[theme music]
[narrator] Then... now...
forever...
together.
[exciting music]
[Cole] This is glorious Scotland, a majestic country
in the United Kingdom,
marvelous rivers and lochs and Highlands and castles and seas.
And this is Scotland's largest city, Glasgow.
It also has the country's largest economy,
buoyed by the Scottish Event Campus, home to the OVO Hydro,
which tonight hosts Scotland's first ever premium
live event, Clash at the Castle.
Earlier today, the arrival of Undisputed WWE Champion,
Cody Rhodes, who tonight enters the first I Quit match
of his career, versus this man, the Phenomenal AJ Styles,
a former two-time WWE Champion who used
an elaborate retirement ruse to force his way into this matchup.
There is the WWE Women's Champion, Bayley,
who continues to write her incredible legacy
and tonight looks to take out a homeland favorite
accompanied by Chelsea Green.
Piper Niven is from Kilbirnie, just west of Glasgow,
and tonight looks to win her first singles title in WWE.
There is the World Heavyweight Champion, Damian Priest.
And tonight he's public enemy number one in Scotland
because he defends against Scotland's favorite son
from just Southwest of here in Ayr, the Scottish warrior,
Drew McIntyre, looking to win a fourth world title
and first on his own soil.
This time, it's Drew McIntyre's night at Clash at the Castle.
[crowd cheering]
[exciting music]
[hype music]
[yells]
I told you fate's coming to Scotland.
A good old square go, the Scottish way, eh.
Sorry, a beating.
[Wade] It's going to get rough.
It's going to get ugly.
[Drew] Brutal, unflinching, ferocious.
Never, ever underestimate your opponent.
The last thing you remember.
[Cody] AJ, I'm not just going to beat you.
I am going to make you say "I quit!"
[Wade] All rise!
[Corey] This is where the world will learn what Damian Priest is truly made of.
[Drew] Us Scots are known for our temperance.
Damian Priest, I'm about to take your bloody title.
So let's make a deal.
You bring the crazy.
We bring the fight.
[Corey] Glasgow, Scotland, and the world,
are you ready to Clash at the Castle?
This is going to be good.
[narrator] And now live from Glasgow,
Scotland, Gin and Juice presents: Clash at the Castle.
[Cole] And you are looking live at the sold out OVO Hydro
in Glasgow, Scotland.

[Corey] He's the number one contender
for the undisputed WWE Championship, AJ Styles,
forcing himself into the conversation
with an elaborate retirement ruse on SmackDown
a couple of weeks ago, forcing Cody Rhodes' hand
and earning this opportunity tonight.
[Corey] The determined challenger making
his entrance into extremely hostile territory
in Glasgow tonight.
[Cole] Well, Hello again, everybody.
And a happy early Father's Day to all of you.
I'm Michael Cole from Monday Night Raw.
From Friday Night SmackDown, Corey Graves and Wade Barrett.
This, Corey, is an I-quit match.
This could go all night.
This may be the only match we get to witness tonight
at Clash at the Castle because I don't find it fathomable at all
that either Styles or Rhodes will ever say: "I quit."
And we have Wade Barrett, of course,
from the United Kingdom. Welcome home.
-Are you excited for tonight? -I'm thrilled.
I'm pumped up.
I'm especially excited to be sat here
on this desk with you two.
We're in the UK.
Why not let the British boy have a little go?

[Cole] For the first time in his career,
Cody Rhodes walks in to an I-quit match.
His challenger tonight, AJ Styles is
4 and 0 in these matchups, not here in the WWE,
but in other promotions.
But he does have the experience.
Cody Rhodes making his way out to the front row.
His mother, Michelle, made the trip from the United States
to Scotland tonight to cheer Cody Rhodes on.
Corey, we know the relationship between Cody and his mom.
[Corey] Michelle means the absolute world
to The American Nightmare, his biggest fan
his proudest supporter.
But from the sounds of it, there are over 11,000 members
of the WWE Universe tonight who love Cody as much
as his own mother does.
This is wild in here.

[Cole] Give yourself a hand.
[bell rings]
[Alicia] The following is an I-quit match.
And it is for the Undisputed WWE Championship!
Introducing the challenger, from Gainesville, Georgia,
weighing in at 220 pounds, The Phenomenal,
AJ Styles!
And his opponent from Atlanta, Georgia,
weighing in at 222 pounds, he is
the Undisputed WWE Champion,
The American Nightmare,
Cody Rhodes!
[crowd cheering]
[crowd singing]
...this is I-quit rules.
That means there's no disqualifications,
no count-outs, no submissions or pinfalls.
Only way to win is to make your opponent say
the words "I quit."
You got me?
All right.
Neutral-- no.
Neutral.
[Cole] Referee Dan Engler explaining the rules
to Cody Rhodes and AJ styles.
For the 26th time in WWE, we have an I-quit match.
The first one dates back to WrestleMania 11,
Bret Hart versus Bob Backlund.
[Corey] Well, the I-quit match that actually is given credit
for popularizing the match type took place all the way back
in 1985, as Magnum TA and Tully Blanchard battled
over the United States Championship.
[Cole] And Cody Rhodes comes out of the blocks with a big right hand
and goes to work on AJ Styles.
Over the years in WWE Championship matches,
champions are 4 and 2 in I-quit matches.
The last time a title changed hands in an I-quit match,
WWE title match that is, John Cena knocking off
Randy Orton back in 2009.
Wade, let's talk about strategy.
Now, if you're the champ, Cody Rhodes,
what do you have to do to win this match?
[Wade] You've got to channel into the hurt
that you feel when you were betrayed by AJ Styles several weeks ago.
He was flanked by a man he formerly respected,
a man who was respected by the entire industry,
channel into that, channel into this damn audience,
and you can win this match.
[Corey] Cody Rhodes looking for a Disaster Kick.
[Cole] Oh, and AJ Styles able to counter and now delivers a big chop.
And Styles now on the offense.
Corey, if you're AJ Styles, what do you do
to knock off Cody Rhodes?
[Corey] Well, listen.
You have to do more than break your opponent's body
in an I-quit match.
You have to break your opponent's spirit.
Which history has taught us, both of these superstars have the heart.
Do they have the will?
Are they willing to cross that line in their mind,
to go deep into their deepest fears and desires
to stop their opponent?
'Cause that's what it's gonna take.
[Wade] You've got to leave humanity at the front door tonight
embrace your worst demons and let them play.
[crowd continues singing]
[Cole] Get your points in quick tonight, gentlemen.
We have a rowdy, sold-out crowd.
Bionic elbow.
Ask AJ styles the question in the kickoff show yesterday
what happens if you lose tonight?
He said, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
AJ, do you quit?
Get out of here.
[Cole] And that is really the only job for the official tonight
Dan Engler, to hold the microphone
to hear one of these men utter the words, "I quit."
[Corey] You guys remember when the Hydro used to have a roof on it?
[Cole] And this is just match one.
[Wade] Place has turned into a damn caldron.
[Cole] Calling for the tables,
that's what the WWE fans will get.
Again, perfectly legal in the I-quit scenario.
Cody knocked off AJ at Backlash back
in May and a great matchup.
[Corey] Was definitely an instant classic at Backlash,
but at that point, this was
a professional rivalry only.
AJ Styles has turned the tides into his own favorite
by betraying Rhodes.
I'm curious to see how that factors into this one.
Oh!
[Cole] AJ knee first into the steps.
[Wade] I'll tell you right now, Cody.
AJ Styles--
No.
[Wade] AJ Styles had absolutely no chance than
to attack Cody Rhodes to turn the tables on him
and get back to the front of the line.
He simply doesn't have the time to waste in his career to get
to the back of the line.
[Corey] I'm going to disagree with you, Wade.
There's been a lot of speculation
about AJ being ready to wind down his career.
But in my opinion, Styles still has plenty left in the tank
and could be the next Undisputed WWE Champion.
[Cole] Cody comes off the barricade as they fight in the audience.
[Wade] And I fully agree with that, Corey.
That's exactly why he should never be anywhere near the back of the line.
Nick Aldis has made very few missteps in his time as GM.
That was a big one.
The sands of time for AJ Styles's career are running low.
He's got to make every single grain count.
[Cole] Well, wait.
Speaking of missteps, did Cody Rhodes make
a mistake in challenging AJ Styles to an I-quit match?
All Styles was looking for was a regular wrestling match for the title.
Oh!
[Wade] 100%. Listen, let's tap into their arsenals.
AJ Styles, for example, has a classic submission hold
the Calf Crusher, that he has won countless matches with.
When it comes to Cody Rhodes, he's technically astute.
I don't know if he has the same level of submission available to him
to make AJ Styles utter those words, "I quit."
[Corey] I agree with you, Wade, which, in my opinion,
means Cody Rhodes is going to have to kick it old school tonight.
Cody is going to have to turn up the aggression,
turn up the ruthlessness,
break all the rules that are perfectly legal in this match up anyway.
[Cole] And let's not forget.
Cody Rhodes has used the Figure Four in the past
as AJ Styles is bounced off the wall.
They are fighting back in the locker room area now.
[Corey] We should have put some seats back there.
[Wade] Here's the deal.
Here's how enraged AJ Styles has got Cody Rhodes,
the ultimate professional.
He's completely unraveled.
And that is why he took that option of making
this an I-quit match.
Excuse me.
And that's what happens when you're that fired up.
You make mistakes.
[Corey] Look at this.
This sort of ruthlessness from Styles is what it's going
to take to force Rhodes to say, "I quit," if indeed
that is at all possible.
[Cole] Again, in an I-quit match, it doesn't matter where you say, "I quit."
You don't have to be in the ring.
You could do it out in the parking lot.
And back into the arena, the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland.
[Corey] And could this be a case of AJ Styles,
right now, playing a little rope-a-dope,
hoping Cody Rhodes burns himself out?
Because Cody has been going 100 miles an hour since the opening bell.
[Cole] Or is he just a dope-a-dope
and is not going to have any chance in this matchup
as Cody Rhodes continues to beat the hell out of him?
[Wade] The durability of AJ Styles will suggest,
historically, he can take a beating
and keep on swinging.
And if Cody Rhodes burns himself out in the early goings here,
Corey, you're absolutely right.
It will be a classic error.
[Cole] Corey mentioned it earlier.
This is personal for Cody Rhodes.
AJ Styles, with that retirement rouse,
embarrassed and humiliated Cody.
Cody has not forgotten it.
AJ able to block.
AJ Styles, a former two-time WWE Champion.
He was the first man to ever win that championship
outside of North America.
He hopes to do it again tonight.
Double-leg takedown.
And this is what I was talking about earlier.
Cody knows how to use the Figure Four.
He does have a submission move in his arsenal.
And he may try to get Cody Rhodes to say, "I quit."
No!
AJ, do you quit?
No, no, no no!
Do you quit?
[Corey] And this is just a testament to the grit
of AJ Styles, trapped in an agonizing submission hold.
His ankle could snap at any second.
[Cole] Cody applying the pressure.
And again, remember here, guys,
the ropes don't force a break because there are no disqualifications.
[Corey] I think AJ is about to realize--
[Wade] This is why you can use those ropes
for leverage, at least to get out of the hold.
And that has worked finally for AJ Styles.
But is that damage already done?
[Corey] Styles spent a significant amount of time
in the Figure Four leglock submission.
Curious to see how that factors in as this match progresses.
[Cole] You know, and I talked about this on the kickoff show yesterday
and I don't know if you agree with me or not.
But there's a lot of critics
who don't believe that Cody has what it takes to get down and dirty.
Does he have the killer instinct?
Does he have what it takes to win an I-quit match?
[Wade] To win a match like this,
you have to be prepared to be a heinous human being,
to do the despicable to another human being.
You're absolutely right.
-[Corey] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! -[Cole] Oh, no!
Both men tumbling out of the ring.
Cody hit the apron hard.
AJ hit the floor hard.
[Wade] That was a lower back of Cody that perhaps got the worst of it.
I think AJ Styles got knocked loopy in the process,
as you mentioned, Cole.
[Corey] It's tough to tell who got the worst of that exchange.
Both superstars' bodies racked with pain after the spill to the outside.
And now, Styles-- look out, guys!
[Cole] Right on the announce table, right in front of us!
Cody Rhodes dumped on the announce table by AJ Styles.
[Wade] Cody Rhodes landed high on that neck,
cracking that spine in the process.
[Cole] Cody trying to--
and I don't think AJ Styles is done yet.
Styles with--
[Corey] Oh, God!
A brainbuster!
A brainbuster right on our table!
[Cole] Get in there, Engler, ask the champ now.
No!
[Cole] A very emphatic "no" from Cody Rhodes after being--
Do you quit?
-No! -AJ--
[Cole] Oh!
Well, that's legal. But I'm not sure it's ethical.
[Corey] Did you just question the ethics of somebody
in an I-quit match for the Undisputed WWE Title?
[Cole] Bounced off the ring.
The ring bell is Cody Rhodes.
And all of a sudden, AJ Styles has taking over.
[Wade] These two men--
oh.
[crowd cheering]
--just like I do your son.
Asshole!
[Cole] AJ Styles.
[Corey] Guys.
Guys, look at Cody.
Look at Cody.
[Wade] ...busted wide open.
[Cole] I believe that is when his face bounced off the ring--
the ring bell table.
[Corey] And now, it's The American Nightmare wearing
the infamous crimson mask.
We got a bleeder!
[Cole] AJ Styles loves what he sees.
[Wade] When you get blood in your eyes,
you cannot defend yourself.
This just got a whole lot easier for The Phenomenal One.
[Corey] Rhodes used the great white shark analogy.
I don't know if it's ever been more apropos than it is right now.
[audience booing]
[Cole] Oh, and Cody tried to fight back,
a couple of right hands.
Rhodes back to his feet.
Styles though, right back to the banged up face of Rhodes.
Styles is enjoying this.
[Corey] It's almost as though
these rabid WWE fans are fueling AJ Styles.
[Cole] Nobody has ever doubted
if AJ Styles could get aggressive and vicious.
Bang!
Neck breaker, neck right to the knee.
Cody, do you quit?
Do you quit?
Absolutely not!
[Cole] Again, another emphatic no from Cody Rhodes.
If this audience was supporting AJ Styles,
it just went out the window,
saying very rude words about AJ.
[Corey] There's no question about it that--
I'm sorry, that Cody Rhodes is the sentimental favorite here tonight.
But Cody's neck has already sustained a great deal of damage.
No!
[Corey] First across our announce table,
then across AJ Styles's knee.
AJ knows that Cody's hurt.
[Wade] AJ Styles knows this game better than anybody.
And he knows that Cody Rhodes simply has...
an unbreakable human spirit.
[Cole] Rhodes fighting back again.
And again, the physicality of an I-quit match.
Also, the emotional toll, the humiliation of having
to utter the words, "I quit."
Imagine being a champion, Corey. And that's the way you lose the title,
by having to tell your opponent, "I can't go on anymore.
-I got to quit." -[Corey] I'll tell you.
Let's make it a little worse.
Have to say, "I quit," not only in front of the WWE Universe,
but mere feet in front of your own mother.
That would crush Cody Rhodes.
[Wade] You are the leading light in this industry.
And you intend to stay there a long time
like Cody Rhodes does.
I don't know if there is any way back
to that position if you utter the words "I quit."
[crowd] Fuck you, AJ!
Fuck you, AJ!
[Corey] Sold out crowd not enamored with Mr. Styles.
[crowd] Fuck you, AJ!
Fuck you, AJ!
[Cole] Some of you Brits have a unique disposition.
[Corey] They have potty mouths, Cole.
Let's call it what it is.
[Wade] Scotland got whipped in the football yesterday, 5-1.
This is the result of that.
[Corey] Now, this might be the end of Cody Rhodes.
Wade, we saw this two weeks ago when Styles betrayed Cody.
[Cole] Cody was going--
Styles is going to the--
[Corey] Styles clash.
[Cole] And Cody Rhodes able to counter.
[Wade] AJ just thought Cody was a little more beat up than he really was.
Cody is in a mess.
But there's still fight in the dog.
[croud singing]
[Cole] Cody buys himself some time
as he rolls back into the ring, the Undisputed WWE Champion.
Incredible scene tonight sold out in Glasgow.
[Wade] Here's that song again.
It's Boney M. Like I said yesterday,
definitely not Earth, Wind and Fire.
[Corey] Did you thank Mr. Regal for the text to correct you?
Big right hand.
[Wade] No.
[Corey] And here comes The American Nightmare.
[Cole] And here comes AJ Styles.
There's those quick combinations by Styles.
Rhodes, Disaster Kick!
And that changes the momentum of the match.
[crowd singing]
Measuring his man, Cody looking for crossroads on Syles
who delivers a knee to the face and a Pele Kick.
Bam!
DDT!
[Corey] And a combination like that in a normal match might end it.
But these are I-quit rules.
Cody, Cody, do you quit?
[Styles] Quit, Cody!
No.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] A defiant Cody Rhodes.
And now, look at Styles fish-hooking
the mouth of Rhodes.
[Corey] This is just agonizing.
This is ruthless.
[groaning]
[Cole] Point of the elbow to the nose.
[Wade] Just shows you the versatility of the veteran,
AJ Styles, from crisp maneuvers one second to disgusting,
heinous acts the next.
[Corey] Styles has a nasty welt building on his left side,
left shoulder.
Now, Styles with a steel chair.
Again, legal in an I-quit match.
[Wade] Guys are going to need full-body ice packs after this one.
[Cole] They call those ice baths, Wade.
[crowd chanting]
Oh, no.
Now, Styles looking to severely injure Cody Rhodes.
[Corey] This is the name of the game.
[Wade] Permanently cripple a man like this.
[Corey] Rhodes is caught inside the steel chair.
And AJ Styles--
[Cole] No, trying to break the neck of Rhodes!
[Corey] This is what it takes in an I-quit match.
You have to be willing to break your opponent's body.
You have to jeopardize their health, maybe their own career.
[Cole] And again, Cody with an emphatic no.
[Wade] Cody is a danger to himself at this point.
There's nothing the referee can do to prevent any of this.
[Corey] Take another look at this,
hard as it may be to watch.
AJ Styles looking to end the reign of The American Nightmare.
[Cole] Another weapon introduced,
Kendo stick being held by Styles.
Oh, goodness!
[cracking]
Listen to those cracks.
[Styles] Wait, Cody.
I'm going to hurt you.
[Wade] What hurts more, the shots...
by AJ or the relentless taunting?
[Corey] Well, if this keeps up,
nothing's going to hurt Cody Rhodes like the realization
he's no longer Undisputed WWE Champion.
Oh!
Say the words.
Say it with me.
Say it.
Say it!
Hell, no!
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] Defiant in the face of adversity, Cody Rhodes refusing to relent.
[Wade] That may have been a misfire by AJ.
Once Cody took one look at his mother staring back at him,
you're right, Corey, defiance is the only word.
[Corey] First, a public caning.
Now, a public whipping of Cody Rhodes by Styles.
This has got to be giving Cody some flashbacks
to a certain final boss.
Ask him!
Cody, do you quit?
Come on.
Cody, come on.
Cody?
Cody!
[Cole] And styles continues this assault.
[Wade] Blood on Cody's forehead just making that belt slip off
again and again.
[crowd chanting]
[Cole] And Styles now, an STF.
[Wade] No refuge for Cody Rhodes anywhere.
No!
Right in front of your mother.
Ah!
[Dan] Cody, do you quit?
Cody, come on, man.
[Corey] Cody trying to hang on.
Cody, come on!
[Corey] Cody's fading.
Cody trying to get his fingers in between the hands of Styles.
[Cole] Yeah, but he's fading. Cody's fading!
[Wade] The human body has limits.
[crowd singing]
He didn't say anything!
He's out!
The match continues.
[Cole] Cody Rhodes has passed out.
But the referee is explaining to AJ Styles that Cody has to say, "I quit."
He has to utter those words in order for AJ to win the match.
[Corey] AJ just said he's going to wake Cody up.
[Wade] Cody's body has quit on him.
[Corey] You were done with that water anyway, weren't you, Wade?
[Wade] Well, I'm not going to argue with him.
[Corey] What does Styles possibly have in mind next?
[Styles] Wake up, Cody. Wake up.
[crowd booing]
[Cole] Well, if this is a normal match,
Styles would have won with a pass out by Cody Rhodes.
[Corey] No, no, no, no, no.
You know what we keep in those velvet bags, guys.
I know what you're thinking.
But I got something a lot better than that.
[Corey] Oh. Handcuffs.
Styles keeping us all on our toes.
[Cole] Somebody used to keep a snake in one.
And now, AJ Styles is going to...
he's handcuffing the Undisputed WWE Champion!
[Corey] Oh, my god.
This is not going to end well for Cody Rhodes.
[Cole] He's defenseless.
Cody Rhodes is defenseless.
He's handcuffed.
[Wade] As diabolical... as it is brilliant.
[Cole] Oh!
And the public caning continues! AJ Styles unloading!
[Corey] Rhodes is writhing in pain.
Come on, Cody, do you quit?
[Styles] Cody, say it!
No!
[crowd cheers]
[Cole] A defiant champion, a very proud champion.
Think about what Cody Rhodes went through.
It's all your damn fault!
[Cole] Screaming at his mom, Michelle.
[Wade] Prolonging the inevitable.
[crowd jeering]
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Get him, Michelle!
Well, that'll be embarrassing for AJ Styles.
[Corey] AJ, what the hell are you doing?
[Cole] ...away from him!
[Corey] What's wrong with you?
And now, Styles is going to take out
all of his embarrassment, all of his frustration on Michelle's son.
You heard AJ blaming Michelle, saying Cody's doing this for you.
[Wade] Cody's hand is still manacled.
Himself still completely unable to defend himself.
[Corey] Yeah. Now, Styles wrapping that steel chain.
Flashbacks to the days of the koloffs.
[Cole] Around his forearm.
And AJ Styles may be thinking about Phenomenal Forearm
to end this with a steel chain wrapped around.
AJ Styles lining it up.
And Styles now-- Oh!
Chair--
[Corey] Oh!
Through the table!
[Cole]And AJ Styles collapsing through the table!
And the one thing I'm not sure if you guys noticed,
but Cody Rhodes has been able to move
the handcuffs from behind his back to the front of his body.
A very important point here.
[Corey] And it could have potentially been avoided had Styles not spent
so much time berating Cody's mother.
[Wade] Cody's bought himself some time.
He hasn't bought himself freedom from those handcuffs.
That's the issue here.
[Cole] Cody dragging himself over to the...
the key that was also in the bag with the handcuffs.
Why wouldn't it be?
And Cody now looking to unlock the handcuffs.
And he does.
Critical moment in this match for the Undisputed WWE Champion.
[crowd cheering]
What an incredible way to kickoff,
Clash at the Castle, Styles back into the ring.
Cody Rhodes now using the handcuff
as a weapon, the handcuff that AJ Styles introduced in the match!
[Corey] Rhodes just tattooed Styles with the chain
from the handcuff.
And it appears as though The American Nightmare is free.
[Wade] What a momentum change.
[Cole] Styles into the corner.
Back to an even playing field.
[Corey] And Cody--
Cody's returning the favor!
[Cole] Torturing AJ Styles!
Cody Cutter!
Here comes Rhodes!
Cody's fired up!
Listen to this place!
[Corey] You can feel the fire burning
in the veins of Cody Rhodes!
[Cole] Cross Rhodes!
Cross Rhodes part two!
Steel chair, center of the ring!
Cross Rhodes three onto the chair!
[Corey] It might be AJ Styles who's out cold right now.
[Cole] Cody Rhodes is waving off the official, telling Dan Engler,
"Don't ask him if he quits".
Cody Rhodes wants to inflict more punishment, more damage.
[Corey] Cody's lost his damn mind!
[crowd singing]
[Wade] Cannot lose sight of what is most important here,
this is winning the damn match, Cody.
[Corey] You can't lose sight of what AJ Styles is trying to do
to Cody Rhodes' mom as well.
[Wade] AJ Styles still stirs after that volley of abuse.
[Cole] And now, it's payback time.
And Cody Rhodes handcuffing Styles to the rope!
[Wade] AJ Styles in danger of falling on his own sword.
[Cole] Somebody's about to get an ass whooping!
[crowd] Bang!
Bang!
[Cole] A relentless, sickening assault by the champion.
[Styles] Ah!
AJ, do you quit?
Ah!
Screw you, Cody Rhodes!
[Cole] Styles has still got fight in him.
[Wade] AJ may have no choice to retire after this beatdown.
[Cole] Oh!
And again, chair right to the midsection.
And now, Rhodes, steel steps in hand.
Remember, AJ Styles is pretty much helpless,
handcuffed to the second rope.
That key is nowhere in sight.
[Wade] AJ Styles--
[Cole] Think about this, if you're AJ Styles,
and you're handcuffed, and you're helpless,
and the man just threw steel steps into the ring,
and you're watching this?
[Corey] Start praying.
[Wade] We're way beyond logic here.
I quit! I quit! I quit!
-[bell ringing] -[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Cody wins!
[Downstait, "Kingdom" playing]
AJ had enough.
[Corey] It was a matter of self-preservation
for the challenger tonight.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
♪ Every fight out of control ♪
♪ Do it all-- ♪
[Corey] Cody just locked eyes with his mother.
♪ Crowd is here about to blow ♪
♪ Waiting for me To start the the show ♪
[Cole] Oh!
[Corey] Cody!
[Cole] Wade, that was a message.
[Wade] That final shot from Cody, that is a message
to the entire locker room.
High or low, I will match whatever level
you want to take this to.
And I will beat you with it.
...get on that level!
[Cole] Cody Rhodes guys was just screaming down to me based
on a question that I asked him at the kickoff show yesterday.
Can you get down and dirty when you need to?
Cody Rhodes proved tonight that he could.
[Alicia] Here is your winner and still
the Undisputed WWE Champion,
The American Nightmare,
Cody Rhodes!
[Cole] As we show you what happened toward
the end of this matchup, my question is this.
What's next for AJ Styles?
Cody Rhodes celebrating the Undisputed WWE Championship
in a brutal match.
[Corey] As expected, it was brutal.
It did deliver on all of the promises
as we see how Cody was able to free himself before delivering
a chair shot between the eyes of AJ Styles,
which turned the tides of this matchup, Wade.
[Wade] Finally, Cody got himself free and made it clear
he was prepared to stoop to those depths
that AJ Styles dragged this match to
and beat The Phenomenal One at his own game with shot
after shot, volley after volley of abuse.
This is where it really changed, Cole.
[Cole] Yeah, when he handcuffed
AJ Styles to the second rope,
AJ Styles just walked in front of us moments ago.
He had been busted open as well,
much like Cody Rhodes was,
as Rhodes unloaded with a steel chair. I believe...
that what happened after this.
I quit!
[Cole] I believe the steps after the match, Corey,
are what busted AJ Styles open.
[Corey] No doubt about this.
AJ Styles will remember this match physically
for the next week or two, emotionally for the rest of his career.
What a night, what a win for the Undisputed WWE Champion.
[Cole] The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes,
proving to the world tonight that he will do anything
he needs to keep the Undisputed WWE Title
that he worked so many years to obtain.
And I was impressed with Cody Rhodes tonight.
I had my doubts if he'd be able to get down into it
like he did tonight, Corey.
[Corey] When the chips are down, you find out
what a champion truly is made of.
When Rhodes' back was against the wall, he persevered.
He pushed through.
He rallied behind the WWE Universe that fuels him.
And Cody was able to do the-- oh, shoot.
[Wade] Whoa.
[Corey] Turn around, Cody.
You got company.
[Cole] The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa.
[crowd booing]
Oh, my gosh! Look out from behind!
The rest of the Bloodline!
[Corey] Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa.
[Wade] For a man who has just put himself through hell.
[Cole] What did Solo Sikoa say on SmackDown?
That he was going to take care of the Cody Rhodes problem?
And now, the Bloodline with a problem of their own.
[Corey] Rhodes has backup!
It's Owens and Orton!
Last night on SmackDown, Randy Orton returned
to aid the prize fighter!
And this score is far from settled!
[Wade] I don't know how the hell Cody is still up and swinging.
[Cole] Well, survival, just trying to survive.
[Corey] And for once, the Bloodline doesn't have
a numbers advantage.
[Cole] This has turned into a six-man brawl.
Come on!
[Cole] Thank goodness Cody Rhodes had KO and Randy Orton.
We knew KO was here.
He did The Countdown show earlier but didn't know Orton was in the house.
Cody Rhodes is still your undisputed WWE Champion.

Excuse me.
I mean, yeet down!
[Corey] How could you not be yeeting?
I've never felt anything like this.
It's like the walls are moving.
Yeet!
[Corey] And you can count me in on the yeet train
because I have been a believer in Main Event Jey Uso
since he became Main Event Jey Uso.
[Jey] My whole life, I've been fighting for other people.
From here on out, I'm just fighting for me now, my legacy.

[dramatic music]
[Isla] We are built from the ground up in Scotland.
[Alba] We're very proud.
We're very proud to be Scottish.
[Isla] We've always been a fighting people.
[Alba] We will take anybody on.
One of their own step into anything, every single one of us shows up.
We're representing them on a very big stage.
[Isla] We will walk out with the championships.
We are coming to take over WWE in our hometown.
And the whole of Scotland will be chanting and cheering for us.
[dramatic music]
[crowd cheering]
[dell dings]
[Alicia] The following is a triple threat match.
And it is for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship!
Introducing first the team
of Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre!
[Cole] The first of a number of homecomings
here tonight in Scotland.
For Alba Fyre, she was brought up in Paisley, just minutes from Glasgow.
Isla Dawn is from right here in Scotland's largest city.
And tonight, they look to bring tag team gold home.
[Corey] In my opinion, the key for these two women tonight is
to turnoff the noise.
You have to drown out the crowd and not pay attention.
Even though they're on your side,
you can't get too excited.
You can't let your heart start beating too fast.
Because, Wade, you know when you're excited before a match,
it can burn you out. It can take your win.
[Wade] No doubt about it.
You can be exhausted by the time the bell rings.
But what Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre need to remember is
that they both dominated Europe.
They dominated NXT.
And now is the time to dominate Raw and SmackDown.
[Alicia] Next, the team of:
Zoey Stark and Shayna Baszler!
[Cole] This duo won a fatal four-way tag team matchup
to earn a tag title opportunity.
When that happened a couple of weeks ago,
Fyre and Dawn ruined it,
forcing their way into this triple threat match here tonight.
[Wade] The most fiercely aggressive women
WWE has ever met bonded after battling one another.
Realize, hell, we're pretty much the same person.
Let's team up and wreck anyone who dares step in the ring with us.
[rock music]
[Corey] Shayna Baszler knows what it takes to make it to the top
of the tag team mountain as champion.
[Cole] Three-time tag champ.

[Alicia] And their opponents, they are
the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions,
the team of Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair!
[Cole] They won the tag titles back
at Backlash in France from the Kabuki Warriors.
But... the rules of this triple threat match
a little different.
Again, it's normal. First team to gain pinfall
or submission will get the tag team titles.
However, this will have three women in the ring at once.
And you can only tag your partner into this matchup.
So the champions, though they don't even have to be
involved in the decision to lose the gold, Corey.
[Corey] Certainly not a situation that benefits
the reigning champions.
But Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill look unbothered,
ready to do the work as they have done so dominantly recently.
[Wade] Cargill and Belair have been
so dominant since capturing those tag championships.
It might be the only way they could possibly lose them,
in fairness.
[Cole] Shayna Baszler, Zoey Stark have been recruited
as of late by Sonya Deville.
They say they don't need Sonya's advice.
So can they win tonight?
Shayna, Isla, and Belair will start things off.
[Corey] This is a very, very critical point in this matchup,
the opening moments, trying to gain some semblance
of an advantage for your team while realizing both other sets
of opponents are still fresh.
And guys, I just noticed the spikes that are weaved
through Bianca's braids, the face paint on Cargill,
these two remind me of a certain tag team.
They used to wear spikes on their shoulder pads.
We're talking power.
[Cole] And now, and Belair... looking to punish,
in the early going of this matchup, Shayna Baszler.
[Corey] Those big hammer-fists from Belair will scramble
your brain no matter how many fights you've been in.
[Cole] Oh, Dawn back into the fight, runs right into Baszler
as Bianca Belair is able to get out of harm's way.
[Wade] ...danger.
In this kind of matchup, you've always got
a fresh opponent somewhere.
Belair, at this point, wise to it.
[Corey] O'Connor roll.
[Cole] Shoulders down and a kick-out The Uber athletic,
three-time Women's World Champion, Bianca Belair,
EST of WWE.
Back suplex.
[Wade] Veteran of this tag championship team,
leading from the front.
[Corey] Belair.
[Cole] Oh, great move.
[Corey] Hook the leg.
[Cole] Cover on Baszler.
And Dawn going to break things up.
Dawn, a former tag team champion,
NXT Tag Team Champ, with the woman
she just tagged in, Alba Fyre.
And here comes Jade Cargill and Zoey Stark.
[Corey] Tags all around.
[Cole] Fyre debuted in 2009 here in Scotland
a three-time ICW Women's Champion as she worked
her way up the ranks to NXT UK
and then NXT and now Monday Night Raw.
[Wade] Alba Fyre was the number one woman in Europe
for years and years before she was picked up by WWE.
This woman is more than capable.
[Corey] Dueling top wristlocks by Zoey Stark and Alba Fyre.
I don't know if Jade's ever experienced
anything quite like this before.
[Cole] They're wrestling Cargill to the mat.
And look at the power of Jade Cargill!
[Corey] Oh, my!
[Cole] Oh, and again.
[Corey] This is outrageous core strength
from Jade Cargill right now.
[Cole] Oh, and just powering out of it.
And Cargill now with a double clothesline.
Jade Cargill, who made her debut at the Royal Rumble
this year, finished third in that matchup,
won a six-woman match at WrestleMania
in her debut on that stage.
[Corey] And right now, Cargill is like a runaway train.
[Cole] Splash after splash. Clothesline!
Down goes Stark.
And Fyre with a boot to the face.
And now, look at the power.
[Corey] Super human.
[Cole] Pressing Fyre onto her shoulders.
Zoey Stark!
Fallaway slam and a kip-up!
[Wade] Jade Cargill was beamed to this planet
from another dimension.
[Corey] Something a little more than human,
no doubt about that, as we look again at this outrageous power.
Samoan drop, fallaway slam combo.
Making it look easy.
[Cole] Think about how athletic the team
of Belair and Cargill is.
[Wade] It's a cheat code.
It's not fair.
But I'm enjoying watching.
[Corey] Lost into the lights
as Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn nearly put through the center of the ring.
[Wade] Tag champs are just making this look too easy.
It wasn't supposed to be this way.
[Corey] You know what they say, Wade,
the best tag team partners are the partners you can use as weapons.
[Cole] And now Baszler and Zoey Stark going to suffer
the wrath of Cargill and Belair.
Double vertical suplexes.
[Corey] I mean, guys, you have to admit it is mind blowing how
quickly Belair and Cargill have developed high-level,
tag-team chemistry.
It is absolutely remarkable.
[Cole] And now, it's time for the other two teams
to try to regroup here and figure out
what do you do to take out the dominant champ?
[crowd] Shayna scares me!
Shayna scares me!
[Cole] Well, opponents are huddling here at our announce table.
[Wade] You've got to form some kind of alliance
to stand any chance whatsoever against Belair and Cargill.
[Corey] You're right, Wade.
It's not the worst strategy I can think of,
team up with the other set of challengers
to eliminate the Champions from the equation
and turn this into more of a traditional tag match
than a triple threat.
[Cole] And now, they turn their attention
to taking out Jade Cargill.
[Wade] Never forget your friends.
[Corey] Oh!
[Wade] Your friends, for now, are sooner or later going to
become your enemies once again.
[Cole] Double team now by Baszler and Stark.
[Corey] Cross that bridge when you get to it, bad news.
And now, Isla Dawn, meteora!
[Wade] Tell you what, this Isla Dawn is some seductress,
kind of woman who can get men like us three innocents in a lot of trouble.
[Corey] It's also the same kind of woman,
if you don't call her back, your pet disappears.
[Cole] Ends up on the stove.
Rabbit stew.
[Corey] Tag made.
[Cole] Here comes Zoey and Isla Dawn.
Bianca Belair in all kinds of trouble.
[Wade] The seductress has turned vicious.
I love it.
[Corey] Wade, did you ever see the movie The Craft?
[Wade] I did not.
[Corey] Well, Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn are kind of like
if everybody was Nancy in that movie. It's not good for anybody.
Let's just suffice to say.
[Cole] Unholy union.
Zoey Stark.
So much for the alliance.
[Wade] It served its purpose.
Nowhere to be seen.
[Corey] And Shayna Baszler was the one, just a few feet in front of us,
called this audible in the middle of the match
and decide, "We had to change our strategy". It's working.
[Wade] I'll tell you about Shayna Baszler,
nothing is left to chance.
Everything is prefigured out in the dojo.
[Corey] Great athleticism by Stark.
[Wade] How long you spend in a dojo.
You can't learn that move.
[Cole] Zoey Stark with a clothesline to Belair.
They've done such a great job of taking the tag champs out
of the equation and really turning this
to a traditional tag match.
[Corey] I got to question Zoey's thought process there,
taking a moment to bask in the glory,
rather than to execute a cover and potentially become champion.
[Wade] You've got these brief windows of opportunity
to win a match in a triple threat tag like this.
You have to take it or you'l may end up regretting it.
[crowd chanting] No Scotland, no party!
[Cole] Baszler slips underneath.
Zoey Stark, sniper-like missile dropkick by Stark!
[Corey] Gut wrench.
Face first goes--
[Cole] Cover by Stark for the tag team titles!
And a kick-out at two by Dawn.
[Wade] Local crowd shouting no Scotland, no party.
Well, the two Scottish women at this point are getting battered.
[Corey] Maybe they need a sausage roll and some Irn-Bru.
[Cole] Oh, God!
[Wade] No, Buckfast, I think she heard you.
It's like the bat signal for Scottish people.
[Cole] Oh!
Right hand by Fyre.
And then, a kick to Stark.
And now, it's Alba Fyre showing off her skills
planting Baszler with a DDT.
Shayna Baszler sent over the top rope.
Alba Fyre, who once held the NXT United Kingdom
Women's Championship for 649 days, has the homeland crowd on their feet!
[Corey] Whoa
[Cole] Fyre throwing caution to the wind!
[Wade] Two-headed hydra of Fyre and Dawn,
has completely turned this matchup on its head.
[Cole] Alba fire quickly climbed to the top rope,
able to show off her skills tonight in this matchup.
Down goes Baszler, cover to win the gold.
Can she do it?
Breaking things up is the champ, Belair.
[Wade] Veteran smart by Alba Fyre, knowing she had that window
for victory as she puts her own body
on the line in front of this partisan audience baying
for blood, almost, almost winning those Women's Tag--
[Corey] Alba understands what the stakes are tonight,
not only national pride,
but the WWE Tag Team Championships.
[Cole] Tag made. Here comes Dawn.
[Wade] Baszler just being mistreated like she rarely has been
in her entire career.
That is one double woman as we see before our eyes.
[Cole] This past Monday, Baszler and Stark knocked off
Dawn and Fyre in a tag team matchup.
When asked about it afterward,
they said, "We didn't give our all.
Why would we give our all in stupid Ohio when we could give our all in Scotland?"
[Wade] Never show your full hand,
keep your opponents guessing.
[Cole] Now, Baszler back to her feet.
[Wade] Got a peek at the right time in this game.
And this is the right time for all of these women.
[Cole] That was your excuse?
[Wade] I never peeked.
[Cole] And look at this!
Oh, goodness!
[Corey] Isla Dawn initiated the powerbomb
that inadvertently superplexed her own partner.
[Cole] And Dawn is hurt, I believe.
I believe she hurt her elbow when she--
when she landed hard.
And now, Belair.
[Corey] Not a lot of real estate to work with
on the top turnbuckle.
Both women jockeying for position.
[Cole] And Zoey Stark on the top rope, superplex by Belair,
who landed hard on her neck!
[Corey] That was a nasty landing for Bianca.
[Wade] Power battle like that on the top rope,
you back Bianca Belair every single time.
But you're right.
There's only one woman on her feet now
as gingerly as it may be.
[Cole] Jade Cargill trying to insert herself back
into the equation.
Spinebuster!
[Corey] And that might actually bode worse
for all of Jade's opponents because she is extra fired up right now.
[Cole] Fyre caught by Cargill.
Look at the power again!
Kick to Baszler!
Down goes Fyre!
Cover.
Baszler with a knee.
Talk about flexibility.
[Corey] Turn the tides in this one.
The Kirifuda Clutch cinched in!
I don't know what Jade--
did Jade just tap out?
[Cole] Did Cargill tap?
[Corey] Obviously, Jessika Carr wasn't
in that same point of view.
[Cole] Yeah, Jessika Carr was blinded by Baszler.
Looked like Cargill may have tapped.
[Wade] But it might be academic here.
Looks like she's going out anyway.
[Cole] Now, trying to fight back. Look at this.
Baszler with a Kirifuda Clutch.
That's one of her many championships.
Cargill back to her feet, now collapsing down to a knee.
[Wade] I don't know how many times in her short career
Jade Cargill has been in this kind of hole.
But I promise you, it's never been applied by an expert
like Shayna Baszler.
[Corey] I have never seen anyone make Jade fade quite like this.
But keep your eyes on the skies,
the EST on the top turnbuckle!
Belair!
[Cole] Oh, my goodness!
A knee right to the spine!
Baszler may have a broken back!
[Wade] With all the momentum of that 450
Corey, right on the spine.
[Corey] That was brutal.
But watch Stark.
[Wade] Oh!
[Corey] Intercepted out of the sky.
[Cole] And now, Belair putting on a show.
Cargill back to her feet, just in time with the right hand.
Double team coming now by the tag Team Champions.
[Wade] Time to go to bed, ladies.
[Cole] Oh!
That DDT!
[Wade] Good night.
[Cole] Cover!
Cargill trying to go for the cover.
But Isla Dawn able to deliver a German suplex to Cargill!
Cover, by Dawn!
Hook of the leg!
New Tag Champs!
You got to be kidding me!
[Alicia] Here are your winners
and new
WWE Women's Tag Team Champions,
Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn!
[Cole] They took advantage!
[Corey] I just had half the row behind me
just hugging me simultaneously!
Celebration tonight in Glasgow!
What a shock!
[Cole] Belair and Cargill did the damage!
Dawn picked the bones!
Dawn and Fyre are the Women's Tag Team Champions!
[Wade] However you get there, that is
the smartest thing you can do.
And Scottish pride that was damaged last night
by the football team is fully restored
by Fyre and Dawn again.
[Corey] Watch this, Shayna Baszler, I don't how
she could even move after that.
Knees right to her spine.
[Cole] Cargill and Bianca dominated, Corey.
But this is the risk of a triple threat match
when you're a champion.
[Corey] Isla Dawn had the wherewithal to neutralize
Cargill with a suplex.
Alba Fyre's on the outside holding Jade's ankle.
It allowed Alba--
I'm sorry, Isla to slide into the cover
and crown new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
[Cole] Hometown ladies make good,
in Glasgow, Scotland.
And so many family members here for Dawn and Alba Fyre.
And this is a...
got to be just an incredible emotional release for...
for Alba Fyre here tonight.
For those of you that know, it's been
a very emotional three weeks for that young woman.
Family tragedy, she was able to put it all behind her tonight
to be able to perform in front of her homeland,
and... her family, and not only perform, but...
but win the tagteam titles.
Just an incredible, incredible moment.
[crowd chanting]
[Corey] Amazingly, the iron throne
of the WWE Women's Tag Team titles was overtaken
by the Scots tonight.
[dramatic music]
[Cole] You know, those two women talked
a lot about opportunity.
They got their opportunity tonight.
And they didn't miss.
[Corey] Well, tonight is Clash At The Castle here at the Hydro.
But last night, Wade, we kicked things off proper
with Friday Night SmackDown
live from the OVO Hydro.
[Wade] What an appetizer it was.
This place came unglued.
And it's only getting crazier.
[Corey] We want to take a minute to send a very special thank you
to Wargasm UK for "Do It So Good", the official theme song
of WWE Clash at the Castle.
It's from the album Venom.
And it's available now on Apple Music and Spotify.
[Cole] Well, you know darkness looms
over two former brothers-in-arms, Sami Zayn once again defend
his Intercontinental Championship against
the unforgiving Chad Gable.
Let's look at the unrelenting story
that has turned friends to foes.
[dramatic music]
[Cole] Tonight, we are inside the Jeddah Superdome
in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Sami Zayn defends in a triple threat match
against Bronson Reed and Chad Gable.
Stick with the plan.
Remember what I told you when the time is right.
Got it?
Now's the time!
[Cole] Oh!
Gable called for the plan to go in.
What's it going to take for you to wake up, huh?
[Cole] Oh, no!
Otis inadvertently ran over his coach, Chad Gable!
[Corey] Sami Zayn has got daylight!
[Cole] The helluva kick!
Sami retains!
[Corey] Tonight belongs to Sami Zayn.
[Cole] It's going to be a long ride back to the states.
[Chad] I've had enough!
You lack discipline, Otis.
I'm going to show you discipline.
I don't want to do this.
You made me do this.
[Cole] Oh, my goodness.
Now, grab the rope.
This is what happens when you bring shame
to the Alpha Academy!
This is going to hurt me a lot more than it hurts you.
I suggest you turn around right now!
What are you going to do, Chad, huh?
You have manipulated your way into opportunity after opportunity.
And yet every single time you did, you came up short.
You're the one who can't get the job done!
I would have got the job done if it wasn't
for this idiot right here!
So now, he gets his discipline!
How much more of his crap are you going to take?
You know what the right thing to do--
[Cole] Sami's days as the Intercontinental Champion
could be numbered.
[Sami] I have decided it has gone on long enough.
This is about you and me!
Chad told us don't deserve his time or respect tonight.
The only way this ends is you giving me
my Intercontinental Championship match.
If that's what it's going to take to put an end to this,
tell him he's got it.
[Cole] Gable set this all up!
[Sami] Why, Otis, why?
I can't figure out why you keep putting up with Chad Gable
after everything he puts you through week in, week out.
[Cole] What version of Otis will Sami Zayn face?
Stick with the plan, idiot.
[Cole] Helluva hit out of nowhere!
For the win!
And now, Gable again attacking Zayn!
Get out of my ring!
Get out!
[Cole] Otis went right after Sami Zayn.
[Chad] We're a family.
And families stick together no matter what.
[exciting music]
[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
And it is for the Intercontinental Championship!
Introducing first, accompanied by Maxxine Dupri and Otis,
representing Alpha Academy from Minneapolis,
Minnesota, weighing in at 202 pounds, Chad Gable!
[Cole] That man there, a former US Olympian,
a multi-time tag team champion, has never won
a singles championship in WWE.
Corey, Chad Gable is a competitor.
And that eats at him.
[Corey] Chad Gable was more than a competitor.
Chad Gable is an animal.
Chad Gable has what it takes to make it to the United States
Olympic team.
We are talking about one of the toughest,
most incredible athletes in WWE.
Had it not been for Gable constantly
dragging around dead weight,
Chad Gable would have probably been champion
two or three times over by now.
["Worlds apart" playing]
[crowd] ♪ Let's go! ♪
[Alicia] And his opponent from Montreal, Quebec, Canada,
weighing in at 212 pounds, he is
the Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn!
[Cole] Guys, I mentioned this stat on Raw this past Monday night
when Bron Breaker took on Ilja Dragunov
that they were two of three men to have beaten Gunther
since he arrived on the scene in WWE.
The third man, you're looking at him, Sami Zayn,
who ended Gunther's 666-day reign as Intercontinental Champion at WrestleMania.
[Corey] After being trained by Chad Gable.
[Cole] And I got a theory on that.
I've got a theory on what is Chad Gable's issues.
And...
All right.
That's not comforting.
Wow. Um--
[Corey] Well, listen, if Chad Gable wants
to win the Intercontinental title tonight,
all he needs to do is wait for Sami Zayn
to stop what he's doing to deliver unsolicited advice.
Because Sami Zayn knows everybody's business better
than they know themselves.
Which is why we're in this position to begin with.
[crowd singing]
[Wade] Are we ever going to hear this theory, Cole?
I've been waiting for two minutes.
[Cole] Well, I was allowing the WWE fans,
who paid good money to be here tonight, Wade,
make their voice be heard.
[Wade] But you're being paid to make your voice heard.
So let's hear it. Earn your money.
[Cole] My theory is this.
Chad Gable could not beat Gunther on numerous occasions
to win the championship.
So what does he do?
He trains Sami Zayn to beat Gunther at WrestleMania,
which Sami does.
Because Gable believes it's easier to beat Sami
than it is to beat Gunther.
Gable gets his opportunity in Montreal.
What happens?
Sami beats him.
Gable goes completely off the deep end
because his plan backfired.
[Wade] Was-- was--
Was the moon landing filmed
in a Hollywood basement too?
And what about Chappaquiddick?
You want to get into all that stuff, man?
We are going off the rails here, Cole.
[Corey] This is not a conspiracy theory.
We know what Chad Gable is capable of.
And we know that Sami Zayn has been sticking his nose
in Gable's business, disrupting life within the Alpha Academy,
because Sami can't stand to see any type
of anything he perceives as injustice, which is everything.
[Wade] And listen, Cole.
Even haters like you, as much as you apparently despise
Chad Gable, the new version of him, you have to admit,
he has never, in his career, been more dangerous than he is today.
[crowd singing]
[Corey] I know this one.
This is "Baby Give It Up," right?
Wade, I need some help here.
[Wade] I think we need to pay royalties
if we sing along to it technically.
So I might want to avoid it.
But I think you're right, Corey.
[Cole] Chad Gable looking to refocus,
collar and elbow tie-up the Intercontinental Champion,
Sami Zayn.
Listen, sometimes you're just not quite good enough to win the big one.
And Chad Gable has not been able to win the big one yet.
And that sticks in his craw.
[Wade] That's a good thing.
That's an obsession.
That's a guy who is driven to be better and better.
[Cole] But here's the problem.
I think he-- I don't think he believes in himself anymore.
I don't think he believes he can get the job done.
That's why he wants Otis and Maxxine to get involved in these matches.
[Corey] When you got Sami Zayn planting seeds of dissension
at every given turn, of course there's going to be
some problems within the Academy.
Gable should be able to count on the support
of Maxxine and Otis.
But instead, Sami is trying to drive wedges because that's
what Sami does best.
[Cole] It's because--
[Wade] There's your conspiracy theory, Cole.
Sami Zayn is terrified of master Chad Gable,
the man he turned to in his hour of need
before WrestleMania.
Now, as Corey says, a wedge is being driven
in the Alpha Academy.
And it's all mind games from Sami Zayn.
[Corey] It's like taking Master Splinter
away from the Ninja Turtles.
They'd be useless then.
Side headlock takeover applied by Gable.
Both superstars giving each other
a healthy respect in the early moments of this matchup.
[Cole] I believe the two people at ringside,
Otis and Maxxine, are suffering from Stockholm syndrome.
[Corey] When did you become a psychiatrist, Cole?
[Wade] No, no, no. Cole, listen.
Otis and Maxxine, they like the good life, the fun life.
They like coming out, doing the whole huge thing.
Everyone's saying, yeah, ha ha, laugh, waiting
for Alpha Academy to lose.
Hey, we'll see you again next week.
Chad Gable is so much better than a court jester.
And it's time people like you
and this audience around the world started accepting.
[Corey] That's why you're my partner, Wade.
We need to give Chad Gable his flowers.
What was Maxxine Dupri doing before Chad Gable and the Alpha Academy?
She looks great.
But we didn't know what she was capable of.
Otis thought he was a damn dump truck.
[Cole] Gable looking for the ankle lock.
Sami Zayn wisely makes it to the ropes.
Going to have to force a break.
[Wade] Why didn't Nick Aldis draft Chad Gable to SmackDown?
That's what I want to know, Corey.
[Corey] Because Adam Pearce is a better general manager?
[Wade] Oh, here we go.
[Corey] Attaboy, Gable.
Turn up the heat.
[crowd] You suck!
You suck!
[Cole] Gable, shot up over the top rope
by Zayn and outside.
And now, Sami Zayn has Chad where he wants him.
And Zayn... he's going to fly and thought different about it
as Gable had moved out of harm's way.
[Wade] Chad Gable's reflexes second to no--
Remember what I said.
[Cole] I can imagine what this is all about.
Meanwhile, Gable cares about his pupils.
Poor Maxxine is out here limping around in a boot on her foot.
She shouldn't even be out here at ringside.
Gable still drags her out here.
[Wade] How are you supposed to learn if you're
not watching the master?
You have to listen to the man. He's giving them tactical advice.
Here's how I'm going to do this. Here's how I'm going to win.
[Corey] I don't know who's doing more gaslighting, Cole, you or Sami Zayn?
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Sami has been begging Otis to break away
from that goofy Gable
because he Acould be something by himself.
[Wade] No, goofy Gable was the guy who said shoosh.
There's nothing goofy about this version.
[Cole] Oh, and that won't sit well with the champion.
Nice high sidebheadlock takedown.
But Gable turns it around.
Listen, Sami is not going to win a technical wrestling match against Gable.
There's no doubt about that.
[Wade] Gable, time and again, going for that ankle lock.
Sami Zayn has had to defend it pretty damn well thus far.
[Corey] Gable just kicked the wrist of Zayn and
now attacking the shoulder.
And the left arm of Sami Zayn coming up lame here.
[Wade] That is the brilliance of Chad Gable.
He kept going for that ankle.
He knew that Sami Zayn would have
that well scouted, leaving his shoulder, his arm wide open.
Now, the bullseye has moved.
[Cole] Nobody is saying that Gable isn't brilliant.
But, then he turns around,
then, he turns around and he barks at Otis?
I mean, he's an ass. That's what he is.
He's an ass.
[Wade] Did you see how I did that, Otis?
That's what you should be doing next match you have.
It's all a learning experience.
It's a teachable moment as Chase U in NXT might say.
[Cole] It's not what he said to him, Wade.
[Wade] You're a lip reader now?
[Cole] I heard him. He's two feet away from me.
[Wade] No, no. The crowd was yelling.
You did not hear what that man said.
You're seeing and hearing what you want to hear.
[Cole] And now, Gable, turning his attention
to the injured arm of the Intercontinental Champion,
the left arm of Sami Zayn.
[Wade] He's had two shoulder surgeries on that arm.
He's had a bunch of elbow problems.
That is called scouting your opponent.
[Cole] Cover.
Kick-out by Zayn at two.
[crowd booing]
Again, Otis has just been so conflicted in recent weeks.
[Corey] It's all speculation.
How many conversations have you had with Otis?
[Cole] A number, actually.
I actually do my job.
[Wade] People are resistant to change, Cole.
[Corey] He's not on my show anyway.
How the hell am I supposed to talk to him, Cole?
[Cole] You want to translate that for us, Wade?
[crowd singing]
[Wade] It's the conga.
I can tell you the original version.
This version is twisted in Scottish parlance.
I can't quite understand it.
[Corey] Are they going to play this later tonight at King Toot Toot's?
[Wade] We might go to the Garich, actually.
[Corey] Up and over to the outside.
And again, refocusing the attack.
[crowd] Otis! Otis!
Otis!
[Corey] This place is electric tonight.
Over 14,000.
[Wade] See that.
That was a lesson about focus, Michael Cole.
Go on. Twist it into your own little world.
-[Cole] Yeah-- -[Wade] Let's hear what--
[Cole] He's telling Otis to focus because he doesn't want
Otis to listen to 14,000 people cheering for him,
begging him to do the right thing.
[Wade] Begging him to go down the wrong pathway in life.
[Cole] It's all propaganda to Otis is what Chad is--
[Wade] Propaganda, perfect word, that sums up Michael Cole.
[Corey] Isn't immorality Scotland's greatest export, Cole?
Big forearms from Gable in the corner.
[Cole] Sami Zayn now collapsing
in the corner, near helpless.
Gable's putting on a clinic as we speak.
I think he's telling Otis to, "Hey, stay focused,
because when I need you, you got to be ready."
This has nothing to do with training Otis.
It has to... do with making sure Otis is
in place when Gable needs him.
[Wade] Sami Zayn continuing to have issues with that arm.
Don't forget.
Sami Zayn throws a ton of strikes.
[Corey] Gable!
[Wade] Absolutely potentially going to hamper the offense of Sami Zayn,
although he now finally has the upper hand.
[Corey] Wade, unfortunately,
you know as well as I do what Sami Zayn is made of in the ring.
I doubt there's anyone on the roster with as much heart
as Sami Zayn.
I'll give him credit where it's due.
[Wade] Heart and durability is great.
But he's fighting one-handed now.
And Chad Gable knows all about destroying
a man who has a weakness.
[crowd] ♪ Ole! ♪
♪ Ole! ♪
♪ Ole! Ole! ♪
♪ Ole! ♪
[Cole] Zayn, leapfrog.
Sends Gable, tries to send him and does over the top rope.
[Wade] The issues with that arm of Sami Zayn,
could not pull up an Irish whip,
could barely clothesline Chad Gable over the top ropes.
[Cole] But Zayn will be damned
if he lose the championship to Chad Gable,
the man who attacked Sami in front of his family in Montreal.
Off the top rope, Gable goes down!
And now, Sami Zayn trying to get some feeling back
into the injured arm.
[crowd singing]
[Cole] Gable sent back into the ring.
The Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn, trying to feed
off the WWE fans in Scotland.
[Wade] Really got Chad Gable on the ropes here,
stumbling around.
[Cole] Gable with a dropkick, cover!
For the title, is it enough?
Sami kicked at two!
[Wade] Another example of the classic tactics of Chad Gable,
stumbling around but playing possum,
baiting the champion into a mistake.
And now, back on the offense is
the mentality monster that is Chad Gable.
[Cole] Corey, to your point, just the resilience
and guts of Sami Zayn.
[Corey] Sami doesn't know the definition of the word "quit."
Sami Zayn quite literally wakes up every morning looking
for new WWE fans to impress.
It's what drives Sami Zayn.
He wants to be the greatest in the world.
[Cole] Oh, look at that fall!
[Corey] Michinoku Driver!
[Cole] Almost had him and a kick-out at two!
[Corey] There are few superstars in the game who have such
a synergistic relationship with the WWE Universe as Sami Zayn.
As we look again at why you can never count Sami Zayn out,
a one-armed Michinoku Driver that nearly ended
Gable's championship hopes.
[Cole] It's that sudden offense of Sami Zayn,
he can pull it out of nowhere at times.
[Wade] The sneaky athleticism, he's not the guy
you expect to pull off the kind of moves he can.
[Cole] Now, Sami.
Again, that left arm giving out,
looked like maybe he was going to go
for the blue thunder bomb.
And again, the left arm trying to get some feeling
back into it, the champion.
Hoisting Gable up.
Gable able to counter.
Now, back onto the arm.
[Wade] Sami Zayn so hampered at this point.
And Chad Gable just all over those issues like a rash.
[Corey] Oh, vicious powerbomb by Gable who's hustling
toward the top turnbuckle!
[Cole] Gable from up top.
Sami halfway across the ring.
Flying headbutt connected.
For the championship, first of his career.
Zayn at two and a half.
[Wade] Extreme levels of focus, extreme levels of intensity
from Chad Gable, who continues to inch closer
to that elusive Intercontinental Championship.
[Corey] Take another look at the diving headbutt executed
by Gable right to the shoulder of Sami Zayn.
Very nearly ended this, but not enough to do the job.
And Sami Zayn, like him or not, is a survivor.
[Cole] A German suplex.
Gable continues to keep the arms locked.
[Corey] Zayn is running on fumes right now.
[Cole] Second German suplex by Gable.
[Corey] Instinct and instinct alone.
[Cole] Gable looking for a third.
Sami... a couple of well-placed elbows.
Breaks the grip.
Standing switch by Sami into a German of his own.
And now, Sami Zayn going to look to punish Chad Gable.
Gable landing high on the neck.
Sami looking for a third.
Gable with a standing switch.
Sami, one of his own.
And around and around they go.
Sami with the upper hand!
[Corey] Half-and-half suplex, spike Gable!
[Cole] Cover to retain the Intercontinental title!
Kick-out by Gable!
[Wade] And Sami Zayn incapable of hooking a leg on that pin
thanks to the abuse to that arm.
It was a sloppy pin.
In the end, there was nothing Zayn could have done about it.
Had he been able to hook that leg, we might have had a win.
[Cole] Intercontinental Championship on the line,
Sami Zayn versus Chad Gable.
[Corey] Look at the landing one more time for Chad Gable.
Right on the crown of his skull.
[Wade] And you take a move like that, desperately try and protect yourself.
Land as flat on your back or your stomach, whatever way.
The worst way to land, directly on the top of your head.
[Corey] Gable might be about a half an inch shorter
than he was at the beginning of this match after that landing.
Don't tell him I said that.
[Cole] These two men with a just total disdain for one another.
And Gable firing back.
[Wade] We're at a point in a match
where it's about who has the deepest tank.
And I wouldn't bet against the Olympian.
[Corey] I wouldn't bet against Sami Zayn.
Take down!
Crossface submission cinched in, an absolutely sudden takedown
by Chad Gable.
[Cole] Sami center of the ring.
Is he going to tap?
If he taps out, Gable's the champ.
Sami Zayn, what can he do here?
[Wade] He's never been closer to
the Intercontinental Championship.
He has to be merciless at this point.
[Cole] Zayn trying to make it back to his feet.
Nice takedown by Sami Zayn.
And Sami turns it one of his own!
Sami with a crossface on Gable!
And now, it's Gable who may tap out.
And how humiliating would that be?
[Wade] Impossible to ever write off Sami Zayn.
Just unrivaled competitive spirit,
but there's a lot said about Chad Gable,
who is back on the ankle!
[Cole] Pick the ankle, drags Sami to the middle of the ring!
Ankle locked in, Sami writhing in pain!
This is it!
Talk to me, Sami.
Shut the hell up!
Come on, Sami!
It's over!
[Cole] Zayn trying to hang on.
Gable trying to break his ankle.
[shouting]
[Corey] This keeps up much longer,
Gable is going to rip Sami's foot clean off his leg.
I'll stop it right now, Sami!
[Cole] Back to the center of the ring.
Champ's in trouble.
He may have to tap here.
[Wade] And that was it for Zayn, surely.
[Cole] Sami, roll-up, shoulders down.
Almost had him!
Desperation counter by Zayn.
Now, he's got a bum arm.
Now, he's got a bum leg.
[Wade] Yeah, panic and despair starting to etch itself
on the face of the challenger.
Chad Gable, where do you go from here?
[Cole] Yeah, Gable has to be wondering,
what do I need to do to put Sami Zayn away?
The blows.
[Corey] Gable just needs to stay the course.
Maybe the last pinfall attempt didn't work.
But Gable is still in complete control.
And he just nodded to Otis.
Well, that's not your title yet, Gable.
That's not your championship.
[Wade] Don't get yourself disqualified.
Get rid of it.
And get it back in here.
Let's go.
[Corey] It was bad luck to hold a trophy you haven't won.
[Wade] It's tactical.
It's strategic.
It's a game plan here.
Just trust the master.
[Cole] Yeah, I'm sure it is.
I'm sure it's fair too and legal.
Using a four count as he--
Maxxine used the title!
Sami with the title!
Don't do it, Maxxine!
Don't do it!
[Wade] Do it!
[Cole] Thank goodness.
Hey!
Get up here!
Get up here right now!
We talked about this over and over.
I'm sick of this.
Sick of you never listening.
I'm sick of all this crap.
Every time I tell you to do something,
every time, every time--
[Cole] Sami Zayn, right for the helluva kick,
almost hit Maxxine!
Chad Gable going to take advantage!
[Corey] Chaos Theory!
[Cole] Connecting for the win off the Maxxine distraction!
Sami kicked out!
Sami kicked out of Chaos Theory at two!
Gable is going to lose it!
Gable thought he had the title!
[Corey] Stay the course, Chad.
[Cole] Sami almost inadvertently helluva kicked Maxxine.
-And now, Maxxine-- -[Wade] This should already be over, Cole.
[Cole] Maxxine ispleading with Gable.
She's saying, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Every single week, I have to get after you.
[crowd clamoring]
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Sami Zayn!
Otis shoved Gable out of harm's way!
He took the bullet for Sami!
Wake up, Otis!
[Corey] Now, Gable making the climb to the top turnbuckle.
Target acquired!
[Cole] And taking out both Otis and Zayn!
[Corey] Look at the urgency in Gable!
Going to get Sami back in the ring!
Finish the job!
[Cole] Gable going to go up top,
looking for his patented moonsault.
Chad Gable, top rope.
Sami rolls out of harm's way.
Exploder into the corner!
[crowd cheering]
Went for the helluva kick with the bad leg, gave way.
The leg that Gable had worked on throughout the match up
with the ankle lock gave way for Sami Zayn.
[Wade] Those amazing powers of recovery of Chad Gable ducking out-- oh.
[Cole] And, now--
[Corey] Sami's not-- Sami Zayn now looking to...
[Cole] Sami off the barricade.
Tremendous balance, but Gable grabbed the bad leg.
And now, the ankle lock on the barricade!
[Wade] Can't win it outside the ring.
But you can do a hell of a lot of damage in the meantime.
[Cole] Well, Sami's got champion's advantage.
Gable's got a pin or submit Sami inside of the ring.
Oh!
Oh, no!
[Wade] Completely inadvertent.
That was Sami Zayn's fault.
[Cole] Well, Gable shouldn't have had Maxine
out here in the first place.
I've been saying it since the beginning.
[crowd clamoring]
Make him pay, Otis!
[crowd chanting]
[Wade] Maxxine has been nothing but a hindrance
to Chad Gable in this match.
[Cole] Meanwhile, Gable is distracting
the official hoping that Otis does
some more damage to Sami Zayn.
[Wade] Use your jug, Otis.
[Cole] Otis won't pull the trigger!
Otis is conflicted here yet again tonight!
Gable begging Otis to do something!
[Wade] Earn your keep.
[Cole] Do the right thing, Otis.
And Otis going to the aid of poor Maxxine,
getting her out of harm's way.
Chivalry isn't dead.
[Wade] Two students that are completely uncoachable.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Helluva kick off the distraction!
Sami into the cover on Gable!
Sami Zayn retains the title!
["Worlds apart" playing]
[Alicia] Here is your winner and still
the Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn!
[Cole] Well, thank goodness, Otis got Maxxine out of harm's way.
[Corey] I don't need to be thanking
Otis for much of anything other than being a hindrance.
But you got to give credit--
[Cole] A hindrance to what? Because he didn't cheat?
Because he didn't attack Sami Zayn?
Because he didn't do what Master Gable wanted him to do?
[Wade] You can beat the greatest carpenter in the world.
But if your tools don't work, you are worthless.
And tonight, Otis and Maxxine are worthless tools.
[Corey] Here's where it all began to go south, as Sami was able
to put the brakes on and avoid contact with Maxxine,
which opened the door for the Chaos Theory,
stacked high on Zayn's shoulders.
It seemed as though Gable had the win in hand.
But such would not be the case.
[Cole] Yeah, Sami Zayn taking out Otis, who shoved
Gable out of harm's way.
And then, this.
Obviously, inadvertent.
Zayn breaking the hold.
And then, Otis getting Maxxine out of harm's way.
That distraction would cost Sami Zayn allowing...
cost Chad Gable, I meant, Zayn delivering the helluva kick
and able to pick up the victory.
[Corey] I hope--
[Wade] ...away from Sami Zayn,
who continues to confound when he's in the worst situation,
meandering his way to victory.
But what the hell is this going to do
to the mindset of Chad Gable?
[Cole] Chad Gable...
did not get the job done in the big one again.
He tried everything.
He tried to utilize the Alpha Academy.
He tried to tap the champion out.
But in the end, Sami Zayn survives.
And he says that's it.
That's all the chances you get, Mr. Gable.
This is done.
[crowd] Let's go!
Right now, I am here with Scotland's own
and new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
Saw you guys getting emotional out there after that win.
Seems like a career highlight here tonight in Glasgow.
What does this moment mean for you?
Honestly, it means so much.
But we said we were showing up here tonight
and winning those titles.
And that's exactly what we did.
Shayna and Zoey, Jade and Bianca,
they had absolutely zero chance of beating us when we had
all of Scotland behind us.
I mean, she says, all of Scotland,
she means all of Scotland.
And there is no way we were letting every one of them down.
I think we'll be keeping these for a while.
Well, thank you guys so much.
Congratulations again.
I heard the WWE Universe out there that they are behind you guys as well.
I'm going to send it back out to Michael Cole.
Thanks, Kathy.
Nonetheless, the Scotland-- oh, the Scotland fans got
to cheer for the new Tag-Team Champions.
It could happen again in our next match-up
because the WWE Women's Championship is on the line.
Yeah, Bayley defending against this woman
from Scotland, Piper Niven.
[Doudrop] I've trained for this moment forever.
The moment that I can stand in front
of my family, friends, fans, believers, non-believers
and say, I did it.
[Corey] Piper Niven not a woman to mess with.
[Doudrop] I've been digging and clawing
my way out of the trenches and putting
Scottish wrestling on the map.
[Corey] She's an incredibly talented athlete.
She's dangerous as the day is long.
[Doudrop] Some words that my husband taught me.
Let them know you are here.
That's what I'm going to do tonight.
And that's what I hope you're going to do tonight.
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] Well, the ever-clever Bayley must fight
to retain the WWE Women's Championship
against the Scottish Piper Niven in her motherland.
Let's get an inside look on the vicious trials
that have brought Bayley to this match-up tonight.
[Bayley] I feel so damn proud to call myself
WWE Women's Champion.
Now, you guys know this isn't my first time being a champion,
but this one feels so damn special,
because I get to call myself a champion for this brand new, exciting era.
This championship represents more than just being the best.
This represents the most talented locker room
I've ever been a part of.
You guys never gave up on my vision,
and I thank you so much.
[Corey] Oh, wait a minute.
Piper Niven just flattened the champion.
[Cole] Piper Niven has fire in her eyes
and malice in her heart.
[Wade] This shows how devastating Piper Niven can be.
[Cole] And Piper's not done.
[Wade] Bayley's got something the rest of the roster wants,
that WWE Women's Championship.
At Clash at the Castle, I face Piper Niven
for the very first time.
[Wade] In Niven's home country, Glasgow, Scotland,
Bayley defends her WWE Women's Championship
against the Scottish Bone Crusher, Piper Niven.
And you're going to be a loser yet again when
When Little Miss P finishes you.
This means more than just a title match for you.
I know what it means to wrestle in front of your family.
It means everything.
So as much respect as I have for you, Piper,
I'm going to have some damn fun beating you.
I'm so glad that you have this respect for me
and my journey, if it wasn't for the fact
that you know nothing about me and my journey.
I've been digging and clawing my way out of the trenches.
So while you walked into a ready-made scene,
dishing out hugs and high fives,
I was busy being a trailblazer.
And if you had any idea just how dangerous I really am,
you wouldn't dare stand so close to me.
And you can respect me all you like,
but it won't stop me from drilling your head into the mat
and taking that title off you.
[Cole] Home-field advantage belongs to the challenger.

[Cole] Piper Niven was brought up in Kilbirnie,
which is a little to the South and West
of where we are tonight, Glasgow, Scotland.
She said, I got tired of patiently waiting,
and I started kicking down doors.
And unfortunately, nobody told Bayley not to answer
the door to Piper Niven.
[Corey] Piper Niven looks like a woman on a mission tonight,
accompanied to ringside by a Spicy McHaggis tonight.
[Cole] She was on the countdown show with me.
She's a piece of work.
[Wade] There is a Scottish superhero
by the name of Supergran, who I believe Chelsea Green has modeled herself on.
But tonight is all about this woman's attempt.
It's been a long and storied career here in Europe,
and tonight needs to be the crowning moment
of glory for Piper Niven.
[yells]
[crowd cheering]
["WWE-- Taste the Jealousy, Piper Niven" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Piper Niven hoping to start her legacy tonight.
The woman who began her career in Scotland as Viper.
[ceremonial music]
[woman] Role model.
[Cole] Happy birthday to the WWE Women's Champion, Bayley.
[Corey] Say it once more with feeling, Michael Cole.
[Cole] Happy birthday!
I know you got something left in you, baby.
[Corey] Bayley has got to feel like she is on top of the world tonight
despite being moments away
from what will surely be one of the toughest tests of her career.
Bayley has been a stalwart of the women's division.
The women's divisions on both Raw and Friday Night SmackDown are,
arguably, healthier than they've ever been,
and this woman is no small reason why.
Bayley loves that the women's divisions are
thriving in this business.
[Cole] I said it yesterday at the kickoff show, and I meant it.
I think you're looking at a first-ballot Hall of
Famer here.
I mean, Bayley is a four-time World Champion,
NXT champion, two-time tag, Miss Money in the bank.
And she set a record in the Royal Rumble
this year when she lasted 1 hour, 3 minutes, and 2 seconds
with seven eliminations to win the damn thing.
[Corey] Well, and we heard Bayley tell Piper Niven,
if you wanted a shot at the title, just ask.
Niven chose the hard path, but either way, the destination remains the same.
What do you do with the opportunity?
[Wade] Hugely uncomfortable with you saying
anything nice about Bayley, Cole.
She still says nothing nice about you.
Let's go, baby!
[crowd cheering]
[bell ringing]
The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
and it is for the WWE Women's Championship.
[crowd cheering]
Introducing the challenger, accompanied to the ring
by Chelsea Green.
From Kilbirnie, Ayrshire, Scotland,
Piper Niven!
[crowd cheering]
And her opponent.
From San Jose, California,
she is the WWE Women's Champion, Bayley!
[crowd cheering]
[crowd booing]
[Cole] Piper Niven is a trailblazer
in Scottish women's wrestling.
As a teenager, she kept the love of wrestling to herself
because she didn't want to be thought of as a weirdo
because wrestling was for boys.
But she would debut at the age of 16 years old.
She'd be the inaugural two-time ICW Women's Champion
before becoming a pioneer of NXT UK.
And tonight, she hopes to win her first WWE Women's Championship.
[Corey] Everything that Piper did to get to this point might
as well be ancient history, Cole, because you know
as well as I do, in this business,
it's what have you done for me lately?
And right now, Bayley is the woman to beat.
[Wade] Piper, the woman who is a veteran.
But she has never come close to this kind of pressure,
this kind of spotlight, this kind of environment,
where an entire nation is hanging
its hopes on your performance.
[Cole] From behind Bayley, as well,
WWE fans serenading Bayley there moments ago.
Match-up now underway,
and Piper looks to overpower Bayley.
[Wade] Well, I've got to tell you, that serenading of Bayley.
I think that will throw Piper Niven off.
She's the hometown girl here.
They're chanting for Bayley right now.
Bayley. Get her!
Let's lock it up.
[Cole] Bayley's got to be careful of Chelsea Green.
[Corey] Not unlike we said about Alba and Ayla, Wade,
I think Piper needs to do her best to not pay attention
to the WWE Universe right now, particularly
if they're on the side of the very popular Bayley.
[Wade] I agree with you.
Home-field advantage.
[Corey] Oh, Chelsea with a cheap shot.
[Wade] Home-field advantage is sometimes overblown.
Yeah, it can give you a little boost,
but it's not some magic pill that means
you're automatically going to win,
especially not against someone like Bayley.
[Cole] And Bayley, a couple of forearms to Piper
who came out to step between Bayley and Chelsea Green.
A headbutt now by Piper.
[Wade] Ina war of attrition, there's
only going to be one winner, and that is Piper Niven.
She's done.
[Cole] Chelsea enjoying this, especially after she inserted herself
in this match-up.
Yeah, whatever.
And now Bayley, waistlock on Piper.
And Piper sends Bayley back to the middle of the ring.
Look out for that running splash and that crossbody.
And Bayley able to move out of harm's way.
And now Bayley fighting back.
[Corey] Now, listen, Bayley's used
to battling powerful women.
I mean, she had an unbelievable feud with Bianca Belair.
[Wade] That's not quite what we've got in Piper
Niven, however.
And I'll take nothing away from Bayley.
But this might be the biggest challenge Bayley's--
[Cole] Charles was checking on Piper.
Did you see that?
[Cole] Well, that's not good.
[yelling]
[crowd cheering]
[yelling]
See ya.
Chelsea's heading back to the locker room.
No!
Just get out of here.
No!
[crowd singing]
[Cole] Couldn't happen to a nicer person.
Well, well, well.
I'm sorry.
[Wade] Chelsea Green was under the impression
that a Piper Niven victory tonight--
[Cole] Well, Bayley now rolling up,
trying to take advantage of the distraction and a kick-out.
[Wade] --also made her the WWE Women's Champion.
Well, if it happens, Chelsea Green ain't going
to be out here to celebrate.
[Corey] And I can't believe I'm saying this, Wade,
but I'm questioning Piper's decision to even allow Chelsea out here
to begin with, because Ms. Green has a tendency
to be a bit of a liability.
[Cole] You mean a pain in the ass?
[Wade] I have no idea why Piper was hanging out
with Chelsea Green in the first place.
I know they won Women's Tag titles together.
Since then, why didn't you get rid?
[Cole] Body shots by Piper Niven.
And now. oh, driving Bayley into the ropes and the champ to the floor.
Now, again, Piper's got a pin or submit.
Bayley, champions' advantage in this match-up tonight.
[Wade] It will be an error if Bayley suddenly thought
the hard work was done by getting rid of Chelsea Green.
The hard work is only just beginning.
[Cole] Oh, my goodness.
Piper barreling through the champion like a steamroller.
And this might be Piper's night.
[Wade] Equal parts mean, moody, and magnificent.
Watch again as Piper Niven crushes Bayley.
[crowd booing]
[Cole] Piper back into the ring.
Her opportunity to take out Bayley to win
the WWE Women's Championship.
Well, there's that-- oh!
On the spine, the running senton.
Piper into the cover to win the championship and a kick-out.
[Wade] I'll tell you this, on the media rounds
this past week in Scotland, Piper Niven did
something I'd never seen before.
She showed her softer side.
She showed her sentimental side.
Now it's time to return to Piper Niven
who is capable of grievous bodily harm.
[Cole] Yeah, I mean, that softer
side is all well and good, and she deserved every minute of it.
But now she's turned her focus to Bayley,
the veteran, who's fighting back in this match
for the WWE title.
Piper with a headbutt, drops the champ again.
[Corey] Listen, notice how deliberate Piper Niven has been
in all of her movements.
I know Bayley wants to pick up the pace.
I know Bayley wants to quicken the pace.
But Piper Niven has just been dominating
the champion for the past several minutes,
and Bayley's had no answer.
[Wade] Well, we haven't seen enough of Piper Niven in WWE
to truly understand how devastating this woman is.
Right now, Bayley, one of the best of all time,
looks like the ultimate underdog.
It's been so easy for Piper Niven.
[Cole] Yeah, Piper, the powerhouse,
been dominating Bayley again.
Irish whip into the corner.
And now follows it up with a running elbow.
Oh, that clothesline.
And Bayley just slumping into the corner.
[Wade] All the fight has left the body and soul of Bayley.
[Cole] That's a great move by Bailey.
Headbutts of her own.
And I'm not sure if it's doing any damage or not.
[Wade] That did some damage, Cole.
[Cole] Yeah, that did.
Bayley just trying to hang on.
[Wade] Like a bulldozer against the push bike here.
It's just an unfair contest.
[Cole] Piper, a suplex.
And Bayley into the ring.
She landed on her tailbone.
[Corey] Yeah, and that is the worst way to land.
Piper trying to the cover--
[Cole] Cover to win the championship.
And Bayley kicks it, too.
[Corey] And here's what I'm starting
to notice is I think it's Piper Niven
who may need to push the pace.
If we look that again.
This brutal landing.
The tailbone, hip area.
[Wade] The back goes up like an accordion.
Sorry, Corey.
[Corey] Yeah, you're absolutely right, Michael.
But Piper has been delivering massive offense,
but then failing to capitalize quickly.
And in those small moments.
Bayley, the champion, is able to recover just enough
to take the next punishment.
[Wade] And I think that's nerves.
That is Piper not wanting to overcommit
against a great like Bayley.
Wanting to take her time, not wanting to put a foot wrong.
But perhaps you're right.
Corey.
Being a little too cautious.
[Cole] Bayley countered and dropped Piper right on the top of her head.
Nice counter by Bayley.
And that was critical for Bayley to deliver there.
[Wade] And all that Bayley could do was use Piper's momentum against
to get her off balance just to get
a little breathing room.
[crowd singing]
[Corey] Here comes Bayley now.
[Cole] The champion.
Suicide dive into Piper.
Piper now drops to a knee.
Oh, driven, spine first, into the apron.
[Wade] And that right there might be
the most crucial move of the entire match
thus far for Piper Niven.
Just when the tables looked like they were turning,
that's when a challenger, a less experienced individual,
can panic.
No panic from Piper Niven.
Straight back on the attack.
[Cole] Oh, Bayley, and driven into the corner by Piper.
[Wade] Piper has been absolutely perfect in this match.
She has done everything right,
and she continues to get it right.
[Cole] She hasn't collapsed to the pressure.
[Corey] I agree with both of you.
Niven's been extremely impressive to this juncture.
Whatever Piper game planned for she's been executing to a T.
[Cole] Yeah, but now Bailey teeing off on Piper Niven.
Got her draped over the second rope.
Bayley now.
Oh!
Hanging Piper her up.
[Wade] Bayley going high risk now.
This isn't the normal kind of offense we're used to,
but you've got to find a new playbook against an opponent
like Piper Niven.
[Cole] Yeah, Piper seeing stars now.
[Wade] This is when we're really going to find out just how good Bayley is.
[Cole] Bailey top rope.
Piper trying to make it back to her feet.
Bayley now.
Oh, is that a bit of a rolling senton,
I think, across the back of Niven.
Unique offense from the champion.
But necessity is the mother of invention.
[Corey] Well, and you also notice, Bayley realizes it's going
to take more than that move to keep Piper down.
So she goes back up to the top rope.
Now going to deliver the elbow to Piper Niven.
Cover by Bayley to retain and a kick-out at two.
[Wade] This is the brilliance of Bailey able to switch up
her offense, almost go lucha style
against a bigger, stronger opponent than a lot
of her regular moveset--
her regular offense just will not work against.
[Cole] And the evolution of Bayley,
changed so much throughout her career.
Always reinventing herself, developing newer ways to win.
[Wade] Got to be a chameleon if you want--
[Cole] Oh, and Piper, sit down.
What a senton.
Cover for the championship.
Is it enough?
No, Bayley at two.
[Wade] Blink of an eye movement from Piper Niven was
all it took for this match to do a U-turn.
Power personified.
[Cole] Over 14,000 in attendance tonight.
Glasgow, Scotland.
[crowd] Piper Niven!
[Cole] Piper Niven looking for that home-run shot.
[Wade] Piper Niven has won this hometown audience over.
[crowd] Piper Niven!
Piper Niven!
[Cole] Piper to the second rope.
Bayley going to meet her there.
Down goes Bayley again.
Quickly back to her feet, getting herself out of harm's way.
And Bayley with a belly to belly.
That's got to do it.
But can Bayley capitalize?
Are you kidding me?
Oh, my goodness.
What were you saying about lucha before?
Who is this masked woman?
That's Chelsea.
[yelling]
Get out!
[Cole] Oh, wait a minute.
Cover by Bayley.
Piper kicks out.
[Wade] Well, Nacho Chelsea saved the day.
[Cole] Yeah, referee Charles Robinson was over there dealing
with Chelsea Green in her last attempt to disguise herself,
and now she's going to pay for it.
Bayley taking the fight now to Green.
[Corey] Isn't that El Gran Luchadora,
or wasn't she women's champion at one point on SmackDown?
[Cole] Here we go.
Looking for the rose plant.
Piper able to counter.
And now Piper with a Piper--
[Corey] Oh, Jesus.
[Cole] A Piper driver, cover on Bayley for the win.
Bayley kicks out at two.
[Wade] I have no idea how Bayley has any feeling left left below her neck.
[Corey] She may not.
[Wade] After the high-angle landing, Corey.
[Corey] Look at this. This is brutal.
My god.
I don't know if it was the base of Bayley's skull
or the top of her neck.
Either way, Niven drove it right into the canvas.
[Cole] And now frustration starting
to set in for the challenger.
Piper thought she had Bayley there.
[Wade] Bayley must feel like jelly.
[Cole] And now Piper--
[Corey] I respect this strategy by Niven.
[Cole] Second rope and Bayley counters.
[Corey] Piper did her best to continue the onslaught,
continue to pour on the punishment,
but the veteran Bayley had a plan.
Oh, goodness.
[Cole] Oh, my!
[Corey] Slam into the abyss.
Bailey is in trouble.
Piper Niven trying to feed off the homeland of Scotland.
But she's got to get Bayley back in the ring.
[Wade] Bayley has just been enduring in this one.
Hard wearing, refusing to bow to this pressure.
Everyone has their limits, however,
and Bayley's damn close.
[Cole] Went for the running senton.
Bayley wisely, luckily moves out of harm's way.
Champion back to her feet, looking for the rose plant again.
Piper counters again.
[Wade] Piper is too big and too strong.
Glaswegian kiss.
[Cole] And now look at this.
Bayley.
-[Corey] Oh, goodness. -[Cole] Oh, she got it.
She got it. Crucifix driver.
-1, 2, 3. -[Cole] Win!
Bayley wins.
Here is your winner.
And still the WWE Women's Champion, Bayley!
[Cole] Corey, what a veteran move.
What an incredible counter for the champion.
[Corey] It's the difference between being
a great challenger and a great champion.
Bayley was able to pull the trigger when it mattered most.
No matter how tiny the window of opportunity,
Bayley suffered through the punishment delivered by Niven
and was able to knock off Piper.
Through most of this match-up,
Bayley looked overmatched, physically overpowered by Piper Niven.
But in the end, Bayley survives.
[Wade] And this was the moment it all started going wrong for Piper Niven.
A leaping Bayley connecting with that belly.
Bayley to belly.
But then the the masked woman, who we're still not 100% sure--
-[Cole] It's Chelsea Green. -[Wade] Chelsea, are you sure? OK.
Allegedly, Chelsea Green got involved,
caused the distraction.
And this is where Piper Niven-- look, she got the victory call.
[Cole] Watching it in replay.
Just as painful as the first several times.
But Bayley somehow, someway was able to fight through,
utilize Piper's own momentum against her
in that crucifix driver.
Very unique, desperate pin, but enough to keep the gold.
[Wade] Bayley had the floor wiped with her tonight,
but was smart enough and had those championship
instincts to retain and still.
[Cole] Well, Bayley, realizing she was in a fight.
A nod of respect to.
Piper Niven.
Bayley is still the WWE Women's Champion.
Well, next month, WWE Money in the Bank comes
to Toronto for a jam-packed weekend
at Scotiabank Arena, starting with Friday Night SmackDown
on July 5th, followed by Money in the Bank on Saturday, July 6th,
and finishing with NXT HeatWave on Sunday, July 7th.
Tickets for Money in the Bank weekend
are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
[Corey] I hope you do that post-show too, at Money in the Bank.
Nonetheless, the Money in the Bank qualifying matches
begin this coming Monday on RAW
live in Corpus Christi.
And the question is, when we get to RAW on Monday,
who's going to be the World Heavyweight Champion?
Drew McIntyre has come home,
and he's not leaving without a fight. And according to him, a title.
The Scottish warrior will take on the formidable front man
of the Judgment Day, Damian Priest, for the chance to, once
and for all, hold the Heavyweight Championship,
right after this break.
Let's get a closer look at the brutal challenges that have led
to this ultimate faceoff.

[crowd cheering]
[announcer] Claymore!
Drew McIntyre, for the first time in his life,
has won a World Championship in front of fans.
[music playing]
Oh, my god.
Señor Money in the Bank.
Right now.
[announcer] South of Heaven chokeslam.
[Cole] Five minutes, this man was champion in front of fans.
[announcer] And new World Heavyweight Champion,
Damian Priest.
[announcer] Damian Priest screwed it all up.
[announcer] All rise for El Campeon.
Drew, you're out here blaming everybody
else for your failures.
All you had to do was grab your wife's hand
and go enjoy your moment.
And then what happened?
[Announcer] Priest is cashing in the contract.
Choose to find a mirror.
Look at the reflection.
And then blame that asshole.
The number one thing on my priority list is
the World Heavyweight Championship and that paper
champion, Damian Priest.
Drew McIntyre versus Damian Priest
for the World Heavyweight Championship,
live from Glasgow, Scotland.
This is Scotland.
This is my country.
You're walking into a war zone.
Those fans are going to break your spirit.
And I'm about to take your bloody title.

So all rise for El Campeon!
[Drew] You stole that from me, Priest.
Oh!
[Cole] Oh, McIntyre.
This is 3 on 1 out here by the Judgment Day.
♪ This is about to be a-- ♪
[Cole] Priest with a chokeslam through the table.
[Damian] This title that you're obsessed with?
You're forgetting about the man that holds it.
[Drew] Wherever Priest goes, we know that Judgment Day
are scurrying right behind.
[Damian] How about tonight, you go one on one with Finn Balor.
And if you beat him, the Judgment Day is barred
from ringside at Clash of the Castle.
[Drew] Hope you enjoyed your time with the title.
At Clash at the Castle, I'll be standing here,
World Heavyweight Champion.
[yelling]
[band playing "Scotland the Brave"]
[Cole] This is the Inverary and District Pipe Band
playing "Scotland the Brave."
I know how much Wade loves the bagpipes.
[Wade] Bagpipes should be exclusively
restricted to Guantanamo Bay.
[music continues]
[crowd cheering]
[ceremonial music]
[crowd cheering]
[yells]
[Cole] You will notice the letter K that is printed
on the left tape on the left wrist
of Drew McIntyre.
Drew McIntyre put that there for his wife
who could not be here.
She is in the States.
Wishing her to get well.
And tonight, all the pressure of Scotland is
on this man's shoulders.
[Corey] They've got a hell of a warrior fighting
on their behalf, because if you look
in the eyes of Drew McIntyre, this is not a man ready
for the biggest match of his life.
Not ready for the biggest fight of his life.
Drew McIntyre is ready for war.
[Wade] A nation expects.
And this is the man who is built for the biggest moments of them all.
It is like William Wallace and Frances Bentley had a baby
and out popped Drew McIntyre.
[Cole] It is live.
It is loud.
Well over 100 decibels.
The OVO Hydro is rocking.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Drew McIntyre looking to exorcize
the [crowd cheering]
past demons in one fell swoop tonight.
[Corey] This is a man who became WWE
champion in front of no fans.
[crowd cheering]
This is a man who became WWE Champion this past year
at WrestleMania for moments.
What a way to cap off a story than to
do it in front of your own home country.
[crowd booing]
[crowd cheering]
[crowd singing]
[crowd cheering]
Come on, ya prick?
[crowd cheering]
[Wade] I think McIntyre's ready.
[ring announcer] All rise.
[crowd booing]
[rock music]
[Cole] This man is public enemy number one
in Glasgow, Scotland,
El Campeón.
[ring announcer] All rise for the rock star.
[Corey] El Campeón may be public enemy number one,
but don't forget, this is not a foregone conclusion, guys.
Sure, all of Glasgow would love to see
their hometown hero, Drew McIntyre, leave with the gold.
But Damian Priest would love nothing more than to send
an arena full of people home with their heads in their hands
and tears running down their cheeks.
[Cole] I honestly cannot hear a thing you're saying.
[Corey] Good, it wasn't that good anyway.
[crowd singing]
[Cole] You know, Drew McIntyre in his career, Corey,
twice has lost the championship
when someone has cashed in the money in the bank contract.
The latest, of course, you mentioned, WrestleMania.
Drew held the title for over five minutes.
Damian Priest cashed in to win the gold.
Drew has called this man a transitional champion.
[Corey] And Damian Priest hears all the chirping, hears all the noise.
Damian Priest knows what's going on on the internet and social media.
They may not respect Priest like he feels like he should be respected,
why-- which is why tonight is
such a massive opportunity for a World Heavyweight champion.
[Cole] Let's not forget, very, very important,
Judgment Day is barred from ringside in this match-up
because Drew beat Finn Balor this past Monday night.
[Corey] And that's been one of the many reasons
why people have doubted Priest.
Because the Judgment Day is constant interference...
[crowd booing]
...the constant drama, the constant outside factors.
It's one on one tonight, man to man
for the World Heavyweight Championship.
[Wade] It is the most partisan environment
imaginable in this industry.
But Damian Priest just grew 6 inches walking out
in front of this audience.
Damian Priest is ready for war.
[Cole] He was in Puerto Rico at Backlash.
[Wade] I keep hearing that.
[bell rings]
The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
And it is for the World Heavyweight Championship!
[crowd singing]
Introducing the challenger, from Ayr, Scotland!
[crowd cheering]
Weighing in at 275 pounds, Drew McIntyre!
[crowd cheering]
And his opponent,
[crowd booing]
representing the Judgment Day, from New York City,
weighing in at 249 pounds, he is
the World Heavyweight Champion, El Campeón,
Damian Priest!
[crowd booing]
[crowd cheering]
[referee] Wait for the bell, guys.
Wait for the bell.
[Cole] And the winner of this match-up knows
that the King of the Ring, Gunther,
is lurking in waiting for the first Saturday in August
to face the world champion at SummerSlam.
[Wade] McIntyre wins tonight, and he's British.
If he loses, he's Scottish.
That's how it works over here, guys.
[Cole] I'm still trying to figure that out.
[Corey] Here we go, two heavy hitters ready
to showdown for the richest prize
on Monday Night Raw.
[Cole] This is a true heavyweight battle,
the power of these men, the size of these men.
[crowd chanting]
And here we go, lock up center of the ring.
World Heavyweight Championship match is underway.
Think about what this country of Scotland has meant to Drew McIntyre.
Not only did he start his career here, but back in 2014,
when he was fired by WWE, he came home to rebuild,
to re-examine his life, to look inside himself, and to evolve...
[crowd cheering]
...to come back better, stronger than ever.
[Wade] From the lowest of lows, Cole,
to potentially the highest of highs,
he is just a three count or a submission away from completing...
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] What a journey it has been for McIntyre, who is laying waste
to the champion in the early moments of this one.
[Cole] And if you're Damian Priest, you gotta weather the early storm.
[Corey] Whoa, whoa, whoa. If you can. McIntyre flies!
[crowd cheering]
Down goes the champ.
He lands hard on Priest's neck.
[Wade] That's 275 pounds of flying Scotsman.
And this city, Glasgow, hosts one of the world's great sporting rivalries,
Glasgow Rangers, Glasgow Celtic.
There's only one man who has ever united those two factions.
That's McIntyre tonight.
[Corey] Wisely, Priest going to the eyes
and forcing Drew into the ring post.
Thus far tonight, we have seen the weight of Scotland
be both a curse and a blessing.
It was a blessing for the new Tag Team Champions,
but Piper Niven perhaps was distracted.
[Cole] Ooh.
[Corey] Do you think there could be
a negative factor to the raucous crowd tonight?
[Wade] Yes.
Very, very often that is the case.
The difference, though, this is Drew McIntyre.
This is the guy who's beaten the very best this industry has ever had to offer.
This is the guy who's won in the main event of WrestleMania.
Pressure, throw it my way.
[Cole] Priest delivers a left hand.
[Corey] Unique offense.
[Cole] Damian Priest said he will not be bothered
by a hostile crowd.
Corey made the point of backlash
from over a year ago in Puerto Rico,
when he had to take on Bad Bunny.
What a match that was, hostile environment that night.
[Wade] Well, this is a Damian Priest who was born and raised
in the worst parts of the Bronx,
the worst parts of Puerto Rico, surrounded...
[Cole] Ooh!
[Wade] ...and surrounded by violence.
This is nothing to Damian Priest.
[Corey] I'm certain that Damian Priest would love
a different outcome than he had that night in Puerto Rico.
And right now, the World Heavyweight Champion looking
to fight his way back into control.
[crowd cheering]
Spinebuster by Drew, into the cover.
[Cole] Is it enough?
Kickout by Priest.
[Wade] 275-pound beast of a man, who can move
like a cruiserweight and packs the punch
of a heavyweight boxer.
[crowd] One!
Two!
[Cole] The first Clash at the Castle, a couple of years ago
in Wales, left such a bitter taste
in the mouth of Drew McIntyre, the night that Solo Sikoa appeared
as part of the Bloodline
and cost McIntyre the championship, when, Corey,
he was clearly going to win.
[Corey] That night certainly seemed
to be Drew McIntyre's night, had it not been for Solo.
But Priest, face first.
That might as well be a different lifetime ago.
Because right now, Drew McIntyre need
to focus on one man and one man only
that being the World Heavyweight Champion,
Damian Priest.
[Cole] Priest now into the corner.
[loud grunt]
[Cole] And now Damian Priest starting
to gain the upper hand.
[Wade] I'll tell you this about McIntyre, I know him...
-[Cole] Broken Arrow. -[Wade] ...better than most.
-[Cole] Cover by Priest. -[referee] One!
[Cole] To retain the championship. And a kickout by McIntyre.
[Wade] For all the smack talk about paper champions,
transitional champions,
Drew doesn't actually believe that.
That's mind games.
That's insult to the champ.
He knows exactly how terrifying,
how devastating this man is, who's got better and better
by the week and has continued growing since winning
-that championship. -[Cole] Damian Priest pulling out
all the greatest hits early on, showing you what he thinks of McIntyre.
[Corey] Damian, wow, big heavy right hand by Priest.
Priest doesn't get paid by the hour.
Damian Priest does not wanna be here tonight, all night long,
in a grueling back-and-forth contest.
Priest would love to get back on a plane,
head back to Monday Night Raw as World Heavyweight champion.
-That's what he's thinking. -[Cole] Priest rolls through.
I should say Drew rolls through.
-[Corey] Uh-oh. -[Cole] Look at that.
Looking for the michinoku driver. Able to connect.
Cover now, trying to win the championship from Priest.
-[crowd] One! Two! -[Cole] Hook to the leg.
Damian gets the shoulder up.
[Wade] And it shows you just how devastating McIntyre is.
He tried his best to use Priest's momentum in that slam.
[crowd cheering]
It failed. So he just brute forced it.
-There's many ways McIntyre... -[crowd] One! Two!
[Wade] ...can pull out his best maneuvers.
[Corey] There aren't too many superstars
on the roster who have the ability to overpower Damian Priest.
[Wade] And here's the thing with Priest, another issue.
He's got this great limb length he always uses to his advantage.
He's just got a better reach than anyone, completely neutralized by the...
[Cole] Uh-- uh--
[Wade] ...similarly elongated--
[Cole] It looks like he's going for the aftershock DDT.
And Priest escapes out of the ring.
[Wade] OK.
[Cole] And now McIntyre, he's gonna pound...
[crowd cheering]
...Priest off the announce table.
And again... off the hydration station.
[applause]
And now a chop to the champion.
[crowd cheering]
Again, champion's advantage.
McIntyre's gotta pin or submit...
[crowd chanting]
...Damian Priest.
[Wade] This is all McIntyre has ever asked for, one on one.
I will beat anybody on the planet, no interference...
[Cole] Oh.
[Wade] ...no Judgment Day, no money in the bank.
He has nothing to worry about.
He just has to back up those words.
[Corey] You're right about that, Wade.
But lately, that's all Priest has wanted as well, the opportunity to prove himself.
-[crowd cheering] -Priest got hung up. Oh, God.
[Cole] Priest got hung up on the top rope.
[Corey] Oh, my god.
Priest, man, just snapped his ankle.
[Cole] And McIntyre gonna take advantage.
[Corey] Drew's gotta to do what Drew's gotta do.
[Cole] Priest hung up at the top.
[Corey] Look out, fellas!
[Cole] And McIntyre fired up.
[Corey] You know what that means on this side
of the pond, right, Cole?
[Wade] Be careful, Cole.
You're in deep trouble, as is Damian Priest.
And the normally sure-footed big man,
Damian Priest, the champ for once,
-slightly missed his spotting-- -[Cole] Well, the problem now--
-[Wade] and is now in a world of trouble. -[Cole] He got a broken ankle.
[Corey] You're right, he may have a broken ankle.
[Wade] And McIntyre ain't gonna care about that.
[Corey] But Drew just said to Eddie Orengo,
I can't win the title like this.
Drew realizes he's got to get Priest back inside the ropes.
[Cole] And finally...
[crowd cheering]
...able to get Priest disconnected.
[Wade] Damian Priest may never walk straight again after that.
[Corey] That was absolutely horrific misfortune for the champion.
[Cole] And he just reaffirmed the fact that
he cannot win the title with Priest tied up,
even though the--
[Wade] Behind the eight ball now is the champion.
[Cole] Even though the Scottish crowd was asking
for McIntyre to deliver more punishment.
Duplex cover, for the championship.
[crowd] One! Two!
[Cole] Priest kicks at 2.
[Wade] I don't know if Priest can stand up anymore.
Referee taking a very close look.
You know he isn't gonna quit. Take another look at this.
That is one of the most disgusting things
I have ever seen in the entirety of my experience as a fan.
Over 35 years working in this industry,
I've never seen that before.
[Corey] An absolutely terrible, terrible turn of events for El Campeón.
And the Scottish warrior wasting no time capitalizing.
[Wade] Just how tough is Damian Priest continuing after such
a horrific incident?
[Cole] Well, just that blow he delivered to McIntyre,
-you could feel the pain. -[Corey] Oh!
-[Cole] And a clothesline. -[Corey] Priest can--
[Cole] Did you hear it?
[Corey] Damian Priest can still plan off that bad leg.
My goodness, that sounded like fireworks inside the Hydro.
[Wade] Damian Priest seems to have shaken off
what was surely millimeters away
from a complete catastrophe...
[Cole] And trying shake it off.
[Wade] ...compound fracture of the leg, almost.
[Cole] McIntyre back to his feet.
And now, Priest, looking for south of heaven.
McIntyre able to block and sending Priest shoulder first to the post.
[Corey] Drew now once again looking for future shock.
There it is!
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Cover!
[crowd] One! Two!
[Corey] Priest kicks out.
[Wade] Late, late kickout, milliseconds from McIntyre
and Scotland's dreams coming true, connecting with that future shock DDT,
that has put away countless superstars.
But this one, Damian Priest is built a little different.
[Corey] It's a testament to the toughness
and the will of the World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest,
proud tonight to stand on his own two feet
to defend his gold against the hottest contender in the world.
[Cole] There are 11,391 fans here in Scotland cheering Drew McIntyre on,
as he tries to wrestle the World Championship away
from Damian Priest.
[Corey] As this match progresses, guys,
I don't know if the adrenaline perhaps hasn't kicked in yet.
But priest is beginning to limp badly.
[Cole] Well, he was caught up in the top and second rope just a bit ago.
[Corey] Yeah, sometimes you get hurt so bad, you get up, you walk it off.
You don't feel it for a few seconds. And then reality sinks in.
[Wade] Well, swelling-- swelling takes a while to kick in.
You know, that's why, you hurt yourself, immediately get
-an ice pack on it. -[Corey] Aha-ha.
[Corey] Ah! But the champion's fired up.
[Cole] Yeah, Priest, uh, telling
the Scottish crowd what he thinks about them here tonight.
[Corey] Questionable decision by the champion,
making that risky climb with a bad wheel.
[crowd] Ooh!
[Cole] McIntyre climbs to the second rope, towering
over the champion...
[crowd cheering]
...and-- oh, gives Damien an little bit back.
[crowd anticipating]
-Oh, boy. -[Corey] Uh-Oh.
[Wade] Time to steal white noise from Sheamus.
Pretty angry right now.
[Corey] Is Priest's leg gonna hold up?
Priest wants the razor's edge.
-Can he pull it off? -Yes!
-[Cole] Razor's edge... to McIntyre. -[Corey] Wow.
[Cole] Priest, to the cover, to retain the world title McIntyre.
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] And you can see the frustration, understandably so.
Damian Priest has put away countless opponents
with the Razor's Edge, the homage to his hero.
But the leg could be the deciding factor in this match-up.
[crowd chanting]
[Cole] Again, trying to get feeling
back into the right leg.
Damian Priest, the world champion.
[Wade] As every minute passes, that leg feels worse and worse.
And that just speeds up the requirement
for Damian Priest to get this finished.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] And again McIntyre letting Priest know
what he thinks about him.
[loud grunt]
He wants a slugfest in the middle of the ring.
[crowd] Ooh.
Hey!
Ooh.
Hey!
[Corey] Two of the heaviest hitters in all of WWE
and all of this industry...
[crowd] Hey!
[Corey] ...just trading rights in the center of the ring
in the main event tonight.
[Cole] Yeah, true Heavyweight battle,
like we said from the start.
[Wade] You could kill a horse with just one of those shots,
but these two are giving it everything.
[Corey] Could take out an entire stable with what we just saw.
[loud grunt]
[Cole] Oh, my goodness!
And a return from McIntyre.
[crowd singing]
[loud grunt]
[Corey] And Priest with a right hand.
[Wade] McIntyre's getting the worst of this exchange.
[Cole] And Priest wants more.
Oh, kick to the midsection of McIntyre, and another kick.
And here comes Priest, starting to fire on all cylinders now.
[crowd singing]
[crowd cheering]
Oh, Glasgow kiss!
[Corey] They just call it a kiss here.
[Cole] Oh, and Priest answers.
And answers again.
[Wade] Stubborn refusal to go down, from both men.
-This has to end somewhere. -[crowd cheering]
[Cole] McIntyre missed wildly.
Neckbreaker by McIntyre, after that whip by Priest.
[Corey] Both of these men are champions.
Unfortunately, only one can hold
the World Heavyweight title.
This has been a battle for the ages.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Get up by McIntyre.
Do you feel that, gentlemen?
[crowd cheering]
[Wade] Drew McIntyre certainly does.
He's tapped into it. And he's going in for the kill.
[Cole] Looked like he was setting up for the claymore.
And Damian Priest rolled out of harm's way.
[Corey] Smart decision by Priest.
It may not be an exciting decision,
but it's the right one for the champion.
Oh, no.
[Cole] Another Glasgow kiss.
[Wade] Sometimes it's not about glory.
It's about self-preservation.
Claymore...
[crowd cheering]
...through the barricade!
McIntyre claymores Priest through the barricade.
[Corey] But Drew's gotta get Priest back inside the ring.
Eddie Orengo realizing the magnitude, being judicious with his count.
But McIntyre knows knows what needs to happen.
[Wade] This is a exhausted McIntyre dragging
a heavy carcass with him.
[Cole] McIntyre dragging the injured champ,
gets him back into the ring.
It's Drew McIntyre's opportunity.
And now McIntyre set up
for what could be the death blow to Damian Priest.
[crowd] Three! Two! One!
[Cole] Went for the Claymore!
Priest intercepted!
[Corey] Cannon!
[Cole] Priest, to retain the title falls into the cover.
[Cole] Oh, McIntyre kicks out!
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] Look at this impact, Claymore putting the champion
through the barricade.
[crowd] Oh!
[Corey] But Priest turned the tides,
delivered the south of heaven chokeslam
and nearly put this away.
[Corey] But, Wade, at this point,
does doubt begin to creep into the champion's mind?
[Wade] I'll tell ya this, Corey, anywhere else on planet Earth
that south of heaven connects, at this point, it's game over.
We have a successful retention.
But this is Glasgow, Scotland.
Not here, not tonight.
This is different.
[crowd] ♪ This is awesome ♪
[rhythmically clapping]
[crowd] ♪ This is awesome ♪
[rhythmically clapping]
[crowd] ♪ This is awesome ♪
[rhythmically clapping]
[crowd] ♪ This is awesome ♪
[rhythmically clapping]
[Wade] Indeed it is, as the challenger, McIntyre,
drags himself back to his feet.
Damian Priest, the World Heavyweight Champion,
trying to figure out what he needs to do
to keep McIntyre down.
[man shouting]
[wrestler corner] To the corner.
Let's go.
[crowd] Oh!
[man] Drew!
[Corey] Priest trying to put his challenger in position for God
only knows what could be next.
We've seen Priest successfully utilize south of heaven
from the top turnbuckle.
It's what got Damian past Jey Uso.
[Cole] Yeah, but at that point,
Damian had his Judgment Day brothers to help him out.
No Judgment Day tonight.
Oh, and Priest still, that-- that right leg just given out.
[Corey] Did you hear Priest groan in agony?
[crowd] Oh!
[Wade] Sounded like a--
[Cole] And, listen, he just shove the referee, Eddie Orengo.
And the referee, rightfully so, letting this match-up go on here.
[Corey] What in the hell is Priest thinking?
[Cole] Hurricanrana!
Hurricanrana by Priest!
-Claymore... -[Corey] Oh!
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] ...by McIntyre.
To win the championship.
-Cover by Drew! -[crowd] One! Two!
[Cole] Priest kicks out!
Damn it!
Priest kicked out of the Claymore!
[Corey] Are you sure?
[Cole] And you can hear the breath come out
of the lungs of every single person
in the OVO Hydro tonight.
[crowd chanting]
[Wade] 1/100 of a second after Priest pulled out
the unthinkable, a move a man his size has no right
in doing, immediately the claymore by McIntyre.
And this is just a hair's breadth away from this town exploding
in joy, McIntyre somehow not getting the pin.
[Cole] What does McIntyre have left?
What does the champion Damian Priest have left?
[crowd singing]
[Corey] Well, whatever drew may be lacking in this moment,
the Scotland faithful are giving it back to him 100%.
[Wade] Both these men know they should be home and dry
at this point of any match.
[Cole] And a great throw by McIntyre.
-[crowd cheering] -Forget the sixth man.
How 'bout the 11,391 man, in Drew McIntyre's corner tonight?
[Wade] And they're worth double when it's your hometown, Cole.
[Cole] And now, McIntyre crawling
his way across the ring.
[rhythmic clapping]
[crowd chanting]
[rhythmic clapping]
[crowd chanting]
[Cole] Shot to Priest, rings through the OVO.
We're getting to the crunch time now.
And Eddie Orengo moved out of harm's way, swift move by the official.
[Wade] Great footwork from the official.
He was close to a certain death, at that point.
[Corey] Priest was able to ring McIntyre's bell momentarily.
[Cole] And now McIntyre with Priest shoving him--
official knocked down into the barricade.
And Eddie Orengo's hurt.
Eddie Orengo is hurt.
-We gotta get some medic-- -[Corey] Wait.
[Cole] Wait for the claymore.
[Corey] Powerbomb by Priest!
[Cole] Damian Priest able to intercept McIntyre.
And now Priest looking for south of heaven.
McIntyre turns it around.
McIntyre, Claymore!
[crowd cheering]
But there's no official.
The official, Orengo, is down.
[crowd] One! Two! Three! Four!
[Cole] McIntyre would've won the championship right there,
but there's no official.
[crowd] Nine! Ten!
[Cole] And here comes another official.
-[Corey] We got an official on the way! -[crowd] One! Two!
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Holy hell!
CM Punk!
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Oh, my God!
The balls of CM Punk!
He went low on McIntyre!
A ruse by Punk!
Priest making it to his feet, as Punk just smiles,
looking on.
The referee back into the ring.
Damian Priest with a south of heaven choke slam.
I don't think he has any idea what transpired.
It doesn't matter.
Damian Priest into the cover on McIntyre.
-[crowd] Two! -[Cole] CM Punk has screwed...
[ending bell ringing]
Drew McIntyre.
[Alicia] Here is your winner!
And still...
CM Punk!
[Alicia] the World Heavyweight Champion,
El Campeón, Damian Priest!
[Corey] CM Punk, the catalyst of change.
[Wade] It is a sham.
It is a disgrace.
It is the worst night in the history of this great industry.
McIntyre was screwed in Cardiff.
He was screwed at WrestleMania.
But tonight, tonight was so much worse.
In his home town, in front of the people
he grew up with, he was screwed by the man
he despises worse than any other, CM bloody Punk.
[crowd] CM Punk!
[Wade] WWE management need to do something about this.
They need to show some balls and fire CM Punk,
a man who has completely thrown the top of this industry off the rails.
I am in shame that I am associated with this.
[Cole] Well, it is a shame that that great match-up ended
the way that it did.
But Damian Priest is still your World Heavyweight Champion.
[Corey] And put a little respect on the name of Damian Priest,
after a gutsy championship defense,
controversial as it may have been.
[crowd cheering]
Damian Priest had nothing to do with the controversy.
Priest fought his ass off tonight
and survived, with an assist from CM Punk.
[Cole] Well, this is how it all broke down.
The referee was knocked into the barricade.
And Drew McIntyre would deliver a Claymore.
Now if there was an official in the ring,
McIntyre's the champion.
No doubt about it.
[Corey] The entire Hydro counted to about nine
before the official slid in,
to screw the day.
[Cole] And the, quote unquote, "official" was
Drew McIntyre's archenemy, the man he despises
most on this planet, CM Punk.
And not only did CM Punk screw McIntyre at that juncture,
but it was-- it's what he does here,
kicking Drew McIntyre down low, which would allow
Damian Priest to capitalize.
And in Priest's defense, I don't think he understood
that any of this was going on.
[Corey] Yeah, I agree with you wholeheartedly.
This is obviously just more deep-seeded vitriol
between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk.
But the song remains the same on Monday nights, Michael Cole.
[referee] Three!
And still El Campeón.
[Wade] It is a swindle.
And CM Punk better get running. 'Cause if they catch them,
they're gonna lynch him.
And they're gonna burn this city to the ground.
[Cole] Damian Priest is still the world champion.
Drew McIntyre...
[crowd] CM Punk!
CM Punk!
[Cole] ...may I dare say, is gonna lose it.
Drew McIntyre is going to explode.
[Corey] I think we need to get out of here before that happens.
I don't wanna be here.
[Cole] And can tell you this.
Monday Night Raw is gonna be must see TV.
