FunTranscript
00:00:00Four-way matchup will go one-on-one.
00:00:02Damian Priest, Trick Williams, live on SmackDown.
00:00:30The following contest is scheduled for one poll.
00:00:38It's released in first, accompanied by Axiom.
00:00:41From the Isle of Jersey, in the English Channel, playing in at 180 pounds, one-half of Braxium, Nathan Frazier!
00:00:54Well, both of these men want to get their hands on Johnny Gargano.
00:00:58Nathan Frazier, he's got first crack, next.
00:01:12Walk in like you own the air, because confidence, that's your superpower.
00:01:19Acknowledge me.
00:01:20You don't dodge the noise, you flip it, own it, make it yours.
00:01:28Walk in like, walk out legendary.
00:01:39Frigid Montreal tonight at the Bell Center, and tomorrow night we'll be right back here.
00:01:45It is Saturday night's main event.
00:01:48Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:01:51Well, once ago on Friday night SmackDown, the lantern, actually the downfall to the Wyatt Six.
00:01:58Yeah, this is when the massive Talatonga came to ringside with that symbolic lantern.
00:02:04Uncle Howdy, wanting it back, slaps on that mandible claw, but the distraction enough for Solo Sekoa to hit that Samoan spike on the leader of the Wyatt Six.
00:02:15And then used said lantern to drill Dexter Loomis behind the referee's back.
00:02:21And one cut throat later from Tamatonga.
00:02:26And we crowned ourselves new Tag Champs here on SmackDown.
00:02:32The Tag Gold now belonging to Solo Sekoa on the MFTs.
00:02:37W-W-E-Tag!
00:02:40Wrecking on to the maximum!
00:02:42Say it out loud!
00:02:43Nathan Fraser, set to go one-on-one with Gargano tonight.
00:02:47It's a rage, and it's where we'll ever hold.
00:02:49No, we're there, bro.
00:02:50All right.
00:02:50Woo!
00:03:08I took my heart and made it go.
00:03:10I'm the soul, and I'm a black and took my gold.
00:03:13Oh, no!
00:03:14And his opponent, accompanied by Candice LeRae, from Cleveland, Ohio, playing in at 199 pounds, Johnny Gargano!
00:03:31And Candice is carrying the mask that they stole from Axiom a number of weeks ago that Axiom vows to get back one day.
00:03:39Yeah, this has been a long-running rivalry at first in the Tag Ranks, and now moving into the singles division.
00:03:46That mask of Axiom is something that is so precious to him.
00:03:51Of course, he has about 80 different ones of them, but he doesn't appreciate Johnny Gargano running around, wearing that mask, impersonating him.
00:04:00So the aim tonight is to get that mask back.
00:04:02And as this match gets underway, I want to take the opportunity to send prayers and thoughts to the family of Bobby Duncombe Sr.
00:04:09Bobby passed away earlier this week.
00:04:10One of the original badasses, a member of the Heenan family.
00:04:14Great feuds with Bruno San Martino and Bob Backlund.
00:04:17Rest in peace to Bobby Duncombe Sr.
00:04:20And Johnny wrestling into a float-over and a front face-lock now on Nathan Fraser.
00:04:27And I'll say this about Johnny Gargano.
00:04:29He is one smart cookie.
00:04:30What do you need to do against Nathan Fraser?
00:04:33You need to slow him down.
00:04:34How do you do that?
00:04:35Use your technical skills to keep him grounded.
00:04:38Do not let go.
00:04:40The second you do that, this match will become a blur.
00:04:43I mean, didn't Johnny wear Axiom's mask and attack Fraser at one point?
00:04:49Yes, he did.
00:04:50And then Fraser wore Axiom's mask and attacked Johnny when Johnny was talking to Axiom.
00:04:55And we need to pop this issue to bed.
00:04:59There's only one Axiom.
00:05:00He stood in the corner.
00:05:01And I'm reliably told the person under that mask is Chad Gable.
00:05:06What are you talking about?
00:05:07Where did that even come from?
00:05:09Oh, wait a second.
00:05:10Don't play that game with me.
00:05:12You've used that yourself several times on several mask competitors.
00:05:16Chad Gable and Monson, what are you talking about?
00:05:18He's in the mask over there.
00:05:19He's called Axiom.
00:05:20Whatever, you know.
00:05:21And there's a big elbow delivered by Gargano to Fraser.
00:05:26I mean, Axiom obviously is wearing another mask.
00:05:28I guess the one that Candice has is special.
00:05:30Well, it's special in the fact that you don't want people impersonating.
00:05:34Imagine little Michael Cole masks.
00:05:36If I had a Michael Cole mask, I would go rob a bank.
00:05:39That's what I'd do.
00:05:40And everyone would say Michael Cole is now a bank.
00:05:42Oh, God.
00:05:43Well, people wish that I'd wear a mask.
00:05:47Let's get you an Axiom one.
00:05:49You could be another Axiom.
00:05:50And Fraser, that's at a high-octane offense.
00:05:54Going to work on Johnny Gargano.
00:05:57Fraser, a former two-time NXT Tag Team Champion.
00:06:00Won the Heritage Cup there as well.
00:06:02And you know what?
00:06:03Twitter is now saying they wish Michael Cole would wear a muzzle.
00:06:07Not just a mask, a muzzle.
00:06:08We've heard enough from Michael Cole.
00:06:11I wonder who fed that into your headset.
00:06:13And here's Gargano.
00:06:14Oh, what a kick right to the face by Nathan Fraser to Gargano.
00:06:19And Fraser now headed up to the second rope.
00:06:23High-risk offense here.
00:06:25And Johnny Gargano.
00:06:26Oh, my God.
00:06:28God, that was so good.
00:06:30We thought we were getting a powerbomb.
00:06:31But no, face first.
00:06:33Onto that top buckle.
00:06:35And now following it up.
00:06:36Barging Fraser into that security barrier.
00:06:40So good from Gargano.
00:06:42Well, this match just completely changed once Nathan Fraser got wiped out by Johnny Gargano.
00:07:01Such incredible smarts from Gargano.
00:07:02And now the count is rising fast.
00:07:06On a six now from our official Ryan Tran.
00:07:10And quickly back into the ring now.
00:07:12Fraser.
00:07:13And Gargano, Johnny Wrestling, takes control.
00:07:18This just has been methodical from the start from Gargano.
00:07:23Who is an absolute master manipulator in that ring.
00:07:27And indeed behind the scenes.
00:07:30And he has devastated Nathan Fraser.
00:07:32Taking all of Fraser's strengths away from him.
00:07:36And is now in complete control of this match.
00:07:38Too easy for Gargano.
00:07:39And that's what Gargano, this technician, is all about.
00:07:43Johnny, a former NXT champ.
00:07:46Of course, two-time tag team champion here.
00:07:48Up the hair.
00:07:49Let's go.
00:07:49One.
00:07:52Former NXT triple crown champion.
00:07:55Of course, we've mainly seen him in tag ranks here since he arrived on SmackDown.
00:08:00But let's not forget.
00:08:02Oh, and a kick out.
00:08:03Once upon a time, this man completely dominated the notorious black and gold era of NXT.
00:08:10That's how good this man is in singles competition.
00:08:14And Nathan Fraser's getting a taste of that right now.
00:08:16And Gargano now just controlling Fraser.
00:08:24This has been great strategy by Johnny Gargano.
00:08:26I mean, he's absolutely brilliant.
00:08:28He is a scientific exponent of this form of competition.
00:08:33And Nathan Fraser from the start has struggled to keep pace with the mental powers of Johnny Gargano.
00:08:41Johnny Sims, Fraser face first into the top turnbuckle.
00:08:46Oh, Johnny, what a kick.
00:08:48Cover now by Gargano.
00:08:50Fraser's got a kick at two.
00:08:52I mean, so many people get goaded into trying to match pace with Nathan Fraser.
00:08:57Johnny Gargano's been around the block one time too many to fall for that nonsense.
00:09:01And Johnny Gargano mocking the WWE fans.
00:09:08His wife, Candice LeRae, on the outside with that Axiom mask.
00:09:13Looking on incredibly proudly as her man is doing the business tonight.
00:09:17Look at mocking Fraser, just waving Axiom's mask in his face.
00:09:26Oh, hold on.
00:09:27Oh, now, Candice getting involved.
00:09:35Keeping that Axiom mask close in hand, but the damage compounded on the throat of Nathan Fraser there.
00:09:41And frustration starting to bubble up with Axiom on the outside.
00:09:44Candice LeRae does not care, though.
00:09:47She's got what she wants in that mask.
00:09:50She's talking to herself.
00:09:55She's actually left the mask on the floor.
00:09:58I feel like I could reach it and put it on you now, Michael Cole.
00:10:01Give the people what they want.
00:10:03Oh, and Nathan Fraser looking to rally with a step up in Zegari to Gargano.
00:10:15Fraser now springboard.
00:10:16Oh, caught Gargano.
00:10:19And this was always the danger for Gargano, who's controlled the pace of this match until he's not.
00:10:26And now Nathan Fraser briefly picked up the pace there.
00:10:31Can he get the wind back in his sails and really get a grip on this thing?
00:10:38Yeah, you feel the momentum shifting a bit here in this matchup.
00:10:41Here comes Fraser with the right hand to Gargano.
00:10:43He's got Johnny reeling as he sends him into the corner.
00:10:46Once again, it's the movement of Fraser now coming to the floor.
00:10:51And a springboard off the top rope, and Johnny Gargano goes down again.
00:10:55This is the one thing Gargano could not allow to happen.
00:11:01Oh, God.
00:11:03Look at this offense.
00:11:06Running sling braid there, completely dropping Gargano.
00:11:10And when Fraser goes skyward, it's usually curtains.
00:11:16Frog splash.
00:11:18Come on, on Gargano.
00:11:20And a kick out by Johnny wrestling at two.
00:11:23Yeah, this one turned on a dime.
00:11:26As soon as Fraser got that wind in his sails,
00:11:29just Johnny Gargano simply could not live with it.
00:11:33Take another look at this frog splash with some real distance on there.
00:11:38Connecting flush on the sternum of Johnny Gargano,
00:11:42who is now in a bad, bad way.
00:11:44And panic is saying for Candice LeRae on the outside.
00:11:49Fraser up over the top, and down goes Johnny.
00:11:53Yeah, it's all Fraser now.
00:11:55And he has a joy to watch when he gets going.
00:11:58Gargano struggling to cling on here, and now in the drop zone.
00:12:04Fraser top rope.
00:12:05And we've seen this before.
00:12:08Oh!
00:12:09Went for the Phoenix splash.
00:12:10Gargano moved out of harm's way.
00:12:12Caught him with a kick.
00:12:15Fraser with a running knee.
00:12:19Gargano another kick.
00:12:20There's a kick by Fraser.
00:12:21Both men now just swinging full defenses.
00:12:25Desperation time for both competitors.
00:12:28That's the finish line inside.
00:12:29Oh!
00:12:29That springboard didn't pay off.
00:12:34And Johnny.
00:12:36Oh!
00:12:36Down goes Nathan Fraser.
00:12:40Kick out at two.
00:12:42Off that driver by Gargano.
00:12:44Fraser just able to kick out.
00:12:46And neck first.
00:12:47Right down with a modified fisherman's driver.
00:12:52Almost enough to get the three count.
00:12:54Well, where does Johnny Gargano go from here?
00:12:57Because Nathan Fraser is down and almost motionless.
00:13:02Now it's Johnny's turn to go high risk as he looks to head up to the top rope.
00:13:07And this is not traditionally somewhere where Gargano thrives.
00:13:13He's a scientific technician.
00:13:15Superplex.
00:13:16Fraser floats through.
00:13:18Oh!
00:13:19There's that neck breaker.
00:13:20Cover by Fraser.
00:13:21For the win.
00:13:22Oh!
00:13:23And a kick out.
00:13:25You see the influence of Fraser's former mentor, Seth freaking Rollins, with that combo right there.
00:13:32Trained with Rollins years ago, prior to his time in NXT.
00:13:36Retained a lot of that information.
00:13:38Uses it to this day.
00:13:41And now once again, perhaps another move out of Seth Rollins' playbook.
00:13:45That Phoenix splash that did not connect the first time.
00:13:48Well, Johnny is in the drop zone.
00:13:50And Fraser knows it now.
00:13:55Nathan Fraser top rope again.
00:13:56Now Candice LeRae up on the apron.
00:13:59Got to sense danger.
00:14:01Far's into distraction.
00:14:02And again, it allows Johnny to move out of the way.
00:14:05As Fraser misses with a Phoenix splash.
00:14:08That really was pivotal.
00:14:11Hey, hey.
00:14:11Oh, wait a second.
00:14:12Actually, he's got his mask back.
00:14:14I was told to look after that.
00:14:16Oh, no.
00:14:16Look at this.
00:14:17Put it on backwards.
00:14:18And now Johnny upset.
00:14:23Oh, from behind.
00:14:27Fraser with a win.
00:14:28Candice inadvertently striking her husband.
00:14:31Here is your winner.
00:14:34Nathan Fraser.
00:14:36It is a complete disaster for Gargano and LeRae.
00:14:43LeRae blasting her own hubby in the jaw.
00:14:46After that damn mask was put on backwards by Axiom.
00:14:50Axiom's got the mask back.
00:14:52That's what he wanted.
00:14:53Finally, after a long...
00:14:59Oh, hold on.
00:15:01Somebody stop that thief.
00:15:03Finally gets the mask back.
00:15:05Holds it for 10 seconds.
00:15:07And now LeRae has it back in her possession.
00:15:10And has absconded with it once again.
00:15:13Tomlin, not sold.
00:15:15Lash legend Nia Jax, thank you so much for agreeing to this interview.
00:15:22What do you want?
00:15:23What do you want?
00:15:24Tonight, you step in the ring against two of...
00:15:26We've already proven week after week after week
00:15:29that we're the most dominant, destructive duo in all of WWE.
00:15:33So do we really need to say what we think is going to happen?
00:15:35Because it's quite obvious.
00:15:37But in case you don't get it, Kathy,
00:15:40I'll explain it to you and everybody else backstage
00:15:42that tonight Lash and I will become the number one contenders
00:15:45for the Women's Tag Team Championship.
00:15:47Then we're going to go on to the Royal Rumble
00:15:49and eliminate everybody one by one as a team.
00:15:53You know why?
00:15:54Because we're not fake like Charlotte and Alexa
00:15:56who will most likely stab each other in the back.
00:15:58Because we actually are cohesive.
00:16:00So we're going to work together and eliminate all the competitors
00:16:03until one of us is all the way to WrestleMania.
00:16:08Thank you so much for that.
00:16:10And not just later tonight, but coming up next,
00:16:13the undisputed WWE champion is here.
00:16:18Drew McIntyre live on SmackDown.
00:16:21You and me, rematch Royal Rumble.
00:16:29I want you to put your career on the line.
00:16:34This will be unforgettable.
00:16:36With a historic career in jeopardy,
00:16:38AJ Styles speaks out.
00:16:40While an exclusive interview with the ring general,
00:16:43Gunther, shakes Raw.
00:16:44You just don't know when to shut up, do you?
00:16:46Guess I don't.
00:16:47You can lay down all the plans you want
00:16:52for somebody coming in
00:16:53and to hopefully get them over.
00:16:56There's never a guarantee.
00:17:03I feel this energy and support for my fans,
00:17:08for my family.
00:17:08My debut in WWE was like dreaming.
00:17:14When it works like it did with Penta.
00:17:18Penta, driver!
00:17:20Well, that puts a smile on your face.
00:17:22One, two, three!
00:17:25Welcome to the big time, Penta!
00:17:28Here is your winner, Penta!
00:17:32My daughter, she cried because she feel proud about me.
00:17:40She feel emotion in the moment.
00:17:42It is an absolute privilege to have Penta grace our ring here
00:17:47in WWE.
00:17:51Now is the Penta New Era!
00:17:57WWE Unreal gave audiences an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at WWE.
00:18:16Now season two is back on Netflix featuring Seth Rollins,
00:18:21Becky Lynch, Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and many more.
00:18:24WWE Unreal season two is out now.
00:18:27And only on Netflix.
00:18:57Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the...
00:18:59The undisputed...
00:19:03Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the undisputed WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre!
00:19:33Drew McIntyre will defend the WWE Championship a week from tomorrow in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the Royal Rumble event.
00:19:48Who will he defend against? Well, we find out tomorrow night, Saturday night's main event in a fatal four-way matchup.
00:19:56And McIntyre, of course, surviving three stages of hell against Cody Rhodes to finally win the championship.
00:20:09He's the last king of Scotland and he is the current king of the entirety of professional wrestling.
00:20:18That prize in his left hand, the biggest prize in our entire sport.
00:20:25And McIntyre has no intent of letting that slip through his fingers at the Royal Rumble no matter who he faces.
00:20:39He loves being champion, doesn't he?
00:21:07Well, wouldn't you? That's the entire point of this, Cole, to get to the very top.
00:21:13And McIntyre's done it. Give him some respect.
00:21:45Bonjour, Montreal.
00:21:52Now that I've exhausted my French, let's get down to business.
00:21:59I know it's been a long, tough time for you all.
00:22:02It's been over 30 years since your Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup.
00:22:08Let me finish.
00:22:11Let me finish.
00:22:12It's been over 30 years since he won the Stanley Cup.
00:22:16But now you finally have a champion you can be proud of in Drew McIntyre.
00:22:28Did you all see that little Jacob Cody therapy session earlier?
00:22:33Absolutely pathetic.
00:22:35I see, Jacob, you're still slandering my name, saying I kicked your teeth down your throat.
00:22:39I didn't.
00:22:41Get it through your thick skull.
00:22:43If I did it, I'd be bragging about it.
00:22:45And rule number one, Drew McIntyre never lies.
00:22:51I just can't wait to see you both tear each other limb from limb.
00:22:56And Cody, if you survive that animal, remember, there will be no rematch.
00:23:02You go to the back of the line, you gotta beat 29 other men in the Royal Rumble, and I'm sure you can win the Royal Rumble for the third time, so yeah, good luck with that.
00:23:13Let's talk about what's important, me, the WWE Championship, my next number one contender, the four-way match tomorrow.
00:23:26Now who we got, we got Trick Williams, the rookie.
00:23:36Go get him, kid.
00:23:38We got Damien Priest, the one-hit wonder I wasted a year of my life with that guy.
00:23:46Priest, if I see you at the Rumble, I will end your career.
00:23:50We got Randy Orton.
00:23:57Not the Randy Orton, not the Viper, the same guy that traded this title with me back and forth.
00:24:05No, no, he's now civilized.
00:24:09Randall Keith Orton that can't get the job done when it counts.
00:24:13And last, you can chant RKO all you want.
00:24:28It doesn't mean what I'm saying is not true, because it is.
00:24:31Last but certainly least, Canada's own Sami Zayn.
00:24:35Sami, I know you've got a whole country behind you.
00:24:58Listen to them, Sami.
00:25:00You've got a whole country behind you.
00:25:03And, man, I can still be louder.
00:25:20I got the microphone.
00:25:24Sami, I know you can hear me.
00:25:25You're watching right now.
00:25:28You're always so concerned about winning the big one.
00:25:31And you're always so concerned about disappointing your little son.
00:25:42It's okay, Sami.
00:25:43I want you to know your son's been disappointed for a long time.
00:25:49In fact, he's been disappointed from the first moment he opened his eyes
00:25:57and realized that Sami Zayn was his father.
00:26:06I don't care who wins the four-way.
00:26:08Because I will do whatever, and I mean whatever, it takes to keep this WWE Championship.
00:26:16The message is simple.
00:26:18Whoever faces Drew McIntyre at the Royal Rumble, good luck.
00:26:24Because you're going to need it.
00:26:25We'll find out tomorrow night at Saturday night's main event who will get the opportunity
00:26:35to battle McIntyre for the WWE Championship a week from tomorrow at the Rumble.
00:26:41We know who this audience wants to win tomorrow night at Saturday night's main event,
00:26:46but it appears McIntyre does not care.
00:26:49Bring them all.
00:26:56Tell me I'm lying.
00:26:58Tell me I'm lying.
00:26:59I'll call you a freaking liar.
00:27:03And look, man, I already know why you're here.
00:27:06You wanted to say thank you because I made you famous a couple weeks ago when I beat you down, right?
00:27:10No problem, dawg.
00:27:12I do charity work all the time.
00:27:14No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:27:17I came to tell you I haven't forget about this tune you pulled when we went one-on-one.
00:27:23Oh, I see.
00:27:24You got a good memory, huh?
00:27:26Well, let me break it down for you.
00:27:28Because after I beat down Damien Priest tonight,
00:27:31and I win this fatal four-way tomorrow,
00:27:33I will become the undisputed WWE Champion.
00:27:37Then, only then, you can get your first title shot.
00:27:41Well, well, that's it.
00:27:43I remember your name.
00:27:46Let's talk about it.
00:27:50You will remember me.
00:27:54Well, wait, Trick Williams thinks very highly of himself,
00:27:58but I want to take you back to last week on Friday Night Smackdown
00:28:00after Trick Williams had qualified for tomorrow night's match
00:28:04at Saturday night's main event with a win over Matt Cardona.
00:28:07So, this was Trick after his victory.
00:28:12Now, post-match,
00:28:15Kit Wilson strutted down to the ring,
00:28:18and my old boy, can that man strut.
00:28:20But before he got in the ring,
00:28:22he decided he was going to drop Matt Cardona.
00:28:25Toxic, toxic, toxic, toxic.
00:28:29Let me say it.
00:28:30I am the tonic to the toxic masculinity.
00:28:35Samoan Werewolf was in no mood to hear any of Kit's ranting,
00:28:39dropping Wilson with the moonsault,
00:28:42as toxic masculinity reigns supreme in London.
00:28:47Kit Wilson, as we just saw last week,
00:28:50you paused your entrance specifically to attack Matt Cardona.
00:28:55What about him is so triggering to you?
00:28:57Well, Kathy, someone's got to be the hero around here.
00:29:00Somebody has to clean up the toxic masculinity
00:29:03in this rotting locker room.
00:29:06And men, like Fatou,
00:29:08men like Matt Cardona,
00:29:09they walk around never questioning themselves.
00:29:12They never even wonder.
00:29:14Oh, I've got to hear this.
00:29:17What is your problem with me?
00:29:20Well, I'll tell you my problem, Matt.
00:29:23It's this perfectly manicured beard.
00:29:26What?
00:29:27That 10-10 chiseled jaw.
00:29:29These big, big, beefy shoulders.
00:29:32Thanks, I guess.
00:29:33It sounds like you're complimenting me.
00:29:35And you would think that.
00:29:37You would.
00:29:38But wake up, Matt!
00:29:40This is the problem.
00:29:42Men like you don't have accountability.
00:29:45Men like you expect the world to bend around them.
00:29:48And men like you have toxic masculinity.
00:29:52All right, bro, I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:29:55The next time you want to step up,
00:29:57let's do it in the ring, okay?
00:30:01Typical.
00:30:02Accountability comes his way,
00:30:03and he chooses violence.
00:30:08Men, am I right?
00:30:09Toxic.
00:30:12Men are the worst, aren't they, Michael Cole?
00:30:15But you've got a lot of toxic traits yourself, actually.
00:30:18What are you?
00:30:20When was the last time you waxed your chest?
00:30:22No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:30:23Wait!
00:30:24Nonetheless, we get set to this...
00:30:26Toxic!
00:30:34That Kit Wilson's a strange cat.
00:30:36No, no, no, no.
00:30:38Again, more toxicity.
00:30:39Man, you have to stay.
00:30:40I think the main thing is...
00:30:41I think the main thing is...
00:30:45I think the main thing is...
00:30:45...you have to go.
00:30:45I think the main thing...

00:33:56take you back to last week guys it's flair and bliss taking on julia and kiana james bliss picking up the
00:34:02win for her team with a fantastic performance with them post-match it was nia jack and lash legend who
00:34:12arrived and attacked everybody bodies dropping in their wake as temperatures continue to rise
00:34:21in a red hot women's tag division both on smackdown and on raw and julia not backing down either getting
00:34:29right in the faces of lash and nia jack's that pitbull mentality of the united states champion really some
00:34:35real feet in the ring right now and you have to say that it was we mentioned earlier the former tag
00:34:41champs alexa bliss and charlotte flair who were really cost those titles by an assault outside of
00:34:48the ring by lash legend and nia jack subsequently losing them to at the time the kabuki warriors
00:34:55just shows you how hot that division is those championships are getting bounced around right now
00:35:00it seems like every woman on raw and smackdown wants to form a tag team and wants to get themselves
00:35:06an opportunity for the gold triple threat match triple threat rules as well first team to gain
00:35:14pinfall or submission will win this matchup a hot start here and charlotte and alexa trying to
00:35:19establish dominance early multiple women ganging up on the powerhouse nia jacks that's what you have
00:35:25to do loose alliances take down the big powerful duo of flash legend and nia jacks and then battle it out
00:35:32amongst yourselves yeah three women in the ring at the same time again first team to gain pitbull or
00:35:36submission will win and become the number one contender and there's that running uppercut by lash
00:35:41legend and kiana james powerful in her own right yeah i've enjoyed what i've seen from kiana james so far
00:35:47we haven't seen enough from her that's going to change tonight though great a major coming out party
00:35:53for kiana james and charlotte flair now turns it into a clothesline charlotte the 14-time world champion
00:36:02the woman who has an unquenchable thirst for continuing to add to a massive resume nicely
00:36:09outsmarting lash legend there an attack now to alexa bliss let's go to show how important experience is
00:36:17at this level and they don't come more experienced than charlotte flair or indeed alexa bliss alexa
00:36:23from the top rope oh take it out everybody a melee here on friday night smackdown who's going
00:36:31to be the number one contenders
00:36:38nia jack charlotte flair julia in the ring now one of these teams is going to become the number one
00:36:43contenders for the tag team titles tag made here comes lash legend julia almost directing traffic
00:36:51there as these two look to do a number on charlotte flair charlotte flair simply had enough at this point
00:36:58you ain't bullying me charlotte fighting back sends julia out to the apron player with a kick will not
00:37:03julia to the floor julia hit the floor hard and our table two for good measure oh big swing connecting
00:37:12to the jaw of charlotte flair a lot of power behind that from lash legend oh that was like a clothesline
00:37:18right to the jaw lash so intimidating
00:37:22as powerful as they come just a mountainous woman and you've got to move quick when you're against
00:37:31someone like that and indeed someone like nia jackson nia jackson done very little wrong there
00:37:37but she was in the real estate that charlotte flair wanted to use namely that turnbuckle crossbody
00:37:41lateral press down house charlotte changes things up into a pinning combination and julia little riva
00:37:47dirt chase she catches charlotte flair to break things up just about in the nick of time nice movement
00:37:52there from the japanese superstar now going to town on her two opponents and we haven't seen too much
00:37:57of alexa bliss in this one but i will say charlotte flair has taken one hell of a beating
00:38:03and maybe right for the pickings here how physical is julia been in this match she's gonna have to be
00:38:08when you think who she's in there with especially someone the size of lash legend and the experience
00:38:13of charlotte flair but don't overexert yourself there's the tag to kiana james and kiana up over the
00:38:19top and runs into a chop by charlotte
00:38:27oh goodness well woo party i'm trying to make a tag and lash legend intercepting charlotte flair
00:38:34and think about the power here yeah lash legend needed it the last thing you want is a fresh
00:38:39alexa bliss getting into this thing mega brain kiana james knows that too not a surprise she takes
00:38:46down flair and charlotte able to block
00:38:56lash talking trash she's gonna get involved that was all how it's done lash that is exactly how it's done
00:39:03one two three turns it into a ddt great move by flair it was a desperation move but it worked
00:39:14out perfectly planting both opponents on the top of their cranium and now dragging her beat oh god just
00:39:22as she launched for the tag how smart was that from julia dragging bliss off the apron and then driving
00:39:29her into the barricade and now kiana james looks to capitalize kick the charlotte naya jacks with a
00:39:35clothesline oh things just got even worse now for charlotte flair and kiana james they're about to get
00:39:42squashed naya two-time tag champ in her own right with charlotte up on her shoulders naya jacks was
00:39:50woman of the year in 2024 2025 was a down year by her massive standards although things might be about to
00:39:57change what's kiana gonna try to do here uh-uh this ain't smart kiana kiana kiana james drops
00:40:03charlotte naya to the mat cover by james for the win charlotte just gets the shoulder up oh god that
00:40:10was freakish strength from kiana james who is now showing layers i wasn't aware she had smartly using
00:40:19leverage of those ropes for that massive power bomb on two women there i'm nothing but impressed with
00:40:25kiana james's performance so far wait i said it earlier kiana james may be the most underrated
00:40:31woman on the roster today oh there's no doubt about it but that this is a major coming out party and
00:40:36no one's ever going to make that mistake again and now going right at it with charlotte flair
00:40:43getting right in charlotte's face gotta like the aggressiveness just treating charlotte flair like
00:40:48dirt nobody does that and now naya jack just pulling over pounds to the corner julia's in i'm
00:40:56not sure if jacks is aware of it i'm not sure if jacks is aware of anything after that shot to the
00:41:01head oh god tag made to bliss here comes alexa alexa the former five-time world champion taking it to
00:41:07the united states champion here and the pace just picked up with bliss in the match well this is the
00:41:15freshest woman out of all six and she's now taking down a bunch of beat up women who perhaps are low
00:41:23on energy oh oh no this i was gonna say that doesn't bode well for alexa bliss on the shoulders
00:41:28of naya jacks able to turn it into a ddt though naya into the cover is it enough and a kick out
00:41:36by naya jacks alexa into the cover is naya kicked out right now julia up to the top rope
00:41:45missile drop kick to naya well alexa bliss saw that coming a mile off and of course moved
00:41:51out of the way cole here we go looking for sister abigail but oh last legend with a big boot cover now
00:41:59on bliss julia breaks things up a legendary pump kick right to the mouth of alexa bliss just as she
00:42:06was about to hit that sister abigail ddt this one's breaking down in a major way now big headbutt there
00:42:13pop-up headbutt to julia tag here comes kiana james into the matchup and there it is the 401k
00:42:22by kiana james but legend catches her with a right and now alexa bliss looking for a tornado ddt but
00:42:31legend gonna muscle bliss up into position here
00:42:40the last extension oh god right to the face of alexa bliss oh god spear by charlotte kiana james into
00:42:49the cover what a strategic maneuver by james for the win here are your winners the team of the
00:42:59women's united states champion julia and kiana james great in-ring iq by kiana james yeah that was
00:43:10fantastic capitalizing on someone else's work that lash extension drilling alexa bliss you have to be an
00:43:18opportunist once you spot the opening you have to pounce and how small was that from kiana james who
00:43:26has blown us away at ringside tonight now the number one contenders for the tag titles they'll
00:43:32take on either ria and io or live and roxanne the winners of the matchup tomorrow night

00:48:47oh wait let me put it in a way that even you can understand
00:48:53U.S. title is here.
00:48:55If we win the Royal Rumble and win the Royal Rumble,
00:49:00we'll be the Triple Champion, right?
00:49:03Let me put it in a way that even you can understand.
00:49:06Julia is already the United States Women's Champion.
00:49:08Soon, we'll be Tag Team Champions.
00:49:10And Julia will be on her way to win the Royal Rumble
00:49:13and become a Triple Champion.
00:49:16Our plan is clear.
00:49:17It's just the beginning.
00:49:19So you gotcha.
00:49:23Well, Triple Champion.
00:49:25Let's head back out to the action.
00:49:28Sounds good to me, I guess.
00:49:49The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:49:55Introducing first, from New York City,
00:49:59playing in at 249 pounds,
00:50:03Damien Priest.
00:50:04Damien Priest claims Trick Williams is afraid of him.
00:50:06We're going to find out if he's going to win the Royal Rumble.
00:50:08The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:50:10Introducing first, from New York City,
00:50:13playing in at 249 pounds,
00:50:16Damien Priest.
00:50:18Damien Priest claims Trick Williams is afraid of him.
00:50:31We're going to find out if that is the case.
00:50:35Trick Williams has dominated in NXT,
00:50:40but it is a different level here.
00:50:42And we're seeing, currently,
00:50:44just how far Trick Williams is capable of stepping up at the very top.
00:50:49This time, one-on-one with a former world champ for Damien Priest.
00:50:54They're going to be quite the 24 hours for Trick Williams.
00:51:00Two of the four men who compete in tomorrow night's Fatal 4-Way
00:51:04do battle in our main event.
00:51:06Damien Priest, Trick Williams, live next.
00:51:10Leave!
00:51:19No!
00:51:32From the ruler to the publisher, Damian Priest set for our main event.
00:52:02All rise for the outlaw.
00:52:32And his opponent, from Columbia, South Carolina, lagging at 240 pounds, Trick Williams!
00:52:45Trick had a lot to say earlier tonight, kicking off Friday Night Smackdown in the face of Montreal's own Sami Zayn.
00:52:54Sami Zayn's had way too many chances, and it is now Trick Williams' time.
00:52:59Damian Priestway claims that Trick Williams is afraid of him.
00:53:03Well, it would be hugely understandable if Trick Williams was indeed intimidated by the massive presence and background of Damian Priest.
00:53:14But I personally don't believe that to be the case.
00:53:17I have never, in my time in NXT, Raw, or SmackDown, met a superstar brimming with as much confidence as Trick Williams.
00:53:28Well, Priest extremely confident as well, coming off that win in the physical, the brutal, the amazing ambulance match against Aleister Black a few weeks back.
00:53:39Here's what I'm fascinated about tonight, Cole.
00:53:41We are still trying to figure out where in the layer cake Trick Williams, at this point in his career, really sits here on SmackDown.
00:53:50And he's been brilliant so far, every time we've seen him compete.
00:53:53But now, what a test this is.
00:53:55Not just physically against a huge opponent like Priest, but also someone with the credentials of being a former world champ.
00:54:02So, let's see if you can really live with this, Trick.
00:54:05Well, you're not going to push Damian Priest around, but for Trick Williams, it has been a meteoric rise here in the few weeks that he's been on Friday night's SmackDown.
00:54:13He qualified for tomorrow night's Fatal 4-Away with a win over Matt Cardona last week.
00:54:19Think about the many's in the ring with tomorrow night.
00:54:21The 14-time world champion Randy Orton.
00:54:24The great Sami Zayn.
00:54:26Of course, the former world champion Damian Priest.
00:54:28And Trick Williams plans to go toe-to-toe with those three men.
00:54:30Roll up by Priest.
00:54:31Kick out.
00:54:32Yeah, Trick is that X-Factor tomorrow.
00:54:34He is probably the outsider just based on experience.
00:54:38Can you see him going to the Royal Rumble and squaring off against Drew McIntyre?
00:54:42Can you see him beating those three tomorrow night?
00:54:46I've got to be honest.
00:54:47I see Randy Orton in his background as being the major threat.
00:54:50Yeah, but here's the thing, Wade.
00:54:52Everyone has a chance.
00:54:53Because remember, it's a Fatal 4-Away.
00:54:55First man to gain pinfall or submission will pick up the win.
00:54:58So, Trick Williams has a massive chance tomorrow night.
00:55:01And can you imagine he won't be able to live with them if Trick Williams wins tomorrow?
00:55:05Man, I hope he does it.
00:55:07I would love to see that.
00:55:08Huge fan of Trick and his abilities.
00:55:10I think the rise is inevitable.
00:55:13It's just a question of how long is it going to take?
00:55:16Is he really on that rocket ship to the very top?
00:55:19We find out tomorrow.
00:55:19Oh, what is it about Trick Williams that impresses you so much?
00:55:23Well, he's just got that swagger right off the bat that he believes everything he says.
00:55:28He also has those clear physical gifts.
00:55:31He's a hell of an athlete.
00:55:32And he has simply grown massively over the past three years since debuting from zero in NXT with no experience.
00:55:41A little bucket for you right there.
00:55:42Oh, yeah.
00:55:43And Damian Priest making Williams pay.
00:55:45And look at that.
00:55:46Nice thrust right to the face of Priest.
00:55:48I'll tell you right now, this is the biggest stage of Trick's career.
00:55:51And he is not backing down at all.
00:55:53He didn't turn up here to just belong.
00:55:55He came here to take over.
00:55:57I agree with you on that point.
00:55:59Trick Williams is ready to be at this level.
00:56:02There's no doubt about that.
00:56:04Trick, look at the power now.
00:56:06Suplex delivered to Priest.
00:56:07If there are any doubts, there's a win here.
00:56:09We'll put them in the shade for good.
00:56:14Close there for Trick Williams, who has looked in control of this match.
00:56:18And I wasn't expecting that.
00:56:20Yeah, but those are the kind of actions you just saw there that will end up costing him
00:56:24when he's in the ring against veterans like Damian Priest.
00:56:26You're right to an extent, but take that away from Trick Williams.
00:56:29And he's simply not the same compared to that.
00:56:31That's part of his mantra, part of his...
00:56:32Oh, God, yes.
00:56:34God, that was nice.
00:56:36Cover by Williams.
00:56:38Oh, and Priest kicks out.
00:56:40A leaping neckbreaker like that.
00:56:42Just when it looked like Trick was about to lose control of the match.
00:56:46That is just instinctive smarts from Trick Williams.
00:56:50Wow, that was impressive.
00:56:51A little slam dunk to Damian Priest.
00:56:53And look who is making his way out here.
00:56:55Now, remember, Damian Priest warned Sammy Zayn, stay out of my business.
00:57:00Sammy said, you don't talk to me like that.
00:57:01I'll do whatever I want.
00:57:02You can't talk to Sammy Zayn like that in Montreal.
00:57:05Sammy didn't like getting shown up by Trick Williams earlier tonight when he kicked off the show either.
00:57:10And now Priest, as Trick Williams was a bit distracted, Priest looking to take advantage.
00:57:15So Zayn implied, hey, I'll come down if he tries any of these shenanigans, right?
00:57:19And now Priest realizing that Sammy's out here.
00:57:21And he says, I told you to stay in the back.
00:57:23The truth is, Priest can't trust Zayn.
00:57:25They're fighting tomorrow night for an opportunity at the Royal Rumble against Drew McIntyre in the WWE Championship.
00:57:31Why would you want Sammy out here?
00:57:34Priest now going to walk to tightrope.
00:57:36And now Trick Williams.
00:57:37That was ugly.
00:57:40Tried to go old school.
00:57:43Great move by Trick, though.
00:57:45Driving Priest to the floor.
00:57:46Dropped on the crown jewels in the process.
00:57:49And this might be a very different Damian Priest after that landing.
00:57:52And gotta like the aggressiveness of Trick here.
00:57:55Yeah, he smells opportunity.
00:57:56This is that instinct that he has.
00:57:58Could well lead him to victory tonight.
00:58:02Driving Damian Priest rib first into the corner of the steps.
00:58:05Trick and control.
00:58:06This is my house, man.
00:58:08This is my house, man.
00:58:26Sammy Zayn's presence really has changed the complexion of this matchup between Trick and Damian.
00:58:32Again, Trick Williams had pretty derogatory things to say to Sammy Zayn earlier tonight.
00:58:42Called him Mr. Street Corner.
00:58:44Mr. Almost.
00:58:47Oh!
00:58:48Big spin kick.
00:58:49That trick kick by Williams into the cover.
00:58:52And a kick out by Priest.
00:58:53Yeah, and what I'm liking seeing about Trick Williams here is that he's not getting overexcited.
00:58:59He knows he's in the driver's seat in this match.
00:59:01He knows he's in control.
00:59:03But he is slowing the pace down and making sure he doesn't commit an unforced error against a significantly more experienced opponent.
00:59:10There's just real maturity from Trick here.
00:59:17Again, the highly athletic, the towering, the braggadocious Trick Williams.
00:59:23And I'll tell you right now, another test for Trick here.
00:59:27And you hear the chants, the olays for Sammy Zayn, who's prowling around the ringside area.
00:59:31Trick needs to block that out and not react to this Montreal crowd.
00:59:35Focus on the task, which is Damian Priest.
00:59:38Leave Sammy Zayn on the outside.
00:59:40They can sing all they want.
00:59:41Your job is to win this match.
00:59:43Tell you, we'll be singing tomorrow night, won't they?
00:59:47Sammy Zayn and the Fatal 4-Way main event.
00:59:50An opportunity to go to the Rumble and face McIntyre for the championship.
00:59:54And Trick may rape to the midsection.
00:59:56This building is going to be a cauldron tomorrow night, that's for sure.
01:00:01We could use some heating up.
01:00:03It is icy, icy, icy cold out here in Montreal.
01:00:07Trick has taken his time, dominating Priest here.
01:00:16Slowly dismantling the Street King.
01:00:20And it takes a hell of a man to do what Trick Williams has done thus far to Damian Priest.
01:00:28Damian Priest is as tough as they come.
01:00:32Who's the pace that Trick likes here?
01:00:34Normally, I would argue no.
01:00:37The question for me with Trick Williams is, is he running out of offense at this point?
01:00:42You've thrown everything at Damian Priest.
01:00:44You're in the driver's seat.
01:00:45You're in control.
01:00:46You haven't been able to put him away.
01:00:48And that is sometimes with a young competitor where panic starts to kick in.
01:00:53Because, you know, normally I was beating guys with these moves.
01:00:56But this guy is just a little better.
01:00:58Have I got what it takes to really put this guy away?
01:01:01A little better.
01:01:01He's a former world champion.
01:01:03Damian, and Trick just could not get Priest up over the top.
01:01:09Going to try it one more time.
01:01:12Priest, though, lands on his feet.
01:01:13There's the power of Damian Priest.
01:01:15Broken arrow connected there.
01:01:18And that could change things here, Cole.
01:01:20Damian Priest fighting back into this.
01:01:33Everything has changed.
01:01:35The whole complexion of this match since the arrival of that man, Sami Zayn.
01:01:39Damian Priest warned him to stay away.
01:01:40Stay out of my business.
01:01:41But Sami Zayn, who had words with Trick Williams earlier tonight, is here at ringside.
01:01:45Yeah, the question is, what is Sami Zayn doing out here lurking?
01:01:49Clearly distracting both competitors in the match.
01:01:52Of course, they're all squaring off tomorrow night.
01:01:55Along with Randy Orton at Saturday Night's Main Event.
01:01:57Look at Priest.
01:01:58We've got business to take care of right now.
01:02:00And we have got a heavyweight slugfest.
01:02:02The brawling Priest reversal now.
01:02:07Sent across the ring.
01:02:08Oh, and down goes Trick Williams.
01:02:12And Priest face first.
01:02:16And Trick Williams suddenly has his world falling apart as new questions are being asked.
01:02:25Trick has dominated 90% of this match, but it counts for no.
01:02:29Oh, nice.
01:02:30Wow.
01:02:31Explosive once again.
01:02:32Yeah, that cyclone.
01:02:33Boom.
01:02:34That spinning.
01:02:35That heel kick from Trick Williams and almost put him away.
01:02:39And that's really, really impressive from Trick Williams.
01:02:42There's been a couple of times in this match where Damian Priest suddenly looks like he's got the momentum
01:02:48and he's going to run away with it.
01:02:49And every time that's happened, Trick Williams has found the answer.
01:02:55And Trick now with Priest up on his shoulders.
01:02:58Both men exhausted at this point.
01:03:04Those are two big bodies to be dragging around the ring once you're in the deep water.
01:03:09Feeling every ounce of their weight sucking on oxygen.
01:03:12But it's Damian Priest now.
01:03:14No, it's not.
01:03:15Looking for a choke slam.
01:03:17Williams missed with a kick again.
01:03:18Here comes Priest.
01:03:21Bang.
01:03:21What a right.
01:03:22Drops Trick to his knee.
01:03:24And Trick.
01:03:24A little capoeira there from Trick.
01:03:28But it wasn't enough to keep the Street King down.
01:03:32Oh, running boot right to the face.
01:03:34Oh, both men are down.
01:03:40Both men with the same idea.
01:03:42That 360 pump kick.
01:03:45Both men connecting at the exact same time.
01:03:49The exact same result.
01:03:50And we might get a double count out here.
01:03:52Sammy Zayn continues to lurk at ringside.
01:03:5624 hours away from the main event of Saturday night's main event.
01:04:01Trick, Priest, Sammy, Orton.
01:04:03The winner of the fatal four-way match.
01:04:05Which will take place right here in the Bell Center.
01:04:07We'll go to the Royal Rumble in Riyadh.
01:04:09A week from tomorrow to face Drew McIntyre.
01:04:12For the WWE title.
01:04:13If you are Sammy Zayn, you are loving this match.
01:04:16Going so deep into these walls here.
01:04:18Both men getting punished.
01:04:20Oh!
01:04:21Priest got caught.
01:04:21Off the bookend.
01:04:25And a kick out by Priest at two.
01:04:27On the longer this match goes on,
01:04:30the easier tomorrow night gets for Sammy Zayn.
01:04:33This is another look at this spinning bookend here.
01:04:36From Drake Williams.
01:04:38Almost getting the job done.
01:04:40You've got to think neither one of these two men
01:04:42is going to be 100% recovered
01:04:45by Saturday night's main event tomorrow night.
01:04:47Let's go through Sammy's mind here at ringside.
01:04:49Sammy's loving what he's seeing.
01:04:50Doing a little scout.
01:04:51To pick it up on some, perhaps, injuries
01:04:53he can exploit tomorrow night.
01:04:55Drake Williams looking to put him away
01:04:57with a trick shot.
01:04:58But Damian Priest able to sidestep.
01:05:00And now Priest!
01:05:02Face first goes.
01:05:03Drake Williams isn't enough for the win.
01:05:05Drake powers out at two.
01:05:08Both men hurting in a big way.
01:05:09You see blood on the face of Damian Priest.
01:05:12He just wants this match to be over in a hurry
01:05:16and start his prep for tomorrow night.
01:05:18Drake Williams proving to be a tricky customer.
01:05:21And Priest bounces off the ropes.
01:05:32And Trick Williams rolls out of harm's way.
01:05:34Trick mouthing off of the crowd really just trying to G himself up in the process.
01:05:49Trying to find something else.
01:05:51Digging deep in that tank.
01:05:53Damian Priest now stalking the outside.
01:05:55Oh God, here we go.
01:05:56Look out.
01:05:56Here comes Priest driven onto our announce table by Trick Williams.
01:06:01Priest got caught by Trick and Trick has taken over.
01:06:04Well, flapjack right there onto the desk.
01:06:07Nice reactions there from Trick Williams now staring a hole into Sammy's.
01:06:11Oh God.
01:06:12And now Priest driven into Sammy's aid into the barricade.
01:06:15Killed two birds with one stone.
01:06:18And Trick Williams has found every answer he needs tonight.
01:06:22And with Zane down, perhaps Damian Priest, if he can haul that massive carcass back into the ring, is a beaten man.
01:06:31Count of eight by the official.
01:06:33Trick will break the count back into the ring.
01:06:35Great, great ring awareness there from Trick Williams.
01:06:38Fully aware of exactly how much time he had.
01:06:41He won't win this by eight counts.
01:06:43I want to break that count and prove a point to Damian Priest.
01:06:46Well, Trick was trying to drag a Priest carcass into the ring.
01:06:50Finally gets him in there.
01:06:51There's a heavy garbage, believe me.
01:06:53A 270 pounds of prime Puerto Rican.
01:06:57But it's in the ring.
01:06:58And now Trick Williams can end this in style.
01:07:03But Sammy Zane.
01:07:04Sammy's had enough.
01:07:07And Sammy Zane now.
01:07:08This match is going to get thrown out as Sammy Zane goes after Trick Williams because of what happened here at ringside moments ago.
01:07:14And this is exactly why Damian Priest did not want Sammy Zane anywhere near this match.
01:07:21And Sammy Zane has completely lost it.
01:07:24Well, can you blame him after everything William said about him earlier tonight?
01:07:27Interrupting him here in his hometown of Montreal.
01:07:33Sammy Zane.
01:07:34Just a very different animal right here in Montreal.
01:07:39Well, Priest warned Sammy.
01:07:41Stay out of my business.
01:07:42And now Sammy Zane going right after Priest.
01:07:45Zane warned Priest, you don't get to tell me what to do.
01:07:48And here's a physical response to your attempts to do just that.
01:07:52And Priest with a kick to Sammy.
01:07:59There it is.
01:08:00The trick shot.
01:08:02Trick Williams nails that tomorrow night.
01:08:04He will be going to the Royal Rumble to take on WWE champ Drew McIntyre.
01:08:13The trick.
01:08:14Trick Williams has firmly proven he belongs at the very top here on SmackDown.
01:08:20Regardless of how this one ended.
01:08:23Trick Williams.
01:08:25Oh!
01:08:26The Viper!
01:08:27The Viper!
01:08:30Oh!
01:08:31Okay, no!
01:08:37If Randy Orton hits that tomorrow night, he's going to the Rumble.
01:08:42He'll face McIntyre for the WWE title.
01:08:47Rule number one of this game.
01:08:50Never, ever, ever forget about the Viper.
01:08:59Saturday night's main event.
01:09:02The fatal four-way for an opportunity at the undisputed WWE Championship.
01:09:08Will be the 14-time champion Randy Orton.
01:09:11The upstart Trick Williams.
01:09:13The former world champ Damian Priest.
01:09:15Or Montreal's own Sammy Zane.
01:09:18I hear voices crying.
01:09:21I see heroes dying.
01:09:24I taste blood that's drying.
01:09:27I feel tensions rising.
01:09:29I hear voices in my head.
01:09:32They call me.
01:09:33They understand.
01:09:34They talk to me.
01:09:37They talk to me.
01:09:40They tell me things that I will do.
01:09:43They show me things on TV.
01:09:46They talk to me.
01:09:48They talk to me.
01:09:50They talk to me.
01:09:51They talk to me.
01:09:54They talk to me.
01:09:55They talk to me.
01:09:56RKO out of nowhere.
01:09:59It doesn't matter who you are.
01:10:03The Viper will strike.
01:10:05Will Saturday night's main event be Randy Orton's party?
