00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:30The road to WrestleMania has led us to Charlotte, North Carolina, a.k.a. Buzz City.
00:00:39Fittingly, WWE fans everywhere are still buzzing after Royal Rumble.
00:00:43The results there have sent shockwaves through the industry.
00:00:46The ripple effect now hits the Spectrum Center, where everyone here knows there's no turning back after history in Riyadh.
00:00:55We kick off the road to WrestleMania with the Royal Rumble.
00:01:05This fan zone in Riyadh is different.
00:01:08It is special.
00:01:10You are looking live at a sold-out Riyadh season stadium at Cap.
00:01:17It's pouring in.
00:01:19The women's Royal Rumble match.

00:01:39I am the greatest Royal Rumble winner of all time.
00:01:47AJ Styles puts his career on the line against the career killer, Gunther.
00:01:57AJ with nowhere to go.
00:02:08The legacy of AJ Styles fades to black.
00:02:17The ruler, Gunther's at number one.
00:02:27The ruler, Gunther's at number one.
00:02:41I'm gonna make a comeback.
00:02:44Coming to the hood and attacking Break'em.
00:02:45Obama Femi has got to eliminate Break'em.
00:02:47Inside now, the fear has a place to stay with me.
00:02:50And the pain doesn't go away.
00:02:52Come me young, me young.
00:02:53The return of LA Knight.
00:02:55My hope is dying.
00:02:57My love goes on.
00:03:00Can't make it alone.
00:03:02Can't find the way we go.
00:03:04Points to the sky.
00:03:06McIntyre has eliminated Rose
00:03:13Down to four
00:03:16Roman Reigns is going to WrestleMania
00:03:28Roman has done it
00:03:36Roman Reigns is back on top of the mountain in WWE
00:03:41You want star power North Carolina, you got it
00:03:49It's Tiffany time
00:03:50Tiffany Stratton in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match
00:03:53It also includes Chelsea Green
00:03:55And one of the breakout stars from the Royal Rumble
00:03:57Lash Legend
00:03:59And the Viper is set to strike in Charlotte
00:04:02Randy Orton so close in the final three of the Royal Rumble
00:04:06Orton needs to get past two fierce rivals
00:04:10Including Aleister Black and Solo Sokola
00:04:13Who will be the first of the men's superstars to make it to Elimination Chamber
00:04:17We find out tonight
00:04:18And the undisputed WWE Champion
00:04:24Drew McIntyre is here
00:04:28He's showing it off
00:04:29His trip to Riyadh included a title defense
00:04:32But perhaps even more pronounced
00:04:35Was the stunning
00:04:36Unexpected role he played
00:04:38In the Royal Rumble
00:04:39When he appeared out of nowhere
00:04:42To interfere in the match
00:04:44And eliminate
00:04:46Cody Rhodes
00:04:47We'll be right back to the gif hot
00:04:49To disappear in the match
00:04:49And the meny
00:05:00In the Royal Rumble
00:05:02Sokola
00:05:03You can find out
00:05:04Now
00:05:05Let's take a look
00:05:06Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
00:05:24Hold on, hold on
00:05:25Oh, that's Cody
00:05:26Well, this is an absolutely furious Cody
00:05:32You just mentioned it
00:05:33Eliminated from the Royal Rumble
00:05:35With that sneak attack Claymore from McIntyre
00:05:39And we know full well that Cody Rhodes
00:05:42Wanted to challenge for that championship
00:05:44At WrestleMania
00:05:46And these consequences for Drew are severe
00:05:49It was a mid-Rumble Claymore
00:05:55That eliminated Cody Rhodes
00:05:57Of course, it was back on January 9th in Germany
00:06:01When Drew defeated Cody
00:06:03For that right there
00:06:05The undisputed WWE Championship
00:06:08And Cody is irate
00:06:09Absolute pandemonium
00:06:11To kick SmackDown off of Drew McIntyre
00:06:14Watch no piece of Cody Rhodes tonight
00:06:17Not this version of Cody anyway
00:06:18What a reception
00:06:24For the American Nightmare here in North Carolina
00:06:26Drew McIntyre
00:06:32Drew McIntyre
00:06:33You think things are going to be the same?
00:06:35You're just going to come to the ring
00:06:37Smiling
00:06:38Title in tow
00:06:39Drew, things will never be the same
00:06:42You eliminated me from the Royal Rumble
00:06:48A match that you weren't even in
00:06:51This is by your own design
00:06:53This is a self-fulfilling prophecy
00:06:57For the first time in my career, Drew
00:07:00I can't in good conscience point at that sign
00:07:04And speaking of that sign
00:07:08This past Monday
00:07:09I watched two of the very best
00:07:12Two men I respect
00:07:14Roman Reigns and CM Punk
00:07:16Not just declare their hatred
00:07:17But declare their championship match
00:07:20And as the biggest WWE fan
00:07:23I was excited
00:07:25I was excited
00:07:28But why
00:07:31When this amazing moment
00:07:34Has concluded
00:07:35Is my name
00:07:37The first name that comes out of your mouth
00:07:40It's simple
00:07:41It's because people know
00:07:43What Wrestlemania means to me
00:07:45What I mean to Wrestlemania
00:07:48And besides
00:07:49I heard that it was going to be a
00:07:51You know what measuring contest
00:07:53Well, they're both glad I'm not in it
00:07:56Because I didn't get the nickname Raheem
00:07:58For no reason
00:07:59Charlotte, North Carolina
00:08:02What do you want to talk about?
00:08:10I was born in this city
00:08:12Right down the street
00:08:14Presbyterian Hospital
00:08:16Pizza boxes
00:08:20Stacked to the ceiling
00:08:22Art Anderson
00:08:23Manny Fernandez
00:08:24Fighting each other
00:08:25In the waiting room
00:08:26My sister
00:08:27Running around
00:08:28Like she was She-Ra
00:08:29So imagine my shame
00:08:31Imagine my discomfort
00:08:33When I return
00:08:34To the city
00:08:35That the story's first page
00:08:37Was written on
00:08:38Empty-handed
00:08:39Imagine
00:08:46Imagine
00:08:46Imagine my discomfort
00:08:49Returning here
00:08:51My shame
00:09:10My discomfort
00:09:10Returning here
00:09:11Without the championship
00:09:13And Drew
00:09:14That's your problem
00:09:16You weren't mad
00:09:18That you weren't
00:09:20WWE Champion
00:09:21You were mad
00:09:22That I was
00:09:23Don't worry
00:09:27Because your shame
00:09:29My shame
00:09:31My discomfort
00:09:32It becomes
00:09:34Your downfall
00:09:36Drew McIntyre
00:09:37Don't worry about a thing
00:09:39Because you won't make it
00:09:41To Wrestlemania
00:09:42And that is how we begin
00:09:46Friday Night Smackdown
00:09:47With Cody wasting
00:09:49No time
00:09:50Attacking Drew McIntyre
00:09:51As he returns
00:09:52To Charlotte
00:09:53His birthplace
00:09:55As he says
00:09:56Empty-handed
00:09:57Things will never
00:09:59Be the same
00:10:00Indeed
00:10:00Joe Tessitore
00:10:01And Wade Barrett
00:10:02With you
00:10:03For Friday Night Smackdown
00:10:04A far different road
00:10:06To Wrestlemania
00:10:07For Cody Rhodes

00:12:40Introducing first, making their way to the ring, they are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, EO Sky and Rhea Ripley!
00:12:56You know, they spent a good chunk of the past year as the most highly competitive opponents, and of course now the greatest of friends.
00:13:02With this undeniable chemistry, should be a great one, Women's Tag Team Championship match.
00:13:07Julia trying to become a double champion, but Ripley and EO right there to defend.
00:13:11This match delivered by puppetry!

00:15:45so
00:15:49so
00:15:55so
00:15:57so
00:16:03And their opponents, the team of Keanu James and the women's United States champion, Julia!
00:16:19Wait, Julia has benefited greatly from having her advisor, her official representative,
00:16:25Keanu James, in the mix.
00:16:27Just as much in the ring as out of it, just managing things for the United States champion.
00:16:31Yeah, just massaging the wheels of industry on behalf of Julia,
00:16:36creating opportunities that's already seen her win the United States championship on more than one occasion.
00:16:43Now on a mission for tag goal, but let's put a little love on Keanu James
00:16:48and her breakout performances in ring over the past six weeks or so,
00:16:53including in the Royal Rumble match.
00:16:55This is not some mere advisor, this is a major threat herself.
00:17:00And as she's pointed to that mega mind of hers, when she connects in the ring and behind the scenes,
00:17:06big things happen for both Julia and Keanu James.
00:17:10Women's Tag Team Championship match is our first match of the night
00:17:14in front of this massive crowd here at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
00:17:20Julia and Keanu earning the opportunity,
00:17:23winning a number one contender triple threat match back on January 23rd.
00:17:29This match for the Women's Tag Team Championship match is delivered by Papa John's.
00:17:35Better ingredients, better pizza, Papa John's.
00:17:38You can try the new pan pizza from your local Papa John's.
00:17:42Welcome to the busiest division in all of WWE, this Women's Tag division.
00:17:48So many top teams battling out just for an opportunity to compete against Rhea Ripley and EO Sky.
00:17:57And opportunity awaits now.
00:18:01Rhea able to get off the shoulders of James, who realizes,
00:18:05I want no part of that right hand.
00:18:07Using that mega brain right off the back.
00:18:10Keep away from those fists of Rhea Ripley.
00:18:14You actually don't need a mega brain for that part.
00:18:17That part is obvious, to be fair.
00:18:19Now the beautiful madness in against Rhea.
00:18:26Tag jams have been busy already this year,
00:18:29outside of their extracurricular duties in the singles division,
00:18:33of course, competing in the Royal Rumble match.
00:18:35They have competed in several championship matches,
00:18:38already in 2026, in that red hot division.
00:18:42As we saw on Raw this past Monday,
00:18:44the reunited Bella Twins now want a piece of gold sooner or later.
00:18:48So keep an eye on those two.
00:18:50EO and Julia towing the line,
00:18:52and then the striking combinations and driving down with that boot is Julia.
00:18:59Oh, and mocking EO.
00:19:02How do you know it's not a tribute?
00:19:03That's right, it's not a tribute.
00:19:05Please, the cascade of booze raining down from this smart crowd here in Charlotte.
00:19:14But look at the body control of the Genius of the Sky.
00:19:18Well, freakish abilities has EO Sky,
00:19:21hence the reason why so many millions around the world love the Genius of the Sky.
00:19:26Oh, sweeping that leg, and then bringing the dropkick with all the momentum behind it.
00:19:33That shotgun dropkick from EO Sky.
00:19:36EO is just a woman at the absolute peak of her powers.
00:19:40A gold-laden career already here in WWE that just seems to grow by the month.
00:19:46Tossed down by the back of the hair.
00:19:51Women's Tag Team Championship match.
00:19:54Of course, we are working our way to Elimination Chamber.
00:19:57Three weeks to go to all the action at the United Center in Chicago,
00:20:01and we will have qualifying matches tonight, both on the women's side and the men's side.
00:20:06Down behind the referee's back.
00:20:09Keanu James is draping EO's throat over that top rope.
00:20:14And that part isn't the smart part.
00:20:16The cheap shot isn't the smart part.
00:20:18It's waiting for that prime opportunity behind the referee's back.
00:20:22Whatever game plan Keanu James put together here alongside Julia is working perfectly.
00:20:27A high-octane offense with a little brutality to it from Keanu James.
00:20:40Julia now distracting the referee as the count climbs.
00:20:46Julia's got to be careful here.
00:20:47That's right in front of the referee.
00:20:50Risking a disqualification now.
00:20:53It'll be a major faux pas in a Tag Championship match like this.
00:20:56But they're just looking for a sustained beatdown of EO Sky.
00:21:01As they've got it lined up.
00:21:02Oh! Off the apron comes Julia.
00:21:06You see that?
00:21:06James and Julia in control early.
00:21:22See the action out on the floor.
00:21:24Julia and Keanu James getting the best of EO Sky.
00:21:28Well, Rhea Ripley's yelling at me for some reason.
00:21:30I didn't do anything for once.
00:21:33Just goes to show you the temperament of Rhea Ripley is right at boiling point.
00:21:39And it would behoove both Julia and Keanu James to ensure that EO Sky does not get anywhere near this tag.
00:21:46And some of that rage that was just directed at me is going to be directed at them.
00:21:51But in a far more physical form.
00:21:53Into the cover.
00:22:02Lateral press hooks the leg.
00:22:03Count of two.
00:22:07And EO's just trying to steady herself.
00:22:09Looking for any opportunity.
00:22:10The smarts of Julia and Keanu now.
00:22:14Cutting that ring in half.
00:22:16Keeping EO on the wrong side of the tracks.
00:22:19And just putting wood to the genius of the sky.
00:22:22But I will tell you this right now.
00:22:32It is not a smart strategy to be wasting time in the ring mocking EO Sky.
00:22:37You simply cannot give this woman a single break once you have the upper hand.
00:22:42And perhaps Julia now realizes that.
00:22:45Or maybe not.
00:22:46Here comes Julia charging in and delivers to the small of the back of EO Sky.
00:22:52And you can see her wincing in pain.
00:22:54Here's the cover.
00:22:55And unable to grab gold there as EO survives it.
00:23:00Some real professional jealousy you sense between these two Japanese ladies.
00:23:06Julia far from happy with the fact that a marquee name over here in WWE is EO Sky.
00:23:13James comes in hard to that corner.
00:23:18A running tackle.
00:23:19Nothing pretty about it.
00:23:20But it was effective.
00:23:22There's a certain physicality.
00:23:25That said early on from Julia and Keanu James.
00:23:28Oh, that was an absolutely devastating throw into the turnbuckle there.
00:23:33There was simply no way EO Sky could protect herself on that impact.
00:23:37And that was why it was so smart from Keanu James.
00:23:41But, of course, fighting away still.
00:23:43There is simply no quit in EO Sky.
00:23:47Tantalizingly close to that tag.
00:23:51Desperate to reach out.
00:23:52Maybe just a foot and a half away from making that tag with Rhea Ripley.
00:23:57Who wants to make the tag to get out of harm's way.
00:24:02But also to protect this championship reign that these two are putting together.
00:24:08Fighting with everything she's got is EO Sky.
00:24:12And you would expect nothing less.
00:24:14So close.
00:24:15But denied again.
00:24:16Perfect there from Julia.
00:24:18Pax Suplex here in the middle of the ring.
00:24:19Women's Tag Team Championship match.
00:24:31EO Sky has been enduring a sustained attack from Julia and Keanu James.
00:24:37The challengers.
00:24:38The number one contenders.
00:24:39She is desperate to make the tag to Rhea Ripley.
00:24:42Well, call it what it is.
00:24:43This has been an absolute mauling of the genius of the sky.
00:24:47And now Julia giving EO a taste of her own medicine.
00:24:50Could we have new chance?
00:24:53That right shoulder gets up of the EO Sky.
00:24:55That missile dropkick sent EO about three quarters across the ring.
00:25:00Yeah, and Rhea Ripley, you can see, is sensing championship goal slipping away from her.
00:25:06As Julia and Keanu close in on the tag titles here.
00:25:12Oh, perhaps an opportunity for EO now.
00:25:15You can see how affected her lower back is from the beatdown that she took.
00:25:20Trying to reach out.
00:25:22Oh!
00:25:22Keanu James took the shortcut.
00:25:24This could be the golden opportunity for EO Sky.
00:25:30As EO screams in agony, the response from Rhea is blocking out and make the damn tag.
00:25:38And Joe, here it is.
00:25:41Mommy's arrived, Wade.
00:25:45Rhea Ripley.
00:25:49Giving it right back to Keanu James.
00:25:54Oh, what a most physical woman in the division.
00:25:59Cleaning house.
00:26:02A little extra something on that basement dropkick.
00:26:05Yeah, pens up Rage and now coming on glue.
00:26:08Much to that misfortune of Keanu James.
00:26:12Razor's edge is lined up.
00:26:14Blindside tag there, but I think Mammy actually saw it.
00:26:17Eyes in the back of her head.
00:26:19Oh, there's a roll.
00:26:19There's a roll.
00:26:20Tag team championship match here.
00:26:24The intensity is really high.
00:26:27Oh!
00:26:28Did you just see the genius of the sky?
00:26:34The most high-risk woman we have ever seen in WWE.
00:26:38And once again, it paid off.
00:26:40Julia completely laid out.
00:26:42And in a bad way, Mammy might have put this one to bed.
00:26:46Two to retain right here.
00:26:48And Keanu James survives it.
00:26:51Julia is now in a bad way on the floor out here.
00:26:54She might be out of this for good.
00:26:57As the tag champs close in on what is likely an imminent retention of the goal.
00:27:02She was looking for Riptide.
00:27:04Instead, James delivers the big kick and then heads to the corner and is on the attack.
00:27:11Keanu James moves right on top of Rhea Ripley.
00:27:14The full eye out for writing off the challenges here who is suddenly picking up a major head of steam.
00:27:21Julia is now the legal woman.
00:27:24Arriva Durgey from a 401k for goal.
00:27:28What a save by Rhea Ripley.
00:27:31Oh, I'm telling you right now, that was over.
00:27:34That was new tag champs.
00:27:35401k from Keanu James following up with an Arriva Durgey.
00:27:40But Mammy had other ideas there.
00:27:43The big headbutt by Rhea.
00:27:46And then Julia sends her across the ring.
00:27:49Back and forth these teams go.
00:27:52Julia and Keanu James earn their way to be the number one contenders.
00:27:57And they are bringing everything they have right now.
00:28:01She was looking for Northern Lights bomb.
00:28:03But instead, EO.
00:28:04EO able to counter.
00:28:05O'Connor roll.
00:28:06Could it be a way to retain?
00:28:07Instead, the kick out.
00:28:09There was a tag there to Rhea Ripley that I don't think Julia saw.
00:28:14It's been such a chaotic style of match.
00:28:16There's the Riptide.
00:28:17Over the moonsault.
00:28:23The combo worked by the champs.
00:28:26Here are your winners and still WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:28:37EO Sky and Rhea Ripley.
00:28:43Well, Julia and Keanu James brought one hell of a challenge.
00:28:48But in those crucial moments, the tag champs just picked up the pace.
00:28:53Delivered the guts.
00:28:54And still, the Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:28:58EO Sky and Rhea bloody Ripley.
00:29:01Wow.
00:29:04You are gone.
00:29:06This is my time.
00:29:08Hey, here you go.
00:29:10I'm gonna get the U.S. title back and you better get out of my way right now.
00:29:15Or what?
00:29:16You're gonna hit me?
00:29:18See, that's your problem.
00:29:19You think brute force solves everything.
00:29:21Well, it worked quite well against you last week, didn't it?
00:29:25Look, I know this is gonna be very hard for you to understand.
00:29:28But sometimes you need to use your head around here.
00:29:30And nobody does that better than me.
00:29:31That's why I went to all this.
00:29:33So you can consider the open challenge closed.
00:29:36Hey.
00:29:37Hold on, hold on.
00:29:39When it comes to this title, I'm the one that calls the shots.
00:29:42Okay, Ilya, you beat Miz last week.
00:29:45You deserve that title shot.
00:29:46It's yours.
00:29:48But somebody doesn't deserve a title shot.
00:29:50And somebody's not getting a title shot.
00:29:52But you know what you are getting tonight, Miz, is an ass-whooping in a 704.
00:29:57Who do you think you are?
00:30:00I'm him.
00:30:01And I'm the United States champion.
00:30:02I'll do something about it.
00:30:03Oh, you're making the rules now?
00:30:04Is that what it is?
00:30:05I always will.
00:30:05Yes, I will.
00:30:06And yes, I do.
00:30:07No title tonight?
00:30:09You better not miss.
00:30:10And I won't.
00:30:14Get it done.
00:30:16Let's go.
00:30:22The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:30:35Introducing first, Chris Heidek in Hollywood, California.
00:30:40Weighing in at 221 pounds,
00:30:43The Miz!
00:30:47The Miz, who says the open challenge is closed,
00:30:51but the fierce rivalry among former friends is now open.
00:30:54Walk in like you own the air.
00:31:04Because confidence, that's your superpower.
00:31:07Acknowledge me.
00:31:09You don't dodge the noise.
00:31:11You flip it.
00:31:13Own it.
00:31:14Make it yours.
00:31:16Walk in loud.
00:31:18Walk out legendary.
00:31:20It's linebacker coach Vinny De Palma.
00:31:41A WWE super fan.
00:31:43He sits ringside all the time.
00:31:44Looks just like Braun Breaker.
00:31:45What's your prediction?
00:31:47He should get in the ring then, Joe.
00:31:48Well, my prediction is that the Seahawks,
00:31:51I'm sorry to you.
00:31:51Come on now.
00:31:52This is the linebacker coach.
00:31:53I'm so sorry.
00:31:54It looks like Braun Breaker.
00:31:55Hey, complicated relationship between The Miz and Carmelo Hates.
00:31:59It's been well documented.
00:32:01Now a new chapter gets written right here.
00:32:03I don't know if I'd call it complicated.
00:32:05I don't think they hate each other.
00:32:07I think it's quite simple.
00:32:07That is simple.
00:32:08It's been a complex story to get to this point.
00:32:11I will agree there.
00:32:11I'll decide when I get you way till next year.
00:32:14I'm at your top and get respect while I get big.
00:32:17Who's got a problem, huh?
00:32:18Tell him to step in.
00:32:20Step in.
00:32:22One, two, three, three.
00:32:23Cause I'm the greatest award we might never be.
00:32:26Here in my face and I lost this to go.
00:32:28And his opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts,
00:32:33playing in at 210 pounds.
00:32:36He is the United States champion, Carmelo Hayes.
00:32:46Well, as you touched on there, major history between these two.
00:32:50Certainly over the past 12 months or so, former tag teamers, Melo don't Miz.
00:32:55Miz will call himself the former mentor of this man, Carmelo Hayes.
00:33:00I'm not sure if Carmelo would quite agree with that, but certainly resume-wise, Miz is one of the best in history, certainly of his generation.
00:33:10He's looking to add to that resume by defeating the United States champion tonight and hopefully earn himself a championship opportunity at some point down the line.
00:33:21This a non-title match between Carmelo Hayes and the Miz, and Miz comes at him right away.
00:33:28You mentioned the history, of course, as Melo don't Miz, the former tag team partner.
00:33:32Miz, long ago, felt that Melo had the audacity to say he was moving on with his own personal goals.
00:33:39And Miz attacked him back in the fall.
00:33:42And now we get to this stage.
00:33:44Oh!
00:33:46See, the mentor didn't quite show the mentee all of his tricks.
00:33:50But I will say this.
00:33:51The point of Melo linking up with Miz 12 months ago, roughly, was to try and get Melo over that hump.
00:33:59Try and get him to that top level where he could win championships.
00:34:02But ironically, the second he walked away from Miz, he actually did just that and won gold for himself.
00:34:09So Melo certainly is in that top-tier bracket now.
00:34:13But Miz clearly not too happy about it.
00:34:16And Melo's been a great representative of the traditions in history of the United States championship.
00:34:23He's looking for a step up to the back of the head.
00:34:2549 days with the U.S. championship.
00:34:28Oh, look at Melo with the springboard.
00:34:30This is the sixth defense as he's into his championship run.
00:34:37Non-title again here tonight in Charlotte.
00:34:40Yeah, it's pretty funny when you get a guy like Carmelo Hayes who insists on running these Open challenges
00:34:45as we take another look at this supreme athleticism of the United States champ.
00:34:50Even when Melo takes a week off from the United States Open Challenge, he still gets in the ring with one of the best on SmackDown in the Miz.
00:34:59So Melo refusing to take his foot off the gas whatsoever.
00:35:03I love it.
00:35:05See, I love it too.
00:35:06In theory, I do worry about the body of Carmelo Hayes and the amount of abuse it has to absorb,
00:35:12knowing the kind of schedule he insists on keeping currently.
00:35:16Obviously, in prime athletic peak shape.
00:35:20Youth on his side.
00:35:22Again, looking for a spring.
00:35:23Oh!
00:35:23But the veteran just takes out his legs and that thud to the back of the head and upper back by Hayes.
00:35:32And you can't call it a dirty trick from the Miz.
00:35:35It was all perfectly legal.
00:35:37It was really a...
00:35:38Oh.
00:35:38Just a savvy move there from the Miz.
00:35:41Kind of conniving.
00:35:42And now Miz has a major upper hand in this one.
00:35:45He ain't missing.
00:35:46And now Miz has a major upper hand in this one.
00:36:16Miz's entire 20-year career here at the top in WWE.
00:36:20Some things never really changed, do they?
00:36:25Sending that knee to the gut.
00:36:27And then delivering that big boot.
00:36:30And hooks the leg right into the cover.
00:36:32Looking to put it away with a kick out by Hayes.
00:36:36He's shown a little frustration there.
00:36:37One of his main tactics of late has been using his Vex status to try and intimidate referees.
00:36:45And almost bully them into giving him favorable decisions.
00:36:49I don't think this referee in particular is going to fall for that.
00:36:59Driving all that leverage of that right leg across the back.
00:37:03You can see the throat of Hayes.
00:37:05Man, oh man.
00:37:06Just draped over that middle rope.
00:37:07Well, I talked about it earlier, Joe.
00:37:09Eventually, the kind of schedule you run as a United States champion sitting on a weekly open challenge against top competitors.
00:37:17And he's going to catch up with you.
00:37:19And you never really know when that's going to be.
00:37:21And of course, after that, a bunch of travel over to Saudi Arabia.
00:37:25About 11 time zones there and back.
00:37:32A big right forearm and a chop from Carmelo Hayes as he looks to fight his way back.
00:37:39But the Miz takes advantage.
00:37:43Hooks the leg.
00:37:44Looking for the win right here.
00:37:45I'll tell you, those boos from this crowd are just music to the Miz's ears.
00:37:51He's not one to be intimidated by a hostile crowd.
00:37:56Though this crowd would love to have a little juice to Melo right now.
00:38:00He certainly looks like he needs it.
00:38:02Completely dominant, the Miz has been from the early goings in this one.
00:38:06Just classic stuff from the Miz.
00:38:26And that might do it here.
00:38:27It could right here.
00:38:28Spiking Melo right on the top of his head.
00:38:31And you see Melo fading rapidly.
00:38:33It's not often you see Melo in this kind of predicament.
00:38:36For this sustained amount of time.
00:38:42Miz was instrumental in Carmelo Hayes.
00:38:45Beating Ilya Dragunov a couple of weeks ago in that open challenge.
00:38:48It would appear that Melo knew nothing about that.
00:38:51Miz struck, took out Dragunov and then implied in the aftermath
00:38:55that it was all Dragunov's idea.
00:39:03First time that Carmelo Hayes and the Miz have ever gone one-on-one.
00:39:11Of course, recent tag team champions from last year.
00:39:15Now Carmelo Hayes looking to fight back against the veteran,
00:39:19the former WWE champion.
00:39:20Something a little extra on these shots from Melo right now.
00:39:25A lot of anger, a lot of fury boiling out of Melo,
00:39:27risking a disqualification there.
00:39:29Go listen to the referee!
00:39:32The Miz pounce him once again.
00:39:34Melo has been outstanding in all his recent defenses of the United States.
00:39:38Oh, man, oh, man!
00:39:40La Mystica strikes!
00:39:41Yeah, that tilt-a-whirl spinning face buster of Carmelo Hayes.
00:39:46And you can see the effect it has had on the Miz.
00:39:50And Melo's taking a real beating in this one,
00:39:52but he's caught his second wind at just the right time!
00:39:55Man, oh, man!
00:39:56He goes flying!
00:39:58We'll go for that high-risk offense.
00:39:59Nasty landing for Melo, too.
00:40:01But Miz appeared to take the brunt of that.
00:40:04And this one has swung around in a major way in the blink of an eye.
00:40:10And that is championship-level stuff there from Carmelo Hayes.
00:40:16Hayes going up top where he is most comfortable.
00:40:21Oh, the knees are up!
00:40:22Miz got the knees up!
00:40:25And Hayes is able to kick out, but you can see him writhing in pain.
00:40:30Well, that was nice durability and timing there from the Miz,
00:40:33just as Melo reaches his peak.
00:40:36Okay, knees up!
00:40:37Boom!
00:40:37There you go!
00:40:38Almost pulling out the win there.
00:40:40Of course, this is a Miz who has previously won
00:40:43in the main event of WrestleMania back in 2011
00:40:47over John Cena, no less.
00:40:49So we know when the going gets tough,
00:40:51the Miz sometimes gets back to his best.
00:40:54Yeah!
00:40:54Yeah!
00:40:55Yeah!
00:40:55Yeah!
00:40:55Yeah!
00:40:55Yeah!
00:40:56Yeah!
00:40:56Yeah!
00:40:57Yeah!
00:40:57Yeah!
00:40:58Yeah!
00:40:58Yeah!
00:40:59Yeah!
00:40:59Yeah!
00:40:59Yeah!
00:41:00Yeah!
00:41:01Yeah!
00:41:01Yeah!
00:41:02Yeah!
00:41:03And the Miz survives with a count of two.
00:41:07Ooh!
00:41:08Trying for that skull crushing finale!
00:41:10But instead an arm drag and a big kick!
00:41:13Lateral press!
00:41:14We cover!
00:41:15And the Miz able to get that right shoulder up!
00:41:18Yeah, you're right, Joe.
00:41:19That cover was there, but there wasn't much to it from Melo.
00:41:22It was a desperation shot to the jaw of Miz.
00:41:26Perhaps the nose of Miz that certainly took him down.
00:41:29But Melo not with it quite enough left in the tank for a tightly stacked pin, which could well have been the difference maker.
00:41:35It's been an incredible run for Melo Hayes coming up with the recent victories against Shinsuke Nakamura and Leon Slater, Ilya Dragunov, Ray Phoenix.
00:41:45Of course, that Dragunov match, that's when The Miz interfered.
00:41:50And Hayes wasn't happy about the way that he retained with that win against Ilya Dragunov.
00:41:55And Melo almost getting caught on that top rope once again.
00:41:58It's not worked out well for him tonight, and Miz showing his power.
00:42:02Is he ever?
00:42:03Oh!
00:42:04The Miz could do it right here!
00:42:07Wow!
00:42:08Unique slingshot style powerbomb there from The Miz, who is really digging deep into the playbook tonight.
00:42:15And that shows a certain level of respect to Carmelo Hayes.
00:42:18Yeah, I'm going to pull out something pretty special if I'm going to beat Melo here, and this was pretty special.
00:42:25It still didn't get the job done for The Miz, but Miz is getting closer and closer, and we know what's coming next, Joe.
00:42:32Yeah, he generated all that power once again.
00:42:36Oh, and Melo, well scouted, delivering the elbow out the back door that time.
00:42:40Looking for first 48, but instead, The Miz.
00:42:44Oh, skull crushing finale!
00:42:46Wow!
00:42:47How in the world did he do that?
00:42:49First 48!
00:42:51What a great counter by Melo!
00:42:54Case closed!
00:42:58Here is your winner, the United States champion, Carmelo Hayes!
00:43:05Oh, man, that was absolutely spectacular.
00:43:10The first 48, Joe, was superb, but this moment, going for the skull crushing finale,
00:43:16that roll through from Carmelo Hayes really outlines why he's such a brilliant athlete.
00:43:22So difficult to pull off the timing on that, but Melo can do it, and once again, Melo did not miss.
00:43:30And the United States champ shining tonight here in Charlotte.
00:43:34Wow!
00:43:37Very impressive win by Carmelo Hayes.
00:43:44Decent re-atturnee, Tiffany Stratton.
00:43:46And Tiffany, at Royal Rumble, you were, unfortunately, only one elimination away from your goal of WrestleMania.
00:43:53How do you refocus and get your eyes back on that target of reclaiming the Women's Championship?
00:43:58Kathy, I had a WrestleMania match my first year being on SmackDown, so if you think I'm going to let one bad night ruin my chances of having another Mania moment, you're wrong.
00:44:08Which is why my sights are not set on Elimination Chamber, and tonight I remind everybody why SmackDown runs on Tiffy Time.
00:44:15Extra, extra, read all about our newsflash, tacky time, nobody cares that you're back.
00:44:22The only headline should be, Chelsea robbed of her WrestleMania moment after Royal Rumble elimination.
00:44:28Here, you can read all about it and sound out some of the beggar words.
00:44:32But don't hurt your little brain, because the only person in this company, newsworthy, is me.
00:44:39Chelsea, forget the headline, you should be checking the obituary, because that's where your name's going to be when I beat you tonight and your WrestleMania dreams are dead.
00:44:48Bye!
00:44:50Did you say that?
00:44:51No.
00:44:52No.
00:44:52No.
00:44:53Get lash, lash, lash.
00:44:54Spray to walk.
00:45:00Lash out.
00:45:02The following contest is a Women's Elimination Chamber Qualifier Triple Threat Match.
00:45:19Introducing first, accompanied by Nia Jax, from Atlanta, Georgia, Lash Legend!
00:45:28You know, Wade, every so often there are breakout performances at the Royal Rumble, those moments
00:45:35that can change the course of a superstar's trajectory.
00:45:38Lash Legend just did that.
00:45:40Over the next several months, we just keep raising the stakes until we get to SummerSlam.
00:45:55If we can make people believe that Seth is injured...
00:45:58That's where the magic happens.
00:46:02Along the way, you're building up these storylines.
00:46:05We were all confused.
00:46:07This isn't real.
00:46:08Are you ready?
00:46:11The road to WrestleMania has come through Charlotte.
00:46:23Ten weeks to WrestleMania 42 in Vegas.
00:46:25We saw Rhea Ripley and EO Sky retain their Women's Tag Team Championships earlier tonight.
00:46:31Carmelo Hayes moments ago with the win over The Miz as we continue on in front of this big crowd here.
00:46:38Number four, you took the lantern and left us in the dark.
00:46:55Not because you wanted to be alone.
00:46:58Because you're scared of being left behind.
00:47:04Scared of standing in the dark.
00:47:06All by yourself.
00:47:14So you hold the light tight.
00:47:18Hoping...
00:47:19It keeps everyone close.
00:47:25But it won't.
00:47:29Because fear...
00:47:30Doesn't show up when everyone's together.
00:47:34Fear...
00:47:35Shows up when you're all...
00:47:41Alone.
00:47:45Oh, no!
00:47:45What a great upgrade they got.
00:48:11Rise of Lash Legend has gone to the next level.
00:48:15Pledge your allegiance to...
00:48:18Oh, yes!
00:48:19No, no.
00:48:20No, no, no.
00:48:20Don't be a lynch and make the pledge to Her Majesty.
00:48:25She's arrived.
00:48:27You're actually standing for what's up.
00:48:29Standing to stretch my legs.
00:48:32Been on the air for an hour.
00:48:34And her opponent, accompanied by Alvapire,
00:48:38from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
00:48:41She is one half of the AAA Mixed Tag Team Champion.
00:48:45And Chelsea Green!
00:48:51Chelsea and the Royal Alvapire,
00:48:54who, in Saudi Arabia, Wade,
00:48:57was crawling like a human Ottoman footbench
00:49:00to make sure Chelsea wouldn't be eliminated
00:49:03from the Royal Rumble.
00:49:05And the only question I have, Joe Tass,
00:49:06is why weren't you there crawling like an Ottoman footbench
00:49:09to make sure Chelsea Green wins the Royal Rumble.
00:49:13That's why she lost.
00:49:15Do your job, Joe,
00:49:16as a loyal subject of Her Majesty.
00:49:20I'm hashtag Team Aldis all the way.
00:49:23Well, this is Nick Aldis' worst nightmare,
00:49:26but I am saluting Chelsea Green.
00:49:28And what a major opportunity Chelsea and indeed Lash
00:49:31have here upcoming
00:49:33to qualify for the Elimination Chamber.
00:49:36And their opponent,
00:49:55from Briar Lake, Minnesota,
00:49:58Tiffany Stratham!
00:50:00Well, last week at the Royal Rumble,
00:50:04it was a thrill to see Tiffany return.
00:50:0730th entry,
00:50:08after losing her championship to Jade Cargo
00:50:11back in November,
00:50:12taking some time away.
00:50:14She looked better than ever, Wade.
00:50:16She looked better than ever,
00:50:17but tasted the ultimate disappointment
00:50:20in coming runner-up
00:50:21in the Royal Rumble.
00:50:23Of course, won by Liv Morgan.
00:50:28But coming runner-up
00:50:29is so frustrating,
00:50:31but now the opportunity
00:50:32to get back onto that road to WrestleMania.
00:50:36So what's the game plan here
00:50:37for these three women
00:50:38to win this match?
00:50:39Qualify for the Elimination Chamber.
00:50:42Whereupon victory,
00:50:45we'll send you to a marquee championship matchup
00:50:48for the showcase of the Immortals.
00:50:50This is the first of our qualifying matches.
00:50:53You know the deal.
00:50:54Triple threat rules.
00:50:55First to score a pinfall
00:50:56or submission on any opponent wins.
00:51:00And the winner
00:51:00gets spot number one
00:51:02of the six spots
00:51:03in the Elimination Chamber
00:51:05to potentially earn
00:51:06a WrestleMania 42 title match.
00:51:09Immediately right off the bat,
00:51:11the mouth of Chelsea Green
00:51:12getting in major trouble.

00:56:09legend ever before just a supreme athlete a certain level of malice and there is a
00:56:19verbal war going on at ringside incredible it was as alba fire and naya jacks are screaming at each
00:56:25other by the way what was alba fire doing like a newspaper boy coming around with the handing out

00:57:31cover and both chelsea and tiffany able to get their shoulders up look no disrespect to any athlete of
00:57:39course but chelsea and tiffany may well be advised to team up to take out lash here because lash is simply
00:57:46having to get all her own way
00:57:53emphatic moment that would have been the lash legend but both women away in that pin but
00:57:59maya got a little too excited wow well now they are working together look at that although i don't think
00:58:04chelsea green knew too much about it the stepping stone attack from tiffany stratton and now showing
00:58:11off our her skill but lash legend the power again playing a major role
00:58:22oh went up for a drop kick there didn't get much on it but caught the knee of lash legend who's rolled out
00:58:27and maybe hobbled here looking for the unprettier looking for the unprettier tiffany trying to counter
00:58:34throws her into that corner oh the big boot and that was just the smart of chelsea green now winning the
00:58:41brilliant athleticism of tiffany stratton and tiffany put to her feet wave i mean if you're in the ring you
00:58:49want to capital capitalize while lash legend is down and apparently out oh superplex and then rolls right
00:58:57through and maintains position tiffy time in charlotte to advance to elimination chamber and lash
00:59:06legend with the save well that was threat always going to be the danger lash was always going to
00:59:11bounce back at some point and joe might be going big here she's looking for it
00:59:17stratton lash extension attempted there but stratton had other ideas from her signature move to now having
00:59:25him battle tiffany stratton was looking for that big pump kick instead look at lash legend time and again
00:59:34powering up her opponent oh did you see the small of the back buckle bomb connected and lash going big with
00:59:42a choke slam that choke slam could put her in position elimination chamber around the corner tiffany
00:59:48survived i mean lash did everything right there especially with that tightly stacked pin and that
00:59:54was a groggy kick out there from tiffany stratton but lurking menacingly now on the top turnbuckle

01:08:40Toxic!
01:08:43The temper tantrums, toxic!
01:08:48Toxic!
01:08:51And all these men trying to battle it out to see who's the biggest alpha.
01:08:59Well, no wonder they didn't want me in the match.
01:09:02Because I am the true, real man.
01:09:07And they can't handle a man who has confidence in his emotions.
01:09:14A man who moisturizes.
01:09:17Gotta stay moist.
01:09:18A man who listens.
01:09:21A man who listens.
01:09:23Ever heard of that, guys?
01:09:24Try it.
01:09:25You are toxic.
01:09:37They can't handle it.
01:09:39You can't handle it.
01:09:40You can't handle a man who moves his hips like this.
01:09:45Don't.
01:09:46No.
01:09:48Take me in.
01:09:51I don't have the sound.
01:09:58Do you know what?
01:09:58You are all toxic.
01:10:00But it is not about you.
01:10:02So anyone who is in the Rumble, if you are brave enough to come down here,
01:10:07face the man who is redefining masculinity.
01:10:12Face me one-on-one in a match.
01:10:14Because I am right here.
01:10:16I am right here.
01:10:18And I am the tonic to the toxic masculinity.
01:10:22And my name is Kit Wilson.
01:10:25You don't need to redefine masculinity.
01:10:39It's about to be defined with this man.
01:10:44The ruler.
01:10:45The ruler.
01:10:45The ruler.
01:11:01He's leveraged here.
01:11:05He has toxic masculinity.
01:11:07Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.
01:11:14Hope you moisturized well today, Kit.
01:11:41The most desired...
01:11:43I'm a feminist, so let me tell you, you are the problem.
01:11:48You are toxic!
01:11:51No!
01:11:53Oba Femi.
01:11:56This isn't time to panic.
01:11:57Panicking is a toxic trend.
01:12:00I take it back.
01:12:01It is time to panic.
01:12:03Oh, there's a lot of panic.
01:12:04The ring is literally shifting about six inches with each one of those.
01:12:11Oh, he just tossed him.
01:12:14It's a scene of devastation in the ring.
01:12:18He was just airborne.
01:12:21How about a fall from grace, too?
01:12:24Why not?
01:12:25Here is your winner, Oba Femi!
01:12:42Wait, that ain't toxic.
01:12:44Roach bait's toxic.
01:12:45Paint thinner's toxic.
01:12:47Mercury's toxic.
01:12:48That's just a red-blooded ruler.

01:14:32yeah we're gonna try this again remember he didn't even reach that point before he was attacked
01:14:38by the American nightmare a little less swagger in his stack this time around the smirk has disappeared and still wiping off the after effects of that beatdown he received from Cody Rhodes after the sneak attack at the Royal Rumble that McIntyre launched on Rhodes
01:14:55that undisputed WWE championship that he earned in Germany back on January 9th
01:15:04of course that epic three stages of hell match
01:15:26he was able to conquer Cody

01:15:48the force of that hip attack and now he sends him out to the floor

01:19:04The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:19:08Introducing first, from Kyoto, Japan, playing in at 220 pounds, Shinsuke Nakamura!
01:19:38Go!
01:19:39Go!
01:19:40Go!
01:19:41Go!
01:19:42Go!
01:19:43Go!
01:19:44Go!
01:20:45We, Tama Tonga's career was rooted with success in Japan, and that is where he overlapped
01:20:51with the great Shinsuke Nakamura.
01:20:54It's also a source of the recent interactions that has led to this moment, with Tama crossing
01:21:00a line of sorts and making comments on Shinsuke's recent efforts against AJ Styles.
01:21:06And with that, we have this match.
01:21:09Yeah, so the implication from Tama Tonga is that the potency of Shinsuke Nakamura in ring
01:21:18in the year 2026 is not quite as strong as it was during their days competing back in Japan,
01:21:26saying that Shinsuke Nakamura is no longer deserving of the King of Strong Style moniker.
01:21:34I would argue that performance against AJ Styles was an absolute epic from Shinsuke Nakamura.
01:21:41Perhaps the best he's looked in a little while in ring and certainly came within milliseconds
01:21:49of victory over AJ Styles, but a hot start here nonetheless from Tama Tonga.
01:21:53Yeah, it was a great effort, I thought, a thrilling match as Shinsuke able to get out of the way
01:21:58and then strikes with the hit.
01:22:01He said to him, he said, hey, what happened to Nakamura?
01:22:03He used to be the man.
01:22:04Maybe it's time to follow Styles on his way out.
01:22:06So very detailed, and Shinsuke took that as disrespect.
01:22:11He took it personally as well he should.
01:22:13A guy of his caliber who put in such an epic performance against AJ Styles.
01:22:19Jim, to me, clearly back in top form as we kick off WrestleMania season.
01:22:25Yeah, the road to WrestleMania.
01:22:26We are underway.
01:22:28Ten weeks to go, April 18th and 19th.
01:22:30WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
01:22:33The showcase of the Immortals.
01:22:36You can really feel the intensity of every match we have at this point.
01:22:40Oh, nice there from Tama Tonga.
01:22:44Well, we've seen a different side of Tama Tonga lately, too.
01:22:47Of course, we're used to him being the feral, wild animal of the MFTs.
01:22:52And he's really made a mark for himself since arriving at SmackDown
01:22:56with that particular rough-egged persona.
01:22:59But he's been a little more softly spoken of late.
01:23:02But Nakamura needs to keep his focus here.
01:23:05And that is difficult to do when the ringside area is prowled
01:23:08by Tonga Loa and JC Mateo.
01:23:12Oh, he's just draping him over our announced guest.
01:23:15So what is Tama Tonga doing?
01:23:16Well, one distraction, and here's what happened.
01:23:19Oh, no!
01:23:20That flying elbow as he was draped over the announce desk.
01:23:25One, two, three, four.
01:23:28Come on, let's go.
01:23:29shinsuke nakamura has been damaged out here on the floor as moments ago tamatanga got the best
01:23:45of them coming off of the timekeeper's barrier to deliver a leaping elbow as shinsuke was in
01:23:52such a compromised position we got a little taste of exactly why the mfts have such a
01:23:57fearsome reputation one opportunity tamatanga pounces carnage ensues we're now looking utterly
01:24:07dominant and the king of strong style is looking a stepped force all of a sudden
01:24:12losing count of how many times our announced test has been annihilated tonight it's still standing
01:24:21though which is a surprise in itself
01:24:31more notes though joe no they're thrown around like confetti
01:24:40tamatanga now just being reckless with the body of shinsuke nakamura
01:24:45sending a real message to the rest of the locker room here directly from the mfts and
01:24:52tamatanga has got his marching orders from the boss solo sekoa go out and make an example of shinsuke
01:25:00nakamura and he's doing exactly that and of course solo sekoa will be in action later on tonight in
01:25:07that elimination chamber qualifier along with alistair black and randy orton could be a massive
01:25:13night here for the mfts it could be we already had our first qualifying match earlier tonight for the
01:25:18women's elimination chamber and that was tiffany stratton hitting the prettiest moonsault ever
01:25:24she was victorious over lash legend and chelsea green
01:25:28yeah kind of season where everyone in the locker room raises their games the top stars who you're
01:25:39used to realize yeah i want to be back to wrestlemania maybe the underling stars the ones who are trying
01:25:45to break into that top bracket no this is the moment to make a move empty the tank this time of
01:25:52year and we're seeing that already tonight some frenzied moments and this is a picture of dominance and
01:25:59control now from tamatanga with very little going back the opposite direction from shinsuke nakamura
01:26:07tomatanga continuing to maintain complete control against ship i mean what chance did shinsuke really
01:26:24have coming out here tonight and i will say tongalowa jc mateo physically
01:26:29you
