00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:30Welcome to Vegas, where this weekend, history will be made.
00:00:34The strip is pulsing with anticipation as fans from all over the world have descended on Sin City for WrestleMania 41.
00:00:42Allegiant Stadium is going to be record-breaking come Saturday afternoon when that NFL venue becomes the grandest stage of them all.
00:00:50The WWE will never be the same after what happens there.
00:00:54We are less than a mile away on the other side of I-15 at the famed T-Mobile Arena.
00:01:00Where a hyped crowd has come to experience the annual Night Football Pania edition of SmackDown.
00:01:08And, oh, what a show they are ready for.
00:01:11A year removed from finishing his story.
00:01:14Now, Cody Rhodes faces what he's described as a duty to save the sport.
00:01:18In 48 hours, he defends the undisputed championship against John Cena.
00:01:23Tonight, we will hear their final words before it all.
00:01:27And we've got gold to be controlled.
00:01:30The Motor City Machine Guns know what it feels like to have the championships in their hands.
00:01:35Tonight, they can win them back.
00:01:37But the Street Profits are proving they are the best versions of themselves in recent months.
00:01:43The WWE Tag Team Champions are out to defend in Sin City.
00:01:49And pulling up here to T-Mobile.
00:01:53To start off this WrestleMania weekend is Solo Sokoa and Tama Tonga.
00:02:02The night before, Jacob Batu will fight for the U.S. Championship.
00:02:08And Solo finds himself in...
00:02:10Oh!
00:02:14No!
00:02:14I guess L.A. Knight is ready, Wade Barrett.
00:02:19Fight fire with fire.
00:02:21That looked nasty on the arm of Tama Tonga.
00:02:27Look at this scene here inside T-Mobile Arena.
00:02:32The final step on the road to WrestleMania.
00:02:36We have arrived.
00:02:39Burn it down!
00:02:45Burn it down!
00:02:45Burn it down!
00:02:58Burn it down!
00:02:59Burn it down!
00:03:00Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:03:16Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Seth Brinkin' Rollins!
00:03:26Seth Rollins' weight is one sleep away from a match that will likely define the remainder of his career.
00:03:37He started this week by stopping CM Punk and Roman Reigns into the ring,
00:03:42and now he closes it with his visit to Friday Night SmackDown.
00:03:46Yeah, and will the fans be singing this very song at the close of WrestleMania Saturday?
00:03:53Today, Seth freaking Rollins, who managed to drop both CM Punk and Roman Reigns this past Monday on Raw with that stomp.
00:04:05That will be his ticket to victory in the main event on WrestleMania Saturday.
00:04:23Theondräks
00:04:26Theondräks
00:04:33Theondräks
00:04:38Las Vegas!
00:05:08It ain't Monday, it's Friday, but I think it still works.
00:05:13Let's try it out.
00:05:15Welcome to Friday Night Rawlins!
00:05:22And I'm your host for tonight.
00:05:25I am a visionary.
00:05:27I am a revolutionary.
00:05:29I am set.
00:05:31Free Game Rawlins!
00:05:38Free Game Rawlins!
00:06:08We'll get to the OTC in just a minute,
00:06:32but I'd like to start with that guy whose name you were chanting first.
00:06:38That's it.
00:06:48That's the reason he came back to wrestling, right?
00:06:54Because all of you chanted his name for 10 long years.
00:07:02That's why he came back, right?
00:07:06Except when CM Punk came back to the ring, it wasn't a WWE ring.
00:07:16So, did he come back because you guys were chanting his name or did he come back because
00:07:25they gave him a big fat check.
00:07:35But you know, when he burned that bridge, like he burned every other bridge, he did
00:07:41finally come back to WWE after 10 long years.
00:07:46And was it because you guys chanted his name?
00:07:51No, it was because they wrote him another big fat check.
00:08:04CM Punk likes to pretend...
00:08:14Tell me when I'm telling lies.
00:08:22CM Punk loves to pretend that he came back for all of you.
00:08:30CM Punk doesn't care about you.
00:08:32He doesn't care about WWE.
00:08:35He's a liar.
00:08:36He's a fraud.
00:08:38He's a coward.
00:08:47And say what you will about Roman Reigns, Mr. OTC.
00:08:54The OTC, he doesn't even pretend to care about you guys.
00:09:14He doesn't even pretend to care about WWE.
00:09:18And you can believe that.
00:09:21The OTC only cares about the OTC.
00:09:26Roman Reigns is in the Roman Reigns business.
00:09:29He's Mr. Private Jet, Mr. Limited Schedule, Mr. Handpicked Opponent.
00:09:36Roman Reigns.
00:09:38Oh, yeah.
00:09:41Roman Reigns, Roman Reigns, Roman Reigns, Roman Reigns.
00:10:00He loves that.
00:10:01He loves when you love him.
00:10:04Roman Reigns knows nothing about sacrifice.
00:10:09CM Punk knows nothing about sacrifice.
00:10:12I know everything about sacrifice.
00:10:18And funny enough, guys, this whole story between myself, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk,
00:10:31it started 12 years ago, and it started with Paul Heyman.
00:10:40That's the truth.
00:10:41Paul Heyman brought myself, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose into WWE to be a shield for CM Punk.
00:10:55And every single night, I sacrificed everything I had in this ring to be that shield.
00:11:07And did I get any of the credit?
00:11:09Absolutely not.
00:11:10Because everybody in the back wanted the cameras and the spotlight on Roman Reigns.
00:11:21It was always about Roman Reigns.
00:11:24Roman Reigns is going to be the next John Cena.
00:11:27Roman Reigns is going to be the next cash cow for WWE.
00:11:31Look at Roman Reigns, put the spotlight on Roman Reigns.
00:11:35And every single year, this went along.
00:11:40And in the background, after CM Punk had gone away, taken his ball and went home,
00:11:47I heard little echoes of CM Punk chants.
00:12:02Meanwhile, I was making every show.
00:12:06I was in the ring every night, sacrificing everything that I had.
00:12:14And it all came to a head.
00:12:17Last year, in the main event of WrestleMania, where my knee was hanging on by a thread.
00:12:25My stepdad was at home, dying of cancer.
00:12:29But I made sure that I was there, at the very end, to be a shield, to make sure that Roman Reigns lost.
00:12:41And the last few years.
00:12:45Since I gave up, the end of it, it's the wind that the great of man�—
00:12:47Mike to step!
00:12:48Mike to step!
00:12:50Mike to step!
00:12:51Mike to step!
00:12:53Mike to step!
00:12:55Mike to step!
00:12:59This story between us started 12 years ago
00:13:18when Paul Heyman brought myself and Roman into WWE.
00:13:25And it ends tomorrow night
00:13:28in the most important triple threat match
00:13:33in the history of this industry.
00:13:39And I promise you,
00:13:42I will do exactly what I have done
00:13:45for the past 12 years.
00:13:48I will lay it all on the line.
00:13:51I will sacrifice everything that I have
00:13:57to make sure
00:13:58that this business,
00:14:02this company,
00:14:03this industry moves forward
00:14:05in the right direction.
00:14:14That's not a prediction.
00:14:15That's a spoiler.
00:14:22Oh, there was depth of reality
00:14:27as he delivered it in the punk pipe bomb position.
00:14:31The story ends tomorrow, he says, Wade.
00:14:35That was a glimpse into the fuel
00:14:37that is driving Seth Rollins
00:14:40ahead of his triple threat match tomorrow.
00:14:42The main event of WrestleMania Saturday.
00:14:45Rollins feels that he is the one
00:14:47that has done the heavy lifting
00:14:49in carrying this industry
00:14:51to the elevated level it is at today.
00:14:54Whereas his opponents,
00:14:56Roman Reigns and CM Punk,
00:14:58are merely here for the money
00:14:59and the glory.
00:15:00We'll see
00:15:01if Seth Freakin' Rollins
00:15:03can pack those words
00:15:05on tomorrow night.
00:15:06That is your main event

00:16:04and CM Punk with Paul Heyman

00:16:08They will collide in triple threat action.
00:16:12And from past friends to mortal enemies,

00:16:21as you go up against the cutthroat, Naomi.
00:16:27World Tag Team Championship clash,

00:16:32as the War Raiders put the gold on the line
00:16:35against everybody's least favorite tag team,
00:16:38the boo day.
00:16:42Now, El Grande Americano
00:16:45is an insult to Lucha Libre.
00:16:48That is according to the Hall of Famer,
00:16:50Rey Mysterio.
00:16:51Well, those two are going to square off
00:16:53in a fight for Lucha supremacy.
00:16:57That is tomorrow night.
00:16:58On the United States champ,
00:17:01LA Knight, yeah!
00:17:03He has the toughest test
00:17:05of his entire career.
00:17:06He is going to go up
00:17:07against the unstoppable savage,
00:17:10Jacob Batu.
00:17:11Again, WrestleMania Saturday.
00:17:13Bitter, personal, unprofessional.

00:17:23is Tiffany Stratton.
00:17:24Defense against the 14-time champ,
00:17:27Charlotte Flair.
00:17:28And the ring general
00:17:32has been at his brutalest worst of late,
00:17:36but that has perhaps galvanized
00:17:38main event Jey Uso,
00:17:40who will look to do the unthinkable
00:17:42and yeet his way
00:17:43to the World Heavyweight Championship
00:17:46tomorrow night.
00:17:47That is your WrestleMania Saturday card.
00:17:50Remember, that gets started

00:18:49The American Nightmare,
00:18:51Cody Rhodes and John Cena.
00:18:54Their final face-off happens here tonight
00:18:57on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:18:58There are a few prizes in the industry like it.
00:19:06Wade, the first Andre of the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
00:19:08was held at WrestleMania 30.
00:19:10And here we are these years later.
00:19:12The beloved Startomania weekend.
00:19:13The tradition, the newest arrival
00:19:15who gets us started.
00:19:17with me just knowing
00:19:17it's time to get my dick back out.
00:19:19Y'all going to be dicks.
00:19:20Blue hair,
00:19:21like when you think sheAF.
00:19:23Oh.
00:19:28Oh.
00:19:28I love you.
00:19:58The following contest is the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
00:20:16The match starts with all superstars in the ring.
00:20:20When a superstar is tossed over the top rope and both feet hit the floor, they are eliminated.
00:20:26The last superstar standing in the ring will be declared the winner.
00:20:33Introducing first, from a cat in Mexico, weighing 182 pounds, Ray Phoenix!
00:20:43Drill to bring you in what is a commercial-free first hour of Friday Night Smackdown.
00:20:52And Ray Phoenix has instantly become a fan favorite.
00:20:55The endless amount of artistic offenses, third match since joining WWE, impressed us against Nathan Frazier,
00:21:02went to war with Birdo, and now gets this spotlight in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
00:21:08Been a massive impression since debuting a couple of weeks ago,
00:21:13and what a moment it would be if he could win his first piece of hardware tonight.
00:21:17The 8th wonder of the world, Andre the Giant!
00:21:29Larger than life...
00:21:30Look at the size of the Giant! 7'5!
00:21:32Unmatched in power, Andre the Giant towered over the competition with a nearly 15-year undefeated streak.
00:21:42Everywhere he went, people turned out to see him.
00:21:45There was just something magical about him.
00:21:47The first-ever inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame,
00:21:51Andre holds the record for most battle royal victories in WWE history,
00:21:56including a dominating performance at WrestleMania II.
00:22:01And in 2014, WWE established the Andre the Giant Battle Royal,
00:22:08a yearly tradition that brings the same awe and excitement that Andre himself brought to the ring.
00:22:15Tonight, who will make their mark in history
00:22:18as the winner of the Andre the Giant Battle Royal?
00:22:26A recent United States champion, Shitsuke Nakamura.
00:22:50And that hard-caught title match with LA Knight found himself entangled
00:22:56in some other anger surrounding Drew McIntyre and Davey Priest recently.
00:23:01And now a chance here to reset things
00:23:03with a showing in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
00:23:13WrestleMania is presented by Snickers.
00:23:17Snickers satisfies.
00:23:18And by WWE 2K25.

00:23:37Save today.
00:23:39Yeah, who needs a bow?
00:23:40Let's just start throwing this, guys!
00:23:42I love it.
00:23:43Why not?
00:23:44Well, I've just counted up about 26 superstars in that ring right now.
00:23:49And I'll be honest with you, it's probably...
00:23:51Would you look at Carlito and R-Truth?
00:23:55This is not the time for three-match snack, Truth.
00:23:59What are they doing?
00:24:01Look at the...
00:24:02Oh, and now Carlito turns right on Truth.
00:24:03And gets after him.
00:24:06And Truth sends out Carlito!
00:24:08Oh, what a disaster.
00:24:09Forget the Apple just trying to stay in the damn ring.
00:24:14That ain't cool.
00:24:17Now trying to get the best of Carmelo Hayes, who gets behind R-Truth.
00:24:21And now there is...
00:24:22We're out on the apron.
00:24:23Dangerous position to be in.
00:24:25Oh, and the Miz with a kick to his former championship tag team partner wing.
00:24:30Well, saving his now tag team partner in Mellow Don't Miz.
00:24:34Real chemistry growing there.
00:24:35Uh-oh.
00:24:35Oh, Karrion Kross coming off that big Monday Night Raw battle he had.
00:24:39He gets his hands right around the neck of the Miz.
00:24:41Well, these two have some unfinished business.
00:24:44Although they were feuding somewhat back in their Raw days until very recently.
00:24:48And the newly minted tag team, Mellow Don't Miz, teaming up on Karrion Kross.
00:24:54As he's able to wrap his leg around that bottom rope.
00:24:57Karrion Kross was competing last night in Bloodsport.
00:25:00Got a major victory there.
00:25:01He's been trying his best to manipulate the mind of AJ Styles.
00:25:05Los Garza with teamwork weight.
00:25:07Styles matchup on WrestleMania Sunday against Logan Paul.
00:25:11Well, this is non-stop action right from the start.
00:25:14There's a lot of tag teams competing in this particular battle.
00:25:18Roll, roll, roll.
00:25:19How about it?
00:25:21Well, Ray, Ray Phoenix there dropping.
00:25:26A good start by Phoenix.
00:25:28Oh, the uppercut.
00:25:29Two for two elimination on Los Garza for Ray Phoenix.
00:25:34And now Santos Escobar perhaps reminding him of the respect that was paid a week ago after that performance.
00:25:41And you could see the disdain in his face as he looked down at Angel Humberto.
00:25:45Far from impressed with the results of Legado.
00:25:48Del Fantasma of late may be looking to add to the ranks in the form of Ray Phoenix.
00:25:52Yes, I'm sure quite a few of our Lucha groups would love to have.
00:25:55Oh, pretty deadly.
00:25:59Pretty deadly showcasing great teamwork, Wade.
00:26:02Yeah, this is simply non-stop.
00:26:05Pretty deadly looking to get back to the very top.
00:26:07We're competing recently for 10 gold.
00:26:10Now attacking fellow Britt Tyler Bate, who's looking to make up for the lost time
00:26:14after a long injury layoff of him.
00:26:17Brayson Roller sends him out and over simultaneously.
00:26:22A-Town down under eliminating pretty deadly from the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
00:26:28Yeah, you've almost got zero chance of defending yourself when there are this many bodies in the ring.
00:26:34Need a little bit of luck and ideally some eyes in the back of your head at times.
00:26:39Now A-Town down again, but this time he backfires on them.
00:26:42Once again, we see all of our tag teams working in cahoots
00:26:46to try and take out the rest of the field.
00:26:49It's a smart strategy.
00:26:50It simply can't work for all of them.
00:26:52Oh, big strong boy!
00:26:53Tyler Bate, remember both feet must hit the outside
00:26:58and trying to hang on for dear life and his survival.
00:27:01Look at the power!
00:27:02Kaiser!
00:27:03But Kaiser with that shotgun dropkick to the midsection
00:27:08and then just stands over his fallen prey.
00:27:10I love that Kaiser was DMing me a little earlier
00:27:13telling me this is going to be a golden weekend for both him and the ring general, Gunther,
00:27:18who's defending his title against Jey Uso tomorrow on WrestleMania Saturday.
00:27:23What a start this would be for the Imperium lads if they could pull this off.
00:27:27World Heavyweight Championship match.
00:27:29Remember, a big part of WrestleMania Saturday, 7 p.m. start time, streaming on Peacock.
00:27:35The hood is starting to thin, yet we've still got at least 18 or so bodies left in that ring.
00:27:45We're sticking with this all the way through to a finish.
00:27:49Commercial free.
00:27:50Oh, on the near ropes right in front of us, look what Kaiser finds himself in trouble.
00:27:57And one foot nearly hit the ground, but able to pull himself back up on the apron
00:28:02and wrap that lower leg to secure.
00:28:06Now you see the action starting to slow down.
00:28:08The wear and tear building up on all of these athletes.
00:28:11This really is an endurance event.
00:28:13But now it's Santos Escobar who seems to be taking the ball by the horns and once again interacting with Phoenix.
00:28:19I hate you so much!
00:28:20He just got the best of Andrade moments ago, and now look at him trying to buddy up with Ray Phoenix.
00:28:26We saw this a week ago as well.
00:28:28Yeah, I'll tell you this.
00:28:29When you get a top star debuting, there's a lot of anger, a lot of bitterness, a lot of jealousy.
00:28:34However...
00:28:34Oh, watch your back, Santos!
00:28:36Hey, there are no friends in Lucha Libre.
00:28:38Santos Escobar should know that.
00:28:41One of the most celebrated Luchadors in modern history just eliminated Santos Escobar.
00:28:48And now Otis using Tozawa as a weapon on the airplane spin.
00:28:53Well, the 330-pound godiest man in the match, who is perhaps due to that size, the odds on favor.
00:29:02And now he's using Taekwondo Tozawa.
00:29:04Human missile, but it's caught.
00:29:08Three brothers.
00:29:09Just built differently, and those Green brothers in Tozawa, turned out by the massive Brutus Green.
00:29:16Otis.
00:29:17Otis.
00:29:19Looking to avenge that.
00:29:21Oh, and Otis!
00:29:22All three over the top!
00:29:24Otis eliminated!
00:29:26Julius eliminated!
00:29:27Brutus eliminated!
00:29:28Oh, just a little overzealous there from Otis, who had simply too much momentum behind that massive frame.
00:29:37Well, let's tell it how it is, Joe Test.
00:29:39This is a bunch of guys who are pretty angry deep down that they have been left off the WrestleMania card,
00:29:45and a victory here is the ideal way to let management know,
00:29:49well, hey guys, you made a mistake, don't do this again this time next year at WrestleMania porticoon.
00:29:55Make sure I'm on the card.
00:29:56But that's exactly what I love about it.
00:29:59The hunger and intensity.
00:30:01The all-out passion that's been on display instantly from the start.
00:30:06Andrade takes care of things!
00:30:08Meanwhile, on the other side, Austin Theory, as he battles out of it,
00:30:14and A-Town Down Under is eliminated!
00:30:17Well, Andrade, just a one-man wrecking crew tonight,
00:30:21doing a hell of a job in there,
00:30:23taking out A-Town Down Under on his own,
00:30:25and now Chad Gable!
00:30:26He's surrounded by luchadors!
00:30:29Luchadors surrounding Chad Gable!
00:30:32And Ray Phoenix gets the best of them!
00:30:35What's the problem with Chad Gable, Joe?
00:30:37And he's gone!
00:30:38The luchadors just got rid of Chad Gable!
00:30:41They all spotted him in the center of the ring,
00:30:44and they said, attack!
00:30:46Well, there's a lot of allegations about Chad Gable being El Grande Americano,
00:30:50and that was clearly the motivation for those luchadors,
00:30:53a completely heinous allegation spread by people like Michael Cole and Ray Mysterio.
00:30:59Chad Gable being eliminated by Ray Phoenix as the rest of the gang started it.
00:31:05Oh, and a big right hand from Karrion Kross!
00:31:09He's using you!
00:31:11He's using you!
00:31:12And the message sent by Kross,
00:31:15the man with the silver tongue,
00:31:16and now Ray Phoenix is gonna take his...
00:31:19That is, in fact, Dragon Lee!
00:31:20Dragon Lee gonna take his shot at him!
00:31:22Dropped by the massive Karrion Kross,
00:31:24the devil you know,
00:31:26the Sin City hometown man,
00:31:28could be a popular victor here in his hometown,
00:31:31but don't write off Dragon Lee!
00:31:33Kross is in trouble,
00:31:34and Dragon Lee does damage!
00:31:39Shinsuke Nakamura covering.
00:31:41Sinister and menacing Japanese star,
00:31:46who has previously won the Royal Rumble in 2018.
00:31:49Great experience for a match of this time.
00:31:52But Dragon Lee is simply too quick.
00:31:56Dragon Lee showing you the great athleticism
00:31:59as he lines him up.
00:32:02Oh, but Shinsuke delivers!
00:32:05Cleaning the clock of Dragon Lee,
00:32:07who's about to get tossed out,
00:32:09and he's eliminated!
00:32:10Dragon Lee is eliminated!
00:32:14And now we're starting to get a good idea
00:32:17of who potentially is gonna lift that trophy.
00:32:21Remember, Bronson Reed...
00:32:22Oh!
00:32:24Lovely Kaiser clinging on for dear life
00:32:26against his fellow European,
00:32:28Pete Dunne!
00:32:29Grabbing Pete Dunne by the hair,
00:32:31by the neck,
00:32:32Kaiser and Dunne.
00:32:34Remember, both feet must touch.
00:32:37Both men, precarious situation,
00:32:38right on the apron as he takes down,
00:32:40and then, as he's walked to do,
00:32:42stomps on the hands!
00:32:44Trying to get leverage against Kaiser,
00:32:46but Kaiser's smart to crawl right under
00:32:48that bottom rope before delivering a kick.
00:32:50So crafty and devious is Ludwig Kaiser.
00:32:52Really has everything to be an absolute top star here
00:32:56on SmackDown!
00:32:58Would you look at this from Pete Dunne,
00:33:00trying to create the necessary leverage
00:33:03to eliminate Ludwig Kaiser,
00:33:06and he does!
00:33:08The super from Pete Dunne,
00:33:10and Gunther must be distraught at his man.
00:33:13Kaiser being eliminated,
00:33:14he still has a big job
00:33:16to do tomorrow night against Jey Uso.
00:33:18Oh, Carmelo Hayes now,
00:33:23almost out,
00:33:24inches away from elimination.
00:33:26He was mid-air bicycling.
00:33:28Well, Pete Dunne is going on a tear here.
00:33:30He smells victory.
00:33:31Pete Dunne on the offensive attack.
00:33:34Carmelo Hayes is banding back
00:33:36the joint manipulation
00:33:37in the midst of the Battle Royal.
00:33:39Now, Melo don't.
00:33:43Miz balance precariously on the apron.
00:33:46Pete Dunne looking to clean them both out,
00:33:48and once again,
00:33:49the Miz has saved Carmelo Hayes.
00:33:51What a make-all.
00:33:52He was unselfish,
00:33:53and it cost him.
00:33:55It's rare for the Miz,
00:33:56but he is eliminated.
00:33:58Carmelo Hayes lives on.
00:34:00He's got a big thank you
00:34:01to say to the Miz after this one.
00:34:03Now, Hayes and Pete Dunne lock up,
00:34:06and just like that,
00:34:09after Dunne went on a surge,
00:34:12Melo takes care of him.
00:34:13You simply can't stand back
00:34:14and admire your handiwork
00:34:16in this kind of match.
00:34:17Get away from those ropes
00:34:19as soon as you've eliminated someone,
00:34:21and we are down to the final four.
00:34:24Who is going to lift
00:34:25the Andre the Giant Memorial Trophy?
00:34:28Ray Finis, Shinsuke Nakamura,
00:34:30Andrade, and Carmelo Hayes.
00:34:32Now, remember, this time last year,
00:34:33it was big boy Bronson Reed
00:34:35who lifted the trophy.
00:34:36What a launch pad it was for him
00:34:38to go on an absolute tear
00:34:40for the rest of 2024
00:34:41and devastate the entire locker room.
00:34:45Who's going to grab that opportunity
00:34:46this year?
00:34:47I agree with you.
00:34:48You can gather such career momentum
00:34:51with a victory here tonight
00:34:53to start up WrestleMania weekend
00:34:55here in Vegas
00:34:56as Shinsuke Nakamura
00:34:57looks to take hold
00:34:59of the situation here.
00:35:01getting the best of Andrade.
00:35:02And Shinsuke, look at the lineup
00:35:04that can shot some.
00:35:07Andrade, able to get out of the way.
00:35:10And a big boot.
00:35:12Oh, and Andrade, up top dropkick,
00:35:18and Shinsuke Nakamura is gone.
00:35:21Unfathomable athleticism
00:35:24from the Lucha superstar Andrade.
00:35:28And then there were three-way
00:35:30Phoenix, Melo, Andrade.
00:35:34We're the best moogles we've got
00:35:35in the entire company.
00:35:37Battling it out.
00:35:38Oh!
00:35:39Phoenix nearly won it!
00:35:42If he can loosen up those hands.
00:35:46But Melo, able to secure his position
00:35:48and comes on the attack.
00:35:49It was just a lack of experience
00:35:51and this time a matchup there
00:35:52from Ray Phoenix
00:35:53who thought he had got the job done
00:35:55but simply did not catch
00:35:57the feet of Melo
00:35:58or Andrade on the floor.
00:36:00They live on
00:36:01for how much longer though?
00:36:04Karana, as Andrade
00:36:05just slid over that bottom rope.
00:36:07Remember, top rope elimination.
00:36:08Both feet.
00:36:09Oh, yeah.
00:36:09Look at this athleticism
00:36:11by Phoenix.
00:36:12What a dynamo he is.
00:36:13That is simply unfair.
00:36:15Pulling out moves like that.
00:36:17The roster is just not used to it.
00:36:20As explosive
00:36:21and scintillated
00:36:22as you like.
00:36:23The explosive
00:36:24acrobatic
00:36:25high-flying
00:36:27intense style
00:36:28of Ray Phoenix.
00:36:31Yeah!
00:36:35And here is Phoenix.
00:36:37Oh!
00:36:38He was going for
00:36:39goodbye Amigo Springboard
00:36:40and all of a sudden
00:36:41it's El Grande Americano!
00:36:43El Grande Americano
00:36:45has just eliminated
00:36:47Ray Phoenix.
00:36:49Goodbye Amigo.
00:36:51Hello, hello Americano!
00:36:53While Ray Phoenix
00:36:54has been on a tear.
00:36:59And what a shocking turn
00:37:01of events here.
00:37:03El Grande Americano
00:37:05came in out of nowhere
00:37:07and Ray Phoenix
00:37:09is eliminated.
00:37:11It comes down to
00:37:12Carmelo Hayes
00:37:13and Andrade.
00:37:14Remember,
00:37:15in 2024
00:37:16they had that
00:37:17sensational
00:37:18seven-match
00:37:20series.
00:37:22That is what is on the line.
00:37:23Well, you have to think
00:37:24El Grande Americano
00:37:25was far from impressed
00:37:26with the lack
00:37:27of sporting behavior
00:37:28of the luchadors
00:37:30in this match
00:37:30who threw out
00:37:31Chad Gable.
00:37:32They'd end up on it.
00:37:33A little payback there
00:37:34from El Grande Americano.
00:37:36I'm impressed.
00:37:37Andrade was looking
00:37:37for the message.
00:37:39Hayes looks to counter.
00:37:40Back and forth
00:37:41they go.
00:37:42They have such
00:37:43familiarity
00:37:43with each other
00:37:44after what they went
00:37:45through in 2024.
00:37:47Doubling up the
00:37:48clothesline.
00:37:49Remember,
00:37:49that great series
00:37:50was for the number
00:37:51one contender
00:37:51for the U.S. title.
00:37:53It was tied up
00:37:533-3 when it came
00:37:54down to a quarter
00:37:55and quarter.
00:37:55Seventh match!
00:37:57And L.A.
00:37:58Knight
00:37:58disrupted things.
00:38:01They have had
00:38:01some of the great
00:38:02wars of the past year
00:38:03and they are
00:38:04delivering here
00:38:05the night
00:38:06before Mania.
00:38:08What a show
00:38:08by Carmelo Hayes
00:38:10and Andrade.
00:38:1217,000 plus
00:38:14here at T-Mobile Arena.
00:38:15Both men
00:38:16flattened out
00:38:17in the ring
00:38:18giving it everything
00:38:19they've got.
00:38:20What an opportunity
00:38:21this is
00:38:21to set your compass
00:38:23for the rest
00:38:24of 2025
00:38:25by lifting
00:38:26this prestigious
00:38:27trophy

00:38:29using it
00:38:30as a launch pad
00:38:32for further
00:38:33greatness.
00:38:34A lot on the line
00:38:35between these two.
00:38:35one of the most
00:38:38distinct
00:38:39trophies
00:38:40in the industry.

00:38:42now running
00:38:43on fumes
00:38:44desperate
00:38:45to lift this thing.
00:38:49Andrade
00:38:50seemingly
00:38:52in control
00:38:54but Hayes
00:38:55looks to lock
00:38:56him up
00:38:56and counter
00:38:57himself
00:38:58and he does.
00:38:59Suplex
00:39:00into a cut-up move
00:39:01completely
00:39:02dropping
00:39:03Andrade.
00:39:05Andrade
00:39:05looking for the win

00:43:42of course the future
00:43:43Hall of Famer
00:43:44on the attack again
00:43:45so this was last week
00:43:46on Smackdown
00:43:47Stratton was celebrating
00:43:48a win against
00:43:49Sam Perez
00:43:50when Charlotte Flair
00:43:51had been sent home
00:43:52earlier in the day
00:43:53she struck
00:43:54beat the hell out of the
00:43:55champ
00:43:55and some of our
00:43:56security guys
00:43:57that was
00:43:58up until
00:43:59a handsome
00:44:00commentator
00:44:01bravely prevented
00:44:02further damage
00:44:03now I actually
00:44:05managed to have a
00:44:05sit down with
00:44:06Charlotte Flair
00:44:07a couple of days ago
00:44:08let's take you to a
00:44:09snippet of that
00:44:09right now
00:44:10well things between
00:44:15you and Tiffany
00:44:16have certainly got
00:44:17personal of late
00:44:18there have been
00:44:19numerous
00:44:20verbal attacks
00:44:21physical attacks
00:44:23you in fact
00:44:24have even been
00:44:25sent home from
00:44:26an arena by
00:44:27management
00:44:28which you then
00:44:29returned and
00:44:29attacked Tiffany
00:44:30once again
00:44:31tell us why
00:44:32things have got
00:44:33so ugly
00:44:34between the two
00:44:35of you
00:44:35I don't love it
00:44:42we've moved
00:44:45past it
00:44:46I have a chip
00:44:50on my shoulder
00:44:51and if I really
00:44:52look deep
00:44:53into Tiffany
00:44:54I think she's
00:44:54got a chip
00:44:55on her shoulder
00:44:56like I said
00:45:00I don't love it
00:45:01but now people
00:45:02are really
00:45:03invested
00:45:03in this
00:45:04Wrestlemania
00:45:04match
00:45:05and
00:45:06if there's
00:45:08anything
00:45:08that matters
00:45:09most to me
00:45:10it's that people
00:45:11tune in to see

00:45:21we got there
00:45:21but
00:45:23people are
00:45:28invested
00:45:28and I think
00:45:29at the end
00:45:29of the day
00:45:30that's what
00:45:31this business
00:45:31is about
00:45:32sometimes
00:45:33it can be
00:45:34insensitive

00:51:51i think
00:52:08the current
00:52:09champ clearly
00:52:10disagrees with
00:52:11that statement
00:52:12yeah this is a
00:52:13woman who has
00:52:14been disrespected
00:52:15and overlooked
00:52:16too many times
00:52:17over the past
00:52:18few weeks
00:52:19by some quarters
00:52:20they've treated
00:52:21it as a
00:52:21foregone
00:52:22conclusion
00:52:23that Wrestlemania
00:52:2541 will be
00:52:26a crowning
00:52:27moment for
00:52:27either Rhea
00:52:28bloody
00:52:29Ripley
00:52:29or Bianca
00:52:31Bale

00:52:36the greatest
00:52:37this industry

00:52:40reigning
00:52:40champ

01:03:17diy
01:03:18the result that diy very bothered by
01:03:22that match remember had the exposed turnbuckle
01:03:24played a factor
01:03:24controversial
01:03:25they have been convinced there has been a conspiracy against them ever since
01:03:30some would also say it was just
01:03:31bad luck
01:03:32but right now we have at least
01:03:34some order in our tag
01:03:36division after months of chaos
01:03:38because here are all dominant champions
01:03:41and they're a pump
01:03:44with a total combined weight of 492 pounds
01:03:49they are the wwe tag team champions
01:03:55angelo ducking
01:03:57montez for
01:03:59the street
01:04:01wait i gotta tell you i was gonna get kicked on social media because the champs have been
01:04:07enjoying their status here in vegas you look at their social media posts
01:04:11and it is exploding with the shopping streets here in vegas
01:04:15tes on social media san angelo is gucci down to the socks
01:04:20here but now of course the only fashion that matters is holding the leather and precious metal
01:04:25that they can wear around their waist
01:04:27i wish i had the kind of bank balance that i could go out shopping with the street profits
01:04:31unfortunately not but i would like to party with them sometime perhaps if they are victorious in this defense
01:04:38we'll be able to oh here we go
01:04:39you got wrestlemania after dark
01:04:41wait just get to live tonight at fountain blue
01:04:43wasting no time
01:04:44saban and shelley
01:04:45so here's the deal between these teams of course go back in time
01:04:49it was the motor city machine guns who previously held the titles now
01:04:53they lost those titles they had several opportunities
01:04:56to recapture them since but one in particular that the royal rumble was
01:05:02blown out of the water by a sneak attack from the street profit so there is
01:05:07some real beef between these two teams let alone just trying to capture the goal
01:05:13shelley and saban teaming up against montez ford
01:05:17you see the synchronicity always plays a factor with motor city machine guns
01:05:24that early cover and tes with plenty left in him of course
01:05:28and i'll tell you this about the motor city machine guns they are two of the
01:05:31greatest tag team exponents the industry has ever seen real veterans top names
01:05:37however they have simply been too nice during their time here on smackdown since
01:05:42arriving they have been taken advantage of and that hot start
01:05:46before the bell from the machine guns tells me they may have turned the corner here
01:05:50that's a great funnel up by tes
01:05:53and saban and tes showcasing the dynamic athleticism that he always puts on display
01:06:01what i've been impressed with most since the return of the street profits is they
01:06:05finally realized the size game we've seen all the flash in the past they are the biggest
01:06:11strongest team in this deep division here on smackdown and they've now figured out how to use that
01:06:18the remaining teams haven't had an answer just like you see here in front of you with the six
01:06:23foot five 260 pound angelo dawkins he is the powerhouse of these champions and make no mistake
01:06:31montez ford is a powerhouse right to it beautiful blockbuster doomsday device and the blockbuster
01:06:39couldn't finish things off thanks as alex shelley comes in for the save and dawkins looks to clear
01:06:45him out but instead it's shelley getting him to the outside
01:06:51he was looking for flight but he ate a big thunderous right hand by dawkins
01:06:57glad you're with us joe tessitore and wade barrett on the final step on the road to wrestlemania and it
01:07:13comes with tag team championships on the line the street profits angelo dawkins and montez ford battling
01:07:21motor city machine guns well that was a hundred miles an hour start from both teams in this one the action
01:07:28gradually slowing down but now it's alex shelley the veteran taking full advantage
01:07:35of dawkins momentarily taking his after ball
01:07:41big kick by shelley
01:07:42and that is exactly what we were describing the size and power of dawkins take advantage of the
01:07:52advantages you have yeah you're simply not going to be able to outmaneuver and outspeed
01:07:59a team like the motor city machine guns but you need to drop them slow them down try and keep them
01:08:05grounded take away their advantages and now dawkins looking everything heavyweight slugger than he is
01:08:13he's destroying the body and frame of alex shelley
01:08:20setting up the target for tez who comes over that top rope and delivers
01:08:26now that looks chris saban right in the eyes
01:08:39this is an incredible championship victory in spain recently
01:08:44you can see the difference in what they're delivering at this stage of their careers the second run
01:08:50as world champions well spain in barcelona of course in italy and polonia and in london
01:08:56it was a hell of a euro tour for the street profits and they're looking to continue that here in the u.s
01:09:19oh
01:09:28dawkins slamming him down and into the cover looking to retain
01:09:36this audience moments ago were chanting we want the smoke trust me you don't want the
01:09:40smoke from the street profits or you'll end up looking like alex shelley is right now
01:09:45down look at the confidence for angelo dawkins
01:09:51got the gold and you're on a hot streak defeating every team in the division you've got to be feeling
01:09:56pretty damn good right now
01:10:01shelley desperate to fight back but all that took was one big right hand from dawkins to finish that
01:10:07effort off hands of stone angelo dawkins and the jaw of alex shelley is no match for those fists
01:10:15and now driving all 260 pounds right into his waistline
01:10:19tremendous crowd here at t-mobile the final step on the road to wrestlemania over 17 000 have arrived two
01:10:39weeks ago motor city machine guns defeated diy to earn this shot at the championships and now
01:10:46alex shelley gives them a chance as chris sabin comes in high energy delivering the big boot to test
01:10:54forward as sabin looks to gather momentum as a one-man show delivers the big kick to angelo dawkins what a
01:11:03tremendous gear shift there for the motor city machine guns after several minutes of torturous offense
01:11:09in the direction of alex shelley while chris sabin has swung the pendulum back in the motor
01:11:15city machine guns favor and that missile drop kick now brings alex shelley into the fray
01:11:23and he comes charging into the corner against tes ford as sabin goes up top lines him up and
01:11:29delivers again trying to become champs again lateral press and the kick out by ted just absolute masters
01:11:36at these double team moves that drop kick flat line a combination almost enough to put the champs away
01:11:44and grab gold for the motor city machine guns montez ford has no clue where he's at right now and angelo
01:11:50dawkins is down this could be the moment for the motor city machine guns to re-gap grab the goal it could be
01:11:57right here as shelley is lining him up but instead test counters and drives him right into his partner
01:12:04and delivers a big kick and sends him out of the ring such an arduous journey to win those tag titles
01:12:10the profits are not going to let go of them no they're not look at the teamwork this to retain the
01:12:16championship and the kick out as sabin keeps them alive just two absolute tag team perfectionists
01:12:25doing battle here you can see the years and years of chemistry and cohesion that has gone into both of
01:12:32these teams it's like a chess match out there it's a smart move by sabin tez off the top rover able to roll
01:12:41out of it shelley and now here comes that teamwork we've seen this before the facial they take the legs out
01:12:50and then they smash the face you get the sense that tez overestimated his ability to out maneuver
01:12:58the motor city machine guns and he may way well pay the price now
01:13:03all going for that skull and bones perhaps boy they were going for the skull and bones
01:13:08signature move but dawkins sensed it and disrupted it well that's the big
01:13:12danger against the motor city machine guns that is the one move you simply cannot allow yourselves
01:13:18to absorb oh tez oh montez ford nobody like him
01:13:25up and over the entire corner oh johnny gargano
01:13:32champa well diy just disrupted this championship match and they grab the championships well the former
01:13:42champs were convinced there is a conspiracy against them they lost to the motor city machine guns in
01:13:49controversial fashion a couple of weeks ago and the limit ever since and they are now apparently
01:13:55hijacking the tag goal that is disgusting a couple weeks ago yes there was an exposed turnbuckle
01:14:02yes motor city machine guns earned their way here but to do that and disrupt a championship match
01:14:07i'm on the way have security meet me in the order um i assume that you witnessed the travesty that

01:18:11Oh!
01:18:12Ooh!
01:18:12You got shoes, and no, no.
01:18:15Pitch, and all desire to keep you safe.
01:18:18But there .
01:18:19Do it's enough that your name will become the star of the one.
01:18:22Please welcome…
01:18:22Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, the Viper, Randy Orton!
01:18:32Of course, when Randy returns from his devastating injury, the collision course for this Wrestlemania was set to be a showdown with KO.
01:18:45But Kevin Owens' major injury news has a lot of action.
01:18:49And now, Randy's plans, they've taken a hard left turn.
01:18:55Yeah, we send our best to the price fighter as he continues his recovery.
01:19:00But in the meantime, the Viper is heading into his 20th Wrestlemania.
01:19:06And as things stand, he does not have a dance partner.
01:19:10The truth is, the Viper is ready to fight anybody at the showcase of the Immortals.
01:19:19Immortals, all the doctors are deceased.
01:19:22And the preachers are sinners and police just take the grease.
01:19:28All the doctors who are guilty, all the bosses are the fire.
01:19:34All the banks with roses, politicians are liars.
01:19:4017,000 plus here at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
01:20:08That's the full Wrestlemania 41.
01:20:11Just a couple hours before the Hall of Fame is there.
01:20:16You can see the pain in the eyes of the Viper, Randy Orton, as he looks up at that Wrestlemania side, knowing he may well miss it this year.
01:20:25Goes against the grain of what should be, in every way, a Mania without Randy Orton.
01:20:31Ladies and gents, as of now, I do not have an opponent for Wrestlemania 41.
01:20:47Now for the past few days, my wife and I, we've been here in Vegas, done the appearances, walked the strip, the hotel lobby, got to meet the WWE Universe.
01:20:57As thousands of you have approached me, I have seen it in your eyes, I have felt it in the air.
01:21:02There is an excitement for this year's Wrestlemania like none other.
01:21:08My father was in the very first Wrestlemania.
01:21:1220 years later, I debuted at the Garden.
01:21:16My father got to witness that debut.
01:21:19Wrestlemania means something to me, but my legacy has a lot to do with my longevity.
01:21:24So there is no way in hell that I am sitting out this year's Wrestlemania.
01:21:33If I compete this weekend, it will be the 20th time that I have competed at Wrestlemania.
01:21:42This Wrestlemania means so much to me.
01:21:46So I tell you what, this is what I'm going to do, ladies and gentlemen.
01:21:49I'm going to throw this out to the universe.
01:21:51I'm going to let you decide because I am going to show up Sunday, boots tied up, gear on, just the right amount of baby oil on my skin.
01:22:04And I'm going to be lock loaded and ready to deliver for you, the WWE Universe, because I'm not just doing this for myself.
01:22:14I am doing it for you.
01:22:15I am doing it for my family.
01:22:17I'm doing it for the boys in the back.
01:22:20But as far as the boys in the back are concerned, check it out.
01:22:23Anybody in the locker room wants to test their mettle, I dare them to step up.
01:22:32Anybody out on the strip, any one of you, if you own a pair of wrestling boots, hell, if you just catch the wind that Randy Orton, the legend killer, needs an opponent for Wrestlemania 41,
01:22:45I challenge you to step up, I will be there Sunday, at Legion Stadium, in the ring, ready to go.
01:22:53But know this, you will be met with, you will fall victim to the three most dangerous letters in all of sports entertainment.
01:23:03R. K. O.
01:23:05Well, don't look at me, Joe Tess, there is zero Tess I would ever get in the ring with Randy Orton, with his eyes bulging out of his head,
01:23:16his veins popping all over that cranium.
01:23:20Somebody is going to make a really bad decision if they decide to take Randy Orton up on that offer.
01:23:26And now all you're going to hear is speculation as to who it will be.
01:23:32Those three most dangerous letters, R. K. O.
01:23:35Speaking of dangerous, no thank you, speaking of dangerous, I want to take you back to earlier today,
01:23:41on the kickoff show, and what happened with Drew McIntyre.
01:23:44Wow, what a moment, it was packed out, audience.
01:23:46But Priest tried to go out on his own and succeed, he doesn't know how to succeed without Drew McIntyre.
01:23:50Don't turn your back, don't turn your back.
01:23:54Yeah, well this thing has been a powder keg for weeks, Priest and McIntyre throwing hands on sight.
01:24:00But McIntyre and Cole risking it all to try and separate those two.
01:24:05But that, of course, will not be necessary when they face up on Sunday in a Sin City street fight.
01:24:12But right now, let's go over to Byron Saxton.
01:24:17Joe, Wade, thank you guys very much.
01:24:19I'm currently standing by with Damian Priest.
01:24:22And Damian, it's clear this whole situation with yourself and Drew McIntyre has reached a boiling point.
01:24:27Like, earlier on today on the kickoff show, you guys nearly...
01:24:30I get you're trying to do your job here, man.
01:24:32But I am so done answering questions about WrestleMania.
01:24:35Right now, I just want to send a direct message to Drew McIntyre.
01:24:39The same guy who didn't bother to show up to SmackDown tonight.
01:24:43The same guy who's been trying to convince the world that he's some type of victim.
01:24:48Drew, you are not a victim, man.
01:24:50Not yet.
01:24:51You're mistaken if you think this is about me beating you in a match.
01:24:56You're not ready for this fight.
01:24:58The world isn't ready for this violence.
01:25:03You've tried really hard to paint me as some type of bad guy.
01:25:07Good.

01:26:42Oh, boy.
01:26:44Don't you start.
01:26:45What?
01:26:45You caused enough trouble last week.
01:26:47I did nothing.
01:26:48Let me be the first to say,
01:26:50the referee from last week with his fast count
01:26:53should be tarred and feathered.
01:26:56That is not.
01:26:57Our U.S. champion.
01:26:58That is not what is being said around the industry.
01:27:01It was a well-paced ten count.
01:27:08Chelsea Green had to use the services of Luca Cricifino this week
01:27:12to file an appeal over the last week's count-out.
01:27:15Don't even know that he has a law degree.
01:27:17Her opponent, from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada,
01:27:22she ends the WWE Women's United States Champion,
01:27:30Chelsea Green!
01:27:34Chelsea Green, who suffered a non-title loss by count-out
01:27:38because she was too busy complaining to this announced desk
01:27:42when she forgot to get back in the ring by a simple count of ten.
01:27:46Ten!
