FunTranscript
00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:30As summer fun arrives in New England, WWE has made its way to Providence, Rhode Island.
00:00:36The Amiga Mutual Pavilion is home to this week's Friday Night Smackdown.
00:00:41And what's been on Boyle here is everything centering on Cody Rhodes and Gunther with a recent spark from Sami
00:00:48Zayn.
00:00:52I guarantee these fans here tonight in Bologna.
00:00:55Oh, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:00:58I want justice for what happened to me as Clash and Italy.
00:01:07Intentionally put my foot underneath that rope.
00:01:10And when I put it underneath there, the pinball cannot be counted.
00:01:15Cody knows that.
00:01:17Gunther.
00:01:18Oh, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but you're right.
00:01:23If you want to do this, a rematch for the WWE Championship, let's do it.
00:01:33Both of you did me wrong.
00:01:36Cody, I tried to help you.
00:01:38And how did you repay me?
00:01:39You stuck me with crossroads from behind like a knife in my back.
00:01:44You watched me get choked out by Luther.
00:01:48I know you want the WWE Championship.
00:01:51The problem is, Sami, I'm a little busy right now.
00:01:54You're always looking past me.
00:01:56You're looking to the next threat.
00:01:58Maybe you need to realize that the biggest threat to your championship might just be looking you in the eyes
00:02:04right now.
00:02:30Is that offer for a rematch with Gunther still good?
00:02:33100% good.
00:02:33I wanted to arrest him tonight, but I heard he left the building.
00:02:36Okay, good.
00:02:36Because I just got off the phone with his legal team.
00:02:39They're willing to accept that he has one condition.
00:02:44Give it to me.
00:02:44What's the condition?
00:02:45Well, that's just it.
00:02:47He wants to make us wait to tell us the condition until next week.
00:03:02Okay.
00:03:04Lay it on me.
00:03:06Have we heard from Gunther yet?
00:03:08I know this is hard to believe, but he hasn't told me anything yet.
00:03:13But he has assured me that we will find out tonight.
00:03:16Okay, we'll find out tonight.
00:03:17Well, I have beat him before.
00:03:19We're in a good place.
00:03:20It's a good night.
00:03:21Let's have a good smackdown.
00:03:22Let's do that.
00:03:23Let's do that.
00:03:39Good to see you, dawg.
00:03:41Check this out, Us.
00:03:43Tonight's my king of the ring match.
00:03:46I'm going to win this whole tournament, Cody.
00:03:49When I do, I'm coming after that WWE championship.
00:03:54As SummerSlam.
00:03:56Just ministers.
00:03:58Just ministers.
00:04:01Jay, I hope you're right.
00:04:02Yeah.
00:04:03If anybody here deserves to chase this, it's you.
00:04:08Yeah.
00:04:09But I hope it's your decision.
00:04:13And not Romans.
00:04:17One, two, three, go high.
00:04:20Well, Jay isn't the only one interested in advancing.
00:04:23L.A. Dine is here to try to punch his ticket to the king of the ring tournament semifinals.
00:04:29We're only a couple weeks away from the finals.
00:04:31Also in tonight's first round fatal four-way, Royce Ease will his power play on the big ball.
00:04:37And Ben Baller with a fresh start.
00:04:41A new roster.
00:04:42A new chance to prove as a veteran.
00:04:45It's Jay, L.A. Knight, Royce, Ben.
00:04:48They all need up tonight.
00:04:51As we've got a roaring crowd here in Providence.
00:04:55Glad you're with us.
00:04:55Joe and Wade.
00:04:56Great time of the year to see the king and the queen of the ring tournaments.
00:05:00Remember, the winners will earn a title shot at SummerSlam.
00:05:04Now, Wade, let's get everybody up to date on Rhea Ripley.
00:05:07And the knee injury, she sustained that clash in Italy.
00:05:09Yeah, so the knee injury happened in Italy last week.
00:05:12Now, we are evaluating the knee injury as we speak.
00:05:16And based on how that knee responds to the treatment,
00:05:19it should give us a better idea on the ETA for the return of Rhea Ripley.
00:05:24And obviously, we've all got our fingers crossed for a swift return for the champion.
00:05:28And let's dig into what happened last week on SmackDown as well.
00:05:32So, this was on SmackDown.
00:05:35Charlotte teaming with Tiffany Stratton against Jay Cargill and Meechin.
00:05:39Now, typical underhanded tactics, including some interference on the outside from B-Fab.
00:05:45But Stratton still closing in on a victory.
00:05:47That was before Cargill showed some real pace.
00:05:50Catching Stratton with a jaded to pick up a major victory for her team
00:05:56against somebody who is starting to be a bit of a thorn in the side of Jay Cargill and Pals.
00:06:05Excuse me, Jay Cargill.
00:06:06You are minutes away from your Queen of the Ring tournament first round match.
00:06:10As last year's Queen of the Ring winner, do you feel any pressure to repeat that performance?
00:06:15Pressure?
00:06:16Sure, I built a career off of pressure.
00:06:18Do we have anything to worry about, lady?
00:06:20No, ma'am.
00:06:21Exactly, because best believe, if I won it once, I can win it twice.
00:06:25And last week, we proved to Charlotte who the real queen is.
00:06:28And Tiffy got to see exactly what time it is when you try to cut the line.
00:06:32She got a taste of what happens when you mess with a future two-time Queen of the Ring.
00:06:38Rhea, I'm getting my lick back.
00:06:40So you better rest up, because I'll see you at SummerSlam.
00:06:57All in the Queen.
00:07:02The living legend, Charlotte Flair, who had Rhea Ripley's back at Clash in Italy.
00:07:34The following is the Queen of the Ring tournament.
00:07:36First round match scheduled for one fall.
00:07:39Introducing first, from the Queen City, Charlotte Flair!
00:07:47She has clearly stated her goal with SummerSlam to get what Rhea currently has, that winning
00:07:54championship.
00:07:55And tonight, to be a step towards a chance at number 15 for Charlotte Flair.
00:08:01Yeah, the stated goal that you mentioned, Joe Tess, of regaining a world title, of course,
00:08:06from Rhea Ripley, is kind of a constant theme for someone as accomplished as Charlotte Flair,
00:08:14a woman who simply is not herself unless she's in pursuit of or in the process of acquiring gold.
00:08:25Queen of the Ring, first round, looking to fill out the semi-finals.
00:08:38And a fresh-faced rookie will be part of it.
00:08:44Next, from Honolulu, Hawaii, she is the women's intercontinental champion, Sol Ruka!
00:08:52Of course, for Sol Ruka, Turin was home to her shining moment.
00:08:57And Monday was an impressive title defense.
00:09:00And now, Sol Ruka trying to position herself for a shot at being a double champion weight.
00:09:06Yeah, simply no slowing down once you hit this level.
00:09:09It's been a hell of a ride for Sol Ruka since arriving on Raw and SmackDown,
00:09:14competing with the very best, and on occasion, of course, beating the very best,
00:09:19which explains why she is now in possession of that intercontinental championship.
00:09:24Doubling up, a major task, not least with the field of competitors she's in there with tonight.
00:09:51Next, from Dublin, Ireland, Lyra Valkyria!
00:09:58And it was Lyra who just came up short against Sol Ruka, the inaugural women's IC champion.
00:10:07It was so close to 100, I saw a hidden tight wing before Sol escaped.
00:10:11And Lyra felt victim to the Sol Snatcher, but she is so capable at any moment in spots like this.
00:10:18Yeah, so Lyra Valkyria, probably a couple of years ago, you would have said was the rookie on the women's
00:10:24roster.
00:10:26However, now that role fulfilled by Sol Ruka.
00:10:29And right now, Lyra Valkyria needs to use that veteran experience to pump the loss to Ruka on Monday
00:10:36in the rear view mirror.
00:10:38Refocus on getting yourself all the way to that crown.
00:10:49A storm is coming.
00:10:56A storm is coming.
00:11:18And they're accompanied by Neaton Antifa, from Barrow Beach, Florida, Jay Cargill!
00:11:28Jay, the winner of the 2025 Tween of the Ring Tournament.
00:11:34And her words have been backed up with her actions for months now.
00:11:39Red Hot Hangrys is losing the women's championship to Rhea in Vegas.
00:11:44She says no one is getting their hands on Rhea before she does again.
00:11:51Of course, there has been some major beef brewing between Jay Cargill and Charlotte Flair as we're going to look
00:11:57at the 14-time world champion.
00:12:00Let's not forget, two weeks ago, Jay Cargill and pals did take out Charlotte Flair's tag partner, Alexa Bliss, with
00:12:08that jaded on a steel chair.
00:12:11And Charlotte, no doubt, will want some revenge on behalf of her tag buddy, Blister, tonight.
00:12:16And she got a little bit with the results in Clash in Italy, but you know how the emotions go
00:12:21when you see that happen.
00:12:22That was a violent, violent attack.
00:12:25So we are underway as Jay turns right to Charlotte and hits her with a big right hand.
00:12:31And Lyra jumps on Jay.
00:12:32Now maybe they're looking to team up.
00:12:35Oh, big kick by Charlotte.
00:12:36Simply bedlam from the off.
00:12:39Chaos, and you need eyes in the back of your head.
00:12:41But right now it appears to be Jay Cargill that has made a trio of enemies in this match, and
00:12:46they're all teaming up against her.
00:12:48Yeah, Soluka and Charlotte Flair looking to double up.
00:12:51Suplex, but Jay Cargill, the pure strength and power of Jay.
00:12:58Yeah, just a physical mismatch for anybody in the locker room.
00:13:02And fall-away slam that takes out Soluka wing.
00:13:05Yeah, taking out all three women with ease, but right now we are down to one-on-one.
00:13:11Well, what a clash this could be.
00:13:18Charlotte says, let's do this.
00:13:20Right here, right now, and Flair chops are on their way.
00:13:34Charlotte getting the best of it early on.
00:13:36Well, Charlotte Flair simply synonymous with success.
00:13:40Never far away from the championship conversation, and taking out Jay Cargill in the early goings here
00:13:46would be a major, major shot in the arm for Charlotte's chances of winning.
00:13:51Of course, on the outside.
00:13:52B-Fab and Mee-Chan involving themselves right away.
00:13:57Of course, there are no disqualifications in this type of matchup.
00:14:01It's taking full-on.
00:14:02Oh, wait.
00:14:03Oh.
00:14:03Oh-ho!
00:14:05Alexa Bliss!
00:14:08Well, we just mentioned him being taken out with that Jayden on a chair a couple of weeks ago.
00:14:14Apparently back and looking for vengeance.
00:14:16I know this is a two-on-one scenario.
00:14:19Oh, and a two-on-one.
00:14:20Of course.
00:14:22Are you kidding me?
00:14:25Tiffany Stratton sprinting down to even victim.
00:14:29What a massive right hand she delivered on B-Fab.
00:14:33Well, Jay Cargill talked a little trash about Tiffany earlier and may be regretting that now
00:14:37because Tiffany's out here leading up and chasing the miscreants out of town alongside Alexa Bliss.
00:14:46Jay Cargill looks on as B-Fab and Mee-Chan fighting off into the crowd and up the entry.
00:14:54Meanwhile, Charlotte Blair crossbody into the cover.
00:14:58And a save made by Sol Ruka.
00:15:02What a wild start to SmackDown.
00:15:14Glad you're with us from here in Providence, Rhode Island.
00:15:16Friday night SmackDown.
00:15:18Queen of the ring first round matchup.
00:15:20Fatal four-way.
00:15:21Charlotte Blair, Lyra Valkaria, Sol Ruka, and Jade Cargill, who just saw her allies, Mee-Chan and B-Fab,
00:15:29come down to the ring before Alexa Bliss and Tiffany Stratton were able to fight them away.
00:15:33Yeah, and if you're Jade, oh wait up, if you're Jade Cargill, and that was your master plan to victory
00:15:39here tonight,
00:15:40you need another plan ASAP because B-Fab and Mee-Chan seem to be long gone now,
00:15:46and this is a true fatal fall.
00:15:54So it is totally hot in this arena, and we'll see if that affects the endurance of these four athletes
00:16:01as the match goes on.
00:16:03A scorching heat wave up and down the I-95 corridor in the northeast quadrant of the United States.
00:16:11As you see, Jade Cargill getting the best of Charlotte Flair, just driving the bottom of that boot along her
00:16:17throat.
00:16:18And let's be honest, Jade Cargill is someone who will certainly take the advantage of having, oh,
00:16:23a little backup at ringside, but it's not because she needs it.
00:16:27She can certainly get the job done alone, as we've seen before our eyes now.
00:16:31She may not need it, but she does use it, and that has been often in the course of recent
00:16:36months.
00:16:37I mean, why change that winning formula?
00:16:40It has proved incredibly successful for Cargill, Mee-Chan, and B-Fab over the past several months,
00:16:46and they don't look like they're slowing down any time soon.
00:16:49Oh, looking for a quick one here, Charlotte Flair.
00:16:54Before she's leveled, lateral press.
00:16:57Charlotte easily escapes that.
00:17:04And now you do sense Jade Cargill slowly getting a foothold in the match and looking to dominate from here
00:17:10out.
00:17:16Oh, now Sol Ruka taking the punishment.
00:17:22Snap suplex by Cargill.
00:17:25Shoulders pinned down.
00:17:26And I like these rapid pins from Jade Cargill.
00:17:29When you do have two of your three opponents turf to the outside of the ring,
00:17:33you have to maximize your opportunity to win the match where no one's available to break that pin up.
00:17:39And clearly getting softened up in a major way now is the Intercontinental champ Sol Ruka.
00:17:50Charlotte Flair.
00:17:52Back in the center of the ring with Jade.
00:17:59Jade will get a wave.
00:18:01It's the trash talk from Charlotte Flair.
00:18:05Women do not like each other at all.
00:18:08In fact, Jade Cargill does not like anybody who dares step to her.
00:18:12That includes Lyra Valkyrie.
00:18:19Queen of the ring, first round matchup.
00:18:22Fatal four-way here.
00:18:24Charlotte Flair, Lyra Valkyrie, Sol Ruka, and Jade Cargill, the 2025 winner of Queen of the Ring.
00:18:30There's never been a two-time Queen of the Ring.
00:18:33Sol Ruka's trying to solve that right now.
00:18:35But Jade survives that.
00:18:37Eoskai, Raquel Rodriguez, and Liv Morgan have already advanced the semifinals.
00:18:42Who will meet them there?
00:18:43Sol Ruka simply doesn't have the power or experience of a Jade Cargill.
00:18:48But what she does have is this ability to be nimble.
00:18:52Wow.
00:18:52Compared to G's.
00:18:54Springboard, but rolling all the way through as Cargill.
00:18:57And then Lyra Valkyrie coming in with the dropkick.
00:19:01Lyra Valkyrie making sure that Sol Ruka did not steal a victory off that, off her own hard work.
00:19:07That was a wild sequence there.
00:19:10And now Lyra Valkyrie looks to take momentum.
00:19:14Yeah, we're going to bounce back in this one.
00:19:15It's been quiet thus far in the match, although things can change really quickly at this level.
00:19:20As we are seeing here, the adaptive Lyra Valkyrie slowly taking control of the entire match.
00:19:27Lyra going at a good pace right now.
00:19:31That's Fisherman's suplex there, although immediately on the scene, of course,
00:19:36Jade Cargill once again adamant that it's going to be her.
00:19:40Oh!
00:19:41What a counter into the DDT.
00:19:44Spike right on the top of the head.
00:19:45Natural selection by Flair.
00:19:48Could this be it for Charlotte Flair to advance?
00:19:51And Sol Ruka comes flying in with a senton to break it up.
00:19:56Oh, man, just in the nick of time.
00:19:58Perfect timing there from Sol Ruka, who is looking to snatch this right now.
00:20:03Charlotte's smart to get out of the way.
00:20:05Then eats an elbow.
00:20:07This is where all four women are now hurting.
00:20:09They're groggy, and somebody is ripe to be pinned or submitted.
00:20:13Make sure it isn't you.
00:20:18That big queen boot that Sol Ruka runs right into it.
00:20:22Now Flair is going up top.
00:20:24This is that championship rhythm of Charlotte Flair, and Sol Ruka knew it.
00:20:30Pretty hard to defend yourself against this kind of athleticism.
00:20:33Would you look at the balancing act by Sol Ruka?
00:20:39Lands on her feet.
00:20:40It's ludicrous.
00:20:42But gets run right into the corner, and that drops Flair as Lyra Valkyria now takes over control.
00:20:49Killed two birds with one stone, Lyra, but way it up.
00:20:52Here's Jade Cargill.
00:20:54Jade Cargill.
00:20:56Could she grab the two-for-one here?
00:21:01This is going to be ugly for somebody.
00:21:05Lyra's got Charlotte up on her shoulders, and they both go down.
00:21:11And Flair able to kick out at the last possible moment.
00:21:15Jade Cargill turned that almost into an avalanche Samoan drop, and it almost got the job done.
00:21:21But Charlotte Flair is simply too damn tough, and will not give up when there's something special,
00:21:28something gleaming on the line here.
00:21:30You saw Flair reaching for her back, reaching for her right arm after taking that.
00:21:35Oh, she's got her around the neck.
00:21:38But a massive right forearm, and a shot, and another right hand.
00:21:43Back and forth goes Flair.
00:21:45To show you how deep Charlotte Flair can dig when there's something precious at stake.
00:21:52Flair with a signature walkover clothesline.
00:21:56Flair closing in on that semifinal spot.
00:22:00The final spot alongside Io, Raquel, and Liv Morgan.
00:22:03Oh, Flair looking to close it out right here.
00:22:05But missile drop kick from Sol Ruka.
00:22:10Sol Ruka clearly hurting in a big way.
00:22:12That body in agony right now, but trying to block it out.
00:22:18The kip up and the rally up.
00:22:26Able to get out of the way.
00:22:28Jade runs right to that court.
00:22:29Meanwhile, quick roll-up.
00:22:32Lyra looking to take advantage.
00:22:34Sol Ruka.
00:22:35Pleased to have your wits about you.
00:22:36All times at this point in the matchup can steal a victory out of nowhere.
00:22:43Now, Lyra sizes things up.
00:22:46Oh, and she delivers and just wipes out Cargo out on the floor.
00:22:53Meanwhile, back in the ring.
00:22:54Here's Sol.
00:22:56Out to the floor.
00:22:58Takes all the rivals out.
00:23:01Absolute car crash outside the ring.
00:23:04And Sol, this is yours for the taking.
00:23:10But how much did that take out of Sol Ruka?
00:23:13And, of course, you need at least one of those women back in the ring with you to score that
00:23:17decisive fall.
00:23:18The women's intercontinental champion.
00:23:22Could she be setting the course for possibly fighting to be a double champion?
00:23:29Lyra denies it.
00:23:30What a match.
00:23:32First round action.
00:23:33Queen of the ring tournament.
00:23:46Well, we have seen some great performances in the first round of Queen of the Ring.
00:23:52Eo Sky, who moved into the semis, defeating Roxanne Perez and Julia and Lash Legend.
00:23:58Raquel Rodriguez was able to get through.
00:24:01And then, in a classic, Liv Morgan has Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, and Chelsea Green.
00:24:06And now these four women trying to fight and battle their way to see who advances.
00:24:12Yeah, and what a scramble it is at this point in the matchup.
00:24:15You see how quickly a ping can get turned inside out and almost stealing it there again
00:24:20was Sol Ruka, who is fighting a very smart fight here.
00:24:24And this looks as nasty as they come.
00:24:27Almost a modified tarantula.
00:24:28Wow, looking, stretching out Charlotte.
00:24:30And finally, Lyra able to free her as Lyra looks to do her own damage.
00:24:41Oh, and she's going to stretch her out every which way, Wade.
00:24:45Well, pendulum swing on its way.
00:24:49Oh, but she eats a massive kick from Jay.
00:24:52Right on the point of the nose there.
00:24:54And referee, wake up!
00:24:56Late to get there.
00:24:57Yeah, and I'd be furious if I was Jay Cargill after that.
00:25:00A good three seconds of pin went awry there.
00:25:04Referee slightly out of position.
00:25:06Checking in on Lyra Valkyria, who may be in a bad way in the corner.
00:25:10Oh!
00:25:11Oh!
00:25:11Oh!
00:25:12Talk about a bad way, knocking the stuffing out of Charlotte Flair now.
00:25:18Two women who simply do not like each other.
00:25:27Jade now getting the best of Sol Ruka in the corner.
00:25:31I mean, Jade is really sport for choice at this point.
00:25:34Three opponents, all of whom seem severely wounded now.
00:25:38Pick one, focus on her, and finish the job, Jade.
00:25:43Get yourself into those semi-finals.
00:25:45Get yourself that match-up with Liv Morgan.
00:25:49Let's go, Jade!
00:25:51Let's go, Jade!
00:25:52Let's go, Jade!
00:25:53Let's go, Jade!
00:25:54Right now you see the damage that Jade has done in every corner of this ring.
00:25:58Yeah, and get real frustration over Jade Cargill now.
00:26:01He's thrown out more offense than anybody in this match-up,
00:26:04but somehow these women are not giving up.
00:26:11Not doing more damage to the 14-time champion, Charlotte Flair.
00:26:17Every time you focus on Charlotte, of course, Sol Ruka and Lyra Valkyria
00:26:22get valuable time to recover.
00:26:24Try and will themselves back into the fight.
00:26:28Jade comes crashing into that corner.
00:26:31This has started to look too easy for Jade Cargill,
00:26:35the former women's WWE champ of Bam Tzu,
00:26:38to be once again.
00:26:56Back here in Providence for SmackDown.
00:26:58The winner of this Queen of the Ring tournament
00:27:00will be the fourth Queen of the Ring in history.
00:27:03Of course, we will have the finals on Night of Champions
00:27:06from Saudi Arabia streaming on ESPN on Saturday, June 27th.
00:27:11Jade Cargill is looking to advance out of this first round right now.
00:27:15Sol Ruka is in a much-compromised position in the drop zone.
00:27:19Yeah, you have to say Cargill's been the MVP of this one,
00:27:22at least in terms of offense thrown out.
00:27:25But Charlotte Flair, persistent in her pursuit of getting that crown,
00:27:31of progressing through to the semifinals,
00:27:33taking on Liv Morgan, whoever is victorious here tonight.
00:27:37Liv Morgan won her first round Fatal 4-Way.
00:27:39The winner here will face Liv Morgan.
00:27:42Charlotte Flair was taking some damage just moments ago in the corner.
00:27:45Now right back on her feet as Sol Ruka joins her
00:27:48as they look to double up against Jade Cargill.
00:27:51And they do!
00:27:52All the women in this match acutely aware that Jade Cargill
00:27:56is such a major, major threat here.
00:27:59So big, so powerful.
00:28:02Teaming up on her multiple times.
00:28:05Oh!
00:28:07Libra was wasting no time looking to take advantage.
00:28:10You have to move fast at this point in the matchup.
00:28:13You've got three women down, three women hurting.
00:28:15Pick the weak one and try and get that four.
00:28:20Flair back on her feet.
00:28:22Oh, and she eats a massive kick from Ruka.
00:28:25Yes, that quickness of Ruka once again that has proven pivotal.
00:28:28Oh!
00:28:29Would you look at the level of athleticism from Sol Ruka?
00:28:33Yeah, so much momentum and timing.
00:28:35It was pinpoint accuracy as was that boot from Jade Cargill.
00:28:40Massive pump kick from Jade Cargill.
00:28:44It's like a nasty shot to the head earlier, did Cargill.
00:28:47And she's looking to end this now with a jaded, Joe.
00:28:50She's lining up Charlotte Flair for a jaded.
00:28:54This could be over right here, right now.
00:28:58Oh!
00:28:59And Lyra Valkyria with just a half a second to spare.
00:29:05An absolute bullseye.
00:29:06And it had to be because it was game over there, Joe.
00:29:09Lyra was trying to set up Jade.
00:29:11But she gets sent out of the ring.
00:29:14Oh!
00:29:14A soul snatcher!
00:29:15A soul snatcher!
00:29:19One, two, one!
00:29:21No!
00:29:23She gets pulled out to the floor.
00:29:26Well, not Lyra Valkyria knows better than anybody the dangers of the soul snatcher
00:29:31after falling victim to her on Monday.
00:29:33But wait up!
00:29:34Harry Potter!
00:29:35This could be Lyra's for the taking.
00:29:39Natural selection!
00:29:40Charlotte Flair!
00:29:42Shoulders down counter!
00:29:46Somehow, Lyra Valkyria slipping out of that natural selection, going for Nightwing, maybe.
00:29:51She was looking for Nightwing, but Soruka was waiting on it.
00:29:55What a big boop from the queen.
00:29:57The pace of this is unreal.
00:30:00Watch out, Charlotte.
00:30:01If she locks it in, if she can bridge it, Charlotte Flair, figure eight, leg lock.
00:30:08There it is!
00:30:12Here is your winner by submission, Charlotte Flair!
00:30:19Oh, man.
00:30:20The last two minutes of that matchup, just an absolute demolition derby, Joe Tash.
00:30:26The stretch run to the wire of that fatal four-way was at an absolute outrageous pace.
00:30:35And in the end, the living legend, the future Hall of Famer, the 14-time world champion, did what she
00:30:45does best.
00:30:47And this is where it all went wrong for Jay Cargill, either that soul snatcher and soul have victory in
00:30:54the bag.
00:30:55But Lyra Valkyria on the outside, perfect timing to break that one up.
00:31:00But then, moments later, locked in the figure eight, there's the decision.
00:31:06Through to the semifinals now is Charlotte Flair and a matchup with the current women's world champion, Liv Morgan.
00:31:15All for the rights to progress to that final of the Queen of the Ring tournament at Night of Champions.
00:31:21Remember, the winner of the tournament gets a title shot at SummerSlam.
00:31:26Two-night SummerSlam at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minnesota, August 1st and 2nd.
00:31:32Will it be Charlotte Flair's time to shine?
00:31:37That was incredible down the stretch of that victory by Charlotte.
00:31:46Excuse me, Tiff, Charlotte just advanced in the Queen of the Ring tournament, but what made you go out there
00:31:51and help her?
00:31:52Look, I'm not going to pretend like I'm besties with Charlotte Flair, but we can both agree on one thing.
00:31:56We don't want Jade as our champion.
00:31:58Hey, Tiff, what's up?
00:31:58What do you want to get this for, huh?
00:32:04You want to fight?
00:32:05We're not afraid of you.
00:32:07We're not afraid of you.
00:32:08I'm going, Nicholas.
00:32:09I'm standing up to fight.
00:32:10I'm standing up to fight.
00:32:13You two, Bert, Tiffy and I.
00:32:24Uh-huh.
00:32:25Yeah, you're the king of the ring on the way.
00:32:26Come on.
00:32:27You're about to be mad tonight, God.
00:32:29Yeah.
00:32:32What you doing here, Jacob?
00:32:36You sent from your tribal chief.
00:32:38Yeah?
00:32:39That's funny.
00:32:39You already called the play.
00:32:41And the play is, Jay going to handle his business on his own tonight.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:46Yeah.
00:32:47Because I ain't here for Jay.
00:32:51I'm here to speak for Solo.
00:32:53Solo?
00:32:54Matter of fact, what you doing here?
00:32:57Man, I'm here to make sure nobody get involved.
00:33:00Nobody gets involved.
00:33:02Nobody.
00:33:03Okay.
00:33:04We'll handle your business.
00:33:07And I'm gonna handle mine.
00:33:12You got this, man.
00:33:13Don't even pay attention.
00:33:14I don't even know what you mean.
00:33:15I don't even know what you mean.
00:33:19Welcome, everyone, to the biggest event of the summer.
00:33:26We are getting carnage in summer's lap.
00:33:29I am completely in shock right now.
00:33:47As we've got Brady Swinson, Hugh Hutchins, Amari Gaynor, Kyle Williams, and then the linebackers
00:33:53coach, right here, Vinny De Palma brings his fiancée, Sarah, to Friday Night SmackDown.
00:33:59They're getting married in a week and a half, so we love having the Patriots here.
00:34:03De Palma's a sicko.
00:34:04He gets out belts for good plays during the season.
00:34:14Dear Diary, let's talk about Charlotte Black.
00:34:19Charlotte, I remember watching you as a part of the historic women's evolution.
00:34:26You are truly one of the greats.
00:34:30And with Alexa Bliss by your side, well, you're a match made in codependent heaven.
00:34:37I mean, what a farce.
00:34:39You've deluded yourselves into thinking you're stronger together.
00:34:42And you've only turned soft, weak.
00:34:46Like, friends aren't something I've ever burdened myself with.
00:34:51True stars shine brighter alone.
00:34:54And my beauty is blinding.
00:34:56Hold on tight to each other, girls.
00:34:59Because the glamour is coming to SmackDown.
00:35:03Yours truly, Blake Mineroux.
00:35:10Yeah, we're just waiting for this stipulation, so as soon as I know that.
00:35:14In fact, I think I'm going to find out right now.
00:35:15Excuse me.
00:35:19Okay, Gunther.
00:35:20Everything is set for your rematch with Cody next week in Kansas City.
00:35:24All we're waiting for now is your stipulation, so lay it on me.
00:35:30So, Nick, if we established one thing in the last weeks,
00:35:33then it is that I can trust your betting of the officials around here.
00:35:38Okay.
00:35:39So, for my title match next week, a match that important, I can't trust your choice.
00:35:46So, I am going to pick the referee for the match.
00:35:52You pick the referee?
00:35:54Okay.
00:35:55Fine.
00:35:56Who's it going to be?
00:35:58You really want to know, don't you?
00:36:00Yes, please.
00:36:03High stakes, Nick.
00:36:04I'm contemplating.
00:36:06I let you know by the end of the night.
00:36:18Excuse me, Finn.
00:36:19Big first night for you on SmackDown.
00:36:21The opportunity to advance in the King of the Ring tournament.
00:36:24But first, I wanted to ask you, how are you feeling about Friday nights?
00:36:27Kathy, I could not be more excited to be here on SmackDown.
00:36:31But this new chapter, it doesn't erase the past.
00:36:34I got some old friends here, but I got a lot of old foes, too.
00:36:38But first things first, tonight, I enter the King of the Ring tournament.
00:36:45You brought the care with you to SmackDown.
00:36:48You lost your muscles.
00:36:49You've been working out with Don.
00:36:52Welcome to SmackDown, dawg.
00:36:54Judgment Day is back together again.
00:36:57You, me, mom, and DP can't wait to see you.
00:37:00Tommy, Nick, nobody really cared about them.
00:37:03Anyway, I've been thinking about the proper way to introduce Royce into the Judgment Day.
00:37:06You know what I'm saying?
00:37:07The proper way, like, I had to sell merch.
00:37:10I had to swim with sharks.
00:37:12I had to constipation a wedding.
00:37:14Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:37:15Don't you mean consummate a wedding?
00:37:16I don't know if that's PG.
00:37:22Judgment Day is back together again.
00:37:24Welcome to SmackDown, dawg.
00:37:26Welcome to SmackDown.
00:37:28Happy to be here.
00:37:31Oh, I know what it is.
00:37:31This looks awkward, right?
00:37:34We're the tag team champions, dawg.
00:37:35It's okay.
00:37:36You're going to become King of the Ring tonight.
00:37:38And we can build a clubhouse inside the castle.
00:37:41Behind the moat.
00:37:43You know what?
00:37:44I have a match.
00:37:45I'm going to get ready.
00:37:48We take care of it.
00:37:49We love you, Finn.
00:37:51No, we don't.
00:37:52We do.
00:37:52Look, I know you're a good dude and you want to trust everyone.
00:37:55But look, I thought I knew that guy.
00:37:58And look at what he did to me.
00:38:00Me and you are the tag champs, right?
00:38:02Right.
00:38:02This is all that matters.
00:38:04This is all I care about.
00:38:05Next week, we have the MFTs.
00:38:06And guess what?
00:38:07When it's over, we're still going to be the tag team champions.
00:38:11Because it's just me and you.
00:38:13That's all we need.
00:38:15All right?
00:38:16My dog.
00:38:16Me and you, dog.
00:38:17Yeah, yeah.
00:38:19Classic Judgment Day.
00:38:21Live, laugh, and love.
00:38:23Judgment Day is on the rise again.
00:38:26Free for us.
00:38:27Oh, that's true.
00:38:28You've got to feel bad for Damien Priest, who has the impatience of a saint around our dream.
00:38:34I don't know how he does it.
00:38:35Can I build it behind the moat?
00:38:36One, one, one, one, one, one.
00:38:37Let's see.
00:38:39One, one, one, one, two, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, three.
00:38:57The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:39:00Introducing first, they are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, Paige and WWE Hall of Famer, Brie Bella!
00:39:11It's time to show the new kids in town that they won't match down.
00:39:16Paige and Brie, the Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:39:21They are in action next against J.C. Jane's fatal influence right here on SmackDown from New England.
00:39:38Well, we always have amazing events in Atlanta and we're heading back there.
00:39:42It's going to be a special edition Sunday night's main event.
00:39:46That's right, Sunday, September 6th, Sunday night's main event at State Farm Arena.
00:39:51Tickets are on sale now, only on Ticketmaster.
00:39:58And look what was just announced, Wade.
00:40:00Oh, breaking news after that kendo-clad Chelsea confrontation, we're going to have ourselves a tag match later tonight.
00:40:08Tiffany Stratton and Chelsea Green taking on B-Fab and Meechin.
00:40:13That's right here on SmackDown later tonight.
00:40:16Chelsea came in, won that kendo stick to try to protect Tiffany.
00:40:21Yeah, much needed, I would add.
00:40:23Tiffany presumably about to get a real beatdown from Meechin and B-Fab.
00:40:27Brie and Paige await their opponents.
00:40:31I get saved in the night, now we won't let you in.
00:40:36Cause we hold on the light, now I'll blind you in the way.
00:40:41It's been another prize, you can't stay the same.
00:40:47So stay away from Meechin.
00:40:49We'll take over this game.
00:40:56And their opponents, accompanied by KCK, Alan Henley, and Lady Rhee, Fatal Influence.
00:41:06Fatal Influence, the group that says loyalty is our currency, and has reveled this week on social media over last
00:41:14week's ambush on the champs.
00:41:18Okay, that's enough, be it.
00:41:20Okay, Chance, can we help you baby girl, is this something you need?
00:41:23Actually Paige, we can't.
00:41:25I mean, J.C. just suffered her first big loss on SmackDown.
00:41:29But don't worry, J.C.
00:41:31Uh-oh, because lying in wait for the rest of Fatal Influence, Fallon Henley and Lady Rhee,
00:41:38alongside J.C. Jane, delivered a major beating to the champs, before holding aloft the women's tag titles,
00:41:45making it clear where the focus of this group lies right now.
00:41:52Tell you what, Joe, if you're looking for trouble, you have come to the right place.
00:41:58Fatal Influence bring nothing but trouble wherever they go.
00:42:04But damn, is it exciting to watch.
00:42:10They have been major disruptors since arriving on the scene.
00:42:15And that's how you have to be, and J.C. Jane looking resplendent at ringside,
00:42:19leading this group all the way to a potential showdown with tag champs.
00:42:24Let's see how they do in this matchup.
00:42:29Fallon Henley getting right to business against Brie Bella.
00:42:33And look, the women's tag division for the past 12 months has been highly combustible.
00:42:37Well, it looked like we were going to have a period of calm, but before we could get that, of
00:42:41course,
00:42:42Fatal Influence rock up.
00:42:44And just like the damage and trouble they caused in NXT,
00:42:48they've done exactly the same here on the blue brand.
00:42:52Now, Brie getting right to it.
00:42:55Into the cover.
00:42:57So, Fatal Influence, all-out aggression from the word go every single week.
00:43:02And what Paige and Brie Bella have up their sleeve is that veteran instinct.
00:43:08Smarts to know when to step backwards, when to step sideways,
00:43:12and when to go straight forwards like they're seeing right now.
00:43:16Yeah, double-team bulldog, and then that massive running knee from Paige.
00:43:20Yeah, and that's just an experience factor now,
00:43:23when you're sometimes a little hot under the collar,
00:43:26hot under the collar coming out here,
00:43:28looking to make a real statement against the tag champs.
00:43:31You make a little mistake, you get a little ahead of yourselves,
00:43:33as Laney Reed and Fatal Infantle have done thus far,
00:43:36and right now it's Laney Reed's turn to take a beating from the champs.
00:43:41Brie tags back in.
00:43:44And you know what's going on.
00:43:47So did Fallon Henley.
00:43:48Yet there's nothing she could do to stop it.
00:43:51And Brie Bella is on fire right now.
00:43:54With reason to be.
00:43:59Yes, kicks delivered.
00:44:01And meanwhile, Paige is doing damage on the apron.
00:44:05It's like a hot knife cutting through butter right now.
00:44:09It's simply too easy for the tag champs.
00:44:12And Fallon Henley and Laney Reed need to come up with some answers real quick.
00:44:17Oh, and that's ripped up by JC Jane.
00:44:20The leader of Fatal Influence apparently had an answer.
00:44:24And that might be a game-changing moment in this one.
00:44:28Laney Reed now just pounding down a series of left hands.
00:44:34From Laney Reed didn't immediately go for the pin there.
00:44:37Knows full well that Brie Bella is a tag champ for a reason.
00:44:41In part because she's double tough.
00:44:43Knowing she's not going to get putt away with a cheap pin.
00:44:46Now compounding that damage after the trip from the outside of JC Jane.
00:44:51And as if that leg drop wasn't enough,
00:44:53look at the damage that Brie Bella is taking.
00:44:56The extra force on those upper cuts running into that corner.
00:45:01Hooking the leg.
00:45:03What a great rhythm Fallon Henley and Laney Reed have had once they did get the upper hand.
00:45:08As Fallon Henley now going to town on Brie Bella with his cravat.
00:45:12Squeezing the life out of Brie Bella.
00:45:16Fallon Henley, the former NXT North American champion.
00:45:23Brie Bella was expecting a clothesline there.
00:45:26However, Fallon went low.
00:45:27Punch to the gut.
00:45:28But somehow making the tag.
00:45:29And the referee didn't see it.
00:45:31And you can see Fallon Henley was not trying to stop that tag attempt
00:45:36because there was a distraction from Laney Reed.
00:45:39And the ref didn't see the tag.
00:45:40So the ref is claiming that Brie Bella is still the legal participant here.
00:45:45Brie Bella, who has taken serious damage.
00:45:48Paige was running in.
00:45:49And all of a sudden it's Brie still taking damage from Henley and Reed.
00:45:54Great ring awareness though from Fatal Influence.
00:45:58You might not like it, but that is devastating.
00:46:01From the blockbuster right into the hook of the leg.
00:46:03And Brie survives it.
00:46:04Come on, Brie!
00:46:05Tag team action here in Providence on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:46:16Wait, this has been a tough go of it for Brie Bella.
00:46:19Yeah, ever since the involvement of JC Jane on the outside.
00:46:23This one did a full 180.
00:46:25And Brie Bella is getting punished in every corner of the ring now.
00:46:30Of course, with some additional shots again from leader of Fatal Influence, JC Jane.
00:46:38Trying to create some separation in that rival corner.
00:46:41Oh, Brie's not going to...
00:46:43Very well done!
00:46:47Shot right to the jaw from Laney Reed and getting the fresher Fallon Henley in there now to up the
00:46:54ante somewhat.
00:47:00Fallon Henley, someone who's had a lot of success down in NXT.
00:47:04Won the NXT North American Championship and also the NXT Tag Championships during her time there.
00:47:11Looking to soon add some gold to Fatal Influence here on SmackDown.
00:47:16Let's go!
00:47:22Let's go!
00:47:24Let's go!
00:47:27Brie!
00:47:27Brie!
00:47:28Let's go!
00:47:29Let's go!
00:47:33Let's go!
00:47:34Brie desperate to just fight her way out of this situation.
00:47:37Providence crowd desperately backing Brie Bella, the veteran in this one.
00:47:42We're getting ragdolled now by a stronger Fallon Henley.
00:47:46And Brie Bella is in big trouble now.
00:47:49Paige on the outside wants the tag.
00:47:51But there seems to be very little movement coming from Brie Bella now.
00:47:55And I want to be impressed with Fatal Influence since they have arrived on the SmackDown roster.
00:47:59This is their third act on SmackDown.
00:48:02This combination of Laney Reed and Fallon Henley.
00:48:04Big shot on Paige from Laney Reed.
00:48:08Just peppering Brie Bella with shots.
00:48:10And you question how much longer Brie Bella is going to be able to withstand this.
00:48:14And now once again a chance for a double tee.
00:48:16Based on what we've seen, we've already crossed that line.
00:48:21She has not been mounting any offense at all for a few minutes.
00:48:26Yeah, there's nothing at all coming back the other way.
00:48:28And Brie Bella simply playing defense at this point.
00:48:31Just desperately clinging on.
00:48:33Hoping at some point there's going to be a window to leap across and make that tag to Paige.
00:48:40Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie!
00:48:49Come on Brie! Come on Brie!
00:48:49That one Henley just ragdolling her now locking up Brie.
00:48:54Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie!
00:49:03Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on
00:49:05Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come
00:49:08on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie!
00:49:10Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on
00:49:14Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come
00:49:24on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie!
00:49:27Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come on Brie! Come
00:49:33sustaining a long attack in the midst of this tag team match
00:49:38against Fallon Henley and Rainey Reed.
00:49:40Desperate to get to Paige.
00:49:42It's surprising that Brie Bella is still alive in this one
00:49:45after the amount of punishment she's had to absorb
00:49:47and she's not got close to a tag to Paige on the outside
00:49:50who is as fresh as a daisy,
00:49:53but still trying to engineer something is one half of the tag champ.
00:49:56Rainey Reed out there on the apron.
00:49:59Nice protector move there from Fallon Henley,
00:50:02saving Lainey Reed.
00:50:03Oh, look at Brie!
00:50:05And here comes Paige!
00:50:08The moment the world has been waiting for,
00:50:11no more so than Paige herself.
00:50:17Nice snap German suplex there,
00:50:19and this is a lot of frustration now seeping out of the paws of Paige,
00:50:23and poor Lainey Reed is the recipient.
00:50:27Paige has been waiting,
00:50:29and then uncaged,
00:50:31and now absolutely getting the best of Lainey Reed.
00:50:36Yeah, Paige suddenly looking absolutely vicious inside that ring.
00:50:40The veteran, huge part of the women's revolution.
00:50:43Oh, boy.
00:50:43Oh, boy.
00:50:43They can't get it going.
00:50:44Here we go, Joe.
00:50:45PTO right here.
00:50:46Absolutely.
00:50:46That Paige tap out.
00:50:48Look at that.
00:50:48Oh, she's going to lock it in.
00:50:50Oh, she's going to lock it in.
00:50:52Won countless matches with this one.
00:50:54Fallon Henley enters the fray.
00:50:57Yeah, just when Lainey Reed was no doubt about to tap out on that one,
00:51:00but look out.
00:51:02Oh, Paige.
00:51:08Oh, Rampage.
00:51:09Paige laying her shoulders down.
00:51:11And again, Fallon Henley.
00:51:14Yeah, had to be on the money on that one.
00:51:16Once again, Fallon Henley proving pivotal for keeping this match alive for fatal influence.
00:51:21Whoa.
00:51:21Knee right to the jaw.
00:51:23Free came in with the missile drop kick and then ate a huge knee.
00:51:26Meanwhile, what's the ref doing?
00:51:28The roll up.
00:51:31A referee sweeping up on the outside,
00:51:33trying to get Brie Beller out of the ring,
00:51:35took the eye off the ball.
00:51:37And that was enough of fatal influence to turn this thing around again.
00:51:41Fallon Henley now.
00:51:43What can she offer up?
00:51:46For fatal influence.
00:51:48Smart move by Brie Beller.
00:51:50We're in the ring out after that flapjack on Paige,
00:51:54and referee starting to lose control on this one.
00:51:58Paige trying to get right back into it, Wade.
00:52:02Looking for a second bite of the cherry with his PTO,
00:52:05this time on Fallon Henley.
00:52:07Let's see if she can get this PTO here.
00:52:10JC Jane is pulling on the arm.
00:52:13Referee caught her red-handed.
00:52:18She's out of here.
00:52:24What are you talking about?
00:52:25Well, it's difficult to defend yourself when you are busted red-handed by the referee.
00:52:29Finally, after several times getting involved in the match, but again.
00:52:33Oh, small package here.
00:52:35Oh, hold on.
00:52:35What you look at what Brie just said?
00:52:37How brilliant was that?
00:52:41Here are your winners.
00:52:42The WWE Women's Tag Team Champion, Brie Beller and Paige.
00:52:49Well, Fatal Influence beaten at their own game behind the referee's back.
00:52:55Now, Fatal Influence arguably had the match of one,
00:53:00but from the outside, changing things around, came Brie Beller.
00:53:04That was so impressive.
00:53:06When you see the ring generalship, the veteran's skill to do this.
00:53:11Well, there's the role that Brie Beller had me.
00:53:13Small package turned around by an illegal Brie Beller behind the referee's back.
00:53:18And that's a match cheating from Fatal Influence.
00:53:21Since the champs pulled out the right move at the right time
00:53:25and gave Fatal Influence a little taste of their own medicine there, Jim.
00:53:29Hey, a reminder that we will continue on with the King of the Ring tournament tonight.
00:53:33James Show, LA Knight, Fifth Hour, and Royce Keys in a Fatal 4-Way.
00:53:38But wait, there's a lot to tackle when it comes to Sam and Zayn, Gunther, and Cody Rhodes after last
00:53:43week.
00:53:45You're the one who said,
00:53:46you are going to beat Gunther and teach me a lesson.
00:53:50Well, when do you want to teach me that lesson?
00:53:55Cody was pondering this Gunther attack from behind once again,
00:53:59locking Cody in the sleeper.
00:54:02This time, however, Sami saved Cody.
00:54:04Allowing the champ, Will Chester fight back.
00:54:08And then a three-way brawl broke out.
00:54:10Now, Cody, to his credit, tried to throw a dive the way of Gunther
00:54:14and inadvertently dropped Sami instead.
00:54:17Now, Gunther made his exit.
00:54:19Cody's attempts on an apology fell on deaf ears.
00:54:23Tensions between the two continuing to grow.
00:54:28I swear, it's like you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't.
00:54:33I do nothing, and I'm somehow the bad guy.
00:54:35I do something, and it still ends up with me paying the price.
00:54:38And this is all with a supposed friend, mind you.
00:54:41I swear, this happens enough, and at a certain point,
00:54:44you've got to start asking yourself some serious questions.
00:54:46Oh, serious questions.
00:54:48Like, when are you going to get up and do something about it?
00:54:52You know what?
00:54:54You're right.
00:54:55I am going to do something about it.
00:54:57I'm going to go out there and talk to Cody
00:54:59and clear the air once and for all.
00:55:02Thanks, Johnny.
00:55:17It's Clamberator!
00:55:32Thanks, Johnny.
00:55:39Keep the balance.
00:55:41Straight from the balance.
00:55:43Keep the balance.
00:55:44Straight from the balance.
00:55:45I'll push the ball back.
00:55:47I'll take a couple of notes.
00:55:48Offset the balance.
00:55:49I bet I'm racing the goal.
00:55:51Be careful.
00:56:00Hey, hey, hey.
00:56:01Wow, hey, some devils.
00:56:02What were I meant for you, man?
00:56:03Hey, listen, you have to recurse the Knicks.
00:56:06I don't think so.
00:56:07No, please, please, please, please.
00:56:08We put a lot of money on the spurs, and if they win tomorrow,
00:56:11we're getting a huge payout.
00:56:13Why would I care?
00:56:15Hey, what's this?
00:56:16Wow, you make money.
00:56:18Hey, amigo.
00:56:18There's a bonus.
00:56:19Oh yeah?
00:56:19I'll keep your Mexico national team, OK?
00:56:22Yeah, OK.
00:56:22I'm not doing that.
00:56:23I'll keep your money.
00:56:23Hey, Zach, how are you?
00:56:25Listen, it's Matt.
00:56:26And listen, you've got to keep the Knicks on purpose, OK?
00:56:28I don't want to know, Zach.
00:56:28I agree.
00:56:29Yeah, that's a good idea.
00:56:30But I do need some human money for that.
00:56:32I don't actually have any money with me.
00:56:34That's a nice watch.
00:56:35The watch?
00:56:36Yeah.
00:56:36You know what?
00:56:37Anything for the Knicks.
00:56:38Yeah, that's right.
00:56:39Let's do it.
00:56:39For the Knicks, baby.
00:56:40Let's go.
00:56:41Give me that ring, too.
00:56:42Darnhausen.
00:56:43Wow.
00:56:44And you can get your chiseled jaw out of here.
00:56:46Hello, Mr. Wilson.
00:56:48I've been gone two weeks.
00:56:49And look what you've done to the Miz.
00:56:52Oh, I think he looks pretty cool.
00:56:54No, he doesn't.
00:56:55Hoorah!
00:56:56Ever since you electrocuted him, he's stuck saying his own catchphrase.
00:56:59He's jealous.
00:56:59His catchphrase.
00:57:00Look at him!
00:57:01Yeah, 2010.
00:57:01That's pretty good.
00:57:02Reverse it.
00:57:03Reverse it now.
00:57:04No, let me try something.
00:57:05Hey, the Miz, what do you think of Darnhausen today?
00:57:08Awesome!
00:57:09No, he's awesome!
00:57:10He's not.
00:57:10Stop this!
00:57:11Yes!
00:57:11When my hand goes up, your mouth goes shut.
00:57:14Shut his.
00:57:14Zone in.
00:57:15Zone in.
00:57:16Master inspired.
00:57:17That's the wrong one!
00:57:19Reverse this!
00:57:20Stop this now!
00:57:20I like him.
00:57:21I think he's great.
00:57:22Really?
00:57:22Yes.
00:57:23Really?
00:57:24Really?
00:57:25Yes.
00:57:29Okay.
00:57:35See you later.
00:57:40Awesome!
00:57:44Oh, who's gonna stop this Darnhausen?
00:57:47He's a miniscule catch.
00:57:49I gotta go back to that before story sometime.
00:57:52Stay away as a death trap.
00:57:59Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Tammy Zay!
00:58:05Sammy Zayn, who we've been watching as he uses Johnny Gargano less as a sounding board,
00:58:11more as a sounding sponge.
00:58:14And now this great crowd here in Providence, and the entire world can absorb the message
00:58:20from an often frustrated Sammy Zayn lately.
00:58:25Look at him his real name.
00:58:27He's the last real good guy left.
00:58:30As the teacher told you, Joe.
00:58:32Says it's really easy to remember now.
00:58:35Even you shouldn't be able to mess that up, but you did.
00:58:38And poor Sammy Zayn has got the short end of the stick on more than one occasion over the past
00:58:44several months.
00:58:45And things need to change around here in a big way.
00:58:47You are such a ride or die.
00:58:49Always have been, always will been.
00:58:51You are ride or die to the max, Baron.
00:58:53Because I'm a real one, unlike you, Joe Test.
00:58:56Journalist.
00:58:56Change your mind with the weather, that's your problem.
00:58:59No loyalty.
00:58:59Down the middle, TV presenter.
00:59:01Nonsense.
00:59:12Crowds in Europe were better than this.
00:59:15They all cheered Sammy Zayn.
00:59:17They're real ones.
00:59:45I gotta say, a little bit of a strange reaction.
00:59:51Considering I was in Europe for the last couple of weeks, and I'm not comparing the European crowd to the
00:59:58American crowd.
00:59:59I'm not doing that.
01:00:01But, I will say that the rider dies showed up in full force for me in Europe.
01:00:08Alright?
01:00:15But look, you're here, I'm here.
01:00:19You have two choices right now.
01:00:22You could either sit there with a sour look on your face and boo me.
01:00:31Or, you can ride or die with the last real good guy.
01:00:43I hear you.
01:00:45I hear you.
01:00:47Ride or die, baby.
01:00:55Improve.
01:00:56получается.
01:00:57As much as I would love to come out here, and party with the diehards.
01:01:02With the day ones.
01:01:03That's not why I'm out here.
01:01:04I'm out here because something has been brewing for months and months, and it needs
01:01:08to come to an end.
01:01:09I want to clear the air
01:01:11once and for all with one man
01:01:14so come on out there
01:01:15I know you're back there
01:01:17Cody Rhodes
01:01:27as much as I would love to come out here
01:01:41A trend in my soul
01:01:44Everybody out of control
01:01:47Do it all to get them off their feet
01:01:53Crowd is here, about to flow
01:01:56Made for me to start to show
01:01:59Out the cut, like a one from home
01:02:04Whoa!
01:02:10When all we don't know
01:02:13Our country's in the land
01:02:17Bernie Rhodes, who defended that undisputed WWE Championship
01:02:22at Clash in Italy against Gunther
01:02:24Immediately said, Gunther wants a rematch, he's got it
01:02:28Waiting news on the terms and the stipulation
01:02:31that Gunther wants to put forth
01:02:34Now coming out to meet Sami Zayn
01:02:37Well, Gunther told us earlier
01:02:38We know there is going to be a special guest referee
01:02:41Who that's going to be
01:02:42Hopefully we find out by the end of the show
01:02:44As we said, there was a highly controversial matchup
01:02:48And Clash in Italy
01:02:50Hence why there is a rematch
01:02:52And hence why there's an issue now
01:02:54With Sami Zayn
01:02:55Because the exact words of Cody Rhodes were
01:02:58Let me beat Gunther and Clash in Italy
01:03:01And then Sami, you have got next
01:03:04However
01:03:26So
01:03:31Providence, Rhode Island
01:03:37What was the dunk?
01:03:39Now the amp
01:03:40One of my favorite arenas on earth
01:03:43And you know why
01:03:44My good friend, Sami Zayn
01:03:49What do you want to talk about?
01:03:52Okay, could you
01:03:54Could you not do that?
01:03:55Could you not do this?
01:03:57Could you not
01:03:57For one second
01:03:58Could you not be the American Nightmare?
01:04:01Can you just be Cody for one second?
01:04:04Can you just be my friend
01:04:06So we can have an earnest
01:04:07And honest conversation here?
01:04:09Cody, because it seems like
01:04:11There's been a bit of a pattern
01:04:12Developing here
01:04:13For the last
01:04:14I don't know, few months
01:04:16A series of let's call them
01:04:17Misunderstandings
01:04:19A situation where
01:04:21I find myself
01:04:22Helping you
01:04:23And over and over
01:04:25I find myself
01:04:26Paying the price for it
01:04:30I hear that
01:04:31I hear that
01:04:47Cody, you made me feel
01:04:49Like the worst person in the world
01:04:50A couple of weeks ago
01:04:51When Guthrie was choking you out
01:04:53And I let it happen
01:04:55I turned my back
01:04:56I walked away
01:04:57Even though in all honesty
01:04:58Cody
01:04:59On that particular night
01:05:00That is what you deserved
01:05:02Okay
01:05:03I'm being honest
01:05:04I'm being honest
01:05:08But last week
01:05:09You find yourself
01:05:11In the same position
01:05:12You're getting choked out
01:05:13By Guthrie
01:05:14And what do I do?
01:05:15I do the right thing, Cody
01:05:17I do right by you
01:05:18I help you
01:05:19And how does that night end for me?
01:05:21I still end up
01:05:22Flat on my back
01:05:23And you're standing tall
01:05:24And Cody
01:05:25This keeps happening
01:05:26Over and over
01:05:26So at a certain point
01:05:28I have to ask myself
01:05:30Is this an accident?
01:05:36So I want you
01:05:37To just tell me
01:05:38The truth
01:05:57Sammy, you're asking me
01:06:00Basically to explain
01:06:01Pro wrestling to you
01:06:03Which you don't need
01:06:04Explained to you
01:06:05You're one of the absolute best
01:06:07In the entire world
01:06:08No, no
01:06:09You're talking about accidents
01:06:11These were in the confines
01:06:13Of a wrestling match
01:06:13This is competition here
01:06:15And then you're asking me
01:06:16To turn it off?
01:06:17Turn it off?
01:06:19You called me out
01:06:20In a public forum
01:06:21My man
01:06:22You're wearing a brand new
01:06:23WWE merch shirt
01:06:25Which I think I believe
01:06:26More than you believe
01:06:27Turn it off?
01:06:30That's what I need to do
01:06:31Is turn it off
01:06:31And besides
01:06:32Besides
01:06:34You and I
01:06:35Should not be standing here
01:06:38Think about
01:06:39Two years ago
01:06:41The biggest moment
01:06:42Of my entire career
01:06:43Something I thought
01:06:44Would never happen
01:06:46WrestleMania 40
01:06:47A memory that I share
01:06:48With you
01:06:49You were in the ring
01:06:50That night
01:06:50No, no, no
01:06:51Cody, let's be clear
01:06:52About something
01:06:52I wasn't just some guy
01:06:54In the ring that night
01:06:55I was the first guy
01:06:56In the ring that night
01:06:58When you finished your story
01:07:00And won the WWE championship
01:07:03First
01:07:03I was there before

01:07:06Jey Uso
01:07:07Or LA Knight

01:07:11I was there first
01:07:13Even though
01:07:13Let's be honest
01:07:14For a second
01:07:14If anybody
01:07:15Had any reason
01:07:17To have some sour grapes
01:07:18About you winning that night
01:07:19It would have been me
01:07:21But I didn't
01:07:22I was happy for you
01:07:24Even still to this day
01:07:25I'm happy for you
01:07:27You know why?
01:07:28Because I

01:07:34I was happy for you
01:07:36Cody
01:07:37I really was
01:07:39But all those guys
01:07:41That I listed
01:07:42How many of them
01:07:43Are
01:07:44Are still your friends
01:07:45Now
01:07:48So it just gets me
01:07:49Thinking
01:07:50Is the problem
01:07:51All of those guys
01:07:52Or is the problem
01:07:54You
01:08:06Everything is about
01:08:07Change
01:08:08And you know that
01:08:09Especially here
01:08:09You have to be better
01:08:11Than you were the day before

01:08:18Kevin Owens
01:08:19You're talking about
01:08:19Randy Orton
01:08:20You're talking about
01:08:20John Cena
01:08:21I was not able
01:08:23To be honest with them
01:08:24In a way that I need
01:08:26To be honest
01:08:27With you
01:08:27That's all I'm asking for
01:08:29Cody
01:08:29I'm here

01:08:31Just be honest
01:08:32With me

01:08:43Listening to this BS
01:08:44Here's me being honest
01:08:46With you
01:08:46They are booing you
01:08:48They are chanting
01:08:50Sammy sucked
01:08:51And the reason is
01:08:52Is because lately
01:08:53You do suck
01:08:55You're whining
01:08:56You're crying
01:09:00You're not the Sammy Zane
01:09:02That they fell in love with
01:09:04Not the Sammy Zane
01:09:05That they took a ride with
01:09:06You're not my Sammy Zane
01:09:08You're something else
01:09:09If anything

01:09:17That it's about
01:09:19Anything

01:09:24WWE Championship
01:09:26And I owe you an apology
01:09:29I am sorry
01:09:31I'm sorry that I have this

01:10:09I was out of line
01:10:11I'm sorry

01:10:29We're good
01:10:31We're good
01:11:01We're good
01:11:02Oh, no.
01:11:33That got right to the brink.
01:11:52Solo.
01:11:59What the hell do you want?
01:12:02I got a message from the OTC.
01:12:04About what?
01:12:08Solo, it's been way too long and long enough.
01:12:14He needs you to come home.
01:12:20Home?
01:12:22He wants me to come home.
01:12:24That's what your travel chief said.
01:12:28That ain't home, Jacob.
01:12:30That's a doghouse.
01:12:32And you're his lap dog.
01:12:35You know what? I don't understand this.
01:12:38What the hell happened to you?
01:12:40Huh?
01:12:42You used to be a killer.
01:12:44A man that everybody was afraid of.
01:12:47The Samoa werewolf.
01:12:49A man who was this close to being Roman.
01:12:51And now, you're just his background.
01:12:57And you know I'm right because I am still standing here and you've done nothing but come here and deliver
01:13:04a message from who?
01:13:06Your tribal chief?
01:13:10Listen to me.
01:13:12Listen to me.
01:13:13Roman has done nothing but embarrass you.
01:13:19Humiliated you.
01:13:20Oh, made you kneel down like a dog in front of the whole world and in front of our, and
01:13:28in front of our family, Jacob.
01:13:29And that right there, that is not how you treat somebody that you love.
01:13:35But he wants me to come back?
01:13:38I'm not going back.
01:13:41So tell Roman.
01:13:44He can go to hell.
01:13:49I get it.
01:13:53I understand.
01:13:55Everything you talking about.
01:13:58I understand where you coming from.
01:14:03But I made my decision already.
01:14:05And I'm a stand on business.
01:14:08So if the OTC sends me for you.
01:14:14Hey, Solo.
01:14:18I'm coming for you.
01:14:25Okay, Jacob.
01:14:28You tell Roman, if he wants me to come back home, then he can come and get me.
01:14:44Well, that's a massive message delivered by Jacob, but that's a return to sender by Solo Wave.
01:14:50Yeah, you take Solo back into the bloodline.
01:14:54You're going to have to drag him there, kicking and screaming by the sounds of things.
01:14:58Listen, we're still buzzing about what happened on AAA.
01:15:01Masked versus Masked, all-time classic.
01:15:03But also, how about the Cruiserweight Championship, recently won by Ray Phoenix?
01:15:12Phoenix would love to hold the Cruiserweight Championship once again.
01:15:16Laredo Kid has ruled for 539 days.
01:15:22Two of the greatest Cruiserweights of all time going at it.
