00:00King up for Sami Zayn, can't wait for that one.
00:30Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Samoan werewolves, Jacob Batuu!
00:38Listen, there are few athletes with more punch resistance, more recuperative powers, but you can see...
00:49...the Samoan werewolves, Jacob Batuu!
00:53Listen, there are few athletes with more punch resistance, more recuperative powers,
00:58but you can see the effects, the limping from Jacob Batuu last week, the car crash, the brawl, that was
01:04only the beginning, Wade.
01:06Yeah, it came off his side, T-Bone car wreck involving Drew McIntyre and Jacob Batuu.
01:12Now, this was just the start of a torrid evening for our security staff, who basically lost control for the
01:19entire night.
01:20These two hell-pent of smashing each other to bits in a hugely violent brawl.
01:26Near three hours long, and this was the terrifying climax.
01:30Both men ended up taking a 20-foot-fourth on some scaffolding outside the arena,
01:38which left our medical staff working overtime in the aftermath,
01:42and clearly, Jacob Batuu still bearing the scars of that battle.
01:48into flamingOn.
01:55YARAIBI!
02:01YARAIBI!
02:16I'm limping, busted open, cracked ribs,
02:31and it's all got to do with one person.
02:37It got to do with you, Drew, huh?
02:41What the hell?
02:44What the hell is wrong with you, huh?
02:49You try to take me out.
02:52You try to end my career, huh?
02:55You try to take food off my face.
02:58Man, you try to take food off my kid's table, Drew.
03:04What you thought?
03:06Kicking my teeth down my throat was going to keep me down.
03:10What you thought?
03:12Hitting me in the head with the title was going to keep me down.
03:19You thought hitting me with a car,
03:22pulling me out through the windshield,
03:23and banging my head on the cord until you see blood?
03:28You thought that was going to hold me down?
03:30Hell, you thought throwing me off the side of a building
03:33was going to hold me down?
03:36Hell, hell no!
03:42Hell, hell no!
03:54Hey, Drew, you did all that,
03:58but I'm still standing.
04:03I'm still here.
04:05And as long as I got air and needs lungs,
04:09then that means every week,
04:12every week, Drew,
04:13I'm going to dog walk your punk ass.
04:16You got it!
04:17You got it!
04:19You got it!
04:21You got it!
04:22You got it!
04:22You got it!
04:22You got it!
04:23You got it!
04:25You got it!
04:25You got it!
04:26You got it!
04:27You got it!
04:28You got it!
04:30You got it!
04:32You got it!
04:34You got it!
04:35You got it!
05:19You accused me of a crime I didn't commit because I'm Drew McIntyre.
05:24I'm always guilty until proven innocent, right?
05:28Well, you're Jacob Fatu.
05:30You're straight guilty because you're a damn criminal.
05:39You committed the crime and you did the time and since you got out, you stole, you stole, you stole,
05:48you stole my title.
05:50You stole WrestleMania from me.
05:53You've stole everything from me.
05:59I'm talking about taking food off your family's table, taking food from your kid's mouth.
06:08That's my food.
06:13Screw your damn kids.
06:21Venom.
06:22Enough.
06:23Enough.
06:24You just stay right there, Jacob.
06:26Both of you just stay right there.
06:28It's obvious to me, especially after talking to medical, that neither one of you are in any condition to beat
06:35the hell out of each other again here tonight.
06:38But I have a feeling that you'll be okay by, let's say, April 18th at WrestleMania.
06:47WrestleMania.
06:49That's right, Drew.
06:50You get your wish.
06:51You get your match at WrestleMania.
06:53Drew McIntyre, Jacob Fatu, one-on-one.
06:57But here's the deal.
07:00You two have become liabilities to yourselves and the company.
07:05So I won't be held responsible.
07:07WWE won't be held responsible.
07:10There will be no disqualifications, no countouts.
07:13The referee is only there to count the three or call a submission.
07:18There will be a winner because your match at WrestleMania is unsanctioned.
07:28Isn't that fitting for these two currently walking wounded?
07:37Two beaten up and broken down human beings whose appetites for destruction are seemingly undulled.
07:48And now they get to do whatever the hell they want to each other at WrestleMania in an unsanctioned match.
08:00I feel really, really bad.
08:03I, um, I seen what happened with Randy last week and I sent him out there to apologize, Matt.
08:07I'm sorry.
08:07Yeah, Matt, come on now.
08:08I know, but you know that the Randy we know is not the Randy that was there last week, Matt.
08:14And y'all been friends a long time, dude.
08:16A long time.
08:17Just like him and Cody have been friends a long time.
08:19Cody's on the way.
08:20Y'all should just all talk this thing out.
08:22Wait, Cody's on the way?
08:23If you talk to him, tell him, stay out of my fight tonight.
08:25If you want to sit with Randy and Cody, that's great.
08:28I don't want to sit and talk.
08:30I want to fight.
08:30I want to kick Randy's ass tonight.
08:32All right, man.
08:33I'm praying for you.
08:41Gosh, I guess Randy calling him a marquee stooge really got to him, huh?
08:47Imagine picking a fight that you know you can't win just to fix your damaged ego.
08:53Imagine if I would have just let Randy alone.
08:57No voices, no nothing.
09:00Maybe.
09:01Maybe there would have been a chance, but now, I mean, well, so is it Laeva.
09:12What?
09:13What?
09:13Who's that?
09:18Hi.
09:21I'm so glad I caught you.
09:23I feel like we got off on the wrong foot.
09:26Get it?
09:27What?
09:28I love that we can jump!
09:29Oh my God!
09:30Not today.
09:32You know what, Chelsea?
09:33What do you want?
09:34Well, I wanted to tell you that you have a very big match tonight against Julia and as a former
09:41United States Women's Champion twice.
09:43I feel like I'd be a great resource for you.
09:46So, we should be like a pear tacky time.
09:50No, it's Tiffany time.
09:51You're right.
09:52You were the United States Champion.
09:54Twice.
09:54Which also means you've lost it twice.
09:58So thanks, but no thanks.
10:01Thank God.
10:02I just expect.
10:03That was so rude.
10:04Betty Ruth.
10:05Take me away.
10:36The two-time U.S. Champion, Julia.
10:38The two-time U.S. Champion, Julia, with Keanu James by her size a couple weeks ago.
10:44Keanu was pushed into action against Tiffany.
10:46Now Tiffany and Julia, non-title match.
10:52Monday.
10:53Moments are made at Madison Square Garden.
10:57Brock Lesnar looks to fire back.
10:59Lesnar knows what awaits him.
11:01While Roman and Pac take it off the rails.
11:04Spare!
11:05Roman Reigns snapped!
11:08And he's not done yet!
11:10All roads lead to WrestleMania from the world's most famous arena.
11:16I want to break some big news.
11:18NXT will be bringing one of its biggest PLEs to one of the greatest wrestling cities in all the world.
11:25On Saturday, April 4th.
11:26Get ready for a fight!
11:28NXT stands up in St. Louis.
11:32The stakes are high.
11:34The world is watching.
11:35And only the best.
11:37Stand and deliver.
11:40NXT Stand and Deliver.
11:41Saturday, April 4th.
11:47Boy, Stand and Deliver is going to be awesome.
11:49Joe Hendry in a fatal four-way putting his NXT championship on the line.
11:53WWE 2K26 cover star CM Punk takes over WWE Supercard.
11:59Download today and play the Then Now Forever Together event and earn his exclusive new card.
12:06What a great night here in Pittsburgh.
12:09Sami Zayn winning the United States championship and that open challenge he took against Carmelo Hayes.
12:14And here is the women's United States champion, Julia.
12:19As Tiffany Stratton is trying to put herself in position to get after that title.
12:24It's Tiffy time!
12:31It's Tiffy time!
12:41And her opponent from Pryor Lake, Minnesota, Tiffany Stratton!
12:50So Tiffany beat the official representative of the United States champion, Julia, Kiana James, a couple of weeks ago.
12:58And has subsequently been making a ton of noise about taking the U.S. title from Julia.
13:05She's not going to get that opportunity tonight.
13:08Title not up for grabs.
13:09However, a victory here for Tiffany Stratton.
13:12And it will be hard to argue against her getting a title opportunity in the not-too-distant future.
13:19So this is a big, big chance for Tiffany Stratton.
13:23No doubt about it.
13:24That match that you mentioned from a couple of weeks ago, Julia attempted to interfere with Tiffany Stratton in that
13:29James with that match with Kiana James.
13:32Look, Julia may play it down, but anybody who has been watching WWE for the past couple of years knows
13:40full well that Tiffany Stratton is more than capable of taking a championship from anyone on the roster on any
13:47given night.
13:47So I don't blame Julia for not really wanting to have any part of a potential title defense against Tiffany
13:56Stratton.
13:56Of course, over 300 days as the WWE Women's Champion, current champion Jade Cargill, was able to climb that mountaintop
14:04in November of 2025.
14:07Earlier tonight, we saw Jade Cargill and Maria Ripley as that is heating up on the way to WrestleMania.
14:13So let's talk about Tiffany Stratton, arguably Woman of the Year in WWE in 2025.
14:19Incredible year as the champ.
14:21Lost it towards the end of the year, as you mentioned, to Jade Cargill.
14:26And then think about this year.
14:28Runner-up in the Royal Rumble, which would have guaranteed her a main event at WrestleMania.
14:33Followed that up with a runner-up spot in the Elimination Chamber, which again would have guaranteed her a main
14:40event spot at WrestleMania.
14:41Now, three weeks away from WrestleMania, no guarantee at all that Stratton is even going to be on the card.
14:48They are the fine margins at the very top end of this industry.
14:52Which we've seen with superstars at the very top of the industry.
14:56I mean, Cody Rhodes was in a similar position up until a few weeks ago.
15:00Sami Zayn was in a similar position up until a few minutes ago.
15:04Yeah, and Stratton might be playing it cool, but these are really panic stations for a woman of her caliber.
15:10A competitor who expects to be at the very top.
15:13And she can prove how much she deserves a spot at WrestleMania with a victory here.
15:19And tried a drop kick there.
15:22I don't think it caught Julia.
15:24Julia trying to duck out of the way.
15:25But Julia has taken a real beating in the early goings in this one.
15:28Yeah, getting ragdolled into each corner.
15:34Around the horn goes Tiffany Stratton.
15:37And from the outside, Keanu James, the official rep, trying to give some advice to Julia.
15:41But it's falling on deaf ears for the time being.
15:45A unique move there from Tiffany Stratton.
15:48Driving the nose of Julia into her knee.
15:52And had the intended results.
16:12The beautiful madness.
16:14Julia and Keanu James trying to gather herself a bit here.
16:19As Tiffany Stratton is off to a good start.
16:22Well, Keanu James is razor sharp mentally.
16:25Knows full well that Plan A was not working here.
16:28So, Keanu James pulls her woman out to the outside.
16:31A little pep talk.
16:31Hey, try this.
16:33And this, apparently, was draping the throat of Tiffany Stratton across the top rope.
16:39And guess what?
16:40It appears it has worked.
16:41Yeah, it goes better than a pep talk.
16:51And now things have turned around for Julia.
16:54Well, Julia suddenly looks like a completely different human being.
16:57Has that confidence back.
16:59And Tiffany Stratton now in the jaws of danger.
17:03Oh, and that basement drop kick right to the back.
17:06And you can see the effect it has on Tiffany.
17:14Keanu James on the outside must be pretty damn proud of her handiwork here.
17:20They're instrumental in getting Julia back on top in this one.
17:24Although staying on top against Tiffany Stratton will always be a struggle.
17:30Massive right hand from Julia.
17:32Maybe not with moves like that.
17:40Good matchup of offensive arsenals between these two.
17:49That's your favorite face, Joe Tess.
17:53The stuff that nightmares are made of from Julia.
17:57Especially if you're in the ring with her like Tiffany Stratton unfortunately is.
18:02It's not the makeover she's looking for.
18:04And we'll get that right shoulder up.
18:08The tank of Tiffany Stratton looks to have run dry already in this one.
18:13And now completely at will, Julia gets to do whatever she wants
18:18with the body of the former WWE Women's Champion.
18:43And what a rough evening it has been thus far for Tiffany Stratton
18:48who simply cannot get a foothold in this matchup at this point.
18:55And this has always been the problem with Julia.
18:58If she gets the upper hand, she usually is relentless, as is the case tonight.
19:15Julia, the Women's United States Champion, has been in control here against Tiffany Stratton
19:22as Tiffany looks to rally back in front of this massive crowd in Pittsburgh for SmackDown.
19:27Yeah, it's been about three or four minutes of overwhelming offense
19:30going the direction of Tiffany Stratton.
19:34And just when she gets a window to break out,
19:36straight back in control is Julia.
19:39But that may change things.
19:42Spine buster from Stratton.
19:44As both competitors are down.
19:47Stratton has put a target on Julia in that U.S. Championship.
19:50Julia's responded a week ago saying she thinks she can disrespect me.
19:54She'll put her in her place.
19:55This is part of the greatness of Tiffany Stratton.
19:58That power that she packs.
20:00Because we know about the high-flying abilities.
20:03Often underrated in the power states as a former United States Olympic team member.
20:10A great gymnast.
20:12Great athleticism as you see it here.
20:17Perhaps the greatest athlete of them all in WWE.
20:21And showing it all now.
20:22Looking for that.
20:23Real range.
20:24Cartwheel Alabama slam.
20:26Could this be for Tiffany?
20:29And now it is Julia who is clinging on for dear life.
20:33As the official rep on the outside.
20:35Kiana James again.
20:37Barking instructions.
20:39As things are starting to go haywire here.
20:42For Julia.
20:47Julia.
20:48Able to follow up.
20:50Stratton.
20:51And right back is Stratton.
20:53That burst of pace and burst of aggression from Julia really is something to behold.
20:58But equal to it is Tiffany Stratton.
21:03What a great counter by Julia.
21:05You see the skill coming through just when she needs it most.
21:08Yeah there's some real speed and some real bite to the offense of Julia right now.
21:15Beautiful madness lined up.
21:18Arrivederci knee.
21:20Trying to put it away.
21:25Tiffany Stratton starting to look completely fried at this point.
21:30Taking a ton of abuse.
21:32Absorbed it.
21:33But now looks out of answers.
21:38Tiffany Stratton trying to dig deep and recover after the recent attack from Julia.
21:43This aggression from Julia is what you need to see more of from the United States Champion.
21:49Especially against competitors the caliber of Tiffany Stratton.
22:00Kind of climb her way into position.
22:03And I'll tell you right now.
22:04I would back Stratton on the ropes every single time.
22:09But once again that would prove correct in this instance.
22:12Just tossing Julia away.
22:14Target's off.
22:16Swanton.
22:17Hooking the leg to put it away.
22:20Well extra something on that swanton from Tiffany Stratton.
22:25Full body weight.
22:27Crushing the sternum of the United States Champ.
22:30Watch this impact.
22:31As heavy as it gets.
22:35But the United States Champ somehow managing to kick out.
22:39But smelling victory now is Stratton.
22:41She got every bit in it.
22:43What a smart move by Julia.
22:46That was crafty.
22:48Well scouted.
22:49By the United States Champ.
22:55Good counter.
22:58And that rolling senton.
23:00And that offense senton.
23:02And Gianna James is there to meet her.
23:06Smart move for a curveball at the right time.
23:09Pretty.
23:09Oh knees up.
23:11Went for the prettiest moonsault ever.
23:14But instead comes up with the win.
23:18There is your winner.
23:20The women's United States Champion.
23:23Julia.
23:25The knees up.
23:26A little bit of a delay caused by Kiana James may have helped Julia there.
23:31And that is exactly why you get a Kiana James on your side.
23:35Major victory for Julia.
23:36Major assist from Kiana James.
23:43Excuse me Bailey, little Ira.
23:45A quick word before you guys head out.
23:47What brought you two to SmackDown?
23:49Well if you saw Nia and Lash think not only do they run the tag division but they think they
23:53run SmackDown.
23:54So Lyra and I had to come over here and tell them who has their eyes on the tag division.
23:58Yeah we had to come here, go out there and beat it into their heads.
24:01But now Nia and Lash and everyone else should know that we are the biggest threat there is to those
24:07tag team championships.
24:09Especially after Monday, Madison Square Garden, when we get it done, the whole tag division is on notice.
24:17Now let's go.
24:18Well thanks guys, safe travels to Raw.
24:23Yeah.
24:36Well Randy Orton got exactly what he wanted tonight.
24:40He gets Matt Cardona one on one.
24:44There is a Matt Cardona who is severely physically handicapped with a broken bone in his wrist.
24:51Regardless, that is up next here on SmackDown.
24:58And coming up next, been a jaw-dropping last couple of weeks of Oba Femi announcing himself.
25:04We'll look back at what happened between Oba and Brock Lesnar this past Monday.
25:08That is coming your way.
25:18Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:19Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:20Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:28Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:33Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:34Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:35Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:35Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:36Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:36Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:39Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:40Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:40Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:46Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
26:03How many times have we heard the same narrative, this is going to be the slayer of the beast,
26:12the conqueror's conqueror, one to beat the one in 21 and 1.
26:21This older type wannabe ruler, because at WrestleMania, you're going to be beaten, you're going
26:32to be victimized, damn it, you will be conquered by Brock Leicester.
26:46Oh my god.
26:48He put Brock on his ass twice.
26:49Two weeks in a row.
26:50I ain't never seen nobody do that.
27:16Two unfeasibly large and powerful human beings.
27:22And only one winner ruler versus the beast at WrestleMania.
27:30Now, also in WrestleMania, this is the massive news of the night.
27:34It was just announced, Jacob Fatou, Drew McIntyre, an unsanctioned match.
27:42WWE officially relinquishing responsibility for anything that happens.
27:48Fatou and McIntyre is happening unsanctioned in Vegas.
27:52Well, earlier tonight, we got ourselves a new United States champion in Sami Zayn.
27:58We also got a new number one contender in Trick Williams.
28:03Those two go one-on-one for the gold at WrestleMania.
28:08And not only that, AJ Lee and Becky Lynch, two of the top names in women's history.
28:17They collide for the women's intercontinental title at WrestleMania.
28:23The Women's World Championship match at WrestleMania will feature Stephanie Bacare defending against Liv Morgan.
28:32And you have heard what Bacare has said, that she was forged in fire, that they took different roads to
28:38get there.
28:38The road now goes to Vegas for the Women's World Championship.
28:43Now, Rhea Bloody Ripley has had some major problems from Jake Cargill and friends over the past couple of weeks.
28:51She gets the chance for vengeance at WrestleMania.
28:54And oh, a little sweetener, the WWE Women's Championship will be on the line.
29:00One of the most anticipated WrestleMania main events in some time.
29:06The World Heavyweight Championship.
29:09Roman Reigns and CM Punk and Reigns and Punk will both be on Monday Night Raw from MSG in just
29:17a few days.
29:19And the Viper Randy Orton cashed in all his longtime friendship chips on the American nightmare.
29:29Cody Rhodes a couple of weeks ago with a vicious beat down.
29:32The undisputed WWE champ gets a shot at payback at WrestleMania when those two go one on one and oh.
29:42Randy Orton, he's up next.
29:45And we heard from Jelly Roll just moments ago saying Cody Rhodes is on his way here to this arena
29:50in Pittsburgh to SmackDown.
29:51Cody's on his way.
30:13The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
30:16Introducing first from St. Louis, Missouri, playing in at 280 pounds, the Viper, Randy Orton.
30:28A week ago we heard from Randy Orton as the crowd sings along to his famous lyrics.
30:34And those lyrics were how he explained his why.
30:37Why he viciously attacked Cody Rhodes just as he did to Matt Cardona.
30:43Look at this scene.
30:43He's a completely out of control and hugely dangerous Randy Orton that you do not want to be anywhere near
30:55right now.
30:56Least of all with a broken wrist like his opponent but what Matt Cardona has.
31:03Of course, that wrist break occurred last week in a vicious attack from the Viper.
31:09Look at this scene.
31:12And that signature pose.
31:14The man who started the night by saying,
31:16I can't be held responsible for what happens with those voices in my head.
31:21Three weeks to WrestleMania.
31:23Matt Cardona, Randy Orton next on SmackDown.
31:31There's so much to WrestleMania week.
31:33And of course, Vegas is going to be hosting the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
31:40It will be at Dolby Live at Park MGM.
31:43Come your way on Friday, April 17th at 9 p.m. Pacific time.
31:46Local there in Vegas.
31:47Of course, this year honoring AJ Styles and Demolition.
31:51Steph McMahon.
31:52Dennis Rodman announced.
31:54Psycho Sid.
31:55People feel great about that and bad news.
31:57Brown tickets on sale now via Ticketmaster for the Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
32:07Now there's Randy Orton.
32:08In recent weeks, we've all collectively taken this deep dive into the mind of Orton.
32:14The self-reflection he's had.
32:16The mystery mentoring phone calls.
32:18The old school venomous cruelty.
32:29And here's the opponent, from Long Island, New York, weighing in at 230 pounds, Matt Cardona!
32:39Wade, of course, an injured Matt Cardona, who's straight at it.
32:44What are you doing, Matt?
32:46I admire the bravery, but it makes no sense whatsoever.
32:50First of all, at 100...
32:52Oh, God!
32:53He just used the cast as a weapon!
32:55Yeah, he did!
32:56Well, that should be highly illegal.
32:57It's there as a protective measure.
32:59Are you...
33:00I mean, consider what this guy had to endure a week ago, and why he's injured like that,
33:05and what Randy Orton did, Barron.
33:07Well, I've got to be honest with you, I thought right off the bat, Matt Cardona has zero chance,
33:11but perhaps with that cast, and with fire in his belly, Matt Cardona...
33:17Oh!
33:18Oh!
33:19That left wrist just...
33:20Oh!
33:25Oh!
33:26Oh!
33:26Oh!
33:27Oh, my God.
33:27That's it's Orton with a little something extra on it.
33:30All right, well, I'll tell you right now, I think whatever chance Matt Cardona did have
33:33has just gone begging, and Randy Orton, after getting blasted with that cast, and I'm keeping
33:40well clear of the Viper.
33:44No...
33:45Oh, gee.
33:45Oh, watch out!
33:46I'm gonna put the security guard's head off right there.
33:50Oh, and again, slamming down that injured wrist.
33:56Oh!
33:57Small on the back, on the barrier.
34:02As now, Orton just continues to do more and more damage a week ago.
34:07I mean, it's...
34:07It's just relentless, and it's verging on psychotic, and what the hell?
34:11Oh, no.
34:11Is Orton doing here?
34:14He's got it pinned under the top of the hood.
34:16Well, smart enough to break the count of the referee, but immediately back out, and
34:20oh, my God.
34:21Oh!
34:23Oh!
34:24Oh!
34:25And I'll tell you right now, that soft cast is not doing anything to protect Cardona against
34:32something like that.
34:41Oh!
34:48Oh!
34:49Oh!
34:49Oh!
34:49Oh!
34:51Oh!
34:57Oh!
34:59Oh!
35:01Oh!
35:02Oh!
35:04Oh!
35:05Oh!
35:06Oh!
35:07Oh!
35:07Oh!
35:18Oh!
35:20Oh!
35:22Oh!
35:30Oh!
35:39Oh!
35:39Oh!
35:40Oh!
35:43Oh!
35:45Oh!
35:48Oh!
36:15Oh!
36:15Oh!
36:15Oh!
36:15Oh!
36:15things to inhumane levels completely soulless and now torturing Matt Cardona whose only crime
36:24is standing up for his friend Cody Rhodes he was the one guy in the locker room last week who
36:30stood
36:31up and said something to Randy Orton and he's been paying the price Wade ever since everybody
36:38in that locker room was saying the same thing but not one person dared say it to the face
36:43of Randy Orton everybody disgusted everybody horrified the poor Matt Cardona now paying the
36:51price for his gallant act Horton's looking to rip off that protective support that broken bone in
37:00the left wrist oh my god oh well just bending it backwards completely vulnerable now is that joint
37:08and in sheer agony is Matt Cardona and this referee might want to step in here and just
37:13cool the whole thing off and now you understand the conversation that Orton had with Nick Aldis
37:19earlier saying give me Cardona Cardona who came out and hit Orton with the microphone to start the
37:25evening and you sense that Orton has almost lost interest in winning this match rather he just
37:32wants to prolong the agony and the torture of Matt Cardona that is exactly what it has been torture
37:39with one simple target that right there the left wrist that was pinned in a steel chair and crashed down
37:46on
37:46a week ago by the Viper
37:56and this is just textbook autumn with that Garvin stomp targeted on those broken bones in that wrist of Cardona
38:05just say I quit Matt end this
38:18just said you see that post right there and he does run him right into it again as unstable as
38:26they come those voices in the head of Randy Orton are in full control of the body of the 14
38:33time world champ
38:34and this is the result
38:44writhing in pain yeah I wear it in every breath that he exhales
39:08and he does
39:11and he does
39:24well a loud and clear message to anybody else in that locker room who wants to step to Randy Orton
39:30right now
39:31stay back
39:36three weeks
39:37hold on hold on
39:39hold on hold on hold on and on
39:46and it is Cody Cody is here at SmackDown
39:54& smile
39:56up
39:57Hi
40:18Cody Rhodes has arrived, the American nightmare, 14 days removed from one of the worst beatings
40:31we've ever seen. I mean, we don't know what physical condition Cody is in. He certainly looks laser
40:41focused, but I've got to be honest with you, Joe Tess, based on what we just saw happen to Matt
40:47Cardona, I think those security guards need to redouble their effort to try and prevent Cody
40:53coming anywhere near this ring.
41:04Rhodes makes his way through the backstage. The video cameras were capturing the arrival
41:12of Cody's bus and his entrance into the back of the arena as Randy took note after that beating
41:20and victory over Matt Cardona.
41:25There is something dark behind the eyes of Cody Rhodes.
41:32Bearing in mind the vicious beatdown his formerly great friend Randy Orton issued to him two weeks ago.
41:42Very little in the way of updates on the health or whereabouts of Cody Rhodes until Jelly Roll broke
41:48the news that he was heading here. Clearly the ire of Cody Rhodes' frustrations and anger is stuck in the
41:59center of the ring after just decimating poor Matt Cardona here on SmackDown.
42:21And there is his friend Jelly Roll.
42:27And I just have a sense of severe foreboding about what is about to happen here on SmackDown.
42:33It feels like one of those moments before disaster strikes.
42:42Oh, meanwhile, security was trying to control Randy Orton almost preemptively and instead Orton just dismisses them.
43:11Incredible scene here on SmackDown.
43:14Randy Orton in the middle of the ring as he saw the arrival of Cody Rhodes, 14 days removed from
43:21the brutal piece of the match.
43:22The beating of the undisputed champion that he doled out. Cody Rhodes returns.
43:39And now you can see Nick Aldis and security trying to contain him.
43:43Come on.
43:44Come on.
43:45Go, go, go.
43:46Go, go.
43:48Go.
43:49Corey, go.
43:49Go, go, go, go.
43:51But he's coming to the bathroom.
43:52Back up.
43:53Just doing talk.
43:55I'm thinking about wrestling.
43:57Just doing talk.
44:00Go, go, go.
44:01I'm just doing that assys.
44:01Just here to talk to him, he says.
44:03And he gets them that assurance.
44:05You cannot believe.
44:06everywhere.
44:08We're playing.
44:09Winner, RBj.
44:23they're not talking they're not talking center of the ring
44:27rose punch after punch kick after kick i don't believe that anyone was buying the talk line

44:41a couple of weeks ago our security guards trying to get some control absolutely no chance lads
44:50security trying to tear them apart and who knows where this one is gonna go
44:58cody sending security everywhere as he dumps randy oh the steel chair is back and cody

45:10and who can blame it cody is all over randy oh there's just no way to get away from the
45:20wwe champ looks like a man possessed
45:29right to his eyes as he gets it down onto the desk
45:36finally some separation and a bit of control
45:41finally a little respite for randy alton clearly worse for wear here
45:48but in whole pursuit now blocked by these security guards cody rose has not had his pound of flesh
46:03and now warden freeing himself for the guards
46:07absolute mayhem here at ringside oh just do not have enough security guards or officials to get a grip on
46:15this thing big body shot by rose right hand after right hand two weeks removed from when a steel chair
46:24was
46:25smashing down on his head yeah and i wonder how much randy orton regrets that now
46:30the american nightmare the undisputed champ
46:36taking it right to his wrestlemania title challenger
