03:37Dominic looks to advance as well
03:39Lynn Morgan
03:40Will be involved in the tournament
03:41Next week
03:42Because she wants to win the whole thing

03:45Come SummerSlam
03:46Can you imagine
03:47Morgan and Dom
03:49As Queen and King of the Ring
03:50Talk about
03:51Insufferable
03:52Yes I can
03:53Talk about imagination
03:54We're in Bologna
03:55Right Michael Cole
03:56Not far from Florence
03:57It's kind of just down the road
03:58Now in Florence
03:59Is the famous
04:00Statue of David
04:02And I was thinking
04:03If you injected DNA
04:05Into the Statue of David
04:07And gave him a pair of wrestling boots
04:09What would you get?
04:10Dirty Don Mysterio
04:12The hottest man on planet Earth
04:14Isn't that the dude that's naked?
04:15Yes
04:16He looks damn good
04:17Naked as does
04:18I suspect
04:19Dirty Dominic Mysterio
04:21I'm not even going there
04:22No just
04:22You got way too far
04:24Into this conversation
04:26All right
04:27Enough
04:27Let's refocus on business
04:29Because this is very
04:30Very important
04:31Oh yeah
04:32This kind of business
04:33Is what I'm all about
04:34Michael Cole
04:35Get a room
04:36I was having a fun vacation
04:38This week
04:41Oh man
04:42I can't focus
04:42All of a sudden
04:43Where were we?
04:44What were we talking about?
04:46Oh
04:46King of the Ring
04:48First round match
04:49There we go
04:49Fatal 4-Way
04:50Are you sweating too?
04:53Because I am
04:54I'm a little flush
04:57I'm just embarrassed
05:13And their opponent
05:14From Atlanta, Georgia
05:16Playing in at 250 pounds
05:18He's one half of the world tag team champions
05:22Representing the vision
05:24Braun Breaker
05:26Breaker involved in an unbelievable match
05:29This past Monday night on Raw
05:30From Turrent Italy
05:31Against Seth Rollins
05:33And Breaker
05:33Again with his torpedo spears
05:36That went to Montez Ford
05:38But look at what Breaker did here
05:40That's his oracle
05:41Paul Heyman
05:41Breaker spearing Heyman
05:43Through the barricade
05:45Rollins would end up picking up the win
05:47Paul Heyman not here tonight
05:48He's not medically cleared
05:50To be a part of Smackdown
05:52Tonight
05:52A whole lot of misery
05:54For Braun Breaker
05:56And of course Paul Heyman
05:57One way to cheer up Paul Heyman
05:59Wherever he is right now
06:00Is expecting a hospital bed
06:03Convalescing
06:03Is for Braun Breaker
06:05To progress in this tournament
06:07Ultimately
06:08Winning King of the Ring
06:10And of course
06:11With it
06:12Securing a main event championship
06:14Opportunity in Minnesota
06:17At SummerSlam
06:23The unpredictable
06:24Badass
06:26Had a little bit of history
06:27With Dominic Mysterio
06:28As has Damian Priest
06:30Of course
06:30Damian was kicked out of
06:32The Judgment Day
06:33By Dominic and company
06:34Yeah
06:36Unceremoniously
06:37Excommunicated
06:38From the group
06:39For good
06:40And right now
06:42There might be a little backlash
06:43From Damian Priest
06:45Directed at Dirty Dom
06:47Once this thing
06:48Gets underway
07:10And from Columbia
07:12South Carolina
07:13Wing in at 240 pounds
07:16Is
07:17The United States
07:19Champion
07:21Trick
07:22Williams
07:24Listen I have to admit
07:25The King of the Ring
07:26Crowd would look good
07:27On the head of
07:28Trick Williams
07:29Oh man
07:30What would not look good
07:31On Trick Willie
07:33The current
07:34United States
07:35Champion
07:43Champion
07:43If you have a dance
07:44Like that
07:44Go
07:45That's what am I going
07:51Trick Williams just has got the industry excited in ways we have not seen in years and why not he's
07:58got charisma he's got in ring talent he's the current he's the current he's the current United States Champion.
08:05And again, fatal four-way rules in this match tonight.
08:09First band of game, pinfall or submission will pick up the win.
08:11No count outs, no disqualifications, hence the world champ, Liv Morgan.
08:16Hanging out at ringside in the corner of her boyfriend, Dominic Mysterio.
08:20And how many times in history have we had a fatal four-way match where
08:26all four competitors in the match are champions of some sort?
08:31We had a couple of separate tag champs with a-
08:33And look at this.
08:34Braun Breaker going right after Tripp Williams with a German suplex.
08:38And the match is underway.
08:40Not in a move for showboating is Braun Breaker after a disastrous Monday Night Raw.
08:46Dan Engler, the official in this match.
08:48Again, Braun Breaker, world tag team champion.
08:50Damian Priest, the WWE tag team champion.
08:53Tripp Williams, United States champion.
08:55Dominic Mysterio, AAA mega champion.
08:58And Dominic hanging outside the ring, smart, as he lets the big boys go to work.
09:02Well, just keep well away from Braun Breaker and hope he burns himself out right now.
09:07Because Braun is laser focused on physical destruction.
09:11Couple of German suplexes by Breaker.
09:13Oh.
09:14Big right hand knocks Dominic out.
09:16And now Damian Priest with a right of his own.
09:18Yeah, maybe the only physical force in there that might be able to stop the power of Breaker or maybe
09:23not.
09:23Now the breakneck speed of Breaker with the clothesline.
09:27The unpredictable badass.
09:30Braun Breaker, of course, he and Austin Theory, the world tag champs.
09:34Logan Paul and Austin with the tag champs.
09:38I don't like this at all from Braun Breaker.
09:40His triceps and now Braun Breaker.
09:43Dominic, you better turn around.
09:46Breaker with a shoulder tackle.
09:48Takes out Mysterio.
10:03I was gonna ask if you wanted to ask Braun to get off our table.
10:07I don't want to have any interaction, verbal or physical, with Braun Breaker at any point in my life.
10:14The dogs are out here tonight in Bologna.
10:23And now Trick Williams gonna send Dominic Mysterio over the Italian announce table into the floor.
10:30And Trick Willie now having fun.
10:32Hasn't been quite the night for Dominic Mysterio tonight.
10:35And Liv Morgan looks petrified next to our desk as Loverboy is in big trouble, but Loverboy is fighting back.
10:42Dominic now a big shot to Trick Williams and Mysterio taking the fight now as he sends Williams back toward
10:50the ring.
10:51There's action everywhere.
10:52You look in this one and Liv Morgan causing chaos at ringside.
10:55What a priest taking flight too.
10:59You know, we do make a lot of fun with Dominic Mysterio, but he's been a hell of a champion.
11:05As the Dirty Dom chants, Serenade Mysterio.
11:11And now, Damian Priest, who still has a score to settle with Dominic in the rest of Judgment Day.
11:17Dominic suddenly doesn't look so tough without his Judgment Day back up here.
11:22And one-on-one, Priest just decimating Dirty Dom.
11:26Dirty Dom who claims he's the King of the Luchadores.
11:29El Grande Americano may think something about that.
11:35There's that flying elbow by Priest, the former world champion.
11:40Again, this is to advance of the King of the Ring tournament.
11:44The finals take place three weeks from tomorrow, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at Night of Champions.
11:49And think about the 25th King of the Ring of all time will be crowned at Night of Champions.
11:56Well, if you're somebody in your career who needs a little juice, a Damian Priest who is a former world
12:04champion.
12:05Oh, listen to those chops.
12:07Or the three other men in this match, none of whom have won a world title previously.
12:12What an opportunity this tournament really is.
12:15Over the years, 11 King of the Ring winners would go on to become world champions.
12:20The likes of Booker T and Sheamus and Kurt Angle, Austin and Triple H.
12:2412 WWE Hall of Famers were King of the Ring.
12:30In fact, the gentleman sitting to my right, a former King in his own right, King Barrett.
12:35Yeah, one of the biggest honors of my career.
12:38But the deal today is so much sweeter with that SummerSlam main event championship opportunity on the line.
12:45The King of the Ring tournament has never been bigger.
12:51Everybody wants an opportunity at a world title in Minnesota at SummerSlam.
12:57Win King of the Ring and you're going to get it.
12:59Break or sit out of the ring.
13:11Tremendous action here on Friday Night SmackDown.
13:14Fatal four way to determine who heads to the semifinals to face Oba Femi in the King of the Ring
13:19tournament.
13:20Again, to Judgment Day, a former member Damian Priest, current member Dominic Mysterio working together.
13:26Working together.
13:27Maybe Damian Priest is falling in line behind the new male leader at the, maybe not.
13:35And Damian with a big right hand, down goes Dominic Mysterio.
13:39Damian Priest just using Dirty Dom for his skills.
13:43Taking out the rest of the field and maybe about to put Dom away, but Trick really arriving in.
13:49And now Breaker, how quick is Breaker?
13:51But he just ran into a boot spin kick now by Priest, caught Breaker on the other side.
13:55No finer striker in the game than Damian Priest, got all the range, all the precision and, of course, all
14:01of that power.
14:02Former Mr. Money in the Bank over world champion.
14:07I mean, resume alone, he is the favorite for this one, the only one who's been to the very top
14:11of the mountain here in this industry previously.
14:14Yeah, but I think the other three have an opportunity to be world champs one day.
14:17No doubt about that.
14:19And now Priest again, going after Mysterio, and Dominic with a forearm to the jaw.
14:25Priest with a kick, turns Dom inside out.
14:31Priest just bleeding confidence right now.
14:35You know, Wade and I were talking about the importance of this tournament over the years.
14:4011 winners would go on to become world champions. 12 Hall of Famers have been King of the Ring.
14:46Really is a way to fast track your career to the very top.
14:50And there's plenty of men in this ring right now want to do just that, including Breaker.
14:54Breaking Steiner.
14:55Jeez.
14:56Cover by Breaker.
14:58Dominic breaking things up.
15:00Last year's winner, Cody Rhodes.
15:02Gunther won two years ago.
15:04The first ever King of the Ring, the Hall of Famer, Don Morocco, back in 1985.
15:16Now Braun turned his attention, and look at the power.
15:20Breaker now, military press, turns it into a slam.
15:23Cover on Mysterio.
15:25This time Trick Williams has to break things up.
15:28What a power thrown out by Breaker there, and Trick Williams had to have pinpoint timing on that one.
15:34Almost slipping away from him.
15:37Wade, again, you were King of the Ring.
15:38How important was that to you in your career?
15:41Well, it was massive for me to get that crown, but it's even bigger today.
15:47Believe me, with that main event at SummerSlam dangling there, a world championship opportunity for the winner,
15:54as well as the crown, never been bigger than it is right now.
15:58What you wouldn't have given to have that opportunity the year that you won.
16:01Yeah, exactly.
16:02The one thing missing in my career could have been that moment.
16:05That is why it's so imperative for all four of these men to get the top here.
16:10And look at Trick Willie go.
16:13Trick Willie with those cyclone boots connecting.
16:19And now Willie takes out Mysterio as Damian ducks out of the way.
16:24Neckbreaker by Trick Williams.
16:25Well, Trick Willie on a hot streak at the right time in this one.
16:30Who's that team?
16:33Who's that team?
16:35Who's that team?
16:36Who's that team?
16:36Who's that team?
16:36And Bologna believes in Trick Williams.
16:40Who's that team?
16:40United States champion.
16:43Who's that team?
16:44Who's that team?
16:47Little bookend action.
16:49Cover on Breaker.
16:51And a kickout.
16:53And I talk all the time of comparisons between this man, Trick Williams,
16:56and a former world champion, former king of the ring, Booker T.
16:59Yeah, there's a sense of inevitability when it comes to Trick Williams
17:03getting to the top of this industry.
17:06It's going to happen, but how soon is the question?
17:09And now Priest into the corner.
17:11Williams will send him out to the apron.
17:14Damian Priest with a big kick.
17:16The martial arts background of Damian Priest coming into play.
17:19Dominic Mysterio now going to meet Priest on the ropes.
17:24Nobody knows Priest better than Dominic Mysterio
17:27and simply cut Priest off at the right time there.
17:29However, Trick Williams in the middle of it.
17:32Got some other ideas.
17:35Oh, no.
17:39Dominic begging Damian Priest.
17:47And now Breaker
17:50was going for a Brekensteiner again.
17:53Priest trying to counter.
17:54Punching the back of the knees of Breaker unique,
17:57but it simply worked perfectly.
17:59However,
18:03right up in the ropes is Breaker navigating his way out here.
18:07Yeah, dangerous situation here for Damian Priest,
18:10Williams, and Breaker with a superplex.
18:27Critical part of this matchup.
18:29Fatal four-way match to determine who will face Obafemi
18:33in the semifinals of the King of the Ring tournament.
18:36Mysterio's outside the ring.
18:38Of course, Breaker, Priest, and Trick Williams inside the ring.
18:42Well, all four men have been dropping their heavy artillery,
18:46and all four men are now moving very gingerly.
18:49But could this be the opportunity for Dominic Mysterio?
18:50Yes, it can.
18:51To be the vulture that he is
18:53and pick the bones in a kick out by Priest.
18:56Oh, it's not being a vulture,
18:57it's being smart at this point in the matchup.
18:59Cover now by Braun Breaker.
19:01You know, vultures eat dead carcasses,
19:04and that's what Dom's doing here.
19:06Cover, again, hook of the leg,
19:07and again, Williams kicks out.
19:10Exactly what you should be doing at this point in the match,
19:13finding the weakest opponent,
19:16capitalizing regardless of who caused that damage
19:18in the first place.
19:19And look at Dominic Mysterio.
19:22Can you imagine if he advances?
19:24Yes.
19:24It's a picture that I have now built up in my mind
19:28alongside Liv Morgan as the Queen of the Ring.
19:30Well, Raquel Rodriguez has already advanced,
19:33and I'm interested to see what she'll do
19:34if she wins the tournament.
19:37She'll go for Rhea Ripley
19:38or whoever holds Rhea Ripley's title.
19:41Yeah, that's what you think?
19:42That's what I know,
19:43because the Judgment Day don't stab each other in the back,
19:46or if they do, they get excommunicated rather quickly.
19:49It's like Damian Priest and Finn Balor.
19:51They weren't around to help Roxanne Perez out on Monday,
19:54were they?
19:56Oh, listen to that.
19:59Oh, goodness.
20:06And Trick just unloading on Dom.
20:18I really feel like we're at the business end of this matchup right now.
20:22You've got four bodies all ready to drop.
20:24Really isn't going to take much to win this at this point.
20:28Yeah, again, first pinfall of submission wins this thing.
20:34Dirty Dom just trying to hang on here.
20:37Oh, Roy Damian Priest,
20:38that would be the smartest strategy for Dirty Dom.
20:41Very little.
20:41He's trying to get Priest as well.
20:43He's using Dom as a teammate.
20:47Cover now by Priest.
20:49Kick out at two by Mysterio.
20:52The exhaustion starting to set in at this point of this high-stakes,
20:57fast-paced matchup.
20:59Braun Breaker's looking pretty raggedy to himself right now.
21:02He's been put through the ringer on this one,
21:04moving very slowly by Breaker's standards.
21:07Not to mention he had that war with Seth Rollins this past Monday night on Raw.
21:35Okay.
21:36It's crunch time, ladies and gentlemen.
21:38Fatal four-way match.
21:39Winner advances into the semifinals of the King of the Ring Tournament.
21:43Priest and Williams, Breaker and Mysterio.
21:45Something has to give in this match.
21:47Yeah, you've got four superstars who've all gone big right from the off,
21:51and they are all staggering in the ring right now.
21:54Physically impaired, but still motivated,
21:58desperate to get through to this semifinal of the King of the Ring Tournament.
22:01I've been impressed with Dominic Mysterio
22:03and what he's done so far in this matchup tonight.
22:06And that might have been the best thing of all, moving out of the way of that breaker spear in
22:10the corner.
22:10Yeah, but there's no way where for Dominic to go now.
22:13Went for South of Heaven did Priest.
22:15Dominic caught him with a chop.
22:16I'm not sure that was wise.
22:18Bounced off the big man, the former world heavyweight champ.
22:22And here's your...
22:25Razor's edge!
22:26And now Morgan up on the apron, wondering when she was going to come into play.
22:30Now listen, there are no disqualifications.
22:32So Morgan, nothing can happen with her being on the apron,
22:35but the official wasn't in position for the count on Mysterio.
22:39There's so much shit in this room.
22:43So Morgan paying dividends.
22:46Oh, look at the power of Breaker.
22:48Oh, that is a huge man to be throwing up in the air.
22:53And Trick Williams.
22:55Oh, and...
22:56That spinning side slam by Braun Breaker,
22:59who's just tossing men around out here.
23:01Raw power used very little momentum of Trick Williams.
23:04That is a 250-pound athlete.
23:07He just spun around through raw core strength.
23:10Didn't look pretty, but it was hella effective.
23:14Breaker runs into Mysterio.
23:16Drop kick delivered now.
23:17Has him in position.
23:21Nobody does it, Bob.
23:23Dom just doesn't do it.
23:24Damian Priest punches him in the mouth.
23:26Oh, that's the rules of the matchup.
23:28Went for that spin kick.
23:30Breaker slipped, and he still delivered a torpedo spear.
23:33And Mysterio sent out of the ring by Breaker.
23:37Williams, Trick Shot.
23:38Oh, right on the point of the jaw.
23:40Cover now on Priest, recovering from the spear.
23:43And Dominic pulls out the official,
23:45which is legal because there are no disqualifications.
23:47It's about as smart a thing as you can do once again.
23:51Was never going to get in there to make the Breaker,
23:53but Trick Williams looks infuriated.
23:57And there are consequences.
23:59Oh, Trick could have the matchup one right there.
24:01If Mysterio didn't drag Angler out of the ring.
24:05And now Breaker is going to send Williams out to the floor.
24:08Trick Williams now on our announce table.
24:11That's not where you want to be.
24:13Not at all.
24:13Braun Breaker's in town.
24:14We've seen Breaker do this before.
24:16The clothesline through Williams.
24:19The people.
24:27Braun Breaker with a flying clothesline
24:31through the United States champion.
24:33Meanwhile, inside the ring,
24:35Dominic with a dropkick to Priest.
24:37Trick Williams is a mangle wreck.
24:39It's Dominic's for the taking.
24:40Oh, and Dominic knocked out of his boots by Priest.
24:44As they slug right to the chest slash jaw of Dirty Dom,
24:51who is now...
