00:00:12Then, now, forever.
00:00:37The following contest is a Triple Threat match for
00:00:41the undisputed WWE Championship.
00:00:46Rhoans the champion, Zayn and Gunther the challengers.
00:00:49Triple Threat rules tonight.
00:00:53What an atmosphere in here.
00:00:57Cody to retain.
00:00:59And these two men, who watched the closest of friends, now fighting it for the biggest
00:01:04prize in the business.
00:01:06Zayn wants a package pile driver.
00:01:12This is Gunther's moment.
00:01:17But Zayn would not let Cody's heart fall.
00:01:23Zayn's got a chance.
00:01:28Crossbones.
00:01:29And Cody, is he gonna look for one more on Sammy?
00:01:36Oh my God.
00:01:40A lot of folks said, I would never win the WWE Championship.
00:01:47A miracle in Riyadh.
00:01:50But I stand here tonight, in front of my people.
00:01:54I stand here tonight, in front of my people.
00:01:55I'm a champion.
00:01:58I'm a champion.
00:02:08I'm a champion.
00:02:16I'm a champion.
00:02:26Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the new undisputed WWE Champion, Sammy Zayn.
00:02:44Do not adjust the television screen.
00:02:54Ladies and gentlemen, you saw it just moments ago.
00:02:57The miracle in this past Saturday, at Night of Champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
00:03:03On his 10th try, after a quarter of a century in the business,
00:03:08Sammy Zayn wins his first WWE Championship.
00:03:13The culmination of a lifelong dream before our very eyes in Riyadh.
00:03:20A moment that will never be forgotten, especially for Sammy Zayn.
00:03:43Sammy admitted himself.
00:03:46He never thought it would happen, and he finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
00:04:27It seems to me, like a lot of folks out here tonight, came to ride or die with the last
00:04:39real good guy.
00:04:48And I just want to say, before I even get started, the overwhelming reaction,
00:04:53the love that I've gotten over the last few days since winning this,
00:04:57it's really touched me from the bottom of my heart.
00:05:08But, the whole thing is really kind of funny considering for the past six months, I've come out here and
00:05:15I've been booed out of the building every single time.
00:05:22And it's funny because the people booing were the same people who three years ago were dying to see Sami
00:05:29Zayn as the WWE Champion.
00:05:32But then they decided, oh, this guy's never gonna do it, they jumped off the bandwagon, they turned their backs
00:05:39on me, they wanted to boo me, but now I have this.
00:05:43So I could be petty if I wanted to, I could be petty and tell every single one of those
00:05:50people who turned their backs on me to kiss my ass.
00:06:01But I won't, but I won't, and you want to know why, because I am a good guy.
00:06:13And that is the same reason why I'm holding this, because I never changed.
00:06:20Everyone told me if you want to win, you have to be a bit more selfish, you need to be
00:06:25a bit more cutthroat,
00:06:27you need to do some things you don't want to do, and I didn't.
00:06:31I won this the way I always said I would win it, I did it my way, I did it
00:06:37the right way.
00:06:44And I could be petty, trust me, I could be petty.
00:06:48And I could tell every single one of those people that said, oh, he's not championship material,
00:06:53he'll never win the big one, I could very easily tell each and every single one of them to kiss
00:07:01my ass.
00:07:09But I won't, I won't, because this is a celebration people, huh, am I right, am I right?
00:07:25And you know what it is we're celebrating here tonight?
00:07:39You're damn right, Sami, we are celebrating me.
00:07:45We are celebrating the new WWE Champion.
00:07:50We are celebrating the end of the debate once and for all.
00:07:54I forever go down now as one of the all time greats.
00:07:59I will forever be known now as Sami Zayn, WrestleMania Main Eventer, Grand Slam Champion.
00:08:13Until the day I die and beyond, I will forever be known as a WWE Champion.
00:08:22And no amount of booing, no amount of hate, no amount of noise,
00:08:28will ever, ever take that away from me.
00:08:35Wrestling has more than one royal family.
00:09:08me, watching me.
00:09:08I'll be fine, now.
00:09:08I'll be fine.
00:09:09Made it for me to start the show, I'm the guy who likes to watch the whole world.
00:09:24Well, the man who was the WWE Champion.
00:09:31Cody Rhodes, pinned by Sami Zayn in the Triple Threat Match this past Saturday night.
00:09:38As for Sami Zayn, Corey Graves, not quite the celebratory speech that I was expecting from the champion.
00:09:47Sami Zayn has more than earned the right to air his grievances, he is now the kingpin here on SmackDown.
00:09:55And I gotta be perfectly honest, seeing Cody make the walk to the ring without the gold around his waist
00:10:01feels a little uncomfortable.
00:10:59Sammy, Cody, so what do you want to talk about?
00:11:14It's very simple. You said something I had forgotten. You reminded me of it. When I won that WWE Championship,
00:11:22you were the very first to come into the ring and celebrate with me. So I didn't want to wait
00:11:29in line. I wanted to be the first here, as you put it, during this celebration to tell you congratulations,
00:11:39champ.
00:12:03Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What, that's it? Hey, hey, hey, come back here.
00:12:12come back here a sec Cody come on let's not do this okay let's not play this game
00:12:17for once in your just just drop the act for a second okay drop the American nightmare drop
00:12:24the golden boy and just be Cody for one second we both know that's not the only reason you came
00:12:28out
00:12:29here I have something that you once had now it's mine it's something I know you want it's something
00:12:40I know you are addicted to so just be honest with me for once in your life Cody no no
00:12:47no forget the
00:12:49games just come right out and say it tell me why you're really out here
00:13:06we found out Monday night exactly why main event Jey Uso is here on SmackDown he had March in order
00:13:14some Roman reigns during the king of the ring tournament to win and go on to take the WWE
00:13:21championship so the bloodline could have all the gold that didn't happen without the Sami Zayn
00:13:26champion Jey Uso said he was going to show up here tonight tell Sami he wanted a shot at the
00:13:31title
00:13:48Cody what up come on dog
00:14:12I'm not gonna run it back cuz it's about my dog Sami Zayn right now I'm so proud of you
00:14:19Uso
00:14:19I'm not gonna run it back cuz it's about my dog Sami Zayn right now I'm so proud of you
00:14:20Uso
00:14:20man you earned that you deserved that but you know why I'm here Uso
00:14:36bloodline business Sami this your warning shot
00:14:44I need to bring that gold back to the family
00:14:50the family what year is this the family do we not know who each other are I mean it's him
00:14:59who's
00:15:00standing here WWE champion and since those days correct me if I'm wrong you've been world heavyweight
00:15:06champion so at what point did my friend Jey Uso revert to just running errands for the tribal chief
00:15:17and besides we were just talking about my rematch
00:15:24were we okay I'm gonna put a stop to this right now we're not doing this okay
00:15:29J no one was happier for you than me when you won the world championship I laid back and Cody
00:15:36despite what
00:15:37you might think I never came for you I never stabbed you in the back I never gunned for your
00:15:41title
00:15:42you had your chance you had your chance now it is my time to be WWE champion
00:15:52what was it that you told me Cody as long as I have this you never will
00:15:59well now it's mine and J what did you say you said the WWE championship needs to come back to
00:16:07the family
00:16:07as far as I'm concerned it's still in the family
00:16:13and it's gonna stay on my shoulders no one's touching this you understand no one is touching this
00:16:23so I say this as a friend I say this as family both of you stay away from me
00:16:36hold on hold on Sammy Sammy actually hold on Sammy if you don't mind
00:16:42now I know you're aware all this isn't here you know he got sent home after his little dust up
00:16:47with
00:16:47Gunther which means for the first time in a very long time and it feels pretty damn good
00:16:52I am the acting general manager of Smackdown which is big for you Sammy because that means my first
00:17:01order of business is to find you a challenger
00:17:07with respect Adam don't I as champion have a little bit of say of who I face at SummerSlam
00:17:21with respect Sammy who said anything about SummerSlam
00:17:26look I get it if all this could bother to show up and do his job he'd probably give you
00:17:31exactly
00:17:32what you want but Nick's not here I am so we do it my way and that means you will
00:17:39defend that
00:17:40undisputed WWE championship this Monday on Raw

00:22:08well Tiffany and Chelsea seem to get along now but I'm not sure if Charlotte Flair is brought into this
00:22:13Chelsea Green experience
00:22:14as I've said it for a long long time Charlotte Flair works best on her own
00:22:20can she coexist sure

00:22:26let's see this scene happen

00:22:53and the opponents the team of
00:23:03these three have not been kind to Charlotte Flair let's take you back to two weeks ago
00:23:08Charlotte before her semi-final match up in the queen of the ring with Lynn Morgan
00:23:13backstage Cargill
00:23:14Charlotte Meachin and BFAB would lay a beat down on the queen Charlotte Flair
00:23:20yeah but this past Saturday Charlotte Flair got a bit of retribution when she cost Jade Cargill an opportunity to
00:23:27knock off Tiffany Stratton to the United States Championship
00:23:31six woman tag team match up Charlotte Tiffany and Chelsea against BFAB Meachin and Jade Cargill
00:23:37that team Jade Cargill and company actually knocked off the team of Charlotte and Alexa and Rhea Ripley back at
00:23:44Saturday night's main event in May
00:23:47sorry I was thrown off by Chelsea and Tippy trying to do their best Sophie Cunningham to incite some sort
00:23:52of angst before this matchup
00:23:53and here we go the United States champion Tiffany Stratton squaring off against the woman she beat at night of
00:23:58champions
00:23:58Jade Cargill in this matchup again ladies and gentlemen

00:24:05on Friday night Smackdown Tiffany Stratton driving Jade toward the corner
00:24:09and a tag made and here comes Meachin
00:24:11we know Jade Cargill in a very very bad mood as a result of all night of champions
00:24:16Cargill and company look to take out their frustrations on Stratton and her teammates
00:24:23Tiffany looking for the Alabama slam Meachin turns it around pinning combination and a kick out
00:24:34now Meachin has taken over she's picking up a lot of the traits that Jade Cargill has
00:24:39I just want to say the alliance formed between Meachin, BFAB and Jade Cargill has certainly
00:24:44done wonders for the careers of BFAB and Meachin
00:24:47they say the rising tide rays of all ships that's what we're seeing
00:24:50right in front of us covered by BFAB off the double team and a hook of the leg and a
00:24:55kick out
00:24:55by Stratton
00:24:57BFAB has grown leaps and bounds since joining forces with the storm Jade Cargill
00:25:04Stratton will land on her feet backs up into the corner
00:25:07tag was made and the queen Charlotte Flair is now legal
00:25:11Charlotte the 14-time world champion for the cross body
00:25:16Flair with a boot to Cargill
00:25:19now a right hand to Meachin and BFAB into the corner
00:25:25backs up into Charlotte, Charlotte catches it with a kick
00:25:29BFAB right under the chin
00:25:33and Charlotte
00:25:36for a kip up
00:25:41taking off all three opponents
00:25:47a shot stunning BFAB driving her to the corner
00:25:55Irish whip by BFAB
00:26:00Charlotte with a boot to the face
00:26:04Cannonball Sue Meachin
00:26:07you forgot one Charlotte
00:26:09Jade Cargill lying in wake delivers the clothesline
00:26:13get that money
00:26:20and before the commercial break
00:26:22Jade Cargill turned the entire complexion of this match around
00:26:27as he took out Charlotte Flair at ringside
00:26:29and now it's been a three on one beatdown
00:26:33what a way to rebound if you're Jade Cargill
00:26:36after a disappointing night of champions
00:26:37to come in here and pick up a win
00:26:39or at least a dominant showing against Charlotte Flair
00:26:43that'll raise your stock to an all-time eye to Maraguyo
00:26:47all the way slammed by a stern Cargill
00:26:50who is now mocking Charlotte Flair
00:26:55I didn't see the mockery
00:26:56I thought Jade did a fantastic job
00:26:58and Charlotte was out of harm's way
00:27:00Jade Cargill face first off the turnbuckle
00:27:01tag will be made to BFAB
00:27:03Charlotte trying to make it to the corner
00:27:05make a tag to her team
00:27:08I like the urgency being shown by BFAB
00:27:11knowing how important it is
00:27:12to prevent Charlotte from making this tag
00:27:14it could be the tie turn her team wants
00:27:16Charlotte at arm's length away
00:27:18trying to get to Chelsea
00:27:23knee right to the midsection by BFAB
00:27:25hard move for a cheap shot now to strap
00:27:28and that's what the alliance with Jade Cargill
00:27:29is on BFAB and Meech
00:27:31and how to be relentless
00:27:32how to look out for yourself
00:27:34stay to hell with everyone else
00:27:35both women are down opportunity now
00:27:39tag

00:33:51The following contest, scheduled for one call,
00:33:55is for the Triple A Cruiserweight Championship.
00:34:01Introducing first, from Iquatapec, Mexico.
00:34:05He is the Triple A Cruiserweight Champion.
00:34:13This is gonna be a good one, Corey.
00:34:15Fasten your seatbelts and keep your eyes on the skies.
00:34:20The Triple A Cruiserweight Gold is on the line as Phoenix defends against El Ijo Del Viquingo next.
00:34:31Back here on Friday Night SmackDown, a matchup for the Triple A Cruiserweight Championship.
00:34:36El Ijo Del Viquingo, the reigning Triple A Latin American Champion.
00:34:43You're about to catch a glimpse of what Lucha Libre is all about.
00:34:48Phoenix invite Kingo, meeting for the first time here in WWE that they have crossed paths before.
00:34:54In Triple A, both former Triple A Mega Champions.
00:34:57Of course, that title is currently held by Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:35:01What can we expect in this matchup? First, from the challenger by Kingo.
00:35:05The Kingo is willing to do anything and everything to obtain victory.
00:35:08That's been the biggest change in his personality over the past year or so.
00:35:12The Kingo will take shortcuts. The Kingo will break rules.
00:35:15Look at this, right out of the gate. Shoulders down and a kick out at two by Phoenix.
00:35:19But the Kingo, regardless of his attitude, one of the most spectacular athletes in the game.
00:35:26Case in point.
00:35:27And Phoenix driven into the ropes.
00:35:31Ray Phoenix knows what he's getting into in this matchup tonight.
00:35:34How does he keep the Cruiserweight title?
00:35:36Phoenix has to be careful and has to be fully aware that the Kingo will stop at nothing to take
00:35:41his championship.
00:35:45Look at this. Such unique, unorthodox offense from El Ijo Del Viquingo.
00:35:51And Ray Phoenix, since capturing the Cruiserweight Championship back at Noche de los Grandes, promised to be.
00:35:57Oh, that's the thing that Ronaldo stole from Viquingo.
00:36:00Oh, Ronaldo did.
00:36:02That's right.
00:36:02Anyway, Phoenix promised upon becoming Cruiserweight Kingpin that he would be a fighting champion.
00:36:09That he would raise the status and the perception of the Cruiserweight gold.
00:36:14What a cross body.
00:36:15And a kick out.
00:36:17Well, Phoenix did just that last week.
00:36:19What a matchup he had with Nathan Fraser.
00:36:21And Phoenix showing no signs of throwing as we take another look at the unbelievable athleticism of the Triple A
00:36:29World Cruiserweight Champion.
00:36:32Viquingo sends him into the ropes.
00:36:34Phoenix missed with the kick.
00:36:38Off the hand.
00:36:39Catches him.
00:36:40Ace Crusher.
00:36:41Clint.
00:36:42Viquingo.
00:36:43Cover.
00:36:44Almost had him kick at two.
00:36:46Take another look.
00:36:47And in the blink of an eye, Phoenix can turn the tides of any matchup.
00:36:57It's a matter of seconds before Phoenix takes flight.
00:37:01Oh, and Viquingo, great move as he catches Phoenix in the apron.
00:37:06Viquingo is so cagey, so crafty.
00:37:11Oh, now right to the back of the head.
00:37:14And ruthless.
00:37:16That's a great way to describe him.
00:37:21Look at this.
00:37:22And Phoenix take it out.
00:37:25Cruiserweight title from Triple A.
00:37:27Up for grabs.
00:37:33Triple A Cruiserweight Championship is up for grabs.
00:37:38It is the champion Rey Fenix against the challenger Viquingo.
00:37:41Ooh.
00:37:41Nobody home.
00:37:42Kick right to the back of the head.
00:37:45Viquingo in a lot of trouble here.
00:37:47Goodbye, Amigo.
00:37:52Phoenix effortlessly, once again, scaling the ropes.
00:37:58What a frog splash.
00:38:00To the center of the ring.
00:38:02Cover.
00:38:03To retain.
00:38:04And a kick out.
00:38:06Take a look at the height and the distance.
00:38:10Covered by the champion.
00:38:12Full extension.
00:38:13Full impact.
00:38:16Phoenix very nearly ended this one.
00:38:18But Viquingo still has a little too much left in the tank.
00:38:23The champion has his sights set on the son of the Viking.
00:38:26Nobody home.
00:38:27Meteora misses.
00:38:28Big kick by Viquingo.
00:38:32Phoenix collapsing into a heap in the bottom turnbuckle.
00:38:35The challenger looking to push the pace.
00:38:37Into the corner.
00:38:39The Meteora.
00:38:40Vicious.
00:38:41From Viquingo.
00:38:42Could be closing in on the Cruiserweight Championship.
00:38:48Oh, he caught him.
00:38:50Roll through.
00:38:51Cover.
00:38:52And a kick out.
00:38:53Now.
00:38:55So innovative is the challenger.
00:38:58Viquingo got all the kick.
00:39:01Come on, Phoenix.
00:39:06Viquingo may be closing in on the Cruiserweight Championship.
00:39:10Maybe not Ray Phoenix.
00:39:12What a strike.
00:39:20Chops to the ribs.
00:39:22Viquingo recognizing the peril of the situation.
00:39:27My goodness.
00:39:28What on earth does Viquingo have in store here?
00:39:32God.
00:39:32From the ring post.
00:39:34Cover for the championship.
00:39:37Two.
00:39:37And a kick out of two and a half.
00:39:41An unbelievable poison run up.
00:39:45From the ropes.
00:39:47It's almost miraculous Phoenix survived.
00:39:53Indeed it is.
00:39:54For the Triple-A Cruiserweight Championship.
00:39:57The challenger now perched on top of the ring post.
00:40:01Wow.
00:40:03Green board.
00:40:04450.
00:40:04Nobody home.
00:40:05Ray Phoenix moved out of harm's way.
00:40:07Boom.
00:40:07Now the knees in the corner.
00:40:09Phoenix.
00:40:10Hooded Viquingo up.
00:40:12Top ropes.
00:40:13Right to the chest.
00:40:15And now Phoenix looking to put him away.
00:40:18Marching around the ring.
00:40:21Mexican muscle buster.
00:40:23Cover.
00:40:25Phoenix retains.
00:40:28Here is your winner.
00:40:30And still.
00:40:31Triple-A World Cruiserweight Champion.
00:40:32The Triple-A Cruiserweight Champion.
00:40:37The Triple-A Cruiserweight Champion.
00:40:38Ray Phoenix.
00:40:39Kudos to the challenger.
00:40:41Elijo Del Viquingo.
00:40:43Who went for broke.
00:40:44And unfortunately it did not pay off.
00:40:47Phoenix wasting no time capitalizing.
00:40:50Meteora in the turnbuckle.
00:40:51And the Mexican muscle buster.
00:40:55And still.
00:40:56Triple-A World Cruiserweight Champion.
00:41:00Ray Phoenix.
00:41:02And just a reminder.
00:41:04This is the type of action you will find each and every Saturday night.
00:41:08It's Triple-A.
00:41:15Last week on SmackDown our main event Corey Julia versus her former business associate Tiana James.
00:41:21Beautiful madness brought her A-game.
00:41:25Delivering the Northern Lights Bomb to her former business associate.
00:41:30Freeing herself from any sort of past association with Tiana James.
00:41:35Unfortunately for Julia, her celebration would be short-lived.
00:41:40Enter the glamour.
00:41:42Blake Monroe bursting onto the SmackDown scene at Julia's expense.
00:41:47Here's Kathy Kelly.
00:41:49Yeah, thanks so much.
00:41:50I'm standing by with Julia.
00:41:53And Julia, last week you didn't even get the chance to celebrate your win over Tiana James before Blake Monroe
00:41:59attacked you.
00:42:00Do you have a message for Blake?
00:42:02I don't back down from any fight.
00:42:07I put Kiana behind me.
00:42:10If Blake Monroe stops being a coward.
00:42:13I will fight her.
00:42:16Anytime.
00:42:17Anywhere.
00:42:18Anywhere.
00:42:19Anywhere.
00:42:21That's rich.
00:42:22Coming from you, Julia.
00:42:25I mean, it would be just like you to bite the hand that feeds you.
00:42:32Listen, you got lucky.
00:42:35I beat you, Kiana!
00:42:37Oh my god!
00:42:38Kiana!
00:42:41In case you forgot, I'm Blake Monroe, and it's so good to see you again.
00:42:51You know, as fun as that was to watch, let's not forget who's in control here.
00:43:01It's nice to see you too.
00:43:07Blake Monroe again.
00:43:09Well, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, we'll take a look at what transpired this past Monday between Roman Reigns
00:43:15and Seth Wallace.
00:43:22WWE would like to give special thanks to Visit Atlantic City.
00:43:27Atlantic City is the destination for life's greatest celebrations.
00:43:31Take you back this past Monday.
00:43:33I'll show you what happened surrounding the world heavyweight title.
00:43:39Hello, my brother.
00:43:41Brother, you are in possession of a title that belongs to me.
00:43:48And yes, my brother, it is time to collect.
00:43:54You're the back of the line.
00:43:56You hadn't done anything of late to earn a shot at the tribal chief.
00:44:03When it comes to you, I am always at the front of the line.
00:44:09You have done it all.
00:44:11You have won every title there is to win.
00:44:14You have main evented every show there is to main event.
00:44:21But there is one thing in your career that you have not been able to do.
00:44:30Beat me.
00:44:34I own you.
00:44:38I have owned you since the day I put a steel chair in your back.
00:44:51I took your main event and you couldn't do a damn thing about it.
00:44:55One, two, three.
00:45:01I sacrificed myself so Cody Rhodes could end your reign of terror.
00:45:13Triple threat match.
00:45:14I pinned you in the center of this ring.
00:45:17And took your wise man.
00:45:2214 years.
00:45:24You and I have been tied together.
00:45:27What do you want your legacy to be?
00:45:31You're right.
00:45:33I don't want to beat you.
00:45:36I need to beat you.
00:45:39And at SummerSlam, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:45:46Two former teammates.
00:45:49Two bitter rivals.
00:45:51It all culminates at SummerSlam.
00:45:58It is now official at the biggest party of the summer in Minnesota.
00:46:05SummerSlam.
00:46:06The tribal chief, Roman Reigns, defends his world heavyweight championship
00:46:10against the man who never lost that title.
00:46:13Seth freaking Rollins.
00:46:20We're gonna run it, all right?
00:46:22What's up, big Jim?
00:46:24What up, Royce?
00:46:27What's up, bro?
00:46:29You can't tap in with nobody?
00:46:32Let me guess.
00:46:33I guess Roman tells Jacob who his partner is now, huh?
00:46:38Hey, man.
00:46:39Speaking of Roman, we're here because the OTC sent us on a mission to find Solo.
00:46:44Now, can you help us?
00:46:46Do you know where he at?
00:46:47Or do you not know where he at?
00:46:48Because if you don't, we're just gonna handle our family businesses.
00:46:52Family, yes.
00:46:54Blood don't make you family.
00:46:57Loyalty makes you family.
00:47:00I've been your day one for the last 14 years.
00:47:04Right?
00:47:06I've been loyal to you.
00:47:08So guess what?
00:47:10As far as I'm concerned, I'm your family.
00:47:17Not no more.
00:47:19Right, Jacob?
00:47:20Let's go.
00:47:25Let's go.
00:47:42Let's go.
00:47:44Let's go.
00:47:46Go that way.
00:48:16Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the self-proclaimed best man to ever breathe, Lil Yachty, and the United States Champion,
00:48:30Tric Williams.
00:48:36The best man to ever breathe, Michael Cole.
00:48:40You know what a dubious distinction that is.
00:48:42Lil Yachty, my God.
00:48:44Tric Williams, still the United States Champion.
00:48:48After a hell of a battle this past Saturday, a night of champions, the absolute Ricky Sanks.
00:49:14I like that Lil Yachty is out here dressed like Kim Chi.
00:49:18Better get me some of those boots.
00:49:34What?
00:49:48What?
00:49:50What?
00:50:20Oh, this is interesting.
00:50:28I would never recommend interrupting Lil Yachty or Rick Williams.
00:50:36Carmelo Hayes has done just that.
00:50:40The former United States Champion, I guarantee you, Corey, he was watching Trick and Ricky
00:50:46this past Saturday Night of Champions.
00:50:48Carmelo Hayes, the former United States Champion in his own right, his career deeply intertwined
00:50:54with Trick Williams dating all the way back to their tenures in NXT.
00:51:07That's why I like Carmelo.
00:51:08He's never been afraid to ruffle a few feathers or fur in this case.
00:51:14Who's got a problem, huh?
00:51:15Tell him to say, hey, don't miss the world.
00:51:20Carmelo, Carmelo, Carmelo, Carmelo, Carmelo, Carmelo, Carmelo, Carmelo, Carmelo, Carmelo, Carmelo.
00:51:28Ah, ha, ha, yeah.
00:51:29All right, Trick.
00:51:31Let's get serious.
00:51:32Let's get to business.
00:51:35Look, on Saturday, Ricky couldn't get the job done.
00:51:39So now it looks like Atlantic City, we have no other choice but to run it back, you and
00:51:49me, for that United States Championship.
00:51:51If you bout it, bout it.
00:51:57No answer.
00:51:59Okay, you know what?
00:52:00I expected that.
00:52:01But before I go where I gotta go, Trick, you know what?
00:52:04Let me just give you your flowers.
00:52:07Everything that you do, man, it's larger than life.
00:52:10Title looks great on you.
00:52:12The crowd, they love you.
00:52:14You unstoppable.
00:52:16But that's because I haven't decided to stop you yet.
00:52:24I made that championship a championship.
00:52:29You turn that title into an accessory.
00:52:33So if you and Lil Yachty wanna run around here with a title,
00:52:37I get you a discount code on WWE Shop.
00:52:40It's easy.
00:52:44It's easy.
00:52:47Trick, that championship.
00:52:50That's the workhorse championship.
00:52:53That's the match of the night championship.
00:52:56That championship is for guys who are hungry.
00:52:59And it looks like me.
00:53:01You walk around here like you had too much to eat.
00:53:03Let's really talk about it.
00:53:07I'm just getting started.
00:53:09So Trick, I say all that just to say this, man.
00:53:14Prove me wrong.
00:53:16Prove me wrong.
00:53:17Put that title against somebody that knows you better than anybody.
00:53:23Because all this talk about you on track to be one of the greatest U.S.
00:53:27champions of all time, I'm not buying it.
00:53:31Because you might be able to walk the walk and talk the talk when you're in there with
00:53:35them.
00:53:36But the reality is, you got two left feet and a mouth full of marbles once you get in there
00:53:40with him.
00:53:42Ah, Melo, god dang.
00:53:45Who are you talking to?
00:53:48Look, this ain't no Willy Nilly Carlo from NXT, okay?
00:53:52This is Trick Willy, the one and only Trick Willy might I need to add, the United States champion.
00:54:01And since being caught up to the big leagues, he has been nothing short of pure greatness,
00:54:07okay?
00:54:10Now, I understand you would like a match, right?
00:54:15Atlantic City, should we give this young small man a match?
00:54:29Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:54:31Hey wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:54:32Slow down, alright, don't blow a blood vessel.
00:54:34We got you.
00:54:35Alright, you know what?
00:54:36As a matter of fact, next week, you got yourself a match.
00:54:43But it's not for the championship.
00:54:45Relax, alright?
00:54:46Alright?
00:54:47Hey, we gave you that chance, you blew it, you failed.
00:54:50Look, we're not just going to keep giving out title shots, baby.
00:54:53You understand? Titles are earned, not given, all right?
00:54:56But you are lucky because the champ needs to get his reps in.
00:55:00So, with that being said, you got to match next week.
00:55:03But please understand, next week when things get tricky,
00:55:08you will have no more excuses as to why you cannot get the job done.
00:55:18You know what, Melo?
00:55:20It's funny.
00:55:22I guess with all the history that you and me have,
00:55:26I really do know you like the back of my hand.
00:55:34Oh!
00:55:36Mind your business for grown folks talking.
00:55:42What a backhand from Williams.
00:55:49Carmelo can get a chance at revenge next Friday night, Corey.
00:55:55Carmelo can prove that he truly is him.
00:55:59But it is a tall pass in the form.
00:56:02Wait a minute!
00:56:03Carmelo Hayes takes out Trent Williams.
00:56:06Why wait till next week?
00:56:22Bela wants a title.
00:56:25Bela wants tricks, Kyle.
00:56:34Am I bleeding?
00:56:35You can just help Dan Housen, that would be wonderful.
00:56:38Because I don't have any of it, but I don't know who I'm gonna ask.
00:56:40Hey, Zack Ryder, how are you?
00:56:44No, anyway, I saw what happened on Raw with the Judgment Day.
00:56:47Yeah, no need to worry, Dan Housen has it taken care of.
00:56:50He has a match with that guy with the head.
00:56:51He's always following around Dominic Mysterious.
00:56:53JD McDonough?
00:56:55Yeah, maybe that's it, I don't know.
00:56:57I'm gonna wrestle him at Saturday night's main event at Madison Square Garden.
00:57:02Hope you need any backup, I'm your guy.
00:57:04No need, I just got back up on the phone, you saw.
00:57:08Invisible backup?
00:57:09No, he's real, he's from New York.
00:57:11I'm gonna take a train down there, I'm gonna meet him,
00:57:13I'm gonna explain the whole plan to him, it's gonna be great.
00:57:15It does sound great, yeah.
00:57:16Yeah, actually, you know what, since you're here, I have something for you.
00:57:19You can help Dan Housen finish his new experiments.
00:57:22You just have to twist that.
00:57:23No, why do I have to do it?
00:57:24Because you have muscles.
00:57:25That's a good point.
00:57:26Yeah.
00:57:26Okay, just twist this?
00:57:27Yeah, twist it.
00:57:28Okay.
00:57:28Safe.
00:57:31What?
00:57:32What's going on?
00:57:33Oh, what?
00:57:33Hey, what is this?
00:57:34What is this supposed to be happening around?
00:57:36What is it?
00:57:38Ah, the Judgment Day must have sabotaged my experiment.
00:57:40Oh, who am I going to do?
00:57:41Ah, I gotta go, Zack Binder.
00:57:43You're in charge of these two.
00:57:45You're not a buzzer.
00:57:47Oh my god, buzzer.
00:57:48Take care.
00:57:49Let's wipe your hair.
00:57:51Awesome.
00:57:54Somebody save those guys.
00:58:01They're okay.
00:58:05Have some compassion.
00:58:07You don't know me how long, Cole.
00:58:11I'm an absolute advantage.
00:58:15The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:58:19Introducing first, accompanied by Payne, she is one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions,
00:58:30WWE Hall of Famer, Brie Bella.
00:58:35For the first time in a decade, Brie Bella's in a one-on-one match against Lady Reed, next.
00:58:47There we see at main event, Jey Uso preparing for battle.
00:58:51Will it be Jey or will it be Cody Rhodes, who heads to Chicago Monday on Raw to challenge the
00:58:58new WWE.
00:58:59Tag Team Champion, Sami Zayn.
00:59:04One half of the Tag Team Champions, Brie Bella, set for her first one-on-one match in ten years.
00:59:10Here tonight on SmackDown.
00:59:17I get safe in the night.
00:59:19Now we won't let you in.
00:59:22Cause we hold on the light.
00:59:24And I'll blind you at night.
00:59:37And her opponent representing Fatal Influence, Laney Reed.
00:59:45Laney Reed set for one-on-one action here tonight.
00:59:48But let's show you what happened last week on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:59:52It was a homecoming in London for Paige versus J.C. Jane.
00:59:55J.C. Jane representing Fatal Influence.
00:59:57It was a matter of time before Fallon Henley and Laney Reed would get involved.
01:00:02And it would take Paige's attention off of the task at hand, in which J.C. Jane would attempt to
01:00:07capitalize.
01:00:08However, Paige was able to rely on her veteran experience and turn the table back into her own favor.
01:00:16A disappointing night for Fatal Influence.
01:00:19So Laney Reed, less than three years since her debut here at WWE, set to go one-on-one with
01:00:26the Hall of Famer, Brie Bella.
01:00:28What Laney Reed may lack in experience, she overcompensates for in raw physical ability.
01:00:34To your point, this woman is double tough.
01:00:37But Brie Bella certainly has the experience.
01:00:40Oh, wow.
01:00:40My goodness.
01:00:41What a left hand to the chin of Brie Bella.
01:00:44I don't even know how Brie is still standing.
01:00:46That's the type of shot that will make you rethink your career path.
01:00:49But Brie Bella explodes out of the corner.
01:00:52And Brie is ticked off.
01:00:55And look at this.
01:00:56Going to separate the shoulder of Laney Reed.
01:00:58Trying to put this one away early in a kick out by Reed.
01:01:01What a physical battle.
01:01:05Remember, uh, Laney Reed following Henley of Fatal Influence.
01:01:09Couldn't get the job done against Brie and Paige in a tag match a couple of weeks ago.
01:01:14Nice belly to back suplex by Reed.
01:01:22And now Laney Reed tries to drop the elbow as Brie Bella moves out of harm's way.
01:01:27You can't get overconfident when you're dealing with a veteran, let alone a Hall of Famer like Brie Bella.
01:01:33There isn't much in this game.
01:01:34Brie hasn't experienced.
01:01:36She's going to have to rely on that experience to get past the physically gifted Laney Reed.
01:01:43And the great strategy is Brie now has turned her focus on the left arm and shoulder of Laney Reed.
01:01:49I tell you, that left hand really set Brie off into a frenzy.
01:01:55Reed was able to weather the storm.
01:01:58You got J.C. Jane.
01:01:59Fallon Henley on the outside cheerleading.
01:02:04Reed now powering Brie Bella up to the top turnbuckle.
01:02:08Oh!
01:02:09And another fierce left from Reed.
01:02:12My God!
01:02:13I think this woman may have knockout power.
01:02:15Brie Bella hanging in there though.
01:02:17Went out for the tag team champions.
01:02:19Come on, Reed!
01:02:22Come on, Reed!
01:02:23A drop kick.
01:02:28And Paige looking to rally Brie.
01:02:31And here come the yes kicks.
01:02:33I'm sure if Miz had his wits about him in Dan Housen's lab, he would be honored.
01:02:37Has somebody checked on him?
01:02:39And Kit Wilson?
01:02:40Oh!
01:02:42Lady Reed trying to take advantage of the distraction.
01:02:48Brie gonna land on her feet.
01:02:51Down goes Reed.
01:02:55Bella rolled through and now she's looking for the yes lock!
01:02:58The yes lock is in!
01:03:01Will Lady Reed tap out?
01:03:04Oh!
01:03:04Come on, Lady, huh?
01:03:06Ballon Henley trying to get the attention of Brie Bella.
01:03:09As Brie continues to crank in the yes lock.
01:03:13And now Paige!
01:03:15Gonna get involved!
01:03:18Down goes Henley.
01:03:20J.C. Jane misses wildly.
01:03:21Paige drives her into the ring post!
01:03:24Oh!
01:03:25What a right!
01:03:26Meanwhile in the ring, the yes lock still being applied.
01:03:29And now Brie Bella has to let it go.
01:03:30To come to the aid of her partner.
01:03:34Great influence throwing bombs tonight.
01:03:37And Lady Reed with a running knee takes advantage of the numbers.
01:03:42One, two, three.
01:03:43And Reed has pinned one out with a tag team champion.
01:03:47Here is your winner, Lady Reed!
01:03:51Reed!
01:03:56What a win for Lady Reed.
01:03:59Thanks to the assist from Fallon Henley and J.C. Jane.
01:04:07Fatal influence.
01:04:09Big win for Reed tonight.
01:04:20The winner.
01:04:21Who is the winner?
01:04:22R-Truth.
01:04:22Yes!
01:04:23Yes!
01:04:25Once again, the USA has beat England!
01:04:28Happy birthday America!
01:04:30U-S-A!

01:05:26But it's happening on SmackDown.
01:05:28Let's roll.
01:05:30You're gonna lose your mask and your luchador status essay.
01:05:34True.
01:05:35Little Jimmy, buy me those.
01:05:39Why'd you eat the hot dog, man?
01:05:45Coming up next, we'll take a look back at the intense confrontation between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi on Raw
01:05:54this past Monday night.
01:06:03Oba, I wanna make sure I heard you right.
01:06:05You did.
01:06:07You did.
01:06:07So SummerSlam.
01:06:08You're sure?
01:06:09100% sure?
01:06:10Yes, I'm sure.
01:06:11It needs to happen.
01:06:12And I will be the one to put an end to it.
01:06:16Ladies and gentlemen, your 2026 King of the Ring, Oba Femi.
01:06:27Now that destiny has played out, she's not finished with me.
01:06:32A choice has to be made.
01:06:41Congratulations.
01:06:42That's a hell of a feat.
01:06:44King of the Ring.
01:06:45Now my apologies, Oba.
01:06:47I have not watched the show.
01:06:49Everybody knows I don't watch the show.
01:06:51I gotta rely on Mr. Heyman over here.
01:06:55Paul tells me that you're really good at calling me names.
01:06:59Like, when I'm not here, you call Brock Lesnar a coward.
01:07:04I call Brock Lesnar.
01:07:21Get.
01:07:23Hit.
01:07:33Hey!
01:07:35And you said I called you names behind your back.
01:07:39Well, guess what?
01:07:41You're in front of me, and you're still it!
01:07:45Me and you, one-on-one, Oba Femi versus Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.
01:07:53I accept, Oba, but here's what conditions.
01:07:58Hell in a cell.
01:08:02We finished this.
01:08:04No more games.
01:08:08The match is set.
01:08:10The beast, Brock Lesnar.
01:08:13The king, Oba Femi.
01:08:16Locked inside the steel structure known as Hell in a cell at SummerSlam.
01:08:24What's happening?
01:08:25We was in the race.
01:08:26We lapped up.
01:08:27Better feelings going, didn't you?
01:08:30Hey, Cody.
01:08:32Ben.
01:08:33What's up, mate?
01:08:34I didn't get around to it.
01:08:35I apologize.
01:08:36Welcome to SmackDown.
01:08:38Well, Cody, I gotta be honest.
01:08:40One of the main reasons I came to SmackDown was the idea to facing you.
01:08:45But I hoped it was gonna be for the title.
01:08:48So go get it back.
01:08:49It starts tonight.
01:08:51Good luck.
01:08:56Hey, Finn.
01:08:59What's up, Tama?
01:09:01I thought about what you said last week.
01:09:02Oh, yeah?
01:09:04So I went to the elders for guidance.
01:09:06What I should do next.
01:09:08Oh, yeah?

01:09:13Oh, fuck!

01:11:59very interesting that a few weeks back it was jay usso who was passed by roman reigns with becoming king
01:12:07of the ring so that jay could dethrone the then wwe champion cody rhodes now cody still stands in jay's
01:12:15path but without
01:12:16without the gold tonight a lot of history between these two they were once tag team champions together
01:12:24cody and jay
01:12:26second time in their career they'll go one-on-one in a matchup
01:12:38this could boil down which of these two superstars is able to compartmentalize their relationship better you have to let
01:12:45friendship flip to the back of your mind in fact forget about it all together because your friend is the
01:12:51only thing left standing between you and a shot at the undisputed wwe title
01:12:56there's also a ton of pressure tonight on jay usso remember the world champion in roman reigns jay is marching
01:13:02over to the king of the ring tournament winning this thing so you can go on to summer slam to
01:13:06take on the wwe champion so the bloodline can have all the gold well jay lost to obafemi in the
01:13:11king of the ring so another opportunity tonight for jay usso to earn a chance at the wwe title and
01:13:19make roman's wishes come true
01:13:24so cody and jay high stakes matchup in our main event tonight as for cody rhodes how did being pinned
01:13:31by sammy zane in the triple threat affect him mentally heading into this matchup
01:13:35i don't know how badly it affected cody rhodes only that cody has experienced this position before he has been
01:13:41champion and had it taken from him cody understands as well as anybody how to get back on the horse
01:13:47dust yourself off and continue the journey
01:13:49jay usso a former world champion in his own right he knows what's at stake here jay tried to catch

01:14:14cody rhodes to your point
01:14:15know one another so well as former tag team championship partners they've seen just about
01:14:19every play in one another's books the fact is cody or jay for that matter has to be the first
01:14:25to show a new look run a different play throw your opponent off guard
01:14:29jay sent into the corner and jay usso had a great performance against obafemi in a losing cause
01:14:35wait a minute cody slipped off the apron and jay usso gonna make a pay now for the suicide dime

01:15:21and jay usso kicks out at two

01:15:43outside jay

01:15:54announce table his main event jay usso making his way as well
01:15:58and jay usso now runs into a kick by rhodes jay now sent over the announce table into the floor

01:18:04in the triple threat match cody with a kick now to jay gonna head up to the top rope looking
