00:00:03Oh my God! Get medical! Get medical right now!
00:00:17Drew, excuse me, we all saw the impact that you endured last week, crashing off the side of the building
00:00:22with Jacob.
00:00:23I have to ask, how are you even walking? Do you think it's smart to be here right now?
00:00:28I don't care. How am I walking? Stubbornness? Anger?
00:00:34I can still feel the glass in my hands ripping off that windshield.
00:00:38My head is still pounding when Jacob crashed through that table on my skull.
00:00:42And when he tried to kill me, pulling me off the building, I took him with me.
00:00:47I didn't come here to fight. I'm in no condition to fight.
00:00:51But if Jacob wants to start something, I'm sure as hell finish it.
00:00:56He took everything from me. He took WrestleMania from me.
00:01:01When a man's got nothing to lose, that's when he's most dangerous.
00:01:10You know I got it.
00:01:13Who's your baby? Who's your baby?
00:01:17What a moment for this superstar.
00:01:20I'll give up to this.
00:01:24The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:01:28Introducing first, Grammy award-winning, multi-plasm singer-songwriter,
00:01:34from Nashville, Tennessee, Jelly Roll!
00:01:38Yeah, what can't Jelly do?
00:01:41Dominated the Grammys, the cover of Men's Healthless Fitness Journey,
00:01:45and dominated Kit Wilson and his Little Willy Poetry Slam last week.
00:01:51Tonight, we have slam poetry.
00:01:57You're fatphobic, you're toxic, I might even call you a jerk.
00:02:03But hey, at least we got proof, Ozempic does work.
00:02:10You talk about Ozempic, that's really original, y'all.
00:02:14Hey, Jelly's really fat.
00:02:16Your mother could have told you that.
00:02:18I put my belly on her back.
00:02:24Well, that was one bar too far for Kit Wilson,
00:02:29who proceeded to launch a vicious assault on the music star,
00:02:33which culminated on this stunning elbow drop, Men Cry 2,
00:02:39as Kit Wilson continues his mission for a rip smackdown of the perceived
00:02:44toxic masculinity problem.
00:02:47There is no problem.
00:02:48That's the problem right there, Jelly Roll.
00:02:51Absolutely not a problem.
00:02:52As toxic as they come.
00:02:54Dropped 200 pounds in an attempt at Lux Maxi.
00:02:58Inspiring.
00:02:59Are you there?
00:03:02Kit Wilson!
00:03:05Kit Wilson!
00:03:23That is who Jelly Roll hopes to knock some sense into.
00:03:28Jelly seemingly weighed the perfect counter to balance Kit's constant ranting...
00:03:34Hold on.
00:03:35...against completely normalized healthy aggression and stoic traits.
00:03:39Stop that music, Jelly.
00:03:40You crossed a line last week.
00:03:42So before we fight tonight, I have to defend the honor of my mother.
00:03:49Oh, boy.
00:03:55You tell lies, Mr. Jelly, about your willy and about your belly.
00:04:03You falsely claim you met my mother, but she'd never choose you as her lover.
00:04:12To see you naked, that's far from erotic.
00:04:17My mom says hi, you are...
00:04:21I'm not talking, let's go.
00:04:24Well, Roger Kipling, eat your heart out of it.
00:04:27Oh, cheap shot.
00:04:28He attacks with the poetry book?
00:04:29Well, I'll be honest with you, you talk bad about someone's mother, that's the least you deserve.
00:04:35So here we go, Jelly Roll in a match for the first time as the uppercut comes flying in from
00:04:41Kilt Wilson.
00:04:42First time since Summerslam when he tagged with Randy Orton, and the first time Jelly Roll's ever been in singles
00:04:48action.
00:04:48Yeah, and it's Jelly Roll's gonna have to step up big here against a relative veteran in the form of
00:04:54Kit Wilson.
00:04:55The multiple tag championships in NXT.
00:04:58Oh!
00:04:58In his time, but that was one way to neuter Kit Wilson.
00:05:05Would you look at Jelly Roll?
00:05:08I mean, hitting a man between the legs is not a very masculine trait, Joe Tess.
00:05:15Jelly Roll transformed himself.
00:05:18Listen, hey, you know he's great friends with Cody Rhodes, and look at what he's doing right here.
00:05:22A little bionic.
00:05:23Oh, the kick from Kit Wilson.
00:05:29Go on, Kit. Skin that cat.
00:05:32Nice moves there.
00:05:33Oh, no!
00:05:34Oh, and Jelly just cleans things up.
00:05:37What a great start from Jelly Roll.
00:05:40Well, that wasn't very sporting.
00:05:42Catching a man when he wasn't paying attention, Jelly Roll.
00:05:45That's a very toxic trait.
00:05:47What the?
00:05:48Jelly Roll! Jelly Roll!
00:05:50Jelly Roll!
00:05:50Your book's right here.
00:05:51The poetry book. Give him the poetry book.
00:05:53Light reading later tonight.
00:05:55The poetry book right there.
00:05:56It's all yours, Kit.
00:05:57Sir Kittington.
00:05:59Jelly Roll!
00:06:01Oh, Jelly Roll's got the poetry book.
00:06:03He's a thief too.
00:06:04As soon as he turns his head, Kit Wilson comes flying in.
00:06:08Yeah, you gotta keep your wits about you inside that ring, Jelly Roll.
00:06:11Music, you're an A-plus.
00:06:13In ring, I don't think so, pal.
00:06:16Coming in for that uppercut again.
00:06:19And this is Kit Wilson now on a crusade to detoxify our SmackDown ring from the likes of Jelly Roll.
00:06:29Global superstar.
00:06:32Men's Health cover guy.
00:06:34Ugh.
00:06:34Grammy-dominating musical artist.
00:06:37And a guy brave enough to take on any challenge here.
00:06:42He's an old-school caveman, trying to hype up his own masculinity like something out of a Louis Theroux documentary.
00:06:50Now this, right there, Kim Wilson, that is redefining masculinity for the modern era.
00:06:57Thank you, Kit.
00:07:00But Jelly Roll really, really struggling now.
00:07:03Here's what happens when you get to the business end of this industry.
00:07:08The one thing we learned at SummerSlam is that Jelly Roll has heart.
00:07:12He has heart, but he, of course, lost at SummerSlam, Joe Tez.
00:07:16And that should have been a major warning.
00:07:17Yeah, but he took damage.
00:07:18Don't come back.
00:07:19And was willing to come back to the ring after taking serious damage and fight on.
00:07:24Well, he doesn't look very smart for doing that right now, because-
00:07:27Oh!
00:07:28What a smart move by Jelly Roll.
00:07:32Oh, and Belly wouldn't want that, wouldn't she?
00:07:34It was a Jelly to Belly suplex.
00:07:37I like that, Jelly to Belly.
00:07:38I did not like it.
00:07:39Jelly to Belly, coined it.
00:07:40Copyright.
00:07:41Wait for it.
00:07:42Let's take another look at this.
00:07:46Stealing moves from Belly.
00:07:48Stealing moves.
00:07:49And amending the name to Jelly to Belly.
00:07:50A guy who goes to school on the sport and the industry and then applies it.
00:07:56We saw a little bit of Cody Rhodes.
00:07:57We see a little bit of Belly.
00:07:59I like that.
00:08:00Just listen to this crowd.
00:08:06Oh!
00:08:08Two!
00:08:08Three!
00:08:10Two!
00:08:12Three!
00:08:13Three!
00:08:14Two!
00:08:16Four!
00:08:16Four!
00:08:17Four!
00:08:18Oh!
00:08:18And Pittsburgh loves it!
00:08:20They love toxicity, apparently.
00:08:22As the Cody Rhodes slash Dusty Rhodes combos hit like a dream.
00:08:29Oh, no, God.
00:08:30It could be dream time now for Kit Wilson, but no denied.
00:08:34He was looking for the choke slam.
00:08:37Big boot from Kit Wilson.
00:08:40Now having to dig deep as all of Pittsburgh.
00:08:42Oh!
00:08:44Power slam!
00:08:47It's like a trick out of Randy Orton's playbook, of course.
00:08:51Jelly roll tag with Randy Orton at SummerSlam.
00:08:55Great friends with Randy Orton, great friends with Cody Rhodes.
00:08:58Of course, we saw him trying to counsel Randy Orton a week ago backstage.
00:09:01Perhaps the one person able to get through to Randy Orton at the moment, but that cannot help you now.
00:09:06It cannot help you against a Kit Wilson, who is now surely closing in on victory.
00:09:13Get your hands off the damn poetry book!
00:09:19Words wasted on a man like Jelly Roll.
00:09:22Oh!
00:09:24An attempted cheap shot by Jelly Roll, Joe Tess.
00:09:27Wilson able to get out of the way and then deliver.
00:09:30Turn E, Kit!
00:09:30The turn E, Kit.
00:09:32Oh, but the shoulder is up from Jelly Roll.
00:09:35We talked about his will, his grit, his fights.
00:09:40Only his second career match, first singles match, and he is staying in it, Wade.
00:09:45Well, that is one of Kit Wilson's biggest moves, and he did not get the job done.
00:09:51Chokes it!
00:09:52Chokes it!
00:09:54Chokes it!
00:09:56Chokes it!
00:09:57That's now going for a take two of the exact same move, and Wade up.
00:10:00Oh, what a great counter by Jelly.
00:10:04Jelly with a major power advantage here over Kit Wilson, turned inside out.
00:10:11Oh!
00:10:13Oh!
00:10:13Back to the choke slam!
00:10:14Yes!
00:10:16Jelly Roll!
00:10:17Hook in the leg!
00:10:18No!
00:10:22Here is your winner, Jelly Roll!
00:10:28He can't believe it himself!
00:10:30Well, that is the most shocking result you perhaps will see this year.
00:10:37Somehow, unfathomably, Jelly Roll has just won his first ever singles match.
00:10:44Poor Kit Wilson!
00:10:45Jokeslam to hell by the music star now.
00:10:50A major victory for Jelly Roll, who perhaps has just cemented his credentials as a WWE superstar
00:11:00with his first ever win.
00:11:02What a moment.
00:11:05Father and son.
00:11:07Jelly Roll the victor.
00:11:11The choke slam toppling Kit Wilson here in Pittsburgh.
00:11:21Well done, Jelly!
00:11:27Matt Cardona, that nasty attack a week ago, but he wasn't shy about meeting Randy Orton earlier
00:11:35tonight.
00:11:37Now they meet up in a match later.
00:11:42And up next, we'll take a look back at what happened this past Monday between Roman Reigns
00:11:49and Z.M. Punk.
00:11:52That's next on SmackDown.
00:12:21SmackDown.
00:12:23SmackDown.
00:12:23SmackDown.
00:12:24SmackDown.
00:12:27SmackDown.
00:12:28As you know, WrestleMania 42 right around the corner in Vegas.
00:12:32And limited seats are available for the WrestleMania stage.
00:12:36Tickets for this one-of-a-kind elevated viewing experience are available right now at Ticketmaster.
00:12:42Just scan the QR code you see on your screen and get yours now.
00:12:45Can you imagine sitting there when CM Punk and Roman Reigns head to the ring?
00:12:51Here's what happened between them this past Monday.
00:13:00Did you guys hear what Jimmy Uso said to me right before I came out here?
00:13:05But I'd be very careful out there, man.
00:13:08My brother's on the warpath.
00:13:11It goes to show you that Roman Reigns can't do anything without his cousins.
00:13:17But Roman last week did say one thing that pissed me off.
00:13:22Because at the end of the day, you're old.
00:13:27And I'll tell you, my young boy does not get to disrespect me and call me old.
00:13:34I'm old, but I'm not insecure.
00:13:36I don't come out here and ask you to acknowledge me.
00:13:39I come out here and tell you nobody in that family can be the best in the world.
00:13:47Uso!
00:13:51You got hit your head a little bit too many times.
00:13:54Because you're still out here running your damn mouth.
00:13:58Brother, I ain't dressed for it, but I'm a fighting champion.
00:14:02Hold on.
00:14:03What you doing out here?
00:14:05I understand how you feeling.
00:14:08But every time you get emotional, brother, you don't think.
00:14:12You lead him to the OTC.
00:14:23I'm gonna say this as respectfully as I can.
00:14:28Get your brother and leave my ring.
00:14:33I think you should stay.
00:14:34He needs the help.
00:14:37Oh!
00:14:38Jay went right out for Punk and out.
00:14:40Jimmy trying to get involved.
00:14:41Roman Reigns with a Superman punch to the back of the head.
00:14:44Where's the one of you?
00:14:45Joe!
00:14:46Hey, get in here, Moose!
00:14:47You know what to do!
00:14:48Hey!
00:14:49You know what to do!
00:14:50Smash them all!
00:14:51Stop it!
00:14:52You know what to do!
00:14:53Spare!
00:14:56Roman Reigns snapped!
00:14:58Young boy!
00:15:01Get in here!
00:15:02Who's the real tribal chief?
00:15:07This is my show!
00:15:09I run things here!
00:15:11Now I'm gonna bury you!
00:15:14Next to your father!
00:15:18Think of what you're gonna do!
00:15:26I don't need any help!
00:15:29I'm not the one that needs help!
00:15:33They are set!
00:15:35The World Heavyweight Championship CM Punk, Roman Reigns will meet up at WrestleMania and Punk and Reigns will both be
00:15:43on Monday Night Raw on Netflix coming up in just a few days.
00:15:50The most anticipated WrestleMania main events will be a reality.
00:15:56Everything that I do for this family, I do it out of love.
00:16:01I'm so hard on everybody because I know how great we can actually be.
00:16:07My job is to leave this family.
00:16:10But I cannot leave this family if everyone's not on the same page.
00:16:17And I admit, last week was a little bit too much.
00:16:21So for that, I'd like to apologize.
00:16:29But you know who never would've apologized?
00:16:35Roman.
00:16:46Look, so, you finally gonna take a shot at this title or are you gonna wait until Solo tells you
00:16:50it's okay?
00:16:50Okay.
00:16:51I'll be out there.
00:16:59Are you gonna fight?
00:17:00Camera heads?
00:17:03Or Hello Solo?
00:17:09You good?
00:17:12Yeah, I'm good.
00:17:46The following contest is the United States of the United States of the United States.
00:17:50Championship Open Challenge Match.
00:17:54Introducing first, from Boston, Massachusetts, playing in at 210 pounds,
00:18:00he is the United States Champion, Carmelo Hayes!
00:18:06Well, I just marvel every week as to how much he keeps giving, how much he keeps taking.
00:18:11Who will step to the U.S. Champ tonight?
00:18:14Carmelo Hayes in action, Open Challenge.
00:18:20Tell him to slam your head, jumpin' with some what's alone.
00:18:23I'm at the top, got my what's alone.
00:18:33Welcome to my show.
00:18:40This way.
00:18:43Let's really get the show started.
00:18:48Rematch?
00:18:53Rematch.
00:19:13Rematch.
00:19:14both nights in April.
00:19:16Don't miss your chance to be part of the showcase of the Emotions.
00:19:18You can cement your name in history.
00:19:21Well, talking about cementing your name in history, this is a young man who, week by week,
00:19:27his reputation, his legend, and his run with the United States Championship grows and grows.
00:19:33And who is gonna take up his challenge this week?
00:19:37Oh!
00:19:43Even Carmelo had that reaction.
00:19:48And his opponent, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, weighing in at 212 pounds, Sammy Zay!
00:19:58So, we've been monitoring the frustrations and the emotions of Sammy Zayn.
00:20:05And we saw how he reacted earlier tonight when he found out that Trick Williams is gonna have a chance
00:20:11at WrestleMania,
00:20:12have a spot at WrestleMania.
00:20:14And now, here is Sammy with an instant shot at a title.
00:20:20This is what you call a full circle moment.
00:20:23Go back to last, I don't know, September, October.
00:20:27Yeah.
00:20:27United States Champion, Sammy Zayn, who started this whole-
00:20:31That's right.
00:20:32Open challenge process that was then continued by Dragunov, who took the title from Zayn,
00:20:43Sammy Zayn gets the opportunity to try and take it back once again.
00:20:48Wow, hold on.
00:20:48What's going on?
00:20:54Oh!
00:20:56It's too good!
00:20:58I'll tell you what, Joe.
00:21:20A cooler man on planet Earth, there is not.
00:21:25Agreed.
00:21:25And a hotter thing in the world of professional wrestling, there is not.
00:21:31Even a hater like you has to admit that.
00:21:33There's no hating when it comes to Trick Williams.
00:21:36Well, clearly, GM Nick Aldis is massively enamored with Trick Williams,
00:21:41and the kind of reaction he brings, and that's why he's guaranteed a WrestleMania match.
00:21:47We're quite sure who that's gonna be against yet.
00:21:51Although, Trick Willie is gonna join us once again at ringside, it would seem, for a Sami Zayn match.
00:21:58Well, here we go, Joe.
00:22:00Hold on, watch out.
00:22:01Look at the man a little-
00:22:01We got Levin Pepper Steppers all over the announce desk.
00:22:04Give him a little space.
00:22:05Here we go, Trick Willie.
00:22:06Size 15 right there.
00:22:07That's my guy right there.
00:22:10You see Sami Zayn looking over to the side of the guy who he put on his backside earlier tonight.
00:22:15Can we get a chair, please, for Mr. Trick Williams?
00:22:19All yours, sir.
00:22:21We're with the fader.
00:22:22Not as good as you.
00:22:24You know we got a match in the ring right here, Baron.
00:22:26Oh, I'm enamored with Trick Williams.
00:22:28Yeah, beyond enamored.
00:22:29You need other adjectives.
00:22:30Ooh, Sami Zayn.
00:22:32What a golden opportunity for Zayn.
00:22:33Oh, shoulders are down!
00:22:36The emotional frustration he's been dealing with, his status, his career,
00:22:40and now a chance Wade to remedy so much.
00:22:42Well, we'll see about that.
00:22:44It's proven time and time again that anyone stepping to Carmelo Hayes
00:22:48has generally struggled to convert when they've taken these open challenges
00:22:52against the United States champion.
00:22:55And wow, what a clothesline there.
00:22:56Right into it again.
00:22:57Hooking the leg.
00:22:58I mean, can we talk about the latest instant classic against the Mad Dragon by Hayes?
00:23:05Let's talk about it.
00:23:06You know, Trick Williams isn't down.
00:23:07That's what we do.
00:23:07We talk about things that it was an absolute classic.
00:23:10Perhaps the SmackDown match of the year so far last week, but ultimately victorious was the United States champ.
00:23:17But let's parallel that or contrast that with Sami Zayn's experience last week taking on Aleister Black.
00:23:25And one major distraction at ringside from Trick Williams caused Sami Zayn to eat a black mass and take a
00:23:33major L.
00:23:34Yep, and he's seated right back in that same position to watch Sami Zayn and Carmelo Hayes here for the
00:23:41U.S. Championship.
00:23:42And that might explain the cheap shot that Sami Zayn took at Trick Williams a little later during that conversation
00:23:49with Nick Aldis as Carmelo Hayes looks to exacerbate the issues that Sami Zayn has been experiencing really ever since
00:23:58the Royal Rumble when he lost that title match against then WWE champ Drew McIntyre.
00:24:04After that hot start by Sami Zayn, all of a sudden Carmelo Hayes has found his rhythm.
00:24:10Springboard leg drop as Hayes regains momentum.
00:24:36Three weeks to go to WrestleMania.
00:24:39One, two, three, one.
00:24:40Sami Zayn still trying to find a path there to WrestleMania.
00:24:43Meanwhile, the U.S. Champion Carmelo Hayes week after week.
00:24:48Well, I'll tell you right now.
00:24:49Taking on all challenges.
00:24:50I've watched a ton of Zayn's career from the Indies through NXT and, of course, Raw, SmackDown, all the way
00:24:56to WrestleMania.
00:24:57I have never seen a Sami Zayn looking as desperate and at times lost as this version.
00:25:05You can understand why when you consider where he's been in history, what he's accomplished, and then the recent matches,
00:25:12the recent frustrations.
00:25:14We've been listening to those exchanges with Cody Rose backstage earlier tonight when he received the news from Nick Aldis
00:25:21about his circumstances surrounding WrestleMania.
00:25:33And this is what Sami Zayn does at his best.
00:25:36Trying to tap into the energy of this audience.
00:25:39They clearly love what Zayn can do.
00:25:42However, with that massively grown reputation, Carmelo Hayes proving week in, week out,
00:25:48that he is going to be a tough test for anybody in the SmackDown locker room.
00:25:54Incredible how much he delivers each and every week.
00:25:57Is Sami able to kick out after the snap suplex?
00:26:02I mean, one of the greatest movers I think I've ever seen battle to battle is Carmelo Hayes,
00:26:07a man who is so creative, so inventive, and inventive really is that word you are.
00:26:12And that is where he is at his best.
00:26:15I'll tell you, nobody else on the roster could possibly pull that move off with accuracy.
00:26:22Taking a shot from downtown in the process.
00:26:26He's a three-pointer, but unfortunately, it did not follow up with a three-count for Carmelo Hayes.
00:26:33The match grinds off.
00:26:38Very vocal crowd here in Pittsburgh.
00:26:4012,700-plus at the home of the NHL's Penguins.
00:26:45But what are they saying, JTess?
00:26:50Well, you know who they're supporting.
00:26:52The presence of Trick Williams ringside gets a lot of attention.
00:26:56Big kick from Hayes.
00:26:59Lateral press.
00:27:02And now you sense a little frustration starting to build in Carmelo Hayes,
00:27:06who has been in control for large portions of the match,
00:27:09but Sami Zayn doing what Sami Zayn always seems to do,
00:27:13and refusing to die off in this one.
00:27:36The open challenge for the United States Championship was answered by Sami Zayn.
00:27:42The man who held that title.
00:27:45Sami, earlier tonight, you see Trick Williams sitting ringside,
00:27:48same as he was a week ago for a Sami Zayn match.
00:27:51Trick Williams found out he has a WrestleMania slot.
00:27:54Sami upset to hear that.
00:27:55He got the news there aren't current plans for him for WrestleMania.
00:27:59But perhaps a title could change that if he could pull this off against Carmelo Hayes.
00:28:04Carmelo Hayes has been looking pretty dominant in this one,
00:28:08but once again Sami Zayn fighting from underneath and managing,
00:28:12when it looks like the chips are down, to get himself back into the fight.
00:28:18I mean, has anyone in history been able to do that as much as Sami Zayn seems to,
00:28:23week in, week out?
00:28:24Oh, incoming!
00:28:27Oh, and a heavy landing on the back of Sami Zayn,
00:28:30but that pales in comparison to the impact that US champ Carmelo Hayes just had to absorb.
00:28:38Take another look at applying Sami Zayn and a huge crash landing
00:28:43and staring daggers into Trick Williams at ringside.
00:28:47They've already had one confrontation in the hallways tonight.
00:28:50We're hoping there won't be a second one a la last week during the Sami Zayn-Alistair Black match.
00:28:58Yeah, Sami put him on his backside earlier tonight.
00:29:06Oh, the timing of Hayes! Impeccable!
00:29:11And Sami gets the left shoulder up.
00:29:13Oh my God, what a bullseye!
00:29:15On a moving target like that,
00:29:18it's absolutely ridiculous that any human being can have the precision on a dropkick
00:29:25like we just saw from Carmelo Hayes.
00:29:27This guy is just made differently, and that is just one example of why Carmelo Hayes is him.
00:29:34We've said it before. We said it last week.
00:29:37Melo makes moments.
00:29:40As he slams it down with a tilt-a-whirl spinning face buster into the cover,
00:29:46you can go ahead and say Dirty Diana if you want.
00:29:48Oh, you just beat me to it! I was so excited, Joe!
00:29:51Dirty Diana connects!
00:29:52And now we're gonna close this one out in style as Carmelo Hayes.
00:29:58Sami struggling to get to his feet.
00:30:01He has given so much, but the wear and tear.
00:30:04Oh, he was looking for first 48, but instead a magnificent counter by Zayn and Melo survived.
00:30:12Oh, so resourceful there with Sami Zayn, it looked like it was game over if that first 48 connected,
00:30:18but Zayn with a burst of power, little pop-up and a nice powerbomb,
00:30:23and Melo living dangerously with a very late kick-out, and that's what it's all about.
00:30:28The Open Challenge is alive and well, but perhaps now swinging in the favor of Zayn.
00:30:34Oh, he's looking for Halufa, but instead Melo gets out of the way and delivers a kick of his own.
00:30:39Of course, the Open Challenge and the pride in defending this U.S. Championship.
00:30:44Sami Zayn foundational to that.
00:30:47But both men now starting to struggle, getting deep into the match.
00:30:51Bodies are hurting, lungs are on fire, and this is where instincts need to kick in.
00:30:57The instincts of a champion.
00:30:59And Sami Zayn has previously held this title.
00:31:03Melo is on a generational run with it.
00:31:06But can Zayn put this one to bed here?
00:31:11Sami with Melo in position.
00:31:15And a superplex.
00:31:17And now Sami.
00:31:19As both men are down, what a battle here in Pittsburgh.
00:31:42This is what we've come to expect with the United States Championship.
00:31:45With the Open Challenge.
00:31:48With competitors giving everything asked of them.
00:31:50Well, this has turned into the workhorse championship.
00:31:54And there's a guy looking on who's looking to grab gold here on SmackDown sooner or later.
00:32:00Getting a very close eye on recent nemesis Sami Zayn.
00:32:05Of course, Trick and Carmelo Hayes have some major history.
00:32:09Fans of NXT will remind you of the Trick and Melo gang who simply ran things there in black and
00:32:14gold a couple of years ago.
00:32:16Both former NXT champions.
00:32:19But right now, it's all about Sami Zayn and Carmelo Hayes.
00:32:25Did you hear that echo throughout this arena?
00:32:30Sami Zayn felt all of that and crumbled in a heap.
00:32:34But again, fighting back from the dead.
00:32:38Wow.
00:32:38Seemingly always finding a way.
00:32:41And Melo able to get up at two and change.
00:32:44And that was just a textbook pin from Sami Zayn.
00:32:47Stacked high, hooking the legs.
00:32:50Almost no way to kick out unless you have that heart and drive of a champion like Carmelo Hayes.
00:33:00And Hayes is hurting here.
00:33:01Momentum just shifted back in favor of Sami Zayn.
00:33:08Keeps looking over at Trick Willie.
00:33:10Trick Williams.
00:33:11You've got to keep an eye on Trick Williams at all times.
00:33:14In part, because he may attack you, but in part, because he looks so damn cool.
00:33:20Pretty sure that's not the reason Sami's looking over, but maybe it is for you.
00:33:24Trick Willie like that one.
00:33:25Trick Willie.
00:33:26Trick Willie.
00:33:29Trick Willie.
00:33:31Trick Willie.
00:33:32Sammy trying to gather his last bits of energy.
00:33:35Try to bring this thing down the stretch.
00:33:38But instead, Carmelo looking to counter.
00:33:40Back and forth.
00:33:41They go center of the ring.
00:33:44Fighting for position.
00:33:46And it is Carmelo who gets the best of it.
00:33:49Yeah.
00:33:49But still, he's given a lot.
00:33:51Nice twisting cutter there, but it's a slow pin.
00:33:55Just able to get his left arm over.
00:33:56Yeah, really just draped over Zayn.
00:33:58What a match.
00:34:00Back to back weeks.
00:34:01We've said that about Carmelo Hayes.
00:34:07Now barking advice out from ringside is Trick Williams, who of course last week offered to teach Sami Zayn how
00:34:15to be a bigger star.
00:34:17And that offer was thrown back in the face of Trick Williams.
00:34:21Well, I'll tell you this.
00:34:21I don't care how experienced Trick Williams may be versus Sami Zayn.
00:34:26Nobody plays the star better than Trick Willie.
00:34:43Carmelo Hayes has climbed up top here in Pittsburgh.
00:34:47Look at this scene.
00:34:48Massive crowd.
00:34:49The United States Championship Open Challenge met by Sami Zayn, who earlier tonight found out there aren't current plans for
00:34:56him to be at WrestleMania.
00:34:58He's trying to change that right now.
00:35:02Because the United States Championship around his waist would be a big difference.
00:35:09Well, Sami Zayn has been going through personal and career hell for all of 2026 thus far as he catches
00:35:18a glimpse of the WrestleMania sign, catches a glimpse of Trick Willie, catches a glimpse of the United States Championship.
00:35:25And I'll tell you right now, nothing will reset the compass like getting a big win tonight and capturing gold
00:35:33for Sami Zayn.
00:35:34Now you mentioned Trick Williams sitting ringside here.
00:35:37Cools could be with those lemon pepper steppers up on the announce desk, taking this in.
00:35:41He has been a thorn in the side of Sami Zayn, causing a lot of emotional reactions.
00:35:45And now Melo looking to gather himself and regain momentum here.
00:35:49Sami!
00:35:52Exploder!
00:35:53And could that turn things around instantly?
00:35:57Well, Zayn has Carmelo Hayes right where he wants him!
00:36:01This could be huge!
00:36:03He's got him lined up!
00:36:05Oh!
00:36:06First 48!
00:36:09One, two, one!
00:36:10Sami kicks out!
00:36:11Oh, my God!
00:36:13Memo can't believe it!
00:36:15Well, that should have been over against a normal competitor!
00:36:18It is over!
00:36:20Here's the big hitter!
00:36:21First 48!
00:36:22We know what's next, right?
00:36:23One, two, three!
00:36:24Case closed!
00:36:25But the case just got busted wide open by Sami Zayn!
00:36:30The heart and drive of Zayn!
00:36:33Reigning supreme in this one!
00:36:36Perhaps all the emotion, all the frustration, all the reaction we've seen backstage
00:36:41And bubbling over is being funneled with grit from Sami Zayn!
00:36:45Well, his first 48 doesn't do it!
00:36:47Melo has a couple of other tricks in his tank!
00:36:50But cut off at the pass by Sami Zayn!
00:36:53He sensed the danger!
00:36:54But now a second bite of the cherry for the United States champ!
00:36:59Oh!
00:37:00He's looking for nothing but net!
00:37:01But instead!
00:37:02Blue!
00:37:03Thunder!
00:37:04Could it be?!
00:37:08Every week with Carmelo Hayes with Triple H.
00:37:11Up out of his seat on that one!
00:37:13It's like the entire audience!
00:37:15Everybody jumping up and down!
00:37:17So much energy buzzing in!
00:37:18What is Chuck Elliott doing?
00:37:20He's grabbing the US Championship!
00:37:21What is he doing?
00:37:23Taking a little walk in!
00:37:25I mean, I would say it's a distraction for the competitors, but both men are laid out in the ring!
00:37:32Unsurprisingly, as to how much they've burnt off since the opening bell!
00:37:37And he's got Melo's title in hand, and he puts it right in the center of the ring in front
00:37:42of Sami!
00:37:49And now he's up on the apron!
00:37:53Oh!
00:37:54A big right hand ends up hitting Melo!
00:37:57Well, Zayn thugged it!
00:37:58It was end of the jaw of Sami Zayn, but you know what's a gift horse in the mouth!
00:38:03No way gold is on the line!
00:38:05Sami in position to take advantage of it!
00:38:08Haluba lands!
00:38:09Could this be?
00:38:12One, two, three!
00:38:17Here is your winner, and new United States Champion, Sami Zayn!
00:38:27The title he helped recently define!
00:38:31The title he had to have down this home stretch to WrestleMania!
00:38:37Sami Zayn has it!
00:38:41Well, major unintentional assist from Trick Williams there!
00:38:48Who tried his best to punch, I think!
00:38:50Sami Zayn in the face!
00:38:52One duck later, it caught Carmelo Hayes!
00:38:55And now Carmelo Hayes must have a major gripe with Trick Williams!
00:39:00Sami Zayn, who's been on a major L after L streak of late!
00:39:05He didn't need to be asked twice!
00:39:07Nails the Haluba Kick!
00:39:10Drops Carmelo Hayes!
00:39:11And picks up gold!
00:39:13Three weeks!
00:39:15Before WrestleMania in Las Vegas!
00:39:20From anger and frustration earlier tonight, to all smiles in the United States Championship now!
00:39:34WrestleMania 22 days away!
00:39:46Hey, Jacob!
00:39:47Jacob!
00:39:48I'm sorry to stop you!

00:39:51He seems in rough shape!
00:39:53How are you feeling?
00:39:55That's a good question, Cathy!
00:39:57But to keep it 100 with you, I didn't come all the way to Pittsburgh just to stay backstage!
00:40:04And I say this with respect to you!
00:40:09Instead of speaking to you now, I'd rather speak to the people live in the PPG Arena!
00:40:22Raw 2 is coming this way next!

00:44:19It got to do with you, Drew, huh?
00:44:23What the hell?
00:44:27What the hell is wrong with you, huh?
00:44:31You try to take me out.
00:44:34You try to end my career, huh?
00:44:38You try to take food off my family.
00:44:40Man, you try to take food off my kids' table, Drew.
00:44:47What you thought kicking my teeth down my throat was gonna keep me down?
00:44:53What you thought hitting me in the head with the title was gonna keep me down?
00:45:01Huh, you thought hitting me with a cord, pulling me out through the windshield,
00:45:07and banging my head on the cord until you see blood?
00:45:10You thought that was gonna hold me down?
00:45:13Hell, you thought throwing me off the side of a building was gonna hold me down?
00:45:18Hell no!
00:45:24Hell no!
00:45:26Hell no!
00:45:30Hell no!
00:45:37Hey, Drew, you did all that, but I'm still standing.
00:45:45I'm still here.
00:45:48And as long as I got air in these lungs, then that means every week,
00:45:54every week, Drew, I'm gonna dog walk your punk ass.
00:45:58Yeah!
00:45:59Yeah!
00:46:46Look at you out here, playing the victim.
00:46:51You're not the victim, Jacob.
00:46:54I am!
00:46:57You started this whole thing when you-
00:47:00You accused me of a crime I didn't commit because I'm Drew McIntyre.
00:47:07I'm always guilty until proven innocent, right?
00:47:11Well, you're Jacob Fatu.
00:47:13You're straight guilty because you're a damn criminal.
00:47:21You committed the crime, and you did that.
00:47:25And since you got out, you stole.
00:47:28You stole.
00:47:29You stole.
00:47:30You stole.
00:47:31You stole my title.
00:47:32You stole WrestleMania from me.
00:47:35You stole everything from me.
00:47:42I'm talking about taking food off your family's table, taking food from your kid's mouth.
00:47:50That's my food.
00:47:56I wanna look me in the eye, Jacob.
00:48:00Look right in my eyes with your stupid beady eyes, because I mean this from the bottom of my heart.
00:48:10Screw your damn kids.
00:48:18The venom.
00:48:19Enough.
00:48:20Enough.
00:48:21You just stay right there, Jacob.
00:48:23Both of you just stay right there.
00:48:25It's obvious to me, especially after talking to medical, that neither one of you are in any condition to beat
00:48:32the hell out of each other again here tonight.
00:48:35But I have a feeling that you'll be okay by, let's say, April 18th at WrestleMania.
00:48:46That's right, Drew.
00:48:47You get your wish.
00:48:48You get your match at WrestleMania.
00:48:50Drew McIntyre, Jacob Fatu, one on one.
00:48:54But here's the deal.
00:48:57You two have become liabilities to yourselves and the company.
00:49:02So I won't be held responsible.
00:49:04WWE won't be held responsible.
00:49:07There will be no disqualifications, no count outs.
00:49:10The referee is only there to count the three or call a submission.
00:49:15There will be a winner because your match at WrestleMania is unsanctioned.
00:49:24Well, isn't that fitting for these two currently walking wounded?
00:49:33Two beaten up and broken down human beings whose appetites for destruction are seemingly undulled.
00:49:44And now they get to do whatever the hell they want to each other at WrestleMania in an unsanctioned match.
00:49:56Hey Cardona, man.
00:49:57I feel really, really bad.
00:49:59I see what happened with Randy last week and I sent him out there to apologize, man.
00:50:04I'm sorry.
00:50:04Yeah, man, come on.
00:50:05I know, but you know that the Randy we know is not the Randy that was there last week, man.
00:50:11And y'all been friends a long time, dude.
00:50:13A long time.
00:50:14Just like him and Cody have been friends a long time.
00:50:17Cody's on the way.
00:50:17Y'all should just all talk this thing out.
00:50:19Wait, Cody's on the way?
00:50:20If you talk to him, tell him, stay out of my fight tonight.
00:50:22If you wanna sit with Randy and Cody, that's great.
00:50:25I don't wanna sit and talk.
00:50:27I wanna fight.
00:50:27I wanna kick Randy's ass tonight.
00:50:29All right, man.
00:50:30I'm praying for you.
00:50:38Gosh, I guess Randy calling him a Marky Stooge really got to him, huh?
00:50:44Imagine picking a fight that you know you can't win just to fix your damaged ego.
00:50:50Imagine if I would've just let Randy alone.
00:50:54No voices, no nothing.
00:50:57Maybe.
00:50:58Maybe there would've been a chance, but now, I mean, well, so is it Leiva.
00:51:08What?
00:51:10Who's that?
00:51:15Tiffany!
00:51:17Hi.
00:51:18Hi.
00:51:18I'm so glad I caught you.
00:51:20I feel like we got off on the wrong foot.
00:51:23Get it?
00:51:25Foot.
00:51:25I love that we can jump.
00:51:26Oh my god.
00:51:27Not today.
00:51:29You know what, Chelsea?
00:51:30What do you want?
00:51:32Well, I wanted to tell you that you have a very big match tonight against Julia,
00:51:36and as a former United States Women's Champion, twice.
00:51:41I feel like I'd be a great resource for you.
00:51:42So, we should be like a pear tacky time.
00:51:47No, it's Tiffany time.
