00:00:00WWE.com slash WWE Live Europe.
00:00:04That is gonna be awesome in Torino on May 31st.
00:00:07Man, we had so much fun in Bologna last year, Joe.
00:00:11I am so happy we are going back to Italy.
00:00:14What a crowd they were last time.
00:00:16Let's beat it this time.
00:00:17On eight days, Tiffany Stratton is gonna be in the Elimination Chamber.
00:00:21Recent former champ determined to get back to WrestleMania in a championship match.
00:00:26To Chelsea Green.
00:00:29Yes.
00:00:29Here we go, Joe.
00:00:30Pledge.
00:00:31Make the pledge.
00:00:34Stan.
00:00:34What a wheelchair.
00:00:36Oh.
00:00:38Really?
00:00:40And here come the Chelsea Chronicles again.
00:00:43I know you all want to cry, but we have to be professional at the desk.
00:00:47This is a tragedy before our eyes.
00:00:52And her opponent, accompanied by one half of a mixed AAA tag team champion,
00:00:57Jesse Green from Johnson, Scotland, Alba Tire.
00:01:04She's distributing her own newspapers with headlines of this injury.
00:01:38Yeah, and people are laughing off the headlines.
00:01:39He's basically suffered a broken ankle during the match.
00:01:43Has that been diagnosed?
00:01:44Really?
00:01:45Yeah, I actually have the official diagnosis here from our medical staff.
00:01:49Chelsea suffered a 10th degree bone break.
00:01:52A 10th degree?
00:01:53I didn't even know that.
00:02:21I don't know where to go with that line.
00:02:23Chelsea ended up with this injury to the ankle.
00:02:29You know full well, Tiffany Stratton is desperate to get back to challenging for world championship
00:02:36goal.
00:02:37Perhaps against Jade Cargill, the woman who took the gold from her in the first place.
00:02:41We'll see if she can win at the chamber.
00:02:44We'll see how that all plays out a lot up in the air at the moment in the women's division
00:02:48as we are on the hunt for those WrestleMania spots.
00:02:52It's incredible to see the upset that Kiana James pulled off just moments ago against Charlotte
00:02:57Flair and Nia Jax as you see Tiffany Stratton coming in.
00:03:01Of course, Tiffany the first to qualify for the women's elimination chamber.
00:03:05We're going to put away Alba Fire here.
00:03:07So Tiffany, Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, and Kiana James win.
00:03:12That's the shocker.
00:03:13I'm very interested to see how Kiana does in that particular matchup, but the spots are
00:03:17filling up rapidly.
00:03:19One left.
00:03:19We'll find out on Raw who fills that one.
00:03:22But right now, it is all about Tiffany Stratton and Alba Fire just cannot get anything going
00:03:27here.
00:03:27Springboarding right into him.
00:03:30Coming down with all that pressure on Alba Fire.
00:03:32Yeah, on Monday, it'll be EO and Raquel and Kyrie Sane in the final qualifier.
00:03:38We're just eight days away from elimination chamber.
00:03:41Shoulders are down.
00:03:42Clearly, Tiffany Stratton is hitting top form at exactly the time of year you want to be.
00:03:47In a combination.
00:03:48Alba Fire just cannot find a single answer.
00:03:51And this is a veteran Alba Fire who has dominated levels in NXT in Europe and in Japan.
00:03:58And finally gets a little something going.
00:04:00Maybe the rake of the eyes there to Tiffany Stratton.
00:04:03But regardless, it was effective and finally stemmed that flow of offense that was coming
00:04:08the way of Alba Fire.
00:04:09And yeah, we're all impressed by that, Chelsea.
00:04:12Chelsea looks on in the wheelchair.
00:04:15And it's Alba Fire.
00:04:16Tries to take control here against Tiffany Stratton.
00:04:29That was a hot pace being set early on by Tiffany Stratton, the recent former WWE Women's Champion.
00:04:38And then Alba Fire just was able to quell that.
00:04:42You're absolutely right.
00:04:43It was a hot pace and a lot of times that will swarm an inexperienced athlete and it will be
00:04:48a short match.
00:04:49But Alba Fire kept enough in the tank to ride it out, wait for one mistake and then pounce.
00:04:55And that is a veteran display right now.
00:04:57And now is the time for the punishment beating.
00:05:02Chelsea Green has to be loving this, not this bit.
00:05:05Tiffany, we're going to put her away.
00:05:08Just beating to the punch on that one once again by Alba Fire.
00:05:11Hook away by Alba.
00:05:16Chelsea enjoying what she's seeing right now.
00:05:19Sorry, was that walk-boot bedazzledly?
00:05:21Did I see ornamental decorations on that?
00:05:23If it's Chelsea Green, it's going to be done with style.
00:05:26This is a fashion leader.
00:05:28I know you know nothing about fashion, Joe Test, despite being an Italian.
00:05:33You're the first Italian ever who has no fashion sense.
00:05:36But clearly you can learn a trick or two from the bedazzled Chelsea Green.
00:05:40The nature of fashion houses, of course, in front of Italy, but we'll go with the bedazzled walking boot.
00:05:46You should get a bedazzled suit in tribute to Chelsea Green and her broken...
00:05:52Building no tribute.
00:05:53Friday Night SmackDown has been roaring all night long here.
00:05:56Amaranth Bank Arena, 11,400 plus.
00:06:01As we've been talking about the Elimination Chamber being eight days away,
00:06:05had an incredible qualifying match, a triple threat that was won by Kiana James.
00:06:11This match in front of us here is really the back end of Alba Fire and Chelsea Green
00:06:16trying to get back for what happened in a qualifying match a couple weeks ago.
00:06:20Yeah, what happened, Joe Test?
00:06:21Here's what happened.
00:06:23Chelsea Green was savagely attacked by Stephanie Stratton, destroying the ankle.
00:06:29It almost had to be amputated, apparently.
00:06:32Who are you getting your medical updates from?
00:06:35Chelsea Green and the Chelsea Chronicle.
00:06:37It's all in there, Joe.
00:06:39You should try reading it sometime, please.
00:06:43Who's the editor-in-chief of that?
00:06:45Somebody's sitting in a bedazzled wheelchair.
00:06:47I don't know who it is, but they deserve a pay right.
00:06:49Ask her, referee!
00:06:52Ask her if she quits!
00:06:54See the newspaper bag hanging off with the wheelchair there.
00:06:57She's been tossing out that fake news every time she comes down to the ring.
00:07:01Oh, not fake news.
00:07:01It's the shit.
00:07:02It's right off a photocopy machine.
00:07:04I mean, she...
00:07:08And this has suddenly turned into an incredibly dominant display by Alba Fire,
00:07:14and people who've been studying the game of Alba Fire for the past 10 years
00:07:17will not be surprised by that whatsoever.
00:07:23Come on, Ace!
00:07:26Come on, Ace!
00:07:28Come on, Ace!
00:07:39Tiffany Stratton and Alba Fire going at it here on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:07:43Still to come, the Men's Elimination Chamber qualifying match
00:07:46with Carmelo Hayes and Damian Priest and Kirk Williams,
00:07:48and then Randy Orton and Aleister Black in the main event
00:07:52as Tiffany Stratton looks to rally back against Alba.
00:07:56Well, Tiffany has taken a hell of a beating over the past three or four minutes in this one.
00:08:00And finally getting a little something the opposite direction,
00:08:02but immediately back on top is the veteran Alba Fire.
00:08:09And Alba Fire is on a major mission tonight
00:08:12to punish Tiffany Stratton,
00:08:14who is the prime reason why Chelsea Green is currently incapacitated
00:08:20in a wheelchair, unable to stand.
00:08:22How can you pinpoint her as the moment that an injury happened in that qualifying match?
00:08:27You point the finger at her and say she's the prime reason?
00:08:30Because I can't even recall the injury taking place in that match.
00:08:33We called it.
00:08:34It happened really fast.
00:08:35If you blink, you missed it,
00:08:36but I saw it and it was dastardly from Tiffany Stratton.
00:08:40And Chelsea Green looks on and now sees Alba Fire
00:08:44in a world of hurt
00:08:46against all the talent of Tiffany Stratton
00:08:49to put her away right here.
00:08:51By again, absolutely ragdolled in there.
00:08:54Almost a brainbuster-like move from the second row.
00:08:57Really, really ugly landing
00:08:59for the Scotswoman, followed up by this.
00:09:04This move that was slammed down hard on the knee
00:09:06of Tiffany Stratton just about kicking out,
00:09:09clinging on,
00:09:10and now the cogs are whirring in the mind
00:09:12of Tiffany Stratton.
00:09:14How do I put this one to bed?
00:09:16Chelsea with a surrender called Propose
00:09:19as she sits there in the wheelchair.
00:09:21Well, you'd surrender too if you had a leg broken.
00:09:25Broken? Do you really believe...
00:09:27You can see the cast, Joe.
00:09:30Looking for the cart where Alabama Slam
00:09:32instead turned around by Alba Fire.
00:09:34Gory special connects.
00:09:37And with that, Alba Fire looks to close this out.
00:09:41Alba's had a lot taken out,
00:09:43but took a couple of beats to get that pin
00:09:45and just enough in the tank
00:09:46of Tiffany Stratton to kick Alba.
00:09:49Chelsea senses it like the rest of us,
00:09:52inching closer to victory
00:09:53is Alba Fire of the Secret Herbers.
00:09:58Look at the power of Stratton.
00:10:02Slam up him, a slam, and Stratton
00:10:04now heading up to where she likes it best.
00:10:08But instead of the prettiest moonsault ever,
00:10:11it is fire pushing her out to the floor.
00:10:13Alba Fire just a little too fast now.
00:10:16And I'm scared for the safety of Chelsea Green
00:10:18in that wheelchair.
00:10:19He's fine.
00:10:20The woman who destroyed her leg
00:10:22has been in rather close proximity,
00:10:24and that's why you hire the Secret Herbers.
00:10:26Oh, no!
00:10:26Oh, met with a big right hand.
00:10:29Well, she's out of the wheelchair, Wade.
00:10:32It's a miracle.
00:10:33Maybe it's not a broken leg is what it is.
00:10:35Oh, and look at Tiffany Stratton
00:10:37trying to attack an invalid.
00:10:38How dare you, Tiffany!
00:10:41Unbelievable.
00:10:41Alba Fire comes flying through.
00:10:44Yeah, the not-so-secret Herbers
00:10:46doing its job once again.
00:10:48Nice job, Alba.
00:10:49Now to put Stratton to the sword
00:10:51once and for all.
00:10:55Fire.
00:10:56Salute!
00:10:56Feeling in control.
00:11:02Up top on the top rope is Alba.
00:11:05Knees got up.
00:11:06Tiffany Stratton got her knees up.
00:11:10That swan's on from the top.
00:11:11Just took a beat too long.
00:11:13Nice connection there
00:11:14with the knees to the lower back of Stratton.
00:11:18Well scouted by Alba Fire.
00:11:20Tiffany just throws her away
00:11:22at that moment.
00:11:24And now Stratton
00:11:26as she looks to take control.
00:11:28Going back up top.
00:11:30Prettiest moonsault ever.
00:11:33One, two, three.
00:11:39Here is your winner,
00:11:41Tiffany Stratton!
00:11:44Get a good look at Chelsea Green
00:11:46because that's exactly what you see
00:11:47in most Florida airports
00:11:48when you're boarding,
00:11:49you're playing
00:11:50a lineup of wheelchairs
00:11:51that you question, Wade.
00:11:54Nonsense.
00:11:55But I don't question this.
00:11:57The prettiest moonsault ever
00:11:59which is the most accurately named move
00:12:01in the history
00:12:03of professional wrestling.
00:12:05Much to the despair
00:12:06of Chelsea Green.
00:12:08Get well soon, Chelsea.
00:12:10As Tiffany Stratton
00:12:11rolls on towards
00:12:12the elimination chamber
00:12:13next week.
00:12:15Don't get her away!
00:12:24Hey, Sam, how you doing?
00:12:28Not good, man.
00:12:30Hey, listen.
00:12:31I know
00:12:33some bad luck at the Royal Rumble
00:12:34last week, hell of a match,
00:12:36but that could have gone anyway.
00:12:39You have nothing
00:12:40to be ashamed of.
00:12:42Yeah, I know
00:12:43I have nothing to be ashamed of.
00:12:45If anybody should be ashamed
00:12:47of themselves here,
00:12:48it's you.
00:12:51I should be ashamed of myself?
00:12:52Yeah, yeah, Cody.
00:12:53Yeah.
00:12:53Drew McIntyre gets involved
00:12:55in our match.
00:12:55I see you getting beat down.
00:12:57I help you.
00:12:58I try to help you.
00:13:00I do right by you.
00:13:01I try to do the right thing,
00:13:02and how do you repay me?
00:13:03You stick me
00:13:04with a crossroads,
00:13:05and you punch your ticket
00:13:06to the elimination chamber.
00:13:08You put a knife
00:13:08in my back, Cody.
00:13:09Sammy, that's your perspective
00:13:11what happened.
00:13:12That was chaos.
00:13:13The match wasn't over.
00:13:14The bell hadn't rung.
00:13:14The whistle hadn't blown.
00:13:16Yeah, you fell back
00:13:17into a crossroads.
00:13:17It's an opportunity
00:13:18I took advantage of.
00:13:20Sure, sure.
00:13:20And those opportunities,
00:13:21they don't just plop
00:13:22in your lap, Sammy.
00:13:23Those are the opportunities
00:13:24that when they've come to you,
00:13:26you haven't taken advantage
00:13:27of them,
00:13:28and that's why you haven't
00:13:29become WWE champion.
00:13:34There it is.
00:13:36That's real easy for you to say
00:13:38when you're the golden boy.
00:13:41Right?
00:13:42QB1, everything always comes up.
00:13:44Aces for Cody Rhodes.
00:13:46You got to finish your story,
00:13:48Cody.
00:13:49You were chosen.
00:13:50Nobody chose me.
00:13:51I've been trying to finish my story
00:13:52for 10 damn years.
00:13:54You understand?
00:13:56No, you don't.
00:13:57Of course you don't understand
00:13:58because you don't know
00:13:59what it's like to constantly
00:14:00go out there and try to do
00:14:01the right thing every single time
00:14:03and have it blow up in your face.
00:14:04I don't know what it's like
00:14:05to do the right thing
00:14:06and have it blow up in your face.
00:14:07Where were you in Germany
00:14:08when I did exactly that?
00:14:10Three stages of hell.
00:14:11Jacob Fatou showed up.
00:14:13I tried to do the right thing
00:14:14and it cost me
00:14:15and it cost me everything.
00:14:17So don't lecture me
00:14:18about struggle, Sammy.
00:14:20I could walk you
00:14:21in the locker room right now
00:14:22and every one of those guys
00:14:24I bet you could beat.
00:14:25It's not me.
00:14:26It's not the system.
00:14:27The only thing in your way
00:14:30is you.
00:14:43Damn!
00:14:46I mean,
00:14:46with friends like Cody Rhodes,
00:14:48who needs enemies?
00:14:49I'll tell you what, big dog.
00:14:51Let me give you some advice.
00:14:53I'm going to do something tonight
00:14:54that you couldn't do.
00:14:57Let's get the job done.
00:15:02Let's talk about it.
00:15:09Cody!
00:15:11Cody!
00:15:12Hey!
00:15:13Cody!
00:15:20Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:15:21It's fine.
00:15:23No, I'm sorry.
00:15:25I'm not doing great, okay?
00:15:27But you're right.
00:15:27You're right about everything you said.
00:15:29Look,
00:15:31you're going to become
00:15:31WWE Champion again.
00:15:33It's a matter of when,
00:15:34not if.
00:15:34Everybody knows it, okay?
00:15:37This time around,
00:15:37just remember
00:15:39that you had a little help
00:15:40along the way.
00:15:42Okay?
00:15:44I don't forget.
00:16:11The following contest is the
00:16:13Elimination Chamber Qualifier
00:16:16Triple Threat Match
00:16:17Introducing first
00:16:19from Boston, Massachusetts
00:16:20weighing in at 210 pounds
00:16:23he is
00:16:24the United States Champion
00:16:26Carmelo Hayes!
00:16:30The loaded Elimination Chamber
00:16:32needs another man.
00:16:34Melo against his former
00:16:35close friend Rick Williams
00:16:36and Damian Preece
00:16:37next.
00:16:37I'm the greatest
00:16:38ain't no hatin',
00:16:39I'm the best hit
00:16:40You want your shot?
00:16:41Well, I guess you wait
00:16:42till next year
00:16:43Come in!
00:16:44You want your shot?
00:16:52You want your shot?
00:17:01You want your shot?
00:17:03You want your shot?
00:17:04You want your shot?
00:17:06You want your shot?
00:17:09You want your shot?
00:17:10You want your shot?
00:17:11You want your shot?
00:17:13You want your shot?
00:17:13You want your shot?
00:17:14You want your shot?
00:17:44One final time returns home to Atlanta, Georgia.
00:17:46It'll be this Monday at 8 Eastern, 5 Pacific, only on Netflix.
00:17:51That's going to be so special when he addresses the WWE Universe.
00:17:55One final time, the great AJ Styles.
00:17:59Well, there's Mello, and lately in all these U.S. title defenses,
00:18:02he's been accurate in saying, Mello, don't miss.
00:18:04Now he's called his shot in a different way,
00:18:07setting a course to elimination chamber.
00:18:10Look who he's up against here.
00:18:11I mean, this is some triple threat.
00:18:14Yeah.
00:18:42They're going to be right.
00:18:57You know, Wade, you've brought this up a few times for other superstars.
00:19:02When you know what it's like to hold gold at WrestleMania,
00:19:05you're even more desperate to have that feeling again.
00:19:10Yeah, so if you've never been to the top of the mountain
00:19:13and 95% of the locker room are in that category,
00:19:17then you really want to get there.
00:19:20When you've been to the top of the mountain,
00:19:22like Damian Priest has as a former World Heavyweight Champion,
00:19:26you expect to be there.
00:19:28Suddenly your position in the card, at least in your mind, has changed forever.
00:19:33So I promise you, since losing that World Heavyweight Championship last year,
00:19:37Damian Priest has been on a tear, on a mission to get back to the very top.
00:19:43But right now, just like everyone else in this match,
00:19:46he is two wins away from booking himself a World Championship match at WrestleMania.
00:19:55With your love and VIP!
00:20:01And that is so many, it's so many of you, it's so many members of the world.
00:20:02That is so many people, as you may be here,
00:20:04we will be here.
00:20:09And that is so many people, because a lot of you are going to be here for 5-4-5
00:20:10-5.
00:20:10And that is so many people.
00:20:11There's a lot of you, you know,
00:20:11We're talking about a first time here,
00:20:12that's how many people are at the same time.
00:20:12And that is so many people.
00:20:13And that is that they actually are not trying to be there.
00:20:16Thank you so much for this.
00:20:16Woo-nessy, you know,
00:20:18We're not trying to get back to the same people,
00:20:20through the same people,
00:20:20We're not trying to be here.
00:20:49And their opponent
00:20:51from Columbia, South Carolina,
00:20:54weighing in at 249 pounds,
00:20:59Trick Williams!
00:21:03Well, few superstars have been more outspoken
00:21:06in and out of the ring than Trick Williams.
00:21:08Since his arrival weighed the smackdown,
00:21:11it just feels like things have changed
00:21:14around the locker room.
00:21:15And now he has to deliver on everything he's been saying.
00:21:18We heard him moments ago backstage.
00:21:21Just simply say, I'm going to get the job done.
00:21:25He's tall, he's dark, he's handsome,
00:21:27and he's got a little pizzazz,
00:21:29and it would seem like he's got the hottest chant
00:21:32in WWE history.
00:21:35Talk between Mellow and Trick here now formally.
00:21:40Years ago, at least in NXT,
00:21:42they ran together as a Trick and Mellow gang,
00:21:45ultimately a big falling out.
00:21:47It was every man for himself
00:21:49after Trick tried to negotiate
00:21:51some sort of partnership with Mellow here.
00:21:53Mellow was having none of it.
00:21:54Yeah, Damian Priest wasn't wasting time
00:21:56getting to work in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match,
00:21:59but you detail that they were best friends in NXT,
00:22:01and then the relationship fractured due to jealousy.
00:22:05As Priest looks to take control early on.
00:22:07Smart from Priest knows exactly what's at stake here.
00:22:11No time for chat.
00:22:13Clearly, Trick Williams sees the chat
00:22:15at a slightly different light.
00:22:17Two big men with such athleticism and power.
00:22:21These two know each other pretty well already.
00:22:23We saw them do battle a few weeks ago on SmackDown,
00:22:26and indeed at Saturday night's main event in that four-way.
00:22:30A rather heavy-handed affair between those two in the past,
00:22:34and since we've started exactly the same way here.
00:22:37You mentioned what happened back in January between these two.
00:22:40There was interference from Sami Zayn,
00:22:42so that was a no contest
00:22:45when Trick Williams and Damian Priest
00:22:47ended up together in the ring back then.
00:22:49I'll tell you right now,
00:22:50the onus really is on Mallow and Trick
00:22:53to beat the veteran Damian Priest here,
00:22:56former World Heavyweight champ.
00:22:58He's been in the Elimination Chamber before.
00:23:00It's a big prove-it moment
00:23:01for a couple of guys in Trick and Mallow
00:23:04who both want to be the guy right here on SmackDown.
00:23:09Well, you can't be the guy
00:23:10unless you can put a guy like Priest away.
00:23:12Priest has an edge to him tonight.
00:23:14Looking to advance to Chicago.
00:23:17And this is just that extra layer of confidence
00:23:20that being a former World Heavyweight champ
00:23:23gives you against a couple of relative newcomers,
00:23:25and I appreciate that Mallow is a United States champ.
00:23:29Oh, wow, he went from joke slam to onto his heels.
00:23:32It's crazy athleticism for a 6'5", 250-pound Trick Williams
00:23:36who didn't quite work.
00:23:38Well, speaking of athleticism,
00:23:40Carmelo Hayes rolls off the back,
00:23:43springboards, and takes out Trick Williams.
00:23:45Yeah, no surprise with that athleticism from Mallow,
00:23:48and that missed the cat connects.
00:23:50Oh, that turtle-to-whirls spinning face buster
00:23:53of Carmelo Hayes,
00:23:54but Damian Priest,
00:23:56could he do it right here?
00:23:59And left shoulder up from Mallow.
00:24:10Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett with you here
00:24:13on Friday Night SmackDown,
00:24:15the road to WrestleMania.
00:24:17Now the road is closing in on Chicago.
00:24:20Eight days from now,
00:24:22it'll be Elimination Chamber.
00:24:24Four men have punched their ticket
00:24:26to that golden opportunity there in Chicago.
00:24:29We're here to see if Carmelo Hayes,
00:24:31Damian Priest,
00:24:32or Trick Williams will be next.
00:24:34Trick has been on one hell of a streak here
00:24:36since his debut and on SmackDown.
00:24:38Another big victory last week against Rey Fenix,
00:24:40but this would perhaps be the biggest of his career so far
00:24:44to get himself into that Elimination Chamber match
00:24:47and an opportunity of booking his ticket
00:24:50for WrestleMania in a World Championship match.
00:24:53But Mallow has other ideas.
00:24:58So Carmelo Hayes,
00:24:59who is laser-focused
00:25:01not only on keeping his United States Championship,
00:25:04but also adding to it
00:25:05by winning the Chamber
00:25:07and then going on
00:25:08and winning World Championship gold
00:25:10at WrestleMania,
00:25:11becoming a champ-champ.
00:25:14Looking for the quick one right here.
00:25:17And right back to it is Trick.
00:25:21These two know each other so well.
00:25:23At one point,
00:25:24Carmelo Hayes was kind of the in-ring mentor
00:25:26to Trick Williams.
00:25:27Trick Williams at the time,
00:25:28a few years ago,
00:25:29brand new to the industry.
00:25:31Double knockdown
00:25:32with trading right hands.
00:25:35You can see Mallow
00:25:36checking his teeth.
00:25:38Mirror images
00:25:39of each other
00:25:40on the offensive assault.
00:25:41And when you've dropped each other,
00:25:43the last thing you want
00:25:44is the massive Damian Priest
00:25:46prowling around the ring,
00:25:47picking out who he's going to take down.
00:25:50Priest.
00:25:52Oh, as he just drops his head
00:25:54on that hard edge of the apron.
00:25:56You saw Mallow
00:25:57trying to negotiate his way
00:25:59off the shoulder of Priest
00:26:00and Priest just had too much power
00:26:01and said,
00:26:02no, no, not today.
00:26:07Big right hand
00:26:08from Damian Priest,
00:26:09one of the best strikers
00:26:10in the game.
00:26:11Yeah, no doubt about that.
00:26:12Has massive limb length.
00:26:14You see the huge frame
00:26:15where those limbs
00:26:15are crazy long
00:26:16and he knows exactly
00:26:18how to maximize his range.
00:26:20Keep himself away
00:26:21from opponents
00:26:22while punching him
00:26:22in the mouth.
00:26:24Trick Williams
00:26:25turning things around quickly.
00:26:27It's that nimble side
00:26:28of Trick Williams
00:26:29who's seen time and time again
00:26:30unfeasible movement
00:26:32for a heavyweight
00:26:33but movement
00:26:33is the Carmelo Hayes story.
00:26:35Might be the best move
00:26:36that I have ever seen
00:26:37in this industry.
00:26:39He's right up there
00:26:39with the best in history.
00:26:47One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:27:03Jumping TDT.
00:27:06And now Williams
00:27:07looking to rid
00:27:08the ring
00:27:08of Carmelo Hayes.
00:27:19what a great scene here in sunrise florida for friday night smackdown so much on the line the
00:27:25men's elimination chamber qualifying match trip williams and damian priest in the ring right now
00:27:31the triple threat is carmelo hayes the united states champion now enters the fray springboard
00:27:38and delivers just pinpoint perfection once again from carmelo hayes and sadly for mellow both
00:27:46opponents rolling out of the ring can't win it on the outside oh mellow not slowing down picking up
00:27:53the pace just when it counts man that running shotgun drop kick as trick williams was draped
00:28:00across the timekeeper barrier and now mellow wants every bit of it right on top of
00:28:08priest with the splash damian priest looking groggy as hell and pouncing at the right moment was carmelo
00:28:14hayes almost getting the job done with that frog splash take another look at this you can see
00:28:20damian priest was trying his best to get out of danger just didn't have enough left in the tank
00:28:25we're getting out of trouble at least for now you can see how effective damian priest is as
00:28:31carmelo hayes is tracking him on the outside it's also frustrating for a superstar when they are
00:28:38at the upper oh man interception trick williams
00:28:43unique swinging leg of egg just about catching carmelo hayes as carmelo was hitting top gear
00:28:52and you can hear the crowd chanting whoop that trick
00:28:59as trick williams the uranagi and into the hook of the leg
00:29:05once again you can see carmelo trying his best to evade that move but trick was having none of it
00:29:10it's like a second bite of that book and it connected carmelo hayes in big trouble here
00:29:16what it takes self-boasting most entertaining most athletic most dangerous man in the business
00:29:22is trying to showcase everything he's about
00:29:27talking
00:29:33he would draw non-stop in the ring as you heard moments ago and now mellow
00:29:39oh he followed a break he knew what was coming there's a little surprise attack there from trick
00:29:45williams and uh-oh watch out
00:29:53oh right into the front of the desk desk is absolutely trashed imagine what the ribs of
00:29:59damian priest feel like but now trick spots victory coming
00:30:06trick williams got him lined up but instead
00:30:12oh
00:30:16oh man oh man oh man trick williams
00:30:22well that connected flush with full momentum and trick williams cannot quite believe
00:30:28that that did not get the victory
00:30:33he brings that trick kick
00:30:36very few survive it but somehow the u.s champion did
00:30:45and with damian priest down and maybe out it behooves trick williams and indeed
00:30:50carmelo hayes to try and finish the job now and that is exactly what trick williams intends to do
00:30:59oh damian back on his feet yeah back into the mix world heavyweight champion level endurance right
00:31:06that shrugging off the pain of that desk landing and now razors edge
00:31:13to advance to elimination chamber and that right shoulder somehow is able to get up but don't take your
00:31:22eyes off no because he's nothing but net williams in the triple threat makes the save to keep things alive
00:31:33so every man has brought his best and every man is laid out in the ring what a scene here
00:31:43on smackdown
00:31:45all three of these in incredibly bad shape this deep into the matchup but that's all you need for motivation
00:31:52crack an eye open see that wrestlemania sign and realize you are two victories away tonight is one
00:31:59the next one being elimination chamber and you are going to the dance it is in eight days in chicago

00:32:17don't know
00:32:18how wise of carmelo hayes it was to be traded with the bigger stronger trick williams but somehow carmelo
00:32:24hayes is hanging in there with him oh priest two massive kicks the knee the spinning effort and now
00:32:35the striking attack of damian priest earlier one of the best strikers in the game double attack in
00:32:44response and priest looking in a real bad way now helping hand and delivers crossbody lateral press
00:32:52trick says hold on a second that's mine looking to steal it mellow rips his hand away from hooking the
00:32:59leg
00:33:06you don't get freebies when it comes to the elimination chamber and an opportunity at wrestlemania
00:33:13what a counter by carmelo hayes that delivers the kick and now he's looking to advance right here right now
00:33:19carmelo hayes just looking a step ahead this deep in the match but watch out look at this
00:33:25shoulders down by weight of williams back and forth they go first 48 carmelo hayes is in prime
00:33:34position to do it well he's looking to go up top that is a long way across the ring but
00:33:40if anyone can
00:33:41make it make it carmelo hayes certainly can never doubt him he comes with a massive right hand
00:33:52and now a razor's edge oh the trick shot delivered and could that be it
00:34:06here is your winner trick williams just when damian priest thought he had it all lined up
00:34:15that big powerful running jumping pump knee from trick williams let's talk about it oh yeah trick
00:34:25willie just bumped his ticket for the elimination chamber and this was mellow going in for the big one
00:34:32out of the corner of his eye what does he see a big swing from damian priest the priest going
00:34:37for
00:34:37that razor's edge caught with one trick shot going with two trick shots and trick willie did exactly

00:42:05You ain't stupid.
00:42:07Yeah.
00:42:07Oh, yeah?
00:42:07No.
00:42:07Fuck.
00:42:08I actually think it's better if she doesn't see it coming.
00:42:11You right.
00:42:12I wasn't gonna hit her.
00:42:12I just wanna see her scared.
00:42:13It's better if we bruise that ego, hurt that pride, take that title, and then she don't gotta worry about
00:42:20WrestleMania.
00:42:23Whatever.
00:42:28Meet in with that Pendo.
00:42:29Julia was enraged a week ago.
00:42:32Came up short in her Elimination Chamber qualifier.
00:42:35Alexa Bliss won that.
00:42:36This is what we're seeking!
00:42:49This is what we're seeking!
00:42:53This is what we dream!
00:43:05And her opponent, from Adelaide, South Australia.
00:43:10She is one half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, Rhea Ripley.
00:43:20Who never backs down from a challenge.
00:43:23Hey, a week ago, of course, tag team champions,
00:43:27Theo and Rhea were in a brutal championship match and dissolved in the chaos wave.
00:43:31Yeah, against Nightyjax and Lash Legend,
00:43:34both teams came close to victory on several occasions,
00:43:38but eventually the competitors completely lost focus on the victory part,
00:43:43and a devastating brawl ensued.
00:43:46Absolutely nowhere was safe as tables were broken,
00:43:50then security barriers were broken, the ref threw this whole thing out.
00:43:54And of course, ultimately, the bodies of four competitors were completely broken too.
00:44:00Now, the rematch of that incident will be taking place next week on SmackDown,
00:44:05but for this week, Rhea Ripley has some singles to deal with.
00:44:09That's going to be so much fun.
00:44:10There it is next week in Louisville, Kentucky,
00:44:13the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match.
00:44:17Rhea Ripley, EO Sky against the Irresistible Forces next week.
00:44:23And we are back on the U.S.A. next week.
00:44:28Olympic schedule comes to an end, so U.S.A. Network next week for Friday Night SmackDown,
00:44:35the night before Elimination Chamber.
00:44:40Elimination Chamber that on the women's side, speaking of Nia Jax,
00:44:45now includes Kiana James, who pulled off the upset,
00:44:50winning the triple threat earlier tonight here in Florida over Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax.
00:44:57So, we had some major crosswords last week in the aftermath of that,
00:45:01that tag melee that we saw a few moments ago.
00:45:05Julia and Kiana James talked a little smack to our tag champs, EO and Rhea Ripley,
00:45:10clearly very unhappy with each other.
00:45:13Now, you also mentioned not so long ago, Joe,
00:45:15that Julia lost her opportunity to qualify for the Elimination Chamber.
00:45:19Of course, Julia and Kiana James lost their tag opportunity
00:45:24against the tag champs a couple of weeks ago.
00:45:27So, Julia highly irate at the moment.
00:45:30And this, right from the off, has been a very, very aggressive version of Julia,
00:45:35who is not backing down to the intimidating Rhea Ripley.
00:45:39No, she's not at all.
00:45:40And that's Rhea with that strength and power.
00:45:43But Julia's got her locked up here.
00:45:45Mostly transitioning to that grovett-type move there,
00:45:48trying to choke out Rhea Ripley, but Ripley simply too strong.
00:45:53Too much left in the tank.
00:45:54Very difficult to disable Rhea Ripley this early in a matchup.
00:45:59And you mentioned what happened on February 6th,
00:46:01when Rhea and EO scored the pinfall on Julia in that tag team championship match.
00:46:05And then a week ago, when Rhea was commenting,
00:46:08oh, you must be mad about how Elimination Chamber qualifying went.
00:46:12Well, once again, attempt to think of the Tornado DDT there,
00:46:15but Ripley just holding on, refusing to go down,
00:46:17and now forcing this into a vertical suplex.
00:46:21We'll see if this one works out.
00:46:22And yeah!
00:46:23Oh, it does!
00:46:24As the delayed vertical suplex is delivered by Rhea.
00:46:28And just the one count.
00:46:29But you can see writhing in pain with her back is Julia.
00:46:32Yeah, I feel like suddenly Mammy's woken up and it's looking to finish this.
00:46:36Looking for Riptide right away.
00:46:38Julia able to escape it and then slam Ripley down.
00:46:41The yank of the hair referee wasn't too impressed, but it's done the job.
00:46:45Warning sent the way of Julia.
00:46:48But Julia now with a firm upper hand.
00:46:52Coming in hard to that corner.
00:46:54Julia really getting better as the weeks pass here on SmackDown,
00:46:57getting more and more comfortable in that ring.
00:47:00Drop kicks are all the way to the other corner.
00:47:03I mean, what a test this is against Rhea Ripley.
00:47:06So Rhea Ripley was already qualified for the Elimination Chamber.
00:47:10Io Sky got her qualifier this Monday on Raw.
00:47:15Presumably taking it easy tonight.
00:47:17Resting up ahead of that while Mammy does the damage.
00:47:19Io Sky against Raquel Rodriguez and Kairi Sane to determine
00:47:23the final spot in the Women's Elimination Chamber.
00:47:26That comes your way on Raw.
00:47:28And this is just Mammy finding those extra gears now.
00:47:33Oh!
00:47:34And that was one gear through Mammy's shoulder first into the post.
00:47:38Nice movement there from Julia and Rhea Ripley's in big trouble there.
00:47:43Boy, you could hear that impact echoing throughout.
00:47:45Ameren Bank Arena and then the steel steps.
00:47:49So Julia is in control against Rhea.
00:48:02Boy, Julia turns things around against Rhea quickly.
00:48:05Yeah, that's what you have to do against a bigger, stronger opponent.
00:48:09If you're smart enough, use their strength, use their momentum against them,
00:48:14bake them in as Julia just did.
00:48:16And over-exerting herself in that attack in the corner was Ripley,
00:48:20and Ripley ended up eating shoulder first the steel ring post.
00:48:28It's not often you see that.
00:48:30Shots of Rhea Ripley just bouncing off a competitor.
00:48:33This is a Julia with an extra drive in her tonight.
00:48:38Perhaps impressed by tag partner Kiana James qualifying for the Elimination Chamber and thinking,
00:48:43you know what, I'm going to try up staging her now.
00:48:47With a major singles victory against Rhea Ripley.
00:48:53Slamming her into the top of that barrier.
00:48:59See the emotion that Julia is battling with tonight as Rhea looks to turn things around.
00:49:05And with that barrier shot to Julia.
00:49:07Yeah, and I think Julia has been the picture of composure at times here since arriving on SmackDown.
00:49:14And I think the angry version of Julia is clearly peeling back the layers
00:49:19and finding something extra special here and really dominating Rhea Ripley.
00:49:25And it's rare you see anybody doing that.
00:49:29Just locking up her arms in between the ropes and pulling back.
00:49:34So let me check, is that the beautiful part or the madness part?
00:49:37Oh, that would be the madness part.
00:49:39I think you're right on that one.
00:49:41Rey's look in the eyes of the US champ.
00:49:46Who knows she's in full control of this one.
00:49:48And I don't think too many people would have predicted Rhea Ripley
00:49:52at the feet of Julia this easily in this matchup.
00:49:56The intensity of Julia that we are seeing here.
00:50:02I'm going to stretch her out here with all that leverage pulling back in the compromised position of the lower
00:50:08arm.
00:50:08Oh, my.
00:50:10Oh, that might be a knockout.
00:50:11That might be a knockout.
00:50:13Oh, the jaw of Ripley bouncing off the mat.
00:50:18I have no idea how Ripley kicked out there.
00:50:22With the force coming down with her leg and just slamming Ripley's head.
00:50:27And there is no respite whatsoever from these attacks from Julia,
00:50:31who is on a mission tonight.
00:50:34Well, I go as far as to say this is the best Julia has looked since arriving on SmackDown.
00:50:39Yeah.
00:50:43Complete control and making it look almost effortless.
00:50:48Oh.
00:50:51Oh.
00:50:53Oh, oh.
00:50:56Oh.
00:51:01Oh.
00:51:11Julia, the United States Champion, is in control here in this non-title match against Rhea Ripley.
00:51:16It's all the emotion of recent weeks that has boiled up in Julia,
00:51:20and we have seen plenty of spirit and fight energy.
00:51:23Came up fourth in the Elimination Chamber, qualifying Boston Attack Team Championship,
00:51:27and now taking it out on Rhea.
00:51:29Went for that Arrivederci, Rhea Ripley just about getting a hand up and blocking it in the nick of time,
00:51:36and Ripley has been taken to test tonight by Julia, but is still alive in this one and looking to
00:51:43turn things around.
00:51:47Center of the ring, Julia and Rhea Ripley, eight days away from Elimination Chamber.
00:51:53Rhea Ripley will be in it on the women's side.
00:51:56And Julia's tag team partner, Kiana James, that's one of the big stories of the night.
00:52:01She pulled the upset to punch her ticket to Elimination Chamber.
00:52:06And now, Mami.
00:52:08Here comes Rhea.
00:52:10For the first time in this match, Ripley looking to build some momentum after riding out a major storm from
00:52:16Julia.
00:52:17And boy, have things suddenly turned around here.
00:52:20Have they ever.
00:52:23That is the permanent threat that Rhea Ripley holds.
00:52:26Even when she looks beaten, there's still this lurking in the tank.
00:52:32The explosive offense from Ripley, and it is met by Julia.
00:52:37Yeah, there's absolutely no letter from Julia tonight.
00:52:40It's like a woman possessed in that ring.
00:52:42She's looking to lock her up in that underhook butterfly position of Rhea fighting back from that second rope and
00:52:51turn things around.
00:52:52And now she has Julia in a spot.
00:52:55Completely unprotected.
00:52:56Oh.
00:53:00And Ripley with such ease and returns the favor.
00:53:08Faceplant right off the shoulder.
00:53:10And Rhea Ripley looks almost furious with herself for allowing Julia to dominate so much of this match.
00:53:23And this could be it now, Joe.
00:53:25Oh, she's going for riptide, Wade.
00:53:27Rhea wants to end it right here as Julia fights back with a series of elbows.
00:53:32Well, Julia's done her homework.
00:53:33Knows how devastating that move is.
00:53:35Needs something in reply, and that'll do it.
00:53:37That's exactly what she looks to get here.
00:53:40And Arriva Durcini.
00:53:41Arriva Durcini.
00:53:44And Rhea survives it.
00:53:46But straight back on the attack is Julia again.
00:53:50Absolutely no let up.
00:53:52Could be a Northern Lights bomb right here.
00:53:54But instead, the headbutt from Rhea Ripley.
00:53:58And quickly into position for a row.
00:54:02Nia Jax has arrived.
00:54:09Remember what's going down next week in Louisville.
00:54:14The irresistible forces sending a major message now to 50% of the women's tag champs.
00:54:21Rhea Ripley, who is getting mugged in the ring, and backup is on his way.
00:54:28Here comes Io Sky, the other half of the tag team champions.
00:54:34Rhea Ripley, who is now navigating her way around Nia Jax.
00:54:39It's only half the puzzle here.
00:54:41The genius of the sky.
00:54:43And the show take uppercuts on Lash Legend.
00:54:46What a mismatch those two of them.
00:54:49Rhea clears the ring of Lash Legend.
00:54:57But their arrival put an end to a feisty match.
00:55:01They will meet with the tag team championships on the line next week in Louisville.
00:55:12Ova Femi.
00:55:15Impressive showing tonight.
00:55:17You know, I've had my eye on you, and you are a WrestleMania main event waiting to happen.
00:55:21And as the locker room leader, the man filling the void that John Cena left,
00:55:26it is my responsibility to get the next generation ready.
00:55:32Oh, really? And how are you going to do that?
00:55:34I'm glad you asked. My three core values, master, inspire, zone in, master the class.
00:55:40Inspire to be better than everybody else, and when the pressure hits, zone in and be undeniable.
00:55:46I can show you the ropes, both inside and out, to get you where you need to be.
00:55:51Oh, really? Yeah. You can show me the ropes.
00:55:54Yeah. Okay. How about you show me the ropes next week?
00:55:57Perfect. Right? Yeah.
00:55:58I'll go talk to Aldis about it. Awesome.
00:56:04Wait, why is he talking to...
00:56:07Wait, no, not a match! Not a match!
00:56:11Zone in two words. Still to come.
00:56:14Randy Orton, Aleister Black.
00:56:17Our main event on SmackDown is coming your way.
00:56:21I'm proud to leave him traumatized when I light up.
00:56:27Hey, Sunday night, watch the Royal Rumble.
00:56:30Catch all the action. The road to WrestleMania underway.
00:56:33The full Royal Rumble broadcast Sunday night on Standard.
00:56:35Regular ESPN, not the app.
00:56:37Lineal, big ESPN, 8 Eastern, 5 Pacific.
00:56:41The Royal Rumble on ESPN.
00:56:44Yeah.
00:56:44I'm a real one, and I bring change.
00:56:46Got a big dream, and the dream won't fade.
00:56:47Bass Empire, look it up, and take this one higher.
00:56:50I'm actually on the light up this side.
00:56:53Okay, Lexi, I know I lost.
00:56:59Take a minute, take it in.
00:57:01I know this is hard for you, but you're gonna be okay.
00:57:06Charlotte?
00:57:07Yes?
00:57:08It's okay to be upset.
00:57:10Lexi, I'm not upset.
00:57:13My best friend is in chamber, I am not.
00:57:17I am, I am fine.
00:57:19You wanna know why I'm fine?
00:57:20Because I am famously evolved.
00:57:24Lexi, I'm wearing studs.
00:57:27Do you see any diamonds?
00:57:28Aww, Alexa, are you sure that you're gonna be okay in the chamber all by yourself?
00:57:34I mean, you two have become pretty codependent.
00:57:37Kiana, really rich coming from you.
00:57:39You said you wanted Julia to be a triple champion, and yet you're the only one in chamber?
00:57:43Interesting.
00:57:44Well, we don't worry about petty little issues like that.
00:57:46We understand that this is a working relationship.
00:57:49You guys might be best friends, okay?
00:57:52But we're the most powerful duo on this roster.
00:58:00What the hell?
00:58:01Prove it.
00:58:03What did you do?
00:58:05Why did you go and say to me?
00:58:07Where are you?
00:58:07I wanna give you money.
00:58:07Why are you?
00:58:09I'm not here!
00:58:12I'm fine.
00:58:14I'm...
00:58:14I'm fine.
00:58:16I'm fine.
00:58:18Don't you come with me.
00:58:22Boy Charlotte was so close
00:58:23Had the figure 8 leg lock locked in
00:58:25Against Nia when all of a sudden
00:58:26Keanu James came up with a pinfall victory
00:58:29Hey next week we're back on USA Network
00:58:31For Friday Night Smackdown
00:58:33Going to be in Louisville
00:58:34Let's go through what's coming the fans way

00:58:45Well next week tag goal
00:58:47On the line as Rhea and Io
00:58:49Defend against the irresistible forces

00:59:37We need to focus on the Wyatts
00:59:40We need to make sure
00:59:41That they never get this back

01:02:18Hey, blue hair like mama big chichi
01:02:20Blue one blue one
01:02:21Speaking of Elimination Chamber a couple weeks ago Alistair Black
01:02:26waiting just mislanding a black mask on Randy Orton that likely would have gotten him to Chicago
01:02:32Yeah, locked doors with him you would think okay that's the issue over but clearly it has not
01:02:38left the mind of Alistair Black ever since
01:02:41The following contest is scheduled for one fall making his way to the ring from St. Louis Missouri
01:03:08Swing in at 280 pounds
01:03:11The Viper
01:03:13Randy Orton
01:03:18In eight days
01:03:20Randy Orton will be in the chamber in Chicago
01:03:25We know four of the other men who will be by his side
01:03:29L.A. Knight, Cody Rhodes, Javon Evans
01:03:31And earlier tonight
01:03:33We saw Trick Williams advance
01:03:36Wait, he sent forth the message at the start of 2026
01:03:40This year is for history to add to his championship record
01:03:46Yeah, Randy Orton
01:03:48Yeah, Randy Orton
01:03:51The favourite for any match he's competing in
01:03:55However, the Elimination Chamber
01:03:57There is an element of luck involved of course
01:04:00Regarding when the pods open
01:04:02And just in general such a hard match to predict
01:04:06With six of the best competing and all that steel and carnage
01:04:12It's gonna be quite the event
01:04:13One week from tomorrow
01:04:19But Orton's gonna get there in one piece first
01:04:22And of course, locking up with someone as dangerous as Alistair Black
01:04:26Is no easy task
01:04:27Black
01:04:27Said some cryptic words the way of Orton last week
01:04:31And indeed again this week
01:04:33And despite those words being cloaked
01:04:37In his typical ambiguity
01:04:39The words were clearly dripping with threat
01:04:42They talk to me
01:04:45They tell me things that I will do
01:04:48They show me things I'll see you
01:04:51They talk to me
01:04:53They talk to me
01:04:54They talk to me
01:05:02Earlier tonight, Alistair Black
01:05:05Telling Randy Orton
01:05:06That the guy he's seen the past couple weeks
01:05:08That's not the Viper he knows
01:05:11Yeah, I'm gonna be
01:05:12I don't know what Alistair Black is getting at
01:05:15And that probably goes for a lot of the things
01:05:16That come out of the mouth of Alistair Black
01:05:18Yeah
01:05:18I'm not quite sure what he means
01:05:20I think he was alluding to the fact that this
01:05:22Great friendship of Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton
01:05:26They're gonna meet in the Elimination Chamber
01:05:27I think he was stirring that part but
01:05:34You've gotta be careful
01:05:36Stirring up a Viper's Nest
01:05:38And now Alistair Black is the one who's put himself
01:05:40In major danger in my eyes
01:05:43Well the appreciation from this crowd here
01:05:45Chanting Randy Randy
01:05:46Right on the opening bell
01:05:4711,400 plus here
01:05:50At the home for the Stanley Cup champions
01:05:52For the Panthers
01:06:01Skill of Black
01:06:19Both men trying their best to sow some fear in the mind of their opponent
01:06:23Orton for once met his match there with Alistair Black
01:06:27Sinister looking pose from both men but
01:06:29Back on top
01:06:30Alistair Black
01:06:32Three
01:06:33Four
01:06:34Five
01:06:35Six
01:06:36Seven
01:06:37Eight
01:06:38Nine
01:06:39Eight
01:06:39Four
01:06:40Two
01:06:45Three
01:06:46Four
01:06:47Five
01:06:49Six
01:06:50Five
01:06:50Eight
01:06:51Four
01:07:12he's noticed orton out of the corner of his eye staring at our desk and quickly coming into play
01:07:18but Alistair Black knew that was coming
01:07:25Alistair Black comes back with a kick attack and Randy back into the ring
01:07:32yeah the difficulty in staying one step ahead of Randy Orton
01:07:37is quite the task and believe me I've locked up with Orton on more than one occasion
01:07:41and I rarely came off well and Orton once again going back to Old Faithful that desk
01:07:49the equivalent of a tag partner for Randy Orton over the years and it seems to be the case once
01:07:54again tonight
01:07:55oh man the impact on the back of Alistair Black
01:08:13I think the Viper is hearing voices in his head and they're saying one more time
01:08:17he's hearing 11,434 of them
01:08:23and he delivers on exactly what they want
01:08:25ask and ye shall receive
01:08:33and Alistair Black at this point might be regretting talking a little smack to the Viper earlier
01:08:41how about three
01:08:44he didn't even ask for that one that's a bonus
01:09:02Brad just soaking it in
01:09:04breaking the count again just to dole out more punishment on Alistair Black
01:09:10and it is just an experience witnessing one of the greatest in history Randy Orton do his thing
01:09:17and these people here tonight get a real treat
01:09:19I feel like Orton has barely even broken sweat at this point and been completely dominant in the process
01:09:29trying to scramble away is Alistair Black and finally getting some shots in in return
01:09:37he needs every one of those kicks
01:09:40there's been a non-stop attack
01:09:42those Muay Thai strikes that have helped
01:09:45become the major name that he is
01:09:48we're just bouncing off the Viper
01:09:53look at the way his body is draped across that timekeeper barrier
01:10:11the Viper Randy Orton
01:10:14who looked to shut up Alistair Black earlier tonight
01:10:18said if he wants to see the old Randy
01:10:20then go get your gear
01:10:21and that is how we have ended up with this
01:10:23main event as Randy Orton has been in complete control
01:10:27just devastating stomps destroying the body of Alistair Black
01:10:32and Randy Orton has been at his cold and calculated best
01:10:36and clearly Zelina is aware of that
01:10:38she's trying to throw a spanner in the works here for Orton
01:10:41and this distraction may be pivotal
01:10:44oh and it pays off with that knee to the back
01:10:47from Alistair Black
01:10:49Zelina paying dividends there for Alistair Black
01:10:52who was getting absolutely nothing in this match
01:10:55but these kicks from Black are devastating the Muay Thai expert
01:11:00where he's so dangerous and you brought it up
01:11:03just eight days away from elimination chamber
01:11:06and Randy in against a dangerous striker like Alistair Black
01:11:11yeah that's the danger in taking a match like this
01:11:13you think you know what I'll shut this guy up
01:11:15but you also want to try and stay 100%
01:11:19he can win it right here
01:11:21ahead of elimination chamber and that was a late kick out from Orton
01:11:24it was a massive knee
01:11:26so literally a couple big strikes
01:11:28took a knee on the point of the jaw
01:11:30I don't care how great you are
01:11:31take another look at the impact of that
01:11:33and there's no blocking that shot
01:11:35and Orton for all his greatness
01:11:37for all those 20 plus years
01:11:40he's still a human being with a human being jaw
01:11:43and that impact has clearly taken a major toll on the Viper
01:11:50Andy Orton was the first to qualify for elimination chamber
01:11:53Alistair Black came up short
01:11:56Black challenged him earlier tonight
01:12:00and he glad to take it
01:12:02remember Monday the tribute to AJ Styles
01:12:04one of the greatest ever do it
01:12:07he will have his final address for the WWE universe
01:12:10on Monday Night Raw
01:12:15wow from that suplex
01:12:16still throwing knee shots at every angle
01:12:19that is the right to the top of the head weight
01:12:21crazy skilled feet and knees of Alistair Black
01:12:25it's up for the vertical suplex
01:12:27next thing you know you have a knee coming down
01:12:28top of your head
01:12:30here's Alistair Black hook of the leg
01:12:33so here's the problem
01:12:34when you're in there with someone like an Alistair Black
01:12:37who's this kind of crossover fighter
01:12:39from the world of Muay Thai
01:12:40and Thai boxing
01:12:41nobody trains for this kind of offense
01:12:44in wrestling gym
01:12:45so Randy Orton for all his career
01:12:46he's taken on the absolute best out there
01:12:49he's never fought someone with the kind of skill set
01:12:51of an Alistair Black
01:12:52and that's why when Alistair Black gets a little momentum
01:12:55there is no way to block these shots for Randy Orton
01:12:59this is all new offense
01:13:01that Orton is receiving
01:13:03and he's 25 years deep into a career
01:13:05yeah of anybody on the roster
01:13:07of anybody in the locker room
01:13:08Alistair Black possesses the most extensive background
01:13:11in martial arts
01:13:12and you're seeing it come through mid-match
01:13:19but Randy
01:13:20you know what he's capable of
01:13:23looking for that draping DDT
01:13:26desperately trying to break that rhythm
01:13:28is black and he's
01:13:29doing exactly what you need to do
01:13:32in that situation
01:13:33just stop on Orton in his tracks
01:13:44back and forth they go
01:13:46you can see Randy a little unsteady
01:13:48on his feet for a moment
01:13:53trying to figure out the method
01:13:55to the madness of Alistair Black
01:13:57and I do see it as a madness
01:13:58it doesn't quite connect
01:13:59with a lot of us mentally
01:14:01but Black returned to WWE
01:14:03with a stated intent
01:14:05of making up for lost time
01:14:07and getting on a fast track
01:14:08to the main event
01:14:09well if you want to be
01:14:10in some main events around here
01:14:12winning a singles match
01:14:13against Randy Orton
01:14:15will certainly help your cause
01:14:17and that is likely the reason
01:14:19why Alistair Black
01:14:20is currently targeting
01:14:21such a big fish
01:14:23as Randy Orton
01:14:24yeah that's as big of a notch
01:14:25that you can put on the belt
01:14:29Randy up to his feet
01:14:30able to counter
01:14:31back suplex
01:14:34yeah for all the strikes
01:14:35in the world
01:14:36there is simply no accounting
01:14:37for power
01:14:38and Randy getting that look
01:14:40in his eye
01:14:42he's wounded
01:14:44and that is perhaps
01:14:45when the Viper
01:14:46is at his most dangerous
01:14:47look at those eyes
01:14:50that is where danger works
01:14:52Black picks
01:14:53the ice cold stare
01:14:55has returned
01:14:56and I would not want to be
01:14:58Alistair Black right now
01:15:03Randy on the attack
01:15:07that scoop snap
01:15:09power slam
01:15:13big consensus
01:15:19Randy looking
01:15:20as barbaric
01:15:21as ever
01:15:22it didn't work
01:15:22the first time
01:15:23but this time
01:15:24Alistair Black
01:15:25is a lot more
01:15:25softened up
01:15:26look at that
01:15:27the draping
01:15:30DDT
01:15:43and now he is
01:15:44zoned in
01:15:45on the target
01:15:53Black
01:15:53able to survive it
01:15:55wisely
01:15:55scoffering out of that
01:15:57I don't know how much
01:15:57is left in
01:15:58Alistair Black
01:15:59but he better smarten up quick
01:16:01because in hot pursuit
01:16:02is Randy Orton
