00:00Get up for Sami Zayn, can't wait for that one.
00:30Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Samoan werewolves, Jacob Batu!
00:38Listen, there are few athletes with more punch resistance, more recuperative power, but you can see...
00:49...the Samoan werewolves, Jacob Batu!
00:54Listen, there are few athletes with more punch resistance, more recuperative power,
00:58but you can see the effects, the limping from Jacob Batu last week, the car crash, the brawl, that was
01:04only the beginning, Wade.
01:06Yeah, came off his side, T-Bone car wreck involving Drew McIntyre and Jacob Batu.
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 hellbent on smashing each other to bits in a hugely violent brawl.
01:27Near three hours long, and this was the terrifying climax.
01:30Both men ended up taking a 20-foot fall from some scaffolding outside the arena,
01:38which left our medical staff working overtime in the aftermath.
01:42Clearly, Jacob Batu still bearing the scars of that battle.
01:55Yaraimi!
01:58Yaraimi!
02:15Yaraimi!
02:16I'm limping, busted open, cracked ribs, and it's all got to do with one person.
02:36It 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 family.
02:58Man, you try to take food off my kids' table, Drew.
03:05What you thought?
03:06Kicking my teeth down my throat was going to keep me down.
03:11What you thought?
03:12You thought hitting me in the head with the title was going to keep me down.
03:18Huh?
03:19You thought hitting me with a cord, pulling me out through the windshield, and banging my head on the cord
03:26until 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 was going to hold me down.
03:36Huh?
03:37Hell no!
03:42Hell no!
03:45Hell no!
03:48Hell no!
03:54Hey, Drew, you did all that, but I'm still standing.
04:03I'm still here, and as long as I got air in these lungs, then that means every week, every week,
04:13Drew, I'm going to dog walk your punk ass.
04:16You are!
04:17You are!
04:18Whoo!
04:20You are!
04:22They're!
04:22...
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.
06:21Enough.
06:24Enough.
06:24You just stay right there, Jacob.
06:25Both 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.
06:49That's right, Drew, you get your wish.
06:52You 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, so I won't be held responsible.
07:07WWE won't be held responsible.
07:10There will be no disqualifications, no count-outs.
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.
07:27Well, isn'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.
07:47And now they get to do whatever the hell they want to each other at WrestleMania
07:53in an unsanctioned match.
07:59Hey, Cardona, man.
08:00I feel really, really bad.
08:03I see what happened with Randy last week, and I sent him out there to apologize, man.
08:07I'm sorry.
08:07Yeah, man, come on.
08:08I know, but you know that the Randy we know is not the Randy that was there last week, man.
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.
08:20Cody's on the way.
08:21Y'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 marky 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 is that?
09:19Chelsea!
09:21Hi.
09:21I'm so glad I caught you.
09:23I feel like we got off on the wrong foot.
09:27Get it?
09:28What?
09:28I love that we can jump!
09:29Oh my God!
09:30Not today.
09:32You know what, Chelsea?
09:33What do you want?
09:35Well, I wanted to tell you that you have a very big match tonight against Julia, and as
09:40a former United States Women's Champion, twice, I feel like I'd be a great resource for
09:45you.
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.
10:02It's just respect.
10:03That was so rude.
10:04Baby roots.
10:05Take me away.
10:23The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
10:26Introducing first, accompanied by, Tiana Chase, from Tokyo, Japan.
10:32She is the Women's United States Champion, Julia!
10:37Julia!
10:39The two-time U.S. Champion, Julia, with Tiana James by her side.
10:43A couple weeks ago, Tiana 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!
11:06Roman ranks!
11:07And 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.
11:27Get ready for a fight!
11:29NXT 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.
11:47The world is going to be awesome.
11:49The world 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.
12:00Download 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.
12:12And 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 it after that title.
12:24It's Tiffy time!
12:41And her opponent from Prior Lake, Minnesota, Tiffany Stratton!
12:50So Tiffany beat the official representative of the United States champion, Julia, Kiana James,
12:58a couple of weeks ago and has subsequently been making a ton of noise about taking the U.S. title
13:04from 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 weeks ago, Julia attempted to interfere with Tiffany Stratton in that match
13:30with Kiana James.
13:32And look, Julia may play it down, but anybody who has been watching WWE for the past couple of years
13:39knows full well that Tiffany Stratton is more than capable of taking a championship from anyone on the roster on
13:47any given night.
13:48So 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.
14:01The current champion, Jade Cargill, was able to climb that mountaintop in 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.
14:15Arguably, 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,
14:37which again would have guaranteed her a main event 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.
15:05Yeah, and Stratton might be playing it cool.
15:07But these are really panic stations for a woman of her caliber, a competitor who expects to be at the
15:12very top.
15:13She 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 know if they get caught.
15:23Julia, Julia 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 rag-dolled 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.
15:42But 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.
15:53And had the intended results.
16:12The beautiful madness, Julia and Keanu James trying to gather herself a bit here as Tiffany Stratton is off to
16:21a 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 pulled her woman out to the outside.
16:31A little pep talk.
16:32Hey, 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.
16:42Yeah, 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.
17:15Keanu James on the outside must be pretty damn proud of her handiwork here.
17:21Instrumental 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.
17:41Good 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.
18:04Have a look at 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 with the body of the former WWE women's
18:22champ.
18:44What a rough evening it has been thus far for Tiffany Stratton who simply cannot get a foothold in this
18:51matchup at this point.
18:56And this has always been the problem with Julia.
18:58If she gets the upper hand, she usually is relentless as is the case tonight.
19:16Julia, the women's United States champion, has been in control here against Tiffany Stratton as Tiffany looks to rally back
19:23in front of this massive crowd in Pittsburgh for SmackDown.
19:27Yeah, it's been about three or four minutes of overwhelming offense going the direction of Tiffany Stratton.
19:34And just when she gets a window to break out, straight back in control is Julia.
19:39But that may change things.
19:42Spine buster from Stratton.
19:44As both competitors are down.
19:47Stratton's 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.
20:21It's showing it all now.
20:23Looking for that range.
20:24Cartwheel Alabama slam.
20:26Could this be for Tiffany?
20:29And now it is Julia who is clinging on for dear life as the official rep on the outside.
20:35Kiana James again barking instructions as things are starting to go haywire here for Julia.
20:47Julia able to follow up Stratton.
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.
21:25Well, Tiffany 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, I 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 on Swanton.
22:17Hook in the leg to put it away.
22:21A little extra something on that Swanton from Tiffany Stratton.
22:26Full body weight crushing 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 Buff.
22:39Smelling victory now as 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 set.
23:02And Kiana 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 a win.
23:18There is your winner.
23:20The women's United States champion, Julia.
23:25The knees up.
23:26A little bit of a delay caused by Kiana James.
23:29The knees 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.
23:44Excuse me, Bayley, little Ira.
23:45A quick word before you guys head out.
23:48What brought you two to SmackDown?
23:50Well, if you saw Nia and Lash thing, 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.
24:10Especially after Monday.
24:12Madison Square Garden, when we get it done, the whole tag division is on notice.
24:17Now let's go.
24:18Well, thanks guys.
24:19Safe travels to Raw.
24:35Well, Randy Orton got exactly what he wanted tonight.
24:40He gets Matt Cardona one-on-one.
24:44There's 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 Ova Femi announcing himself.
25:04We'll look back at what happened between Ova and Brock Lesnar this past Monday.
25:08That is coming your way.
25:18Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:20Reznor.
25:39Mania in Vegas is coming our way.
25:50Oba! Oba's got brass!
25:55Holy!
25:59Oba Debbie!
26:02How many times have we heard the same narrative?
26:08This is going to be the Slayer of the Beast, the Conqueror's Conqueror, one to beat the one in 21
26:16and 1.
26:21This overhyped wannabe ruler!
26:28Because at WrestleMania, you're gonna be beaten!
26:32You're gonna be victimized!
26:34Damn it, you will be conquered by Brock!
26:40Buster!
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 it!
27:09Listen to this place!

27:12Now it feels like they win!
27:16Two unfeasibly large and powerful human beings!
27:22And only one winner!
27:25Ruler versus the Beast at WrestleMania!
27:29Now, also at WrestleMania, this is the massive news of the night!
27:35It was just announced!
27:37Jacob 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!
28:24The Women's World Championship match at WrestleMania will feature Stephanie Bacare defending against Liv Morgan!
28:33And you have heard what Bacare has said, that she was forged in fire, that they took different roads to
28:38get there!
28:39The 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!
28:56The WWE Women's Championship will be on the line!

29:39WrestleMania 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,
29:47Cody Rhodes is on his way here to this arena in Pittsburgh to SmackDown!
29:51Cody's on his way!
29:52I hear the city coming down in PittsburghLY!
29:56I hear voices in my head!
29:59Theyulptml gaze to me!
30:00They register, they talk to me!
30:13The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
30:17Introducing first, from St. Louis, Missouri.
30:28a week ago we heard from Randy Orton as the crowd sings along to his famous
30:34lyrics and those lyrics were how he explained his why why he viciously
30:39attacked Cody Rhodes just as he did to Matt Cardona
30:45it's a completely out of control and hugely dangerous Randy Orton that you do not want to be anywhere near
30:55right now least of all with a broken wrist like his opponent for what Matt Cardona has of course that
31:04wrist break occurred last week in a vicious attack from the Viper
31:09look at this scene
31:12and that signature pose the 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 Matt Cardona Randy Orton next on SmackDown
31:31there's so much to Wrestlemania week and of course Vegas is going to be hosting the
31:362026 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony it will be at Dolby Live at Park MGM come your way on
31:43Friday April 17th at 9 p.m. Pacific time local there in Vegas of course this year honoring AJ Styles
31:50and Demolition Steph McMahon Dennis Rodman announced Psycho Sid people feel great about that and bad news Brown tickets on
31:58sale now via Ticketmaster for the Hall of Fame induction ceremony
32:07there's Randy Orton recent weeks we've all collectively taken this deep dive into the mind of Orton the self-reflection
32:15he's had the mystery mentoring phone calls the old school venomous cruelty
32:29and his opponent from Long Island New York weighing in at 230 pounds Matt Cardona
32:39weight of course an injured Matt Cardona who's straight at it
32:44what are you doing Matt I admire the bravery but it makes no sense whatsoever first of all at a
32:52hundred oh god he just used the cast as a weapon yeah he did well that should be highly illegal
32:57it's there as a protective measure are you I mean consider what this guy had to endure a week ago
33:03and why he's injured like that and what Randy Orton did Baron well I gotta be honest with you I
33:08thought right off the bat Matt Cardona has zero chance but perhaps with that cast
33:13and with fire in his belly Matt Cardona
33:17oh geez that left wrist just
33:20oh wow
33:26oh my god
33:27with a little something extra on it
33:30alright well I'll tell you right now I think whatever chance Matt Cardona did have has just gone begging
33:35and Randy Orton after getting blasted
33:38with that cast and I'm keeping well clear of the Viper
33:44no
33:44no
33:45oh geez
33:45oh watch out
33:46put the security guard's head off right there
33:49oh and again slamming down
33:51that injured wrist
33:55oh
33:56oh
33:57small the back
33:58on the barrier
33:59oh
34:02oh
34:03oh
34:04oh
34:05oh
34:06oh
34:07oh
34:20oh
34:21oh
34:22oh
34:23oh
34:25oh
34:26oh
34:26oh
34:30oh
34:31oh
34:31oh
34:32oh
34:33oh
34:33oh
34:34oh
34:35oh
34:35oh
34:35oh
34:36oh
34:40just the brutality of randy orton continues on i mean it's absolutely relentless
34:47just an ice cold look in the eye of orton despite the veins bulging
34:54oh cardona able to get that big boot up he needed that oh rough rider how did he come up
35:02with that
35:02and that might have been a hail mary there from matt cardona and somehow randy orton kicking out
35:17just when it looked like matt cardona had pulled out a miracle with the rough rider a late kick out
35:23from orton i believe cardona reaching for that left wrist so much damage has been done again
35:31but what does cardona have left in the tank here and orton completely rocked with that rough rider
35:37has no idea where he's at and in whole pursuit now is cardona but i think caught in the eye
35:45sneaky move from orton playing possum there perhaps
35:53and this just goes to show matt cardona was thinking with his heart but not his head
35:58and this is where that gets you against someone like this version of randy orton
36:04now this version of randy orton has done extreme damage in recent weeks extreme
36:13i mean he's just taken things to inhumane levels completely soulless and now torturing matt
36:22cardona whose only crime is standing up for his friend cody roads he was the one guy in the locker
36:30room last week who stood up and said something to randy orton and he's been paying the price
36:36wade ever since everybody in that locker room was saying the same thing but not one person
36:42dared say it to the face of randy orton everybody disgusted everybody horrified
36:49but poor matt cardona now paying the price for his gallant act
36:55orton's looking to rip off that protective support that broken bone in the left wrist
37:01oh my god oh what i'm just bending it backwards completely vulnerable now is that jointed in
37:08sheer agony is matt cardona and this referee might want to step in here and just call the
37:14whole thing off and now you understand the conversation that orton had with nick all this
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 wants
37:32to prolong the agony and the torture of matt cardona that is exactly what it has been torture with one
37:40simple target that right there the left wrist that was pinned in a steel chair and crashed down on a
37:47week ago by the viper and this is just textbook orton with that garvin stomp targeted on those broken bones
38:03in that wrist the cardona just 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
38:26come those voices in the head of randy order in full control of the body of the 14 time world
38:34champ
38:34and this is the result
38:44writhing in pain yeah i'm wearing it in every breath that he exhales
38:50okay oh
38:52marcifully
38:55it is over
38:57if randy actually commits the pinning cardona here
39:10and he does
39:14here is your winner the viper randy orton
39:24well a loud and clear message to anybody else in that locker room who wants to step to randy orton

39:39hold on hold on

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.
41:33Bearing in mind the vicious beatdown his formerly great friend Randy Orton issued to him two
41:40weeks ago.
41:42Very little in the way of updates on the health or whereabouts of Cody Rhodes until Jelly Roll
41:47broke the news that he was heading here.
41:51Clearly the ire of Cody Rhodes' frustrations and anger is stood in the center of the ring
42:00after 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.
42:52It feels like one of those moments when he was in the middle of the ring as he saw the
43:18arrival of Cody Rhodes, 14 days removed from the brutal
43:22beating 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.
43:43Good.
43:44Come on.
43:44Come on.
43:45Come on.
43:46Come on.
43:48Come on.
43:49Come on.
43:50Yeah.
43:51Come on.
43:52Back up dude.
43:54He's just gonna talk.
43:55Think about wrestling.
43:57Just gonna talk.
43:59Come on.
44:01Just here to talk to him.
44:02He says.
44:03He gets them that assurance.
44:23they're not talking they're not talking center of the ring
44:28punch after punch kick after kick i don't believe that anyone was buying the talk line
44:34these are major reprisals from cody rose coming away of randy orton after that heinous assault
44:41a couple of weeks ago security guards trying to get some control absolutely no chance lads
44:50security trying to tear them apart but who knows where this one is gonna go
44:58oh cody's sending security everywhere as he dumps randy oh the steel chair is back and cody
45:04denies it and lands a huge right hand well this is a cody rose completely frenzied furious and who
45:11can blame it cody is all over randy oh there's just no way to get away from the wwe champ
45:21looks like a
45:22mark possessing
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 orton clearly worse for wear here
45:48but in whole pursuit now blocked by these security guards cody rhodes has not had his pound of flesh
46:03and now wharton freeing himself for the guards absolute mayhem here at ringside oh just do not
46:12have enough security guards or officials to get a grip on this thing
46:18big body shot by rose right hand after right hand two weeks removed from when a steel chair was
46:25smashing down on his head yeah and i wonder how much randy orton regrets that now the american nightmare
46:33the undisputed champ
46:37taking it right to his wrestlemania title challenger
46:48cody's free
46:51cody was absolutely ferocious in these attacks
46:55of randy orton there may be no holding back the wwe champ
47:01randy welcome to your worst nightmare randy who collapsed down to his seat all of a sudden
47:07it's randy orton who now is on top of cody
47:17the intensity just boiling over here in pittsburgh complete pandemonium here
47:23in the ring in the arena randy orton perhaps has had enough but no
47:37it's just dropping anyone who comes near with him with the exception of cody rhodes
47:54cody's everywhere you look and now cody digging deep into the eyeball
48:00of randy orton nothing is off limits between these two as you said wanting that pound of flesh
48:08two weeks of stewing two weeks of recovery and now this
48:16tomorrow randy orton i would be a hasty retreat now but that is not how orton is built
48:23not this version of the viper the amount of right hands that have been landed flush
48:28as security continues to try their best to pull apart these two well their best is not good enough
48:36joe test two men who two weeks ago were discussing each other as brothers oh how things have changed
48:46cody said he wanted this version of randy he wanted it in vegas he's gotten it early
48:52and cody more than welcomes delivering it back
48:56i mean these two must be absolutely exhausted completely burning themselves out yet every time
49:08they lock eyes a new level of energy becomes unlocked
49:17this is going to be a long three weeks before wrestlemania here on smackdown
49:24jellie roll as things have settled down jellie roll has now entered the ring of course close with both nails
49:37jellie is really the one at the moment at the moment clan mediator here is jellie roll
49:46between someone has to play the peacemaker randy and cody now randy is punching security guards again
49:53oh and our ko on jelly
50:03jellie
50:04a viper strike on jellie roll
50:23the peacemaker with good intentions
50:27the peacemaker with good intentions
50:27just got dropped
50:29that tells you exactly what friendships are worth to randy altar at this point in time
50:36he said i can't be held responsible for what happens and now concern for jelly roll 22 days to mania
50:4622 days to this volcano erupting and deciding each man's now and each man's forever randy and cody
