00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:30You can start to feel the emotion bubbling up.
00:00:39We're all here tonight paying tribute to John Cena.
00:00:43It feels like for many of us, we're saying goodbye to their talent.
00:00:48We're the Miss tonight. For the world, it's going to be a hell of a night.
00:00:51John Cena is a once-in-a-generation superstar.
00:00:53John Cena is the hardest-working guy anybody will ever meet,
00:00:57and that's what he passes on to the next generation.
00:01:00I don't know. He just has this incredible connection,
00:01:02not only with fans, but just with people,
00:01:05and that's what makes him such a wonderful human being.
00:01:08Ladies and gentlemen, John Cena's 23-year journey
00:01:12now reaches the finish line.
00:01:22I'm going to break your spirits.
00:01:25I'm going to force you to give up.
00:01:29It's like a vision, intuition.
00:01:33It's a feeling deep inside, and everything looks different
00:01:37from what you left behind.
00:01:41Is it the light? Is it the fight?
00:01:44Something has changed, but it's all right.
00:01:47A new sensation that couldn't be destroyed.
00:01:51Because when the outside takes control of the game and plays to the world,
00:01:58there's nowhere else to let any end go.
00:02:01Any longer.
00:02:03Because what you're feeling is better.
00:02:06Just what I play, it's better.
00:02:09So much game at the end.
00:02:10You can't hear it.
00:02:13What it matter, because it never lasts in the end.
00:02:16It's better.
00:02:17I'll stop the world, just better.
00:02:20Be the morning so hard.
00:02:22You can feel it close when you've got a diamond.
00:02:24And now the only thing you hear is the sun of your own.
00:02:27I'll be.
00:02:30You're the one that's all right.
00:02:33How much does Cena have left?
00:02:35Don't get up, don't get up, don't get up, don't get up, don't get up.
00:02:42Just got a plan, you're the one that's all right.
00:02:47I feel the cross, don't get up.
00:02:49And I can't help you, but I can't help you
00:02:51So I can't help you
00:02:52I can't help you
00:03:19Tonight, professional wrestling destroyed sports entertainment
00:03:49I can't help you
00:04:19I'm going to play this show to you, I guess
00:04:49Good evening, everybody
00:04:51Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett
00:04:52As we welcome you to Friday Night Smackdown
00:04:55Wade, we're very much still in the afterglow
00:04:57Of Saturday Night's main event
00:04:59John Cena's final match
00:05:01But tonight, we shift our focus
00:05:02To Cody Rhodes
00:05:04Now, his match in Washington, D.C.
00:05:06Last Saturday night was truncated
00:05:08Another attack by Drew McIntyre
00:05:10But it didn't end there
00:05:12Between Cody and Drew
00:05:13And we'll take a look at the explosive altercation
00:05:18That took place at Drew McIntyre's home this past week
00:05:21Later on tonight
00:05:23And look who is here
00:05:25The undisputed WWE Champion
00:05:29Cody Rhodes has arrived
00:05:30To Smackdown
00:05:32Cody has plenty to be fired up about
00:05:35Over Drew McIntyre
00:05:36We will hear from Cody ahead
00:05:39Plus
00:05:40The WWE Tag Team Championship match
00:05:44Is coming your way
00:05:45Solo Sokoa
00:05:46He has put the champs on notice
00:05:48He says his MFTs are ready to show the world
00:05:51How to capture gold
00:05:52The Wyatt Six
00:05:53The target
00:05:54The WWE Tag Team
00:06:24The WWE Tag Team
00:06:54Ladies and gentlemen
00:06:58Please welcome
00:07:00Damian Priest
00:07:04Wait, Damian Priest's ongoing view
00:07:08With Aleister Black
00:07:10Took a turn last week
00:07:11Yeah, this was the main event
00:07:14Of Smackdown last week
00:07:16A very bad tempered
00:07:18Mixed Tag Team match
00:07:19Rhea Ripley
00:07:20And Damian Priest
00:07:22Reminding the entire world
00:07:24Why they are known
00:07:26As the Terra Twins
00:07:28With this double
00:07:30Razor's Edge
00:07:31Connected on their opponents
00:07:33Followed up
00:07:34With a Riptide
00:07:36From Rhea Bloody Ripley
00:07:38For a major victory
00:07:39Against their long-time rival
00:07:41Against their long-time rivals
00:07:42How about to hide down that Riptide
00:07:49With Zelina
00:07:50Up nearly over her head
00:07:52To deliver that
00:07:53Too many pot people
00:07:56Would change places
00:07:57With Zelina and Aleister Black
00:07:59During that matchup
00:08:01But let's see what's coming next
00:08:02For the Punisher himself
00:08:04Damian Priest
00:08:05Hershey, Pennsylvania
00:08:12It's nice to hear that energy
00:08:18Because I know
00:08:18The last few days
00:08:20Weren't easy
00:08:22Saturday night's main event
00:08:24We were forced
00:08:25To say goodbye
00:08:26To the career
00:08:27Of John Cena
00:08:28I can't tell you
00:08:33How much I agree
00:08:34With that emotion
00:08:35I really do
00:08:36But I think I can speak
00:08:38For all of us
00:08:39When I say to someone
00:08:40Who inspired
00:08:42So many
00:08:43When I say
00:08:45To the man
00:08:46Without a shadow
00:08:47Of a doubt
00:08:48He is
00:08:49The greatest
00:08:49Of all time
00:08:50We say
00:08:56Thank you
00:08:57Cena
00:08:58I feel that
00:09:17Thank you for that
00:09:18Now
00:09:20Let's talk about
00:09:21Some good times
00:09:22Good times
00:09:24Like last
00:09:26Friday night
00:09:27Smackdown
00:09:27When Zelina
00:09:29And Alistair
00:09:30Got their asses
00:09:32Dropped
00:09:32By the Terror Twins
00:09:34Yeah
00:09:37That business
00:09:38Has been handled
00:09:39So now
00:09:39We can look
00:09:41To 2026
00:09:42And in 2026
00:09:44Oh
00:09:45Damian
00:09:49Damian
00:09:51You are such
00:09:56You are such a hypocrite
00:09:57You really think
00:10:00That getting your
00:10:02Mommy
00:10:03To fight your battles
00:10:04For you
00:10:05Makes you a real man
00:10:06Newsflash
00:10:09You didn't even get
00:10:10The pin
00:10:11And you call that
00:10:13Salvation
00:10:14You just can't stand
00:10:18You just can't stand
00:10:18The fact
00:10:18That Alistair
00:10:20Broke you
00:10:21You made
00:10:24Your decision
00:10:25And now
00:10:27You have to live
00:10:28With ours
00:10:29Or more importantly
00:10:32His
00:10:33Oh
00:10:43Alistair Black
00:10:45Was behind
00:10:46Damian Priest
00:10:47And he's beating
00:10:47Him down
00:10:48What a sneak attack
00:10:50Aided and abetted
00:10:52By Zelina
00:10:53By the Punisher
00:10:54Damian Priest
00:10:55Fighting back
00:10:56Fighting for his life
00:10:57At this point
00:10:58Massive
00:10:58Right hand
00:10:59Delivered
00:11:00By Priest
00:11:01Just when
00:11:02Damian Priest
00:11:03Thought he put
00:11:04This to bed
00:11:04With Alistair Black
00:11:05And Zelina
00:11:06They are back
00:11:07With a vengeance
00:11:08But things are
00:11:08Backfired
00:11:09Just like last week
00:11:10No he's able to
00:11:11Reverse onto the
00:11:11Attempt for the
00:11:12Razor's Edge
00:11:13Oh
00:11:14Big knee
00:11:15From Black
00:11:15Muatai strikes
00:11:17Of Alistair Black
00:11:19Coming to the
00:11:20Fall
00:11:20Once again
00:11:21This is one
00:11:22Dangerous man
00:11:22But caught
00:11:23In midair
00:11:24And driven
00:11:25South of heaven
00:11:27Onto the apron
00:11:28South of heaven
00:11:29Damian
00:11:32Damian
00:11:34Don't you dare
00:11:35Damian
00:11:36Don't you dare
00:11:37Damian
00:11:39Damian
00:11:39Stop
00:11:39Don't you dare
00:11:41Damian
00:11:41Damian
00:11:42Damian
00:11:43Oh
00:11:44This crowd's gonna explode
00:11:45Nothing
00:11:47More they wanna see
00:11:48Than that
00:11:49Damian Priest
00:11:50Apparently looking
00:11:51To finish
00:11:52The Alistair Black
00:11:54Problem off for good
00:11:55And this might be
00:11:56One way to do it
00:11:57Selina looks
00:11:58Hopelessly on
00:12:00As
00:12:01Black is back
00:12:02To his feet
00:12:03With a steel chair
00:12:04Right across the back
00:12:08Table just not
00:12:09Cooperated
00:12:10With Damian Priest
00:12:11Taking advantage
00:12:13Briefly
00:12:14Was Alistair Black
00:12:16But here we go
00:12:17No
00:12:18Right into the post
00:12:19Desperate struggle
00:12:22Oh
00:12:22These big kicks
00:12:23By Alistair Black
00:12:25You know the damage
00:12:26They can do
00:12:26Wade
00:12:26Roundhouse
00:12:28Right to the temple
00:12:29Of Damian Priest
00:12:30Who still fights
00:12:33Up from the deck
00:12:34Spinning
00:12:34Back elbow
00:12:35From Black
00:12:36Able to get out
00:12:37Of that South of Heaven
00:12:38Attempt again
00:12:39Now up on the apron
00:12:40Absolute scramble
00:12:41This is
00:12:42Oh
00:12:43My
00:12:44The double
00:12:48Knees
00:12:48Off the apron
00:12:50Right
00:12:50Through
00:12:51The table
00:12:52The damage
00:12:56Done
00:12:56Black
00:12:57Himself
00:12:58Reaching
00:12:58For his leg
00:12:59As Damian Priest
00:13:01Through
00:13:03The table
00:13:04Think of that
00:13:05Left
00:13:05Alistair Black
00:13:06In pain
00:13:07Just imagine
00:13:08What it did
00:13:09To Damian Priest
00:13:10Who got jumped
00:13:11Tonight
00:13:12By Alistair Black

00:13:21Wade
00:13:21Thank you so much
00:13:22I'm standing by
00:13:23With the pairing
00:13:24Of Last Legend
00:13:25And Nia Jax
00:13:26Last I do want to
00:13:26Start with you
00:13:27And deliver you
00:13:28Your flowers
00:13:29And congratulate you

00:13:32Skirt
00:13:33What are you talking
00:13:34About upset
00:13:35Byron
00:13:36She clearly
00:13:37Beat Alexa
00:13:38Bus Handily
00:13:39Tell him Lash
00:13:40Exactly
00:13:40And no matter
00:13:41How great
00:13:42Little Lexi is
00:13:43She didn't stand
00:13:44A chance against
00:13:45Me
00:13:46Because I was
00:13:46Whooping her
00:13:47Little tail
00:13:48All up and down
00:13:48That ring
00:13:49Because that's
00:13:49What the bougie
00:13:50Billy does
00:13:50And now
00:13:51That we're done
00:13:52With Lexi
00:13:53And Charlotte
00:13:53We're moving on
00:13:54And once we
00:13:56Annihilate the
00:13:57Kabuki Warriors
00:13:58We are gonna slide
00:13:59Into that tag team
00:14:00Championship match
00:14:01And become the new
00:14:02Tag team champions
00:14:04I should point out
00:14:05That Rhea Ripley
00:14:06And Io Sky
00:14:07Do have an upcoming
00:14:08Tag team title
00:14:08Opportunity
00:14:09So you may have
00:14:10As you gotta point out
00:14:12You're so annoying
00:14:15Byron
00:14:15It doesn't matter
00:14:16Who all of a sudden
00:14:17Wants to become
00:14:17Best friends
00:14:18Those tag team titles
00:14:19Are ours
00:14:20Right
00:14:21Forget Rio
00:14:22Forget the Kabukis
00:14:23Forget Charlexa
00:14:24It's about the
00:14:25Irresistible force
00:14:26And the bougie bully
00:14:27Now
00:14:27And we're coming
00:14:28After those tag team titles
00:14:30Last night
00:14:35Giving wrapping paper
00:14:37A couple of
00:14:39Santa's little
00:14:40Helpers right there
00:14:41Here's a couple of
00:14:43Ladies who don't help
00:14:44Anybody but themselves
00:14:45No, they don't
00:14:47The following
00:14:50Is a tag team match
00:14:53To put one fall
00:14:54Introducing first
00:14:56They are
00:14:57The women's tag team
00:15:00Champions
00:15:02Asuka and Kyrie Zane
00:15:06The Kabuki Warriors
00:15:10The Kabuki Warriors
00:15:14Against Nia Jax
00:15:16And Lash Legend
00:15:18When we return
00:15:19To Friday Night SmackDown

00:16:20Get back
00:16:24Get back
00:16:28Get off of here
00:16:29Get out of here
00:16:30Get out of here
00:16:31Get out of here
00:16:32Now the Kabuki Warriors
00:16:36Just a matter of days ago, an attack with Rhea and Io again tonight, a far different challenge.
00:16:44The pure power and size of perhaps the most intimidating new tag team in the division.
00:17:06And their opponents, the team of Lash Legends and Nia Jax.
00:17:23Instantly wait as dangerous a pairing as the women's division can have.
00:17:27Let's go back to last week.
00:17:29Yeah, this is SmackDown seven days ago.
00:17:32Lash Legends taking on Alexa Bliss.
00:17:35Alexa looking good.
00:17:36That was until Jax got involved, which triggered a huge brawl on the outside with Charlotte Flair,
00:17:44who was then taken down by Lash Legend.
00:17:47The power of Lash Legend proving too much took over.
00:17:52And one Lash extension later, the new powerhouse on the block scored the biggest singles win of her career.
00:18:00Lash Legend, the former college and pro basketball star, she has been on a rocket ride of success and impressive outings in the ring.
00:18:13So here are the former teammates from Survivor Series War Games.
00:18:17Now opposite each other is everybody has eyes on those tag team championships.
00:18:23Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett filling in for Michael Cole and Corey Graves here on SmackDown.
00:18:33Great to think, not so long ago, these four women teaming together inside of War Games.
00:18:40Now, of course, all bets are off.
00:18:44Clearly Lash Legend and Nia Jax have an eye for the gold that belongs to the Kabuki Warriors.
00:18:51They're doing everything in their power to convince management to give themselves an opportunity at the gold.
00:18:58A victory here, of course, will do them a massive favor with that argument.
00:19:04Legend coming in looking for that big leg, but instead gets chopped down from behind by Kairi Sane.
00:19:09Well, that's smart of Kairi Sane.
00:19:10You simply cannot match power with someone like Lash Legend.
00:19:14You have to try and outmaneuver her.
00:19:16And outmaneuvering her, Kairi Sane is at this point in the match.
00:19:20Now, here's what she does best.
00:19:22Off the top rope.
00:19:24Oh, but would you look at the strength and power of the former first-team All-SEC athlete, Sane.
00:19:33Able to reverse it.
00:19:34Legend trying to keep that body control.
00:19:37Brilliant.
00:19:38Wow.
00:19:38Oh, what a nice pivot there from Lash Legend.
00:19:41And trying to make no mistakes the second time around against Kairi Sane.
00:19:45Using power to advantage, but denied once again.
00:19:49Through the veteran wiles of Kairi Sane.
00:19:52Highly beneficial.
00:19:53Oh, my.
00:19:54Oh, my.
00:19:54Oh, my.
00:19:57There's just no competing with that kind of timing and power from Lash Legend.
00:20:02And with that tag, it does not get any easier.
00:20:05I mean, and then just dragging her into position.
00:20:08For Narnia Jax to squash in the corner.
00:20:11Oh, and then Legend comes in as well.
00:20:13Completely dominant display this has been from these two superpowers.
00:20:20Shoulders down and Sane able to get out of position.
00:20:23You'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,
00:20:33causing chaos at ringside during that showdown.
00:20:36And clearly, Lash and Jax feel their own a little something when it comes to that gold.
00:20:42You'll earn that opportunity now, perhaps.
00:20:44The teamwork from Asuka and Kairi.
00:20:48Here's the lateral press cover from Asuka.
00:20:50And Naya easily dismisses and denies that.
00:20:54Yeah, taking the Kabuki Warriors lightly is a fool's errand in this game.
00:20:58One of the most dominant female tag teams in history.
00:21:02And this woman might be the greatest striker in women's combat history.
00:21:06The power of Naya Jax just not quite enough to stop Asuka in her stride.
00:21:12Oh, that changed everything.
00:21:14Did it ever, and was it effortless?
00:21:17Pop-up headbutt right to the sternum of the Empress of Tomorrow.
00:21:21Walks right into the big booth, though.
00:21:23Opportunity for Asuka.
00:21:25Hayland, that lung blower, completely rocking Naya Jax.
00:21:29But Jax, of course, still on her feet.
00:21:31Might change now, though.
00:21:32Double dropkick sends Naya Jax out of the ring.
00:21:38This one breaking down in a hurry.
00:21:40Lash Legend trying her best to do something here.
00:21:43Referee being incredibly lenient.
00:21:45Here comes Asuka.
00:21:50From an Empress Impact to Kairi Sane.
00:21:54Up top.
00:21:55Out to the floor.
00:21:57Are you kidding me?
00:21:59Takes them both out.
00:22:01Asuka and Kairi Sane.
00:22:04Look at her fly.
00:22:11Back to action here.
00:22:12Asuka and Kairi Sane against Lash Legend and Naya Jax.
00:22:17Let's take a look at what happened during the break.
00:22:21And this is what turned the match around a few moments ago.
00:22:25This tag that Kairi Sane was not aware of to Lash Legend.
00:22:28Followed up by that pumpkin right to the jaw of the Pirate Princess.
00:22:33Who's not looked quite the same ever since.
00:22:36And now ready to drop that hammer.
00:22:37Here's the Bougie Bully.
00:22:44Lash Legend is just a cheat code.
00:22:46So big.
00:22:47So strong.
00:22:48So tough.
00:22:49There's only one weakness.
00:22:51And that's really the lack of experience at the very top level here.
00:22:54But guess what?
00:22:55You've got Naya Jax tagging with you.
00:22:57And all the veteran experience of Jax is now getting passed on to Lash Legend.
00:23:02Of course, the early part of her athletic success was on the hardwood.
00:23:06He was a superstar at Texas A&M, SEC basketball.
00:23:10And then a first-round draft pick into the WNBA before finding her home in WWE.
00:23:17And she's not going away.
00:23:18Some people are just too aggressive for a basketball court, Jotess.
00:23:23And those people, if they're tough enough, they'll make their way to WWE.
00:23:27And thank goodness Lash Legend has really found her spot here on SmackDown.
00:23:32She is explosive.
00:23:33She is tough.
00:23:34And it's Naya just dismisses Asuka from the apron.
00:23:38The eye for talent that Naya Jax has.
00:23:40She's not going to waste her time with people who simply won't cut it at this level.
00:23:44She's been studying Lash Legend's movements in NXT for the past couple of years.
00:23:49And picked the exact right spot to find a woman at home.
00:23:54They go for that double suplex again.
00:23:56And instead, it's a double DDT by Kairi Sane.
00:24:00What an opportunity, Wade.
00:24:02There it might be the issue with being so big and powerful.
00:24:05You get a little overconfident against those on the roster who can't match your power.
00:24:10But Kairi Sane pulling out a tag at the most vital moment.
00:24:16And in comes Asuka.
00:24:17Here she is.
00:24:19Missile drop kick for two.
00:24:23Asuka running in with that elbow.
00:24:26And getting out of the way as Legend smashes into Jax.
00:24:33Beautiful kicks from Asuka.
00:24:35As she revs that offensive engine.
00:24:38Denies the Samoan drop.
00:24:40And now the striking combination from one of the best to ever do it.
00:24:44It seemed Nia Jax and Lash Legend simply were not ready for Asuka.
00:24:49Oh, it is locked in.
00:24:54And somehow, someway, Nia Jax just powers her up.
00:25:00Trying to get out the back door.
00:25:04Oh!
00:25:05Missing.
00:25:06The drop is Jax.
00:25:08And instead, Asuka delivers.
00:25:12And the save by Lash Legend.
00:25:14Incredible speed there from some of the size of Lash Legend.
00:25:17And it needed to be, but that spinning back elbow completely rocking the Bougie Bully.
00:25:28She's got her up top.
00:25:31Powering the way out of it, though, is Lash Legend.
00:25:33And there is a shot to the jaw that changes the night of the Kabuki Warriors, perhaps.
00:25:39Certainly Kairi Sane.
00:25:41I think Asuka might have to do it on her own.
00:25:43Right into the post.
00:25:45Asuka's trying to rally here as best she can.
00:25:49It'll effectively be two on one.
00:25:51There's only one Kabuki Warrior left standing, although in the drop zone now is Nia Jax.
00:25:57Sensing it is Lash Legend.
00:26:00Lash Legend getting pulled back down to the floor by Kairi Sane.
00:26:04And now Nia Jax is going up top.
00:26:07Oh, this is going to be ugly for Asuka.
00:26:11Or is it?
00:26:13Would you look at Asuka?
00:26:16There's the tag.
00:26:17Delivering, and what a thud it was.
00:26:22Oh.
00:26:23Oh, what a scramble.
00:26:24These two are not legal, but the fight continues.
00:26:28It's now down to Kairi Sane to try and win this for her team.
00:26:31Off the apron, does damage.
00:26:33I think Asuka caught a piece of that corner and steel steps away.
00:26:37Recklessly right onto Lash Legend, but it did the job.
00:26:41And now can Kairi Sane score the dub?
00:26:45She's looking for that insane elbow.
00:26:46Oh, but instead, Nia meets her.
00:26:50Oh.
00:26:51Devastating chokeslam, and now dragging the carcass of Kairi Sane into what may well be the end.
00:27:00Looking for the Annihilator and delivering.
00:27:02One, two, three.
00:27:03And just like that.
00:27:05Here are your winners, the team of Lash Legend and Nia Jaxx.
00:27:17While the tag champs, the Kabuki Warriors, have a date with Desi.
00:27:21Oh, wait a minute.
00:27:24Got the celebrations.
00:27:28Charlotte and Alexa heading straight to them.
00:27:32The former tag champs have got major issues with all four of the women who are out here now focusing on the winners.
00:27:39It's Jaxx and Lash Legend.
00:27:42Look at Alexa taking it right to Lash Legend.
00:27:45A week ago, you know exactly what happened when they met up.
00:27:49With a mass brawl.
00:27:50And of course, the reason Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair no longer have the gold is in large part because of this duo they're now beating out of the ring.
00:27:59Look at the teamwork.
00:28:03The 14-time world champion putting Lash Legend right into that drop zone.
00:28:10Oh, but Nia Jaxx clears her.
00:28:13Saving Lash Legend from certain devastation.
00:28:17Issues between these four clearly not concluded.
00:28:23They want those in their hands for good again.
00:28:29As we go backstage to Jackie Redman.
00:28:36Yeah, Tess, thank you so much.
00:28:37It's already been quite an eventful start to Friday Night SmackDown.
00:28:41So without further ado, please welcome my...
00:28:43Excuse me.
00:28:44Hi.
00:28:44Kiana James.
00:28:45I don't know who you think you are, but over here on SmackDown, if you want to address my client, you have to go through me first.
00:28:51Okay?
00:28:52Okay.
00:28:53I'm sorry.
00:28:54I don't normally do this show.
00:28:56Can I please speak with your client, Julia?
00:28:58You may, but don't make this mistake again.
00:29:02Okay, please welcome my guest, former Women's United States Champion, Julia.
00:29:07Julia, thanks for the time.
00:29:09You've made it aggressively clear that you want that Women's United States Championship back.
00:29:15But Chelsea Green is making life difficult, making you go through Alba Fire in a match tonight.
00:29:20Chelsea wants to hide with the Women's U.S. title.
00:29:23Okay, I will take out Alba Fire.
00:29:28Chelsea, time is running out.
00:29:33Arrivederci.
00:29:33Madonna.
00:29:34Madonna.
00:29:41When we return, it has social media roaring with curiosity.
00:29:46We'll take a look at the explosive altercation that took place at Drew McIntyre's home this past week.
00:29:52That's Nets.
00:29:52Hi, sir.
00:30:01I've brought you guys with me here today to document everything because unfortunately it's come to this.
00:30:07I have to make sure I catch everything on camera because there's no way of knowing what Drew will misrepresent if I don't.
00:30:16Okay, first things first.
00:30:18Thank you for inviting me into your home.
00:30:20You're welcome.
00:30:20It goes without saying that this could have happened at the office, but out of respect and in the interest of good faith, here I am.
00:30:28And given the stunt you pulled in D.C., really questioning why I still came.
00:30:35But Cody wants you reinstated.
00:30:38We all want you reinstated.
00:30:39You're a top talent in WWE, obviously.
00:30:43An integral part of SmackDown.
00:30:45So, I have a proposal.
00:30:48I think that you're going to like the terms.
00:30:53You get a one-on-one match with WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
00:30:59The title will be on the line.
00:31:02And secondly, to show our officials and the WWE Universe that you've repented,
00:31:09I'd like a public apology to Dan Angler for that heinous attack.
00:31:16He's lucky he's not in intensive care.
00:31:19There's also a hefty fine.
00:31:22But I think that your payday from Survivor Series War Games should just about cover that.
00:31:28So, those are the terms.
00:31:31Take it or leave it.
00:31:34I get my match.
00:31:36The WWE Championship.
00:31:38Yes.
00:31:41The thing I want more than anything.
00:31:42I've got no choice.
00:31:47No.
00:31:50Absolutely not.
00:31:51No.
00:31:52No.
00:31:52This is what Cody wants.
00:31:54This is what you want.
00:31:55You've created an unsafe working environment.
00:31:59I accept these terms.
00:32:01I'm just going to get screwed again.
00:32:03So, no.
00:32:05I don't accept your terms.
00:32:07Instead of another monologue about all the ways you've been screwed,
00:32:10why don't you just tell me what you want.
00:32:12Okay.
00:32:12What I want was fair.
00:32:14Fair.
00:32:14That's it.
00:32:15If I come back,
00:32:16if I come back,
00:32:18I get my WWE Championship match with Cody Rhodes.
00:32:21It's deserved.
00:32:22I'm learning how much you're willing to protect your golden boy,
00:32:25but I want to pick the stipulation.
00:32:29I can live with that.
00:32:30Okay.
00:32:31And last, by no means least,
00:32:33I want you to fly back to Stamford, Connecticut,
00:32:37after we finish here.
00:32:38I want you to get your little lawyers together,
00:32:41and I want you to draw up some documents that say,
00:32:44Cody Rhodes cannot lay one finger on me
00:32:48before that championship match,
00:32:51or he is stripped of the WWE Championship.
00:32:54You know, I really hate this,
00:32:59but
00:33:00get the match in the ring.
00:33:07Got a deal.
00:33:12Pleasure doing business with you, buddy.
00:33:17Come on, mate.
00:33:18How quick can I see those documents?
00:33:20How quick's it going to take to draw them up?
00:33:21Well, I have to tell Cody,
00:33:23and then I have to talk to legal,
00:33:24but
00:33:24maybe by the end of the day.
00:33:26End of the day.
00:33:27Fantastic.
00:33:28Fantastic.
00:33:29I should never get out of here.
00:33:30What the hell is this?
00:33:33Oh, come on, mate.
00:33:35You've got to be kidding me.
00:33:37You've seriously got to be kidding me.
00:33:39My house.
00:33:40My home.
00:33:41Really all this.
00:33:42You set me up like this.
00:33:44You come to talk business.
00:33:45You bring him to my house
00:33:46when my family sleeps.
00:33:48Just stay there.
00:33:48I'll handle it.
00:33:49He's out there right now.
00:33:50I'll handle it.
00:33:50You're going to say that.
00:33:51Handle it or I'll handle it.
00:33:55Why are we negotiating with that?
00:33:57What are you doing?
00:33:57What the diplomacy company?
00:33:58Why are you here?
00:33:59You're ruining everything.
00:34:00What am I ruining?
00:34:02You're seriously going to show up
00:34:03and back down property?
00:34:16Come on.
00:34:17Are you kidding me?
00:34:19You're getting dumped out?
00:34:20You're getting dumped out.
00:34:20You're getting dumped out.
00:34:23Get him off man!
00:34:25Get him off!
00:34:26He has to have a house!
00:34:27He asked for it.
00:34:28He asked for it.
00:34:30Get him out!
00:34:31Hey, don't be cussing.
00:34:32Merry Christmas, ass-
00:34:33Nick we just watched the footage from that uncomfortable altercation earlier on this week
00:34:50what do you make of how deeply personal things have gotten between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes
00:34:55well the whole thing's gotten out of hand sacks I mean I'm having legal letters I'm hiring extra
00:34:59security Ava's pissed off because her champions big night got ruined and on top of all that
00:35:03Smackdown is still without one of its biggest stars yeah Drew I said it because while there's
00:35:07no love lost right now I tell it like it is and I have to tell it like it is when it comes to Cody
00:35:11because what he did was completely out of line but a lot of that is out of my hands because it
00:35:16didn't happen at a WWE event so it's up to local authorities what happens to Cody from here on
00:35:20out but I do plan on meeting with Cody to discuss everything and Drew has sent in some comments
00:35:25Mr. Aldis do you know why everyone was shocked at Saturday night's main event because he who
00:35:33should not be named ruined it and I want to match with him him oh you mean Carmelo Hayes no not
00:35:39Carmelo well you know I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Carmelo Hayes but no you know who I'm
00:35:44talking about I'm just kidding I know you mean Joe don't say his name you crazy but yes that guy
00:35:51I want to match next week on Smackdown you know what miss that's actually a good idea let me give
00:35:57Ava a call and hopefully if she's calmed down some she'll see to it but you know in the meantime you
00:36:02could always just say his name I believe in Joe Pesci Nick he's just mad because I saw your British balls
00:36:32the following contest is scheduled for one call introducing first accompanied by Kiyama Chase from Tokyo Japan
00:36:51Julia
00:36:53the recent U.S. champ Julia as talented and capable as anybody on the roster
00:37:02Chelsea Green she wants her hands on but the next best thing is opposite her in moments
00:37:08Alba Fire that is next Julia and Alba Fire on Friday night Smackdown
00:37:23for the former women's U.S. champ Julia in the ring now flanked by her official representative
00:37:35Kiyama James not sat well with her that she lost the goal to Chelsea Green several weeks back and
00:37:42clearly on a mission now to try and get back to said goal but if you want to find a pathway to the
00:37:50U.S. champ Chelsea Green first things first you've got to get past the secret Herb isn't that is easier said than done this is a
00:37:58Alba Fire who is a mean nasty Scottish veteran you know I think it's interesting to see Julia's disposition
00:38:06here Wade because you always wonder when it's your first match since losing a championship what is the
00:38:13case here and that's exactly what you could sense coming just coming right out on the attack because
00:38:19this is her first match since November 7th when she dropped the women's United States championship
00:38:25she's very unhappy about how she lost that championship feels like she was screwed out of
00:38:31the title which a major chicanery from Chelsea Green and her cohorts it looks like payback is now
00:38:39being exacted on Alba Fire well she has proven herself in spots like this she has not lost back-to-back
00:38:46singles matches since being on the main roster when she joined the main roster earlier this year and
00:38:52she has a certain time she is coming out red hot here as Julia yeah absolutely unglued and of course
00:38:58highly motivated by the screechings of Chelsea Green honestly I forgot what it's like to call a match when
00:39:07she's anywhere either in the ring or outside the ring and what it does to the eardrums we need to get her
00:39:12on the desk never so we'll talk some sense please mute button only
00:39:19Julia really needs to try her best to keep her focus on one person here try if possible to ignore Chelsea
00:39:26Green on the outside as tough as that may be focus fully on Alba Fire you've got the upper hand you have to make it
00:39:33count well that's tough let's see that's exactly the problem she keeps looking over that way and with
00:39:38it Alba Fire takes advantage those are the results of the problem you simply cannot do that against
00:39:44someone the caliber of Alba Fire Alba Fire is so skilled in her own right
00:39:50we make a lot of talk about how Julia really was such a dominant champion in Japan before she headed over to
00:40:04the US and got involved with NXT and of course now SmackDown the same could be said of Alba Fire who was
00:40:11almost ripped a giant chunk out of the hair of Alba Fire there Alba Fire completely reeling at this
00:40:21point this is a highly enraged beautiful madness there's nothing beautiful about this but there's
00:40:27certainly a ton of madness on display madness and fury and this could be a short night for Alba Fire but too
00:40:34much left in the tank able to get out of the way of that right hand and now you see Julia getting a look
00:40:40just stretching out Alba Fire nice abdominal stretching agony etched all over the face of Alba Fire now
00:40:47compounding that damage those hammer elbows right into the pinning combination and then reversed this
00:40:53time but Alba Fire look at them going round and round shoulders are down two technical wizards in that ring
00:41:00going hole for hole but completely rock now as Alba Fire and if Julia can pick up the pace or pick up the
00:41:06punishment a wing could be imminent here of course Chelsea Green is having to watch all of this go down
00:41:14Fire able to escape delivers the kick and arching back and falling is Julia and this could be over
00:41:23right here the lateral press put the kick out nice pin right across the shoulders of Julia just too much
00:41:29left in the tank of the beautiful madness but for how much longer oh perhaps going back
00:41:33face buster but reversed
00:41:36oh
00:41:39oh
00:41:40Arriba Durche that Arriba Durche knee you know the damage it can do
00:41:45Julia put a little something extra into it
00:41:51to end it right here as she stares at Chelsea Green and doing it
00:41:58here is your winner Julia
00:42:06a physical message viscerally received by the United States champ Chelsea Green Julia wants her gold back
00:42:16her first match since losing the women's United States championship

00:44:53Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the undisputed WWE Champion.
00:45:13The American Nightmare, Cody Rose.
00:45:20Wade, it has been a roller coaster of a week for Cody Rose.
00:45:23And it all began with that match in Washington, D.C.
00:45:26Against one of the next great ones, Oberfemi.
00:45:28Yeah, Saturday night's main event, NXT champ.
00:45:30Oberfemi looking incredible against WWE champ, Cody Rose.
00:45:34But Cody showing us all why he's QB1 in the industry.
00:45:38What a match this was until it was ruined by Drew McIntyre.
00:45:43attacking his arch rival until Oberfemi got involved too.
00:45:49But Ober and Cody combined to drop the Scotty Warrior.
00:45:55The issues with Drew and Cody are clearly a long, long way from being Ober.
00:46:01Of course, all the emotion with John Cena's last match for Cody too.
00:46:17What an incredible way he honored Cena to carry that emotion even onto the post-show afterwards.
00:46:23Now, all the drama with Drew McIntyre.
00:46:27What about that home invasion?
00:46:29Uncharacteristic and I would say unbecoming of a WWE Champion.
00:46:35I agree.
00:46:36I question the mental state of Cody Rose right now.
00:46:39Clearly, Drew McIntyre firmly under the skin of the champion.
00:46:43That's how far this thing has gone.
00:46:45No!
00:46:47I am the king and you're the king!
00:47:11Hershey P.A.
00:47:13What do you want to talk about?
00:47:19Okay, did I go to Drew McIntyre's home?
00:47:25Did a member of law enforcement get thrown into the water?
00:47:28Did things get physical?
00:47:30Yes.
00:47:33But Drew McIntyre has stated that WWE currently is an unsafe working environment.
00:47:46That's all of you.
00:47:49He said that we collectively are an unsafe working environment.
00:47:55So Drew, you are surrounded by MMA stars, second generation wrestlers, NIL, college, and pro athletes.
00:48:08What would be a safe environment for you?
00:48:11Staples?
00:48:12And besides, that little yard brawl was one tenth of what should happen right here, right now, with me and Drew McIntyre in this very ring.
00:48:29Cody, I don't think you appreciate the situation you've got yourself into.
00:48:34Or me, or the company, actually.
00:48:38See, Drew is claiming an unsafe work environment.
00:48:42And you and I know that that's a load of crap.
00:48:44But the problem is, is when you showed up at his house and started a brawl, you made his point for him.
00:48:54And to make things worse, I had to make a bad deal.
00:48:59Because you made me look like a liar.
00:49:01So I'm telling you this is your friend.
00:49:07Yes, you're the champ.
00:49:10QB won.
00:49:12But you're not above the law.
00:49:14And I can't help you with that one.
00:49:17Cody, you should have trusted me to get this thing over the finish line.
00:49:24But you didn't.
00:49:26So now, when Drew comes back, if he pays the fine and makes that public apology to Dan Engler,
00:49:35Cody, you can't lay a finger on Drew McIntyre.
00:49:47Or what?
00:49:48Nick, or what?
00:49:52Or I have to strip you of the WWE Championship.
00:49:57You want me to acquiesce to that demand and your demand?
00:50:09Okay, I can guarantee you that I will not touch Drew McIntyre.
00:50:16But in the spirit of all these demands, I should ask you something.
00:50:24I feel like Nick, I feel like you've forgotten who you're talking to.
00:50:34Right?
00:50:35Ask our mutual friend Wade Barrett right there who you're talking to.
00:50:40Ask Marty on the camera who you're talking to.
00:50:43You should say my name because you know it.
00:50:46I'm the one who sent the tweet that changed the game.
00:50:49I'm the one who came back here and won the Royal Rumble not once but twice.
00:50:53I am the reigning king of the ring.
00:50:55I unseated the tribal chief Roman Reigns.
00:50:58And I even defeated the greatest of all time John Cena for this title.
00:51:03I'm QB1, damn it!
00:51:11And here you are saying that I'm not above the law as long as I have this title.
00:51:16I am the law!
00:51:21Mr. Aldis, my friend, your demand, his demand.
00:51:25Remember one thing, while I am holding this, I don't work for you.
00:51:30I work for them.
00:51:32And you, my friend, you work for me.
00:51:40You work for me.
00:51:47Rody Rhodes is one bad, bad dude.
00:51:50Never forget that, Nicole.
00:51:52There's QB1 and the WWE champ.
00:51:56The man who changed the game.
00:51:59Everything in the soul.
00:52:01Everything in the soul.
00:52:05Hey, listen, Melo.
00:52:07I'm not usually the type of person who settles for others.
00:52:11Like, being the United States champion,
00:52:13usually people come out and settle for me, but...
00:52:16after what you did for me last week, I just wanted to say...
00:52:22Really.
00:52:23Look.
00:52:24Don't even mention it.
00:52:25Tommaso screwed me out that championship, so I had to go and get it back in blood.

00:55:00It's the franchise where I'm shining, now, now.
00:55:03You can't see me, my time is now, now.
00:55:05You can't see me, my time is now, now.
00:55:08Ciampa and Gargano with Candice LeRae focused and ready
00:55:13for what should be a great match opposite opponents
00:55:17who definitely want a piece of them.
00:55:20Come on!
00:55:37I'm rolling!
00:55:39Because I'm the greatest, ain't no hatin', I'm the best pick.
00:55:41You want your shot, well, I guess you wait till next year.
00:55:44I'm at the top, get respect, while I get big.
00:55:47Who got a problem, huh?
00:55:49Tell them to step ahead.
00:55:50Step ahead.
00:55:51What?
00:55:52Yeah.
00:55:53Cuz I'm the greatest to argue with nothing.
00:55:55And to opponents, the team of Carmelo Hayes and the United States Champion,
00:56:05Ilya Dragunov.
00:56:09Well, the Mad Dragonweight has kept up the great standards of the US Championship
00:56:13and being a fighting champion, but thank goodness Carmelo Hayes was nearby a week ago.
00:56:18Yeah, this was last ring on SmackDown.
00:56:20Ciampa taking on Ilya Dragunov for the United States Championship.
00:56:25Lot of extracurriculars on the outside, but it was an absolute war inside the ring
00:56:30with Ilya Dragunov, the champ, managing to pull out a win with this very quick pin against Ciampa.
00:56:39But hold the celebrations, guys, because DIY were rather unhappy with the result.
00:56:45But thankfully for Dragunov, another victim of DIYs came out to lend a hand in Carmelo Hayes,
00:56:52evening the odds, and this has led us to tonight.
00:56:56And I'm the best hit.
00:56:57You want your shot?
00:56:58Well, I guess you ain't too late.
00:57:00Right to action, not wasting any time.
00:57:03A great hand after right hand from Carmelo Hayes against Johnny Gargano.
00:57:10Well, Hayes and Dragunov just know this duo only too well and were fully aware
00:57:15there was likely to be a cheap shot start.
00:57:18They were lying in wait, ready for it, and it's back five badly now on DIY.
00:57:23What momentum that was created that time, and now Dragunov comes in with a knee.
00:57:27It is non-stop against Ciampa.
00:57:33Dragunov, a man who doesn't normally like to team with other people.
00:57:37However, he gained a major appreciation for the abilities and the respect that Carmelo Hayes
00:57:42a couple of weeks ago in their United States Championship clash.
00:57:46I'll say this about Ilya Dragunov.
00:57:48He is perhaps the most fightingest of fighting champs I've ever seen, insisting he goes to
00:57:56Raw every single week.
00:57:58I love it.
00:57:59It has been awesome to watch what he has done with his title reign.
00:58:03We saw him against Ciampa recently.
00:58:08Ciampa who campaigned for weeks and weeks to get that opportunity.
00:58:12Highly distraught that it went begging, thanks to the skills of Ilya Dragunov.
00:58:17Now looking to take out some revenge this week, but it's not going well.
00:58:21No, it isn't.
00:58:27Hayes revving that engine and delivering with the leg drop.
00:58:31He hooks the leg in the cover and quickly Ciampa out of it.
00:58:34Of course, Carmelo Hayes did a hell of a job in his match against Ilya Dragunov.
00:58:38Not close to winning the thing.
00:58:39That was until involvement from Tommaso Ciampa, which Ilya Dragunov didn't actually see.
00:58:44But it helped Ilya Dragunov end up winning the match.
00:58:47Now, the aftermath of that, of course, Ilya was kind of disgusted that he won it in such a way.
00:58:53So maybe at some point Carmelo Hayes and Dragunov will meet again.
00:58:57Oh, the world would love that.
00:58:59But for now, business to take care of in the form of DIY.
00:59:03Yeah, that was back on December 5th, and as you mentioned, it goes against the grain of everything he is.
00:59:08Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:59:09As soon as our official's back was turned, Johnny Gargano up on the apron to tear him down.
00:59:16Oh, no!
00:59:17That is just a DIY way as the jaw of Ilya Dragunov may have just shattered against our desk.
00:59:29Pat yourself on the back, DIY.
00:59:34Joe and Wade in for Michael Cole and Corey Graves here on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:59:47A week ago, Tommaso Ciampa lost in the United States Championship match against Ilya Dragunov.
00:59:52But was attacked afterwards.
00:59:53Carmelo Hayes came to his aid.
00:59:55And now tag team action between these four former NXT champions.
01:00:00And it has been all DIY ever since Candice LeRae got involved.
01:00:05And they've been putting a stomping on Ilya Dragunov ever since.
01:00:10But Ilya Dragunov finally showing some signs of life.
01:00:14Is he ever?
01:00:16ever.
01:00:17Constantine special Dragunov.
01:00:19Does he have enough left in the tank to get this tag to a fresh Carmelo Hayes?
01:00:25So Carmelo Hayes can show the world why he is him.
01:00:30Hayes is ready to explode.
01:00:32Here he comes after Gargano and delivers to Ciampa.
01:00:39What a shot. Backs him up to the ropes.
01:00:41Oh man oh man springboard.
01:00:46Like a cat.
01:00:49Would you look at this from Hayes.
01:00:51La Mystica.
01:00:54I'm gonna tell you something.
01:00:55The movement of Carmelo Hayes is just governed by a different set of rules to everyone else on planet.
01:01:01Oh my god.
01:01:02Yeah there is no gravity.
01:01:03Sticks the landing too.
01:01:06Meanwhile, the Mad Dragon.
01:01:09Massive Senton off the top.
01:01:12To put it away.
01:01:16That high flying Senton after everything Carmelo Hayes did.
01:01:21Check this action.
01:01:22Carmelo Hayes taking that Ciampa and sticking the landing.
01:01:26And then this sky high Senton from the top rope.
01:01:30Right to the midsection of Gargano.
01:01:33Not quite enough to put away DIY.
01:01:36But you feel that is getting closer and closer.
01:01:40What an amazing powers of recovery here from the Mad Dragon.
01:01:43Shows exactly why he is an almost unbeatable United States champ at times.
01:01:49With a tag there. I don't think Gargano saw it.
01:01:51Hayes.
01:01:52Oh out of the way is Johnny.
01:01:54Oh they got him in a compromised position in that corner.
01:01:58With a super kick.
01:01:59And now DIY gains some momentum.
01:02:03Do they ever.
01:02:04A mistake there from Carmelo Hayes.
01:02:07Oh nasty nasty landing there.
01:02:10Project Ciampa.
01:02:12Off the Project Ciampa right into the cover.
01:02:14And meanwhile the Mad Dragon saves it.
01:02:16That powerbomb onto the knees is something that Project Ciampa.
01:02:20Time and again we've seen the success he has with it.
01:02:22To match with it if not really a dragon off.
01:02:25And now this one's spilling out all over the place.
01:02:27Oh right into the post.
01:02:28It's Ciampa and Hayes who are legal.
01:02:31And Ciampa now going in for the kill.
01:02:33He takes down that knee pad.
01:02:35But Carmelo Hayes smart enough to see it coming.
01:02:44Oh Candice LeRae.
01:02:46And LeRae in full behind the referee's back.
01:02:49And there's a KO blow to the temple.
01:02:51This could be over because of that.
01:02:54Hayes able to get the shoulder up.
01:02:57And Ciampa's in complete disbelief.
01:03:00With Dragunov down.
01:03:01Dragunov may be out.
01:03:03And now the double whammy.
01:03:06Very tail ending.
01:03:07Right here.
01:03:12He survives it again.
01:03:13Talk about the toughness of Carmelo Hayes.
01:03:16That move has put so many away.
01:03:18But now I've got a feeling this might be the ending.
01:03:20You know where they're going to meet.
01:03:21This might be the ending.
01:03:22Right in the middle.
01:03:23This will be over right here from DIY Wade.
01:03:26Slow down.
01:03:28Oh no Dragunov.
01:03:31How about it first 48.
01:03:34This one twisting back and forth.
01:03:37Such movement.
01:03:38So many swings.
01:03:40H-Bomb delivered.
01:03:42The Mad Dragon.
01:03:44But they're not done yet.
01:03:47Nothing but net as big as he could go.
01:03:57Here are your winners.
01:04:03The team of Carmelo Hayes.
01:04:07And the United States champion.
01:04:11Ilya Dragunov.
01:04:16Well instant chemistry from these two victors against a veteran tag team.
01:04:21We've been together over 10 years.
01:04:23It needed a mind blowing performance.
01:04:26And we got it.
01:04:27And glorious victory for Ilya Dragunov.
01:04:30And Carmelo Hayes.
01:04:36Excuse me.
01:04:37Alexa. Charlotte.
01:04:38Can I get a comment on why you guys attack Nia Jax and Lash Legend earlier tonight?
01:04:42I mean what message are you trying to send?
01:04:45The message that if you look too far in the future.
01:04:47You tend to forget who's standing right in front of you.
01:04:49Now Rhea and Io have a tag team title match on January 5th.
01:04:52And I'm sure Lash and Nia I think that they're next in line.
01:04:55But they're not.
01:04:56They're in our way.
01:04:57And whoever wins the tag team championships.
01:04:59We'll be waiting.
01:05:00Okay.
01:05:10Actually Jade.
01:05:11Jade.
01:05:12Since you're here.
01:05:14Is there anything you'd like to say about attacking Meechan last week on SmackDown?
01:05:18It's okay.
01:05:19It's the season.
01:05:20So I guess I'll say something nice.
01:05:22I was shocked to see Meechan get back up after I knocked her down.
01:05:26Now she and the rest, they gonna take these L's.
01:05:29Now I'm big on charity.
01:05:31So I'm gonna give her a little spotlight.
01:05:34And then I'm gonna knock her lights out.
01:05:37Now we done?
01:05:39Yeah.
01:05:40Yeah.
01:05:41I can't scratch sleep.
01:05:43It seems like you forgot.
01:05:44Let me remind you.
01:05:46What are you doing?
01:05:48Get up.
01:05:49Get up.
01:05:50Get up.

01:06:04You all right?
01:06:05Still to come, the WWE Tag Team Championship match.
01:06:10The Wyatt Six and the MFT's Solo Sokoa has made his statement.
01:06:17Can they deliver?
01:06:18We find out on Friday Night SmackDown.
01:06:21We find out on Friday Night SmackDown.
01:06:25A reminder when the new year starts, you get even more Friday Night SmackDown.
01:06:30As SmackDown will move to three hours starting on January 2nd.
01:06:34Let's tell you what you're in store for on next week's Friday Night SmackDown.
01:06:39We just saw him perform in tag action.
01:06:42He never gets a week off.
01:06:44But that is how he likes it.
01:06:46The United States Championship will be on the line in an open challenge as Ilya Dragunov defends
01:06:53against...
01:06:54Well, we'll find out next week.
01:06:55And just say his name after all the controversy with The Miz and what happened in the last time
01:07:02is now tournament.
01:07:03It's a battle between Joe Hendry and The Miz.
01:07:06We all believe.
01:07:08And of course, the Scottish psychopath himself, a victim of a home invasion from WWE champ, Cody Rhodes.
01:07:18Post suspension, Drew McIntyre returns to SmackDown next week.
01:07:28Howdy.
01:07:29You talk a whole lot of nonsense about absolutely nothing.
01:07:34But when you threaten my family, that's when we got a problem.
01:07:39You think this is a game, huh?
01:07:41When it comes to my family, I don't play no damn games.
01:07:44You understand me?
01:07:45We are going to humiliate you.
01:07:47Embarrass you in front of the whole wide world.
01:07:52Wait.
01:07:53You hear that?
01:07:54Can you hear that?
01:07:56The Fireflies are here.
01:07:57And they are going to watch us take those tag team titles.
01:08:10Because whether they like it or not, I've got the whole world in my hands.
01:08:23He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
01:08:28Feel free.
01:08:34Well that is one way to get under the skin of Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt 6.
01:08:40But it's something Solo Sokoa does better than anything.
01:08:45Does he ever?
01:08:46The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:09:05And it's for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
01:09:13Introducing the challengers,
01:09:15accompanied by Solo Sokoa, the MMT.
01:09:25Look at that face of Solo Sokoa.
01:09:28I draw the dog.
01:09:29Strong message delivers a Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Six.

01:10:36Bay, you can pull away.
01:10:39Always, when things break, things shatter, keep it real on your face, that little details matter.
01:10:53Only, when things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only things break, only
01:11:23Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Six have heard everything that Solo Sokoa has said.
01:11:43Dexter Loomis and Joe Gacy with those belts in hand.
01:11:48Gold on the line here on SmackDown.
01:11:52A war of words for months now, Joe attempts at intimidation from both sides.
01:11:59Finally a rather ungentlemanly agreement for this championship opportunity.
01:12:04And of course the Wyatts targeted Solo Sokoa and the MFTs several months back.
01:12:11Unimpressed with how Solo Sokoa treats his family.
01:12:16Solo Sokoa didn't particularly like his original family so he traded them in for the MFTs.
01:12:21Got himself a new one and these MFTs are a majorly dangerous unit in every way.
01:12:31Needs a couple of right uppercuts as Loomis stalks his prey.
01:12:38Neatness of Dexter Loomis.
01:12:40That's one word to use.
01:12:41Yeah, that's a euphemism for a lot of other things we could say, isn't it?
01:12:45But as odd as he is, as unnerving as he is, he's utterly devastating in that ring.
01:12:52Jumps back with the leg drop and quickly tried to hook the leg and end things early here.
01:12:56Don't be thrown by the oddness of the Wyatts 6 in that ring.
01:13:02They are technically astute.
01:13:04Joe Gacy a major powerhouse in his own right.
01:13:07Having to put his body on the line in pursuit of victory.
01:13:11Or a hardcore style of wrestler.
01:13:14That's a good brawl.
01:13:16And he's going to get that and more tonight from Tonga Loa.
01:13:19And of course, his other partner tonight, J.C. Mateo.
01:13:27And J.C. Mateo, the powerhouse, is now into some action of his own.
01:13:34J.C. Mateo might be the most trusted soldier of Solo Sokoa's.
01:13:39He was the first piece of Solo Sokoa's rebuild when he put this MFT unit together.
01:13:45And he's been utterly devastating ever since.
01:13:48Just a ball of muscles.
01:13:50We've got an outmaneuver now by Joe Gacy.
01:13:53Gacy delivers the drop kick and now tags Dexter Loomis.
01:13:56Let's see the teamwork from the Wyatts 6 in action here.
01:14:00Show exactly why they are the tag team champions.
01:14:03That's what you get with Loomis and Gacy.
01:14:07And the senton as he comes off the ropes.
01:14:10Lateral press in the hook of the leg.
01:14:12And rolling out to safety is J.C. Mateo.
01:14:17Having time to talk a little tactics on the outside here as Solo Sokoa has made himself comfortable.
01:14:23And we're still outshadowed by the massive presence of Talon Tonga.
01:14:28Every time I look to my left here, I'm always a little concerned with this ringside.
01:14:35Mateo just able to get out of the way as Joe Gacy was charging.
01:14:38Giant arm of Tonga Loa clubbing across the face.
01:14:47God.
01:14:48Look at this.
01:14:49Look at the power.
01:14:51Right into the post and then throws him down to the floor.
01:14:55Way to break someone's spine.
01:14:56J.C. Mateo.
01:14:58Look at stupid.
01:14:59That's what I'm talking about.
01:15:04The imposing Tonga Loa taking advantage here.
01:15:08WWE Tag Team Championship match.
01:15:10Solo Sokoa has put forth his MFTs.
01:15:14He says they have walked in ready for war.
01:15:16They're going to walk out as the new champions over the Wyatt Six.
01:15:19And their respective units are looking on.
01:15:23Could be right here.
01:15:25Hopefully or in desperation in the case of the Wyatt Six as the Tag Team Championships hang in the balance here.
01:15:32But they are undeniably moving closer and closer to the coaches of the MFTs who've looked completely dominant since getting the upper hand.
01:15:41Just playing so really soft.
01:15:43That moment Uncle Howdy, the concern on his face.
01:15:46Big Eric Rowan and Nikki Cross.
01:15:48Because in the ring right now, Dexter Loomis over in that corner.
01:15:52He cannot escape Loa and J.C. Mateo.
01:15:55Well, I can't imagine either of these sides either going back to Uncle Howdy or to Solo Sokoa having disappointed them in this match.
01:16:03Both teams know they better win this thing.
01:16:07Solo Sokoa has been very outspoken, directing those messages straight to Uncle Howdy.
01:16:13The message is clear.
01:16:14The entire mentality of the MFTs is the acquisition of every single piece of gold here on SmackDown.
01:16:24And this could be the first piece of the puzzle.
01:16:27Slam and right to the cover of Mateo.
01:16:31And now he hooks the leg but can't capture gold.
01:16:35You can see the frustration on his face for a moment there as back to work he goes.
01:16:40Mateo is a human battering ram.
01:16:42And right now the body of Dexter Loomis has taken a devastating battering over the past several minutes.
01:16:49And it does not get easier when the massive Tonga Loa gets in there.
01:16:53Nothing technical, nothing pretty about Tonga Loa.
01:16:58More likely to rip your eyeballs out than a player.
01:17:01Technical hold.
01:17:04Caving the ribcage of Dexter Loomis.
01:17:06Absolutely.
01:17:07They are coming closer and closer to capturing the Tag Team Championships.
01:17:13Tonga Loa is coming closer and closer to becoming unglued with frustration.
01:17:17He knows full well this should be in his clutches by now.
01:17:21But taking a beat too long to do anything about it and getting tagged on the jaw.
01:17:25Well, he gets dragged back by the waist as he was just about to get to Joe Gacy.
01:17:30Look how nimble Dexter Loomis is.
01:17:33Finishing up with that super kick to the jaw of JC Mateo.
01:17:37Boy, oh boy, do they need this tag.
01:17:40Here he comes.
01:17:42Joe Gacy.
01:17:44Well, that lunatic Nikki Cross is running around the outside of the ring too.
01:17:47I'll try and focus on the match.
01:17:50Look at Gacy.
01:17:50Rallying back to Wyatt Six.
01:17:53Look at what he's able to do to Mateo.
01:17:55Give him the Suplex Specialist a taste of his own medicine.
01:18:00Massive right hand from Gacy.
01:18:05And showing you just enough power and grit.
01:18:09Oh, but cannot retain right there.
01:18:13Stalling Saito Suplex against a man the size of Jason.
01:18:17What the hell?
01:18:17Getting out of the way was JC Mateo off that springboard attempt.
01:18:23Oh.
01:18:25And this could be it for Gold right here.
01:18:28Getting that left shoulder up.
01:18:30So much talk in that side Suplex from JC Mateo, the former Olympian.
01:18:35Gacy at his best.
01:18:41Unfeasible athleticism from Joe Gacy.
01:18:44And that was about to take two, Tangaloa.
01:18:46Tangaloa gets some.
01:18:48Joe Gacy, one man showing it right now.
01:18:52You can't judge a buck by his cover when it comes to Joe Gacy.
01:18:56This guy can do some crazy stuff like that.
01:19:00Throwing his body on the line.
01:19:03Taking out two men in one go.
01:19:05And perhaps give him the opportunity for the Wyatt Six to finish this thing for good.
01:19:10And now everything Solo Sokoa said could go the other way right here.
01:19:16Suplex powerbomb combo.
01:19:18And JC Mateo may be out.
01:19:20But why not look up with the win, Joe Tess?
01:19:24Loomis is going to fly away.
01:19:25This to hold on to goal and the save.
01:19:32Well, Tangaloa had to be on point with that breakup because why that was JC Mateo.
01:19:37And now we're going to go.
01:19:38Oh, no.
01:19:39And that's behind the referees.
01:19:41Back the massive Tangaloa.
01:19:42Keep your eyes open though.
01:19:44Rowan takes him out.
01:19:45Oh, it's on.
01:19:46It is on on the floor.
01:19:48It was a matter of when, not in.
01:19:52Oh, my.
01:19:54Nowhere safe to you.
01:19:55Nowhere safe.
01:19:56Oh, no.
01:19:57Uncle Howdy's in the mix.
01:19:58Oh, my God.
01:19:58It is an all-out brawl between the MFTs and the Wyatt Six.
01:20:03This one's thrown out.
01:20:05This is craziness here.
01:20:08Pandemonium breaking out in our main event.
01:20:11This one has been thrown out by the referee.
01:20:13Good luck getting control of this.
01:20:16We need a stun gun.
01:20:17We need tasers.
01:20:19We need tear gas.
01:20:20We need riot police.
01:20:22This is out of control, Barrett.
01:20:24Absolutely out of control.
01:20:27It's been bubbling up for weeks.
01:20:30Tolotonga was out on the floor.
01:20:34He did damage.
01:20:35And Big Rowan said, not so fast.
01:20:38And now everywhere you look, they are flying at each other.
01:20:43Now the two bosses, Uncle Howdy and Solo, Sekoua getting into it too.
01:20:48Who would want to be in the front row for this?
01:20:51Keep well back.
01:20:53As they send it, Joe Casey is well in the numbers game in the center of the ring.
01:20:57Oh, the numbers game.
01:20:58Talk about the numbers game.
01:21:00Tolotonga is a one-man numbers game.
01:21:03And he's going up top.
01:21:05He's almost seven foot tall.
01:21:06Oh, a cross-body wipeout.
01:21:18Rowan with a dropkick.
01:21:20Well, why is six-eight?
01:21:22We've got a monster of our own in, Eric Rowan.
01:21:32Nikki wants a piece of it.
01:21:35She says, I want in.
01:21:36She's out of her damn mind.
01:21:37That's why.
01:21:40A Nikki bomb.
01:21:48Big spike.
01:21:49A Samoan spike.
01:21:51A Samoan spike.
01:21:54Turn around, Solo.
01:21:56Guess who's there.
01:21:58Sister Abigail.
01:21:59Oh.
01:22:00Oh.
01:22:04Wyatt Six.
01:22:06MLTs.
01:22:08Absolutely wild.
