00:00With one of the greatest careers in history, but he hasn't done it in a street fight match.
00:16Yeah, and make no mistake, for the WWE Championship, questions remain.
00:21What kind of frame of mind is John Cena in now?
00:24Ladies and gentlemen, John Cena!
00:40What a fan.
00:54I told you that I was exhausted, and that a match at SummerSlam would be too difficult for me.
01:14You assaulted me, and you forced me into one of the most dangerous matches in WWE.
01:21I only got one thing left to say to you.
01:26I have forged a reputation off of hard work and respect.
01:31False glory when I bought into somebody's crazy idea to make shocking TV.
01:36And they left me alone.
01:38I want to leave here with this.
01:43After my last match, I want to take this home with me.
01:47So after I'm gone, you guys don't forget about me.
01:49Then I forgot to realize how stupid I am acting today.
01:53Cody, you forced me to face it.
01:55You forced me into a fight.
01:57Something that is going to force me to dig down and be who I really am.
02:01Something that if I don't show up for war, I shouldn't show up at all.
02:05I don't know who leaves with this on Sunday.
02:09In a main event street fight with no rules that you wanted.
02:14Well, if you want some, come get some.
02:20The only platinum rapper showing up to whip your ass, me.
02:24Welcome back, John Cena.
02:41This is incredible.
02:43He's back.
02:49The real John Cena that Cody wanted.
02:52He's getting away.
02:5315 minutes and 30 seconds.
02:55That Cody Rhodes gave him the wake-up call.
02:58And toast to that.
03:00And it comes your way Sunday.
03:02Buffalo in the wild.
03:11That's crazy.
03:12The hell are you doing in a wrestling ring, Jelly Roll?
03:15You're doing God's work.
03:16God's work, brother.
03:17You want to see God's work?
03:18Hey!
03:19Hey!

03:29Hey!
03:30Hey!
03:31Hey!
03:32Hey!
03:33Get out!
03:34Goal in NXT and of course capped off right now.
03:48US Championship, Zelina Vega held the title for a couple months.
03:52Seen Zelina around catering, around the locker rooms over the past...
03:55It is the United States Championship.
03:59We get to see exactly what the two competitors next to Julia adds a massive wrinkle on.
04:06Friday night smackdown as we go from what we've heard.
04:09In on itself and now is the time for Vega to put that right.
04:12Marking instructions, talking...
04:14Being official...
04:15Looks to power Vega!
04:17Time and time again, whether it's hitting the code red or countering attacks.
04:22Korea underdog!
04:23Oh!
04:24The double days off the apron!
04:26Night before SummerSlam, Women's US Championship comes with this rematch.
04:32What a unique hold this is after that wheelbarrow.
04:35Counters it into a...
04:36Oh!
04:37Oh!
04:38Oh!
04:39Oh!
04:40Stop it!
04:41And again, Vega able to get out of trouble and then spins free.
04:44She has been fighting throughout as Vega.
04:46Oh!
04:47Oh!
04:48Oh!
04:49Oh!
04:50Oh!
04:51Oh!
04:52The running knees just driving!
04:53Of the Tokyo native.
04:54Take the table!
04:55Oh!
04:56Oh!
04:57How about it, Selena Vega!
04:58Cover!
04:59Oh!
05:00Lots of flies, super!
05:01And she lands it!
05:02Right back into position!
05:04Oh!
05:05Can she deliver?
05:06Oh!
05:07Oh!
05:08Hook of the leg!
05:09Oh!
05:10Oh!
05:11Oh my god!
05:12Absolutely incredulous!
05:13I can't believe it either!
05:14This is awesome!
05:17Julia!
05:18Great counter!
05:19Can she get going back?
05:20No!
05:21The kick out by Julia!
05:22Oh!
05:23Oh!
05:24Oh Vegas!
05:25Wincing in pain!
05:26Moonsaults lined up!
05:28One!
05:29One!
05:30Northern Lights do it!
05:32Two!
05:33Three!
05:34Yes!
05:35From Kiana James, what a fearsome jump!
05:39This Sunday at SummerSlam, you defend that championship inside a stadium.
05:42Inside a steel cage.
05:44Steel cage hangs above the ring, and I've heard that that is per your request.
05:48Why?
05:49What are you talking about, Cathy?
05:50Huh?
05:51Do I look like ring crew to you?
05:52The only two things that I'm worried about is this title and my MFTs.
05:56Tala Tonga makes his in-ring debut tonight against your...
05:59Little big brother, Cathy.
06:03Big Jim is going to get a big boot against my seven-foot monster.
06:07Get in.
06:08Where you fit in.
06:09Yeah, did I mean?
06:10Still the mystery lingers.
06:12Who the hell?
06:13We don't know who they're fighting.
06:14It's an open challenge.
06:15Could be any superstars from any brand.
06:16Escobar feeling mighty proud and confident.
06:18It's time!
06:19Stand up!
06:20And show respect!
06:21Any tag team in the back!
06:22If you want to be Lucha Libre royalty and face Los Garza!
06:25No!
06:26No, no, no!
06:27It's Mr. Iguana and La Yesca!
06:29Clown is perhaps the biggest star of Lucha Libre is a major, major deal.
06:30No, no, no!
06:31No, no, no.
06:32No, no, no.
06:33We're not going to disrespect La Yesca.
06:34Eggling reptile, Mr. Iguana.
06:35Biggest thing in Lucha Libre for the past ten years.
06:36A great combination of athleticism and size cross-busters.
06:37By Psycho Clown.
06:38Los Garza right at the very...
06:39I'll tell you right now.
06:40There is a sentiment within AAA that they're barring.
06:43That they're barring.
06:44No, no, no.
06:45It's Mr. Iguana and La Yesca!
06:46Clown is perhaps the biggest star of Lucha Libre and is a major, major deal.
06:47No, no, no.
06:48We're not going to disrespect La Yesca.
06:49Eggling reptile, Mr. Iguana.
06:50Biggest thing in Lucha Libre for the past ten years.
06:51A great combination of athleticism and size cross-bodied by Psycho Clown.
06:52Los Garza right at the very...
06:53I'll tell you right now, there is a sentiment within AAA that they're barring.
07:06They're embarrassed by the fact that two superstars from SmackDown...
07:10...mission tonight.
07:11The Psycho, Mr. Psycho Clown has no interest in...
07:15Blame him, he is kicking BALL!
07:17Psycho Clown and Mr. Iguana.
07:21I'll tell you right now, Santos Escobar is adamant that...
07:24...wishing he'd made that tag when he cut!
07:26Oh man, oh man!
07:28What is it?
07:29It's an Iguana!
07:30Whether it's a plush toy...
07:32Garza looks to maintain control, but Psycho Clown...
07:35...looking up...
07:36...as he reaches out the hand...
07:38...and here he comes!
07:41Would you look at this!
07:43Head scissors there!
07:44Helicopter drill spin are heating up Newark!
07:48Iguana!
07:51The crucifix bot!
07:54He's looking to fly!
07:56The Clown!
07:57And he's throwing right back into Psycho!
07:59Thanks to some vicious maneuvering there!
08:02Birdo!
08:03Able to break free and sprinkle with the big kick!
08:05Cheecho!
08:07Has been brutalized too and now slung back!
08:09Iguana's not in good shape here...
08:11...as they are teeing him up!
08:12And Angel!
08:14With him up!
08:15Trying to line up that Super MTY!
08:18The survival skills of Iguana!
08:21Psycho Clown!
08:22Crossbody!
08:23Oh dearie Mae!
08:24Right back to position!
08:25Right back to position for the MTY!
08:27To retain!
08:29And they do after such a game!
08:31The open challenge was met!
08:34Earlier tonight we saw footage of you attacking Jelly Roll!
08:37How do you justify that ambush?
08:39I have nothing to say to you Cathy!
08:41Anything we have to say we're going to say in front of the world later tonight!
08:44R-Truth and Aleister Black!
08:46Black didn't go for it!
08:47We will see them against each other!
08:54It is not that far of a drive from here in Newark!
08:57Months ago but Black decided he was sick and tired past couple of weeks!
09:01He got caught out again by Aleister Black during a match with Damian Priest tonight!
09:06Aleister Black!
09:09You mentioned it!
09:11The snap!
09:12Simply get in the ring!
09:13Do his thing!
09:14For darker or nastier side of Aleister Black!
09:17That is inherited by Damian Priest!
09:19WWE is a former World Heavyweight Champion!
09:22He was simply in the form of punishment!
09:25And you step to Damian Priest!
09:27There are always going to be consequences!
09:29What intimidating!
09:31Oh!
09:32Strikes of Damian Priest as we've seen several times!
09:35several times in a match!
09:36Black!
09:37Oh!
09:38And there goes Black!
09:39Headline of the night is that John Cena has come to his senses!
09:42This kind of ability to fight back!
09:45And you saw the taunting from Aleister Black!
09:48And Aleister Black!
09:49That just Priest!
09:50It looks like he's bleeding from the mouth!
09:52The Damian Priest!
09:53Undertaker!
09:54Oh!
09:55That giant frame!
09:56Blast away!
09:59Countered by Black!
10:01Oh!
10:02Oh!
10:03Oh!
10:04Oh!
10:05Oh!
10:06He just pounces him!
10:07Completely over it!
10:08And he's about to get even uglier now!
10:10More punishment!
10:11Oh!
10:12Oh!
10:13Oh!
10:14A steel chair!
10:15A steel chair!
10:16But now Aleister Black has completely lost it!
10:18To collect the net!
10:19No!
10:20He will not stop!
10:21Head right into the steel steps!
10:23Somebody's gotta stop him!
10:24Oh!
10:25Oh my god!
10:26Black mass!
10:27Oh my god!
10:28Black mass!
10:29Oh my god!
10:30The Priest reaching for his jaw!
10:32God that was sickening!
10:34Sickening!
10:35Shocking!
10:36About last night, I didn't need your help!
10:44But I wasn't gonna have you walking into a match limping!
10:47When I beat you tomorrow, I don't want there to be any excuses!
10:51There won't be!
10:52Remember, I was the first to step to you after Mania!
10:55Now there's no distractions, no caches to worry about!
10:58I'm gonna finish what I started!
11:06Tala Tonga!
11:09And having to be the first active competitor to step in there inside a steel cage at SummerSlam!
11:16Jimmy Uso man at all!
11:18And look at the size!
11:20Dude is absolutely huge!
11:22The biggest superstar!
11:24But the veteran Jimmy Uso!
11:26That attempt at a right hand!
11:27Oh!
11:28Oh man!
11:29Oh man!
