00:00:00The following contest scheduled for

00:00:09one fall is for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.

00:00:16Introducing the challengers,

00:00:20having a wide weight of 479 pounds, Jimmy and Jay, the Usos.

00:00:27The Usos seeking their fourth Tag Team Championship.

00:00:31Could be the first team to do so since the Dudley boys accomplished the feat in 2001.

00:00:38One of the best teams in the history of SmackDown Live.

00:00:43And hey, check out Mattel's all new SummerSlam figures in stores now.

00:00:48And

00:00:52Jimmy and Jay Uso get ready for action here.

00:00:55It was this past week on SmackDown Live that Jimmy and Jay wanted a little bit

00:00:59of payback against the two superstars that had jumped them the week before.

00:01:04And Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.

00:01:06Now mind you, earlier in the night, they already found out it'd be Big E and

00:01:10Xavier Woods challenging or defending the titles rather here at SummerSlam.

00:01:14And the Usos would take one out here on New Day.

00:01:17Yeah, Usos utilizing the strategy of distract and dismantle.

00:01:20And that's exactly what they would do.

00:01:22So John, not only were they able to knock off the New Day, earn a little momentum,

00:01:26but they got some important key information going into this matchup.

00:01:30Yeah, so information they didn't have at the last pay-per-view.

00:01:32And I think it's gonna pay dividends for the Usos.

00:01:34It's become very personal between the Usos and the New Day,

00:01:40dating back to the rap battle.

00:01:42Everything that's gone down between these two teams, this should be fun.

00:01:45Brooklyn!

00:01:52Don't you dare be sour!

00:01:55Clap for your world famous three-time champs and feel the power!

00:02:04It's a new day, yes it is.

00:02:06And their opponents, the SmackDown Tag Team Champions,

00:02:13The New Day!

00:02:18All right, Byron, here's your birthday present.

00:02:21The WWE Universe in support of The New Day still filing in here

00:02:28to the Barclays Center.

00:02:30Fold out crowd expected here in Brooklyn for SummerSlam.

00:02:35The Patriarchs of Positivity are here.

00:02:38SummerSlam in Brooklyn, baby!

00:02:42Now, y'all know, y'all know that Brooklyn holds a lot of history for

00:02:50the New Day, y'all remember?

00:02:53Brooklyn was the place where we first serenaded the WWE.

00:02:58We sang to y'all, y'all remember that?

00:02:59In case you don't, it went a little something like,

00:03:04let's hear it for New Day.

00:03:09Y'all remember that?

00:03:10Yeah!

00:03:11That was a hit!

00:03:12Yeah!

00:03:13Brooklyn was the place in which the original Francesca was born.

00:03:19Lord rest her soul.

00:03:21Lord rest her soul.

00:03:23For without Francesca, we would not have who, who, who, who, who, who?

00:03:34We would not have Francesca 2 Turbo!

00:03:38Brooklyn was the spot where we began a 483 day championship reign.

00:03:50Becoming the longest reigning tag team champions in the history of WWE.

00:04:02And here we are one more time tonight, SummerSlam in Brooklyn facing the Usos.

00:04:10And we're here to tell you that tonight at SummerSlam in Brooklyn will be no different

00:04:22from every other time that New Day shows up in Brooklyn.

00:04:25What I'm saying is tonight the New Day will beat the Usos and go on to remain your SmackDown Live WWE World Tag Team Champions.

00:04:44It's all about the SmackDown Tag Team titles between the New Day and the Usos and Byron the New Day walking around with some interesting outfits here at SummerSlam.

00:05:07Yeah, Todd, the New Day said it's an ode to DC Comics Red Lantern with the color red representing the rage that the Usos have brought out of the Tag Team Champions.

00:05:18And this is what it is all about here tonight.

00:05:20Can the New Day walk out of Brooklyn where they have so much history still the SmackDown Tag Team Champions or John?

00:05:26The Usos, they've been very close with the New Day neck and neck these two teams.

00:05:30Yeah, these two teams is what you expect.

00:05:32Look at their title reigns, their dominance tells you these are the two best teams that WWE has had over the past decade.

00:05:38Tonight we find out, is it a New Day or is it welcome to Uso Penitentiary?

00:05:43Well, this is Jimmy Uso to sort things off against Xavier Woods.

00:05:52Remember, the Usos have had a little less than a week now to prepare for this power lineup, John,

00:05:56that the New Day refer to having Big E involved in there with Xavier Woods.

00:06:00Yeah, and we saw when they lost the titles, they didn't realize what team it was they were gonna match up against.

00:06:05And I think New Day surprised them with a smaller team and a quicker team.

00:06:09The Usos a leg up perhaps in that department, but they still gotta go out and try and win the titles.

00:06:14Now Woods off the ropes trying to pick up the pace and Jimmy Uso, whoop, almost caught here by Woods.

00:06:20When Xavier Woods lands on his feet, Jimmy Uso can't keep up the pace here.

00:06:26My gosh.

00:06:27Man, that is your power.

00:06:29You just saw how familiar these two teams are with each other.

00:06:35Here by Woods to retain the titles in a kick out.

00:06:38Byron, Xavier Woods is one of the most talented superstars on SmackDown Live bar none.

00:06:45Absolutely, I mean, during their last tag team title win, that was the first time Xavier was

00:06:50actually involved in a tag team title win.

00:06:52A lot of people call him the most, you're right, underrated member of the New Day.

00:06:56Same time, John, that wall ripping off the shirt of Jimmy Uso, some intensity out of the New Day.

00:07:02I think the New Day is trying to take the fight to the Usos.

00:07:09John, this past week, the New Day said, quote, this will be a breeze on Sunday.

00:07:13Do you think they're a little confident, too confident coming into this?

00:07:17No.

00:07:18I think it's what you expect banner-wise out of two great teams.

00:07:21They're both trying to get in the other team's head, get in their psyche.

00:07:24It's what New Day has been so good at.

00:07:27It's just when you're facing the Usos.

00:07:29New Day!

00:07:30When you're facing the Usos, you gotta understand it's a carbon copy.

00:07:34The Usos love to talk trash.

00:07:36And look at Xavier Woods, some body shots here to Jimmy Uso in the corner.

00:07:44When you're talking to Xavier, he told me the one thing the Usos have taught us,

00:07:47is that we have to embrace a more lawless culture here in WWE,

00:07:51more lawless culture in this robbery.

00:07:54And a boot up there from Xavier Woods, able to battle out of the corner and

00:07:58backs down Jey Uso.

00:07:59Man, that distraction was enough.

00:08:02What a shot!

00:08:03What a connection by Jimmy Uso.

00:08:06And the challengers have got the champions down here on SummerSlam kickoff.

00:08:11And now Jey Uso measuring his opponent here, and Xavier Woods slowing down the pace

00:08:16in this SmackDown Tag Team title match.

00:08:19This is the important pace, John, for the Usos to maintain here,

00:08:22trying to slow down the speed of Xavier Woods, keep the power of Big E on the outside.

00:08:26Yeah, and right now they're fighting a perfect match.

00:08:29There you go.

00:08:30The Usos come from a great line of brother tag teams.

00:08:34Now you look at some of the best of all time in Harlem Heat,

00:08:37maybe the greatest of all time, the Briscoes, the Funks, the Steiners.

00:08:40I think the Usos belong all in that conversation.

00:08:43Trying to get to the corner here, Xavier Woods couldn't get to Big E in time.

00:08:47And Jey Uso whips him to the far corner.

00:08:49Jey Uso wisely recognizing his in-ring positioning.

00:08:52A little less than a half an hour now until WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view goes live on the WWE Network.

00:09:00And Jey Uso trying to close in on a fourth tag team title for him and his brother Jimmy.

00:09:07Which you said, Tommy, the first four-time tag team champion since the Hardys.

00:09:16Well, since the Dudley boys back in 2001 could join the likes of the Hardys,

00:09:20the Dudleys, Edge, and Christian.

00:09:22Not to mention the New Age Outlaws of teams who've won four tag team titles.

00:09:26Let's work, baby.

00:09:28And backed into the corner there by Jey.

00:09:31That's where New Day's gotta be careful.

00:09:34Let's go, baby.

00:09:35Big E trying to psych up Xavier Woods here.

00:09:37And the Usos have talked a lot of trash over the last few weeks calling the New Day,

00:09:41quote, three clowns on a tricycle.

00:09:44I know you like that, John.

00:09:46Look, these guys, it's like McGregor and Mayweather.

00:09:49These guys love talking trash, but they deliver.

00:09:52Now, more body shots here from Xavier Woods trying to get Jey Uso, rather,

00:09:57off the top turnbuckle here.

00:09:59These two tied up.

00:10:01And a headbutt from Woods sends Jey across the ring.

00:10:05And Jimmy Uso missed on the steel post.

00:10:07We're thinking from Xavier Woods, he's got an opening now.

00:10:11Xavier basically just did a sit up there off the turnbuckle.

00:10:14And now a drop kick puts down Jey Uso.

00:10:17Big opportunity here for the New Day.

00:10:25Big opportunity for Xavier Woods to change the complexion of this matchup.

00:10:29If he can make that tag.

00:10:30And reaches out for Big E, and it was Jimmy Uso on the outside who took E away.

00:10:36And a critical moment there for the New Day fans.

00:10:40And Xavier just realized there was no one there to tag.

00:10:42Wait a minute, back inside the ring, Jey Uso.

00:10:44Man.

00:10:45In the back of the neck into the top turnbuckle.

00:10:47That was just all sorts of nasty.

00:10:49And watch this one more time as Xavier went for the tag and Big E just ripped off the apron.

00:10:55Yeah, that's what the Usos, we talk about ring positioning.

00:10:58Hey, those tag team titles may be just out of reach for New Day.

00:11:03The Usos right now are controlling everything in this match.

00:11:07Get it inside the ring.

00:11:10This has been a physical showing here from the Usos.

00:11:17Here's the thing, I mean, just being around the Usos, it's not only about winning the SmackDown Live Tag Team titles.

00:11:22It's about stripping the New Day of everything that makes them popular with the WWE Universe.

00:11:27The only way the Usos can win the titles by pinfall or submission inside the ring using all the count right now is Jimmy Uso.

00:11:33Yeah, you're playing with fire right here.

00:11:35The count is seven here, and Xavier Woods trying to fight back, but the Usos bully him inside.

00:11:42Yeah, the Usos realized pretty quickly how close they were to not winning those tag team championships.

00:11:47Change hands on her disqualification.

00:11:50Jey Uso off the top turnbuckle right to the sternum for the titles here at a kick out.

00:11:57And the Usos are that close to winning the SmackDown Tag Team titles.

00:12:03The bigger story here is the Usos have had their way with Xavier Woods over the last couple minutes.

00:12:07And again, there's no option.

00:12:08SmackDown Tag Team Champions tonight.

00:12:10There's no option for Xavier to tag.

00:12:13And watch this one more time here.

00:12:15Off the top, right there to the heart of Xavier Woods.

00:12:19And Xavier able to kick out, and you can see in the far corner there, Kofi Kingston trying to psych up Big E,

00:12:24who took a nasty hit off the apron.

00:12:26The Usos have been in command ever since.

00:12:28Now this is reminiscent of back in the day when you and Ron Simmons beat the heck out of guys dissected opponent.

00:12:40Look, this is a thing of beauty.

00:12:42If you like tag team wrestling, you gotta love this.

00:12:45This is a perfect game plan by the Usos.

00:12:47You cut off the ring.

00:12:48You isolate Xavier Woods.

00:12:50Keep Big E out of the ring.

00:12:52They're running a perfect game plan right now.

00:12:55And Big E has gotten himself back up to the apron.

00:12:58Desperately wants Woods to make a tag.

00:13:00But Woods just so far away.

00:13:02That's all Big E can do is just shout words of encouragement.

00:13:04Right now he is helpless.

00:13:05Let's go.

00:13:08That's something also that Usos' father, Hall of Famer, Rikishi, would be very proud of right now.

00:13:13From a multi-tag team champion himself.

00:13:16And Jimmy Uso has had the control here.

00:13:19But now Xavier Woods trying to find a way to rally here in Brooklyn.

00:13:23Trying to get back to his corner, trying to get to Big E.

00:13:26Big E wants into this match bad.

00:13:28Xavier trying to reach for everything he's got.

00:13:30And now Jimmy Uso.

00:13:32One, two, three.

00:13:33Got a hold of Xavier.

00:13:35The big back body drop shuts down anything the New Day had in mind.

00:13:40Welcome to the Uso Penitentiary.

00:13:46Every ounce of hope Xavier has had of making a tag has quickly been removed from the Usos.

00:13:53Now Jimmy Uso looks like he's taking his time here looking very happy with himself.

00:13:56Let's go.

00:13:57Hey, very rarely are you in a championship match and you have control.

00:14:01It's a good feeling.

00:14:02Hold on, Xavier Woods.

00:14:03Man.

00:14:04Man, right off the canvas.

00:14:05That feeling just ended.

00:14:06Face first off of the canvas and Xavier Woods with a chance to get to Big E.

00:14:11I have no idea how Xavier pulled it off but he's got the best chance of this match to make the tag.

00:14:16Xavier Woods better get there if everyone's in.

00:14:18Here comes Big E.

00:14:20Exactly what the Usos didn't want.

00:14:22This is why you call Big E the game changer of the New Day.

00:14:25Whoa.

00:14:26Just throwing those.

00:14:28Those 23 inch biceps at work.

00:14:30And Big E.

00:14:31Yeah.

00:14:32And a belly to belly.

00:14:34Dropping Jey Uso.

00:14:36Big E feeling it.

00:14:41Big E on the move.

00:14:43Big E.

00:14:44Step up in Sekuri there from Jey.

00:14:46Great counter.

00:14:49Now Jey target there on Big E.

00:14:51One arm.

00:14:52One arm.

00:14:53Big E with the cover to retain the titles and a kick out.

00:14:56That is just sick power.

00:14:58Now Big E calling out to Xavier.

00:15:03Xavier getting back into this matchup.

00:15:05Let's go, all the way out.

00:15:07Come on.

00:15:08Xavier Woods, look at him and Big E.

00:15:11My gosh.

00:15:12Wow.

00:15:13Power slam, power bomb Woods into Jey.

00:15:16And another tag made now to Big E.

00:15:18John, this is a hallmark of the New Day, frequent tags.

00:15:21What is this?

00:15:22What is this?

00:15:23I don't know if Woods can pull this one off.

00:15:26My God.

00:15:31300 pounds up and down and a kick out.

00:15:34I like this strategy.

00:15:35Take it to the playbook.

00:15:36Bring out some new offensive moves.

00:15:38Fang and Usos' body had to rise to get out of that pinning predicament.

00:15:46That was absolutely incredible.

00:15:48Hey, it's what you're come to expect from the New Day and the Usos.

00:15:53That's why these guys are the two best tag teams in WWE seen in the last decade.

00:15:57Kofi Kingston cheering on Big E from the outside.

00:16:02Jimmy took a shot.

00:16:03Cover here.

00:16:04Cover and a kick out.

00:16:05Tag made by Jimmy.

00:16:06I don't think Big E has seen it.

00:16:08Now Big E trying to focus here on Jey.

00:16:11Jimmy's legal.

00:16:12Back inside.

00:16:13Man!

00:16:14Double spine buster.

00:16:16Cover here by Jimmy.

00:16:18Shoulders down.

00:16:19And a kick out.

00:16:20Just planted by the Usos was Big E.

00:16:26As the tag made, as Devon Dudley would say, the other Uso Big E didn't know was in there.

00:16:31And Big E is in trouble now.

00:16:34Wow.

00:16:35Straight right.

00:16:36Big E was a sitting duck and just took a flush right hand.

00:16:40Shades of Uncle Umaga.

00:16:44Tag made by Xavier Woods.

00:16:46All the way right to the midsection, doubles him over.

00:16:49And Jimmy Uso now in a bad way.

00:16:52A backstabber off of Big E from Woods.

00:16:57Cover.

00:16:58And a kick out.

00:17:05That's about as close as you can get for The New Day.

00:17:07Xavier Woods thought he had him.

00:17:09I did too.

00:17:10Watch this one more time.

00:17:12Big E, the catch, and boom, a sudden stop.

00:17:15There from Xavier Woods.

00:17:16How in the world tried to Jimmy Uso kick out of that?

00:17:19Sometimes it's just instinct.

00:17:21And I think that's what it was, Boz.

00:17:24Yeah, an innovative tag team maneuvers has been the name of the game the last time

00:17:27the few moments here for The New Day.

00:17:29Now Xavier Woods trying to figure out what he and The New Day need to do to

00:17:34put away The Usos here on SummerSlam kickoff.

00:17:39We have seen some incredible matches between these two teams over the summer.

00:17:49Wow.

00:17:50This one no different, Jimmy Uso the shot.

00:17:53My God.

00:17:56What a shot.

00:17:57Look at these headbutts from Xavier Woods.

00:17:59That was a collision.

00:18:01And Jimmy right behind him.

00:18:03Now he's got standing.

00:18:06Tag made.

00:18:07And again, Woods is focusing on Jimmy.

00:18:09Don't know if he saw the tag, but he took out J anyway.

00:18:12Xavier Woods is on fire.

00:18:16Wow.

00:18:17For the ropes.

00:18:18Xavier's right boot.

00:18:21Man.

00:18:22And I think it was Jey Uso who just came off the barricade and took out Woods.

00:18:27Yeah.

00:18:28Hold on a sec.

00:18:30Uh-oh.

00:18:31You don't think.

00:18:32Get ready for the Hindenburg.

00:18:33Come on.

00:18:34Caught.

00:18:35Caught.

00:18:36Caught with a big super kick by one of the Usos and tossing Woods back inside.

00:18:40Uh-oh.

00:18:42Uh-oh.

00:18:44Going up top here.

00:18:47Opposite corners.

00:18:49There he is.

00:18:51Right to the back of the neck of Big E.

00:18:53And a splash.

00:18:54Cover.

00:18:55One, two, three.

00:18:56One.

00:18:57How in the world can Xavier Woods kick out of that?

00:19:01How?

00:19:02Right when you think you've executed your game plan perfectly and the Usos did.

00:19:11It doesn't work.

00:19:13You said it time and time again, these two teams bring the best out of each other.

00:19:17Do they ever.

00:19:18And the Barclays Center here is fired up for this SmackDown Tag Team title match.

00:19:28How can you not be?

00:19:29And Jey Uso is now.

00:19:31Uh-oh.

00:19:32Wait a minute.

00:19:33Everyone are turning around here with a submission.

00:19:35Submission here on Jey Uso.

00:19:37Is Jey Uso sensing it in?

00:19:40Trying to get a Kofi clutch here it looks like on Jey Uso.

00:19:44And Jey Uso.

00:19:45And Jey Uso.

00:19:46He's got locked in deep.

00:19:47Big E.

00:19:48Big E got a hold of Jimmy.

00:19:49Pulling Jimmy out of the ring.

00:19:51And a shot there on Big E, but again Woods continues the submission.

00:19:56Cover and a kick out.

00:19:58And Shining Wizard by Woods.

00:20:03Cover here for the titles and a kick out.

00:20:05And man.

00:20:09You gotta wonder what it's gonna take for one of these teams to win.

00:20:13What a match.

00:20:14I mean both these teams have to be asking themselves the same question.

00:20:17I tell you that is the importance of these Tag Team Championships.

00:20:20Xavier Woods left no room for Jey Uso to even rally there.

00:20:26But now he's gotta find a way to get the three count here on Jey.

00:20:29Get up!

00:20:30Get up buddy!

00:20:33Woods measuring Jey Uso.

00:20:35And a shot to Jimmy.

00:20:37Thought about the honor roll up on the shoulders now of Jey.

00:20:41And Xavier Woods trying to escape now with the elbows on his side of the face.

00:20:46And doubles over Jey.

00:20:47And a tag made and now Big E is legal.

00:20:51One, two, one!

00:20:53Xavier Woods!

00:20:54With a DDT on the outside!

00:20:56But in the meantime, New Day trying to close this thing out.

00:20:59I think New Day's about to.

00:21:01Time to go up, down, down!

00:21:08Cover from Big E!

00:21:10Brooklyn's done it again for, man!

00:21:12Jimmy!

00:21:13Jimmy at the last second!

00:21:14Wow!

00:21:15I thought Brooklyn once again has been the lucky city for New Day.

00:21:24The Usos find a way to stay alive.

00:21:27That is Jimmy Uso delivering in the clutch.

00:21:30And all four of the competitors in this match sprawled across the ring.

00:21:50If you have any doubt who the best two tag teams in the world,

00:21:52I don't think you have any doubt after this match.

00:21:55This is incredible.

00:21:57And Xavier Woods, remember, is still legal alongside Jey Uso and

00:22:02knocking Jimmy out of the ring with a straight punch.

00:22:05You will see how spent these two teams are.

00:22:11My God!

00:22:14John, it looked like the pop-up to the outside and Jimmy Uso just dropped Xavier Woods.

00:22:19Yeah, and a small one dropped.

00:22:21The Usos call it the Ali Uso.

00:22:24Come on now.

00:22:25Unbelievable.

00:22:26Man, no!

00:22:27He keeps it into the steel stairs.

00:22:28We're just checking on Xavier Woods.

00:22:29Wait a minute, Big E.

00:22:30Watch out!

00:22:31Big E.

00:22:32Watch out!

00:22:33My God!

00:22:34Big E putting it all over the next Summer Slam!

00:22:36Wait, attack your tires on the line.

00:22:37Do whatever you gotta do!

00:22:38And Big E coming to the defense of his buddies in the New Day.

00:22:40Rolls Jimmy Uso back inside the ring.

00:22:42Big E knows he's gotta strike quick.

00:22:59Jey Uso rather, Jimmy now makes the tag.

00:23:03Big E saw it.

00:23:05Big E.

00:23:06And right to the midsection, Big E.

00:23:10Catch me a super kick.

00:23:12On the button, on the button.

00:23:13And another one.

00:23:15No, no, no.

00:23:16Man!

00:23:18And Big E is out.

00:23:20Big E is out cold.

00:23:23And Jey Uso is legal off the tag.

00:23:25It's about to get worse twice over.

00:23:28Jimmy Uso's setting up Big E center of the ring.

00:23:31Look how far away these two are.

00:23:32Going for the double loose.

00:23:34There it is.

00:23:35One, two, three.

00:23:36Got it!

00:23:39The episodes are champions again.

00:23:43Here are your winners and the new SmackDown Tag Team Champions,

00:23:50The Uso's.

00:23:55Talk about an incredible victory.

00:23:57You did it at the right place.

00:23:59SummerSlam, the Barclay Center, right here in Brooklyn.

00:24:02The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall with a 20-minute line limit.

00:24:10Making your winner to the ring made accompanied by Paul Elmering.

00:24:13At a combined weight of 603 pounds, Skull and 8-ball Disciples of Apocalypse.

00:24:23Ladies and gentlemen, 25 minutes away from SummerSlam, exclusively on Pay-Per-View.

00:24:27Four championships will be decided tonight, right here in Madison Square Garden at SummerSlam,

00:24:32including Stone Cold Steve Austin.

00:24:34It's no doubt the biggest challenge of his life against the number one contender, The Undertaker.

00:24:39And you gotta wonder what the keen factor's gonna be in that one.

00:24:44Look at that, Gerald.

00:24:45We got Tony Chimble in there, the new ring announcer.

00:24:47And the opponent's first from Westco, Texas, weighing in at 302 pounds, Bradshaw!

00:24:54Big, bad Bradshaw!

00:24:58Well, this could be a slobber knocker.

00:25:00I guarantee you, there's four big hombres in this wrestling.

00:25:03If Bradshaw's in it, it's a slobber knocker, no matter what.

00:25:06Oh, yeah.

00:25:07And oh, yeah.

00:25:09And his tag team partner from the Rocky Mountains, weighing in at 450 pounds.

00:25:19What time is it?

00:25:20The man they call, Vader!

00:25:22Thank you very much.

00:25:23And it's also, what, 20 minutes of pay-per-view time?

00:25:25About 25 minutes to the hour.

00:25:26Nobody, yeah!

00:25:27Got a lot of beef in the ring.

00:25:32A lot of beef in the ring.

00:25:34Great tag team action tonight at SummerSlam as well.

00:25:37The tag team titles will be decided when Kane and Mankind somehow will have to coexist

00:25:43to meet the New Age Outlaws.

00:25:45There'll be two matches in one in that one.

00:25:47Got the mixed tag match, Sable and the mystery partner against Jaclyn and Marvelous Mark Merwin.

00:25:52What about the oddities against Kai and Ty?

00:25:54Three men versus four in a handicap match.

00:25:57Where's the handicap in that one?

00:25:59You know, if I were the New Age Outlaws, I might sit there and see what Mankind and Kane, they might destroy each other.

00:26:04It might be an easy night for the New Age Outlaws.

00:26:07Especially after Monday night in Hell in a Cell when Mankind and Kane almost dismembered each other.

00:26:13And don't forget about The Rock taking on Triple H for the Intercontinental title.

00:26:17Bradshaw and Vader in the ladder match.

00:26:19Maybe not on the same page here.

00:26:24They're battling out to see who's going to start the matchup.

00:26:26Well, the adrenaline is running here at SummerSlam.

00:26:30Or here at the Sunday Night Heat for SummerSlam.

00:26:32Somebody needs to clue them in, they're on the same team.

00:26:34Get up!

00:26:35One, two, three.

00:26:3724 minutes, four seconds, three, two.

00:26:42We'll pick that back up later.

00:26:44I can keep counting if you want.

00:26:47I can't keep going on that long.

00:26:51Finally, Vader starting off here with some big bombs.

00:26:54Boom!

00:26:55Throwing those shots.

00:26:57JR, I don't know which one is that.

00:26:58Is that a bull or skull?

00:26:59I don't think it makes any difference.

00:27:01Identical twins, they compete as one thanks to Paul Ellering.

00:27:05The former manager of the Legion of Doom, Paul Ellering now managing DOA.

00:27:10Oh, look at that!

00:27:11Yeah, some power!

00:27:12Some good power!

00:27:14Tell you, something that never ceases to amaze me is that here in the World Wrestling Federation,

00:27:21you ain't going to find anywhere else guys that are 6'7", 300, 400 pounds that move the way our athletes do it.

00:27:27It's just amazing sometimes.

00:27:29And you felt that.

00:27:30Oh!

00:27:31You felt that very move, I believe.

00:27:33Oh, yeah.

00:27:34Old Vader is not afraid to clean your clock.

00:27:37Sean, really, what's that like running into that thing?

00:27:39It's like running into a brick wall.

00:27:41Believe me when I tell you.

00:27:42Vader and...

00:27:43Oh!

00:27:44I think Vader and Bradshaw didn't go to the same pre-game conference.

00:27:47They don't seem to be getting along too well here.

00:27:49For whatever reason, we're not sure of.

00:27:56Folks, he continues right here on USA with USA Sunday Night Heat.

00:28:00First, Russ goes back to school to take down a college gambling ring on an all-new Pacific Blue.

00:28:05Then at 9, Harry's true love is murdered, and he wants revenge on an all-new Silk Stockings.

00:28:11And at 10, the Section discovers Nikita's plot to destroy Section 1 on an all-new La Femme Nikita.

00:28:17USA Sunday Night Heat coming up next here on USA.

00:28:21And not showing anywhere on USA will be Sean.

00:28:24Stripping nude clowns.

00:28:27Mama's watching.

00:28:28That's right.

00:28:29Easy.

00:28:30Sorry, Mom.

00:28:31They'll keep you out of trouble here.

00:28:32You're in a Big Apple.

00:28:33Watch it, train wreck!

00:28:36Bradshaw, I think he's still in a bad mood from the brawl.

00:28:39Yeah.

00:28:40Bradshaw's always in a bad mood.

00:28:41Look out!

00:28:42Vader got cradled!

00:28:43That's what I'm gonna cost.

00:28:44D-O-A!

00:28:45Well, thanks to Bradshaw's right hand.

00:28:48He looks like Rembrandt spending some time on the canvas.

00:28:54Good one, J.R.

00:28:56From the A-A down that night.

00:29:01Introducing their opponents, first coming down the aisle from New Zealand,

00:29:08Butch, the Pushbacker!

00:29:12I hate to say, of the Bushwackers on the horizon.

00:29:14Do you have to do that for your hands, Jack?

00:29:15It's the Winter Jeeves Gate!

00:29:16There it is!

00:29:17There it is to play.

00:29:18Faith's compete!

00:29:19A lot of this people have J.R.

00:29:20Rock up on the falsene tension!

00:29:22Theutions have never assembled anything.

00:29:25After a first time.

00:29:26Old Dodd!

00:29:27280th,000$!

00:29:29And it's like being home for this.

00:29:32Like being home.

00:29:33Went from New Zealand.

00:29:34It's like a sudd �.

00:29:35Hey!

00:29:37Hey!

00:29:39Hey!

00:29:41New York City!

00:29:43Yes, sir!

00:29:45What a bunch of push records!

00:29:49What an advantage!

00:29:51Don't work as much!

00:29:53Hey!

00:29:55The missing piece of the puzzle.

00:29:57Larry Daryl down right here.

00:29:59Here comes the

00:30:01wins for Duggan!

00:30:03Axon

00:30:05Duggan!

00:30:11It's the big square thing with the road stupid.

00:30:13Come this way.

00:30:15Axon

00:30:17Duggan!

00:30:19Oh!

00:30:21Oh!

00:30:23Oh!

00:30:25Oh!

00:30:27I remember when I used to watch the ring

00:30:29and he used to hold up one finger.

00:30:31That was a different kind of solo!

00:30:35We're talking about

00:30:37Axon!

00:30:38Yeah, Duggan!

00:30:39Three by four!

00:30:41High five!

00:30:43I got justice!

00:30:45The mountain is still on the corner

00:30:47in that ring.

00:30:49This season's gonna work.

00:30:51I'll tell you why.

00:30:53Mr. Duggan's been together a long time.

00:30:55They know each other, right?

00:30:57He's so off the wall, he's gonna throw them out.

00:30:59But the mountain and the nasties are all managed by Jimmy Hart.

00:31:02That is a smooth unit, I think.

00:31:05U.S.A!

00:31:07U.S.A!

00:31:08U.S.A!

00:31:09U.S.A!

00:31:10U.S.A!

00:31:11U.S.A!

00:31:12U.S.A!

00:31:13U.S.A!

00:31:14for Hats on Duggan!

00:31:16And the Bushwackers, they don't know if they're in New Zealand or Newark,

00:31:22or England, they don't care either.

00:31:25Have you checked the hats out on the Bushwackers?

00:31:28Why would I do that?

00:31:30Well, they're a little different.

00:31:32Kind of like the Bushwackers.

00:31:34Their hats?

00:31:36Yeah.

00:31:37It's like the...

00:31:38They...

00:31:39They...

00:31:40They...

00:31:41They...

00:31:42They...

00:31:43They...

00:31:44They...

00:31:45They're...

00:31:46They're...

00:31:47They're...

00:31:48They're...

00:31:49They're...

00:31:50They're...

00:31:51They're...

00:31:52They're expecting an ovation from this capacity crowd giving you a break.

00:31:57Here you are in ovation.

00:31:59Three happy campers in the middle of, and 80,000 inmates.

00:32:10You'd have to be from an asylum if you'd cheer for those three.

00:32:15.

00:32:20.

00:32:22One more question, where these fans stand when it comes to support for which team?

00:32:28.

00:32:30Another goal, yes.

00:32:31.

00:32:35.

00:32:39.

00:32:43.

00:32:48.

00:32:51.

00:32:53.

00:32:54It's early, it's early in the match.

00:32:56They got lucky.

00:32:57.

00:32:58.

00:32:59.

00:33:00.

00:33:01.

00:33:05You smell sardines.

00:33:06.

00:33:07That's the Bushlifers, isn't it?

00:33:09.

00:33:10.

00:33:14.

00:33:19.

00:33:25.

00:33:26.

00:33:27.

00:33:28.

00:33:29.

00:33:30.

00:33:31.

00:33:33.

00:33:35.

00:33:36.

00:33:37.

00:33:38.

00:33:40.

00:33:41Now, look, look, Shinsley Mountain.

00:33:42Now, look, Russell, back to the line.

00:33:44Touchdown, Rebecca.

00:33:45Oh, my God.

00:33:47Look at this.

00:33:47Oh, my God.

00:33:48That's what T-Mail has done, that's not.

00:33:50Coach Riker's in control.

00:33:53And look out.

00:33:54Oh, he's in the sands.

00:33:55Sands into the back-up.

00:33:57Oh, and hacksaw Jim Duggan chases him out of time.

00:34:00Who is he?

00:34:01Oh, he's going to go.

00:34:02Oh, wait a minute.

00:34:04Look at that.

00:34:05That's what's going on now.

00:34:07I do know this.

00:34:08I don't think it's Duggan.

00:34:15I think Nobbs is legal, and one of the Bushwappers, the ugly one.

00:34:28U.S.

00:34:29The ugly one.

00:34:30U.S.

00:34:32Butch is in the ring.

00:34:49He's the legal man.

00:34:50Luke and Butch, you notice he has a bald spot.

00:34:56I believe Luke has rubbed a piece of fur off the top of his head.

00:35:00Come on, baby, you go wherever you want him, Danny, where you want him.

00:35:04Nasty boy, somebody, baby, nobody can touch him.

00:35:08Maybe that's not hair, maybe that's Nervans.

00:35:10Nobody can touch him.

00:35:11Did you hear him?

00:35:12I think Duggan and the Bushwappers are looking to put a good job on him.

00:35:15I saw him right now.

00:35:16I saw him right there.

00:35:18Come on, buddy.

00:35:19We're done pretty quick.

00:35:24Sax traveling.

00:35:26Butch has his back up.

00:35:27Four, four, four.

00:35:28Come on, man.

00:35:31Come on, man.

00:35:33Come on, get it, baby.

00:35:36Puts in the wrong four yards.

00:35:38Double team now.

00:35:39Look at that.

00:35:40Look at that.

00:35:42Look at that.

00:35:44The Melanie's up there, maybe not for a long.

00:35:49Now who is legal?

00:35:51Wait a minute, you got me there.

00:35:53Uh-oh.

00:35:54In the boundary, you're on the hallway.

00:35:56Here it comes down.

00:35:59Oh, yeah.

00:36:00She's in here, man.

00:36:01Oh, right begins to move.

00:36:04Puck about the arrow of Sandwich, look at this.

00:36:08Oh, yeah.

00:36:14Look at this.

00:36:17And Sands having a Puck, not a man, he gets rubbed out.

00:36:21Isn't this a tag match?

00:36:23I'm not so sure what it is.

00:36:25I think it's a free throwout.

00:36:29The official allowing a round of latitude in the bending, if not the breaking of the rules here at SummerSlam.

00:36:36I wonder if that's a harbinger of kings to tie.

00:36:40Shut your face.

00:36:41You got me on that one.

00:36:43Keep him in the corner.

00:36:44Let it go, Zack.

00:36:45Let it go, baby.

00:36:46Jimmy Hawk shot in structures with a megaphone.

00:36:48And Luke is in no man's land.

00:36:50Come on.

00:36:51There you go, baby.

00:36:52Hacksaw, Jim Dagan wants to do something about it.

00:36:54He almost gave the official a hurl over the top rope and thought better on it.

00:37:01Come on.

00:37:02A legal tag, how about that for it, Jake?

00:37:05But not before the double team match.

00:37:07Look down to the canvas.

00:37:09Brownie is kicking and stalling away.

00:37:13And he goes with a cover.

00:37:15And he's enjoying himself.

00:37:17I don't have a chance to kick a garbage man that many times.

00:37:20No, they're garbage men from New Zealand.

00:37:21What?

00:37:22Garbage men?

00:37:23Look at your pants from your shirt.

00:37:24They are not.

00:37:25Yes, they are.

00:37:26That's right with the canvas.

00:37:28What a battle.

00:37:29That's three bucks on that.

00:37:30Good job.

00:37:31Good job.

00:37:36Good man, you know, has a lot of heat.

00:37:39Nice hair, dude.

00:37:41Luke just may give up, but who would play him?

00:37:44He has been pummeled by the nasty boys.

00:37:47And now, what a pressure applied.

00:37:50That's how it allows him.

00:37:52Those people are going around us.

00:37:57For his neckline, snap it.

00:37:58Hey, come on.

00:37:59Here's a summer slap.

00:38:03Okay, I'm sorry.

00:38:04Turn his head around, so he looks back down at his back pocket.

00:38:08Oh, my.

00:38:09Wide open kick there by Jerry Sags.

00:38:11And Sags takes over with a man he left off.

00:38:13Good solid wrestling.

00:38:19Good solid wrestling.

00:38:21Good solid wrestling.

00:38:22This has been a free for all.

00:38:23This has been mayhem in the six man tag match.

00:38:26And Edge is winning.

00:38:31Close your target, the target.

00:38:34He's on the triple team at the continues.

00:38:49I saw it.

00:38:52Sure you did.

00:38:53I did, you asked me.

00:38:54Well, it's not looking good for the Bush Rockers.

00:39:00That's it.

00:39:01Chimiano's a good old time.

00:39:02One, two, and a kick down.

00:39:04How about that?

00:39:05Seems to be a little fight left in the Bush Rockers.

00:39:09Back to the corner on his feet, maybe not for long.

00:39:12Bryan Nobbs now with Lugan shoves him to the button.

00:39:15Devastating maneuver.

00:39:17There was no tag there either.

00:39:22I didn't see it.

00:39:23If you're close enough to make the tag, you don't have to make the tag.

00:39:26By whose rules?

00:39:27Rule 103P.

00:39:29Yeah.

00:39:30In the book?

00:39:31Yeah, sure.

00:39:32Don't you ever read the book?

00:39:33It's in maybe your book.

00:39:34What is in your book?

00:39:35What do you mean?

00:39:36You're not.

00:39:37I'll tell you that.

00:39:38We'll leave that chapter out.

00:39:39It'll be a mystery.

00:39:40And finally we see a legal tag now.

00:39:44Bryan Nobbs through the ropes, let's see what happens.

00:39:47Nobbs perhaps sensing victory.

00:39:50And Luke is in fat shape.

00:39:52Going to the second floor.

00:39:53Bryan Nobbs setting up.

00:39:55Taking his time now.

00:39:57Luke is not moving, but he-

00:39:59No!

00:40:00How about that?

00:40:01Right out of the jaw.

00:40:03Luke lifting that dog out.

00:40:06Luke has to make the tag.

00:40:08Come on, he is him.

00:40:09Come on, Luke.

00:40:10He's tagged out.

00:40:11Yeah!

00:40:12He's tagged out, yeah!

00:40:1480,000 fans.

00:40:1680,000 fans.

00:40:1780,000 fans.

00:40:18Big fan won.

00:40:20And Hacksaw Jim Duncan with the money.

00:40:22Oh, yeah!

00:40:23What a, what a hundred thousand.

00:40:26Duncan and one man gang.

00:40:28Double toss line.

00:40:32Hacksaw Jim Duncan is fired up.

00:40:36All six are in the ring.

00:40:37Now the referee don't know who's legal.

00:40:38He knows Hacksaw Jim Duncan is fired up.

00:40:39He knows Hacksaw Jim Duncan is fired up.

00:40:42And so is the money.

00:40:44Are you sure?

00:40:45Indeed, and look at this.

00:40:46The money in the ball trouble.

00:40:48Three against one.

00:40:49Now I ask you, is that fair?

00:40:51We saw it before, didn't we?

00:40:53Well, it wasn't three against one.

00:40:54It wasn't?

00:40:55It certainly was.

00:40:56Oh, no, no, no.

00:40:57Look at this.

00:40:58Jimmy Hart.

00:40:59The Bush record is out.

00:41:00Jimmy Hart.

00:41:01Who are they gonna do that?

00:41:03Down the cover.

00:41:04Turn it around.

00:41:05Turn it around.

00:41:06Turn it around.

00:41:07Look at the top left.

00:41:08Jerry Sachs weeps.

00:41:09No!

00:41:10No!

00:41:11Down on the mountain.

00:41:13And now they're the top to the outside.

00:41:16Down with the cover.

00:41:17And who's legal?

00:41:18Wrong turn.

00:41:19Come on.

00:41:20That's not fair.

00:41:21Bring the bounce start over.

00:41:23Here are the winners.

00:41:24Exxaw Jim Cummins and the Bush record.

00:41:33Indeed, we can't wait.

00:41:34Yeah.

00:41:35Stone Cold Steve Austin to square off against the mighty Yoko Zina to kick things off here tonight.

00:41:40On the free-for-all.

00:41:41What about that bikini beach blast off, Mr. Perfect, huh?

00:41:45I'll tell you one thing, McMahon.

00:41:46I see all the beautiful women back here in the bikinis, but it's been a long time since

00:41:50anybody's tried to kick sand in my face.

00:41:52Is that right?

00:41:53And when was the last time you were in a pool there, JR?

00:41:55Meatball and Carolyn?

00:41:56Hell yeah.

00:41:57That long ago, was it?

00:42:00Yeah, late 80s.

00:42:01I see.

00:42:02I bet you had an inner tube, too.

00:42:03Still got it.

00:42:04In any event, we're ready for action.

00:42:05The question is, is Stone Cold Steve Austin ready for Yokozuna, the biggest man in the

00:42:10history, JR, of the World Wrestling Federation?

00:42:13You're right, Vince.

00:42:14In addition, Yokozuna is a two-time WWF champion and a huge challenge for Stone Cold Steve Austin,

00:42:20who, quite frankly, has been on a real role here lately in the WWF.

00:42:25Yes, the King of the Ring Award winner, Stone Cold Steve Austin, to kick things off here on

00:42:30the free-for-all, ladies and gentlemen, against a, well, last weighed in at 660 pounds.

00:42:36Here he comes!

00:42:37His opponent, weighing 660 pounds, the mighty Yokozuna!

00:42:51660 pounds!

00:42:52Those of you who know your WWF wrestling history, remember, Haystack's Calhoun at one time was

00:43:04the biggest fan in the history of our illustrious game, tipped the scale somewhere around the

00:43:09500-pound mark.

00:43:10He's a mere baby compared to what Yokozuna is today.

00:43:12Yokozuna may weigh closer to 700 pounds.

00:43:15One thing's for sure.

00:43:16Well, what'd he have for lunch?

00:43:17A lot.

00:43:18He started eating about 11.

00:43:19I think he finished about 3.30 this afternoon.

00:43:21However, notwithstanding his sizable girth, you, Mr. Perfect, being a consummate athlete,

00:43:29or the perfect athlete that you would, would certainly grant that Yokozuna is an extraordinary

00:43:34competitor.

00:43:35No doubt about it, McMahon, but you take a look at Steve Austin.

00:43:38Either you like the way you don't like him, but one thing for sure, you gotta respect the

00:43:42man.

00:43:43Indeed, everyone respects the wrestling skills of one.

00:43:46Stone Cold Steve Austin, as they do Yokozuna!

00:43:51He's pretty good-sized, gentlemen.

00:43:54Here's Yokozuna.

00:43:55Look out for Mahan.

00:43:56Stone Cold Steve Austin going to work on Yokozuna.

00:43:59Wasting no time at all.

00:44:01And maybe the only way running to beat this big man is to attack him for a while.

00:44:04And the big man is to attack him just like that.

00:44:06Austin's gotta get off early.

00:44:07And more importantly, get Yokozuna off the big man's tail.

00:44:10Look at this, look at this, look at this, look at this.

00:44:12Yokozuna, look forward to watching.

00:44:14Austin's down.

00:44:15Yokozuna with a hit by Austin's down.

00:44:20Yokozuna is taking it to Stone Cold Steve Austin.

00:44:24And a rake of the face.

00:44:26And Stone Cold trying to knock the chucks out from the big man.

00:44:29And a close line, and he can't get Yokozuna down.

00:44:33And can't believe it.

00:44:34Look at this, here he comes again, another one.

00:44:36May need a wrecking ball to get Yokozuna off his feet.

00:44:39Steve Austin, and Oya!

00:44:42Down!

00:44:43Samara drop, very effectively done.

00:44:46It may be over already for Austin.

00:44:48Austin's gotta get away from him.

00:44:50The longer this match goes, the better Austin's odds are.

00:44:53And Steve Austin is going nowhere.

00:44:55Yokozuna has him right where he wants him.

00:44:59Yokozuna dropped by.

00:45:02I can't about it.

00:45:03What a terrible sight that must be.

00:45:05Well, notwithstanding the sight, imagine how that felt with 660 pounds coming down across your head.

00:45:14Well, he should be going for the cover right here, he's wasting time.

00:45:18I tell you what, we're kicking off SummerSlam in a big way.

00:45:21You still have time to be a part of it, everybody.

00:45:23Yes, I bet.

00:45:24Get on that telephone, get that phone call, be with us tonight on Pay Per View.

00:45:28I promise you, you'll never forget the 1996 version of SummerSlam.

00:45:33The McKinney Beach Blast continuing right after this match.

00:45:36It looks like this match is gonna be over with here in a moment.

00:45:39Yokozuna going upstairs.

00:45:42Wait a minute.

00:45:43Oh, my God, the Rose Bowl.

00:45:45A two, he got it.

00:45:50Here is your winner, Stone Cold Steve Austin.

00:45:53Anything can happen here in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:45:56We have just seen Stone Cold Steve Austin pull off what someone say was an upset.

00:46:02Yokozuna with that enormous girth in this instance, it worked against him.

00:46:07He is so heavy.

00:46:09All that weight, all that leverage down on the rope when Yokozuna has broken the ring ropes and

00:46:14lost the match.

00:46:15Well, take a look at that.

00:46:17You take a look at it.

00:46:19Approaching the ring.

00:46:20This man scares me.

00:46:21Weighing 330 pounds.

00:46:25Papa Shango.

00:46:29You got the wrong side of this guy.

00:46:30You'll be teasing profits.

00:46:32Talk about a smokescreen.

00:46:35Papa Shango.

00:46:38Appearing before this massive crowd.

00:46:42Over 80,000 later on, we'll get the official attendance record.

00:46:47A look of concern on everyone's face here at Wembley Stadium.

00:46:52Whose head is that?

00:46:58That big part?

00:47:00The skull.

00:47:01That's Papa Shango.

00:47:02Not the one on his shoulders, the one he's carrying the smoking.

00:47:06One, two, three, four.

00:47:08I'll tell you, it's better looking than Chico.

00:47:10More hair on it.

00:47:12His opponent, Papa Shango.

00:47:16Well, you would think you're in Mexico City.

00:47:19And the largest ball-wing in Mexico at the moment.

00:47:24Papa Shango.

00:47:27Well, this man has been a test, Papa Shango.

00:47:31Tito Santana has all the rest in the building.

00:47:33But, you know, he went to that bullfighting school, or whatever they call it.

00:47:36And he's quicker now.

00:47:37He's squeezing his hands.

00:47:38Is that a red chihuahua?

00:47:39Hey.

00:47:40Some fur he found on the highway, isn't it?

00:47:45Something probably left over from the Papa Shango match.

00:47:49Of course not.

00:47:50That's his hat.

00:47:51You know, you can get some crazy blue and stick that on top of everyone's hat.

00:47:54He looked pretty good.

00:47:55What is this with you and the fur?

00:47:58I didn't infer anything.

00:48:00I didn't think so.

00:48:02Tito Santana, one of the all-time greats, has 80,000 now,

00:48:06pretty much filled up this stadium.

00:48:08This capacity crowd has been looking forward to Summer Slam for over a month.

00:48:16The stadium has been sold out.

00:48:18The hottest ticket in London, in old Europe.

00:48:23Sold over 80,000 tickets in one period of time.

00:48:27And approximately 10 hours you could not buy another seat at Wembley Stadium.

00:48:34He must have known that Ric Flair was gonna do it.

00:48:38Yeah, well, we're gonna wait and find out exactly in whose corner of it.

00:48:42Look out!

00:48:43We can do it!

00:48:44Papa Shango attacking Tito Santana in his very own corner.

00:48:50Papa Shango is brutal.

00:48:53Papa Shango is massive.

00:48:55330 pounds, he's huge.

00:48:57One, two, three, four, four, five.

00:49:01You'll tear your ears off real quick.

00:49:03And his principal weapon, more than his awesome size, is the intimidation he possesses.

00:49:10You know, some people believe in that voodoo.

00:49:12And if you do believe, then Papa Shango will unquestionably have an effect on you.

00:49:17Right now he's got quite an effect on Tito Santana.

00:49:20I don't believe in things like that.

00:49:22You don't.

00:49:23But I've seen it happen.

00:49:25I've seen him do some things I've seen nobody else do.

00:49:27That's good luck for me.

00:49:28My, what a maneuver Papa Shango charging Tito Santana.

00:49:33He asked me to jump, I'm gonna say how many times and how high.

00:49:36He can intimidate y'all, right?

00:49:40And that is exactly what has happened, I think.

00:49:43Last far in this matchup, Shango charging Santana.

00:49:47Santana with the other way.

00:49:48Can you hurt this man?

00:49:52You know, he puts himself into a trance.

00:49:54He's always humming things and chanting and stuff.

00:49:58Well, he's chanting and humming to himself right about now.

00:50:01Santana with a close line.

00:50:03He's not down yet.

00:50:04Unbelievable.

00:50:05Drop deck.

00:50:07Tito Santana.

00:50:10Really doing another.

00:50:12He's going out after Papa Shango.

00:50:14He's taking it to Papa Shango on the outside as well.

00:50:17Why would you go after Papa Shango?

00:50:19Why not?

00:50:20Why would you make him mad?

00:50:21Because perhaps the best defense is a great offense.

00:50:25Yeah, right into the ring post.

00:50:28Tito should have gotten in that ring with that chihuahua he had in that shower curtain and

00:50:32just give up right there.

00:50:33Sure, yeah.

00:50:34That's not the style of Tito Santana, one of the all time great competitors in

00:50:38the WWF and he's pumped.

00:50:40And why not?

00:50:41Before 80,000 he leaps from the top rope.

00:50:44What's gonna happen?

00:50:45Yes.

00:50:46No doubt that.

00:50:48That's it.

00:50:49One, two, three, two.

00:50:52Did he nail him with that clothesline?

00:50:55End of the arm by Tito Santana.

00:50:58Applying yet more pressure on the arm and shoulder of this giant like Papa Shango.

00:51:03Head full of hair by Papa Shango.

00:51:08Santana for the ride now off the rope.

00:51:10Missing with a roundhouse ride.

00:51:11Another close line, Santana.

00:51:13No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:51:16Two.

00:51:17Again, Santana coming ever so close, walking right into that uppercut.

00:51:22What do you think Papa Shango's den looks like at home?

00:51:25His den?

00:51:26Yeah.

00:51:27What home?

00:51:28Who knows?

00:51:29That's a chunk, that's a chunk.

00:51:33Santana hanging on, fighting his big 330 pounder.

00:51:39He knows what he's doing in there, there's no doubt about it.

00:51:44So now things slowing up a bit for Tito Santana, Papa Shango.

00:51:50Catching his breath, moving in now.

00:51:52And it looks like the lonely bull.

00:51:55Papa Shango?

00:52:00No.

00:52:01El Matador, or El Doormat, whatever they call him.

00:52:04What do you mean by El Doormat?

00:52:06Papa Shango's been waving his feet on him.

00:52:08Well, it could very well turn out to be the other way around.

00:52:12Papa Shango now with Tito Santana.

00:52:15El Matador scoops him up.

00:52:17Stamps him down the canvas with authority.

00:52:19Off the rope with more momentum.

00:52:21Clops the elbow.

00:52:22El Matador.

00:52:23Night night, El Matador.

00:52:25Now look, what is he doing?

00:52:27He's putting a spell on him, that's what he's doing.

00:52:29He could have covered Santana.

00:52:31I'm not too sure he would have had the three count, but he could have covered him.

00:52:34I believe he has other plans for El Matador.

00:52:37I don't know if we wanna see this.

00:52:39Papa Shango now with, what a headbutt.

00:52:43A negative reception by this capacity crowd at Wembley Stadium from Papa Shango,

00:52:54who unquestionably is taking his time and that may cost him the match.

00:52:59He knows what he's doing.

00:53:01Right to the midsection.

00:53:03He's not gonna rush himself.

00:53:06He's gonna take some time, he's gonna hurt Santana.

00:53:09He's gonna enjoy every minute of it.

00:53:13He's a strange man.

00:53:15Papa Shango with Tito Santana.

00:53:17What's gonna happen now?

00:53:18Has him up.

00:53:19That's him.

00:53:20Down to the canvas.

00:53:24Papa Shango again, not covering Tito Santana.

00:53:28Wow, look at this.

00:53:29He's got plans for Santana.

00:53:31Shango in the second row.

00:53:34Shango drawing power from now and messing with the elbow.

00:53:40Santana moving out of the way in plenty of time.

00:53:43Just like a charging bull.

00:53:46And now Tito Santana.

00:53:48Kicking in the midsection again and again and again.

00:53:51Yes.

00:53:52Santana with all the leverage.

00:53:54Santana ramming on the head of Papa Shango.

00:53:57He's mad now.

00:53:58I guess the old Tabasco is kicking him.

00:54:01Shango's still miraculously on his feet.

00:54:06Back, buddy.

00:54:07He's no longer on his feet now.

00:54:09Here it comes.

00:54:10It's all over.

00:54:11Santana trying to judge a distance off the rope.

00:54:15One, two, three.

00:54:18Yes, he got him, he got him.

00:54:20No, he didn't, two count.

00:54:22The referee signed on a two count.

00:54:24So close.

00:54:25Nonetheless, he's got a two count.

00:54:27So close.

00:54:28Nonetheless, Papa Shango back to his feet.

00:54:32Santana charging.

00:54:33Look at that.

00:54:34Wow.

00:54:35He get driven into that turnbuckle.

00:54:38What a jolly there by Papa Shango.

00:54:40Shango now with Tito Santana has him up across the back.

00:54:44This is his favorite.

00:54:46This is how he finishes people off.

00:54:48Tito Santana.

00:54:49Tito Santana on the receiving end of the shoulder breaker.

00:54:53The cover.

00:54:54One, two.

00:54:55He gets it.

00:54:56I can't believe I knew he'd get it.

00:54:58I did not.

00:54:59I did too.

00:55:03Here is over, Papa Shango.

00:55:09Yeah.

00:55:10The following contest is schedule four.

00:55:22One fall and it is for this WWE Cruiserweight Championship.

00:55:27Approaching the ring from San Diego, California.

00:55:30Weighing in at 175 pounds, the Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio.

00:55:39What an emotion for Mysterio.

00:55:42Staka 2's YJ Stinger presents WWE SummerSlam.

00:55:46Live from the sold out America West Arena right here in Phoenix, Arizona.

00:55:50And it is next only on Pay Per View.

00:55:52Staka 2, YJ Stinger.

00:55:54For that extreme boost of energy, you gotta feel the sting.

00:56:04And the challenger from Raleigh, North Carolina.

00:56:07And weighing in at 209 pounds, Shannon Moore.

00:56:11Well, perhaps Shannon Moore is learning something from Matt Hardy.

00:56:14Perhaps it's enough to put Shannon Moore over the top here tonight.

00:56:17With a Cruiserweight title on the line, Mysterio versus Shannon Moore.

00:56:21We are moments away from SummerSlam on Pay Per View.

00:56:25And what a way to whet your appetite here tonight with these two Cruiserweights.

00:56:28Two great athletes, one great Cruiserweight Champion,

00:56:31who just got disrespected by Shannon Moore.

00:56:33And that's Rey Mysterio, who's firing up.

00:56:35Mysterio with the right hands.

00:56:36We are sold out at the America West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona tonight.

00:56:40Thank you for joining us on Heat on Spike TV with SummerSlam coming up next.

00:56:44Good head scissor right there. Beautiful by Mysterio.

00:56:47Great Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio whips Shannon Moore across the ring.

00:56:51Boot to the face.

00:56:52And Shannon Moore looking to win that Cruiserweight Championship.

00:56:55That was real innovative. Hip toss right into that turnbuckle.

00:56:59Beautiful by Moore.

00:57:00One, two, three.

00:57:01And remember it was the Sensei of Mattitude, Matt Hardy,

00:57:02who had the Cruiserweight title when Rey Mysterio took it to Matt Hardy a couple of months ago.

00:57:07And that cover, hook of the leg, and Mysterio just gets the shoulder up.

00:57:10See how quick Shannon Moore dove on top of Mysterio's body to try and get that championship.

00:57:15Moore up over the top.

00:57:16Mysterio rolls right through it and a drop kick to the face.

00:57:19You feel the electricity here tonight, partner?

00:57:21This place is fired up, pumped up.

00:57:23Phoenix, Arizona SummerSlam.

00:57:25Wow.

00:57:26What a shoulder.

00:57:27And look at Rey Mysterio using the top of the scene at Senton.

00:57:31Connects to Shannon Moore.

00:57:33And here's the reversal.

00:57:35Cruiserweight Champion to the corner.

00:57:36Tremendous balance by Mysterio.

00:57:37Lans on his feet but runs into an elbow.

00:57:39Shannon Moore going to the top rope.

00:57:41Moonsault court screw.

00:57:42Wow.

00:57:43Connects.

00:57:44We may crown a new Cruiserweight Champion right here.

00:57:46And a kick out by Mysterio before the count of three.

00:57:49And Shannon Moore a bit upset.

00:57:50A little bit of temper tantrum there.

00:57:53Temper tantrum.

00:57:54Reminds me of my kid.

00:57:55He's four years old.

00:57:56Mysterio whipped into the corner.

00:57:58Slide through the legs.

00:57:59Caught by Shannon Moore, however.

00:58:00Mysterio off the ropes.

00:58:02Catches Shannon Moore.

00:58:03Look out.

00:58:04Uh-oh.

00:58:05Dialing up, baby.

00:58:076-1 now.

00:58:11He got all that bad boy.

00:58:13And Mysterio.

00:58:14He's all over the place Mysterio.

00:58:16Rey Mysterio top rope.

00:58:18Look at this.

00:58:19Went for the west coast pop.

00:58:21Got his shoulders down.

00:58:22Hook of the leg.

00:58:23And it's over.

00:58:24Mysterio retains.

00:58:25Nice.

00:58:26The Cruiserweight Championship.

00:58:27Here is your winner and still Cruiserweight Champion.

00:58:30Rey Mysterio.

00:58:31Rey Mysterio getting the job done here tonight in Phoenix, Arizona.

00:58:36This is a SummerSlam special attraction, 15 Diva Battle Royal.

00:58:49Introducing first your special guest referee, Chavo Guerrero.

00:58:55Hello, everybody.

00:58:56Michael Cole and WWE Hall of Famer Jerry the King Lawler at ringside for this SummerSlam special attraction.

00:59:02And I know how excited you are.

00:59:04It's been one heck of a weekend and what a way to start off SummerSlam.

00:59:08What do you mean excited?

00:59:09Excited.

00:59:10I am very angry.

00:59:11How did Chavo get this assignment?

00:59:13I filled out questionnaires.

00:59:15I filled out forms.

00:59:16I even took a physical.

00:59:17I should be the referee of this match.

00:59:19Well, you're not.

00:59:20Chavo is.

00:59:21But we do have Diva action in this 15 Diva Battle Royal with your special guest referee, Chavo Guerrero.

00:59:29Luckiest guy.

00:59:30I wish he landed on his head.

00:59:32Well, he's excited.

00:59:33Then I could have refereed this match.

00:59:37And now introducing the Divas.

00:59:40Oh.

00:59:42Michael, I'm so excited.

00:59:44It's gonna be great.

00:59:46Julien.

00:59:47Katie Lee Burchell

00:59:50Alicia Fox

00:59:52Beth Phoenix

01:00:16Kelly Kelly Kelly

01:00:18And the Divas Champion

01:00:20Mickey James

01:00:22A plethora of Divas

01:00:24Without a doubt Michael this is

01:00:26at least my idea what heaven's gonna be like

01:00:28Divas from all three brands

01:00:30for this SummerSlam special attraction

01:00:33You know the Divas have been all over Los Angeles

01:00:36all over Hollywood this weekend

01:00:38Big hits at WWE SummerSlam Access

01:00:41Right across the Staples Center all weekend long

01:00:44I know you were out there for a couple of days

01:00:46I was out there and I keep up with the Divas online

01:00:49You do?

01:00:50WWE.com, the Divas, of course

01:00:52You ask questions of the Divas all the time

01:00:54I check the background

01:00:56And here we go

01:00:57I Wikipedia'd Kelly Kelly the other day

01:00:59You think she felt it?

01:01:00And here we go

01:01:01And here we go

01:01:02This is the Diva Battle Royal

01:01:03You're eliminated when you go through the ropes

01:01:05And now both feet touch the floor

01:01:07Maria

01:01:08In trouble already

01:01:09That didn't take long did it?

01:01:11What is the victor gain in this SummerSlam special attraction?

01:01:14Well can you imagine the distinction

01:01:16Of outlasting all the Divas?

01:01:19Of all three brands?

01:01:20Maybe you'll have the opportunity to do a special interview afterwards backstage

01:01:24And a congratulatory kiss

01:01:26That would be nice

01:01:27That would be very nice

01:01:28Look at the Divas going at it

01:01:30Wedding your appetite here for the 22nd annual SummerSlam

01:01:34At the sold out Staples Center in Los Angeles

01:01:36Over 17,000 WWE fans on hand

01:01:40I didn't get a chance to catch

01:01:42Uh oh, Rosa's in trouble

01:01:44Rosa eliminated

01:01:46What a hard landing

01:01:47Go for Maria

01:01:48Do you miss Maria?

01:01:49Do you miss Maria being on Raw every Monday night?

01:01:51I certainly do

01:01:56I miss Maria

01:01:57Look at

01:01:58Whoa

01:01:59None of the bell is out

01:02:00Chavo Guerrero the special

01:02:03Oh, oh, oh

01:02:04Out, out

01:02:05Whoa

01:02:06Thank goodness

01:02:10Singing her surrender song

01:02:11I told you about Jillian

01:02:12She's so much prettier with her mouth closed

01:02:14The Divas Champion Mickie James

01:02:16Eliminating Jillian

01:02:18Whoa

01:02:19This action is

01:02:22Fast and furious

01:02:23Look out, there goes

01:02:24Who's that?

01:02:25Nick, Nicky James

01:02:26But she hung on

01:02:29And look at this

01:02:30And uh, both the

01:02:33One of the Bella Twins

01:02:34Will be eliminated

01:02:35Along with I believe

01:02:36That was uh

01:02:37Who was that with her over there?

01:02:38Maria

01:02:39Maria's out

01:02:41Yeah, because you don't have to

01:02:42Go over the top rope

01:02:43For this type of battle

01:02:44Just both feet hit the floor

01:02:45And they're gone

01:02:46Look at Gail Kim

01:02:47Trying to eliminate Alicia

01:02:49And Natalya getting involved as well

01:02:52So many of our Divas

01:02:54Tell me how you describe them again

01:02:58They're smart, sexy, and powerful

01:03:00WWE Divas

01:03:02Sexy, powerful, and smart

01:03:04And there's uh, Katie Lee hanging on

01:03:07She has a unique look

01:03:08Ooh, and sometimes I don't care what they got upstairs

01:03:10I just look they got a great stairway

01:03:12Thanks for coming

01:03:13Katie Lee

01:03:14Come on Katie Lee

01:03:15Oh

01:03:16Nicky James eliminating a number of Divas in this match

01:03:19Good day, Kelly's still in, my favorite

01:03:21Couldn't ask for a better way to start Summerslam, huh?

01:03:24I'm not kidding

01:03:27Diva's the-

01:03:28Ever tell you about the time my girlfriend found out I was trying to date a Diva?

01:03:31No

01:03:32She got some energy she called my wife

01:03:34I was in real trouble

01:03:36The Divas all look so glamorous

01:03:38Uh-huh

01:03:39This past weekend part of the-

01:03:40Whoa!

01:03:41Huge red carpet VIP party as Alicia is eliminated

01:03:45Celebrities from around the globe participating in that event part of Summerslam weekend

01:03:49How many Divas we got left?

01:03:54One, two, three, four

01:03:55Oh, that messed up the count

01:03:56I don't think that messed it up

01:03:58I just think the uh

01:03:59Seven Divas

01:04:00Remained by the beauty

01:04:01By the passion

01:04:02Whoa, look at this move

01:04:04That's Layla

01:04:05Layla has put herself in harm's way and she is eliminated

01:04:12By Melina

01:04:13Look at the glam is on Beth Phoenix go

01:04:18And then there were six

01:04:21I was talking to Beth Phoenix earlier and she actually asked me out

01:04:27No

01:04:28Yeah, we were in her dressing room and she said, you out

01:04:30The glam is on

01:04:33Where do you get this stuff from?

01:04:36What? This really happens to me

01:04:38Not surprising

01:04:39You're romantically challenged, Michael

01:04:41You don't hang around the Divas enough

01:04:43Romantically challenged

01:04:44Whoa!

01:04:45Did you see that?

01:04:46Did I ever?

01:04:47Melina

01:04:49Oh

01:04:50And Mickie

01:04:51Mickie James with the head

01:04:54Look out Mickie

01:04:56Almost eliminated

01:04:57The flexibility of Melina is amazing

01:05:01Melina and Mickie, Mickie in trouble and now they're both outside the ropes

01:05:06The all-time great Divas doing battle

01:05:09Melina and Mickie James

01:05:10What a shot

01:05:11What a shot

01:05:15What's gonna happen?

01:05:17Oh!

01:05:18No!

01:05:19Melina eliminated and Mickie as well

01:05:21We are down to four

01:05:23That's the glamazon, Kelly, Kelly, Natalya and I believe Eve

01:05:29Uh-oh, this will be a showdown

01:05:32You're not kidding

01:05:33If these two square off

01:05:36That Phoenix ain't come on

01:05:41The Phoenix ain't come on

01:05:42Natalya and the glamazon training blows

01:05:44Two of the toughest divas in WWE

01:05:46Boy and Natalya given just what she's getting here

01:05:50Oh, and down goes Beth

01:05:55Down goes Beth hard

01:05:57Now the problem is she's trying to get the glamazon through the ropes into the floor

01:06:00And look at Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, hey!

01:06:23Well, there goes Natalya

01:06:24Eliminated by Eve and Kelly

01:06:26Well, that was a good smart and amazing

01:06:29Good smart move, but that leaves them in there with, that powerhouse Beth Phoenix.

01:06:35Former Women's Champion, Beth Phoenix.

01:06:37Kelly in trouble now.

01:06:42Eve might think twice about that.

01:06:46Kelly and Eve should, at least for the time being, try to.

01:06:50No. It's hard when you got to contend with this.

01:06:52This power and strength of the glamazon.

01:06:54Look out, no way.

01:06:59Look out.

01:07:02And Beth could be in trouble, however.

01:07:04And here's the double team you were talking about, gang.

01:07:07That's what Kelly, Kelly and Eve need to do.

01:07:09And they may have Beth Phoenix eliminated here.

01:07:12Kelly and Eve desperately trying to eliminate the glamazon.

01:07:16Look at Beth hanging on.

01:07:20Hey, what is Chabo doing?

01:07:22Chabo?

01:07:25You can't do that.

01:07:26Wait a minute.

01:07:29The winner of this match, Beth Phoenix.

01:07:31The glamazon.

01:07:33What?

01:07:34How can the ref do that?

01:07:36These guys aren't wasting any time.

01:07:42They're bad blood between these two, right, JR?

01:07:44No doubt about that.

01:07:45Nice robbery here in Burden.

01:07:48Atomic brought by Spike Dudley.

01:07:50Spike Dudley, who might weigh a buck and a half on a good full day.

01:07:55Whoa.

01:07:56After maybe a trip to the buffet line.

01:07:58He's not that tall either.

01:07:59He's not.

01:08:00Matter of fact, he's so short, his hair smells like feet.

01:08:02Wait a minute.

01:08:03What's this already?

01:08:04Steven Richards not wasting any time trying to gain that unfair advantage on what an emotional night.

01:08:10I have talked to many of the superstars involved in SummerSlam tonight as Spike Dudley takes a very uncomfortable ride with an even worse landing.

01:08:19But this is such an emotional day with so many huge matchups tonight here at SummerSlam.

01:08:26Vertical press, suplex, and Steven Richards holding on to that front face lock very pugnaciously.

01:08:35Richardson is certainly a nerdy son of a guy.

01:08:41There's a hook of the leg and a near fall.

01:08:43He's just not right.

01:08:46I said on one of our broadcasts, I called him Wacko, and the next day he walked by me and said, hey, thanks.

01:08:52You're calling me Wacko.

01:08:53That was a compliment to him.

01:08:54Yeah, I guess compliment to him.

01:08:55One of the nicer things that have ever been said about Steven Richards, even from family members.

01:08:59Right.

01:09:00Mike Dudley, that jawbreaker.

01:09:02And now Spike, he has to take a lot of chances to survive, looking to create some high risk offense.

01:09:08If you're gonna see all kinds of offense tonight at SummerSlam.

01:09:13And wait, Spike got him hooked.

01:09:15Did he get, no, he got a near fall.

01:09:18Nice counter there by Spike Dudley and Steven Richards.

01:09:21Going Wacko.

01:09:22Come on.

01:09:23He's a little upset now.

01:09:24Boy, you're right, JR, tonight.

01:09:25Well, we've said it over and over, but I just can't help but believe that this is gonna be the greatest SummerSlam that we've ever had.

01:09:32I mean, these matches, the intensity, the rivalries, the importance of these matches, it's gonna be huge.

01:09:38Certainly on paper, it looks as if this will surpass any SummerSlam that we have ever had the privilege of bringing to the fans.

01:09:46And what a powerbomb.

01:09:48And that should be, wait.

01:09:49What?

01:09:50Little Spike got that right shoulder inches off the canvas.

01:09:53How did he do that?

01:09:54And referee Chad Patton got a great look at it.

01:09:56Richards certainly wouldn't agree with that assessment.

01:10:00I think Richards definitely thought he had a three count there.

01:10:03So much has been said about the Brock Lesnar undisputed title back with a Dudley dog out of nowhere.

01:10:15Little Spike with a Dudley dog and Smack Dudley wins it.

01:10:19Here is your winner, Spike Bentley.

01:10:24This contest set for a fall is for the United States Championship.

01:10:34Richards is the first.

01:10:35Representing the shield, weighing 225 pounds, he is the current United States Champion, Dean Ambrose.

01:10:47Dean Ambrose making his way through the WWE Universe here at Staples Center.

01:10:52We're sold out tonight in Los Angeles.

01:10:54WWE fans still making their way down Figaro Street and into the Staples Center for SummerSlam tonight.

01:11:01But Dean Ambrose defending the United States Championship here on the SummerSlam kickoff.

01:11:07JBL, look at that smug look on the face of Dean Ambrose.

01:11:11Is that hockey-ness or is that confidence?

01:11:13I think it's confidence.

01:11:14Hey, King, he's done everything he said he was gonna do.

01:11:17He has a reason to be smug.

01:11:18His first match, he wins a championship.

01:11:20And the challenger from Battle Creek in Michigan, weighing 235 pounds, Rob Van Damme!

01:11:41And as our prestigious kickoff panel showed us a little bit earlier on tonight, Rob Van Damme became the number one contender for the United States Championship, guys, winning that 20-man over-the-top rope Battle Royal this past Monday night on Raw.

01:11:56Well, a very exciting return for Rob Van Damme, and you know what can make it even better?

01:12:01Winning the United States Championship here tonight.

01:12:04And speaking of our prestigious panel, of course, the Hall of Famers, Booker T and Shawn Michaels, SmackDown General Manager, Mickey Guerrero.

01:12:11And John, you're not the only one that can multitask while doing commentary.

01:12:15Shawn Michaels is tweeting as we speak at Shawn Michaels, and he just said, I'm digging this, hashtag SummerSlam.

01:12:23That's why he's a heartbreak kid, one of the greatest of all time, up there with the former king, or is he still going to be a king?

01:12:29King Booker.

01:12:30And the WWE fans firmly in the corner of Rob Van Damme.

01:12:37He's six foot tall, 235 pounds from Battle Creek, Michigan, but makes his home now in Los Angeles.

01:12:44Well, of course, Dean Ambrose has certainly not gone out of his way to make any friends or

01:12:48influence people since his arrival here in the WWE.

01:12:51So not gonna be many supporters for The Shield and Dean Ambrose out here tonight.

01:12:5625 minutes away from SummerSlam on pay-per-view.

01:13:01Van Damme would love to win the United States Championship.

01:13:03Recall he returned at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view last month.

01:13:07A spectacular performance in the Money in the Bank ladder match.

01:13:10John almost won the thing.

01:13:12He was two runs away from being the Money in the Bank holder himself until Randy Orton caught him.

01:13:16Dean Ambrose won the United States title back at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view a number of months ago.

01:13:21His first title match he's ever had, Dean Ambrose, he wins a championship and hasn't lost it yet.

01:13:27That is impressive, that does say a lot.

01:13:29King, have you ever seen a team make a bigger impact on the three-man team like The Shield has done?

01:13:38Well, you know what, they have been very, very impressive.

01:13:42They put down a lot of WWE superstars.

01:13:44The only three-man team that I can rank up there with them as far as making an impact are the Wyatts.

01:13:50And we'll see Bray Wyatt ring the fire later on tonight at SummerSlam.

01:13:54He saw Ambrose mocking Rob Van Damme.

01:13:57Ambrose said in an exclusive interview on WWE.com that there is, quote, no way RBD wins tonight.

01:14:05Rob Van Damme, the former WWE Champion.

01:14:10Well, it's good to be confident, and it's good to feel that there's no way that Rob Van Damme wins tonight.

01:14:16I can assure you, Rob Van Damme feels in his heart and soul that he will walk out of here the United States Champion.

01:14:22And who knows, anything can happen in the WWE.

01:14:25You know, John, The Shield has been going to say on a number of occasions that the, quote,

01:14:29old guard has got to go, that they're complacent, hollowed-out icons, that it's time for a new generation to rise up.

01:14:35Do you think Van Damme is one of the guys they may be talking about?

01:14:39I can guarantee that Rob Van Damme is one of the guys that they're talking about.

01:14:42But as you can see, that's an old guard.

01:14:46I like the old guard.

01:14:47Look at Van Damme fighting back.

01:14:50Remember, Michael, Shield also said that about The Undertaker, and

01:14:54they're the ones who put out The Undertaker.

01:14:56It is their yard now.

01:14:58Nice clothesline by Rob Van Damme.

01:15:01Twitter will be very active tonight.

01:15:06We're encouraging all of you to join in the conversation using the hashtag SummerSlam.

01:15:11Here's the cover in Ambrose with his shoulder up off the headlock by Van Damme.

01:15:16I'm gonna be tweeting as well, at Jerry Lawler, you, Cole, what about you?

01:15:20At Michael Cole, and of course, at JC Layfield.

01:15:23I only block people who say the good things about you, Michael.

01:15:26I block a lot of people.

01:15:29Rob Van Damme might wanna block some of these shots from Dean Ambrose.

01:15:35Dean Ambrose and the rest of the Shield, as John mentioned,

01:15:41quite the impact since debuting at Survivor Series last year.

01:15:46It seems like every pay for you, they just shine.

01:15:49Look at Van Damme, that hybrid style.

01:15:52He mixes the high flying and martial arts, extreme kickboxer as well.

01:15:58As you know, John, Van Damme tougher than most.

01:16:02Tougher than most.

01:16:03Tougher than most people I've ever seen.

01:16:06I got the fortunate opportunity to wrestle Rob Van Damme anytime.

01:16:08And here's Ambrose, cover forearm right in the face, forcing Van Damme to kick down.

01:16:11All those kicks are one reason I'm glad I'm down here with you and King.

01:16:14And a neck breaker by Ambrose.

01:16:19And this pace right now, favoring Dean Ambrose and Van Damme powers out again at two.

01:16:24I said earlier that there wouldn't be many Dean Ambrose supporters,

01:16:32but it sounds like it's pretty well even split.

01:16:35Yeah, quite the mixed reaction as the Staples Center continues to fill up here in Los Angeles.

01:16:40You gotta understand, these WWE Universe ready to go.

01:16:42This is one of the greatest arenas in the entire world here at the Staples Center.

01:16:46They love their sports entertainment.

01:16:47Yeah, fifth consecutive year, SummerSlam has been hosted here.

01:16:50Los Angeles doing a wonderful job yet again this year.

01:16:53Always welcoming us with open arms.

01:16:55When the Staples Center is packed, over 17,000 fans will be in tonight.

01:16:59Van Damme caught that one, and Dean Ambrose.

01:17:02You did that.

01:17:05Now talking trash.

01:17:07Here's the cover by the United States Champion.

01:17:12It's always one thing to get beat up by a guy, but

01:17:15I hated for him to talk to me while he's beating me up.

01:17:17Well, Ambrose has been described as slightly off.

01:17:21You think?

01:17:24Slightly off.

01:17:25Very wild and unpredictable, eccentric at times.

01:17:29Ambrose is probably the only person we have except the Tag Team Champions that have

01:17:36never lost the championship.

01:17:37Look at Van Damme.

01:17:38Think about that.

01:17:39Rollins and Reigns, of course, the current Tag Team Champions.

01:17:43The other two-thirds of the shield.

01:17:45Great balance by Van Damme.

01:17:46Cross body, lateral press.

01:17:48Needs it and up, and a kick out by the champ.

01:17:50The CM Punk Brock Lesnar stipulation for later on tonight at SummerSlam.

01:17:58No disqualification.

01:17:59Already trending worldwide on Twitter.

01:18:02Rob Van Damme may have Ambrose where he wants him.

01:18:04Check out the split leg.

01:18:05Is it an uh-oh, and Ambrose countered.

01:18:07Great counter by the champ.

01:18:09Both knees right into the midsection of Rob Van Damme.

01:18:12And again, Ambrose looks to put the number one contender away who powers out at two.

01:18:17A little bit of frustration beginning to creep in there, looks like.

01:18:24Ambrose loves that unorthodox style, but believe me, with Rob Van Damme,

01:18:29Rob Van Damme can beat him in unorthodox.

01:18:32You see what I'm saying?

01:18:33There's a look at that tremendous flexibility of Van Damme, and again, Rob Van Damme.

01:18:38Going up top.

01:18:42This could be over quick.

01:18:45Or maybe not.

01:18:47Here comes the Calvary.

01:18:49And it allows Ambrose to roll out of the way to slight distraction.

01:18:53As Van Damme was going for the five-star, here comes Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.

01:18:58And this is not good news for Rob Van Damme.

01:19:01No, it's not.

01:19:02You realize that these two guys hadn't showed up right about this time,

01:19:06we'd be celebrating a new United States Champion?

01:19:09You're exactly right, Van Damme was closing in on a victory with a five-star frog splash.

01:19:14We don't know that.

01:19:15And here comes help.

01:19:19Hey.

01:19:20The world's strongest man, Mark Henry.

01:19:24But the numbers game still.

01:19:28Uh-oh.

01:19:29Bite my tongue.

01:19:31Please do.

01:19:32The world's largest athlete in the Big Show.

01:19:37Things are even up, guys.

01:19:40Well, you may say they're even, but I'd say advantage, Rob Van Damme,

01:19:44Mark Henry, and the Big Show.

01:19:46Van Damme and Ambrose continues for the United States Championship.

01:19:50And Lesnar puck now, no disqualification.

01:19:53More on that on Summerslam on Pay Per View in a little bit.

01:19:56But this is Dean Ambrose versus Rob Van Damme for the United States Championship.

01:20:00Ambrose cover on Van Damme and a kick out.

01:20:03And guys, we saw who's at ringside.

01:20:05You're right about that.

01:20:06The shield comes down, as you said Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns show up.

01:20:10But then, the music hits and out comes Mark Henry and the Big Show.

01:20:15And it looked like Rob Van Damme may have been closing in on a victory with a five-star frog splash.

01:20:21A distraction by the shield allowed Ambrose to roll out of the way.

01:20:24Capacity crowd tonight at Staples Center.

01:20:30You got it.

01:20:32Nearing the 16 minute mark, 16 minutes away from Summerslam on Pay Per View as our Summerslam kickoff continues.

01:20:41Expect her to be a very active night socially.

01:20:48You can join on Twitter in the conversation by using the hashtag Summerslam.

01:20:53Our own Renee Young is in the social media lounge.

01:20:55You join in here in a bit.

01:20:56Whoa.

01:20:57Van Damme sent through the second rope.

01:20:58You're not touching the right leg.

01:20:59You're not touching the right leg.

01:21:00You're not touching the right leg.

01:21:01You're not touching the right leg.

01:21:02That's no man's land, perhaps for Van Damme.

01:21:03Well, it would have been if it wasn't for Big Show and Mark Henry.

01:21:06Yeah.

01:21:07Shield might as well think twice before they think about interfering in this contest.

01:21:13I think you're right, King.

01:21:16I think they'll think twice about it.

01:21:17RBD's got a little bigger Calvary on his side.

01:21:22Yeah, Mark Henry and Big Show both 400 plus pounds.

01:21:27Ambrose is still talking trash.

01:21:32He's still talking trash.

01:21:33Come on.

01:21:34Come on.

01:21:35Come on.

01:21:36What's that counter?

01:21:39Get up, get up, get up.

01:21:43Get up, get up.

01:21:44Meanwhile, the official, at a count of four, remember Van Damme has to pin or

01:21:49get the champion to submit in order to win the championship.

01:21:53Van Damme in breaks the count greatly by Rob Van Damme.

01:21:56That's gotta start at zero, Rob Van Damme talking the shield.

01:22:00What's he thinking here?

01:22:03The human highlight reel.

01:22:05Here we go.

01:22:07RVD.

01:22:08Man.

01:22:09And RVD may have injured himself as well.

01:22:15That's one of those high risk maneuvers.

01:22:18Talking about fighting like you're in somebody else's body.

01:22:21RVD's made a career out of it.

01:22:23Yeah, for the nearly 40 year old United States Championship.

01:22:27Hey, he's ageless.

01:22:29Held first by- Look at this!

01:22:31Van Damme!

01:22:32Is it enough?

01:22:33New champion!

01:22:34Kick out by Ambrose.

01:22:35Take one more look at Rob Van Damme and what we call a high risk maneuver.

01:22:41He hits Dean Ambrose.

01:22:43But like you said, Michael, hard landing for Rob Van Damme himself.

01:22:46Can you feel it?

01:22:47Uh-oh.

01:22:48Roman Reigns, Van Damme was going for some rolling thunder.

01:22:52Watch your back, watch your back.

01:22:53Off the distraction, Ambrose misses wildly.

01:22:55Van Damme, unique takedown.

01:22:57Look at this!

01:22:58Cover, shoulders, kick out at two!

01:23:00God, Van Damme can create something out of nothing, Ganny.

01:23:04Half of those moves, I don't even know if Rob knows what he's doing.

01:23:09It just happens.

01:23:11That happens.

01:23:13Spinebuster planting Van Damme.

01:23:15Stacks him off and kicks out at two.

01:23:17Harley Race, WWE Hall of Famer, the very first United States Champion.

01:23:26Been held by a dozen WWE Hall of Famers over the years.

01:23:31Including JBL, you're not a Hall of Famer yet.

01:23:33That's why I didn't mention you in that breath.

01:23:35Soon to be one day, I'm sure.

01:23:39You never know.

01:23:42You never know.

01:23:43I may not have a museum of myself like King does.

01:23:45Yep.

01:23:46Tunic in Mississippi.

01:23:47Okay.

01:23:48This coming Saturday night.

01:23:49My God.

01:23:54Nobody steps.

01:23:55Wow.

01:23:57And now Van Damme, is he closing in on the United States Championship?

01:24:02This is what Rob Van Damme was going for earlier.

01:24:04Seth Rollins.

01:24:09Watch back, Ambrose.

01:24:10Rolls him up, rolls him up, rolls him up.

01:24:12Did you get him?

01:24:13No, no, no.

01:24:14No, in two count, Van Damme kicked out.

01:24:16That's twice, Rob Van Damme could have won that championship.

01:24:19And twice the shield distraction paid off for Ambrose.

01:24:22Come on, baby.

01:24:28Nice elbow.

01:24:29Van Damme is amazing.

01:24:32Here we go.

01:24:37Rolling thunder.

01:24:38Now Van Damme's on the right side of the ring.

01:24:43Going for it again.

01:24:44He hit it.

01:24:45He hit it.

01:24:46He hit it.

01:24:47Connecting.

01:24:48Cover him, Rollins.

01:24:49And a spear by Reigns.

01:24:50Wait a minute.

01:24:51Van Damme had the championship won.

01:24:52And now Reigns and Ambrose and Rollins getting out of harm's way.

01:24:56Now we win this match as a result of a disqualification, Rob Van Damme.

01:25:15Rob Van Damme wins the match, but he doesn't win the United States Championship.

01:25:20Rob Van Damme wins the match, but he's a championship.
