00:00Drew and Jacob again everywhere.
00:03It's a smackdown fire between them that cannot be contained tonight.
00:10The following contest is scheduled for one call and is for the United States Championship.
00:18Introducing first the challenger from Moscow, Russia, laying in at 210 pounds,
00:29the Mad Dragon feels he's finally ready for the rematch he deserves.
00:34U.S. Championship match against Carmelo next.
00:46Hey, how about the breaking news today that started making buzz throughout the sports world?
00:53Well, that Dennis Rodman is going to be in the WWE Hall of Fame.
00:58The NBA legend will be part of the class of 2026.
01:03The five-time NBA champion joins this high-profile class of inductees.
01:09The Bulls saying way to go to their former star player.
01:14And, of course, Las Vegas will be the host.
01:17Everybody was getting that Taker tap when Taker taps you on the shoulder.
01:20The great Steph McMahon will be part of the class.
01:23A.J. Styles Demolition.
01:24The induction ceremony will be at Dolby Live Park Friday, April 17th.
01:29And tickets are now available at Ticketmaster.
01:57And his opponent from Boston, Massachusetts.
02:12And he has dealt with the parade of the Open Challenge with a plump.
02:18Dragunov and Hayes, they just get it, Wade.
02:20They've been doing it the right way.
02:22Yeah, and this is almost an easier one for Carl Mello Hayes.
02:27And I say that with Iliad Dragold, one of the most devastating competitors we've ever seen here on SmackDown.
02:34But Mello actually knows who he's facing.
02:37He's faced him before and has strategies in his head to defend against his offense
02:41rather than random superstars from the world.
02:45Triple A, Raw, SmackDown, NXT turning up and Mello having to quickly formulate a play.
02:50But they have been all-time classics when they've gotten together,
02:54like what we saw the day after Christmas when Hayes defeated the Mad Dragon.
02:59I mean, that was an instant classic when Carmelo won the title.
03:02Yeah, no doubt about it.
03:03And these two have kind of been married to each other as opponents for the past four years.
03:07They've been competing all the way back in NXT for the NXT Championship.
03:10And that has simply continued here on SmackDown.
03:14And they certainly bring the best out of one another.
03:17Well, doesn't that just sum up Iliad Dragold off what we just saw?
03:20Slapping himself in the face.
03:22Driving Hayes to the far corner.
03:24And putting on an attack of chops and headbutts.
03:28The Mad Dragon truly is unleashed tonight.
03:31This is a Mad Dragon, Dragunov, who has refused his opportunity at rematches several times against Carmelo Hayes.
03:39I think the explanation is that Iliad has been at war with himself in his own mind,
03:45constantly in turmoil, but now realizes to be the man he wants to be.
03:49He has to take the shot.
03:51And shot being taken at Carmelo Hayes.
03:54A lot of self-reflection with Dragunov and his life's journey and everything he has seen in life
04:01and those he appreciates, especially his mother.
04:03Oh, the Constantine special!
04:06Oh, the torque of the Constantine special!
04:31You know, we sit here calling the action the United States Championship between Carmelo Hayes and Dragunov.
04:37And you start getting into the match call as he's looking at Regain Gold right here.
04:41And then you say to yourself, yeah, what else did you expect?
04:45You know what? It has been a highly respectful rivalry between these two.
04:51But what I like about it, they are hitting every shot with a little extra stank.
04:56And believe it or not, that's respectful too, because you know the caliber of opponent you're in there with.
05:02And you know, for a fact, if I'm going to beat this guy, if I'm going to leave as the
05:06United States Champion,
05:08I have to give this guy everything I've got, even if I like the guy.
05:21Just the look of shock in the eyes of Carmelo Hayes as what he's up against tonight.
05:29Yanilia Dragunov, who is giving you everything he's got.
05:32And finally, maybe a little breathing room for Carmelo Hayes.
05:36And breathing is exactly what that man needs to do right now.
05:39Yeah, the kick giving him just a little bit of separation and gather himself.
05:42Still down on one knee.
05:44Sold out here at the Lenovo Center.
05:46Home to the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes.
05:48And this sellout crowd, let's go Melo.
05:52Trying to rally support for the U.S. Champion.
05:56Pretty much a 50-50 split in the fan base here.
05:59They're like both superstars equally.
06:02And especially that roar we heard when Dragunov hit that Konstantin special a little earlier.
06:08Snaps Suplex.
06:09And right into that Lenovo Press cover.
06:11Getting that left shoulder up is Hayes.
06:13And that is one thing historically in this game that has always resonated with the fan base.
06:18Any superstar who is willing to throw down a drop of a hat.
06:23Or both of these superstars exemplify that.
06:26Do they ever.
06:27Dragunov slams down Hayes and goes up top to the second rope.
06:33That knee just landing across the sternum.
06:47Both superstars seemingly slowing down somewhat now.
06:50Now the toll has been taken on both of their bodies and lungs burning already.
06:58And surprisingly getting dropped.
07:00A little easier at this point is Karl Melo.
07:03Hayes now.
07:04Huge shot to the back of the head too.
07:06Did you see that head snap on Hayes?
07:08Maybe the gloves are really starting to come off in this one.
07:10Seems that way, doesn't it?
07:19Look at him in position and stretch him out.
07:21But Hayes is trying to lock up that arm.
07:32John Wade with you in this great scene here in Raleigh, North Carolina.
07:35Sold out Lenovo Center.
07:37You're watching the United States Championship match.
07:39Carmelo Hayes and Ilya Dragunov.
07:41And a few weeks ago, Wade, Ilya Dragunov was offered this rematch to go after the title that he once
07:47had.
07:47He didn't accept it.
07:48He said, I want to earn it, deserve it.
07:50I want to become the warrior again.
07:53This version of Dragunov appears to be the warrior again.
07:56Well, Melo is a proud champion.
07:58Wanted to have this rematch with the former champion.
08:02The man he beat for the gold.
08:03However, Melo might be regretting that now.
08:06Because something has awoken inside of Ilya Dragunov.
08:10And this is the absolute best in-ring version of him that you will ever see.
08:15Trying to regain that U.S. title right here.
08:17And that right shoulder gets up from Hayes.
08:20Carmelo Hayes is starting to look spent right now.
08:23But if he just gets a glimpse of that championship, it might give him a little more fuel to try
08:29and get back into this one.
08:30There it is ringside.
08:31The U.S. Championship for Carmelo Hayes.
08:33This is the eighth defense of that championship.
08:3791 days he has held.
08:39And, of course, Ilya Dragunov really set the tone.
08:42He had seven successful defenses in only 63 days.
08:53Just when there was a moment of hope for Carmelo Hayes to fight his way back.
08:57Dragunov answers.
08:58And now up on the shoulders.
08:59And Dragunov fights his way out of position.
09:02Well, Dragunov is giving Melo absolutely nothing in this one.
09:06But Melo is now starting to take things for himself.
09:10Dirty Diana and into the cover.
09:14And catching Ilya Dragunov by surprise there.
09:18Finally, a flurry from Carmelo Hayes.
09:21And you sense something just changed.
09:26Hayes.
09:28Oh, what a big uppercut and a chomp.
09:30And now he looks to regain momentum here.
09:33Well, this is where Melo really has to be innovative and resourceful.
09:36Because plan A certainly was not working for the United States champion.
09:41Plenty more plans where that came from.
09:44In history.
09:45Oh, God.
09:46Oh, God.
09:46Nasty landing, though, for Melo.
09:49Took all of that on the top of the head.
09:51Did Ilya Dragunov.
09:52But ribs first into the desk.
09:54Now blocking out the pain is Carmelo Hayes.
09:57And that is considerable pain.
09:59Believe me.
10:02Melo perhaps looking to put this one to bed while he still can.
10:05Up top and a big splash.
10:08And you can see how effective he is.
10:11Yeah, that was about as terrible a pin as you can ever pull off.
10:14But it was a pin nonetheless.
10:16His one.
10:17Oh, man.
10:18Into the corner of that steel desk.
10:21And then landing once again.
10:23But his body on the line to try and win.
10:25A pin in any way you can at this point.
10:29But Dragunov just about kicking out.
10:31A hook leg there might have done it.
10:32That impact on the side of the desk.
10:36The risk-reward by Carmelo Hayes.
10:39And it was risky.
10:40And he felt it.
10:42Yeah, and those ribs just took the sting out of that attack from Carmelo Hayes.
10:47And Dragunov did not need a second invite.
10:50But now with a major spring in his step is the challenger.
10:55Dragunov with the senton flying high.
10:59He was that close to getting the U.S. championship back.
11:04Two absolute fanatics in that ring.
11:07Putting their body on the line as reckless as they come.
11:12That is how important victory and gold is to these two men.
11:16Oh, God.
11:18Oh, man.
11:19Oh, man.
11:20With the first 48 midair.
11:23And then look at this.
11:26Joe, foot on the road.
11:28Oh, God.
11:51The crowd could not appreciate
11:53the efforts of Hayes
11:55and Dragunov more
11:58as they battle
11:59for the U.S. Championship
12:01here in Raleigh, North Carolina.
12:05Wow, what a sequence.
12:07A coast-to-coast attempt
12:10from Ilya Dragunov
12:11counted with the first 48 mid-air
12:14counted again by an H-bomb
12:16and a foot on the rope
12:18from Carl Mallon-Hayes.
12:19That should have been over
12:20four times in a row
12:21in the blink of an eye
12:22but still it goes on
12:25and what a banger
12:26we're getting tonight in Raleigh.
12:27Bringing the best out of each other.
12:30This is what happened moments ago.
12:32It was like coast-to-coast attempt.
12:34Killed to first 48.
12:35He's outright.
12:36No, he's not.
12:37H-bomb to the jaw.
12:39Pin.
12:39One, two, three.
12:40New jump.
12:41Oh, foot on the rope by Carl Mallon-Hayes.
12:44How he was able to control himself
12:47for just that moment
12:48to land the H-bomb is remarkable.
12:51Absolutely astounding performance
12:53from two men
12:54and I hate one thing here.
12:56One of these guys
12:57is going to have to lose tonight
12:58and that feels like a crime
13:00after the performance
13:01they both have put in.
13:04Try harder!
13:06Try harder!
13:08Ilya Dragunov just wanting more
13:10from his opponent here.
13:12Try harder!
13:14Any sane human being
13:16would just want their opponent
13:18to give up.
13:19Don't prolong this fight,
13:21this agony anymore
13:22but Ilya Dragunov
13:24is just built differently.
13:25You hear them!
13:26Let's go, Beto!
13:27You hear them!
13:28You gotta go!
13:40Once again,
13:41those ribs of Carl Mallon-Hayes
13:42being attacked
13:43with that bear hug.
13:44So difficult
13:45to break his way out
13:46but got a little breathing room
13:48but a step ahead again
13:49is the challenger.
13:50German in the bridging.
13:54And I don't know
13:56if Ilya Dragunov
13:58has ever come across
13:59the word fatigue
14:02because he simply
14:03just keeps ticking.
14:05What an absolute dynamo
14:06this man must have
14:07somewhere inside his body.
14:09He is the ultimate
14:10high-motor guy.
14:13Just as he was
14:15making that gesture
14:16for the championship,
14:17he eats that boot.
14:20Well, Mallow's trying
14:21everything he can
14:22but everything he's throwing
14:23is just bouncing off
14:25Ilya Dragunov
14:26who is like
14:27a man possessed
14:28in that ring
14:29this evening.
14:34Massive chop.
14:35Could hear it across
14:36most of Central North Carolina.
14:38Oh!
14:39The springboard
14:40clothesline.
14:42like a puma
14:43leaping off
14:45the ropes.
14:50This has been
14:52a thriller.
14:53The United States
14:53Championship.
14:54Carmelo Hayes
14:55defending
14:55against the former
14:56champion
14:57Ilya Dragunov.
14:58I mean the sequence
14:59we saw moments ago
15:00with the mid-air
15:01first 48
15:01countered by the H-bomb
15:02only to have the foot
15:03on the rope
15:04by Carmelo Hayes.
15:05Back and forth
15:06they go.
15:06he was looking
15:07for that DDT
15:08onto the apron
15:10but instead
15:10Dragunov
15:12with a counterattack.
15:13There are two men
15:13putting in
15:14an A-plus performance
15:16tonight.
15:16The third thing is
15:17death valley driver
15:19right
15:20onto the ring apron.
15:23No give.
15:23For one of these men
15:24an A-plus performance
15:26is going to lead
15:27to a loss.
15:29A loss.
15:30Look at the face
15:31of Dragunov.
15:32You know he draws
15:33upon all the inspiration
15:34from his mother
15:35who courageously
15:36moved with him
15:37as a young boy
15:38couldn't speak the language
15:38in a foreign country
15:39found a way to survive.
15:41Dragunov always inspired
15:42and motivated
15:43and he has rekindled
15:44the spirit and the fire
15:45to be the warrior
15:46inside of him
15:47for this rematch.
15:48With a freakish level
15:49of focus here
15:50from Ilya Dragunov
15:51who has not relented
15:53since the opening bout.
15:55Carmelo Hayes
15:56is living dangerously here.
15:58Look at this scene
15:59here in Raleigh.
16:01Oh!
16:03Melo!
16:04What a reversal!
16:06Incredible counter
16:07to retain!
16:10And the Mad Dragon
16:12something deep down
16:14inside of him.
16:15There's no quit.
16:16Well what a reversal.
16:17Superplex attempt
16:18turned into a mid-air cutter
16:20by Carmelo Hayes
16:22and this is a
16:22heavily hurt
16:24Carmelo Hayes
16:25who's ribs may be busted
16:27from earlier in the match
16:28and still struggling
16:30to pull off
16:31a basic pin
16:32because his body
16:34is in so much agony.
16:35Just off to the side
16:36is that title
16:37the United States Championship.
16:40Hayes and Dragunov
16:41the ribs on Hayes
16:43greatly affected
16:44when he was flying
16:45out of the ring
16:45and caught the corner
16:46and caught the corner
16:47of our announce desk.
16:57The Mad Dragon
16:58wants the best version
17:00of Hayes
17:01and he's getting it.
17:07They're hitting each other
17:08so hard
17:09that they're generating
17:10momentum
17:11off the far ropes.
17:13Both refusing to drop
17:15because if you drop
17:16you might not be getting
17:18back up in this world.
17:19What a level change there
17:20to go down to the knees.
17:22How about Melo?
17:26And then a big
17:28monstrous boot.
17:31Drag it off
17:32because that wasn't
17:33going to be enough
17:34but maybe this
17:35will do it.
17:36Type in.
17:37Stacking him.
17:37Oh, how does Hayes
17:39find a way
17:40time and again?
17:41And how do you
17:41write either
17:42Manov
17:42after performances
17:43like this
17:44and again
17:45attack on the ribs?
17:47Could be right here.
17:48Again, Carmelo
17:50stays alive.
17:52Carmelo
17:53Hayes
17:53clinging on.
17:55That is true
17:55championship drive
17:57right there
17:57from Carmelo
17:58but it might be
17:59from nothing here.
18:00Incoming.
18:02The Mad Dragon
18:04has set his sight.
18:06Oh!
18:07First 48
18:09midair.
18:10Melo to retain.
18:12No!
18:13No!
18:15Oh God.
18:16An attempt
18:18at Torpedo
18:19Moscow
18:20would have been
18:21the death knell
18:22for Carmelo
18:23Hayes'
18:23championship reign.
18:25First 48
18:26a late late
18:27kick out
18:28and Melo
18:29sends his victory
18:30here going up tall.
18:32He may want
18:32nothing but net
18:33right here.
18:35Able to get
18:35out of the way
18:36is Dragunov.
18:37There it is!
18:39Torpedo
18:39Moscow!
18:42A doubling
18:43down on it.
18:44He's going

18:45bomb.
18:45He knows
18:46he needs
18:46something extra
18:47to put him
18:47away.
18:47Sunset flip!
18:49Sunset flip!

20:40place up and
20:40this is the
20:41same hallways
20:42they used to
20:42be afraid of.
20:44But you did
20:44the work to
20:45change that.
20:46You became a
20:47better person.
20:48You became a
20:48better man.
20:50And I just
20:50don't understand
20:51why you're
20:51fighting so
20:52hard to go

21:08changed this
21:08business by
21:09himself.
21:10And I'm

22:27King Wilson.
22:31King Wilson.
22:34King Wilson.
22:35King Wilson.
22:36King Wilson.
22:36Ladies and
22:36gentlemen,
22:37please welcome
22:37Ken Wilson.
22:41Here you go,
22:43Wade.
22:44More condemnation,
22:45admonishing, and
22:46aiming that BB
22:47gun of toxic
22:48target practice.
22:51Hit calling out
22:52jelly roll next.
23:08You got something to say,
23:09Paul?
23:10I see you got a
23:10microphone in your
23:11hand there.
23:12F-A-F-Y!
23:18F-A-F-Y!
23:28Seth is now
23:29surrounded by these
23:30hooded men
23:31acting as a shield.
23:33Lesnar making
23:34his job.
23:39Chuck Lesnar
23:40just wiping
23:41people out.
23:43Good God!
23:44Body's being
23:46thrown everywhere
23:47by Lesnar!
24:09All the
24:10fanny is here!
24:11Look at
24:12you!
24:21Oh, my God, Brock!
25:04As if that fall from grace wasn't enough, that scene of Ova with his foot on Brock Lesnar's
25:11chest, that's a critical juncture moment in the sport that we could be talking about
25:16for years and years, and there it is, to see those two titans, those two names listed for
25:24WrestleMania, it is coming our way, and Wade, the tail of the tape, does it get better than
25:31those numbers?
25:32Oh, John, two of the biggest behemoth powerhouses we have ever seen in this industry, one with
25:4020-plus years at the top in the fight game under his belt, what relatively fresh is the
25:48future now?
25:49Can Ova Febby beat Brock Lesnar?
25:53We will find out at WrestleMania in Las Vegas.
25:57Yeah, you're reading that correct when you see 56-inch chest on Lesnar.
26:01Bones for the Crows by Nickelback is the official theme song of WrestleMania 42.
26:06Available now wherever music is sold for stream, Bones for the Crows, Nickelback.
26:17It will send.
26:20Jelly Roll!
26:22Jelly Roll!
26:24You crossed the line last week.
26:26You started this fight.
26:28So tonight, I finish it.
26:32Because where I come from, if you cause a problem,
26:36we settle it like men.
26:39So get your ass out here.
26:44Come on.
26:45Come on.
26:46You know I got it.
26:47Come and get it.
26:48Who's your baby?
26:50Who's your baby?
26:52Who's your buddy?
26:54Oh, he's fast, striving to get there too, Wade.
26:57Walking with a purpose.
26:59Let's not forget, Jelly Roll threw a huge haymaker at Kit Wilson last week.
27:04A haymaker that missed and caught the miss right on the jaw.
27:09And Kit Wilson wants no part of that despite calling out Jelly Roll.
27:15And Jelly Roll is here to fire.
27:17I need your hands.
27:19Come on.
27:20I tell you what, Kit Wilson.
27:22If this is what you wanted, this is what you got.
27:25I don't know what you thought you were gonna give when you called me out, boy.
27:28But we finna fight right here in Raleigh, North Carolina.
27:32So I better get a referee and win that damn bill.
27:35Oh, he wants this right now.
27:37Oh, I hope we get it.
27:39Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Jelly.
27:41Once again, the bravado, the ego, is maybe two steps ahead of the brain.
27:48I said we settle this like civilized gentlemen.
27:57I don't fight with my fists.
28:01I fight with my words.
28:05He's a big man.
28:07I like it.
28:08Go get me a flannel shirt.
28:11Do what?
28:13Did I hear you right?
28:15Did you call me?
28:16This is getting weird, man.
28:18Did you bring me all the way to Raleigh to have a rap battle with you?
28:24I mean, hold on, hold on, hold on.
28:26Don't get me wrong.
28:27I think you're a decent dancer.
28:30But you ain't no rapper.
28:33Jelly, don't you dare compare me to a rapper.
28:39I am so much better than them and so much better than you.
28:43No, no rap battle tonight.
28:47Tonight, we have slam poetry.
29:00You got a book?
29:03You brought a book?
29:11Jelly,
29:12Hey!
29:12You can talk all you want, but you've got no class.
29:17Just a couple of ugly face tattoos and a criminal past.
29:25Hey!
29:26Hey!
29:27But well done on losing that weight and looking so damn thin.
29:31All I see is a melted blob of skin.
29:42You're fat phobic.
29:44You're toxic.
29:45You're toxic.
29:46I might even call you a jerk.
29:48But hey!
29:49At least we got proof.
29:51Oh, Zen pic does work.
29:57I got more.
29:59I got more.
30:01Jelly.
30:03You try to inspire, but to me, it's a little bit silly.
30:08Hey!
30:08Congrats on losing 300 pounds.
30:10Maybe now you can see your little Willie.
30:25Maybe now you can see your little Willie.
30:27That was pretty good.
30:29That was pretty good.
30:30I didn't, I didn't bring a little book or nothing.
30:34But, uh, I might have a little something for you.
30:40Oh, Mr. Kit Wilson came in and tried to destroy me.
30:44But I don't have to see my Willie.
30:46Your mother sees it for me.
30:48Ooh.
30:51Cracks.
30:54Oh, oh.
31:03You talk about Ozipic.
31:05That's really original, y'all.
31:07Hey, Jelly's really fat.
31:09Your mother could have told you that.
31:11I put my belly on her back.
31:14This is disgusting.
31:16I'mma find it.
31:18I'mma find it.
31:24That's down right there.
31:29Oh!
31:30This clocked him a cheap shot from behind!
31:34Oh, oh, Kit Wilson just unloading!
31:37Oh, Jelly Roll and Kit Wilson has snapped!
31:41He wanted the Poetry Slam, he couldn't handle it.
31:43Oh!
31:48Just laying out, Jelly Roll after that big splash.
31:51And now going up top to the top rope!
31:54Kit Wilson!
31:58Oh!
31:59That flying!
32:01Corkscrew elbow!
32:02Oh!
32:03Tapsic, Tapsic!
32:04Landed in absolute beauty!
32:07Wordsworth with a pen!
32:09And even more dangerous with his fists
32:14Toxicity be gone
32:22You do not have to keep reminding me
32:25Okay, I am aware of the outcome of that match
32:29You didn't get the job done
32:31Now Tiffany thinks she can disrespect me
32:35So next week, I'll put her in her place
32:39I don't know how many times I have to tell you that I'm sorry
32:41Uh-oh
32:43Trouble in paradise, ladies
32:44Well, you know how the old saying goes
32:50The enemy of my enemy is my friend
32:55Tiffany, let's all work together and we can go
32:58I don't need any help from you
33:01Okay, that was rude
33:04I'm actually one of the best respects
33:06Oh, I like that
33:12Irresistible Forces Women's Tag Team Championship match
33:15Next
33:18Monday
33:19Expect
33:21The unexpected
33:22Oh my God, Brock!
33:25Holy
33:26Has the road to Wrestlemania
33:28You, that title on your waist
33:31It's an embarrassment
33:32At the end of the day
33:34You're old
33:35Gets personal
33:37Brock Lesnar
33:39CM Punk
33:40And Roman Reigns
33:42Live from Boston
33:43Raw
33:44Monday, 8 Eastern, 5 Pacific
33:46Only on Netflix
34:12Yo, Nick, I don't know what kind of sideshow you're running here, dawg
34:15But I want it with, I want the smoke with Kit Wilson and I want it ASAP
34:19You want Kit Wilson?
34:20I want him
34:20How about next week?
34:21Pittsburgh
34:22You and Kit Wilson, one-on-one
34:23You got it
34:23Pittsburgh, I'll be there, Nick
34:27Well, I love that
34:28Joey rolling Kit Wilson next week
34:30Ooh
34:31Yes
34:31Meanwhile, right now
34:33We have the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions in the ring
34:37Nia and Lash
34:39The irresistible forces
34:41They are
34:53You can't dream it
34:59I'm a star
35:08Introducing the challengers
35:10They are WWE Hall of Famers
35:14Nikki and Bree
35:15The Bella Twins
35:20I'm feeling a little magic, Joe
35:23A little twin magic
35:25Yep, the Hall of Famers have gotten their way right into the mix
35:29And a title shot is in front of them now
35:34Incredibly, given how long this tag team has been together
35:37How they are the legendary OG Women's Tag Team of the modern era
35:42This is their first ever opportunity at tag gold here in WWE
35:49Why? Because those shiny championships were not around the pack on the Bella's original run
35:55Well, now it's time to make up for some lost time
35:58Yep, that's right
35:59And that's unique to this matchup here
36:01That the Bella Twins haven't competed together since 2018
36:06Trying to get off to a fast start here
36:07And these championships
36:09The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
36:11Created in 2019
36:132019
36:13So that's unique to their Hall of Fame resume
36:16To be absent something like that
36:19But here's the opportunity right here in North Carolina
36:21Yeah, so this is another defense of the gold
36:23Same as last week for the Irresistible Forces
36:25They defended against Flair and Bliss
36:27And the Bellas were ringside now
36:29The Bellas got drawn into the action
36:32Causing a disqualification
36:34They're effectively costing Flair and Bliss
36:36Their opportunity
36:37Which I'm sure did not sit well
36:39With competitors like Flair and Bliss
36:42They were actually invited to come down
36:43And watch this first hand by the Bellas
36:46However, they don't as yet
36:48Seem to have taken them up on it
36:49Here comes Bree
36:53Driving in
36:54To the back of Nia Jax
36:56That was interesting last week
36:57When you had Charlotte and Alexis
36:59Seemingly potentially closing in
37:01On the championship
37:02Against the Irresistible Forces
37:04When things went south
37:05With the Bellas entering the fray
37:07And then in the end Nia Jax
37:09Hitting that leg drop on Nikki Bella
37:11Such a competitive division
37:13It just shows it's been years and years
37:15Since the Bellas last tagged up even
37:17Probably seven or eight years
37:19And Bree Bella especially
37:22That's the one in the long pants
37:23For those who aren't quite sure
37:25Understandably
37:26Bree Bella only competed
37:28At the Royal Rumble
37:31And then this is effectively
37:32Her first match back
37:34And it is a championship match
37:36And wait a second
37:38We were just mentioning
37:41Charlotte Flair
37:42Making a grand entrance
37:44To former tag champs
37:46Oh
37:47And what a distraction
37:48That was from the Bellas
37:49And Lash Legend takes advantage
37:52As Alexa Bliss
37:54And Charlotte Flair
37:55Make their way towards the ring
38:16WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
38:18And the roar you hear
38:20From this sold out crowd
38:21Is because
38:22Of the arrival
38:23Of Charlotte Flair
38:25And Alexa Bliss
38:26Welcome aboard ladies
38:28Plenty of world championships
38:30Between these two
38:31And they've also had
38:32Some tag championships too
38:33And now
38:34Taking a close eye
38:35And what an entrance
38:36Major distraction
38:38And it may have cost
38:39The balance here
38:40Because they were in control
38:41Until that music
38:43Of Charlotte Flair hit
38:45Perhaps a little payback
38:46After last week
38:49Now out on the floor
38:50And Nia Jax
38:52Just slamming Nikki's head
38:54Into the front
38:55Of our announce desk
38:57Very little you can do
38:59To stop Nia Jax
39:01When she's in complete control
39:02Oh look out
39:03Oh
39:03She smashes her
39:05Right into the chairs
39:06Of Bliss and Flair
39:08Bliss and Flair
39:09Far from impressed
39:10With that
39:11It's kind of the reverse
39:12Of what happened last week
39:13When they got thrown
39:14Into the Bella Twins
39:16And we know where that led
39:22Back in the ring
39:24As Nia
39:25Getting the best of Nikki
39:28Is there a hotter division
39:30Here on Smackdown
39:31Than this women's tag division
39:33Over the past 18 months or so
39:34Every woman who is anyone
39:36Has wanted a piece of it
39:38Oh
39:39Not slowing down at all
39:41The brutality of Lash legend
39:44Is Nia just
39:46Holds Nikki like prey
39:47And then slams her down
39:49And right back to business
39:50Is legend
39:52Legend has all the physical
39:54Talents and attributes
39:55Anybody could ever want
39:56But the best asset she has
39:58Is the fact that she's
39:59A fantastic student
40:01And she listens
40:02To the mentor
40:03The veteran
40:04Nia Jax
40:05And executes the plan
40:06To perfection
40:07That's why they hold the gold
40:09That's why you struggle
40:10To see how any team
40:12Can dethrone them
40:13Although the ballads
40:14Are going to give it
40:15A real college try here
40:18Nikki desperate
40:19To get to her twin sister
40:25Inches away
40:26But it must have felt
40:27Like a million miles
40:28With the power of
40:29Lash legend
40:30Throwing your frame
40:31Across the ring
40:35With ease
40:36Now flair and bliss
40:40Are insisting
40:41They have next
40:42At whoever wins
40:43The gold tonight
40:45Of course
40:48Increasingly looking
40:49Like a successful defense
40:51For the irresistible forces
40:52But Nikki
40:53Lash legend is playing
40:54With her food there
40:54With that arrogant
40:55Foot on the chest
40:57For a cover
40:57You're not going to
40:58Put away Nikki Bella
40:59That easily
41:00She's a hall of famer
41:02For a reason
41:03And she's showing you
41:04Exactly why
41:05Right now
41:06Smart move
41:07By Nikki
41:17The Bella Twins
41:18The hall of famers
41:20Reunited
41:21And battling
41:22For the WWE
41:23Women's Tag Team
41:24Championship
41:24Here against the
41:25Irresistible forces
41:27And here is
41:28Brie
41:29Missile dropkick
41:30Against Nia Jax
41:32Just about
41:32Connecting there
41:33And we are
41:35Going
41:36Into
41:37Brie Mode
41:40And there it is
41:42With the Brie Mode
41:43Knee
41:43Absolute bullseye
41:45And Nia Jax
41:46Is now rocked
41:47No
41:47Nia
41:49Brie looking
41:50For the exit
41:50Uh oh
41:52Bad position to be in
41:53But quick
41:54To move out
41:55Of the way
41:55Is Brie
41:56Yeah if you can't
41:57Match the power
41:58Of Nia Jax
41:59You better be nimble
42:00And Brie Bella
42:01Was as nimble
42:02As they come there
42:04Here we go Joe
42:07Say it with her
42:11The yes kicks
42:12Getting the best
42:13Of Nia Jax
42:14So much momentum
42:15Now for Brie Bella
42:17Oh
42:17Last legend
42:18Was looking for
42:18That big pump kick

42:20She is denied
42:24Oh
42:25Oh no
42:26Pop up
42:26Headbutt
42:27From Nia Jax
42:30Recovering nicely

42:48Charlotte Flair
42:49And Alexa Bliss
42:50At ringside
42:51Looking up
42:52They had their
42:53Opportunity
42:54Blown
42:54Last week
42:55And now
42:56They're insisting
42:57They're getting
42:57The winner
42:58Of this one
42:59Yeah they were
42:59So close
43:00Flair
43:00And Bliss
43:01To potentially
43:02Toppling
43:03Irresistible
43:04Forces
43:04But the Bellas
43:05Arrived
43:06And that match
43:07Went south

43:38And it had to be
43:39Oh wow
43:40A bellabuster
43:41That connected
43:43Just when they
43:44Had to have it
43:45To turn things
43:46Around and
43:46Driving her back
43:48Right into the
43:49Corner of the
43:49Apron

44:05Well Jax was
44:06Lining up for a
44:07Shot on Brie

44:21Well the
44:21Bellas
44:22I rate that
44:22Their chance

44:26Fair was
44:26Trying to
44:27Protect the

45:47Forces
45:48For
45:48Back
45:49To
45:49Back
45:50Weeks
46:01Listen
46:02I'm glad I picked up
46:03You're right
46:06I'm gonna go to the ring right now
46:08And I'm gonna fix it
46:17So Randy Orton
46:18So Randy Orton apparently coming back out our way
46:24I got you right where I want you
46:32You wouldn't be here without me
46:34I'm the champ and I call the shots
46:38I'm picking you
46:40I'm picking you because I hate you
46:41I've always hated you
46:46The tribal team and the best in the world in the main event at Wrestlemania
46:54I'm gonna bury you
46:57You will
46:59Acknowledge me
47:07Well just 29 days away from Wrestlemania in Vegas
47:11The two night extravaganza
47:13Of course be live on April 18th and 19th with a start time of 6pm eastern and 3pm pacific
47:21On Saturday night night 1 the first hour is gonna be live on ESPN 2
47:24Then Sunday night 2 the first hour will be live on ESPN
47:29Now full coverage of both nights will be on the ESPN app with ESPN unlimited
47:34It is Wrestlemania for the first time ever on ESPN
47:47It's been a wild night here in Raleigh, North Carolina
47:50And next week is shaping up to be an outstanding card in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
47:55Let's show you what is coming your way
47:57Just moments ago we saw Jelly Roll and Kit Wilson having a poetry slam in the ring
48:03And now General Manager Nick Aldis has said
48:05We don't need poetry, you can just fight
48:07Wilson against Jelly Roll next week in Pittsburgh, Wade
48:11And we heard a little run from Julia earlier in the show
48:16That is the United States Champion Julia
48:18While she will be defending gold next week
48:22Against the former world champ Tiffany Stratton on Smackdown in Pittsburgh
48:27And the last two weeks the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
48:32Has been on the line
48:34And we had no contest, each of them
48:37So the top contenders are now gonna face off
48:40Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair against the Bella Twins
48:44Next week Smackdown in Pittsburgh
48:47I love my money for my man
48:49Means you wanna dim it
48:50Just believe I'm gonna be at your head
48:52One, two, three, four
48:53Six, four, five, six, seven, eight
48:57I have voices in my head
49:00They count for me
49:01They understand
49:02They talk for me
49:20On this road to Wrestlemania
49:21It took a sharp turn because of Batman
49:25It's a violent, dangerous, very sharp turn
49:29And that came with a Viper strike a week ago
49:34And I'll tell you this, Joe
49:36There is a look on the face of Randy Orton
49:40That shows a hint of guilt
49:43And what was he said on the phone for that mystery call
49:45That I made an error
49:46Let me go fix it
49:48It was almost a softening of the Viper
49:52When he chanted with his old friend Jelly Roll earlier
49:55So an acknowledgement that perhaps you went a little too far
49:59A little, come on
50:00It was a lot more than a little, Joe
50:02But I appreciate your diplomacy
50:04And this is the Randy Orton of all
50:08And he has a major fixing job to do right now
50:13Namely, at minimum, an apology to Cody Rhodes
50:17To God knows what state he's in right now
50:20Of course, earlier tonight
50:27The interaction backstage with Matt Cardona
50:31Everybody reacting to what they saw
50:33A week ago
50:38And this is what happened
50:39As a matter of fact, I'm done
50:41I'm done
50:46I'm done
50:47Stay
50:49Out of my business
50:50You wouldn't understand
50:53Of course, Randy has explained
50:55Anything can happen
50:56When they hear those voices
50:57In his head
50:58That he said earlier tonight
50:59Cody lifted the burden
51:01Said, I want the best version of you
51:03I want that version of you
51:06But perhaps some regret
51:08In the phone call
51:08We were able to each drop in on
51:10Moments ago
51:11We will hear it from Randy
51:34Four weeks away
51:35From striking these poses
51:37In Vegas
51:38At Wrestlemania 42
51:42When he will fight
51:43For the undisputed
51:44WWE Championship
51:54I'll be honest with you, Joe
51:55I don't know what to think right now
52:16Okay, so
52:22I've got an apology
52:23That I need to make
52:24To each and every one of you
52:26But more importantly
52:26I've got an apology
52:30That I need
52:31To give to Matt Cardona
52:33So Matt
52:34Please
52:35If you would be so kind
52:37Come out to the ring
52:38I want to do this
52:39In front of everybody
52:48Always ready
52:52It's the right thing to do, Wade
52:56Well, Cardona
52:58Echoed the outrage
52:59Of the entire locker room
53:01Earlier
53:01When he stood up to Orton
53:03And gave him a piece of his mind
53:04I think most people
53:06In the locker room
53:07Were probably wise enough
53:08To not get involved
53:10But I will credit Matt Cardona
53:14With having the cojones
53:15To actually step to Randy Orton
53:17In the previous frame of mind
53:20That Randy was in
53:24A long time veteran
53:26Who's seen everything
53:26And was greatly affected
53:28Like we all were
53:28He's a damn good friend
53:30Of Cody Rhodes too
53:32Man
53:33Man
53:35I've been out of my head
53:36The last few weeks
53:37I am legitimately sorry
53:40Matt
53:40I think action figures
53:42Are cool
53:43Hell
53:43I play video games
53:44I'm so sorry
53:45For how I treated you
53:46Back there
53:47We go way back
53:48I've known you
53:48For 20 years
53:55I am sorry
53:57And I've got an apology
53:59I've got to make
53:59To Cody next week
54:01He's obviously
54:02Not here tonight
54:03But I am sorry
54:04Matt
54:05Will you forgive me?
54:32Oh what the hell
54:33Randy
54:37That's his version
54:38Of sorry
54:39He ain't sorry
54:39For a damn thing
54:40Joe
54:41You knew that
54:48What the hell
54:49Are we doing
54:50Randy
54:50Sending him out
54:51To the floor
54:52Get out of the way
54:53Here
54:57It's like an action
54:58Replay of last week
54:59Absolutely
55:00Where the hell
55:01Are the security
55:01Now
55:02Unbelievable
55:03It's just an assault
55:06Brings Cardona out
55:08To now put
55:08Oh no
55:09He's going back
55:09To the
55:10Steel steps
55:11And nobody's
55:12Coming out
55:12To help
55:14Unsurprisingly
55:15Maybe
55:17Finally
55:20Jesus
55:20He's going back
55:23He's going back
55:24Thankfully
55:24Security

56:53For a moment
56:53Wait
56:53Randy Orton
