00:02:20have
00:02:22Oh, my God.
00:02:52Tonight, professional wrestling destroyed sports entertainment.
00:03:22Oh, my God.
00:03:52I'm going to call this server, y'all, guys.
00:04:18Good evening, everybody.
00:04:20Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett as we welcome you.
00:04:22And we'll take a look at the explosive altercation that took place at Drew McIntyre's home this past week later on tonight.
00:04:51And look who is here.
00:04:55The undisputed WWE champion, Cody Rhodes, has arrived to SmackDown.
00:05:02Cody has plenty to be fired up about over Drew McIntyre.
00:05:06We will hear from Cody at hand.
00:05:08Plus, the WWE Tag Team Championship match is coming your way.
00:05:14Solo Sokoa, he has put the champs on notice.
00:05:18He says his MFTs are ready to show the world how to capture gold.
00:05:22The Wyatt Six, the target.
00:05:23Joyinho's team swoop.
00:05:25Here we will beども out of there.
00:05:28There is a M shortly in a couple in the 50s on Cesan Pac-Ren the Cport as we go.
00:05:31See you.
00:05:32There we go.
00:05:34Let's go.
00:05:36I look.
00:05:36Let's go.
00:05:36Here we go.
00:05:37For a while.
00:05:38I look.
00:05:39Let's go.
00:05:40Let's go.
00:05:41Oh, my God.
00:06:11Oh, my God.
00:06:42Yeah, this was the main event of SmackDown last week.
00:06:46A very bad-tempered mixed tag team match.
00:06:49Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest reminding the entire world why they are known as the Terror Twins.
00:06:58With this Double Razor's Edge connected on their opponents, followed up with a Riptide from Rhea Bloody Ripley for a major victory against their longtime rivals.
00:07:12I'm going to play down that Riptide with Zelina up nearly over her head to deliver that.
00:07:23I think too many pop people would change places with Zelina and Aleister Black during that matchup.
00:07:31But let's see what's coming next for the Punisher himself, Damian Priest.
00:07:35Hershey, Pennsylvania.
00:07:45It's nice to hear that energy because I know the last few days weren't easy.
00:07:52Saturday night's main event, we were forced to say goodbye to the career of John Cena.
00:07:58I can't tell you how much I agree with that emotion.
00:08:05I really do.
00:08:07But I think I can speak for all of us.
00:08:09When I say to someone who inspired so many.
00:08:13When I say to the man, without a shadow of a doubt, he is the greatest of all time.
00:08:25We say, thank you, Cena.
00:08:28Thank you, Cena.
00:08:31Thank you, Cena.
00:08:34Thank you, Cena.
00:08:37Thank you, Cena.
00:08:40Thank you, Cena.
00:08:43Thank you, Cena.
00:08:46I feel that.
00:08:48Thank you for that.
00:08:49Now, let's talk about some good times.
00:08:54Good times like last Friday night, SmackDown, when Zelina and Aleister got their asses dropped by the Terror Twins.
00:09:07Yeah, that business has been handled.
00:09:09So now, we can look to 2026.
00:09:13And in 2026, I'm-
00:09:16Oh, Damien.
00:09:21You are such a hypocrite.
00:09:27You really think that getting your mommy to fight your battles for you makes you a real man?
00:09:39Newsflash, you didn't even get the pin.
00:09:43And you call that salvation?
00:09:45You just can't stand the fact that Alistair broke you.
00:09:54You made your decision.
00:09:56And now, you have to live with ours.
00:10:00Or, more importantly, his.
00:10:04Oh, Aleister Black was behind Damien Priest and he's beating him down.
00:10:19What a sneak attack.
00:10:20Aided and abetted by Zelina by the Punisher, Damien Priest fighting back.
00:10:27Fighting for his life at this point.
00:10:29Massive right hand delivered by Priest.
00:10:32Just where Damien Priest thought he put this to bed with Alistair Black and Zelina.
00:10:37They are back with a vengeance, but things have backfired.
00:10:41Just like last week.
00:10:41No, he's able to reverse onto the attempt for the Razor's Edge.
00:10:45Oh, big knee from Black.
00:10:47Muay Thai strikes of Alistair Black coming to the fort once again.
00:10:52This is one dangerous man, but caught in mid-air and driven south of heaven.
00:10:58Onto the apron, south of heaven.
00:11:07Oh, Priest.
00:11:10Reaching under the ring.
00:11:14This crowd's going to explode.
00:11:18Nothing more they want to see than that.
00:11:21Damien Priest apparently looking to finish the Alistair Black problem off for good.
00:11:26And this might be one way to do it.
00:11:29Zelina looks hopelessly on.
00:11:33Oh, Black is back to his feet with a steel chair.
00:11:38Right across the back.
00:11:40Table just not cooperating with Damien Priest.
00:11:43Taking advantage briefly was Alistair Black.
00:11:48But here we go.
00:11:49No.
00:11:50Right into the post.
00:11:52Desperate struggle.
00:11:54These big kicks by Alistair Black.
00:11:56You know the damage they can do, Wade.
00:11:58Ground pass right to the temple of Damien Priest.
00:12:01There's still fights up from the death.
00:12:05Spinning back elbow from Black.
00:12:08Able to get out of that south of heaven attempt again.
00:12:10Now up on the apron.
00:12:12Absolute scramble this is.
00:12:13The double knees off the apron right through the table.
00:12:24The damage done.
00:12:28Black himself reaching for his leg as Damien Priest threw the table.
00:12:36Think of that left Alistair Black in pain.
00:12:39Just imagine what it did to Damien Priest who got jumped tonight by Alistair Black and Zelina.
00:12:46Now let's go backstage to the Byron Saxon.
00:12:50This is your one moment to do.
00:12:52Joe, Wade, thank you so much.
00:12:54I'm standing by with the pairing of Lash Legend and Nia Jax.
00:12:57Lash, I do want to start with you and deliver you your flowers and congratulate you on the upset victory over Alec.
00:13:04Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:13:04Skirt, what are you talking about?
00:13:06Upset Byron?
00:13:08She clearly beat Alexibus Handily.
00:13:10Tell him, Lash.
00:13:11Exactly.
00:13:12And no matter how great little Lexi is, she didn't stand a chance against me.
00:13:18Because I was whipping her little tail all up and down that ring.
00:13:21Because that's what the bougie bully does.
00:13:23And now that we're done with Lexi and Charlotte, we're moving on.
00:13:27And once we annihilate the Kabuki Warriors, we are going to slide into that tag team championship match and become the new tag team champions.
00:13:36I should point out that Rhea Ripley and Io Sky do have an upcoming tag team title opportunity.
00:13:41So you may have to.
00:13:43As you got to point out.
00:13:45You're so annoying, Byron.
00:13:47It doesn't matter who all of a sudden wants to become best friends.
00:13:50Those tag team titles are ours.
00:13:52Right.
00:13:53Forget Rio.
00:13:54Forget the Kabukis.
00:13:55Forget Sharlexa.
00:13:57It's about the irresistible force and the bougie bully now.
00:14:00And we're coming after those tag team titles.
00:14:02Uh.
00:14:06Lash and Nia giving wrapping paper.
00:14:11Lash and Nia's little helpers right there.
00:14:13Well, here's a couple of ladies who don't help anybody but themselves.
00:14:18No, they don't.
00:14:21The following is a tag team match.
00:14:25Pinnacle football.
00:14:26Introducing first, they are the women's tag team champions.
00:14:33Asuka and Kairi Zane, the Kabuki Warriors.
00:14:42The Kabuki Warriors against Nia Jax and Lash Legend when we return to Friday Night SmackDown.
00:14:54Let's get him out of here.
00:15:10All right, but I'll be fine now.
00:15:11No, no, no!
00:15:13Stay back!
00:15:15Stay away!
00:15:17Let him back go!
00:15:19Let him back go!
00:15:21Let him back!
00:15:23Get back!
00:15:25Get back!
00:15:27Get back!
00:15:29That's enough!
00:15:31I'll be showing you!
00:15:33No, no, no!
00:15:35Get back!
00:15:37Stay back.
00:15:39Stay back.
00:15:41It's time for you to end this, come on.
00:15:44Hey, let's go.
00:15:47Let's do it.
00:15:48You want that?
00:15:50Go, go, go.
00:15:53Get off of here.
00:16:01Hey, who's there?
00:16:02Get him out of here.
00:16:03Now the Kabuki Warriors, just a matter of days ago,
00:16:10an attack with Rhea and Io again tonight.
00:16:13A far different challenge.
00:16:15The size of perhaps the most intimidating new tag team in the division.
00:16:33And their opponents, the team of Lash Legend and Nia Chex.
00:16:50Instantly wait as dangerous of pairing as the women's division can have.
00:16:57Let's go back to last week.
00:16:59Yeah, this is SmackDown seven days ago.
00:17:02Lash Legend taking on Alexa Bliss.
00:17:05Alexa looking good.
00:17:06That was until Jax got involved, which triggered a huge brawl on the outside.
00:17:13With Charlotte Flair, who was then taken down by Lash Legend.
00:17:17The power of Lash Legend proving too much took over.
00:17:21And one Lash extension later, the new powerhouse on the block scored the biggest singles win of her career.
00:17:31Lash Legend, the former college and pro basketball star.
00:17:38She has been on a rocket ride of success and impressive outings in the ring.
00:17:43So here are the former teammates from Survivor Series War Games.
00:17:47Now opposite each other is everybody has eyes on those tag team championships.
00:17:54Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett filling in for Michael Cole and Corey Graves here on SmackDown.
00:18:04Craig didn't think not so long ago these four women teaming together inside of War Games.
00:18:11Now, of course, all bets are off.
00:18:15Clearly Lash Legend and Nia Jax have an eye for the gold that belongs to the Kabuki Warriors.
00:18:22Doing everything in their power to convince management to give themselves an opportunity at the gold.
00:18:29A victory here, of course, will do them a massive favor with that argument.
00:18:34Legend coming in looking for that big leg, but instead gets chopped down from behind by Kairi Sane.
00:18:40Well, that's smart of Kairi Sane. You simply cannot match power with someone like Lash Legend.
00:18:45You have to try and outmaneuver her and outmaneuvering her.
00:18:49Kairi Sane is at this point in the match.
00:18:51Now, here's what she does best. Off the top rope.
00:18:54Oh, but would you look at the strength and power of the former first-team All-SEC athlete.
00:19:02Sane able to reverse it. Legend trying to keep that body control.
00:19:07Brilliant. Wow.
00:19:09Oh, what a nice pivot there from Lash Legend.
00:19:12I'm trying to make no mistakes the second time around against Kairi Sane.
00:19:16Using power to advantage, but denied once again.
00:19:20The veteran wiles of Kairi Sane. Highly beneficial.
00:19:24Oh, my! Oh, my!
00:19:26There's just no competing with that kind of timing and power from Lash Legend.
00:19:33And with that tag, it does not get any easier.
00:19:36I mean, and then just dragging her into position for Nadia Jax to squash in the corner.
00:19:42Oh, and then Legend comes in as well.
00:19:46Completely dominant display this has been from these two superpowers.
00:19:51Shoulders down and Sane able to get out of position.
00:19:54You've got to remember Lash and Jax were instrumental in the Kabuki Warriors winning gold from Flair and Bliss in the first place several weeks ago causing chaos at ringside during that showdown.
00:20:07And clearly, Lash and Jax feel that owed a little something when it comes to that gold.
00:20:13And to earn that opportunity now, perhaps.
00:20:16The teamwork from Asuka and Kairi.
00:20:19Here's the lateral press cover from Asuka.
00:20:22And Nia easily dismisses and denies that.
00:20:25Yeah, taking the Kabuki Warriors lightly is a fool's errand in this game.
00:20:29One of the most dominant female tag teams in history.
00:20:33And this woman might be the greatest striker in women's combat history.
00:20:38The power of Nia Jax just not quite enough to stop Asuka in her stride.
00:20:43Oh!
00:20:44That changed everything.
00:20:46Did it ever.
00:20:47And was it effortless.
00:20:48Pop-up headbutt right to the sternum of the Empress of Tomorrow.
00:20:53Walks right into the big boot though.
00:20:54Opportunity for Asuka.
00:20:56Hailing that lung blower completely rocking Nia Jax.
00:21:00But Jax, of course, still on her feet.
00:21:03Might change now though.
00:21:05Double drop kick sends Nia Jax out of the ring.
00:21:10This one breaking down in a hurry.
00:21:12Lash Legend trying her best to do something here.
00:21:15Referee being incredibly lenient.
00:21:17Here comes Asuka.
00:21:19From an Empress impact to Kyrie Sane up top.
00:21:26Out to the floor.
00:21:28Are you kidding me?
00:21:30Takes them both out.
00:21:32Asuka and Kyrie Sane.
00:21:35Look at her fly.
00:21:37Back to action here.
00:21:38Asuka and Kyrie Sane against Lash Legend and Nia Jax.
00:21:50Let's take a look at what happened during the break.
00:21:53And this is what turned the match around a few moments ago.
00:21:56This tag that Kyrie Sane was not aware of to Lash Legend.
00:22:00Followed up by that pumpkin right to the jaw.
00:22:03Of the pirate princess.
00:22:05Who's not looked quite the same ever since.
00:22:07And now ready to drop that hammer.
00:22:09Is the Bougie Bully.
00:22:11And Lash Legend is just a cheat code.
00:22:18So big.
00:22:19So strong.
00:22:20So tough.
00:22:21There's only one weakness.
00:22:23And that's really the lack of experience at the very top level here.
00:22:26But guess what?
00:22:27You've got Nia Jax tagging with you.
00:22:29And all the veteran experience of Jax is now getting passed on to Lash Legend.
00:22:34Of course the early part of her athletic success was on the hardwood.
00:22:38She was a superstar at Texas A&M.
00:22:41SEC basketball.
00:22:42And then a first round draft pick into the WNBA.
00:22:45Before finding her home in WWE.
00:22:48And she's not going away.
00:22:50Some people are just too aggressive for a basketball court, Joe Tess.
00:22:55And those people, if they're tough enough, they'll make their way to WWE.
00:22:59And thank goodness Lash Legend has really found her spot here on SmackDown.
00:23:04She is explosive.
00:23:05She is tough.
00:23:06As Nia just dismisses Asuka from the apron.
00:23:10The eye for talent that Nia Jax has.
00:23:12She's not going to waste her time with people who simply won't cut it at this level.
00:23:16She's been studying Lash Legend's movements in NXT for the past couple of years.
00:23:21And picked the exact right spot to find a woman at home.
00:23:25They go for that double suplex again.
00:23:29And instead it's a double DDT by Kairi Sane.
00:23:33What an opportunity Wade.
00:23:35There it might be the issue with being so big and powerful.
00:23:37You get a little overconfident against those on the roster who can't match your power.
00:23:43But Kairi Sane pulling out a tag at the most vital moment.
00:23:47And in comes Asuka.
00:23:49Here she is.
00:23:51Missile drop kick for two.
00:23:53Asuka running in with that elbow.
00:23:57And getting out of the way as Legend smashes into Jax.
00:24:03Beautiful kicks from Asuka.
00:24:08As she revs that offensive engine.
00:24:10Denies the Samoan drop.
00:24:13And now the striking combination from one of the best to ever do it.
00:24:17It would seem Nia Jax and Lash Legend simply were not ready for Asuka.
00:24:22Oh! It is locked in!
00:24:24And somehow, some way, Nia Jax just powers her up.
00:24:36Trying to get out the back door.
00:24:37Oh!
00:24:38Missing.
00:24:39The drop is Jax.
00:24:41And instead Asuka delivers.
00:24:45And the save by Lash Legend.
00:24:47Incredible speed there from some of the sides of Lash Legend that it needed to be.
00:24:51But that spinning back elbow completely rocking the Bougie Bully.
00:25:01Got her up top.
00:25:03Powering the way out of it though is Lash Legend.
00:25:06And there is a shot to the jaw that changes the night of the Kabuki Warriors perhaps.
00:25:12Certainly Kairi Sane.
00:25:13I think Asuka might have to do it on a right now.
00:25:16Right into the post.
00:25:17Asuka trying to rally here as best she can.
00:25:22Effectively be two on one.
00:25:24There's only one Kabuki Warrior left standing.
00:25:27Although in the drop zone now is Nia Jax.
00:25:30Sensing it is Lash Legend.
00:25:32Lash Legend getting pulled back down to the floor by Kairi Sane.
00:25:37And now Nia Jax is going up top.
00:25:40Oh!
00:25:41This is gonna be ugly for Asuka.
00:25:44Or is it?
00:25:46Would you look at Asuka?
00:25:49Tag me!
00:25:50There's the tag.
00:25:54Delivering!
00:25:55And what a fun it was!
00:25:56Oh!
00:25:57Oh!
00:25:58These two are not legal.
00:25:59Oh!
00:26:00But the fight continues.
00:26:01It's now down to Kairi Sane to try and win this for her team.
00:26:05Off the apron.
00:26:06Does damage.
00:26:07I think Asuka caught a piece of that corner and steel steps away.
00:26:11Recklessly right onto Lash Legend.
00:26:14But it did the job.
00:26:15And now can Kairi Sane score the dub?
00:26:18He's looking for that insane elbow.
00:26:20Oh!
00:26:21But instead Nia meets her.
00:26:23Oh!
00:26:25Devastating chokeslam!
00:26:27And now dragging the carcass of Kairi Sane into what may well be the end!
00:26:33Looking for the annihilator and delivering!
00:26:35One!
00:26:36One!
00:26:37Two!
00:26:38Three!
00:26:39And just like that.
00:26:41Here are your winners!
00:26:43The team of Lash Legend and Nia!
00:26:47Nia!
00:26:48Jax!
00:26:49While the Tag Champs, the Kabuki Warriors have a date with Des-
00:26:54Oh!
00:26:55Wait a minute!
00:26:56Not the celebrations!
00:26:59Charlotte and Alexa!
00:27:03Heading straight to them!
00:27:05The former Tag Champs have got major issues with all four of the women who are out here
00:27:10now focusing on the winners!
00:27:12Jax and Lash Legend!
00:27:14Lash Legend!
00:27:15Look at Alexa!
00:27:16Taking it right to Lash Legend!
00:27:18A week ago you know exactly what happened when they met up!
00:27:21With a mass brawl and of course the reason!
00:27:24Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair no longer have the gold is in large part because of this
00:27:30QO they're now beating out of the ring!
00:27:32Look at the teamwork!
00:27:33The 14 time world champion putting Lash Legend right into that drop zone!
00:27:43Oh!
00:27:44But Nia Jax clears her!
00:27:46Saving Lash Legend from certain devastation!
00:27:50Issues between these four clearly not concluded!
00:27:53They want those in their hands for good again!
00:28:04As we go backstage to Jackie Redman!
00:28:08Yeah Tess thank you so much!
00:28:10It's already been quite an eventful start to Friday Night Smackdown!
00:28:14So without further ado!
00:28:15Please welcome my guest!
00:28:16Excuse me!
00:28:17Hi!
00:28:18Kiana James!
00:28:19I don't know who you think you are!
00:28:20But over here on Smackdown!
00:28:21If you want to address my client you have to go through me first!
00:28:25Okay!
00:28:26Okay!
00:28:27I'm sorry!
00:28:28I don't normally do this show!
00:28:29Can I please speak with your client Julia?
00:28:32You may!
00:28:33But don't make this mistake again!
00:28:35Okay!
00:28:36Please welcome my guest!
00:28:38Former Women's United States Champion Julia!
00:28:41Julia!
00:28:42Thanks for the time!
00:28:43You've made it aggressively clear that you want that Women's United States Championship
00:28:48back!
00:28:49But Chelsea Green is making life difficult!
00:28:51Making you go through Alba Fire in a match tonight!
00:28:54If you want to hide with the Women's US title!
00:28:57Okay!
00:28:58I will take out Alba Fire!
00:29:01Chelsea!
00:29:03Time is running out!
00:29:06Arrivederci!
00:29:07Matana!
00:29:08When we return, it has social media roaring with curiosity!
00:29:10Take a look at the explosive operation that took place at Drew McIntyre's home this
00:29:25past week!
00:29:26That's Nets!
00:29:27Pulled in D.C.
00:29:29Really questioning why I still came, but Cody wants you reinstated!
00:29:36We all want you reinstated!
00:29:38You're a top talent in WWE!
00:29:40Obviously!
00:29:41An integral part of SmackDown!
00:29:44So!
00:29:45I have a proposal!
00:29:47I think that you're gonna like the terms!
00:29:52You get a one-on-one match with WWE Champion Cody Rhodes!
00:29:57The title will be on the line!
00:30:00And, secondly, to show our officials and the WWE Universe that you've repented!
00:30:08I'd like a public apology to Dan Engler for that heinous attack!
00:30:13He's lucky he's not in intensive care!
00:30:18There's also a hefty fine!
00:30:20But, I think that your payday from Survivor Series War Games should just about cover that!
00:30:28So, those are the terms!
00:30:30Take it or leave it!
00:30:32I get my match!
00:30:35The WWE Championship!
00:30:37Yes!
00:30:38The thing I want more than anything!
00:30:42I've got no choice!
00:30:45No!
00:30:47Absolutely not!
00:30:50No!
00:30:51No!
00:30:52This is what Cody wants!
00:30:53This is what you want!
00:30:54You've created an unsafe working environment!
00:30:58I accept these terms!
00:31:00I'm just gonna get screwed again!
00:31:02So, no!
00:31:04I don't accept your terms!
00:31:06Instead of another monologue about all the ways you've been screwed, why don't you just tell me what you want?
00:31:11Okay!
00:31:12What I want was fair!
00:31:13Fair!
00:31:14That's it!
00:31:15If I come back, if I come back, I get my WWE Championship match with Cody Rhodes!
00:31:20That's deserved!
00:31:22I'm learning how much you're willing to protect your golden boy, but I want to pick the stipulation!
00:31:28I can live with that, okay?
00:31:30And last, but no means least, I want you to fly back to Stamford, Connecticut after we finish here!
00:31:38I want you to get your little lawyers together, and I want you to draw up some documents that say
00:31:43Cody Rhodes cannot lay one finger on me before that championship match, or he is stripped of the WWE Championship!
00:31:56You know, I really hate this, but...
00:32:01Get the match in the ring!
00:32:03Got a deal!
00:32:08Pleasure doing business with you, buddy!
00:32:13Come on, mate!
00:32:14How quick can I see those documents?
00:32:15How quick is it going to take to draw them up?
00:32:16Well, I have to tell Cody, and then I have to talk to the legal, but maybe by the end of the day!
00:32:25End of the day!
00:32:26Fantastic!
00:32:27Fantastic!
00:32:28I should never get out of here, though!
00:32:30What the hell is this?
00:32:31Oh, come on, man!
00:32:34You've gotta be kidding me!
00:32:37You've seriously gotta be kidding me!
00:32:39My house!
00:32:40My home!
00:32:41Really, Otis!
00:32:42You set me up like this!
00:32:43You come to talk business!
00:32:45You bring him to my house when the family sleeps!
00:32:47Hey, just stay there!
00:32:48I'll handle it!
00:32:49He's out there right now!
00:32:50I'll handle it!
00:32:51You just stay there!
00:32:52Handle it!
00:32:53Why are we negotiating with that?
00:32:57What are you doing?
00:32:58What's the diplomacy problem?
00:32:59Why are you here?
00:33:00You're ruining everything, Cody!
00:33:01What am I ruining you?
00:33:02Hey!
00:33:03You're seriously gonna show up and make that property!
00:33:04Hey!
00:33:05Hey!
00:33:06Hey!
00:33:07Hey!
00:33:08Hey!
00:33:09Hey!
00:33:10Hey!
00:33:11Hey!
00:33:12Hey!
00:33:13Hey!
00:33:14Hey!
00:33:15Hey!
00:33:16Hey!
00:33:17Hey!
00:33:18Hey!
00:33:19Hey!
00:33:20Hey!
00:33:21Hey!
00:33:22Hey!
00:33:23Hey!
00:33:46Nick, we just watched the footage from that uncomfortable altercation earlier on this week.
00:33:51What do you make of how deeply personal things have gotten between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes?
00:33:57Well, the whole thing's gotten out of hand sacks.
00:33:58I mean, I'm having legal letters.
00:34:00I'm hiring extra security.
00:34:01Ava's pissed off because her champion's big night got ruined.
00:34:03And on top of all that, SmackDown is still without one of its biggest stars.
00:34:06Yeah, Drew, I said it because while there's no love lost right now, I tell it like it is.
00:34:10And I have to tell it like it is when it comes to Cody because what he did was completely out of line.
00:34:16But a lot of that is out of my hands because it didn't happen at a WWE event.
00:34:19So it's up to local authorities what happens to Cody from here on out.
00:34:22But I do plan on meeting with Cody to discuss everything.
00:34:25And Drew has sent in some comments.
00:34:27Mr. Aldis.
00:34:30Do you know why everyone was shocked at Saturday night's main event?
00:34:34Because he who should not be named ruined it.
00:34:36And I want to match with him.
00:34:38Him?
00:34:39Oh, you mean Carmelo Hayes?
00:34:40No, not Carmelo.
00:34:41Well, you know, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Carmelo Hayes.
00:34:44But no, you know who I'm talking about.
00:34:46I'm just kidding.
00:34:46I know you mean Joe.
00:34:49Don't say his name.
00:34:51You crazy?
00:34:52But yes, that guy, I want to match next week on SmackDown.
00:34:57You know what, Miz?
00:34:57That's actually a good idea.
00:34:59Let me give Ava a call and hopefully if she's calmed down some, she'll see to it.
00:35:02But you know, in the meantime, you could always just say his name.
00:35:06I believe in Joe Pesci.
00:35:18Nick, he's just mad because I saw your British balls.
00:35:21The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:35:45And now, introducing first, accompanied by Kiyama Chase, from Tokyo, Japan, Julia!
00:35:54The recent U.S. champ, Julia, as talented and capable as anybody on the roster.
00:36:05Chelsea Green, she wants her hands on.
00:36:07But the next best thing is opposite her in moments.
00:36:11Alba Fire.
00:36:12That is next.
00:36:13Julia and Alba Fire on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:36:18For a former women's U.S. champ, Julia in the ring now, flanked by her official representative,
00:36:37Kiana James.
00:36:38Not so well with her that she lost the goal to Chelsea Green several weeks back.
00:36:44And clearly on a mission now to try and get back to said goal.
00:36:50But do you want to find a pathway to the U.S. champ, Chelsea Green?
00:36:54First things first, you've got to get past the secret, Hermes.
00:36:57And that is easier said than done.
00:36:59This is a Alba Fire who is a mean, nasty Scottish veteran.
00:37:06You know, I think it's interesting to see Julia's disposition here, Wade,
00:37:09because you always wonder when it's your first match since losing a championship.
00:37:14And that is the case here.
00:37:15And that's exactly what you could sense coming, just coming right out on the attack.
00:37:21Because this is her first match since November 7th,
00:37:24when she dropped the Women's United States Championship.
00:37:27She's very unhappy about how she lost that championship.
00:37:31Feels like she was screwed out of the title,
00:37:34which is a major chicanery from Chelsea Green and her cohorts.
00:37:39And it looks like payback is now being exacted on Alba Fire.
00:37:45Well, she has proven herself in spots like this.
00:37:47She has not lost back-to-back singles matches since being on the main roster
00:37:51when she joined the main roster earlier this year.
00:37:54And she has a certain time.
00:37:55She is coming out red hot here as Julia.
00:37:58Yeah, absolutely unglued.
00:38:00And of course, highly motivated by the screechings of Chelsea Green.
00:38:06Honestly, I forgot what it's like to call a match
00:38:09when she's anywhere either in the ring or outside the ring.
00:38:13And what it does to the eardrums.
00:38:14We need to get her on the desk.
00:38:16Never, please.
00:38:16Someone who talks some sense, please.
00:38:18Mute button only.
00:38:21Julia really needs to try her best to keep her focus on one person here.
00:38:26Try, if possible, to ignore Chelsea Green on the outside,
00:38:30as tough as that may be.
00:38:32Focus fully on Alba Fire.
00:38:33You've got the upper hand.
00:38:34You have to make it count.
00:38:36Well, that's tough.
00:38:36Let's see.
00:38:37That's exactly the problem.
00:38:39She keeps looking over that way.
00:38:40And with it, Alba Fire takes advantage.
00:38:43And those are the results of the problem.
00:38:45You simply cannot do that against someone the caliber of Alba Fire.
00:38:50Alba Fire is so skilled in her own right.
00:38:53There you go, DDT.
00:38:56Boy, look at the impact it had on Julia.
00:38:58One, two, three, four.
00:39:00We make a lot of talk about how Julia really was such a dominant champion
00:39:03in Japan before she headed over to the U.S.
00:39:07and got involved with NXT.
00:39:08And, of course, now SmackDown.
00:39:10The same could be said of Alba Fire, who was-
00:39:13Almost ripped a giant chunk out of the hair of Alba Fire there.
00:39:22Alba Fire completely reeling at this point.
00:39:24This is a highly enraged, beautiful madness.
00:39:27There's nothing beautiful about this,
00:39:29but there's certainly a ton of madness on display.
00:39:32Madness and fury.
00:39:34And this could be a short night for Alba Fire,
00:39:36but too much left in the tank.
00:39:38Able to get out of the way of that right hand.
00:39:40And now you see Julia getting a look, just stretching out Alba Fire.
00:39:44Nice abdominal stretch and agony etched all over the face of Alba Fire.
00:39:49Now compounding that damage.
00:39:52Those hammer elbows right into the pinning combination
00:39:54and then reversed this time by Alba Fire.
00:39:56Look at them going round and round.
00:39:59Shoulders are down.
00:40:00Two technical wizards in that ring going hold for hold,
00:40:04but completely rock now is Alba Fire.
00:40:06And if Julia can pick up the pace or pick up the punishment,
00:40:10a win could be imminent here.
00:40:13Of course, Chelsea Green is having to watch all of this go down.
00:40:18Fire able to escape.
00:40:21Delivers the kick.
00:40:23And arching back and falling is Julia.
00:40:26And this could be over right here.
00:40:27The lateral press put the kick out.
00:40:28Nice pin right across the shoulders of Julia.
00:40:31Just too much left in the tank of the beautiful madness.
00:40:34But for how much longer?
00:40:35Oh, perhaps going for the glory face buster, but reversed.
00:40:41Oh, Arrivederci.
00:40:44That Arrivederci knee, you know the damage it can do.
00:40:51Julia putting a little something extra into it.
00:40:56To end it right here.
00:40:59As she stares at Chelsea Green and doing it.
00:41:04Here is your winner, Julia.
00:41:09A physical message viscerally received by the United States champ Chelsea Green.
00:41:17Julia wants her goal back.
00:41:21Her first match since losing the Women's United States Championship.
00:41:26And statement made right in front of Chelsea Green.
00:41:31Oh.
00:41:33Green ends up on her backside, Wade.
00:41:36Don't help her up.
00:41:37Don't help her up.
00:41:38She's the first lady of professional wrestling, Joe.
00:41:40Be a gentleman.
00:41:41Cody Rhodes is making his way here.
00:41:49The American Nightmare joins us live.
00:41:53The Undisputed Champ.
00:41:54Listen closely, Solo.
00:42:10Your greed for status and power have led you down a dark path.
00:42:17The truth lies beneath the surface.
00:42:25And this image you portray is going to catapult your family into a whole new world.
00:42:34A world filled with adversity and abandonment.
00:42:44There will be nowhere for you to run.
00:42:49Solo, tonight you begin your journey.
00:42:54A journey that will force you and your family to surrender.
00:43:01No!
00:43:13Best thing best for you ever met.
00:43:17Royal thing.
00:43:48Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the undisputed WWE Champion.
00:44:18The Nightmare, Cody Rhodes!
00:44:23Wade, it has been a rollercoaster of a week for Cody Rhodes,
00:44:26and it all began with that match in Washington, D.C.
00:44:28against one of the next great ones, Obafemi.
00:44:31Yeah, Saturday night's main event, NXT champ, Obafemi,
00:44:34looking incredible against WWE champ, Cody Rhodes,
00:44:37but Cody showing us all, why he's QB1 in the industry.
00:44:41What a match this was until it was ruined by Drew McIntyre,
00:44:47attacking his arch rival until Obafemi got involved too.
00:44:53But Oba and Cody combined to drop the scum warrior.
00:44:58This is with Drew and Cody are clearly a long, long way from being over.
00:45:05Of course, all the emotion with John Cena's last match for Cody, too.
00:45:20What an incredible way he honors Cena.
00:45:22And carried that emotion even on to the post-show afterwards.
00:45:27Now, all the drama with Drew McIntyre.
00:45:30What about the home invasion?
00:45:32Oh, uncharacteristic, and I would say unbecoming,
00:45:36of a WWE Champion.
00:45:38I agree.
00:45:39And I question the mental state of Cody Rhodes right now.
00:45:42Clearly, Drew McIntyre firmly under the skin of the champ.
00:45:46That's how far this thing has gone.
00:45:48Yeah, I am the king of yours,
00:45:52but I am the king of yours.
00:45:59Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody.
00:46:09Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody
00:46:39that WWE currently is in unsafe working environment.
00:46:51That's all of you.
00:46:52He said that we collectively are in unsafe working environment.
00:47:03So Drew, you are surrounded by MMA stars,
00:47:06second-generation wrestlers, NIL, college, and pro athletes.
00:47:12What would be a safe environment for you?
00:47:15Staples?
00:47:18And besides, that little yard brawl was one-tenth of what should happen right here,
00:47:25right now, with me and Drew McIntyre in this very ring.
00:47:29Cody, I don't think you appreciate the situation you've got yourself into,
00:47:37or me, or the company, actually.
00:47:42See, Drew is claiming an unsafe work environment,
00:47:46and you and I know that that's a load of crap.
00:47:48But the problem is, is when you showed up at his house and started a brawl,
00:47:56you made his point for him.
00:47:58And to make things worse, I had to make a bad deal,
00:48:03because you made me look like a liar.
00:48:05So I'm telling you, this is your friend.
00:48:12Yes, you're the champ.
00:48:14QB won.
00:48:16But you're not above the law.
00:48:19And I can't help you with that one.
00:48:22Cody, you should have trusted me to get this thing over the finish line.
00:48:28But you didn't.
00:48:30So now, when Drew comes back,
00:48:34if he pays the fine and makes that public apology to Dan Engler,
00:48:40Cody,
00:48:41you can't lay a finger on Drew McIntyre.
00:48:51Or what?
00:48:53Nick, or what?
00:48:55Or I have to strip you of the WWE Championship.
00:49:09You want me to acquiesce to that demand and your demand?
00:49:13And I, okay, I can guarantee you that I will not touch Drew McIntyre.
00:49:21But, in the spirit of all these demands,
00:49:28I should ask you something.
00:49:31I feel like, Nick,
00:49:33I feel like you've forgotten who you're talking to.
00:49:38Right?
00:49:40Ask our mutual friend, Wade Barrett, right there,
00:49:44who you're talking to.
00:49:45Ask Marty on the camera who you're talking to.
00:49:48You should say my name, because you know it.
00:49:51I'm the one who sent a tweet that changed the game.
00:49:54I'm the one who came back here and won the Royal Rumble, not once, but twice.
00:49:58I am the reigning king of the ring.
00:50:00I unseated the tribal chief, Roman Reigns.
00:50:03And I even defeated the greatest of all time, John Cena, for this title.
00:50:09I'm QB1, damn it.
00:50:11And here you are saying that I'm not above the law as long as I have this title.
00:50:21I am the law.
00:50:26Mr. Aldis, my friend,
00:50:29your demand, his demand,
00:50:30remember one thing while I am holding this.
00:50:34I don't work for you.
00:50:35I work for them.
00:50:37And you, my friend,
00:50:45you work for me.
00:50:46Cody Rhodes is one bad, bad dude.
00:50:56Never forget that, Nick Aldis, QB1, and the WWE champ,
00:51:02the man who changed the game.
00:51:04Hey, listen, Melo.
00:51:13I'm not usually the type of person who settles for others.
00:51:16Like, being the United States champion,
00:51:18usually people come out and settle for me, but
00:51:20after what you did for me last week,
00:51:23I just wanted to say
00:51:24thank you.
00:51:27Really.
00:51:28Look, don't even mention it.
00:51:30All right, Tommaso screwed me out that championship,
00:51:31so I had to go and get it back in blood.
00:51:33The issue with Johnny Gargano,
00:51:34he just happened to be collateral.
00:51:36Plus, all that jumping people from behind,
00:51:38you know I don't play that.
00:51:39Nah, not anymore.
00:51:41Oh, not anymore.
00:51:42But listen, tonight,
00:51:44we fight DIY,
00:51:46and that ring,
00:51:47and tonight,
00:51:48we put them down.
00:51:51Hello, boys.
00:51:53Well,
00:51:54we just wanted to wish you good luck tonight,
00:51:56but do us a favor, okay?
00:51:58Save some for us.
00:51:59Yeah, we kind of wanted DIY ourselves,
00:52:01but
00:52:01I don't know,
00:52:02I guess you guys jumped the queue or something.
00:52:05What we're saying is that they stole my mask,
00:52:07and they need to pay for it.
00:52:09Oh, okay, okay, okay.
00:52:10Look,
00:52:10you're talking to the wrong two guys.
00:52:12We got our own backs,
00:52:13and
00:52:13we won't miss.
00:52:15Well,
00:52:16in case you guys do miss,
00:52:19we'll be there.
00:52:20Okay, listen, gentlemen.
00:52:22DIY asked for this battle,
00:52:24and if they ask for a battle,
00:52:26they will get a battle,
00:52:27and especially after last week,
00:52:28when Chumpa made me bleed,
00:52:30he is not just a jackass anymore.
00:52:33Now,
00:52:34he is
00:52:35my
00:52:36prey.
00:52:39So, let's go.
00:52:40Let's go.
00:52:42Suerte.
00:52:45What's that name?
00:52:46I love my prey.
00:52:47I love my prey.
00:52:50I love my prey.
00:52:54One, two, three, four.
00:52:58Let's go.
00:53:07One, two, three, four.
00:53:09The bubble is intact.

00:53:15It's introducing place,
00:53:16accompanied by
00:53:18Candice LeRae.
00:53:20The team of
00:53:21Jimmy Gargano
00:53:23and
00:53:24Tomasso
00:53:25Chumpa.
00:53:27D-I-Y.
00:53:31The two-time
00:53:32WWE Tag Team
00:53:34Champion.
00:53:38Ciampa and Gargano
00:53:39against
00:53:40Ilya Dragunov
00:53:41and
00:53:42Clevel Hayes
00:53:43coming your way down.
00:53:44The two-time
00:54:00You can't see me.
00:54:02My time is now.
00:54:03Now.
00:54:03You can't see me.
00:54:04My time is now.
00:54:05Now.
00:54:06It's the fresh eye.
00:54:07But I'm shining.
00:54:08Now.
00:54:08Now.
00:54:09You can't see me.
00:54:10My time is now.
00:54:11Ciampa and Gargano
00:54:15with Candice LeRae
00:54:17focused and ready
00:54:19for what should be
00:54:21a great match
00:54:22opposite opponents
00:54:23who definitely
00:54:24want a piece of them.
00:54:25long.
00:54:26And
00:54:38in the
00:54:38years
00:54:41Mitch
00:54:42and
00:54:44I'm
00:54:45I'm the greatest, ain't no hatin', I'm the best hit, you watch your shot, well I guess you wait till next year, I'm at the top, get respect while I get big, who got a problem, huh, tell them to step in, step in, step in, step in, yeah, cause I'm the greatest to walk you in the day, and their opponents, the team of, Kumailo Hayes, and the United States Champion, Ilya Dragunov.
00:55:15Well, the Mad Dragon weight has kept up the great standards of the US Championship, and being a fighting champion, but thank goodness, Kumailo Hayes was nearby a week ago.
00:55:24Yeah, this was last week on SmackDown, Ciampa taking on Ilya Dragunov for the United States Championship, a lot of extracurriculars on the outside, but it was an absolute war inside the ring with Ilya Dragunov, the champ, managing to pull out a win with this very quick pin,
00:55:45against Ciampa, but hold the celebrations, guys, because DIY were rather unhappy with the result, but thankfully for Dragunov, another victim of DIYs, came out to lend a hand in Carmelo Hayes, evening the odds, and this has led us to tonight.
00:56:03Oh, right to action, not wasting any time.
00:56:13A great hand after great hand from Carmelo Hayes, against Johnny Gargano.
00:56:17Well, Hayes and Dragunov just know this duo only too well, and were fully aware there was likely to be a cheap shot start.
00:56:25They were lying in wait, ready for it, and his backfire family now on DIY.
00:56:31What momentum that was created at that time, and now Dragunov comes in with a knee.
00:56:36It is non-stop against Ciampa.
00:56:40Dragunov, a man who doesn't normally like to team with other people, however, he gained a major appreciation for the abilities and the respect of Carmelo Hayes, a couple of weeks ago, in their United States Championship clash.
00:56:53I'll say this about Ilya Dragunov.
00:56:56He is perhaps the most fightingest of fighting champs I've ever seen, insisting he goes to war every single week.
00:57:05I love it. It has been awesome to watch what he has done with his title reign.
00:57:10We saw him against Ciampa recently.
00:57:15Ciampa who campaigned for weeks and weeks to get that opportunity, highly distraught that it went begging,
00:57:21thanks to the skills of Ilya Dragunov.
00:57:25He's now looking to take out some revenge this week, but it's not going well.
00:57:28No, it isn't.
00:57:34Hayes revving that engine and delivering with the leg drop.
00:57:38He hooks the leg in the cover and quickly Ciampa out of it.
00:57:42Of course, Carmelo Hayes did a hell of a job in his match against Ilya Dragunov.
00:57:45But close to winning the thing that was until involvement from Tommaso Ciampa, which Ilya Dragunov didn't actually see,
00:57:52but it helped Ilya Dragunov end up winning the match.
00:57:55Now, the aftermath of that, of course, Ilya was kind of disgusted that he won it in such a way.
00:58:01So maybe at some point, Carmelo Hayes and Dragunov will meet again.
00:58:05I know the world would love that, but for now, business to take care of in the form of DIY.
00:58:11Yeah, that was back on December 5th.
00:58:12And as you mentioned, it goes against the grain of everything he is.
00:58:16Hold on, hold on.
00:58:17As soon as our official's back was turned, Johnny Gargano up on the apron to tear him down.
00:58:24Oh, no!
00:58:29That is just a DIY way as the jaw of Ilya Dragunov may have just shattered against our desk.
00:58:41Pat yourself on the back, DIY.
00:58:43Wade in for Michael Cole and Corey Graves here on Friday night's SmackDown.
00:58:53A week ago, Tommaso Ciampa lost in the United States Championship match against Ilya Dragunov.
00:58:58Hope was attacked afterwards.
00:59:00Carmelo Hayes came to his aid.
00:59:02And now tag team action between these four former NXT champions, Wade.
00:59:06And it has been all DIY ever since Candice LeRae got involved.
00:59:15And they've been putting a stomping on Ilya Dragunov ever since.
00:59:20But Ilya Dragunov finally showing some signs of life.
00:59:24Is he ever?
00:59:26Constantine Special Dragunov.
00:59:29Does he have enough left in the tank to get this tag to a fresh Carmelo Hayes so Carmelo Hayes can show the world why he is him?
00:59:40Hayes is ready to explode.
00:59:42Here he comes after Gargano and delivers to Ciampa.
00:59:48What a shot.
00:59:49Backs him up to the ropes.
00:59:50Oh, man, oh, man, oh, man, springboard.
00:59:56Like a cat.
00:59:58Would you look at this from Hayes?
01:00:00La Mystica.
01:00:03I'm going to tell you something.
01:00:04The movement of Carmelo Hayes is just governed by a different set of rules to everyone else on Planet of My God.
01:00:11Yeah, there is no gravity.
01:00:13Sticks the landing, too.
01:00:15Meanwhile, the Mad Dragon.
01:00:19Massive senton off the top to put it away.
01:00:25That high-flying senton after everything Carmelo Hayes did.
01:00:31Check this action out.
01:00:32Carmelo Hayes taking that Ciampa and sticking the landing.
01:00:36And then this sky-high senton from the top rope right to the midsection of Gargano.
01:00:42Not quite enough to put away DIY, but you feel that it's getting closer.
01:00:49What an amazing powers of recovery here from the Mad Dragon shows exactly why he is an almost unbeatable United States champ at times.
01:00:59With a tag there.
01:01:00I don't think Gargano saw it.
01:01:02Hayes.
01:01:03Out of the way is Johnny.
01:01:06Oh, they got him in a compromised position in that corner.
01:01:09And a super kick.
01:01:10And now DIY gains some momentum.
01:01:13Do they ever?
01:01:14Right mistake there from Carmelo Hayes.
01:01:18Oh, nasty, nasty landing there.
01:01:21Project Ciampa.
01:01:22Off the Project Ciampa right into the cover.
01:01:24And meanwhile, the Mad Dragon saves it.
01:01:26That powerbomb onto the knees is something that Project Ciampa.
01:01:30Time and again, we've seen the success he has with it.
01:01:32It's a match with it, if not really a dragon up.
01:01:35And now this one's spilling out all over the place.
01:01:37Oh, right into the post.
01:01:38It's Ciampa and Hayes who are legal.
01:01:41And Ciampa now going in for the kill.
01:01:43He takes down that knee pad.
01:01:45But Carmelo Hayes, smart enough to see it coming.
01:01:54Oh, Candice LeRae.
01:01:56And LeRae in full behind the referee's back.
01:01:59And there's a KO blow to the temple.
01:02:02This could be over because of that.
01:02:04Hayes able to get the shoulder up.
01:02:08And Ciampa's in complete disbelief.
01:02:10With Dragunov down, Dragunov may be out.
01:02:14And now the double whammy.
01:02:16Marry tail ending right here.
01:02:21He survives it again.
01:02:23Talk about the toughness of Carmelo Hayes.
01:02:26That move has put so many away.
01:02:28But now I've got a feeling this might be the ending.
01:02:32Right in the middle.
01:02:34This will be over right here from DIY Wade.
01:02:38Slow down.
01:02:40Oh, no.
01:02:41Dragunov.
01:02:42How about at first 48?
01:02:45This one twisting back and forth.
01:02:48Such movement.
01:02:49So many swings.
01:02:51H-Bomb delivered.
01:02:53The Mad Dragon.
01:02:55But they're not done yet.
01:02:57Nothing but net as big as he could go.
01:03:06Here are your winners.
01:03:13The team of Carmelo Hayes.
01:03:17And the United States champion, Ilya Dragunov.
01:03:26Well, instant chemistry from these two victors against a veteran tag team have been together over 10 years.
01:03:34It needed a mind-blowing performance.
01:03:36And we got it.
01:03:37And glorious victory for Ilya Dragunov and Carmelo Hayes.
01:03:42Excuse me, Alexa, Charlotte, can I get a comment on why you guys attacked Nia Jax and Lash Legend earlier tonight?
01:03:53I mean, what message are you trying to send?
01:03:56The message that if you look too far in the future, you tend to forget who's standing right in front of you.
01:04:00Now, Rhea and Io have a tag team title match on January 5th, and I'm sure Lash and Nia think that they're next in line.
01:04:05But they're not.
01:04:06They're in our way.
01:04:08And whoever wins the tag team championships will be waiting.
01:04:11Okay, thank you.
01:04:20Actually, Jade.
01:04:21Jade.
01:04:23Since you're here, is there anything you'd like to say about attacking Meechan last week on SmackDown?
01:04:29It's okay.
01:04:29It's the season.
01:04:31So I guess I'll say something nice.
01:04:33I was shocked to see Meechan get back up after I knocked her down.
01:04:37Now, she and the rest, they gonna take these L's.
01:04:41Now, I'm big on charity, so I'm gonna give her a little spotlight.
01:04:45And then, I'm gonna knock her lights out.
01:04:48Now, we done?
01:04:51Yeah.
01:04:53I can't scratch sleep.
01:04:54It seems like you forgot.
01:04:56Let me remind you.
01:04:56What are you doing?
01:04:58Let's get some help.
01:05:10Hey, are you all right?
01:05:11Still to come, the WWE Tag Team Championship match.
01:05:20The Wyatt Six and the MFT's.
01:05:24Solo Sokoa has made his statement.
01:05:27Can they deliver?
01:05:29We find out on Friday Night SmackDown.
01:05:32A reminder, when the new year starts, you get even more Friday Night SmackDown, as SmackDown will move to three hours starting on January 2nd.
01:05:45Let's tell you what you're in store for on next week's Friday Night SmackDown.
01:05:50We just saw him perform in tag action.
01:05:53Never gets a week off, but that is how he likes it.
01:05:57The United States Championship will be on the line in an open challenge as Ilya Dragunov defends against.
01:06:05Well, we'll find out next week.
01:06:06And just say his name.
01:06:08Don't say it.
01:06:09Don't say it.
01:06:09And of course, the Scottish psychopath himself, a victim of a home invasion from WWE champ Cody Rhodes post suspension.
01:06:30And Drew McIntyre returns to SmackDown next week.
01:06:39Howdy.
01:06:40You talk a whole lot of nonsense about absolutely nothing.
01:06:46But when you threaten my family, that's when we got a problem.
01:06:51You think this is a game, huh?
01:06:52When it comes to my family, I don't play no damn games.
01:06:55You understand me?
01:06:56We are going to humiliate you, embarrass you in front of the whole wide world.
01:07:03Wait.
01:07:05You hear that?
01:07:06Can you hear that?
01:07:09The Fireflies are here.
01:07:16And they are going to watch us take those tag team titles.
01:07:20Because whether they like it or not, I've got the whole world in my hands.
01:07:34He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:07:39He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:07:40Well, that is one way to get under the skin of Uncle Howdy.
01:07:49And the Wyatt's six.
01:07:52But it's something Solo Sokoa does better than anything.
01:07:56Does he ever.
01:07:57He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:07:58He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:07:59He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:08:00He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:08:01He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:08:02He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:08:03He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:08:04He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:08:05He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:08:06He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:08:07He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:08:08He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:08:09He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:08:10He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:08:11The following contest is scheduled for one fall as it scores the WWE Tag Team
01:08:21Championship.
01:08:24Introducing the challengers accompanied by Solo Zicoa,
01:08:30the MMT.
01:08:36Look at that face of Solo Zicoa.
01:08:39Strong message delivered to Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Six.
01:08:46The WWE Tag Team Championship match is next.
01:08:52A tomorrow night, Triple A, Guerra de Titanis will be streaming live 9 p.m. Eastern, 6 Pacific on WWE's YouTube channel.
01:08:59And WWE Espanol, Dominic Mysterio will be in action, El Grande, Americano, Dragon Lee, and many more.
01:09:06The best of Triple A.
01:09:07Tomorrow might not come for one of the two teams we have in action because it looks like the MFTs are ready for war.
01:09:15The MFTs are ready for war.
01:09:22The MFTs are ready for war.
01:09:29The MFTs are ready for war.
01:09:30The MFTs are ready for war.
01:09:31The MFTs are ready for war.
01:09:36The MFTs are ready for war.
01:09:37The MFTs are ready for war.

01:09:49The MFTs are ready for war.
01:09:50The MFTs are ready for war.
01:09:51The MFTs are ready for war.
01:09:52When things break, things shatter
01:09:56Keep it written on your face
01:10:01The little details matter
01:10:04I'll relax
01:10:06I'll relax
01:10:10I'll relax
01:10:14I'll relax
01:10:18I'll relax
01:10:48Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Six have heard everything that Solo Sokoa has said
01:10:54Dexter Loomis and Joe Gacy with those belts in hand
01:10:59Gold on the line here on SmackDown
01:11:03What a war of words for months now
01:11:07Joe attempts at intimidation from both sides
01:11:11Finally a rather ungentlemanly agreement for this championship opportunity
01:11:16And of course the Wyatts targeted Solo Sokoa and the MFTs
01:11:21Several months back unimpressed with how Solo Sokoa treats his family
01:11:27Solo Sokoa didn't particularly like his original family
01:11:31So he traded them in for the MFTs
01:11:34Got himself a new one
01:11:35And these MFTs are a majorly dangerous unit
01:11:40In every way
01:11:41Needs a couple of right uppercuts as Loomis stalks his prey
01:11:48Neatness of Dexter Loomis
01:11:52That's one word to use
01:11:54Yeah, that's a euphemism for a lot of other things we could say
01:11:56But as odd as he is
01:12:00As unnerving as he is
01:12:01He's utterly devastating in that ring
01:12:04Jumps back with the leg drop
01:12:06And quickly tried to hook the leg
01:12:07And end things early here
01:12:09Don't be thrown by the oddness
01:12:12Of the Wyatts 6
01:12:13In that ring
01:12:14They are technically astute
01:12:16Joe Gacy a major powerhouse in his own right
01:12:19Having to put his body on the line
01:12:22In pursuit of victory
01:12:23For a hardcore style of wrestler
01:12:25That's a good brawl
01:12:28And he's gonna get that and more tonight
01:12:30From Tonga Loa
01:12:31And of course
01:12:32His other partner tonight
01:12:34JC Mateo
01:12:35And JC Mateo
01:12:41The powerhouse is now into some action of his own
01:12:45JC Mateo might be the most trusted soldier of Solo Sokoa's
01:12:51He was the first piece of Solo Sokoa's rebuild
01:12:55When he put this MFT unit together
01:12:57And he's been utterly devastating ever since
01:13:01Just a ball of muscles
01:13:02They're getting outmaneuvered now by Joe Gacy
01:13:05Gacy delivers the drop kick
01:13:07And now tags Dexter Loomis
01:13:08Let's see the teamwork from the Wyatts 6
01:13:11Is in action here
01:13:12To show exactly why they are the tag team champions
01:13:15That's what you get
01:13:17With Loomis and Gacy
01:13:19And the senton
01:13:21As he comes off the ropes
01:13:23Lateral press in the hook of the leg
01:13:24And rolling out to safety is JC Mateo
01:13:29Having time to talk a little tactics on the outside here
01:13:33As Solo Sokoa has made himself comfortable
01:13:35And we're still outshadowed by the massive presence of talent
01:13:39Every time I look to my left here
01:13:42Always a little concerned
01:13:44Ring side
01:13:46Mateo just able to get out of the way
01:13:49Here he is
01:13:50Joe Gacy was charging
01:13:51Man
01:13:52Giant arm of Tonga Loa
01:13:57Cleaning across the face
01:13:59God
01:14:00Look at this
01:14:01Look at the power
01:14:02Right into the post
01:14:05And then throws him down to the floor
01:14:07Way to break someone's spine
01:14:09JC Mateo
01:14:11Look at you stupid
01:14:12That's what I'm talking about
01:14:14Imposing Tonga Loa
01:14:19Taking advantage here
01:14:20WWE Tag Team Championship match
01:14:23Solo Sokoa has put forth his MFTs
01:14:26He says they have walked in ready for war
01:14:29They're going to walk out as the new champions
01:14:31Over the Wyatt Six
01:14:32And their respective units are looking on
01:14:36Could be right here
01:14:37Hopefully or in desperation
01:14:39In the case of the Wyatt Six
01:14:41As the Tag Team Championships
01:14:43Hang in the balance here
01:14:45But they are undeniably
01:14:47Moving closer and closer
01:14:49To the clutches of the MFTs
01:14:51Who've looked completely dominant
01:14:53Since getting the upper hand
01:14:54Just glanced over what we saw
01:14:55That moment
01:14:56Uncle Howdy
01:14:57The concern on his face
01:14:58Big Eric Rowan
01:14:59And Nikki Cross
01:15:01Because in the ring right now
01:15:02Dexter Loomis
01:15:03Over in that corner
01:15:04Where he cannot escape
01:15:06Loa and JC Mateo
01:15:07I can't imagine
01:15:08Either of these sides
01:15:09Either going back to
01:15:10Uncle Howdy
01:15:11Or to Solo Sokoa
01:15:13Having disappointed them
01:15:14In this match
01:15:15Both teams know
01:15:17They better win this thing
01:15:18Boom
01:15:19Solo Sokoa has been very outspoken
01:15:22Directing those messages
01:15:24Straight to Uncle Howdy
01:15:25The message is clear
01:15:27The entire mentality
01:15:29Of the MFTs
01:15:31Is the acquisition
01:15:32Of every single piece of gold
01:15:34Here on SmackDown
01:15:36Well this could be
01:15:37The first piece of the puzzle
01:15:38Slam and right to the cover
01:15:42Mateo
01:15:42And now he hooks the leg
01:15:45But can't capture gold
01:15:47You can see the frustration
01:15:48On his face for a moment there
01:15:50As back to work he goes
01:15:52Mateo
01:15:52Human battering ram and right now
01:15:55The body of Dexter Loomis has taken
01:15:57A devastating battering
01:15:59Over the past several minutes
01:16:01And it does not get easier
01:16:04When the massive Tonga Loa gets in there
01:16:06Nothing technical
01:16:08Nothing pretty about Tonga Loa
01:16:10More likely to rip your eyeballs out
01:16:13Than a player
01:16:13Technical hold
01:16:14Caving the rim cage of Dexter Loomis
01:16:19Absolutely
01:16:19They are coming closer and closer
01:16:22To capturing
01:16:23The tag team championships
01:16:25Tonga Loa is going to be closer
01:16:27And closer to becoming
01:16:28Unglued with frustration
01:16:30He knows full well
01:16:31There should be this
01:16:32Clutches by now
01:16:33But taking a beat too long
01:16:34To do anything about it
01:16:36And getting tagged on the jaw
01:16:37Hell he gets dragged back
01:16:39By the waist
01:16:40As he was just about
01:16:42To get to Joe Gacy
01:16:43Look how nimble Dexter Loomis is
01:16:45Finishing up with that
01:16:47Super kick to the jaw
01:16:48Of J.C. Mateo
01:16:50Boy oh boy
01:16:51Do they need this tag
01:16:52Here he comes
01:16:54Joe Gacy
01:16:56God that lunatic
01:16:57Nikki Cross is running around
01:16:59The outside of the ring too
01:17:00I'll try and focus on the match
01:17:01Look at Gacy
01:17:03Rallying back to Wyatt Six
01:17:05Look at what he's able to do
01:17:07To Mateo
01:17:08Give him the souffle
01:17:09Specialist a taste
01:17:10Of his own medicine
01:17:11Massive right hand
01:17:14From Gacy
01:17:15And showing you
01:17:19Just enough power
01:17:21And grit
01:17:22Oh but cannot
01:17:23Retain right there
01:17:25Stalling
01:17:26Saito's suplex
01:17:27Against a man
01:17:28The size of J.C.
01:17:29What the hell
01:17:30Getting out of the way
01:17:32Was J.C. Mateo
01:17:33Off that springboard
01:17:34Attempt
01:17:35Oh
01:17:36And this could be it
01:17:39For gold right here
01:17:40Getting that left shoulder up
01:17:42So much talk
01:17:43In that side suplex
01:17:45From J.C. Mateo
01:17:46The former Olympian
01:17:47Gacy at his best
01:17:49Unfeasible athleticism
01:17:55From Joe Gacy
01:17:56And now it's about
01:17:57Take two
01:17:58Tagaloa
01:17:58Tagaloa gets some
01:18:00Joe Gacy
01:18:02One man
01:18:03Showing it
01:18:04Right now
01:18:04You can't judge a butt
01:18:06By his cover
01:18:07When it comes to
01:18:07Joe Gacy
01:18:08This guy can do
01:18:09Some crazy stuff
01:18:10Like that
01:18:11Throwing his body
01:18:14On the line
01:18:15Taking out two men
01:18:16In one go
01:18:17And perhaps
01:18:18Giving the opportunity
01:18:20For the Wyatt Six
01:18:21To finish this thing
01:18:22Ever good
01:18:22And now everything
01:18:24Solo Sokoa said
01:18:25Could go the other way
01:18:28Right here
01:18:29Suplex powerbomb combo
01:18:30And J.C. Mateo
01:18:32May be out
01:18:33But why not look up
01:18:35With the win
01:18:35Joe Tess
01:18:36Loomis is gonna fly
01:18:37Wave
01:18:38This to hold on
01:18:41To go
01:18:42And the save
01:18:43Well Tongaloa
01:18:46Had to be on point
01:18:47With that break
01:18:47Because wiped out
01:18:48Was J.C. Mateo
01:18:50And now we're going
01:18:50Oh no
01:18:51And that's behind
01:18:53The referees
01:18:53Back
01:18:54The massive Tongaloa
01:18:55Keep your eyes open though
01:18:56Rowan takes him out
01:18:58Oh it's on
01:18:59It is on
01:19:00On the floor
01:19:00It was a matter of
01:19:03When
01:19:04Not in
01:19:04Oh my
01:19:05Mass of Eric Rowan
01:19:08Oh no
01:19:09Uncle Howdy's in the mix
01:19:10Oh my God
01:19:11It is an all out brawl
01:19:12Between the MFTs
01:19:14And the Wyatt Six
01:19:15This one's thrown out
01:19:17This is craziness here
01:19:20Pandemonium
01:19:21Breaking out
01:19:22In our main event
01:19:23This one has been
01:19:24Blown out by the referee
01:19:25Good luck getting control of this
01:19:28We need a stun gun
01:19:30We need tasers
01:19:31We need tear gas
01:19:32We need riot police
01:19:34This is out of control
01:19:35This is out of control
01:19:36Barrett
01:19:36Absolutely out of control
01:19:38It's been bubbling up for weeks
01:19:42Tolantaga was out on the floor
01:19:45He did damage
01:19:47And Big Rowan said
01:19:49Not so fast
01:19:51And now everywhere you look
01:19:53They are flying at each other
01:19:55Now the two bosses
01:19:56Uncle Howdy and Solo
01:19:58Sekoua getting into it too
01:20:00Who would want to be in the front row for this
01:20:03Keep well back
01:20:05As they send in Joe Casey as well
01:20:08In the numbers game
01:20:09In the center of the ring
01:20:09Oh the numbers game
01:20:11Talk about the numbers game
01:20:12Tolantaga
01:20:13Is a one man numbers game
01:20:16And he's going up top
01:20:17He's almost seven foot tall
01:20:19Oh a cross body wipeout
