Transcript
00:00And Jimmy Uso, indeed, goes all alone.
00:11The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:15Introducing first, from San Francisco, California,
00:20weighing in at 251 pounds,
00:24Jimmy Uso!
00:30Big Jim's got his work cut out for him tonight, Wade.
00:34Yes, he does.
00:36JC Mateo is a massive, massive problem, and
00:39he's out tonight to teach Big Jim a lesson in how it feels to be alone.
00:48Keep your nose out of our business, says Solo Shakoa.
00:52Jimmy, JC, next on SmackDown.
00:56And ladies and gentlemen, can you believe that we are just 36 days away from SummerSlam at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey?
01:13The first two-night SummerSlam ever.
01:17And WWE today announced that WWE Late Night, featuring Tony Hinchcliffe,
01:24will take place at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, New Jersey,
01:28on Saturday, August 2nd, at 11 p.m. Eastern, as part of SummerSlam weekend.
01:32An exclusive pre-sale opportunity for the closed-doors non-televised event will begin Monday, June 30th,
01:37at 10 a.m. Eastern, 7 a.m. Pacific, until 11.59 p.m. Eastern, 8.59 p.m. Pacific, via Ticketmaster,
01:44followed by the general public ticket on sale on Tuesday, July 1st, at 10 a.m.
01:49I was born again, I was born again, I was born again.
02:01They talk your family first, I'm the dad in the past.
02:03No, we're dad in the past.
02:05No, we're dad in the past.
02:07Jimmy Uso, going to battle with a monster of his own tonight.
02:13And his opponent, accompanied by Solo Sokoa, from Honolulu, Hawaii, weighing in at 265 pounds,
02:42J.C. Mateo!
02:46Well, Wade, you heard the warning earlier from Solo Sokoa to Jimmy Uso, stay out of our business.
02:53It's going to be tough to go it alone.
02:58And we'll show you what he's talking about.
02:59This was last week on Friday Night SmackDown, the double team by J.C. and Solo.
03:05During a number of Jacob Fatu, when Jimmy Uso hit the scene, made the save,
03:11albeit too briefly, but just as Solo and J.C. thought they had stirred the tide.
03:18Back bounces the Samoan Werewolf, springing to life,
03:22leaving Solo and Mateo scrambling for the exits.
03:27And of course, Solo Sokoa tomorrow night at Night of Champions will take on J.C.
03:32I'm sorry, we'll take on Jacob Fatu for the United States Championship.
03:37There's J.C. Mateo, the powerhouse for Solo Sokoa.
03:43Of course, Solo, the younger brother of that man, Jimmy Uso, as we get set to go in this
03:48matchup tonight.
03:49Jimmy Uso.
03:50And the power of Mateo.
03:52I was gonna ask you, what is it about J.C. Mateo that makes him so dangerous?
03:55Well, he's just a bundle of muscle, isn't he?
03:57He's got that low center of gravity.
04:00He's got massive experience around the world where he's conquered the US, he's conquered Japan.
04:04And now with the guidance of Solo Sokoa, they're looking to conquer the entirety of WWE.
04:11Yeah, referee Charles Robinson admonishing J.C.
04:13Mateo, who is beating down Jimmy in the corner.
04:15But Jimmy fights back with the right hand, and then a chop down to the chest.
04:19Jimmy Uso, trying to pave his own way as a singles competitor here in WWE.
04:24Much like his brother, Jey Uso, as Jim takes the fight to Mateo.
04:28You're right, one half is statistically the greatest tag team in history.
04:32Whoa!
04:32Look at the match that in the singles ranks.
04:35But good luck against this absolute earth mover that is J.C. Mateo.
04:41Yeah, never openweight champion in New Japan, a three-time IWGP tag team champion as well.
04:47J.C. Mateo, an Olympian from Guam in 2004.
04:52So not only is he a powerhouse, he's a tremendous technical wrestler.
04:57These two competed against each other on SmackDown about three weeks ago with
05:01Jimmy getting the win on occasion thanks to a major outside interference that
05:07backfired from Solo, hoping to fix that this evening, of course.
05:10And Jimmy Uso now, and Solo Sokoa standing in front of Mateo.
05:24And now Jimmy Uso, the distraction by
05:40Solo Sokoa, Mateo tried to take advantage.
05:43What's the distraction from Sokoa?
05:46The truth is, Sokoa really wants to recruit Jimmy back into the family.
05:50One last opportunity, the offers keep coming, the olive branches keep coming,
05:55but Jimmy says nay, and he might regret that now.
05:58Well, Solo Sokoa obviously understands the importance of the numbers game.
06:03Solo had Jacob Fatu in the fold until back at Money the Bank when
06:07Jacob turned on Solo Sokoa, costing him the contract.
06:10It's rather ironic that he's called Solo because he has been anything
06:14but during his time in WWE that you're right.
06:17The numbers game has been so effective and part of that is how effective
06:23JC Mateo has been with that distraction from Solo.
06:26Yeah, tremendous spinning suplex by Mateo and Solo Sokoa talking trash to brother Jimmy.
06:33If you're Jimmy Uso, Wade, at some point do you think about maybe getting back into the fold with family?
06:38You absolutely do.
06:40But Jimmy has been searching for some career direction of late.
06:43He's been taking whatever fights are available.
06:46He's had to be a gym of all trades, if you will.
06:49And right now he's just not getting the kind of success we're used to from Jimmy Uso
06:54as we saw for years in the tag game.
06:56A gym of all trades.
06:58You like that one, didn't you? I've been working on that one on the play.
07:01I do a lot of flying around the world and sometimes I sit there and come up with
07:04brilliant things like that.
07:05Gym of all trades, put that on the t-shirt.
07:07And Jimmy Uso fighting back with the right hand and now a chop to Mateo.
07:12Mateo's like a powder keg, isn't he?
07:15Just an absolute battering ram of a human being.
07:19Yeah, look at that.
07:21Yeet everyone, wrong guy JC, that's Jay's thing.
07:26You mentioned the Usos, Jimmy and Jay.
07:28Perhaps one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history.
07:31One time 622 days as SmackDown Tag Team Champion, still a record.
07:36Eight time Tag Team Champion is Jimmy Uso.
07:39I think that is a record that will never be beaten.
07:43That Uso record of holding those championships.
07:47But that's the last thing on Jim's mind right now.
07:49And Jimmy Uso taking the fight to JC Mateo in this matchup.
08:03Solo Soko is at ringside as he prepares for the United States Championship match.
08:08And Jacob Fatu tomorrow night at Night of Champions.
08:10And look at the power of Mateo, just planting Jimmy Uso.
08:15Got an ability to manhandle human beings that should be illegal.
08:20Absolute freak genetics as the mockery of Big Jim Uso continues and that offer.
08:26And look at the standing assault now.
08:29And Mateo into the cover, gonna hook the leg and a kick out.
08:33It reminds me a lot of Taz, a former partner of mine and also a great in-ring
08:39competitor in ACW and here in the WWE as well.
08:45Low center of gravity.
08:46Tremendous ability with two plexes and throws.
08:49A powerhouse powder keg as I described him before.
08:54So well-rounded, he can throw in a standing moonsault whenever he wants to.
08:58Really is a hybrid level superstar with all the power of your favorite powerhouses from history.
09:04Jimmy Uso trying to build some momentum here up to the top rope.
09:08Now Jimmy with a corkscrew, taking out Mateo.
09:12Both men down.
09:13Little Uso in the wind there and now panic in the eyes of Solo Sekela.
09:18Let's try time and time again during this match and in the preceding weeks to get
09:23Jimmy Uso back in the fold.
09:25So far it's been a no.
09:26Yeah, jam-packed crowd here tonight.
09:28Riyadh Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom Arena.
09:31First time WWE has played this state of the art facility that's hosted international
09:36soccer matches and heavyweight boxing matches.
09:40Now Jimmy Uso and Mateo kicking things off on SmackDown and a big right hand by Jimmy.
09:45Mateo misses wildly, Jimmy went for the Samoan drop, just didn't have enough.
09:51And Jimmy will catch him on the ear, and Mateo stumbles to the corner.
09:57Yeah, you're not gonna match power for power with JC Mateo, but I don't care how big you are,
10:03that kick to the temple is gonna drop anyone.
10:09And Jimmy gonna back it up in the corner, shades of the late great Umaga.
10:15Skull of JC Mateo bouncing around now with every shot.
10:19And that kick drives Mateo outside the ring and Solo Sokoa is not happy.
10:23Right hand man getting dropped by his big bro.
10:27Suicide dive, the shoulder into Mateo and drops him.
10:31So much has been taken out of Big Jim right now.
10:34That man is in pain, but he's got the advantage here, needs to make it count.
10:39But that is a big frame to try and throw back in the ring.
10:42And a Solo Sokoa grabbing the leg of Jimmy Uso.
10:50The official was dealing with Mateo.
10:54As Jimmy was looking to go up top perhaps for the Uso splash.
10:59And that momentary distraction by Solo allowed Mateo to make it to his feet.
11:04Jimmy's gotta roll through now, and JC Mateo, look at this.
11:07Good night, Jimmy.
11:10Cover, off the Tour of the Islands, JC Mateo with the win.
11:18Here is your winner, JC Mateo.
11:26What a pivotal distraction from Solo Sokoa it was.
11:30One window, and JC Mateo capitalizes for the Tour of the Islands.
11:36One of the most devastating moves we've seen on SmackDown in some time.
11:41And Solo Sokoa and his now one-man army next to him get the job done tonight.
11:49All right.
12:03Ready?
12:05Are you done?
12:06Ready to kick back?
12:09Ready?
12:09We'll build this.
12:10Time's shots.
12:11Jimmy couldn't refuse, and from behind JC Mateo attacking Jimmy Uso.
12:32Wade Solo offering Jimmy an opportunity to come back into the fold, and Jimmy said hell no.
12:37Here's what you could have won, you could be part of this.
12:41Beating the hell out of fools like we did, ooh, hold on.
12:46Little deja vu.
12:51This time it's Jacob Fatou coming to Jimmy Uso's aid.
12:55And the United States champion goes right after JC Mateo.
12:59Perhaps repaying the favor to Big Jim from last week.
13:02Pop-up Samoan.
13:03And now staring off at the man he defends the United States championship against tomorrow
13:10night.
13:11A man who used to say I love you Solo as his enforcer, and now bitter enemies as Solo Sokoa
13:20decides to wait till tomorrow night.
13:23Without the numbers game it ain't so easy is it, especially against the Samoan Werewolf with
13:30blood lost in his eyes.
13:32And Jacob Fatou with a massive moonsault to Mateo.
13:42See you tomorrow night Solo.
13:49And now Jimmy Uso shoving Solo out of harm's way to deliver a kick.
14:04Jimmy Uso shoving Jacob Fatou out of harm's way to deliver a kick to Solo Sokoa.
14:21Fatou and Jim have had major issues over recent months, but they are cousins.
14:30Perhaps one good turn deserved another.
14:33Tomorrow night Fatou solo for the United States championship.
