00:00And this weekend and next week, of course, at NFL Stadium is home to SummerSlam, presented by Gears of War.
00:04E-Day Emergence begins October 6th, pre-order now.
00:08And Wingstop, made to order, always fresh, get flavor delivered to your door at wingstop.com.
00:14And by Chase Freedom, the official credit card of SummerSlam.
00:19Moments ago, smacked down a runaway train as Nick Aldis got physical with Gunther, and this is how Gunther reacted.
00:25Yeah, this was after some verbals from both men, Nick Aldis temporarily relinquishing duties as GM until after SummerSlam,
00:34meaning he can throw hands with Gunther, but conversely, Gunther can also throw hands with Nick Aldis.
00:44And perhaps, with Adam Pearce blocked out of the way, one low blow later, followed up by this devastating powerbomb
00:53through a table,
00:53and the reality of SummerSlam is dawning on Nick Aldis.
00:58Let's go backstage for an update with Kathy Kelly.
01:02Kathy!
01:04Yeah, guys, I can tell you that Nick Aldis is inside right now being...
01:08Come over here!
01:09Hey!
01:09Hey, we're live right now!
01:10I know we're live, Kathy!
01:11Get out of here!
01:12There's something I want to get off my chest!
01:14Okay?
01:16At Night of Champions, I did what they told me for years I would never be able to do.
01:20I won the WWE Championship, okay?
01:23I did it!
01:24I did it!
01:25And it became crystal clear to me as soon as I won that clearly the powers that be around here,
01:30Nick Aldis, Adam Pearce, they didn't want Sami Zayn as WWE Champion.
01:35Because within days, I had to defend my championship on a show I wasn't even on.
01:40Within days, we had a brand new number one contender, and lo and behold, it's the Golden Boy!
01:47Cody Rhodes!
01:48Can you imagine that?
01:49And when he actually gets taken out, don't worry about it, because we've got CM Punk,
01:55corporate poster boy number two, just waiting fresh as a daisy, ready to go.
02:01So congratulations.
02:02You took the championship off, Sami Zayn.
02:04Hooray!
02:05You got your marquee matchup at SummerSlam.
02:08Cody Rhodes, CM Punk!
02:10Whoa!
02:10That looks good on a poster, don't it?
02:12Everyone's happy!
02:15Nick Aldis, Gunther, they have a match at SummerSlam.
02:18They get to resolve their issues, everybody's happy.
02:20What about me?
02:21Hmm?
02:21The guy who 18 days ago was still WWE Champion, I'm supposed to ride the bench at SummerSlam?
02:32Make it make sense.
02:34Make it make sense to me.
02:37Hey, hey, hey, Adam, you could do something about this, you fix this situation.
02:43I'm going to check on Nick.
02:44No, you're not, you're dealing with me now.
02:47As far as I'm concerned, Nick Aldis deserves to be in that room, because he didn't just screw
02:51Gunther over at Saturday night's main event, he screwed me too.
02:54That match was my ticket to the championship at SummerSlam, Adam.
02:59What do you want me to say?
03:00You got caught in the crosshairs, you had a bad day, it didn't go your way.
03:03Yes, yes!
03:03It didn't go your way, Sammy!
03:04Okay, so great.
03:06So make it right.
03:08The WWE Championship match at SummerSlam, make it a triple threat.
03:14CM Punk versus Cody Rhodes versus Sami Zayn.
03:18Sami, that is locked in.
03:20Come on, Adam.
03:21The match is Cody and Punk, Adam, it's- The match is Cody and Punk.
03:24So when you don't, you can't make a match with-
03:26Sami, shut up!
03:28Have you watched the show?
03:33Look, I admit it, you got caught in the crosshairs.
03:35It didn't go your way.
03:36Okay, fine, so here's what I'm gonna do.
03:38You heard Punk, he mentioned there's a list of superstars he'd love to face.
03:42There's a Fatal 4-Way tonight, Damian Priest, Trick Williams, Royce Keys, and Finn Balor.
03:51Winner of that match goes on to SummerSlam in a number one contender's match against you.
03:57Earn your way back in.
03:59So let me get this straight.
04:02Those guys, all they have to do is be mentioned by CM Punk and they get an opportunity?
04:09Cody Rhodes, all he's gotta do is just say when and he gets an opportunity?
04:14CM Punk sits his ass on his couch for three months and just waits for a championship opportunity to fall
04:19out of the sky.
04:20But me, the former WWE Champion, I have to earn my way back in?
04:25Sami, I've listened to you.
04:27I've given you an option.
04:29Take it or leave it.
04:39Fine.
04:41Fine, I'll take it.
04:42But Adam, no shenanigans, no more surprises, no more funny business, we good?
04:49I'm real good.
04:50Yeah.
04:51And now I'm gonna go check on you.
04:52Yeah, you do that.
04:52I will. Go check on him.
04:53Give him my regards.
04:55Hey, are you okay?
04:59That is huge, Joe.
05:01It is huge, number one contender's match coming our way at SummerSlam.
05:05The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
05:09Introducing first, accompanied by Paige, WWE Hall of Famer, Brie Bella!
05:17Of course, the last three months for Brie, a magic ride with Paige as Tag Team Champions.
05:23The last six days, that's what stings, because gold is now in the hands of this group.
05:28I can see them and I know we won't let you in.
05:33Cause we hold on the line, and I'll blind you in there.
05:39And her opponent, accompanied by J.C. Jane and Fallon Henley, representing Fatal Influence,
05:47she is one half of the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, Lady Rie!
05:57All right, all right, cut the music.
06:00Your tag team champions have something to say.
06:08I mean, I just kind of find it funny how Saturday night's main event was supposed to be the most
06:15important night of our career,
06:17but somehow you two are gonna be the ones who remember that night forever.
06:25I mean, hell, we just got here and Ori took out two legends.
06:31I mean, if I were you, that'd keep me up at night.
06:36Now, if only I had gold around my waist, we would be the perfect package.
06:46But thanks to you two idiots for helping Tiffany last week, I'm not even in the WWE Women's Championship ladder
06:55match.
06:58I know I should be.
07:00But you know, it's fine.
07:03It's fine because I came up with the perfect solution.
07:15Tiffany, that United States Championship of yours will be mine in due time.
07:25As for tonight, just like she did to Paige on Saturday, Lainey is gonna humiliate Brie Bella and finally put
07:36her out of her misery once and for all.
07:42Well, Lainey Reed is wasting no time trying to get after it.
07:46But Brie Bella clocks her with one massive right hand that floors her.
07:51Oh, the bell not even rung yet.
07:52And this will turn into a brawl right off the bat.
07:58As Reed.
08:01And Brie gets the best of it.
08:03And Brie just a little too nimble.
08:05Been around the block a few times.
08:07Knows every trick in the book.
08:09And simply too much veteran awareness for Lainey Reed.
08:13Shake it off! Shake it off!
08:16And there is the bell to get things underway here.
08:19Six days removed from what happened.
08:21Madison Square Garden when Fatal Influence was able to get the best of them and take the championships.
08:26And say what you want about Fatal Influence and how they arrived to this main roster of SmackDown.
08:32But wait, they have delivered on exactly what they said they would.
08:36And no doubt about it.
08:37Look, it was a controversial ending to that match where we saw the championships change hands.
08:42A lot of people upset with the behavior of Fatal Influence since arriving on SmackDown.
08:47But you have to know that is coming against this trio.
08:51And now Fatal Influence.
08:53Oh, leaping cutter there from Lainey Reed in full control.
08:57And Fatal Influence going from strength to strength here on SmackDown.
09:11This crowd here in Oakland fueling every ounce of a comeback for Brie Bella against Lainey Reed.
09:17A series of yes kicks being delivered.
09:21You know what, we're going to Brie Moe!
09:25Bullseye right on the jaw of Lainey Reed.
09:30Just six days removed from their matchup in the Tag Team Championship at MSG.
09:36Of course, it was Saturday night's main event when Fatal Influence's leader JC Jane got involved.
09:41It created an opening for Reed and Fallon Henley to take control.
09:45Yeah, using that numbers game once again that has been the modus operandum of Fatal Influence since arriving here on
09:53SmackDown.
09:53But now it's one-on-one in that ring and things are starting to look a little bleak for one
09:58half of the Tag Team Champions.
10:01From a Bulldog to up top.
10:02Fallon Henley tried to get involved and she was kicked away off the apron.
10:08But did give just enough time for Lainey Reed to recover Wade.
10:12And that was a stinging kick right to the temple of Brie Bella who has to be rocked on the
10:16top rope but still throwing shots.
10:21Able to dismiss Reed for a moment.
10:25And now it's JC Jane and Paige is able to neutralize her.
10:31Well that was the great equalizer from Paige.
10:33I was looking for the sunset but instead look at Lainey Reed.
10:37Oh and the ref did a great job of seeing the rope so look at this counter.
10:42What a great veteran move by Brie Bella.
10:47Here is your winner, Brie.
10:49Oh boy.
10:51Well, speed of mind from Brie Bella.
10:53However, once again.
10:55You were just missing the numbers game.
10:57That numbers game of Fatal Influence.
10:59Wait a minute.
11:04Nikki Bella's back.
11:06Oh man, out of action with a foot injury since before WrestleMania.
11:12Got to go all the way back to late March on SmackDown.
11:16She suffered that injury.
11:18Wasn't able to go at WrestleMania 42 when the titles were won with Paige as the shocking replacement.
11:26But here she is in late July.
11:31Little Rack Attack 2.0.
11:33Nikki Bella.
11:36Well Bella Army, we are eating good tonight in Oakland.
11:42What a way to return.
11:45Hey, hey.
11:46So you bitches think you can, oh no, no, no.
11:50You think you could sneak up from the minor leagues, steal from my sisters and get away with it?
11:57No, no, no, no, no.
11:59We are the reason why you guys are here.
12:02So now it's time for a wake-up call.
12:06Us three will be taking you three on in a six-woman tag at SummerSlam.
12:15It just gets better and better and better.
12:19Next weekend, US Bank Stadium in Minnesota.
12:22A six-woman tag.
12:27Let's go backstage to Kathy Kelly.
12:30Kathy, take it away.
12:32Like you said, what a return for Nikki Bella.
12:35Very much looking forward to that six-woman tag team match at SummerSlam.
