00:03Nick, I've got to be honest, mate, I do not envy your job for one second.
00:08It's been chaos around here, and on top of that, I just heard Randy talking about going after number 15.
00:13But when it comes to the WWE Championship, and who should be up next?
00:19I mean what I said a couple of weeks ago.
00:21The line starts with me.
00:22So whoever comes out on top tonight, you just say the word, because I'm ready.
00:26All right, look, I understand that, but look, I know this isn't what you want to hear, but what you
00:30want to be thinking about next is money in the bank.
00:33Whoa! Hey, did you say some kind of human money's in the bank?
00:36I will explain another time.
00:38All right, thank you, sir.
00:38Okay, sorry about that.
00:39Tell us, you know what it means to get your hands on that briefcase, right?
00:42It's a game changer.
00:44Good, sir.
00:46Hey, how many times are we going to do this?
00:47You are once again interrupting an important private conversation.
00:51Because that's easy, because you put people into positions where they don't belong, especially this guy.
00:56But don't look at me like that.
00:57Let's be honest to each other.
00:59You peaked ten years ago, brother.
01:01If you would have any decency for yourself, you would have hung up your boots a long time ago.
01:06And maybe it takes somebody to beat it into you for you to actually see it.
01:14Seriously?
01:15I'm sorry about that.
01:16I'm sorry about it.
01:17He's a whiny little bitch.
01:18I've heard it all before.
01:20What did you say?
01:20Hey.
01:21I'm once.
01:21Hey.
01:21What did you say?
01:22Hey.
01:23Whoa.
01:34All right.
01:37All right.
01:37All right, sir.
01:43Wow.
01:44Everyone wants a shot at the title.
01:50Well, Nia Jax has her opportunity.
01:59Up next, Nia Jax looks to win the WWE title from Chelsea Green on SmackDown.
02:37A peculiar one, Mr. Oguana, hoping to win the gold.
02:41One of his opponents, none other than the high-flying Laredo Kid.
02:45He is indeed a treat to watch.
02:48And the champion in this triple threat match, none other than La Parca.
02:53They hope to steal the show tonight at TripleMania in Las Vegas,
02:57immediately following SmackDown on WWE's YouTube channel.
03:03There's Nia Jax, opportunity to win her third WWE Women's Championship.
03:10She may never get an easier opportunity in her career.
03:29And we're accompanied by Tiffany Stratton with Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
03:37She is with WWE Women's Champion, Chelsea Green!
03:44He's valiant champion, Chelsea Green.
03:47You've got to give her a full load of props.
03:50She wanted to defend the championship.
03:52She works hard to get better.
03:53She's got the protective mask on.
03:56This is Chelsea's first title defense.
03:58And time was won an outweigh.
04:00Had to defend the title tonight.
04:02Four, give it up.
04:04It'll increase the championship.
04:05Now, put the brakes on the plate.
04:07She wanted to defend that championship.
04:09Because if she did it, she would be stripped of the championship.
04:13Now, the problem is the protective mask, as you put it,
04:17was ripped off by Nia Jax rather easily last week.
04:22After Nia Jax had just defeated Tiffany Stratton.
04:25All being a little out from last season.
04:28So, talk to Chelsea Green in the aftermath.
04:31Let it in her next week, Chelsea.
04:32You're in big trouble.
04:33Chelsea Green, come down on me.
04:35Colors in Mexico.
04:36She's a former AAA mixed tag team champion.
04:39Of course, Nia Jax in the red, white, and blue.
04:42Chelsea with the big support of over 12,000.
04:45Here we go.
04:45And it's up to underway.
04:46Chelsea Green has met Nia Jax one-on-one once before.
04:49And she owns a victory over Jax.
04:51A one-on-one matchup back in May.
04:53As Nia is set outside the ring.
04:55That was a fast start there for Chelsea.
04:57It has to be.
04:58She might want to pull.
04:58Oh, it's up.
04:59Oh-oh.
05:00Colors caught as he tried to tope suecito and driven into the apron.
05:04Nia Jax now sends Chelsea Green over the Spanish announce desk and the dominance of the irresistible force.
05:14USA jumps from Nia Jax looked at disapprovingly by this Mexican audience.
05:21And you have to be honest, Colt, Nia Jax looks at Chelsea Green as you see a prey.
05:27And the best of times in that face mask there bouncing off the Spanish announce table.
05:33And now Chelsea Green, who, of course, won the championship back in a ladder match at SummerSlam.
05:39Suddenly, a fractured orbital bone.
05:43They got clucked by that JC Jane rolling on for a few days after that SummerSlam event.
05:49It's a tag match for the bad luck of Chelsea Green.
05:55And Chelsea trying to fight back against the former two-time WWE Women's Champion field into the corner by Nia,
06:01who's just been dominating so far.
06:03Yeah, Chelsea trying to fight back, trying the opposite word, but perhaps failing would be a better one
06:09because very little is working at...
06:11Chelsea!
06:12Here we go.
06:13With a step up, Ben Zaguri drops Nia to an E.
06:15Nia Jax is hungry.
06:17Hasn't held a title in almost two years.
06:19The first title opportunity for the WWE Championship in a year.
06:22Chelsea Green now.
06:24High-risk, top throw.
06:25There's a drop kick.
06:26Drive Nia Jax outside the weekend in front of Last Legend.
06:29Last looking on, trying to help Nia Jax.
06:33Nia Jax still managing to stay on her feet.
06:35Shows how difficult it is to drop the former champ.
06:38Oh, no!
06:39Chelsea went for a kick and dropped down the apron by Nia.
06:42Full old somersault there.
06:44And this is going to get ugly.
06:45Oh, it ripped into the barricade.
06:47And I'm afraid to say, I believe the first title defense could be the last for Chelsea Green tonight.
06:53Well, Chelsea Green has been doubted and looked down upon her entire career tonight.
06:59Clearly no different, at least from the perspective of Nia Jax.
07:02So probably anyone with a betting mindset doesn't really give Chelsea Green much hope from here.
07:09Second of four championship matches here tonight on Friday Night Smackdown.
07:13Ray Phoenix retaining the AAA World Cruiserweight title earlier on against Rittany Saints.
07:19As Nia Jax is having to wait.
07:21Notice the offense focusing on the protected face of Green.
07:24Now it's going to trap that protected mask.
07:26And I'd say now Jax is certainly capable of still fighting inside of Chelsea Green.
07:31You were looking over the shoulder of Tiffany Stratton out here in support.
07:35Chelsea Green sit down.
07:38Uranagi.
07:39Oh.
07:39By Nia.
07:40Cover to win the championship.
07:43And Chelsea just gets the shoulder out.
07:45God, just crushing the sternum of Chelsea Green.
07:48I mean, you need a full body protective cast when this kind of offense is going thrown in your direction.
07:56What a physical mismatch between these two.
07:59And that's completely ignoring for a second the massive injury on the face of Chelsea Green.
08:04Over 12,000 in the corner of Chelsea Green tonight.
08:07Who's trying to fight back against a very game Nia Jax.
08:11Who's just dominating the champion.
08:1312,001 if you include Tiffany Stratton on the outside.
08:16Who has been really made redundant.
08:18Little of the wording of Tiffany Stratton has helped at all it seems to Chelsea Green.
08:23And they cover the end here, Cole.
08:24Nia Jax just looking to punish and torture the champion.
08:32Hanging Chelsea Green by the mask.
08:34I thought she was grabbing the mask of Green.
08:36Trying to rip it off Green's face.
08:40Chelsea Green should have seen.
08:42And a kick by Green.
08:43Remember what our general manager Nick Garda said.
08:44No way.
08:45And what power by Chelsea Green.
08:49Sending Nia Jax to the center of the ring.
08:52And Green has an opportunity.
08:53A small pivot there on the top rope from Chelsea Green.
08:56Using that momentum and gravity.
08:58Now she jumps Chelsea.
09:01Green with a kick to Nia Jax.
09:03And just caught.
09:05Oh, look at that.
09:06Turned it into a hurricane.
09:07And Rana into the second rope.
09:09Chelsea Green now.
09:11Double knees to the spine.
09:13Well, somehow Chelsea Green has bore herself a chance.
09:16But, jeez.
09:17Oh, no.
09:17The power is ridiculous.
09:18And it's the ball and dropped by Jax.
09:21Cover for the championship.
09:24Green gets the shoulder out to Nia now.
09:27Nia is disbelief over a kick out there.
09:30And almost pissed off that Chelsea Green had the audacity to keep the fight going in this one.
09:38Nia Jax now ripping the protective mask off the face of Chelsea Green.
09:43Chelsea's injury now exposed.
09:45This is bad news for the champion.
09:47With the refs back.
09:48Turned way up.
09:49Last legend.
09:50The official deal with Nia.
09:52Last legend.
09:53And Tiffany Stratton just took the bullet.
09:55Tiffany Stratton.
09:56Shove Chelsea out of harm's way.
09:59Took the bullet for the champion.
10:00And an unprotected Chelsea Green now back in the ring.
10:05Oh, hell, that mask has gone drunk.
10:07Oh, no.
10:08In position for the annihilator.
10:11Nia Jax Green.
10:12He's out of harm's way.
10:14Oh, that was an ugly landing for Nia Jax.
10:16That one is going to sting.
10:18And Chelsea able to put that protective mask back on.
10:21Thank goodness.
10:23We're very lucky.
10:24The damage wasn't far worse with it all.
10:26But a little hangman there from Chelsea Green.
10:28He suddenly has some momentum here.
10:30Now Chelsea Conner head up to the top rope now.
10:34Nia Jax is going to meet her there.
10:36And again, trying to...
10:38Oh, and a headbutt.
10:40With the mask.
10:40Actually, a facebutt from the mask.
10:43This should be illegal.
10:44But Nia Jax.
10:46And now Chelsea Green with an unpretty hole.
10:52Puts the leg.
10:54Chelsea repays.
10:58Here is your winner.
10:59And still, WWE Women's Champion, Chelsea Green.
11:06What a goofy performance.
11:09Well, hats off to Timothy Stratford taking that point from last election.
11:12But the guts of Chelsea Green.
11:15Figuring out a way to win.
11:17Well, let's head over to Kathy Kelly.
11:20Well, Chelsea Green will change her championship.
11:23And later tonight, the man standing beside me, let's just say the same, CM Punk.
11:28You know, Sami Zayn has badgered his way into this rematch for World Unite, or Undisputed WWE Championship.
11:34I'm sorry.
11:36Why give him this?
11:39Sometimes you've got to reward bad behavior.
11:42Sometimes bad behavior needs to be taught a lesson.
11:45And Sami Zayn, sometimes when you're the champion, I don't think you understand, it's like you won the idiot lottery.
11:52So Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, they're part of the problem.
11:57I also got Gunther, Finn Balor.
12:01All eyes are on the champion.
12:02But if you think I came to Mexico City, where some of the greatest pro wrestling fans in the world
12:08reside,
12:09to lose my title to a guy who broke his hand, jerking it to his nine-day fluke title win,
12:16you got another thing coming.
12:17The air here is rare.
12:19We are at elevation 8,000 feet.
12:22And the air is even more rare when you're on the champ's shoulders.
12:25When I lift you up high into the clouds and drop your ugly face down onto my knee
12:30and shatter your face, hopefully, so we can wire it shut.
12:33So we never have to listen to the thinner excuses in the air here that you're going to give when
12:39you lose again
12:40and understand why I am CM Punk, why I am undisputed, why I am the champion.
12:48Best in the world, Mexico, CM Punk.
12:52My name is CM Punk, and I have approved this message.
12:56Very poetic.
12:57Good luck tonight.
12:59Good luck to see you.
13:02That is our main event still to come tonight,
13:04but right now our third championship match of Championship Friday.
13:11That is our main event still to come tonight.
13:21Good luck tonight.
13:29Good luck tonight.
13:32Good luck tonight.
13:34Good luck tonight.
13:36Good luck tonight.
13:36Good luck tonight.
13:36Good luck tonight.
13:36Good luck tonight.
13:37Good luck tonight.
13:38Good luck tonight.
13:38Good luck tonight.
13:38Good luck tonight.
14:14The former WWE Tag Team Champions hoping to win the AAA Tag Team titles here tonight.
14:21Damian Priest and R2, one last ride for the duo unless they can win the gold.
14:39Mexico City, you better get ready for a Friday Night War!
14:52And their opponent, with a combined weight of 597 pounds, they are the AAA World Tag Team Champions!
15:02And Ivan, the War Raider!
15:07What a lot, what a lot of them.
15:10So, Michael Cole, let's move on.
15:12These two teams actually did compete a few weeks ago, a triple threat match that you mentioned.
15:17Won by MFT, that was for the WWE Tag Titles, of course.
15:23Priest thought things were over for the team, and Drew convinced him otherwise.
15:27No, there's more gold in our future, and that gold in future against tonight, if they can
15:33relieve the War Raiders of these AAA Tag Team Championships.
15:37Leader official, Charles Robinson, will work this match up for the AAA Tag Team titles.
15:42In front of 12,651, here tonight, in Mexico City.
15:50Polar opposite personalities, Priest and R2, but once this bell rings, the magic begins,
15:57and it is undeniable magic that has led them to so much success.
16:01And look at this, War Raiders!
16:02Waste the little time, bells underway.
16:04This match is brought to you by Men's Warehouse.
16:07Love the way you look.
16:08And Eric driving Ivar into R-Truth.
16:12Yeah, I don't think R-Truth is loving anything about the way this match has started.
16:16Game absolutely blitzed here, and this could be over right now, Cole!
16:21What a splat by Ivar.
16:23Cover, R-Truth, who kicks out at two.
16:25Now, the winner of this matchup tonight will defend the AAA Tag Team Titles this coming Sunday
16:32at TripleMania in an open challenge matchup.
16:36And Eric comes in off the tag.
16:38This is just merciless barbarity from the off of the AAA Tag Team Champions, the War Raiders.
16:46They did not turn up in Mexico tonight to take an out.
16:54Very proud of their achievements south of the border, and the run they've been on with
16:58these AAA Tag Team Titles, and looking for it to continue in a big way.
17:02These two teams actually met back in the last day of July, and a winner-take-all matchup ended up
17:08in a no-contest.
17:09And here's the cover now by Ivar.
17:11Hook of the leg on Truth and a kick-out.
17:13Yeah, and that night you mentioned there really was the beginning of what the MFTs have become today,
17:18and subsequently acquiring Tag Gold, but not like a major, major threat to anybody at this point.
17:24Despite what you may have figured out, it's a great scene.
17:26Haku, back on the scene.
17:28Yes, he did.
17:28Except he's not in the history of this industry.
17:31I'll tell you what, our truth is pretty down top too.
17:34That somehow he should be wiped out by now, but that's pretty neat in that tag.
17:38To Priest, and he gets it.
17:39And here's Priest, the former world champion, with a kick now to Ivar.
17:43And Damian Priest would love to win some gold here tonight.
17:47We've seen him in AAA in recent weeks.
17:52Such a volatile individual, and needs all of that power now to take on these War Raiders.
17:57And there's the power you speak of.
17:59Priest leveling Ivar.
18:02And Eric leveled as well at that jumping elbow.
18:06Priest just...
18:06Bam!
18:06A little extra agitated tonight since losing that tag championship to MFT.
18:13And we're going to fix things here in Mexico City.
18:16Priest with a martial arts background, and he's as powerful as they come.
18:19As powerful as they come, and the greatest range of punches and strikes.
18:24And look at this.
18:25Base first goes Ivar.
18:26Cover now.
18:27Is it enough to win?
18:27The gold kick out.
18:29The Street King is looking pretty damn good tonight.
18:32And he hasn't even broken sweat.
18:44And now Priest and Eric taking Ivar outside the ring.
18:49Pretty rarely do you see the War Raiders on the retreat.
18:53But that is the power that we talked about of Damian Priest.
18:57And Damian Priest not looking to slow down here.
18:58Look out now.
19:00Priest takes out both of the War Raiders.
19:02No!
19:03Priest, a one-man wrecking crew.
19:20And Damian Priest has taken it to Eric and Ivar.
19:25Behind the referees back here.
19:27Eric getting involved.
19:28Eric is not the legal man.
19:29Slow down Damian Priest, allowing Ivar to get that cheap shot in right on the jaw.
19:36And now the War Raiders go back on the attack.
19:40It's about 750 pounds of menace now.
19:45Boom!
19:47Large chunk of that just came crashing down on the ribcage of Damian Priest.
20:01Now the tables have really turned back in favor of the War Raiders.
20:07Trying to shake off the cobwebs desperately here is Damian Priest.
20:11And now it's him who's in jeopardy leaving that tag to R-Truth.
20:16What an electric crowd here tonight in Mexico City.
20:20The third of four championship matches.
20:27American.
20:28Eric with that front face lock controlling Priest to him.
20:32That is best to squeeze the life out of Damian Priest.
20:34But Damian Priest simply has no grit in his body.
20:37Getting tantalizingly close to that tag to R-Truth.
20:41But being down once again.
20:44The ribs of Damian Priest seem to be the focal point of attach now for the War Raiders
20:48ever since the damage we saw on the outside in the game with that knee to the good play.
20:53Double-teamed by the Raiders.
20:54Cover now by Eibar.
20:56Isn't it up to retain in a kickout by Priest?
21:00The War Raiders have Damian Priest right where they want him.
21:04Right out on his back on the wrong side of the tracks.
21:08Looking to exacerbate whatever damage they've already caused.
21:11And Damian Priest is really struggling here.
21:14He's got to get to R-Truth to make a tag.
21:17All that offensive blurry by Priest.
21:20We're not here.
21:21I'll tell you this right now.
21:22The War Raiders love a brutal style of matchup.
21:27However, they would prefer it against somebody who could not absorb this kind of brutality
21:31like Damian Priest can.
21:38And again, Ivar sending Priest back to the corner.
21:42Priest trying to fight out now with a kick and an elbow.
21:44And Priest now with a kick right in the back of the neck.
21:46Drop.
21:47Eric on the apron.
21:49And again, trying to make a tag.
21:50Ivar trying to prevent it.
21:53Dropping those heavyweight shots for the face of Ivar.
21:57Stein to weather the big man here.
22:01Swing and a miss though.
22:03True flat and cheap shot from Ivar.
22:06Man, Ivar with a back elbow to Priest.
22:09And Ivar now up to the second rope.
22:10Priest catches him right on the nose.
22:14Yeah, this is not going to be good for Ivar, man.
22:17I don't care how this one ends.
22:18It's going to be ugly.
22:20Priest!
22:21Heavyweight Hurricane Rana.
22:39Tag!
22:40Tag!
22:40Made by Priest!
22:42Tag!
22:42Tag!
22:43Truth in earth!
22:44The legal man with the triple A tag team tights on the line!
22:49Just when it looked like things were lost for Truth and Priest.
22:53Tag!
22:54Tag!
22:55Tag!
22:57Tag!
22:58Soon as in town!
22:59You're ready!
23:04A little five knuckle shuffle.
23:07Tag to Ivar.
23:09A lot blew up in the face of R-Truth there.
23:11Launching straight into a tag to a fresh around no way.
23:14No chance.
23:15I'm sorry, R-Truth.
23:18Send into the corner.
23:21Truth now!
23:22What a power!
23:25A little attitude adjustment!
23:28Cover!
23:29Oh, and what a knee by Eric.
23:33Well, the timing was excellent.
23:34The precision shot to the jaw was even better.
23:37But here is your reward, Eric.
23:39It's pummeled by the street king.
23:42And Priest now up and down!
23:45It's out!
23:51Eric wants a tag.
23:52I did it!
23:55R-Truth.
23:57Fighting back.
24:00Oh, he's spinning heel kick by Ivar.
24:03Oh, look, Teef.
24:04Teef just got to look straight out of the mouth of R-Truth there.
24:08And now the War Raiders could be closing in on a retention of the titles.
24:13Truth is up!
24:15Truth is down!
24:17Grab the rock!
24:18Right now!
24:19Whoa!
24:20Raiders retain!
24:24Here are your winners.
24:26And stiff!
24:27Triple-A World Tag Team Champion!
24:31The War Raiders!
24:33Well, we promised a war in this one, and we certainly got one.
24:38And that was the War Raiders turning the dial up to 11, Cole.
24:42The War Raiders will defend the Triple-A Tag Titles this coming Sunday here in Mexico City
24:48in an open challenge in a really disappointed Damian Priest and R-Truth.
24:54Well, it's totally good yet.
24:56It was going to rough run for these two in recent weeks.
25:18Well, R-Truth telling Priest on Sally, but hell of an effort by Priest and Truth here tonight.
25:25And, of course, it's frustrating when you do take it out, but you take it in your strike and move
25:31on.
25:31And you try and fix whatever didn't work tonight.
25:39Oh, no!
25:53Why?
25:56Why?
25:57Why?
25:59Why?
26:01Why?
26:02Why?
26:03Why?
26:04Why?
26:05Why?
26:09Why?
26:11Why?
26:13Why?
26:13Why?
26:14Why?
26:17Why?
26:18Why?
26:18Why?
26:20Why?
26:22Why?
26:22Why?
26:24Why?
26:29Why?
26:31Why?
26:32in truth, of course.
26:34Simply run out of tolerance
26:36for all truth.
27:04Charlotte, it was one miscue.
27:06It happens to the best of us.
27:08But now, that means we just have something to work on.
27:10Well, Lexi, we don't have
27:12anything to work on.
27:14And now that we've got a little duo.
27:16You know, she ain't wrong.
27:18And I hate to be the one to break it to you, Alexa,
27:21but you might have more
27:22to work out than what you think.
27:24And not to mention the fact that you and Tatum
27:26just let Charlotte get beat by Jade like that.
27:29That's embarrassing.
27:30I know. Shut it.
27:31Do we have a problem here?
27:33Because I'm not in the mood today.
27:35Yeah, I can see that.
27:37And your mood is only going to get worse.
27:40With money in the bank around the corner,
27:42that briefcase and that contract
27:44is going to be...
27:44You're so silly!
27:46And in case the two of you forgot,
27:50Charlotte and I beat y'all.
27:51So if I were you,
27:53I would hang on to those tag titles
27:55really...
27:56Real tight.
27:57Really tight.
28:00Don't bother.
28:01That little freak
28:02is their problem.
28:04Not ours.
28:05Let's go.
28:06Sure.
28:08Oh, Charlotte,
28:09last weekend,
28:09I hate how that ended,
28:11but I'm here to tell you
28:11I have your back no matter what.
28:13That's what teammates do,
28:13that's what friends...
28:15Tater.
28:16I know I can trust Lexi,
28:18but can I trust you?
28:20Because what happened
28:21at Sunday night's main event,
28:22I'm hoping,
28:23was just a rookie mistake.
28:26Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, no.
28:30Just give her time,
28:31she'll be...
28:33Okay.
28:36Zayn Park is world champion.
28:41Sami Zayn out of the shortest
28:43world championship lane
28:44in nearly five years.
28:47Sami Zayn has been unglut
28:49since losing that championship
28:51too, Sami Zayn Park.
28:52That piece of...
28:53The powers that be around here,
28:55they didn't want Sami Zayn
28:57as WWE champion.
28:59Sami Zayn's lost his mind.
29:00Everyone's happy.
29:01What about me?
29:03What is Sami Zayn doing?

29:19until I get mine!
29:22Sami Zayn,
29:24you don't want this title
29:26half as bad
29:27as I want to break your face

31:40opportunity of his

31:41facing Roman Reigns
31:42for the World
31:43Heavyweight Championship.
31:44What would a win
31:45mean for your family?
31:47You know,
31:47that means a lot.
31:48This weekend,
31:49it's a big deal
31:50for the family.
31:51Tonight was a great
31:52match.
31:53Sunday,
31:53I have to defend
31:54my title
31:54in Triple Mania.
31:56And Monday,
31:57of course,
31:58my brother
31:58become the new
31:59World Heavyweight...
32:03I'm just here
32:03to apologize.
32:05Obviously,
32:05I hate losing
32:07and I shouldn't
32:08have walked away
32:08from you like that,
32:09so you're the
32:10better man.
32:20How did I say?
32:23Oh!
32:24Oh!
32:37But tonight, I'm going to get a win.
32:46What is wrong with him?
32:48Saw losing.
32:49I think she'll be above.
32:52Let this go.
33:05Well, can Sammy Zane finally stop complaining?
33:11He finally gets his rebats with the undefeated WWE Championship tonight.
33:18And he's playing for justice for Sammy.
33:20You missed the entire story.
33:23The story, Michael Cole, in Sammy Zane's mind, is that he has been suffering from injustice.
33:29Hence, the complaints that you're whining about.
33:32He has suffered injustice.
33:34He had the championship stolen from him by CM Punk.
33:38Back in the defense, he should never have his worst debate.
33:41But he's still been giving an adequate chance to win.
33:43Wait a minute.
33:44Back in July, in Chicago, Zane was supposed to take on Cody Roach.
33:48Yeah, and there was a bait and switch in the last century.
33:51It wasn't.
33:51Cody got attacked.
33:52Cody got hurt.
33:53The general manager that Marvis has thrown at the peace in time, he called CM Punk to come on down.
33:58Give you a title shot.
33:59Punk came in.
34:00He had his...
34:01He was behind the eight ball as much as Sammy Zane was.
34:04So no, hold on.
34:05What does Punk do?
34:06He wins the championship.
34:07And Sammy can't stop complaining about it.
34:10That's the way Adam Pearce called CM Punk to say, hey, come on down and have this championship.
34:14It was all this, by the way.
34:15Why didn't he call Sammy Zane too?
34:18Why didn't he say, hey, Sammy Zane?
34:19Just a heads up.
34:20Later on tonight, none of them.
34:23Injustice.
34:38Look at my eyes, what do you see?
34:44I'm so impressed with the reality.
34:49I'm so impressed with the reality.
34:56I'm so impressed with the reality.
34:59Oh, I'm so impressed with the reality.
35:04What do you see?
35:07I'm so impressed with the reality.
35:14I'm so impressed with the reality.
35:16The clock is obscured.
35:19It's time to look at the reality.
35:22The Japanese CF Punk is running to the ring.
35:26It's an interesting one.
35:27Down the left sleeve is the lineage of Lucha Libre in WWE.
35:35Showing the faces or the masks of Rey Mysterio and Dragon League and Rey Fenix and Penta, who meets Roman
35:44Reigns running out on Raw for the world title.
35:46Also across his chest, Wade, it says, oh, computer.
35:52That means executioner in Spanish.
35:55CF Punk told me earlier today, Sammy Zane wants justice.
35:59Well, I'm going to be his judge, his jury, and his executioner here tonight.
36:21The coach has been highly irritated by the actions of Sammy Zane over the past several weeks will now maybe
36:31payback time for the check.
36:38The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it's for the undisputed WWE Championship.
36:48Introducing first the challenger from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, weighing in at 212 pounds, Sammy Zane.
37:02And his opponent from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 218 pounds, he is the undisputed WWE Champion, C.R. Kong!
37:20The official in this match is Dan Angler tonight.
37:23This is the third time these two men have gone one-on-one.
37:27Punk is 2-0 against Zane.
37:28Back in February, he beat Sammy Zane to qualify for the Elimination Chamber.
37:33And, of course, the fateful night in Chicago back on July 6th, when Punk defeated Sammy Zane for the undisputed
37:39WWE title.
37:41Now tonight, over two months later, Sammy Zane finally gets an opportunity at his rematch, and we are underway, and
37:48there's no love lost between these two men.
37:51They're dropping bums right front to off, and Sammy Zane getting the short end of it.
37:56And now Punk unloading on Sammy Zane.
37:59And Punk, now he seemed to come down wrong on his knee, favoring the knee a bit.
38:04Sam Punk now, that took base Suicido, taking out Zane.
38:19I don't know if you noticed, Wade, but Jan Punk could be gingerly getting up on the apron and still
38:25trying to get some feeling back into that left knee that it appeared he tweaked it.
38:29That blow delivered with the knee, obviously bothering Punk.
38:34Yeah, that may be an issue if somebody keep an eye on it.
38:36Punk did come out of the blocks, very, very hot, and sometimes when you do that, your body, despite the
38:42fact you've stretched in the locker room, it's not fully warm.
38:45Jumping off that second row may just have tweaked a little something, and hopefully for Punk's sake, the blood starts
38:51pumping in that knee.
38:52Yeah, he changed up the offense, and went for the right leg.
38:55You notice that the left-hand of Sammy Zane really recoiled there.
39:00He's had that bandage and wrapped up now for a few weeks after suffering a break a little while back,
39:05and certainly got a little something from Punk there.
39:07So both men did pull it from targets on their body.
39:11Zane is extremely aggressive tonight, but he's got to be careful.
39:14Remember, the champion's advantage is the cup.
39:17Zane has to pin or submit the champion.
39:20Disqualifications count-outs do not help Zane.
39:22Now, Sammy Zane is a veteran, but you're right, sometimes when the ring missed to Zane, you start to forget
39:27certain things that are highly important, namely the rule back.
39:35Once again, CM Punk taking a very close look at that left-hand of Sammy Zane.
39:39He's been whining about it for weeks now, and now you're trying to admit that Zane's a whiner.
39:45He's been whining about it all, but...
39:48Sammy's been whining about everything.
39:49He was literally screaming tonight in an earlier interview, Zane, it has to be me.
39:55I have to be champion.
40:03And Punk now, set across the ring, off the reversal by Zane, and a close line now by Sammy.
40:11I mean, you've taught up in your head the years of experience between these two, right?
40:16I mean, combined, they must have in the region of 45 years competing in this industry.
40:23And here they are, thrown down for the biggest prize of them all right here in Mexico City.
40:28Sammy Zane has never recovered over the fact that he only held the WWE title for nine short days.
40:35Until it was stolen from him, Michael Cole.
40:38You keep leaving that part out of the entire story.
40:41Why would I put that in there when I don't believe it?
40:43And Sammy Zane now, on Mount CM Punk.
40:47I find it sort of comical that Sammy finds himself, calls himself the last good guy.
41:00Oh, and it inverted atomic drop by CM Punk.
41:04And Punk now, delivers another.
41:09Sammy Zane is the salt of the earth.
41:12A true working class hero, Michael Cole.
41:15That time you started giving a lot more respect.
41:17I'd call Punk that before I would call Sammy Zane that.
41:22Capacity crowd over 12,000 here tonight.
41:24Watching our main event for the undisputed WWE title.
41:34Jam Punk, Sammy Zane exchanging blows.
41:38Punk's undisputed WWE championship on the line.
41:41First opportunity at a rematch with Sammy Zane tonight.
41:44And again, the knee coming back into play.
41:46Punk tweaked it earlier on in the matchup.
41:47He tried to use it on offense again there, Wade.
41:50And it gave out.
41:51Yeah, that's one of us.
41:52And now look, one point.
41:53I think Sammy Zane finally realized that there's a knee issue with Punk.
41:57It's the first time he picked up on it in this match.
42:00Yeah, Punk's instincts betrayed him there.
42:02He tweaked that knee earlier on, but could not help but throw that left knee into the gutter, Sammy Zane.
42:07That is a standard move to CM Punk.
42:09And sometimes you do things on autopilot without thinking.
42:13When really, he should have gingerly avoided any contact on the knee at all.
42:17The official, Dan Englund, checking with the champion.
42:20Let's see how Punk's really give up, especially with the title on the line.
42:24But, and look at Sammy now attacking the knee right to the back of the knee.
42:28And Punk just buckled, fell to the apron, and he screamed in pain.
42:33Well, you know for CM Punk, in the reverse situation, will do the exact same thing.
42:39And you cannot blame Sammy Zane, despite how biased you are against him, Michael Cole, for utilizing this tactic.
42:45I'm not blaming Sammy Zane.
42:47I completely understand the fact that Punk's hurt, and Zane is going after the injury.
42:51This is classic out of Sammy Zane here.
42:54He needs to do this.
42:55An opportunity, an opening at the championship.
42:58And now exposing the knee, ripping the knee pad down, and now delivering right hands with a heavily taped fist
43:05of Sammy Zane.
43:06Of course, was the knee that Punk hurt in that matchup against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam,
43:12because major issues, managed to get himself through that matchup tonight, though.
43:17Maybe a different story, and things suddenly looking very bleak for CM Punk.
43:20Did the knee come into play in Punk's match against Owens a few weeks back?
43:25I don't believe it did.
43:27The Punk again could be masking, could have been masking the injury.
43:31And now Sammy Zane in the face of the official.
43:34This isn't wise by Sammy, giving CM Punk some time to recover.
43:39Extension of the mindset of Sammy Zane that has been spiraling now for months.
43:44Yeah, the left knee just Punk laying again under Punk.
43:47Punk's going to have to dig down deep in this one.
43:52Distinct disadvantage now for the champion.
43:54I'll tell you what, though, Cole, nobody in the history of this game has ever dug down deeper than CM
43:59Punk
44:00when the chips are down, CM Punk keeps swinging.
44:03And now Punk into a slingy nutcracker for Sammy Zane.
44:08Punk, it would behoove him to end this match quickly here.
44:11I think that's the game plan right now, but the question is,
44:15what maneuvers that Punk utilizes to win matches that he actually pull up in?
44:19Oh, look at that.
44:21Going right after the injury, it's down to Sammy Zane.
44:23Punk uses the go to sleep, which relies on the knee.
44:26Of course, the high knee in the corner.
44:28Leaping off the top row with that elbow jump all requires the knee,
44:31but now he's found a weakness on Sammy Zane.
44:34Mainly that broken left hand that Sammy Zane has had major issues with
44:38and now trying to take perhaps the protective padding off that hand.
44:42Well, you made the point earlier, Wade, that Punk would do the same damn thing to Zane,
44:45and that's what he's doing here.
44:46The champion's trying to rip off the padding that's protecting the once broken wrist of Sammy Zane.
44:54Well, the end justifies the mean.
44:56Let's get Machiavellian in this kind of matchup when a WWE championship is up for grabs.
45:02And now Punk apologize later if you have to.
45:04Looking for the go to sleep.
45:05Oh, it's caught.
45:06Zane caught the leg.
45:08Down goes Punk.
45:09Sammy Zane going to turn it around.
45:12And Punk screaming in agony.
45:14Well, a figure four leg lock synced in deep,
45:18but see a Punk a long way from any ropes there,
45:20and of course, exacerbating that knee issue.
45:23The question is where the figure four attack on Punk
45:26with Sammy Zane with the end of speed of WWE championship.
45:30Punk's got to try to roll in his belly.
45:31And now rolls to the ropes and forces a break,
45:34but Wade has the damage been done.
45:37Brilliant offensive strategy by Sammy Zane.
45:53Well, it appears, Wade,
45:55that CM Punk and all the maneuvering he was doing
45:57with the wrist of Sammy Zane and that protective padding
46:01became too cumbersome, too much of a nuisance for Zane,
46:05who has now ripped that protective padding off.
46:08I mean, it gets to a point when it's been half ripped off.
46:11It's not offering any protection anyway.
46:13You might as well remove the thing.
46:14It's simply hindering your ability to grab your opponent.
46:19And Zane's done exactly that,
46:20but now both men have wounds that are exposed.
46:23Yeah, both men have injured him.
46:25Sammy Zane, the wrist, the knee now of CM Punk,
46:27and both men working on the weaknesses of their opponent.
46:31It's been a great equalizer for CM Punk.
46:33He looked like he was in a real, real bad predicament,
46:36but now I guess the odds are back to even.
46:43Zane taking the fight, the Punk here.
46:48When Zane noticed the injured knee of Punk,
46:50he went right to work.
46:52Exactly what you have to do at this level.
46:56Find the edge.
46:57Find your advantage.
47:00Zane's got to get the control of himself,
47:01or he's going to lose this match.
47:03That's exactly what happened there.
47:05Sammy just letting his tent break out the better of him again,
47:08opening the goal for CM Punk.
47:10And both men just collapse into the ring.
47:12Now, this is a critical moment
47:14where the underspeated WWE title on the line.
47:17Well, what a main event.
47:18Last time we did a main event here on television 15 years ago,
47:22Michael Cole was in the main event.
47:23Well, this one's been a hell of a lot better, right, Cole?
47:26100%.
47:26Meanwhile, here's the deal, Wade.
47:28Whoever wins this match,
47:29they can ill afford a long-term injury
47:31because you've got an entire locker room of guys
47:34who are coming after you for the title.
47:36Names of Orton and Gunther.
47:38And, of course, Finn Balor.
47:40How about Kevin Owens?
47:45Cody Wright isn't too far behind them either.
47:47From what Johnny Gargano had to say to Sammy Zane
47:51a little earlier tonight,
47:52so there is a long list of guys waiting for whoever wins this.
47:56Punk, he took way too much time going to the top rope.
47:59The bad knee did not allow him to catch his balance right away.
48:03And Sammy Zane able to capitalize.
48:12Super punch by Sammy Zane to the champion.
48:16Punk's got a bad knee.
48:18Zane's got a bad wrist.
48:20Something has to give
48:21with the undisputed WWE title on the line.
48:24Let's not forget, here at Altitude in Mexico City,
48:27both men deep in the match now,
48:29running on fumes.
48:31Their bodies must be on fire.
48:33Their muscles hurt
48:34and their brains not working like they used to.
48:36But the championship off the ground,
48:39you have to block it out.
48:41In Mexico City, we're at 7,300 feet.
48:45Punk and Zane battling it out for the WWE title.
48:49Every blow that CM Punk delivers with his lower body
48:53puts him in pain.
48:54Went for the bulldog.
48:55Knee buckled again.
48:56Yeah, you simply have no leverage.
48:58You're holding on to the head,
48:59but you have no jump available to you
49:01with such a bad knee.
49:03And Sammy Zane knew that,
49:04but his hand gave out.
49:05Yeah, he went for the blue thunder bomb,
49:06and he was not able to lift Punk up
49:08because of the bad wrist.
49:09Two wounded men in this match.
49:12This is where it pays to be really quick thinking,
49:14figure out what your body can actually do, right?
49:17Little bit of a go to sleep.
49:18Sammy Zane sends Punk into the corner.
49:20Almost took out the official.
49:21Sammy Zane now able to...
49:27And a gasp from the ride or dies in this arena.
49:32There aren't many of them,
49:33but they thought of a second attempt there
49:37with this blue thunder bomb,
49:39Sammy Zane had got his championship back.
49:42Justice would have prevailed,
49:44but denied by a very game CM Punk.
49:46It is our main event in Mexico City
49:48on Friday Night SmackDown.
49:5012,651 in attendance.
49:53Punk Zane to the undisputed WWE title.
49:56The champion Punk with a bad knee.
49:58The challenger Zane with a bad wrist.
50:00Sammy!
50:01And there's the exploder!
50:02And he has Punk!
50:03He has Punk where he launched it!
50:06Will it be Sammy's night?
50:08Punk has not stood at all.
50:13Sammy Zane positioned it himself
50:16for the hallouba kick.
50:17Oh, the time in the world
50:19to light this one up.
50:20And Punk hits it in a close line.
50:23And Punk's trying to build momentum.
50:26Punk will have gone to sleep
50:28when his knee gave out.
50:29Can he capitalize?
50:31Can he make it into the cover?
50:32Trying to throw his way there.
50:35Well, it feels like a life-time to see.
50:38Punk into the cover!
50:40And there's Zane
50:41that just got the server up
50:43and the match continues.
50:44You're damned if you do.
50:46You're damned if you don't.
50:47For CM Punk in that situation,
50:49you want to throw
50:50the go to sleep,
50:51you do so.
50:52But it's like Thunderbolts
50:54shooting down that bad knee
50:56costing you a quick break.
50:58Yeah, but you've got to put it
50:59out of your mind.
51:00You've got to dig down deep
51:01one more time.
51:06And look who's here.
51:08Johnny Gargano,
51:09Candice LeRae.
51:10Remember,
51:11Gargano wants to say
51:12win because he's going to get
51:13a title opportunity
51:14against Sammy if he's the champ.
51:17From the high!
51:18Sammy Zane!
51:19Scoop!
51:20Punk!
51:21Punk kicks it too!
51:22Almost stole the victory
51:24there without the strikes
51:25above Gargano.
51:26And now Sammy Zane
51:27going to look for a figure
51:28four yet again
51:29on CM Punk.
51:31It sinks deep deep.
51:33Top out!
51:34Go shot!
51:36Top out!
51:36T-M-O!
51:38T-M-O!
51:39T-M-O!
51:40Will Punk top out
51:41for the figure four?
51:43Now the bad wrist is Zane!
51:45Oh, look at Candice LeRae!
51:48Candice LeRae now
51:49up on the apron!
51:50Oh, no!
51:51Put, put,
51:52put strong,
51:52let it go!
51:53He had a couple of ice
51:54and Sammy's top it!
51:55Sammy Zane's top it out
51:56for the other condom ice
51:58but the official
51:59didn't see it.
52:00Punk should have won
52:01the damn match
52:01and now Gargano
52:02with the title.
52:04Again behind the referee's back.
52:06Candice LeRae
52:07still holding the red
52:08and swinging the best.
52:09Gargano's going to pay
52:10for it though
52:10with a goal to sleep
52:12by Punk.
52:14Again hurting
52:15the knee of CM Punk.
52:17Referee

52:23can continue.
