00:00To be continued...
00:30The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:39Introducing first, from New York City, playing in at 249 pounds, Damian Priest!
00:49Damian Priest claims Trick Williams is afraid of him.
01:01We're going to find out if that is the case.
01:06Trick Williams has dominated in NXT, but it is a different level here, and we're seeing currently just how far Trick Williams is capable of stepping up at the very top.
01:18This time, one-on-one with a former world champ, Damian Priest.
01:23They're going to be quite the 24 hours for Trick Williams.
01:28Two of the four men who compete in tomorrow night's Fatal 4-Way do battle in our main event.
01:35Damian Priest, Trick Williams, live next.
01:483 of the four men who compete in tomorrow night's Fatal 4-Way do battle in our main event.
01:533 of the four men who compete in tomorrow night's Fatal 4-Way do battle in our main event.
01:573 of the four men who compete in tomorrow night's Fatal 4-Way do battle in our main event.
02:013 of the four men who compete in tomorrow night's Fatal 4-Way do battle in our main event.
02:033 of the four men who compete in tomorrow night's Fatal 5-Way do battle in our main event.
02:053 of the four men who compete in tomorrow night's Fatal 5-Way do battle in our main event.
02:073 of the four men who compete in tomorrow night's Fatal 5-Way do battle in our main event.
02:09From the ruler to the Punisher, Damian Priest set for our main event.
02:39And his opponent, from Columbia, South Carolina,
03:07leg in at 240 pounds, Trick Williams!
03:15Trick had a lot to say earlier tonight, kicking off Friday Night Smackdown in the face of
03:20Montreal's own Sami Zayn.
03:23Sami Zayn's had way too many chances, and it is now Trick Williams' time.
03:27Damian Priestweed claims that Trick Williams is afraid of him.
03:31Well, it would be hugely understandable if Trick Williams was indeed intimidated by the
03:39massive presence and background of Damian Priest, but I personally don't believe that to be
03:45the case.
03:46I have never, in my time in NXT, Raw, or Smackdown, met a superstar brimming with as much confidence
03:54as Trick Willie.
03:56Well, Priest extremely confident as well, coming off that win in the physical, the brutal,
04:03the amazing ambulance match against Aleister Black a few weeks back.
04:08Here's what I'm fascinated about tonight, Cole.
04:10We are still trying to figure out where in the layer cake Trick Williams, at this point
04:15in his career, really sits here on Smackdown.
04:18And he's been brilliant so far, every time we've seen him compete, but now what a test
04:23this is, not just physically, against a huge opponent like Priest, but also someone with
04:28the credentials of being a former world champ.
04:31Let's see if you can really live with this, Trick.
04:34Well, you're not going to push Damian Priest around, but for Trick Williams, it has been a
04:37meteoric rise here in the few weeks that he's been on Friday Night Smackdown.
04:41He qualified for tomorrow night's Fatal 4-Away with a win over Matt Cardona last week.
04:47Think about the men he's in the ring with tomorrow night, the 14-time world champion
04:51Randy Orton, the great Sami Zayn, of course, the former world champion Damian Priest, and
04:56Trick Williams plans to go toe-to-toe with those three men.
04:59Roll up by Priest, kick out.
05:00Yeah, Trick is that X-factor tomorrow.
05:02He is probably the outsider just based on experience.
05:06Can you see him going to the Royal Rumble and squaring off against Drew McIntyre?
05:11Can you see him beating those three tomorrow night?
05:14I've got to be honest, I see Randy Orton and his background as being the major threat.
05:19Yeah, but here's the thing, Wade.
05:20Everyone has a chance, because remember, it's a fatal 4-Away.
05:23First man to gain pinfall or submission will pick up the win.
05:26So Trick Williams has a massive chance tomorrow night.
05:29And can you imagine he won't be able to live with him if Trick Williams wins tomorrow?
05:33Man, I hope he does it.
05:35I would love to see that.
05:36Huge fan of Trick and his abilities.
05:38I think the rise is inevitable.
05:41It's just a question of how long is it going to take.
05:44Is he really on that rocket ship to the very top?
05:47We find out tomorrow.
05:48Oh, what is it about Trick Williams that impresses you so much?
05:51Well, he's just got that swagger right off the bat that he believes everything he says.
05:56He also has those clear physical gifts.
05:59A hell of an athlete.
06:01And he has simply grown massively over the past three years since debuting from zero in NXT with no experience.
06:09A little bucket of tea for you right there.
06:11Oh, yeah.
06:11And Damian Priest making Williams pay it.
06:14Look at that.
06:14Nice thrust right to the face of Priest.
06:16I'll tell you right now, this is the biggest stage of Trick's career.
06:19And he is not backing down at all.
06:21He didn't turn up here to just belong.
06:23He came here to take over.
06:25I agree with you on that point.
06:27Trick Williams is ready to be at this level.
06:30There's no doubt about that.
06:33Trick, look at the power now.
06:34Suplex delivered to Priest.
06:36If there are any doubts, there's a win here.
06:37We'll put them in the shade for good.
06:42Close there for Trick Williams, who has looked in control of this match.
06:47And I wasn't expecting that.
06:48Yeah, but those are the kind of actions you just saw there that will end up costing him
06:52when he's in the ring against veterans like Damian Priest.
06:54You're right to an extent, but take that away from Trick Williams.
06:57And he's simply not the same compared to that.
06:59That's part of his mantra.
07:00Part of his...
07:01Oh, God, yes!
07:03God, that was nice!
07:04Cover by Williams.
07:06Oh, and Priest kicks out.
07:08A leaping neckbreaker like that.
07:10Just when it looked like Trick was about to lose control of the match.
07:14That is just instinctive smarts from Trick Williams.
07:18Wow, that was impressive.
07:19A little slam dunk to Damian Priest.
07:21And look who is making his way out here.
07:24Now, remember, Damian Priest warned Sammy Zayn,
07:26Stay out of my business.
07:28Sammy said, You don't talk to me like that.
07:29I'll do whatever I want.
07:30Definitely can't talk to Sammy Zayn like that in Montreal.
07:34Sammy didn't like getting shown up by Trick Williams earlier tonight
07:37when he kicked off the show either.
07:38And now Priest, as Trick Williams is a bit distracted,
07:41Priest looking to take advantage.
07:43So Zayn implied, Hey, I'll come down if he tries any of his shenanigans, right?
07:48And now Priest realizing that Sammy's out here.
07:50And he says, I told you to stay in the back.
07:51The truth is, Priest can't trust Zayn.
07:53They're fighting tomorrow night for an opportunity
07:55at the Royal Rumble against Drew McIntyre
07:58in the WWE Championship.
08:00Why would you want Sammy out here?
08:02Priest now going to walk the tightrope.
08:05And now Trick Williams!
08:06Oh, God!
08:07That was ugly.
08:08Tried to go old school.
08:10Great move by Trick, though.
08:13Driving Priest to the floor.
08:15Dropped on the crown jewels in the process.
08:17And this might be a very different Damian Priest after that landing.
08:21And gotta like the aggressiveness of Trick here.
08:23Yeah, he smells opportunity.
08:24This is that instinct that he has.
08:27Oh, wow!
08:28Could well lead him to victory tonight.
08:30Driving Damian Priest rib first into the corner of the steps.
08:34Trick in control.
08:35This is my house, man.
08:37This is my house, man.
08:40Who's going to play?
08:44He's going to play the Premier League.
08:45He's going to play in the game.
08:47He's going to play in the game.
08:48He's going to play in the game.
08:52Hey, what'd you do?
08:54Well, Sammy Zayn's presence really has changed the complexion of this matchup
08:59between Trick and Damian.
09:01again trick williams had pretty derogatory things to say to sammy zane earlier tonight
09:10called a mr street corner mr almost oh big spin kick that trick kick by williams into the cover
09:20and a kick out by priest yeah and what i'm liking seeing about trick williams here is that he's not
09:26getting over excited he knows he's in the driver's seat in this match he knows he's in control but
09:31he is slowing the pace down and making sure he doesn't commit an unforced error against a
09:37significantly more experienced opponent this is real maturity from trick here
09:42again the uh highly athletic the towering the braggadocious trick williams and i'll tell you
09:53right now another test for trick here and you hear the chance the oh lays for sammy zane who's
09:57prowling around the ringside area trick needs to block that out and not react to this montreal
10:03crowd focus on the task which is damian priest leave sammy zane on the outside they can sing
10:09all they want your job is to win this match tell you they'll be singing tomorrow night won't they
10:15sammy zane and the fatal four-way main event an opportunity to go to the rumble and face
10:20mcintyre for the championship and trick knee right to the midsection this building is gonna be a
10:27cauldron tomorrow night that's for sure we could use some heating up it is icy icy icy cold out here
10:34in montreal
10:35trick has taken his time dominating priest here slowly dismantling the street king and it takes a
10:50hell of a man to do what trick williams has done thus far to damian priest damian priest is as tough as
10:58they come here's the pace that trick likes here normally i would argue no the question for me with
11:07trick williams is is he running out of offense at this point you've thrown everything at damian priest
11:12you're in the driver's seat you're in control you haven't been able to put him away and that is
11:16sometimes with a young competitor where panic starts to kick in because you know normally i was beating
11:23guys with these moves but this guy is just a little better have i got what it takes to really put this
11:28guy away a little better he's a former world champion and trick just could not get priest up over the
11:37top gonna try it one more time priest though lands on his feet there's the power of damian priest broken
11:44arrow connected there and that could change things here cole
11:58damian priest fighting back into this everything has changed the whole complexion of this match since
12:04the arrival of that man sammy zane damian priest warned him to stay away stay out of my business but
12:10sammy zane who had words with trick williams earlier tonight is here at ringside yeah the
12:14question is what is sammy zane doing out here lurking clearly distracting both competitors in the
12:20match of course they're all squaring off tomorrow night along with randy orton at saturday night's
12:25main event look at priest we got business to take care of right now and we have got a heavyweight
12:30slugfest the brawling priest reversal now sent across the ring oh and down goes trick williams
12:40and priest face first
12:45and trick williams suddenly has his world falling apart as new questions are being asked
12:54trick has dominated 90 percent of this match but it counts for oh wow explosive once again yeah
13:01cyclone boom that spinning that heel kick from trick williams and almost put him away and that's really
13:08really impressive from trick williams but there's been a couple of times in this match where damian
13:13priest suddenly looks like he's got the momentum and he's going to run away with it and every time
13:19that's happened trick williams has found the answer
13:21and trick now with priest up on his shoulders
13:30both men exhausted at this point those are two big bodies to be dragging around the ring once you're
13:35in the deep water feeling every ounce of their weight sucking on oxygen but it's damian priest now no it's
13:42not looking for a choke slam williams missed with a kick again here comes priest
13:49bang what a right drops trick to his knee and trick
13:55well capoeira there from trick but it wasn't enough to keep the street king down
13:59oh running boot right to the face oh both men are down
14:08both men with the same idea that 360 pump kick both men connecting at the exact same time
14:17the exact same result and we might get a double count out here
14:21sammy zayn continues to lurk at ringside yeah 24 hours away from the main event of saturday night's main event
14:29trick priest sammy orton the winner of the fatal four-way match which will take place right here in
14:34the bell center we'll go to the royal rumble in riyadh a week from tomorrow to face drew mcintyre
14:40for the wwe title if you are sammy zayn you are loving this match going so deep into these wars here
14:46both getting punished oh priest got caught
14:50off the book end and a kick out by priest at two
14:56on the longer this match goes on the easier tomorrow night gets for sammy zayn this is another look at
15:02this spinning book end here from trick williams almost getting the job done
15:09you've got to think neither one of these two men is going to be 100 percent recovered
15:13by saturday night's main event tomorrow night let's go through sammy's mind here at ringside
15:17sammy's loving what he's seeing doing a little scout picking up on some perhaps injuries he can
15:22exploit tomorrow night trick williams they're going to put him away with a trick shot but damian priest
15:27able to sidestep and now priest face first goes trick williams is it enough for the win trick powers out
15:34at two both men hurting in a big way you see blood on the face of damian priest who just wants this
15:42match to be over in a hurry and start his prep for tomorrow night trick williams proving to be a tricky
15:49customer
15:59and priest bounce off the ropes and trick williams rolls out of harm's way
16:11quick mouthing off of the crowd really just trying to gee himself up in the process
16:16trying to find something else digging deep in that tank damian priest now stalking the outside oh god
16:24here we go look out here comes priest driven onto our announce table by trick williams
16:29priest got caught by trick and trick has taken over well flapjack right there onto the desk
16:35nice reactions there from trick williams now staring a hole into sammy's oh god and now priest driven into
16:41sammy zane into the barricade killed two birds with one stone and trick williams has found every answer
16:49he needs tonight and with zane down and perhaps damian priest if he can haul that massive carcass back
16:57into the ring count of eight is a beaten man count of eight by the official trick will break the count
17:02back into the ring a great ring awareness there from trick williams fully aware of exactly how much time
17:09he had he won't win this by eight counts i want to break that count and prove a point to damian priest
17:14well trick was trying to drag a priest carcass into the ring finally gets him in there there's a heavy carcass
17:21believe me 270 pounds of prime puerto rican but it's in the ring and now trick williams can end this in
17:29style on sammy zane sammy's had enough and sammy zane now this match is going to get thrown out as
17:38sammy zane goes after trick williams because of what happened here at ringside moments ago this is
17:43exactly why davian priest did not want sammy zane anywhere near this match and sammy zane has
17:51completely lost it well can you blame him after everything williams said about him earlier tonight
