00:00:00Forever.
00:00:11Together.
00:00:30Global recognition as the best of the best.
00:00:33And the prestige of becoming the first ever WWE Crown Jewel Champion.
00:00:38Meanwhile, tonight in Colombia,
00:00:40for former undisputed WWE Champion Roman Reigns,
00:00:43his quest back to the head of the table is looking less and less likely.
00:00:48As last week, Reigns once again found himself at the mercy of the new bloodline
00:00:53and still achieved without a try.
00:01:00Tonight we're going to change things up a little bit.
00:01:04Join me and acknowledge Big Jim.
00:01:13Oh my goodness!
00:01:16Jimmy's back!
00:01:20I'm a tribal chief.
00:01:22And that means that tape was mine.
00:01:24That's exactly what we've done.
00:01:26We took what was ours.
00:01:28We had it all.
00:01:30We ran around here and everybody feared us.
00:01:33When we step foot in this ring,
00:01:35I want you to know that we are the ones.
00:01:41Yeah, but we're not though.
00:01:44I stand here in the middle of this ring
00:01:46and I see a chief with no tribe right here.
00:01:49I see you with no ulefala around your neck.
00:01:54Man, I came back because you needed me.
00:01:57You needed help.
00:01:59Yo, we need help.
00:02:08No need.
00:02:11You'll forever be my tribal chief, man.
00:02:14But I'm the only one in the family that still acknowledges you.
00:02:19The bloodline acknowledges Solo Sakala.
00:02:23He's the man who had his own brother attacked
00:02:25and kicked out of the bloodline.
00:02:27Jimmy Uso seeks revenge.
00:02:30Solo Sakala says that Jimmy will acknowledge him.
00:02:34Here comes Tama Tonga.
00:02:36And now on the other side, Jacob Batu!
00:02:40Samoan Spike by Solo!
00:02:45And now the bloodline assaulting Jimmy Uso.
00:02:51Roman Reigns on his way to the ring!
00:02:54Roman returning a favor from Bad Blood coming to the aid.
00:03:01And now Solo and Roman going at it!
00:03:05And again, the bloodline strength it numbers.
00:03:12Terrifying athleticism from the Samoan werewolf.
00:03:18Samoan Spike to Reigns!
00:03:25Give me that! Give me that!
00:03:36Got a second?
00:03:49Please, just hear me out real quick.
00:03:51I said no!
00:03:54Get out of my face, man.
00:04:10And tonight, live from Columbia, South Carolina,
00:04:14the new bloodline looks to continue right where they left off last week.
00:04:20Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Jacob Batu
00:04:26and the WWE Tag Team Champions,
00:04:30Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa
00:04:33and Solo Sikaua, the bloodline!
00:04:50Tama Tonga!
00:04:52Tama Tonga!
00:04:54Tama Tonga!
00:04:56Tama Tonga!
00:04:57Welcome to ringside, everybody. I am still Corey Graves.
00:05:00Michael Cole's off on special assignment tonight,
00:05:02so I'm afraid I've got a little bad news rejoining me in the booth.
00:05:06The band is back together.
00:05:07Mr. Wade Barrett.
00:05:08Juan Esparel, it is to be back here on SmackDown.
00:05:11Excited to see what the new version of the bloodline have in store for us.
00:05:15Wade, I'm going to ask you a question that Roman Reigns is no doubt asking himself.
00:05:18In your opinion, is there any conceivable way
00:05:21to stop this new outlaw rogue bloodline?
00:05:24Well, last week told its own story.
00:05:27Roman Reigns and Jey Uso look certainly out of manpower
00:05:32and more scarily perhaps out of ideas
00:05:36to deal with Solo Sikaua and his troops.
00:05:39I can't imagine there are too many men walking God's green earth
00:05:42who want to stand eye to eye with a Samoan werewolf.
00:05:46I can't imagine there are too many men walking God's green earth
00:05:49who want to stand eye to eye with a Samoan werewolf.
00:06:17Colombia, South Carolina.
00:06:28Acknowledge me.
00:06:47Solo Sikaua! Solo Sikaua! Solo Sikaua! Solo Sikaua!
00:06:55You all better get used to seeing this
00:06:58because you looking at the present and the future.
00:07:06You looking at the bloodline.
00:07:10And you looking at the triumphal chief.
00:07:22You see, I'm the man that created a bigger and stronger family.
00:07:29I'm the man that created a bigger and stronger bloodline.
00:07:35Yeah, I did.
00:07:38And Roman Reigns can't do nothing about it.
00:07:48Jimmy can't do nothing about it neither.
00:07:54Oh, and then check this out.
00:07:57And then Jimmy goes to Monday Night Raw and tries to get Jey's help
00:08:01but Jey don't want nothing to do with it either.
00:08:05Right?
00:08:14No Jey.
00:08:20These beatdowns will continue to happen to Roman Reigns
00:08:24unless he does one thing.
00:08:28Unless he comes down to the ring
00:08:32by the end of the night
00:08:35and acknowledges me.
00:08:44All Star!
00:08:49Hang on a second, Wade.
00:08:52Hang on a second, Wade.
00:09:06The Colonial Life Arena just exploded into a sea of yeets.
00:09:12The Intercontinental Champion, Main Event Jey Uso
00:09:17is on SmackDown.
00:09:22Well, as this place explodes
00:09:24conspicuous by their lack of yeeting
00:09:27are the four men stunned in that ring
00:09:29namely Solo Sakoa and his band of men
00:09:34known as The Bloodline
00:09:36our last celebratory for a minute.
00:09:39I've got to ask you, is this a smart decision for Jey Uso
00:09:42to come here by himself
00:09:44after refusing to give his own brother, Jimmy, audience at Raw this Monday?
00:09:49I'll tell you, the only way it is smart for Jey Uso
00:09:53to be stepping in a ring with Solo Sakoa
00:09:56is if he is prepared
00:09:59to acknowledge Solo Sakoa as his tribal king.
00:10:03Outside of that, I'd be staying well clear
00:10:06if I were Jey Uso.
00:10:10Well, what's done last week on SmackDown
00:10:13is Solo Sakoa and his Bloodline dismantled.
00:10:16Solo and Jey's brother, Jimmy.
00:10:21But the Intercontinental Champion is in the house to kick things off.
00:10:46They want Intercontinental!
00:10:49They want Intercontinental!
00:10:52Well, I just see that the Solo Sakoa
00:10:55just give Jey Uso the go-ahead to get up on those ropes and yeet.
00:11:05I'm going to call that a moment for us.
00:11:08Perhaps Solo is feeling a little oozy tonight.
00:11:13Might as well go too far for him.
00:11:37What's up, little brother?
00:11:42It's been a minute.
00:11:48I promise I'm not out here to fight you.
00:11:54Because at the end of the day, I still care about you.
00:11:57You're still my little brother.
00:12:04Look, Jimmy and Roman not here yet.
00:12:09So I came out here to talk to you
00:12:12one-on-one, ooze to ooze.
00:12:19But think about what you're doing.
00:12:24Think about what you're doing to the family.
00:12:29Think about what you're doing to the Bloodline.
00:12:38Though nobody got bigger issues with Roman than I do.
00:12:43But dividing a family like this, it ain't it.
00:12:46I left. I left the family, ooze.
00:12:49I left to be my own man.
00:12:52I left to Raw.
00:12:54Man, I became the Intercontinental champion, little brother.
00:12:58Look, though.
00:13:01Look, though.
00:13:07Yes, I did.
00:13:10Amen.
00:13:13Look, ooze.
00:13:16Fighting over the Ula Fala, though,
00:13:19it ain't it.
00:13:22It ain't it.
00:13:26Fighting over the Ula Fala, though, is not it.
00:13:30That right there is earned, not taken.
00:13:33You know better.
00:13:38But if you want to end Roman's power,
00:13:41then do it.
00:13:44Just don't divide the family while you do it.
00:13:49Are you done wasting my time?
00:13:53You come out here, you yeet, yeet, yeet.
00:13:57Who said anything about dividing the family?
00:14:00I'm not trying to divide the family.
00:14:02I'm trying to unite the family.
00:14:09And stop calling me your little brother.
00:14:13I'm your tribal chief now.
00:14:17And I'll always have a place for you
00:14:20and Roman in my bloodline.
00:14:23But all you have to do
00:14:26is acknowledge me.
00:14:31You see, I don't want you to follow Jimmy's footsteps
00:14:34because look where I got him.
00:14:38So are you in?
00:14:41Are you in?
00:14:45Or are you out?
00:14:48R-O-P-C! R-O-P-C! R-O-P-C! R-O-P-C! R-O-P-C! R-O-P-C! R-O-P-C! R-O-P-C! R-O-P-C! R-O-P-C! R-O-P-C! R-O-P-C!
00:15:06Man, look,
00:15:09if what you're saying is true,
00:15:12and you're trying to unite our bloodline,
00:15:16line, then why did you have to go and get them? Why'd you have to go get them Us, Tama, Tonga?
00:15:29Why'd you have to go get Jacob? There's a reason why we stayed away from him
00:15:33and if you keep staring at me like that, I'm going to knock your ass out.
00:15:37I'm not here for that, all right? Forget all that. Next time I see you Us, it's going to be different.
00:16:08Yeet.
00:16:18Wade, what on earth do you think Jey Uso meant by that? Next time I see you, it's going to be different.
00:16:24All right, it's tough talk. Things are going very well for Jey Uso ever since he plays his own trail,
00:16:32but man tread carefully around little bro, or should I say the tribal chief, Solo Sokoa,
00:16:39especially when he's backed up by that trail. Solo telling Jey he's looking to unite the family
00:16:49and there will always be a place in the bloodline for Jey and Roman Reigns.
00:17:01We are just getting started tonight on SmackDown and coming up next is our first of two triple
00:17:08threat tag team qualifying matchup. Who will earn the right to a championship match? We will have
00:17:14our answer beginning tonight as DIY battles the Street Profits and Pretty Deadly in a triple threat next.
00:17:22Welcome back to SmackDown. Get ready for triple threat tag team action.
00:17:28get ready for triple threat tag team action.
00:17:31The following is a triple threat tag team qualifying match.
00:17:48Introducing, accompanied by B-Fab, Angelo Dawkins, and Montez Ford.
00:17:56We are preparing for the first of two triple threat tag team qualifying matches tonight
00:18:07on SmackDown.
00:18:08The second to come later in the evening, the winners of each match will advance and battle
00:18:14one another next week on Friday night SmackDown for the opportunity to challenge for the WWE
00:18:20tag team titles currently held by, you guessed it, the Bloodlines.
00:18:25Yeah, be careful what you wish for, this feels like the first step in the journey of a thousand
00:18:31miles if you really are going to win gold here in the tag ranks on SmackDown.
00:18:36Just entering now, of course, the Street Profits already in the ring, D-I-Y-N, ha ha ha!
00:18:42Of all the things I've missed, not being on SmackDown, yes boy!
00:18:47Brittany and Ed Lee are there, and look at their outfits.
00:18:50A couple of dedicated followers of fashion, they've got poppies on their male bralettes,
00:18:55Corey!
00:18:56You might just want a pair of those in your favorite club in Pittsburgh.
00:18:59High fashion, even higher impact.
00:19:01Remember, ooh!
00:19:02Triple threat tag team rules in effect.
00:19:04Cover here by Montez Ford.
00:19:06One member of each team will be legal at all times, but you must tag your own teammate
00:19:12for them to make entry into this matchup.
00:19:14Montez Ford sent to the apron, met by a knee from Ciampa.
00:19:18Keep your eyes on Pretty Deadly, Wade.
00:19:21I always do, mate.
00:19:22I never take my eyes off.
00:19:27I think that might have been a miscalculation by Elton Prince, who is now hightailing it
00:19:33out of the ring, being run down by the Sicilian Psycho Power, Tim Wilson!
00:19:39Genius!
00:19:40Expert level tag team trap!
00:19:44That was far from expert level, just sheer brutality from Angelo Dawkins.
00:19:50Keep your eyes peeled at all times, gentlemen.
00:19:53This thing breaking down in a hurry to the surprise of absolutely no one.
00:19:58Here comes Kez!
00:20:00My God, what athleticism!
00:20:02Stop the landing, Drew!
00:20:04Montez Ford setting his sights on Johnny Gargano.
00:20:08Kick connects on the ear of Johnny Wrestling.
00:20:10Here comes Kez!
00:20:11Big knee by Ciampa!
00:20:13Into the cover, hook of the leg to advance.
00:20:16And Ford keeps the Street Profits' chances alive.
00:20:19Oh, man, that was a thousand miles per hour start from all three teams.
00:20:24And Kit Wilson from behind.
00:20:27Such is the nature of triple threat action.
00:20:30Even in the tag division, you simply are not safe.
00:20:33Tag made.
00:20:34Elton Prince now legal for Pretty Deadly.
00:20:36No matter how much you feel like you're in control of this kind of matchup.
00:20:40Three teams that are effectively two wins away from a shot of the gun.
00:20:45Cover!
00:20:46Tremendous tag team innovation by Pretty Deadly.
00:20:51But Ciampa has enough left in the tank to keep this match alive.
00:20:55Let's look at this again.
00:20:56Off of the back of Prince into a Codebreaker type maneuver.
00:21:01Double knees to the face of Ciampa.
00:21:03Straight out of the PD playbook.
00:21:07Dazzling with their poppy-clad outfits.
00:21:10And now battering with their offense.
00:21:12What is your obsession with poppies?
00:21:14That's a British thing, isn't it?
00:21:15Oh, man, the poppy is the symbol of greatness in the UK.
00:21:19Our greatest generations wore cladded poppies.
00:21:22And I'm going to add these two to it.
00:21:24And what a display.
00:21:25Does Ford count Pretty Deadly advancing this tournament?
00:21:29Wait a minute, wait a minute!
00:21:31Shoulder down!
00:21:33Bacchusoto.
00:21:35Oh, my God!
00:21:36Tommaso Ciampa from the middle row!
00:21:38Air raid crash!
00:21:40Montez Ford with a 450!
00:21:43To advance!
00:21:46And Johnny Gargano keeps it alive for DIY.
00:21:50Ciampa going for broke.
00:21:51And it almost backfired.
00:21:53Such is the speed of Montez Ford.
00:21:57Remember, triple threat tag team rules are in effect despite the chaos at the moment.
00:22:02Only one member of each respective team can be legal at any given time.
00:22:07Good luck to this referee trying to figure out exactly who is legal at any one point.
00:22:12Beautiful double team by The Prophets.
00:22:14Down goes Ciampa, but Pretty Deadly making their presence felt.
00:22:18Kit Wilson looking to steal it.
00:22:22DIY will not be denied yet.
00:22:25Just milliseconds away from victory.
00:22:27And now Tommaso Ciampa isolated, completely alone in the ring.
00:22:31This could be the moment Pretty Deadly have been waiting for.
00:22:33But keep your eyes on Montez Ford.
00:22:36Fast as lightning. Montez Ford back to save the day for the Street Prophets.
00:22:42The adrenaline pumping through the veins of Montez Ford.
00:22:48Making the long climb to the top.
00:22:51And Prince takes out Tez's legs.
00:22:54Desperation move there from Elton Prince, but it may come good in the end.
00:22:59PD after going for the kill, and they have to do it now.
00:23:03Here comes Angelo Dawkins to the aid of Montez.
00:23:06Wilson spills to the floor. This is not where Elton wants to be, Wade.
00:23:14Doomsday blockbuster by the Street Prophets.
00:23:17But Ciampa and Gargano meet in the middle.
00:23:20It's anyone's ballgame, Ciampa.
00:23:23Wait, who's legal?
00:23:29D.I.Y.
00:23:33I need to see that.
00:23:35Ciampa is the legal man, okay?
00:23:38Montez Ford did not.
00:23:40All right, your winners, D.I.Y.
00:23:44Ladies and gentlemen, the winners of the match are D.I.Y.
00:23:52Well, you heard exactly what Jessica and Carl the referee just said there.
00:23:57Just trying to break this down here.
00:24:00A great job by Jessica and Carl, keeping her eyes on the action during all of this.
00:24:05But the legal man there was Kit Wilson.
00:24:07He actually got knocked out of the ring.
00:24:09Now, at this point, Elton Prince is not legal.
00:24:12There had been a tag to Kit Wilson.
00:24:14The Street Prophets clearly got confused at this point, as were everybody else in the arena.
00:24:19But Tommaso Ciampa got his eye on the ball.
00:24:23Well, here's that tag to Kit Wilson that took Elton Prince out of the equation.
00:24:30Wow.
00:24:32Street Prophets thought they had this one won, but it was D.I.Y. who kept their eye on the ball.
00:24:38Kit, the legal man, and they are knocked out.
00:24:40Well, certainly won't sit well with the Street Prophets, no doubt about that.
00:24:44But it is undeniable that D.I.Y. took that ever-important next step towards hopefully once again becoming tag team champions.
00:24:51Another superstar, Wade, who took the important next step towards potentially earning gold
00:24:56happened last week here on SmackDown in the women's division.
00:24:59Yeah, this, as we say on SmackDown, Jax versus Naomi.
00:25:03Tiffany Stratton was prevented from intervening by the massive Raquel.
00:25:09And as Jax was looking to close herself in on victory, once again intervening was Raquel.
00:25:18Allowing Liv Morgan to smash Nia Jax with the Money in the Bank briefcase,
00:25:23and Naomi picked up a massive W against the champ, much to the chagrin of Nia Jax.
00:25:32Well, we were scheduled to have a tag team matchup tonight,
00:25:35but we understand there is some news breaking backstage at this very moment
00:25:39regarding this Bayley, Naomi, Nia, Tiffany tag team matchup.
00:25:43We promise we'll do our best to get you the information and get you up to date when we come back.
00:25:54We invite you to join WWE in supporting the American Red Cross in their relief efforts
00:25:59for those impacted by Hurricanes Milton and Helene across Florida, the Carolinas, and the South.
00:26:05Please use the QR code on your screen or visit wwe.me slash Red Cross.
00:26:44What is happening?
00:27:06I'm proud of you.
00:27:09We all are.
00:27:14And no yeet.
00:27:29I told you.
00:27:33Come on.
00:27:43Speak up, I can't hear you.
00:27:45What do you mean you have the flu, Tiffy?
00:27:48Now is not the time to abandon me.
00:27:50Liv Morgan and her greasy boyfriend are trying to get in the way of me becoming the first ever crown jewel champion.
00:27:56And then I have Naomi on my back, and I thought tonight I could teach her a lesson,
00:28:00but now that you have the sniffles, Nick Aldis is going to have to cancel the match.
00:28:04Oh, the match isn't canceled.
00:28:07Uh, excuse me?
00:28:09Yeah, the match, it's not canceled.
00:28:11Shut up, Tiffany!
00:28:13Um, but my partner's sick, so...
00:28:16Naya, SmackDown has a deep talent roster, so the simple solution here is find somebody else.
00:28:22Who?
00:28:23Who else?
00:28:25Oh, would you look at that.
00:28:28Oh, look at that.
00:28:29Excuse you.
00:28:30Sorry, Naya, but we couldn't help but overhear that you're in need of a tag partner tonight.
00:28:34And, uh, I am the first ever women's speed champion, so champion to champion.
00:28:40I really wouldn't mind helping you out.
00:28:42Wow, two champions, champion to champion.
00:28:44Don't even.
00:28:46Smells like money to me.
00:28:47That's my perfume.
00:28:48Book it.
00:28:49Look at that.
00:28:51It's booked.
00:28:55You better hold up your end of the bargain, or I will end you, and it'll take me less than three minutes.
00:29:08You're welcome.
00:29:10There's your breaking news.
00:29:12Tiffany Stratton out of tonight's tag team matchup.
00:29:15Candice LeRae, the WWE women's speed champion, is in.
00:29:19That one's still to come tonight.
00:29:21Both grossly unfair and disrespectful from Nick Olivers.
00:29:28The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:29:31Introducing first, accompanied by Chelsea Green.
00:29:38From Ayrshire, Scotland, Piper Niven.
00:29:46With Piper Niven making her way to the ring, accompanied by Chelsea Green,
00:29:51who I understand has remedied the odor issue she has been suffering from.
00:29:55I was nervous.
00:29:56I thought it would smell terrible, but it doesn't.
00:29:58But Piper Niven is looking mean, moody, and magnificent,
00:30:02and she is up against the bougie bully from NXT, Lash Legend.
00:30:07These two go head-to-head here on SmackDown next.
00:30:20Accompanied by Ja'Kara Jackson,
00:30:24representing Metaphor, Lash Legend.
00:30:32As we prepare for singles action in the women's division,
00:30:35I would not be surprised for there to be some implications in the tag team division.
00:30:40As Lash Legend prepares to go one-on-one with Piper Niven,
00:30:44the WWE women's tag team champion.
00:30:47Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair with some of the best seats in the house.
00:30:52Obviously it was last week here on SmackDown,
00:30:55where Lash Legend and Ja'Kara Jackson had the opportunity to challenge for those championships.
00:31:00Piper Niven played a role, Chelsea Green played a role.
00:31:03It followed all the way to Monday Night Raw,
00:31:05involving damage control in their championship opportunity, Wade.
00:31:08Yeah, ultimately it was Niven and Chelsea Green on the outside
00:31:11who cost Lash Legend and Ja'Kara Jackson their big opportunity,
00:31:15and hence we have this fallout right now.
00:31:17A little standoff.
00:31:18Not too many women have the strength to stand up to Piper Niven.
00:31:22But I assure you, Niven will not be bullied by the bougie bully, Lash Legend.
00:31:27Two of the biggest and baddest women we've ever had here in WWE.
00:31:32Neither woman looking to take a step back.
00:31:37Piper Niven just mowing through the competition.
00:31:41Look out, Legend out of the way just in the nick of time.
00:31:44That was smart from Lash.
00:31:45Chelsea Green knows exactly how that feels.
00:31:48Big splash by Legend into the cover.
00:31:51Last week, it was Lash Legend delivering that exact same kick to Chelsea Green,
00:31:55which sent Chelsea spilling over our announce desk,
00:31:58which could be argued opened the door for the champions to retain.
00:32:02The power of Niven on display.
00:32:04These women just dropping bombs from the word go.
00:32:08Cover by Piper.
00:32:09Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson, of course, members of Meta 4,
00:32:12have run roughshod over NXT for quite some time.
00:32:16Keep a very close eye on Chelsea Green and Jakara Jackson on the outside,
00:32:21desperately willing their partners to victory here.
00:32:26I'm a happily married man, Wade.
00:32:27That's just getting me in trouble.
00:32:29Nobody home.
00:32:30Big overhand shot by Legend.
00:32:32The technique went out of the window from the off when it came to these two.
00:32:36No way.
00:32:37Throwing everything they have at one another.
00:32:40It looked to me like Lash Legend was going to attempt to chokeslam Piper Niven.
00:32:45We've seen in NXT the power possessed by Legend.
00:32:49This woman has the power.
00:32:50She's got the power.
00:32:51She's got the power.
00:32:52She's got the power.
00:32:53She's got the power.
00:32:54She's got the power.
00:32:55She's got the power.
00:32:56We've seen in NXT the power possessed by Legend.
00:32:59This woman is the real deal.
00:33:02Look.
00:33:03That just gave way.
00:33:06She did a lot better than most when it came to lifting up Piper Niven,
00:33:10who is now going in for the count.
00:33:11Oh my God.
00:33:12How's this for power?
00:33:14Wow.
00:33:15Big body slam to Niven.
00:33:18Chelsea Green obviously doesn't like what she's seeing.
00:33:22Ms. Green letting her presence be felt again to the surprise of no one.
00:33:27That's a distraction.
00:33:29Lash Legend into Carla Jackson.
00:33:31Lashley, will it do the same here?
00:33:33Legend took her eyes off of her opponent.
00:33:36And that could cost Lash in a big way.
00:33:39Niven making the climb.
00:33:42Bone crushing offense.
00:33:44Legend out of the way.
00:33:48Can Lash Legend
00:33:49topple Piper Niven?
00:33:51Look at this.
00:33:53This is outrageous.
00:33:55Unbelievable.
00:33:57Into the cover.
00:33:59Hooks the leg.
00:34:01Lash Legend with the win.
00:34:04Here is your winner,
00:34:07Lash Legend.
00:34:10Well, that has to be the biggest win of Lash Legend's short career thus far.
00:34:16And even the tag champs Belair and Cargill looked impressed.
00:34:20And this is where it all went into meltdown on the outside of the ring,
00:34:24allowing Piper Niven to capitalize.
00:34:26But just when she thought she had this one in the bag,
00:34:30the athleticism and power of Lash Legend came to the fore, scoring the victory.
00:34:35And I've got to say, Wade, after the official three count,
00:34:38both Belair and Cargill looked extremely impressed
00:34:42by what Lash Legend was able to do.
00:34:44Is that impressed or is that terrified?
00:34:47Because Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson are coming for those championships.
00:34:52Well, the good news is the winners here at the WWE Universe,
00:34:55the women's tag division continues to heat up.
00:34:59And if we are talking championships, how about this?
00:35:03Over 150 carats in diamond weight in each championship.
00:35:08The crown jewel title.
00:35:10One of the combatant's favorite titles.
00:35:12One of the combatant's, the WWE champion, Cody Rhodes, is here live next.
00:35:22Smackdown comes to you tonight from Colonial Life Arena in Soda City,
00:35:27Columbia, South Carolina, home of the University of South Carolina
00:35:31where our own NXT champ, Trick Williams, shined on the gridiron
00:35:35and where our superstars return to American soil
00:35:38after a wildly successful tour this week.
00:35:40In your neck of the woods, Wade, the UK.
00:35:43Yeah, what a party it was over in the UK,
00:35:46and what a party we're having here tonight on Smackdown
00:35:49in Columbia, South Carolina.
00:35:51This audience really doing their part with their signs.
00:35:55Every city seemingly trying to outdo The Last with their episode sign.
00:35:59My personal view is that Evansville, Indiana, several weeks ago
00:36:02was the best with the signs.
00:36:04They broke the world record for Wade Barrett signs with one.
00:36:11What are you doing?
00:36:14Sorry.
00:36:16Why are you right there?
00:36:18I'm trying to relax you.
00:36:20It's the wise man spot.
00:36:22I was just trying to relax you.
00:36:24You're not the wise man.
00:36:26I'm not.
00:36:28But listen.
00:36:30I'm just trying to relax you.
00:36:32I still think you need to talk to Brother J.
00:36:36I think if the wise man was here tonight,
00:36:38I think if the wise man was here, this would be done by now.
00:36:41I'm not talking to J. We already saw J.
00:36:45He made it clear.
00:36:48It don't matter.
00:36:50Look.
00:36:52I gave you a shot.
00:36:54You tried.
00:36:56It's time to do it my way.
00:36:59I'm going to fix this.
00:37:01Tonight.
00:37:04How the hell are you going to do that?
00:37:09I'm going to acknowledge.
00:37:11Solo.
00:37:13I'm going to acknowledge.
00:37:15Solo.
00:37:17I'm going to acknowledge.
00:37:19Solo.
00:37:21I'm going to acknowledge.
00:37:23Solo.
00:37:25I'm going to acknowledge.
00:37:27Solo.
00:37:29Did we just hear that correctly, Wade?
00:37:31Roman's going to acknowledge Solo.
00:37:33We'll find out as the night progresses.
00:37:35But this is what it's all about.
00:37:36Two weeks from tomorrow.
00:37:38Crown Jewel Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
00:37:40The beautiful, prestigious WWE Crown Jewel Championship.
00:37:46Over 150 carats in diamond weight on each championship.
00:37:51Absolutely beautiful.
00:37:53Here comes one of the combats.
00:38:06And the winner is...
00:38:08Roman Reigns!
00:38:37Ladies and gentlemen.
00:38:39Please welcome.
00:38:41The undisputed.
00:38:43WWE Champion.
00:38:46The American Nightmare.
00:38:48Cody Reigns!
00:38:50Ladies and gentlemen.
00:38:52Please welcome.
00:38:54The undisputed.
00:38:56WWE Champion.
00:38:58The American Nightmare.
00:39:00Cody Reigns!
00:39:02Ladies and gentlemen.
00:39:04Please welcome.
00:39:06Riyadh!
00:39:08Cody Rowe's a superstar.
00:39:10No stranger to the goings on within the bloodline.
00:39:14But now the American Nightmare must shift his focus.
00:39:18To two weeks from tomorrow.
00:39:20Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
00:39:22WWE on peacock.
00:39:24Cody Rowe.
00:39:26The undisputed WWE Champion.
00:39:28Versus Gunther.
00:39:30The World Heavyweight Champion.
00:39:32The winner of that match will be crowned the first ever.
00:39:33WWE Crown Jewel Champion.
00:39:44And Crown Jewel.
00:39:46We know it will be champion versus champion.
00:39:48For the Crown Jewel Championship.
00:39:50But this week, Wade.
00:39:52During WWE's aforementioned tour of the United Kingdom.
00:39:54Both Cody Rowe and Gunther.
00:39:56Shared the ring with another World Champion.
00:39:59I am talking about the UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion.
00:40:03Tom Aspinall.
00:40:06One of the UK's favorite sons.
00:40:13And I believe Aspinall made it known that.
00:40:16Potentially after his UFC career is finished.
00:40:18He's very interested in crossing over here to the World WWE.
00:40:22Yes he is and I'm glad I'm retired.
00:40:24Do not want to lock horns with Tom Aspinall.
00:40:34Cody! Cody! Cody!
00:40:37Cody! Cody! Cody!
00:40:39Cody! Cody! Cody!
00:40:41Cody! Cody! Cody!
00:40:43Cody! Cody! Cody!
00:40:45Before my remarks.
00:40:47We have an unbelievably sized crowd this evening.
00:40:56I wanted to just make sure.
00:40:58That our friends up there.
00:41:00We all say hi to our friends up there.
00:41:03Our friends down here.
00:41:05We say hi to all of them.
00:41:13A very wise individual recently said to me.
00:41:17When it comes to the pantheon of top men and top women.
00:41:21In professional wrestling.
00:41:23Who would be the next leader?
00:41:25He said that.
00:41:27The next one doesn't always look like the last one.
00:41:30It's been a quote I've been thinking about quite a bit lately.
00:41:34But.
00:41:36In regards to this.
00:41:38Crown Jewel Championship.
00:41:41It's not about the next one.
00:41:43It's not about the last one.
00:41:45It's about who is going to be the first one.
00:41:52So many.
00:41:54What ifs.
00:41:56In the history of our sport.
00:41:59I'll take you down that road.
00:42:00What if.
00:42:02The N.W.A. world's champion Harley Race.
00:42:05Fought against the W.W.W.F.'s Bruno San Martino.
00:42:10What if the A.W.A.'s Nick Bockwinkle.
00:42:13Went against the nature boy Ric Flair.
00:42:16Champion versus champion.
00:42:21What if W.C.W.'s Bill Goldberg.
00:42:24Fought Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:42:30And often when these.
00:42:32What ifs did come to fruition.
00:42:35The outcome was not always satisfactory.
00:42:39A clever out if you will.
00:42:41When it comes to Crown Jewel.
00:42:43At the end of that night.
00:42:45There will be a definitive Crown Jewel Champion.
00:42:54Again.
00:42:56Champion versus champion.
00:42:57I am not going to stand here.
00:43:00And disparage my opponent.
00:43:02Raw's world heavyweight champion.
00:43:04Gunther.
00:43:13Widely respected by his peers.
00:43:15And legends alike.
00:43:17Brother could chop a tree down with his hand.
00:43:20Most men who walk those hallways.
00:43:22Are terrified of Gunther.
00:43:28I'm not.
00:43:31But even if I was.
00:43:35I wouldn't bet against me.
00:43:38Why do I think.
00:43:40That I am leaving Crown Jewel.
00:43:42As champion.
00:43:45Well for starters.
00:43:47Look at this thing.
00:43:50Corey Gray's been talking about it all night.
00:43:53On commentary.
00:43:54One of the most beautifully designed title belts.
00:43:57In the history of our sport.
00:43:59But beauty.
00:44:01Beauty is only skin deep.
00:44:03In the last two plus years.
00:44:05You and I.
00:44:07The WWE audience.
00:44:09Pro wrestling fans alike.
00:44:11We have gotten to know each other.
00:44:13Have we not?
00:44:15So you know.
00:44:17When I came back to WWE.
00:44:19I wanted to take the John Cena schedule.
00:44:22I wanted to take that model.
00:44:24And by God we did take that schedule.
00:44:27Hell we even added to that schedule.
00:44:29I have bled.
00:44:31I have sweat.
00:44:33I have paid the price.
00:44:35And I am not foolish enough to think.
00:44:37That I am done paying the price.
00:44:39But again.
00:44:44It's almost skin deep.
00:44:46The real reason.
00:44:48That I think I'm leaving Crown Jewel.
00:44:51As champion.
00:44:52She is sitting at home.
00:44:54Right now.
00:44:56She is about three foot tall.
00:44:58And I need her to know.
00:45:00That when my bones turn to dust.
00:45:02My name will be attached to this title.
00:45:04As it's first champion.
00:45:06I need her to know.
00:45:08The name was given to me.
00:45:10Is the same name that was given to her.
00:45:12And it will matter.
00:45:14And she will know.
00:45:16You play the game.
00:45:18Not to lose.
00:45:20But you play to win.
00:45:23Now.
00:45:25I'd like to invite.
00:45:27Next Friday on Smackdown.
00:45:29The world heavyweight champion.
00:45:31Gunther.
00:45:33To stand in this ring with me.
00:45:35I'd like to ask him.
00:45:37What his reasons for all of this are.
00:45:40And I'd like to look him in the eyes.
00:45:42And say.
00:45:44Hey champ.
00:45:46What do you want to talk about?
00:45:47Well there you have it.
00:45:49The American nightmare.
00:45:51Laying down the gauntlet.
00:45:53And fighting the world heavyweight champion.
00:45:55Gunther.
00:45:57To Smackdown next week.
00:45:59Wade.
00:46:01Do you think Gunther is going to answer the call?
00:46:03Gunther backs down to nobody.
00:46:05And let me tell you this.
00:46:07Gauri.
00:46:08I promise you.
00:46:10There are massive implications.
00:46:12For the legacies of both Cody Rhodes.
00:46:14And the rest of the world.
00:46:15For the legacies of both Cody Rhodes.
00:46:17And the ring general Gunther.
00:46:19Who wins that matchup.
00:46:21And that new champion.
00:46:23It certainly seems that Cody Rhodes.
00:46:25Has been able to shift his focus.
00:46:27To Gunther and the crown jewel championship.
00:46:29However I've got to believe.
00:46:31That in the back of the American nightmares mind.
00:46:33One man.
00:46:35Is haunting every thought of Cody.
00:46:37You know what I'm talking about?
00:46:39I know exactly who you're talking about.
00:46:41Here is the couple of weeks ago.
00:46:43KO.
00:46:45At the Bad Blood PLA.
00:46:47What's the reason KO?
00:46:49People are asking me why I turned on Cody Rhodes.
00:46:51Cody Rhodes.
00:46:53Turned on.
00:46:55Kevin was told not to show up.
00:46:57Last week on Smackdown.
00:46:59And moments before a confrontation.
00:47:01Between Owens and Rhodes.
00:47:03Randy Orton of all people.
00:47:05Would play peacekeeper between his two friends.
00:47:07Randy Orton tried to calm down KO.
00:47:09Received an errant shot immediately.
00:47:11Gave one back to KO.
00:47:13And then later on.
00:47:15As these two were.
00:47:17Discussing the issue.
00:47:19KO savagely attacked his now former friend.
00:47:21Randy Orton.
00:47:23It would appear that Kevin Owens.
00:47:25Is now back to his most.
00:47:27Unpredictable.
00:47:29Keep quiet.
00:47:35I've been in WWE now for.
00:47:37About 10 years.
00:47:39Actually it's been over 10 years.
00:47:41Just recently.
00:47:43And I've had a lot of.
00:47:45Ups and downs.
00:47:47Over those 10 years but.
00:47:49I don't think things have ever felt.
00:47:51As bad as they.
00:47:53Do right now.
00:47:56Because for.
00:47:58WWE officials.
00:48:00That tell me to stay home.
00:48:02And not come to work.
00:48:04Not come to Smackdown where I belong.
00:48:06Because of what I did to Cody Rhodes.
00:48:08After bad blood.
00:48:10Is just so.
00:48:12Unfair.
00:48:13And ridiculous.
00:48:15I mean look at what we've seen.
00:48:17WWE superstars do to each other.
00:48:20In and out of the ring.
00:48:22In the locker rooms.
00:48:23All the ambush attacks.
00:48:25The beatdowns.
00:48:27And I get told to stay away.
00:48:29Because I dropped.
00:48:31Their little golden boy.
00:48:33Outside of a stupid bus.
00:48:35Come on.
00:48:37You know.
00:48:39I really.
00:48:40It really makes me ask myself.
00:48:42Just.
00:48:44How appreciated and valued I am.
00:48:46By this company.
00:48:49But that you know that I can.
00:48:51I can live with.
00:48:52I can kind of get past that.
00:48:54What I can't get over though.
00:48:56Is what Randy Orton did to me.
00:48:59Randy I can't believe.
00:49:02That you betrayed me like that.
00:49:04I.
00:49:07You know you can let people say.
00:49:08Whatever they want about me.
00:49:10Kevin Owens turns on all his friends.
00:49:12Blah blah blah.
00:49:13It doesn't matter.
00:49:14I would have never done that to you.
00:49:16Ever.
00:49:18Because what I thought.
00:49:20What we had was different.
00:49:22Dude I.
00:49:27I just can't believe you picked.
00:49:29Cody Rhodes over me.
00:49:33And you know.
00:49:35I got to be honest with everybody.
00:49:36I.
00:49:38With everything that's happening right now.
00:49:40Between the disrespect.
00:49:42Shown to me by WWE and.
00:49:44Randy breaking my.
00:49:46My trust.
00:49:48Like that.
00:49:49I.
00:49:51I really don't know.
00:49:52If or when.
00:49:55I can come back.
00:50:07Kevin Owens.
00:50:08I don't know what.
00:50:10Anyone else has planned for Kevin Owens.
00:50:12But I need to get my hands on Kevin Owens.
00:50:14And I want to do it at Crown Jewel.
00:50:16I had a feeling this was coming.
00:50:18Randy.
00:50:19I'm sorry.
00:50:22It's just not something I can do right now.
00:50:24What do you mean it's not something that you can do it right now.
00:50:28You don't understand.
00:50:30It's not that I won't.
00:50:32I can't.
00:50:33You can't.
00:50:34I don't think you understand.
00:50:36What I'm saying.
00:50:37I don't think you understand.
00:50:38Right.
00:50:39I don't think you understand what I'm saying.
00:50:40I'm not asking permission.
00:50:42With all due respect.
00:50:43What I am saying is I want Kevin Owens at Crown Jewel.
00:50:45With all due respect.
00:50:47I'm saying I can't.
00:50:49Because it's coming.
00:50:51From up above.
00:50:56Right.
00:50:58Oh, then I guess.
00:51:00I guess I know who I need to talk to.
00:51:02A-Town.
00:51:04Randy Orton denied a request for a match at Crown Jewel.
00:51:11We've got another triple threat tag team match coming your way.
00:51:14And wait.
00:51:16I still can't get over the fact that Roman Reigns a few minutes ago said he is going to acknowledge Solo Sokoa tonight.
00:51:20What's the old adage?
00:51:22If you can't beat him, join him.
00:51:24Is that where Roman Reigns' mind is at?
00:51:26We're going to find out later on tonight.
00:51:28The following is a triple threat tag team qualifying match.
00:51:33Introducing first, the team of Grayson Waller and Austin Theory.
00:51:39A-Town.
00:51:41Down under.
00:51:43Oh, wait.
00:51:44Theory and Waller certainly know what it takes to succeed in a tag team match.
00:51:48And they're going to do it.
00:51:50And they're going to do it.
00:51:52And they're going to do it.
00:51:54And they're going to do it.
00:51:55Grayson Waller certainly know what it takes to succeed at the highest level when the stakes are at their pinnacle.
00:52:01Another number one contender's triple threat qualifier.
00:52:04A-Town, down under.
00:52:06Versus Los Garzas.
00:52:08And the new tag team on SmackDown,
00:52:10The Machine Guns, are here next.
00:52:17It is time for the second triple threat tag team qualifying match of the evening.
00:52:22of the evening. There you see Ferto on your left, Angel on your right, and Electra Lopez
00:52:29in the middle, all representing Legado del Fantasma. The winner of this triple threat
00:52:34will advance to next week and battle DIY with the winners receiving a tag team title shot.
00:52:52Raise your fist. Raise your fist. Raise your fist.
00:53:09Let's go.
00:53:10And your opponents, the team of Alex Shelley and Chris Saban, Motor City Machine Guns.
00:53:27This debut has been a long time coming. The Motor City Machine Guns, the newest addition
00:53:33to the tag team division. Nick Ault is looking to his past to help shape the future here
00:53:39on SmackDown. Quite simply weighed, Alex Shelley, Chris Saban have innovated and influenced
00:53:46the entire modern day tag team game. They're quite simply your favorite tag team, favorite
00:53:53tag team. Three time TNA wrestling tag team champions looking to test their skills in
00:54:00WWE. You might be right there, Corey. These guys and Cody Rhodes mentioned a few historical
00:54:06examples earlier, but the Motor City Machine Guns are the ultimate. These guys are great,
00:54:13but what if they competed in WWE? Now we're going to find out and it is not started well
00:54:19at all. Chris Saban receiving a very painful welcome to WWE again under triple threat tag
00:54:24team rules. One member of each team remains legal at all times. So the Motor City Machine
00:54:30Guns have been trending online all day after it was announced they're here. The knives
00:54:35are out in the locker room for the Motor City Machine Guns. You're not just going to
00:54:40waltz into SmackDown and take over. Well, again, when it comes to tag team chemistry,
00:54:45Saban and Shelley, second to none, they have influenced and created a brand new style of
00:54:51tag team wrestling, which has really become the norm over the last decade or so. And it
00:54:55could be argued that Shelley and Saban were the innovators of it. Yeah, absolutely. They
00:54:59have dominated around the world. The question is, can you do it under the biggest spotlight
00:55:04of all against the best teams here in WWE? Here we go. He was shot out of a cannon. Chris
00:55:12Saban taking everybody down, but Waller just dropped Shelley with a right hand. Remember
00:55:18Waller in theory back at WrestleMania became tag team champions in a six pack challenge
00:55:23ladder match. They've been complaining about losing those championships ever since this
00:55:28is their ticket back to the big time. Well, that ticket may have just been ripped off
00:55:34by the Motor City Machine Guns. Let me ask you this, Wade. With all of the accomplishments
00:55:41in the Machine Guns career, is it an advantage having inspired so many wrestlers over the
00:55:46last generation? Just puts added pressure on the shoulders of the Motor City Machine
00:55:51Guns. Yeah, you've dominated around the world. You are expected to do the same here on SmackDown.
00:55:57Can you live up to the billing that you've created for yourselves over the past 18 or
00:56:02so years? Alex Shelley, an absolute wizard when it comes to technical wrestling. There
00:56:07was nothing fancy there. Waller just knocked Shelley's teeth down his throat. Beautiful
00:56:15double team by Legado Del Fantasma, Angel Inverto. Alex Shelley spending a significant
00:56:23amount of time up in the air before being driven face first into the buckle. High, low,
00:56:28that could do it. Oh, Alex Shelley getting beaten from pillar to post on his debut here
00:56:34on SmackDown. Good kick by Angel right between the eyes of Grayson Waller. And again, at
00:56:40stake here, an opportunity. Beautiful dueling moonsault. Santos Escobar has been demanding
00:56:47opportunities for his man here on SmackDown, as well as Electro Lopez who stood at ringside.
00:56:54They are proving their worth right now. And again, the winners of this triple threat will
00:56:59advance to battle DIY next week with the winners of that contest earning a tag team title opportunity.
00:57:06Grayson Waller looking for a vintage Waller. Denied. Caught out of midair by Alex Shelley
00:57:13firing off knees. Spectacular double team by the Motor City Machine Guns. It's about
00:57:21time the Motor City Machine Guns started bouncing back, but immediately on the offense once
00:57:26again is Angel. This could be a bit of a learning curve we're seeing here, Wade. Different level
00:57:32of competition. I've been a cynic from the word go. You have to prove it once you get
00:57:37here to the very top level on SmackDown. Oh, my goodness. What power being shown by
00:57:42Angel and Birdo now from the top turnbuckle. My God. What a devastation in ring. Can they
00:57:51get the three count? Covered by Birdo. This fortuitous landing for A-Town down under.
00:57:59Spectacular effort there. Tag made. Lost in theory now legal for A-Town down under. Angel
00:58:06hung across the top turnbuckle. Big drop kick by Austin Theory. Keep your eyes on Birdo.
00:58:13Caught Shelley with an enziguri in midair. Back elbow rocks Birdo. And Theory driving
00:58:24Birdo down across his own knee. A-Town down under wants the gold yet again. No idea how
00:58:31Alex Shelley is still standing at this point given the volley of abuse he's received but
00:58:35he caught the tag and Saban's in there. And this is why the Machine Guns are so special.
00:58:42Flawless teamwork. This is what all this one impression of the tag division and prove you
00:58:48are the best team in the industry. Great teams are always on the same page. The Motor City
00:58:53Machine Guns practically in the same syllable. Now Alex Shelley, purse on the top. Saban
00:58:59with Birdo in his clutches. Beautiful splash into the neck breaker. The Motor City Machine
00:59:07Guns do it in their debut. Here are your winners, Motor City Machine Guns. It was not easy
00:59:20nor did Saban and Shelley expect it to be. But the outcome was the desired one. Welcome
00:59:27to SmackDown, the Motor City Machine Guns. They advance against DIY next week. Right now
00:59:35I'd like to welcome my guests both Carmelo Hayes and Andrade just one week before their
00:59:41scheduled proverbial Game 7 matchup here on SmackDown. But tonight. And there really ain't
00:59:48nothing to talk about. You close your mouth bro. Ain't nobody paying to hear you speak
00:59:54anyway. How about you shut the hell up?
01:00:17Game 7 coming your way. It has gotten so personal between Carmelo and Andrade.
01:00:23That was Game 6.5 but next week is the big one. You're right Corey.
01:00:27I don't know anything about snatching another man's chain as it never ends well for the
01:00:32person doing the stealing.
01:00:34The following contest is a tag team match. Check it for one call. Introducing first,
01:00:57from Orlando, Florida, Naomi!
01:01:03Well Naomi no doubt riding high after pinning Nia Jax in the middle of the ring last week
01:01:09but the work is just beginning. Naomi joins forces with Bayley to battle Nia Jax and Candice
01:01:16LeRae in tag team action. Live next on SmackDown.
01:01:29It is time for tag team action in the women's division. There you see Candice LeRae, the
01:01:35newly crowned first ever WWE women's speed champion. There you've got Bayley, the Grand
01:01:42Slam champion here in WWE standing beside Naomi who somehow managed to defeat this irresistible
01:01:49force last week Wade. I'm still shocked that Candice LeRae is out here and she's partnering
01:01:56with Nia Jax. Making her way to the ring, from San Diego, California, she is the WWE
01:02:10Women's Champion, Nia Jax!
01:02:16Nia Jax no doubt has a lot on her mind. Never mentioned the fact that Tiffany Stratton was
01:02:20her scheduled partner tonight but how about what's going down at Crown Jewel. We heard
01:02:25Cody talk about it regarding his battle with Gunther. The same happens on the women's side
01:02:29of things. Women's World Champion Liv Morgan battles WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax. The
01:02:36winner becomes the first ever women's WWE Crown Jewel Champion. Again, two weeks from
01:02:43tomorrow streaming live on Peacock and Nia's face tells the entire story. We're used to
01:02:48seeing the million dollar smile on that wrecking ball but Nia skeptical to say the least of
01:02:53Candice LeRae as her partner tonight Wade. Nia Jax has a ton on her plate, not least
01:02:57the Crown Jewel Championship in just over two weeks time and Nick Aldis, the GM of SmackDown
01:03:04should have given Jax the night off once Tiffany Stratton was out with the flu. Cover by Jax
01:03:10looking to end this one early. That is why Nia Jax is such a pro. She's been screwed
01:03:16over by Nick Aldis tonight yet still straight out of the blocks taking full control. Now
01:03:21show us what you can do Candice LeRae. First glimpse of the Poison Pixie in this tag team
01:03:27matchup. Bayley wasting no time, ripping advantage away from the opposing team. Tag made to
01:03:33Naomi. Candice LeRae has been very unhappy in the locker room in recent months as has
01:03:39Indi Hart here. Both feel like they've been due some opportunities while they certainly
01:03:45make good on that in the case of LeRae in winning the WWE Women's Speed Championship
01:03:51but imagine pulling out another victory here tonight. That would add some real momentum.
01:03:56You can find WWE Speed streaming each and every Wednesday exclusively on X. Right now
01:04:02Naomi having a little fun at the champion's expense. Maybe a little too much fun. My goodness
01:04:09Jax feeling the glow. Be very careful how much fun you're having when you're at mid
01:04:16match with Queen Nia. The irresistible force into the cover. Taking on Nia Jax is a number
01:04:28of experiences none of which can ever be described as fun. Pain personified you have to keep
01:04:36your focus non-stop. Naomi this is what happens. Big spine buster by the WWE Women's Champion
01:04:44and that's going to do it. What a senton by Nia. Somehow Naomi survives. This tag team
01:04:53match continues. Can Naomi and Bayley get back in it? Tag team action continues tonight
01:05:03on Smackdown. Naomi and Bayley battling Candice LeRae and WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax. Tag
01:05:10made on both sides. Here comes the role model. This is the fresh Bayley after Naomi has taken
01:05:16an utter beat down over the past five minutes or so. Now Candice LeRae has to start figuring
01:05:23out something very quick indeed. Bayley like a one woman wrecking crew right now. Flattening
01:05:29Jax and LeRae looking for the belly to back suplex. Nice technique there from LeRae stopping
01:05:35the role model in her tracks. And the poison pixie eats the top turnbuckle. This has been
01:05:44a huge prove it opportunity for Candice LeRae. Sunset flip spine first into the turnbuckle.
01:05:51Bayley scrambling for a cover. And Nia Jax making her presence known. Big kick by Naomi.
01:06:01Naomi bouncing back and cleaning the cloth of the champ and queen of the ring Nia Jax.
01:06:07In synchro. Bayley right now is feeling it as is Naomi. Naomi takes down Jax on the outside.
01:06:19High risk and it paid off. But it backfired now on Bayley. Indi Hartwell on the outside
01:06:25geeing up her mentor Candice LeRae. Can Candice LeRae score a shocking victory here? LeRae
01:06:33going for broke and Bayley one step ahead. LeRae tossed unceremoniously back into the
01:06:41ring but watch Indi Hartwell. Indi Hartwell just shoved Bayley into the ring post. Pays
01:06:48to have good friends at ringside when you're up against the best like Bayley. What a moonsault.
01:06:55Into the cover. What an upset. Here are your winners the team of Candice LeRae and the
01:07:07WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax. Wait I don't know if there's anybody in this arena as shocked
01:07:16as Candice's own partner Nia Jax. That was incredible. One of the most incongruous duos
01:07:23we have ever seen tagging together here on Smackdown and it seems Nia Jax is angry that
01:07:30she didn't get the victory herself but still it's a big dog. Congrats to Candice LeRae
01:07:36for stepping up when it really counts. What a win for Nia Jax and Candice LeRae. The time
01:07:41is almost upon us Wade. We heard from Roman Reigns lips himself earlier tonight that Roman
01:07:47would acknowledge solo in this very arena. I don't know how it's going to go down but
01:07:52it's coming our way. What do you think Smackdown will look like next week when we get to Brooklyn
01:07:56if Roman acknowledges solo tonight? Well I'll believe it when I see it but you're right
01:08:00we are heading over to Brooklyn next Friday and you heard from Cody Rhodes earlier tonight
01:08:06he challenged Gunther to meet him in the ring at Smackdown. Well it is happening.
01:08:11What will go down a little over a week before these two will clash and ground you'll find
01:08:16out next week at Smackdown. Tonight we have witnessed two incredible triple threat tag
01:08:21team match qualifiers. The winners of both will meet next Friday in Brooklyn. The Motor
01:08:27City Machine Guns in their second ever match on Smackdown battle DIY for a shot at the
01:08:33champions. They are tied at 3-3 for these two bitterest of enemies. They get a deciding
01:08:42game 7 next week. Andrade, Mello in a match neither man's ego will allow him to lose.
01:08:50That is next Friday here on Smackdown.
01:08:55I am standing by with Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis. Nick we just saw what took place
01:09:03between Andrade and Carmelo Hayes. Andrade and Carmelo have been escorted from the building
01:09:07because this thing isn't going to be settled backstage it's going to be settled in the
01:09:10squared circle and that's next week on Smackdown from Brooklyn. But the thing is because this
01:09:14is such a personal issue and because this is game 7 I decided we needed a special referee
01:09:19who could handle business. A referee who quite frankly hates both of these men equally.
01:09:24You know that's the funny thing about this because I have no reason to even be involved
01:09:27in this if you're quite honest. I've already beaten both of them twice. So here's the thing
01:09:31if you want me to go ahead and go in there I'll put on the zebra stripes I'll be the
01:09:34best referee WWE has ever seen. As a matter of fact in 20 years you'll probably put me
01:09:37in as a wrestler and as a referee I accept. But here's the thing gentlemen if you come
01:09:41in there I'm calling it down the middle and here's how it goes. You think you're signing
01:09:45up for a little shot at this? No no all you're signing up for is to get smacked back to factory
01:09:49settings. And your aspirations for this championship? Up in smoke. So it goes. Yeah.
01:09:59LA Knight special guest referee next week.
01:10:15LA Knight special guest referee next week.
01:10:45Will Roman Reigns acknowledge the new Tribal Chief Solo Sakoa? We find out next.
01:11:15RTC! RTC! RTC!
01:11:45Columbia, South Carolina!
01:12:05Maybe for the last time
01:12:15Acknowledge me!
01:12:35Maybe for the last time Reigns, this is absolutely unfathomable. Roman Reigns
01:12:43admitted to Jimmy Uso earlier that Roman himself, the OTC, would acknowledge Solo
01:12:51Sakoa. Well if Roman Reigns really is about to acknowledge the new Tribal Chief, my, how
01:13:01the mighty will have fallen. It's said that the greatest of leaders know when they're
01:13:09outgunned. Could that be the case with Roman? Has Roman just resigned himself to the reality
01:13:15that Solo and the Tongans and Jacob Fatu are just too powerful? Solo Sakoa looks like he's
01:13:25out here ready to fight. So whatever Roman Reigns has in store here, he needs to tread
01:13:33very carefully. Solo, as usual, adorned in the sacred hula hala.
01:14:03RTC! RTC! RTC!
01:14:17Earlier tonight, I heard that you told Jay that our family's stronger now.
01:14:33You told Jay that our bloodline, we're stronger now.
01:14:43I don't see it. I don't see anything that tells me we're better off now. If anything,
01:15:05we're divided and broken. After everything we've been through, everything we went
01:15:13through in the spring, everything that we lost through the summer, and we stand here
01:15:21and we stand here divided like this. Solo, I told my father that I could fix this.
01:15:44All I want to do is put us back in the promised land. I want titles around our waist. I want
01:15:56paydays coming from the heavens. I want abundance. I want our family to be priority. Tell me
01:16:02what I have to do to fix this. What you have to do? That's an easy fix, Roman. What do
01:16:18you have to do to fix this? I'll tell you what. All you have to do is acknowledge me.
01:16:48I acknowledge you. There. I acknowledge you. Does that make you feel better?
01:17:18No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Roman, that's not good enough. I need you to acknowledge
01:17:33me as your tribal chief.
01:18:03I need you to acknowledge me as your tribal chief or else. Or else what? Look at you.
01:18:25There he is. I knew it. You never changed. You never changed. You've always wanted this,
01:18:31huh? Since you never changed, I'll never change either.
01:18:37What a snap of his fingers solo. Oh, wait. Oh, my God. That's Jimmy Uso.
01:18:55There he is. There he is.
01:19:10Solo trying to take out Roman, but here comes Reigns.
01:19:18Jimmy Uso looks like he's been thrown out of a moving vehicle. Roman Reigns now has to fire up this
01:19:23mob on his own. Here comes Jacob Batu. Committed claw ride by the OTC. Superman Punch takes down
01:19:34Solo. Devastating superstar in our industry. Holding his own against a bunch of savages.
01:19:44Beautiful. The ultimate symbol of power in the bloodline.
01:19:51Solo from behind. The bloodline in a fight by their own set of rules.
01:20:18A low blow to Roman Reigns and now the bloodline helms are attacking.
01:20:24Tonight the hyenas feast on Roman Reigns. And there is simply nobody to help the now
01:20:34former tribal chief.
01:20:53For the second week in a row, Roman Reigns has attempted to stand against his bloodline.
01:21:00And as a result, has been sacrificed at the altar of Solo.
01:21:28Roman Reigns looks like a man out of ounces of perhaps another spike by Solo.
01:21:36Out of hope. Stand against the bloodline at your own peril.
01:21:47Even if you are the OTC.
01:22:01This is my ring now. This is my uber follow. I'm the tribal chief.
01:22:07This is my bloodline. These people acknowledge me.
