06,042
[Barrett] Nailing that poisonrana,

945
01:07:06,076 --> 01:07:09,863
and now Ciampa looking to capitalize
on this and put this to bed.

946
01:07:09,897 --> 01:07:11,131
[Cole] Looking for Fairytale Ending.

947
01:07:11,163 --> 01:07:12,716
Gargano with a kick to the face.

948
01:07:12,749 --> 01:07:14,067
Down goes Fenix.

949
01:07:14,100 --> 01:07:15,968
Cover off the double team.

950
01:07:16,002 --> 01:07:19,589
Somehow Fenix is in it.
Somehow Rey Fenix is alive.

951
01:07:20,941 --> 01:07:25,294
And Ciampa looking to put Fenix away.

952
01:07:26,296 --> 01:07:27,346
Oh!

953
01:07:27,948 --> 01:07:29,716
Project Ciampa.

954
01:07:29,750 --> 01:07:33,053
-Cover. Andrade breaks things up!
-[Barrett] Oh.

955
01:07:33,904 --> 01:07:39,859
Perfect timing from Andrade
'cause this one was as good as over.

956
01:07:40,426 --> 01:07:44,897
Just a volley of offense
thrown the way of Rey Fenix.

957
01:07:44,932 --> 01:07:48,018
[Cole] Oh, Andrade caught him
with a back elbow.

958
01:07:48,051 --> 01:07:50,553
Ciampa now gonna send Andrade
into the ropes.

959
01:07:51,071 --> 01:07:52,673
Kick drops Andrade to his knees.

960
01:07:52,705 --> 01:07:55,859
And now Tommaso Ciampa
looking to put Rey Fenix away.

961
01:07:55,893 --> 01:07:58,694
Exposes his knee. Into the corner.
Nobody home.

962
01:08:01,031 --> 01:08:04,451
Fenix! Tremendous balance.

963
01:08:04,484 --> 01:08:06,569
Ciampa up on the top rope.

964
01:08:06,602 --> 01:08:08,622
Tag made to Andrade, who's legal.

965
01:08:08,654 --> 01:08:10,756
[Barrett] Things suddenly looking bleak!

966
01:08:11,774 --> 01:08:12,875
[Cole] Oh!

967
01:08:14,595 --> 01:08:15,645
Andrade!

968
01:08:16,779 --> 01:08:18,264
The Message!

969
01:08:21,617 --> 01:08:23,336
-[bell rings]
-[crowd cheers]

970
01:08:25,889 --> 01:08:28,325
[Nash] Here are your winners,

971
01:08:28,358 --> 01:08:33,863
Rey Fenix and Andrade!

972
01:08:35,698 --> 01:08:41,287
[Cole] Absolutely incredible action here
in this tag team matchup.

973
01:08:41,321 --> 01:08:45,675
[Barrett] Oh, man, that match was
an absolute treat for all of us,

974
01:08:45,709 --> 01:08:52,049
complete pandemonium from start to finish,
and what a victory for this team,

975
01:08:53,216 --> 01:08:56,036
who are now basically 2-0.

976
01:08:56,068 --> 01:09:00,240
See this Mexican Muscle Buster here
from Rey Fenix.

977
01:09:00,273 --> 01:09:02,843
We've seen that in the past
and you called it, Cole.

978
01:09:02,876 --> 01:09:05,144
The Message, the one-two whammy.

979
01:09:05,845 --> 01:09:10,684
Puts Ciampa away
as Rey Fenix plays God on the outside.

980
01:09:10,716 --> 01:09:13,620
[Cole] Rey Fenix calls it
the Black Fire Driver,

981
01:09:13,653 --> 01:09:17,890
and he connected with it here tonight
to allow Andrade to hit the message.

982
01:09:17,925 --> 01:09:23,013
And once again victorious for this
high fly and exciting tag team

983
01:09:23,045 --> 01:09:25,499
of Andrade and Fenix
on Friday Night Smackdown.

984
01:09:29,019 --> 01:09:35,392
Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow night
appears to be the final confrontation

985
01:09:35,459 --> 01:09:39,462
in one of the most heated rivalries
in WWE history.

986
01:09:39,529 --> 01:09:42,131
We look at Cena versus Punk next.

987
01:09:52,341 --> 01:09:55,245
[Cole] Ladies and gentlemen,
we are in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia tonight

988
01:09:55,279 --> 01:09:58,098
for an unbelievable weekend of WWE action.

989
01:09:58,130 --> 01:10:02,135
Tonight it's Friday Night Smackdown
in this capital city.

990
01:10:03,103 --> 01:10:06,173
Well, John Cena will be here live
a bit later on tonight.

991
01:10:07,558 --> 01:10:11,512
But he talked about his retirement tour
on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert

992
01:10:11,577 --> 01:10:12,696
this past Tuesday.

993
01:10:15,883 --> 01:10:19,353
-So we-- we have-- we have "Cena sucks!"
-[audience laughing, cheering]

994
01:10:19,385 --> 01:10:22,623
But we also have "Let's go, Cena!"

995
01:10:22,656 --> 01:10:26,360
All right. Hold on, hold on.
If you'll indulge me.

996
01:10:27,177 --> 01:10:29,346
[audience chanting] Let's go, Cena!

997
01:10:29,379 --> 01:10:30,664
Cena sucks!

998
01:10:30,731 --> 01:10:33,032
Let's go, Cena!

999
01:10:33,066 --> 01:10:34,550
Cena sucks!

1000
01:10:34,617 --> 01:10:36,403
Let's go, Cena!

1001
01:10:36,470 --> 01:10:37,654
Cena sucks!

1002
01:10:37,721 --> 01:10:40,757
I now pronounce you full WWE fans.

1003
01:10:40,791 --> 01:10:43,110
-Congratulations!
-[cheering]

1004
01:10:44,595 --> 01:10:46,045
Wow. Oh.

1005
01:10:47,548 --> 01:10:50,684
[Cole] I can't believe there's less
than 6 months left

1006
01:10:50,751 --> 01:10:52,536
in John Cena's retirement tour.

1007
01:10:52,568 --> 01:10:56,857
A lot of people will be happy when John
Cena retires based on his attitude.

1008
01:10:56,889 --> 01:11:01,512
However, they won't be happy
if he retires with the WWE title intact.

1009
01:11:01,577 --> 01:11:03,313
Well, tomorrow night it is our main event.

1010
01:11:03,347 --> 01:11:07,968
It is the culmination of one of the
greatest rivalries in the history of WWE.

1011
01:11:08,035 --> 01:11:11,038
Night of Champions, Cena versus Punk.

1012
01:11:14,925 --> 01:11:16,793
[narrator 1] Yin and Yang.

1013
01:11:18,762 --> 01:11:21,548
Two seemingly opposite forces
that, in truth,

1014
01:11:21,581 --> 01:11:23,717
compliment and interconnect
with the other.

1015
01:11:26,202 --> 01:11:28,922
Two entities
in constant flux and transformation.

1016
01:11:30,206 --> 01:11:33,710
Totally interdependent to exist.

1017
01:11:33,744 --> 01:11:36,630
John Cena and CM Punk.

1018
01:11:38,982 --> 01:11:41,084
Yin and yang.

1019
01:11:41,518 --> 01:11:44,121
[Garcia] From West Newbury, Massachusetts.

1020
01:11:45,005 --> 01:11:46,490
[narrator 2] John Cena.

1021
01:11:46,924 --> 01:11:49,876
The clean-cut untouchable chosen one.

1022
01:11:50,460 --> 01:11:54,248
[Cena] If you want some, come get some.

1023
01:11:55,081 --> 01:11:56,934
[narrator 2] A decorated champion.

1024
01:11:58,735 --> 01:12:03,005
A valiant in-ring competitor
and above all else, a man of the people.

1025
01:12:03,773 --> 01:12:06,410
And after more than 2 decades
in the spotlight,

1026
01:12:06,443 --> 01:12:08,745
an icon who once set the standard

1027
01:12:08,812 --> 01:12:11,965
-of hustle, loyalty and respect.
-[Cena] Hustle, loyalty and respect.

1028
01:12:15,251 --> 01:12:18,438
[Garcia] From Chicago, Illinois.

1029
01:12:19,339 --> 01:12:20,407
[narrator 2] CM Punk.

1030
01:12:21,558 --> 01:12:24,811
The loud, defiant voice of the voiceless.

1031
01:12:25,312 --> 01:12:27,947
The rebel who was never meant to be king.

1032
01:12:28,398 --> 01:12:30,601
[Punk] I've been the best
ever since day one.

1033
01:12:30,634 --> 01:12:33,820
There's one thing you're better at
than I am, John,

1034
01:12:33,853 --> 01:12:35,505
and that's kissing ass.

1035
01:12:37,474 --> 01:12:39,977
[narrator 2] Raging against the system
brought him adulation,

1036
01:12:40,043 --> 01:12:42,929
but never enough
to fill the hole deep within.

1037
01:12:43,664 --> 01:12:48,468
His desire to sit alone atop the summit
would lead to bitterness and resentment,

1038
01:12:49,019 --> 01:12:51,538
self-destruction, and banishment.

1039
01:12:52,121 --> 01:12:53,123
But time…

1040
01:12:56,309 --> 01:12:57,693
Time changes everything.

1041
01:13:00,097 --> 01:13:02,833
-Yin becomes yang.
-[crowd chanting] Cena sucks!

1042
01:13:02,866 --> 01:13:04,818
-[narrator 2] Yang becomes yin.
-[crowd booing]

1043
01:13:05,903 --> 01:13:09,406
[narrator 2] In an infinite dance,
struggling to find harmony.

1044
01:13:10,456 --> 01:13:13,961
Contrasting dualities,
destined to be bound.

1045
01:13:15,195 --> 01:13:18,081
And the battle in which these two
have been endlessly engaged

1046
01:13:18,115 --> 01:13:20,067
finds itself with new motivation.

1047
01:13:21,934 --> 01:13:24,638
That title has corrupted you.

1048
01:13:25,172 --> 01:13:29,726
I've been the victim
of an abusive relationship,

1049
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,931
because all you've ever done there
for 25 years

1050
01:13:34,548 --> 01:13:38,919
is sit on your ass and watch me be great.

1051
01:13:40,286 --> 01:13:42,873
[narrator 2] Instead of a graceful exit,
John Cena detached.

1052
01:13:42,906 --> 01:13:44,374
And, disillusioned,

1053
01:13:44,958 --> 01:13:49,396
-has vowed to…
-[Cena] …ruin wrestling for everyone.

1054
01:13:49,429 --> 01:13:50,230
[booing]

1055
01:13:50,264 --> 01:13:52,516
[narrator 2] While CM Punk
has returned from exile,

1056
01:13:52,583 --> 01:13:54,818
a beacon of hope and change.

1057
01:13:55,686 --> 01:13:59,322
A new face for the company
he once vowed to burn down.

1058
01:14:02,342 --> 01:14:03,559
The balance has shifted.

1059
01:14:05,661 --> 01:14:09,816
Light becomes shadow.
Shadow now stands in the sun.

1060
01:14:11,168 --> 01:14:15,422
I have shut your mouth
and beaten your best.

1061
01:14:16,607 --> 01:14:20,260
You can't beat me when I'm at my best,
you never could.

1062
01:14:20,294 --> 01:14:24,398
I won the title. I left with the title.

1063
01:14:24,464 --> 01:14:26,583
You're trying to follow in my footsteps.

1064
01:14:28,418 --> 01:14:32,371
I hate this idea that you're the best
in the world. You're not.

1065
01:14:32,438 --> 01:14:34,608
I'm the greatest of all time.

1066
01:14:36,076 --> 01:14:39,463
The truth is, Punk, I'm jealous of you.

1067
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:45,219
I am jealous that you have conned
these people into believing the myth

1068
01:14:45,251 --> 01:14:47,204
that you're the best in the world.

1069
01:14:48,005 --> 01:14:52,142
Remember who gave you the stage
for your pipe bomb, pal.

1070
01:14:55,312 --> 01:14:57,731
What have you done with it
since then, huh?

1071
01:14:58,916 --> 01:15:04,438
Because you change your values
as much as I change my t-shirts.

1072
01:15:06,373 --> 01:15:10,744
You're just a loud mouth opportunist
who will step on the necks

1073
01:15:10,777 --> 01:15:13,981
of people who actually work hard
if it gets you ahead.

1074
01:15:14,848 --> 01:15:16,400
[narrator 2] The greatest of all time.

1075
01:15:16,433 --> 01:15:19,603
Night of Champions,
Ball's in your court, hero.

1076
01:15:20,003 --> 01:15:22,155
[narrator 2] The best in the world.

1077
01:15:22,773 --> 01:15:25,976
You can't see me? I see through you.

1078
01:15:27,110 --> 01:15:28,445
[narrator 2] Yin and Yang,

1079
01:15:28,962 --> 01:15:31,831
positioned once again
upon opposing shores.

1080
01:15:34,735 --> 01:15:37,036
For a final reckoning.

1081
01:15:41,692 --> 01:15:44,978
Well, ladies and gentlemen, John Cena will
join us a bit later on tonight,

1082
01:15:45,012 --> 01:15:46,396
here on Friday Night SmackDown,

1083
01:15:46,463 --> 01:15:48,549
but Wade, you and I are gonna have
the privilege

1084
01:15:48,615 --> 01:15:52,202
to be able to call the final match
in this great rivalry.

1085
01:15:52,236 --> 01:15:55,389
Oh, man, it's been incredible.
I mean, go back 14 years and it was--

1086
01:15:57,307 --> 01:15:58,541
Well, uh…

1087
01:16:02,161 --> 01:16:03,163
Okay.

1088
01:16:04,848 --> 01:16:05,949
R-Truth.

1089
01:16:08,151 --> 01:16:11,255
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, what's up?

1090
01:16:11,321 --> 01:16:12,706
[crowd] What's up?

1091
01:16:12,773 --> 01:16:17,260
I'm gonna tell you what's up.
I am Ron Killings.

1092
01:16:17,294 --> 01:16:23,250
I am the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.

1093
01:16:23,317 --> 01:16:26,119
Now put some respect on my name.

1094
01:16:26,152 --> 01:16:27,538
John Cena.

1095
01:16:27,603 --> 01:16:30,773
I ain't letting it slide.
I ain't letting it ride.

1096
01:16:30,807 --> 01:16:32,776
Get out here right now!

1097
01:16:32,843 --> 01:16:34,443
I want you right now.

1098
01:16:34,510 --> 01:16:36,597
Come on, John Cena, where you at?

1099
01:16:37,514 --> 01:16:38,749
Let's go, buddy.

1100
01:16:41,084 --> 01:16:42,568
-[Cole] Oh, Truth--
-Let's go!

1101
01:16:42,603 --> 01:16:43,786
[Cole] Oh! Uh-oh.

1102
01:16:45,656 --> 01:16:47,474
Truth, you better turn around.

1103
01:16:50,177 --> 01:16:54,481
Black Mass from Aleister Black.

1104
01:16:55,014 --> 01:17:00,670
[Barrett] Who has been interrupted
two weeks in a row by a ranting R-Truth.

1105
01:17:04,942 --> 01:17:08,612
I told you, Ron,
not to drink from this cup.

1106
01:17:10,013 --> 01:17:12,182
And I guess in a weird way
we're even now, Ron.

1107
01:17:17,771 --> 01:17:19,673
[crowd member 1] Why, Aleister, why?

1108
01:17:20,541 --> 01:17:21,808
["Root of All Evil" playing]

1109
01:17:21,875 --> 01:17:25,779
[Cole] Well, Alastair Black
had warned R-Truth.

1110
01:17:27,813 --> 01:17:31,485
Black Mass took out Truth here tonight.

1111
01:17:47,818 --> 01:17:50,353
Hey, Street Profits,
mind if I talk to you guys for a second?

1112
01:17:50,420 --> 01:17:51,420
No, it's good.

1113
01:17:51,487 --> 01:17:54,825
So in just a few minutes,
you have the unenviable task

1114
01:17:54,892 --> 01:17:58,996
of defending your WWE Tag Team titles
against the Wyatt6.

1115
01:17:59,029 --> 01:18:00,197
What's your game plan?

1116
01:18:00,813 --> 01:18:05,018
Byron, Saudi Arabia.
Let me ask you a question.

1117
01:18:05,085 --> 01:18:07,070
What's the last time
that the Street Profits

1118
01:18:07,137 --> 01:18:08,755
have had Tag Team gold?

1119
01:18:10,090 --> 01:18:12,075
4 years, Byron!

1120
01:18:12,659 --> 01:18:16,045
And we had to go through fire
to get back to the mountain top.

1121
01:18:16,079 --> 01:18:18,432
So the Wyatt6 or any tag team

1122
01:18:18,498 --> 01:18:20,968
must be out their damn mind
if they think they're gonna take

1123
01:18:21,034 --> 01:18:24,221
these Tag Team Championships
from us anytime soon.

1124
01:18:24,254 --> 01:18:26,657
Look, fam,
we're the class of this division.

1125
01:18:26,690 --> 01:18:28,025
People keep asking, "Dawgs,

1126
01:18:28,058 --> 01:18:30,527
why are you intent on defending your
titles against the Wyatts?

1127
01:18:30,561 --> 01:18:32,212
The answer is simple.

1128
01:18:32,279 --> 01:18:34,248
They're the only threat we got.

1129
01:18:34,281 --> 01:18:37,584
So we approach that threat
and we eliminate that threat.

1130
01:18:38,151 --> 01:18:39,937
You heard what he said, Byron.

1131
01:18:39,969 --> 01:18:41,004
It's Friday.

1132
01:18:41,438 --> 01:18:44,273
So that means it's time to go to work.
Let's go, baby.

1133
01:18:46,827 --> 01:18:47,844
-Ha!
-Let's go.

1134
01:18:48,512 --> 01:18:53,050
Boys, look, what's understood
doesn't have to be explained.

1135
01:18:53,517 --> 01:18:56,320
But if need be, I got y'all back.

1136
01:18:56,385 --> 01:18:57,471
-Appreciate that.
-Yeah.

1137
01:18:57,538 --> 01:19:01,074
Go take care of business.
I know y'all got this. Mm-hmm.

1138
01:19:02,159 --> 01:19:03,677
["We Will Smoke" playing]

1139
01:19:10,968 --> 01:19:13,202
[Cole] Tag Team Championship time.

1140
01:19:23,063 --> 01:19:24,414
[bell rings]

1141
01:19:24,481 --> 01:19:26,250
[Nash speaks indistinctly]

1142
01:19:26,316 --> 01:19:28,202
He's scheduled for one fall

1143
01:19:28,268 --> 01:19:34,191
and it's for
the WWE Tag Team Championships!

1144
01:19:34,741 --> 01:19:40,864
Introducing first,
with a combined weight of 492 pounds.

1145
01:19:41,298 --> 01:19:45,818
They are the WWE Tag Team Champions.

1146
01:19:46,402 --> 01:19:50,490
Angelo Dawkins. Montez Ford.

1147
01:19:51,041 --> 01:19:54,378
The Street Profits!

1148
01:19:54,443 --> 01:19:58,264
[Cole] No way, the prophets have
their work cut out for them tonight.

1149
01:19:59,183 --> 01:20:01,934
[Barrett] This is a team
who have been transformed

1150
01:20:01,969 --> 01:20:03,920
since returning back in January.

1151
01:20:03,987 --> 01:20:05,706
It took them all the way to the gold.

1152
01:20:05,739 --> 01:20:07,974
If anyone can stop the Wyatts,
it's these two.

1153
01:20:09,726 --> 01:20:12,262
[Cole] We're gonna see
how it all plays out.

1154
01:20:12,295 --> 01:20:17,818
Street Profits, Wyatt6 Tag Team Title
on SmackDown.

1155
01:20:28,795 --> 01:20:30,313
["We Will Smoke" ends]

1156
01:20:42,976 --> 01:20:45,812
You're feeling real tough
right about now, huh?

1157
01:20:47,130 --> 01:20:48,130
Yeah.

1158
01:20:48,599 --> 01:20:52,469
No, but if you're truly our friend,
you'll tell him to stay away.

1159
01:20:52,501 --> 01:20:55,889
Besides, as far as I'm concerned,
his debt is paid.

1160
01:20:57,407 --> 01:20:58,809
You know, I know Truth.

1161
01:21:00,309 --> 01:21:03,213
[indistinct audio]
…next time you're looking for payment,

1162
01:21:03,730 --> 01:21:05,449
why don't you do it face to face with him?

1163
01:21:05,482 --> 01:21:08,468
I'm pretty sure… [indistinct audio]
…will be a lot different.

1164
01:21:14,090 --> 01:21:16,943
-I'm sure he will be. [chuckles]
-[clicks tongue]

1165
01:21:21,697 --> 01:21:23,750
[scoffs] This guy.

1166
01:21:23,784 --> 01:21:26,702
Look, who am I to tell you
what to do, okay?

1167
01:21:26,769 --> 01:21:27,771
But if it was me.

1168
01:21:28,487 --> 01:21:30,891
I'd mind my own business,
especially when it comes to

1169
01:21:30,958 --> 01:21:33,177
this whole R-truth Ron Killer
situation, man.

1170
01:21:33,242 --> 01:21:35,963
If you're really his boy,
you let him handle his business

1171
01:21:35,996 --> 01:21:37,331
and you stay out the way,

1172
01:21:37,364 --> 01:21:38,982
before you end up a casualty.

1173
01:21:40,349 --> 01:21:41,451
Melo,

1174
01:21:42,469 --> 01:21:43,971
you should walk away now.

1175
01:21:44,538 --> 01:21:45,539
I get it.

1176
01:21:46,139 --> 01:21:47,139
Truth hurts.

1177
01:21:52,411 --> 01:21:56,099
[Cole] Melo can't stay out of
anybody's business, can he?

1178
01:21:56,166 --> 01:21:57,166
["We Will Smoke" playing]

1179
01:21:57,233 --> 01:21:58,902
[Barrett] He doesn't have to.
He's that good.

1180
01:21:58,936 --> 01:22:02,089
[Cole] Now Street Profits set to defend
the Tag Team Titles.

1181
01:22:05,976 --> 01:22:07,311
["We Will Smoke" fades out]

1182
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:17,554
["Shatter" playing]

1183
01:24:05,262 --> 01:24:06,263
["Shatter" ends]

1184
01:24:09,650 --> 01:24:11,969
[Cole] Well, the Wyatt 6 are here.

1185
01:24:12,553 --> 01:24:14,938
Made their appearance
on Friday Night Smackdown

1186
01:24:14,972 --> 01:24:16,089
about a month ago, Wade,

1187
01:24:16,156 --> 01:24:19,492
when they interrupted a Street Profits
Tag Team Championship Match

1188
01:24:19,559 --> 01:24:21,911
and then went on to take out
all the tag teams

1189
01:24:21,945 --> 01:24:23,547
on Friday Night Smackdown.

1190
01:24:28,117 --> 01:24:31,321
So here we go. Montez Ford
is going to start things off

1191
01:24:31,355 --> 01:24:36,460
against Dexter Lumis,
who portrays Mercy the Buzzard.

1192
01:24:39,346 --> 01:24:45,585
[Barrett] The Wyatt6 have attacked
every single tag team on Smackdown

1193
01:24:45,619 --> 01:24:48,455
since returning, showing no mercy.

1194
01:24:49,072 --> 01:24:52,459
Now they've finally got
what they wanted, a shot at the gold.

1195
01:24:52,492 --> 01:24:54,545
[Cole] Yeah. Montez Ford, Dexter Lumis
starting things off now.

1196
01:24:54,611 --> 01:24:57,063
Tag Team Championship Match is underway.

1197
01:24:58,532 --> 01:25:00,784
Street Profits,
the current Tag Team Champs

1198
01:25:00,817 --> 01:25:05,455
and Lumis, who has been described
as a tortured artist

1199
01:25:05,489 --> 01:25:07,574
throughout much of his career.

1200
01:25:08,575 --> 01:25:12,062
Finally found a group
that he could cling to

1201
01:25:12,094 --> 01:25:15,999
that shared a lot of the same ideals
and tag made.

1202
01:25:16,032 --> 01:25:19,987
And here comes Joe Gacy
with a big right hand.

1203
01:25:20,053 --> 01:25:24,525
[Barrett] Well, this entire crew of Wyatts
are a bunch of whack jobs

1204
01:25:24,558 --> 01:25:27,027
no matter how you slice it,
and Lumis isn't even legal.

1205
01:25:27,059 --> 01:25:30,080
[Cole] And Gacy now,
who portrays Huskus the Pig Boy,

1206
01:25:30,112 --> 01:25:31,732
off the senton, into the cover now.

1207
01:25:31,764 --> 01:25:36,469
Angelo Dawkins is gonna pull Gacy
off the potential victory.

1208
01:25:36,536 --> 01:25:38,038
[Barrett] Just get the sense
that these Wyatts--

1209
01:25:38,071 --> 01:25:40,523
Someone's not quite…
[speaking indistinctly]

1210
01:25:40,590 --> 01:25:42,626
[Cole] At ringside,
speaking of the tag teams,

1211
01:25:42,659 --> 01:25:45,512
the Wyatt6 have targeted
Fraxioms out here.

1212
01:25:45,579 --> 01:25:47,014
Los Garzas.

1213
01:25:47,047 --> 01:25:48,665
We saw the Motor City Machine Guns.

1214
01:25:49,333 --> 01:25:52,335
And Montez Ford trying to
steal the victory off the distraction.

1215
01:25:52,369 --> 01:25:53,987
[Barrett] A couple of weeks ago,

1216
01:25:54,021 --> 01:25:57,241
the Motor City Machine Guns
had their match with the Wyatt6,

1217
01:25:57,307 --> 01:26:02,411
ultimately ended up losing
and got beaten the hell out of afterward.

1218
01:26:02,478 --> 01:26:05,699
[Cole] Gacy with a clothesline
delivered to Montez.

1219
01:26:06,366 --> 01:26:08,602
Tag Team Titles on the line.

1220
01:26:08,635 --> 01:26:11,672
#DIY is out here as well.
Everyone looking on.

1221
01:26:13,523 --> 01:26:16,693
-You're here for your own good.
-[speaking indistinctly]

1222
01:26:17,678 --> 01:26:21,348
The Wyatt 6 of Dexter Lumis
and Joe Gacy have been dominating

1223
01:26:21,398 --> 01:26:24,284
Montez Ford of the Street Profits
with the tag titles on the line.

1224
01:26:24,318 --> 01:26:25,552
Ford looking to rally here.

1225
01:26:26,436 --> 01:26:29,590
[Barrett] And the powerhouse team
of the Street Profits have really been…

1226
01:26:29,656 --> 01:26:31,224
-[Cole] Oh!
-[Barrett] …manhandled

1227
01:26:31,258 --> 01:26:33,544
and dominated by the Wyatt 6.

1228
01:26:33,576 --> 01:26:35,779
It's something we have not seen

1229
01:26:35,812 --> 01:26:38,498
since the Prophet's return
to SmackDown in January.

1230
01:26:38,532 --> 01:26:41,751
[Cole] And the rest of the tag teams
on SmackDown have surrounded the ring

1231
01:26:41,785 --> 01:26:43,120
looking on at this matchup.

1232
01:26:43,152 --> 01:26:45,304
Collision, both men down,
center of the ring,

1233
01:26:45,339 --> 01:26:46,773
could be the turning point of the match!

1234
01:26:46,807 --> 01:26:51,010
Angelo Dawkins on the apron, wants to get
in here, knows Tez needs to make a tag.

1235
01:26:55,499 --> 01:26:59,286
[Barrett] That is a fired up Dawkins
on the outside and he's in.

1236
01:26:59,318 --> 01:27:00,987
[Cole] and so's Gacy.

1237
01:27:01,021 --> 01:27:06,326
And Angelo Dawkins taking out Gacy
with a couple of clotheslines,

1238
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:08,010
knocks Lumis out to the floor.

1239
01:27:10,547 --> 01:27:12,666
Dawkins, wow, what agility.

1240
01:27:12,699 --> 01:27:17,070
Ah, there's that Spinning Corkscrew Elbow
by Dawkins, who's fired up.

1241
01:27:17,704 --> 01:27:20,374
[Barrett] Well, nod to Cristiano Ronaldo.

1242
01:27:20,407 --> 01:27:24,076
Plays right here
in Riyadh for Al Nassa FC.

1243
01:27:25,512 --> 01:27:26,763
[Cole] Why'd you do that?

1244
01:27:26,830 --> 01:27:28,815
Oh, and a big headbutt by Gacy.

1245
01:27:28,849 --> 01:27:31,018
[Barrett] Signed a new 2 year contract
yesterday.

1246
01:27:31,084 --> 01:27:34,021
[Cole] I did see a picture of him
on social media, celebrating.

1247
01:27:34,087 --> 01:27:37,074
Oh, and from behind now
Los Garzas gets involved.

1248
01:27:37,107 --> 01:27:38,858
They rip Lumis out of the ring.

1249
01:27:39,358 --> 01:27:43,380
[Barrett] It was only a matter of time
before someone took a cheap shot.

1250
01:27:44,447 --> 01:27:47,634
I have to say the Wyatt6 are certainly
owed at least that.

1251
01:27:48,184 --> 01:27:49,219
[Cole] Dawkins.

1252
01:27:50,853 --> 01:27:52,239
Wiping out everybody.

1253
01:27:52,272 --> 01:27:54,508
[Barrett] Turning Lumis
into a human missile.

1254
01:27:57,661 --> 01:28:01,114
[Cole] Lumis back into the ring.
Angelo Dawkins now dragged out by #DIY.

1255
01:28:01,148 --> 01:28:03,550
-The fight gets underway outside the ring.
-[Barrett] There we go.

1256
01:28:03,584 --> 01:28:05,102
-[bell ringing]
-[Cole] Los Garzas gets involved.

1257
01:28:05,134 --> 01:28:08,889
The official has to call for the bell.
The official calls for the bell.

1258
01:28:08,922 --> 01:28:11,875
It'll be a disqualification.
And now everyone getting involved.

1259
01:28:11,909 --> 01:28:13,376
There's bodies everywhere.

1260
01:28:13,410 --> 01:28:15,879
[Barrett] Suddenly it looks like
the Royal Rumble in there.

1261
01:28:15,913 --> 01:28:20,733
Such a heated environment and
the Wyatt6 are at the boots of everybody.

1262
01:28:22,536 --> 01:28:24,087
[Cole] Lumis and Gacy are down.

1263
01:28:25,438 --> 01:28:29,059
Bo Dallas, Uncle Howdy,
sends Big Red Erick Rowan into the ring.

1264
01:28:29,092 --> 01:28:34,348
And Rowan now, Pancaking #DIY.

1265
01:28:35,081 --> 01:28:37,300
[Barrett] A one man army.

1266
01:28:37,334 --> 01:28:39,169
[Cole] Los Garzas taken out.

1267
01:28:42,723 --> 01:28:45,008
Motor City Machine Guns
may want to think twice.

1268
01:28:45,041 --> 01:28:47,477
[Barrett] God, I want this guy on my side.

1269
01:28:47,510 --> 01:28:49,730
[Cole] And Fraxiom gets into the fray.

1270
01:28:52,799 --> 01:28:56,236
Four on one, Rowan finally
sent over the top rope.

1271
01:28:56,269 --> 01:28:58,505
[Barrett] And still on his feet somehow.

1272
01:28:59,273 --> 01:29:01,391
Absolute freak of nature.

1273
01:29:01,875 --> 01:29:03,744
[Cole] Frazer caught.

1274
01:29:04,878 --> 01:29:05,896
Rowan.

1275
01:29:09,032 --> 01:29:10,983
With a big smile on his face.

1276
01:29:11,585 --> 01:29:12,585
Los Garzas.

1277
01:29:13,904 --> 01:29:18,876
[Barrett] Finally, Erick Rowan hits
the deck… [speaks indistinctly]

1278
01:29:18,909 --> 01:29:19,910
Chaos went on.

1279
01:29:20,928 --> 01:29:21,929
[Cole] Sister Abigail.

1280
01:29:27,733 --> 01:29:31,655
Uncle Howdy runs into a kick
by Martez Ford.

1281
01:29:31,688 --> 01:29:36,927
[Barrett] Simply cannot celebrate too soon
around this crew of tag teams.

1282
01:29:38,045 --> 01:29:40,531
Dawkins gonna fly!

1283
01:29:46,687 --> 01:29:47,788
[Barrett] Oh, God!

1284
01:29:47,821 --> 01:29:49,973
[Cole] Tez Ford as well!

1285
01:29:50,724 --> 01:29:52,259
Everybody's down.

1286
01:29:52,709 --> 01:29:56,597
[Barrett] Montez Ford playing
high stakes ten pin bowling,

1287
01:29:56,630 --> 01:29:58,632
and got a strike!

1288
01:30:00,884 --> 01:30:05,304
[Cole] And the Street Profits,
the Tag Team Champions, standing tall.

1289
01:30:05,339 --> 01:30:06,340
["We Will Smoke" playing]

1290
01:30:06,406 --> 01:30:10,861
But I don't believe
the Wyatt6 are through yet.

1291
01:30:13,447 --> 01:30:17,534
This mess between these tag teams
on Friday Night's Smackdown, Wade,

1292
01:30:17,567 --> 01:30:18,969
far, far from over.

1293
01:30:19,036 --> 01:30:23,941
It is the best tag team division
on planet Earth by far.

1294
01:30:23,974 --> 01:30:27,728
So much chaos, so much talent,
and so much to look forward to.

1295
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:30,947
A programming note; next week's
Friday Night Smackdown from Pittsburgh

1296
01:30:30,981 --> 01:30:34,251
is a two-hour,
two-hour Friday Night Smackdown.

1297
01:30:34,284 --> 01:30:37,387
The Smackdown goes to two hours
starting next week.

1298
01:30:37,420 --> 01:30:40,907
Well tonight on Friday Night Smackdown
we kick things off with a big matchup

1299
01:30:40,941 --> 01:30:46,013
between Jimmy Uso
and Solo Sikoa's enforcer, JC Mateo.

1300
01:30:46,530 --> 01:30:48,382
[Barrett] It turned pretty ugly.

1301
01:30:48,949 --> 01:30:53,536
Jimmy Usa was looking good,
an Olive Branch extended by Solo Sikoa,

1302
01:30:53,603 --> 01:30:55,938
but it served as a distraction,

1303
01:30:55,973 --> 01:31:00,727
and JC Mateo took Big Jim
on a Tour of the Islands,

1304
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:04,147
grabbing the three-count,
but things didn't really end there.

1305
01:31:04,181 --> 01:31:07,267
[Cole] Yeah, Solo Sikoa
offering Jimmy Uso an opportunity

1306
01:31:07,300 --> 01:31:09,635
to come back to the family,
come back in the fold.

1307
01:31:09,670 --> 01:31:11,170
Jimmy Uso said, "No way."

1308
01:31:11,205 --> 01:31:14,157
Big slap. Mateo would attack from behind,

1309
01:31:14,191 --> 01:31:18,462
and then Jimmy Uso would get
some help from an unlikely source.

1310
01:31:18,495 --> 01:31:22,081
[Barrett] It was a source
that Big Jim had helped

1311
01:31:22,115 --> 01:31:25,102
in the same scenario a week earlier.

1312
01:31:25,134 --> 01:31:27,120
This is the man, Jacob Fatu,

1313
01:31:27,154 --> 01:31:30,424
the United States Champ
who will be fighting Solo Sikoa

1314
01:31:30,456 --> 01:31:33,110
tomorrow at Night of Champions.

1315
01:31:33,143 --> 01:31:37,447
Getting a chance to send a message
to Solo ahead of that.

1316
01:31:39,266 --> 01:31:43,587
And Solo wanted no part of it one-on-one.

1317
01:31:43,620 --> 01:31:46,507
Tomorrow, different story,

1318
01:31:46,540 --> 01:31:51,378
but once again, Big Jim
coming to the aid of Jacob Fatu.

1319
01:31:58,201 --> 01:31:59,335
Yeah.

1320
01:32:00,254 --> 01:32:02,089
[crowd cheers]

1321
01:32:06,276 --> 01:32:08,779
Tonight, I didn't need your help.

1322
01:32:09,696 --> 01:32:12,382
Last week, I didn't need your help.

1323
01:32:12,965 --> 01:32:15,168
Matter of fact, is there a problem here?

1324
01:32:15,201 --> 01:32:17,920
Ain't no problem, uce. It's just respect.

1325
01:32:17,955 --> 01:32:19,656
I give respect where it's due at,

1326
01:32:19,690 --> 01:32:21,842
and the way you stepping up to Solo,

1327
01:32:21,875 --> 01:32:23,977
that's what I should have done
a long time ago.

1328
01:32:24,010 --> 01:32:25,245
That's all I'm saying.

1329
01:32:25,279 --> 01:32:27,481
Okay. Okay.

1330
01:32:28,115 --> 01:32:29,433
Check this out.

1331
01:32:29,465 --> 01:32:32,553
If you just get in where you fit in,

1332
01:32:33,219 --> 01:32:35,138
then we're gonna be all right, Big Jim.

1333
01:32:36,322 --> 01:32:38,909
And that's just keeping it one hunnid,
you feel me?

01:32:40,443 --> 01:32:41,545

tomorrow night at Night of Champions.

1339
01:32:55,125 --> 01:32:57,811
Meanwhile, here on Friday Night SmackDown,

1340
01:32:57,844 --> 01:33:02,065
the WWE Women's Championship
is up for grabs.

[Cole] Well, back in January of 2025,

1358
01:34:08,482 --> 01:34:12,920
Tiffany Stratton would cash in
her Money in the Bank contract

1359
01:34:12,952 --> 01:34:16,223
to defeat Nia Jax
and win the championship.

1360
01:34:16,255 --> 01:34:19,393
Tonight, Nia wants her title back,
but things have been heating up

1361
01:34:19,425 --> 01:34:21,077
over the past couple of weeks,

1362
01:34:21,111 --> 01:34:24,114
especially last week
on Friday Night SmackDown.

1363
01:34:26,166 --> 01:34:31,038
This is going to be a Last Woman Standing.

1364
01:34:32,039 --> 01:34:37,960
[Barrett] And it is always a bad idea
to talk smack to the face of Nia Jax,

1365
01:34:37,995 --> 01:34:40,964
and once again, just like a week earlier,

1366
01:34:40,998 --> 01:34:44,500
Tiffy was flattened
by the Irresistible Force.

1367
01:34:44,535 --> 01:34:49,489
An attempted cash in by
Miss Money in the Bank, Naomi,

1368
01:34:49,523 --> 01:34:55,012
was foiled by Nia Jax,
and while their backs were turned,

1369
01:34:55,045 --> 01:34:57,414
Tiffy struck and stood tall.

1370
01:34:57,447 --> 01:34:59,666
[Cole] And Naomi
is the wild card in all this.

1371
01:34:59,700 --> 01:35:02,568
We'll get into that story
in just a couple of moments.

1372

[bell rings]

1373
01:35:18,050 --> 01:35:23,924
The following contest
is a Last Woman Standing Match

1374
01:35:24,541 --> 01:35:30,864
and is for the Women's WWE Championship.

1375
01:35:31,697 --> 01:35:36,420
The only way to win
is to incapacitate your opponent

1376
01:35:36,452 --> 01:35:42,793
until she cannot stand
and beat the referee's count of 10.

1377
01:35:43,911 --> 01:35:48,465
Introducing first, the challenger,

1378
01:35:48,498 --> 01:35:52,786

she is the Women's WWE Champion,

-Tiffany Stratton!
-[crowd cheers]

1385
01:36:20,563 --> 01:36:22,916
[Cole] You know, for a long time,
Tiffany Stratton,

1386
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:26,937
a protegee of Nia Jax,
did a lot of Nia's bidding for her

1387
01:36:26,969 --> 01:36:29,590
over the past year or so until--

1388
01:36:29,623 --> 01:36:33,293
Oh, wait a minute, Nia Jax wasted
little time going after Tiffany Stratton

1389
01:36:33,326 --> 01:36:36,496
as referee Dan Engler calls for the bell,
and we're underway.

1390
01:36:36,530 --> 01:36:38,415
Remember the rules. Last Woman Standing.

1391
01:36:38,447 --> 01:36:41,634
No pinfalls, no submissions,
no disqualifications, no count outs.

1392
01:36:41,668 --> 01:36:45,389
You incapacitate your opponent
till they can't make it to their feet

1393
01:36:45,422 --> 01:36:47,174
by the count of 10.

1394
01:36:47,206 --> 01:36:51,094
[Barrett] This is the
ultimate physical test in WWE.

1395
01:36:51,128 --> 01:36:55,365
You have to quite literally
break your opponent

1396
01:36:55,883 --> 01:36:57,451
to secure victory.

1397
01:36:57,483 --> 01:37:00,654
[Cole] And Nia Jax already ripping
the protective pad off the top turnbuckle.

1398
01:37:00,687 --> 01:37:03,690
Tiffany Stratton sends
Nia Jax outside the ring.

1399
01:37:03,724 --> 01:37:04,808
And Tiffany Stratton now,

1400
01:37:04,842 --> 01:37:06,910
the Women's Champion,
with a baseball slide,

1401
01:37:06,943 --> 01:37:08,679
driving Nia into the
Arabic announce table.

1402
01:37:08,712 --> 01:37:11,498
And now Stratton taking the fight
to Nia Jax here outside the ring.

1403
01:37:11,532 --> 01:37:13,233
This is going to be a physical battle.

1404
01:37:13,267 --> 01:37:15,669
And what shocks me most of all
in all this, Wade,

1405
01:37:15,701 --> 01:37:18,822
is that Tiffany Stratton was actually
one to make the challenge

1406
01:37:18,856 --> 01:37:23,594
for Last Woman Standing against
the irresistible force, Nia Jax,

1407
01:37:23,626 --> 01:37:26,463
-who goes hip first into the steps,
-[Barrett] And I agree with you, Cole.

1408
01:37:26,496 --> 01:37:29,249
I have no idea
what Tiffany Stratton was thinking.

1409
01:37:29,282 --> 01:37:30,483
Your advantage against…

1410
01:37:30,517 --> 01:37:32,835
-Oh, geez.
-[Cole] Oh, goodness.

1411
01:37:32,870 --> 01:37:34,054
[Barrett groans]

1412
01:37:34,087 --> 01:37:35,956
[Cole] Steps right to Stratton.

1413
01:37:35,989 --> 01:37:37,307
Floors the champion.

1414
01:37:37,907 --> 01:37:39,393
Now… Now the official.

1415
01:37:39,425 --> 01:37:41,428
Gonna begin the count.

1416
01:37:41,460 --> 01:37:44,831
[Barrett] I'd love to say that those steps
hit Tiffany Stratton's knee,

1417
01:37:44,865 --> 01:37:48,835
but they didn't, they hit a knee,
her ribs, and the point of her jaw.

1418
01:37:48,869 --> 01:37:52,706
[Cole] And now Nia drives her into
the apron and continues the assault now

1419
01:37:52,739 --> 01:37:53,740
on Tiffany Stratton.

1420
01:37:53,773 --> 01:37:56,293
And Nia Jax is gonna clear off
our announce table.

1421
01:37:57,861 --> 01:37:59,478
You're right, just as I was…

1422
01:37:59,513 --> 01:38:03,400
I was saying, Tiffany Stratton's advantage
against Jax's movement.

1423
01:38:03,433 --> 01:38:07,187
How are you gonna move well
when Jax is about to break

1424
01:38:07,221 --> 01:38:09,289
-every bone in your body!
-[Cole] Samoan drop!

1425
01:38:09,322 --> 01:38:13,777
Right on top of our announce table,
about breaking the champion in half.

1426
01:38:14,294 --> 01:38:17,664
[Barrett] Find a part of
Tiffany Stratton's body

1427
01:38:17,697 --> 01:38:20,517
that is not bruised and battered already.

1428
01:38:20,550 --> 01:38:21,969
We're about two minutes in.

1429
01:38:23,754 --> 01:38:25,672
[Cole]
The official on a count of five now.

1430
01:38:25,706 --> 01:38:29,893
Tiffany makes it back to her feet,
but Nia will drive her back down again.

1431
01:38:29,927 --> 01:38:33,981
Nia Jax dominating the early going
in this matchup.

1432
01:38:38,468 --> 01:38:40,137
[Cole] We're on a count of five
with Nia Jax down,

1433
01:38:40,170 --> 01:38:41,255
back to her feet, though.

1434
01:38:41,288 --> 01:38:44,124
Tiffany Stratton, the champion,
top rope crossbody.

1435
01:38:44,157 --> 01:38:46,442
Lateral press
will be no cover in this match.

1436
01:38:46,476 --> 01:38:50,429
It's Last Woman Standing
for the WWE Women's Championship.

1437
01:38:52,232 --> 01:38:55,134
Tiffany Stratton now, up to the top rope.

1438
01:38:56,103 --> 01:38:58,572
Measuring Nia, center of the ring.

1439
01:38:58,605 --> 01:39:02,692
Tiffany gonna fly
for the Swanton, connecting.

1440
01:39:06,496 --> 01:39:09,148
Count of two.
Tiffany drags herself back to her feet.

1441
01:39:09,183 --> 01:39:11,518
Now the focus goes to the challenger, Nia.

1442
01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:18,075
[Barrett] Nia is stirring and Nia
is briefly, anyway, back up.

1443
01:39:18,108 --> 01:39:19,610
[Cole] Yeah, great move
by the champion, though.

1444
01:39:19,643 --> 01:39:22,346
As soon as she saw Nia Jax
getting back to her feet,

1445
01:39:22,379 --> 01:39:25,098
right back on the attack,
didn't waste any time.

1446
01:39:25,132 --> 01:39:27,217
[Barrett] I'm really impressed
with Tiffany Stratton

1447
01:39:27,250 --> 01:39:31,621
shrugging off the amount of offense
that has already been thrown her way.

1448
01:39:32,239 --> 01:39:34,558
[Cole] And now Tiffany gonna launch
herself up to the second rope.

1449
01:39:34,590 --> 01:39:37,177
Nia Jax, though, able to regain herself.

1450
01:39:37,210 --> 01:39:39,530
Tiffany up on Nia's shoulders,
this isn't gonna be good.

1451
01:39:39,563 --> 01:39:42,799
Exposed turnbuckle.
Face-first, goes Stratton.

1452
01:39:44,718 --> 01:39:46,937
[Barrett] And that might be a knockout.

1453
01:39:46,969 --> 01:39:48,705
Start counting referee.

1454
01:39:51,108 --> 01:39:52,409
[Cole] Count of two,

1455
01:39:52,442 --> 01:39:55,128
Nia Jax could be closing in

1456
01:39:55,161 --> 01:39:58,732
on what would be
her third World Championship.

1457
01:39:58,764 --> 01:40:00,784
[Barrett] Stratton is fairly stirred

1458
01:40:00,817 --> 01:40:04,021
and this count
is starting to get dangerously high.

1459
01:40:05,389 --> 01:40:06,657
[Cole] Count of seven, now.

1460
01:40:06,690 --> 01:40:08,308
Tiffany trying to use the ropes
to her advantage.

1461
01:40:08,342 --> 01:40:09,793
Count of eight.

1462
01:40:09,826 --> 01:40:14,380
Makes it back to her feet at eight,
but Nia Jax, right back on the assault.

1463
01:40:14,414 --> 01:40:17,201
[Barrett] Well, weakening clearly now,
is Tiffany Stratton.

1464
01:40:17,233 --> 01:40:20,320
That's as high as
the count has got thus far.

1465
01:40:20,353 --> 01:40:24,358
Two more seconds
and Nia Jax has the gold once again.

1466
01:40:24,391 --> 01:40:27,009
[Cole] And Nia back outside on the hunt.

1467
01:40:27,044 --> 01:40:30,063
Listen, Tiffany Stratton
is a tremendous athlete.

1468
01:40:31,114 --> 01:40:33,016
One of the best in WWE today.

1469
01:40:33,049 --> 01:40:35,602
She's been a great champion,
but it takes a different type

1470
01:40:35,635 --> 01:40:39,540
of individual to be able to compete
in a match like Last Woman Standing.

1471
01:40:40,389 --> 01:40:42,092
[Barrett] Yeah,
and I think Tiffany Stratton

1472
01:40:42,125 --> 01:40:45,579
made a major strategic error tonight.

1473
01:40:45,612 --> 01:40:48,949
I think she wants to
get rid of Jax for good.

1474
01:40:48,982 --> 01:40:51,951
And again,
this count continues getting high

1475
01:40:51,985 --> 01:40:56,440
because Jax has just been stalking her
like a zombie who will not go away.

1476
01:40:56,473 --> 01:40:57,474
[Cole] Count of seven.

1477
01:40:57,508 --> 01:40:59,893
Count of eight.
Stratton barely makes it back to her feet

1478
01:40:59,927 --> 01:41:01,512
before the ten-count again.

1479
01:41:02,478 --> 01:41:05,148
And Nia Jax, driving her
into the barricade.

1480
01:41:05,682 --> 01:41:08,701
This has been a fairly,
well, uneven match.

1481
01:41:09,385 --> 01:41:12,739
Nia Jax really taking out the champion.

1482
01:41:12,773 --> 01:41:15,342
And now placing her on the table.

1483
01:41:15,375 --> 01:41:17,861
This could be a disaster
for Tiffany Stratton.

1484
01:41:22,081 --> 01:41:25,451
[Barrett] Bit of swagger
in the step now of Nia Jax

1485
01:41:25,485 --> 01:41:28,487
who is concocting something nasty.

1486
01:41:28,522 --> 01:41:31,708
[Cole] Splashes through Tiffany
and through the table!

1487
01:41:31,741 --> 01:41:34,995
Splat goes the champion,
and this could be it.

1488
01:41:40,384 --> 01:41:43,536
Will Tiffany Stratton somehow rally here?

1489
01:41:46,406 --> 01:41:49,977
A count of five,
halfway to the title is Jax.

1490
01:41:50,009 --> 01:41:51,577
We're at six.

1491
01:41:51,612 --> 01:41:52,779
We're at seven.

1492
01:41:52,813 --> 01:41:55,398
Stratton trying to get up.
A count of eight.

1493
01:41:55,432 --> 01:41:56,866
Using the barricade.

1494
01:41:56,900 --> 01:42:00,487
At a count of nine,
drags herself barely to her feet.

1495
01:42:00,521 --> 01:42:04,441
[Barrett] 9.5, you couldn't
get much closer,

1496
01:42:04,474 --> 01:42:06,343
but what's it worth, Stratton?

1497
01:42:06,375 --> 01:42:10,781
What the hell can you throw back
after absorbing that?

1498
01:42:11,949 --> 01:42:15,434
[Cole] Well, you saw the look of disbelief
on the face of Nia Jax

1499
01:42:15,469 --> 01:42:18,355
that Tiffany Stratton, somehow,
maybe instinctively,

1500
01:42:18,388 --> 01:42:20,523
made it to her feet
before the count of ten.

1501
01:42:20,557 --> 01:42:25,045
But it could just be a matter of moments
before Jax wins another world title.

1502
01:42:26,713 --> 01:42:29,983
Oh, she already got crushed one table,
might as well take out another.

1503
01:42:33,286 --> 01:42:34,288
Or two.

1504
01:42:38,625 --> 01:42:39,860
Count of eight, once again,

1505
01:42:39,893 --> 01:42:42,179
Stratton makes it back to her feet.

1506
01:42:51,804 --> 01:42:56,242
Nia Jax with a steel chair to the ribs,
one to the spine, drops the champion.

1507
01:42:56,276 --> 01:43:00,364
Tiffany brought the chair into the match,
perhaps she wishes she didn't.

1508
01:43:01,164 --> 01:43:03,933
[Barrett] Both women gotta be hurting
so bad at this point,

1509
01:43:03,967 --> 01:43:05,768
but clearly got the worst of it.

1510
01:43:05,802 --> 01:43:08,539
[Cole] Yeah, this could be the end
of things here for Tiffany Stratton

1511
01:43:08,572 --> 01:43:10,407
if Nia Jax hits this.

1512
01:43:10,440 --> 01:43:12,358
[Barrett] The biggest weapon in the match.

1513
01:43:12,392 --> 01:43:13,492
[Cole] Annihilator!

1514
01:43:19,081 --> 01:43:20,884
And Nia's not done yet.

1515
01:43:21,985 --> 01:43:25,339
One more time,
this time with a steel chair.

1516
01:43:27,124 --> 01:43:29,576
-Annihilator on the steel chair!
-[Barrett] Oh!

1517
01:43:29,610 --> 01:43:32,079
[Cole] And Tiffany Stratton
may be down and out.

1518
01:43:32,112 --> 01:43:36,383
[Barrett] Completely
splattered Tiffany Stratton.

1519
01:43:43,824 --> 01:43:45,409
[Cole] Count of five, halfway there.

1520
01:43:45,442 --> 01:43:47,294
Halfway to the championship for Jax.

1521
01:43:47,326 --> 01:43:48,327
Count of six now.

1522
01:43:48,362 --> 01:43:51,798
Count of seven.
Stratton trying to pull herself up

1523
01:43:51,831 --> 01:43:54,384
at the ropes, and a count of eight,
a count of nine.

1524
01:43:54,418 --> 01:43:55,536
Stratton makes it to her feet.

1525
01:43:55,568 --> 01:43:58,438
Jax catches her in the ribs again
with a kendo stick.

1526
01:43:58,472 --> 01:44:00,257
[Barrett] Right on that weak spot.

1527
01:44:00,290 --> 01:44:04,611
Although saying that, where is a weak spot
not on the body of Stratton

1528
01:44:04,644 --> 01:44:06,079
after this level of abuse?

1529
01:44:06,112 --> 01:44:09,599
And Jax,
although she's taken a lot herself,

1530
01:44:09,633 --> 01:44:11,701
is looking fresh as a daisy.

1531
01:44:12,501 --> 01:44:16,356
If you're the champ, glancing up at that,
that is truly terrifying.

1532
01:44:16,389 --> 01:44:19,610
[Cole] And Nia Jax
setting up the the table now.

1533
01:44:20,410 --> 01:44:22,212
Looking for the, uh, final blow.

1534
01:44:28,501 --> 01:44:32,389
Uh-oh. With Tiffany on her shoulders,
Nia is going to climb the ropes here.

1535
01:44:34,308 --> 01:44:37,076
Gonna go up
at least one more to the second,

1536
01:44:37,110 --> 01:44:39,513
looking for a Samoan drop
through the table,

1537
01:44:39,545 --> 01:44:42,715
much like she did to the announce table
earlier on tonight.

1538
01:44:42,749 --> 01:44:44,902
Tiffany, though, trying to slide down,

1539
01:44:44,934 --> 01:44:47,487
lands on her feet,
looking for a powerbomb.

1540
01:44:47,521 --> 01:44:48,522
[Barrett] Oh, no.

1541
01:44:48,554 --> 01:44:51,058
[Cole] Powerbomb through the table
by Stratton!

1542
01:44:51,090 --> 01:44:53,427
[crowd cheering]

1543
01:44:55,946 --> 01:45:00,433
Both women are down
for the WWE Women's Championship.

1544
01:45:08,208 --> 01:45:09,375
Count of five.

1545
01:45:09,876 --> 01:45:11,745
Nia Jax beginning to stir.

1546
01:45:11,777 --> 01:45:13,013
Count of six, now.

1547
01:45:13,614 --> 01:45:15,666
Who will make it back to their feet first?

1548
01:45:15,699 --> 01:45:17,067
Count of seven.

1549
01:45:17,099 --> 01:45:18,285
Count of eight.

1550
01:45:18,317 --> 01:45:19,436
Count of nine,

1551
01:45:19,469 --> 01:45:21,505
Nia Jax beats the count, so does Stratton.

1552
01:45:21,538 --> 01:45:24,441
[Barrett] Both women up
at nine and a half,

1553
01:45:24,474 --> 01:45:27,094
although up perhaps isn't the right word.

1554
01:45:27,126 --> 01:45:28,996
-["Last Warning" plays]
-[Cole] Oh, God.

1555
01:45:29,029 --> 01:45:32,316
Well, Naomi said earlier tonight,
"I'm gonna pick my spot."

1556
01:45:32,349 --> 01:45:34,867
Maybe it will be tonight
and Miss Money in the Bank

1557
01:45:34,902 --> 01:45:36,003
heading to the ring.

1558
01:45:36,036 --> 01:45:38,956
Naomi may be looking
to cash in Money in the Bank!

1559
01:45:39,822 --> 01:45:41,074
And if she does, that means…

1560
01:45:41,107 --> 01:45:43,626
I guess she'd be a part of
the Last Woman Standing match.

1561
01:45:43,660 --> 01:45:45,629
[Barrett] Well,
a cash in didn't quite happen.

1562
01:45:45,661 --> 01:45:47,531
-Tiffany Stratton…
-[Cole] Oh!

1563
01:45:47,563 --> 01:45:49,416
…cut Naomi off of the pass!

1564
01:45:49,449 --> 01:45:53,269
[Cole] But she's gonna use the
Money in the Bank briefcase as a weapon.

1565
01:45:53,303 --> 01:45:57,441
She knows very well how to do that,
as she drives Jax into Naomi.

1566
01:45:57,474 --> 01:45:59,726
[Barrett] Well, yeah.
Two for the price of one, here.

1567
01:46:00,994 --> 01:46:02,228
[Cole] Stratton…

1568
01:46:02,262 --> 01:46:04,147
Oh! Prettiest Moonsault!

1569
01:46:09,686 --> 01:46:11,355
And now Jax is down.

1570
01:46:11,388 --> 01:46:12,389
Naomi,

1571
01:46:13,273 --> 01:46:15,092
did not officially cash in.

1572
01:46:15,125 --> 01:46:17,009
It was thwarted by Stratton.

1573
01:46:18,144 --> 01:46:21,748
[Barrett] Split-second away from it,
but the damage might be done here,

1574
01:46:21,782 --> 01:46:24,000
[Cole] Count of six.
Nia Jax, down and out.

1575
01:46:24,034 --> 01:46:25,969
Stratton looking to
retain the championship.

1576
01:46:26,003 --> 01:46:27,855
Nia trying to make it back to her feet.

1577
01:46:27,888 --> 01:46:30,072
One last gasp by Nia Jax.

1578
01:46:30,107 --> 01:46:31,290
Just beats the count.

1579
01:46:31,325 --> 01:46:34,795
[Barrett] You cannot keep Nia Jax
down for ten.

1580
01:46:34,827 --> 01:46:36,096
It is impossible.

1581
01:46:37,214 --> 01:46:39,199
-Too strong.
-[Cole] Uh-oh.

1582
01:46:39,232 --> 01:46:41,617
Two tables perched outside the ring there.

1583
01:46:41,652 --> 01:46:43,019
Nia Jax…

1584
01:46:43,620 --> 01:46:47,290
Evil intentions,
looking for a suplex of Stratton.

1585
01:46:49,209 --> 01:46:50,994
And Nia hung up on the top rope.

1586
01:46:54,665 --> 01:46:55,682
Stratton…

1587
01:46:55,715 --> 01:46:59,119
[Barrett] About as dangerous a place
as you can be for Jax!

1588
01:46:59,152 --> 01:47:00,571
[Cole] And using the briefcase…

1589
01:47:00,603 --> 01:47:02,438
Jax through both tables!

1590
01:47:07,027 --> 01:47:09,862
Nia Jax is down and may be out!

1591
01:47:10,914 --> 01:47:12,182
Count of four.

1592
01:47:13,267 --> 01:47:14,535
Count of five!

1593
01:47:15,669 --> 01:47:18,972
Nia Jax yet to stir, she may be out.

1594
01:47:19,005 --> 01:47:21,023
Jax may be out cold.

1595
01:47:23,576 --> 01:47:26,914
Tiffany Stratton
is the Last Woman Standing.

1596
01:47:26,947 --> 01:47:29,232
["Tiffy Time" plays]

1597
01:47:29,266 --> 01:47:31,652
[Nash] Here is your winner.

1598
01:47:31,684 --> 01:47:37,773
And still, WWE Women's Champion,

1599
01:47:37,808 --> 01:47:42,429
Tiffany Stratton!

1600
01:47:42,462 --> 01:47:47,300
[Barrett] Wow, what an absolute car wreck
of a matchup.

1601
01:47:47,334 --> 01:47:51,321
The entire ringside area
has been destroyed,

1602
01:47:51,355 --> 01:47:56,360
but Tiffany Stratton
showed the drive, the durability,

1603
01:47:56,393 --> 01:47:59,161
the desire to retain the gold.

1604
01:47:59,196 --> 01:48:01,264
[Cole] Yeah,
incredible performance tonight

1605
01:48:01,882 --> 01:48:03,366
by the Women's Champion.

1606
01:48:04,684 --> 01:48:07,737
[Barrett] And how that
wasn't the end is beyond me,

1607
01:48:07,771 --> 01:48:11,575
but this is the moment we thought
history was about to be made,

1608
01:48:11,607 --> 01:48:15,228
Miss Money in the Bank,
Naomi, trying to cash in,

1609
01:48:15,262 --> 01:48:17,697
split-second later,
it would have happened.

1610
01:48:18,565 --> 01:48:21,919
[Cole] And then Tiffany Stratton
would use the Money in the Bank briefcase

1611
01:48:21,951 --> 01:48:23,303
to her advantage,

1612
01:48:23,337 --> 01:48:25,606
driving Nia Jax through two tables.

1613
01:48:25,639 --> 01:48:29,026
We learned a lot
about Tiffany Stratton tonight.

1614
01:48:29,058 --> 01:48:31,879
Tiffany Stratton
is the Last Woman Standing.

1615
01:48:31,911 --> 01:48:36,782
Tiffany Stratton is still
your WWE Women's Champion.

1616
01:48:42,139 --> 01:48:45,291
Well, what a hell of a match up here
tonight on Friday Night Smackdown, Wade.

1617
01:48:45,325 --> 01:48:48,594
Last Woman Standing,
Tiffany Stratton, impressive tonight.

1618
01:48:48,629 --> 01:48:50,264
Incredible stuff from Stratton.

1619
01:48:50,297 --> 01:48:54,418
Matches like that make guys like me feel
so happy to be retired

1620
01:48:54,451 --> 01:48:57,254
and able to watch
from the relative safety of this booth.

1621
01:48:57,286 --> 01:48:59,289
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
a couple of programming notes.

1622
01:48:59,322 --> 01:49:03,759
I want to remind everyone that this coming
Monday Night Raw on Netflix

1623
01:49:03,794 --> 01:49:06,429
has a special start time,
live from Pittsburgh.

1624
01:49:06,463 --> 01:49:09,066
It will be 6:00 Eastern,

1625
01:49:09,098 --> 01:49:11,285
3:00 on the West Coast
in the United States.

1626
01:49:11,317 --> 01:49:14,338
Again, 6:00 p.m. Eastern,
3:00 p.m. Pacific

1627
01:49:14,371 --> 01:49:15,856
for Monday Night Raw on Netflix.

1628
01:49:15,889 --> 01:49:21,010
And then next week, Friday Night Smackdown
will move to 2 hours each and every week.

1629
01:49:21,044 --> 01:49:24,197
Now we get ready for tomorrow night's
Night of Champions.

1630
01:49:24,231 --> 01:49:26,683
Special start time,
8:00 here in Saudi Arabia,

1631
01:49:26,717 --> 01:49:29,452
1:00 on the East Coast,
10:00 in the morning on the West Coast.

1632
01:49:29,486 --> 01:49:31,621
And it's the King of the Ring
tournament finals

1633
01:49:31,655 --> 01:49:35,157
where we'll see Cody Rhodes,
the American Nightmare.

1634
01:49:35,192 --> 01:49:36,910
Take on Randy Orton.

1635
01:49:36,943 --> 01:49:41,447
The winner gets a World Championship
opportunity at SummerSlam.

1636
01:49:41,481 --> 01:49:44,067
[Barrett] And not only that,
United States Champ,

1637
01:49:44,101 --> 01:49:47,221
the Samoan Werewolf, Jacob Fatu

1638
01:49:47,254 --> 01:49:53,410
puts it on the line against family member,
former buddy, Solo Sikoa.

1639
01:49:54,294 --> 01:49:57,380
[Cole] Karrion Kross has been
the devil on the shoulder of Sami Zayn

1640
01:49:57,414 --> 01:49:58,799
for many months now.

1641
01:49:58,831 --> 01:50:01,168
Finally, Sami Zayn has had enough.

1642
01:50:01,684 --> 01:50:03,871
The Underdog from the Underground,
Sami Zayn,

1643
01:50:03,904 --> 01:50:07,424
will try to take out Karrion Kross,
live tomorrow night.

1644
01:50:08,125 --> 01:50:12,629
[Barrett] And we just saw some carnage
between Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax.

1645
01:50:12,663 --> 01:50:16,967
We're getting even more tomorrow
in a Street Fight.

1646
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:22,054
There's two powerhouses,
Rhea Bloody Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez,

1647
01:50:22,089 --> 01:50:25,776
who have so much history together
and even more bad blood.

1648
01:50:25,808 --> 01:50:28,327
They go one-on-one tomorrow
at Night of Champions.

1649
01:50:28,362 --> 01:50:29,996
[Cole] And tomorrow night
at Night of Champions,

1650
01:50:30,030 --> 01:50:33,901
we will crown the Queen of the Ring.

1651
01:50:33,933 --> 01:50:36,937
Will it be the Empress of Tomorrow,
Asuka from Monday Night Raw

1652
01:50:36,969 --> 01:50:40,240
or The Storm from
Friday Night Smackdown, Jade Cargill.

1653
01:50:40,273 --> 01:50:43,861
We'll find out the winner for the
