00:00A certain charismatic firecracker approach to making friends and
00:06influencing people here on SmackDown.
00:09Ricky Saints likes himself from Ricky Saints.
00:11He believes he's already the top dog on this roster,
00:15regardless of everyone else's resumes.
00:17And it's up to people like Cody Rhodes to prove him otherwise if they can.
00:22Vertical Delay Suplex denied.
00:25Cody switches on him and sends him into the corner.
00:30See the reflexes and speed of Saints, but just the power and fight in Rhodes.
00:35Yeah, there was a lot of anger in that shot from Cody Rhodes that had been building up presumably
00:41since immediately after WrestleMania.
00:43Cody's got a little something to work out of his system here tonight, but
00:47Ricky Saints clearly stepping up to the plate.
00:50A fast pace early on here.
00:56Ricky Saints debut on SmackDown.
00:59See Cody reaching for that left eye weight.
01:01If it wasn't bothering him before, and it certainly is now.
01:05This is what we're talking about.
01:06Medically clear does not mean 100%.
01:08Medically clear can mean 70%.
01:11I don't know how good the vision is, but certainly it is incredibly painful right now for the WWE champ.
01:17And that was the big news that was delivered by Cody personally to this crowd here in Tulsa,
01:22a massive war earlier tonight that he's medically cleared and he was up for a fight.
01:27So when Ricky Saints came out and stood right in front of him, Cody was more than welcome.
01:33Oh, he's going old school and he's feeling it with all that swag and personality.
01:39Ricky Saints.
01:40Tick toes on the top rope.
01:44Absolute Ricky Saints.
01:46That is why the spotlight loves this.
01:48Oh!
01:50Oh!
01:50Cody.
01:50That snaps, scoop, power slam, and you can see Cody finding it again.
01:57That's the worst thing you can do against Cody Rhodes.
02:00Stop mentally writing the guy off.
02:02How many times have we seen Cody dig himself out of trouble?
02:07A disaster kick and a wipe of that damaged left eye.
02:12Look at that look in his eye now.
02:14Cody Cutter!
02:18The undisputed champ.
02:21Showing everything that's within him.
02:23And this is why Cody Rhodes is the best.
02:28Ball numb.
02:29Saints trying to rally to his feet.
02:32But Rhodes has been getting the best of him.
02:36Oh!
02:37What a reversal by Ricky Saints.
02:41Oh, jeez.
02:42Saints hooks the leg.
02:44Cody gets that left shoulder up.
02:46It really is his to win now.
02:50Ricky Saints.
02:52Oh, here we go, Joe.
02:55Roshambo potential here.
02:57The big one.
02:58Oh, Cody.
02:59Look at Cody.
03:00Turning things around.
03:03The champ.
03:05Crossroads.
03:06Sickening.
03:07One.
03:08Two.
03:09Three.
