and since tea was tossed into the harbor,

it's been America's original
big fight city

8
00:00:47,397 --> 00:00:50,500
where North End punchers
and Southie brawlers

9
00:00:50,534 --> 00:00:57,074
have represented generations
of roaring fans right here at TD Garden,

10
00:00:57,107 --> 00:01:01,345
hosting Friday Night SmackDown
for the 19th time.

11
00:01:01,995 --> 00:01:07,884
And one nasty, maddened,
deranged big man will explain himself.

12
00:01:07,917 --> 00:01:12,155
The Scottish Warrior Drew McIntyre
is here in Boston.

13
00:01:12,189 --> 00:01:17,244
The final moments of last week's SmackDown
has so many of us concerned.

14
00:01:17,277 --> 00:01:20,479
He bashed Cody Rhodes with the title
and then that Claymore kick

15
00:01:20,514 --> 00:01:23,550
of the Undisputed Champion
through the hardened wooden front

16
00:01:23,584 --> 00:01:24,634
of the announce desk.

17
00:01:25,536 --> 00:01:26,820
[security] Drew, get out of there!

18
00:01:27,454 --> 00:01:32,109
[Tessitore] And then hovering
and taunting of fallen and damaged Cody.

19
00:01:32,142 --> 00:01:36,128
We will hear from McIntyre as to why
and try to figure out what it all means.

20
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,783
Welcome inside one of the most
history-rich venues

where the banners

00:01:47,875 --> 00:01:51,445
And where some of the most loyal
WWE fans always know,

Look, this past Monday,

101
00:07:50,621 --> 00:07:54,157
I think everybody's heard me talk
for weeks, for months

102
00:07:54,191 --> 00:07:55,676
about becoming a world champion.

103
00:07:55,709 --> 00:07:58,529
That's all I've been talking about
is becoming a world champion.

104
00:07:58,561 --> 00:07:59,813
This past Monday,

105
00:08:00,631 --> 00:08:03,549
if I had beaten Rusev,
there was a very real possibility

106
00:08:03,584 --> 00:08:06,537
that I could have been fighting
for the World Championship

107
00:08:06,570 --> 00:08:10,457
at Clash in Paris,
but now that's not happening, okay?

108
00:08:12,342 --> 00:08:17,030
Now when that happened, Solo,
I was furious, okay?

109
00:08:17,063 --> 00:08:20,433
I was furious,
but I felt something else too.

110
00:08:22,236 --> 00:08:25,621
I felt liberated…

111
00:08:27,674 --> 00:08:31,411
because I've been talking so much
about becoming a world champion,

112
00:08:31,445 --> 00:08:33,313
and it had to be now, now, now!

113
00:08:33,347 --> 00:08:36,582
I started putting all this pressure
like it had to happen now

114
00:08:36,616 --> 00:08:40,670
that it stopped me from accomplishing
anything else in WWE.

115
00:08:40,703 --> 00:08:43,023
I was spinning my wheels.

116
00:08:43,055 --> 00:08:45,492
And at least now that that's away for me,

117
00:08:45,526 --> 00:08:48,495
I can kind of go back
to doing other things,

118
00:08:48,529 --> 00:08:50,697
other things that I set out to do.

119
00:08:51,415 --> 00:08:55,102
So I guess this is me saying…

120
00:08:56,569 --> 00:08:58,038
thank you.

00:08:59,706 --> 00:09:01,675

00:09:11,568 --> 00:09:12,569
That's the thing, Solo.

125
00:09:12,603 --> 00:09:17,908
Now it made me realize
there's so many other things in WWE

126
00:09:17,941 --> 00:09:19,293
that I haven't done yet.

127
00:09:19,326 --> 00:09:21,978
So many other things
that I want to accomplish.

128
00:09:22,012 --> 00:09:23,430
Here's a fun fact.

129
00:09:23,463 --> 00:09:25,432
Besides the World Championship,

130
00:09:25,464 --> 00:09:30,654
there is one other title
that I have never held in WWE.

132
00:09:35,459 --> 00:09:39,913

the United States Championship.

-[Solo] This one?
-[Sami] Yeah.

135
00:09:46,252 --> 00:09:47,688
Well, guess what, Sami,

136
00:09:47,721 --> 00:09:50,473
you're not gonna hold it
anytime soon, okay?

137
00:09:50,507 --> 00:09:54,694
So you can use those big-ass eyeballs
and take a look all you want.

138
00:09:54,728 --> 00:09:57,297
You know what, Sami?
You don't even go to SmackDown.

139
00:09:57,331 --> 00:10:00,500
You're on Raw, so you're never
gonna hold this championship.

get the hell out of my ring.

came out here to tell you.

as Talla Tonga stands over Jimmy Uso.

00:12:02,756 --> 00:12:06,894
after being cost
the United States Championship

177
00:12:06,927 --> 00:12:10,113
at SummerSlam in the steel cage match.

178
00:12:10,146 --> 00:12:11,865
[Tessitore] They're taking on big Talla.

179
00:12:14,968 --> 00:12:17,120
Sami and Jimmy!

180
00:12:17,938 --> 00:12:22,476
Oh, no! Look at the size
and strength of Talla Tonga!

181
00:12:23,043 --> 00:12:25,094
But that final super kick…

182
00:12:27,981 --> 00:12:29,949
And they send him over and out!

183
00:12:29,983 --> 00:12:31,117
[crowd cheers]

184
00:12:32,218 --> 00:12:34,070
[shouting, clamoring]

185
00:12:35,805 --> 00:12:37,307
[Tessitore]
What a wild start to SmackDown.

186
00:12:37,341 --> 00:12:40,794
Oh, no, no. Solo, that is no way
to welcome the newest member

187
00:12:40,827 --> 00:12:42,462
of the SmackDown roster!

188
00:12:43,296 --> 00:12:45,848
Sami Zayn, welcome to the Blue Brand.

189
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:49,368
I'm pleased to inform you
that you will be in the main event

190
00:12:49,403 --> 00:12:51,070
tonight here in Beantown.

191
00:12:51,103 --> 00:12:52,456
[crowd cheers]

192
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,075
A six-man tag team match.

193
00:12:56,108 --> 00:12:58,078
Any three of you MFTs

194
00:12:58,111 --> 00:13:03,217
versus Sami Zayn,
Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu.

195
00:13:03,250 --> 00:13:04,785
[crowd cheers]

196
00:13:05,586 --> 00:13:06,752
["Samoan Destroyer" plays]

197
00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:07,988
[Barrett] Wow!

198
00:13:08,021 --> 00:13:12,175
[Tessitore] We got ourselves
a six-man tag team match,

199
00:13:12,726 --> 00:13:15,127
the main event from here in Boston,

200
00:13:15,629 --> 00:13:18,198
and, Wade, listen,
after what happened on Monday Night Raw,

201
00:13:18,232 --> 00:13:19,348
after what happened on SmackDown,

202
00:13:19,382 --> 00:13:21,418
what a great way
to settle the past seven days

203
00:13:21,450 --> 00:13:24,103
of craziness with Sami, Solo and the MFTs.

204
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:28,824
Oh, God. We got a raucous crowd here.
We're going to get a savage main event.

205
00:13:28,858 --> 00:13:31,745
Welcome to bedlam in Boston.

206
00:13:31,778 --> 00:13:34,430
I cannot wait
and neither can these people.

207
00:13:34,464 --> 00:13:38,618
And big news that Sami Zayn now
officially part of the SmackDown roster.

208
00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:40,036
What an awesome crowd here.

209
00:13:40,069 --> 00:13:42,990
What a great stretch this has been
from what we had with the sellout

210
00:13:43,022 --> 00:13:45,192
in Montreal to here in Boston.

211
00:13:45,224 --> 00:13:47,127
Let's check in with Byron Saxton.

212
00:13:49,863 --> 00:13:51,698
Joe, Wade, thank you both very much.

213
00:13:51,732 --> 00:13:56,219
I'm currently standing by
with Chelsea Green and her Secret Hervice,

214
00:13:56,252 --> 00:14:00,156
and, ladies, as you know-- Thanks, uh…

215
00:14:00,189 --> 00:14:04,161
Piper Niven is scheduled to go one-on-one
with Alexa Bliss next… [sighs]

216
00:14:04,194 --> 00:14:07,714
…but from your perspective,
how did we get here?

217
00:14:09,082 --> 00:14:10,150
[chuckles]

218
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:14,738
How did we get here?

219
00:14:14,771 --> 00:14:16,839
I think you know exactly
how we got here, Byron,

220
00:14:16,873 --> 00:14:18,192
and you want me to say it, don't you?

221
00:14:18,224 --> 00:14:19,358
You want me to say it out loud?

222
00:14:19,392 --> 00:14:21,277
Do you want me
to spell it out for you, dummy?

223
00:14:21,911 --> 00:14:25,365
I bravely broke up
a silly little birthday celebration,

224
00:14:25,399 --> 00:14:29,736
and then I bravely took
a funfetti cake straight to the face,

225
00:14:29,770 --> 00:14:31,604
and I could have been severely injured.

226
00:14:31,637 --> 00:14:33,406
It was disgusting!

227
00:14:33,439 --> 00:14:36,093
And no one, I mean, no one…

228
00:14:36,910 --> 00:14:40,396
messes with our Canadian hero
and gets away with it.

229
00:14:41,031 --> 00:14:45,102
That's why tonight,
Piper is going to take out Alexa,

230
00:14:45,135 --> 00:14:48,889
and then the Secret Hervice are going
to confiscate those tag titles.

231
00:14:49,389 --> 00:14:51,058
Credentials next time, please.

232
00:14:51,091 --> 00:14:52,175
-[grunts]
-Move!

233
00:14:52,726 --> 00:14:55,127
Slaygent P to intel.
This is Slaygent P to intel…

234
00:14:55,695 --> 00:14:57,714
Thank you, ladies.

235
00:14:59,132 --> 00:15:00,634
-["The Fury" plays]
-[crowd cheers]

236
00:15:00,666 --> 00:15:04,438
[Barrett] Yeah, I wouldn't trust
Byron Saxton around VIPs either.

237
00:15:04,471 --> 00:15:05,488
[Tessitore] Oh, come on now.

238
00:15:05,521 --> 00:15:07,708
[Barrett] Secret Hervice
really doing their job tonight.

239
00:15:10,993 --> 00:15:11,995
[bell rings]

240
00:15:12,029 --> 00:15:15,299
[Nash] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

241
00:15:15,332 --> 00:15:19,435
Introducing first,
accompanied by Charlotte Flair,

242
00:15:19,468 --> 00:15:24,974
she is one half of the WWE
Women's Tag Team Champions,

243
00:15:25,007 --> 00:15:28,060
from Columbus, Ohio,

244
00:15:28,094 --> 00:15:33,032
Alexa Bliss!

245
00:15:33,065 --> 00:15:36,453
[Tessitore] The five-time World Champion
ready to show her stuff.

246
00:15:36,486 --> 00:15:38,722
The skill and will
versus the size and strength.

247
00:15:38,755 --> 00:15:40,207
Bliss and Piper next.

248
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:46,680
[music ends]

249
00:15:48,031 --> 00:15:51,418
[Tessitore] Great night here in Boston
for Friday Night SmackDown.

250
00:15:51,450 --> 00:15:53,270
Of course, so much history.

251
00:15:53,303 --> 00:15:58,809
Fourteen Premium Live Events
through the years with WWE in Boston.

252
00:15:58,842 --> 00:16:01,762
We told ya, 19th SmackDown TD Garden,

253
00:16:01,795 --> 00:16:04,146
where "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
won his first championship

254
00:16:04,180 --> 00:16:07,200
at a WrestleMania, and we're
so happy to be here tonight for SmackDown.

255
00:16:10,170 --> 00:16:12,406
…coming for
the United States Championship,

256
00:16:12,439 --> 00:16:15,909
and I am coming for you!

257
00:16:15,943 --> 00:16:17,728
[crowd cheers]

258
00:16:21,298 --> 00:16:24,450
[Barrett] Well, Sami Zayn
always ready to throw down.

259
00:16:24,483 --> 00:16:26,303
Foolhardy, perhaps,

260
00:16:26,335 --> 00:16:31,391
because the numbers game
of the MFTs quickly took over.

261
00:16:31,425 --> 00:16:36,663
However, pretty soon Jimmy Uso
and Jacob Fatu joined the fight,

262
00:16:36,697 --> 00:16:40,918
and together that trio flattened the MFTs

263
00:16:40,950 --> 00:16:44,404
until Talla Tonga stood tall for a second.

264
00:16:45,339 --> 00:16:47,373
And, again, was wiped out.

265
00:16:47,406 --> 00:16:52,128
And with the MFTs in disarray,
an announcement was made.

266
00:16:54,214 --> 00:16:56,817
[Tessitore] 'Course there's
a whole lot of woven history with Sami

267
00:16:56,849 --> 00:16:59,185
and the family matters
of Big Jim and Solo.

268
00:16:59,218 --> 00:17:02,622
But look at this six-man tag team match.
A whole new dynamic.

269
00:17:02,656 --> 00:17:07,661
For the first time, Sami,
Big Jim and Jacob Fatu as a united force.

270
00:17:07,694 --> 00:17:11,598
That is our main event coming up
later tonight right here from Boston.

271
00:17:14,251 --> 00:17:18,355
Some of the biggest crowd reactions we've
heard this year is caused by that dynamo.

272
00:17:18,387 --> 00:17:21,407
Alexa Bliss,
her incredible return at Royal Rumble,

273
00:17:21,441 --> 00:17:24,677
and the pairing with the
Queen Charlotte Flair to become champion.

274
00:17:24,711 --> 00:17:26,113
[theme music plays]

275
00:17:31,068 --> 00:17:32,351
[Barrett] Stand to attention, Joe!

276
00:17:32,386 --> 00:17:34,154
[Tessitore]
I will not stand at attention, Wade.

277
00:17:36,072 --> 00:17:37,808
[Nash] And her opponent,

278
00:17:37,841 --> 00:17:42,646
accompanied by
Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre,

279
00:17:42,678 --> 00:17:46,066
representing the Secret Hervice,

280
00:17:46,099 --> 00:17:49,836
from Ayrshire, Scotland,

281
00:17:49,870 --> 00:17:55,591
Piper Niven!

282
00:17:55,626 --> 00:17:57,711
[Tessitore] Honestly,
would you please sit down?

283
00:17:58,345 --> 00:17:59,346
Would you--

284
00:17:59,379 --> 00:18:02,382
[Barrett] Just have a little class.
Please for once in your life, Joe Tess.

285
00:18:02,416 --> 00:18:03,617
That's all we're asking.

286
00:18:04,918 --> 00:18:07,370
[Tessitore] Well, last week,
Piper had to deal with Bliss ringside

287
00:18:07,404 --> 00:18:09,456
on the birthday cake delivery moment.

288
00:18:10,274 --> 00:18:13,460
[Barrett] Alexa Bliss's birthday cake
brought into play.

289
00:18:13,493 --> 00:18:17,514
The plan being--
as Bliss took out the Secret Hervice--

290
00:18:17,548 --> 00:18:20,417
an Unprettier to Charlotte Flair.

291
00:18:20,450 --> 00:18:22,970
However, one reversal later,

292
00:18:23,003 --> 00:18:27,274
and it was a hot mess in the ring

293
00:18:27,307 --> 00:18:29,993
with Charlotte Flair proving
you can have your cake

294
00:18:30,027 --> 00:18:33,046
and eat it one Figure-8 later,

295
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:38,051
and the humiliation
to Chelsea Green was complete.

296
00:18:38,585 --> 00:18:43,273
Another disaster as the tag champs
roll from strength to strength.

297
00:18:45,425 --> 00:18:48,245
[Tessitore] Just to… just to get them
away from the desk. Just…

298
00:18:49,413 --> 00:18:50,898
[bell rings]

299
00:18:51,764 --> 00:18:54,717
[Barrett] It's about the first thing
you've done right all night, Joe Tess.

300
00:18:54,751 --> 00:18:56,119
More of the same, please.

301
00:18:58,088 --> 00:18:59,473
[crowd cheers]

302
00:19:02,408 --> 00:19:04,194
[Tessitore] Lilly Doll getting a big roar.

303
00:19:05,512 --> 00:19:09,166
Of course, a week ago, we saw
the Charly doll back in action as well

304
00:19:09,198 --> 00:19:12,668
That was presented.
Oh, and wasting no time is Piper.

305
00:19:12,703 --> 00:19:15,088
[Barrett] So obsessed with the Lilly Doll.

306
00:19:15,121 --> 00:19:18,825
Taking your eye off Piper Niven
is a major, major error.

307
00:19:18,859 --> 00:19:21,311
And now it's really punishment time

308
00:19:21,345 --> 00:19:24,164
after last week's antics
from the tag champs.

309
00:19:26,015 --> 00:19:30,637
[Tessitore] Piper chopping cross chop
right across the throat of Alexa Bliss.

310
00:19:31,621 --> 00:19:32,856
Get rid of this!

311
00:19:32,889 --> 00:19:35,642
[Tessitore]
Oh, she's pointing to the Lilly Doll.

312
00:19:35,676 --> 00:19:38,879
[Barrett] Well, Lilly Dolls should not be
at ringside, in my opinion.

313
00:19:38,912 --> 00:19:40,914
-Wait a second.
-[Tessitore chuckles] There's backup.

314
00:19:40,947 --> 00:19:42,182
[Barrett] Playing protector.

315
00:19:42,216 --> 00:19:44,551
I thought it was fascinating last week.

316
00:19:44,585 --> 00:19:48,621
Alexa gave Charlotte the Charly doll
you mentioned four years ago.

317
00:19:48,655 --> 00:19:52,226
The fact that Charlotte kept that gift
all of this time

318
00:19:52,259 --> 00:19:54,011
tells you everything you need to know

319
00:19:54,043 --> 00:19:58,799
about how highly she values Alexa,
even if she won't admit it publicly.

320
00:19:58,831 --> 00:20:01,068
[Tessitore]
Yeah, everything was going just fine.

321
00:20:01,101 --> 00:20:03,303
They were just about to hug
when all of a sudden,

322
00:20:03,337 --> 00:20:06,255
we had the interruption
from Chelsea and the Secret Hervice.

323
00:20:06,290 --> 00:20:08,542
[Barrett] This is smart moves
right now from Alexa Bliss.

324
00:20:08,575 --> 00:20:11,495
You have to hit and move
against the powerhouse Piper Niven,

325
00:20:11,528 --> 00:20:15,916
and doing a great job of that is
the five-time champ Alexa Bliss.

326
00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:19,086
And current tag champ powering out now.

327
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,989
[Tessitore] And Piper trying
to break free, and she does,

328
00:20:22,022 --> 00:20:23,690
sending Bliss right over the top.

329
00:20:25,576 --> 00:20:29,596
[Barrett] Now the Secret Hervice
clearly unable to protect Chelsea Green

330
00:20:29,629 --> 00:20:33,884
from that act
of major humiliation last week,

331
00:20:33,917 --> 00:20:36,102
and now there's gonna be
hell to pay for that.

332
00:20:36,136 --> 00:20:38,989
[Tessitore] Now look at Piper
just bullying Alexa Bliss.

333
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,725
Putting all her weight behind her,

334
00:20:41,758 --> 00:20:45,111
driving her throat
across that second rope.

335
00:20:46,363 --> 00:20:47,915
[Barrett]
You want to be a part of the cabinet,

336
00:20:47,947 --> 00:20:49,716
you have to earn your keep.

337
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:51,818
Extinguish all threats to--

338
00:20:51,851 --> 00:20:53,620
[Tessitore] Oh, Boss Man slam!

339
00:20:53,654 --> 00:20:57,323
And did you see the impact
from Piper Niven?

340
00:20:57,357 --> 00:21:00,060
-In control here, early.
-[crowd boos]

341
00:21:06,550 --> 00:21:09,620
[Tessitore] Piper Niven went
for a running cannonball moments ago.

342
00:21:09,653 --> 00:21:12,239
Alexa Bliss was able
to get out of the way,

343
00:21:12,272 --> 00:21:15,292
and with that opportunity, look at Bliss.

344
00:21:15,325 --> 00:21:17,010
[Barrett] Oh, my God. What a turnaround.

345
00:21:17,043 --> 00:21:21,215
It has been the Piper Niven Show
for the past five minutes,

346
00:21:21,248 --> 00:21:26,153
but one window of opportunity,
that is just how good Alexa Bliss is.

347
00:21:26,186 --> 00:21:31,942
[Tessitore] Continued offensive assault
from the five-time World Champion.

348
00:21:31,975 --> 00:21:36,330
One half of the WWE Tag Team Champions.

349
00:21:36,362 --> 00:21:39,633
Lateral press and the kick out by Piper.

350
00:21:40,617 --> 00:21:42,803
[Barrett] Yeah, Alexa Bliss
just doesn't have the size

351
00:21:42,836 --> 00:21:44,221
to keep the powerhouse down.

352
00:21:44,254 --> 00:21:47,608
That's gonna be the issue here,
keeping Piper Niven's shoulders

353
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,525
on the mat for three seconds.

354
00:21:51,477 --> 00:21:55,048
Piper Niven seemingly has no clue
where she's at right now,

355
00:21:55,081 --> 00:21:57,650
and things are getting desperate
for the Secret Hervice.

356
00:21:57,684 --> 00:21:58,685
There you go.

357
00:21:58,719 --> 00:22:00,521
[Tessitore]
Oh, the big headbutt from Piper Niven.

358
00:22:00,553 --> 00:22:02,656
[Barrett] The good old Glaswegian kiss.

359
00:22:05,792 --> 00:22:08,512
[Tessitore]
And now the cannonball comes in,

360
00:22:08,544 --> 00:22:10,797
and Bliss unable to escape it.

361
00:22:10,831 --> 00:22:12,866
[Barrett] Second time's a charm.

362
00:22:12,899 --> 00:22:14,033
[Tessitore] Oh, boy.

363
00:22:14,067 --> 00:22:17,370
[Barrett]
And gravity is about to lend a hand.

364
00:22:17,404 --> 00:22:21,140
[Tessitore] Oh, and Bliss
smart to roll towards the corner.

365
00:22:21,175 --> 00:22:22,775
Right into the DDT!

366
00:22:23,277 --> 00:22:25,279
Here's Alexa in position.

367
00:22:26,196 --> 00:22:28,732
[Barrett]
Alexa Bliss hitting top gear here,

368
00:22:28,764 --> 00:22:31,717
and you have to,
and what is Chelsea Green up to here?

369
00:22:31,752 --> 00:22:34,504
[Tessitore] I think she could be putting
herself in position for Twisted Bliss.

370
00:22:34,538 --> 00:22:35,938
-But Chelsea…
-[Barrett] Oh, no.

371
00:22:35,973 --> 00:22:38,058

Oh! Charlotte clears her on the apron!

[crowd cheers]

373
00:22:39,342 --> 00:22:41,727
[Barrett]
Pays to have an equalizer in this game.

374
00:22:41,762 --> 00:22:43,246
[Tessitore] But there's Alba Fyre.

375
00:22:43,996 --> 00:22:46,917
As Bliss had to retreat
from that position.

376
00:22:48,735 --> 00:22:49,803
The roll up!

377
00:22:49,836 --> 00:22:51,088
Here's the roll up!

00:22:51,922 --> 00:22:53,056

Charlotte Flair!

the friend, and I use that term loosely.

goodness if you're an Alexa Bliss fan.

she got the best of Chelsea Green--

Oh, and now the numbers catching up
to her with a senton from Piper!

389
00:23:30,244 --> 00:23:33,280

the point of tonight.

390
00:23:33,312 --> 00:23:34,313

Oh, right into the post goes Flair.

shameful humiliation.

394
00:23:43,290 --> 00:23:44,291
[Tessitore] Oh!

395
00:23:44,323 --> 00:23:48,529
[Barrett] And the tag champs are getting
decimated here by Chelsea Green

396
00:23:48,562 --> 00:23:50,714
and Her Majesty's Secret Hervice.

397
00:23:50,746 --> 00:23:52,515
[Tessitore]
Well, it is three-on-two, Wade.

398
00:23:52,549 --> 00:23:54,033
[Barrett] Three-on-one at this point, Joe.

399
00:23:54,067 --> 00:23:56,168
[Tessitore]
Oh, and that's not good for Bliss.

400

who you meddle with in this game.

[Tessitore] Gory Bomb, and now--
Oh, no! Piper's in position!

[Barrett] Unbridled menace
dropping the tag champs.

00:24:20,593 --> 00:24:25,482
Bad things in the future of Alexa Bliss
and Charlotte Flair, perhaps.

407
00:24:25,983 --> 00:24:27,451
[Tessitore] She is in pain.

Well, I don't know why
you're pleading for a rematch.

-You won Queen of the Ring

00:24:53,527 --> 00:24:57,231

to become a champ, unlike me.

00:29:11,735 --> 00:29:13,720
[Barrett] The Miz looks
like he's seen a ghost now.

509
00:29:13,754 --> 00:29:16,790
He's gonna have to show off
all of his veteran nous now,

510
00:29:16,822 --> 00:29:19,091
to the kid, Melo, in the corner.

511
00:29:19,126 --> 00:29:21,895
[Tessitore] Of course the Wyatt Sicks
able to capture the gold a month ago

512
00:29:21,928 --> 00:29:23,830
and able to defend and retain

513
00:29:23,864 --> 00:29:27,618
in that epic thriller that we saw
at MetLife Stadium.

514
00:29:33,206 --> 00:29:36,043
[Tessitore] Oh, and The Miz trying to
match a little fire with fire

515
00:29:36,076 --> 00:29:37,711
-against Axiom.
-[Barrett] Yeah.

516
00:29:37,744 --> 00:29:41,031
The Miz is so well rounded.
He can do lucha stuff.

517
00:29:41,814 --> 00:29:43,833
Try what you want, Axiom.

518
00:29:43,867 --> 00:29:46,386
You can't outfox the old master, The Miz.

519
00:29:52,525 --> 00:29:57,063
Look, transitioning from lucha to
catches catch can in the blink of an eye.

520
00:29:57,097 --> 00:30:00,216
[Tessitore]
Look at the athleticism from Axiom.

521
00:30:01,901 --> 00:30:03,904
Able to twist and turn.

522
00:30:05,872 --> 00:30:07,323
[Barrett] Oh!

523
00:30:07,357 --> 00:30:10,127
Shot right to the jaw of The Miz,

524
00:30:10,159 --> 00:30:13,514
who just hasn't looked quite himself
in the early going so far.

525
00:30:13,547 --> 00:30:17,083
[Tessitore] Now you can tell that,
with the style and speed

526
00:30:17,117 --> 00:30:18,752
of Frazer and Axiom.

527
00:30:18,784 --> 00:30:20,620
[Barrett] Oh, here's the problem
with Nathan Frazer,

528
00:30:20,654 --> 00:30:21,988
you can't slow him down!

529
00:30:24,091 --> 00:30:25,559
[Tessitore] Lightning fast.

530
00:30:26,393 --> 00:30:29,446
-And Miz makes a decision…
-[crowd cheers]

531
00:30:29,478 --> 00:30:31,197
…to just tag Melo.

532
00:30:31,999 --> 00:30:33,250
He says, I got it.

533
00:30:33,283 --> 00:30:35,769
[Barrett] Well, Miz… Oh!
Miz's set the table for Melo.

534
00:30:35,802 --> 00:30:37,204
And now Melo, uh,

535
00:30:37,236 --> 00:30:41,007
seemingly having all the speed.
And Melo comes to the fore!

536
00:30:41,041 --> 00:30:42,876
[Tessitore]
Be careful turning your back though.

537
00:30:43,644 --> 00:30:46,713
[Barrett] Just can't be cocky
around someone like Nathan Frazer.

538
00:30:46,746 --> 00:30:47,915
Blink and he's got ya.

539
00:30:50,367 --> 00:30:52,452
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Melo!

540
00:30:52,485 --> 00:30:54,972
[Tessitore] Would you look
at Nathan Frazer.

541
00:30:55,004 --> 00:30:57,591
This time, Melo… Oh!

542
00:30:57,624 --> 00:30:59,793
He was able to catch that leg,
but the kick came up.

543
00:30:59,826 --> 00:31:01,995
And right back to business is Axiom.

544
00:31:02,029 --> 00:31:04,130
[Barrett] Fraxiom
have been on such a hot streak

545
00:31:04,164 --> 00:31:05,716
-since arriving on SmackDown.
-Oh!

546
00:31:05,749 --> 00:31:08,135
Although, of late they've realized

547
00:31:08,168 --> 00:31:11,705
that it's simply not that easy
to keep a streak going.

548
00:31:11,737 --> 00:31:14,524
And you got to prove yourself
every single week here.

549
00:31:14,558 --> 00:31:18,579
[Tessitore] They're just a blur when
they get going, especially like this.

550
00:31:18,611 --> 00:31:22,381
Here they go,
dive after dive to the outside.

551
00:31:22,416 --> 00:31:25,836
[Barrett] So rapid and Melo Don't Miz--

552
00:31:25,869 --> 00:31:29,289
Oh! Are getting flattened
at ringside here.

553
00:31:29,322 --> 00:31:31,007
-Could barely get a shot in!
-"Carmelo Don't Miz",

554
00:31:31,041 --> 00:31:32,743
-but Fraxiom doesn't miss!
-[groans]

555
00:31:34,528 --> 00:31:36,429
The dive train here in Boston.

556
00:31:42,084 --> 00:31:44,588
[Tessitore] Friday Night SmackDown
here in Boston,

557
00:31:44,620 --> 00:31:47,774
as Carmelo Hayes,
in control right now, against Axiom.

558
00:31:47,808 --> 00:31:49,592
Carmelo Hayes, who's from Boston.

559
00:31:49,626 --> 00:31:53,664
And when he was 8 years old,
he came to SmackDown here at the Garden.

560
00:31:53,697 --> 00:31:57,751
He said he saw Rey Mysterio against
Eddie Guerrero right here at TD Garden.

561
00:31:57,783 --> 00:32:00,219
[Barrett] That's all great, Joe Tess.
But sometimes in this match,

562
00:32:00,254 --> 00:32:03,290
I feel like the emotion has got to Melo,

563
00:32:03,322 --> 00:32:06,076
'cause he's simply not listening
to Miz's instructions.

564
00:32:06,109 --> 00:32:09,096
-[Tessitore] I don't know about that.
-Well, I do know about that.

565
00:32:09,129 --> 00:32:12,783
And I would say that Melo
has got the upper hand in this one.

566
00:32:12,815 --> 00:32:16,736
-Although, look how it turned to Axiom!
-Oh, would you look at this from Axiom!

567
00:32:16,770 --> 00:32:19,223
[Tessitore] Remember, it was a week ago
when The Miz surprised Melo.

568
00:32:19,255 --> 00:32:23,577
Melo was taking his own course, trying to
put himself in position for a title shot.

569
00:32:23,610 --> 00:32:27,080
Miz was backstage,
comes from Nick Aldis's office,

570
00:32:27,113 --> 00:32:29,632
-and first rejected…
-One, two…

571
00:32:29,666 --> 00:32:30,918
And the kick out by Axiom.

572
00:32:30,951 --> 00:32:32,969
He first rejected The Miz's embrace.

573
00:32:33,003 --> 00:32:35,722
Saying, "Hey, you left me hanging
for a couple months."

574
00:32:35,755 --> 00:32:38,658
[Barrett] Well, that's fine. Miz had
other things to take care of in Hollywood.

575
00:32:38,692 --> 00:32:40,878
Now he's back.
And between himself and Melo,

576
00:32:40,910 --> 00:32:44,615
they're trying to engineer
a pathway to tag gold,

577
00:32:44,648 --> 00:32:47,668
an opportunity to perhaps
take on the Wyatt Sicks.

578
00:32:47,701 --> 00:32:51,205
But Melo needs to start listening
to Miz more.

579
00:32:51,737 --> 00:32:53,156
Follow the blueprint.

580
00:32:55,091 --> 00:32:57,410
And now this match could well turn around,

581
00:32:57,444 --> 00:33:01,532
and Fraxiom could be allowed back
in the door unless Miz can stop…

582
00:33:01,564 --> 00:33:02,882
And it's too late!

583
00:33:02,916 --> 00:33:05,852
-Tag to Frazer.
-[Tessitore] Here comes Nathan Frazer!

584
00:33:06,820 --> 00:33:10,274
And that all out speed attack
against The Miz.

585
00:33:10,307 --> 00:33:13,260
Look at him run the ropes.
Are you kidding me, Wade?

586
00:33:13,293 --> 00:33:15,529
[Barrett] Breaking the laws of physics.

587
00:33:15,562 --> 00:33:17,046
[Tessitore] How in the world?

588
00:33:17,997 --> 00:33:20,918
[Barrett] It was about seven shots
in the blink of an eye there.

589
00:33:21,601 --> 00:33:23,236
-[Tessitore] Shooting Star Press…
-One, two…

590
00:33:23,270 --> 00:33:24,271
…into the cover.

591
00:33:26,322 --> 00:33:30,343
[Barrett] And somehow Miz needs to
figure out a way to slow this man down.

592
00:33:30,377 --> 00:33:33,163
And that is easier said than done.

593
00:33:33,197 --> 00:33:35,365
And now Frazer's got that look in his eye.

594
00:33:35,399 --> 00:33:38,452
And when he goes skyward it gets scary.

595
00:33:38,485 --> 00:33:41,120
[Tessitore]
He is so dangerous off the top rope.

596
00:33:42,406 --> 00:33:44,207
Oh, he was looking for the Phoenix Splash.

597
00:33:44,241 --> 00:33:45,525
Instead, The Miz…

598
00:33:46,293 --> 00:33:48,344
-There's the roll up.
-One, two…

599
00:33:48,378 --> 00:33:50,046
The Miz able to survive.

600
00:33:50,664 --> 00:33:52,799
-[Barrett] Oh!
-Oh, and a big knee!

601
00:33:52,832 --> 00:33:55,601
And now the tag to Melo.

602
00:33:55,636 --> 00:33:58,671
[Barrett] Right, let's put him
to the sword here. Oh no!

603
00:33:58,705 --> 00:34:00,240
[Melo] Watch out.

604
00:34:00,274 --> 00:34:01,558
[Tessitore] That didn't work out well.

605
00:34:01,591 --> 00:34:03,409
[Barrett]
Attempted a Skull Crushing Finale,

606
00:34:03,443 --> 00:34:06,746
but Nathan Frazer
is just too fresh in this one.

607
00:34:08,915 --> 00:34:12,368
[Tessitore] Looking for the springboard
and Frazer was right there to meet him!

608
00:34:12,402 --> 00:34:14,371
He was right there to meet him!

609
00:34:14,404 --> 00:34:16,473
One, two…

610
00:34:16,507 --> 00:34:21,745
[Barrett] I have never seen
such a pacey individual in my life.

611
00:34:21,777 --> 00:34:24,264
How the hell do you keep up with Melo,

612
00:34:24,297 --> 00:34:28,284
and then hit this springboard
Spanish Fly from the middle row,

613
00:34:28,317 --> 00:34:31,255
-almost decapitating Melo in the process.
-One, two…

614
00:34:31,288 --> 00:34:35,424
And I have no earthly idea
how Melo kicked out of that one.

615
00:34:36,226 --> 00:34:38,962
Carmelo Hayes is simply double tough.

616
00:34:38,996 --> 00:34:40,848
But it could be good night here, Joe Tess.

617
00:34:41,464 --> 00:34:43,183
[Tessitore] Here comes Axiom.

618
00:34:45,002 --> 00:34:46,036
Oh! And Melo…

619
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,172
able to get the big boot in.

620
00:34:50,257 --> 00:34:51,641
And deliver the elbow!

621
00:34:52,192 --> 00:34:54,928
[Barrett] Hometown Melo
ain't going out without a win.

622
00:34:54,962 --> 00:34:56,295
Oh, no.

623
00:34:56,330 --> 00:34:58,415
Clocked right to the temple there.

624
00:35:00,067 --> 00:35:02,685
[Tessitore]
Axiom climbs up. There was the tag.

625
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,138
[Barrett] Oh here we go.
We've seen this before, Joe Tess.

626
00:35:05,172 --> 00:35:09,243
[Tessitore] Spanish Fly, could it be,
with the Phoenix Splash!

627
00:35:09,276 --> 00:35:11,111
If they get him in position.

628
00:35:11,144 --> 00:35:14,181
-The combo work of Fraxiom. Yes!
-[Barrett] It's the one…

629
00:35:14,214 --> 00:35:17,034
-The one-two combo that's beaten them all.
-One, two…

630
00:35:17,067 --> 00:35:19,486
-But not the… Oh!
-[Tessitore] No!

631
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,206
How did The Miz come up with that save?

632
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,241
[Barrett] Because The Miz is awesome!

633
00:35:25,275 --> 00:35:30,047
And it's about time the world started
showing The Miz some respect.

634
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,083
Flashy? No. Brilliant? Yes.

635
00:35:34,585 --> 00:35:39,256
[Tessitore]
A step up launch by The Miz saves this.

636
00:35:39,288 --> 00:35:43,577
[Barrett] 2.99 and bang!
Right on the nick of the… time.

637
00:35:44,194 --> 00:35:46,279
Two for the price of one.

638
00:35:46,313 --> 00:35:47,931
[Tessitore] That was impressive.

639
00:35:49,516 --> 00:35:54,188
Carmelo Hayes took the damage
with the combination work from Fraxiom.

640
00:35:54,221 --> 00:35:57,891
And now Frazer's looking
to put him right back in position.

641
00:35:57,924 --> 00:36:01,962
[Barrett] Frazer's got such a giant
playbook, he's always cooking up ideas.

642
00:36:03,163 --> 00:36:06,616
Defensively and offensively,
he can do it all.

643
00:36:07,534 --> 00:36:09,803
And you would not want
to be Carmelo Hayes here.

644
00:36:09,836 --> 00:36:11,471
What the hell are they trying to cook up?

645
00:36:11,505 --> 00:36:13,507
Maybe a double Spanish Fly. No!

646
00:36:14,258 --> 00:36:16,343
-Miz playing spoiler once again.
-[Tessitore] Oh!

647
00:36:16,375 --> 00:36:20,346
[Tessitore] Right on the apron,
the DDT right on the apron, Wade.

648
00:36:21,281 --> 00:36:24,634
As Frazer continues to work, putting him
in position for that superplex.

649
00:36:27,037 --> 00:36:28,372
-[Barrett] Oh!
-But instead…

650
00:36:29,740 --> 00:36:32,776
Carmelo Hayes able to counter.

651
00:36:32,808 --> 00:36:37,231
-[Barrett] Oh, God.
-Can you believe that? Midair by Hayes.

652
00:36:37,264 --> 00:36:39,433
[Barrett] The front suplex cutter.

653
00:36:39,466 --> 00:36:43,270
And this is the kiss of death now
for Nathan Frazer,

654
00:36:43,303 --> 00:36:45,189
who has no clue where he's at.

655
00:36:46,940 --> 00:36:48,692
[Tessitore]
He was going for nothing but net.

656
00:36:48,725 --> 00:36:51,678
Why in the world
did Miz just tagged there?

657
00:36:51,712 --> 00:36:53,680
-[Barrett] Boom!
-Skull Crushing Finale.

658
00:36:55,265 --> 00:36:57,100
One, two, three.

659
00:36:57,134 --> 00:36:59,203
-[Barrett] Yes.
-[Tessitore] What do you mean yes?

660
00:36:59,236 --> 00:37:01,171
Look at the face of Hayes.

661
00:37:01,205 --> 00:37:05,976
[Nash] Here are your winners.
Carmelo Hayes, The Miz!

662
00:37:06,009 --> 00:37:11,031
Melo Don't Miz!

663
00:37:11,064 --> 00:37:13,250
[Barrett] That, Joe Tess,
is a perfect example

664
00:37:13,283 --> 00:37:17,371
of why you rely on veterans in this game.

665
00:37:17,404 --> 00:37:19,873
Veterans close things out.

666
00:37:19,906 --> 00:37:21,741
And that's what The Miz did here,

667
00:37:21,775 --> 00:37:26,279
after Melo pulled out
this brilliant cutter off the top rope.

668
00:37:26,313 --> 00:37:29,616
Melo got a little too excited.
It's the folly of youth.

669
00:37:29,650 --> 00:37:35,639
But The Miz, ever present,
nails that Skull Crushing Finale.

670
00:37:35,672 --> 00:37:37,758
And surely inching closer towards

671
00:37:37,790 --> 00:37:41,377
a potential
tag championship opportunity now,

672
00:37:41,411 --> 00:37:43,380
thanks to The Miz. And…

673
00:37:43,413 --> 00:37:47,317
Melo's gonna start understanding
the bigger picture in this game.

674
00:37:47,351 --> 00:37:51,104
It's not about grabbing the headlines
for yourself all the time.

675
00:37:51,138 --> 00:37:53,674
Sometimes it's about being a team player.

676
00:37:53,707 --> 00:37:55,158
-And the Miz understands that.
-I…

677
00:37:55,192 --> 00:37:57,243
I think they got a long way to go
on communication,

678
00:37:57,277 --> 00:37:58,729
but they do get the win here.

679
00:37:59,363 --> 00:38:02,915
There are a few times that
the two of us are left speechless

680
00:38:02,950 --> 00:38:06,854
and with such concern,
with little that we can say.

681
00:38:06,886 --> 00:38:08,221
We had one of those moments

682
00:38:08,255 --> 00:38:12,326
as we were getting ready
to sign off the air last week.

683
00:38:12,359 --> 00:38:13,627
We want to let everybody know

684
00:38:13,660 --> 00:38:17,598
that there is no medical update
on Cody Rhodes,

685
00:38:17,631 --> 00:38:21,567
as we look back at the horrific attack
that took place in Montreal.

686
00:38:27,473 --> 00:38:30,060
[Tessitore]
Crow just took down Cody Rhodes

687
00:38:30,093 --> 00:38:32,429
with the title right across his head.

688
00:38:43,906 --> 00:38:45,926
[crowd clamors]

689
00:39:11,585 --> 00:39:13,921
Get out of here! Get up!

690
00:39:24,932 --> 00:39:27,901
[Tessitore] And after this short break,
coming your way,

691
00:39:27,935 --> 00:39:29,752
it is the Scottish warrior

692
00:39:29,786 --> 00:39:33,640
who did that level of damage
to the undisputed champion Cody Rhodes.

693
00:39:33,674 --> 00:39:36,026
Drew McIntyre is up next.

694
00:39:41,748 --> 00:39:43,417
[crowd cheers]

695
00:39:46,453 --> 00:39:48,471
I've noticed that Jade, and now even Nia

696
00:39:48,505 --> 00:39:52,176
are trying to lock in another opportunity
at your championship. [chuckles]

697
00:39:52,209 --> 00:39:53,359
It won't stop there.

698
00:39:53,393 --> 00:39:56,078
The longer you're champion,
the more your market value goes up.

699
00:39:56,113 --> 00:39:59,732
[inhales sharply] But so does the list
of competitors that are after you.

700
00:39:59,766 --> 00:40:01,185
I advise you get some backup.

701
00:40:01,218 --> 00:40:03,770
And there's no better security
than me and my client Giulia.

702
00:40:04,337 --> 00:40:06,406
-Well then, where is--
-Please.

703
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,009
Giulia's way too big of a star
to be dotting I's and crossing T's.

704
00:40:10,042 --> 00:40:13,197
I offer more than just protection.
I offer upgrades.

705
00:40:13,230 --> 00:40:16,283
Picture this. Brand expansion.

706
00:40:16,316 --> 00:40:20,837
Tiffany Stratton with a custom
pink championship around her waist.

707
00:40:21,672 --> 00:40:23,574
I think that the title should match
the woman holding it.

708
00:40:24,107 --> 00:40:25,107
Do we have a deal?

709
00:40:27,194 --> 00:40:28,761
I'm kind of the champion already.

710
00:40:28,795 --> 00:40:31,048
So, I don't think I need backup.

711
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,549
-So, I'm good.
-[chuckles]

712
00:40:32,583 --> 00:40:33,917
That's fine.

713
00:40:33,951 --> 00:40:37,437
But just know if you're not with us,
then you're against us.

714
00:40:37,471 --> 00:40:39,022
I understand that you're undefeated.

715
00:40:39,056 --> 00:40:42,593
That's because you have never had
to defeat someone like Giulia.

716
00:40:42,625 --> 00:40:46,263
And just because she has a title
does not mean that she can't take yours.

717
00:40:47,231 --> 00:40:48,232
[sighs]

718
00:40:49,665 --> 00:40:53,370
I think that you're kinda
getting ahead of yourself.

719
00:40:53,403 --> 00:40:56,106
If you would have actually
answered any of my calls,

720
00:40:56,138 --> 00:40:58,741
you would have known
that I got Giulia next.

721
00:40:58,775 --> 00:41:01,361
[chuckles] Yeah, well,
that'll be under advisement, okay?

722
00:41:01,395 --> 00:41:02,395
Thanks.

723
00:41:03,196 --> 00:41:04,198
[scoffs]

724
00:41:10,170 --> 00:41:12,172
["Gallantry" playing]

725
00:41:49,776 --> 00:41:51,979
[Nash] Ladies and gentlemen,

726
00:41:52,011 --> 00:41:58,551
please welcome Drew McIntyre!

727
00:41:59,069 --> 00:42:01,171
[Tessitore] Wade,
I've said it to you all week long.

728
00:42:01,205 --> 00:42:03,357
When I reflect on what happened
in Montreal.

729
00:42:03,390 --> 00:42:07,611
There was something in Drew's eyes
that was downright scary.

730
00:42:07,644 --> 00:42:11,682
And then we got the result
that was much scarier.

731
00:42:11,714 --> 00:42:12,816
That crisis.

732
00:42:12,850 --> 00:42:15,602
The great concern for Cody Rhodes's
health and welfare.

733
00:42:15,636 --> 00:42:17,738
[Barrett] That was a heinous attack we saw

734
00:42:17,770 --> 00:42:20,073
at the conclusion of SmackDown last week.

735
00:42:20,107 --> 00:42:26,180
McIntyre smashing the skull of
Cody Rhodes through our announce table,

736
00:42:26,864 --> 00:42:30,968
splintering the desk,
rendering Cody completely unconscious.

737
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,321
And we've had very little update
regarding the status of Cody.

738
00:42:34,354 --> 00:42:40,160
And there's serious concern
for the immediate future of the WWE champ.

739
00:42:41,862 --> 00:42:47,267
And probably anyone else who comes
in close proximity of Drew McIntyre

740
00:42:47,301 --> 00:42:49,185
when he's in this kind of mood.

741
00:42:49,219 --> 00:42:51,705
Simply a perennial threat.

742
00:42:57,060 --> 00:42:58,295
[Tessitore] This guy snapped.

743
00:42:58,328 --> 00:43:01,431
285 pounds at full velocity,

744
00:43:01,464 --> 00:43:05,586
just crashing his boot through Cody Rhodes
in the front of our announce desk.

745
00:43:12,625 --> 00:43:13,861
[crowd boos]

746
00:43:27,841 --> 00:43:31,845
People have been asking me all week,
"Why did you do what you did, Drew?

747
00:43:31,879 --> 00:43:37,801
Why did you Claymore Cody's head
right through that announced table?"

748
00:43:39,736 --> 00:43:40,737
[crowd boos]

749
00:43:41,455 --> 00:43:43,857
It was so violent,
I think we need to see it again.

750
00:43:43,891 --> 00:43:45,826
Let's see it again, play the clip.

751
00:43:45,859 --> 00:43:46,859
[crowd boos]

752
00:43:53,116 --> 00:43:54,334
[crowd clamors]

753
00:44:00,857 --> 00:44:03,926
I told you, Cody. I told you.

754
00:44:03,961 --> 00:44:04,962
I want you to win…

755
00:44:09,466 --> 00:44:10,750
[crowd boos]

756
00:44:16,173 --> 00:44:17,941
Now, listen closely.

757
00:44:18,875 --> 00:44:23,881
I did not attack Cody Rhodes.

758
00:44:26,517 --> 00:44:27,551
I know.

759
00:44:27,584 --> 00:44:30,354
"Drew, we just watched the clip.
We were watching last week."

760
00:44:30,386 --> 00:44:32,422
But your eyes are lying to you.

761
00:44:32,455 --> 00:44:36,676
And as usual,
I will explain it to you in a second.

762
00:44:36,710 --> 00:44:39,529
-But first of all, Joe.
-[Tessitore] Yes?

763
00:44:40,147 --> 00:44:41,949
Where's the medical update?

764
00:44:41,982 --> 00:44:45,368
What's going on with Cody?
It's been a week now.

765
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:47,654
There is no medical update.

766
00:44:47,688 --> 00:44:48,989
There's no update. That's so weird.

767
00:44:49,022 --> 00:44:51,408
-We always have an after a week.
-We can't provide one.

768
00:44:51,441 --> 00:44:53,359
Could somebody be hiding it?

769
00:44:53,393 --> 00:44:58,214
Could management be hiding it
because of what I did to their golden boy?

770
00:44:58,248 --> 00:45:00,116
They don't know how long
he's going to be out for,

771
00:45:00,150 --> 00:45:02,519
and it's all Drew McIntyre's fault.

772
00:45:03,569 --> 00:45:05,239
[crowd boos]

773
00:45:06,890 --> 00:45:08,842
Here's the thing,
people think I hate Cody.

774
00:45:08,875 --> 00:45:09,877
I don't hate Cody.

775
00:45:09,910 --> 00:45:11,778
I feel sorry for Cody.

776
00:45:12,796 --> 00:45:15,949
He cares about your cheers so much.

777
00:45:15,982 --> 00:45:18,769
He needs that validation from all of you.

778
00:45:18,801 --> 00:45:20,888
He cares what management think about him.

779
00:45:20,921 --> 00:45:24,641
He needs that pat on the back,
that "Attaboy, great job."

780
00:45:24,674 --> 00:45:29,513
And the reason I know all of that
is because I was Cody five years ago.

781
00:45:30,430 --> 00:45:34,401
I was in his position and then I evolved.

782
00:45:34,433 --> 00:45:37,654
I realized when we retire, we're gone.

783
00:45:37,688 --> 00:45:40,841
You all forget about us and you move on.

784
00:45:42,910 --> 00:45:45,629
You got to get yours while you can.

785
00:45:45,662 --> 00:45:48,147
And I want that WWE title.

786
00:45:48,182 --> 00:45:51,317
I've been screwed out of it
more times than I can count.

787
00:45:51,350 --> 00:45:54,188
I deserve it. I have earned it!

788
00:45:55,973 --> 00:45:56,973
[crowd boos]

789
00:45:59,209 --> 00:46:00,493
I want it for me.

790
00:46:01,395 --> 00:46:04,381
I want it for my family.
I want it for that big paycheck.

791
00:46:05,265 --> 00:46:10,103
Cody Rhodes,
he needs the WWE championship.

792
00:46:11,522 --> 00:46:14,074
Who is Cody without his story?

793
00:46:14,107 --> 00:46:16,877
Who is Cody without the title?

794
00:46:16,910 --> 00:46:18,694
He's nobody and he knows it.

795
00:46:18,729 --> 00:46:21,248
And that's why
he did what he did last week.

796
00:46:21,281 --> 00:46:23,917
So let's bring it full circle,
ladies and gentlemen.

797
00:46:27,087 --> 00:46:30,274
I did not attack Cody Rhodes last week.

798
00:46:31,391 --> 00:46:33,861
He attacked me.

799
00:46:37,614 --> 00:46:41,134
You don't remember? Let me explain.

800
00:46:41,952 --> 00:46:46,440
The AA happened right here.
I broke up the pinfall.

801
00:46:46,473 --> 00:46:48,075
Cody knocked me to the floor.

802
00:46:48,107 --> 00:46:50,344
In fact, let's go through
the crime scene right now.

803
00:46:52,879 --> 00:46:56,450
I was down here
when a disqualification happened.

804
00:46:56,482 --> 00:46:59,419
The match was legally over.

805
00:46:59,453 --> 00:47:03,373
And Cody put my face right into this post.

806
00:47:03,406 --> 00:47:07,528
Then he went over to the announced table
and started clearing it off.

807
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:08,929
Why would he do that Wade?

808
00:47:08,962 --> 00:47:12,199
Did he want to talk,
fashion me a fine cuisine?

809
00:47:12,232 --> 00:47:15,352
He was going to put my arse
through the table and take me out.

810
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:21,892
So I defended myself.

811
00:47:22,643 --> 00:47:24,511
And why would he do that?

812
00:47:24,545 --> 00:47:28,682
Maybe because I told him to his face,
"I want you to beat Cena.

813
00:47:28,714 --> 00:47:31,984
Then I'm gonna be
the one to take the title off you, Cody."

814
00:47:32,019 --> 00:47:34,788
You made the first move,
but your biggest mistake was…

815
00:47:34,821 --> 00:47:37,524
Cody Rhodes is so good
at pissing people off.

816
00:47:37,558 --> 00:47:40,827
Drew McIntyre's so good
at taking people out.

817
00:47:43,413 --> 00:47:44,932
[crowd clamors]

818
00:47:45,482 --> 00:47:48,252
So I am not the bad guy.

819
00:47:49,303 --> 00:47:50,703
But if you provoke me…

820
00:47:51,788 --> 00:47:56,026
I will do very, very violent things.

821
00:47:56,058 --> 00:47:57,344
If you provoke me…

822
00:48:00,047 --> 00:48:01,665
I'm the real nightmare.

823
00:48:04,283 --> 00:48:05,636
Get well soon.

824
00:48:05,669 --> 00:48:07,404
[Tessitore] This guy's just… [vocalizes]

825
00:48:07,955 --> 00:48:09,288
Unsafe atmosphere right now

826
00:48:09,323 --> 00:48:11,674
-with Drew McIntyre.
-[Barrett] I think everyone should

827
00:48:11,708 --> 00:48:15,444
heed the words of Drew McIntyre
and keep well clear.

828
00:48:15,479 --> 00:48:17,013
I've known Drew a long time.

829
00:48:17,047 --> 00:48:19,082
-But when he gets in this kind of mode…
-Oh.

830
00:48:19,116 --> 00:48:22,719
…even I'm incredibly unnerved
in his presence.

831
00:48:22,752 --> 00:48:25,638
And the gloating perhaps has subsided,

832
00:48:25,672 --> 00:48:29,259
but the concerns and the questions
still linger,

833
00:48:29,292 --> 00:48:34,481
with regards to the health and the future
of WWE champ, Cody Rhodes.

834
00:48:35,048 --> 00:48:37,116
[Tessitore] Saying Cody made it personal
a long time ago

835
00:48:37,150 --> 00:48:38,352
and left him with no choice.

836
00:48:38,384 --> 00:48:40,504
But a lot of gaslighting as well there.

837
00:48:40,537 --> 00:48:42,321
Let's get backstage to Byron.

838
00:48:42,356 --> 00:48:43,357
Byron?

839
00:48:45,174 --> 00:48:49,229
Joe, Wade, I'm standing by
with The Street Profits and B-Fab.

840
00:48:49,263 --> 00:48:50,263
Montez, Angelo,

841
00:48:50,297 --> 00:48:54,734
in just a few moments, you take on one
of your longtime rivals in #DIY.

842
00:48:55,452 --> 00:48:56,520
If you win,

843
00:48:57,020 --> 00:49:01,058
do you feel that places you in contention
for a WWE Tag Team Championship match?

844
00:49:01,674 --> 00:49:04,011
-Yeah.
-[Solo] Another championship match?

845
00:49:04,044 --> 00:49:06,696
Tag team titles? Why?

846
00:49:06,730 --> 00:49:07,731
For what?

847
00:49:07,763 --> 00:49:10,716
How many times you gonna go after
the tag team titles, man? Huh?

848
00:49:10,750 --> 00:49:11,984
Listen, I'll tell you what,

849
00:49:12,019 --> 00:49:15,589
after we get done with Jimmy,
Sami, and Jacob,

850
00:49:16,138 --> 00:49:21,060
if y'all want those tag team titles
you're gonna have to run through us.

851
00:49:22,479 --> 00:49:24,897
Look, fam, it don't matter
how much family you got.

852
00:49:24,932 --> 00:49:27,317
Y'all still ain't gonna stop us
from doing what we do best.

853
00:49:27,350 --> 00:49:29,086
Yeah, Solo-dolo.

854
00:49:29,118 --> 00:49:34,074
So don't matter
if it's #DIY MFT, ABC, EBT.

855
00:49:34,107 --> 00:49:36,276
It don't matter what tag team it is,

856
00:49:36,310 --> 00:49:40,663
Street Profits and B-Fab are still up.

857
00:49:40,696 --> 00:49:42,866
And we want…

858
00:49:43,433 --> 00:49:45,051
[inhales deeply]

859
00:49:46,904 --> 00:49:48,705
…the smoke.

860
00:49:50,958 --> 00:49:52,926
Watch your back around here, it's hot.

861
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,845
No, it's not.
What the hell you talking about?

862
00:49:54,877 --> 00:49:56,580
Hey, listen.
Don't even worry about it, all right?

863
00:49:56,613 --> 00:49:57,948
Talla. Talla!

864
00:49:59,016 --> 00:50:00,049
Are you all right?

865
00:50:03,203 --> 00:50:05,239
-We good.
-All right, we're good.

866
00:50:05,272 --> 00:50:06,607
Let's go take care of business.

867
00:50:16,066 --> 00:50:17,783
["Do It Myself" playing]

868
00:50:17,817 --> 00:50:19,553
[Tessitore]
We got Solo and the MFTs coming up

869
00:50:19,586 --> 00:50:23,524
in our main event six-man tag team match
against Sami, Jacob and Big Jim.

870
00:50:29,479 --> 00:50:30,480
[bell rings]

871
00:50:30,513 --> 00:50:34,701
[Nash] The following tag team contest
is scheduled for one fall.

872
00:50:35,219 --> 00:50:39,455
Introducing first,
accompanied by Candice LeRae,

873
00:50:39,489 --> 00:50:43,743
with a combined weight of 407 pounds,

874
00:50:43,777 --> 00:50:45,812
Johnny Gargano!

875
00:50:45,846 --> 00:50:48,781
Tommaso Ciampa!

876
00:50:48,815 --> 00:50:52,502
#DIY!

877
00:50:52,536 --> 00:50:56,507
[Tessitore] #DIY trying to
work their way back to a title shot.

878
00:50:56,540 --> 00:50:58,959
Let's see if they can get past
The Street Profits.

879
00:50:58,991 --> 00:50:59,993
That's next.

880
00:51:09,653 --> 00:51:14,290
Well, for #DIY, a chance at
the Street Profits is always welcome.

881
00:51:14,324 --> 00:51:15,325
The chief rivals,

882
00:51:15,359 --> 00:51:19,812
who they have fought four times
for the tag team championships.

883
00:51:21,031 --> 00:51:23,901
[Barrett] Don't forget the #DIY
took out the Street Profits

884
00:51:23,933 --> 00:51:25,384
at the end of last year.

885
00:51:43,569 --> 00:51:46,173
["We Want Smoke" playing]

886
00:52:13,450 --> 00:52:15,435
[Nash] And their opponents,

887
00:52:15,469 --> 00:52:18,272
accompanied by B-Fab,

888
00:52:18,305 --> 00:52:22,308
with a combined weight of 492 pounds.

889
00:52:22,993 --> 00:52:25,062
Angelo Dawkins!

890
00:52:25,095 --> 00:52:27,631
Montez Ford!

891
00:52:27,663 --> 00:52:32,169
The Street Profits!

892
00:52:32,202 --> 00:52:35,172
[Tessitore] The Profits, of course,
recently had the gold.

893
00:52:35,205 --> 00:52:37,174
Lost to the Wyatt Sicks.

894
00:52:37,207 --> 00:52:41,728
And as much as the guys in front of them,
#DIY, are always a major obstacle…

895
00:52:41,761 --> 00:52:45,365
We just saw moments ago. Now,
being targeted, are The Street Profits.

896
00:52:45,399 --> 00:52:50,803
And getting a warning about this division
by the MFTs and Solo Sikoa,

897
00:52:50,837 --> 00:52:53,957
who are hunting down everything
on SmackDown.

898
00:52:53,991 --> 00:52:57,594
We will see them in a six-man tag team
match coming up in just a little bit.

899
00:52:58,444 --> 00:53:00,379
[Barrett] Well, the SmackDown tag division

900
00:53:00,413 --> 00:53:01,714
-never sleeps, does it?
-[Tessitore] No.

901
00:53:01,748 --> 00:53:05,919
[Barrett] Just when you come out of
that mega TLC match

902
00:53:05,953 --> 00:53:08,538
and you think maybe we'll get
some clarity here,

903
00:53:08,571 --> 00:53:10,324
we'll get some order restored…

904
00:53:10,357 --> 00:53:13,009
The Wyatt Sicks are lurking around
here tonight.

905
00:53:13,042 --> 00:53:14,828
We've seen them a couple of times.

906
00:53:14,862 --> 00:53:17,346
Melo Don't Miz scored a big win.

907
00:53:17,381 --> 00:53:20,017
I'm sure they're currently
in Nick Aldis's room,

908
00:53:20,049 --> 00:53:22,219
-demanding a championship opportunity.
-[Tessitore] It's like…

909
00:53:22,252 --> 00:53:25,038
[Tessitore] I guarantee one of them is.
There's no doubt about that.

910
00:53:25,071 --> 00:53:26,423
[Barrett] Probably the veteran, The Miz.

911
00:53:26,455 --> 00:53:27,875
He's the guy you would send forward.

912
00:53:27,908 --> 00:53:29,625
Let Melo go celebrate.

913
00:53:30,243 --> 00:53:32,395
-But right now, two more tag teams…
-[bell rings]

914
00:53:32,428 --> 00:53:34,865
…that are demanding
to get back in the hunt for gold.

915
00:53:34,897 --> 00:53:37,951
Both have held gold this year,
as you mentioned, Joe.

916
00:53:37,984 --> 00:53:39,853
It's just a red-hot division.

917
00:53:39,886 --> 00:53:42,455
And all the teams are so closely matched.

918
00:53:42,489 --> 00:53:46,475
It's hard to really say
this-this one team is the premier team.

919
00:53:46,509 --> 00:53:48,412
[Tessitore] Yeah.
We saw that at SummerSlam,

920
00:53:48,444 --> 00:53:53,116
with the outrageous nonstop action
in the TLC match.

921
00:53:53,149 --> 00:53:56,603
I mean people are still buzzing
about what happened at MetLife,

922
00:53:56,636 --> 00:53:58,337
in Tables, Ladders & Chairs.

923
00:53:58,372 --> 00:54:00,140
[Barrett]
Well, I wasn't a tag guy in my career.

924
00:54:00,174 --> 00:54:04,243
If I'd had a tag like that TLC match
at SummerSlam,

925
00:54:04,278 --> 00:54:06,663
I would have immediately
retired afterwards.

926
00:54:06,696 --> 00:54:08,397
-[Tessitore chuckles]
-I'm done with this game.

927
00:54:08,432 --> 00:54:10,817
It's not how I remember
watching it as a kid.

928
00:54:10,850 --> 00:54:12,252
You know, it's a lot more painful.

929
00:54:13,237 --> 00:54:14,638
[Tessitore] Honestly, and I sit here

930
00:54:14,671 --> 00:54:16,823
because Candice LeRae
is right in front of us.

931
00:54:16,857 --> 00:54:18,174
You see #DIY, there she is.

932
00:54:18,207 --> 00:54:20,827
But every time anybody
looks at Candice LeRae now,

933
00:54:20,861 --> 00:54:25,749
the instant memory of those two men
bumping into the ladder as she was up top

934
00:54:25,781 --> 00:54:30,504
and causing Candice to fall
from inside the ring on top of a ladder

935
00:54:30,537 --> 00:54:31,754
all the way to the floor,

936
00:54:31,788 --> 00:54:34,857
all the way through
a bridged ladder below.

937
00:54:34,892 --> 00:54:38,045
[Barrett] Candice LeRae took the worst
landing of anyone in the entire match

938
00:54:38,078 --> 00:54:39,346
and she wasn't even in the match.

939
00:54:39,379 --> 00:54:41,181
That's how dangerous that match is.

940
00:54:41,698 --> 00:54:43,216
[Tessitore] Outrageous to think.

941
00:54:43,250 --> 00:54:46,520
You see the instant dynamic
athleticism of Tez.

942
00:54:46,553 --> 00:54:49,589
Now the powerhouse Angelo Dawkins

943
00:54:49,623 --> 00:54:52,725
throwing jabs, body shots,
and a right cross.

944
00:54:52,759 --> 00:54:56,547
[Barrett] And he can't be feeling right.
He took that Spanish Fly to the outside.

945
00:54:56,580 --> 00:55:00,801
Oh, through a bunch of tables, but
he's looking pretty damn fly right now.

946
00:55:00,834 --> 00:55:03,220
[Tessitore] Yeah, it was nearly flushed up
against the barrier.

947
00:55:03,252 --> 00:55:06,173
There was such long range there.
He's spinning in.

948
00:55:06,205 --> 00:55:09,192
Does Dawkins crashing home
and then sending the kick.

949
00:55:09,225 --> 00:55:11,944
[Barrett] He just caught the nose
of Tommaso Ciampa there.

950
00:55:11,979 --> 00:55:15,883
Ci-Ciampa perhaps getting away
without connecting with the worst of it.

951
00:55:16,500 --> 00:55:19,520
But wait up,
keep your eyes peeled, Ciampa.

952
00:55:19,553 --> 00:55:20,553
[Candice screaming]

953
00:55:20,587 --> 00:55:22,422
[Tessitore] Oh, Candice
getting in between them.

954
00:55:23,307 --> 00:55:26,192
[Barrett] What a massive asset
it is for #DIY

955
00:55:27,243 --> 00:55:29,263
to get back with Candice LeRae.

956
00:55:29,296 --> 00:55:34,317
And now amidst that distraction,
perhaps #DIY take control.

957
00:55:35,219 --> 00:55:38,337
[Tessitore] As Johnny able to land
that kick right on the apron,

958
00:55:38,372 --> 00:55:42,491
as #DIY all smiles for a moment.

959
00:55:42,526 --> 00:55:44,077
Good job. Good job.

960
00:55:46,513 --> 00:55:48,832
[Tessitore] Glad you're with us
back here in Boston.

961
00:55:48,866 --> 00:55:52,603
Look at this massive crowd
of over 12,600 TD Garden.

962
00:55:53,187 --> 00:55:56,190
The Street Profits taking on #DIY.

963
00:55:56,723 --> 00:56:01,728
[Barrett] Two championship caliber
tag teams in the year 2025

964
00:56:01,761 --> 00:56:03,163
currently without goal,

965
00:56:03,196 --> 00:56:06,616
currently desperate to get back
to the top of the ladder

966
00:56:06,649 --> 00:56:08,468
and an opportunity at The Wyatt Sicks.

967
00:56:08,502 --> 00:56:12,656
A victory here may well do it
in the eyes of Nick Aldis.

968
00:56:13,490 --> 00:56:16,676
[Tessitore] Ciampa running over
and in that boot from Tez

969
00:56:16,710 --> 00:56:18,779
as Tez quick to go up to the top rope

970
00:56:18,812 --> 00:56:20,413
where he's most comfortable.

971
00:56:20,446 --> 00:56:22,165
Can you believe the height?

972
00:56:22,915 --> 00:56:27,087
He nearly grazed Larry Bird's
retired jersey.

973
00:56:27,620 --> 00:56:30,257
[Barrett] That might be worth something
if-if you could grab it next time,

974
00:56:30,290 --> 00:56:32,259
-that'd be great. I'll put it on eBay.
-[Tessitore] It's unbelievable

975
00:56:32,292 --> 00:56:33,426
how high he was.

976
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:38,131
[Barrett] Yeah, Montez Ford moves
like a man half his size.

977
00:56:40,033 --> 00:56:43,720
[Tessitore] Tez able to escape
that initial effort from Gargano

978
00:56:43,754 --> 00:56:45,087
and then slam his head down.

979
00:56:45,739 --> 00:56:48,475
And delivers as well to Ciampa.

980
00:56:48,509 --> 00:56:51,678
[Barrett] Kind of offense
you don't see too often from Montez,

981
00:56:51,712 --> 00:56:54,631
but it really tells you
just how skilled this man is!

982
00:56:58,852 --> 00:57:00,654
[Tessitore]
Right into the hook of away cover,

983
00:57:01,421 --> 00:57:03,457
and Ciampa able to survive.

984
00:57:04,290 --> 00:57:07,728
[Barrett] And this is really where Tez
needs to turn the dial up.

985
00:57:07,761 --> 00:57:11,748
You've got a wounded Ciampa in there,
you've got Gargano down

986
00:57:11,781 --> 00:57:14,535
and you've got your own
tag partner back in the corner.

987
00:57:14,567 --> 00:57:15,903
Now's the time to make it count.

988
00:57:17,770 --> 00:57:21,475
Ciampa now scrambling for dear life,
perhaps didn't see that tag,

989
00:57:21,508 --> 00:57:22,609
or perhaps he did.

990
00:57:23,894 --> 00:57:24,944
How quick is Ciampa?

991
00:57:25,444 --> 00:57:26,495
[Tessitore] He is.

992
00:57:26,529 --> 00:57:27,981
Oh, but the double team effort.

993
00:57:28,732 --> 00:57:30,651
One! Two!

994
00:57:30,683 --> 00:57:32,368
[Tessitore] And Gargano makes the save.

995
00:57:32,402 --> 00:57:35,321
[Barrett] There's no counter
for raw power in this game.

996
00:57:35,355 --> 00:57:37,074
Raw power always wins out.

997
00:57:37,890 --> 00:57:42,696
The speed of Gargano and Ciampa
is now starting to lack

998
00:57:42,729 --> 00:57:43,881
at this point in the match.

999
00:57:45,098 --> 00:57:47,734
[Tessitore] Oh, he's putting him
in position that electric chair.

1000
00:57:47,768 --> 00:57:49,953
Could this be time
for the double team blockbuster?

1001
00:57:50,504 --> 00:57:53,406
[Barrett] Really is the kill switch
for this team. It's game over-- Oh!

1002
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:55,209
-Oh, my God! B-Fab!
-[Tessitore] Wow!

1003
00:57:55,241 --> 00:57:59,395
B-Fab's face was just run
right into the steel steps

1004
00:57:59,428 --> 00:58:00,848
[Barrett] Right into
the point of that steal.

1005
00:58:00,881 --> 00:58:05,685
I'm hoping B-Fab is Okay. That was ugly as
hell, but the match continues nonetheless.

1006
00:58:06,185 --> 00:58:10,607
As Ciampa and Tez--
Oh, the big knee from Tommaso Ciampa.

1007
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,076
Bodies are dropping
everywhere you look now,

1008
00:58:13,109 --> 00:58:16,346
and how much has
this swung back in the favor of #DIY?

1009
00:58:16,379 --> 00:58:18,131
You've got to stay alive in this game!

1010
00:58:18,165 --> 00:58:19,299
[crowd gasps]

1011
00:58:19,832 --> 00:58:22,703
[Tessitore] As they've done
so many times in the past,

1012
00:58:23,353 --> 00:58:25,756
is the fairy tale ending
the ending they want?

1013
00:58:25,788 --> 00:58:27,924
No. Dawkins comes in to break it up.

1014
00:58:30,794 --> 00:58:34,096
[Barrett] You have to be
on your toes at all times,

1015
00:58:34,131 --> 00:58:38,301
even more so if you're the tag partner
who's outside of the ring.

1016
00:58:38,335 --> 00:58:43,723
That was crucial there. Street Profits
got a one-way ticket to a loss,

1017
00:58:44,258 --> 00:58:47,743
but had their wits about them
just enough to break up that pin.

1018
00:58:47,778 --> 00:58:49,296
[Tessitore]
All four of our top competitors

1019
00:58:49,328 --> 00:58:52,216
trying to gather themselves now
in the center of the ring.

1020
00:58:52,249 --> 00:58:55,769
[Barrett] Everyone's so groggy.
Just running on fumes at this point. Oh!

1021
00:58:56,303 --> 00:58:59,705
-[Tessitore] That was almost a disaster.
-Well, that was the disaster.

1022
00:58:59,740 --> 00:59:02,491
[Tessitore] Tez runs Gargano
right into Ciampa.

1023
00:59:02,526 --> 00:59:06,930
-[Barrett] Tez on fire right now.
-Gets sent out and onto Ciampa.

1024
00:59:06,964 --> 00:59:10,783
[Barrett] Inadvertently by Gargano,
looking to capitalize now, however…

1025
00:59:10,817 --> 00:59:15,189
[Tessitore] Oh, Gargano wanted to
go flying. Instead, Tez met him.

1026
00:59:15,221 --> 00:59:16,839
[Barrett] It was right
on the throat of Gargano,

1027
00:59:16,874 --> 00:59:19,009
and with the referee's back turned back.

1028
00:59:19,042 --> 00:59:21,761
High IQ moves once again from #DIY!

1029
00:59:21,794 --> 00:59:25,031
[Tessitore] Candice LeRae
pulls him off the apron

1030
00:59:25,065 --> 00:59:27,116
and that takes out Dawkins as well!

1031
00:59:27,149 --> 00:59:29,435
[Barrett] The ref missed the entire thing.

1032
00:59:29,469 --> 00:59:33,924
#DIY playing a completely different game
to the rest of the division.

1033
00:59:34,707 --> 00:59:36,877
-[groans]
-[Tessitore] And he takes Gorgano.

1034
00:59:37,528 --> 00:59:40,614
-For the win, #DIY!
-[Barrett sighs]

1035
00:59:40,647 --> 00:59:42,883
[Tessitore] And somehow Tez kicks out.

1036
00:59:42,915 --> 00:59:45,384
Can't you see him reaching
for that throat again?

1037
00:59:45,419 --> 00:59:48,605
[Barrett] No idea.
I think he might be feigning that throat.

1038
00:59:48,638 --> 00:59:51,625
It certainly worked well
to distract the referee, but now…

1039
00:59:52,776 --> 00:59:54,178
-Oh!
-[Tessitore] Ooh!

1040
00:59:54,211 --> 00:59:59,183
B-Fab comes right in
and avenges what happened earlier.

1041
00:59:59,750 --> 01:00:02,019
Meanwhile, they pull Gargano out.

1042
01:00:02,051 --> 01:00:04,555
Perhaps lining up to meet him
in the middle, but no!

1043
01:00:04,587 --> 01:00:06,473
[Tessitore] There's a roll up,
there's a roll up.

1044
01:00:08,642 --> 01:00:10,777
Tez with a huge knee.

1045
01:00:10,810 --> 01:00:15,165
[Barrett] The game plan of #DIY
is coming apart at the seams right now.

1046
01:00:16,616 --> 01:00:18,218
And that's not going to help.

1047
01:00:20,037 --> 01:00:21,038

1048
01:00:23,257 --> 01:00:25,725

1052

[Barrett] While they never say die,

1053
01:00:38,989 --> 01:00:42,826
Street Profits dance with death
in this matchup,

1054
01:00:42,859 --> 01:00:47,064
pulled out the dub and perhaps inching
towards another shot of the goal.

1055
01:00:53,986 --> 01:00:56,240
What do I have to do to get
a United States Championship?

1056
01:00:56,272 --> 01:00:57,274
Mr, Aldis,

1057
01:00:58,341 --> 01:01:01,461
I apologize for Carmelo just barging in.

1058
01:01:01,495 --> 01:01:04,248
No, no, no, screw that.
Don't apologize. I need this.

1059
01:01:04,281 --> 01:01:06,433
Please, slow down.

1060
01:01:06,466 --> 01:01:07,935

1061
01:01:07,968 --> 01:01:09,051

1062

Mr. Aldis,

1063
01:01:10,287 --> 01:01:13,272
-since you're not busy--
-Uh, excuse me, Miz.

1064
01:01:13,307 --> 01:01:14,625
Actually, he was busy.

1065
01:01:14,658 --> 01:01:17,678
As a matter of fact,
kind of the way you're busy, uh,

1066
01:01:17,711 --> 01:01:19,529
manipulating poor Carmelo Hayes over here.

1067
01:01:19,562 --> 01:01:22,015
What is it, Melo? Are you him?

1068
01:01:22,616 --> 01:01:23,616
Or are you his?

1069
01:01:23,649 --> 01:01:25,085
[laughs]

1070
01:01:25,118 --> 01:01:29,839
Carmelo Hayes cannot be manipulated
because he has me watching his back.

1071
01:01:29,873 --> 01:01:33,911
Oh, it's the Motor City Machine Guns…
More like the Motor City squirt guns.

1072
01:01:33,944 --> 01:01:35,779
All noise, no impact.

1073
01:01:35,812 --> 01:01:37,881
-Oh, I like how he used…
-I see what he did there, yeah.

1074
01:01:37,915 --> 01:01:42,085
Yeah, big words coming from you,
and you, two people who wrestle in a team

1075
01:01:42,118 --> 01:01:44,071
like they just met in catering.

1076
01:01:44,104 --> 01:01:46,890
Well, we've been doing this
for two decades as a team, right?

1077
01:01:46,924 --> 01:01:48,542
We're kind of the kings of this.

1078

This is the Miz!

1083
01:02:00,437 --> 01:02:02,673
I think there's a very simple solution
to this situation.

1084
01:02:02,705 --> 01:02:04,374
-Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
-Absolutely,

1085
01:02:04,875 --> 01:02:06,259
giving us a title match.

1086
01:02:06,292 --> 01:02:08,011
Just stop, stop.

1087
01:02:08,544 --> 01:02:12,582

versus Melo Don't Miz

-[Melo] That's what you want.

-Yeah, I know it's what you wanted.

are out for blood.

of Talla Tonga.

of Solo in this match.

out of the way for just a moment,

coming off those two,

face-to-face for just a moment.

1311

What a brutal chop
as the entire upper body of Sami Zayn

1312
01:15:25,826 --> 01:15:28,728
just collapses against that near top rope.

1313
01:15:28,762 --> 01:15:31,031

a rag doll in corner,

1314

1315

by Solo and the MFTs.

got a little too cocky,

and valiant as they come,

1322
01:16:03,697 --> 01:16:05,999

[Barrett] God, how big is
your appetite for warfare?

1333
01:16:52,346 --> 01:16:54,348
-[Barrett] Ow!
-[Tessitore] Running hip attack.

1334
01:16:54,380 --> 01:16:56,383
Smashing into Tonga Loa.

1335
01:16:56,416 --> 01:16:58,452
[Barrett] Can not be soft bellied
when you're in there

1336
01:16:58,485 --> 01:17:02,856
with the Samoan Werewolf,
who is flattening anything that moves,

1337
01:17:02,889 --> 01:17:04,441
hopefully not Jimmy Uso.

1338
01:17:05,125 --> 01:17:07,693
[Tessitore]
Big Jim flying over the top rope!

1339
01:17:12,900 --> 01:17:16,336
Tonga Loa. Pop-up Samoan!

1340
01:17:16,370 --> 01:17:19,373
Jacob Fatu to close it out.

1341
01:17:19,406 --> 01:17:21,157
Oh, and that left shoulder gets up.

1342
01:17:23,076 --> 01:17:26,413
[Barrett] But things only get worse
from here

1343
01:17:26,446 --> 01:17:29,433
when you're in the ring with Jacob Fatu.

1344
01:17:29,933 --> 01:17:32,920
[crowd chanting] Fatu, Fatu, Fatu!

1345
01:17:36,473 --> 01:17:39,860
[Barrett] Fatu is simply salivating
at this point,

1346
01:17:39,893 --> 01:17:41,577
waited two weeks for this.

1347
01:17:41,612 --> 01:17:44,264
[Tessitore] Oh, Solo quick to get up there
and meet Jacob.

1348
01:17:45,065 --> 01:17:47,968
He shrugs him off, kicks him away. Fatu!

1349
01:17:48,001 --> 01:17:50,904
-[Barrett] Oh, knees up!
-Oh, the knees were up on the swanton.

1350
01:17:50,938 --> 01:17:55,108
[Barrett] Well, that little beat
from Solo Sikoa was all it took

1351
01:17:55,142 --> 01:17:58,010
to knock the Werewolf off his stride.
Wait up!

1352
01:17:58,045 --> 01:18:02,215
[Tessitore] And now Solo's going up top
himself to splash down.

1353
01:18:02,749 --> 01:18:04,334
[crowd] One, two…

1354
01:18:05,068 --> 01:18:08,572
[Tessitore]
And Fatu sends Solo flying off.

1355
01:18:08,605 --> 01:18:13,010
[Barrett] Sent Solo flying off, and now
there is panic in the eyes of Solo Sikoa.

1356
01:18:13,043 --> 01:18:14,294
That should have done it.

1357
01:18:14,327 --> 01:18:17,364
That would have kept
a normal human being down.

1358
01:18:17,397 --> 01:18:19,733
This was the knees-up moment
from Tonga Loa

1359
01:18:19,766 --> 01:18:23,202
after the distraction from Solo,

1360
01:18:23,237 --> 01:18:27,307
who nailed that Uso-style splash,
but it wasn't enough.

1361
01:18:27,340 --> 01:18:28,775
[crowd chanting] Solo sucks!

1362
01:18:28,809 --> 01:18:30,244
[Tessitore] Just a couple of weeks ago,

1363
01:18:30,277 --> 01:18:33,914
they fought for the US championship
in a steel cage.

1364
01:18:35,883 --> 01:18:38,769
Oh, and those recuperative powers of Fatu.

1365
01:18:38,802 --> 01:18:40,621
Trading super kicks now.

1366
01:18:40,654 --> 01:18:43,206
-[Barrett] Oh.
-[Tessitore] Oh, and both men are down.

1367
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:47,527
[Barrett] Damn, two of the toughest men
in the game right now.

1368
01:18:47,561 --> 01:18:49,279
Poleaxing one another.

1369
01:18:54,268 --> 01:18:58,739
And stirring is the man who took
the biggest beating of anyone, Sami Zayn,

1370
01:18:58,772 --> 01:19:01,124
looking gonna get back in the fight.

1371
01:19:01,157 --> 01:19:04,044
[Tessitore] A week ago
he scored a quick one win

1372
01:19:04,077 --> 01:19:06,045
up in Montreal against Solo.

1373
01:19:06,079 --> 01:19:09,383
[Barrett] Wait a second,
Fatu seemingly not wanting to tag Zayn,

1374
01:19:09,416 --> 01:19:10,434
but to hell with it.

1375
01:19:10,467 --> 01:19:12,152
[Tessitore] Well, you heard
what he said earlier.

1376
01:19:12,186 --> 01:19:14,788
Oh, Blue Thunder. Sami!

1377
01:19:15,539 --> 01:19:19,026
And JC Mateo at the last possible second.

1378
01:19:19,059 --> 01:19:22,396
And now just beating down on Sami Zayn.

1379
01:19:22,429 --> 01:19:23,996
[Barrett] God, how quick was Mateo there?

1380
01:19:24,031 --> 01:19:26,733
He could make
the Olympic 100-meter team at that pace.

1381
01:19:26,767 --> 01:19:29,635
[Barrett] Big Jim with the big kick.

1382
01:19:29,670 --> 01:19:31,938
Tonga Loa comes in with the right hand.

1383
01:19:31,972 --> 01:19:34,474
[Barrett] This one completely
breaking down,

1384
01:19:34,508 --> 01:19:36,626
referee completely out of control,

1385
01:19:36,660 --> 01:19:38,612
and Talla Tonga flattened!

1386
01:19:39,346 --> 01:19:40,447
[Tessitore] Watch out!

1387
01:19:40,480 --> 01:19:45,269
Man, oh, man, he just sent a seven footer
over the announce desk.

1388
01:19:45,302 --> 01:19:48,655
[Barrett] What a crashing landing
for Talla Tonga,

1389
01:19:49,206 --> 01:19:50,757
but keep your eye in the ring.

1390
01:19:51,925 --> 01:19:54,561
[Tessitore] No Spike,
instead Sami gets the boot up.

1391
01:19:57,347 --> 01:20:01,251
Exploder. Sami hits him with the Exploder!

1392
01:20:01,285 --> 01:20:02,936
[crowd cheering]

1393
01:20:02,969 --> 01:20:06,373
[Barrett] And this place
is about to explode too.

1394
01:20:08,942 --> 01:20:10,443
Helluva!

1395
01:20:11,428 --> 01:20:12,513
Sami.

1396
01:20:12,545 --> 01:20:14,464
[crowd] One, two, three!

1397
01:20:14,498 --> 01:20:15,916
-[Tessitore] He does it!
-[bell rings]

1398
01:20:15,949 --> 01:20:17,416
["Worlds Apart" playing]

1399
01:20:17,451 --> 01:20:19,570
[Nash] Here are your winners,

1400
01:20:19,603 --> 01:20:23,840
Jimmy Uso, Jacob Fatu

1401
01:20:23,874 --> 01:20:27,728
and Sami Zayn!

1402
01:20:29,129 --> 01:20:31,949
[Barrett] What the hell do you call
a match like that?

1403
01:20:31,982 --> 01:20:35,669
Just an exhilarating scramble of violence.

1404
01:20:38,672 --> 01:20:43,143
[Tessitore] Jacob Fatu eliminated
the threat of Talla Tonga.

1405
01:20:43,177 --> 01:20:47,981
Sami Zayn then went to work
and did his thing, Wade.

1406
01:20:48,014 --> 01:20:51,451
[Barrett] Oh, my God,
what an effort from these three men

1407
01:20:51,485 --> 01:20:53,019
who connected when it mattered

1408
01:20:53,053 --> 01:20:56,572
against some of the most
vicious opponents you could ever get.

1409
01:21:05,666 --> 01:21:08,135
[Tessitore] What a great night in Boston.
you could ever get.
