00:00Cape Capital, it's long been a red-hot crucible of fan passion in this industry.
00:04Tonight, we've come west to Wembley, right next to London's famed stadium that has shaped global sports for generations.
00:13We're at the venerable, long-standing Wembley Arena, in his home to Friday Night Smackdown tonight.
00:20And Randy Orton has made his intentions clear.
00:242026 is about a fight for a strike at the top.
00:27He's here in London, determined to draw closer to his target.
00:31The target is earning a spot in a Fatal 4-Way for the number one contender to the Undisputed Championship.
00:37And it's The Miz who stands in Orton's way.
00:41Orton versus The Miz to advance.
00:43Also looking for a spot in that number one contender's Fatal 4-Way is Damian Priest.
00:49He goes from his epic ambulance match of recent weeks to now a brutal matchup.
00:54He's up against the dangerous solo, Sokoa.
00:57And you see the MFTs, the leader of the MFTs, is out to claim his spot for the big prize.
01:04And nearly six years away from WWE, and now Matt Cardona is back.
01:10He let it be known that this phase of his career has only big plans.
01:13Well, tonight, they include the brash, bold, rising star, Rick Williams.
01:20Cardona versus Williams in the number one contender's Fatal 4-Way qualifying match.
01:26And the last time Elliot Dragunov was in with Sami Zayn, it was an H-bomb closeout for the U.S. Championship win.
01:33He said he has more big plans in 2026.
01:37Sami Zayn has arrived in London with so much on the line.
01:42And these two men, perhaps the most intense number one contender's Fatal 4-Way qualifying match to come your way.
01:48It'll be the Mad Dragon versus Sami.
01:51While we juggle this unique European tour schedule at a sold-out Wembley Arena,
01:58and we're changing up the assignments just a little bit for tonight, we're thrilled to do so.
02:02Joe Tessitore joined by my man Corey Graves.
02:06How great is this crowd tonight, Graves?
02:07This atmosphere is unbelievable.
02:09We have a brand-new, undisputed WWE champion, and it sounds like London is ready to party.
02:15Let's get it.
02:16Corey, things have changed just in the past couple weeks since you went over to Raw here.

13:12tonight, you bunch of mentalists.
13:19And I just
13:20want to say to each
13:22and every one of you out there,
13:25screw you.
13:31This isn't me doing
13:32the bad guy wrestler bit.
13:35No, seriously, screw you.
13:37When I got fired,
13:43where were you?
13:45You want to jump on the bandwagon right now?
13:4899% of you
13:49weren't there for me.
13:51When Roman Reigns and the bloodline
13:53were making my life hell
13:55and screwing me over,
13:57there was no uprising, was there?
14:00How did you help me out?
14:02When CM Punk
14:03was screwing me over
14:05time and time again,
14:06you were cheering Roman
14:08and doing that stupid
14:09yeet with Jay.
14:11That's what you were doing.
14:15And there's Cody and his referees.
14:18Match after match,
14:19I get screwed.
14:20Is there a hashtag for Drew?
14:22No, you did nothing.
14:25There's only one person
14:26I need to thank.
14:28The only person
14:29that ever believed in me
14:31and knew I could be world champion.
14:33And that person
14:34is me.
14:36So thank you, Drew McIntyre.
14:42If you want to chant something,
14:44chant thank you, Drew.
14:45Thank you, Drew.
14:53There is one person
14:55I need to address, though.
14:57The former.
14:58Oh, that feels good.
15:01Cody, I know you're backstage
15:04and I know it cuts like a knife
15:06every time I say this.
15:09Former,
15:09former,
15:11former champion,
15:13Cody Rhodes.
15:14Cody, I know you're a crack team
15:27are trying to figure out
15:28a title match.
15:29I'm going to save you the time
15:31before our match,
15:32three stages of hell.
15:33I had Aldous
15:34add a clause
15:35into the contract.
15:38Since 90% of Americans
15:40can't read,
15:41I'll tell you what it is.
15:44Cody,
15:45there will be no rematch.
15:48You have to start
15:50at the bottom.
15:51You have to work your way
15:52back up.
15:54The vanilla
15:54QB1 era
15:56is over
15:57and the dangerous,
15:58unpredictable
15:59Drew McIntyre era
16:01begins tonight.
16:07Oh!
16:12It doesn't look like
16:13our new champion
16:14predicted this arrival.
16:16The Viper

16:43to obey.
16:46I hear voices
16:48crying.

18:31Miranda
18:31I
18:33assume
18:34you come
18:35out to
18:35Drew, I think you and all of these people in London
18:46know that we do not like each other one bit.
18:50So no, Drew, I am not out here to congratulate you.
18:56I'm out here to remind you.
18:59A few months ago, you had the opportunity
19:01to kick my head through that announce table,
19:03and you declined, so...
19:07I just wanted to tell you, man to man,
19:16that when I get the opportunity to return the favor,
19:20I will not hesitate.
19:23I've beaten you for that title before,
19:25and I will do it again.
19:26And when I do, it'll be courtesy of the three most dangerous letters
19:30in all, all of sports entertainment.
19:33R-K-O!
19:38R-K-O!
19:46R-K-O!
19:47R-K-O!
19:48R-K-O!
19:49R-K-O!
19:51Oh, Joe, almost a week ago, when his entrance came, shockingly, to interrupt the three stages of health.
20:05Jacob Batu, you see the look in the champion's eyes, the werewolf is in London.
20:14Jacob Batu, storming toward the ring, but to the dismay of Drew McIntyre, who's stuck between a rock and a hard place right now.
20:27He's coming straight to him, and he's getting after him.
20:30He levels the undisputed champion with a right hand, smashes his head into the announced desk.
20:36Jacob Batu is on the loose once again.
20:39Oh, right into the post.
20:41Andrew McIntyre is trying to get away, and one elbow creates enough separation to seemingly do so as Batu looks to chase him down through Wembley Arena.
20:54McIntyre forced to hightail it out of here.
20:56Oh, there's the Miz!
20:59Skull-crushing finale, the Miz!
21:02They're set to go at it!
21:05The qualifying match begins next!
21:11This January, the moments await.
21:16The eyes of the world are on this tonight!
21:19In Riyadh.
21:23The city.
21:26The excitement.
21:28Oh, my God!
21:29The energy.
21:31Listen to this place!
21:33Experience Royal Rumble.
21:35Dreams will come true!
21:37Getting pumped up for Riyadh's season with Royal Rumble.
21:41Experience Riyadh.
21:42We're already underway here.
21:58Qualifying match for the number one contender, Fatal 4-Way, which will be on Saturday night's main event to see to be in position to battle Drew McIntyre.
22:07It is Randy Orton and the Miz, and Corey Graves, the Miz wasted no time.
22:12Cover here by the A-lister.
22:13Trying to qualify.
22:14A skull-crushing finale.
22:16Then brings out the referee.
22:18Then we get the bell to start next.
22:20It may have been a questionable maneuver, but very smart from the Miz, who was out here pleading with our official Ryan Tran to ring the bell, to make the match official.
22:28Only after confirming with Orton that he was, in fact, still willing to compete.
22:33But the Viper has been defanged thus far.
22:38Oh, Miz.
22:39Get away from it and avoid the impact with the desk.
22:44You see the smile wash across the face of Miz!
22:46And now Orton suffering a taste of his own medicine.
22:51As the Miz delivers.
22:53And then mocks Orton with the pose.
22:55You gotta think of the opportunity at hand, not only for Randy Orton, but for Miz as well.
23:00A man who is perpetually disrespected, despite all of his accolades in WWE.
23:05One of the most decorated superstars in history.
23:08Yet Miz is constantly overlooked and forgotten.
23:11If he punches his ticket to the fatal four-way, he's one step closer to the promised land and righting all those wrongs.
23:17Yeah, just ask him.
23:17We'll tell you all of that.
23:18In one breath.
23:21Happen to enjoy conversing with Miz.
23:23He's a very interesting man.
23:25Randy Orton, their toe-in-line, trading right hands now.
23:30It was a wild start to SmackDown here in London.
23:33Randy Orton was watching Jacob Fatu chase down Drew McIntyre.
23:37The next thing you know, the Miz was in the ring, delivering in a skull-crushing finale.
23:41The entire roster reminding Drew McIntyre that once you take the throne, you are a target.
23:47No matter where you are on the planet.
23:50Oh, scoop power slam!
23:51Vintage Orton arriving just in time, perhaps.
23:59Miz and Randy Orton, certainly familiar with one another.
24:01Both have incredibly storied careers.
24:03They've been rivals.
24:05They've stood beside one another.
24:06And in the end, the goal is simple.
24:09An RKO for the Viper to punch his ticket to the Fatal 4-Way a week from Saturday at Saturday night's main event.
24:17Look out, Joe!
24:18Great awareness by the Miz to get away from the dripping DDT.
24:21But now, he gets the real deal on the announce desk.
24:25Joe, I don't think Randy's finished yet.
24:30Not with that look.
24:33And Miz is going to pay the price.
24:35Oh!
24:37Oh!
24:38Oh!
24:38Oh!
24:38Oh!
24:38Oh!
24:38Oh!
24:38Oh!
24:39Oh!
24:39Oh!
24:39Oh!
24:40Oh!
24:41Oh!
24:42Oh!
24:42Oh!
24:43Oh!
24:44Oh!
24:45Oh!
24:46Oh!
24:47Oh!
24:48Oh!
24:49Oh!
24:50Oh!
24:51Oh!
24:52Oh!
24:53Oh!
24:54Oh!
24:55Oh!
24:55Horton breaking the count in order to inflict even more damage to the A-lister.
25:03Things beginning to look bleak already for the Miz.
25:08Horton giving Chase back inside now, once again, looking for the draping DDT.
25:13And this time, after all the damage that's done, he delivers!
25:18And despite the pre-match attack executed by the Miz, the tables have turned back into the
25:32favor of Randy Orton.
25:35He wants it.
25:36And here in London, they're ready to roar for the three most destructive letters.
25:42But the Miz, able to counter!
25:45And again, the cover to advance and qualify!
25:49Right shoulder gets up with just a moment to spare from Randy Orton.
25:55And that can be a heartbreaker if you're the Miz, when you've landed not one, but two of your best shots in the form of skull crushing finales, and Orton still survives!
26:06Doubt begins to creep into your mind!
26:08this is where the Miz needs to be
26:13relentless
26:14going for it again Corey
26:17Gordon Sensen
26:19coming that time
26:20RKO there looking for a quick walk from the Miz

35:58coast and our
35:58累
35:59her
35:59contests
35:59Awesome reception for one of the greatest of all time.
36:29And their opponents making their way to the ring.
36:54It was Alexa who got the phone call prior to the match against Julia that Charlotte was
37:14out sick.
37:15Couldn't make it to the locker room and be ringside to be by Bliss's side.
37:19You saw the aftermath of what happened.
37:21Tell me, Joe, as smart of a man as you are, that you're following this whole charade,
37:25this whole bit.
37:26Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair are not best friends.
37:30They never have been.
37:31They never will be.
37:32They are two of the greatest individual superstars in WWE history.
37:36But this whole frenemies thing, this ain't it.
37:39This is all means to an end.
37:40Mark my words.
37:41Yeah, but they do the little heart thing with their hands where one half and then they make
37:45the, you know.
37:46I'm not doing it with you, Joe.
37:48We're not doing it.
37:48No.
37:49We're not even on camera.
37:50You take your hand and then the little.
37:51Yeah.
37:51Now I know what it is.
37:53Look, Charlotte Flair on her own.
37:56Amazing.
37:56Alexa Bliss on her own.
37:58Great.
37:59The machine is not greater than the sum of its parts in my humble opinion.
38:03Whereas on the other side of the ring, you've got Kiana James.
38:05You've got Julia who make no false assumptions about the nature of their business, of their
38:11relationship.
38:12It is strictly professional.
38:13It's about money.
38:14It's about success.
38:15It's about opportunities.
38:17And think of the opportunities that will come their way if they're able to knock off
38:21Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss at the same time.
38:23So you give credit to this woman who's in the ring right now, Kiana James, for the job
38:28that she has done in everything and guiding Julia back to the United States Championship.
38:33A couple weeks ago, Julia Ford started her second reign with this title after topping
38:39Chelsea Green.
38:39And I wouldn't say that Kiana has necessarily guided Julia so much as facilitated the process.
38:45Kiana uses her business acumen, which she has beyond our industry, to secure opportunities,
38:51to make sure that Julia is getting the chances she deserves.
38:55And right now, Alexa Bliss getting all over Kiana James.
38:58Good start for Bliss.
39:00Oh, a big knee is.
39:02Kiana James just followed her into the ropes and now delivers the suplex.
39:09And I think somehow Kiana James has flown under the radar here in WWE.
39:13This is a young woman who improves each and every time she steps into the ring.
39:17She's in there holding her own with one of the best of all time, Charlotte Flair, right
39:20now.
39:20And I don't think that should be overlooked.
39:23Charlotte drives her into that corner.
39:24And then the uppercut is delivered from James.
39:27Kiana James has all the tools to be a major player here in WWE.
39:32She has the physical ability, the athleticism.
39:35She looks fantastic.
39:37She's double tough.
39:39Tag made to Alexa Bliss.
39:41Oh, look at this.
39:43You're telling me that's not friendship?
39:45That's not synchronicity and teamwork here?
39:47No, it's called they got stuck watching Dancing with the Stars on the flight over and they decided
39:51to reenact it to try to convince these schlubs in the crowd.
39:54Oh, big right hand from Alexa.
39:56And there goes Julia.
39:58And it's Julia and Kiana James look to take control here in London.
40:20The beautiful Madness now taking control of this tag team contest for her team.
40:26Alexa Bliss in the wrong part of town right now, Jill.
40:29Two-time women's United States champion is Julia.
40:33Just as we mentioned, a couple weeks into her second reign.
40:36Of course, she had the success at NXT before coming here to SmackDown.
40:41Getting the best of Chelsea Green.
40:43And now Kiana James.
40:45A little spotlight moment for Kiana James to be in this tag team and see what she can deliver.
40:50You're on the roster and you see your name across from someone with the status of a Charlotte Flair
40:54or Alexa Bliss.
40:55It's exciting.
40:56You realize it's an opportunity.
40:58Even though you may not be the featured name on the marquee in that instance,
41:02it's a chance to prove that you belong, that you can hang with the best of the best,
41:06that you may be better than the best of the best.
41:08A 14-time world champion in Charlotte Flair.
41:11A five-time world champion.
41:12Future Hall of Fame.
41:13And here's Kiana James.
41:16Julia getting the best.
41:17She's pulling back on the nostrils.
41:20That time of Alexa Bliss.
41:21That compromised position as her back was arching against the rope.
41:25And you can see Charlotte trying to come to her aid, but with the referee turned.
41:29Now the double-teaming and getting the best of Alexa.
41:31That was a very wise decision by Julia to get under the skin of Charlotte Flair on the outside,
41:36force the official to keep Charlotte out of the ring and use double-team tactics.
41:40Oh, able to drop that elbow into the cover.
41:43Lateral press and a kick out by Alexa Bliss.
41:49I've watched a lot of Julia throughout her career, even predating her time in WWE.
41:53This is an absolutely lethal woman.
41:55And I feel like she still hasn't even hit that next year yet.
41:58She's already United States champion.
42:00But if Julia learns to fully unleash the way she had that got her to WWE,
42:05I think the sky may not even be the limit.
42:07I think it's beyond.
42:08Corey, what was it that got your attention right away with Julia?
42:12The ferocity with which she competes, her striking ability, her toughness in the ring.
42:16She's an absolute monster once she gets rolling.
42:20Cover here by James.
42:21Here she is, hooking the leg.
42:22Referee turned for a moment and cost her perhaps a beat.
42:28And again, I think Julia is a bit of a non-traditional competitor here in WWE,
42:32and that's where Kiana James has played such a major role.
42:35You mentioned having the total package, getting a look at the power,
42:37but look at the tactics and skill of Alexa Bliss.
42:40Able to counter and get those shoulders down.
42:44Keeping her away from Charlotte Flair.
42:47Almost make the tag and then drives the back into the court.
42:50It was almost as though Kiana was mocking Alexa Bliss,
42:52realizing that she wasn't going to make the tag.
42:54Oh, that shoulder driving right into the midsection.
42:58Kiana is a powerhouse, no doubt about it.
43:02You don't believe me?
43:02Just ask Alexa Bliss once she regains her breath.
43:07From the top, Julia.
43:10Missile drop kick on the money into the cover.
43:16Cover again by the champion, and Charlotte Flair's interference.
43:19Tag team action, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss against Julia and Kiana James,
43:28who have been getting the best of Alexa Bliss for many, many minutes right now, Corey.
43:33And this is just classic tag team strategy,
43:35being employed very successfully until that very moment.
43:38James and Julia did a great job of cutting the ring in half,
43:41isolating Alexa Bliss, not allowing Charlotte Flair to be a factor.
43:45You can feel the urgency of Kiana James right now,
43:48trying to stop Bliss from making the tag.
43:49And diving just to grab that leg.
43:53And here comes the queen, Charlotte Flair.
44:00This crowd in London as those Flair chops come in.
44:04Oh, how about a little for Julia as well?
44:11Every which way.
44:18Flair.
44:20Oh, that walkover, clothesline deliver.
44:28Kiana James in all types of trouble right now,
44:30at the mercy of the queen.
44:34Charlotte Flair up and over.
44:35Oh, what a boot!
44:38And delivers one to James as well.
44:40Charlotte Flair making the long climb to the top turnbuckle.
44:47Flair up top, going to fly through London, crossbody to put it away.
44:54And Kiana James able to kick out.
44:56Charlotte was actually attempting to hook both of Kiana's legs,
44:59but in doing so, took some of the pressure off of Kiana's shoulders,
45:02which may be the only reason James was able to escape.
45:04Great analysis there as James able to deliver the boot as Charlotte Flair running in
45:10and then floors James again.
45:15Steps right over, back to that corner, but Julia's there to meet her.
45:19She's got to deal with Julia, and with that,
45:22Kiana James able to get back to her feet.
45:25Mutually beneficial business partnership, Kiana James and Julia.
45:31Nice neckbreaker by the queen.
45:32Kiana James showing something against the 14-time world champion.
45:41Now here comes beautiful madness.
45:44Hook in the leg, look at a winner right here, and the save from Bliss.
45:47Julia with that Eriva Darchi knee right on the temple of Charlotte Flair.
45:51Bliss has re-entered the fray.
45:55And she gets pulled out of the ring by Kiana James.
45:58So it's all Julia looking to take control against Flair.
46:04Oh, the aggression behind these kicks.
46:07This is what I was talking about, Joe.
46:08When Julia steps on the gas pedal, she is downright dangerous.
46:13Charlotte follows up with a huge right hand.
46:17Oh, and then Julia delivers on the back end.
46:20Back and forth they go.
46:24Both women unloading heavy artillery in this tag team contest.
46:28Who wants it more?
46:30This is a great happenstance.
46:31Julia was able to be tagged by Kiana James.
46:34Kiana James, now the legal partner.
46:37Oh, Alexa Bliss is there!
46:39Alexa Bliss!
46:40Sister Abigail DDT is delivered to put her away.
46:46Two, three!
46:50Here are your winners, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss!
46:56That Sister Abigail came out of nowhere.
46:59Split seconds.
47:00It was great ring awareness, situational awareness.
47:03But Alexa Bliss, wait a minute.
47:05It's a jack.
47:05It's Legend.
47:08Last Legend just floors Bliss.
47:11And now it's two-on-one surrounding Charlotte Flair.
47:17And I don't care how many world championships you've won,
47:20you do not want to be outnumbered by Nia Jax and the bougie bully Lash Legend.
47:26They gave the warning backstage.
47:29They attacked a week ago as well.
47:33Oh, there's Julia.
47:34Center of the ring.
47:36Hey, hey, hey, hey.
47:37Get your girl.
47:38Get your girl.
47:39Get your girl.
47:39And James holding her back, saying we're good.
47:47Trying to be the voice of reason.
47:51And she does.
47:52She holds her back.
47:55Still to come, it was one of the most stunning nights in SmackDown history.
47:59The three stages of hell.
48:01But now, where does it leave Cody Rhodes?
48:03We will hear from the American Nightmare coming off the loss of the Undisputed Championship to Drew McIntyre next.
48:12They dream and I'm not.
48:14They dream and I ain't mine.
48:16I get it.
48:17I get it.
48:17I get it.
48:17I get it.
48:17I get it.
48:18The backpacks.
48:19Get it.
48:19Get it.
48:20Get it.
48:20I get it.
48:21Once we get a final score on Monday night.
48:46I just hope both teams have fun.
48:48Don't make a great picture.
48:53Bo, you're absolutely right.
48:58This is just more than a lantern.
49:01I can see the millions of fireflies across the world.
49:09And they are now in my possession.
49:12Your legacy is in my hands.
49:15And if you want this lantern back, I suggest you put those tag team titles on the line.
49:23But that's just the beginning.
49:26You see, my family is going to take back all the gold.
49:30But until then, I'm going to take real, real good care of this.
49:36And he is going to be with me when I take out Damien Priest and bring back the WWE undisputed title to the family.
