02:47get here how long did i make patience i will give you drew mcintyre but i need you to wait
02:53i'm not gonna
02:55wait much longer one of the most unrelenting high motor warriors in wwe ilia draganov by the arrival of the
03:07mfts one of whom different side of tamatanga who stepped up massively a man on the rise here would be
03:19massive dragon off and tamatanga as this matches a different side of tamatanga with what we've seen
03:25with opponents with that running cutthroat elbow for it all as you see him beating down with a series
03:30and bringing it right from the off and far be it from me to question presented as a massive strength
03:35in this game and it usually is of draganov who then delivers the big boot high motor revving engine we
03:41see
03:41all the time looking to regroup on the outside does so it's just pace being set early on oh he
03:47followed
03:47him up however technically askew high flyer dragon off a couple of months ago however slamming on the
03:55brakes nicely there is dragon off trying to turn this thing around problem with dragon off so explosive
04:00turns it around in a hurry straight to dragon off and slams him down quickly things can turn around with
04:12tamatanga oh both men down in the center of the ring able to get out of the way draganov right
04:18back
04:18on top of him looking for the german much exhaustion is on both of these men at this point oh
04:23the constantine
04:26special looking to deliver but instead dragon off looking for anything at this point nice tongaloa
04:33providing a distraction and that's all tamar needed dragging off all that high set time big right
04:39hand oh and he comes right back with the kick little matrix shot and now tongaloa getting himself
04:47there it is cutthroat
04:48but regardless one cutthroat later the way you thought i was playing huh you thought that i was playing
05:01i did i've come a fan oh elia bravely up on his feet knowing there are five of them surrounding
05:07oh the massive choke slam caldona who was tagging with dragging over against the mfts last week
05:13another of the tag partners from last weekend the same numbers game when you have a nearly seven foot

09:11for nia jacks it's just been too easy as nia is oh shoulder goes right to that post nia jacks
09:19at
09:19ringside while the fight continues in the ring kiana james and how impressive she has been
09:24recently find that new gear and if you've never been in you really have to prove that you can hang

12:54poem

13:06eyes over i see a little teddy bear wow kids read another one it's only my old read this is

13:42oh no go full from
13:52no idea what's inside i have zero idea sir and that's nothing on the paper
13:58that's a major award o2 28 26 elimination chamber best and elimination chamber award best
14:08musical performance. I even won a Grammy. Wait, wait. Don't you mean a Slammy award?
14:13Let's send this back to Monday Night Raw. Let my esteemed colleague Adam Pierce
14:17deal with this. Yes, sir. Ready for your big match? Yeah. Damien, only one of us can go to
14:24WrestleMania, though. You want to tell him? Only Damien Priest in the
14:28Elimination Chamber Qualifier match. Some GM you turned out to be. You got our
14:32balls mixed up again, Nick. I want the ball, Nick, back! She got a crowbar in your locker?
14:37Yeah, I really want to know what's in there, but it sounds like... Tiffany Kraken!
14:43Match, there was an injury in it. Maliciously breaking the ankle. Yes. Here we go, Joe. Pledge!
14:51Alma Fire! Our medical staff, Chelsea, suffered a tenth degree.
14:58A qualifying match a couple of weeks ago. This injury to the ankle. Just moments ago against
15:05Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax, as you see, coming in. Of course, Tiffany the first! Raw, who fills that one?
15:11Cannot get anything going here! From Elimination Chamber. Shoulders are down!
15:15Clearly, Vectivan finally stemmed that flow of offense that was coming the way.
15:20And it will be a short match, but Alba Fire kept... Just beaten to the punch by Alba Fire.
15:25Hook on the leg by Alba. And it's going to be done with style. This is a...
15:301,400 plus. Destroying the ankle by Alba Fire and people who've been studying the game of Alba Fire for
15:38the past 10 years.
15:39Smackdown still to come. The Men's Elimination Chamber qualifying match. And then Randy Orton and Aleister Black.
15:45From Tiffany Stratton. That's... Ooh!
15:48Kelsey Green looks on it. Against all the talent to put her away right here.
15:52By again, absolutely. You can see the cast, Joe.
15:56Alba Fire. Gory special connects.
16:00And Alba's had a lot taken out, but took a couple of beats to get.
16:04Now I'll pay him a slam. But instead of the prettiest moonsault ever...
16:08That's why you hire the secret. Oh no!
16:10Miracle. Maybe it's not a broken leg is what it is.
16:13Oh! And look at Tiffany!
16:14Unbelievable. Alba Fire comes flying through.
16:17Up top on the top rope is Alba.
16:20Knees got up!
16:21That swanton from the top just took a beat too long.
16:24Nice! Scouted by Alba Fire.
16:27Tiffany just throws her away.
16:28Now Stratton. As she looks back up top.
16:32Prettiest moonsault.
16:33One, two, three!
16:39Get her away!
16:41Some bad luck at the Royal Rumble last week. Hell of a match.
16:45But you have nothing to be ashamed of.
16:47Yeah, I know I have nothing to be ashamed of.
16:50If anybody should be ashamed of themselves here, it's you.
16:53Yeah, Drew McIntyre gets involved in our match.
16:56I tried to help you with a crossroads and you punch your ticket to Elimination Chamber.
17:00And those opportunities, they don't just plop in your lap saying you haven't taken advantage of them.
17:05And that's why you haven't become WWE Champion.
17:09That's real easy for you to say when you're the golden boy.
17:13QB1. Everything always comes up. Aces for Cody Rhodes.
17:16Nobody chose me. I've been trying to finish my story.
17:19No, you don't. Of course you don't understand.
17:21And have it blow up in your face.
17:22I don't know what it's like to do the right thing and have it blow up in your face.
17:25And it cost me, and it cost me everything.
17:28It's not me. It's not the system.
17:31The only thing in your way is you.
17:39Dang!
17:42We're friends like Cody Rhodes who needs enemies.
17:45Let me give you some advice.
17:47I'm gonna do something tonight that you couldn't do.
17:50Let's get the job done.
17:53Let's talk about it.
17:57Cody! Hey! Cody!
18:01Look, I'm sorry, okay?
18:03It's fine.
18:03No, I'm sorry. I'm not doing great, okay?
18:06But you're right. You're right about everything you said.
18:08You're gonna become WWE Champion again.
18:11This time around, just remember that you had a little help along the way.
18:14I don't forget.
18:18Cause I'm the greatest ain't no hatin', I'm the best.
18:23Carmelo Hayes!
18:28Damien Priest!
18:30To get back to the very top.
18:43And everything he's been saying, we heard it moments ago.
18:46He's dark, he's handsome, and he's got a little pizzazz in it.
18:50Years ago, at least in NXT, they ran.
18:53It was every man for himself after a trick.
18:55Jealousy.
18:56As Priest looks to take control early on.
18:59A few weeks ago on SmackDown, and indeed it's Saturday night.
19:02Back in January between these two.
19:04Sami Zayn, so...
19:06You can't be the guy unless you can put a guy like Priest away.
19:09Oh, champ!
19:10Oh, wow!
19:11He went from chokeslam to onto his heel!
19:13It didn't quite work.
19:14Well, speaking of athleticism.
19:17Facebuster of Carmelo Hayes.
19:19Could he do it right here?
19:21Damien Priest or Trick Williams will be next.
19:24Biggest of his career so far.
19:26To get himself into that WrestleMania in a World Championship match.
19:30Trick Williams at a time a few years ago.
19:32Oh, as he just drops his head.
19:35But no doubt about that, has massive opponents while punching him in the mouth.
19:40It's that nimble-sided Trick Williams we've seen time and time.
19:43Three, four, five, six!
19:46And now Williams looking to rid the ring of Carmelo Hayes.
19:49Champion now enters the fray.
19:52Springboard!
19:53Can't win it on the outside.
19:54Oh!
19:56Wants every bit of it!
19:58Right on top!
20:00Damien Priest looking groggy as Hal and Pound.
20:02Superstar when they are out the upper half.
20:04Oh, man!
20:06As Trick Williams, and into the hook of the leg.
20:09Most athletic, most dangerous man in the business.
20:13He will draw non-stop to the ring as you heard in moments.
20:17Oh, he followed him right!
20:18Oh!
20:19Watch out!
20:23Oh!
20:24Right into the front of the desk!
20:26Oh!
20:27Oh, man!
20:28Oh, man!
20:28Williams!
20:31Well, that connected.
20:32Razor's edge!
20:34Your eyes are...
20:34No!
20:35Oh!
20:35One, two, three, four!
20:37Williams in the triple threat.
20:39Two massive kicks.
20:41Bad way now.
20:42Helping hand and delivers.
20:45Trick says, hold on a second.
20:46That's mine!
20:47Looking to steal it!
20:49What a counter by Carmelo Hayes that delivers.
20:53Carmelo Hayes just looking a step ahead.
20:55They go!
20:56First 48!
20:58He comes...
21:00Oh!
21:00Oh!
21:02Trick shot!
21:05Delivered!
21:05The end!
21:09But put Trick Williams in the mix.
21:13Don't touch it down!
21:14Shut up!
21:15Shut up!
21:15Shut up!
21:15Shut up!
21:17It's no good idea!
21:19Just start beating.
21:20I'll tell you what I told everyone else.
21:21I don't know what's in the...
21:23Okay?
21:24You need a psychiatrist.
21:26This is your fault!
21:27What do you mean?
21:27It's on your job!
21:28You let me be at ringside.
21:29So, yes, this is your...
21:30Axioms Mask.
21:31Jordan, do you need something?
21:32Yes, do you have a minute?
21:33Yeah, absolutely.
21:34You're new here?
21:35Important business happening.
21:36Okay?
21:37Wait your turn.
21:37No important.
21:38You're gonna have a problem bigger than your shell of a husband if you talk to me like that again.
21:42Seems like the two of you have some frustration.
21:44Why don't we take them out on each other next week in a match?
21:47Get down from there!
21:48We're going home!
21:54Julia!
21:54Julia!
21:56Juan!
21:58Yes?
21:59Get up.
22:00Oh.
22:01You back?
22:03I'm actually in line behind two others.
22:05Mm-hmm.
22:06Two others.
22:06Who's the...
22:07Did you forget?
22:08You done injured me, making me sit at home for months.
22:11You ain't stupid.
22:12Oh, yeah?
22:13No.
22:13Fuck!
22:14It's better if we bruise that ego, hurt that pride, and then she don't gotta worry about WrestleMania.
22:19Whatever.
22:31Rhea Ripley!
22:34All of that incident will be taking place next week on SmackDown, but for this week...
22:39The night before Elimination Chamber.
22:43The Upset, winning the Triple Threat earlier tonight.
22:46So, we had some major crosswords last week in the aftermath of the Elimination Chamber.
22:51Of course, Julia, but Ripley simply too strong.
22:54No.
22:54Too much left in the tank for each one.
22:56Rhea and Eos for the pinfall.
22:58This one works out, and yes!
22:59Oh, it does!
23:00Julia, able to escape it, and then slam.
23:03Sky got her qualifier this Monday on Raw.
23:07And this is just Mammy finding those extra gears now.
23:11Oh!
23:12Impact echoing throughout.
23:14Amaran!
23:14Bank Arena!
23:15Julia just did, and over-exerting her.
23:18This is a Julia with an extra drive in her tonight.
23:22Julia is battling with tonight as Rhea looks to turn things around.
23:26Angry version of Julia.
23:30Just locking up her arms.
23:32Oh, that would be the madness part.

26:42homeowner tamatonga is there
27:04it is typical ambiguity the words were come out of the mouth of alistair but i'm not quite sure what
27:10he
27:11means 400 plus here at the home to the stanley cup champion florida
27:20orton for once met his match there with alistair black
27:27and how about a bonus strike
27:33difficulty in staying one step ahead of randy orton tonight oh man the impact and he delivers on
27:42exactly what they want how about three trying to scramble away is alistair black of how oh become the
27:52major name shut up alistair black earlier tonight main event as randy orton has been in complete
27:57control randy orton is this distraction may be pivotal oh and it pays off he was getting absolutely
28:04nothing in this man but you also want to try 100 ahead of elimination chamber and that was a late
28:12kick out
28:12alistair black came up short
28:17feet and knees of alistair black here's alistair black hook of the leg
28:22so he desperately trying to break that rhythm is black and he's a little unsteady on his feet for a
28:27moment
28:27well if you want to be in some main events around here able to counter back suplex
28:34in the world there is simply no accounting for power and randy that scoop snap power slam oh big kick
28:43i mean the temple of order and orton struggling but oh man oh man oh man the impact and now
28:52orton's
28:52gonna toss him right back in oh drew mcintyre just comes in here comes cody here comes cody clearly
29:01sweeped his way back in black mass
29:09and drew mcintyre on anyone who is in the elimination chamber mate eight days away from elimination chamber
