06:08i'm sick of you i'm sick of you putting officials in danger
06:12i'm sick of you putting fans in danger and quite frankly i'm sick of you both disrespecting me
06:17so here's what's gonna happen now at sunday night's main event you two can tear each other apart
06:23but not one minute sooner and since you're both obsessed with being wwe champion
06:32if either of you lays a finger on the other before sunday night's main event
06:38mark my words you will never never get another shot at the wwe championship
06:46and you can take that to the bank both of you
06:52look at me and though i'm dead serious
06:58so what's it gonna be boys you want to keep screwing up my show or do you want another title
07:04shot
07:09i'll tell you one thing right now there is no way in absolute hell
07:15nick that i am going to get in this ring tonight and jeopardize me becoming a 15-time world championship
07:21you have my word you can call me mr professional
07:25that's the term right mr professional but while i'm out here i do have
07:30a question for you a few minutes ago while i was in the back i heard you say something about
07:37finishing off where we left off last week on smackdown
07:41now i saw the footage you had that chair held up high you were about to smash my head
07:46like a grape and you would have everyone believe that you were stopped
07:50from doing such a thing but i know cody i know you better than you know yourself and i know
07:55that
07:56is a lie i know that if you swung that chair
07:59you wouldn't be able to live with yourself now me months ago before wrestlemania i swung that chair
08:05as hard as i could i saw red and i had zero remorse zero want to know why because i
08:14know
08:14how to go there i know how to do what needs to be done i know how to be my
08:20worst self the worst version
08:23of cody rhodes are you serious you are a good guy you have always been a good guy you always
08:34will be a good guy the golden boy american nightmare brother you are the american daydream
08:45two weeks ago you asked a question the question was this who is going to kill the legend of randy
08:53orton well you didn't finish you didn't answer that question and i know why cody because it's not going
09:01to be you you are operating on a very dangerous assumption you're assuming that me swinging that chair
09:14is the wrong thing to do you said it yourself you shook my hand you called me your brother
09:19and then you painted that table red with my blood then at wrestlemania you lost and before you left
09:26you kicked me so hard in the skull i still got makeup covering it up so what stops me from
09:33doing
09:33that and is that really the wrong thing do you think that are you sure now i have learned from
09:41my
09:41friends my heroes my enemies and i have learned from you take this as a moment with me trying to
09:50teach
09:50you something say you're right say you go and you win the 15th hell maybe the 16th maybe the 17th
09:58maybe
09:59you break every rest record there is maybe randy orton becomes the greatest of all time but here's what
10:05happens after you still come back to me the one who kills the legend killer is qb1 and randy
10:18that is not a prediction
10:26it's a spoiler

13:40you want a moment this is always a moment
13:43it's sunday night's main event atlanta labor day weekend sunday september 6th
13:49tickets on sale now
13:53always great to be in toronto of course you go back to mania here in 1990 67 000
14:00we're at the skydome we got a massive crowd of just under 18 000 at scotia bank arena tonight
14:06the former champs you know you asked the question was lost in simply the perfect storm of that cripple
14:11threat we saw a week ago
14:13or have the mfts under their father's guidance become the dominant force now in the tag division
14:21well priest and truth get the chance to answer that themselves and they beat the men who took the
14:25championships and take them right back into their possession
14:53uh with the legendary haku leading the way for the new champs in the battle
14:59and their opponents accompanied by haku with a combined weight of 520 pounds
15:07they are the wwe tag team champion tamatanga talatanga
15:18that tag gold adding some legitimacy not like they needed it but this is ours one last week on
15:24smackdown the war raiders taking out priest leaving our truth alone in the ring with the tongans and
15:32once the war raiders were taken out for good things went downhill rapidly for our truth this move the
15:38brothers keeper with haku looking on from ringside signaling the death knell for the reign of priest and
15:46truth and yes we are crowned new wwe tag team champions the mfts
15:56haku's just off to our right right now wade
15:59you just called him legendary let me add an extra one legendary and terrifying that's what i was just
16:05about to say is the gold is on the line here just a week later and wasting no time here
16:12as they're fighting for the tag team championship here's a little example of what haku has done for
16:19the mft duo his songs he's added that extra layer of aggression to them that was perhaps missing
16:25previously and that's the real reason they have tagged gold right now we'll talk about aggression the
16:31street king damian priest knows a thing or two about that yeah it's an aggression that has a certain
16:36focus to it really like a danger that's unmatched and you can just sense it the moment they come down
16:42to the ring yes priest tries to turn things around early on here it's been a mentality shift for the
16:48mts but you haven't been delivering the cuts was the message from the elders and it turned out the
16:52elders were indeed haku himself well they're the war raiders looking on jams and they are not too happy
16:59that they were not victorious last week but this action in the tag division show in smackdown is really
17:04hotting up right now it is it's a change with the mf tongans now with gold oh what a big
17:11boot
17:11from priest and i'll tell you right now joe when it comes to losing your titles like priest and truth
17:17has have done last week the one thing you're going to cling on to is the fact that you lost
17:21it
17:22in triple threat action that is a different scenario than right now this is a straight up two on two
17:28tag
17:30where in theory the best team should
17:33you
