00:00:37What an atmosphere in here!
00:00:41Cody to retain!
00:00:43And these two men who watch the closest of friends, now fighting it for the biggest prize in the business!
00:00:50Zayn wants a package pile driver!
00:00:56This is Gunther's moment!
00:01:00But Sammy's aim would not let Cody's arm fall!
00:01:07Sammy's got a chance!
00:01:12Crossroads!
00:01:13And Cody!
00:01:14Is he gonna look for one more on Sammy?
00:01:20Oh my God!
00:01:23A lot of folks said, I would never win the WWE Championship!
00:01:31A miracle in Riyadh!
00:01:34But I stand here tonight, in front of my people, on a period!
00:01:39No!
00:01:40I'm disputed!
00:01:42WWE Champion!
00:01:47Fthe Champion!
00:01:47A-M!
00:01:59A mon Hem.
00:02:01A-M!
00:02:10A These are good Mod count!
00:02:12Raad!
00:02:13That A-M!
00:02:14A-M!
00:02:15the un-disputed WWE Champion,
00:02:20Sami Zayn.
00:02:28Do not against the WWE this week.
00:02:37Ladies and gentlemen,
00:02:39you signed just moments ago, the miracle in this past Saturday.
00:02:44The night of champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
00:02:47On his 10th slide, after a quarter of a century in the business,
00:02:52Sami Zayn wins his first WWE Championship.
00:02:57The culmination of a lifelong dream before our very eyes in Riyadh.
00:03:05A moment that will never be forgotten, especially for Sami Zayn.
00:03:27Sami admitted himself. He never thought it would happen.
00:03:35And he finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
00:03:37He never thought it would happen.
00:03:40No, no, no, no.
00:03:44He never thought it would happen.
00:03:45Not only.
00:03:58I didn't believe he never thought that this was a reset.
00:04:00We know he doesn't even think of.
00:04:00We know he either.
00:04:07The final thing, that's because we realized that this was the last part.
00:04:11It seems to me, like a lot of folks out here tonight, came to ride or die with the last
00:04:23real good guy.
00:04:33And I just want to say, before I even get started, the overwhelming reaction, the love that
00:04:38I've gotten over the last few days since winning this, it's really touched me from the bottom
00:04:43of my heart.
00:04:44I mean that.
00:04:52But, the whole thing is really kind of funny considering for the past six months I've come
00:04:58out here and I've been booed out of the building every single time.
00:05:06And it's funny because the people booing were the same people who three years ago were dying
00:05:12to see Sami Zayn as the WWE champion.
00:05:17But then they decided, oh, this guy's never going to do it.
00:05:20They jumped off the bandwagon.
00:05:22They turned their backs on me.
00:05:24They wanted to boo me.
00:05:26But now I have this.
00:05:28So I could be petty if I wanted to.
00:05:31I could be petty and tell every single one of those people who turned their backs on me
00:05:37to kiss my ass.
00:05:45But I won't.
00:05:47But I won't.
00:05:49And you want to know why?
00:05:52Because I am a good guy.
00:05:58And that is the same reason why I'm holding this.
00:06:02Because I never changed.
00:06:05Everyone told me if you want to win, you have to be a bit more selfish.
00:06:09You need to be a bit more cutthroat.
00:06:11You need to do some things you don't want to do.
00:06:14And I didn't.
00:06:15I won this the way I always said I would win it.
00:06:19I did it my way.
00:06:21I did it the right way.
00:06:28And I could be petty.
00:06:31Trust me, I could be petty.
00:06:32And I could tell every single one of those people that said,
00:06:35Oh, he's not championship material.
00:06:38He'll never win the big one.
00:06:40I could very easily tell each and every single one of them to kiss my ass.
00:06:54But I won't.
00:06:57I won't.
00:06:58Because this is a celebration, people.
00:07:02Huh?
00:07:03Am I right?
00:07:05Am I right?
00:07:09And you know what it is we're celebrating here tonight?
00:07:24You're damn right, Sammy.
00:07:26We are celebrating me.
00:07:29We are celebrating the new WWE champion.
00:07:35We are celebrating the end of the debate once and for all.
00:07:38I forever go down now as one of the all-time greats.
00:07:44I will forever be known now as Sami Zayn, WrestleMania main eventer,
00:07:53Grand Slam champion.
00:07:57Until the day I die and beyond, I will forever be known as a WWE champion.
00:08:07And no amount of booing, no amount of hate, no amount of noise
00:08:12will ever, ever take that away from me.
00:08:20Wrestling has more than one royal family.
00:08:24I can't wait.
00:08:25I can't wait.
00:08:38I can't wait.
00:08:42I can't wait.
00:08:42Every fight out of control.
00:08:45Do it all the captain wants to be.
00:08:50The crowd is here, about to flow
00:08:54Waiting for me to start the show
00:08:57Out the top, like the world of holes
00:09:01Whoa!
00:09:09Well, the man who was the WWE champion
00:09:16Cody Rhodes
00:09:18Pinned by Sami Zayn in the triple threat match
00:09:21This past Saturday night
00:09:23And as for Sami Zayn, Corey Graves
00:09:25Not quite the celebratory speech
00:09:28That I was expecting from the champion
00:09:31Listen, Sami Zayn has more than earned the right
00:09:34To air his grievances
00:09:36He is now the kingpin
00:09:37Here on SmackDown
00:09:39And I gotta be perfectly honest
00:09:41Seeing Cody make the walk to the ring
00:09:43Without the gold around his waist
00:09:45Feels a little uncomfortable
00:09:50Hear the crowd on their toes
00:09:54Ready for me to start the show
00:09:57Out the curtain lights go off of home
00:10:01Whoa!
00:10:04My father's dead
00:10:06When I was younger
00:10:09I thought he'd better be
00:10:14Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:10:15You took it all away
00:10:17I gave it all away
00:10:19You take my evil
00:10:40Sammy?
00:10:44Cody?
00:10:45Cody?
00:10:45Cody?
00:10:46Cody?
00:10:47So, um...
00:10:51What do you want to talk about?
00:10:58It's very simple
00:11:00You said something I had forgotten
00:11:02You reminded me of it
00:11:03When I won that WWE Championship
00:11:07You were the very first to come into the ring and celebrate with me.
00:11:12So I didn't want to wait in line.
00:11:14I wanted to be the first here, as you put it, during this celebration to tell you congratulations, champ.
00:11:47Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:11:50What, that's it?
00:11:51Hey, hey, hey.
00:11:53Come back here.
00:11:57Come back here a sec, Cody.
00:11:58Come on.
00:11:59Let's not do this, okay?
00:12:00Let's not play this game.
00:12:02For once in your soul, just drop the axe for a second, okay?
00:12:06Drop the American Nightmare, drop the Golden Boy, and just be Cody for one second.
00:12:11We both know that's not the only reason you came out here.
00:12:15I have something that you once had.
00:12:19Now it's mine.
00:12:22It's something I know you want.
00:12:24It's something I know you are addicted to.
00:12:28So just be honest with me.
00:12:30For once in your life, Cody, no, no, no.
00:12:33Forget the games.
00:12:34Just come right out and say it.
00:12:35Tell me why you're really out here.
00:12:40Uso!
00:12:49We found out Monday night exactly why main event Jey Uso is here on SmackDown.
00:12:57He had Margie and orders from Roman Reigns during the King of the Ring Tournament to win and go on
00:13:03to take the WWE Championship so the bloodline could have all the gold.
00:13:08That didn't happen.
00:13:09Now that Sami Zayn's champion, Jey Uso said he was going to show up here tonight.
00:13:13Tell Sami he wanted a shot at the title.
00:13:16Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:13:19This is going down now, woo.
00:13:21Uh-huh.

00:20:22out
00:20:23there
00:20:31what could possibly
00:20:32go wrong
00:20:36a lot
00:20:37it was horrible
00:20:39you got me back
00:20:43all hail the queen
00:21:06the
00:21:07the
00:21:08It's a six-woman tag team match scheduled for one fall.
00:21:13Introducing credit from the Queen City, Charlotte Flair.
00:21:22Well, the 14-time world champion, Charlotte Flair,
00:21:25teamed up with Tiffany Stratton and Chelsea Green
00:21:28against Jade Cargill and her minions.
00:21:31Maddie Cole, Maddie, next.
00:21:41And their tag team partner, she is the women's United States champion,
00:21:50Tiffany Stratton.
00:21:52Well, Tiffany and Chelsea seem to get along now,
00:21:54but I'm not sure if Charlotte Flair has bought into this Chelsea Green experience.
00:21:59I've said it for a long, long time, Charlotte Flair works best on her own.
00:22:04Can she coexist?
00:22:05Will she be able to get past this challenge?
00:22:08That remains to be seen.
00:22:10Let's see what happens.
00:22:12A storm is coming.
00:22:37And to the opponents, the team of Meat Shade,
00:22:41B-Fab and J-C-C-Fab.
00:22:47These three have not been kind to Charlotte Flair.
00:22:50Let's take you back to two weeks ago.
00:22:52Charlotte, before her semifinal matchup in the Queen of the Ring with Lynn Morgan.
00:22:57Backstage, Cargill, E-C-C-Fab would lay a beat down on the Queen, Charlotte Flair.
00:23:03Yeah, but this past Saturday, Charlotte Flair got a bit of retribution,
00:23:08which had cost Jade Cargill an opportunity to knock off Tiffany Stratton to the United States championship.
00:23:15Six-woman tag team matchup, Charlotte, Tiffany, and Chelsea against B-Fab, Meachin, and Jade Cargill.
00:23:21That team, Jade Cargill and company, actually knocked off the team of Charlotte and Alexa and Rhea Ripley
00:23:27back at Saturday night's main event in May.
00:23:30Sorry, I was thrown off by Chelsea and Tiffy trying to do their best to Sophie Cunningham
00:23:34to incite some sort of angst before this matchup.
00:23:37And here we go, the United States champion, Tiffany Stratton,
00:23:40squaring off against the woman she beat at night of champions, Jade Cargill in this matchup.
00:23:44Again, ladies and gentlemen, thanks for spending your holiday weekend with us here tonight
00:23:48on Friday night's SmackDown. Tiffany Stratton driving Jade toward the corner.
00:23:53And a tag made, and here comes Meachin.
00:23:55We know Jade Cargill in a very, very bad mood as a result of night of champions.
00:24:01Cargill and company look to take out their frustrations on Stratton and her teammates.
00:24:07Tiffany looking for the Alabama slam. Meachin turns it around, pinning combination, and a kick out.
00:24:12Come on, come on.
00:24:18Now Meachin has taken over. She's picking up a lot of the traits that Jade Cargill has.
00:24:22I just want to say, the alliance formed between Meachin, B-Fab, and Jade Cargill
00:24:26has certainly done wonders for the careers of B-Fab and Meachin.
00:24:31They say the rising tide waves have all shifted.
00:24:33That's what we're seeing right in front of us.
00:24:35Covered by B-Fab.
00:24:37Off the double team, and a hook of the leg, and a kick out by Stratton.
00:24:41B-Fab has grown leaps and bounds since joining forces with the Storm, Jade Cargill.
00:24:47Stratton will land on her feet.
00:24:49Backs up into the corner.
00:24:51Tag was made, and the Queen Charlotte Flair is now legal.
00:24:55Charlotte's a 14-time world champion for the cross body.
00:25:00Flair with a boot to Cargill.
00:25:03Now a right hand to Meachin.
00:25:05And B-Fab into the corner.
00:25:08Backs up into Charlotte.
00:25:10Charlotte catches away the kick.
00:25:13B-Fab right under the chin.
00:25:17Oh, and Charlotte will tip up.
00:25:22Oh, a one-woman wrecking pool right now, taking off all three opponents.
00:25:30A chop, stunning B-Fab driving her to the corner.
00:25:39Irish Whip was raised by B-Fab.
00:25:41Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:25:44Charlotte with a boot to the face.
00:25:47Cannonball, Sue Meachin.
00:25:49Come on.
00:25:51He forgot one, Charlotte.
00:25:53Jade Cargill, lying in wait, delivers a clothesline.
00:25:56Get that money.
00:26:04And before the commercial break, Jade Cargill turned the entire complexion of this match around.
00:26:10But she took out Charlotte Flair at ringside.
00:26:13And now it's been a three-on-one beatdown.
00:26:17What a way to rebound if you're Jade Cargill after a disappointing night of champions to come in here and
00:26:22pick up a win or at least a dominant showing against Charlotte Flair.
00:26:27And that'll raise your stock to an all-time idol out of Julio.
00:26:31All the way slammed by a stern Cargill who is now mocking Charlotte Flair.
00:26:39I didn't see the mockery.
00:26:40I thought Jade did a fantastic job.
00:26:42And Charlotte is out of harm's right.
00:26:43Jade Cargill's face first off the turnbuckle.
00:26:46Tag will be made to B-Fab.
00:26:47Charlotte trying to make it to the corner and make a tag to her team.
00:26:51Like the urgency being shown by B-Fab.
00:26:54Knowing how important it is to prevent Charlotte from making this tag.
00:26:58It could be the tie turner her team wants.
00:27:00Charlotte at arm's length away trying to get to Chelsea.
00:27:07D-rate to the midsection by B-Fab.
00:27:09Hard move.
00:27:10The cheap shot now to Stratton.
00:27:11And that's what the alliance with Jade Cargill is on B-Fab and Meech.
00:27:15And how to be relentless.
00:27:16How to look out for yourself.
00:27:18Stay to hell with everyone else.
00:27:19Colton running her down.
00:27:20Opportunity now.
00:27:23Tag.
00:27:24I don't think Charlotte knows where she is.
00:27:25Now she does.
00:27:27Chelsea and Meech are legal.
00:27:30And Chelsea Green like a house of fire.
00:27:35Japanese arm drags by Chelsea Green.
00:27:40Nice step up in to dirt.
00:27:42Pumps Meech into her knee.
00:27:45Chelsea face first goes Meech.
00:27:48Salute her, Gray.
00:27:49Nice.
00:27:52Now when you know the band and then all of a sudden they fall off.
00:27:55Oh, little Rough Rider action.
00:27:56Cover.
00:27:57B-Fab breaks things up.
00:28:00You were saying.
00:28:02Bang.
00:28:03There's been dropped kick.
00:28:04Now Jade Cargill.
00:28:07Now Jade Cargill.
00:28:09Super kick by the Queen.
00:28:11Oh, and Jade Cargill with a big boot.
00:28:15Chelsea Green now.
00:28:17Jets Cargill outside the ring.
00:28:18That's out for Meech.
00:28:19Meech should roll up.
00:28:21And a kick out.
00:28:24Green with a slap.
00:28:31Chelsea now.
00:28:32Oh, Meech should.
00:28:33Oh, my God.
00:28:35Off that Hurricane Rana.
00:28:38I don't know how much damage Chelsea did to herself.
00:28:41But Jade with a puck kick.
00:28:43Chelsea looking for the unpretty her.
00:28:45Jade Cargill on corner.
00:28:48Went for Jade.
00:28:48And Chelsea to the great counter.
00:28:51Right hand drops B-Fab.
00:28:53No!
00:28:56Jade jaded.
00:28:59Off the distraction.
00:29:01Cargill with the win.
00:29:05Here are your winners.
00:29:07The team of B-Fab.
00:29:09B-Tin.
00:29:11And Jade.
00:29:13Good care.
00:29:16See the disappointment in the eyes of Charlotte Flair.
00:29:21Tiffany Stratton attempting to come to the aid.
00:29:23Of Chelsea Green.
00:29:25Who had a fantastic counter at once.
00:29:29For Jaded.
00:29:30Dropped B-Fab.
00:29:32But Jade Cargill stayed the course.
00:29:35And clanced Miss Green.
00:29:37With Jaded in the middle of the ring.
00:29:41That had to feel good for Jade Cargill.
00:29:44After what happened.
00:29:45The night of champions.
00:29:51Well, ladies and gentlemen.
00:29:52This past Saturday at night of champions.
00:29:54Sami Zayn won the WWE championship.
00:29:57Defeating Cody Rhodes and Gunther in a triple threat match.
00:30:00Then there was an altercation between Gunther and SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis.
00:30:07You screwed me over in Europe.
00:30:08You screwed me here.
00:30:09How did I screw you tonight?
00:30:09Shut up and I'm talking to you.
00:30:11What is it with you, huh?
00:30:13Come on, I talked to him.
00:30:14Hey, hey.
00:30:14What is it with you?
00:30:15Don't put your hands on the official.
00:30:16What is it personal?
00:30:17You know what it is?
00:30:18You're jealous.
00:30:19You would love to be in my position.
00:30:21You're jealous because you have failed.
00:30:24Hey, hey, hey.
00:30:24You have failed.
00:30:26Hey, don't touch me.
00:30:27I told you I guess don't touch me.
00:30:28You get what you're going to do, huh?
00:30:29What you're going to do, huh?
00:30:36Don't touch me.
00:30:38Don't touch me.
00:30:41Hold down.
00:30:42Not in Kung Fu.
00:30:43Not now.
00:30:45And we have an official statement from WWE headquarters on this incident.
00:30:49Gunther and Nick Aldis were sent home.
00:30:52Aldis has been placed on administrative leave pending further investigation.
00:30:55And as a result, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce will be running SmackDown for the time period.
00:31:03The last thing I'm going to do is argue with you.
00:31:06No, Nick, I'm not arguing because I'm here doing the job you couldn't get done.
00:31:09Goodbye, Nick.
00:31:10Adam, could you please explain what's going on here to me?
00:31:14I mean, I'm the WWE champion.
00:31:17Yeah.
00:31:17For starters, and I'm a SmackDown superstar.
00:31:21I don't belong on Raw.
00:31:22What?
00:31:23Really?
00:31:23Yes.
00:31:24I think the thing you're missing here, Sammy, is I'm giving you a great opportunity.
00:31:27You can show the world that you can be a great undisputed WWE champion in a great city,
00:31:32on a great show.
00:31:33Listen, if it makes you feel better, maybe I invite some SmackDown superstars.
00:31:36We make it a great super show.
00:31:37But either way, either way, congratulations.
00:31:41I will see you Monday, and it's going to be great.
00:31:44It's going to be great, Sam.
00:31:45Adam, just hear me.
00:31:46Adam, Adam!
00:31:54Hey.
00:31:56There he is.
00:32:04Oh, Johnny.
00:32:08There it is, baby.
00:32:10I did it.
00:32:11I did it.
00:32:12Didn't I tell you, Johnny?
00:32:13I did it.
00:32:13I did it.
00:32:14Look, man, I got to be honest with you.
00:32:16I don't know if I win this without you.
00:32:18I really don't.
00:32:19I mean, when I was hitting my low points over the last few months, I feel like you were an
00:32:24ear for me when I needed someone.
00:32:26You understood me when I needed someone.
00:32:29You're like my rock, man.
00:32:33This is the proof right here, Johnny.
00:32:34You want to get ahead, you want to win championships around here, you got to stay true to yourself.
00:32:40You know what?
00:32:42Candice, I'm actually glad you're here.
00:32:44Really?
00:32:45Yeah, yeah.
00:32:45What?
00:32:45Hey, can you take a photo?
00:32:48Yeah, get a picture of old me and Johnny here, would you?
00:32:52Go portrait.
00:32:54Portrait.
00:32:54Or landscape's fine.
00:32:58Oh, man.
00:32:59Oh, man.
00:33:02Oh, man.

00:33:19Oh, man.
00:33:20Oh, man.
00:33:21Oh, man.
00:33:35The following contest scheduled for one call is for the AAA Cruiserweight Championship.
00:33:45Introducing first from E-Catapec, Mexico, he is the AAA Cruiserweight Champion, Ray
00:33:56Phoenix.
00:33:57It's gonna be a good one, Corey, fasten your seatbelts and keep your eyes on the skies.
00:34:04The AAA Cruiserweight Gold is on the line as Phoenix defends against El Ijo Del Viquingo next.
00:34:15Back here on Friday Night SmackDown, a matchup for the AAA Cruiserweight Championship.
00:34:20El Ijo Del Viquingo, the reigning AAA Latin American Champion.
00:34:26You're about to catch a glimpse of what Lucha Libre is all about.
00:34:32Phoenix invite Kingo, meeting for the first time here at WWE that they have come past before in AAA.
00:34:39Most former AAA Mega Champions.
00:34:41Of course, that title currently held by Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:34:44What can we expect in this matchup, first from the challenger by Kingo?
00:34:48The Kingo is willing to do anything and everything to obtain victory.
00:34:52That's been the biggest change in his personality over the past year or so.
00:34:55The Kingo will take shortcuts.
00:34:57The Kingo will break rules.
00:34:59Look at this, right out of the gate.
00:35:00Shoulders down and a kick out at two by Phoenix.
00:35:03But the Kingo, regardless of his attitude, one of the most spectacular athletes in the game.
00:35:09Case in point.
00:35:10And Phoenix driven into the ropes.
00:35:13Come on.
00:35:14Ray Phoenix knows what he's getting into in this matchup tonight.
00:35:18How does he keep the Cruiserweight title?
00:35:19Phoenix has to be careful and has to be fully aware that Viquingo will stop at nothing to take his
00:35:25championship.
00:35:28Look at this.
00:35:30Such unique, unorthodox offense from El Ijo Del Viquingo.
00:35:34And Ray Phoenix, since capturing the Cruiserweight Championship back at Noche de los Grandes, promised to be...
00:35:40Oh!
00:35:41That's the thing that Ronaldo stole from Viquingo.
00:35:44Oh, Ronaldo did.
00:35:45That's right.
00:35:46Anyway, Phoenix promised upon becoming Cruiserweight Kingpin that he would be a fighting champion.
00:35:52That he would raise the status and the perception of the Cruiserweight gold.
00:35:57Wow!
00:35:57What a cross body.
00:35:59And a kick out.
00:36:00Well, Phoenix did just that last week.
00:36:02What a matchup he had with Nathan Fraser.
00:36:04And Phoenix showing no signs of throwing as we take another look at the unbelievable athleticism of the Triple-A
00:36:12World Cruiserweight Champion.
00:36:15Viquingo sends him into the ropes.
00:36:18Phoenix missed with a kick.
00:36:21Off the handspring.
00:36:22This time he catches it.
00:36:23Age Crusher.
00:36:24Glanced.
00:36:25Viquingo.
00:36:26Cover.
00:36:27Almost had him kick at two.
00:36:29Take another look.
00:36:30And in the blink of an eye, Phoenix can turn the tides of any matchup.
00:36:39And it's a matter of seconds before Phoenix takes flight.
00:36:44Oh!
00:36:44And Viquingo!
00:36:46Great move as he catches Phoenix in the apron.
00:36:50Viquingo is so cagey.
00:36:52So crafty.
00:36:54Oh!
00:36:55Now right to the back of the head.
00:36:57And ruthless.
00:37:00That's a great way to describe him.
00:37:04Look at this!
00:37:05And Phoenix taken out!
00:37:08Cruiserweight title from Triple-A.
00:37:10Up for grabs.
00:37:17Triple-A Cruiserweight Championship is up for grabs.
00:37:21It is the champion, Ray Phoenix, against the challenger, Ikingo.
00:37:24Oh!
00:37:25Nobody home.
00:37:25Kick right to the back of the head.
00:37:29Ikingo in a lot of trouble here.
00:37:31Good fly, Amigo!
00:37:33Good fly, Amigo!
00:37:35Phoenix effortlessly, once again, scaling the ropes.
00:37:41What a frog splash!
00:37:44To the center of the ring!
00:37:45Cover!
00:37:46To retain!
00:37:47And a kick out!
00:37:49Take a look at the height and the distance.
00:37:53Covered by the champion.
00:37:55Full extension.
00:37:57Full impact.
00:37:59Phoenix very nearly ended this one, but Viquingo still has a little too much left in the tank.
00:38:06The champion has his sights set on the son of the Viking.
00:38:09Nobody home.
00:38:10Meteora misses.
00:38:11Big kick by Viquingo.
00:38:16Phoenix collapsing into a heap in the bottom turnbuckle.
00:38:19The challenger looking to push the pace.
00:38:21Into the corner!
00:38:22Meteora!
00:38:23Vicious!
00:38:24From Viquingo!
00:38:25Could be closing in on the Cruiserweight Championship.
00:38:32Oh!
00:38:33He caught him!
00:38:33Roll through!
00:38:35Hover!
00:38:36And a kick out!
00:38:39So innovative is the challenger.
00:38:41Viquingo!
00:38:42Got all the kick!
00:38:44Come on for this!
00:38:49Viquingo may be closing in on the Cruiserweight Championship.
00:38:54Viquingo may be closing in on the Cruiserweight Championship.
00:38:54Maybe not Ray Phoenix.
00:38:55What a strike!
00:39:04Chops to the ribs.
00:39:06Viquingo recognizing the peril of the situation.
00:39:10Oh my goodness.
00:39:12What on earth does Viquingo have in store here?
00:39:15Oh God!
00:39:16From the ring post!
00:39:18Cover for the championship!
00:39:21And a kick out of two and a half!
00:39:23An unbelievable poison run up!
00:39:29From the ropes!
00:39:31It's almost miraculous Phoenix survived!
00:39:33Viquingo!
00:39:35Viquingo!
00:39:37Viquingo!
00:39:38Viquingo!
00:39:40Viquingo!
00:39:41Viquingo!
00:39:42Viquingo!
00:39:46Viquingo!
00:39:48Viquingo!
00:39:49Viquingo!
00:39:53Viquingo!
00:39:55Viquingo!
00:40:05Viquingo!
00:40:17Viquingo!

00:48:00Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome the self-proclaimed best man to ever breathe, Lil Yachty, and the United States champion,
00:48:14Rick Williams.
00:48:20The best man to ever breathe, Michael Cole. Do you know what a dubious distinction that is?
00:48:25Lil Yachty, my God. Rick Williams, still the United States champion after a hell of a battle this past Saturday,
00:48:34a night of champions, the absolute Ricky Saitz.
00:48:54I feel like the Lil Yachty is out here dressed like Kim Chi.
00:49:01Hey, better get me some of those boots.
00:49:09Woo-hoo!
00:49:32What?
00:49:35What?
00:49:36What?
00:49:36What?
00:49:37What?
00:50:04Oh, this is interesting.
00:50:13Oh, I would never recommend interrupting Lil Yachty or Trick Williams.
00:50:20Carmelo Hayes has done just that.
00:50:24The former United States champion, I guarantee you, Corey, he was watching Trick and Ricky this past Saturday night, a
00:50:32champion.
00:50:33Carmelo Hayes, a former United States champion in his own right, his career deeply intertwined.
00:50:38With Trick Williams dating all the way back to their tenures in NXT.
00:50:50That's why I like Carmelo.
00:50:52He's never been afraid to ruffle a few feathers.
00:50:54I'm at the top, give respect while I get there.
00:50:57We're furry this year.
00:50:59Tell him to stab your head.
00:51:02Yeah!
00:51:04Yeah!
00:51:05Yeah!
00:51:07Yeah!
00:51:07Yeah!
00:51:08Yeah!
00:51:12Yeah!
00:51:16Yeah!
00:51:17Andro.
00:51:17Who had to get to business?
00:51:19Look on Saturday.
00:51:21Ricky couldn't get the job done, so now it looks like Atlantic City, we have no other choice but to
00:51:31run it back you and me for that United States championship.
00:51:35if you bout it, bout it.
00:51:42No answer.
00:51:43Okay, you know what?
00:51:44I expected that.
00:51:46But before I go where I got to go, Chick,
00:51:48you know what?
00:51:48Let me just give you your flowers.
00:51:51Everything that you do, man,
00:51:52it's larger than life.
00:51:54Title looks great on you.
00:51:56The crowd, they love you.
00:51:58You're unstoppable.
00:52:00But that's because
00:52:02I haven't decided to stop you yet.
00:52:09I made that championship
00:52:10a championship.
00:52:13You turn that title
00:52:14into an accessory.
00:52:17So if you and Lil Yachty
00:52:18want to run around here with a title,
00:52:21I get you a discount code
00:52:23on WWE Shop.
00:52:24It's easy.
00:52:29It's easy.
00:52:31Chick, that,
00:52:33that championship,
00:52:34that's the workhorse championship.
00:52:37That's the match of the night
00:52:39championship.
00:52:41That championship
00:52:42is for guys
00:52:43who are hungry.
00:52:44And it looks like me.
00:52:45You walk around here
00:52:46like you had too much to eat.
00:52:48Let's really talk about it.
00:52:51I'm just getting started.
00:52:54So, Chick,
00:52:55I say all that
00:52:56just to say this, man.
00:52:58Prove me wrong.
00:53:00Prove me wrong.
00:53:02Put that title
00:53:03against somebody
00:53:04that knows you
00:53:05better than anybody.
00:53:07Because all this talk
00:53:09about you on track
00:53:10to be one of the greatest
00:53:11U.S. champions
00:53:12of all time,
00:53:13I'm not buying it.
00:53:15Because you might be able
00:53:16to walk the walk
00:53:18and talk the talk
00:53:18when you're in there
00:53:19with them.
00:53:20But the reality is
00:53:21you got two left feet
00:53:23in the mouth
00:53:23on the marbles
00:53:24once you get in there
00:53:24with him.
00:53:26Ah, my lord.
00:53:27God dang.
00:53:28Who are you talking to?
00:53:31Look,
00:53:32this
00:53:33ain't no
00:53:34Willy Nilly
00:53:35Carlo from NXT, okay?
00:53:37This is Trick Willy.
00:53:38The one
00:53:39and only Trick Willy
00:53:40might I need
00:53:41to add
00:53:42the United States
00:53:43champion.
00:53:45And since being
00:53:46called up to the big leagues,
00:53:47he has been nothing
00:53:48short
00:53:49of pure greatness,
00:53:51okay?
00:53:53Now,
00:53:55I understand
00:53:56you would like a match,
00:53:58right?
00:53:59Atlantic City,
00:54:00should we give
00:54:01this young small man
00:54:02a match?
00:54:13Oh,
00:54:14oh,
00:54:14oh,
00:54:15oh,
00:54:16slow down,
00:54:17all right?
00:54:17Don't blow a blood vessel.
00:54:19We got you.
00:54:20All right,
00:54:20you know what?
00:54:20Matter of fact,
00:54:21next week,
00:54:22you got yourself a match.
00:54:28But it's not
00:54:28for the championship.
00:54:30Relax,
00:54:30all right?
00:54:32Hey,
00:54:32we gave you that chance.
00:54:33You blew it.
00:54:34You failed.
00:54:34Look,
00:54:35we not just gonna keep
00:54:35giving out title shots,
00:54:37baby.
00:54:37You understand?
00:54:38Titles are earned,
00:54:39not given,
00:54:40all right?
00:54:40But you are lucky
00:54:42because the champ
00:54:42needs to get his reps in.
00:54:44So,
00:54:45with that being said,
00:54:46you got a match next week.
00:54:48But,
00:54:48please understand,
00:54:50next week,
00:54:51when things get tricky,
00:54:53you will have no more excuses
00:54:54as to why you cannot
00:54:56get the job done.
00:55:02You know what,
00:55:03Melo?
00:55:04It's funny.
00:55:06I guess with all the history
00:55:08that you and me have,
00:55:10I really do know
00:55:11you like the back
00:55:12of my hand.
00:55:18Oh!
00:55:26What a backhand
00:55:28from Williams.
00:55:33Carmelo can get a chance
00:55:35at revenge
00:55:36next Friday night,
00:55:37Corey.
00:55:40Carmelo can prove
00:55:41that he truly is him.
00:55:43but it is a tall pass
00:55:45in the form.
00:55:46Wait a minute!
00:55:47Oh!
00:55:47Carmelo Hayes
00:55:48takes out
00:55:49Tripp Williams.
00:55:50Why wait
00:55:51till next week?
00:56:06Melo wants a title.
00:56:09Melo wants
00:56:10Tripp's title.
00:56:11Respect while I can't
00:56:12fix it.
00:56:13Who better call him
00:56:14tell him to step
00:56:15head down.
00:56:18Hey, my pleaser.
00:56:19You can just smoke
00:56:20Danhausen.
00:56:21That would be wonderful.
00:56:22Because I don't have any of it.
00:56:23I don't know who I'm going to ask.
00:56:24Stop!
00:56:25Danhausen!
00:56:26Hey, Zach Briner!
00:56:27How are you?
00:56:28You know.
00:56:29Anyway,
00:56:29I saw what happened on Raw
00:56:31with the judging day.
00:56:32Oh, yeah.
00:56:32No need to worry.
00:56:33Danhausen hasn't taken care of.
00:56:34He has a match
00:56:35with that guy with the head.
00:56:36He's always following around
00:56:36Dominic Mysterious.
00:56:37J.D. McDonough?
00:56:39Yeah, maybe that's it.
00:56:40I don't know.
00:56:41Anyway, I'm going to wrestle him
00:56:42at Saturday night's main event
00:56:44at Madison Square Garden.
00:56:46Hope you need any backup
00:56:47on your guy.
00:56:48No need.
00:56:48I just got back up
00:56:49on the phone.
00:56:50You saw.
00:56:52Invisible backup?
00:56:53No, he's real.
00:56:54He's from New York.
00:56:55I'm going to take a train
00:56:56down there.
00:56:56I'm going to meet him.
00:56:57I'm going to explain
00:56:57the whole plan to him.
00:56:59It's going to be great.
00:56:59It does sound great.
00:57:00Yeah.
00:57:00Yeah.
00:57:01Actually, you know what?
00:57:01Since you're here,
00:57:02I have something for you.
00:57:03You can help Dan Housen
00:57:04finish his new experiments.
00:57:06You just have to twist that.
00:57:07No.
00:57:08Why do I have to do it?
00:57:09Because you have muscles.
00:57:10That's a good point.
00:57:11Okay, just twist this?
00:57:11Yeah, twist it.
00:57:12Okay.
00:57:12See?
00:57:16What?
00:57:16What's going on?
00:57:17Oh, what?
00:57:17Hey, wow!
00:57:18What is this?
00:57:19Wow!
00:57:19This isn't supposed
00:57:20to be happening around.
00:57:21Ah, closet!
00:57:22Ah, the Judgment Day
00:57:23must have sabotaged
00:57:24my experiment.
00:57:25Oh, who am I talking to you?
00:57:25Ah, I got to go,
00:57:27Zack Ryder.
00:57:28You're not in charge of me, sir.
00:57:30You're not in charge.
00:57:31Oh, my God, take care.
00:57:33Spud your hair.
00:57:35Awesome!
00:57:39Somebody save those guys.
00:57:45They're okay.
00:57:50How's the compassion?
00:57:52You know me how long, Paul.
00:57:55And have to get that emotion.
00:57:59The following podcast is
00:58:02digital for one of all.
00:58:04Introducing first,
00:58:05accompanied by Paige,
00:58:08she is one half
00:58:10of the Women's Tag Team Champions,
00:58:14WWE Hall of Famer,
00:58:17Brie Bella!
00:58:19For the first time
00:58:21in a decade,
00:58:22Brie Bella's in a one-on-one match
00:58:24against Lady Ribe next.
00:58:29There we see
00:58:30main event,
00:58:32Jey Uso preparing for battle.
00:58:34Will it be Jey,
00:58:35or will it be Cody Rhodes,
00:58:36who heads to Chicago
00:58:38Monday on Raw
00:58:39to challenge the new
00:58:40WWE Champion,
00:58:42Sami Zayn?
00:58:46Went out for the Tag Team Champions,
00:58:48Brie Bella,
00:58:49set for her first
00:58:50one-on-one match
00:58:51in 10 years
00:58:52here tonight
00:58:53on SmackDown.
00:58:59I get deep in the night
00:59:01Now we won't let you in
00:59:04Cause we hold all the light
00:59:06And I'll blind you in
00:59:19And her opponent
00:59:22representing
00:59:23Fatal Inglow
00:59:26Lainey Reed!
00:59:28Lainey Reed set for
00:59:29one-on-one action here tonight,
00:59:30but let's show you what happened
00:59:31last week
00:59:32on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:59:34It was a homecoming in London
00:59:35for Paige versus
00:59:36J.C. Jane.
00:59:37J.C. Jane representing
00:59:39Fatal Influence.
00:59:40It was a matter of time
00:59:41before Fallon Henley
00:59:42and Lainey Reed
00:59:43would get involved
00:59:44and it would take Paige's
00:59:46attention off of the task
00:59:48at hand
00:59:48in which J.C. Jane
00:59:49would attempt to capitalize.
00:59:51However, Paige was able
00:59:52to rely on her veteran
00:59:53experience
00:59:54and turn the table
00:59:56back into her own favor.
00:59:58A disappointing night
00:59:59for Fatal Influence.
01:00:02So Lainey Reed,
01:00:03less than three years
01:00:05since her debut
01:00:06here at WWE,
01:00:07set to go
01:00:08one-on-one
01:00:09with the Hall of Famer,
01:00:10Brie Bella.
01:00:11What Lainey Reed
01:00:12may lack in experience,
01:00:13she overcompensates
01:00:15for in raw physical ability.
01:00:17To your point,
01:00:17this woman is double tough.
01:00:20But Brie Bella
01:00:21certainly has the experience.
01:00:22Oh, wow!
01:00:23My goodness!
01:00:24What a left hand
01:00:25to the chin
01:00:25of Brie Bella.
01:00:27I don't even know
01:00:27how Brie is still standing.
01:00:29That's the type of shot
01:00:29that'll make you rethink
01:00:30your career path,
01:00:31but Brie Bella
01:00:32explodes out of the corner.
01:00:34And Brie is ticked off.
01:00:37And look at this!
01:00:39Gonna separate
01:00:39the shoulder
01:00:40of Lainey Reed.
01:00:41Trying to put this one away
01:00:42early in a kick out
01:00:43by Reed.
01:00:44What a physical battle!
01:00:48Remember,
01:00:49Lainey Reed,
01:00:50Bollin-Henley
01:00:50of fatal influence,
01:00:51couldn't get the job done
01:00:52against Brie and Paige
01:00:53in a tag match
01:00:54a couple of weeks ago.
01:00:56That's belly-to-back
01:00:57suplex by Reed.
01:01:04And now Lainey Reed
01:01:06tries to drop the elbow
01:01:08as Brie Bella
01:01:08moves out of harm's way.
01:01:10You can't get overcompensate
01:01:11when you're dealing
01:01:12with a veteran,
01:01:12let alone a Hall of Famer
01:01:14like Brie Bella.
01:01:15There isn't much
01:01:16in this game.
01:01:17Brie hasn't experienced.
01:01:19She's gonna have to rely
01:01:20on that experience
01:01:21to get past
01:01:23the physically gifted
01:01:25Lainey Reed.
01:01:26And the great strategy
01:01:27is Brie now
01:01:27has turned her focus
01:01:28on the left arm
01:01:29and shoulder
01:01:30of Lainey Reed.
01:01:32Tell you,
01:01:33that left hand
01:01:33really sent Brie off
01:01:35into a frenzy.
01:01:37Reed is able
01:01:38to weather the storm.
01:01:40We got J.C. Gaines.
01:01:42Ballin-Henley
01:01:42on the outside
01:01:43cheerleading.
01:01:46Reed now powering
01:01:48Brie Bella
01:01:48up to the top
01:01:49turnbuckle.
01:01:50Oh!
01:01:51And another
01:01:52fierce left
01:01:53from Reed.
01:01:54My God!
01:01:55I think this woman
01:01:56may have knockout power.
01:01:58Brie Bella
01:01:58hanging in there though.
01:02:00Went out
01:02:00for the tag team champions.
01:02:01Come on, Brie!
01:02:02Come on, Brie!
01:02:04Bella with a
01:02:05missile dropkick.
01:02:11And Paige
01:02:12looking to rally
01:02:12Brie.
01:02:13And here come
01:02:14the yes kicks.
01:02:15I'm sure if Miz
01:02:16had his wits about him
01:02:17in Dan Housen's lab
01:02:18he would be honored.
01:02:19Has somebody
01:02:20checked on him?
01:02:21And Kit Wilson?
01:02:23Oh!
01:02:25Lady Reed
01:02:25trying to take
01:02:26advantage of the
01:02:27distraction.
01:02:31We're going to land
01:02:32on her feet.
01:02:33Down goes Reed.
01:02:37Bella rolled through
01:02:38and now she's looking
01:02:39for the yes lock.
01:02:41The yes lock
01:02:42is in.

01:05:00You think we should...
01:05:01Look, guys.
01:05:02Aldous isn't here this week.
01:05:03So I don't know when.
01:05:05Titles for title,
01:05:07you're on.
01:05:08But it's happening
01:05:09on SmackDown.
01:05:11Let's go.
01:05:12You're gonna lose your mask
01:05:14and your luchador status,
01:05:16they'll say?
01:05:18Little Jimmy,
01:05:19buy me those.
01:05:22Why'd you eat
01:05:22the hot dog, man?
01:05:28Coming up next,
01:05:29we'll take a look back
01:05:30at the intense confrontation
01:05:32between Brock Lesnar
01:05:34and Oba Femi
01:05:36on Raw
01:05:37this past Monday night.
01:05:46Oba,
01:05:46I want to make sure
01:05:47I heard you right.
01:05:48You did.
01:05:49So SummerSlam,
01:05:51you're sure?
01:05:51100% sure?
01:05:52Yes, I'm sure.
01:05:53It needs to happen
01:05:55and I will be the one
01:05:56to put an end to it.
01:05:59Ladies and gentlemen,
01:06:01your 2026 king
01:06:04of the ring
01:06:07Oba Femi.
01:06:10Now that destiny
01:06:11has played out,
01:06:12she's not finished with me.
01:06:15A choice
01:06:16has to be made.
01:06:23Congratulations.
01:06:25That's a hell of a feat.
01:06:26King of the ring.
01:06:28Now my apologies, Oba.
01:06:29I have not watched the show.
01:06:32Everybody knows
01:06:33I don't watch the show.
01:06:34I gotta rely on
01:06:35Mr. Heyman over here.
01:06:37Paul tells me
01:06:38that you're really good

01:06:41Like,
01:06:42when I'm not here,
01:06:44you call Brock Lesnar
01:06:45a coward.
01:06:46When I'm not here,
01:06:48you call Brock Lesnar a...
01:06:52You've got a pretty
01:06:53big decision to make.
01:06:55Maybe I can help you

01:07:53The Beast

01:07:56The King
01:07:57Oba Femi

01:08:05SummerSlam.
01:08:06What's happening?
01:08:08We was in the race.
01:08:09We laughed up.
01:08:09Better feelings go.
01:08:10We did
01:08:10you.
01:08:13Hey, Cody.
01:08:15Ben.
01:08:16What's up, mate?
01:08:16I didn't get around to it.
01:08:17I apologize.
01:08:19Welcome to SmackDown.
01:08:21Well, Cody,
01:08:21I gotta be honest.
01:08:23One of the main reasons
01:08:24I came to SmackDown
01:08:25was the idea
01:08:26to face a new
01:08:27but I hoped
01:08:28it was gonna be
01:08:29for the title.
01:08:31So go get it back.
01:08:32It starts tonight.
01:08:33Good luck.
01:08:39Hey, Ben.
01:08:42What's up, Toma?
01:08:43I thought about
01:08:44what you said last week.
01:08:45Oh, yeah?
01:08:46So I went to the elders
01:08:47for guidance
01:08:48on what I should do next.
01:08:51Oh, yeah?
01:08:52What's that got to do
01:08:52with me?
01:08:55Oh, fuck.
01:08:59Oh, Ben.
01:09:03I'm closing the books
01:09:05on everything
01:09:06from my past.
01:09:08And you're
01:09:09next.
01:09:30Oh, yeah.
01:09:33Oh, yeah.
01:09:34Oh, yeah.
01:09:34Oh, yeah.
01:09:36Oh, yeah.
01:09:36Oh, yeah.
01:09:37Oh, yeah.
01:09:37Oh, yeah.
01:09:37Oh, yeah.
01:09:38Oh, yeah.
01:09:39Oh, yeah.
01:09:39Oh, yeah.
01:09:40Oh, yeah.
01:09:54it is time for our main event who will head to chicago to challenge sammy zane this monday on
01:10:02raw will it be main event jay usso or the american nightmare cody rhodes
01:10:13we are set for our main event here tonight on friday night smackdown jay usso cody rhodes
01:10:19the winner to face sammy zane for the wwe championship monday night on raw from chicago
01:10:33wrestling has more than one royal family
01:10:40so
01:11:41It's very interesting that a few weeks back, it was Jey Uso who was passed by Roman Reigns with becoming
01:11:48King of the Ring so that Jey could dethrone the then WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes.
01:11:54Now Cody still stands in Jey's path, but without the gold tonight.
01:11:59A lot of history between these two.
01:12:02They were once tag team champions together.
01:12:06Cody and Jey, the second time in their career, they'll go one-on-one in a matchup.
01:12:19This could boil down to which of these two superstars is able to compartmentalize their relationship better.
01:12:26You have to let friendship slip to the back of your mind.
01:12:30In fact, forget about it altogether.
01:12:31Because your friend is the only thing left standing between you and a shot at the undefeated WWE title.
01:12:38There's also a ton of pressure tonight on Jey Uso.
01:12:41Remember the world champion in Roman Reigns, Jey is marking the order to the King of the Ring tournament.
01:12:46Winning his things, he could go on to SummerSlam to take on the WWE Champion so the bloodline can have
01:12:51all the gold.
01:12:51Well, Jey lost to Obafemi in the King of the Ring.
01:12:54So another opportunity tonight for Jey Uso to earn a chance at the WWE title and make Roman's wishes come
01:13:02true.
01:13:06So Cody and Jey, high-stakes matchup in our main event tonight.
01:13:10As for Cody Rhodes, how did being pinned by Sami Zayn in the triple threat affect him mentally heading into
01:13:16this matchup?
01:13:17I don't know how badly it affected Cody Rhodes, only that Cody has experienced this position before.
01:13:22He has been champion and had it taken from him.
01:13:25Cody understands as well as anybody how to get back on the horse, dust yourself off, and continue the journey.
01:13:32Jey Uso, a former world champion in his own right.
01:13:35He knows what's at stake here.
01:13:36Jey tried to catch Cody.
01:13:37Cody looking for an early crossroads.
01:13:40Snap there, takedown by Jey and a stare-off.
01:13:49Cody, how do you put Jey away tonight?
01:13:51Show Jey something that perhaps he hasn't seen before.
01:13:54Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes, to your point, know one another so well as former Tag Team Championship partner.
01:14:00They've seen just about every play in one another's books.
01:14:03The fact is, Cody, or Jey for that matter, has to be the first to show a new look.
01:14:08Run a different play.
01:14:10Throw your opponent off guard.
01:14:11Jey sent into the corner.
01:14:13And Jey Uso, great performance against Obafemi.
01:14:16And a losing cause.
01:14:17Wait a minute.
01:14:18Cody slipped off the apron.
01:14:19And Jey Uso going to make a pay down with a suicide dive.
01:14:23Jey Uso has taken over.
01:14:30This has been a physical matchup since the get-go.
01:14:33Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, winner goes to Raw Monday night by Sami Zayn, the brand new WWE Champion.
01:14:42Here comes the main event.
01:14:44Jey Uso fighting his way back into this thing.
01:14:47But Cody dropped down with the right hand.
01:14:50Rhodes who lost the WWE title last Saturday night at Night of Champions.
01:14:57And a Cody cutter.
01:15:00Rhodes into the cover.
01:15:03And Jey Uso kicks out at two.
01:15:12Jey Uso needs to figure a way back into this thing.
01:15:15I think Jey may have tweaked his ankle a bit.
01:15:17He's been favoring it here.
01:15:19Snap bear take down.
01:15:20Now a Samoa drop to Cody.
01:15:22Yeah, I agree with you, Cole.
01:15:23It was off of the suicide dive to the outside.
01:15:25Jey hasn't quite been the same competitor in the moment since.
01:15:29And I fully expect Cody to have taken notice of that situation.
01:15:34The American Nightmare laid out here on our announce table.
01:15:38His main event, Jey Uso making his way as well.
01:15:40And Jey Uso now runs into a kick by Rhodes.
01:15:43Jey now sent over the announce table into the floor.
01:15:46And now Cody Rhodes cleaning up our announce table here.
01:15:50Cody understands the assignment.
01:15:52This is what it's gonna take.
01:15:53Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
01:15:54You can't show any mercy when there's a title shot on the line.
01:15:59Cody Rhodes hitting the announce table hard.
01:16:02And now main event Jey Uso vicious in his attack.
01:16:13And Jey now looking to pull out all the stops.
01:16:15Uso went for the suicide dive.
01:16:17Cody caught him with the right hand.
01:16:21Rhodes now launching main event into the timekeeper's area.
01:16:26Cody doing everything he can here.
01:16:27Launching himself off the barricade.
01:16:29And down goes Uso.
01:16:32This fight is spilling out everywhere.
01:16:38The official Dan Engler with his hands full here tonight.
01:16:42And this is exactly what both Cody and Jey should have expected.
01:16:46Neither man letting up.
01:16:48Oh!
01:16:49Both men down.
01:16:51This is to determine who's the number one contender for the WWE title.
01:17:01The winner of this match heads to Monday Night Raw for a WWE championship opportunity against
01:17:07Sami Zayn.
01:17:08Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso in a physical battle here tonight in our main event on Friday Night
01:17:13SmackDown.
01:17:14Rough landing for Cody.
01:17:15Here comes Jey.
01:17:17Uso splash.
01:17:18Cover.
01:17:19Is it enough?
01:17:21Cody kicks out.
01:17:25Take another look at this.
01:17:27Jey Uso soaring through the skies.
01:17:29Full impact on the Uso splash.
01:17:33Perhaps not the best cover executed by Uso.
01:17:37Otherwise, this one may be over.
01:17:39The official in this matchup, Dan Engler.
01:17:41The man who counted the 1-2-3 for Sami Zayn over Cody Rhodes this past Saturday in the
01:17:46triple threat match.
01:17:48Cody with a kick now to Jey.
01:17:50Gonna head up to the top rope looking for a massive Cody cutter.
01:17:54Is this enough?
01:17:55The second reward.
01:17:56And a kick out by Jey.
01:18:04Cody's trying not to get frustrated here.
01:18:07Hasn't been able to put Uso away.
01:18:19Oh!
01:18:21Ran into a kick of his own.
01:18:23Spear!
01:18:25Jey Uso!
01:18:26Going to Chicago!
01:18:28No!
01:18:31And that's a heartbreaker for main event Jey Uso.
01:18:36Delivering a spear.
01:18:38The crown of his head right into the ribcage of Cody Rhodes.
01:18:42But the American Nightmare kicks out.
01:18:48Critical point in this matchup.
01:18:52Both of these men have put their bodies through hell here tonight.
01:18:59All in the name of an opportunity.
01:19:01One chance to become undisputed WWE champion for Cody Rhodes again.
01:19:07For Jey for the very first time.
01:19:10Cody rolls out of hearts.
01:19:11It's a spear!
01:19:12Cody, it's a spear on Jey.
01:19:14Now he's got him where he wants him.
01:19:17Crossroads by Cody.
01:19:19Cover!
01:19:21Cody almost had him and a kick out by Jey.
01:19:25And now Cody's got to be questioning himself.
01:19:27What do I need to do to put Jey away?
01:19:32Ask those questions later, Cody.
01:19:35Keep your foot on the gas pedal.
01:19:38Rhodes cannot allow doubt to creep into his mind at this juncture.
01:19:43Cody knows what it means to be in the main event.
01:19:46Cody knows what it means to be QB1.
01:19:50And now is not the time for an internal crisis.
01:19:54Not quite sure what Cody's planning to do here.
01:19:58It looks to me like Cody's feeling desperate.
01:20:04Cody headed all the way up to the top rope.
01:20:09Rhodes with a splash.
01:20:10Knees up by Jey.
01:20:12Rolls up Cody.
01:20:13Is it enough?
01:20:14Cody kicks at it too.
01:20:17Another near fall.
01:20:20High pressure here.
01:20:24The high risk that backfired on Rhodes.
01:20:28Jey with the presence of mind to get both knees up.
01:20:31They also never know when you're going to get another championship opportunity.
01:20:35A world title opportunity.
01:20:40One of these men will earn one tonight.
01:20:52Rhodes and Uso looking to empty their tanks in the middle of the ring.
01:20:56That's how valuable an undisputed title opportunity is.
01:21:01The chance at immortality.
01:21:07Cody wants an opportunity to become a four-time champion.
01:21:11And now Jey Uso trying to lock in the sleeve.
01:21:14The move that won the world title at WrestleMania.
01:21:21Is Cody fading?
01:21:23Nope.
01:21:25Jey lands on his feet.
01:21:30On a roll by Uso.
01:21:32Cody able to turn around at least momentarily.
01:21:35Now backed up into the corner.
01:21:37Jey trying to lock it in again.
01:21:40Jey wanted a sleeper hold.
01:21:43Looked to adjust into it.
01:21:45Perhaps a dragon sleeper or maybe even a crossroads.
01:21:48Speaking of, crossroads again by Cody.
01:21:54Rhodes with a cover.
01:21:57Cody Rhodes is going to get a WWE title opportunity.
01:22:03Here is your winner.
01:22:06The American Nightmare.
01:22:09Cody Rhodes.
01:22:13For the first time in his career, Sami Zayn will understand what it feels like to be The Hunted.
01:22:21Because the former champion, the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes, was able to slip past a very game.
01:22:30Jey Uso tonight.
01:22:32Rhodes is headed to the second city.
01:22:35Intent on reclaiming the undisputed WWE Championship.
01:22:40The stage is set.
01:22:42Monday night on Raw.
01:22:45From Chicago.
01:22:47Cody.
01:22:48Sami.
01:22:49For the undisputed WWE Championship.
