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. It is special.
00:01:10You are looking live at a sold-out Riyadh season stadium at Cap.
00:01:17The women's Royal Rumble match, who is going to be made of that WrestleMania?
00:01:25And Charlotte just kicked Nia and eliminated Nalaxa.
00:01:30A twin of magic, cuz.
00:01:33Lampus eliminated Raquel Rodriguez.
00:01:36Oblivion.
00:01:37A.J. Styles puts his career on the line against the career killer, Gunther.
00:01:55A.J. Styles with no way to go.
00:02:10The legacy of A.J. Styles fades to black.
00:02:17The Ruler, Gunther's at number one.
00:02:42Coming in to Hunataki break-up.
00:02:44Oma Femi has got a lemonade break-up.
00:02:53The return of L.A. Night.
00:03:05Plunge to the sky.
00:03:11McIntyre has eliminated Raquel.
00:03:13Down to four.
00:03:26Roman Reigns is going to WrestleMania.
00:03:29Roman 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 and one of the breakout stars from the Royal Rumble, Lash Legend.
00:03:59And the Viper is set to strike in Charlotte.
00:04:03Randy Orton so close in the final three of the Royal Rumble.
00:04:06Wharton needs to get past two fierce rivals, including Aleister Black and Solo Sokolos.
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, Drew McIntyre, is here.
00:04:28He's showing it off.
00:04:29His trip to Riyadh included a title defense.
00:04:33But perhaps even more pronounced was the stunning, unexpected role he played in the Royal Rumble.
00:04:39When he appeared out of nowhere to interfere in the match and eliminate Cody Rhodes.
00:04:47We'll be right back to Riyadh.
00:05:17Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
00:05:24Hold on, hold on.
00:05:25Oh, that's Cody.
00:05:29Well, this is an absolutely furious Cody.
00:05:32You just mentioned it.
00:05:33Eliminated from the Royal Rumble with that sneak attack Claymore from McIntyre.
00:05:39Well, we know full well that Cody Rhodes wanted to challenge for that championship at WrestleMania.
00:05:46And these consequences for Drew are severe.
00:05:49It was a mid-Rumble Claymore that eliminated Cody Rhodes.
00:05:58Of course, it was back on January 9th in Germany when Drew defeated Cody for that right there.
00:06:05The undisputed WWE Championship.
00:06:08And Cody is irate.
00:06:09Absolute pandemonium to kick SmackDown off of Drew McIntyre.
00:06:14What's no piece of Cody Rhodes tonight.
00:06:17Not this version of Cody anyway.
00:06:18What a reception for the American Nightmare here in North Carolina.
00:06:27Drew McIntyre, you think things are going to be the same?
00:06:36You're just going to come to the ring smiling, title in tow.
00:06:40Drew, things will never be the same.
00:06:45You eliminated me from the Royal Rumble, a match that you weren't even in.
00:06:51And this is by your own design.
00:06:54This is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
00:06:57For the first time in my career, Drew, I can't in good conscience point at that sign.
00:07:05And speaking of that sign, this past Monday, I watched two of the very best.
00:07:13Two men I respect, Roman Reigns and CM Punk.
00:07:16Not just declare their hatred, but declare their championship match.
00:07:21And as the biggest WWE fan, I was excited.
00:07:27I was excited.
00:07:30But why, when this amazing moment has concluded,
00:07:36is my name the first name that comes out of your mouth?
00:07:40It's simple.
00:07:42It's because people know what WrestleMania means to me,
00:07:45what I mean to WrestleMania.
00:07:47And besides, I heard that it was going to be a you-know-what measuring contest.
00:07:54Well, they're both glad I'm not in it,
00:07:56because I didn't get the nickname Raheem for no reason.
00:07:59Charlotte, North Carolina.
00:08:02What do you want to talk about?
00:08:05I was born in this city, right down the street, Presbyterian Hospital.
00:08:19Pizza boxes stacked to the ceiling.
00:08:22Arne Anderson, Manny Fernandez fighting each other in the waiting room.
00:08:26My sister running around like she was She-Ra.
00:08:29So imagine my shame, imagine my discomfort when I return to the city
00:08:35that the story's first page was written on, empty-handed.
00:08:45Imagine, imagine my discomfort returning here.
00:08:51My shame, my discomfort returning here without the championship.
00:09:13And Drew, that's your problem.
00:09:17You weren't mad that you weren't WWE Champion.
00:09:21You were mad that I was.
00:09:27Don't worry, because your shame, my shame, my discomfort,
00:09:33it becomes your downfall.
00:09:36Drew McIntyre, don't worry about a thing,
00:09:39because you won't make it to WrestleMania.
00:09:44And that is how we begin Friday Night SmackDown
00:09:47with Cody wasting no time attacking Drew McIntyre.
00:09:52As he returns to Charlotte, his birthplace,
00:09:55as he says, empty-handed.
00:09:58Things will never be the same indeed.
00:10:01Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett with you
00:10:03for Friday Night SmackDown.
00:10:05A far different road to WrestleMania
00:10:07for Cody Rhodes this year, Wade.
00:10:09Well, you can tell instantly, it is WrestleMania season.
00:10:13Everything is heightened, including the stakes,
00:10:16and as we just saw from Cody Rhodes,
00:10:18the reactions to big, big developments
00:10:22right here to kick off SmackDown.
00:10:23Let's turn our attention to the ever-increasing intensity
00:10:27of the women's tag team division.
00:10:28Kathy Kelly is backstage with the latest challengers.
00:10:32Kathy.
00:10:32Well, thanks so much, guys.
00:10:37I'm here with Kiana James
00:10:39and United States Women's Champion Julia.
00:10:41Tonight, you two have the opportunity
00:10:43to walk out of Charlotte
00:10:44with the women's tag team titles.
00:10:46So what would a win tonight
00:10:47set forth in motion for you two?
00:10:49Kathy, the tag team championships
00:10:51are just a stepping stone
00:10:52at Julia becoming a triple champion.
00:10:56The Royal Rumble was just a blip.
00:11:03Okay, Julia is exactly where we projected.
00:11:05Tonight, we'll win the tag team titles.
00:11:07She'll go on to win elimination chamber
00:11:09and then face the champion at WrestleMania.
00:11:14Now, if you excuse us.
00:11:30Good luck tonight, guys.
00:11:54...
00:11:55This is my new car!
00:12:16I eat sleep pain
00:12:19The demons in your dreams
00:12:21I eat sleep pain
00:12:23The following contest is scheduled for one fall
00:12:34And is for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
00:12:40Introducing first, making their way to the ring
00:12:44They are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions
00:12:49EO's tie, Andrea Ripley
00:12:55You know, they spent a good chunk of the past year
00:12:59As the most highly competitive opponents
00:13:00And of course now the greatest of friends
00:13:02With this undeniable chemistry
00:13:04Should be a great one
00:13:05Women's Tag Team Championship match
00:13:07Julia trying to become a double champion
00:13:10But Ripley and EO right there to defend
00:13:12This match delivered by Papa
00:13:13Everyone's gotta tell
00:13:26WrestleMania Vegas
00:13:34It's anyone's game
00:13:3714th time in history that SmackDown has been in Charlotte, North Carolina
00:13:58And would you look at how it just began, Wade?
00:14:01Oh, absolute pandemonium to kick off SmackDown tonight
00:14:05As WWE champ Drew McIntyre making his way to the ring
00:14:09And irate Cody Rhodes, who just a few days ago
00:14:13Was eliminated from the Royal Rumble
00:14:16From a cheap shot Claymore by Drew McIntyre
00:14:20Dashing Cody's WrestleMania dreams
00:14:22Well, Cody came for a pound of flesh tonight
00:14:26And he got that and some
00:14:28Just throwing Drew McIntyre around with abandon
00:14:32Thankfully, security eventually getting there
00:14:34As Drew McIntyre picked up his championship
00:14:37And scampered out of here
00:14:40He didn't scuttle
00:14:41For his own safety
00:14:42He was a scamper
00:14:43He didn't scurry
00:14:43He didn't make taste
00:14:44Full-on scamper
00:14:46I know you want to get your hands on Drew
00:14:48And I know you want to be WWE Champion again
00:14:50But listen to me
00:14:51Right now, there's one way to make that happen
00:14:53And that's winning the Elimination Chamber
00:14:54And to do that
00:14:55You have to qualify in the match
00:14:57I put you in next week
00:14:59So do me a favor
00:15:00And control your emotions
00:15:01Because if you can't
00:15:02I have to rethink that
00:15:05You know what that means?
00:15:07Yeah
00:15:07I got it
00:15:08So now
00:15:08I need you to leave the building
00:15:10All right
00:15:11I'll leave
00:15:12I'll control my emotions
00:15:13But I'll see you in Dallas
00:15:14I'll see you in Dallas
00:15:15Emotions are controlled
00:15:17He started this
00:15:18You know
00:15:18I'm under control
00:15:20I got it
00:15:20Well, that's Cody out of here
00:15:23It sounds like his Wrestlemania dream
00:15:25Is still a possibility
00:15:27But barely
00:15:28Via qualification
00:15:29For the Elimination Chamber
00:15:32And then
00:15:32For his hope
00:15:34Winning the thing
00:15:35I need you
00:15:46I need you
00:15:46I need you
00:15:46Please
00:15:48Officer
00:15:55Officer
00:15:59Is still a possibility
00:15:59I'm against you
00:16:00And their opponents, the team of Piana James and the women's United States champion, Julia!
00:16:20Wait, Julia has benefited greatly from having her advisor, her official representative,
00:16:25Piana James, in the mix.
00:16:26Just 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 Piana James
00:16:48and her breakout performances in ring over the past six weeks or so, including in the Royal Rumble match.
00:16:55This is not some mere advisor.
00:16:58This 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 Piana 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 Piana earning the opportunity, winning a number one contender triple threat match back on January 23rd.
00:17:30This 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.
00:17:57An opportunity awaits now.
00:17:59Rhea able to get off the shoulders of James, who realizes, I want no part of that right hand.
00:18:08Using 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.
00:18:26The Tag Jams have been busy already this year outside of their extracurricular duties in the singles division.
00:18:33Of course, competing in the Royal Rumble match.
00:18:36They have competed in several championship matches already in 2026 in that red hot division.
00:18:42And as we saw on Raw this past Monday, the 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.
00:19:04That's not tribute.
00:19:05Please.
00:19:06The cascade of boos raining down from this smart crowd here in Charlotte.
00:19:10But look at the body control of the Genius of the Sky.
00:19:18Briefish abilities has EO Sky.
00:19:21Hence the reason why so many millions around the world love the Genius of the Sky.
00:19:27Oh, sweeping that leg.
00:19:29And 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.
00:19:52Women'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.
00:20:06It's out behind the referees.
00:20:07Oh!
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.
00:20:28A 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.
00:20:49Risking a disqualification now.
00:20:53It'll be a major faux pas in a Tag Championship match like this.
00:20:57They're just looking for a sustained beatdown of EO Sky.
00:21:01As they've got to wind up.
00:21:02Oh!
00:21:03Off the apron comes Julia.
00:21:06You see that?
00:21:07James and Julia in control early.
00:21:19See 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.
00:22:01Into the cover.
00:22:02Lateral press.
00:22:02Hooks the leg.
00:22:03Count of two.
00:22:07Zio's just trying to steady herself.
00:22:09Looking for any opportunity.
00:22:11All the smarts of Julia and Keanu now.
00:22:15Cutting 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.
00:22:30But I will tell you this right now.
00:22:32It is not a smart strategy to be wasting time in the ring.
00:22:36Mocking EO Sky.
00:22:37You simply cannot give this woman a single break.
00:22:41Once you have the upper hand.
00:22:42And perhaps Julia now realizes that.
00:22:45Or maybe not.
00:22:48Here comes Julia charging in.
00:22:50And 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.
00:22:58Some 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 tantalizingly 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.
00:23:58Who 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.
00:24:18Back suplex here in the middle of the ring.
00:24:19Woo!
00:24:21Oh my gosh!
00:24:22I said four!
00:24:24Yeah!
00:24:24Four!
00:24:26One!
00:24:26One!
00:24:28One!
00:24:28Women'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 from the Sky.
00:24:47And now Julia giving EO a taste of her own medicine.
00:24:50Could we have new champs?
00:24:51That 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 as Julia and Keanu close in on the tag titles here.
00:25:11Oh, 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.
00:25:21Oh, Keanu James took the short putt.
00:25:27This could be the golden opportunity for EO Sky.
00:25:30As EO screams in agony, the response from Rhea is blocking out.
00:25:36And make the damn tag on Joe.
00:25:39Here it is.
00:25:41Mommy's arrived, Wade.
00:25:45Rhea Ripley.
00:25:49Giving it right back to Keanu James.
00:25:55Oh, what a slam down.
00:25:57Physical woman in the division.
00:26:00Cleaning house.
00:26:02A little extra something on that basement dropkick.
00:26:05Yeah, pants up, Rage, and now coming on glue.
00:26:08Much to that misfortune of Keanu James.
00:26:12On the razor's edge is lined up.
00:26:14Blindside tag there, but I think Mami actually saw it.
00:26:17Got eyes in the back of her head.
00:26:19Oh, there's a roll.
00:26:19There's a roll.
00:26:22Back 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?
00:26:32The 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, Mami might have put this one to bed.
00:26:46Two to retain right here.
00:26:48And Keanu James survives it.
00:26:50Julia 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.
00:27:03Just looking for riptide.
00:27:04Instead, James delivers the big kick.
00:27:07And then heads to the corner.
00:27:09And is on the attack.
00:27:11Keanu James moves.
00:27:12Right on top of Rhea Ripley.
00:27:15A full eye out for writing off the challengers here.
00:27:18Who's suddenly picking up a major head of steam.
00:27:22Julia is now the legal woman.
00:27:24Arriva Durche from a 401k.
00:27:27Four goals.
00:27:28What a save by Rhea Ripley.
00:27:31Well, I'm telling you right now, that was over.
00:27:34That was new tag champs.
00:27:36401k from Keanu James following up with an Arriva Durche.
00:27:40But Mami 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.
00:28:01Just 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.
00:28:20Over the moonsault.
00:28:23The combo work by the champs.
00:28:27Here are your winners and still WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:28:38EO Kai and Rhea Ripley.
00:28:42Well, 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, and still the Women's Tag Team Champions,
00:28:58EO Sky and Rhea bloody Ripley.
00:29:00Wow.
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?
00:29:54Is an ass-whooping in the 7-0-4.
00:29:57Who do you think you are?
00:30:00I'm him, and I'm the United States champion.
00:30:02I'll do something about it.
00:30:03Oh, you're making the rules now?
00:30:05Is 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.
00:30:11And I won't.
00:30:11Let's get it done.
00:30:16Let's go.
00:30:17Let's go.
00:30:17Let's go.
00:30:31Let's go.
00:30:31The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:30:35Introducing first, Chris Heide in Hollywood, California.
00:30:39Weighing in at 221 pounds, The 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.
00:31:08Acknowledge 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.
00:31:46What's your prediction?
00:31:47He should get in the ring then, Joe.
00:31:48Well, my prediction is that the Seahawks, I'm sorry to you.
00:31:51Come on now.
00:31:52The linebacker coach, I'm so sorry.
00:31:54It looks like Braun Breaker.
00:31:55Hey, complicated relationship between The Miz and Carmelville Hates.
00:31:59It's been well documented.
00:32:01Now a new chapter gets written right here.
00:32:04I 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.
00:32:12And his opponent from Boston, Massachusetts, playing in at 210 pounds.
00:32:36He is the United States champion, Carmelo Hayes.
00:32:45Well, 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.
00:33:11He's looking to add to that resume by defeating the United States champion tonight and hopefully earning himself a championship opportunity at some point down the line.
00:33:21This is 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.
00:33:33And then Miz long ago felt that Melo had the audacity to say he was moving on with his own personal goals, and Miz attacked him back in the fall.
00:33:42And now we get to this stage.
00:33:44Oh!
00:33:46The mentor didn't quite show the mentee all of his tricks.
00:33:50But I will say this, the 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.
00:34:03Ironically, the second he walked away from Miz, he actually did just that and won a goal 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 was 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.
00:34:32As 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,
00:34:54he 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 springboard.
00:35:24But 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.
00:35:36It was all perfectly legal.
00:35:37It was really a, just 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.
00:35:52And now Miz has a major upper hand in this one.
00:36:01And now Miz says we're closing the door on the Open Challenge of the United States Championship.
00:36:06and the boos are ringing out around this packed arena Joe which has pretty much been true
00:36:13at any moment of Miz's entire 20-year career here at the top in WWE
00:36:20some things never really change do they
00:36:23sending that knee to the gut and then delivering that big boot
00:36:29and hooks the leg right into the cover looking to put it away but the kick out by Hayes
00:36:36showing a little frustration there one of his
00:36:39main tactics of late has been using his Vex status
00:36:43to try and intimidate referees and almost bully them into giving him favorable
00:36:48decisions I don't think this referee in particular
00:36:51is going to fall for that
00:36:59driving all that leverage of that right leg across the back you can see the
00:37:03road of Hayes man oh man just draped over that middle road well 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
00:37:15challenge against top competitors it is going to catch up with you and you never really know when
00:37:20that's going to be and of course after that a bunch of travel over to Saudi Arabia about 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 hooks the leg looking for the win right here
00:37:47I'll tell you those boos from this crowd are just music to the Miz's ears he's not one to be
00:37:52intimidated by a hostile crowd though this crowd would love to have a little juice to
00:37:59mellow right now he certainly looks like he needs it completely dominant the Miz has been from the early
00:38:05goings in this one
00:38:24just classic stuff from the Miz and that might do it here it could right here
00:38:28spiking mellow right on the top of his head and you see mellow fading rapidly it's not often you see
00:38:34mellow in this kind of predicament for this sustained amount of time
00:38:43Miz was instrumental in Carmelo Hayes beating Ilya Dragunov a couple of weeks ago in that open
00:38:48challenge it would appear that mellow knew nothing about that
00:38:51Miz struck took out Dragunov and then implied in the aftermath that it was all Dragunov's idea
00:39:04first time that Carmelo Hayes and the Miz have ever gone one-on-one of course recent tag team
00:39:13champions from last year now Carmelo Hayes looking to fight back against the veteran the former WWE
00:39:20champion something a little extra on these shots from mellow right now a lot of anger a lot of fury
00:39:26boiling out of mellow risking a disqualification they're going to listen to the referee
00:39:32the Miz pounce him once again mellow has been outstanding in all his recent defenses of the united
00:39:37states oh man oh man la mystica yeah that tilt-a-world spinning face buster of Carmelo Hayes
00:39:45and you can see the effect it has had on the Miz well mellow's taking a real beating in this one but
00:39:52he's caught his second wind at just the right time oh man he goes flying we're going for that high risk
00:39:59offense nasty landing for mellow too but Miz appeared to take the brunt of that and this one has swung
00:40:06around in a major way in the blink of an eye well that is championship level stuff there from Carmelo Hayes
00:40:16Hayes going up top where he is most comfortable oh the knees are up
00:40:22Miz got the knees up and Hayes is able to kick out but you can see him writhing
00:40:29in pain well that was nice durability and timing there from the Miz just as mellow reaches his peak
00:40:35okay knees up boom there you go almost pulling out the win there of course this is a Miz who has
00:40:42previously won in the main event of wrestlemania back in 2011 over john cena no less so we know
00:40:50when the going gets tough the Miz sometimes gets back to his best
00:41:00looking for one more but Hayes gets out of the way looking for a quick one right here
00:41:03and the Miz survives with a count of two oh trying for that skull crushing finale but instead an arm drag
00:41:11and a big kick lateral press we cover and the Miz able to get that right shoulder up yeah you're
00:41:18right Joe that cover was there but there wasn't much to it from Melo it was a desperation shot to
00:41:24the jaw of Miz or perhaps the nose of Miz that certainly took him down but Melo not with it quite
00:41:31enough left in the tank for a tightly stacked pin which could well have been the difference maker
00:41:36it's been an incredible run for Carmelo Hayes coming up with the recent victories against Shinsuke Nakamura
00:41:42on Leon Slater Ilya Dragunov Ray Fiennes of course that Dragunov match that's when the
00:41:48Miz interfered and Hayes wasn't happy about the way that he retained with that win against Ilya Dragunov
00:41:55Carmelo almost getting caught on that top rope once again it's not worked out well for him tonight and
00:42:00Miz showing his power is he ever oh the Miz could do it right here wow unique slingshot style power
00:42:11bomb now from the Miz who is really digging deep into the playbook tonight and that shows a certain
00:42:16level of respect to Carmelo Hayes yeah I'm gonna pull out something pretty special if I'm gonna beat
00:42:22Melo here and this was pretty special it still didn't get the job done for the Miz but Miz is getting
00:42:29closer and closer and we know what's coming next Joe yeah he generated all that power once again oh and
00:42:37Melo well scouted delivering the elbow out the back door that time looking for first 48 but instead
00:42:43the Miz oh skull crushing finale wow how in the world did he do that first 48 what a great counter by
00:42:53Melo case closed
00:42:58here is your winner the United States champion Carmelo Hayes
00:43:05oh man that was absolutely spectacular the first 48 Joe was superb but this moment going for the skull
00:43:15crushing finale that roll through from Carmelo Hayes really outlines why he's such a brilliant athlete
00:43:23so difficult to pull off the timing on that but Melo can do it and once again Melo did not miss
00:43:29this on the United States champ shining tonight here in Charlotte wow
00:43:37very impressive win by Carmelo Hayes
00:43:44recent re-atturnee Tiffany Stratton and Tiffany at Royal Rumble you were unfortunately only one

00:52:14my car no my car my car my temper's heating up here and lash legend says you know what
00:52:22i'll deal with both of you yeah that's one thing you cannot do in a match against lash legend is take
00:52:27your eyes off the powerhouse the bougie bully is going to be a major problem oh problem now perhaps
00:52:32taking care of watch out quick one quick one and utilizing the leverage of the ropes as well well
00:52:38stratton simply too fresh oh look at the pinning combination from tiffy time it's been an absolute
00:52:45scramble from the word go you can tell all are firing on all cylinders here trying to get themselves an
00:52:51opportunity to make their way to wrestlemania now out on the apron is tiffany stratton
00:52:59nope waste lock but chelsea smart to disconnect and deliver with that hard hit to the edge of the
00:53:06apron salute time joe there's no saluting we're in the middle of doing our job chelsea green's going
00:53:12up top chelsea is going all the way up top well this is dangerous oh my chelsea green flying through
00:53:21charlotte's airspace silo jack's taking out she's not even in the match last legend got out of the
00:53:27way at the right time uh-oh oh what a pump kick from lash legendary pump kick to chelsea green and
00:53:37saluting away now is the last legend who's in position
00:53:52chelsea green went flying off the top down to the floor wiping out her rivals but took a little
00:54:01extra time celebrating the moment pointing to the wrestlemania 42 sign and that is when lash legend
00:54:09struck yeah and how can you not be impressed by the physicality of lash legend such a powerful frame
00:54:16one knows exactly how to use it to full effect as chelsea is unfortunately finding out oh man look at
00:54:26these four raw shots to the throat and the jaw of chelsea green oh oh i mean they're just ripping
00:54:34her entire body up and the throat across that top rope well it was done with malice and the strut

00:54:48you mentioned it earlier joe what a stunning oh here we go oh shoulders are down to advance
00:54:54stunning performance in the women's royal rumble match i believe lasting 38 minutes wiping out five
00:55:01competitors that is quite the tally for lash legend whose legend just grows from week to week here
00:55:08getting her up on the shoulders now you know the damage she can do when she gets her opponent in
00:55:12that position looking for the counter is chelsea and coming into the ring best press tiffany and beating
00:55:22down ground and pound
00:55:43oh look at this joe
00:55:45oh simply an unfair advantage for the bougie bully who is toying with two opponents simultaneously there
00:55:54are few superstars who have the power and athleticism of lash legend and showing off the strength as well
00:56:03yeah i don't know if we've seen this kind of body coordination match with the power of lash legend ever
00:56:10before just a supreme athlete a certain level of malice and there is a verbal war going on at ringside
00:56:21incredible it was as alba fire and naya jacks are screaming at each other by the way what was
00:56:27alba fire doing like a newspaper boy coming around with the handing out the chelsea the chelsea chronicle
00:56:33it's the biggest newspaper on earth it's the greatest broadsheet ever written extra extra
00:56:39the patriot ops calling for a redo of the royal rumble after the embarrassing elimination of our
00:56:45president i agree i think we need censorship immediately
00:56:50there is so much on the line here this is the women's elimination chamber qualifying match triple
00:57:06threat lash legend has been in complete control here dominating chelsea green and now looking to get the
00:57:12best of tiffany stratton joe and wade with you the winner gets the first spot in the elimination
00:57:18chamber to earn a wrestlemania 42 title match now legend looking to take out two birds with one stone
00:57:24apparently oh slamming down half both women might get pinned here look at this double cover and both
00:57:34chelsea and tiffany able to get their shoulders up look no disrespect to any athlete of course but chelsea
00:57:41and tiffany may well be advised to team up to take out lash here because lash is simply having it all her own way
00:57:52what a emphatic moment that would have been for lash legends 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
00:58:04think chelsea green knew too much about it the stepping stone attack from tiffany stratton
00:58:10and now showing off 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
00:58:27who's rolled out and maybe hobbled here oh looking for the unprettier pounce looking for the unprettier
00:58:32tiffany trying to counter throws her into that corner oh the big boot and that was just the
00:58:38smart of chelsea green now winning the brilliant athleticism of tiffany stratton and tiffany put to
00:58:46her feet wave i mean if you're in the ring you want to capitalize while lash legend is down and apparently out
00:58:54oh superplex and then rolls right through and maintains position tiffy time in charlotte
00:59:03to advance to elimination chamber and lash legend with the same well that was threat always going to be
00:59:10the danger lash was always going to bounce back at some point and joe might be going big here she's looking
00:59:16for it tiffany stratton lash extension attempted there but stratton had other ideas
00:59:22but from her signature move to now having a battle tiffany stratton was looking for that big pump kick instead
00:59:30look at lash legend time and again powering up her opponent oh did you see the small of the back
00:59:39buckle bomb connected and lash going big with a choke slam that choke slam could put her in position
00:59:46elimination chamber around the corner tiffany survives i mean lash did everything right there especially with
00:59:52that tightly stacked pin and that was a groggy kick out there from tiffany stratton but lurking
00:59:59menacingly now on the top turnbuckle chelsea coast to coast coast to coast by chelsea green
01:00:08could it be chelsea's day oh and naya jacks grabs the leg plays down back up in this game uh-oh alba

01:00:40the match way oh wow alba fire just saved chelsea green flash down alba down naya down and now tiffany

01:07:25Wait, I'm going to admit that the song is amazing
01:07:28So is Kit Wilson
01:07:32It's about time we started detoxifying SmackDown Joe
01:07:36No, no, no
01:07:37And I would start with you
01:07:38No, no
01:07:39The incessant complaining
01:07:40His crusade to rid the WWE of so-called toxic masculinity
01:07:46Like you
01:07:47No
01:07:47Looking around here with your shirt buttons on
01:07:50I'll take

01:07:55Wait, wait, wait, wait, the hips
01:07:56Shaving, yeah
01:07:57Wiggle those hips
01:07:58I mean, this is exhibit A
01:08:00And what psychologists would call ego reinforcement
01:08:03With his claim of moral superiority
01:08:06I'm Kit Wilson
01:08:08I'm Kit Wilson
01:08:08And yeah
01:08:09I'm the topic
01:08:11And I was at the Royal Rumble last weekend
01:08:17And you know what?
01:08:19What I saw

01:09:00They 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
01:09:09Who has confidence
01:09:10In his emotions
01:09:12A man who moisturises

01:12:01It is time
01:12:01To panic
01:12:02Oh there is a lot
01:12:04Of panic
01:12:04The ring is
01:12:05Literally shifting
01:12:07About six inches
01:12:09With each one
01:12:10Of those
01:12:11Oh
01:12:13He just tossed him
01:12:14It's a scene
01:12:15Of devastation
01:12:16In the ring
01:12:17He was just
01:12:19Airborne
01:12:20How about a fall
01:12:22From grace
01:12:23Two
01:12:23Why not
01:12:25One
01:12:27Two
01:12:28Three
01:12:29Go
01:12:30Here is your winner
01:12:37Oba
01:12:39Femi
01:12:40Wait 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
01:12:50Blooded ruler
01:12:51God
01:13:16Did you see Oba
01:13:18I'm just saying dog
01:13:19Oba stands for
01:13:21Oh my goodness
01:13:22Did you see him
01:13:24In the rumble
01:13:25Man he was smashing
01:13:26Pounding
01:13:27Eating people
01:13:28Did he put his hands
01:13:30On you
01:13:31My bad
01:13:32Doesn't even matter
01:13:33Dog listen
01:13:34I know we did it
01:13:35But Oba
01:13:36Didn't touch
01:13:37Not one single ball
01:13:39And he got into
01:13:40The rumble
01:13:40What you think
01:13:41About that
01:13:42Truth
01:13:44Do you ever
01:13:45Yo
01:13:46Excuse me
01:13:50You and I
01:13:58Have done this enough
01:13:59Looks like you have
01:14:01Enough problems
01:14:02I don't think you need
01:14:04I don't think you need another one
01:14:04It was a rough start to the night
01:14:19For Drew McIntyre
01:14:21Getting attacked by Cody Rhodes
01:14:23Cody has now left the building
01:14:25So maybe we get a chance to go back to whatever
01:14:28McIntyre originally had planned at the start of Smackdown
01:14:32Yeah we're gonna try this again
01:14:34Remember he didn't even reach that point before he was attacked by the American Nightmare
01:14:40A little less swagger in his stack this time around
01:14:43The smirk has disappeared and still wiping off the after effects of that beatdown he received
01:14:49From 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 uphill match
01:15:26He was able to conquer Cody
01:15:30Oh Jacob Fatou's here
01:15:33Jacob Fatou is attacking Drew McIntyre
01:15:36Well Fatou is convinced that McIntyre took him out months ago
01:15:41Oh!
01:15:42Despite McIntyre's repeated denials
01:15:45And once again McIntyre attacked
01:15:48The force of that hip attack
01:15:50And now he sends him out to the floor
01:15:52Jacob Fatou
01:15:54Remember what happened in January
01:15:56And now full-on attack
01:15:58Oh my
01:16:00Oh it's a rough night to beat WWE champ for Drew McIntyre
01:16:05And once again the victim of a relentless beatdown
01:16:09And who would want to be security?
01:16:11Oh man oh man
01:16:12He is tossing security everywhere
01:16:16Oh and into the steel steps
01:16:18Oh and now tearing apart our announce desk
01:16:21Jacob Fatou is absolutely unhinged
01:16:26Oh no no no no
01:16:27Ready to run
01:16:28We got bodies flying our way everywhere
01:16:31Send everyone
01:16:31Oh we're gonna need them
01:16:33Everyone
01:16:34He just delivered a massive
01:16:38Massive right hand to Drew McIntyre
01:16:42Who again is scampering out
01:16:45Matou is up on our announce desk
01:16:48He has taken over this arena
01:16:50To be clear these bodies now strewn around the ring
01:16:53And I'm quickly counting six or seven
01:16:54Are the only reason Drew McIntyre got out of there
01:16:59Wow

01:19:02Goal!
01:19:03Goal!
01:19:04The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:19:08Introducing first, from the winner of the winner.
01:19:09First, from Kyoto, Japan, weighing in at 220 pounds, Shinsuke Nakamura!
01:19:39Let's continue this game.
01:20:01And his opponent, accompanied by Tom Galoa
01:20:31and J.C. Mattel, playing in at 220 pounds, representing MFT, Tama Tonga!
01:20:45Tama Tonga's career was rooted with success in Japan, and that is where he overlapped with
01:20:51the 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, and with
01:21:07that, we have this match.
01:21:10Yeah, 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
01:21:26Japan, saying 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...
01:21:48...milliseconds of victory over AJ Styles, but a hot start here nonetheless from Tama Tonga.
01:21:54Yeah, it was a great effort, I thought.
01:21:56Thrilling match as Shinsuke able to get out of the way and then strikes him 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.
01:22:20Shinsuke, to me, clearly back in top form as we kick off WrestleMania season.
01:22:24Yeah, the road to WrestleMania, we are underway.
01:22:28Ten weeks to go, April 18th and 19th, WrestleMania 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-edged persona.
01:22:59But he's been a little more softly spoken of, Leigh.
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?
01:23:17Well, one distraction, and here's what happens.
01:23:19Oh, no!
01:23:20That flying elbow as he was draped over the announce desk.
01:23:38Shinsuke Nakamura has been damaged out here on the floor
01:23:43as moments ago Tama Tonga got the best of them
01:23:46coming off of the timekeeper's barrier
01:23:48to deliver a leaping elbow
01:23:51as Shinsuke was in such a compromised position, Wade.
01:23:54We got a little taste of exactly why the NFTs
01:23:57have such a fearsome reputation.
01:24:00One opportunity, Tama Tonga pounces,
01:24:04carnage ensues.
01:24:05We're now looking utterly dominant
01:24:08and the king of strong style
01:24:10is looking a stacked force all of a sudden.
01:24:13Oh!
01:24:16It's been annihilated tonight.
01:24:20It's still standing though.
01:24:25Which is a surprise in itself.
01:24:30Last can be said in your notes though, Joe.
01:24:32No, they're thrown around like confetti.
01:24:40Tama Tonga now just being reckless.
01:24:43With the body of Shinsuke Nakamura
01:24:45sending a real message to the rest of the locker room here
01:24:49directly from the MFTs.
01:24:52And Tama Tonga has got his marching orders from the boss,
01:24:56Solo Sinkoa,
01:24:58go out and make an example of Shinsuke Nakamura.
01:25:01And he's doing exactly that.
01:25:03And of course,
01:25:04Solo Sinkoa will be in action later on tonight
01:25:06in that Elimination Chamber qualifier.
01:25:10Along with Aleister Black and Randy Orton.
01:25:12Could be a massive night here for the MFTs.
01:25:14It could be.
01:25:15We already had our first qualifying match earlier tonight
01:25:18for the Women's Elimination Chamber.
01:25:20And that was Tiffany Stratton
01:25:22hitting 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
01:25:36raises their games.
01:25:37The top stars who you're used to realize,
01:25:40yeah, I want to be back to WrestleMania.
01:25:42Maybe the underling stars,
01:25:44the ones who are trying to break into that top bracket,
01:25:47know this is the moment to make a move.
01:25:50Empty the tank this time of year.
01:25:53And we're seeing that already tonight.
01:25:55Some frenzied moments.
01:25:57And this is a picture of dominance and control now
01:26:00from Tama Tonga.
01:26:03With very little going back the opposite direction
01:26:06from Shinsuke Nakamura.
01:26:11Tama Tonga continuing to maintain complete control
01:26:20against Shinsuke.
01:26:22I mean, what chance did Shinsuke really have
01:26:25coming out here tonight?
01:26:26And I will say, Tonga Loa, JC Mateo, physically.
