00:08Julia, keep hiding behind that little secretary of yours, because as soon as-
00:12Well, well, well, if it isn't all-
00:14Don't touch me, don't touch me, don't touch me, don't touch me!
00:16As I was saying, after I beat Kiana tonight, I am coming for that United States Championship.
00:21You can kiss that title goodbye, because soon enough,
00:24you and everybody else will know exactly what time it is.
00:30It's Tiffany time!
00:34Chelsea's halfway to Glendale right now.
00:51The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:54Introducing first, from Pryor Lake, Minnesota, Tiffany Stratton!
01:01Look, they don't spring ahead for daylight savings here in Phoenix, but they know what time it is.
01:07It is Tiffany time on SmackDown.
01:11Tiffany Stratton against Kiana James.
01:13They meet up next, here on SmackDown.
01:28Your seat to history awaits at the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame.
01:33Honoring Stephanie McMahon.
01:37The phenomenal AJ Styles.
01:40Demolition.
01:41And more.
01:43A night like no other.
01:46A celebration in Las Vegas.
01:49Be there.
01:50With icons become legends.
01:52The WWE 2026 Hall of Fame.
01:56Tickets on sale now.
01:58Just an awesome night here in Phoenix as we head towards our contract signing between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton.
02:07Everybody has come out to this night of Friday Night SmackDown to take in all the non-stop action.
02:13Including Vanessa Hudgens, the famed actress and singer and super fan.
02:17Oh!
02:18And Vanessa's got the WrestleMania title special edition.
02:21You can go to www.shop.com and find that there.
02:26There is Mark Kerr.
02:28The former two-time UFC heavyweight champion.
02:32Of course, Lane Johnson's incredible portrayal.
02:34Mark Kerr.
02:35Been so outstanding this past year.
02:37Glad to have all the celebs ringside in Phoenix.
02:42He needs to wake up!
02:44You don't deserve that.
02:45He is toxic!
02:46Toxic!
02:46Toxic!
02:48But don't you worry, Miz.
02:50If it's a fight he wants, I'll go talk to Nick.
02:53And I'll give him what he wants.
02:56Hey, other Miz!
02:58Did, uh, Jimmy Jam knock out any of your teeth?
03:01Did it really use some?
03:03Anyways, if Dan Housen was out there, he could have defended your honor!
03:07Get out!
03:08You know, there's only one thing you have to do to reverse the curse!
03:14There!
03:18There's no curse.
03:20So many Fan Housens here in Phoenix tonight.
03:24Tiffany Stratton.
03:25Came so close to taking the Elimination Chamber.
03:28Now electric chair, case plant by Rhea Ripley.
03:30It turns things around, now Tiffany.
03:32Still proving herself on this road to WrestleMania.
03:34Mania.
04:06And her home, accompanied by the women's United States champion, Julia, from Sioux City, Iowa, Kiana James!
04:18Wait, we've had this conversation a lot in recent months that James has been on a really good run as
04:24a plate against the top, top talent.
04:27Charlotte and I, I remember, earned that chamber qualifier with the victory there and a triple threat.
04:31Last week, went to the limited tag action.
04:33Now answering the call that her partner, Julia, put forth against another elite star.
04:39Yeah, so broken out huge over the past couple of months has been Kiana James.
04:43You mentioned her epic performance in the Royal Rumble, epic performance in the Elimination Chamber.
04:49Kiana was a ranked outsider when she first arrived on SmackDown a few months back, but has proven that she
04:57is a major contender.
04:59That's the problem now for Kiana James.
05:01She was flying under the radar, but now the word is out.
05:05Everyone knows they need to step their game up when they're in there with Kiana James.
05:11So here we are, five weeks away from WrestleMania.
05:16Tiffany Stratton was so close in Chicago to win an Elimination Chamber.
05:21You know, the last time we'd SmackDown was here in Phoenix was last January when Tiffany cashed in that Money
05:27in the Bank contract on Nia Jax and won the Women's Championship.
05:31Look at this.
05:32But I'll tell you this right now.
05:34Tiffany Stratton was probably WWE's Woman of the Year in 2025.
05:39Good argument.
05:40But she's now in danger of slipping away from a spot on WrestleMania despite being runner-up in the Women's
05:47Royal Rumble, being runner-up in Women's Elimination Chamber,
05:50both times within touching distance of a main event spot at WrestleMania, now potentially will be left with nothing.
05:58Well, that's what makes these next five weeks so interesting, just to see how things will play out.
06:05Well, you mentioned that, it could be why Tiffy suddenly has noticed the United States Championship around the waist of
06:13Julia.
06:13And Julia quite smartly saying, hey, you want a piece of me?
06:16Go through the official representative, Kiana James, first.
06:21And we'll see if Tiffy is capable of doing that.
06:25Oh, Kiana James.
06:27Nice connection with that deal breaker there.
06:29Hasn't used that move in quite some time.
06:31Used to cry a lot back in her NXT days.
06:33Yes!
06:34One!
06:35Driving that back right into the edge of the apron, then into the barrier on that far side.
06:41Kiana James against Tiffany Stratton here in Phoenix.
06:45Come on, James!
07:01Wade, you just mentioned moments ago, the arsenal of Kiana James.
07:04She busted out the deal breaker to turn things around against Tiffany Stratton.
07:08What is it that you like about Kiana James offensively?
07:11Well, offensively, it's the smart strategy she utilizes.
07:14She is a mega brain.
07:16She's clearly more intelligent than your average superstar in WWE.
07:20And she knows how to use that to full effect.
07:22The athleticism is something that I don't think people were quite aware of.
07:27She is a snappy mover.
07:29She can do great high flying.
07:30And as we saw with the likes of Nia Jax, she can throw around some of the more powerful ladies
07:37in the division, too.
07:39I'm struggling to find a single weakness in Kiana James.
07:46And, of course, we talk about her time in NXT.
07:49She did win gold in NXT.
07:51She won the NXT Women's Tag Championship while she was down there alongside Fallon Henley.
07:58And I think sooner rather than later, I can see some gold around the waist of Kiana James here on
08:04SmackDown.
08:05Yes, she has been peaking.
08:07Got a lot of attention with the upset win to make it to Elimination Chamber.
08:15That's dangerous.
08:17For all the smarts of Kiana, James, you simply cannot take your foot off the gas against someone as skilled
08:22as Tiffany Stratton.
08:31But now, perhaps, that's part of the strategy.
08:34Turn the referees back and allow Julia to get a free shot in at Tiffany Stratton.
08:40A little warning shot there to Stratton.
08:42Don't come too close to my United States Championship.
08:55Tiffany looking for it right here.
09:08All that force driving the shoulder in.
09:11Stratton has barely got out the blocks tonight.
09:15That just shows you the competitive edge of Kiana James.
09:27And it's very few women in the entirety of Tiffany Stratton's time on SmackDown who have been able to do
09:35this to Tiffany Stratton and render the skills of Stratton obsolete.
09:43Tiffany Stratton's time on SmackDown.
09:44Tiffany Stratton is looking for an opening here.
09:46He's looking for anything at this point.
09:49It's been all Kiana James and this could be a major turning point.
09:53Both women driving each other's heads face first.
10:04It has been a wildly intriguing night here in Phoenix for Friday night's SmackDown.
10:10Chelsea Green is making her way down to the ring.
10:14The invalid Chelsea Green whose ankle was shattered.
10:18Dubious at best.
10:19By a malicious Tiffany Stratton several weeks ago.
10:23In the midst of a match you couldn't even see the injury and this has fallen out for weeks.
10:26Tiffany Stratton and Kiana James trying to decide things in the ring.
10:30And right now all of a sudden we get a glimpse of in the wheelchair Chelsea Green and Albafire coming
10:35down as Tiffany Stratton looks to regain control.
10:38That was a crazy cutter move there from Tiffany Stratton whose offensive arsenal continues to grow.
10:46And Kiana James now clinging on and the focus of Tiffany Stratton will not be helped.
10:51By the ringside presence of Chelsea Green and Albafire in addition to Julian.
10:57Kiana James able to escape and then eats a big boot in the corner.
11:01And James is really struggling to hang on here but hang on she did right there.
11:06Nice from Kiana.
11:07Well able to counter that cartwheel Alabama slam attempt and look at Kiana James.
11:13Falcon arrow connecting there.
11:15Hook in the leg and the shoulder did get up at two and change.
11:18And Tiffany is hurting in a big way here and you sense that Kiana is moments away from victory.
11:27If she can put a final flurry together here.
11:31Looking to do that right here against Stratton.
11:37Stratton wisely negotiating her way out of whatever Kiana was attempting there.
11:42Fighting back with some firepower of her own.
11:44Oh the rolling senton she's in position in the top and Julia knew it.
11:50Julia knew the prettiest moonsault ever was in the target.
11:54Dragging her official representative out of danger.
11:58Wow.
12:00Of course Tiffany gets a victory here tonight.
12:02Oh here we go.
12:03Chelsea Green is up on her.
12:04Uh oh.
12:05What does she have there?
12:06Might be a little Tonya Harden action here.
12:09What was that a pink wrench she was trying to strike her with?
12:13Well that would have been a disqualification which I think is why Julia got stuck in the middle there.
12:21Julia.
12:23Able to defend that time.
12:25And now Julia's got her held up as the ref was.
12:27Oh.
12:27Oh and right on to Chelsea and Alba.
12:30They malfunctioned there.
12:32And now the rolling senton in the other direction.
12:36P.M.E.
12:39One.
12:40Two.
12:41Three.
12:45Here is your winner.
12:47Tiffany Stratton.
12:50Well that turned into a disaster in a hurry for both Kiana, James and Julia.
12:56And indeed Alba Fire and Chelsea Green.
13:00Nice movement there from Tiffany Stratton.
13:03And of course one chance is all she needs to hit the prettiest moonsault ever.
13:09And Kiana James et al will be kicking themselves after that one.
13:13Now Tiffany Stratton remember five weeks to go to Wrestlemania.
13:16It'll be interesting to see how things play out for Tiffy time.
13:21That will only heighten her claims for an opportunity at the United States Championship that belongs to Julia.
13:27Remember a contract signing between Cody and Randy is still to come your way.
13:30Next week we're in Raleigh, North Carolina.
13:33It's another power pack card for Friday Night SmackDown.
13:36Yes indeed it is.
13:38We saw a meltdown a little earlier in our tag match.
13:42But next week the Bella Twins get their shot as they take on the champs, the irresistible forces on SmackDown.
13:52Also earlier tonight we saw Jelly Roll on Miz TV interrupted by Kit Wilson with claims and calls of Toxic.
14:00Now Kit Wilson calls out Jelly Roll next week on SmackDown from Raleigh, North Carolina.
14:07We will see you then.
14:08Of course so much to come still right here.
14:12Let them know we're on the way.
14:13Counting heroes every day.
14:15I know they're on the way.
14:15Excuse me Trick.
14:17One of your final thoughts ahead of your match tonight against Jacob Fatu.
14:21Man first thing first, Nick Aldis needs to do his job.
14:24He had no business making this match tonight.
14:27But it's all good.
14:29Jacob Fatu.
14:30Since he want to call out Trick Williams.
14:33Without my consent.
14:35I got a good mind to take off these lemon pepper steppers.
14:38And smack the boogeyman out your ass.
14:39Let's talk about it.
14:41And I'm going to tell you something.
14:45No, don't stop.
14:46Keep talking.
14:47You've been talking such a big game lately, Trick.
14:51What happened?
14:52I thought you were going to walk into the main event of WrestleMania.
14:54I thought you were going to put this company on your back.
14:57Huh?
14:58All that big talk.
14:59What did you call me?
15:01Mr. Can't get the job done?
15:03How things been going for you?
15:05Huh?
15:06I saw you get dropped at Chamber.
15:07I saw you get dropped last week by Randy Orton.
15:10And now you're about to get dropped by Jacob Fatu.
15:12Because you keep running your mouth.
15:14And you can't back it up.
15:18Yeah, that way you're looking at me, that feeling in your chest right now, I know that feeling very well.
15:24You're embarrassed, and you should be.
15:29Sammy, you're hating hard, ain't you?
15:32I know why.
15:33But you're lucky I got a match tonight.
15:35Or I would drop your ass where you're staying right now.
15:39Hey, I'm here every week, and I'm real easy to find.
15:47I guess I'll see you around.
15:5510, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2.
16:0810, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1.
16:30The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
16:33Introducing first, from Sacramento, California.
16:37Weighing in at 291 pounds, the Samoan Werewolf, Jacob Batu!
16:47The menacing intensity, the passion, pride, and punishment of Jacob Batu.
16:56Well, after what we saw at the top of the show with Drew McIntyre,
16:59it was clear that somebody was going to incur the wrath of Jacob Batu this evening.
17:06Unfortunately for Trick Williams, it turns out it is him.
17:11Jacob Batu goes one-on-one with Trick Williams next on SmackDown.
17:26I want to break some big news.
17:28NXT will be bringing one of its biggest PLEs to one of the greatest wrestling cities in all the world.
17:34On Saturday, April 4th.
17:37Get ready for a fight!
17:39NXT stands up in St. Louis.
17:42The stakes are high.
17:44The world is watching.
17:45And only the best.
17:47Stand and deliver.
17:49NXT stand and deliver.
17:51Saturday, April 4th.
17:55Boom.
17:58Dirty Dom there.
17:59Yeah, I hear what you were going with that.
18:01This is far from a beautiful shot.
18:03This is a Samoan werewolf who is looking to cause some major damage tonight.
18:09And his victim, Trick Williams.
18:14A.k.a.
18:16Mr. Whoop That.
18:17Yeah.
18:26Hi there who is Rebecca!
18:28stabilizes her point!
18:29Ah tessas aÃ!
18:39Tessas aÃ!
18:41Cassous!
18:42Catch aÃ!
18:43Tessas aÃ!
18:45Tessas aÃ!
19:01And here's a vote from Columbia, South Carolina,
19:04weighing in at 240 pounds,
19:08Drake Williams!
19:11So, Wade, last week, Mr. Whoop That
19:13was talking some smack to Randy Orton.
19:15And this week, he gets in the way of Jacob Batu.
19:18Yeah, I think unintentionally,
19:21and the chance ringing out around the arena
19:24suggests that somebody is about to get whooped.
19:28I do fear it might be Mr. Whoop That himself,
19:32who for once will be on the receiving end of said whooping.
19:36We'll see what Drake Williams can do about that.
19:40Drake Daddy.
19:41Drake Willie.
19:431-800-WOOP That.
19:44Hollywood Drake.
19:46We could keep going, couldn't we, Joe?
19:49Drake it two times.
19:51All right.
19:52That's enough.
19:52We've got to get serious because serious is in the eyes of Jacob Batu right here.
19:59Yeah, there is no other way when these two are in the ring.
20:03Drake Williams at 6'5", over 250 pounds.
20:07Jacob Batu, who's been really now a heat-seeking missile, tagged on Drew McIntyre.
20:13But this untimely interruption earlier has gotten them into this match against Drake Williams.
20:18And Drake Williams is already convinced he is WrestleMania main event ready.
20:23And I will say charisma, looks-wise, personality-wise, that's all true.
20:28The question is, can you beat someone the caliber of Jacob Batu?
20:35Because if you want to be in WrestleMania main events one day, that is kind of the bar you need
20:41to be above.
20:43You see that explosiveness of Batu backing up Drake Williams.
20:48That's all he got!
20:51And this might be a very steep learning curve for Drake Williams, who has been absolutely fantastic since arriving on
20:59SmackDown from NXT.
21:00But this is a very different level in the ring right now.
21:04You see what's coming your way, bottom of your screen, the contract signing between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton.
21:11Look at the athleticism of Trick Daddy.
21:15Trick has the hops, that's for sure.
21:17But slamming the head, a Samoan into that turnbuckle might.
21:23Yeah, Jacob says, you know what? I'll just do it for you.
21:27There's that learning curve I was talking about.
21:30That's what you want, huh?
21:33Able to block that right hand and send back one of his own.
21:38Drake Williams has never quite seen anything like this before, that's for sure.
21:43No complaint.
21:46Just a whirlwind of aggression.
21:52Came out tonight wanting a piece of Drew McIntyre, somebody he'd have many issues with.
21:57Well, Drew McIntyre apparently has quit WWE, taken his ball and gone home, but that has not quelled the anger
22:05of the Samoan werewolves.
22:06Yeah, that's the big headline that started the night that Drew McIntyre was joining us live.
22:11He went on an angry rant.
22:12Nick Aldis just wouldn't put up with what's been going on.
22:15Jacob Fatu arrived, and Drew's saying year after year he gets screwed over, and he just walked out of Friday
22:22Night SmackDown.
22:23Drew McIntyre says he's done, he quit, he's had it.
22:27That hard hand of Jacob Fatu means Drake Williams might be done himself fairly soon.
22:34Fatu, on the go.
22:40Just freak-level athletics from a man way too big to be pulling off crisp moves like that.
22:48Incredible to think.
22:49That powerhouse of a body.
22:51As he sits him out, arms on the floor.
22:54Not much is going right for Drake Williams tonight.
22:57Will that change imminently?
22:59It's going to have to.
23:17Here's Jacob Fatu.
23:20Saying all gas, no breaks.
23:22That has been the case now against Trick Williams.
23:25Muttering that mantra to himself.
23:28And doesn't Trick Williams know all about all gas?
23:31No breaks now, but nice shot there from the former boxer Trick Williams.
23:36Got that nickname Trick Willie in the boxing ring.
23:40And now, finally, getting the upper hand on Jacob Fatu, but has to make his stick.
23:48What a turnaround with that right hand.
23:54And this might not be the time for posing,
23:57Although, who am I to tell Trick Williams how to do things?
24:06Just slamming his head into the front of the desk.
24:10And you just sense the confidence growing now in Trick Williams.
24:14Not that confidence is ever an issue.
24:18Big uppercut.
24:20Maybe a little too much confidence.
24:25Cannot lose sight of the task in hand against Jacob Fatu.
24:29Give him an inch, he will take a mile.
24:34Still steps coming into play as well.
24:36Trick just getting bounced around the ringside area.
24:39And no sooner did he grab control of this match,
24:42He's lost it once again.
24:44And inherently, there lies the danger when you're fighting Jacob Fatu.
24:55Fatu, I have a target, and it's the far barrier as he slams Williams into it.
25:01And let's be honest, everything is a target to Jacob Fatu.
25:07If there's a way to deliver pain, he's going to find it.
25:11Creative individual, is that what you're saying, Joe?
25:13No doubt about it.
25:14I'm sure our medical staff love him.
25:17Keeps many people employed.
25:21Nice swinging leg there from Trick Williams.
25:25Just when you start writing off Trick Williams,
25:27That's where he can dig deep.
25:29This might be the deepest we've ever seen Trick Williams have to dig,
25:34Considering the caliber of opponent before.
25:50Finally gathering himself and getting a modicum of control in this matchup is Trick Williams.
25:57Use it wisely, young man.
26:00Use it or lose it.
26:19What a battle we have here in Phoenix.
26:21Jacob Fatu and Trick Williams have been engaged backstage.
26:26Nick Aldis turned to Trick Williams as Kassi complains and said,
26:29You want something? I'll give you something.
26:31How about Fatu?
26:32And here they are battling deep into the night on SmackDown.
26:35And Trick Williams at times has been clinging on in this match,
26:39But we're starting to learn a bit about the result of Trick Williams,
26:44But that might do it.
26:45Fatu from the jump up to the hook of the leg and escaping with a count of two was Williams.
26:51And we know a lot about Trick Williams already,
26:53But right now we are learning after moves like this and the kind of assaults that
26:57Jacob Fatu has thrown the way of Trick Williams.
27:01Just how big Trick Williams' appetite for war really is.
27:06You cannot be soft-bellied when you're mixing it up with someone like Jacob Fatu.
27:12If you're not ready to go to hell and back, you might as well walk away now while you still
27:17can.
27:17That's exactly where he wants to take just about every match.
27:21There's a sense of inevitability about it.
27:24That is where the match is going when Fatu is involved and that is where this one is headed in
27:29a hurry.
27:30Oh, well scouted by Williams.
27:34That's a whirlwind pump kick there, catching Fatu.
27:39A big neck breaker.
27:42Now we're seeing Trick start to ratchet through those gears.
27:46Some of the athleticism of Trick Williams coming to the fore.
27:51But I'm impressed with his durability in this one.
27:55Because Fatu will ask you of everything you have.
27:59Oh God, he's going to keep on asking questions until this one is over.
28:03And for Trick Williams, he needs to keep finding these answers.
28:06He's looking for the Trick kick.
28:08Instead, he eats an uppercut.
28:10But Williams giving everything tonight is in the kip-up.
28:14He still has plenty in that gas tank, Wade.
28:17You see the flat jack, but following it up with a little pizzazz.
28:22And that is the Trick Williams story.
28:26Go back here!
28:27Go back here!
28:28Go back here!
28:31A pull to action here.
28:34Uranagi to put it away right here.
28:37Fatu just got that left shoulder up.
28:40And now suddenly the tables have really turned in this one.
28:43It looks like Fatu is clinging on.
28:46And out of breath perhaps, but there's a calm behind the eyes of Trick Williams now.
28:52Who truly believes he can beat the Werewolf.
28:58Oh, he's looking for it.
29:01He wants to line up that Trick shot.
29:03Add him a little extra stank on it by pulling that knee pad down.
29:10Fatu.
29:12Pop-up Samoan.
29:14The Samoan Werewolf is feeling it now.
29:20And that running hip attack.
29:22Trick Williams is feeling it in a very different way.
29:26How quickly things can turn with Fatu.
29:30And now Williams is in the target zone.
29:35Swanton.
29:38Fatu.
29:40Just at the last second.
29:42Two and change to get that right shoulder up.
29:44And the lawless Jacob Fatu coming into his own.
29:49Just when it looked like Trick Williams had full control of this one.
29:55Just a volatile nature to Jacob Fatu.
29:59Who unsurprisingly may have finally had to hit the brakes in this one.
30:05Such an exhausting effort against Trick Williams who has matched him every step of the way.
30:10These are these moments when Fatu digs deep.
30:14When Fatu makes a decision.
30:17Bounce it up for that moonsault.
30:19But saw Trick Williams slide in the hell out of there.
30:23And who can blame Trick Williams.
30:24Great instincts there.
30:25But uh-oh.
30:27Oh, Fatu.
30:28With massive shoulder out onto the floor.
30:31Didn't quite get the usual head of steam.
30:34But got the connection he was looking for.
30:36And all the way behind.
30:37Oh, right up.
30:38Drew McIntyre is here.
30:40Well, McIntyre who apparently quit SmackDown earlier.
30:44Oh!
30:44Had one piece of business he needed to take care of it seems.
30:50That piece of business being the carcass of Jacob Fatu.
30:55Now the referee has missed all of this.
30:57Trick Williams dealing with him.
31:01And all the sudden Trick Williams with the trick shot.
31:06Well, the Samoan werewolf has been thrown to the walls by Drew McIntyre.
31:11Referee oblivious to everything.
31:14Drew McIntyre who supposedly had quit and teased up Trick Williams.
31:23Here is your winner.
31:25Trick Williams!
31:28Well, we can talk about how we got there.
31:32And I'm sure this is going to run and run.
31:34But for now, Trick Williams just got the biggest victory of his entire career against Jacob Fatu.
31:43Thanks, of course, to a major assist from the man who has apparently quit WWE, Drew McIntyre.
31:50We were told he had left the arena.
31:53They had walked out and quit.
31:55As he is paring down over Jacob Fatu.
31:59The role that Fatu played a week ago in that championship match against Cody Rhodes.
32:09He's the man who McIntyre blames for the reason why he is no longer WWE Champion.
32:16Well, this is payback now, Jacob.
32:19Fatu.
32:20Unsteady on his feet.
32:21A Claymore.
32:21A massive Claymore from McIntyre.
32:45The headliners are here.
32:48WrestleMania 42.
32:50The undisputed WWE Championship.
32:53The contract signing.
32:55Cody Rhodes.
32:56Randy Orton.
32:58Is next.
32:59SPN.
33:07Hey, there is Jelly Roll taking his seat ringside.
33:10We saw him in the ring earlier.
33:11He is so excited to support his two great friends.
33:15Of course, they are great friends.
33:16Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton.
33:19The contract signing has arrived.
33:26All right.
33:27Ladies and gentlemen.
33:31All right.
33:32Ladies and gentlemen.
33:33Just one thing to handle before we get to the business at hand.
33:36Drew McIntyre.
33:38I guess you didn't quit.
33:40So welcome back.
33:42And as a welcome back gift to you.
33:46You get Jacob Fatu one on one next week on Smackdown.
33:53Now, to the business at hand.
33:55Ladies and gentlemen, we know why we're here.
33:58To sign the contract for the main event of WrestleMania.
34:03The WWE Championship is on the line.
34:06So without further ado, allow me to introduce the challenger, the Viper, Randy Orton.
34:15The WWE Championship is on the line.
34:44I have a voice in the ring.
34:47I have a voice in the ring.
34:50I have a voice in the ring.
34:52I have a voice in the ring.
34:53I have a voice in the ring.
34:54And the power to the ring will be.
34:57I hear voices crying.
35:00I see, hear the lightning.
35:03I taste blood that's dying.
35:06I feel tension rising.
35:09I have voices in my head.
35:11They care for me.
35:12They don't share the face on the face.
35:16They charge the people.
35:19They charge the people.
35:20They do everything that happens.
35:23Everything should be there.
35:24They weren't just words for Randy Orton back in January when he came back.
35:28It wasn't just a generic promo and hype.
35:31The Quest for World Championship number 15.
35:34With Persian seriousness, he put it forth, and now he's on the doorstep of that opportunity.
36:19That's where he's headed to meet Cody Rhodes.
36:54And now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the WWE Champion, the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes.
37:07Wrestling has more than one royal family.
38:07That long and winding road of Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, the relationship that's lasted all these years, comes to
38:18this moment of pen and paper.
38:20Went all the way back to Cody's WWE debut, all the mentorship from Randy, the recent years as a great
38:30friend.
38:32And then Elimination Chamber, went inside WrestleMania.
38:38Friends all the way back to that youth, mentorships.
38:44And it all comes to a hand in five weeks' time.
38:59Cody had one last chance for Mania.
39:02Royal Rumble, the Chamber, all denied.
39:04And then that courageous, deep-digging final match last week against Drew McIntyre.
39:09He swept it all.
39:10The championship bat, WrestleMania secured, and now a great challenge against a great friend.
39:16Man, look at that embrace.
39:17Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes.
39:18You've got to play.
39:20As you go and ditrigged in to one of his athletes.
39:21you'll follow me When you pass, jestem to Schlkeepers.
39:25I'm Montgomery Kane andёр.
39:25I can't wait until you're lost.
39:36Thank you!
39:38Give me that and say thank you!
39:47Let's go Runner!
40:02Fenix!
40:04Fenix!
40:14Fenix!
40:16Fenix!
40:21Sounds like I know what you wanna talk about.
40:25In 2007,
40:26I came to WWE.
40:28My very first match in WWE
40:31was against Randy Orton.
40:36And I'd go on
40:37to watch you win the Royal Rumble.
40:40You got into an argument
40:42with Stu about the sign
40:44and the pyro not going off.
40:46I'd go on
40:48to watch you main event
40:50or WrestleMania.
40:51And I thought,
40:54if I could be like that.
40:58And then I left.
41:01And this was probably frowned on.
41:03You put out a post
41:04about how you thought I could become
41:06world champion.
41:07And when I came back to WWE,
41:09I came back alone.
41:11there was no Cody verse.
41:12My brother wasn't with me.
41:14My wife stayed at home with the babies.
41:21But I had you.
41:26Randy, I am...
41:29I'm not your son
41:31and I'm not your brother,
41:32but I have always been proud
41:34to be your boy.
41:48body.
41:51Ready,
41:55ready,
41:58ready,
41:59ready,
42:26I don't think he understands
42:31Cody
42:36I need this
42:39I need that
42:42but this
42:43this wasn't supposed to be hard
42:45this was supposed to be easy
42:47Drew was supposed to be out here
42:48let me go ahead
42:50but no how am I supposed to
42:52let me take this weight
42:55off your shoulders
42:56because I'm sure you're hearing the voices
42:59in your head and when the bell rings
43:00that's what I expect
43:02that's what they expect
43:04we get to watch the best Randy Orton
43:07has ever been
43:08Randy Orton who just won a stacked
43:10elimination chamber
43:12and I know when the bell rings that I get the legend
43:15killer that I get the youngest
43:17world champion in company history
43:19that I get the one that
43:21JBL said that if you built a wrestler
43:23from the ground up he'd look like you
43:25and he would still say that
43:27I know
43:29that we get the master
43:31of the three most dangerous
43:33letters in all
43:35of WWE
43:42but that's when the bell rings
43:46and after the main event
43:47of Wrestlemania
