00:00:00Together.
00:00:10This is the start of what will be an epic WWE weekend.
00:00:14We've arrived in Southern California.
00:00:16That's the spectacular Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
00:00:20Tomorrow, it will host Money in the Bank,
00:00:23a card filled with all-time legends and rising superstars.
00:00:28As for now, we're just a couple hours north in Bakersfield,
00:00:32where so much is to be determined and revealed here on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:00:37The Dignity Health Arena is packed.
00:00:40With a PLE weekend upon us, there's major overlap from both rosters,
00:00:47and these fans are psyched for it.
00:00:50The American Nightmare is here in Bakersfield.
00:00:54Cody Rhodes.
00:00:56He recently returned to confront John Cena and to even the odds for Jey Uso.
00:01:01Rhodes and Jey will have their final words tonight with the Undisputed Champ and Logan Paul,
00:01:06the night before the showdown.
00:01:09Plus, Mommy's always on top.
00:01:11Rhea Ripley is leading the way for an impressive attendance display of talent.
00:01:15She's just one of the Women's Money in the Bank competitors here tonight.
00:01:19Also arriving in Bakersfield is Alexa Bliss.
00:01:24Can she find the briefcase within her grasp again?
00:01:28And the rising can't-miss superstar, Stephanie Bacare, making her way to the SmackDown locker room.
00:01:36She's wowed us every step of the way so far, but they are not alone.
00:01:41Every participant in tomorrow's ladder match has decided to come to SmackDown, so proceed with caution.
00:01:47Naomi's in town.
00:01:50And she's going to team up with the newest member of the women's locker room.
00:01:54The undeniably talented and dangerous Julia has arrived.
00:01:59And rounding out a six-woman tag team match, the prodigy, Roxanne Perez.
00:02:06They're all in the ring the night before they battled it out in Los Angeles.
00:02:17The menacing forces that have altered the landscape of Monday Night Raw and now are here on SmackDown.
00:02:26Seth Rollins has been on a path of a master plan since his WrestleMania twisted turn alliance with Paul Heyman.
00:02:35Braun Breaker and now Big Bronson Reed.
00:03:05Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, accompanied by WWE Hall of Famer, the wise man, Paul Heyman.
00:03:21Braun Breaker, Bronson Reed, Seth Brinkin' Rollins!
00:03:30Listen to this roar here in Bakersfield.
00:03:32Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett with you, Rickside.
00:03:34Wade Seth in the eyes of many, the main force to be dealt with tomorrow in Men's Money in the Bank ladder match.
00:03:39Yeah, massive 24 hours for this man and five others.
00:03:44Solo Ciccola, El Grande Americano, Penta, Andrade and of course LA Knight.
00:03:52Yeah, that is going to decide the trajectory of one of these men's immediate career.
00:03:59who will grab the briefcase in the men's Money in the Bank ladder match streaming live tomorrow on Pico.
00:04:06on Pico.
00:05:37I take everything.
00:05:40When I win the Money in the Bank contract, I will have absolute power.
00:05:58I will have total control over this entire industry.
00:06:04I don't think he can hear you.
00:06:31He's off on the island of irrelevancy, where we put him after WrestleMania.
00:06:39Now, that absolute power, that total control, that doesn't just extend to Raw.
00:06:52No, that includes SmackDown as well.
00:06:55And so we have come here to deliver a message.
00:07:01Anyone, anyone who stands in our way will suffer the same fate as anyone who has already stood in our way.
00:07:12Sami Zayn stood in our way.
00:07:20He's in the dirt.
00:07:22CM Punk stood in our way.
00:07:26Poof, gone.
00:07:29Roman Reigns stood in our way.
00:07:39And he is missing in action.
00:07:45Roman Reigns is not coming to save you.
00:07:48Roman Reigns doesn't care about you.
00:07:51Roman Reigns has never cared about you.
00:07:55But you know who has, you know who has, Seth freaking Rollins.
00:08:07And I will drag all of you kicking and screaming, if I have to, into the future.
00:08:16Because that's what I do.
00:08:18It's what I do.
00:08:20Not just for me.
00:08:21Not just for us.
00:08:23For the entire industry.
00:08:25And there is nobody, nobody who can stop me.
00:08:43But maybe there's somebody willing to try here on SmackDown.
00:08:47Raw's power trio.
00:08:51Say hello to SmackDown's power trio.
00:08:55Solo Sokoa.
00:08:57The US champion, Jacob Fatu.
00:08:59And the newest addition to beef up Solo's family interest.
00:09:04The powerhouse, JC Mateo.
00:09:06But I assure you, Solo Sokoa has the exact same intentions as Seth freaking Rollins does tomorrow night at Money in the Bank.
00:09:18Namely, grabbing that briefcase and the contract held therein.
00:09:24Solo and Seth, less than 24 hours away.
00:09:28Paul Heyman's looking rather nervous.
00:09:32So much history between Heyman and Solo Sokoa.
00:09:36Very little of it positive.
00:09:39He's got one foot out the back door.
00:09:41He's got one foot out the back door.
00:09:42I'll move him forward again at all.
00:09:46Wow.
00:09:47Oh, I have been told of the pain.
00:09:49You should not step into my lane.
00:09:50Do that.
00:09:51Oh, God.
00:09:53Oh, God.
00:09:54Oh, God.
00:09:56Oh, God.

00:10:47well seth by the looks of it uh looks like you got yourself a little bloodline here going on huh
00:10:58who are you supposed to be right hand man jay usso
00:11:03and you
00:11:14who are you supposed to be the honorary you sammy zane
00:11:18after everything we've been through we went to war together at war games
00:11:25and now you no call and all of a sudden you show up and team up with this guy
00:11:31oh
00:11:34and you got yourself a wise man speaking of wise man long time no see
00:11:42choose your next words very carefully
00:11:55all right let's go to the chase all i know is tomorrow night i'm climbing the ladder i'm grabbing that contract
00:12:09and all that power and control that you say you talk about
00:12:15it'll all
00:12:17be
00:12:18minds
00:12:20i see solo this is your turf you feel threatened you want to come push back are you threatened because brawn breaker
00:12:35is the future of this industry and you're not
00:12:44are you threatened because big bronson reed could squish you like a bug at the snap of my fingers
00:12:55you should be threatened man but what you should really be worried about is the fact that
00:13:03your own family would rather stab you in the back than have your back
00:13:09what's up jacob
00:13:19you look like you look like you want to say something
00:13:24come on take the mic from solo you're gonna let solo talk to you
00:13:28man shut up man all right i see what you're trying to do
00:13:31no no no shut your mouth set it ain't gonna work
00:13:33look i'm just saying he's a samoan werewolf i was thinking
00:13:37we could come up with a new nickname for him like maybe uh solo's bitch
00:13:42no no no no no no hey hey hey hey
00:13:54and all seriousness solo took a lot of courage a lot of guts for you to walk out of here
00:14:00and talk to me the way you are i gotta be honest with you you're threatened by us
00:14:05i'm threatened just a little bit by one fatu in this ring but it ain't you
00:14:13i'm not done with words
00:14:27oh man
00:14:29i'm hurt you're stepping in
00:14:30oh man
00:14:44oh and stuff
00:14:48yeah
00:14:53Seth calling him off, but Breaker a little hesitant to break that base off with Fatou.
00:15:19Brom Breaker lacks the ability to flinch, but perhaps smartly ahead of Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins taking himself and his men out of danger.
00:15:31Tensions were rising about as high as they could go without coming to blows in the sight of those two together.
00:15:42Oh! Jimmy Uso! He is clearing house!
00:15:47While waiting for that distraction, Jimmy Uso, who has had major problems with Solo Sokoa's crew of late, striking at exactly the right moment.
00:15:59Big brother. Jimmy Uso is here. What a way to start the weekend. And we've got Jimmy Uso against J.C. Mateo next.
00:16:08And it hits him! Move it back!
00:16:12Tomorrow, the groundbreaking spectacle is here.
00:16:22When the superstars of AAA and WWE flash in a one-of-a-kind event, the future flies here.
00:16:35WWE World...
00:16:38Bakersfield, California.
00:16:44As moments ago, Jimmy Uso entered the fray and cleared out the ring.
00:16:52J.C. Mateo awaits as his opponent.
00:16:55In recent weeks, it has been little brother Solo Sokoa, who has been trying to convince Jimmy, trying to recruit Jimmy, to join up with them.
00:17:09J.C. Mateo has had zero interest whatsoever. Major problems with Solo Sokoa over the past 12 months, and Jimmy is not ready to forget any of that.
00:17:19J.C. Mateo, yes.
00:17:20J.C. Mateo, yes.
00:17:21J.C. Mateo, yes.
00:17:22J.C. Mateo, yes.
00:17:23J.C. Mateo, yes.
00:17:24So now the new kid in town, the powerhouse, J.C. Mateo, prepares for action the night before Money in the Bank, which is two hours north in Bakersfield, California.
00:17:36That heated exchange that opened up our evening with Seth Rollins declaring that come tomorrow, I'll have total control over this entire industry, and Solo and company came out to meet him.
00:17:47And I'm beginning to question that attack by Jimmy Uso, it clearly did not damage J.C. Mateo to a significant amount, perhaps just irritated the relative newcomer to SmackDown, and Jimmy may end up paying the price for that.
00:18:04Wait, I'm curious, it's been a few weeks now where we've been broadcasting the matches of J.C. Mateo. What has impressed you the most with him?
00:18:12Well, he looks to have very little in the way of weakness, just a human battering ram, some girth, some power, and with the guidance of Solo Sokoa, there's really no limits to where J.C. Mateo can go here on SmackDown.
00:18:27Jimmy getting a little frustrated that he won't engage early on.
00:18:30And I'll tell you right now, J.C. Mateo has absolutely no fear of Jimmy Uso whatsoever, it's that frustration that Mateo is trying to sew in the early goings here, presumably at the direction of the mastermind on the outside, Solo Sokoa.
00:18:44Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:18:48And the annoyance is now written on the face of Jimmy Uso, who came here to fight.
00:18:56Well, pump the brakes on that one, we do it on J.C. Mateo's clock.
00:19:09J.C. up on the apron, looking like he's finally ready to engage.
00:19:18Oh, and as soon as Solo grabs the attention of his big brother, that's when J.C. goes on the attack.
00:19:26Well, it's the numbers game, that is exactly what Solo Sokoa, despite the name Solo, has been all about since arriving here.
00:19:36On SmackDown, and still, the talk continues with Jimmy.
00:19:39Come on, J.C.!
00:19:48We are underway here in Bakersteele, the sold-out Dignity Health Arena, as we start the evening with Jimmy Uso facing off with J.C. Mateo, the former Olympian, the new powerhouse to the SmackDown roster.
00:20:12Well, Jimmy Uso last week prevented Mateo and crew.
00:20:19Launching a beatdown after Mateo's victory.
00:20:23It's after many weeks of issues between Jimmy Uso and Solo's crew.
00:20:28You go back a few weeks ago to the Money in the Bank qualifier when Solo Sokoa was able to get past Jimmy Uso and Ray Phoenix.
00:20:36And Jacob Fatu and J.C. Mateo made their presence felt ringside during that.
00:20:41And then two weeks ago, a tag team did the crossbody from up top from Big Jim into the cover and a quick kickout by Mateo.
00:20:48But a couple weeks ago, Mateo and Fatu combined for the tag team victory over Uso and Phoenix.
00:20:55And it was Solo Sokoa who played a distracted role ringside then.
00:21:00Well, talking about Money in the Bank qualifiers, how about Solo and J.C. inadvertently costing Jacob Fatu a spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match last week.
00:21:11Major tensions between that trio, although they appear, for now at least, to have been smoothed over.
00:21:17Tomorrow is the day.
00:21:18Money in the Bank from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
00:21:21It'll be a 4 o'clock local start here in Southern California.
00:21:247 p.m. streaming on Peacock.
00:21:26Earlier in the day on YouTube is the very exciting Worlds Collide from the Key of Four.
00:21:31Look at that, man.
00:21:32Look at that, man.
00:21:34Look at that, man.
00:21:35Hey, boy.
00:21:36You still come back, okay?
00:21:37It ain't too late, Jimmy.
00:21:38And you hear Solo.
00:21:39All you gotta do is come back.
00:21:40You wanna get your ass kicked?
00:21:42Once again, saying you can still come back as Jimmy's been constantly rejecting Wade, the recruitment by his little brother.
00:21:49Well, I'll tell you right now, inarguably, Jimmy Uso, to me, has been floundering of late.
00:21:54He's been lacking career direction.
00:21:57It may be distasteful to him to relink up with little brother Solo Sokoa.
00:22:02However, it must be a tempting offer.
00:22:04Your opportunity to get back to the very top of the card with this group.
00:22:09Solo is handing olive branch after olive branch and, as yet, falling on deaf ears.
00:22:15Yeah, and you and I got to spend some time with Jimmy earlier today.
00:22:18And I'm sure you feel the way I do, that he's not bashful about expressing that and understanding the realities of where he is in his career arc.
00:22:25He knows full well.
00:22:26Look, this is a guy, Jimmy Uso, who is one half of the greatest tag team of all time, a WrestleMania main eventer.
00:22:34And lately, he's been just grabbing random opportunities, tagging up with random people, whoever it is, to try and get a little traction in his career.
00:22:42And very little, to me, has been working at the level most of us expect from Jimmy Uso.
00:22:48And meanwhile, in there, against this powerful, strong, compact, explosive J.C. Mateo.
00:22:58And it's just been too easy so far for J.C. Mateo, who, yes, is big, strong, and powerful.
00:23:04But really, it's the distractions on the outside that have given J.C. Mateo repeated opportunities to dominate this.
00:23:11But, of course, Jimmy now, attempting to turn things around.
00:23:16Yeah, smart to get out of the way, lands the uppercut, and now he's got him lined up.
00:23:20Big Jim!
00:23:24Big Jim going for broke.
00:23:26It's highly effective, but you've got to be concerned about the proximity to Fatou and Solo Sokoa.
00:23:33What are you doing?
00:23:35We took back and broke his arm.
00:23:38Hey!
00:23:39Where are you?
00:23:40We won!
00:23:42The drooling on one side, and that dangerous stare of Fatou on the other.
00:23:46Fatou's just a constant threat.
00:23:48I don't care what Solo Sokoa says.
00:23:50Jacob Fatou is not a controllable human being.
00:23:56Look at that for a man with a body type and size of Mateo to get up and land that dropkick.
00:24:01Wait, you see the look on the face of Jimmy Uso as he fell hard to the floor.
00:24:17Love counted three separate distractions at this point on the outside from Fatou and Solo Sokoa.
00:24:24Jimmy Uso.
00:24:25Jimmy Uso.
00:24:25Every time he gets a little bit of momentum, it is shut down by that man in red.
00:24:31One, two, three, three, four, four, five, five, five.
00:24:41Slamming his head down right off that apron.
00:24:44Very rigid, hard edge with the ring apron.
00:24:46It's just a slow, methodical breakdown of a human being by J.C. Mateo who, aside from brief glimpses in this match, it's been total control and total domination.
00:25:01You watch it! You watch it!
00:25:04Well-raveled J.C. Mateo.
00:25:07Some championships all over the world.
00:25:11Multiple promotions, and he has made his presence felt here on SmackDown immediately.
00:25:16Yeah, Jake, look!
00:25:19It's not nice, huh?
00:25:21It's not nice, man, you ass kicked, baby?
00:25:23Come back to him!
00:25:25Constant conversations that have been going on for weeks between the two brothers.
00:25:31And the pitch must never sound more appealing than when you're under the boots of J.C. Mateo.
00:25:39You see Mateo looks over to Solo as he comes flying in with a hip attack that just whiplash sent that neck back.
00:25:46What's Jimmy Uso?
00:25:48The message from Solo is clear.
00:25:50Hey, you can come back!
00:25:52You can come back!
00:25:55Just say the word, and the pain and the punishment stop immediately.
00:26:00Come back into the fold, Jimmy.
00:26:03Hey, it's not easy.
00:26:07For Big Jim!
00:26:13For Big Jim!
00:26:22Well, looking to rally support for Big Jim.
00:26:26He has been struggling against J.C. Mateo.
00:26:29when we talk about second wins at this point jimmy uto must be on his fourth win because
00:26:35wins one two and three were shut down by distractions and of course
00:26:39give jc mateo an opening he's gonna shut you down immediately
00:26:45he's done check him check him
00:26:59loving what he's seen from one third of his army that he's rebuilt here on smackdown
00:27:05what's up with this one
00:27:10wow so much of course in the men's money bank ladder match
00:27:14just two hours down in la
00:27:15jimmy uto looking to rally here against jc mateo
00:27:27the night before money in the bank a money in the bank competition that
00:27:31jimmy was hoping to be in but it was jc
00:27:33mateo and jacob fatu who helped solo sokoa earn that spot
00:27:38the athleticism of jc mateo for his size you just marvel at
00:27:43the power the explosivity that jc mateo holds in those boots a guy this big a guy this wide should
00:27:54never be allowed to pull off a move like that that was simone byles-esque
00:27:58you want to come back
00:28:00are you done
00:28:01jc kick his ass he's not done yet
00:28:03time and time again throughout this match throughout recent weeks solo sokoa has made the offer
00:28:09jim you can come back do you want to come back do you want to join up
00:28:13time and time again the offer's been rejected and thus the punishment continues
00:28:17this does not appear to be about beating jimmy uto tonight
00:28:21it appears to be about torturing jimmy uto to convince him to re-enter solo's grunt
00:28:29oh big jim samoa drop that is a lot of power still left inside big jim uto
00:28:39was that enough to create the opening
00:28:51created some distance that's the first part of it
00:28:55but big jim now tapping into this energy from this
00:28:59loyal band of supporters here in bakersfield california
00:29:03right uppercut
00:29:04trying to come back is mateo
00:29:07uso tried to get him up again for that samoa drop
00:29:10but instead gets caught
00:29:11little two big is jc mateo
00:29:14still on his feet that is astounding from the big man
00:29:19really is just lines as if somebody ringside doesn't a big chop from uso
00:29:24just absorbing punishment and staying in the fight
00:29:28and this time mateo comes in and eats a big elbow
00:29:34jimmy gets the best of it
00:29:39and the kick out at two
00:29:42yeah this deep into a matchup this beat up this
00:29:46exhaustive pulling out that uso in the wind and connecting with jc mateo
00:29:52just close to show you you cannot write big jim uto off
00:29:56great scene here a sold out dignity health arena
00:30:01the start of what should be an epic weekend here in southern california
00:30:05worlds collide money in the bank tomorrow in la
00:30:07mateo just catches him
00:30:10trying to break free
00:30:13it has been a tough battle for him from the start
00:30:17capable of generating so much torque so much momentum
00:30:25looking to finish it here
00:30:26barely and i mean barely getting that right shoulder up
00:30:30all right we're okay you hear me we're all right we're good we're good
00:30:35still playing the diplomat on the outside to jacob fatu is solo sokoa
00:30:39burning a hole right through out on if it's jimmy usso or jc mateo
00:30:45super kick right under the chin
00:30:49and another the big man's wobbling
00:30:55great opportunity for big jim
00:30:59but a lot of distance he needs to cover though
00:31:03we all know what he's going for
00:31:04solo sokoa of course he doesn't that's exactly why he's on the apron
00:31:09and so is fatu
00:31:14as he's squared up with jacob now
00:31:19oh oh a robot a robot
00:31:28here is your winner
00:31:31jimmy
00:31:36well that didn't go as planned between jc
00:31:39and jacob did it well quick thinking jimmy usso pulls out the wind but
00:31:45that collision between mateo and jacob fatu
00:31:53the discord between the two big men
00:31:57once again solo sokoa needs to pull out some major diplomacy
00:32:02before these two exploded each other

00:35:09you can feel it in the air here in california
00:35:35money in the bank weekend has arrived
00:35:47and her opponent from queens new york she is the women's united states champion
00:35:56selena vega
00:36:03she has been that u.s champ for 42 days and it has been a great display of gritty performances and
00:36:11constantly countering bigger opponents surprising rivals coming up with comeback wins 42 days with the
00:36:17title most recently defeating albafire a week ago retaining against chelsea that was when she broke her
00:36:23nose at sarah knight's main event yeah some great stats for selena vega in recent wakes but this is a
00:36:31baker's field brawl and the odds massively go in the favor of the powerhouse piper nivin right now
00:36:39it all comes crashing down for selena vega tonight of course piper knows selena very well what she's
00:36:47dealing with she's been on a tear against chelsea green and the secret purpose actually she's won seven
00:36:52of her last eight and four of six have come against chelsea green well i gotta be honest with you i saw
00:36:58the entrance of chelsea green in the secret hervis you've got the nose mask for chelsea's broken nose
00:37:03you had piper nivin coming out in highly unprofessional sunglasses and then you've got the tie of albafire which is
00:37:11incredibly loose and i've got to tell you it looks to me like the secret hervis are just crushing out at
00:37:16the moment thanks to the success of vega oh the kendo this vega is so slippery always has a trick
00:37:25of her sleeve and is week by week humiliating the likes of piper nivin and the secret hervis remember
00:37:32street fight rules here in a baker's field brawl no dqs no countouts they're going at it here
00:37:39zelena and piper yeah do whatever you like it's all perfectly legal but like i say now the tables
00:37:46have turned things are heavily in the favor of piper nivin who should be teaching vega a lesson here
00:37:54but once again back to the kendo then she dismisses it and just gets to business against piper
00:38:01piper
00:38:07piper able to break free and kick out and then roll out secret hervis they must rue the day they ever
00:38:14decided to tussle with zelena vega who has made their lives a misery
00:38:22gaga coming through with the kick between the ropes
00:38:27on the apron lines are up and stomps right on her back it's been the story of the last six or seven
00:38:33weeks here on smackdown and on ple's zelena vega is just one step ahead of chelsea green's crew
00:38:43week after week after week she was looking for the hurricane rana but instead
00:38:48piper able to get the best of her up on her shoulders and then slams her head down on the hard
00:38:54edge of the apron well that could break a jaw that could scramble the brains and it can certainly
00:39:00break a nose and it's all fair game oh oh boy basement cross body completely shaking the ring
00:39:10it's dominance here for the secret harvest
00:39:13that cross body smashing right into the side of the ring has piper niven in complete control
00:39:29oh we have an entertainment goddess where right in front of us with the fantastic lady gaga strides in
00:39:36here by alba fire and this is all done a 180 in the last few moments and finally oh look at this
00:39:44piper niven is about to get a pound of flesh out of zelena vega she just pulled out the chain
00:39:52now this crowd baker still is going to go nuts
00:39:57they don't deserve it
00:39:58actually it's a red hot crowd here sold out arena and bakersfield they deserve a lot
00:40:07they don't deserve a table from piper niven though do they not tonight
00:40:14chairs on the other chairs a baker's field brawl anything goes street fight rules
00:40:21oh you could do a lot of damage with a couple of steel chairs especially when you have the
00:40:25powerful arms of piper niven swinging them around and the diminutive frame of zelena vega presumably
00:40:33going to be on the receiving end don't you just love her spirit don't you just love how fiery
00:40:38the diminutive zelena vega is her ability to always give it a go and fight back well if you can't break
00:40:45someone's spirit break their body instead you've got a choice piper niven and it looks like we're going
00:40:52for the body of zelena vega
00:40:56yes you heard joe test super stardom that's what it looks like it looks like piper niven in a tux
00:41:04see piper niven trying to position that steel chair she has it wedged between the turnbuckles
00:41:10right now we're going to play a little darts a little human darts
00:41:14oh her back slants right into it her lower back at full speed into the steel chair yeah how's that
00:41:22lumbar spine feeling right about now zelena vega piper niven has been in control now for quite some time
00:41:31ever since that basement cross body smashed vega into the side of the ring niven's kind of strutting
00:41:38around in there now there hasn't been enough of this over the past few weeks from any of the secret
00:41:43hermes of my oh my are we getting a master class in the ring now oh oh the cannonball went south
00:41:55well the setup was fantastic it just took a beat too long and that has allowed the united states champ vega
00:42:02to get out of trouble and try and launch something back the other way oh meteora right into the cover
00:42:08piper throws her halfway across the ring just look at the difference in size of frames between these two
00:42:14it's difficult for vega to really pull off a tight pin against niven
00:42:22that was slammed by piper niven
00:42:31great familiarity between these rivals zelena vega and piper niven but different circumstances with
00:42:39the match style this is a bakersfield brawl this is street fight rules and piper niven has the chain
00:42:47wrapped around her right fist and she's looking to choke zelena vega with it who's trying to hold on
00:42:53wade and this is my favorite moment she's got a referee in there who wants to jump in but there's
00:42:58nothing he can do it's all legal and zelena vega is going to have a scar for a smile after this
00:43:07well like the joker from the dark knight the pressure that is being applied by piper niven and look at the
00:43:13pain in the eyes of zelena vega oh and then knees are right in the back and smashes her head on that
00:43:21turnbuckle there lost a couple of teeth in the process there
00:43:28take another look at this face first with the chain into that turnbuckle and zelena vega
00:43:37incredibly concerned about her dental work right now well there's no respite zelena you earn this
00:43:44piper has set up that steel chair a few times once between the turnbuckles another in the corner
00:43:51there's been several collisions from vega and this one might be the best of the bunch
00:43:55oh oh the counter no she's able to counter with the ddt
00:44:00scrappy zelena vega but piper niven rolls out well piper niven has no clue where she's at but somehow
00:44:08instinct kicked in and she got out of trouble for now take another look at this the salute
00:44:16gave that slight beat of an opportunity for zelena vega to turn it into a ddt
00:44:23and seize the momentum once again oh goes up top the moonsault takes them all out chelsea and the
00:44:30secret hervis and she gives a big right hand to alba fire alba fire who she recently defeated i felt that
00:44:37was a little unnecessary a cheap shot at alba fire but right now it's all about selena vega going
00:44:43skyward on nice and simple a bare paw to the jaw of vega a giant slap there's nothing pretty but it is
00:44:52highly effective and talk about highly effective where the hell are we going here piper's climbing
00:44:58right up there with vega piper niven looking for the superplex but fighting back with body shot after
00:45:06body shot and then the headbutt is the diminutive zelena vega i don't like the look of this at all
00:45:13joe test i know what vega's going for super cold red could it be wait off the second rope are you kidding me
00:45:21into the cover lateral press oh and alba fire comes into the ring and now chelsea green gets involved
00:45:33and is beating down her chief rival who took the title from her oh wait there's no bell there's no
00:45:39disqualification you know why joe test it's a baker's fail brawl and it's the best call in the history of nick
00:45:46oldest street fight rules and it is over delivering chelsea green and her secret hervis
00:45:55over deliver every time they're on tv joe test i'm glad you finally come around
00:46:05oh we see they're bringing a table into the ring as niven slams down sit out onto the floor i mean you
00:46:14could throw vega into the ring now get an easy pin but it's not just about the win tonight it's about
00:46:20making a statement it's about making an example who has of someone who has humiliated chelsea green's
00:46:28secret hervis week after week well the numbers game has proven to be too much right now the numbers game
00:46:35the power game the power game the intensity felina vega made her bed and now she is gonna lie in it
00:46:45the united states champion 42 days with that title we're about to witness some grievous bodily harm oh no
00:46:54from the mean the moody the magnificent piper living piper's looking to come oh julia is here
00:47:03julia evens things up how is julia doing julia who will be in the women's money in the bank
00:47:09oh no and look at vega back on her feet and julia's got a kendo stick in hand oh wow stop it
00:47:18just in time my oh my right through snapping that slim jim's table on the win
00:47:24here is your winner
00:47:38well julia who's made it quite clear she wants a piece of salina vega in the united states title
00:47:45giving a massive assist for the united states champion who once again has humiliated the secret
00:47:54hervis for what eight weeks in a row well thank goodness for julia to come in when the numbers
00:48:03game was going so south against selina vega and she raises her hand in appreciation
00:48:09tomorrow you'll see her in women's but whoa what is she doing what was that all about
00:48:22julia highly protected over who gets to beat up selina vega it would seem that u.s title is mine
00:48:33and stepping right on the former mxt champion the night before she makes
00:48:39her ple debut letting it be know what she is targeting and julia of course will be in sixth
00:48:45woman tag here on smackdown later on this evening perhaps that was a little warm-up for her
00:48:53what a scene here in baker's field
00:48:56i'm good man
00:49:10go banged up for monday but ain't nothing i can handle you good i'm good you look good
00:49:16who's what's up with you straight yeah i'm good why everybody keep asking me that whoa chill man
00:49:23you got a match tomorrow big title match on monday we just want to make sure the heat man ready to
00:49:28eat when it's time to eat good i'm a champion now that's what champs do answer the play run the call
00:49:34but look though only thing we got to worry about is what john cena and logan paul have to say tonight
00:49:39hmm other than that worry about tomorrow tomorrow yeah deep no i can't let it come
00:49:59initially i had convinced myself that someone of your standing
00:50:03somebody who's so loved by the wb universe using the black mass
00:50:17using the black mass was almost respectful and in a weird way i still respect it but the longer i
00:50:23think about it the more i think that you you you stole something from me
00:50:29and that does not sit well with me see it's funny what the human mind can do
00:50:37but now i want to take away all this security that you had in that match no shinsuke nakamura
00:50:47no relaxed rules just you and me and none of all the shadows that put there and i'll drag you into
00:50:55line let's see what's left of you but if you beat me all night i will look you in the eyes
00:51:05i will shake your hand and i will admit defeat
00:51:14when we come back it is revenge time for alistair black thought he had it done to make it to money in
00:51:20play now he faces the guy who took that spot l a night
00:51:34it's that time of the year again
00:51:38yeah
00:51:42it's money in the bank season
00:51:44now i think about it and you do a little bit of math here
00:51:54yeah
00:51:57this is my third year in a row being in money in the bank
00:52:03what's that sir you said third time's a charm
00:52:05what you think third time's a charm yeah but i ain't uh
00:52:15i'm not satisfied with that i'm not happy with that because i look at five guys running out here
00:52:22you got penta
00:52:27all right we like him a little bit we know he's gonna do everything under the sun to try and reach up and
00:52:33grab that case
00:52:36we got andrade
00:52:40okay we like him a little bit too
00:52:43another guy who's gonna do every possible thing that he can to get up there because of course he's
00:52:49in money in the bank everybody in money in the banks gonna do every single thing they can do
00:52:52but these guys are going to take it to another level but after i get to those two guys two guys
00:52:57that maybe we can respect a little bit then we get to the goon side of things
00:53:08then we get to uh we get to uh el grande americano gable
00:53:14well that was a mixed reaction we like him or we don't
00:53:32dummy number two solo
00:53:33i had a feeling that'd be about it i feel the same way if i'm honest and look solo we've done
00:53:43this a million times i can drop you on your head one more time climb the ladder and take that case
00:53:48no problem but then i think about dummy number three
00:53:54i think about a man that i haven't had a whole lot of interaction with i think about a guy who's
00:53:58recently got himself a little bit crewed up he's got a couple guys running around with him and i'm
00:54:04talking about seth rollins
00:54:14seth's been here he's done that he's had that case he's been the champion as a matter of fact
00:54:19he's going to want to come in tomorrow and he's going to want to burn it down
00:54:22but seth what you got to understand is there's nothing hotter than an l.a night with l.a night
00:54:32in l.a tomorrow night yeah and what that means is you ain't gonna be burning the damn thing down
00:54:39because you're gonna get burned by this man yeah
00:54:45but before we get there i got to think about tonight and tonight well alistair black he he had a shot
00:54:53and i understand i understand look this is a big deal here money in the bank's a big deal
00:54:59money in the bank can make careers it can break careers so i understand why your feelings got hurt
00:55:05at the fact that i went ahead and stole the pin from you my man it's a three-way match i did what
00:55:11i had to do and i got the job done if you got a problem with that if that hurt your feelings i'm sorry
00:55:16for you but now what you did is you set yourself up to get your feelings hurt one more time yeah
00:55:23and you will know coming into l.a coming into california when we're in bakersfield tonight
00:55:27he ain't gonna be in l.a he's gonna be sitting on the couch he's gonna be sitting on the couch
00:55:32watching this man showing everybody whose game this is with everybody saying
00:55:44so
00:55:55so
00:56:27And a fascinating return to WWE for Aleister Black.
00:56:49This will be his fifth match since coming back over a month ago.
00:56:54Coming off the lone loss on SmackDown in his entire career.
00:56:59And now he faces the man who took that triple threat win from him.
00:57:04Or as Knight just said moments ago, I did what I have to do.
00:57:09Aleister Black feels like that victory in qualification for Money in the Bank was stolen from him.
00:57:15It's Black against L.A. Knight.
00:57:20Yeah!
00:57:21This July, WWE and Atlanta are bringing the classics back.
00:57:37The Great American Bash.
00:57:42It's getting hot in here, man.
00:57:44Saturday night's main event.
00:57:46And the history-making all-women's spectacle, Evolution.
00:57:51Three massive shows.
00:57:53One unforgettable weekend.
00:57:55Back on May 23rd, right here on SmackDown.
00:58:06We had our Money in the Bank triple threat qualifier.
00:58:11Aleister Black was on a tear in that match.
00:58:14He had gotten the best to control of Shinsuke Nakamura.
00:58:17And just when he thought he could put it away, all of a sudden, L.A. Knight came in, tossed Black from the ring, made the cover, got the win.
00:58:27Yeah, and it's that implication from Aleister Black that L.A. Knight stole his victory.
00:58:34Yes, Aleister Black, it was your Black Mass that put Shinsuke Nakamura down.
00:58:39But the rules of the triple threat match are, the game is not over until somebody gets the three count.
00:58:46Well, guess what?
00:58:47L.A. Knight pounced at the right moment.
00:58:50It may be seen as parasitic.
00:58:52It may be seen as scavenging.
00:58:54But ultimately, it's all fair in that kind of matchup.
00:58:58And that is the perspective of L.A. Knight.
00:59:03Fascinating to see this stylistic matchup between Black and Knight.
00:59:06Of course, moments ago, L.A. Knight coming out here and speaking directly to the crowd,
00:59:11basically going through and giving his scouting report as to what he's facing in the men's Money in the Bank ladder match.
00:59:18Yeah, it's a tall order, and I'm questioning the smarts of L.A. Knight even getting into competition this evening,
00:59:25where he should perhaps already be down the road in L.A., getting a nice early night
00:59:30and not doing battle with one of the best strikers this game has ever seen in the form of Alistair Black,
00:59:35who tonight has nothing to lose.
00:59:38As we know, he's not going to be competing tomorrow at Money in the Bank.
00:59:41The risk tonight is all L.A. Knight.
00:59:43As he said, third time's a charm.
00:59:51He'll be competing with L.A. Knight in his third Money in the Bank ladder match.
00:59:56Well, statistically speaking, it may take you on average six attempts to win the Money in the Bank ladder match,
01:00:04given the number of competitors in that match.
01:00:06But third time may well be the charm.
01:00:09One of the favorites tomorrow night certainly is the Megastar.
01:00:14And what a popular victory it will be in Los Angeles if their namesake becomes the victim.
01:00:21No doubt about it.
01:00:26These guys are looking to size each other up early on.
01:00:29You know how draining it is competing in extreme heats like it is here in Bakersfield, too.
01:00:40That may well have an effect on the Megastar tomorrow night.
01:00:44It's hard to replenish when you're competing in what feels like a sauna here in Bakersfield.
01:00:50Black has been very popular in his return, but you can hear here in Southern California,
01:01:05the crowd rallying support for the Megastar.
01:01:20Joe and Wade with you here from a sold-out Dignity Health Arena.
01:01:27L.A. Knight and Aleister Black see each other again after a few weeks ago
01:01:32when they were in the Money in the Bank triple threat qualifier
01:01:35that Aleister Black put himself in great position to win
01:01:38with his offensive assault against Shinsuke Nakamura.
01:01:41Then L.A. Knight, just when Aleister Black thought he could put it away.
01:01:45L.A. Knight came in the ring, tossed Black, made the cover, got the win,
01:01:48earned his way to what will be the men's Money in the Bank ladder match tomorrow
01:01:52just down the road in L.A.
01:01:54Back and forth they go.
01:01:55For me, I completely disagree with the perspective of Aleister Black.
01:01:59I get the frustration and went for that black mask there,
01:02:02but L.A. Knight simply too wise for it.
01:02:05And that implication that somehow Knight stole the victory
01:02:09and qualification for the Money in the Bank ladder match
01:02:11has not sat well at all with the Megastar,
01:02:14who tonight is looking to extinguish all doubt by putting Black down.
01:02:21He said, hey, listen, it's a triple threat.
01:02:23I was doing what I had to do.
01:02:26Just the nature of it.
01:02:27You don't have a divine right to a victory or a pin
01:02:30just because you hit the move that kept an opponent down.
01:02:34He brought up the fact, though,
01:02:35the concern of taking on a match like this
01:02:37and this matchup of skills round and round.
01:02:39They go the night before you compete in Money in the Bank,
01:02:42but that's who L.A. Knight is.
01:02:43His 24th match now of this calendar year.
01:02:46That's the most in WWE this year, Wade.
01:02:49Yeah, add up cumulative minutes of in-ring competition in 2025.
01:02:53I'm willing to bet that L.A. Knight is at the front of the pack.
01:02:58And it's admirable, yes, but it has consequences.
01:03:01And I'll tell you right now, Joe Tess,
01:03:03burning the candle at both ends is not a good long-term strategy for anybody.
01:03:09There is a price to pay in the form of fatigue.
01:03:13By the way, we cite the 24 matches.
01:03:16He has 13 wins this calendar year.
01:03:18That's the second most total wins in WWE.
01:03:22Stephanie Fakir has 14.
01:03:24Stephanie Fakir, we'll see later tonight.
01:03:26We will see tomorrow.
01:03:27Streaming on Peacock, the women's Money in the Bank ladder match.
01:03:30It's a fascinating group that's put together.
01:03:33Those six women going for the briefcase.
01:03:35All those victories you've just mentioned about L.A. Knight
01:03:39will pale in comparison to the one he could pull off.
01:03:43Tomorrow night in Los Angeles, if he grabs the briefcase.
01:03:46Pucks the leg.
01:03:47And the contract therein.
01:03:49An almost surefire guarantee that in the not-too-distant future,
01:03:54you will be acquiring gold the easy way.
01:03:57L.A. Knight!
01:03:58L.A. Knight!
01:03:59I'll tell you right now, this really has been a back-and-forth affair.
01:04:09We know the mind games, the psychology of Alistair Black often unravels opponents.
01:04:14I'll say the megastar ego of L.A. Knight is perhaps impenetrable to those mind games of Alistair Black.
01:04:21At least they have lucked that way.
01:04:24He went for the DDT, but instead gets put down, and then the kick to the face from L.A.
01:04:29Yeah, but the mind games aren't working.
01:04:31The physical ones certainly.
01:04:32Oh, man!
01:04:34No backing down by L.A. Knight here.
01:04:37Quickly able to kick out is Alistair Black.
01:04:39I love the offensive Alistair Black.
01:04:42It's so quick.
01:04:43Amazing reflexes.
01:04:45And then, of course, those Muay Thai strikes that practically nobody in the locker room has any form of defense for.
01:04:52It's not our game here in a wrestling ring.
01:04:54And that's what makes Alistair Black so dangerous.
01:04:57Oh, the jawbreaker from Black.
01:04:59And Knight.
01:05:00Cooked the counter.
01:05:01Went for that elbow.
01:05:03That was parried.
01:05:04Back on those strikes again is Alistair Black.
01:05:06Oh!
01:05:08Back in control is Black.
01:05:09Hooks the leg.
01:05:10Looking for the win here.
01:05:11And it's like boxing, Joe.
01:05:12You're the expert at that.
01:05:13But every time L.A. Knight throws a block, it's opened up a different part of the body.
01:05:20And instinctively, Alistair Black knows how to strike.
01:05:23You know what?
01:05:23Block your kidney.
01:05:24I'll hit you in the jaw with a knee.
01:05:26Yep.
01:05:26He has that kickboxing Muay Thai pedigree.
01:05:29The striking ability.
01:05:32Powerful.
01:05:33Accurate.
01:05:33But he knows where to find those spots.
01:05:36And there's no professional wrestling school on planet Earth that is teaching that.
01:05:40You have to go to these world-class kickboxing gyms that Alistair Black prowls.
01:05:46Lateral press.
01:05:47Training with world champions.
01:05:49And simply nobody has found an answer to it yet here on SmackDown.
01:05:57That's exactly what you're talking about right there.
01:05:59As Black with the leg sweep.
01:06:02And then the sliding knee comes in.
01:06:05And at this point, if you're out like that, you're begging somebody to grab it.
01:06:08Oh!
01:06:09Oh, God!
01:06:09Oh, God!
01:06:10He was going for that springboard moonsault.
01:06:13And instead, they're both out on the floor after the close line.
01:06:25Wade, Alistair Black had so much momentum with the striking attack, the varied offensive assault, the leg sweep, the sliding knee.
01:06:35But when he went for that springboard, L.A. was quick to react.
01:06:40Yeah, so L.A. Knight there really had no answer.
01:06:42As this count is now starting to climb.
01:06:45We could have a double count out here.
01:06:47L.A. Knight really had...
01:06:49Well, count is broken.
01:06:51L.A. Knight really had no answer whatsoever to that kind of offense from Alistair Black.
01:06:54So he went kamikaze.
01:06:56Here's the one thing Black wasn't expecting.
01:07:01Slingshotting his way in.
01:07:03And that left shoulder getting up from Black.
01:07:05Just shows you how desperate the megastar was there to try and get away from that offense.
01:07:11Putting his own body on the line to try and stem the tide.
01:07:15Just 24 hours before one of the biggest matches of L.A. Knight's career tomorrow night at Money in the Bank.
01:07:27Megastar going up top.
01:07:29Megastar is wobbled, though.
01:07:30You saw him try to take flight to get his balance because the body is not cooperating right now.
01:07:36Thanks to the level of assault from Alistair Black.
01:07:41What a job.
01:07:43And they trade him.
01:07:44Yeah, and they trade off strikes.
01:07:49I'm going to back Alistair Black every time.
01:07:56Again, those reflexes of Alistair Black clinging on to the top rope.
01:08:02As the megastar went for that leaping netbreaker.
01:08:04We've seen him hit so many times.
01:08:08Black is just so cerebral, so tactical.
01:08:12And right now, so effective.
01:08:14Got to respect what both men are giving tonight.
01:08:19They're finding out a lot about each other.
01:08:24And Knight again getting to his feet just in the nick of time to deny Alistair Black.
01:08:30See that exhaustion really kicking in on both superstars, which we mentioned it earlier.
01:08:37How can that possibly benefit L.A. Knight this close to a massive matchup tomorrow night in Los Angeles?
01:08:45Beating down Black, putting him in position.
01:08:59This crowd is loving it.
01:09:01Each man trading body shots.
01:09:19Both men now balanced precariously, punching their way to supremacy.
01:09:27Somebody is going to have an ugly night.
01:09:29And it's coming imminently.
01:09:31Tomorrow afternoon in L.A.
01:09:39As you see, Black rolling through as L.A. Knight.
01:09:43L.A. Knight's going to be in Money in the Bank.
01:09:44But he is taking a lot here.
01:09:47The moonsault comes through this time for Alistair Black.
01:09:50And L.A. Knight kicks out.
01:09:53Tomorrow, he's going to be in Money in the Bank.
01:09:54Tonight, he's dealing with the skill of Alistair Black.
01:09:57Well, the skill and the otherworldly athleticism of Alistair Black.
01:10:02So much is made of the mystique and the mind games.
01:10:06But far more terrifying for me is this level of physicality that keeps opponents guessing.
01:10:14Swimming a black mask.
01:10:15L.A. ducks it.
01:10:17Goes for BFT.
01:10:18Able to grip free is Black.
01:10:20Back and forth.
01:10:21They go.
01:10:22And finally, that jumping neckbreaker.
01:10:24L.A. Knight with momentum now.
01:10:29And ladies and gentlemen, whose game is it?
01:10:39L.A. Knight!
01:10:42Leaping elbow, no!
01:10:44Able to see that boot coming though just in time.
01:10:47This time it's L.A. Knight with those incredible reflexes turning the tables on Alistair Black.
01:10:53Burning hammer was denied as he landed on his feet.
01:10:59The roll-up!
01:11:00And the kick-out is at two.
01:11:02These guys really neutralizing one another going move for move, hold for hold, counter!
01:11:08Four counter!
01:11:09It's been fascinating to see this matchup.
01:11:18These two wildly skilled going for that moonsault again!
01:11:22But instead, Knight meets him right away!
01:11:25And there's a burning hammer as Knight!
01:11:30And rolling free and out of harm's way was Alistair Black.
01:11:36Alistair Black like an old glassy eyed on the outside.
01:11:39Wait a second!
01:11:40What in the world is Seth Rollins doing?
01:11:43He just came in and stomped L.A. Knight!
01:11:52Well, we talked a little earlier about how Seth freaking Rollins has a master plan for tomorrow night in the Money in the Bank ladder match.
01:12:04Well, one of those opponents, who is now apparently a victim, is the megastar L.A. Knight.
01:12:11He's looking for another stop.
01:12:13Oh, and Alistair Black is going to confront him.
01:12:17And Ron Breaker is in the ring.
01:12:29Spear!
01:12:30Breaker hits the spear!
01:12:32Wrong place, wrong time for Alistair Black, who is apparently collateral damage.
01:12:39Oh, and the senton by Big Bronson Reed.
01:12:43Tomorrow, L.A. Knight has to deal with...
01:12:48Oh, a spear on Knight!
01:12:50L.A. Knight has to make it to tomorrow first.
01:12:54What condition is the megastar going to be in?
01:12:59In the Money in the Bank ladder match.
01:13:01That's what this is all about.
01:13:03Soften up one of the biggest threats to Seth freaking Rollins' path to victory in the Money in the Bank ladder match.
01:13:11What was a brilliant match interrupted by Seth Rollins.
01:13:18Everybody here at SmackDown should have taken notice right from the start.
01:13:22Those are the participants tomorrow, the men's platter match.
01:13:26Seth Rollins and this alliance with Breaker and Bronson Reed.
01:13:30Well, it's utter devastation.
01:13:31We've seen how dominant that power trio can be.
01:13:35Now they've brought their efforts apparently for one night only here to SmackDown and then to Money in the Bank tomorrow.
01:13:42Of course, Money in the Bank tomorrow, 7 p.m. streaming on Peacock.
01:13:45But as for other massive new plans being put forth, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce, our SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis.
01:13:54Here they are.
01:13:54At WWE, things tend to move pretty fast.
01:14:01This week, we're climbing the ladder at Money in the Bank.
01:14:03And next week, while we're kicking off the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments.
01:14:08And this year, it's bigger than ever.
01:14:10The tournaments begin with four fatal four-way matches in the men's and women's division.
01:14:14And the winners advance.
01:14:15From there, it becomes a co-branded singles competition with semifinals and the finals.
01:14:20And those finals, they take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
01:14:24And night of champions.
01:14:26But the stakes could not be higher.
01:14:29Because the King and Queen of the Ring get a title match against the top champion of their respective brands at the biggest event of the summer, SummerSlam.
01:14:38So good luck, everybody.
01:14:40May the best man and woman win.
01:14:45What a headline-grabbing announcement by Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce with the return of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments to WWE.
01:14:56Well, my next guest has a vested interest in one of those tournaments.
01:15:00She is Jade Cargill.
01:15:02What is up?
01:15:03What's going on, Jade?
01:15:05Listen, I know tomorrow night you would have loved to have been part of the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match.
01:15:09But how good does it feel knowing that now you get to compete in the Queen of the Ring tournament?
01:15:15I mean, it feels great.
01:15:16Now, I understand I won't have the opportunity of climbing that ladder and grabbing that briefcase.
01:15:22But I'm going to keep climbing regardless.
01:15:25I am the storm.
01:15:26And I can't wait to tear through this Queen of the Ring tournament.
01:15:29And when the dust settles, I will be your next Queen of the Ring.
01:15:32And at SummerSlam, I'm not asking for gold.
01:15:36I'm taking it.
01:15:38On a slightly different note, also last week, we saw Bianca Belair refuse to forgive Naomi for what she did to you.
01:15:45But everybody wants to know, where do things stand between you and Bianca?
01:15:50Jade, listen, just a friendly reminder.
01:15:58Salt and sugar look the same.
01:16:00So either choose your friends wisely or don't have any at all.
01:16:04And if you think you're winning Queen of the Ring, you're going to need a prayer.
01:16:08There's only one queen in the WWE.
01:16:14Good luck with that, ladies.
01:16:16Now, look who is set to join us.
01:16:21No matter what time zone you're in, it's always tippy time.
01:16:36Muy bien, Santos.
01:16:38¿Por qué nos trajiste aquí?
01:16:40A ver.
01:16:40Familia.
01:16:41Después de esa reunión que tuvimos, estamos de acuerdo que vamos a World's Collide.
01:16:48Pero ahora tengo un plan muy sencillo.
01:16:53World's Collide.
01:16:54Cuando los mundos chocan.
01:16:56Ahí de una vez por todas vamos a establecer ante nuestra gente, nuestro público, nuestro México,
01:17:03a quién le pertenece el mundo de la lucha libre.
01:17:06¿Quieres una prevencia?
01:17:07Sí.
01:17:08El legado del fantasma en contra de Psycho Clown, Pagano y el que siempre va a vivir de la sombra de su padre.
01:17:18Doctor Wagner III.
01:17:22Estamos eliminando efectivamente el alma y el corazón de esa casa.
01:17:27Así que mucha atención.
01:17:29Sé que podemos.
01:17:30Tenemos las herramientas para hacerlo.
01:17:34A establecer a quién le pertenece el mundo de la lucha libre frente a nuestra gente, nuestro público, nuestro país.
01:17:40A la voz de dos palabras.
01:17:44Legado.
01:17:47Familia.
01:17:48¡Viva México!
01:17:49Alongside Brutus and Julius Creed, I'd like to welcome my guest, Chad Gable.
01:18:00Chad, big day for you tomorrow at World's Collide.
01:18:02You challenged El Hingo del Fakingo for the AAA Mega Championship.
01:18:09How confident are you about this match?
01:18:11Confidence.
01:18:12Confidence is high, I must admit.
01:18:14I'm a little disappointed I didn't qualify for the money in the bank, but they found a suitable replacement.
01:18:19The greatest luchador of all time, El Grande Americano, is going to climb the ladder and take the briefcase home.
01:18:26And as for me, I find my own way into the history books tomorrow when I defeat Vakingo at World's Collide
01:18:33and win the most prestigious title in all of Lucha Libre, the AAA Mega Championship.
01:18:41Coming home with me.
01:18:42Evo, ¿tú crees que le vas a ganar?
01:18:52Sí.
01:18:53¿Al vikingo?
01:18:54Tú no tienes idea.
01:18:55Sí.
01:18:55¿Quién es el vikingo?
01:18:56Mira.
01:18:57Sí.
01:18:58Sí.
01:18:59¿Qué?
01:18:59¿Sí qué?
01:19:00Sí.
01:19:01Ey, Andrade.
01:19:04Este no tiene idea de lo que dice.
01:19:06Está loco.
01:19:07Tienes que arreglarte la cabeza, ¿ya?
01:19:09Sí.
01:19:09Sí, tienes que arreglarte.
01:19:10No.
01:19:11¡Hey!
01:19:12¿That's enough?
01:19:13¿What?
01:19:14¿Think that's funny?
01:19:15Yeah, ¿qué?
01:19:15¿It will be funny when El Grande puts you both through a ladder tomorrow night?
01:19:19Hey, you, uh...
01:19:20Hey, Max.
01:19:21You, uh...
01:19:22You a Broadway, ¿eh?
01:19:23You a Broadway, ¿eh?
01:19:25Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, come on.
01:19:27I got enough going on tonight with this guy.
01:19:30I got enough going on tonight without you lot coming to blows back here.
01:19:32So guess what?
01:19:33You can settle this in the ring tonight.
01:19:35Yeah.
