03:36it's
03:39ok
03:41cards we have recently seen and it is now official the unique circumstances surrounding
03:47tonight's undisputed championship will now move forward as a triple threat wade about the only
03:54way you could sort that mess out that we saw earlier tonight and cody called it exactly as
04:00he wanted it nick olders has agreed championship on the line cody defensive triple threat action
04:07against gunther and sammy zane at night of champions all right let's detail the mess
04:12that you described this is how the night started with the undisputed championship match between
04:18cody and gunther when sammy was originally the guest rep and then lost it yeah lost it because he'd been
04:25powerbombed by gunther the man who wants him as the rep in the first place one quick count later
04:30successful retention controversial but cody wrote this match right now
04:40absolutely not absolutely not i'm the official
04:55they did the right thing they restarted the match between cody and gunther with a new
05:00referee it wasn't the right thing for one man in the building that might be in sammy zane who
05:06returned with a vengeance run a lubricant match thrown out cody still the champion absolutely
05:12nothing resolved and then things got even worse from there as sammy zane completely lost it dropped
05:20not an official and that'll be a heavy fight i guarantee there cody roads trying to calm sammy
05:26zane down got caught with the championship too bodies hitting the deck sammy zane has called utter chaos tonight
05:38but at least now we have at least some form of resolution in the form of that triple threat in
05:44night of
05:44champion that comes your way saturday june 27th the undisputed wa championship is a
05:50triple threat as friday night smackdown is present
05:59cody gunther sammy triple threat next weekend but right in front of us who will arrive also to
06:08night of champions for the king of the ring final jay usos path came by way of a lot of
06:15frustration from la night
06:39javon evans gives a look at that crowd he has been ahead of schedule in his career could he be
06:45king of the ring
06:47and his opponent from greensboro north carolina playing in at 195 pounds javon evans
06:58javon evans recently got through a loaded first round and then this past monday
07:02the vision logan paul came for him saying you know join up here you're going to need some help that
07:07was
07:07fully rejected yeah fully rejected and javon evans ended up having a matchup with austin theory got
07:15thrown up in his qualification after the head case brum breaker attacked the young og with a one of the
07:23nastiest spears you will ever see and javon's moving pretty well right now doesn't seem to be
07:28affected him to put that in the rear view mirror because this is the biggest opportunity of javon's
07:35career thus far you mentioned that spear that he suffered from bronze breaker that was mid-air when
07:41he was going for the og cutter a mid-air spear but back to business right now when there is
07:51such a huge
07:52disparity in experience between these two especially when it comes to the high pressure high stakes
08:00matchups like this of course we know the history of jay uso especially over the past two or three
08:07years winning world championship gold at wrestlemania with all the pressure that came with that now
08:14javon evans has simply not tasted anything like that they call him main event jay uso for a reason
08:20because he gets better under the brightest of spotlights and it's pretty damn bright tonight can
08:26javon evans step up a level here you see that look in jay uso's eyes you mentioned the matchup of
08:35the
08:35speed and the bounciness the elasticity on one side with javon evans against as you said the experience
08:42of jay uso javon evans took it a little further in that experience with what jay uso took as an
08:48insult
08:49when he called him on earlier tonight i mean i'm not great with the modern parlance but i believe
08:55that means you're a washed up kind of guy and that's a real slap in the face of someone like
09:00jay uso who has been holding main events on lockdown here for the past several years and shows no signs
09:07of slowing down whatsoever oh oh boy he is getting a taste of the speed of evans right away i'll
09:13tell
09:13you right now you will feel like an old man the second javon evans starts bouncing around that ring
09:21jay just wants to make this fight wow that standing drop kick and the height that javon is able to
09:27get
09:28well there's that beautiful exuberance of javon evans right off the bat that inability to even sense
09:34pressure simply playing with house money his entire career so far you know to me it's noticeable that he keeps
09:42reaching for his ribs we mentioned the mid-air spear from ron breaker but he's been touching those
09:48ribs a bit another drop kick yeah you mentioned that joe it's been all javon evans offense so far but
09:54even a drop kick like that you land on your own midsection and that's knocking the wind out of javon
09:58evans as much as trying to hide it wow and that's about as heavy a landing as javon evans will
10:05expect
10:05and he's struggling to get back up the upper hand but for how much longer javon evans in control
10:21now he just went airborne here in kansas city javon evans semifinals of king of the ring against jay
10:30usso and if i were javon evans looking at how he's nursing those ribs you want to put this away
10:37as
10:37quickly as possible okay reaching out the hand respectful matchup is a great start from the young
10:52kid give him a handshake and let's move on
11:13well there's experience but evans was ready for it
11:19oh and then spins him around and delivers a big right hand and said yeah yeet that
11:24well this has been a colossal disaster so far for jay usso and i don't think anybody quite expected this
11:44oh
11:45jay trips him up after that kansas city nine count
11:51and now jay with return fire
12:03oh but instead of that usso signature right hand the drop kick and the cover jay usso just a little
12:12too
12:13cocky in there taking that usefulness for weakness when it comes to javon evans and anyone watching
12:19javon over the past 12 plus months will know that it's a cardinal sin
12:38big uppercut that has jay draping out the ropes and rolling back i don't even know if he knows where
12:43he was as he makes his way back to the center of the ring oh oh boy this is where
12:48evans is at his best
12:49wade this is not what you want to be looking at when you are an opponent of javon evans the
12:55height of that
12:55cross body but not enough to advance to the king of the ring finals and look at the look at
13:02the ribs and
13:02the look on the face of javon evans now to be clear jay usso has got a few shots in
13:08so far that's about it
13:10and all of those shots have been to the head of javon evans if jay usso realizes that those ribs
13:16are as bad as they are he needs to focus all of his attacks on the midsection of javon evans
13:22hey hey hey hey come on come on come on
13:32oh
13:34come on oh what's up i'm right here i'm right here
13:47a lot of drawing between jay usso and javon evans here in our semi-final of the king
13:53of the ring tournament the winner here tonight in kansas city will be headed to the kingdom of
14:01saudi arabia for night of champions to take out obafemi in the king of the ring finals of course win
14:06king of the ring and you will get a title shot at some oh nice nice movement once again from
14:12javon
14:13evans i'd be tempted to lose this one knowing that obafemi is waiting for me to find over the stakes
14:17are
14:18so high what a great opportunity would you look at the kip up off the suplex yeah well he's got
14:25busted
14:25ribs from that brawn breaker spear on monday but he's trying his best to ignore it i don't even know
14:32if jay usso has noticed that those ribs of javon evans are hurt in this pad you think he should
14:37be
14:37going to them well if he notices one shot in the ribs of javon is going to completely knock the
14:42wind
14:42out of him and could potentially turn this one around because 95 of the offense here has come from
14:48javon going the way of jay that happened just earlier this week he was up against austin theory was
14:55evans who went for the og cutter but brawn breaker flew in out of nowhere with a mid-air spear
15:00of course the disqualification you can see the damage sustained
15:07the height of that and you can see him even writhing in pain well i'll tell you right now when
15:14you're taking a move like that a samoan drop you want to take it as flat on your back as
15:19you can
15:20javon evans i think tried to avoid landing flat on his back he lands on his side because those ribs
15:25are so busted off but i don't think it helped and things are suddenly looking bleak for javon
15:33evans and now jay usso unsurprisingly is smelling blood oh you can see the ribs
15:39now you see the ribs have been taped up well that's the bullseye on the back right now and
15:46there'll be no slowing jay usso down as you mentioned you don't know if he realizes the
15:52ribs quite yet he realizes now when he's targeting them yeah once that t-shirt got ripped off there
15:57was no denying it anymore and now stalking his prey ready to tear it to shreds is jay usso
16:03i mean how much of an advantage do you need
16:10jay usso and jay usso and jay usso suddenly a couple of moves looks like a shadow of the man
16:14he was
16:15moments ago he's just trying to catch his breath deal with the pain anyway he can jay usso just
16:22continues to stalk his prey you have to be cutthroat at this level take whatever advantage
16:30come on
16:37courageous from evans to fight back in a spot like this
16:43he wants to get to the final in the biggest way but he simply cannot match power with jay usso
16:49especially with the busted ribs oh man
16:56right on that side and back where the ribs wrap around
17:02evans is writhing this is as nasty as you like from jay usso and it's exactly in the mold of
17:11a
17:11certain roman reigns the otc who is absolutely relentless in pursuit of victory especially when
17:20there's a major prize dangling on the line while jay usso cut on this mission was well stated by roman
17:28reigns the former world heavyweight champion jay usso roman reigns wants the family to bookend the
17:36titles he is looking for jay to get that title shot at summer slam yeah you certainly don't want to
17:41go
17:42back to roman reigns having failed to execute those orders even more so against an inexperienced
17:53competitor who is severely hampered at this point with those busted ribs just listen to how labored the
18:00breathing is as jay runs into that elbow from evans simply no weapons from jeffon evans he's looking to
18:08finish the job oh no out into the barrier from that height get your first again perhaps trying
18:16to avoid damaging those ribs further but that may have been even worse evans in big trouble
18:22can't count until you get back get him out of here come on
18:35from bad to worse for javon evans in this king of the ring
18:39semi-final just when he was trying to find a little bit of hope to overcome all the pain and
18:46issues he's
18:47having with his ribs jay usso sends him flying off the top rope down to the barricade surrounding the
18:55floor for more damage done and then runs his back right to the top of the barricade yeah this is
19:01exactly how you have to be at the very top it is dog eat dog up here that youthful naivety
19:08of javon
19:09evans is getting beaten out of him before our eyes
19:17here goes jay
19:20suicide dive and more damage done to those ribs against the barrier
19:28jay usso just dead-eyed right now no sympathy whatsoever
19:37how bad do you want this javon or nails how bad can you push through the pain and can javon
19:43evans
19:43even get back in the ring here or is he going to get counted out maybe for the best if
19:48he does six
19:50count to this point
19:54referee ryan tran administering the count here and evans is able to get back in a labored climb
20:00back into the ring and javon evans doesn't look capable of throwing much offense here
20:18sends him right back out against our desk come here
20:21off the shoot now oh jay usso getting a little too cocky there and get caught
20:28happens finding a massive surge of offense sends jay into timekeeper
20:34as groggy as you like now and javon evans cooking something up here
20:39trying to completely ignore the pain of that midsection and get a little
20:43running start here what the hell is he doing the young ojibos flying nearly into the front row up and
20:51over and he is he may well have just broken the long jump world record with that but most importantly
20:58collided with jay usso on the way over
21:02he needs to be careful for a double count out here which will help nobody
21:06come on
21:32i don't know where evans found it and now jay hooks the leg
21:39and jay usso just looks pissed off now
21:58we're just eight days away from the king of the ring final obafemi is already there the question
22:03is will it be jay usso or javon evans going up against obafemi with a title shot at summerslam
22:10on the line while we were away javon evans sustained more damage he tried to fight back but jay usso
22:17continues to target those ribs of evans well javon evans is a massive underdog coming into this one
22:24even more so now with those busted up ribs revealed look at the young og somehow gathering the strength
22:37but it was an ugly landing for jay usso but indeed javon but javon with the pink this could be
22:43it right here
22:48javon evans
22:50javon evans
22:51this is what happened while we were away
22:53javon evans with an absolutely ridiculous leap that any normal man can try
22:59but javon evans can do it with busted ribs and then pull this out too but at the level of
23:06a
23:06jay usso after that spanish flyer heavy running for both men somehow jay usso digging deep
23:12and keeping himself in this matchup big crowd here in the city of barbecue in kansas city
23:20oh
23:36trading right hand center of the ring
23:38jay usso signature right hand trade war like that at back uto every time with the size advantage
23:53the refusing to go down is javon wow where does he keep coming up with this explosive knee to the
24:02jaw i
24:02don't think he came up with that i think that was pure instinct alone just running on adrenaline at
24:10this point that is the only thing that is keeping javon evans going with the pain coming from those ribs
24:15and the beating is taken from jay usso the young breakout star who has put together an incredible
24:23resume in 2026 to this point could he be adding to it with a win here in the semi-final
24:30king of the rank
24:32uh-oh smart by jay to get out of the way and delivers the super kick to the ribs
24:37he targeted it with the spear as well this to advance to over baby
24:45how the hell did javon evans kick out of that
24:51brown in kansas city is loving it oh my god how many term names is jay usso pull away with
24:59that exact
24:59spear let alone someone with previously busted ribs like javon evans how the hell did you just kick out
25:08job javon i'm asking it and i promise you jay usso is asking himself the same thing
25:36the young man inspired red dot
25:42red dot connects
25:51the young og oh boy
25:56that og cutter went south quickly
26:00another spear
26:01hanging around this time double stuck in the offense looking for that usso splash
26:08and to advance
26:13he does here is your winner main event jay usso
26:23what an unbelievable effort from javon evans
26:30who showed more toughness than i can imagine tonight and that's jay usso
26:36with those heavily busted ribs but it is main event jay usso who has just punched his ticket
26:44the night of the king of the king of the king of the king of the king of the ring
26:48refusing to die off with javon evans this is the moment everyone started to believe that the
26:55underdog was going to pull this thing off javon evans was looking to rally he was setting up the og
27:02cutter but instead
27:04glass his flash is
27:13the seemingly most unconquerable power force in the game right now obafemi against the undeniable talent
27:24experienced bloodline back championship caliber of jay usso the winner next week in king of the
27:32rings final earns a title shot at summer slams of course that comes your way next week streaming
