00:00When you have trouble winning, it causes alliances to be broken.
00:05And now James into the cover, hooks the leg, and Julia kicks out at two.
00:10And we heard for months that the nature of the business relationship
00:13between Kiana James and Julia was mutually beneficial
00:16until one side decided it was no longer beneficial.
00:20So why stay?
00:21Well, Corey, you and I have followed Kiana James' career for a number of years, right?
00:25The one thing we've always learned about her is she is deceitful.
00:29She's untrustworthy.
00:30Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:31Don't put words in my mouth, Cole.
00:33I happen to think Kiana James is a brilliant businesswoman, a shark even.
00:37She should be learned from.
00:38I'm not saying she's not a great businesswoman.
00:41You just called her a liar.
00:43If I said she was untrustworthy.
00:48How many great businessmen do you know that aren't trustworthy, Michael Cole?
00:53None.
00:57Kiana James dragging Julia back up.
01:00Big right hand.
01:00But again, I mean, in Julia's defense, she put all her trust into Kiana James.
01:05What did she get for it?
01:10Go ahead.
01:11Oh, you were asking me a question.
01:12I thought it was rhetorical.
01:13I didn't think you actually expected me to justify your nonsensical journalistic imitation.
01:18I don't ask rhetorical questions.
01:20Oh, okay.
01:21I'm a journalist.
01:22I'll tell you what Julia got.
01:23Julia became a household name around the world as a WWE superstar alongside Kiana James.
01:30I will give you that.
01:31Kiana was instrumental in helping Julia elevate her career here in WWE.
01:46And I think it's about time you give a little more credit to Kiana James, who has continually
01:52improved, whether it be alongside Julia, because of Julia, or on her own.
01:56Kiana James is a workhorse.
02:00Corey, 100%, all the matches I've called her for Kiana James, I've been extremely impressed.
02:05She's extremely underrated.
02:06And she's finally getting an opportunity to show off here.
02:27Well, Julia just delivered a missile dropkick to Kiana James, and now finds a bit of an opening
02:32here, perhaps.
02:39And now the slugfest, Kiana James delivering a right hand to the former two-time United States
02:45champion.
02:48Based on the difference in experience between these two women, I would imagine that the
02:52deeper this match goes, the longer it goes, the more it benefits Julia, who's more conditioned
02:56to something like this.
02:58Oh, and Julia's showing up right now.
03:00Oh, my goodness, just uncorked the right elbow on the jaw of Kiana James.
03:06Here comes Julia, who eats a super kick from Kiana.
03:10And now Kiana with that state, who's nobody home as Julia rolls out of harm's way.
03:17And the beautiful madness hit, makes something happen now.
03:27Running shoulder tackle, takes down Kiana James, and a second.
03:30And this is what Kiana had to avoid.
03:32The momentum built here by Julia.
03:36Up and around, we go beautiful head scissor takeover.
03:38And now Julia getting fired up.
03:44Kiana James is really...
03:47Julia has to keep her eye on the ball.
03:49Oh, my God!
03:52Boot right to the face of Kiana.
03:55Oh, Julia, nice back suplex and into the cover now.
03:59Puts the inside leg.
04:00James gets the shoulder up.
04:06Julia can't allow herself to get frustrated at this point.
04:10She should have a pretty good idea of what Kiana James is capable of inside of the ring.
04:15As much time as the two have spent with one another.
04:17Come on, let's go of the hair.
04:18Okay, thank you.
04:21Not sure what Julia was trying to do there, but...
04:23She was trying to scalp Kiana James, Michael Cole, obviously.
04:26Not unless the damage was done as Julia heads up toward the top rope.
04:31Kiana James going to meet her there.
04:34Julia about to have the favor return from the top turnbuckle.
04:38Uh-oh!
04:39It's in the middle of the ring.
04:40I think I've got the power of James.
04:48Muscling up.
04:49Wow!
04:49Falcon arrow by Kiana!
04:51For the win!
04:53Kick at it, too.
04:57It would have to feel great for Kiana James to be able to pick up a win over Julia tonight
05:01to be able to prove,
05:01I never needed you.
05:03I could have done this all on my own.
05:05Doing a pretty good job of that now.
05:12Kiana looking for a scoop slam.
05:14Julia, though, able to counter.
05:20Dan Engler exercising a little leeway from behind.
05:24Schoolboy!
05:25Kick out at two by James.
05:27Julia went for Arriva.
05:29Dirt J blocked by Kiana James.
05:32And now Kiana...
05:33Down!
05:34Goes Julia for the win!
05:37Kick out at two!
05:38Just barely.
05:39She kicked out!
05:41She kicked out!
05:43Kiana getting a bit frustrated now, but...
05:45Very clear.
05:47She kicked out before the three count.
05:48Did you see the look in the eyes of Kiana James?
05:50She looked feral.
05:51She looked out of her mind.
05:52Irate.
05:53She whips Julia into the corner.
05:58Kiana now muscling Julia up across her shoulders and...
06:01Oh, no.
06:02I don't know what James is thinking here.
06:04This is going to be ugly.
06:06Say that again.
06:08Second rope.
06:09Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
06:10Julia, though, able to turn it...
06:12Oh!
06:12Sunset flip bomb!
06:14And now Julia's got a chance.
06:25Arriva Dirt J by Julia.
06:28Got Kiana James positioned.
06:32Yeah!
06:33Oh!
06:34The Northern Lights bomb!
06:36Cover!
06:37One!
06:37Three!
06:38Julia with the win!
06:41Here is your winner, Julia!
06:52That had to feel good for Julia.
06:59Definitely a massive weight off the shoulders of the beautiful Madness.
07:05Able to vanquish Kiana James to the rearview mirror.
07:09This is where it almost all went out for Julia, but she was able to recover.
07:13Powerbomb Kiana nearly through the ring.
07:16Arrivederci!
07:17Right on the money, right on the money, and then the Northern Lights bomb spiking Kiana and picking up the
07:24W for Julia tonight in London.
07:33Uh-oh!
07:34Oh, I did it!
07:35From behind!
07:36Is that?
07:36Yes!
07:37Blank it is!
07:38On a row!
07:39The glamour is here!
07:42Remember, Julia was on her hit list, Corey.

13:31Hear me cry on your toes
13:34Ready for me to start the show
13:37As the curtain lights go up
13:56The American Nightmare all smiles tonight
13:59But tomorrow will be a very different story
14:02As Cody Rhodes defends his undisputed WWE Championship
14:06Against the Ring General Gunther
14:09And Sami Zayn in a triple threat match
14:13At Night of Champion
14:15Hey, no champion's advantage for Cody
14:17Triple threat rolls
14:19You try to tell me what you do
14:23You try to tell me what you do
14:55So, London!
15:05What do you want to talk about?
15:11At Night of Champions, the American Nightmare.
15:19Let's go!
15:25Let's go!
15:32Cody!
15:35Cody!
15:41First of all,
15:45I just want to say thank you
15:49to all my Ride or Die fans here in London
15:54who have supported me since day one.
15:58I love you, I thank you, and I appreciate you.
16:04But, Cody, that's not why I'm out here.
16:08I'm here because I needed to tell you this face-to-face, man-to-man, and for whatever it might
16:15even mean at this point, as a friend.
16:20Okay?
16:25I have to tell you that last week, with me as guest referee, I just, I regret how some of
16:31that went down, okay?
16:33I really do.
16:34Yes, I was provoked, yes, I was pushed to my limit, but at the end of the day, I'm a
16:40good guy.
16:44I am the last real good guy around here, Cody.
16:49So I should have been better, okay?
16:51So I regret, I regret it, I regret the fast count on Gunther, I regret striking the WWE official, and
16:58I especially regret knocking you out cold with that WWE championship.
17:05I'm being serious here, it was a mistake, it was an accident.
17:09Oh, oh!
17:10Was it a mistake?
17:14Yeah, Cody, it was a mistake.
17:17It was a mistake, okay?
17:18But now, we're here.
17:20Here's where we find ourselves.
17:22We're about to wrestle for the WWE championship, and I need you to understand, I need you to know,
17:32this is not how I wanted it, okay?
17:35This is never how I wanted it.
17:37I never wanted to be in the middle of this thing with you and Gunther.
17:41I didn't ask to be guest referee.
17:44You guys asked me, this is not how I wanted it.
17:47Enough!
17:49Enough, Sammy!
17:50This is exactly what you wanted.
17:54Oh gosh, Sammy, you're wrestling for the WWE championship, the richest prize in the game.
18:00In a country that you're beloved in.
18:02You're wrestling in a match against me that I don't even have to be pinned for you to walk home
18:07with this.
18:08For a guy who says he doesn't catch a lot of breaks, things are sure looking up, Sammy.
18:13This whole victim card that you're playing for me, that you're playing for that thing that's just laying down backstage.
18:21That you're playing for all of them.
18:23You're not a victim.
18:24You're not.
18:26Sammy, do you know what you are?
18:32You are exhausting.
18:37You are exhausting.
18:40Every interaction we've had backstage, you've been like a mosquito sucking the blood from me.
18:46What do you expect of me just to keel over and hand you the WWE championship?
18:50That's not how this works.
18:53You know something that I can't wrap my head around?
18:56The fact that you are best friends with Kevin Owens.
19:00Oh no!
19:01Let's go there, right?
19:03That you're best friends with Kevin Owens because there's two main differences I see with you and him.
19:09One, Kevin Owens would have come out here, said what he meant and stabbed me in the front, not the
19:15back.
19:16And the other, at least Kevin Owens has been WWE Champion.
19:31I'm going to say this once and only once.
19:35You keep Kevin Owens name out of your damn mouth!
19:41And you want to go low, Cody? Okay, let's go low.
19:45Let's be clear about something.
19:46If it wasn't for me, Gunther would be WWE Champion right now.
19:52The only reason you are WWE Champion, instead of chastising me, you should be down on your hands and knees
20:01thanking me!
20:04The only reason you are WWE Champion right now is because of me.
20:09And after Night of Champions, the reason you will no longer be WWE Champion will also be because of me.
20:37The ring general making his way to the ring without a microphone in hand, Michael Cole.
20:42I don't think Gunther's in the mood to flap his gums tonight.
20:46He's upset over the fact that this is a triple threat match.
20:50He's upset over the fact that he's not champion.
20:52He's gotten lawyers involved every step of the way.
20:56Seems to be an entitled brat to me.
20:59I hope Gunther hears you say that, Michael Cole.
21:08What is that? What is all the drama here?
21:11Are we friends? Are we not friends?
21:13Was it an accident? Was it not?
21:16I don't care!
21:20All I care about is winning what's rightfully mine and that's hanging over your shoulder, Cody.
21:28Sammy is right about one thing.
21:31If Sammy would not have screwed me, I would be WWE Champion right now.
21:36And you know it!
21:42But Sammy, you're also very wrong about something.
21:47You're wrong when you say you're gonna leave Night of Champions with this title.
21:52Because I will!
21:55Because I will!
21:57And let's be honest with each other here.
21:59As a referee, you caused a lot of damage to me.
22:03But as a wrestler, you're a non-factor to me.
22:08Because let's face it!
22:11You have never been WWE Champion and you never will be!
22:19And as to you, Cody, enjoy your last night as the golden boy.
22:25Because tomorrow, I'm gonna take it all away from you.
22:29And I'm gonna walk into SummerSlam facing the king of the ring.
22:34Not you!
22:41It could be this man!
22:53Main event Jey Uso in the finals of the king of the ring tournament against Obafemi.
22:59And remember, Corey, the winner gets to choose what champion they want to face at SummerSlam.
23:05Jay Utha has been very open about the fact he aspires to challenge Cody for the undisputed WWE Championship to
23:12bring the gold.
23:14Maybe Gunther or maybe Sami Zayn.
23:18Sure, but the fact is that's the championship he wants because it's the championship that Roman does not currently hold.
23:29Oh, it's just me.
23:32Day one, it's just me.
23:35Day one, it's just me.
23:38Day one, it's just me.
23:40Day one, it's just a lot of ball up and knock them down like this.
23:45Ay, ay, you made a bitch, Jay, who's throwing down your feet?
23:50It's just me.
23:52Day one, it's just me.
23:55Day one, it's just me.
23:59Day one, it's just me.
24:18No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
24:21Not on my time.
24:23Who do you think you are?
24:24What do you want, Jay?
24:27What?
