00:03:50I'm going to close this over to you all, guys.
00:04:18Good evening, everybody.
00:04:20Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett as we welcome you to Friday Night SmackDown.
00:04:24Wade, we're very much still in the afterglow of Saturday night's main event, John Cena's
00:04:28final match, but tonight we shift our focus to Cody Rhodes.
00:04:33Now, his match in Washington, D.C. last Saturday night was truncated.
00:04:37Another attack by Drew McIntyre, but it didn't end there between Cody and Drew.
00:04:43And we'll take a look at the explosive altercation that took place at Drew McIntyre's home this
00:04:49past week later on tonight.
00:04:52And look who is here.
00:04:54The 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 Pehae.
00:05:09Plus, 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.
00:06:23Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Damian Priest.
00:06:33Wait, Damian Priest's 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 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 about to play down that Riptide.
00:07:19Zelina up nearly over her head to deliver that.
00:07:23Too 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.
00:08:02I 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 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.
00:08:32Thank you, Cena.
00:08:34Thank you, Cena.
00:08:36Thank you, Cena.
00:08:40Thank you, Cena.
00:08:43Thank you, Cena.
00:08:46Thank you, Cena.
00:08:47I 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.
00:09:06Yeah, that business has been handled.
00:09:09So now, we can look to 2026.
00:09:12And in 2026, I'm...
00:09:14Oh, Damien.
00:09:20You are such a hypocrite.
00:09:27You really think that getting your mommy to fight your battles for you makes you a real man?
00:09:37Newsflash, you didn't even get the pin.
00:09:42And you call that salvation?
00:09:46You just can't stand the fact that Aleister broke you.
00:09:52You 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 Damien Priest and he's beating him down.
00:10:19What a sneak attack.
00:10:22Aided 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 Aleister 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.
00:10:47Muatai strikes of Aleister Black coming to the fore once again.
00:10:52This is one dangerous man, but caught in midair.
00:10:56And driven south of heaven.
00:10:58On to the apron, south of heaven.
00:11:07Come on, Priest.
00:11:10Reaching under the ring.
00:11:14This crowd's going to explode.
00:11:17Nothing more they want to see than that.
00:11:21Damien Priest apparently looking to finish the Aleister Black problem off for good.
00:11:26Well, 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!
00:11:40The table just not cooperating with Damien Priest.
00:11:44Taken advantage briefly was Aleister Black.
00:11:48But here we go!
00:11:49No!
00:11:50Right into the post.
00:11:51Desperate strut.
00:11:53Oh!
00:11:54One of these big kicks by Aleister Black.
00:11:56You know the damage they can do, Wade.
00:11:58Ground pass right to the temple of Damien Priest.
00:12:03Who 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.
00:12:10Again, now up on the apron.
00:12:12Absolute scramble this is.
00:12:13The double knees off the apron, right through the table.
00:12:26The damage done.
00:12:28Black himself reaching for his leg as Damien Priest threw the table.
00:12:36Think of that left Aleister Black in pain.
00:12:39Just imagine what it did to Damien Priest who got jumped tonight by Aleister Black and Zelina.
00:12:46Let's go backstage to Byron Saxon.
00:12:52Joe, Wade, thank you so much.
00:12:54I'm standing by with the pairing of Last Legend and Nia Jax.
00:12:57Last, I do want to start with you and deliver you your flowers and congratulate you on the upset victory over...
00:13:04Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:13:04Skirt, what are you talking about upset Byron?
00:13:07When she clearly beat Alexibus Handily.
00:13:10Tell him, Lash.
00:13:12Exactly.
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.
00:13:27Mm-hmm.
00:13:27And once we annihilate the Kabuki Warriors, we are going to slide into that tag team championship match
00:13:33and become the new tag team champions.
00:13:35I should point out that Rhea Ripley and Io Sky do have an upcoming tag team title opportunity,
00:13:41so you may have to...
00:13:42As you gotta point out...
00:13:44You'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 Charlexa.
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.
00:14:06Well, actually, I'm giving wrapping paper.
00:14:11A couple of Santa's little alpers right there.
00:14:13Well, here's a couple of ladies who don't help anybody but themselves.
00:14:18No, they don't.
00:14:19The following is a tag team match for the fourth one ball.
00:14:26Introducing first, they are the women's tag team champions.
00:14:34Asuka and Kairi Zane, the Kabuki Warriors.
00:14:42The Kabuki Warriors against Nia Jax and Lash Legend when we return to Friday Night SmackDown.
00:14:54Asuka and Kairi Zane, the Club Kairi Zane is the jog for the third of the beginning.
00:15:12I know.
00:15:13I've checked, I haven't checked yet.
00:15:15I can't cash.
00:15:16Take a look!
00:15:18Back open and go!
00:15:20I can't....
00:15:22Get back, get back, get back, let's do it.
00:15:26Get back! Get back!
00:15:29That's enough!
00:15:31Oh, son!
00:15:32No, no, no!
00:15:34Get back, get back!
00:15:36Let him do it!
00:15:37Come on!
00:15:38Let him do it!
00:15:39Stay back!
00:15:40Stay back!
00:15:41It's time for me to end this, come on!
00:15:44Oh, son!
00:15:46Hey!
00:15:47Get back!
00:15:48Let's do it!
00:15:49Do you want that?
00:15:51Go!
00:15:52Go!
00:15:53Go!
00:15:54Go!
00:15:55Go!
00:15:56Go!
00:15:57Go!
00:15:58Go!
00:15:59Get back!
00:16:00Get back!
00:16:01Hey!
00:16:02Get out of here!
00:16:03Get out of here!
00:16:04Get out of here!
00:16:05Now, the Kabuki Warriors, just a matter of days ago, an attack with Rhea and Io again tonight,
00:16:14a far different challenge.
00:16:16Prince size of perhaps the most intimidating new tag team in the division.
00:16:20Go!
00:16:21Go!
00:16:22Go!
00:16:23Go!
00:16:24Go!
00:16:25Go!
00:16:26Go!
00:16:27Go!
00:16:27Go!
00:16:28Come!
00:16:30Go!
00:16:45It's the team of Lash Legend and Nia Jax.
00:16:54Instantly wait as dangerous of 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
00:17:13with Charlotte Flair, who was then taken down by Lash Legend.
00:17:18The power of Lash Legend proving too much took over.
00:17:23And one Lash extension later,
00:17:26the new powerhouse on the block scored the biggest singles win of her career.
00:17:35Lash Legend, the former college of pro basketball star,
00:17:39she has been on a rocket ride of success and impressive outings.
00:17:43in the ring.
00:17:44So here are the former teammates from Survivor Series War Games.
00:17:48Now, opposite each other is everybody has eyes on those Tag Team Championships.
00:17:59Joe 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.
00:18:13Now, 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, and outmaneuvering her, Kairi Sane is at this point in the match.
00:18:52Now, here's what she does best.
00:18:54Off the top rope.
00:18:55Oh, but would you look at the strength and power of the former first-team All-SEC athlete?
00:19:04Sane, able to reverse it.
00:19:06Legend trying to keep that body control.
00:19:09Brilliant.
00:19:09Wow.
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.
00:19:17Using power to advantage, but denied once again.
00:19:21Through the veteran wiles of Kairi Sane.
00:19:24Highly beneficial in the early cards.
00:19:27Oh, my God.
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,
00:20:05causing chaos at ringside during that showdown.
00:20:08And clearly, Lash and Jax feel their own a little something when it comes to that gold.
00:20:15You're going to earn that opportunity now, perhaps.
00:20:16The teamwork from Asuka and Kairi.
00:20:20Here'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.
00:20:34And this woman might be the greatest striker in women's combat history.
00:20:39The 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.
00:20:54Walks right into the big boot, though.
00:20:55Opportunity for Asuka.
00:20:58Hailing that lung blower completely rocking Nia Jax.
00:21:01But Jax, of course, still on her feet.
00:21:04Might change now, though.
00:21:06Double dropkick sends Nia Jax out of the ring.
00:21:10This one breaking down in a hurry.
00:21:13Lash 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.
00:21:28Out to the floor.
00:21:29Are you kidding me?
00:21:32Takes them both out.
00:21:34Asuka and Kyrie Sane.
00:21:37Look at her fly.
00:21:38Back 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 pumpkin right to the jaw of the pirate princess.
00:22:06Who's not looked quite the same ever since.
00:22:08And now ready to drop that hammer is the Bougie Bully.
00:22:12And Lash 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.
00:22:36Of course, the early part of her athletic success was on the hardwoods.
00:22:39She 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.
00:22:50And 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.
00:23:05She is explosive.
00:23:06She is tough.
00:23:07As Nia just dismisses Asuka from the apron.
00:23:11The 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 pick the exact right spot to find a woman at home.
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.
00:23:44But Kairi Sane pulling out a tag at the most vital moment.
00:23:49And in comes Asuka.
00:23:50Here she is.
00:23:51Missile 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.
00:24:11Denies the Samoan drop.
00:24:14And now the striking combination from one of the best to ever do it.
00:24:18It 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.
00:24:34Trying to get out the back door.
00:24:38Oh!
00:24:38Missing.
00:24:40The drop is Jax.
00:24:41And instead, Asuka delivers.
00:24:44And the save by Lash Legend.
00:24:48Incredible speed there from some of the size of Lash Legend that it needed to be.
00:24:52But 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.
00:25:19Asuka trying to rally here as best she can.
00:25:22Effectively be two on one.
00:25:25There'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.
00:25:37By 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.
00:25:55And what a fun it was.
00:25:56Oh.
00:25:57Oh, what a scramble.
00:25:58These two are not legal.
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 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.
00:26:24Oh.
00:26:24Devastating chokeslam.
00:26:28And now dragging the carcass of Kairi Sane into what may well be the end.
00:26:34Looking for the Annihilator and delivering.
00:26:36One, two, three.
00:26:38And just like that.
00:26:40Here are your winners.
00:26:44The team of Lash Legend and Nia Chex.
00:26:51While the tag champs, the Kabuki Warriors have a date with Desk.
00:26:56Oh, wait a minute.
00:26:58Not 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.
00:27:14Jax and Lash Legend.
00:27:16Look at Alexa.
00:27:17Taking it right to Lash Legend.
00:27:20A week ago, you know exactly what happened when they met up.
00:27:23With 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.
00:27:34Look at the teamwork.
00:27:37The 14-time world champion putting Lash Legend right into that drop zone.
00:27:45Oh, but Nia Chex clears her.
00:27:47Saving Lash Legend from certain devastation.
00:27:51Issues between these four clearly not concluded.
00:27:55They want those in their hands for good again.
00:28:05As we go backstage to Jackie Redman.
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 Mike.
00:28:17Excuse me.
00:28:18Hi.
00:28:19Kiana James.
00:28:20I don't know who you think you are.
00:28:21But over here on SmackDown, if you want to address my client, you have to go through me first.
00:28:26Okay?
00:28:27Okay.
00:28:27I'm sorry.
00:28:28I don't normally do this show.
00:28:31Can I please speak with your client, Julia?
00:28:33You may.
00:28:34But don't make this mistake again.
00:28:37Okay.
00:28:37Please welcome my guest.
00:28:39Former Women's United States Champion, Julia.
00:28:42Julia, thanks for the time.
00:28:43You'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.
00:28:54If you want to hide with the Women's U.S. title, okay, I will take out Alba Fire.
00:29:03Chelsea, time is running out.
00:29:07Arrivederci.
00:29:08Madonna.
00:29:16When we return, it has social media roaring with curiosity.
00:29:21Take a look at the explosive operation that took place at Drew McIntyre's home this past week.
00:29:26That's Nets.
00:29:29Pulled in D.C.
00:29:30Really questioning why I still came, but Cody wants you reinstated.
00:29:37We all want you reinstated.
00:29:39You're a top talent in WWE, obviously.
00:29:43An integral part of SmackDown.
00:29:45So, I have a proposal.
00:29:49I think that you're going to like the terms.
00:29:51You get a one-on-one match with WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
00:29:58The title will be on the line.
00:30:01And, secondly, to show our officials and the WWE Universe that you've repented,
00:30:09I'd like a public apology to Dan Angler for that heinous attack.
00:30:14He's lucky he's not in intensive care.
00:30:19There's also a hefty fine.
00:30:22But, I think that your payday from Survivor Series War Games should just about cover that.
00:30:29So, those are the terms.
00:30:32Take it or leave it.
00:30:34I get my match.
00:30:36The WWE Championship.
00:30:38Yes.
00:30:41The thing I want more than anything.
00:30:44I've got no choice.
00:30:47No.
00:30:50Absolutely not.
00:30:51No.
00:30:52No.
00:30:52This is what Cody wants.
00:30:54This is what you want.
00:30:55You've created an unsafe working environment.
00:30:59I accept these terms.
00:31:01I'm just going to get screwed again.
00:31:03So, no.
00:31:05I don't accept your terms.
00:31:07Instead of another monologue about all the ways you've been screwed,
00:31:10why don't you just tell me what you want?
00:31:12Okay.
00:31:12What I want is what's fair.
00:31:14Fair.
00:31:15That's it.
00:31:16If I come back, if I come back, I get my WWE Championship match with Cody Rhodes.
00:31:21It's deserved.
00:31:21I'm learning how much you're willing to protect your golden boy, but I want to pick the stipulation.
00:31:29I can live with that.
00:31:30Okay.
00:31:30And last, but no means least, I want you to fly back to Stamford, Connecticut, after we finish here.
00:31:39I want you to get your little lawyers together.
00:31:40And I want you to draw up some documents that say, Cody Rhodes cannot lay one finger on me before that championship match, or he is stripped of the WWE Championship.
00:31:55You know, I really hate this, but get the match in the ring.
00:32:03You've got a deal.
00:32:09Pleasure doing business with you, buddy.
00:32:14Come on, mate.
00:32:19How quick can I see those documents?
00:32:20How quick is it going to take to draw them up?
00:32:22Well, I have to tell Cody, and then I have to talk to legal, but maybe by the end of the day.
00:32:27End of the day.
00:32:28Fantastic.
00:32:29Fantastic.
00:32:29I should never get out of here.
00:32:31What the hell is this?
00:32:33Oh, come on, man.
00:32:36You've got to be kidding me.
00:32:38You've seriously got to be kidding me.
00:32:40My house.
00:32:41My home.
00:32:42Really, Otis.
00:32:43You set me up like this.
00:32:45You come to talk business.
00:32:46You bring him to my house.
00:32:47His family sleeps.
00:32:48Just stay there.
00:32:49I'll handle it.
00:32:50He's out there right now.
00:32:51I'll handle it.
00:32:51You can handle it.
00:32:52Handle it.
00:32:53I'll handle it.
00:32:56Why are we negotiating with that?
00:32:58What are you doing?
00:32:58Why are you here?
00:33:00You're ruining everything, Cody.
00:33:01What if I'm ruining you?
00:33:03You're seriously going to show up and make that property?
00:33:17Come on.
00:33:18Get him behind.
00:33:19Are you kidding me?
00:33:20Come down.
00:33:24Get him out of here.
00:33:26Get him out.
00:33:28He asked for it.
00:33:30He asked for it.
00:33:31Get him out.
00:33:32Hey, Merry Christmas, ass.
00:33:35I'm going to be kidding me.
00:33:37I'm doing whatever.
00:33:40I'm doing whatever.
00:33:41I have it.
00:33:42I have it.
00:33:43I have it.
00:33:47Nick, 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
00:33:56Rhodes?
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.
00:34:08Because 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.
00:34:13Because what he did was completely out of line.
00:34:15But 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.
00:34:47And don'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.
00:35:00And 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.
00:35:10I believe in Joe Pesci.
00:35:14Nick, he's just mad because I saw your British balls.
00:35:21The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:35:45Introducing 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,
00:36:36Kiyama James, not sat 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 if you want to find a pathway to the U.S. champ, Chelsea Green, first things first,
00:36:55you've got to get past the secret Hermes, and 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 with some major chicanery from Chelsea Green and her cohorts.
00:37:39It 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, I mean, she 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 when she's anywhere,
00:38:11either 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.
00:38:17Never.
00:38:18Mute button only.
00:38:19Julia 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, as 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.
00:38:51Alba Fire is so skilled in her own right.
00:38:54There you go, DDT.
00:38:56Boy, look at the impact it had on Julia.
00:38:59We make a lot of talk about how Julia really was such a dominant champion in Japan
00:39:05before she headed over to the US and got involved with NXT.
00:39:08And of course, now SmackDown.
00:39:10The same could be said of Alba Fire, who was...
00:39:14Almost 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, but 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, but too much left in the tank.
00:39:38He's able to get out of the way of that right hand.
00:39:41And now you see Julia getting a look.
00:39:42Just stretching out Alba Fire.
00:39:44Nice abdominal stretch.
00:39:46Agony etched all over the face of Alba Fire.
00:39:49Now compounding that damage.
00:39:52Those hammer elbows right into the pinning combination and then reversed this time.
00:39:56But Alba Fire, look at them going round and round.
00:39:59Shoulders are down.
00:40:00Two technical wizards in that ring.
00:40:03Going hold for hold, but completely rocked now as Alba Fire.
00:40:06And if Julia can pick up the pace or pick up the punishment, a 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.
00:40:31Julia just 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, Arriba Durche.
00:40:44That Arriba Durche knee, you know the damage it can do.
00:40:51Julia put a little something extra into it.
00:40:54To end it right here, as 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.
00:41:17And Julia 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.
00:41:31No.
00:41:33Green ends up on her backside, Wade.
00:41:36Go and help her up.
00:41:37I didn'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.
00:41:55Next.
00:42:08Listen closely, Solo.
00:42:10Your greed for status and power have led you down a dark path.
00:42:19The 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 Moxion would force you and your family to surrender.
00:43:10Hell yeah.
00:43:13WoofCOM.
00:43:13Yeah.
00:43:14The you second master this will be left.
00:43:17Your other family.
00:43:18Really?
00:43:48Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the undisputed WWE Champion,
00:44:18and we're here, Cody Rhodes!
00:44:23Wade, it has been a rollercoaster of a week for Cody Rhodes,
00:44:26and all began with that match in Washington, D.C.,
00:44:28against one of the next great ones, Oberfemi.
00:44:31Yes, Saturday night's main event, NXT champ, Oberfemi,
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 Oberfemi got involved too.
00:44:53But Ober 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.
00:45:39I question the mental state of Cody Rhodes right now.
00:45:42Clearly, Drew McIntyre firmly under the skin of the champion.
00:45:46That's how far this thing has gone.
00:45:48No, I am the day that you're just when I'm out of the field.
00:46:13Hershey, PA!
00:46:16What do you want to talk about?
00:46:25Okay, did I go to Drew McIntyre's home?
00:46:28Did a member of law enforcement get thrown into the water?
00:46:32Did things get physical?
00:46:33Yes.
00:46:36But Drew McIntyre has stated that WWE currently
00:46:40is an unsafe working environment.
00:46:45That's all of you.
00:46:52He said that we, collectively, are an unsafe working environment.
00:47:02So, Drew, you are surrounded by MMA stars,
00:47:06second-generation wrestlers, NIL, college, and pro athletes.
00:47:11What would be a safe environment for you?
00:47:15Staples?
00:47:16And 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, and 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, because you made me look like a liar.
00:48:05So, I'm telling you, this is your friend, yes, you're the champ, QB1, but 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, but you didn't.
00:48:29So, now, when Drew comes back, if he pays the fine and makes that public apology to Dan Engler,
00:48:40Cody, you can't lay a finger on Drew McIntyre.
00:48:51Or what?
00:48:53Nick, or what?
00:48:55Nick, or 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, I should ask you something.
00:49:31I feel like, Nick, I feel like you've forgotten who you're talking to.
00:49:38Right?
00:49:40Ask our mutual friend, Wade Barrett, right there, who 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.
00:50:10Damn 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, your demand, his demand.
00:50:30Remember one thing, while I am holding this, I don't work for you.
00:50:35I work for them.
00:50:37And you, my friend, you work for me.
00:50:46Cody Rhodes is one bad, bad dude.
00:50:56Never forget that, Nick Aldis, QB1.
00:50:59And the WWE champ, the man who changed the game.
00:51:10Hey, listen, Mello.
00:51:13I'm not usually the type of person who settles for others.
00:51:16Like, being the United States champion, usually people come out and settle for me,
00:51:20but after what you did for me last week, I just wanted to say thank you.
00:51:27Really.
00:51:28Look, don't even mention it, all right?
00:51:30Tommaso screwed me out of that championship, so I had to go and get it back in blood.
00:51:33The issue with Johnny Gargano, he just happened to be collateral.
00:51:36Plus, all that jumping people from behind, you know I don't play that.
00:51:39Nah, not anymore.
00:51:41Not anymore.
00:51:42But listen, tonight, we fight DIY in that ring.
00:51:47And tonight, we put them down.
00:51:52Hello, boys.
00:51:53Well, we just wanted to wish you good luck tonight, but do us a favor, okay?
00:51:58Save some for us.
00:51:59Yeah, we kind of want to DIY ourselves, but I don't know, I guess you guys jumped the queue
00:52:04or something.
00:52:05What we're saying is that they stole my mask, and they need to pay for it.
00:52:09Oh, okay, okay, okay.
00:52:10Look, you're talking to the wrong two guys.
00:52:12We got our own backs, and we won't miss.
00:52:15Well, in case you guys do miss, we'll be there.
00:52:20Okay, listen, gentlemen.
00:52:22DIY asked for this battle.
00:52:24And if they ask for a battle, they will get a battle.
00:52:27And especially after last week, when Chumpa made me bleed, he is not just a jackass anymore.
00:52:33Now, he is my prey.
00:52:39So, let's go.
00:52:40Let's go.
00:52:42Suerte.
00:52:45What does that mean?
00:52:46I love my prey.
00:52:49DIY!
00:52:541, 2, 3, 4!
00:52:57Let's go.
00:53:09The Double is a tag team match.
00:53:13Pick up for one call.
00:53:15Introducing first, accompanied by Candace Lorraine.
00:53:20The team of Johnny Gargano.
00:53:24And to Marshall Chumpa.
00:53:26D-P-I-Y.
00:53:31The two-time WWE Tag Team Champion.
00:53:38Chumpa and
00:53:39Gargano against Dillian Dragunov.
00:53:41And Carmelo Hayes coming your way down.
00:53:44You can't see me, my time is now.
00:53:50You can't see me, my time is now.
00:53:52It's the franchise, but I'm shining now.
00:53:54You can't see me, my time is now.
00:53:56You can't see me, my time is now.
00:53:58You can't see me, my time is now.
00:54:11You can't see me, my time is now.
00:54:13Chumpa and Gargano with Candace Lorraine focused and ready for what should be a great match opposite opponents who definitely want a piece of them.
00:54:25Come on!
00:54:34Come on!
00:54:41Come on!
00:54:44Cause I'm the greatest, ain't no hatin', I'm the best hit.
00:54:47You watch your shot, well I guess you wait till next year.
00:54:50I'm at the top, get respect, while I get big.
00:54:54Who got a problem, huh?
00:54:55Tell them to step hit.
00:54:57Step hit.
00:54:58One, yeah.
00:55:00Cause I'm the greatest, the one who in the day.
00:55:02And their opponents, the team of,
00:55:05Carmelo Hayes and the United States Champion,
00:55:11Ilya Dragunov.
00:55:16Well, the Mad Dragon wave has kept up the great standards of the US Championship
00:55:20and being a fighting champion,
00:55:21but thank goodness Carmelo Hayes was nearby a week ago.
00:55:25Yeah, this was last week on SmackDown.
00:55:27Ciampa taking on Ilya Dragunov for the United States Championship.
00:55:32A lot of extracurriculars on the outside,
00:55:35but it was an absolute war inside the ring with Ilya Dragunov,
00:55:39but the champ managing to pull out a win
00:55:42with this very quick pin against Ciampa.
00:55:46But hold the celebrations, guys,
00:55:48because DIY were rather unhappy with the result.
00:55:52But thankfully for Dragunov,
00:55:54another victim of DIYs came out to lend a hand in Carmelo Hayes,
00:55:59evening the odds.
00:56:01And this has led us to tonight.
00:56:03Oh, right to action, not wasting any time.
00:56:13Big right hand after right hand from Carmelo Hayes
00:56:16against Johnny Gargano.
00:56:17Well, Hayes and Dragunov just know this duo only too well
00:56:21and were fully aware there was likely to be a cheap shot start.
00:56:25They were lying in wait, ready for it.
00:56:28And it's back five finally now on DIY.
00:56:31What momentum that was created that time.
00:56:33And now Dragunov comes in with a knee.
00:56:36It is nonstop against Ciampa.
00:56:40Dragunov, a man who doesn't normally like to team with other people.
00:56:44However, he gained a major appreciation for the abilities
00:56:47and the respect of Carmelo Hayes a couple of weeks ago
00:56:50in 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,
00:57:01insisting he goes to war every single week.
00:57:05I love it.
00:57:06It 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.
00:57:19Highly 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,
00:57:27but 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.
00:57:45Looked close to winning the thing.
00:57:46That was until involvement from Tommaso Ciampa,
00:57:49which 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,
00:57:58Ilya 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,
00:58:07but 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,
00:58:20Johnny Gargano up on the apron to tear him down.
00:58:24Oh, no!
00:58:29That is just the DIY way,
00:58:31as the jaw of Ilya Dragunov may have just shattered
00:58:34against our desk.
00:58:37Let's go.
00:58:38Keep him back, Raph.
00:58:41Pat yourself on the back, DIY.
00:58:43Wade in for Michael Cole and Corey Graves
00:58:52here on Friday night's SmackDown.
00:58:53A week ago,
00:58:55Tommaso Ciampa lost in the United States Championship match
00:58:57against 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
00:59:04former 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
00:59:17on 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
00:59:31to get this tag to a fresh Carmelo Hayes
00:59:35so Carmelo Hayes can show the world
00:59:37why he is him?
00:59:40Hayes is ready to explode.
00:59:42Here he comes after Gargano
00:59:43and delivers to Ciampa.
00:59:48What a shot.
00:59:49Backs him up to the ropes.
00:59:52Oh, man, oh, man.
00:59:55Springboard.
00:59:56Like a cat.
00:59:57Would 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
01:00:06is just governed by a different set of rules
01:00:08to everyone else on Planet of the Night.
01:00:11Yeah, there is no gravity.
01:00:13Sticks the landing, too.
01:00:15Meanwhile, the Mad Dragon.
01:00:20Massive senton off the top.
01:00:22To put it away.
01:00:23That high-flying senton
01:00:28after everything Carmelo Hayes did.
01:00:31Check this action out.
01:00:32Carmelo Hayes taking that Ciampa
01:00:34and sticking the landing.
01:00:36And then this sky-high senton
01:00:39from the top rope
01:00:40right to the midsection of Gargano.
01:00:42Gargano not quite enough
01:00:44to put away DIY,
01:00:47but you feel that is getting closer and closer.
01:00:50What an amazing powers of recovery here
01:00:52from the Mad Dragon.
01:00:54Shows exactly why he is
01:00:55an 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.
01:01:05Oh, they got him in a compromised position
01:01:08in that corner.
01:01:09And a super kick.
01:01:10And now DIY gains some momentum.
01:01:13Do they ever?
01:01:14A 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
01:01:29that Project Ciampa,
01:01:30time and again,
01:01:31we've seen the success he has with it.
01:01:32It's a match with it,
01:01:34if 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,
01:01:47smart enough to see it coming.
01:01:54Oh, Candice LeRae.
01:01:56Again, LeRae in full behind the referee's back.
01:01:59And there's a KO blow to the temple.
01:02:01This 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,
01:02:12Dragunov may be out.
01:02:14And now the double whammy.
01:02:16Fairy tail ending right here.
01:02:19One, two, one.
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
01:02:30this 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, Dragunov.
01:02:42How about it?
01:02:43First 48.
01:02:44This 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.
01:03:22Ilya Dragunov.
01:03:26Well, instant chemistry from these two victors
01:03:29against a veteran tag team
01:03:31who've been together over 10 years.
01:03:34It needed a mind-blowing performance
01:03:36and we got it.
01:03:38A glorious victory for Ilya Dragunov
01:03:40and Carmelo Hayes.
01:03:42Excuse me, Alexa, Charlotte.
01:03:48Can I get a comment on why you guys
01:03:50attacked Nia Jax and Lash Legend
01:03:52earlier tonight?
01:03:53I mean, what message are you trying to send?
01:03:56The message that if you look too far
01:03:57in the future,
01:03:58you tend to forget who's standing
01:03:59right in front of you.
01:04:00Now, Rhea and Io have a tag team title match
01:04:02on January 5th
01:04:03and I'm sure Lash and Nia
01:04:04think that they're next in line.
01:04:06But they're not.
01:04:06They're in our way.
01:04:08And whoever wins the tag team championships
01:04:09will be waiting.
01:04:11Okay, thank you.
01:04:12Actually, Jade, Jade,
01:04:22since you're here,
01:04:25is there anything you'd like to say
01:04:26about attacking Meechan last week
01:04:27on 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
01:04:35after I knocked her down.
01:04:37Now she and the rest,
01:04:38they gonna take these Ls.
01:04:41Now I'm big on charity,
01:04:42so I'm gonna give her a little spotlight
01:04:44and then I'm gonna knock her lights out.
01:04:48Now, we done?
01:04:51Yeah.
01:04:51I guess you gotta sleep.
01:04:54It seems like you forgot.
01:04:55Let me remind you.
01:04:58What are you doing?
01:04:59Get back!
01:05:02Come here, Jade!
01:05:03Come here, Jade!
01:05:04You're lucky!
01:05:05You're lucky!
01:05:07Get it out!
01:05:08Get it out!
01:05:09You're still some hope.
01:05:10You all right?
01:05:11Still to come,
01:05:16the WWE Tag Team Championship match.
01:05:20The Wyatt Six and the MFTs.
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,
01:05:37when the new year starts,
01:05:39you get even more Friday Night SmackDown
01:05:41as SmackDown will move to three hours
01:05:43starting on January 2nd.
01:05:45Let's tell you what you're in store for
01:05:47on next week's Friday Night SmackDown.
01:05:50We just saw him perform in tag action.
01:05:53He never gets a week off,
01:05:55but that is how he likes it.
01:05:57The United States Championship
01:05:59will be on the line
01:06:00in an open challenge
01:06:01as Ilya Dragunov defends against...
01:06:05Well, we'll find out next week.
01:06:06And just say his name
01:06:08after all the controversy
01:06:09with The Miz
01:06:11and what happened in the last time
01:06:13is now tournament.
01:06:14It's a battle between Joe Hendry
01:06:16and The Miz.
01:06:17We all believe.
01:06:19And of course,
01:06:20the Scottish psychopath himself,
01:06:23a victim of a home invasion
01:06:25from WWE champ Cody Rhodes.
01:06:29Post-suspension,
01:06:31Drew McIntyre returns to SmackDown
01:06:33next week.
01:06:39Howdy.
01:06:41You talk a whole lot of nonsense
01:06:42about absolutely nothing.
01:06:46But when you threaten my family,
01:06:48that's when we got a problem.
01:06:50You think this is a game, huh?
01:06:52When it comes to my family,
01:06:53I don't play no damn games.
01:06:55You understand me?
01:06:57We are going to humiliate you,
01:06:59embarrass you in front of
01:07:00the whole wide world.
01:07:04Wait.
01:07:05You hear that?
01:07:07Can you hear that?
01:07:09The Fireflies are here.
01:07:11And they are going to watch us take
01:07:18those tag team titles.
01:07:22Because whether they like it or not,
01:07:25I've got the whole world
01:07:29in my hands.
01:07:33He's got the whole world
01:07:36in his hands.
01:07:39He's got the whole world
01:07:39in his hands.
01:07:41Well, that is one way
01:07:46to get under the skin
01:07:48of Uncle Howdy
01:07:49and the Wyatt Six.
01:07:51He's got the whole world
01:07:52in his hands.
01:07:53That is something Solosic
01:07:54and Cohen does better
01:07:55than anything, does he ever.
01:07:57The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it scores the WWE Tag Team Championship!
01:08:24Introducing the Challenger, accompanied by Solo Zicoa, the MMT!
01:08:37Look at that face of Solo Zicoa, I draw the note.
01:08:41Strong message delivered to Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Six.
01:08:47The WWE Tag Team Championship match is dead.
01:08:52Now, I am controlling the cage.
01:08:59A tomorrow night, AAA, Guerra de Titanis.
01:09:06It will be streaming live, 9pm Eastern, 6 Pacific on WWE's YouTube channel.
01:09:12And WWE Espanol, Dominic Mysterio will be in action, El Grande, Americano, Dragon Lee, and many more.
01:09:19The best of AAA.
01:09:21Tomorrow might not come for one of the two teams we have in action, because it looks like the MFTs are ready for war.
01:09:31The MFTs are ready for the MFTs.
01:09:44The MFTs are ready for the MFTs.
01:13:41Every time I look to my left here, I'm always a little concerned about this ringside.
01:13:47Just able to get out of the way as Joe Gacy was charging.
01:13:51Oh, man.
01:13:54Giant arm of Tonga Loa coming across the face.
01:13:59Oh, God.
01:14:00Look at this.
01:14:01Look at the power.
01:14:02Oh, right into the post and then throws him down to the floor.
01:14:07No way to break someone's spine.
01:14:09Yeah.
01:14:10JC Mateo.
01:14:11Look at this stupid, huh?
01:14:12That's what I'm talking about.
01:14:17Imposing Tonga Loa taking advantage here.
01:14:20WWE Tag Team Championship match.
01:14:22Solo Sokoa has put forth his MFTs.
01:14:26He says they have walked in ready for war.
01:14:28They're gonna walk out as the new champions over the Wyatt Six.
01:14:32And their respective units are looking up.
01:14:35Could be right here.
01:14:37Hopefully or in desperation in the case of the Wyatt Six.
01:14:41As the Tag Team Championships hang in the balance here.
01:14:44But they are undeniably moving closer and closer to the coaches of the MFTs.
01:14:50Who've looked completely dominant since getting the upper hand.
01:14:54Just glanced over what we saw.
01:14:56That moment Uncle Howdy.
01:14:57The concern on his face.
01:14:58Big Eric Rowan and Nikki Cross.
01:15:00Because in the ring right now.
01:15:02Dexter Loomis over in that corner.
01:15:04He cannot escape Loa and JC Mateo.
01:15:07I can't imagine either of these sides either going back to Uncle Howdy or to Solo Sokoa.
01:15:13Having disappointed them in this match.
01:15:15Both teams know they better win this thing.
01:15:18Boom!
01:15:19Solo Sokoa has been very outspoken.
01:15:22Directing those messages straight to Uncle Howdy.
01:15:25The message is clear.
01:15:27The entire mentality of the MFTs is the acquisition of every single piece of gold here on SmackDown.
01:15:36And this could be the first piece of the puzzle.
01:15:39Slam.
01:15:40And right to the cover.
01:15:41Matteo.
01:15:42And now he hooks the leg.
01:15:45But can't capture gold.
01:15:47You can see the frustration on his face for a moment there.
01:15:50As back to work he goes.
01:15:51Matteo just a human battering ram.
01:15:54And right now the body of Dexter Loomis has taken a devastating battering over the past several minutes.
01:16:01But it does not get easier when 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 than a player.
01:16:13Technical hold.
01:16:15Oh!
01:16:16Caving the ribcage of Dexter Loomis.
01:16:18Absolutely.
01:16:19They are coming closer and closer to capturing the Tag Team Championships.
01:16:25Tonga Loa is getting closer and closer to becoming unglued with frustration.
01:16:29He knows full well there should be this.
01:16:32Clutches by now.
01:16:33But taking a bit too long to do anything about it.
01:16:36And getting tagged on the jaw.
01:16:38Oh!
01:16:39He gets dragged back by the waist as he was just about to get to Joe Gacy.
01:16:43Look how nimble Dexter Loomis is.
01:16:46Finishing up with that super kick to the jaw of JC Matteo.
01:16:50Boy oh boy do they need this tag.
01:16:53Here he comes!
01:16:54Joe Gacy!
01:16:56God that lunatic Nikki Cross is running around the outside of the ring too.
01:17:00I'll try and focus on the match.
01:17:02Look at Gacy.
01:17:03Look at Gacy.
01:17:04Rallying back to Wyatt Six.
01:17:06Look at what he's able to do to Matteo.
01:17:08Give him the suplex specialist a taste of his own medicine.
01:17:13Massive right hand from Gacy.
01:17:15And showing you just enough power.
01:17:21And grit.
01:17:22Oh!
01:17:23But cannot retain right there.
01:17:25Stalling Saito suplex against a man the size of JC.
01:17:29What the hell?
01:17:31Getting out of the way was JC Matteo off that springboard attempt.
01:17:35Oh!
01:17:36And this could be it for Gold right here!
01:17:40Two!
01:17:41Getting that left shoulder up.
01:17:42So much torque in that side suplex from JC Matteo the former Olympian.
01:17:48Gacy at his best!
01:17:49Unfeasible athleticism from Joe Gacy.
01:17:52And now it's about to take two, Tagaloa!
01:17:54Tagaloa gets some!
01:17:55Joe Gacy, one man showing it right now.
01:17:56You can't judge a buck by its cover when it comes to Joe Gacy.
01:17:58This guy can do some crazy stuff!
01:17:59Like that!
01:18:00Throwing his body on the line.
01:18:01Taking out two men in one go.
01:18:02And perhaps giving the other goal to Joe Gacy.
01:18:03You can't judge a buck by its cover when it comes to Joe Gacy.
01:18:08This guy can do some crazy stuff!
01:18:10Like that!
01:18:12Throwing his body on the line.
01:18:14Taking out two men in one go.
01:18:17And perhaps giving the opportunity for the Wyatt Six to finish this thing for good.
01:18:22And now everything Solo Sokoa said could go the other way right here!
01:18:28Suplex powerbomb combo and JC Matteo may be out.
01:18:32But why not look up with the win, Joe Tess?
01:18:36Loomis is gonna fly, Wade!
01:18:40This to hold on to go!
01:18:41Oh!
01:18:42And the save!
01:18:44Well, Tagaloa had to be on point with that break-up
01:18:47because wiped out was JC Matteo.
01:18:49And now we're going...
01:18:50Oh, no!
01:18:51And that's behind the referees back!
01:18:53The massive Tagaloa!
01:18:54Keep their eyes open, though!
01:18:56Rowan takes him out!
01:18:57Oh, it's on!
01:18:58It is on on the floor!
01:19:02It was a matter of when not in!
01:19:04Oh, my!
01:19:05Oh, my!
01:19:06No one's safe here!
01:19:07Mass and Eric Rowan!
01:19:08No one's safe!
01:19:09Oh, no!
01:19:10Uncle Howdy's in the mix!
01:19:11Oh, my God!
01:19:12And it is an all-out brawl between the MFTs and the Wyatt Six!
01:19:15This one's thrown out!
01:19:16This is craziness here!
01:19:17Pandemonium breaking out in our main event!
01:19:18This one has been thrown out by the referee!
01:19:19Good luck getting control of this!
01:19:20We need a stun gun!
01:19:21We need tasers!
01:19:22We need tear gas!
01:19:23We need riot police!
01:19:24This is out of control, Barrett!
01:19:25Absolutely out of control!
01:19:26It's been bubbling up for weeks!
01:19:27Tolantaga was out on the floor!
01:19:28He did damage!
01:19:29And Big Rowan said, not so fast!
01:19:30And now everywhere you look, they are flying at each other!
01:19:33Now the two bosses, Uncle Howdy and Solo Sako, are getting into it, too!
01:19:58Nikola getting into it too.
01:20:01Who would want to be in the front row for this?
01:20:04Keep well back.
01:20:06As they send in Joe Casey as well in the numbers game in the center of the ring.
01:20:10Oh, the numbers game.
01:20:11Talk about the numbers game.
01:20:13Talatonga is a one-man numbers game.
01:20:16And he's going up top.
01:20:17He's almost seven foot tall.
01:20:20Oh, a crossbody wipeout.
01:20:24Oh.
01:20:28Rowan with a dropkick.
01:20:33The wild six-eight.
01:20:34We got a monster of our own in, Erich Rowan.
01:20:44Nikki wants a piece of it.
01:20:47She says, I want in.
01:20:49She's out of her damn mind.
01:20:50That's why.
01:20:52A Nikki bomb.
01:20:58Oh, a Samoan spike.
01:21:03A Samoan spike.
01:21:06Turn around, Salmo.
01:21:09Guess who's there.
01:21:11Sister Abigail.
01:21:13Oh.
01:21:17Wyatt Six.
01:21:19MFT's absolutely wild.
01:21:22Oh, my God.
01:21:23Oh, my God.
01:21:23Oh, my God.
01:21:23Oh, my God.
