00:00:00We are going back to Italy, what a crowd they were last time, let's beat it this time.
00:00:05On eight days, Tiffany Stratton is going to be in the Elimination Chamber.
00:00:09Recent former champ determined to get back to WrestleMania in a championship match.
00:00:17Here we go, Joe, pledge!
00:00:19Make the pledge!
00:00:22Stand!
00:00:22Oh, what a wheelchair.
00:00:26Really?
00:00:28And here come the Chelsea Chronicles again.
00:00:31I know you all want to cry, but we have to be professional at the desk.
00:00:35This is a tragedy before our eyes.
00:00:40And her opponent, accompanied by one half of a mixed AAA tag team champion, Chelsea Green, from Johnson, Scotland, Alma
00:00:51Fyre!
00:00:52She's distributing her own newspapers with headlines of this injury.
00:00:57Yeah, and people are laughing off their headlines.
00:01:00Those are collector's items.
00:01:02So here's what happened a couple of weeks ago.
00:01:03Stratton Green and Lance threw down for a place in the Elimination Chamber.
00:01:07Absolute bedlam.
00:01:08Several tag partners getting involved in the match.
00:01:11But ultimately, it was the former WWE Women's Champion who struck with a prettiest moonsault ever to put her spot
00:01:22in the Elimination Chamber next week.
00:01:24While Chelsea Green so tragically suffered a broken ankle during the match.
00:01:31Has that been diagnosed?
00:01:32Brilliant, are you?
00:01:33Yeah, I actually have the official diagnosis here from our medical staff.
00:01:37Chelsea suffered a 10th degree bone break.
00:01:40A 10th degree?
00:01:41I didn't even know that.
00:01:41I don't know where they go that line.
00:01:42An attack from a vindictive Tiffany Stratton.
00:01:46This is going about the match, Wade.
00:01:48No, vindictive.
00:01:49So now the secret Hervis Alba Fyre is going to wish you a punishment beating to little Miss Stratton as
00:01:56a reward for breaking our leader's ankle.
00:02:00Fearless leader.
00:02:01Tiffany getting right to action against Alba Fyre.
00:02:06A qualifying match a couple of weeks ago.
00:02:09Flash legend was involved.
00:02:12Chelsea ended up with this injury to the ankle.
00:02:17You know full well, Tiffany Stratton is desperate to get back to challenging for World Championship gold.
00:02:25Perhaps against Jade Cargill, the woman who took the gold from her in the first place.
00:02:29We'll see if she can win at the chamber.
00:02:32We'll see how that all plays out a lot up in the air at the moment in the women's division
00:02:36as we are on the hunt for those WrestleMania spots.
00:02:40Incredible to see the upset that Kiana James pulled off just moments ago against Charlotte Flair.
00:02:46And Nia Jax, as you see Tiffany Stratton coming in.
00:02:49Of course, Tiffany the first to qualify for the women's elimination chamber.
00:02:53Looking to put away Alba Fyre here.
00:02:55So Tiffany, Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, and Kiana James.
00:03:00Yeah, that's the shocker.
00:03:01I'm very interested to see how Kiana does in that particular matchup.
00:03:05But the spots are filling up rapidly.
00:03:07One left.
00:03:07We'll find out on Raw who fills that one.
00:03:10But right now, it is all about Tiffany Stratton.
00:03:13Alba Fyre just cannot get anything going here.
00:03:16Springboarding right into him.
00:03:17Coming down with all that pressure on Alba Fyre.
00:03:20Yeah, on Monday, it'll be EO and Raquel and Kyrie Sane in the final qualifier.
00:03:26We're just eight days away from elimination chamber.
00:03:29Shoulders are down.
00:03:30Clearly, Tiffany Stratton is hitting top four at exactly the time of year you want to be.
00:03:35In combination.
00:03:37Alba Fyre just cannot find a single answer.
00:03:39And this is a veteran Alba Fyre who has dominated levels in NXT in Europe and in Japan.
00:03:46And finally gets a little something going.
00:03:48Maybe the rake of the eyes there to Tiffany Stratton.
00:03:51But regardless, it was effective and finally stemmed that flow of offense that was coming the way of Alba Fyre.
00:03:58And yeah, we're all impressed by that, Chelsea.
00:04:01Chelsea looks on in the wheelchair as Alba Fyre tries to take control here against Tiffany Stratton.
00:04:17It was a hot pace being set early on by Tiffany Stratton, the recent former WWE Women's Champion.
00:04:26And Alba Fyre just was able to quell that.
00:04:30You're absolutely right.
00:04:31It was a hot pace.
00:04:32And a lot of times that will swarm an inexperienced athlete.
00:04:36And it will be a short match, but Alba Fyre kept enough in the tank to ride it out, wait
00:04:41for one mistake, and then pounce.
00:04:43And that is a veteran display right now.
00:04:46And now is the time for the punishment beating.
00:04:50Chelsea Green has to be loving this.
00:04:52Not this bit.
00:04:53Tiffany, we're going to put it away.
00:04:57Beating for the punch on that one.
00:04:58Once again by Alba Fyre.
00:05:04Chelsea enjoying what she's seeing right now.
00:05:07Sorry, was that walking boot bedazzled lead?
00:05:10Did I see ornamental decorations on that?
00:05:12If it's Chelsea Green, it's going to be done with style.
00:05:14This is a fashion leader.
00:05:17I know you know nothing about fashion, Joe.
00:05:19That's fashion.
00:05:20Despite being an Italian, you're the first Italian ever who has no fashion sense.
00:05:25But clearly you can learn a trick or two from the bedazzled Chelsea Green.
00:05:28All the major fashion houses, of course, emanate from Italy.
00:05:32But we'll go with the bedazzled walking boot.
00:05:35You should get a bedazzled suit in tribute to Chelsea Green and her broken...
00:05:40There'll be no tribute.
00:05:41Friday Night SmackDown has been roaring all night long here.
00:05:44Amaranth Bank Arena, 11,400 plus.
00:05:50As we've been talking about the Elimination Chamber being eight days away,
00:05:54had an incredible qualifying match, a triple threat that was won by...
00:05:58Kiana James.
00:06:00This match in front of us here is really the back end of Alba Fire and Chelsea Green
00:06:04trying to get back for what happened in a qualifying match a couple weeks ago.
00:06:08Yeah, what happened, Joe Tess?
00:06:10Here's what happened.
00:06:11Chelsea Green was savagely attacked by...
00:06:14Savagely?
00:06:14Stratton destroying the ankle.
00:06:17It almost had to be amputated, apparently.
00:06:21Who are you getting your medical updates from?
00:06:24Chelsea Green and the Chelsea Chronicle.
00:06:26It's all in there, Joe.
00:06:27You should try reading it sometime, please.
00:06:31Who's the editor-in-chief of that?
00:06:34Somebody's sitting in a bedazzled wheelchair.
00:06:35I don't know who it is, but they deserve a pay right.
00:06:38Ask her, referee!
00:06:40Ask her if she quit!
00:06:43She's a newspaper bag hanging off with the wheelchair there.
00:06:46She's been tossing out that fake news every time she comes down to the ring.
00:06:56And this is suddenly turned into an incredibly dominant display by Alba Fire,
00:07:02and people who've been studying the game of Alba Fire for the past 10 years
00:07:06will not be surprised by that whatsoever.
00:07:12Come on, Ace!
00:07:28Tiffany Stratton and Alba Fire going at it here on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:07:32Still to come, the Men's Elimination Chamber qualifying match
00:07:34with Carmelo Hayes and Damian Priest and Tripp Williams,
00:07:37and then Randy Orton and Aleister Black in the main event
00:07:41as Tiffany Stratton looks to rally back against Alba.
00:07:44Well, Tiffany has taken a hell of a beating over the past 3 or 4 minutes in this one.
00:07:48Finally getting a little something the opposite direction,
00:07:51but immediately back on top is the veteran Alba Fire.
00:07:57Alba Fire is on a major mission tonight to punish Tiffany Stratton,
00:08:03who is the prime reason why Chelsea Green is currently incapacitated
00:08:08in a wheelchair, unable to stand.
00:08:10How can you pinpoint her as the moment that an injury happened in that qualifying match
00:08:16and point the finger at her and say she's the prime reason
00:08:18because I can't even recall the injury taking place in that match.
00:08:22We called it.
00:08:22It happened really fast.
00:08:24If you blink, you missed it, but I saw it,
00:08:26and it was dastardly from Tiffany Stratton.
00:08:29Chelsea Green looks on and now sees Alba Fire in a world of hurt
00:08:34against all the talent of Tiffany Stratton to put her away right here.
00:08:40By again, absolutely ragdolled in there,
00:08:42almost a brainbuster-like move from the second rope.
00:08:46Really, really ugly landing for the Scotswoman,
00:08:49followed up by this.
00:08:52This move that was slammed down hard on the knee of Tiffany Stratton,
00:08:56just about kicking out, clinging on,
00:08:59and now the cogs are wearing in the mind of Tiffany Stratton.
00:09:02How do I put this one to bed?
00:09:05Chelsea with the surrender for the pose,
00:09:07and she sits there in the wheelchair.
00:09:10Well, you'd surrender, too, if you had your leg broken.
00:09:13Broke, do you really believe?
00:09:16You can see the cast, Joe.
00:09:19Looking for the cart where Alabama's laying the stead,
00:09:21turned around by Alba Fire.
00:09:23Gory special connects.
00:09:25And with that, Alba Fire looks to close this out.
00:09:30Alba's had a lot taken out,
00:09:31but took a couple of beats to get that pin,
00:09:33and just enough in the tank of Tiffany Stratton to kick Alba.
00:09:38But Chelsea senses it like the rest of us,
00:09:40inching closer to victory.
00:09:42It was Alba Fire of the secret herbes.
00:09:47Look at the power of Stratton.
00:09:50Alabama slam, and Stratton now heading up
00:09:54to where she likes it best.
00:09:56But instead of the prettiest moonsault ever,
00:09:59it is Fire pushing her out to the floor.
00:10:02Alba Fire just a little too fast now,
00:10:05and I'm scared for the safety of Chelsea Green in that wheelchair.
00:10:08But he's fine.
00:10:09The woman who destroyed her leg
00:10:11is in rather close proximity,
00:10:12and that's why you hire the secret herbes.
00:10:14Oh, no.
00:10:15Oh, met with a big right hand.
00:10:18Well, she's out of the wheelchair, Wade.
00:10:20It's a miracle.
00:10:21It's a miracle.
00:10:22Maybe it's not a broken leg is what it is.
00:10:24Oh, and look at Tiffany Stratton trying to attack an invalid.
00:10:27How dare you, Tiffany?
00:10:29Unbelievable.
00:10:30Alba Fire comes flying through.
00:10:32Yeah, the not-so-secret herbes doing its job once again.
00:10:36Nice job, Alba.
00:10:37Now to put Stratton to the sword once and for all.
00:10:44Fire.
00:10:45Salute.
00:10:45Feeling in control.
00:10:51Up top on the top rope is Alba.
00:10:54Knees got up.
00:10:55Tiffany Stratton got her knees up.
00:10:58That swan time from the top just took a beat too long.
00:11:01Nice connection there with the knees to the lower back of Stratton.
00:11:06Well scouted by Alba Fire.
00:11:09Tiffany just throws her away at that moment.
00:11:13And now Stratton, as she looks to take control,
00:11:17going back up top.
00:11:19Prettiest puzzle ever.
00:11:21One, two, three.
00:11:27Here is your winner, Tiffany.
00:11:30Tiffany Stratton.
00:11:32Get a good look at Chelsea Green
00:11:35because that's exactly what you see in most Florida airports
00:11:37when you're boarding your plane.
00:11:39A lineup of wheelchairs that you question, Wade.
00:11:43Nonsense, but I don't question this.
00:11:45The prettiest moonsault ever,
00:11:47which is the most accurately named move
00:11:50in the history of professional wrestling,
00:11:54much to the despair of Chelsea Green.
00:11:57Get well soon, Chelsea.
00:11:58As Tiffany Stratton rolls on
00:12:00towards the Elimination Chamber next week.
00:12:04Look out the real way!
00:12:13Hey, listen, Sam, how you doing?
00:12:17Not good, man.
00:12:19Hey, listen, I know some bad luck at the Royal Rumble last week,
00:12:24hell of a match, but that could have gone anyway.
00:12:26By the way, you have nothing to be ashamed of.
00:12:31Yeah, I know I have nothing to be ashamed of.
00:12:34If anybody should be ashamed of themselves here,
00:12:37it's you.
00:12:40I should be ashamed of myself?
00:12:41Yeah, Cody, yeah.
00:12:42Drew McIntyre gets involved in our match.
00:12:44I see you getting beat down.
00:12:46I help you.
00:12:47I try to help you.
00:12:48I do right by you.
00:12:50I try to do the right thing,
00:12:51and how do you repay me?
00:12:52You stick me with a crossroads,
00:12:54and you punch your ticket to Elimination Chamber.
00:12:56You put a knife in my back, Cody.
00:12:58Sammy, that's your perspective what happened.
00:13:00That was chaos.
00:13:02The match wasn't over.
00:13:02The bell hadn't rung.
00:13:03The whistle hadn't blown.
00:13:05Yeah, you fell back into a crossroads.
00:13:06It's an opportunity I took advantage of.
00:13:09Sure, sure.
00:13:09And those opportunities,
00:13:10they don't just plop in your lap, Sammy.
00:13:12Those are the opportunities that when they've come to you,
00:13:15you haven't taken advantage of them,
00:13:16and that's why you haven't become WWE Champion.
00:13:23There it is.
00:13:25That's real easy for you to say
00:13:27when you're the golden boy.
00:13:30Right?
00:13:31QB1, everything always comes up.
00:13:33Aces for Cody Rhodes.
00:13:35You got to finish your story, Cody.
00:13:38You were chosen.
00:13:38Nobody chose me.
00:13:40I've been trying to finish my story
00:13:41for 10 damn years.
00:13:43You understand?
00:13:45No, you don't.
00:13:46Of course you don't understand
00:13:47because you don't know what it's like
00:13:48to constantly go out there
00:13:50and try to do the right thing
00:13:51every single time
00:13:52and have it blow up in your face.
00:13:53I don't know what it's like
00:13:54to do the right thing
00:13:54and have it blow up in your face.
00:13:56Where were you in Germany
00:13:57when I did exactly that?
00:13:59Three stages of hell.
00:14:00Jacob Batu showed up.
00:14:01I tried to do the right thing
00:14:03and it cost me
00:14:04and it cost me everything.
00:14:06So don't lecture me
00:14:07about struggle, Sammy.
00:14:09I could walk you in the locker room right now
00:14:11and every one of those guys
00:14:12I bet you could beat.
00:14:13It's not me.
00:14:15It's not the system.
00:14:16The only thing in your way
00:14:19is you.
00:14:34I mean, we're friends like Cody Rhodes
00:14:37who needs enemies.
00:14:38I'll tell you what, big dog.
00:14:40Let me give you some advice.
00:14:41I'm going to do something tonight
00:14:43that you couldn't do.
00:14:46Let's get the job done.
00:14:51Let's talk about it.
00:14:58Cody!
00:15:00Cody!
00:15:01Hey!
00:15:02Cody!
00:15:03Cody!
00:15:09Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:15:11It's fine.
00:15:12No, I'm sorry.
00:15:14I'm not doing great, okay?
00:15:16But you're right.
00:15:16You're right about everything you said.
00:15:18Look,
00:15:20you're going to become
00:15:20WWE Champion again.
00:15:22It's a matter of when,
00:15:23not if.
00:15:23Everybody knows it, okay?
00:15:26This time around,
00:15:27just remember
00:15:28that you had a little help
00:15:29along the way.
00:15:31Okay?
00:15:33I don't forget.
00:15:43I don't forget.
00:15:59The following contest is
00:16:02the main combination
00:16:03chamber qualifier,
00:16:05Triple Threat Max.
00:16:07Introducing first
00:16:08from Boston, Massachusetts.
00:16:10Weighing in at 210 pounds,
00:16:12he is
00:16:13the United States
00:16:14Champion
00:16:15Carmelo Hayes.
00:16:18The loaded
00:16:20elimination chamber
00:16:21needs another man.
00:16:23Melo against his
00:16:24former close friend
00:16:24Rick Williams
00:16:25and Damian Priest
00:16:26next.
00:17:06The
00:17:11Southern
00:17:13with the
00:17:24A tribute to AJ Styles.
00:17:27That's Monday.
00:17:28One of the greatest superstars of all time returns home to Atlanta, Georgia.
00:17:33It'll be this Monday at 8 Eastern, 5 Pacific, only on Netflix.
00:17:38That's going to be so special when he addresses the WWE Universe one final time.
00:17:46Well, there's Mello, and lately in all these U.S. title defenses,
00:17:49he's been accurate in saying, Mello, don't miss.
00:17:51Now he's called his shot in a different way, setting a course for Elimination Chamber.
00:17:57Look who he's up against here.
00:17:58I mean, this is some triple threat.
00:18:34And it's a boat from New York City.
00:18:37He's playing in at 249 pounds, Damian Priest.
00:18:45You know, Wade, you've brought this up a few times for other superstars.
00:18:49When you know what it's like to hold gold at WrestleMania,
00:18:52you're even more desperate to have that feeling again.
00:18:57Yeah, so if you've never been to the top of the mountain,
00:19:00and 95% of the locker room are in that category,
00:19:04then you really want to get there.
00:19:07When you've been to the top of the mountain,
00:19:09like Damian Priest has as a former World Heavyweight Champion,
00:19:13you expect to be there.
00:19:15Suddenly, your position in the card, at least in your mind, has changed forever.
00:19:20So I promise you, since losing that World Heavyweight Championship last year,
00:19:24Damian Priest has been on a tear, on a mission to get back to the very top.
00:19:30And right now, just like everyone else in this match,
00:19:33he is two wins away from bucking himself a World Championship match at WrestleMania.
00:20:07And right now, just like everyone else in this match,
00:20:36and their opponent, from the top of the mountain,
00:20:39Columbia, South Carolina, playing in at 249 pounds,
00:20:45Trey Williams!
00:20:50A few superstars have been more outspoken in and out of the ring than Trey Williams.
00:20:55And since his arrival, Wade, the SmackDown,
00:20:58so it just feels like things have changed around the locker room.
00:21:02And now he has to deliver on everything he's been saying.
00:21:06We heard him moments ago, backstage, just simply say,
00:21:09I'm going to get the job done.
00:21:12He's tall, he's dark, he's handsome, and he's got a little pizzazz,
00:21:16and it would seem like he's got the hottest chance in WWE history.
00:21:23And now, probably,
00:21:28years ago, at least in NXT, they ran together as a trick,
00:21:31and Mellow gang, ultimately a big falling out.
00:21:34It was every man for himself after Trick tried to negotiate some sort of partnership with Mellow here.
00:21:40Mellow was having none of it.
00:21:41Yeah, Damian Priest wasn't wasting time getting to work in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match,
00:21:46but you detailed that they were best friends in NXT,
00:21:49and then the relationship fractured due to jealousy,
00:21:52as Priest looks to take control early on.
00:21:55Smart from Priest knows exactly what's at stake here.
00:21:58No time for chat.
00:22:00Well, clearly, Trick Williams sees the chat in a slightly different light.
00:22:05Two big men with such athleticism and power.
00:22:08These two know each other pretty well already.
00:22:10We saw him do battle a few weeks ago on SmackDown,
00:22:13and, indeed, at Saturday night's main event in that four-way.
00:22:17A rather heavy-handed affair between those two in the past,
00:22:21and seems to have started exactly the same way here.
00:22:24You mentioned what happened back in January between these two.
00:22:27There was interference from Sami Zayn, so...
00:22:31It was a no-contest when Trick Williams and Damian Priest
00:22:35ended up together in the ring back then.
00:22:37I'll tell you right now, the onus really is on Mellow and Trick
00:22:40to beat the veteran Damian Priest here,
00:22:44former World Heavyweight Champion.
00:22:45He's been in the Elimination Chamber before.
00:22:47It's a big prove-it moment for a couple of guys in Trick and Mellow,
00:22:51who both want to be the guy right here on SmackDown.
00:22:56Well, you can't be the guy unless you can put a guy like Priest away.
00:23:00Oh, Priest has an edge to him tonight.
00:23:02Looking to advance to Chicago.
00:23:05And this is just that extra layer of confidence
00:23:08that being a former World Heavyweight Champ gives you
00:23:10against a couple of relative newcomers,
00:23:12and I appreciate that Mellow is a United States Champ.
00:23:16Oh, wow, he went from joke slam to onto his heels.
00:23:19It's crazy athleticism for a 6'5", 250-pound Trick Williams.
00:23:24It didn't quite work.
00:23:25Speaking of athleticism, Carmelo Hayes rolls off the back,
00:23:30springboards, and takes out Trick Williams.
00:23:33Yeah, no surprise with that athleticism from Mellow,
00:23:36and that missed the cat connects.
00:23:37Oh, that turtle-to-whirls spinning face buster of Carmelo Hayes,
00:23:42but Damian Priest, could he do it right here?
00:23:46And left shoulder up from Mellow.
00:23:58Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett with you here on Friday Night SmackDown,
00:24:02the road to WrestleMania.
00:24:04Now the road is closing in on Chicago.
00:24:08Eight days from now, it'll be Elimination Chamber.
00:24:11Four men have punched their ticket to that golden opportunity there in Chicago.
00:24:16We're here to see if Carmelo Hayes, Damian Priest, or Trick Williams will be next.
00:24:22Trick has been on one hell of a streak here since his debut and on SmackDown.
00:24:25Another big victory last week against Rey Fenix,
00:24:28but this would perhaps be the biggest of his career so far
00:24:31to get himself into that Elimination Chamber match,
00:24:34and an opportunity of booking his ticket for WrestleMania
00:24:38in a World Championship match.
00:24:41But Mellow has other ideas.
00:24:45The Carmelo Hayes who is laser-focused not only on keeping his United States Championship,
00:24:51but also adding to it by winning the Chamber,
00:24:55and then going on and winning World Championship gold at WrestleMania,
00:24:59becoming a champ-champ.
00:25:01Looking for the quick one right here.
00:25:05And right back to it is Trick.
00:25:09These two know each other so well.
00:25:11At one point, Carmelo Hayes was kind of the in-ring mentor to Trick Williams.
00:25:15Trick Williams at the time, a few years ago, brand new to the industry.
00:25:19Double knockdown with trading right hands.
00:25:23See Mellow checking his teeth.
00:25:26Mirror images of each other on the offensive assault.
00:25:29And when you've dropped each other, the last thing you want is the massive Damian Priest prowling around the ring,
00:25:35picking out who he's going to take down.
00:25:38Priest.
00:25:40Oh, as he just drops his head on that hard edge of the apron.
00:25:44We saw Mellow trying to negotiate his way off the shoulder of Priest,
00:25:47and Priest just had too much power and said,
00:25:49no, no, not today.
00:25:54Big right hand from Damian Priest, one of the best strikers in the game.
00:25:58Yeah, no doubt about that.
00:26:00Has massive limb length.
00:26:01You see the huge frame where those limbs are crazy long,
00:26:04and he knows exactly how to maximize his range,
00:26:08keep himself away from opponents while punching him in the mouth.
00:26:11Trick Williams turning things around quickly.
00:26:15It's that nimble side of Trick Williams we've seen time and time again.
00:26:18Unfeasible movement for a heavyweight,
00:26:20but movement is the Carmelo Hayes story.
00:26:23Might be the best move that I have ever seen in this industry.
00:26:26He's right up there with the best in history.
00:26:35One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:26:40One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:26:50One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:26:51Jumping DDT.
00:26:54And now Williams looking to rid the ring of Carmelo Hayes.
00:27:06What a great scene here in Sunrise, Florida for Friday Night SmackDown.
00:27:12So much on the line.
00:27:13The men's elimination chamber qualifying match.
00:27:16Trick Williams and Damian Priest in the ring right now.
00:27:19And the triple threat is Carmelo Hayes.
00:27:21The United States champion now enters the fray.
00:27:25Springboard and delivers.
00:27:27Just pinpoint perfection once again from Carmelo Hayes.
00:27:31And sadly for Melo, both opponents rolling out of the ring.
00:27:36Can't win it on the outside.
00:27:37Oh!
00:27:38Melo not slowing down.
00:27:41Picking up the pace just when it counts.
00:27:42Man, that running shotgun dropkick as Trick Williams was draped across the timekeeper barrier.
00:27:50And now Melo wants every bit of it.
00:27:54Right on top of Priest with the splash.
00:27:57Damian Priest looking groggy as hell.
00:28:00And pouncing at the right moment was Carmelo Hayes.
00:28:02Almost getting the job done with that frog splash.
00:28:05Take another look at this.
00:28:06You can see Damian Priest was trying his best to get out of danger.
00:28:10He just didn't have enough left in the tank.
00:28:13They're getting out of trouble at least for now.
00:28:16You can see how effective Damian Priest is as Carmelo Hayes is tracking him on the outside.
00:28:23It's also frustrating for a superstar when they are out of the upper hand.
00:28:27Oh, man!
00:28:29Interception Trick Williams.
00:28:31Unique swinging leg there.
00:28:33Just about catching Carmelo Hayes as Carmelo was hitting top gear.
00:28:40And you can hear the crowd chanting whoop that trick.
00:28:47As Trick Williams, Leurinagi, and into the hook of the leg.
00:28:52Once again, you can see Carmelo trying his best to evade that move.
00:28:56But Trick was having none of it.
00:28:58It's like a second bite of that bookend.
00:29:00It connected.
00:29:02Carmelo Hayes in big trouble here.
00:29:04The self-boasting, most entertaining, most athletic, most dangerous man in the business
00:29:10is trying to showcase everything he's about.
00:29:13Not your business while grown folk talking!
00:29:20He would draw non-stop to the ring as you heard moments ago.
00:29:24And now Melo.
00:29:27Oh, he followed him right.
00:29:29He knew what was coming.
00:29:31There's a little surprise attack there from Trick Williams.
00:29:34And uh-oh!
00:29:34Watch out!
00:29:41Oh!
00:29:42Right into the front of the desk!
00:29:44The desk is absolutely trashed.
00:29:46Imagine what the ribs of Damian Priest feel like.
00:29:48But now Trick spots victory coming.
00:29:54Trick Williams got him lined up, but instead...
00:30:00Armelo out the back door.
00:30:04Oh, man!
00:30:05Oh, man!
00:30:07Trick Williams!
00:30:10Well, that connected flush with full momentum.
00:30:14And Trick Williams cannot quite believe that that did not get the victory.
00:30:20He brings that Trick kick.
00:30:24Very few survive it, but somehow the U.S. champion did.
00:30:33With Damian Priest down and maybe out, it behooves Trick Williams and indeed Carmelo Hayes to try and finish the
00:30:41job now.
00:30:41And that is exactly what Trick Williams intends to do.
00:30:47Oh, Damian back on his feet.
00:30:50Yeah, that's...
00:30:50Back into the mix.
00:30:51World Heavyweight Champion level endurance right there.
00:30:55Shrugging off the pain of that desk landing.
00:30:58And now...
00:30:59Razor's Edge!
00:31:01To advance to Elimination Chamber!
00:31:05And that right shoulder somehow is able to get up.
00:31:09But don't take your eyes off Melo!
00:31:12Because he's...
00:31:12Nothing but net!
00:31:15Williams in the triple threat makes the save to keep things alive.
00:31:21So every man has brought his best.
00:31:25And every man is laid out in the ring.
00:31:30What a scene here on SmackDown.
00:31:32Yeah, all three of these in incredibly bad shape.
00:31:36This deep into the matchup.
00:31:38But that's all you need for motivation.
00:31:40Crack an eye open.
00:31:41See that Wrestlemania sign.
00:31:43And realize you are two victories away.
00:31:47Tonight is one.
00:31:48The next one being Elimination Chamber.
00:31:50And you are going to the dance.
00:31:53It is in eight days in Chicago.
00:31:56Randy Orton's in.
00:31:57L.A. Knight.
00:31:58Cody Rhodes.
00:31:59Javon Evans is in.
00:32:02And now who will get the next ticket?
00:32:05I don't know how wise of Carmelo Hayes it was to be traded with the bigger, stronger Trick Williams.
00:32:11But somehow Carmelo Hayes is hanging in there with him.
00:32:16Oh, Priest.
00:32:18Two massive kicks.
00:32:21The knee.
00:32:21The spinning effort.
00:32:23And now the striking attack of Damian Priest.
00:32:27One of the best strikers in the game.
00:32:31Double attack in response.
00:32:33And Priest looking in a real bad way now.
00:32:36Helping hand and delivers.
00:32:39Crossbody lateral press.
00:32:41Trick says, hold on a second.
00:32:42That's mine.
00:32:43Looking to steal it.
00:32:44Meville rips his hand away from hooking the leg.
00:32:54You don't get freebies when it comes to the elimination chamber.
00:32:58And an opportunity at WrestleMania.
00:33:01What a counter by Carmelo Hayes that delivers the kick.
00:33:04And now he's looking to advance right here, right now.
00:33:07Carmelo Hayes just looking a step ahead this deep in the match.
00:33:10But watch out.
00:33:11Look at this.
00:33:13Shoulders down by way of Williams.
00:33:15Back and forth they go.
00:33:17First 48.
00:33:20Carmelo Hayes is in prime position to do it.
00:33:24Well, Hayes looking to go up top.
00:33:26That is a long way across the ring.
00:33:28But if anyone can make it, Carmelo Hayes certainly can.
00:33:32Never doubt him.
00:33:33He comes.
00:33:35Reese with a massive right hand.
00:33:40And now a razor's edge.
00:33:42Oh!
00:33:44The trick shot delivered.
00:33:48And could that be it?
00:33:54Here is your winner, Trick Williams!
00:33:59Just when Damian Priest thought he had it all lined up.
00:34:03That big, powerful, running, jumping, pump knee from Trick Williams.
00:34:10Let's talk about it.
00:34:12Oh, yeah.
00:34:12Trick Willie just bumped his ticket for the elimination chamber.
00:34:17And this was Melo going in for the big one.
00:34:20But out the corner of his eye, what does he see?
00:34:22A big swing from Damian Priest.
00:34:25And Priest going for that razor's edge.
00:34:27Caught with one trick shot.
00:34:28Caught with two trick shots.
00:34:30And Trick Willie did exactly what he said.
00:34:34And he got the jump done.
00:34:37So we now have five of the six in the chamber.
00:34:41Five of the six ways to define greatness and opportunity.
00:34:45Only one spot left.
00:34:48And it will be determined Monday with Jey Uso, Bronson, Reed,
00:34:52or the OG El Grande Americano.
00:34:55But put Trick Williams in the mix.
00:35:01Hey, come on, come on, come on.
00:35:02Shut it up.
00:35:03Shut it up.
00:35:04Hey, would you guys shut up?
00:35:05We're just trying to be a winner.
00:35:07We did that.
00:35:07We did that.
00:35:08We did that.
00:35:08We did that.
00:35:09We did that.
00:35:09We did that.
00:35:10We did that.
00:35:10It's no good idea.
00:35:11Just start beating.
00:35:12Come on.
00:35:13Skeet it up.
00:35:14Skeet it up.
00:35:14Skeet it up.
00:35:15I was better on it.
00:35:16I'll tell you what I told everyone else.
00:35:17I don't know what's in the...
00:35:19Wow.
00:35:21Okay.
00:35:21Yeah.
00:35:23Fix this.
00:35:24What, the crate one?
00:35:25No, look, that's not my problem.
00:35:26I'm a GM.
00:35:27You need a psychiatrist.
00:35:28This is your fault.
00:35:29What do you mean?
00:35:30It's on your job.
00:35:31We'd have Axiom's mask still if you'd let me be at ringside.
00:35:35So, yes, this is your...
00:35:36Axiom's mask?
00:35:37One thing.
00:35:38Just hold that thought.
00:35:39Jordan, do you need something?
00:35:40Do you have a minute?
00:35:41Yeah, absolutely.
00:35:43You're new here?
00:35:45Important business happening.
00:35:46Okay?
00:35:46Wait your turn.
00:35:47Not important.
00:35:48It...
00:35:48What?
00:35:49You're going to have a problem bigger than your shell of a husband
00:35:52if you talk to me like that again.
00:35:53You do not talk about my husband like that.
00:35:55You're a weird husband.
00:35:56Why are you even here?
00:35:57Okay, okay, okay.
00:35:58Ladies, it seems like the two of you have some frustrations
00:36:01that you want to get out.
00:36:02So, why don't we take them out on each other next week in a match?
00:36:07Does that sound great to you?
00:36:10Get down from there.
00:36:11We're going home.
00:36:15He's not feeling too great.
00:36:20Sad Jonny's not moving.
00:36:22Hey, remember, Wade's still to come.
00:36:24What a main event.
00:36:25Oh, man.
00:36:26Alistair Black tried to get into the head of Randy Orton a little earlier.
00:36:31We'll see if he was successful when they throw down later on tonight
00:36:35in SmackDown's main event.
00:36:53The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:36:57Introducing first, from Tokyo, Japan,
00:37:00and she is the women's United States champion, Julia!
00:37:07She was so heated a week ago,
00:37:08and it centered on an exchange with Io and Rhea,
00:37:11and now the U.S. champion gives Rhea face-to-face,
00:37:13not title match, but with a lot behind it next.
00:37:19Monday, a phenomenal celebration takes place.
00:37:23We will pay tribute to AJ Styles,
00:37:26one of the all-time greats in the wrestling ring.
00:37:29As the last spots in Elimination Chamber are claimed.
00:37:33Who gets to Chicago for Elimination Chamber?
00:37:37Oh, my God!
00:37:39He's back!
00:37:40The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar!
00:37:44Raw, Monday, 8 Eastern, 5 Pacific, only on...
00:37:48Well, the week of WrestleMania in Vegas is just awesome.
00:37:52Vegas will also host SmackDown and Raw during WrestleMania weekend.
00:37:56That's Friday, April 17th, Monday the 20th,
00:37:59and it's going to be at the T-Mobile Arena,
00:38:00and tickets are on sale now at AXS.com.
00:38:06Let them know we're on the wall.
00:38:08Now, if we're on the wall, we're on the wall.
00:38:08Three, two, one.
00:38:10Yes.
00:38:12Get up.
00:38:12We're done.
00:38:13Stop.
00:38:16Oh.
00:38:18You back?
00:38:20You want some of this?
00:38:22I'm actually in line behind two others.
00:38:24Two others.
00:38:25Who's the...
00:38:27Did you forget?
00:38:28You done injured me, making me sit at home for months,
00:38:31and you thought I was just going to disappear?
00:38:35You ain't stupid.
00:38:37Oh, yeah?
00:38:37No, but fuck!
00:38:39I actually think it's better if she doesn't see it coming.
00:38:41You right.
00:38:42I wasn't going to hit her.
00:38:42I just want to see her scared.
00:38:44It's better if we bruise that ego, hurt that pride, take that title,
00:38:49and then she don't got to worry about WrestleMania.
00:38:53What is she?
00:38:58Meach in with that Kendo.
00:39:00Julia was enraged a week ago when she came up short in her elimination chamber qualifier.
00:39:05Alexa Bliss won that.
00:39:06This is what ends with her, but don't hold out.
00:39:20This is what he sees!
00:39:23This is what he says!
00:39:24This is what he's on!
00:39:26Let's go!
00:39:35And her opponent, from Adelaide, South Australia,
00:39:40she is one half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champion,
00:39:47Rhea Ripley!
00:39:51Who never backs down from a challenge.
00:39:53Hey, a week ago, of course, Tag Team Champions,
00:39:56and Kiyo and Rhea were in a brutal championship match
00:40:00and dissolved in the chaos wave.
00:40:02Yeah, against Nia Jax and Lash Legend,
00:40:04both teams came close to victory on several occasions,
00:40:08but eventually, the competitors completely lost focus on the victory part,
00:40:13and a devastating brawl ensued.
00:40:16Absolutely nowhere was safe as tables were broken,
00:40:21then security barriers were broken,
00:40:23and the ref threw this whole thing out.
00:40:24And of course, ultimately, the bodies of four competitors were completely broken, too.
00:40:30Now, the rematch of that incident will be taking place next week on SmackDown,
00:40:35but for this week, Rhea Ripley has some singles to deal with.
00:40:39That's going to be so much fun.
00:40:40There it is, next week, in Louisville, Kentucky,
00:40:43the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match.
00:40:48Rhea Ripley, EO Sky against the Irresistible Forces next week.
00:40:54And we're all back on the USA next week.
00:40:57Yes!
00:40:59Olympic schedule comes to an end,
00:41:01so USA Network next week for Friday Night SmackDown,
00:41:05the night before Elimination Chamber.
00:41:10Elimination Chamber that on the women's side,
00:41:14speaking of Nia Jax,
00:41:16now includes Kiana James,
00:41:18who pulled off the upset,
00:41:20winning the triple threat earlier tonight,
00:41:23here in Florida,
00:41:24over Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax.
00:41:27So, we had some major crosswords last week
00:41:30in the aftermath of that,
00:41:31that tag melee that we saw a few moments ago.
00:41:35Julia and Kiana James talked a little smack
00:41:37to our tag champs,
00:41:39EO and Rhea Ripley,
00:41:41clearly very unhappy with each other.
00:41:43Now, you also mentioned not so long ago, Joe,
00:41:46that Julia lost her opportunities
00:41:48to qualify for the Elimination Chamber.
00:41:50Of course, Julia and Kiana James
00:41:52lost their tag opportunity
00:41:54against the tag champs a couple of weeks ago.
00:41:57So, Julia highly irate at the moment,
00:42:00and this, right from the off,
00:42:02has been a very, very aggressive version of Julia,
00:42:05who is not backing down
00:42:06to the intimidating Rhea Ripley.
00:42:09No, she's not at all.
00:42:11And that's Rhea with that strength and power,
00:42:14but Julia's got her locked up here.
00:42:16As we transition into that grovett-type move there,
00:42:19trying to choke out Rhea Ripley,
00:42:21but Ripley simply too strong.
00:42:23Too much left in the tank,
00:42:25very difficult to disable Rhea Ripley
00:42:28this early in a matchup.
00:42:29And you mentioned what happened on February 6th,
00:42:31when Rhea and EO scored the pinfall on Julia
00:42:34in that tag team championship match.
00:42:36And then a week ago,
00:42:37when Rhea was commenting,
00:42:38oh, you must be mad about
00:42:39how Elimination Chamber qualifying went.
00:42:42But once again,
00:42:43attempt to think of the Tornado DDT there,
00:42:45but Ripley just holding on,
00:42:47refusing to go down,
00:42:48and now forcing this into a vertical suplex.
00:42:51We'll see if this one works out.
00:42:53And yeah!
00:42:53Oh, it does!
00:42:54As the delayed vertical suplex is delivered by Rhea.
00:42:58And just the one count,
00:43:00but you can see writhing in pain with her back is Julia.
00:43:03Yeah, I feel like suddenly Mami's woken up,
00:43:05and it's not going to finish this!
00:43:07Looking for Riptide right away!
00:43:08Julia able to escape it,
00:43:10and then slam Ripley down.
00:43:12The yank of the hair referee wasn't too impressed,
00:43:14but it's done the job.
00:43:16Warning sent the way of Julia,
00:43:18but Julia now with a firm upper hand.
00:43:22Coming in hard to that corner.
00:43:25Julia really getting better
00:43:26as the weeks pass here on SmackDown,
00:43:28getting more and more comfortable in that ring.
00:43:31Drop kicks are all the way to the other corner.
00:43:34I mean, what a test this is against Rhea Ripley.
00:43:36So Rhea Ripley was already qualified
00:43:38for the Elimination Chamber.
00:43:40Io Sky got her qualifier this Monday on Raw.
00:43:45Presumably taking it easy tonight,
00:43:47resting up ahead of that
00:43:48while Mami does the damage.
00:43:50And Io Sky against Raquel Rodriguez
00:43:52and Kairi Sane to determine
00:43:54the final spot in the Women's Elimination Chamber.
00:43:57That comes your way on Raw.
00:44:00And this is just Mami finding those extra gears now.
00:44:04Oh!
00:44:05And that was one gear through Mami's shoulder
00:44:07first into the post.
00:44:08Nice movement there from Julia.
00:44:11And Rhea Ripley's in big trouble there.
00:44:13Boy, you could hear that impact
00:44:15echoing throughout.
00:44:16Amaranth, Bank Arena,
00:44:18and then the steal steps.
00:44:19So Julia is in control against Rhea.
00:44:33Boy, Julia turns things around against Rhea quickly.
00:44:36Yeah, that's what you have to do
00:44:38against a bigger, stronger opponent.
00:44:40If you're smart enough,
00:44:41use their strength,
00:44:43use their momentum against them,
00:44:45bake them in as Julia just did.
00:44:47And over-exerting herself in that attack
00:44:50in the corner was Ripley.
00:44:51And Ripley ended up eating shoulder first
00:44:53the steel ring post.
00:44:59It's not often you see that.
00:45:01Shots of Rhea Ripley just bouncing off a competitor.
00:45:03This is a Julia with an extra drive in her tonight.
00:45:08Perhaps impressed by tag partner
00:45:11Keanu James qualifying for the elimination chamber
00:45:14and thinking,
00:45:14you know what,
00:45:15I'm going to try upstaging her now.
00:45:18With a major singles victory against Rhea Ripley.
00:45:24Slamming her into the top of that barrier.
00:45:30You see the emotion that Julia is battling with tonight
00:45:33as Rhea looks to turn things around,
00:45:35deliver that barrier shot to Julia.
00:45:38Yeah, and I think Julia has been the picture of composure
00:45:42at times here since arriving on SmackDown.
00:45:44And I think the angry version of Julia
00:45:47is clearly peeling back the layers
00:45:50and finding something extra special here
00:45:52and really dominating Rhea Ripley.
00:45:55But it's rare you see anybody doing that.
00:46:00She's locking up her arms
00:46:02in between the ropes and pulling back.
00:46:05So let me check,
00:46:06is that the beautiful part or the madness part?
00:46:08That would be the madness part.
00:46:09I think you're right on that one.
00:46:12Rey's look in the eyes of the US champ.
00:46:16Who knows she's in full control of this one
00:46:19and I don't think too many people
00:46:21would have predicted Rhea Ripley
00:46:22at the feet of Julia
00:46:24this easily in this matchup.
00:46:27The intensity of Julia that we are seeing here.
00:46:33I'm going to stretch her out here
00:46:35with all that leverage,
00:46:36pulling back in the compromised position of the lower...
00:46:38Oh my!
00:46:41Oh, that might be a knockout.
00:46:42That might be a knockout.
00:46:44One, two, four...
00:46:45Oh, the jaw of Ripley bouncing off the mat.
00:46:49I have no idea how Ripley kicked out there.
00:46:53With a force coming down with her leg
00:46:56and just slamming Ripley's head.
00:46:58And there is no respite whatsoever
00:47:00from these attacks from Julia
00:47:02who is on a mission tonight.
00:47:04Well, I go as far as to say
00:47:06this is the best Julia has looked
00:47:08since arriving on SmackDown.
00:47:14Complete control
00:47:15and making it look almost effortless.
00:47:42Julia, the United States champion,
00:47:44is in control here
00:47:45in this non-title match against Rhea Ripley.
00:47:47It's all the emotion of recent weeks
00:47:49that has boiled up in Julia
00:47:51and we have seen plenty of spirit
00:47:52and fight energy.
00:47:54Came up for it
00:47:54in the elimination chamber,
00:47:56qualifying.
00:47:56Austin Attack Team Championship
00:47:58and now taking it out on Rhea.
00:48:00Went for that.
00:48:01Arrivederci, Rhea Ripley
00:48:03just about getting a hand up
00:48:04and blocking it
00:48:05in the nick of time.
00:48:07And Ripley
00:48:08has been taken to test tonight
00:48:11by Julia
00:48:11but is still alive in this one
00:48:14and looking to turn things around.
00:48:18Center of the ring,
00:48:19Julia and Rhea Ripley
00:48:21eight days away
00:48:22from elimination chamber.
00:48:24Rhea Ripley
00:48:25will be in it
00:48:25on the women's side.
00:48:27Julia's tag team partner,
00:48:29Kiana James,
00:48:29that's one of the big stories
00:48:30of the night.
00:48:32She pulled the upset
00:48:32to punch her ticket
00:48:34to elimination chamber.
00:48:37And now Mami.
00:48:39Here comes Rhea.
00:48:41For the first time
00:48:42in this match,
00:48:42Ripley looking to build
00:48:44some momentum
00:48:45after riding out
00:48:46a major storm
00:48:47from Julia.
00:48:48And boy,
00:48:49have things suddenly
00:48:50turned around here.
00:48:51Have they ever.
00:48:54That is the permanent threat
00:48:56that Rhea Ripley holds.
00:48:57Even when she looks beaten,
00:48:59there's still this
00:49:00lurking in the tank.
00:49:03The explosive offense
00:49:04from Ripley
00:49:05and it is met by Julia.
00:49:08Yeah,
00:49:08there's absolutely
00:49:09no letter from Julia tonight.
00:49:11It's like a woman
00:49:11possessed in that ring.
00:49:13She's looking
00:49:14to lock her up
00:49:15in that underhook
00:49:15butterfly position.
00:49:18Of Rhea fighting back
00:49:20from that second rope
00:49:22and turn things around
00:49:23and now she has
00:49:24Julia in a spot.
00:49:26Completely unprotected.
00:49:27Oh.
00:49:31And Ripley
00:49:32with such ease
00:49:34and returns
00:49:35the favor.
00:49:38Base plant
00:49:39right off the shoulder.
00:49:41And Rhea Ripley
00:49:42looks almost furious
00:49:44with herself
00:49:45for allowing Julia
00:49:46to dominate
00:49:47so much of this match.
00:49:54And this could be it now.
00:49:56Oh, she's going
00:49:57for rip time, Wade.
00:49:58Rhea wants to end it
00:49:59right here
00:50:00as Julia fights back
00:50:01with a series of elbows.
00:50:03Well, Julia's done
00:50:03her homework.
00:50:04Knows how devastating
00:50:05that move is.
00:50:06Needs something to reply
00:50:07and that'll do it.
00:50:08That's exactly
00:50:09what she looks
00:50:10to get here.
00:50:11And Arrivederci-Knee.
00:50:13Arrivederci-Knee.
00:50:15And Rhea survives it.
00:50:17But straight back
00:50:18on the attack
00:50:19is Julia again.
00:50:21Absolutely no let-up.
00:50:23Could be a Northern Lights
00:50:25bomb right here
00:50:25but instead
00:50:26the headbutt
00:50:27from Rhea Ripley
00:50:28and quickly
00:50:30into position
00:50:31for a roll.
00:50:32And uh-oh.
00:50:33Nia Jax has arrived.
00:50:37As has Lash Legend.
00:50:41Remember what's going down
00:50:43next week
00:50:44in Louisville.
00:50:45The irresistible forces
00:50:47sending a major message
00:50:49now to 50%
00:50:50of the women's tag champs.
00:50:52Rhea Ripley
00:50:53who is getting mugged
00:50:55in the ring
00:50:55and backup
00:50:56is on his way.
00:50:59Here comes
00:51:00EOSKY
00:51:01the other half
00:51:03of the tag team champions.
00:51:06Nicely navigating
00:51:07her way around
00:51:08Nia Jax.
00:51:10It's only half the puzzle there.
00:51:12The genius of the sky.
00:51:14The show-tay uppercuts
00:51:16on Lash Legend.
00:51:17What a mismatch
00:51:18those two on.
00:51:20Rhea clears the ring
00:51:22of Lash Legend.
00:51:28But their arrival
00:51:29put an end
00:51:30to a feisty match.
00:51:32They will meet
00:51:33with the tag team

00:58:42the issue
00:58:42over
00:58:43but clearly

00:59:44at the start

00:59:49his championship
00:59:49record
00:59:53yeah Randy Orton
00:59:55generally
00:59:56the favourite
00:59:58for any match
00:59:59he's competing in
01:00:00however
01:00:01the elimination
01:00:02chamber
01:00:03there is an element
01:00:04of luck involved
01:00:05of course
01:00:06regarding when
01:00:07the pods open
01:00:07and just in general
01:00:10such a hard
01:00:11match to predict
01:00:12with six of the best
01:00:13competing
01:00:14and all that
01:00:14steel and carnage
01:00:18it's going to be
01:00:19quite the event
01:00:20one week
01:00:20from tomorrow
01:00:25but Orton's
01:00:26got to get there
01:00:27in one piece
01:00:28first
01:00:28and of course
01:00:29locking up
01:00:29with someone
01:00:30as dangerous
01:00:30as Alistair Black
01:00:32is no easy task
01:00:33Black
01:00:34sent some cryptic
01:00:35words
01:00:36the way of Orton
01:00:37last week
01:00:37and indeed
01:00:38again this week
01:00:39and despite
01:00:40those words
01:00:41being cloaked
01:00:42in his typical
01:00:44ambiguity
01:00:45the words
01:00:46were clearly
01:00:47dripping with
01:00:48threat
01:00:48they talk to me
01:00:51they tell me
01:00:52things that I'm
01:00:54losing
01:00:54they show me
01:00:55things
01:00:56I'll tell you
01:00:57they talk to me
01:01:08earlier tonight
01:01:09Alistair Black
01:01:11telling Randy Orton
01:01:12that the guy he's
01:01:13seen the past
01:01:13couple weeks
01:01:14that's not the
01:01:15viper he knows
01:01:17yeah I've got to be
01:01:19I don't know
01:01:19what Alistair Black
01:01:20is getting at
01:01:21and that probably
01:01:22goes for a lot
01:01:22of the things
01:01:23that come out
01:01:23of the mouth
01:01:23of Alistair Black
01:01:24I'm not quite
01:01:25sure what he
01:01:26means
01:01:26I think he was
01:01:27alluding to the
01:01:28fact that this
01:01:28great friendship
01:01:30of Cody Rhodes
01:01:31and Randy Orton
01:01:32they're going to
01:01:32meet in the
01:01:33elimination chamber
01:01:34I think he was
01:01:35stirring that part
01:01:36but
01:01:40you've got to be
01:01:41careful
01:01:42stirring up
01:01:43a viper's nest
01:01:44and now Alistair Black
01:01:45is the one
01:01:46who's put himself
01:01:47in major danger
01:01:48in my eyes
01:01:49well the appreciation
01:01:50from this crowd
01:01:51here chanting
01:01:52Randy Randy
01:01:53right on the
01:01:53opening bell
01:01:5411,400 plus
01:01:56here at the
01:01:57home of the
01:01:57Stanley Cup
01:01:58champion for
01:01:59the Panthers
01:02:08skill of Black
01:02:25both men's
01:02:26run their best
01:02:26and so some
01:02:27fear in the
01:02:28mind of their
01:02:28opponent
01:02:29Orton for once
01:02:30met his match
01:02:31there with
01:02:31Alistair Black
01:02:33sinister looking
01:02:34pose from both
01:02:35men but
01:02:36back on top
01:02:37Orton
01:02:372, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
01:02:51and how about
01:02:52a bonus strike
01:02:53out onto the
01:02:55floor
01:02:55the viper
01:02:57off to a
01:02:58good start
01:03:22Alistair Black
01:03:23and
01:03:25Alistair Black
01:03:26knew that was
01:03:26coming
01:03:32comes back with a kick attack and Randy back into the ring
01:03:38yeah the difficulty in staying one step ahead of Randy Orton
01:03:43is quite the task and believe me I've locked up with Orton on more than one occasion and
01:03:48I rarely came off well and Orton once again going back to Old Faithful that desk
01:03:56equivalent of a tag partner for Randy Orton over the years and it seems to be the case
01:04:00once again tonight oh man the impact on the back of Aleister Black
01:04:19I think the Viper is hearing voices in his head and they're saying one more time
01:04:24he's hearing 11,434 of them and he delivers on exactly what they want
01:04:32ask and ye shall receive
01:04:39Aleister Black at this point might be regretting talking a little smack to the Viper earlier
01:04:47how about three
01:04:50we didn't even ask for that one that's a bonus
01:05:08Brad just soaking it in breaking the count again just to dole out more punishment on Aleister Black
01:05:16and it is just an experience witnessing one of the greatest in history Randy Orton do his thing
01:05:23and these people here tonight get a real treat
01:05:26I feel like Orton has barely even broken sweat at this point and been completely dominant in the process
01:05:35trying to scramble away is Aleister Black and finally getting some shots in in return
01:05:44he needs every one of those kicks
01:05:46there's been a non-stop attack
01:05:48those Muay Thai strikes that have helped Aleister Black become the major name that he is
01:05:54we're just bouncing off the Viper
01:05:59look at the way his body is draped across that timekeeper barrier
01:06:17the Viper Randy Orton
01:06:20who looked to shut up Aleister Black earlier tonight
01:06:24said if he wants to see the old Randy then go get your gear and that is how we have
01:06:29ended up with this
01:06:30main event as Randy Orton has been in complete control
01:06:34just devastating stumps destroying the body of Aleister Black
01:06:38and Randy Orton has been at his cold and calculated best
01:06:42and clearly Zelina is aware of that
01:06:45she's trying to throw a spanner in the works here for Orton
01:06:48and this distraction may be pivotal
01:06:50oh and it pays off with that knee to the back
01:06:53from Aleister Black
01:06:56Zelina paying dividends there for Aleister Black who was getting absolutely
01:07:00nothing in this match but these kicks from Black are devastating the Muay Thai expert
01:07:07where he's so dangerous and you brought it up
01:07:10just eight days away from Elimination Chamber and Randy
01:07:14in against a dangerous striker like Aleister Black
01:07:17yeah that's the danger in taking a match like this
01:07:20you think you know what I'll shut this guy up
01:07:21but you also want to try and play 100%
01:07:25he can win it right here
01:07:27ahead of Elimination Chamber
01:07:29and that was a late kick out from Orton
01:07:31that was a massive knee
01:07:32literally a couple big strikes
01:07:34took a knee on the point of the jaw
01:07:36I don't care how great you are
01:07:37take another look at the impact of that
01:07:39and there's no blocking that shot
01:07:41on Orton for all his greatness
01:07:44for all those 20 plus years
01:07:46he's still a human being with a human being jaw
01:07:50and that impact has clearly taken a major toll on the Viper
01:07:56and your was the first to qualify for Elimination Chamber
01:08:02Elimination Chamber
01:08:03Aleister Black came up short
01:08:05Black challenged him earlier tonight
01:08:08Brand be glad to take it
01:08:10remember Monday the tribute to AJ Styles
01:08:13one of the greatest ever do it
01:08:16he will have his final address to the WWE Universe
01:08:19on Monday Night Raw
01:08:23wow from that suplex
01:08:25still throwing knee shots at every angle
01:08:28that is the
01:08:28right to the top of the head weight
01:08:30crazy skilled
01:08:31feet and knees of Aleister Black
01:08:34he's up for the vertical suplex
01:08:36next thing you know
01:08:36you have a knee coming down
01:08:37top of your head
01:08:39here's Aleister Black
01:08:40hook in the leg
01:08:41so here's the problem
01:08:43when you're in there
01:08:43with someone like an Aleister Black
01:08:45who's this kind of cross over fighter
01:08:47from the Wall of Muay Thai
01:08:48and Thai boxing
01:08:50nobody trains for this kind of offense
01:08:52in wrestling gym
01:08:54so Randy Orton for all his career
01:08:55is taking on the absolute best out there
01:08:57he's never fought someone with the kind of skill set
01:09:00of an Aleister Black
01:09:01and that's why
01:09:02when Aleister Black gets a little momentum
01:09:04there is no way to block these shots
01:09:07for Randy Orton
01:09:08this is all new offense
01:09:10that Orton is receiving
01:09:11and he's 25 years deep into a career
01:09:13yeah of anybody
01:09:14on the roster
01:09:15of anybody in the locker room
01:09:17Aleister Black
01:09:17possesses the most extensive
01:09:19background
01:09:19in martial arts
01:09:21and you're seeing it
01:09:22come through mid-match
01:09:27but Randy
01:09:28you know what he's capable of
01:09:32looking for that draping DDT
01:09:35desperately trying to break that rhythm
01:09:37is black
01:09:37and he's
01:09:38doing exactly
01:09:39what you need to do
01:09:40in that situation
01:09:42just stop on Orton
01:09:43in his tracks
01:09:53back and forth they go
01:09:55you can see Randy
01:09:56a little unsteady
01:09:57on his feet for a moment
01:10:02trying to figure out the method
01:10:03to the madness of Aleister Black
01:10:05and I do see it as a madness
01:10:07it doesn't quite connect
01:10:08with a lot of us mentally
01:10:10but Black returned to WWE
01:10:12with a stated intent
01:10:13of making up for lost time
01:10:15and getting on a fast track
01:10:17to the main event
01:10:18well if you want to be
01:10:19in some main events
01:10:20around here
01:10:20winning a singles match
01:10:22against Randy Orton
01:10:23will certainly help your cause
01:10:25and that is likely the reason
01:10:28why Aleister Black
01:10:29is currently targeting
01:10:30such a big fish
01:10:31as Randy Orton
01:10:33yeah that's as big of a notch
01:10:34that you can put on the belt
01:10:37Randy up to his feet
01:10:39able to counter
01:10:40back suplex
01:10:43yeah for all the strikes
01:10:44in the world
01:10:45there is simply no
01:10:45accounting for power
01:10:47and Randy
01:10:47getting that look
01:10:48in his eye
01:10:50he's wounded
01:10:52and that is perhaps
01:10:54when the Viper
01:10:55is at his most dangerous
01:10:56look at those eyes
01:10:58that is where danger works
01:11:00Black picks
01:11:02the ice cold stare
01:11:04has returned
01:11:04and I would not want to be
01:11:06Alistair Black
01:11:07right now
01:11:11Randy on the attack
01:11:16that scoop snap
01:11:17power slam
01:11:22big conception
01:11:27Randy looking
01:11:28as barbaric
01:11:30as ever
01:11:30it didn't work
01:11:31the first time
01:11:32but this time
01:11:32Alistair Black
01:11:33is a lot more
01:11:34softened up
01:11:37the draping DDT
01:11:51and now he is
01:11:53zoned in
01:11:53on the target
01:12:01Black
01:12:02able to survive it
01:12:03wisely
01:12:05scalpering out of that
01:12:05I don't know how much is left
01:12:07in Alistair Black
01:12:08but he better smart it up
01:12:09quick
01:12:09because in hot pursuit
01:12:11is Randy Orton
01:12:12oh
01:12:13big kick
01:12:14I mean he caught him
01:12:15clean and flush
01:12:16just a roundhouse
01:12:18to the temple
01:12:18of Orton
01:12:19and Orton struggling
01:12:20but

01:13:00well it worked the first
01:13:01time around
