00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:30He is the number one contender for the WWE Championship.
00:00:34The Scottish warrior Drew McIntyre is here tonight.
00:00:39As is the undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
00:00:42Cody and Drew will sign the contract to make their match at Wrestle Palooza tomorrow night.
00:00:48Official here live on SmackDown.
00:00:51Chelsea Green and her secret Herb is out of the fire.
00:00:54The number one contenders for the women's tag team titles are here tonight.
00:00:58But they've got their work cut out for them against the fighting women's tag team champions.
00:01:04Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, look to retain the gold tonight.
00:01:09What an opportunity for Carmelo Hayes as he looks to win his first United States Championship.
00:01:16It is another United States Championship Open challenge from that man.
00:01:20The champion Sami Zayn.
00:01:22Sami Carmelo for the United States title live tonight.
00:01:28And you are looking live at the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio.
00:01:3424 hours away from Wrestle Palooza.
00:01:37We are jam-packed tonight for Friday Night SmackDown.
00:01:40Hello again everybody at ringside tonight.
00:01:44Michael Cole and Corey Graves.
00:01:45Corey, 24 hours away from Wrestle Palooza.
00:01:49I cannot wait to begin the ESPN era here in WWE.
00:01:53And what bigger way than to kick off Wrestle Palooza than with a match between the greatest of all time,
00:01:58John Cena and the beast Brock Lesnar.
00:02:01Speaking of Brock Lesnar, I was supposed to do that sit down interview with Brock later on tonight.
00:02:05I'm being told that Brock wants to do the interview right now.
00:02:08So I've got to head back to the locker room.
00:02:11Well, yeah, far be it from us to keep Brock Lesnar waiting for much of anything.
00:02:16I'll hold down the fort until you get finished with that.
00:02:18So much headed your way tonight on SmackDown.
00:02:21As Michael Cole said a few moments ago, we make it official.
00:02:24Cody Rhodes will defend the undisputed WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre.
00:02:35Tomorrow at Wrestle Palooza, it looks like Cole's not going to be able to make it backstage.
00:02:40Brock waits for no one.
00:02:48This is the man who will stand toe to toe tomorrow to kick off Wrestle Palooza with John Cena.
00:03:18Oh, no.
00:03:20Not again.
00:03:32What are you doing?
00:03:34Oh, my God.
00:03:36Come on.
00:03:38Come on.
00:03:40Come on.
00:03:42Come on.
00:03:44Come on.
00:03:46Come on.

00:03:50Oh, no, no, no.
00:03:52Be careful here.
00:03:54Come on.
00:03:56Come on.
00:03:58Come on.
00:04:00Come on.
00:04:02Come on.
00:04:04This is completely uncalled for.
00:04:08Oh yeah.
00:05:08John, I'm coming for you.
00:05:26It's D-Day tomorrow, John.
00:05:28I'm coming for blood.
00:05:38I'm coming for you.
00:06:08I'm coming for you.
00:06:38Come on, you're fucking...
00:06:42Come on, Stina!
00:06:49Come on, Stina!
00:06:53Come on, Stina!
00:06:57Come on, Stina!
00:06:58Come on, Stina!
00:08:03You guys have to take care of it.
00:09:03John, I'm coming for you.
00:09:09It's D-Day tomorrow, John.
00:09:11I'm coming for blood.
00:09:12I'm coming for you.
00:09:43We should talk.
00:09:51All right, gentlemen, I'm just going to say it.
00:09:58Today, not the day.
00:10:00I have a contract signing tonight for the main event of Wrestle Palooza.
00:10:04What I need are two signatures on that document.
00:10:08What I don't need are any more problems.
00:10:11Mr. Aldis, you misread our intentions entirely.
00:10:16I actually came here tonight to broker a peace between Mr. Breaker, Mr. Reid and the Usos.
00:10:23Where would they be?
00:10:27The Usos are not here.
00:10:28The Usos are in Indianapolis.
00:10:30But something tells me you already know that.
00:10:33Me?
00:10:34How would I know such a thing?
00:10:36To be honest, I think you're the greatest general manager I've ever seen.
00:10:40I love the way you put SmackDown together.
00:10:42We are here now.
00:10:45We'll just enjoy the show.
00:10:48Nice suit.
00:10:49Very nice.
00:10:50Well, I mean, Cory's.
00:11:19cory's back there getting medical attention because he he came to help me i mean listen
00:11:30i've been doing this a long time and i mean i've been in the ring i've been beaten up
00:11:36i've been manhandled i've been pushed around but
00:11:39i've never ever felt as helpless as i did out there tonight and
00:11:49if that's what uh if that's what awaits john cena tomorrow
00:11:56i don't even know if
00:11:59if my friend john has the answers
00:12:19go go go go go all hail the queen
00:12:24so
00:13:35We're going to try to get an update at some point here on the condition of Corey Graves after the all-out assault by Brock Lesnar moments ago.
00:13:49But I'm going to try to regroup here, folks.
00:13:51Excuse me if it takes me a little bit of time.
00:13:54I understand that this is a very important matchup tonight.
00:13:57It's for the women's tag team titles.
00:14:01Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss defending tonight in a match that was supposed to happen a number of weeks ago.
00:14:07Before an attack by Chelsea Green and Alba Fire on Charlotte Flair injured Charlotte's leg.
00:14:12She was out of action for a number of weeks.
00:14:14And we find ourselves here tonight.
00:14:19Pledge your allegiance to Chelsea Green.
00:14:26And there are the challengers, the team of Alba Fire and Chelsea Green!
00:14:51One other note on this Brock Lesnar situation.
00:14:56Of course, in 24 hours, he faces John Cena at WrestlePalooza.
00:15:02But I'm not having flashbacks to what happened in SummerSlam over a decade ago between Lesnar and John Cena.
00:15:13It was one of the most lopsided matches that I have ever called.
00:15:18It was very uncomfortable throughout the night.
00:15:21It was the night that John Cena was introduced to Suplex City when Brock Lesnar absolutely destroyed the GOAT in his prime.
00:15:33And I shudder to think what John Cena faces tomorrow night against that unhinged man.
00:15:44So, again, going to focus on what the task is at hand.
00:15:47This is for the Women's Tag Team Championship tonight.
00:15:50Of course, Alexa and Charlotte, who won the titles back in August at SummerSlam by knocking off the Judgment Day,
00:15:56looking to successfully retain tonight.
00:15:58Chelsea and Alba, again, mentioned they cost themselves a title opportunity a couple of weeks ago with that sneak attack on Charlotte.
00:16:04But they have a chance now to win the gold back tonight.
00:16:06We'll have to see if Charlotte is 100%, as she is medically cleared to be in this match.
00:16:11And now Alexa, legal in this matchup.
00:16:25Tag champs are trying to work together as a team.
00:16:28Fire now makes the tag.
00:16:40It is hard to concentrate out here, folks.
00:16:43I apologize as Chelsea delivers the dropkick.
00:16:48This is for the Women's Tag Team titles.
00:16:50Oh, goodness.
00:16:51And Alexa whipped face first into the ring post.
00:16:54Hey, get on the ring.
00:17:11I'm coming, I'm coming.
00:17:12Okay, she's good.
00:17:15Back her up, back her up.
00:17:24What's the problem?
00:17:26Stop going.
00:17:28Stop going.
00:17:30Stop going.
00:17:32Stop going.
00:17:34Come on.
00:17:36Come on.
00:17:38Come on.
00:17:40Come on.
00:17:42One, two, three.
00:17:44One, two, three.
00:17:46Stop going.
00:17:48Come on.
00:17:50Two, three.
00:17:52One, two, three.
00:17:54One, two, three.
00:17:56One, two, three.
00:17:58One, two, three.
00:18:00One, two, three.
00:18:02One, two, three.
00:18:04One, two, three.
00:18:06Now, here's the cover by Chelsea.
00:18:08And Bliss kicks out.
00:18:10Again, the women's tag titles are on the line here in this matchup.
00:18:15And still trying to get some information on the condition of my broadcast colleague Corey Graves,
00:18:21who moments ago was hit with two F5s by just an out of control Brock Lesnar.
00:18:34He was foaming from the mouth at points.
00:18:37It looks like we're gonna have some help for the rest of the show.
00:18:55Wait a minute.
00:18:56Cover and a kick out.
00:18:57Welcome.
00:18:58He will have help.
00:18:59I was backstage.
00:19:00Saw Corey Graves getting medical attention.
00:19:02Wish him a speedy recovery.
00:19:04How did he look?
00:19:05I mean, does he look okay?
00:19:06Honestly, no.
00:19:07No, he does not look okay.
00:19:09I mean, Miz, you've been in the ring with Brock.
00:19:12I mean, have you ever seen him in the mood that he was in tonight?
00:19:15No.
00:19:16And if he comes back out here, I'm not protecting you.
00:19:17I'm not protecting anyone.
00:19:18I think everyone would run.
00:19:19Run.
00:19:20And if I'm John Cena, I would run.
00:19:22I don't know if that's what I want my farewell tour to be like.
00:19:25Especially in Indianapolis at Russell Palooza.
00:19:27I agree.
00:19:28And this is a tag title match in Alba Fire now with the kick out by Alexa Bliss.
00:19:33And I gotta tell you, Alba Fire is one of the most underrated superstars I have seen in all of WWE.
00:19:38I see what Chelsea Green sees in her.
00:19:40Could you imagine if Chelsea Green and Alba Fire win the tag team titles tonight?
00:19:44Oh, man.
00:19:46Well, you mentioned Alba Fire.
00:19:48She once held the NXT United Kingdom Championship 649 days.
00:19:54So that's just telling you what type of competitor she is.
00:19:57As a WWE superstar, I watch.
00:19:59I learn.
00:20:00I try to see what the abilities are of another superstar.
00:20:04And I gotta tell you, she's got everything.
00:20:06She has absolutely it.
00:20:18She has absolutely it.

00:31:00versus fraxium and it's going to be right now great call by our general manager nick alvis
00:31:10fraxium in the vision
00:31:14so miz we've got an impromptu tag team matchup tonight breaker and reed who tomorrow at wrestle
00:31:31palooza take on the reuniting usos to take on frazier and axiom the tag team of fraxium
00:31:38i love it i mean fraxium has such speed i mean they're the fastest tag team i've ever been in
00:31:44the ring with but man when you talk about the vision when you talk about bronson reed and braun
00:31:50breaker they are dominant and they are going up against the usos at wrestle palooza the usos being
00:31:57one of the greatest tag teams of our generation of all time dare i say you know you've been spending
00:32:03a lot of time over here on smackdown and but i'm sure you've seen the damage that those two men
00:32:08breaker and reed have been uh doing on monday night raw as of late i mean some people do a five-star
00:32:14frog splash when you hit that tsunami by bronson i felt it i still feel it i had it hit on me exactly
00:32:22a year ago and then brons i mean braun breaker my gosh the spear there's there's a spear and then
00:32:28there's when brons braun breaker break hits a spear i can't imagine what that must feel like
00:32:34as axiom as speed actually as i show speed starts things off against braun breaker here tonight so
00:32:39braun breaker former intercontinental champion tell me about him he has all the tools all the tools he
00:32:45has the it factor and now he has seth rollins he has paul hayman to literally just pick the brain and
00:32:52that's what you want to do as an up-and-coming superstar i mean look at the look he has the genetics he's got
00:32:58everything he takes he's got the speed the agility the strength the dominance he is it nathan frazier
00:33:05now the legal man uh frazier and axiom they have some history against braun breaker battled them a
00:33:11number of times at nxt when breaker was the tag team champion with baron corbin as a tag is made
00:33:17now by axiom who's going to head up to the top rope
00:33:19and now the cross body oh and breaker caught it into a slam
00:33:29that was absolutely incredible paul hayman with a big old grin on his face at ringside watching
00:33:35his charges from the vision just look at the attitude of these two
00:33:41paul who are you talking to in the middle of the match he is making a phone call he is
00:33:48oh and reed but the man is always busy he's got people on speed dial left and right he's talking to
00:33:54everyone he wants to talk about well as i mentioned before maybe he's uploading the espn
00:33:58app his vocal cords are better remember he was choked out by roman reigns a number of weeks ago
00:34:04he was sent to the hospital with a vocal cord issue but apparently it's he's a lot better and
00:34:09speaking of roman reigns what about what bronson reed and braun breaker did to roman reigns
00:34:16the tsunamis we haven't seen rain since he was taken to the hospital with a
00:34:20with injured ribs this audience wanting yearning for the otc i don't know when we're going to see
00:34:26roman reigns again if ever either and breaker now in control of axiom
00:34:33think about what happens when the vision takes on the usos and if they beat the usos we're gonna
00:34:40find out tomorrow night
00:34:49impromptu matchup here on friday night smackdown breaker reed of the vision with paul hamming hanging
00:34:54out at ringside taking on fraxium who've been very game so far in this matchup miss yeah it's
00:35:00actually it's not that it's shocking because fraxium is a very good tag team but man i gotta tell you
00:35:06the vision under the vision of seth rollins and paul hayman my gosh the sky is the limit for these two
00:35:13and tomorrow night at wrestlepalooza streaming live on the brand new espn app it'll be a breaker and
00:35:21read against the reuniting usos jimmy and jay one of the greatest tag teams of all time eighth time
00:35:26tag team champions is jesus with a big backdrop and look in a singles match you can beat jay
00:35:35you can beat jimmy but you put the usos together they're twins they've been together since day one
00:35:41there's an elite sense of chemistry as it oh my god oh look at the speed breaker you want speed how
00:35:48you like that speed now may as you make a great point about the usos being together since day one
00:35:52but they haven't teamed in a traditional tag team match in a couple of years breaker and reed have
00:35:56been teaming together each and every week so i give the advantage to the vision i disagree with you
00:36:02i normally would go yes the vision absolutely but when you talk about the usos when you talk about jimmy
00:36:08and jay there's an uncanny chemistry there is no rust they can be away from each other and as soon as

00:36:33be main eventing wrestlemania and i believe him as hayman with that old grin on his face looking on as
00:36:39the vision is dismantling fraxium and breaker with a great suplex but is hayman really trustworthy
00:36:47no he tells you that by the way by the way seth lawless is the world champion he's supposed to be
00:36:52in the main event of wrestlemania then you look at roman reigns he's the main event of wrestlemania
00:36:57brock lesnar i mean all of these superstars have attached themselves to paul hayman and have become main
00:37:03eventers and breaker was trying to build speed and he was stopped in his tracks but at what cost cole

00:43:13tomorrow night streaming live on the new espn app well okay come on you're the
00:43:18let's pick up the energy carmelo hayes is in the ring and he is going for the united states
00:43:24championship and ever since i first met carmelo hayes he literally said i want to be
00:43:29united states champion and this is his opportunity
00:43:40i want to be in the new espn app on the new espn app and he is the united states champion
00:43:56It is Sami Zayn!
00:44:02Okay, we know the story.
00:44:05Sami Zayn, a decade ago, when he made his first appearance on Monday Night Raw,
00:44:10he accepted an open challenge for the United States Championship from the then-champion John Cena.
00:44:15So to pay homage to Cena in his final year here in WWE,
00:44:20Ms. Sami Zayn has started his own United States Championship Open Challenge.
00:44:25I hate open challenges.
00:44:26You never, you have to make a person earn the United States Championship.
00:44:30So you're saying Carmelo didn't earn this?
00:44:32Hold on, hold on.
00:44:33But Sami opened the floodgate, opened the door to anyone.
00:44:37Last week we saw a barn burner, a five-star match from Ray Phoenix.
00:44:41And honestly, that match, Ben, he was already on the map,
00:44:46but I'll tell you what, a lot of people saw what Ray Phoenix can absolutely do,
00:44:51and they're going to see what Carmelo Hayes can do.
00:44:53And I'm telling Carmelo Hayes, when he wins the United States Championship,
00:44:58we will not allow anyone to do an open challenge.
00:45:02You will have to earn the right to face Carmelo Hayes.
00:45:05Interesting take on that.
00:45:07As we get set for the United States Championship match.
00:45:15Here on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:45:17And tonight's matchup is presented by Jimmy John's.
00:45:20Order a toasted pizza sandwich at JimmyJohns.com.
00:45:23Carmelo, I'm buying Carmelo a turkey tom, baby.
00:45:26So let's talk.
00:45:27We're going to celebrate at Jimmy John's tonight.
00:45:29Hey, let's talk about the United States Championship.
00:45:31Miz, you're a former U.S. champion.
00:45:33How important and prestigious is this title?
00:45:35This is what Carmelo's been telling me he's been dreamed of as a child.
00:45:40If you look at the rich history, you know, if you look at Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, myself,
00:45:47and now Sami Zayn, everyone is trying to make sure that this title has the prestige and honor that it deserves.
00:45:53Now, Sami Zayn, of course, has been a fighting champion,
00:45:56and there's the athleticism of Carmelo Hayes.
00:45:58So Miz, Carmelo Hayes is so confident in this match, Cole,
00:46:02that he told me he didn't want me to get involved.
00:46:05Well, you did get involved Tuesday at NXT Homecoming.
00:46:09Because I thought he wanted me to do that.
00:46:11He told me tonight, do not get involved.
00:46:13I can do this on my own.
00:46:15He reminds me of a young Miz,
00:46:17a person that wants to have the WWE United States Championship around his waist,
00:46:21and I told him, hey, let me go to Nick Aldis.
00:46:23I'll get us a number one contendership for the tag team titles.
00:46:28And you got that done?
00:46:28And I got that done.
00:46:30So imagine this.
00:46:31Carmelo Hayes with the United States Championship,
00:46:33with the tag team championship,
00:46:35will look like a 2010 Mintz with all that gold.
00:46:37I once liked a young Miz as well,
00:46:41as Sami Zayn delivers the right hand.
00:46:43I got you to WrestleMania.
00:46:44To Carmelo Hayes, that you did.
00:46:45And you're 1-0, aren't you?
00:46:46Yeah, a lot of people regret that.
00:46:48Nonetheless, it was Carmelo and Trick Williams at NXT Homecoming
00:46:50that knocked off DIY thanks to The Miz.
00:46:53And Sami Zayn dumped out to the apron.
00:46:57What is it about Carmelo Hayes that attracted you to want a team with a Miz?
00:47:00Has it all.
00:47:02Creativity.
00:47:03Unbelievable work ethic is one of the hardest work.
00:47:06Wow!
00:47:07It's what I look at when I was coming up in WWE that I wish I had in WWE.
00:47:12I wish I had a young Miz basically telling me what to do.
00:47:16You've never done that.
00:47:17I haven't done that.
00:47:19You're absolutely correct.
00:47:19No one can.
00:47:23And the uber-athletic Carmelo Hayes in control of the United States Champion,
00:47:37Sami Zayn.
00:47:38The Miz with me at ringside because the situation with Corey Graves and Brock Lesnar
00:47:42earlier tonight, but Miz, you get a front-row seat to watch your buddy in action.
00:47:46Front-row seat to him winning the United States Championship would be an after-
00:47:50I would jump out of my seat, run over there, put him in my arm, and put that title around
00:47:55his waist.
00:47:55You wouldn't be a little bit jealous if Carmelo had gold and you didn't?
00:47:59No, I wouldn't be.
00:48:01Are you kidding me?
00:48:02I want him to have success.
00:48:03That is so unlike you.
00:48:04I want-
00:48:05See, you don't get me.
00:48:06No one gets me.
00:48:08I want to see success in people that I believe in.
00:48:11I believe in Carmelo Hayes.
00:48:12I believe in his ability.
00:48:14This man has the it factor.
00:48:16This audience should be wearing shirts that say him on it because supporting Carmelo Hayes,
00:48:21cheering him, him on.
00:48:23But they're not.
00:48:24Why are they not?
00:48:25They don't understand.
00:48:26Maybe because he teams with you?
00:48:28I don't know.
00:48:29People love me.
00:48:30Were you not in Europe?
00:48:31Did you not hear them celebrating?
00:48:32The people in Europe love everyone.
00:48:35Toledo loves me.
00:48:36I'm 30 minutes from Cleveland, my hometown.
00:48:38Great.
00:48:39Oh, and there's Sami Zayn with a slam of Hayes.
00:48:41Cover now by the United States Champion and a kickout by Carmelo Hayes.
00:48:45I warned Carmelo.
00:48:46I said, look, you're going up against Sami Zayn.
00:48:49Whenever I'm in the ring with Sami Zayn, I know the heart.
00:48:51I know the grit.
00:48:52I know the fight that Sami Zayn, he yearns for this.
00:48:55He lives for this.
00:48:57All he thinks about is being a WWE superstar and how he can be better.
00:49:01So you need to be that much better than him.
00:49:04So what is it you think that Carmelo Hayes is missing to get him up over the top to win that big title?
00:49:09I wish he would listen to me more.
00:49:11If I'm being completely honest with you, and I probably shouldn't be saying this, but I wish he would listen to me more.
00:49:16I think sometimes he's got a lot of bravado.
00:49:19Maybe even a little bit of ego, but I mean, I had a lot of ego.
00:49:22I had a lot of bravado, so that's what I see.
00:49:24I see me in him.
00:49:26Yeah, but sometimes, there it is.
00:49:27There it is.
00:49:27You got this.
00:49:29But again, Miz, ego and bravado got you to the WWE Championship.
00:49:32Exactly.
00:49:33Carmelo Hayes hasn't reached that level yet.
00:49:34And I am going to make sure that all his talents is shown here and showcased here.
00:49:41Hayes cover.
00:49:42Can he win the title?
00:49:43Sami's forced to kick out at two.
00:49:45I want you to watch the moves that Carmelo does, the way he does them.
00:49:49Sometimes, you don't watch the way a wrestler watches another wrestler.
00:49:53No, I don't, because I don't wrestle, so I don't understand it.
00:49:54And I see the intricacies.
00:49:56I see the little things that a superstar needs to beat to make it to that next level, and he has it.
00:50:02Going up against a Sami Zayn and beating a Sami Zayn will allow him to do that.
00:50:07See what I'm saying?
00:50:08What a clothesline by Hayes, and he's in control of the champ.
00:50:12There it is, turning another level.
00:50:14Oh, big right hands by Carmelo Hayes to the United States Champion.
00:50:26And Sami fighting back now.
00:50:28Come on, lay it in.
00:50:29Turn it into a brawl.
00:50:34Lay it in harder, Carmelo.
00:50:36Let's go.
00:50:36Carmelo Hayes in control of the United States Champion Sami Zayn.
00:50:40Miz, I asked you this before.
00:50:41I want to reiterate it, though.
00:50:42You won't be jealous if Carmelo Hayes wins some gold tonight and you don't have any?
00:50:46Why can't you understand that I want success from Carmelo Hayes?
00:50:50Why can anyone understand that?
00:50:53Boom!
00:50:53Big leg drop right across the throat of Sami.
00:50:55Cover now to win the United States Championship.
00:50:58Come on!
00:50:58And a kick out at two.
00:51:00I got to tell you, the referee's kind of a slow counter.
00:51:03And I don't like it.
00:51:04The official in this matchup, Daphne.
00:51:06Focus!
00:51:06Keep locked in.
00:51:09But what is it?
00:51:10What does Carmelo Hayes need to do to make the next step in his career?
00:51:14Listen to me would be step number one.
00:51:16Step number two would be listen to me.
00:51:19Step number three, listen to me.
00:51:22Well, maybe he has been listening to you because he's dominating the champ right now.
00:51:27Miz, of course, a former WWE Champion, United States Champion, Intercontinental Champion, Tag Team Champion.
00:51:31Plenty of the back burner.
00:51:32It's got to watch Sami Zayn.
00:51:34You've got to watch him.
00:51:36Sometimes you feel like you're dominating him in the ring,
00:51:39and then all of a sudden something happens within Sami that allows him to have this fight that I can't stand.
00:51:45Where does he get it from?
00:51:47Some people have that grit.
00:51:49Some people have that heart.
00:51:51Oh!
00:51:53And now Sami Zayn with a big chop and much to the light of this jam-packed crowd tonight.
00:51:59Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, two, one!
00:52:04Okay, we get that you guys can count.
00:52:07Well, Sami Zayn embarrassing Carmelo right now.
00:52:14Again, Miz telling us earlier that Carmelo Hayes has to...
00:52:18No, no, no, no, no!
00:52:19...this matchup.

00:52:22Kick!

00:53:13other superstar that the roster has we've never seen anyone like Carmelo Hayes
00:53:19Carmelo standing switch now by Sammy one by Hayes as well and now Sammy Zane in

00:53:59him with a kick of his own United States Championship on the line
00:54:10what an incredible matchup this has been between the champ Sammy Zane and the challenger
00:54:20Carmelo Hayes I knew it was gonna be and you know what the interesting part about an open
00:54:24challenge is usually you don't get time Carmelo Hayes allowed Sammy Zane to have time
00:54:32he gave him an entire week to prepare that's the thing about an open challenge you don't
00:54:36have any time you just a guy comes out you don't have any time to prepare last week
00:54:39against Ray Phoenix he didn't have time to prepare Carmelo has said I'm so confident
00:54:43in winning this United States Championship against Sammy Zane that I I am gonna give
00:54:48you an entire week to prepare for me well he's look under by the way and I told him
00:54:52not to do that I'm sure you did you always try to take the easy way I guess I didn't
00:54:57just not trying to take the easy way it's trying to be smart in this business why do
00:55:01you think I've been here for 20 years why do you think I've carried every single
00:55:04title and made every title prestigious and relevant I'm not questioning your

00:55:24do that who can do that what a move for the championship kick out come on ref

00:56:33and know I can get him a victory right now I'm surprised that you haven't got involved yet
00:56:37I'm not going to get involved he asked me not to get involved
00:56:41nice guy Cole you're maturing I get that I don't want to be mature to be honest with you I don't want
00:56:50to listen to him but I respect him that much I could have called you old old what do you mean
00:56:55I'm in my prime baby I'm old Sammy Zane now with the rights to Carmelo and Carmelo fighting back
00:57:03and this has been a great matchup United States Championship Open Challenge
00:57:09Sammy's been a fighting champ and now Zane and Hayes collision middle of the ring both men down
00:57:16all right critical point in this matchup
00:57:21this is a great time for Carmelo Hayes to regroup refocus and lock in
00:57:43this is the United States Championship Open Challenge Sammy Zane defended against the
00:57:49challenger Carmelo Hayes and it has been a hell of a matchup here on Smackdown
00:57:53Miz with me at ringside because of the injury to Corey Graves
00:57:56and now Sammy Zane looking for the exploder
00:57:58Hayes holding on it's almost like he had that scouted did you show him some tape
00:58:02you kidding me all we've been doing is watching tape on Sammy Zane
00:58:05I've had matches with Sammy I know his resilience I know what he's like in this ring
00:58:10and oh I know the ability of Carmelo Hayes and this is wow did you see his arm get locked in there
00:58:17Sammy Zane that could be a big deal right there he could have broken his wrist as he got here we go
00:58:21I don't think he could I think he injured himself in the frog splash and couldn't hook the leg
00:58:36and again Sammy Zane really favoring his wrist watch this as he gets caught up in both the second and top rope and then the frog splash
00:58:44now we see a weakness in Sammy Zane now we see the arm
00:58:49but will Carmelo capitalize on the arm you capitalize on the arm yes
00:58:54see Sammy Zane rope burns all over the forearm and wrist of Zane
00:59:02and now Hayes looking at the first 48 intercepted now by Sammy
00:59:08and Sammy going to turn this yes turn around right for the blue thunder
00:59:12there it is the first 48
00:59:15oh and a kick out
00:59:19now what is Carmelo doing here Miz to not get frustrated
00:59:26he hit Sammy Zane with one of his big moves the first 48
00:59:31Sammy kicked out focus rock in

01:01:53he wanted the real me well he's got him no more good guy no more bad guy
01:01:58if you don't give me Alistair you and everybody else around here is gonna deal with a punisher
01:02:05it's demanding and threatening like that that I'm talking about Nick
01:02:09a man with a fragile ego you can't handle the card that he has been dealt
01:02:14so what does he do he acts out in hyper masculine overtly aggressive ways
01:02:19maybe it's time that Damien looks in the mirror because Damien you are toxic

01:02:50Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre will be in the same ring at the same time to sign the contract for their
01:02:58huge match at Wrestlepalooza tomorrow night that's still to come live on SmackDown and coming up next
01:03:04we'll take a look at the next part in our series the history of John Cena
01:03:11Brock Lesnar
01:03:12as Ernest Hemingway once said courage is grace under pressure no WWE superstar epitomizes that
01:03:27phrase more than John Cena
01:03:38oh here he comes
01:03:39a powerhouse of spirit and skill
01:03:48no you gotta be kidding me
01:03:52this is a natural born entertainer
01:03:56and that right there is the WWE champion John Cena
01:04:01big match John you've done it again
01:04:04a leader in both action and deed
01:04:15breaking out of the ruthless aggression era the WWE had become his stage
01:04:19as John Cena transformed into one of the most recognizable personalities in the world
01:04:28please welcome John Cena
01:04:29John Cena
01:04:43after abruptly leaving the WWE Brock Lesnar embraced his true calling that of a combat athlete
01:04:54trading the ring for the octagon
01:04:59between his imposing stature intense speed and freak athleticism Brock became one of UFC's biggest draws
01:05:10and much like his meteoric rise in WWE Lesnar would again shock the world
01:05:16as he captured the UFC heavyweight championship in just his third bout
01:05:21after dominating the world of MMA Brock would become one of the most feared men on the planet with unfinished business
01:05:38oh my Brock Lesnar
01:05:47oh my Brock Lesnar
01:05:52the former WWE champion
01:05:55not what John Cena wanted
01:05:58but that's what he's getting
01:06:03the F5
01:06:03after an eight year hiatus the prize fighter returned to the squared circle in 2012
01:06:11immediately targeting the face of WWE
01:06:15why did I come back to the WWE
01:06:17John Cena is not the real guy and the only reason John is in the spot that he is in is because I left
01:06:24you're sick of me that's one thing but to say that this industry isn't filled with
01:06:28legitimate talent that's just being ignorant
01:06:33and in one of the most brutal matches in WWE history the two men waged war at extreme rules
01:06:41never before in my career in WWE have I witnessed a matchup as punishing
01:06:49as torturous
01:06:51as vicious
01:06:55but John Cena against all odds pulls it out
01:07:00overcoming unimaginable odds John Cena would find a way to prevail
01:07:05earning his first ever victory over the beast incarnate
01:07:10over the next two years Cena and Lesnar led the charge as the standard bearers of WWE
01:07:22John Cena is going to Wrestlemania
01:07:26John Cena is an 11-time WWE champion
01:07:31conquering legends and adding to their hall of fame resumes
01:07:40the streak is over
01:07:45with both superstars in the prime of their careers they were poised to clash yet again
01:07:51this time at SummerSlam 2014 for the undisputed WWE championship and as the anticipation swelled in a
01:07:59sold-out arena in LA no one could possibly predict what would transpire that night
01:08:11guys we're about 30 seconds into this match and it's almost over
01:08:16it's a merciless assault
01:08:20an absolutely dominating performance
01:08:22most of the greatest thing that I've ever accomplished in my mind I came back to this company
01:08:30with one goal in mind and that was to become
01:08:34the WWE heavyweight champion of the world
01:08:36in the single most dominant championship fountain history the man many believed to be invincible was in fact a mere mortal
01:08:48Lesnar was not only champion but the undisputed alpha of WWE
01:08:54tomorrow hours before Wrestlepalooza
01:09:04we preview Lesnar and Cena's final battle
01:09:07he's on some retirement escapade this staged retirement party and i'm about to that up
01:09:16I'll never forget SummerSlam 2014 and the dominant performance one of the most uncomfortable matches
01:09:26that I've ever had to call in my career between Lesnar and Cena and after what we saw Brock Lesnar do
01:09:31earlier tonight I fear tomorrow could possibly be the same it's Cena Brock Lesnar kicking off

01:19:40Question for you, Drew
01:19:42Do you know what happened on this very day
01:19:4515 years ago?
01:19:49You and I
01:19:50We won the Tag Team Championships
01:19:54Right?
01:19:57Do you know who was backstage talking about that?
01:20:01Nobody
01:20:02And I think you know why
01:20:06The world doesn't revolve around you
01:20:09It doesn't revolve around me
01:20:11Your story, my story
01:20:13It's not
01:20:14It's their story
01:20:16No, it's simple
01:20:19They don't need to know all the lore
01:20:22Sometimes they pay their hard-earned money
01:20:24And they just want to watch two guys
01:20:26Two of the best fight
01:20:28I understand
01:20:33Who you are
01:20:35I get it
01:20:36In the past, you've won a Royal Rumble
01:20:38In the past, you've been WWE Champion
01:20:41In the past, you've slayed the Beast
01:20:44You're 6'5
01:20:45You're 280 pounds
01:20:47You're the Scottish Warrior
01:20:49But lately
01:20:55The Scottish Warrior
01:20:56Has just been
01:20:58A keyboard warrior
01:21:01And you know it
01:21:06So go ahead
01:21:08I know you have it on you
01:21:09Pull your phone out
01:21:10Skin that smoke wagon
01:21:13Go ahead
01:21:13Let's get viral
01:21:15Make a post on social media
01:21:17Get one over on me
01:21:20Make sure that you
01:21:21Who's always bitching
01:21:23And moaning
01:21:23And whining

01:21:28You're going to get one over on me
01:21:30Go ahead
01:21:31Have at it, Drew
01:21:32What's that supposed to mean?

01:21:47Thank you, Cody
01:21:50All I've wanted
01:21:53Was a legitimate shot
01:21:55At the WWE Championship
01:21:57No outside interference
01:21:58Nobody's screwing me over
01:22:01And you're not going to let that happen
01:22:02Because you're the ultimate company guy
01:22:05You're a fighting champion
01:22:06And you honestly
01:22:08You don't really think for yourself anymore, do you?
01:22:12You always think about the bigger picture
01:22:15What's best for the company
01:22:16The stock prices
01:22:18The sponsors
01:22:19You're naming the marquee
01:22:21You're the corporate champion
01:22:24That used to be a bad thing
01:22:28I mean
01:22:28I kicked your head through an announce table, Cody
01:22:31You were out for five weeks
01:22:32Instead of stomping my brains in
01:22:35Like I would do to you
01:22:36You're talking me to death
01:22:38And I understand
01:22:42You can put personal issues aside
01:22:46You're not willing to jeopardize
01:22:48The main event of Wrestlepalooza tomorrow
01:22:51I was in your chair five years ago
01:22:54I get it
01:22:55But here's a reality check
01:22:56They're going to turn on you
01:22:58They're going to move on
01:23:00To the next flavor of the month
01:23:02And you're going to be sitting in my chair
01:23:05Telling yourself
01:23:06My God
01:23:07Drew was right
01:23:11Okay, say you're right
01:23:19Then tomorrow night Wrestlepalooza
01:23:21Is a great night for you
01:23:23And say you're wrong
01:23:25Then guess what happens
01:23:26Your legacy isn't all those accomplishments
01:23:29Your legacy isn't this content creator you've become
01:23:33Your legacy becomes the man
01:23:36Who lost to me
01:23:38At our debut ESPN PLE
01:23:41For the WWE Undisputed Championship
01:23:45Well, it's official
01:23:57And that gets higher with a cheap shot
01:24:04The Glasgow Kiss headbutt to Cody Rhodes
01:24:07Stumbling out of the ring
01:24:11And McIntyre now
01:24:13We're going to have the last lap
01:24:15The last lap
01:24:16The last throw tonight, Miz
01:24:17And the brawl's on the way
01:24:20Here we go
01:24:21Rhodes bounced off the announce
01:24:26McIntyre's going to do
01:24:27What he did to Rhodes five weeks ago
01:24:29I'm not going to kick your head
01:24:45Through the announce table again
01:24:46This match is happening tomorrow
01:24:48And I'm taking the one thing
01:24:50That means the most to you
01:24:51That WWE Championship
01:24:53The answer to your question, Miz
01:24:58McIntyre wants to
01:24:59Have Cody Rhodes ready to go
01:25:02So he can take the title
01:25:03Tomorrow night at Wrestle Palooza
01:25:06I ain't going to screw it up for myself
01:25:10Oh, here we go
01:25:15Wait a minute
