00:00We're facing Meechan and B-Fab, who we saw earlier tonight trying to influence our Queen of the Rings first
00:05round
00:05Fatal 4-Way match that was won by Charlotte Flair
00:08After involvement from Tiffany Stratton, so there may be a little payback coming away of Tiffany Stratton from Meechan and
00:15B-Fab right now
00:16B-Fabulous
00:33The team of B-Fab and Meechan
00:38The team of B-Fab and Meechan
00:41Who got involved with our Fatal 4-Way earlier
00:45And then it took Alexa Bliss to come down and try to help out
00:47And that was Tiffany Stratton doing the right thing running down to the ring
00:51To deal with Meechan and Meechan
00:53Only to see them then come back stage
00:56Where it was Chelsea Green who came to their defense
00:59With a kendo stick in hand
01:00I mean, doing the right thing, Tiffany Stratton chasing them off is a matter of perspective
01:05And what's important here is the perspective of Meechan, B-Fab and I'm sure Jake Cardinal
01:10And they would not agree that it was the right thing
01:13But you're right, Joe, luckily for Tiffany Stratton
01:15A friend in need, a friend indeed
01:17Chelsea Green arrives with a kendo stick
01:20And now we have our tag match
01:21And Chelsea Green seems absolutely elated
01:24That her mission to befriend, Tiffany Stratton
01:27Is finally paying some dividends
01:29Tiffany's saying you just, you go right over there
01:31I don't think Tiffany Stratton quite respects the in-ring abilities of Chelsea Green quite yet
01:37I have to say they're growing into their relationship
01:40Well, Tiffany Stratton is the one who needs to grow into it more than Chelsea
01:44Who I think is already fully on board with the relationship
01:47Tiffany Stratton off to a good start here
01:50And I understand it from Chelsea's perspective
01:52Let's not forget, a couple of weeks ago Chelsea Green did defeat Nia Jax of all people
01:56With some assistance from Tiffany Stratton
01:58However, last week, without Stratton's assistance available
02:02She lost to Lash Legend
02:04So, no wonder she wants a little backup around here right now
02:09Each hit following her corner to corner
02:13Spectacular movement here from the United States Champion
02:16Tiffany Stratton
02:17The cartwheel Alabama slam
02:21Now Chelsea Green
02:24Into the mix
02:27Chelsea, despite her gold-clad career
02:31Including winning that United States Championship
02:33Once upon a time, clearly has to earn a stripes
02:36A little bit in the eyes of her team partner
02:38Tiffany Stratton
02:39But it was a nice flurry there
02:40Showed some initial chemistry together
02:43But this is where problems may start to occur
02:46And now B-Fab
02:48With a striking attack
02:49The big kick
02:50Hooks the leg
02:51And Chelsea gets that left shoulder up
02:54Yeah, B-Fab has been very impressive
02:56Since linking up with Jade Cargill
02:58Dunn waiting for opportunities
02:59Just on the take now
03:01Taking what she views as hers
03:03Although Chelsea clearly has a very different perspective
03:08Driving that right forearm in
03:10And now Mee Chin
03:11Quickly tagged
03:12And you will see the teamwork between B-Fab and Mee Chin
03:17Slamming Green down
03:19Mee Chin is absolute menace in that ring
03:21When she gets going
03:22As we just witnessed there
03:24Cheap shot on the illegal partner
03:26Tiffany Stratton
03:27And the boot to the jaw
03:28For good measure
03:30Her previous athletic conquest
03:32Always paying off
03:33In the center of the ring
03:44Yeah, and this is going to be a big problem
03:46From here for Chelsea Green
03:48Now isolated on the wrong side of the tracks
03:50With two mean and vindictive women
03:53Who are out here to punish somebody
03:55But what went on earlier tonight
03:57And Chelsea Green was swinging a kendo stick
04:00In their direction
04:03Chelsea Green
04:04She's draped over that middle rope
04:06And long legs of B-Fab
04:09With all that leverage
04:10Against the back of Chelsea Green
04:11Desperately needs some assistance
04:13From her tag partner
04:14Tiffany Stratton
04:16Who must feel like she's a million miles away
04:22Chelsea has really made a career
04:24Of working alongside backup
04:26She's a woman alone in recent weeks
04:29And hence why she wants to befriend
04:31Tiffany Stratton so badly
04:37Stepping right on
04:39The midsection
04:43Just looking to torture opponents
04:45At this point
04:45Sending a message to the entire locker room
04:47Including Tiffany Stratton
04:49This is what happens
04:50When you step
04:51In the way of business
04:53For Meechid
04:54B-Fab
04:54And indeed Jay Cargill
04:57Cargill must be fuming
04:58That she got knocked out
04:59Of the Queen of the Ring tournament earlier
05:00Let's go
05:02Private Flair able to take that victory
05:04Punch her ticket to the semi-finals
05:06Now just
05:07A ground and pound moment
05:09We're out punching tickets
05:10Punching some faces
05:12To the street fighter herself
05:13B-Fab
05:15Getting business done
05:17Like nobody else can
05:21What a spot to be in
05:22If you're Chelsea Green
05:23So desperate to get out
05:25Of that corner
05:25Long leg of B-Fab
05:27Doing damage again
05:29Yeah so much range
05:31With those punches
05:31And kicks
05:32Does B-Fab
05:33And those full
05:33Well how to use them
05:35Very difficult to defend yourself
05:36Against someone with longer range
05:38As you know from the
05:39Boxing world Joe
05:42And reach takes advantage
05:43All the time
05:45And now here comes
05:46Meech in again
05:49And it's been a
05:50Two on one assault
05:51For the past five minutes
05:52Against Chelsea Green
05:53Who's getting no breathing room
05:54Whatsoever
05:55No hope
05:57And now that lower back
05:58Of Chelsea Green
06:00Is going to feel it
06:00Yeah now getting tortured
06:02With this surfboard
06:03Referee taking a good look
06:05At the shoulders of Meech in
06:06And a smart refereeing
06:07Could inadvertently
06:08Pin herself in this position
06:09But Meech in
06:10Is a veteran
06:11And is full well
06:13The danger of that move
06:35Tag team action
06:37Meech in and B-Fab
06:38Have been in control
06:39Against Chelsea Green
06:40Who is partnered with Tiffany Stratton
06:43Of course she's been trying
06:43To win the favor of Tiffany Stratton
06:45In recent weeks
06:46Still to come tonight
06:47Our King of the Ring
06:47First round match
06:48Fatal four-way
06:49With Jey Uso
06:49LA Knight
06:50Finn Balor
06:50And Royce Keys
06:52Well it's been grit
06:53And determination
06:54From Chelsea Green
06:55But slowly she is fading
06:57Wow
06:58Meech in
06:58Top rope
06:59Hurricane Rana
07:00May do the job here
07:01This could do it right here
07:02Oh and Chelsea survives it
07:04Getting that left shoulder
07:05Up off the canvas
07:06And Tiffany has been hesitant
07:07To befriend Chelsea Green
07:09In recent weeks
07:09Even she must be impressed
07:11By this grit
07:12And fortitude
07:13Of Chelsea Green
07:14Who is getting very little in
07:16In the way of offense
07:17Has absorbed a ton of damage
07:19But crucially
07:20Has not given up
07:21Has not quit on the fight
07:22Wow Chelsea
07:24The Northern Lights
07:25Suplex there
07:26May buy a little chance
07:27For a tag
07:28And that is agonizingly close
07:31Meech in
07:32Grabs the ankle
07:32But then Chelsea pushes free
07:34And here's your chance
07:35Chelsea
07:35Oh and Big Fab
07:36Right at the last second
07:38Big Fab is not legal
07:39And gets a boot to the face
07:40For good measure
07:41Two opponents down
07:42Chelsea
07:43It's now or never
07:44Does she have enough though
07:46The reserve of energy
07:47You see her stumbling
07:48To the opposite
07:49Neutral corner
07:50Doing the drunken dance
07:53In the ring right now
07:54So badly beaten up
07:55But moving away
07:56At the right time
07:57Now things have cleared up
07:59For Chelsea
08:00And Tiffany Stratton
08:02Knows it only too well
08:04You have to make this
08:05Tag Chelsea
08:06Oh
08:08Jake Cargill
08:09Arrives ringside
08:11And pulls down
08:12Tiffany Stratton
08:14And the referee
08:14Did not see a thing
08:16Taken away by
08:16Big Fab
08:17Well that was the opportunity
08:19For Chelsea Green
08:20That's a little payback
08:21From Jake Cargill
08:22And Tiffany Stratton
08:23Got involved in her
08:24Queen of the ring match
08:25Earlier
08:26Big Fab ran right
08:27Into her knees
08:28And then out of the way
08:28Oh looking for a prettier
08:29And delivers it
08:32But here's the legal woman
08:33Meech in
08:34And Meech in
08:34Right back to business
08:38Styles clash
08:45Here are your winners
08:46B-Fab
08:48And Meech in
08:49A statement made
08:51By B-Fab
08:53Meech in
08:53And Jake Cargill
08:55I mean what a valiant effort
08:58Oh here we go
08:59Now Tiffany Stratton
09:00Has absolutely lost it here
09:02Center of the ring
09:03Tiffany Stratton
09:04And Jade Cargill
09:05Going at it
09:06That has been growing beef
09:07Between these two
09:08Over the past several weeks
09:09But it's three on one
09:10Chelsea Green
09:11Is already wiped out
09:13And Tiffany Stratton
09:14Is now getting mugged
09:15By this trio
09:16This is a hopeless beatdown
09:18Now
09:18As the three of them
09:20Have her surrounded
09:21And she is jaded
09:24Jade Cargill
09:26Just wiping out
09:28Tiffany Stratton
09:30Uh oh
09:31There's some real personal
09:33Animosity between
09:34Jade
09:35And Tiffany Stratton
09:37And Jade may well
09:39Have suddenly
09:39Got designs
09:41On that United States
09:42Championship
09:43I mean if you want
09:45To hurt your nemesis
09:45What better way
09:46To do it
09:47Than to take that
09:48Gold away from them
09:49Of course
09:49Jade Cargill
09:50Was ousted
09:51From the queen of the ring
09:52Tournament
09:52Earlier tonight
09:53Charlotte Flair
09:54Was able to advance
09:55With that victory
09:56Tiffany Stratton
09:57Did play a role there
09:58Thus the actions
09:59We just saw
10:00Remember
10:01The winner
10:01Of the queen of the ring
10:03Tournament
10:03Gets a title shot
10:04At SummerSlam
10:05Coming up
10:06The first weekend
10:07Of August
10:08Two nights
10:08In Minnesota
10:09Charlotte advanced
10:10Earlier tonight
10:11Last week
10:12There was serious tension
10:13Meana James
10:13Lost out
10:14Waved
10:15A lot of miscommunication
10:15Yeah there has been
10:17Weeks and weeks
10:18Of this
10:19Well last week
10:20On Smackdown
10:20Kiana James
10:21Competed in the queen
10:22Of the ring
10:22Tournament
10:22Major misunderstanding
10:24Happened right about here
10:26With her partner
10:27Julia
10:28And this then
10:30Led to an opening
10:31For Raquel Rodriguez
10:33To hit the
10:33Tajana bomb
10:35And win the match
10:36Progressing through
10:37To the semi-final
10:38Now as we mentioned
10:39Weeks of tension
10:40Between these two
10:40And was the final
10:42And was the final straw
10:42As Kiana
10:44Quit her role
10:45As the official
10:45Representative
10:46Of Julia
10:47For good
10:47The two
10:48Brawling
10:48Which seals
10:49The official
10:50Dissolution
10:51Of their partnership
10:55I'm here with Kiana James
10:56And Kiana
10:57Last week in Bologna
10:58You had a
10:59My friend
11:02Betrayed me
11:04And I know
11:04It's just juicy gossip
11:06For you
11:06Kathy
11:06But for me
11:08It's my life
11:09I did everything
11:11For Julia
11:12I secured her matches
11:13I made her champion
11:15She needed me
11:18And the one time
11:20The one time
11:21I asked her for help
11:21She's useless
11:25I needed your help
11:26With English
11:27With contract
11:29Not with being a fighter
11:31That's who I am
11:33And I didn't need you
11:35For anything
11:36I was a name
11:37You used my momentum
11:39I eclipsed you
11:43Kiana
11:44My English
11:46Is better now
11:47So I finally
11:48Have the words
11:50To say
12:10It's been a long time
12:13Welcome to Smackdown
12:16Good luck
12:20Finn Balor

12:31Going through with this
12:32Look Cody
12:33You know my hands were tied
12:34You know
12:34He got lawyers involved
12:36You know what everything's been going on
12:37He said he wanted to name the stip
12:38He named the stip
12:39He wants the referee
12:40This is it
12:41I understand that
12:42Sammy is a wreck
12:44Right now
12:45Emotionally
12:46He's all over the place
12:52You gave me one
12:53I gave you
12:54Please tell me Sammy
12:56That we're good
12:58I don't know Cody

13:45Gunther Wade
13:46Demanded the stipulation
13:47That Sammy Zayn

13:51Well it sounds like
13:52Cody Rhodes
13:53Has a huge mountain
13:54To climb
13:55If he's going to
13:55Retain next week
13:57Against Gunther

14:17The WWE Tag Team

14:28Queen of the Ring
14:29Tournament
14:29She takes on
14:30Liv Morgan
14:31Next week
14:32On Smackdown
14:33In Kansas City
14:34For a place
14:35In the final
14:36To take place
14:37At Night of Champions
14:39What a massive
14:40Smackdown
14:40Next week
14:41In KC
14:42That card is incredible
14:43Absolutely incredible
14:44Smackdown
14:44Guys I'm here with
14:48LA Knight
14:50And LA
14:51A big opportunity
14:52Ahead of you
14:53A match in the
14:53King of the Ring
14:54Tournament
14:54But the bloodline
14:56Is in the building
14:57And given what's
14:58Transpired
14:58You know what
14:58That's all you gotta say
14:59Is the bloodline's
15:00In the building
15:00Let me talk to you
15:02The bloodline's in the building
15:03But more importantly
15:04LA Knight's in the building
15:05And what that means
15:06Is we're looking at
15:09Didn't I call this
15:10I think I said
15:11All the bloodline's
15:12Gonna show up tonight
15:13I wouldn't call myself
15:14Nostradamus
15:15But we can go ahead
15:15And call me
15:16LA Domus
15:17As a matter of fact
15:17We can call Roman Reigns
15:18Nostradamus
15:19Because he was the one
15:20Saying
15:22He's the one saying
15:22Oh no
15:23Jimmy's gonna do it
15:24By himself
15:25Yet here's Jacob
15:26Here's Jimmy
15:27I'm sorry
15:27It's Jay
15:28That's gonna do it
15:28By himself
15:29Right
15:29I don't know
15:29It's easy to get
15:30Them mixed up
15:31But the bottom line
15:31Is this
15:32It's Jimmy
15:33It's Jacob
15:34And now they're
15:35Trying to get
15:35Solo back in the fold
15:36Oh my god
15:37I can't wait
15:37Until he got both
15:38Jacob and Solo
15:39Looking all pregnant
15:40And barefoot
15:40Back in the bloodline
15:42But what it comes down to
15:43Is I'm not gonna
15:44Make any promises
15:45Because when you look
15:46At what's going on
15:46Out there
15:47I have insurmountable
15:48Odds out there
15:49But what it comes down to
15:50Is this
15:51If I can defy the odds
15:53By the grace of God
15:54I'll be wearing that king
15:56Right to
15:57The front door
15:58Of Roman Reigns
15:59And I will stomp
16:01Him out
16:01Yeah
16:02With everybody saying
16:04L.A. Night
16:06Yeah
16:25Do you think
16:26They're hyped here
16:27At Providence
16:50Oh they are eating
16:51Deep into the night
16:52Here in Rhode Island
16:53Oh man
16:54This matchup
16:55Can take a whole ton
16:57Of fan favorites
16:58But this reaction
17:00Is going to be
17:00Very difficult
17:02To top
17:02For main event
17:03Jey Uso
17:08King of the ring
17:09First round
17:11Fatal 4-Way
17:12Is next
17:29Monday
17:30Roman Reigns
17:31Returns to Rome
17:32Acknowledge me
17:35As the king and queen
17:37Of the ring tournaments
17:38Reach the semi-finals

18:37Of massive transitions
18:38For Finn Balor
18:39Continues
18:40And now a man
18:42Who walks alone
18:43And takes orders
18:43From nobody
18:46It's time
18:46With Justin Day
18:58He needs to dissolve
19:01And from Bray County
19:08Wicklow
19:09Ireland
19:09Winging it
19:10190 pounds
19:12And Balor
19:14Great moment
19:15This spring
19:16When the demon
19:16Arrived in Wrestlemania
19:17And he defeated
19:18Dirty Daba
19:19Now the trade over
19:20To Smackdown
19:21Here
19:21To pursue gold
19:23What a big step forward
19:24He could take
19:25In this final
19:26First round matchup
19:28Fatal four way
19:29Of the king of the ring
19:29Tournament
19:30What an electric atmosphere
19:32In here
19:38You get the sense
19:39That Finn Balor
19:40Has really rediscovered
19:41The real Finn Balor
19:43Got back to the guy
19:44Who had the world
19:45Bozzing
19:46When he first arrived
19:47In WWE
19:48Ten years ago
19:49Well
19:49He suddenly looks
19:50Ten years younger
19:52And the best version
19:54Of Finn Balor
19:55Is back
19:56Here on Smackdown
20:17And here's the man
20:19That I think
20:19Makes this
20:20Fatal four way
20:20Wildly intriguing
20:21Palo Alto
20:22California
20:22Laying it
20:23270 pounds
20:25He's the winner
20:26Of the 2026
20:27Andre the Giant Memorial
20:29Battle Royals
20:32Royce Keyes
20:33And Wade
20:33We've been watching
20:34And experienced
20:35This push-pull
20:36With Royce Keyes
20:37And Solo Sotoa
20:38And the complexities
20:39Of it all
20:40Here's the bottom line
20:41Royce can stand
20:42On his own
20:43Like few can
20:44One of the most
20:45Dangerous
20:45Powerful challengers
20:47That passes by anybody
20:49Yeah so Royce Keyes
20:50Is built to walk alone
20:51He doesn't need help
20:52Just look at
20:53What a specimen
20:54Of a human being
20:55He is
20:55However
20:56It has to be said
20:57He's had a number
20:58Of difficulties
20:59Getting to the level
21:00He expects to be at
21:01Which is the very top
21:03Thanks to consistent
21:04Numbers games
21:05Being used against him
21:07Mainly
21:07By the MFT crew
21:09So as much as he came in
21:10With the best of intentions
21:11Surely
21:38And there are opponents
21:40From Los Angeles
21:42California
21:49He is determined
21:51To walk and do
21:52SummerSlam
21:53As the king of the ring
21:57Love this matchup
21:58When you look at these four
21:59Here
22:00The first round matchup
22:02The fatal four-weight
22:03Jey Uso
22:04Finn Balber
22:05Royce Keyes
22:07And L.A. Knight
22:10Well let's talk about
22:11L.A. Knight
22:12And Jey Uso
22:13For a second
22:13A rather tempestuous
22:15Relationship over the years
22:16They've tagged together
22:17They've been at
22:17Each other's throats
22:19L.A. Knight
22:21Oh he said
22:21I can run something back too
22:23Oh and Jey didn't take
22:25To that at all
22:25So here we go
22:29Finn Balber
22:30And Royce Keyes
22:31On one side
22:32Meanwhile
22:32L.A. Knight
22:33And Jey Uso
22:34On the other
22:35A little mind games
22:37There from L.A. Knight
22:38May have backfired
22:39Turn his back
22:39On Jey Uso
22:40Oh
22:41Of course
22:41Now it's Royce Keyes
22:43Like an express train
22:46And that's why
22:47He's just different
22:49And these three
22:50Are going to find it out
22:50Real quickly
22:51The kind of raw power
22:52That took him
22:53All the way
22:54To winning the
22:54Andre the Giant
22:55Memorial Trophy
22:56Right before
22:58WrestleMania
22:58Now clearing out
22:59The field in the early
23:00Going to this one
23:01And now Finn Balor
23:02Doing the smart thing
23:03And trying to chop him down
23:04Going to the legs
23:05Right away
23:07Incredibly smart
23:08Competitor
23:08Is Finn
23:09Rarely the biggest guy
23:10In the match
23:10But usually
23:11The sharpest
23:13Physically
23:13What a specimen
23:15He is
23:15In a very
23:16Different kind
23:19Finn Balor
23:20Up and over
23:22Here in Providence
23:31Winner of this match
23:32Will advance
23:32To the semi-finals
23:34Of this
23:34King of the
23:35Tournament
23:38Finn Balor
23:39Just waiting
23:39For his moment
23:40There
23:40To take out
23:41Big Royce Keyes
23:43Isolating
23:43Jay Uso
23:50Oh man
23:51You can hear that
23:52Echoing across
23:52The arena
23:53I'll tell you right now
23:54Looking at the four men
23:55In this match
23:55I am not imagining
23:56That this one
23:57Is going to be over
23:58Too quickly
23:59For the highest
23:59Caliber superstars
24:00We have
24:01Basement drop
24:02Pick into the cover
24:03But with that being said
24:04If it does go into
24:05The deep waters
24:06Nobody is more built
24:08For endurance
24:08In this match
24:09Than Finn Balor
24:10Not an ounce of fat
24:11On that entire body
24:13He looks like
24:13He's 21 years old
24:14He really does
24:15And he's been wrestling
24:16Longer than 21 years
24:17So I know that
24:17Can't be true
24:18Prime physical specimen
24:24And they're going to
24:25Count by Yeats
24:27With these right hands
24:28One person
24:29Who's not counting
24:29Is Finn Balor
24:30As his brain
24:31Just got scrambled
24:32But instead of
24:33An Uso uppercut
24:35It's L.A. Knight
24:36Intercepting
24:42Yeats versus Yaz
24:49And there's very little
24:50You can do
24:51When the raw power
24:52Of Royce Keys
24:53Comes to the floor
24:54Except
24:54The double team
24:56Him like that
24:57It was a smart move
24:57By both
24:58Jay and Finn Balor
24:59But all bets
25:00Are off now
25:00It's every man
25:01For himself
25:02And for a moment
25:03Partners
25:03And now chief rivals
25:05In the center
25:05Of the ring
25:07Fatal 4 rules
25:08Apply here
25:16Passive right hand
25:17From Finn Balor
25:20Finn Balor is a man
25:21Who held
25:22The world championship
25:23Goal about 10 years
25:24Ago now
25:25And is desperate
25:26To get back
25:26To that level
25:27And of course
25:28Success
25:28In the king of the ring
25:29Tournament
25:30Winning that crown
25:31Gets a guaranteed
25:32Title match
25:33At SummerSlam
25:34Against one of the
25:35World champions
25:35So he is laser focused
25:37On getting back
25:37To the very pinnacle
25:38Of this industry
25:42Rips first
25:43Into that security barrier
25:45Will not feel good
25:46For LA Knight
25:54This brawl spilling out
25:55All over the arena
25:57With the month star
25:58Royce Keys
25:59In hot pursuit
25:59Of LA Knight
26:00Who unsurprisingly
26:02Desperately
26:02Trying to get away
26:06Turns things around
26:07Against Royce Keys
26:08Against that barrier
26:09Meanwhile back
26:10In the ring
26:11Finn Balor
26:12And Jey Uso
26:12Locked up
26:24The 25th king
26:26Of the ring
26:27Tournament
26:27In WWE
26:28History
26:29And we're looking
26:29To round out
26:30The first round
26:31See who advances
26:32To the semis
26:33Is the fatal four-way
26:34Wildly intriguing
26:36Jake Uso
26:37And Finn Balor
26:38In the center
26:39Of the ring
26:39LA Knight
26:40And Royce Keys
26:41Doing battle
26:41On the outside
26:43Who will advance
26:44To the semifinals
26:45And Finn Balor
26:45Is just looking
26:46He's so good
26:47In this one
26:47He's had an astounding
26:48Career in WWE
26:49But in many people's books
26:51Should have been
26:51A multiple-time
26:52World champ
26:53By now
26:53He's not been
26:55Although he's looking
26:56To change that
26:56Very, very soon
26:57By winning this match
26:59Progressing
26:59Winning the king
27:00Of the ring
27:00And then going
27:01On to challenge
27:02At SummerSlam
27:03For a world title
27:04Right now
27:04The power
27:05Of Royce Keys
27:06Royce Keys
27:06Is showing up
27:07Yeah
27:08Unquestionable power
27:09A human cheat code
27:12Just a pile of beef
27:14With some real
27:15Bad intent
27:16Right now
27:18And Finn Balor
27:19Was never gonna
27:20Win that battle
27:25Oh
27:25Jay Uso
27:26Yeah
27:27That's the
27:27Right to the midsection
27:28Now the uppercut
27:29Better move
27:30You've gotta chop
27:30This big man down
27:31You can't go
27:32Power for power
27:33With him
27:33Because this will
27:34Happen
27:34Oh man
27:35Royce Keys
27:37Could this be it
27:38The save coming in
27:39Was LA Knight
27:42LA Knight
27:43Had to save that
27:44Because Jay Uso
27:45Just got wasted
27:46By Royce Keys
27:47It's part of the
27:48Frustration
27:49Of a match like this
27:51You can do
27:52Everything right
27:53And still not win
27:54In the end
27:54Need a little bit
27:55Of lady luck
27:56On your side
27:58LA Knight
27:59Trying for that
27:59Netbreaker
28:00But Keys
28:01Toppling over
28:01And why not
28:02Throw a stomp
28:03In and an elbow
28:04For good measure
28:05Keep the big man down
28:06LA Knight
28:07The megastar
28:07Dropping the elbow
28:08And now pinning
28:09Royce Keys
28:10Into the corner
28:16The isness
28:17Of the business
28:18Is starting
28:19To catch fire
28:21And he just
28:23Got decapitated
28:24By Royce Keys
28:31Wow
28:35And if it wasn't
28:37For Finn Balor
28:38That power slam
28:39May have just done it
28:40You pulled that off
28:41Against a cruiserweight
28:42It's really impressive
28:43LA Knight
28:44Is over 250 pounds
28:45And just got thrown around
28:47By Royce Keys
28:48Like he's nothing
28:53Quick movement
28:54Of Finn Balor
28:55That really has been
28:56The problem
28:57For Royce Keys
28:58And oh
28:58That's one way
28:59To eliminate a problem
29:00Oh
29:01That lower back
29:02Of Finn Balor
29:04Straight to the
29:05Lumbar spine
29:05And that movement
29:06Of Finn Balor
29:07Maybe slowed down
29:08Somewhat after that
29:10Now just draping him
29:12Across
29:12The top ropes
29:14And beating down
29:15The massive
29:16Royce Keys
29:19Go for the double
29:21Tim
29:21Work against
29:23Royce Keys
29:23It was successful
29:24It was successful before
29:24Not here
29:25He is in complete control
29:26Of this fatal four way
29:28Just a physical freak
29:30That nobody trains
29:31To compete against
29:32But compete
29:33You must
29:33From the second rope
29:35Avalanche
29:35Top choice
29:37Royce
29:37Power slam
29:39And a kick
29:40From L.A. Knight
29:42That top choice
29:43Royce slam
29:43Does such damage
29:46Well a kick
29:47To the side
29:47Of the head
29:48I don't care
29:48How big
29:49And strong
29:49You are
29:50That is gonna
29:50Rock anybody
29:51Take another look
29:52At this
29:53Three levels
29:54Of power
29:54And athleticism
29:55From the Munstar
29:56Himself
29:58Low tap
29:58Right to the side
30:00Of the head
30:00Catching the temple
30:01And Royce Keys
30:01Really slowed him down
30:03Now L.A. Knight
30:04Trying to drag him
30:05To the outside
30:08Right into the post
30:09Yeah spine first
30:10Right into the steel
30:11Completely unprotected
30:12That part of the body
30:13For L.A. Knight
30:14And he might not be
30:15The same again
30:15After that
30:16With a 300 plus pound man
30:19Sending it in
30:20Jay Uso now
30:23Oh caught in midair
30:25Neutralized on the outside
30:27And then just dropped
30:29On the edge of the apron
30:30Rob Royce Keys
30:32Just a take
30:32No prisoners
30:33No nonsense
30:34Human being
30:35Who I find
30:37Utterly terrifying
30:40I mean he's just
30:41Tossing bodies now
30:42People aren't built
30:43To contend with
30:44That level of physicality
30:45Stairs go flying
30:55Big Jim looking
30:56To stand up to him
30:57This is what was
30:58Warned by Solo Sokoa
31:00That the bloodline
31:02Is here
31:02And the mission
31:03Is to make
31:04Make sure Jay
31:05Has his knife
31:07Here's Solo
31:17Solo to Sokoa
31:18And Big Jim
31:20Have arrived
31:21To this state of four-way
31:22Well Big Jim
31:23Influence things
31:24In favor of his twin brother
31:27Jay Uso
31:28The both got their marching orders
31:30From the OTC
31:31Roman Reigns
31:32Jay Uso
31:32Has to win
31:33This match
31:34Failure is not accepted in the bloodline
31:37Failure is not accepted in the bloodline
31:38Failure is not accepted in the bloodline
31:43Something has reawakened inside Finn Balor
31:52And just for a moment
31:54And just for a moment Royce Keyes gathers himself enough to deny Finn Balor
31:58Balor was looking to dropkick Royce Keyes right through that security barrier denied in midair
32:05Royce Keyes did not like that idea and now Solo Sokoa
32:10Playing cheerleader for Royce Keyes
32:13Royce Keyes seems a little perplexed by that move but continuing you would think
32:18The moves to try and recruit Royce Keyes is Solo Sokoa
32:28Winner advances to the semi-finals of the King of the Ring tournament
32:32And a showdown with Javon Evans who's already booked his ticket to the semis alongside Obafemi
32:37Who will be taking on Dirty Dove
32:39Good luck Dirty Dove in that one
32:41Javon Evans who defeated Seth Rollins, Talatanga and Ricky Saints
32:49Wild matchup is the other one to think of Obafemi against Dirty Dove
32:54Oh how hard was that Royce Keyes nearly put Jey Uso through the turnbuckle
33:00Yeah and every time you see Royce Keyes you get more and more impressed
33:04He's always got his feet under him now
33:06But again the numbers game effectively in this match has worked against Royce Keyes again
33:12Pointable times he's been double teamed or attacked from behind and it seems to be the only way you can
33:16stop the big man
33:22Oh man
33:23The height on that back body
33:26Ban that move immediately
33:28That looked terrifying
33:35There are times where you get the sense there's no stopping Royce Keyes
33:40That is exactly why Solo Sokoa has been trying so hard and refusing to take no for an answer
33:46When it comes to the recruitment
33:48Of Royce Keyes into the MFT fold
33:51Even more so perhaps now that Roman Reigns is on a recruitment drive of his own
33:56Building an army as Solo Sokoa would put it
33:58Solo Sokoa needs a little additional firepower
34:03Firepower comes no stronger
34:09Great atmosphere with so much on the line here on Smackdown in Providence, Rhode Island
34:13King of the Ring first round match
34:15Fatal four-way
34:16The winner of this match will advance to the semifinals
34:18To face Javon Evans
34:19The winner of the tournament
34:20Gets a title shot at SummerSlam
34:22And right now it's Finn Balor
34:25Fighting back against Royce Keyes
34:27Solo Sokoa has made his way out here
34:29And he's trying his best to encourage Royce Keyes
34:32I don't think Royce Keyes needs any encouragement
34:34I think he can do this on his own
34:37Royce Keyes, the strength, the power, dominating form
34:43Oh, and a super kick from Jey Uso
34:45Well clearly Keyes was going on the offense
34:48Watch out
34:49Uh-oh, too close for comfort right now
34:51Keyes was on the offense
34:52Dropped his guard momentarily
34:54And that's about the only way you can take the big man down
34:56Now LA Knight, Jey Uso, Finn Balor
35:01They're discussing how do we deal with the powerhouse
35:04Finn Balor
35:05Playing Peacekeeper for a moment
35:13Oh boy, watch out
35:14Watch out, wait
35:16It looks like we've got a trio now
35:18Working together
35:20Finn says clean off the table
35:21Not just to redecorate
35:23But perhaps to take out the biggest threat
35:25That being Royce Keyes
35:27They've got him up in position
35:29Sealed powerbomb on Royce Keyes
35:34Annihilates the table
35:36And annihilates Royce Keyes with it
35:39Royce Keyes
35:49Absolutely incredible scene
35:51Here on SmackDown
35:53Well now the match has to continue in ring
35:56Solo Soko doing his best
35:57The G up Royce Keyes
35:58I think that's a lost cause
35:59It looks like it's down
36:01To Jey Uso
36:02And LA Knight now
36:04Winner advances to the semi-finals
36:07King of the ring
36:08You win it
36:08You get a title shot
36:10At SummerSlam
36:11Royce Keyes was controlling things
36:13And then they took care of him
36:15And now
36:16Here's Jey Uso
36:18The Volker versus Yi
36:19Yi wins
36:20Look at that quick one
36:21Finn Balor
36:22Balor looking to steal a quick one there
36:24And almost pulls it off
36:27Effectively turned into a triple threat
36:29With that powerbomb on Royce Keyes
36:36And Finn delivers
36:37Could this be Finn's moment
36:40Yeah grand slam Finn
36:42Hitting a rich vein of form
36:44At exactly the right time in this match
36:45But not quite enough
36:48This one hanging by
36:50And now Finn Balor
36:54Has him where he wants him
36:58Tried to line up the shotgun drop kick
37:00But he ate a super kick instead
37:03Was looking for the spear
37:05And Finn met him with offense
37:07Another sling blade
37:08We're having a sling blade party tonight
37:10The ultimate celebration
37:12Will be a three count for Finn Balor
37:15This time he delivers
37:17And now Jey is in the drop zone
37:20Finn Balor
37:22Who came here to Smackdown
37:24To chase gold
37:25Could be taking a male
37:27Oh
37:28L.A. Knight
37:29With those quick reflexes
37:32But Balor rejects him
37:34Right on top of Jey Uso
37:38Conegras
37:39Finn Balor
37:43Royce Keyes
37:44Back from the dead
37:45Royce Keyes drags him away
37:48Oh and sends him over timekeeper
37:51Wipes out Big Jim

38:06That was a distraction
38:07Royce Keyes
38:08Got hit from behind
38:09By L.A. Knight
38:10That was not Solo's plan
38:12You would imagine
38:13And now L.A. Knight
38:15Could take advantage
38:16Of this momentum
38:24L.A. Knight
38:28Royce Keyes
38:29Back up on his feet
38:31How the hell
38:32Is Royce Keyes
