00:01:03But Sammy's age would not let Cody's arm fall
00:01:09Sammy's got a chance
00:01:14Crossroads

00:01:23Oh my God

00:01:28I would never win the WWE Championship
00:01:33A miracle in Riyadh
00:01:36But I stand here tonight
00:01:38In front of my people
00:01:40On a period
00:01:41New undisputed
00:01:44WWE Champion
00:01:49WWE Champion
00:02:03Let's go
00:02:04Let's go
00:02:12Ladies and gentlemen
00:02:14Please welcome
00:02:15The new
00:02:16Undisputed
00:02:19WWE Champion
00:02:25Sami Zayn
00:02:27Sami Zayn
00:02:31Do not accept the genitals and screen
00:02:40Ladies and gentlemen you saw it just moments ago
00:02:43The miracle that this past Saturday, that night of champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
00:02:50on his 10th slide, after a quarter of a century in the business,
00:02:54Sami Zayn wins his first WWE Championship.
00:03:00The culmination of a lifelong dream before our very eyes in Riyadh.
00:03:07A moment that will never be forgotten.
00:03:11And especially for Sami Zayn.
00:03:30Sami admitted himself.
00:03:32He never thought it would happen.
00:03:37And he finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
00:04:14It seems to me
00:04:17like a lot of folks out here tonight
00:04:22came to ride or die
00:04:24with the last real good guy.
00:04:35And I just want to say before I even get started
00:04:38the overwhelming reaction
00:04:40the love that I've gotten over the last few days
00:04:42since winning this
00:04:43it's really touched me
00:04:45from the bottom of my heart
00:04:46thank you
00:04:47I mean that
00:04:48thank you
00:04:54but
00:04:56the whole thing is really kind of funny
00:04:58considering for the past six months
00:05:00I've come out here
00:05:01and I've been booed
00:05:03out of the building
00:05:05every single time
00:05:09and it's funny because the people booing were the same people
00:05:12who three years ago were dying to see Sami Zayn as the WWE champion
00:05:19but then they decided
00:05:20oh this guy's never gonna do it
00:05:22they jumped off the bandwagon
00:05:24they turned their backs on me
00:05:27they wanted to boo me
00:05:28but now I have this
00:05:30so I could be petty
00:05:32if I wanted to

00:05:35and tell every single one of those people
00:05:37who turned their backs on me

00:05:53because I
00:05:55am a good
00:05:57guy
00:06:00and that is the same reason
00:06:03why I'm holding this
00:06:05because I never changed
00:06:07everyone told me
00:06:08if you wanna win
00:06:09you have to be a bit more selfish
00:06:11you need to be a bit more cutthroat
00:06:13you need to do some things
00:06:15you don't wanna do
00:06:17and I didn't
00:06:18I won this the way
00:06:20I always said I would win it
00:06:21I did it my way
00:06:23I did it
00:06:24the right way
00:06:31and I could be petty
00:06:33trust me
00:06:34I could be petty
00:06:34and I could tell every single one of those people
00:06:37that said
00:06:38oh

00:08:54to be if
00:08:55a but
00:08:55have
00:09:12Well, the man who was the WWE champion.
00:09:18Cody Rhodes, pinned by Sami Zayn in the triple threat match this past Saturday night.
00:09:25As for Sami Zayn, Corey Graves, not quite the celebratory speech that I was expecting from the champion.
00:09:34Sami Zayn has more than earned the right to air his grievances.
00:09:38He is now the kingpin here on SmackDown.
00:09:42And I gotta be perfectly honest, seeing Cody make the walk to the ring without the gold around his waist
00:09:48feels a little uncomfortable.
00:09:55So, ready for me to start the show.
00:10:00After cutting lights go off of home.
00:10:04Whoa!
00:10:06My mom was dead.
00:10:10When I was younger.
00:10:13I can't sleep in the rain.
00:10:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:10:18You took it all away.
00:10:20I gave it all away.
00:10:21You took it all away.
00:10:24Oh, Sami.

00:21:59chelsea green experience i've said it for a long long time charlotte flair works best on her own
00:22:07and she can she co-exist or will she be able to get past this challenge
00:22:11that remains to be seen
00:22:12let's see
00:22:13is coming
00:22:39the team
00:22:50These three have not been kind to Charlotte Flair.
00:22:53Let's take you back to two weeks ago.
00:22:54Charlotte, before her semifinal matchup in the Queen of the Ring with Liv Morgan.
00:22:59Backstage, Cargill, Meechie, and BFab would lay a beat down on the Queen, Charlotte Flair.
00:23:06Yeah, but this past Saturday, Charlotte Flair got a bit of retribution
00:23:10when she cost Jade Cargill an opportunity to knock off Tiffany Stratton to the United States Championship.
00:23:17Six-woman tag team matchup, Charlotte, Tiffany, and Chelsea against BFab, Meechie, and Jade Cargill.
00:23:24That team, Jade Cargill and company, actually knocked off the team of Charlotte and Alexa and Rhea Ripley
00:23:30back at Saturday night's main event in May.
00:23:33Sorry, I was thrown off by Chelsea and Tiffany trying to do their best to Sophie Cunningham
00:23:37to incite some sort of angst before this matchup.
00:23:39And here we go.
00:23:40The United States Champion, Tiffany Stratton, squaring off against the woman she beat at
00:23:44Night of Champions, Jade Cargill in this matchup.
00:23:47Again, ladies and gentlemen, thanks for spending your holiday weekend with us here tonight
00:23:51on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:23:53Tiffany Stratton driving Jade toward the corner.
00:23:55And a tag made, and here comes Meechie.
00:23:57We know Jade Cargill in a very, very bad mood as a result of Night of Champions.
00:24:03And Cargill and company look to take out their frustrations on Stratton and her teammates.
00:24:10Tiffany looking for the Alabama Slam.
00:24:12Meechie turns it around, pinning combination, and a kick out.
00:24:15Go!
00:24:16Come on!
00:24:17Come on!
00:24:19Come on!
00:24:19Come here!
00:24:20Come here!
00:24:20Come here!
00:24:21Come here!
00:24:21Come here!
00:24:21Come here!
00:24:22Come here!
00:24:32B-Fab and Meechie, they say the rising tide range of all ships.
00:24:36That's what we're seeing right in front of us.
00:24:38Covered by B-Fab.
00:24:39Off the double team, and a hook to the leg, and a kick out by Stratton.
00:24:43B-Fab has grown leaps and bounds since joining forces with the Storm, Jade Cargill.
00:24:50Stratton will land on her feet, backs up into the corner.
00:24:53Tag was made, and the Queen Charlotte Flair is now legal.
00:24:57Charlotte's a 14-time world champion for the cross body.
00:25:02Blair with a boot to Cargill.
00:25:05Now a right hand to Meechie, and B-Fab into the corner.
00:25:11Backs up into Charlotte.
00:25:12Charlotte catches it with a kick.
00:25:15B-Fab right under the chin.
00:25:19Oh!
00:25:20And Charlotte.
00:25:23With a kip up.
00:25:25Oh, a fun moment wrecking pool right now, taking off all three opponents.
00:25:32Oh, a shot, stunning B-Fab, driving her to the corner.
00:25:41Irish whip with a race by B-Fab.
00:25:44Oh!
00:25:45Come on!
00:25:46Charlotte with a boot to the face.
00:25:50Cannonball, Sue Meechie.
00:25:52Come on!
00:25:54He forgot one, Charlotte.
00:25:56Jade Cargill, lying in wait, delivers a clothesline.
00:25:59Get that money!
00:26:07And before the commercial break, Jade Cargill turned the entire complexion of this match around.
00:26:13And she took out Charlotte Flair at ringside.
00:26:15And now it's been a three-on-one beatdown.
00:26:19What a way to rebound if you're Jade Cargill after a disappointing night of champions to come in here and
00:26:24pick up a win,
00:26:25or at least a dominant showing against Charlotte Flair.
00:26:30That'll raise your stock to an all-time idol.
00:26:33All the way slammed by a stern Cargill who is now mocking Charlotte Flair.
00:26:41I didn't see the mockery.
00:26:42I thought Jade did a fantastic job.
00:26:44And Charlotte is out of harm's right.
00:26:46Jade Cargill face first off the turnbuckle.
00:26:48Tag will be made to defense.
00:26:50Charlotte trying to make it to the corner and make a tag to her team.
00:26:54Like the urgency being shown by B-Fab.
00:26:57Knowing how important it is to prevent Charlotte from making this tag.
00:27:00It could be the tie turner her team wants.
00:27:03Charlotte at arm's length away, trying to get to Chelsea.
00:27:09Knee right to the midsection by B-Fab.
00:27:12Smart move.
00:27:13A cheap shot now to Stratton.
00:27:14And that's what the alliance for Jade Cargill is on B-Fab and Meech.
00:27:18And how to be relentless.
00:27:19How to look out for yourself.
00:27:21Stay to hell with everyone else.
00:27:22Holden running her down.
00:27:23Opportunity now.
00:27:26Tag.
00:27:26I want to make Charlotte knows where she is.
00:27:28Now she does.
00:27:30Chelsea and Meech are legal.
00:27:33And Chelsea Green like a house of fire.
00:27:37Japanese arm drags by Chelsea Green.
00:27:42Nice step on Pits of Derry.
00:27:44Pumps Meech into a knee.
00:27:47Chelsea face first goes Meech.
00:27:51Pits of Derry.
00:27:51Salute her, Grace.
00:27:54You know when you know the band and then all of a sudden they blow up.
00:27:57Oh!
00:27:57Little Ruff Rider action.
00:27:59Cover.
00:28:00B-Fab breaks things up.
00:28:02You were saying.
00:28:05Bang!
00:28:06Meech's been dropped kick.
00:28:08Now Jade Cargill.
00:28:12Super kick by the Queen.
00:28:14Oh!
00:28:14And Jade Cargill with a big boot.
00:28:18Chelsea Green now.
00:28:19Jade Cargill outside the ring.
00:28:21That's out for Meech.
00:28:22Meech should roll up.
00:28:23And a kick out.
00:28:26Green with a slap.
00:28:34Chelsea now.
00:28:35Oh!
00:28:35Meech should.
00:28:36Oh my God.
00:28:38Off that hurricanrana.
00:28:40I don't know how much damage Chelsea did to herself.
00:28:44But Jade with a puck kick.
00:28:45Chelsea looking for the unpretty her.
00:28:48Jade Cargill.
00:28:48Oh my God.
00:28:50Went for Jade.
00:28:51He tells you to the great counter.
00:28:53Right hand drops B-Fab.
00:28:56No!
00:28:59Jade.
00:29:00Jade it.
00:29:02Off the distraction.
00:29:04Cargill with the win.
00:29:08Here are your winners.
00:29:10The team of B-Fab.
00:29:12Meech in.
00:29:14And Jade.
00:29:15Good care.
00:29:18See the disappointment in the eyes of Charlotte Flair.
00:29:23Tiffany Stratton attempting to come to the aid of Chelsea Green.
00:29:28Who had a fantastic counter at once for Jaded.
00:29:33Dropped B-Fab.
00:29:34But Jade Cargill stayed the course and plants Miss Green with Jaded in the middle of the ring.
00:29:43That had to feel good for Jade Cargill after what happened at Night of Champions.
00:29:54Ladies and gentlemen, this past Saturday at Night of Champions, Sami Zayn won the WWE Championship, defeating Cody Rhodes and
00:30:01Gunther in a triple threat match.
00:30:03Then there was an altercation between Gunther and SmackDown general manager, Nick Aldis.
00:30:09You screwed me over in Europe.
00:30:11You screwed me over here.
00:30:11How did I screw you tonight?
00:30:12Shut up and I'm talking to you.
00:30:14What is it with you, huh?
00:30:15Come on, I talked to him.
00:30:17Hey, hey.
00:30:17What is it with you?
00:30:17Don't put your hands on the official.
00:30:19What is it personal?
00:30:20You know what it is?
00:30:21You're jealous.
00:30:22You would love to be in my position.
00:30:24You're fucking jealous because you have failed.
00:30:27Hey, hey, hey.
00:30:27Don't touch me, Gunther.
00:30:28You're miserable.
00:30:29Hey, don't touch me.
00:30:30I told you I get to.
00:30:30Don't touch me.
00:30:31You get one.
00:30:32What are you going to do, huh?
00:30:33What are you going to do, huh?
00:30:34What are you going to do?
00:30:35Get your hands off.
00:30:37What are you going to do?
00:30:37Don't touch me.
00:30:38What are you going to do?
00:30:40Come on, Nick.
00:30:40Come on, Nick.
00:30:41Don't touch me.
00:30:42Come on, Nick.
00:30:42Do it again.
00:30:44Hold on.
00:30:44Let him come through.
00:30:46I'm not going to get your shit before.
00:30:47And we've been official statement from WWE headquarters on this evening.
00:30:52Gunther and Nick Aldis were sent home.
00:30:54All this has been placed on administratively.
00:30:56Hending further investigation.
00:30:58And as a result, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce will be running SmackDown for the time period.
00:31:06The last thing I'm going to do is argue with you.
00:31:08No, Nick, I'm not arguing because I'm here doing the job you couldn't get done.
00:31:12Goodbye, Nick.
00:31:13Adam, could you please explain what's going on here to me?
00:31:17I mean, I'm the WWE champion for starters.
00:31:20And I'm a SmackDown superstar.
00:31:23I don't belong on Raw.
00:31:25What?
00:31:25Really?
00:31:26Yes.
00:31:26I think the thing you're missing here, Sammy, is I'm giving you a great opportunity.
00:31:30You can show the world that you can be a great undisputed WWE champion in a great city, on a
00:31:35great show.
00:31:36Listen, if it makes you feel better, maybe I invite some SmackDown superstars.
00:31:39We make it a great super show.
00:31:40But either way, either way, congratulations.
00:31:43I will see you Monday.
00:31:45And it's going to be great.
00:31:47It's going to be great, Adam.
00:31:48Just hear me.
00:31:49Adam.
00:31:50Adam.
00:31:56Hey.
00:31:59There he is.
00:32:07Oh, Johnny.
00:32:11There it is, baby.
00:32:12I did it.
00:32:13I did it.
00:32:14Didn't I tell you, Johnny?
00:32:15I did it.
00:32:16I did it.
00:32:16Look, man, I got to be honest with you.
00:32:19I don't know if I win this without you.
00:32:21I really don't.
00:32:22I mean, when I was hitting my low points over the last few months, I feel like you were an
00:32:26ear for me when I needed someone.
00:32:28You understood me when I needed someone.
00:32:31You're like my rock, man.
00:32:35This is the proof right here, Johnny.
00:32:37You want to get ahead.
00:32:38You want to win championships around here.
00:32:39You got to stay true to yourself.
00:32:43You know what?
00:32:44Candice, I'm actually glad you're here.
00:32:47Really?
00:32:47Yeah.
00:32:48Yeah.
00:32:48What?
00:32:48Hey, can you take a photo?
00:32:50Yeah, get a picture of old me and Johnny here, would you?
00:32:53Ha-ha!
00:32:55Go portrait.
00:32:56Portrait.
00:32:57Or landscape's fine.
00:32:58Oh, man.
00:33:38The following contest scheduled for one call is for the Triple A Cruiserweight Championship.
00:33:48Introducing first from Iguetapec, Mexico, he is the Triple A Cruiserweight Champion, Ray
00:33:58Phoenix.
00:33:59This is going to be a good one, Corey.
00:34:02Fasten your seatbelts and keep your eyes on the skies.
00:34:06The Triple A Cruiserweight Gold is on the line as Phoenix defends against El Ijo Del Viquingo
00:34:12next.
00:34:17Back here on Friday Night SmackDown, a matchup for the Triple A Cruiserweight Championship.
00:34:23El Ijo Del Viquingo, the reigning Triple A Latin American Champion.
00:34:29You're about to catch a glimpse of what Lucha Libre is all about.
00:34:34Phoenix invite Kingo, meeting for the first time here at WWE, but they have crossed paths
00:34:39before in Triple A.
00:34:41Both former Triple A Mega Champions.
00:34:43Of course, that title currently held by Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:34:47What can we expect in this matchup?
00:34:49First from the challenger by Kingo.
00:34:50The Kingo is willing to do anything and everything to obtain victory.
00:34:54That's been the biggest change in his personality over the past year or so.
00:34:58The Kingo will take shortcuts.
00:35:00The Kingo will break rules.
00:35:01Look at this.
00:35:02Right out of the gate.
00:35:03Shoulders down and a kick out at two by Phoenix.
00:35:05But the Kingo, regardless of his attitude, one of the most spectacular athletes in the game.
00:35:11Case in point.
00:35:13And Phoenix driven into the ropes.
00:35:17Ray Phoenix knows what he's getting into in this matchup tonight.
00:35:20How does he keep the Cruiserweight title?
00:35:22Phoenix has to be careful and has to be fully aware that the Kingo will stop at nothing to take
00:35:27his championship.
00:35:30Look at this.
00:35:32Such unique, unorthodox offense from El Ijo Del Viquingo.
00:35:36And Ray Phoenix, since capturing the Cruiserweight Championship back at Noche de los Grandes,
00:35:41promised to be, oh, that's the thing that Ronaldo stole from Viquingo.
00:35:46Oh, Ronaldo did.
00:35:47That's right.
00:35:48Anyway, Phoenix promised upon becoming Cruiserweight Kingpin that he would be a fighting champion,
00:35:55that he would raise the status and the perception of the Cruiserweight gold.
00:35:59What a crossbody.
00:36:01And a kick out.
00:36:03Well, Phoenix did just that last week.
00:36:05What a matchup he had with Nathan Fraser.
00:36:07And Phoenix showing no signs of slowing as we take another look.
00:36:11He had the unbelievable athleticism of a AAA World Cruiserweight Champion.
00:36:18Viquingo sends him into the ropes.
00:36:20Phoenix missed with a kick.
00:36:23Off the hand.
00:36:25Cages him.
00:36:26Egg crusher.
00:36:27Glanced.
00:36:28Viquingo.
00:36:29Cover.
00:36:29Almost had him kick it, too.
00:36:32Take another look.
00:36:33And in the blink of an eye, Phoenix can turn the tides of any matchup.
00:36:43A matter of seconds before Phoenix takes flight.
00:36:47Oh, and Viquingo.
00:36:48Great move as he catches Phoenix in the apron.
00:36:52Viquingo is so cagey.
00:36:55So crafty.
00:36:57Oh, now right to the back of the head.
00:37:00And ruthless.
00:37:02That's a great way to describe him.
00:37:06Look at this.
00:37:08And Phoenix take it out.
00:37:11Cruiserweight title from AAA.
00:37:13Up for grabs.
00:37:20AAA Cruiserweight Championship is up for grabs.
00:37:24It is the champion, Ray Phoenix, against the challenger, Viquingo.
00:37:27Oh, nobody home.
00:37:28Kick right to the back of the head.
00:37:31Viquingo in a lot of trouble here.
00:37:33Goodbye, Amigo.
00:37:38Phoenix effortlessly once again scaling the ropes.
00:37:44What a fog splash.
00:37:46To the center of the ring.
00:37:48Cover.
00:37:49To retain.
00:37:49And a kick out.
00:37:52Take a look at the height and the distance.
00:37:56Covered by the champion.
00:37:58Full extension.
00:37:59Full impact.
00:38:01Phoenix very nearly ended this one.
00:38:04But Viquingo still has a little too much left in the tank.
00:38:09The champion has his sights set on the son of the Viking.
00:38:12Nobody home.
00:38:13Meteora misses.
00:38:13Big kick by Viquingo.
00:38:18Phoenix collapsing into a heap in the bottom turnbuckle.
00:38:21The challenger looking to push the pace.
00:38:24Into the corner.
00:38:24The Meteora vicious from Viquingo.
00:38:28Could be closing in on the Cruiserweight Championship.
00:38:34Oh, he caught him.
00:38:36Roll through.
00:38:37Hover.
00:38:38And a kick out.
00:38:41So innovative is the challenger.
00:38:44Viquingo got all the kick.
00:38:46Come on for this.
00:38:52Viquingo may be closing in on the Cruiserweight Championship.
00:38:56Maybe not Ray Phoenix.
00:38:58What a strike.
00:39:04Go.
00:39:05Go.
00:39:06Shots to the ribs.
00:39:08Viquingo recognizing the peril of the situation.
00:39:12Oh, my goodness.
00:39:14What on earth?
00:39:16Does Viquingo have it store here?
00:39:18Oh, God.
00:39:18From the ring post.
00:39:20Cover for the championship.
00:39:23And a kick out of two and a half.
00:39:27An unbelievable poison run up.
00:39:31From the ropes.
00:39:33It's almost miraculous.
00:39:35Phoenix survived.
00:39:39Indeed it is.
00:39:40For the Triple-A Cruiserweight Championship.
00:39:43The challenger now perched on top of the ring post.
00:39:47Wow.
00:39:49Three board, 450.
00:39:50Nobody home.
00:39:51Ray Phoenix moved out of harm's way.
00:39:53Oh.
00:39:53Down the knees in the corner.
00:39:55Phoenix.
00:39:56Hooded by Viquingo up.
00:39:58Tough ropes.
00:39:59Right to the chest.
00:40:01And now Phoenix looking to put him away.
00:40:04Marching around the ring.
00:40:05Mexican muscle buster.
00:40:09Cover.
00:40:10Phoenix retains.
00:40:14Here is your winner.
00:40:16And still the Triple-A Cruiserweight Champion.
00:40:23Ray Phoenix.
00:40:25Kudos to the challenger, Elijo Del Viquingo, who went for broke.
00:40:30And unfortunately, it did not pay off.
00:40:33Phoenix wasting no time capitalizing.
00:40:36Meteora in the turnbuckle.
00:40:37And the Mexican muscle buster.
00:40:41And still, Triple-A World Cruiserweight Champion.
00:40:46Ray Phoenix.
00:40:48And just a reminder, this is the type of action you will find each and every Saturday night.
00:40:54It's Triple-A.
00:41:02Last rebound, SmackDown.
00:41:03Our native Ex-Mori Julia versus her former business associate, Piana Chain.
00:41:07Beautiful madness brought her A-game, delivering the Northern Lights bomb to her former business
00:41:15associate, freeing herself from any sort of past association with Piana James.
00:41:22Unfortunately for Julia, her celebration would be short-lived.
00:41:26Enter the glamour.
00:41:28Blake Monroe bursting onto the SmackDown scene at Julia's expense.
00:41:33Here's Kathy Kelly.
00:41:35Yeah, thanks so much.
00:41:37I'm standing by with Julia.
00:41:39And Julia, last week you didn't even get the chance to celebrate your win over Piana James
00:41:44before Blake Monroe attacked you.
00:41:46Do you have a message for Blake?
00:41:49I don't back down from any fight.
00:41:53I put Piana behind me.
00:41:56If Blake Monroe stops being a coward,
00:42:00I will fight her.
00:42:02Anytime, anywhere, anywhere.
00:42:07That's rich coming from you, Julia.
00:42:12I mean, it would be just like you to bite the hand that feeds you.
00:42:19Listen, you got lucky.
00:42:22I beat you, kid!
00:42:23Oh my God!
00:42:24Ah!
00:42:25God!
00:42:28In case you forgot, I'm Blake Monroe, and it's so good to see you again.
00:42:37You know, as fun as that was to watch, let's not forget who's in control here.
00:42:43Ah!
00:42:44What?
00:42:44Ah!
00:42:47It's nice to see you, too.
00:42:51Oh, boy.
00:42:53Blake Monroe again.
00:42:55Well, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next,
00:42:57we'll take a look at what transpired this past Monday
00:43:00between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.
00:43:08WWE would like to give special thanks to Visit Atlantic City.
00:43:13Atlantic City is the destination for life's greatest celebrations.
00:43:18Take it back to this past Monday.
00:43:19I'll show you what happened surrounding the world heavyweight fight.
00:43:25Hello, my brother.
00:43:28You are in possession of a title that belongs to me.
00:43:34And yes, my brother, it is time to collect.
00:43:41You're the back of the line.
00:43:43You hadn't done anything of late to earn a shot at the Tribal Chief.
00:43:49When it comes to you, I am always at the front of the line.
00:43:55You have done it all.
00:43:57You have won every title there is to win.
00:44:01You have main evented every show there is to main event.
00:44:07But there is one thing in your career that you have not been able to do.
00:44:16Beat me.
00:44:20I own you.
00:44:24I have owned you since the day I put a steel chair in your back.
00:44:38I took your main event, and you couldn't do a damn thing about it.
00:44:42One, two, three.
00:44:47I sacrificed myself so Cody Rhodes could end your reign of terror.
00:44:59Triple threat match.
00:45:00I hid you in the center of this ring.
00:45:04And took your wise man.
00:45:08Fourteen years.
00:45:10You and I have been tied together.
00:45:14What do you want your legacy to be?
00:45:17You're right.
00:45:18I don't want to beat you.
00:45:22I need to beat you.
00:45:26And at SummerSlam, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:45:32Two former teammates.
00:45:35Two bitter rivals.
00:45:38It all culminates at SummerSlam.
00:45:45It is now official at the biggest party of the summer in Minnesota, SummerSlam.
00:45:52The tribal chief, Roman Reigns, defends his world heavyweight championship
00:45:57against the man who never lost that title, Seth Freakin' Rollins.
00:46:27We're here because the OTC sent us on a mission to find Solo.
00:46:30Now, can you help us?
00:46:32Do you know where he at?
00:46:33Or do you not know where he at?
00:46:34Because if you don't, we're just going to handle our family businesses.
00:46:39Family needs.
00:46:40Blood don't make you family.
00:46:44Loyalty makes you family.
00:46:46I've been your day one for the last 14 years.
00:46:51Right?
00:46:53I've been loyal to you.
00:46:54So guess what?
00:46:56As far as I'm concerned, I'm your family.
00:47:03Not no more.
00:47:06Right, Jacob?
00:47:08Jacob?
00:48:09The best man to ever breathe, Lil Yachty, and the United States Champion, Rick Williams.
00:48:22The best man to ever breathe, Michael Cole.
00:48:26Do you know what a dubious distinction that is?
00:48:28Lil Yachty, my God.
00:48:30Rick Williams, still the United States Champion.
00:48:34After a hell of a battle this past Saturday, a night of champions, the absolute Ricky Sanks.
00:48:57I feel like there's Lil Yachty who's out here dressed like Kim Chi.
00:49:03Hey, let me get me some of those boots.
00:49:05Let's go.
00:49:08Let's go.
00:49:34What?
00:49:37What?
00:49:37What?
00:50:07Oh, this is interesting.
00:50:15I would never recommend interrupting Lil Yachty or Trick Williams.
00:50:23Carmelo Hayes has done just that.
00:50:27The former United States Champion, I guarantee you, Corey, he was watching Trick and Ricky this past Saturday Night of
00:50:35Champions.
00:50:35Carmelo Hayes, a former United States Champion in his own right.
00:50:39His career deeply intertwined with Trick Williams dating all the way back to their tenure in NXT.
00:50:53That's why I like Carmelo.
00:50:55He's never been afraid to ruffle a few feathers.
00:50:57I'm at the top, get respect while I get there.
00:51:01Who's got a problem, huh?
00:51:02Tell him to stab your head.
00:51:04Yeah!
00:51:06Yeah!
00:51:08Yeah!
00:51:15All right, Trick.
00:51:17Let's get serious.
00:51:19Let's get to business.
00:51:22Look, on Saturday, Ricky couldn't get the job done.
00:51:26So now it looks like Atlantic City, we have no other choice but to run it back, you and me,
00:51:36for that United States Championship.
00:51:38If you bout it, bout it.
00:51:44No answer.
00:51:45Okay, you know what?
00:51:46I expected that.
00:51:48But before I go where I gotta go, Trick, you know what?
00:51:51Let me just give you your flowers.
00:51:53Everything that you do, man, it's larger than life.
00:51:57Title looks great on you.
00:51:59The crowd, they love you.
00:52:01You unstoppable.
00:52:03But that's because I haven't decided to stop you yet.
00:52:11I made that championship a championship.
00:52:15You turned that title into an accessory.
00:52:19So if you and Lil Yachty wanna run around here with a title, I get you a discount code on
00:52:25WWE Shop.
00:52:27It's easy.
00:52:31It's easy.
00:52:33Trick.
00:52:34Trick.
00:52:34That championship, that's the workhorse championship.
00:52:40That's the match of the night championship.
00:52:43That championship is for guys who are hungry.
00:52:46And it looks like me.
00:52:48You walk around here like you had too much to eat.
00:52:50Let's really talk about it.
00:52:54I'm just getting started.
00:52:56Trick, I say all that just to say this, man.
00:53:01Prove me wrong.
00:53:02Prove me wrong.
00:53:04Put that title against somebody that knows you better than anybody.
00:53:10Because all this talk about you on track to be one of the greatest U.S. champions of all time,
00:53:15I'm not buying it.
00:53:18Because you might be able to walk the walk and talk the talk when you in there with them.
00:53:22But the reality is, you got two left feet and a mouth full of marbles once you get in there
00:53:27with him.
00:53:29Ah, my lord.
00:53:30God dang!
00:53:31Who are you talking to?
00:53:35Look, this ain't no Willy Nilly Carlo from NXT, okay?
00:53:39This is Trick Willy.
00:53:41The one and only Trick Willy might I need to add the United States champion.
00:53:47And since being caught up to the big leagues, he has been nothing short of pure greatness, okay?
00:53:56Now, I understand you would like a match, right?
00:54:02Atlantic City, should we give this young small man a match?
00:54:18Slow down, alright?
00:54:19Don't blow a blood vessel.
00:54:21We got you.
00:54:22You know what?
00:54:23Matter of fact, next week, you got yourself a match.
00:54:30But it's not for the championship.
00:54:32Relax, alright?
00:54:34Hey, we gave you that chance, you blew it, you failed.
00:54:37Look, we're not just going to keep giving out title shots, baby.
00:54:40You understand?
00:54:40Titles are earned, not given, all right?
00:54:43But you are lucky because the champ needs to get his reps in.
00:54:46So, with that being said, you got to match next week.
00:54:50But please understand, next week when things get tricky,
00:54:55you will have no more excuses as to why you cannot get the job done.
00:55:05You know what, Melo?
00:55:07It's funny.
00:55:09I guess with all the history that you and me have,
00:55:12I really do know you like the back of my hand.
00:55:21Oh!
00:55:22Oh, ho, ho!
00:55:23Mind your fingers from grown folk talking!
00:55:29What a backhand from Williams.
00:55:36Carmelo can get a chance at revenge next Friday night, Corey.
00:55:42Carmelo can prove that he truly is him.
00:55:46But it is a tall pass in the form.
00:55:49Wait a minute!
00:55:50Oh!
00:55:50Carmelo Hayes takes out Trent Williams.
00:55:53Why wait till next week?
00:56:01What's up, Keep?
00:56:04What's up Jake?
00:56:05Get a Sketby!
00:56:07Be Brook Derím!
00:56:07Let me carry this rigtig.
00:56:09A NXTbijgiried I'm a part lit.
00:56:10Melo wants a title.
00:56:11Melo wants Trix hayes.
00:56:23That would be wonderful, because I don't have any of it.
00:56:26I don't know who I'm gonna ask, so- Dan Housen.
00:56:28Hey, Zack Ryder, how are you?
00:56:30Woo woo woo.
00:56:30You know.
00:56:32Anyway, I saw what happened on Raw with the Judgment Day.
00:56:34Yeah, no need to worry, Dan Housen has it taken care of.
00:56:36He has a match with that guy with the head.
00:56:38He's always following around Dominic Mysterious.
00:56:40J.D. McDonough?
00:56:42Yeah, maybe that's it, I don't know.
00:56:43Anyway, I'm gonna wrestle him at Saturday night's main event at Madison Square Garden.
00:56:48Hope you need any backup on your guy.
00:56:50No need, I just got back up on the phone, you saw.
00:56:54Invisible backup?
00:56:56No, he's real, he's from New York.
00:56:58I'm gonna take a train down there, I'm gonna meet him,
00:56:59I'm gonna explain the whole plan to him, it's gonna be great.
00:57:02It does sound great, yeah.
00:57:03Yeah, actually, you know what, since you're here, I have something for you.
00:57:05You can help Dan Housen finish his new experiments.
00:57:08You just have to twist that.
00:57:10No, why do I have to do it?
00:57:11Because you're muskies.
00:57:12That's a good point.
00:57:13Okay, just twist this?
00:57:14Yeah, twist it.
00:57:15Okay.
00:57:15Let's see.
00:57:18What?
00:57:19What's going on?
00:57:20Oh, what?
00:57:20Hey, wow, what is this?
00:57:21Wow.
00:57:22This isn't supposed to be happening around.
00:57:23What is it?
00:57:25Ah, the Judgment Day must have sabotaged my experiment.
00:57:27Oh, what am I going to do?
00:57:27Uh, I gotta go, Zack Ryder.
00:57:30You're not in charge of me.
00:57:32You're not in charge of me.
00:57:34You're not in charge of me.
00:57:34Oh my God, take care, spike your hair.
00:57:41Somebody save those guys.
00:57:47They're okay.
00:57:51Patterson compassion.
00:57:53You don't know me how long, Cole.
00:57:58I'm absolutely thankful.
00:58:01The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:58:06Introducing first, accompanied by Paige.
00:58:10She is one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:58:17WWE Hall of Famer, Brie Bella.
00:58:22For the first time in a decade, Brie Bella's in a one-on-one match against Lady Ribe next.
00:58:32There we see a main event, Jey Uso preparing for battle.
00:58:36Will it be Jey or will it be Cody Rhodes who heads to Chicago Monday on Raw to challenge the
00:58:43new WWE Champion, Sami Zayn?
00:58:45Five, six, seven, eight.
00:58:49Went out for the Tag Team Champions, Brie Bella.
00:58:52Set for her first one-on-one match in ten years.
00:58:55Here tonight on SmackDown.
00:59:02I get deep in the night.
00:59:04No, we won't let you in.
00:59:07Cause we hold on the light.
00:59:09And I'll blind you in sight.
00:59:12And I know the front lines.
00:59:15You can't say the same.
00:59:17Don't say the way you may tell.
00:59:20We'll take hold of this game.
00:59:22And her opponent representing Fatal Influence, Lainey Reed.
00:59:30Lainey Reed set for one-on-one action here tonight.
00:59:33But let's show you what happened last week on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:59:37It was a homecoming in London for Paige versus J.C. Jane.
00:59:40J.C. Jane representing Fatal Influence.
00:59:42It was a matter of time before Fallon Henley and Lainey Reed would get involved.
00:59:47And it would take Paige's attention off of the task at hand.
00:59:51In which J.C. Jane would attempt to capitalize.
00:59:53However, Paige was able to rely on her veteran experience.
00:59:57And turn the table back into her own favor.
01:00:00A disappointing night for Fatal Influence.
01:00:04So Lainey Reed, less than three years since her debut here at WWE, set to go one-on-one with
01:00:11the Hall of Famer, Brie Bella.
01:00:13What Lainey Reed may lack in experience, she overcompensates for in raw physical ability.
01:00:19To your point, this woman is double tough.
01:00:22But Brie Bella certainly has the experience.
01:00:25Oh, wow.
01:00:25My goodness.
01:00:26What a left hand to the chin of Brie Bella.
01:00:29I don't even know how Brie is still standing.
01:00:31That's the type of shot that will make you rethink your career path.
01:00:34But Brie Bella explodes out of the corner.
01:00:37And Brie is ticked off.
01:00:40And look at this.
01:00:41Going to separate the shoulder of Lainey Reed.
01:00:44Trying to put this one away early in a kickout by Reed.
01:00:47What a physical battle.
01:00:51Remember, Lainey Reed, Fallon Henley, a Fatal Influence.
01:00:54Couldn't get the job done against Brie and Paige in a tag match a couple of weeks ago.
01:00:59It's belly-to-back suplex by Reed.
01:01:07And now Lainey Reed tries to drop the elbow as Brie Bella moves out of harm's way.
01:01:12You can't get overconfident when you're dealing with a veteran, let alone a Hall of Famer like Brie Bella.
01:01:18There isn't much in this game.
01:01:19Brie has an experience.
01:01:21She's going to have to rely on that experience to get past the physically gifted Lainey Reed.
01:01:28And a great strategy is Brie now has turned her focus on the left arm and shoulder of Lainey Reed.
01:01:34I'll tell you, that left hand really sent Brie off into a frenzy.
01:01:40Reed was able to weather the storm.
01:01:43We've got J.C. Jain, Fallon Henley on the outside, cheerleading.
01:01:49Reed now powering Brie Bella up to the top turnbuckle.
01:01:53Oh!
01:01:54And another fierce left from Reed.
01:01:57My God!
01:01:58I think this woman may have knockout power.
01:02:00Brie Bella hanging in there, though.
01:02:02Went out for the tag team champions.
01:02:04Come on, Brie!
01:02:04Come on, Brie!
01:02:07Bella with a missile dropkick.
01:02:09Come on, Brie!
01:02:12Come on, Brie!
01:02:13And Paige looking to rally Brie.
01:02:16And here come the yes kicks.
01:02:18I'm sure if Miz had his wits about him in Dan Housen's lap, he would be honored.
01:02:22Has somebody checked on him?
01:02:24Then Kit Wilson.
01:02:26Oh!
01:02:27Lady Reed trying to take advantage of the distraction.
01:02:33Brie going to land on her feet.
01:02:36Down goes Reed.
01:02:40Bella rolled through it.
01:02:41And now she's looking for the yes lock.
01:02:44The yes lock is in.
01:02:46Will Lady Reed tap out?
01:02:49Come on, Lady, huh?
01:02:51Fallon Henley trying to get the attention of Brie Bella as Brie continues to crank in the yes lock.
01:02:58And now Paige going to get involved.
01:03:01Come on, man.
01:03:03Down goes Henley.
01:03:05J.C.
01:03:05Jane misses wildly.
01:03:06Paige drives her into the ring post.
01:03:09Oh, what a right.
01:03:11Meanwhile, in the ring, the yes lock still being applied.
01:03:14And now Brie Bella has to let it go to come to the aid.
01:03:16Oh, cover partner.
01:03:18Come on, bring it in.
01:03:18Come on, sir.
01:03:19J.L. Influence throwing bombs tonight.
01:03:22And Lady Reed with a runny knee, takes advantage of the numbers.
01:03:27One, two, three.
01:03:28And Reed has pinned one out for the tag team champions.
01:03:32Here is your winner, Lady Reed.
01:03:40What a win for Lady Reed, thanks to the assist from Fallon Henley and J.C. Jane.
01:03:52Natal influence.
01:03:54Big win for Reed tonight.
01:04:05The winner, who is the winner?
01:04:07Our truth.
01:04:08Yes!
01:04:09Yes!
01:04:10Once again, the U.S.A. has beat England.
01:04:13Happy birthday, America!
01:04:15U.S.A.
01:04:17U.S.A.
01:04:17U.S.A.
01:04:18Tomorrow, truth, tomorrow.
01:04:19That's what I said, dog.
01:04:20I think I'm going to be sick.
01:04:21I thought you were fast, dude.
01:04:22Yeah, not today, amigo.
01:04:24Hey, man, I think you're a little too good at this.
01:04:26I love eating, dog.
01:04:27You should try.
01:04:28Put some ketchup on it.
01:04:29Priest!
01:04:30Truth!
01:04:31You boys, think about our offer, or you're just going to shove hot dogs in your face.
01:04:37How dare you!
01:04:39He just bit your wiener.
01:04:42You're supposed to swallow that dog.
01:04:44True.
01:04:45You know what?
01:04:46I got it.
01:04:47Y'all want it!
01:04:48All on the line.
01:04:50Triple I tag title.
01:04:51WB tag title.
01:04:53All for a hot dog eating contest.
01:04:56Get your throat ready.
01:04:57Let's do this, dog.
01:04:58This guy every week is the same.
01:05:01That's what I said.
01:05:01Now you tell him that.
01:05:03In English.
01:05:03Look, guys.
01:05:04Aldous isn't here this week.
01:05:06So I don't know when.
01:05:08Titles for title.
01:05:10You're on.
01:05:11But it's happening on SmackDown.
01:05:14Let's roll.
01:05:15You're gonna lose your mask and your luchador status.
01:05:19Is this it?
01:05:20Little Jimmy!
01:05:24How'd you eat the hot dog, man?
01:05:30Coming up next, we'll take a look back at the intense confrontation between Brock Lesnar and Obafemi on Raw this
01:05:40past Monday night.
01:05:48Oba, I want to make sure I heard you right.
01:05:51You did.
01:05:52So Summerslam, you're sure?
01:05:54100% sure?
01:05:55Yes, I'm sure.
01:05:56It needs to happen and I will be the one to put an entry in it.
01:06:01Ladies and gentlemen, your 2026 King of the Ring, Obafemi!
01:06:12Now that destiny has played out, she's not finished with me.
01:06:17A choice has to be made.
01:06:26Congratulations.
01:06:27That's a hell of a feat.
01:06:29King of the Ring.
01:06:30Now my apologies, Oba.
01:06:32I have not watched the show.
01:06:34Everybody knows I don't watch the show.
01:06:37I gotta rely on Mr. Heyman over here.
01:06:40Paul tells me that you're really good at calling me names.
01:06:44Like, when I'm not here, you call Brock Lesnar a coward.
01:06:48I'm a coward, Brock Lesnar.
01:06:49When I'm not here, you call Brock Lesnar a coward.
01:06:54You've got a pretty big decision to make.
01:06:58Maybe I can rub you off with that.
01:07:00You know what they say.
01:07:05Talk s**t.
01:07:07Get hit.
01:07:18Hey, you said I called you names behind your back.
01:07:25Well, guess what?
01:07:26You're in front of me and you're still it.
01:07:30Me and you, one on one, Obafemi versus Brock Lesnar at Summer Slam.
01:07:38I accept, Oba, but here's one condition.
01:07:43Hell in a cell.
01:07:47We finished this.
01:07:49No more games.
01:07:53The match is set.
01:07:56The beast, Brock Lesnar.
01:07:59The king, Obafemi.
01:08:01Locked inside the steel structure known as hell in a cell at Summer Slam.
01:08:09What's happening?
01:08:10We was in the race.
01:08:11We laughed up.
01:08:12Better feelings go.
01:08:13We did.
01:08:16Hey, Cody.
01:08:17Ben.
01:08:18What's up, mate?
01:08:19I didn't get around to it.
01:08:20I apologize.
01:08:21Welcome to SmackDown.
01:08:23Well, Cody, I gotta be honest.
01:08:26One of the main reasons I came to SmackDown was the idea to face a new.
01:08:30But I hoped it was gonna be for the title.
01:08:33So go get it back.
01:08:35It starts tonight.
01:08:36Good luck.
01:08:41Hey, Finn.
01:08:44What's up, Tama?
01:08:46I thought about what you said last week.
01:08:47Oh, yeah?
01:08:49So I went to the elders for guidance.
01:08:52What I should do next.
01:08:53Oh, yeah?
01:08:54What's that got to do with me?
01:08:57Yeah!
01:08:59Oh, f**k!
01:09:01Oh, f**k!
01:09:03Oh, f**k!
01:09:04Oh, f**k!
01:09:04Oh, f**k!
01:09:05Oh, f**k!
01:09:06Oh, f**k!
01:09:06Oh, f**k!
01:09:06I'm closing the books on everything for my past.
01:09:10And you're next.
01:09:31Please, please, come on, use it!
01:09:35Oh, yeah!
01:09:36Who are you?
01:09:56It is time for our main event.
01:10:00Who will head to Chicago to challenge Sami Zayn this Monday on Raw?
01:10:05Will it be main event Jey Uso or the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes?
01:10:16We are set for a main event here tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.
01:10:19Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes, the winner to face Sami Zayn for the WWE Championship Monday night on Raw from Chicago.
01:10:35Wrestling has more than one, Royal Family.
01:10:54Locked On-Malaki, the winner to be
01:10:57In your soul, everything out of control.
01:11:01Do it all that can't be lost to me
01:11:07Crowd is here about the flow
01:11:10Waiting for me to stop the show
01:11:13I'm a gun like the world from home
01:11:17Whoa!
01:11:23We're all younger
01:11:25And his opponent
01:11:28From Atlanta, Georgia
01:11:31Waiting for 222 times
01:11:35The American Nightmare
01:11:39Cody Rhodes
01:11:43Very interesting that a few weeks back
01:11:46It was Jey Uso who was cast by Roman Reigns
01:11:50Was becoming King of the Ring
01:11:52So that Jey could dethrone the then WWE Champion
01:11:56Cody Rhodes
01:11:57Now Cody still stands in Jey's path
01:12:00But without the gold tonight
01:12:02A lot of history between these two
01:12:04They were once tag team champions together
01:12:08Cody and Jey
01:12:11The second time in their career
01:12:13They'll go one-on-one in a matchup
01:12:22This could boil down to which of these two superstars is able to compartmentalize their relationship better
01:12:28You have to let friendship flip to the back of your mind
01:12:32In fact, forget about it all together
01:12:34Because your friend is the only thing left standing between you and a shot at the undisputed WWE title
01:12:40There's also a ton of pressure tonight on Jey Uso
01:12:43Remember the world champion in Roman Reigns
01:12:46Dave Jey is marking the winners in the King of the Ring tournament
01:12:48Winnias thinks he could go on to SummerSlam to take on the WWE Champion
01:12:52So the bloodline can have all the gold
01:12:54Well, Jey lost to Obafemi and the King of the Ring
01:12:56So another opportunity tonight for Jey Uso to earn a chance at the WWE title
01:13:02And make Roman's wishes come true
01:13:08So Cody and Jey, high stakes matchup in our main event tonight
01:13:13As for Cody Rhodes
01:13:14How did being pinned by Sami Zayn in the triple threat affect him mentally heading into this matchup?
01:13:20I don't know how badly it affected Cody Rhodes
01:13:22Only that Cody has experienced this position before
01:13:25He has been champion and had it taken from him
01:13:28Cody understands as well as anybody how to get back on the horse
01:13:31Dust yourself off and continue the journey
01:13:34Jey Uso, a former world champion in his own way
01:13:37He knows what's at stake here
01:13:38Jey tried to catch Cody
01:13:40Cody looking for an early crossroads
01:13:42Snap mirror takedown by Jey and a stare-off
01:13:51Cody, how do you put Jey away tonight?
01:13:54Show Jey something that perhaps he hasn't seen before
01:13:57Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes, to your point, know one another so well
01:14:00As former tag team championship partners
01:14:03They've seen just about every play in one another's books
01:14:05The fact is, Cody, or Jey for that matter
01:14:08Has to be the first to show a new look
01:14:11Run a different play
01:14:12Throw your opponent off guard
01:14:13Jey sent him to the corner
01:14:15And Jey Uso had a great performance against Oba Febby
01:14:19And a losing cause
01:14:20Wait a minute
01:14:20Cody slipped off the apron
01:14:22And Jey Uso gonna make a pay down
01:14:24With a suicide dive
01:14:25Jey Uso has taken over
01:14:33This has been a physical matchup since the get-go
01:14:35Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso
01:14:37Winner goes to Raw Monday night
01:14:39And plays Sami Zayn
01:14:40The brand new WWE champion
01:14:44Here comes the main event
01:14:46Jey Uso fighting his way back into this thing
01:14:49But Cody dropped down with the right hand
01:14:52Rhodes who lost the WWE title last Saturday night
01:14:56At night of champions
01:15:00And a Cody cutter
01:15:02Rhodes into the cover
01:15:05And Jey Uso kicks out at two
01:15:14Jey Uso needs to figure a way back into this thing
01:15:17I think Jey may have tweaked his ankle a bit
01:15:20He's been favoring it here
01:15:21Snapbear take down
01:15:23Now a Samoa drop to Cody
01:15:25Yeah, I agree with you, Cole
01:15:26It was off of this suicide dive to the outside
01:15:28Jey hasn't quite been the same competitor in the moment since
01:15:32And I fully expect Cody
01:15:33To have taken notice of that situation
01:15:36The American Nightmare laid out here on our announce table
01:15:40Is main event Jey Uso making his way as well
01:15:43And Jey Uso now runs into a kick by Rhodes
01:15:46Jey now sent over the announce table into the floor
01:15:49And now Cody Rhodes
01:15:51Cleaning up our announce table here
01:15:53Cody understands the assignment
01:15:54This is what it's gonna take
01:15:55Oh no, no, no, no
01:15:56You can't show any mercy
01:15:58When there's a title shot on the line
01:16:02Cody Rhodes hitting the announce table hard
01:16:05And now main event Jey Uso vicious in his attack
01:16:15And Jey now looking to pull out all the stops
01:16:18Uso went for the suicide dive
01:16:20Cody caught him with the right hand
01:16:23Rhodes now launching main event into the timekeeper's area
01:16:28Cody doing everything he can here
01:16:30Launching himself off the barricade
01:16:32And down goes Uso
01:16:35This fight is spilling out everywhere
01:16:40The official Dan Engler with his hands full here tonight
01:16:45And this is exactly what both Cody and Jey should have expected
01:16:49Neither man letting up
01:16:51This is to determine who's the number one contender for the WWE title
01:17:04The winner of this match heads to Monday Night Raw
01:17:06For a WWE Championship opportunity against Sami Zayn
01:17:10Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso in a physical battle here tonight
01:17:14In our main event on Friday Night Smackdown
01:17:16Rough landing for Cody
01:17:18Here comes Jey
01:17:19Uso splash
01:17:20Cover
01:17:22Is it enough
01:17:23Cody kicks out
01:17:27Take another look at this
01:17:29Jey Uso soaring through the skies
01:17:32Full impact on the Uso splash
01:17:36Perhaps not the best cover executed by Uso
01:17:40Otherwise this one may be over
01:17:42The official in this matchup
01:17:43Dan Engler
01:17:44The man who counted the 1-2-3
01:17:46For Sami Zayn over Cody Rhodes this past Saturday
01:17:48In the triple threat match
01:17:50Cody with a kick now to Jey
01:17:52Gonna head up to the top rope
01:17:54Looking for a massive Cody cutter
01:17:55Is this enough to send him to the wall
01:17:59And a kick out by Jey
01:18:06Why not to get frustrated here
01:18:09Hasn't been able to put Uso away
01:18:21Went for disaster
01:18:22Ran into a kick of his own
01:18:26Spear
01:18:27Jey Uso
01:18:28Going to Chicago
01:18:30No
01:18:34And that's a heartbreaker for main event Jey Uso
01:18:38Delivering a spear
01:18:40The crown of his head
01:18:42Right into the ribcage of Cody Rhodes
01:18:44But the American Nightmare kicks out
01:18:50Critical point in this matchup
01:18:55Both of these men
01:18:57Have put their bodies through hell here tonight
01:19:01All in the name of an opportunity
01:19:03One chance to become undisputed WWE champion
01:19:07For Cody Rhodes again
01:19:10For Jey for the very first time
01:19:12Cody rolls out of hearts
01:19:13Cody it's a spear
01:19:14Cody it's a spear on Jey
01:19:16Now he's got him where he wants him
01:19:19Crossroads by Cody
01:19:21Cover
01:19:24Cody almost had him
01:19:25And a kick out by Jey
01:19:27And now Cody's gotta be questioning himself
01:19:29What do I need to do to put Jey away?
01:19:35Ask those questions later Cody
01:19:37Keep your foot on the gas pedal
01:19:41Rhodes cannot allow doubt to creep into his mind at this juncture
01:19:46Cody knows what it means to be in the main event
01:19:49Cody knows what it means to be QB1
01:19:52And now is not the time for an internal crisis
01:19:57Not quite sure what Cody's planning to do here
01:20:00It looks to me like Cody's feeling desperate
01:20:06Cody hit it all the way up to the top rope
01:20:11Rhodes with a splash
01:20:13The knees up by Jey
01:20:14Rolls up Cody
01:20:15Is it enough?
01:20:16Cody kicks at it too
01:20:20Another near fall
01:20:22High pressure here
01:20:26The high risk that backfired on Rhodes
01:20:29Jey with the presence of mind to get both knees up
01:20:34They also never know
01:20:35When you're gonna get another championship opportunity
01:20:38A world title opportunity
01:20:42One of these men will earn one tonight
01:20:54Both Rhodes and Uso looking to empty their tanks in the middle of the ring
01:20:59That's how valuable an undisputed title opportunity is
01:21:04The chance at immortality
01:21:10Cody wants an opportunity to become a four-time champion
01:21:13And now Jey Uso trying to lock in the sleeve
01:21:15The move that won the world title at WrestleMania
01:21:23Is Cody fading?
01:21:25Nope
01:21:28Jey lands on his feet
01:21:29On a roll by Uso
01:21:35Cody able to turn around at least momentarily
01:21:37Now backed up into the corner
01:21:39Jey trying to lock it in again
01:21:43Jey wanted a sleeper hold
01:21:44Jey wanted a sleeper hold
01:21:45Looked to adjust into it
01:21:47Perhaps a dragon sleeper
01:21:48Or maybe even a crossroads
01:21:50Speaking of
01:21:54Crossroads again by Cody
01:21:57Rhodes with a cover
01:21:59Cody Rhodes
01:22:01Is gonna get a WWE title opportunity
01:22:05Here is your winner
01:22:07The American Nightmare
01:22:11The American Nightmare
01:22:27Cody Rhodes
01:22:28Was able to slip past a fairy game
01:22:32Jey Uso tonight
01:22:34Rhodes is headed to the second city
01:22:37Intent on reclaiming the undisputed WWE championship
01:22:42The stage is set
01:22:44Monday night on Raw
01:22:47From Chicago
01:22:49Cody
01:22:50Sammy
01:22:51For the undisputed WWE championship
