00:00:00Then.
00:00:06Now.
00:00:12Forever.
00:00:21Together.
00:00:30Friday Night Smackdown is in Music City, USA tonight, just off Broadway in downtown Nashville.
00:00:36And this show is stacked, including our main event.
00:00:40It is a triple threat ladder match for the WWE Tag Team title.
00:00:44The Champs, the Dominant Brothers, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa, off the bloodline.
00:00:49They won the gold from one of the teams they're facing in this matchup tonight.
00:00:54DIY, Gargano, and Champa, who are itching for revenge tonight.
00:00:59As are Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins, the team known as the Street Profits, led by B-Pass.
00:01:05The bloodline cost them the NXT Tag Titles.
00:01:08Now they want to win the WWE Tag Team Titles in a ladder match.
00:01:13Live, tonight, on Smackdown.
00:01:16Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, multi-platinum, country music artist, in Nashville's own, Hardy!
00:01:36His hit single, Psycho, out off his album, that is available everywhere now, known as Quint.
00:01:46Nashville, Tennessee!
00:01:50Welcome to Friday Night Smackdown.
00:01:54And give a warm welcome back, to the phenomenal forearm, AJ Styles!
00:02:15Well, I agree with Hardy, I've got to say, more than just the forearm, it's phenomenal about AJ Styles!
00:02:31We have not seen AJ Styles in the WWE since, June, Clash at the Castle.
00:02:42When AJ Styles took on Cody Rhodes in an I Quit match, in the Undisputed WWE Championship.
00:02:51And, Corey, AJ Styles told me in the days leading up to that match, that if he ever had to utter the words,
00:02:58I quit to Cody Rhodes, that we may possibly never see him again.
00:03:02Well, thankfully, that was not the case.
00:03:05AJ Styles did need to step away, recalibrate, refocus his game plan, and remind himself,
00:03:12why he is, in fact, the phenomenal one.
00:03:15Why Smackdown is, in fact, the house that AJ Styles built.
00:03:21The man is back, and we could not be happier.
00:03:3511,171 on hand tonight, at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
00:04:05AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ
00:04:35AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ
00:05:05And it's only fitting that I'm here in Nashville, Tennessee tonight.
00:05:16This is where it all started for AJ Styles.
00:05:22And over the past couple months, I've done a lot of things that I regret.
00:05:29Things I may not be forgiven for.
00:05:35But I'm not here to talk about the past.
00:05:39I'm talking about tonight and rebuilding the legacy of AJ Styles.
00:05:52So I know there's a lot of guys that don't like me and I don't blame them.
00:05:56But there's a lot of other guys that need to be reminded that this is still the house that AJ Styles built.
00:06:18We've got some company in the house that AJ Styles built.
00:06:27AJ, after everything that you've done, I'm not surprised there's not a long line of guys there to welcome you back.
00:06:41But that's okay because you know what, I took it upon myself to be that guy to do that.
00:06:46Because AJ, you know I don't need to reintroduce myself to you.
00:06:57You know who I am. I'm him, Carmelo Hayes.
00:07:02The one that beat Andrade three times and the one that's been holding it down here on SmackDown while you've been gone.
00:07:09But believe it or not, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm actually a huge fan of you.
00:07:20I love old timers like you.
00:07:24And I'm sure you're out here to announce some giant legends contract that you just signed.
00:07:32And believe me, you deserve it.
00:07:35But if we're going to talk about things that are deserved, allow me to talk about myself for a minute.
00:07:46A guy like me, a guy like me who deserves to be the U.S. Champion, not L.A. Knight and not Andrade.
00:07:57A guy like me.
00:08:00If it's okay with you, I'd like to maybe give you a little friendly advice.
00:08:06I've been in the ring with L.A. Knight before.
00:08:10And the guy is relentless.
00:08:16Yeah.
00:08:19He came to my house.
00:08:26We had a match at WrestleMania.
00:08:29Yeah.
00:08:34AJ, I don't need your advice.
00:08:38Because I don't take advice from quitters.
00:08:48Nope, I earned that one.
00:08:51So you really think you're that good, right?
00:08:53I am.
00:08:54Okay.
00:08:55If you were that good, if you were him, you would be United States Champion right now, wouldn't you?
00:09:12Well, AJ, if you were so phenomenal, then you'd be WWE Champion right now, wouldn't you?
00:09:25He's not there! He's not there! He's not there!
00:09:30I'll tell you what we'll do.
00:09:33You're in your wrestling gear, I'm in my wrestling gear.
00:09:35There's ropes, there's a ring.
00:09:37It's Nashville, Tennessee.
00:09:45Why don't you and I fight right here, right now in this very ring?
00:09:56You could be shooting, right?
00:09:59Nah, I'm good.
00:10:13The United States Champion is in the house in Nashville!
00:10:25The United States Champion is in the house in Nashville!
00:10:30The United States Champion is in the house in Nashville!
00:10:34The United States Champion is in the house in Nashville!
00:10:59Let me talk to you!
00:11:02My God, ain't this a familiar sight?
00:11:05Somebody wants to fight Carmelo and what's he do?
00:11:08Well, he's just gonna run away now, isn't he?
00:11:15Now AJ, let me not come out here and pretend like you and I are friends.
00:11:18We've been through the mill, like you said.
00:11:20I've been to your house, we've been through it all.
00:11:23Let me be honest, the last time I saw you, you were busy misleading me, misleading the entire world.
00:11:29Telling everybody, basically, that you were gonna retire and then you made a liar of yourself.
00:11:35So I don't have a whole lot to say to you, but what I will say is this.
00:11:39I look at Carmelo, he comes out here, he says, I deserve this, I'm him.
00:11:46Well, I tell you what, you are him.
00:11:48You're the guy that's gonna get stomped down right here tonight.
00:11:54The only question is, there's two options in this.
00:11:58The first option is, I can basically come down there, punch you in the mouth about four or five times,
00:12:07walk out of here, go down to Broadway, have a couple drinks and have myself a good night.
00:12:14Or, the other choice in this whole thing is, AJ, it seems like you made a little challenge here to Carmelo.
00:12:23He wasn't quite ready to take it, so I'll tell you what.
00:12:26I'm gonna go ahead and make sure that you wanna take it, Melo.
00:12:29Here's what you got.
00:12:30If you can beat AJ Styles right now, you're in.
00:12:36Make sure that you wanna take it, Melo.
00:12:38Here's what you got.
00:12:39If you can beat AJ Styles right now, I'll make a real convincing case to Nick Otis
00:12:48that you can get the shot that you so hardly think you deserve at the US Championship.
00:12:57But I'm gonna tell you what, regardless, the chances are, you're getting stomped out tonight.
00:13:01I'm still going out to Broadway and having those sips.
00:13:04And when it's all said and done, when it's all said and done, after AJ stomps you,
00:13:11I tell you what, you're still gonna hear everybody saying,
00:13:15AJ STOMPS!
00:13:18Yeah!
00:13:19Now, get me a referee out of here, and let's get this done.
00:13:23Oh, what an opportunity for Carmelo Hayes.
00:13:26He may not look happy, Corey, but if he can somehow pick up a win,
00:13:29if this match does indeed happen over AJ Styles,
00:13:32he may earn himself a championship opportunity.
00:13:34It is a very, very big if, but we have an official.
00:13:38Charles Robbins is in the ring.
00:13:40Styles and Hayes next.
00:13:45Then.
00:13:50Now.
00:13:56Forever.
00:14:00Together.
00:14:06Together.
00:14:10And we are back live on Friday Night Smackdown from Nashville.
00:14:13AJ Styles in his return to a WWE ring for the first time since June
00:14:18against the upstart Carmelo Hayes.
00:14:20The United States Champion, LA Knight, is at ringside.
00:14:22This is what's at stake for Hayes, Corey.
00:14:24Knock off Styles.
00:14:25LA Knight, he's gonna talk to the general manager to give Carmelo Hayes
00:14:29the United States Championship match.
00:14:31Of course, leave it to the megastar LA Knight to sweeten the pot even more,
00:14:34as though there needed to be any sweeter.
00:14:36This is Carmelo Hayes one-on-one with one of the greatest to ever
00:14:39step foot in a ring, the phenomenal AJ Styles.
00:14:42What Carmelo Hayes could possibly do tonight could make all of the difference
00:14:46in his career, knocking off a surefire future Hall of Famer like Styles.
00:14:50When AJ's first night back, that is a massive potential feather
00:14:54in the cap of Carmelo Hayes.
00:14:55Carmelo Hayes tied three wins apiece in his big battle against Andrade,
00:14:59taking the fight now to AJ Styles, the former two-time WWE Champion.
00:15:03Put the shoe on the other foot for a moment.
00:15:05You'd have to imagine that AJ Styles, freshly coming back to Smackdown,
00:15:08would love an opportunity in the future to become United States Champion
00:15:11yet again, particularly at the expense of the man who defeated him
00:15:14at WrestleMania, LA Knight.
00:15:16Speaking of championships, you have to wonder, Corey,
00:15:18what Carmelo Hayes thinks about his old running buddy,
00:15:21Trick Williams, winning the NXT Championship over Ethan Page
00:15:24on the debut of NXT in the CW this past Tuesday night.
00:15:28Congratulations to everybody at NXT.
00:15:30An unbelievable night we all got to enjoy together.
00:15:33Right now, Carmelo Hayes, dropkick by Styles.
00:15:36AJ Styles and Nashville have had a love affair over the years.
00:15:40It was back all the way in the year 2000, Corey,
00:15:43where AJ Styles debuted in this city as part of the NWA Anniversary Show.
00:15:48He won a TNAX title here, an NWA Championship here,
00:15:52Tag Team titles here as well.
00:15:54AJ Styles loves wrestling in Nashville.
00:15:57I was in the building the very first night they were here in Nashville.
00:16:00But Carmelo Hayes now has an opportunity to really separate himself from the pack.
00:16:05We talked a lot over recent weeks between Hayes and Andrade
00:16:08and how crowded the middle of the card is right now,
00:16:11particularly potential challenges for LA Knight's Championship.
00:16:14A win tonight would definitely do that for Carmelo Hayes.
00:16:17Well, you mentioned AJ Styles.
00:16:18He's a former three-time United States Champion in his own right.
00:16:24And AJ Styles has enough respect for this industry.
00:16:27AJ knows he's got to climb his way back up the ladder.
00:16:30AJ doesn't expect to just walk in the door and receive a WWE Championship opportunity.
00:16:35AJ knows that the card—
00:16:37Whoa, look out!
00:16:38Oh, and Styles and Carmelo Hayes!
00:16:42My God, cover by Hayes!
00:16:44Styles kicks out, but what a move by the uber-athletic Carmelo Hayes.
00:16:48What I was in the process of saying is AJ realizes that the landscape has changed
00:16:53just in the short few months that AJ's been away.
00:16:55Carmelo Hayes wants to bear the flag.
00:16:57Cover here by Hayes.
00:16:58Floats into the cover, and Styles gets the shoulder up.
00:17:00Now, AJ Styles, he has had some in-ring action over the summer.
00:17:04The much ballyhooed and publicity-driven matchup, of course,
00:17:09in pro wrestling NOAH.
00:17:11The big matchup there in Japan.
00:17:13Styles back in action here in WWE.
00:17:16We'll make no mistake about it.
00:17:18AJ Styles always keeps his skill set razor sharp,
00:17:21whether it be here in WWE or somewhere else around the globe.
00:17:23My point is, AJ was able to take a step back from the madness of WWE
00:17:28to recalibrate himself, to find himself, to let his body heal a little bit.
00:17:32After 20-plus years in the ring, you're going to have some nagging injuries,
00:17:36no matter how good you are.
00:17:37And now he's in the ring with one of the bright, young superstars in WWE today.
00:17:42You may not like his attitude.
00:17:45Oh, and Styles dropped right in front of the United States champion.
00:17:50Carmelo Hayes in control.
00:17:53As our matchup continues.
00:17:56And we are back live on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:17:58Now, you notice a half crab in here for Carmelo Hayes and AJ Styles.
00:18:01There is a reason that Carmelo Hayes is now focused on the leg of AJ Styles.
00:18:06During the matchup, before the break, AJ got hurt.
00:18:10The doctor checked on him during the commercial break,
00:18:12checking his left leg and ankle.
00:18:14Now, as the doc went back to the ringside area,
00:18:16he told Corey and I that it's a possible sprained ankle for AJ Styles in his return tonight.
00:18:22So, Carmelo Hayes focused his offense now on the leg.
00:18:25And this is just terrible happenstance for AJ Styles.
00:18:27Just a few minutes before this matchup began,
00:18:29you could see how much offense AJ took to Carmelo calling him a quitter.
00:18:33Styles would rather drop dead in the ring than quit in the middle of a match ever again.
00:18:38And Styles now having trouble, of course, bouncing on that leg,
00:18:41but still able to deliver offense on Carmelo Hayes.
00:18:45AJ Styles, he looks to reforge his legacy on Friday Night SmackDown
00:18:49as Carmelo Hayes looks to create his own legacy.
00:18:52But AJ is in a bad, bad way.
00:18:54Bad, bad way on one good leg right now.
00:18:57Yeah, Styles who once held the WWE Championship for 371 days.
00:19:02Oh, that made it worse.
00:19:04Back of the neck, and again, the bad.
00:19:06And that's the worst part.
00:19:08AJ at this point may be a danger to himself.
00:19:11AJ went for a maneuver we have watched him perform hundreds,
00:19:14if not thousands of times, this back breaker, the neck breaker,
00:19:17whatever you want to call it.
00:19:18And instead of AJ's leg holding up, it buckled.
00:19:21This could be catastrophic for the phenomenal.
00:19:23And Charles Robinson now sending AJ to the corner.
00:19:26And Styles is calling for the bell.
00:19:28And this is unfortunate, but this is what you've got to do.
00:19:34And the Doc is going to head over to the ring.
00:19:36Referee Charles Robinson saying that this matchup is over
00:19:40after the injury to Styles' leg.
00:19:43Listen, this is the unfortunate part of our business.
00:19:46Injuries do happen.
00:19:48Ring rust may have played a factor.
00:19:50We talked about how AJ likes to keep his skill set razor sharp at all times.
00:19:55But a layoff is a layoff.
00:19:57Your body is going to react differently.
00:19:59AJ obviously was not in the same shape that he believed that he was.
00:20:02Or at least AJ's brain and his body weren't on the same page.
00:20:05This is where we're speculating.
00:20:07We think the injury may have occurred.
00:20:09AJ coming up.
00:20:12Yeah, that could have been it right there.
00:20:14And then this is where everything went south.
00:20:17AJ unable to support his own weight to drive Hayes down across.
00:20:21And now AJ Styles visibly upset.
00:20:23Ladies and gentlemen, AJ Styles is no longer able to compete.
00:20:28Therefore, the winner of the match is Carmella.
00:20:32But wait a minute, LA Knight with a BFT to Hayes.
00:20:35Drops him right on the top of his head.
00:20:41Well, LA Knight certainly lifted morale here in Nashville.
00:20:45But I don't know if that was necessary.
00:20:48Carmella Hayes went toe-to-toe with one of the all-time greats.
00:20:52A wild turn of events put him in.
00:20:54That's what this is all about.
00:20:56Anything can happen in WWE.
00:20:57Styles could not finish the match.
00:20:59Hayes gets the victory.
00:21:00But this is about as close as you're about to get.
00:21:02So I guess that means if LA Knight keeps his promise,
00:21:05Carmella Hayes is going to earn himself the United States Championship opportunity.
00:21:09One would assume that would be the case.
00:21:11It's a terrible turn of events.
00:21:13It's great to see AJ Styles, one of the all-time greats, go down with an injury.
00:21:16We'll keep you posted as those updates become available.
00:21:18Yeah, we'll try to get some updates from the doctor as soon as we can.
00:21:21But changing gears now to what happens 24 hours from now in Hotlanta.
00:21:26It is bad blood.
00:21:27It is a very special start time on Peacock of 6 Eastern and 3 Pacific.
00:21:32In the main event, the return of Roman Reigns to a WWE ring
00:21:37in a match for the first time since WrestleMania.
00:21:40When he teams up with his once arch rival Cody Rhodes against the Bloodline.
00:21:51Sola Sokoa has made the challenge for a tag team match of bad blood.
00:21:56Sola Sokoa and Jacob Fatu.
00:21:59This is Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.
00:22:06Just tell me what you want.
00:22:09I want your word that you will have my back so that I can have yours.
00:22:17I give you my word.
00:22:19The Bloodline is going to tear the meat off the bones of the champion.
00:22:25The OTC is here.
00:22:32I'll have your back.
00:22:34But just understand this.
00:22:36When it's all done, I'm taking back what's mine.
00:22:49It's not yours to take.
00:22:52Can Cody Rhodes trust Roman Reigns against Sola and Jacob of the Bloodline?
00:22:59Cody, you should trust me because you're going to need me.
00:23:07Can Sola Sokoa make sure there is no question that he is the tribal chief?
00:23:14Can Roman Reigns come back and prove that he is the OTC?
00:23:19Can Cody Rhodes trust Roman Reigns?
00:23:22We find out tomorrow night at Bad Blood, a special start time of 6 Eastern, 3 Pacific on Peacock.
00:23:29Sola and Jacob tomorrow night.
00:23:31Tonight, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa defending their WWE Tag Team Championships against D.I.Y.
00:23:39Ciampa and Gargano, two men who have been to the top of the tag team mountain and tonight look to return via use of the ladder.
00:23:46But the Street Profits have the same goal, triple threat ladder match for the tag team gold in the main event.
00:23:51And here it comes, the dumpster on its way into the arena.
00:23:55You know why garbage collectors are great partners?
00:23:58Why?
00:23:59They always pick up what you drop.
00:24:02Chelsea may get dropped in the dumpster versus Meechan.
00:24:05Dumpster match next.
00:24:07The dumpster got an entrance, Cole.
00:24:12Ladies and gentlemen, tonight after SmackDown, don't miss the reboot from Jordan Peele and Monkey Paul.
00:24:17Productions of a prank show so scary, it's funny.
00:24:21The Scare Tactics series premiere is up next on USA.
00:24:26Nothing funny about what's coming up here.
00:24:28It's going to be a lot of talking rubbish.
00:24:31It's a dumpster match.
00:24:33Here's our ring announcer, Alicia Taylor.
00:24:37The following contest is a dumpster match.
00:24:45There are no disqualifications and no count outs.
00:24:51The only way to win is to place your opponent inside the dumpster and close the lid.
00:25:04It's Chelsea Green.
00:25:08You don't think they could have at least sanitized the dumpster, maybe hosed it down, emptied it out.
00:25:13This is going to be dangerous and disgusting.
00:25:16I hope she gets dumped in the dumpster, Chelsea Green.
00:25:23Introducing first, from Victoria, BC, Chelsea Green.
00:25:34This woman had the audacity on social media to name me Michael the McMasty McMasterson.
00:25:40Yeah, I know, I was going to use it. I'm a little ashamed you disarmed me.
00:25:43You took the bullets out of my gun, Cole.
00:25:45I was ready to repeat ad nauseum that name.
00:25:49Hey, can we just take a second to appreciate the trashin', not fashion, trashin' being displayed by Chelsea Green.
00:25:57Who, by the way, comes from a long lineage of sanitation workers in British Columbia, Michael Cole.
00:26:02Where did you get that information?
00:26:04Chelsea told me. She spoke to her Uncle Gene about this.
00:26:07I heard that she was a direct descendant of Fred Sanford.
00:26:10Wow, I'm just barely old enough to get that reference.
00:26:16Don't be trashy, keep it classy, Chelsea.
00:26:26And her opponent, from Fontana, California, Mee Chin.
00:26:35Mee Chin said that I am everything that Chelsea Green is not.
00:26:40And now, you're entering my world, Princess.
00:26:44We go back, we know each other, get ready to be dumped.
00:26:49Let's show you how this all came about, this dumpster match idea.
00:26:55It might be my first win.
00:27:14I've been in that alleyway before.
00:27:24It's Mee Chin and Chelsea in a dumpster match.
00:27:26Now, all joking aside, this is a serious situation.
00:27:28Anything goes. You can use weapons, like Mee Chin has the kendo stick, and she gives Chelsea one of her own.
00:27:32You win by dumping your opponent in the dumpster and closing the lid entirely.
00:27:37Which, again, is a hazard in and of itself. It's a dumpster.
00:27:41It's not some special WWE dumpster, it's a dumpster.
00:27:45It's a regulation sanitation dumpster.
00:27:47Someone's body could be badly injured utilizing that thing, trying to dump someone in it.
00:27:52We do know this, Chelsea Green's been doing some dumpster diving as of late.
00:27:58It's training, Cole.
00:28:00Oh, sorry. She did say that Mee Chin is nasty, she's slimy, she's trashy, and she stinks.
00:28:08And she calls Mee Chin a bully.
00:28:12Right now, Mee Chin is painting Chelsea Green in a very positive light, because Mee Chin is doing exactly what Chelsea accused her of.
00:28:18It is an historic night. First ever dumpster match on SmackDown.
00:28:21First ever women's dumpster match in history.
00:28:24This is not a table match.
00:28:26Yeah, but you can use anything you want.
00:28:28Remember the first dumpster match all the way back in WrestleMania 1998?
00:28:31Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie beat the New Age Outlaws to win the tag title.
00:28:37Oh, my goodness!
00:28:39I saw Road Dogg last week, and he was actually crying about how brutal that match was, and nobody appreciated it.
00:28:44And Chelsea sent right back into the ring by Mee Chin.
00:28:48We saw DX and the Dudleys battle it out in 2000.
00:28:52The most recent one, 2017, Kalisto and Braun Strowman.
00:28:55Finishable dropkick by Mee Chin, driving Chelsea Green out of the ring.
00:29:00Mee Chin has really turned it on as of late, Corey.
00:29:02I agree with you. We've seen a side of Mee Chin that we have not seen until semi-recently.
00:29:06It's served her extremely well.
00:29:08Now, Chelsea hanging on for dear life, trying to avoid the humiliation, the embarrassment of being dumped in a dumpster on global television.
00:29:17Both these women, former TNA champions.
00:29:20As Chelsea drives Mee Chin face first.
00:29:23Chelsea's in control.
00:29:25Hey, you've got to fit it to win it.
00:29:31Chelsea Green has been extremely impressive in this dumpster match versus Mee Chin.
00:29:36Remember, you win when you dump your opponent in the garbage dumpster and close the lid.
00:29:40Mee Chin teetering on the verge of disaster right now.
00:29:43And here comes Ms. Green.
00:29:45Chelsea looking to put her away.
00:29:46And Mee Chin able to duck underneath and deliver a couple of right hands.
00:29:50And Mee Chin trying to fight back into this.
00:29:52Oh, what a tornado DDT.
00:29:56Spectacular offense from Mee Chin into a German suplex.
00:30:01Chelsea Green all out of sorts right now.
00:30:06Mee Chin could be looking for eat defeat.
00:30:08Oh, and Chelsea able to hang on.
00:30:10Great counter by Green.
00:30:14Chelsea going to be able to turn the tide.
00:30:16Oh, the Canadian destroyer.
00:30:19Dropping Mee Chin into Chelsea Green's like, I can't believe I just hit that.
00:30:23But again, there's no pinfall.
00:30:24You've got to dump the opponent into the dumpster.
00:30:26Oh, here we go.
00:30:28Oh, my God.
00:30:29Oh, my God.
00:30:30Mee Chin in the dumpster.
00:30:31Chelsea Green has to close the lid to win this matchup.
00:30:34Finish the story, Chelsea.
00:30:40Oh, and Mee Chin trying to block.
00:30:42Mee Chin trying to block.
00:30:43And she does.
00:30:45She does.
00:30:46Oh, my God.
00:30:47And Mee Chin now.
00:30:48Trash bags in hand.
00:30:50I hope that's a hefty bang to Chelsea again.
00:30:56You know what, Mee Chin?
00:30:57If life gives you garbage, you make compost.
00:30:59And that's what she's doing here to Chelsea Green.
00:31:05Chelsea almost picked up the win here.
00:31:11No, Chelsea just trying to survive.
00:31:19And now the cable stance.
00:31:21Oh, Nashville.
00:31:22Nashville.
00:31:23Get a hold of yourself, Nashville.
00:31:26And now, oh, Chelsea Green able to duck underneath.
00:31:29We're going to put Mee Chin away with the unpretty hurr.
00:31:33Mee Chin counters.
00:31:34A defeat.
00:31:37Mee Chin could be thinking about a cover,
00:31:38but she needs to chuck Ms. Green into the dumpster.
00:31:42Little payback.
00:31:43Little payback.
00:31:44Remember what Nia Jax did to Mee Chin.
00:31:48Mee Chin now perched on the ropes.
00:31:52Payback to Chelsea.
00:31:54Black.
00:31:56Oh, my God.
00:32:02Absolute brutality.
00:32:04Mee Chin sacrificing her own body
00:32:08to inflict punishment on Chelsea Green.
00:32:10But what about Chelsea doing her best impersonation of Oscar?
00:32:15I think she'd be more like...
00:32:17Oscar's got a girlfriend.
00:32:19Grangetta, I think, is her name.
00:32:21I'm serious.
00:32:23Mee Chin now with a table across the dumpster.
00:32:26Not quite sure what she's thinking about here.
00:32:28Well, I guess I am now.
00:32:30Oh, no.
00:32:31Things are about to go from bad to worse for Chelsea Green.
00:32:35Mee Chin showing the WWE Universe...
00:32:37Oh!
00:32:38What the hell was that?
00:32:39Oh!
00:32:40Piper Niven.
00:32:41Piper Niven.
00:32:42We are in Nashville.
00:32:43I thought it was Walter White for a second.
00:32:45And Niven...
00:32:49With a senton to Mee Chin.
00:32:51And remember, no disqualifications.
00:32:53Right on, cowgirl.
00:32:54I think she's been in tootsies most of the day.
00:32:57And Mee Chin...
00:32:58Into the dumpster goes Mee Chin.
00:33:01This is a dumpster fire tonight.
00:33:04Mee Chin and Chelsea Green
00:33:06both still technically alive in this matchup.
00:33:09It's anyone's match.
00:33:11Yeah, because you've got to put your opponent into the dumpster
00:33:13and close the lid.
00:33:14And Chelsea has barely moved an inch
00:33:17since being smashed inside of the trash can
00:33:21by the senton of Mee Chin.
00:33:23D-Von and Bubba would be happy seeing that table.
00:33:25They were in a dumpster fire.
00:33:26Oh, no!
00:33:27Mee Chin trying to hang on.
00:33:28Chelsea Green desperately trying to win this match.
00:33:33Uh-oh, uh-oh.
00:33:34This will do it.
00:33:35And Mee Chin able to block.
00:33:38Mee Chin blocks again.
00:33:43Blocked.
00:33:45Oh, no!
00:33:46No, no, no, no, no!
00:33:49Oh, my God!
00:33:50Chelsea Green!
00:33:53No!
00:33:55Through the table into the dumpster!
00:33:58Both women are in the dumpster.
00:34:02Who's going to have Mee Chin crawling out of the wreckage?
00:34:06Mee Chin trying to...
00:34:07She's got to close the lid now to win this match.
00:34:11Oh, no, this has got to be humiliating.
00:34:15The lid is closed.
00:34:17Mee Chin wins.
00:34:21Here is your winner!
00:34:24Mee Chin!
00:34:27Chelsea got dumped.
00:34:30Chelsea Green messed around with the wrong woman
00:34:33and found out.
00:34:35Mee Chin was tired of the embarrassment,
00:34:38tired of the humiliation,
00:34:40and returned the favor in extremely painful fashion.
00:34:45Look at this thunderous powerbomb
00:34:47off of the apron,
00:34:49through a table,
00:34:50into the dumpster.
00:34:52And that was the beginning of the end for Chelsea Green.
00:34:55Mee Chin with a big win here tonight
00:34:58on Friday Night SmackDown
00:35:00in the first ever women's dumpster match.
00:35:03Oh, man, this is a tragedy for Chelsea.
00:35:08This is horrid.
00:35:09Oh, my God.
00:35:11Well, that dumpster's overflowing with potential.
00:35:14Clean up your act, it's been too long!
00:35:17No!
00:35:20I am, I am, I am.
00:35:22Well, there we see the phenomenal
00:35:25AJ Styles being checked out by our doctor.
00:35:28The current reports
00:35:30are that AJ is suffering from some sort of left ankle injury.
00:35:34He has been taken to a local hospital for x-rays.
00:35:37This video package taken moments ago backstage.
00:35:40Again, AJ Styles being evaluated and x-rayed
00:35:43at a local hospital
00:35:45for a potential left ankle injury.
00:35:47Break, break, break.
00:35:51Hey!
00:35:53Hey, it's been so good seeing you.
00:35:55I can't wait to see you get ready for the big show tonight.
00:35:58Yes, and I know you ready to give Miss Tiffy time
00:36:00to Tiffy business tonight.
00:36:02Oh, yes, because she always talking mess.
00:36:04All the time.
00:36:05But anyway, enough about her.
00:36:07Let's talk about these beautiful titles my girls earned back.
00:36:10Look at Tosh.
00:36:11Rub my, rub my, rub my.
00:36:13Listen, we appreciate you, sister.
00:36:14Listen, after you get that big dub tonight,
00:36:16we are going to My Step and Growth in ATL to turn up.
00:36:21We?
00:36:22Girl, we not speaking French, we?
00:36:23Yes, we, we, we, we, because we just talked to Nick
00:36:26and he told us tomorrow night
00:36:27the three of us are hosting Bad Blood together.
00:36:31No way!
00:36:32Yes!
00:36:33I'm coming in.
00:36:34Let me see you do the A-Town stuff.
00:36:37Okay.
00:36:38Do the A-Town stuff.
00:36:40Cut, cut, no, cut.
00:36:42Sorry.
00:36:43Congratulations.
00:36:44Congratulations.
00:36:45Let me talk to my girl real quick, okay?
00:36:46You know what?
00:36:47We'll see you tomorrow.
00:36:48Well, Red, see you tomorrow.
00:36:49We'll let you know.
00:36:50Call me when you guys.
00:36:51Sorry to interrupt.
00:36:52Look, I just want to reassure you what we talked about last week.
00:36:55I'm about to go out there and call Naya and tell her to her face
00:36:58that I'm going to beat her tomorrow night at Bad Blood,
00:37:01and when I do, you're number one in line, okay?
00:37:04I promise.
00:37:05I'm going to hold you to it.
00:37:07All right, I'm going to bring the title to the after party.
00:37:09I'll see you there?
00:37:10You better.
00:37:11Oh, I'll see you after you win tonight, right?
00:37:12Yes.
00:37:13Finally looks to call out the WWE Women's Champion, Naya Jax, next.
00:37:19Liberty Mutual.
00:37:21Ladies and gentlemen, it was at Bad Blood in 1997 in St. Louis, Missouri,
00:37:27where Kane debuted.
00:37:29Well, Kane, Bad Blood, 1997 debut.
00:37:32Funko Pop available now exclusively at www.shop.com.
00:37:37So, guess what?
00:37:38What's that?
00:37:39We're heading to Atlanta, of course, tomorrow night for Bad Blood.
00:37:41And this went out on X earlier today.
00:37:43Metro Boomin said, Triple H knows who I am.
00:37:46Triple H is damn straight.
00:37:48See you tomorrow.
00:37:49I cannot wait.
00:37:50Metro Boomin going to be at Bad Blood.
00:37:53What about Moneybagg Yo?
00:37:55I think Triple H should have given you credit for telling him who Metro Boomin is.
00:37:58Oh, yeah.
00:37:59What a big hip-hop guy you are.
00:38:00Are you?
00:38:03Well, we're in Nashville, and that, of course, is the world-famous Broadway.
00:38:08Home to Tootsies and many other bars Corey and I have frequented over the years.
00:38:14And that's the home tonight of Friday night SmackDown
00:38:17and hanging high above the ring, the WWE Tag Team Championship.
00:38:20For the first time in five years on SmackDown,
00:38:22it is a ladder match, a triple threat ladder match,
00:38:25to determine the tag team titles.
00:38:27Can this team pick up the win?
00:38:32Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins know what it means to be tag team champions.
00:38:36They've come up just short a few times recently.
00:38:39Can the Profits get the smoke?
00:38:41We'll find out tonight.
00:38:42There's a woman on a quest for gold of her own.
00:38:56Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Bayley.
00:39:09Bayley knocked off her good friend Naomi last week to earn this opportunity.
00:39:13Tomorrow night in Atlanta, WWE Battle 1.
00:39:18Bayley looks to take the WWE Women's Championship from Nia Jax.
00:39:23She lost the title to Jax back at SummerSlam.
00:39:26I want to remind everyone a special start time tomorrow night of 6 p.m. Eastern,
00:39:323 p.m. Pacific.
00:39:34One of the matches you'll see at Battle 1, Nia Jax-Bayley for the women's title.
00:39:40In just 24 hours, I have the opportunity to win the WWE Women's Championship back,
00:39:59so I'm not going to waste anyone's time.
00:40:01I'm going to get right to it.
00:40:03Nia Jax, I'm calling you out.
00:40:05I'm in your ring, queen.
00:40:07You can even bring Tiffany.
00:40:09Come on.
00:40:10I got something to say to your face.
00:40:17Let's go, queen.
00:40:19Champ.
00:40:22We're on tippy time.
00:40:28Queen Nia Jax operates on her own time.
00:40:33Of course, accompanied by her bestie, Miss Money in the Bank, Tiffany Stratton.
00:40:41There's a kind of law that when you're a blonde woman and you come to Nashville,
00:40:44you have to wear a cowboy hat and boots at all times.
00:40:46I believe so.
00:40:49Nia Jax is champion today.
00:40:51Many will say because of Tiffany Stratton and the distraction back at SummerSlam.
00:40:55That's because many are eager to discredit the hard work and the championship
00:40:59that was earned by the irresistible force, Nia Jax, after becoming queen of the ring.
00:41:05Nia has been on an absolute tear recently,
00:41:08and anybody who refuses to give Jax her credit is sadly mistaken.
00:41:122024 has been the best year of Nia Jax's career by far.
00:41:20It looks to continue that.
00:41:22Summer all night at Bad Blood.
00:41:32Bailey, you got something to say.
00:41:36Say it straight to my face.
00:41:43I do, and actually that's why I called you out, Nia.
00:41:47Because for as long as I've known you,
00:41:51you've never understood the significance of this title right here.
00:41:54You've never understood the importance of this championship around your shoulder,
00:41:58for what it means to everybody out here, for what it means to people like me,
00:42:03people who grew up loving it,
00:42:05people who grew up wanting nothing more than to hold this championship.
00:42:11You see, I sat at home and I sat in the crowd
00:42:14and I grew up watching people hold that title,
00:42:17like Molly Holly, like Victoria, like Beth Phoenix, Natalia, Trish, Lita.
00:42:25All of those women made that title seem like they were larger than life,
00:42:30that they were more than human.
00:42:33And that ain't you.
00:42:38But as much as it pains me to admit there's one thing that they weren't.
00:42:43They've never had a dominant championship run like you have right now.
00:42:48And I'll admit that, Nia.
00:42:50You're on to become one of the most dominant,
00:42:53if not the most dominant women in all of WWE.
00:43:02But the facts are, there are two people in the WWE
00:43:07that can take that from you right now.
00:43:09One of them is me, tomorrow night, one-on-one at Bad Blood,
00:43:13and I plan to take that championship straight off her shoulder.
00:43:21And the second one is your old friend Tiffy Stratton over here.
00:43:32And trust me, it ain't because she's good enough.
00:43:36It's because of the briefcase she has in her hand, that thing right there.
00:43:40Yeah, and the moment she gets tired of you talking down to her,
00:43:43the moment she gets tired of you berating her,
00:43:47she's going to grab that title and hit you right in the back of the head,
00:43:51cash it in, and become the new WWE Women's Champion.
00:43:55Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.
00:44:01I'm sorry, I need to say something.
00:44:05Are you saying that I'm not good enough?
00:44:08Are you saying the only reason why I could beat Nia is because of this briefcase?
00:44:16I don't need this briefcase to beat Nia.
00:44:19Excuse me?
00:44:22I mean, why would I ever think of doing something like that?
00:44:26I mean, she just has me so angry, I'm sorry.
00:44:29You know what?
00:44:31You know what, Pam, Bayley?
00:44:34Instead of sitting here and trying to break us up,
00:44:41why don't you bow down to your queen?
00:44:49You want me to bow down to Nia?
00:44:53You know what, Tiff, you're out of your mind.
00:44:55I mean, as much as I don't agree with how Nia conducts herself,
00:44:59I can at least appreciate and respect how dominant she's been,
00:45:02whereas you, I have zero respect for.
00:45:06I'd rather bow down to a queen than patronize a stupid bitch.
00:45:12Oh, wow.
00:45:14And Tiffany Upset went after Bayley with the briefcase,
00:45:17and now Nia from behind.
00:45:19Oh, sparks flying.
00:45:21Bayley made the crucial mistake of taking her eyes off of the irresistible force.
00:45:28And Nia Jax making a statement.
00:45:31Oh, my goodness.
00:45:32And Bayley rolling out of harm's way.
00:45:36And Bayley hell-bent on taking the championship tomorrow night.
00:45:42Looks like Bayley going to deliver on her own prophecy.
00:45:46Yeah, Bayley said it would be strategy with this,
00:45:48but Bayley using the briefcase and now sending a message to the champion.
00:45:55Will Bayley win another women's championship tomorrow night in Atlanta?
00:46:05This has got to be embarrassing for Nia Jax
00:46:08as Bayley gets the last laugh tonight.
00:46:14Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:46:18There's an official Jessica Carr in the ring.
00:46:21Tiffany Stratton with a contract in hand.
00:46:24Nia Jax has been taken out by Bayley.
00:46:26What is Stratton thinking here?
00:46:30There's an official Jessica Carr in the ring.
00:46:32Tiffany Stratton with a contract in hand.
00:46:35Nia Jax has been taken out by Bayley.
00:46:37What is Stratton thinking here?
00:47:01What is Stratton thinking here?
00:47:07Well, it may be just a matter of time
00:47:09before Tiffany Stratton decides to cash in the contract,
00:47:12but right now she's got to worry about her opponent here tonight
00:47:15who she talked trash to last week
00:47:18and ended up with this one-on-one match.
00:47:24The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:47:28Breaking her way to the ring,
00:47:30from Orlando, Florida,
00:47:33Naomi!
00:47:36Feel the glow on SmackDown,
00:47:38Naomi Tiffany Stratton.
00:47:40The one-on-one live next from Nashville.
00:47:44She's got a cowboy hat on, too.
00:47:47Definitely a law.
00:47:58It's not that bad.
00:48:01How does it ever go wrong with Jessica?
00:48:03Step or trade, step or trade.
00:48:06Oh!
00:48:08Ellie, what is that spellie?
00:48:10My eyes are burning!
00:48:12Looking great, Chelsea.
00:48:16It's a lesson today, honestly, it's fake.
00:48:18It's like my third worst one.
00:48:22Oh, man, my cake stinks.
00:48:24That's Chelsea Green!
00:48:29Oh, my God.
00:48:36She's not doing this out.
00:48:46Chelsea, sorry about that result.
00:48:48That really stinks.
00:48:50Mitchon really did you dirty with that.
00:48:52Sorry, I don't want to recycle any more of these puns.
00:48:54Is that something you need?
00:48:55Besides a shower?
00:49:03Hey, what's up, boss?
00:49:05You heard LA Knight.
00:49:07I beat AJ Styles fair and square,
00:49:08so, uh, when we go get that title match,
00:49:10I'm thinking of Bad Blood,
00:49:11maybe WrestleMania.
00:49:13You're gonna stand there with a straight face
00:49:15and call that a win?
00:49:17Listen, the only thing I care about right now
00:49:20is checking on AJ Styles,
00:49:21so I'm gonna go do that,
00:49:22and you and I can talk next week.
00:49:24All right?
00:49:35And tonight's Fancy Upgrade
00:49:37is presented by Wheatley American Vodka.
00:49:39Award-winning, yes, but never too fancy
00:49:42for a backyard barbecue.
00:49:45Meanwhile, in the ring here tonight,
00:49:47in Nashville, Tiffany Stratton.
00:49:49Naomi, one-on-one on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:49:52This has been quite the rivalry between these two.
00:49:56Tiffany Stratton eliminated Naomi
00:49:59all the way back in February in Australia
00:50:01in the Elimination Chamber match.
00:50:04Naomi, of course, a very close personal friend of Bayley.
00:50:07Oh, a nice takedown by Naomi and hammered away now
00:50:10on Tiffany Stratton.
00:50:11Naomi was in that Money in the Bank ladder match
00:50:13that Tiffany Stratton won back in July.
00:50:16Far be it for me to sow these seeds of dissension
00:50:19that everyone seems to be so eager to sow,
00:50:21but Tiffany Stratton appeared as though
00:50:24she was at least considering
00:50:25cashing in her Money in the Bank contract
00:50:27on Nia Jax a few moments ago.
00:50:29Am I wrong?
00:50:30No, you're not wrong,
00:50:31and remember Nia and Bayley
00:50:32have a championship match tomorrow night
00:50:34at Bad Blood.
00:50:35Would Tiffany Stratton perhaps
00:50:37think about cashing in tomorrow?
00:50:38Naomi with that running clothesline.
00:50:41I mean, I don't think I should be the one
00:50:42to remind Tiffany Stratton,
00:50:44but you've also got Liv Morgan from Monday Night Raw,
00:50:46the Women's World Champion.
00:50:47You've also got Roxanne Perez,
00:50:49the NXT Women's Champion.
00:50:50You could cash in your Money in the Bank contract
00:50:52for a full year on any champion you want.
00:50:54Well, first off, that's a great point.
00:50:55Liv's got Rhea tomorrow night
00:50:56with Dominic inside of Shark Tank.
00:50:58Maybe Tiffany Stratton cashes in on one of those.
00:51:01And you mentioned Roxanne Perez,
00:51:02successful in the NXT debut on the CW this past Tuesday,
00:51:06knocking off Julia with the turn of Cora Jade.
00:51:11Oh, and Naomi now
00:51:12kicks right to the midsection of Tiffany Stratton.
00:51:15Again, that contract you can cash in any time
00:51:17for a championship opportunity.
00:51:19And Naomi into the cover,
00:51:21hook of the leg, and a kick out.
00:51:23Speaking of championship opportunities, Corey,
00:51:25Naomi's extremely frustrated last week
00:51:28after Bayley beat her to win the championship opportunity
00:51:31against Nia Jax.
00:51:32Bayley's very happy, though,
00:51:34that Naomi gave her her blessing
00:51:36going into that matchup.
00:51:37I think many people, myself included,
00:51:39believe Naomi's day in the sun is yet to come.
00:51:42Naomi still has a lot that's changed
00:51:44since she went away from WWE for quite some time.
00:51:47The landscape has changed,
00:51:48the talent roster has changed,
00:51:50the level of competition.
00:51:51Cover, hook of the leg, off the suplex,
00:51:53and a kick out.
00:51:54The level of competition has adapted, evolved,
00:51:57got stronger, got faster.
00:51:58You've got an upstart like Tiffany Stratton
00:52:00making a lot of waves,
00:52:01and Naomi's still trying to figure out
00:52:03where she fits in.
00:52:04Yeah, Naomi, a former two-time all-women's champion.
00:52:07Remember, Bayley did tell Naomi, though,
00:52:10hey, listen, if I knock off Nia, bad blood,
00:52:12you'll be first in line for an opportunity.
00:52:14Tiffany Stratton.
00:52:15Wow, what a move!
00:52:17Knees off the top rope, cover on Naomi,
00:52:20and a kick out.
00:52:21Stratton, an incredible athlete.
00:52:24She's powerful and stunning.
00:52:26And I think the more experience that Stratton attains,
00:52:29the more dangerous she is going to be as a competitor.
00:52:32Naomi with a kick to Stratton,
00:52:34already holding the Money in the Bank briefcase,
00:52:36makes her arguably the most dangerous woman
00:52:38in all of WWE from a contractual standpoint.
00:52:42But once Tiffany figures things out
00:52:44and really gets comfortable inside the ring,
00:52:46she is going to be a force for a long time.
00:52:52And now Naomi, oh, with a kick
00:52:53right to the back of the neck of Stratton.
00:52:55And with that said, Naomi, uh-oh, oh!
00:52:58There's that leg drop.
00:53:00Naomi's smart.
00:53:01Naomi understands that the WWE Universe
00:53:03is talking about Tiffany Stratton.
00:53:05They're watching Tiffany.
00:53:06Naomi wants to take Tiffany out.
00:53:09Is it going to be Tiffany time or feel the glow?
00:53:12SmackDown continues live.
00:53:16Quite the match here on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:53:19Tiffany versus Naomi.
00:53:21We are in Nashville tonight,
00:53:22live in front of 11,171 WWE fans.
00:53:27That backpack stunner by Naomi
00:53:29just turned the tide to this matchup.
00:53:31Can Naomi capitalize?
00:53:33Yeah, Naomi hurt herself as well
00:53:34as she came down hard on the tailbone.
00:53:35And now Naomi looking to try to build momentum
00:53:38in this matchup against Miss Money in the Bank,
00:53:40Tiffany Stratton.
00:53:45Naomi back to her feet.
00:53:47And ooh, Tiffany with a right hand of her own.
00:53:51Big right by Stratton.
00:53:53Answered by Naomi.
00:53:56Been a physical night so far on SmackDown.
00:53:59Oh, Naomi caught her!
00:54:01We are showing no signs of slowing.
00:54:03Triple threat ladder match for the tag team titles
00:54:06in the main event.
00:54:09Naomi, ooh!
00:54:10Face first.
00:54:12Bulldog to Tiffany.
00:54:13Tip up by Naomi.
00:54:19Oh, and a sliding slap by Naomi.
00:54:22Insult and injury.
00:54:23Boom!
00:54:24Down goes Stratton.
00:54:26Unique move by Naomi.
00:54:27Hook of the leg now for the win.
00:54:29Right hand.
00:54:30Stratton barely gets the shoulder up.
00:54:33Looks to me like Tiffany Stratton's starting to fade.
00:54:35If Naomi somehow is able to keep her foot on the gas pedal
00:54:38just a little bit longer,
00:54:40the W may be coming Naomi's way.
00:54:43Important match in many ways for Naomi,
00:54:45especially coming off the loss last week to Bailey.
00:54:49In this day and age,
00:54:50every matchup, no matter the division,
00:54:52is important in WWE.
00:54:53Oh!
00:54:54Great turn!
00:54:55Wow!
00:54:56Look at that!
00:54:57Cover!
00:54:58Cover by Stratton!
00:54:59And a kick out!
00:55:00That was amazing!
00:55:01The gymnastic background of Tiffany Stratton
00:55:04coming into play.
00:55:05We've got to watch this again.
00:55:06Stratton able to put the brakes on in spectacular fashion
00:55:10before a drop kick right to the chin of Naomi.
00:55:13And now, Tiffy time taking control.
00:55:19And Naomi with the right hands unloading on Stratton.
00:55:21Big headbutt to the face.
00:55:23Top rope.
00:55:24Gonna fly.
00:55:26Cross body.
00:55:27Tiffany rolls through and out.
00:55:30Wow!
00:55:31The power of Stratton!
00:55:33Just powering Naomi up!
00:55:37You can't not be impressed by Tiffany Stratton's athleticism.
00:55:41And Naomi able to counter.
00:55:42She got out of that predicament.
00:55:46A kick right to the back of the head.
00:55:48Tiffany Stratton straddling Naomi.
00:55:51Tiffany Stratton's down.
00:55:52Naomi now.
00:55:53Split leg moonsault.
00:55:54Nobody home.
00:55:55Stratton moved out of the way.
00:55:58Stratton now surveying the situation.
00:56:02There it comes!
00:56:03The top rope landed and rolled through.
00:56:08Cartwheel into the corner.
00:56:10Naomi able to duck out of harm's way and catch Stratton.
00:56:17Bill Nelson applied.
00:56:19Nice takedown by Stratton into a pinning combination.
00:56:21Hook of the leg.
00:56:22Naomi rolls her over.
00:56:23Shoulders down.
00:56:25Naomi got her!
00:56:30Here is your winner, Naomi!
00:56:35What an incredible match and a very important win for Naomi.
00:56:39She picks up the victory.
00:56:41She hopes Bailey can win tomorrow night.
00:56:43So perhaps Naomi gets the title shot down the road.
00:56:45The question going into Bad Blood tomorrow night is,
00:56:48what does Tiffany Stratton do with the money in the bank briefcase?
00:56:52Again, we need to reiterate.
00:56:54Tiffany Stratton could hypothetically cash in on Nia,
00:56:57or you've got Roxanne Frizz.
00:56:59I neglected to mention Kalani Jordan,
00:57:01the NXT North American Women's Champion.
00:57:03Tiffany Stratton can use that contract at the time and place of her choosing.
00:57:07Choose wisely.
00:57:08It could be tomorrow night at Bad Blood,
00:57:10where the main event is Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes against the Bloodline.
00:57:14Let's take it back to SmackDown.
00:57:15Last week, we kicked off the show with the Bloodline
00:57:18in a verbal battle with KL, Orton, and Rhodes.
00:57:23It doesn't have to just be a tag team match.
00:57:26There are three of us standing in the ring.
00:57:28No, no, no, no, actually, no offense.
00:57:30You have your tag team match against them at Bad Blood,
00:57:32and you've got your partner for that.
00:57:34Tonight, I'm talking about Solo and Jacob Fontu
00:57:37against me and Randy Orton.
00:57:39Tonight!
00:57:40Ready?
00:57:41Come on!
00:57:43A two-on-two tag match would ensue,
00:57:46but to the surprise of absolutely no one,
00:57:48the Bloodline in the numbers game would play a fact.
00:57:50And remember, you saw Rhodes come down.
00:57:53Kevin Owens said, stay out of our business.
00:57:55Randy Orton said, if we need you, come down, Cody,
00:57:57and it backfired.
00:57:58There you see an incidental contact between Cody Rhodes and our official,
00:58:02which caused some frustration for Kevin Owens
00:58:05and allowed for the Samoan werewolf to set the table
00:58:09for a solo to feast on a carcass of KO.
00:58:13Well, Kevin Owens is obviously frustrated with Rhodes.
00:58:16KO had to match up one after the stunner.
00:58:18Randy Orton allowed cooler heads to prevail.
00:58:23Or did they?
00:58:27Hey, I love my tribal chief.
00:58:31My Tongan brothers, they love our tribal chief.
00:58:36Nashville, Tennessee!
00:58:38Oh, yeah, they love our tribal chief.
00:58:41D.I.Y.
00:58:42Street Proverbs.
00:58:43Cody Rhodes.
00:58:44Hell, even Roman Reigns will love our tribal chief.
00:58:50And when you love our tribal chief,
00:58:52you learn how to respect our tribal chief.
00:58:55And when you respect our tribal chief,
00:58:57oh, Lord, you will worship our tribal chief.
00:59:01And if you don't know how to do none of those three,
00:59:03at the end of the day,
00:59:05you will acknowledge the real tribal chief solo.
00:59:16Acknowledge now.
00:59:31Well, they're the current tag team champions.
00:59:33They're not carrying the titles
00:59:34because the titles are hanging high above the ring.
00:59:38This is a Triple Threat Tag Team Ladder Match.
00:59:41Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa defending tonight.
00:59:48The following is a WWE Tag Team Championship
00:59:53Triple Threat Ladder Match.
00:59:58Introducing first, representing the Bloodline,
01:00:02they are the WWE Tag Team Champions,
01:00:08Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
01:00:17Jacob Batu and Tama Tonga won the tag titles
01:00:20from D.I.Y. back in August.
01:00:24Batu would turn the titles over to Tonga Loa
01:00:27and engage Solo Sokoa's enforcer.
01:00:30Up next, for the first time in five years,
01:00:33Ladder Match on SmackDown for the tag titles.

01:01:21I would think that you're trying to tease me
01:01:24on when you're trying to cash in.
01:01:29Maybe you should focus on Liv Morgan's
01:01:32Women's World Championship match tomorrow night
01:01:35because that's a cashing you would actually survive.
01:01:40Or, you can tell me right now

01:03:08Priest, Balor, battle it out.
01:03:11Bad Blood.
01:03:12And a rivalry months in the making.
01:03:15So bitter, so personal.
01:03:17It can only be settled in one location.
01:03:21Inside Hell in a Cell.
01:03:23Drew McIntyre finishes CM Punk.
01:03:27Or CM Punk ends Drew McIntyre.

01:04:22they're tag titles hanging above the ring.
01:04:24You climb a ladder, you grab the titles,
01:04:26you become the WWE Tag Team Champions.
01:04:30We are the world!
01:04:32We are the world!
01:04:34We are the world!
01:04:36We are the world!
01:04:38We are the world!
01:04:40We are the world!
01:04:42We are the world!
01:04:44Next, Johnny Gargano,
01:04:47and the Monster Jumper,
01:04:50D.I.Y.
01:04:54Corey, D.I.Y. were the Tag Team Champions
01:04:57back in early August,
01:04:58before they were defeated by the Bloodline.
01:05:01Gargano and Ciampa have had so much success
01:05:05side by side dating back to their time in NXT.
01:05:08Now here on SmackDown,
01:05:10they would love the chance to see the top of the mountain
01:05:13in the Tag Team Division yet again,
01:05:15but it will be no easy task tonight.
01:05:17Gargano and Ciampa have been teaming together
01:05:20for nearly a decade,
01:05:22starting back in NXT.
01:05:24They've been in two Tag Team Ladder matches
01:05:26in their career,
01:05:27so they have experience in this type of a format.
01:05:30Think about what this weekend could mean for the Bloodline.
01:05:33If Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa retain tonight,
01:05:35and tomorrow night,
01:05:36somehow Solo and Jacob Batu
01:05:39are able to knock off Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes,
01:05:41the balance of power will undeniably shift
01:05:44back into the favor of the Bloodline
01:05:46and their new tribal chief.
01:05:48They may be unstoppable.
01:05:52And these two dudes may be our last hope.
01:05:58And their opponents,
01:06:00accompanied by B-Fab,
01:06:02Angelo Dawkins,
01:06:04and Montez Ford,
01:06:06the Street Profits.
01:06:12You know, Corey,
01:06:13you gotta wonder when SmackDown gets to
01:06:15Greenville, South Carolina next week,
01:06:18whether it will be the Street Profits,
01:06:20or it will be DIY,
01:06:22or it will be the Bloodline,
01:06:24who have the WWE Tag Team titles.
01:06:27Now, here's an interesting statistic.
01:06:29The Street Profits won their first ever
01:06:32Tag Team Championship
01:06:34in a fatal four-way ladder match.
01:06:37The NXT Tag Team titles.
01:06:39They've held the RAW titles,
01:06:41the SmackDown titles,
01:06:42the NXT titles,
01:06:43but, Corey,
01:06:44Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins
01:06:46have not held gold since 2021.
01:06:49But I'll tell you what else is different
01:06:51about Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins.
01:06:53That being the presence of B-Fab.
01:06:56Since B-Fab came into the fold,
01:06:58slowly but surely,
01:06:59the Street Profits have become focused.
01:07:02They've begun training harder than before.
01:07:04Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins
01:07:06are a completely different, dare I say,
01:07:08even better tag team
01:07:10than when they were champions in the past.
01:07:12And again, no pinfalls, submissions,
01:07:14disqualifications, or countout.
01:07:16You have to set up the ladder,
01:07:17climb the ladder,
01:07:18grab the tag team titles
01:07:20to win the gold.
01:07:22You have to set the edge in this match, Corey.
01:07:25You know, it's hard to bet against the champions.
01:07:27Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa,
01:07:29seven-time IWGP Tag Team Champions in Japan.
01:07:32Wasting absolutely no time
01:07:34making their mark here
01:07:35in WWE's Tag Team division.
01:07:37You can never bet against the reigning champions.
01:07:39But, Cole, I'm honest with you
01:07:41when I say I got a feeling about the Street Profits.
01:07:44Yeah, I may agree with you on that point,
01:07:45but again, the Bloodline Brothers
01:07:47have lost, of course, the great Haku,
01:07:49and this matchup is now underway.
01:07:51No tags in this match.
01:07:52It's a free-for-all.
01:07:54All six men in the ring,
01:07:56same time, or around it, at least.
01:07:59And the Profits in DIY
01:08:01staring up at the tag titles,
01:08:03looking to fulfill their destinies
01:08:05here tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.
01:08:10Wow!
01:08:11Knee from Chapa
01:08:12to Tonga Loa.
01:08:14Poured up over the top
01:08:15and just kicked Tama Tonga
01:08:17right between the eyes.
01:08:18And Gargano now
01:08:19with a kick to Loa again.
01:08:21Keeping the Bloodline.
01:08:22It looks like that's nearly scrapped.
01:08:23Uh-oh!
01:08:24Oh, goodness!
01:08:25Dawkins running right through!
01:08:29Sign them up!
01:08:30Who's gonna win the tag team gold?
01:08:36Triple threat ladder match
01:08:37for the WWE Tag Team title.
01:08:39Street Profits, DIY,
01:08:41climbing the ladder,
01:08:42trying to grab the gold.
01:08:43They tried to take the Bloodline
01:08:44out of this matchup
01:08:45but back into the ring.
01:08:46Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa,
01:08:47now all six men
01:08:48as they battle for the tag team gold.
01:08:51Both DIY and the Street Profits
01:08:53taking their time
01:08:54climbing the ladders
01:08:55because they were both
01:08:56looking down,
01:08:57making sure that the champions
01:08:58were neutralized
01:08:59at least for the moment.
01:09:00But Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa,
01:09:02back up and factoring in yet again.
01:09:04And now the Bloodline.
01:09:05Down goes DIY
01:09:07and the Street Profits.
01:09:08Montez Ford and Dawkins
01:09:10come off the ladder
01:09:11before it's knocked over.
01:09:12The strategy early on
01:09:13for the Profits and DIY, Corey,
01:09:15was to take out the champs
01:09:16make it a two-team match.
01:09:18Bang!
01:09:19But it's a brilliant strategy
01:09:21in theory.
01:09:22In execution,
01:09:23maybe not so much.
01:09:26Montez Ford now
01:09:27flexing his outrageous athleticism.
01:09:29Look at him.
01:09:30Ford's gonna do it.
01:09:31Flying up the ladder
01:09:32but down he goes.
01:09:33Wow.
01:09:34That would have been spectacular.
01:09:36Leaping over the ladder
01:09:37is Ford.
01:09:38And that was this time
01:09:39taken out.
01:09:41The Bloodline
01:09:42using the ladders
01:09:43as a weapon.
01:09:44In a situation like this,
01:09:45in a situation like that,
01:09:46is right up
01:09:47Tama Tonga's alley
01:09:48as well as Tonga Loa.
01:09:50Yeah, very vicious.
01:09:51Very physical tag team.
01:09:58Tonga Loa.
01:09:59This is all substance,
01:10:00not about style.
01:10:01Tama Tonga now
01:10:02looking to deposit
01:10:03Champa's face
01:10:04into the ladder.
01:10:05Guerrilla warfare
01:10:06in the ring.
01:10:08And Tonga
01:10:09just bludgeoning
01:10:12Angelo Dawkins.
01:10:15Now looking to use
01:10:16the weapon again.
01:10:17The ladder.
01:10:18Into the ladder.
01:10:21Tonga up over the top.
01:10:25Surprising athleticism
01:10:27from the right-hand man
01:10:28Tama Tonga.
01:10:29The infamous Tonga Loa
01:10:31on the left of your screen.
01:10:33The bludgeon of the Bloodline.
01:10:35And the tribal chief
01:10:37Solo Sokoa
01:10:39his enforcer
01:10:40Jacob Batu.
01:10:41We know they're here.
01:10:43They're looking on
01:10:44probably with a smile on their face
01:10:45as the Bloodline
01:10:47tries to take over
01:10:48this ladder match.
01:10:49And to that point, Cole,
01:10:50if you're DIY,
01:10:51if you're the Street Profits,
01:10:52you basically had to strategize
01:10:53ahead of the time.
01:10:54It's almost a foregone conclusion
01:10:56that you're gonna battle
01:10:57more than two members
01:10:58of the Bloodline
01:10:59no matter which two you're
01:11:00technically scheduled to face.
01:11:01Well, and you saw
01:11:02in the early going
01:11:03the Profits and DIY
01:11:04almost teaming up for a bit
01:11:05in the early part
01:11:06of this ladder match
01:11:07to take out the Bloodline.
01:11:08They realize the danger.
01:11:09They realize what's at stake.
01:11:12All the teams in this match
01:11:13have held tag team gold.
01:11:15They understand
01:11:16the importance of it.
01:11:18Tampa again
01:11:19wrecked by a ladder.
01:11:22Whoa!
01:11:23Kenny May!
01:11:24Dawkins, you maniac!
01:11:25Dawkins launching himself
01:11:26over the top rope
01:11:27taking out the ladder
01:11:28and the Bloodline.
01:11:30At great cost
01:11:31to his own well-being
01:11:32and there comes
01:11:33Johnny Wrestling.
01:11:34Gargano with a suicide dive.
01:11:42Montez Ford gonna fly!
01:11:47Bodies everywhere!
01:11:54Take another look at this.
01:11:56First Angelo Dawkins
01:11:58sacrificing his own body
01:12:00to take out the opposition
01:12:03and Montez Ford
01:12:05doing it with style.
01:12:07Dawkins is like a flying bus
01:12:10over the top rope
01:12:11taking out a ladder
01:12:12and the Bloodline.
01:12:17Lacey B-Fab
01:12:18on the outside
01:12:19trying to keep her men in line.
01:12:21Trying to help figure out
01:12:22the next step
01:12:23for Ford and Dawkins.
01:12:31There we go!
01:12:32Gonna fire up Montez Ford.
01:12:36For all these months
01:12:37that may have been
01:12:38all the profits were missing
01:12:39that killer instinct.
01:12:40B-Fab not afraid
01:12:41to tell her men
01:12:42what needs to be done.
01:12:43Let's do the job!
01:12:45And that's what
01:12:46Montez was looking for.
01:12:48Get the tables, Tez!
01:12:49Ladder match continues!
01:12:53Things have been fast and furious
01:12:54vicious and aggressive.
01:12:56Triple threat tag team match.
01:12:58A ladder match.
01:13:00For the WWE tag team titles
01:13:02nobody's even really come close
01:13:03to climbing the ladder yet, Corey.
01:13:05It has been chaos
01:13:06at the ground level
01:13:07for the most part in this match
01:13:08but Tama Tonga
01:13:09the right hand man
01:13:10making the ascent
01:13:11to the top of the ladder.
01:13:12And now D.I.Y.
01:13:13trying to intercept
01:13:14play defense here.
01:13:15Gargano and Ciampa.
01:13:17And Tama Tonga
01:13:18Oh!
01:13:19Shatter machine!
01:13:20Good night!
01:13:24Double knees
01:13:25right to the heart
01:13:26of Tama Tonga.
01:13:27Can Gargano and Ciampa
01:13:28capitalize?
01:13:31It could be their opportunity.
01:13:34Gargano, Ciampa
01:13:35looking for meat
01:13:36in the middle
01:13:37but Gargano was dragged
01:13:38out of the ring
01:13:39by Tonga Loa.
01:13:41And just that quickly
01:13:42the powerhouse Tonga Loa
01:13:44changed the complexion
01:13:45of this triple threat ladder match.
01:13:52And now the bloodline
01:13:53looks to regroup.
01:13:58Gargano and Ciampa
01:13:59suffering the effects
01:14:00of the ladder attack.
01:14:02The slower pace
01:14:04works for the bloodline.
01:14:07Trust me
01:14:08Tonga Loa
01:14:09can be explosive
01:14:10as anybody.
01:14:11Uh oh, doesn't want to be there!
01:14:12When the moment
01:14:13calls for him
01:14:14and right now
01:14:15Ladder wrapped around
01:14:16his neck
01:14:17D.I.Y.
01:14:18with
01:14:19meat!
01:14:20Oh!
01:14:22Oh my god!
01:14:23If he wasn't decapitated
01:14:25meat in the middle
01:14:26by D.I.Y.
01:14:28Somebody climb a ladder
01:14:30Johnny this is your chance!
01:14:33And Gargano realizing that
01:14:34trying to
01:14:35set the ladder up
01:14:37ring is pretty much empty
01:14:38except for Ciampa
01:14:39and Gargano.
01:14:40On the far side of the ring
01:14:41you can see B-Fab
01:14:42in the panic in her eyes
01:14:44as she realizes
01:14:45the Street Profits best shot
01:14:46is slipping through their fingers.
01:14:48Gargano
01:14:49climbing to the top of the ladder
01:14:50Angelo Dawkins now
01:14:51rips Gargano off the ladder
01:14:52delivers a right hand
01:14:53Dawkins opportunity perhaps.
01:14:56Gargano with a
01:14:57kick right to the face.
01:14:59There it is!
01:15:00Oh my god!
01:15:01Fear!
01:15:02Got him!
01:15:03And a knee by Ciampa
01:15:04rocks Dawkins!
01:15:06Incredible action here!
01:15:09Now it's Ciampa!
01:15:11Chaos!
01:15:12Panic!
01:15:13Disorder!
01:15:14You expected it!
01:15:15This match is delivering!
01:15:17Ciampa trying to
01:15:18climb the ladder
01:15:19trying to shake the
01:15:21shake the feeling back
01:15:22into his legs.
01:15:23And now Dawkins
01:15:24looking to rip Ciampa down
01:15:25off the ladder
01:15:26and he does.
01:15:27A big right hand
01:15:28right on the nose of Ciampa.
01:15:31And another one by Dawkins
01:15:32Ciampa's down to a knee.
01:15:33Dawkins has dynamite
01:15:34in that right hand of his.
01:15:38Oh no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:15:39With Ciampa
01:15:40Ciampa's up on Dawkins
01:15:42up on Dawkins' shoulder
01:15:43Montez Ford!
01:15:47You gotta be kidding me!
01:15:49Oh my god!
01:15:50A blockbuster
01:15:52over the ladder
01:15:53taking out Ciampa!
01:15:55Look he didn't kill himself!
01:15:58That was almost
01:15:59disastrous for Montez Ford
01:16:02It's tough to tell
01:16:03who got the worst
01:16:04in this exchange.
01:16:05The ladder
01:16:06presented an obstacle.
01:16:08Ford misjudged it
01:16:10just a quarter of a step
01:16:12but still the impact
01:16:14high on the top
01:16:15of the shoulders
01:16:16and the base of Ciampa's neck.
01:16:18My lord
01:16:19like a car crash.
01:16:21There are bodies everywhere.
01:16:23Ladder match
01:16:24for the tag titles.
01:16:28Who's gonna climb the ladder?
01:16:30Who's gonna take the gold
01:16:32on the eve of bad blood?
01:16:34Angelo Dawkins
01:16:35has daylight.
01:16:37Dawkins
01:16:38climbing up to the top
01:16:39of the ladder.
01:16:40Providence could be closing in
01:16:42on a fourth tag team
01:16:43championship reign
01:16:44for Tama Tonga.
01:16:47Tremendous closing speed
01:16:48from Tama Tonga
01:16:50covering a lot of ground
01:16:51in a short period of time.
01:16:53Now Dawkins
01:16:54set outside the ring
01:16:55ahead by Tonga Loa.
01:16:56Tama Tonga now
01:16:57marking orders
01:16:58out at Loa.
01:17:02Loa's got something to...
01:17:03Oh my god!
01:17:05And now dumping the ladder
01:17:06outside the ring
01:17:07right here in front of us.
01:17:09Angelo Dawkins.
01:17:11Look out Cole.
01:17:13Back him up!
01:17:17Tonga Loa now

01:17:22Tama Tonga's going but
01:17:23under the ring
01:17:24with a steel chair in hand
01:17:25completely legal.
01:17:26No disqualification
01:17:27in a ladder match.
01:17:30Angelo Dawkins
01:17:31is essentially out
01:17:32on his feet right now.
01:17:35And Big Bad
01:17:36from behind
01:17:37saving Dawkins.
01:17:41Oh but look out
01:17:42behind!
01:17:43Chairs to the back
01:17:44of the bloodline

01:17:48Totally legal
01:17:49in a ladder match.
01:17:51Campa Gargano now
01:17:53laying waste
01:17:54to the champion.
01:17:55Corey we talked
01:17:56about revenge
