00:00:16The following contest is a triple threat match
00:00:20for the undisputed WWE Championship.
00:00:25Rhodes the champion, Zayn and Gunther the challengers.
00:00:28The triple threat rules tonight.
00:00:32What an atmosphere in here.
00:00:37Cody to retain.
00:00:39And these two men who watched the closest of friends
00:00:42now fighting it for the biggest prize in the business.
00:00:46Demi wants a package pile driver.
00:00:52This is Gunther's moment.
00:00:57But Sammy's ace would not let Cody's arm fall.
00:01:03Sammy's got a chance.
00:01:08Crossroads.
00:01:09And Cody, is he going to look for one more on Sammy?
00:01:15Oh, my God.
00:01:19A lot of folks said, I would never win the WWE Championship.
00:01:27A miracle in Riyadh.
00:01:29But I stand here tonight in front of my people.
00:01:34Honey, pretty odd.
00:01:35New undisputed.
00:01:41WWE Champion.
00:02:05Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome the new Undisputed.
00:02:12Undisputed, WWE Champion, Sami Zayn.
00:02:24Do not have done the television stream.
00:02:27Somebody's got a job.
00:02:29He's got a job.
00:02:30There we go.
00:02:32Yeah.
00:02:33Ladies and gentlemen, you saw it just moments ago.
00:02:37The miracle that this past Saturday, a night of champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
00:02:43On his 10th try, after a quarter of a century in the business,
00:02:48Sami Zayn wins his first WWE Championship.
00:02:52The culmination of a lifelong dream before our very eyes in Riyadh.
00:03:01A moment that will never be forgotten.
00:03:05Especially for Sami Zayn.
00:03:23Sami Zayn admitted himself.
00:03:26He never thought it would happen.
00:03:30And he finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
00:03:35On the Almighty.
00:04:00And they finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
00:04:03Because that's going to be a part-time achievement.
00:04:07It seems to me like a lot of folks out here tonight came to ride or die with the last
00:04:19real good guy.
00:04:29And I just want to say before I even get started, the overwhelming reaction, the love that
00:04:34I've gotten over the last few days since winning this, it's really touched me from the bottom
00:04:39of my heart.
00:04:40I mean that.
00:04:48But the whole thing is really kind of funny considering for the past six months I've come out here
00:04:54and I've been booed out of the building every single time.
00:05:02And it's funny because the people booing were the same people who three years ago were dying
00:05:08to see Sami Zayn as the WWE champion.
00:05:12But then they decided, oh, this guy's never going to do it.
00:05:16They jumped off the bandwagon.
00:05:18They turned their backs on me.
00:05:20They wanted to boo me.
00:05:22But now I have this.
00:05:23So I could be petty if I wanted to.
00:05:27I could be petty and tell every single one of those people who turned their backs on me
00:05:33to kiss my ass.
00:05:41But I won't.
00:05:43But I won't.
00:05:45And you want to know why?
00:05:48Because I am a good guy.
00:05:54And that is the same reason why I'm holding this.
00:05:58Because I never changed.
00:06:01Everyone told me if you want to win, you have to be a bit more selfish.
00:06:05You need to be a bit more cutthroat.
00:06:07You need to do some things you don't want to do.
00:06:10And I didn't.
00:06:11I won this the way I always said I would win it.
00:06:15I did it my way.
00:06:17I did it the right way.
00:06:24And I could be petty.
00:06:26Trust me.
00:06:27I could be petty.
00:06:28And I could tell every single one of those people that said,
00:06:31Oh, he's not championship material.
00:06:34He'll never win the big one.
00:06:36I could very easily tell each and every single one of them to kiss my ass.
00:06:50But I won't.
00:06:53I won't.
00:06:54Because this is a celebration, people.
00:06:58Huh?
00:06:59Am I right?
00:07:00Am I right?
00:07:05And you know what it is we're celebrating here tonight?
00:07:19You're damn right, Sammy.
00:07:22We are celebrating me.
00:07:25We are celebrating the new WWE Champion.
00:07:30We are celebrating the end of the debate once and for all.
00:07:34I forever go down now as one of the all-time greats.
00:07:40I will forever be known now as Sami Zayn, WrestleMania main eventer,
00:07:49Grand Slam Champion.
00:07:53Until the day I die and beyond, I will forever be known as a WWE Champion.
00:08:03And no amount of booing, no amount of hate, no amount of noise
00:08:08will ever, ever take that away from me.
00:08:16Wrestling has more than one royal family.
00:08:43We'll be starting to watch it.
00:08:43We'll be starting tomorrow as we also�� me.
00:08:47We'll be starting tomorrow.
00:08:48We will be starting your list.
00:09:05Well, the man who was the WWE champion, Cody Rhodes, pinned by Sami Zayn in the triple
00:09:16threat match this past Saturday night. As for Sami Zayn, Corey Graves, not quite the celebratory
00:09:23speech that I was expecting from the champion. Sami Zayn has more than earned the right to
00:09:30air his grievances. He is now the kingpin here on SmackDown. And I gotta be perfectly honest,
00:09:37seeing Cody make the walk to the ring without the gold around his waist feels a little uncomfortable.
00:09:46I hear the crowd on his toes, ready for me to start the show. After cutting lights, go off
00:09:56from home. Whoa!
00:10:00I was on the stand when I was younger. I'm the pretty better man. You took it all away,
00:10:13I gave it all away. You take my people.
00:10:36Whoa! Sammy? Cody?
00:10:42So, um, what do you wanna talk about?
00:10:54It's very simple. You said something I had forgotten. You reminded me of it. When I won
00:11:01that WWE Championship, you were the very first to come into the ring and celebrate with me. So,
00:11:09I didn't wanna wait in line. I wanted to be the first here, as you put it, during this celebration,
00:11:15to tell you, congratulations, champ.
00:11:43Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:11:45What, that's it? Hey, hey, hey! Come back here. Come back here a sec, Cody. Come on,
00:11:54let's not do this, okay? Let's not play this game. For once in your soul, just drop the act for
00:12:00a
00:12:00second, okay? Drop the American nightmare, drop the golden boy, and just be Cody for one second. We
00:12:07both know that's not the only reason you came out here. I have something that you once had. Now,
00:12:16it's mine. It's something I know you want. It's something I know you are addicted to. So,
00:12:25just be honest with me. For once in your life, Cody. No, no, no. Forget the games. Just come right
00:12:30out and save it. Tell me why you're really out here.
00:12:46We found out Monday night exactly why main event Jey Uso is here on SmackDown.
00:12:53He had marked in orders from Roman Reigns during the King of the Ring tournament to win and go on
00:12:59to
00:13:00take the WWE Championship so the bloodline could have all the gold. That didn't happen.
00:13:05Now that Sami Zayn's champion, Jey Uso said he was going to show up here tonight,
00:13:09tell Sami he wanted a shot at the title.
00:13:11Hey, hey. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is your job now.
00:13:17Uh-huh. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Hey, let's get it, Lou.
00:13:23Hey, I'm about to get it, Lou.
00:13:28Cody, what up? Come on, dawg!
00:13:32Come on.
00:13:51I'm not going to run it back
00:13:54because it's about my dog
00:13:55Sammy Zane right now
00:13:57I'm so proud of you
00:14:00man you earned that
00:14:03you deserve that
00:14:08but
00:14:11you know why I'm here
00:14:13but I'm busy
00:14:19Sammy this your warning shot
00:14:23I need to bring that gold
00:14:26back to the family
00:14:29the family

00:15:12when you won the world championship
00:15:14I laid back
00:15:15and Cody despite what you might think
00:15:17I never came for you
00:15:19I never stabbed you in the back

00:20:31a lot
00:20:33it was horrible
00:20:34you got me back
00:20:39all hail the queen
00:21:02the
00:21:03the
00:21:03is a six-woman tag-team match
00:21:07one ball from the Queen City, Charlotte Flair.
00:21:18Well, the 14 time world champion Charlotte Flair teamed up with Tiffany Stratton
00:21:23and Chelsea Green against Jade Cargill and her minions, Maddie Cole, Maddie, next.
00:21:37And their tag team partner, she is the women's United States champion, Tiffany Stratton.
00:21:48Well, Tiffany and Chelsea seem to get along now, but I'm not sure if Charlotte Flair is
00:21:52bought into this Chelsea Green experience.
00:21:55I've said it for a long, long time.
00:21:57Charlotte Flair works best on her own.
00:22:00Can she coexist?
00:22:01Will she be able to get past this challenge?
00:22:04That remains to be seen.
00:22:06Let's see if she didn't see it happening.
00:22:07A storm is coming.
00:22:32And to the opponents, the team of Meat Shade, B-Fan, and Jade Cargill.
00:22:41And to the opponents, the team of Meat Shade, B-Fan, and Jade Cargill.
00:22:43These three have not been kind to Charlotte Flair.
00:22:46Let's take you back to two weeks ago.
00:22:47Charlotte, before her semifinal matchup in the Queen of the Ring with Lynn Morgan.
00:22:52Backstage, Cargill, B-Fan would lay a beat down on the Queen of Charlotte Flair.
00:22:59Yeah, but this past Saturday, Charlotte Flair got a bit of retribution, which cost Jade Cargill
00:23:06an opportunity to knock off Tiffany Stratton to the United States Championship.
00:23:10Six-woman tag team matchup.
00:23:12Charlotte, Tiffany, and Chelsea against B-Fan, Meachin, and Jade Cargill.
00:23:17That team, Jade Cargill and company, actually knocked off the team of Charlotte and Alexa and
00:23:22Rhea Ripley back at Saturday night's main event in May.
00:23:26Oh, sorry, I was thrown off by Chelsea and Tippy trying to do their best to Sophie Cunningham
00:23:30to incite some sort of angst before this matchup.
00:23:33And here we go, the United States champion, Tiffany Stratton, squaring off against the
00:23:37woman she beat at Night of Champions, Jade Cargill in this matchup.
00:23:40Again, ladies and gentlemen, thanks for spending your holiday weekend with us here tonight on
00:23:45Friday Night Smackdown.
00:23:46Tiffany Stratton driving Jade toward the corner.
00:23:49And a tag made, and here comes Meachin.
00:23:51We know Jade Cargill in a very, very bad mood as a result of Night of Champions.
00:23:56Cargill and company look to take out their frustrations on Stratton and her teammates.
00:24:03Tiffany looking for the Alabama slam.
00:24:05Meachin turns him around, pinning combination and a kick out.
00:24:08Go!
00:24:09Come on!
00:24:10Come on!
00:24:14Now Meachin has taken over.
00:24:16She's picking up a lot of the traits that Jade Cargill has.
00:24:18I just want to say, the alliance formed between Meachin, B-Fab, and Jade Cargill has certainly
00:24:23done wonders for the careers of B-Fab and Meachin.
00:24:27They say the rising tide range of all ships.
00:24:29That's what we're seeing right in front of us.
00:24:31Runner by B-Fab.
00:24:32Off the double team, and a hook to the leg, and a kick out by Stratton.
00:24:37B-Fab has grown leaps and bounds since joining forces with the Storm, Jade Cargill.
00:24:43Stratton will land on her feet, backs up into the corner.
00:24:47Tag was made, and the Queen Charlotte Flair is now legal.
00:24:51Charlotte's a 14-time world champion for the cross body.
00:24:56Flair with a boot to Cargill.
00:24:59Now a right hand to Meachin, and B-Fab into the corner.
00:25:04Backs up into Charlotte.
00:25:06Charlotte catches it with a kick.
00:25:08Now B-Fab right under the chin.
00:25:12Boom!
00:25:13And Charlotte.
00:25:16B-Fab into a kip-up.
00:25:18Oh, they're a one-home in the wrecking pool right now, taking out all three opponents.
00:25:26A shot, stunning B-Fab driving her to the corner.
00:25:35Irish whip with a base by B-Fab.
00:25:40Charlotte with a boot to the face.
00:25:43Cannonball, Sue Meachin.
00:25:45Go on!
00:25:46Go on!
00:25:47He forgot one, Charlotte.
00:25:49Jade Cargill, lying in wait, delivers a clothesline.
00:25:52Get that money!
00:26:00And before the commercial break, Jade Cargill turned the entire complexion of this match around.
00:26:06And she took out Charlotte Flair at ringside.
00:26:09And now it's been a three-on-one beatdown.
00:26:13What a way to rebound if you're Jade Cargill after a disappointing night of champions.
00:26:17To come in here and pick up a win, or at least a dominant showing, against Charlotte Flair.
00:26:23That'll raise your stock to an all-time idol.
00:26:26All the way slammed by a star in Cargill, who is now mocking Charlotte Flair.
00:26:34I didn't see the mockery.
00:26:36I thought Jade did a fantastic job.
00:26:37And Charlotte was out of harm's right.
00:26:39Jade Cargill's face first off the turnbuckle.
00:26:42Tag will be made to beat back.
00:26:43Charlotte trying to make it to the corner.
00:26:44Make a tag to her team.
00:26:47Like the urgency being shown by B-Fab.
00:26:50Knowing how important it is to prevent Charlotte from making this tag.
00:26:54It could be the tie turn of her team wants.
00:26:56Charlotte at arm's length away.
00:26:58Trying to get to Chelsea.
00:27:03Knee right to the midsection by B-Fab.
00:27:05Hard move.
00:27:06Cheap shot now.
00:27:07And that's what the alliance with Jade Cargill is on B-Fab and Meech.
00:27:11How to be relentless.
00:27:12How to look out for yourself.
00:27:14Stay to hell with everyone else.
00:27:15Both women are down.
00:27:16Opportunity now.
00:27:19Tag.
00:27:20I don't think Charlotte knows where she is.
00:27:21Now she does.
00:27:23Chelsea and Meech are legal.
00:27:26And Chelsea Green like a house of fire.
00:27:30Japanese arm drags by Chelsea Green.
00:27:40Chelsea face first goes Meech.
00:27:44Salute her, Grace.
00:27:48Now when you know the band and then all of a sudden they blow up.
00:27:51Little Rough Rider action.
00:27:52Cover.
00:27:53B-Fab breaks things up.
00:27:56You were saying.
00:27:58Bang!
00:27:59There's been dropped kick.
00:28:01Now Jade Cargill.
00:28:05Super kick by the Queen.
00:28:07Oh, and Jade Cargill with a big boot.
00:28:11Chelsea Green now.
00:28:12Jets Cargill outside the ring.
00:28:14Down for Meech.
00:28:15Meech.
00:28:16Roll up.
00:28:17And a kick out.
00:28:19Green with a slap.
00:28:27Chelsea now.
00:28:28Oh, Meech.
00:28:29Oh, my God.
00:28:31Off that Hurricane Rana.
00:28:34I don't know how much damage Chelsea did to herself.
00:28:37But Jade with a pump kick.
00:28:38Chelsea looking for the unpretty her.
00:28:41Jade Cargill.
00:28:42The corner.
00:28:43Went for Jade.
00:28:44Chelsea with a great counter.
00:28:47Right hand drops B-Fab.
00:28:49Yeah!
00:28:52Jade.
00:28:53Jade.
00:28:55Off the distraction.
00:28:57Cargill with the win.
00:29:01Here are your winners.
00:29:03The team of B-Fab.
00:29:05Meechie and Jade.
00:29:08Good care.
00:29:11See the disappointment in the eyes of Charlotte Flair.
00:29:16Tiffany Stratton attempting to come to the aid of Chelsea Green.
00:29:21Who had a fantastic counter at once for Jade.
00:29:25Dropped B-Fab.
00:29:28But Jade Cargill stayed the course and plants Ms. Green with Jade in the middle of the ring.
00:29:36That had to feel good for Jade Cargill after what happened at Night of Champions.
00:29:47Ladies and gentlemen, this past Saturday at Night of Champions, Sami Zayn won the WWE Championship, defeating Cody Rhodes and
00:29:54Gunther in a triple threat match.
00:29:56Then there was an altercation between Gunther and SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis.
00:30:02You screwed me over in Europe.
00:30:04You screwed me here.
00:30:05How did I screw you tonight?
00:30:05Shut up.
00:30:06I'm talking to you.
00:30:07What is it with you?
00:30:09Come on.
00:30:09I talked to him.
00:30:10What is it with you?
00:30:11Is it personal?
00:30:12What is it about you?
00:30:13You know what it is?
00:30:14You're jealous.
00:30:15You would love to be in my position.
00:30:17You're f***ing jealous because you have failed to wrestle yourself.
00:30:21Don't touch me.
00:30:21You're failed.
00:30:22Hey, don't touch me.
00:30:23I told you I get to.
00:30:24Don't touch me.
00:30:24You get one.
00:30:25Get the f*** up of me.
00:30:27Get the f*** up of me.
00:30:29Get your f***ing hands up.
00:30:30What are you going to do?
00:30:31Touch me.
00:30:31Come on.
00:30:32Touch me.
00:30:34Don't touch me.
00:30:35Don't touch me.
00:30:36Do it again.
00:30:37No, no, no.
00:30:38Let him come through.
00:30:39Not now.
00:30:39Not now.
00:30:40And we have an official statement from WWE headquarters on the season in place.
00:30:45Dunkler and Nick Aldis were sent home.
00:30:47Aldis has been placed on administrative leave pending further investigation.
00:30:51And as a result, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce will be running SmackDown for the time.
00:30:59The last thing I'm going to do is argue with you.
00:31:02No, Nick.
00:31:02I'm not arguing because I'm here doing the job you couldn't get done.
00:31:05Goodbye, Nick.
00:31:06Adam.
00:31:07Could you please explain what's going on here to me?
00:31:10I mean, I'm the WWE Champion.
00:31:13Yeah.
00:31:13For starters, and I'm a SmackDown superstar.
00:31:16I don't belong on Raw.
00:31:18That's right.
00:31:18What, really?
00:31:19Yes.
00:31:19I think the thing you're missing here, Sammy, is I'm giving you a great opportunity.
00:31:23You can show the world that you can be a great undisputed WWE Champion in a great city,
00:31:28on a great show.
00:31:29Listen, if it makes you feel better, maybe I invite some SmackDown superstars.
00:31:32We make it a great super show.
00:31:33But either way, either way, congratulations.
00:31:37I will see you Monday, and it's gonna be great.
00:31:40It's gonna be great, too.
00:31:41Adam, just hear him.
00:31:42Adam, Adam.
00:31:50Hey, there he is.

00:32:10Look, man, I gotta be honest with you.
00:32:12I don't know if I win this without you.
00:32:14I really don't.
00:32:15I mean, when I was hitting my low points over the last few months,
00:32:18I feel like you were an ear for me when I needed someone.
00:32:21You understood me when I needed someone.
00:32:25You're like my rock, man.
00:32:28This is the proof right here, Johnny.
00:32:30You wanna get ahead, you wanna win championships around here,
00:32:32you gotta stay true to yourself.
00:32:36You know what?

00:47:56Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome the self-proclaimed best man to ever breathe, Lil Yachty, and the United States champion,
00:48:10Tric Williams.
00:48:15The best man to ever breathe, Michael Cole. Do you know what a dubious distinction that is?
00:48:21Lil Yachty, my God. Tric Williams, still the United States champion after a hell of a battle this past Saturday,
00:48:30a night of champions, the absolute Ricky Sanks.
00:48:54Lil Yachty is out here dressed like Kim Chi.
00:48:57Let me get me some of those boots.
00:49:27What?
00:49:30What?
00:49:32What?
00:49:32What?
00:49:34What?
00:50:00Oh, this is interesting.
00:50:09Well, I would never recommend interrupting Lil Yachty or Trick Williams.
00:50:15Carmelo Hayes has done just that.
00:50:20The former United States champion, I guarantee you, Corey, he was watching Trick and Ricky this past Saturday night, a
00:50:28champion.
00:50:29Carmelo Hayes, a former United States champion in his own right, his career deeply intertwined with Trick Williams.
00:50:35Dating all the way back to their tenures in NXT.
00:50:46That's why I like Carmelo. He's never been afraid to ruffle a few feathers.
00:50:52Or fur, if you're.
00:50:54Who got a problem, huh? Tell him to stay here.
00:51:00Carmelo, Carmelo, Carmelo, Carmelo, Carmelo, Carmelo.
00:51:09All right, Trick, let's get serious.
00:51:13Let's get to business.
00:51:15Look, on Saturday, Ricky couldn't get the job done.
00:51:19So now it looks like Atlantic City, we have no other choice but to run it back, you and
00:51:29me, for that United States championship.
00:51:31If you bout it, bout it.
00:51:37No answer.
00:51:39Okay, you know what, I expected that.
00:51:42But before I go where I gotta go, Trick, you know what, let me just give you your flowers.
00:51:47Everything that you do, man, it's larger than life.
00:51:50Title looks great on you.
00:51:52The crowd, they love you.
00:51:54You unstoppable.
00:51:56But that's because I haven't decided to stop you yet.
00:52:04I made that championship a championship.
00:52:09You turn that title into an accessory.
00:52:12So if you and Lil Yachty wanna run around here with a title, I get you a discount code on
00:52:19WWE Shop.
00:52:20It's easy.
00:52:27Trick, that championship, that's the workhorse championship.
00:52:33That's the match of the night championship.
00:52:36That championship is for guys who are hungry.
00:52:40And it looks like me, you walk around here like you had too much to eat.
00:52:43Let's really talk about it.
00:52:47I'm just getting started.
00:52:50So Trick, I say all that just to say this, man.
00:52:54Prove me wrong.
00:52:56Prove me wrong.
00:52:58Put that title against somebody that knows you better than anybody.
00:53:03Because all this talk about you on track to be one of the greatest U.S. champions of all time,
00:53:09I'm not buying it.
00:53:11Because you might be able to walk the walk and talk the talk when you're in there with them.
00:53:16But the reality is, you got two left feet and a mouth full of marbles once you get in there
00:53:20with him.
00:53:22Ah, my little god, dang!
00:53:25Who are you talking to?
00:53:28Look, this ain't no Willy Nilly Carlo from NXT, okay?
00:53:32This is Trick Willy.
00:53:34The one and only Trick Willy might I need to add the United States champion.

00:59:13we'll take over this game
00:59:15and her opponent representing fatal influence
00:59:22lady reed
00:59:24lady reed set for one-on-one action here tonight
00:59:26but let's show you what happened last week
00:59:28on friday night's smackdown
00:59:30it was a homecoming in london for page versus jc jane
00:59:33jc jane representing fatal influence
00:59:36it was a matter of time before fallon henley and lady reed
00:59:39would get involved
00:59:40and it would take page's attention off of the task at hand
00:59:44in which jc jane would attempt to capitalize
00:59:46however page was able to rely on her veteran experience
00:59:50and turn the table back into her own favor
00:59:53a disappointing night for fatal influence
00:59:57so lady reed
00:59:59less than three years since her debut here at wwe
01:00:02set to go one-on-one with a hall of famer
01:00:06brie bella
01:00:07what lady reed may lack in experience
01:00:09she overcompensates for in raw physical ability
01:00:12to your point this woman is double tough
01:00:15but brie bella certainly has the experience
01:00:18oh wow my goodness
01:00:20what a left hand to the chin of brie bella
01:00:22i don't even know how brie is still standing
01:00:24that's the type of shot that'll make you rethink your career path
01:00:27but brie bella explodes out of the corner
01:00:30and brie is ticked off
01:00:33and look at this
01:00:34gonna separate the shoulder of laney reed
01:00:37trying to put this one away early in a kick out by reed
01:00:40what a physical battle
01:00:44remember uh laney reed following henley
01:00:46a fatal influence
01:00:47couldn't get the job done against brie and page
01:00:49in a tag match a couple of weeks ago
01:00:52it's belly to back suplex by reed
01:01:00and now laney reed
01:01:02tries to drop the elbow as brie bella
01:01:04moves out of harm's way
01:01:06you can't get over constant when you're dealing with a veteran
01:01:08let alone a hall of famer like brie bella
01:01:11there isn't much in this game
01:01:13brie has an experience
01:01:15she's gonna have to rely on that experience
01:01:17to get past the physically gifted laney reed
01:01:21and the great strategy is brie now has turned her focus
01:01:24on the left arm and shoulder of laney reed
01:01:28tell you that left hand really
01:01:30set brie off into a frenzy
01:01:33reed was able to weather the storm
01:01:36you got jc james
01:01:37ballon henley on the outside cheerleading
01:01:42reed now powering brie bella up to the top turnbuckle
01:01:47oh and another fierce left from reed
01:01:50my god this woman may have knockout power
01:01:53brie bella hanging in there though
01:01:55went out for the tag team champions
01:02:00bella with a missile drop kick
01:02:07and page looking to rally brie
01:02:09and here come the yes kicks
01:02:11i'm sure if miz had his wits about him
01:02:13in dan housen's lab he would be honored
01:02:15has somebody checked on him
01:02:17and kit wilson
01:02:20oh lady reed trying to take advantage of the distraction
01:02:27brie gonna land on her feet
01:02:29down goes reed
01:02:33bella rolled through and now she's looking for the yes lock
01:02:37the yes lock is in
01:02:40will lady reed tap out
01:02:42come on lady huh
01:02:43ballon henley trying to get the attention of brie bella

01:02:52and now page gonna get involved
01:02:56down goes henry jc jane misses wildly
01:03:00page drives her into the ring post
01:03:03oh what a right
01:03:04meanwhile in the ring the yes lock still being well

01:03:08to come to the aid

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