00:14Then, now, forever.
00:41This is the cradle of Italian Liberty, Turin, Italy.
00:46Over 12,000 WWE fans are expected for
00:51Clash in Italy.
00:53You look at this card tonight, it is a WrestleMania-worthy card.
00:59Rhea, bloody, Ripley defends her goal against the former champion, Jane Cargill.
01:07Riptide connects!
01:09BFAP puts Jane's leg on the bottom rope.
01:13The queen!
01:14Jane's gonna steal this thing!
01:17Turnabout is fair play!
01:21Ripley with pain!
01:22Ripley and Charlotte were able to put their animosities aside tonight.
01:28Gunther, Cody Rhodes for the championship.
01:33I'm gonna choke you out!
01:35I'm gonna take this precious prize with me!
01:39And this is what Cody had to avoid!
01:42The American Nightmare looks like he's starting to fade!
01:46Cody got his foot on the bottom rope!
01:49Gunther trying to solve the American Nightmare.
01:52Ducks underneath!
01:53Cody with a sneaker out of his own!
01:55Gunther able to create space!
01:57Cody!
01:58Connor!
01:58There!
01:59Crossroads!
02:03Cody Rhodes got him!
02:05Cody Rhodes retains the title!
02:08Gunther immediately began protesting.
02:11Clearly his foot was under the bottom rope.
02:15I don't believe Angler should have even began the count.
02:20One, two, three, four.
02:22For only the third time in history, Friday Night Smackdown has come to Italy!
02:28This is one of Italy's largest cities, Bologna.
02:31And tonight, WWE is in Unipol Arena, where WWE fans are excited to continue the road to Night of Champions.
02:50And tonight, the journey to the King of the Ring continues.
02:54First round, Fatal 4-Way matchups from Monday Night Raw.
02:57Dominic Mysterio and Divisions' Braun Breaker.
03:00SmackDown's Tripp Williams and Damian Priest, who advances tonight.
03:04And on the women's side of things, first round Fatal 4-Way action in the Queen of the Ring Tournament.
03:10From Raw, Bayley and Judgment Day's Raquel Rodriguez.
03:13From SmackDown, J.C. Jane and Kiana James, live tonight.
03:19And you are looking live at a jam-packed Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy.
03:25Helga, everybody, at ringside.
03:26I'm Michael Cole, filling in for Joe Tessitore.
03:29He's off doing Super Boxing this weekend.
03:30Of course, Wade Barrett here as well.
03:33Man, what a magical tour it has been so far in Europe.
03:37And I'm gonna say something, Cole, I guarantee these fans here tonight, in Bologna.
03:41Oh, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:46Man, what do I want?
03:49The Ring General Gunther is out here destroying the Italian commentator's table, throwing furniture everywhere.
03:59Yeah, back off, back off.
04:01And now ripping apart our announce desk.
04:04Obviously furious after the results of Sunday.
04:09I mean, he's every right to be aggrieved, and he's gonna vent his spleen now, I believe.
04:18Nothing happened to you today before I get what I want.
04:26I want justice for what happened to me at Clash in Italy.
04:34You all saw it?
04:35I am the greatest professional wrestler in the world.
04:38I got ring awareness like nobody else before.
04:42And I intentionally put my foot underneath that rope.
04:46And when that foot is underneath there, that pitfall cannot be counted.
04:51The ref knows that.
04:53Cody knows that.
04:55And that means Cody didn't beat me.
04:57Cody took advantage of that, and he cheated.
05:07Cody took away what's rightfully mine, so here we are.
05:13I'm standing here in front of you, without the WWE Championship.
05:17And Golden Boy can carry on kissing everybody's butt around there.
05:26So Cody, look at me.
05:29I know, you and I both know.
05:36You can look him in the eyes in a minute, Gunther.
05:52You destroyed my- my desk!
05:53In the day of the quest, and I表 Lyle in venison.
05:58Yeah!
06:04You destroyed my- my desk!
06:14Oh
06:46Oh
07:14Oh
07:46Oh
08:23Gunther
08:25Oh, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but
08:29You're right
08:31Yeah
08:33I mean, you're
08:54You're right
08:55Your foot was under the rope
08:57But you're a 20 year pro
09:00Have you never had a controversial inning
09:04That shorts you on the winnings before
09:06And you're out here and you're all big mad
09:08Big mad with your
09:09Your clodhoppers all over Cole and Wade's desk
09:12All upset
09:13Yelling at these people
09:15Yelling at these people
09:16Tearing stuff up
09:18Hey
09:20You're a student of this game
09:21You're a pro
09:22So you'll understand this reference
09:23Sometimes you're the hero
09:25And you save all the little piggies
09:28From the cold-blooded sausage maker
09:30And other times, Gunther
09:32You are the cold-blooded sausage maker
09:34And when it comes to you and I
09:36I know which one I am
09:38But hey, we don't need to do this whole formal colloquy right now
09:43Let's just go ahead and say it
09:44It's Friday night
09:46The lights are bright
09:47Like you said, I only need to make one phone call
09:51And I don't even think I need to make it
09:52If you want to do this
09:54A rematch for the WWE Championship
09:57Let's do it
09:58Right here in Bologna
10:00Let's do it
10:15Let's do it
10:19Let's do it
10:47First of all
10:48I have to say
10:49Grazie
10:52Grazie to all
10:53My Ride or Die fans
10:56Here in Italia
10:59That's the kind of respect
11:01That I have been looking for
11:03And I appreciate it
11:05I do
11:06I really do
11:18And listen, I tried
11:19I really was trying to just stay back there
11:22And do the right thing
11:23And don't get involved
11:25Let these guys deal with their business
11:27I was trying
11:29But at a certain point
11:30I can't hear this anymore
11:32Because Gunther is out here
11:35Complaining
11:37Complaining about getting robbed
11:39For a World Championship opportunity
11:40Trust me, pal
11:41I know how that feels
11:43I do
11:46And then we got Cody Rhodes
11:48Of course
11:49Golden Boy
11:51He's ready to fight
11:53He's ready to go right now
11:54What else is new?
11:56But the two of you seem to be ignoring the fact
11:58That both of you did me wrong
12:05You know what, Sammy?
12:07This is WWE Championship business
12:09It doesn't involve you
12:10So do me a favor
12:12Shut up
12:13And get out of the ring
12:21You're right
12:21Gunther, you're right
12:22When it comes to the World Championship
12:24I might not know much about that
12:27I've never held the World Championship
12:28But I do know a thing or two
12:30About beating you for championships
12:34Okay, Sammy
12:35Sammy, hey
12:38I don't even know which Sammy I'm getting right now
12:41Are you the last real good guy?
12:43Are you the guy who a few weeks ago
12:45Watched the light fade from my eyes
12:47While he choked me out
12:48And you walked away from me
12:50Listen, I know that you're a good guy
12:52I do
12:52And you got the big win on Matt Cardona last week
12:55And now you want the WWE Championship
12:57The problem is, Sammy
12:59I'm a little busy right now
13:02Of course
13:03Of course
13:05I gotta tell you something, Cody
13:07This is why our friendship
13:09Is in the state it's in
13:10Because for the last few months
13:12Every time things are a little hairy here
13:14Instead of talking about it
13:16You're always blowing me off
13:17You're always looking past me
13:20You're looking to the next threat
13:22To you
13:23The next threat
13:24To your World Championship
13:25Maybe you need to realize
13:27That the biggest threat
13:28To your championship
13:28Might just be
13:30Looking you in the eyes
13:31Right now
13:38Is that so, Sammy?
13:41Hey
13:42Listen, I'm just saying
13:44You're the one who said
13:45You were going to beat Gunther
13:48And teach me a lesson
13:49Well, you beat Gunther
13:53When you want to teach me that lesson
13:59Uh-oh, Gunther from behind
14:01Gunther from behind
14:02Just shoved Cody to Sammy
14:03And now the sleeper
14:04The sleeper's in
14:06Oh, choking out the WWE champ again
14:09We've seen it time and again
14:11And, oh
14:12Sammy Zen, unlike two weeks ago
14:15Is saving Cody Rhodes
14:17Well, I don't think it has anything to do with that
14:18I think it's the point that
14:19Sammy, oh
14:21Wants a championship opportunity
14:23And upset that Gunther
14:24Was out here trying to
14:25Get ahead of him in line
14:27As Gunther now pounds away on Cody
14:29And Sammy now
14:30Dragging Gunther outside the rake
14:32And this is an all-out brawl
14:33Well, two people squabbling over
14:35Who gets the rice to take
14:36Oh!
14:37Oh, and Gunther just shoved Sammy
14:39Into the crossfire
14:40Cody Rhodes took out Sammy Zayn
14:43Oh, the second
14:43That was inadvertent
14:45Well, Cody Rhodes was saved by Sammy
14:47But then
14:48Cody cheap shot Sammy in return
14:51How's that fact?
14:54You're welcome back in
14:57Oh
14:59Where was it?
15:00Where was it?
15:01Where was it?
15:03It's gotten too far here
15:05I must not
15:28I can't believe Customs
15:29I'm gonna let you in again
15:30I told you not to bring so much moisturizer
15:33It wasn't the moisturizer
15:34The toxic TSA didn't let me in
15:37With my four emotional support cats
15:39Look at this
15:44I can smell the toxicity from here
15:47First, my cats get embarrassed in the playoffs
15:50Then Miles Garrett gets traded
15:52Miz, enough of the American sports
15:56Don't worry about that
15:57I'm gonna take care of this
15:58Right here
15:59Right now
16:01Hold on a sec
16:05Hey, don't touch that
16:07Oh, hey, the maze
16:08What are you doing in my home?
16:10Oh, you don't like people coming into your house
16:12Uninvited, do you?
16:13No, who would?
16:14Do you like people touching your things?
16:15Not particularly
16:16How about this?
16:17Family heirloom, please don't
16:19Oh, shit
16:20What about this?
16:21It's brand new, please don't
16:22Oh, my God
16:25Please don't
16:26Really don't touch that
16:30Oh, my God
16:38I've been looking all over for this
16:42Italian gelatos
16:51Wait, you better go check on
