00:00Introducing the challengers at a combined weight of 485 pounds, the team of Rick, Boogs, and Shinsuke Nakamura!
00:18And their opponents, they are the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Jimmy and Jay, the Usos!
00:36We the ones, the bloodline, the Usos, and great work there by the ring announcer from SmackDown, Samantha Urban, making her WrestleMania debut here tonight.
00:45And here we go, Pat, the longest reigning SmackDown Tag Team Champions ever, the Usos, seven-time tag champs, putting the gold on the line.
00:55No strangers to the big stage or the Usos. The bloodline has been drifting gold for a long time.
01:03Shinsuke, though, but a champion all over the globe.
01:06Nakamura, just like that, the kicks now to Jimmy Uso, who's starting this matchup off for the brothers.
01:12257 days, the Usos have held the SmackDown Tag Team titles.
01:17Shinsuke Nakamura, former Tag Team Champion in his own right, won the Royal Rumble back in 2018.
01:24Multi-time Intercontinental and United States Champion as well.
01:28There's a reason why every stadium, every arena goes berserk.
01:32Whenever Shinsuke shows up, it's because he's been great for a long time.
01:35Nakamura into the cover to try to win the gold early in a kickout.
01:38Pat, we've talked a lot about this over the next couple of weeks, or the last couple of weeks.
01:42There's a ton of pressure tonight on the Usos.
01:45The fact that the head of the table, the Universal Champion, the bloodline's leader.
01:49Oh!
01:50Double-teamed by the Usos.
01:51Roman Reigns defends the Universal Championship in the biggest WrestleMania match of all time.
01:57These are the money weekends, though.
01:58The bloodline have been used to this.
02:00Here's how this thing started.
02:01Shinsuke tried to kick the Uso right in the mouth.
02:06And this is Jey Uso.
02:08We the ones.
02:09But back to your point, though.
02:10I think that's why Shinsuke and Boogs wanted to attack quickly.
02:13Because the pressure might be on the champions.
02:16Yeah, the Uso's can he'll afford a loss tonight.
02:18Because how will that affect the mindset and the psyche of the head of the table?
02:20Roman Reigns heading in to tomorrow night's main event.
02:24And Jey Uso, now in control.
02:26Tags in his brother, Jimmy.
02:28And there's no doubt about it.
02:30They're a tight crew.
02:31Roman's definitely watching this match.
02:33Hey, let's start the most stupendous WrestleMania weekend of all time out on the right foot here.
02:39Let's keep the gold in the bloodline.
02:41But Shinsuke and Boogs, since being together, have really brought the best out of the church.
02:46It's out of the work!
02:47It's out of the work!
02:48And Shinsuke Nakamura, who's in trouble here.
02:50And then the cheap shot by Jey Uso mentioned before.
02:53Winner of the 2018 Royal Rumble.
02:56The king of strong style.
02:57He's a multi-time Intercontinental and United States champion.
03:00Former tag team champion as well.
03:03Yeah, he's a gentleman.
03:05In and out of the ring as well.
03:07The bloodline, the Usos, they're not scared to do a little dirty trickery to win this thing.
03:11And Shinsuke and Boogs have really clicked in recent months and become a hell of a tag team.
03:16Yeah, what did you say they were doing with that farmer?
03:17Oh, and oh, look at the step up Enziguri to the back of the neck.
03:22And now cover to retain the championship.
03:24Almost had him.
03:25And at two and a half.
03:27Jimmy Uso talked a bit earlier on today about how this being the first WrestleMania back together with his brother for a few years.
03:33Injuries took them off the track for a couple of years.
03:37But they're back.
03:38They admitted they were a bit nervous coming in.
03:40Boom!
03:40Right to the back of the neck.
03:41These two twins, they've been on the same page literally since birth.
03:46Shinsuke and Boogs have had to build up that chemistry over the last few weeks.
03:50Shin trying to make a tag and Jimmy Uso trying to drag him back into his corner.
03:55And there's the power of Jimmy Uso.
03:57But Shinsuke caught him on the other side, right to the side of the face.
04:00And now Nakamura has an opportunity to make a tag of the powerhouse Rick Boogs.
04:05And Boogs trying to rally Nakamura.
04:13Jimmy Uso trying to drag himself to his corner as well.
04:16Tags are made.
04:17Boogs and Jay are legal.
04:20And remember, it was Jay Uso who Boogs tricked.
04:23Feigning injury.
04:24Yeah, Boogs looks like he might just be a big muscle-bound meathead.
04:28But he's got a big brain inside of that head.
04:30Incredibly powerful man.
04:32Kick to the midsection.
04:33And oh, what a big right hand by main event Jay Uso.
04:36And Boogs, though, catches him in a bear hug.
04:40The right-hand man, main event Jay Uso in trouble with the power of Boogs.
04:45And Boogs just like that into a vertical suplex.
04:50What is Boogs thinking not to?
04:52Down to a knee.
04:54And back up again.
04:55No.
04:57Are you kidding me?
04:58Robert will win the tag team titles.
05:00Can Boogs put it away here?
05:01Almost had him.
05:02And a kick at two.
05:03The strength of a thousand suns.
05:06Boogs with an angelic voice.
05:10Able to deadlift an Uso from a knee to a suplex.
05:14Boogs fired up tonight.
05:17Opportunity to win his first championship here in WWE.
05:20And now with Jay Uso on his shoulders.
05:25Boogs looking right at Jay's brother Jimmy.
05:28And Jimmy's caught his wall.
05:29He got him down.
05:30Too much in the knee.
05:32Rick Boogs' knee.
05:33Boogs' knee gave out.
05:35The superhuman's knee.
05:36You saw Boogs immediately grab the knee as both Uso's.
05:42The weight was too much and Boogs collapsed to the mat.
05:46And he struggled to the corner to make a tag.
05:48Watch this again, Pat.
05:49Jimmy came on top there.
05:51And then the knee just buckled and gave out Nakamura now.
05:54Perhaps fighting this alone.
05:56You have to wonder if Jimmy was actually doing that as a defense.
05:59I think you're strong but not strong enough for both of us.
06:02And it may have worked out because Boogs is in trouble outside the ring.
06:05It's Shinsuke Nakamura now with rights and lefts and then the knee.
06:09And the striker Nakamura looking to knock off the Uso's.
06:16Jay whipped into the corner.
06:18Shinsuke Nakamura now.
06:20Oh, and a kick right to the back of the head again.
06:22And I love this move.
06:24This is vintage Shinsuke Nakamura.
06:30Shinsuke probably recognized the fact that he's going to be doing it alone here for a bit.
06:36Get out!
06:37On fire!
06:39And Nakamura has Jay Uso in his sights.
06:41Perhaps looking for the Kinshasa.
06:43The finishing maneuver by Shinsuke Nakamura.
06:46But he runs into a super kick by Jay Uso.
06:49Tag to Jimmy.
06:52Jimmy up to the top rope.
06:53The Uso splash!
06:55Cover on Nakamura!
06:58Oh, and a kick out by Shinnuke!
07:03And again, the story of this match.
07:05It's turned into a two-on-one affair because Nakamura's partner, Rick Boogs, is injured after his knee buckled earlier on in the matchup.
07:12And the Uso's looking to take advantage of the numbers game here.
07:15I don't think any of us could have seen Shinsuke kicking out.
07:18But that's the grit.
07:20That's the reason why stadiums are screaming.
07:25And now Jay Uso up to the apron.
07:29Jimmy and Jay stalking their prey.
07:33Handicap match, it feels like.
07:35Waist lock, the waist lock, tag made.
07:38Jay Uso legal.
07:40And look at Jay.
07:41Oh!
07:42Holding Nakamura for the super kick.
07:45And now the Uso's into the 1-D.
07:49One and done!
07:58We are one of the winners and still SmackDown Tag Team Champions, the Uso!
08:07So the bloodline starts WrestleMania weekend out on the right foot with a retention of the SmackDown gold over Nakamura and Boogs.
08:17established match, the appearance of the SmackDown LGBTQulu.
08:23Let's go for the champion.
