00:00Scott, this is going to be a fight.
00:05A fight to the finish.
00:08Look at me.
00:11Let us fight.
00:19Well, Triple H couldn't have made it any clearer.
00:22Let us fight later on tonight.
00:23Now, Shawn Michaels will not be in Triple H's corner tonight
00:26because his arm was broken by Brock Lesnar this past 29th on Raw,
00:30but Shawn has been tweeting all night long.
00:32We can show you one of his latest tweets right now.
00:34Look at this.
00:35Basically, I don't want to seem insensitive to Brock,
00:38is what Shawn is saying,
00:39but I'm hoping that bad things happen to bad people here tonight.
00:43Boy, I'm telling you.
00:45Brock Lesnar, though, he's going to have something to say about that himself,
00:48and it's not going to be via tweet.
00:49It's going to be in person.
00:50The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall,
00:57and it is for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
01:01Introducing the challengers,
01:03a combined weight of 509 pounds,
01:06Daring Young, Titus O'Neil,
01:09the Prime Time Player.
01:12Now, the men who beat Primo and Epico
01:14to become the number one contenders
01:16with a huge opportunity here tonight
01:18at SummerSlam.
01:19It's about the millions and billions of dollars.
01:24Well, ladies and gentlemen,
01:25last week, Kofi Kingston was overseas,
01:27part of the tour of the Far East in Shanghai, China.
01:30Very successful tour.
01:31Meanwhile, his partner, R-Truth,
01:33was in Dallas for Monday Night Raw,
01:35taking out Heath Slater and beating Heath Slater
01:37in a one-on-one matchup,
01:39but the Prime Time players would take advantage
01:41over the fact that R-Truth's buddy, Kofi,
01:44wasn't in the house.
01:45Yeah, R-Truth's celebration didn't last very long.
01:47He was attacked and double-teamed
01:49by the Prime Time players,
01:50and it was not a pretty sight.
01:57Oh, man, the Prime Time players
01:59would tout about their success.
02:01Kofi, where were you?
02:03You missed it.
02:04Oh, but don't worry.
02:06We'll be there live and in color
02:08at SummerSlam
02:09for those WWE Tag Team Championships.
02:12Millions of dollars.
02:16And I believe Titus and Darren Young are ready
02:19to become Tag Team Champions here tonight.
02:21And they're the WWE Tag Team Champions.
02:37And their opponents,
02:40at a combined weight of 432 pounds,
02:43they are the WWE Tag Team Champions,
02:46R-Truth and Kofi Kingdance!
02:50Now, Trotha Kingdance won the Tag Team Titles back on April 30th.
02:55They held the title 112 days now.
02:58And R-Truth obviously with his game face on here tonight
03:02after the assault by the primetime players last Monday night.
03:06R-Truth got a score to settle.
03:08Now it's two on two as opposed to one on two.
03:12So, we'll see if all the touting and smack talking that the primetime players have done,
03:19we'll see if they can back it up tonight.
03:21Well, Darren Young and Titus O'Neil have some momentum on their side.
03:25They've defeated Kofi Kingston and R-Truth in individual matches a couple of weeks ago.
03:30And it'll be Truth starting things off with Darren Young and R-Truth, as we mentioned, game face on.
03:35All business in the early going.
03:37And Darren Young looking to create some separation doesn't work,
03:42as R-Truth would love to put these guys away early.
03:46Whoa, big right hand by R-Truth.
03:49And the veteran Truth has got Darren Young off balance,
03:57nearly going to this tag team matchup.
03:59Very unorthodox, R-Truth to say the least.
04:08Jive into the ring as he delivers that big leg drop to the nose of Darren.
04:12Moose to put Young away.
04:13Two count to kick out.
04:14Tag team titles up for grabs here at SummerSlam.
04:17Here Darren Young backing Truth into his corner, and here comes the big man.
04:29This is not the place that R-Truth wants to be, and he knows it.
04:31Yeah, but look at Truth fighting out of that corner right away.
04:34Oh, but again, the power takes over.
04:36Well, they look just like that.
04:38Cover by Titus.
04:41What did he just say?
04:43That's his, like, his rallying cry.
04:46It's a Gator Barker.
04:47He went to the University of Florida.
04:49He played for the Gators football team under Steve Spurrier.
04:53And hence, he brings the Gator Barker to the WWE ring.
04:56Don't take it easy, this is R-Truth.
05:00Titus goes 6'6".
05:01He's 270 pounds.
05:02An impressive physical specimen.
05:04Very, uh, very improved since his days on our show NXT here.
05:09What?
05:10What?
05:11What?
05:12Yeah, this is one of those guys, Titus O'Neil, that you just watch him.
05:16And every time you see him in the ring, he gets better and better.
05:19Get up!
05:20Come on!
05:21R-Truth, the veteran, though, realizes he's got to make a tag to his partner, Kofi Kingston.
05:25And if Kofi gets in, you'll see the pace of this matchup quicken.
05:28Well, here it is.
05:29You're about to see it.
05:30Kofi off that top rope.
05:33Look at Kofi go.
05:35Three-time Intercontinental Champion.
05:38Twice a U.S. champ.
05:39Oh!
05:40Lighting up Titus O'Neil, but so far, he's gonna take him off his feet.
05:43There goes the big man.
05:44Yeah, tremendous leaping ability.
05:45Allows Kofi Kingston get so much power behind those blows.
05:48Kofi again!
05:49Boom!
05:50Boom!
05:51Boom!
05:52Boom!
05:53Boom!
05:54Boom!
05:55Boom!
05:56Boom!
05:57Boom!
05:58Boom!
05:59Boom!
06:00Boom!
06:01Boom!
06:02And Darren Young,
06:05creates a distraction and it allows his partner Titus O'Neil to roll out of harm's way.
06:09See those are the little things that the primetime players are learning.
06:16Boom!
06:17Get out of here!
06:18And again, Numbers Game catches up to Kofi.
06:19Ooh.
06:20Gotta get back inside!
06:21Devastating clothesline from Titus O'Neil on the floor.
06:27And Truth trying to come around and help his partner out
06:30with the referee getting him back to his corner.
06:33And allows the assault to continue in Kingston.
06:37And again, Titus hook of the leg here.
06:39Kofi in a kick out.
06:40Again, those little things like the distraction by Darren Young,
06:44the improvement of the prime time players.
06:46Kofi able to duck that first clothesline,
06:48but he wasn't able to duck this.
06:49And the numbers game, catching up to Kingston.
06:53Kofi trying to fight back, but Titus O'Neil too big, too strong.
06:56Oh, man.
06:59And again, cover, the leg, and a kick out.
07:05Put him down.
07:09Tag, Darren Young is.
07:11You gotta get out, let's go.
07:13Let's go, Titus, try to get out.
07:16Double T by the prime time players.
07:19Darren Young, now the legal man, get off the tag.
07:22Here's the cover, hook of the leg, two count, and a kick out.
07:26I think we had some little Jimmy chants going there from our WWE Universe for a moment.
07:32But ordinarily Kofi Kingston and R-Truth out here with their, as you say, imaginary pal, Little Jimmy.
07:41You don't think he's imaginary?
07:43Right, R-Truth, all business.
07:45Well, he's fine, you gotta admit.
07:48He's not even a person.
07:51Oh, Kofi, great reversal.
07:54Cover here as he hooks the leg.
07:57Little Jimmy has parents, obviously.
08:03Darren, cover, hook of the leg, and again, two count, got to go.
08:07Kofi managing to kick out, but it may be just a matter of time before the prime time players put this one away.
08:13Right there, right there, right there.
08:15You gotta get out, let's go.
08:17Get out, you gotta go.
08:19You look at this team, the prime time players, Kate, almost a perfect tag team, power, strength, speed.
08:27I know one thing, Titus O'Neil is just- Look at that, tight, huge guy, look at it.
08:34I was just about to talk about standing next to this guy earlier, his wingspan is unbelievable.
08:40His hands are just huge.
08:42Yeah, but did you notice the quickness of Titus there?
08:44He's able to go behind Kofi and immediately put it into the abdominal stretch.
08:48And now Darren just pep-talking Titus.
08:54I mean, that's what I'm talking about with Titus O'Neil.
08:56The guy has all the physical attributes, he's an amazing physical specimen.
09:00And every time he's in the ring, he gets a little better and a little better.
09:02There's no stopping, there's no telling how good this guy can eventually be here in the WWE.
09:07Again, there's the power of Titus.
09:09Man, Kofi counters.
09:11Did you see the head of Titus O'Neil get planted?
09:14One, two, three, go!
09:16And Troop trying to get the WWE fans into this matchup.
09:19Crucial time for both teams.
09:21I don't know how Titus O'Neil's getting to his feet.
09:24Well, maybe he's not.
09:25Here comes Darren, and here comes Truth.
09:31And the tag team champions are rolling.
09:34Oh, big right hand by R-Truth.
09:37R-Truth, like a top spinning through the air.
09:44Uh-oh.
09:46A little exclamation point there from R-Truth.
09:48No doubt Truth likes to have fun, Darren Young in trouble.
09:51Again, this time, Titus gonna save the match for his team.
09:55No.
09:57And Kofi tried to come in and help, and he was unceremoniously.
10:02Look at Kofi, though.
10:03Look at Kofi's strength.
10:04Kofi kicks the skin in the can as well.
10:06And there goes Titus.
10:08Incoming!
10:10Wow, what a cross body.
10:12That may have taken something out of Kofi as well.
10:14And look at this, look at this, Darren from behind.
10:19No champs, no champs, no champs, no champs.
10:21Did he get him?
10:22Oh, no, too.
10:23And Darren Young, Kofi fighting out of it.
10:29R-Truth.
10:30Did he get him?
10:32Cover.
10:33One, two, three.
10:35Yes!
10:35Kofi could probably retain the tag title.
10:37Here are your winners and
10:41the WWE Tag Team Champions, R-Truth and Kofi Instant.
10:47And it's a shame, what a shame, you lose a lie.
10:51You are good, good, good, good, good time.
10:55I'm gonna tell you, Cole, I had my doubts.
11:00I thought it was time for the primetime players.
11:05But somehow, Kofi Kingston and R-Truth survived it.
11:09Still Tag Team Champions.
11:14If you don't think Kofi Kingston can fly, just look at that.
11:17For real.
11:19That took, well that took Titus out of the match, but it took Kofi out as well.
11:24It left it to R-Truth.
11:27And he had a, he had a movement still.
11:29Oh, right there.
11:32Beautiful.
11:34Go ahead and say it.
11:36What?
11:37Little Jimmy's happy.
11:38Little Jimmy is very, very happy.
11:41Look at him celebrating.
11:44Look at who's celebrating.
11:45Little Jimmy and Kofi and R-Truth.
11:47Well, of course, this is the 25th anniversary of SummerSlam.
11:54The biggest event of the summer.
11:58It is the culmination of a week of spectacular activities here in Hollywood.
12:09WWE is taking over L.A. Live for SummerSlam access.
