00:36fighting jackets and we've come out ahead every single time no tricks no cheat codes we put
00:42everything we have into keeping our titles because we know exactly what happens when you
00:47have taken things for granted nia jacks and lash legend on the other hand they're used to walking
00:53all over people to get what they want you already beat them and they're desperate to come up with
00:57excuses they said we cheated but what they call cheating we call experience survival instinct
01:05there's more to being insane champions than just brute strength we are two of the most influential
01:12history making women on this roster so the irresistible forces can underestimate us

03:05soothed tomorrow if they can win the wwe women's tag team titles against the champs paige and brie bella
03:13at saturday night's main event
03:26hi i'm blake manure i'm chelsea green but you probably already knew that yeah i did i actually
03:31watch you out there and i just wanted to say that i wish i didn't
03:43look at you trying to make more friends all you're doing you're just making enemies
03:46let's see how helpful you are now
04:00nyan lash a little payback after what happened in our women's u.s championship match
04:05Don't look who it is, it's the last good guy left!
04:09The following contest is scheduled for one call.
04:17Introducing first, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada,
04:21weighing in at 212 pounds, Sammy Zay!
04:27What was that title you gave him?
04:28I said he's the last good guy left!
04:31You seem thoroughly unenthusiastic about this.
04:35It's been a rollercoaster of frustration for Sammy Zayn in recent months.
04:40Well, I guess that could all be remedied right here,
04:42to prove himself against the undisputed champion.
04:45Non-title match, but so much on the line for Sammy
04:48against the American Nightmare, Cody Rose, that's next.
05:29We'll see you next time.
05:34Hey, Priest!
05:35Priest!
05:36What's up with that grabbing me by my throat?
05:39Your partner called me to make sure I had your back tonight.
05:43Let me get this straight.
05:46You get involved in my business,
05:49and you ask me what my problem is.
05:51You got the balls to question me.
05:54I don't care if my partner called you.
05:57I don't know you.
05:58I don't trust you.
05:59For all I know, you work with the MFTs.
06:02Now, I'm out there.
06:04I get it jumped.
06:05Something you know about,
06:07somebody grabs me from behind,
06:09and I grab you.
06:10What would you have done?
06:13I get it.
06:14I get it.
06:14I get it.
06:15We've both been there.
06:16But remember this.
06:17If it's an issue you want,
06:19it's an issue you're going to get.
06:21And anybody can get it.
06:27Well, it's a tough talk between Royce Keyes and D...
06:41You think it's his power sword at Cringer
06:44and becomes Battle Cat?
06:46You know too much about him and way too much joke.
06:49Well, let's see if the power sword for Sami Zayn
06:52can come out in this critical moment.
06:54He was on a tear earlier tonight
06:55with Nick Aldis and Cody Rhodes.
06:58That's what I'm talking about.
07:01That's what I'm talking about.
07:30That smile of a champion that lights up any arena.
07:33About to flow
07:34Waiting for me to start the show
07:37I've got the lights to work from home
07:42Whoa!
07:49And it is a coach from Atlanta, Georgia
07:52playing in at 222 pounds
07:55He is the undisputed WWE champion
08:00The American Nightmare!
08:04Cody Rhodes!
08:07Cody Rhodes!
08:08Cody Rhodes, who earlier tonight
08:09was listening to Sami Zayn complain
08:13that, hey, if Gunnar's going to play games
08:15why not him?
08:16Why not Sami for a shot at Cody?
08:18And Cody always willing for a fight.
08:22Yeah, no doubt about that.
08:24Felt he was a little disrespected
08:25by the words of Sami Zayn.
08:27Well, Cody wants that signature
08:29on the contract from Gunnar
08:30for Clash in Italy
08:32but as yet, it's not forthcoming
08:35but as he says
08:36easy to find, hard to beat
08:39take your shot, Sami!
08:42Oh!
08:49Of course, the end of last week's SmackDown
08:52that version of Cody
08:53a champ who took matters into his own hands
08:55made a statement
08:56that crossroads that Gunnar spoke volumes
08:58and now nine days until Clash in Italy
09:02weeks of dealing with Gunnar's hesitation
09:05to sign the contract
09:06like the mind game.
09:07Yeah, and it almost cost Gunnar last week
09:10when he ended up
09:10having to defeat Royce Keys
09:13to maintain his position
09:15as number one contender
09:16and it's a strange game
09:18he's playing in my book
09:19but right now, Cody cannot focus on that
09:21because he's got a very game
09:24Sami Zayn on his hands.
09:40Well, almost universal approval
09:42for Cody Rhodes here tonight
09:44in this arena
09:45the Sami Zayn ride or dies
09:48are thin on the ground
09:50Sami Zayn not deterred whatsoever
09:56Sami Zayn looking to test Cody early on
10:10Cody Rhodes saying
10:11we've done the handshake part
10:13let's stop playing around here
10:14let's throw down
10:18we go way back
10:20close friends
10:21although that friendship
10:22has been massively frayed
10:23over the past two or three months
10:25as Sami Zayn's career
10:27at times has spiraled
10:35Cody quick to it
10:39slam Zayn
10:41now he says
10:42you want to shake now?
10:43you want to shake?
10:44you want to shake?
10:45you want to shake?
10:46you want to shake?
10:47you want to shake?
10:47you want to shake?
10:48you want to shake?
10:50you want to shake?
10:58Cody was so red hot
10:59earlier after overhearing
11:01what Sami had to say
11:02as Sami was
11:03making his argument
11:05that he deserves
11:06the chance
11:07follows the implication
11:08that for some reason
11:09Cody gets an easy ride
11:11around here
11:11and I'll tell you right now
11:12if you're the champ
11:13you should get
11:14at times
11:16advantageous support
11:17from management
11:18you should at times
11:19get an easy ride
11:20but Cody undoubtedly
11:21has taken a long
11:23and arduous path
11:24to get to be the champ
11:26and he's earned
11:27every piece
11:28of his status
11:30as the number one
11:31in this entire industry
11:32and I think that is
11:33what rankled
11:34with Cody Rhodes earlier
11:35oh Sami
11:37quick to send him down
11:38the hot out of the blocks
11:40there with Sami Zayn
11:41who now has an advantage
12:01Cody Rhodes the three-time
12:03undisputed WWE champion
12:07a performance
12:08at WrestleMania 42
12:10in Vegas
12:11and then the attack
12:12afterwards
12:13that cost him time
12:15the horrible injury
12:16against Sami Zayn
12:18in ring
12:19who is a zero-time
12:20world champion
12:21and how much
12:22does that irritate
12:23Sami Zayn
12:25for the moment
12:26it would be
12:26if he could put away
12:27the current WWE champ
12:29tonight
12:31imagine he would
12:32skip the showers
12:33and go straight
12:34to the door
12:35of Nick Oldis
12:36and start making
12:37some demands
12:38on championship
12:39opportunities
12:39he's earning it
12:40as he continues
12:42to work on that
12:43left leg
12:43of Cody Rhodes
12:45recent United States
12:47champion
12:47Sami Zayn
12:51Cody looks in
12:52real trouble here
12:53the damage
12:54to that left knee
12:55is quite clear
12:56to anyone watching
12:58simply no way
13:00to hide
13:00that level of pain
13:01and Sami Zayn
13:02acutely aware
13:03of what is
13:04damaged on Cody Rhodes
13:05and now he's
13:06going to attack
13:07relentlessly
13:08one, two, three, four
13:10and five
13:11he's looking at me
13:12he's looking at me
13:13he's looking at me
13:14he's looking at me
13:14look at me
13:15look at me
13:17look at me
13:17look at me
13:17look at me
13:18look at me
13:18Sami Zayn
13:18Sami Zayn
13:19this referee has been
13:19a little overzealous
13:21in getting between
13:22the two fighters
13:24just going to further
13:25irritate the
13:26mindset
13:26of Sami Zayn
13:30chop after chop
13:31and you can see
13:32how much
13:33Cody is favoring
13:34that leg
13:37I mean your job
13:38as someone with
13:39an injury in the
13:40ring is to try
13:41and A
13:41hide and B
13:42protect that injury
13:43from your opponent
13:45and Cody's in such
13:46a bad way
13:47he's simply not
13:47in a position
13:48to do so
13:49oh great turnaround
13:50by Cody
13:52but still
13:53doesn't have
13:54total stability
13:54on that left knee
13:55there's a little
13:56taste of his own
13:57medicine there
13:57for Zayn
13:58it was kind of
13:58the same thing
13:59that caught Cody
14:00earlier in the match
14:02but Cody
14:02unable to capitalize
14:03on that advantage
14:05that he got himself
14:06thanks to that
14:07busted knee
14:09Sami slams him down
14:11and he can feel
14:12all the momentum
14:17and the bruise
14:18ring out
14:19and Sami is now
14:21searching
14:22for the one
14:23or two fans
14:24that are still
14:25believing in Zayn
14:26at this point
14:27he just can't
14:32understand
14:33why there's
14:33that reaction
14:42now we're going
14:42to torture
14:43that left knee
14:44of Cody Rhodes
14:45you know there's
14:45no quit in Cody
14:46but severely
14:48hampered in his
14:49abilities to fight
14:50back here
14:51is the champ
15:02story of this match
15:03between Sami Zayn
15:04and Cody Rhodes
15:05has been the attack
15:07on the left knee
15:08of Cody Rhodes
15:09and how impacted
15:10he is
15:11he's trying to find
15:12stability and support
15:13as Sami Zayn
15:14has targeted
15:15that leg
15:16well Cody's got
15:17no option
15:18at this point
15:18in the match
15:19to play anything
15:20other than defense
15:21he simply doesn't
15:22have offensive
15:23capabilities
15:24because Sami Zayn
15:26has completely
15:26taken that out
15:27of the champ
15:29but somehow
15:30Cody
15:31does that
15:33digs down
15:34and finds
15:35enough
15:36but how do you
15:37follow that up
15:38with one
15:39bad leg
15:41struggling now
15:42to even get up
15:43to a vertical base
15:44he's just about
15:45there but wobbly
15:46and look at how much
15:47attention he's having
15:48to give
15:49to that left knee
15:50and that attention
15:51on the knee
15:52means it's attention
15:53you simply cannot
15:54focus on your opponent
15:55although
15:55giving it a good
15:56old try now
15:57is Cody
15:59and delivering
16:00but still
16:02stumbling around
16:04and it's those
16:05beats in between
16:06moves that can be
16:07oh
16:08Cody
16:09cutter
16:12Sammy
16:13just beats
16:14the count
16:15Cody's still
16:16dealing with that
16:17injury
16:17just when I write
16:18off Cody Rhodes
16:19a one-legged
16:20springboard leap
16:22off that middle
16:22rope
16:23and a Cody
16:23cutter
16:24almost gets
16:25the job done
16:26Cody
16:27in a bad way
16:28physically
16:28but that fighting
16:29spirit still living on
16:31nine days to clash
16:32in Italy
16:33Sammy overheard
16:34that Gunther
16:35still hasn't
16:36signed
16:36the contract
16:37arguing that
16:38he deserves
16:38a chance
16:39Cody was enraged
16:41in some of the things
16:41that Sammy said
16:42that he overheard
16:43with Nick Aldis
16:44earlier
16:45so this came his way
16:47Cody's quite clear
16:48he's having to fight
16:49anyone
16:49but you know
16:49his target
16:50has to hook up
16:51oh no
16:51he just blasted
16:55the champ
16:56all the way
16:57across our
16:58announce desk
16:59while Cody
17:00landing hard
17:00on the desk
17:01ribs and side
17:02first
17:03and then with
17:03the bounce
17:04he lands knee first
17:06on the floor too
17:07and Cody's
17:08in a world of
17:09trouble here

17:34awaiting him
17:35in there
17:35Sammy Zane
17:37and now Cody Rhodes
17:38with that busted
17:39up knee
17:39probably some busted
17:41ribs for good measure
17:42looks like a beaten
17:44man
17:44I cannot believe
17:46what he just
17:48had to endure
17:48he went
17:50flying
17:50he got sent
17:51all the way

17:58sitting duck
17:59now
18:01Cody able to get
18:02on the way
18:02for a moment
18:04oh and he delivers
18:06the cutter again
18:07this time
18:08from the very top
18:09a super cutter
18:11by Cody
18:14and a millisecond
18:16away from victory
18:17the difference
18:18there being
18:19how long

18:35Sami Zayn

18:37away with the
18:38fairies now
18:39there are certain
18:40qualities that a
18:41champion possesses
18:42Cody is showing you

19:01as despair
19:02is in the eyes
19:03of Sami Zayn

19:05done with this
19:06blue thunder bomb
19:12they have pushed
19:13each other
19:14to the limit
19:15perhaps
19:16in the case
19:17of Cody
19:18past the limit
19:19with the damage
