00:01What's up danger? This is Saul Canelo Alvarez. What's up danger?
00:07This is Terrence Bud Crawford.
00:11What's up danger?
00:13They are the two best boxers in the world.
00:17Growing up, fighting became their life's work to turn dreams into destiny.
00:25What's up danger?
00:27All hail King Canelo!
00:30One of the all-time greats.
00:33But Terrence Crawford is one of the best on planet Earth.
00:39How many fighters have ever been called the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world?
00:43These are two of them, and they're going to fight.
00:46When two of the greats both claim to be the greatest,
00:50there's only one way to find out.
00:53What's up danger?
00:55Everything has led to this.
00:58Legacy is on the line.
01:00Canelo vs. Crawford.
01:05A true superfighter that only comes along once in a lifetime.
01:10And it's a huge weekend in Las Vegas.
01:20It actually began earlier today with a huge WrestleMania announcement.
01:23And we are under 30 minutes from Worlds Collide streaming live on YouTube immediately following SmackDown.
01:29And then tomorrow, two champions, one night inside Allegiant Stadium for the undisputed Super Middleweight Championship.
01:36Who is the best fighter in the world?
01:38Canelo vs. Crawford.
01:39So, first Crawford.
01:40I'm here with Rey Mysterio Rey with a great night tonight for Lucha Libre, and more so because we're celebrating Mexico this weekend.
01:49Asà es, Dero.
01:50Incredible, historical night once again for AAA and WWE.
01:54Mega Championship on the line today.
01:56Second generation, third generation.
01:58Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:00Whatever, man.
02:01Look, when I beat the King World of Night, I'm going to be the first Mysterio to become Mega Campeon and the first Mysterio to be double champion.
02:10You think it's going to be that easy, huh?
02:12I know it's going to be that easy.
02:13Yeah.
02:14How about this?
02:15How about after I win tonight, you come out there and raise the hand of the winner and you put the title on the waist of the champion.
02:24New champion, which would be me, right?
02:26So, like this. Here we go.
02:27Cool, man.
02:28Just like that.
02:29How about that?
02:30Man of my word, if you do win, I'll put that title around your waist.
02:34When I win, you're going to come out.
02:35If you win.
02:36When I win, you're going to come out and put this title on my waist.
02:39Alright, son.
02:42Hey, I stepped there.
02:44Hey, Dom.
02:45You know what the best way to show the world that you are the greatest Luchador of all time is?
02:50What?
02:51You go out there tonight and you win the championship alone.
02:55Good luck tonight, brother.
02:57You got it.
02:58No.
02:59That's right.
03:00Okay.
03:01I am here with, and still, United States Champion, Sammy Zane saving hell of a match against Ray Phoenix tonight.
03:10Thank you so much.
03:11He's unbelievable.
03:12I don't have enough good things to say about him.
03:14He's a future star.
03:15He's a superstar in this company.
03:16He's going to do huge things.
03:17Yeah.
03:18I mean, a lot of things ahead for him.
03:19A lot of things ahead for you.
03:20Can we expect more open challenges coming up?
03:23Absolutely.
03:24You and I, we didn't always get along, but since you're giving out opportunities for that United States Championship, I gotta call my shot.
03:37I got next.
03:38All right, Melo.
03:39Don't miss.
03:40You said meet here in 10 minutes.
03:42I'm five minutes early.
03:43Oh, Mike, five minutes too late.
03:44I talked to Aldis.
03:45He said you spoke to him about a title opportunity.
03:46I did.
03:47Tag titles.
03:48United States Championship.
03:49First NXT, now this.
03:50Open challenge.
03:51Do you have any idea what it takes to be a United States Champion?
03:52I did.
03:53I did.
03:54I did.
03:55I did.
03:56I did.
03:57I did.
03:58I did.
03:59I did.
04:00I did.
04:01I did.
04:02I did.
04:03I did.
04:04I did.
04:05I did.
04:06I did.
04:07I did.
04:08I did.
04:09I did.
04:10Open challenge.
04:11Do you have any idea what it takes to be a United States Champion?
04:13What are you trying to say?
04:14I can't do it?
04:15I think you can do anything you want in this company.
04:17You have that talent.
04:18You just need someone to guide you down the right path.
04:21And who's going to guide you?
04:22Me.
04:23Me.
04:24And I'm trying to guide you to the tag team titles.
04:28What if I win the United States Championship and then we win the tag team championships?
04:32Do you have any idea how difficult that is?
04:34You did it.
04:36Come on.
04:37Melo don't miss, bro.
04:39Trust me if you want to.
04:40Trust me if you want to.
04:41Trust me if you want to.
04:42Trust me if you want to.
04:43Trust me if you want to.
04:50Would you trust Carmelo Hayes?
04:52No.
04:53Got to put the microphone.
04:54No, no.
04:55There you go.
04:56You got to get into my role.
04:57I'm singing.
05:01I hear the voices in my head
05:03They come to me
05:05They listen, they talk to me
05:08You got some rules in your kitchen
05:20All designed to keep you safe
05:23But when rules start getting broken
05:26You start questioning your faith
05:29I have a voice that is the Savior
05:32Hates to love and loves to hate
05:34I have a voice that has the knowledge
05:38And the power to your faith
05:41I hear voices crying
05:44I see heroes dying
05:47I taste blood that's dying
05:50I feel tantalizing
05:53I have a voice in my head
05:56They come to me
05:57They come to me
06:00They come to me
06:03They come to me
06:04They come to me
06:06They come to me
06:07They show me things I do
06:10They come to me
06:12They come to me
06:15They come to me
06:17And his opponent from St. Louis, Missouri
06:23Playing in at 280 pounds
06:27The Viper
06:29Randy
06:31Morgan
06:32Booker, let's go back a few weeks ago
06:38It was right here on SmackDown
06:40That these two really came to blows
06:43They were going back and forth
06:45Had to be pulled apart
06:46Had to be separated
06:47Because I think you're a prick
06:50And it's because Drew McIntyre didn't like what Randy Orton had to say
06:57But sometimes the truth is hard to hear
06:59And as I mentioned had to be separated
07:02But Randy was looking
07:03To seek some vengeance
07:05RKO'ing everyone in the vicinity
07:08And then set his sights on Drew McIntyre
07:12And was looking to putt the Scottish Warrior
07:14And that's what brings us to tonight
07:20And look, it's safe to say
07:21There's just mutual disrespect
07:23Between these two
07:25A lot of mutual disrespect
07:27As well as a lot of
07:28Disrespect between these two
07:29It's got to be
07:30But
07:30I talk about Randy Orton
07:32How many times have I said it
07:33You can trust a snake
07:35You can trust a snake
07:37To bite you
07:38That's Randy Orton
07:39Sold out tonight for SmackDown
07:54And what a main event we have
07:56Look at the eyes
07:57Drew McIntyre
07:58After the signature pulls
08:01From Randy Orton
08:02Oh, you gotta love it
08:04It's getting hot here, man
08:07So much history in this building
08:12What a main event we are set for
08:14Rumor is
08:14You actually were the one that
08:15Closed the gates
08:16Years ago
08:17To stop the DX invasion
08:19That was Bagwell
08:20Road Dogg told me that
08:21That was Marcus Bagwell
08:22Who did that
08:23We'll figure it out afterwards
08:25Because it is time
08:27Orton
08:28McIntyre
08:29You're no stranger to Randy Orton
08:43You competed against him
08:44Over the Intercontinental Championship
08:45How can you explain how Orton
08:47Is actually better than ever
08:49I mean, the kid was
08:50Made for this
08:52He's not a kid
08:52He's a grown man
08:53But he was made for this
08:54The second generation
08:56A guy who's done it all
08:57Being 14-time world champion
08:58Triple crown winner
09:00He's done it all
09:02But he was in a great position
09:03From day one
09:03I must say that
09:04Big clothesline out of the corner
09:06By Randy Orton
09:07Orton said
09:07Drew has no idea
09:09What's coming for him tonight
09:10That's quite the warning
09:12From the 14-time world champion
09:14One
09:15Two
09:17Three
09:18Four
09:19Five
09:20Six
09:21Seven
09:22Eight
09:23Nine
09:24And Orton again
09:32Strikes
09:33Randy Orton is rolling
09:36Against McIntyre
09:37In our main event of SmackDown
09:54As we're taking a look right now
09:58Wherever you're watching around the world
10:00It
10:00I don't know if it appears to you
10:02The same way to me
10:03But Randy Orton looks like
10:04He may have
10:05Tweaked his knee a little bit
10:07I mean, he looks like
10:07He may have jammed it a little bit
10:09After that last sequence
10:11But right now
10:12He's trying to walk it off
10:13And you do not want to put a bullseye
10:16On your body
10:17When you're in there
10:18With someone like
10:18Drew McIntyre
10:20Well, because Drew's gonna go out there
10:22And he's gonna do what he's gotta do
10:23It's about winning for Drew McIntyre
10:26I mean, he's seen
10:27Randy Orton wrong
10:28Winning top
10:29Randy's had a lot of
10:30A lot of success
10:31In this business
10:32And Drew McIntyre
10:33Feel like he's been
10:34Left out a little bit
10:35So Orton's starting to fight back right now
10:38And you gotta wonder
10:39If he indeed
10:40Tweaked that knee
10:41What is the game plan
10:43If anything changes
10:44Running into each other
10:45Into a cover
10:45And a quick kick out
10:46By Orton
10:47I can tell you right now
10:47The game plan is definitely gonna change
10:49But
10:49Better not
10:50Cater to that knee too much
10:52Because I'm gonna tell you right now
10:54If he does
10:54Drew McIntyre is gonna seek and destroy
10:57Rivalry between these two
11:00Really escalating over the summer
11:02Paris had some classic matches
11:05Even dating back to 2020
11:06Over the WWE title
11:07But Booker
11:08You've said it to me
11:09Time and time again
11:10Some people in the locker room
11:13Just don't get along
11:14I mean, it's an alpha mentality
11:16I mean
11:17Everybody in this business
11:18If you want to be on top
11:20You're gonna have that type of mentality
11:22And Drew McIntyre
11:23Since day one
11:24Randy Orton
11:25Since day one
11:26Both of these guys are alpha
11:27City of pleasure
11:32Being applied right now
11:34By Drew McIntyre
11:35Really just ripping back
11:36On the left arm
11:37The left elbow
11:38And now really focusing
11:39On the left shoulder
11:41Beautiful transition
11:42Right there
11:43From Drew McIntyre
11:44Randy's had shoulder problems
11:46In the past
11:46We all know that
11:47Certainly had
11:48And now you think about
11:49If he's going after the shoulder
11:50Going after the knee
11:51It's almost as if
11:52Drew McIntyre
11:53Is starting to
11:54Systematically dissect
11:55The Viper
11:56Old-fashioned right hands
11:57Right there
11:58It'll always work
11:59Oh, yes
12:00Well, that headbutt
12:01Was pretty effective too, Book
12:03And it's
12:04Oh
12:04Right there
12:05With a poke in the eye
12:06But again
12:06Just one shot
12:07Dropping Randy
12:08Not today, brother
12:11Not today
12:12Look, Orton
12:13Has gotten the better part
12:14Of the Scottish Warrior
12:15Let's not forget
12:16It was Orton
12:17Almost
12:18Put in McIntyre
12:19Several weeks ago
12:21Really cementing
12:23The bad blood
12:24Between the two
12:25That was really
12:28As effective as anything
12:29Orton now tries
12:33To see
12:34To be blocking out
12:34Some of the pain
12:35As the action
12:36Spilling here
12:36To the outside
12:37Just like we saw earlier
12:39Remember to our left
12:40Jake Cargill
12:41Tiffany Stratton
12:42Right into our
12:43Timekeeper's area
12:44Randy Orton
12:45Randy Orton right now
12:46He's the one
12:46Who's methodically
12:48Taking apart
12:48Drew McIntyre
12:49How quickly
12:50Things have changed
12:51Talk about Randy Orton
12:52You talk about that
12:53Perhaps
12:54Tweak knee right now
12:55The adrenaline factor
12:56Is kicking in
12:57Oh
12:58They go right to the eye
13:00It is always
13:01Drew McIntyre
13:02McIntyre cutting corners
13:07As our main event continues
13:08Drew McIntyre has been in control
13:18Right now
13:19After
13:19Really going to work
13:21On Randy Orton
13:22And breaking his body down
13:23We've been keeping our eye
13:25On Randy Orton
13:25Who seemed to have
13:26Tweaked his knee
13:27At the start of this matchup
13:28Oh
13:29But he's still got a lot left
13:30Certainly does
13:31Big suplex there
13:33From Randy Orton
13:34And as much as you know
13:35Randy
13:35Are you surprised
13:36That McIntyre
13:37Keeps poking the Viper
13:38I mean he knows
13:39What Randy Orton
13:41Is capable of
13:41I'll tell you something
13:42These two guys
13:43Are pretty much
13:44Cut from the same cloth
13:45Man
13:45Randy Orton
13:46As well as Drew McIntyre
13:48Both touted to be
13:49Superstars
13:50At the young age
13:51Of 20 years old
13:53Well I want to bring that back
13:54Because can you believe
13:55Drew said that
13:55WWE needs
13:56And this is his quote
13:57Not mine
13:58A real man
14:00Randy Orton
14:01Is as real
14:02As it gets Booker
14:03Take nothing away
14:04From Randy Orton
14:05But you got to give
14:05Drew McIntyre
14:07A lot of credit
14:07Think about the pandemic era
14:09Who held it up
14:10Who held it up
14:11With that man right there
14:12Drew McIntyre
14:14Like I said
14:15You got to give him
14:15A lot of credit
14:16I never not gave him credit
14:18But there you saw
14:19Randy Orton
14:19Grab that knee
14:20For a moment
14:21Doing damage to himself
14:23But look
14:23Randy Orton right now
14:24Trying to block out
14:25The pain
14:25And going right
14:26With a kick
14:27Going down low
14:28And we talk about
14:29The bullseye
14:29Being on the body
14:30Of Randy
14:30Drew McIntyre
14:32Has waited
14:32For this moment
14:34To now chop down
14:35Orton
14:36Beautiful Bobby
14:37Bounce
14:37Chop block
14:38Right there
14:39And now you're
14:41Taking a look
14:41At this matchup
14:42Legends aren't
14:43Defined by their success
14:44They're defined
14:45By how they can
14:46Bounce back
14:47From failure
14:47Randy reflects
14:49Then strikes
14:49Drew complains
14:51Then blames
14:52Others
14:52For his failures
14:53And he's taking it
14:54Out right now
14:55On Randy Orton
14:56Now as a kid
14:56Who came here
14:57Like I'd say
14:5820 years old
14:59It didn't work out
15:00For him
15:00He went out there
15:01Made his own breaks
15:02Came back
15:03And became
15:03The world heavyweight champion
15:04Yeah and then he blamed
15:05Then he blamed
15:06CM Punk
15:07Then he blamed
15:08Everybody around himself
15:09Now he's blaming
15:09Randy Orton
15:10I mean come on
15:11I mean
15:12Drew McIntyre
15:13He didn't have evolution
15:14Oh come on
15:15He didn't have
15:15Triple H in his corner
15:16He didn't have
15:17Oh so that's Randy's fault
15:18He didn't have
15:19Those guys
15:19No
15:20But it was a huge advantage
15:22Can you agree with me
15:23I'm gonna get back
15:25Into what's going on
15:26Because it's Drew McIntyre
15:27Who's locking in
15:28A figure four
15:29In the center of the ring
15:30And the knee
15:31Has been the issue
15:32For Randy
15:32Since the beginning
15:33And now you can see
15:34The pain shooting
15:35Through the body
15:36Of the former
15:3714 time world champion
15:38You can see the pain
15:40Radiating
15:41Through Randy Orton's
15:43Body right now
15:44Like I said
15:45We're in those deep waters
15:46And Drew's gonna
15:47Try to finish this thing
15:49McIntyre called
15:50Orton out
15:50For not doing
15:51What needs to be done
15:52When it counts
15:53And McIntyre saw
15:55An opening
15:55He took it
15:56He saw the knee
15:57Was tweaked
15:58He's continuing
15:59To apply the pressure
16:00Looking at the eyes
16:00Of the Scottish warrior
16:01Because Randy Orton
16:03Right now has been
16:03In this figure four
16:05For quite some time
16:06We don't know
16:07How much damage is done
16:08But Randy now
16:09Trying to turn
16:10Trying to turn
16:11Drew over
16:12To reverse the pressure
16:13Can Randy get there
16:15So close
16:17Drew fighting
16:18In his own right
16:19But now
16:19The pressure's turned
16:20And it's Drew
16:23Who gets his way
16:25And slithers
16:26To the bottom rope
16:27Thing is
16:27We don't know
16:28If Randy's
16:29If he's just hurt
16:30Or if he's injured
16:31At this point
16:32Because if he's injured
16:33That's gonna be trouble
16:35Trust me
16:36Well Randy having trouble
16:38Just standing
16:39I mean take a look
16:39At him Booker
16:40He can't even put any weight
16:41On his leg
16:42But he's still
16:43Firing back
16:44Throwing big shots
16:45Right now
16:45Oh yeah
16:48Belly to back
16:49Suplex
16:49Connecting
16:51Got all of it
16:51But Drew did
16:52Something smart
16:53Right there
16:53Created a lot of
16:54Space right there
16:55Trying to get
16:56His wits back
16:57Created a little bit
16:58Of separation
16:59Did McIntyre
17:00And right now
17:01But this is giving
17:01Randy Orton
17:02A couple of moments
17:03To get some breath
17:04To get his
17:04Get his mind right
17:06So to speak
17:07Try to figure out
17:08What's going on
17:09With his body
17:09Zach's feeling
17:12A little bit too close
17:13Here Book
17:13Oh yes

17:16We talked about
17:17Between these two
17:18But I don't know
