00:12:57did the bad guys 2 only in theaters august 1st
00:13:00and her opponent accompanied by raquel rodriguez representing the new
00:13:29the judgment day
00:13:31she is one half of the wwe women's tag team champions
00:13:38from laredo texas
00:13:41roxanne perez
00:13:45worked her way up to be a two-time nxt champion now really wait a regular on the biggest stages in the company
00:13:54come summer slam perez will have a major starting role and already her fifth ple of this year
00:14:01well she's already acquired one half of the tag championships alongside raquel rodriguez they will defend against the unlikely but incredible team of alexa bliss and charlotte flair that is summer slam saturday one week from tomorrow
00:14:16saturday one week from tomorrow
00:14:23tag team gold since 2022
00:14:24of course with charlotte
00:14:26charlotte next week the allies of convenience as they've been dubbed the were not friends crowd that seemingly becomes closer and closer every week that could all change but first this tough test in singles action now this is the flip side of the matchup we saw
00:14:42oh wait for it quick pin there we matchup we saw last week which was raquel versus charlotte flair and it was a victory for charlotte flair with a major assist on the outside from alexa bliss who's making a red hot start in this one but the underhanded tactics of roxanne perez come to the floor
00:15:02yeah she was trying to close it early was bliss but now roxanne perez and right back into it with the roll up and again the kick out by perez who comes with a slapping right hand who gets the attention of bliss and that simply did not work at all for roxanne perez trying to throw alexa bliss off her game far easier said than done
00:15:23covers up and covers up and then goes to the body
00:15:27it's been a veteran move there from alexa bliss
00:15:32catching the relatively inexperienced roxanne
00:15:35oh
00:15:36she turns to rodriguez for a moment and now flair just steps right over face to face with rodriguez
00:15:53first time that alexa bliss and roxanne perez have gone one-on-one against each other of course
00:16:04come next week at summer slam it will be the ww women's tag team championship match bliss and
00:16:09flair against ralkell rodriguez and roxanne perez you talk about a little earlier what started as
00:16:15allies of convenience i think has blossomed into a major friendship despite the fact they may not
00:16:21admit it themselves but that was nice there from raquel rodriguez brief distraction you don't have
00:16:28to ask roxanne perez twice to take advantage of that no she does quickly with a series of punches
00:16:35right down against the back of the neck of alexa bliss and that was incredibly smart of raquel
00:16:41rodriguez because it was all going the way of alexa bliss and somehow someway roxanne perez needed
00:16:47a little help and it came from big mammy cool hooks the leg looks to put this away and the kick out
00:16:52by bliss you bring up the emerging relationship of flair and bliss i wonder if earlier in their
00:16:59careers this could have developed if there would have been enough awareness to understand what's
00:17:04been in front of them in recent weeks well sometimes experience and time in the game is needed to really
00:17:10come to terms with tagging with someone else and sharing a little of that spotlight
00:17:14and especially in the case of charlotte flair who has for large portions of her career been all
00:17:21about herself perhaps she's softened that stance somewhat and thus getting the results and you see
00:17:28look at raquel rodriguez just mocking alexa bliss right in her face well those mind games that have
00:17:34been the raquel rodriguez story over the past couple of years ever since she got involved with the
00:17:40judgment day and now has taken roxanne perez under her wing and boy do they look good together
00:17:47and it really has turned into punishment time now for alexa bliss ever since roxanne perez got that
00:17:58upper hand she is not letting go but you know alexa bliss with all her experience is going to keep on
00:18:04scrambling to try and get her foothold back in this one and it looks the leg and again bliss finds
00:18:13enough with the encouragement of charlotte flair pom-poms we could go i know a week ago it was bliss who was
00:18:19playing this cheerleader role and now charlotte takes to it right away quite literally in the case of
00:18:24charlotte flair something i never thought i would see but she's rocking them well unfortunately for alexa
00:18:30she's not quite holding up her end of the bargain right now at least that's interesting just a week
00:18:38removed from charlotte flair saying remember i'm still charlotte flair but you can see as the comfort
00:18:43has grown with these two well alexa bliss needs charlotte flair to be charlotte flair i need you at
00:18:50your best at summer slam saturday if we are going to win gold together against this duo who have rapidly
00:18:56become a dominant force in the tag ranks the arrogance of perez as she feels she's in complete
00:19:05control you should be arrogant you're dominating someone as accomplished as alexa bliss yeah
00:19:10be as arrogant as you like but first off please please close the job
00:19:15alexa bliss trying to turn things around against roxanne perez the dragon screw helps out singles
00:19:27action here a week before alexa bliss and charlotte flair will take on perez and rodriguez
00:19:33for the wwe women's tag team championship it's been about three or four straight minutes of abuse from
00:19:39roxanne perez towards bliss but this is that championship caliber performer we have known
00:19:46and loved for the past several years that is alexa bliss reaching top tier once again yeah the five
00:19:52time world champion three time the women's tag team champion as charlotte flair her recent teammate
00:20:02now taking on below the role of chief supporter volley of offense here from alexa bliss and how quickly
00:20:11the tight turn
00:20:15after such a hot start by roxanne perez oh is she lining it up looking for sister abigail but look at perez
00:20:23raking right across the face in the eyes and that was superb referee oh what in the world referee didn't
00:20:29see the eye rake the referee certainly did not see that that is two women completely on the same page
00:20:35there raquel rodriguez opens the door for perez but charlotte flair is going to send her over the
00:20:41barrier into timekeeper and just clean up that mess wiping out one of the most powerful women in the
00:20:47entire division and perez far from impressed by that the 14-time world champion helping out as now bliss
00:20:58looks to take control can't blame flair for getting involved there she may be the raquel
00:21:05they've got herself involved in the match and here we go could this be twisted bliss oh on the outside
00:21:10of big boot by raquel rodriguez well simply wasn't enough to keep big mammy cool down for
00:21:17long and wait up she's lining her up possible power bombing look at alexa bliss her concentration
00:21:24moves now to rodriguez and instead of a twisted bliss she's going to the outside with it and the
00:21:31twisted bliss to raquel rodriguez to the floor well bliss had to do something charlotte flair was in
00:21:38major trouble they're about to receive a power bomb perhaps to the apron that diversion is temporarily
00:21:45saved roxan oh it's a roll-up it's a roll-up perez wins it
00:21:51alexa bliss went to help
00:22:04help charlotte flair cleared out raquel rodriguez instead of the twisted bliss on perez it gave perez
00:22:14time enough to come up with that win well they are one win a piece now as alexa bliss is busted
00:22:20open the decider will be at summer slam saturday a week tomorrow wwe women's tag championships
00:22:28on the line between these four here's kathy kelly
00:22:33yeah joe i am here with jade cargill and we're just a week out from the biggest opportunity of
00:22:38your career a singles championship match against tiffany stratton at summer slam tell me how are you
00:22:44feeling kathy i fought through something that was supposed to take me out and here i am as your queen
00:22:49of the ring next week at summer slam i'm gonna show them all why i am a natural born champion jade thank
00:22:58you so much she is just radiating confidence joe i'm sure you are not talking about jade radiating
00:23:07confidence girls secure the perimeter and get me coffee while i deal with this
00:23:14i was screwed out of that queen of the ring tournament okay
00:23:18i should have been at summer slam wrestling wrestling tiffany stratton not crown stealing
00:23:23cargill she's just so stupid and maybe it's slow it's useless but there's a cuter word for it
00:23:37i know she's right behind me
00:23:46oh joseph finding out you forgot you're right
00:23:54well joseph green's mouth getting her in trouble right now and i
00:23:58jade just slams her into the mirrored wall i think they're heading our way joe jade cargo
00:24:08who's going to be fighting for the championship at summer slam
00:24:10is now just carrying chelsea green out to the entryway
00:24:21attempting to scramble away is chelsea green but in hot pursuit now is the storm and this is one storm
00:24:29you simply cannot outrun yeah go talk now she says go run now she says throws her right into the ring
00:24:38we got a referee in there we got a bell we got a match we got chelsea and jade right away
00:24:45oh the big pump kick by jade cargo
00:24:52can you believe this it boiled up just add some water and it's jade and chelsea right here in
00:24:59cleveland right now
00:25:11chelsea green was running her mouth in an interview with kathy kelly the next thing you know jade cargo's
00:25:17listening to every word wait good every single word and now paying the price for that is miss green
00:25:25and the secret hervis got here way way too late left chelsea green completely unprotected i would
00:25:33find them on week's wages for incompetence yeah not much protection going on there for chelsea is
00:25:41actually i am the direct her of operations so you are my assistant no i am not assistant and we will
00:25:48be implementing those fines forthwith that's all on you brother you take that assignment as you want
00:25:54i'll sit and watch consider it done jade with chelsea right up top right away oh and just slamming
00:26:01her head down on the top turnbuckle chelsea green hasn't got a single shot in on jay cargill
00:26:08from the off and who can blame her didn't even get a chance to warm up
00:26:15jade chasing her down i mean chelsea's looking for the exit i don't think chelsea knew what she was
00:26:21stepping into it all can you blame her what would you do if mike tyson was coming after you come on
00:26:25you'd start running too right this is simply unfair and how this referee has allowed this match to go ahead
00:26:35referee checking on chelsea green the former united states champion the inaugural united states champion the
00:26:43greatest ever united states champion oh they've had half a year of united states champions jade easily
00:26:50getting out of harm's way there with that cover well it was a nice tactical move by chelsea green
00:26:55little divert distraction from the referee secret her best get involved and this match has done a
00:27:03switcheroo and chelsea now looking every inch the former united states champion once again
00:27:09look at the power and strength of jade cargill yeah but look at the technique of chelsea green
00:27:23no daylight in that hole whatsoever squeeze in for dear life jade looks to undo it and she does with a
00:27:32series of elbows right to the midsection before chelsea slams her down at first and now little verbals for
00:27:39good measure
00:27:43just ragdolling jade cargill at this point
00:27:50jade the number one contender to tiffany stratton's wwe women's championship will go head-to-head
00:27:57summer slam saturday one week from tomorrow not the ideal preparation whatsoever for jade cargill
00:28:06it's always interesting to see how the superstars approach their major
00:28:11matches at a ple like that and the lead up to it this came out of left field this battle of chelsea
00:28:17green if it were me i personally if i was jade cargo would not have shown up at smackdown i'd have
00:28:23taken the week off nice early night get some rest a little bit of training but instead she's under the
00:28:30cut from chelsea green
00:28:38jade cargo is a week away from fighting for the wwe women's championship chelsea green foolishly thinks
00:28:44she's safe right now but here comes cargo well cargill's ability to bounce back is incomprehensible
00:28:51after taking a real beating over the last couple of minutes from chelsea green this is why jade
00:28:57cargill is your queen of the ring and why she is number one contender for tiffany stratton
00:29:04at summer slam offensive assault the fall away slam the kip up and now
00:29:10splashing into the corner against chelsea green who opened her mouth just minutes ago not realizing jade
00:29:17cargo was right behind her and now jade's been taking it out on chelsea the secret purpose always
00:29:23present ringside to try to come to the aid of chelsea green lateral press hook the leg chelsea
00:29:31looking for the win jade gets rid of her jade cargo's neck snapping violently against the mat there and oh here
00:29:37we go might be time on prettier lined up no power through did cargill
00:29:44and locked in could it be jaded she delivers jade cargo
00:29:50here is your winner jade cargill oh and alba fire and piper niven on the attack instantly and sometimes in
00:30:09life when you win really you lose well jade can't roll well this is jade cargo's opponent away from
00:30:19tomorrow summer slam tiffany stratton wwe women's champ apparently here to save the day and it's tiffany

00:34:39Cody
00:34:41Rowe
00:34:43Wade, let's go back to last week
00:34:47Cody's contract signing moment
00:34:49That puts a rest
00:34:50Any thought
00:34:51Of what he's willing to do
00:34:52To take his gold back
00:34:53To John Cena
00:34:53I am not going to be
00:34:57At SummerSlam
00:34:58I am emotionally exhausted
00:35:01And we all feel
00:35:03That it is best
00:35:04I do not physically compete
00:35:06At SummerSlam
00:35:07Cody
00:35:08Thank you so much
00:35:10I appreciate you
00:35:11You are going to get that rematch
00:35:12Good night
00:35:13Good night, San Antonio
00:35:14Well thankfully
00:35:16For Planet Earth
00:35:17Cody saw things a little differently
00:35:19Jumping Cena
00:35:21In the R way
00:35:22Before Cena
00:35:22Turned things around
00:35:24Only for Cody
00:35:26To get back on top
00:35:28To get back on top
00:35:29To get back on top
00:35:29And finally pull the trigger
00:35:31Before dumping the carcass
00:35:34Of Cena
00:35:35Through a table
00:35:36Leaving him in a heap
00:35:37Check the fine print
00:35:39At SummerSlam
00:35:41It's a street fight
00:35:44It's a street fight
00:35:45WWE Championship
00:35:47On the line
00:35:48SummerSlam Sunday
00:35:50And the street fight rules
00:35:52Great reception for Cody
00:35:54Here in Cleveland
00:35:55As Friday Night SmackDown
00:35:56Is presented by
00:35:57The R.A.B.
00:35:59The R.A.B.
00:36:00I never came to
00:36:01You tried to tell me
00:36:04What to do
00:36:05You tried to tell me
00:36:07You tried to cry
00:36:08You tried to cry
00:36:39Yesterday, WWE and pro wrestling lost one of its giants in Hulk Hogan.
00:36:54And I know emotions and feelings regarding it are complicated, but what is not complicated
00:37:02is his accomplishments and his contributions to WWE, to sports entertainment, to pro wrestling,
00:37:10to entertainment as a whole.
00:37:11They are staggering and they are indisputable.
00:37:14So, as someone who gets to stand here and say that I'm a WWE superstar, he was the original
00:37:26and I just want to take a moment to say, thank you, Hulk Hogan.
00:37:30Now, Cleveland, there are street fights and then there's what's going to happen at SummerSlam.
00:37:49We're not talking about virtue.
00:37:55We're not talking about victory.
00:37:58We're talking about violence.
00:38:03Because that's what virtue demands.
00:38:06Sometimes doing the right thing doesn't look like the right thing.
00:38:09Last week, John Cena saw that.
00:38:11He'll get plenty more at MetLife Stadium.
00:38:14But here's the tricky thing.
00:38:20I don't want to wrestle this John Cena.
00:38:29I don't want to fight a guy who didn't even want this match in the first place.
00:38:34I don't want to fight a guy who's counting the days until he's out the door.
00:38:39No.
00:38:40At SummerSlam, I want to fight the real John Cena.
00:38:50Because if I'm going to stand here and own it, I need to know that I can go through the
00:38:56very best and the title that John Cena has.
00:38:59It's the biggest title in our game.
00:39:01It means he is the very best.
00:39:03This isn't about nostalgia.
00:39:05This isn't about headlines.
00:39:07This is about a once-in-a-generation superstar.
00:39:10Someone who redefined what it is to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:14So, John Cena, if this is your last SummerSlam, come like it is your first.
00:39:20I want you up there talking to Stu the cameraman.
00:39:24I want you wearing the title the right way.
00:39:26I want you running to the ring.
00:39:29I want all the hustle.
00:39:30I want all the loyalty and the respect.
00:39:34We can beat it out of each other.
00:39:36I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:37I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:38I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:39I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:40I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:41I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:42I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:43I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:44I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:45I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:46I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:47I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:48I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:49I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:50I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:51I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:52I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:39:53I want you to be a pro wrestler.
00:40:24The reason for wanting that fight against the real John Cena is because I need to know.
00:40:38I need to know that this story that we have all been part of is not just fantasy, is not just legacy.
00:40:47I need to know that it meant something, that it was real, and the only person who has the answer to that question is you, John Cena.
00:40:59I'll see you next week.
00:41:03So Cody doesn't want what he says this version of John Cena is.
00:41:12He wants the real John Cena, and we're going to get it in a street fight at SummerSlam.
00:41:18Yeah, this is a Cody Rhodes who is laser-focused, locked in.
00:41:22You see that look in his eye.
00:41:24There is something burning deep inside.
00:41:27Cody Rhodes, this man wants the very best because he believes he is the very best.
00:41:33And we're going to find out SummerSlam Sunday on the street fight rules for the WWE Championship.
00:41:39I'll tell you, the other stipulation match at SummerSlam that has us overly excited is the Steel Cage for the United States Championship.
00:41:46Jacob Batu, Solo Sokoa.
00:41:49It's how it came to be last week on SmackDown that's incredible.
00:41:54You can see moments ago, a multi-car accident involving members of the MFT, heard outside of Frost Bank Arena here in San Antonio, Texas, ahead of Friday night SmackDown.
00:42:07Once a criminal, always a criminal.
00:42:12This was after Tate Kimoto, having investigated by the cops, and from Jimmy Uso, and Jimmy Uso got them down on the MFTs.
00:42:23Even the massive talent, Tonga, taken out in the process, utter carnage, capped off by this massive moonsault.
00:42:35Look at me, Solo.
00:42:37You will defend your United States Championship against Jacob Batu inside the Steel Cage.
00:42:47He's all yours.
00:42:50Right there, uh-huh.
00:42:51Get that stupid animal, what the hell?
00:42:53Much to the surprises of Colin, it was he who spent the night in locker for framing an innocent Samoan werewolf.
00:43:03Solo, let's get right to the point.
00:43:06I loved you, but you made it like this.
00:43:11You tried to get me framed.
00:43:13You tried to send me to jail.
00:43:15When I told my family, you, and everybody else, that I'm never going back.
00:43:22Last week, Adam Pearce told me he was going to lock me down in the cage at SummerSlam with you.
00:43:30You see, I don't mind being locked down in that cage for the U.S. title, one-on-one with you.
00:43:38Because at the end of the day, I'm about to dog walk your ass.
00:43:42Y'all know what I mean?
00:43:43Hey!
00:43:46You and I have some money for this business.
00:43:48Six weeks ago, you put me on the shelf.
00:43:50Took me out.
00:43:51Give me just enough time to figure out exactly who I am.
00:43:54A guy who's went toe-to-toe with legends.
00:43:56Outlasted monsters.
00:43:58Beaten icons.
00:43:59Solo had to remind me that there's a bigger game at play, and you're just a pawn.
00:44:03And me?
00:44:04I'm not the victim.
00:44:06I'm not the target.
00:44:07I'm the main character.
00:44:09That's why I went to Nick Aldis and got us a match right now.
00:44:12So just so you know, you got the wrong guy.
00:44:14On the wrong day.
00:44:15In the wrong city.
00:44:16Because Cleveland is my hometown.
00:44:18Because I'm the men's.
00:44:21And I'm...
00:44:23...back.
00:44:29Ooh!
00:44:32That's what he's coming to, huh?
00:44:36A match right now, huh?
00:44:41Well, come on with it.
00:44:50Oh, God.
00:44:51What the hell did you just do?
00:44:54Is he out of his mind?
00:44:56I don't care if it's your hometown.
00:44:57You simply don't do that.
00:44:59Oh, I mean, that's Cleveland tough and fan-backed, but doing that to the Samoan werewolf?
00:45:07The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:45:12Introducing first, residing in Hollywood, California, weighing in 221 pounds,
00:45:23The Miz!
00:45:24The 2 and The Miz coming up.
00:45:29WWE Universe, ever wonder what it means to be a luchador?
00:45:32WWE Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio, and the star of Bad Guys 2, Anthony Ramos.
00:45:37Break it all down in this exclusive look.
00:45:39Check it out.
00:45:40In Lucha Libre, sometimes you're the hero, and sometimes...
00:45:47You could be the bad guy.
00:45:50Who's ready for some fireball?
00:45:54I'm keeping my eye on you.
00:45:56What was that?
00:45:57I panicked, okay?
00:45:58I'm a panicker.
00:45:59It's not just about winning.
00:46:01It's about who you become when you put the suit on and enter the ring.
00:46:05You ever been deboned by a chicken?
00:46:07Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:46:09You'll be tested and pushed to your limits.
00:46:11Sorry, sorry, nerves.
00:46:12The littlest Lucha Lord can land the biggest hit.
00:46:17Even the one who talks too much.
00:46:19I'm gonna tear him apart, limb by limb.
00:46:22You talk pretty tough for a mango with teeth.
00:46:24Even the bad guys can go good.
00:46:26Go get them, guys!
00:46:28All together now!
00:46:29Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, but never trust one in the chicken mass.
00:46:34Whoa, man, what's with all the hate on the chicken soup?
00:46:37The bad guys, too, in theaters on this first.
00:46:41Don't underestimate the chicken soup until you try it.
00:46:43You know what's funny, Damon?
00:47:05You felt that it was necessary to stick your nose in my business, and the debt that I wanted to collect is now inherited by you.
00:47:23So, Alistair, do you think I owe you a debt?
00:47:29You remind me of this collector I used to know back in the street.
00:47:32You know the type.
00:47:34He would collect what was owed and then take a little extra for himself.
00:47:38Well, I stepped in from one of my boys like I did with Truth.
00:47:41And he didn't like that too much.
00:47:42And when I give him my best shot, he never collected from anybody ever again.
00:47:49See, a lot of people think that you and I are cut from the same cloth.
00:47:52The truth is, is that you fight to prove who you are, whereas I, I fight to reveal who you are.
00:48:02I ain't nothing like you.
00:48:04All you see in me is everything you want to be.
00:48:08I will unmake you.
00:48:10I will tear down the walls that you've built to hold back the truth.
00:48:14And when there's nothing left, for the first time, priest, you will see yourself.
00:48:19And I promise you, you will not like it.
00:48:23Next week, I ain't hiding who I am.
00:48:26I'm the bad guy.
00:48:28And when I show up to my backyard, I ain't coming to play peacemaker.
00:48:32I'm bringing these hands, and I'm gonna punish you.
00:48:36Oh, huge match next week.
00:48:41Two creatures of the night who thrive in darkness.
00:48:44Well, they're gonna step into the bright lights of a ring in Newark, New Jersey.
00:48:50Next Friday, Damian Priest, one-on-one with Aleister Black, live on the SmackDown.
00:48:56That's next Friday.
00:48:57What a way to kick off SummerSlam weekend.
00:48:59Hey, the bad guys are...
00:49:00He's gonna be sitting right there for our WWE Tag Team Championship match coming up in moments.
00:49:16But right now, The Miz weighed, and perhaps a puzzling move like the Cleveland Browns quarterback Depthroom.
00:49:23The Miz slapped Fatou and has got himself in this spot.
00:49:27This has been away for six weeks after being sent crashing through our Timekeeper's booth by this werewolf.
00:49:37And I don't know if coming back to try and get even was the smartest idea from the A-Lister.
00:49:43And his opponent from Sacramento, California, weighing in at 291 pounds, the Samoian Werewolf, Jacob Fatou!
00:50:06Jacob Fatou in the midst of what we'll describe as complex family matters that had him turn against Solo.
00:50:15Solo is absolutely beloved by the fans.
00:50:18He's as vicious as could be.
00:50:20Lost the U.S. title at Night of Champions.
00:50:22Been fighting back against the MFTs for weeks now.
00:50:25And come next week, it's steel cage time.
00:50:27Yeah, Fatou taking on the U.S. champ Solo Sokoa inside a steel cage on his SummerSlam Sunday next weekend.
00:50:38But right now, business to take care of against a man who unfathomably slapped him just moments ago.
00:50:46That man being The Miz.
00:50:48Miz, what the hell were you thinking?
00:50:50Now he's thinking unfinished business, as he would describe it, for what Jacob did to him that put him on the shelf for weeks.
00:50:57As The Miz, quick to get at it, with left hand after left hand from that southpaw stance before being thrown right into the corner.
00:51:05And then running into the big boot is Fatou.
00:51:08Well, tactically, this has been great from The Miz until it was.
00:51:12And he was hit and moved, hit and moved.
00:51:14And then suddenly, the Samoan werewolf does what the Samoan werewolf does.
00:51:21Yes, we do know exactly what you mean.
00:51:24And now, Miz knows all about it, too.
00:51:27Yeah, you find out pretty quickly, don't you, against Fatou?
00:51:30Listen to this crowd here in Cleveland.
00:51:32The Miz's hometown, but they just love Fatou.
00:51:36This is a massacre.
00:51:37Oh, Miz just about getting out of the way in the nick of time.
00:51:41Now, Miz has been keeping busy over the past few weeks.
00:51:44Hosting gladiators, hosting his golf show, Miz Golf, on YouTube.
00:51:50All of which sounds a hell of a lot easier than stepping in the ring with the Samoan werewolf.
00:51:55Yeah, big difference between being a ritzy network and streaming TV host
00:52:00and being opposite Fatou when he's enraged and he just got slapped.
00:52:04The familiar entrance of his chief rival, Solo Sokoa and the MFTs mid-match, making their way down.
00:52:25Well, this match could be over, pending Solo and the MFTs next move.
00:52:29But with that distraction, Miz pounces with the chop block.
00:52:34Oh!
00:52:35And perhaps that's all Solo Sokoa needed to do this evening.
00:52:40With the distraction, he sends Fatou into the post.
00:52:43Next weekend, Jacob Fatou will compete for the U.S. title against Solo Sokoa, who is standing over him.
00:53:02Right, look at Miz mocking him.
00:53:04As Solo and the MFTs stand over Jacob Fatou.
00:53:09Well, Miz is always in the hunt for friends because he quite simply doesn't have any most of the time.
00:53:15And you could do a lot worse than making friends with Solo Sokoa and the MFTs.
00:53:21That is quite the backup.
00:53:25The A-lister here in front of his hometown crowd looking to get the best of Jacob Fatou.
00:53:33Well, he certainly is getting the best of Jacob Fatou, but we would be remiss if we didn't mention it.
00:53:39It was primarily because of the appearance of the quartet at ringside.
00:53:44With the Chieftain being the man Jacob Fatou will be facing Summer Slam Sunday inside the steel cage for that United States Championship Solo Sokoa.
00:53:57Miz's first match since May 2nd.
00:54:00As he returns to action, just pulls at that face, ripping across the nostrils of Fatou.
00:54:08I will say some people get a little overconfident when they're in their hometown.
00:54:12I know I certainly used to whenever we toured in the U.K., but the Miz was looking good.
00:54:20Looking for the pop-up Samoan, but instead the Miz able to get free and then deliver that elbow as Fatou came charging in.
00:54:27Miz has been around the block.
00:54:29He knows how to smell danger a mile off, but he didn't smell that danger.
00:54:33A crossbody was caught, and then Fatou slams him down.
00:54:36That's crazy power from the Samoan werewolf.
00:54:39An undersold aspect of this man's game.
00:54:45Oh, and now Solo Sokoa threatens to get up on the apron as Fatou was putting himself in position against the Miz.
00:54:54Well, Fatou simply cannot focus under these circumstances.
00:54:57Try as he might.
00:54:59A swan time, but the knees got up from the Miz.
00:55:03Well, it took about 15 minutes, but...
00:55:06Fatou to jump off the top rope due to that.
00:55:10Repeated distraction from Solo Sokoa, that allowed Miz to get the knees up in time.
00:55:16And once again, this one has turned around in a hurry.
00:55:19And Miz, and I can't blame him, has to enact some major punishment now to the Samoan werewolf.
00:55:25Whilst being a little lip service to Solo Sokoa and his men.
00:55:29And now the it kicks connecting in repetition, and suddenly Jake Kofatou looks like half the man he looked at formally.
00:55:47Incredible night of action.
00:56:05Friday night Smackdown here in Cleveland.
00:56:08Jacob Fatou, a week away from competing to try to regain his U.S. title against Solo Sokoa in a steel cage at SummerSlam.
00:56:15Solo and the MFTs are ringside.
00:56:17But right now it's the Miz who has returned to action against Solo Sokoa.
00:56:21The guy who put him on the shelf all the way back in May.
00:56:24Well it was looking like a massacre until Solo Sokoa et al. arrived at ringside causing multiple distractions.
00:56:32But now, Jacob Fatou with the second wing.
00:56:36And this is the last thing you want if you're a fan of the A-lister.
00:56:39Zenton comes in as he smashes in the man who held the U.S. title for 70 days before he lost to Sokoa at Night of Champions.
00:56:48And on that night, Fatou was pinned for the first time in his WWE career.
00:56:54And it came against Solo.
00:56:58Cleveland's very own The Miz in a tough spot.
00:57:01He slapped Fatou earlier tonight.
00:57:04And he's regretting every second of his actions tonight right now.
00:57:09Oh, would you look at the MFTs?
00:57:11Well, with that hip attack, Miz looked out cold.
00:57:14The MFTs dragging his carcass out of the ring.
00:57:17But that is no stake.
00:57:19Hey, man!
00:57:19There goes Fatou!
00:57:22A three-for-one deal from Jacob Fatou.
00:57:29Jacob Fatou looking ready to fight anything that moves right now.
00:57:34Tawatanga goes flying.
00:57:36Super kick against Solo.
00:57:38They will meet up at MetLife Stadium.
00:57:42Pop-up Samoan!
00:57:44My, oh my, Jacob!
00:57:47The werewolf roars!
00:57:49An unlikely victory, but now the consequences being enacted by the MFTs, driven by Solo Sokoa.
00:57:58You may have won the battle, but you certainly will not win the war.
00:58:03Not against this quartet.
00:58:04And it is four-on-one as JC Mateo continues with kicks.
00:58:11Oh, but help is on the way!
00:58:13Make it four-on-two.
00:58:15And if I see what I think I see, a steel jab.
00:58:18That is four-on-three.
00:58:20And dropping like flies at the MFTs, Big Jim here.
00:58:25Would you look at Big Jim?
00:58:28Tawatanga getting met up on the apron.
00:58:32Pulls down that top rope and Sobo goes flying.
00:58:34Big Jim just a step ahead tonight.
00:58:37Steel chair in hand, and across the back of the nearly seven-foot-tall Tawatanga.
00:58:45Oh, God!
00:58:46Oh, God!
00:58:47Oh, my!
00:58:48Look at that face!
00:58:49You're shrugging it off!
00:58:52Start running now, Jim!
00:58:55Big Jim wielding that chair, but what a boot to the face by Tawatanga!
00:59:01Now, Solo Sokoa and the rest of the MFTs are right back to business.
00:59:10It was a valiant effort from Jimmy Utsu, but what the hell are you supposed to do against
00:59:15this massive monster that is Tawatanga?
00:59:19Getting him up for the Samoan spike.
00:59:21Oh, and the gutsy Jacob Fatu trying to fight his way free!
00:59:26No quit in the Samoan werewolf whatsoever!
00:59:29How the hell is he pulling this off?
00:59:31He's taking all four of them on!
00:59:34Super kick!
00:59:35And another!
00:59:36And now, the hip attack against Solo Sokoa!
00:59:40Simply dog walking a bunch of fools tonight!
00:59:45And now he sees that steel chair.
00:59:49He sees the U.S. champion.
00:59:52He's a week away from trying to regain that gold.
00:59:56And Solo is a sitting duck.
01:00:02I'm trying to tell you!
01:00:05I do this!
01:00:06I do this, Solo!
01:00:09Well, this is a career ender right here.
01:00:12And Solo Sokoa in major peril!
01:00:15He's gonna...
01:00:15Oh!
01:00:15Tawatanga comes in and disrupts that plan of annihilation!
01:00:28While Solo Sokoa must be thanking his lucky stars that Tawatanga is by his side,
01:00:35the absolute difference-maker tonight!
01:00:41The newest and largest member of the MFTs slamming down Jacob Fatu!
01:00:48And as brave and courageous as the fight was against these four,
01:00:57it ends like this.
01:01:00Surrounded and spiked!
01:01:02This is more!
01:01:08More standing!
01:01:10You ain't coming back!
01:01:11This is more!
01:01:12A steal!
01:01:12Forever!
01:01:13Kate awaits!
01:01:16Next weekend at MetLife Stadium.
01:01:20I told you!
01:01:21I told you!
01:01:22Don't ever leave the family!
01:01:24Oh!
01:01:25I gave you everything!
01:01:27This is what happens when you betrayed me!
01:01:29Next week, a P-O-X!
01:01:31Message sent by Solo Sokoa loud and clear,
01:01:36and when the Samoan werewolf wakes up,
01:01:39that message will be received!
01:01:42I gave you everything!
01:01:44This is what...
01:01:45Steel Cage next week!
01:01:46Let's go backstage to Kathy Kelly!
01:01:55Yeah, Joe, I am here with the Street Profits and B-Fab,
01:01:58and you guys, the WWE Tag Team title's on the line tonight.
01:02:01I was hoping I could get your perspective
01:02:02on what you think that Ray Phoenix and Andrade need to do
01:02:06to capture those titles from the Wyatt Six.
01:02:09Kathy, the Wyatts are a different kind of enemy,
01:02:12so they need to be dealt with in a different kind of way.
01:02:15I mean, it's true, Kathy.
01:02:16The Wyatt Six do need to be dealt with in a specific type of way,
01:02:19and they have their own specific type of rules.
01:02:20But you know a rule that we don't understand?
01:02:22It's the simple fact that we weren't even in the qualifying match last week.
01:02:25Look, fam, it's all right.
01:02:27Because we don't give a damn who wins.
01:02:29All we know is we got next.
01:02:31Wait a minute!
01:02:32First of all, take that jersey off.
01:02:34I'm the Cleveland guy.
01:02:35You're not allowed to wear that, okay?
01:02:36Secondly, you had the titles, and you blew it.
01:02:38It's over.
01:02:39So why don't y'all just step aside?
01:02:41You're the best tag team in the world.
01:02:43Fix the mess that you all made.
01:02:44The mess we made?
01:02:45You're funny and funny-looking.
01:02:51Matter of fact, hey, hold on.
01:02:52Did Johnny kick you in the face last week?
01:02:55Did Johnny just kick you in the face?
01:02:56It's your damn business!
01:02:58That's family business!
01:02:59We already took care of it!
01:03:00You know what?
01:03:01Okay, at least we have a plan, okay?
01:03:04And your job is super simple.
01:03:06Stay out of the way!
01:03:10Stay out of the way?
01:03:11Mind your business!
01:03:12Hey, there's only one thing.
01:03:15That matters in the tag team division right now.
01:03:18And it's this red-hot world championship match
01:03:21that we have coming up.
01:03:22Andrade and Ray Phoenix
01:03:23trying to take the gold from the Wyatt Six.
01:03:27That's ahead.
01:03:32I wish physically I could do this longer.
01:03:36From a professional standpoint,
01:03:38I hope the investment that was made in me
01:03:40returns a hundredfold.
01:03:42I don't know if we've seen this before.
01:03:45John Cena, one of the greatest performers
01:03:52in the history of our business.
01:03:54And he has a 25-plus-year career
01:04:01of aches, pains, and injuries
01:04:03that will dictate the performance that he gives us.
01:04:08If it was a movie,
01:04:10we would CGI John Cena
01:04:12and make him look like everybody's
01:04:14greatest memory of John Cena.
01:04:17It's not a way it works in our business.
01:04:19Reality drives what we do.
01:04:21Loud and clear!
01:04:22Like John Cena!
01:04:23I just want everybody to be...
01:04:25entertained.
01:04:27I want to lead the business better than I found it,
01:04:28and I want to get out of it with my health.
01:04:2993,000 standing on their feet for this one, Gorilla!
01:04:47Andre the Giant facing the holster,
01:04:50the irresistible force beating the invisible object.
01:04:53Look at the size of the Giant.
01:04:557'5", 5'25".
01:04:59Oh!
01:05:00He dropped the big guy!
01:05:02He's hooking up!
01:05:04Look at this!
01:05:06He's hooking up!
01:05:08I don't believe it!
01:05:11Oh, he dropped in a big leg!
01:05:13He got it!
01:05:14I've never thought it could be done for Gorilla!
01:05:22Arguably the most memorable moment
01:05:24in the career of Hulk Hogan,
01:05:26as we remember the late Hulk Hogan.
01:05:28That was, of course,
01:05:29WrestleMania 3 in front of 93,000.
01:05:31Folks, we opened up this evening
01:05:32on Friday Night SmackDown
01:05:34with a fitting tribute,
01:05:35and I encourage you to head to WWE's social channels
01:05:38to watch that legacy piece.
01:05:41It was beautifully done
01:05:42on the life of Hulk Hogan.
01:05:50Julia!
01:05:54Ladies!
01:05:55Hi!

01:06:06Julia!
01:06:07I know that you think
01:06:08that you have no competition
01:06:09because no one's had the balls
01:06:10to step to you
01:06:11since you won the title.
01:06:13But muzzle's off.
01:06:15I'm here to talk about my rematch.
01:06:17Ooh!
01:06:18Right, right.
01:06:18Well, naturally,
01:06:19I'm one step ahead of you.
01:06:21I spoke to McAldis.
01:06:22You'll get your opportunity next week.
01:06:24And when Julia beats you again,
01:06:26you'll be nothing but another footnote
01:06:28in her portfolio.
01:06:30Look at me
01:06:31when I'm talking to you.
01:06:32Uh-uh, it's okay.
01:06:33I like a little fire.

01:09:28title the right way.
01:09:29He gets them.

01:09:32defending in a street fight
01:09:33against Cody Rhodes
01:09:35Sunday night
01:09:36at MetLife Stadium.
01:09:37kill him.
01:10:07Oh, no.
01:10:37The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it's for the WWE Dead Beam Championship!
01:11:00Introducing first, with a combined weight of 412 pounds,
01:11:06Andrade and Ray Phoenix!
01:11:12They won the number one contender's fatal four-way to earn this.
01:11:16Andrade hitting his signature message, Phoenix flying over the top.
01:11:19They're 4-0 as teammates. Can they win the championship match?
01:11:22We find out next.
01:11:27Closing in on our championship match here in Cleveland,
01:11:29where it's been a night of celebration and gratitude for the immense contributions of Hulk Hogan,
01:11:35who passed away yesterday at 71 years old.
01:11:37In remembrance of the Hulkster,
01:11:39WWE will donate all net proceeds of the Hulk Hogan Legacy Collection to his family.
01:11:45The collection is available now on Fanatics and WWE Shop for a limited time.
01:11:49SummerSlam, the biggest party of the summer at MetLife Stadium next weekend.
01:11:51SummerSlam, the biggest party of the summer at MetLife Stadium next weekend.
01:12:01Andrade's been the United States and NXT Champion, Ray Phoenix, for him obviously, first year on the roster, so this is a chance to collect his first WWE title.
01:12:11Four wins out of four for a brand new duo.
01:12:13And now you get the big one.
01:12:17.
01:12:32.
01:12:37.
01:14:46Since returning to SmackDown earlier this year, now perhaps the biggest test so far against a similarly undefeated duo of Rey Fenix and Andrade.
01:14:59That is what is on the line.
01:15:03WWE Tag Team Championship match from here at Rocket Arena in front of a massive crowd for Friday Night SmackDown in Cleveland.
01:15:12And Wade, Gacy comes straight on the attack against Phoenix.
01:15:17You talk about them being eerie and mysterious and having unique skills.
01:15:22What is the special sauce that has gotten Gacy and Loomis to this level?
01:15:28The truth is, it's sowing fear and confusion into the entire ranks of the tag division here on SmackDown.
01:15:35And somehow Phoenix and Andrade have to block out the noise and focus on what they do best, which, to be fair, is exactly how they've started this match.
01:15:45By the way, I love the strategy early, the ring generalship of just setting the tone and pace immediately as Andrade goes right into the three amigos.
01:15:56Well, the quicker you can end this and the quicker you can end this and get a hell out of a dodge with the tag championship, the better.
01:16:03Because, as you mentioned earlier, ominously waiting in the hour way is Uncle Howdy and the rest of the clan.
01:16:10How quickly Phoenix puts himself in position, but getting right up there is Loomis on the apron to push Phoenix away.
01:16:18Expect diversions, expect decoys, and expect underhanded tactics from the YF-6.
01:16:25As Gacy comes crashing hold.
01:16:27Just changing the tone, Loomis and Gacy after a red-hot start from Andrade and Ray Phoenix.
01:16:47Changing the tone and also changing the rules of the match at times, successfully behind the referee's back, which has been key to the success of the YF-6.
01:16:56It's those diversionary tactics that we mentioned that works on everyone, opponents and officials alike.
01:17:05Dexter Loomis leading down Phoenix with that elbow driving right to his upper back.
01:17:12And what's often mistaken when it comes to the YF-6, because they are such odd and out-there personalities,
01:17:19is when they get going, bell to bell, guys like Loomis and Gacy are so technically astute,
01:17:26they are so effective at tearing down and dismantling opponents,
01:17:30that should not be negated by the fact they have such warped personalities.
01:17:35And then if you're the opponent, you have to look over to that entryway and see Nicky Cross and Uncle Howdy.
01:17:40And looming there, you see big Eric Rowan, such a presence at all times.
01:17:47I mean, I don't know who scares me the most.
01:17:49Technically, it should be Rowan because he's so massive.
01:17:51But then you look at Nicky Cross and Uncle Howdy, and no thank you to any of them.
01:17:56So unpredictable is Nicky Cross.
01:18:00I can say that again.
01:18:01Remember when she was living under our desk at one point?
01:18:03Trying to forget it.
01:18:08And right now, Phoenix is fighting for dear life, and it seems to be a battle he is losing.
01:18:14As hope's starting to slip away, and you look at the expression on the face of Andrade,
01:18:20who came here to win gold tonight.
01:18:22He might not even get tagged in again the way this is going.
01:18:26Loomis has been delivering such damage to Ray Phoenix.
01:18:33Compounding that damage to the neck area of Ray Phoenix.
01:18:39As we speak, though, Ray Phoenix managed him to buy himself a little window,
01:18:45but that window just got shut down once again.
01:18:50Phoenix trying to fight his way free.
01:18:53Trying to fight his way free.
01:18:54Trying to get a tag.
01:18:55Oh, inches away.
01:18:57WWE Tag Team Championship match here in Cleveland.
01:19:07The Wyatt Six with a title defense.
01:19:10Their first title defense since winning the gold two weeks ago against the Street Profits.
01:19:15And how do you deal with the high-flying, acrobatic, explosive, intense style of Ray Phoenix?
01:19:21You smother him.
01:19:22And that is what Dexter Loomis has been doing.
01:19:24But here comes a fresh Andrade, Wade.
01:19:27And the game plan worked so, so well against Phoenix until it didn't.
01:19:32And now, as you mentioned, a red hot and fresh Andrade in here.
01:19:38And he can smell gold.
01:19:40And he is rallying with a lot of momentum.
01:19:44The 11th time that these Tag Team titles are on the line in this calendar year.
01:19:48We've had two title changes so far in the first half of 2025.
01:19:52Could we have one tonight?
01:19:54As the double knees come running in, in what has become, instantly, here it is, trying to get gold,
01:20:00the hottest tag team in the division, Andrade and Ray Phoenix,
01:20:04who you said it a few weeks ago we were broadcasting one of the matches.
01:20:07Sometimes, instantly, you can just sense the chemistry.
01:20:10Oh, here we go.
01:20:11Here we go.
01:20:11Trying for the message, but denied by Joe Casey.
01:20:14You're right, that chemistry was automatic with these two, two superstars.
01:20:18And basically, they used 20 years of experience.
01:20:21Oh!
01:20:23To shortcut their way to chemistry.
01:20:25But that shortcut might have led them to a dead end here.
01:20:29The combination work of the Wyatt Six to retain.
01:20:32And Phoenix comes in to make the save.
01:20:34I don't know if Phoenix was going to make that save.
01:20:36I think just about Andrade kicked out.
01:20:38But regardless, oh!
01:20:40The goal continues, and then it was two on one.
01:20:44Good night, Ray Phoenix, who is in a mess on the outside.
01:20:48And Andrade may well be about to join him.
01:20:51How about Joe Casey saying, Ray, we're not doing that tonight.
01:20:56And here comes their signature move.
01:20:58Oh, but the assisted powerbomb with the knees up by Andrade.
01:21:02Andrade got the knees up.
01:21:04Pitting combination.
01:21:06Do we have new champs?
01:21:10That kick, spinning elbow.
01:21:12That's spinning elbow by Andrade.
01:21:15Andrade was looking like he was going to have to win this on his own.
01:21:17But back from the dead is Ray Phoenix rising.
01:21:19Oh, there goes Ryan.
01:21:21Here comes the message.
01:21:23This could be it, Wade.
01:21:25To become the champs.
01:21:27What in the world?
01:21:29Nicky Cross.
01:21:30Nicky Cross.
01:21:31Just pulled the referee out.
01:21:34Andrade and Ray Phoenix had this thing.
01:21:36They won.
01:21:37They had it won.
01:21:40Well, a victory stolen from Andrade and Ray Phoenix.
01:21:45And now a beatdown commences
01:21:47with this absolute freak of a human being that is Eric Rowan.
01:21:52Eric Rowan is immediately in there.
01:21:55And now, wait a second.
01:21:58Thraxium has made their way to the ring from the locker room.
01:22:01And Rowan takes care of them as well.
01:22:04And keep your eyes peeled, because guess what?
01:22:06Here's the motor safety machine guns.
01:22:09What are we doing?
01:22:10Opening up the door to the locker room.
01:22:11The entire tag team division is making their way down to deal with the Wyatt Six.
01:22:16Well, the Wyatt Six have been running rampant over the entire tag division for weeks now.
01:22:22You've got to figure out something.
01:22:24If you have to team up to take them down, then so be it.
01:22:27And finally getting some steam on this enormous man that is Eric Rowan.
01:22:32Phoenix and Andrade are back on their feet.
01:22:35Motor City machine guns in the ring.
01:22:37But Gacy and Loomis back to action.
01:22:39And Rowan is just taking care of everybody.
01:22:41I mean, Rowan's the one man.
01:22:42Oh, the prophets are here!
01:22:45Big Doc and Montez Ford are here!
01:22:48Well, SmackDown tag locker room is completely clearing out at this point.
01:22:54This is unbelievable!
01:22:56We're in the midst of a title match that Andrade and Phoenix should have won.
01:23:00The next thing you know, we've got the entire tag team division.
01:23:04And the goal is here!
01:23:05What a DIY who earlier tonight were discussing something like this.
01:23:11And now everything has absolutely gone haywire.
01:23:14Well, if it's Friday night in the tag division, we are getting a riot.
01:23:18We should have expected that match.
01:23:20Max thrown out a long time ago, but who cares?
01:23:24Here comes Taz!
01:23:26Right into your living room!
01:23:28They're all laid out!
01:23:30Montez Ford has laid everybody out!
01:23:33Well, now we get the officials out here about 15 minutes too late.
01:23:38I have had enough of this.
01:23:41It's obvious to me and everybody watching
01:23:45that you lot are hellbent on destroying each other over those tag team titles.
01:23:50And since you didn't get out of your system the first time around,
01:23:54here's what's going to happen.
01:23:56At SummerSlam,
01:23:57those tag team titles go high above the ring.
01:24:05And it will be tables, ladders, and chairs for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
01:24:13All of them!
01:24:16Oh!
01:24:16All of them!
01:24:17We are getting carnage at SummerSlam!
01:24:20We're getting carnage here tonight!
01:24:21I mean, they're still failing!
01:24:23T, L, C, and SummerSlam!
01:24:25The entire group of all contenders and the champions rolling here,
01:24:31as Nick Aldis says,
01:24:32All right, you want it?
01:24:34You got it!
01:24:35Tables, ladders, and chairs!
01:24:38You're damn right I want it!
01:24:40Nice job, Nick Aldis!
01:24:43And somehow they're going to try and get control of things before SummerSlam!
01:24:47They can't stop them!
01:24:49This is absolute chaos here in Cleveland!
01:24:53Bedlam, carnage, mayhem, you've got it in abundance tonight!
01:24:58And we're going to get it again at SummerSlam!
01:25:01Everywhere you look, they are brawling!
01:25:04Every major tag team!
01:25:07The biggest party of the summer just got bigger!
01:25:12T, L, C, for the tag team goal!
01:25:16Oh my, Tampa!
01:25:18This is outrageous!
01:25:19We'll see at SummerSlam!
