00:00And just like I've been telling you all week, next week we're going to say Viva Escobar
00:06because we're going to get one more seat right here with the United States Championship
00:09and then we're going to have a tournament.
00:13Enough.
00:16It seems we've gotten complacent.
00:18Complacent with being disrespected, belittled, ignored, demeaned, and undermined week after
00:28week.
00:31Don't allow them to make you forget who you are, Los Garza.
00:42And who we are, Legado del Fantasma.
00:50That's not just a name, that's a legacy and we will not have it diminished.
00:58No, senor.
01:00Next week, I will take the United States Championship from LA Knight.
01:09They've forgotten the taste of fear.
01:14Let's remind them.
01:18You know what needs to be done.
01:22Just focus up, take that championship, and send that piece of trash, basura, back to
01:32the trailer park where he came from.
01:37With everybody saying, Escobar, si.
01:44Salud.
01:52The United States Champion just blew the roof off of the Kia Center tonight in Orlando.
02:14He does it at every arena we have a visit.
02:18Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the United States Champion, LA Knight.
02:48Let me talk to you.
03:07My God, did that look like a fun dinner to be at?
03:15Santos Escobar is telling his whole little goon squad they need to not forget who they
03:20are, yet all he's doing is trying to be like me.
03:27Nasco, I don't know if you'll forget who you are, but next week, there's a damn good chance
03:32you'll forget where you are when you catch a BFT and I knock your little churro in the
03:37dirt.
03:42Now me, on the other hand, I ain't going to forget where we are.
03:46You're talking about the nation's capital meeting the nation's champ.
03:56With this U.S. champ, well, I don't really have time to be worried about some cross-eyed
04:03halfwit calling me trash.
04:09I'll tell you what, Nasco, call me what you want.
04:12Call me trash.
04:13I'll take it.
04:14I'll own it.
04:15As a matter of fact, I might be a little bit of trash mixed with a little bit of flash,
04:19but this week, next week, any week you want, this trash will put you on your ass.
04:30And still, you're United States champion with everybody saying,
04:35United States champion!
04:39Yeah!
04:42The United States champion defending his gold in our nation's capital next week,
04:49Escobar Knight for the U.S. championship.
05:00Yay!
05:03Thank you so much for ruining that fugly celebration.
05:06It was really giving, like, my super sweet 16.
05:11Anyway, we tried to warn Tacky Time, but she just doesn't listen to me.
05:17Probably because she doesn't actually care about Naya.
05:21Mimi, can I call you Mimi?
05:23No.
05:24Mimi, we were going to go out there and, like, do what you did.
05:28What?
05:29Yeah, but it was just too much fun to watch, like a car crash, you know?
05:33Well, it's a good thing that I went instead,
05:35because now I got a WWE Women's Championship match against Naya.
05:40Ah!
05:41Nicholas!
05:44Sorry, but not really.
05:47Ah!
05:50Oh, not so tough without your kendo stick, huh?
05:53Naya!
05:54What?
05:55Naya!
05:56Now!
05:57Mimi, whatever.
05:58Oh.
06:00Ah.
06:02All right.
06:04Luchin certainly got the opportunity she so desired,
06:06but the beatdown, a bit unexpected.
06:09The reality versus the desire could be two very different things.
06:14What a matchup that is going to be.
06:16There's another championship opportunity up for grabs right here in this one.
06:22The following is a WWE Tag Team Championship
06:27number one contender match.
06:30Introducing first, accompanied by B-Fab,
06:33Angelo Dawkins, and Montez Ford,
06:37the Street Profits.
06:40The Street Profits, no strangers to success.
06:43Ford and Dawkins extremely familiar with what it means
06:46to sit atop the Tag Team Mountain.
06:48In my opinion, the addition of B-Fab recently has really made a difference.
06:52Would you agree?
06:53He has been the focus of this duo.
06:55You mentioned they have a golden history.
06:57It has been a while, but they've got an opportunity
06:59to get themselves a championship opportunity.
07:02If, big if, they can beat DIY.
07:06Winners get a shot at tag gold next here on SmackDown.
07:19From a sold-out Kia Center in Orlando, Florida,
07:23this is Friday Night SmackDown on Fox,
07:25sponsored by Progressive Insurance.
07:27Save when you bundle auto, home, or motorcycle insurance.
07:32In a matter of moments, we will crown new number one contenders
07:36to the WWE Tag Team Championship
07:39as the Street Profits await their opponents.
07:48D-I-Y!
07:52And their opponents, the team of Johnny Gargano,
07:57Virtual Monster Champa,
08:00D-I-Y!
08:03The former WWE Tag Team Champions make their entrance.
08:08And bad news, I've got to ask you,
08:10did DIY have what it takes to make it back to the top of the mountain
08:14after holding the gold for basically a cup of coffee
08:17before being dethroned by the vicious bloodline?
08:19Yeah, absolutely they do.
08:21Cannot be more motivation for this duel,
08:24especially Johnny Gargano.
08:26Think about that long, arduous path to winning tag gold,
08:30finally got there,
08:31then to lose it in your hometown of Cleveland, Ohio,
08:34in front of your entire family,
08:36no greater motivation to reconquer this division.
08:40We've been seeing the stars of NXT all night long,
08:45and Trick Willie is in the house.
08:48Trick Williams is going to have the whole WWE Universe
08:51chanting, whoop that Trick.
08:54Mark my words, can't wait to see what Trick Williams does
08:58when NXT heads to the CW.
09:00Oh, what a guy.
09:01That is the world record holder for charisma levels on planet Earth.
09:06Love Trick Willie.
09:07No doubt about it,
09:08but we are starting things off with Montez Ford of the Street Profits
09:11against Johnny Gargano,
09:13a.k.a. Johnny Wrestling the Mechanical Marvel.
09:17One half of the former champs DIY.
09:21Wade, what are you looking to see out of both teams in this one?
09:24Well, I think for the Street Profits,
09:25they had a hell of a performance in that tag gauntlet several weeks ago,
09:29picked at the post by the bloodline,
09:31who eventually won tag gold.
09:33I know for a fact that the Street Profits really want to compete
09:37with those tag champs on an even playing field,
09:40and a victory tonight will give them exactly that.
09:43It hardly feels like much of a reward
09:45when you realize that the reigning champions are the bloodline
09:48from the most vicious human beings on Earth.
09:50Careful what you wish for in this game,
09:53but knowing the personalities involved in this match,
09:56they will show no fear whatsoever,
09:58no matter how daunting taking on the champs.
10:01Look at this exchange between Ford and Gargano,
10:04two superstars who have clearly done their homework on one another, Wade.
10:08Yeah, when you look at Johnny Gargano,
10:09one of the most astute technicians in the game,
10:12highly experienced, but then contrasted with someone like Montez Ford,
10:16who perhaps has more athletic prowess than anyone in the SmackDown locker room.
10:21What a chess game that was.
10:22Here comes the deceptively agile Angelo Dawkins,
10:25a bit of a powerhouse in his own right,
10:27certainly capable of athleticism,
10:29men half his size struggle with,
10:31and here we go, that's what I'm talking about.
10:34Tommaso Ciampa outsized when it comes to stepping in there with Dawkins,
10:38but believe me, Ciampa in that ring has no idea how big or small he really is.
10:44He is salivating at taking on anyone and everyone.
10:49First whip by Dawkins, drop kick by Ford.
10:52Tremendous teamwork being displayed by The Profits.
10:56Assisted moonsault and a double flapjack takes down Johnny.
11:00What a start here for The Street Profits,
11:03overlooked by B-Fab on the outside.
11:06This was the game plan coming in.
11:08Blitzkrieg style, and it has been highly effective.
11:12Oh, God.
11:13This is just a blitz.
11:14Somebody forgot to pick up Dawkins.
11:17My goodness.
11:18Ciampa is down.
11:20The Profits are on a roll.
11:22And we'll be back after these messages for another beatdown.
