00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:31The following contest is a Triple Threat match called the Undisputed WWE Championship.
00:00:39Thrones the 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 launched the closest to friends, now fighting it for the biggest
00:00:58prize 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.
00:01:23And Cody, is he gonna look for one more on Sammy?
00:01:30Oh my God!
00:01:34A lot of folks said, I would never win the WWE Championship.
00:01:41A miracle in Riyadh.
00:01:44But I stand here tonight, in front of my people.
00:01:48Honey for Riyadh!
00:01:49New Undisputed!
00:01:53WWE Champion!
00:02:19Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the new undisputed WWE Champion.
00:02:48Ladies and gentlemen, you saw it just moments ago.
00:02:51The miracle that missed past Saturday, that night of champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
00:02:58On his 10th slide, after a quarter of a century in the business,
00:03:02Sami 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.
00:04:21It 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,
00:04:46the overwhelming reaction, the love that I've gotten over the last few days since winning this,
00:04:51it's really touched me from the bottom of my heart.
00:04:54I mean that.
00:05:03But the whole thing is really kind of funny considering for the past six months,
00:05:08I've come out here and I'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
00:05:23Sami Zayn as the WWE Champion.
00:05:27But then they decided, oh, this guy's never going to do it.
00:05:30They jumped off the bandwagon.
00:05:32They turned their backs on me.
00:05:35They wanted to boo me.
00:05:36But now I have this.
00:05:38So 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
00:05:47to kiss my ass.
00:05:55But I won't.
00:05:58But I won't.
00:05:59And you want to know why?
00:06:02Because I am a good guy.
00:06:08And that is the same reason why I'm holding this.
00:06:13Because I never changed.
00:06:15Everyone told me if you want to win, you have to be a bit more selfish.
00:06:19You need to be a bit more cutthroat.
00:06:21You need to do some things you don't want to do.
00:06:25And I didn't.
00:06:26I won this the way I always said I would win it.
00:06:29I did it my way.
00:06:31I did it the right way.
00:06:39And I could be petty.
00:06:41Trust me, I could be petty.
00:06:42And I could tell every single one of those people that said,
00:06:45oh, he's not championship material.
00:06:48He'll never win the big one.
00:06:50I could very easily tell each and every single one of them
00:06:54to kiss my ass.
00:07:04But I won't.
00:07:07I won't.
00:07:08Because this is a celebration, people.
00:07:12Huh?
00:07:13Am I right?
00:07:15Am I right?
00:07:16Am I right?
00:07:20And do you know what it is we're celebrating here tonight?
00:07:34You're damn right, Sammy.
00:07:37We are celebrating me.
00:07:40We are celebrating the new WWE Champion.
00:07:44We 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.
00:07:54I will forever be known now as Sami Zayn, WrestleMania main eventer,
00:08:03Grand Slam Champion.
00:08:08And till 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,
00:08:23ever take that away from me.
00:08:30Wrestling has more than one, Royal Family.
00:08:35And no amount of hate, no amount of hate, no amount of hate, no amount of hate, no amount of
00:08:55hate.
00:08:55Do it all to get them off the beat.
00:09:01Crowd is here about to blow.
00:09:04Waiting for me to start the show.
00:09:07I'm the guy like the one for the most.
00:09:12Whoa!
00:09:19Well, the man who was the WWE Champion.
00:09:26Cody Rhodes, hit by Sami Zayn in the Triple Threat Match this past Saturday night.
00:09:33And as for Sami Zayn, Corey Graves, not quite the celebratory speech that I was expecting from the Champion.
00:09:42Listen, Sami Zayn has more than earned the right to air his grievances.
00:09:46He is now the Kingpin here on SmackDown.
00:09:50And 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.
00:10:00Hear the crowd on his toes, ready for me to start the show.
00:10:07As the cutting lights go off, I'm home.
00:10:12Whoa!
00:10:14When I was dead, when I was younger.
00:10:20I got a piece of a chamber.
00:10:23I got a piece of the thing to do.
00:10:25I took it all away.
00:10:27I give it all away.
00:10:29Today we're looking good.
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, just drop the axe 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.
00:12:30Now 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
00:13:13go on to take 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, hey, hey, hey.
00:13:30This don't go down now.
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 because 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?
00:14:48The family?
00:14:50Do 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.
00:16:02As far as I'm concerned, it's still in the family.
00:16:07And it's going to stay on my shoulders.
00:16:11No one's touching this.
00:16:12You understand?
00:16:14No 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.
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 time in
00:16:44a very long time, and it feels pretty damn good, I am the acting general manager of SmackDown.
00:16:52Which is big for you, Sammy, because that means my first order 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, I 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 after Jey
00:17:50Uso battles Cody Rhodes tonight in Atlantic City.
00:18:03A high-stakes matchup tonight in our main event.
00:18:07Cody and Jey 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 this past weekend.
00:18:20More on that story a bit later on.
00:18:21Hey, everybody, Michael Cole, Corey Graves filling in with Joe Tessitore 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 Sammy Zayn for the undisputed WWE Championship.
00:18:36Will it be Jey 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 development, 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.
00:19:19Sorry, 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.
00:19:33And I 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 owe you.
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?
00:20:52All hail the Queen.
00:20:56All hail the Queen.
00:20:57All hail the Queen.
00:21:16The problem is a six-woman tag team match scheduled for one ball.
00:21:23Introducing face from the Queen City, Charlotte Flair.
00:21:31Well, the 14-time world champion, Charlotte Flair teams up with Tiffany Stratton and
00:21:37Chelsea Green against Jade Cargill and her minions, Maddie Cole, Maddie, next.
00:21:51And their tag team partner,
00:21:53she is the Women's United States Champion.
00:22:01Tiffany Stratton.
00:22:02Well, Tiffany and Chelsea seem to get along now, but I'm not sure if Charlotte Flair
00:22:06is brought 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 co-exist?
00:22:16Will she be able to get past this challenge?
00:22:19That remains to be seen.
00:22:20Let's see what happens.
00:22:22A storm is coming.
00:22:47And to the opponents, the team of Meat Chain, B-Fab, and Shane.
00:22:55Cargill!
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, B-Fab 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-Fab, Meachin, and Jade
00:23:30Cargill.
00:23:31That team, Jade Cargill and company, actually knocked off the team of Charlotte and Alexa
00:23:36and 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 SmackDown.
00:24:01Tiffany Stratton driving Jade toward the corner.
00:24:03And a tag made, and here comes Meachin.
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.
00:24:19Meachin turns him around, pinning combination and a kick out.
00:24:28Now Meachin has taken over.
00:24:30She's picking up a lot of the traits that Jade Cargill has.
00:24:33I just want to say, the alliance formed between Meachin, B-Fab, and Jade Cargill has certainly
00:24:38done wonders for the careers of B-Fab and Meachin.
00:24:41They say the rising tide range of all ships.
00:24:44That's what we're seeing right in front of us.
00:24:46Runner 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, backs up into the corner.
00:25:01Tag was made, and the Queen Charlotte Flair is now legal.
00:25:05Charlotte the 14th time world champion with a cross body.
00:25:10Flair with a boot to Cargill.
00:25:13Now a right hand to Meachin.
00:25:16And B-Fab into the corner.
00:25:19Backs up into Charlotte.
00:25:20Charlotte catches her with a kick.
00:25:23B-Fab right under the chin.
00:25:26Boom!
00:25:28And Charlotte.
00:25:30Through a tip up.
00:25:33Oh, like a one over the wrecking pool right now.
00:25:35Taking out all three opponents.
00:25:37Oh, yeah, baby!
00:25:41A chock, stunning B-Fab driving her to the corner.
00:25:44Oh!
00:25:49Oh!

00:31:11the time, D.
00:31:13The last thing I'm gonna do is argue with D.
00:31:16No, Nick, I'm not arguing because I'm here doing the job you couldn't get done.
00:31:20Goodbye, Nick.
00:31:21Adam, could you please explain what's going on here?
00:31:25I mean, well, I'm the WWE Champion, for starters, and I'm a SmackDown superstar.
00:31:31I don't belong on Raw.
00:31:32What, really?
00:31:33Yes.
00:31:34I think the thing you're missing here, Sammy, is I've given you a great opportunity.
00:31:37You can show the world that you can be a great undisputed WWE Champion in a great city,
00:31:42on a great show.
00:31:43Listen, if it makes you feel better, maybe I invite some SmackDown superstars.
00:31:46We make it a great super show.
00:31:47But either way, either way, congratulations.
00:31:51I will see you Monday, and it's gonna be great.
00:31:55It's gonna be great, Sam.
00:31:56Adam, just hear me.
00:31:57Adam, Adam!
00:32:04Hey.
00:32:06There he is.
00:32:14Oh, Johnny.
00:32:18There it is, baby!
00:32:20I did it!
00:32:21I did it!
00:32:22Didn't I tell you, Johnny?
00:32:23I did it!
00:32:24I did it!
00:32:24Look, man, I gotta be honest with you.
00:32:26I don't know if I win this without you.
00:32:28I really don't.
00:32:29I mean, when I was hitting my low points over the last few months,
00:32:32I feel like you were an ear for me when I needed someone.
00:32:36You understood me when I needed someone.
00:32:39You're like my rock, man.
00:32:43This is the proof right here, Johnny.
00:32:44You wanna get ahead.
00:32:45You wanna win championships around here.
00:32:47You gotta stay true to yourself.
00:32:50You know what?
00:32:52Candice, I'm actually glad you're here.
00:32:54Really?
00:32:55Yeah, yeah.
00:32:55What?
00:32:55Hey, can you take a photo?
00:32:58Yeah, get a picture of old me and Johnny here, would you?
00:33:01Ha-ha!
00:33:02Go portrait.
00:33:04Portrait.
00:33:05Rideskate's fine.
00:33:09Oh, man.
00:33:45The following contest scheduled for one call is for the Triple A Cruiserweight Championship.
00:33:55Introducing first from E-Catapec Mexico, he is the Triple A Cruiserweight Champion, Ray Phoenix.
00:34:08It's gonna be a good one, Corey.
00:34:10Fasten your seat belts and keep your eyes on the skies.
00:34:13The Triple A Cruiserweight Gold is on the line as Phoenix defends against El Ijo Del Viquingo.
00:34:20Next.
00:34:25Back here on Friday Night SmackDown, a matchup for the Triple A Cruiserweight Championship.
00:34:30And El Ijo Del Viquingo, the reigning Triple A Latin American Champion.
00:34:36You're about to catch a glimpse of what Lucha Libre is all about.
00:34:42Phoenix invite Kingo, meeting for the first time here in WWE that they have crossed paths before in Triple A.
00:34:49Most former Triple A Mega Champions.
00:34:51Of course, that title currently held by Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:34:55What can we expect in this matchup?
00:34:56First from the challenger by Kingo.
00:34:58The Kingo is willing to do anything and everything to obtain victory.
00:35:02That's been the biggest change in his personality over the past year or so.
00:35:05The Kingo will take shortcuts.
00:35:07The Kingo will break rules.
00:35:09Look at this.
00:35:09Right out of the gate.
00:35:10Shoulders down and a kick out at two by Phoenix.
00:35:13But the Kingo, regardless of his attitude,
00:35:16one of the most spectacular athletes in the game.
00:35:19Case in point.
00:35:21And Phoenix driven into the ropes.
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
00:35:33Viquingo will stop at nothing to take his championship.
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
00:35:47back at Noche de los Grandes, promised to be...
00:35:50Oh!
00:35:51That's the thing that Ronaldo stole from Di Kingo.
00:35:54Oh, Ronaldo did.
00:35:55That's right.
00:35:56Anyway, Phoenix promised upon becoming Cruiserweight Kingpin
00:36:00that he would be a fighting champion.
00:36:02That he would raise the status and the perception of the Cruiserweight gold.
00:36:07Wow!
00:36:07What a cross body.
00:36:09And a kick out.
00:36:10Well, Phoenix did just that last week.
00:36:12What a matchup he had with Nathan Fraser.
00:36:15And Phoenix showing no signs of throwing as we take another look
00:36:18at the unbelievable athleticism of a Triple-A World Cruiserweight Champion.
00:36:26Viquingo sends him into the ropes.
00:36:28Phoenix missed with a kick.
00:36:31On the hand string.
00:36:32On the hand string.
00:36:33This time he catches him.
00:36:33A crusher.
00:36:35Glanced by Kingo.
00:36:36Cover.
00:36:37Almost had him kick at two.
00:36:39Take another look.
00:36:41And in the blink of an eye, Phoenix can turn the tides of any matchup.
00:36:49And it's a 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!
00:37:18Cruiserweight title from Triple-A up for grabs.
00:37:27Triple-A Cruiserweight Championship is up for grabs.
00:37:31It is the champion, Ray Phoenix, against the challenger, Viquingo.
00:37:34Oh!
00:37:35Nobody home.
00:37:35Kick right to the back of the head.
00:37:39Viquingo in a lot of trouble here.
00:37:41Good tie, 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!
00:37:56To retain!
00:37:57And a kick out!
00:38:00Take a look at the height and the distance.
00:38:03Covered 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.
00:38:19Nobody home.
00:38:20Meteor misses.
00:38:21Big kick by Viquingo.
00:38:25Phoenix 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!
00:38:47Oh!
00:38:49So innovative is the challenger.
00:38:52Viquingo!
00:38:52Got all the kick!
00:38:54Come on, Phoenix!
00:38:59Viquingo 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!
00:39:14Go!
00:39:16Go!

00:40:00down the knees in the corner

00:48:30The best man to ever breathe, Michael Cole. Do you know what a dubious distinction that is?
00:48:36Lil Yachty, my God.
00:48:38T'Rick Williams, still the United States Champion.
00:48:42After a hell of a battle this past Saturday, a night of champions, the absolute Ricky Sanks.
00:49:09Lil Yachty is out here dressed like Kim Chi.
00:49:12Better get me some of those boots.
00:49:37One, two, three.
00:49:42One, two, three.
00:50:12One, two, three.
00:50:14Oh, this is interesting.
00:50:22I would never recommend interrupting Lil Yachty or Trick Williams.
00:50:29Carmelo Hayes.
00:50:32And done just that.
00:50:34The former United States champion, I guarantee you, Corey, he was watching Trick and Ricky
00:50:40this past Saturday night, a champion.
00:50:43Carmelo Hayes, a former United States champion in his own right.
00:50:46His career deeply intertwined with Trick Williams dating all the way back to their tenures in
00:50:53NXP.
00:51:01That's why I like Carmelo.
00:51:02He's never been afraid to ruffle a few feathers.
00:51:04Next year, I'm at the top, get respect while I get here.
00:51:07We're furry this year.
00:51:08Who's got a problem, huh?
00:51:10Tell him to stay here.
00:51:12Yeah!
00:51:14Yeah!
00:51:16Yeah!
00:51:17Yeah!
00:51:19Yeah!
00:51:27Yeah!
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
00:51:43me, for that United States championship.
00:51:46If you bowed it, bowed it.
00:51:52No answer.
00:51:53Okay, you know what?
00:51:54I expected that.
00:51:56But before I go where I gotta go, Trick, you know what?
00:51:59Let me just give you your flowers.
00:52:01Everything that you do, man, it's larger than life.
00:52:04Title looks great on you.
00:52:06The crowd, they love you.
00:52:08You 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.
00:52:42That 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.
00:53:04Trick.
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 US 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 little 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.
00:53:48The one and only Trick Willy might I need to add the United States champion.
00:53:55And since being called up to the big leagues, he has been nothing short of pure greatness, okay?
00:54:04Now, I understand.
00:54:06You would like a match, right?
00:54:09Atlantic City, should 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.
00:54:30You 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?
00:55:14You 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.
00:55:36What a backhand from Williams.
00:55:43And Carmelo can get a chance at revenge next Friday night, Corey.
00:55:50Carmelo can prove that he truly is him.
00:55:53But it is a tall pass in the form.
00:55:56Wait a minute!
00:55:57Oh!
00:55:58Carmelo Hayes takes out Trent Williams!
00:56:00Wait a minute!
00:56:01Why wait till next week?

00:56:22By-con guts during the fight.
00:56:28Am I bleeding?
00:56:30Oh, Dan Housen, that would be wonderful.
00:56:32Because I don't have any of it, I don't know who I'm going to ask.
00:56:35Hey, Dan 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, Dan Housen hasn't taken care of it.
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, I don't know.
00:56:50Anyway, I'm going to wrestle him at Saturday night's main event at Madison Square.
00:56:56Got it.
00:56:56Hope you need any backup from your guy.
00:56:58No need, I just got back up on the phone, you saw.
00:57:02Invisible backup?
00:57:03No, he's real, he's from New York.
00:57:05I'm going to take a train down there, I'm going to meet him.
00:57:07I'm going to explain the whole plan to him, it's going to be great.
00:57:10It does sound great, yeah.
00:57:11Yeah, actually, you know what, since you're here, I have something for you.
00:57:13You can help Dan Housen finish his new experiment.
00:57:16You just have to twist that.
00:57:17No, why 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.
00:57:23See?
00:57:26What?
00:57:26What's going on?
00:57:27Oh, what?
00:57:28Hey, what is this?
00:57:29Wow!
00:57:29This isn't supposed to be happening around.
00:57:31What is this?
00:57:32Ah, the Judgment Day must have sabotaged my experiment.
00:57:36I got to go, Zack Ryder.
00:57:38You're not in charge of me.
00:57:40You're not a buzzer.
00:57:41Oh, my God, buzzer.
00:57:43Take care, smug your hair.
00:57:46Stop!
00:57:49Somebody save those guys.
00:57:56They're okay.
00:58:00Have some compassion.
00:58:02You know me how long, Paul.
00:58:05And have some good that emotion.
00:58:09The following contest is scheduled for one of all.
00:58:14Introducing first, a company by Payne.
00:58:18She is one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:58:23WWE Hall of Famer, Brie Bella.
00:58:30For the first time in a decade, Brie Bella's in a one-on-one match.
00:58:35Gets Lady Ribe next.
00:58:39There 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?
00:58:56Went out for the Tag Team Champions, Brie Bella, set for her first one-on-one match in 10 years,
00:59:02here tonight on SmackDown.
00:59:09I get deep in the night, no, we won't let you in.
00:59:14Cause we hold on the light, how blood you ignite.
00:59:20And I know the profile, you can't stay the same.
00:59:25Don't stay away, you may tell.
00:59:27We'll take hold of this game.
00:59:29And 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
00:59:43Night 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.
01:00:32Oh, wow.
01:00:33My 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 kickout by Reed.
01:00:54What a physical battle.
01:00:59Remember, Lainey Reed, Fallon Henley, a Fatal Influence.
01:01:01Couldn't get the job done against Brie and Paige in a tag match a couple of weeks ago.
01:01:07Nice belly to back suplex by Reed.
01:01:14And now Lainey Reed tries to drop the elbow as Brie Bella moves out of harm's way.
01:01:20You can't get overconfident 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 as Brie now has turned her focus on the left arm and shoulder of Lainey Reed.
01:01:41I'll tell you, that left hand really sent 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.
01:02:00Oh, and another fierce left from Reed.
01:02:04My God, I think this woman may have knockout power.
01:02:08Brie Bella hanging in there, though.
01:02:10Went out for the tag team champions.
01:02:14Bella with a missile drop kick.
01:02:21And Paige looking to rally Brie.
01:02:23And here come the yes kicks.
01:02:26I'm sure if Miz had his wits about him in Dan Housen's lap, he would be honored.
01:02:30Has somebody checked on him?
01:02:32And Kit Wilson.
01:02:33Oh!
01:02:35Lainey Reed trying to take advantage of the distraction.
01:02:41Reed 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 Lainey Reed tap out?
01:02:57Come on, Lainey, huh?
01:02:58Ballon Henley trying to get the attention of Brie Bella.
01:03:01As Brie continues to crank in the yes lock.
01:03:06And now Paige going to get involved.
01:03:10Down goes Henley.
01:03:12J.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 well.
01:03:20Rose being applied, and now Brie Bella has to let it go.
01:03:23To come to the aid of her partner.
01:03:27J.L.
01:03:27Lainey's throwing bombs tonight.
01:03:30And Lainey Reed with a runny knee.
01:03:33Takes advantage of the numbers.
01:03:35One, two, three.
01:03:36And Reed has pinned one out for the tag team champions.
01:03:40Here is your winner, Lainey Reed.
01:03:48What a win for Lainey Reed, thanks to the assist from Fallon Henley and J.C. Jane.
01:04:00NATO influence.
01:04:02Big win for Reed tonight.
01:04:08What's the word we're talking about?
01:04:11We're out of time.
01:04:13The winner.
01:04:13Who is the winner?
01:04:14Our truth.
01:04:15Yes!
01:04:16Yes!
01:04:17Once again, the USA has beat England.
01:04:21Happy birthday, America!
01:04:23USA!
01:04:24USA!
01:04:25Tomorrow, truth, tomorrow.
01:04:27That's what I said, dog.
01:04:27I think I'm going to be sick.
01:04:29I thought you were fast, dude.
01:04:30Yeah, not today, amigo.
01:04:31Hey, man, I think you're a little too good at this.
01:04:33I love eating, dog.
01:04:35You should try it.
01:04:36Some ketchup on it.
01:04:37Priest!
01:04:37True!
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 it, 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.
01:04:59Dairy DeBee tag title.
01:05:01All for a hot dog eating contest.
01:05:04Get your throat ready.
01:05:05Let's do this, dog.
01:05:06Yeah, the people every week are the same.
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 essay.
01:05:28Little Jimmy, come on to lose.
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 Oba Femi on Raw
01:05:47this past 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.
01:06:08Ladies and gentlemen, your 2026 King of the Ring, Oba Femi.
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.
01:06:44I 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.
01:06:57Brock Lesnar.
01:06:57When I'm not here, you call Brock Lesnar a...
01:07:02You've got a pretty big decision to make.
01:07:04Maybe I can rub you out with that.
01:07:08You know what they say.
01:07:12Talk s***.
01:07:14Get hit.
01:07:26Hey!
01:07:27You said I called you names behind your back.
01:07:32Well, guess what?
01:07:33You're in front of me, and you're still in.
01:07:38Me and you, one-on-one, Oba Femi versus Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.
01:07:46I accept, Oba, but here's one 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, Oba Femi, locked inside the steel structure known as hell in a cell at
01:08:15SummerSlam.
01:08:16What's happening?
01:08:18We was in the race, we lapped up.
01:08:19Better feelings go, we didn't know.
01:08:23Hey, Cody.
01:08:25Ben.
01:08:26What's up, mate?
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 a new.
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?
01:08:56So 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?
01:09:05Yeah!
01:09:06Oh, fuck!
01:09:09Yeah!
01:09:13I'm closing the books on everything from my past.
01:09:18And you're next.
01:09:39Please, please, come on, use it!
01:09:42Oh, yeah!
01:09:43Oh, my!
01:09:45Peace!
01:10:04It is time for our main event!
01:10:07Who will head to Chicago to challenge Sami Zayn this Monday on RAW?
01:10:13Will it be main event Jey Uso or the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes?
01:10:23We are set for our main event here tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.
01:10:27Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes, the winner to face Sami Zayn for the WWE Championship Monday
01:10:35night on RAW from Chicago.

01:11:54It was Jey Uso who was cast by Roman Reigns
01:11:58With becoming King of the Rings
01:11:59So that Jey could deflone the then WWE Champion
01:12:04Cody Rhodes
01:12:05Now Cody still stands in Jey's path
01:12:07But without the gold tonight
01:12:09A lot of history between these two
01:12:12They were once Tag Team Champions together
01:12:16Cody and Jey
01:12:18The second time in their career
01:12:20They'll go one-on-one in a matchup
01:12:30This could boil down
01:12:31Which of these two superstars is able to compartmentalize their relationship better
01:12:36You have to let friendship slip to the back of your mind
01:12:40In fact, forget about it altogether
01:12:42Because your friend is the only thing left standing between you
01:12:46And 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
01:12:53Dave Jey is marking orders in the King of the Ring tournament
01:12:56Winnias thinks he can go on to SummerSlam to take on the WWE Champion
01:13:00So the bloodline can have all the 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
01:13:10And make Roman's wishes come true
01:13:16So Cody and Jey
01:13:18High-stakes matchup in our main event tonight
01:13:20As for Cody Rhodes
01:13:22How did being pinned by Sami Zayn in the triple threat
01:13:24Affect him mentally heading into this matchup?
01:13:27I don't know how badly it affected Cody Rhodes
01:13:30Only that Cody has experienced this position before
01:13:33He has been champion
01:13:34And had it taken from him
01:13:35Cody understands as well as anybody
01:13:37How to get back on the horse
01:13:39Dust yourself off
01:13:40And continue the journey
01:13:41Jey 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
01:13:48Cody looking for an early crossroads
01:13:50Snap there, a takedown by Jey and a stare-off
01:13:59Cody, how do you put Jey away tonight?
01:14:01Show Jey something that perhaps he hasn't seen before
01:14:04Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes, to your point
01:14:07Know one another so well
01:14:08As former tag team championship partners
01:14:10They've seen just about every play in one another's books
01:14:13The fact is, Cody, or Jey for that matter
01:14:16Has to be the first to show a new look
01:14:19Run a different play
01:14:20Throw your opponent off guard
01:14:21Jey sent him to the corner
01:14:23And Jey Uso had a great performance against Obafemi
01:14:26And a losing cause
01:14:27Wait a minute
01:14:28Cody slipped off the apron
01:14:29And Jey Uso gonna make a pay now
01:14:31With a suicide dive
01:14:33Jey Uso has taken over
01:14:40This has been a physical matchup since the get-go
01:14:43Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso
01:14:45Winner goes to Raw Monday night
01:14:46And plays Sami Zayn
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
01:15:03At night of champions
01:15:07And 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
01:15:27He's been favoring it here
01:15:29Snap there take that
01:15:30Now a Samoa drop to Cody
01:15:32Yeah I agree with you Cole
01:15:33It was off of this suicide dive to the outside
01:15:35Jey hasn't quite been the same competitor in the moment since
01:15:39And I fully expect Cody
01:15:41To have taken notice of that situation
01:15:44The American Nightmare laid out here on our announce table
01:15:48Is main event Jey Uso making his way as well
01:15:50And Jey Uso now runs into a kick by Rhodes
01:15:53Jey now sent over the announce table into the floor
01:15:56And now Cody Rhodes
01:15:58Cleaning up our announce table here
01:16:01Cody understands the assignment
01:16:02This is what it's going to take
01:16:03Oh no, no, no, no
01:16:04You can't show any mercy
01:16:05When there's a title shot on the line
01:16:09Cody 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
01:16:25Uso 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
01:16:35Cody doing everything he can here
01:16:37Launching himself off the barricade
01:16:39And down goes Uso
01:16:42This fight is spilling out everywhere
01:16:48The official Dan Engler with his hands full here tonight
01:16:52And this is exactly what both Cody and Jey should have expected
01:16:56Neither man letting up
01:16:58Both 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
01:17:19In a physical battle here tonight
01:17:21In our main event on Friday Night SmackDown
01:17:24Rough landing for Cody
01:17:25Here comes Jey
01:17:27Uso splash
01:17:28Cover
01:17:29Is it enough?
01:17:31Cody kicks out
01:17:35Take another look at this
01:17:37Jey Uso soaring through the skies
01:17:39Full impact on the Uso splash
01:17:43Perhaps not the best cover
01:17:46Executed by Uso
01:17:47Otherwise this one may be over
01:17:49The official in this matchup
01:17:51Dan Engler
01:17:51The man who counted the 1-2-3
01:17:53For Sami Zayn over Cody Rhodes
01:17:55This past Saturday
01:17:56In the triple threat match
01:17:57Cody with a kick now to Jey
01:18:00Gonna head up to the top rope
01:18:01Looking for a massive Cody cutter
01:18:03Is this enough?
01:18:05The center of the wall
01:18:07And a kick out by Jey
01:18:14Try not to get frustrated here
01:18:16Hasn't been able to put Uso away
01:18:28Went for the disaster kick
01:18:30And ran into a kick of his own
01:18:34Spear!
01:18:35Jey Uso!
01:18:37Going to Chicago!
01:18:39No!
01:18:41And 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
01:18:51Of Cody Rhodes
01:18:52But the American Nightmare
01:18:54Kicks out
01:18:58Critical point in this matchup
01:19:03Both of these men
01:19:05Have put their bodies
01:19:06Through hell here tonight
01:19:09All in the name of an opportunity
01:19:11One chance
01:19:12To become undisputed WWE champion
01:19:16For Cody Rhodes again
01:19:17For Jey
01:19:18For the very first time
01:19:19Cody rolls out of hearts
01:19:21And he has a spear!
01:19:22Cody has a spear
01:19:23On 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 gotta be
01:19:36Questioning himself
01:19:37What do I need to do
01:19:39To put Jey away?
01:19:42Ask those questions later Cody
01:19:44Keep your foot on the gas pedal
01:19:49Rhodes cannot allow doubt
01:19:51To creep into his mind
01:19:52At this juncture
01:19:54Cody knows what it means
01:19:55To be in the main event
01:19:56Cody knows what it means
01:19:58To be QB1
01:19:59And now is not the time
01:20:01For an internal crisis
01:20:04Not quite sure what
01:20:06Cody's planning to do here
01:20:07It looks to me like
01:20:09Cody's feeling desperate
01:20:14Cody hit it all the way up
01:20:15To the top rope
01:20:19Rhodes with a splash
01:20:20But 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
01:20:34High risk that backfired
01:20:36On Rhodes
01:20:37Jey with the presence of mind
01:20:39To get both knees up
01:20:41They also never know
01:20:43When you're gonna get
01:20:44Another championship opportunity
01:20:45A world title opportunity
01:20:50One of these men
01:20:51Will earn one tonight
01:21:02Rhodes and Uso
01:21:04Looking to empty their tanks
01:21:05In the middle of the ring
01:21:06That'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 sleeve
01:21:23The 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
01:21:37On a roll by Uso
01:21:42Cody able to turn around
01:21:44At least momentarily
01:21:45Now backed up into the corner
01:21:46Jey trying to lock it in again
01:21:50Jey wanted a sleeper hold
01:21:53Look to adjust into it
01:21:54Perhaps a dragon sleeper
01:21:56Or maybe even a crossroads
01:21:58Speaking of
01:22:01Crossroads again by Cody
01:22:04Rhodes with the cover
01:22:07Cody Rhodes
01:22:08Is gonna get a WWE title opportunity
01:22:12Here is your winner
01:22:15The American Nightmare
01:22:19Cody Rhodes
01:22:22For the first time in his career
01:22:26Sami Zayn
01:22:27Will understand what it feels like
01:22:30To be the hunted
01:22:31Because the former champion
01:22:33The American Nightmare
01:22:35Cody Rhodes
01:22:36Was able to slip past
01:22:38A fairy game
01:22:40Jey Uso tonight
01:22:42Rhodes is headed to the second city
01:22:45Intent on reclaiming
01:22:47The undisputed WWE championship
01:22:50The stage is set
01:22:52Monday night on Raw
01:22:54From Chicago
01:22:56Cody
01:22:58Sammy
01:22:59For the undisputed WWE championship
01:23:03All the way
01:23:04To take my freedom
01:23:07Here to change the game
01:23:09Of better
01:23:09You
01:23:15You
01:23:18You
01:23:19You
