00:01I have voices in my head, they drop from me, they understand, they talk to me
00:17You got chills in your vision, all designed to keep you safe
00:23But when rules start getting broken, you start questioning your faith
00:29I have a voice that is my savior, hates the love and lots of hate
00:35I have a voice that has the knowledge and the power to me
00:40I hear voices crying, I see people dying, I taste blood that's dying
00:50I feel tension waiting, I have voices in my head, they drop from me, they understand
00:58They talk to me, they talk to me
01:04They tell me things that I've written, they show me things I'll tell you
01:10They talk to me, they talk to me
01:28The World Championship
01:31Introducing first, from St. Louis Missouri, weighing in at 280 pounds, the Viper, Randy Orton
01:48For Randy Orton, tonight's match is so important to earn an opportunity at the World Championship
01:5414 times in his career, he's held the world title
01:58Tied with Triple H, only Ric Flair with 16 and John Cena with 17 have more
02:03And Randy Orton would love to one day move a step closer to the all-time greats
02:09They tell me things that I'll tell you
02:12They show me things I'll tell you
02:14They talk to me
02:22So on Smackdown last night, Randy Orton's head looked like it was going to explode with rage at one point
02:30That energy constantly buzzing inside the Viper
02:34Well, it finds an outlet tonight in this fatal four-way
02:38Well, it exploded Trick Williams and Sami Zayn last night as well
02:41With a couple of well-placed RKO's
02:45The favorite for any match he's competing in, including this one
02:52Always watch out for the Viper
02:58He's had quite the rivalry with Drew McIntyre over the years, the current WWE Champion
03:18He's a champion of the steadfast Muir
03:20He's so scary
03:21He dingŘŞ the fans
03:22Someone took the prize
03:22And he caught his thing
03:24He's not your best
03:28Deadly
03:29He's amazing
03:31We've got the prizes
03:41Solid
04:05Next, from New York City,
04:08weighing in at 249 pounds, Damian Priest.
04:15Damian Priest goes into this matchup with ten stitches in his lip and his cheek.
04:21After the battle with Trent Williams in the main event last night on Friday night SmackDown,
04:26we talked to Priest earlier today.
04:28He said there's gonna be some hell to pay tonight.
04:32Absolute war it was in last night SmackDown main event,
04:37a match spoiled by Sami Zayn, inserting himself into the action.
04:41That was, of course, after Damian Priest had warned him to not do that,
04:46and there may be some consequences tonight.
04:50This has been done.
05:31Oh
05:48Columbia, South Carolina, weighing in at 240 pounds,
05:53Trent Williams!
05:56What a meteoric rise for this young man
05:58who burst on the scene on Friday Night SmackDown
06:01just a few short weeks ago.
06:02He qualified for this matchup tonight
06:05with a victory over Matt Cardona.
06:07And then he was in the main event with Damian Priest last night.
06:11And tonight, he finds himself in the ring
06:14with three of the all-time greats.
06:16Oh, man. Tall, dark, and handsome with a little pizzazz.
06:21Look at the fever for the flavor, as does this Montreal audience
06:25because the lemon pepper stepper is in town.
06:29And Trick Relly looking to buck his ticket to a showdown
06:33with WWE champ Drew McIntyre at the Royal Rumble.
06:38That meteoric rise you mentioned will be complete
06:41if he does just that.
06:42Let's go!
06:44Towering, athletic, and braggadocious,
06:47Trick Williams.
06:48I'll tell you what, Cole.
06:50Call him braggado...
06:51If you look like Trick Williams,
06:53if you have the abilities of Trick Williams,
06:56if you have the future of Trick Williams,
06:59you too would be braggadocious.
07:02Oh, man, trick!
07:04Oh, man, trick!
07:06Oh, man, trick!
07:12Oh!
07:24And from Montreal,
07:27Women, Canada,
07:30weighing in at 212 pounds,
07:33Sami Zayn.
08:11The atmosphere
08:13tonight eerily reminiscent of two years ago.
08:26When Sami Zayn in this building almost upset Roman Reigns for the undisputed WWE Championship.
08:36Tonight he tries to earn an opportunity at the same title next week at the Rumble.
08:49Brought up seven miles from here in the ball.
08:53You can barely hear a word you're saying, Cole.
08:57Sami Zayn, the hometown hero.
09:17I had the opportunity earlier today to have a conversation with Kevin Owens, who of course is recovering from an
09:25injury.
09:27Kevin Owens from right here in Montreal as well said he's watching this matchup tonight,
09:33rooting on his friend Sami Zayn.
09:35He says it's a complicated relationship between him and Sami.
09:38But in the end they'll always be brothers.
09:41And he's pulling for Sami to pull this one out tonight.
09:43Get well soon KO, you know he'd love to be involved in this particular fight on this particular night.
09:50But what a war it's gonna be with a massive prize on the line for these four men.
10:16I do what I want.
10:18I do this on my time.
10:23Oh, KO early in the match-ups underway.
10:25This is a fatal four-way match, fatal four-way rules of course.
10:28The first man to gain pinfall or submission will win in advance to the Rumble.
10:32There are no count outs, there are no disqualifications.
10:44Now is this highly partisan atmosphere gonna be enough to pull Montreal's nearly
10:49the man Sami Zayn over the line this evening.
10:52Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, and Trent Williams now gonna drag Sami out of the ring.
10:57I'll tell you, I like the smarts of Trent Williams getting out there early.
11:01Let other guys fight it out between themselves but never take it back on the viper.
11:05The uppercut from Orton to Williams.
11:07A little bit of inexperience showing there from Trent Williams.
11:11And again for Randy Orton, we ate so much here on the line tonight.
11:15Damian Priest gonna fly through the air!
11:17A steep, steep learning curve at this level.
11:20You cannot afford any slip-ups.
11:23Damian Priest with those stitches in his mouth that you made sure
11:26wants to end this one as quickly as possible.
11:28Flying elbow by Priest and caught him again this time with a big left hand.
11:32Sub 100%, got a real beating from Trent Williams last night.
11:37Managed to hang in there.
11:42Damian Priest from a world champion in his own right.
11:45You mentioned the history of Randy Orton with Drew McIntyre.
11:49Now Damian Priest has a massive history with-
11:53With McIntyre too, and he would love to get back in the ring with him for that WWE title.
11:57Yeah, it was WrestleMania a couple of years ago.
11:59McIntyre won the title, the world title, held onto it for about five minutes
12:03before Priest would cash in the Money in the Bank contract
12:07to win his first ever world championship.
12:12Mentioned Randy Orton again.
12:13It's been a long time since Randy has been a world champion.
12:17And I'll tell you right now, if there is one competitor that this red-hot
12:21Montreal atmosphere will not affect, it is the ice-cold Randy Orton.
12:26He will take sadistic pleasure in beating the hometown kid down now.
12:32Two...
12:33Three...
12:37Four...
12:38Five...
12:40One...
12:41And Sami Zayn drops Orton face first into the turnbuckle,
12:44and now it's Sami Zayn's turn.
12:46Three...
12:46Four...
12:47Five...
12:47Three...
12:48Three...
12:48Three...
12:49Four...
12:49Five...
12:49And Sami Zayn, just such a different competitor when he's in his hometown of Montreal,
12:54He all feeds off these fans.
12:56There's always just an extra spring in Sammy's step when he's around here,
13:00but he might need more than that tonight.
13:01He certainly needs eyes in the back of his head.
13:05Trick Williams.
13:06He was like a vulture.
13:07As soon as there was an opportunity, straight into action was Trick Willie.
13:11And in this short time here, in SmackDown and in the main roster,
13:15really wise behind his years.
13:18Beyond his years.
13:19Yeah, he's such a fast learner.
13:21Really, three years from zero to what you see today for Trick Williams in this industry.
13:27A man who's just absorbed every piece of knowledge from the coaches in NXT,
13:31from all his opponents down there.
13:33He was a football player.
13:35Walked on and became a starter at the University of South Carolina.
13:39And then he decided he wanted to wrestle.
13:41You look at the physical gifts that this guy has.
13:44It makes no surprise that this man is going to succeed at whatever sport he turns his head to.
13:48Just so happens that personality-wise, that sport, that right fit was right here in WWE.
13:54And right now, Trick is dominating as he sends Sami Zayn into Randy Orton.
13:58And how impressive is that, right?
14:00Dominating last night against Damian Preece and doing it again now.
14:03That neck breaker and a kick out by Sami.
14:06And I'll tell you, there is something about Trick Williams.
14:09Such a big, powerful individual, but he can move like lightning.
14:12He's so explosive in the blink of an eye that it's such a gift for a heavyweight.
14:17Can you imagine if Trick Williams could win this match tonight against these three men,
14:22and go on to the Rumble to face McIntyre for an opportunity at the WWE title?
14:26Well, he's the rank outsider in this one, just based on resume.
14:30And we're gonna spend the next 12 months learning a lot about Trick Williams every week.
14:36But I ain't gonna lie, Cole, he looks ready now.
14:39You know, we talked a lot about this last night.
14:41Trick with a lot of Booker T, the Hall of Famer in him.
14:44A lot of his actions and mannerisms in the ring, and a big chop to Sami Zayn.
14:49Harkens back to the people that Trick learns from.
14:52Put him around any veteran, he will learn something from them.
14:54And there are a few better people to learn from than Booker T.
14:58There's that cyclone brute, that spinning heel kick.
15:02And now Damian Priest, cover.
15:07And a kick out, Williams grabbing the ropes and kicks out.
15:09Now remember, ropes wouldn't cause any type of break in this match under the fatal four-way rules.
15:14So Trick had to kick there.
15:15Can't give you a little leverage to get out of extreme danger.
15:18And that's where Sami Zayn is at here.
15:22Long limb length of the Punisher, Damian Priest coming to the fore.
15:26A massive advantage for him in any striking battle.
15:29Trying to lift Sami Zayn up, perhaps into the razor's edge.
15:32And now Sami Zayn, loves to, slipped a little bit.
15:36But he turns it into a tornado DDT anyway.
15:38And here's the cover by Zayn to try to advance to the rumble and a kick out by Priest.
15:43Yeah, what is it about Sami Zayn that makes him so effective?
15:46He's not the biggest, he's not the quickest, he's not the strongest.
15:50But he does have that gutsy, valiant nature to him.
15:53And then he can pull out moves like that under the blink of an eye.
15:56A normal human being would have fallen apart, slipping on the rope, going up like that.
15:59Sami Zayn turning into a great offensive maneuver.
16:02Career underdog, never down, never out.
16:12Randy Orton back into the mix.
16:14Sami Zayn though, looking for blue thunderbomb.
16:16Randy Orton doesn't allow it to happen.
16:19And now Orton and Priest power slam.
16:23And now the Vipers feeling it.
16:27Clothesline to Sami Zayn and Randy's starting to hear those voices in his head.
16:32Cardinal said, you forgot about Randy Orton for just long enough for him to recover and
16:40clean the trash out of the ring.
16:42Drake Williams sent over the top rope by Orton.
16:45And now Randy Orton has Damian Priest where he wants him.
16:51Vintage Orton with a drippy DDT.
16:54Just absolutely barbaric with that, barbaric with that impact.
16:59And Drake Williams may have wanted to stay down a bit longer on that one.
17:04Randy looking for it again, Sami Zayn now from behind.
17:07Zayn has Orton up, into the blue thunderbomb, cover by Zayn for the win, kick out by Orton.
17:14That was so smart from Sami Zayn, never confront the Viper, head to head, approach from behind, impossible.
17:23Sami did everything right there, but Randy's just too tough.
17:30You know Sami's on this personal mission to finally get over the line and win a world title.
17:35This will get him one step closer, but tonight, he's on a mission on behalf of these people.
17:40Orton in the corner, Sami Zayn has Randy Orton in his sights, could be halluba kick time for the win.
17:46Sami Zayn looking to advance to the rumble, it's Rick Williams.
17:52Intercepts, cover, Sami's got a kick out.
17:56Nice leg, Larry, and therein lies the issue in a fatal four way.
18:00When you're locked in an opponent, there's always someone fresh waiting in the wings.
18:05Priest with a couple of well-placed boots.
18:09Now Damian Priest taking the fight outside.
18:12Priest knows quite clearly, he's gonna take down two of these men, leave one person in the room, but his
18:18back may have been broken on that impact.
18:23Booking right on the top of that security barrier.
18:31Meanwhile, look out, Sami Zayn over the top and down goes Trick.
18:35That was a heavy landing for Sami Zayn in the process, but Trick caught all of that on the top
18:41of the head.
18:43And Sami now, he don't wanna be there, not with the Viper, not in front of the announce table.
18:49Tasted these before.
18:51Sami then, though, lands on his feet and gives Randy Orton a little of his own medicine.
18:58Nice maneuverability there from Sami Zayn, who is refusing to be denied tonight.
19:03Meanwhile, back in the ring, it's Priest and Sami.
19:09An exploder in the corner and take two, Cole.
19:12And this is where you have to strike.
19:15Two men down, one man left in the ring.
19:17Sami looking for the hook.
19:18Oh, the cock!
19:19That's it!
19:20Sami is going to the Wild Rumble!
19:23It's Rick Williams, the official Ryan's fan.
19:26So, so smart.
19:28Was never gonna get in there to break up the count, pull the ref out, no disqualification.
19:33You're getting so wise behind his ears, Wade.
19:37Come on!
19:38You know better than that!
19:39Come on!
19:40Yeah, I know.
19:40Don't pull me like that!
19:42You gotta break the blame, you gotta break it!
19:44You gotta break it!
19:46That's the fourth wave!
19:48And then while Sami Zayn delivers, there's a match going on, but one runs into a right hand.
19:54And now, Randy Orton with Trent Williams!
19:57Off the announce table!
20:00Yeah, those smarts just deserted.
20:03Trent Williams turning his back on the Viper for two!
20:06Williams again!
20:07Again!
20:12And now it's Randy Orton's turn to take Sami Zayn up and down!
20:18And this is devastatingly effective for the Viper here!
20:22And Priest to the table!
20:24Three bodies wiped out!
20:29And now Randy Orton can choose his victim at will!
20:35Randy's in a mood, isn't he?
20:37Randy's locked in on getting that opportunity against WWE champ Drew McIntyre.
20:44Look out!
20:44Randy has just not finished here.
20:49Trent Williams gonna go for another ride!
20:57When is enough Randy?
21:07And now Orton into the ring, Trent Williams wisely rolling out of harm's way, I don't blame him.
21:13And this is a disaster area now!
21:16Sami Zayn looking for the blue thunder bomb again!
21:18Randy went for the RKO!
21:20Sami scoops him off cover!
21:22Kicked by Orton!
21:25It's such fine margins between victory and defeat at this stage!
21:29And that may have wiped out the shoulder of Randy Orton, who has had numerous shoulder issues throughout his career!
21:36Yeah, posted himself as Sami Zayn now, heads out to the apron!
21:43The hometown crowd of Montreal, electric tonight for their hero Sami Zayn.
21:50Sami Zayn looking to send these people home,
21:52elated with a major victory here tonight in this one, and that could be nine.
22:00Sami rolls,
22:01uh-oh, over for the RKO, Sami blocked!
22:05Man, that was close.
22:06Yeah, rough landing for Orton too in the process.
22:09And it may be followed up by something much, much worse.
22:14Randy trying to drag himself to the corner, but he doesn't wanna be there.
22:17Randy has no idea what's going on as Sami Zayn is perched and ready.
22:28RKO!
22:29Out of nowhere!
22:31And Trent's gonna steal it!
22:32Cover by Williams!
22:35Damien Priest!
22:36Damien Priest breaks it up!
22:39Trent Williams, talk about ring IQ!
22:42Yeah, I called him a vulture earlier.
22:44That was an ultimate vulturism from Trent Williams, and it was so close to working.
22:50If you're gonna steal a move, that's the one to steal.
22:53But Damien Priest, with pinpoint timing, keeping this match alive.
22:58Man, what an incredible atmosphere tonight.
23:00Nearly 13,000 on hand at the Bell Center in Montreal for Saturday night's main event.

23:20Much high stakes, and now Priest and Shrek again in the main event last night on SmackDown.
23:28Opportunities like this do not come along very often.
23:32It's one of those ones you will always regret if it sleds through your fingers, and Randy is in no
23:38mood to allow that.
23:39Randy Orton!
23:45Double!
