00:00:00Forever.
00:00:09Together.
00:00:18Welcome to Grand Rapids, Michigan for Friday Night Smackdown.
00:00:23The summer solstice is upon us.
00:00:25The most daylight of any day of the year.
00:00:28And these fans here know this bright summer night is shining with stars in the ring.
00:00:34The Van Andel Arena has struck gold.
00:00:36It's sold out.
00:00:38Landing the semifinals of the King and Queen of the Ring Tournament.
00:00:42We have three matchups that no one could see coming.
00:00:45Including the Viper.
00:00:47Randy Orton.
00:00:49RKO'd his way through a fatal four-way to advance past the first round.
00:00:54And now he faces Sami Zayn.
00:00:58He's never defeated Grand Rapids.
00:00:59But Sami pulls off an upset tonight.
00:01:01He's headed to the finals.
00:01:03On the women's side, it's a matchup of former champions.
00:01:08Alexa Bliss came up with a thrilling victory in her first round.
00:01:12Hitting a sister Abigail DDT to land in this semifinal match.
00:01:16But she has to face the Empress of Tomorrow.
00:01:21Asuka's returned.
00:01:22And she's as fierce as ever.
00:01:24A spectacular win-the-ring semifinal Alexa against Asuka.
00:01:29Plus, Solva Sokoa has come to Michigan needing to hear four little words from Jacob Fatu.
00:01:36Things went south between them and Money in the Bank.
00:01:39So now Solva's expecting to welcome Fatu back into the family.
00:01:42We will find out if that happens.
00:01:46And it's a far different version of R-Truth lately.
00:01:50Or as he's saying, put some respect on the name Ron Killings.
00:01:53Truth has been attacking John Cena.
00:01:55Tonight, he gets what he wants.
00:01:57A rematch with Cena.
00:01:59Ron Killings against John Cena.
00:02:00Tonight on SmackDown.
00:02:02Oh, and Wade Barrett.
00:02:06There's air quality concerns.
00:02:09The Megastars marching in.
00:02:11So there's a pheromone warning in here.
00:02:14Inhale the Kvorka.
00:02:16The Megastar.
00:02:17L.A. Knight.
00:02:19Yeah!
00:02:32Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome L.A. Knight!
00:02:43Yeah!
00:02:45Way back here on SmackDown after four days ago disrupting Bronson Reed's Fatal 4-Way on Raw.
00:02:53Yeah, let's take you back to that King of the Ring Fatal 4-Way.
00:02:58This past Monday, Bronson Breaker getting involved in an attempt to win Bronson Reed.
00:03:07Smashing up everything inside until Penta attack.
00:03:11Taken out Bronson Breaker.
00:03:13And with Reed about to crush the competition.
00:03:17In runs L.A. Knight causing some chaos opening the window for main event Jey Uso.
00:03:23Hit the splash above his spot in the semi-finals of the King of the Ring Tournament.
00:03:30A little payback from L.A. Knight to the crew who scumpered his own chances in the King of the Ring Tournament.
00:03:36Let me talk to you.
00:04:06Let's just go ahead and rewind our mind a little bit.
00:04:15We go back to Money in the Bank.
00:04:18Seth and his boys, they just happened to come down and screw this guy.
00:04:21And, you know, usually, you know me, I usually let things slide.
00:04:32But I just figured I couldn't let that slide.
00:04:34I had to come back and make sure I got a little payback and screw one of his boys out of King of the Ring.
00:04:39But they came back.
00:04:45They paid it back to me one more time, screwed me out of King of the Ring.
00:04:47So then I screwed the other one out of King of the Ring.
00:04:50And it's just got me thinking.
00:05:04There's only one way this can go.
00:05:07I've gone back and forth.
00:05:09Raw, SmackDown, Raw, SmackDown.
00:05:10Round and round it goes.
00:05:12Where it ends, nobody knows.
00:05:15Except me.
00:05:16I know.
00:05:17I know where it ends.
00:05:20It ends with me.
00:05:22It ends with Seth Rollins.
00:05:24What better place than here?
00:05:26What better time than now?
00:05:28Seth Rollins.
00:05:30Come on out.
00:05:32And talk to LA Night.
00:05:33Ladies and gentlemen.
00:06:00Ladies and gentlemen.
00:06:02My name is Paul Hagen.
00:06:06I serve as the wise man for Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth freaking Rollins.
00:06:24You don't boo that name?
00:06:28Boo!
00:06:32You screwed up your cue.
00:06:35We'll do it all over again.
00:06:40I serve as the wise man for Seth freaking Rollins.
00:06:56Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth...
00:06:59Hey, can you just shut up and get to your damn point?
00:07:02Why are you here?
00:07:06Why are you here?
00:07:14May I?
00:07:14You're right.
00:07:28There's been a lot of bad blood that's gone down between you and Mr. Money in the Bank,
00:07:46Seth freaking Rollins.
00:07:49However, I happen to be with all due respect to everyone here tonight in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
00:08:07I happen to be...
00:08:09I happen to be...
00:08:13Clearly you guys have a lot of enemies.
00:08:28I happen to be...
00:08:30I happen to be the biggest LA Night fan in all of WWE.
00:08:38And I've been waiting a long time to say this.
00:08:46Yeah!
00:08:47Yeah!
00:08:48Oh, I'm waiting...
00:08:49I'm waiting...
00:08:50So, because of that, Seth freaking Rollins...
00:08:57Has...
00:08:58Has allowed me to say to you, as a favor to me...
00:09:15It's time for you to get the hell out of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
00:09:28Because if you don't, something really bad is gonna happen to you before the end of this night.
00:09:45Have a nice evening.
00:10:04I couldn't help but notice, but did you just threaten me?
00:10:12Because I gotta just wrap my head around this for just a second.
00:10:16Because I've heard you say that before, you're a big fan of me, that's great.
00:10:21And you know why I've heard you say that before?
00:10:23Because you're a liar, you're a swindler, you're a grifter, you're a scammer, you're a schemer.
00:10:32You leech on to every piece of talent that's got a little bit of hype, a little bit of buzz.
00:10:38You leech on, you suck them dry, and you move on to the next.
00:10:43Seth Rollins just happens to be the latest in this.
00:10:46And then where do you go next? I really don't care.
00:10:49The bottom line is, I asked you for Seth Rollins, you gave me Paul Heyman.
00:10:55And why you gave me Paul Heyman, you gave me a Paul Heyman who's out here talking pretty damn tough.
00:11:05So it's kinda got me thinking, I kinda got this great idea why you're talking about wise man, wisdom.
00:11:12You know, there's a point in time where if you were to talk like that, a man like me would have looked at a thing like you and punched your wisdom teeth down your throat.
00:11:24But I'm not gonna do that.
00:11:27Yet.
00:11:28Here's what I'm gonna do instead.
00:11:32Since you're talking so tough, since you can't bring me Seth Rollins, I just have to think that must mean the only thing we can do right here in Grand Rapids.
00:11:41Is L.A. Night and Paul Heyman right here, right now?
00:12:01Do you want L.A. Night and Paul Heyman right now?
00:12:05Huh?
00:12:07Huh?
00:12:09Huh?
00:12:10Yeah!
00:12:12Yeah!
00:12:13So I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
00:12:14I'm gonna turn my back right now.
00:12:15I'm gonna take my stuff off.
00:12:17Big man, I'm gonna let you get the first shot and make it a good one.
00:12:21Cause if you don't, I'll molly whop your ass all the way back out in Grand Rapids.
00:12:40Remember when I told you get the hell out of Grand Rapids or something really bad's gonna happen to you by the end of the night?
00:12:54That wasn't a prediction.
00:12:55That wasn't a prediction.
00:12:57That was a spoiler.
00:13:01That was a spoiler.
00:13:04Oh, looks like Heyman's warning is materializing in the form of Braun Breaker and Bronson Reed.
00:13:19Yeah, and this is the issue with L.A. Night.
00:13:22He's been playing with fire for weeks now and you don't cause issues for this trio without some major consequences.
00:13:30Yep, we know what happened in the King of the Ring first round and now it's two on one.
00:13:37Breaker, Reed and the Megastar.
00:13:39That's two of the most powerful savage beasts we have here directed by Paul Heyman.
00:13:48And that molly whopping is going the way of the Megastar.
00:13:53It's ripping his shirt apart.
00:13:55Oh, I'm sending him over the barrier of Timekeeper.
00:13:58Now watch out.
00:14:01Front breakers turned into a madman instantly here.
00:14:09Oh, Knight's got a steel chair.
00:14:11Knight's on the attack.
00:14:13Take your eye off the Megastar for a second.
00:14:16Back to the back of Big Bronson Reed and Brown Breaker.
00:14:19Swing it with a major equalizer.
00:14:22Or whatever plan Paul Heyman cocked up.
00:14:26Has backfired.
00:14:27The Megastar.
00:14:30Able to fight him off with the chair in hand.
00:14:38As Paul Heyman has returned ringside to gather his troops.
00:14:43And even more layers to everything that's been happening with L.A. Knight and the Seth Rollins group.
00:14:53The cost tonight was money in the bank.
00:14:55Interfered there.
00:14:56Now the attack of the Megastar to open up this electric Friday Night Smackdown.
00:15:01This was moments ago here with L.A. Knight, Ron Breaker and Bronson Reed.
00:15:08And the attack was on L.A. Knight looking for about five seconds.
00:15:11But the power of Breaker and Reed to full control of this one.
00:15:16And the beatdown commenced.
00:15:18But the Megastar with chair in hand found the ultimate equalizer.
00:15:23Beating the hell of these two powerhouses.
00:15:26And seemingly living to fight another day.
00:15:29But trust me that day will come.
00:15:35We have this under control.
00:15:38This is all in our favor.
00:15:41It's always going to be in our favor.
00:15:44That's the whole point behind it.
00:15:45Excuse me gentlemen.
00:15:47Sorry.
00:15:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:15:52Not him.
00:15:53Don't fight him.
00:15:54Your move.
00:15:55My apologies again.
00:15:56I just wanted to let you all know that I just received word from Nick Aldis.
00:16:00That tonight, Bronson Reed will go one on one with L.A. Knight.
00:16:11Okay.
00:16:13Goodbye.
00:16:18I told you.
00:16:20Patience is not a virtue.
00:16:24It's a strategy.
00:16:30And we all win.
00:16:31Bronson Reed, L.A. Knight coming up.
00:16:33But right now, Queen of the Ring semifinal action.
00:16:42The following contest is a semifinal match in the Queen of the Ring tournament.
00:16:48Introducing first, from Columbus, Ohio, Alexa Bliss!
00:16:56It has been so special to watch the return of Alexa Bliss.
00:17:00Five-time world champion.
00:17:01Pulled off one of the best timed wins last week we've seen in a wild wave.
00:17:05That made for a very bothered Charlotte Flair.
00:17:07That is right.
00:17:08Flair looking so good, looking to progress in the Queen of the Ring.
00:17:11Locking in the figure eight of Alba Flair.
00:17:14Close to tapping out.
00:17:16Alexa Bliss, though, just in the nick of time hitting that Abigail DDT.
00:17:21Scoring the three count milliseconds before fire tapped out to Flair.
00:17:26The margin between victory and defeat has never been closer.
00:17:31But Alexa is the one who progresses through to the Queen of the Ring semifinal.
00:17:36That is about to take place.
00:17:37How about Charlotte's face?
00:17:38Ooh!
00:17:39Six to it.
00:17:40Maybe a second earlier she would have had it.
00:17:42Predonix SmackDown is delivered by...
00:17:44You ready, Joe?
00:17:45Oh, this is so good, Wayne.
00:17:46I'm not ready.
00:17:47Nobody is ready for Asuka!
00:17:50You ready, Joe?
00:17:51Oh, this is so good, Wayne.
00:17:52I'm not ready.
00:17:53Nobody is ready for Asuka!
00:17:57And her opponent from Osaka, Japan!
00:18:15The Empress of tomorrow, Asuka!
00:18:20Her signature entrance.
00:18:22We just saw in Monday Night Raw her ever-impressive ability in the ring.
00:18:26Over 400 days she was out of action.
00:18:29Serious knee injury, required surgery.
00:18:31But what a way to come back, Wayne!
00:18:33Rodriguez looking to win.
00:18:35Progress with a Tejada bomb, but someone had other plans!
00:18:39For someone being real bloody.
00:18:41Ripley dropping the powerhouse with his rib-tied on the outside.
00:18:47And that opened the window for the returning Asuka to strike.
00:18:51And score the dub.
00:18:53Progressing through to tonight's semi-final against Alexa Bliss.
00:18:59Just one step away from Knight of Champions
00:19:02and the final of the Queen of the Ring tournament.
00:19:05The four-time World Champion.
00:19:09Who's worked so hard to get herself back to this prime form that we've always seen.
00:19:15Asuka!
00:19:17Two of the absolute best of their generation.
00:19:21Nine World Championship reigns between these two.
00:19:25Only one woman can progress to the final in Saudi Arabia.
00:19:30One week from tomorrow at Knight of Champions.
00:19:33And let's not forget that sweetener of the championship opportunity at SummerSlam
00:19:39for whoever wins this tournament.
00:19:41Of course, their career is filled with championship gold on the resume,
00:19:46including what they've accomplished together.
00:19:48These two were WWE Women's Tag Team Champions together back in 2022.
00:19:54Wait, I want to get into your take on Asuka at this stage of what we've seen at this point of her career.
00:20:00On social media this week, she posted an intense photo with a message that simply stated,
00:20:05I wasn't gone, I was holding the power inside, the fire never died, it's alive, and now it's time to burn again.
00:20:11Such a long layoff for Asuka, and you would understand if she wanted to come back and take it a little slowly,
00:20:17get a couple of easy matches under your belt, but no, not for Asuka.
00:20:21Straight in at the deep end in a major tournament against top tier opponents.
00:20:26Asuka is not waiting around, she wants success immediately.
00:20:31That fire is raging inside her.
00:20:34Shoulder tackle against Alexa Bliss, and now goes with the hip attack, and she sends her off the apron.
00:20:43Queen of the ring, semi-final action from here in Grand Rapids.
00:20:46Joe Tessitore and Wade Barron with you here, Friday Night SmackDown.
00:20:58As we are closing in on the Night of Champions next week, it'll be streaming in Peacock,
00:21:03and of course, that is when we have our finals of the King and Queen of the Ring,
00:21:07and Alexa Bliss and Asuka battling in this semi-final to try to see who arrives in Riyadh with a chance to be Queen of the Ring.
00:21:16A cumulative time off that these two women have had over the past 18 months.
00:21:21It is insane that they're able to go straight back to this top level of competition.
00:21:26I remember getting time off in my career through injuries.
00:21:29It would take me two or three months to start feeling myself again once I'd return.
00:21:34It took me forever to shake off that ring rust, get my ring wheels back under me,
00:21:39get my lungs kicking into top gear again.
00:21:42But these two, right off the bat, it is incredibly impressive.
00:21:46It tells you a lot about their training regimens while they've been out.
00:21:49And would you not agree that even the most consistent fan, viewer, aficionado,
00:21:56still doesn't realize what it takes to do what you just saw?
00:22:00I would absolutely agree with that.
00:22:02Look, everyone knows you can step on a treadmill, you can get on a bike, you can jump in the swimming pool.
00:22:07Nothing matches the kind of cardiovascular health that is required to get in that ring.
00:22:14The only thing that traditionally can build that is competition.
00:22:17That's right. This is lung-burning competition when you get to this level, to this stage, and with these stakes.
00:22:27One thing about a treadmill, it doesn't punch you in the face every five seconds.
00:22:31No, the heavy bag doesn't punch back.
00:22:33You simply cannot contend with in the gym.
00:22:36Got to do the hard yards in the ring, but these two are just naturals.
00:22:43We are sold out here in Grand Rapids, 11,134.
00:22:48And this is the kind of star power that they knew they were going to get tonight.
00:22:53Just found out moments ago we will see L.A. Knight against Bronson Reed.
00:22:59General Manager Nick Aldis making that match on the spot after what happened to open up Friday Night SmackDown
00:23:07when Breaker and Bronson Reed attacked L.A. Knight with Paul Heyman engaging Knight from the start.
00:23:13Yeah, and there are going to be some consequences for that later on for L.A. Knight you would assume.
00:23:21You simply cannot mess with that power trio from Raw who seemingly can invade SmackDown anytime they feel like it.
00:23:29But it doesn't seem too much that GMs like Nick Aldis are going to be able to do about it.
00:23:36Big boot from Asuka.
00:23:40And a missile drop kick.
00:23:41Absolute bullseye right to the chest.
00:23:43Right into the cover.
00:23:45And that has knocked the stuffing out of Alexa Bliss.
00:23:49Now desperately trying to cling on to some sort of competition in this match as Asuka is looking dominant.
00:24:05Over 13 months away from ring action for Asuka.
00:24:09But here she is in a span of a week looking so impressive.
00:24:13Trying to get that lock on but Bliss able to break free as she takes on Alexa Bliss in the Queen of the Ring semi-final.
00:24:19Yeah, I'll give you my opinion right now as Alexa Bliss is starting to get some momentum here in a fatal four-way that we saw Alexa, excuse me, we saw Asuka in last week.
00:24:29There are opportunities to hide from the firefight.
00:24:32You haven't got all the attention on you.
00:24:34This is singles now so if there are any weaknesses in Asuka's game after that layoff, it's about to be exposed.
00:24:41Big knee from Bliss.
00:24:43And then into the cover right away to advance to the finals.
00:24:45And getting that shoulder up was Asuka.
00:24:48A little frustration now starting to kick in for Alexa Bliss.
00:24:52We know she's got an all-timer resume but has not held World Championship gold since 2018.
00:24:59Win this tournament.
00:25:01Become Queen of the Ring.
00:25:02And the opportunity to change that presents itself.
00:25:06Striking attack from Asuka.
00:25:08And now looking to gather momentum offensively.
00:25:11Empress of Tomorrow.
00:25:14Into the cover.
00:25:16You saw moments ago that crown that they are battling to be in position for this semi-final action.
00:25:22Finals comes your way next Saturday, June 28th, Night of Champions.
00:25:26The finals for King and Queen of the Ring.
00:25:33Oh, she goes for the big kick but instead it's a roll-up!
00:25:35It's a roll-up for Alexa!
00:25:39And now Sister Abigail's lined up, Wade!
00:25:41Out of nowhere!
00:25:42She's got Sister Abigail!
00:25:44Oh, but a roll-up by Asuka countering it!
00:25:47What a sequence between these highly skilled former champions.
00:25:51Now a boot right to the temple!
00:25:53Could that do it?
00:25:54No!
00:25:55Able to get the shoulders up.
00:25:56That was a late, late kick out from Alexa Bliss who looks as groggy as hell right now.
00:26:02And Asuka, if she can pick up the pace here, surely has a victory looming.
00:26:07So impressive what we have seen out of these two.
00:26:11The pace, the skill, the varied offensive attack.
00:26:16Asuka up top.
00:26:17Could it be missile drop kick?
00:26:18Getting out of the way was Alexa Bliss!
00:26:20Bliss is too nimble!
00:26:22Oh, and she has the DDT!
00:26:25To advance to the finals!
00:26:26Left shoulder gets up at two and change.
00:26:29While Asuka is now well and truly softened up after this DDT right on the top of the crown.
00:26:37And Alexa Bliss just a millisecond from qualifying for the final.
00:26:44And you hear the crowd.
00:26:46The sold out Van Andel Arena.
00:26:48It is awesome.
00:26:49And it's exactly what you expect to be delivered with Bliss and Asuka.
00:26:56Bliss!
00:26:57Bliss!
00:26:58Bliss!
00:27:07Bliss second-guess of herself but...
00:27:08Yeah, she was thinking Twisted Bliss and then all of a sudden...
00:27:11did second-guess it.
00:27:13Think she thought Asuka might have been playing possum.
00:27:17Maybe... oh, maybe she was!
00:27:18Oh, maybe she was indeed!
00:27:20And she's locking it in!
00:27:22Playing Armbar is locked in by Asuka!
00:27:25And that left arm, that right arm, excuse me, fully extended in the middle of the ring.
00:27:30And now a transition. Keep your eyes peeled here.
00:27:33She's looking for the submission here to advance herself.
00:27:37Got that Asuka love, that modified version of it.
00:27:41And Bliss needs to get the hell out of there.
00:27:43She is desperate to get to that rope.
00:27:46Sheer torture on the limbs of Alexa Bliss.
00:27:50And there's no let-up now from Asuka.
00:27:52There is it indeed.
00:27:54Hangman's neckbreaker connected.
00:27:56Can that neckbreaker put it away? No!
00:27:58Right shoulder gets up.
00:28:00And you do question, was that a mistake from Alexa Bliss when she was on the top rope,
00:28:06elected to drop down instead of going for that twisted Bliss?
00:28:10Sold out here in Grand Rapids.
00:28:1311,134.
00:28:15And what a match they're getting in this Queen of the Rings semifinal.
00:28:19A banger right off the bat from two of the best with all the stakes of this one.
00:28:23Oh, I think Asuka was going for the Empress Impact, but instead she ate that right hand from Bliss.
00:28:28Well, Bliss now the one perhaps playing Possum.
00:28:31What a battle of the minds it's been in this one.
00:28:34Oh, she's got her hung up and lands the dropkick.
00:28:37Completely unprotected was Asuka.
00:28:41We might be getting take two here, Jota.
00:28:43Moments ago she didn't go for it.
00:28:46There it is.
00:28:47Oh, but twisted Bliss with knees up.
00:28:51Knees up.
00:28:52And there it is.
00:28:55Empress Impact.
00:28:58Asuka's done it.
00:28:59Here is your winner.
00:29:05Asuka!
00:29:09Asuka qualifies for the final of the Queen of the Ring tournament.
00:29:15Taking place one week from tomorrow.
00:29:18At Night of Champions, she will face the victor of...
00:29:21No one is ready for Asuka.
00:29:29You heard it, Jota.
00:29:31It's absolutely correct.
00:29:33Will Jay Cargill or Roxanne Perez face Asuka in the final?
00:29:38We will find out this Monday on Raw.
00:29:43Damn.
00:29:44Asuka just came back and she already making statements.
00:29:47It's like she never left.
00:29:48I think it's time we make our own statements.
00:29:51Actually, we need to talk to all this about the tag team titles.
00:29:55You know what I mean?
00:29:56You're right.
00:29:56Hey, you got this.
00:29:58Good luck, girl.
00:29:59Thank goodness.
00:30:01Hey, Jade.
00:30:02Mind if I grab a word with you?
00:30:04Shoot.
00:30:05I know you just watched Asuka advance to the finals of the Queen of the Ring tournament,
00:30:08but you also have your own semifinal match this Monday night against Roxanne Perez.
00:30:14So how do you feel about facing such a talented competitor like Perez?
00:30:17And also, how do you feel about the possibility of facing Asuka in the finals?
00:30:25Rox, she has potential.
00:30:27She's quick, scrappy, but she's still trying to prove herself.
00:30:31And this isn't a proven ground.
00:30:34This is a throne room.
00:30:35And I was built for royalty.
00:30:37Now, Asuka, that's the storm on the horizon.
00:30:41But newsflash, I'm the storm.
00:30:43This entire tournament, it wasn't built for the future.
00:30:47It was built for a woman that can walk through the fire,
00:30:49shatter glass ceilings, and fix her crown on the way to the top.
00:30:53This Queen of the Ring, I'm not walking in just to win.
00:30:59I'm walking in to reign.
00:31:01Well, from women's semifinals to men's semifinals later here tonight on SmackDown,
00:31:09the King of the Ring semifinal.
00:31:11Number one takes place as the Viper, Randy Orton, goes head-to-head with Sami Zayn.
00:31:17Plus the lethal striker, the mysterious, fiercely determined Alistair Black.
00:31:22He's been in so tough lately.
00:31:23He's looked so impressive.
00:31:24We're back in black, in action, next.
00:31:34Oh, hello, foo-foo.
00:31:37How's your boo-boo?
00:31:39How's yours?
00:31:40Oh, you're stunning.
00:31:41She's just jealous.
00:31:42Serves you right, Bliss.
00:31:44I should have been Queen of the Ring,
00:31:46and I would have already been building my parliament by now if it weren't for you.
00:31:49You really have that big of an issue with it?
00:31:51Why don't you try facing me in the ring again?
00:31:52I bet you didn't work out for you, didn't it?
00:31:54Ladies, ladies, ladies.
00:31:56If anyone should have been in this tournament, it should have been me.
00:31:59But had your replacement tapped out three seconds sooner, I'd still be here.
00:32:03So here's the thing.
00:32:04I'm going to have this match made tonight and tap you out tonight.
00:32:09Not if I make it a fake holiday.
00:32:11Royal duties, girls.
00:32:12Royal duties.
00:32:12Take a left.
00:32:14I don't need your help.
00:32:17That's cute.
00:32:18I wasn't here to help you.
00:32:22That relationship's interesting, isn't it?
00:32:26Kit Wilson, one half of the tag team.
00:32:28Pretty deadlies.
00:32:29Taking a singles action tonight after the early May injury to his partner, Elton Prince.

00:42:19Slanked to a table and then
00:42:21Dismissed the hopes of Shinsuke Nakamura
00:42:23Getting through Priest and Andrade as well

00:43:08Look at this scene
00:43:09Look at this scene
00:43:09You wonder why they call him the quarterback of the biz
00:43:12QB1
00:43:13In front of a sold-out crowd
00:43:16On their feet
00:43:17Giving him this kind of a reception
00:43:20As he
00:43:21Humbly tries to work his way back

00:44:28Packed out arena after packed out arena, anywhere around the world, there really is no sight quite
00:44:58like this.
00:45:01And they can never get enough.
00:45:04Jay Uso.
00:45:13Just a couple weeks removed from teaming up in L.A. with Cody Rhodes.
00:45:18And now just a couple days removed from facing off against Cody Rhodes in the men's semifinals
00:45:24of this King of the Ring tournament.
00:45:28So much respect between these two, of course, that has to go out the window.
00:45:34Bell to bell this Monday on Raw.
00:45:37The stakes are quite simply too high.
00:45:41Oh, he's dapping us up.
00:45:43Damn, I feel cool right now.
00:45:45Jay Uso just has that effect, doesn't he?
00:45:47A sea of humanity completely in sync with main event, Jay Uso.
00:45:58A constant wave of energy that yeets throughout the building.
00:46:03From high atop to down ringside.
00:46:20Sold out in Grand Rapids.
00:46:22Woo, I'm on the play.

00:54:56oos
00:54:58man i respect the the hell out of you dude
00:55:04our families go way way way back nothing but love dude but if you're standing across the ring from me at summer slam it's not gonna be four letters one word
00:55:15three letters one word it's gonna be three letters in one move
00:55:22now i think
00:55:25not only can i speak for myself but i can also speak for you
00:55:29you and each and every one of you beautiful people in this arena
00:55:34when i say and i mean this from the bottom of my heart sammy one day one day soon sammy zane will be world champion
00:55:49but summer slam's not that day
00:55:56because tonight you're gonna be on the receiving end of the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment
00:56:02r
00:56:04k
00:56:05a lot of confidence in that ring right now
00:56:09the two have to prove it all immediately sammy zane randy orton king of the ring semifinals coming up next
00:56:17coming up next
00:56:24that is the target
00:56:26the crown for king of the ring
00:56:28it'll be earned next week night of champions saturday june 28th
00:56:32from riyadh saudi arabia be streaming on peacock but right now we have to see who will arrive in the finals
00:56:39this is semi-final action randy orton and sammy zane
00:56:44randy orton perhaps the sentimental choice for the king of the ring this year after losing out in the final last year when he really wasn't pinned he got screwed out of that final
00:56:56the chance to make things good this year in 2025 fix that problem the path to arrive here at this semi-final for each man for randy orton
00:57:09it was on smackdown a week ago when he was able to survive alistair black carmelo hayes and la night we know what happened with la night as he was in position for the leaping elbow before
00:57:21bronson reed and bron breaker arrived randy orton had an all-time moment with the mid-air rko
00:57:28of carmelo hayes on to la night to earn his ticket
00:57:32the big jumps against the big man
00:57:35sammy zane defeated bron breakers dom mysterio and penta back on june 9th on monday night raw head
00:57:42he's had enough already i remember historically randy being furious any time anybody ever chopped him
00:57:48sammy zane no care though
00:57:51and randy was quick to get out of the way
00:57:55he saw just out of the corner of his eye coming his way
00:57:58those eyes of the viper just narrowed a little
00:58:01and then this may well backfire on sammy zane who started out red hot tonight
00:58:07that's the last thing you want
00:58:10are the intense focused eyes of the viper
00:58:14request with the focus of sammy zane right now because carrying cross of late has been
00:58:19whispering severe negativity into the ears of sammy zane consistently telling him he's not good enough
00:58:26to beat the very top tier of competitors in wwe and that clearly includes randy orton
00:58:35yeah cross has a way of doing it
00:58:37oh
00:58:39referee missed that that was a poke in the eye you can tell randy irritated by those charts
00:58:44oh and the uppercut from orton as well
00:58:47and now starting to listen to those sadistic demons wait
00:58:51one for good measure
00:58:54returning the favor is sammy zane who is not holding back at all here
00:58:59in his quest to progress in the king of the ring tour
00:59:03oh and he
00:59:05gets rid of his leg and slams him down right into the apron
00:59:08oh you knew it was only a matter of time
00:59:12monitors went bursting flying everywhere
00:59:15went bursting
00:59:16the back of sammy zane you could hear the thud
00:59:20you could see the spine of zane connecting right on the front of that monitor
00:59:24and he's barely moved since
00:59:26shaking those hands trying to get a little feeling back at him
00:59:30you could see him arching up after that impact on our reinforced
00:59:34announced desk
00:59:36and orton's going back to the wall
00:59:38oh man
00:59:40he's bent the entire front shield of the desk with zane's body
00:59:46semi-final action king of the ring
00:59:56what did you say about the look in the eye of the viper
01:00:00i'll tell you right now a chop is no fun at the best of times
01:00:04it rarely beats anybody
01:00:06but it is just highly irritated the viper
01:00:08he was going for the hat trick
01:00:10and sammy is fighting his way out of it
01:00:12well sammy's now scrambling
01:00:14and he denies in the steel steps but gives return fire
01:00:18head of the viper bouncing off the steel here
01:00:22now the referee is counting here up to a five
01:00:26both competitors need to keep an eye on this
01:00:30double count out is doing nobody anything
01:00:32oh sammy was going to give him some of his own medicine
01:00:36but instead randy slams his head right into the announce desk
01:00:40and it felt quite good natured a little earlier but that is all out of the window now
01:00:46and that bodes badly for sammy zane because when the viper is unrepentant as he is now
01:00:54that is when he's at his most dangerous
01:01:04intense action out onto the floor now carries over back in the ring here in our semi-final king of the ring
01:01:10three
01:01:12four
01:01:14five
01:01:16i don't know that the crowd knew exactly
01:01:18what they were going to get
01:01:20in terms of two guys
01:01:22who were so respectful
01:01:24in the ring prior to the semi-final
01:01:26match shaking hands
01:01:28but there has been a deep level
01:01:30of brutality to what we're seeing here
01:01:32it's just the kind of
01:01:34competitors these two
01:01:36are combined with the
01:01:38kind of stakes
01:01:40at the very top of the card in wwe
01:01:42you shake hands
01:01:44you wish each other
01:01:46oh there's those chops again
01:01:48the best but you realize it is dog eat dog
01:01:50nobody does you favors
01:01:52when it comes to the main events here on smackdown and raw
01:01:56both men
01:02:06spending time talking about why it will be them who is king of the ring
01:02:10as sammy again the damage has been done to his back
01:02:14just in the last few minutes alone
01:02:16sammy came out with a strategy
01:02:18putting pedal to the metal
01:02:20trying to get a hot start on
01:02:22orton the issue being orton just
01:02:24rode through all of it
01:02:26and does what he does best
01:02:28taking control and now perhaps
01:02:30looking to apply some
01:02:32severe punishment in the form
01:02:34of that garvin stomp
01:02:44and this is just the pace
01:02:46at which randy orton excels
01:02:48a wounded opponent
01:02:50and all the time in the world
01:02:52to target those weakest
01:02:54smallest of joints
01:02:56bullseye every time
01:02:58randy orton is having it his way right now
01:03:09against sammy zane
01:03:11in this king of the ring tournament
01:03:13semi-final
01:03:14winner advances to knight of champions in riyadh
01:03:18to try to become king of the ring
01:03:20such a fast start from sammy zane
01:03:22but once orton powered his way through that
01:03:24it is the power of randy orton
01:03:26of randy orton that is taking control
01:03:28here
01:03:29and zane with the movement once again
01:03:31trying to get some footway
01:03:33back into this match
01:03:35and you can see him trying to gather himself
01:03:37after he took such damage on our announce table
01:03:40yeah what multiple slams to the back
01:03:42oh and a big elbow from zane
01:03:45here's randy runs right into it
01:03:47confidence building moments for sammy zane
01:03:49you take the kind of punishment
01:03:50to orton stronger zane
01:03:52and you take control of the match
01:03:54oh he's trying for the blue thunder bomb
01:03:56but instead
01:03:57orton driving down the elbows to the back of his neck
01:04:00and then delivering the big clothesline
01:04:03and another
01:04:04sammy zane is no powerhouse
01:04:06and the size of randy orton
01:04:08oh a scoop power slam
01:04:09the issue there that is 280 pounds of randy orton
01:04:14the biggest he's ever been
01:04:16and sammy zane felt every ounce of that frame
01:04:20i don't know that sammy realizes the position he put himself in
01:04:25oh
01:04:26graphing DDT
01:04:28the viper is feeling it
01:04:30a little emphasis on that DDT
01:04:33perhaps more so than usual
01:04:35and randy orton sees his place in the final
01:04:39he gave the warning to everybody
01:04:42to cody
01:04:43to jay
01:04:44and spelled it out for sammy
01:04:47oh and sammy gathers himself
01:04:49just enough
01:04:50to get out of harm's way
01:04:52oh the gathered is the right way
01:04:55certainly scrambled out of there in a hurry
01:04:57unfortunately for him we
01:04:59does not appear to have his wits about him
01:05:01and why would he after the beating he's already taken
01:05:03time and again our reinforced announced desk has become the weapon of choice
01:05:10but sammy able to get back on his feet
01:05:12and sammy delivers some of his own medicine to the viper
01:05:19can you believe that where did he find the strength
01:05:22i don't know if i've ever seen anybody return the favor to the viper quite like that
01:05:27sammy zayn is tapping into something very special here
01:05:32these guys are extending themselves with so much on the line
01:05:36semi-final king of the ring
01:05:38as that left shoulder runs flush into the post
01:05:42and now sammy has his desired target lined up
01:05:48orton is walked orton is defenseless
01:05:51oh but instead of hallouba
01:05:53another scoop power slam
01:05:55the viper hooks the leg for the win
01:05:58and sammy survives at two and change
01:06:01just when you drop your guard
01:06:03that is when randy orton is at his most dangerous
01:06:06those reflexes are unsurpassed
01:06:10tremendous instincts
01:06:12and in the nick of time pulling out that power slam
01:06:14on sammy zayn
01:06:16who thought he was just about to punch his ticket to react
01:06:20well you saw the diamonds in that king's crown
01:06:23remember the winner of king of the ring gets a championship opportunity at summer slam
01:06:29but to do that you gotta win here
01:06:32right now
01:06:33to make it to the finals next week
01:06:36zayn follows him up looking for the hallouba
01:06:39and warden just gets away
01:06:42and look at his right leg come up there for an extra moment
01:06:47rko of town

01:06:53wow
01:06:54was this the moment randy going for the rko and finally that blue thunder bomb
01:07:08begging for a fast count
01:07:11it wasn't quite fast enough for sammy zayn
01:07:15but sammy zayn can still finish it here
01:07:18back and forth they go
01:07:21the ebb and flow
01:07:23the tides of combat
01:07:25we have seen it
01:07:26between zayn and orton
01:07:29zayn having to dig deeper than he's ever done before
01:07:32if he's gonna pull this off
01:07:35oh

01:14:18regardless who wins you have to think that this money in the back naomi will be lurking and ready
01:14:24to pass great rivalry between those two as for another heated rivalry ones that lasted for over
01:14:30a decade now john cena will defend against cm punk at night of champions the recent verbal assaults
01:14:39between these two is really a complexity to them that's born of such a rich deep shared history
01:14:50yin and yang
01:14:52two seemingly opposite forces that in truth complement and interconnect with the other
01:15:01two entities in constant flux and transformation
01:15:05totally interdependent to exist john cena and cm punk
01:15:11yin and yang from whitstewbury massachusetts john cena the clean-cut untouchable chosen one
01:15:26if you want some come get some a decorated champion
01:15:31a valiant in-ring competitor and above all else a man of the people and after more than two decades in
01:15:41the spotlight an icon who once set the standard of hustle loyalty and respect
01:15:47the loud defiant voice of the voiceless
01:16:01the rebel who was never meant to be king i've been the best ever since day one there's one thing
01:16:07you're better at than i am john and that's kissing ass
01:16:10alexis raging against the system brought imagination but never enough to fill the whole deep within
01:16:19his desire to sit alone atop the summit would lead to bitterness and resentment self-destruction and
01:16:26banishment but time
01:16:31time changes everything
01:16:35yin becomes yang yang becomes yin
01:16:41in an infinite dance struggling to find harmony contrasting dualities destined to be bound
01:16:50and the battle in which these two have been endlessly engaged finds itself with new motivation
01:16:57that title has corrupted you i've been the victim of an abusive relationship
01:17:05because all you've ever done there for 25 years
01:17:10is sit on your ass and watch me be great
01:17:15instead of a graceful exit johnson is detached and disillusioned
01:17:19as vowed to ruin wrestling for everyone while cm punk has returned from exile a beacon of hope and change
01:17:30a new face for the company he once vowed to burn down
01:17:37the balance has shifted
01:17:39life becomes shadow shadow now stands in the sun
01:17:46i have shut your mouth and beaten your best
01:17:50you can't beat me when i'm at my best you never could i won the title i left with the title you're trying to follow in my footsteps

01:18:11you can't see me
01:18:13i see through you
01:18:16yin and yang positioned once again upon opposing shorts
01:18:24for a final reckoning
