00:00.
00:10Trick Williams and Ray Phoenix set to go at it.
00:17Last week, Trick Williams interrupted Ray Phoenix.
00:20He was encouraging Sami Zayn backstage.
00:22We just heard from Sami Zayn moments ago saying, go out there, Ray, and teach this guy a lesson.
00:28And this match is presented by Sonic's new $6 All-American Smasher meal.
00:32With three, eat Sonic.
00:35Yeah, you're right, Joe. So overtly at least, Ray Phoenix is out here defending the honor of Sami Zayn.
00:41And Trick has not held back with his verbal barbs after Zayn's disappointment at the Royal Rumble against Drew McIntyre.
00:48But let's not forget, Trick Williams' debut here on SmackDown several weeks ago back in Germany was against Ray Phoenix.
00:55With Trick winning that match with a quick roll-up and a major handful of tights.
01:01And I'll tell you right now, as a competitor, you don't forget that.
01:05There's a little extra fire in Ray Phoenix tonight to put that one right.
01:09And that was back on January 9th in Germany.
01:12Of course, that was the night that Drew McIntyre became the undisputed WWE Champion.
01:18And then coming up later tonight as we keep adding chapters to an incredible story this year with Cody Rhodes,
01:25the Men's Elimination Chamber.
01:27Here's the cover. Cody Rhodes, Jacob Fatu, and Sami Zayn.
01:33The qualifying match to see who gets to the Men's Elimination Chamber at the Triple Threat Main Event right here
01:39in Dallas tonight.
01:40And the Rhodes do meet at Drew McIntyre in the WWE Championship with CM Punk and Roman Reigns on a
01:46collision course, of course.
01:47Oh, man. Drew McIntyre and CM Punk need to hold on to those championships all the way to WrestleMania.
01:54I'm sure they'll be laser-focused on doing exactly that.
01:58Would you look at Ray Phoenix as he bounces up to the top rope and then brings the missile dropkick.
02:05This guy's athleticism is beyond, Wade.
02:08Yeah, it's ludicrous movement. I'll tell you right now, Trick Williams has it all, as we've seen.
02:13He's a great mover in his own right, but even he can't match the kind of movement of Ray Phoenix.
02:18He was desperately carving out a path to greatness for himself here on SmackDown.
02:24Oh, man, oh, man. That trick kick can come out of nowhere.
02:29God, that was so perfectly executed. It almost hooked around the jaw of Ray Phoenix.
02:35And it's that easy for an athlete the caliber of Trick Williams.
02:40I hope we see that one again. That was perfect.
02:43Oh, here it is.
02:44My God, you will never see one better executed than that.
02:48You could have done that a hundred times in a training ring, and it wouldn't have looked that good.
02:52It's too easy for Trick Williams.
02:54And the size and the power and explosiveness at 6'5", over 250 pounds, the way he delivers.
03:02And that's the key. Guys the size of Trick Williams, and he is a true heavyweight, shouldn't be able to
03:08move as well as he does.
03:09That's the cheat code with Trick.
03:10Apart from all the other things like the charisma and the talking chops and all that stuff.
03:16And slams him right in the middle of the ring as he gathers himself after Phoenix went on the attack.
03:23Trick he two times. He is such a presence.
03:28Well, has he been on SmackDown now for what, six weeks?
03:30Yes.
03:30He's got more nicknames than anybody in the history of professional wrestling already.
03:35Yeah, Mr. Whoop, that Hollywood Trick, Trick Willie.
03:39Oh!
03:40It's all dark and handsome with a little pizzazz.
03:42There's plenty more where that came from, too.
03:43Oh, he's got eight abs, three chains, three cars, two feet.
03:48Oh!
03:49Still whammy!
03:50The jumping neck breaker to cap it.
03:56Got his neck, got his back. What is coming next?
03:59Get up!
04:00Get up!
04:01Get up!
04:02Get up!
04:02Trick Willie is showing you everything he has offensively here.
04:08Uh-huh.
04:08Uh-huh.
04:09Listen to him talk in the ring as well.
04:12Oh!
04:12Man!
04:14Heels overhead!
04:16Phoenix able to barely survive it.
04:20The back breaker, the neck breaker, Trick Willie.
04:24Oh!
04:40The last week, Trick Williams, I told you, interrupted Ray Phoenix backstage with Sami Zayn.
04:47Ray thought he was disrespectful.
04:50He said he's got a big mouth, and if he keeps talking, he's gonna kick his teeth out.
04:54Well, it's been all Trick Williams so far.
04:56Yeah, it's been interesting, uh, Sami Zayn and Ray Phoenix talking about Trick like he is just some rookie.
05:02Which, in time terms, he certainly is.
05:06He hasn't been around this business particularly long.
05:09However, the growth curve has been steep.
05:11Two-time NXT Champion.
05:13One-time TNA World Champion.
05:16Oh!
05:17Slamming his head down.
05:18Real number on someone as experienced as Ray Phoenix.
05:21A twenty-year vet.
05:24One!
05:24Making it look damn good while he does it.
05:26Good feeling, dog.
05:27Good feeling, dog.
05:29BLEASE!
05:30Gotta do this shit all day.
05:32This what y'all wanted, right?
05:34Hey, wait, this what you wanted, right?
05:36I wanted it.
05:36Ooh!
05:37This is that!
05:39You good?
05:40You can talk a little too much smack in this game, especially against top competitors like Ray Phoenix.
05:46that's exactly what was happening he was enjoying his work a little too much for a moment now back
05:52oh looking for a quick one right here cradle tell you right now joe taking that out of trick
05:58williams's game would be a huge error for trick it's part of how he psychs himself up
06:02just mutters those mantras to himself talks smack to everyone in sight
06:09that's how he builds confidence before and apparently during matches
06:15now pounding down with those right hands
06:29man how long till trick williams gets his own talk show here on smackdown i feel like i'm listening
06:34to his own talk show right here on smackdown we're going to be counting the weeks that's got to debut
06:38sooner or later it's non-stop he's a motor man but if you're getting the job done in the ring
06:53why not
06:54flex into the hook away cover and these are the interesting times for a personality like a trick
07:02williams when things stop going your way when the frustration starts to build can you hold it
07:07together or does the ego start to fray a little because if that happens ray phoenix will get his
07:13chance
07:24tell you right now talking all this smack and breathing at the same time deep into a match is a
07:29really really
07:30difficult arm
07:44the rising star trick williams has been in control against ray phoenix he's been screaming this is
07:49what you wanted right this is what you wanted meanwhile phoenix is trying to rally back
07:58chop after chop for phoenix
08:06going up against the big 250 pounder it's going to take a little more than that major power
08:11i mean he nearly hit the ceiling here at american airline center looking like he's charging up like
08:21bucket oh god a backhander it's like a pimp slap job yeah it's a trick slap as he likes to
08:27call it the trick
08:29and it connected right to the temple of poor ray phoenix knuckles first he's been yelling over
08:36to us to the entire crowd i could do this all day long oh great spinning kick from ray phoenix
08:41that's
08:42where you call her a seat right to the jaw spinning back heel trick willie all six foot five have
08:48been
08:48dropped and now perhaps phoenix gets that little opportunity to get some blood back to the brain
08:55some oxygen in the lungs amount of comeback never doubt the fight in a veteran like ray phoenix he's
09:04been on the other side of it for most of this match but he is looking to dig deep here
09:09in dallas
09:11blistering first year in wwe for ray phoenix but he's being put to a real test tonight
09:16by trick willie he has found something the spinning animal kick you see that rhythm starting to take
09:23over for ray phoenix who looks fully refreshed oh he misses adios amigos didn't get all of it
09:29but still into the cover well trick willie smartly tried to duck out of the way but still
09:35catching just enough on the back of the head was ray phoenix it doesn't take much
09:40you get the back of the head now trick williams is down it's like a rabbit punch in boxing almost
09:45but with the boom even more devastating and now phoenix can pull this away how quickly things can turn
09:54phoenix highest of cross bodies right back into it the speed of getting back up there joe how quickly did
10:02he get into that splash to win it right here oh late late kick out late kick out ray phoenix
10:10is within
10:10a whisker of putting this one away and is part of the reason why little eddie guerrero for you
10:21have you ever seen anybody who has gone from that cross body instantly into the frog splash faster than ray
10:28phoenix i mean that really is his special source isn't it that movement that ability to climb the
10:34turnbuckles faster than anyone especially this deep in a match how many times have you seen guys
10:39gingerly climbing not this guy though oh off the top rope to the floor right down the throat at the
10:49lemon pepper stepper twain williams who has no clue where he's at right now what an unbelievable shot
10:55he got of it too ray phoenix flying through the air here in dallas ray phoenix can barely stand up
11:02yet he can bounce up to the top turnbuckle in the blink of an eye
11:07just innate skills of ray phoenix but now both men dragging both men struggling for oxygen
11:16trick williams oh williams trying to get him up on his shoulders here williams up on the second rope
11:20with ray phoenix up on his shoulders this is where power is taken over but this really is the realm
11:25the
11:25turnbuckles of the luchador himself ray phoenix who has other ideas and it's all about balance now
11:32on top of the post ray phoenix double stop
11:44oh that fire stop nearly put it away god right to the traps the back of the neck the back
11:50of the
11:50head of trick williams but trick williams showing major durability for the look of this straight down
11:57the throat dive onto trick williams followed up by this what a stunning impact that had
12:05on the shoulders of trick williams and once again already on the top rope oh he was going for
12:09the moonsault really his freakish ability here from ray phoenix oh what a trick shot with all that
12:16momentum off the ropes he turned him inside out here is your winner
12:33the big powerful trick shot just when ray phoenix was revving the engine created more damage watch this
12:43impact boom right to the kisser and the whoop that era truly has landed i'll tell you right now
12:50trick williams pulling that out of the fire when it looked like he was toast is perhaps even more
12:57impressive than a dominant victory you can beat trick williams but he still has ways to put you down
