Thank you so much, Jackie.
Well, Gunter, it was a massive weekend for
you retaining your Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania.
But tonight, >> You know what would be nice?
If we could just come back from a match once and
not have a microphone straight in our face.
>> That turns me, I mean, I get it.
Since we are the standard bearers around here, as soon as we lose,
you're right here, holding that microphone under my nose.
What happened, why this and that?
>> It's okay.
See, we do not get carried away in the moment.
Our focus is always on the big picture.
We suffered losses through Brawling Brutes before.
But what happened at WrestleMania?
What happened when it really counts?
Sheamus lost.
That's the difference between Sheamus and a group of elite athletes like us.
We are laser focused on our mission.
And that is to protect and restore the honor of this great sport.
We are Imperium and
to us the match is sacred.
>> All right you guys, we'll send it back to you in the studio.
Nothing but smiles backstage here with Raquel and Liv Morgan.
Ladies, I mean, tonight you proved that you have all
the momentum in the world coming up with a big victory.
And next up, you'll take on Lita and Becky Lynch for the Tag Titles.
How will you make sure that you take what worked tonight and
carry it over into Monday.
>> Listen, Megan, it is so hard to not be this confident right now.
I mean, we came off of a hot WrestleMania, victorious on Raw,
victorious on SmackDown.
>> You found that for us.
>> My gosh, But we have to remember that it's not just anyone we're facing,
We are facing Hall of Famer, Lita.
>> And future Hall of Famer, Becky Lynch.
>> So you anyone who wants to step to up to us, literally,
we are not backing down for no one or nothing, nadat.
>> Allah, man, if anyone else wants to disagree that Raquel and
I should not be the number one contenders, well,
then after Monday when we become new Tag Team Champions, they could come find us.
[LAUGH] Let's us, let's go, Raquel, we gotta go.
>> Right, you guys will send it back to you in the studio.
>> Thanks, Jackie, well, it is mommy,
champ mommy's first night here on Friday Night SmackDown.
And Rhea, congratulations on all that you accomplished at WrestleMania and
becoming the new SmackDown Women's Champion.
What was it like here?
>> Wait, before you ask any questions, let me just get my brain around something.
Finn, how many staples did you get again?
>> Me? >> Yeah.
>> 14.
>> Wait, really, Hoh many staples?
>> 14, Dom.
>> Brother, 14 staples, are you kidding me?
>> I'm not kidding, dude, 14.
>> That's right, yeah.
>> You know who else had 14 or something?
>> Who's that? >> Who was that?
>> Charlotte Flair [LAUGH].
Man, and then I took her crown at WrestleMania 39 [LAUGH]
>> Yeah, she did, [LAUGH]
>> Well, congratulations, once again,
on the victory, and we're very happy to have you on the Blue Brin.
But before I you go, Judgment Day, I do have one additional question for you,
Damian Priest.
We all saw what happened between you and Bad Bunny on Monday Night Raw.
What does the future hold between the- >> All right, so there's a lot to be said.
But I'm gonna hold those thoughts for Monday Night.
>> [SOUND] >> Aah.
>> That got me.
>> We always end with a bang.
>> I have sensitive ears, let's count down.
>> [LAUGH] >> You guys,
we'll send it back to you in the studio.
>> [LAUGH]
