00:00:26The following contest is a triple threat match
00:00:30for the undisputed WWE Championship!
00:00:35Thrones the champion, Zayn and Gunther the challengers
00:00:38Triple threat rules tonight
00:00:42What an atmosphere in here
00:00:47Cody to retain
00:00:48And these two men who watched the closest of friends
00:00:52Now fighting it for the biggest prize in the business
00:00:55Zayn wants a package pile driver
00:01:02This is Gunther's moment
00:01:06But Zayn would not let Cody's heart fall
00:01:13Zayn's got a chance
00:01:18Crossbows
00:01:19And Cody, is he going to look for one more on Sammy?
00:01:26Oh my god!
00:01:30A lot of folks said
00:01:31I would never win the WWE Championship
00:01:36A miracle in Riyadh
00:01:40But I stand here tonight
00:01:42In front of my people
00:01:43Honey, Viriyadh
00:01:45New undisputed
00:01:48WWE Champion
00:02:15Ladies and gentlemen
00:02:17And please welcome
00:02:18The new
00:02:20Undisputed
00:02:22WWE Champion
00:02:25Sami Zayn
00:02:32Do not against the television screen
00:02:41Ladies and gentlemen
00:02:45You saw it just moments ago
00:02:46The miracle
00:02:48In this past Saturday
00:02:50That night of champions
00:02:51In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
00:02:53On his 10th try
00:02:55After a quarter of a century
00:02:56In the business
00:02:57Sandy Zayn
00:02:59Wins his first
00:03:00WWE Championship
00:03:02The culmination
00:03:04Of a lifelong dream
00:03:06Before our very eyes
00:03:09In Riyadh
00:03:10A moment that will never
00:03:13Be forgotten
00:03:14Especially
00:03:16For Sami Zayn
00:03:33Sami admitted himself
00:03:35He never thought
00:03:37What would happen
00:03:41And he finally climbed
00:03:42To the top of the mountain
00:03:43And he finally jumped
00:03:47No
00:03:47No
00:03:47No
00:03:48No
00:03:48No
00:03:48Lo
00:03:49No
00:03:52No
00:03:53No
00:03:54No
00:03:55No
00:03:55No
00:04:02Star
00:04:04No
00:04:04No
00:04:07No
00:04:08Who
00:04:16It seems to me like a lot of folks out here tonight
00:04:23came to ride or die with the last real good guy.
00:04:38And I just want to say, before I even get started, the overwhelming reaction, the love that I've gotten over
00:04:44the last few days since winning this,
00:04:46it's really touched me from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. I mean that. Thank you.
00:04:58But the whole thing is really kind of funny, considering for the past six months, I've come out here and
00:05:04I've been booed out of the building.
00:05:08Every single time.
00:05:12And it's funny because the people booing were the same people who three years ago were dying to see Sami
00:05:18Zayn as the WWE champion.
00:05:22But then they decided, oh, this guy's never going to do it.
00:05:25They jumped off the bandwagon.
00:05:27They turned their backs on me.
00:05:30They wanted to boo me.
00:05:31But now I have this.
00:05:33So I could be petty if I wanted to.
00:05:36I could be petty and tell every single one of those people who turned their backs on me to kiss
00:05:43my ass.
00:05:50But I won't.
00:05:53But I won't.
00:05:54And you want to know why?
00:05:57Because I am a good guy.
00:06:03And that is the same reason why I'm holding this.
00:06:08Because I never changed.
00:06:10Everyone told me, if you want to win, you have to be a bit more selfish.
00:06:14You need to be a bit more cutthroat.
00:06:16You need to do some things you don't want to do.
00:06:19And I didn't.
00:06:21I won this the way I always said I would win it.
00:06:24I did it my way.
00:06:26I did it the right way.
00:06:33And I could be petty.
00:06:36Trust me.
00:06:36I could be petty.
00:06:37And I could tell every single one of those people that said, oh, he's not championship material.
00:06:43He'll never win the big one.
00:06:45I could very easily tell each and every single one of them to kiss my ass.
00:06:59But I won't.
00:07:02I won't.
00:07:03Because this is a celebration, people.
00:07:07Huh?
00:07:08Am I right?
00:07:10Am I right?
00:07:11Am I right?
00:07:15And do you know what it is we're celebrating here tonight?
00:07:29You're damn right, Sammy.
00:07:31We are celebrating me.
00:07:34We are celebrating the new WWE Champion.
00:07:40We are celebrating the end of the debate once and for all.
00:07:43I forever go down now as one of the all-time greats.
00:07:49I will forever be known now as Sami Zayn, WrestleMania main eventer, Grand Slam Champion.
00:08:03Until the day I die and beyond, I will forever be known as a WWE Champion.
00:08:12And no amount of booing, no amount of hate, no amount of noise will ever, ever take that away from
00:08:20me.
00:08:25Wrestling has more than one, Royal Family.
00:08:28Wrestling has more than one, Royal Family.
00:08:47Wrestling has more than one, Royal Family.
00:08:50PayPal, for the man who was the WWE Champion.
00:08:53Cannibal to win!
00:08:56Appointment, ROI is here, about to blow.
00:08:59Paying for me to stop the show.ätmark?
00:09:03As a quedar
00:09:03who likes to�� for balls. Woah! 시간,
00:09:09battle to
00:09:11win! Oh my God!
00:09:13When I was younger,
00:09:15uh, boys.
00:09:15Well, the man who was the WWE Champion.
00:09:21Cody Rhodes, pinned by Sami Zayn in the Triple Threat Match this past Saturday night.
00:09:28As for Sami Zayn, Corey Graves, not quite the celebratory speech that I was expecting from the champion.
00:09:37Sami Zayn has more than earned the right to air his grievances.
00:09:41He is now the kingpin here on SmackDown.
00:09:44And I've got to be perfectly honest, seeing Cody make the walk to the ring without the gold around his
00:09:50waist feels a little uncomfortable.
00:10:15I've got to be perfectly honest, seeing Cody make the walk to the ring without the gold.
00:10:22I've got to be perfectly honest, with the gold.
00:10:36I've got to be perfectly honest, with the gold.
00:10:45Oh, Sami?
00:10:49Cody?
00:10:51So, um...
00:10:56What do you want to talk about?
00:11:04It's very simple.
00:11:05You said something I had forgotten.
00:11:07You reminded me of it.
00:11:08When I won that WWE Championship, you were the very first to come into the ring and celebrate with me.
00:11:17So, I didn't want to wait in line.
00:11:19I wanted to be the first here, as you put it, during this celebration to tell you, congratulations, champ.
00:11:52Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:11:55What, that's it?
00:11:56Hey, hey, hey, hey, come back here.
00:12:02Come back here a sec, Cody.
00:12:03Come on, let's not do this, okay?
00:12:05Let's not play this game.
00:12:07For once in your...
00:12:08Just drop the act for a second, okay?
00:12:11Drop the American Nightmare.
00:12:13Drop the golden boy.
00:12:14Just be Cody for one second.
00:12:16We both know that's not the only reason you came out here.
00:12:20I have something that you once had.
00:12:24Now it's mine.
00:12:27It's something I know you want.
00:12:29It's something I know you are addicted to.
00:12:33So, just be honest with me.
00:12:35For once in your life, Cody.
00:12:37No, no, no.
00:12:38Forget the games.
00:12:39Just come right out and say it.
00:12:40Tell me why you're really out here.
00:12:55We found out Monday night exactly why main event Jey Uso is here on SmackDown.
00:13:03He had Margie to order some Roman Reigns during the King of the Ring Tournament
00:13:08to win and go on to take the WWE Championship
00:13:12so the bloodline could have all the gold.
00:13:14That didn't happen.
00:13:15Now that Sami Zayn's champion, Jey Uso said he was going to show up here tonight
00:13:19and tell Sami he wanted a shot at the title.
00:13:22Hey.
00:13:23Get it.
00:13:24Get it.
00:13:24Get it.
00:13:25It's going down now.
00:13:27Uh-huh.
00:13:28Okay.
00:13:29Yay.
00:13:30Okay.
00:13:31Yay.
00:13:31Hey, let's get it.
00:13:32Hey, I'm about to get it.
00:13:37Cody, what up?
00:13:39Come on, dawg.
00:13:42Come on.
00:13:51Hey.
00:14:01I'm not going to run it back.
00:14:04Because it's about my dog Sami Zayn right now.
00:14:07I'm so proud of you, Uso.
00:14:10Man, you earned that.
00:14:13You deserve that.
00:14:20But, you know why I'm here, Uso.
00:14:26Bloodline business.
00:14:29Sami, this your warning shot.
00:14:34I need to bring that gold back to the family.
00:14:40The family?
00:14:42What year is this?
00:14:44The family?
00:14:46Do we not know who each other are?
00:14:48I mean, it's him who's standing here, WWE champion.
00:14:52And since those days, correct me if I'm wrong, you've been world heavyweight champion.
00:14:56So, at what point did my friend Jey Uso revert to just running errands for the Tribal Chief?
00:15:06And besides, we were just talking about my rematch.
00:15:14Oh, were we?
00:15:15Okay.
00:15:15I'm going to put a stop to this right now.
00:15:17We're not doing this.
00:15:18Okay?
00:15:19Jey, no one was happier for you than me.
00:15:22When you won the world championship, I laid back.
00:15:25And Cody, despite what you might think, I never came for you.
00:15:29I never stabbed you in the back.
00:15:30I never gunned for your title.
00:15:32You had your chance.
00:15:33You had your chance.
00:15:34Now, it is my time.
00:15:39To be WWE champion.
00:15:42What was it that you told me, Cody?
00:15:44As long as I have this, you never will.
00:15:49Well, now it's mine.
00:15:52And Jey, what did you say?
00:15:53You said the WWE championship needs to come back to the family.
00:15:57As far as I'm concerned, it's still in the family.
00:16:03And it's going to stay on my shoulders.
00:16:06No one's touching this.
00:16:08You understand?
00:16:09No one is touching this.
00:16:12So I say this as a friend.
00:16:14I say this as family.
00:16:16Both of you.
00:16:18Stay away from me.
00:16:26Hold on.
00:16:26Hold on.
00:16:27Sammy.
00:16:27Sammy, actually.
00:16:28Hold on.
00:16:29Sammy, if you don't mind.
00:16:32Now, I know you're aware all this isn't here.
00:16:34You know, he got sent home after his little dust-up with Gunther, which means for the first time in
00:16:39a very long time, and it feels pretty damn good, I am the acting general manager of SmackDown.
00:16:47Which is big for you, Sammy, because that means my first order of business is to find you a challenger.
00:16:57With respect, Adam, don't I, as champion, have a little bit of say of who I face at SummerSlam?
00:17:10With respect, Sammy, who said anything about SummerSlam?
00:17:16Look, I get it.
00:17:18If all this could bother to show up and do his job, he'd probably give you exactly what you want.
00:17:22But Nick's not here, I am, so we do it my way.
00:17:27And that means you will defend that undisputed WWE Championship this Monday on Raw.
00:17:37But it gets better, Sammy.
00:17:39Like I said, you're going to have a challenger, and we're going to have a number one contender after Jey
00:17:46Uso battles Cody Rhodes tonight in Atlantic City.
00:17:59A high-stakes matchup tonight in our main event.
00:18:03Cody and Jey to battle it out to earn a chance at the championship.
00:18:08You heard what Adam Pearce had to say.
00:18:10Nick Aldis is home pending an investigation after he ran into Gunther this past weekend.
00:18:15More on that story a bit later on.
00:18:17Hey, everybody.
00:18:18Michael Cole, Corey Graves filling in with Joe Testatore and Wade Barrett tonight.
00:18:22But what a main event we have on tap.
00:18:24No doubt someone will earn the right to head to Monday Night Raw this coming week in Chicago and challenge
00:18:29Sami Zayn for the undisputed WWE Championship.
00:18:32Will it be Jey Uso?
00:18:33Will it be Cody Rhodes?
00:18:34Please find out.
00:18:36Also here tonight, ladies and gentlemen, our broadcast colleague in the back, Kathy Kelly.
00:18:43Thanks so much, guys.
00:18:44Yeah, massive main event coming up tonight on SmackDown.
00:18:47And speaking of developments coming out of Night of Champions, I'm here with Charlotte Flair.
00:18:52Charlotte, I was hoping you could set the record straight.
00:18:55Why did you interfere in Jade Cargo's match for that Women's United States Championship?
00:19:02Kathy, Jade got what she deserved.
00:19:04She ruined my opportunity, so I ruined hers.
00:19:07And I'm going to keep teaching her lessons until she gets the damn picture.
00:19:15Sorry, Kathy.
00:19:18I didn't know you were going to be at Night of Champions.
00:19:21Blister, you know I'm impulsive.
00:19:24I mean, she injured you.
00:19:25She attacked me.
00:19:26Enough is enough.
00:19:28I get that.
00:19:29But I still wish you told me.
00:19:31I mean, I'm sitting at home watching you pop up on the screen.
00:19:34I mean, you looked great, but still, a heads up would have been nice.
00:19:38Lexi, it wasn't personal.
00:19:40And last week, when I was at home, icing my knees, sitting with my mom and her dog,
00:19:45I saw you on the screen with Tiffany.
00:19:49Look, we both know that I'm stubborn enough to team up with Tiffany for you.
00:19:57I never needed your help, but this, I asked.
00:20:03There you are!
00:20:07Jade should be very worried about us.
00:20:11Am I right?
00:20:12Am I right?
00:20:14You're welcome.
00:20:17Ladies, I will see you out there.
00:20:19Yeah?
00:20:20Yeah, well, not before we see you out there.
00:20:25Really?
00:20:26Right?
00:20:26We'll see you out there because we will be out there.
00:20:31I got it.
00:20:32Yes.
00:20:33What could possibly go wrong?
00:20:42A lot.
00:20:44It was horrible.
00:20:45You got me back.
00:20:47I got me back.
00:20:49All hail the queen.
00:20:52All hail the queen.
00:20:57All hail the queen.
00:21:12The Broadway is a six-woman tag team match scheduled for one ball.
00:21:18Introducing first from the Queen City, Charlotte Flair.
00:21:28Well, the 14-time world champion, Charlotte Flair, teams up with Tiffany Stratton and Chelsea
00:21:33Green against Jade Cargill and her minions.
00:21:36Maddie Cole.
00:21:37Maddie next.
00:21:46And their tag team partner, she is the women's United States champion, Tiffany Stratton.
00:21:58Well, Tiffany and Chelsea seem to get along now, but I'm not sure if Charlotte Flair is
00:22:02brought into this Chelsea Green experience.
00:22:04As I've said it for a long, long time, Charlotte Flair works best on her own.
00:22:10Can she coexist?
00:22:12Sure.
00:22:12Will she be able to get past this challenge?
00:22:15That remains to be seen.
00:22:16Let's see what she's seen happening.
00:22:18A storm is coming.
00:22:43And to the opponents, the team of Meat Shade, B-Fab, and Jade Cargill.
00:22:53These three have not been kind to Charlotte Flair.
00:22:56Let's take you back to two weeks ago.
00:22:58Charlotte, before her semifinal matchup in the Queen of the Ring with Liv Morgan.
00:23:02Max Day, Cargill, B-Chan, B-Fab would lay a beat down on the Queen, Charlotte Flair.
00:23:10Yeah, but this past Saturday, Charlotte Flair got a bit of retribution when she cost Jade
00:23:16Cargill an opportunity to knock off Tiffany Stratton to the United States championship.
00:23:20Six-woman tag team matchup, Charlotte, Tiffany, and Chelsea against B-Fab, Meachin, and Jade
00:23:26Cargill.
00:23:27That team, Jade Cargill and company, actually knocked off the team of Charlotte and Alexa
00:23:32and Rhea Ripley back at Saturday night's main event in May.
00:23:36Sorry, I was thrown off by Chelsea and Tiffany trying to do their best to Sophie Cunningham
00:23:40to incite some sort of angst before this matchup.
00:23:43And here we go, the United States champion, Tiffany Stratton, squaring off against the woman
00:23:47she beat at night of champions.
00:23:48Jade Cargill in this matchup.
00:23:50Again, ladies and gentlemen, thanks for spending your holiday weekend with us here tonight on
00:23:55Friday night's SmackDown.
00:23:57Tiffany Stratton driving Jade toward the corner and a tag made, and here comes Meachin.
00:24:01We know Jade Cargill in a very, very bad mood as a result of night of champions.
00:24:07Cargill and company look to take out their frustrations on Stratton and her teammates.
00:24:14Tiffany looking for the Alabama slam.
00:24:15Now Meachin turns him around, pinning combination and a kick out.
00:24:18Come on, come on.
00:24:24Now Meachin has taken over.
00:24:26She's picking up a lot of the traits that Jade Cargill has.
00:24:29I was just about to say, the alliance formed between Meachin, B-Fab, and Jade Cargill has
00:24:33certainly done wonders for the careers of B-Fab and Meachin.
00:24:37They say the rising tide raise of all ships.
00:24:40That's what we're seeing right in front of us.
00:24:42Covered by B-Fab.
00:24:43Off the double team and a hook to the leg and a kick out by Stratton.
00:24:47B-Fab has grown leaps and bounds since joining forces with the Storm, Jade Cargill.
00:24:54Stratton will land on her feet.
00:24:55Backs up into the corner.
00:24:57Tag was made, and the Queen Charlotte Flair is now legal.
00:25:01Charlotte, the 14th time world champion for the cross body.
00:25:06Flair with a boot to Cargill.
00:25:09Now a right hand to Meachin.
00:25:12And B-Fab into the corner.
00:25:15Backs up into Charlotte.
00:25:16Charlotte catches a little kick.
00:25:19B-Fab right under the chin.
00:25:23Boom!
00:25:24And Charlotte.
00:25:26For a kickoff.
00:25:29Oh, there's one home in the wrecking pool right now.
00:25:31Taking off all three opponents.
00:25:36A shot, stunning B-Fab driving her to the corner.
00:25:45Irish Whip to the race by B-Fab.
00:25:47Come on!
00:25:50Charlotte with a boot to the face.
00:25:53Cannonball, Sue Meachin.
00:25:55Come on!
00:25:57You forgot one, Charlotte.
00:25:59Jade Cargill lying in wait.
00:26:02Delivers a clothesline.
00:26:03Get that!
00:26:04Money!
00:26:10And before the commercial break, Jade Cargill turned the entire complexion of this match around.
00:26:17But she took out Charlotte Flair at ringside.
00:26:19And now it's been a three-on-one beatdown.
00:26:23What a way to rebound if you're Jade Cargill after a disappointing night of champions.
00:26:27To come in here and pick up a win or at least a dominant showing against Charlotte Flair.
00:26:33That'll raise your stock to an all-time eye to Maragullo.
00:26:37All the way slammed by a scared cargo.
00:26:39He is now mocking Charlotte Flair.
00:26:42He is now mocking Charlotte Flair.
00:26:45I didn't see the mockery.
00:26:46I thought Jade did a fantastic job.
00:26:48And Charlotte was out of harm's way.
00:26:49Jade Cargill face first off the turnbuckle.
00:26:52Tag will be made to B-Fab.
00:26:53Charlotte trying to make it to the corner and make a tag to her team.
00:26:57Like the urgency being shown by B-Fab.
00:27:01Knowing how important it is to prevent Charlotte from making this tag.
00:27:04It could be the tide turner her team wants.
00:27:06Charlotte at arm's length away trying to get to Chelsea.
00:27:13D-rate to the midsection by B-Fab.
00:27:15Smart move.
00:27:16Cheap shot now to Stratton.
00:27:18And that's what the alliance with Jade Cargill is on.
00:27:20B-Fab and Meech.
00:27:21And how to be relentless.
00:27:22How to look out for yourself.
00:27:24Stay to hell with everyone else.
00:27:25Both running her down.
00:27:26Opportunity now.
00:27:29Tag.
00:27:30I want to make Charlotte knows where she is.
00:27:31Now she does.
00:27:33Chelsea and Meech are legal.
00:27:36And Chelsea three like a house of fire.
00:27:40Japanese arm drags by Chelsea Green.
00:27:46They step up in to go.
00:27:48Drops Meech into the knee.
00:27:50Chelsea face first goes Meech.
00:27:54Saluter, Graves.
00:27:57Now when you know the band and then all of a sudden they fall off.
00:28:01A little Rough Rider action.
00:28:02Cover.
00:28:03B-Fab breaks things up.
00:28:06You were saying.
00:28:08Bang.
00:28:09Mishman drop kick.
00:28:11Now Jade Cargill.
00:28:15Super kick by the Queen.
00:28:17Oh!
00:28:17And Jade Cargill with a big boot.
00:28:21Chelsea Green now.
00:28:22Tits Cargill outside the ring.
00:28:24It's out for Meech.
00:28:25Meech.
00:28:26Meech.
00:28:26Meech.
00:28:26Roll up.
00:28:27And a kick out.
00:28:29Green with a slap.
00:28:37Chelsea now.
00:28:38Oh!
00:28:38Meech it!
00:28:39Oh my God.
00:28:41Off that Hurricane Rana.
00:28:44I don't know how much damage Chelsea did to herself.
00:28:47But Jade with a puck kick.
00:28:48Chelsea looking for the unpretty her.
00:28:51Oh!
00:28:51Cargill on corner.
00:28:53Went for Jade.
00:28:54And Chelsea with a great counter.
00:28:57Right hand drops B-Fab.
00:28:59Yeah!
00:29:02Jade!
00:29:03Jade!
00:29:18And...
00:29:18Good care!
00:29:21See the disappointment in the eyes of Charlotte Flair.
00:29:27Tiffany Stratton attempting to come to the aid of Chelsea Green.
00:29:31Who had a fantastic counter once for Jade.
00:29:35Dropped B-Fab.
00:29:37Yeah!
00:29:38But Jade Cargill stayed the course.
00:29:41And plants Ms. Green.
00:29:43Yeah!
00:29:43With Jade in the middle of the ring.
00:29:46That had to feel good for Jade Cargill.
00:29:50After what happened at Night of Champions.
00:29:57Ladies and gentlemen, this past Saturday at Night of Champions,
00:30:00Sami Zayn won the WWE Championship.
00:30:02Defeating Cody Rhodes and Gunther in a triple threat match.
00:30:06Then there was an altercation between Gunther and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis.
00:30:12You screwed me over in Europe.
00:30:14You screwed me here.
00:30:15Shut up and I'm talking to you.
00:30:17What is it with you, huh?
00:30:18Is it...
00:30:19Come on, I talked to him.
00:30:20Hey, hey.
00:30:20What is it with you?
00:30:21Is it personal, huh?
00:30:22What is it about you?
00:30:23You know what it is?
00:30:24You're jealous.
00:30:25You would love to be in my position.
00:30:27You're f***ing jealous because you have failed.
00:30:30Hey, hey, hey.
00:30:30You have failed.
00:30:31You have failed.
00:30:32Hey, don't touch me.
00:30:33I told you again.
00:30:34Don't touch me.
00:30:34You get one.
00:30:35What are you going to do, huh?
00:30:35What are you going to do, huh?
00:30:36Get the f*** up for me.
00:30:37Get your f***ing hands up.
00:30:40What are you going to do?
00:30:44Let him do that now.
00:30:50And we have an official statement from WWE Headquarters on this incident.
00:30:55Gunther and Nick Aldis were sent home.
00:30:57Aldis has been placed on administrative leave pending further investigation.
00:31:01And as a result, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce will be running SmackDown for the time period.
00:31:09The last thing I'm gonna do is argue with you.
00:31:12No, Nick, I'm not arguing, because I'm here doing the job you couldn't get done.
00:31:15Goodbye, Nick.
00:31:16Adam, could you please explain what's going on here to me?
00:31:20I mean, I'm the WWE Champion, for starters, and I'm a SmackDown superstar.
00:31:26I don't belong on Raw.
00:31:28That's right.
00:31:28What? Really?
00:31:29Yes.
00:31:30I think the thing you're missing here, Sammy, is I've given you a great opportunity.
00:31:33You can show the world that you can be a great undisputed WWE Champion in a great city, on a
00:31:38great show.
00:31:39Listen, if it makes you feel better, maybe I invite some SmackDown superstars.
00:31:42We make it a great super show.
00:31:43But either way, either way, congratulations.
00:31:47I will see you Monday, and it's gonna be great.
00:31:50It's gonna be great, Sammy.
00:31:51Adam, just hear it.
00:31:52Adam, Adam!
00:32:00Hey!
00:32:02There he is!
00:32:10Oh, Johnny!
00:32:14There it is, baby!
00:32:15I did it!
00:32:17I did it!
00:32:17Didn't I tell you, Johnny?
00:32:18I did it!
00:32:19I did it!
00:32:20Look, man, I gotta be honest with you.
00:32:22I don't know if I win this without you.
00:32:24I really don't.
00:32:25I mean, when I was hitting my low points over the last few months, I feel like you were an
00:32:29ear for me when I needed someone.
00:32:31You understood me when I needed someone.
00:32:35You're like my rock, man.
00:32:38This is the proof right here, Johnny.
00:32:40You wanna get ahead?
00:32:41You wanna win championships around here?
00:32:42You gotta stay true to yourself!
00:32:46You know what?
00:32:47Candace, I'm actually glad you're here.
00:32:50Really?
00:32:50Yeah, yeah.
00:32:51What?
00:32:51Hey, can you take a photo?
00:32:54Yeah, get a picture of old me and Johnny here, would you?
00:32:56Ha-ha!
00:32:58Go portrait.
00:33:00Portrait.
00:33:00Or landscape's fine.
00:33:01Oh, man.
00:33:05Oh, man.
00:33:12Oh, man.
00:33:33Oh.
00:33:34Oh, man.
00:33:38Oh, man.
00:33:39Oh, man.
00:33:40Oh, man.
00:33:42Oh, man.
00:33:42Oh, man.
00:33:42The following contest scheduled for one call is for the AAA Cruiserweight Championship.
00:33:55He is the Triple A Cruiserweight Champion, Ray Phoenix!
00:34:03It's going to be a good one, Corey.
00:34:05Fasten your seatbelts and keep your eyes on the skies.
00:34:10The Triple A Cruiserweight Gold is on the line as Phoenix defends against El Ijo Del Vitingo next.
00:34:21Back here on Friday Night SmackDown, a matchup for the Triple A Cruiserweight Championship.
00:34:27El Ijo Del Vitingo, the reigning Triple A Latin American Champion.
00:34:33You're about to catch a glimpse of what Lucha Libre is all about.
00:34:38Phoenix invite Kingo, meeting for the first time here at WWE, but they have crossed paths before in Triple A.
00:34:45Most former Triple A Mega Champions. Of course, that title currently held by Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:34:51What can we expect in this matchup? First, from the challenger by Kingo.
00:34:54The Kingo is willing to do anything and everything to obtain victory.
00:34:58That's been the biggest change in his personality over the past year or so.
00:35:02The Kingo will take shortcuts. The Kingo will break rules.
00:35:05Look at this, right out of the gate!
00:35:07Shoulders down and a kick out at two by Phoenix.
00:35:09But the Kingo, regardless of his attitude, one of the most spectacular athletes in the game!
00:35:15Case in point!
00:35:17And Phoenix driven into the ropes.
00:35:21Great Phoenix knows what he's getting into in this matchup tonight.
00:35:24How does he keep the Cruiserweight title?
00:35:26Phoenix has to be careful and has to be fully aware that the Kingo will stop at nothing to take
00:35:31his championship.
00:35:34Look at this. Such unique, unorthodox offense from El Hijo del Viquingo.
00:35:40And Ray Phoenix, since capturing the Cruiserweight Championship back at Noche de los Grandes, promised to be...
00:35:47Oh! That's the thing that Ronaldo stole from Viquingo.
00:35:50Oh, Ronaldo did.
00:35:51That's right.
00:35:52Anyway, Phoenix promised, upon becoming Cruiserweight Kingpin, that he would be a fighting champion.
00:35:59That he would raise the status and the perception of the Cruiserweight gold!
00:36:03What a crossbody!
00:36:05And a kick out!
00:36:07Well, Phoenix did just that last week.
00:36:09What a matchup he had with Nathan Fraser.
00:36:11And Phoenix showing no signs of throwing as we take another look at the unbelievable athleticism of a AAA World
00:36:19Cruiserweight Champion.
00:36:22Viquingo sends him into the ropes.
00:36:24Phoenix missed with a kick.
00:36:28Off the hand, catches him!
00:36:30Ace Crusher!
00:36:31Glance! Viquingo!
00:36:33Cover!
00:36:33Almost had him kick it, too!
00:36:36Take another look.
00:36:37And in the blink of an eye, Phoenix can turn the tides of any matchup.
00:36:46It's a matter of seconds before Phoenix takes flight.
00:36:50Oh, and Viquingo!
00:36:52Great move as he catches Phoenix in the apron.
00:36:56Viquingo, so cagey.
00:36:58So crafty.
00:37:01Oh!
00:37:01Now right to the back of the head.
00:37:03And ruthless.
00:37:06That's a great way to describe him.
00:37:10Look at this!
00:37:12And Phoenix take it out!
00:37:15Cruiserweight title from AAA!
00:37:17Up for grabs!
00:37:23AAA Cruiserweight Championship is up for grabs!
00:37:27It is the champion, Rey Fenix, against the challenger, Viquingo.
00:37:31Oh!
00:37:31Nobody home.
00:37:32Kick right to the back of the head.
00:37:35Viquingo in a lot of trouble here.
00:37:37Goodbye, Amigo!
00:37:42Phoenix effortlessly, once again, scaling the ropes.
00:37:48What a fog splash!
00:37:50To the center of the ring!
00:37:52Cover!
00:37:53To retain!
00:37:53And a kick out!
00:37:56Take a look at the height and the distance.
00:38:00Covered by the champion.
00:38:02Full extension.
00:38:03Full impact.
00:38:05Phoenix very nearly ended this one.
00:38:08But Viquingo still has a little too much left in the tank.
00:38:13The champion has his sights set on the son of the Viking.
00:38:16Nobody home.
00:38:17Meteora misses.
00:38:17Big kick by Viquingo.
00:38:22Phoenix collapsing into a heap in the bottom turnbuckle.
00:38:25The challenger looking to push the pace.
00:38:27Into the corner!
00:38:28The Meteora!
00:38:30Vicious.
00:38:31From Viquingo.
00:38:32Could be closing in on the Cruiserweight Championship.
00:38:38Oh, he caught him!
00:38:40Roll through!
00:38:41Hover!
00:38:42And a kick out!
00:38:45So innovative is the challenger.
00:38:48Viquingo got all the kick!
00:38:50Come on, Phoenix!
00:38:56Viquingo may be closing in on the Cruiserweight Championship.
00:39:00Maybe not Ray Phoenix.
00:39:02What a strike!
00:39:08Go!
00:39:09Go!
00:39:10Shots to the ribs.
00:39:12Viquingo recognizing the peril of the situation.
00:39:16Oh my goodness.
00:39:18What on earth does Viquingo have in store here?
00:39:21Oh God!
00:39:22From the ring post!
00:39:24Cover for the championship!
00:39:27And a kick out of two and a half!
00:39:29An unbelievable poison runoff from the ropes!
00:39:37It's almost miraculous Phoenix survives!
00:39:43Indeed it is for the Triple-A Cruiserweight Championship!
00:39:47The challenger now perched on top of the ring post!
00:39:51Wow!
00:39:52Three board, 450, nobody home!
00:39:55Ray Phoenix moved out of harm's way!
00:39:57Oh!
00:39:57Down the knees in the corner!
00:39:59Phoenix, putting Viquingo up!
00:40:02Top rope!
00:40:02Right to the chest!
00:40:05And now Phoenix will get to put him away!
00:40:08Marching around the ring!
00:40:38Mexican muscle buster!
00:40:39There's a meteoroa in the turnbuckle!
00:40:41And the Mexican muscle buster!
00:40:45And still, Triple-A World Cruiserweight Champion, Ray Phoenix!
00:40:52And just a reminder, this is the type of action you will find each and every Saturday night!
00:40:58It's Triple-A!
00:41:05Last week on SmackDown, our main event, Corey Julia, versus her former business associate,
00:41:10Keanu Chainz.
00:41:11Beautiful madness brought her A-game, delivering the Northern Lights bomb to her former business
00:41:19associate, freeing herself from any sort of past association with Keanu Chainz.
00:41:25Unfortunately for Julia, her celebration would be short-lived.
00:41:29Enter the glamour.
00:41:32Blake Monroe bursting onto the SmackDown scene at Julia's expense.
00:41:37Here's Kathy Kelly.
00:41:39Yeah, thanks so much.
00:41:40I'm standing by with Julia.
00:41:43And Julia, last week you didn't even get the chance to celebrate your win over Keanu Chainz
00:41:47before Blake Monroe attacked you.
00:41:50Do you have a message for Blake?
00:41:52I don't back down from any fight.
00:41:56I put Keanu behind me.
00:42:00If Blake Monroe stops being a coward,
00:42:03I will fight her.
00:42:05Anytime, anywhere, anywhere.
00:42:11That's rich, coming from you, Julia.
00:42:15I mean, it would be just like you to bite the hand that feeds you.
00:42:22Listen, you got lucky.
00:42:25I beat you, Keanu!
00:42:27Oh my God!
00:42:28Ah!
00:42:28Keanu!
00:42:31In case you forgot, I'm Blake Monroe,
00:42:34and it's so good to see you, Keanu.
00:42:37Ah!
00:42:38Ah!
00:42:40You know, as fun as that was to watch,
00:42:43let's not forget who's in control here.
00:42:47Ah!
00:42:47What?
00:42:48Ah!
00:42:51It's nice to see you, too.
00:42:53Ah!
00:42:57Blake Monroe again.
00:42:59Well, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next,
00:43:01we'll take a look at what transpired this past Monday
00:43:04between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.
00:43:12WWE would like to give special thanks to Visit Atlantic City.
00:43:17Atlantic City is the destination for life's greatest celebrations.
00:43:21Take it back this past Monday.
00:43:23I'll show you what happened surrounding the world heavyweight title.
00:43:29Hello, my brother.
00:43:31You are in possession of a title that belongs to me.
00:43:38And yes, my brother, it is time to collect.
00:43:44You're the back of the line.
00:43:46You hadn't done anything of late
00:43:49to earn a shot at the tribal chief.
00:43:52When it comes to you,
00:43:54I am always at the front of the line.
00:43:59You have done it all.
00:44:01You have won every title there is to win.
00:44:04You have main evented
00:44:06every show there is to main event.
00:44:11But there is one thing
00:44:12in your career
00:44:14that you have not been able to do.
00:44:20Beat me.
00:44:24I own you.
00:44:28I have owned you
00:44:30since the day
00:44:32I put a steel chair in your back.
00:44:41I took your main event
00:44:43and you couldn't do a damn thing about it.
00:44:51I sacrificed myself
00:44:53so Cody Rhodes
00:44:55could end
00:44:56your reign of terror.
00:45:02Triple threat match.
00:45:04I pin you in the center of this ring
00:45:07and took your wise man.
00:45:1214 years.
00:45:14You and I have been tied together.
00:45:17What do you want your legacy to be?
00:45:21You're right.
00:45:23I don't want to beat you.
00:45:24I need to beat you.
00:45:30And at SummerSlam,
00:45:32that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:45:36Two former teammates.
00:45:39Two bitter rivals.
00:45:41It all culminates
00:45:42at SummerSlam.
00:45:48It is now official
00:45:51at the biggest party
00:45:52of the summer
00:45:53in Minnesota.
00:45:55SummerSlam.
00:45:56The tribal chief,
00:45:57Roman Reigns,
00:45:58defends his world heavyweight championship
00:46:00against the man
00:46:01who never lost that title,
00:46:04Seth
00:46:04Freakin' Rollins.
00:46:08You're the OTC
00:46:09called a play.
00:46:10We're gonna run it.
00:46:11Alright?
00:46:12What's up, Big Jim?
00:46:14What up, Royce?
00:46:17What's up, bro?
00:46:19You can't tap in with nobody?
00:46:21Let me guess.
00:46:23I guess Roman
00:46:24tells Jacob
00:46:26who his partners is now, huh?
00:46:28Hey, man.
00:46:29Speaking of Roman,
00:46:30we're here
00:46:31because the OTC
00:46:32sent us on a mission
00:46:33to bond solo.
00:46:34Now, can you help us?
00:46:35Do you know where he at
00:46:36or do you not know where he at?
00:46:38Because if you don't,
00:46:39we're just gonna handle
00:46:40our family businesses.
00:46:42Family?
00:46:44Blood don't make you family.
00:46:47Loyalty makes you family.
00:46:50I've been your day one
00:46:51for the last 14 years.
00:46:54Right?
00:46:56I've been loyal to you.
00:46:58So guess what?
00:47:00As far as I'm concerned,
00:47:01I'm your family.
00:47:07Not no more.
00:47:09Right, Jacob?
00:47:37Go.
00:48:06Ladies and gentlemen,
00:48:08please welcome the self-proclaimed best man to ever breathe,
00:48:15Lil Yachty, and the United States Champion,
00:48:20Trick Williams.
00:48:26The best man to ever breathe, Michael Cole.
00:48:30You know what a dubious distinction that is.
00:48:32Lil Yachty, my God.
00:48:34Trick Williams, still the United States Champion.
00:48:38After a hell of a battle this past Saturday,
00:48:40a night of champions, the absolute Ricky Sanks.
00:49:05Lil Yachty is out here dressed like Kim Chi.
00:49:08Gotta get me some of those boots.
00:49:09Let's go.
00:49:39What?
00:50:10Oh, this is interesting.
00:50:17Oh, I would never recommend interrupting Lil Yachty or Trick Williams.
00:50:26Carmelo Hayes has done just that.
00:50:30The former United States Champion, I guarantee you, Corey, he was watching Trick and Ricky this past Saturday Night of
00:50:38Champions.
00:50:38Carmelo Hayes, a former United States Champion in his own right, his career deeply intertwined with Trick Williams dating all
00:50:46the way back to their tenure in NXT.
00:50:56That's why I like Carmelo.
00:50:58He's never been afraid to ruffle a few feathers.
00:50:59I'm at the top, give respect while I get there.
00:51:02We're furry this thing.
00:51:04Who got a problem, huh?
00:51:05Tell him to stab your head.
00:51:07Don't be miserable.
00:51:08Yeah!
00:51:09Yeah!
00:51:11Yeah!
00:51:12Yeah!
00:51:14Yeah!
00:51:18All right, Trick.
00:51:21Let's get serious.
00:51:22Let's get to business.
00:51:25Look, on Saturday, Ricky couldn't get the job done.
00:51:29So now it looks like, Atlantic City, we have no other choice but to run it back, you and me,
00:51:39for that United States Championship.
00:51:41If you bout it, bout it.
00:51:47No answer.
00:51:49Okay, you know what?
00:51:49I expected that.
00:51:51But before I go where I gotta go, Trick, you know what?
00:51:54Let me just give you your flowers.
00:51:56Everything that you do, man, it's larger than life.
00:52:00Title looks great on you.
00:52:02The crowd, they love you.
00:52:04You unstoppable.
00:52:06But that's because I haven't decided to stop you yet.
00:52:14I made that championship a championship.
00:52:18You turn that title into an accessory.
00:52:22So if you and Lil Yachty wanna run around here with a title, I get you a discount code on
00:52:29WWE Shop.
00:52:30It's easy.
00:52:34It's easy.
00:52:36Trick.
00:52:37That championship, that's the workhorse championship.
00:52:43That's the match of the night championship.
00:52:46That championship is for guys who are hungry.
00:52:49And it looks like me.
00:52:50You walk around here like you had too much to eat.
00:52:53Let's really talk about it.
00:52:57I'm just getting started.
00:52:59So Trick, I say all that just to say this, man.
00:53:04Prove me wrong.
00:53:05Prove me wrong.
00:53:07Put that title against somebody that knows you better than anybody.
00:53:13Because all this talk about you on track to be one of the greatest US champions of all time.
00:53:19I'm not buying it.
00:53:21Because you might be able to walk the walk and talk the talk when you're in there with them.
00:53:26But the reality is, you got two left feet and a mouth full of marbles once you get in there
00:53:30with him.
00:53:32Ah, my little god, dang!
00:53:34Who are you talking to?
00:53:38Look, this ain't no Willy Nilly Carlo from NXT, okay?
00:53:42This is Trick Willy.
00:53:44The one and only Trick Willy might I need to add the United States champion.
00:53:50And since being caught up to the big leagues, he has been nothing short of pure greatness, okay?
00:53:59Now, I understand you would like a match, right?
00:54:05Atlantic City, should we give this young small man a match?
00:54:18Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:54:21Slow down, all right?
00:54:22Don't blow a blood vessel.
00:54:24We got you, all right?
00:54:25You know what?
00:54:26Matter of fact, next week, you got yourself a match.
00:54:33But it's not for the championship.
00:54:35Relax, all right?
00:54:37hey we gave you that chance you blew it you failed look we're not just gonna keep giving
00:54:41out title shots baby you understand titles are earned not given all right but you are lucky
00:54:47because the champ needs to get his reps in so with that being said you gotta match next week
00:54:53but please understand next week when things get tricky you will have no more excuses as to why
00:55:01you cannot get the job done you know what mellow it's funny i guess with all the history that you

00:57:51they're okay
00:57:55that's a good passion
00:57:57I don't know how long, Cole.
00:58:01And half for the bad emotion.
00:58:04The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:58:09Introducing first, accompanied by Payne.
00:58:13She is one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:58:19WWE Hall of Famer, Brie Bella.
00:58:24For the first time in a decade, Brie Bella's in a one-on-one match.
00:58:30It's Lady Reed next.
00:58:37There we see at main event, Jey Uso preparing for battle.
00:58:41Will it be Jey or will it be Cody Rhodes who heads to Chicago Monday on Raw
00:58:46to challenge the new WWE Champion, Sami Zayn?
00:58:54Went out for the Tag Team Champions, Brie Bella, set for her first one-on-one match
00:58:58in ten years here tonight on SmackDown.
00:59:06I get deep in the night, now we won't let you in.
00:59:12Cause we hold on the light, I'll blind you in night.
00:59:17Been on all the front lines, you can't stay the same.
00:59:22So stay away, you may tell, we'll take hold of this game.
00:59:27And her opponent, representing Fatal Influence, Lainey Reed.
00:59:35Lainey Reed set for one-on-one action here tonight, but let's show you what happened
00:59:39last week on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:59:41It was a homecoming in London for Paige versus J.C. Jane.
00:59:45J.C. Jane representing Fatal Influence.
00:59:47It was a matter of time before Fallon Henley and Lainey Reed would get involved.
00:59:52And it would take Paige's attention off of the task at hand, in which J.C. Jane would
00:59:57attempt to capitalize.
00:59:58However, Paige was able to rely on her veteran experience and turn the table back into her
01:00:04own favor.
01:00:05A disappointing night for Fatal Influence.
01:00:09So Lainey Reed, less than three years since her debut here at WWE, set to go one-on-one
01:00:16with the Hall of Famer, Brie Bella.
01:00:18What Lainey Reed may lack in experience, she overcompensates for in raw physical ability.
01:00:24To your point, this woman is double tough.
01:00:27But Brie Bella certainly has the experience.
01:00:29Oh wow, my goodness.
01:00:31What a left hand to the chin of Brie Bella.
01:00:34I don't even know how Brie is still standing.
01:00:36That's the type of shot that will make you rethink your career path.
01:00:39But Brie Bella explodes out of the corner.
01:00:42And Brie is ticked off.
01:00:44And look at this.
01:00:46Going to separate the shoulder of Lainey Reed.
01:00:48Trying to put this one away early in a kickout by Reed.
01:00:51What a physical battle.
01:00:56Remember Lainey Reed, Bowling Henley, a fatal influence.
01:00:59Couldn't get the job done against Brie and Paige in a tag match a couple of weeks ago.
01:01:04That's belly to back suplex by Reed.
01:01:12And now Lainey Reed tries to drop the elbow as Brie Bella moves out of harm's way.
01:01:17You can't get overconfident when you're dealing with a veteran, let alone a Hall of Famer like Brie Bella.
01:01:23There isn't much in this game.
01:01:24Brie hasn't experienced.
01:01:26She's going to have to rely on that experience.
01:01:29To get past the physically gifted Lainey Reed.
01:01:33And a great strategy is Brie now has turned her focus on the left arm and shoulder of Lainey Reed.
01:01:39I'll tell you, that left hand really set Brie off into a frenzy.
01:01:45Brie was able to weather the storm.
01:01:47You got J.C. Gaines.
01:01:49And Fallon Henley on the outside, cheerleading.
01:01:54Reed now powering Brie Bella up to the top turnbuckle.
01:01:58Oh!
01:01:59And another fierce left from Reed.
01:02:02My God!
01:02:03I think this woman may have knockout power.
01:02:05Brie Bella hanging in there, though.
01:02:07Went out for the tag team champions.
01:02:09Come on, Brie!
01:02:09Come on, Brie!
01:02:12Bela with a missile dropkick.
01:02:18And Paige looking to rally Brie.
01:02:21And here come the yes kicks.
01:02:23I'm sure if Miz had his wits about him in Dan Housen's lab, he would be honored.
01:02:27Has somebody checked on him?
01:02:29Didn't Kit Wilson?
01:02:30Oh!
01:02:32Lady Reed trying to take advantage of the distraction.
01:02:38Brie going to land on her feet.
01:02:41Down goes Reed.
01:02:45Bella rolled through it.
01:02:46Now she's looking for the yes lock.
01:02:48The yes lock is in.
01:02:51Will Lady Reed tap out?
01:02:54Come on, Lady, huh?
01:02:55She's Fallon Henley trying to get the attention of Brie.
01:02:58Bella as Brie continues to crank in the yes lock.
01:03:03And now Paige going to get involved.
01:03:07Down goes Henley.
01:03:10J.C. Jane misses wildly.
01:03:11Paige drives her into the ring post.
01:03:14Oh, what a right.
01:03:15Meanwhile, in the ring, the yes lock still being applied.
01:03:19And now Brie Bella has to let it go to come to the aid.
01:03:21Oh, of her partner.
01:03:24Real influence throwing bombs tonight.
01:03:27And Lady Reed with a running knee.
01:03:30Takes advantage of the numbers.
01:03:32One, two, three, four.
01:03:33And Reed is pin one out for the tag team champion.
01:03:37Here is your winner, Lady Reed.
01:03:45What a win for Lady Reed thanks to the assist from Fallon Henley and J.C. Jane.
01:04:04Here is your winner.
01:04:07Here is your winner.
01:04:10The winner.
01:04:13The winner.

01:11:15Waiting for me to start the show
01:11:18I'm the gun
01:11:20Like the world from home
01:11:23Whoa
01:11:28When I was younger
01:11:31And he's opponent
01:11:33From Atlanta
01:11:35Georgia
01:11:37For 222 times
01:11:40The American
01:11:43Nightmare
01:11:44Cody
01:11:47Rose
01:11:49Very interesting
01:11:50That a few weeks back
01:11:52It was Jey Uso
01:11:53Who was tasked by Roman Reigns
01:11:55With becoming king of the ring
01:11:57So that Jey could be flown
01:12:00The then WWE champion
01:12:01Cody Rhodes. Now Cody
01:12:03Still stands in Jey's path
01:12:05But without the gold tonight
01:12:07A lot of history between
01:12:08These two they were
01:12:10Once tag team champions together
01:12:14Cody and Jey
01:12:16Second time in their career
01:12:18The one on one
01:12:19The one on one in a matchup
01:12:27This could boil down
01:12:29Which of these two superstars is able to compartmentalize
01:12:32Their relationship better
01:12:34You have to let friendship
01:12:36Flip to the back of your mind
01:12:37In fact, forget about it all together
01:12:39Because your friend
01:12:41Because your friend is the only thing left standing between you
01:12:43And a shot at the undisputed
01:12:45WWE title
01:12:46There's also a ton of pressure tonight
01:12:48On Jey Uso
01:12:49Remember the world champion in Roman Reigns
01:12:51As Jey is marching orders to the king of the ring tournament
01:12:53Winning his things
01:12:54He could go on to Summerslam to take on the WWE champion
01:12:57So the bloodline can have all the gold
01:12:59Well Jey lost to Obafemi in the king of the ring
01:13:02So another opportunity tonight
01:13:04For Jey Uso
01:13:04To earn a chance at the WWE title
01:13:08And make Roman's wishes come true
01:13:14So Cody and Jey
01:13:16High stakes matchup in our main event tonight
01:13:18As for Cody Rhodes
01:13:20How did being pinned by Sami Zayn in the triple threat
01:13:22Affect him mentally heading into this matchup?
01:13:25I don't know how badly it affected Cody Rhodes
01:13:28Only that Cody has experienced this position before
01:13:30He has been champion and had it taken from him
01:13:33Cody understands as well as anybody
01:13:35How to get back on the horse
01:13:36Dust yourself off
01:13:37And continue the journey
01:13:39Jey Uso
01:13:40A former world champion in his own right
01:13:42He knows what's at stake here
01:13:44Jey tried to catch Cody
01:13:45Cody looking for an early crossroads
01:13:47Snapmare takedown by Jey and a stare off
01:13:57Cody how do you put Jey away tonight
01:13:59Show Jey something that perhaps he hasn't seen before
01:14:02Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes to your point
01:14:05Know one another so well
01:14:06As former tag team championship partners
01:14:08They've seen just about every play in one another's books
01:14:11The fact is Cody or Jey for that matter
01:14:13Has to be the first to show a new look
01:14:16Run a different play
01:14:17Throw your opponent off guard
01:14:19Jey sent into the corner
01:14:21And Jey Uso had a great performance against Obafemi
01:14:24And a losing cause
01:14:25Wait a minute
01:14:25Cody slipped off the apron
01:14:27And Jey Uso gonna make a pay down
01:14:29With a suicide dive
01:14:31Jey Uso has taken over
01:14:38This has been a physical matchup since the get go
01:14:41Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso
01:14:43Winner goes to Raw Monday night
01:14:44By Sami Zayn
01:14:45The brand new WWE champion
01:14:47Pay! Pay!
01:14:50Pay!
01:14:50Here comes the main event
01:14:51Jey Uso fighting his way back into this thing
01:14:54But Cody dropped down with the right hand
01:14:57Rhodes who lost the WWE title last Saturday night
01:15:01That night of champions
01:15:05And a Cody cutter
01:15:08Rhodes into the cover
01:15:11And Jey Uso kicks out at 2
01:15:20Jey Uso needs to figure a way back into this thing
01:15:23I think Jey may have tweaked his ankle a bit
01:15:25He's been favoring it here
01:15:27Snapbear take that
01:15:28Now a Samoa drop to Cody
01:15:30Yeah I agree with you Cole
01:15:31Is off of this suicide dive to the outside
01:15:33Jey hasn't quite been the same competitor in the moment since
01:15:37And I fully expect Cody
01:15:39To have taken notice of that situation
01:15:42The American nightmare laid out here on our
01:15:44Announce table
01:15:45His main event Jey Uso making his way as well
01:15:48And Jey Uso now
01:15:49Runs into a kick by Rhodes
01:15:51Jey now sent over the announce table into the floor
01:15:54And now Cody Rhodes
01:15:56Cleaning up our announce table here
01:15:58Cody understands the assignment
01:16:00This is what it's gonna take
01:16:01Oh no, no, no, no
01:16:01You can't show any mercy
01:16:03When there's a title shot on the line
01:16:07Cody Rhodes hitting the announce table
01:16:09Hard
01:16:10And now
01:16:10Main event Jey Uso vicious in his attack
01:16:20And Jey now looking to pull out all the stops
01:16:23Uso went for the suicide dive
01:16:25Cody caught him with the right hand
01:16:28Oh
01:16:29Now launching main event into the timekeepers area
01:16:33Cody doing everything he can here
01:16:35Launching himself off the barricade
01:16:37And down goes Uso
01:16:40This fight is spilling out everywhere
01:16:45The official Dan Engler with his hands full here tonight
01:16:50And this is exactly what both Cody and Jey should have expected
01:16:54Neither man letting up
01:16:56Ooh, both men down
01:16:59This is to determine who's the number one contender for the WWE title
01:17:09The winner of this match heads to Monday Night Raw
01:17:11For a WWE Championship opportunity against Sami Zayn
01:17:15Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso
01:17:17In a physical battle here tonight
01:17:19In our main event on Friday Night SmackDown
01:17:21Rough landing for Cody
01:17:23Here comes Jey
01:17:24Uso splash
01:17:26Cover
01:17:27Is it enough?
01:17:29Cody kicks out
01:17:33Take another look at this
01:17:34Jey Uso
01:17:35Soaring through the skies
01:17:37Full impact on the Uso splash
01:17:41Perhaps not the best cover
01:17:43Executed by Uso
01:17:45Otherwise this one may be over
01:17:47The official in this matchup
01:17:48Dan Engler
01:17:49The man who counted the 1-2-3
01:17:51For Sami Zayn over Cody Rhodes this past Saturday
01:17:54In the triple threat match
01:17:55Cody with a kick now to Jey
01:17:57Gonna head up to the top rope
01:17:59Looking for a massive Cody Cutter
01:18:01Is this enough to send a reward?
01:18:04And a kick out by Jey
01:18:12Try not to get frustrated here
01:18:15Hasn't been able to put Uso away
01:18:27Oh!
01:18:29Ran into a kick of his own
01:18:31Spear!
01:18:33Jey Uso!
01:18:34Going to Chicago!
01:18:36No!
01:18:39And that's a heartbreaker for main event Jey Uso
01:18:44Delivering a spear
01:18:45The crown of his head
01:18:47Right into the ribcage
01:18:48Of Cody Rhodes
01:18:49But the American Nightmare
01:18:51Kicks out
01:18:56Critical point in this matchup
01:19:00Both of these men
01:19:02Have put their bodies through hell here tonight
01:19:06All in the name of an opportunity
01:19:09One chance to become undisputed WWE Champion
01:19:13For Cody Rhodes again
01:19:15For Jey for the very first time
01:19:17Cody rolls out of hearts
01:19:18Cody it's a spear
01:19:21On Jey!
01:19:22Now he's got him where he wants him
01:19:25Crossroads by Cody
01:19:27Cover!
01:19:29Cody almost had him and a kick out by Jey
01:19:32And now Cody's gotta be questioning himself
01:19:35What do I need to do to put Jey away?
01:19:40Ask those questions later Cody
01:19:42Keep your foot on the gas pedal
01:19:46Rhodes cannot allow doubt to creep into his mind at this juncture
01:19:51Cody knows what it means to be in the main event
01:19:54Cody knows what it means to be QB1
01:19:57And now is not the time for an internal crisis
01:20:02Not quite sure what Cody's planning to do here
01:20:06It looks to me like Cody's feeling desperate
01:20:11Cody hit it all the way up to the top rope
01:20:17Rhodes with his last
01:20:18Knees up by Jey
01:20:20Rolls up Cody
01:20:21Is it enough?
01:20:22Cody kicks at it too
01:20:25Another near fall
01:20:28High pressure here
01:20:32The high risk that backfired on Rhodes
01:20:35Jey with the presence of mind to get both knees up
01:20:39They also never know
01:20:40When you're gonna get another championship opportunity
01:20:43A world title opportunity
01:20:48One of these men will earn one tonight
01:20:59Both Rhodes and Uso looking to empty their tanks in the middle of the ring
01:21:04That's how valuable an undisputed title opportunity is
01:21:09The chance at immortality
01:21:15Cody wants an opportunity to become a four-time champion
01:21:18And now Jey Uso trying to lock in the sleeper
01:21:21The move that won the world title at WrestleMania
01:21:28Is Cody fading?
01:21:31Nope
01:21:32Jey lands on his feet
01:21:38On a roll by Uso
01:21:40Cody able to turn it around at least momentarily
01:21:42Now backed up into the corner
01:21:44Jey trying to lock it in again
01:21:48Jey wanted the sleeper hold
01:21:50Look to adjust into it
01:21:52Perhaps a dragon sleeper
01:21:54Maybe even a crossroads
01:21:55Speaking of
01:21:58Crossroads again by Cody
01:22:02Rhodes with the cover
01:22:04Cody Rhodes
01:22:06Is gonna get a WWE title opportunity
01:22:10Here is your winner
01:22:12The American Nightmare
01:22:16Cody Rhodes
01:22:20For the first time in his career
01:22:23Sami Zayn
01:22:24Will understand what it feels like to be the hunted
01:22:28Because the former champion
01:22:30The American Nightmare
01:22:32Cody Rhodes
01:22:33Was able to slip past a very game
01:22:37Jey Uso tonight
01:22:39Rhodes is headed to the second city
01:22:42Intent on reclaiming the undisputed WWE Championship
01:22:47The stage is set
01:22:49Monday night on Raw
01:22:51From Chicago
01:22:53Cody
01:22:55Sami
01:22:56With the undisputed WWE Championship
