00:00:01Yes, sir, we promised you a great man right here.
00:00:04The last year, Andre.
00:00:06The child is a mania.
00:00:07Volkomania is running wild.
00:00:09My God, what a man.
00:00:14It's not a world that's watching.
00:00:23We are 48 hours away, two days from no way out.
00:00:28Welcome to Seattle, Washington.
00:00:30And fighting up SmackDown, Michael Cole and Jamie out of ringside.
00:00:33And, John, this is a special edition.
00:00:36Two huge main events tonight.
00:00:38John Cena and Shawn Michaels, two of the greatest champions of all time
00:00:43against the young breed, MVP and Mr. Kennedy.
00:00:46And also tonight, opponents in WrestleMania.
00:00:49Teammates tonight and at No Way Out, the world champion, Batista,
00:00:54the number one contender, The Undertaker, take on Rated RKO from Raw.
00:01:00It's tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:01:31I'm the Boogeyman.
00:01:39The Boogeyman.
00:01:43The following contest is scheduled for one fall, making its way to the rank from the bottomless
00:01:48pin, weighing in at 265 pounds, The Boogeyman.
00:01:54The Boogeyman hasn't been in a pleasant mood, John.
00:01:56Last week, right here on Friday Night SmackDown, he suffered his first loss.
00:02:01And he's about to suffer another one, Michael.
00:02:04The guy who loves to fight doesn't care if you're hot under the bed, doesn't care if you're the Boogeyman.
00:02:10And Finley, lying in wait, attacking Boogeyman as we get things started here on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:02:18The fighting Irishman, wasting little time, driving the Boogeyman into the steel steps.
00:02:24Finley figured out what I did not figure out, what Booker T, the King, did not figure out.
00:02:29And that was a way to get the Boogeyman.
00:02:31Yeah, last week, Little Bastard, Finley's Little Leprechaun.
00:02:34I had to watch your language.
00:02:36He's got parents, okay?
00:02:37Who lives under the leg.
00:02:38What are they, parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bastard?
00:02:40Little Bastard tried to steal these.
00:02:42He's a leprechaun, Michael.
00:02:44Tried to steal Boogeyman's worms as this matchup officially gets underway.
00:02:48And off that distraction, Finley used a shillelagh to the back of the knee to pin Boogeyman here last week.
00:02:55Do you have a problem with that?
00:02:56Well, not at all.
00:02:57And you know, set up for No Way Out, Boogeyman and Finley, one-on-one.
00:03:02Little preview of him here tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:03:06And look at Finley hammering away on Boogeyman.
00:03:08I mean, how do you combat Boogeyman?
00:03:11I never figured it out.
00:03:13I didn't.
00:03:14I was champion longer than anybody in the WWE in SmackDown history, and I never figured it out.
00:03:20Well, maybe Finley-
00:03:21King Booker didn't figure it out.
00:03:23Maybe Finley has the right recipe, so to speak.
00:03:26You have Finley in here, you think has the edge because of experience, but you have the completely unorthodox Boogeyman.
00:03:32I love that Boogeyman!
00:03:33Throw all that out the window.
00:03:35Finley continues the pressure on the Boogeyman as we kick off what, well, John said earlier on, is going to
00:03:41be a strange night.
00:03:43A very special night, a special edition of Friday Night SmackDown, two nights away from perhaps the biggest tag team
00:03:51main event in SmackDown history at No Way Out.
00:03:54Perhaps, there's no doubt about it, Michael.
00:03:56You've got both world champions.
00:03:58You've got the tag team champions.
00:04:00All four of them, world champions or previous world champions, going to be in one ring Sunday at the Staples
00:04:06Center at No Way Out.
00:04:07And Boogeyman trying to get back to his feet, Finley with that knee right to the midsection.
00:04:11It seems to have the puzzle of the Boogeyman solved, at least for the past couple of weeks.
00:04:16Boogey whipped into the corner, there's a big boot to the face of the Fighting Irishman, and Finley follows it
00:04:20up with a clothesline.
00:04:22Not only that, Michael, you remember on ECW, Teddy Long invited Bobby Lashley to be here tonight.
00:04:27Yes, and here, and look at this, kicked out by the Boogeyman.
00:04:31Happened this past Tuesday night, ECW on SyFy, and it was Teddy Long, the general manager of SmackDown, who really,
00:04:38well, Lashley thanked Teddy Long for really helping his career here.
00:04:41Remember, Lashley started right here on SmackDown.
00:04:44In fact, won his first championship from you right here on SmackDown, the United States title.
00:04:49I don't think that's important you bring that up.
00:04:50And Finley sent through the second rope to the floor below, and look at the look on the face of
00:04:56this, this really weird dude, the Boogeyman.
00:04:59Weird dude, that's how you characterize a guy with red paint all over his face, that has worms in his
00:05:05pockets.
00:05:06How the hell would you characterize him?
00:05:07A nut, he's a freaking lunatic.
00:05:11Inverted atomic drop, Boogeyman, thrust to the throat of Finley, very unorthodox style, to say the least.
00:05:20All these gyrations, Boogeyman goes through the ring.
00:05:25Nobody home, Finley steps out of the way, went for the clothesline, and just caught Boogeyman to the back of
00:05:31the head.
00:05:33Michael, it tells you something about SmackDown, when you have all three promotions, your biggest stars.
00:05:39Here's the cover and a kick-out.
00:05:40All wanting to be here.
00:05:43I've driven the rating so high, Michael, everybody wants to hop on my bandwagon.
00:05:47You?
00:05:47Yes.
00:05:48Hey, look at this, Finley.
00:05:51Unorthodox style as well.
00:05:52Next, you're gonna start thanking people.
00:05:54I guess you're gonna start taking credit for selling out the Staples Center for No Way Out Sunday night, Los
00:05:58Angeles.
00:05:59I sold it out with Eddie Guerrero, I sold it at WrestleMania, and now I've sold it out as an
00:06:03announcer.
00:06:03Hell yeah, I'll take credit.
00:06:04Finley trying to take that protective covering off that steel turnbuckle, and as the referee goes back to the turnbuckle,
00:06:10Finley grabs the shillelagh.
00:06:12Hey, look at it, little bastard.
00:06:13He's a love of God, here he comes.
00:06:15With a second shillelagh in hand, and the little bastard going out for the boogeyman.
00:06:20Hey, wait a minute.
00:06:21What the hell?
00:06:21What the hell is that?
00:06:24You gotta be kidding me.
00:06:28What, that's a little boogeyman, where the hell did he come from?
00:06:32How many people are up in the ring?
00:06:36Little boogeyman.
00:06:38Finley, Finley looks like Gulliver.
00:06:40Finley looks like he's seen a ghost and still his little bastard.
00:06:43And there's boogeyman with that stat to the gut, here's the cover, and boogeyman pulls one out of Finley's payback
00:06:52tonight for the boogeyman.
00:06:54Here's the winner of boogeyman.
00:06:58I'm seeing double.
00:07:01You're seeing one and a half.
00:07:03What the hell just happened?
00:07:05Little bastard told me this didn't just happen.
00:07:09Somebody make some sense of this, please.
00:07:11This is the damnedest thing I've ever seen in my, my God.
00:07:14And he swarms two.
00:07:16No, no, come on.
00:07:17And he swarms two, little boogeyman.
00:07:21Little boogeyman, what the hell are you talking about, little boogeyman?
00:07:24How would you describe the guy?
00:07:28We gotta see this again to believe it.
00:07:31And I don't even know if this replay is gonna do it justice.
00:07:36What in the hell?
00:07:37Look at the face of little bastard.
00:07:39He's not a little bastard.
00:07:43Meantime, a little bit of a payback for last week.
00:07:47Referee never saw it.
00:07:48Referee Chris Kelly is shocked as all.
00:07:51As everybody else, and boogeyman picks up the victory.
00:07:54We're here tonight.
00:07:55What the hell was that?
00:07:57Well, ladies and gentlemen, last night on Raw, in a huge eight man tag team match,
00:08:02things exploded between No Way Out combatants, the team of Batiste and The Undertaker,
00:08:08and Sean Steena and Shawn Michaels.
00:08:10Later on tonight, we will show you what happened on Raw,
00:08:12and who knows what's gonna happen.
00:08:14These two teams are in action in separate matches tonight.
00:08:18Of all of the sexy women that have graced the cover of Playboy from Marilyn Monroe
00:08:22to this month's girl, the sexiest of them all.
00:08:26Our own Ashley is gonna reveal the cover tonight.
00:08:35Donald Trump live and in person here on WWE Raw.
00:08:42This is a historic moment.
00:08:45Donald Trump in the ring with Mr. McMahon.
00:08:49Look at that sight.
00:08:51First of all, I don't appreciate the fact that you stole my catchphrase,
00:08:55you're fired.
00:08:57I don't appreciate the fact that you thought my little stunt with the rosy caricature
00:09:01and so forth was lame.
00:09:03The one thing, however, that I do not appreciate at all,
00:09:08on McMahon Appreciation Night, you dropped thousands of dollars on top of the audience.
00:09:15Let me put it very simply, Vince.
00:09:18I'm here to challenge you to a match in WrestleMania.
00:09:24What?
00:09:25You're gonna challenge me to a match at WrestleMania?
00:09:28I will kick your ass.
00:09:32The answer...
00:09:33The answer's no.
00:09:39I appreciate your proposal, but I think I have a counter-proposal.
00:09:44Why don't I find a hand-picked competitor to represent me?
00:09:50You find someone to represent you.
00:09:53I'll be in my guy's corner.
00:09:55You'll be in his.
00:09:57What do you say?
00:09:58Put her there.
00:10:01I have another idea.
00:10:03You pick a representative, I'll pick a representative.
00:10:07If you lose, I get to shave your head.
00:10:13If I lose, you get to shave my head.
00:10:18I still think you've got something up your sleeve, Mr. Trump, but you know what?
00:10:24The match is off!
00:10:27Two of the biggest deal-makers on this planet have just made a deal!
00:10:33The Battle of the Billionaires in their hair on April 1st!
00:10:44I still cannot believe what I heard last night on Raw.
00:10:48I mean, you go to the same barber as Mr. Marver.
00:10:49I go to the same barber.
00:10:50I know Mitch McMahon's hair drill and how great it actually is.
00:10:53People say we actually look alike.
00:10:55Oh, please.
00:10:55And you know what?
00:10:56It's P.T. Barnum versus John Rockefeller.
00:10:59Billionaire versus Billionaire.
00:11:01Two biggest egos.
00:11:02Two biggest hairdos of all time.
00:11:04Wrestlemania.
00:11:05Can you believe it?
00:11:06One of the billionaires is gonna have his head shaved.
00:11:09That, Michael, is a Wrestlemania moment.
00:11:13People are gonna talk about this as long as they talk about Wrestlemania.
00:11:19The only contested schedule.
00:11:22One fall.
00:11:23Thinking his way to the right from the other side of the track.
00:11:26He's weighing in at 230 pounds.
00:11:29Deuce!
00:11:31Well, Deuce and Domino went over SmackDown!
00:11:34general manager teddy long's head earlier in the week they demanded a tag team title match at no way
00:11:40out and the wwe board of executives agreed so since deuce and domino now own two non-title
00:11:47victories over the champions they're going to get a chance with the gold on the line
00:11:50to take the titles in two nights at no way out
00:11:58it was the domino with an opportunity to take the tag team goal sunday but you know what they can
00:12:03do
00:12:03it i absolutely believe they can do it they've had four matches here on smackdown they have beaten the
00:12:09tag team champions twice well now they have but they haven't done a tag team title match yet john
00:12:14and what's going to be interesting come sunday is the fact that they're going to be in a pay-per
00:12:19-view
00:12:19on the big stage for the very first time in their career and how are they going to react
00:12:24how are they going to react to the fact that the tag team titles are on the line sunday and
00:12:29no way out
00:12:32deuce in one-on-one action tonight trying to keep the momentum rowing against one half of the tag champs
00:12:38from olympia washington weighing in at 181 pounds here's one half of the tag team champions
00:12:47brian kendrick so brian kendrick with an opportunity here tonight john is sort of a
00:12:53most powerful momentum that deuce and domino have created over the past couple of weeks
00:12:58michael they have deuce and domino have not only dominated the tag team champions they have beaten
00:13:03them in the middle of the ring two weeks in a row so that is deuce see cherry on the
00:13:12roller skates
00:13:13outside the ring deuce is a girlfriend and domino is jerry's brother brian kendrick tell you one thing
00:13:20about kendrick in london they're not going to back down from teams that are tougher rougher and bigger
00:13:25than them and kendrick coming right back into

00:14:12ryan
00:14:12kendrick and paul london won the tag team titles last may at judgment day held them for just about nine
00:14:18months now and deuce and domino with those two nine title victories what are going through the minds
00:14:23right now john of the tag team champions they've got to be thinking whether they compete with this
00:14:29other team or not there are times mama when you get i've never had this happen to me when you're

00:24:28Well, I am proud to say that John Cena got his start right here on SmackDown.
00:24:37I'm not proud to say that.
00:24:39Say what the hell you wanna say.
00:24:48Well, tonight, Friday Night SmackDown is sponsored by the AutoCart experts at AutoZone.
00:24:54Get in the zone, AutoZone.
00:24:56And by Bullflex, and by McDonald's, and I am loving it.
00:25:02I'm loving this.
00:25:03I'm loving the world tag team champions here on SmackDown in action tonight.
00:25:09These two guys got more bling than a rapper's convention.
00:25:14And what a matchup we have coming in two days, Michael.
00:25:17Look at this team right here.
00:25:19You got Shawn Michaels, the showstopper.
00:25:22My first WrestleMania is when he repealed from the season against Bret Hart with
00:25:27the young lad Cena.
00:25:28And with the young lad Cena.
00:25:28One day which comes in, wearing the 235 pounds, Mr. Kennedy.
00:25:37Mr. Kennedy staring at his opponents here tonight.
00:25:49One, two, you hear the clock ticking, tick, tick, tick.
00:25:53You about to stop living, tick, tick, tick.
00:25:55I want you to remember me, tick, tick.
00:25:58But the day don't have no memory, I'm coming.
00:26:01Nobody can stop me, nobody can hold me, nobody can hold me.
00:26:04Shawn Cena, Shawn Michaels may be the world tag team champions, but they don't have a hell of a
00:26:09lot of experience teaming with one another.
00:26:11Kennedy and MVP have teamed together in the past.
00:26:16And look at what we have here, Michael.
00:26:19On town by champion Porter, MVP.
00:26:25You got two guys, Michaels, HBK, and Cena, headline WrestleMania before.
00:26:30And you've got Kennedy, MVP, guys who are going to headline WrestleMania.
00:26:35I am not so sure that if Michaels and Cena want to make a statement tonight on
00:26:41SmackDown, they probably should have picked somebody different than these two young
00:26:45studs.
00:26:46Well, this is the first of two interpromotional main events here tonight on
00:26:49Friday Night SmackDown.
00:26:50Mr. Kennedy, an MVP from SmackDown to take on those two men.
00:26:55John Cena, Shawn Michaels from Raw, opponents at WrestleMania, teammates here tonight,
00:26:59and also Sunday at No Way Out.
00:27:02Now remember, what Shawn Michaels told John Cena just a few moments ago, John,
00:27:05I will have your back, but it'll be a different story at WrestleMania.
00:27:11Shawn Michaels wants John Cena at WrestleMania.
00:27:14Bottom line, Michaels believes in his heart.
00:27:17He has another title run in him, and so do I.
00:27:21And Mr.
00:27:22Kennedy backing Shawn Michaels into the corner.
00:27:24Referee Charles Robinson trying to get a clean break, and he does.
00:27:26And there's that cocky, that arrogant attitude of Mr. Kennedy.
00:27:31Some call it disrespect, especially toward a man like Shawn Michaels as the HBK
00:27:36chants begin.
00:27:37Who cares about respect?
00:27:39It's about wins, it's about losses.
00:27:41Kennedy has defeated six world champions.
00:27:43You have two in there right now, Michaels and Cena that he hasn't defeated.
00:27:47He could add to his streak tonight.
00:27:50And Mr. Kennedy, Shawn Michaels working behind Mr. Kennedy.
00:27:56Actually, you could even, as you see Shawn Michaels in all kinds of trouble here.
00:28:01Shawn Michaels and John Cena, No Way Out Sunday against Batista and The Undertaker.
00:28:06Many people call the Royal Rumble, John, the start of the road to WrestleMania.
00:28:11Well, there's going to be a hell of a crash on that road at No Way Out Sunday.
00:28:16Shawn Michaels, the side headlock on Kennedy.
00:28:18It's like corner two of the Daytona.
00:28:20A lot of people hit the wall, a lot of people crash.
00:28:23We are going to have a blow up and a four car pile up at the Staples Center in just
00:28:28two days.
00:28:29And you have to believe, John, that somewhere here in the key arena in Seattle tonight,
00:28:34The Undertaker and Batista are watching this match carefully.
00:28:38Boy, did The Undertaker and Batista ever send a message to Cena and Shawn Michaels just
00:28:43last night on Raw.
00:28:44Undertaker with the thunderous chokeslam and Shawn Michaels, Batista with the Batista bomb
00:28:50to John Cena.
00:28:51They're tearing him off like cornwood last night on Raw.
00:28:55And the question here, Michael, Shawn Michaels, one of the greatest of all time,
00:29:01but a narcissist, an egomaniate, just like this guy, John Cena.
00:29:07Both of them, egomaniacal human beings.
00:29:10Can they coexist?
00:29:12You're crazy.
00:29:13John Cena with a hip toss to Kennedy, the WWE Champion John Cena taking it to a man that
00:29:18worked maybe one day be champion.
00:29:20He, Kennedy, hook of the leg, kick out by Mr. Kennedy.
00:29:24John Cena, Shawn Michaels looks very confident here tonight.
00:29:28And it was the Staples Center, and when Cena first won that WWE Championship.
00:29:33John, and of course, you know who he beat?
00:29:35You.
00:29:35And look at John Cena continues the assault on Kennedy.
00:29:39That was at WrestleMania, perhaps the defining moment of John Cena's career a couple of years ago.
00:29:44And look at this, nobody home.
00:29:46And Kennedy follows it up with a clothesline.
00:29:49And a tag made to MVP, and Montel Montavious Porter, who has really been through the ringer,
00:29:56and survived over the past couple of months here on SmackDown.
00:29:59He's been in cage matches, Inferno matches, street fights.
00:30:03Here's the cover of the WWE Champion, and a kick out.
00:30:06He smells like smoke, but he's been through fire, Michael.
00:30:09The gentrification of MVP this year has been utterly amazing.
00:30:15MVP and Mr. Kennedy, hoping, I guess, to wear Cena and Shawn Michaels down,
00:30:20at least in the name of SmackDown, as we head for that big interpromotional match.
00:30:24No, hell no, they wanna make a damn statement.
00:30:26That's what they wanna do.
00:30:27This whole thing's about these two egomaniacs, Shawn Michaels and John Cena.
00:30:30You come on now, John.
00:30:32You're leaving two guys out who are gonna hit WrestleMania, Kennedy and MVP.
00:30:37Tag made by Shawn Michaels.
00:30:39You wanna talk about egomaniacs, what about Mr. Kennedy?
00:30:41What about MVP?
00:30:42Two of the cockiest young men you're ever gonna meet.
00:30:45And there's the kick up by Shawn Michaels.
00:30:47And who will ever forget that Shawn Michaels pulling that off in the Royal Rumble match
00:30:51last month in San Antonio, when it came down to Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.
00:30:56The last two men standing in one of the most historic Rumble matches of all time.
00:31:01It was truly a moment in time, Michael, that you will tell your kids about.
00:31:04It was absolutely history that we will watch.
00:31:07And Shawn Michaels going up to the top rope.
00:31:09Mr. Kennedy in trouble.
00:31:11Shawn Michaels, the pin.
00:31:13The pin is over.
00:31:13Drops it in the heart of Mr. Kennedy.
00:31:15And the heartbreak pin is fired up tonight.
00:31:17And don't forget Shawn Michaels' first big WrestleMania moment.
00:31:20That moment in 60-minute match with Bret Hart occurred just down the road from
00:31:24the Staples Center in Anaheim.
00:31:26And Shawn Michaels tuning up the band.
00:31:28MVP ran into a right hand from the champion.
00:31:32And Michaels and Cena working together like a well-oiled machine tonight.
00:31:37Mr. Kennedy wants nothing to do with a kick from Shawn Michaels.
00:31:42The heartbreak kid and Cena are rolling.
00:31:46Can they continue dominating Kennedy and MVP when we return to Seattle?
00:31:55We are back on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:31:58Shawn Michaels and John Cena, the World Tag Team Champions from Raw,
00:32:02against SmackDown's Kennedy and MVP.
00:32:04The first of two huge interpromotional main events here tonight.
00:32:08Just two nights away from No Way Out.
00:32:11Shawn Michaels is peaking on the road to WrestleMania.
00:32:14He knows what it's like to go there.
00:32:15He knows what it's like to main event the big dance.
00:32:18But he's got a car crash waiting for him to Staples Center in just two nights.
00:32:23Tag made to John Cena.
00:32:24Michaels and Cena working well together as a team here tonight.
00:32:27But let's not forget what happened to this team as Cena goes into the cover.
00:32:31Hook of the leg, and Kennedy kicks out at two.
00:32:33Let's not forget what happened to the team of Cena and Michaels last night, John.
00:32:38Just 24 hours ago on Raw, when Undertaker and Batista made a statement
00:32:43against their No Way Out opponents.
00:32:44And let's not forget they're both egomaniacs.
00:32:48Cena and HBK.
00:32:50Cover again, hook to the leg.
00:32:51He's got to go kick out at two.
00:32:52They're both vying for the number one guy.
00:32:55HBK has been for so many years.
00:32:57Cena comes along.
00:32:58He's wanting to take it from HBK.
00:33:02HBK doesn't want to pass the torch.
00:33:04That's what WrestleMania is all about.
00:33:06That's what we're gonna find out in two nights, Michael.
00:33:08If these two egomaniacs can get along.
00:33:11They're getting along pretty well here tonight.
00:33:13John Cena, the W.
00:33:14When the going's good, Michael, everybody gets along.
00:33:17Kennedy with the right hand to Shawn Michaels, the man who will headline his
00:33:20fifth WrestleMania April 1st at Ford Field in Detroit.
00:33:25Kennedy drops the elbow to Shawn Michaels, and here's the tag to MVP.
00:33:29You made a really good point earlier on, John.
00:33:31Well, hell yes, I do.
00:33:32Like Penny Michaels or Cena tonight.
00:33:34MVP and Kennedy would really make an A for themselves.
00:33:38They're all overlooking these guys.
00:33:39What Teddy Long has done his entire tenure here.
00:33:42They've overlooked these two young stallions, MVP and Mr. Kennedy.
00:33:46It's all about Michael, all about Cena.
00:33:49Fine, they're terrific performers, but who gives a rat's ass about them?
00:33:53These are our guys, Mr. Kennedy and MVP.
00:33:57While the SmackDown fans are calling MVP your hero, a Power Ranger.
00:34:03Shawn Michaels almost ran into the referee, and MVP almost hit the referee.
00:34:07Look at Kennedy drawing the ropes, and Michaels outside the ring.
00:34:14And now Mr. Kennedy outside the ring with a wicked clothesline, right here in front of us.
00:34:20And that's the aggressiveness of this young stallion, as you like to call him, Mr. Kennedy.
00:34:24That's the amelioration process of Mr. Kennedy.
00:34:29These two guys, both of them.
00:34:31Here's the cover by MVP, forearm in the face, and a kickdown.
00:34:34And what kind of upset is this gonna be, if Kennedy and MVP defeat HBK and Cena tonight?
00:34:41It would be a major upset, HBK and Cena, the World Tag Team Champions.
00:34:44Look at him, look at him, he's feeling it, MVP is in his element.
00:34:48Non-title matchup, and a big one nonetheless for MVP and Kennedy.
00:34:52But this is what MVP's gotta be careful of, enough for the showboating already.
00:34:58It's like Jarrell Owens.
00:35:00You don't want him to showboat in the end zone, don't let him score.
00:35:03Well, MVP taking it to Shawn Michaels, cover again, forearm in the face again,
00:35:07and a kick out by HBK.
00:35:09Again, a cover by MVP, and again, a kick out by Shawn.
00:35:13And MVP now with the right hands.
00:35:16MVP is on one of the greatest wrestling shows of all time, that's SmackDown.
00:35:20And he's got one of the greatest stars of all time now, HBK.
00:35:24If that ain't worth showboating, nothing is.
00:35:26Tag naked, Kennedy, Kennedy into the ring now.
00:35:28Look at John Cena.
00:35:29Look at the way John Cena is pacing, moving like an animal.
00:35:32On the apron of the ring, trying to get Shawn Michaels into this matchup.
00:35:36That's what teammates are all about.
00:35:38So much fear theory that they're not gonna get along.
00:35:42Can the HBK chants begin again from the SmackDown fans?
00:35:48No, no, no.
00:35:49What Cena's ranting forward, back and forth about, is the fact that fans are chanting
00:35:53HBK.
00:35:54That egomaniac wants him chanting his name.
00:35:56These two guys can't get along, I'm telling you right now.
00:35:59What match are you watching?
00:36:00The same one you're watching.
00:36:02Kennedy with a big boom to the gut.
00:36:04And there's Cena.
00:36:05He was just shouting words of encouragement to his teammate Shawn Michaels.
00:36:10Why don't you talk about the guys that are winning right now, Michael?
00:36:13Why don't you talk about Mr. Kennedy?
00:36:16Talk about MVP.
00:36:18I was talking about him.
00:36:19Instead of your little drinking buddies, Cena and HBK.
00:36:24What are you talking about?
00:36:25They're your favorite, three idols.
00:36:27So you talk about them.
00:36:28Call the match right down the middle.
00:36:30Here's the cover by Kennedy.
00:36:31Shoulders are down and a kick out by Shawn.
00:36:34You're the one that's having delusional perspective of what's going on outside
00:36:38the ring with John Cena.
00:36:39And here's the tag made to MVP.
00:36:42And Montel Montavious Porter into the ring with the right hands to the ribs of Shawn Michaels.
00:36:46You wonder if Michaels and HBK are feeling a little effects from last night.
00:36:50They were decimated by The Undertaker and Batista.
00:36:53And Kennedy, wise move with the referee's back turned.
00:36:57Shawn trying to battle back.
00:36:58And I don't think there's any doubt, John, that Shawn and Cena all feel the effects of
00:37:02last night's attack by Batista and Undertaker.
00:37:05And what a boot by MVP.
00:37:07That's how you make a statement.
00:37:08You kick a guy in the mouth.
00:37:11MVP trash talking, forearm to the face, kicked out by Shawn.
00:37:15Here's again the cover.
00:37:16Hook and going again, and Michaels kicks out at two and a half.
00:37:19MVP and Kennedy have been overlooked.
00:37:21Damn it, they've been overlooked their entire career here.
00:37:23They're choosing tonight to make a statement.
00:37:26They are doing that.
00:37:27I'll give you that much.
00:37:28Kennedy MVP extremely impressive in this matchup against the world tag team champion.
00:37:32Off the snap there, Kennedy trying to wear Shawn Michaels down.
00:37:36He is wearing it down.
00:37:37He's laying on it.
00:37:38Come on.
00:37:39Listen to see him.
00:37:40Come on up.
00:37:41Aaron, come on.
00:37:43Come on up.
00:37:46You can feel the electricity tonight on a historic Friday Night SmackDown.
00:37:51A very special edition, just two nights away from no way out in Los Angeles.
00:37:58Shawn Michaels, the gallant veteran.
00:38:02Shawn is game tonight, back to his feet, but needs to make a tag to John Cena.
00:38:09Shawn's always game.
00:38:10Shawn is flying around the night, like it was 1996.
00:38:14The guy is better than he's ever been in his entire career.
00:38:20Kennedy, uh-oh, Shawn in trouble.
00:38:22Mr. Kennedy center of the ring.
00:38:24There's that role.
00:38:25He rehearsed that time by, I should say, Samoan Drop by Mr. Kennedy.
00:38:29Who's gonna go to the top off and perhaps set up Shawn Michaels for the kick time.
00:38:33Nobody home.
00:38:37The roof is gonna blow off this place, Michael,
00:38:40if Shawn Michaels could make it to John Cena.
00:38:43And if he does get ready, cuz all hell's about to break loose.
00:38:47Stop it, Mr. Kennedy, stop it.
00:38:50Just stop and listen.
00:39:02Here comes Cena.
00:39:05John Cena exploding off the tag, taking out Kennedy, taking out MVP.
00:39:11The WWE Champion, well rested, is rolling.
00:39:19They better find a way to stop Cena.
00:39:22Kennedy over the top rope.
00:39:33Latissa and Undertaker are watching, and Cena is trying to send the message.
00:39:41Talk about somebody hotdogging, there's your egomaniac.
00:39:46One knuckle shuffle.
00:39:50John Cena measuring MVP.
00:39:53Look at it, look at it, from behind, Kennedy with a steel chair.
00:39:56And Shawn Michaels speaking the music.
00:40:04Here's the cover.
00:40:06Shawn Michaels said he would have John Cena's back, and by God, he did tonight.
00:40:12Here are the winners, Shawn Michaels and John Cena.
00:40:21I hate to say this, Shawn, but I'll tell you what, if Shawn Cena and Shawn Michaels co-exist like
00:40:28this on Sunday,
00:40:30but takes an Undertaker, they could be in some trouble.
00:40:35That's what we're gonna find out in the Staples Center, Michael.
00:40:38That's why I'm telling you, it may be the road to WrestleMania, but we're about to see a car crash
00:40:44and no way out.
00:40:45And John Cena, a little nod of respect.
00:40:49Shawn Michaels kept his word.
00:40:50Earlier tonight, he said he'd have John Cena's back, and he didn't.
00:40:55Kennedy with a steel chair, was looking to ambush Cena.
00:40:58And Shawn Michaels with a little sweet chin music, followed up by the chin.
00:41:03And Cena and Shawn Michaels make up both tonight, on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:41:09It's the French I'm going to shine now, now.
00:41:12You can't see me if I'm talking now.
00:41:15It's going to be what it's going to be.
00:41:17Five pounds, I'm coming from these ten hands with a gold team.
00:41:21Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:41:23Yeah, all right, all right, all right.
00:41:25You know what?
00:41:25What?
00:41:26I just think you need to go and practice just a little bit more, and I'll get back with you.
00:41:30You're absolutely right, okay?
00:41:31All right.
00:41:32Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:41:34She has no talent, and it doesn't matter what she sings, because I'm winning the talent contest.
00:41:39And speaking of talent, I have a hidden talent that I want to show you.
00:42:27Welcome to a very special edition of Friday Night SmackDown, because we are two nights
00:42:31away from No Way Out, the final stop on the road to No Way Out here in Seattle.
00:42:36And ladies and gentlemen, last night on Raw, we learned the first inductee into the class of 2007
00:42:44WWE Hall of Fame.
00:43:02A band who has figuratively set the wrestling world on fire, Mr. Soul, Mr. Charisma, Mr. Dusty Rose.
00:43:17It was like something instantly hit the people.
00:43:20And the rule of the crowd now is for the American dream.
00:43:24They love Dusty Rose because he was one of the people.
00:43:28When I was growing up, I sure didn't think 265 pounds of blue-eyed soul would captivate
00:43:33a country like a hell.
00:43:35That was my deal with the fans.
00:43:37If I was winning, they were winning.
00:43:39Dusty Rose is going to be the new Hall of Fame champion, the American dream, Dusty Rose.
00:43:52Dusty Rose was one of the greatest performers in the history of our business.
00:43:57The greatest sports attraction in the world today.
00:44:00The little plumber's son who come out of the ditch at eight years old and became so sweet.
00:44:06He was the blue-collar man.
00:44:08I think that's what made him connect with people so much.
00:44:11I am the hit maker, the record breaker.
00:44:14I have wined and dined with kings and queens, and I've slept in alleys and dined on pork and beans.
00:44:19He just oozed charisma.
00:44:22This Broadway, this is the Super Bowl.
00:44:24Get a dream, hold on to it, and shoot for the sky.
00:44:28I knew there was an American dream out there somewhere, and I was going to go out and get it.
00:44:32Congratulations to him.
00:44:33He has a career that most of us only dream about.
00:44:43Congratulations to the American dream, Dusty Rhodes.
00:44:46I'd hate to pay for catering at the Hall of Fame, but the son of a plumber, Dusty Rhodes.
00:44:50It is what it is, brother, if you will.
00:44:52And the WWE Hall of Fame really has become a part of a staple of WrestleMania weekend,
00:44:57the night before WrestleMania this year.
00:45:00We've come to you from the historic Fox Theater right there in Detroit, the home of WrestleMania.
00:45:08Looking forward to seeing you this second.
00:45:20Come in.
00:45:22What's up, Mr. Long?
00:45:23Bobby Lashley.
00:45:24How you doing?
00:45:25All right, man.
00:45:25Glad to have you back here on SmackDown.
00:45:27I love you guys.
00:45:28Glad you're back there.
00:45:31A little warm in here, buddy.
00:45:33Teddy, did you just see what happened out there?
00:45:35Did you see what happened out there?
00:45:37What are you whining on about that?
00:45:37Did you see what happened out there?
00:45:38Thanks a lot.
00:45:39Thanks again.
00:45:40In case you weren't wondering, in case you were wondering, I happen to be a tag team,
00:45:45not a tag team competitor.
00:45:46I happen to be a singles competitor.
00:45:47You've been in tag team matches before.
00:45:49Everybody there is on SmackDown.
00:45:51I even beat you when you were on SmackDown.
00:45:53That's right, you.
00:45:54And you know what?
00:45:58I think I'll beat you again for your ECW World Heavyweight Championship.
00:46:05Yeah, I'll beat you again.
00:46:06I'll beat you again.
00:46:07You know something, Teddy?
00:46:08I think it's kind of ridiculous that the future of sports entertainment
00:46:12isn't even competing this Sunday.
00:46:14Don't you think that's a little bit ridiculous, huh, Teddy?
00:46:17Tell you what.
00:46:18You know what?
00:46:19No, I'll tell you what.
00:46:21Mr. Kennedy, Bobby Lashley for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship.
00:46:27Make it happen.
00:46:28Tell you what.
00:46:29I'll talk to the ECW officials, and I'll see what I can do.
00:46:40Make it happen.
00:46:43Whoa, GM Long, get on the phone.
00:46:45Get on the phone.
00:46:46Make it happen for Sunday.
00:46:48Can you imagine if that match is happening in the card?
00:46:50What a lineup we're gonna have at the Staples Center in two days.
00:46:54What a lineup we have right now.
00:46:57My God, smoke again.
00:47:00Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome SmackDown Diva, and
00:47:04soon to be Playboy Covergirl, Ashley.
00:47:09WWE has the sexiest women on television, and I'll tell you,
00:47:13we have the sexiest right here on SmackDown.
00:47:16Playboy Covergirl, Ashley, and it's the moment of truth here tonight.
00:47:22Think about it, Michael, from Marilyn Monroe all the way to our lovely Ashley.
00:47:27The sexiest women in the world, and we have the sexiest of them all right here,
00:47:32Ashley.
00:47:33And she's about to reveal the cover.
00:47:35Be quiet.
00:47:39When I was a little girl,
00:47:40I couldn't really put my finger on what I wanted to do with my life.
00:47:45So I went on to college to graduate with a degree in communications.
00:47:51And then one day my whole life changed.
00:47:54And that was the day that you guys voted me to become your next WWE Diva.
00:48:02So now I get to travel and perform all over the world.
00:48:08And today, I get to entertain you guys in a very different way.
00:48:15You guys wanna see the cover?
00:48:18I wanna see the cover.
00:48:19Well, let's get on with it.
00:48:20You guys gonna help me count this down?
00:48:21I'll count right now.
00:48:23Three, two, one.
00:48:24Drum roll, please.
00:48:26She's communicating with me.
00:48:28Three.
00:48:29Two.
00:48:30Two.
00:48:31One.
00:48:31One.
00:48:31One.
00:48:32Here it is.
00:48:38Wow.
00:48:41Wow.
00:48:44Even you gotta like that, Michael.
00:48:46Oh, my God.
00:48:53I can't wait till March 12th.
00:48:56I cannot wait until March 12th.
00:48:58Hey, you got connections on Wall Street.
00:49:00You did right, I do.
00:49:01Get us some of the names, copies, do something.
00:49:02I'm gonna call you right now.
00:49:06Wow.
00:49:07She said she got a degree in communications.
00:49:09She communicating to me right now.
00:49:12Holy cow.
00:49:14Yes.
00:49:14Very nice.
00:49:17That right there might be the next Mrs. Layfield.
00:49:21On March 12th, newsstands everywhere.
00:49:24Well, ladies and gentlemen, still to come tonight, a tag team match of epic proportions.
00:49:30Opponents at WrestleMania, teammates tonight and Sunday.
00:49:33World Champion Matista, number one contender Undertaker,
00:49:37meeting Raw's rated RKO, explosive action tonight.
00:49:47Donald Trump, live and in person, here on WWE Raw.
00:49:54This is a historic moment.
00:49:57I'm here to challenge you to a match in WrestleMania.
00:50:03What?
00:50:04You gonna challenge me to a match at WrestleMania?
00:50:07I will kick your ass.
00:50:10The answer, the answer's no.
00:50:16Why don't I find a hand-picked competitor to represent me?
00:50:22You find someone to represent you, I'll be in my guy's corner, you'll be in his.
00:50:29What do you say? Put her there.
00:50:33I have another idea.
00:50:35You pick a representative, I'll pick a representative.
00:50:39If you lose, I get to shave your head.
00:50:45If I lose, you get to shave my head.
00:50:50I still think you've got something up your sleeve, Mr. Trump, but you know what?
00:50:56The match is off.
00:51:05Listen.
00:51:07Again, I cannot believe that either Donald Trump or Mr. McMahon is gonna get their head shaved to WrestleMania.
00:51:14Two of the biggest hair dudes of all time, Michael.
00:51:19Two billionaires.
00:51:21Following contest, he's scheduled for one fall.
00:51:25Making his way to the ranks from Raleigh, North Carolina, weighing and adjoining at 15 pounds.
00:51:30He's the longest reigning champion in SmackDown history.
00:51:35And then cruiserweight champion of the world, Gregory Hill.
00:51:40Michael, can you actually believe in WrestleMania?
00:51:43We've got the Battle of the Billionaires.
00:51:45Two guys worth over a billion dollars each.
00:51:48Tie it up.
00:51:50One of them gets their head shaved.
00:51:53Vince McMahon, Donald Trump.
00:51:55And for Bobby McCain, weighing in at 207 pounds.
00:51:58One, two, three.
00:52:00It's like P.T. Barlow versus John D. Rockefeller.
00:52:05So, Scottie Chihuahua set for action in this non-title match against the Cruiserweight champion, Gregory Hill, who's held that
00:52:12title for over a year.
00:52:14You know, Tony Chimple's got a center ball coming out for Farm Almanac.
00:52:19How hot was Ashley Clayton Lake going?
00:52:22Smoke it.
00:52:23I can't wait.
00:52:24I can't wait till March 12th.
00:52:25I don't know what I'm gonna do over the next month.
00:52:30Don't even answer that question.
00:52:31High Road.
00:52:32High Road, Michael.
00:52:33High Road.
00:52:34From behind, Gregory Helms attacking Scottie Tuhani, and this matchup is underway.
00:52:40Ladies and gentlemen, it has been an absolutely historic night here tonight on Friday Night SmackDown,
00:52:45a very special edition.
00:52:46We are two nights away from No Way Out.
00:52:50We talked about this earlier, John.
00:52:51They call the Royal Rumble the start of the road to WrestleMania.
00:52:55We are about to have a major car wreck on that road two nights away at No Way Out Sunday.
00:52:59We are simply the biggest tag team matchup in SmackDown history.
00:53:04And if Teddy Long, Captain Cialis, can leave Crystal alone long enough to make a match,
00:53:10we're gonna have a hell of a match between Bobby Lashley and Mr. Kennedy.
00:53:14Yeah.
00:53:14Teddy Long, the general manager of SmackDown, says he's gonna get in contact with ECW officials
00:53:18and try to make the ECW world title match for Sunday at No Way Out.
00:53:22Mr. Kennedy against Lashley, and Scottie with the right hand, trying to knock off the Cruiserweight champion here.
00:53:27Remember, last week, John, in an on-title matchup, Gregory Helms, well, he lost to Daivari.
00:53:34Which could be the low light in all of Gregory Helms' career.
00:53:41Yeah, Scottie Tuhani, well, Helms may lose to Scottie Tuhani here tonight.
00:53:45Scottie Tuhani is a two-time tag team champion.
00:53:48Yes, the master of the worm.
00:53:50Scottie taking it to Gregory Helms.
00:53:53What did you just say?
00:53:54Scottie taking it to Gregory Helms.
00:53:56The master of the worm.
00:53:58Yeah, Scottie's the master of the worm.
00:54:00So he wins matches.
00:54:03He does.
00:54:04And there's the mold on her, and this is what I'm talking about, almost on cue.
00:54:10The worm, you're excited for the worm.
00:54:14Can you be quiet for one time tonight?
00:54:21Why are these people cheering this?
00:54:25O-R-S.
00:54:27I can spell Mr. Grummarion.
00:54:30And say, wait a minute, Daivari, speaking of Kevin, what the hell is he doing out here?
00:54:43Funaki, what is going on?
00:54:45Funaki, SmackDown's number two announcer now, right behind me.
00:54:50And Jamie Noble, Jamie Noble, Daivari, Funaki.
00:54:57Funaki told me he writes my announcement.
00:55:01What the hell we got here?
00:55:02What the hell is this?
00:55:05What's he doing on SmackDown?
00:55:07What's going on?
00:55:09Cruiserweights galore everywhere.
00:55:12They all have to, Gregory Helms, I guess.
00:55:16And the Cruiserweight Champion back in the ring.
00:55:22I don't think I'd upset Gregory Helms.
00:55:25He's standing tall, just like he's done for over a year.
00:55:28No, who is it?
00:55:29Jimmy Wayne, yeah, yee-haw.
00:55:31What the hell is going on?
00:55:32Can we not have security anywhere?
00:55:34SmackDown's resident redneck.
00:55:36He's not a resident redneck, he's a resident goop.
00:55:38Yee-haw, Jimmy Wayne, yeah.
00:55:39How did you just say?
00:55:41Yee-haw.
00:55:42You're a beast.
00:55:42No way out, baby.
00:55:44No way out, baby.
00:55:47Perhaps the Cruiserweight Champion's a marked man.
00:55:51They had a year to knock him off.
00:55:53If they haven't done it by now, Michael, I'm not sure they're gonna do it.
00:55:57Well, that's not all, because here to come tonight,
00:55:59the second huge intercommercial main event in the evening.
00:56:03The world champion Batista and the Undertaker
00:56:06look to build momentum heading into no way out,
00:56:09but they take on the former World Tag Team Champions rated RKO tonight.
00:56:23Welcome back to Friday Night SmackDown.
00:56:41I'm ready for more action, are you?
00:56:51You gotta be, you gotta be, kick me.
00:56:54Oh my God.
00:56:59When you and I are on the same page, we're still the best tag team in the world.
00:57:03Who do you think you're talking to?
00:57:04Of course I know that, man.
00:57:05Of all people, I know that.
00:57:07But here's my point, Ed.
00:57:08Tonight, it's just not some regular matchup, man.
00:57:11We're talking about the Undertaker.
00:57:13We're talking about the World Heavyweight Champion Batista.
00:57:15Now, you saw what they did to John Cena and HBK on Raw last week.
00:57:20What do you think they have in store for us, man?
00:57:22What do you, here's my point.
00:57:26We have to do more, a whole hell of a lot more than just be on the same page.
00:57:31You know what?
00:57:32And we will.
00:57:33Because we're gonna force Undertaker and Batista to focus on each other instead of us.
00:57:38I mean, they're going head to head at WrestleMania 23.
00:57:40There is no way they trust each other.
00:57:43It's simple.
00:57:44Divide and conquer.
00:57:46They'll be lucky if they make it to no way out without exploding.
00:57:49So what we do is we take that weakness, that mistrust, and we exploit it.
00:57:55Tonight, we make the Undertaker and Batista turn on each other.
00:57:58And there is no way they can beat us.
00:58:02What can I say, man?
00:58:33I love it.
00:58:34And next week's Rey Mysterio's hometown of San Diego.
00:58:38Special appearance by the former world champion Mysterio gonna update us
00:58:42on his recovery from his injured knee.
00:58:47One tag team contest, he's getting a ball.
00:58:51One ball, makes it a weight of the ring.
00:58:53And a combined weight of 495 pounds.
00:58:57Edge, Randy Orton, Rating RKO.
00:59:02Well, John, moments ago, Rated RKO for Raw said that,
00:59:07there's no way that Undertaker and Batista can defeat them here tonight.
00:59:11Because Edge and Orton are gonna get Batista and Undertaker to focus on one another,
00:59:17as opposed to allowing them to work as a team.
00:59:20It's the same problem that Shawn Michaels and Cena have gonna have at No Way Out.
00:59:25The Undertaker and Batista can have tonight.
00:59:28If you have two egomaniacs trying to coexist, it's not gonna happen.
00:59:47Back to his way to go for Washington, D.C., weighing at 290 pounds, is the world heavyweight champion, Batista!
01:00:01The animal looks fired up tonight.
01:00:04He may look fired up tonight, Michael, but he's trying to knock off the legend.
01:00:08The Undertaker, 14-0 at WrestleMania.
01:00:11You think these two guys could coexist?
01:00:13Not a chance in hell.
01:00:23Batista and The Undertaker better coexist, not only tonight, but two nights from tonight.
01:00:29And No Way Out because they're gonna go head on against John Cena and Shawn Michaels.
01:00:34But don't slight the two guys in the ring, Michael.
01:00:37You have RKO, both of them world champions together, former tag team champions.
01:00:44They are stepping in the ring tonight.
01:00:46Batista and Undertaker are with two champions that wanna make a statement themselves.
01:01:01They are on their feet for the world champion in Seattle.
01:01:05These SmackDown fans, as Randy Orton and Edge look on with a smug look on their face.
01:01:14That smug look just got erased.
01:01:38And from death's belly, weighing over 305 pounds.
01:01:47The Undertaker!
01:01:50There's absolutely nothing like the feeling when The Undertaker, when he enters an arena.
01:01:59Bone-chilling could be one way to describe it.
01:02:02John, you have been in the ring, and you've watched The Undertaker as your opponent walk down that aisle.
01:02:09What goes through your mind as you watch this transpire?
01:02:13You doubt everything about yourself when you watch The Undertaker come down.
01:02:17You think you're ready, you think you're in shape, you think you've got a game plan.
01:02:21Everybody's got a game plan until they see the dead man, and that changes everything.
01:02:26On April 1st in Detroit, Michigan at Ford Field, The Undertaker, 14-0 at WrestleMania,
01:02:33will take on Batista for the World MUA Championship.
01:02:37But tonight, those two men will team together as they will Sunday at No Way Out.
01:02:51And again, John, it is the fact that The Undertaker and Batista are opponents for the World Championship in WrestleMania
01:02:58that Rated RKO hopes to exploit here in this matchup tonight
01:03:02to try to turn the teammates against one another here on SmackDown.
01:03:06Well, look at the audacity and temerity of Batista.
01:03:09He says he can knock off the legend, the phenom, the 14-0 undefeated streak, Undertaker at WrestleMania.
01:03:17I don't think that sets very well with the dead man.
01:03:21My bet is they don't coexist.
01:03:23Well, earlier tonight, you said Michaels and Cena wouldn't get along.
01:03:26They did.
01:03:27We saw last night on Raw, John, that Batista and Undertaker could work together
01:03:33when they left Cena and Michaels lying in the ring.
01:03:37Weekend's not over, Michael.
01:03:39When the weekend is over and these four guys get along with their respective teams,
01:03:44that's when you can talk about my predictions not coming true.
01:03:48But you talk about the entrance of The Undertaker.
01:03:51You look at the glare of Edge, and you look at RKO.
01:03:57It all changed when The Undertaker walked out.
01:04:00Matchup underway.
01:04:01Undertaker gonna start things off against Edge.
01:04:03This is the second of two huge interpromotional main events here tonight
01:04:09on this very special edition of Friday Night SmackDown.
01:04:12Undertaker, a former champion.
01:04:14Edge, a former champion as well.
01:04:16And Undertaker looking to wear down Edge.
01:04:20And what a matchup we have here tonight, Michael.
01:04:24Forgetting our way out for a minute.
01:04:26We got four world champions in the ring tonight.
01:04:29Former world tag team champion.
01:04:31Look, Cena and Shawn Michaels, the current world tag team champions,
01:04:36and Undertaker and Batista's opponent Sunday,
01:04:39looking out back in the locker room area.
01:04:41They better be taking notes.
01:04:44Undertaker trying to stretch out that left arm of Edge.
01:04:47Undertaker to the top rope.
01:04:49Vintage Undertaker, little bit old school on Friday Night SmackDown.
01:04:56And what an intimidating presence.
01:04:58What an intimidating force for 16 years.
01:05:02There's never been a more intimidating presence in the WWE's history, Michael.
01:05:07Forget just the 16 years.
01:05:09World champion, Batista, and off the tag.
01:05:12Big shoulder knockdowns by the powerhouse, the animal, Batista.
01:05:17Slamming Edge.
01:05:19In all the ring.
01:05:20And that's he don't knock the apron.
01:05:22Hey, Batista looks extremely intense here tonight.
01:05:27Batista, the Undertaker, on the road to WrestleMania.
01:05:31Hit a little bit of a pothole Sunday night when they team together against Michaels and Cena.
01:05:37And no way out, and Batista.
01:05:40Rated RKO in deep trouble.
01:05:44Engine open over the cover.
01:05:46Batista and The Undertaker are dominating.
01:05:49Can they keep it up on the road to No Way Out when we return to Seattle?
01:06:00We're back on Friday Night SmackDown, the world champion Batista teaming with The Undertaker.
01:06:05Much like they will do Sunday at No Way Out here tonight against Rated RKO in the second
01:06:10of two huge interpromotional main events here tonight.
01:06:15Rated RKO, the former world tag team champions from Raw, and there's Randy Orton.
01:06:20Look at the knee to the back, Batista sending Orton into the next table.
01:06:26Edge over the top rope as well, and how good is the champ look tonight?
01:06:34One, two, one, two.
01:06:36Kidney first goes Edge into the apron.
01:06:39Three.
01:06:43And look at from behind, Randy Orton, Randy Orton from behind, backbreaker.
01:06:49That's the teamwork right there of the former tag team champions.
01:06:53Oh!
01:06:54Baseball slide, that's the champ for the floor below, and suddenly Rated RKO,
01:06:59who now know every trick in the book, are dominating Batista.
01:07:04And remember, Rated RKO is not just two former champions tag team.
01:07:09These guys are two former tag team champions tag team, and they know each other well.
01:07:14One, two, three, three, four.
01:07:18Former world champions tag teaming, like you're the grammarian.
01:07:22Here.
01:07:23A double-team by Randy RKO, Batista knocked down, here's the cover,
01:07:28hook of the line, and a kick out by the champ.
01:07:31That is what is so interesting about No Way Out, Michael.
01:07:35It is a different world, the tag team world, than it is in single competition.
01:07:40It's something that Orton and Edge are very good at.
01:07:44Mr. McMahon, well, he really hit the nail on the head, JBL,
01:07:48when he made this match up a few weeks ago.
01:07:50Here's the cover by Undertaker, breaks up the three count.
01:07:54Mr. McMahon said the main event, No Way Out, in all likelihood, will never ever happen again.
01:07:59And it probably won't, Batista, Undertaker, versus Cena, and Michael.
01:08:02Four distinct entities, Michael.
01:08:04You look at Shawn Michaels, one of the greatest tag teams of all time, the Rockers.
01:08:08That was a long time ago.
01:08:10His ego has taken over him.
01:08:12He now just simply wants to be the top dog, as do all four guys.
01:08:16You're telling me they can coexist at No Way Out, not a chance in hell.
01:08:19I'm not saying they can, but they've coexisted well tonight, both teams.
01:08:23Although Edge and Orton, in complete control of the world champion, Batista.
01:08:27And Randy Orton, former world champion himself, that's that cocky attitude.
01:08:34That has not played a part in Orton's success.
01:08:37Believes in himself, is that their takedown, Batista the champ, as Orton.
01:08:42Orton bred to be a champion, third generation wrestler.
01:08:47A tag team with his dad, Cowboy Bob Orton, in Japan years ago,
01:08:51when he used to talk about how great his son was in high school wrestling.
01:08:54The kid was born to be a champion, and he's showing it tonight.
01:08:59Undertaker stomping around on the apron, watching this match up, bang!
01:09:03Good luck to get his hands on Orton.
01:09:05Undertaker knows Orton well from their battles in the past.
01:09:07This is a game changer, it's a game changer, Batista hits the tag.
01:09:11And Edge gonna make sure that the game didn't change right there.
01:09:16That is the veteran instinct of Edge.
01:09:18That is a veteran tag team guy.
01:09:21You remember Edge was part of one of the best tag teams of all time, just like Orton.
01:09:26These guys are working well together.
01:09:28Edge trying to make a tag, and he does.
01:09:30And Batista makes a tag, and now Edge has to go face-to-face with a beat on The Undertaker.
01:09:35And The Undertaker, perhaps one of the best pure strikers in the history of the game,
01:09:39with the right hands, to Edge and on.
01:09:41Boom!
01:09:43Undertaker's 300 times, that's like a fake track.
01:09:46He has never looked better, he has never looked better.
01:09:50Uh-oh.
01:09:52Uh-oh.
01:09:54Showtime.
01:09:55And ready to KO, double boot to the gut.
01:09:59One, two, three.
01:10:01Look out!
01:10:02Big Ditch Undertaker, Batista drags Orton out of the ring.
01:10:07Undertaker focusing on Edge.
01:10:11Edge is in a bad spot.
01:10:14He better find a way to get out, he better find a way to get out quick.
01:10:18Nice.
01:10:19Uh-oh.
01:10:20Uh-oh.
01:10:21Referee Jimmy Correras caught in the crossfire.
01:10:26Snake Eyes.
01:10:28Dunk Edge.
01:10:29Too late.
01:10:32Undertaker.
01:10:34Stalking Edge.
01:10:36Boom!
01:10:37And Batista driven into the steel post by Orton.
01:10:45Look at this, spear!
01:10:47Spear by Edge, off the distraction.
01:10:50That's his chance.
01:10:51No referee.
01:10:52Referee Jimmy Correras was-
01:10:54Come on, referee!
01:10:56Come on!
01:10:56Dammit!
01:10:58And things do not look good.
01:10:59Not after the Undertaker of Batista.
01:11:02Raiden RKO!
01:11:03Oh no!
01:11:04Edge with the steel chairs!
01:11:05And you know what this means?
01:11:07It could be concerto time!
01:11:09Somebody forgot to tell Edge he's a potted plant in this entire layout.
01:11:14I think Edge wants to make a statement himself.
01:11:17John!
01:11:18Edge is setting the Undertaker up for the concerto!
01:11:21Here on SmackDown!
01:11:22And the Undertaker's yard!
01:11:24And the Undertaker's set up!
01:11:27The Phenom had different plan!
01:11:30And Orton with a low blow!
01:11:31No referee who had been knocked down!
01:11:34And a blatant low blow by Orton and The Undertaker!
01:11:43Raiden RKO's debut on SmackDown!
01:11:46It's looking pretty good!
01:11:47Randy Orton with steel chair in hand, measuring The Undertaker, stalking The Phenom!
01:11:53Look at the look in the eyes of Orton!
01:11:56Steel chair off the skull!
01:11:59Fungering through the arena!
01:12:02Two days away from No Way Out!
01:12:04I'm not sure it's such a good idea to take on RKO!
01:12:08Randy Orton trying to get Jimmy Cloderes, the referee, back into this matchup!
01:12:13Here's the cover by Edge!
01:12:15Look at this!
01:12:16Here, a new referee!
01:12:18A new referee out of the ring!
01:12:19And The Undertaker kicked out of two!
01:12:21A second referee out of the ring!
01:12:23And Undertaker miraculously got the shoulder up!
01:12:26Out to the world!
01:12:27Champion back to the ring!
01:12:29And Batista take it out, made an RKO!
01:12:31Fight Buster!
01:12:41We got a referee and we got a fired up animal!
01:12:44Here comes the Batista bomb!
01:12:48Setting up one, and Edge!
01:12:50Spear!
01:12:50A spear!
01:12:52As Batista went for the Batista bomb!
01:12:57Edge!
01:13:00Shot slam!

01:13:07Undertaker!
01:13:08Measuring Edge!

01:13:13But it doesn't stop the feet on!
01:13:17Ball game!
