00:01Then

00:16Forever
00:24Together
00:31Ladies and gentlemen, we know why we're here. To sign the contract for the main event of WrestleMania. The WWE
00:37Championship is on the line.
00:41In 2007, my very first match was against Randy Orton. And I'd go on to watch you win the Royal
00:49Rumble Main Event WrestleMania.
00:54And I thought, if I could be like that, I have always been proud to be your boy.
01:04I don't think you understand. I need that. This wasn't supposed to be hard. This was supposed to be easy.
01:12Let me take this weight off your shoulders, because I'm sure you're hearing the voices in your head. And when
01:19the bell rings, that's what I expect. That's what they expect.
01:24And after the main event of WrestleMania, I want you to know, I will always love you.

05:49the situation out in the parking lot with mcintyre beating down fatu well absolute mayhem look we
05:54know the story between those two has been boiling and simmering for months now i mean including
06:00costing each other matches championships but what the hell security get a grip on things things are
06:06at a boiling point right now in many areas of wwe and that is what wrestlemania season really can do
06:13to anyone joe yeah the vitriol the hatred the venom the obsession with drew mcintyre and jacob fatu
06:19it continues and it happened here again at the beginning of smackdown and what the hell did you
06:25think was gonna happen and you want me just to shut up and wrestle the only place i should be
06:35wrestling is the main event of wrestlemania and you took that from me
06:48i came here to fight and if anybody wrong drew mcintyre your ass belongs to me
07:03what the hell is wrong with you what is your issue drew mcintyre i swear to god
07:10you're the most self-sabotaging person i've ever known in this business every opportunity handed to
07:16you and you still act like a maniac you wanted to be champion you didn't want to defend the championship
07:22now you want jacob and by the way he wants you to be very sure of that and now i
07:27put you in a match
07:27and now you can't keep your hands off each other you talk about being on the way to wrestlemania
07:34the only place you're on your way to is unemployment
07:40i dare you i dare you i tried to quit i tried to quit but you'd love that everybody would
07:46love that
07:47wouldn't they no no jacob would love that you would love it i got a better idea you think i'm
07:54acting like
07:54a child by the way yeah i know you've got a child donovan should be ashamed to have such a
08:00corporate
08:01stooge for a father and i am going to cause chaos all night you've got to be kidding me
08:11oh fuck's his back oh come back this is not smart fatu
08:16fatu and mcintyre
08:18fatu looked absolutely wiped out moments ago and he might be going straight back there
08:23clearly nowhere near 100 percent and mcintyre all over fatu like a rash
08:30oh right into the post
08:32oh geez well this one right off the bat we're completely off schedule
08:36and i don't think we're getting back on there anytime soon
08:44fatu with a completely crazed rock in his eye
08:50well watch out joe this is no longer safe
08:53it's not it's not with these two at all
08:57oh man
09:04but we've got security out here they are giving fatu a very wide berth and i don't blame them
09:10me too for that matter big headbutt is just laid him out beating him down with headbutt after
09:17headbutt right on our announce desk well pouncing on fatu right now get fatu the hell out of here
09:23and get mcintyre some medical help
09:29i think they've been able to contain fatu
09:32oh god for how long gone
09:35out to the edge of the outer ball
09:37take what you can get with these combustible forces
09:42oh no
10:07bob two just went airborne
10:11and destruction everywhere
10:18this is him getting loose through timekeeper
10:26and brue mcintyre
10:30275 pounds flying through the air just annihilating the announce desk
10:36and that is the wild beginning to this night of smackdown
10:43we're in raleigh north carolina for an absolutely wild smackdown we want to show you what happened
10:49moments ago because upon the arrivals of our superstar all of a sudden there was major commotion
10:55and there was clearly a massive car accident out in the parking lot this was the scene two cars crash
11:01and all of a sudden drew mcintyre ripping jacob fatu through the windshield and beating him down
11:07well clearly there was an attack predetermined by mcintyre to cause maximum damage to jacob fatu
11:14and maximum damage it did indeed cause and at this point the assumption was jacob fatu was heading straight to
11:22hospital
11:23while drew mcintyre headed out to rink however back from the dead apparently joe
11:30in comes the samoan werewolf and the brawl ensued at ringside
11:35which quickly became a human demolition derby
11:39with the body of mcintyre crashing into the steps and then much worse than that
11:45they thought they had him contained but no
11:51the samoan werewolf flying through timekeeper
11:54up onto the barrier
11:56and smashing through mcintyre
12:00and destroying the reinforced announce desk
12:04and destroying the
12:55The following contest is scheduled for one fall
12:58and is for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
13:04Introducing first, the challenger, with a combined weight of 469 pounds, Damien Priest and R-Truth!
13:15And Wade, I can only imagine what Priest's reaction would have been just a few weeks ago
13:19if you told him he'd be tagging with R-Truth, let alone fighting for the Tag Team Championships.
13:24Yeah, that's right, we're gonna catch our breath here with a nice easy one, aren't we Joe?
13:28No we're not, it's a Tag Championship match with the unlikely tag duo of Damien Priest
13:33and R-Truth who have simply caught fire here on SmackDown over the past three weeks.
13:39Yeah, the third match in three weeks, having earned the status as number one contenders.
13:45What a reaction they have gotten each and every week.
13:48It's been a hastily thrown together tag team but they won tag team turmoil two weeks ago
13:54and they doubled down last week with victory over lost cars
13:58and these two hitting a rare vein of form as we hurtle towards Wrestlemania.
14:14We're taking it all!
14:15We're taking it all!
14:19We're taking it all!
14:19We ain't no fun!
14:20We're taking it all!
14:23We're ready for war!
14:25We're ready to come up the poor!
14:26We're taking it all!
14:36And their opponents, accompanied by Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Solo Sokoa.
14:43They are the WWE Tag Team Champions, Tama Tonga and J.C. Matteo M.M.T!
14:55Well you see Solo Sokoa leading the way with the Wyatt Six Lantern.
15:00Of course the champs have been entangled with the Wyatt Six since they took the goal in late January.
15:03Now a much different focus shift with this title defense wave.
15:08Yeah stepping away from their major rivals in the Wyatt Six and now focusing on championship business.
15:16Interestingly it was actually Solo and Tama Tonga who won those tag titles a couple of months back.
15:22However it's going to be J.C. Matteo and Tama Tonga defending them tonight.
15:27Almost an element of Freebird rule going on there with the MFTs.
15:31But nevertheless dressed up in the war paint and ready for war are the MFTs.
15:37And what a tall task this is for the relatively new tag team.
15:44That's what's on the line is a tag team championships up for grabs.
15:49We've got the MFTs standing over our destroyed announced saying what happened over here guys.
15:53Suddenly a giant shadow cast over us and you look up and it's the massive Tala Tonga.
15:59But right now it is Damian Priest straight in there with the heavy artillery.
16:04Trying to get right to him right away against J.C. Matteo and taking advantage as
16:09Priest has found his gear early on.
16:12I mean if ever there was a time of year to suddenly hit a hot streak.
16:17And some gold it's right about now.
16:20That was some old school R-Truth right there.
16:22You know you mentioned that they were thrown together quickly.
16:26But yet we're seeing a little bit of early chemistry now all of a sudden.
16:30Between R-Truth and Priest Wade.
16:31Yeah some things just work and I hearken back to their time together in the judgment day.
16:36If Truth was in fact in the judgment day and they had a little chemistry back then too.
16:41But right now taking R-Truth out of the equation is Tala Tonga.
16:46And immediately pouncing is J.C. Matteo.
16:49And now technically looks like a two-on-one matchup.
16:52And things going very well indeed for the NFTs.
16:55Golders on the line.
17:14J.C. Matteo taking advantage of things out on the floor against Damian Priest.
17:19WWE Tag Team Championship match here in Raleigh, North Carolina.
17:23There's been a blitzkrieg approach here from the MFTs.
17:27From the off really wiping out R-Truth momentarily.
17:30And that was all they needed to open a major window to knock down Damian Priest.
17:35Hopefully for their sake keep him down.
17:38Tama Tonga beating down with a series of right hands.
17:42Let's talk about Tama Tonga because what a 2026 it has been thus far for the Ote Tonga.
17:49Won the tag titles from the Wyatt Six at the beginning of the year.
17:53He's beaten Nakamura in singles action.
17:56Beaten Ilya Dragunov in singles action.
17:58Albeit with some major help from the NFTs.
18:01But it has been a sterling three months so far for Tama Tonga.
18:06And I think we've seen the best of him offensively.
18:08Especially with the cutthroat added to the arsenal.
18:11Well no doubt about that.
18:12And of course he has had a certain Shinsuke Nakamura whispering things in his ear.
18:17Trying to sow a little discord within the MFTs.
18:20Fight your own battle.
18:21Stop relying on backup being the message.
18:24That has rather upset Solo Sikawa at times.
18:27And does not appear to have got through to Tama Tonga at all.
18:30First-door history goes very far back.
18:33Come on in!
18:39Reese is in a tough spot.
18:41And with the referee distracted.
18:44Tonga Loa comes in with a right hand.
18:46Yeah it's just a smart move from JC Matteo.
18:49Clearly pre-planned.
18:50That's the strategy.
18:51Turn the referees back and take a cheap shot when you can.
18:55He's essentially two against five here tonight.
18:58It's part of the reason why it is difficult to perceive anyone
19:02taking down these MFTs.
19:11Teaming up to take down Priest again.
19:13Well Priest has been completely neutered so far in this one.
19:17After that early flourish right off the bat.
19:19Taken down and kept down by these MFTs.
19:23To have been absolutely merciless once they got the upper hand.
19:30Tama Tonga.
19:31He's explosive.
19:32Shows that speed.
19:33The violence.
19:38Yeah this is just a feral side to Tama Tonga.
19:42But when it's unleashed.
19:43Gives opponents very little breathing room.
19:47But it's not to mention this guy is a highly skilled.
19:49Technically astute superstar.
19:52Talking about technically astute.
19:54The 2004 Olympian Matteo.
19:58Lateral press on the count of one.
19:59Now looking for the better cover.
20:02Priest still has a lot left in the tank.
20:04Although he has taken some punishment.
20:14Great scene here.
20:16Sold out in Raleigh North Carolina's Friday Night Smackdown.
20:18On this road to WrestleMania.
20:20A couple weeks ago.
20:21Damian Priest and R-Truth were quickly assembled to take part.
20:25In a number one contenders match.
20:27They won it.
20:28They won tag team turmoil.
20:30Thus this championship opportunity against the MFTs.
20:34Well it's an opportunity right now that is slipping away.
20:37Because Damian Priest the punisher of Smackdown.
20:40Has been relentlessly punished by JC Matteo and Tama Tonga.
20:44This to retain for the MFTs.
20:46But the shoulder gets up from Priest.
20:48And this has just been a master class from the MFTs.
20:52Cheating behind the referee's back.
20:54Cheap shots.
20:55Whatever it takes to retain the goal.
20:58Matteo.
20:59Splashing into that corner against Priest.
21:01Who's taken sustained damage.
21:03And then he rids the apron of R-Truth.
21:07Well R-Truth has taken some sustained damage too.
21:10Despite not having been tagged into this one.
21:13Oh!
21:14The big spinning kick from Priest.
21:17As both men are down.
21:18Well finally some breathing room.
21:20But is there anyone to tag?
21:22Yes there is.
21:23R-Truth rejuvenated.
21:25It might be now or never for Truth and Priest.
21:29Here comes R-Truth.
21:32Here comes R-Truth.
21:35The running shoulder tackles.
21:40And you know what's coming next.
21:43Oh no, it's Ron Cena.
21:44R-Truth.
21:46R-Truth.
21:48R-Truth.
21:52Five knuckle shuffle and looking for gold.
21:55They close this out imminently.
21:57Could be here with the attitude adjustment.
21:59But Tamatanga able to escape into the corner.
22:03but now really on the ropes here are the mfts there was a tag referee saw
22:08look at the teamwork from the mfts this to hold on to their gold
22:16and the save from priest this one breaking down in a major way
22:22trying to rip back momentum here are the mfts mfts who won the gold in late january north of the
22:30border against the ready-made tag team of r-truth and damian priest stone cold stutter in there for
22:39good measure we're seeing all the legends come out with truth here oh priest off the steps
22:50truth
22:54stf locked in and jc mateo a long way from the ropes but that is a big
23:00powerful frame dragging both him and r-truth all the way there but no denying as he drags the
23:08former olympic wrestler back to the center of the ring and so there we go with a major distraction
23:14and now on the other side a choke slam on the edge of the apron by tala tonga who just
23:21serves him up to
23:23jc mateo well that was one millionth of a second away from a three-pound oh god oh
23:38the wyatt six have come out with their chief rivals in the ring and the mfts it is on well
23:48they
23:48won't that lantern back in the worst way but apparently running interference tala tonga tonga lower
23:56and solo oh oh howdy and the mandible claw locked in mandible claw on the outside of mateo
24:06with the super kick of uncle howdy well mateo had to save the boss there solo sekoa
24:13but he does just that the lantern still in the possession of solo sekoa but there's business to
24:19take care of him right yeah like defending the tag team championships
24:26priest just levels tama tonga
24:30all right
24:33aaa this for gold
24:39here are your winners and new wwe tag team champions
24:48jane priest and r truth
24:52greece can't believe it truth did it
24:56well the mfts retained their lantern but at what cost the cost the wwe tag team championships we have new
25:08champs
25:10what an unexpected career twist for these two well this is right uncle howdy here ringside the mandible
25:18claw on solo sekoa an attempt to take back their precious lantern denied by jc mateo
25:25and one super kick solo sekoa can thank his lucky stars for jc mateo's intervention there
25:32however sliding back in the ring
25:37damian priest cleaning house and then unthinkably the massive frame of jc mateo
25:44aaa by ron cena aka rtruth and we have new tag champs the most unlikely tag champs
25:53you perhaps could ever imagine
25:54and only their third match as a pairing
26:08damian priest and rtruth are the wwe tag team champions
26:22and i'm standing by with the team who's looking to take home some gold of their own
26:29the bella twins now brie and nikki it's been a moment since we've seen you two team together so do
26:34you
26:34think we'll see enough twin magic tonight to defeat the irresistible forces i think so kathy and
26:39anyone who underestimates us is making a big mistake which will make it that much more sweeter when nikki and
26:45i beat nyan lash for the titles that is right you know we help pave the way for the women's
26:49tag team
26:50titles to exist and we have made history throughout our own careers so tonight no one is

33:20the following tag team contests
33:23is scheduled for one fall introducing first axiom and nathan frazer
33:31and they are ready for a rematch frazer and axiom they were in that competitive tag team
33:37for a couple weeks ago with motorcycle machine guns that's the next friday night smackdown is presented
34:00so
34:01break your fist
34:03break your fist
34:06break your fist
34:17let's go
34:22and their opponent with a combined weight of 412 pounds
34:27bris damon alex shelley motor city machine guns
34:35you know wait it's really tough to remember a time when the motor city machine guns weren't in
34:40complete sync
34:41but the loss that we saw with the number one contenders tournament a couple weeks ago there's
34:47just a touch of a little more testy feeling recently yeah i agree with you there's been some tension there's
34:53been some bickering with the motor city
34:55machine guns and i get it it wouldn't have helped that they lost to a couple of guys in
35:00fraxium over here who are technically the mentees of the motor city machine guns these are guys
35:05you're supposed to be beating wait did we teach them too much but 20 plus years together as the
35:12motor city machine guns occasionally they're gonna bicker at little light brothers
35:16but when the bell rings they get back to action and they need to get back to winning ways that's
35:21the key
35:22this match presented by panda express have you eaten yet very fast start
35:26for fraxium and look joe just moments ago we saw new tag champs crown here on
35:31smackdown r-truth and damian priest i promise you every tag team in the smackdown locker room instantly
35:37thinks we need to be the number one contenders and this is obviously not a number one contenders
35:43match however if you're going to make the case to gm nick oldest that you should get the first shot
35:47of
35:47the new champs a victory here would not hurt that case at all would it save it and shelley as
35:54axiom
35:55delivers the elbow trying to battle his way out of that corner oh oh the funny way to do it
36:02there the
36:03most exhilarating tag teams we have ever seen here on smackdown so fast moving and they don't get any
36:09faster than nathan fraser who just got tagged in oh unbelievable pace being set early here between
36:16the motor city machine guns and fraxium of course we saw sensational finish last time in that tournament
36:23with the missile dropkick leg sweep combination
36:45now they're running it back from what we saw a couple weeks ago out onto the floor stereo kicks
36:52from shelley and saban and that was a little veteran move right there from the motor city machine because
36:57there's a couple of fast-paced tag competitors as we're about to see here they know they can't match
37:03fraxium when it comes to pure speed but they certainly have a little savvy nows and veteran wiles
37:10to step away at just the right time to watch fraxium crash and burn
37:19and now when you get the upper hand against these two you better make it count
37:23and going for it right away is alex shelley
37:34and this is nice from alex shelley you slow this match right down you double down on punishment you
37:41keep one of them isolated in your corner and get back to doing what the motor city machine guns do
37:47best
37:47which is win tag team matches
37:52and suddenly all that bickering we saw
37:55from the motor city machine guns over the past couple of weeks feels like it was a very long time
38:00ago
38:01absolutely in sync and firing on all cylinders are they ever of course that is what brought them
38:07great success upon their arrival in wwe came to wwe
38:132024 and held the titles up until december of 24 won the championships within a month
38:19of getting to this roster we're going to put it away right here
38:23axiom able to kick out yeah and it's part of the problem with coming into wwe and instantly having
38:29a massive amount of success every tag team in that locker room suddenly puts the bullseye on you and
38:35everyone knows that's the team we're going to take down
38:37and they start changing the questions they throw at you and it took a little while for motor city
38:43machine guns to get up to speed with the tag division here how frenetic it is on smackdown
38:48of course this division now has new champs damian priest and r-truth just moments ago
38:54toppling the mfts to become the wwe tag team champs wait just take yourself back to four weeks ago
39:00can you imagine if i'd have told you hey joe test in four weeks time the tag team champs here
39:05on
39:05smackdown are going to be damian priest and archery you would have laughed me out of that i mean damian
39:10priest was stunned to find out that they were going to be in the number one contenders tournament
39:15he was asking questions saying what are you talking about hastily thrown together but when
39:19opportunity knocks you have to answer especially wrestlemania season four weeks to go to wrestlemania
39:25are now heading in to the road to wrestlemania as tag champs are true from damian priest and
39:31two tag teams in the ring right now certainly wouldn't mind chancing their arm with an opportunity
39:36against the new tag champs
39:50great tag team action that we have seen here in raleigh north carolina on friday night smackdown
39:55and out on the floor right now this is axiom and the motor city machine guns oh it's smashing down
40:02saban to the apron is axiom well the machine guns have been in complete control for the past several
40:08minutes but things just change in a big way the human blood nathan fraser taking out both men
40:16all that speed that dynamic ability he has and look at him quickly getting to the top rope
40:24fraser with the splash and shelly had to be there right in the nick of time that was pinpoint timing
40:32from the veteran alex shelley of course it was a couple weeks ago when saban was being pinned and
40:38shelley moved his foot onto the rope but the ref didn't see it we got a three count instead that
40:41was
40:41in the midst of that tag team turmoil number one contenders match absolutely wild riding things breaking
40:47down here i think axiom is the legal man here was a quick tag look at this
40:56just supreme teamwork by fraxia and somehow able to get that shoulder up and the motor city machine guns
41:05are still alive incredulous is nathan fraser that should have got the job done but with a competitor
41:11the caliber of chris saban you never quite know but what else can you cook up here for axiom
41:19saban who was very pointed in recent week turning to shelley saying how committed are you to mcmg
41:26he said go out there and prove it this was the rematch he wanted to see them prove it well
41:32a victory
41:32tonight would certainly go a long way to prove it but that is looking unlikely oh throwing him off just
41:38at
41:38right time with saban beautiful from chris saban and a quick tag two to alex shelley i'm not sure if
41:45fraxium saw that and this is just the motor city machine guns coming into their own just at a critical
41:57time and a late kick out there from nathan fraser was it oh hold on and it's ray coming out
42:03to the
42:04entry ramp well alex shelley has had a mentor relationship with loray's husband johnny gargano
42:12who's in a deep funk at the moment and i'm not quite sure what candace loray is doing out here
42:18perhaps
42:18just being a passive observer to this high octane matchup we still need a victor here oh wow what a
42:26kick from
42:27axiom things going south now for the motor city machine guns and they are revving up the dive train
42:36fraxium has found the rhythm would you look at this on the motor city machine guns who were in complete
42:45control a couple of minutes ago now at sixes and sevens all over the place and it could be fraxium
42:52going in for the kill here oh but instead shelley ripping down axiom yeah these loads critical
43:00moments oh wait up a shot wait oh looking for a quick one and they get it hold on
43:09here are your winners motor city machine guns while there was a punch in the middle of
43:18that that came from candace loray to the face of nathan fraser a quick pin after i don't think
43:25chris saban knew anything about that alex shelley may have seen something but i'll tell you what joe
43:31when things aren't going your way you take a win any way you can get it and that is a
43:37massive victory
43:38tonight for the motor city machine gun folks let's get you up to speed as to what happened when we
43:43opened
43:43up the show here in raleigh north carolina we came on the air and nothing went according to plan
43:48because of drew mcintyre and jacob batu
43:55so we came up on air clearly a tebow crash two cars one apparently driven by mcintyre into the car
44:03of
44:03fatu and then a relentless assault rained down on the face of the samoan werewolf security personnel out there
44:12trying to get control good luck with that lads and it really did look at this point like jacob
44:18fatu's night was going to be over and he was going to be heading off to a medical facility but
44:23this is
44:24the samoan werewolf he's built a little bit differently to everyone else heading out immediately
44:30to get even with mcintyre which appeared to be a bad move joe there was a level of intensity with
44:37thought too they tried to contain him he broke loose went through timekeeper and crashed through
44:44mcintyre and the entire reinforced announced desk you simply cannot contain the samoan
44:52werewolf crashing the ringside area and this is this is the aftermath joe this was the car crash
44:59when we came out in the air and there's randy orton randy orton the soon-to-be title challenger

50:57is
51:10as he said i'm wrong i'm a killer
51:13even more so when swinging that steel chair around and there is a calm hush at ringside because nobody wants
51:21to draw the attention of the viper right now
51:23just like he did a week ago when he placed it there and held that undisputed wwe championship and that
51:31playful
