00:00Then.
00:06Now.
00:12Forever.
00:21Together.
00:30Two weeks from tomorrow, four champions will converge and compete in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
00:36Jax, Morgan, Rhodes, Gunther, at stake, global recognition as the best of the best
00:43and the prestige of becoming the first ever WWE crown jewel champion.
00:49Meanwhile, tonight in Colombia, for former undisputed WWE champion Roman Reigns,
00:54his quest back to the head of the table is looking less and less likely.
00:58As last week, Reigns once again found himself at the mercy of the new bloodline
01:04and still achieved without a try.
01:11Tonight we're gonna change things up a little bit.
01:15Join me and acknowledge Big Jim!
01:24Oh my goodness!
01:26Jimmy's back!
01:30I'm the tribal chief, and that means that tape was mine.
01:34That's exactly what we've done. We took what was ours.
01:38We had it all. We ran around here, and everybody feared us.
01:43When we step foot in this ring, I want you to know that we are the ones.
01:51Yeah, but we're not, though.
01:54I stand here in the middle of this ring, and I see a chief with no tribe right now.
01:59I see you with no ulufala around your neck.
02:04Man, I came back because you needed me.
02:07You needed help.
02:09Yo, we need help.
02:18No, ye.
02:21You'll forever be my tribal chief, man.
02:24But I am the only one in the family that still acknowledges you.
02:29The bloodline acknowledges Solo Sokoa.
02:33He's the man who had his own brother attacked and kicked out of the bloodline.
02:37Jimmy Uso seeks revenge.
02:40Solo Sokoa said that Jimmy will acknowledge him.
02:44Here comes Tama Tonga.
02:46And now on the other side, Jacob Batu.
02:50Samoan Spike by Solo.
02:55And now the bloodline assaulting Jimmy Uso.
03:01Roman Reigns on his way to the ring.
03:04Roman returning a favor from Bad Blood coming to the aid.
03:11And now Solo and Roman going at it.
03:15And again, the bloodline strength in numbers.
03:22Terrifying athleticism from the Samoan werewolf.
03:29Samoan Spike to Reigns.
03:45Got a second?
03:58Please, just hear me out real quick.
04:01I said no!
04:03Get out my face, man.
04:14And tonight, live from Columbia, South Carolina,
04:18the new bloodline looks to continue right where they left off last week.
04:26Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
04:30Jacob Batu and the WWE Tag Team Champions,
04:36Tama Tonga and Tonga Man!
04:39The WWE Tag Team Champions,
04:42Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa!
04:45And Solo Sokoa!

06:56The bloodline!
06:59The bloodline!
07:02The bloodline!
07:05The bloodline!
07:08I'm telling you this because you looking at the present and the future.
07:16You looking at the bloodline.
07:23And you looking at the tribal chief.
07:33You see, I'm the man that created a bigger and stronger family.
07:39I'm the man that created a bigger and stronger bloodline.
07:48Yeah, I did.
07:51And Roman Reigns can't do nothing about it.
07:59Jimmy can't do nothing about it neither.
08:02Oh, and then check this out.
08:05And then Jimmy goes to Monday Night Raw and tries to get Jay's help.
08:08But Jay don't want nothing to do with it either.
08:23No yeet.
08:26These beatdowns, these beatdowns,
08:30these beatdowns will continue to happen to Roman Reigns unless he does one thing.
08:42Unless he comes down to the ring
08:45by the end of the night
08:48and acknowledges me.
08:52Oh no!
08:55Hang on a second, Wade.
09:11The Colonial Life Arena just exploded into flames.
09:14The Colonial Life Arena just exploded into flames.
09:21To a sea of yeets,
09:24the Intercontinental Champion,
09:27is on SmackDown tonight.
09:33Well, as this place explodes,
09:36conspicuous by their lack of yeeting,
09:39are the four men stunned in that ring.
09:42Namely, Solo Sakoa and his band of men,
09:45known as the Bloodline.
09:49I've got to ask you, is it the smart decision for Jay Uso
09:52to come here by himself after refusing
09:55to give his own brother, Jimmy, audience at Raw this Monday?
09:58I'll tell you, the only way it is smart for Jay Uso
10:02to be stepping in a ring with Solo Sakoa et al.
10:06is if he is prepared to acknowledge Solo Sakoa
10:11as his tribal chief.
10:13Outside of that, I'd be staying wild clear if I was Jay Uso.
10:17Jay Uso!
10:18Jay Uso!
10:20We all watched on last week on SmackDown
10:23as Solo Sakoa and his Bloodline dismantled
10:26Solo and Jay's brother, Jimmy.
10:31But the Intercontinental Champion
10:33is in the house to kick things off.
10:47Hey, hey, man, it's been Jey Uso, and now we're going to finish it off!
10:52All I'm going to say is just breathe!
10:56Day one in Tokyo!
10:59Day one in Tokyo!
11:02Well, I just see that he's soloed the co-op.
11:05Just give Jey Uso the go-ahead to get up on those ropes and eat.
11:10Break! Break! Break! Break! Break! Break! Break! Break!
11:16I'm going to call out all the pros.
11:19Perhaps Solo's feeling a little oozy tonight.
11:23Let's not go too far forward.
11:26Let's go down and get a move!
11:29Okay! Yeah! Okay! Yeah!
11:32Hey, let's get it on!
11:34I'm about to get a move! I'm about to get a move!
11:47What's up, little brother?
11:53It's been a minute.
11:57I promise I'm not out here to fight you.
12:03Because at the end of the day, I still care about you.
12:07You're still my little brother.
12:14Look, Jimmy and Roman are not here yet.
12:18So I came out here to talk to you one-on-one, ooze to ooze.
12:26But think about what you're doing.
12:33Think about what you're doing to the family.
12:38Think about what you're doing to the bloodline.
12:46Nobody got bigger issues with Roman than I do.
12:49But dividing a family like this, it ain't it.
12:52I left. I left the family, ooze.
12:55I left to be my own man.
12:58I left to Raw.
13:00Man, I became the Intercontinental Champion, little brother.
13:04Man, I became the Intercontinental Champion, little brother.
13:17Look, though. Look, though.
13:28Yes, I did.
13:31Amen.
13:33Look, ooze.
13:35Fighting over the Ula Fala, though, is not it.
13:40That right there is earned, not taken.
13:43You know better.
13:47But if you want to end Roman's power, then do it.
13:53Just don't divide the family while you do it.
13:58Are you done wasting my time?
14:03Huh? You come out here, you ye, ye, ye.
14:07Who said anything about dividing the family?
14:10I'm not trying to divide the family.
14:12I'm trying to unite the family.
14:19And stop calling me your little brother.
14:23I'm your tribal chief now.
14:28And I'll always have a place for you and Roman in my bloodline.
14:34But all you have to do is acknowledge me.
14:42You see, I don't want you to follow Jimmy's footsteps, because look where I got him.
14:49So are you in?
14:54Or are you out?
14:57Out!
14:59Out!
15:01Out!
15:03Out!
15:05Out!
15:07Out!
15:18Man, look.
15:21If what you're saying is true.
15:24and you trying to unite our bloodline
15:29then why did you have to go and get them?
15:33why'd you have to go get them Us, Tama
15:37Tonga
15:39why'd you have to go get Jacob?
15:41there's a reason why we stayed away from him
15:44and if you keep staring at me like that, I'm gonna knock your ass out
15:54I'm not here for that, all right?
16:08forget all that
16:12next time I see you Us, it's gonna be different
16:16Wade, what on earth do you think Jey Uso meant by that?
16:32next time I see you, it's gonna be different
16:35it's top talk, things are going very well for Jey Uso ever since he blazed his own trail
16:42but now tread carefully around little bro or should I say the tribal chief Solo Sokoa
16:50especially when he's backed up by that trio
16:55Solo telling Jey he's looking to unite the family and there will always be a place in the bloodline
17:02for Jey and Roman Reigns
17:11we are just getting started tonight on SmackDown and coming up next
17:18welcome back to SmackDown, get ready for triple threat tag team action
17:33the following is a triple threat tag team qualifying match
17:41introducing the company by b-fab, Angelo Dawkins, and Montez Ford, The Street Profits
17:53we are preparing for the first of two triple threat tag team qualifying matches tonight on SmackDown
18:00the second to come later in the evening, the winners of each match will advance and battle
18:06one another next week on Friday Night SmackDown for the opportunity to challenge for the WWE
18:12tag team titles currently held by, you guessed it, The Bloodline
18:17yeah be careful what you wish for, this feels like the first step in the journey of a thousand
18:23miles if you really are gonna win gold here in the tag ranks on SmackDown
18:28just entering now of course The Street Profits already in the ring, DIY-ed
18:34of all the things I've missed not being on SmackDown, yes boys, Bridie and Edley are there
18:40and look at their outfits, couple of dedicated followers of fashion, they've got poppies on
18:46their male bralettes Corey, imagine wearing a pair of those in your favorite club in Pittsburgh
18:51high fashion, even higher impact, remember oh triple threat tag team rules in effect
18:56cover here by Montez Forth, one member of each team will be legal at all times
19:01but you must tag your own teammate for them to make entry into this matchup, Montez Forth
19:07sent to the apron met by a knee from Ciampa, keep your eyes on Pretty Deadly Wade, I always do mate
19:14I never take my eyes off, I think that might have been a miscalculation by Elton Prince who is now
19:24high-tailing it out of the ring, being run down by the Sicilian Psycho, Ken Wilson, genius, expert
19:33level tag team trap, that was far from expert level just sheer brutality from Angelo Hawkins
19:42keep your eyes peeled at all times gentlemen, this thing breaking down in a hurry to the surprise of
19:48absolutely no one, here comes Kez, my god what athleticism, stop the landing too, Montez Forth
19:59setting his sights on Johnny Gargano, kick connects on the ear of Johnny Wrestling, here comes Kez
20:03big knee by Ciampa into the cover, hook of the leg to advance and Forth keeps the street profits
20:10chances alive, oh man that was a thousand miles per hour start from all three teams
20:16and get Wilson from behind, such is the nature of triples threat action even in the tag division
20:24you simply are not safe, tag made Elton Prince now legal for Pretty Deadly, no matter how much you feel
20:30like you're in control of this kind of matchup, three teams that are effectively two wins away
20:36for a shot of the golden cover, tremendous tag team innovation by Pretty Deadly, but Ciampa has enough
20:45left in the tank to keep this match alive, let's look at this again, off of the back of Prince into a
20:52Codebreaker type maneuver, double knees to the face of Ciampa, straight out of the PD playbook
20:59dazzling with their poppy clad outfits and now battering with their offense, what is your obsession
21:05with poppies, that's a British thing isn't it, oh man the poppy is the symbol of greatness in the UK
21:11our greatest generations were all clad in poppies
21:16and what a display does play, can Pretty Deadly advance in this tournament
21:23shoulder down, back to Soto, oh my god Tommaso Ciampa from the middle row
21:31air raid crash, Montez foil with a 450 to advance
21:37and Johnny Gargano keeps it alive for DIY, Ciampa going for broke and it almost backfired such as the speed of Montez foil
21:49remember triple threat tag team rules are in effect despite the chaos at the moment, only one member of
21:56each respective team can be legal at any given time, good luck to this referee trying to figure out
22:01exactly who is legal at any one point, beautiful double team by the prophets, down goes Ciampa
22:08but Pretty Deadly making their presence felt, Kit Wilson looking to steal it
22:14DIY will not be denied yet, was milliseconds away from victory and now Tommaso Ciampa
22:21isolated completely alone in the ring, this could be the moment Pretty Deadly have been waiting for
22:25but keep your eyes on Montez Ford, fast as lightning, Montez Ford back to save the day for his three prophets
22:35the adrenaline pumping through the veins of Montez Ford
22:41making the long climb to the top and Prince takes out Tez's legs, desperation move there from
22:49Elton Prince but it may come good in the end, PD have to go in for the kill and they have to do it now
22:56here comes Angelo Dawkins to the aid of Montez, Wilson spills to the floor, this is not where
23:02Elton wants to be weighed, doomsday blockbuster by the three prophets, but Ciampa and Gargano
23:11meet in the middle, it's anyone's ballgame, who's legal
23:17Ciampa is the legal man, okay here, Montez Ford did not, are your winners, D.I.Y.
23:36ladies and gentlemen, the winners of the match are C.I.Y.
23:44well you heard exactly what Jessica Carr, the referee just said there, let's try and break this down here
23:52a great job by Jessica Carr keeping her eyes on the action during all of this, the legal man
23:58there was Kit Wilson, he actually got knocked out of the ring, now at this point Elton Prince is not
24:04legal, there had been a tag to Kit Wilson, the three prophets clearly got confused at this point as
24:10were everybody else in the arena, but Tommaso Ciampa kept his eye on the ball
24:16well here's that tag to Kit Wilson that took Elton Prince out of the equation
24:23wow, three prophets thought they had this one won, but it was D.I.Y. who kept their eye on the ball
24:31kicked the legal man and they are knocked out, well certainly won't sit well with the street
24:36profits, no doubt about that, but it is undeniable that D.I.Y. took that ever important next step
24:41towards hopefully once again becoming tag team champions, another superstar Wade who took the
24:46important next step towards potentially earning gold happened last week here on SmackDown in the
24:51women's division, yeah this as you say on SmackDown, Jax versus Naomi, Tiffany Stratton was prevented
24:59from intervening by the massive Raquel and as Jax was looking to close herself in on victory
25:07once again intervening was Raquel allowing Liv Morgan to smash Nia Jax with the money in the
25:14back briefcase and Naomi picked up a massive W against the champ much to the degree of Nia Jax
25:24well we were scheduled to have a tag team matchup tonight but we understand there is some news
25:28breaking backstage at this very moment regarding this Bayley, Naomi, Nia, Tiffany tag team matchup
25:34we promise we'll do our best to get you the information and get you up to date when we come back

29:00you're welcome there's your breaking news Tiffany Stratton out of tonight's tag team
29:07matchup Candice LeRae the WWE women's speed champion is in that one's still to come tonight
29:13both grossly unfair and disrespectful from Nick Aldis
29:20the following contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first accompanied by Chelsea Green
29:30from Ayrshire, Scotland
29:32Piper Niven
29:38Piper Niven making her way to the ring accompanied by Chelsea Green who i understand has remedied the
29:46odor issue she is suffering i was nervous i thought it would smell terrible but it doesn't
29:50but Piper Niven is looking mean moody and magnificent and she is up against the bougie
29:57bully from NXT Lash Legend these two go head-to-head here on SmackDown next
30:12accompanied by Jakara Jackson from Atlanta, Georgia representing Metaphor Lash Legend
30:24well as we prepare for singles action in the women's division i would not be surprised for
30:29there to be some implications in the tag team division as Lash Legend prepares to go one-on-one
30:35with Piper Niven the WWE women's tag team champion Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair with some of the
30:42best seats in the house obviously it was last week here on SmackDown where Lash Legend and
30:49Jakara Jackson had the opportunity to challenge for those championships Piper Niven played a
30:54role Chelsea Green played a role that followed all the way to Monday Night Raw involving damage
30:58control in their championship opportunity wave yeah ultimately it was Niven and Chelsea Green
31:03on the outside who cost Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson their big opportunity and hence we have
31:08this fallout right now a little standoff not too many women have the strength to stand up to Piper
31:14Niven but i assure you Niven will not be bullied by the bougie bully Lash Legend two of the biggest
31:22and baddest women we've ever had here in WWE neither woman looking to take a step back
31:30Piper Niven just mowing through the competition
31:34look out legend out of the way just in the nick of time that was smart from Lash that basement
31:40oh big bump kick to the jaw Chelsea Green knows exactly how that feels big splash by legend into
31:46the cover last week it was Lash Legend delivering that exact same kick to Chelsea Green which sent
31:52Chelsea spilling over our announce desk which could be argued opened the door for the champions
31:57to retain it the power of Niven on display these women just dropping bombs from the work cover by
32:05Piper Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson of course members of Meta 4 has run roughshod over NXT for
32:13quite some time keep a very close eye on Chelsea Green and Jakara Jackson on the outside desperately
32:22willing their partners to victory here i'm a happily married man Wade that's just getting
32:26me in trouble nobody home big overhand shot by legend technique went out of the window from the
32:37off when it came to these two no way throwing everything they have at one another it looked
32:42to me like Lash Legend was going to attempt to choke slam Piper Niven we've seen in NXT the
32:49power possessed by legend this woman is the real deal oh that just gave away she did a lot better
32:59than most when it came to lifting up Piper Niven who is now going in for the count oh my god how's
33:05this for power wow big body slam to Niven Chelsea Green obviously doesn't like what she's seeing
33:13Miss Green letting her presence be felt again to the surprise of no one
33:18that's the distraction of Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson last week will it do the same here
33:23Legend took her eyes off of her opponent and that could cost Lash in a big way
33:30Niven making the climb bone crushing offense legend out of the way
33:37legend out of the way
33:41can Lash Legend topple Piper Niven look at this this is outrageous
33:48unbelievable into the cover hooks the leg Lash Legend with the win
33:56here is your winner Lash Legend
34:04well that has to be the biggest win of Lash Legend's short career thus far and even the tag
34:11chumps Bella Ricardia looked impressed and this is where it all went into meltdown on the outside
34:17of the ring allowing Piper Niven to capitalize but just when she thought she had this one in the bag
34:23the power of Lash Legend came to the fore scoring the victory i gotta say wait after the official
34:30three count both Belair and Cargill looked extremely impressed by what Lash Legend was
34:37able to do moments ago is that impressed or is that terrified because Lash Legend and Jakara
34:44Jackson are coming for those championships well the good news is the winners here at the WWE

39:23match will be crowned the first ever wwe crown jewel champion
39:36and crown jewel we know it will be champion versus champion for the crown jewel championship
39:41but this week wade during wwe's aforementioned tour of the united kingdom both cody rose and
39:48shared the ring with another world champion i am talking about the ufc interim heavyweight champion
39:55tom aspinall one of the uk's favorite songs
40:05and i believe aspinall made it known that potentially after his ufc career has finished
40:10he's very interested in crossing over here to the world of wwe yes he is and i'm glad i'm retired
40:16do not want to lock horns with tom aspinall
40:37before my remarks we have an unbelievably sized crowd this evening
40:46i wanted to just make sure that our friends up there we all say hi to our friends up there
40:55our friends down here we say hi to all of them
41:05a very wise individual recently said to me when it comes to the pantheon of top men and top women
41:13in professional wrestling who would be the next leader he said that the next one doesn't always
41:20look like the last one it's been a quote i've been thinking about quite a bit lately
41:26but in regards to this crown jewel championship it's not about the next one
41:35it's not about the last one it's about who is going to be the first one
41:44so many what ifs in the history of our sport
41:51i'll take you down that road what if the nwa world's champion harley race fought against the
41:58wwf's bruno san martino what if the awa's nick bockwinkle went against the nature boy
42:06rick flair champion versus champion
42:13what if wcw's bill goldberg fought stone cold steve austin
42:22and often when these what ifs did come to fruition the outcome was not always
42:29satisfactory a clever out if you will when it comes to crown jewel
42:34at the end of that night there will be a definitive crown jewel champion
42:45again champion versus champion i am not going to stand here and disparage my opponent
42:53my opponent raw's world heavyweight champion gunther
43:05widely respected by his peers and legends alike brother could chop a tree down with
43:11his hand most men who walk those hallways are terrified of gunther
43:20i'm not
43:23but even if i was i wouldn't bet against me why do i think that i am leaving crown jewel
43:34as champion well for starters look at this thing
43:42cory gray's been talking about it all night on commentary one of the most beautifully designed
43:48title belts in the history of our sport but beauty beauty is only skin deep in the last two
43:56plus years you and i the wwe audience pro wrestling fans alike we have gotten to know each other have
44:03we not so you know when i came back to wwe i wanted to take the john cena schedule i wanted to take
44:15that model and by god we did take that schedule hell we even added to that schedule i have bled
44:23i have sweat i have paid the price and i am not foolish enough to think
44:27that i am done paying the price but again
44:36it's almost skin deep the real reason that i think i'm leaving crown jewel as champion
44:46she's sitting at home right now she's about three foot tall and i need her to know that when my bones
44:56turn to dust my name will be attached to this title as its first champion i need her to know
45:02the name was given to me is the same name that was given to her and it will matter and she
45:07will know you play the game not to lose but you play to win now i'd like to invite next friday on
45:23smackdown the world heavyweight champion gunther to stand in this ring with me i'd like to ask him
45:31what his reasons for all of this are and i'd like to look him in the eyes and say hey champ
45:41what do you want to talk about
45:47well there you have it the american nightmare laying down the gauntlet and fighting
45:53the world heavyweight champion gunther to smack down next week wade do you think
45:58gunther's going to answer the call the gunther backs down to nobody and let me tell you this
46:03gory a crown jewel there are massive implications for the legacies of both cody roads and the ring
46:09general gunther pending who wins that matchup and that new champion it certainly seems that
46:15cody roads has been able to shift his focus to gunther and the crown jewel championship however
46:19i've got to believe that in the back of the american nightmare's mind one man is haunting
46:26every thought of cody's you know i'm talking about i know exactly who you're talking about
46:30here is the couple of weeks ago ko inexplicably jumpy cody cody roads in the aftermath of the bad
46:38blood pla what's the reason ko people are asking me why i turned on cody roads cody roads turned
46:46devon was told not to show up last week on smackdown and moments before a confrontation
46:51between owens and rose randy orton of all people would play peacekeeper between his two friends
46:58randy orton tried to calm down ko received an errant shot immediately gave one back to ko
47:06and then later on as these two were discussing the issue ko savagely attacked his now former friend
47:13right now let's go
47:27i've been in wwe now for uh about 10 years actually it's been over 10 years just recently
47:36and i've had a lot of ups and downs over those 10 years but i don't think things
47:41have ever felt as bad as they do right now
47:48because for wwe officials that tell me to stay home and not come to work not come to
47:55smackdown where i belong because of what i did to cody roads after bad blood is just so
48:04unfair and ridiculous i mean look at what we've seen wwe superstars do to each other
48:13in and out of the ring in the locker rooms all the ambush attacks the beatdowns
48:19and i get told to stay away because i dropped their little golden boy outside of a stupid bus
48:26bus ah come on you know that really um that really makes me ask myself just
48:37how appreciated and valued i am by this company
48:42but that you know that i can i can live with i can kind of get past that what i can't
48:47get over though is what randy orton did to me randy i can't believe that you betrayed me like
48:56that i you know you can let people say whatever they want about me kevin owens turns on all his
49:04friends blah blah blah it doesn't matter i would have never done that to you ever
49:11because i thought what we had was different
49:13dude i
49:19i just can't believe you picked cody roads over me
49:25and uh you know i gotta be honest with everybody i uh with everything that's happening right now
49:31between the disrespect shown to me by wwe and randy breaking my my trust uh like that i
49:43i really don't know if or when i can come back
49:58you know you have time for kevin owens i don't know what anyone else has planned for kevin owens
50:05but i need to get my hands on kevin owens and i want to do it at crown jewel
50:09i had a feeling this was coming brandy i'm sorry it's just not something i can do right now
50:17what do you mean it's not something that you can do it right now
50:21you don't understand it's not that i won't i can't you can't i don't think you understand
50:28what i'm saying i don't think you understand right i don't think you understand what i'm
50:31saying i'm not asking permission with all due respect what i am saying is i want kevin owens
50:36at crown jewel with all due respect i'm saying i can't because it's coming from up above
50:48right well then i guess i guess i know who i need to talk to
50:53hey
51:06another triple threat tag team match coming your way and wait i still can't get over the fact that
51:10roman reigns a few minutes ago said he is going to acknowledge solo shikoha tonight what's the
