00:00:00...at night. Tonight we bring you the place to be on this road to Wrestlemania.
00:00:05Amaranth Bank Arena in Sunrise hosts Friday night Smackdown.
00:00:08Elimination Chamber just eight days away.
00:00:11The course of everything could be altered in real time.
00:00:13The biggest superstars are here just outside Fort Lauderdale,
00:00:17including Rhea Ripley with EO Sky.
00:00:20And tonight the focus is Rhea in singles action.
00:00:23A recent heated exchange with Julia has turned into this.
00:00:27Mommy against the Beautiful Madness tonight.
00:00:30Meanwhile, Kiana James has her own concerns, her biggest chance of all.
00:00:35It is time to decide another Elimination Chamber spot.
00:00:38The future Hall of Famer, Charlotte Flair,
00:00:42with good company leading the way here in Fort Lauderdale.
00:00:45Flair and Bliss in Sunrise tonight, as is Nia Jax.
00:00:50The irresistible forces are ready.
00:00:52A triple threat qualifier is ahead.
00:00:54On the men's side, it's the last chance for three big-time stars.
00:00:59Damian Priest is trying to get back to a Wrestlemania gold-clinching moment.
00:01:04He'll be in a qualifying match with the United States champion Carmelo Hayes.
00:01:08And let's talk about it.
00:01:10Trick Williams on the lemon pepper steppers are heading this way.
00:01:15He is targeting Elimination Chamber.
00:01:18That is all coming straight ahead.
00:01:20Wrestlemania season changes everything.
00:01:23Just like last week with Jacob Batu and Sami Zayn and Cody Rhodes
00:01:27and the undisputed champ Drew McIntyre.
00:01:33Here we go.
00:01:34Triple threat rules.
00:01:36Who will be the next name added to Elimination Chamber?
00:01:40Will it be Cody?
00:01:43I am two matches away from the dream, from main eventing Wrestlemania.
00:01:50Will it be Jacob?
00:01:52Man, I've been written off.
00:01:53I've been scratched out.
00:01:55Tonight, I'm winning.
00:01:57Or will it be Sami?
00:02:00Say it.
00:02:02You're a good man, Sami.
00:02:04You've paid your dues.
00:02:05You've earned this.
00:02:07And I've got a feeling
00:02:09you're going to win the big one tonight.
00:02:13On this long pathway left,
00:02:16win tonight,
00:02:17win Elimination Chamber,
00:02:19head to Wrestlemania.
00:02:21All three competitors are desperate,
00:02:24not more so than a demoralized Sami Zayn
00:02:27who lost the big shot at the Royal Rumble.
00:02:32Cutter!
00:02:33Cody, cutter!
00:02:38Batu's going to steal it!
00:02:39Batu's going to steal this one!
00:02:49You're a good man, Sami.
00:02:53You paid your dues.
00:02:56I've got a feeling
00:02:57you're going to win the big one tonight.
00:03:03While McIntyre stuck the deck,
00:03:06it's failed!
00:03:19Drew McIntyre tried to disrupt
00:03:23Rhodes and Batu's
00:03:25opportunity for greatness.
00:03:28Cody,
00:03:28what's his ticket
00:03:29for the Elimination Chamber?
00:03:32The dream
00:03:33is still alive.
00:03:34and it's still alive that they won't win the guilt.
00:03:48It has sung
00:03:54and that happens is still alive that nobody won't win the glitter.
00:04:02Pretty much
00:04:03The dream
00:04:03is still alive.
00:04:04In the show, every fight out of control
00:04:08Do it all to get them off the beat
00:04:14Crowd is here, about to blow
00:04:17Paying for me to start the show
00:04:21Out the curtain lights, go up and hold
00:04:25Whoa!
00:04:32Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
00:04:35The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes!
00:04:44Wade, the American Nightmare survived one of the wildest triple threat matches you'll see
00:04:51And with that, he had his had-to-have-it, desperate last-chance win
00:04:56And that hasn't been an elimination champion
00:04:58Yeah, so four slots now taken
00:05:01And what a card it looks like already
00:05:02Randy Orton, LA Knight, Javon Evans, little surprise package there
00:05:07And of course, Cody Rhodes, two spots left
00:05:10One of which will be filled tonight
00:05:12But man, destiny in the hands of the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes
00:05:17As he looks to main event WrestleMania once again
00:05:20He's one win away
00:05:35Eight days away from Elimination Chamber in Chicago
00:05:42Yeah, when we say one win away from the main event of WrestleMania
00:05:46It really doesn't tell the full story, does it?
00:05:49Because that one win is a win inside the Elimination Chamber
00:05:52Which might be the most difficult match of them all to win in WWE
00:05:57But the prize is as big as it gets
00:06:00Winner gets a World Championship match at WrestleMania
00:06:05WrestleMania 42 will be coming your way April 18th and 19th
00:06:09At Allegiant Stadium in Vegas
00:06:38And the prize is as big as it gets
00:06:55So, Fort Lauderdale!
00:07:05What do you want to talk about?
00:07:35Jacob Pantu, who last week was smashed through this reinforced announced
00:07:41test.
00:07:43And a triple threat that many feel he was on the brink of taking home.
00:07:48Cody asks, what do you want to talk about?
00:07:51There may be no talking here tonight when Jacob Pantu brings his usual brand of terror.
00:08:11Let's keep it 100.
00:08:14Honey, you wouldn't even be out here speaking, talking about Elimination Chamber if it wasn't
00:08:29for Drew.
00:08:35I had you and Sammy beat last week.
00:08:42I was walking out with a dove.
00:08:46I know it and you know it.
00:08:57But my concern is it about you right now.
00:09:05Let me double back real quick.
00:09:07My concern right now is about Drew McIntyre.
00:09:17Hey!
00:09:19So let's double back and keep it 100.
00:09:22Drew, bring your punk ass out here so I can dog walk your ass all over Fort Lauderdale!
00:09:37Jacob, I know you're upset and frankly you have every right to be.
00:09:44But listen, I had a feeling this was going to happen.
00:09:48So I gave Drew McIntyre the night off.
00:09:53Which is not something I really want to do because he is the WWE Champion.
00:09:58But there is too much at stake.
00:10:00Chamber right around the corner.
00:10:02WrestleMania on the horizon.
00:10:05I cannot take any unnecessary risks.
00:10:08So look, this is supposed to be Cody Rhodes mic time.
00:10:13So why don't you and I leave the ring to him.
00:10:18Give him his time.
00:10:19We go to my office and we can discuss.
00:10:22You getting your hands on Drew McIntyre.
00:10:30What?
00:10:33Can't keep the champ's name out of their mouth now, can they?
00:10:55Nick, I appreciate you giving me the night off, but number one, I'm the champion and I do what I
00:11:02want.
00:11:04Number two, I love SmackDown.
00:11:08I love SmackDown so much, I bought myself an entire suite just to watch the show.
00:11:17And Jacob, I heard you run in your mouth.
00:11:23I'm right here, man.
00:11:24All gas, no brakes.
00:11:26More like all bark, no bite.
00:11:29What are you gonna do?
00:11:30Apparently he's gonna go to a luxury suite to do something about it.
00:11:35Oh God, bodies are getting dropped, Joe!
00:11:37Jeez!
00:11:38Security is no match for Jacob Batu right now as Nick Aldis is trying to control the situation.
00:11:45Oh God.
00:11:46Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:11:48Hey, go, go, go.
00:11:48Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.
00:11:52Chamber!
00:11:53Come on!
00:11:54WrestleMania!
00:11:56Do you wanna get suspended, do you wanna miss those?
00:11:58Because I don't wanna do that.
00:12:01But don't- leave me no choice, all right?
00:12:04Hey, security, get up there and get him out of the building.
00:12:07Come on, Catoons, let's go!
00:12:10We're gonna get him out the building.
00:12:12Let's go, to him, go, to him.
00:12:13I need that.
00:12:14I don't need that
00:12:16I understand
00:12:17Calm down, calm down
00:12:19Not too absolutely enraged
00:12:26The man is waiting to explode at the sight of Drew McIntyre
00:12:31That's up to Nick Aldis
00:12:32Somehow talking some sense into Jacob Fatu
00:12:35I promise you it won't last
00:12:37Four or five security guards
00:12:40Man, the whole damn world's against me
00:12:43Because I'm the champ
00:12:44They are jealous of Drew McIntyre
00:12:48Because I'm the champ
00:12:50Everybody wants to be me
00:12:53Because I'm the champ
00:12:56Hey Drew!
00:12:59Hey!
00:12:59The whole world's not after you because you're the champ
00:13:04The whole world's after you because you are an asshole
00:13:14It all boiled up among these three in Germany in early January
00:13:20That's when the title came into Drew's hands
00:13:23It has not simmered down at all
00:13:25Drew, Jacob, and Coney entangled
00:13:30An explosive start to Friday night's Smackdown
00:13:39Man, it looks could kill
00:13:44Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes
00:13:46Clearly no love lost between those two
00:13:51Throw Jacob Fatu into that mix
00:13:53What a potent combination that would be
00:13:57Eight days away from Elimination Chamber
00:13:59As Cody Rhodes will try to make his way
00:14:02To Wrestlemania
00:14:04But as much as we are looking ahead to Elimination Chamber
00:14:08Of course we're looking ahead to all of this road to Wrestlemania
00:14:11There's still so much to unpack from recent events
00:14:14Like Solo, Sokoa, and the MFT
00:14:20Strength in Numbers is presented by Arby's
00:14:24We have the meets
00:14:2910-man tag team match
00:14:31Carmelo Hayes dragging on Shinsuke Nakamura
00:14:34Matt Cardona
00:14:35Apollo Crews on one side against Solo and his game
00:14:43Jokeslam
00:14:44MFTs are running things tonight on Smackdown
00:14:49Crews high flying
00:14:53H-bombs delivered
00:14:57He's closing in on a nothing but net
00:15:00Oh, but Tom Otago sends him flying
00:15:03Right to a spike
00:15:09The MFTs another major victory
00:15:36Listen to me, Melo
00:15:37You are the United States Champion
00:15:41You are him
00:15:43If you shoot, you don't miss
00:15:49You will win the qualifier match
00:15:51You will walk into Elimination Chamber
00:15:54And you will go straight to Wrestlemania
00:16:00Oh, sorry, I got way too much into this
00:16:03Hey, yo
00:16:04Hold up, man
00:16:05I don't need you telling me how to beat him
00:16:07How about you keep that same energy for your opponent tonight
00:16:10Because I'm going to do what I'm going to do
00:16:11Because Melo
00:16:13Don't
00:16:13Miss
00:16:14Yes
00:16:14Hey, I know that
00:16:17And everything I said is true
00:16:19I believe in you
00:16:21But there's one thing that will not happen
00:16:23And that is you
00:16:25Walking into Wrestlemania
00:16:28As the United States Champion
00:16:30We've got still a fight open
00:16:32But first
00:16:34We're going to take care
00:16:36Of Tomah
00:17:00The following contest is scheduled for one fall
00:17:04Introducing first
00:17:05From Moscow, Russia
00:17:07Weighing in at 210 pounds
00:17:11I-I-I-DRAGUNO
00:17:37In Vegas
00:17:39Everything's a game
00:17:41Some nights
00:17:43It's played without cards
00:17:44Or dice
00:17:45Just attention
00:17:48Never knowing
00:17:50Who might show up at the table
00:18:00WrestleMania Vegas
00:18:02It's anyone's game
00:18:07One, two, three, four

00:18:15Counting zeros every day
00:18:16You know that we never play
00:18:18Aye
00:18:19One, two, three, four
00:18:21Zee
00:18:21I'm telling you nigga
00:18:22I respect you for everything that you've done
00:18:24And you've done
00:18:24Listen, it's not gonna keep happening
00:18:26You understand using this
00:18:27Listen
00:18:28How long did you have to wait to get here?
00:18:31How long did I?
00:18:33With patience, I will give you Drew McIntyre.
00:18:38But I need you to wait.
00:18:40Do that to me.
00:18:43I'm not going to wait much longer.
00:18:52I hear that.
00:18:58The show never stops in WWE 2K26.
00:19:01And this week, 2K revealed details of this year's showcase mode.
00:19:05It's centered on CM Punk's career.
00:19:08Pre-order WWE 2K26 today.
00:19:10Early access begins on March 6th.
00:19:15One of the most unrelenting high-motor warriors in WWE, Ilya Dragunov.
00:19:20He is ready for action.
00:19:22And he's got a major axe to grind, as you mentioned, Joe.
00:19:25Ilya was supposed to get a rematch.
00:19:27For his formerly held United States Championship last week against Carmelo Hayes.
00:19:32That got scuppered by the arrival of the MFTs.
00:19:36One of whom he will be doing combat with right now.
00:19:40And we went from a potential title match to a 10-man tag team.
00:20:01And his opponent, accompanied by MFTs, weighing in the 240-pound, Tama Tonga!
00:20:12Tama Tonga!
00:20:14Solo Sokoa still with the Wyatt Six Lantern in hand.
00:20:17And the MFTs, a dangerous combination.
00:20:20And perhaps no one weighed among them has shown more fight and newfound weaponry than Tama Tonga.
00:20:26Yeah, you're absolutely right, Joe.
00:20:28Look, we've all been impressed with Tama Tonga since he's arrived with Solo Sokoa here in WWE.
00:20:34He has been exemplary in his performance as a soldier for Solo, following orders to a T.
00:20:40But 2026 has seen a very different side of Tama Tonga, who stepped up massively.
00:20:47He won the tag titles from the Wyatt Six.
00:20:50He beat Shinsuke Nakamura a couple of weeks ago.
00:20:52And then last week got the job for the MFTs in the 10-man tag that you mentioned.
00:20:58So, Tama Tonga is a man on the rise here on SmackDown right now.
00:21:03And another win tonight would be massive.
00:21:05Tama Tonga is a man on the rise here on SmackDown.
00:21:14Ilya Dragunov and Tama Tonga as this match is presented by Arby's.
00:21:20We have the meets.
00:21:22I mentioned a different side of Tama Tonga with what we've seen with recent results as the Mad Dragon gets
00:21:28to work with the Chops.
00:21:30It's been devastating opponents with that running cutthroat elbow.
00:21:34now the mad dragon the target for it all as you see him beating down with a series of right
00:21:39hands
00:21:39yeah the start of this match could only ever be one word which is intense and both men bringing
00:21:45it right from the off and far be it from me to question the character of Tama Tonga but
00:21:51i have to question the mindset of Ilya Dragunov knowing full well that there are
00:21:55four MFTs outside the ring here and Ilya Dragunov stands alone surely it's only a matter of time
00:22:02before the MFTs involve themselves in this match yeah it's just the mindset of Dragunov though to
00:22:08just say if there's a fight in front of me that's where I want to be no matter who's surrounding
00:22:12him
00:22:12which is often presented as a massive strength in this game and it usually is but in a situation
00:22:17like this maybe you do want to take your foot off the gas and think nah there's five of them
00:22:21there's
00:22:21one of me probably not going to be successful here unless you come up with something quite incredible
00:22:30Tama Tonga goes running right into that right knee of Dragunov who then delivers the big boot as well
00:22:36nice movement from Tama Tonga avoiding the worst of that boot incredibly nimble on his own and vicious
00:22:43on the attack but right now it's all about Dragunov this is the high motor revving engine we see all
00:22:49the
00:22:49time from Ilya yeah that's a good word high motor right there from Dragunov simply has no way of
00:22:56slowing down and has an engine that does not seem to fatigue at all nice start here from Dragunov
00:23:14so an offensive spurt from Ilya Dragunov has Tama Tonga as you said looking to regroup on the outside
00:23:20does so it's just draping and hanging that head of Dragunov over that top rope yeah staggering
00:23:26Dragunov just briefly there but you know full well Dragunov is gonna be straight back on the attack
00:23:31and is so this has been an absolute scramble from the off good pace being set early on oh he
00:23:38followed
00:23:39him up you know sometimes he winds up that Konstantin special but instead it was Tama Tonga well scouted
00:23:46tonight yeah I'll tell you the presentation of Tama Tonga it would be easy to assume this guy isn't really
00:23:52particularly skillful he's just a master at the art of savagery however technically askew high flyer
00:24:00incredibly fast Tama Tonga really is the total package and I think that plays to exactly Wade what
00:24:06you were describing of this new look this new side that we've seen in recent months yeah Tama Tonga's
00:24:14been a lot calmer of late I mean you still get that feral growling occasionally but there seems to be
00:24:21a man
00:24:21who's dialed it down a little bit brought a little more smarts to the game and it's proven highly effective
00:24:27in the
00:24:27early goings in 2026
00:24:34right back on the attack as he puts him in the center of the ring and another series of right
00:24:39hands before Dragunov tries to
00:24:40fight back with the kick oh that elbow right to the back of the head oh look we talked about
00:24:45earlier the fact that Ilya Dragunov really
00:24:46wants that united states championship held by Carmelo Hayes the one that Carmelo Hayes took from Dragunov
00:24:52a couple of months ago however Solo Sokoa has made it quite clear that now that the mfts have acquired
00:24:58tag gold here
00:24:59they want more where that came from so perhaps Tama Tonga is now having a think about the united
00:25:06states championship himself and Solo has made it quite clear that if there's a strap out there with
00:25:11gold on it it needs to be with his family
00:25:16big chop from Dragunov a right hand across the jaw from Tama Tonga yeah I mean getting in a trade
00:25:23war with
00:25:24Tama Tonga when you're on your knees and he's on his feet you're always at a major disadvantage but
00:25:29slamming on the brakes nicely there is Dragunov trying to turn this thing around yeah good skill and now
00:25:34explosive dynamic power and as he comes charging into that corner before slamming him down yeah
00:25:41that's part of the problem with Dragunov so explosive turns it around in a hurry
00:25:46honestly executed knee off the second oh looking for the win right here kick out by Tama Tonga and how
00:25:52quickly did Dragunov turn from being on the defensive there to all-out attack and now in the drop zone
00:26:00is Tama Tonga
00:26:02Taga quick to his feet straight to Dragunov and slams him down
00:26:08and how quickly things can turn around with Tama Tonga
00:26:24Tama Tonga in control here on Friday night Smackdown against Ilya Dragunov who told Carmelo Hayes
00:26:30the U.S. champion after I'm done with Tama tonight we can get back to where we left off get
00:26:35back to that
00:26:36rematch he thought he was gonna have for the U.S. title a week ago instead it was the MFTs
00:26:40you see
00:26:40Solo Sokoa and his crowd who caused chaos last week we ended up with a 10-man tag team now
00:26:47Ilya
00:26:48Dragunov looking for a bit of revenge
00:26:52as he's trying to rally back against Tama Tonga both men having to dig deep at this point both
00:26:57have taken a lot of attrition in a relatively short amount of time in this match
00:27:03oh both men down in the center of the ring what an impact wave yeah just a big swing from
00:27:09both men
00:27:10looks like blood is now pouring out the nose of Ilya Dragunov not surprisingly take another look
00:27:15at this double impact here both men dropping in a heap although slowly stirring
00:27:22him Dragunov with a taste of his own blood in his mouth sometimes finds that extra gear you can see
00:27:29that look
00:27:29in his face he has no problem in deep waters of a match like this going toe to toe
00:27:39spinning again and now there are levels to his game as he chops down at the knee
00:27:47Tama Tonga able to get out of the way Dragunov right back on top of him looking for the German
00:27:53technical excellence of Ilya Dragunov now just hole for hole counter for counter German suplex and
00:27:59refusing to let go he's applying a bear hug here if he's gonna try for yet another German suplex looks
00:28:06like it is the latter how much exhaustion is on both of these men at this point Tama oh how
00:28:16high
00:28:16was that landing on the back of the neck and head of Tama Tonga and then he looks at solo
00:28:22Sukoh and says you like that
00:28:27the mfts surrounding this ring and there stands Ilya Dragunov all on his own willing to fight Tama
00:28:36Tonga at this level and this intensity
00:28:42the Konstantin special so much momentum and what a connection that could be it shoulders are down
00:28:50and that was an awkward looking was an attempt there from Ilya Dragunov clearly his own body not
00:28:56cooperating with his mind at this point he's taken such a beating and that could have been crucial
00:29:01like as it was a late kick out but still it might be academic anyway climbing up top Tama back
00:29:08to his
00:29:08feet looking to deliver but instead right on his head goes Dragunov Tonga looking to put it away right
00:29:17here and gets that right shoulder up does the mad dragon and such a nasty looking modified flatliner right
00:29:23to the top of the head of Dragunov and Dragunov now has no clue where he's at I don't care
00:29:28how intense
00:29:29you are once the mind gets wiped like that there's very little you can do to resist
00:29:35now you're seeing everything in the arsenal of Tama Tonga as Dragunov is looking for a way out
00:29:43Dragunov looking for anything at this point nice but look at how much has been taken out of him
00:29:48yeah that's the problem you hit a big move at this point in the match you really need to follow
00:29:52it up either with a pin or something immediately afterwards and I don't know what is left in the
00:29:58tank of Dragunov at this point but I will tell you he's at the wrong side of the tracks and
00:30:03Tonga Loa providing a distraction and that's all Tama needed a series of headbutts as he sends Tama
00:30:10Tonga down up to the top rope in the target zone is Tama Tonga dragging off all that high set
00:30:19time flying off the top rope and that is completely not the stuffing out of the Tongan Terra
00:30:27J.C. Maseya on the apron meanwhile the roll up from Tama Tonga and kick out by Dragunov big right
00:30:36hand oh and he comes right back with the kick little matrix shot right to the temple of Tama Tonga
00:30:42just
00:30:43when Tama Tonga looked like he was gonna steal this thing and now Tonga Loa getting himself in the mix
00:30:49there it is cutthroat cutthroat running elbow
00:30:58here is your winner Tama Tonga
00:31:05well I don't know about you Joe but I counted three separate instances of distractions from ringside by the
00:31:12MFTs but regardless one cutthroat later from Tama Tonga and yet another success for this man in 2026
00:31:24exactly the way you thought I was playing huh oh yeah quiet down you thought that I was playing
00:31:36what I ain't this is my family tree this is my soul and this is what's going to happen from
00:31:48now on
00:31:48I got the tag titles I'm coming forever oh Ilya bravely up on his feet going the attack
00:31:55really stupidly what the hell are you doing Ilya knowing there are five of them surrounding
00:32:01and of course oh they get the best of them as Mateo with a body shot now Tama Tonga
00:32:09oh the massive choke slam almost seven feet tall packed with power and Ilya Dragunov what on earth
00:32:16were you thinking now oh this is going to get ugly here Dragunov it oh that Cardona was coming down
00:32:24to
00:32:24the rescue Cardona who was tagging with dragging up against the MFTs last week tried to provide
00:32:29some resistance beaten to the punch by Tama Talatonga another of the tag partners from last
00:32:36weekend the same result how devastating is Talatonga oh Talatonga is an absolute destroyer I mean
00:32:44you barely need the numbers game when you have a nearly seven foot piece hold on
00:33:02so it's clear you use your family as a crutch so you're left still standing
00:33:14if you're the shining light then it's time you show everyone that you can stand on your own
00:33:28the next time I come down to that ring I will be alone
00:33:35I will expose all the insecurities that you have hidden from the fireflies
00:33:45the only question is will you show up
00:34:06well if anything mister I do what I want
00:34:08what do you want to do now Drew Nick Nick relax come on man I was just having some fun
00:34:12out there

00:34:47okay champ
00:34:51apparently Drew McIntyre is done for the evening well ironically joining me as a man who hopes to
00:34:56challenge Drew at Wrestlemania he is the Viper Randy Orton
00:35:04Randy as you know to earn that opportunity at Wrestlemania you have to win the elimination
00:35:08chamber match next Saturday how do you feel about the competition you're going to face which includes
00:35:14one of your closest friends Cody Rhodes well Byron everybody in the elimination chamber is most
00:35:21certainly on edge I mean you just saw what literally just happened Drew McIntyre our champ
00:35:26just got ejected from the arena but when it comes to my friend Cody Rhodes
00:35:33oh Randy
00:35:36I thought it's almost as if you predicted this
00:35:40you and Cody Rhodes I mean you know that there's only one road left for you to take
00:35:48it was a time Randy when someone like myself for that matter the entire locker room would not be able
00:35:56to get this close to you no because they'd wake up with the worst headache they've ever experienced
00:36:04because there was this one thing that they feared much more than the RKO
00:36:10and I wonder Randy where is that man see I think we should poke around in your head a little
00:36:20bit
00:36:22I see what you're doing Black but the only version of me that I need to kick your ass is

00:43:07well
00:43:08you burn me
00:43:34The following contest is a Women's Elimination Chamber Qualifier Triple Threat Match!
00:43:41Introducing first, from the Queen City!
00:43:47Charlotte Blair!
00:43:52Of course, it's well on the other side of Elimination Chamber, fighting in a WrestleMania Championship
00:43:57match where Charlotte has spent the majority of her career.
00:44:01Now she's trying to take a step closer to Mania.
00:44:04Elimination Chamber Qualifier against Kiana and Nia Jax next.
00:44:10Friday Night Smackdown here in Fort Lauderdale, and how about what's coming to Tampa?
00:44:16Backlash is coming to Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida.
00:44:21It'll be Saturday, May 9, and tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:44:29And we just saw moments ago, Aleister Black poking the bear, playing with fire, and now
00:44:35this is official, Wade!
00:44:37Yeah, careful what you wish for, Aleister Black, you are now going one-on-one with the Viper,
00:44:43Randy Orton, tonight, right here on SmackDown!
00:44:47That is coming up later tonight, of course, Men's Elimination Chamber Qualifier, and right
00:44:52now, the Women's Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match with Charlotte Blair, a chance to make
00:44:59a WrestleMania Championship match.
00:45:02She had that chance in Riyadh, accidentally eliminated Alexa Bliss from the Royal Rumble
00:45:07that night while she was ousting Nia Jax.
00:45:18And her opponent, making her way into the ring, from Two City, Iowa, Kiana James!
00:45:32Wade, it has been tough to dismiss what we've seen out of Kiana James, and now she has a
00:45:37chance to join that crowd, already qualifying for the Women's Elimination Chamber.
00:45:44Yeah, what a crew that are already in there.
00:45:46A bunch of world champs, Tiffany Stratton, Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, two places left,
00:45:53one of which will be decided right now, and you have to say, looking at the field, Kiana
00:45:59James is a ranked outsider tonight, bearing in mind, she's in there with two former multiple-time
00:46:05world champions.
00:46:15Speaking of former women's champions.
00:46:20And their opponent, from San Diego, California, Nia Jax!
00:46:28Of course, Jax has been a force on every level.
00:46:31Look at that look from Charlotte.
00:46:32Oh, someone's beat historically between Nia Jax and Charlotte.
00:46:36These two cannot stand each other, and let's not forget, Nia Jax thought she'd be walking
00:46:41in tonight as one half of the tag champs, that match against the champs Rhea and Io, alongside
00:46:47Lash Legend last week, getting thrown out by the referee, although they do have their
00:46:51rematch next week on SmackDown, as we just learned.
00:46:56Of course, teaming with Lash Legend recently is the Irresistible Forces, and that has gotten
00:47:01everybody's attention.
00:47:03But now a massive opportunity for her own championship aspirations here.
00:47:10Women's Elimination Chamber qualifying triple threat match.
00:47:14And a big elbow to start things off with Charlotte.
00:47:17Well, incredibly dismissive right off the bat, were Nia and Charlotte had eyes only for each
00:47:22other.
00:47:22And Kiana James saying, hey, what about me?
00:47:25Well, there you go.
00:47:26There you go, Kiana.
00:47:27That's what you get for your troubles.
00:47:29Trouble able to get out of the way of that potential Samoan drop, and then the shoulder
00:47:32tackle from Nia Jax.
00:47:52Yeah, there's going to be no deal brokered in the middle of the ring with Nia Jax.
00:47:56Yeah, and I don't know if I agree with that from Nia Jax.
00:47:59The smart thing would be to team up against one of your opponents and make this effectively
00:48:03a singles one-on-one matchup, increasing your chances of getting through to the Elimination
00:48:08Chamber next week.
00:48:11But Nia Jax clearly does not play that way.
00:48:13Now she levels Charlotte and then levels James with the pop-up headbutts.
00:48:21And now Nia Jax with each of her rivals lined up for the hip attack.
00:48:26The spoilt for choice at this point, and this is turning into a cakewalk for Nia Jax.
00:48:33It's just been too easy, as Nia is simply too powerful.
00:48:42Oh, shoulder goes right into that post.
00:48:45Women's Elimination Chamber qualifying.
00:48:47How?
00:48:59Continuing on here, Women's Elimination Chamber qualifying match.
00:49:03And Joe Tess is currently being assaulted by Nia Jax at ringside while the fight continues in the ring.
00:49:10And a little recovery here from Nia Jax.
00:49:16Here is the issue with taking Kiana James lightly.
00:49:20Now taking full control of the matchup and starting to dominate against Charlotte Flair.
00:49:28You brought it up earlier, Kiana James and how impressive she has been recently.
00:49:34And really going beyond just guiding Julia.
00:49:38It's everything she's done beyond that path of success.
00:49:40Her in-ring ability has shown through recently.
00:49:44Yeah, I agree with you completely on that one, Joe.
00:49:46She has been absolutely fantastic for the past six or seven weeks.
00:49:49Here's the issue.
00:49:50You're now at WrestleMania season.
00:49:52This is where the very best, i.e. Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax, find that new gear.
00:49:58And if you've never been in the winner's circle as a world champion,
00:50:02you really have to prove that you can hang with ladies like this.
00:50:05That Kiana is now, to be fair, doing exactly that.
00:50:12The great crowd here in Fort Lauderdale tonight for Friday Night SmackDown.
00:50:1911,400-plus all trying to rally support for the 14-time world champion, Charlotte Flair.
00:50:30Charlotte Flair's tag partner, Alexa Bliss, already qualified for the Elimination Chamber match.
00:50:35That could potentially make things a little easier for those two in the chamber if they can team up together.
00:50:41Of course, Charlotte needs to qualify first.
00:50:44Tiffany Stratton was the first.
00:50:46Rhea Ripley, Alexa you mentioned, and Asuka.
00:50:49Four of the six have been decided, and now the fifth will be determined here.
00:50:53Yeah, and how impressive is the power of Kehlani, excuse me, Kiana James.
00:50:58I keep getting two names mixed up, but she packs a lot of power in that frame, and it sometimes
00:51:04catches her opponents by surprise.
00:51:07And now they team up against Nia Jax, but Nia with the double clothesline.
00:51:13But you do have to team up against Nia Jax, that's part of the issue when you're competing against Nia
00:51:18Jax.
00:51:18Very few women on their own can beat Nia Jax, as we've seen over the years.
00:51:24And this is Nia just starting to have a little fun in there at her opponent's expense.
00:51:37And Kiana and Charlotte lined up by Nia Jax, looking for the double suplex.
00:51:48Oh, and how about that?
00:51:52Charlotte and Kiana, able to get the best of Nia.
00:51:59Oh, trying to steal a quick one here!
00:52:06So much on the line here in Fort Waterdale.
00:52:09Big crowd for Friday Night SmackDown Women's Elimination Chamber qualifying match.
00:52:13We'll see who will be the fifth superstar to make it to Chicago.
00:52:17We're just eight days away.
00:52:19WrestleMania season.
00:52:21Charlotte Flair going up top against Kiana James and Nia Jax in this triple threat.
00:52:26Charlotte! High crossbody!
00:52:29It's that time of year, Joe, where the very best come out to play!
00:52:33And of course, the 14-time world champion, the future Hall of Famer.
00:52:39You know what she has her sights set on.
00:52:42WrestleMania is just eight weeks away.
00:52:45Eight days away is Elimination Chamber.
00:52:47And Flair is making this just look too easy right now.
00:52:52Oh, the walkover clothesline.
00:52:55Vintage Charlotte Flair.
00:52:57Precision, pinpoint timing once again from statistically the greatest in history.
00:53:04Certainly the best resume in history.
00:53:06We're looking to add to that by winning the Elimination Chamber and going on to WrestleMania.
00:53:11Getting there first though is the mission.
00:53:13Long time rival in Nia Jax receiving those Flair chops.
00:53:18Barely budging Nia Jax.
00:53:20That's the power this woman holds.
00:53:23Charlotte in complete rhythm as she delivers the big boot and then takes one from Kiana James.
00:53:30That's the problem with fighting two opponents at one time.
00:53:32Eventually you're gonna get caught.
00:53:34And Charlotte did indeed get caught and this looks bleak now.
00:53:37Oh!
00:53:39The boot that causes the Samoan drop.
00:53:42And both Nia and James are down.
00:53:45And a huge opportunity for Flair.
00:53:48Oh, both ladies in the drop zone.
00:53:50We've seen this before, Joe.
00:53:51Killed two birds with one stone.
00:53:54Flair lining up that moonsault.
00:53:56One of the best in the biz.
00:53:59High above Amber in Bank Arena and delivers it.
00:54:02Perfect!
00:54:03To qualify for Elimination Chamber.
00:54:06Oh!
00:54:08And a late, late kick out from Nia Jax.
00:54:11And that was a surprise after an expertly delivered moonsault to both opponents.
00:54:17Nia Jax catching the knees of Charlotte Flair.
00:54:21But still having just enough to kick out the lure of a possible chance of getting to WrestleMania.
00:54:28Clearly driving Nia Jax now.
00:54:31And you can see both the competitors looking up at that WrestleMania sign.
00:54:35And it's Nia.
00:54:37Oh!
00:54:37And Charlotte gets the best of her.
00:54:41Pop-up Samoan man!
00:54:43Did she take a hit there?
00:54:46Came down awkward.
00:54:47Wow!
00:54:48Look at the power of Kiana James!
00:54:50Kiana James, biggest opportunity of her career!
00:54:55Man, Kiana James, so strong.
00:54:58That was a ridiculously easy looking lift on the powerhouse Nia Jax.
00:55:04Did not even flinch on the way off.
00:55:07Wait!
00:55:08That is incredible power by Kiana James.
00:55:12Yeah, but it wasn't quite enough to get the dub.
00:55:15Now looking to finish the job.
00:55:16And what a shocker it would be if Kiana James can actually pull this off against a combined 16-time
00:55:24world champion opponent here.
00:55:27Biggest opportunity of her career by far.
00:55:30Her associate, Julia, missed qualifying for Elimination Chamber.
00:55:34And now, in against Flair, a future Hall of Famer.
00:55:37Jax, a former champion.
00:55:38Here is Kiana James.
00:55:42Giving everything she can, Wade.
00:55:45Yeah, and all three of these women are just two wins away.
00:55:48From a main event world championship opportunity at WrestleMania.
00:55:54One of those wins coming imminently for...
00:55:56Oh!
00:55:58Spanish Fly!
00:55:59Flair to do it right here!
00:56:02Two and change.
00:56:04And that was an absolute shocker.
00:56:07That looks so close.
00:56:10Let's take another look at this Spanish Fly that came almost out of nowhere from Charlotte Flair digging deep.
00:56:17And you see that shoulder just getting up in time.
00:56:21Take another look once again.
00:56:24And Charlotte Flair doesn't believe it.
00:56:25The people in the front row don't believe it.
00:56:27They're arguing too.
00:56:29That's the ref's discretion there as to what he saw.
00:56:32And you can see an incredulous look on the face of Charlotte Flair.
00:56:38Kiana James looks as good as buried at this point.
00:56:41Oh, dripped up!
00:56:43And then run right into the post.
00:56:49And now this is just Nia Jax completely going on a tear on a major warpath.
00:56:57Check out the speed of Kiana James on that.
00:57:00Oh!
00:57:00Oh!
00:57:01Nia Jax!
00:57:02Gotta stay nimble.
00:57:03Kiana James has found her gear.
00:57:13Oh!
00:57:17Oh!
00:57:21Oh!
00:57:21Oh!
00:57:24Oh!
00:57:26Oh!
00:57:26But instead of arching for the figure eight, it's a leg drop from Nia Jax.
00:57:31Well, just after we wrote Nia Jax off down, after eating those steel steps hard, suddenly,
00:57:38Kiana James in the worst possible position, Joe!
00:57:42She's dragged into the corner.
00:57:44It's squashing time!
00:57:45Potential annihilator here.
00:57:48This could be it.
00:57:50Oh!
00:57:52And Flair comes in and saves it.
00:57:54Well, Jax had the match won.
00:57:56Of course, Charlotte Flair fully aware of the danger that that particular annihilator,
00:58:02keeping the match alive for herself.
00:58:04All three of our competitors are down.
00:58:07All three of our competitors have given everything.
00:58:11Charlotte Flair, the Spanish Fly.
00:58:14Kiana James getting Nia Jax up on her shoulders and delivering the drop.
00:58:19And moments ago, Nia Jax with an annihilator.
00:58:23Well, hats off the...
00:58:25Kiana James hanging in with these two.
00:58:30And now the old rivalry.
00:58:32The years are going back and forth as Nia Jax just floors the 14-time world champion with the right
00:58:40hand.
00:58:40Don't trade with Nia Jax.
00:58:41You're not gonna win.
00:58:43This is what happens, Charlotte.
00:58:44That is not your wheelhouse.
00:58:46Not against Nia Jax.
00:58:49That's more like it.
00:58:50You gotta try something coming.
00:58:52And you know, Fullwell being a flair, she has a lot of dirty tricks up her sleeve.
00:58:56She might need them if she's gonna put Jax away here.
00:58:59Winner here makes it to Elimination Chamber for a chance to get a world championship match at WrestleMania.
00:59:06We are just eight days away from that golden ticket.
00:59:10Nia's got her up.
00:59:11But Charlotte able to get down and bring down Jax.
00:59:19Oh, hold on.
00:59:21And now flair is getting right back to business.
00:59:24Well, Jax is completely stunned off that landing and figure eight is locked in.
00:59:28It is locked in.
00:59:30Charlotte is locked in.
00:59:32The fifth...
00:59:33Kiana James.
00:59:35Shoulders are down.
00:59:36Shoulders are down.
00:59:41Here is your winner, Kiana James!
00:59:47Kiana James, somehow, some way, took the figure eight and turned it into a win.
00:59:55What a mega-brain move there by Kiana James scoring the dub and she now rolls on to the Elimination
01:00:06Chamber.
01:00:08And the field is stacked.
01:00:10One place left to go.
01:00:12Wow, Kiana.
01:00:13What an upset here in Fort Waterdale.
01:00:17Kiana James breakthrough moment.
01:00:25The EO, Rhea, just lost a triple threat qualifying match.
01:00:29What are your thoughts on Kiana James now qualifying for Elimination Chamber?
01:00:36It's so sad that Nia didn't win tonight.
01:00:40But yeah, congratulations to Kiana for pulling off quite an upset.
01:00:45But her partner won't be so lucky tonight.
01:00:49Exactly, because I'm going to wipe the floor with Julia tonight.
01:00:52And then on Monday, EO is going to win her Elimination Chamber qualifying match.
01:00:56So we'll be seeing Kiana in the Chamber.
01:00:59I do have to ask.
01:01:00I know a lot of the focus is on Elimination Chamber,
01:01:03but do you feel like that could be clouding your preparation for next week's tag team title defense
01:01:07against Nia Jax and Last Legend?
01:01:11I mean, obviously we're focused on Chamber.
01:01:14But Byron, we're the tag team champions for a reason.
01:01:19We know how to deal with the pressure of WrestleMania season,
01:01:22and next Friday it's going to be no different.
01:01:24Nia and Lash don't stand a chance.
01:01:30And as for Elimination Chamber,
01:01:34may the best women win.
01:01:37All right, Cheeky.
01:01:38Let's go.
01:01:40Thank you, ladies.
01:01:43Oh, the ruler.
01:01:45The conqueror.
01:01:47Obafemi.
01:01:48The one and only explosive powerhouse.
01:01:51He's coming up against Kit Wilson.
01:01:53Next.
01:02:01Next Saturday,
01:02:03for the first time ever,
01:02:05Elimination Chamber descends on Chicago.
01:02:08The Second City Saint CM Punk defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor.
01:02:14It's the Saint versus the Prince for the title.
01:02:17Every road.
01:02:19Every risk.
01:02:21Every rivalry runs through the United Center.
01:02:25Elimination Chamber next Saturday.
01:02:33Where I'm from is a two-square-mile city,
01:02:36and it was the murder capital of the United States.
01:02:39East Palo Alto, California.
01:02:41Gang violence, drugs going on.
01:02:43It was like every night you would hear guns going off.
01:02:48You know, you hear about people getting shot and where I live.
01:02:52People you know.
01:02:52Yeah, yeah.
01:02:53You're either going to get involved in this,
01:02:56or you're going to end up in the penitentiary.
01:02:59I've known tons of people that are in San Quentin.
01:03:01You know, if it wasn't for my grandmother,
01:03:04I would probably be at one of those two places.

01:03:24It was this industry that has carried him through.

01:05:28Oh

01:06:01Few weeks ago was over delivering that signature fall from race up hit Wilson. Yeah, imagine the lasted 40. Yes
01:06:08seconds
01:06:10Brilliant display of power. Well, we thought it was the end of all this and then we got a couple
01:06:14poems later from the rancid kid
01:06:16Wilson, and I guess it's time to learn another lesson. There's nothing brilliant about power Joe about big muscles and
01:06:22powers
01:06:23Exactly feel about intimidation
01:06:28The pillar that WWE stands on
01:06:32Bill right we got a match here. What's he doing over over?
01:06:37Hey
01:06:38Look over. I feel like since the last time we met you've done a lot of work and you've grown
01:06:45So from feminist to feminist I
01:06:49Want to read you a poem?
01:07:03I
01:07:04Call this one an ode to over Femi
01:07:10Over Femi forgive my doubt I now see the greatness that people talk about
01:07:20You're impressive
01:07:21You're impressive incredible
01:07:22Born to reign
01:07:25With all these people chanting your name
01:07:32Hey
01:07:33Hey
01:07:33Hey
01:07:34And over I thought you were a brute
01:07:37I now know that's not fair because now
01:07:40When I look in your eyes over I
01:07:43I see a little teddy bear
01:07:53Wow
01:07:54Wow
01:07:55That was actually quite nice
01:07:58Wasn't it nice?
01:08:04Read another one
01:08:08I
01:08:09I only prepared one
01:08:10So
01:08:12Read another one
01:08:17It's only my old
01:08:18Read
01:08:22Read
01:08:25This is some of the old material though
01:08:27So just
01:08:27Just
01:08:28Nine things
01:08:30I hate about men
01:08:35I hate how they think being loud means they're strong
01:08:38I hate
01:08:40I hate how they think they are never wrong
01:08:43Toxic
01:08:44I hate how they act with no shame or regrets
01:08:50Always comparing the size of their beef bayonets
01:08:54Toxic
01:08:57Maybe that one needs some work
01:08:58Maybe that one needs some work but
01:08:59I hate how they strut
01:09:02Like a self-made king
01:09:04I hate every time they step in this ring
01:09:10I
01:09:10Do I have to?
01:09:12Do I have to?
01:09:17I hate every time
01:09:19I hate their brand of masculinity
01:09:27I hate the ruler
01:09:29Over
01:09:30Your toxicity
01:09:35How's your teddy bear now?
01:09:40Kid's about to find out
01:09:41I thought the pen was mightier than the sword
01:09:44Well that's clearly nonsense
01:09:47Oh that big running uppercut
01:09:50And how about another with all the
01:09:52All that size and power coming from behind it
01:09:55Oh
01:09:56An attempted offense from Kit Wilson
01:09:58Just bouncing off over Femi
01:10:01Oh
01:10:02Oh
01:10:03Just tosses him halfway across the ring
01:10:10And as Kit knows all too well
01:10:14Full
01:10:15Full
01:10:16From
01:10:16Grace
01:10:18Here is your winner
01:10:24Over
01:10:26Femi
01:10:27Man I really thought that poetry was gonna pierce the armor
01:10:33Of
01:10:33Of
01:10:34Of
01:10:34Oba Femi
01:10:34But the only thing getting pierced was the backbone
01:10:37Of
01:10:38Kit Wilson who just got minced in that ring
01:10:41By the ruler and destroyer that is Oba Femi
01:10:47And nothing being pierced there need a different kind of bayonet
01:11:00He is the ruler Oba Femi again
01:11:07You have no idea what's inside
01:11:09I have zero ideas sir

01:13:52A long, brutal, but necessary fight

01:16:07In the Elimination Chamber
01:16:09Absolute bedlam
01:16:10Several tag partners getting involved in the match
01:16:14But ultimately
01:16:15It was the former WWE Women's Champion
01:16:19Who struck with a prettiest moonsault ever
01:16:23To buck her spot in the Elimination Chamber next week
01:16:26While Chelsea Green
01:16:28So tragically suffered a broken ankle
01:16:32Toå™´
