Transcript

00:00The rest of the division trying to put themselves in line.

00:13The following contest is a WWE Tag Team Championship

00:19number one contender, Fatal 4-Way Match.

00:24Introducing first, with a combined weight of 407 pounds,

00:29Tomato Chompa, Johnny Gargano, DIY.

00:37Number one contender's Fatal 4-Way when we return to Friday Night SmackDown.

00:59Remember Cody Rhodes, John Cena, the contract signings still to come.

01:12But right now, look at this, great reception for Andrade and Ray Phoenix.

01:18They have become a really amazing pairing wave since the High Flyers have been a team.

01:23They're 3-0, they've got the best of Praxium and DIY and Los Garza, a win tonight.

01:28And they will be the number one contenders to the Y of Six.

01:31Yeah, generally takes months and months to build chemistry, but sometimes the magic is just automatic.

01:38And that has been the case with Andrade and Ray Phoenix.

01:41Really raised some eyebrows in recent weeks at just how quickly they've got to this top level.

01:48Now, the top level in winning this match will grant you a Tag Championship opportunity.

01:54So now is the time to get that done.

01:56So that pairing against DIY, who we saw earlier, Praxium is in there, as well as the Motor City Machine Guns.

02:03And to be clear, in this kind of matchup, two men are legal at all times.

02:08Anybody can tag anybody.

02:10That means you can't just tag your partner, someone can tag themselves in from behind.

02:15A lot of strategy goes into this kind of match.

02:19Start off with Nathan Fraser and Chris Saban.

02:21And that's just what you said.

02:23And of course, the American Nightmare and the self-proclaimed last real champion,

02:29Cody Rhodes and John Cena are gonna have their contract signing for SummerSlam in a matter of moments.

02:36As you look at Ray Phoenix.

02:38Well, this match took exactly 30 seconds to break down into absolute carnage and pandemonium,

02:44which really should be the vital for the entire SmackDown Tag Division in the year 2025.

02:51Did you see the shrug from Axiom?

02:54And all of a sudden, it's the Motor City Machine Guns will say, we'll take this position.

02:59The baseball slide drop kicks to DIY.

03:03This is one of those matches, the referee has zero chance of trying to keep control.

03:07Five hole, Saban takes out Ciampa and Gargano.

03:12Paddle four-way to see who's the number one contender.

03:27So the Wyatt Six, Wade, recently winning the WWE Tag Team Championships, defeating the Street Profits.

03:36And now the rest of the division, trying to put themselves in position to see who will be the number one contenders.

03:43By the way, we never, listen, we broadcast and then we move on to the next event.

03:47What was your big takeaway when you reflect on the Wyatt Six coming up?

03:51I mean, it wasn't a shock, that's the thing.

03:53They haven't had many matches over the past 12 months, but it just didn't feel like a shock.

03:57We had a few brief weeks of relative calm within this tag division,

04:04when the Street Profits had kind of taken out everyone.

04:07They looked like the champions, they were dominant.

04:09Wyatt's turn up, carnage is back.

04:12And unsurprisingly, under the guide of Uncle Howdy, Gold is with that faction.

04:20See DIY with their hands up in the air, Candice LeRae pointing out move after move there.

04:25And that is Candice LeRae, not Candice Michelle, as erroneously claimed by a certain individual a few days ago.

04:32I would like to clear that.

04:33A guy who I will stamp as the greatest of all time to ever put the headsets on, by the way.

04:38He could say that for another five years and he would still be the GOAT.

04:41You're a real sucker by you, Joe Tess, eh?

04:45He is who he is, Wade.

04:48All right, you can take a cheap shot occasionally.

04:50I do that a lot, you might notice.

04:57And now it's really DIY have come to the fore in this one.

05:00The former tag champs, but rather irate in recent months, claiming there's conspiracies against them.

05:07That Nick Oldis is holding them down in favor of the teams, such as the machine guns.

05:13Now they can take matters into their own hands.

05:16The mocking by Gargano as he looks over at Phoenix and Andrade.

05:20Well, that is part of the armor of DIY, being that mild irritant that Johnny Gargano is,

05:27getting under the skin of his opponents.

05:30And now really getting under the skin of the Motor City machine guns,

05:36causing some mass damage to that midsection.

05:42Alex Shelley has really taken a whooping here, and a smart move by DIY,

05:47keeping Alex Shelley away from all corners, apart from their own.

05:50As they send him right back into that ground.

05:53And then again DIY, taunting the team of Andrade and Phoenix.

06:03Well, that's really high IQ from Tommaso Ciampa.

06:06You don't like it, but with the referee's back turned, it's now a double-team free-for-all in the corner of DIY.

06:11Right to that sternum of Alex Shelley.

06:23Great conditioning for these two in DIY.

06:26A lot of people hate their attitude, hate their approach.

06:29But man, a couple of cardio machines, and Alex Shelley cannot get a shot in here.

06:38It's been a spectacular night in front of a sold-out Frostbank Center, 15,112.

06:58Fatal 4-Way number one contender to be determined here, as Alex Shelley looks to fight back.

07:05Well, the last three minutes have been the DIY show,

07:09and all of the offense has been thrown the way of Alex Shelley.

07:12But Chris Saban has dived in illegally, I might add,

07:16and added a little breathing room there for Shelley,

07:18who needs out of this one in the worst way.

07:21And with that tag from Axiom, he is out of there.

07:24Yeah, he needed that badly.

07:27That's the team of Fraxium, who remember the hot start they got off to

07:31in joining this SmackDown roster.

07:33They are now in the midst of action.

07:35Well, Fraxium did get cheated out of their tag championship opportunity several weeks ago,

07:39when the titles were still held by the Street Profits.

07:43Every team in the locker room hitting the ring, and that one got thrown out.

07:46They never got themselves a rematch.

07:48Well, now, they can earn that rematch against a different championship team.

07:53Yeah, and here is the dive train of Fraxium.

07:58Side by side they go, as Axiom came out and sent Ray Phoenix right over our announce desk.

08:07And now, up top, the missile dropkick into the cover.

08:12One, two, four.

08:15And just pushing aside Nathan Fraser was Andrade.

08:19Smart move as he drags Ciampa over into the corner.

08:23Once again, such a flash.

08:24Double team moves there from Fraxium, so difficult to defend.

08:28But the same could be said, perhaps, when Ray Phoenix and Andrade get going.

08:33Phoenix, a spinning kick in the corner, the animal kick.

08:38He is so equipped with that.

08:41This team puts forth an amazing pace, Wade.

08:45Yeah, it's that chemistry that has been immediate for these two.

08:48Completely on the same page.

08:51It's the kind of chemistry that the Motor City machine guns have taken 20 years to build.

08:55Three amigos.

08:57Well, somehow Andrade and Ray Phoenix found the shortcut.

09:02And it may well lead them to a championship opportunity here, because bodies are dropping.

09:06Fourth time that they have been teammates.

09:09And they're on the verge of potentially fighting for gold.

09:13Frog Splash Phoenix to be the number one contenders.

09:16And everybody comes in to make the save.

09:20The mass piling.

09:21Every team desperately trying to cling on to their hopes of challenging the Wyatt Six,

09:26which I question, do you really wanna get in the ring with the Wyatt Six,

09:30even with gold on the line being the sweetener?

09:33Look at that scene as everybody's in the ring.

09:35Reminder, we are just moments away from the undisputed WWE Championship contract signing.

09:40Cody Rose and John Cena are here in San Antonio.

09:44The contract signing just moments away, two weeks away from meeting up at SummerSlam,

09:49the rematch from WrestleMania.

09:51Look at this, we're getting a relay sprint here, and it is the Motor City machine guns

09:56who are getting the best of it.

09:58I can't even remember who's legal at this point.

10:00It has been such carnage in that ring.

10:04Shelly and Saban trying to get after Fraxium.

10:09Sling Blade by Nathan Fraser.

10:11He is just lightning fast, as are these two.

10:14Andrade and Rey Fenix enter the fray again.

10:18And I've never seen a referee look more confused than Ryan Tran looks right now.

10:24Picking a victim, criss-crossing and delivering.

10:29Just everything so sweet.

10:31They've got it, they just have it.

10:33The striking attack, you brought it up earlier.

10:36Sometimes two forces come together, and the chemistry is instant.

10:40You're seeing that with Andrade and Fenix.

10:41Yeah, blistering start to the career as a tag team for these two.

10:46Although, DIY to manipulators- Gargano.

10:50Who may well manipulate their way all the way to victory here.

10:56Just able to break free.

10:58Number one contender match is on fire here in San Antonio.

11:04Nice.

11:05Ciampa delivers, Project Ciampa.

11:07Moments ago, Tommaso Ciampa delivering that Project Ciampa as he sent Axiom crashing down on top of his knees and the crowd here.

11:26In San Antonio already chanting, this is awesome win.

11:41Yeah, it's been incredible matchup thus far.

11:44Referee having zero chance to keep control, but it's ongoing and we still need a victor.

11:51And closing in on that now, perhaps, is Tommaso Ciampa who has Axiom in severe agony.

11:59Well, teeing off that well was Tommaso Ciampa, but get a little cocky with it and you simply can't do that.

12:21With someone like Axiom, a tag specialist after his time in NXT alongside Nathan Fraser.

12:29For many people, the best tag team on planet Earth.

12:32I'm not buying that until they win gold here on SmackDown, however.

12:37Oh, and keep your eye on Tommaso Ciampa here.

12:39What is he trying to cook up?

12:42What is he trying to cook?

12:43What is he trying to cook?

12:44What is he trying to cook?

12:45What is he trying to cook?

12:51What is he trying to cook?

12:53Get in there, go!

12:54Woo!

12:55.

12:57All the way out into the floor.

13:02Are you kidding me?

13:06Ciampa, all the way out into the floor, are you kidding me?

13:11Kryptonite Crunch taking out all comers, including Ciampa, it seems.

13:18All decent, all decent, all decent, all decent, all decent.

13:24And you consider the recent path for DIY.

13:28They have been searching for their signature win to get back into the mix and

13:33re-earn the gold, the glory they once held tight.

13:37We've got two former tag champs competing in this match, of course, DIY and

13:43the Motor City Machine Guns, and they, based on resume, would have to be

13:47everyone's favorite to pull out a victory here.

13:50And it seems like that may well come true in the case of DIY imminently.

13:56Axiom after taking that massive top rope, Kryptonite Crunch to the outside.

14:03And a booming knee to the jaw.

14:07Knee is so effective with that.

14:10Peeling down the knee pad, exposing the knee, and

14:16Axiom's jaw ate all of that, and now Johnny Gargano in there for a double whammy.

14:23Looking for the fairytale ending is Gargano and Ciampa.

14:27With the added Super K for good measure, but Johnny Gargano taking his eye off the ball,

14:33and now Chris Saban is legal.

14:35Crap.

14:36Compelling action here in San Antonio, Fatal 4-Way, DIY, the Motor City Machine Guns right now in the mix.

14:55Oh, they're lining up the facial, and they deliver it on Gargano.

14:58Well, it is the veteran tag team, the former tag champs here, Motor City Machine Guns,

15:04who are perhaps hitting peak form at the right time in this one amidst-

15:09Oh, they're looking for skull and bones!

15:11Well, that's the danger, and Andrade knew it, stopping it in its tracks.

15:15And now Felix getting in the fight, and now it's Andrade legal with that tag to Chris Saban.

15:20Yeah, he tagged himself right in, up against Axiom is Andrade, as he sends Saban flying.

15:28And you've gotta move fast, all bodies are down, you're in there one-on-one with an opponent,

15:33and a match that has been chaos from the off, you have to take the chance, get the job finished.

15:38Andrade may be lining up, that fame moonsault, but Axiom quick to get up there,

15:43and just smashes the back of his left leg.

15:46WWE's first ever Spanish Superstar, and look what's lining up here for Fraxium.

15:52Is he looking for the Spanish fly?

15:54Signature style, and he delivers on Andrade.

15:57Meanwhile, Phoenix splashed, my oh my, is it gonna be Fraxium?

16:01There was a tag to the boot of Nathan Fraser there, blink of an eye, by Tommaso Ciampo's now legal.

16:07He's the legal man, he's the legal man!

16:10Wow, Ray Phoenix!

16:13With his wits about him, just went DIY as crafty as you like.

16:19We're about to steal that victory like parasites.

16:24Ray Phoenix was ready for it, and Ciampo ain't ready for this!

16:28Curling back in, is Ray Phoenix!

16:32This is awesome stuff!

16:35Corkscrewing down to the floor!

16:38Everyone wiped out except for two!

16:43Feel the momentum!

16:45Andrade, looking to deliver the message!

16:49Candice LeRae is up on the ropes!

16:53Recently rejoined the- Oh, there's a roll-up!

16:55There's a roll-up for DIY!

16:57Kick-out from Andrade!

16:59Kick-out from Andrade!

17:02Now they've got him!

17:03Oh!

17:04And misfires!

17:05Friendly fire from Gargama to Ciampa!

17:08Oh!

17:09And the spinning elbow!

17:11That spinning elbow!

17:12And now he says, come on in!

17:15Let's do it!

17:16Let's do it!

17:17Here comes Phoenix, set to fly!

17:20Go!

17:21Meanwhile, deliver the message, Andrade!

17:26To be number one contenders!

17:30Here are your winners!

17:35Ray Phoenix and Andrade!

17:41Well, one word!

17:44Disarray!

17:45That was that entire match, but standing tall

17:48amidst the disarray is this new tag team!

17:51And next one-
