00:02:26Tonight
00:02:55professional wrestling destroyed sports entertainment.
00:03:57I'm going to play this over you all this week.
00:04:05Good evening, everybody.
00:04:19Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett as we welcome you to Friday night SmackDown.
00:04:23Wade, we're very much still in the afterglow of Saturday night's main event,
00:04:27John Cena's final match.
00:04:29But tonight we shift our focus to Cody Rhodes.
00:04:32Now his match in Washington DC last Saturday night was truncated.
00:04:36Another attack by Drew McIntyre.
00:04:38But it didn't end there between Cody and Drew.
00:04:42And 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.
00:04:54The undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has arrived to SmackDown.
00:05:01Cody has plenty to be fired up about over Drew McIntyre.
00:05:05We will hear from Cody ahead.
00:05:08Plus, the WWE Tag Team Championship match is coming your way.
00:05:14Zolo Sokoa, he has put the champs on notice.
00:05:17He says his MFTs are ready to show the world how to capture gold.
00:05:21The Wyatt Six, the target.
00:05:44Enjoy!
00:05:53Awesome!
00:05:54god!
00:05:551
00:05:57Ladies and gentlemen,
00:06:27please welcome Damian Priest.
00:06:36Wait, Damian Priest ongoing feud with Aleister Black took a turn last week.
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
00:06:55are known as the Terra Twins with this double Razor's Edge connected on their opponents
00:07:03followed up with a riptide from Rhea bloody Ripley for a major victory against their longtime
00:07:11rivals.
00:07:12I'm gonna play down that riptide with Zelina up nearly over her head to deliver that.
00:07:23Too many people would change places with Zelina and Aleister Black during that matchup.
00:07:30But let's see what's coming next for the Punisher himself, Damian Priest.
00:07:39Hershey, 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.
00:08:06But I think I can speak for all of us when I say to someone who inspired so many, when
00:08:14I say to the man without a shadow of a doubt, he is the greatest of all time.
00:08:21We say, thank you, Cena.
00:08:42I feel that.
00:08:47Thank you for that.
00:08:49Now, let's talk about some good times.
00:08:53Good times like last Friday night Smackdown when Zelina and Aleister got their asses dropped
00:09:02by the Terror Twins.
00:09:07Yeah, that business has been handled.
00:09:09So now we can look to 2026.
00:09:12Damian, you are such a hypocrite.
00:09:29You really think that getting your mommy to fight your battles for you makes you a real man?
00:09:36News flash, you didn't even get the pin.
00:09:41And you call that salvation?
00:09:45You just can't stand the fact that Aleister broke you.
00:09:51You made your decision.
00:09:55You made your decision.
00:09:56And now you have to live with ours.
00:10:01Or more importantly, his.
00:10:04Oh, Aleister Black was behind Damian Priest and he's beating him down.
00:10:18What a sneak attack.
00:10:21Aided and abetted by Zelina by the Punisher Damian Priest fighting back.
00:10:26Fighting for his life at this point.
00:10:28Massive right hand delivered by Priest.
00:10:32Just when Damian Priest thought he put this to bed with Aleister Black and Zelina.
00:10:36They are back with a vengeance, but things have backfired.
00:10:39Just like last week.
00:10:40No, he's able to reverse onto the attempt for the Razor's Edge.
00:10:43Oh, Bickney from Black.
00:10:46Muay Thai strikes of Aleister Black coming to the fort once again.
00:10:51This is one dangerous man, but caught in mid-air.
00:10:55And driven south of heaven.
00:10:57Onto the apron, south of heaven.
00:11:06Oh, Priest.
00:11:08Reaching under the ring.
00:11:11This crowd's gonna explode.
00:11:16Nothing more they wanna see than that.
00:11:20Damian Priest apparently looking to finish the Aleister Black problem off for good.
00:11:26And this might be one way to do it.
00:11:28Zelina looks hopelessly on.
00:11:31Yes.
00:11:32Oh, Black is back to his feet with the steel chair.
00:11:34Right across the bat.
00:11:39The table just not cooperating with Damian Priest.
00:11:42And taking advantage briefly was Aleister Black.
00:11:47But here we go.
00:11:48No!
00:11:49Right into the post.
00:11:50Desperate struggle.
00:11:52Oh!
00:11:53These big kicks by Aleister Black.
00:11:55You know the damage they can do, Wade.
00:11:57Ground pass right to the temple of Damian Priest.
00:12:01Who still fights up from the death.
00:12:05Spinning back elbow from Black.
00:12:07Able to get out of that south of heaven attempt again.
00:12:10Now up on the apron.
00:12:11Absolute scramble this is.
00:12:14Oh my!
00:12:16The double knees off the apron right through the table.
00:12:26The damage done.
00:12:28Black himself reaching for his leg as Damian Priest through the table.
00:12:35Think of that left Aleister Black in pain.
00:12:38Just imagine what it did to Damian Priest who got jumped tonight by Aleister Black and Zelina.
00:12:45Let's go backstage.
00:12:46The Pirate Saxon.
00:12:48This is your one moment to do it.
00:12:51Joe, Wade, thank you so much.
00:12:53I'm standing by with the pairing of Lash Legend and Nia Jax.
00:12:57Lash, I do want to start with you.
00:12:58And deliver you your flowers and congratulate you on the upset victory over Ale-
00:13:03Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:13:04Skirt, what are you talking about?
00:13:05Upset Byron?
00:13:07She clearly beat Alexa Bliss 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.
00:13:17Because I was whipping her little tail all up and down that ring.
00:13:20Because that's what the bougie bully does.
00:13:22And now that we're done with Lexi and Charlotte, we're moving on.
00:13:26Mm-hmm.
00:13:27And once we annihilate the Kabuki Warriors, we are going to slide into that tag team championship match
00:13:32and become the new tag team champions.
00:13:35I love that.
00:13:36I should point out that Rhea Ripley and Io Sky do have an upcoming tag team title opportunity,
00:13:40so you may have to-
00:13:42As you gotta point out-
00:13:45You're so annoying, Byron.
00:13:46It doesn't matter who all of a sudden wants to become best friends.
00:13:49Those tag team titles are ours.
00:13:51Right.
00:13:52Forget Rio.
00:13:53Forget the Kabukis.
00:13:54Forget Charlexa.
00:13:55It's about the irresistible force and the bougie bully now.
00:13:59And we're coming after those tag team titles.
00:14:01Uh.
00:14:02Uh.
00:14:03And Lash and Naya giving wrapping paper.
00:14:08A couple of Santa's little helpers right there.
00:14:12Well, here's a couple of ladies who don't help anybody but themselves.
00:14:16No, they don't.
00:14:18The following is a tag team match for the football ball.
00:14:25Introducing first, they are the Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:14:33Asuka and Kyrie Zane, the Kabuki Warriors.
00:14:44The Kabuki Warriors against Nia Jax and Lash Legend when we return to Friday Night SmackDown.
00:14:54We'll be back in the back of my neck.
00:15:03Get the strings off.
00:15:04Right?
00:15:05You're right.
00:15:06Yeah, yeah.
00:15:07Get him out of here.
00:15:08Get the strings off.
00:15:09All right, but I'll be fine now.
00:15:11Go! Go! Go!
00:15:13Don't bring him!
00:15:14Stay back!
00:15:15Stay away!
00:15:16Let him back go!
00:15:17Let him do it!
00:15:18Let him do it!
00:15:19Let him do it!
00:15:24Get back! Get back!
00:15:26Get back!
00:15:27Get back!
00:15:28Get back!
00:15:29That's enough!
00:15:31I over-signed!
00:15:32No, no, no!
00:15:34Get back! Get back!
00:15:36Let him do it now!
00:15:38Get back!
00:15:39Get back!
00:15:40Stay back!
00:15:41It's time for you to end this.
00:15:42Come on!
00:15:43Get back!
00:15:46Hey!
00:15:47Let's go!
00:15:48Don't do it!
00:15:49You want that?
00:15:51Go!
00:15:52Go!
00:15:53Get back!
00:15:58Get back!
00:15:59Get him off of here!
00:16:01Hey!
00:16:02Get out of here!
00:16:03Get out of here!
00:16:04Go!
00:16:05Now the Kabuki Warriors
00:16:08just a matter of
00:16:10days ago
00:16:11an attack with Rhea and Io again
00:16:13tonight a far different challenge.
00:16:14Last challenge
00:16:15different size
00:16:16perhaps most intimidating new tag team
00:16:18in the division
00:16:19in the division.
00:16:44And your opponents, the team of Lash Legends.
00:16:49And Nia Jax.
00:16:54Instantly wait as dangerous a pairing as the women's division can have.
00:16:58Let's go back to last week.
00:17:00Yeah, this is SmackDown.
00:17:02Seven days ago, Lash Legend taking on Alexa Bliss.
00:17:06Alexa looking good.
00:17:07That was until Jax got involved,
00:17:10which triggered a huge brawl on the outside with Charlotte Flair,
00:17:15who was then taken down by Lash Legend.
00:17:18The power of Lash Legend proving too much took over.
00:17:22And one Lash extension later,
00:17:25the 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.
00:17:44So 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.
00:17:53Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett filling in for Michael Cole and Corey Graves here on SmackDown.
00:18:05Great to think, not so long ago, these four women teaming together inside of War Games.
00:18:11Now, of course, all bets are off.
00:18:17Clearly Lash Legend and Nia Jax have an eye for the gold that belongs to the Kabuki Warriors.
00:18:23Doing 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.
00:18:35Legend coming in looking for that big leg, but instead gets chopped down from behind by Kairi Sane.
00:18:41Well, that's smart of Kairi Sane.
00:18:42You simply cannot match power with someone like Lash Legend.
00:18:45You have to try and outmaneuver her.
00:18:47And outmaneuvering her, Kairi Sane is at this point in the match.
00:18:52Now, here's what she does best. Off the top rope. Oh, but would you look at the strength and power of the former first-team All-SEC athlete.
00:19:03Sane, able to reverse it. Legend trying to keep that body control.
00:19:08Brilliant. Wow.
00:19:10Oh, what a nice pivot there from Lash Legend.
00:19:13And trying to make no mistakes the second time around against Kairi Sane using power to advantage, but denied once again.
00:19:21With the veteran wiles of Kairi Sane.
00:19:24Highly beneficial in the early jump, it's all.
00:19:29There's just no competing with that kind of timing and power from Lash Legend.
00:19:34And with that tag, it does not get any easier.
00:19:37I mean, and then just dragging her into position for Nadia Jax to squash in the corner.
00:19:43Oh, and then Legend comes in as well.
00:19:47Completely dominant display this has been from these two superpowers.
00:19:52Shoulders down and Sane able to get out of position.
00:19:55You'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 their own a little something when it comes to that gold 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.
00:20:26Yeah, taking the Kabuki Warriors lightly is a fool's errand in this game.
00:20:30One 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.
00:20:44Oh, that changed everything.
00:20:46Did it ever, and was it effortless?
00:20:49Pop-up headbutt right to the sternum of the Empress of Tomorrow.
00:20:53Walks right into the big boot though.
00:20:55Opportunity for Asuka.
00:20:57Hailing that lung blower, completely rocking Nia Jax, but Jax of course still on her feet.
00:21:03Might change now though.
00:21:06Double 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.
00:21:18Here comes Asuka.
00:21:22From an Empress Impact to Kyrie Sane up top.
00:21:27Out to the floor.
00:21:29Are you kidding me?
00:21:31Takes them both out.
00:21:33Asuka and Kyrie Sane.
00:21:36Look at her fly.
00:21:44Back to action here.
00:21:45Asuka 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.
00:21:57This tag that Kyrie Sane was not aware of to Lash Legend.
00:22:01Followed up by that pump kick right to the jaw.
00:22:04Of the Pirate Princess.
00:22:06Who's not looked quite the same ever since.
00:22:08And now ready to drop the hammer is the Bougie Bully.
00:22:12Lash Legend is just a cheat code.
00:22:19So big, so strong, so tough.
00:22:22There's only one weakness.
00:22:24And that's really the lack of experience at the very top level here.
00:22:27But guess what?
00:22:28You've got Nia Jax tagging with you.
00:22:30And all the veteran experience of Jax is now getting passed on to Lash Legend.
00:22:35Of course, the early part of her athletic success was on the hard work.
00:22:39He was a superstar at Texas A&M, SEC Basketball.
00:22:43And then a first-round draft pick into the WNBA before finding her home in WWE.
00:22:49And she's not going away.
00:22:51Some people are just too aggressive for a basketball court, Joe Test.
00:22:55And those people, if they're tough enough, they'll make their way to WWE.
00:23:00And 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.
00:23:13She's not going to waste her time with people who simply won't cut it at this level.
00:23:17She's been studying Lash Legend's movements in NXT for the past couple of years.
00:23:22And picked the exact right spot to find a woman at home.
00:23:26Oh!
00:23:27They 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.
00:23:38You 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.
00:23:48And in comes Asuka.
00:23:50Here she is.
00:23:52Missile drop kick for two.
00:23:57Asuka running in with that elbow.
00:23:59And getting out of the way as Legend smashes into Jax.
00:24:06Beautiful kicks from Asuka as she revs that offensive engine.
00:24:10Asuka denies the Samoan drop.
00:24:14And 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.
00:24:23Oh!
00:24:23It is locked in!
00:24:27And somehow, some way, Nia Jax just powers her up.
00:24:36Trying to get out the back door.
00:24:37Oh!
00:24:39Missing.
00:24:40The drop is Jax.
00:24:42And instead, Asuka delivers.
00:24:46And the save by Lash Legend.
00:24:48Incredible speed there from some of the size of Lash Legend that it needed to be.
00:24:51But that spinning back elbow completely rocking the Bougie Bully.
00:24:56Got her up top.
00:25:04Powering the way out of it though is Lash Legend.
00:25:07And there is a shot to the jaw that changes the night of the Kabuki Warriors perhaps.
00:25:13Certainly Kairi Sane.
00:25:14I 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.
00:25:21Well, effectively 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.
00:25:31Sensing it is Lash Legend.
00:25:33Lash Legend getting pulled back down to the floor by Kairi Sane.
00:25:38And now Nia Jax is going up top.
00:25:41Oh, this is going to be ugly for Asuka.
00:25:45Or is it?
00:25:47Would you look at Asuka?
00:25:50There's the tag.
00:25:54Delivering and what a thought it was.
00:25:56Oh, what a scramble.
00:25:58These two are not legal, but 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 does 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?
00:26:19He's looking for that insane elbow.
00:26:21Oh, but instead Nia meets her.
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.
00:26:36One, two, three.
00:26:37And just like that.
00:26:41Here are your winners.
00:26:43The team of Lash Legend and Nia Jax.
00:26:49While the tag champs, the Kabuki Warriors, have a date with Desi.
00:26:56Oh, wait a minute.
00:26:57Oh, wait a minute.
00:26:58Got the celebrations.
00:27:02Charlotte and Alexa heading straight to them.
00:27:06The former tag champs have got major issues with all four of the women who are out here.
00:27:11Now focusing on the winners, Jax and Lash Legend.
00:27:16Look at Alexa taking it right to Lash Legend.
00:27:19A week ago, you know exactly what happened when they met up.
00:27:22With a mass brawl.
00:27:24And of course, the reason Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair no longer have the gold is in large part
00:27:30because of this duo they're now beating out of the ring.
00:27:33Look at the teamwork.
00:27:38The 14-time world champion putting Lash Legend right into that drop zone.
00:27:44Oh, but Nia Jax clears her.
00:27:47Saving Lash Legend from certain devastation.
00:27:51Issues between these four clearly not concluded.
00:27:57They want those in their hands for good again.
00:28:05As we go backstage to Jackie Redmond.
00:28:10Yeah, Tess, thank you so much.
00:28:11It's already been quite an eventful start to Friday Night SmackDown.
00:28:15So without further ado, please welcome my guest.
00:28:17Excuse me, hi, Kiana James.
00:28:19I don't know who you think you are, but over here on SmackDown,
00:28:22if you want to address my client, you have to go through me first, okay?
00:28:26Okay, I'm sorry, I don't normally do this show.
00:28:31Can I please speak with your client, Julia?
00:28:33You may, but don't make this mistake again.
00:28:37Okay, please welcome my guest, former Women's United States Champion, Julia.
00:28:42Julia, thanks for the time.
00:28:43Um, you've made it aggressively clear that you want that Women's United States Championship back.
00:28:49But Chelsea Green is making life difficult, making you go through Alba Fire in a match tonight.
00:28:54Chelsea Green wants to hide with the Women's US title.
00:28:58Okay, I will take out Alba Fire.
00:29:01Chelsea, Chelsea, time is running out.
00:29:07Arrivederci, matana.
00:29:09When we return, it has social media roaring with curiosity.
00:29:20We'll take a look at the explosive operation that took place at Drew McIntyre's home this past week.
00:29:26That's next.
00:29:27We'll take a look at you.
00:29:29We'll take a look at you.
00:29:30We'll take a look at you.
00:29:30Really questioning why I still came, but Cody wants you reinstated.
00:29:35We all want you reinstated.
00:29:37You're a top talent in WWE, obviously.
00:29:41An integral part of SmackDown.
00:29:42So, I have a proposal.
00:29:48I think that you're going to like the terms.
00:29:51You get a one-on-one match with WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
00:29:56The title will be on the line.
00:29:59And secondly, to show our officials and the WWE Universe that you've repented,
00:30:06I'd like a public apology to Dan Engler for that heinous attack.
00:30:14He's lucky he's not in intensive care.
00:30:17There's also a hefty fine.
00:30:19But, I think that your payday from Survivor Series War Games should just about cover that.
00:30:27So, those are the terms.
00:30:30Take it or leave it.
00:30:32I get my match.
00:30:33The WWE Championship.
00:30:35Yes.
00:30:39The thing I want more than anything.
00:30:42I've got no choice.
00:30:46No.
00:30:48Absolutely not.
00:30:49No.
00:30:49No.
00:30:50This is what Cody wants.
00:30:52This is what you want.
00:30:53You've created an unsafe working environment.
00:30:57I accept these terms.
00:30:59I'm just going to get screwed again.
00:31:01So, no.
00:31:03I don't accept your terms.
00:31:05Instead of another monologue about all the ways you've been screwed,
00:31:08why don't you just tell me what you want.
00:31:09Okay.
00:31:10What I want was fair.
00:31:12Fair.
00:31:12That's it.
00:31:13If I come back, if I come back, I get my WWE Championship match with Cody Rhodes.
00:31:19I served.
00:31:19I'm learning how much you're willing to protect your golden boy, but I want to pick the stipulation.
00:31:27I can live with that.
00:31:28Okay.
00:31:28And last, but no means least, I want you to fly back to Stamford, Connecticut after we finish here.
00:31:36I want you to get your little lawyers together.
00:31:38And I want you to draw up some documents that say,
00:31:42Cody Rhodes cannot lay one finger on me before that championship match,
00:31:49or he is stripped of the WWE Championship.
00:31:53You know, I really hate this, but get the match in the ring.
00:32:06Got a deal.
00:32:06Pleasure doing business with you, buddy.
00:32:16Come on, mate.
00:32:16How quick can I see those documents?
00:32:18How quick is it going to take to draw them up?
00:32:20Well, I have to tell Cody, and then I have to talk to legal, but maybe by the end of the day.
00:32:24End of the day.
00:32:25Fantastic.
00:32:26Fantastic.
00:32:27I should never get out of here.
00:32:28What the hell is this?
00:32:31Oh, come on, man.
00:32:34You've got to be kidding me.
00:32:36You're seriously going to be kidding me.
00:32:38My house, my home, really all this.
00:32:41You set me up like this, you come to talk business,
00:32:44you bring them to my house where their family sleeps.
00:32:46Hey, just stay there.
00:32:47I'll handle it.
00:32:47He's out there right now.
00:32:48I'll handle it.
00:32:49You can handle it.
00:32:50Handle it.
00:32:51I'll handle it.
00:32:54Why are we negotiating with that?
00:32:55What are you doing?
00:32:56What are you doing?
00:32:57Why are you here?
00:32:58You're ruining everything.
00:32:59What am I ruining it?
00:33:01You're seriously going to show up at my damn property.
00:33:05I'm about to get him out of here.
00:33:11You're in my damn house.
00:33:12You're in my damn house.
00:33:15He's on my damn house.
00:33:17Hey, you're in your damn house.
00:33:18Come on.
00:33:19You're here.
00:33:19Come on, yeah.
00:33:20Come on, yeah.
00:33:20Come on, yeah.
00:33:21Come on.
00:33:22Come on.
00:33:22Come on.
00:33:23He asked for it.
00:33:28He asked for it.
00:33:29He asked for it.
00:33:31Merry Christmas, ass.
00:33:33You're going to be killed.
00:33:35You're going to be killed.
00:33:36I'm going to have it.
00:33:38I'm doing whatever.
00:33:39I have it.
00:33:40I have to.
00:33:45Nick, we just watched the footage from that uncomfortable altercation earlier on this week.
00:33:49What do you make of how deeply personal things have gotten between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes?
00:33:55Well, the whole thing's gotten out of hand sacks.
00:33:56I mean, I'm having legal letters.
00:33:57I'm hiring extra security.
00:33:59Ava's pissed off because her champion's big night got ruined.
00:34:01And on top of all that, SmackDown is still without one of its biggest stars.
00:34:04Yeah, Drew, I said it.
00:34:05Because while there's no love lost right now, I tell it like it is.
00:34:08And I have to tell it like it is when it comes to Cody.
00:34:11Because what he did was completely out of line.
00:34:14But a lot of that is out of my hands because it didn't happen at a WWE event.
00:34:17So it's up to local authorities what happens to Cody.
00:34:19From here on out.
00:34:20But I do plan on meeting with Cody to discuss everything.
00:34:23And Drew has sent in some comments.
00:34:25Mr. Aldis.
00:34:28Do you know why everyone was shocked at Saturday night's main event?
00:34:32Because he who should not be named ruined it.
00:34:34And I want to match with him.
00:34:36Him?
00:34:37Oh, you mean Carmelo Hayes?
00:34:38No, not Carmelo.
00:34:39Well, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Carmelo Hayes.
00:34:42But no, you know who I'm talking about.
00:34:44I'm just kidding.
00:34:44I know you mean Joe Hayes.
00:34:47Don't say his name.
00:34:48You crazy?
00:34:50But yes, that guy, I want to match next week on SmackDown.
00:34:54You know what, Miz?
00:34:55That's actually a good idea.
00:34:56Let me give Ava a call.
00:34:58And hopefully if she's calmed down some, she'll see to it.
00:35:00But you know, in the meantime, you could always just say his name.
00:35:03I believe in Joe Pesci.
00:35:16Nick, he's just mad because I saw your British boss.
00:35:19The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:35:43And now, we're introducing person, accompanied by Kiyama Chase, from Tokyo, Japan, Julia.
00:35:52The recent U.S. champ, Julia, as talented and capable as anybody on the roster.
00:36:03Chelsea Green, she wants her hands on.
00:36:05But the next best thing is opposite her in moments.
00:36:08Alba Fire.
00:36:10That is next.
00:36:11Julia and Alba Fire on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:36:16For a former women's U.S. champ, Julia in the ring now, flanked by her official representative,
00:36:35Kiana James.
00:36:36Not so well with her that she lost the goal to Chelsea Green several weeks back.
00:36:42And clearly on a mission now to try and get back to said goal.
00:36:48But if you want to find a pathway to the U.S. champ, Chelsea Green, first things first,
00:36:53you've got to get past the secret, Herbis.
00:36:55And that is easier said than done.
00:36:57This is Alba Fire, who is a mean, nasty Scottish veteran.
00:37:04You know, I think it's interesting to see Julia's disposition here, Wade,
00:37:07because you always wonder when it's your first match since losing a championship.
00:37:12And that is the case here.
00:37:13And that's exactly what you could sense coming, just coming right out on the attack.
00:37:19Because this is her first match since November 7th, when she dropped the Women's United States Championship.
00:37:25She's very unhappy about how she lost that championship.
00:37:29Feels like she was screwed out of the title, which is a major chicanery from Chelsea Green and her cohorts.
00:37:36And it looks like Payback is now being exacted on Alba Fire.
00:37:42Well, she has proven herself in spots like this.
00:37:45She has not lost back-to-back singles matches since being on the main roster,
00:37:49when she joined the main roster earlier this year.
00:37:52And she has a certain time.
00:37:53And she is coming out red hot here as Julia.
00:37:56Yeah, absolutely unglued.
00:37:58And, of course, highly motivated by the screechings of Chelsea Green.
00:38:04Honestly, I forgot what it's like to call a match when she's anywhere,
00:38:08either in the ring or outside the ring.
00:38:10And what it does to the eardrums.
00:38:12We need to get her on the desk.
00:38:14Never, please.
00:38:14Someone to talk some sense, please.
00:38:15Never.
00:38:16Mute button only.
00:38:17Julia really needs to try her best to keep her focus on one person here.
00:38:24Try, if possible, to ignore Chelsea Green on the outside, as tough as that may be.
00:38:30Focus fully on Alba Fire.
00:38:31You've got the upper hand.
00:38:32You have to make it count.
00:38:34Well, that's tough.
00:38:34Let's see.
00:38:35That's exactly the problem.
00:38:37She keeps looking over that way.
00:38:38And with it, Alba Fire takes advantage.
00:38:40And those are the results of the problem.
00:38:42You simply cannot do that against someone the caliber of Alba Fire.
00:38:47Alba Fire is so skilled in her own right.
00:38:52Nato DDT, boy, look at the impact it had on Julia.
00:38:55One, two, three, four.
00:38:57We make a lot of talk about how Julia really was such a dominant champion in Japan
00:39:02before she headed over to the US and got involved with NXT.
00:39:06And, of course, now SmackDown, the same could be said of Alba Fire, who was-
00:39:11Boom!
00:39:12One more, one more.
00:39:15Almost ripped a giant chunk out of the hair of Alba Fire there.
00:39:19Alba Fire completely reeling at this point.
00:39:22This is a highly enraged, beautiful madness.
00:39:25There's nothing beautiful about this, but there's certainly a ton of madness on display.
00:39:30Madness and fury.
00:39:32And this could be a short night for Alba Fire, but too much left in the tank.
00:39:36Able to get out of the way of that right hand.
00:39:38And now you see Julia getting a look.
00:39:40Just stretching out Alba Fire.
00:39:42Nice abdominal stretch and agony etched all over the face of Alba Fire.
00:39:47Now compounding that damage.
00:39:49Those hammer elbows right into the pinning combination and then reversed this time.
00:39:53But Alba Fire, look at them going round and round.
00:39:56Shoulders are down.
00:39:57Two technical wizards in that ring going hole for hole, but completely rocked now as Alba Fire.
00:40:04And if Julia can pick up the pace or pick up the punishment, a win could be imminent here.
00:40:11Of course, Chelsea Green is having to watch all of this go down.
00:40:16Fire able to escape.
00:40:19Delivers the kick.
00:40:21And arching back and falling is Julia.
00:40:23And this could be over right here.
00:40:24The lateral press put the kick out.
00:40:26Nice pin right across the shoulders of Julia.
00:40:29Julia just too much left in the tank of the beautiful madness.
00:40:32But for how much longer?
00:40:33Oh, perhaps going back to the face buster, but reversed.
00:40:39Oh, Arrivederci.
00:40:42That Arrivederci knee, you know the damage it can do.
00:40:49Julia putting a little something extra into it.
00:40:54To end it right here.
00:40:56One, two, three.
00:40:57As she stares at Chelsea Green and doing it.
00:41:02Here is your winner, Julia.
00:41:07A physical message viscerally received by the United States champ, Chelsea Green.
00:41:15Julia wants her goal back.
00:41:19Her first match since losing the Women's United States Championship.
00:41:24And statement made right in front of Chelsea Green.
00:41:29Oh.
00:41:31Green ends up on her backside, Wade.
00:41:34Don't help her up.
00:41:35Don't help her up.
00:41:35She's the first lady of professional wrestling, Joe.
00:41:38Be a gentleman.
00:41:43Cody Rhodes is making his way here.
00:41:46Here, the American Nightmare joins us live.
00:41:51The Undisputed Champ, next.
00:41:53Listen closely, Solo.
00:42:08Your greed for status and power have led you down a dark path.
00:42:15The truth lies beneath the surface.
00:42:23And this image you portray is going to catapult your family into a whole new world.
00:42:32A world filled with adversity and abandoned nickel.
00:42:42There will be nowhere for you to run.
00:42:47Solo, tonight you begin your journey.
00:42:52A journey that will force you and your family to surrender.
00:42:59articulate a life of frankly, are away.
00:43:08Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia Mick, Square quarter, As-AM-E, Kaka, Kaka, Kaka, Kaka Kaka, Kaka, Kaka, Kaka, Kaka, Kaka, Kaka, Kaka, meanings, Kaka'an-B� Pir's, Kakaak, fundamentally.
00:43:45Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the undisputed WWE Champion.
00:44:15The Nightmare, Cody Rhodes!
00:44:20Wade, it has been a roller coaster of a week for Cody Rhodes,
00:44:23and it all began with that match in Washington, D.C.,
00:44:26against one of the next great ones, Oberfemi.
00:44:28Yeah, Saturday night's main event, NXT champ, Oberfemi looking incredible
00:44:32against WWE champ, Cody Rhodes.
00:44:34But Cody showing us all why he's QB1 in the industry.
00:44:39What a match this was until it was ruined by Drew McIntyre,
00:44:44attacking his arch rival until Oberfemi got involved too.
00:44:50But Ober, and Cody combined to drop the scum warrior.
00:44:55This is with Drew and Cody are clearly a long, long way from being Ober.
00:45:02Of course, all the emotion with John Cena's last match for Cody too.
00:45:17What an incredible way he honored Cena.
00:45:19Carried that emotion even on to the post-show afterwards.
00:45:23Now, all the drama with Drew McIntyre.
00:45:28Home invasion, uncharacteristic and I would say unbecoming of a WWE Champion.
00:45:36I question the mental state of Cody Rhodes right now.
00:45:39Clearly, Drew McIntyre firmly under the skin of the champ.
00:45:43That's how far this thing has gone.
00:45:45Yeah, I am today, and you're just what I am.
00:45:50I want you.
00:45:51Hershey P.
00:46:12What do you want to talk about?
00:46:20Okay, did I go to Drew McIntyre's home?
00:46:25Did a member of law enforcement get thrown into the water?
00:46:29Did things get physical?
00:46:30Yes.
00:46:31But, Drew McIntyre has stated that WWE currently is an unsafe working environment.
00:46:43That's all of you.
00:46:49He said that we collectively are an unsafe working environment.
00:46:56So, Drew, you are surrounded by MMA stars, second generation wrestlers, NIL,
00:47:06college, and pro athletes.
00:47:08What would be a safe environment for you?
00:47:12Staples?
00:47:15And besides, that little yard brawl was one tenth of what should happen right here, right now,
00:47:23with me and Drew McIntyre in this very ring.
00:47:26Cody, I don't think you appreciate the situation you've got yourself into, or me, or the company, actually.
00:47:39See, Drew is claiming an unsafe work environment.
00:47:43And you and I know that that's a load of crap.
00:47:46But the problem is, is when you showed up at his house and started a brawl, you made his point for him.
00:47:55And to make things worse, I had to make a bad deal, because you made me look like a liar.
00:48:03So I'm telling you this is your friend.
00:48:08Yes, you're the champ.
00:48:11QB won.
00:48:13But you're not above the law.
00:48:16And I can't help you with that one.
00:48:18Cody, you should have trusted me to get this thing over the finish line.
00:48:25But you didn't.
00:48:26So now, when Drew comes back, if he pays the fine and makes that public apology to Dan Engler, Cody,
00:48:40you can't lay a finger on Drew McIntyre.
00:48:45Or what?
00:48:49Nick, or what?
00:48:54Nick, or I have to strip you of the WWE Championship.
00:48:59You want me to acquiesce to that demand and your demand?
00:49:12Okay, I can guarantee you that I will not touch Drew McIntyre.
00:49:19But in the spirit of all these demands, I should ask you something.
00:49:29I feel like, Nick, I feel like you've forgotten who you're talking to.
00:49:36Right?
00:49:38Ask our mutual friend Wade Barrett right there who you're talking to.
00:49:42Ask Marty on the camera who you're talking to.
00:49:45You should say my name because you know it.
00:49:48I'm the one who sent the tweet that changed the game.
00:49:51I'm the one who came back here and run the Royal Rumble not once but twice.
00:49:55I am the reigning king of the ring.
00:49:58I unseated the tribal chief Roman Reigns and I even defeated the greatest of all time, John Cena, for this title.
00:50:06I'm QB1, damn it.
00:50:13And here you are saying that I'm not above the law as long as I have this title.
00:50:18I am the law.
00:50:23Mr. Aldis, my friend, your demand, his demand, remember one thing, while I am holding this, I don't work for you, I work for them.
00:50:39And you, my friend, you work for me.
00:50:44Cody Rhodes is one bad, bad dude.
00:50:53Never forget that, Nick Aldis, QB1, and the WWE champ, the man who changed the game.
00:51:01Hey, listen, Melo.
00:51:08I'm not usually the type of person who settles for others, like being the United States champion.
00:51:15Usually people come out and settle for me, but after what you did for me last week, I just wanted to say thank you.
00:51:23Thank you, really.
00:51:25Look, don't even mention it, all right?
00:51:27Tommaso screwed me out that championship, so I had to go and get it back in blood.
00:51:30The issue with Johnny Gargano, he just happened to be collateral.
00:51:33Plus, all that jumping people from behind, you know I don't play that.
00:51:36Nah.
00:51:37Not anymore.
00:51:38Not anymore.
00:51:39But listen, tonight we fight DIY in that ring, and tonight we put them down.
00:51:48Hello, boys.
00:51:49Well, we just wanted to wish you good luck tonight, but do us a favor, okay?
00:51:55Save some for us.
00:51:56Yeah, we kind of want to DIY ourselves, but I don't know, I guess you guys jumped the queue or something.
00:52:02What we're saying is that they stole my mask, and they need to pay for it.
00:52:06Oh, okay, okay, okay.
00:52:07Look, you're talking to the wrong two guys.
00:52:09Uh, we got our own backs, and we won't miss.
00:52:12Well, in case you guys do miss, we'll be there.
00:52:17Okay, listen, gentlemen.
00:52:19DIY asked for this battle, and if they ask for a battle, they will get a battle.
00:52:24And especially after last week when Ciampa made me bleed.
00:52:27He is not just a jackass anymore.
00:52:30Now, he is my prey.
00:52:36So let's go.
00:52:37Let's go.
00:52:39Suerte.
00:52:42What does that mean?
00:52:43I love my prey.
00:52:45T-R-1.
00:52:52One, two, three, four.
00:52:53Let's go.
00:52:58One, two, three, four.
00:53:04Let's go.
00:53:06One, two, three, four.
00:53:08The bubble is a tag team match to the 4-1 core.
00:53:12Introducing first, a company by Candice LeRae,
00:53:18the team of Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, D-I-Y.
00:53:28The two-time WWE Tag Team Champions.
00:53:36Ciampa and Gargano against Ilya Dragunov and Carmelo Hayes.
00:53:41Ilya Dragunov and Carmelo Hayes.
00:54:11Ciampa and Gargano with Candice LeRae focused and ready for what should be a great match opposite
00:54:20opponents who definitely want a piece of them.
00:54:23Come on!
00:54:33Come on!
00:54:35Come on!
00:54:38Come on!
00:54:43I'm the greatest, ain't no hatin', I'm the best pick.
00:54:45You want your shot, well I guess you wait till next year.
00:54:48I'm at the top, get respect while I get big.
00:54:51Who got a problem, huh?
00:54:53Tell them to step in.
00:54:54Step in.
00:54:56What?
00:54:56Yeah.
00:54:57Cause I'm the greatest, the one who ain't the best.
00:54:59And their opponents, the team of Carmelo Hayes and the United States
00:55:07Champion, Ilya Dragunov.
00:55:13Well, the Matt Dragonweight has kept up the great standards of the US
00:55:17Championship and being a fighting champion, but thank goodness Carmelo Hayes
00:55:21was nearby a week ago.
00:55:22Yeah, this was last week on SmackDown.
00:55:25Ciampa taking on Ilya Dragunov for the United States Championship.
00:55:30A lot of extracurriculars on the outside, but it was an absolute war inside the
00:55:35ring with Ilya Dragunov, the champ, managing to pull out a win with this
00:55:41very quick pin against Ciampa.
00:55:43But hold the celebrations, guys, because DIY were rather unhappy with the result.
00:55:49But thankfully for Dragunov, another victim of DIYs came out to lend a hand in.
00:55:56Carmelo Hayes evening the odds, and this has led us to tonight.
00:56:00And I'm the best pick.
00:56:02You watch your shot, well I guess you wait till next.
00:56:05Right to action, not wasting any time.
00:56:08One, two, three.
00:56:11A great hand after great hand from Carmelo Hayes against Johnny Gargano.
00:56:15Well, Hayes and Dragunov just know this duo only too well and
00:56:19were fully aware there was likely to be a cheap shot start.
00:56:23They were lying in wait, ready for it.
00:56:25There's back five now on DIY.
00:56:28What momentum that was created that time.
00:56:31And now Dragunov comes in with a knee.
00:56:33It is non-stop against Ciampa.
00:56:37Dragunov, a man who doesn't normally like to team with other people.
00:56:42However, 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.
00:56:50I'll say this about Ilya Dragunov, he is perhaps the most fightingest of fighting champs I've ever seen, insisting he goes to Raw every single week.
00:57:02I love it, it has been awesome to watch what he has done with his title reign, we saw him against Ciampa recently.
00:57:09Ciampa who campaigned for weeks and weeks to get that opportunity, highly distraught that it went begging thanks to the skills of Ilya Dragunov.
00:57:20Now looking to take out some revenge this week, but it's not going well.
00:57:26No, it isn't.
00:57:27Hayes revving that engine and delivering with the leg drop.
00:57:35He hooks the leg in the cover and quickly Ciampa out of it.
00:57:39Of course Carmelo Hayes did a hell of a job in his match against Ilya Dragunov, but close to winning the thing.
00:57:44That was until involvement from Tommaso Ciampa, which Ilya Dragunov didn't actually see, but it helped Ilya Dragunov end up winning the match.
00:57:52Now, the aftermath of that, of course, Ilya was kind of disgusting that he won it in such a way.
00:57:58So maybe at some point Carmelo Hayes and Dragunov will meet again.
00:58:03I know the world would love that, but for now, business to take care of in the form of DIY.
00:58:08Yeah, that was back on December 5th, and as you mentioned, it goes against the grain of everything he is.
00:58:13Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:58:14As soon as our official's back was turned, Johnny Gargano up on the apron to tear him down.
00:58:20Oh no!
00:58:22That is just a DIY way as the jaw of Ilya Dragunov may have just shattered against our desk.
00:58:34Pat yourself on the back, DIY.
00:58:46Wade in for Michael Cole and Corey Graves here on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:58:50A week ago, Tommaso Ciampa lost in the United States Championship match against Ilya Dragunov but was attacked afterwards.
00:58:57Carmelo Hayes came to his aid, and now tag team action between these four former NXT Champions League.
00:59:08And it has been all DIY ever since Candice LeRae got involved, and they've been putting a stomping on Ilya Dragunov ever since.
00:59:17But Ilya Dragunov finally showing some signs of life.
00:59:22Is he ever?
00:59:24Constantine Special Dragunov.
00:59:26Does 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?
00:59:36Hayes is ready to explode.
00:59:39Here he comes after Gargano and delivers to Ciampa.
00:59:46What a chop.
00:59:47Backs him up to the ropes.
00:59:50Oh man, oh man, springboard.
00:59:53Like a cat.
00:59:56Would you look at this from Hayes.
00:59:58La Mystica.
01:00:00I'm gonna tell you something, the movement of Carmelo Hayes is just governed by a different set of rules to everyone else on planet Earth.
01:00:08Oh my God.
01:00:09Yeah, there is no gravity.
01:00:10Sticks the land in two.
01:00:13Meanwhile, the Mad Dragon.
01:00:17Massive senton off the top.
01:00:19To put it away.
01:00:21That high-flying senton after everything Carmelo Hayes did.
01:00:28Check this action out.
01:00:30Carmelo Hayes taken out Ciampa and sticking the landing.
01:00:33And then this sky-high senton from the top rope right to the midsection of Gargano.
01:00:40Not quite enough to put away DIY, but you feel that it's getting closer and closer.
01:00:48What an amazing powers of recovery here from the Mad Dragon.
01:00:51Shows exactly why he is an almost unbeatable United States champ at times.
01:00:56With a tag there.
01:00:57I don't think Gargano saw it.
01:00:59Hayes.
01:01:00Out of the way is Johnny.
01:01:03Oh, they got him in a compromised position in that corner.
01:01:06And a super kick.
01:01:07And now DIY gains some momentum.
01:01:10Do they ever?
01:01:12That mistake there from Carmelo Hayes.
01:01:15Oh!
01:01:16Nasty, nasty landing there.
01:01:18Project Ciampa.
01:01:19Off the Project Ciampa right into the cover.
01:01:21And meanwhile the Mad Dragon saves it.
01:01:23That powerbomb onto the knees is something that Project Ciampa.
01:01:27Time and again we've seen the success he has with it.
01:01:30It's a match winner if not really a dragon off.
01:01:32And now this one's spilling out all over the place.
01:01:34Oh!
01:01:35Right into the post.
01:01:36It's Ciampa and Hayes who are legal.
01:01:38And Ciampa now going in for the kill.
01:01:40He takes down that knee pad.
01:01:42But Carmelo Hayes smart enough to see it coming.
01:01:52Oh!
01:01:53Candice LeRae.
01:01:54LeRae in full behind the referee's back.
01:01:57And there's a KO blow to the temple.
01:01:59This could be over because of that.
01:02:02Hayes able to get the shoulder up.
01:02:05And Ciampa's in complete disbelief.
01:02:08With Dragunov down.
01:02:09Dragunov may be out.
01:02:11But now the double whammy.
01:02:14Very tail ending.
01:02:15Right here.
01:02:19He survives it again.
01:02:21Talk about the toughness of Carmelo Hayes.
01:02:23That move has put so many away.
01:02:26But now I've got a feeling this might be the ending.
01:02:30Right in the middle.
01:02:31This will be over right here from DIY Wade.
01:02:34Slow down.
01:02:37Oh!
01:02:38Oh no!
01:02:39Dragunov!
01:02:40How about at first 48?
01:02:43This one twisting back and forth.
01:02:45Such movement.
01:02:46So many swings.
01:02:48H-Bopp delivered!
01:02:51The Mad Dragon!
01:02:52But they're not done yet!
01:02:55Nothing but net as big as he can go!
01:03:04Here are your winners, the team of Carmelo Hayes and the United States Champion,
01:03:18Ilya Dragunov!
01:03:19Ilya Dragunov!
01:03:24Well, instant chemistry from these two victors against a veteran tag team who've been together over 10 years.
01:03:31It needed a mind-blowing performance and we got it!
01:03:35And glorious victory for Ilya Dragunov and Carmelo Hayes!
01:03:40Excuse me, Alexa, Charlotte, can I get a comment on why you guys attacked Nia Jax and Lash Legend earlier tonight?
01:03:50I mean, what message are you trying to send?
01:03:53The message that if you look too far in the future, you tend to forget who's standing right in front of you.
01:03:57Now, 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.
01:04:03But they're not.
01:04:04They're in our way.
01:04:05And whoever wins the tag team championships will be waiting.
01:04:08Okay, thank you.
01:04:18Actually, Jade.
01:04:19Jade.
01:04:21Since you're here, is there anything you'd like to say about attacking Meechan last week on SmackDown?
01:04:26It's okay.
01:04:27It's the season.
01:04:28So, I guess I'll say something nice.
01:04:30I was shocked to see Meechan get back up after I knocked her down.
01:04:34Now, she and the rest, they gonna take these Ls.
01:04:38Now, I'm big on charity, so I'm gonna give her a little spotlight.
01:04:42And then, I'm gonna knock her lights out.
01:04:46Now, we done?
01:04:48Yeah.
01:04:51I can't scratch sleep.
01:04:52It seems like you forgot.
01:04:53Let me remind you.
01:04:54What are you doing?
01:04:56Get out!
01:04:57Get out!
01:04:58Get out!
01:04:59Get out!

01:05:18Get out!
01:05:19Get out!
01:05:20Get out!
01:05:21Get out!
01:05:22Solo Sokoa has made his statement.
01:05:25Can they deliver?
01:05:27We find out on Friday Night SmackDown.
01:05:33A reminder, when the new year starts,
01:05:36you get even more Friday Night SmackDown
01:05:39as SmackDown will move to three hours
01:05:41starting on January 2nd.
01:05:43Let's tell you what you're in store for
01:05:45on next week's Friday Night SmackDown.
01:05:48We just saw him perform in tag action.
01:05:51He never gets a week off,
01:05:53but that is how he likes it.
01:05:55The United States Championship will be on the line
01:05:57in an open challenge
01:05:59as Ilya Dragunov defends against...
01:06:02Well, we'll find out next week.
01:06:04And just say his name.
01:06:06Don't say it! Don't say it!
01:06:07After all the controversy with The Miz
01:06:09and what happened in the last time is now tournament.
01:06:12It's a battle between Joe Hendry and The Miz.
01:06:15We all believe.
01:06:17And of course, the Scottish psychopath himself
01:06:21a victim of a home invasion
01:06:23from WWE champ Cody Rhodes.
01:06:27Post-suspension, Drew McIntyre returns to SmackDown next week.
01:06:32Howdy.
01:06:38You talk a whole lot of nonsense
01:06:40about absolutely nothing.
01:06:43But when you threaten my family,
01:06:45that's when we got a problem.
01:06:48You think this is a game, huh?
01:06:50When it comes to my family,
01:06:51I don't play no damn games.
01:06:53You understand me?
01:06:54We are going to humiliate you,
01:06:57embarrass you in front of the whole wide world.
01:07:01Wait.
01:07:03You hear that?
01:07:04Can you hear that?
01:07:05The Fireflies are here.
01:07:14And they are going to watch us take those tag team titles.
01:07:20Because whether they like it or not,
01:07:23I've got the whole world
01:07:27in my hands.
01:07:32He's got the whole world
01:07:34in his hands.
01:07:37Well, that is one way to get under the skin of Uncle Howdy
01:07:47and the Wyatt Six.
01:07:50But it's something Solo Sokoa does better than anyone.
01:07:54Does he ever.
01:08:11The following contest is scheduled for one call.
01:08:14And he's for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
01:08:22Introducing the challenges.
01:08:24Accompanied by Solo Sokoa, the MMT.
01:08:34Look at that face of Solo Sokoa.
01:08:37I draw the note.
01:08:39Strong message delivers Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Six.
01:08:43The WWE Tag Team Championship match
01:08:48is next.
01:08:49I give it all.
01:08:54I am controlling the cage.
01:08:57A tomorrow night,
01:09:01Triple A.
01:09:03Guerra de Titanis.
01:09:04It will be streaming live,
01:09:069 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Pacific
01:09:08on WWE's YouTube channel.
01:09:10And WWE Espanol,
01:09:12Dominic Mysterio will be in action.
01:09:14El Grande, Americano,
01:09:15Dragon Lee,
01:09:16and many more.
01:09:18The best of Triple A.
01:09:20Tomorrow might not come
01:09:21for one of the two teams
01:09:23we have in action
01:09:24because it looks like
01:09:26the MFTs are ready for war.
01:09:28And the MFTs are in action.
01:09:54Keep it really on your face
01:09:59The little details matter
01:10:02I'll be mad
01:10:04I'll be mad
01:10:08I'll be mad
01:10:12I'll be mad
01:10:16I'll be mad
01:10:18I'll be mad
01:10:48Six have heard everything that Solo Sokoa has said
01:10:52Dexter Loomis and Joe Gacy with those belts in hand
01:10:57Gold on the line here on SmackDown
01:11:01What a war of words for months now
01:11:05Joe attempts at intimidation from both sides
01:11:09Finally a rather ungentlemanly agreement
01:11:12For this championship opportunity
01:11:14And of course the Wyatts targeted Solo Sokoa
01:11:18And the MFTs several months back
01:11:21Unimpressed with how Solo Sokoa treats his family
01:11:25Solo Sokoa didn't particularly like his original family
01:11:29So he traded them in for the MFTs
01:11:32Got himself a new one
01:11:33And these MFTs are a majorly dangerous unit
01:11:38In every way
01:11:39Needs a couple of right uppercuts as Loomis stalks his prey
01:11:45Watch out, watch out
01:11:46Neatness of Dexter Loomis
01:11:50That's one word to use
01:11:51Yeah, that's a euphemism for a lot of other things we could say, isn't it?
01:11:56But as odd as he is, as unnerving as he is
01:11:59Utterly devastating in that ring
01:12:02Jumps back with the leg drop
01:12:04And quickly tried to hook the leg
01:12:05And end things early here
01:12:07Don't be thrown by the oddness
01:12:09Of the Wyatt Six in that ring
01:12:12They are technically astute
01:12:14Joe Gacy, a major powerhouse in his own right
01:12:17Having to put his body on the line in pursuit of victory
01:12:20For a hardcore style of wrestler
01:12:23Just a good brawl
01:12:26He's gonna get that and more tonight
01:12:28From Tonga Loa
01:12:29And of course
01:12:30His other partner tonight
01:12:31JC Mateo
01:12:33And JC Mateo
01:12:39The powerhouse
01:12:40Is now into some action of his own
01:12:43JC Mateo might be the most trusted soldier of Solo Sokoa's
01:12:49He was the first piece of Solo Sokoa's rebuild
01:12:52When he put this MFT unit together
01:12:55And he's been utterly devastating ever since
01:12:58Just a ball of muscles
01:13:00To get an outmaneuver now by Joe Gacy
01:13:03Gacy delivers the drop kick
01:13:04And now tags Dexter Loomis
01:13:06Let's see the teamwork from the Wyatt Six in action here
01:13:09To show exactly why they are the tag team champions
01:13:13That's what you get
01:13:14With Loomis and Gacy
01:13:17And the senton
01:13:19As he comes off the ropes
01:13:20Lateral press in the hook of the leg
01:13:22And rolling out to safety is
01:13:25JC Mateo
01:13:27Having time to talk a little tactics on the outside here
01:13:30As Solo Sokoa has made himself comfortable
01:13:33And we're still outshadowed by the massive presence of talent
01:13:37Every time I've looked to my left here
01:13:40I'm always a little concerned about his ringside
01:13:43Mateo just able to get out of the way
01:13:47As Joe Gacy was charging
01:13:49Oh, man
01:13:50Giant arm of Tonga Loa
01:13:55Clothing across the face
01:13:57Oh, God
01:13:57Look at this, look at the power
01:14:00Oh, right into the post
01:14:02And then throws him down to the floor
01:14:04No way to break someone's spine
01:14:07JC Mateo
01:14:09Look at this stupid, huh?
01:14:10That's what I'm talking about
01:14:11Imposing Tonga Loa taking advantage here
01:14:18WWE Tag Team Championship match
01:14:20Solo Sokoa has put forth his MFTs
01:14:24He says they have walked in ready for war
01:14:26They're gonna walk out as the new champions over the Wyatt Six
01:14:31And their respective units are looking on
01:14:34Could be right here
01:14:35Hopefully or in desperation in the case of the Wyatt Six
01:14:39As the Tag Team Championships hang in the balance here
01:14:43But they are undeniably moving closer and closer to the coaches of the MFTs
01:14:49Who've looked completely dominant since getting the upper hand
01:14:52Just glanced over what we saw
01:14:53That moment, Uncle Howdy, the concern on his face
01:14:56Big Eric Rowan and Nikki Cross
01:14:58Because in the ring right now
01:15:00Dexter Loomis over in that corner
01:15:02Where he cannot escape Loa and JC Mateo
01:15:05I can't imagine either of these sides
01:15:07Either going back to Uncle Howdy or to Solo Sokoa
01:15:10Having disappointed them in this match
01:15:13Both teams know they better win this thing
01:15:16Solo Sokoa has been very outspoken
01:15:20Directing those messages straight to Uncle Howdy
01:15:23The message is clear
01:15:25The entire mentality of the MFTs
01:15:29Is the acquisition of every single piece of gold here on SmackDown
01:15:34Well, this could be the first piece of the puzzle
01:15:36Slam and right to the cover, Mateo
01:15:40And now he hooks the leg
01:15:43But can't capture gold
01:15:45You can see the frustration on his face for a moment there
01:15:48As back to work he goes
01:15:49Just a human battering ram
01:15:52And right now the body of Dexter Loomis
01:15:55Has taken a devastating battering
01:15:57Over the past several minutes
01:15:59But it does not get easier
01:16:01When the massive Tonga Loa gets in there
01:16:04Nothing technical, nothing pretty about Tonga Loa
01:16:08More likely to rip your eyeballs out
01:16:10Than a player
01:16:11Technical hold
01:16:12Caving the rim cage of Dexter Loomis
01:16:16Absolutely
01:16:17And they are coming closer and closer to capturing the tag team championships
01:16:23Tonga Loa is getting closer and closer to becoming unglued with frustration
01:16:27He knows full well
01:16:28There should be these clutches by now
01:16:31But taking a beat too long to do anything about it
01:16:34And getting tagged on the jaw
01:16:35Well, he gets dragged back by the waist
01:16:38As he was just about to get to Joe Gacy
01:16:40Look how nimble Dexter Loomis is
01:16:43Finishing up with that super kick to the jaw of J.C. Mateo
01:16:47Boy, oh boy, do they need this tag
01:16:50Here he comes
01:16:52Joe Gacy
01:16:53God, that lunatic Nikki Cross is running around the outside of the ring too
01:16:58I'll try and focus on the match
01:16:59Look at Gacy
01:17:00Rallying back to Wyatt Six
01:17:03Look at what he's able to do to Mateo
01:17:05Giving the suplex specialist a taste of his own medicine
01:17:09Massive right hand from Gacy
01:17:13And showing you just enough power
01:17:19And grit
01:17:20Oh, but cannot retain right there
01:17:22Stalling Saito's suplex against a man the size of Jace
01:17:27What the hell?
01:17:28Getting out of the way was J.C. Mateo
01:17:31Off that springboard attempt
01:17:33Oh
01:17:34And this could be it for gold right here
01:17:38Getting that left shoulder up
01:17:40So much talk in that side suplex from J.C. Mateo
01:17:44The former Olympian
01:17:45Gacy at his best
01:17:47Unfeasible athleticism from Joe Gacy
01:17:54And that was about to take two Tangaloa
01:17:56Tangaloa gets some
01:17:58Joe Gacy
01:17:59One man showing it right now
01:18:02You can't judge a butt by its cover when it comes to Joe Gacy
01:18:06This guy can do some crazy stuff
01:18:08Like that
01:18:09Throwing his body on the line
01:18:12Taking out two men in one go
01:18:15And perhaps giving the opportunity for the Wyatt Six to finish this thing for good
01:18:20And now everything Solo Sokoa said
01:18:23Could go the other way right here
01:18:26Suplex powerbomb combo
01:18:28And J.C. Mateo may be out
01:18:30But why not look up with the win, Joe Tass?
01:18:34Loomis is gonna fly away
01:18:36This to hold on to go
01:18:39And the save
01:18:41Well, Tongaloa had to be on point with that break up
01:18:45Because why that was J.C. Mateo
01:18:48And now we're going
01:18:48Oh, no
01:18:49And that's behind the referees back
01:18:51The massive Tongaloa
01:18:53Keep your eyes open though
01:18:54Rowan takes him out
01:18:55Oh, it's on
01:18:57It is on on the floor
01:18:58It was a matter of
01:19:01It is an all out brawl between the MFTs
01:19:12And the Wyatt Six
01:19:13This is craziness here
01:19:17Pandemonium breaking out
01:19:20In our main event
01:19:21This one has been thrown out by the referee
01:19:23Good luck getting control of this
01:19:26We need a stun gun
01:19:27We need tasers
01:19:29We need tear gas
01:19:30We need riot police
01:19:32This is out of control, Baron
01:19:34Absolutely out of control
01:19:36It's been bubbling up for weeks
01:19:39Tolantaga was out on the floor
01:19:43He did damage
01:19:45And Big Rowan said
01:19:47Not so fast
01:19:48And now everywhere you look
01:19:51They are flying at each other
01:19:53Now the two bosses
01:19:54Uncle Howdy and Solo
01:19:55Sokoa getting into it too
01:19:57Who would want to be in the
01:20:00Front row for this
01:20:01Keep well back
01:20:03As they send it
01:20:04Joe Casey as well
01:20:05In the numbers game
01:20:06In the center of the ring
01:20:07Oh, the numbers game
01:20:08Talk about a numbers game
01:20:10Teller Tonga
01:20:11Is a one-man numbers game
01:20:14And he's going up top
01:20:15He's almost seven foot tall
01:20:17Oh, a cross-body wipeout
01:20:21A cross-body wipeout
01:20:21Oh
01:20:22Throw in with a dropkick
01:20:30Well, why a six-eight
01:20:32We got a monster of our own
01:20:35And Eric Rowan
01:20:36Nikki wants a piece of it
01:20:44She says, I want in
01:20:46She's out of her damn mind
01:20:48That's why
01:20:48A Nikki bomb
01:20:51Oh, a big spike
01:20:59A Samoan spike
01:21:00A Samoan spike
01:21:02A Samoan spike
01:21:02Turn around, Solo
01:21:05Guess who's there
01:21:08Sister Abigail
01:21:10Oh
01:21:11Wyatt Six
01:21:16MLT's
01:21:18Absolutely wild
