02:29praise by everybody in the industry and you can always sense how much he's appreciated by the fans
02:35for the way he's gone about this yeah no doubt about it it's been a fantastic run last few weeks
02:39from carmelo hayes incredibly exciting but we did hear from him a few minutes ago and he said for tonight
02:45the u.s title open challenge is closed that's just for tonight the question i have is mellow actually taking
02:53a week off and he would be well advised to do that in my opinion that body has been through
02:58a lot of abuse or does mellow have something else in mind this evening we're about to find out
03:10let's go dallas come on
03:15hey let me talk to y'all real quick hey look
03:27let me holler at y'all real quick though for the last 48 days that i've been the united states

04:53ilya Dragunov you up now
04:59oh wow
05:01all right no open challenge whatsoever this is a man who had a championship opportunity ruined several weeks ago by
05:09interference from the miz
05:11and we're gonna put that right now
05:13that was back on january 23rd when they were in the midst of yet another great match of course
05:19they had an all-timer back on december 26th
05:23when carmelo was able to defeat ilya Dragunov to win this united states championship
05:29they have such great respect for each other and they bring out the best in each other
05:34i think there's something wrong with carmelo hayes demanding a match with ilya Dragunov
05:39in my worst nightmares i never want to fight Dragunov
05:43this guy has a few screws loose and he's as intense as anyone i have ever seen in that ring
05:51yeah he only knows one way
05:53hold on hold on hold on
05:55what

08:16off
08:16one by one
08:18well the numbers game
08:21is being evened up by shinsuke nakamura
08:27the king of strong style
08:30the king of strong style is here
08:30tangalua over the barrier
08:32shin up on the apron
08:35shin got mugged by the mfts last week in his match against tamatanga now it's time for a little payback
08:42apparently
08:42clarence things out
08:44cardona
08:44apollo cruz
08:46shinsuke nakamura
08:49melo and ilia drag it off
08:51gentlemen hold on a minute here

08:58i like that i like this intensity
09:00good for business
09:01so here's what we're going to do
09:03ilia
09:04carmelo
09:05we're going to take a little rain check on that u.s title match
09:08and instead we're going to give dallas a big old texas size ten man tag team match
09:13and referee you can ring that bell because it starts right now
09:17ten man
09:19fisticuffs on a friday night
09:21mfts versus all right now texas sized
09:35so what started off wade with the best of intentions from carmelo hayes
09:40to bring out ilia dragunoff and say you know what you deserve it you deserve the rematch
09:45ends up looking like this
09:48solo sokoa and the mfts arrived
09:52the reinforcements from the locker room showed up
09:56including shinsuke nakamura who's now face to face with his long time chief rival
10:03including award in recent weeks tamatanga
10:06so we've had chaos from the word go tonight on smackdown
10:09why simple answer that big sign hanging a few feet above my head
10:15wrestlemania season everybody needs to get noticed right now
10:21it is just different this time of the year
10:23everything goes up a notch we are nine weeks away from wrestlemania 42
10:2964 days two weeks to elimination chamber everything is different
10:37oh big kick from shinsuke now these two in the ring of course have quite the history
10:41from their time back in japan the ten plus years ago
10:45that was extended by last week's matchup won by tamatanga albeit with major interference from the outside
10:52and shinsuke did not forget no he didn't
10:55and neither did the rest of the locker room to be fair what happened to shinsuke last week at the
11:00hands of the mfts
11:01will happen to every single one of those people on shinsuke's hastily thrown together team
11:10tamatanga just did serious damage to nakamura's left leg every which way he could
11:14and now he is in that corner with tangaloa lining him up for chops
11:18this is the muscle of the bloodline there's nothing nice and refined about the techniques of tangaloa
11:24more likely to rip your eyeballs out than apply a technical hole but man is he devastating
11:33now jc mateo the compact powerhouse with the great olympic pedigree
11:42handing out a clobbering to the back of shinsuke nakamura right there texas style
11:49oh shin able to get out of the way delivers the big boot to mateo and here comes apollo
11:55cruis was dealing with that torn pet was out for some time we had a great visit with the former
12:01u.s champ earlier today he's very excited to be back to action yeah he's been a long time out
12:06of action
12:06and that can lead to a hell of a lot of ring rust not what you need against a man
12:10like jc mateo
12:12with this wild power but the movement of apollo cruz coming to the full
12:17summer people cannot lock ten with nice apollo welcome back dynamic athleticism of apollo cruz so good to see him
12:27back healthy
12:28the man who simply does not age still looks baby faced as they come ten years deep into his run
12:35here at the top ten man tag
12:52he was out with a torn pec back to action now as matt cardona enters the fray
12:59cardona calls himself a kid in a man's world from his first run here in wwe says things are very
13:06different now
13:07he's grown up he's matured and he better be mature and ready for these mfts because they will rip you
13:13apart in a heartbeat
13:14if you give him a chance still shocking that we're in this position to have a ten man tag team
13:20match here in dallas
13:21into the cover hooking away looking to put it away count of two it was a smart move by gm
13:26nick aldis
13:27you got a group like the mfts you don't give them what they want they will hijack your show
13:31right now trying to hijack the wardrobe of matt cardona is tongaloa
13:36he's got a little nudity bonus nudity thankfully averted but a shot to the back ahead of cardona
13:43big clothesline from tongaloa now decapitated
13:49the mfts they interrupted the exchange that was taking place with carmelo hayes
13:56and ilia dragonoff of course this is a huge card here in dallas
14:00the main event is the men's elimination chamber qualifying match with jacob fatu
14:05sammy zane and cody rhodes cody rhodes so desperate to find the path to wrestlemania
14:11and a championship match you gotta be impressed with tamatonga now showing how smooth he can be
14:18and immediately clicking back into savage mode in the blink of an eye tamatonga incredibly impressive
14:25these past few weeks not least with that victory over shinsuke nakamura in singles last week
14:30he has been very impressive oh and now the nearly seven foot tall tall of tonga comes over the top
14:38rope
14:38and starts beating down matt cardona well this really is the centerpiece to the rebuild of the mfts put together
14:46by solo sokoa
14:47you acquire somebody like the massive talent tonga you almost can't fail
14:53comes charging into that corner with all that weight and leverage behind him
14:59oh so intimidating too just following orders from solo sokoa to at the mind of solo sokoa the body and
15:10power of talatonga equals devastation
15:14yeah his vision is this is my family that will collect everything that's owed to it all the gold and
15:20that is why he came out and immediately interrupted ilia dragonoff as carmelo hayes was looking to give dragonoff a
15:27remus
15:27for that u.s championship and now the tag is made and here comes dragonoff and as we were saying
15:36earlier he only knows one way and that is pain will entertain
15:42well he's got to be livid right now he was supposed to be at this point deep into a matchup
15:47with us champ carmelo hayes how quickly things turn around once the mfts got involved
15:52and now it's tonga lower who is facing the punishment for that opportunity going begging at least for this week
15:59for ilia dragonoff just delivered that boot so flush
16:02now jc mateo trying to interrupt things as dragonoff climbs that top rope oh did you see the way he
16:10hit the apron on the way down
16:11that spine first right on the corner of that apron that's one way to follow it up dropped in a
16:18heap now ilia dragonoff the mfts are running things tonight on smacks
16:22down
