00:22Hey Wade, it's official!
00:24The self-described newest, hottest, most prolific free agent to land on SmackDown
00:28now has the match.
00:30Cody Rhodes, WWE champ is taking on Ricky Saints, live here tonight on SmackDown.
00:38Thank you GM, Nick Aldis, give yourself a pay raise.
00:43Cody medically cleared for takeoff.
00:50I can see something annoying.
00:54Purple company by Lady Reed and Pal and Henley from Jersey City, New Jersey, representing
01:02Fatal Influence, JCJ!
01:12All right, cut the music, I got something to say.
01:20Aw, thank you for that warm welcome.
01:23I expected nothing less from you losers in Oklahoma.
01:31Now last week, you all got just a small taste of what Fatal Influence is bringing to Friday
01:40Night SmackDown.
01:43And clearly, someone just couldn't get enough.
01:47But you know what?
01:49I love that.
01:50I thrive off that.
01:52Because if there's anything Fatal Influence loves to do, it's embarrass a legend.
02:04Lainey, Fallon, and yours truly, JC Jane, are gonna take out your precious little legends,
02:14one at a time.
02:17And who better to start with than with Charlotte Flair?
02:23Woo!
02:31All right, I gotta tell you, right off the bat, Joe Tess, I absolutely love everything
02:36about Fatal Influence, swaggering confidence of three ladies who know they are destined for
02:44the top.
02:45Well, a large crowd here in Tulsa, Oklahoma seemingly doesn't with that reception again,
02:49just like we heard down in DFW last week.
02:53Bad taste.
02:53Bad taste.
02:54A week ago, we showed you what happened when JC and her crew shockingly appeared in the
02:59midst of that tag team match.
03:01Pulled Paige off the ring apron in the midst of that match with Charlotte and Alexa.
03:04And then Fatal Influence attacked.
03:06A knee strike and a super kick to Charlotte included.
03:09So here is Charlotte really focused and hyped up for a little revenge.
03:13Charlotte was really collateral damage and Fatal Influence making a name for themselves
03:18last week.
03:19And we all know Charlotte Flair, she's not going to take that lying down, is she?
03:24Of course, it was interesting to see the interaction with Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley
03:28earlier tonight, including last week.
03:30They both have a, quote, JC Jane issue after what happened, but Charlotte so much history
03:35It's more than them.
03:36The entire roster has a JC Jane issue at this point.
03:40Rhea offered up her help.
03:41Charlotte, of course, a history with Rhea.
03:43So much there.
03:44She cautiously dealt with her.
03:46I don't know if she fully entrusts her with something like that.
03:49So she took a pass on Rhea's offer earlier.
03:53Who comes out of NXT and week one they fight Rhea Ripley, week two they fight Charlotte Flair,
03:59two of the greatest of all time.
04:01I run this division now!
04:03How can you not admire JC Jane's confidence for stepping to these women and taking it to
04:11them?
04:12Maybe a little easy to have that confidence when you have Fatal Influence surrounding the
04:16ring, as was the case against Rhea last week, losing via DQ.
04:20How smart JC Jane is this?
04:22Fallon Hedley was interfering with the match.
04:24Caused the DQ.
04:25And we had that brawl afterwards.
04:27And they teamed up and held up Rhea and hit her with the rolling encore.
04:31I'll tell you right now, JC Jane has just been a step ahead of Charlotte Flair thus far.
04:37However, the class of Charlotte Flair coming to the full.
04:41Look at the Queen, 14 time world champion.
04:45Uh oh.
04:49And Charlotte showing the skill and athleticism.
04:54And here's part of the problem, you step up from NXT, there are levels to this.
04:59And there is no level higher than that of Charlotte Flair.
05:03Oh yeah!
05:06That's what it's about!
05:12Big kick up top from the living legend.
05:16Well JC Jane's been trying to best to get into the head of Charlotte Flair.
05:19It simply hasn't worked!
05:21Queen going for it right away.
05:23Jane kicks free.
05:25Jane clearly did her homework.
05:28Uh oh.
05:30Well hello Alexa.
05:53Charlotte Flair and JC Jane.
05:56Our opening match here on Friday Night SmackDown from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
06:01Hard to believe we're just eight days away from backlash.
06:04And that World Heavyweight Championship between Jacob Fatu and Roman Reigns.
06:11Seven days removed from JC Jane and Fatal Influence making their debut on SmackDown.
06:19And this is an interesting test now for JC Jane.
06:21She's had it her own way thus far in the match.
06:24But with Charlotte suddenly stepping up a nice distraction there from Laney Reed on the outside behind.
06:31The referee's back could turn it flat in JC Jane's favor.
06:35Right across the throat of Charlotte Flair.
06:38Wait a second Joe Tess.
06:39What's the issue here with Fatal Influence getting involved?
06:42As far as I'm aware, Alexa Bliss got herself involved on the other side of the ring just a few
06:47moments ago.
06:48Alexa Bliss is just neutrally being over there, seeing to things.
06:52Meanwhile, Laney Reed played a major role in what just happened moments ago.
06:56And that cannonball.
06:58What a strike from JC Jane.
07:01As Charlotte able to get that shoulder up.
07:03Yeah, and I'll tell you right now, a lot's been made of the attitude of JC Jane.
07:07Some people don't like it, you included.
07:09That's right.
07:09A lot of people have complained about the fact that Fatal Influence have got involved in matches.
07:14However, the pure athleticism of JC Jane really is something to behold.
07:20Driving that knee straight up and slamming Charlotte down to the mat.
07:24And I like this from JC Jane.
07:27Fully aware of the caliber of Charlotte Flair.
07:30Not giving Charlotte Flair an inch.
07:32No breathing room whatsoever.
07:37Stop gesticulating the face of me.
07:39You're trying to get yourself an autograph or something.
07:42I'm trying to do my job.
07:44I got Fatal Influence here.
07:45Right in my face.
07:49I'm telling you again what they think of JC Jane.
07:52Yeah, well, they're wrong.
07:54They're saying some very nasty things about JC Jane,
07:56because JC Jane is currently winning this match.
08:00Oh, man.
08:01Driving that elbow right into the sternum of Charlotte.
08:05Hook in the leg, we're gonna put it away here.
08:07I have noticed a real bias starting to seep out of your pores, Joe Tess.
08:12Trying to counterbalance your bias.
08:13No, no, no, no, no, no.
08:14I pull it down the middle every single week.
08:17Incredible.
08:19Oh, it's rodeo time, Joe Tess.
08:21I see that.
08:25And it's a PBR.
08:28Kick in the back.
08:28JC Jane's been in complete control.
08:30What?
08:37Charlotte!
08:39Charlotte!
08:40Charlotte!
08:40On 15, guys.
08:41Do a break.
08:42I can go to tonight.
08:53former two-time nxt women's champion jc jane getting the best of charlotte flair right now
08:59as flair tries to break free and ramming her into the corner there and let's not undersell
09:05getting the best of charlotte flair that is nigh on mission impossible even more so with somebody
09:11who's been competing in nxt and is only just stepping up to this very top tier shows how
09:17impressive jc jane really is but how's about this oh look at the queen how about that that's freakish
09:25strength there from charlotte flair and that is the problem when you're up against charlotte flair
09:30you can never get too confident because charlotte flair always has something up her sleeve and this
09:36is a major turning point of course the confidence of jc jane has been bubbling over talking about
09:41revolutionizing the game and taking all the gold and having all these legends fall one by one
09:47those flair chops being delivered with a little extra string sting here in tulsa
09:58jc jane oh is in a real real bad way right now
10:07oh the walkover clothesline by charlotte and this is the problem charlotte flair now going through the gears
10:15and finally hitting top speed and jc jane does not seem to have an answer
10:21charlotte mounting a great comeback here
10:26jc jane is in complete control but flair has rallied back as she has done time and again such great
10:33body
10:33control from charlotte flair once again we should be used to it you simply never get used to this
10:39high cross body oh right through smart instincts there from jc jane who is pulling herself back from
10:48the break or is she big boot from flair this one is turning into a real barn burner here but
10:56it once
10:57again looks like charlotte flair with the upper hand and perhaps ready to close this thing off in style
11:04stepping over as she's got her in the target zone just where flair likes it
11:14here goes charlotte
11:20and at the last possible second that left shoulder got up and that is a sign of major frustration in
11:27the face of charlotte flair who perhaps did not know the depth of durability that jc jane has
11:35alan laney looking on one side alexa bliss on the other side as charlotte tries to maintain control here
11:42chopped down from behind by jc jane that's the knee that's taken so beautiful that big knee and flair survives
11:52it
11:52palm knee right to the point of the jaw take another look at this level of impact dropping
12:00charlotte flair and almost scoring what would have to be a major shock win for jc j oh she was
12:07looking
12:07for the rolling encore instead flair able to get that big boot up and now she's going for it again
12:12trying to lock it in can she arch that figure eight leg lock up can she bridge it and now

12:54well you don't have to like it joe test but that was stunningly perfect cohesion from fatal influence
13:03and astoundingly jc jane has just beaten the multi-time world champ charlotte flair with great help from
13:12fallon and laney again and now what are they doing all right now it's mugging time oh alexa trying to
13:21get in there now looking to show some fear and terror in the locker room a nice attempt by bliss
