00:01of the Olympics.
00:03I see what you did there.
00:06Gable with that elbow to Ethan Page.
00:09And now Chad hurts on the top rope,
00:12went for the moonsault.
00:13Page got his foot up,
00:15but Gable turns it into an ankle lock.
00:17And Page rolls through.
00:19Page had it scouted,
00:20well prepared to escape the ankle lock.
00:22Boot by Gable.
00:24Oh, there it is.
00:25The confidence breaker.
00:27Cover now for the win.
00:28Kick out by Gable.
00:34Is Page frustrated
00:35that he wasn't able to put Gable away quickly
00:37after the damage by Rusev?
00:39Perhaps I could envision a situation
00:42where Ethan Page expected this last phase
00:45of the gauntlet match to be
00:46something of a cakewalk.
00:48But here comes an egoplex to end it.
00:50Well, try the egoplex.
00:51And now an angle slam
00:54by Gable.
00:56Cover.
00:57Page kicks out.
01:00It would only have been appropriate
01:02if Ethan Page used the egoplex
01:04to advance to SummerSlam
01:06in Minnesota,
01:07the home of the late great
01:08Mr. Perfect.
01:14Big right hand by All-Ego stops Gable's upward ascent.
01:21And now a page top rope.
01:27Chad Gable trying to counter.
01:29Precarious situation for both of these men here.
01:32Might be looking for that avalanche body slam
01:34that Page has used.
01:35Penthouse felt this.
01:36Gable though able to slip back down to the mat.
01:39Ankle lock applied.
01:41Ankle lock applied.
01:43Page in trouble.
01:45Rolls through.
01:46Gable still got it locked in.
01:48Got it locked in good.
01:49Page trying to make it to the rope.
01:51Gable's going to snap Page's leg.
01:53Back to the middle of the ring.
01:55Page taps out.
01:56Gable one step closer to his dream.
02:00Here is your winner by submission.
02:06Chad Gable.
02:09Corey, the stage is set.
02:12In his home state of Minnesota.
02:15In his hometown of Minneapolis.
02:17Chad Gable has a chance to win his first singles title.
02:21Chad Gable able to fend off Rusev first.
02:24Then All-Ego.
02:26And once Gable had the ankle lock cinched in.
02:30It was a simply a matter of time.
02:34All-Ego left with no options but to submit.
02:37And Chad Gable has punched his ticket to the biggest party of the summer in Minnesota.
02:44As the United States Olympian will now challenge the dominant intercontinental champion Penta for the gold at SummerSlam.
02:52And speaking of the champion, Penta in the ring to go face-to-face with his SummerSlam challenger.
03:04This has become very intriguing.
03:07We talked about the high pressure for that man, Chad Gable, the challenger.
03:14And over the next couple of weeks, that pressure will only continue to fester inside Chad Gable.
03:23And it's interesting, you know, you dive into the history of Gable and Penta.
03:28It was Chad Gable who had Penta's first match here in WWE.
03:33And now they meet again at SummerSlam.
03:36It was Penta who could be responsible for the downward spiral Gable experienced over the past year plus.
03:42Original El Grande Americano.
03:44Mask versus mask.
03:45The apology toward the redemption of Chad Gable.
03:48Well, ladies and gentlemen, before we get to SummerSlam, we've got Saturday night's main event this week at Madison Square
03:53Garden in New York.
03:54It is a massive week in New York City for WWE.
03:57And we have breaking news now.
03:59This Thursday, don't miss a brand new episode of What Do You Want to Talk About with the American Nightmare,
04:06Cody Rhodes, and his guest, Tom Brady.
04:09The legendary quarterback.
04:11More Super Bowl wins than anyone in history.
04:14He joins Cody Rhodes, quarterback one, beats quarterback one, airing on WWE.
04:19What do you want to talk about on the YouTube channels?
04:23Man, that is going to be absolutely spectacular.
04:26No doubt about it.
04:27TV 12 still in my book.
04:29Nonetheless, Cody Rhodes is going to be busy at SummerSlam as well.
04:34Cody Rhodes will have an opportunity at the WWE title.
04:37This is how it all came about.
04:45Last Monday night, I got a phone call saying that the undisputed WWE champion needed a challenger.
04:53When championship opportunities fall out of the sky, CM Punk catches them.
04:59And now, I can stand here.
05:01That's the new undisputed WWE champion.
05:07Cody Anderson, if you think I have something that belongs to you, come and get it.
05:19What do you want to talk about?
05:22Championship opportunities that fall out of the sky.
05:26There are those championship opportunities.
05:28And then, there's championship matches that have been building for years.
05:36I assume you're talking about CM Punk, Cody Rhodes.
05:40We've both been avoiding this for quite some time.
05:43Because me and you are friends.
05:44And I don't want anything to come in between that.
05:47But I don't think you and I can run away from each other anymore.
05:50When I was champion, I think what I said to you was, just say when.
05:57And I don't know if that's the situation now, if I'm asking you to when.
06:05Summer Slam.
06:08Two of the biggest names in history collide for the WWE Championship.
06:16CM Punk defense against Cody Rhodes at Summer Slam.
06:23It is set in stone for Summer Slam.
06:27The undisputed WWE Champion, CM Punk, will defend against former champion,
06:34the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes, in Minnesota.
06:40Hey, sometimes I need a long time.
07:07Roman Reigns signs his contract for Summer Slam with Seth Rollins.
07:12Next.
07:33We all just witnessed the arrival of the OTC, which means we are just moments away
07:39from the Summer Slam contract signing between the World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
07:44and Seth freaking Rollins.
07:47Well, something else noteworthy we witnessed here tonight is the fact that Chad Gable is
07:51now the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship after winning the gauntlet match.
07:57And he will now challenge Penta at Summer Slam.
08:01Speaking of the gauntlet match, I want to welcome my guests, representing the Judgment Day,
08:07JD McDonough and the AAA Mega Champion, Dirty Dominic Mysterio.
08:16Dom, kind of a rough night for you.
08:19You were eliminated by Javon Evans in the gauntlet match.
08:23Byron, we're not here to talk about Javon Evans, all right?
08:26We're here to talk about another loser, Dan Housen.
08:30See, Dan Housen, you stuck your nose in Judge Renee's business for the last time tonight.
08:36From where I'm standing, you electrocuted me in your lab,
08:40you stole $100,000 of our hard-earned money,
08:45and tonight you cost on the Intercontinental title.
08:48That's strike three, Dan Housen.
08:51So after what happened, I went to Adam Pearce's office,
08:54and Judgment Day have a little bit of sway around here,
08:56so I got him to change our match, the Saturday night's main event,
09:00to a no DQ match.
09:03And that means on Saturday, Dan Housen,
09:05no more smoke and mirrors, no more magic.
09:08I'm going to prove to everybody that curses aren't real.
09:13The bell is going to ring.
09:15You're going to find yourself in the ring, face to face with the Irish ace,
09:19and I'm going to smack you up.
09:23Let's get out of here, Dan.
09:24I'll see you Saturday, punk.
09:45Hey, what a weekend coming up in the Big Apple, New York City.
09:48It all begins with WWE superstar appearances all over Fanatics Fest,
09:53Thursday through Sunday.
09:54Saturday, it's the Saturday night's main event countdown show,
09:57followed, of course, by Saturday night's main event.
10:00Sunday, live from Fanatics Fest,
10:02it's my honor to be able to host the SummerSlam kickoff show
10:06with a plethora of superstars.
10:08But let's focus on Saturday night inside the hollowed halls of Madison Square Garden.
10:14In our tag team main event,
10:17before they collide at SummerSlam,
10:19CM Punk and Cody Rhodes must work together
10:22to get past the duo of Gunther and Sami Zayn.
10:26We saw this matchup made earlier tonight.
10:28Bayley will take on the woman she tried to mentor
10:31throughout her early part of her career.
10:33It's Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
10:36And the WWE Women's Tag Team titles will be on the line
10:40as Paige and Brie Bella defend their gold against fatal influence.
