00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.

00:00:28Welcome to Tulsa, a town built on the full business of oil barons, and fans have struck it rich tonight.

00:00:34This SmackDown is gushing with star power.

00:00:37It's all on the heels of a family drama that has bubbled up.

00:00:40The Samoan werewolf has come for the OTC in WWE.

00:00:48Maredo, Texas, acknowledge me.

00:00:54There's an old saying, the title don't make the man, the man makes the title.

00:01:03Part 2, I was just getting to you.

00:01:07Gave you a week.

00:01:08I'm hoping you made the choice to unite our family and not divide it.

00:01:14I know exactly what I wanted.

00:01:17I didn't stutter when I told you that I didn't want that title, but I need that title.

00:01:25You ain't grind like me, Roman.

00:01:28Twelve years of suffering, not knowing what the next meal was going to be.

00:01:32So when y'all was up here running the bloodline, I was broke, grinding on the front line.

00:01:37But it ain't how you start, it's how you finish.

00:01:40And it got me standing here right now in front of your ass.

00:01:44You don't deserve it.

00:01:47You haven't earned it.

00:01:50Allowing you to compete against me, that's nepotism.

00:01:53I can't do that.

00:01:55The target death threat.

00:01:59Jacob Part 2 has snapped.

00:02:03I'm going to take everything, everything from you.

00:02:14Jacob, you want me at Backlash?

00:02:18I'll see you at Backlash.

00:02:25Only eight days away from the World Heavyweight Championship at Backlash.

00:02:29Roman Reigns making his first title defense since winning at WrestleMania.

00:02:33Jacob Part 2 opposite him.

00:02:35And we are told Part 2 is making his way to Box Center here in Tulsa.

00:02:42Plus, the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match is ahead.

00:02:47The new gold minted duo Paige and Brie Bella.

00:02:50They are here.

00:02:50They'll put the titles on the line as the irresistible forces are out to get it all back.

00:02:55Nia Jax and Lash Legend have come to Tulsa with steely focus and purpose.

00:03:01And Charlotte Flair, red hot last week.

00:03:04Oh, photo booth at all tonight.

00:03:06She's out to show the new kid in this town how things work here around SmackDown.

00:03:10The massive disruptor of the SmackDown roster is J.C. Jain.

00:03:14They had a fatal influence targeting every veteran last week.

00:03:18She could get their hands on upon their arrival.

00:03:20Now it's Charlotte she has to deal with tonight.

00:03:23Also ahead, Sami Zayn.

00:03:26A week removed from his clandestine Operation Gingerbread and Candy Cane attack.

00:03:31Who knows what Sami will have to say tonight.

00:03:35As we welcome you inside this great crowd here at the Box Center in downtown Tulsa.

00:03:41The Wrestlemania results have altered the landscape.

00:03:43And Backlash only a week out.

00:03:45Things are moving fast.

00:03:46The biggest names are all ready for more.

00:03:54Wrestling has moving on.

00:03:57Royal Family.

00:04:03Royal Family.

00:04:04Royal Family.

00:04:05Royal Family.

00:04:32Royal Family.

00:04:33Royal Family.

00:04:38Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the undisputed WWE Champion, the American Nightmare, Cody Rowe!

00:04:51John Wade with you here in Tulsa, and Wade, it hasn't exactly been the easiest victory tour of sorts for

00:04:55Cody after Wrestlemania, I mean a Wrestlemania where you get the victory but you can't even celebrate that night, the

00:05:00damage done post-match, but no damage to Cody's heart, his commitment, his reign, and to these fans, we saw

00:05:07that last week at Fort Worth, and we're thrilled to see him here in Tulsa as well.

00:05:10Yeah, Cody could have rather defiant figure last week, letting the world know that whatever it wants to throw at

00:05:18the champ, he is ready to throw it straight back with interest, although clearly showing the scars of that battle

00:05:25in Las Vegas.

00:05:33Chiefly that left eye.

00:05:36I mean, that's a good two-weeker right there.

00:05:38I know.

00:05:39I mean, we might be hitting three the way that still looks, and that is quite a substantial black eye.

00:05:44No surprises that Cody was not cleared to compete post-Wrestlemania.

00:05:50But he delivered a strong message last week, and he has come to be with his fans again here on

00:05:56SmackDown.

00:05:57I know.

00:06:31So, Tulsa, Oklahoma!

00:06:39What do you want to talk about?

00:06:45It's always nice when we can come out here and provide you with new information, and I have a little

00:06:51new information for you.

00:06:56Earlier tonight, I got here, I met with WWE's esteemed medical staff, I met with my friend, our general manager,

00:07:03Nick Aldis, to find out if I would be medically cleared for action.

00:07:31Well, that's exactly what happened because I am cleared for action.

00:07:41Which begets the question.

00:07:50Which begets the question.

00:07:51You're right.

00:07:52Which begets the question, what's next for Cody Rhodes on SmackDown?

00:08:00This is the revolution.

00:08:03Wow.

00:08:04Oh, maybe who's next?

00:08:09Speaking of next, here is NXT's finest.

00:08:16Absolute.

00:08:18On arrival, Ricky Saints.

00:08:21Recent NXT champ was NXT North American champ, the Crescent City Charmer.

00:08:27Ricky Saints has arrived at SmackDown.

00:08:54And he's not shy about letting them know it.

00:08:56And nor should he be, this has been one of the highlights of NXT programming over the past 12 months.

00:09:04And as Vic Joseph would tell you, voice of NXT, the spotlight just loves Ricky Saints, and follows him wherever

00:09:12he goes, including right here on the blue brand.

00:09:27You boo what you don't understand, I am absolute Ricky Saints.

00:09:37And I am the hottest, newest, flyest SmackDown free agent standing right in front of you.

00:09:47And if you don't know about me, you better ask about me.

00:09:51I'm young.

00:09:51I'm successful.

00:09:52I'm rich.

00:09:53I'm debonair.

00:09:54I'm suave.

00:09:55I'm basically everything your baby mama wishes you were.

00:10:03And wow, here we are.

00:10:06You and I, Cody, we're no strangers to each other, so I'm sure it's no surprise that I am out

00:10:11here.

00:10:13But I know that you feel the change in the air.

00:10:17And that change is a revolution.

00:10:20And when we talk about that, we talk about who's leading the revolution.

00:10:25There is one man.

00:10:26It is me.

00:10:29Since day one, it has always been me.

00:10:32I am the revolution.

00:10:34I am the man.

00:10:35And I want you to know something.

00:10:36Welcome to Friday Night Saints.

00:10:39And I want you to know something.

00:11:13Okay, Friday Night Saints it is.

00:11:16Well, you know, I am glad to have you.

00:11:19You know how I feel about you.

00:11:21But bold move here, so I'll go ahead and ask you.

00:11:26Ricky, what's the difference between now and the last time you stepped up to me?

00:11:39You.

00:11:41Yeah, you.

00:11:42I'm standing in front of a man.

00:11:44You got staples still probably in the back of your head.

00:11:46Your eyes still busted up.

00:11:48You're barely hanging on.

00:11:49Them three title reigns have aged you 30 years, dog.

00:11:56And you know what?

00:11:57I may be wrong about all of that.

00:11:59But one thing that I am, right, is the fact that I'm a former NXT champion.

00:12:04The fact that I'm a former North American champion.

00:12:07And there ain't nobody that can do that except for me because I'm absolute.

00:12:12I have stood in the background and congratulated you milestone after milestone when it was a detriment to my career.

00:12:21And I would only hope, my good friend, that you would keep that same energy for me because I'm here

00:12:28to relieve you of your duties, champ.

00:12:39Okay, okay.

00:12:43This is an easy thread to pull.

00:12:45I came out here in front of all our friends in Tulsa.

00:12:48I told all our friends in Tulsa that I was cleared for action.

00:12:52You look like your game for some action.

00:12:55So if that's what you want to do here tonight, Ricky Saints versus Cody Rhodes, is that what you want

00:13:01to do?

00:13:03Let's do it then.

00:13:08Ten minutes after Cody says he's medically cleared, he wants to do it here.

00:13:12Well, one more thing, actually.

00:13:20I didn't come out here to make a statement.

00:13:22I came out here to change who the show is about.

00:13:28Fair Ricky, let me remind you what I reminded everybody last week.

00:13:33On SmackDown, in WWE, I'm easy to find, hard to beat.

00:13:42Is he ever?

00:13:44Cody's cleared, and he's in a fighting mood.

00:13:47The new kid in town, Ricky Saints, steps to the big man of the SmackDown Mountains, and he may just

00:13:53find out.

00:13:54Glad you're with us here.

00:13:55Massive start to SmackDown with Cody coming out waiting, saying,

00:13:58I'm medically cleared, I'm ready to go, and Ricky Saints wasting no time.

00:14:01Well, that is indeed a bold move of Saints to step to the champ on day one here on SmackDown,

00:14:06and it sounds like we're going to find out if it pays off later on tonight, if that matchup gets

00:14:10made official.

00:14:11Do it, Mick Aldis.

00:14:12Yeah, this new blood on the roster is built a little differently.

00:14:14Speaking of new roster members, last week was all about the arrival of Fatal Influence.

00:14:21So this was tag action, which completely blew up when Fatal Influence arrived,

00:14:25made a major statement by dropping everybody in the match,

00:14:30laying waste to all competitors with some devastating signature offense.

00:14:36And if that wasn't enough, later on, J.C. Jane took on WWE Women's Champ,

00:14:40Rhea Ripley, more than holding her own, before once again Fatal Influence struck

00:14:47and attacked Mammy, leaving Mammy in a major heat with one rolling encore from J.C. Jane.

00:14:55This solidifying the newcomers was a serious threat.

00:14:58And with those images, let's head over to Kathy Kelly.

00:15:03Yeah, guys, I'm here with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.

00:15:06And last week, Fatal Influence made a big statement in their debut, attacking you two.

00:15:11Charlotte, tonight you have a one-on-one against J.C. Jane.

00:15:13I mean, are you worried at all about their numbers advantage?

00:15:17I can answer that.

00:15:26Listen, I tried to take on Fatal Influence last week alone, and I got ambushed.

00:15:34So, I'm willing to put our differences aside, if you are, to help out.

00:15:40Wow, Rhea, thank you, that's so nice.

00:15:44Listen, champ, I know we've teamed before, but it doesn't mean we need to team again.

00:15:51There are three of them.

00:15:54There's two of you guys.

00:15:56You need me.

00:15:58Charlotte, she makes a pretty good point.

00:16:01No, I know she makes a good point, but all I need is you.

00:16:04I mean, I know you guys got this, like, cute goth thing going on, but three's kind of a crowd.

00:16:10AOC, besties.

00:16:11Come on.

00:16:14Trying to make a dramatic exit.

00:16:16Oh, sorry, I gotta go.

00:16:17She's trying to make a dramatic exit.

00:16:23Rhea willing to help, but the queen couldn't be more direct.

00:16:36The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:16:40Introducing first, accompanied by Alexa Bliss, from the Queen City, Charlotte Flair!

00:16:53Charlotte Flair looking for some get-back, taking on J.C. Jain.

00:16:57And the force is a fatal influence, surely to have their presence felt.

00:16:59That's next on this power-packed edition of SmackDown.

00:17:04SmackDown!

00:17:06SmackDown!

00:17:10SmackDown!

00:17:11SmackDown!

00:17:12SmackDown!

00:17:13SmackDown!

00:17:15SmackDown!

00:17:16SmackDown!

00:17:21SmackDown!

00:17:35Hey, Wade is official!

00:17:37The self-described newest, hottest, most-prolific free agent to land on SmackDown, now has the match!

00:17:42Cody Rhodes WWE champ is taking on Ricky Saints live here tonight on SmackDown

00:17:49Thank You GM Nick Aldis give yourself a pay raise. Cody medically cleared for takeoff

00:18:04Company by Lady Reed and Pal and Henley from Jersey City, New Jersey

00:18:10Representing Tato Incluent, JCJ

00:18:20All right, cut the music, I got something to say

00:18:27Aw, thank you for that warm welcome. I expected nothing less from you losers in Oklahoma

00:18:38Now last week, you all got just a small taste of what Fatal Influence is bringing to Friday Night SmackDown

00:18:48And clearly, someone just couldn't get enough. But you know what, I love that, I thrive off that. Because if

00:18:58there's anything Fatal Influence loves to do, it's embarrassed a legend.

00:19:07Lainey, Fallon, and yours truly, JCJ

00:19:12Are gonna take out your precious little legends, one at a time

00:19:18And who better to start with, than with Charlotte Flair

00:19:32All right, I gotta tell you, right off the bat, Joe Tess, I absolutely love everything

00:19:37Do you really?

00:19:37About Fatal Influence

00:19:39Swaggering confidence of three ladies who know they are destined for the top

00:19:44Well, a large crowd here in Tulsa, Oklahoma seemingly doesn't, with that reception again, just like we heard down in

00:19:50DFW last week

00:19:51Bad taste

00:19:52Bad taste, a week ago, we showed you what happened when JC and her crew shockingly appeared in the midst

00:19:58of that tag team match

00:19:59Pulled Paige off the ring apron in the midst of that match with Charlotte and Alexa

00:20:02And then Fatal Influence attacked, a knee strike and a super kick to Charlotte included

00:20:06So here is Charlotte, really focused and hyped up for a little revenge

00:20:10Charlotte was really collateral damage in Fatal Influence, making a name for themselves last week

00:20:16And we all know Charlotte Flair, she's not gonna take that lying down, is she?

00:20:20Of course it was interesting to see the interaction with Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley earlier tonight

00:20:25Including last week, they both have a quote JC Jane issue after what happened

00:20:29But Charlotte so much history

00:20:31It's more than them, the entire roster has a JC Jane issue at this point

00:20:34Rhea offered up her help, Charlotte of course a history with Rhea, so much there, she cautiously dealt with her

00:20:40I know she fully entrusts her with something like that, so she took a pass on Rhea's offer earlier

00:20:46Who comes out of NXT and week one they fight Rhea Ripley, week two they fight Charlotte Flair, two of

00:20:52the greatest of all time

00:20:55How can you not admire JC Jane's confidence for stepping to these women and taking it to them?

00:21:04Maybe a little easy to have that confidence when you have Fatal Influence surrounding the ring

00:21:07As was the case against Rhea last week, losing via DQ

00:21:11Shows you how smart JC Jane is then

00:21:13Smart, Fallon Henley was interfering with the match, caused the DQ

00:21:15And we had that brawl afterwards

00:21:18And they teamed up and held up Rhea and hit her with the rolling encore

00:21:21I'll tell you right now, JC Jane has just been a step ahead of Charlotte Flair thus far

00:21:26However, the cast of Charlotte Flair coming to the full

00:21:30Look at the Queen, 14 time world champion

00:21:34Uh oh

00:21:37And Charlotte showing the skill and athleticism

00:21:42And here's part of the problem, you step up from NXT, there are levels to this

00:21:46And there is no level higher than that of Charlotte Flair

00:21:50Oh yeah!

00:21:53That's what it's about!

00:21:58Big kick up top, from the living legend

00:22:02Well JC Jane's been trying to best get into the head of Charlotte Flair

00:22:05It simply hasn't worked

00:22:06Queen going for it right away

00:22:08Jane kicks free

00:22:11Jane clearly did her homework

00:22:12Uh oh

00:22:15Well hello Alexa

00:22:36Charlotte Flair

00:22:37Charlotte Flair and JC Jane

00:22:38Our opening match here

00:22:39On Friday Night SmackDown

00:22:41From

00:22:41Tulsa, Oklahoma

00:22:42Hard to believe we're just eight days away

00:22:44From Backlash

00:22:46And that

00:22:46World Heavyweight Championship

00:22:48Between Jacob Batuu

00:22:49And Roman Reigns

00:22:52Seven days removed from JC Jane

00:22:55And Fatal Influence

00:22:56Making their debut on SmackDown

00:22:59And this is an interesting test now for JC Jane

00:23:01She's had it her own way thus far in the match

00:23:04But with

00:23:04Charlotte

00:23:05Suddenly

00:23:06Stepping up a nice

00:23:07Distraction there

00:23:08From Laney Reed

00:23:09On the outside behind

00:23:10The referee's back

00:23:11Could turn it back

00:23:12In JC Jane's favor

00:23:14Right across the throat

00:23:15Of Charlotte Flair

00:23:16But wait a second Joe Tess

00:23:18What's the issue here

00:23:18With Fatal Influence getting involved?

00:23:20As far as I'm aware

00:23:21Alexa Bliss got herself involved

00:23:23On the other side of the ring

00:23:24Just a few moments ago

00:23:25Alexa Bliss

00:23:26Is just neutrally being over there

00:23:28Seeing to things

00:23:29Meanwhile

00:23:30Laney Reed played a major role

00:23:32In what just happened moments ago

00:23:33And that cannonball

00:23:35What a strike from JC Jane

00:23:37As Charlotte able to get that shoulder up

00:23:39Yeah and I'll tell you right now

00:23:40A lot's been made of the attitude of JC Jane

00:23:42Some people don't like it

00:23:44You included

00:23:44That's right

00:23:45A lot of people have complained

00:23:46About the fact that Fatal Influence

00:23:48Have got involved in matches

00:23:49However the

00:23:50The pure athleticism of JC Jane

00:23:52Really is something to behold

00:23:54Slaving that knee straight up

00:23:56And slamming Charlotte down

00:23:58To the mat

00:23:59And I like this room

00:24:00JC Jane

00:24:01Fully aware of the caliber

00:24:02Of Charlotte Flair

00:24:04Not giving Charlotte Flair

00:24:05An inch

00:24:06No breathing room

00:24:07What so ever

00:24:10Stop gesticulating

00:24:11You're yelling at me

00:24:12You're trying to get yourself

00:24:13An autograph or something

00:24:15No autograph

00:24:15I'm trying to do my job

00:24:16I've got Fatal Influence here

00:24:17In my face

00:24:22God telling you again what they think of JC Jane

00:24:24Yeah well they're wrong

00:24:25Some very nasty things about JC Jane

00:24:28Because JC Jane

00:24:29Is currently winning

00:24:30This match

00:24:31Oh man

00:24:32Driving that elbow

00:24:33Right into the sternum

00:24:34Of Charlotte

00:24:35Hook in the leg

00:24:36We're going to put it away here

00:24:37I have noticed

00:24:38A real bias

00:24:39Starting to seep out of your pores

00:24:41Joe Tess

00:24:42Trying to counterbalance your bias

00:24:43No no no no no no

00:24:44I pull it down the middle

00:24:45Every single week

00:24:46Incredible

00:24:48Oh it's rodeo time Joe Tess

00:24:51I see that

00:24:53And it's a PBR

00:24:56Kick in the back

00:24:57JC Jane's been in complete control

00:25:20Former two time NXT Women's Champion

00:25:22JC Jane getting the best of Charlotte Flair right now

00:25:25As Flair tries to break free

00:25:27And ramming her into the corner there

00:25:29And let's not undersell

00:25:30Getting the best of Charlotte Flair

00:25:32That is nigh on mission impossible

00:25:34Even more so with somebody who's been competing in NXT

00:25:37And is only just stepping up

00:25:39To this very top tier

00:25:40It shows you how impressive JC Jane really is

00:25:43But how's about this?

00:25:44Oh look at the queen

00:25:45How about that?

00:25:48Freaky strength there from Charlotte Flair

00:25:50And that is the problem

00:25:51When you're up against Charlotte Flair

00:25:53You can never get too confident

00:25:55Because Charlotte Flair

00:25:56Always has something up her sleeve

00:25:58And this is a major turning point

00:26:00Of course the confidence of JC Jane

00:26:01Has been bubbling over

00:26:02Talking about revolutionizing the game

00:26:04And taking all the gold

00:26:06And having all these legends fall

00:26:07One by one

00:26:08Those Flair chops being delivered

00:26:11With a little extra sting

00:26:13Here in Tulsa

00:26:18And JC Jane

00:26:20Oh

00:26:21Is in a real real bad way right now

00:26:26Oh

00:26:27The walkover clothesline by Charlotte

00:26:30And this is the problem

00:26:31Charlotte Flair now

00:26:32Going through the gears

00:26:34And finally hitting top speed

00:26:36And JC Jane does not seem to have an answer

00:26:40Charlotte mounting a great comeback here

00:26:44Jane was in complete control

00:26:45But Flair has rallied back

00:26:47As she has done time and again

00:26:50Such great body control

00:26:51From Charlotte Flair

00:26:52Once again

00:26:53We should be used to it

00:26:54You simply never get used to this

00:26:56High cross body

00:26:57Oh

00:26:57Right through

00:27:00Smart instincts there

00:27:01From JC Jane

00:27:02Who is pulling herself back

00:27:04From the break

00:27:05Or is she?

00:27:05Big boot

00:27:06From Flair

00:27:08This one is turning into a real barn burner here

00:27:11But it once again

00:27:12Looks like Charlotte Flair

00:27:13With the upper hand

00:27:14And perhaps ready to close this thing off in style

00:27:18Stepping over as she's got her in the target zone

00:27:22Just where Flair likes it

00:27:28Here goes Charlotte

00:27:33And at the last possible second

00:27:35That left shoulder got up

00:27:36And that is a sign of major frustration

00:27:39In the face of Charlotte Flair

00:27:41Who perhaps did not know the depth of durability

00:27:45That JC Jane has

00:27:47Alan Laney looking on one side

00:27:49Alexa Bliss on the other side

00:27:51As Charlotte tries to maintain control here

00:27:53Chopped down from behind by JC Jane

00:27:55There's the knee that's taken

00:27:56Oh man

00:27:57That big knee

00:28:00And Flair survives it

00:28:02Palm knee right to the point of the jaw

00:28:05Take another look at this level of impact

00:28:08Dropping Charlotte Flair

00:28:10And almost scoring what would have to be

00:28:13A major shock win for JC Jane

00:28:15Oh she was looking for the rolling encore

00:28:17Instead Flair

00:28:18Able to get that big boot up

00:28:19And now she's going for it again

00:28:21Trying to lock it in

00:28:22Can she arch that figure eight leg lock up?

00:28:24Can she bridge it?

00:28:26And now it's panic stations

00:28:27For JC Jane

00:28:29There may be no escape from here

00:28:31Oh

00:28:33Valon

00:28:35Watch out Valon

00:28:36Oh Alexa delivers a big right hand

00:28:38Laney comes in with a massive knee of her own

00:28:42These are some heavy bombs getting dropped on the outside

00:28:45But look out

00:28:46Rolling encore

00:28:48Three

00:28:48Four

00:28:49One

00:28:50One

00:28:51Two

00:28:51Three

00:28:54Here is your winner

00:28:55JC Jane

00:28:57Well you don't have to like it Jotas

00:29:01But that was stunningly perfect cohesion

00:29:04From Fatal Influence

00:29:06And astoundingly

00:29:08JC Jane

00:29:09Has just beaten the multi-time world champ Charlotte Flair

00:29:14With great help from Valon and Laney

00:29:16Again

00:29:18And now what are they doing?

00:29:19All right

00:29:21Now it's mugging time

00:29:22Oh

00:29:22Alexa trying to get in there

00:29:24Now looking to show some fear and terror in the locker room

00:29:28Oh

00:29:29A nice attempt by Bliss

00:29:30And the numbers came just too strong

00:29:33Big strike to Alexa

00:29:34And now

00:29:36Two on one with Charlotte

00:29:38Fallon on top of Alexa

00:29:39Fatal Influence

00:29:40Fatal Influence

00:29:41Is all over the

00:29:42Wait a minute

00:29:49Mommy's here

00:29:53Rhea Ripley

00:29:55Suddenly the fear in the eyes of Fatal Influence

00:29:58Tells its own story

00:30:00Oh big headbutt from Rhea

00:30:05Rhea

00:30:05Looking for Riptide

00:30:06Reverse

00:30:07Nearly smashed right to Charlotte

00:30:12Offered her help earlier

00:30:21Extends the handshake of gratitude to Rhea Ripley

00:30:24Charlotte may not like it

00:30:25But we just saw proof positive that Rhea's help is clearly needed

00:30:29When it comes to dealing with this trio of Fatal Influence

00:30:34Fatal Influence already a major factor

00:30:37One week into their arrival on SmackDown

00:30:44Excuse me Brie, Paige

00:30:46If you don't mind I just wanted to get your reaction to the attack

00:30:49That you suffered at the hands of Fatal Influence last week

00:30:51As well as what we just witnessed

00:30:53I mean Byron to be honest

00:30:55We're impressed by Fatal Influence

00:30:57JC, Fallon and Delaney are making a name for themselves

00:31:00But sooner or later their actions will catch up to them

00:31:04Oh I absolutely agree

00:31:06And I will say you know

00:31:07I haven't been around for a while

00:31:08But what I do know is combat is very real

00:31:10And we will deal with them in due time

00:31:12But for right now

00:31:13We have to concentrate on two women

00:31:16Nia Jax and Lash Legend

00:31:18And walking out of Tulsa

00:31:20The Women's Tag Team Champions

00:31:23Speaking of which

00:31:24How do you plan to keep those titles and defeat the Irresistible Forces?

00:31:29I mean listen, Nia and Lash, they're strong, they're powerful, they're former champions

00:31:33But I believe with resilience and the experience we have

00:31:36We will get the job done

00:31:38Plus, she's back

00:31:40That's right baby, did you miss me Byron?

00:31:43We all missed you

00:31:45And SmackDown is our house

00:31:47Our house baby, let's go

00:31:49Take care Byron

00:31:50Bye

00:31:50Ladies, best of luck tonight

00:31:51Thank you

00:31:52Joe, Wade, back to you guys at ringside

00:31:54Thank you very much, Byron

00:31:55Great to have Paige back

00:31:55Interesting of the Women's Tag Team Championship run back on the heels of WrestleMania

00:31:59Yeah, I don't think anyone quite foresaw what Paige's life was going to look like these past two weeks

00:32:03But boy, oh boy, are we thrilled to have her back in a fourth break

00:32:06Meanwhile, with the men's division, the tag team champions, Damian Priest and R-Truth taking on all challengers

00:32:11Thanks to R-Truth's unique waist

00:32:13This was earlier today

00:32:16You got your eyes on everything, you know what I'm saying?

00:32:18He's just one, two, three

00:32:19What's up, DB?

00:32:21Nothing, man, you're talking to those Americanos, dawg

00:32:23Who's chopping it up over here

00:32:25Yeah, yeah, yeah, first of all

00:32:26I know what you were talking about, but that's not...

00:32:28Anyway, these are the type of guys I've been telling you about

00:32:31They deserve it

00:32:33For Axiom, I look forward to defending the tag titles against you guys tonight

00:32:37Huh?

00:32:38Actually, I don't know what we're talking about at all

00:32:40In fact, we're discussing

00:32:41But, but, but, we will absolutely take you up on that offer

00:32:45In fact, you don't even have to break a sweat

00:32:47We'll go talk to Nick, right now

00:32:48So, hey, Priest, you're the man, bro

00:32:50Hey, hold up, guys

00:32:52Hola!

00:32:54Doug, what are you doing?

00:32:55You're telling me that that's not what you were talking about

00:32:58No, we were talking about taxes

00:33:00Taxes?

00:33:01You're giving somebody advice on taxes?

00:33:03I'm the best

00:33:03It's no shot

00:33:04Remember, we can't just be giving anybody title shots

00:33:07I said that

00:33:08That's what I said

00:33:11Are you okay, BP?

00:33:14Doug, you gotta get your heavy game

00:33:15We got a match now

00:33:16I gotta get dressed

00:33:20Taxes?

00:33:22What?

00:33:23Poor Priest

00:33:24I mean, just when he assumes Truth is handing out in our title shot

00:33:27Nope, so what do you say we have one here?

00:33:28WWE Tag Team Championship match

00:33:31R-Truth and Damien Priest against Kraxian

00:33:34That'll be coming your way next, right here on SmackDown

00:33:37For the world, everybody comes to me

00:33:38No, no, no, no, no, no, I am

00:33:39I'm the big bitch, you're not the P.A.

00:33:41So, don't sign

00:33:44Everywhere I go, I hear the same thing

00:33:47But you want to be closer to this

00:33:51That's exactly why we built

00:33:54Club WWE

00:33:56This is everything WWE

00:33:58But closer to you

00:34:00In one

00:34:01Ultimate Membership

00:34:04Join the wheelers now

00:34:06And become the ultimate insider

00:34:12This August

00:34:15From the home of the Minnesota Vikings

00:34:20Two epic nights of WWE SummerSlam

00:34:23Welcome everyone

00:34:24To the biggest event of the summer

00:34:33Are you ready?

00:34:35SummerSlam

00:34:35On Saturday, August 1st

00:34:36And Sunday, August 2nd

00:34:41What Dan Houser wants

00:34:42He needs

00:34:43Free human monies

00:34:45But he disappears

00:34:46How can we catch him if he disappears?

00:34:48Because he sees the sign

00:34:49Opens the briefcase

00:34:51We temporarily blind him

00:34:52That's it, that's when we get him

00:34:54And jump him

00:34:54You really think this is gonna work?

00:34:55Trust me

00:34:57Come on, go

00:34:58Go, go, go

00:35:04Whoa!

00:35:06Free human monies?

00:35:08Ooh, I bet it's in briefcase

00:35:10Whoa!

00:35:12This is great

00:35:13$400

00:35:15I can buy so much things with this

00:35:21Didn't work

00:35:22It's so odd

00:35:23He just walked off with

00:35:25$40,000 of my money

00:35:26But it should've worked

00:35:27What do you mean he's holding your

00:35:28Looney Toots contractions

00:35:29Didn't work?

00:35:29It should've worked

00:35:30Oh yeah, it should've worked, so stupid

00:35:38It worked

00:35:41Idiot!

00:35:43I'm so sick of this!

00:35:44Ah!

00:35:48Ah!

00:35:52They need to get rid of Dan Housen

00:35:54Immediately

00:35:55He's a pest

00:35:56$400

00:35:56He's picking up the bar tab

00:35:58$400

00:35:59$40,000

00:36:00Right, I couldn't even do that

00:36:00I think it was $40,000

00:36:02Joe Tex

00:36:03Oh, for the whole year

00:36:03He's picking up the tab

00:36:04Oh!

00:36:04Oh my goodness

00:36:08Go rise

00:36:12Van Gaat

00:36:13Oh my goodness

00:36:22Go rise

00:36:24Van Gaat

00:36:26Van Gaat

00:36:27Van Gaat

00:36:28The WWE Tag Team Championship

00:36:29Introducing first

00:36:31With a combined weight of

00:36:34469 pounds

00:36:35They are

00:36:36The WWE Tag Team Champions

00:36:40Damien Priest

00:36:40And our

00:36:42Crew!

00:36:43And Wade, I think they're coming off

00:36:45Their most impressive outing

00:36:46With a rematch of toppling the MFT

00:36:48I would agree with that

00:36:49But that outing in the locker room

00:36:51Just then was far from impressive

00:36:53Because Damien Priest

00:36:54Has just handed a

00:36:55Freebeat title shot

00:36:56To Fraxion

00:36:57There's been some confusion

00:36:59Lately as to how they're coming up

00:37:01That's the all truth effect

00:37:01Title shot

00:37:02So Priest just made the assumption

00:37:03But it definitely was the

00:37:04The wrong route

00:37:19Well you mentioned the confusion backstage

00:37:21Fraxion jumped right on it

00:37:23And thus

00:37:24Here they are

00:37:26To be clear

00:37:27R-Truth

00:37:28Thinks these two are

00:37:29Dose Americanos

00:37:35And their opponents

00:37:36The team of

00:37:38Axion

00:37:39And Nathan

00:37:39Prazer

00:37:40Praxion

00:37:42Should we get Nathan a mask?

00:37:44Do you have one handy?

00:37:44But here's the deal?

00:37:45But here's the deal

00:37:46This is why you don't tag with R-Truth

00:37:48I hope Damien Priest

00:37:49I hope Damien Priest

00:37:49No, the insanity

00:37:50They got gold

00:37:51The insanity is contagious

00:37:53That's the problem

00:37:54They do have gold

00:37:55But we're giving away free title shots

00:37:57They're not going to hold it for much longer

00:37:58Now of course

00:37:59Now of course

00:38:00Frazer and Axiom are always at the ready

00:38:01Always capable of pushing anybody to the limit

00:38:04And Wade

00:38:05They could have very well been in position to earn the number one contender's shot that R-Truth and Damien

00:38:12Priest ended up getting when they won the tag team turmoil

00:38:14And thus went on to win those prized possessions

00:38:18The WWE tag team title championship match here

00:38:22Remember, when we had that number one contender's gauntlet style match

00:38:27The tag team turmoil back in March

00:38:28It was Axiom and Frazer who drew that first position

00:38:33So they won in advance

00:38:34But then, I mean it's a tough road to try to get all the way through it

00:38:37They were ousted by Los Garza

00:38:39It's like

00:38:39What the?

00:38:41It's like being number one in the Royal Rumble

00:38:43It's pretty much the worst possible spot

00:38:45And they gave it a hell of a run

00:38:47But you're right

00:38:47They've over the past 12 months

00:38:50Come within a

00:38:50Okay, clean break

00:38:52Clean break

00:38:53Clean break

00:38:54Clean break

00:38:55Clean break

00:38:56Clean break

00:38:56No!

00:38:57Come within a head's breadth of winning tag gold

00:39:00But agonizingly fell short several times

00:39:02And now really is the time for Fraxium to step up and get back to the kind of gold they

00:39:07were winning in NXT

00:39:09Great opportunity here that they didn't see coming

00:39:11But they jumped on it right away

00:39:14Oh

00:39:15That's it man

00:39:16It's heat fast

00:39:17You forget how fast he is until you see him hit a gear like that

00:39:19Solid quick tag there too

00:39:21And Nathan Frazer is not going to slow things down whatsoever

00:39:24Now R-Truth ready for that teamwork

00:39:26Well scouted by R-Truth

00:39:28And now here comes Damian Priest

00:39:34You got to feel that Priest has to have a sense of purpose with the position he put them in

00:39:39tonight

00:39:40Of opening up his mouth making the assumption and thus the title match

00:39:43It's an easy assumption to make when you hang around with R-Truth for too long

00:39:47He's probably sooner or later going to do something pretty damn stupid

00:39:51Look at Nathan Frazer

00:39:53Tagging out against Damian Priest is certainly not stupid

00:39:55That will get the hell out of Damian Priest's way

00:39:57Especially those long arms and huge strikes of his

00:40:01I mean he just sent Frazer about two-thirds across the ring

00:40:05With that exaggeration twice the size of his two opponents here

00:40:09Wow

00:40:09And one shot like that will take a cruiserweight like Axiom down in a hurry

00:40:14Did it ever

00:40:15Now in position

00:40:16Oh he's looking for Razor Edge but what a great counter by Axiom

00:40:21Crazy levels of agility from the Spaniard

00:40:24And now R-Truth is in a whole world of trouble here

00:40:26And now this is the teamwork that you say from Frazer and Axiom time and again

00:40:32In stereo

00:40:34Here they go

00:40:36Smart from the veterans R-Truth and Damian Priest in a title defense here in Tulsa

00:41:00The styles make fights in completely different styles here with Damian Priest and R-Truth defending against Fraxium

00:41:06So here's where it's starting to show the lack of chemistry between Priest and R-Truth

00:41:12They've got by over the past several weeks with some fantastic wins

00:41:15But the true chemistry in this match is clearly with Fraxium

00:41:18You know you keep saying that with your analysis time and again

00:41:21And yet the results keep proving that seemingly they make a good tag team win

00:41:25No doubt about it two individuals can make a good tag team as we see from these two

00:41:30Eventually for me it's gonna start crumbling

00:41:32R-Truth looking to retain right there but plenty left in the tank of Axiom

00:41:37I mean look at R-Truth and look at Damian Priest their facial expressions

00:41:41They are constantly frowning befuddled with one another unsurprisingly so

00:41:46Clearly not on the same page but somehow able to pull wins out the back

00:41:50Now admits the competition giving everything they have

00:41:53Now that is teamwork

00:41:55Look at this!

00:41:56Right into the DDT

00:41:58And hooking a leg looking to have new champs here

00:42:00Yeah and that's part of the problem with Fraxium

00:42:02They move so quick it is impossible to figure out reversals or even blocks

00:42:06Right

00:42:06For so much of their offense

00:42:08By the time you see it coming you're already hitting the mat

00:42:10R-Truth! R-Truth! R-Truth! R-Truth! R-Truth!

00:42:21But these two young up-and-comers Fraxium know they are very very close to gold here

00:42:26And R-Truth is struggling in a major way

00:42:28But they can turn up the dial here on the veteran

00:42:31They could inch ever closer

00:42:38Oh, drop kick from Axiom such height he gets

00:42:41One, two, three

00:42:44Oh the slack cover there from Axiom

00:42:46There was

00:42:47You can actually believe he was gonna get the win

00:42:49But certainly taking some energy away from R-Truth with that pin cover

00:42:52And immediately back grinding away

00:42:55And R-Truth is hurting in a big way here

00:42:58And Damian Priest needs this tag

00:42:59R-Truth trying to get to his feet

00:43:06Feeding off this crowd

00:43:08And a big elbow has him breaking free

00:43:11Axiom follows up

00:43:14Big kick from Nathan Frazer

00:43:19What timing

00:43:20In stereo kicks

00:43:22And that close to having new champs

00:43:26And immediately cutting off the ring

00:43:28Dragging the carcass of R-Truth

00:43:30Back towards their corner

00:43:31And crucially

00:43:32Away

00:43:33From Damian Priest

00:43:46WWE Tag Team Championship match

00:43:48Here in Tulsa, Oklahoma

00:43:49Damian Priest and R-Truth

00:43:52Looking to defend

00:43:52Against Fraxium

00:43:53Last week they defeated

00:43:55MFG

00:43:55In Championship Green

00:43:56He's hitting a rise up

00:43:57For the pinfall

00:43:58Right now

00:43:59This crowd here in Tulsa

00:44:00Is hoping that R-Truth can rise up

00:44:02It has been

00:44:03A sustained attack

00:44:05From Frazer and Axiom

00:44:06But here comes Priest

00:44:10At the moment the big man

00:44:12The big man has been waiting for

00:44:13Isolated on the outside for too long

00:44:15Oh a two for one

00:44:17Oh a two for one

00:44:18Double back drops

00:44:19And it's just that easy

00:44:21For the powerhouse

00:44:22Damian Priest

00:44:23Who is now delivering

00:44:24Maximum punishment

00:44:25Now remember it was

00:44:26Damian Priest who put them

00:44:27In this position tonight

00:44:28Unexpectedly

00:44:29He thought R-Truth was

00:44:30Mistakenly assuming

00:44:31An offered title shot

00:44:32To Fraxium

00:44:33He spoke up

00:44:33Next thing you know

00:44:35Championship match

00:44:36R-Truth

00:44:37In a big way

00:44:38On the outside

00:44:39The former world

00:44:40Heavyweight champ

00:44:41May have to win this one

00:44:42On his own

00:44:44Frazer and Axiom

00:44:45Gotten the best of R-Truth

00:44:47But Priest

00:44:47Is making the most

00:44:48Of his opportunity

00:44:50Heels overhead

00:44:51One way

00:44:54Oh and Frazer

00:44:56Denies the south of heaven

00:44:58And here comes

00:44:59A freshened up R-Truth

00:45:02The running shoulder blocks

00:45:07And he's got him

00:45:09Where he wants him

00:45:10Say it with him Tulsa

00:45:18Little five knuckle truth to it

00:45:21Ron Cena doing his thing

00:45:23Right here in Oklahoma

00:45:25Can he put it away

00:45:27And went up

00:45:27Oh meanwhile

00:45:28Chaos on the outside

00:45:30As Priest

00:45:31Looking for a quick one

00:45:32Right here

00:45:33R-Truth survives it

00:45:35Little Hail Mary

00:45:35Getting thrown there

00:45:36By Fraxium

00:45:37And it seems to be working

00:45:40Now to the outside

00:45:43Here they go

00:45:45Frazer

00:45:46Axiom

00:45:47Back and forth

00:45:49Major burst of speed

00:45:50Major burst of speed

00:45:50But you cannot win this thing

00:45:51On the outside

00:45:52Oh man

00:45:53Nathan Frazer

00:45:54Right through the Oklahoma sky

00:45:56Absolute kamikaze

00:45:58Attacks here

00:46:00From these fast paced

00:46:01High flying youngsters

00:46:03With everything

00:46:04On the line

00:46:05Raxiom

00:46:06Giving everything

00:46:07They can

00:46:08To Damian Priest

00:46:09And R-Truth

00:46:13Now's the moment

00:46:15That Damian Priest

00:46:16Could majorly

00:46:17Regret his mistake earlier

00:46:18Catapult a infernal

00:46:20One

00:46:21Two

00:46:22One

00:46:22Oh and Priest

00:46:23Knocks Frazer

00:46:25Right through

00:46:26To make the save

00:46:27A little human

00:46:28Skittles

00:46:29With his smaller opponents

00:46:30And things may have just changed

00:46:32For Damian Priest

00:46:33Oh look at this

00:46:34Priest is literally

00:46:35Dragging Truth

00:46:36Over for the tag

00:46:37And saying

00:46:38It is time for me

00:46:39To take control

00:46:41See ya Axiom

00:46:43See ya Axiom

00:46:43With his own hands

00:46:48Target

00:46:48Foul

00:46:51South of heaven

00:46:52Nearly scraping

00:46:53The ceiling

00:46:54Here at box center

00:46:57Well pick your victim

00:46:59Damian Priest

00:47:01In the blink of an eye

00:47:02Turning this one around

00:47:04He might be about to score

00:47:06A major victory

00:47:07One

00:47:08One

00:47:08Man

00:47:09Show

00:47:09Razor's edge

00:47:14Here are your winners

00:47:16And still

00:47:17WWE

00:47:1810

00:47:19Team

00:47:20Champions

00:47:20R-Truth

00:47:22And

00:47:23Damian Priest

00:47:24Priest

00:47:24They always find a way

00:47:26They always find a way

00:47:28They always find a way

00:47:29They made hard work of it

00:47:30This week

00:47:31Albeit in a match

00:47:32Jeez

00:47:32That is the highest

00:47:33South of heaven

00:47:35I have ever seen

00:47:36Poor Nathan Frazer

00:47:37And it wasn't much better

00:47:38For Axiom either

00:47:40Hell of a fight

00:47:41From those two

00:47:42For the pure power

00:47:44And attitude

00:47:45Of Damian Priest

00:47:46Uh oh

00:47:47Wait up

00:47:47Uh oh

00:47:48Tolotonga's in the center of the ring

00:47:50Clearing house

00:47:51And Solo Sokoa in toe 2

00:47:54Oh!

00:47:54We saw the MFTs get taken out last week

00:47:57By Jacob Fatu

00:47:58Albeit

00:47:59Sands

00:48:00Talotonga

00:48:01And now the nearly 7 foot right hand man

00:48:05To Solo Sokoa

00:48:07With a double choke slams

00:48:08As he's just calling out orders

00:48:13Oh no

00:48:15Priest 2

00:48:18Right on that championship

00:48:22For heavily exhausted

00:48:24And beaten up bodies

00:48:26Further devastated

00:48:27By the massive

00:48:28Talotonga

00:48:30Well looks like Solo Sokoa

00:48:33Has something to say next

00:48:34Don't go anywhere

00:48:40Great night here

00:48:42Smackdown in Tulsa

00:48:43Just 8 days away

00:48:44To Backlash

00:48:45Jacob Fatu

00:48:45And Roman Reigns

00:48:46We've already had a lot of action here tonight

00:48:48JC Jane

00:48:48Defeating Charlotte Flair

00:48:50And Priest and Truth

00:48:50Just defended the tag team championship

00:48:53And then moments ago

00:48:54Here's what happened afterwards

00:48:55This is the aftermath

00:48:58Talotonga

00:48:59Arriving

00:48:59And sowing

00:49:00Major carnage

00:49:01Against 4 beat up opponents

00:49:04R-Truth just getting turfed out

00:49:06Like a piece of garbage

00:49:07Now Solo Sokoa

00:49:08Directing some traffic in there

00:49:10Barking out orders

00:49:11Orders that Talotonga

00:49:13Was only too happy

00:49:15To execute

00:49:15With that

00:49:16Double chokeslam

00:49:17And perhaps

00:49:18Saving the best

00:49:19For last

00:49:20Against the massive

00:49:21Damian Priest

00:49:22Well here's a

00:49:23Massive chokeslam

00:49:24For that frame

00:49:25And see what they have to say now

00:49:42Last week on Smackdown

00:49:46Jacob made a big big mistake

00:49:52Take it back to last week

00:49:54Throwing down against

00:49:55Jacob Batuu

00:49:57Solo Sokoa

00:49:58But a relentless Batuu

00:49:59Pulled off the win

00:50:00In some style

00:50:02Unfortunately for him

00:50:04Post-match

00:50:05The MFT's attempted to attack

00:50:08Batuu decided to return fire in his own way

00:50:12Dropping every MFT

00:50:14With a succession of increasingly devastating attacks

00:50:20Perhaps causing some major damage

00:50:22But culminating in this splash

00:50:24Through our announce table

00:50:26As the Usos locked on

00:50:28Ready to report back to Roman Reigns

00:50:32Batuu

00:50:37Batuu

00:50:38Batuu

00:50:39Batuu

00:50:40Batuu

00:50:41Batuu

00:50:41Even though Jacob

00:50:43Took out my army

00:50:47He took out his family

00:50:52His family

00:50:53Is my family

00:50:56His brothers

00:50:58Is my brothers

00:50:59His blood

00:51:00His blood

00:51:01Is my blood

00:51:01The ones that he love

00:51:03Is the ones

00:51:04I'm supposed to protect

00:51:05But they're not standing right here

00:51:06Right now

00:51:07Because of you Jacob

00:51:13So Jacob

00:51:16When your ass get to this building

00:51:19You are

00:51:20A dead

00:51:21Man

00:51:22Walking

00:51:30Speaking of his blood

00:51:31Can't help him

00:51:34And you and me

00:51:36May or me

00:51:37You and me

00:51:38fun

00:51:38May or me

00:51:40You and me

00:51:41Fell

00:51:41May or me

00:51:43Get my mother

00:51:44Let me

00:51:56Jay and Jimmy on time

00:52:01How about you Joe Tess

00:52:03I'm not anticipating much brotherly love

00:52:06No

00:52:08No bro solo

00:52:10Far from popular with the Usos

00:52:25The Usos are now in your city

00:52:33Hey, hey, hey, we get it little brother

00:52:37Listen, we understand

00:52:39You got an issue with the Samoan werewolf

00:52:42Jacob 5'2

00:52:44But you got to understand

00:52:45You ain't the only one that got an issue with him

00:52:48The OTC

00:52:49Roman Reigns

00:52:53Got some big, big, big

00:52:55Problem with him too

00:52:58And the mistake Jacob made

00:53:00It's not when he took out your little family tree

00:53:03The mistake he made was on Monday

00:53:05When he put his hands on the tribal chief

00:53:14Not only did he put his hands on the tribal chief

00:53:17He used a tongue and death grip

00:53:20That's a sacred move

00:53:23That move is handed down

00:53:24Taught generation to generation

00:53:26Your dad used that move

00:53:28That move is last resort

00:53:34Jacob is on last resort

00:53:36That means the OTC is too

00:53:39So whatever plans you and your little family got tonight

00:53:42Get a hold of Jacob's

00:53:43That's got to hold up

00:53:46Until tribal chief is done with him

00:53:49Yeet

00:53:55Guys

00:53:56There's plenty of Jacob to go around for all of us

00:53:59So low

00:54:02We're not asking you

00:54:06We're telling you

00:54:21Bro

00:54:22Listen

00:54:23I don't got time for this

00:54:25Alright

00:54:27Let's go

00:54:36Oh

00:54:37One little nod of the head

00:54:38And Tom Otonga activates

00:54:44What a force Tom Otonga is

00:54:47Made it look so easy

00:54:49To just look at the wreckage at his feet

00:54:52You tell Roman Reigns

00:54:56That he ain't my tribal chief

00:54:59What he says

00:55:02We don't give a damn

00:55:05So whether Roman likes it or not

00:55:09Jacob

00:55:11Is a dead man

00:55:13He ain't my tribal chief

00:55:15Massive statement by Solo Sokoa

00:55:18And a heavy handed delivery

00:55:20From Tala Tonga

00:55:31Hey man I'm glad I bumped into you

00:55:33I heard what you said last week

00:55:35Did you really call me sarcastic

00:55:37And condescending

00:55:39Yes

00:55:39What

00:55:40Because I called you golden boy

00:55:42Cody Cody that

00:55:43Hey that's not an insult

00:55:45Cody that's a compliment

00:55:46That's what you want

00:55:47You wanted to be the golden boy

00:55:59Wrestlemania

00:56:00Cody come on man

00:56:02Look I'm tired of these

00:56:03Misunderstandings between us

00:56:05We got to stick together man

00:56:06How far back do we go

00:56:08Not only that

00:56:09But I feel like we're the last

00:56:10Of the dying breed

00:56:11Cody

00:56:28We're not the same

00:56:34Well as for Cody

00:56:35He has business right

00:56:37In front of him

00:56:37That time of the year

00:56:38When some fresh faces

00:56:39Arrive at Smackdown

00:56:39And one of them

00:56:40Has stepped to a place

00:56:41Do you do

00:56:42Ricky Saints

00:57:50A big fight

00:57:57Hey as you know

00:57:58It's NBA postseason time

00:57:59Right

00:58:00We can't help but notice

00:58:01The role that WWE

00:58:02Is playing in at all

00:58:03From Dan Housen

00:58:04Uncursing the Knicks

00:58:05They won

00:58:06They advanced

00:58:07To the New York Knicks

00:58:08Star Jalen Brunson's

00:58:09Post game comments

00:58:09Last night

00:58:12What did you think

00:58:13Of Roman winning

00:58:14At Mania

00:58:16And the Bloodline

00:58:16Getting back together

00:58:17See these are the

00:58:19Questions I want

00:58:19To ask

00:58:20I want to ask

00:58:21Very excited

00:58:22Very excited

00:58:23I have a handshake

00:58:24With one of our

00:58:25Trainers

00:58:40Uncursed them

00:59:47From Atlanta, Georgia

00:59:48Playing in at 222 pounds

00:59:51He is

00:59:52The undisputed

00:59:54WWE Champion

00:59:56The American Nightmare

00:59:58Cody Rhodes

01:00:01And Wade

01:00:02You mentioned it earlier

01:00:03We're just short of two weeks

01:00:05From absorbing

01:00:05That extraordinary damage

01:00:07That you see to the left eye

01:00:08In that fearless defense

01:00:10Of the undisputed championship

01:00:14Yeah and you can get yourself medically cleared

01:00:17Yeah and you can get yourself medically cleared

01:00:17That's one thing

01:00:18But clearly not 100%

01:00:21Is that left eye

01:00:23Of Cody Rhodes

01:00:24After it sustained major damage

01:00:26In that punt attack post-match at Wrestlemania

01:00:28From Randy Orton

01:00:36But perhaps nobody in the history of this game

01:00:39Has led from the very front

01:00:41Quite like QB1

01:00:43Cody Rhodes

01:00:45A fighting champion

01:00:47Through and through

01:00:48A man who proudly puts his body on the line

01:00:51For the people

01:00:52Week in

01:00:53Week out

01:00:54And I'll be honest with you

01:00:55Joe Test

01:00:56Nobody would have blamed

01:00:57Cody Rhodes

01:00:58For taking a month off

01:01:00After Wrestlemania

01:01:01Sitting on a beach

01:01:02And probably recovering

01:01:03But Cody just ain't built that way

01:01:06No he's not

01:01:07This is the revolution

01:01:25And here's the ball

01:01:27From New Orleans

01:01:28Louisiana

01:01:28Playing in at 210 pounds

01:01:31Ricky Saints

01:01:34The former NXT champion

01:01:37Absolute Ricky Saints

01:01:39The Crescent City Charmer

01:01:41And Wade earlier

01:01:42We connected with Ricky

01:01:43We asked him

01:01:43Hey what does this move to Smackdown

01:01:44And this roster mean

01:01:45He said it means

01:01:46Some guys that have been real comfortable

01:01:48Probably shouldn't be comfortable anymore

01:01:51Well clearly Ricky Saints

01:01:54Thinks very highly of himself

01:01:55And to be honest with you Joe Test

01:01:57I sense a little disdain for the arrogance

01:02:00In your voice there

01:02:01I don't blame Ricky Saints

01:02:03For thinking highly of himself

01:02:05And one Ricky Saints appearance

01:02:07Here on Smackdown

01:02:08And you'll probably agree

01:02:10That this man is destined

01:02:12For the very top

01:02:13Main-evented NXT stand and deliver this past April

01:02:17This is somebody who is built for the big time

01:02:21Charisma in spades

01:02:22And Cody Rhodes has a real fight on his hands here

01:02:25Newcomer or not

01:02:26You're challenging my analysis and position on a guy

01:02:29Who called himself the hottest

01:02:31Most prolific free agent

01:02:33To join Smackdown

01:02:35Well a shake of the hands

01:02:37And then right into it

01:02:37Cody is back

01:02:39Cody who said earlier

01:02:40After two weeks

01:02:41He's not on the sidelines anymore

01:02:43He's ready to get back to the field

01:02:44And return to being QB1

01:02:47Well not looking like QB1

01:02:49It looks like

01:02:50Ricky Saints

01:02:51Just has the beating of Cody Rhodes

01:02:54In the early goings here

01:02:57Rather smooth start there

01:02:59From Mr. Saints

01:03:00Got that certain

01:03:03Charismatic firecracker approach

01:03:04To making friends

01:03:06And influencing people here

01:03:07On Smackdown

01:03:08Ricky Saints likes himself

01:03:09On Ricky Saints

01:03:11Well he believes he's already

01:03:12The top dog on this roster

01:03:13Regardless of everyone else's resumes

01:03:15And it's up to people like Cody Rhodes

01:03:18To prove him otherwise

01:03:19If they can

01:03:20Vertical delay suplex

01:03:22Deny

01:03:23Cody switches on him

01:03:24And sends him into the corner

01:03:27See the reflexes

01:03:28And speed of Saints

01:03:29But just the power

01:03:30And fight

01:03:31In Rhodes

01:03:32Yeah there was a lot of anger

01:03:33In that shot from Cody Rhodes

01:03:34That had been building up

01:03:35Presumably

01:03:37Since immediately after

01:03:39Wrestlemania

01:03:39Cody's got a little something

01:03:41To work out of his system

01:03:42Here tonight

01:03:42But Ricky Saints

01:03:44Clearly stepping up

01:03:45To the plate

01:03:45A fast pace

01:03:47Early on here

01:03:50Ricky Saints

01:03:52Debut on Smackdown

01:04:11The undisputed WWE champion

01:04:13Cody Rhodes

01:04:14Non-title match here

01:04:15Against Ricky Saints

01:04:17Who made his debut earlier tonight

01:04:19On Smackdown

01:04:20Was pointed

01:04:21Picked up that microphone

01:04:22And let it be known

01:04:23His intentions

01:04:24So I'll tell you right now

01:04:25That was a rare

01:04:26Cold start

01:04:27From Cody Rhodes

01:04:28And you've got to put things

01:04:29In perspective here

01:04:30Cody Rhodes' last match

01:04:32Two weeks ago

01:04:32The main event

01:04:34Of Wrestlemania

01:04:35Saturday

01:04:36Against the Viper

01:04:37Randy Orton

01:04:37Gold on the line

01:04:38Today he's stepping in there

01:04:40With presumably

01:04:41Somebody

01:04:42Who he thinks

01:04:43It will be an easier

01:04:44Task to beat

01:04:45Was Cody really

01:04:46In game mode

01:04:47Coming into this one

01:04:48Perhaps not

01:04:48And it showed

01:04:49In the early going

01:04:50You simply

01:04:51Can't be that

01:04:52Against somebody

01:04:52As talented

01:04:53As Ricky Saints

01:04:58Saints showing

01:04:59What he's about

01:05:00Right now

01:05:00Boy landing that

01:05:01Body flow

01:05:01With that right hand

01:05:02Sends him right

01:05:03To the quarter

01:05:04Goes back to working

01:05:05On the wrist

01:05:05And then a forearm

01:05:06Up top

01:05:06And a forearm

01:05:07To the back

01:05:07Well this is the

01:05:08Wrestlemania main event

01:05:09For Ricky Saints

01:05:10In his career

01:05:11Somebody's come out

01:05:12Of the block top

01:05:13And he's going to show

01:05:14Planet Earth

01:05:14Exactly how good he is

01:05:16And he's done just that

01:05:17In the early goings

01:05:20Putting Cody away

01:05:21Might be a different

01:05:22Matter entirely

01:05:25All right

01:05:26To the cover

01:05:29And you're starting

01:05:30To realize

01:05:31If you're not that

01:05:32Familiar with Ricky Saints

01:05:33Exactly why

01:05:34This guy

01:05:35Backs himself

01:05:36Over anybody else

01:05:38He's currently in there

01:05:39With the best

01:05:39On the planet

01:05:40Cody Rhodes

01:05:40And schooling Cody

01:05:43At his own game

01:05:44Right here

01:05:44In the house

01:05:45That Cody built

01:05:46For those who aren't

01:05:47Completely familiar

01:05:48With him

01:05:49Your quick scouting

01:05:50Report

01:05:52Well Ricky Saints

01:05:53Is somebody

01:05:54Who has been

01:05:55Rumored to be

01:05:56Heading to the

01:05:56Very top here

01:05:57In WWE

01:05:58For the past

01:05:58Couple of years

01:05:59The second

01:06:00He arrived in

01:06:01NXT

01:06:01He blew minds

01:06:03With his ability

01:06:03Got himself

01:06:04Straight to the top

01:06:05Became the face

01:06:07On that brand

01:06:08And it will not

01:06:09Be a shock

01:06:10To me

01:06:10That within

01:06:11The next

01:06:11Two or three months

01:06:12We're talking

01:06:13About main event

01:06:13Caliber

01:06:14Ricky Saints

01:06:15Trying to work

01:06:16That neck

01:06:17Of Cody

01:06:17And Cody

01:06:18Powers up

01:06:18And fights his way

01:06:20Three just for a moment

01:06:21Before he slammed down

01:06:23I mean

01:06:24Tell it like it is

01:06:25Ricky Saints

01:06:25Is eating

01:06:26Cody Rhodes

01:06:27Alive at this point

01:06:28In the match

01:06:31And I say that

01:06:32With all due respect

01:06:32To the champ

01:06:33And of course

01:06:34The fact that he may

01:06:35Well not be

01:06:35Quite at 100%

01:06:37But Ricky Saints

01:06:38Is doing the thing

01:06:39Here

01:06:40In Oklahoma

01:06:56Joe and Wade

01:06:57Here in Tulsa

01:06:57For Friday night

01:06:58Smackdown

01:06:58This is the

01:06:59Smackdown

01:07:00Debut

01:07:00Overall main

01:07:01Roster

01:07:01WWE

01:07:02Debut

01:07:03Of Ricky

01:07:03Saints

01:07:04Who earlier

01:07:05Tonight

01:07:05Really announced

01:07:06Himself

01:07:06Cody Rhodes

01:07:07Came out

01:07:07Said

01:07:07I'm medically

01:07:08Cleared

01:07:09I'm easy

01:07:09To find

01:07:10I'm hard

01:07:10To beat

01:07:10This non-title

01:07:11Match

01:07:12We're going

01:07:12Back and forth

01:07:13Why not shoot

01:07:14For the moon

01:07:14On day one

01:07:15If you believe

01:07:16You are good enough

01:07:16And from the evidence

01:07:17We're seeing

01:07:18In this match

01:07:18Ricky Saints

01:07:19Certainly is good enough

01:07:20Although this is the depth

01:07:22To which Cody

01:07:23Can dig

01:07:24When he needs to

01:07:25Make no mistake

01:07:26He's having two tonight

01:07:27And that was a shot

01:07:27Right on the eye

01:07:28That was a really smart move

01:07:29By Ricky Saints

01:07:30Just when Cody

01:07:32Looked like he was getting

01:07:33A foothold in the match

01:07:34Of course Rhodes

01:07:34First match

01:07:35Since beating

01:07:35Randy Orton

01:07:36At Wrestlemania

01:07:36But that left eye

01:07:37Was damaged

01:07:38After that match

01:07:39At Wrestlemania

01:07:41Our NXT champion

01:07:42Was targeting it

01:07:43Suddenly Ricky Saints

01:07:44Is directly targeting

01:07:45That left eye of Cody

01:07:46And Cody's in big trouble here

01:07:48See Cody reaching

01:07:49For that left eye weight

01:07:50If it wasn't bothering

01:07:51Him beforehand

01:07:52It certainly is now

01:07:53And this is what

01:07:53We're talking about

01:07:54Medically clear

01:07:55Does not mean 100%

01:07:56Medically clear

01:07:57Can mean 70%

01:07:59I don't know how good

01:07:59The vision is

01:08:00But certainly

01:08:00It is incredibly painful

01:08:02Right now

01:08:03For the WWE champ

01:08:04And that was the big news

01:08:06That was delivered

01:08:06By Cody personally

01:08:07To this crowd here

01:08:08In Tulsa

01:08:09To a massive roar

01:08:10Earlier tonight

01:08:11That he's medically cleared

01:08:12And he was up for a fight

01:08:13So when Ricky Saints

01:08:14Came out

01:08:15And stood right

01:08:16In front of him

01:08:17Cody was more than welcome

01:08:19Oh he's going old school

01:08:20And he's feeling it

01:08:22With all that swag

01:08:23And personality

01:08:24Ricky Saints

01:08:26Tiptoes on the top rope

01:08:29Absolute Ricky Saints

01:08:30That is why the spotlight

01:08:32Loves this

01:08:32Oh

01:08:34Cody

01:08:34That snap

01:08:35Scoop

01:08:36Power slam

01:08:37And you can see Cody

01:08:38Finding it again

01:08:41The worst thing you can do

01:08:42Against Cody Rhodes

01:08:43Start mentally

01:08:44Writing the guy off

01:08:45How many times

01:08:46Have we seen Cody

01:08:48Dig himself out of trouble

01:08:50A disaster kick

01:08:51And a wipe of that

01:08:52Damaged left eye

01:08:54He's got that look

01:08:54In his eye now

01:08:55Cody Cutter

01:09:00The undisputed champ

01:09:02Showing everything

01:09:03That's within him

01:09:04And this is why Cody Rhodes

01:09:06Is the best

01:09:08Bar none

01:09:10Saints

01:09:10Trying to rally

01:09:11To his feet

01:09:12But Rhodes has been

01:09:14Getting the best of him

01:09:16Oh

01:09:17What a reversal

01:09:18By Ricky Saints

01:09:20Oh jeez

01:09:20Saints

01:09:22Hooks the leg

01:09:23Cody gets that

01:09:24Left shoulder up

01:09:24Man so much

01:09:25Talk and impact

01:09:26On that landing there

01:09:28But Cody Rhodes

01:09:29Take another look

01:09:29At this

01:09:30Cody Cutter

01:09:31Executed to perfection

01:09:33Ready to Ricky

01:09:34Kick down

01:09:35Here's Ricky's turn

01:09:36To throw some offense

01:09:37Back at QB1

01:09:39Of course Cody Rhodes

01:09:40Now really having

01:09:41To dig deep

01:09:43Here are the massive crowd

01:09:45Channing Cody

01:09:46Cody

01:09:47Shoulders down

01:09:50Cody reverses it

01:09:52Back and forth they go

01:09:53We do know each other

01:09:55Very well

01:09:55Know each other's moves

01:09:56Very well too

01:09:58Revolution DDT

01:09:59By Ricky Saints

01:10:01And Cody survives it

01:10:03Yeah Cody survives

01:10:04By the skin

01:10:05Of his teeth

01:10:06And Ricky Saints

01:10:07With the wind

01:10:08In his sails

01:10:09After this

01:10:10Revolution DDT

01:10:11It really is

01:10:13His to win now

01:10:15Ricky Saints

01:10:17Oh here we go

01:10:19Joe

01:10:19Rose Chambeau

01:10:21Potential here

01:10:22The big one

01:10:22Oh Cody

01:10:23Look at Cody

01:10:24Turning things around

01:10:26The champ

01:10:28Crossroads

01:10:29Sickening

01:10:31One

01:10:32Two

01:10:32Three

01:10:33One

01:10:35Here is your winner

01:10:37The undisputed

01:10:39WWE

01:10:40Charity

01:10:41The American

01:10:42Nightmare

01:10:43Cody

01:10:44So good to have

01:10:46Him back

01:10:47Medically cleared

01:10:48And healthy

01:10:48Oh god

01:10:49What

01:10:49Gunther

01:10:50Gunther's in their way

01:10:52What on earth

01:10:53No time for celebration

01:10:55Sleeper locked in

01:10:56And Cody's made it

01:10:58Cody's out

01:11:02Gunther arrives

01:11:06And attacks

01:11:07And attacks with the sleeper

01:11:07Again

01:11:08Oh no

01:11:09Get Gunther the hell

01:11:11Off Cody

01:11:15What is the meaning of this

01:11:17From Gunther

01:11:18Just as he did to Seth

01:11:20Two times in the course

01:11:22Of the last month

01:11:22And then AJ Styles

01:11:24And then John Cena

01:11:25Python like grip

01:11:27Around the throat

01:11:28And neck of Cody

01:11:30And Cody Rhodes

01:11:31And Cody Rhodes

01:11:32Is off to sleep

01:11:33And that perhaps

01:11:35Is the reason

01:11:36Why

01:11:36You would assume

01:11:38Gunther has a new

01:11:39Target

01:11:41And it's the

01:11:42WWE champ

01:11:44The undisputed championship

01:11:46Is raised up

01:11:48By Gunther

01:11:49Of all people

01:11:51On the heels

01:11:52Of Cody's

01:11:53Comeback

01:11:54After being medically cleared

01:11:55In the victory

01:11:56Over Ricky Saints

01:11:57Gunther

01:11:58Does

01:11:59That

01:12:12Hey as you know

01:12:14Summer Slam

01:12:14Is coming to

01:12:15U.S. Bank Stadium

01:12:16In Minnesota

01:12:17It'll be August 1st

01:12:18And 2nd

01:12:19And T-Day combo tickets

01:12:21Are on sale now

01:12:21Via Ticketmaster

01:12:23Can you believe

01:12:24What just happened

01:12:25A long time ago

01:12:25Here in Tulsa

01:12:27Well it was a grueling win

01:12:28For Cody Rhodes

01:12:28Over Ricky Saints

01:12:30But it was followed

01:12:31By a merciless attack

01:12:32From the ring

01:12:33General Gunther

01:12:35Locking in a sleeper

01:12:37On Cody Rhodes

01:12:38Putting Cody

01:12:39Completely out

01:12:40And then

01:12:41Unnecessarily

01:12:41Sleeper number 2

01:12:43Reinforcing the message

01:12:45From the ring

01:12:45General

01:12:46Who really needed

01:12:47No words

01:12:48To let the world

01:12:49Know his motivation

01:12:50In this thing

01:12:53The WWE Championship

01:12:55That belongs

01:12:56Of course

01:12:57To Cody Rhodes

01:12:58Of course

01:12:59He is well aware

01:12:59Of having that target

01:13:00On his back

01:13:01As QB1

01:13:01Hey let's move ahead

01:13:02And let's do so

01:13:03With the global sensation

01:13:05The guy with the

01:13:06Foolish charm

01:13:06The guy who has

01:13:07A 100% curse rate

01:13:09And he's undefeated

01:13:10With his in-ring record

01:13:12In WWE

01:13:28Oh for crying out loud

01:13:30What do you mean crying out loud

01:13:31It's the housing mobile

01:13:32This goofball

01:13:33In this bar

01:13:34Bartwagon

01:13:35Is an absolute embarrassment

01:13:37For the blue brand

01:13:38No

01:13:38Not embarrassment

01:13:39Incomparable

01:13:40We need to send him

01:13:41Packing ASAP

01:13:43He's already caused enough damage

01:13:45The only thing that's packing

01:13:46Is cash to his bank

01:13:47He's amazing

01:13:49Got cash

01:13:50It's human monies

01:13:51Joe Ted

01:13:52And I really hate myself

01:13:59The man

01:14:00From Mockingbird Lane

01:14:01By the way

01:14:01A beautiful

01:14:02Spotted with Gothic Victorian

01:14:03Clear off

01:14:05Oh no

01:14:07I'm writing

01:14:08From the desk

01:14:09Look at this

01:14:10This is excellent

01:14:11It's a fire

01:14:12Parallel park

01:14:13Not fire hazard

01:14:14Right there

01:14:14That's VIP parking

01:14:24Hello

01:14:25Fanhauser

01:14:29I am Danhausen

01:14:30Very nice

01:14:31Very evil

01:14:33And luckily for you

01:14:35I found $400

01:14:36In the back

01:14:37Human style

01:14:38And I decided

01:14:39I would spend it

01:14:40On the Fanhausens

01:14:41By buying some

01:14:42Danhausen merchandise

01:14:45So generous

01:14:46That's a good guy

01:14:47It was $40,000

01:14:48What is the real

01:14:49What a sweetheart

01:14:51Of a ghoul he is

01:14:52Very very nice

01:14:53And a little bit evil

01:14:55Sending out t-shirts

01:14:56And cash to the crowd

01:14:57I love it

01:14:58Nothing nice about this guy

01:14:59He's a troublemaker

01:15:01Who else would like to play a t-shirt

01:15:03Well I'd love one

01:15:04Awesome

01:15:05Look at this one

01:15:06Now this is more like it

01:15:16Ever since you've come here

01:15:18Bad things have been happening to me

01:15:21My wedding renewal

01:15:22With my wife

01:15:23Ruined

01:15:24My daughter's bike

01:15:26Stolen

01:15:28Referee got a cramp

01:15:30In his arm

01:15:30I got blown up

01:15:32Last week

01:15:33And now this

01:15:34Yeah

01:15:35Why are you so dirty

01:15:37I don't want to talk about it

01:15:39Okay

01:15:41I have come to a realization

01:15:46I am cursed

01:15:54Yes I am

01:16:01And I'm going to do the one thing

01:16:03I thought I'd never do

01:16:05Danhausen

01:16:06I will be your mentor

01:16:08Oh

01:16:09No

01:16:10He seems to like

01:16:12Please

01:16:12Miss Housen

01:16:25Miss Housen

01:16:27Oh that's beautiful

01:16:29Hey kids

01:17:05Do you know why

01:17:06Everyone's talking about

01:17:07Danhausen

01:17:08Because he's mastered

01:17:10The curse

01:17:12He's inspired a connection

01:17:14With each and every person

01:17:15Here

01:17:16In Tulsa

01:17:17Oklahoma

01:17:19And everybody

01:17:21Watching all over the world

01:17:23He's been able

01:17:24To zone in

01:17:25On what it truly takes

01:17:27To be a WWE

01:17:28Superstar

01:17:29Can you stay the same

01:17:35Nope

01:17:37And you want to be

01:17:39My mentee

01:17:41You're not even in the same league

01:17:47Miss

01:17:48Howzen

01:17:50No no no

01:17:52Miss

01:17:52Come on

01:17:53Miss

01:17:53I'm begging you

01:17:54Give us

01:17:56A chance

01:17:57I wrote a poem

01:17:59I wrote a poem

01:18:06Danhausen

01:18:07You don't

01:18:07Belong in this building

01:18:09You

01:18:09Should be

01:18:10Banned

01:18:11Miss

01:18:12Look me in my eyes

01:18:14Shake

01:18:15My

01:18:16Hand

01:18:18Oh no you don't

01:18:20Shake

01:18:20Danhausen's

01:18:21Hand

01:18:22Come on

01:18:44Laughing

01:18:45Flow

01:18:45Roar

01:18:46All

01:18:46Guerrier

01:18:50Wowşam

01:18:54Ms. Housing

01:19:04Well, uh

01:19:05I guess there's only

01:19:08one thing left to do

01:19:17Oh no! Yes!

01:19:19Double cross housing

01:19:25It was a trap

01:19:27And not like one of

01:19:28Dan Housen's rubbish traps

01:19:30A real trap

01:19:32With a real beatdown at the end

01:19:34Yeah, that's what I came to Smackdown for

01:19:36Thank you Ms

01:19:37And thank you Kit

01:19:39A week after Dan Housen cursed both of them

01:19:41During the match against the Ms

01:19:43A sculpt-rushing finale

01:19:45It was too good to be true

01:19:47The short-lived Ms. Housen relationship

01:19:49Well, that should be the finale for Dan Housen

01:19:52And wait a second

01:19:53Oh, Kit has got him in the target zone

01:19:57Kit is going up top, Kit Wilson

01:19:59You know what they say, Joe?

01:20:00Men cry two

01:20:01Yes!

01:20:03The men cry two

01:20:04Elbow

01:20:05Lands on Dan Housen

01:20:08So good

01:20:09I was crying in the locker room earlier

01:20:11And I feel so much better for it

01:20:13But I feel really good

01:20:15Now Dan Housen has been extinguished

01:20:17Distinguished

01:20:18Finally

01:20:19By Ms

01:20:20And Kit Wilson

01:20:28And look who's warming up

01:20:30The massive power display

01:20:32Of Royce Keys

01:20:33One of the most impressive newcomers

01:20:35For the roster

01:20:42Every once in a great while

01:20:45An athlete comes along

01:20:46That sets himself apart

01:20:48From all the rest

01:20:49I just felt like I had to go out

01:20:51And be different and entertaining

01:20:52On a whole nother level

01:20:54I wouldn't have pissed on Shawn Michaels

01:20:56If he was on fire

01:20:57But when he came back around

01:20:58He was a changed human being

01:20:59I love telling people about my dad

01:21:01If you look at this generation

01:21:02So many of them will say

01:21:04Who's your biggest influence?

01:21:05Shawn Michaels

01:21:14I'm the glamour

01:21:16Clean

01:21:18Perfect

01:21:20Untouchable

01:21:24And when the world thinks

01:21:25It's ready to see the glamour in full

01:21:28It'll be too late

01:21:30Because nothing burns brighter

01:21:32Then Blake

01:21:33Monroe

01:21:40The place is getting the glamour

01:21:42The material girl

01:21:43Blake Monroe coming soon

01:21:44A few weeks ago of course

01:21:45We saw Royce Keys

01:21:46And against Angel's pack team partner

01:21:48Birdo

01:21:48While Angel is ringside

01:21:49Now the other half of those cars

01:21:50That takes on this mighty challenge

01:22:04I took everything that I want

01:22:10I took everything that I want

01:22:14The following contest is

01:22:16For one fall

01:22:17Making his way to the ring

01:22:19From East Palo Alto, California

01:22:20Langing at 291 pounds

01:22:23He is the winner

01:22:24Of the 2026

01:22:26Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

01:22:30Royce Keys

01:22:32Great reception for Royce Keys

01:22:34He's become a fan favorite

01:22:35I really feel like the WWE Universe

01:22:37Has gotten to know Royce Keys the man

01:22:40So well

01:22:42And he's so likable

01:22:43So much adversity

01:22:44That's been overcome

01:22:45He's so grateful for everything in life

01:22:47What a powerhouse

01:22:48Keys the man is one thing

01:22:49Keys the physical specimen

01:22:51Is something else

01:22:52The kind of guy you stay well away from

01:22:54And Angel knows that

01:22:56Because Keys beat up Birdo

01:22:57Three weeks ago

01:22:58We'll try to start there

01:23:01But it simply didn't work

01:23:02Time to run away

01:23:04Yeah he threw his coat over him

01:23:05And just said

01:23:06I'm going to go with the punches

01:23:07While I got him blinded for a moment

01:23:08But that didn't work out as well

01:23:10So what's the plan

01:23:11You see what Keys can do

01:23:13Against your tag partner Birdo

01:23:15Hopefully you spot a weakness

01:23:17And now you exploit

01:23:18Oh

01:23:19Distraction there

01:23:20But oh slipped off

01:23:21Trying to do anything that they can

01:23:23To distraction that time from Birdo

01:23:25And now just playing a game of chicken

01:23:26You've got to find a weakness on Keys

01:23:28Before you get exploited

01:23:29That might be the issue here

01:23:31Because the monster

01:23:34Is looking like a real star

01:23:36In that Smackdown ring

01:23:37Look at that upper body

01:23:39And Royce Keys

01:23:39Look at those shoulders

01:23:41And the girls up top

01:23:42The kind of guy

01:23:43You see him coming your way

01:23:44You give him a wide berth

01:23:46But that is not an option

01:23:47For Birdo

01:23:48Poor Birdo

01:23:49Who's been dropped

01:23:49Perhaps for good

01:23:51Catches the cross body

01:23:53It's just unfair

01:23:54With ease

01:23:56A smile on his face too

01:23:58And just plants Angel up top

01:24:03And goes up and picks him up

01:24:05Like a child

01:24:07Look at this

01:24:08Are you kidding me Barrett

01:24:10That thud

01:24:11The shake of the entire ring

01:24:13Just an effortless power slam

01:24:15Off the second ropes

01:24:17Against a 235 pound opponent

01:24:20Ultimate spine buster

01:24:221, 2, 3

01:24:24Here is your winner

01:24:28Royce Keys

01:24:30Well good luck

01:24:32Whoever faces Royce Keys next

01:24:34Because here's a little sample

01:24:36Of what's coming your way

01:24:37Just a ridiculous power slam

01:24:40Off the ropes

01:24:41Executed with ease

01:24:43And I like what you call this

01:24:45The ultimate spine buster

01:24:46You will never see one

01:24:48More impactful

01:24:49Or more devastating

01:24:51Than that

01:24:51From Royce Keys

01:24:53Who is going to be

01:24:54A major problem

01:24:55For the entire

01:24:56Smackdown roster

01:24:57That Andre the Giant Memorial

01:24:58Battle Royal

01:24:59That he won

01:24:59It felt like a rocket

01:25:00Blast off

01:25:01A launching pad

01:25:02Heralding a new star

01:25:03It is Royce Keys

01:25:08Here with the newly crowned

01:25:09Women's United States Champion

01:25:11Tiffany Stratton

01:25:12Tiffany you won that title

01:25:13Off of Julia last week

01:25:14What's your plan for this reign?

01:25:16You know Kathy

01:25:17As champion and the birthday girl

01:25:18I feel like people

01:25:20Should be coming to meet

01:25:20For opportunities with this title

01:25:22And I do feel like

01:25:23This title needs to be

01:25:24Defended more frequently

01:25:25And who doesn't love

01:25:26The sound of a good

01:25:26Open challenge

01:25:27So

01:25:27I brought you a birthday gift

01:25:31It's me walking

01:25:32It's a miracle

01:25:33Anyway I tried to plan

01:25:34A surprise party for you

01:25:35But of course

01:25:36Sir Nicholas the prickless

01:25:37Ruins everything

01:25:38So instead

01:25:38We're going for martinis

01:25:40You know Chelsea

01:25:41I couldn't think of a worse way

01:25:42To spend my birthday

01:25:44Okay

01:25:45After work it is

01:25:46First order of business

01:25:47We will discuss

01:25:48My reign as your first

01:25:50And fourth

01:25:51United States Women's Champion

01:25:52And then we'll discuss you

01:25:53The six

01:25:54Probably for the best

01:25:55That Chelsea's

01:25:56Phony little birthday celebration

01:25:57Never came to fruition

01:25:58I mean

01:25:59It's not like Tiffany

01:26:00Is going to be

01:26:00United States Champion for long

01:26:02But

01:26:03I suppose

01:26:04I wouldn't be doing my job

01:26:05If I didn't secure Julia

01:26:06Her rematch

01:26:07You know

01:26:08I do love the sound of a title match

01:26:10Next week

01:26:10Can't wait

01:26:11Oh

01:26:12Actually

01:26:12I wasn't talking about you

01:26:14I have the entire locker room

01:26:16To think about

01:26:16And actually

01:26:17I was talking to

01:26:18You
