00:00You mentioned it earlier, Tiffany Stratton came through that war in the trenches at WrestleMania against Charlotte Flair.
00:08We did see a very different side to Tiffany, but this is a whole new level.
00:13Yeah, a whole different ballgame here.
00:15Last woman standing against one of the most vicious women in WWE.
00:19Oh no, Tiffany rolls out of harm's way into the screen.
00:23Goes Nia Jax and now Stratton has an opportunity.
00:25Well, you get an opportunity like that, you simply have to make it count.
00:30And Tiffany does not need asking twice.
00:32Where's she going?
00:35Off the kendo stick.
00:37Tiffany Stratton now with one of those equipment cases.
00:41And uses that as a weapon into the knees of Jax.
00:44And Jax now floored by the champ.
00:47Those things are damn heavy.
00:50About 400 pounds, those equipment boxes.
00:52Nia Jax just ate all of it and wants no further pop.
01:01Although that heavy, good thing they have wheels.
01:03As Nia Jax now is making her way down the ramp.
01:06Tiffany Stratton still on the attack.
01:07And this could be the opportunity, Wade, that Tiffany Stratton needed.
01:11Just keep throwing whatever you've got the weight of Nia Jax.
01:15And it's astounding that Stratton has bounced back at all.
01:22Yeah, we're learning a lot about the champion tonight.
01:24The resilience of Tiffany Stratton.
01:26Again, last woman standing.
01:33No pinfalls, just submissions.
01:36Countouts or disqualifications.
01:38Nia Jax back to her feet and just bulldozing over Stratton.
01:46What time is it?
01:48What time is it?
01:49We're now mocking Tippy Time.
01:51Definitely not Tippy Time right now.
01:54Tippy Time may well be about to end for good.
01:59Now Stratton driven into the barricade.
02:05And the official once again will begin to count.
02:07No, Tiffany quickly back to her feet this time.
02:09Still chair in hand.
02:11Completely legal.
02:12Under last woman standing rules.
02:15Chair to the spine.
02:19Nia Jax with a steel chair to the ribs.
02:29One to the spine.
02:29Drops the champion.
02:31Tiffany brought the chair into the match.
02:32Perhaps she wishes she didn't.
02:35Both women going to be hurting so bad at this point.
02:38But clearly got the worst of it.
02:40And this could be the end of things here for Tiffany Stratton.
02:43If Nia Jax hits this.
02:45The biggest weapon in the match.
02:47Annihilator.
02:49And Nia is not done yet.
02:56One more time.
02:58This time with a steel chair.
03:02Annihilator to the steel chair.
03:04And Tiffany Stratton maybe down and out.
03:07Completely splattered.
03:09Tiffany Stratton.
03:10Count of five.
03:19Halfway there.
03:20Halfway to the championship for Jax.
03:22Count of six now.
03:23Count of seven.
03:24Stratton.
03:25Trying to pull herself up at the ropes at a count of eight.
03:28A count of nine.
03:29Stratton makes it to her feet.
03:30Jax catches her in the ribs again with a kendo stick.
03:33Right on that weak spot.
03:35Although saying that where is a weak spot not on the body at Stratton.
03:39After this level of abuse.
03:40And Jax.
03:42Although she's taking a lot herself.
03:43He's looking fresh as a daisy.
03:47You can feel the champ glancing up at that.
03:49That is truly terrifying.
03:51And Nia Jax setting up the table now.
03:54Looking for the final blow.
03:56Uh-oh.
04:03And Tiffany on her shoulders.
04:05Nia's going to climb the ropes here.
04:08Going to go up at least one more to the second.
04:11Looking for a Samoan drop through the table.
04:14Looks like she did to the announce table earlier on tonight.
04:17Tiffany though.
04:18Trying to slide down.
04:19Lands on her feet.
04:20Looking for a powerbomb.
04:22Oh no!
04:23Powerbomb through the table by Stratton.
04:26Bolt women are down.
04:32For the WWE Women's Championship.
04:42Count of five.
04:44Nia Jax beginning to stir.
04:46Count of six now.
04:48Who will make it back to their feet first?
04:50Count of seven.
04:51Count of eight.
04:53Count of nine.
04:54Nia Jax beats the count.
04:56So does Stratton.
04:57Both women up at nine and a half.
05:00Although up perhaps isn't the right word.
05:04Oh God.
05:07Well Naomi said earlier tonight.
05:09I'm going to pick my spot.
05:10Maybe it will be tonight.
05:12And there's Money in the Bank.
05:13Heading to the ring.
05:14Naomi.
05:15Maybe looking to cash in Money in the Bank.
05:17And if she dies.
05:18Because that means.
05:19I guess she'd be a part of the last woman standing match.
05:22But cash in didn't quite happen.
05:24Tiffany Stroh.
05:25Cut Naomi off of the pass.
05:27But she's going to use the Money in the Bank briefcase as a weapon.
05:31She knows very well how to do that.
05:33As she drives Jax into Naomi.
05:35Well yeah.
05:36Two for the price of one here.
05:37Jack.
05:38Stratton.
05:40Oh.
05:41Pretty a smooth salt.
05:47And now Jax is down.
05:49Naomi.
05:51Did not officially cash in.
05:53It was thwarted by Stratton.
05:55Brick second away from it.
05:58But the damage might be done here.
06:00Down to six.
06:01Nia Jax down and out.
06:02Stratton looking to retain the championship.
06:04Nia trying to make it back to her feet.
06:06One last gasp by Nia Jax.
06:08Just beats the count.
06:09You cannot keep Nia Jax down for ten.
06:13It is impossible.
06:15Too strong.
06:16Uh oh.
06:17Two tables.
06:18Perked outside the ring there.
06:20Nia Jax.
06:22Evil intentions.
06:23Looking for a suplex of Stratton.
06:25And Nia hung up on the top rope.
06:32Stratton.
06:34As dangerous a place as you can be for Jax.
06:37And using the briefcase.
06:39Jax threw both tables.
06:45Nia Jax is down and maybe out.
06:48Count of four.
06:51Count of five.
06:53Nia Jax yet to stir.
06:56She may be out.
06:57Jax may be out cold.
07:01Tiffany Stratton is the last woman standing.
07:04Here is your winner and still WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton.
07:18Well what an absolute car wreck of a match-off.
07:25The entire ringside area has been destroyed.
07:30But Tiffany Stratton showed the drive, the durability, the desire to retain the gold.
07:37The incredible performance tonight by the women's champion.
07:43And how that wasn't the end is beyond me.
07:46But this is the moment we thought history was about to be made.
07:50This Money in the Bank Naomi trying to cash in.
07:53Split second later it would have happened.
07:55And then Tiffany Stratton would use the Money in the Bank briefcase to her advantage.
08:01Driving Nia Jax with two tables.
08:04We learned a lot about Tiffany Stratton tonight.
08:07Tiffany Stratton is the last woman standing.
08:10Tiffany Stratton is still your WWE Women's Champion.
08:14Well what a hell of a match-up here tonight on Friday Night Smackdown.
08:23Wade, last woman standing.
08:25Tiffany Stratton impressive tonight.
08:27Incredible stuff from Stratton.
08:28Matches like that make guys like me feel so happy to be retired.
08:32And able to watch from the relative safety of this boot.
08:35Well ladies and gentlemen, a couple of programming notes.
08:37I want to remind everyone that this coming Monday night,
08:41Raw on Netflix has a special start time live from Pittsburgh.
08:44It'll be 6 o'clock Eastern, 3 o'clock on the West Coast in the United States.
08:49Again 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 p.m. Pacific for Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
08:54And then next week, Friday Night Smackdown, we'll move to two hours each and every week.
08:59Now we get ready for tomorrow night's Night of Champions.

09:10Where we'll see Cody Rhodes, the American Nightmare.
09:12Take on Randy Orton.
09:15The winner gets a world championship opportunity at SummerSlam.
09:19And not only that, United States Chad, the Samoan Werewolf.
09:24Jacob Batu puts it on the line against family member, former buddy, Solo Sikawa.
09:31Karrion Kross has been the devil on the shoulder of Sami Zayn for many months now.
09:37Finally, Sami Zayn has had enough.
09:40The underdog from the underground, Sami Zayn, will try to take out Karrion Kross live tomorrow night.
09:45And we just saw some carnage between Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax.
09:51We're getting even more tomorrow in a street fight.
09:55That's two powerhouses.
09:57Rhea, Bloody Ripley, and Raquel Rodriguez, who have so much history together.
10:02And even more bad blood.
10:04They go one-on-one tomorrow at Night of Champions.
10:06And tomorrow night at Night of Champions, we will crown the Queen of the Ring.
10:12Will it be the Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka from Monday Night Raw, or the Storm from Friday Night SmackDown, Jade Cargill?
10:18We'll find out the winner for the world title opportunity at SummerSlam.
10:22Hanging in the balance in the finals of Queen of the Ring.
10:2414 years after their history-making clash back in 2011, CM Punk and the WWE champ, John Cena, are going to do it again tomorrow night.
10:39WWE Championship on the line.
10:42Can CM Punk prevent John Cena from ruining wrestling?
10:47And here tonight, on Friday Night SmackDown, CM Punk is here.
10:54John Cena is here.
10:57They go face-to-face for the final time before Night of Champions next on Friday Night SmackDown.
11:033, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 6, 7, 8.
11:07Let them know we're on the way.
11:09Counting zeros every day.

11:52Of course, we just saw an unbelievable last woman standing match between Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax.
11:58Tiffany Stratton, still your WWE Women's Champion.
12:02Counting zeros every day.
12:03Counting zeros every day.
12:03You know that we never play it.
12:05Ayy...
12:06Time I've never been morning to play with.
12:08Money talking, it's my first language.
12:09Me and R.M. gang, we gangin'.
12:11Boss Lumba Union is in the rankin'.

12:24Blue one, blue one, blue one, blue one
12:28Blue, we're gonna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna...
14:03Please welcome the greatest of all time, the Never Seen 17, Gracing Riyad 1 Final Weekend.
14:19He is the last real champion, John Cena!
14:58What's the winner looks like?
15:00I am a winner.
15:07CM Punk is a loser because he's been out-cornered.
15:13He's been out-maneuvered.
15:15And he is out of tricks because I am a genius.
15:20Night of Champions is now a formality.
15:23And CM Punk can do nothing about it.
15:29So, I think you're untouchable.
15:42I'm untouchable, but I'm forcing you to feel it.
15:55Oh, ho, ho.
16:01I'm untouchable, but I'm forcing you to feel it.
16:06Well, I was beating my discipline.
16:08I was beating my discipline.
16:08I was giving it out to Jeff and I in a defensive position.
16:11It has to kick an anthem.
16:12Heavyweight-up man, but for the best, the best, the best, the best, the best.
16:15The microphone fan, who's beating the floor, is a new fight joint.
16:19Like a broken needle kid, you miss to the point.
16:22We dominate your conference with offense.
16:24It's no nonsense about people in kitchen reinforcement.
16:28We strike quick with hard kicks.
16:30Fucking nice things.
16:31Wait, John Cena looking in a mirror from like 20 years ago.
16:35I forgot how much I love this entrance thing.
16:42Although the outfit, maybe not so much.
16:44I forgot how much I love this entrance thing, taking over her, but still kicking in the rain.
16:49Word like, this is basic thuganomics, this is basic thuganomics, word like.
16:55I'm untouchable, but I'm forcing you to feel it.
17:00Word like, this is basic thuganomics, word like.
17:06I'm untouchable, but I'm forcing you to feel it.
17:10It's a condition of business, your lame vision of a underground physical image.
17:24Underneath, undermine your old typical image.
17:26Yo, yo, check it.
17:44This is basic thuganomics.
17:50Don't adjust your television set.
17:52Your eyes are working just right.
17:54This clown plagiarized my pipe bomb, so now I'm stealing word life.
18:03And you had to rip me off to cut your best promo.
18:07Just to distract from the fact that we all see you move in slow-mo.
18:17Remember when he used to rap?
18:18Yeah, you deserve all the criticism.
18:22You're like a T-Mu Macklemore, but with Mackle less rhythm.
18:30And he said, I'm a problem.
18:32He called me a player hater.
18:35Let's be honest.
18:37John Cena's bearing more talent than The Undertaker.
18:40That's why he's the champ, and he went and lost all his respects.
18:49But hey, John, I get it.
18:51I'd retire, too, if this place rehired my ex.
18:58If you never said your prayers, ate your vitamins, or fixed your bald spot, you wouldn't be a pro wrestler.
19:04You'd be a Boston mall cop.
19:11But hey, he gets good movie roles.
19:14That much is a fact.
19:16But then we see Batista act, and we realize that John ain't that.
19:21Same shirt, same hat.
19:26Man, your persona state, tragic.
19:28You're like a fish-bellied white Hulk Hogan, but somehow more problematic.
19:33Yo, yo, when it comes to best in the world, I'm your vessel, because millions chant my name,
19:55and at you, they chant, you can't wrestle.
19:58Get it in while you can.
20:14In six months, he'll be gone, and I'll still be here having fun.
20:18He won't have time for you little people anymore.
20:21He'll be busy washing underwears for James Gunn.
20:24Yeah, yeah, he's a superhero now.
20:29He works for DC.
20:32But no matter how hard you try, you still always be the Marine to me.
20:38And that's straight to DVD.
20:41Better find a PS3.
20:42I now understand you can't see me.
20:46It's a hell of a catchphrase, John, but now it's all done, because we all see you, and we're looking at a washed-up bum.
20:5714 years ago today, I dropped a legendary pipe bomb, and you tried to make it all about you, because that's what you do, John.
21:12You're a leech.
21:14You're a phony.
21:15You're a frog.
21:16You're an ass kiss.
21:1817-time world champion, but ain't never been on my class.
21:22Before you go, John, there's one more wish to make.
21:42Tomorrow night, you're going to lose to Kendrick, because, bitch, you're my Drake.
21:47A bit of verbal payback for CM Punk tonight.
22:04Tonight, as we get set for tomorrow night, perhaps for the final time in this long-storied rivalry,
22:20Yang and Yang concludes.
22:23It is Punk versus Cena for the undisputed WWE Championship and Night of Champions.
22:34That's it.
22:36Yes, it is Punk.
22:37Yes, it is Punk.
22:38Yes, it is Punk.
22:39Yes, it is Punk.
22:40Yes, it is Punk.
22:41Yes, it is Punk.
22:43Yes, it is Punk.
22:44Realize.
22:46Know the power that fear speaks.
22:51Perfection lies.
22:54He will have an acting father.
22:58I'm with you, I'm with you, let's set me free.
