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.
00:03:46I'm out.
00:03:48Come on.
00:03:50Come on.
00:03:52Be careful.
00:03:54Come on.
00:03:56Come on.

00:04:02We're going.
00:04:04Come on.
00:04:06We're going.

00:04:10China, China, China, China, China!
00:05:26It's D-Day tomorrow, John.
00:05:28I'm coming for blood.
00:05:29It's D-Day tomorrow, John.

00:09:02John, I'm coming for you.
00:09:09It's D-Day tomorrow, John.
00:09:11I'm coming for blood.
00:09:32We should talk.
00:09:44All 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.
00:10:13Oh, Mr. Aldis, you misread our intentions entirely.
00:10:16I actually came here tonight to broker a peace between Mr. Breaker, Mr. Reed, and the Usos.
00:10:24Where 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, Corey's.
00:11:20Corey's back there getting medical attention because he came to help me.
00:11:29I mean, listen, I've been doing this a long time.
00:11:34I mean, I've been in the ring.
00:11:35I've been beaten up.
00:11:36I've been manhandled.
00:11:37I've been pushed around.
00:11:38But I've never, ever felt as helpless as I did out there tonight.
00:11:49And if that's what awaits John Cena tomorrow,
00:11:57I don't even know if my friend John has the answers.
00:12:02All hail the queen.
00:12:24Let's go.
00:12:54Let's go.
00:13:24And introducing first, they are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, Charlotte Blair, Alexa Blair.
00:13:37Well, we'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 Blair 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 Blair 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.
00:15:32And 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 goal 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.
00:16:41It 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.
00:16:54Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:16:56Ha, ha, ha!
00:16:57Yes!
00:17:09Hey!
00:17:10Get in the ring!
00:17:11I'm coming, I'm coming.
00:17:12Okay, she's kidding.
00:17:13Good, she's kidding.
00:17:21Come on, Charlotte.
00:17:23Back 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.
00:20:18He's got everything.
00:20:19She's got everything.
00:20:21She's got everything.
00:20:22He's got everything.
00:20:23He's got everything.
00:20:24He's got everything.
00:20:25Uh.
00:20:26Oh.
00:20:28Oh.
00:20:29Oh.
00:20:31Oh.
00:20:33Oh.
00:20:34Oh.
00:20:35Oh.
00:20:36Oh.
00:20:37We are back live on Friday Night Smackdown,
00:20:39Michael Cole at ringside, and this is a tag team championship match.
00:20:42Get that energy up, Michael Cole.
00:20:43Let's go.
00:20:44We got the most must-see WWE superstar of all time on commentary with you, and we've
00:20:48got a hell of a match going on right now for the tag team titles.
00:20:52And Miz, of course, joining me at ringside after the attack by Brock Lesnar on a Corey
00:20:57Gray.
00:20:58Oh, and wait a minute.
00:20:59Almost a tag.
00:21:01And Charlotte Flair driven to the apron by Alba Fire, and Chelsea Green now begins the
00:21:06attack.
00:21:07Smart move by Alba Fire.
00:21:09Chelsea Green needs to get her over to her side, get her away from where she is.
00:21:14Wherever Charlotte Flair actually went.
00:21:17Alexa bounced face to herself the turnbuckle.
00:21:19They successfully defended the tag team titles this past Tuesday night at NXT Homecoming against
00:21:24Damon Paxley of the Culling.
00:21:28But Green looking to win the tag titles for a second time in her career tonight.
00:21:32And Alexa Bliss moving out of harm's way.
00:21:35And can she make a tag move?
00:21:36If Chelsea Green wins the tag title, I don't think we'll hear the end of it, and I think
00:21:40that's a good thing.
00:21:41And no, Alexa Bliss does not make the tag.
00:21:44And I got to tell you, my daughter's favorite superstar besides my tag.
00:21:47Here we go.
00:21:49Here we go.
00:21:50And Charlotte Flair with the clothesline.
00:21:52I think you were going to say Alexa Bliss.
00:21:53Alexa Bliss is my daughter's favorite.
00:21:55She's got dolls.
00:21:56My daughter's got dolls.
00:21:57Hello, Monroe Madison.
00:21:58And now we got some chops by Charlotte Flair.
00:22:01Hey, Miz, I'll tell you something.
00:22:02Charlotte Flair has become a new person after teaming with Alexa Bliss.
00:22:05Oh, she's so much more fun.
00:22:06Are you kidding me?
00:22:07And now Charlotte Flair.
00:22:09Oh, big clothesline to Alba Fire.
00:22:13And Charlotte's fired up here tonight.
00:22:17First time this year that the women's tag titles have been defended on Friday night's
00:22:22SmackDown.
00:22:22And Charlotte has put it on a clinic.
00:22:25What happens if Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss lose these tag titles?
00:22:29These tag titles that bind this tag team.
00:22:31You still think they're BFFs, Cole?
00:22:33Well, you mentioned before that Chelsea Green won't let us hear the end of it.
00:22:35But no, I don't know.
00:22:36I can't figure out this relationship between Charlotte and Alexa.
00:22:40Here we go.
00:22:40From behind.
00:22:41Well, Charlotte Flair.
00:22:42Shoulders down and a kick out by Flair.
00:22:45And Charlotte with a big kick.
00:22:50And Flair sends fire face first into the turnbuckle.
00:22:56And now Charlotte going to go up top.
00:22:59And Chelsea Green going to run interference.
00:23:07And Alba connects with a kick to the face.
00:23:12And now Chelsea Green, the former United States champion.
00:23:16History between Chelsea Green and Alba fire from the top rope.
00:23:20Swan top up.
00:23:21Cover.
00:23:21Here we go.
00:23:22For the tag titles.
00:23:23Oh, nice save by Alexa Bliss.
00:23:26Saves things in this matchup.
00:23:28And now Alba fire with a kick as well.
00:23:29And fire and Green looking great together, Miz.
00:23:32Absolutely.
00:23:33I mean, you're looking at these two and you're thinking, man, this could be our tag team champions.
00:23:38I mean, they are going up against two icons in the division in Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.
00:23:45Oh, and look at that.
00:23:46The double match on selection.
00:23:47Charlotte Flair into the cover.
00:23:48Hook to the leg.
00:23:49Is it an up for the win?
00:23:50And it is.
00:23:51Oh, it is.
00:23:54Here are your winners.
00:23:57And still WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:24:03What a great performance by the champs who just keep getting better and better each week.
00:24:14And you gotta wonder, they're tag team champions.
00:24:17They're winning right now.
00:24:18What happens if they start losing?
00:24:20Does Alexa Bliss go down a spiral and have the dark side come back?
00:24:24I don't know.
00:24:24We don't have to talk about it now.
00:24:26We don't.
00:24:26Because they retain the tag titles tonight.
00:24:28Look, y'all been together a long time.
00:24:37You're brothers.
00:24:38But just like brothers, it's gonna be moments where y'all don't see eye to eye and that's
00:24:41normal.
00:24:42But if tag team gold is still what y'all want, y'all gotta find a way to get past whatever
00:24:48this is and get back to what's best for the street profits.
00:24:52Because you know, it's only a matter of time.
00:24:54I'm so sorry to interrupt, but Brie, Nick is ready to talk to us about next week's tag
00:24:59match against Kiana and Julia.
00:25:01So we need a, we can't, we can't miss out on this opportunity.
00:25:03No, no, cool, cool.
00:25:04Sorry.
00:25:05Look, y'all talk this out.
00:25:07All right?
00:25:08Come on.
00:25:16Look, man.
00:25:16Yeah, look, bro.
00:25:17You know, we always gonna be good.
00:25:19I'm gonna go talk to Nick on us right now so I can figure out how we get back our tag
00:25:23team championships.
00:25:36Angelo.
00:25:40Your brother doesn't want to hear what you have to say.
00:25:43But I will listen.
00:25:48Why do you keep rid of your mouth, man?
00:25:50Huh?
00:25:50What's he trying to prove between us?

00:27:56Truth.
00:27:57Yeah.
00:27:57What if I don't have cable?
00:27:59He got you.
00:28:01Touche!
00:28:03You ain't got cable.
00:28:05For real?
00:28:07For real.
00:28:08If you ain't got cable, dawg, go to string.espn.com.
00:28:15But you want to sign up for the ESPN Unlimited.
00:28:18Sign in and you can watch Wrestle for Lutas tomorrow night.
00:28:22Oh, here it is.
00:28:23Oh, here it is.
00:28:24That is it.
00:28:25Okay.
00:28:25All right, amigos, you two run along.
00:28:28I'll be teaching a Zoom class later on, how you can turn your microwave into a hot spot.
00:28:33Good luck.
00:28:34You know what I'm saying?
00:28:35Good luck.
00:28:35No, I'm not.
00:28:37I'm not.
00:28:38I'm going to be watching the window.
00:28:38Habla singlas.
00:28:38Here you go.
00:28:39Did you get all that, Cole? Did you get all that?
00:28:43Yeah, I did.
00:28:44Because I'm going to be watching Russell Palooza just like R-Truth.
00:28:50The following tag team contest is scheduled for one call.
00:28:54Introducing Perks with a combined weight of 365 pounds, Fraxia!
00:29:01R-Truth was wearing that.
00:29:02Oh, wait a second.
00:29:03Oh, look out, Braun Breaker.
00:29:04What is going on?
00:29:06Bronson Reed of the vision of attacking Fraxia.
00:29:11What a night this has been.
00:29:13Chaos all over the place.
00:29:15And now Heyman marching to the ring.
00:29:17First Brock Lesnar, now this.
00:29:19Heyman is just causing havoc all over the place on SmackDown.
00:29:22I thought you were going to calm things down when you came out here.
00:29:26Ladies and gentlemen.
00:29:30Well, obviously his voice box is better.
00:29:32Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman.
00:29:39You know who they remind me of?
00:29:43The Usos.
00:29:47Down, out, victimized, and flat on their back.
00:29:53Hey, Jimmy and Jay.
00:29:57Hello for my love.
00:29:58And I want you for two Usos, eh?
00:30:01Poo-poo.
00:30:02Pakalola, eh?
00:30:03Huh?
00:30:05For those of you who don't know what that means, it's a spoiler for Wrestlepalooza.
00:30:12It means tomorrow night you're going to hear.
00:30:15And you're a winner!
00:30:16Oh, look at Fraxia off the top rope driving.
00:30:22Reed and Breaker out of the ring.
00:30:24And look at this.
00:30:25Oh, my goodness.
00:30:26Oh, my gosh.
00:30:28You see the speed?
00:30:31Suicide Dives all over the place.
00:30:33They are all over the place.
00:30:34What is going on?
00:30:36Breaker and Reed have been taken out by Fraxia, not what Heyman expected tonight.
00:30:41Let's go, baby!
00:30:43Well, well, gentlemen, so much for just being here to enjoy the show.
00:30:48More of that trademark Paul Heyman honesty, I see.
00:30:52But it looks like you've got your hands full.
00:30:54And if you come to my show and start a fight, you finish it.
00:30:58So it's going to be the Vision versus Fraxium, and it's going to be right now.
00:31:04Great call by our general manager, Nick Aldis.
00:31:07Fraxium and the Vision.
00:31:26So, Miz, we've got an impromptu tag team matchup tonight.
00:31:30Breaker and Reed, who tomorrow at WrestlePalooza take on the reuniting Usos
00:31:34to take on Frazier and Axiom, the tag team of Fraxium.
00:31:38I love it.
00:31:39I mean, Fraxium has such speed.
00:31:41I mean, they are the fastest tag team I've ever been in the ring with.
00:31:44But, man, when you talk about the Vision, when you talk about Bronson Reed
00:31:49and Braun Breaker, they are dominant.
00:31:52And they are going up against the Usos at WrestlePalooza.
00:31:56The Usos being one of the greatest tag teams of our generation of all time, dare I say.
00:32:02You know, you've been spending a lot of time over here on SmackDown,
00:32:05but I'm sure you've seen the damage that those two men, Breaker and Reed,
00:32:09have been doing on Monday Night Raw as of late.
00:32:12I mean, some people do a five-star frog splash.
00:32:15When you hit that tsunami by Bronson Reed, I felt it.
00:32:20I still feel it.
00:32:20I had it hit on me like a year ago.
00:32:23And then Bronson, I mean, Braun Breaker, my gosh, the spear, there's a spear.
00:32:28And then there's when Braun Breaker hits a spear.
00:32:32I can't imagine what that must feel like as Axiom.
00:32:35As speed.
00:32:36As I show speed.
00:32:37Starts things off against Braun Breaker here tonight.
00:32:39So Braun Breaker, former Intercontinental Champion.
00:32:42Tell me about him.
00:32:42He has all the tools.
00:32:44All the tools.
00:32:44He has the it factor.
00:32:46And now he has Seth Rollins.
00:32:48He has Paul Heyman to literally just pick the brain.
00:32:52And that's what you want to do as an up-and-coming superstar.
00:32:55I mean, look at the look.
00:32:56He has the genetics.
00:32:57He's got everything it takes.
00:32:59He's got the speed, the agility, the strength, the dominance.
00:33:02He is it.
00:33:04Nathan Frazier, now the legal man.
00:33:07Frazier and Axiom, they have some history against Braun Breaker.
00:33:10Battled them a number of times at NXT when Breaker was the tag team champion.
00:33:14with Baron Corbin.
00:33:16As a tag is made now by Axiom, who's going to head up to the top rope.
00:33:22And now the crossbody.
00:33:23Oh, and Breaker caught it into a slam.
00:33:29That was absolutely incredible.
00:33:31Paul Heyman with a big old grin on his face at ringside,
00:33:34watching his charges from the vision.
00:33:38Just look at the attitude of these two.
00:33:41Paul, who are you talking to in the middle of the match?
00:33:45He is making a phone call.
00:33:47He is.
00:33:48Oh, and Reed.
00:33:50But the man is always busy.
00:33:51He's got people on speed dial left and right.
00:33:53He's talking to everyone he wants to talk about.
00:33:55Well, as I mentioned before, he's got it.
00:33:57Maybe he's uploading the ESPN app.
00:33:59His vocal cords are better.
00:34:00Remember, 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.
00:34:06But apparently, he's a lot better.
00:34:09And speaking of Roman Reigns, what about what Bronson Reed and Braun Breaker did to Roman Reigns?
00:34:16The tsunamis.
00:34:17We haven't seen Reigns since.
00:34:18He was taken to the hospital with injured ribs.
00:34:21You can hear this audience wanting, yearning for the OTC.
00:34:25I don't know when we're going to see Roman Reigns again, if ever.
00:34:29And Breaker now in control of Axiom.
00:34:31Think about what happens when the Vision takes on the Usos and if they beat the Usos.
00:34:40We're going to find out tomorrow night.
00:34:49Impromptu matchup here on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:34:52Breaker Reed of the Vision with Paul Hamming hanging out at ringside.
00:34:55Taking on Fraxium, who have been very game so far in this matchup, Miz.
00:34:59Yeah, it's actually, it's not that it's shocking because Fraxium is a very good tag team.
00:35:04But man, I got to tell you, the Vision, under the Vision of Seth Rollins and Paul Hamming.
00:35:11My gosh, the sky is the limit for these two.
00:35:14Yeah, tomorrow night at Wrestlepalooza, streaming live on the brand new ESPN app.
00:35:19It'll be a Breaker and Reed against the Reuniting Usos, Jimmy and Jay.
00:35:24One of the greatest tag teams of all time.
00:35:25And eighth time, tag team champions is Breaker with a big backdrop.
00:35:32And look, in a singles match, you can beat Jay.
00:35:35You can beat Jimmy.
00:35:37But you put the Usos together.
00:35:39They're twins.
00:35:39They've been together since day one.
00:35:41There's an elite sense of chemistry as a tag.
00:35:44Oh, my God.
00:35:45Oh, and look at the speed of Breaker.
00:35:47You want speed?
00:35:47How do you like that speed?
00:35:49Now, Miz, 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.
00:35:55Breaker and Reed have been teaming together each and every week.
00:35:58So I give the advantage to the Vision.
00:36:01I disagree with you.
00:36:02I normally would go, yes, the Vision, absolutely.
00:36:05But when you talk about the Usos, when you talk about Jimmy and Jay, there's an uncanny chemistry.
00:36:11There is no rust.
00:36:12They can be away from each other.
00:36:14And as soon as they're in the ring with one another, it's like they've never left.
00:36:17Big Bronx and Rates.
00:36:18Oh, my God.
00:36:19Anton, 330 pounds.
00:36:21I don't wish that upon anyone, Cole.
00:36:24The Oscilla.
00:36:26And the tag made by the unpredictable badass, Braun Breaker.
00:36:31The man who Paul Heyman said one day will be main eventing WrestleMania.
00:36:36And I believe him.
00:36:37As Heyman, with that old grin on his face, looking on as the Vision is dismantling Fraxium.
00:36:43And Baker with a great suplex.
00:36:45But is Heyman really trustworthy?
00:36:47No.
00:36:47And he tells you that.
00:36:48By the way, Seth Rollins is the world champion.
00:36:51He's supposed to be in the main event of WrestleMania.
00:36:54Then you look at Roman Reigns.
00:36:55He's the main event of WrestleMania.
00:36:57Brock Lesnar.
00:36:58I mean, all of these superstars have attached themselves to Paul Heyman and have become main eventers.
00:37:04And Breaker was trying to build speed and he was stopped in his tracks.
00:37:07But at what cost, Cole?
00:37:09At what cost?
00:37:10Indeed.
00:37:11And Heyman now realizing that his team can ill afford a loss tonight.
00:37:16Heading into Wrestlepalooza.
00:37:19And what a night.
00:37:19It's going to be in Indianapolis.
00:37:21Historic evening for WWE.
00:37:24Here we go.
00:37:25Here we go.
00:37:26Watch the speed.
00:37:27Watch the speed, Cole.
00:37:29Yeah, Nathan Frazier, tremendous athlete.
00:37:32Using speed to his advantage.
00:37:33Trying to knock the big man off.
00:37:35He's going to need all the speed he can get.
00:37:38Duck and weave.
00:37:39Duck and weave.
00:37:40Here we go.
00:37:41Hanging up Reed on the top rope.
00:37:44Frazier.
00:37:45Mitchell block kicking.
00:37:46Reed down to a knee.
00:37:47On his knee.
00:37:48Let's go.
00:37:49Reed's down.
00:37:50Frazier quickly to the top rope.
00:37:52Wasting no time.
00:37:53What a frog splash.
00:37:58Cover now.
00:37:59On Reed and a kick out with authority.
00:38:02What did I say, Cole?
00:38:03Frog splash is no tsunami.
00:38:05You need a million frog splashes to just get one tsunami.
00:38:09And here we go.
00:38:10Frazier with that corkscrew moonsault.
00:38:12Landed on his feet.
00:38:13Reed.
00:38:15That's the jagged edge.
00:38:16The Death Valley driver.
00:38:19The jagged edge from Boston Reed.
00:38:21And do you want to do the honors?
00:38:22Oh, no.
00:38:23I do not.
00:38:25Here we go.
00:38:26And it looked like he was going for the tsunami before being intercepted by Axiom.
00:38:33Axiom.
00:38:34My God.
00:38:36Tossed into a spear by Breaker.
00:38:40Tsunami.
00:38:43One, two, three.
00:38:48Here are your winners.
00:38:50Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:38:51Ron Fraker.
00:38:52And Ron Henry.
00:38:57I don't need John Cena's bitch announcing them as a winner.
00:39:02That's my job.
00:39:02That's my job.
00:39:04Like I was saying before, I was so rudely interrupted before.
00:39:08A spoiler for Wrestle Palooza.
00:39:12Ladies and gentlemen, your winners.
00:39:16Well, well, well.
00:39:20There they go right there looking dumb.
00:39:22I see you.
00:39:23The Usos are not a Toledo.
00:39:24Especially Braun.
00:39:25Because right now, the Usos are now in.
00:39:30In day.
00:39:31That's right, Usos.
00:39:32We all over SportsCenter.
00:39:33All over ESPN trying to get it out the way.
00:39:36Because tomorrow night, it's Wrestle Palooza, Usos.
00:39:39Yeah.
00:39:39And it's the Bronies versus the Usos.
00:39:41The Bronies fourth quarter.
00:39:42Yeah.
00:39:42Y'all down by two.
00:39:43Yeah.
00:39:43Like my man Tyrese Halliburton saying.
00:39:46Don't choke.
00:39:47No, sir.
00:39:47Tomorrow night, you're going against the day ones.
00:39:50Yeah.
00:39:50You're going against the best damn tag team in the game.
00:39:52Yeah.
00:39:53Tomorrow night.
00:39:53Hey, tomorrow night, we lock it down like 49er defense.
00:39:57Yeah.
00:39:57Welcome to the Usos.

00:41:40Remember, the first woman to gain pinfall or submission will become the WWE Women's Champion.
00:41:47Well, I'm not quite sure I want to revisit this, the way that we kicked off Friday night SmackDown tonight.

00:49:38shown here and showcased here hey he's covered can he win the title sammy's forced to kick out at two
00:49:45i want you to watch the moves that carmelo does the way he does them sometimes you don't watch the
00:49:50way a wrestler watches another wrestler like no i don't because i don't i don't wrestle and i see
00:49:55the intricacies i see the little things that that a superstar needs to be to make it to that next
00:50:00level and he has it going up against a sammy zane and beating a sammy zane will allow that see what

00:54:19the challenger carmelo hayes i knew it was gonna be and you know what the interesting
00:54:23part about an open challenge is usually you don't get time carmelo hayes allowed

01:02:44What a night for general manager Nick Alderson.
01:02:48Still to come, Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre will be in the same ring
01:02:54at the same time to sign the contract for their huge match at Wrestlepalooza
01:02:59tomorrow night.
01:03:01That's still to come live on SmackDown.
01:03:03And coming up next, we'll take a look at the next part in our series.
01:03:08The history of John Cena and Brock Lesnar.
01:03:19As Ernest Hemingway once said, courage is grace under pressure.
01:03:24No WWE superstar epitomizes that phrase more than John Cena.
01:03:38Oh, here he comes!
01:03:39He's got him!
01:03:41John Cena is the champion!
01:03:45A powerhouse of spirit and skill.
01:03:50No, you've got to be kidding me!
01:03:53He's a natural-born entertainer.
01:03:57And that right there is the WWE champion John Cena.
01:04:01Big match, John.
01:04:03You've done it again.
01:04:04A leader in both action and deed.
01:04:15Breaking out of the ruthless aggression era,
01:04:17the WWE had to come his stage
01:04:19as John Cena transformed
01:04:21into one of the most recognizable personalities in the world.
01:04:25Please welcome John Cena!
01:04:29John Cena!
01:04:30You want some?
01:04:34Come!
01:04:36Get some!
01:04:37Get some!
01:04:42After abruptly leaving the WWE,
01:04:45Brock Lesnar embraced his true calling,
01:04:48that of a combat athlete.
01:04:51And it is all over!
01:04:54Trading the ring for the octagon.
01:04:57It's a big shot.
01:04:58He's got my back.
01:05:00Between his imposing stature,
01:05:03intense speed,
01:05:04and freak athleticism,
01:05:05Brock became one of UFC's biggest draws.
01:05:10And much like his meteoric rise in WWE,
01:05:14Lesnar would again shock the world
01:05:16as he captured the UFC heavyweight championship
01:05:19in just his third bout.
01:05:25And...
01:05:26No!
01:05:28He's right.
01:05:31After dominating the world of MMA,
01:05:34Brock would become one of the most feared men on the planet
01:05:37with unfinished business.
01:05:39Oh my!
01:05:49Brock Lesnar!
01:05:52The former WWE champion!
01:05:55Not what John Cena wanted,
01:05:58but that's what he's getting.
01:06:02The F5!
01:06:04After an eight-year hiatus,
01:06:07the 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.
01:06:19And the only reason John was in the spot that he was in
01:06:22is because I left.
01:06:24If you're sick of me, that's one thing.
01:06:26But to say that this industry isn't filled with
01:06:28legitimate talent
01:06:30that's just being ignorant.
01:06:33And in one of the most brutal matches in WWE history,
01:06:37the two men waged war at Extreme Rules.
01:06:41Never before in my career in WWE
01:06:43WWE have eyewitnessed a matchup as punishing,
01:06:48as torturous,
01:06:50as vicious.
01:06:55But John Cena,
01:06:57against all odds,
01:06:58pulls it out.
01:07:00Overcoming unimaginable odds,
01:07:02John Cena would find a way to prevail,
01:07:05earning his first-ever victory
01:07:07over the Beast Incarnate.
01:07:13Over the next two years,
01:07:16Cena and Lesnar led the charge
01:07:18as the standard bearers of WWE.
01:07:21John Cena is going to Wrestlemania!
01:07:26John Cena is an 11-time WWE champion!
01:07:32Conquering legends
01:07:33and adding to their Hall of Fame resumes.
01:07:40The streak is over!
01:07:44With both superstars
01:07:46in the prime of their careers,
01:07:48they were poised to clash yet again.
01:07:51This time at SummerSlam 2014
01:07:53for the undisputed WWE Championship.
01:07:57And as the anticipation swelled
01:07:59in a sold-out arena in L.A.,
01:08:01no one could possibly predict
01:08:04what would transpire that night.
01:08:06Guys, we're about 30 seconds into this match
01:08:14and it's almost over!
01:08:16It's a merciless assault!
01:08:17An absolutely dominating performance!
01:08:22It's the greatest thing that I've ever accomplished.
01:08:26In my mind, I came back to this company
01:08:29with one goal in mind,
01:08:31and that was to become
01:08:33the WWE Heavyweight Champion of the world.
01:08:37In the single most dominant championship
01:08:41fountain history,
01:08:42the man many believed to be invincible
01:08:45was, in fact,
01:08:47a mere mortal.
01:08:49Lesnar was not only champion,
01:08:51but the undisputed alpha of WWE.
01:08:54Tomorrow, hours before WrestlePalooza,
01:09:01we preview Lesnar and Cena's final battle.
01:09:07He's on some retirement escapade,
01:09:11this staged retirement party.
01:09:14And I'm about to f*** that up.
01:09:19I'll never forget SummerSlam 2014
01:09:22and the dominant performance,
01:09:24it's one of the most uncomfortable matches
01:09:26that I've ever had to call in my career
01:09:27between Lesnar and Cena.
01:09:29And after what we saw Brock Lesnar do
01:09:31earlier tonight,
01:09:32I fear tomorrow could possibly be the same.
01:09:36It's Cena, Brock Lesnar,
01:09:38kicking off WrestlePalooza
01:09:41live on the ESPN app
01:09:43from Indianapolis.

01:09:48and my wife and myself
01:09:49will be looking forward to this one,
01:09:51a mixed tag team match.

01:09:56versus the World Heavyweight Champion,
01:09:58Seth freaking Rollins,

01:10:23If that's not enough,
01:10:25oh, baby,
01:10:27the Women's World Championship match.
01:10:30Io Sky,
01:10:31the champion,
01:10:32versus Stephanie Valcure.
01:10:34They are going to put on
01:10:36an absolute display
01:10:38of athleticism
01:10:39and determination
01:10:40for the Women's World Championship.
01:10:44Well, these two men
01:10:45are long-time friends,
01:10:46or were long-time friends.
01:10:48They're also former
01:10:49tag team champions together,
01:10:51but, man,
01:10:52things have changed.
01:10:53And coming up tomorrow night,
01:10:55Cody Rhodes,
01:10:56the undisputed WWE Champion,
01:10:59will put the gold on the line
01:11:00against a very angry
01:11:01and a very hungry
01:11:03Scottish warrior,
01:11:05Drew McIntyre.
01:11:06It happens at 7 Eastern,
01:11:084 Pacific,
01:11:09live from Indianapolis.
01:11:11It is WrestlePalooza.
01:11:12The first time
01:11:13a WWE Premium Live event
01:11:15will stream live
01:11:17on the ESPN app.
01:11:20Let's take you back
01:11:21to last week
01:11:22on Friday Night SmackDown.
01:11:23Great main event, Miz.
01:11:24This is Orton versus McIntyre.
01:11:26Randy Orton looks like
01:11:27he was going to go for the punt.
01:11:29And Drew McIntyre,
01:11:30well, he would take advantage.
01:11:34McIntyre with a claymore,
01:11:36wiping out Randy Orton
01:11:38and picking up the win.
01:11:42And what did McIntyre want to do?
01:11:43Well, he wanted to injure Randy Orton
01:11:46and do much of the same to Orton
01:11:48that he did to Cody Rhodes
01:11:50a few weeks prior
01:11:52before Cody returned.
01:11:57Drew McIntyre!
01:11:59I'll see you, my friend,
01:12:01at WrestlePalooza!
01:12:05Miz, this thing has become
01:12:07so personal between these two.
01:12:10When Drew McIntyre
01:12:12is determined,
01:12:13nothing,
01:12:14and I mean nothing,
01:12:15can stop him.
01:12:16And I gotta tell you,
01:12:18the American Nightmare,
01:12:19Cody Rhodes,
01:12:20taking on Drew McIntyre,
01:12:22I cannot wait to see what's up next.
01:12:25They signed a contract on SmackDown.
01:12:30Well, ladies and gentlemen,
01:12:32WrestlePalooza.
01:12:33Tomorrow night is presented by Xfinity,
01:12:36the smartest Wi-Fi made from streaming WWE.
01:12:40Xfinity, imagine that.
01:12:42You're the only loyal soldier
01:12:58that I have left.
01:13:00You've been with me
01:13:03from the start of the bloodline,
01:13:05and you've never
01:13:06betrayed me.
01:13:11Tell the Lord,
01:13:12you've shown me love,
01:13:18and you've sacrificed
01:13:20your body for God.
01:13:23You're the son
01:13:25of Haku,
01:13:27the most dangerous man

01:20:01I don't know.
01:20:03I don't know.
01:20:05And I think you know why.
01:20:07The world doesn't revolve around you.
01:20:09It doesn't revolve around me.
01:20:11Your story, my story, it's not.
01:20:13It's their story.
01:20:15No, it's simple.
01:20:19They don't need to know all the lore.
01:20:21Sometimes they pay their hard-earned money and they just want to watch two guys, two of the best, fight.
01:20:31I understand who 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.
01:20:53But lately, the Scottish Warrior has just been a keyboard warrior.
01:21:04And you know it.
01:21:06So go ahead.
01:21:07I know you have it on you.
01:21:09Pull your phone out.
01:21:10Skin that smoke wagon.
01:21:12Go ahead.
01:21:13Let's get viral.
01:21:14Make a post on social media.
01:21:17Get one over on me.
01:21:19Make sure that you, who's always bitching and moaning and whining, give it all to me right now.
01:21:26Because it's the last time you'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?
01:21:33What's that supposed to mean?
01:21:43It means exactly what it says, thank you, Cody.
01:21:50All I've wanted was a legitimate shot of the WWE Championship.
01:21:57No outside interference, nobody's screwing me over and
01:22:01you're not gonna let that happen.
01:22:03Cuz you're the ultimate company guy, you're a fighting champion.
01:22:07And you honestly, you don't really think for yourself anymore, do you?
01:22:11You always think about the bigger picture, what's best for the company,
01:22:16the stock prices, the sponsors, your name and the marquee.
01:22:22You're the corporate champion.
01:22:26That used to be a bad thing.
01:22:28I mean, I kicked your head through an announce table, Cody.
01:22:31We're out for five weeks.
01:22:33Instead of stomping my brains in like I would do to you,
01:22:36you're talking me to death.
01:22:41And I understand, you could put personal issues aside.
01:22:46You're not willing to jeopardize the main event of Wrestle Palooza tomorrow.
01:22:52I was in your chair five years ago, I get it.
01:22:55But here's a reality check.
01:22:57They're gonna turn on you.
01:22:59They're gonna move on to the next flavor of the month.
01:23:03And you're gonna be sitting in my chair telling yourself, my God.
01:23:08Drew was right.
01:23:12Okay, say you're right.
01:23:19Then tomorrow night Wrestle Palooza is a great night for you.
01:23:23And say you're wrong, then 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 who lost to me at our debut ESPN PLE for
01:23:41the WWE Undisputed Championship Well, it's official.
01:23:57And McIntyre with a cheap shot, the Glasgow Kiss headbutt to Cody Rhodes.
01:24:09Cody stumbling out of the ring and McIntyre now.
01:24:13We're gonna have the last lap, last lap, the last floor tonight, Miz.
01:24:18And the brawl's on the way.
01:24:20Here we go, whoa.
01:24:21Oh, here we go.
01:24:25Rhodes bounced off me now.
01:24:26Here we go.
01:24:26McIntyre's gonna do what he did to Rhodes five weeks ago.
01:24:29What's he waiting for?
01:24:38I'm not gonna kick your head through the announce table again.
01:24:46This match is happening tomorrow.
01:24:48And I'm taking the one thing that means the most to you, that WWE Championship.
01:24:55The answer to your question, Miz, McIntyre wants to have Cody Rhodes ready to go
01:25:02so he can take the title tomorrow night at Wrestle Palooza.
01:25:08I ain't gonna screw it up for myself.
01:25:10Most guys.
01:25:11Oh, here we go.
01:25:15Wait a minute, Cody Rhodes back into the ring.
01:25:17Cody Rhodes!
01:25:18Oh!
