00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:30Welcome to a special Friday Night SmackDown 4th of July edition and look who's arrived.
00:00:44Are we ready to go celebrate?
00:00:46Yeah baby.
00:00:47Let's go celebrate.
00:00:48Get out of here!
00:00:51Get out of here!
00:00:53Get out of here!
00:00:54Get out of here!
00:00:57Get out of here!
00:00:59Get out of here!
00:01:01Wait, just...
00:01:03Get out of here!
00:01:06Look at you now!
00:01:08Get the hell off of me.
00:01:11Get your ass off with me!
00:01:13Get your ass off with me!
00:01:15Get your ass off with me!
00:01:17I told you!
00:01:19I told you!
00:01:21Get your ass off with me!
00:01:23Hey, hey, hey, Jacob!
00:01:25Wrestling has won
00:01:29royalty.
00:01:41I'm drowning in my soul
00:01:48Every fight of control
00:01:51Do it all, get him on the beat
00:01:56Cry my tears about to blow
00:02:00Waiting for me to start the show
00:02:03I've become like a world for home
00:02:08Ladies and gentlemen
00:02:20Please welcome
00:02:21The 2025 King of the Ring
00:02:27The American Nightmare
00:02:30Cody Rhodes
00:02:33Cody conquered them all
00:02:37And weighed a path to become King of the Ring
00:02:39That was filled with unique challenges
00:02:42Like taking on friends and hungry tournament rivals
00:02:47Yeah, and the word hunger aptly describes Cody Rhodes
00:02:51Ever since losing his WWE Championship at WrestleMania
00:02:56It is good to be the King here on SmackDown
00:03:01Especially when you get yourself a guaranteed championship opportunity
00:03:05At SummerSlam
00:03:07The victory over Randy Orton
00:03:16That night of champions
00:03:18Last weekend in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
00:03:21With a tone of whatever it takes
00:03:22It was the exposed turnbuckle that paved the way
00:03:25The crossroads that sealed the deal
00:03:27And now it will be on the SummerSlam
00:03:30For Cody to get his rematch, Wade
00:03:33Yes, indeed
00:03:34Cody Rhodes challenges
00:03:36Is the last true champion
00:03:40John Cena for the undisputed WWE Championship
00:03:44At SummerSlam
00:03:47Of course, I will add the caveat
00:03:49That John Cena needs to remain champ
00:03:52Until SummerSlam
00:03:54But Cody has his target
00:03:58This summer
00:03:59So, Pittsburgh
00:04:26What do you want to talk about?
00:04:40Well, before I talk about
00:04:42This
00:04:44I actually want to point out
00:04:46This wristband right here
00:04:49There's a young man in Club 66, I believe
00:04:54His name is Cam
00:04:56He's battling leukemia
00:04:58He's working with the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh
00:05:01Let's hear it for Cam
00:05:02You guys are a wild crowd tonight, huh?
00:05:30So what does this crown stand for?
00:05:41I left a piece of myself in Columbus, Ohio
00:05:47Fighting Jey Uso
00:05:48Just to hold this
00:05:50I left a piece of myself in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
00:05:53Wrestling my mentor Randy Orton
00:05:55Just to hold this
00:05:57And what does it stand for?
00:05:59It stands for where we've been
00:06:01It stands for where we are going
00:06:03Where we've been
00:06:04Past kings
00:06:05Like Booker T
00:06:07Bret Hart
00:06:09Stone Cold Steve Austin
00:06:11And Triple H
00:06:11And Triple H
00:06:12And it stands for where we are going
00:06:22The main event of SummerSlam
00:06:26Myself, the king of the ring
00:06:30Against the undisputed WWE Champion
00:06:34The man he mentioned as mentor
00:06:36The man he mentioned as mentor
00:06:52The man he just taught
00:07:05The viper
00:07:07Randy Orton
00:07:08The man who tasted defeat in the desert
00:07:13Unthinkable
00:07:14For someone as accomplished
00:07:16As Randy Orton
00:07:19Truly tasting bitter disappointment
00:07:23And lofty goals and high expectations
00:07:28And was beaten out by Cody Rhodes
00:07:31For the crown
00:07:33Where you and Michael
00:07:36We're on the ball
00:07:37There in Saudi Arabia
00:07:38And I'm sitting back watching
00:07:39Just wondering
00:07:40How much threat Randy had
00:07:42With some of the moments
00:07:43Of internal conflict
00:07:45From that match with Cody
00:07:46Those pauses
00:07:47Were so much on the line
00:07:49That wavering between
00:07:50The viper we've known
00:07:52And the dear threats
00:07:53Of Cody we've witnessed
00:07:54And the pause on the punt kick
00:07:57But then yet
00:07:58The costly exposing
00:08:00Of the turnbuckle
00:08:01That backfired
00:08:02This conflict in the mind
00:08:05Of the viper
00:08:06That cost him
00:08:07He had the opportunity
00:08:08To put Cody Rhodes
00:08:09Away with that punt
00:08:11Neglected to take it
00:08:13Presumably
00:08:14Due to the strong bombs
00:08:16Between these two
00:08:17How much does Randy Orton
00:08:20Regret that
00:08:21Now
00:08:32I feel justice crawling
00:08:34I see faith that's falling
00:08:37Hiding voices in my head
00:08:40They talk to me
00:08:42They understand
00:08:43They talk to me
00:08:45They talk to me
00:08:48They tell me things
00:08:50That I will do
00:08:52They show me things
00:08:53I see
00:08:54They talk to me
00:08:56They talk to me
00:08:58They talk to me
00:09:05They talk to me
00:09:06They talk to me
00:09:07They talk to me
00:09:07They talk to me
00:09:08They tell me
00:09:08They talk to me
00:09:09Cody
00:09:10For weeks
00:09:12And weeks
00:09:14And weeks
00:09:15I told you
00:09:16That I would do
00:09:17whatever it took to win at King of the Ring.
00:09:22I told you for weeks and weeks that I would not hesitate.
00:09:30But at Night of Champions, I had you dead to rights.
00:09:35I had you laying there.
00:09:36I was about to rearrange your skull, brother.
00:09:44But I hesitated.
00:09:47You didn't hesitate.
00:09:54You pulled the trigger.
00:09:59And for that, I respect you.
00:10:04Now, I won't soon forget it.
00:10:07But for that, I respect you.
00:10:09But there is one thing that I ask of you.
00:10:11In fact, I want you to promise me, Cody.
00:10:13Promise me that you will not squander this opportunity.
00:10:19Promise me that you will go to SummerSlam and kick John Cena's ass.
00:10:24True McIntyre!
00:10:40Oh, wow!
00:10:42It has been weeks!

00:21:48in nxt
00:21:49something alexa for weeks now
00:21:51has been trying to rekindle
00:21:52and it's been firmly rebuffed
00:21:55by charlotte on multiple occasions
00:21:57however
00:21:58the prospect of a
00:22:00potential opportunity
00:22:02for tag gold
00:22:03with victory in this matchup
00:22:05has perhaps convinced charlotte
00:22:08it may be worth
00:22:09a roll of the dice
00:22:10charlotte steps out
00:22:15onto the apron
00:22:16and alexa
00:22:16seemingly to
00:22:18get things started here
00:22:19against mitchin
00:22:21and piper
00:22:22or not
00:22:26immediately of course charlotte wants to run things
00:22:31i don't share the spotlight
00:22:32keep your eyes peeled for blyper and niven
00:22:35who doesn't care
00:22:36about other teams
00:22:38and their potential issues
00:22:40and right to action
00:22:41as charlotte wastes no time
00:22:43weigh these allies of convenience
00:22:48well i guess things change a bit
00:22:50between alexa and charlotte
00:22:52and the season making
00:22:53like gold is potentially on the line
00:22:54charlotte is like a magpie
00:22:56loves anything that glitters
00:22:58and clearly alexa spoke to charlotte in a language
00:23:01charlotte understands the language of championships
00:23:05let's team up and get ourselves a crack at the gold
00:23:10mitchin comes with that big kick
00:23:11to the midsection of charlotte
00:23:13then up top against piper
00:23:14this is the hugely underrated mitchin
00:23:18with the highest pain threshold
00:23:21of any woman in the locker room
00:23:22a natural street fighter
00:23:24as is her partner b fab
00:23:26looking to grab her first piece of gold
00:23:29in the wwe
00:23:30ran into a big boot from charlotte
00:23:32and piper sends flair right off the apron
00:23:35and mitchin comes diving out
00:23:41it was a nasty landing for mitchin
00:23:44caught on the ropes on the way through
00:23:45but managed to take down her opponents
00:23:47in the process
00:23:48secret hervish just sits back and said
00:23:51that's her problem
00:23:52cannonball off the apron
00:23:55as she wipes out both of them
00:23:57such devastation caused right off the bat
00:24:01by the secret hervish
00:24:03and now alba up top diving to the outside
00:24:08wipes out everybody
00:24:10number one contenders triple threat match
00:24:13joe and wade with you here on smackdown
00:24:20so much on the line
00:24:21as general manager nick aldis
00:24:23put this forth
00:24:25the number one contenders triple threat match
00:24:27as we heard earlier
00:24:28it is piper quick to the lateral press cover
00:24:30and charlotte able to get that right shoulder up
00:24:33charlotte looked at alexa when she got that news
00:24:35and said do not get in my way
00:24:38that has just been a master class
00:24:40by the secret hervish thus far
00:24:42now both members of the secret hervish
00:24:44former tag champs here in wwe
00:24:47albeit not together
00:24:49things were looking so good
00:24:51but that miss by piper niven
00:24:53opening a massive window for b-fab here
00:24:55and look at the high energy from b-fab
00:24:57see a woman who has been
00:24:59desperate for opportunities
00:25:00while she's got a big one tonight
00:25:02and now it's time to make this count
00:25:04not the best of charlotte for a moment
00:25:07and then the big kick to piper
00:25:08and now center of the ring
00:25:10longest up top again against flair
00:25:12longest legs in the locker room
00:25:15and knows exactly how to use them
00:25:17legs for days
00:25:19complete momentum generated by b-fab
00:25:23red hot
00:25:24really nailed down her technique and abilities of late
00:25:30in the dungeon alongside katalia and tyson
00:25:33oh so smart from flair
00:25:35flair knows every trick in the book
00:25:37wait a second

00:29:20we were trying to help them out trying to help your show trying to make it better

00:31:46go
00:31:48go
00:31:52go
00:31:56it's uncle howdy the wyat six that band of brothers against a team made up of representatives from
00:32:09the rest of the tag division next you see tez ford chris david johnny gargano and burdo ready
00:32:22to take on the wyat six last week on smackdown gold on the line street profits wyat six every team
00:32:28with a smackdown locker room surrounded the ring the inevitable happened and complete chaos broke
00:32:36out bodies just dropping like prizes every team took shots at every other uncle howdy getting
00:32:44involved but in the end after pretty much everyone was moaned down it was the street profits
00:32:52that uncle howdy left as they just settled now wait i'm really curious to see how things are
00:32:59going to work out here after what we saw backstage as they were finding out how this was going
00:33:05to work and johnny gargano johnny wrestling is sitting there saying all right let's go tag
00:33:10three so you have four different guys here from four different teams who's the alpha that's going
00:33:16to be running things well i'll tell you right now burzo thinks he's the leader because he's one
00:33:20half of the triple a tag champs and i'm pretty sure that tez feels he's the leader because he's one
00:33:25half of the wwe tag champs and then you've got chris saban who is the veteran so he probably thinks
00:33:31he's the leader and then you've got johnny gargano who thinks he's a leader because he's johnny
00:33:36gargano and that's about it walberto up to a good start against joe gacy as gacy will make it over
00:33:43to tag dexter loomis it really is a battle for survival from the teams that have merged together
00:33:51on the other side of the ring from the wyatts as the wyatts simply attacked and mowed down
00:33:56everyone and everything in their path thus far and way up here johnny gargano and dexter loomis
00:34:02have a hell of a lot of history yes from their time in mxt as part of the way
00:34:08johnny trying to talk that language to dexter loomis he's saying remember we're family
00:34:14oh you don't got it you're not family that ain't sexy dexy anymore johnny
00:34:23is not waiting very different goes as he slams him down and right into the hook and the cover
00:34:29and coming in to make the save was saban and uncle howdy meets him right in the center of the ring
00:34:35johnny gargano for some major damage now we've got a face off four on four and nikki cross
00:34:43creeping around in the background too yeah and in the background right in the center of the ring
00:34:47is big eric rowan and they are growing yeah the referee never stood a chance in this one
00:34:54and we are going into meltdown mode early on here right away and look at big rowan
00:35:01powerhouse four on one might just get the job done against the massive eric rowan oh and they are synced up
00:35:09when it comes to this as it took all four of them one rep from each team to get the best of the big guy
00:35:17these warring factions have really bonded together here and they are looking spectacular
00:35:22see ya
00:35:23and now tez playing off the apron
00:35:28what are you doing
00:35:29oh and he's teed up for a massive super kick
00:35:34from loomis rowan just tossed tez right to loomis's boot
00:35:39montez ford
00:35:45he's struggling the past couple minutes against the wyatt six
00:35:48as he took damage on the outside of the ring and right now dexter loomis and joe casey in control
00:35:54against one half
00:35:55of the champions the street prop is his unique eight-man tag team matchup here the wyatt six
00:36:02against a representative from the other top four teams in the smackdown tag team division
00:36:08it was a rough start for uncle audi's band of misfits but they've held it together
00:36:12got themselves back on top now and it's one half of the tag champs
00:36:18who is getting an absolute pasting in there now
00:36:22lateral press looking for the win is loomis and the kick out
00:36:25by tez you can see him reaching for those ribs
00:36:29dexter loomis is the silent assassin of the wyatt six and what an incredible job he's doing thus far tonight
00:36:39he's doing damage inside the ring he did damage outside the ring with a big kick
00:36:43because big rowan just threw tez across and teed him up
00:36:48like it was softball strange territory for tez to not have angelo dawkins on the apron waiting for him
00:36:57barking instructions in moments of peril
00:37:00things simply not working at all tonight for montez sport although this could turn it around
00:37:06and he does and here comes chris saban just in time off the tag
00:37:12saban missile drop kick
00:37:16absolute revolutionary is saban how define the modern era of tag team competition
00:37:24well he needs all those skills and experience here
00:37:27he's showing you the skill he's showing you the athleticism the pace the speed
00:37:32as he's taking them all out look at chris saban
00:37:35simply a step ahead that is that veteran presence we come to expect from this man
00:37:41and now johnny gargano who's trying to galvanize his team earlier but joe gacy sends him flying
00:37:47gacy's such a brawler here getting outfoxed by saban
00:37:53in combination but coming in for the save was loomis
00:37:55oh that was just in the nick of time by loomis there as saban looked like he was about to score the win
00:38:02impressive run that saban went on as now tez
00:38:06takes a look and is tez thinking about taking flight
00:38:11wow
00:38:12montez sport is always thinking about taking flight
00:38:17highly effective there took out himself and the process went up
00:38:21berto down now too
00:38:23uncle howdy getting the best of him saban was looking for the roll up but instead
00:38:28he is just stunned
00:38:32and howdy
00:38:34takes advantage
00:38:36what sinister
00:38:38and a hinge
00:38:39and apparently eric rowan
00:38:43is about to put chris saban to the sword
00:38:46chris saban
00:38:47has little options for help
00:38:50tess tries to come in and make an effort and now berto gets absolutely pounced off the apron
00:38:58saban just when he was a sitting target the big boot and now the ddt and ken saban fight back against big rowan
00:39:10so resilient so resourceful and it looks like finally in the nick of time johnny gargano back on the apron
00:39:16yeah just when rowan took that ddt and now gargano wants in
00:39:23or is he
00:39:25having second thoughts
00:39:27having second thoughts wave oh are you kidding me johnny
00:39:31these bonds apparently
00:39:33weren't as strong as they were
00:39:36and saban
00:39:39gets blasted
00:39:39and left at the mercy of eric rowan is poor chris saban here
00:39:50massive rowan with a running cross body and now saban is in a world of hurt
00:39:57and the iron claw slam is coming his way
00:40:03big rowan big rowan big damage big win for the wyatt six
00:40:11here are your winners
00:40:14the wyatt six
00:40:18big rowan big damage big win for the wyatt six
00:40:24well it was an impressive performance from this cobbled together quartet
00:40:29until this moment where johnny gargano decided
00:40:33to throw chris saban to the walls rather than put himself in the line of fire of this and i'll be honest
00:40:40i don't blame johnny gargano one bit eric rowan
00:40:44with that massive iron claw slam
00:40:47getting the victory for the wyatt six here tonight
00:40:50they all wanted the wyatt six they got them
00:40:53the wyatt six seemingly short-circuiting the tag team division
00:40:57I'm not so sorry
00:41:03i realize this belt
00:41:06i know this belt
00:41:08you can't even go over one
00:41:09I'll put it somewhere
00:41:11you can't see it
00:41:12I'm not lucky
00:41:13you can't see it
00:41:15I took it my power
00:41:17blue flames don't flicker
00:41:19blue flames burn everything down
00:41:22this belt
00:41:26No mercy, no doubt, no fear.
00:41:36With fire, with fury, my way.
00:41:42So, who is it next? Come here.
00:41:48You're about to feel the heat of beautiful madness.
00:41:56It's Tiffy time!
00:42:12Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the WWE Women's Champion, Tiffany Stratton!
00:42:26Tiffy time, and what a reception in the brutal matches she's had to hold on to gold.
00:42:32It's not getting any easier.
00:42:34The Women's Champ will announce her opponent for Evolution.
00:42:36That's coming up next.
00:42:38What time is it?
00:42:39What time is it?
00:42:39What time is it?
00:42:40Big news announced.
00:42:51Drew McIntyre, he returned tonight.
00:42:53Had harsh words for Randy Orton.
00:42:55He owned with Cody Rhodes.
00:42:56And RKO later.
00:42:58And now we have this, Wade.
00:43:00Saturday Night's Fan Effect.
00:43:01Does not get much bigger.
00:43:04McIntyre, Randy Orton.
00:43:07Bad blood between these two.
00:43:09And they face off at Saturday Night's Main Event.
00:43:16That's a big weekend in Atlanta.
00:43:18Mention that road that Tiffany's been on from a WrestleMania war with Charlotte.
00:43:33And now coming off the last woman standing match against Nia Jax.
00:43:39Pittsburgh.
00:43:39Pittsburgh.
00:43:40What time is it?
00:43:46Since becoming champion, I have realized that there has been a target on my back.
00:43:54And Nia Jax's revenge was not going to stop me from becoming the last woman standing.
00:44:04But now my sights are set on SummerSlam where I will defend my title against the queen of the ring, Jade Cargill.
00:44:16And just like I am ready to beat Jade at SummerSlam, I am also ready to defend my title at Evolution.
00:44:26Eoskye had the opportunity of choosing who she wanted as her opponent.
00:44:30And tonight, I will have the same opportunity of choosing who I would like to face at.
00:44:43A storm is coming.
00:44:48Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the 2025 queen.
00:45:00Queen of the ring, Jade Cargill.
00:45:11Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the 2025 queen of the ring, Jade Cargill.
00:45:23And what Jade did last Saturday against Asuka was special.
00:45:30Showed greatness, skill, unparalleled strength.
00:45:32Catching a mid-air Empress Impact and turning it into Jaden Wade.
00:45:37We've got ourselves an ice queen, Jotess.
00:45:41The ice queen of the ring.
00:45:43And boy, oh boy, doesn't Jade Cargill look resplendent.
00:45:48I bow to thee.
00:45:52Newly crowned and deserving of it all, Jade Cargill.
00:45:57Okay, Tiffany, I see you out there looking like a champion beating Nia.
00:46:19Respect, respect.
00:46:20Respect, respect.
00:46:21But you was barely standing as I was crowning myself being the next queen of the ring against one of the best, Asuka.
00:46:37Now, tonight, you have a choice to make.
00:46:41Choose wrong and you won't be at SummerSlam.
00:46:44But to be honest, it don't matter who I face, I'm coming out with that title always.
00:46:55Jade, I'm actually so happy you're here.
00:46:58I have a surprise for everybody.
00:47:01Yes!
00:47:06Yes, dude!
00:47:07Stratisfaction guaranteed!
00:47:12It's the Hall of Fiber herself!
00:47:16And my biochemistry is suddenly having a 4th of July fireworks party of its own, Jotess!
00:47:24I'm just going to push back just a few feet from you right now.
00:47:29Just a safe ring.
00:47:30I feel young and virile once again, and every cell in my body wants to say,
00:47:37Thank you, Trish!
00:47:39So way, Trish!
00:47:44Wow!
00:47:49Gotta start your way, Wade.
00:47:55I think I've got control of it that's now, though.
00:47:57It was the initial shock!
00:47:59Initial excitement!
00:48:04Procenic!
00:48:06Trishy!
00:48:07I invited you here today because we teamed up together at Elimination Chamber,
00:48:12and I thought to myself, what would Evolution be without some stratus-faction?
00:48:21So I would like to offer you the opportunity to face me at Evolution for the WWE Women's Championship.
00:48:31Okay, Beth, you want to choose Trish? That's fine.
00:48:38Like I said, it doesn't matter if it's you or a legend at SummerSlam.
00:48:49Wow, I did not expect that.
00:48:52Thank you, Tiff.
00:48:56I got to say, Evolution holds a very special place in my heart.
00:49:01It represents everything we fought for back in the day.
00:49:04We used to have to fight for one single woman's match on a card.
00:49:10And now, at Evolution,
00:49:13that's right,
00:49:16we're going to have an entire card of incredibly talented women.
00:49:22I've always said that careers are made of moments.
00:49:34And, Tiff, you gave me one of my most special moments
00:49:37by allowing me to wrestle live in front of my kids.
00:49:41They got to see me in the ring.
00:49:44But you know what?
00:49:45My kids have never seen me be a champion in the ring.
00:49:54I mean, it does have a pretty nice ring to it.
00:49:57Eight-time champion.
00:49:59I would just like to make one thing clear.
00:50:08This isn't going to be easy.
00:50:10It's not the Attitude Era anymore.
00:50:16That's fine.
00:50:17No, no, no.
00:50:18Hey, hey.
00:50:18That's good.
00:50:19I want that fight.
00:50:20I want that fight.
00:50:21Because I've been known to evolve, Tiff.
00:50:23Good.
00:50:24So whether it's you at Evolution or you at SummerSlam,
00:50:28you both are going to realize that the WWE Universe runs on Tiffy Time.
00:50:40Now, Evolution is next Sunday, July 13th.
00:50:44SummerSlam is in four weeks.
00:50:46This is all happening.
00:50:47This is all happening.
00:50:53Oh, hello.
00:50:59Happy birthday, America, from your new United States champion.
00:51:08I hope we got your fireworks ready because we're going to celebrate.
00:51:12And please help me welcome the newest member of the family,
00:51:16Tala Tonga.
00:51:23What you're looking at right now, it's nothing like a block line.
00:51:31This group is way more stronger and dangerous than ever.
00:51:37And boys, if Jacob wasn't getting involved in our business tonight,
00:51:42you two stay back.
00:51:45Me and JC, we'll take care of you.
00:51:49These are my MFTs.
00:51:51My family is free.
00:51:56And now, my family is complete.
00:52:00They had that skyrocketing entry to SmackDown.
00:52:14Turned a title shot back in May.
00:52:15This is their first match since that no contest.
00:52:18Andrade and Rey Fenix will be opposite Traxia next.
00:52:22Three, four, two, three, nine, five, six.
00:52:35Trish.
00:52:36Trish.
00:52:36I see you have a title match at Evolution.
00:52:38I do.
00:52:39I love that for you.
00:52:40But you know, if you win, you'll be seeing me.
00:52:44Well, then I'll be seeing you at SummerSlam.
00:52:46Jean.
00:52:47See you.
00:52:47Should have proceeded with caution.
00:53:07Jay.
00:53:08Oh, my God.
00:53:09Are you okay?
00:53:09I'm tired of this.
00:53:11Once and for all, give me Naomi.
00:53:17Okay.
00:53:18Come on.
00:53:19Let's get you the trainers and we'll talk about it.
00:53:22Nick Aldis has his hands full when it comes to Jade Cargill and Naomi.
00:53:27And there you see Fraxia, who are looking to work their way back on the tag ranks against this exciting new tag team.
00:53:35Well, since getting to SmackDown, Fraxia, M-Wade has defeated most cars are pretty deadly DIY.
00:53:48And the Street Profits get a non-title to then earn a title match.
00:53:53Major opportunity for Axiom here to put down a marker and say, we want another crack at the goal.
00:54:00The U.S. champion, NXT champion.
00:54:04He's now in chemistry recently.
00:54:10With one of the most dynamic luchadores of this generation.
00:54:14And there, I'm home.
00:54:43The U.S. champion.
00:54:45The team of Andrade and Ray Fede.
00:54:56Last week, they teamed up.
00:54:59And it just felt right.
00:55:03And the DIY last week on SmackDown.
00:55:06Go back a few weeks earlier.
00:55:07They tagged up a big loss.
00:55:08Garza, I'll tell you right now, 99 times out of 100, when it comes to tag teams, it takes a long time to build chemistry.
00:55:20Rarely, rarely that chemistry is just au naturel.
00:55:24The magic is there from day one.
00:55:27And it feels like Phoenix and Andrade have that magic.
00:55:32Yeah, you could see that at the conclusion of that match that you mentioned against DIY.
00:55:37Garza, Ciampa found out.
00:55:39That driver by Phoenix.
00:55:41And then the message being delivered by Andrade.
00:55:45Andrade, they were in prime form.
00:55:50Bertha, Frazier, and Axiom.
00:55:52They have been much the same since they've come on board to SmackDown.
00:55:57You know what, Andrade and Phoenix, thrown together a couple of times, had that success,
00:56:05and maybe they just patted each other on the back and said,
00:56:07you know what, Amigo, I think we should give this a go.
00:56:11I think we are now a team.
00:56:13And victory here tonight.
00:56:15And surely, you've got to start thinking about, sooner or later, getting yourself a championship opportunity.
00:56:20And listen, just moments ago, we saw how disruptive this division is with what we had with the eight-man tag team,
00:56:28with Tesford, Saban, Gargano, and Berto going up against the Wyatt Six.
00:56:34Yeah, it's a brave team that wants to enter the SmackDown tag ranks right now,
00:56:37with the Wyatts floating around, and of course, the past six months of non-stop chaos and warfare.
00:56:44But knowing full well that Andrade and Phoenix are two natural-born competitors,
00:56:49natural-born winners, they apparently want in.
00:56:55Hello, Ray Phoenix! Welcome to the party!
00:56:59Oh, big knee comes in from Fraser.
00:57:02Ray Phoenix, of course, is historically a tag competitor alongside his brother, Rawls Penta.
00:57:09Oh, what a nice escape plan that was from Phoenix.
00:57:14Epic lucha movement to get out of that satellite DDT from Axiom.
00:57:18Now, Axiom and Phoenix in the center of the ring as they go with Fraser and Andrade.
00:57:24Four high flyers, massive technicians, forget all that, let's just have a broil in the middle of the ring.
00:57:30Let's duke it out like a hockey fight.
00:57:32Back and forth, Phoenix and Andrade.
00:57:34And now you can see Nathan Fraser says, let's wind it up!
00:57:43The dive train is going down the tracks, Wade!
00:57:47Just a couple of human blurs right there, and there's nothing Phoenix and Andrade can do about it!
00:57:53The speed and the aerial assaults of Fraxium!
00:58:03Nathan Fraser and Axiom matched up against Andrade and Ray Phoenix, who is struggling to get three right now.
00:58:12Yeah, and that magic that I mentioned a little earlier between Ray Phoenix and Andrade is slowly ebbing away before our eyes.
00:58:20It shows you just how good Fraxium really are, but Ray Phoenix ain't going to stop fighting that much we do now.
00:58:26Now, you see the teamwork of Fraxium in play time and again!
00:58:31Now, it's not just the speed of movement by Fraxium, it's the speed of transition.
00:58:39That's it. That's it right there.
00:58:40You can't block that.
00:58:43And even someone who's naturally as quick reflexively as Ray Phoenix couldn't slow Fraxium down.
00:58:51They really have that special source.
00:58:53Yeah, the way they swing together their offensive attack.
00:58:56Yeah, when you block low, they go high.
00:58:58Blink of an eye stop.
00:59:00So impressive have Fraxium been in NXT and, of course, since debuting here on SmackDown 2.
00:59:07Phoenix delivered that kick, but Axiom holding on to that left arm and then delivering one of his own.
00:59:15Oh, man! Oh, man! Did he send Fraser flying!
00:59:19Fraser couldn't move quick enough to block that one.
00:59:22Neither could Axiom.
00:59:24That might be a K-O-D-D-T.
00:59:26But Phoenix, too wiped out to make the cover, really needs to tag here to Andrade.
00:59:32Phoenix is trying to dig deep with everything he has, and here comes Andrade.
00:59:37Powerhouse of the lucha world is Andrade can really do it all.
00:59:43Technical masterclass, too.
00:59:45Dragon Screw comes in.
00:59:46And now off the ropes, flying in against Axiom as well.
00:59:50He's flying forearm like Tito Santana.
00:59:53And right now, Nathan Fraser just has no answer to any of this.
01:00:02As Andrade has turned things around.
01:00:05Oh!
01:00:06Oh!
01:00:06Oh!
01:00:06Oh!
01:00:07Oh!

01:07:07The following Tag Team Contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:07:15Introducing first, from Sacramento, California, playing in at 291 pounds, the Tumbo and Werewolf,
01:07:28Draco Fadoo!
01:07:32For 70 days, the U.S. Championship was his.
01:07:37Coming up, Jacob gets his chance to make sure they don't get things twisted again.
01:07:42Next week on SmackDown in Nashville, it will be the Extreme Profits versus the Wired Six.
01:08:07They've earned themselves a WWE Tag Team Championship match, plus, R-Truth gets his chance to get even with Alistair Black, who blackmashed R-Truth last week.
01:08:19Well, next week, they go one-on-one on SmackDown.
01:08:22And keep in mind, Evolution, live from Atlanta, WWE Women's Championship match has been determined.
01:08:29Trish Stratus tries to add to her well-established Hall of Fame credentials.
01:08:33She gets her shot at Tiffany Strat and a no-holds-barred match between the fiercest of rivals, Jade and Naomi.
01:08:40That's next Sunday, July 13th.
01:08:42And his tag team partner, from San Francisco, California, playing in at 251 pounds, Jimmy Uso!
01:09:04Jimmy and Jacob, together.
01:09:11And their opponent, the team!
01:09:34of James C. Matteo and the new WWE United States Champion, Solo Sakoa!
01:09:51Yes, the new, and Wade, here's how history was made at night.
01:09:56It's past Saturday in Riyadh, in the desert, the United States Championship on the line.
01:10:02Fatou, defending against Solo Sakoa, who was Tonga Loa, who returned after six months of absence.
01:10:11But it simply wasn't enough to keep the Samoan Werewolf down.
01:10:16Fatou, looking like he had victory in his grasp.
01:10:19But enter this monster.
01:10:22The almost seven-foot-tall Talatanga, chokeslamming Jacob Fatou through the announce desk.
01:10:30Solo Sakoa getting himself the dub, and subsequently proclaimed the new United States Champion.
01:10:38Look at the sheer size of Palatanga.
01:10:41Batman and Jacob Fatou were simply outlawed and outmaneuvered.
01:10:57The previously unstoppable Fatou was defeated at United Champions, and that proved that Fatou, as great as he is, is fallible.
01:11:09All men have weaknesses.
01:11:11And Solo Sakoa knew exactly how to expose Jacob Fatou with the numbers game.
01:11:17And would you look at Solo Sakoa, and Jacob says, I'm wasting no time.
01:11:22Forget this.
01:11:25Solo failed right away, and he said, I'll just attack Mateo.
01:11:30Let's not forget, it was the acquisition of JC Mateo into the fold by Solo Sakoa that really started the split between Sakoa and Jacob Fatou.
01:11:41Jacob Fatou never once taking to JC Mateo.
01:11:45And that was a sign of what was to come for the Samoa werewolf.
01:11:48And he said right away, I don't trust him.
01:11:51I don't like him.
01:11:53Now Big Jim is getting his best of it, too, after being in there with the Compact Powerhouse a week ago.
01:12:02Compact Powerhouse, indeed.
01:12:04Just a bundle of muscle.
01:12:06And Jimmy Uso getting pole-waxed there effortlessly by JC Mateo.
01:12:13And now Big Brother, Little Brother.
01:12:15And of course, Solo Sakoa happy to get in now that the former United States champion is out of the way.
01:12:23As he's mocking Fatou.
01:12:29How badly must...
01:12:30Jacob Fatou want to get his hands on the man who enthroned his reign as United States champion.
01:12:37And watch out, Big Jim.
01:12:38Now throwing some haymakers!
01:12:40Oh, and indeed, in the spinning Solo Slam was the response.
01:12:46And that stare-down and that face-off speaks volumes.
01:12:51Last weekend, Solo Sakoa won the first singles title of his WWE career, taking that United States championship.
01:13:03From the man in the background there, the always dangerous and now disturbed, Jacob Fatou.
01:13:09He needed the full support, Solo, of his quote-unquote family to win it.
01:13:14Like this man, JC Mateo, who arrived.
01:13:19JC Mateo has risen in double quick time to become Solo's most trusted enforcer.
01:13:26That role once belonging to Jacob Fatou, who fell out of favor in a big way.
01:13:34Long gone are the days of I Love You Solo.
01:13:38Jacob Fatou simply outgrew that soldier's uniform.
01:13:43One that JC Mateo is more than happy to fill.
01:13:46The athleticism of Mateo, when you see this body type and the size and strength, it is jaw-dropping.
01:13:54Earth Mover, who can move like a lightweight.
01:13:58Unfeasible abilities, and Big Jim in massive trouble now.
01:14:05Mateo squashing into that corner, and you can see Big Jim just draped over, looking to support his own body weight.
01:14:15Mateo is just having too much fun, just showing off to the Boss Solo Sakoa.
01:14:21But this time, Big Jim gives some hope.
01:14:23It's a drop.
01:14:26Samoan drop.
01:14:27Is there an opportunity for Jimmy Uso to get to the Samoan Werewolf?
01:14:33Solo Sakoa suddenly, looking far less assured than he did moments ago, panic-stricken.
01:14:40Needs to get in there and prevent this tag to the Samoan Werewolf.
01:14:44Too late!
01:14:45There's Solo.
01:14:47Here's 5-2.
01:14:50The moment the former U.S. champ has been waiting six days for.
01:14:55And he gets it right here.
01:14:56Oh, looking at a big kick.
01:14:59Man, oh, man.
01:15:00His resilience and his recuperative skills and the senton from 5-2.
01:15:06And the dogs are off the chain now.
01:15:09Go!
01:15:11Can only imagine how much he has been thinking of this in recent days.
01:15:185-2.
01:15:195-2.
01:15:206-3.
01:15:215-3.
01:15:226-3.
01:15:23Trying to cave the skull of Solo Sakoa in here.
01:15:28He may have.
01:15:29Solo.
01:15:31Looking to rally back.
01:15:32But instead, Fatu continues with his violent assault.
01:15:37It took a four-pronged attack to stop the Samoan Werewolf at Night of Champions.
01:15:42Looking to put him away.
01:15:45It's a very different story when it's one-on-one solo.
01:15:50Or even two-on-one.
01:15:52Dropping like flies now.
01:15:54A series of superkicks.
01:15:56And now he has each of them lined up.
01:16:00Which way you want to go, Jake?
01:16:03Hip attack and hip attack.
01:16:06Bouncing the craniums of these two men around with abandon.
01:16:12Swanton from Fatu.
01:16:17And Mateo breaks it up at the last second.
01:16:21Get out, JC.
01:16:21Come on.
01:16:22It's turning into a mugging now.
01:16:24But Big Jim's back.
01:16:26Looking to even the score here.
01:16:27Trying to take care of him for a moment.
01:16:30Big Jim breaks free and does deliver the superkick.
01:16:33Out here protecting.
01:16:35Because...
01:16:36Big Jim revving it up.
01:16:38Over the top rope.
01:16:40Right on to JC Mateo.
01:16:42Oh, man.
01:16:45Oh, man.
01:16:46Fatu comes flying out.
01:16:47Fatu with a dive of his own.
01:16:49What is there that Jake and Fatu cannot do?
01:16:54I'm still waiting for the answer.
01:16:57Solo gets out of the way.
01:16:59And delivers a superkick of his own.
01:17:02And now the all-too-familiar sight of that Samoan spike.
01:17:09Oh, but it is countered.
01:17:11Fatu counters it.
01:17:13Impaler DDT.
01:17:17Fatu's lining it up.
01:17:19Mighty moonsault by Fatu.
01:17:21One, two, three.
01:17:26Sweet revenge.
01:17:30Here are your winners.
01:17:33Jimmy Uso and the Samoan werewolf, Jacob Batu.
01:17:40Well, a modicum of vengeance for the now former United States champ, Jacob Batu.
01:17:49He got victory tonight alongside Big Jim over the man who conquered him at Night of Champions.
01:17:55But it looks like that is not going to satisfy the appetite of this absolute beast of a man.
01:18:03You know, he wants...
01:18:05Oh, man.
01:18:06He's just annihilating and clearing our announce desk.
01:18:10Well, this is about punishment now.
01:18:14What is perhaps going to be a sickening attack of a new United States champ?
01:18:21He is climbing all the way up.
01:18:23All the way up, he's climbing.
01:18:25Oh, God!
01:18:26Talatanga again!
01:18:28The man who caused all the damage at Night of Champions.
01:18:32The ultimate acquisition.
01:18:34Jimmy Uso tried his best to take this monster there.
01:18:37Jimmy's in there, but he's got company.
01:18:40Tonga Loa is meeting him.
01:18:43And now Tonga Loa and Talatanga are getting the best of Big Jim.
01:18:49Oh, what a boot that was.
01:18:51God, that's going to be a size 18 boot to the jaw of Big Jim.
01:18:58Oh, this is bad.
01:18:59Look at the numbers game.
01:19:02That four...
01:19:03Tour of the Islands!
01:19:04Is now back, causing maximum damage.
01:19:12And now they got Big Jim in a place of Big Hurt.
01:19:16And a twisted neck breaker to Jimmy Uso out here on the concrete.
01:19:22And now their attention turns to Jacob Fatu.
01:19:26The one they really wanted.
01:19:28Just held in place.
01:19:35And a brutal Samoan spike delivered.
01:19:39Just an old-fashioned moggy.
01:19:43Four on one.
01:19:45Jacob Fatu now a carcass.
01:19:48And it appears they're not done yet.
01:19:50And they're coming our way again.
01:19:53Zoccoa's coming our way again.
01:19:56Remember, he was on the table moments ago.
01:19:59And then his newfound family with Talatanga and Tonga Loa.
01:20:05Oh, this is not good.
01:20:07Oh, no!
01:20:08Oh, no!
01:20:10They've got him up!
01:20:11Oh, he crashes through the reinforced announced desk!
01:20:21Oh, Fatu is laid out.
01:20:26As he stands over him with that United States Championship,
01:20:33they take out Fatu.
01:20:35Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
