00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:31As summer fun arrives in New England, WWE has made its way to Providence, Rhode Island.
00:00:37The Amiga Mutual Pavilion is home to this week's Friday Night Smackdown.
00:00:42And what's been on Boyle here is everything centering on Cody Rhodes and Gunther with a recent spark from Sami
00:00:49Zayn.
00:00:53I guarantee these fans here tonight in Bologna.
00:00:56Oh, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:00:59I want justice for what happened to me as Clash and Italy.
00:01:08Intentionally put my foot underneath that rope.
00:01:12And when that foot is underneath there, that pinfall cannot be counted.
00:01:17Cody knows that.
00:01:18Gunther, I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but you're right.
00:01:24If you wanna do this, a rematch for the WWE Championship, let's do it!
00:01:34Both of you did me wrong!
00:01:37Cody, I tried to help you.
00:01:39And how did you repay me?
00:01:41You stuck me at the crossroads from behind like a knife in my back.
00:01:46You watched me get choked out like Luther.
00:01:49I know you want the WWE Championship.
00:01:52The problem is, Sami, I'm a little busy right now.
00:01:55You're always looking past me.
00:01:57You're looking to the next threat.
00:02:00Maybe you need to realize that the biggest threat to your championship might just be
00:02:04looking you in the eyes right now.
00:02:08Gunther from behind just shoved Cody to Sami.
00:02:31Is that offer for a rematch with Gunther still good?
00:02:34100% good.
00:02:35I wanted to wrestle him tonight, but I heard he left the building.
00:02:37Okay, good.
00:02:38Because I just got off the phone with his legal team.
00:02:41They're willing to accept, but he has one condition.
00:02:45Give it to me.
00:02:45What's the condition?
00:02:46Well, that's just it.
00:02:48He wants to make us wait to tell us the condition until next week.
00:03:03Okay, lay it on me.
00:03:07Have we heard from Gunther yet?
00:03:10I know this is hard to believe, but he hasn't told me anything yet.
00:03:14But he has assured me that we will find out tonight.
00:03:17Okay, we'll find out tonight.
00:03:18Well, I have beat him before.
00:03:20We're in a good place.
00:03:21It's a good night.
00:03:22Let's have a good SmackDown.
00:03:23Let's do that.
00:03:40Good to see you, dawg.
00:03:42Check this out, us.
00:03:45Tonight's my king of the ring match.
00:03:47I'm gonna win this whole tournament, Cody.
00:03:50When I do us, I'm coming after that WWE Championship.
00:03:55As SummerSlam.
00:03:57Just business, us.
00:03:59Just business.
00:04:02Jay, I hope you're right.
00:04:03Yeah.
00:04:04Jay, if anybody here deserves to chase this, it's you, but I hope it's your decision, and
00:04:14not Roman's.
00:04:21Well, Jay isn't the only one interested in advancing L.A. Knight is here to try to punch
00:04:27his ticket to the King of the Ring Tournament semifinals, only a couple of weeks away from
00:04:31the finals.
00:04:33Also in tonight's first round, Fatal 4-Way, Royce Ease, will his power play on the big
00:04:38role.
00:04:39And Ben Baller with a fresh start, a new roster, a new chance to prove as a veteran.
00:04:46It's Jay, L.A. Knight, Royce, Ben, they all need up tonight, as we've got a roaring crowd
00:04:55here in Providence.
00:04:56Glad you're with us.
00:04:56Joe and Wade.
00:04:57Great time of the year to see the King and the Queen of the Ring Tournament.
00:05:01Remember, the winners will earn a title shot at SummerSlam.
00:05:05Now, Wade, let's get everybody up to date on Rhea Ripley and the knee injury she sustained
00:05:09at Clash.
00:05:10Yeah, so the knee injury happened in Italy last week.
00:05:14Now we are evaluating the knee injury as we speak.
00:05:17And based on how that knee responds to the treatment should give us a better idea on the ETA for
00:05:23the return of Rhea Ripley.
00:05:25And obviously, we've all got our fingers crossed for a swift return for the champion.
00:05:29And let's dig into what happened last week on SmackDown as well.
00:05:34So this was on SmackDown.
00:05:36Charlotte teaming with Tiffany Stratton against Jay Cargill and Meechin.
00:05:40Now, typical underhanded tactics, including some interference on the outside from B-Fab.
00:05:46But Stratton still closing in on a victory.
00:05:49That was before Cargill showed some real pace.
00:05:51Catching Stratton with a Jaded to pick up a major victory for her team against somebody
00:05:59who is starting to be a bit of a thorn in the side of Jay Cargill and Pals.
00:06:06Excuse me, Jay Cargill.
00:06:08You are minutes away from your Queen of the Ring tournament first round match.
00:06:11As last year's Queen of the Ring winner, do you feel any pressure to repeat that performance?
00:06:16Pressure?
00:06:17Sure.
00:06:18I built a career off of pressure.
00:06:19Do we have anything to worry about, ladies?
00:06:21No, ma'am.
00:06:22Exactly.
00:06:23Because best believe if I won it once, I can win it twice.
00:06:26And last week we proved to Charlotte who the real queen is.
00:06:29And Tiffy got to see exactly what time it is when you try to cut the line.
00:06:33She got a taste of what happens when you mess with the future.
00:06:36Two time Queen of the Ring.
00:06:39Rhea, I'm getting my lick back.
00:06:41So you better rest up because I'll see you at SummerSlam.
00:07:03The living legend, Charlotte Flair, who had Rhea Ripley's back at Clash in Italy.
00:07:36The following is the Queen of the Ring tournament.
00:07:37First round match scheduled for one fall.
00:07:40Introducing first, from the Queen City, Charlotte Flair!
00:07:48She has clearly stated her goal ring, SummerSlam, to get what Rhea currently has, that women's championship.
00:07:56And tonight, to be a step towards a chance at number 15 for Charlotte Flair.
00:08:02Yeah, the stated goal that you mentioned, Joe Tess, of regaining a world title, of course, from Rhea Ripley,
00:08:09is kind of a constant theme for someone as accomplished as Charlotte Flair.
00:08:15A woman who simply is not herself unless she's in pursuit of or in the process of acquiring gold.
00:08:27Queen of the Ring, first round, looking to fill out the semi-finals.
00:08:39And a fresh-faced rookie will be part of it.
00:08:46Next, from Honolulu, Hawaii, she is the women's Intercontinental Champion, Sol Ruka!
00:08:54Of course, for Sol Ruka, Turin was home to her shining moment.
00:08:58And Monday was an impressive title defense.
00:09:01Now, Sol Ruka trying to position herself for a shot at being a double champion weight.
00:09:07Yeah, simply no slowing down once you hit this level.
00:09:10It's been a hell of a ride for Sol Ruka since arriving on Raw and SmackDown,
00:09:15competing with the very best, and on occasion, of course, beating the very best,
00:09:20which explains why she is now in possession of that Intercontinental Championship.
00:09:26Doubling up a major task, not least with the field of competitors she's in there with tonight.
00:09:52Next, from Dublin, Ireland, Lyra Valkyria!
00:09:59Yeah!
00:09:59And it was Lyra who just came up short against Sol Ruka,
00:10:04the inaugural Women's IC Champion.
00:10:08She was so close up on that draw of hitting tight wing before Sol escaped,
00:10:12and Lyra felt victim to the Sol Snatcher, but she is so capable at any moment in spots like this.
00:10:20Yeah, so Lyra Valkyria, probably a couple of years ago,
00:10:23you would have said was the rookie on the women's roster.
00:10:27However, now that role fulfilled by Sol Ruka, and right now Lyra Valkyria needs to use that veteran experience to
00:10:35pump and loss to Ruka on Monday in the rear view mirror.
00:10:39Refocus on getting yourself all the way to that crown.
00:10:51A storm is coming.
00:11:19And they're accompanied by Nietzsche and G-Path from Barrow Beach, Florida.
00:11:25And they're accompanied by Nietzsche and G-Path from Barrow Beach, Florida.
00:11:26Jade Parker!
00:11:29Jade the winner of the 2025 Tween of the Ring Tournament.
00:11:36And her words have been backed up with her actions for months now.
00:11:40Red hot angrily securing the Women's Championship to Rhea in Vegas.
00:11:45she says no one is getting their hands on Rhea before she does again of course it has been some
00:11:53major beat brewing between Jay Cargill and Charlotte Flair as we're going to look at the
00:11:5914-time world champion let's not forget two weeks ago Jay Cargill and pals did take out
00:12:06Charlotte Flair's tag partner Alexa Bliss with that jaded on a steel chair and Charlotte no
00:12:13doubt will want some revenge on behalf of her tag buddy blister tonight and she got a little bit
00:12:18with the results clash in Italy but you know how the emotions go when you see that happen that was
00:12:23a violent violent attack so we are underway as Jay turns right to Charlotte and hits her with a big
00:12:31right hand and Lyra jumps on Jay now maybe they're looking to team up oh big kick by Charlotte simply
00:12:38a bedlam from the off chaos and you need eyes in the back of your head but right now it
00:12:43appears to
00:12:44be Jay Cargill that has made a trio of enemies in this match and they're all teaming up against her
00:12:49yeah Soluka and Charlotte Flair looking to double up Suplex but Jay Cargill the pure strength and power
00:12:57of Jay just a physical mismatch for anybody in the locker room and always slam that takes out Soluka way
00:13:06yeah taking out all three women with ease but right now we are down to one on one and what
00:13:12a clash this could be
00:13:20Charlotte says let's do this right here right now and Flair chops are on their way
00:13:35Charlotte getting the best of it early on
00:13:37Charlotte Flair simply synonymous with success never far away from the championship conversation
00:13:44and taking out Jay Cargill in the early goings here would be a major major shot in the arm for
00:13:51Charlotte's chances of course on the outside B-Fab and Meachin involving themselves right away
00:13:58of course there are no disqualifications in this type of matchup
00:14:02we're taking full up oh wait oh oh Alexa Bliss
00:14:09well we just mentioned her being taken out with that Jayden on a chair a couple of weeks ago
00:14:14apparently back and looking for vengeance I know this is a two-on-one scenario
00:14:19oh and a two-on-one of course
00:14:22are you kidding me Tiffany's strength sprinting down to even fix up what a massive right hand she
00:14:32delivered on B-Fab Jay Cargill talked a little trash about Tiffy earlier and maybe regretting that now
00:14:38because Tiffy out here leaning up chasing the miscreants out of town alongside Alexa Bliss
00:14:47Jay Cargill looks on as B-Fab and Meachin fighting off into the crowd and up the entry
00:14:55meanwhile Charlotte with her crossbody into the cover and a save made by Sol Ruka
00:15:02what a wild start to Smackdown
00:15:15glad you're with us from here in Providence Rhode Island Friday night Smackdown Queen of the Ring first round matchup
00:15:20fatal four-way Charlotte Flair Lyra Valkyria Sol Ruka and Jade Cargill who just saw her allies
00:15:28meachin and B-Fab come down to the ring before Alexa Bliss and Tiffany Stratton were able to fight them
00:15:34away
00:15:34yeah and if you're Jade oh wait up if you're Jade Cargill and that was your master plan to victory
00:15:40here tonight
00:15:40you need another plan ASAP because B-Fab and Meachin seem to be long gone now but this is a
00:15:47true fatal fall
00:15:55so it is totally hot in this arena and we'll see if that affects the endurance of these four athletes
00:16:02as the match goes on
00:16:04the scorching heat wave up and down the I-95 corridor in the northeast quadrant of the United States
00:16:12as you see Jade Cargill getting the best of Charlotte Flair just driving the bottom of that boot
00:16:18and let's be honest Jade Cargill is someone who will certainly take the advantage of having
00:16:24a little back of her ringside but it's not because she needs it she can certainly get the job done
00:16:29alone as we've seen before our eyes now she may not need it but she does use it and that
00:16:35has been
00:16:35often in the course of recent months I mean why change that winning formula has proved incredibly
00:16:42successful for Cargill Meachin and B-Fab over the past several months and they don't look like
00:16:48they're slowing down any time soon are they oh look for a quick one here Charlotte Flair
00:16:55before she's leveled lateral press Charlotte easily escapes that
00:17:05and now you do sense Jay Cargill slowly getting a foothold in the match and looking to dominate from here
00:17:11out
00:17:17now Sol Ruka taking the punishment
00:17:23snap suplex by cargo shoulders pinned down and I like these rapid pins from Jay Cargill when you
00:17:30do have two of your three opponents turf to the outside of the ring you have to maximize your
00:17:35opportunity to win the match where no one's available to break that pin up and clearly getting softened up
00:17:41in a major way now is the intercontinental champ Sol Ruka
00:17:51Charlotte Flair back in the center of the ring with Jay
00:18:00Jane able to get away
00:18:02it's the trash talk from Charlotte Flair
00:18:06women do not like each other at all in fact
00:18:09Jade Cargill does not like anybody who dares step two
00:18:13includes Lyra Valkyrie
00:18:26queen of the ring first round matchup fatal four-way here
00:18:33and Jade Cargill the 2025 winner of queen of the ring
00:18:37there's never been a two-time queen of the ring
00:18:39Sol Ruka is trying to solve that right now
00:18:42but Jade survives that Eoskye
00:18:44Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan have already advanced the semifinals
00:18:49who will meet them there
00:18:51so Sol Ruka simply doesn't have the power or experience of a Jay Cargill but what she does
00:18:56have is this ability to be nimble
00:18:59wow
00:18:59that's it geez
00:19:01spring
00:19:02rolling all the way through was Cargill and then Lyra Valkyrie coming in with the drop kick
00:19:08Lyra Valkyrie making sure that Sol Ruka did not steal a victory off that
00:19:12of her own hard work that was a wild sequence there
00:19:17and now Lyra Valkyrie looks to take momentum
00:19:21yeah we're going to bounce back in this one has been quiet thus far in the match although things
00:19:25can change really quickly at this level as we are seeing here the adaptive Lyra Valkyrie
00:19:31slowly taking control of the entire match
00:19:34Lyra going at a good pace right now
00:19:38as fisherman suplex there although immediately on the scene of course Jay Cargill once again
00:19:44adamant that he's going to be her
00:19:48what a counter into the DDT
00:19:51a spike right on the top of the head natural selection by flair
00:19:55could this be it for charlotte flair to advance
00:19:58and Sol Ruka comes flying in with a senton to break it up
00:20:03oh man just in the nick of time perfect timing there from Sol Ruka who is looking to snatch this
00:20:09right now
00:20:10charlotte smart to get out of the way then eats an elbow
00:20:14this is where all four women are now hurting they're groggy and somebody is ripe to be pinned
00:20:19or submitted make sure it isn't you
00:20:25that big queen boot that Sol Ruka runs right into it now flair is going up top
00:20:31this is that championship rhythm of charlotte flair and Sol Ruka knew it
00:20:36pretty hard to defend yourself against this kind of athleticism
00:20:40would you look at the balancing act by Sol Ruka
00:20:46lands on her feet it's ludicrous but gets run right into the corner and that drops flair
00:20:53as Lyra Valkyria now takes over control
00:20:56two birds with one stone Lyra but wait up here's Jay Cargill
00:21:00Jay Cargill could she grab the two for one here
00:21:08this is going to be ugly for somebody
00:21:12Lyra's got Charlotte up on her shoulders and they both go down
00:21:18and flair able to kick out at the last possible moment
00:21:22Jay Cargill turned that almost into a avalanche Samoan drop and it almost got the job done
00:21:28but Charlotte flair is simply too damn tough and will not give up when there's something special
00:21:35something gleaming on the line here you saw flair reaching for her back reaching for her right arm
00:21:41after taking that oh she's got around the neck but a massive right forearm and a chop
00:21:49and another right hand back and forth goes flair to show you how deep Charlotte flair can dig
00:21:55when there's something precious at stake
00:21:59flair with a signature walkover close line
00:22:03flair closing in on that semi-final spot the final spot alongside Io Raquel and Liv Morgan
00:22:10oh flair looking to close it out right here the missile drop kick from Sol Ruka
00:22:16Sol Ruka clearly hurting in a big way that body in agony right now but trying to block it out
00:22:25the kip up and the rally up
00:22:33able to get out of the way jade runs right to the court meanwhile quick roll up
00:22:39Lyra looking to take advantage Sol Ruka
00:22:42plays to have your wits about you all times at this point in the matchup can steal a victory out
00:22:46of
00:22:49nowhere now Lyra sizes things up oh and she delivers and just wipes out cargo out on the floor meanwhile
00:23:00back in the
00:23:01ring here's Sol out to the floor takes all the rivals out absolute car crush outside the ring
00:23:11and Sol this is yours for the taking
00:23:17but how much did that take out of Sol Ruka and of course you need at least one of those
00:23:22women back in the ring
00:23:23with you to score that decisive fall the women's intercontinental champion could she be setting the
00:23:30course for possibly fighting to be a double champion Lyra denies it what a match first round action queen of
00:23:41the ring tournament
00:23:53well we have seen some great performances in the first round of queen of the ring
00:23:59eo sky who moved into the semis defeating Roxanne perez and julia and lash legend raquel rodriguez
00:24:06was able to get through and then in a classic live boarding has becky lich alexa bliss and chelsea
00:24:13green and now these four women trying to fight and battle their way to see who advances yeah and what
00:24:20a scramble it is at this point in the matchup you see how quickly a ping can get turned inside
00:24:25out and
00:24:26almost stealing it there again was Sol Ruka who is fighting a very smart fight here and this looks as
00:24:32nasty as they come almost a modified tarantula well look at stretching out charlotte and finally lyra
00:24:39able to free her as lyra looks to do her own damage
00:24:48oh and she's gonna stretch her out every which way way well pendulum swing on its way
00:24:56oh but she eats a massive kick from jade right on the point of the nose there referee wake up
00:25:03wait to get there yeah and i'll be furious if i was jay cargill after that a good three seconds
00:25:09of pin
00:25:09went awry there referee slowly out of position checking in on lyra valkyria who may be in a bad way
00:25:16in the corner
00:25:19talking about a bad way knocking the stuffing out of charlotte flair now two women who simply do
00:25:27not like each other
00:25:34jade now getting the best of soul ruka in the corner i mean jade is really sport for choice at
00:25:40this point

00:25:49get yourself into those semi-finals get yourself that match up with live morgan
00:26:01right now you see the damage that jade has done in every corner of this ring yeah and
00:26:06get real frustration over jay cargill now has thrown out more offense than anybody in this matchup but
00:26:12somehow these women are not giving up
00:26:18i'm doing more damage to the 14-time champion charlotte flair
00:26:24every time you focus on charlotte of course soul ruka and lyra valkyria get valuable time to recover
00:26:30try and will themselves back into the fight
00:26:35jade comes crashing into that corner and this has started to look too easy for jay cargill the
00:26:42former women's wwe champ for bansu to be once again

00:27:27to say cargill's been the mvp of this one at least in terms of offense thrown out but charlotte flair

00:28:22hurting pick the weak one and try and get that four flare back on her feet oh and she eats
00:28:30a massive kick
00:28:31from ruka yeah it's that quickness of ruka once again that has proven pivotal oh would you look at
00:28:37the level of athleticism from soul ruka yeah so much momentum and time and it was pinpoint accuracy
00:28:44as was that boot from jade cargill massive pump kick from jade cargill

00:41:37And Lady Rhee
00:41:39Fatal Influence
00:41:41Fatal Influence
00:41:42The group that says loyalty is our currency
00:41:46And has reveled this week on social media
00:41:48Over last week's ambush on The Champs
00:41:53Okay, that's enough
00:41:54Can we help you, baby, girl?
00:41:58Actually, Paige, we can't
00:42:00I mean, J.C. just suffered her first big loss
00:42:03On SmackDown
00:42:04But don't worry, J.C.
00:42:06Uh-oh, because lying in wait
00:42:09With the rest of Fatal Influence
00:42:11Falon Henley and Lady Rhee
00:42:13And alongside J.C. Jane
00:42:15Delivered a major beating to The Champs
00:42:17Before holding aloft
00:42:19The women's tag titles
00:42:20Making it clear
00:42:21Where the focus of this group
00:42:24Lies right now
00:42:27Tell you what, Joe,
00:42:29If you're looking for trouble
00:42:30You have come to the right place
00:42:33Fatal Influence
00:42:35Bring nothing but trouble
00:42:36Wherever they go
00:42:38But damn, is it exciting to watch
00:42:45They have been major disruptors
00:42:47Since arriving on the scene
00:42:49And that's how you have to be
00:42:51And J.C. Jane looking resplendent at ringside
00:42:54Leading this group
00:42:55All the way to a potential showdown
00:42:58With tag champs
00:42:59Let's see how they do in this matchup
00:43:04Falon Henley getting right to business
00:43:06Against Brie Bella
00:43:08And look, the women's tag division
00:43:09For the past 12 months
00:43:10Has been highly combustible
00:43:12It looked like we were going to have
00:43:13A period of calm
00:43:14But before we could get that
00:43:15Of course
00:43:16Fatal Influence
00:43:18Rock up
00:43:19And just like the damage
00:43:20And trouble they caused in NXT
00:43:23They've done exactly the same here
00:43:25On the blue brand
00:43:26Now Brie getting right to it
00:43:29Answer the cover
00:43:32So Fatal Influence
00:43:33All-out aggression
00:43:35From the word go
00:43:36Every single week
00:43:37And what
00:43:38Paige and Brie Bella
00:43:39Have up their sleeve
00:43:41Is that veteran instinct
00:43:43Ooh
00:43:43Smarts to know
00:43:44When to step backwards
00:43:46When to step sideways
00:43:47And
00:43:47When to go straight forwards
00:43:50Like they're seeing right now
00:43:51Yeah
00:43:51Double team bulldog
00:43:52And then that massive running knee
00:43:54From Paige
00:43:55Yeah
00:43:56And that's just an experience factor now
00:43:58When you're sometimes a little
00:43:59Hot under the color
00:44:00Hot under the color
00:44:02Coming out here
00:44:03Looking to make a real statement
00:44:04Against the tag champs
00:44:06You make a little mistake
00:44:07You get a little ahead of yourselves
00:44:08As Lainey Reed and Fatalyn Henley
00:44:10Have done thus far
00:44:11And right now
00:44:12It's Lainey Reed's turn
00:44:14To take a beating
00:44:15From the champs
00:44:16Well he tags back in
00:44:19And you know what's gone
00:44:21So did Fatalyn Henley
00:44:23Yet there's nothing
00:44:24She could do to stop it
00:44:26But Brie Bella
00:44:27Is on fire right now
00:44:29With reason to be
00:44:34Yes kicks
00:44:35Delivered
00:44:36And meanwhile
00:44:36Paige
00:44:37Paige is doing damage
00:44:39On the apron
00:44:40It's like a hot knife
00:44:41Cutting through butter
00:44:43Right now
00:44:44It's simply too easy
00:44:45For the tag champs
00:44:46And Fallon Henley
00:44:47And Lainey Reed
00:44:49Need to come up with some answers
00:44:50Real quick
00:44:51Oh it's ripped up by JC Jane
00:44:55Oh the leader of Fatal Influence
00:44:57Apparently had an answer
00:44:58And that might be a game changing moment
00:45:01In this one
00:45:03Lainey Reed
00:45:05Now just pounding down
00:45:07On that series of left hands
00:45:09From Lainey Reed
00:45:10Didn't immediately go for the pin there
00:45:12Knows full well
00:45:13That Brie Bella
00:45:14Is a tag champ for a reason
00:45:16In part
00:45:16Because she's double tough
00:45:18Knowing she's not gonna get
00:45:19Put away with a cheap pin
00:45:21Now compounding that damage
00:45:23After the trip
00:45:24From the outside
00:45:25From JCJ
00:45:26And as if that leg drop
00:45:27Wasn't enough
00:45:28Look at the damage
00:45:29That Brie Bella
00:45:31Is taking
00:45:31The extra force
00:45:33On those uppercuts
00:45:34Running into that corner
00:45:35Hooking the leg
00:45:37What a great rhythm
00:45:39Fallon Henley
00:45:40And Lainey Reed
00:45:41Have had
00:45:42Once they did get
00:45:43The upper hand
00:45:43As Fallon Henley
00:45:44Now going to town
00:45:45On Brie Bella
00:45:46With his cravat
00:45:48Squeezing the life
00:45:49Out of Brie Bella
00:45:51Fallon Henley
00:45:52Former NXT
00:45:53North American champion
00:45:58Brie Bella
00:45:59Was expecting
00:46:00A clothesline there
00:46:01However
00:46:01Fallon went low
00:46:02Punch to the gut
00:46:03But somehow
00:46:04Making the tag
00:46:04And the referee
00:46:05Didn't see it
00:46:06And you can see
00:46:08Fallon Henley
00:46:08Was not trying to
00:46:09Stop that tag attempt
00:46:11Because there was
00:46:11A distraction
00:46:12From Lainey Reed
00:46:14And the ref
00:46:14Didn't see the tag
00:46:15So the ref
00:46:16Is claiming
00:46:17That Brie Bella
00:46:18Is still the legal
00:46:19Participant here
00:46:20Brie Bella
00:46:21Who was taking
00:46:21Serious damage
00:46:22Page was running in
00:46:24And all of a sudden
00:46:25It's Brie
00:46:26Still taking damage
00:46:28From Henley
00:46:29And Brie
00:46:29Great ring awareness
00:46:31Though from
00:46:32Fatal Influence
00:46:33You might not like it
00:46:34But that is
00:46:35Devastating
00:46:36From the blockbuster
00:46:36Right into the hook
00:46:37Of the leg
00:46:37And Brie survives it
00:46:40Tag team action
00:46:41Here in Providence
00:46:42On Friday night
00:46:43Smackdown
00:46:51Wait this has been
00:46:52A tough go of it
00:46:53For Brie Bella
00:46:54Yeah ever since
00:46:55The involvement
00:46:56Of JC Jane
00:46:57On the outside
00:46:58This one did
00:46:59A full 180
00:47:00And Brie Bella
00:47:01Is getting punished
00:47:02In every corner
00:47:04Of the ring now
00:47:05Of course
00:47:06With some additional
00:47:07Shots again
00:47:08From leader
00:47:08Of Fatal Influence
00:47:10JC Jane
00:47:14Trying to create
00:47:14Some separation
00:47:15In that rival corner
00:47:16Brie's not
00:47:17Very well done
00:47:22Shot right to the jaw
00:47:24From Lainey Reed
00:47:25And getting the
00:47:26Fresher Fallon Henley
00:47:27In there now
00:47:28To up the ante
00:47:29Somewhat
00:47:35Fallon Henley
00:47:36Someone who's had
00:47:36A lot of success
00:47:37Down in NXT
00:47:39Won the NXT
00:47:40North American
00:47:41Championship
00:47:41And also the
00:47:42NXT Tag Championships
00:47:44During her time
00:47:45There looking to
00:47:46Soon add some gold
00:47:49To Fatal Influence
00:47:50Here on Smackdown
00:47:51Let's go
00:47:58Reach
00:47:59Reach
00:48:01Reach
00:48:09Brie
00:48:09Desperate to just
00:48:10Fight her way
00:48:11Out of this situation
00:48:12Providence crowd
00:48:13Desperately backing
00:48:15Brie Bella
00:48:16The veteran
00:48:16In this one
00:48:17We're getting
00:48:17Ragdolled now
00:48:18By a
00:48:19Stronger
00:48:20Fallon Henley
00:48:21And Brie Bella
00:48:22Is in big trouble
00:48:23Now
00:48:23Paige on the outside
00:48:25Wants the tag
00:48:26But there seems
00:48:27To be very little
00:48:28Movement coming
00:48:28From Brie Bella
00:48:29Now
00:48:30Lots to be impressed
00:48:31With Fatal Influence
00:48:32Since they have
00:48:33Arrived on the
00:48:33Smackdown roster
00:48:34This is their
00:48:35Third match
00:48:36On Smackdown
00:48:37This combination
00:48:38Of Lainey Reed
00:48:39And Fallon Henley
00:48:40Shot on Paige
00:48:41From Lainey Reed
00:48:42Just peppering
00:48:44Brie Bella
00:48:45With shots
00:48:45And you question
00:48:46How much longer
00:48:47Brie Bella
00:48:48Is going to be able
00:48:48To withstand this
00:48:49And now once again
00:48:50A chance for a double team
00:48:51Based on what we've seen
00:48:53We've already
00:48:53Crossed that line
00:48:56She has not been
00:48:57Mounting
00:48:58Any offense at all
00:49:00For a few minutes
00:49:01Nothing at all
00:49:02Coming back
00:49:03The other way
00:49:03And Brie Bella
00:49:04Simply playing defense
00:49:05At this point
00:49:06Just desperately
00:49:07Clinging on
00:49:08Hoping at some point
00:49:10There's going to be
00:49:10A window
00:49:11To leap across
00:49:13And make that
00:49:13Tag to Paige
00:49:24Tellin Henley
00:49:25Just ragdolling her
00:49:26Now locking up
00:49:27Brie
00:49:29That's a crucifix
00:49:30Stretch on the ground
00:49:31Here
00:49:33Oh
00:49:34Brie able to find
00:49:35A little bit of leverage
00:49:37Just for a moment
00:49:38Desperate to free herself
00:50:02Well a week ago
00:50:04Fatal influence
00:50:05Fallon Henley
00:50:06Laney Raid
00:50:07JC Jane
00:50:08Were on the attack
00:50:10Backstage
00:50:10Against the tag team
00:50:12Champions
00:50:12Brie Bella
00:50:13And Paige
00:50:14Now it's been
00:50:16Brie Bella
00:50:16Sustaining
00:50:17A long attack
00:50:19In the midst
00:50:20Of this tag team
00:50:21Match
00:50:21Against
00:50:22Fallon Henley
00:50:23And Rainy Raid
00:50:23Desperate to get to Paige
00:50:25It's surprising
00:50:26That Brie Bella
00:50:27Is still alive
00:50:28In this one
00:50:28After the amount
00:50:29Of punishment
00:50:29She's had to absorb
00:50:31And she's not got close
00:50:32To a tag to Paige
00:50:33On the outside
00:50:34Who is as fresh
00:50:35As a daisy
00:50:36But still trying to
00:50:37Engineer something
00:50:38Is one half of the tag
00:50:39Chaps
00:50:40Laney Raid out there
00:50:41On the apron
00:50:43Nice protective move
00:50:44There from Fallon Henley
00:50:46Saving Laney
00:50:47Oh look at Brie
00:50:48And here comes Paige
00:50:51The moment
00:50:52The world has been
00:50:53Waiting for
00:50:54No more so
00:50:55Than Paige herself
00:51:00Nice snap
00:51:01German suplex
00:51:02There
00:51:02And this is
00:51:03A lot of frustration
00:51:04Now seeping out
00:51:05Of the pores
00:51:05Of Paige
00:51:06And poor Laney Raid
00:51:07Is the recipient
00:51:10Paige has been waiting
00:51:12And then uncaged
00:51:14And now
00:51:15Absolutely
00:51:16Getting the best
00:51:17Of Laney Raid
00:51:18Yeah Paige
00:51:19Suddenly looking
00:51:20Absolutely vicious
00:51:22Inside that ring
00:51:23The veteran
00:51:24Huge part
00:51:25Of the women's revolution
00:51:25Oh boy
00:51:26Oh boy
00:51:26Here we go
00:51:27PTO right here
00:51:28Absolutely
00:51:29That Paige
00:51:30Tap out
00:51:30Oh she's gonna lock it in
00:51:34Won countless matches
00:51:36With this one
00:51:37Fallon Henley
00:51:38Enters the fray
00:51:39Just when Laney Raid
00:51:40Was no doubt
00:51:41About to tap out
00:51:42On that one
00:51:43But look out
00:51:46Oh Paige
00:51:49Oh
00:51:51Rampage
00:51:52Paige
00:51:52Looking at her shoulders
00:51:53Down
00:51:53And again
00:51:55And again
00:52:20Fallon Henley
00:52:50To turn this thing
00:52:52PTO here
00:52:52Jacey Jain is pulling
00:52:55On the arm
00:52:56Referee
00:52:57Caught her
00:52:58Red-handed
00:53:01She's out of here
00:53:06What are you talking about?
00:53:08Well it's difficult
00:53:09To defend yourself
00:53:10When you are busted
00:53:11Red-handed
00:53:11By the referee
00:53:12Finally
00:53:13After several times
00:53:14Getting involved
00:53:15In the match
00:53:15But again
00:53:16Small package
00:53:17Here
00:53:17Hold on
00:53:18What you look at
00:53:19What Bridgeson
00:53:19How brilliant
00:53:20Was that?
00:53:24Here are your winners
00:53:25The WWE Women's Tag Team
00:53:28Champion
00:53:29Bree, Bella
00:53:31And Paige
00:53:32While Fatal Influence
00:53:35Beaten at their own game
00:53:36Behind the referee's back
00:53:38Now Fatal Influence
00:53:40Arguably had the matchup
00:53:42But from the outside
00:53:44Changing things around
00:53:46Came Bree, Bella
00:53:47That was so impressive
00:53:49When you see the ring
00:53:50General shift
00:53:51The veteran's skill
00:53:53To do this
00:53:54Well there's the role
00:53:55That from Fallon Henley
00:53:56Small package
00:53:57Turned around
00:53:58By an illegal
00:53:59Bree, Bella
00:54:00Behind the referee's back
00:54:01And after much cheating
00:54:02From Fatal Influence
00:54:04Since the champs
00:54:06Pulled out the right move
00:54:07At the right time
00:54:08And gave Fatal Influence
00:54:09A little taste of their own
00:54:10Medicine there
00:54:11Hey a reminder
00:54:12That we will continue on
00:54:14With the King of the Ring
00:54:15Tournament tonight
00:54:16Jey Uso
00:54:16LA Knight
00:54:17Fifth hour
00:54:18Royce
00:54:19He's in a Fatal 4-Way
00:54:20But wait
00:54:21There's a lot to tackle
00:54:22When it comes to
00:54:23Sami Zayn
00:54:23Gunther
00:54:24And Cody Rhodes
00:54:25After last week
00:54:27You're the one who said
00:54:29You are going to beat
00:54:31Gunther
00:54:31And teach me a lesson
00:54:33Well
00:54:33When you want to teach me
00:54:35That lesson
00:54:38Cody was pondering
00:54:40This gunther attack
00:54:41From behind
00:54:41Once again
00:54:42Locking Cody
00:54:43In the sleeper
00:54:44This time however
00:54:45Sami
00:54:46Saved Cody
00:54:47Allowing the champ
00:54:48Will Chester
00:54:49Fight back
00:54:50And then a three-way brawl
00:54:52Broke out
00:54:53Now Cody
00:54:54To his credit
00:54:55Tried to throw a dive
00:54:56The way of Gunther
00:54:57Inadvertently
00:54:58Dropped Sami
00:54:59Instead
00:55:00Now
00:55:00Gunther made his exit
00:55:02Cody's attempts
00:55:03On an apology
00:55:04Fell on deaf ears
00:55:06Tensions between the two
00:55:08Continuing to grow
00:55:11I swear
00:55:12It's like
00:55:12You're damned if you do
00:55:13And you're damned if you don't
00:55:16I do nothing
00:55:17And I'm somehow
00:55:17The bad guy
00:55:18I do something
00:55:19And it still ends up
00:55:20With me paying the price
00:55:21And this is all
00:55:21With a supposed friend
00:55:22Mind you
00:55:24I swear
00:55:25This happens enough
00:55:26And at a certain point
00:55:27You gotta start asking yourself
00:55:28Some serious questions
00:55:30Serious questions
00:55:31Like
00:55:31When are you gonna get up
00:55:33And do something about it
00:55:35You know what
00:55:37You're right
00:55:38I am gonna do something about it
00:55:40I'm gonna go out there
00:55:41And talk to Cody
00:55:42And clear the air
00:55:43Once and for all
00:55:45Thanks Johnny
00:56:16You have to recurse the Knicks
00:56:18I don't think so
00:56:19No please please please please
00:56:21We put a lot of money
00:56:22On the spurs
00:56:22And if they win tomorrow
00:56:24We're getting a huge payout

00:56:40Okay

00:56:41Yeah that's a good idea
00:56:42But I do need some human money
00:56:43For that
00:56:44I don't actually
00:56:45Have any money with me
00:56:47That's a nice watch

00:57:00I've been gone two weeks
00:57:02And look
00:57:03What you've done to the Miz
00:57:04Oh I think he looks pretty cool
00:57:06No he doesn't
00:57:07Hoorah
00:57:08Ever since you electrocuted him
00:57:09He's stuck saying his own
00:57:10He's jealous
00:57:11His catchphrase
00:57:12Look at him
00:57:13Yeah 2010
00:57:13That's pretty good
00:57:14Reverse it
00:57:15Reverse it now
00:57:16No let me try something
00:57:17Hey the Miz
00:57:18What do you think of Dan Housen today
00:57:19Master
00:57:20No he's not awesome
00:57:22He's not

00:57:23When my hand goes up
00:57:24Your mouth goes shut
00:57:26Zone in
00:57:27Zone in
00:57:28Master
00:57:29Inspire
00:57:29That's the wrong one
00:57:31Reverse this

00:57:32I like him
00:57:33I think he's great
00:57:34Really
00:57:34Yes
00:57:34Really
00:57:35Yes
00:57:36Toxic
00:57:37Toxic
00:57:45Yes
00:57:46Okay see you later
00:57:52Awesome
00:57:56Who's gonna stop this Dan Housen
00:57:59He's a menace
00:58:00What do you do Tash
00:58:01I gotta go back to that before story sometime
00:58:03Stay away is a death trap
00:58:11Ladies and gentlemen please welcome
00:58:13Sami Zayn
00:58:18Sami Zayn who we've been watching as he uses Johnny Gargano less as a sounding board more as a sounding
00:58:24sponge
00:58:26And now this great crowd here in Providence
00:58:29And the entire world can absorb the message from an often frustrated Sami Zayn lately
00:58:37Look at him his real name
00:58:39He's the last real good guy left
00:58:42As the teacher told you Joe Tash
00:58:44It's really easy to remember now
00:58:46Even you shouldn't be able to mess that up
00:58:49But you did
00:58:50And poor Sami Zayn has got the short end of the stick
00:58:54On more than one occasion
00:58:55Over the past several months
00:58:57And things need to change around here in a big way
00:58:59You are such a ride or die
00:59:01Always have been
00:59:02Always will be
00:59:03You are ride or die to the max
00:59:05Because I'm a real one
00:59:06Unlike you Joe Tash
00:59:08Change your mind with the weather
00:59:10That's your problem
00:59:11No loyalty
00:59:11Down the middle TV presenter
00:59:13Nonsense
00:59:24Crowds in Europe were better than this
00:59:26They all cheered Sami Zayn
00:59:29As they're real ones
00:59:57I gotta say
00:59:58I gotta say
01:00:00A little bit of a strange reaction
01:00:03Considering I was in Europe for the last couple of weeks
01:00:07And I'm not comparing the European crowd to the American crowd
01:00:11I'm not doing that
01:00:13But
01:00:14I will say that the rider dies
01:00:17Showed up in full force for me
01:00:19In Europe
01:00:20Alright
01:00:27But look
01:00:28You're here
01:00:29I'm here
01:00:30You have two choices right now
01:00:34You could either sit there
01:00:36With a sour look on your face
01:00:38And boo me
01:00:43Or
01:00:44You can ride or die
01:00:47With the last real good guy
01:00:55I hear you
01:00:57I hear you
01:00:58Ride or die baby
01:01:08Providence
01:01:09As much as I love to come out here
01:01:11And party
01:01:12With the diehards
01:01:14With the day ones
01:01:15That's not why I'm out here
01:01:16I'm out here because something has been brewing
01:01:18For months and months
01:01:20And it needs to come to an end
01:01:21I want to clear the air
01:01:23Once and for all
01:01:25With one man
01:01:26So come on out there
01:01:27I know you're back there
01:01:29Cody Rhodes
01:01:38Wrestling has more than one
01:01:40Royal family
01:01:43Now that's a proper crowd reaction
01:01:57A trend in my soul
01:02:00Every fight out of control
01:02:03Do it all to get them off their feet
01:02:09Crowd is here
01:02:11About to blow
01:02:12Made it for me
01:02:14To start the show
01:02:15Out the curtain
01:02:17Like the world from home
01:02:20Whoa
01:02:25When all we're gonna go
01:02:28Our top three's ever made
01:02:33Bernie Rhodes who defended that undisputed WWE championship
01:02:38And clashing Italy against Gunther
01:02:40Immediately said Gunther wants a rematch
01:02:43He's got it
01:02:44Waiting news on the terms and the stipulation that Gunther wants to put forth
01:02:50Now coming out to meet Sami Zayn
01:02:53Well Gunther told us earlier
01:02:54We know there is gonna be a special guest referee
01:02:57Who that's gonna be
01:02:58Hopefully we find out by the end of the show
01:03:00It has to be said
01:03:01There was a highly controversial matchup
01:03:04And clash in Italy
01:03:06Hence why there is a rematch
01:03:08And hence why there's an issue now
01:03:10With Sami Zayn
01:03:11Because the exact words of Cody Rhodes were
01:03:13Let me beat Gunther
01:03:15At Clash in Italy
01:03:17And then Sami
01:03:18You have got next however
01:03:23Due to the issues and the ending of that match with Gunther
01:03:27That's not quite how things are gonna play out
01:03:29Just furthering those tensions between these two now
01:03:32We're full of very good friends
01:03:34Took it all away
01:03:35I give it all away
01:03:37You take my freedom
01:03:39You change the game
01:03:41A better man to play
01:03:43I built my kingdom
01:03:45Now you
01:03:47Built to me
01:03:48You took my dreams
01:03:50And got my name
01:03:51You'll follow me
01:03:53Until the end
01:03:55I am my kingdom
01:04:13So
01:04:17Providence, Rhode Island
01:04:23What was the dunk?
01:04:25Now the amp
01:04:26One of my favorite arenas on earth
01:04:29And you know why
01:04:31My good friend
01:04:32Sami Zayn
01:04:35What do you want to talk about?
01:04:39Okay
01:04:39Could you not do that?
01:04:42Could you not do this?
01:04:43Could you not
01:04:44For one second
01:04:45Could you not be the American Nightmare?
01:04:47Can you just be Cody for one second?
01:04:51Can you just be my friend
01:04:52So we can have an earnest
01:04:54And honest conversation here
01:04:55Cody
01:04:56Because it seems like
01:04:57There's been a bit of a pattern
01:04:59Developing here
01:05:00For the last
01:05:01I don't know
01:05:02Few months
01:05:02A series of
01:05:03Let's call them misunderstandings
01:05:06A situation where
01:05:07I find myself
01:05:08Helping you
01:05:09And over and over
01:05:11I find myself
01:05:12Paying the price for it
01:05:17I hear that
01:05:18I hear that
01:05:28Okay
01:05:30All right
01:05:30Nice
01:05:33Cody
01:05:34You made me feel
01:05:35Like the worst person in the world
01:05:37A couple of weeks ago
01:05:38When Goodthrough was choking you out
01:05:40And I
01:05:40I let it happen
01:05:42I turned my back
01:05:43I walked away
01:05:43Even though
01:05:44In all honesty
01:05:45Cody
01:05:45On that particular night
01:05:47That is what you deserved
01:05:48Okay
01:05:49I'm being honest
01:05:50I'm being honest
01:05:54But last week
01:05:56You find yourself
01:05:57In the same position
01:05:58You're getting choked out
01:05:59By Gunther
01:06:00And what do I do?
01:06:01I do the right thing
01:06:03Cody
01:06:03I do right by you
01:06:04I help you
01:06:05And how does that night
01:06:06End for me?
01:06:07I still end up
01:06:08Flat on my back
01:06:09And you're standing tall
01:06:10And Cody
01:06:11This keeps happening
01:06:12Over and over
01:06:13So at a certain point
01:06:14I have to ask myself
01:06:17Is this an accident?
01:06:23So I want you to just tell me
01:06:25The truth
01:06:43Sami, you're asking me basically to explain pro wrestling to you, which you don't need explained to you.
01:06:52You're one of the absolute best in the entire world
01:06:55No, no
01:06:55You're talking about accidents
01:06:57These were in the confines of a wrestling match
01:07:00This is competition here
01:07:02And then you're asking me to turn it off?
01:07:04Turn it off?
01:07:05You called me out in a public forum, you called me out in a public forum, my man
01:07:08You're wearing a brand new WWE merch shirt, which I think I believe more than you believe
01:07:13Turn it off
01:07:16That's what I need to do is turn it off
01:07:18And besides, besides
01:07:21You and I should not be standing here
01:07:24Think about two years ago
01:07:27The biggest moment of my entire career
01:07:30Something I thought would never happen
01:07:32WrestleMania 40
01:07:33A memory that I share with you
01:07:35You were in the ring that night
01:07:37No, no, no, no
01:07:37Cody, let's be clear about something
01:07:39I wasn't just some guy in the ring that night
01:07:41I was the first guy in the ring that night
01:07:44When you finished your story and won the WWE Championship
01:07:49First, I was there before Kevin Owens
01:07:52I was there before Jey Uso
01:07:54Or LA Knight
01:07:54Or CM Punk
01:07:55Or John Cena
01:07:56Or Randy Orton
01:07:58I was there first
01:07:59Even though, let's be honest for a second
01:08:01If anybody had any reason to have some sour grapes
01:08:04About you winning that night
01:08:06It would have been me
01:08:07But I didn't
01:08:08I was happy for you
01:08:10Even still to this day
01:08:12I'm happy for you
01:08:13You know why?
01:08:14Because I am a good guy
01:08:17I was happy for you, Cody
01:08:23I really was
01:08:26But all those guys that I listed
01:08:29How many of them are still your friends now?
01:08:34So it just gets me thinking
01:08:36Is the problem all of those guys
01:08:39Or is the problem
01:08:41You?
01:08:42You?
01:08:52Everything is about change
01:08:54And you know that
01:08:55Especially here
01:08:56You have to be better than you were the day before
01:08:58Listen, listen
01:08:58Cody, just level with me
01:09:00I am leveling with you
01:09:01When this gets involved
01:09:03You're talking about Kevin Owens
01:09:05You're talking about Randy Orton
01:09:06You're talking about John Cena
01:09:07I was not able to be honest with them
01:09:11In a way that I need to be honest with you
01:09:14That's all I'm asking for, Cody
01:09:16I'm here now
01:09:17Just be honest with me for once
01:09:20Don't talk in platitudes
01:09:22You want me to be honest with you?
01:09:24You want me to be honest?
01:09:25I'm standing out here for this
01:09:27I'm taking all this fire
01:09:29Listening to this BS
01:09:31Here's me being honest with you
01:09:33They are booing you
01:09:35They are chanting
01:09:36Sammy sucked
01:09:37And the reason is
01:09:39Is because lately
01:09:40You do suck
01:09:41You're whining
01:09:43You're crying
01:09:46You're not the Sammy Zane
01:09:48That they fell in love with
01:09:50Not the Sammy Zane
01:09:51That they took a ride with
01:09:52You're not my Sammy Zane
01:09:54You're something else
01:09:56If anything
01:09:57You are desperate
01:10:01Let's not pretend
01:10:03That it's about anything
01:10:06Anything
01:10:08Between you and I
01:10:09Other than the WWE Championship
01:10:13And I owe you an apology
01:10:15I am sorry
01:10:17I'm sorry that I have this
01:10:20And that that means

01:11:48No.
01:11:48Oh, no.
01:11:49Oh.
01:11:51Oh.
01:12:05Oh.
01:12:19That got right to the brink.
01:12:38Solo.
01:12:45What the hell do you want?
01:12:48I got a message from the OTC.
01:12:51About what?
01:12:54Solo, it's been way too long and long enough.
01:13:00He needs you to come home.
01:13:07Home?
01:13:08He wants me to come home.
01:13:10That's what your tribal chief said.
01:13:14That ain't home, Jacob.
01:13:16That's a dog house.
01:13:18And you're his lap dog.
01:13:21You know what?
01:13:22I don't understand this.
01:13:24What the hell happened to you?
01:13:27Huh?
01:13:28You used to be a killer.
01:13:30A man that everybody was afraid of.
01:13:33The Samoa werewolf.
01:13:35A man who was this close to being Roman.
01:13:37And now.
01:13:40You're just his background.
01:13:43And you know I'm right.
01:13:44Because I am still standing here.
01:13:46And you've done nothing.
01:13:47But come here.
01:13:49But come here.
01:13:50And deliver a message.
01:13:51From who?
01:13:53Your tribal chief?
01:13:56Listen to me.
01:13:59Roman has done nothing but embarrass you.
01:14:05Humiliated you.
01:14:07Oh.
01:14:08Made you kneel down.
01:14:09Like a dog.
01:14:11In front of the whole world.
01:14:12And in front of our.
01:14:14And in front of our family, Jacob.
01:14:16And that right there.
01:14:17That is not how you treat somebody that you love.
01:14:21But he wants me to come back.
01:14:24I'm not going back.
01:14:27So tell Roman.
01:14:31He can go to hell.
01:14:36I get it.
01:14:39I understand.
01:14:41Everything you talking about.
01:14:45I understand where you coming from.
01:14:49But I made my decision already.
01:14:52And I'm a stand on business.
01:14:55So if the OTC.
01:14:57Sends me for you.
01:15:01Aye, Solo.
01:15:04I'm coming for you.
01:15:11Okay, Jacob.
01:15:14You tell Roman.
01:15:17If he wants me to come back home.
01:15:23Then he can come and get me.
01:15:31Well, that's a massive message delivered by Jacob.
01:15:34But that's a return to sender by Solo Wade.
01:15:37Yeah, you take Solo back into the bloodline.
01:15:41You're gonna have to drag him there kicking and screaming by the sounds of things.
01:15:44Listen, we're still buzzing about what happened on AAA.
