00:00And look who's back home!
00:02Bianca Belair!
00:04Great career.
00:09The front row, she's been dealing with an injury that's had her out of action.
00:13Here on Rocky Top.
00:15And mom and dad.
00:17She's back and don't they love her?
00:24Man, it feels good to be in Knoxville!
00:27Now y'all know I couldn't come to Knoxville without singing good old Rocky Top, right?
00:50And it's not just because it's my hometown, but it's because it's my safe space.
00:54And I got all of y'all that y'all always show up and show out for me.
00:59You know, losing my first WrestleMania match, getting injured, losing my friends along the way.
01:03I just wanted to come right back here to my safe space.
01:06Welcome to Friday Night SmackDown!
01:12Finally!
01:13You finally here on SmackDown!
01:15Naomi, Naomi, this is not the time for this.
01:18This is my hometown, this is not the time for this.
01:22What's happened to us?
01:24What do you want from me?
01:25B, I just want your forgiveness.
01:28I wanna fix it.
01:29I'm trying to fix it and I can't fix it.
01:31I've sent you text messages, voicemails, and you haven't gotten back to me once.
01:36I went through your photo album.
01:38You know the one you got there on the coffee table?
01:40We were best friends and you betrayed my trust.
01:43I promise you what you did to Jade would be nothing compared to what I can do to you.
01:48It wouldn't be good for you and your mama to be in a wheelchair.
01:54I would hate for something bad to happen to you right here and right now.
01:59Well, right here, right now, a storm is on its way to the ring.
02:04Who was thrown through a windshield!
02:07Oh!
02:12Here comes Naomi!
02:13She gets tossed out of the ring.
02:14Plenty on the line between the three of them.
02:16The most emotion-filled of our Money in the Bank qualifiers, Jade, Naomi.
02:24That is what is on the line.
02:25An opportunity to be in the Women's Money in the Bank.
02:28Naomi and Nia Jax as...
02:32Comes in fresher to try to take advantage against Jade Cargill.
02:35Turned into the Naomi show.
02:37She comes charging in with...
02:41And now, full away slam, Jade Cargill!
02:44Then Jade Cargill catching a second wind here, nice!
02:47Hammer attacks and then into the cover.
02:50Was slipping away.
02:52Nice pop-up.
02:53Oh, Samoan drop as Nia.
02:56The same woman, the exact same wife.
02:59She, of course, has had the opportunities.
03:01Oh!
03:03And by Nia Jax!
03:05And somehow, someway...
03:07Opening action.
03:09Money in the Bank qualifier.
03:10Well, in the midst of this Women's Money in the Bank qualifying triple threat match.
03:13Respite for Jade Cargill.
03:15Running center.
03:17Oh, and a squash!
03:19From Jade Cargill.
03:20Oh, a spine buster against...
03:22Jade Cargill showing you the power, but no!
03:26Through a car windshield several months ago.
03:29Jade jaded!
03:31She did it!
03:32And just steamrolling.
03:35Two car crash victims down.
03:38Battle it out!
03:39Oh!
03:40Double cross body!
03:41From Tamo!
03:42Super Samoan drop!
03:44Oh!
03:45And she pushes her off at two point.
03:49What a position you want to be in!
03:51Oh!
03:52Superplex powerbomb!
03:53Oh!
03:54Jade Naomi looking to get shoulders down!
03:58My oh my!
04:01It was squashing time on Jade Cargill.
04:05Game over qualifies for the Women's.
04:08Caution, everybody.
04:09Fifth time that she's made it to Money in the Bank.
04:12Money in the Bank.
04:13You know what I'm saying?
04:14Either I go up...
04:15No.
04:16You're not supposed to ask you for that.
04:17You might embarrass him.
04:18You know what I'm saying?
04:19He won't feel good about it.
04:21Childhood hero beat him.
04:23Now he's talking to little ghosts.
04:25Ain't that pathetic.
04:26Something you want to say to me, dawg?
04:27Man, you crazy touching me?
04:30I've never seen you a day before in my life.
04:32Is this your son, dawg?
04:34I'm not.
04:35Do you mind if I take your husky son to the ring
04:37and teach him a lesson?
04:38How the fuck do I do?
04:39I'm gonna talk to Nick.
04:40Boy, y'all big boned it!
04:46Let's have fun.
04:47You know what I'm saying?
04:48Alright, but let's keep it one, honey.
04:49Y'all can go ahead and have y'all fun.
04:51I got my own business to take care of.
04:53Y'all know what I mean?
04:54You got it on me?
04:55It'll be Cody and John Cena face to face tonight.
05:00What happened on Saturday night?
05:02Was it deliberate?
05:03Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea.
05:04I can't understand a word you're saying.
05:07Nicholas, what happened on Saturday night?
05:08Was it deliberate?
05:09Chelsea, Chelsea.
05:10Look at me while we're having a conversation.
05:12Please.
05:14It was deliberate.
05:15Put on my crooked Zelina!
05:17Okay?
05:18I demand that you strip her of her title
05:20and you suspend her
05:21and you give me the championship.
05:22Chelsea, there's no need to be so ugly about this.
05:24Look, no one's getting stripped.
05:26You can talk about a rematch down the road.
05:28In the meantime, you have to be medically cleared,
05:30so you're just gonna have to wait.
05:31If you're not gonna do something about this,
05:33we will.
05:34Yeah?
05:35Zelina versus Alba!
05:36I actually like the sound of that.
05:37I will make that official right now
05:39if you do one thing for me.
05:40Please leave me alone.
05:44I'm standing by with the WWE Women's Champion,
05:48Tiffany Stratton.
05:49Money in the Bank is right around the corner,
05:51and as we know, you successfully cashed in your own contract.
05:53How are you handling the pressure
05:55of knowing that the same thing could happen to you?
05:58Honestly, Byron, I cannot wait to see who wins Money in the Bank.
06:01Having this title makes me the number one threat in the division,
06:04but so whoever tries to cash in on me
06:06would be making a big mistake.
06:09If you thought Nia was a problem,
06:11you ain't seen nothing yet.
06:13I'm going to win Money in the Bank.
06:16And in case you forgot, little Miss Tiffy,
06:19when I was fighting for the championship,
06:21you stayed in my way.
06:23You wanna know what happened when people play with me?
06:25Just ask Jane.
06:27I wouldn't be too worried about her winning Money in the Bank.
06:32I wouldn't be too worried about her winning Money in the Bank.
06:34I would be worried about me winning Money in the Bank.
06:36Tonight we get Ray Phoenix and Javon Evans.
06:42Making his way to the ring accompanied by Solo Sokoa.
06:49Jacob Batu defeating Jimmy Uso and Ray Phoenix.
06:53Since debuting a major acquisition by Solo after his injuries.
06:58It's not wasting your time, is it?
07:00Back to where it belongs.
07:01Wow, dude.
07:02Not someone you can muscle around the ring.
07:04There's only one man doing the muscling.
07:06Oh!
07:13And he is so explosive.
07:14But this time, R-Truth, smart to get out of the way.
07:16Oh, and he comes in!
07:29Well, R-Truth is tapping into something.
07:32Oh, is he ever!
07:35Moons all around and what a mistake that one's waiting for the same time
07:39Truth a week removed
07:44Collapses down human being
07:46More of the islands
07:48Jay's tail
07:53JC Mateo continued of devastation
07:57Big brother who so long as a color has trained
08:00Oh, Mateo comes right in yelling at JC
08:09There's a master plan for Solvo that he wants
08:12Ready to fight and he doesn't move
08:15He has said it is time to come home before the big champ Angelo Dawkins
08:19Montez scores they are back
08:23Cody Rhodes John Cena face-to-face here in Knoxville later
08:30You better push the cost
08:33We see the smoke and the fire in the field
08:37Montez-Four was climbing up there
08:39Possibly the capital from the heavens
08:41Of sheer chaotic devastation caused by the Wyatt Six
08:48Oh, I love everything about you and what I have too
08:51This tag team division that we are part of
08:54The greatest tag team division
08:57Any promotion
08:58But just like the gorilla fears us
09:00Make no mistake about it
09:02Let's not forget who's leading the charge right now
09:04I mean, hey
09:06We got all these teams coming at us right now
09:09It don't matter who it is
09:10We'll happily defend these tag team championships
09:15The absolute blur that is Fraxia
09:18Huge opportunity was ripped away from them
09:21Crack it up
09:21Crack it up
09:22Well, since you're out here talking about defending those titles
09:26Yeah, me and my amigo here didn't exactly get a fair shake last week, so
09:30Congratulations to you guys
09:31You guys are on the roll
09:32And I guess thanks to the Wyatt's
09:35We will never know
09:36Yeah, yeah, and
09:37The Fraxium and the Street Profits
09:39Should run
09:41It
09:42Back
09:44Okay
09:45Is it the Street Profits never beat you is that right?
09:48Well, let me rack my brain, but
09:51Street Profits, you never beat us
09:54If you're gonna hand out title matches, we'll take one
10:01No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
10:04Didn't you just get here?
10:05Whoa, whoa, whoa
10:06See, I think you just got here
10:08So why don't you do us all a favor and just shut up, Candace
10:11Hey, you shut up idiot, okay?
10:14There's a conspiracy in the tag team division
10:18And now with the Wyatt Six showing up
10:21Forget that he said that, scratch that
10:23Back to business
10:24For the death of the SmackDown tag team division
10:28A moment of silence begins
10:31Oh, no, Wyatt Six
10:38They're here
10:40Rowan
10:42Loomis off the top
10:43Return
10:45Joe Gacy double close line
10:49Powerbomb on top
10:51What is she doing here?

10:55Sister Abigail
10:57Howdy delivers
11:01Santos Escobar
11:08Logado del Fantasma
11:09They are set for action
11:11So happy that joining us here
11:13Ringside
11:13Just off your right hand
11:15Wage time
11:15Winning that title
11:16Of course, the one-time NXT champion as well
11:23Singles action
11:23Way a few weeks ago
11:25We were on the call
11:26Between Logado del Fantasma
11:28And this scintillating luchador
11:30Bouncy
11:35And his tag team partner
11:37Javon Evans
11:39He has dropped jaws at NXT
11:41Voice of NXT
11:42Vic Joseph has been singing this man's praises
11:45Collide in just over a week's time
11:47My home turf
11:49Oh, he came into my home turf to say hello to the new champ
11:51Phoenix off to a good start against Angel
11:53Oh, but the headbutts now here comes
11:56Javon Evans and Birdo
11:58Threat that Obafemi took
12:00Stand and deliver
12:02Now here he is with worlds collide
12:04And then money in the bank
12:05Two, they want to take back control of the world
12:08And lose your world
12:09Ron, indeed
12:11Javon Evans
12:12Road to travel on
12:14And it's led me to a lot of success
12:16And Birdo able to get that shoulder up
12:19This champ Ethan Page next to me
12:21Who's joined us for commentary
12:23It's a fatal four-way match
12:24Javon Evans who's in there right now taking damage
12:27Give some credit to Javon Evans there
12:30And once again Santos Escobar perhaps
12:34Oh
12:36I mean inches
12:37It's just a matter of inches
12:38But what effort Ethan
12:39Oh every inch matters
12:41If this tag finally happens
12:43Both men down
12:44Springboard
12:47And a stomp
12:48And now the kick attack
12:50You have to look forward to a week from tomorrow
12:52Oh
12:53A step up Hurricane Rana
12:55The scout
12:55Oh
12:56Oh the doubles
12:59And the save
13:00It looks to throw Phoenix
13:01Oh it's a blind tag right there
13:03As he spins out
13:04It's Javon Evans
13:05Oh
13:06Oh did you see
13:08Look at the body control
13:09And then sitting out
13:10And looking to put her away right here
13:12But Evans finds a way
13:13Angel just about overcoming that unorthodox
13:18It's gonna fly
13:20Oh my
13:22Come over here
13:23You looking at the champ
13:25He says this is his hand
13:27Worlds collide right there
13:28Ethan Page out of his
13:30To fit
13:30Wait
13:30Oh no
13:31Ethan Page
13:32Sends him over
13:33Our announce desk
13:35Oh and he eats
13:35A huge super kick
13:37Too fast is Javon Evans
13:39Fred Dunn
13:40Oh what is Page doing
13:42A distraction referee
13:43Did not say a thing
13:45What in the world is Ethan Page
13:46He was minding his own business
13:48M.T.Y
13:49T-R-E-O-Y
13:51T-R-E-O-Y
13:52T-R-E-O-Y
13:53Floating
13:54Ethan Page
13:55What an honor
13:55That young man
13:57Came up here
13:58And put forth an incredible effort
14:00We won't stop
14:05We won't stop
14:07Not till we get
14:08Hitting a cold red off the top rope
14:15One of the big moments from Saturday night's main event
14:17That's how the United States Champion
14:18A woman has been disfigured
14:21Thanks to our United States Champion
14:23Joe I've just had a quick scan on social media
14:26Thank you very much Chelsea
14:27Wow you hold it in front of your face
14:30And look here's the deal when it comes to the secret herb
14:33It's the breathing apparatus of an entertainment
14:36Non-title match here
14:37Zelina of course the undersized
14:39Trying to go for the sidewalk
14:40Slam instead counter into the head scissor
14:42But she is undersized
14:43Looks like her
14:44Of course
14:47Another opportunity for Zelina
14:50Handing L after L after L
14:52Well that has to stop tonight
14:55Turning it right around into that corner
14:56And slamming Zelina Vega
14:58Alba Fire
15:01Dicks and it's tactics
15:03That are paying off
15:04And like that
15:07Oh
15:07Chelsea's up on the apron
15:09She's lined up potentially
15:10It's up on the apron
15:11Well Chelsea has a make up
15:12And then Piper trips her up
15:14There you go
15:15Champion in there against Alba Fire
15:17After that woman right there
15:18I demand I get my championship back
15:20Find a way to fight back
15:21Like moments like that way
15:23This audience is just taunting Chelsea Green
15:26Land that elbow
15:29And now the big boot
15:30Well Vega can scramble like no other
15:32And she's built up a major head of steam here
15:35Titleist
15:37Comes in
15:38When it comes to Zelina Vega
15:41Punishment to this point
15:43She comes flying into the corner
15:45And delivers the knees
15:46Big ideas here
15:50Hooks the leg
15:53And the kick out
15:54She threw the big one
15:55But it wasn't quite enough
15:57Looking for the moonsault
15:58But Alba rolls out of the way
16:00Fire
16:01Wonton bomb
16:02This looks like it's over
16:05How in the world did Vega find a way out of that
16:08And now find herself majorly on the wrong side of the trash
16:11Oh my god
16:13Oh she tried to use the mask as a weapon
16:16There's a nose to match
16:19And now chasing
16:21Code red
16:23We got a code
16:24She did it again
16:27Well Chelsea Green has a broken nose
16:30Now Piper Niven has a broken nose
16:32An absolute disgrace once again from Zelina Vega
16:37We're gonna follow the plan
16:38If you follow the plan
16:39We will win
16:40No mistakes
16:42Do you?
16:43I seem to be taking Black Mass after Black Mass after Black Mass
16:46Sacrificing myself for you
16:48I've done it twice
16:49I've won
16:49I've succeeded
16:50We are Mr. Money in the Bank
16:53We go on
16:54You mean we
16:55Who do you think got you in this position?
16:58I did
16:59Look Mike
16:59I appreciate everything you're trying to do for me
17:01Taking the Black Mass multiple times
17:03Helping me win
17:04The honor of the giant battle royal
17:06I'm gonna run the play
17:07Exactly like we designed it
17:08But what brought me to the dance
17:10Is my talent
17:11It's the fact that I go out there
17:12And I do it better than anybody else does
17:14I put up 40 points on the board
17:16On a bad day
17:17I'm him
17:18And I need for you to let me be
17:21Him
17:22You good?
17:22All right
17:23Let's do the thing man
17:24What is it?
17:25Melodon Miz and we are
17:27What's next for Priest?
17:29We will hear from him live
17:30I'm the best
17:32Throughout my entire career
17:35Even back when I started in Japan
17:37It's not to be the best
17:40My goal is to be
17:42Indisputable
17:43But I'm impossible to deny
17:46Evidence you cannot refute
17:50The question isn't who's going to let me
17:54Who's gonna stop me?
17:56If you want to stop me
18:06I see you as a leader
18:07But I see
18:08That title
18:10More
18:19Wait I think about this stretch
18:21that Priest has been on
18:22From the pride of Puerto Rico himself
18:25Ever since
18:26I beat Drew on Saturday
18:28It's like I'm breathing in fresh air
18:30Where if I lived on a street
18:31And we were beefing with another street
18:33But in WWE
18:34You have a beef with somebody
18:36You have a match and it's over
18:37Well over a year
18:38And that's not normal
18:40You can see it in my face
18:42We went to war
18:43I gave him a concerto
18:44I walked out the door
18:46I know Drew is somewhere
18:48Recovering from his scrambled brains
18:50So I want to say something to you Drew
18:53I still can't stand your ass
18:55That was the old Drew
18:56The warrior
18:57And I appreciate that
18:59But that doesn't mean
18:59I don't have my eyes on a certain champion
19:02And a champion that I consider
19:04The most badass champion right now
19:06Jacob Fatu
19:07I know where you came from
19:12I know what you had to live through
19:14Real talk
19:15I'm proud of you
19:16Congratulations
19:18That's real
19:18What I don't respect is the crew that follows you around
19:23At some point you and I are going to get in this ring
19:25We're going to handle business
19:26But that's for you and me
19:27Your so-called family want to get involved
19:30They could catch a fresh one too
19:31Damien Priest is
19:33And forever will be
19:35El Campeon
19:36The U.S. champ Jacob Fatu
19:53Or wait as we often know
19:55Jacob Fatu
20:01Andrade
20:03Former United States champion himself in there
20:06Carmelo Hayes
20:10And now with Trey
20:12The 10-count gold medallion
20:14What a benevolent mentor the Miz is
20:17Never thought I'd say those
20:18Give up the spot
20:19The Money in the Bank
20:20Distraction
20:20Qualifying
20:21On Jacob Fatu
20:22All right
20:23So here's the deal here
20:24We've got four of the spots
20:26Fall in line behind
20:27Spark early out of Andrade
20:29In there against
20:30With his ring general shift
20:32Cross body
20:33Conclusion to it
20:34Maybe we'll get one tonight
20:37When he does that shake and shimmer
20:39You know
20:39Oh
20:40Gonna go over well
20:41Hangs on to it
20:43How many times has the Miz
20:44Oh
20:47Meanwhile Andrade
20:48That's a problem
20:49Oh
20:50Andrade came diving after Fatu
20:53May end right now
20:55Watch out
20:55Watch out
20:57Triple threat match
20:58Jacob Fatu on the attack
21:00And Carmelo Hayes
21:02Carmelo was trying to hold Andrade
21:04Of Solo Sokoa when you consider
21:09Get there right now
21:10It would be a massive statement
21:12Keep in mind
21:13When the Miz was out here to support him
21:15Tension so no advantage
21:17It's Carmelo
21:17Off the rope
21:19But the senton from Batu comes in
21:21Jump up
21:22Moonsault
21:23Opportunity is thwarted by Andrade
21:25Moonsault attempt
21:27Doubles it up and
21:27And right at the last second
21:31Been awesome in this triple threat
21:34In L.A.
21:34It's a 7 p.m. Eastern start time
21:37Streaming on Peacock
21:38Boom points and run around the top of the head
21:43Andrade bringing him back out to the floor
21:46In 2024 the intentional 7 match series
21:49Here it comes
21:51Here it comes
21:51Fatu
21:52Oh
21:53Collision I have ever witnessed
21:56Fatu has barely moved since
21:59From Los Angeles
22:00And if you are either one of these two left in the ring
22:03Carmelo up in position
22:05But quick to get to his feet
22:06You cannot pick a victor even from here
22:10Oh no of course
22:11Fatu's back up somehow
22:12Oh
22:13Do this time and again
22:15Fatu
22:17Money in the bank
22:18And Andrade breaks it up
22:20You gotta give everything
22:22Tries to fight back
22:23And that spinning back elbow
22:25Shoulders are down
22:26That was a double pin
22:27Who would have won?
22:29Look at the entryway
22:31Solo Sokoa
22:33Provide a little assistance to Jacob Fatu
22:35Springboard for Melo looking for the win
22:37Looking for the Samoan drop
22:39But he hits it on Andrade
22:41Moonsault
22:43Melo
22:44Right here
22:45Andrade
22:47At the last
22:48The 8 by Melo
22:50That's spinning
22:53The implant
22:54DDT to just tossing Melo into the corner
22:59And now delivering
23:02And again
23:04Double jump moonsault
23:05He lands it but solo
23:09Power of a competitor
23:12One more
23:14Look who's here
23:18Oh no
23:18Delivering the message
23:20Oh
23:21Andrade delivered the message
23:23One week from tomorrow
23:26Five spots now filled
23:27This is going to take a major act of diplomacy from Solo Sokoa
23:32My next guest has punched
23:34My god
23:35What is it with punching tickets around here
23:37Everybody talks about punching tickets
23:38I guess I punched my ticket to money in the bank
23:41It's only eight days away
23:42Uh what's his name
23:43Seth Rollins
23:43It's Solo Sokoa
23:45And everybody's going to be climbing that ladder
23:47Trying to get it
23:47Putting everything on the line that they can
23:49Now if this is a one-on-one match
23:50And I'd say I'm going to run up there
23:52Grab that case
23:53And I'm going to cash it in
23:54This is my third year in a row now
23:55So I understand what this is
23:57Three years in a row now
23:57You're talking about the most robust
23:59And the most recent experience
24:01Maybe even my present
24:02Why don't you go ahead and punch that ticket
24:04But while we're talking about
24:05What's up my man
24:08That one was partially mine
24:12You're welcome though
24:14Face to face with John Cena
24:16That's next
24:19Come on win
24:19I was just trying to help
24:31For the last time
24:32I do not need your help
24:44To take on John Cena and Logan Paul
24:48Cody Rhodes
25:14What do you want to talk about
25:16That we could talk about
25:17The record crowd here this evening
25:22We can talk about Wrestlemania 41
25:24I had a doubtful moment
25:26And I reached out to a friend
25:28With everything that you faced here
25:30That was a silver lining on a dark cloud
25:33And I started to think
25:34AJ Styles feigning retirement
25:37I thought about the final boss
25:40I thought about the final boss
25:41Asking me for my soul
25:44And I also thought about John Cena
25:53Doing exactly what he said
25:55He was going to do
25:57I don't know if John Cena is going to ruin
26:01Professional wrestling
26:02But if he does
26:03Then I'm partially to blame
26:05That I will never hesitate with you again
26:10And it's going to burn your ass up
26:14I'm sorry
26:15Guys it's my first night back on Smackdown

27:11Nothing more than a John Cena wannabe want to be me so bad. It makes me sick
27:17You are too desperate and you are too lazy
27:33Hey, yo Logan Paul is paying your mortgage
27:37Speaks the language of Logan Paul and that is the truth you stupid stupid simple
27:49Tennessee people this is a moment in history that John Cena stood side-by-side in the ring with Logan Paul
27:58Yeah, yeah, you people are ungrateful. There is one problem though
28:03Although this does seem too perfect. The problem is I should be standing next to the WWE champion as a
28:14WWE champion you got lucky. You know it
28:16I know it cuz you two cheaters can't do a single thing in this business without it being handed to you
