[Triple H] Then.
Now.
Forever.
Together.

[Cole] For the final time ever, John Cena will main event SummerSlam.
[Rhodes] We have to give it up for the GOAT, John Cena.
Are you kidding me?
Cody Rhodes is champion!

[crowd chants] Cena! Cena! Cena!
[crowd cheering]
[crowd cheers]
[Nash] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome The Greatest of All Time…
[crowd cheers]
[Nash] …the Never-Seen 17,
celebrating with each and every one of you here in Montreal
for last time…
[crowd cheering]
…he is The Last Real Champion,
John Cena!
[crowd cheers]
[crowd chants] Cena! Cena! Cena!
Damn!
Man, we have come a long way.
You know, for the longest time,
WWE was afraid to come to Montreal.
[crowd boos]
Oh, hey, hey. That's no secret. Y'all know what I'm talking about.
A lot of history in this building, right? We know what I'm talking about.
They were afraid, right? They were afraid
because they thought the audience would hijack the show.
[crowd cheers]
I have never ever been afraid of that
'cause I've always known the audience is the show.
[crowd cheers]
[crowd chants] Cena! Cena! Cena! Cena!
If you're watching at home, sometimes you just gotta let them go,
and I know you wish you were here, and I can see why the WWE is afraid.
They got every right. I mean, look around. There are people everywhere.
[crowd cheers]
The noise in here is deafening. I can barely hear myself talk.
[crowd cheers]
Man, you can even feel the energy at home through your screens.
[crowd cheers]
So imagine being somebody back there trying to plan a show around you guys.
Or maybe somebody standing here.
Sometimes it can get scary when y'all start singing.
[crowd chants, sings]
♪ Olé, olé, olé, olé ♪
♪ Olé, olé… ♪
[chanting continues]
So some performers might get scared. They might be afraid.
They might say, "Uh, what do I do?"
If there is one thing
y'all have taught me over the years,
one thing I'm very grateful for,
it is that even though I might be afraid,
I face my fears head on.
I lean into them, and I go like hell and let you sing and let you do your thing
and embrace and enjoy every single second.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[crowd chants] Cena! Cena! Cena!
Because, uh, trust me, it doesn't last forever.
[crowd chants] Thank you, Cena! Thank you, Cena!
[chanting continues]
[inaudible]
[chanting continues]
I've been coming here for over two decades.
I have…
I've had shared many, many valuable moments in this ring.
Man…
Thank you.
[crowd cheers]
You guys know that, uh, after tonight,
I got 11…
Eleven of these left.
[crowd boos]
That's… I'm starting to understand that.
And I just want you to know that as far as being afraid,
every single time a day goes by, I get more and more afraid.
And I thank you for that.
[crowd applauds, cheers]
I want to lean into this for a second
because it's important that I get it off my chest.
You guys… you guys put up with me for a while,
so I wanna… I wanna lead with honesty and vulnerability.
I'm afraid that no matter how much I can give to you in this limited time
that I'll never be enough, and I'm just gonna end up letting y'all down.
[crowd exclaims]
And I'll also admit that I am very afraid of after I'm gone,
and the WWE moves on as it should,
you guys are gonna forget about me.
[crowd] No!
[crowd chants] No! No! No!
I got all these fears on my mind.
Heck, I'm even afraid of Brock Lesnar.
[crowd boos]
I don't know in what universe me right now would ever actually choose
Brock Lesnar as an opponent.
But you and I, we've known each other for a long time.
And you know there is no universe
in which I ever backed down from Brock Lesnar.
[crowd cheers]
Am I afraid? Yes.
Am I afraid? Hell yes.
I'm afraid Brock Lesnar just got himself a John Cena problem.
[crowd cheers]
I am afraid that every single WWE superstar
just got themselves a big old John Cena problem.
[crowd cheers]
Time is winding down,
and if any of y'all saw SummerSlam,
you know that I am not going down without a fight.
So, Brock Lesnar, when you want some…
-[crowd] Come get some! -…come and get some!
And to anyone brave enough to walk the aisle
and stand on this canvas to face off
with The Last Real Champion,
just know that I plan on going down guns blazing.
[crowd cheers]
The last time is now.
So if you want some…
[crowd] Come get some!

[crowd boos]
Stop. Just hear me out.
John, whatever this is--
[crowd boos]
Whatever version of you this is, John, it's making me sick.
Hey, hey. I-I respected you, John.
I really did, but now I don't even know you.
[crowd boos]
-Montreal, what you whining about? -[crowd booing]
At least Logan Paul never switched up!
No, John.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Oh, you might have just made the biggest mistake of your life.
[crowd cheers]
We'll see about that, John Cena.
[crowd boos]
Let me tell you something. You don't know who you are.
These people don't know who you are.
I've been real since day one, okay?
And whether you guys like it or not,
John Cena said it himself.
"Logan Paul does WWE better than any professional wrestler."
[crowd boos]
And that includes you.
Whoa. Hold on, hold on. He might be right about that. I said that.
Logan Paul does WWE better than any professional wrestler, including myself.
I'd also like to say that Logan Paul is the biggest dumbass I've ever seen…
[crowd cheers]
[Cena] …in my life.
John Cena is a liar!
He came out here.
He says whatever he says. The bosses tell him what to say.
He says, "Montreal, you are the show."
False! I am the show!
[crowd boos]
And, John Cena, you turned into a charity case.
You're out here just giving out matches.
Oh, how about this? Damn, John.
-I want one. -You want a match?
I would love a match with you, John Cena.
Logan Paul versus John Cena?
[crowd cheers]
Oh, man! That sounds pretty damn good.
Be careful what you wish for, man.
You want a match with me? You sure about that?
I am damn sure, John Cena. Montreal, how's that sound?
[crowd cheers]
Logan Paul versus John Cena
in a beautiful French-speaking country…
right in the middle of France.
[crowd boos]
No, no, no. [chuckles]
No, no, no. Montreal, don't be ridiculous. You don't deserve this.
Logan Paul versus John Cena at Clash in Paris, I mean.
That's box office.
That's headline.
You gonna have these French people lining the Champs Elysees, and then--
[Barrett] Oh! Wait up!
[Tessitore] Drew McIntyre with a sneak attack
and now Logan Paul and The Scottish Warrior
are all over Cena!
[Barrett] Fresh off a glorious SummerSlam tag victory against Orton and Jelly Roll.
-Now celebrating in style. -["Kingdom" plays]
-[Tessitore] Oh, and here comes Cody! -[crowd cheering]
[Barrett] Talking about glorious SummerSlam victories,
the man who defeated Cena in that Street Fight,
the WWE Champ!
[Tessitore] Cody is taking it to Drew. Cena's got Logan!
And they rid the ring of them!
-[crowd cheers] -[shouting]
Logan Paul against John Cena, Clash in Paris, I accept.
[Rhodes] Come on!
But it seems like you two wanna fight.
[crowd cheers]
And it seems like I might have a partner.
[crowd cheers]
Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul
face Cody Rhodes and John Cena tonight.
-[crowd cheers] -[Tessitore] Wow!
-The champ is here! -[crowd] …is here!
[crowd cheers]
["The Time Is Now" plays]
[Tessitore] Just five days removed from their war,
five days removed from a battle of Cena and Cody
that brought out the best in each other.
And now the shared mutual respect being by each other's side,
and they're gonna team up tonight, Wade.
[Barrett] Oh, man, we got the best of both worlds right there.
Logan Paul versus John Cena
at Clash in Paris at the end of August.
Yet the good people of Montreal are getting themselves a showdown
later on tonight.
[Tessitore] And you can just feel it in this place.
John Cena and Logan Paul. Oh, what a night.
Glad you're here with us in Montreal, and you see some of the great history
that this magnificent city has had with WWE, having hosted four PLEs.
But man, oh, man.
Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett. Can we just get right to it?
Because Cena mentioned it, 14,747,
a sellout here at the Bell Centre.
And doesn't it just feel right with Cena and talking to Stuey
and running down with hustle?
-Oh! -He's back!
The GOAT is back, and it sounds like these people have yelled themselves
into a major main event this evening.
I cannot wait. They may break the noise scale.
On a night when we also have more action in this red-hot tag team division.
Excuse me, Alex, Chris,
your tag team TLC match at SummerSlam
was as physically taxing as it was unforgettable.
Tonight, do you feel recovered enough to take on yet another physical toll
when you go against Solo's MFTs?
Do we feel recovered enough? Do I look recovered enough?
If he takes his jacket off, he can see his shoulders taped up like a mummy.
And there's no doubt about it, that match was brutal,
but we've made an entire career-- nay--
a legacy out of getting knocked down and getting back up.
And we know that if we want a shot at those tag team titles,
we gotta get back up.
Look, we can be honest with ourselves.
We didn't get the job done at SummerSlam.
We are not the champions right now,
but we know exactly what it takes to become champions.
We've been champions our entire career. Tonight, our road back to the top begins.
-Ready? -Born ready.
-Thank you, Cathy. -Let's do this.
-Thanks guys. -["Raise Your Fist" playing]
[Tessitore] The Motor City Machine Guns, the former champs.
Like the five other teams who were gunning for the Wyatt Sicks,
they were so close to regaining gold last week
in that SummerSlam TLC match.
[Barrett] From bandages to brutality,
no slowing down for the Motor City Machine Guns
who may be overextending themselves here tonight.
[bell rings]
[Nash] The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first from Detroit, Michigan,
with a combined weight of 412 pounds,
Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin,
Motor City Machine Guns!
[Tessitore] As now the tag team division resets itself a bit,
Sabin and Shelley against Solo's MFTs,
that's next.
Logan Paul versus John Cena at Clash in Paris.
I mean, that's box office.
That's headline.
You gonna have these French people lining the Champs Elysees, and then--
[Barrett] Well, it was a trap all along.
Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul fresh off a SummerSlam tag victory,
launching a brutal beatdown of John Cena
when Cody Rhodes appeared to even the score, flattening McIntyre,
flattening Logan Paul and taking both men out of the ring, saving John Cena.
Logan Paul against John Cena, Clash in Paris, I accept.
McIntyre and Logan Paul
face Cody Rhodes and John Cena tonight.
[crowd cheers]
[Tessitore] I mean, that's outrageous. A week ago, you couldn't believe it.
Now it just feels right.
Just announced. John Cena, Cody Rhodes, tag team partners tonight.
It's happening right here in Montreal against Logan and Drew McIntyre.
That's coming up later on.
Motor City Machine Guns with all their experience across various promotions,
but their first time that they've ever competed in Montreal.
First time since coming on WWE that they've been a tag team in Canada.

[Tessitore] Hey, the last time we saw Solo,
he and the MFTs, they were overtaking our SummerSlam postshow,
doing whatever they want because they were celebrating, Wade,
Solo's steel cage title defense win over Jacob Fatu.
[Barrett] Yes, indeed. SummerSlam Sunday. Jacob Fatu handcuffed to the steel cage.
It looked like it was gonna be an inevitable win for Sikoa
until Jacob Fatu broke the handcuffs and started causing carnage
until Talla Tonga booted the steel cage door into the head of Fatu
and Solo Sikoa scored a victory.
Now the frustrations of Fatu boiled over post match
with this stunning moonsault off the top of the steel cage,
while Solo Sikoa left with the US Championship still in hand.

[Tessitore] Incredible display at SummerSlam.
[Barrett] The Motor City Machine Guns tasted disappointment
and a large dose of pain in losing out to the Wyatt Sicks
in TLC at SummerSlam and immediately getting back into the firefight tonight
with some real savages.
This may not be a smart move from the Motor City Machine Guns,
but you have to admire the toughness and grittiness of these two Detroit boys.
[Tessitore] Alex Shelley trying to take it to JC Mateo right away.
JC Mateo and Talla Tonga,
the first official match where they are tag teammates.
[Barrett] Yeah, and what a difference in the experience as tag team partners
between Motor City Machine Guns.
Twenty-plus years together, and it's showing in the early goings here.
[Tessitore] You see the baseball slide as they take out both men,
and then five-hole goes Chris Sabin to the outside!
[Barrett] Well, you wouldn't guess that the Motor City Machine Guns
were falling 20 feet off ladders just a few days ago.
Immediately on top here.
[Tessitore] See the effects of that TLC match.
Wade, I thought they were very honest-- as they come in on Mateo--
and just assessing what they went through as well as where they now stand.
Are they going for Skull and Bones at this juncture this early?
[Barrett] Well, you want to end it as quickly as you can,
especially with someone like Talla Tonga patrolling the outside of the ring.
[Tessitore exclaims]
[Barrett] Hey, how's those ribs now, Alex Shelley?
The MFTs in control.
[Tessitore] A sold-out Bell Center,
14,747 for Friday Night SmackDown here in Montreal.
As Talla Tonga, the chief enforcer of Solo Sikoa--
there is the United States champion--
he has been brutalizing Alex Shelley of the Motor City Machine Guns.
[Barrett] Talla Tonga is the chief of whatever he wants to be,
but that was a smart move by Alex Shelley.
Desperately trying to crawl over, but JC Mateo, this ball of muscle,
has got other ideas.
[Tessitore] Able to get the feet up.
Alex Shelley, you see the bandaged ribs. Critical to get the tag on Chris Sabin.
And here comes Sabin! Cross body!
[Barrett] Busted up shoulder trying to block out the pain
and now unloading on JC Mateo who is barely budging.
[Tessitore] A compact powerhouse at 5'10", nearly 270 pounds.
It takes everything Sabin can give.
Springboard DDT!
That's something to give! Into the cover for the win.
[Barrett] Hugely impressive effort here.
Through the pain, Chris Sabin with that springboard DDT there connecting.
You see the grimace on the face of the Motor City Machine Guns with every move,
trying their best to block it out and get this one over with
as quickly as humanly possible.
[Tessitore] And this may be what they need to do.
The double team combo work as he was for the roll up against Mateo.
-[Barrett] And even kick outs are painful… -[Tessitore] Yes.
[Barrett] …for the Motor City Machine Guns.
There's impact with everything, every twist, every turn.
Even a tag probably wrenches the shoulder of Chris Sabin.
[Tessitore] Sabin and Shelley getting to the big Talla Tonga.
Oh, and the double clothesline by Mateo,
the 2004 Summer Olympian who now looks to get the best every which way.
Slamming down Sabin, hooking the leg.
Oh, and the save from Shelley.
A damaged Shelley after the tables, ladders and chairs match
at SummerSlam.
[Barrett] This one breaking down in a hurry.
Just one pop to those ribs of Alex Shelley is all it takes.
-Boom! They're back! -[crowd exclaims]
[Tessitore] Super kick as they do best. In sync.
Big boot all the way up and over the top rope!
Talla Tonga!
Monstrous chokeslam from his seven-foot frame.
-[bell rings] -["Taking It All" plays]
[Nash] Here are your winners,
JC Mateo and Talla Tonga!
[Barrett] Well, it felt from the word go like the Motor City Machine Guns
needed a miracle tonight.
They clearly didn't get one,
but they did get this seven foot-plus chokeslam to Chris Sabin.
A carcass already wracked with pain just took even more damage
and the continued acquisition of power and notoriety
from Solo Sikoa and the MFTs continues.
[Tessitore] Look at what he's assembled
-with Tonga Loa center and the other two. -Montreal!
[crowd boos]
Take a look because this is what greatness looks like.
[crowd boos]
You are looking at the soon-to-be WWE Tag Team Champions.
[crowd boos]
You are looking the most dominant United States Champion.
[crowd boos]
And it's a shame
because I'm all dressed up.
I'm in my gear. I'm ready to fight.
I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good in Montreal.
But there is nobody back there to fight me.
So I tell you what we're gonna do.
Me and the MFT, we're gonna leave this crappy city…
[crowd boos]
…because this is the last place that I want to wrestle at.
[crowd boos]
So let's go, boys. Let's go celebrate, huh?
-Not so fast, Monsieur Sikoa. -[crowd cheers]
Since you have no problem running your mouth,
and since you claim to be ready for a fight,
it just so happens that I have a special guest in the house tonight
who's also ready for a fight and ready to go right now.
He's someone you know quite well,
but he's someone Montreal, Quebec, knows very well.
[crowd cheers]
-["Worlds Apart" plays] -[Barrett] Oh!
[cheering]
[Tessitore] In his hometown, Wade!
[crowd] Let's go!
-[Tessitore] The pride of the Quebecois! -[crowd vocalizing "Worlds Apart"]
[Tessitore] Sami is here!
[Barrett] In the words of Pat Patterson, this place just went banana.
[Tessitore] The ultimate les habitant stepping to Solo Sikoa.
Let's do this!
-[bell rings] -As moments ago, Wade…
I mean, just to describe to folks what we witnessed
with the surprise of Sami Zayn coming out
to take on the challenge put forth by Solo Sikoa.
But how rare is it to see a ring entrance where the crowd is on their feet,
they don't stop, and he circled the entire Bell Center floor?
[crowd singing "Olé, Olé, Olé"]
[no audible dialogue]
[crowd cheers]
[Barrett] Now these conditions are completely unfair to Solo Sikoa
who can't hear himself think.
These people singing in French.
[crowd chanting] Sami! Sami! Sami!
[Barrett] So Solo Sikoa, who didn't even get a chance to warm up here,
let me add that.
[Tessitore] Unfair to Solo Sikoa?
A guy who took the mic and said, "We run this show now."
Solo, the MFTs, run this show now.
And he was feeling himself, looking for a fight
and issued a challenge.
Well, the challenge was answered, and it's Montreal's favorite native son.
[Barrett] Now to be clear, there's some major history between Sami and Solo,
they ran together as part of the OG Bloodline not so long ago,
but Sami refused to go with Solo
when Solo splintered off with his own group.
[Tessitore] Of course you go back to January 6th, the Raw Netflix debut.
-When Solo was in … -[crowd] One, two, three, four, five, six!
…Tribal Combat against Roman Reigns, and Sami interfered with that match.
[Barrett] These two have been tearing strips off each other.
At War Games at Survivor Series at the end of last year too.
[Tessitore] That's right.
[Barrett] Major continuing bad blood it seems.
What a moment it would be for the US Champ Solo Sikoa to come into Sami's hometown
and teach this man a lesson.
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Sami!
[Tessitore] And you hear the crowd rallying support for Sami.
[crowd] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
[cheering]
[Tessitore] Oh, they can't get enough!
[Barrett] Sami Zayn riding some major momentum out of SummerSlam,
defeating Karrion Kross.
Perhaps exorcising that particular demon for good.
And Sami can do no wrong here. Everything is working for the local man.
[Tessitore] Zayn goes flying!
Crowd goes wild!
[Barrett] Right now, in the middle of danger is Sami Zayn.
MFT is everywhere you look,
and that is not a pretty sight for anybody.
[Tessitore] Tama, JC, Loa surrounding him.
This is the danger zone with the MFT.
[Barrett] The MFTs are fully aware the referee was watching everything there,
they want victory, then they want to salvage Sami Zayn in the process.
Both are crucial.
[Tessitore] Able to put that elbow up. Oh, look at Tama Tonga!
But the referee had his back turned.
[Tessitore] Over the course of the past few critical moments of this match,
Sami Zayn has absorbed punishment from Tonga Loa, JC Mateo, and Tama Tonga.
And Solo Sikoa tries to get him up top, but instead-- Look at Sami, look at Sami!
[Barrett groans]
Just when Solo Sikoa was going for broke,
this sunset flip powerbomb from the second rope
almost pulls off a major shocker.
See the panic in the eyes of the MFTs on the outside of the ring.
Expecting Solo Sikoa to lead by example with a big dump.
[Tessitore] And as these fans have noted throughout Sami's incredible career,
his resilience,
-his ability to get up and fight on. -[Barrett] Oh…
Solo Sikoa is one big dude,
and the lower back of Sami Zayn felt all of that.
[Tessitore] Possibly trying to get him in position for a Thunder Bomb.
Remember, a massive main event is set to come your way
-with Cody and John Cena… -[Barrett] Oh! Spinning Solo!
[Tessitore] …teaming up against Logan and Drew McIntyre.
The Spinning Solo will not put it away.
That Spinning Solo Slam, and Sami still finds a way to survive.
[Barrett] Won countless matches,
but out of the frying pan and into the fire for Sami Zayn,
who is getting pummeled by the street fighting champion of the islands,
and it could be good night here.
[Tessitore] That Samoan Spike is ready to launch.
Sami's a sitting duck.
[Barrett] And all the people of Quebec have to watch it go down this way.
[Tessitore] Oh, Sami gets his boot up!
[Barrett] The fire just will not die out inside Sami Zayn.
[Tessitore] Exploder! Could this be?
[crowd cheering]
[Barrett] Sami Zayn is just supercharged this evening.
-Tonga Loa knew it. -[Tessitore] Oh man, oh man!
Just when he was thinking Helluva.
And Tonga Loa-- Oh! Another Exploder!
Sami's got another chance!
[Barrett] The MFT's trying their best to break up the rhythm here,
but Montreal simply won't allow it.
[Tessitore] And would you look at JC Mateo.
[Barrett] The options are endless when you're the MFTs.
[Tessitore] And now the massive Tama Tonga is up on the ring apron.
And Sami as brave as ever says, "Why don't you try me?"
-[Barrett] Is it brave or is it naive? -[Tessitore] Oh!
[Barrett] Naive coming out here in the first place.
-Oh, wait! -[Tessitore] There's a roll-up!
-There's a roll-up! There's a roll-up! -[Barrett exclaims]
-[Tessitore] Oh! A quick one! -[bell rings]
["Worlds Apart" plays]
-Sami did it! -[Nash] Here's your winner,
Sami Zayn!
[Tessitore] In the great traditions of Montreal's Pat Patterson
stretching to this hometown hero.
Sami! Crafty! Victory!
["Worlds Apart" continues playing]
[Tessitore] What a show!
A sell-out here at the Bell Center.
And their guy, their native son, gets that win.
[Barrett] And it only gets hotter from here, Joe Tes.
'Cause as we heard earlier tonight,
we have got a banger main event on deck
as Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre team up
against the WWE Champ Cody Rhodes and John Cena.
Hey, champ number two. So I know it's your birthday.
I know it's your birthday tomorrow.
Well, I didn't know. I saw it on the company calendar.
But anyways, I thought it'd be really nice to get you something for your birthday.
So I got you something.
-Thank you. -You don't have to thank me.
You're welcome.
-Where is it? -[stammers]
You think I'd give it to you in the hallway?
No, you need like a stage. Grandiose. People.
You're gonna love it.
Oh, God, now what?
[static]
We will never lead you astray.
When we speak,
it will always bear truth.
That is what we've always sought out to do.
We have shown them all
that their power is nothing more than just a harmless illusion.
We woke them up from their dreams
and made them realize the true reality they've kept hidden.
We've made that very clear.
This is not about fame or glory.
It's about something so much bigger.
But there are more lessons to be learned.
The Wyatt's story…
…written in red,
has only just begun.
[laughing]
[sighs] I mean, like, what does that even mean?
Well, look who it is.
First, you lose our tag team titles to the Wyatts
and then you nearly killed Candice.
You don't need this, you mother killers.
-Look at her leg. -Look what you did.
[B-Fab] Hey, she looks fine to me.
And besides, last time I checked, it was her man and her man's best friend
-that pushed her off of the ladder. -You don't know how dominoes work.
And she wasn't gonna get those titles anyway.
First of all, we're lucky my leg is even so attached to my body.
Secondly, how dare you? How dare you? How dare you?
I went home, my son cried.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Yo, yo, yo.
Nobody told her to climb the ladder in the first place.
-Its a ladder match. -Hold on, Dawks.
Wait, wait, wait. Y'all talking to the wrong person.
Y'all should be talking to Mr. Husband of the Year.
[arguing indistinctly]
All right!
You know, I would have thought after you all nearly killed each other
last weekend at SummerSlam in that Tables, Ladders and Chairs match,
that you would have calmed down and stopped acting like maniacs.
[scoffs] But what a silly goose I was for thinking that.
But you know what?
I'm gonna get control of this tag team division
if it's the last thing I do.
And it's gonna start next week
with DIY versus the Street Profits on SmackDown.
Oh, my throat.
W-We'll see, we'll see. I mean, his throat, her leg.
-You'll be there. -We'll think about it.
-Appreciate it. -We'll consider it. It's a maybe.
[Tessitore] Gargano still icing his voice box.
-["All Hail the Queen" playing] -[Tessitore] We got a birthday surprise.
♪ Bow down ♪
♪ All hail the queen ♪
[Barrett] Fresh with a nice piece of hardware earned at SummerSlam,
we'll get into that in a second.
The queen is back on top.
["The Fury" playing]
[Tessitore] Great week of celebration for Alexa and Charlotte.
[Nash] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions,
Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair!
[Tessitore] Last weekend, they became champs,
then they immediately defended on Monday Night Raw
and now get to enjoy it all here in Montreal.
Wade, that MetLife win, that was extra special.
[Barrett] Yeah, this past Saturday at SummerSlam.
Major victory for these two,
and the celebration is continuing here tonight.
We take you back to SummerSlam, and here was the friendly fire moment
that looked like this team was gonna be nuked for good.
Here comes Charlotte to get a payback.
Or is she? No! Cooler heads prevail.
And one Sister Abigail DDT later, we got new Women's Tag Champs.
From allies of convenience to the top of the world in four short weeks.
Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, your Women's Tag Team Champs.
Oh, it looks so good, Lexi. Oh my goodness, Montreal.
[crowd cheers]
You know, Lexi,
your birthday falls at the same time as our championship celebrations
and I could have made this all about me,
but I decided to be gracious and share the spotlight.
You know, two celebrations, one stage.
[chuckles] I would have said, "You're welcome",
but since I'm in such a giving mood,
how about we start right here.
[Bliss] It's a cake.
With your name on it.
No. Your name's right here. Right here.
-Where? -Right there. "Alexa". It fits.
[laughs] You know what, that's not the only present.
I have one more present that made me think about me.
I mean, you. I mean us.
No, it's collectively kind of for like the both of us.
It's right here. So excited to give it to you.
Yeah, you didn't… You didn't need to do that.
Yes, I did.
Charlotte, we're just tag team partners. No, you didn't.
Yes, I did!
-Charlotte, I'm scared. -Oh my gosh, you know what, I'll open it.
Ugh.
Wait, so do you remember what you gave me four years ago?
-Oh? -[Flair] It's Lily.
Aw. Lily.
Look, Lily has a "We're not friends", "We're not friends" T-shirt.
-Oh, we match. -[Flair] Isn't it cute?
Okay, and since we're tag partners,
I thought Lily needed a tag partner as well.
[crowd jeering]
I know, I know.
It was a present that I kept, even if it was really ugly,
but it all worked out.
Charlie.
I know it's really ugly, but it's the sentiment that counts.
-[Bliss] Charlotte. -Look.
[crowd chanting] Charlie! Charlie! Charlie!
See? I knew you'd like Charlie.
Look, we're tag partners, they're tag partners.
We're not friends, they're not friends.
Charlotte. [chuckles]
-I know I shouldn't have. [chuckles] -Thank you.
You know what? I appreciate that.
But I need something else from you.
That's not enough. I need something.
Montreal needs something.
[crowd cheers]
You may hug me.
[crowd cheering, clamoring]
Charlotte, I don't know if that's really necessary.
You may hug the queen, Lexi.
Come on.
Bring it in.
Little closer.
-A little-- -["Hot Mess" theme plays]
-[Barrett] Oh! -[crowd cheers]
[Tessitore] Oh, man.
[Barrett] Canada's sweetheart has returned home!
-Get up and applaud! -[Tessitore] The utterly exhausting…
-[Tessitore] You call her "sweetheart"? -Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Look people, I'm a proud Canadian,
but listening to you cheer
these self-absorbed American born weirdos.
No, no, no. You guys have me wanting to turn in my passport.
Oh, but then again, girls, we are in Montreal.
And judging for their love for the Habs, they don't see champions often.
[crowd booing]
Charlotte, Alexa,
I don't know what you think you're doing
parading your freaky, tacky little dolls around here,
celebrating God-only-knows what.
We are in my country.
We should be celebrating my homecoming.
[crowd jeering]
Celine Dion, who? [laughs]
What?
You know what Lexi, I have one more gift for you.
And that'll be kicking Chelsea's ass tonight.
[crowd cheers]
-We're busy. We're busy. -[Flair] No. Come on.
-[Tessitore] Chelsea looking for the exit. -Ladies, ladies.
-[Tessitore] Oh, no. -Whoa, Chelsea. So sorry to interrupt.
But, you know, I thought such a special occasion,
I'll tolerate wrestlers making matches on the fly again,
and you know, I figured, Lexi, happy birthday.
I, too, have a gift for you. It's a brand new referee.
And his first assignment
will be Chelsea Green versus Charlotte Flair right now.
[screaming] No!
[Tessitore] You see, that's common sense leadership, Wade.
[Barrett] Nicholas Aldis, you are the dirt worst!
[Tessitore] Thank you, Nick. Thank you, Charlotte.
Extra birthday gift for Alexa delivered now.
-[laughing] Melo! Come here, man. What's-- -Hey, no. No. Nah. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Where you been at?
You left me hanging high and dry for like 2 months.
You said you was gonna take me to the top and you dipped out.
-What's up with that? -You know what? You're right.
-And you deserve better. -I do deserve better than that.
And that's why I'm gonna go get myself a US title shot right now.
You know what? You do deserve a United States Championship title shot,
-but it takes time. -[scoffs]
I've been here for 20 years. John Cena waltzes in and gets main events.
I beat John Cena.
Logan Paul walks in, gets marquee matches. I brought Logan Paul into WWE.
And Alexa Bliss, it's her birthday. My birthday's in 2 months.
Okay, but Mike, we're talking about you.
We're supposed to be talking about me.
And that's why I'm gonna go handle my business on my own.
You know what? You're right.
That's why I went to Nick Aldis and I got us a tag team match next week.
Because we need to remind people exactly who Carmelo Hayes is,
and you are him!
Because we are Melo Don't Miz!
And we are awes-him!
We good?
Yeah, we're good.
That's what I'm talking about.
What was that about?
Just the man I wanted to talk to. Can we speak in your office?
-Okay. -Great.
[Tessitore] Well, the Miz plotting as here we are.
Right to action with the queen, Charlotte Flair
against the Northland nuisance in Chelsea Green.
-[Barrett] Beg your pardon? -[Tessitore] Who completely…
And she's so exhausting with the way she does it.
Interrupted what was a wonderful birthday celebration
that Charlotte was putting forth for a Alex Bliss.
Right at the moment where she was about to hug her
and they were gonna use the F word, "Friends"!
[Barrett] What a nasty creature you truly are, Joe Tess.
You're almost as bad as Nicholas Aldis who has put Chelsea Green in this position.
[Tessitore] And Charlotte decided the extra birthday present.
She just walks right over Chelsea and then delivers a big kick.
[Barrett] Well, this is gonna be a birthday booty-whooping,
according to Charlotte Flair.
Here's your treat, sit back and enjoy this.
[Tessitore] And The Secret Hervice… Oh, she just hangs her on that top rope.
And then comes on the attack as Charlotte chops away,
getting out of the way.
[Barrett] Charlotte Flair really is looking back to her best
since linking up with Alexa Bliss.
The weight of the world off her shoulders,
but right now, it's Chelsea Green in complete control.
Chelsea just looking lovely in lilac this evening.
[Tessitore] Charlotte turns things around and gives those Flair chops.
And to your point…
You see Alexa Bliss' birthday weekend has arrived. For Bliss…
To your point, this incredible journey, this happy, now fan adored,
energized version of Charlotte Flair with the friendship with Alexa Bliss,
the partnering.
[Barrett] Are we saying friendship? Is that official?
-Hey, listen. -I thought they weren't using the F word.
[Barrett] Oh!
[Tessitore] They were about to hug it out a couple of minutes ago
before Chelsea interrupted.
[Barrett] We don't know that the hug was ever gonna be executed,
and we may never know the way--
[Tessitore] Whoa, did you see that crossbody from over halfway across…
And then into the cover.
[Barrett] Well, that's the freak athleticism of Charlotte Flair
that has led her to the greatest resume in women's wrestling history.
[Tessitore] She was on the other side of that logo, was Flair.
[Barrett] Hervice there with a major distraction,
allowing Chelsea Green back on top here.
[Tessitore] Reminder, you saw it moments ago,
Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre against Cody Rhodes and John Cena.
That's coming up.
Roll up by Flair.
-Oh, face first into the turnbuckle. -Oh, right into the turnbuckle, Wade.
[Barrett] I don't know if that was intentional from Chelsea,
but it was certainly highly effective.
Why not give another one for good measure? Oh!
[Tessitore] Face first right into that second turnbuckle.
[Tessitore] Sometimes you just get a gift in this world--
[Tessitore] Would you sit down?
Why are you saluting?
[Tessitore] Spectacular night here in Montreal.
There is the birthday cake that Charlotte Flair had made
for her tag team partner, world champions now,
Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.
A birthday celebration for Bliss was rudely interrupted by Chelsea Green.
Flair said, "You want to go right now?"
Aldis made the match, the general manager, and here they are.
[Barrett] Charlotte Flair is never happy
unless she's throwing down between those ropes.
And what a show she has now given here. Turning this one around in a major way.
[Tessitore] Chop after chop.
And this sold-out Bell Centre is loving it. 14,747 here.
Oh, the walk-over clothesline!
[Barrett] Wooing their heads off.
And Charlotte Flair is loving every second.
[Barrett] Oh, my God.
[Tessitore] And Flair with the suplex.
High-angle German there.
Surprisingly, Chelsea Green bouncing up.
Not quite sure she's aware where she's at.
[Tessitore] You can see the dominant form of the 14-time champion.
As Chelsea's able to land the kick, and Charlotte returns fire.
Natural Selection!
[Barrett] Shot-for-shot here and…
[Tessitore] Into the cover to close it out. Teach her a lesson.
Oh, but the kick out. And getting the shoulder up.
[Barrett] How good is Charlotte Flair?
Just riding through that storm,
taking a beating for about five-plus minutes there,
shrugging it off and doing what she does best.
[Tessitore] See Alexa Bliss off to the side.
Tag team partner here to support Charlotte Flair
after the birthday celebration was underway.
And now Charlotte runs into that big boot.
[Barrett] Chelsea's turn to show her toughness.
Criminally "undersolved."
Put aside the extracurriculars and Chelsea Green is A-plus in that ring,
and she's proven it tonight.
[Tessitore] And Chelsea able to meet her with that right hand
and then go up top herself.
And now Chelsea with Flair in position.
Looking to turn things around. Superplex!
And could that put Chelsea in position?
And Charlotte able to get that left shoulder up.
[Barrett] Kicked out just about in the nick of time,
but that was a sluggish kick out from Charlotte Flair.
But if Chelsea Green can drop the hammer here,
she is getting a major singles victory.
[Tessitore] You see, she looks over to Alba and Piper.
What is she saying to them?
-They're pointing to the cake. -[Barrett] She's hungry.
[Tessitore] She's ordering the giant birthday cake.
This massive sheet cake for Alexa Bliss.
She wants it in the ring.
[Barrett] Like a powerbar halfway through a--
[Tessitore] Look at how they're serving it up!
What in the world is she thinking?
[Barrett] Tuck in Chelsea, you've earned it.
-Oh, no. -[Tessitore] Oh, Bliss off the apron.
Wipes out The Secret Hervice!
[Barrett] Oh, she's not gonna eat the cake, somebody else is!
-She's going for… -[Barrett laughs]
[Tessitore] Is she going Unprettier into the cake?
[Barrett] Oh, yes!
-[Barrett] Oh, no! -[Tessitore] Charlotte reverses it. Oh!
-[Tessitore laughs] -[crowd cheers]
[Tessitore] Oh, the counter Unprettier. And she eats the cake!
How good is that?
-Let's just ruin Chelsea Green's diet. -[Tessitore] Oh, that's the best of all.
[Barrett] And now she can't see to defend herself!
Charlotte tastes it and says, "Yeah, the frosting's good."
-And so is a Figure-Eight Leglock! -[bell rings]
Oh, that's just beautiful!
["All Hail The Queen" plays]
[Nash] Here is your winner as a result of submission,
Charlotte Flair!
[Barrett] How is that not a disqualification?
If that was a steel chair, it would have been a disqualification.
[Tessitore] A disqualification?
She's the one that brought the sheet cake into the ring.
[Barrett] She didn't use it against her opponent though.
Charlotte Flair used it! Those are the rules, Joe Tess.
Who is this referee anyway?
I've literally never seen him before in my life.
[Tessitore] That's friendly right there.
That is friendly right there, sharing birthday cake, Wade Barrett.
[crowd cheers]
Still to come tonight.
Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre against Cody Rhodes and John Cena.
Cody and Cena together less than a week after their SummerSlam thriller.
How about that for a main event? Coming your way in moments.
As we go backstage to Cathy Kelley. Cathy.
Well, Tess, send some cake backstage
because we also have some celebrations in order.
I'm here with WWE women's champion Tiffany Stratton.
High-caliber showing this Saturday at SummerSlam,
retaining that title over Jade Cargill.
You've been on quite a run. Very impressive.
So what is next for Tiffany?
Cathy, I'm gonna keep doing what I have been doing for the past 216 days,
and that is keeping my title and defending it.
So if…
[crowd cheers]
Listen, be thankful that your foot found the rope
or you'll be standing here empty handed, and I'll be shining my new title.
Listen, next time the story is gonna be different.
The story may be different, but the outcome will always be the same.
With me as your WWE women's champion.
-Trust that. -[chuckles]
Hi, Cathy, yep, you can go now.
We're good here. This is off the record.
Yeah, thank you.
You may not know me, Kiana James. I represent Giulia.
I couldn't help but overhear,
if you're serious about getting that title around your waist, don't hesitate to call.
If I take that title, I'm gonna do it on my time, my way.
-Well, why don't you just hang on to that. -Just in case.
-So, you gonna do something with that or… -[scoffs] No, you got it.
Thank you. I might give that one with the glasses a call,
try to get myself a US title shot, you know.
[chuckles]
I believe that I'm allowed to use violence
to stop a greater violence from happening.
And if you think that for some reason that makes me evil,
there is no such thing as good or evil.
You want to know the difference between good and evil?
It's just your convictions.
See, the entire crowd cheered and laughed in awe
as he was planning to throw me through a table.
I'm not an eye for an eye kind of guy, Damian,
I am an eye for a head, a eye for a limb,
a eye for a life kind of guy,
and that's why I exacerbated the violence I put upon you.
And I even told him that violence begets violence.
And where is he now? Oh, yeah, that's right.
He's, uh, sitting at home nursing a hairline fracture in his jaw.
Do you want to know what the difference is between you and me, Priest?
You see, when somebody pushes you, you push back.
With someone who pushes me, I push them off the cliff,
and I will stand at the edge of that cliff
waiting to hear that smack.
If that's what makes you people consider me to be a scapegoat.
So be it.
[crowd cheers]
You back!
You really back!
Thank you, Jesus. If you back, I'm back.
We back. [exclaims]
-Get in here! Oh, we back, John. -[laughs]
We back, John. Oh, we back in the saddle.
Man, I was really worried about you.
You started acting really weird for, like, five months.
-You know, you changed your hair. -Me?
You were really mean to people, or beating people up.
Remember you made that kid in Brussels cry?
[chuckles] And then you said you wanted to ruin wrestling.
I mean… [scoffs] …come on, did you really think that would work?
But it's good to have you back.
[Tessitore] It's just too good.
-[Barrett] Turning the tables on R-Truth. -[Tessitore] Just too good.

The Maverick, Logan Paul!

[Tessitore] The Maverick who fearlessly opened his mouth again,
right off the top tonight and thus this.
[Barrett] And thus he also gets a match against John Cena
at Clash in Paris at the end of August.

[Barrett] I'm gonna recalibrate my brain that John Cena is no longer WWE champion.

[Tessitore] McIntyre, who openly expresses how much he's been enjoying
this newfound connection to Logan Paul.
Most recent weeks spent tormenting Jelly Roll, delivering Claymores.
Now the target's gonna be a lot tougher.
Four of the biggest names in the industry in tag team action.
Live from Montreal next.

including Sami Zayn avoiding the Spike

[Nash] And his tag team partner from Atlanta, Georgia,
weighing in at 222 pounds,
He is the new Undisputed WWE champion,
The American Nightmare,
Cody Rhodes!
[Tessitore] You see the top of that résumé with two times now as the headliner.
And Cody focused and right back to business.
It's been great to see him taking a well-earned quick victory lap this week.
The emotion, sharing it with all of us,
but perhaps this night the best of all here in Montreal.
The full embrace, the true teaming with John Cena
to seal the back-end of their masterful shared history,
earned with respect in that epic Street Fight.
[Barrett] Cody is a man who feels the need to constantly prove himself.
Only interested in the very biggest of challenges.
Said he wanted the best version of John Cena at SummerSlam.
Needed to know he could beat the best.
No impostors, well, he got that and more at the main event at SummerSlam
and came away once again as WWE champion.
Congrats, QB1.
[Tessitore] As Cody And Logan will get things started.
[Barrett] These two have thrown down in the past.
King and Queen of the ring in 2024,
hell of a battle with Cody winning in the end.
[crowd chanting] Cody, Cody Rhodes!
-[Tessitore] And just listen to 14,747. -[crowd cheers]
The appreciation for The American Nightmare.
[Barrett] Personnel alone in the ring right now,
this is effectively a PLE main event in terms of star level.
What a treat we are getting here on SmackDown.
I don't understand French, apparently.
[Tessitore] Just slamming him back down with the delayed vertical.
[Tessitore] S'il vous plaît, John Cena.
But instead the quick roll up attempt by Logan.
[Barrett] Take your eye off Logan Paul at any point because this is what happens.
[Tessitore] Well, and this is who's now by his side, the 6'5", 285 pounds,
he told us earlier today, Drew McIntyre.
[Barrett] Former WWE tag team champ
with the man he's beating up right now, Cody Rhodes,
albeit 15 years ago, we're a long way removed from the time as The Dashing Ones.
[Tessitore] Viper-like powerslam from Cody Rhodes.
[Barrett] Huge strength disparity between these two,
but that's never scared Cody Rhodes before.
You'll be very careful around this Scottish psychopath,
and, of course, Logan Paul.
Oh, Glaswegian kiss!
[Tessitore] Yeah, turn around for one second,
bad things can happen when you're in there with McIntyre.
[Barrett] Nobody does it better than McIntyre.
Comes to dropping human beings with a noggin.
And now Cody Rhodes like a sack of spuds thrown out the ring.
-[Barrett] Oh! -Big, huge clothesline from Logan Paul.
As Drew gathers the attention,
the referee over there in the corner with John Cena
and Logan quickly back up to the apron.
[Barrett] What do we always say, chemistry in tag teams.
Take another look at this.
Logan Paul making sure the camera caught it.
The cheap shot to the jaw of Cody Rhodes,
and it's all going the way of McIntyre and Paul tonight.
[Tessitore] Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett with you here in Montreal,
a sellout at the Bell Centre, 14,747.
When the night opened, John Cena gave an emotional address,
a gratitude-filled speech to this crowd here.
It was interrupted by Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre,
and then they jumped all over him.
Cody Rhodes came to his aid.
And now it's John Cena trying to come to Cody's aid
because Cody's been taking a beating and is desperate to make that tag, Wade.
[Barrett] Talk about emotional,
John Cena's gonna start crying if this tag doesn't happen soon
'cause Cody's getting mauled in there.
[Tessitore] Crowd has been chanting "We want Cena. We want Cena."
Can they get their beloved John Cena?
[Barrett] And McIntyre just completely overcommitted,
the WWE champ Cody Rhodes moving out of the way just in the nick of time.
It has to be now or never. Can this tag happen?
-It's there! -[crowd cheers]
[Tessitore] One last time in Montreal for John!
The shoulder blocks.
The release slam!
[crowd cheers]
[crowd] You can't see me!
[Tessitore] Five Knuckle Shuffle north of the border!
And how about an AA?
Cena for the win!
[Barrett] No! McIntyre with his wits about him, saving his buddy,
saving this match for his team.
And McIntyre has now lost it, rage in the eyes.
-[Barrett] Oh, Cody with the save. -[Tessitore] Oh!
Cody interrupts the Claymore attempt.
And he goes flying out to the floor.
[Barrett] Now the two legal men are left in there.
[Tessitore] Oh, that was a low blow!
-That was a vicious low blow… -[bell rings]
…by Logan Paul.
[crowd booing]
[Barrett] Logan Paul is a natural-born winner.
Simply does not like to lose.
May have lost this one by disqualification.
But apparently the fight with Cena continues and…
What on earth is going on here?
Security in the back apparently gonna be dealing with that one.
[Tessitore] As Cody and Drew continue to fight on.
Oh, no. He's gonna destroy our desk here.
He wants to do damage to Drew McIntyre.
[Barrett] And these people in this arena are begging for--
[Tessitore] Oh, he just hit him with the title!
Come on, Drew, what are you doing?
[Tessitore] Drew just took down Cody Rhodes with the title
right across his head.
[crowd booing]
[Tessitore] As he stares at it.
The well-earned gold that Cody got back.
[Barrett] Championship that has consumed the thoughts,
the ever-darkening thoughts of Drew McIntyre for several years now.
He has been tantalizingly close on numerous occasions
only to have it snatched away,
often by dubious means,
and that has spiraled McIntyre for a hell of a long time.
[Tessitore] As Cody is damaged. And look at the eyes of Drew.
He's enraged.
Oh, my God. Oh, no!
Oh, he's just…
[Barrett] Oh, my God, a Claymore has splintered the desk.
[Tessitore] He just… Look how Cody…
[Barrett] The skull of Cody Rhodes…
[Tessitore] Right through the wooden front,
the solid wooden front of our announce desk.
[Barrett] Take another look at this. McIntyre with a Claymore.
As heinous an assault as you will ever see.
We have a major incident here.
-[Tessitore] This is not good. -Cody is in a bad way!
[Tessitore] Cody who entered tonight on top of the world.
[crew member] Drew, get out of there!
[Tessitore] There's grave concern.
[crew members clamoring]
[Tessitore] His entire upper body,
his head went through the hard wooden front of the announce desk.
Cody's in bad, bad shape here in Montreal. of the announce desk.
