00:00Dragunov, a proud champion wants the best from his challengers.

00:09Does Hayes have enough left to topple the dominant Mad Dragon?

00:13Well, Dragunov getting the best to Hayes tonight as they wrestle outside toward

00:16the apron.

00:16Dragunov just nonstop.

00:23It's a dynamo, a machine.

00:26Dragunov, look at the power into a superplex.

00:32Here it comes.

00:36H-bomb time.

00:38Oh, Hayes got the knees up.

00:40And a kick stop right to the face.

00:43Dragunov planting Hayes, cover now to retain the championship.

00:51Kick out at two.

00:53Now maybe a frustrated Dragunov, chopping away at Hayes.

01:06Man, the punishment these two have put themselves through here tonight.

01:09Precarious position for both superstars.

01:18Dragunov once again looking for a superplex from the very top rope.

01:24Whoa!

01:28Oh my God!

01:29Hayes turned it into a cutter.

01:31What a counter by Carmelo Hayes.

01:34Superplex turned into a cutter.

01:36Hayes into the cover for the title.

01:39Dragunov kicks out.

01:40How the hell did he kick out?

01:43And that may have been Hayes' last chance.

01:45That was it.

01:46You could see Carmelo's heart break.

01:51And Hayes now out to the apron looking for a DDT, but Dragunov caught him.

01:56To still possess this type of power this deep into a matchup speaks volumes about the physical condition of Ilya Dragunov.

02:03What's Dragunov going to do here?

02:05Hayes in desperation, women elbows to the jaw.

02:09Both men bruised, battered, but too proud to quit.

02:19Beating the hell out of each other.

02:21Dragunov now, not on the apron.

02:25Hayes may be out.

02:33I'm not sure Carmelo Hayes has any idea where he is.

02:37Dragunov does though.

02:38He's got Hayes in his sights.

02:40Dragunov from the top rope.

02:44First 48!

02:46First 48!

02:48Melo's got a chance!

02:50Melo's got a chance!

02:52He's gonna do it!

02:53Carmelo Hayes, nothing but net!

02:57The cover!

02:59Case closed!

03:01Case closed!

03:02Hayes is a champion!

03:04Here is your winner, and the new United States Champion, Carmelo Hayes!

03:35What a fighting champion Ilya Dragunov was!

03:51And what a tremendous show of sportsmanship!

03:54Dragunov did not have to take this fight tonight!

03:57Dragunov did not have to take this match!

04:00But he had a bitter taste in his mouth after the way Hayes lost a couple of weeks ago!

04:05Tonight, he gave Carmelo Hayes an opportunity!

04:08And as Corey just said, on this night, Melo didn't miss!

04:14Ilya Dragunov went out on his shield!

04:18Dragunov can sleep well tonight, because he knows that in this instance, the better man won!

04:34Man, how good that must feel for this young man, who never thought he'd win the big one here on Friday Night SmackDown!

04:41All the doubts that had creeped in, all the whispers that he had heard so far in his career!

04:46That's all put to bed tonight!

04:48That's all put to rest!

04:50Because Carmelo Hayes is the brand new United States Champion!
