00:00It's Tiffy time!
00:05Inspired entrance and successful title defense, now doing everything.
00:11I lost the WWE Women's Championship after having a rookie year,
00:15which is why I decided to qualify for Elimination Chamber.
00:18But because when I say I'm gonna do something, I do it.
00:22I walk in expecting to win.
00:30I would love to say it's so good to see your face again.
00:33Naya, why are you so obsessed with me?
00:36I'm gonna need you to calm all that down, bitter Betty.
00:39And the reality is, I am the upgrade.
00:43Tiffy time! Tiffy time!
00:45You remember what I'm capable of?
00:53Don't get ahead of yourselves, ladies.
00:56Work together until we are the last two standing.
01:00Don't let me get ahead of myself.
01:02Cause first, we...
01:04Women's Tag Team Championship match to open up here in Dallas.
01:10The Women's Tag Team.
01:12Ducking them too long was the exact quote.
01:15You make a lot of excuses like whiny little bees.
01:18Dynamic strategy to chop down.
01:21And all that momentum and the shotgun drop kick.
01:25Back back, the upper hand in.
01:27The stomping down on Naya.
01:29Being a little overconfident, a little cocky.
01:32Let's see what Lash can do.
01:33No, Lash Legend gets sent out as well.
01:35Too much to stop this off!
01:37Oh! Genius of the sky!
01:40By Naya Jackson.
01:41Oh, the Samoan drop!
01:43Naya Jackson, Lash Legend.
01:45Ooh, cornering in the aftermath of that dive.
01:48Power in that frame of Lash Legend.
01:52Oh, man! Oh, man!
01:55Smarley realizes she is effectively the rookie in the duo.
01:59Two women working to their strengths.
02:01And Lash Legend understands her role well.
02:03The experience levels within Lash and hopefully winning.
02:06But what an incredible counter!
02:08Inches away!
02:10And Lash Legend.
02:12Io off the back of Naya.
02:15And Naya Jackson and Lash have to stop it happening!
02:17Too late!
02:18As Ripley able to escape it and deliver up.
02:21Of Rhea Ripley.
02:23Wow!
02:23She's in the drop zone!
02:25And Lash! Nice!
02:26Oh! Lash Legend!
02:28Well, game of human skittles right there.
02:30And Lash Legend has had enough.
02:32Down before our eyes are getting absolutely mugged on the outside.
02:36Oh!
02:36Lash is out of control there!
02:38She is!
02:39The championship gold before Lash came in.
02:43Oh!
02:43Oh, here we go!
02:44Referee is having enough!
02:46Referee is completely out!
02:47A pledge!
02:48Oh!
02:49And Naya Jack, it is an all-out brawl out on the floor here.
02:54Oh!
02:54Paw kick!
02:56What is she doing?
02:58Irresistible!
02:59This thing went from a highly competitive...
03:01And now she's climbing up on the corner!
03:04There is no way!
03:05Come Zeo!
03:07Oh!
03:11Flying...
03:13And it's a timekeeper on the other side!
03:15Opening match.
03:16All the vitriol.
03:18All the intensity.
03:19Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre wouldn't even make it to WrestleMania.
03:23First have to go through tonight's qualifying match.
03:26So how are you so sure and confident that you will make it to WrestleMania?
03:30I could do what I did last week and speak with much conviction.
03:33I could be angry.
03:34Or I could do the Golden Boy thing, per our General Manager Nick Aldis, and control my emotions.
03:40Kathy, you're well aware of the pressures.
03:43There's 300-something-odd employees at WWHQ hoping that myself, Jacob Batu, the Samoan Werewolf, and Sami Zayn rip each
03:50other apart and have an all-timer of a main event tonight.
03:53It really adds up.
03:55I always ask myself one thing.
03:57Where am I?
03:58I am two matches away from main eventing WrestleMania.
04:05I'd say don't bet against me.
04:06Definitely don't bet against me here.
04:08Thank you, Kathy.
04:09Good luck tonight, Cody.
04:11I see you, man.
04:11I've been watching you.
04:12I love what you're doing with this United States Championship and the whole Open Challenge thing.
04:16Guys, let's not forget, I'm a former U.S. champ, too.
04:18And I keep saying I'm not just back to be back.
04:21The Open Challenge is open every Friday, but it's closed.
04:24Hope you guys understand.
04:25I get it.
04:25Look who it is.
04:29Handing title opportunities to anyone now.
04:31Anyone but you.
04:32I'm feeling the void that John Cena left, and you are testing my three core values.
04:37Master.
04:38Inspire.
04:39Zone in.
04:40I'm zoning in.
04:41I'm teaching you a lesson in respect.
04:43Well, hopefully you teach better than you wrestle.
04:48I think zone in is actually two words.
04:51M-I-Z.
04:52Miz.
04:52Master.
04:53Inspire.
04:55Selena will be in the women's elimination chamber qualifying match coming up.
04:59Carmelo.
05:00Hey!
05:02Just for tonight, the question I have is Melo.
05:05Hey, let me talk to y'all real quick.
05:06For the last 48 days that I've been the United States Champion, prestige and honest to this
05:12championship the same way that the guys before me did.
05:15It's one of those things that they say, banger after banger.
05:18Or whether we're talking about Raw, I said what I said.
05:22As your USA Champion.
05:25And since I'm going to shoot my shot, I will be qualifying for the Elimination Chamber.
05:31When I shoot, Melo don't miss.
05:36Whatsoever.
05:36This is a man who had a championship opportunity.
05:39They had an all-timer back on December 26th.
05:43Screws loose.
05:44He only knows one way.
05:46Hold on, hold on.
05:47Hold on.
05:48Hold on.
05:49Hold on.
05:49Hold on.
05:51Hold on.
05:52Talk about having a United States Championship match.
05:56Well, if a damn sure doesn't start with Ilya.
05:59How many times did you lose, huh?
06:01So get your ass in the back of the line.
06:04Abandoned you last week during your qualifier match?
06:08Hey, shut the hell up.
06:09And don't you ever talk about my family like that again.
06:11You understand me?
06:12Someone is looking out for a fight.
06:15How does that sound?
06:16Shut the hell up.
06:17Well, the way it's going to be, the MFTs are coming after them.
06:20With this crew, you should have hit.
06:24Matt Cardona arrives as does the Pavel Cruz.
06:28Uppercut from Tawatanga.
06:30The reinforcements came.
06:32Shinsuke Nakamura.
06:35Shin up on the apron.
06:36MFTs last week in his match against ABAC apparently.
06:40Clearance things out.
06:42Cardona.
06:42This night already started with chaos.
06:44And now you don't want to mix it up with the Fisticuffs.
06:46We're going to give Dallas a big old Texas size 10-man tag team match.
06:5010-man.
06:51Right now.
06:5110-man.
06:52Woo!
06:53Fisticuffs on a Friday night.
06:55Solo Shakoa and the MFTs arrived.
06:59Face to face with his long time.
07:02Everybody needs to get noticed right now.
07:06Mateo.
07:06Oh.
07:07Big kick.
07:07Sweak at the hands of the MFTs.
07:09Tawatanga just did serious damage.
07:11And refined about the techniques of Tawatanga lower.
07:14Now JC Mateo.
07:16The compact powerhouse.
07:18Shin able to get out of the way.
07:19Delivers the big boot to Mateo.
07:22The slumber people cannot contend with.
07:24Nice Apollo.
07:25Chamber qualifying match with Jacob Fatu, Sami Zayn and a championship match.
07:32Yes!
07:32Got to be impressed with.
07:33Not least with that victory over Shinsuke Nakamura in singles last week.
07:37Centerpiece to the rebuild of the MFT.
07:39You almost can't fail.
07:42So intimidating too.
07:44My family that will collect everything that's owed to it.
07:47All the gold.
07:48And that is US Championship.
07:50And now the tag will entertain.
07:53Well he's got to be livid right now.
07:54Carmelo Hayes.
07:55How quickly things turn around.
07:57And now it's Tongaloa who is facing the punishment.
08:01That's one way to follow it up.
08:03Dropped in a heap now.
08:05MFTs.
08:06And herein lies the issue with the style.
08:09Ilya Dragunov has barely been able to get to his feet ever since.
08:12Five former United States champions on one side of the ring.
08:15Problem is these five US champs on the far side of the ring there.
08:19As once again Ilya Dragunov getting pummeled in behind.
08:23Only Ilya Dragunov could possibly think about it.
08:26Thankfully for Dragunov it was.
08:28But Solo.
08:29Huge uppercut.
08:30Being down he's working on instinct at this point.
08:32And instincts are starting.
08:33When you've been beaten so badly by these five.
08:37Power out.
08:38Deliver some joint manipulation.
08:39Then a chop.
08:42Pinpoint strikes there from Matteo.
08:44How impressive is that?
08:46The MFTs were on the attack.
08:48Carmelo Hayes.
08:49Solo Sokoa dropping a couple more.
08:50Oh no.
08:52Your tag E.
08:53It is the US champ Carmelo.
08:55And here comes Mello giving him everything.
08:58He's got.
08:58Huge power.
09:00Springboard.
09:01In possession of every piece of gold.
09:04La Mystica.
09:05He delivers.
09:07For the win.
09:09Who has been the MVP.
09:10But it's breaking down in the hole.
09:12Oh.
09:12Kale wraps him up and delivers the German.
09:14Cardona escapes the spike attempt and a rough.
09:17Oh.
09:18But the power.
09:20The size.
09:21The Mad Dragon and Mello.
09:23Wow.
09:23Chokeslam.
09:24And now Cardona and Drew's teaming up.
09:26Big knees.
09:28The stuff of nightmares.
09:31Apollo Crews.
09:33JC Matteo looking to deliver.
09:36What's that clothesline now?
09:39H-Bombs delivered.
09:42Clears the deck into the post.
09:45First 48.
09:46Oh but Tama Taga sends him flying.
09:50Right into a spike.
09:52Tama Taga he's calling for the cutthroat.
09:54He's called.
09:55Oh that running.
09:59Still holding on to that.
10:04The Wyatt Six.
10:06They want their lantern back.
10:12Hi.
10:13Hi.
10:14Hi.
10:15Hi.
10:15I'm really sorry about the Royal Rumble.
10:17You didn't eliminate me.
10:18Nia did.
10:19But you know what she's not going to ruin?
10:21Today.
10:22Galentine's Day.
10:23Will you be my Galentine?
10:25Your favorite flowers?
10:28And a picture.
10:29Of you.
10:31For you.
10:32To you.
10:34Royal Rumble has the rules every woman for themselves.
10:36I get it.
10:37Elimination Chamber is the exact same way.
10:39But can we get back to me and my presents?
10:41Do you know what the best present is though?
10:43I'm going to be ringside with you tonight.
10:44You're my Galentine?
10:45No.
10:46Because I'm going to woo you.
10:48Fine.
10:49But bring the picture.
10:51I knew she'd love it.
10:52Speaking of matches, you may have heard Carmelo out there talking about the Elimination Chamber.
10:56On Smackdown, you're in a triple threat match with Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams.
11:00Gets a spot in the Elimination Chamber.
11:02Good luck with that.
11:02Hey Nick!
11:03What was that stunt you pulled last week with Obafemi?
11:06You're just lucky.
11:07Because today I choose to weaponize my words and not my fists.
11:11He got a book.
11:12A poem.
11:13Uh oh.
11:14Oh wow.
11:15Monday Night Raw is red.
11:17Smackdown is blue.
11:18Real men express feelings unlike you.
11:22Uh oh.
11:24That was dope.
11:25Wake up Nick.
11:27You are toxic.
11:29No it don't but it's still.
11:30Oh of course you would laugh.
11:32You can't enjoy a good poem from the only real man in this room.
11:36Violets are blue and roses are red.
11:38Did y'all see last week Oba put kid on his head?
11:43He said he's a real man.
11:45He said he's a real man.
11:45I think you lost your manhood.
11:47Cause I see a camel toe.
11:50You are violent.
11:52You're all toxic.
11:53You're so hostile.
11:58Toxic.
11:59Toxic.
12:00Toxic.
12:00Don't read some poetry.
12:02Make some eliminations and Alexa got tangled up.
12:04Next thing you know.
12:05Yeah and it's this link up with hobby Alistair Black from the big one.
12:09Rock the danger.
12:12Julia!
12:15Business advisor to the United States champ.
12:18For the elimination chamber.
12:20And then onwards to Wrestlemania.
12:22Any opponent wins and with a win.
12:25You want to break up anyone else taking a pin.
12:27You want to jump on that immediately.
12:29Long way to fixing that with victory tonight.
12:31Right hand from Julia.
12:33In the match.
12:34This is not about powerhouses right now.
12:35This is about technique.
12:37As well.
12:39Smashes.
12:41Slams Julia down hard.
12:42Individual but so devastating when she gets on a roll.
12:46And now Zelina has the target lined up as well.
12:49Sends Alexa right back into the ring.
12:51Lateral press.
12:52Oh look at the way that Zelina is utilizing those ropes.
12:58Julia has hopped in the ring.
13:00Having all that time to recover.
13:02Oh.
13:02Rolls through in the basement dropkick.
13:05Zelina back to her feet.
13:07And Zelina once again looking to pick up the pace here.
13:09Perhaps.
13:10Turfing out.
13:11Are in this triple threat to qualify.
13:13From contention for this elimination.
13:16In the background.
13:17That's what she's trying to get to.
13:19Oh!
13:20But don't celebrate too much.
13:22Not when Alexa.
13:23On with the belief.
13:25Doubles it up.
13:26For all three women.
13:28Oh!
13:29Qualified for the chamber.
13:31The kick out by Julia.
13:32Out of the window.
13:33It's how deep can you dig.
13:35Back Julia.
13:36But Julia just blasted her knee.
13:38And Bliss is going.
13:41Twisted Bliss but the knees got up.
13:43Gotta sense Julia was playing a little possum there.
13:45But wow!
13:47And Alexa saves it.
13:50Big swing and a miss.
13:51DDT.
13:53Big knee.
13:54Big knee comes in.
13:55But this might finish the job.
13:56Her best.
13:59Put it away.
14:00Oh!
14:01And Zelina comes in.
14:02Down here.
14:03Kiana James getting involved once again.
14:05Not small.
14:06And she eats.
14:08It certainly will be if Zelina connects in.
14:11No!
14:11Oh!
14:12Intercepted by Alexa!
14:18Zelina found momentum.
14:20But in the end.
14:23Tiffany.
14:24Things are a little different around here.
14:27And as much as I'd want to beat Jade.
14:28I wouldn't mind if, you know, you won.
14:30Win I win.
14:31I wouldn't mind seeing you at WrestleMania.
14:36Ow!
14:37Look what the cat rolled in.
14:38Look at the consequences of your action.
14:40Look long and hard.
14:41That foot that was once beautiful is now grotesque.
14:44Jealousy is a disease and you are riddled with it.
14:48We demand an apology.
14:50And better yet, if you wanted an apology, all you had to do is step up and ask.
14:54Oh wait!
14:56You can't!
14:59Get up!
14:59Jay Cargill defends against fellow powerhouse, the Juggernaut.
15:04Cody, Jacob Fatu and Sami Zayn tonight.
15:09How you doing buddy?
15:10Doing good, bro.
15:10You?
15:11Yeah, good.
15:11Look, hey, I know you're about to wrestle Trip Williams out there.
15:13Teach that guy a lesson, would you?
15:15He's talked a lot of trash to you.
15:16He's talked a lot of trash to me.
15:17I've seen guys like this before.
15:19Tonight, I got this.
15:20Hey, hey, I actually want to talk to you about something else.
15:23Yeah.
15:24Look, last week, man, when you were talking to me, I know I wasn't really, you know, I wasn't all
15:28there.
15:28After losing for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble, you know, it's been hard.
15:33It doesn't matter.
15:33Tonight's a chance to punch a ticket to the Elimination Chamber.
15:36Or giving hope to people that if I could do it, maybe anybody could do it.
15:39I just want you to know, and I'm going to take that hope.
15:41I'm carrying that hope to the ring tonight.
15:44Trip Williams!
15:47Well, I guess, for me, that is.
15:50That should have been the gig.
15:51What?
15:51Nope.
15:52Sami Zayn!
15:54Let me do you a favor, big dog.
15:55Every single week, you come out here.
15:58You're backstage.
15:59You got sketches on your feet.
16:01You ain't combed your head.
16:03Your breath smelling like 10 pounds of bounce that ass.
16:07And you begging for another opportunity.
16:10You make me sick.
16:12They going to eat your ass alive.
16:14Let's talk about it.
16:15Next week, I'm going to come out here.
16:17I'll probably put on my mean coat.
16:19What?
16:21I'll probably take off my lemon pepper steppers.
16:26What?
16:27There it takes to qualify for the Elimination Chamber.
16:36The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
16:44Interrupted Ray Phoenix.
16:46Who's encouraging Sami Zayn backstage.
16:48As presented by Sonic's new $6 All-American Smasher meal.
16:52Live free.
16:52Smackdown several weeks ago back to Germany.
16:54Forget that.
16:55There's a little extra fire in Ray Phoenix tonight.
16:58Incredible story this year with Cody Rhodes.
17:01The Rhodes team leads at Drew McIntyre and the WWE.
17:03Into those championships all the way to WrestleMania.
17:07Would you look at Ray Phoenix.
17:09Here on Smackdown.
17:10One of the most.
17:11Oh, man.
17:12Oh, man.
17:13Patrick Williams.
17:14And the size.
17:16A true heavyweight.
17:17Shouldn't be able to move as well as he does.
17:19Stabs three chains.
17:20Three cars two feet.
17:21Oh.
17:22Double whammy.
17:23Trip Williams.
17:25Interrupted Ray Phoenix backstage.
17:27Someone as experienced as Ray Phoenix a 20 year vet.
17:31Now pounding down with those right hands.
17:34I can do this all day long.
17:36But if you're getting the job done in the ring.
17:39Into the hook of the leg.
17:40Cover.
17:41Start to fray a little.
17:42Because if that happens.
17:43Major power.
17:45Oh.
17:46Charging up like Bucket.
17:47T. Oh God.
17:49A backhander.
17:50Do this all day long.
17:52Oh.
17:52Great spinning kick from Ray Phoenix.
17:54By Trick Willy.
17:56He has found something.
17:57He has found something.
17:57Fresh.
17:58Oh.
17:58He misses.
17:59Adios amigos.
18:00Things can turn.
18:02Phoenix.
18:03The speed of getting back up there Joe.
18:05How quickly did he.
18:07Oh.
18:08Late late kick out.
18:09I mean that really is his special sauce in there.
18:12That movement.
18:13Gingerly climbing.
18:14Not this guy though.
18:15Oh.
18:17Phoenix.
18:18Double stomp.
18:21Oh.
18:22That fire stomp nearly.
18:23Once again.
18:24Already on the top rope.
18:25Freakish ability here from.
18:27Oh.
18:28What a trick shot.
18:30He turned him inside out.
18:33But he still has ways to put you down.
18:36Nice job Trek.
18:37Women's Championship on the line.
18:39As Jay Cargill defends.
18:49One more fan base here on Smackdown.
