00:00And Aldis had added up and said, hey Andrade, you want a tag match?
00:04Find a partner.
00:05What a partner he found, Ray Phoenix.
00:07And they lit things up a few weeks ago, Wade.
00:10Yes, they did.
00:11They have tagged one time previously beating Los Garza,
00:16who we just saw win the AAA tag title.
00:19That was back in May.
00:21These two showed some immediate chemistry together.
00:25And they're going to need that tonight because DIY, our chemistry personified.
00:30It pays to be popular when you need an emergency tag partner.
00:57That's a call through your list of contacts and come up with Ray Phoenix.
01:03Hands off, Andrade.
01:07Jaw-dropping superstar.
01:09Ray Phoenix has been, since his debut on SmackDown,
01:13he's been cutting through the entire roster with electrifying moves.
01:18And we should see some more of that imminently.
01:23So here we go.
01:24Ciampa starting things off against Andrade.
01:27Big opportunity for both these tag teams tonight.
01:31A win could propel them to a tag team championship opportunity.
01:34Remember, Street Profits defend against the Wyatt Six later tonight.
01:37Yeah, the whole division has really been thrown into chaos since the return of the Wyatt Six,
01:43who attacked pretty much every single tag team on the list.
01:47We'll see if they grab Golder later on tonight against the Street Profits.
01:52But whoever wins that match will need a number one contender, sir.
01:57Put your foot down, lads.
01:59There's a double team, and Andrade now dropped to a hold again.
02:02Phoenix slides outside the ring.
02:05And here comes Andrade now.
02:06Oh, and a double team by Andrade and Phoenix.
02:09High caliber action.
02:20Oh!
02:22Phoenix!
02:23Andrade!
02:24Fly and take control of this tag team match!
02:27Man, Phoenix and Andrade, so much fun to watch, Wade.
02:41Yeah, crazy level of synchronicity this quickly.
02:44Despite having one match under their belts, they're looking like a veteran tag team.
02:50Well, the veteran tag team, DIY, completely on the back foot.
02:57And here's part of the problem with being thrown into this kind of match.
03:00If you DIY, you simply didn't know who you were competing against.
03:03Well, maybe you keep your mouth shut.
03:04How about that?
03:05Maybe you stop running around trying to be locker room leaders,
03:08take control of the entire tag team division.
03:11This is what they get.
03:12I don't mind that at all.
03:13They tag team division does need some leadership.
03:17It has been a mess for months, although I will admit DIY have kind of been the main instigator.
03:26Ray Phoenix, so much fun to watch.
03:29Mexico City, Mexico, 5'10", 202 pounds.
03:33The high flyer, of course, the brother with Penta.
03:36Great tag team with him and the Lucha brothers over the years.
03:39Perhaps explains why Ray Phoenix is so quick to fit in
03:42when it comes to tag team wrestling alongside Andrade.
03:45Those years and years experience you mentioned alongside Penta coming in handy tonight.
03:51Yeah, Gargano makes the tag.
03:52Phoenix Nuttin realizing it.
03:54Johnny Gargano delivers that slingshot spear as DIY takes control.
03:59Yeah, and this is kind of what I expected.
04:03All the miles on the clock for DIY, they've won gold together in NXT.
04:08They've won gold together here on SmackDown, and this is that experience factor now kicking in.
04:13And the initial burst from Ray Phoenix has suddenly fallen flat.
04:19And now Gargano tagged the champ of frequent tags in and out now from DIY.
04:23They're a precision tag team, as I mentioned before.
04:26Numerous tag team champions together in the past.
04:29Running double these from Gargano.
04:30Tampa fouls it up with a big kick.
04:33And suddenly Gargano and Tampa dominating.
04:38Step for step, complete control and domination from DIY.
04:43And now in a real bad way is this Luchador.
04:46Cover now by Tampa.
04:48And a kick out.
04:49Phoenix stays alive.
04:51Come on!
04:53Come on!
04:53Come on!
04:54Come on!
04:55Come on!
04:56Come on!
04:57Come on!
04:58Come on!
04:59Come on!
05:00Come on!
05:01Come on!
05:02We are back on Friday Night SmackDown.
05:07It's DIY against Andrade and the partner he picked for this matchup, Ray Phoenix.
05:11But right now Gargano and Champa dominating frequent tags in and out of the ring.
05:16Interesting to see Gargano and Andrade back in the same ring together back in 2018.
05:22Those two had the match of the year in NXT.
05:25Oh!
05:26Goodness!
05:26Oh my god, that landed by Gargano was absolutely horrific.
05:30Landed on the steps with the shin.
05:32Hoping he's okay.
05:33And for the moment at least.
05:34Oh!
05:35Jumpers gotta go it alone!
05:36Oh!
05:37Now Ray Phoenix picking up the pace.
05:39Champa down and an opportunity now to make a tag.
05:41To Wade's point.
05:42Some concern perhaps for Johnny Gargano who landed hard.
05:46It's about as awkward a landing as you can have over the top rope.
05:50Attracting those steel steps on the way down.
05:52Can it easy?
05:53Throw something in his knee.
05:54Oh!
05:55Obviously, well, he may be a bit injured but it did not prevent him from pulling Andrade.
06:00Oh!
06:01Off the apron so he couldn't make the tag.
06:03Cover now by Champa.
06:05That's the arm and the leg.
06:06Great cover by Champa.
06:07Great kick out by Ray Phoenix.
06:09Hey, Wade.
06:10A new era is born.
06:11Jurassic World Rebirth takes you to the most dangerous island on earth.
06:15Only in theaters Wednesday.
06:17Talk about dangerous Champa news.
06:20No one's dumb enough to go where we're going.
06:26That's kind of our specialty.
06:27Hang on!
06:28Let's go.
06:29Ready PG-13.
06:30What were you saying about being a tremendous broadcast journalist?
06:31We take cues here, pal.
06:32My headset temporarily wasn't working, Michael Cole.
06:35Did you put the plug on me or something?
06:36Taking the fight now again to Ray Phoenix.
06:39Tremendous tag team battle here tonight by Michael Cole.
06:41How crucial was that when Johnny Gargano pulled Andrade off the apron just when Phoenix was
07:10finally going to get that tag.
07:13Well, Johnny wrestling, apparently feigning a knee injury.
07:17No, no.
07:18He's still shaking it off.
07:19It's legit.
07:20I'm telling you.
07:21He is hurt.
07:22Ray Phoenix walking the tightrope and connecting with Champa.
07:27Phoenix is a human highlight reel.
07:29Johnny Gargano, to his credit, battling through the pain here with that left knee injury.
07:35Still wanting to get back in the fight, perhaps.
07:38Because Champa is down and maybe out.
07:41Andrade looking for a tag.
07:42Gargano's legal.
07:43So is Andrade.
07:44And Johnny Gargano came up a bit.
07:47Gipped that turn.
07:48Oh!
07:49Dragon screw by Andrade.
07:51Right on that bad knee.
07:52How small was that from Andrade?
07:55And now the favor fully on the side of Andrade and Phoenix.
07:59And Gargano howling in pain.
08:02Well, Gargano should not even be in the fight at this point.
08:06It tells you what a competitor he is.
08:08Simply has no quit in his soul.
08:10And the third generation superstar Andrade went for the Meteora.
08:14Gargano rolled out of harm's way.
08:16Slingshot spear caught by Andrade.
08:18Oh!
08:19And what a elbow to the back of the neck.
08:21Down goes Gargano off that reverse tornado DDT.
08:30And a kick out of two by Johnny.
08:33Well, hats off to Johnny Gargano and his unrelenting passion for this game.
08:39You might not like his attitude of late.
08:41But you have to respect a man fighting past the pain barrier here.
08:48Just how much it means to guys like Champa and Johnny Gargano.
08:53To gritty dudes who've come up the hard way.
08:55But that ain't gonna help you now.
08:57Andrade lands, rolls through.
08:59And doubles him!
09:01For the win!
09:03Champa!
09:04Cover!
09:05And a kick out.
09:06And I believe using his knees hurt Johnny Gargano's knee even more.
09:10We're in the midst of a tremendous tag team matchup here tonight between DIY and Andrade.
09:30Andrade.
09:33Just four veterans who simply want to get to the top in a hurry.
09:38And they're gonna do whatever they can to get there.
09:41And Roddy and Champa really one on one now.
09:44You've got Gargano injured outside the rank Phoenix as well.
09:47You've basically got four hobbled competitors at this point.
09:51It's about who's anywhere near 100%.
09:56And right now, it looks like that man is Andrade.
10:00A good one.
10:01A good one.
10:02One, two, three, three, three.
10:03Tag made.
10:04Here comes Ray Phoenix.
10:05The high flyer up to the top rope.
10:06What a splash!
10:07Cover!
10:09Top rope, what a splash.
10:13Cover.
10:15Teppler kicks it too.
10:17Really a lot of respect shown to the Hall of Famer, Eddie Guerrero.
10:21What a legend, not just in Mexico, but around the world.
10:25Yeah, watch the frog splash here by Ray Phoenix.
10:29Right to the midsection of Ciampa, who just about kicked out.
10:33And Ciampa at this point needs to notice,
10:35not much chance of Johnny Gargano, his tag partner,
10:39giving a lot of help from it.
10:41Gargano really favoring his left knee as he
10:43tries to get some blood flowing back into it up on the apron.
10:46Ciampa exchanging blows with the Phoenix.
10:49Gargano can barely stand up,
10:51and the same is probably true of Ciampa,
10:53although he's battling on.
10:55Oh, both men connect, tags made,
11:10Gargano and Andrade legal.
11:15Phoenix runs into a super kick.
11:17Andrade with a kick of his own.
11:19Ciampa with one-two.
11:20Yeah, this is the point of the match
11:21where all technical stuff goes out of the window.
11:24It's a slugfest, and all bodies have been dropped.
11:32A delighted WWE Universe in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
11:37on their feet for a tremendous tag team matchup.
11:40And what a tag team matchup this has been here
11:51on Friday Night SmackDown.
11:53DIY against Andrade and Rey Fenix.
11:57What an absolute banger,
11:59and it's still ongoing despite the wall wounds shown
12:02by all four men.
12:03Andrade is suffering a knee injury early on in the matchup.
12:06Gargano has fought through.
12:09Andrade with a chop.
12:17Looking for something huge here
12:19to finally put this one away.
12:22But of course, there's fight left in Johnny Wrestling.
12:28What are they going to do here?
12:30High-risk maneuver.
12:30Gargano and Andrade lays on his feet.
12:32On his front of his knees.
12:35Just crazy athleticism and reflexes from this man.
12:39Watch out.
12:41Oh, goodness, stuck it.
12:45Tampa.
12:47No, Gargano actually kicked out
12:48before Tampa got in to make the save.
12:50Gargano tried to roll out the way.
12:52He didn't roll far enough,
12:53and basically got a double stump to the chest
12:56as his reward.
12:59Phoenix using the ropes to his advantage.
13:02Ray Phoenix going to fly!
13:07So much acceleration and so much impact
13:10taking the Sicilian psychopath.
13:15Tommaso jumper down, and then there were two.
13:18And then Gargano turns his attention
13:20to an old familiar foe, Andrade.
13:24His place is electric for this tag team match.
13:27What an absolute unexpected treat
13:30these four have thrown on here.
13:32Uh-oh.
13:39Phoenix makes the tag.
13:40He's legal.
13:41I don't think Johnny Gargano saw that.
13:44He's going to know now.
13:46Phoenix.
13:47Incredible.
13:48Turn that into a German suplex.
13:49Fridging cover now.
13:51Almost had him.
13:52What a move by Ray Phoenix.
13:54Oh, man.
13:55If that pin had been a little more crisp,
13:58that surely would have been the end there.
14:01What a massive leverage.
14:02German suplex there,
14:04but perhaps after the beating Phoenix has taken,
14:06didn't quite have the...
14:07the cool strength to stick the pitch.
14:19Hell, Phoenix.
14:23With Gargano up on his shoulders,
14:25Andrade top rope,
14:26Cantla sends him spilling out to the floor.
14:29Gargano, roll through.
14:30Is it enough for the win?
14:32Almost had him.
14:33Two and a half.
14:34That's when Phoenix was trying
14:35for that Mexican muscle buster.
14:37Went up.
14:38Phoenix hurt his knee.
14:40Gargano capitalized.
14:42Tag to Ciampa.
14:43Nailing that poison rana,
14:45and now Ciampa looking to capitalize on this
14:48and punish the bed.
14:49Looking for fairytale ending.
14:50Gargano with a kick to the face.
14:52Down goes Phoenix.
14:53Cover off the double team.
14:55Somehow Phoenix is in it.
14:57Somehow Ray Phoenix is alive.
15:00And Ciampa...
15:01Looking to put Phoenix away.
15:05Oh!
15:07Project Ciampa!
15:09Cover!
15:09Andrade!
15:10Breaks things up!
15:13Perfect timing from Andrade,
15:16because this one was as good as over.
15:19Just a volley of offense thrown the way
15:22of Ray Phoenix.
15:24Oh!
15:25Andrade caught him with a back elbow.
15:27Now, Ciampa now gonna send Andrade to the ropes.
15:30Kick drops Andrade to his knees,
15:32and now Tommaso Ciampa looking to put Ray Phoenix away.
15:35Exposes his knee.
15:36Into the corner.
15:37Nobody home!
15:40Phoenix!
15:42Tremendous balance!
15:44Ciampa up on the top rope!
15:45Tag made to Andrade, who's legal!
15:47Things suddenly looking bleak!
15:50Andrade!
15:51Oh!
15:53Andrade!
15:55The message!
15:58Andrade!
15:59Andrade!
15:59Andrade!
16:04Here are your winners,
16:07Ray Phoenix and Andrade!
16:11Absolutely incredible action
16:17here in this tag team matchup.
16:20Oh, man, that match was an absolute treat
16:24for all of us.
16:25Complete pandemonium
16:26from start to finish.
16:29And what a victory
16:30for this team
16:31who are now basically 2-0.
16:35This is Mexican muscle buster here
16:37from Ray Phoenix.
16:39We've seen that in the past
16:41that you called it, Cole.
16:42The message,
16:43the one-two whammy.
16:45Bucks Ciampa away
16:46as Ray Phoenix
16:47plays guard on the outside.
16:50Ray Phoenix calls it
16:51the Blackfire driver,
16:53and he connected with it here tonight
16:55to allow Andrade to hit the message
16:57and once again victorious
16:58for this high-fly
17:00and exciting tag team
17:01of Andrade and Phoenix
17:03on Friday night SmackDown.
17:08Ladies and gentlemen,
17:09tomorrow night
17:11appears to be the final confrontation
17:14in one of the most heated rivalries
17:16in WWE history.
17:18We look at Cena versus Punk next.
17:215, 5, 6, 7, 8
17:23Let them know we're on the line
17:26Now in zero every day
17:27You know that we never play
17:29Ladies and gentlemen,
17:32we are in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
17:33tonight for an unbelievable weekend
17:35of WWE action.
17:37Tonight it's Friday night SmackDown
17:39in this capital city.
17:42Well, John Cena will be here live
17:43a bit later on tonight.
17:46But he talked about his retirement tour
17:48on The Late Show
17:49with Stephen Colbert
17:50this past Tuesday.
17:54So we have Cena sucks
17:56but we also have Let's Go Cena.
18:01All right, hold on, hold on, hold on.
18:03Let's Go Cena.
18:03If you'll indulge me.
18:06Let's Go Cena!
18:08Cena sucks!
18:09Let's Go Cena!
18:11Cena sucks!
18:13Let's Go Cena!
18:15Cena sucks!
18:16I now pronounce you full WWE fans!
18:19Congratulations!
18:22Wow.
18:23Wow.
18:24Oh.
18:26I can't believe there's less than six months left
18:29in John Cena's retirement tour.
18:31A lot of people will be happy
18:33when John Cena retires
18:34based on his attitude.
18:35However, they won't be happy
18:37if he retires with the WWE title intact.
18:40Well, tomorrow night,
18:41it is our main event.
18:42It is the culmination
18:43of one of the greatest rivalries
18:44in the history of WWE.
18:46Night of Champions.
18:48Cena versus Punk.
18:53Yin and Yang.
18:57Two seemingly opposite forces
18:59that in truth
19:00complement and interconnect
19:01with the other.
19:04Two entities in constant flux
19:06and transformation.
19:09Totally interdependent to exist.
19:12John Cena
19:13and CM Punk.
19:16Yin and Yang.
19:19From Whitstewberry, Massachusetts.
19:23John Cena.
19:25The clean-cut, untouchable chosen one.
19:28If you want some, come get some.
19:33A decorated champion.
19:37A valiant in-ring competitor
19:39and above all else,
19:40a man of the people.
19:42And after more than two decades
19:44in the spotlight,
19:45an icon who once set the standard
19:47of hustle, loyalty, and respect.
19:50From Chicago, Illinois.
19:56From Chicago, Illinois.
19:58CM Punk.
20:00The loud, defiant, voice of the voiceless.
20:03The rebel who was never meant to be king.
20:07I've been the best ever since day one.
20:09There's one thing you're better at than I am, John.
20:12And that's kissing ass.
20:14Raging against the system
20:17brought imagination,
20:19but never enough to fill the hole deep within.
20:22His desire to sit alone atop the summit
20:25would lead to bitterness and resentment,
20:28self-destruction,
20:29and banishment.
20:31But time.
20:34Time changes everything.
20:36Yin becomes yang.
20:41Yang becomes yin.
20:44In an infinite dance,
20:46struggling to find harmony.
20:49Contrasting dualities,
20:51destined to be bound.
20:54And the battle in which these two
20:55have been endlessly engaged
20:56finds itself with new motivation.
21:00That title has corrupted you.
21:04I've been the victim
21:05of an abusive relationship.
21:08Because all you've ever done there
21:10for 25 years
21:12is sit on your ass
21:15and watch me be great.
21:19Instead of a graceful exit,
21:20John Cena detached
21:21and disillusioned
21:23has vowed to ruin wrestling
21:25for everyone.
21:29While CM Punk has returned from exile,
21:31a beacon of hope and change.
21:33A new face for the company
21:36he once vowed to burn down.
21:40The balance has shifted.
21:44Light becomes shadow.
21:46Shadow now stands in the sun.
21:48I have shut your mouth
21:52and beaten your best.
21:55You can't beat me.
21:56When I'm at my best,
21:58you never could.
21:59I won the title.
22:01I left with the title.
22:03You're trying to follow
22:04in my footsteps.
22:05I hate this idea
22:08that you're the best
22:09in the world.
22:10You're not.
22:11I'm the greatest of all time.
22:14The truth is,
22:15punk,
22:16I'm jealous of you.
22:19I am jealous
22:20that you have
22:21conned these people
22:22into believing the myth
22:24that you're the best
22:25in the world.
22:26Remember who gave you
22:28the stage
22:29for your pipe bomb, pal?
22:34What have you done
22:35with it since then, huh?
22:37Because you change
22:39your values
22:40as much as I change
22:42my T-shirts.

23:06Yin and Yang.
23:07Positioned once again
23:09upon opposing shores.
23:13for a final reckoning.
23:20Well, ladies and gentlemen,

23:24here on Friday Night SmackDown.
23:25But, Wade, you and I
23:26are going to have the privilege
23:27to be able to call
23:28the final match
23:29in this great rivalry.
23:31All mine.
23:31It's been incredible.
23:32I mean, go back 14 years
23:33and it was...
23:34Well, uh...
23:36Okay.
23:43R-Truth.
23:47Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
23:49What's up?
23:50What's up?
23:51Let me tell you what's up.
23:53I am Ron Killings.
23:56I am the truth.
23:58The whole truth.
23:59And nothing but the truth.
24:02Now put some respect on my name.
24:05John Cena.
24:06I ain't letting it slide.
24:08I ain't letting it ride.
24:09Get out of here right now.
24:11I want you right now.
24:13Come on, John Cena.
24:14Where you at?
24:16Let's go, buddy.
24:19Oh, truth.
24:20Let's go.
24:21Uh-oh.
24:24Truth, you better turn around.
24:28Black Mass.
24:31From Alistair Black.
24:33Who's been interrupted two weeks in a row
24:37by a ranting R-Truth.
24:43I told you, Ron.
24:45You have to drink from this cup.
24:48And I guess in a weird way,
24:50we're even now, Ron.
24:51Why, Alistair, why?
25:00Well, Alistair Black
25:02had warned R-Truth.
25:06Black Mass took out truth
25:08here tonight.
25:09Hey, Street Profits,
25:27mind if I talk to you guys
25:28for a second?
25:29Yo, what's good?
25:30So, in just a few minutes,
25:31you have the unenviable task
25:33of defending your WWE Tag Team titles
25:35against the Wyatt Six.
25:37What's your game plan?
25:39You know what, Byron?
25:40Saudi Arabia.
25:42Let me ask you a question.
25:44When's the last time
25:45that the Street Profits
25:46have had Tag Team gold?
25:48Four years, Byron.
25:51And we had to go through fire
25:53to get back to the mountaintop.
25:54So the Wyatt Six,
25:55or any tag team,
25:57must be out their damn mind
25:58if they think they're gonna
25:59take these Tag Team championships
26:01from us anytime soon.
26:03Look, fam.
26:04We the class of this division.
26:05People keep asking dogs,
26:07why are you and Tess
26:07defending your titles
26:08against the Wyatts?
26:09The answer is simple.
26:11They the only threat we got.
26:12So we approach that threat,
26:14and we eliminate that threat.
26:17You heard what he said, Byron.
26:18It's Friday.
26:20So that means it's time
26:21to go to work.
26:22Let's go, baby.
26:27Boys, look.
26:29What's understood
26:30doesn't have to be explained.
26:32But if need be,
26:33I got y'all back.
26:35I appreciate that.
26:36Yeah.
26:36Go take care of business.
26:37I know y'all got this.
26:39Mm-hmm.
26:49Tag team championship time.
26:52with a combined weight of 492 pounds.
27:06They are the WWE Tag Team Champions.
27:13Introducing first,

27:19they are the WWE Tag Team Champions,
27:25Angelo Dawkins,
27:27Montez Ford,

27:32And the way the Profits
27:34have their work cut out
27:36for them tonight.
27:38This is a team
27:39who have been transformed
27:40since returning back in January.
27:43It took them all the way
27:43to the gold.
27:44If anyone could stop

29:15Great podcast
29:16with Cody Rhodes
29:17and Kevin Owens.
29:19Check it out
29:20right now.
29:20You're feeling real tough
29:39right about now, huh?
29:40No, but
29:44if you truly are his friend,
29:46you'll tell him
29:47to stay away.
29:47Besides,
29:48as far as I'm concerned,
29:50his debt is paid.
29:52You know,
29:52I know truth.
29:55Love,
29:56next time you're
29:57looking for payment,
29:58why don't you do it
29:59face to face with him?
30:00I'm pretty sure
30:01it will be a lot different.
30:03Sure it will be.
30:17This guy.
30:18Look,
30:19who am I
30:20to tell you
30:20what to do,
30:21okay?
30:21But if it was me,
30:23I'd mind my own business.
30:25Especially when it comes
30:26to this whole
30:26R-Truth-wrong-killing
30:27situation, man.
30:28If you're really
30:28his boy,
30:29you let him handle
30:30his business
30:30and you stay
30:31out the way
30:32before you end up
30:33a casualty.
30:35Melo,
30:36you should walk away now.
30:39I get it.
