00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:31The following contest is a Triple Threat match for the undisputed WWE Championship!
00:00:40The champion, Zayn and Gunther the challengers, Triple Threat rules tonight.
00:00:47What an atmosphere in here!
00:00:51Cody to retain!
00:00:53And these two men, who watch the closest of friends, now fighting it for the biggest prize in the business.
00:01:00Zayn wants a package pile driver!
00:01:06This is Gunther's moment!
00:01:11But Zayn would not let Cody's arm fall!
00:01:17Zayn's got a chance!
00:01:18Zayn!
00:01:22Crossroads!
00:01:23And Cody, is he gonna look for one more on Sammy?
00:01:29Zayn!
00:01:30Zayn!
00:01:31Zayn!
00:01:32Zayn!
00:01:33Zayn!
00:01:34Zayn!
00:01:42Zayn!
00:01:47Zayn!
00:01:49Zayn!
00:01:50Zayn!
00:01:50Zayn!
00:01:51Zayn!
00:01:52Zayn!
00:01:52Zayn!
00:01:53Zayn!
00:01:55Zayn!
00:01:59Zayn!
00:02:01Zayn!
00:02:04Zayn!
00:02:09Zayn!
00:02:10Zayn!
00:02:10Zayn!
00:02:11Zayn!
00:02:12Zayn!
00:02:12Zayn!
00:02:19Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the new, undisputed, WWE Champion, Sami Zayn!
00:02:48Ladies and gentlemen, you saw it just moments ago, the miracle that this past Saturday,
00:02:54that night of champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on his tenth try, after a quarter of a century
00:03:01in the business, Sami Zayn wins his first WWE Championship.
00:03:07The culmination of a lifelong dream before our very eyes in Riyadh.
00:03:15A moment that will never be forgotten, especially for Sami Zayn.
00:03:38Sami admitted himself.
00:03:40He never thought it would happen.
00:03:45And he finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
00:03:48He never thought so.
00:04:21It seems to me like a lot of folks out here tonight came to ride or die with the last
00:04:33real good guy.
00:04:43And I just want to say before I even get started, the overwhelming reaction, the love that I've gotten over
00:04:49the last few days since winning this.
00:04:51It's really touched me from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. I mean that. Thank you.
00:05:03But the whole thing is really kind of funny considering for the past six months I've come out here and
00:05:09I've been booed out of the building every single time.
00:05:17And it's funny because the people booing were the same people who three years ago were dying to see Sami
00:05:23Zayn as the WWE champion.
00:05:27But then they decided, oh, this guy's never going to do it. They jumped off the bandwagon. They turned their
00:05:34backs on me.
00:05:35They wanted to boo me. But now I have this. So I could be petty if I wanted to.
00:05:41I could be petty and tell every single one of those people who turned their backs on me to kiss
00:05:48my ass.
00:05:55But I won't. But I won't. But I won't. And you want to know why? Because I am a good
00:06:05guy.
00:06:08And that is the same reason why I'm holding this. Because I never changed.
00:06:15Everyone told me, if you want to win, you have to be a bit more selfish. You need to be
00:06:20a bit more cutthroat.
00:06:21You need to do some things you don't want to do. And I didn't.
00:06:26I won this the way I always said I would win it. I did it my way. I did it
00:06:32the right way.
00:06:39And I could be petty. Trust me, I could be petty.
00:06:42And I could tell every single one of those people that said, oh, he's not championship material.
00:06:48He'll never win the big one. I could very easily tell each and every single one of them to kiss
00:06:56my ass.
00:07:04But I won't. I won't. Because this is a celebration, people.
00:07:12Huh? Am I right? Am I right?
00:07:20And you know what it is we're celebrating here tonight?
00:07:34You're damn right, Sammy. We are celebrating me.
00:07:40We are celebrating the new WWE Champion.
00:07:45We are celebrating the end of the debate once and for all.
00:07:49I forever go down now as one of the all-time greats.
00:07:53I will forever be known now as Sami Zayn, WrestleMania Main Eventer, Grand Slam Champion.
00:08:08Until the day I die and beyond, I will forever be known as a WWE Champion.
00:08:17And no amount of booing, no amount of hate, no amount of noise will ever, ever take that away from
00:08:25me.
00:08:30Wrestling has more than one, the Royal Family.
00:08:36I will never forget the new Lens of Cosmo.
00:08:50Addressing in her soul.
00:08:52Every spot out of control.
00:08:55Do it all.
00:08:57Get them off the beat.
00:09:19Well, the man who was the WWE champion.
00:09:26Cody Rhodes, pinned by Sami Zayn in the triple threat match this past Saturday night.
00:09:33As for Sami Zayn, Corey Graves, not quite the celebratory speech that I was expecting from the champion.
00:09:42Sami Zayn has more than earned the right to air his grievances.
00:09:46He is now the kingpin here on SmackDown.
00:09:49And I gotta be perfectly honest, seeing Cody make the walk to the ring without the gold around his waist
00:09:56feels a little uncomfortable.
00:10:50Oh, Sammy, Cody, so, um,
00:11:02what do you want to talk about?
00:11:09It's very simple.
00:11:10You said something I had forgotten.
00:11:12You reminded me of it.
00:11:13When I won that WWE championship,
00:11:17you were the very first to come into the ring and celebrate with me.
00:11:22So I didn't want to wait in line.
00:11:25I wanted to be the first here, as you put it,
00:11:28during this celebration to tell you
00:11:32congratulations, champ.
00:11:58Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:12:00What, that's it?
00:12:01Hey, hey, hey.
00:12:03Come back here.
00:12:07Come back here a sec, Cody.
00:12:08Come on, let's not do this, okay?
00:12:10Let's not play this game.
00:12:12For once in your soul, just drop the act for a second, okay?
00:12:16Drop the American Nightmare.
00:12:18Drop the Golden Boy and just be Cody for one second.
00:12:21We both know that's not the only reason you came out here.
00:12:25I have something that you once had.
00:12:29Now it's mine.
00:12:32It's something I know you want.
00:12:35It's something I know you are addicted to.
00:12:39So just be honest with me.
00:12:40For once in your life, Cody.
00:12:42No, no, no.
00:12:43Forget the games.
00:12:44Just come right out and say it.
00:12:45Tell me why you're really out here.
00:13:00We found out Monday night exactly why main event Jey Uso is here on SmackDown.
00:13:07He had marching orders from Roman Reigns during the King of the Ring Tournament to win and go on to
00:13:14take the WWE Championship so the bloodline could have all the gold.
00:13:18That didn't happen.
00:13:19Now that Sami Zayn's champion, Jey Uso said he was going to show up here tonight.
00:13:24Tell Sami he wanted a shot at the title.
00:13:27Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:30This is all down now, woo.
00:13:32Uh-huh.
00:13:33Okay.
00:13:34Yeah.
00:13:34Okay.
00:13:35Yeah.
00:13:36Hey, let's get it.
00:13:37Hey, I'm about to get it.
00:13:42Cody, what up?
00:13:43Come on, dawg.
00:13:47Come on.
00:13:55Hey.
00:14:06I'm not going to run it back.
00:14:09Because it's about my dog Sami Zayn right now.
00:14:12I'm so proud of you, Uso.
00:14:15Man, you earned that.
00:14:17You deserve that.
00:14:25But, you know why I'm here, Uso.
00:14:30Bloodline business.
00:14:33Sami, this your warning shot.
00:14:38I need to bring that gold back to the family.
00:14:44The family?
00:14:46The family?
00:14:47What year is this?
00:14:49The family?
00:14:51Do we not know who each other are?
00:14:53I mean, it's him who's standing here, WWE champion.
00:14:56And since those days, correct me if I'm wrong, you've been world heavyweight champion.
00:15:01So at what point did my friend, Jey Uso, revert to just running errands for the tribal chief?
00:15:11And besides, we were just talking about my rematch.
00:15:18Oh, were we?
00:15:19Okay.
00:15:20I'm going to put a stop to this right now.
00:15:22We're not doing this, okay?
00:15:24Jey, no one was happier for you than me.
00:15:27When you won the world championship, I laid back.
00:15:30And Cody, despite what you might think, I never came for you.
00:15:33I never stabbed you in the back.
00:15:35I never gunned for your title.
00:15:36You had your chance.
00:15:38You had your chance.
00:15:39Now it is my time to be WWE champion.
00:15:47What was it that you told me, Cody?
00:15:49As long as I have this, you never will.
00:15:53Well, now it's mine.
00:15:56And Jey, what did you say?
00:15:58You said the WWE championship needs to come back to the family.
00:16:01As far as I'm concerned, it's still in the family.
00:16:08And it's going to stay on my shoulders.
00:16:11No one's touching this.
00:16:12You understand?
00:16:13No one is touching this.
00:16:17So I say this as a friend.
00:16:19I say this as family.
00:16:21Both of you, stay away from me.
00:16:30Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:16:31Sammy, Sammy, actually, hold on, Sammy, if you don't mind.
00:16:37Now, I know you're aware all this isn't here.
00:16:39You know, he got sent home after his little dust up with Gunther, which means for the first
00:16:43time in a very long time, and it feels pretty damn good.
00:16:46I am the acting general manager of SmackDown, which is big for you, Sammy, because that means my first
00:16:55order of business is to find you a challenger.
00:17:01With respect, Adam, don't I, as champion, have a little bit of say of who I face at SummerSlam?
00:17:15With respect, Sammy, who said anything about SummerSlam?
00:17:21Look, I get it.
00:17:22If Aldis could bother to show up and do his job, he'd probably give you exactly what you want,
00:17:27but Nick's not here.
00:17:28I am, so we do it my way.
00:17:31And that means you will defend that undisputed WWE championship this Monday on Raw.
00:17:41But it gets better, Sammy.
00:17:43Like I said, you're going to have a challenger, and we're going to have a number one contender
00:17:49after Jay Uso battles Cody Rhodes tonight in Atlantic City.
00:18:03A high-stakes matchup tonight in our main event.
00:18:07Cody and Jay to battle it out to earn a chance at the championship.
00:18:13You heard what Adam Pearce had to say.
00:18:14Nick Aldis is home pending an investigation after he ran into Gunther,
00:18:19this past weekend.
00:18:20More on that story a bit later on.
00:18:22Hey, everybody.
00:18:22Michael Cole, Corey Graves filling in with Joe Testatore and Wade Barrett tonight.
00:18:26But what a main event we have on tap.
00:18:28No doubt someone will earn the right to head to Monday Night Raw this coming week in Chicago
00:18:33and challenge Sami Zayn for the undisputed WWE championship.
00:18:36Will it be Jay Uso?
00:18:38Will it be Cody Rhodes?
00:18:39We'll find out.
00:18:40Also here tonight, ladies and gentlemen, our broadcast colleague in the back, Kathy Kelly.
00:18:47Thanks so much, guys.
00:18:48Yeah, massive main event coming up tonight on SmackDown.
00:18:52And speaking of developments coming out of Night of Champions, I'm here with Charlotte Flair.
00:18:56Charlotte, I was hoping you could set the record straight.
00:18:59Why did you interfere in Jade Cargo's match for that Women's United States Championship?
00:19:06Kathy, Jade got what she deserved.
00:19:09She ruined my opportunity, so I ruined hers.
00:19:12And I'm going to keep teaching her lessons until she gets the damn picture.
00:19:20Sorry, Kathy.
00:19:23I didn't know you were going to be at Night of Champions.
00:19:26Lister, you know I'm impulsive.
00:19:29I mean, she injured you.
00:19:30She attacked me.
00:19:31Enough is enough.
00:19:33I get that.
00:19:34But I still wish you told me.
00:19:36I mean, I'm sitting at home watching you pop up on the screen.
00:19:38I mean, you looked great, but still, a heads up would have been nice.
00:19:42Lexi, it wasn't personal.
00:19:45And last week, when I was at home, icing my knees, sitting with my mom and her dog,
00:19:49I saw you on the screen with Tiffany.
00:19:53Look, we both know that I'm stubborn enough to team up with Tiffany for you.
00:20:01I never needed your help.
00:20:05But thanks.
00:20:07I am.
00:20:08There you are!
00:20:12Jade should be very worried about us.
00:20:15Am I right?
00:20:16Am I right?
00:20:19You're welcome.
00:20:21Ladies, I will see you out there.
00:20:24Yeah?
00:20:25Yeah, well, not before we see you out there.
00:20:29Right?
00:20:30Right?
00:20:30We'll see you out there because we will be out there.
00:20:35I got it.
00:20:37Yes.
00:20:41What could possibly go wrong?
00:20:46The lock is a horrible.
00:20:50You got me back.
00:20:53All hail the queen.
00:21:16The Broadway is a six-woman tag team match scheduled for one ball.
00:21:23Introducing first from the Queen City, Charlotte Flair.
00:21:32Well, the 14-time world champion Charlotte Flair teams up with Tiffany Stratton and
00:21:37Chelsea Green against Jade Cargill and her minions.
00:21:41Maddie Cole, Maddie, next.
00:21:51And their tag team partner, she is the women's United States champion, Tiffany Stratton.
00:22:02Well, Tiffany and Chelsea seem to get along now, but I'm not sure if Charlotte Flair has
00:22:06brought into this Chelsea Green experience.
00:22:09I've said it for a long, long time.
00:22:12Charlotte Flair works best on her own.
00:22:15Can she coexist?
00:22:16Will she be able to get past this challenge?
00:22:19That remains to be seen.
00:22:22A storm is coming.
00:22:47And to the opponents, the team of Meechie, B-Fan, and Shane Cargill.
00:22:57These three have not been kind to Charlotte Flair.
00:23:00Let's take you back to two weeks ago.
00:23:02Charlotte, before her semi-final matchup in the Queen of the Ring with Liv Morgan.
00:23:06Backstage, Cargill, Meechie, B-Fan would lay a beat down on the Queen, Charlotte Flair.
00:23:14Yeah, but this past Saturday, Charlotte Flair got a bit of retribution when she cost Jade
00:23:20Cargill an opportunity to knock off Tiffany Stratton to the United States Championship.
00:23:25Six-woman tag team matchup, Charlotte, Tiffany, and Chelsea against B-Fan, Meechie, and Jade
00:23:30Cargill.
00:23:31That team, Jade Cargill and company, actually knocked off the team of Charlotte.
00:23:36And Alexa and Rhea Ripley back at Saturday night's main event in May.
00:23:41Sorry, I was thrown off by Chelsea and Tippy trying to do their best to Sophie Cunningham
00:23:44to incite some sort of angst before this matchup.
00:23:47And here we go.
00:23:48The United States champion, Tiffany Stratton, squaring off against the woman she beat at
00:23:52Night of Champions.
00:23:53Jade Cargill in this matchup.
00:23:54Again, ladies and gentlemen, thanks for spending your holiday weekend with us here tonight
00:23:59on Friday night's SmackDown.
00:24:01Tiffany Stratton driving Jade toward the corner.
00:24:03And a tag made, and here comes Meechie.
00:24:05We know Jade Cargill in a very, very bad mood as a result of Night of Champions.
00:24:11Cargill and company look to take out their frustrations on Stratton and her teammates.
00:24:18Tiffany looking for the Alabama slam.
00:24:19Meechie turns him around, pinning combination, and a kick out.
00:24:29Meechie has taken over.
00:24:30She's picking up a lot of the traits that Jade Cargill has.
00:24:33I was just about to say, the alliance formed between Meechie, B-Fab, and Jade Cargill has
00:24:37certainly done wonders for the careers of B-Fab and Meechie.
00:24:41They say the rising tide raises all ships.
00:24:44That's what we're seeing right in front of us.
00:24:46Covered by B-Fab.
00:24:47Off the double team, and a hook to the leg, and a kick out by Stratton.
00:24:51B-Fab has grown leaps and bounds since joining forces with the Storm, Jade Cargill.
00:24:58Stratton will land on her feet.
00:25:00Backs up into the corner.
00:25:01Tag was made, and the Queen Charlotte Flair is now legal.
00:25:05Charlotte, Charlotte's a flip-team-time world champion for the club's body.
00:25:10Blair with a boot to Cargill.
00:25:13Now a right hand to Meechie.
00:25:16And B-Fab into the corner.
00:25:19Backs up into Charlotte.
00:25:20Charlotte catches it with a kick.
00:25:23He's found right under the chin.
00:25:26Oh!
00:25:27And Charlotte.
00:25:30A little tip up.
00:25:32One moment wrecking bull right now.
00:25:35Taking off all three opponents.
00:25:40A shot-study.
00:25:42B-Fab driving her to the corner.
00:25:49Irish Whip by B-Fab.
00:25:51Come on!
00:25:54Charlotte with a boot to the face.
00:25:58Cannonball, Sue Leachin!
00:25:59Come on!
00:26:01You forgot one, Charlotte.
00:26:04Jade Cargill, lying in wake, delivers a clothesline.
00:26:07Get that!
00:26:08Money!
00:26:14And before the commercial break, Jade Cargill turned the entire complexion of this match around.
00:26:21She took out Charlotte Flair at ringside, and now it's been a three-on-one beatdown.
00:26:27What a way to rebound if you're Jade Cargill after a disappointing night of champions to come in here and
00:26:32pick up a win, or at least a dominant showing against Charlotte Flair.
00:26:37That'll raise your stock to an all-time eye on her.
00:26:41All the way slammed by a stand-cargo.
00:26:44He is now mocking Charlotte Flair.
00:26:49I didn't see the mockery.
00:26:50I thought Jade did a fantastic job.
00:26:52And a shot!
00:26:53Goes out of harm's way.
00:26:54Jade Cargill faces first off the turnbuckle.
00:26:56Tag will be made to B-Fab.
00:26:57Charlotte trying to make it to the corner and make a tag to her team.
00:27:01Like the urgency being shown by B-Fab.
00:27:05Knowing how important it is to prevent Charlotte from making this tag.
00:27:08It could be the tie turner her team wants.
00:27:10Charlotte at arm's length away, trying to get to Chelsea.
00:27:17D-rate to the midsection by B-Fab.
00:27:19Hard move.
00:27:20The cheap shot now to scrap.
00:27:22And that's what the alliance with Jade Cargill is on B-Fab and Meech and how to be relentless.
00:27:27How to look out for yourself.
00:27:28Say to hell with everyone else.
00:27:30Both running her down.
00:27:31Opportunity now.
00:27:33Tag.
00:27:34I want to make Charlotte knows where she is.
00:27:36Now she does.
00:27:37Chelsea and Meech are legal.
00:27:41And Chelsea Green like a house of fire.
00:27:45Japanese arm drags by Chelsea Green.
00:27:55Chelsea face first goes Meech.
00:27:59Salute her, Graves.
00:28:02You know when you're in the middle of a band and then all of a sudden they blow up.
00:28:05Oh, a little Rough Rider action.
00:28:07Cover.
00:28:07B-Fab breaks things up.
00:28:10You were saying.
00:28:13Bang.
00:28:14There's been dropped kicked.
00:28:15Now Jade Cargill.
00:28:20Super kick by the Queen.
00:28:22Oh, and Jade Cargill with a big boot.
00:28:25Chelsea Green now.
00:28:27Shits Cargill outside the ring.
00:28:29Watch out for Meech.
00:28:30Meech should roll up.
00:28:31And a kick out.
00:28:34Green with a slap.
00:28:41Chelsea now.
00:28:43Oh, Meech should.
00:28:44Oh, my God.
00:28:45Off that Hurricane Rana.
00:28:48I don't know how much damage Chelsea did to herself.
00:28:51But Jade with a puck kick.
00:28:53Chelsea looking for the unpretty her.
00:28:55Jade Cargill on the corner.
00:28:58Went for Jade.
00:28:59And Chelsea to the great counter.
00:29:01Right hand drops B-Fab.
00:29:03Yeah!
00:29:07Jade!
00:29:08Jade it!
00:29:09Oh, the distraction.
00:29:11Oh, the distraction.
00:29:12Cargill with the win.
00:29:15Here are your winners.
00:29:17The team of B-Fab, Meech, and Jade Cargill.
00:29:26See the disappointment in the eyes of Charlotte Flair.
00:29:31Tiffany Stratton attempting to come to the aid of Chelsea Green, who had a fantastic counter
00:29:38once for Jaded, dropped B-Fab, but Jade Cargill stayed the course and plants Ms. Green with Jaded in the
00:29:49middle of the ring.
00:29:51That had to feel good for Jade Cargill after what happened at Night of Champions.
00:30:02Ladies and gentlemen, this past Saturday at Night of Champions, Sami Zayn won the WWE Championship, defeating Cody Rhodes and
00:30:08Gunther in a triple threat match.
00:30:11Then there was an altercation between Gunther and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis.
00:30:17You screwed me over in Europe.
00:30:18You screwed me here.

00:35:24Ray Phoenix knows what he's getting into in this matchup tonight.
00:35:28How does he keep the cruiserweight title?
00:35:30Phoenix has to be careful and has to be fully aware that Viquingo will stop at nothing to take his
00:35:35championship.
00:35:38Look at this.
00:35:40Such unique, unorthodox offense from El Ijo del Viquingo.
00:35:44And Ray Phoenix, since capturing the cruiserweight championship back at Noche de los Grandes,
00:35:49promised to be, oh, that's the thing that Ronaldo stole from Viquingo.
00:35:54Oh, Ronaldo did.
00:35:55That's right.
00:35:56Anyway, Phoenix promised upon becoming cruiserweight kingpin that he would be a fighting champion,
00:36:03that he would raise the status and the perception of the cruiserweight gold.
00:36:07What a crossbody.
00:36:09And a kick out.
00:36:11Well, Phoenix did just that last week.
00:36:12What a matchup he had with Nathan Fraser.
00:36:15And Phoenix showing no signs of slowing as we take another look at the unbelievable athleticism
00:36:22with a triple-A world cruiserweight champion.
00:36:26Viquingo sends him into the ropes.
00:36:28Phoenix missed with the kick.
00:36:31Off the hand.
00:36:32Catches him.
00:36:34A crusher.
00:36:35Glanced.
00:36:36Viquingo.
00:36:36Cover.
00:36:37Almost had him kick at two.
00:36:39Take another look.
00:36:40And in the blink of an eye, Phoenix can turn the tides of any matchup.
00:36:50A matter of seconds before Phoenix takes flight.
00:36:54Oh, and Viquingo.
00:36:56Great move as he catches Phoenix in the apron.
00:37:00Viquingo is so cagey.
00:37:02So crafty.
00:37:04Oh, and now right to the back of the head.
00:37:07And ruthless.
00:37:10That's a great way to describe him.
00:37:14Look at this.
00:37:16And Phoenix take it out.
00:37:19Cruiserweight title from AAA.
00:37:21Up for grabs.
00:37:27AAA Cruiserweight Championship is up for grabs.
00:37:31It is the champion, Rey Fenix, against the challenger, Viquingo.
00:37:35Nobody home.
00:37:36Kick right to the back of the head.
00:37:39Viquingo in a lot of trouble here.
00:37:41Good fly, Amigo.
00:37:46Phoenix effortlessly once again scaling the ropes.
00:37:52What a frog splash.
00:37:54To the center of the ring.
00:37:56Cover.
00:37:57To retain.
00:37:57And a kick out.
00:38:00Take a look at the height and the distance.
00:38:04Covered by the champion.
00:38:05Full extension.
00:38:07Full impact.
00:38:09Phoenix very nearly ended this one.
00:38:12But Viquingo still has a little too much left in the tank.
00:38:17The champion has his sights set on the son of the Viking.
00:38:20Nobody home.
00:38:20Meteor misses.
00:38:21Big kick by Viquingo.
00:38:26Phoenix collapsing into a heap in the bottom turnbuckle.
00:38:29The challenger looking to push the pace.
00:38:31Into the corner.
00:38:32The Meteora.
00:38:33Vicious.
00:38:34From Viquingo.
00:38:36Could be closing in on the Cruiserweight Championship.
00:38:42Oh, he caught him.
00:38:44Roll through.
00:38:45Cover.
00:38:46And a kick out.
00:38:49So innovative is the challenger.
00:38:52Viquingo got all the kick.
00:38:54Come on, Phoenix.
00:39:00Viquingo may be closing in on the Cruiserweight Championship.
00:39:04Maybe not Ray Phoenix.
00:39:06What a strike.
00:39:12Go.
00:39:13Go.
00:39:14Shots to the ribs.
00:39:15Viquingo recognizing the peril of the situation.
00:39:20Oh, my goodness.
00:39:22What on earth does Viquingo have in store here?
00:39:25Oh, God.
00:39:26From the ring post.
00:39:28Cover for the championship.
00:39:31And a kick out of two and a half.
00:39:35An unbelievable poison runoff.
00:39:39From the ropes.
00:39:41It's almost miraculous Phoenix survives.
00:39:44Come on.
00:39:47Indeed it is for the Triple-A Cruiserweight Championship.
00:39:51The challenger now perched on top of the ring post.
00:39:55Wow.
00:39:57Three board, 450.
00:39:58Nobody home.
00:39:59Ray Phoenix moved out of harm's way.
00:40:01Oh.
00:40:01Down the knees in the corner.
00:40:03Phoenix putting Viquingo up.
00:40:05Top ropes.
00:40:06Right to the chest.
00:40:07And now Phoenix looking to put him away.
00:40:11Marching around the ring.
00:40:15Mexican muscle buster.
00:40:17Cover.
00:40:18Phoenix retains.
00:40:21Here is your winner.
00:40:24And still the Triple-A Cruiserweight Champion, Ray Stevenson.
00:40:33Kudos to the challenger, Elijo Del Viquingo, who went for broke.
00:40:38And unfortunately, it did not pay off.
00:40:41Phoenix wasting no time capitalizing.
00:40:43Meteora in the turnbuckle.
00:40:45And the Mexican muscle buster.
00:40:48And still, Triple-A World Cruiserweight Champion, Ray Phoenix.
00:40:56And just a reminder, this is the type of action you will find each and every Saturday night.
00:41:02It's Triple-A.
00:41:10Last week on SmackDown, our main event, Gloria, versus her former business associate, Kiana James.
00:41:15The beautiful madness brought her A-game, delivering the Northern Lights bomb to her former business
00:41:23associate, freeing herself from any sort of past association with Kiana James.
00:41:29Unfortunately for Julia, her celebration would be short-lived.
00:41:34Enter the glamour.
00:41:36Blake Monroe bursting onto the SmackDown scene at Julia's expense.
00:41:41Here's Kathy Kelly.
00:41:43Yeah, thanks so much.
00:41:44I'm standing by with Julia.
00:41:47And Julia, last week, you didn't even get the chance to celebrate your win over Kiana James
00:41:52before Blake Monroe attacked you.
00:41:54Do you have a message for Blake?
00:41:56I don't back down from any fight.
00:42:01I put Kiana behind me.
00:42:04If Blake Monroe stops being a coward, I will fight her.
00:42:10Anytime, anywhere.
00:42:15That's rich coming from you, Julia.
00:42:19I mean, it would be just like you to bite the hand that feeds you.
00:42:26Listen, you got lucky.
00:42:29I beat you, Kiana!
00:42:31Oh my God!
00:42:32I can't!
00:42:35In case you forgot, I'm Blake Monroe, and it's so good to see you again.
00:42:45You know, as fun as that was to watch, let's not forget who's in control here.
00:42:51Ah!
00:42:52What?
00:42:52Oh!
00:42:55It's nice to see you too.
00:42:58Oh my God.
00:43:01Blake Monroe again.
00:43:03Well, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, we'll take a look at what transpired this past
00:43:07Monday between Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins.
00:43:16WWE would like to give special thanks to Visit Atlantic City.
00:43:21Atlantic City is the destination for life's greatest celebrations.
00:43:25Take it back this past Monday.
00:43:27I'll show you what happened surrounding the world heavyweight title.
00:43:33Hello, my brother.
00:43:35You are in possession of a title that belongs to me.
00:43:42And yes, my brother, it is time to collect.
00:43:48You're the back of the line.
00:43:51You hadn't done anything of late to earn a shot at the tribal chief.
00:43:57When it comes to you, I am always at the front of the line.
00:44:03You have done it all.
00:44:05You have won every title there is to win.
00:44:08You have main evented every show there is to main event.
00:44:15But there is one thing in your career that you have not been able to do.
00:44:24Beat me.
00:44:28I own you.
00:44:32I have owned you since the day I put a steel chair in your back.
00:44:45I took your main event and you couldn't do a damn thing about it.
00:44:55I sacrificed myself so Cody Rhodes could end your reign of terror.
00:45:07Triple threat match.
00:45:08I've hit you in the center of this rink.
00:45:11I've hit you in the center of this rink.
00:45:12And took your wise man.
00:45:1614 years.
00:45:18You and I have been tied together.
00:45:21What do you want your legacy to be?
00:45:25You're right.
00:45:27I don't want to beat you.
00:45:28I need to beat you.
00:45:34And at SummerSlam, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:45:40Two former teammates.
00:45:43Two bitter rivals.
00:45:45It all culminates at SummerSlam.
00:45:53It is now official at the biggest party of the summer in Minnesota.
00:45:59SummerSlam.
00:46:00The tribal chief, Roman Reigns, defends his world heavyweight championship
00:46:04against the man who never lost that title.
00:46:07Seth.
00:46:08Freaking.
00:46:09Rawlings.
00:46:11We're going to run it.
00:46:15All right?
00:46:16What's up, big Jim?
00:46:18What up, Royce?
00:46:21What's up, bro?
00:46:23You can't tap in with nobody?
00:46:25Let me guess.
00:46:27I guess Roman tells Jacob who his partner is now, huh?
00:46:32Hey, man.
00:46:33Speaking of Roman, we're here because the OTC sent us on a mission to find Solo.
00:46:38Now, can you help us?
00:46:39Do you know where you're at or do you not know where you're at?
00:46:42Because if you don't, we're just going to handle our family businesses.
00:46:46Family needs.
00:46:48Blood don't make you family.
00:46:51Loyalty makes you family.
00:46:54I've been your day one for the last 14 years.
00:46:58Right?
00:47:00I've been loyal to you.
00:47:02So guess what?
00:47:04As far as I'm concerned, I'm your family.
00:47:11Not no more.
00:47:13Right, Jacob?
00:47:17Jacob?
00:47:35Thanks, Jamie.
00:47:38Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:48:10Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the self-proclaimed best man to ever breathe, Lil Yachty, and the United States champion,
00:48:24Rick Williams.
00:48:30The best man to ever breathe, Michael Cole. Do you know what a dubious distinction that is?
00:48:36Lil Yachty, my guy. Rick Williams, still the United States champion after a hell of a battle this past Saturday,
00:48:44a night of champions, the absolute Ricky Sanks.
00:49:09It's like those little Yachtys out here dressed like Kim Chi.
00:49:12Let me get me some of those boots.
00:49:42What?
00:49:45What?
00:49:46What?
00:49:47What?
00:50:15Oh, this is interesting.
00:50:23I would never recommend interrupting Lil Yachty or Trick Williams.
00:50:30Carmelo Hayes has done just that.
00:50:34The former United States champion, I guarantee you, Corey, he was watching Trick and Ricky this past Saturday night of
00:50:42champions.
00:50:43Carmelo Hayes, the former United States champion in his own right, his career deeply intertwined with Trick Williams dating all
00:50:50the way back to their tenures in NXT.
00:51:01That's why I like Carmelo. He's never been afraid to ruffle a few feathers.
00:51:06Or fur, in this case.
00:51:15Carmelo! Carmelo! Carmelo! Carmelo! Carmelo! Carmelo!
00:51:23All right, yeah. All right, Trick. Let's get serious. Let's get to business.
00:51:30Look, on Saturday, Ricky couldn't get the job done.
00:51:34So now it looks like Atlantic City, we have no other choice but to run it back, you and me,
00:51:44for that United States championship.
00:51:46If you bout it, bout it.
00:51:52No answer.
00:51:53Okay, you know what? I expected that.
00:51:56But before I go where I gotta go, Trick, you know what? Let me just give you your flowers.
00:52:01Everything that you do, man, it's larger than life.
00:52:05Title looks great on you.
00:52:06The crowd, they love you.
00:52:09You unstoppable.
00:52:11But that's because I haven't decided to stop you yet.
00:52:19I made that championship a championship.
00:52:23You turn that title into an accessory.
00:52:27So if you and Lil Yachty wanna run around here with a title, I get you a discount code on
00:52:33WWE Shop.
00:52:34It's easy.
00:52:39It's easy.
00:52:41Trick.
00:52:42Trick, that championship, that's the workhorse championship.
00:52:47That's the match of the night championship.
00:52:51That championship is for guys who are hungry.
00:52:54And it looks like me.
00:52:55You walk around here like you had too much to eat.
00:52:58Let's really talk about it.
00:53:01I'm just getting started.
00:53:04So Trick, I say all that just to say this, man.
00:53:08Prove me wrong.
00:53:10Prove me wrong.
00:53:12Put that title against somebody that knows you better than anybody.
00:53:17Because all this talk about you on track to be one of the greatest U.S. champions of all time,
00:53:23I'm not buying it.
00:53:26Because you might be able to walk the walk and talk the talk when you're in there with them.
00:53:30But the reality is, you got two left feet and a mouth full of marbles once you get in there
00:53:35with him.
00:53:36Ah, my lord, god dang!
00:53:39Who are you talking to?
00:53:41Look, this ain't no Willy Nilly Carlo from NXT, okay?
00:53:47This is Trick Willy.
00:53:49The one and only Trick Willy might I need to add the United States champion.
00:53:55And since being caught up to the big leagues, he has been nothing short of pure greatness, okay?
00:54:04Now, I understand you would like a match, right?
00:54:10Atlantic City, shouldn't we give this young small man a match?
00:54:26Slow down, alright?
00:54:27Don't blow a blood vessel.
00:54:29We got you.
00:54:30Alright, you know what?
00:54:31Matter of fact, next week, you got yourself a match.
00:54:38But it's not for the championship.
00:54:40Relax, alright?
00:54:42Hey, we gave you that chance, you blew it, you failed.
00:54:45Look, we not just gonna keep giving out title shots, baby.
00:54:47You understand?
00:54:48Titles are earned, not given, alright?
00:54:51But you are lucky because the champ needs to get his reps in.
00:54:54So, with that being said, you got a match next week.
00:54:58But, please understand, next week when things get tricky, you will have no more excuses as to why you cannot
00:55:06get the job done.
00:55:13You know what, Melo?
00:55:15It's funny.
00:55:16I guess with all the history that you and me have, I really do know you like the back of
00:55:22my hand.
00:55:28Oh!
00:55:29Oh!
00:55:31Oh!
00:55:31Mind your business, I'm grown folk talking!
00:55:34Oh!
00:55:35Oh!
00:55:36Oh!
00:55:37Oh!
00:55:37What a backhand from Williams.
00:55:40Oh!
00:55:42Oh!
00:55:43Oh!
00:55:45Oh!
00:55:47Oh!
00:55:50Oh!
00:55:51Oh!
00:55:54Oh!
00:55:56Oh!
00:55:57Oh!
00:55:58Oh!
00:55:58Melo Hayes takes out Trent Williams!
00:56:01Why wait till next week!
00:56:17Mello wants a title.
00:56:19Mello wants tricks, Kyle.
00:56:27Am I bleeding?
00:56:30Dan Housen, that would be wonderful.
00:56:32Because I don't get any of it.
00:56:34I don't know who I'm going to ask.
00:56:35Dan Housen.
00:56:36Hey, Zack Ryder, how are you?
00:56:38You know.
00:56:39Anyway, I saw what happened on Raw with the Judgment Day.
00:56:42Oh, yeah, no need to worry.
00:56:43Dan Housen has it taken care of.
00:56:44He has a match with that guy with the head.
00:56:46He's always following around Dominic Mysterious.
00:56:48J.D. McDonough?
00:56:49Yeah, maybe that's it.
00:56:50I don't know.
00:56:51Anyway, I'm going to wrestle him at Saturday night's main event
00:56:54at Madison Square Garden.
00:56:56Hope you need any backup on your guy.
00:56:58No need.
00:56:59I just got backup on the phone.
00:57:00You saw.
00:57:02Invisible backup?
00:57:03No, he's real.
00:57:04He's from New York.
00:57:05I'm going to take a train down there.
00:57:06I'm going to meet him.
00:57:07I'm going to explain the whole plan to him.
00:57:09It's going to be great.
00:57:10It does sound great, yeah.
00:57:11Yeah, actually, you know what?
00:57:11Since you're here, I have something for you.
00:57:13You can help Dan Housen finish his new experiments.
00:57:16You just have to twist that.
00:57:18Why do I have to do it?
00:57:19Because you have muscles.
00:57:20That's a good point.
00:57:21Okay, just twist this?
00:57:22Yeah, twist it.
00:57:22Okay, let's see.
00:57:26What is going on?
00:57:27Oh, what?
00:57:28Hey, what is this?
00:57:29What is this supposed to be happening around?
00:57:31What is this?
00:57:32Ah, the Judgment Day must have sabotaged my experiment.
00:57:36Ah, I got to go, Zack Ryder.
00:57:38You're not in charge of me.
00:57:40You're not in charge of me.
00:57:41You're not in charge of me.
00:57:42Oh, my God.
00:57:43Take care.
00:57:44Spud your hair.
00:57:46Awesome.
00:57:49Somebody save those guys.
00:57:56They're okay.
00:58:00That's a good passion.
00:58:02You don't know me how long, Paul.
00:58:05And after the bad emotion.
00:58:10The following contest is sticking for one call.
00:58:13Introducing first, accompanied by Payne, she is one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:58:24That is the Hall of Famer, Brie Bella.
00:58:30For the first time in a decade, Brie Bella's in a one-on-one match against Lady Reed next.
00:58:40There we see a main event, Jey Uso preparing for battle.
00:58:44Will it be Jey or will it be Cody Rhodes who heads to Chicago Monday on Raw to challenge the
00:58:50new WWE Champion, Sami Zayn?
00:58:57Went out for the Tag Team Champions, Brie Bella, set for her first one-on-one match in 10 years,
00:59:03here tonight on SmackDown.
00:59:30And her opponent representing Fatal Influence, Lainey Reed.
00:59:38Lainey Reed set for one-on-one action here tonight, but let's show you what happened last week on Friday
00:59:44Night SmackDown.
00:59:44It was a homecoming in London for Paige versus J.C. Jane.
00:59:48J.C. Jane representing Fatal Influence.
00:59:50It was a matter of time before Fallon Henley and Lainey Reed would get involved.
00:59:55And it would take Paige's attention off of the task at hand, in which J.C. Jane would attempt to
01:00:00capitalize.
01:00:01However, Paige was able to rely on her veteran experience and turn the table back into her own favor.
01:00:08A disappointing night for Fatal Influence.
01:00:12So Lainey Reed, less than three years since her debut here at WWE, set to go one-on-one with
01:00:19the Hall of Famer, Brie Bella.
01:00:21And what Lainey Reed may lack in experience, she overcompensates for in raw physical ability.
01:00:27To your point, this woman is double tough.
01:00:30But Brie Bella certainly has the experience advantage.
01:00:33Oh, wow! My goodness!
01:00:34What a left hand to the chin of Brie Bella.
01:00:37I don't even know how Brie is still standing.
01:00:39That's the type of shot that'll make you rethink your career path.
01:00:42But Brie Bella explodes out of the corner.
01:00:45And Brie is ticked off.
01:00:47And look at this!
01:00:49Going to separate the shoulder of Lainey Reed.
01:00:51Trying to put this one away early in a kick-out by Reed.
01:00:54What a physical battle!
01:00:56Well, remember Lainey Reed following Henley of Fatal Influence.
01:01:02Couldn't get the job done against Brie and Paige in a tag match a couple of weeks ago.
01:01:07That's belly-to-back suplex by Reed.
01:01:15And now Lainey Reed tries to drop the elbow as Brie Bella moves out of harm's way.
01:01:20You can't get over-conscious when you're dealing with a veteran, let alone a Hall of Famer like Brie Bella.
01:01:26There isn't much in this game.
01:01:27Brie has an experience!
01:01:29She's going to have to rely on that experience to get past the physically gifted Lainey Reed.
01:01:36And a great strategy is Brie now has turned her focus on the left arm and shoulder of Lainey Reed.
01:01:42I'll tell you, that left hand really set Brie off into a frenzy.
01:01:48Reed was able to weather the storm.
01:01:50We've got J.C. Gaines, Fallon Henley on the outside, cheerleading.
01:01:57Reed now powering Brie Bella up to the top turnbuckle.
01:02:01Oh!
01:02:02And another fierce left from Reed.
01:02:05My God!
01:02:06I think this woman may have knockout power.
01:02:08Brie Bella hanging in there, though.
01:02:10Went out for the tag team champions.
01:02:12Come on, Brie!
01:02:12Come on, Brie!
01:02:15Bella with a missile dropkick!
01:02:21And Paige looking to rally Brie.
01:02:24And here come the yes kicks.
01:02:26I'm sure if Miz had his wits about him in Dan Housen's lab, he would be honored.
01:02:30Has somebody checked on him?
01:02:32And Kit Wilson.
01:02:34Oh!
01:02:35Lainey Reed trying to take advantage of the distraction.
01:02:41Brie going to land on her feet.
01:02:44Down goes Reed.
01:02:48Bella rolled through, and now she's looking for the yes lock.
01:02:51The yes lock is in.
01:02:54Will Lady Reed tap out?
01:02:57Come on, Lady, huh?
01:02:58Val and Henley trying to get the attention of Brie Bella.
01:03:02As Brie continues to crank in the yes lock.
01:03:06And now Paige is going to get involved.
01:03:11Down goes Henley.
01:03:13J.C. Jane misses wildly.
01:03:14Paige drives her into the ring post.
01:03:17Oh, what a right.
01:03:18Meanwhile, in the ring, the yes lock still being applied.
01:03:21And now Brie Bella has to let it go to come to the aid.
01:03:24Oh, of her partner.
01:03:27Redal influence throwing bombs tonight.
01:03:30And Lady Reed with a running knee, takes advantage of the numbers.
01:03:35One, two, three.
01:03:36And Reed has pinned one out for the tag team champion.
01:03:40Here is your winner, Lady Reed.
01:03:48What a win for Lady Reed, thanks to the assist from Fallon Henley and J.C. Jane.
01:04:00J.C. Jane.
01:04:02Big win for Reed tonight.
01:04:08That's what we're talking about!
01:04:11Our time!
01:04:13The winner.
01:04:14Who is the winner?
01:04:15Our truth.
01:04:15Yes!
01:04:16Yes!
01:04:17Once again, the USA has beat England.
01:04:21Happy birthday, America!
01:04:23USA!
01:04:25USA!
01:04:26Tomorrow, truth tomorrow.
01:04:27That's what I said, dog.
01:04:28I think I'm going to be sick.
01:04:29I thought you were fast, dude.
01:04:30Yeah, not today, amigo.
01:04:32Hey, man, I think you're a little too good at this.
01:04:34I love eating, dog.
01:04:35You should try.
01:04:36Some ketchup on it.
01:04:37Priest!
01:04:37Truth!
01:04:39You boys think about our offer, or you're just going to shove hot dogs in your face.
01:04:45How dare you!
01:04:47He just bit your wiener.
01:04:50You're supposed to swallow him, dog.
01:04:52True.
01:04:53You know what?
01:04:54I got it.
01:04:55Y'all want it!
01:04:56All on the line!
01:04:58Triple I tag title, WWE tag title.
01:05:01All!
01:05:02For a hot dog eating contest!
01:05:04Get your throat ready.
01:05:05Let's do this, dog.
01:05:06Este tipo cada semana lo mismo.
01:05:08That's what I said.
01:05:09Now you tell them that.
01:05:10In English.
01:05:11Look, guys.
01:05:12Aldous isn't here this week.
01:05:13So I don't know when.
01:05:16Titles for title.
01:05:17You're on.
01:05:19But it's happening on SmackDown.
01:05:21Let's roll.
01:05:23You're going to lose your mask and your luchador status.
01:05:26They'll say it.
01:05:28Little Jimmy!
01:05:29Find me those.
01:05:32Why'd you eat the hot dog, man?
01:05:38Coming up next, we'll take a look back at the intense confrontation between Brock Lesnar and Obafemi on Raw this
01:05:47past Monday night.
01:05:56Oba, I want to make sure I heard you right.
01:05:58You did.
01:06:00So SummerSlam, you're sure?
01:06:02100% sure?
01:06:03Yes, I'm sure.
01:06:04It needs to happen and I will be the one to put an end to it.
01:06:09Ladies and gentlemen, your 2026 King of the Ring, Obafemi!
01:06:20Now that destiny has played out, she's not finished with me.
01:06:25A choice has to be made.
01:06:34Congratulations.
01:06:35That's a hell of a feat.
01:06:37King of the Ring.
01:06:38Now my apologies, Oba.
01:06:40I have not watched the show.
01:06:42Everybody knows I don't watch the show.
01:06:45I got to rely on Mr. Heyman over here.
01:06:47Paul tells me that you're really good at calling me names.
01:06:52Like, when I'm not here, you call Brock Lesnar a coward.
01:06:56When I'm not here, you call Brock Lesnar a coward.
01:07:02You got a pretty big decision to make.
01:07:06Maybe I can help you out with that.
01:07:08You know what they say.
01:07:12Talk s***.
01:07:15Get hit.
01:07:26Hey, you said I called you names behind your back.
01:07:32Well, guess what?
01:07:34You're in front of me and you're still in.
01:07:36Me and you, one-on-one, Obafemi versus Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.
01:07:46I accept, Oba, but here's what condition.
01:07:51Hell in a cell.
01:07:55We finished this.
01:07:57No more games.
01:08:01The match is set.
01:08:04The beast, Brock Lesnar, the king, Obafemi, locked inside the steel structure known as
01:08:13Pell in a cell at SummerSlam.
01:08:24Hey, Cody.
01:08:25Ben.
01:08:26What's up, Hank?
01:08:27I didn't get around to it.
01:08:28I apologize.
01:08:29Welcome to SmackDown.
01:08:31Well, Cody, I gotta be honest.
01:08:33One of the main reasons I came to SmackDown was the idea to face in you.
01:08:37But I hoped it was gonna be for the title.
01:08:41So go get it back.
01:08:42It starts tonight.
01:08:44Good luck.
01:08:49Hey, Ben.
01:08:52What's up, Tama?
01:08:53I thought about what you said last week.
01:08:55Oh, yeah?
01:08:57So I went to the elders for guidance.
01:08:59What I should do next.
01:09:01Oh, yeah?
01:09:02What's that got to do with me?
01:09:06Oh, Ben.
01:09:13I'm closing the books on everything from my past.
01:09:18And you're next.
01:09:20Oh, Ben.
01:09:23Oh, bro.
01:09:32Oh, be it.
01:09:40Oh, yeah.
01:09:44Oh, be it.
01:10:04it is time for our main event who will head to chicago to challenge sammy zane this monday on
01:10:13raw will it be main event jay usso or the american nightmare cody rhodes
01:10:23we are set for our main event here tonight on friday night smackdown jay usso cody rhodes
01:10:30the winner to face sammy zane for the wwe championship monday night on raw from chicago
01:10:43wrestling has been won the royal family
01:11:13a trend
01:11:32And his opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia,
01:11:38weighing in for 225, the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes!
01:11:52Very interesting that a few weeks back, it was Jey Uso who was cast by Roman Reigns
01:11:58with becoming King of the Ring so that Jey could deflone the then-WWE champion,
01:12:04Cody Rhodes.
01:12:05Now Cody still stands in Jey's path, but without the gold tonight.
01:12:10A lot of history between these two.
01:12:12They were once tag team champions together.
01:12:16Cody and Jey, the second time in their career, they'll go one-on-one in a matchup.
01:12:30This could boil down which of these two superstars is able to compartmentalize their relationship better.
01:12:36You have to let friendship flip to the back of your mind.
01:12:40In fact, forget about it all together.
01:12:42Because your friend is the only thing left standing between you and a shot at the undisputed WWE title.
01:12:48There's also a ton of pressure tonight on Jey Uso.
01:12:51Remember the world champion in Roman Reigns, Dave Jey is marching over to the King of the Ring tournament.
01:12:56Winnias thinks you can go on to SummerSlam to take on the WWE champion so the bloodline can have all
01:13:01the gold.
01:13:02Well, Jey lost to Obafemi in the King of the Ring.
01:13:04So another opportunity tonight for Jey Uso to earn a chance at the WWE title and make Roman's wishes come
01:13:13true.
01:13:16So Cody and Jey, high-stakes matchup in our main event tonight.
01:13:21As for Cody Rhodes, how did being pinned by Sami Zayn in the triple threat affect him mentally heading into
01:13:27this matchup?
01:13:27I don't know how badly it affected Cody Rhodes, only that Cody has experienced this position before.
01:13:33He has been champion and had it taken from him.
01:13:36Cody understands as well as anybody how to get back on the horse, dust yourself off, and continue the journey.
01:13:42Jey Uso, a former world champion in his own right.
01:13:45He knows what's at stake here.
01:13:46Jey tried to catch Cody.
01:13:48Uh-oh, uh-oh.
01:13:48Cody looking for an early crossroads.
01:13:50Snapmare takedown by Jey and a stare-off.
01:13:59Cody, how do you put Jey away tonight?
01:14:02Show Jey something that perhaps he hasn't seen before.
01:14:05Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes, to your point, know one another so well as former Tag Team Championship partners.
01:14:10They've seen just about every play in one another's books.
01:14:14The fact is, Cody, or Jey for that matter, has to be the first to show a new look.
01:14:19Run a different play.
01:14:20Throw your opponent off guard.
01:14:22Jey sent into the corner.
01:14:23And Jey Uso, wow.
01:14:25Great performance against Oba Febi.
01:14:26And a losing cause.
01:14:28Wait a minute.
01:14:28Cody slipped off the apron.
01:14:30And Jey Uso gonna make a pay down for the suicide dive.
01:14:33Jey Uso has taken over.
01:14:40This has been a physical matchup since the get-go.
01:14:44Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso.
01:14:45Winner goes to Raw Monday night and plays Sandy Zane.
01:14:48The brand new WWE Champion.
01:14:52Here comes the main event.
01:14:54Jey Uso fighting his way back into this thing.
01:14:57But Cody dropped down with the right hand.
01:15:00Rhodes who lost the WWE title last Saturday night at Night of Champions.
01:15:08And a Cody cutter.
01:15:10Rhodes into the cover.
01:15:13And Jey Uso kicks out at two.
01:15:22Jey Uso needs to figure a way back into this thing.
01:15:25I think Jey may have tweaked his ankle a bit.
01:15:28He's been favoring it here.
01:15:30Snap bear take down.
01:15:31Now a Samoa drop to Cody.
01:15:32Yeah, I agree with you, Cole.
01:15:34It was off of this suicide dive to the outside.
01:15:36Jey hasn't quite been the same competitor in the moment since.
01:15:40And I fully expect Cody to have taken notice of that situation.
01:15:45The American nightmare laid out here on our announce table.
01:15:48And main event Jey Uso making his way as well.
01:15:51And Jey Uso now runs into a kick by Rhodes.
01:15:54Jey now sent over the announce table into the floor.
01:15:57And now Cody Rhodes cleaning up our announce table here.
01:16:01Cody understands the assignment.
01:16:02This is what it's going to take.
01:16:03No, no, no, no.
01:16:04You can't show any mercy when there's a title shot on the line.
01:16:10Cody Rhodes hitting the announce table hard.
01:16:12And now main event Jey Uso vicious in his attack.
01:16:23And Jey now looking to pull out all the stops.
01:16:26Uso went for the suicide dive.
01:16:27Cody caught him with the right hand.
01:16:31Rhodes now launching main event into the timekeeper's area.
01:16:36Cody doing everything he can here.
01:16:38Launching himself off the barricade.
01:16:40And down goes Uso.
01:16:43This fight is spilling out everywhere.
01:16:48The official Dan Engler with his hands full here tonight.
01:16:53This is exactly what both Cody and Jey should have expected.
01:16:57Neither man letting up.
01:16:59Boom!
01:16:59Both men down.
01:17:01This is to determine who's the number one contender for the WWE title.
01:17:11The winner of this match heads to Monday Night Raw.
01:17:14For a WWE Championship opportunity against Sami Zayn.
01:17:18Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso.
01:17:20In a physical battle here tonight.
01:17:22In our main event on Friday Night SmackDown.
01:17:24Rough landing for Cody.
01:17:26Here comes Jey.
01:17:27Uso splash.
01:17:29Cover.
01:17:30Is it enough?
01:17:31Cody kicks out.
01:17:35Take another look at this.
01:17:37Jey Uso soaring through the skies.
01:17:40Full impact on the Uso splash.
01:17:44Perhaps not the best cover executed by Uso.
01:17:48Otherwise this one may be over.
01:17:50The official in this matchup Dan Engler.
01:17:52The man who counted the 1-2-3.
01:17:54For Sami Zayn over Cody Rhodes this past Saturday.
01:17:56In the triple threat match.
01:17:58Cody with a kick now to Jey.
01:18:00Gonna head up to the top rope.
01:18:02Looking for a massive Cody cutter.
01:18:04Is this enough to send it to the wall?
01:18:07And a kick out by Jey.
01:18:14Why not to get frustrated here.
01:18:17Hasn't been able to put Uso away.
01:18:19화물.
01:18:21Did not do it again.
01:18:30Ran into a kick of his own.
01:18:34Spear.
01:18:35Jey Uso.
01:18:37Going to Chicago.
01:18:38And that's a heartbreaker
01:18:43for main event Jey Uso.
01:18:46Delivering a spear,
01:18:48the crown of his head
01:18:49right into the ribcage of Cody Rhodes.
01:18:52But the American Nightmare kicks out.
01:18:58Critical point in this matchup.
01:19:03Both of these men
01:19:05have put their bodies through hell here tonight.
01:19:09All in the name of an opportunity.
01:19:12One chance to become undisputed WWE champion
01:19:15for Cody Rhodes again.
01:19:18For Jey for the very first time.
01:19:20Cody rolls out of hearts.
01:19:22Cody has a spear on Jey.
01:19:24Now he's got him where he wants him.
01:19:27Crossroads by Cody.
01:19:29Cover.
01:19:32Cody almost had him
01:19:33and a kick out by Jey.
01:19:35And now Cody's got to be questioning himself.
01:19:37What do I need to do to put Jey away?
01:19:43Ask those questions later, Cody.
01:19:45Keep your foot on the gas pedal.
01:19:49Rhodes cannot allow doubt
01:19:51to creep into his mind at this juncture.
01:19:54Cody knows what it means
01:19:55to be in the main event.
01:19:57Cody knows what it means
01:19:58to be QB1.
01:20:00And now is not the time
01:20:02for an internal crisis.
01:20:05Not quite sure what Cody's planning to do here.
01:20:08It looks to me like Cody's feeling desperate.
01:20:14Cody hit it all the way up to the top rope.
01:20:19Rhodes with a splash.
01:20:21But knees up by Jey.
01:20:22Rolls up Cody.
01:20:23Is it enough?
01:20:24Cody kicks at it too.
01:20:28Another near fall.
01:20:30High pressure here.
01:20:34The high risk that backfired on Rhodes.
01:20:38Jey with the presence of mind
01:20:39to get both knees up.
01:20:42They also never know
01:20:43when you're going to get
01:20:44another championship opportunity.
01:20:46A world title opportunity.
01:20:50One of these men will earn one tonight.
01:21:02Rhodes and Uso
01:21:04looking to empty their tanks
01:21:05in the middle of the ring.
01:21:07That's how valuable
01:21:08an undisputed title opportunity is.
01:21:12The chance at immortality.
01:21:17Cody wants an opportunity
01:21:19to become a four-time champion
01:21:21and now Jey Uso
01:21:22trying to lock in the sleeper.
01:21:24The move that won
01:21:25in the world title
01:21:26at WrestleMania.
01:21:31Is Cody fading?
01:21:33Nope.
01:21:35Jey lands on his feet.
01:21:40On a roll by Uso.
01:21:43Cody able to turn around
01:21:44at least momentarily.
01:21:45Now backed up into the corner.
01:21:47Jey trying to lock it in again.
01:21:50Jey wanted a sleeper hold.
01:21:53Look to adjust into it.
01:21:55Perhaps a dragon sleeper
01:21:56or maybe even a crossroads.
01:21:59Speaking of...
01:22:01Crossroads again by Cody.
01:22:05Rhodes with a cover.
01:22:07Cody Rhodes
01:22:09is going to get a WWE title opportunity.
01:22:12Here is your winner.
01:22:16Here is your winner.
01:22:17The American Nightmare.
01:22:21Cody Rhodes.
01:22:24For the first time in his career,
01:22:26Sami Zayn will understand
01:22:29what it feels like
01:22:30to be the hunted.
01:22:31Because the former champion,
01:22:34the American Nightmare,
01:22:35Cody Rhodes,
01:22:36was able to slip past
01:22:38a very game.
01:22:40Jey Uso tonight.
