00:00:01Yes, sir. We promised you a great main event here tonight.
00:00:06WrestleMania!
00:00:07Walker Mania is running wild!
00:00:11You are fired!
00:00:14It's not over!
00:00:15The world is watching!
00:00:21At WWE Breaking Point, The Undertaker returned.
00:00:26Hell's Gate and Pop Taps!
00:00:29And won the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:00:32History has been made!
00:00:35But what happened next?
00:00:37The Undertaker's Hell's Gate submission hold was banned.
00:00:41Therefore, this submission match will continue.
00:00:45It was the most controversial ending in the history of the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:00:51What the? CM Punk retains the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:00:55The Undertaker did not submit.
00:01:00Find out what happens next on Friday Night Smackdown.
00:01:04Tonight.
00:01:25You guys, please, stay close to me.
00:01:47Alright, we're ready.
00:01:49Look around.
00:01:55Alright, let's go.
00:02:25You always stand your ground.
00:02:29And you turn your back.
00:02:33On what you're going to do.
00:02:41Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
00:02:44The Animal Bautista!
00:02:55He's back!
00:02:56The Animal's back!
00:02:57On Friday Night Smackdown!
00:03:25One of the most intimidating physical specimens that WWE has ever seen.
00:03:35The monstrous five-time World Heavyweight Champion, Batista, is here on Friday Night.
00:03:45Batista said goodbye to Monday Night Raw this past Monday night.
00:03:49And right now he's saying hello to Friday Night Smackdown.
00:03:54And what a reception here by the WWE Universe.
00:04:03Batista had a choice, JR. Batista wanted to be here on Smackdown.
00:04:08I think Batista's always felt more comfortable on Friday Night Smackdown.
00:04:23I know something you don't know.
00:04:28Well, Batista, after being confronted by the former WWE Champion, Randy Orton,
00:04:35made one point crystal clear.
00:04:39I'm here to announce that I'm going to Smackdown.
00:04:43I talked to our guest host, and she guaranteed me one more match on Raw tonight.
00:04:49And it's no holds barred.
00:04:53And in that match, Batista made it perfectly clear.
00:04:56The Batista Bomb is just as ferocious and dominating as it has always been.
00:05:02Batista looked more intimidating, more dominating, than perhaps we have ever seen him.
00:05:09So motivated.
00:05:12What a heartfelt event.
00:05:16What a heartfelt, emotional, standing ovation here tonight for Batista.
00:05:25Smackdown just got a lot better.
00:05:27Batista! Batista! Batista!
00:05:43Well...
00:05:44Batista! Batista! Batista!
00:05:53As you know, recently, my contract expired with Raw.
00:06:00And for the first time in my career, I got to choose where I wanted to be.
00:06:12No drafts.
00:06:16No trades.
00:06:18My choice.
00:06:19And I chose to be right here on Smackdown.
00:06:25The Blue Team.
00:06:27The A-Show.
00:06:29That's right, I said it.
00:06:33And it feels good to be back, and I cannot wait to get started.
00:06:49Batista! Batista! Batista! Batista!
00:07:06Chris Jericho knows how to pick the great moments, doesn't he?
00:07:09Batista! Batista! Batista! Batista!
00:07:32Batista! Batista! Batista!
00:07:38That was so sweet, Batista. How heartwarming.
00:07:43You're back on Smackdown. Allow me to welcome you back on the show. Congratulations.
00:07:52Yeah.
00:07:54Babies are smiling and the birds are chirping. The sky is clear because Batista is back.
00:08:02You like the fact Batista's back, huh?
00:08:11Let me tell you what I think about you being back, Batista. I think that you make me sick.
00:08:23You're just like that other injury-prone loser, Edge.
00:08:32Pandering to these pathetic parasites.
00:08:41Begging for cheers from all of these hypocrites.
00:08:48Hoping for some kind of an award because you got injured and then you came back.
00:08:53And let me get something else through your Neanderthal thick skull.
00:09:02No matter what you may think, I am the true face of Smackdown and everybody knows it.
00:09:11You see, a lot has changed since you've been gone. Because you've been gone a long time.
00:09:23And like I said, I am the true face of Smackdown.
00:09:32And like I said, I am now the man on this show.
00:09:48What I was always told is to be the man, you gotta beat the man.
00:10:02And I know a lot has changed.
00:10:07And we're gonna have a chance to catch up.
00:10:10Because tonight, you've got a match.
00:10:17Against me.
00:10:21A spinebuster from Batista right out of the gate.
00:10:26Well, the quote-unquote face of Friday Night Smackdown just got drilled.
00:10:35And is there more to come tonight for Chris Jericho?
00:10:43Batista is back for the blue team, ladies and gentlemen.
00:10:48And what a huge blue chip signing it is.
00:10:51They don't get much bigger than Batista.
00:10:54Because tonight, you've got a match.
00:11:02Against me.
00:11:05I mean a few words and a whole lot of action.
00:11:11Look at this impact.
00:11:16Jericho may have just gotten spine busted right out of his Armani suit.
00:11:20Well, Jericho came out here, obviously, to steal Batista's spotlight.
00:11:25And Batista's homecoming.
00:11:28But instead, Jericho got put in his place.
00:11:32Well, I think Jericho said it best when he said,
00:11:35Listen, I'm the face of Smackdown.
00:11:37Tonight, I guess we're really gonna find out who represents this brand better.
00:11:41Batista or Jericho.
00:11:43And let me tell you something.
00:11:45Jericho does not be right.
00:11:47Where were you?
00:11:49Were you on your phone?
00:11:51Where were you?
00:11:53What are you talking about?
00:11:55I'm right where you told me to be.
00:11:57Did you see what just happened to me out there?
00:11:59Don't you remember?
00:12:01You said you wanted to do this by yourself.
00:12:03Yeah, I said I was gonna do this by myself.
00:12:05You know what?
00:12:07I am gonna do this by myself.
00:12:09We're the unified tag team champions.
00:12:11But don't forget, I was the first undisputed champion.
00:12:13And more importantly, the last time I faced Batista,
00:12:15I beat him for the world title.
00:12:17I'm gonna face him by myself tonight.
00:12:19You wait back here, or you wanna wait,
00:12:21and I'm gonna show you why I'm the best in the world at what I do.
00:12:24Do you understand, partner?
00:12:26I got you. Relax.
00:12:28Yeah, relax.
00:12:30Well, ladies and gentlemen,
00:12:32those of you that saw Breaking Point know
00:12:34that the World Heavyweight Championship match
00:12:36was one of the most confusing and controversial of all time.
00:12:38Interview with Scott Armstrong next.
00:12:40The referee that made that decision, JR.
00:12:42Well, this whole situation reeks of a conspiracy.
00:12:44What was going through the referee's mind?
00:12:46We'll hear from him tonight.
00:12:52Ladies and gentlemen,
00:12:54we're back here on Friday Night SmackDown,
00:12:56and joining us to our right is the number one contender
00:12:58for the Intercontinental Championship, Dolph Ziggler.
00:13:00Dolph, thanks for joining us.
00:13:02You're welcome for joining me.
00:13:15So this is it.
00:13:17Welcome, approaching the ring first,
00:13:19from Los Angeles, California.
00:13:21Weighing 224 pounds,
00:13:23he is the Intercontinental Champion,
00:13:26John Morrison!
00:13:28Well, there's the man
00:13:30that you would face if he held himself
00:13:32extravaganza for the Intercontinental title.
00:13:39There he is, John Morrison,
00:13:41the current reigning Intercontinental Champion,
00:13:42will put his title on the line
00:13:44against you, Dolph Ziggler.
00:13:46What are your thoughts as you prepare
00:13:48for the biggest match of your life?
00:13:50He's a heck of an athlete.
00:13:52He deserves to be champion,
00:13:54but the rightful owner of that title is Dolph Ziggler,
00:13:56and we're going to find that out
00:13:58at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.
00:14:05And his opponent,
00:14:07weighing 293 pounds,
00:14:09Mike Knox!
00:14:10Well, first things first for John Morrison,
00:14:12he has to square off against Mike Knox.
00:14:14Yes, he's mountainous,
00:14:16but let's find out what is on
00:14:18the maniacal mind of Mike Knox.
00:14:21Restless leg syndrome
00:14:23affects nearly 25 million people
00:14:25in our country.
00:14:27It's a neurological disorder
00:14:29where the victim's legs develop
00:14:31a crawling, aching sensation,
00:14:33which can only be relieved
00:14:35by the rapid movement
00:14:37of the lower extremities.
00:14:40John Morrison,
00:14:42they haven't found a cure yet.
00:14:52We just heard from a somewhat
00:14:54of a disturbed kinesiologist.
00:14:57Morrison's going to have to get through
00:14:59Mike Knox here just to face me
00:15:01at Hell in a Cell,
00:15:03and I don't see how he can.
00:15:05I would think that Mike Knox
00:15:07would provide a magnificent challenge
00:15:08in a ground game attack.
00:15:10Knox is going to pummel Morrison.
00:15:12Dolph, congratulations
00:15:14on your victory last night
00:15:16on WWE Superstars over Finlay.
00:15:18It was well deserved.
00:15:20Anytime you step in the ring
00:15:22with a fighting Irishman,
00:15:24you feel it a couple days afterwards.
00:15:26Right now, John Morrison
00:15:28has his hands more than full
00:15:30against Mike Knox.
00:15:32Knox around three bills,
00:15:346'5", 6'6", big size,
00:15:36and strength advantage
00:15:38that has been challenged
00:15:40on many occasions,
00:15:42but never questioned.
00:15:44Knox will question anyone's resolve.
00:15:46Dolph, you've had a couple
00:15:48of opportunities at the
00:15:50Intercontinental Championship.
00:15:52You've come up just short.
00:15:54What makes you think you're going
00:15:56to be able to get the job done
00:15:58against Morrison?
00:16:00I think I've learned from
00:16:02the very few mistakes I've ever
00:16:04made in my life,
00:16:06and I'm ready to take that title
00:16:08to John Morrison.
00:16:10Staggers, Mike Knox.
00:16:12I would have moved out of the way of that.
00:16:14Are you a little bit,
00:16:16after seeing it back,
00:16:18are you a little bit embarrassed
00:16:20at the disrespect you showed
00:16:22Pat Patterson this past Sunday
00:16:24at Brooking Point in his hometown?
00:16:26A lot of...
00:16:28Oh!
00:16:30Morrison from the ring apron
00:16:32doing something that only
00:16:34John Morrison can do,
00:16:36the Intercontinental Champion
00:16:38John Morrison squaring off
00:16:40against Mike Knox,
00:16:42and joining us here at commentary,
00:16:44the number one contender
00:16:46for the Intercontinental Championship,
00:16:48Dolph Ziggler.
00:16:50Let's take a look at what happened
00:16:52during the commercial break,
00:16:54and Knox imposing his strength,
00:16:56his will,
00:16:58and the calculated use of a ring post
00:17:00to the spine of the
00:17:02Intercontinental Champion.
00:17:04Looks like Morrison is going to have
00:17:06a bad back, perhaps,
00:17:08but I ask you before we're at the break
00:17:10about your conduct
00:17:12with Pat Patterson
00:17:14in Montreal on Sunday.
00:17:16Do you have any second thoughts
00:17:18about what you said to that man?
00:17:20Oh! Meantime, Knox nearly kicked
00:17:22John Morrison's head off,
00:17:24going for the cover.
00:17:26Before I was so rudely interrupted
00:17:28by Todd Grisham,
00:17:30he's a Hall of Famer, so what?
00:17:32He had his day, he had a run.
00:17:34It wasn't that good of a run,
00:17:36but it was a run,
00:17:38so it was a run.
00:17:40Well, right here,
00:17:42pretty good start for Mike Knox.
00:17:44Another near fall by Knox,
00:17:46who's really been pressing the issue here.
00:17:48We're seeing Knox get better and better
00:17:50each and every week.
00:17:52And, Dolph, we've heard so many
00:17:54in the WWE Universe
00:17:56who have blogged and talked about
00:17:58how impressed they are
00:18:00with the outrageous skills
00:18:02that John Morrison brings.
00:18:04Are you at least a little bit impressed
00:18:06by what you've seen
00:18:08from John Morrison?
00:18:10I've seen some incredible things
00:18:12in the ring, and you know what?
00:18:14He is almost as good as I am.
00:18:16That's really impressive.
00:18:18Speaking of impressive,
00:18:20right now Mike Knox imposing his will.
00:18:22When I beat him for the title,
00:18:24I'm going to look that much better.
00:18:26It all works out for everyone, I think.
00:18:28Knox like a big Kodiak bear,
00:18:30just manhandling
00:18:32the Intercontinental Champion.
00:18:34And around the world,
00:18:36into a DDT.
00:18:38On dire streets.
00:18:40But he bought himself some time.
00:18:42Look at this.
00:18:44Gotta be impressed with this.
00:18:46That was a heck of a counter.
00:18:48My core is much stronger,
00:18:50obviously, than Mike Knox.
00:18:52I would have countered it then.
00:18:54Morrison, going for the cover.
00:18:56One, two, and just in time.
00:18:58That DDT, Mike Knox's head
00:19:00did not bounce back off the mat.
00:19:02It stuck there.
00:19:04I hope the Palace of Wisdom
00:19:06has a large ice machine
00:19:08with Morrison moving around
00:19:10very gingerly after the assault
00:19:12of Mike Knox.
00:19:17And Morrison
00:19:19trying to ground Mike Knox right now.
00:19:21It appears that Morrison's done so.
00:19:23From the patella to the jaw.
00:19:26The A-lister with a knee.
00:19:29That got straightened out
00:19:31Knox's beard.
00:19:33And a standing shooting star press.
00:19:35Will that do it?
00:19:36Maybe if he would have
00:19:38spent less time celebrating
00:19:40before he glanded on him,
00:19:42he might have had him there.
00:19:44How about that for a knee?
00:19:46Few do it better or harder
00:19:48than John Morrison when it comes
00:19:50to those running knees.
00:19:52Oh, sneak and a big and hard
00:19:54Mike Knox with a massive crossbody
00:19:56and almost parlayed it to a victory.
00:19:58You know, Morrison's one of these guys
00:20:00with a big ego.
00:20:02I can't stand people like that.
00:20:04It's gotta be a turn off
00:20:06for the A-lister.
00:20:10Morrison.
00:20:12A stunt boy.
00:20:14Flying champ.
00:20:17And now Knox is in the proverbial
00:20:19no man's land.
00:20:21Not a good place to be
00:20:23when Morrison fires up the engines
00:20:25for Starship Pain.
00:20:31Everybody gets lucky once in a while.
00:20:33You can get lucky a couple times.
00:20:37Not really impressed by Morrison tonight.
00:20:39He did exactly what I thought he would.
00:20:41Basically a 7 or an 8
00:20:43out of a scale of a 10
00:20:45being a Ziggler.
00:20:47And he's holding up my championship.
00:20:52Well, to earn to be your championship,
00:20:54you first gotta win it.
00:20:56You'll get that chance.
00:20:59In just a few weeks.
00:21:02And it looks so right here
00:21:04at Difference Maker.
00:21:06Flying Chuck.
00:21:08That began the fatal sequence
00:21:10for Mike Knox.
00:21:12And look at this.
00:21:14Starship Pain.
00:21:16To my knowledge, Dolph,
00:21:18no one has kicked out of Starship Pain.
00:21:20I won't have to worry about being
00:21:22underneath when he lands.
00:21:24It's not gonna happen to me.
00:21:26I'm way too good of an athlete.
00:21:28And I'm also very humble
00:21:30so that keeps me grounded.
00:21:32Is he gonna say something?
00:21:34Maybe he'll congratulate me
00:21:37Hope you had a good time
00:21:39playing footsie with Todd Gershom.
00:21:42What?
00:21:44Oh, settle down, buddy.
00:21:46I know you're trying to make
00:21:48a name for yourself as
00:21:50Dolph Ziggler
00:21:52in our upcoming match.
00:21:54I've got a feeling
00:21:56the only name the WWE Universe
00:21:58is going to be chanting
00:22:00is Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:06Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:08Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:10Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:12Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:14Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:16Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:18Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:20Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:22Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:24Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:26Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:28Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:30Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:32Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:34Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:36Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:38Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:40Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:42Mr. Ziggles!
00:22:56Well, JR at breaking point
00:22:58we're literally what, 7, 8 feet away
00:23:00from one of the most controversial moments
00:23:01in WWE history.
00:23:03The Undertaker was ruled
00:23:04was ruled to have submitted to CM Punk,
00:23:06but I know you thought different.
00:23:07Well, I've been around a lot of controversy
00:23:09in WWE over my tenure,
00:23:11and I'm gonna take it back, folks,
00:23:13and let you be the judge if you didn't see the event.
00:23:16What we saw here at ringside,
00:23:18and there's the anaconda vice just being applied,
00:23:22and referee Scott Armstrong calls for a bell immediately.
00:23:30And then Armstrong, the referee,
00:23:32and CM Punk run from the ring.
00:23:35They run from the controversy.
00:23:38And The Undertaker just as baffled as all of us,
00:23:42because The Undertaker never submitted.
00:23:48Look at this getaway.
00:23:50The anaconda advice was only applied for less than a second,
00:23:53but apparently in the mind of the referee,
00:23:54it was long enough.
00:23:56I wanna hear this.
00:23:57Scott, why did you do what you did last Sunday?
00:24:01You know, Josh, I've asked myself that question
00:24:03many, many times since Sunday.
00:24:07What was asked of me Sunday night
00:24:09is something that after 30 years in this business,
00:24:12I've never been asked to do anything like that.
00:24:15But in this life, if you don't own the business,
00:24:17you answer to somebody that does own the business.
00:24:20I answer to somebody that's much higher
00:24:23than the position I'm in, and I'll just leave it at that.
00:24:26I've been around this 30 years.
00:24:30I've got a wife and kids.
00:24:32I love them.
00:24:35They're the reason for my season, so to speak.
00:24:40I was asked to do something that I knew was wrong.
00:24:46Made me sick to my stomach before I walked out there.
00:24:49Made me sick to my stomach while I was in the ring
00:24:51because I knew what was about to happen.
00:24:54Something I'm not proud of.
00:24:59But I make no excuses.
00:25:01I did what I had to do to keep my job.
00:25:10Ladies and gentlemen, Batista's first night
00:25:12back here on Friday night concludes
00:25:14with this huge main event.
00:25:16Which one of these two athletes truly is
00:25:18the face of SmackDown?
00:25:20We'll find out later tonight.
00:25:22You heard him right, ladies and gentlemen.
00:25:23Batista, The Animal, Chris Jericho
00:25:26is our main event tonight.
00:25:28♪♪♪
00:25:33This is a Divas Contest, and for one fall,
00:25:37approaching the ring first from Los Angeles, California,
00:25:40Melina.
00:25:42What a thrill it is for the entire WWE Universe
00:25:44to have Batista back in the ring.
00:25:47What a thrill it is for the entire WWE Universe
00:25:49to have Batista back here on SmackDown.
00:25:52He chose to be on this grand JR tonight.
00:25:54Looks to be the dominant Batista we all remember.
00:25:58Well, let's, let's, let's, uh, yeah,
00:25:59let's, uh, think about that, Todd.
00:26:02Whoa!
00:26:04That's why they're having a match, the main event.
00:26:06Chris Jericho's got a lot to say about the outcome
00:26:09of the Batista-Jericho match.
00:26:12Like Jericho said, he was the first ever
00:26:14undisputed champion.
00:26:15I have to call that match.
00:26:17I know how good Jericho is, it can't be.
00:26:19And her opponent from Palatka, Florida,
00:26:21she is the WWE Women's Champion,
00:26:24Michelle McCool.
00:26:28You can see Michelle McCool noticeably limping,
00:26:30has some right knee damage,
00:26:32and apparently not back at 100% yet.
00:26:35Well, last week, certainly Michelle McCool
00:26:37was 100% using that cane
00:26:41to get an unfair advantage for Layla,
00:26:43and Layla upset Melina,
00:26:46thanks to the outside interference
00:26:49of the WWE Women's Champion.
00:26:53So, limping or not, we don't know exactly
00:26:56how injured Michelle McCool is.
00:27:00Melina looks very ready
00:27:02to meet the Women's Champion here tonight.
00:27:09This is a non-title matchup,
00:27:10but Melina certainly wants to make an impact here,
00:27:13and finally get an opportunity to get her hands
00:27:15on the Women's Champion.
00:27:18Not quite yet, though.
00:27:22Well, certainly Melina's earned her right
00:27:24as the number one contender, no doubt about that.
00:27:26She's a three-time or more former champion.
00:27:30Three times is correct.
00:27:33Who can forget last week,
00:27:34Michelle McCool with that crutch shot right to Melina,
00:27:37which allowed Layla to get the pinfall win.
00:27:41McCool very talented in many disciplines of her offense.
00:27:47She used some submissions.
00:27:50Kept this catch cane style,
00:27:51and McCool moving pretty good right there.
00:27:53I mean, that was just an adrenaline rush.
00:27:56They got her out of harm's way there fairly quickly.
00:27:59McCool claims to be the greatest diva of all time.
00:28:03Although some might feel right now, not acting like it.
00:28:11McCool meets Melina right in the ropes and takes her down.
00:28:15With a handful, double handful of hair.
00:28:17Not real sportsman like, quite frankly.
00:28:19Look at the aggression here.
00:28:20McCool now on top of Melina firing away.
00:28:24Melina trying to cover up,
00:28:25but now that canvas is hard,
00:28:27and Melina's head bouncing off of it.
00:28:29Speaking of great divas,
00:28:31what do you think about the guest hosting job
00:28:33that Trish Stratus did on Monday Night Raw?
00:28:34I liked it, I enjoyed it.
00:28:36Sort of one of the greatest divas of all time
00:28:39at WWE, she was a champion seven times, as a matter of fact.
00:28:44Her hometown of Toronto made a big splash.
00:28:51Michelle McCool miraculously, ladies and gentlemen.
00:28:54We're seeing a miracle here.
00:28:56Is not craving that knee as perversely
00:28:58as she was on her way to the ring.
00:29:01Look at this hold here,
00:29:02the torque being applied to Melina's spine.
00:29:05That would be a dragon sleeper, Todd.
00:29:07And it gives a submission maneuver.
00:29:09I'll show it to you later.
00:29:13You gotta help me with it, though.
00:29:14Can't bend over that far at this stage of the game.
00:29:17I'll pass.
00:29:21Melina has a lot of work to do
00:29:22to get out of the dragon sleeper.
00:29:24Melina's got that great flexibility.
00:29:26Melina, even in that position,
00:29:29can score with a kick to the head of the tall Michelle McCool
00:29:34who just drove that, what, the bad knee?
00:29:37I think it was.
00:29:38Injured knee.
00:29:39Yeah, it's amazing.
00:29:41I'm sure that brace isn't the softest of materials.
00:29:44Knee is braced.
00:29:44One, two, three.
00:29:46And that's certainly used as a weapon of sorts
00:29:50there moments ago.
00:29:53McCool very calculated, got a master's degree.
00:29:54Very, very slow.
00:29:56And look at the quickness and the wear with it all
00:29:59of Melina to avoid contact.
00:30:02Speaking of smartening,
00:30:03Michelle favoring her right knee again.
00:30:06Can Melina take advantage?
00:30:07Yes, she can.
00:30:08Well, maybe it's a reoccurring injury.
00:30:12Well, Michelle McCool told me
00:30:14the knee wouldn't be as bad a shape
00:30:15had Melina not shoved her into the chair a few weeks ago
00:30:18when Michelle McCool was visiting with us
00:30:20down here on commentary.
00:30:23Although I don't remember the right knee taking a hit.
00:30:27Oh, good Lord.
00:30:29What a Sharapova.
00:30:32Final scream and the aggression of Melina.
00:30:39And Melina may have just earned a victory
00:30:41over the women's champion.
00:30:42One, two, no.
00:30:43Two.
00:30:45I've never heard a scream quite like that.
00:30:48It's like an Alfred Hitchcock movie gone awry.
00:30:57Nice reverse elbow.
00:31:00Whoa.
00:31:02Melina.
00:31:03Matrix.
00:31:04And then a big old kick right to the face
00:31:07from that injured leg.
00:31:08And a cover, one, two, no.
00:31:10Two.
00:31:11Have you ever seen a superstar, male or female,
00:31:14in the history of the WWE
00:31:15with as much flexibility as Melina?
00:31:18Nope, have not, Todd.
00:31:21Michelle McCool trying to end this right here, right now.
00:31:25Oh, Melina.
00:31:26That should do it, that should do it.
00:31:28Melina just pinned the women's champion.
00:31:34Melina.
00:31:37A dazzling display by Melina
00:31:42who finally got her shot at Michelle McCool
00:31:44and made the most of it.
00:31:45I guarantee you one thing,
00:31:47when that women's championship match
00:31:49finally does come around,
00:31:50Melina has shown the entire WWE universe
00:31:53that she can beat Michelle McCool
00:31:56and become the next women's champion.
00:31:59It all started with that missed boot.
00:32:02But then the right follow-up connected
00:32:04and it looked like Michelle McCool
00:32:06was gonna be able to end this match
00:32:07until the scream followed by that.
00:32:11Wow.
00:32:16There are Canadian Huskies barking all over the North.
00:32:20Man, what a scream.
00:32:21Well, Melina is certainly smart, sexy, and powerful
00:32:25and she just beat the women's champion.
00:32:29Bruce, you never know where he's gonna come from.
00:32:33Just stay right with me, watch my back all night, all right?
00:32:35Because if you don't know, you don't know.
00:32:37I'm telling you, please stay with me all the time, all right?
00:32:43Mr. McMahon, how are you, sir?
00:32:47I'd like to have a little chat with Mr. Long, please,
00:32:49so if you'll excuse yourself.
00:32:58What can I do for you, sir?
00:33:00Where's my picture?
00:33:02Last week, last week you said,
00:33:05you're gonna have my picture in your office,
00:33:07I don't see it.
00:33:08Sir?
00:33:09No, no, no, no, I don't wanna hear it.
00:33:10Last week you said you were gonna give us a surprise.
00:33:14It was gonna change the face of SmackDown.
00:33:18Yes, sir.
00:33:19And you've done that.
00:33:20Batista, the animal, back on SmackDown.
00:33:24That's magnificent, that's extraordinary.
00:33:27Yes, sir.
00:33:28And last week you also said that
00:33:30you're gonna come up with something for Breaking Point.
00:33:36Wow, did you ever come up with something.
00:33:40But I've gotta ask you, why?
00:33:46What possessed you?
00:33:47Why did you double-cross The Undertaker?
00:33:51Well, Mr. McMahon, you said-
00:33:52Don't tell me what I said.
00:33:55I'll tell you what I said.
00:33:56I told you to entertain those people.
00:33:58That's what I said.
00:34:01No, no, no, that's all I said.
00:34:04Entertain those people.
00:34:06But-
00:34:07Entertain our WWE universe.
00:34:09Don't interrupt me anymore.
00:34:11Yes, sir.
00:34:14Now then, I think you owe me an explanation
00:34:22for why you did what you did.
00:34:24And it better be the right answer.
00:34:27It better be the right answer.
00:34:30You know what, more importantly,
00:34:32I think you owe the WWE universe an answer.
00:34:36So why don't you get out there, go to the ring, Teddy.
00:34:41I'll be back here in your office listening to what you say.
00:34:45Go tell them why you double-crossed The Undertaker.
00:34:51Now get.
00:34:54All right, and by the way,
00:34:57I wouldn't want to be you.
00:34:59Do you have any idea what The Undertaker is gonna do to you?
00:35:03Do you have any idea?
00:35:08I think I better go, sir.
00:35:09Yeah, I think you better go, too.
00:35:11Yes, sir.
00:35:20You know it's the Mac militant.
00:35:22Coming with you later.
00:35:27Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the general manager
00:35:28of Friday Night SmackDown, Theodore Long.
00:35:33You know Theodore Long's really jovial,
00:35:36you know, fun-loving guy.
00:35:38His actions on Sunday night were shocking.
00:35:42Well, ladies and gentlemen,
00:35:43let's take you back to Sunday night
00:35:45and the controversy that was
00:35:46the World Heavyweight Championship match.
00:35:52And WWE breaking point,
00:35:54and WWE breaking point,
00:35:56The Undertaker returned.
00:35:59Hell's Gate and Pop Taps.
00:36:02And won the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:36:04History has been made.
00:36:08But what happened next?
00:36:10The Undertaker's Hell's Gate submission hold was banned.
00:36:14Therefore, this submission match will continue.
00:36:18Was the most controversial ending
00:36:19in the history of the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:36:24Or the CM Punk retains the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:36:28The Undertaker did not submit.
00:36:35First of all, I would like to personally
00:36:40welcome back the newest and the biggest addition
00:36:46to the SmackDown roster,
00:36:48The Animal, Batista.
00:36:53I came out here to make an admission.
00:37:01I admit.
00:37:01You suck, you suck, you suck, you suck, you suck, you suck,
00:37:08you suck, you suck, you suck, you suck, you suck, you suck.
00:37:11Just a minute.
00:37:12I admit that all of this was pre-planned.
00:37:17It was pre-planned to prevent The Undertaker
00:37:23from becoming the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:37:36Now, I'm not going to stand out here
00:37:38and say that I'm proud of what I did, because I'm not.
00:37:46And I'm not going to stand out here
00:37:48and say that I am not afraid of The Undertaker
00:37:52because I am.
00:38:00And I know that he may show up here sometime tonight.
00:38:06And that's why I have surrounded myself with this security.
00:38:15Now, now listen, let me remind you.
00:38:20I'm not the only one involved in this.
00:38:23There's the referee, Scott Armstrong,
00:38:28and the current World Heavyweight Champion, CM Punk.
00:38:32Now, now I know how I feel about this conspiracy.
00:38:38Now, I know how I feel about this conspiracy.
00:38:46And I would like to tell all of you
00:38:50the reason I did what I did.
00:38:54You see, I've got a family to take care of.
00:39:01Times are tough and I can't let my family down.
00:39:07I can't afford to let them see me
00:39:10standing in the unemployment line.
00:39:14And let's be honest, I'm just too old
00:39:19to learn to do something new.
00:39:23So therefore, I would like to apologize for my actions.
00:39:28I would like to apologize to the WWE Universe.
00:39:36And I would like to apologize to each and every one of you.
00:39:43And I especially would like to apologize to The Undertaker.
00:39:48Would like to apologize to The Undertaker.
00:39:58And one last thing, I hope that The Undertaker
00:40:04can find in his heart to forgive me.
00:40:19Well, some very revealing remarks
00:40:22from the general manager of Friday Night SmackDown.
00:40:27And those remarks certainly speak for themselves.
00:40:49He's not there?
00:40:50No one there?
00:40:51No one there.
00:40:58Well, obviously Theodore Long apologized,
00:41:00but the big question now is,
00:41:02will The Undertaker accept the general manager's apology?
00:41:06Well, I've known The Undertaker a long time.
00:41:07I hope that he arrives here tonight.
00:41:09I hope that he does.
00:41:11But we heard interesting things there.
00:41:13We heard Long did admit a conspiracy.
00:41:16He implicated CM Punk, the referee.
00:41:18And the reason he did it was for family needs.
00:41:31Thank you, guys.
00:41:34Okay, driver, I'm ready to go.
00:41:36Get me out of here.
00:41:39Driver?
00:41:42Driver, I'm ready to go.
00:41:43Get me out of here.
00:41:46Get me out of here.
00:41:53Buckle up, Teddy.
00:42:02Give us a lock.
00:42:05Get me out, get me out.
00:42:07Come on, get me out.
00:42:09Come on.
00:42:11Somebody, get me out of here.
00:42:15Please.
00:42:17Help me, help me, please, get me out.
00:42:20Get me out.
00:42:22Somebody, get me out of here.
00:42:28I need to get out, get me out.
00:42:30Get me out, please, somebody.
00:42:34We're back, ladies and gentlemen.
00:42:35And just moments ago,
00:42:36we heard the address of our general manager.
00:42:39He got in his limousine.
00:42:41Wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
00:42:43I'm ready to go, get me out of here.
00:42:45And, well, here's what happened.
00:42:48Driver?
00:42:50Driver, I'm ready to go.
00:42:51Get me out of here.
00:43:01Buckle up, Teddy.
00:43:10Give us a lock.
00:43:13Get me out, get me out.
00:43:15Come on.
00:43:21I need to get out, get me out.
00:43:23Get me out, please, somebody.
00:43:27Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
00:43:29the only straight edge world heavyweight champion
00:43:32in history, CM Punk.
00:43:37♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
00:43:45♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
00:43:46Well, showing no disrespect to the
00:43:49first ever straight edge world champion,
00:43:53I wonder where our general manager is
00:43:57for the most sinister, diabolic joker in the world
00:44:02at the helm of the limousine, The Undertaker.
00:44:05I think it's safe to say that no one would want
00:44:07to be on the ride that The Undertaker
00:44:09is taking Teddy Monroe right now.
00:44:12Buckle up, Teddy.
00:44:14I see one sign out there a member of our WWE Universe is holding that said CM Crook. I think that pretty much sums it up
00:44:25Certainly I made it clear that he hoped that The Undertaker would find it in The Undertaker's heart to forgive Long for the
00:44:32Conspiracy of last Sunday. Does The Undertaker have a heart?
00:44:36It doesn't exist. Long better hope so
00:44:45Long admitting that the CM Punk involved in a conspiracy. Long with Long in The Official.
00:44:58I told you so
00:45:05Seems like I'm out here a lot saying that to you people right? I know it seems like a lot, but the truth is I
00:45:13Said I would beat Jeff and I did
00:45:19I told you so. I said that I would get rid of Jeff Hardy forever
00:45:30And I did
00:45:33I told you so
00:45:35And then I said I would make The Undertaker
00:45:39Tap out to the Anaconda Vice and you laughed
00:45:45But then I did just that
00:45:48And contrary to what you people believe I didn't come out here to brag
00:45:52about being the first and
00:45:55only man
00:45:56To make the Phenom, The Undertaker tap out.
00:46:02I came out here to confront The Undertaker.
00:46:05I came out here to confront The Undertaker in
00:46:08My ring or my yard if you will.
00:46:15I came out here to stick my
00:46:19World Heavyweight Championship in his face and look him in the eye and say to him
00:46:27I told you so
00:46:29I told you so
00:46:33But of course he's conveniently not here right now so instead I think I'll address all of you people
00:46:47It's come to my attention that you people think that I've been preaching to you
00:46:55All right, we'll call a spade a spade the truth is yes, I have
00:46:59Because you people need a good preaching too
00:47:04You people need
00:47:06Somebody you can look up to you need a leader who isn't morally corrupt and you need somebody who's righteous
00:47:14Not self-righteous
00:47:19And I know what you're all gonna do next you're gonna do exactly what your hero The Undertaker did you're gonna give up
00:47:27Now by the looks at half of you
00:47:31You already have I mean what kind of life is it that you live? What kind of existence?
00:47:38Do you have where you wake up in the morning and you have to pop a pill to help crawl out of bed?
00:47:45and then
00:47:46Then you ravage your body with pitchers of beer
00:47:51And that's supposed to somehow
00:47:53And that's supposed to somehow
00:47:56heal your broken self-worth
00:47:59And then you just make excuses about inhaling poison into your lungs just to calm your nerves
00:48:08And then at the end of your sad pathetic
00:48:13lonely day
00:48:15You're in need of another pill to make you forget everything
00:48:20You need a pill to help you sleep
00:48:24You
00:48:29You are all
00:48:31Just a legion of inebriated zombies waiting in line at the pharmacy with your hand out
00:48:38begging and pleading for that newest
00:48:42Antidepressant that you think is gonna help put an artificial smile on your face
00:48:53You scratch and you claw for scapegoats for all of your inadequacies
00:48:59And believe me you have a lot of inadequacies
00:49:11And don't tell me that you don't self-medicate yourself to forget about it all
00:49:17Don't tell me you don't self-medicate to hide from all your inadequacies
00:49:24Don't tell me you don't do it because if you do
00:49:30Well, then you're a liar, too
00:49:33You're lying to yourself you're lying to yourselves right now
00:49:38You're lying to the person next to you
00:49:41you go home and you lie to your family and
00:49:44It's insulting because right now you're lying to me
00:49:49And I can see right through all of you people and your lies
00:49:54Because I am NOT a liar I
00:49:58Am a man who means what he says and says what he means
00:50:06What I am is a prophet I am the choice of a new generation I
00:50:15Am a champion that everybody can finally be proud of I
00:50:20Am the first and
00:50:23only
00:50:24straight-edge world
00:50:26heavyweight champion in history
00:50:37And if you're not straight-edge like me well
00:50:44That just means I'm better than you
00:50:49I
00:50:56You know, that's what it all comes down to
00:50:58If you're not straight-edge like CM Punk
00:51:01He truly believes in his heart that he is a better human being
00:51:05than anyone else
00:51:14Now in his view none of us have any rights none of us can choose to be ourselves
00:51:20He's a prophet Jerry heard him. He's a choice of a new generation
00:51:25Not like him and just like him. We're wrong. We've heard another sermon from the Second City Saint

00:53:51They are classically trained meticulous to detail and can apply any hold expertly at will
00:53:58You
00:54:03Take the black has a great deal of significance not just pink. They are neon pink. Thank you
00:54:11We're correcting me again on television
00:54:15David Hart Smith son of the British Bulldog baby boy Smith
00:54:21And a big Shad gas bar
00:54:23Gas bar six foot seven JR over 290 pounds

00:54:34Our dynasties heavyweight in there right now and DH Smith the son of the British Bulldog baby boy Smith
00:54:42Prime time in the heart dynasty have had their battles recently a number one contenders match last month
00:54:48For the unified tag team championships prime time one that battle, you know, the heart dynasty has not forgot
00:54:58I've got a great opportunity at summer
00:55:05Really no, it's like a lane from Seinfeld. I'd like to not see it again
00:55:17Race for the undisputed tag team titles currently held by Chris Jericho and the big show
00:55:23For the big show Chris Jericho is Chad Gaspard goes for the cover
00:55:26They faced Mark Henry an MVP and big shows right hand once again was the determining factor deadly right hand by the big show
00:55:36The most impressive big athlete I've ever seen is the big show and the right hand was a difference-maker
00:55:43When you can knock out Mark Henry
00:55:47Doing something very significant
00:55:49Doing something very significant why Mark Henry's only the strongest man in the world
00:55:57JTG since DH Smith flying it. Oh Tyson kid may soon follow
00:56:10Right time looking good and their mayhem and mischief continue we'll find out a smackdown continues
00:56:19We're back here on Friday night smackdown on my network TV
00:56:22You're watching a tag team contest between crime time and the heart dynasty and a tag in David Hart Smith
00:56:29third generation superstar
00:56:31Has the leg hooked?
00:56:34David Hart Smith and Tyson kid have said many times. It's not a matter of if but when they'll become champions
00:56:40Well, David Hart Smith and Tyson could be the undisputed tag champions someday. My vote is yes
00:56:47Eve at ringside along with Natalia Neidhardt
00:56:52So Jim the ambulance daughter
00:56:55Pretty proficient in
00:56:57Submissions and a variety of the math skills as the quicker member of the heart dynasty Tyson kid tagged in
00:57:04Nice teamwork there as kid put two boots right to the grill of Shad gaspard to cover
00:57:11Still to come tonight our main event the return of Batista for a one-on-one against Chris Jericho
00:57:20Really try to steal a spotlight of Batista the very top of the program
00:57:24Decent made his intentions. No money. Not he was come back to Friday night smackdown and then
00:57:29Randy Orton pretty convincingly on Monday night
00:57:33as a send-off
00:57:37Tyson kid the final graduate of Stu Hart's dungeon
00:57:41The kid said after me there would be no one as good as me
00:57:44So they had to shut it down whether that's true or not remains to be seen
00:57:47I would say that was speculation but be that as the main types of kid is a an extremely talented young man
00:57:55He's and you see that the ring what where the kid felt like he was losing control
00:58:03It's a cheap shot in for good measure control re-established with a cover and it was close that's just about instincts
00:58:11There's I've never seen in my career a young team with a natural instincts that David Hart Smith and Tyson kid possess
00:58:20It's all they've known they grew up wanting to be WWE superstars. They were around it their entire lives
00:58:26Thanks to their family and they've got perfect genes
00:58:29JTG encouraging Shad Gaspard to show us those skills that pay the bills
00:58:41Timberland across the chest and this may create the opportunity
00:58:49Look at David Hart Smith trapped the ankle
00:58:52Why
00:58:55Look at David Hart Smith trapped the ankle reason for that. He's Gaspar for making a tag
00:59:11Wrong part of the ring the worst part of the ring for gas for to be in right now
00:59:15The long part of Canada as the two Canadians team up showing great team chemistry
00:59:35Goes all the way almost to the North Pole, it's always snowing somewhere in Canada
00:59:40Jail wasn't aware of that
00:59:43Tyson kid
00:59:45Could be better sir, perhaps to make sure it goes back to the legs
00:59:48You just want to be a big guy like gas water retain a vertical base. That's where he's the most dangerous
00:59:59For altitude
01:00:01Nice agility
01:00:04Kid nice agility
01:00:08A game-changing clothesline by Gaspar. That was one of those old-school Stan the Lariat a handsome clotheslines
01:00:28Shad's been in the ring for a long long time
01:00:31The tag is made and the pace will most definitely quicken
01:00:46Very unorthodox
01:00:48wrestling style by JTG very charismatic young man, but
01:00:53A lot of intensity. He doesn't want to waste any time here
01:00:56Does JTG a forearm shot into Smith's temple and now from the second row great leg drop by JTG?
01:01:04You will go for a cover to
01:01:09A win by primetime over the hearts in Canada would be controversial like Keanu West
01:01:16Actually Kanye
01:01:18He made a fool of himself
01:01:22National television you steal my thunder a lot
01:01:25Roll up to and JTG powers out and now it's kid shoulders down
01:01:35JTG is on a big-time roll
01:01:38Can he end it here
01:01:41Now with David Hart Smith seeing the predicament
01:01:44Oh
01:01:46What a right hand by Gaspar he's got to get back in control of this easier said than done obviously
01:01:53Who went out here the entitled lives of
01:01:57David Hart Smith and Tyson kidder the third life of crime
01:02:06Meantime kid and JTG
01:02:14The heart dynasty
01:02:24Canadian brethren and sisterin
01:02:35An impressive victory for the heart dynasty over crime time here whether the hearts gain an unfair advantage or they did not
01:02:43Their hometown fans are cheering and watch the right side of your screen here
01:03:07I've got a lot
01:03:09Oh
01:03:29My god Maria is gonna freak she can't she can't see this
01:03:39Oh
01:03:47I'm so sorry
01:03:52I'm so sorry. Oh my goodness. I can't believe that
01:04:01I'm sure Dolph has a logical
01:04:04Explanation for this and and you know what if you thought something was going on, why don't you come to me?
01:04:11What why wouldn't you come to me? Talk to me? Why would you go and do all of this?
01:04:16I mean, what are all these pictures up? No, are you trying to embarrass me? I mean, no
01:04:25Of course we're friends I'm trying to you know, I wouldn't hurt you do something like this
01:04:31You know, no, no, I'm done with this
01:04:48Well, ladies and gentlemen not that notwithstanding our main event tonight it's just moments away the animal
01:04:55Bautista is back on Friday Night Smackdown and tonight in the main event
01:04:59It will be Bautista one-on-one with Chris Jericho
01:05:04But first it's seven foot three four hundred and twenty pounds versus seven feet three hundred pounds Kane
01:05:10Versus Kylie in a confrontation that could measure on the Richter scale. It's up next
01:05:16Tonight
01:05:20Well, Jr. John Cena did not quit at breaking point, but who will survive hell in a cell
01:05:27Torturous as the right quick match was this past Sunday the stakes to be raised even higher inside
01:05:34Hell in a cell also in hell in a cell D generation X looks for a measure of revenge against legacy
01:05:42I still got the DX wants retribution
01:05:44But a legacy perhaps wasn't even worse to establish
01:05:48Their dynasty their dominance in WWE as the new stars in town
01:06:03They get coming into the ring fire engine scene from India standing at seven feet three inches
01:06:12120 pounds
01:06:16Five nights ago the great Kali and Kane faced off in a Singapore team match and there was flying everywhere
01:06:29Kane was victorious
01:06:32This past Sunday in
01:06:35Montreal, but certainly the great Kali feels that there is unfinished business
01:06:41With himself and the big red machine
01:06:51Three hundred twenty-three
01:06:55Kane on many occasions has told the great Kali you should be afraid of me
01:07:00Kane is a certifiable
01:07:03monster
01:07:04Mark that down
01:07:07Certifiable monster is the three hundred and twenty-three pounder
01:07:12He is intelligent and evil a very dangerous
01:07:17combination
01:07:19Calculating heartless is Kane
01:07:23Kane certainly has sadistic tendencies and those were on full display Sunday night at breaking point as
01:07:30Kane with
01:07:32multiple shots across the spine and skull of the great colleague
01:07:37Oh
01:07:42Hands the size of a laptop computer
01:07:47All these hands are so big and folks so thick as you illustrated
01:07:52Hey now trying to get out of dodge
01:07:56Report a colleague
01:08:07Okay, okay, he's got a chair
01:08:14Came with no remorse
01:08:20And now we're about to see the demonic side of Kane
01:08:26I've seen the demonic side of Kane on more than one occasion, and I don't like it
01:08:32Holly is unconscious. Kane is dragging the 420 pound carcass of Kali over to the steel ring steps
01:08:43This will not have a happy ending. Kali being drugged helplessly. Oh no, come on
01:08:57Kali's leg
01:08:59Exposed. Kali unconscious. It's defenseless.
01:09:29He's your Kali. He's my father. He's my father.
01:09:59Welcome back ladies and gentlemen just moments ago J.R. a very disturbing scene as Kane seemed obvious that his intent was to disable the great colleague.
01:10:29We're back here on Smackdown and Charlie Haas set for battle. R-Truth should be a good one.
01:10:52Charlie R-Truth one of the most charismatic electric personalities in
01:10:59Smackdown
01:11:04This is Drew McIntyre
01:11:07We just saw R-Truth last week
01:11:11And the week before that and I think the week before that
01:11:15Now it seems R-Truth was involved in an accident in the backstage area
01:11:33And unfortunately I was informed he is unable to compete here tonight
01:11:40So
01:11:45Charlie as far as I'm concerned that makes you the winner by forfeit
01:11:54Congratulations
01:12:02I'm not so sure I'd want to shake Drew McIntyre's hand with his actions in recent weeks
01:12:10Already a WrestleMania main eventer
01:12:14This is just like
01:12:15McIntyre's assaults of R-Truth
01:12:19This is a very talented yet arrogant young man
01:12:23That believes he is
01:12:25ordained to be a star
01:12:28No matter what it takes or who he's got to go through
01:12:31Ladies and gentlemen, two of the most decorated superstars of their generation face off tonight
01:12:36Batista is back on Smackdown and squares off against Chris Jericho
01:12:40It is next, ladies and gentlemen, right here on Smackdown
01:12:55Welcome back to Friday Night Smackdown
01:12:57Again I take another look at this a bizarre surreal moment where Theodore Long was leaving the arena
01:13:03Okay driver, I'm ready to go, get me out of here
01:13:08Driver
01:13:11Driver, I'm ready to go, get me out of here
01:13:21Buckle up, Teddy
01:13:27Get me out, get me out
01:13:39Ladies and gentlemen, we still have yet to get an update on this situation regarding our general manager and the Undertaker
01:13:58His body is simple and bold
01:14:00Introducing first weight 226 pounds
01:14:03He is one half of the unified WWE tag team champions
01:14:09Chris Jericho
01:14:12It is now time for our main event and what a main event it is
01:14:16Batista's return and he squares off against Chris Jericho
01:14:21One half of the unified tag team champions
01:14:24Jericho feels he can beat Batista
01:14:26And he's got history on his side, JR
01:14:28Jericho has beaten Batista for the world heavyweight championship
01:14:32The last time the two men met, one on one, that was the outcome
01:14:36Jericho is very upset that after interrupting Batista at the very beginning of the program
01:14:41You heard what he said to Big Show back in the locker room
01:14:44Jericho would do this alone
01:14:57Batista is back and he is back in it
01:15:01From Washington DC, weighing 290 pounds
01:15:06Batista
01:15:20Few men have ever possessed the explosive power that Batista has
01:15:25The explosive power that runs through the veins of that man
01:15:29Where there's intensity in the heart of Batista
01:15:32He's obviously ripped, he looks like he's been out of granite
01:15:36He's got great strength, amazing explosion
01:15:39But what you can't see is inside his heart
01:15:42The intensity and the will to compete
01:15:45The will to be the best
01:15:47Batista returning from a torn left bicep
01:15:51It's been out three months
01:15:53Will there be any ring rust tonight?
01:15:55If so, you know Chris Jericho can and will exploit it
01:16:06So welcome back Batista
01:16:08Glad to see you back, man, what an athlete
01:16:11And what a matchup, Jericho and Batista
01:16:14And for any of us who count Jericho out would be very foolish
01:16:18And that might not have been the most judicious move by Jericho to anger the animal
01:16:22Jericho has said, I am the face of SmackDown
01:16:26And we'll prove it tonight
01:16:30I'm not going to argue that point with Jericho
01:16:32But frankly, he's done a lot to simplify that
01:16:36What a power slam
01:16:37This could be over early, Batista hooking the leg of Jericho in a kick out
01:16:41But Batista said, hey, from what I've heard
01:16:45To be the man, you've got to beat the man
01:16:48I've heard that a couple of times before in my career
01:16:51And Batista certainly is a man
01:16:55Ooh, and Jericho going low
01:16:59Very smart move, very strategic by Chris Jericho
01:17:03He has disrupted the vertical base
01:17:07And that patella is so tender
01:17:09So a delicate one, frankly, for any animal
01:17:11And a second one
01:17:14Jericho claims to be the best in the world at what he does
01:17:17And there's his unified tag team partner, The Big Show
01:17:20Watching on a monitor backstage
01:17:22Big Show's got to be locking what he's seen thus far
01:17:25From his partner
01:17:28Jericho said he's beaten Batista before, he's going to do it again
01:17:31Right here
01:17:33Right here on face
01:17:37A major collision
01:17:39Our whole announce table moved considerably
01:17:41At the force of that blow from Jericho to Batista
01:17:47Batista's got such huge quadriceps
01:17:49That forehead and thigh muscle
01:17:51Being assaulted moments ago by Jericho
01:17:56Come on, I said
01:18:01Jericho's so surly
01:18:02Well, he's got a disdain for everything and everyone
01:18:05And apparently Batista falls under that category
01:18:09Jericho wasting no time in letting Batista know
01:18:11Listen, this is my show, I'm going to prove it
01:18:16And Jericho just may do that
01:18:19Jericho's off to a great start
01:18:27Batista arguably the biggest blue chip signing in SmackDown history
01:18:35He'd be the proverbial five-star recruit, if you will
01:18:39A proven commodity, no doubt about it
01:18:41Five-time world heavyweight champion
01:18:43Four-time tag team champion
01:18:45And has also won a WWE title
01:18:49Come on, Batista
01:18:50Come on
01:18:58Jericho has done his best so far
01:18:59To make sure this isn't a Batista welcoming party
01:19:03Well, certainly Jericho, no member of the welcome wagon
01:19:05That still exists
01:19:07Some neighborhood
01:19:09The power of Batista exists very well
01:19:12Batista still holding that knee
01:19:14The patella was the object of the assault
01:19:17Earlier on by Jericho
01:19:22Well, to beat Batista, it's almost got to be a mat thing
01:19:26You got to get him down
01:19:29Batista has more strength in his right hand
01:19:30Than most people do in their whole body
01:19:33So a bum knee is not going to take Batista out of this match
01:19:36Batista looks good, great shape as always
01:19:44Hard shot there by Jericho
01:19:46And now Jericho has quickened the pace
01:19:49A little more sudden
01:19:50Jericho's got an advantage in quickness
01:19:52He's utilizing it
01:19:57Nobody home for Jericho
01:19:58And whoops right into that spine buster
01:20:00And Batista was more than happy to oblige
01:20:03Smart move by Batista
01:20:06Avoiding the lion's saw
01:20:10And here we go
01:20:12Jericho
01:20:15No!
01:20:16That's countered by Jericho
01:20:18It's Zaguri
01:20:19It's Zaguri here for Jericho
01:20:21One, two
01:20:23The shot first to the quadricep again
01:20:27Vulnerable by Jericho's assault
01:20:30And as Batista lowered his head
01:20:31You saw that running in Zaguri that did connect
01:20:34Batista's down and Jericho
01:20:37Has something in mind here
01:20:38It's got to be something big
01:20:40Because this is uncharacteristic for Jericho
01:20:44Get up Batista!
01:20:50What a forearm shot!
01:20:52A clothesline of sorts
01:20:54Jericho left his feet to the calculated risk
01:20:57After getting Batista down
01:21:00That's not the type of strategy we've seen in the past
01:21:04From Chris Jericho who rolled the dice
01:21:06It did not pay off
01:21:07For a second look that was just a big right hand
01:21:12And Batista waiting for the moment
01:21:15Jericho
01:21:17The roll up
01:21:18Using the ropes for leverage
01:21:21And I don't know if the referee saw it or not
01:21:23Batista still got the shoulder up
01:21:26Jericho using the ring post
01:21:29And then they try to get the unfair advantage
01:21:31Utilizing the ring ropes for additional leverage
01:21:34Batista's still strong enough to kick out
01:21:40Batista going low
01:21:41Setting up perhaps for a Batista bump
01:21:44But you can see the effects of the knee
01:21:47Jericho
01:21:48Trying to rotate the hips and lock in the walls of Jericho
01:21:51And he's done it
01:21:52Another shot to the quad
