00:00I
00:30You guys have no idea what that means coming from Chicago, I mean it.
00:37I remember when this farewell tour started, all of my peers, the thing I kept hearing was, enjoy this.
00:43So I focused on doing great work. I wanted to have fun.
00:47For over half this tour, I have given you everything I've had.
00:53You see these two guys right here, that's what all y'all used to look like.
00:57I used to see 14,000 people looking like that.
01:01I don't know, F you Cena, you can fill in the blanks.
01:04My last time in the city of Chicago.
01:07This is my last time to ever appear on SmackDown.
01:11Because 23 years ago, slapped Kurt Angle in the face and start this crazy ride.
01:17And the title ended up in CM Punk's refrigerator right here in Chicago.
01:21There is an argument about what is the greatest crowd in the WWE.
01:25You let me experience failure, you let me experience humility.
01:31Thank you Cena!
01:34Thank you Cena!
01:36When I really need it the most, you let me experience joy.
01:40That's the Chicago way.
01:41Thank you so much for a beautiful ride.
01:44John, hear me out, I'm not here to interrupt.
02:05Watching you this last year, to thank the fans in all these cities.
02:10It is happy hour in Chicago, and I am here for the booze.
02:14Thank you very much.
02:15It would feel wrong.
02:18Thank you for everything you did for me.
02:21I made my debut against John Cena for the U.S. Championship.
02:26John, I want to pay it forward the way you paid it forward.
02:28John, I would love to introduce the Sami Zayn U.S. title open challenge.
02:35A fighting champion giving underrated superstars an opportunity.
02:40Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
02:42Thank you John.
02:44But John, wait, don't.
02:48If tonight is your last SmackDown,
02:51it's the last chance I ever get to share a ring with you,
02:54then it would be my honor to pay you back.
03:01I'm not saying we do it in a month.
03:03I'm saying we do it in Chicago.
03:06And we do it right now.
03:14If you want some, come get some.
03:19You want to have a U.S. Championship match.
03:23What the hell, you're on.

07:10Hey, John!
07:24I'll see you at Wrestlepalooza,
07:26bitch!
07:28John Cena
07:29versus Brock Lesnar!
07:31This unbelievable rivalry!
07:33I just need to ask you something, man.
07:34I can't do this right now, Melo.
07:35Look, I just need the opportunity, man.
07:36Sami Zayn is, man.
07:37We!
07:37We would like an opportunity for the tag team titles
07:41because they know Melo don't miss and can beat them.
07:43All right, I'll take it into consideration, okay?
07:45I really have to go.
07:46Speak for yourself.
07:47I just gave us a tag title match.
07:48I don't want a tag title.
08:02Miserable.
08:02And look out!
08:03Come behind!
08:04Aleister Black!
08:05Trying to gain the upper hand before the opening foul!
08:08And Priest with a big right hand.
08:09Short period of time.
08:11Priest driving a sneak attack,
08:14an ambush by Black to attack on Damian Priest
08:17before this match would even begin.
08:19Damian Priest has never met a fight he was afraid of,
08:22but this is a bad, bad situation.
08:24Former world champ Priest,
08:25and Priest just collapsed.
08:27Priest looks like he's out on his feet.
08:28I don't know, I mean, Ryan Tran's obviously in there.
08:31Weapon, he has spent his life,
08:33he has dedicated his life to learning martial arts.
08:36Oh, baby!
08:38Is so diverse in his skill set.
08:40It's such a dangerous opponent.
08:42Trains to be a weapon.
08:44And look at-
08:44Oh, the Meteora from Black!
08:46Oh, and a right kick by Aleister Black.
08:49Resilient at every turn.
08:50Oh, and a big right by Damian.
08:52Damian Priest, full head of steam here.
08:54With a clothesline, down goes Black.
08:56Aleister Black.
08:57Another right hand drops.
09:00Oh, and down goes Black.
09:02Damian Priest!
09:04On the top rope.
09:06Oh, and across body!
09:08Oh, and dropped Black on the apron.
09:11Damian Priest.
09:12And a razor's edge onto the announce table!
09:17From Damian Priest.
09:21Because Priest is gonna make Aleister Black pay.
09:24Black grabbed the official.
09:27Oh, and a Black mask!
09:30And Black with the win, the sudden impact!
09:33Starting to stir.
09:35I think the lights are on, but nobody's home.
09:38These two clash for the women's United States title.
09:41Live, Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, one-on-one.
09:46Faces Cena two weeks from tomorrow at Wrestlepalooza.
09:49Brock Lesnar will be on SmackDown Live.
09:52Tiff, thanks so much for the time.
09:54I know you have a massive SummerSlam rematch next week.
09:57The last time you two met, she claims that she would have won
10:00had your foot not been on the ropes.
10:02I thought I liked the sound of my own voice,
10:04but it turns out Jade loves to run her mouth.
10:06I mean, her level, that she's gonna take my title,
10:09that she is the storm.
10:10My foot is gonna be stuck right up her eye of the storm.
10:15Bye!
10:17Thanks so much, and good luck next week.
10:19Funny, you're watching film on Tiffy now,
10:20but didn't you lose to her at SummerSlam?
10:22I'm confused.
10:23Didn't you lose, too?
10:24You got very lucky with an easy victory
10:26when Becky ditched her a couple weeks ago.
10:28Girl, when I get my title from that blow-up Barbie,
10:31you can come get your shot.
10:32Get out of my way, or catch these hands tonight.
10:37Women's Championship next week.
10:39Julia!
10:40Hey, beautiful.
10:42Becky.
10:44Oh, there you are.
10:46How's it going?
10:47Good to see you.
10:48I wasn't aware that you were gonna be here tonight.
10:50Becky, I'm dealing with a lot.
10:52I know we're in Chicago.
10:53I cannot have any more issues tonight.
10:56Are we clear?
10:57I never.
10:58Okay.
10:58But I'm just gonna give you some space.
11:00It seems like you need it.
11:01Can I make any more of this?
11:02Can I make any more of this?
11:10Meechan!
11:13Former TNA Impact Knockout Champion.
11:17And this match is presented by the refreshing taste of Twisted T, Hard Ice T.
11:20A fury of strikes from both women.
11:22Meechan getting the best of this exchange.
11:24Partnership.
11:25In the business world.
11:27Julia now, beautiful madness.
11:29Julia, the United States Champion.
11:30Oh, with a neckbreaker to the floor.
11:32Friday Night Smackdown.
11:34Oh, official dropkick by Julia.
11:36Tries to improve herself each time out.
11:38She could find herself in United States gold around her waist.
11:40Briefless.
11:40Oh, look at that.
11:42I'm trying to turn Meechan over into a modification on the Rings of Saturn submission.
11:47And look at Julia.
11:48What she's doing to Meechan's face.
11:51Utilizing her own body, but Meechan able to counter.
11:53Championship on the line.
11:55Julia, the champ.
11:56Meechan, the challenger.
11:57And this is wildly Julia now.
11:58Oh, German suplex.
12:00Drops her on the back.
12:01Ooh.
12:01Both women down.
12:03Looking on 16,678 on hand.
12:07Is gaining the upper hand here.
12:09Julia in the corner in trouble.
12:10Meechan, oh, cannonball into the corner.
12:12Gonna make Keanu James pay.
12:15Face first.
12:16But Julia with a running knee.
12:18With the Arrivederci for the victory.
12:21Julia hitting Arrivederci to pick up the victory.
12:26Oh, and now a Keanu James meets it.
12:28And James finally being hauled away by the official Daphne LaShawn.
12:33There's nothing ever good happened to me in this city.
12:36What did I do to this?
12:38Dr. Lilly will see you now.

12:50Look, we will get revenge when the time is right.
12:53To rest, relax, and let the power of-
12:55Do I not look relax?
