00:00Center of the ring. He was getting away from Ray, and now American-Made! All three corners!
00:11The flying headbutts. American-Made getting the best of things here in Vegas.
00:19Last year, I wore jean shorts to the Osborne's annual neighborhood barbecue,
00:23and they yelled at me. This year, I went to Men's Warehouse, so I'll have the best outfit.
00:27Use the good plunger, the big one. Dang it.
00:33This is just a bowl of ketchup. If you don't change, my wife and I are going to yell at you
00:37again like we did last year. How about now? Hey, uh, nice to meet you. Oh my god, you're...
00:44Yeah, no, it's me. Oh my, it's like a stark difference, like you're really, that's good.
00:48Thank you. The chacaroni's back at Papa Don's with more pepperoni than over a half a pound of cheese.
00:53So many orders, we have to staff up. I am here to work, people. Where's the garlic sauce?
00:57Is he always here? He's everywhere. We're making you a chacaroni for $12.99.
01:02That's right, I live here. We're making a splash with another Twisted Tea drop.

01:19New Swiffer Mop Deluxe is made for small spaces. The upgraded strip has 75 percent more scrubbing
01:25power. And with the new locking head, getting into tight spaces is simple. Can I borrow it?

02:42Stop. This is SimpliSafe. Maybe SimpliSafe and I could work together.
02:46Unlikely. There's no safe like SimpliSafe.
02:49Can we have a chat about your law?
02:50If I can turn a dirt patch into a lush lawn, I can do anything. Seed and feed.
02:57That's what you always say. Seed and feed.
02:58Yeah. Look how thick it is. It is thick.
03:00Yeah. It's lawn fixing time with Scott's turf filter grass seed.
03:04The Chacaroni's back at Papa Don's with more pepperonis and over a half a pound of cheese.
03:08So many orders lead to staff up.
03:10I am here to work, people. Where's the garlic sauce?
03:12Is he always here? He's everywhere.
03:14We're making you a Chacaroni for $12.99.
03:17That's right. I live here.
03:22Las Vegas has never had a show like this.
03:36What happens here
03:37It's been an outrageously entertaining Friday night SmackDown here in Las Vegas the night before Wrestlemania 41.
03:59That's Chad Gable who was eliminated earlier tonight from the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal by Ray Phoenix
04:07has been in complete control against Dragon Lee who's looking for an opportunity to rally back.
04:12Look at the teamwork from American Made. Everybody getting involved.
04:17Brutus Ball off the top rope into the cover.
04:22And coming in and making the save is Ray Phoenix who eats a right hand from Julius Creed.
04:28And it's beginning to feel like a lost cause here for this lucha crew.
04:33There have been a plethora of dirty tricks thrown their way by America Made.
04:38It has been so effective that they may well not be regretting demanding this matchup in the first place.
04:45That's what happened after all the heated exchanges backstage after the Battle Royal.
04:52Remember Stand and Deliver's coming your way tomorrow Saturday 1 p.m. Eastern.
04:57Tickets still on sale if you want to get here to T-Mobile if you're local in Vegas for Wrestlemania.
05:03Chad Gable climbing right up there with Dragon Lee.
05:06Dragon Lee's got a hell of a challenge.
05:07Wow.
05:08Navigate his way out of this.
05:09He has all three of them hanging for the double stomp triples.
05:15Well that is about the first daylight Dragon Lee has seen after about seven straight minutes of abuse.
05:24Now desperately clawing his way over to the relatively fresh Ray Phoenix.
05:30He's desperate to get there and he does.
05:32And here comes the celebrated widely accomplished luchador who has been a star in the making in his recent arrival to WWE.
05:43Ray Phoenix has set the world on fire thus far but if he pulls a victory here it really will be something to shout about.
05:51Time and again you see things out of Phoenix just like that as Julius is able to survive.
05:57And it's just over two weeks since Ray Phoenix debuted here in WWE.
06:05And he has completely dominated the conversation ever since but that shot to the gun will knock the stuffing out of anybody.
06:15Julius Creed such an accomplished athlete the two-time All-American at Duke University.
06:24Just unmatched physicality from someone who describes himself as an in-ring savage.
06:31And Ray Phoenix this is the welcome you are certainly not waiting for.
06:38Boy did he ever get sent into that corner. His body went arching and flying.
06:47And I don't know how well adjusted Ray Phoenix is to competing twice in one night once the body cools down after the first match.
06:55It can be difficult to get going again but Ray Phoenix springboard and Phoenix stops down on Julius.
07:06Well just no defenses whatsoever for these kind of attacks. Nobody trains in the U.S. to withstand this kind of abuse.
07:12Oh stepping stone hurricanrana.
07:15Okay, how quick your reactions are, you are not stopping Ray Phoenix.
07:24Cat like speed, goodbye amigo.
07:27Tried it earlier tonight, and he was preventively connected this time.
07:32Operation Dragon, would you look at the pace these two are setting.
07:37Ray Phoenix up top, Meteoro, how about it, for the win, they just cleared him out.
07:48Here are your winners, the team of Dragon Lee, Ray Mysterio, and Ray Phoenix.
08:00Well it looked like it was game over for the Lucha crew but that brilliance from Ray Phoenix combined with
08:06the fire of Dragon Lee managed to pull out that victory when it looked like all was lost.
08:11Hey I'm excited for you, you ready to call Wrestlemania here at this desk with Pat McAfee and Michael Cole.
08:16It's a dream come true, it's going to be a magical weekend.
08:20Well it's going to be amazing, the whole world is going to be waiting to see this tug of war over the
08:24loyalty and friendship of Paul Heyman and the reality check of Seth Rollins.
08:30The names in the bright lights, that's what matters most.
08:34Roman, Seth, Puck.
08:36Let's go.
08:37We sail into the black.
08:56Come to the black
08:59Twelve years ago, we came down those stairs to remake this company in our image
09:18We died a long time ago
09:28You messed up, and your biggest mistake is not understanding the danger that's right in front of us
09:42For two people, it's clearly personal
09:48For me, it's just business
09:51It's become simple math
09:53The two men who want to stand in my way, gotta go
09:57It's in there
09:59You are a WrestleMania main inspector
10:05Thank you, but that's not the favor that I'm owed
10:09One favor, I owe you a favor
10:12No
10:13Our wise man will owe you a favor
10:17At WrestleMania
10:18In my corner
10:21You are a wise man
10:23Tell him no
10:30No, my tribal chief, I can't do that
10:35The black and the fights
10:46Go disappear
10:48Lost and forever broken
10:52Shattered like glass
10:55The scars and the sex
10:57The lies and the favors we tell
11:01And all we are
11:03The fate is your choice
11:06Rotting and cruel
11:08I brought you into this business
11:11I cannot wait to be the man that takes you both out of it
11:16There can be only one, and it's gotta be me
11:20Wise man, how could you betray me?
11:23We still live too far
11:34We still live too far
11:36We still live too far
11:42To the black
11:45To the black
11:55Their complicated history
12:09Has been fused together for years
12:11Tomorrow night, it could all
12:13Explode apart
12:14Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, CM Punk with
12:17Paul Heyman in his corner
12:18The WrestleMania Night 1 main event
12:20A triple threat from here in Vegas
12:23And when we come back
12:28The record-seeking John Cena
12:30The undisputed champion Cody Rhodes
12:32The final face-off
12:34Is next
12:36It has been a spectacular night before
12:43Mania here on SmackDown
12:45In Vegas
12:46The Battle Royal, the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
12:50Was won by Carmelo Hayes
12:52We had DIY
12:53Causing a no-contest interference
12:55In our Tag Team Championship match
12:58A super cold red by
12:59Zelina Vega earned her
13:01The victory
13:01L.A. Knight Braun Strowman came up with the win
13:06And that moments ago
13:07We just saw Ray Phoenix
13:09Do his damage in a six-man tag team match
13:12Just know when it's time for me to get my dick back
13:15All y'all finna be finished
13:16I hit the band

13:58Wait for me to start the show
14:01I'm the kind of lights go off the boat
14:05Whoa!
14:06Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome from Atlanta, Georgia,
14:11the undisputed WWE Champion,
14:15the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes.
14:20A week removed from displaying all the versions through the years of the WWE Championship,
14:27and now holding on to the only one that matters.
14:32The question is, will it still be Cody's when this weekend in Vegas ends?
14:40And now holding on to the only one that matters.
14:44The question is, will it still be Cody's when this weekend in Vegas ends?
14:50Hear the crowd on your toes
14:57Ready for me to start the show
15:00Out the cup of lights go off my hooves
15:05Whoa!
15:07When I was younger
15:11When I was younger
15:14I'll tell me better than the men
15:18The leading light of WWE, QB1, the man who has the weight of the entire industry on his shoulders
15:29this weekend as he tries to protect the future of that championship
15:34of that championship from an opponent in John Cena,
15:39who seemingly wants to burn down everything to the ground.
15:44Cody Rhodes, John Cena streaming up Peacock.
15:48WrestleMania Sunday begins 7 PM Eastern time.
16:04The
16:07The
16:11The
16:15The
16:19The
16:23The
16:25The
16:27The
20:01What I'm doing is so unprecedented, they don't think it's real.
20:05They don't believe it.
20:06They think I'm going to come back because everyone always comes crawling back.
20:11There's no such thing as a wrestling retirement.
20:13There's always one more match.
20:17The reason there isn't a wrestling retirement is because every other wrestler is a scared, insecure loser.
20:27Every other wrestler needs these people needs these people, needs these people to care about them, to post about them, to talk about them.
20:40Because the second they get away from this, they're left alone, by themselves, with their pathetic lives, so they come crawling back as a shell of themselves.
20:52I have love, I have love, I have love, I have love, joy, and worth in my life.
20:57I don't need a single damn one of you.
20:59The only reason I'm here is to take that away from you, the only reason I'm here is to take that away from you and all of you forever.
21:14Don't say I didn't warn you, because I did.
21:22Last year, when you won that championship, everybody's raising you on their shoulder and giving you watches and stuff and saying, good job, champ.
21:31When I had my moment alone with you like a man to your face, I didn't say, good job, champ.
21:37I said, every day you hold that, it gets heavier, and Sunday it finally becomes too heavy for you to hold.
21:45You will lose.
21:51You will lose because you care about them.
21:57You people do not write history.
22:01Winners do.
22:10I came out here tonight because I wanted to share one more thing with you before Sunday.
22:16When I won that Elimination Chamber, I knew it would be impossible to beat you in a match at WrestleMania.
22:24And then in one moment, you changed all that.
22:27You changed all that with what you said to The Rock.
22:34You see, kid, The Rock just gave you a choice.
22:39Do you want to do what they think is right?
22:45Or do you want to win?
22:48And in the moment you made your choice, not only did I think I could beat you, I realized Sunday, you don't stand a chance.
22:57And that night, all that was left for me to do was the one thing you couldn't, prove to them that they don't matter.
23:08You see, all of this, all of this noise from them, these people will always make up their own version of the truth they want to believe.
23:20And when you stop caring about that and stop caring about them, you can start accomplishing anything you want in life.
23:27But you are too weak to understand that.
23:29Sunday, in order to beat me, you are going to have to choose.
23:40Do you do what they think is right?
23:45Or do you win?
23:49And Cody, you are strong.
23:51You are tough and you are driven, but you are also scared, insecure, and naive.
23:55You say you wear this suit because you want to be somebody.
24:01You have your tattoo because you want to be somebody.
24:05You didn't need the tattoo or the suit because Sunday I'm going to make you somebody.
24:15Somebody who finally realizes that to become a winner, you have to sever ties with all the losers in your life.
24:25Or, somebody who had a chance to be a real winner and blew it.
24:34And in that very moment, you will realize that you are not the captain.
24:38You are not the quarterback.
24:41You're still just a kid in a man's world who doesn't have the balls of the last real champion.
24:49Okay, John, the noise.
25:00You always have to say something, right?
25:02This crowd, how they feel about you.
25:23This is who you fight for.
25:26This.
25:27This matters to you.
25:30You said in Monday, and you said that you don't bury talent.
25:34That you are talent.
25:37Well, I know a graveyard of talent that would disagree with that statement.
25:43But we're not talking about them.
25:45We're talking about WrestleMania.
25:47Let me ask you a question, John.
25:49Do you know, do you know his name?
25:56The one who handed you the microphone, you know his name?
25:59No, no.
26:00You don't know her name either, do you?
26:02And I'd wager if you walk backstage, you don't know any of those people either.
26:06This is a different WWE, John.
26:08And when this was your WWE, I worshipped you.
26:11They worshipped you.
26:12But since the GOAT hasn't shown up since Elimination Chamber, allow me to offer you a little perspective, okay?
26:20You called me underwhelming.
26:22Guess what?
26:22You're overrated.
26:26You're overbearing.
26:29And more importantly, you're out of touch.
26:31And you're out of time.
26:33Your face is melting wax.
26:35You got a stack of dimes for a neck.
26:37Spindly ass legs.
26:38You're paler than Sting at Star K97.
26:42And you're sanctimonious, sanctimonious comments about how I'm an errand boy when the whole world watched you sonar on the Oscars stage butt-ass naked for the people that you run errands for now.
26:57And by God, John Cena, it is 2025, and you still can't wrestle.
27:08And you still can't wrestle.
27:38And you still can't wrestle.
27:39And you still can't wrestle.
27:40And you still can't wrestle.
27:41And you still can't wrestle.
27:42And you still can't wrestle.
27:43And you still can't wrestle.
27:44And you still can't wrestle.

27:56And you still can't wrestle.
27:57And you still can't wrestle.
27:58And you still can't wrestle.
27:59And you still can't wrestle.
28:00And you still can't wrestle.
