00:00:00Now.
00:00:08Forever.
00:00:16Together.
00:00:24This is the cradle of Italian liberty.
00:00:28Current Italy, over 12,000 WWE fans are expected for class in Italy.
00:00:36You look at this card tonight, it is a WrestleMania-worthy card.
00:00:42Rhea Bloody Ripley defends her gold against the former champion,
00:00:47Jade Cargill.
00:00:50Rip time connects.
00:00:52PFAP puts Jade's leg on the bottom rope.
00:00:55The queen!
00:00:58Jade's gonna steal this thing!
00:01:00Turn him out as fair play!
00:01:04Ripley with pain!
00:01:06Ripley and Charlotte were able to put their animosities aside tonight.
00:01:11Gunther, Cody Rhodes for the championship.
00:01:15I'm gonna choke you out!
00:01:18I'm gonna take this precious prize with me!
00:01:22And this is what Cody had to avoid!
00:01:25The American Nightmare looks like he's starting to fade!
00:01:29Cody got his foot on the bottom rope!
00:01:32Ripley trying to solve the American Nightmare.
00:01:35Ducks underneath!
00:01:36Cody with a sleep all of his own!
00:01:38Gunther able to create space!
00:01:40Cody, Connor!
00:01:42Crossroads!
00:01:46Cody Rhodes got him!
00:01:48Cody Rhodes retains the title!
00:01:51Goodther immediately began protesting.
00:01:54Clearly his foot was under the bottom rope.
00:01:58I don't believe Angler should have even began the count.
00:02:03One, two, three, go!
00:02:06For only the third time in history,
00:02:08Friday Night Smackdown has come to Italy!
00:02:11This is one of Italy's largest cities, Bologna.
00:02:14And tonight, WWE is in Unipol Arena,
00:02:17where WWE fans are excited to continue the road
00:02:22to Night of Champions.
00:02:33And tonight, the journey to the King of the Ring continues.
00:02:37First round, Fatal 4-Way matchups.
00:02:39From Monday Night Raw, Dominic Mysterio,
00:02:41and Divisions, Braun Breaker.
00:02:43Smackdown's Tripp Williams and Damian Priest.
00:02:45Who advances tonight?
00:02:47And on the women's side of things,
00:02:49first round, Fatal 4-Way action
00:02:51in the Queen of the Ring tournament.
00:02:53From Raw, Bayley, and Judgment Days,
00:02:55Raquel Rodriguez.
00:02:56From Smackdown, JC, Jane, and Kiana James.
00:03:00Live tonight.
00:03:02And you are looking live at a jam-packed Unipol Arena
00:03:06in Bologna, Italy.
00:03:08Helga, everybody, at ringside.
00:03:09I'm Michael Cole, filling in for Joe Tessitore
00:03:11who's off doing Super Boxing this weekend.
00:03:13Of course, Wade Barrett here as well.
00:03:16Man, what a magical tour it has been so far in Europe.
00:03:20And I'm gonna say something, Cole,
00:03:21I guarantee these fans here tonight,
00:03:23in Bologna.
00:03:24Oh, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:03:30What do I want?
00:03:32The- the ring general, Gunther, is out here destroying
00:03:36the Italian commentator's table, throwing furniture everywhere.
00:03:42Back off, back off.
00:03:44And now ripping apart our announce desk,
00:03:48obviously furious after the results of Sunday.
00:03:52I mean, he's every right to be aggrieved,
00:03:54and he's gonna vent his spleen now, I believe.
00:04:01Nothing happened to you tonight before I get what I want.
00:04:09I want justice for what happened to me at Clash in Italy.
00:04:17You all saw it?
00:04:18I am the greatest professional wrestler in the world.
00:04:21I got ring awareness like nobody else before.
00:04:25And I intentionally put my foot underneath that rope.
00:04:29And when that foot is underneath there,
00:04:31that pitfall cannot be counted.
00:04:34The ref knows that.
00:04:36Cody knows that.
00:04:38And that means Cody didn't beat me.
00:04:40Cody took advantage of that, and he cheated.
00:04:50Cody took away what's right from mine.
00:04:54So here we are.
00:04:56I'm standing here in front of you,
00:04:58without the WWE Championship,
00:05:00and Golden Boy can carry on kissing everybody's butt around here.
00:05:09So, Cody, look at me.
00:05:12I know.
00:05:13You and I both know.
00:05:19You can look him in the eyes in a minute, Gunther.
00:05:47You destroyed my desk.
00:08:14Yeah.
00:08:16I mean, you're...
00:08:37You're right.
00:08:39Your butt was under the rope.
00:08:41But you're a 20-year pro.
00:08:44Have you never had a controversial inning that shorts you on the winnings before?
00:08:49And you're out here and you're all big mad, big mad with your clodhoppers all over Cole and Wade's desk,
00:08:55all upset, yelling at these people, yelling at these people, tearing stuff up.
00:09:02Hey, you're a student of this game, you're a pro, so you'll understand this reference.
00:09:06And sometimes you're the hero, and you save all the little piggies from the cold-blooded sausage maker.
00:09:13And other times, Gunther, you are the cold-blooded sausage maker.
00:09:17And when it comes to you and I, I know which one I am.
00:09:21But hey, we don't need to do this whole formal colloquy right now.
00:09:26Let's just go ahead and say it.
00:09:28It's Friday night.
00:09:29The lights are bright.
00:09:31Like you said, I only need to make one phone call, and I don't even think I need to make
00:09:35it.
00:09:35If you want to do this, a rematch for the WWE Championship, let's do it right here in Bologna.
00:09:43Let's do it.
00:09:46Let's do it.
00:09:48Let's do it.
00:09:51Let's do it.
00:09:58Let's do it.
00:10:02Let's do it.
00:10:07Let's do it.
00:10:30First of all, I have to say grazie.
00:10:35Grazie to all my Ride or Die fans here in Italia.
00:10:43That's the kind of respect that I have been looking for, and I appreciate it.

00:11:04Let's do it.
00:11:09Let's do it.
00:11:37Let's do it.
00:11:40you seem to be ignoring the fact that both of you did me wrong you know what Sammy this is
00:11:51WWE
00:11:51championship business it doesn't involve you so do me a favor shut up and get out of the ring
00:12:04you're right Gunther you're right when it comes to the world championship
00:12:08I might not know much about that I've never held the world championship but I do know a thing or
00:12:13two
00:12:14about beating you for championships okay Sammy hey I don't even know which Sammy I'm getting right now
00:12:24are you the last real good guy are you the guy who a few weeks ago watched the light fade
00:12:29from my eyes
00:12:30while he choked me out and you walked away from me listen I know that you're a good guy I
00:12:36do
00:12:36and you got the big win on Matt Cardona last week and now you want the WWE championship
00:12:40the problem is Sammy I'm a little busy right now of course of course I'm gonna tell you something
00:12:50Cody this is why our friendship is in the state it's in because for the last few months every time
00:12:56things are a little hairy here instead of talking about it you're always blowing me off
00:13:01you're always looking past me you're looking to the next threat to you the next threat to your world championship
00:13:09maybe you need to realize that the biggest threat to your championship
00:13:12might just be looking you in the eyes right now
00:13:22is that so Sammy hey listen I'm just saying you're the one who said you were going to beat Gunther
00:13:31and teach me a lesson well you beat Gunther when you want to teach me that lesson
00:13:43uh-oh Gunther from behind just shoved Cody to Sammy and now the sleeper the sleeper's in
00:13:50oh choking out the WWE champ again we've seen it time and again oh Sammy Zen unlike two weeks ago
00:13:58is saving Cody Rhodes well I don't think it has anything to do with that I think it's the point
00:14:03that Sammy oh wants a championship opportunity and upset that Gunther was out here trying to
00:14:09get ahead of him in line as Gunther now pounds away on Cody and Sammy now dragging Gunther outside the
00:14:15race and this is an all-out brawl two people squabbling over who gets the rice they take oh oh
00:14:20and
00:14:21Gunther just shoved Sammy into the crossfire Cody Rhodes took out Sammy Zane hold on second that was
00:14:28inadvertently well Cody Rhodes was saved by Sammy that then Cody cheap shot Sammy in return how's that fair

00:19:39accompanied by
00:19:41Fallon Henley

00:19:44represented
00:19:44fatal influence
00:19:46J.C. Jane
00:19:51well much like Raquel Rodriguez
00:19:54it appears that J.C. Jane
00:19:55will go it alone
00:19:56in this matchup
00:19:57here tonight
00:19:58we are joined at ringside
00:19:59by our Italian announcers
00:20:01Mikaela Poza
00:20:02and Luca Franci
00:20:22why didn't we think of
00:20:23waving like that
00:20:25go on Michael Cole
00:20:26you're the expert
00:20:26translate what they just
00:20:28said please
00:20:28no idea
00:20:29alright
00:20:29I can translate this
00:20:30you're looking at a future
00:20:31women's champion here
00:20:33on Friday Night Smackdown
00:20:34oh yes
00:20:35and you know what
00:20:36Michael Cole
00:20:36should things go well
00:20:37in the Queen of the Ring
00:20:39tournament
00:20:39that moment could come
00:20:41at the main event
00:20:42of SummerSlam
00:20:43for J.C. Jane
00:20:45of course
00:20:45the winner of the Queen
00:20:47of the Ring tournament
00:20:47gets their opportunity
00:20:49at goal
00:20:50this summer
00:20:51the finals of the Queen
00:20:53of the Ring
00:20:53will take place
00:20:54three weeks from tomorrow
00:20:55at night of champions
00:20:57in Riyadh
00:21:05and there
00:21:06accompanied by
00:21:08Julia
00:21:09from Sioux City, Iowa
00:21:11Kiana James
00:21:25well apparently Wade
00:21:28Kiana James is not going to follow suit
00:21:30she is bringing Julia to the ring with her tonight
00:21:35interesting considering that fatal four way rules are the first woman to gain pinfall as submission wins and there are
00:21:40no countouts or disqualifications
00:21:43well Kiana James is undoubtedly a mega brain and that is about the smartest move that anyone has pulled off
00:21:50thus far tonight on Smackdown
00:21:52bring a little assistance to the ring with you to reinforce your opportunities of winning this match and progressing through
00:22:00to that semi-final against Dio Sky
00:22:02maybe Julia
00:22:03maybe Julia should have had the same strategy Monday night on Raw
00:22:06maybe Julia should have had the same strategy Monday night on Raw when she was involved in the fatal four
00:22:07way Kiana James is not out at ringside
00:22:09Julia would not advance in that matchup won by Eo Sky
00:22:13well here's what you do in this game you learn from mistakes and clearly Kiana James has learned from the
00:22:19mistakes of Julia and is now looking to go one better than Julia with progress this evening
00:22:25one of these four women will advance in this tournament looking to join three women who have made history over
00:22:30the past few years
00:22:31Alina Vega, Nia Jax and Jade Cargill who is the defending queen of the ring tournament winner
00:22:41the referee in this matchup Daphne LaShawn rings the bell and we are underway
00:22:45I spoke to Bailey earlier today and she talked a lot about what you mentioned earlier Wade
00:22:49the fact that one of the few things she hasn't accomplished in her career is winning the queen of the
00:22:57ring tournament
00:22:59she said that she still has her her mind trying to win the women's tag team titles with her partner
00:23:05Lyra Valkyrie
00:23:06who is also in this tournament but Bailey said she would love to win this and get to Summerslam
00:23:10and battle for a world title
00:23:12well the strategy right off the bat is obvious
00:23:15three women looking to attack the powerhouse
00:23:19Raquel very early on and take her down
00:23:22she clearly seen as the big threat in this match
00:23:24well it's great strategy and we saw this
00:23:26early on in the matchup on Monday Night Raw that involved Oba Femi
00:23:30the other three competitors trying to do the same thing to Oba
00:23:33and now Raquel's been taken out of the equation at least momentarily
00:23:37and Bailey with a back elbow
00:23:39to JC Jane sends
00:23:41Keanu James outside to the apron
00:23:43well Bailey the big veteran in this one looking to
00:23:46Bailey to Bailey quickly out of the box
00:23:48looking for a quick win here
00:23:50and a kick out by Jane at two
00:23:52Bailey almost stole one quickly
00:23:58clearly the fan favorite tonight is Bailey looking to crush the confidence
00:24:02of the three other women in this matchup in the early goings
00:24:06and once again taking down Raquel
00:24:08and again Raquel Rodriguez down outside the ring as Wade mentioned
00:24:11Keanu James from behind roll up a Bailey and a kick out
00:24:14Keanu James who I've said on a number of occasions
00:24:16jackknife cover now by Bailey in a kick out
00:24:19I believe Keanu one of the most underrated
00:24:21Superstars on the rosters today
00:24:23well there's no doubt about that
00:24:24and there have been some
00:24:25backslide
00:24:26between Keanu James and Julia
00:24:29but that all appears to be smoothed over now
00:24:31look at this
00:24:32double stacked that time by JC Jane who almost stole one
00:24:36JC Jane's taking on some of the best since arriving on SmackDown
00:24:39including the likes of Charlotte and Rhea
00:24:42bloody Ripley picking up some major wins
00:24:45great leapfrog by Keanu
00:24:47Bailey rolls through it right into a right
00:24:49and a right by Keanu
00:24:51Bailey
00:24:52back into the mix
00:24:53and here's Raquel Rodriguez
00:24:55with a cross body wiping everybody out
00:24:58and that's why Raquel Rodriguez
00:25:00I believe is the favorite here tonight
00:25:12and now Raquel Rodriguez dominating stomping away in the corner
00:25:16yeah this was always going to be the likelihood in this match
00:25:19at some point Raquel would get the upper hand
00:25:22and what we're seeing now was inevitably going to ensue
00:25:27and Raquel Rodriguez slowing down the pace using her power
00:25:31one of the reasons that Liv Morgan
00:25:34has relied on her throughout much of a
00:25:36her reign as champion in Judgment Day
00:25:39looking to make up for Roxanne
00:25:41losing out in her Queen of the Ring first round match this past Monday on Raw
00:25:45you were ringside for that one
00:25:47and that did not go well with the Judgment Day
00:25:49yeah Roxanne Perez did not advance
00:25:52Liv Morgan's in the tournament as well
00:25:53as Bailey's taking the fight to Raquel
00:25:56Bailey form a multiple time
00:25:59women's champion whipped into the corner
00:26:01yeah one way to separate a shoulder right there
00:26:04Bailey might never be the same again
00:26:06after that impact from Raquel
00:26:07and Raquel is just running riot now
00:26:10and nobody can stop her
00:26:13yeah
00:26:15Raquel Rodriguez with elbow after elbow
00:26:18dropping JC Jane in the corner
00:26:20and Yana James is going to try her fair
00:26:22and you just sense that that early
00:26:24three on one attack against Raquel
00:26:27has simply fired Raquel up
00:26:28and Bailey
00:26:30saves the matchup breaking up the near fall
00:26:37you basically got three women playing defense against Raquel now
00:26:42and nothing they are trying seems to be working
00:26:45and Rodriguez going to you send
00:26:47Keanu James into the corner
00:26:49snake eyes off the top turnbuckle
00:26:51now JC sent outside the ring
00:26:53and Raquel and Bailey
00:26:54and Raquel sent over the top rope
00:26:56to the floor
00:27:00and Bailey
00:27:01ripped out of the ring
00:27:03as we want to remind everyone
00:27:05that tomorrow

00:27:20Ryan the bruiser Riziki
00:27:21oh
00:27:23JC with a right hand
00:27:37what a fatal four way matchup
00:27:39to determine who ends the semifinals
00:27:40of the queen of the ring tournament
00:27:43but it has basically been the Raquel show
00:27:45for the past several minutes
00:27:46but the tide may be turning
00:27:48Bailey driving Raquel
00:27:50shoulder first to the steps
00:27:52and that's what Bailey and Keanu
00:27:54and JC Jane had to do
00:27:57they had to turn this into a triple threat
00:28:00because Raquel was just tearing everyone apart
00:28:03and JC Jane
00:28:05the former NXT champ
00:28:07may be about to capitalize and win this thing

00:29:35Kiana James
00:29:35she knows very well indeed
00:29:37cross pass
00:29:37many times in NXT
00:29:39and clearly
00:29:40Kiana has a trick or two
00:29:42up her sleeve
00:29:43the leader of Fatal Influence
00:29:45and indeed Bailey
00:29:46yeah
00:29:47tremendous athlete

00:29:50to the post
00:29:50that rolling cannonball that time
00:29:52by JC Jane
00:29:53into the other corner
00:29:54real nice turn of speed there
00:29:56from JC Jane

00:29:58Raquel Rodriguez
00:29:59with a massive shoulder tackle
00:30:01sending uh

00:30:04look for that sunset flip bomb
00:30:07and Raquel Rodriguez
00:30:08strikes both women into the corner
00:30:10Bailey just lost grip
00:30:11at the wrong moment
00:30:12there of Kiana
00:30:12is now paying the price
00:30:14and there's that
00:30:15corkscrew
00:30:16splash by Raquel
00:30:17covering both women
00:30:19and a kick out
00:30:20now what a statement
00:30:21that would have been
00:30:23pure dominance
00:30:24from Raquel
00:30:30you had to believe Wade
00:30:31it was just a matter of time
00:30:33before Raquel Rodriguez
00:30:35took control of this match
00:30:36yeah this is the second time
00:30:38she's really gained some momentum
00:30:39you get Raquel down
00:30:40for a window
00:30:41you have to maximize it
00:30:43and win the match
00:30:44cause you know full well
00:30:45Raquel ain't gonna stay down for long
00:30:47Raquel has come so close
00:30:49in the past
00:30:50in winning a world championship
00:30:53the best way to get another opportunity
00:30:55win the queen of the ring tournament
00:30:56and head to Summerslam
00:30:57to battle for a world title
00:30:59oh could you imagine
00:31:00both world titles
00:31:01being inside the Judgment Day clubhouse
00:31:05what a spectacle that would be
00:31:06so you're saying if Raquel wins
00:31:08she wouldn't go after Liv
00:31:08of course she wouldn't
00:31:10whoa
00:31:10she would go after Rhea Ripley
00:31:12or whoever else
00:31:13have the WWE Women's Championship
00:31:15but
00:31:15and now barely
00:31:17a long ways to go
00:31:19before we get there for Raquel
00:31:20but that's starting to inch nearer
00:31:23and nearer
00:31:23Raquel Rodriguez is just tossing bodies
00:31:26around the ring
00:31:27oh look at this Cole
00:31:28double chokeslam by Rodriguez
00:31:31again gonna try to pin both women
00:31:33Keanu James

00:31:38all four women down
00:31:39who's advancing to the queen
00:31:41of the ring tournament semifinals
00:31:47Wade right here
00:31:48we're at a critical point in this matchup
00:31:51who is gonna build momentum
00:31:52remember
00:31:53it's first women a game
00:31:54pinfall or submission
00:31:55to pick up the win
00:31:56yeah this is where champions are made
00:31:59this is that crunch time
00:32:00everybody in that ring
00:32:02is hurting right now
00:32:04who can block it out the most
00:32:05and focus on the prize
00:32:07which is progress
00:32:09towards the semifinal
00:32:11of the queen of the ring tournament
00:32:12I do want to go back to a point
00:32:13you made moments ago
00:32:14you're saying if Raquel wins this tournament
00:32:16that she's automatically gonna go after
00:32:18the WWE Women's Champion
00:32:19from Friday Night Smackdown
00:32:21maybe she wants to prove that she's the leader
00:32:23of the Judgment Day
00:32:23maybe she's gonna take on Liv Morgan
00:32:25yeah I'm not surprised that you're trying to stir the part
00:32:28you know the last person who did that in the Judgment Day
00:32:30Finn Balor
00:32:31look at him now
00:32:32look what happened to
00:32:34Damian Priest
00:32:35look what happened to Rhea
00:32:36bloody Ripley
00:32:37attitudes like that do not belong inside the Judgment Day clubhouse
00:32:41they get booted out real fast
00:32:42so watch your mouth Michael Cole
00:32:45and now JC Jane looking for a sleeper
00:32:47on Raquel Rodriguez
00:32:48how impressive has JC been in this match tonight
00:32:50but she's slung to the mat
00:32:52yeah it's a huge mountain to climb to drop Raquel
00:32:56just such overwhelming force coming back in the other direction
00:33:00and now the veteran
00:33:01Naus of Bayley picking her spot
00:33:03and looking for a weak spot on the massive Raquel

00:33:34backing up some newcomers here on SmackDown
00:33:36and Raw
00:33:37but now looking to
00:33:38extend and progress her own career

00:33:43Raquel Rodriguez by the way
00:33:44the only woman in this match
00:33:46that has any type of
00:33:47OH!
00:33:49experience in the Queen of the Ring tournament
00:33:51Bayley now
00:33:51stacks up JC Jane
00:33:54grabs the bottom rope
00:33:55and kicks out at the same time
00:34:10Kiana James into a cover on Bayley
00:34:12and a kick out
00:34:14oh it's crunch time now
00:34:15believe me
00:34:16this one can end in a blink of an eye
00:34:18all four women are severely weakened
00:34:20and Raquel looking to maximize damage
00:34:23oh wow

00:34:37Raquel is just so
00:34:38well rounded
00:34:39but dropped for now
00:34:40and JC Jane could steal this
00:34:42yeah could this be
00:34:43JC's opportunity now

00:34:46with Raquel down
00:34:47once again

00:34:49and that could be a KO blow
00:34:51to the side of the jaw
00:34:53of JC Jane
00:34:54and if that wasn't
00:34:55what comes next

00:36:59encore
00:36:59Raquel Rodriguez with the

00:38:57okay
00:38:58I'm a fucking monkey
00:38:59I don't have a movie
00:39:00I don't have a movie
00:39:00Julietis ë– ï¿½elout
00:39:01Keanu James said they're done, and Julia's heard enough after being embarrassed by James here.
00:39:07Well, Keanu's been in the shadow of James, and she's finally lost it, and yeah, that relationship is firmly over.
00:39:15Keanu James claiming she's been in the shadow of Julia through all of this, and she's had enough.
00:39:41Where is he? Where is he? Oh, there you are. He's looking everywhere for you.
00:39:49Do you see what happens? Do you see what happens every time everyone said I was the bad guy because,
00:39:54oh, I watched Cody get choked out, put to sleep, and I didn't do anything about it.
00:39:58Well, what just happened? This time, I did something about it.
00:40:01I did what I usually and always do, I did the right thing, and what happens?
00:40:06Cody still finds a way to drop me, to leave me laying, and once again,
00:40:12guys like us get the short end of the stick, and now Nick Aldis wants to talk to me.
00:40:19What does he want to talk to me about? There he is, hey, Nick, you want to see me?
00:40:25Yes, I did, and I'll keep it short and sweet, Sammy. Stay out of Cody and Gunther's business.
00:40:32Stay out of their business.
00:40:34They made their business my business, Nick. What are you talking about?
00:40:38Sammy, you took a bad situation, and you made it worse.
00:40:41How did I make it worse, Nick? You're asking me to stand down to not defend myself?
00:40:45I never see you ask anybody to do that.
00:40:47Look, Sammy, frankly, I don't have time for this right now because I have an important meeting.
00:40:51Oh, once again, I'm getting blown off. You have all the time in the world for everyone else,
00:40:55you can't give me a minute? Who is so important?
00:40:57Who do you have to talk to that is so important that I can't get one minute?
00:41:02Well, if you must not.
00:41:16Sammy, we'll go ahead and put a pin in this for another time.
00:41:20Chad, thank you for coming.
00:41:28Weighed off Mask vs. Mask. Chad Gable is a hot property right now.
00:41:33Well, coming up next on Friday Night SmackDown, a battle of two massive men.
00:41:38Royce Keys takes on Tala Tonga of the MFTs up next.
00:41:49Ladies and gentlemen, Friday Night SmackDown in Bologna, Italy,
00:41:52as we take a look at what's on the menu for the WWE Podcast Network.
00:41:57Of course, R-Truth, a guest on The Undertaker's Podcast.
00:42:01Very entertaining conversation, as you may expect.
00:42:04And on Stephanie Lans, what's your story?
00:42:07The former Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch.
00:42:10All available on the WWE Podcast Network.
00:42:32The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:42:35Introducing first, accompanied by Solo Sokoa and Tama Tonga,
00:42:39from the island of Tonga, weighing in at 300 pounds,
00:42:42representing MFT, Tala Tonga!
00:42:47Now, ladies and gentlemen, this has been a long-going rivalry, including these two.
00:42:53Yeah, this was last week on SmackDown.
00:42:55A reluctant Priest and Royce Keys were tagging against MFT.
00:42:59Looking pretty damn good!
00:43:00Until Solo Sokoa got involved from the outside.
00:43:04Now, upon seeing that, R-Truth, who's not medically cleared, attempted to intervene.
00:43:10But needed saving by Royce Keys, who was also dropped in the process.
00:43:15That left Damian Priest alone to be fouled by the massive Tala T-Bomb.
00:43:21And one pin later, victory once again for MFT, who have been causing carnage in recent weeks.
00:43:29Well, there's a lot to dissect in this matchup here tonight.
00:43:32And when we look at the MFT, Solo Sokoa, Tama Tonga, and, of course, Tala Tonga,
00:43:36you've got to look back to what happened after the matchup on Sunday at Clapton, Italy,
00:43:40when Roman Reigns defeated Jacob Batu.
00:43:43And Batu would have to go on to acknowledge Roman Reigns and become a part of that bloodline.
00:43:47Solo and company were looking on in the audience.
00:43:50And you have to try to dissect what that all means.
00:43:54Yeah, well, Solo Sokoa obviously has major historical links with Jacob Batu.
00:43:59He tried to recruit him himself back into the MFTs, but was denied by Fatu.
00:44:05And you think, when you look at Solo Sokoa, he wants an army that can control the entirety of WWE.
00:44:11I would assume that includes SmackDown and Raw.
00:44:15Solo Sokoa has also tried to recruit this man.
00:44:40I am so impressed with this man, Royce Keys, and what he has been able to do
00:44:45since coming to WWE a number of months to go
00:44:48as we prepare for this battle between these two massive men, Wade.
00:44:53Yeah, you mentioned the fact that Solo Sokoa had been trying to recruit Royce Keys for several weeks now.
00:44:59They do have some history from their independent days and even prior to that.
00:45:04But those efforts have all been rebuffed by Royce Keys,
00:45:08who insists he wants to walk alone here on SmackDown.
00:45:13And thus far, it's been an incredibly successful walk on SmackDown.
00:45:18Solo Sokoa took advantage of Fatal 4-Away rules,
00:45:21even though he didn't win the matchup this past Monday when Tawatonga got involved in the first round of the
00:45:27King of the Ring Tournament.
00:45:28Let me ask you about this.
00:45:29You're Royce Keys.
00:45:30You burst on the scene here.
00:45:31I understand you want to do your thing your own way.
00:45:34You want to carve your own path.
00:45:36But the way things are heating up around here,
00:45:38wouldn't you think that you might want some backup?
00:45:40I mean, historically speaking in this game, especially at the very top level,
00:45:44the numbers game will always help you out.
00:45:47But I get it from Keys' perspective.
00:45:49He's walked alone his entire life.
00:45:51He's from the streets.
00:45:52He doesn't get intimidated easily.
00:45:55And clearly not intimidated by the almost seven foot tall Tawatonga.
00:45:59Yeah, much of the same background that Jacob Fatu had.
00:46:02And Royce Keys now with a shoulder tackle to Tawanga.
00:46:05If you're Royce Keys, how do you go into this matchup against this six foot ten monster?
00:46:11Well, it's rare for Royce Keys to be outsized by anyone in that ring.
00:46:15And quite simply, you need to chop the big man down to size in great time.
00:46:21Royce Keys trying to power up Tawatonga and not able to.
00:46:24And the clubbing blows now to the back, driving Royce Keys to his knees.
00:46:29Well, this is the first time we've seen Royce Keys meet his match
00:46:32when it comes to the power game.
00:46:34Simply didn't have the power or strength to lift up that massive body of Tawatonga.
00:46:39Royce Keys will be involved in a King of the Ring first round matchup next week
00:46:46with Jey Uso, L.A. Knight, and Finn Balor right here on Friday Night Smackdown.
00:46:51It'll be the final first round matchup for the men
00:46:53if he survives tonight, especially after that right hand by Tawatonga.
00:46:58Survive is a great word.
00:46:59That was an intriguing slugfest,
00:47:01but the size of Tawatonga was pivotal in winning that exchange.
00:47:06But keeping Royce Keys down for good is another matter entirely.
00:47:10Now Royce Keys able to duck underneath,
00:47:11and there's all that clothesline.
00:47:14A drove Tawanga back to the top rope,
00:47:16and Royce now sending Tawatonga
00:47:20over the top rope.
00:47:35And Wade, what's interesting here is some frustration being shown by Tawatonga now,
00:47:39as Royce Keys is on the attack.
00:47:44Tawatonga is an experienced competitor.
00:47:46He knows full well that kind of offense he's thrown at key so far.
00:47:49Should keep...
00:47:51But if it didn't before, it will now.
00:47:54Wow, Tawatonga.
00:47:58Sola Sokoa has a diamond in the rough in Tawatonga.
00:48:02Well, undoubtedly, Tawatonga proved pivotal in deciding several matches and brawls
00:48:08on behalf of MFT.
00:48:11Really is the key piece of the puzzle
00:48:13when it came to that rebuild back to power for Sola Sokoa.
00:48:17The official Ryan Tran in this matchup,
00:48:19trying to get both men back into the ring.
00:48:21Important matchup for both of these men tonight,
00:48:24as Keys has sent spine first into the post.
00:48:28Yeah, well, Keys does not want his momentum slowed down.
00:48:30And when it comes to Tawatonga,
00:48:33I wouldn't want to go back to the locker room
00:48:35or the office of Sola Sokoa
00:48:37and explain why I couldn't get the job done.
00:48:40So, yeah, Tawatonga,
00:48:42increasingly important here on SmackDown
00:48:45for this rebuild of Sola Sokoa.
00:48:47And this has been great strategy by Tawanga,
00:48:49trying to take out the back of Royce Keys,
00:48:51because was that due, Wade?
00:48:53It takes away this, the power game of Keys.
00:48:55And I don't know if Keys had a 100% spine right now.
00:48:59He'd be able to power up Tawatonga,
00:49:02but he keeps on trying, refusing to be denied.
00:49:05But slowly, hope is starting to fade away for the Monstar.
00:49:16Roudy crowd here tonight,
00:49:17Boronia, Italy,
00:49:18as we wrap up a week-long tour here.
00:49:21Oh, Royce Keys is centered in the corner,
00:49:24and now Tawatonga with a sidewalk slam with authority.
00:49:28And it started to look pretty damn easy for Tawatonga,
00:49:31tonga and i never thought i would say that for an opponent of royce keys and clearly solo sokoa is
00:49:37loving what he's seeing again i would love to know what is going through the mind of solo sokoa
00:49:43after what happened with jacob fatu and roman reigns this past weekend it clashed in italy and
00:49:48of course the acknowledgement ceremony monday night on raw with jacob fatu fell into line
00:49:53with the usos solo has to view that as a major album and he tried to recruit into the fold
00:50:00has
00:50:00now gone to a different group albeit rather reluctantly i suspect but nevertheless now part
00:50:09of that bloodline crew oh and again tonga just dominating right now royce keys are you surprised
00:50:20with how this has unfolded it's difficult to imagine royce keys ever being put in this position this
00:50:26early in a match but if anyone's going to do it it would have been tala tonga so therefore
00:50:31my surprise is zero
00:50:43tala tonga putting on a show here tonight he's been dominating the powerhouse royce keys
00:50:49who just didn't have enough tonga now into the cover and a kick out again tonga's been focusing
00:50:54on the lower back of royce keys which has taken the power away from keys game yeah that is the
00:51:00number
00:51:01one asset that royce keys has take away the power what else does royce keys have in the tank and
00:51:07the
00:51:08answer right now looks like very little and he might be about to get put to the soul but but
00:51:13tonga
00:51:13perhaps got a bit overzealous went for the bigger kick in the corner and got caught up and now royce
00:51:19keys with an opportunity it isn't often that royce keys is dwarfed in the ring having to block out
00:51:27that lumbar pain right now is royce keys you've got yourself an opportunity to get back into the fight
00:51:33do not let it go begging yeah these clubbing blows by keys to the front and the back
00:51:39of tala tonga tonga's rock and keys trying to knock the big man the six foot ten tala tonga off
00:51:46his feet
00:51:46keys again another collision keys trying to figure out what he needs to do tonga though
00:51:52stopping keys at least momentarily and now royce keys once again trying to lift tala tonga and not
00:52:00able to do it i think he's got to think of a different strategy that's attempt number four
00:52:03and all four have failed now simply that back is not up to lifting the massive frame of tala tonga
00:52:11it would seem and again another opportunity another opening perhaps for royce keys continues to splash
00:52:18tonga in the corner and keys now using some quickness there and that tackle will knock tonga off his feet
00:52:27and now royce keys is starting to feel it simply pounced out of his boots there was tala tonga and
00:52:34now with
00:52:34the wind in his sails it might be attempt number five keys has got him up on his shoulders wow
00:52:41what a power slam
00:52:49and keys has entered the zone solo sokoa now up on the apron
00:52:57just like he did in tag as well
00:53:01well behind the referee's back now and that'll draw keys out of the ring
00:53:06who's upset with tonga getting involved and this is where it looked like oh
00:53:12catching a flying camera tonga or it's just when royce keys had complete control of the match and
00:53:18looking back in the ring i think oh tala yes and it allowed tala tonga now to regain himself after
00:53:26the
00:53:26keys attack those distractions are going to cost royce keys that tala t-bomb by tonga the cover and the
00:53:34victory
00:53:38here is your winner tala tanga well give the assist there to solo sokoa and tama tanga yeah the
00:53:46numbers game crucial once again and royce keys insistence on standing alone on smackdown has now been
00:53:54really tested at this point as these three vultures are lurking around their victim in celebration once
00:54:03again of a massive oh here we go and solo sokoa just ordered tala tonga to assault royce keys who's
00:54:10defenseless at this point tala tonga now getting involved yeah solo sokoa saying it didn't have to
00:54:17be that way but now it looks like perhaps unwisely once again r-truth who's not medically cleared
00:54:24who was injured by the nft group several weeks ago yeah but coming out here to get himself some
00:54:29r-truth coming out the aid of royce keys who's he's allied with lately well that's three weeks in a
00:54:36row he's come out to play the savior come out to be the hero and save priest save royce keys
00:54:42and he's
00:54:42getting stumped there's a reward and meanwhile damien priest r-truth's tag team partner the tag champs
00:54:50what are you doing what are you doing what are you doing what are you doing are you crazy every
00:54:54week is the same thing stop stop no go go go no no no no priest saving our truth from
00:55:00himself
00:55:02quite smartly i would say
00:55:11but by saving our truth he's left royce keys alone and helpless and defenseless well priest to be
00:55:19fair has no loyalty to royce keys he's made that quite clear it didn't have to be like this but
00:55:25you
00:55:25miss it again the recruitment campaign continues for solo sokoa as it comes to royce keys maybe a
00:55:39little bit of tough love here tonight i'd say the dial has been turned up significantly for royce keys here
00:55:45is what you're gonna get if you don't join us in the mft group solo continues dominance
00:56:11and think about it if we both keep winning we'll face each other in the finals then one of us
