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!
00:01:57$0!
00:02:04$0!
00:02:11$th!
00:02:13$$! $$! $!
00:02:21Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome the new undisputed WWE Champion,
00:02:30Sami Zayn.
00:02:48Ladies and gentlemen, you saw it just moments ago.
00:02:51The miracle that this past Saturday,
00:02:54that night of champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
00:02:58On his 10th try, after a quarter of a century in the business,
00:03:01Sami 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. He never thought it would happen.
00:03:45And he finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
00:04:08From inside the superstar of the notch,
00:04:18Of course, we were as grands hope and travels with hisã… ã…
00:04:21It seems to me, like a lot of folks out here tonight, came to ride or die with the last
00:04:33real good guy.
00:04:43And I just want to say, before I even get started, the overwhelming reaction, the love that
00:04:48I've gotten over the last few days since winning this, it's really touched me from the bottom
00:04:53of my heart.
00:04:54I mean that.
00:05:03But, the whole thing is really kind of funny considering for the past six months I've come
00:05:08out 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
00:05:22to see Sami 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.
00:05:56But 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 to kiss my ass.
00:07:05But I won't.
00:07:07I won't.
00:07:09Because this is a celebration, people.
00:07:12Huh?
00:07:13Am I right?
00:07:15Am I right?
00:07:19And do you know what it is we're celebrating here tonight?
00:07:34You're damn right, Sammy.
00:07:37We are celebrating me.
00:07:39We are celebrating the new WWE champion.
00:07:45We are celebrating the end of the debate once and for all.
00:07:48I 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.
00:08:08Until the day I die and beyond, I will forever be known as a WWE champion.
00:08:17And no amount of booing, no amount of hate, no amount of noise
00:08:22will ever, ever take that away from me.
00:08:30Wrestling has more than one, Royal Family.
00:08:50Adrenaline, invert soul, every spot out of control.
00:08:55Do it all to get them off the beat.
00:09:01The crowd is here, about to flow, waiting for me to start the show.
00:09:07As the godlights go off of holes.
00:09:12Whoa!
00:09:19Well, the man who was the WWE champion.
00:09:26Cody Rhodes, pinned by Sami Zayn in the Triple Threat match this past Saturday night.
00:09:33And 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.
00:09:58We didn't hear the시.
00:10:01Succeed.
00:10:02I hear the crowd on his toes, ready for me to start the show.
00:10:07As the godlights go off of holes.
00:10:12Whoa!
00:10:14I'm out of this deal
00:10:17When I was younger
00:10:19Pops are pretty better than me
00:10:24Yeah!
00:10:25I hear the shit
00:10:26I give it all away, I give it all away
00:10:29To take my people
00:10:35Oh, Sammy?
00:10:55Cody?
00:10:57So, um
00:11:01What 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
00:11:19To come into the ring and celebrate with me
00:11:22So
00:11:23I didn't want to wait in line
00:11:25I wanted to be the first here
00:11:26As you put it
00:11:28During this celebration
00:11:29To tell you
00:11:33Congratulations
00:11:34Champ
00:11:58Whoa, whoa, 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
00:12:09Let's not do this, okay
00:12:10Let's not play this game
00:12:12For once in your school
00:12:13Just drop the axe for a second, okay
00:12:16Drop the American nightmare
00:12:18Drop the golden boy
00:12:19And just be Cody for one second
00:12:21We both know
00:12:22That's not the only reason you came out here
00:12:25I have something that you once had
00:12:30Now it's mine
00:12:33It's something I know you want
00:12:34It's something I know you are addicted to
00:12:38So 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
00:13:02Exactly why main event
00:13:05Jey Uso is here on SmackDown
00:13:07He had marching orders from Roman Reigns
00:13:10During the King of the Ring Tournament
00:13:12To win and go on
00:13:14To take the WWE Championship
00:13:16So the bloodline could have all the gold
00:13:18That didn't happen
00:13:19Now that Sami Zayn's champion
00:13:21Jey Uso said he was gonna show up here tonight
00:13:23Tell Sami
00:13:24He wanted a shot at the title
00:13:26Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
00:13:29Let's go down now, woo
00:13:31Uh-huh
00:13:32Okay
00:13:33Yeah
00:13:34Okay
00:13:34Yeah
00:13:35Hey, let's get it, woo
00:13:37Hey, I'm about to get it
00:13:40Cody, what up?
00:13:43Come on, dawg
00:13:47Come on
00:13:49Hey
00:14:05I'm not gonna run it back
00:14:08Cause it's about my dawg
00:14:10Sami Zayn right now
00:14:12I'm so proud of you, Uso
00:14:15Man, you earned that
00:14:17You deserved that
00:14:23But
00:14:25You know why I'm here, Uso
00:14:30Bloodline business
00:14:33Sami, this your warning shot
00:14:35I need to bring that gold
00:14:40Back to the family
00:14:44The family?
00:14:46What 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
00:14:55WWE champion
00:14:56And since those days
00:14:57Correct me if I'm wrong
00:14:58You've been world heavyweight champion
00:15:01So at what point
00:15:02Did my friend Jey Uso revert
00:15:05To just running errands
00:15:07For the tribal chief?
00:15:11And besides
00:15:13We were just talking about my rematch
00:15:18Oh, were we?
00:15:19Okay
00:15:19I'm gonna put a stop to this right now
00:15:21We're not doing this, okay?
00:15:24Jey, no one was happier for you
00:15:25Than me
00:15:26When you won the world championship
00:15:29I laid back
00:15:30And Cody, despite what you might think
00:15:31I never came for you
00:15:33I never stabbed you in the back
00:15:34I never gunned for your title
00:15:36You had your chance
00:15:37You had your chance
00:15:39Now it is my time
00:15:43To be WWE champion
00:15:46What was it that you told me, Cody?
00:15:49As long as I have this
00:15:51You never will
00:15:53Well, now it's mine
00:15:56And Jey, what did you say?
00:15:58You said
00:15:58The WWE championship
00:16:00Needs to come back to the family
00:16:01As far as I'm concerned
00:16:03It's still in the family
00:16:07And it's gonna stay
00:16:09On 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
00:16:20Both of you
00:16:23Stay away from me
00:16:30Hold on, hold on
00:16:31Sammy
00:16:32Sammy, actually
00:16:32Hold on
00:16:33Sammy
00:16:34If you don't mind
00:16:36Now I know you're aware
00:16:38All this isn't here
00:16:39You know he got sent home
00:16:40After his little dust up
00:16:41With Gunther
00:16:42Which means
00:16:43For the first time
00:16:44In a very long time
00:16:45And it feels pretty damn good
00:16:46I
00:16:47Am the acting general manager
00:16:49Of Smackdown
00:16:51Which is big for you
00:16:53Sammy
00:16:53Because that means
00:16:54My first order of business
00:16:56Is to find you
00:16:58A challenger
00:17:01With respect, Adam
00:17:03Don't I
00:17:05As champion
00:17:07Have a little bit of say
00:17:08Of who I face
00:17:10At SummerSlam
00:17:15With respect, Sammy
00:17:16Who said anything
00:17:18About SummerSlam
00:17:20Look, I get it
00:17:22If Aldis could bother
00:17:23To show up
00:17:24And do his job
00:17:25He'd probably give you
00:17:25Exactly what you want
00:17:27But Nick's not here
00:17:28I am
00:17:29So we do it my way
00:17:31And that means
00:17:32You will defend
00:17:34That undisputed
00:17:34WWE Championship
00:17:36This Monday
00:17:37On Raw
00:17:41But it gets better
00:17:42Sammy
00:17:43Like I said
00:17:44You're going to have
00:17:45A challenger
00:17:46And we're going to have
00:17:47A number one contender
00:17:49After Jay Uso
00:17:51Battles Cody Rhodes
00:17:52Tonight
00:17:53In Atlantic City
00:18:03A high stakes matchup
00:18:05Tonight in our main event
00:18:07Cody and Jay
00:18:09To battle it out
00:18:10To earn a chance
00:18:11At the championship
00:18:12You heard what Adam Pearce
00:18:14Had to say
00:18:14Nick Aldis
00:18:15Is home pending
00:18:16An investigation
00:18:17After he ran into
00:18:18Gunther this past weekend
00:18:20More on that story
00:18:20A bit later on

00:18:57You could set
00:18:58The record straight
00:18:59Why did you interfere
00:19:00In Jade Cargill's match
00:19:02For that

00:19:04Championship

00:19:30She attacked me
00:19:31Enough
00:19:31Is enough
00:19:32And I get that
00:19:34But I still
00:19:35Wish you told me
00:19:35I mean
00:19:36I'm sitting at home
00:19:36Watching you
00:19:37Pop up on the screen
00:19:38I mean
00:19:38You looked great
00:19:39But still
00:19:39A heads up
00:19:39Would have been nice
00:19:41Lexi
00:19:43It wasn't personal
00:19:44And last week
00:19:45When I was at home
00:19:47Icing my knees
00:19:48Sitting with my mom
00:19:49And her dog
00:19:49I saw you on the screen
00:19:52With Tiffany
00:19:54Look
00:19:54We both know
00:19:55That I'm stubborn
00:19:56Enough to team up
00:19:56With Tiffany
00:19:57For you
00:20:01I never
00:20:03Needed your help
00:20:05But thanks
00:20:06I
00:20:07There you are
00:20:12Jade should be
00:20:13Very worried
00:20:14About us
00:20:15Am I right
00:20:16Am I right
00:20:19You're welcome
00:20:21Ladies
00:20:22I will see you
00:20:23Out there
00:20:24Yeah
00:20:24Yeah
00:20:25Well not before
00:20:26We see you
00:20:28Out there
00:20:29Right
00:20:30Right
00:20:30We'll see you
00:20:31Out there
00:20:31Because we
00:20:32Will be
00:20:32Out
00:20:33There
00:20:35I got it
00:20:36Yes
00:20:37What could possibly
00:20:42Go wrong
00:20:46A lot
00:20:47A lot
00:20:49You got me back
00:20:53All hail the queen
00:20:55All hail the queen
00:21:28Charlotte Flair
00:21:31Well, the 14-time world champion Charlotte Flair teams up with Tiffany
00:21:36Stratton and Chelsea Green against Jade Cargill and her minions, Maddie Cole.
00:21:42Maddie, next.
00:21:51And their tag team partner, she is the Women 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 is
00:22:06brought into this Chelsea Green experience.
00:22:09I've said it for a long, long time.
00:22:12Charlotte Flair works best on her own.
00:22:15Can she co-exist?
00:22:16Will she be able to get past this challenge?
00:22:19That remains to be seen.
00:22:22A storm is coming.
00:22:47And the opponents, the team of Meat Chain, B-Fab, and Shane Cargill.
00:22:57These three have not been kind to Charlotte Flair.
00:23:00Let's take you back to two weeks ago.
00:23:02Charlotte, before her semi-final match up in the Queen of the Ring with Liv Morgan.
00:23:07Backstage, Cargill, Meat Chain, 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 Cargill an opportunity to
00:23:21knock off Tiffany Stratton to the United States Championship.
00:23:24Six women tag team match up, Charlotte Tiffany and Chelsea against B-Fab, Meachin, and Jade Cargill.
00:23:31That team, Jade Cargill and company, actually knocked off the team of Charlotte and Alexa and Rhea Ripley back at
00:23:38Saturday night's main event in May.
00:23:40Sorry, I was thrown off by Chelsea and Tippy trying to do their best to Sophie Cunningham to incite some
00:23:45sort of angst before this matchup.
00:23:47And here we go, the United States Champion, Tiffany Stratton, squaring off against the woman she beat at Night of
00:23:52Champions, Jade Cargill in this matchup.
00:23:54Again, ladies and gentlemen, thanks for spending your holiday weekend with us here tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:24:01Tiffany Stratton driving Jade toward the corner, and 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, Meachin turns him around, pinning combination and a kick out.
00:24:28Now Meachin has taken over, she's picking up a lot of the traits that Jade Cargill has.
00:24:32I just want to say, the alliance formed between Meachin, B-Fab and Jade Cargill has certainly done wonders for
00:24:39the careers of B-Fab and Meachin.
00:24:41They say the rising tide range has all shifted, that'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, Charlotte catches her with a kick.
00:25:23B-Fab right under the chin.
00:25:26Oh!
00:25:27And Charlotte.
00:25:30A little tip up.
00:25:33Oh, and a one-woman wrecking bull right now.
00:25:35Taking off all three opponents.
00:25:37Oh!
00:25:39Oh, yeah baby!
00:25:41A chop, stunning B-Fab driving her to the corner.
00:25:44Oh!
00:25:49Oh!
00:25:50Oh!
00:25:52Oh!
00:25:53Oh!
00:25:54Oh!
00:25:54Oh!
00:25:54Oh!
00:25:55Oh!
00:25:55Oh!
00:25:57Oh!
00:25:58Come on.
00:26:03Yeah.
00:26:05Boom...
00:26:05Get that!
00:26:08Money!
00:26:14Now before the commercial break, Jake Cargill turned the entire complexion of this match around
00:26:21And she took out Charlotte Flair at ringside.
00:26:23And now it's been a three-on-one beatdown.
00:26:27What a way to rebound if you're Jade Cargill
00:26:29after a disappointing night of champions
00:26:31to come in here and pick up a win
00:26:33or at least a dominant showing against Charlotte Flair.
00:26:37That'll raise your stock to an all-time eye to Larry Huyo.
00:26:41All the way slammed by a Stan Cargill
00:26:44who is now mocking Charlotte Flair.
00:26:49I didn't see the mockery.
00:26:50I thought Jade did a fantastic job.
00:26:52And Charlotte goes out of harm's right.
00:26:53Jade Cargill's face first off the turnbuckle.
00:26:56Tag will be made to BFAP.
00:26:57Charlotte trying to make it to the corner
00:26:59and make a tag to her team.
00:27:01Like the urgency being shown by BFAP
00:27:05knowing how important it is to prevent Charlotte
00:27:07from making this tag.
00:27:08It could be the tie turn her team wants.
00:27:10Charlotte at arm's length away
00:27:12trying to get to Chelsea.
00:27:17Knee right to the midsection by BFAP.
00:27:19Smart move.
00:27:20Cheap shot now to scrap.
00:27:22And that's what the alliance with Jake Cargill is on BFAP
00:27:25and Meech and how to be relentless.
00:27:27How to look out for yourself.
00:27:28Stay to hell with everyone else.
00:27:30Both women are down.
00:27:31Opportunity now.
00:27:33Tag.
00:27:34I don't think Charlotte knows where she is.
00:27:36Now she does.
00:27:37Chelsea and Meech are legal.
00:27:40And Chelsea Green like a house of fire.
00:27:45Japanese arm drags by Chelsea Green.
00:27:50Nice step up into dirt.
00:27:52Props Meech into a knee.
00:27:55Chelsea face first goes Meech.
00:27:59Salute her, Grace.
00:28:02You know when you know the band
00:28:03and then all of a sudden they blow up.
00:28:05Little Rough Rider action.
00:28:07Cover.
00:28:07BFAP breaks things up.
00:28:10You were saying.
00:28:13Bang!
00:28:14There's been dropped kick.
00:28:15Now Jade Cargill.
00:28:19Super kick by the Queen.
00:28:21Oh, and Jade Cargill with a big boot.
00:28:25Chelsea Green now.
00:28:27Chase Cargill outside the ring.
00:28:29Time for Meech.
00:28:29Meech should roll up.
00:28:31And a kick out.
00:28:33Green with a slap.
00:28:41Chelsea now.
00:28:42Oh, Meech should.
00:28:44Oh, my God.
00:28:45Off that hurricanrana.
00:28:48I don't know how much damage Chelsea did to herself.
00:28:51But Jade with a pop kick.
00:28:53Chelsea looking for the unpretty her.
00:28:55Jade Cargill on corner.
00:28:58Went for Jade.
00:28:59Chelsea to the great counter.
00:29:01Right hand drops BFAP.
00:29:07Jade.
00:29:07Jade it.
00:29:09Off the distraction.
00:29:11Cargill with the win.
00:29:15Here are your winners.
00:29:17The team of BFAP.
00:29:20B-T.
00:29:21And Jade.
00:29:23And Jade.
00:29:23Good care.
00:29:26You can see the disappointment in the eyes of Charlotte Flair.
00:29:31Tiffany Stratton attempting to come to the aid of Chelsea Green.
00:29:35Who had a fantastic counter at once for Jaded.
00:29:40Dropped BFAP.
00:29:42But Jade Cargill stayed the course and plants Ms. Green with Jaded in the middle of the ring.
00:29:51That had to feel good for Jade Cargill after what happened at Night of Champions.
00:30:02Well, ladies and gentlemen, this past Saturday at Night of Champions, Sami Zayn won the WWE Championship, defeating Cody Rhodes
00:30:08and Gunther in a triple threat match.
00:30:10Then there was an altercation between Gunther and SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis.
00:30:17You screwed me over in Europe.
00:30:18You screwed me here.
00:30:19How did I screw you tonight?
00:30:20Shut up.
00:30:20I'm talking to you.
00:30:21What is it with you, huh?
00:30:23Is it?
00:30:23Come on.
00:30:24I talked to him.
00:30:24Hey, hey.
00:30:25Don't put your hands on the official.
00:30:26What is it about you?
00:30:27You know what it is?
00:30:28You're jealous.
00:30:29You would love to be in my position.
00:30:32You're jealous because you have failed.
00:30:34Hey, hey, hey.
00:30:35Don't touch me.
00:30:36You have failed.
00:30:36Hey, don't touch me.
00:30:38I told you again.
00:30:38Don't touch me.
00:30:39You get one.
00:30:39What are you going to do, huh?
00:30:40Get the up of me.
00:30:43Get your hands off me.
00:30:44What are you going to do?
00:30:45Come on.
00:30:46What are you going to do?
00:30:47Come on.
00:30:48What are you going to do?
00:30:49Come on.
00:30:50Come on.
00:30:51Come on.
00:30:55And we have an official statement from WWE Headquarters on this season in place.
00:30:59Gunner and Nick Aldis were sent home.
00:31:02Aldis has been placed on administrative leave pending further investigation.
00:31:06And as a result, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce will be running SmackDown for the time.
00:31:13The last thing I'm going to do is argue with you.
00:31:16No, Nick.
00:31:17I'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 to me?
00:31:25I mean, I'm the WWE Champion.
00:31:27Yeah.
00:31:27For starters.
00:31:28And I'm a SmackDown superstar.
00:31:31I don't belong on Raw.
00:31:32What?
00:31:33Really?
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 going to be great.
00:31:54It's going to be great, too.
00:31:56Adam, just hear him.
00:31:57Adam, Adam!
00:31:57Adam!
00:32:05Hey.
00:32:07There he is.
00:32:10There he is.
00:32:15Oh, 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 want to get ahead.
00:32:45You want to win championships around here.
00:32:47You got to 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?
00:32:56Hey, 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.
00:33:05Or landscape's fine.
00:33:09Oh, man.
00:33:26No.
00:33:28No.
00:33:28No.
00:33:41No!
00:33:42No!
00:33:43No!
00:33:44No!
00:33:45No!
00:33:47No!
00:33:48This call is for the Triple A Cruiserweight Championship.
00:33:55Introducing first, from E Catapet, Mexico.
00:34:00He is the Triple A Cruiserweight Champion, Ray Phoenix.
00:34:08This is gonna be a good one, Corey.
00:34:09Fasten your seatbelts and keep your eyes on the skies.
00:34:14The Triple A Cruiserweight Gold is on the line as Phoenix defends
00:34:18against El Ijo Del Viquingo next.
00:34:25Back here on Friday Night SmackDown,
00:34:27a match up for the Triple A Cruiserweight Championship.
00:34:30El Ijo Del Viquingo, the reigning Triple A Latin American Champion.
00:34:37You're about to catch a glimpse of what Lucha Libre is all about.
00:34:42Phoenix invite Kingo, meeting for the first time here at WWE,
00:34:45that they have crossed paths before in Triple A.
00:34:49Both former Triple A Mega Champions.
00:34:51Of course, that title is currently held by Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:34:55What can we expect in this match up?
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. The Kingo will break rules.
00:35:09Look at this, right out of the gate. Shoulders down and a kick out at two by Phoenix.
00:35:13But the Kingo, regardless of his attitude, one 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 the Kingo will stop at nothing to take
00:35:35his championship.
00:35:38Look at this.
00:35:40Such unique, unorthodox offense from El Ijo Del Vikingo.
00:35:44And Ray Phoenix, since capturing the Cruiserweight Championship back at Noche de los Grandes, promised to be...
00:35:50Oh!
00:35:51That's the thing that Ronaldo stole from Vikingo.
00:35:54Oh, Ronaldo did.
00:35:55That's right.
00:35:56Anyway, Phoenix promised upon becoming Cruiserweight Kingpin that he would be a fighting champion.
00:36:02That 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 at the unbelievable athleticism of a Triple-A
00:36:22World Cruiserweight Champion.
00:36:26Vikingo sends him into the ropes.
00:36:28Phoenix missed with a kick.
00:36:31Off the hand, catches it!
00:36:33A Crusher!
00:36:35Glantz!
00:36:36Vikingo!
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.
00:36:50It's a matter of seconds before Phoenix takes flight.
00:36:54Oh, and Vikingo!
00:36:56Great move as he catches Phoenix in the apron.
00:37:00Vikingo is so cagey.
00:37:02So crafty.
00:37:04Oh!
00:37:05Now right to the back of the head.
00:37:07And ruthless.
00:37:10That's a great way to describe him.
00:37:14Look at this!
00:37:16And Phoenix take it out!
00:37:19Cruiserweight title from Triple-A!
00:37:21Up for grabs!
00:37:27Triple-A Cruiserweight Championship is up for grabs.
00:37:31It is the champion Rey Fenix against the challenger Vikingo.
00:37:34Oh!
00:37:35Nobody home.
00:37:35Kick right to the back of the head.
00:37:39Vikingo in a lot of trouble here.
00:37:41Good fly, Amigo!
00:37:46Phoenix effortlessly once again scaling the ropes.
00:37:52What a frog splash!
00:37:54To the center of the ring!
00:37:56Cover!
00:37:56To 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 extension!
00:38:07Full impact!
00:38:09Phoenix very nearly ended this one.
00:38:12But Vikingo 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.
00:38:20Meteora misses!
00:38:21Big kick by Vikingo!
00:38:26Phoenix collapsing into a heap in the bottom turnbuckle.
00:38:29The challenger looking to push the pace.
00:38:31Into the corner!
00:38:32The Meteora!
00:38:33Vicious!
00:38:34From Vikingo!
00:38:36Could be closing in on the Cruiserweight Championship!
00:38:42Oh, he caught him!
00:38:44Roll through!
00:38:45Hammer!
00:38:45And a kick out!
00:38:48And a kick out!
00:38:49So innovative is the challenger.
00:38:52Vikingo!
00:38:52Got all the kick!
00:38:54Come on for me!
00:39:00Vikingo may be closing in on the Cruiserweight Championship!
00:39:04Maybe not Ray Phoenix!
00:39:05What a strike!
00:39:14Shots to the ribs!
00:39:16Vikingo recognizing the peril of the situation!
00:39:20Oh, my goodness!
00:39:22What on earth does Vikingo have in store here?
00:39:25Oh, God!
00:39:26From the ring post!
00:39:28Cover for the championship!
00:39:31And a kick out of two and a half!
00:39:35An unbelievable poison run-up!
00:39:39From the ropes!
00:39:41It's almost miraculous Phoenix survived!
00:39:47Indeed it is!
00:39:48For the Triple-A Cruiserweight Championship!
00:39:51The challenger now perched on top of the ring post!
00:39:55Wow!
00:39:57Greenboard 450!
00:39:58Nobody home!
00:39:59Ray Phoenix moved out of harm's way!
00:40:01Oh!
00:40:01Now the D's in the corner!
00:40:03Phoenix!
00:40:04Putting Vikingo up!
00:40:05Top rope!
00:40:06Right to the chest!
00:40:09And now Phoenix!
00:40:10We're gonna put him away!
00:40:11Marching around the ring!
00:40:15Mexican Muscle Buster!
00:40:17Cover!
00:40:18Phoenix retains!
00:40:21Here is your winner!
00:40:23And still the Triple-A Cruiserweight Champion!
00:40:31Ray Phoenix!
00:40:33Kudos to the challenger, Elijo Del Vikingo, who went for broke and unfortunately it did not pay off!
00:40:40Phoenix wasting no time capitalizing!
00:40:43Phoenix wasting no time capitalizing!
00:40:43Meteora in the turnbuckle!
00:40:45And the Mexican Muscle Buster!
00:40:48And still, Triple-A World Cruiserweight Champion!
00:40:54Ray Phoenix!
00:40:56And just a reminder, this is the type of action you will find each and every Saturday night!
00:41:02It's Triple-A!
00:41:10Last week on SmackDown, our main event, Gloria, versus her former business associate, Tiana James!
00:41:15The beautiful madness brought her A-game, delivering the Northern Lights bomb to her former business associate, freeing herself from
00:41:26any sort of past association with Tiana James.
00:41:29Unfortunately for Julia, her celebration would be short-lived.
00:41:33Enter the glamour!
00:41:36Blake Monroe bursting onto the SmackDown scene at Julia's expense.
00:41:41Here's Kathy Kelly.
00:41:43Yeah, thanks so much.
00:41:44I'm standing by with Julia.
00:41:47And Julia, last week you didn't even get the chance to celebrate your win over Tiana James before Blake Monroe
00:41:53attacked you.
00:41:54Do you have a message for Blake?
00:41:57I don't back down from any fight.
00:42:01I put Tiana behind me.
00:42:04If Blake Monroe stops being a coward, I will fight her anytime, anywhere, anywhere.
00:42:15That's rich coming from you, Julia.
00:42:19I mean, it would be just like you to bite the hand that feeds you.
00:42:26Listen, you got lucky.
00:42:29I beat you, Kiana!
00:42:31Oh my God!
00:42:32Ah!
00:42:33Ah!
00:42:35In case you forgot, I'm Blake Monroe, and it's so good to see you again.
00:42:41Ah!
00:42:42Ah!
00:42:43Ah!
00:42:45You know, as fun as that was to watch, let's not forget who's in control here.
00:42:51Ah!
00:42:51Ah!
00:42:52Ah!
00:42:55It's nice to see you, too.
00:43:01Blake Monroe again.
00:43:03Well, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, we'll take a look at what transpired this past Monday
00:43:08between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.
00:43:16WWE would like to give special thanks to Visit Atlantic City.
00:43:21Atlantic City is the destination for life's greatest celebrations.

00:46:38Now, can you help us?
00:46:39Do you know where he at or do you not know where he at?
00:46:42Because if you don't, we're just going to handle our family businesses.
00:46:46Family?
00:46:48Blood don't make you family.
00:46:51Loyalty makes you family.
00:46:54I've been your day one for the last 14 years.
00:46:58Right?
00:47:00I've been loyal to you.
00:47:01So guess what?
00:47:04As far as I'm concerned, I'm your family.
00:47:11Not no more.
00:47:13Right, Jacob?
00:47:36Go, go, go, go, go.
00:47:42Go, go, go.
00:47:43Go, go, go, go, go.
00:47:52Oh!
00:47:56Oh!
00:48:10Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the self-proclaimed best man to ever breathe, Lil Yachty, and the United States Champion,
00:48:24Tariq Williams.
00:48:30The best man to ever breathe, Michael Cole. Do you know what a dubious distinction that is?
00:48:36Lil Yachty, my God. Tariq Williams, still the United States Champion after a hell of a battle this past Saturday,
00:48:44a night of champions, the absolute Ricky Sanks.
00:49:09Lil Yachty is out here dressed like Kim Chi. Gotta get me some of those boots.
00:49:35Lil Yachty is out here.
00:49:42Lil Yachty is out here.
00:49:45What?
00:50:15Let's do it!
00:50:16Oh, this is interesting.
00:50:20Well, I would never recommend interrupting Lil Yachty or Trick Williams.
00:50:31Carmelo Hayes has done just that.
00:50:34The former United States Champion, I guarantee you, Corey, he was watching Trick and Ricky this past Saturday night, a
00:50:42champion.
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 tenure in NXT.
00:51:00That's why I like Carmelo.
00:51:02He's never been afraid to ruffle a few feathers or fur in this game.
00:51:13Carmelo!
00:51:16Carmelo!
00:51:18Carmelo!
00:51:19Carmelo!
00:51:20Carmelo!
00:51:21Carmelo!
00:51:22Carmelo!
00:51:22Carmelo!
00:51:22Carmelo!
00:51:22Yeah.
00:51:24All right, Trick.
00:51:25Let's get serious.
00:51:27Let's get to business.
00:51:29Look, on Saturday, Ricky couldn't get the job done.
00:51:33So now it looks like Atlantic City, we have no other choice but to run it back, you and me,
00:51:44for that United States Championship.
00:51:46If you bout it, bout it.
00:51:52No answer.
00:51:53Okay, you know what?
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.
00:52:09You unstoppable.
00:52:09But 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.
00:52:26So 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, that championship, that's the workhorse championship.
00:52:47That's the match of the night championship.
00:52:51That championship is for guys who are hungry.
00:52:54And it looks like me, you walk around here like you had too much to eat.
00:52:58Let's really talk about it.
00:53:01I'm just getting started.
00:53:04So Trick, I say all that just to say this, man.
00:53:08Prove me wrong.
00:53:10Prove me wrong.
00:53:12Put that title against somebody that knows you better than anybody.
00:53:17Because all this talk about you on track to be one of the greatest 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 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.
00:53:35Ah, my lord, god dang!
00:53:39Who are you talking to?
00:53:41Look, this ain't no Willy Nilly Carlo from NXT, okay?
00:53:47This is Trick Willy.
00:53:48The one and only Trick Willy might I need to add the United States champion.
00:53:54And since being caught up to the big leagues, he has been nothing short of pure greatness, okay?
00:54:04Now, I understand you would like a match, right?
00:54:10Atlantic City, should we give this young small man a match?
00:54:24Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:54:26Slow down, alright?
00:54:27Don't blow a blood vessel.
00:54:29We got you.
00:54:30Alright, you know what?
00:54:31Matter of fact, next week, you got yourself a match.
00:54:38But it's not for the championship.
00:54:40Relax, alright?
00:54:42Hey, we gave you that chance, you blew it, you failed.
00:54:45Look, we not just gonna keep giving out title shots, baby.
00:54:47You understand?
00:54:48Titles are earned, not given, alright?
00:54:51But you are lucky because the champ needs to get his reps in.
00:54:54So, with that being said, you gotta match next week.
00:54:58But, please understand, next week when things get tricky,
00:55:03you will have no more excuses as to why you cannot get the job done.
00:55:13You know what, Melo?
00:55:15It's funny.
00:55:16I guess with all the history that you and me have, I really do know you like the back of
00:55:22my hand.
00:55:36What 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!
00:56:01Why wait till next week?
00:56:08What the fuck?
00:56:12What's up Jake?
00:56:13Give me what you want, y'all.
00:56:14I'm gonna carry this name.
00:56:17Memo wants a title.
00:56:19Memo wants a trick, Kyle.
00:56:27Hey, my pleaser...
00:56:30Dan Houser, that would be wonderful.
00:56:32What the fuck?
00:56:32because I don't have any of it.
00:56:33I 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.
00:56:43Dan Housen isn't taken care of.
00:56:44He has a match with that guy with the head.
00:56:46He's always following around Dominic Mysterious.
00:56:48J.D. McDonough?
00:56:49Yeah, maybe that's it.
00:56:50I don't know.
00:56:51Anyway, I'm going to wrestle him
00:56:52at Saturday night's main event at Madison Square.
00:56:56Got it.
00:56:56Hope you didn't have any backup from your guy.
00:56:58No need.
00:56:58I just got backup on the phone.
00:57:00You saw.
00:57:02Invisible backup?
00:57:03No, he's real.
00:57:04He's from New York.
00:57:05I'm going to take a train down there.
00:57:06I'm going to meet him.
00:57:07I'm going to explain the whole plan to him.
00:57:09It's going to be great.
00:57:10It does sound great, yeah.
00:57:11Yeah, actually, you know what?
00:57:11Since you're here, I have something for you.
00:57:13You can help Dan Housen finish his new experiment.
00:57:16You just have to twist that.
00:57:18Why do I have to do it?
00:57:19Because you have muscles.
00:57:20That's a good point.
00:57:21Okay, just twist this?
00:57:22Yeah, twist it.
00:57:22Okay.
00:57:23See?
00:57:26What?
00:57:27What's going on?
00:57:27Oh, what?
00:57:28Hey, wow, what is this?
00:57:29Wow, this isn't supposed to be happening right now.
00:57:31What is it?
00:57:32Ah, the Judgment Day must have sabotaged my commandment.
00:57:36Ah, I got to go, Zack Ryder.
00:57:38You're not in charge, though.
00:57:40You're not in charge.
00:57:42Oh, my God.
00:57:43Take care.
00:57:44Spud your hair.
00:57:49Somebody save those guys.
00:57:56They're okay.
00:58:00Have some compassion.
00:58:02You know me how long, Paul.
00:58:05Fantastic with that emotion.
00:58:09The following content is digital 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.
00:58:23The WWE 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 Reed 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
00:58:49to challenge the new WWE Champion, Sami Zayn?
00:58:56Went out for the Tag Team Champions, Brie Bella.
00:58:59Set for her first one-on-one match in 10 years.
00:59:02Here tonight on SmackDown.
00:59:09I get deep in the night.
00:59:12Now we won't let you in.
00:59:15Cause we hold on the light.
00:59:17I'll blind you in the night.
00:59:20And I know the front lines.
00:59:22You can't stay the same.
00:59:25So stay away.
00:59:26You may tell.
00:59:28We'll take hold on this game.
00:59:30And her opponent representing fatal influence, Lainey Reed.
00:59:38Lainey Reed set for one-on-one action here tonight.
00:59:40But let's show you what happened last week on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:59:44It was a homecoming in London for Paige versus J.C. Jane.
00:59:47J.C. Jane representing fatal influence.
00:59:51It 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.
00:59:58In which J.C. Jane would attempt to capitalize.
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.
01:00:21What Lainey Reed may lack in experience, she overcompensates for in raw physical ability.
01:00:26To your point, this woman is double-toughed, but Brie Bella certainly has the experience.
01:00:33Oh, wow, my goodness.
01:00:34What a left hand to the chin of Brie Bella.
01:00:37I don't even know how Brie is still standing.
01:00:39That's the type of shot that'll make you rethink your career path.
01:00:42But Brie Bella explodes out of the corner.
01:00:45And Brie is ticked off.
01:00:47And look at this!
01:00:49Going to separate the shoulder of Lainey Reed.
01:00:51Trying to put this one away early in a kickout by Reed.
01:00:54What a physical battle!
01:00:59Remember, Lainey Reed, Fallon Henley, a fatal influence.
01:01:02Couldn't get the job done against Brie and Paige in a tag match a couple of weeks ago.
01:01:07Nice 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 overcompensate 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.
01:01:42I'll tell you, that left hand really set Brie off into a frenzy.
01:01:48Reed was able to weather the storm.
01:01:50You got J.C. Gaines, Fallon Henley on the outside, cheerleading.
01:01:57Reed now powering Brie Bella up to the top turnbuckle.
01:02:01Oh!
01:02:02And another fierce left from Reed.
01:02:04Reed, my God!
01:02:05I think this woman may have knockout power.
01:02:08Brie Bella hanging in there, though.
01:02:10Went out for the tag team champions.
01:02:15Bella with a missile dropkick.
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 lab, he would be honored.
01:02:30Has somebody checked on him?
01:02:32Then Kit Wilson.
01:02:33Oh!
01:02:35Lady Reed trying to take advantage of the distraction.
01:02:41Brie going to land on her feet.
01:02:44Down goes Reed.
01:02:48Bella rolled through, and now she's looking for the yes lock.
01:02:51The yes lock is in.
01:02:54Will Lady Reed tap out?
01:02:57Come on, Lady, huh?
01:02:58She's Fallon Henley trying to get the attention of Brie Bella as Brie continues to crank in
01:03:04the 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 applied, and now Brie Bella has to let
01:03:22it go to come to the aid of her partner.
01:03:27Ray Lindsland is throwing bombs tonight.
01:03:30And Lady Reed with a runny knee, takes advantage of the numbers.
01:03:35One, two, three.
01:03:36And Reed is pin one out for the tag team champion.
01:03:40Here is your winner, Lady Reed.
01:03:48What a win for Lady Reed.
01:03:52Thanks to the assist from Fallon Henley and J.C. Jane.
01:04:00They don't influence.
01:04:02Big win for Reed tonight.
01:04:08That's what 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!
01:04:26Tomorrow, truth, tomorrow.
01:04:27That's what I said, don't.
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 me.
01:04:37Priest!
01:04:37Truth!
01:04:39You boys, think about our offer, or you're just going to shove hot dogs in your face.
01:04:45How dare you!
01:04:47He just bit your wiener.
01:04:50You're supposed to swallow that dog.
01:04:52Truth.
01:04:52You 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.
01:04:59WB tag title.
01:05:01All for a hot dog eating contest.
01:05:04Get your throat ready.
01:05:05Let's do this, dog.
01:05:08That's what I said.
01:05:09Now you tell them that.
01:05:10In English.
01:05:11Look, guys.
01:05:12Alders 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 go.
01:05:23You're going to lose your mask and your luchador status, they'll say.
01:05:28Little Jimmy, down the road.
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
01:05:43between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi on Raw this past Monday night.
01:05:56Oba, I want to make sure I heard you right.
01:05:58You did.
01:05:59So SummerSlam, you're sure?
01:06:02100% sure?
01:06:03Yes, I'm sure.
01:06:04It needs to happen, and I will be the one to put an end to it.
01:06:09Ladies and gentlemen, your 2026 King of the Ring, Oba Femi.
01:06:19Now 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.
01:06:56When I'm not here, you call Brock Lesnar a coward.
01:07:02You've got a pretty big decision to make.
01:07:05Maybe I can love you all the time.
01:07:08You know what they say.
01:07:12Talk s***.
01:07:14Get hit.
01:07:16Get hit.
01:07:26Hey, you said I called you names behind your back.
01:07:32Well, guess what?
01:07:34You're in front of me, and you're still in.
01:07:36Me and you, one-on-one, 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.
01:08:03The beast, Brock Lesnar, the king, Oba Femi, locked inside the steel structure known as
01:08:13Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam.
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, Toma?
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?
01:09:10Oh, Ben.
01:09:13I'm closing the books on everything from my past.
01:09:18And you're next.
01:09:20Oh, Ben.
01:09:24Oh, God.
01:09:37Oh, Ben.
01:09:39Please, please.
01:09:41People, use it.

01:11:17Waiting for me to start the show
01:11:21I'm a cut like the world from home
01:11:25Whoa!
01:11:33And his opponent from Atlanta, Georgia
01:11:38Waiting for 222 times
01:11:42The American Nightmare
01:11:46Cody Rhodes
01:11:50Very interesting that a few weeks back
01:11:54It was Jey Uso who was passed 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
01:12:18Second time in their career
01:12:20They'll go one-on-one in a matchup
01:12:30This could boil down to which of these two superstars is able to compartmentalize their relationship better
01:12:36You have to let friendship flip to the back of your mind
01:12:40In fact, forget about it altogether
01:12:41Because your friend is the only thing left standing between you and a shot at the undisputed WWE title
01:12:48There's also a ton of pressure tonight on Jey Uso
01:12:51Remember the world champion Roman Reigns
01:12:53Dave Jey is marking the winners of the King of the Ring Tournament
01:12:56Winners thinks he can go on to SummerSlam
01:12:58To 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
01:13:07To 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 and 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 and 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?
01:14:02Show 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 partner
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 into the corner
01:14:23And Jey Uso, wow
01:14:24Great performance against Oba Febby
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
01:14:47And plays Sandy Zane
01:14:48The brand new WWE Champion
01:14:52Here comes the main event
01:14:54Jey Uso fighting his way back into this thing
01:14:57But Cody dropped down with the right hand
01:15:00Rhodes who lost the WWE title last Saturday night
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 bear take
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
01:16:22And 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 in 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
01:17:44Perhaps not the best cover executed 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 this past Saturday
01:17:56In the triple threat match
01:17:58Cody with a kick now to Jey
01:18:00Gonna head up to the top rope
01:18:01Looking for a massive Cody cutter
01:18:03Is this enough to send it to the wall?
01:18:07And a kick out by Jey
01:18:14Why not to get frustrated here
01:18:17Hasn't been able to put Uso away
01:18:28Went 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
01:18:38No
01:18:38No
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 body
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
01:19:15For Cody Rhodes again
01:19:17For Jey for the very first time
01:19:19Cody rolls out of hearts
01:19:21Cody it's 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
01:19:31Cody almost had him and a kick out by Jey
01:19:35And now Cody's got to be questioning himself
01:19:37What do I need to do to put Jey away
01:19:42Ask those questions later Cody
01:19:45Keep your foot on the gas pedal
01:19:49Rhodes cannot allow doubt to creep into his mind at this juncture
01:19:54Cody knows what it means to be in the main event
01:19:56Cody knows what it means to be QB1
01:20:00And now is not the time for an internal crisis
01:20:04Not quite sure what Cody's planning to do here
01:20:08It looks to me like Cody's feeling desperate
01:20:14Cody hit it all the way up to the top rope
01:20:19Rhodes with a splash
01:20:20He's the knees up by Jey
01:20:22Rolls up Cody
01:20:23Is it enough?
01:20:24Cody kicks at it too
01:20:28Another near fall
01:20:30High pressure here
01:20:34The high risk that backfired on Rhodes
01:20:37Jey with the presence of mind to get both knees up
01:20:41They also never know
01:20:43When you're going to get another championship opportunity
01:20:45A world title opportunity
01:20:50One of these men will earn one tonight
01:21:02Rhodes and Uso looking to empty their tanks in the middle of the ring
01:21:06That's how valuable an undisputed title opportunity is
01:21:12The chance at immortality
01:21:17Cody wants an opportunity to become a four-time champion
01:21:21And now Jey Uso trying to lock in the sleeve
01:21:23The move that won in the world title at Wrestlemania
01:21:31Is Cody fading?
01:21:33Nope
01:21:35Jey lands on his feet
01:21:40On a roll by Uso
01:21:42Cody able to turn around at least momentarily
01:21:45Now backed up into the corner
01:21:46Jey trying to lock it in again
01:21:51Jey wanted a sleeper hold
01:21:53Look to adjust into it
01:21:54Perhaps a dragon sleeper
01:21:56Or maybe even a crossroads
01:21:59Speaking of
01:22:02Crossroads again by Cody
01:22:05Rhodes with a cover
01:22:06Cody Rhodes is going to 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 will understand what it feels like to 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 a fairy game
01:22:40Jey Uso tonight
01:22:42Rhodes is headed to the second city
01:22:45Intent on reclaiming the undisputed WWE championship
01:22:50The stage is set
01:22:52Monday night on Raw
01:22:54From Chicago
01:22:56Cody
01:22:58Sami
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
01:23:16You
01:23:18You
01:23:19You
01:23:19You
