00:06:34and as far as I'm concerned, if somebody wants to walk down there, you can get bashed.
00:06:42Yeah!
00:06:48Well, this is appropriate since we are in Germany.
00:06:57Berlin!
00:07:24Euer Kaiser ist zu Hause!
00:07:33L.A. Knight, if you really are the champion that you say you are, I'm sure that you want
00:07:40to defend that United States Championship against the very best all over the world,
00:07:49right?
00:07:50Well, myself and the entirety of Berlin, we can guarantee you there is no one better on
00:08:04German soul than the German Ludwig Kaiser!
00:08:09So, let me give you a little news flash here, because after I beat you in the capital of
00:08:23my home country, one, two, three, I'm going to take that championship, I'm going to bring
00:08:30it all across over the pond, I will make it bigger than it ever was, and I will make it
00:08:38my own personal European Championship!
00:09:08I got to be honest, that's pretty impressive.
00:09:14That's really impressive for Gunther Stooge, but I'll tell you like this, you talk about
00:09:21what you want to do with this championship, you can do anything you want to do with this
00:09:25championship, pal, the only problem with that equation is that you got to win it, but you
00:09:30won't because you can't, because I won't let you.
00:09:34So here's how it goes down, you want to talk about what you're going to do with this, the
00:09:38only thing you're going to do is you're going to lay down and catch three the hard way,
00:09:42when I hit it and quit it, move on to the next, and you, with everybody in Berlin and
00:09:47all around the world, can pledge allegiance to the champ of the United States of America,
00:09:53with everybody saying L.A. Knight, yeah!
00:10:01Bring out the official, it looks like we're going to have L.A. Knight and Ludwig Kaiser
00:10:05for the United States Championship, live next!
00:10:35This week, big news Saturday, kicks off a huge season opener between eighth rank and
00:10:51state in West Virginia, with a big new kickoff crew, coming to you live from Morgantown.
00:10:56Don't miss the most watched game window in college football, beginning tomorrow, on Fox.
00:11:03Back here in Berlin at the Uber Arena, 12,021 WWE fans on hand, this matchup now underway,
00:11:12official Rod Sopata, will be the referee for L.A. Knight on your left, Ludwig Kaiser on
00:11:19your right, for the United States Championship.
00:11:21Kaiser goes 6'3", 209 pounds, born and raised in Hamburg, Germany.
00:11:34Ludwig Kaiser! Ludwig Kaiser! Ludwig Kaiser! Ludwig Kaiser! Ludwig Kaiser!
00:11:48And L.A. Knight finds himself in hostile territory tonight, it's probably what's going to happen
00:11:53tomorrow night, Wade, for Randy Orton, when he takes on Gunther, of course, who cut his
00:11:57teeth here in Germany as a professional wrestler, Gunther defending against Orton for the world
00:12:01same type of atmosphere Knight's facing tonight.
00:12:03Yeah, and it's quite a while since L.A. Knight has been in the position of perhaps not being
00:12:08the crowd favorite in a matchup, and if you're not expecting that, and I'm pretty sure L.A.
00:12:13Knight was not anticipating Ludwig Kaiser coming out tonight, it really can throw a superstar.
00:12:17Much like Gunther, Kaiser began his career, west side extreme wrestling here in Germany,
00:12:22he was actually a world champion in that promotion, he was a tag team champion as well,
00:12:27his tag team, Wade, was named Hot and Spicy.
00:12:31Oh yeah, and if you look at clips of them, they certainly were hot and spicy, but I'll
00:12:35add to it this, Michael Cole, as we know, Kaiser has very much been a tag specialist
00:12:41in his entire time under the WWE umbrella, this is his first ever opportunity to win
00:12:49singles gold.
00:12:51And looking to make it a short-lived championship reign for L.A. Knight.
00:12:57And the thing about Kaiser, Wade, is that L.A. Knight really encapsulates everything
00:13:03that Kaiser says he hates about sports entertainment today.
00:13:07He wants to wipe the silliness out of sports entertainment, and he looks at a guy like
00:13:11L.A. Knight with the catchphrases and a fan favorite and the way that he carries himself
00:13:15as one of those people he would like to take out of the equation.
00:13:18Yeah, you know, I kind of disagree with Kaiser on that one, I get it, when you get the clowns,
00:13:22the fools, the jokers in this industry, the difference with L.A. Knight is he likes to
00:13:26fool around, he likes a bit of audience participation every now and again, but imagine he'd back
00:13:31it up when that bell rings, and Kaiser knows that.
00:13:33Indeed, the biggest win of his career back earlier this month at SummerSlam, L.A. Knight
00:13:37winning his first singles championship here in WWE, a long road, and one that Knight earned.
00:13:44First knocking off Logan Paul at SummerSlam, and Kaiser now with a big right, stunning
00:13:49the champion.
00:13:50A great opportunity, this is for Imperium to add some more hardware to go along with
00:13:56Gunther's World Heavyweight Championship.
00:13:58Yeah, Kaiser's father, a legend here in Germany, Axel Dieter, taught Ludwig Kaiser how to wrestle.
00:14:05Oh, and there is a L.A. Knight exploding out of the corner with a clothesline.
00:14:10Kaiser was a big fan of Alex Wright, a fellow German superstar from WCW, a.k.a. Berlin.
00:14:18Tribute to Alex Wright will be if Kaiser wins gold here at Berlin.
00:14:22And Kaiser dropped on the back of his neck on the ring apron.
00:14:32And Kaiser, able to slip out and drive Knight kidney first into the ring.
00:14:38And Kaiser, who has a mean streak, just asked his former partner in Imperium, Giovanni Vinci,
00:14:45to return to Friday Night SmackDown next week.
00:14:48Kaiser knocked him out of action for many months.
00:14:50And he's with this move that Kaiser is about to attempt that took out Vinci,
00:14:55that took out Kofi Kingston.
00:14:57And here comes Kaiser now, right into the shoulder, into the steps of Knight.
00:15:02Can Kaiser win the United States Championship?
00:15:06We're back live on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:15:09L.A. Knight may rue the day that he decided to have an open challenge for his United States Championship
00:15:15because Ludwig Kaiser has taken the fight to the champ.
00:15:19Here's a statement that has never been uttered in the history of humanity.
00:15:24We've got an entire arena going bananas for Ludwig Kaiser.
00:15:29We are in Berlin, Germany. Kaiser brought up in Hamburg, Germany.
00:15:33Hometown favorite, and they would love to see Kaiser win the championship.
00:15:49And Knight trying to fight back against Ludwig Kaiser.
00:15:54And Knight trying to fight back against this proficient, precise striker in Ludwig Kaiser.
00:16:01Knight has got the guts and the grit.
00:16:04Been in this business for a very long time.
00:16:07Body has been through one hell of a beating at the hands and feet of Ludwig Kaiser.
00:16:13Knight worked in a lumber mill as he was learning to become a wrestler, Wade.
00:16:18Did everything he could to put money away to go to school and climb the ladder,
00:16:23and now here he is as the United States Champion.
00:16:26Can he retain tonight on SmackDown?
00:16:35Oh, what a chop!
00:16:37L.A. Knight trying to take the hometown crowd out of the game and has not been able to do it yet.
00:16:42Kaiser over the top rope and on the German announce table.
00:16:44Kaiser over the top rope and on the German announce table.
00:16:46And now L.A. Knight is going to dribble Kaiser like a basketball.
00:17:02And one for good measure.
00:17:04And now Knight's in control.
00:17:06Ludwig Kaiser getting the stuffing knocked out of him after being in complete control for about six minutes.
00:17:13And Kaiser, though, missed wildly.
00:17:15Knight with a neck breaker from behind.
00:17:18This is the kind of grit that took L.A. Knight to the United States Championship.
00:17:23May well be on the way to defending success.
00:17:31Elbow to Kaiser.
00:17:32Cover by Knight to retain.
00:17:34Kick out by Kaiser in two.
00:17:36He hit the nail on the head earlier, Wade.
00:17:38Can you imagine if Kaiser could win the gold here tonight?
00:17:41It'll give even more momentum to the World Championship defense of Guenther,
00:17:46his fellow Imperium member and country.
00:17:49Then tomorrow night, Guenther, even though he's from Austria,
00:17:52has sort of adopted Germany as his homeland.
00:17:55Trained here, developed as a top sportsman here,
00:18:01and don't the people of Germany love him for it?
00:18:03And Knight into the corner.
00:18:05And the knee to the side of the face of Kaiser.
00:18:08L.A. Knight got that much needed first championship retention
00:18:13out of the way last week.
00:18:15Inverted atomic drop, missed wildly the clothesline.
00:18:18Kaiser misses as well.
00:18:19Knight off the ropes, and he runs into the kick by Kaiser.
00:18:21Quickly to the cover to win the title.
00:18:23Puts the leg.
00:18:24Is it enough?
00:18:25Almost had him, two and a half.
00:18:27Rodney Kaiser showing all the frustrations,
00:18:30knowing how close he was to becoming a singles champion.
00:18:34Take another look at this athleticism and timing from the German.
00:18:39Almost scored in the W.
00:18:41Kaiser is such a great in-ring technician,
00:18:45which is beautiful to watch Kaiser work in the ring.
00:18:48Now the right and left exchange between these two men.
00:18:51Champion and challenger for the United States title.
00:19:00Down goes Kaiser.
00:19:03And Knight's got him where he wants him.
00:19:05And this audience feels it slipping away from the hometown boy, Ludwig Kaiser.
00:19:13Went for BFT.
00:19:14Kaiser rolls him off, grabs the tights, kick at two.
00:19:17Tried to steal one there.
00:19:22On his line.
00:19:23Ludwig Kaiser just refusing to die in this matchup.
00:19:29Kaiser with a kick.
00:19:30Champion's in trouble again.
00:19:31And every time Knight starts to build a little momentum,
00:19:33Kaiser is able to get right back in the matchup.
00:19:36That was a kick eerily reminiscent of Miroslav Kloser for Germany.
00:19:42Straight to the jaw of the megastar.
00:19:44Kaiser roll.
00:19:45For the win.
00:19:46Is it enough to win the title?
00:19:48Knight stays in it at two.
00:19:50Just milliseconds away.
00:19:51And that championship is getting closer and closer to the waist of Ludwig Kaiser.
00:19:57Kaiser is feeding off this capacity crowd in Berlin.
00:20:03Ludwig Kaiser at his rapacious best.
00:20:08Looking at Knight.
00:20:09Knight, though, from behind.
00:20:12Drives his knee to the back of the neck of Kaiser.
00:20:14And this is that championship caliber that LA Knight has shown he's got.
00:20:19Down goes Kaiser.
00:20:28BFT.
00:20:29One-force trauma.
00:20:30Knight covers and retains.
00:20:37Here is your winner, and still the United States champion, LA Knight.
00:20:47Incredible matchup here tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:20:50LA Knight retains much of the chagrin of the crowd here in Germany
00:20:56as their countryman, Ludwig Kaiser, came oh so close.
00:21:00Take another look at this.
00:21:01Just as Kaiser was going in, LA Knight was going in for the kill.
00:21:06Kaiser with that Kaiser roll.
00:21:08Followed up by LA Knight hitting that BFT.
00:21:11And when LA Knight connects with that, there is only one result.
00:21:15Successful defense in the first open championship defense by LA Knight.
00:21:23Well, wow.
00:21:24That's to be said, Cole.
00:21:25Ludwig Kaiser.
00:21:26That was his first singles opportunity for a championship here in WWE.
00:21:31I promise after a performance like that, it will not be his last.
00:21:34Cannot wait to call his matches when I move to Rome.
00:21:37That's on Monday night in Denver with Joe Tessitore.
00:21:39I'll be on Friday's with Graves starting next week.
00:21:42Well, everyone seems to be a WWE fan nowadays all over the world.
00:21:46Sellouts everywhere.
00:21:48How about in the Dallas Cowboys training camp earlier this week?
00:21:52All-pro linebacker, Micah Parsons, trying to do the RKO to his teammate,
00:21:58quarterback Ron Diggs.
00:22:00Didn't quite get all of that, though, did he?
00:22:02Might need a little more practice there.
00:22:04But, hey, here's a suggestion for you, Cole.
00:22:06How about we get Micah Parsons in a ring sometime?
00:22:09Maybe next time we're in Dallas.
00:22:10Well, we may see an RKO tomorrow night.
00:22:13And if we do, we may have a brand-new World Heavyweight Champion.
00:22:17Tomorrow night, Bash in Berlin.
00:22:19Randy Orton vs. Gunther.
00:22:27My name is Gunther.
00:22:33I am the Ring General.
00:22:39I am the King of the Ring.
00:22:44I am your World Heavyweight Champion.
00:22:56In this ring, I am above everybody.
00:23:02I am greatness personified.
00:23:06From this day forth, the legacy of this great sport
00:23:11and the World Heavyweight Championship belong to me.
00:23:23When I look at that title, I realize that I'm the only reason
00:23:27you're carrying the World Heavyweight Championship in the first place.
00:23:32Which man will be crowned the King of the Ring?
00:23:37Clearly, Orton's shoulder nowhere near on the mat.
00:23:43Did you really beat me at King of the Ring?
00:23:48I'm the only man in that locker room that can match you in this ring.
00:23:52You consider yourself a living legend, and that is perfect
00:23:56because I made a career out of killing legends.
00:24:01And at Bash in Berlin, I'm gonna walk out of your home country
00:24:05a 15-time World Heavyweight Champion.
00:24:15Randy, let's be honest.
00:24:17When it really, really matters, you always screw it up.
00:24:24Your grandfather was a screw-up.
00:24:29Your father was a screw-up.
00:24:33And you, Randy Orton, you are the biggest screw-up of them all.
00:24:41If those voices in your head tell you that you can beat me in Berlin,
00:24:46your voices are wrong.
00:24:50Absolutely nothing catches me out of the ring.
00:24:55I've heard that before, as a matter of fact.
00:24:59It doesn't need to be out of nowhere.
00:25:03I want you to see it coming.
00:25:08RKO!
00:25:09Gunther has never been put in his place, Bash in Berlin.
00:25:13That's exactly what I intend to do.
00:25:21You hit that RKO on me?
00:25:24It's never going to happen again.
00:25:29Ludwig Kaiser!
00:25:30I think you forgot who you were talking to.
00:25:35And I'm gonna leave you exposed for what you really are,
00:25:38that one tricky pony.
00:25:42It's gonna be a battle at Bash in Berlin
00:25:45for the World Heavyweight Championship!
00:25:51If the kickoff show from Berlin earlier today is any indication,
00:25:55this is going to be electric tomorrow.
00:25:59Gunther, defending the World Heavyweight Championship,
00:26:02his first title defense since winning at SummerSlam
00:26:05against the man who looks to win a 15th World Championship.
00:26:10Randy Orton, it's tomorrow.
00:26:12Bash in Berlin!
00:26:25The following is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
00:26:29Introducing first, the team of Apollo Crews

00:27:53You go over there and pick up a Michael Cole shirt, Wade?
00:27:55Yeah, and I've already burned it.
00:27:58It's gonna be nice and warm.
00:28:00Real nice.
00:28:02You know what I'm saying?
00:28:04You know what I'm saying?
00:28:06You know what I'm saying?
00:28:08Real nice.
00:28:17Greatness is my destiny.
00:28:30Strong, confident, dominating.
00:28:39You put anybody in the ring with me,
00:28:41and I will squash them.
00:28:55There are two types of people in this world.
00:28:57Those who fear Nia Jax,
00:28:59and those who learn to fear Nia Jax.
00:29:09I am your queen of the ring!
00:29:19I am the baddest human
00:29:23in all of WWE.
00:29:31I am the queen of this division.
00:29:34I'm gonna show the world
00:29:36I'm gonna show the world
00:29:38that I am the most dominant woman
00:29:40and become the next Women's Champion.
00:29:46WWE Universe bends the knee.
00:29:50There is only one Queen Nia Jax.
00:29:55No one is beating me.
00:29:58Period.
00:30:03However, tonight,
00:30:05Nia does not have the champion's advantage.
00:30:07No disqualification.
00:30:09No count-outs.
00:30:11The only win via pinfall or submission,
00:30:13and anything goes.
00:30:15Nechin vs. Jax in a street fight
00:30:17for the WWE Women's title.
00:30:24And tonight, Friday night,
00:30:25SmackDown on Fox is sponsored by Progressive Insurance.
00:30:28Save with your Bundle Auto home or motorcycle insurance.
00:30:36Legado del Fantasma.
00:30:38Escobar.
00:30:39Elektra.
00:30:40And of course, Los Garza.
00:30:42Angel on the left.
00:30:43Murto on the right.
00:30:45They're set for tag team action tonight.
00:30:47Wait, this is an important matchup
00:30:48for Legado del Fantasma.
00:30:50Here's the deal.
00:30:51Santos said to them a couple of weeks ago,
00:30:54you both need to know what's at stake.
00:30:58We've watched as others have been handed opportunities
00:31:00that belong to me, that belong to us.
00:31:03You need to be sick of it.
00:31:05You need to be sick of the disrespect.
00:31:07We are Legado del Fantasma.
00:31:09Fear our name.
00:31:11Escobar giving them their orders.
00:31:13Well, Santos Escobar last week lost to LA Knight
00:31:15for the United States Championship.
00:31:17Immediately, when he got to the back,
00:31:18Baron Corbin was waiting for him
00:31:20and mocked him for it.
00:31:22Once upon a time,
00:31:23nobody mocked Legado del Fantasma
00:31:25because they feared that something has changed.
00:31:28They need to get that fear back from the locker room,
00:31:30and it starts tonight.
00:31:31And that's what they're hoping to do tonight
00:31:32against Cruz and Corbin.
00:31:34Apollo Cruz, of course, 6'1", 240.
00:31:37He has all the tools, powerhouse, as you see here.
00:31:40He can also fly with the best of them.
00:31:42Tremendous vertical suplex delayed here by Cruz.
00:31:45And I'm with you.
00:31:46I really like this pairing of Corbin and Cruz.
00:31:49They feel rejuvenated.
00:31:50They feel like guys who are on the rise.
00:31:52But here's what you've got to remember.
00:31:53Cover by Cruz, hooks the leg, and a kickout.
00:31:56Since linking up as a tag team,
00:31:59Cruz and Corbin are 0-2.
00:32:01They simply haven't got the results yet.
00:32:03I asked them about it.
00:32:04They say it's about building chemistry.
00:32:06Get a little better every week.
00:32:08The results will come.
00:32:09They are not panicked.
00:32:10Well, and again, Wade, there's no doubt
00:32:11as the tag's made,
00:32:12and Angel now legal for Los Garza.
00:32:14There's no doubt Corbin is a great tag team competitor.
00:32:17He won the NXT tag titles with Broad Breaker.
00:32:20So he knows how to get it done.
00:32:21He knows how to develop chemistry.
00:32:22And to your point, it takes a while sometimes.
00:32:24Yeah, and I'll tell you this about
00:32:25Baron Corbin is a born winner,
00:32:27Golden Gloves champ champ here in WWE,
00:32:30NFL lineman.
00:32:31This guy has all the tools.
00:32:33And to link it with another guy
00:32:34that I admire greatly in Apollo,
00:32:36almost can't miss.
00:32:37When you want to talk about chemistry, though,
00:32:39talk about Berto and Angel.
00:32:41Los Garza, these two are cousins.
00:32:43They've wrestled together for over a decade
00:32:45since their days back in Mexico.
00:32:47And sometimes you just need a little bit
00:32:49of added motivation.
00:32:50They've been around each other a long time.
00:32:52And Santos Escobar reading them the riot act
00:32:55and glaring at them from ringside
00:32:57will certainly do that.
00:32:59Corbin has been dominating.
00:33:02And this is what Corbin needs to get back to.
00:33:04This is what we've seen from him in years past.
00:33:07Now the double team.
00:33:08And this is that chemistry.
00:33:09Yes.
00:33:10This is what we were talking about.
00:33:11This is why Los Garza are such an effective tag team.
00:33:14They're both third generation superstars.
00:33:17Running knee from Angel.
00:33:19Did you like it?
00:33:21Angel, the grandson of El Ninja.
00:33:26Cover now by Berto.
00:33:28And a kick out.
00:33:33Also a third generation luchador sent over the top rope
00:33:37by the very powerful Corbin.
00:33:40Expanding their play, but week by week,
00:33:42Corbin and Cruz, you never quite know
00:33:44what to expect from these two.
00:33:46Cruz!
00:33:47That makes them can't miss TV.
00:33:50Former United States champion and intercontinental champion
00:33:53in his own right.
00:33:55And now Corbin launches Cruz over the top rope.
00:33:58Down goes Los Garza.
00:34:00Escobar cannot be happy with the way things are going
00:34:04for Legado del Fantasma.
00:34:13And we are back on Friday night SmackDown 12,021 WWE fans
00:34:18in Berlin tonight at the Uber Arena.
00:34:21Oh!
00:34:22And a double team by Los Garza.
00:34:24Garza special.
00:34:25And here's the cover now.
00:34:26Hook of the leg by Berto.
00:34:28And a kick out by Apollo Cruz.
00:34:30A millisecond away from victory there.
00:34:32And Apollo Cruz showing his toughness,
00:34:34kicking out of that.
00:34:35That is what matches the rule.
00:34:36First time in over 27 years.
00:34:38Monday Night Raw was here in Germany.
00:34:40Only time we've done a televised event from this country.
00:34:43The one tonight, and of course tomorrow, Bash in Berlin.
00:34:46As Los Garza is bashing away at Apollo Cruz here.
00:34:51An important matchup for Legado del Fantasma.
00:34:55Cruz just collapses to the ring.
00:34:58In a big way.
00:34:59Urgently needs this tag.
00:35:00But it might not be coming, Baron Corbin.
00:35:03Angel now in the corner.
00:35:04Tag made.
00:35:05Here comes Berto.
00:35:06Completely isolated in the corner is Apollo Cruz.
00:35:10Struggling to find his way out.
00:35:12But right into the post.
00:35:13Shoulder first.
00:35:14Cruz needs to make a tag.
00:35:17I thought Berto needs a tag.
00:35:18Is he leaving?
00:35:20Corbin now comes in off the tag.
00:35:21I guess not.
00:35:22I guess he didn't make the tag.
00:35:23Dan Angler is a referee.
00:35:24So who knows what's going on with that guy.
00:35:26Big elbow.
00:35:27And Corbin now sends Berto into the ring.
00:35:31And now Corbin with a running knee.
00:35:34Massive frame of Baron Corbin just throwing opponents
00:35:38at his own body around.
00:35:40And a powerhouse 6'8", 285.
00:35:43Very few people can contend with this kind of offense.
00:35:47And Corbin now off the second rope.
00:35:49Down goes Berto, who I guess is the legal man.
00:35:54Face first.
00:35:55Good night.
00:35:56This could be it.
00:35:58Angel breaks things up.
00:36:00Panic all over the face of Electro Lopez at ringside.
00:36:03Fury on the face of Santos Escobar.
00:36:06Things slipping away for Legado del Fantasma.
00:36:09Legado del Fantasma.
00:36:11Great cross body by Cruz.
00:36:13German suplex.
00:36:14Release that angel.
00:36:16Berto runs into a forearm.
00:36:19Cruz and Corbin looking great here tonight.
00:36:22This is what they were talking about.
00:36:24That growing chemistry and confidence together.
00:36:26But right off, lost control.
00:36:29Berto with that springboard kick.
00:36:33Corbin sends him into the corner.
00:36:35Oh, did you hear that?
00:36:37Completely rocking the jaw of Baron Corbin.
00:36:41Now, oh, and a collision center of the ring.
00:36:45Everybody down.
00:36:47Standing ovation from the crowd here in Germany.
00:36:50Santos Escobar needs to rally his troops immediately.
00:36:58Right here in front of us now.
00:37:00Angel trying to get away from Baron Corbin.
00:37:02And Corbin now planting him on top of the German announce table.
00:37:08Electro Lopez now up on the apron.
00:37:10Distracting the official.
00:37:12Escobar driving Corbin into the steps.
00:37:15And there's the deep playbook of Legado del Fantasma.
00:37:19And a kick out by Apollo Cruz.
00:37:22He was distracted momentarily.
00:37:24But his partner, Baron Corbin, has been taken out.
00:37:26Driven into the steps.
00:37:28Everyone is down.
00:37:29Now is the time to capitalize for Apollo Cruz.
00:37:33And now Angel, as Cruz kicks him away.
00:37:36It allows Berto to get up to the second rope.
00:37:38Great arm drag.
00:37:39Take down.
00:37:40Tag made.
00:37:41Here's Angel.
00:37:42With all the distractions at ringside,
00:37:45it is completely up for grabs for Los Garza.
00:37:48Oh!
00:37:50And the cover now.
00:37:52They call that the MTY.
00:37:55Short for Monterey.
00:37:57For being born and raised.
00:37:59Los Garza!
00:38:03Ant-Man.
00:38:05Los Garza.
00:38:08Picks up a very important victory for Legado del Fantasma here tonight.
00:38:13Timing and punishment on the MTY.
00:38:17A volley to the jaw of Apollo Cruz.
00:38:20And no one is kicking out of that.
00:38:22A rather satisfied looking Santos Escobar.
00:38:25His men get the victory tonight.
00:38:28I was impressed, though, by Corbin and Cruz.
00:38:31They're going to be special.
00:38:36You know what's going to happen next week?
00:38:40The bloodline versus DIY and the street profits.
00:38:46And the four of you, you will acknowledge me.
00:38:53So that you understand what you're up against.
00:38:57The first day I took over the bloodline,
00:38:59I sacrificed my own brother, Jimmy.
00:39:08Then I took out the wise man, Paul Heyman.
00:39:18Then I took out Roman Reigns.
00:39:23Not only did I take out Roman Reigns, I took his will to follow.
00:39:27I took the rights to be called the tribal chief.
00:39:32I took ownership of this family.
00:39:35Now imagine, if I'd done this to my own family,
00:39:39imagine what the four of us are going to do to the four of you.
00:39:53Cody Rhodes.
00:39:55Kevin Owens.
00:39:57I don't give a damn which one of you wins.
00:40:00Because whoever is the champion after tomorrow,
00:40:04the tribal chief is coming for you.
00:40:11The tribal chief is coming for you.
00:40:29These two men know what the bloodline is all about.
00:40:32Solo has declared he wants the winner.
00:40:35Tomorrow night, Cody and Kevin Owens for the world title.
00:40:38But up next on Friday Night SmackDown,
00:40:40they go face to face.
00:41:11Starting September 13th.
00:41:15USA is the new home of Friday Night SmackDown.
00:41:27It all goes down on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:41:31Starts September 13th, 8, 7 central.
00:41:34Only on USA.
00:41:41Making big moves.
00:41:47Well, I'm so excited and honored and privileged to be back home.
00:41:50I consider SmackDown my home.
00:41:52Called that show more than anything else in WWE.
00:41:55Two weeks from tonight.
00:41:57Friday Night SmackDown moving to USA.
00:42:01Well, tonight Friday Night SmackDown is in the capital city of Germany.
00:42:06This is Berlin.
00:42:08First time in 27 years we've done a televised event in the country of Germany.
00:42:12Berlin, of course, in the northeastern part of the country.
00:42:15Right on the beautiful river here.
00:42:18Wade and I had some fun last night.
00:42:20A couple of local watering holes and had too many pilsters.
00:42:25Yes, you certainly did.
00:42:26You managed to hit every wall of the hotel lobby when we got back in there.
00:42:30Yeah, but you should learn to speak much quieter when you're in public.
00:42:36What can I say?
00:42:38Please welcome the general manager of Friday Night SmackDown, Nick Aldis.
00:42:49I tell you what, ladies and gentlemen, it feels so good to be here with you all tonight.
00:42:54Live in the beautiful Uber Arena in Berlin for SmackDown.
00:42:59Now, in 24 hours, superstars from both Raw and SmackDown will compete in matchups
00:43:08that have the potential to change the future of the WWE forever.
00:43:13As we present to you our latest premium live event, Bash in Berlin.
00:43:20Bash in Berlin is the culmination of what has been an unbelievably successful
00:43:25European tour for the WWE.
00:43:27Take a look.
00:43:29Then we made our way to Brussels, Belgium.
00:43:31Fans were ecstatic and on fire, including a chance to see veteran AJ Styles in the OC.
00:43:38Then we made our way to Brussels, Belgium.
00:43:40Fans were ecstatic and on fire, including a chance to see veteran AJ Styles in the OC.
00:43:50We would then move along into Oberhausen, Germany.
00:43:54Loud crowds cheering for hometown heroes like Kaiser,
00:43:57the Son of God, and the Godfather.
00:44:00We would then move along into Oberhausen, Germany.
00:44:05Loud crowds cheering for hometown heroes like Kaiserskutzer and Dragunov.
00:44:09And of course, Cody Rhodes was there as well, greeting the WWE fans.
00:44:16On to Stuttgart, Germany, where the Celtic warrior Seamus would make an appearance.
00:44:21Naomi would thrill the crowd there as well.
00:44:24And then on to Frankfurt, which featured a raucous crowd, making everyone welcome.
00:44:29What a tour this week in Europe.
00:44:32On behalf of SmackDown and
00:44:38the entire WWE,
00:44:42ich danke euch aus tiefstem Herzen.
00:44:47Thank you all so very, very much.
00:44:49Now let's get down to business.
00:44:53One of the most important matchups happening tomorrow night.
00:44:55Wait, what am I saying?
00:44:56I'm the SmackDown General Manager.
00:44:57The most important matchup happening tomorrow night is for
00:45:01the undisputed WWE Championship.
00:45:06So at this time, allow me to introduce to you the challenger.
00:45:10Please welcome Kevin Owens.
00:45:13Tremendous reception for
00:45:17Kevin Owens here tonight.
00:45:23And a big welcome to the SmackDown
00:45:29Champions, Kevin Owens.
00:45:34Tremendous reception for
00:45:40Kevin Owens here tonight in Berlin.
00:45:48And tonight's Friday Night SmackDown on Fox is sponsored by Progressive.
00:45:55I gotta say I owe Kevin Owens an apology.
00:45:58Tagging up with Cody Rhodes last week on SmackDown.
00:46:02I am, I think, the vast majority of the WWE Universe expected
00:46:07Kevin Owens to betray Cody, drop that hammer on him.
00:46:11It didn't happen.
00:46:12KO was good as gold.
00:46:13He was as good as his word.
00:46:15And perhaps Kevin Owens is a reformed character.
00:46:20It's been over seven years since Kevin Owens has held a singles
00:46:24championship in WWE.
00:46:27Eight years this week when he won the Universal title.
00:46:31But a long drought for KO.
00:46:33I had to read that stat twice.
00:46:35I couldn't believe it.
00:46:35KO, KO, KO, KO, KO, KO, KO, KO, KO, KO, KO, KO, KO, KO, KO, KO, KO, KO, KO.
00:46:43And now, ladies and gentlemen,
00:46:45please welcome the undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes.
00:46:50Wrestling has more than one royal family.
00:46:58Adrenaline in my soul, every thought out of control.
00:47:08Do it all to get them off my feet.
00:47:14Crowd is here about to go crazy.
00:47:20Do it all to get them off my feet.
00:47:25Crowd is here about to go.
00:47:28Wait for me to start the show.
00:47:31I'm the kind of life you want the most.
00:47:35I'm the kind of life you want the most.
00:47:40I'm the kind of life you want the most.
00:47:45I'm the kind of life you want the most.
00:47:49You took it all away.
00:47:51I gave it all away.
00:47:53You take my freedom.
00:47:55Can't change again.
00:47:57It seems like they're singing Cody Rhodes' entrance theme,
00:48:00Kingdom, all over the world.
00:48:03Last night, Arkansas Razorbacks, college football game.
00:48:09Big win for the Razorbacks, by the way.
00:48:11The marching band was actually playing Kingdom.
00:48:15And Cody Rhodes would respond to it via Twitter.
00:48:19Do it all to get them off my feet.
00:48:23Do it all to get them off my feet.
00:48:26Wait for me to start the show.
00:48:30I'm the kind of life you want the most.
00:48:35I'm the kind of life you want the most.
00:48:38The man who's held the undisputed WWE championship since WrestleMania.
00:48:44He insists on defending it whenever he can.
00:48:47And insisted that Kevin Owens be his opponent tomorrow night.
00:48:55The entire arena on their feet.
00:48:57The atmosphere electric for the biggest star in the game.
00:49:02The WWE Universal champ, Cody Rhodes.
00:49:06But that may end in just 24 hours.
00:49:11When he defends against KO at Bashing Bullet.
00:49:14You have to tell me what to do.
00:49:16It's time to try and change the game.
00:49:19Now it's right over my throat.
00:49:22And you can't hear my suffocation.
00:49:25No, no.
00:49:28I am the king and you're the crown.
00:49:31You must be the king.
00:49:33Ladies and gentlemen, best of luck to both of you tomorrow night.
00:49:48The floor is yours.
00:49:50So glad to be back on SmackDown with a competent GM.
00:49:58Oh, this is always in control.
00:50:03Cody, Cody, Cody!
00:50:05Cody, Cody, Cody!
00:50:07Cody, Cody, Cody!
00:50:09Cody, Cody, Cody!
00:50:11Cody, Cody, Cody!
00:50:13Cody, Cody, Cody!
00:50:15So, Cody.
00:50:19What do you want to talk about?
00:50:21You get it?
00:50:22Because you say that all the time.
00:50:26Decent Meisterschaft.
00:50:28What?
00:50:30This championship right here, the North Star in our sport and
00:50:35in sports entertainment alike.
00:50:37And the fact that you and I, friend, Kevin Owens, one-on-one Superstar
00:50:43versus Superstar sold out here in Berlin, Germany for
00:50:48the undisputed WWE Championship.
00:50:51here for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
00:50:53We're
00:51:21we can talk about that it's it's pretty huge but um there's something I'd like
00:51:30to talk about not sure if you want to though do you want to talk about the
00:51:35tour you guys just had this week more specifically do you want to talk about
00:51:38what happened to your knee during that tour
00:51:44no nothing happened to my knee my knee is fine knees good and in the spirit of
00:51:58a friendly conversation though let's let's talk about last week you and I
00:52:04defeating two of WWE's biggest future superstars Grayson Waller and Austin
00:52:09Theory that was great
00:52:19however what happened at the end is what leaves me pause you handed me this WWE
00:52:28championship but to a lot of people it looked like had I not turned right when
00:52:34I turn that you were gonna hit me right in the back with it
00:52:42and I am not accusing you but you've brought it up yourself Kevin with your
00:52:47track record I'm just asking look look okay you want to talk about this stuff
00:52:56man come on Cody are you kidding me the track record the history look okay I get
00:53:02it right but like I said last week that video Waller showed all those guys I
00:53:07whatever you want to call that I turned on or I stabbed in the back I told you
00:53:11they all pretty much deserved it except for Kofi, Kofi once again I'm so sorry
00:53:17buddy but everyone else had it coming but that's that doesn't matter you and I
00:53:24have never had that kind of relationship you and me have always been close since
00:53:29the moment we met and even before we met you know the relationship I have
00:53:33with your dad so how can you think I would ever ever do that to you why would
00:53:39I do that to you? why indeed Kevin I gosh we've never spoken about this now
00:53:46seems like as good a time as ever I don't know Kevin maybe you're a little
00:53:52angry with me 2015-2016 when I went out into the world I walked in a lot of
00:53:59rooms that you walked into I walked with a lot of people that you walked with and
00:54:03the whole change the whole revolution the whole renaissance that's happening
00:54:07in our industry I feel like Kevin Owens doesn't get enough credit and perhaps I
00:54:13get too much I'd be mad about it too
00:54:23that's that's very nice but I don't even know what to say to that like you you
00:54:40know why I I would never do that to you I don't need to hit you with a cheap
00:54:47shot you know why because of what I was trying to talk about earlier and that's
00:54:53your knee and what happened to it on this tour look man I know you're hurt I
00:54:59know you got hurt you know I know that because every night after the shows I
00:55:04get text messages from people backstage telling me hey Cody's limping real bad
00:55:08Cody's in the trainers room he's staying in there for an hour at a time I know
00:55:14you're hurt so if you're not coming into this match tomorrow night a hundred
00:55:18percent I don't think that's a good idea. Kevin let me stop you a hundred percent
00:55:24my knee what is all this is pure sabotage man are you just trying to do
00:55:29what you did three weeks ago when I asked you for this match in the first
00:55:33place you didn't want it then Kevin do you still think you don't deserve it? No
00:55:37you know what no it has nothing to do with that first of all if your knees
00:55:41fine how come you didn't take a knee like you always do during entrance
00:55:46earlier huh? And you want to know why I'm saying it's not a good idea to have
00:55:53this match if you're not a hundred percent let me tell you because yesterday
00:55:59yesterday marked eight years since the night I won the Universal Championship
00:56:07and you know I remember that night like it was yesterday and I remember what
00:56:13happened when I won I won the title I should have been on top of the world and
00:56:17instead what I got was people telling me you don't deserve to be the champion the
00:56:22only reason you won the title is because of Triple H and that tainted that reign
00:56:29forever to this day I'm still bitter so let me ask you this if you walk in
00:56:34tomorrow night not a hundred percent if you get into this match with only one
00:56:39good leg what's gonna happen when I beat you and I become champion? When when you beat
00:56:44me are you hearing yourself tainted victory when you beat me Kevin my knee
00:56:49is a hundred percent rock-solid prizefighter I am ready for you tomorrow
00:56:56and you're talking and it sounds like to everybody else that you're talking with
00:57:01confidence but I know what that is it's anger angry because you knew what it
00:57:07meant for me coming back to this company it meant that I was going to blaze a
00:57:11path that I was going to leave people in the rearview mirror my friends included
00:57:16I couldn't take everybody with me you knew Kevin WrestleMania 38 when I came
00:57:21back the biggest night of your career you vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin and the
00:57:26next day you had to share the spotlight with me I'd be angry too Kevin but let
00:57:32me tell you something I love you dude I absolutely do I don't have many friends
00:57:42in this business I consider you one of them somebody stood across from the ring
00:57:47and asked me the same thing I'm about to ask you because tomorrow at Bash in
00:57:52Berlin Kevin I am going to defeat you nothing will be tainted about it and
00:57:57when it's over Kevin will we still be friends
00:58:22remember what happened the last time somebody tried to have a friendship
00:58:35ceremony with that man Kevin Owens interesting to see you or hear what
00:58:41Owens had whispered into the ear of Cody Rhodes but tomorrow night they meet for
00:58:45the World Championship of Bash in Berlin it's so frustrating we are on a wall and
00:59:00then it just falls apart I don't understand these two losers no
00:59:05poisoning in you guys should just break up in fact Theory was telling me you
00:59:09ain't even half the tag team A-Town down here you running your mouth huh you say
00:59:14that you want to say it say it to my face Theory yeah I said that you
00:59:21understand what I would do to you you understand I would beat the brakes off

01:03:49Carmelo Hayes
01:03:54match number four between these two men
01:03:57last week or a couple of weeks ago
01:03:59Carmelo finally got into the win column
01:04:01yeah this was after Andrade picked up the first two victories
01:04:04but it was a quick one from Carmelo who evolves every time he gets in that ring
01:04:09however after the match the celebrations from Carmelo Hayes
01:04:14were a little too in your face
01:04:16for Andrade who got a little fed up with Melo's antics
01:04:19snap a brawl ensued and now there is still some lingering ill sentiment
01:04:25between these two superstars
01:04:27so what's the problem between these two guys Wayne?
01:04:30well there was no problem until Carmelo lost two matches
01:04:33oh and they wasted little time
01:04:34bell rings were underway
01:04:36to accept any form of defeat
01:04:38I'll tell you this about Carmelo Hayes
01:04:40he will not stop until he gets ultimate victory over any opponent
01:04:46these two men have been lighting it up here on Friday night
01:04:48just like that
01:04:49lock, screw, punch
01:04:51yeah these two as much as they dislike one another
01:04:54they completely pull the best out of each other
01:04:57and both men every single time they've competed
01:05:00have had to raise their game
01:05:02pull out new moves
01:05:03pull out new tactics
01:05:04just to try and best the other
01:05:06yeah Andrade 5'9", 210 pounds
01:05:09Carmelo Hayes
01:05:10springboard clothesline
01:05:12Carmelo goes 5'10", 210
01:05:15from Boston, Massachusetts
01:05:17going up to the top rope
01:05:18Andrade stops him there
01:05:19the more matches these guys have
01:05:20the more familiar they are with each other
01:05:22yeah that's what's so amazing
01:05:23you love the athleticism of these two
01:05:25but it's a chess game
01:05:26both trying to outdo each other's moves
01:05:28oh my goodness
01:05:30oh no
01:05:31somebody better check on Melo
01:05:34he may need a stretcher
01:05:35what was that?
01:05:43sit in so no one cools cold
01:05:46be quiet so I can do this
01:05:47ready?
01:05:48everybody around the world is singing
01:05:51Cody Rhodes' theme song Kingdom
01:05:54in fact at the Arkansas Razorbacks
01:05:57college football game last night
01:05:59the marching band was actually playing
01:06:02the theme song Kingdom
01:06:03Cody Rhodes would go to X to appreciate it
01:06:13and we're back live on Friday Night Smackdown
01:06:15Carmelo Hayes and Andrade
01:06:18match number four
01:06:19Andrade holds a 2-1 match edge
01:06:21but Carmelo Hayes somehow
01:06:23recuperated after that nasty spill
01:06:25before the commercial break
01:06:27it's been a really volatile matchup
01:06:29swinging back and forth between these
01:06:31and just when Melo looked like he was finally in control
01:06:34immediately bouncing back is Andrade
01:06:37so well matched are these two
01:06:38Andrade, third generation superstar
01:06:42Granddad
01:06:43El Morro is dad
01:06:45Brillante
01:06:46and oh look at this
01:06:51both men down and Carmelo Hayes now
01:06:53favoring his knee
01:06:54kept up by Andrade
01:06:56that is the last thing you want against a mover
01:06:59as good as Andrade
01:07:01normally Melo is a match for him
01:07:03but with one bad wheel
01:07:04that simply can't be the case
01:07:06and speaking of knees
01:07:07after the show tonight Wade
01:07:08I want to head back to the trainers room
01:07:09see if we can get any confirmation
01:07:10on Cody Rhodes knee problem
01:07:12heading into tomorrow night
01:07:13Kevin Owens
01:07:14brought it up
01:07:15great move by Andrade
01:07:16cover now
01:07:17hook to the leg
01:07:18kick out at two
01:07:19double moonsault there
01:07:20and you have to think
01:07:21with Melo's mind on his knee
01:07:22perhaps not fully in the matchup
01:07:24at this point
01:07:25I've seen him avoid that move
01:07:27a couple of times previously
01:07:28Melo ain't 100%
01:07:30this is desperation times
01:07:32for Carmelo Hayes
01:07:34well Andrade
01:07:35a former NXT champion
01:07:36United States champion as well
01:07:39proven pedigree
01:07:40at the top of the card
01:07:41in WWE
01:07:42does Andrade
01:07:45six and one
01:07:46since returning to WWE
01:07:48that one blemish
01:07:50oh there it is
01:07:51pin
01:07:52the first
01:07:5348
01:07:54connects
01:07:55for Carmelo Hayes
01:07:57who's suddenly back in control
01:07:58yeah but he's still hurting
01:08:00from that knee issue
01:08:01wasn't able to pounce
01:08:02into a pin
01:08:04and Melo now
01:08:05with a meteora
01:08:06into the corner
01:08:07cover now
01:08:08on Andrade
01:08:09for the win
01:08:10kick out by Andrade
01:08:13watch this
01:08:14first 48
01:08:18and again Melo
01:08:20really favoring the right knee
01:08:22yeah and this is the problem
01:08:23for Melo
01:08:24this is usually the point
01:08:25he moves up to fifth gear
01:08:27turns it up on his opponent
01:08:28and there's no way
01:08:29to hide from that
01:08:30he simply cannot move
01:08:31as quickly as he normally does
01:08:33so much of his offense
01:08:34is based on his agility
01:08:36and his athleticism
01:08:37so smooth in the ring
01:08:39bell to bell
01:08:40as good as I have ever seen
01:08:41at this level
01:08:42is Melo
01:08:43and he keeps getting better
01:08:44every single week
01:08:45North American champion
01:08:46at NXT
01:08:47two time NXT champ as well
01:08:49and now
01:08:50Andrade looking for
01:08:51three amigos
01:08:52nope
01:08:53Carmelo Hayes
01:08:55standing switch
01:08:56Andrade drives him
01:08:57to the corner
01:08:58roll through
01:08:59Andrade
01:09:00powering Hayes up
01:09:01and Andrade
01:09:02showing off his power there
01:09:03cover
01:09:04stacks him up
01:09:05and a kick out at two
01:09:06poorly maintained turnbuckle
01:09:08in the corner
01:09:09there got ripped off
01:09:10halfway through that move
01:09:11yeah the uh
01:09:12steel turnbuckle
01:09:14exposed
01:09:15the pad
01:09:17flying somewhere
01:09:18I think I saw referee
01:09:19Dan Engler
01:09:20tying that on earlier tonight
01:09:21that's the problem
01:09:22once again
01:09:23but take another look
01:09:24at this
01:09:25back
01:09:26just a one handed
01:09:27powerbomb
01:09:28for an incredibly
01:09:29awkward position
01:09:30shows
01:09:31the power game
01:09:32of Andrade
01:09:33is neck and neck
01:09:34with his lucha game
01:09:40twelve thousand
01:09:41twenty one
01:09:42in Berlin tonight
01:09:43for Smackdown
01:09:45oh and Andrade
01:09:46went to the corner
01:09:47and he stopped
01:09:48because the
01:09:49buckle's exposed
01:09:50and that distraction
01:09:51allowed Carmelo
01:09:52to hit the super kick
01:09:53for the win
01:09:54and a kick out at two
01:09:55I don't think Andrade
01:09:56had any clue
01:09:57that inadvertently
01:09:58got ripped off
01:09:59a little early
01:10:00in the matchup
01:10:01and this is where
01:10:02he noticed
01:10:03that Andrade
01:10:04was looking for
01:10:05Melo to pounce
01:10:06and Carmelo
01:10:07Hayes
01:10:08again favoring
01:10:09his knee
01:10:10Andrade
01:10:11beat him to the
01:10:12punch there

01:10:41battle these two
01:10:42so evenly matched
01:10:43so well matched
01:10:44but you have a little
01:10:45issue with a knee
01:10:46or a neck
01:10:47you lose two percent
01:10:48of your game
01:10:49that could be the
01:10:50difference maker
01:10:51this could be the
01:10:52difference maker
01:10:53Carmelo
01:10:54Andrade
01:10:55high above the ring
01:10:57Andrade
01:10:58into the cover
01:10:59able to barely
01:11:00hook the leg

01:11:07the agility
01:11:08power
01:11:09and timing
01:11:10of Andrade
01:11:11took so much
01:11:12out of himself
01:11:13it took three
01:11:14or four seconds
01:11:15to make the pin
01:11:16that was the
01:11:17difference maker
01:11:18that's what's
01:11:19interesting about
01:11:20Andrade
01:11:21he's deceptively
01:11:22strong
01:11:23he's got a
01:11:24we know about his
01:11:25quickness

01:21:59Let's be clear here, Gold, Street Fights are Meechin territory.
01:22:04She spent her whole career as a massive fan of the art of street fighting.
01:22:08Grew up a big fan of the likes of Tommy Dreamer in ECW.
01:22:13And she sees this as her pathway to her first gold in WWE.
01:22:18What a night it could be for Meechin.
01:22:21Interesting styles Meechin will use in the ring.
01:22:25Lucha style, Japanese strong style.
01:22:27And again, with a kendo stick to start things off in this street fight.
01:22:30Interesting, Nia Jax did not come to the ring armed with any weapons.
01:22:33Cuz I guess she figures she is a weapon.
01:22:36Well, here's the thing about Nia Jax.
01:22:38Normally it takes a group of women to take her down.
01:22:43Biggest opportunity of Meechin's career.
01:22:47A former TNA Impact Knockout Champion as she drives
01:22:52Nia Jax face first into the steel post.
01:22:56This is for the WWE Women's Title.
01:23:00Not an interest in as well, Wade.
01:23:01Not that I wanna start any conspiracy theories, that's not my style.
01:23:06But, and Nia Jax taken down and she hit hard.
01:23:10Man, what an ugly landing.
01:23:11Did you hear that?
01:23:12Cover by Meechin.
01:23:13And Nia able to kick out.
01:23:14Referee Jessica Carr gonna make sure she's not hurt.
01:23:16Yeah, that was a potential knockout, a potential stinger.
01:23:20Could have been very nasty.
01:23:22Right now, Nia Jax is in a world of hurt, and it's about to get even worse.
01:23:27The point I was making, I was sort of surprised, because it's street fight rules,
01:23:30that Nia didn't bring her buddy.
01:23:32There's money in the bank.
01:23:32Tiffany's strapped now to the ring.
01:23:35Does she trust her buddy with that briefcase around?
01:23:38Does she really want the money in the bank?
01:23:41Did you see what Tiffany posted on X?
01:23:44She had a picture of herself as the tables come out now.
01:23:47And now Nia Jax with a kendo stick to Meechin.
01:23:50Anyway, unloading on the number one contender for the title.
01:23:57Nia Jax, friend Tiffany, put on X, a picture of herself and Nia's title.
01:24:03And then she said, I'm literally just admiring it if all you weirdos
01:24:07stop overanalyzing things.
01:24:08Yeah, I think you are overanalyzing everything, Cole.
01:24:12Tiffany has got a front row seat most weeks to see how a champion
01:24:16operates in the form of Nia Jax.
01:24:18Why blow that?
01:24:19Time in the future to be champ is fair enough.
01:24:23But right now it's time for pain, and it's all about Meechin.
01:24:26Can she win gold tonight?
01:24:28Bang!
01:24:33Meechin unloading on the WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax with a kendo stick.
01:24:38This is a street fight for the title, and Nia Jax about decapitated Meechin.
01:24:44Meechin somehow managed to navigate her way through that.
01:24:47But for how much longer?
01:24:49I can't believe Meechin's still standing and she won't be after that.
01:24:52Little Yurinagi on the apron.
01:24:54Nia Jax hit her with a backhand.
01:24:56I thought about knocked her block off, and then followed it up with that.
01:25:00And Nia's ticked off now.
01:25:02Here's the thing in a match like that.
01:25:04This, it kind of negates the power advantage that the biggest superstar has.
01:25:08I don't care how big and strong you are, you get hit with a kendo stick or
01:25:12a chair, it hurts all the same.
01:25:14But even so, it's Nia Jax who seems at this point in complete control once again.
01:25:20Tells you just how good Nia Jax has been this year.
01:25:24And Nia Jax, and a fire extinguisher for Meechin and Jax.
01:25:28Completely legal under street fight rules.
01:25:31And Meechin's got an opportunity now.
01:25:32The champion's down.
01:25:34Might be about to extinguish the championship reign.
01:25:37Meechin top rope missile dropkick, Nia's down.
01:25:40Meechin's got a pitter submitter though.
01:25:43A lot of problems all around the ring if you're Nia Jax right now.
01:25:47Nothing looks good, and there's nowhere to hide.
01:25:50And Meechin, tornado DDT,
01:25:55but slammed onto the garbage can by the champ.
01:26:01Desperation, Nia Jax managing to pull out perhaps one last power move to save herself.
01:26:07I'm not sure Nia can even see after getting that fire extinguisher fluid into
01:26:11her eyes.
01:26:12Meechin playing the cymbals.
01:26:16You like what I did there?
01:26:20Nope, I like very little of what you do, but I'm enjoying this match.
01:26:24She went for the tornado DDT again.
01:26:26Just not able, Nia's just so big, but now able to connect.
01:26:30Dragging her center of the ring, cover.
01:26:35The championship, and a kick out by Nia.
01:26:39Just goes to show you how much good fortune goes in to winning and
01:26:44losing a championship match.
01:26:46That landing by Nia Jax, she had no idea where she was.
01:26:49Had to be dragged away from the ropes in order to make the pin.
01:26:53And that was enough time for Jax to recover.
01:26:55Kick out, but she's still lying prone in the ring.
01:26:57Yeah, when's the last time you've seen Nia Jax in that predicament,
01:27:00in that situation?
01:27:02Down and out.
01:27:03This is why you do not put yourself in a street fight against a specialist
01:27:08like Meechan, who has been doing this her whole career.
01:27:12Yeah, very impressed with Meechan as she looks to set up the table.
01:27:15The champion Nia Jax is still down, trying to recover.
01:27:19She was dropped on her head earlier and had fire extinguishers in her eyes and
01:27:24dropped face first onto a garbage can off a DDT.
01:27:28Meechan doing everything she can.
01:27:30Still not happy with the weaponry out here, looking for something a little extra.
01:27:35But the problem is, is I think she should be on the attack weight.
01:27:39Taking a little bit too much time here, allowing Nia to try to get back to her feet.
01:27:42She knows how big and tough Nia Jax is.
01:27:44You've got to take an especially large chunk out of the champ if you're gonna
01:27:49have any chance to defeat her.
01:27:51What method of torture is Meechan planning?
01:27:54But you're right, Cole, it's now backfired.
01:27:56Again, and that was the point.
01:27:57I understand trying to put more weapons into the ring to help your cause.
01:28:01But Nia was down and out.
01:28:02Meechan had an opening.
01:28:03She didn't take advantage, and now Nia Jax is back on the attack.
01:28:08Meechan's mentality is that she has a higher pain threshold than anyone,
01:28:13including the champ.
01:28:15That might have been a bit too cocky.
01:28:17Wait a minute, Meechan off the table.
01:28:19Nia was gonna go for the Annihilator, I believe.
01:28:21And Meechan, now there is no way, there is absolutely no way.
01:28:24Through the table, Meechan with an opportunity.
01:28:27Nia through the table.
01:28:28Can Meechan capitalize?
01:28:32Whoa, what?
01:28:37My God, there's money in the bank.
01:28:40Tiffany's strapped, making a feline to the ring with the contract at hand.
01:28:45No, she's out here to help Nia Jax, as I said earlier.
01:28:49Well, no disqualification, so perfectly legal.
01:28:53Wait, wait, I think Tiffany just realized Nia's down and out.
01:28:57I think Tiffany, I think she just got caught red-handed.
01:29:01I think she was gonna cash in.
01:29:03Nia Jax said, what the hell are you doing?
01:29:04And now, back on the attack on Meechan.
01:29:06There was no cashing, there was no attempt at cashing.
01:29:09And now Nia placed into the cover, Meechan gets the shoulder up.
01:29:12Stopped stalling the popcorn.
01:29:14Tiffany's strapped and came down to help Nia Jax.
01:29:17And look, has completely turned this match on her head.
01:29:20Wait a minute, going for the prettiest moonsault ever.
01:29:25And LaCouche back for the first time since SummerSlam.
01:29:28Bayley's here.
01:29:30Well, Meechan is up, Bayley's back for months now.
01:29:33It's time for a little payback.
01:29:34Tiffany's distraction cost Bayley the championship at SummerSlam.
01:29:39And Bayley hasn't forgotten.
01:29:41And Bayley now is back, rolling with this Money in the Bank,
01:29:45taking the fight to Stratton.
01:29:47Michael Cole returns to Stratton now, so does his best friend, Bayley.
01:29:51And meanwhile, the championship match continues.
01:29:54Meechan, roll up for the title.
01:29:57Nia Jax kicks out at two.
01:29:59Drop the hammer now, Meechan, it's now or never.
01:30:03Meechan taking the fight to Jax.
01:30:06Nia though slides right through the table.
01:30:11Just when Meechan got a head of steam, just when she had all of the momentum.
01:30:17It's one move from Jax.
01:30:20That big, that strong, and it might be about to be squash in time, Cole.
01:30:25No, thanks for coming, Meechan.
01:30:32Nia Jax with the Annihilator.
01:30:35Five, two, three.
01:30:39My goodness.
01:30:41Here is your winner and
01:30:45still the WWE Women's Champion, Nia Jax.
01:30:52Incredible performance by Meechan.
01:30:56Nia Jax has just ticked off.
01:30:59And still now assaulting Meechan,
01:31:01who's caught in that collapsed and destroyed garbage can.
01:31:05Well, that's the message from Nia Jax.
01:31:07I'll fight you at your game and I'll beat you.
01:31:09But Wade, you gotta wonder, is she upset because of the fight Meechan brought?
01:31:13Or is she upset because Tiffany Stratton almost cashed in Money in the Bank on her?
01:31:18She didn't almost cash it in.
01:31:19There was no cashing, there was no attempting cashing.
01:31:21It was Tiffany helping Nia Jax to victory.
01:31:24Nia Jax is still the champ.
01:31:26Bayley's back.
01:31:28Thanks for joining us tonight from Berlin.
