00:00The following Tag Team Contest is scheduled for one call.
00:16Introducing first, with a combined weight of 497 pounds,
00:22Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, DIY!
00:28You know, Wade, trying to play locker room leaders again,
00:32running their mouths, and DIY, once again, in trouble.
00:37Yeah, talked a little too much smack in the locker room earlier tonight.
00:40GM Aldis is now trying to teach him a lesson by putting DIY to work.
00:47Andrade will be one of their opponents.
00:49Who will the other one be?
00:51We find out next on SmackDown.
00:58It is the start of what is going to be an unbelievable weekend in the capital city of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
01:05This is Riyadh.
01:07We're at the Kingdom Arena tonight for Friday Night SmackDown.
01:10Of course, tomorrow, it will be a night of champions.
01:14And speaking of champions, Legado Del Fantasma now has some gold.
01:19It happened a couple of weeks ago at Triple Mania Regia 3 in Monterey, Mexico.
01:27Wade, Angel, and Humberto Los Garzas put on a show.
01:31Part of a fatal, part of a four-way matchup to win the Triple-A World Tag Team titles.
01:39Awesome, incredible history south of the border.
01:43Well, they've extended it further by grabbing Triple-A Tag Goal.
01:47Congrats, Los Garza.
01:50And former Tag Team Champions in their own right.
01:53NXT Tag Team Titles, two-time WWE Tag Team Champions, DIY.
01:58The title.
01:59The title.
02:03The title.
02:07The title.
02:11The title.
02:41Oh, yeah.
02:45Oh, what an ace to pull out of your sleeve, Andrade.
02:48And their opponents, with a combined weight of 412 pounds, Andrade and
02:52Ray Fines.
02:56Andrade and Ray Fines.
02:58So Gargano and Ciampa were running their mouths, and Aldis had added up and said, hey, Andrade, you want a tag match?
03:12Find a partner.
03:14What a partner.
03:15What a partner he found, Ray Fines and they lit things up a few weeks ago, Wade.
03:19Yes, they did.
03:21They have tagged one time previously, beating Los Garza, who we just saw win the Triple-A Tag title.
03:27That was back in May, these two showed some immediate chemistry together, and they're gonna need that tonight, because DIY, our chemistry personified.
03:34Andrade and I?
03:36Andrade, and they are like, I don't know, let's go.
03:38But I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go, and I'm ready to go.
03:43showed some immediate chemistry together and they're gonna need that tonight
03:48because DIY our chemistry personified.
04:13It pays to be popular when you need an emergency tag partner.
04:19Let's call through your list of contacts and come up with Rey Fenix.
04:24Hats off Andrade.
04:28Jaw-dropping superstar, Rey Fenix has been since his debut on SmackDown,
04:34he's been cutting through the entire roster with electrifying moves
04:39and we should see some more of that imminently.
04:43So here we go, Ciampa starting things off against Andrade.
04:48Big opportunity for both these tag teams tonight.
04:52A win could propel them to a tag team championship opportunity.
04:55Remember, Street Profits defend against the Wyatt Six later tonight.
04:58Yeah, the whole division has really been thrown into chaos since the return of the Wyatt Six,
05:04who attacked pretty much every single tag team on the list.
05:08We'll see if they grab Golda later on tonight.
05:11against the Street Profits.
05:13But you're right, whoever wins that match will need a number one contender, sir.
05:18Put your foot down, lads.
05:20Double team and Andrade now.
05:22Drop to hold again, Rey.
05:23Phoenix slides outside the ring.
05:25And here comes Andrade now.
05:26Oh, and a double team by Andrade and Phoenix.
05:30High caliber action.
05:31Phoenix, Andrade fly and take control of this tag team match.
05:35And Phoenix and Andrade so much fun to watch, Wade.
05:36Yeah.
05:37Crazy level of synchronicity.
05:38This quickly.
05:39Oh, Phoenix, Andrade fly and take control of this tag team match.
06:00And Phoenix and Andrade, so much fun to watch, Wade.
06:03Yeah, crazy level of synchronicity this quickly.
06:07Despite having one match under their bowels, they're looking like a veteran tag team.
06:12Well, the veteran tag team, DIY, completely on the back foot.
06:19And here's part of the problem with being thrown into this kind of match.
06:22If you DIY, you simply didn't know who you were competing against.
06:25Well, maybe you keep your mouth shut.
06:26How about that?
06:27Maybe you stop running around trying to be locker room leaders,
06:30taking control of the entire tag team division.
06:33This is what they get.
06:34I don't mind that at all.
06:35The tag team division does need some leadership.
06:38It has been a mess for months, although I will admit DIY have kind of been the main instigators.
06:48Ray Phoenix, so much fun to watch.
06:51Mexico City, Mexico, 5'10", 202 pounds.
06:54The high flyer, of course, a brother with Penta.
06:58Great tag team with him and the Lucha brothers over the years.
07:01Perhaps explains why Ray Phoenix is so quick to fit in when it comes to tag team wrestling alongside Andrade.
07:07Those years and years experience you mentioned alongside Penta coming in handy tonight.
07:12Yeah, Gargano makes the tag.
07:14Phoenix not and realizing it.
07:15Johnny Gargano delivers that slingshot spear as DIY takes control.
07:20Yeah, and this is kind of what I expected.
07:25All the miles on the clock for DIY.
07:27They've won gold together in NXT.
07:30They've won gold together here on SmackDown, and this is that experience factor now kicking in,
07:35and the initial burst from Ray Phoenix has suddenly fallen flat.
07:40And now Gargano tagged the champ of frequent tags in and out now from DIY.
07:45They're a precision tag team, as I mentioned before.
07:48Numerous tag team champions together in the past, running double these from Gargano.
07:52Ciampa fouls it up with a big kick, and suddenly Gargano and Ciampa dominating.
07:57Step for step, complete control and domination from DIY, and now in a real bad way is this Luchador.
08:08Cover now by Ciampa, and a kick out.
08:11Phoenix stays alive.
08:27We are back on Friday night SmackDown.
08:29It's DIY against Andrade and the partner he picked for this matchup, Ray Phoenix.
08:33But right now Gargano and Ciampa dominating, frequent tags in and out of the ring.
08:38Interested to see Gargano and Andrade back in the same ring together.
08:41Back in 2018, those two had the match of the year in NXT.
08:46Oh, goodness.
08:48Oh my god, that landed by Gargano was absolutely horrific.
08:51Landed on the steps with the shin.
08:53Hoping he's okay, and for the moment at least, Ciampa's gonna go it alone.
08:59Now Ray Phoenix picking up the pace.
09:00Ciampa down and an opportunity now to make a tag.
09:03To Wade's point, some concern perhaps for Johnny Gargano, who landed hard.
09:08It's about as awkward a landing as you can have over the top rope.
09:11Contacting those steel steps on the way down to an easy throw something in his knee.
09:16Obviously, well, he may be a bit injured, but it did not prevent him from pulling Andrade.
09:22Oh, off the apron so he couldn't make the tag.
09:25Cover now by Ciampa.
09:27Wraps the arm and the leg.
09:28Great cover by Ciampa.
09:29Great kick out by Ray Phoenix.
09:31Hey, Wade, a new era is born.
09:34Jurassic World Rebirth takes you to the most dangerous island on earth.
09:37Only in theaters Wednesday.
09:40Talk about dangerous.
09:41Ciampa knows.
09:42No one's dumb enough to go where we're going.
09:49That's kind of our specialty.
09:56Hang on!
09:59Let's go.
09:59Ready PG-13.
10:01What were you saying about being a tremendous broadcast journalist?
10:05We take cues here, pal.
10:07My headset temporarily wasn't working, Michael Cole.
10:10Can you pull the plug on me or something?
10:12Taking the fight now again to Ray Phoenix.
10:15Tremendous tag team battle here tonight by both of these teams.
10:19We mentioned before him, he jockeyed for position for a future tag team championship
10:24opportunity.
10:24Profit Wyatt 6 later on tonight for the titles.
10:27How crucial was that when Johnny Gargano pulled Andrade off the apron
10:31just when Phoenix was finally gonna get that tag?
10:35Well, Johnny wrestling, apparently feigning a knee injury.
10:38No, no, he's still shaking it off.
10:40It's legit.
10:41I am telling you, he is hurt.
10:43Ray Phoenix walking the tightrope and connecting with Ciampa.
10:48Phoenix is a human highlight reel.
10:51Johnny Gargano, to his credit, battling through the pain here with that left knee injury.
10:56Still wanting to get back in the fight, perhaps, because Ciampa is down and maybe out.
11:02Come on.
11:02Andrade looking for a tag, Gargano's legal, so is Andrade.
11:06And Johnny Gargano came up a bit, given that time.
11:10And a dragon screw by Andrade.
11:13Right on that bad knee, how small was that from Andrade?
11:17And now the favor, fully on the side of Andrade and Phoenix.
11:21And Gargano howling in pain.
11:24Well, Gargano should not even be in the fight at this point.
11:28It tells you what a competitor he is.
11:30Simply has no quit in his soul.
11:32And the third generation superstar Andrade went for the Meteora.
11:36Gargano rolled out of harm's way, slingshot spear caught by Andrade.
11:40And what a elbow to the back of the neck.
11:48Down goes Gargano off that reverse tornado DDT, and a kick out of two by Johnny.
11:55Well, hats off to Johnny Gargano and his unrelenting passion for this game.
12:01You might not like his attitude of late, but you have to respect a man fighting past the pain barrier here.
12:10Just how much it means to guys like Ciampa and Johnny Gargano.
12:15Two gritty dudes who come up the hard way, but that ain't gonna help you now.
12:18Andrade lands, rolls through.
12:21And doubles in!
12:24For the win, Ciampa cover!
12:27And a kick out, and I believe using his knees hurt Johnny Gargano's knee even more.
12:40We're in the midst of a tremendous tag team matchup here tonight between DIY and Andrade.
12:54Just four veterans who simply wanna get to the top in a hurry,
13:00and they're gonna do whatever they can to get there.
13:03And Roddy and Ciampa really one on one now.
13:06You've got Gargano injured outside the ring, Phoenix as well.
13:09You've basically got four hobbled competitors at this point.
13:13It's about who's anywhere near 100%.
13:18And right now, it looks like that man is Andrade.
13:26Tag made, here comes Rey Fenix.
13:29The high flyer up to the top rope, what a splash!
13:32Cover!
13:37Ciampa kicks it too.
13:39Really a lot of respect shown to the Hall of Famer, Eddie Guerrero.
13:42What a legend, not just in Mexico, but around the world.
13:46Yeah, watch the frog splash here by Rey Fenix.
13:51Right to the midsection of Ciampa, who just about kicked out.
13:54And Ciampa at this point needs to know there's not much chance of Johnny Gargano,
13:59his tag partner, giving a lot of help from it.
14:02Gargano really favoring his left knee as he tries to get some blood flowing back into it
14:07up on the apron.
14:08Ciampa exchanging blows with Fenix.
14:10Gargano can barely stand up, and the same is probably true of Ciampa,
14:15although he's battling off.
14:29Both men connect, tags made, Gargano and Andrade legal.
14:37Fenix runs into a super kick.
14:39Andrade with a kick of his own, Ciampa with one two.
14:42This is the point of the match where all technical stuff goes out of the window.
14:46It's a slugfest, and all bodies have been dropped.
14:54A delighted WWE Universe in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
14:59on their feet for a tremendous tag team matchup.
15:02And what a tag team matchup this has been here on Friday Night SmackDown.
15:15DIY against Andrade and Rey Fenix.
15:19Absolute banger, and it's still ongoing despite the wall wounds shown by all four men.
15:25Yeah, suffering a knee injury early on in the matchup, Gargano has fought through.
15:29Andrade with a chop.
15:39Looking for something huge here to finally put this one away.
15:44But of course, there's fight left in Johnny Wrestling.
15:50What are they gonna do here?
15:51High-risk maneuver, Gargano and Andrade lands on his feet.
15:54Andrade knees.
15:56Just crazy athleticism and reflexes from this man.
16:01Watch out.
16:03Oh, goodness, stuck it.
16:05Ciampa.
16:08No, Gargano actually kicked out before Ciampa got in to make the save.
16:12Gargano tried to roll out the way.
16:14He didn't roll far enough and basically got a double stump to the chest as his reward.
16:21Phoenix using the ropes to his advantage.
16:25Rey Fenix gonna fly!
16:29So much acceleration and so much impact.
16:31Taking the Sicilian psychopath.
16:36Tommaso Ciampa down and then there were two.
16:40And then Gargano turns his attention to an old familiar foe, Andrade.
16:46His place is electric for this tag team match.
16:48What an absolute unexpected treat these four have thrown on here.
16:54Phoenix makes the tag.
17:02He's legal.
17:03I don't think Johnny Gargano saw that.
17:06He's gonna know now.
17:08Phoenix, incredible.
17:10Turned that into a German suplex, bridging cover now.
17:13Almost had him, what a move by Rey Fenix.
17:16Oh man, if that pin had been a little more crisp, that surely would have been the end there.
17:23What a massive leverage, German suplex there.
17:26But perhaps after the beating Phoenix has taken, didn't quite have the core strength to stick the pick.
17:33What the hell?
17:42Phoenix, with Gargano up on his shoulders, on Rodney top rope.
17:48Candler sends him, spilling out to the floor.
17:51Gargano, roll through, is it enough for the win?
17:54Almost had him, two and a half.
17:56That's when Phoenix was trying for that Mexican muscle buster, went up.
18:00Phoenix, hurt his knee, Gargano capitalized, tag to Ciampa.
18:05Nailing that poison rana, and now Ciampa looking to capitalize on this, and put this to bed.
18:11Looking for fairy tale ending, Gargano with a kick to the face.
18:14Down goes Phoenix, cover off the double team.
18:17Somehow Phoenix is in it, somehow Rey Fenix is alive.
18:22And Ciampa, looking to put Phoenix away.
18:26Oh, Project Ciampa, cover, Andrade breaks things up.
18:33Perfect timing from Andrade, because this one was as good as over.
18:41Just a volley of offense thrown away of Rey Fenix.
18:45Oh, Andrade caught him with a back elbow.
18:48Ciampa now gonna send Andrade to the ropes.
18:51Kick drops Andrade to his knees, and now Tommaso Ciampa looking to put Rey Fenix away.
18:57Exposes his knee, into the corner.
18:58Nobody home.
19:02Phoenix, tremendous balance, Ciampa up on the top rope.
19:07Tag made to Andrade, who's legal.
19:10Then suddenly looking bleak.
19:11One, two, three, one.
19:18Andrade.
19:18The message.
19:27Here are your winners, Rey Fenix and Andrade.
19:32Absolutely incredible action here in this tag team matchup.
19:42Man, that match was an absolute treat for all of us.
19:47Complete pandemonium from start to finish.
19:50And what a victory for this team, who are now basically 2-0.
19:57This is Mexican muscle buster here from Rey Fenix.
20:01We've seen that in the past that you called it, Cole.
20:04The message, the one-two whammy.
20:07Bob's jumper away as Rey Fenix plays guard on the outside.
20:12Rey Fenix calls it the Blackfire driver.
20:15And he connected with it here tonight to allow Andrade to hit the message.
20:19And once again victorious for this high-flying, exciting tag team of
20:24Andrade and Fenix on Friday Night SmackDown.
