00:00:00to end sooner rather than later and seeing as how at least four of you are in some sort of
00:00:04condition
00:00:05to compete i've booked a tag team match dan hausen and matt cardona versus los gaza and
00:00:11london town that starts right now a great job by our general manager nick aldis
00:00:34you
00:01:26and we're back on a friday night smack that
00:01:29impromptu matchup matt cardona and dan hausen against los garza trying to get money out of
00:01:36dan hausen meanwhile the miz and kit wilson who were electrocuted by dan hausen are out
00:01:40here in a catatonic stake miz is wandering around like a member of the walking dead i think i
00:01:45figured it out why don't you go give miz a flower hopefully he throws you in a link how about
00:01:49you go do an interview with him that would be a extreme oh my god bro ski boot just kicked
00:01:54birdo's features into the front row matt cardona looked like he was going for the rough rider
00:02:00there see what i did there because he got shocked back to long island in that whole electrocution bit
00:02:05did i just catch oh woo something or other well that's what angel's doing
00:02:11and then uh we didn't see it but burdo just took a cheap shot and knocked dan hausen off the
00:02:17apron
00:02:19quality entertainment ladies and gentlemen los garza's against matt cardona and um
00:02:26okay miz that's enough he just keeps wandering around our table
00:02:29and los garza's now in control this is a dangerous situation for cardona and dan hausen well cardona
00:02:35stuck his nose in dan hausen's business as curious as that may be and now cardona is paying the price
00:02:42for trying to be a hero and angel and carto just stomping the heck out of that cardona in the
00:02:47corner
00:02:47i like this i like the ruthless side of angel and burdo reminding the world who they are what
00:02:52they're capable of cardona may rue the day he decided to come out here and help dan hausen
00:03:00not a cheap shot
00:03:06covered by burdo hook of the leg and a kick out
00:03:10miz and kit wilson are like human bumper cars did you ever see stepbrothers when they're sleepwalking
00:03:16yep yeah i'm afraid to wake miz or kit wilson up because it might get even worse i don't think
00:03:20it can
00:03:22tag made and here comes angel sure for the right price dan hausen can do anything
00:03:27that paid him a lot to help the next one and here we go angel and burdo with a double
00:03:33team and
00:03:33los garza's in control
00:03:47oh i can't wilson folks send it to the time club as much as i i want to make fun
00:03:53of this
00:03:53wilson and miz are defenseless they are helpless they have no idea what they're doing somebody's
00:03:58going to get hurt out here oh and it may be angel
00:04:05miz reminds me of one of those action figures where you pull the string on their back and they
00:04:08say one of five cool phrases that's all he's been tagged here's dan hausen making frankenstein
00:04:14references for an hour call welcome to the party inverted atomic drop followed up by the clothesline
00:04:20and dan hausen now showing off in the ring very good you're supposed to say very evil
00:04:28get with the program don't tell me how to live my life
00:04:34dan hausen he's got a gas running a little low on the fuel tank
00:04:43oh nobody home rare miscommunication between los garza german suplex by dan hausen
00:04:51angel what a stop to the back and a kick to cardona
00:05:08angel and burto have their own methods of extracting due payments from people who may
00:05:13have wronged them and oh no oh my god oh ken wilson i think on instinct alone was able to
00:05:19grab the
00:05:19chair from angel oh and rough rider
00:05:27dan hausen from behind oh and a kick out almost had urdo
00:05:33dan hausen knocked down with that kick
00:05:44burto making the long climb to the top
00:05:46burto's close oh my goodness the ring post just blew up
00:05:51burto was cursed by dan hausen you're gonna pay for this dan hausen dan hausen
00:06:01here are your winners the people matt cardona and dan hausen
00:06:12you sure it was dan hausen who electrocuted cardona and not the canning bed
00:06:22let's take a look at the closing moments of his tag team showdown miraculously kit wilson came to
00:06:30at the best possible time i don't think he came to i just think it was instinct
00:06:35either way angel ate a rough rider for his troubles and as burto attempted to gain his footing
00:06:41the curse crash and burn inverted ddt and a very nice very evil victory
00:06:49for dan hausen and matt cardona
00:06:56thinking of cursed in life and only one man to follow that up

00:07:13opportunity for redemption what's your reaction redemption if there's somebody that will need

00:09:57Get your tickets and VIP packages now at Ticketmaster.com.
00:10:01Speaking of Liv Morgan.
00:10:14Well, the women's world champion Liv Morgan still wants more gold.
00:10:19She wants the WWE Women's Championship.
00:10:22But in order to qualify for that opportunity, she must first get past the genius of the sky.
00:10:28Liv Morgan, EO Sky in the finals of Queen of the Ring.
00:10:32And a reminder, the Queen of the Ring and King of the Ring finals will be on ESPN to kick
00:10:38off Night of Champions.
00:10:41Pledge your allegiance to Chelsea Green.
00:10:57The following content is scheduled for one star.
00:11:02Introducing first from Victoria, BC, Chelsea Green.
00:11:10So, Corey, I have to admire Chelsea Green and her persistence.
00:11:16The form of an alliance with the United States champion Tiffany Stratton.
00:11:20But that persistence, well, she's got to face Jade Cargill now.
00:11:25Luckily for Chelsea Green, this isn't a kendo stick battle.
00:11:27This is a wrestling match where Chelsea is highly skilled and extremely comfortable.
00:11:32That said, Miss Green could be in for a rough night because there is a storm headed her way.
00:11:38And Jade Cargill is in a nasty, rotten mood tonight.
00:11:42Yeah, but don't count Chelsea out.
00:11:44One of the two-time United States champion, tag team champion as well.
00:11:48And perhaps that anger will blind Jade Cargill tonight.
00:11:53I won't race it.
00:11:54To the end of the tunnel of chases.
00:11:56And the mortal not got to lose the pace.
00:12:06A storm is coming.
00:12:32And her opponent from Fero Beach, Florida, Jade Cargill.
00:12:41Okay, folks, we are just hours away from Night of Champions, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
00:12:47where Jade Cargill hopes to knock off Tiffany Stratton to win the United States championship.
00:12:52Now, Corey, I want to go back to something I said earlier on today.
00:12:55When I talked about Jade Cargill's strategy, putting DC to beat Fab in a match against Tiffany Stratton.
00:13:00So Tiffany would have to compete tonight, and Jade Cargill would.
00:13:03However, the anger by Cargill could cost her because now she finds herself in a match.
00:13:08Less than 24 hours away from her matchup with Tiffany Stratton.
00:13:12Look in the eyes of Jade Cargill.
00:13:14Look at the strut of Jade Cargill.
00:13:16The storm is ready for battle tonight.
00:13:18And I think this could achieve a level of catharsis for Jade Cargill to clear her mind.
00:13:23Let's take out some of the frustrations I'm feeling tonight on Chelsea Green.
00:13:27That way, all I have to worry about tomorrow is the United States championship in Straton.
00:13:32Well, remember what happened to Stratton.
00:13:33She actually got pinknighted in that tag team matchup.
00:13:36If that happens to Jade Cargill, all bets are wrong.
00:13:38That is potentially true, but the opposite could also hold true.
00:13:43That being Jade Cargill showing a display of dominance at the expense of Chelsea Green,
00:13:48former United States champion.
00:13:50And again, for Chelsea Green, what does she have to do to have a chance against the storm tonight?
00:13:54Chelsea does have the experience advantage.
00:13:57Chelsea knows how to bend the rules.
00:13:58Chelsea knows how to circumvent certain circumstances.
00:14:01That's what she would be best served to lean on tonight.
00:14:04Because she's not going to win the power game against Jade Cargill.
00:14:07And according, we talked about this earlier.
00:14:08The maturation of Jade Cargill over the past year.
00:14:11This is a different Jade Cargill than even the person who won the WWE championship from Tiffany Stratton back late
00:14:17last year.
00:14:18I agree wholeheartedly.
00:14:19I think Jade Cargill is a far more complete superstar than she was last year.
00:14:23And only time will tell.
00:14:25But it seems like she's heating up at the right time.
00:14:27The right time to knock off Tiffany Stratton and claim the United States championship for her own.
00:14:31Well, it's also her time of the year, Corey.
00:14:33Remember, she's the reigning queen of the ring.
00:14:35And there's the power of Jade Cargill.
00:14:38No sweat.
00:14:40Fall away slam to Chelsea Green into a kip up.
00:14:43Jade Cargill is showing off tonight.
00:16:11And while we're talking about the confidence being felt by Jade Cargill, notice she's out here all on her own.
00:16:17No knee chin, no BFAP.
00:16:18Roll up by Chelsea Green for an upset and a kick out by Cargill.
00:16:22That's what Chelsea's got to do.
00:16:25Try to surprise Jade.
00:16:27Try to catch her off guard.
00:16:28Utilize the experience advantage.
00:16:30And stay away.
00:16:31Right.
00:16:32And Cargill, Chelsea just moved out of the way and Cargill went into the corner.
00:16:37Series of right hands from Chelsea Green.
00:16:42Not quite sure how effective they were.
00:16:44Yeah, they didn't seem to have a lot of steam behind them.
00:16:46And now Chelsea into the corner and launched out to the apron by Cargill.
00:16:53Chelsea giving her a fight.
00:16:57I wouldn't be worried about the WWE fans, Chelsea.
00:17:00I'd worry about the storm.
00:17:02Oh, missile drop kick.
00:17:04Can't just neglect the Patriots, Cole.
00:17:06Cover.
00:17:08What?
00:17:09Patriots.
00:17:13How did I not know that?
00:17:14That's a great question.
00:17:16Chelsea Green was...
00:17:17Uh-oh.
00:17:18Looking for the unpretty her.
00:17:20But Jade Cargill turns it around.
00:17:23Went for the pump kick.
00:17:24Chelsea moves out of harm's way.
00:17:26Kick to the face of Cargill by Green.
00:17:30Cargill staggered.
00:17:31Bang!
00:17:31Uh-oh.
00:17:33That one connected right to the heart of Chelsea Green.
00:17:38Good night.
00:17:38Jaded.
00:17:40If that happens to Stratton tomorrow, we're going to have a new United States champ.
00:17:47Here is your winner, Jade Cargill.
00:17:54Tiffany, I hope you're watching.
00:17:57Because the storm is a coming tonight of champions.
00:18:02Look at this.
00:18:02And this is just a message to Stratton and anyone else who dare challenge the storm and her bat.
00:18:08It's Tiffy time.
00:18:11It looks like Tiffany's going to repay the favor from earlier tonight from Chelsea Green.
00:18:17Alexa Bliss alongside the United States champion.
00:18:20Making a beeline for the ring.
00:18:22And Jade Cargill retreats.
00:18:25Cargill's going to get the last laugh tonight.
00:18:35Oh, there they come out.
00:18:36Beef having Meechon back into the mix.
00:18:37And we got a fight underway.
00:18:40The baddies have hit the ring once again.
00:18:42This time, Bliss and Stratton getting the upper hand.
00:18:45And Stratton and Cargill, who at one another tomorrow.
00:18:50And now the numbers game on Stratton.
00:18:53Three on one attack.
00:18:56This is what we assumed was the goal in the tag team match that kicked off tonight.
00:19:01Softened up.
00:19:02Stratton needed.
00:19:03And it may just be a matter of time.
00:19:07A matter of hours.
00:19:08And now the preview of Saturday.
00:19:13Before Jade Cargill once again has gold around her waist.
00:19:21And Byron Chaps is a busy man for once.
00:19:28Indeed, at this time, I'm standing by with Solo Sokoa.
00:19:32And Solo, it's been a rough night for you.
00:19:34Your family left you.
00:19:36LA Knight turned down your offer.
00:19:37And now it truly feels like you're all alone.
00:19:55I know Jacob's coming for you, right?
00:19:59So, you gonna help me?
00:20:01Like how I helped you?
00:20:06Good luck.
00:20:10I'll need luck.
00:20:11Ladies and gentlemen, up next, we will take a look at the Steel Cage match.
00:20:15The culmination of this rivalry with Seth Rollins' front breaker.
00:20:45What's up next?

00:25:16Julia has a score
00:25:17to settle tonight
00:25:18in the O2.
00:25:19It is revenge time
00:25:21for Julia.
00:25:23Go!
00:25:26Go!
00:25:28Go!
00:25:29Go!
00:25:29Go!
00:25:32Go!
00:25:32Go!
00:25:35Go!
00:25:41Go!
00:25:56Welcome everyone
00:26:02We are getting carnage in SummerSlam!
00:26:08I am completely in shock right now!
00:26:31We are in the 0-2 in London, England for Friday Night Smackdown!
00:26:37Which is presented by the new $7 big deal meal from Sonic!
00:26:42Live free, eat Sonic!
00:26:50Meanwhile the beautiful madness Julia looking for some retribution here tonight!
00:27:14And her opponent from Sioux City, Iowa, Kiana James!
00:27:23Corey I want to take everybody back to SmackDown a few weeks ago
00:27:26When we finally saw this dissolution of this alliance that was formed between Kiana James and Julia
00:27:34Kiana James asked and expected Julia to help her win her Queen of the Ring Fatal 4-Way Qualifier
00:27:42But let's just say it backfired in terrible fashion!
00:27:47A little miscommunication would lead Kiana to take out her frustrations on Julia who was trying to help!
00:27:54Yeah Kiana did not see it that way!
00:27:57Suffered a Tejana bomb for her troubles!
00:28:00And afterwards the powder keg would explode!
00:28:05What was once a mutually beneficial relationship went up in flames!
00:28:10As Julia had enough!
00:28:12And put her hands on her former business associate!
00:28:20Referee Dan Engler rings the bell!
00:28:22And we're underway now!
00:28:23Julia Kiana James was wasting a little time!
00:28:25As Kiana James made a kick now to Julia!
00:28:27Remember James with a high business acumen, she used that as the manager of Julia
00:28:32to get Julia a number of opportunities including a couple of United States Championship runs!
00:28:36And in return, Julia helped Kiana James step up her in-ring skill set!
00:28:40These two spent a lot of time training together, doing a lot of business deals together!
00:28:44Again, it was a mutually beneficial relationship!
00:28:47Well, the more I looked into it, I believe that Kiana James was jealous of what Julia was accomplishing!
00:28:54Kiana James saying that she didn't really get a lot of opportunities, or as many opportunities as Julia did!
00:29:04Julia blocked!
00:29:06Now, James bounced off the apron!
00:29:12Kiana James gonna hold the power advantage in this matchup!
00:29:15A tremendous athlete in her own right, but when it comes to experience and depth of skill set,
00:29:21you gotta give the nod to Julia, a world-traveled veteran prior to arriving in WWE!
00:29:25Kiana, tremendous athlete, six All-American gymnast titles in her career!
00:29:31Oh, she's a former NXT Tag Team Champion!
00:29:36Now, Julia with those well-placed strikes to the spine!
00:29:40Julia's got that mix, Corey, that Japanese strong style, and she can brawl as well!
00:29:46Very well-versed in submission skills, striking ability!
00:29:51Oh, and a nice standing drop kick by Julia!
00:29:54Cover now!
00:29:55Hook of the leg on James, who kicks out!
00:29:58There was a bit of a learning curve for Julia.
00:30:00It took her a while to really get her feet under her here in WWE.
00:30:04She dominated NXT, made it to Raw and SmackDown, and struggled for a bit.
00:30:08But now it seems as though Julia has remembered who she is, what she's capable of,
00:30:12and wants to show the world tonight at the expense of Kiana James.
00:30:15That headbutt just drove Kiana James out of the ring, and now Julia.
00:30:21Kiana James moves out of harm's way, and now James,
00:30:24there's the power you were talking about, Corey.
00:30:26First off the steps.
00:30:27Back in the ring, let's go, come on, get it back, come on.
00:30:31Julia may be out.
00:30:33Kiana James has taken over.
00:30:48If you're Kiana James, do you take a count out victory?
00:30:51Absolutely.
00:30:52You take the payday, you take the winner's purse, and you move on to whatever's next.
00:30:56Come on!
00:30:57And Kiana dragging Julia back into the ring.
00:31:00There's that aggressive, vicious side that we've seen from Kiana James.
00:31:05And remember, while Kiana James may have incited it, she said some unkind things to Julia.
00:31:10It was Julia who put her hands first on her business partner.
00:31:14Oh, however you look at it, this relationship has blown up,
00:31:17much like we saw between Hailey and Lyra Valkyria this past Monday on Raw.
00:31:22Must be something in the water here in London.
00:31:24Well, I think when you have trouble winning, it causes alliances to be broken.
00:31:30And now James into the cover, hooks the leg, and Julia kicks out at two.
00:31:35Yeah, and we heard for months that the nature of the business relationship between
00:31:39Kiana James and Julia was mutually beneficial, until one side decided it was no longer beneficial.
00:31:45So why stay?
00:31:46Well, Corey, you and I have followed Kiana James' career for a number of years, right?
00:31:50The one thing we've always learned about her is she is deceitful.
00:31:54She's untrustworthy.
00:31:56Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:31:57Don't put words in my mouth, Cole.
00:31:59I happen to think Kiana James is a brilliant businesswoman, a shark even.
00:32:02She should be learned from.
00:32:04I'm not saying she's not a great businesswoman.
00:32:07You just call her a liar.
00:32:08I said she was untrustworthy.
00:32:10Get out of there.
00:32:13How many great businessmen do you know that aren't trustworthy, Michael Cole?
00:32:18None.
00:32:22Kiana James dragging Julia back up.
00:32:25Big right hand.
00:32:26But again, I mean, in Julia's defense, she put all her trust into Kiana James.
00:32:30What did she get for it?
00:32:35Go ahead.
00:32:36You were asking me a question.
00:32:37I thought it was rhetorical.
00:32:38No, not at all.
00:32:38I didn't think you actually expected me to justify your nonsensical journalistic imitation.
00:32:44I don't ask rhetorical questions.
00:32:45Okay.
00:32:46I'm a journalist.
00:32:47I'll tell you what Julia got.
00:32:49Julia became a household name around the world as a WWE superstar alongside Kiana James.
00:32:55I will give you that.
00:32:56Kiana was instrumental in helping Julia elevate her career here in WWE.
00:33:06Julia trying to fight back.
00:33:11And I think it's about time you give a little more credit to Kiana James,
00:33:16who has continually improved, whether it be alongside Julia because of Julia or on her own.
00:33:21Kiana James is a workhorse.
00:33:25Corey, 100%, all the matches I've called her for Kiana James, I've been extremely impressed.
00:33:30She's extremely underrated.
00:33:31She's finally getting an opportunity to show off here.
00:33:52Well, Julia just delivered a missile dropkick to Kiana James and now finds a bit of an opening here, perhaps.
00:34:04And now the slugfest, Kiana James delivering a right hand to the former two-time United States champion.
00:34:13And based on the difference in experience between these two women, I would imagine that the deeper this match goes,
00:34:18the longer it goes, the more it benefits Julia, who's more conditioned to something like this.
00:34:23Julia showing up right now.
00:34:26Oh, my goodness, just uncorked the right elbow on the jaw of Kiana James.
00:34:31Here comes Julia, who eats a super kick from Kiana.
00:34:35And now Kiana with that statement, moves all nobody home as Julia rolls out of harm's way.
00:34:43And the beautiful madness hit makes something happen now.
00:34:52Running shoulder tackle takes down Kiana James in a second.
00:34:55And this is what Kiana had to avoid.
00:34:57The momentum built here by Julia.
00:35:01Up and around we go.
00:35:02Beautiful head scissors takeover.
00:35:03And now Julia getting fired up.
00:35:09Kiana James is really...
00:35:12Julia has to keep her eye on the ball.
00:35:15My God.
00:35:17Boot right to the face of Kiana.
00:35:21Oh, Julia, nice back suplex and into the cover now.
00:35:24Puts the inside leg.
00:35:26James gets the shoulder up.
00:35:31Julia can't allow herself to get frustrated at this point.
00:35:35She should have a pretty good idea of what Kiana James is capable of inside of the ring.
00:35:40As much time as the two have spent with one another.
00:35:42Come on, that's your hair, Julia.
00:35:43Let go of the hair.
00:35:44Okay, thank you.
00:35:46Not sure what Julia was trying to do there, but...
00:35:49She was trying to scalp Kiana James, Michael Cole, obviously.
00:35:52Nonetheless, the damage was done as Julia heads up toward the top rope.
00:35:56Kiana James gonna meet her there.
00:35:58Now Julia about to have the favor return from the top turnbuckle.
00:36:03Uh-oh!
00:36:04Into the middle of the ring again the power of James.
00:36:12Yeah!
00:36:13Muscling up.
00:36:14Julia!
00:36:14Falcon arrow by Kiana!
00:36:16For the win!
00:36:18Kick out at two.
00:36:19One, two!
00:36:22It would have to feel great for Kiana James to be able to pick up a win over Julia tonight.
00:36:26To be able to prove, I never needed you.
00:36:28I could have done this all on my own.
00:36:31Doing a pretty good job of that now.
00:36:37Kiana looking for a scoop slam.
00:36:40Julia, though, able to counter.
00:36:45Dan Engler exercising a little leeway.
00:36:49From behind!
00:36:49Schoolboy!
00:36:50Kick out at two by James.
00:36:53Julia went for Arriva.
00:36:54Dirt J blocked by Kiana James.
00:36:56And now Kiana!
00:36:58Down!
00:36:59Goes!
00:37:00Julia!
00:37:01For the win!
00:37:02Kick out at two!
00:37:03Just barely.
00:37:05She kicked out!
00:37:06She kicked out!
00:37:07She kicked out!
00:37:08Kiana getting a bit frustrated now, but very clear.
00:37:12She kicked out before the three count.
00:37:13Did you see the look in the eyes of Kiana James?
00:37:15She looked feral.
00:37:16She looked out of her mind.
00:37:17Irate.
00:37:18She whips Julia into the corner.
00:37:23Kiana now muscling Julia up across her shoulders.
00:37:26Oh, no.
00:37:27I don't know what James is thinking here.
00:37:29This is going to be ugly.
00:37:32Say that again.
00:37:33Second rope.
00:37:34Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
00:37:35Julia, though, able to turn the...
00:37:37Oh!
00:37:37A sunset flip bomb!
00:37:40And now Julia's got a chance.
00:37:50A rima d'arche by Julia.
00:37:54Got Kiana James positioned.
00:37:57Yeah!
00:37:58Oh!
00:37:59The Northern Lights bomb!
00:38:01Cover!
00:38:02One, two, three!
00:38:03Julia with the win!
00:38:06Here is your winner!
00:38:09Julia!
00:38:17That had to feel good for Julia.
00:38:24Definitely a massive weight off the shoulders of the beautiful madness.
00:38:30Able to vanquish Kiana James to the rearview mirror.
00:38:34This is where it almost all went out for Julia, but she was able to recover.
00:38:39Powerbomb Kiana nearly through the ring.
00:38:42Arrivederci!
00:38:43Right on the money.
00:38:44And then the Northern Lights bomb spiking Kiana and picking up the W.
00:38:50For Julia tonight in London.
00:38:58Uh-oh!
00:39:00Oh, I ran it from behind!
00:39:01Is that...
00:39:02Yes!
00:39:02Blanked it out!
00:39:03On a row!
00:39:04The glamour is here!
00:39:07Remember, Julia was on her hit list, Corey.
00:39:12And Friday night SmackDown just got a lot more glamorous.
00:39:18Julia!
00:39:22Gotch style.
00:39:25Driver in the center of the ring.
00:39:28Welcome to Friday night, Blake Monroe.
00:39:32Blake Monroe arriving in glamorous style.
00:39:37As she ambushes Julia here tonight.
00:39:41Relax, Cole.
00:39:42Are you blushing over there?
00:39:44Maybe a little bit.
00:39:47Blake.
00:39:51He is the undisputed WWE Champion.
00:39:54Cody Rhodes heads into a triple threat match at Night of Champions and Hours.
00:39:59He's heading out here.
00:40:00We'll see the Nightman next.
00:40:02we're the besturai match.
00:40:04As I jump in.
00:40:07I've come here one, I'm going home.
00:40:08Who can't bırak, we ain't stoppin!
00:40:13We'll be aìˆ .
00:40:15They will be a install now.
00:40:22We'll be all the merch whatever of my birthdaycoll arrive on YouTube.
00:46:46So...
00:47:00Cody...
00:48:31I'm being serious here.
00:48:32It was a mistake.
00:48:36Was it a mistake?
00:48:39Yeah, Cody, it was a mistake, it was a mistake, okay?
00:48:43But now we're here, here's where we find ourselves.
00:48:47We're about to wrestle for the WWE Championship.
00:48:51And I need you to understand, I need you to know,
00:48:57this is not how I wanted it, okay?
00:49:00This is never how I wanted it.
00:49:02I never wanted to be in the middle of this thing
00:49:05with you and Gunther.
00:49:06I didn't ask to be guest referee.
00:49:09You guys asked me, this is not how I wanted it.
00:49:12Enough!
00:49:14Enough, Sammy!
00:49:16This is exactly what you wanted.
00:49:19Oh gosh, Sammy, you're wrestling for the WWE Championship,
00:49:23the richest prize in the game,
00:49:25in a country that you're beloved in?
00:49:27You're wrestling in a match against me
00:49:29that I don't even have to be pinned
00:49:31for you to walk home with this?
00:49:33For a guy who says he doesn't catch a lot of breaks,
00:49:36things are sure looking up, Sammy.
00:49:38This whole victim card that you're playing for me,
00:49:42that you're playing for that thing
00:49:44that's just laying down backstage,
00:49:46that you're playing for all of them,
00:49:48you're not a victim.
00:49:50You're not!
00:49:51Sammy, do you know what you are?
00:49:58You are exhausting.
00:50:02You are exhausting.
00:50:05Every interaction we've had backstage,
00:50:08you've been like a mosquito sucking the blood from me.
00:50:11What, are you expecting me just to keel over
00:50:13and hand you the WWE Championship?
00:50:15That's not how this works.
00:50:18You know something that I can't wrap my head around?
00:50:21The fact that you are best friends with Kevin Owens.
00:50:25Oh no!
00:50:27Let's go there, right?
00:50:28That you're best friends with Kevin Owens,
00:50:30because there's two main differences I see with you and him.
00:50:34One, Kevin Owens would have come out here,
00:50:37said what he meant, and stabbed me in the front, not the back.
00:50:41And the other, at least Kevin Owens has been WWE Champion.
00:50:56I'm going to say this once, and only once.
00:51:00You keep Kevin Owens' name out of your damn mouth!
00:51:06And you want to go low, Cody?
00:51:08I'll be okay, let's go low, let's be clear about something.
00:51:11If it wasn't for me, Gunther would be WWE Champion right now.
00:51:18The only reason you are WWE Champion,
00:51:21instead of chastising me, you should be down on your hands and knees thanking me.
00:51:30The only reason you are WWE Champion right now is because of me.
00:51:34And after Night of Champions, the reason you will no longer be WWE Champion,
00:51:40will also be because of me.
00:52:02The ring general making his way to the ring without a microphone in hand.
00:52:07Michael Cole, I don't think Gunther's in the mood to flap his gums tonight.
00:52:12He's upset over the fact that this is a triple threat match.
00:52:15He's upset over the fact that he's not champion.
00:52:17He's gotten lawyers involved every step of the way.
00:52:21Seems to be an entitled brat to me.
00:52:25I hope Gunther hears you say that, Michael Cole.
00:52:33What is that?
00:52:34What is all the drama here?
00:52:37Are we friends?
00:52:38Are we not friends?
00:52:39Was it an accident?
00:52:40Was it not?
00:52:42I.
00:52:42Don't.
00:52:43Care.
00:52:44Care.
00:52:45All I care about is winning what's rightfully mine and that's hanging over your shoulder, Cody.
00:52:54Sammy is right about one thing.
00:52:55If Sammy would not have screwed me, I would be WWE Champion right now and you know it.
00:53:07But Sammy, you're also very wrong about something.
00:53:12You're wrong when you say you're gonna leave Night of Champions with this title because I will.
00:53:22And let's be honest with each other here.
00:53:24As a referee, you caused a lot of damage to me.
00:53:28But as a wrestler, you're a non-factor to me.
00:53:34Because let's face it, you have never been WWE Champion and you never will be.
00:53:44And as to you, Cody, enjoy your last night as the golden boy.
00:53:51Because tomorrow, I'm gonna take it all away from you.
00:53:54And I'm gonna walk into SummerSlam facing the king of the ring.
00:54:00Not you.
00:54:06It could be this man.
00:54:18Main event Jey Uso in the finals of the king of the ring tournament against Obafemi.
00:54:25And remember, Corey, the winner gets to choose what champion they want to face at SummerSlam.
00:54:31Well, Jey Uso has been very open about the fact he aspires to challenge Cody for the undisputed WWE Championship
00:54:37to bring the gold.
00:54:39Well, maybe Gunther.
00:54:40Or maybe Sammy Zane.
00:54:43Sure.
00:54:44But the fact is that's the championship he wants because it's the championship that Roman does not currently hold.
00:54:50Okay.
00:54:50I'm about to get a move.
00:54:52I'm about to get him on.
00:54:54Let's go!
00:54:55It's just me!
00:54:58Day one!
00:54:59It's just me!
00:55:00Day one!
00:55:02It's just me!
00:55:04Day one!
00:55:05It's just me!
00:55:05It's just, let him up and knock him down like this!
00:55:11Ay, ay!
00:55:15It's just me
00:55:16Okay, day one
00:55:18It's just me
00:55:42Run it back
00:55:43Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:55:46None of my time

00:55:50What do you want, Jay?
00:55:52What?
00:55:54Don't nobody like yeeting with you anyway, Gunther
00:55:58Yeet
00:55:59Hey, we're gonna keep it short and sweet, though
00:56:01Yeah, tomorrow night
00:56:03Saturday, Oost
00:56:04I punch my ticket to SummerSlam
00:56:06When I become king of the ring
00:56:10Yeet
00:56:10Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:56:11So, Cody, look, though
00:56:12You say you easy to find, Oost
00:56:14I'ma pull up on you at SummerSlam
00:56:16That's your warning shot
00:56:17Bah!
00:56:18Hey, Sami Zayn
00:56:19You my dog
00:56:20But if you get it
00:56:21That mean I gotta get you, too
00:56:22That's your warning shot
00:56:23Bah!
00:56:27And, Gunther
00:56:29I almost wanted to be you
00:56:32Yeah
00:56:33You gets no warning shot, Gunther
00:56:35Cause I'ma do you
00:56:37Just like I did you at WrestleMania
00:56:39For the World Heavyweight Championship
00:56:41And tap your ass out
00:56:44Like a little bitch
00:56:45Oh, and Gunther hurt it out
