00:00strategy from the former champion and sammy zane once again back in the match and a chop will drive
00:06him back to the corner sammy with an elbow looking to fight back here sammy zane runs into a chop
00:12by
00:13gunther i was just about to say despite what you think of his actions recently sammy zane has got
00:18heart he's got tremendous resilience he's built his career on that but does he have enough of
00:23that tonight against gunther and cody if anybody can figure out a way to summon the will to muster
00:31that little bit of extra it is sammy zane he's made a career off it that said he is opposing
00:37two of the
00:38greatest sports entertainer in the world cody realized what was at stake here he didn't care
00:49he said bring me gunther bring me sammy zane make it a triple threat
00:54and no one thrives on pressure quite like the american nightmare up and over goes roads
00:59gunther runs into a power slam by cody and now sammy into the fray cody caught him
01:06cover by the champ sammy's still in it
01:14take a look at this exchange roads able to whip gunther over with a power slam and then following
01:20with a side effect to sammy zane and the champion in control for the moment and here's gutter now
01:27cody able to duck underneath it because a double cody caught her cody looks good tonight
01:33sure does
01:40suicide dive by rhodes and cody's got gunther a bit out of sorts here
01:48we talk so frequently about the importance of strategy
01:51went for the sunset flip gunther trying to hang on
01:54does it pinning combination kick out at two
01:57rhodes is no exception when it comes to planning the game for a match
02:01and gunther though went for that pound that power bomb cody from behind looking for the crossroads
02:06gunther into a snap there
02:09hooks cody up
02:10power on the roads stacks him up
02:13is it enough sammy zane saves the match up for himself
02:18for himself being the operative word cole because sammy realizes that even though
02:22he may not be involved in the fall his biggest opportunity could very well go up in smoke
02:28this is what i'm talking about when it comes to hanging around the rim
02:31being ready for anything we mentioned gunther and what he did his styles back at the rumble
02:35i'd like to mention as well that remember the rumble match earlier this year
02:39here in riad gunther was runner up to roman reigns that night
02:44oh as he's driven into the steps by sammy and sammy
02:48showing a little bit aggressiveness here tonight
02:53i compared sammy to wimby the center of the san antonio spurs i called him entitled i called him delusional
02:59and spoiled
03:00do you look at that with sammy zane it went for the blue thunder bomb
03:04cody able to counter it firing off a series of lefts
03:10oh sammy caught him blue thunder bomb zane's got a chance
03:15cody kicks out
03:18and to answer your question and your comparison
03:21between sammy zane and wimby i absolutely disagree
03:25i understand sammy has a tendency to be a bit abrasive in his ways sometimes
03:29but in sammy's heart he believes he is justified in all of his actions
03:34whether you agree or not is irrelevant to zane he wants what he wants
03:40sammy trying to feed off this capacity crowd tonight
03:44cody is in trouble in the corner sammy's got him
03:47looking for a haluba kick and gunther again
03:50oh no
03:53no count outs no disqualifications under triple threat rules
03:56it may be a while before we see sammy again
03:59oh
04:01it's interesting gunther keeps flinging sammy out of the ring
04:04because he wants to pin the champion to win the title tonight
04:08and that's what it all boils down to gunther believing that the mat is sacred
04:11he is still very old school in his mentality
04:14if you want to call yourself the champion you want to beat the champion
04:17make it undeniable
04:19yeah but there's so many whispers out there that gunther can't beat cody
04:22and that sticks with gunther and he wants to make sure the world knows he can do it tonight
04:26you're absolutely right again
04:27gunther now with a front face lock applied to the american nightmare
04:31not much real estate to work with for either man
04:34gunther looking to hook cody here cody up on the top rope
04:37trying to block
04:39he does drops gunther to the mat
04:41and what does rhodes do now
04:44uh-oh gunther caught him
04:45waist lock now applied
04:47cody turns it around
04:49rhodes crossroads to gunther
04:51cody to retain
04:53hook to the leg
04:54oh and sammy zane pulls out the official
04:57completely legal
05:02and i understand the frustration rhodes is feeling
05:05it may be unpopular
05:06but it was absolutely necessary for sammy zane
05:10to prevent the count of three
05:15and cody
05:17wants sammy
05:34and these two men who were once the closest of friends
05:39now fighting it for the biggest prize in the business
