00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:30From Randy.
00:33John, you are the latest legend that I have to put down.
00:37To Becky.
00:38That's what Lyra is.
00:40She's less offensive than regular garbage, but she's still garbage.
00:44Everybody's ready for some backlash.
00:47Everyone that is, except for McAfee.
00:49Now, I'm going to prove to you that this version of Gunther is soft.
00:56From Dark Days.
00:57Alistair Black.
00:58Unnerving, otherworldly presence.
01:01To dominant performances.
01:03Miss agility from Usheth.
01:05More than one superstar is making a comeback.
01:08But when it comes to Grayson Waller.
01:10Maybe you should have to match tonight.
01:11It'll be great for you. Great opportunity.
01:13He'd rather observe from the way back.
01:17And Seth's maniacal plan.
01:19I cannot believe he fell for it.
01:23Gives Jey Uso his first world championship title defense.
01:26And that goes anything but according to plan.
01:38Well, ladies and gentlemen, from Surprise Returns to surprising new challenges.
01:43The path to backlash isn't as straightforward as you might think.
01:46Welcome to another sensational edition of This Week in WWE.
01:49It's me, your buddy, your pal, Scott Stanford.
01:52And speaking of Surprise Returns.
01:55It's me, Megan Morant.
01:57And while my return to action may be a surprise, Randy Orton's vitriol towards John Cena is anything but.
02:03Especially if you ask Mr. Orton.
02:05The Viper taking to the SmackDown ring last Friday.
02:08Telling us all what he really thinks of his backlash opponent.
02:11Now, Cena is a selfish and titled, Brad Orton says, who gets whatever he wants.
02:17And Scott, not to mention the fact that the undisputed WWE champion put his name on everything he can squeeze it onto.
02:24And he's charging ridiculously high prices to his adoring fans.
02:28And that was far from all Orton had to say about his former friend turned backlash foe.
02:33You know, selling your soul isn't exactly a new concept, is it, John?
02:43You've been doing that for 20 years.
02:46Hustle, loyalty, respect, am I right?
02:53I'll give him, listen, I'll give him the hustle, I'll give him the hustle all day.
03:01But the loyalty, the respect, what happened to the loyalty and the respect, John?
03:12Let me be clear why I'm asking specifically about the loyalty and the respect.
03:18Because last week, you stood in this ring, looked me dead in the eye,
03:22and you said you were going to erase the Orton name from the history books.
03:27You said, as you stood in this ring and looked me square in the eyes,
03:32that you were going to erase everything that my family did in this industry.
03:37And I'm going to tell you right now, you are not, and you will not, over my dead freaking body.
03:44You say that you are the last real champion.
03:49No, no, no, no, no, John, you are the latest legend that I have to put down.
03:55And I'm going to do so a week from tomorrow, Saturday, Backlash, my hometown,
04:04in front of my wife, my family, my kids, my friends,
04:08in front of the future generation of Orton's, in front of the future Orton legacy.
04:13I am going to punt, kick you so hard in that Lego-shaped head.
04:18It's going to fly right off your shoulders and through the gateway arch.
04:26But not before I drop your ass with the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment.
04:41Well, it doesn't get more pointed than that from Randy Orton.
04:57Sending the message to John Cena, the undisputed champion,
05:01that you're just the latest legend that I have to put down.
05:13You said it, Joe.
05:14Orton is fired up and ready to take out John Cena
05:17and take home the undisputed WWE championship
05:20in front of a hometown crowd in St. Louis.
05:23But as determined as Randy is to put down the legend,
05:26Cena is just as determined to be the last real champion in WWE.
05:31Who gets the gold?
05:32We'll find out Saturday at Backlash.
05:35But not before Cena gets the last word.
05:38The undisputed WWE champion returns to SmackDown
05:41just 24 hours before going toe-to-toe with the Viper.
05:45Whatever Cena's response will be,
05:47you definitely do not want to miss it Friday on SmackDown.
05:56Now, Penta's thinking,
06:00let's destroy this McDonough man.
06:03And Balor up on the apron,
06:06causing the distraction once again.
06:08Carlito getting involved.
06:10Grabbing the back of the mask of Penta.
06:12Who makes Carlito pay?
06:15And McDonough sent to the floor.
06:21Penta climbing up top.
06:23And Penta with a cross body.
06:33Penta giving El Mahal what they want.
06:39Zero fear.
06:40Zeno Miedo from the top rope.
06:45Balor looking on as Penta just wiped out McDonough and Carlito and Penta
06:50gonna drag his opponent back into the ring.
06:52That's the type of offense you need to do, though,
06:54whenever you're taking on the Judgment Day.
06:56They're gonna have the numbers like this right now.
06:58Balor from behind.
06:59Bounces Penta face first off the apron.
07:02You gotta be able to take out the entire team.
07:04The official was dealing with McDonough.
07:07Didn't see Balor get involved, and now he caught it.
07:10And Balor knows it.
07:13Eddie Arango.
07:14See ya, bye.
07:25An incredibly fresh fade and a very good call by Eddie Arango.
07:30Kicking the Judgment Day from ringside.
07:32Now it's one-on-one.
07:33And if Penta goes up top, now wait a minute.
07:35Who the- Chad Gable.
07:39Gable, who is going after Penta.
07:42Remember, they had a confrontation last week.
07:46And Penta now takes out Gable.
07:48Maybe Gable should have come out here as Argane Americano.
07:51He might have had more success.
07:52I don't know what you're referring to.
07:53They are not the same.
07:54Pable!
07:55Oh!
07:55Whiplash from J.D. McDonough's Crumb Dome.
07:58And now McDonough with Penta in trouble.
08:02Going to head up to the top rope.
08:04Moves off, nobody home.
08:07Penta!
08:09Mexican destroyer!
08:12Cover!
08:12One, two, three, four.
08:14Penta wins!
08:17Here's your winner, Penta!
08:23What a match.
08:24The consequences and unresolved tensions of WrestleMania are the story of backlap.
08:30And no one understands that more than Penta.
08:33Although the dynamic superstar is determined to get payback and cleanse the intercontinental
08:37championship of Dirty Dom in their rematch, the Judgment Day always has a nefarious trick
08:43up their sleeves to keep the gold in their faction.
08:48Nefarious seems to be the name of the game, Scott.
08:50And not only when it comes to that intercontinental championship, but the other one as well.
08:56And from a short stint as tag team champs to a heated rivalry in the blink of an eye,
09:01Becky Lynch seems to have it out for Lyra Valkyria.
09:04In her words, the man has taken out the trash, disposing of Bayley, and the recycling in getting
09:11the better of the women's intercontinental champion.
09:14But listen, according to Lyra, the only thing Becky is recycling is her moveset.
09:18Valkyria believes she has made her own way, making an A for herself, while Lynch has,
09:24well, been away.
09:25But the man believes that Lyra wouldn't even exist without her and is planning on adding
09:30the intercontinental championship to her long list of accolades.
09:35Continue listing your achievements.
09:37Let me help you.
09:38Don't leave anything out.
09:40What can we say about Becky?
09:41Well, she was the first women's champion on SmackDown.
09:44You were the first woman to main event WrestleMania and win.
09:48You were the first women's intercontinental championship.
09:50Wait, that one was me.
09:53You hate it, don't you?
10:06You hate that this is my first ever.
10:09Well, get used to it, Becky.
10:12Cuz as long as I'm here, I hope you like second place.
10:15You know what I like?
10:21Becky went for a cheap shot and Lyra made her pay.
10:25And now Lyra taking it to Becky Lynch.
10:28Fool me once.
10:30Lyra said, you might have taught me some things, and I've taken that and
10:35gotten so much better.
10:37And a brawl now is broken out between these two women who faced for
10:42the Intercontinental title back last Saturday.
10:45And Lyra now taking the fight to Becky.
10:47Lyra impressive as Becky looked on, thought she was gonna retreat.
10:51But again, the fight continues.
10:52Lyra continuing to stay on Becky.
10:55Lyra will not back down.
10:57And finally, officials out here to try to separate these two.
11:04This is obviously clearly personal between the two of them.
11:09You know, one thing Pat over the past couple of weeks with his situation with
11:13Becky Lynch, Lyra Valkyria, in my opinion, has broken out of her shell, Pat.
11:19Absolutely, she's become our- You see this disrespect?
11:23You see this disrespect?
11:25I did nothing wrong- And Lyra's not done yet.
11:27And Lyra now back into the ring, and the fight continues, Valkyria and Lynch.
11:33They're throwing big time rights in.
11:36Went for the manhandle slam.
11:37Instead, Lyra looking for Nightwing.
11:41And if she hits that Saturday, Becky Lynch's chances that the title are over.
11:45I'm telling you, and I'm gonna say it again, Lyra Valkyria has broken out of her shell the last couple of weeks.
11:54This is a different Valkyria.
11:56She's on a different level and a different plane, finally pushed by Becky.
11:59Yeah, Lyra's special.
12:01And right now, it feels like she has everything she needs to go to the next level.
12:05When your idol becomes your rival, you'll find out who you really are.
12:08You might just be the icon now, Lyra.
12:11Lyra!
12:12Lyra!
12:13Lyra!
12:14Lyra!
12:15With a rivalry born out of pride and betrayal, Lyra Valkyria looks to turn pain into triumph against Becky Lynch.
12:24The man, on the other hand, is full of cold-hearted confidence and is still yet to see Valkyria as an equal in this battle at Backlash.
12:34Coming up, Gunter swears to never take an opponent lightly again, even when it comes to Pat McAfee.
12:42Don't you worry that I overlook you.
12:46Don't you worry that I underestimate you.
12:48I promise you my full and undivided attention.
12:54It's time to camera roll into our superstar snapshots.
13:02Come October, WWE is rolling into Western Australia with a three-day takeover of Perth.
13:08Beginning with Friday Night SmackDown on October 10th,
13:11the weekend continues with WWE Crown Jewel on the 11th
13:15and rounds out with Monday Night Raw on October 13th.
13:18All taking place at the Rack Arena.
13:21For pre-sale opportunities, go to WWE.com.
13:24But this massive announcement gave two Aussies the opportunity to return home.
13:29It wasn't just a good day, it was good week for Grayson Waller and Rhea Ripley
13:36as they sprawled the country, spreading the word of WWE's impending takeover.
13:41From surfing Trigg Beach to a handstand competition at the Pinnacles.
13:46Getting Cray at the Lobster Shack to kicking up dirt at the Lancelin Sand Dunes.
13:51crossed a lot off the list, but let's hand it to Mami for accomplishing a most enduring feat.
13:56What even Austin Theory has a hard time with these days.
13:59Spending a week with Grayson Waller.
14:02Well that's as Australian as he gets.
14:04Trick Williams this week proved himself to be All-American.
14:08Guest starring in the season finale of the CW series All-American.
14:13Playing the athletic director of South Crenshaw High.
14:16We'll see if Trick Willie calls any trick plays.
14:19The likes he's been utilizing on TNA World Champion Joe Hendry
14:23as Season 7 comes to a close this week.
14:26From trick play to horse play.
14:28Maxine Dupree and Natalya trotted into the 151st running
14:32of the Kentucky Derby last weekend.
14:34Fascinators on and fascinated by the debuting chunk of gold.
14:39The Colt race towards a top 10 finish, but perhaps gave Natalya and Maxine
14:44the inspiration needed to chase after a chunk of gold themselves.
14:49The phrase win play show took on a different and more poignant meaning
14:53for Zelina Vega the last seven days.
14:55Claiming her first singles title in WWE.
14:58The new Women's United States Champion took the newly won title home to New York City.
15:03Placing it around her family's waist, putting it on display as part of a media tour
15:09and most moving, showing it off to her late father at the 9-11 memorial.
15:14Talk about an American dream come true.
15:18That moment of overwhelming sentimentality, however,
15:27might be replaced with a feeling of extreme discomfort and concern.
15:31Once the bell rings at the end of Saturday's encounter between Pat McAfee and Gunter.
15:35Embarrassed by his loss at WrestleMania,
15:37the ring general targeted his biggest distractor, at least vocally.
15:42Choking the life out of the former All-Pro, earning Gunter a suspension.
15:46But even an unrelenting grip on Pat's throat hasn't kept McAfee from doubling down,
15:51asking for this match.
15:53And despite their clear differences from stature to experience,
15:57there's one measurement you won't see on any tail of the tape
16:01that could very well be Pat's one advantage.
16:04Hart.
16:06I think about the kids that are out there today
16:09that were just like me in the upper row,
16:11dreaming that I could get my ass in this ring
16:14and let you know that they don't like what you're about.
16:18And what I think you're about at this stage,
16:23as opposed to the Walter in around stage.
16:28You don't want it anymore.
16:34You've gotten too damn comfortable.
16:37It happened with Sami Zayn.
16:39It happened with Jey Uso.
16:41And on Saturday, you're gonna overlook me.
16:44You're gonna underestimate me.
16:46And I'm gonna prove to you and all these people
16:50that this version of Gunter is soft.
16:55All these people still do.
17:05Thank you to the Uso vådle.
17:13Thank you.
17:16I think they all受 swept!
17:17I think you are under 81, I think you are under 81.
17:22Why?
17:31Did you enjoy
17:32your little-daughter's birthday last week?
17:352-years, right?
17:39That's cute.
17:41I bet it was a very special day for you.
17:45Because for me,
17:47Saturday is a very special day.
17:51I just got me into the right mood for it.
17:55Because it's my first match since WrestleMania,
18:01and I'm going to show up sharp, I'm going to show up prepared,
18:04I'm going to show up more focused than ever before.
18:09Don't you worry that I overlook you, don't you worry that I underestimate you.
18:15I promise you my full and undivided attention.
18:20Because on Saturday,
18:25that bell is going to ring, and I'm going to beat you up.
18:31I'm going to maul you.
18:33I'm going to grab you by the head and drive it into this mat.
18:38I'm going to choke you out until you drop like a wet towel.
18:45Tonight, by my grace, you are untouchable.
18:58But on Saturday, trust me when I say this, on Saturday,
19:03only the grace of God can lift my arms off your throat.
19:10While it's obvious to say that this former all-pro punter turned commentator
19:24may have put his foot in his mouth,
19:26the ring general's intentions might not leave an identifiable limb to extract it from.
19:32Nonetheless, courage and carnage collide as Pat McAfee and Gunther meet in St. Louis at Backlash
19:38this Saturday, May 10th on Peacock in the U.S. and Netflix Worldwide.
19:43I never want Aleister Black to kick me.
19:53He's looking for the skull crushing finale.
19:55Can you believe that?
19:56Can you believe that Cartwheel reversal counter?
19:59Well, the Miz can't believe it.
20:01Look into those eyes.
20:06The mysterious Aleister Black!
20:09He delivers again!
20:12I mean, you've got all the time in the world.
20:18Count to 300 here.
20:20Miz has no clue what planet he's on.
20:23And when he puts that foot under that head and lifts up his potential victim.
20:32Carmelo Hayes gets up on the apron.
20:35One face twice.
20:36There's a roll-up attempt!
20:37There's a roll-up for the win!
20:39And the kick out by Black.
20:41There it is!
20:42There it is!
20:43Black Mass!
20:47Here is your winner, Aleister Black!
21:02He's mysterious, he's intense, he's highly dangerous.
21:07Give the devil his due.
21:10And Carmelo Hayes, not this week, pal.
21:14Live to fight another day.
21:18Does he want a piece of that?
21:21Face-to-face, Carmelo Hayes and Aleister Black.
21:30Ah, yes indeed.
21:31Welcome back, Aleister Black.
21:33Miz takes his second Black Mass in as many weeks,
21:36while his cohort, Carmelo Hayes, stares down SmackDown's latest acquisition.
21:40And unfortunately for Nick Aldis,
21:42it's not the newbies that are giving him the most trouble lately.
21:45No, if it weren't for the contention over the United States Championship,
21:48it would be smooth sailing for SmackDown's general manager.
21:51Two weeks ago, the match to determine Jacob Fatu's number one contender ended in chaos,
21:56when Solo Sokoa tried to deliver LA Knight to Drew McIntyre,
21:59only to have all of his efforts thwarted by Damian Priest.
22:02Love when you say thwarted.
22:03With the match ending in a DQ,
22:05not only was Fatu left without an opponent for backlash,
22:08but LA Knight was left with unresolved feelings about the whole thing.
22:12And after expressing his annoyance to Damian last Friday,
22:15Priest was fuming by the accusation that he was trying to do anything but help LA Knight.
22:20So the match between them that was slated for later in the evening
22:23was rescheduled for right then and there, both with something to prove.
22:34Knight sends Priest out to the floor.
22:36These two men, their bodies, their joints must feel like jelly at this point,
22:40trying to maintain any control.
22:42Good luck with that, but Priest moving out of the way.
22:45Oh, the flat liner on the apron.
22:48Bouncing forehead first off the hardest part of the ring.
22:52Can't pin him out there obviously, need to get him back inside,
22:56and put this one to bed if you are, oh.
22:59What in the world, Solo Sokoa.
23:02Solo Sokoa, the bell rings as this match is over,
23:07because Solo Sokoa just came in to beat down Damian Priest.
23:13Well, you've got to be careful who you talk smack to in this game,
23:16especially when you're about to go out and have a match.
23:19Talked a little too much trash to Solo Sokoa and Jacob Fatu
23:24on his entrance to the arena a few minutes ago to Priest.
23:27But now he's all over the megastar as well, Wade.
23:30Well, I'll take a chunk of flesh out of whoever I can get it.
23:34If I'm Solo Sokoa, this is statement time.
23:37He's lining up the Samoan Spike.
23:40Solo Sokoa in the midst of the game,
23:42what was a sensational match between Knight and Priest
23:47as he's going to deliver the spike to L.A. Knight.
23:51Oh, no! Priest, the massive right hand.
23:55Oh, BFT!
23:58And now they're back on their feet, and Solo better watch out.
24:03After they gave so much, they looked down at Sokoa, who interrupted things.
24:16Now Priest has come our way, what is he doing?
24:18Oh, he's tearing apart our announce desk. He's clearing it off.
24:21Solo Sokoa's made a major faux pas here. He's about to get a Drew McIntyre treatment.
24:35Jacob Fatu comes out of nowhere.
24:38That human missile once again saving Solo Sokoa.
24:42But don't speak too soon, not when the perpetual motion machine L.A. Knight is around.
24:48Knight, Samoan drop onto the desk.
24:51Of Fatu, the US champion, one of the most violent and vicious of all.
25:00He is completely off the chain.
25:02God, he's got a look in his eye.
25:04No, running hip attack into the barrier.
25:07He just moved the day about two feet, and Priest's head just came right into the side.
25:15Well, between Solo Sokoa and Jacob Fatu, a major message has just been sent to anybody
25:23who may have eyes on that United States Championship.
25:29Two weeks in a row, matches have been blown up and thrown out because of you getting
25:33yourself involved.
25:34And by the way, Jacob, champ, you're not exactly innocent in all of this either.
25:38Hold on, hold on, hold on now.
25:40Don't pin last week on us, okay?
25:42That was Damian Priest's fault.
25:44He's the one that caused the DQ.
25:46And as far as Jacob, he's telling everybody they better stay out of his way.
25:51That's a warning.
25:53Well, warning received, which is why at Backlash, Jacob's gonna defend that US
26:00championship against Damian Priest and L.A. Knight in a triple threat match.
26:06How does that sound?
26:08How does that sound?
26:09Wait, hold on, how did that happen?
26:11Technically, Drew McIntyre won the match.
26:14He's the number one contender.
26:16If there's anybody that should fight Jacob, it's Drew.
26:20You're right.
26:22No, you're absolutely right, sir.
26:24Forget the triple threat match.
26:26Let's make it a fatal four-way match.
26:28We'll add Drew McIntyre to the mix as well.
26:33You know what?
26:35Let's keep it one, honey.
26:37No matter who you put in front of me, line them all up at Backlash.
26:42Cause at the end of the day, I'm a dog walk that ass.
26:46See me?
26:47I'm all gas, no brakes with you.
26:51Y'all know what I mean?
26:53Y'all know what I mean?
26:58Whether you want to blame Nick Aldis or Solo himself for this fatal four-way,
27:02I think we can all agree it's an exciting solution to a chaotic problem.
27:07Saturday, Drew McIntyre, L.A. Knight, and Damian Priest will all get their opportunity
27:12to put down the Samoan Werewolf and take home the United States Championship.
27:16It all goes down live on Peacock in the U.S. and Netflix Worldwide.
27:23Coming up.
27:24I didn't know it was him.
27:25Who cares?
27:26That changes everything.
27:27No, it doesn't.
27:28I'm looking for you, man.
27:29Hey, hey.
27:30I was actually just talking a piece about the match and I was just telling him.
27:32Maybe you should have the match tonight.
27:33It'll be great for you.
27:34Great opportunity.
27:35Serious?
27:36Yeah, yeah.
27:37I'm down, dude.
27:38Let's go.
27:39Is that what you want?
27:40Fine.
27:41Austin Theory, it's official.
27:42You have yourself a singles match.
27:43Happy?
27:44Yes, yes.
27:45Happy Monday.
27:46It's gonna be great.
27:47You're gonna kill it.
27:48Otis now measuring his man, Rusev.
27:53This agility from Rusev.
28:06Rusev says it's over.
28:08Otis put up a great fight, but I believe it's gonna be over,
28:11cuz Rusev is locking in the accolade.
28:14The accolade.
28:15The accolade.
28:16Trying to destroy Otis who's trying to hang on.
28:20And he's gotta tap out.
28:25Otis has to tap out.
28:26Tazawa stepping to Rusev.
28:33Tazawa stepping to Rusev.
28:35It's perfect.
28:37We're gonna fight right here, right now.
28:41I'm not sure how wise this is.
28:43I respect it though, obviously.
28:45Yeah, I respect it too, but Rusev is looking at Tazawa like.
28:52Right here, right now.
28:54Come on.
28:55Rusev's gonna add it up with Otis.
29:02And Rusev victorious in his return to WWE tonight in a physical hard hitting battle
29:12against Otis of the Alpha Academy.
29:15No.
29:16And wait a minute, Rusev now, from behind, gonna assault Tazawa.
29:20Dropping him on top of Otis.
29:24I thought Rusev was gonna let Tazawa live.
29:31He decided to say, you get it too.
29:34And I don't believe he's done with Otis yet.
29:36The big man driven shoulder first into the post.
29:39Rusev driving him back into the ring and again down to the post on the other side.
29:44And Otis collapses right here in front of us.
29:46And Rusev isn't done yet.
29:49Maxine better get the hell out of the way because Rusev.
29:53He didn't even get the hell out of the way as well.
29:55Rusev's a madman.
29:58That kick may have broken Otis's jaw.
30:13And Otis is defenseless, he's helpless here.
30:16And the accolade is locked in by Rusev.
30:19The accolade by Rusev.
30:22Making a point, sending a message to everybody in the locker room.
30:26There's our gentleman manager, Pearce.
30:28Officials out here trying to separate Rusev from Otis.
30:32Rusev won't release the hole.
30:35We get it.
30:38Natalya out here to console her friend Maxine,
30:44who's beside herself after the assault on her friend Otis.
30:47Rusev said, Pat, I am free to crush people because I want to.
30:55You want your match?
30:56You want your match?
30:57You want your match?
30:58You want your match, Rusev?
31:01Well, Rusev's certainly making a statement in his first match
31:04since his shocking return at the Raw after Mania.
31:07A statement that has now decimated the Alpha Academy,
31:11leaving everyone's favorite faction in a world of hurt.
31:14But Rusev isn't the only massive return to action we saw last Monday on Raw.
31:18The second was so massive, in fact, that Grayson Waller did his buddy Austin Theory a solid
31:24by letting his tag team partner take the match that was originally scheduled for Waller.
31:29And Theory was raring to go.
31:32That is, until his opponent was revealed.
31:35Much to the dismay of Mr. Theory, the Celtic warrior, Sheamus,
31:39made a surprise return of his own.
31:41And the Irishman is always ready for a banger.
31:44How would you do this, man?
31:48Why would you do this, man?
31:50I didn't know.
31:51How would you do this?
31:52The Theory is starting to question Grayson Waller.
31:53Why would you do this?
31:54Why would you put me through this?
31:55Well, he might want to ask another question,
31:56because he's about to get ten beats in the bowler.
32:01One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12, 13, 14.
32:1314 of them fans.
32:17And Grayson Waller couldn't bear to watch.
32:21And Sheamus says, I got my eyes on you, fella.
32:24Brogue, Brogue!
32:37Brogue, Brogue, Brogue, Brogue, Brogue, Brogue, Brogue.
32:39Brazen Waller.
32:40This might have been the smartest thing he ever did.
32:43Barron Twilight at the No-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O,
32:45There, he loses to Sheamus.
32:47Here is your winner, Sheamus.
32:53Jemiusz jest zbyt, with a helluble win.
33:07Back up top, again Phoenix, fighting his way free,
33:12and follows up with the dropkick.
33:16And now quick to the top rope, looking for Adios Amigos.
33:21Connecting with the back of the head of Santos Escobar,
33:24just when Escobar looked to be ducking out of the way.
33:27Top rope Meteora, one impact by Rey Fenix.
33:36Here is your winner, Rey Fenix!
33:51Where the hell were you?
33:53Where are you when I need you the most?
33:55Do you understand what I'm saying, entiendes?
33:59Yep.
33:59You just told us, yeah.
34:01Santos, tranquilo.
34:02What is your problem now?
34:04What is your problem?
34:06Watch your words.
34:08Watch your words, okay?
34:10Santos, you know what?
34:13What?
34:14I know you don't care about the Garza, and my problem, I don't like you.
34:21I know you was talking about legacy, respect, honor.
34:27Mm-hm.
34:28But the only you have is legacy.
34:34You don't have respect, you don't have honor.
34:37I don't think it'll go, no.
34:39Okay.
34:41What are you laughing at?
34:42You don't have?
34:43Huh?
34:44Let's go.
34:45Let's get out of here!
34:53I said, let's go!
35:03Scott, could we be seeing some loyalties starting to shift in Lagarde?
35:06Let's, Meg, just say that Santos Escobar might want to take a look at what happened to Nia Jax when she got a bit too harsh with her protege.
35:16Well, there's definitely a cautionary tale there, because after her surprise return two weeks ago, Jax is still fighting to reclaim the WWE Women's Championship from Tiffany Stratton, months after Tiffy cashed in the Money in the Bank contract.
35:31The irresistible force isn't the only one, though, because Nia's attack on Tiffany came at the expense of Jade Cargill's own opportunity to get her hands on the champ.
35:40And let's not forget Naomi had also entered the fray to offer a receipt for Jade's victory at WrestleMania.
35:47I mean, this whole thing has definitely become a bit of a mess, and it was only complicated further last Friday when Naomi warned all three superstars to proceed with caution, because Naomi is also out to finally claim the WWE Women's title that she sought for so long.
36:06And when things turn physical between these four, well, you know what that means, Meg, you know.
36:11A tag team match made up of loose alliances and conflicting goals?
36:15You took the words right out of my mouth.
36:17And Nick Aldises, who came out to ringside to give everyone what they wanted.
36:21A big old brawl in the main event of SmackDown.
36:24Tiffany and Naomi.
36:29Oh, and squashing both of them in the corner is Nia Jax and pushing them both out of the ring.
36:39Yeah, I'd say the tag team of Nia Jax and Naomi is officially over.
36:43But this match is ongoing as Jax closes in on what looks to be an imminent victory.
36:50And now Nia Jax is putting Jade Cargill in position.
36:56It's squashing time, Joe. No, it's not.
37:00Oh, Jade. Look at Jade. Could she possibly?
37:05She's got Jax up on her shoulders.
37:10Jade Cargill.
37:13One, two, three. Yes.
37:15Here are your winners, the WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratten and Jade Cargill.
37:31One of the greatest physical specimens in the history of our industry used that physique to full effect there.
37:41An epic powerbomb on Nia Jax grabbing the victory for this strange team of Tiffany Stratten and Jade Cargill.
37:51And that perhaps explains the tension between these two former now teammates.
37:57Yeah, you want tension.
37:58How about the champion saying, that's mine.
38:02It's yours for now, Tiffany.
38:05The positioning for the Women's Championship is becoming a bit of a demolition derby.
38:11And Naomi is back in the ring and attacks from behind.
38:16Both women were distracted by that glittering championship.
38:23Never take your eyes off that caution tape.
38:29Looks like proceed with caution was more than just a suggestion.
38:33But while Naomi was left holding the title at the end of the night,
38:36she'll be left looking from afar Friday on SmackDown.
38:40Because it's going to be Nia Jax versus Jade Cargill facing off to become the number one contender for the WWE Women's Championship.
38:48Coming up.
38:53I'm always at fault.
38:55I'm the betrayer.
38:56I'm always the freaking snubbag.
38:59Not this time.
39:01Are you okay?
39:02With familial bonds quickly fading, Paul Heyman makes Jey Uso an offer he really should refuse.
39:09I'm going to let you pick the night that you lose the World Heavyweight Championship.
39:16Hey Scott, you know what you forgot to tell me when I was gone?
39:26What's that?
39:27Well, that Paul Heyman completely lost his mind.
39:29Well listen, to be fair, that wasn't really until last Monday when Heyman interrupted Jey Uso,
39:35then had an unprovoked outburst about CM Punk and Roman Reigns.
39:38And what the heck is with the spray tan?
39:40But after he got that out of his system, Paul Heyman turned his attention to Jey's World Heavyweight title,
39:46telling the champ that Seth was challenging him to a title match.
39:50True to form, Heyman offered Jey Uso a favor.
39:54I'm going to let you pick the night that you lose the World Heavyweight Championship.
40:01But Seth wouldn't have to wait long.
40:04Omaha is on the night.
40:06Four letters, one word.
40:11Vintage Seth freaking Rollins.
40:17That's straight out of the wise man's playbook.
40:22Stomp, didn't get all of it, didn't get all the stomp.
40:25Cover down, hook to the leg, and a kick out by Jey.
40:28Rollins didn't get the full stomp there, and it may have cost him.
40:32Jey Uso was able to move his head ever so slightly.
40:36And Breakers kicked off.
40:41Remember what these guys did to Sami Zayn last week.
40:56The honorary Uso.
41:00And Sami Zayn, they thought he was coming for the entrance line and Sami ambushed him.
41:12Sami and Braun Breaker.
41:13Sami just came out of the ground.
41:15Breaker's driven into the post.
41:18Rollins now trying to go after Sami and Uso met him with a super kick and a snare.
41:25Jey gonna go up top.
41:30He said, let's end this thing.
41:32Jey top rope, splash splash to retain.
41:37And Rollins somehow kicked out.
41:41You gotta be kidding me.
41:42Jey Uso can't believe it.
41:44What does he have to do to put Seth Rollins away?
41:49Super kick, spear, splash was how this was supposed to end in Jey Uso's head, I assume.
41:59Sami Zayn had seen enough of Breaker trying to get involved.
42:02Busted up ribs from last week.
42:04Took Breaker out of the equation.
42:07Uso with a splash and a spear.
42:09But the veteran Rollins is still in it.
42:21Sami Zayn getting all in.
42:22A spear by Breaker.
42:25Well, if he didn't have busted ribs, he has them now, Sami Zayn.
42:29It is chaos around ringside.
42:36And Jey now going down to check on his buddy.
42:42He gives himself a little breather.
42:45And Breaker with a spear.
42:47Heyman of the official distracted.
42:49Breaker spearing Uso on the other side of the ring.
42:53The official Chad Patton never saw it.
42:58Heyman had him distracted, stopped by Rollins.
43:01And because of all these damn shenanigans of this coalition,
43:05Seth Rollins is gonna win the damn World Heavyweight title.
43:14Maybe not, Cole.
43:16Tonight after WrestleMania, this group took out Punk and Reigns.
43:23And CM Punk is back.
43:25Punk is back.
43:27CM Punk is back.
43:29CM Punk just cost Rollins the world title.
43:33And now there's gonna be hell to pay.
43:36CM Punk is on the track Manchester United.
43:38CM Punk.
43:41CM Punk!
43:43CM Punk!
43:44CM Punk!
43:46CM Punk.
