00:00:00Moments before Charlotte Flair's Queen of the Ring semi-final matchup against Liv Morgan,
00:00:05Jade, Meachin, and B-Fab would lay waste to the Queen, targeting Charlotte Flair's left knee.
00:00:12Now Charlotte Flair, never been one to look for sympathy, attempted to compete at the highest level,
00:00:17but she was competing against the reigning women's world champion, Liv Morgan, of the Judgment Day.
00:00:23And Charlotte fought valiantly, but ultimately, her own body would betray her.
00:00:27Trapped in a single leg crab, Charlotte with no choice but to submit, advancing Liv to the final.
00:00:33Let's send it backstage right now to Jackie Redman.
00:00:39Thanks so much backstage with Alexa Bliss.
00:00:41Alexa, after everything that happened with Charlotte last week, the attack by Jade, Meachin, and B-Fab,
00:00:46and then, of course, the loss in the Queen of the Ring semis, I was hoping you could provide an
00:00:50update.
00:00:51Have you talked to her? How is she doing?
00:00:52I mean, obviously, Charlotte is feeling the physical pain, but I think she's also feeling the emotional pain as well.
00:00:58And Jade, after what you and your minions did to her last week, I will get revenge on you.
00:01:03Even if it means I have to team up with you.
00:01:09So, is that why I'm teaming with you?
00:01:11So you can get revenge for your little friend?
00:01:13I'm sorry, but I only care about getting through my match tomorrow and beating Jade.
00:01:19Yeah, we get it. You and Charlotte have history. We all know.
00:01:22But you happened to help us before, and honestly, I'm just here to return the favor.
00:01:26Okay. Well, we can just get through tonight, and then after I beat Jade tomorrow, Night of Champions,
00:01:32then you and Charlotte can do whatever you want, as long as you leave me out of it.
00:01:37I plan to.
00:01:38Toodles.
00:01:43It's Tiffy time.
00:01:44Sounds like a one-night-only alliance, if it even lasts that long.
00:02:01The following is a tag team match to number one ball.
00:02:06Introducing first, from Pryor Lake, Minnesota, she is the Women's United States Champion, Tiffany Stratton.
00:02:20Coming up next, tag team action, here on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:02:24Tiffany and Alexa against the team.
00:02:26Alexa calls minions.
00:02:28Be fab.
00:02:29Meet you next.
00:02:47You're welcome.
00:03:00Next.
00:03:00For you, please don't wait for me
00:03:09Get my passport
00:03:51SummerSlam is coming to U.S. Bank Stadium in Minnesota
00:03:55August 1st and 2nd
00:03:57Individual and combo tickets
00:03:59Are on sale now via Ticketmaster
00:04:03Well, inside the O2 Arena in London tonight
00:04:07We are set for tag team action
00:04:08Former tag team champion Alexa Bliss
00:04:11Teaming up for what appears to be one night only
00:04:14With the current United States champion Tiffany Stratton
00:04:18Alexa Bliss feels responsible to fight Charlotte Flair's battles
00:04:21Because Charlotte was taken out by B-Fab and Meechan and Jade Cargill
00:04:26Listen, I still don't believe that Bliss and Charlotte Flair truly are friends
00:04:30I don't know what Alexa's thinking tonight
00:04:33For tag team partner, from Columbus to Ohio, Alexa Bliss
00:04:42We know Tiffany Stratton, not exactly a big Charlotte Flair fan
00:04:46I don't know if these two are going to be able to coexist throughout this singular match
00:04:50Let alone the entire night
00:04:51We'll see how it goes
00:04:55We'll see how it goes
00:04:59We'll see how it goes
00:05:06We'll see how it goes
00:05:27And the team of Meechan and B-Fab
00:05:35Corey, this is brilliant strategy
00:05:39If you are Jade Cargill
00:05:41I mean, Meechan and B-Fab work this tag team match
00:05:45Against Alexa Bliss
00:05:46And the woman that Jade Cargill is going to face in 24 hours
00:05:50The women's United States champion Tiffany Stratton
00:05:53Jade Cargill absolutely has a plan that we are about to see unfold before our very eyes
00:05:59The task is simple
00:06:01Soften up Tiffany Stratton
00:06:02Make sure Tiffany is not 100% by the time we arrive at Night of Champions
00:06:07And also, while I'm at it
00:06:09How dare you, Michael Cole
00:06:11How dare you
00:06:12You and everybody else for weeks have called B-Fab and Meechan henchmen for Jade Cargill
00:06:17Now you're calling them minions
00:06:19They are baddies
00:06:20B-A-D-D-I-E-S
00:06:22Jade only surrounds herself with the best
00:06:25Women she believes are capable of the high standards she holds herself to
00:06:31Okay, so the aforementioned baddies will be the tag team tonight
00:06:35As Jade Cargill, the number one contender for the United States Championship
00:06:39Just rests up and watch Tiffany Stratton go into this matchup
00:06:43Are you serious right now?
00:06:45You think Jade Cargill is somewhere relaxing?
00:06:47Jade, I guarantee, is watching every second of this match unfold
00:06:51Likely while doing some sort of heavy lifting
00:06:53Some sort of intense exercise
00:06:55To make sure, as always, she is in peak, top shape
00:06:58And Tiffany Stratton starting things off
00:07:00Against Meechan in this matchup
00:07:03Got a nice takedown
00:07:04Headlock takedown of Meechan
00:07:10Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill renewing a rivalry that dominated a lot of last year
00:07:16Remember at SummerSlam, Tiffany Stratton defeated Cargill
00:07:19With the WWE Women's Championship on the line
00:07:21Then at Saturday Night's Fan event later in the year
00:07:23Cargill would knock off Stratton to win the WWE title
00:07:27Oh, and a basement dropkick by Stratton
00:07:31Into the cover
00:07:32Hooks the leg and a kick out
00:07:33I would caution Tiffany Stratton from resting easy ahead of this matchup
00:07:39In a sense that Jade Cargill might be the single most improved competitor in WWE over the last year or
00:07:44so
00:07:45No doubt about it, we talked about it in her matchups with Rhea Ripley
00:07:48Jade Cargill has looked better than ever as of late as Alexa Bliss now comes in off the tag
00:07:53We can say with a reasonable degree of certainty that Alexa Bliss will step into the ring with the best
00:07:58version of Jade Cargill we've ever seen
00:08:00Can the same be said about Tiffany Stratton?
00:08:03Maybe, but she's gonna have to prove it
00:08:04And Bliss, nice takedown of Meechan
00:08:08Bliss a former five-time Women's World Champion
00:08:13And I love what Jade Cargill's been able to
00:08:15Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
00:08:17Sister Abigail
00:08:18And Meechan able to counter
00:08:19I love what aligning themselves with Jade has brought out of both Meechan and B-Fab
00:08:26Bliss is gonna roll through
00:08:28Yeah, but I don't believe she knows that the tag was made to B-Fab
00:08:32B-Fab is legal for her team
00:08:34Completely unbeknownst to Miss Bliss
00:08:37Who just took down Meechan with a DDT on the outside
00:08:40And she's gonna find out now with that big kick by B-Fab to take control
00:08:58B-Fab on the outside of the ring just imposing her will on Alexa Bliss off of the blind tag
00:09:04And that can't be overlooked either, Cole
00:09:06The fact that Meechan and B-Fab have spent significantly more time together as a unit
00:09:11As a tag team than Tiffany Stratton and Alexa Bliss
00:09:14We know Meechan and B-Fab working toward a common goal
00:09:17And that is making sure that themselves and Jade Cargill make it back to the top of the WWE Mountain
00:09:22And the improvement in B-Fab can't be overlooked either
00:09:24Working both with Jade Cargill and of course the veteran Meechan
00:09:27A former TNA Knockouts Champion, among other things
00:09:30Here's the cover now by B-Fab and a kick out by Bliss
00:09:34Rising tides raise all shifts as B-Fab will attest
00:09:38You want to become great?
00:09:39It certainly helps to hang around other greats
00:09:42We talked for too long about the potential of B-Fab
00:09:45It's about time she starts to realize
00:09:47And Meechan with a cheap shot, a kick right to the face of Bliss
00:09:51As B-Fab was with the official, the veteran Charles Robinson
00:09:54Covered again by B-Fab and a kick out
00:10:01More confidence being shown in B-Fab as of late
00:10:04No doubt about it and that could be a game changer for a superstar's career
00:10:09When you step into the ring with confidence, when you're sure of yourself
00:10:12And your next move can take you very, very far in this game
00:10:15Nice double team and Meechan doing a great job
00:10:18Dragging Bliss back toward their corner into a pinning combination
00:10:21And kick out at two by Bliss
00:10:25Again, I don't necessarily know that I agree with Alexa Bliss' request for this matchup
00:10:30Agreeing to this matchup
00:10:31Yes, she does have tag team chemistry with Charlotte Flair
00:10:34Whether or whether they're not friends, that's a conversation for another day
00:10:38But when you step into the ring with a full-time team like Meechan and B-Fab
00:10:42With somebody at your side who you don't know very well
00:10:45You don't have chemistry with
00:10:47It's not usually going to lead to success
00:10:49You can question Alexa Bliss' motives
00:10:51But again, I'm going to go back to what I said moments ago
00:10:53Tiffany Stratton
00:10:54And look at the nonchalant cover
00:10:56Why would Stratton take this match tonight?
00:11:00I understand retribution and revenge and all that stuff
00:11:02But she's got a title match in 24 hours
00:11:04Great question
00:11:05Her challenger isn't even in this match
00:11:06I don't like it at all
00:11:09Unless potentially Tiffany's thinking
00:11:11I can take out Meechan or B-Fab
00:11:13And maybe increase my chances of succeeding against Cargill
00:11:16Knowing that the baddies are omnipresent
00:11:18Yeah, good point
00:11:19The Minions will be around tomorrow at Night of Champions
00:11:22They're unbelievable
00:11:23And Meechan now looking at
00:11:25Oh, Bliss
00:11:26But it was a modified neckbreaker
00:11:28Whoa
00:11:28Is it enough?
00:11:29And Bliss kicks it too
00:11:31Looked like Alexa tried to counter
00:11:33And Meechan countered the counter
00:11:36Meechan is so underrated
00:11:38I know we talk about it all the time when we call her matches
00:11:40She's one of the most underrated superstars on the roster today
00:11:44One of the most experienced as well
00:11:46Meechan has traveled around the globe before arriving here in WWE
00:11:49She utilizes that education to great effect in the ring
00:11:52And right now she's educating Bliss
00:12:05And Alexa Bliss looking to rally here as Meechan missed the elbow drop
00:12:10Bliss and Stratton against Meechan and B-Fab
00:12:13And Bliss trying to make it to the women's United States Champion
00:12:18Meechan trying to drag Bliss back
00:12:20Got caught with a kick to the ear
00:12:21Tag made by B-Fab
00:12:23Tag made to Stratton
00:12:24And here comes Tiffany
00:12:25Tiffany
00:12:30Oh, what a back elbow
00:12:32I might have to eat my words if Tiffany brings this
00:12:37To Night of Champions
00:12:39She made very well
00:12:41Bam, a slam
00:12:43B-Fab kicks out
00:12:45As I started to say, if this Tiffany Stratton shows up in Riyadh
00:12:50She may very well be ready for the challenge pose by Jade Cargill
00:12:55Stratton firing on all cylinders for the last few moments
00:12:59Well, B-Fab though with a great counter there
00:13:01And now fighting back against some resilience being shown tonight by B-Fab
00:13:05Tiffany Stratton, the former gymnast
00:13:07Turns that into a stunner
00:13:08Cover now
00:13:09Hook of the leg
00:13:10And a kick out
00:13:14Tiffany Stratton
00:13:16You gotta wonder where her head's at when it comes to Jade Cargill
00:13:19Because Cargill's the one who took the WWE Championship from her
00:13:24After what was a spectacular year in 2025
00:13:28Stratton
00:13:28Swanton
00:13:30Cover
00:13:36Meech in at the last possible second
00:13:38Keeping the matchup alive
00:13:40And Bliss from the outside
00:13:41Ripping Meech into the outside
00:13:43And now the attack
00:13:44Bliss and Meech in
00:13:45Bliss has not forgotten what they did to Charlotte Flair last week
00:13:50And now Bliss sent into the timekeeper's area
00:13:54That might have made her forget
00:13:55Stratton with B-Fab across her shoulders
00:13:58Meech in trying to get involved
00:13:59And that distraction
00:14:01Does it cost Tiffany?
00:14:04But Jade Cargill's here
00:14:06Stratton was going for the move
00:14:07So Cargill got involved
00:14:10B-Fab turns it around
00:14:14Genius
00:14:16And the so-called baddies
00:14:18Pick up the win
00:14:20You and your winner
00:14:22The team of
00:14:23Meech in
00:14:25And
00:14:25B-Fab
00:14:26And what's important here, Corey, is that
00:14:28In the United States champion
00:14:30The woman who has to defend against Jade Cargill tomorrow night
00:14:33And if you think for an iota of a moment
00:14:36That that didn't affect the headspace of Tiffany Stratton
00:14:40This close to a title defense
00:14:42You are dead wrong
00:14:43Driven down face first
00:14:45By B-Fab
00:14:47After the assist from Jade Cargill
00:14:49It looks to me like
00:14:51Jade and the baddies are inside the head
00:14:53Of Miss Stratton
00:14:55And I don't believe that Jade Cargill is done yet
00:14:58Perhaps still a message to send
00:15:01To Tiffany Stratton
00:15:02In what is now a three-on-one situation
00:15:04Because Alexa Bliss has been taken out
00:15:09Uh-oh
00:15:11The woman who's been trying to align herself with Tiffany
00:15:15Chelsea Green
00:15:17Kendo stick in hand
00:15:21Uh-oh
00:15:22That doesn't bone well
00:15:23Yeah, that didn't work out too well
00:15:25And now Chelsea finds herself in a two-on-one situation
00:15:30And Cargill goes up over the top into the floor
00:15:33And Green holds the ring
00:15:36You see the smile on Tiffany's face
00:15:39She owes Chelsea Green, folks
00:15:42That could have been a disaster
00:15:53To now
00:15:56Tiffany Stratton turns her attention to tomorrow
00:15:58At Night of Champions
00:15:59And Jade Cargill
00:16:01Tiffany Stratton's gonna need the proverbial memory
00:16:03Of the goldfish
00:16:04Put tonight behind her
00:16:05Focus on what lies ahead
00:16:07A United States Championship opportunity
00:16:09Ladies and gentlemen
00:16:10July 21st
00:16:12July 21st
00:16:13Next month
00:16:14It is the return of WWE
00:16:16Unreal
00:16:18Season 3
00:16:19John Cena says goodbye
00:16:21A new superstar
00:16:22Is on the scene
00:16:23It's exclusively on Netflix
00:16:26Coming your way again
00:16:27On
00:16:28In July
00:16:28July
00:16:2921st
00:16:30Well, ladies and gentlemen
00:16:31The Bloodline situation
00:16:32Is really heating up
00:16:33This past Monday night on Raw
00:16:35It was Jimmy Uso
00:16:36In L.A. Night
00:16:37Tama Tonga
00:16:39Tala Tonga
00:16:39Challenging for the
00:16:41Tag Team Championships
00:16:42And had told Solo beforehand
00:16:44Keep your nose
00:16:45Out of our business tonight
00:16:46We don't need your help
00:16:48It backfired
00:16:49In spectacular fashion
00:16:50With Priest
00:16:51And Truth
00:16:52Retaining
00:16:53And there certainly
00:16:54Seems to be some
00:16:54Choppy waters
00:16:55Between the Tongans
00:16:57And Solo
00:16:57Soko
00:17:04Hey, Boris
00:17:06What's up?
00:17:07Did you see what happened
00:17:08On Monday?
00:17:09Huh?
00:17:09You see what happened
00:17:10To Jimmy?
00:17:11Hey, Roman ain't gonna like that
00:17:12Huh?
00:17:13He ain't gonna like that at all
00:17:16We saw
00:17:17And that's the problem
00:17:20Talking about
00:17:21What problem?
00:17:22We're tired of getting dragged
00:17:23Into your war
00:17:25Roman
00:17:25Jimmy
00:17:26All of it
00:17:28Your obsession with Roman
00:17:30Is tearing this group apart
00:17:32Tama, Tama
00:17:33You don't know
00:17:34What you're talking about
00:17:35Okay?
00:17:36Last week
00:17:36We told you
00:17:38To stay back
00:17:40You didn't listen
00:17:41And now we're standing here
00:17:43Without any goals
00:17:44Around our waist
00:17:46And now you're helping
00:17:47L.A. Night
00:17:50That's that's that
00:17:51So
00:17:53We got word from the elders
00:17:56Me and Tama
00:17:59We out
00:18:02Out
00:18:02Hold on
00:18:03Out
00:18:04You can't leave
00:18:06We just did
00:18:11You can't leave
00:18:12How you wanna leave
00:18:13You can't just walk away
00:18:15I brought you here
00:18:16You understand me
00:18:18Nobody leaves me
00:18:26On July 18th
00:18:29The world's most famous arena
00:18:33Delivers the main event
00:18:37You know what time it is
00:18:38You want a moment
00:18:40This is always a moment
00:18:44Everyone is buzzing
00:18:45About this spectacle
00:18:47It's Saturday night's main event
00:18:48At the Garden
00:18:49The night of Fanatics Fest
00:18:51NYC
00:18:56Well the Bloodlines situation
00:18:58Is really heating up
00:18:59And it's starting to get
00:19:00To a boiling point
00:19:01Last Friday night
00:19:02On Smackdown
00:19:04That works with what you said
00:19:05Right?
00:19:32I don't know
00:19:32Just not métall
00:19:33I'm going to be
00:19:33To a living room
00:19:34To a living room
00:19:34You don't be
00:19:34You don't …
00:19:48I don't remember
00:19:48I don't know
00:19:48You know
00:19:48I don't know
00:19:49You know
00:19:49I don't know
00:19:50You'reraktika
00:19:50To my people�ender
00:19:51You
00:20:52of the ring, B-Fab and Meechan picking up the win, but in the moments afterward, it
00:20:58was Tiffany Stratton who was taking heavy fire from Cargill, B-Fab, and Meechan until
00:21:03Chelsea Green would arrive, wielding a kendo stick momentarily.
00:21:08Yeah, things didn't work out for Chelsea Green, but somehow Chelsea Green was able to hold
00:21:15the ring in a two-on-one situation.
00:21:17Dave Cargill sent spilling over the top rope to the floor, no doubt humiliating Tiffany Stratton's
00:21:22challenger for night of champions and a momentary respite for Tiffany Stratton.
00:21:29Where's Nick?
00:21:30Where is Nick?
00:21:31I'm right here.
00:21:32I am not asking.
00:21:34Chelsea and I tonight make the match.
00:21:37You know what, Jay?
00:21:38I can do that.
00:21:39Good.
00:21:39Doing Chelsea tonight.
00:21:41Good.
00:21:45Oh, boy.
00:21:47Poor Chelsea.
00:21:50The final contest, gender for one call.
00:21:54Here's for the AAA Cruiserweight Championship.
00:22:00Agency from the Isle of Jersey.
00:22:02Great opportunity for Nathan Fraser tonight
00:22:16as he looks to win the AAA Cruiserweight Championship.
00:22:19This should be a barn burn, Corey.
00:22:22My advice to anyone watching, keep your eyes on the skies in this one.
00:22:26Do not blink.
00:22:27You are about to witness action from the best Cruiserweight division in the world.
00:23:09His opponent, from E-Kunabek, Mojito Queenie, at 182 pounds, the AAA Cruiserweight Champion, Ray Phoenix.
00:23:24Before we get into this matchup, Corey, I do want to go back to something that just happened a moment
00:23:28ago.
00:23:30Solo Sokoa is left alone.
00:23:34The MFTs walking out on their leader.
00:23:37Solo has made his bed. Now he must attempt to sleep in it.
00:23:41You can't really blame Tama and Tala for making that decision.
00:23:45And here is Ray Phoenix, the AAA Cruiserweight Champion.
00:23:49Corey, you were there to call all the action the night that Ray Phoenix wound in a match that many
00:23:53called the match of the night.
00:23:54Noche de los Grandes. Ray Phoenix capturing the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship from former champion Laredo Kid.
00:24:02And Phoenix made it his mission to make certain that his title was recognized as the Cruiserweight Championship in the
00:24:10sport of professional wrestling.
00:24:12Phoenix vowed to be a fighting champion and has so far lived up to his word.
00:24:16In fact, just this past Saturday night, Phoenix successfully defended against both former champion Laredo Kid and number one contender
00:24:24Lince Dorado in one of the most spectacular matches of the night.
00:24:28Second time holding the AAA Cruiserweight Championship.
00:24:32Ray Phoenix, Nathan Fraser, Daryl Sharma the official for this matchup tonight.
00:24:38Sort of a home game for Nathan Fraser.
00:24:40He was born 14 miles off the coast of France, the British Crown Dependency.
00:24:45Known as a Jersey, the Channel Islands.
00:24:48And Fraser now an iFlyer as well.
00:24:51And he'll awe you.
00:24:53And look at Phoenix caught by Fraser.
00:24:56Standing switch.
00:24:58Leapfrog.
00:25:01And the high-paced action is underway.
00:25:05If you're Fraser, how do you win the title from Phoenix?
00:25:08I don't have an answer for that because what I've seen, Ray Phoenix is downright flawless in the Cruiserweight division.
00:25:14Got a momentary stalemate, but don't expect the action to stop for long.
00:25:19Fraser and Axiom, former two-time NXT Tag Team Champions.
00:25:24Fraser at one point held the now defunct Heritage Cup.
00:25:29Ray Phoenix, one of the most decorated luchadores ever to step foot in AAA.
00:25:34And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that Fraser was trained by Seth Rollins.
00:25:40What?
00:25:40Oh!
00:25:41And into the second turnbuckle goes Phoenix, and Fraser has an opportunity.
00:25:45Great timing.
00:25:46That maneuver was innovated by Seth freakin' Rollins.
00:25:49We've seen him use it to great effect throughout his career.
00:25:52That's one way to slow down Ray Phoenix.
00:25:54There aren't too many competitors who can match the aerial ability of the Cruiserweight Champion.
00:26:00Cross body, lateral press, and a kick out at two.
00:26:04Phoenix, of course, the brother of the current Intercontinental Champion.
00:26:07Over on Monday Night Raw, Penta.
00:26:09They've been tag champs all over the world.
00:26:12Both men have spent their lives scratching and clawing to reach the pinnacle of this industry.
00:26:17Both enjoying great success.
00:26:19Cross body all the way to the outside from the champ.
00:26:22Ray Phoenix is not only quick, he's not only high impact, but he's got an, well, uncanny balance to him.
00:26:29Cat-like agility, some might say.
00:26:32Nathan Fraser attempting to deliver a super kick.
00:26:34Caught off guard, but caught the enziguri.
00:26:36And Phoenix down on the apron.
00:26:38Again, champion's advantage in this match.
00:26:41Fraser has to pin or submit the champion.
00:26:43And now Nathan Fraser looking to fly.
00:26:45Up over the top, and down goes Phoenix.
00:26:48Kobe Conhero takes out the champion.
00:26:51Can Phoenix get back in this?
00:27:00Is this what you expected so far out of these two?
00:27:04Absolutely.
00:27:04We expected fast, we expected furious.
00:27:08As we love to say in Triple-A, esto es lucha, this is wrestling.
00:27:12This is the sort of action made famous in Triple-A.
00:27:18I gotta question this decision by Fraser.
00:27:20Well, taking his time, and Ray Phoenix going to your point.
00:27:24It allowed Ray Phoenix to regain himself and take the upper hand.
00:27:28One of these days, you guys will start trusting me.
00:27:31I watch every second of this, I study this, I love this.
00:27:34I know what I'm talking about.
00:27:35I know you do, you're the voice of Triple-A.
00:27:37And somehow JBL's involved.
00:27:40Never thought I'd hear JBL actually calling a luchador matches.
00:27:45You can catch us on WWE's official YouTube channel each and every Saturday night.
00:27:50Although JBL does have a bit of a lucha background in his past.
00:27:54JBL, a former member of Alojo, one of the most dominant factions in Triple-A.
00:27:58JBL, a former member of Alojo, one of the most dominant fans in Triple-A.
00:28:03Oh!
00:28:04Vicious overhand chopped Hiro Tatsu by Ray Phoenix.
00:28:11Now Phoenix, sent across the ring.
00:28:14And look at this now.
00:28:16Wow, unique move by Ray Phoenix.
00:28:18Unbelievable counter by the champion.
00:28:21Around we go.
00:28:23And Frazier down face first.
00:28:25Phoenix with an opportunity.
00:28:26Cover now.
00:28:27Is it enough?
00:28:28And a kick out by Frazier with the Triple-A cruiserweight title on the line.
00:28:38Phoenix knew he was in for a fight tonight.
00:28:40We've seen Frazier in the past.
00:28:42Tremendous high-fire, high-impact offense.
00:28:45We've said the same thing numerous times about Phoenix's brother Penta.
00:28:48These two gentlemen live to fight.
00:28:50It's why they wake up in the morning.
00:28:52It makes them feel alive!
00:28:53And look at that.
00:28:54Frazier just dumping him on the back of his neck.
00:28:57And a kick out by the champ.
00:29:02Could have been the opportunity Frazier was waiting for.
00:29:05Beginning to turn the tides back into his own favor.
00:29:11Base first goes Phoenix.
00:29:13Stacks the shoulders.
00:29:14Almost had him another air fall.
00:29:18Right now, Nathan Frazier cannot allow himself to grow frustrated.
00:29:23He had to expect this sort of resilience out of the cruiserweight kingpin.
00:29:30When I think at this point, you gotta...
00:29:32What do you do, right?
00:29:34Like, you throw everything you got at Phoenix.
00:29:36I actually like this strategy from Frazier.
00:29:39Lock in a submission hold.
00:29:40It's most likely not gonna bring Frazier to the championship in this instance.
00:29:43But you can keep control over the champion while you re-strategize your game,
00:29:48while you try to figure out what's next.
00:29:49We talk a lot about the dynamic, fast-paced style of Frazier.
00:29:52But as he's showing here, he can mat-face wrestle.
00:30:09The triple-A cruiserweight champion, Ray Phoenix, trying to rally against the game challenger,
00:30:16Nathan Frazier, here tonight on SmackDown.
00:30:20And look at these machine gun-like chops from the cruiserweight champion.
00:30:25Oh, wow!
00:30:26What a backhand!
00:30:29Nice reversal by Frazier.
00:30:31Handspring by Phoenix.
00:30:32Oh!
00:30:32And turns it into a stunner.
00:30:34And Ray Phoenix now!
00:30:36With Frazier up!
00:30:38Can he put him away?
00:30:39Oh!
00:30:40Neckbreaker!
00:30:41Cover!
00:30:41Hook of the leg!
00:30:43Kick out at two!
00:30:46And now it's Phoenix getting frustrated.
00:30:48Take another look at the spectacular athleticism.
00:30:51Ripping Frazier face-first into the canvas.
00:30:54Followed up immediately by an almost Death Valley driver turned into a neckbreaker by Phoenix.
00:31:00And kudos to Nathan Frazier for staying alive.
00:31:03Let's go Phoenix!
00:31:05The Let's Go Phoenix Chats bringing through the 0-2 here in London.
00:31:10And what I thought Corey was going to be a home game for Frazier.
00:31:13It's all about respect.
00:31:15The art of Lucha Libre being displayed around the world.
00:31:20Talk about a step up Enziguri to the top rope.
00:31:22And now Frazier, Nathan Frazier.
00:31:27Frazier wants a superplex.
00:31:28Phoenix doing his best to fight him off.
00:31:30He's on his feet.
00:31:31Frazier going to meet him up there again.
00:31:33Wow!
00:31:33The superplex by Frazier!
00:31:37Oh, look at this!
00:31:38Phoenix with a great counter!
00:31:40Hitting combination and a kick out at two!
00:31:42Normally Frazier goes for that final cut after that superplex.
00:31:45Phoenix didn't allow it to happen!
00:31:47Both men back to their feet!
00:31:48Both men down again!
00:31:55This is for the Triple-A Cruiserweight Championship!
00:31:59You said it earlier, Corey.
00:32:01Phoenix, much like his brother Penta, the Intercontinental Champion.
00:32:05Wants to be a fighting champion.
00:32:06Defend this title all over the world.
00:32:08In Mexico just a few nights ago.
00:32:10In London here tonight.
00:32:17The fans here in London know ball.
00:32:21The chants of this is awesome.
00:32:24Ringing throughout the 0-2.
00:32:30Both men now unloading heavy artillery in the middle of the ring.
00:32:34Phoenix gets the best of the exchange for the moment.
00:32:36Hitting ball!
00:32:38Oh!
00:32:39What a knee!
00:32:40Phoenix might have lost a tooth!
00:32:42Somehow he's still on his feet and I don't have any idea how.
00:32:45Boom!
00:32:46That kicked to Frazier!
00:32:48Drops Frazier to a knee.
00:32:51Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh!
00:32:52Oh my goodness!
00:32:55Unbelievable!
00:32:57Frazier now looking for the win!
00:33:00Cover now on Phoenix to win the championship!
00:33:04And a kick out!
00:33:06Corey, that was incredible!
00:33:07Absolutely incredible!
00:33:09You're absolutely right at one!
00:33:11I mean, there's a Spanish fly from the second rope coming up.
00:33:14After that, Nathan Frazier understands the assignment.
00:33:17Notice how he kept his foot on the gas pedal.
00:33:25Right now, up to the top.
00:33:27Double knees now by Ray Phoenix.
00:33:31Go!
00:33:33Phoenix!
00:33:35Phoenix could be looking for the Mexican Muscle Buster!
00:33:37Yeah!
00:33:38Phoenix, launching the top rope.
00:33:40Uh-oh!
00:33:40Kick caught him in the ear.
00:33:41Ray Phoenix now, right here in front of us at ringside.
00:33:44Ah!
00:33:45Frazier with a little bit of daylight.
00:33:48What can the challenger make happen, if anything?
00:33:50Well, you gotta, you gotta dig down deep.
00:33:52You gotta try to pull out all the stops.
00:33:54It's time for the four-
00:33:55Oh, Frazier!
00:33:56Frazier!
00:33:59Oh!
00:33:59O-E-J!
00:34:00O-E-J!
00:34:01O-E-J!
00:34:01Now placing his challenger back inside the ring.
00:34:03And what is Ray Phoenix?
00:34:04Valiantly with everything in his being.
00:34:07But Ray Phoenix reminded his challenger why he is the cruiserweight kingpin.
00:34:13The triple-A world cruiserweight champion.
00:34:17The Mexican Muscle Buster stacks up Frazier and still.
00:34:23What a performance by Nathan Frazier tonight.
00:34:28Against the champion Ray Phoenix.
00:34:31That young man is nothing to be ashamed of.
00:34:35And Ray Phoenix showing absolute respect to the challenger tonight.
00:34:40And man, these two deserve the standing ovation that they're getting here tonight
00:34:46at the O2 Arena in London.
00:34:52I'm currently joined by the WWE Tag Team Champions, Damian Priest and R-Truth.
00:34:59Guys, congrats on a successful title defense last week against the MFTs.
00:35:04But I gotta ask, what's next?
00:35:07The clubhouse, dawg!
00:35:08Tell him, D.
00:35:09The hot tub.
00:35:10Nope.
00:35:11No.
00:35:12We're looking forward to moving on from the MFTs.
00:35:14And then, now, SmackDown has so many talented tag teams.
00:35:17This is what we want.
00:35:18We want.
00:35:23We're surprised you survived last week.
00:35:25But since you did, and since you're still holding those WWE Tag Team Championships,
00:35:30and since we've got these triple-A Tag Team Championships,
00:35:33let's put all the gold on the line.
00:35:36Winner takes all.
00:35:37You lose your daughters want to come over the air and talk to us?
00:35:47Your title versus our titles?
00:35:50That's literally what I just said.
00:35:53Jimmy said, all the Judgment Day can have a title.
00:35:57Real and fan.
00:35:58You know you're not in the Judgment Day anymore, right?
00:36:00How dare you?
00:36:03Don't, don't, don't.
00:36:03Don't talk about the Judgment Day.
00:36:05But you're not in the Judgment Day.
00:36:06Shut your mouth!
00:36:08Why are you talking like that?
00:36:09This is the way I talk!
00:36:10No it's not.
00:36:12If you want to go to war, then we can go.
00:36:17Guys, we're good with that.
00:36:18I'll let you know when and where.
00:36:20Come on.

00:36:42And there were rumors that you would be here,
00:36:44but this is SmackDown.
00:36:46What are you doing here?
00:36:48I should ask you the same question.
00:36:49Aren't you on Raw too?
00:36:50And by the way, are you stalking me?
00:36:52How'd you know I was pulling up right now?
00:36:54Oh, man.
00:36:54Yeah, I gotta say, a little weird on your part,
00:36:56but that's okay.
00:36:56Look, I got questions just like you do,
00:36:58but the difference between me and you,
00:37:00I'm gonna go out there,

00:39:01J Uso, at Night of Champions!
00:39:05We wanna send a special thank you to Pitbull, Ne-Yo and Afrojack for the hit single, To The Moon,
00:39:11featuring DJ Buda.
00:39:13The official theme song of Night of Champions, available now on all platforms.
00:39:47Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, H-H-Night!
00:39:52Listen, L.A. Night's all business, and there's a reason for that.
00:39:55He is into it thick, Corey, in this war with the bloodline.
00:39:59Monday night, one-on-one, L.A. Night and Jim Uso, and the shocking arrival of Solo Sokoa,
00:40:05distracted L.A. Night, but as it would turn out, Solo wasn't there for L.A., he was there for
00:40:11Big Jim.
00:40:12Now, I want you to watch L.A. Night, he's trying to figure out what the hell just happened.
00:40:16Solo Sokoa actually helped me. He delivered the BFT to pick up the win.
00:40:49L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A.
00:40:58Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L
00:41:04.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night,
00:41:05L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A.
00:41:06Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L
00:41:07.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L.A. Night, L
00:41:14Let me talk to you.
00:41:21I agree with you, sir.
00:41:25Monday night, Jimmy Uso and I, we came out here.
00:41:28We had a battle.
00:41:30Unfortunately for Jimmy, he had to eat a BFT,
00:41:33three the hard way, and he caught himself staring at the lights.
00:41:36Yeah.
00:41:39That was the one guy from the bloodline that I kind of respect.
00:41:42I got to say, even so, that being the case,
00:41:45I think he got what he deserved.
00:41:47But all of a sudden right over here,
00:41:51a little bit of an unexpected assist happened in this corner,
00:41:55and it's just got me a little bit confused, if I'm honest.
00:41:59So with that being the case, Solo Sokoa,
00:42:02I want you to walk your keister down here right about now.
00:42:06Yeah.
00:42:13Don't be scared.
00:42:16Well, in Solo Sokoa's defense,
00:42:20he's got a lot of things on his mind tonight.
00:42:22I don't think he was expecting number one for LA Knight to show up,
00:42:25and then Palatanga and Palatanga, the NFTs,
00:42:28just walked out on Solo.
00:42:30To that point, what sort of business did Solo have to tend to right now?
00:42:35Because he doesn't have MFT business to worry about.
00:42:39Well, one of the reasons the MFT left.
00:42:41Remember why?
00:42:42Because they believe the obsession that Solo has with the bloodline
00:42:45is costing them business.
00:42:46They're telling my time to die,
00:42:48so I'm not getting ready to fight.
00:42:50That's the struggle that runs with the pain.
00:42:51I see the smash with the paper in the face.
00:42:53This is my time.
00:42:54Ain't no time to waste.
00:42:55The warning is ready to send in my name.
00:42:57We're taking it all.
00:42:59We're telling the floor.
00:43:12I bet I ain't talking to the board.
00:43:13We're taking it all.
00:43:15We're taking it all.
00:43:18I ain't controlling the game.
00:43:20You should not step in my lane.
00:43:21We not contain.
00:43:22I am elite on the game.
00:43:24The legacy runs to my pain.
00:43:25I am a king.
00:43:26I am elite on the game.
00:43:32I am elite on the game.
00:43:36I am elite on the game.
00:43:58I got to be honest.
00:44:00First of all, that's a little catchy.
00:44:04But 10 out of 10 times, every time you come down to this ring,
00:44:08it's been to attack me.
00:44:10It's been to distract me.
00:44:11It's been you and I fighting right here in the center of the ring.
00:44:15So I'm trying to wrap my head around Monday,
00:44:17but at the same time, your song goes, I'm taking it all.
00:44:21So I don't know if you're taking Jimmy.
00:44:22You're coming to take me.
00:44:23We get it.
00:44:23Listen, listen.
00:44:24Listen, all right, I'm not here to fight you, okay?
00:44:29If you're looking for a fight, you're wasting your time.
00:44:32I'm not here for that.
00:44:34I don't know if you watched earlier, but everyone in my family has left me.
00:44:50Okay.
00:44:52I understand that's got to hurt.
00:44:55At the same time, my heart doesn't pump purple piss for you losing your family.
00:45:00Bottom line is this.
00:45:01If you ask me, you losing your family with the NFTs, NFTs, they're just as worthless.
00:45:09If you ask me, that just leaves you wide open, wide open to go right back into the fold, right
00:45:16back into the bloodline.
00:45:20That's what that tells me.
00:45:36You want to stand around and listen to that crap?
00:45:39You want to stand around and listen to Roman Reigns, Lord over you?
00:45:46Because here's the thing, man.
00:45:47I'm just thinking they're all wondering why you did what you did on Monday.
00:45:51You might even be wondering why you did what you did on Monday.
00:45:53I don't know if it was a little Roman Reigns initiation ritual.
00:45:57Why, why, why?
00:45:58Why?
00:45:58You want to know why?
00:46:00It's because I hate that damn family.
00:46:05That's why I hate the bloodline.
00:46:08I hate that I was a part of the group.
00:46:11I hate Jacob.
00:46:13I hate the Usos.
00:46:16I hate the OCT, Roman Reigns.
00:46:23I hate the OCT, Roman Reigns.
00:46:25I hate the OCT, Roman Reigns.
00:46:32I hate the whole bloodline.
00:46:34And the only way for me to feel better is if I finish them.
00:46:39But I know there's one thing we have in common, L.A. Knight.
00:46:47That you and me does not like the bloodline.
00:46:57My man, you should hate the bloodline.
00:47:00You should hate him for every...
00:47:02Let's be more specific.
00:47:04You should hate Roman Reigns for every single thing he's done to you.
00:47:08But you know who else should hate Roman Reigns for everything he's done to them?
00:47:12Jimmy, Jay, Jacob.
00:47:15Yeah, what's happened with them?
00:47:17Everything that's happened...
00:47:18And if I argue honestly, he did way more to them than he's done to you.
00:47:22And look at them.
00:47:23They've gone right back into the fold.
00:47:25Right underneath.
00:47:26You had the artist formerly known as the main event, Jey Uso.
00:47:30Now known as baggage handler, Jey Uso.
00:47:34And you think that I'm going to trust you.
00:47:39That you're not just going to go back and join them again?
00:47:43I've seen the movie.
00:47:44I know how it ends.
00:47:45Why is this different?
00:47:47It's different because I have nothing to lose.
00:47:52It's different because I have no family.
00:47:56It's different because it's just me now.
00:48:02And the enemy of my enemy can be friends.
00:48:09We can work together.
00:48:13We can be partners and take out the bloodline.
00:48:18We can watch each other's back.
00:48:32We, we, we, friends.
00:48:37Just you.
00:48:40I've heard that before.
00:48:41It's just me, Uso.
00:48:42Day one, all that.
00:48:43I've heard that before from people.
00:48:46So I got a little bit of skepticism.
00:48:48But let me think about it for a second.
00:48:50Let me digest all this.
00:48:51And I'll tell you why.
00:48:52Because
00:48:54do I hate the bloodline?
00:48:55Yeah.
00:48:58Am I outnumbered?
00:49:00Yeah.
00:49:03Have those numbers always worked against me?
00:49:05Yeah.
00:49:06Yeah.
00:49:09Do I probably need help?
00:49:11Yeah.
00:49:13Do I need Solo Sekoah standing next to me watching my back?
00:49:18Yeah.
00:49:20Nana.
00:49:24I live and I die doing things my way because it's the only way I've ever known.
00:49:30And I will live and die the same way, being me the only way I can with everybody saying.
00:49:41Thanks, but no thanks.
00:49:44Again, is it the paranoia that we talked about Monday night creeping into L.A. night?
00:49:49But whatever it is, Corey, Solo is truly Solo at this point in time.
00:50:01Let's go to Byron Saxton.
00:50:05Michael Cora, thank you very much.
00:50:07Sammy Zane, thank you for joining me.
00:50:09There's been a lot of discussion about the officiating job you did last week between Cody Rhodes and...
00:50:14Listen, I don't need to hear this from you, too.
00:50:16I've been hearing it all week.
00:50:17Okay, look, I watched it back.
00:50:19I called it right down the middle.
00:50:20I called it as fairly as possible until I got pushed to my limit.
00:50:23And I'll admit I retaliated, but I did what anybody else would have done.
00:50:26But you don't seem to get that.
00:50:28Nick Aldis doesn't seem to get it.
00:50:29Cody doesn't get it.
00:50:30Nobody seems to get it around here except him.
00:50:36He's the only one who understands around here.
00:50:39But you know what?
00:50:40It doesn't even matter, Byron, because my mother used to always tell me good things happen to good people.
00:50:44And now I'm about to wrestle for the WWE Championship.
00:50:50Well, to that point, you've had previous world title opportunities in the past,
00:50:54but this time does feel a little different.
00:50:59Look, Byron, I'll be honest, okay?
00:51:01The last few months have not been great for me.
00:51:03Anybody who's watched me crash out backstage and just seen me, I've been an emotional wreck.
00:51:08I'll admit it, okay?
00:51:09I haven't been fully myself.
00:51:11And it all started when I had a chance to win the world championship in Saudi Arabia at the Royal
00:51:15Rumble.
00:51:18And I lost.
00:51:20But because I stayed true to myself, because I stayed good, Byron,
00:51:27now the universe has provided me this opportunity to redeem myself.
00:51:33Oh, my God.
00:51:40I have a chance to redeem myself.
00:51:46I'm going to become the WWE Champion.
00:51:51We could be hours away from that redemption.
00:52:03Welcome home to Paige.
00:52:29Ladies and gentlemen, it is Paige versus JCJ.
00:52:33And it's presented by the new $7 big deal meal, Sonic.
00:52:38Live free.
00:52:39Eat, Sonic.
00:53:07I hate the O.C.T.
00:53:09Roman.
00:53:10I hate the O.C.T.
00:53:22Roman.
00:53:25I hate the O.C.T.
00:53:27Roman.
00:53:28Ray.
00:53:34I hate the O.C.T.
00:53:36Roman.
00:53:47I hate the O.C.T.
00:53:50Roman.
00:53:51Right.
00:54:02Saturday night's main event returns to Madison Square Garden in New York City on July 18th.
00:54:11Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:54:15In the ring of the tag team champions, Paige and Brie Bella, who successfully defended the
00:54:21titles against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria Monday night before Lyra would turn on her friend
00:54:25Bayley.
00:54:26Nonetheless, Paige set for one-on-one action.
00:54:35Music.
00:54:41Music.
00:54:43Music.
00:54:46Music.
00:54:47Music.
00:55:05This is how this matchup all came about a couple of weeks ago.
00:55:09Paige and Brie Bella doing battle with Fallon Henley and Lainey Reed of Fatal Influence.
00:55:15And J.C. Jane would inevitably get herself involved trying to come to the aid of Fallon Henley.
00:55:21Unfortunately, J.C. would get caught red-handed and ejected from ringside,
00:55:26which opened the door for a few shenanigans that would benefit Brie Bella and Paige in this instance.
00:55:33The champions pick up a big-time win, smut to the chagrin of Fatal Influence.
00:55:49Fatal Influence who claims they're about to take over everything in WWE.
00:55:57I was around NXT during Fatal Influence's rise to prominence,
00:56:01and it wasn't uncommon to hear comparisons made between J.C. Jane and Paige.
00:56:06J.C. Jane however feels she's a more skilled wrestler than even Paige ever was,
00:56:11and is taking everything Paige built to the next level.
00:56:14Well, J.C.'s first on the scene here since coming up to Friday Night SmackDown for Paige.
00:56:18A homecoming here tonight in London.
00:56:21Going up a couple of hours to the Northeast in Norwich.
00:56:26A number of family members in attendance here tonight to watch Paige go one-on-one with J.C. Jane.
00:56:32As we just saw, J.C. Jane did her best to help Fatal Influence as a whole and paid the
00:56:38price for it.
00:56:38However, just want to remind everyone that this matchup is presented by the new $7 big deal meal from Sonic.
00:56:45Live free, eat Sonic.
00:56:47If somehow, someway, J.C. is able to pick up a victory over Paige,
00:56:52Fatal Influence would definitely have an argument for a future title shot.
00:56:55Cover by Jane.
00:56:57Look for a quick win and a kick out by Paige.
00:56:59Not to mention bragging rights.
00:57:02Not only is Paige a target because she does hold the Women's Tag Team Championships alongside Brie Bella.
00:57:08Paige is a massive name in this business.
00:57:10She's been around and made a lot of headlines for a lot of years.
00:57:13And when she returned to the scene here in WWE, she instantly became a target for a lot of talent
00:57:19looking to make a name at someone's expense.
00:57:20Yeah, former two-time Divas Champion, of course NXT Women's Champion.
00:57:25One-time tag champ as well now with the Hall of Famer Brie Bella.
00:57:31And Jane sent into the top rope.
00:57:34Jane tried her best to hold on to the top rope to avoid the impact.
00:57:39Paige able to call the audible and a big headbutt rocks Jane.
00:57:44Now, J.C. sent into the top turnbuckle again and Paige is not done there.
00:57:49In your house!
00:57:52In your house!
00:57:54In your house!
00:57:54In your house!
00:57:55In your house!
00:57:56Paige feeding off the live crowd tonight in London who are chanting, this is your house.
00:58:01J.C. Jane has not been able to get out of the blocks in this matchup.
00:58:05You see Reed and Henley looking on.
00:58:09And Paige can feel a certain degree of comfort because she does have Brie Bella watching her back on the
00:58:13outside.
00:58:14That said, the tag team champions are outnumbered by Fatal Influence.
00:58:18Submission hold applied, Jane in trouble.
00:58:20Paige would love to tap out J.C. Jane here in London tonight.
00:58:24J.C. makes it to the bottom rope.
00:58:26J.C. Jane, a former NXT Women's Champion tag champ as well.
00:58:34J.C.
00:58:36And now fat on- jerk
00:58:38And PayOK Looks looking to regroup as well.
00:58:40Pay $10 and a cannonball, the fatal influence.
00:58:48The Cup on the zigzag!?
00:59:43J.C. Jain has retained control of this matchup against Paige throughout the commercial break. Fatal influence providing the distraction,
00:59:52allowing J.C. to take over.
00:59:54Listen, I don't know in recent history if I've seen anyone thrive off of being overlooked the way J.C.
01:00:00Jain has.
01:00:00At one time, they referred to her as the most beatable NXT champion of all time, and she took that
01:00:05and used it as motivation, used it as fuel, and took her career as well as Fatal Influence to the
01:00:11next level.
01:00:11That's before one of the voices of NXT, the great Hall of Famer, Booker T, called her a rock star.
01:00:18And ever since J.C. Jain has taken off, manipulative, opportunistic.
01:00:24As you can see here, she can engage in powerful strikes, has a classic wrestling style as well.
01:00:29Well, just to save you, a nasty text from Booker T. I believe he referred to her as the rock
01:00:34star.
01:00:41And now Paige fighting back in a clothesline will drop Jain.
01:00:48German suplex takes down J.C.
01:00:54Oh, Paige, fisherman suplex.
01:00:59Paige looking for the Paige turner, there it is.
01:01:02Connecting, J.C. Jain, cover now by Paige.
01:01:04It's enough to put her away, and Jain's able to just get the shoulder up at two and a half.
01:01:19London looking to rally Paige here.
01:01:23It can be frustrating for a superstar.
01:01:25We've seen Paige win many matches with the Paige turner over the years.
01:01:29Looks like she might be thinking about Rampage, the same thing that took down Lyra Valkyria on Monday.
01:01:33Yeah, won the match in the tag match, but J.C. Jain with a great counter roll through.
01:01:36Paige has got a kick out at two.
01:01:41Oh, Jain, what a...
01:01:42The contact knocks Paige down in a kick out.
01:01:47And J.C. getting a bit frustrated.
01:01:51J.C. can't allow herself to get too frustrated because Paige will capitalize upon that.
01:01:58Delaney Reed and Fallon Henley on the outside shouting words of encouragement to J.C. Jain.
01:02:04J.C. looking to put Paige away.
01:02:08Looking for the rolling encore.
01:02:09That's a finishing move, but wasn't able to connect.
01:02:13Paige now into the corner.
01:02:15Great escape by J.C. Jain.
01:02:16Driving Paige, sternum first.
01:02:17Now shoulders down, backslide.
01:02:19Feet on the ropes.
01:02:20And Brie, well, Brie Bella...
01:02:23J.C. Jain was using the ropes, I believe.
01:02:26And Brie Bella knocked the leg off.
01:02:28Ballon just got dropped by Brie.
01:02:30And Brie driven into the ring post.
01:02:33Lainey Reed's seen about enough.
01:02:35So has Paige.
01:02:37J.C. from behind.
01:02:39Roll up, shoulders down.
01:02:40Paige kicks out.
01:02:43Stacks her up.
01:02:44Paige with the win.
01:02:48Here is your winner, one half of the women's tag team champions, Paige.
01:02:57What a homecoming for Paige tonight.
01:03:00Feeding off the energy here in London.
01:03:04One half of the women's tag team champions with a big time one-on-one win.
01:03:16There you go.
01:03:18Yeah.
01:03:19Whoa.
01:03:25Dan Hows it?
01:03:25Hey, Zach.
01:03:26How are you?
01:03:27Look, I just want to say thanks again for helping the Knicks win the NBA Finals.
01:03:30It was an unbelievable run, but last weekend I got shocked in the lab.
01:03:33Ever since then, I've been feeling strange.
01:03:35My fist keeps twitching.
01:03:37I have this sudden urge to move back to Long Island.
01:03:38Keep chitin' woo.
01:03:40What's going on, man?
01:03:41Hey.
01:03:41Oh, wait a minute.
01:03:42Shut up.
01:03:42Hey.
01:03:43Where'd my guys go?
01:03:44I don't know.
01:03:45Hey.
01:03:51Where's Freakhausen?
01:03:52Guys, he just left.
01:03:52I have no idea.
01:03:53No, no, no, no.
01:03:54He has to pay us that money back, so...
01:03:56Where is that guy?
01:03:56I don't know.
01:03:57Go find him.
01:03:57Go find him yourself.
01:04:04Hey, don't touch it.
01:04:05Sorry.
01:04:06Sorry.
01:04:08Hey.

01:06:15Finally making your own decisions.
01:06:18Reminds me to Tamar that I used to run with.
01:06:21Brother.
01:06:25We did used to run together.
01:06:28That was a long time ago.
01:06:31You know, Shinsuke is from my past too.
01:06:39And we all saw how that went.
01:06:55Yeah!
01:07:11Well, thank God Dan Housen found Frankenstein and the Bride of Frankenstein.
01:07:16That's real clever, Michael Cole.
01:07:18That's Kit Wilson and The Miz, the most must-see superstar in WWE history.
01:07:24Miz doesn't know where he is, who he is,
01:07:26what his beautiful wife's name is.
01:07:28This is a tragedy.
01:07:29Well, they look like extras for The Walking Dead.
01:07:34Have you no proof?
01:07:36The man has a family.
01:07:39And toxicity's on the rise worldwide.
01:07:42Now that Kit can't think straight.
01:07:46Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Kit Wilson, The Miz,
01:07:51hitting very nice, very evil, Dan Housen.
01:07:59Well, that now goes to two hours next week,
01:08:01so I'm interested to see how Miz and Kit Wilson,
01:08:04what state they're going to be in by then.
01:08:07Very evil, very nice, very evil, very nice.
01:08:10This is hysterical.
01:08:13Oh, no.
01:08:13He's catatonic.
01:08:14This is dangerous, Michael Cole.
01:08:17Miz and Kit Wilson have become hazardous to themselves.
01:08:21Evil, him cast.
01:08:22Fuck you people.
01:08:24Do, do, do, do.
01:08:27Dan Housen.
01:08:32Hello, London Housen.
01:08:36It is I, Dan Housen, very nice, very evil,
01:08:41and I am here to welcome you to the most must-see
01:08:44WWE television show of all time.
01:08:47Welcome to Dan Housen TV.
01:08:53And my guest, the Legion of Dan Housen.
01:08:57Hello, The Miz.
01:08:58How do you feel about Dan Housen replacing you
01:09:01on your own TV show?
01:09:03Awesome!
01:09:06And let's give it up for the hometown boy,
01:09:09Kit Wilson!
01:09:14And my friend, how do you feel about Las Gazas
01:09:17destroying Dan Housen's experiments?
01:09:20Toxic! Toxic! Toxic!
01:09:22Absolutely, I agree.
01:09:28Well, I guess they're coming to collect.
01:09:30Well, good.
01:09:31That's what Dan Housen deserves for lobotomizing two of our top superstars.
01:09:34He didn't lobotomize.
01:09:35He'd be shocked, though.
01:09:37Just like he did a J.D. McDonough on Monday.
01:09:39I wonder if J.D. ever got to the doctors.
01:09:41I sure hope so.
01:09:42So how much money does Dan Housen actually owe these two guys?
01:09:46I believe it's in the range of six figures, Cole.
01:09:48And look at this!
01:09:49Angel and Bardo aren't going to stand for it any longer.
01:09:52Well, they go after the Miz and Kit Wilson,
01:09:56who have absolutely no idea what's going on here
01:09:58or where they're at.
01:10:06Dan Housen better do that disappearing act right now that he does.
01:10:19Well, Dan Housen's got some backup.
01:10:23See, no hard feelings by Matt Cordona.
01:10:26He got shot too, didn't he?
01:10:27Oh, he's never been right to begin with.
01:10:34Okay, okay, gentlemen, that's quite enough.
01:10:37Everybody just hold up.
01:10:41Now, I don't exactly know what this is,
01:10:44but I do know that it needs to end sooner rather than later.
01:10:47And seeing as how at least four of you
01:10:49are in some sort of condition to compete,
01:10:52I've booked a tag team match.
01:10:54Dan Housen and Matt Cardona versus Los Garza
01:10:56and London Town.
01:10:57That starts right now.
01:11:00Great job by our general manager, Nick Aldis.
01:12:13And we're back on a Friday Night Smack, that impromptu matchup, Matt Cardona and Dan Housen against Los Garza, trying
01:12:20to get money out of Dan Housen.
01:12:22Meanwhile, The Miz and Kit Wilson, who were electrocuted by Dan Housen, are out here in a catatonic stake.
01:12:27Miz is wandering around like a member of The Walking Dead.
01:12:30I think I figured it out, Cole.
01:12:31Why don't you go give Miz a flower?
01:12:33Hopefully he throws you in a lake.
01:12:34How about you go do an interview with him?
01:12:36That would be an extreme.
01:12:37Oh, my God.
01:12:38Brodsky, boot.
01:12:39Just kicked Birdo's features into the front row.
01:12:43Matt Cardona looked like he was going for the Rough Rider there.
01:12:46See what I did there?
01:12:47Because he got shocked back to Long Island in that whole electrocution bit.
01:12:51Did I just catch him?
01:12:52Oh, woo, something or other.
01:12:54Well, that's what Angel's doing.
01:12:57And then we didn't see it, but Birdo just took a cheap shot and knocked Dan Housen off the apron.
01:13:05Quality entertainment, ladies and gentlemen.
01:13:08Los Garza's against Matt Cardona.
01:13:10And, um, okay, Miz, that's enough.
01:13:13He just keeps wandering around our table.
01:13:15And Los Garza's now in control.
01:13:17This is a dangerous situation for Cardona and Dan Housen.
01:13:21Well, Cardona stuck his nose in Dan Housen's business, as curious as that may be.
01:13:26And now Cardona's paying the price for trying to be a hero.
01:13:29And Angel and Cardona just stomping the heck at him.
01:13:32Matt Cardona in the corner.
01:13:33I like this.
01:13:34I like the ruthless side of Angel and Birdo, reminding the world who they are, what they're capable of.
01:13:42Cardona may rue the day he decided to come out here and help Dan Housen.
01:13:46And a cheap shot.
01:13:52Covered by Birdo.
01:13:53Hook of the leg and a kick out.
01:13:56Miz and Kit Wilson are like human bumper cars.
01:13:59Did you ever see stepbrothers when they're sleepwalking?
01:14:01Yep.
01:14:02Yeah, I'm afraid to wake Miz or Kit Wilson up.
01:14:04Because it might get even worse.
01:14:06I don't think it can.
01:14:07Tag made and here comes Angel.
01:14:09I'm sure for the right price, Dan Housen can do anything.
01:14:13I paid him a lot to help the next one.
01:14:15And here we go.
01:14:16Angel!
01:14:17And Birdo with a double team.
01:14:19And Los Garza's in control.
01:14:21That's it, Juan!
01:14:26Hey!
01:14:30Hey!
01:14:32Yeah!
01:14:33Oh, Kit Wilson, folks.
01:14:35Send it to the timekeeper.
01:14:36Well, as much as I want to make fun of this, Wilson and Miz are defenseless.
01:14:41They are helpless.
01:14:42They have no idea what they're doing.
01:14:44Somebody's going to get hurt out here.
01:14:45Oh, and it may be Angel.
01:14:50Miz reminds me of one of those action figures where you pull the string on their back and
01:14:54they say one of five cool phrases.
01:14:56That's all he's been tagged.
01:14:58Here's Dan Housen.
01:15:00I've been making Frankenstein references for an hour.
01:15:01Cole, welcome to the party.
01:15:03Inverted atomic drop, followed up by the clothesline.
01:15:06And Dan Housen now showing off in the ring.
01:15:10Very good.
01:15:12You were supposed to say very evil.
01:15:14Get with the program.
01:15:15Don't tell me how to live my life.
01:15:18Who's going to live?
01:15:19Who's going to live?
01:15:20Dan Housen.
01:15:21He's out of gas.
01:15:22Running a little low on the fuel tank.
01:15:29Oh, nobody home.
01:15:31Rare miscommunication between Los Garza.
01:15:33German suplex by Dan Housen.
01:15:36One, two, three.
01:15:37Angel.
01:15:38Oh, what a stop to the back.
01:15:40And a kick to Cardona.
01:15:42You owe me money and you're going to pay for it.
01:15:49Get out of here.
01:15:50Get out of here.
01:15:51One, two, three.
01:15:53You know, Angel and Berto have their own methods of extracting due payments from people who may have wronged them.
01:16:00And, oh, no.
01:16:01Oh, my God.
01:16:02Oh, Ken Wilson, I think on Instinct alone, was able to grab the chair from Angel.
01:16:08Oh, and Rough Rider.
01:16:13Dan Housen from behind.
01:16:15Oh, and a kick out.
01:16:16Almost had Erdo.
01:16:19Dan Housen knocked down with that kick.
01:16:30Birdo making the long climb to the top.
01:16:33Birdo's cross.
01:16:34Oh, my goodness.
01:16:35The ring post just blew up.
01:16:37Birdo was cursed by Dan Housen.
01:16:39You're going to pay for this, Dan Housen.
01:16:41Dan Housen.
01:16:43One, two, three.
01:16:44With the win.
01:16:46Good night, Anne Housen.
01:16:48Here are your winners.
01:16:50The team of Matt Cardona and Dan Housen.
01:16:59Are you sure it was Dan Housen who electrocuted Cardona and not the canning bed?
01:17:08Let's take a look at the closing moments of his tag team showdown.
01:17:14Miraculously, Kit Wilson came to at the best possible time.
01:17:18I don't think he came to.
01:17:19I just think it was Instinct.
01:17:21Either way, Angel ate a Rough Rider for his troubles.
01:17:24And as Birdo attempted to gain his footing, the curse.
01:17:29Crash and Burn, inverted DDT.
01:17:32And a very nice, very evil victory for Dan Housen and Matt Cardona.
01:17:41Speaking of curse in life.
01:17:43And only one man to follow that up.
01:17:45Byron Saxton.
01:17:48Thanks, guys.
01:17:49That was interesting.
01:17:51Nonetheless, I'm standing by with the ring general, Gunther.
01:17:54And Gunther, earlier I spoke to Sami Zayn.
01:17:56And he described your match tomorrow night as his opportunity for redemption.
01:18:02What's your reaction?
01:18:04Redemption.
01:18:06If there's somebody that will need redemption, then it's me.
01:18:09Because I got screwed out being WWE champion twice.
01:18:15Well, I don't mean to incite you over Sami's comments.
01:18:19However, on the flip side, your win-loss record against Cody Rhodes hasn't really been in your favor.
01:18:28Byron, are you serious?
01:18:30Do you not understand the language I speak?
01:18:33I said, Cody screwed me twice.
01:18:36And as for tomorrow, it's going to go down very different.
01:18:39And exactly how is what I'm going to tell him tonight.
01:18:45Thank you, Gunther.
01:18:50An uphill battle for Chelsea Green.
01:18:54She goes to war against Jade Cargill.
01:18:57You got to go out there, Chelsea.
01:18:59Don't turn it back now.
01:19:00It's about to leave I'm traumatized when I light up the night sky.
01:19:04I'm the same guy.
01:19:35You got to go out there, Chelsea.
01:19:59WWE has taken over the O2 Arena on the River Thames in London.
01:20:04We have had special guests all week long.
01:20:07And just like Monday night, a star of Zufa Boxing, that is Aaron McKenna,
01:20:13who will main event Zufa 10 in Dublin, August 8th.
01:20:17Tickets are on sale right now via Ticketmaster.
01:20:20But before we get to Zufa 10, we've got Zufa Boxing 9,
01:20:24which will be live from the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
01:20:27Don't miss Edgar Berlanga versus Stephen Butler in a night of world-class boxing action.
01:20:32Upgrade your fight night with a VIP experience package featuring an exclusive photo opportunity
01:20:37with the world champ, the WWE superstar Liv Morgan and other combat sports stars.
01:20:43Get your tickets and VIP packages now at Ticketmaster.com.
01:20:46Speaking of Liv Morgan...
01:20:59Well, the women's world champion Liv Morgan still wants more gold.
01:21:05She wants the WWE Women's Championship.
01:21:07But in order to qualify for that opportunity, she must first get past the genius of the sky.
01:21:14Liv Morgan, EO Sky in the finals of Queen of the Ring.
01:21:18And a reminder, the Queen of the Ring and King of the Ring finals will be on ESPN
01:21:23to kick off Night of Champions.
01:21:26Pledge your allegiance to Chelsea Green.
01:21:44The following content is scheduled for one star.
01:21:48And to a new ring first from Victoria B.C., Chelsea Green.
01:21:56So, Corey, I have to admire Chelsea Green and her persistence.
01:22:02She's going to form an alliance with the United States champion Tiffany Stratton.
01:22:06But that persistence means she's got to face Jake Cargill now.
01:22:10Well, luckily for Chelsea Green, this isn't a kendo stick battle.
01:22:13So, this is a wrestling match where Chelsea is highly skilled and extremely comfortable.
01:22:18That said, Miss Green could be in for a rough night because there is a storm headed her way.
01:22:24And Jake Cargill is in a nasty, rotten mood tonight.
01:22:28Yeah, but don't count Chelsea out.
01:22:30Former two-time United States champion, tag team champion as well.
01:22:34And perhaps that anger will blind Jake Cargill tonight.
01:22:39I won't race it.
01:22:40To the end of the tunnel of chases.
01:22:52A storm is coming.
01:23:17And her opponent from Fero Beach, Florida, Jade Cargill.
01:23:27Okay, folks, we are just hours away from Night of Champions, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where Jade Cargill hopes to knock
01:23:35off Tiffany Stratton to win the United States championship.
01:23:38Now, Corey, I want to go back to something I said earlier on today.
01:23:41When I talked about Jade Cargill's strategy, putting Lisa and BFAB in a match against Tiffany Stratton.
01:23:46So, Tiffany would have to compete tonight.
01:23:48Jade Cargill would.
01:23:49However, the anger by Cargill could cost her because now she finds herself in a match less than 24 hours
01:23:55away from her matchup with Tiffany Stratton.
01:23:57Look in the eyes of Jade Cargill.
01:23:59Look at the strut of Jade Cargill.
01:24:02The storm is ready for battle tonight.
01:24:04And I think this could achieve a level of catharsis for Jade Cargill to clear her mind.
01:24:09Let's take out some of the frustrations I'm feeling tonight on Chelsea Green.
01:24:13That way, all I have to worry about tomorrow is the United States championship in Straton.
01:24:18Remember what happened to Stratton?
01:24:19She actually got pinknighted in that tag team matchup.
01:24:22If that happens to Jade Cargill, all bets are off.
01:24:24That is potentially true, but the opposite could also hold true.
01:24:29That being Jade Cargill showing a display of dominance at the expense of Chelsea Green, former United States champion.
01:24:35And again, for Chelsea Green, what does she have to do to have a chance against the storm tonight?
01:24:40Chelsea does have the experience advantage.
01:24:42Chelsea knows how to bend the rules.
01:24:44Chelsea knows how to circumvent certain circumstances.
01:24:47That's what she would be best served to lean on tonight because she's not going to win the power game
01:24:51against Jade Cargill.
01:24:52And according, we talked about this earlier, the maturation of Jade Cargill over the past year.
01:24:57This is a different Jade Cargill than even the person who won the WWE Championship from Tiffany Stratton back late
01:25:03last year.
01:25:04I agree wholeheartedly.
01:25:05I think Jade Cargill is a far more complete superstar than she was last year.
01:25:09And only time will tell, but it seems like she's heating up at the right time.
01:25:13The right time to knock off Tiffany Stratton and claim the United States Championship for her own.
01:25:17Well, it's also her.
