Come a dominant champion at some point or at least, the perception needs to be that.
But, there is Liv Morgan hanging out with a champion of a different kind,
UFC welterweight champion, Leon Edwards.
>> I mean, maybe the most talked-about athlete in the world right now short of
Serana Williams.
>> I would be picking his brain you picked Matt Riddle's brain, what can he do?
Hey, how do I beat Shane at a home game?
Can you give me one little tip to maybe get out of some of these submissions?
Or just talking about champion stuff that's important for
Liv right now to getting in that mindset.
I am the champion, I have to be submitted,
I have to be pinned to the mat to lose this championship tonight.
She's not thinking about losing,
she's thinking about walking out with another important victory in this ring.
My word, when I think about the fact that I retired six-years-ago.
Occasionally, I think to myself you know what, maybe I should get back in the ring.
And then I see two men like Sheamus and Gunther about to tear each other apart,
I think hell no, I ain't going anywhere near a ring again.
This one is gonna be a matchup you're gonna have to watch through your fingers.
I've been in the ring with Sheamus so many times.
Every single match, I must have had over 100 matches with him,
I was covered in bruises afterwards, and I know he was too.
Yeah, he was back the next day swinging, Gunther is a real fighter.
He might have bitten off more than he can chew with an angry and motivated Sheamus.
>> Two.
>> [NOISE] >> Moore gets there here comes Madcap,
who's been on quite the roll and red hot on Friday night SmackDown.
>> [NOISE] >> Madcap-
>> Look at the speed of Madcap Moss.
>> Yeah he is just a bundle of energy, tremendous power.
>> Goodness.
>> Talk about this a lot of the times Corey, at SmackDown on Fridays.
In baseball you'd call a star a five tool player, that's Madcap.
>> No doubt about it, just ask Theory first hand.
Shoulder in the corner nearly cut Mr. Money in the Bank in half.
>> And he went for the neckbreaker.
Theory and Madcap had a barnburner of a match a number of weeks ago
on Friday Night, Dawkins up over the top.
And then there's that cockscrew elbow by Angelo Dawkins.
>> [NOISE] >> And into the corner.
>> Right on the temple of Fury.
>> Just an infectitious energy, at The Profits and Madcap together.
Cover, for the win is it enough?
>> Two.
>> Today's main event and there it is, an arrival fit, for The Head of the Table.
The Tribal Chief himself Roman Reigns as he gets set to defend a championship
match, that he's held for two years.
>> Two years he's been dominant and
you cannot pick against Roman Reigns if you watch him for the last two years.
Unless, the man on the other side of that ring,
is Drew McIntyre he's never beaten Roman Reigns before.
>> Wait wait wait, guys guys guys shh, there he is, look at him,
acknowledge him, please.
>> You wanna make your pick first since he's walking out right now Jack you don't
bend down like that, come on.
>> You already know the vibes.
I acknowledge Roman Reigns it's been two glorious years, it does not end today.
It would be a great story, if he pulled off the British Bulldog at SummerSlam, but
it's not gonna happen.
>> It is going to happen because Drew has been fighting for this his entire career,
his entire life.
It happened, he made this show happen, and
he will make those championships look real good, over his shoulders.
>> I'm with Peter I acknowledge The Tribal Chief on every platform, thanks for
watching everybody, enjoy Clash at the castle.
>> A man often finds his destiny, on the path he takes to avoid it.
>> This is surreal.
>> Six years away from WWE.
>> Everyone thinks the decision, to return was difficult.
>> Get a dream, hold onto it, and shoot for the sky!
>> It was not, I knew not what I wanted to do, what I needed to do.
Win this championship bestow it, into the hands of the American Dream Dusty Rhodes.
Unfortunately that dream died, or did it?
[MUSIC]
>> Second generation athlete, one of the richest in-ring IQs, in our industry.
>> Right now high above the clouds,
a certain son of a plumber is grinning from ear to ear.
>> Yes I cannot physically bestow it upon the American Dream Dusty Rhodes.
[MUSIC]
But I certainly, can put it around the waist of the American Nightmare.
>> Cody Rhodes, suffered a partial pectoral tear.
Then, working out preparing for his match tonight,
he tore the pectoral muscle right off the bone.
>> Nonetheless, being the man and
the competitor that Cody Rhodes is Cody will step inside, Hell in a Cell.
[MUSIC]
>> Cody Rhodes, has shown us something that no other WWE superstar, ever has.
>> The heart,the guts and determination of a clearly wounded,
Cody Rhodes giving the performance of a lifetime.
[MUSIC]
>> From undesirable, to undeniable.
[MUSIC]
>> Cody had successful surgery yesterday, and
will be out of action for up to, nine months.
>> I've never been patient, in my career,
a lot of trust has been put into me to do it right.
And I'm going to do it for me, I'm going to do it for my family, and
I am going to do it, for you.
[MUSIC]
>> Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody.
>> I demand, all your
gratitude to for
Giovanni Vinci.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Imperium.
>> And now, the leader of Imperium.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Your Intercontinental Champion.
>> [NOISE] >> The Ring General,
Gunther.
[MUSIC]
>> After all the punishment this man has taken.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Just goes to show you the type of X
factor the live crowd can play.
Fellow Europeans standing behind Sheamus, driving the challenger forward.
>> Four five six- >> With every hit Sheamus.
>> Eight nine, ten.
>> Will taste the intercontinental title.
>> And Gunther, trying to escape the Ten Beats of Bodhran.
>> An unfamiliar site The Ring General in retreat.
>> [NOISE] >> Now Sheamus
sent over the barricade, into the WWE fans.
Now Sheamus said I'm gonna punish you some more.
>> Yeah why not?
>> One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.
>> And eleven, twelve and more.
>> And whose gonna stop him?
>> As referee Jessika Carr was busy.
>> Whoa. >> But
Damien Priest Balor tried to attack and Mysterio, sent him into the WWE universe.
>> [NOISE] >> Now Mysterio, on top of the barricade.
>> Look out, Priest from behind, my God.
>> I don't like this, I don't like this at all.
>> No.
>> Mysterio trying to fight back, atop.
>> Damian Priest is gonna have a long flight back to the states.
>> [NOISE]
>> One.
>> All three of these men finally able to pluck the thorn that is The Judgement Day
from their collective- >> My God!
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Hey, [FOREIGN] listen to me please,
please.
>> [NOISE] >> What the hell?
>> [NOISE] >> Damn it kid what are you doing?
>> [NOISE]
>> He's your father for God's sakes.
>> [NOISE] >> Standing switch by Rollins.
>> Riddle lands on his feet.
>> Riddle, caught him.
>> Triangle.
>> Triangle in, will Rollins tap to The Triangle?
Is Rollins gonna tap?
Will Riddle put Rollins away?
>> The positioning is perfect in the middle of the ring,
Rollins desperately needs to escape.
>> One.
>> Riddle's shoulders were down, he was able to get off.
>> And Riddle hooking Rollins' ankle, preventing Seth from lifting off the mat.
>> Yet there's no where to go Seth maybe fading, Riddle's got it in.
Seth Rollins is fading, Riddle may win this match, Rollins maybe out.
>> [NOISE] >> Rollins
with one last gasp and kicking Riddle in the face.
>> Desperate stomps creates seperation.
>> And looking, goodness, Bro Derek.
>> That's the Bro Derek, that is Riddle's finishing move.
>> One, two.
>> Rollins cover, Riddle did get the shoulder up?
He did, Riddle got the shoulder up at two.
>> What a story that would have been.
[MUSIC]
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Even
the referee is counted mine as he, refocuses on the champ.
>> [NOISE] >> Well let's not start that now.
>> [NOISE] >> There is Karrion Kross,
accompanied by Miss Scarlett, drawing the attention, of McIntyre.
And remember- >> Now is not the time, Drew.
>> You wanna go?
You wanna go? I'll shove that hourglass up your ass
[CROSSTALK] >> We'll do this right now?
We'll do this right now?
>> And Roman Reigns takes advantage.
And perhaps that's the opening Roman needed.
>> That might be the only opening Roman needed.
Drew took his eye off the ball,
and might have just blown the biggest chance in his life.
>> Roman, looking for a vertical suplex, Drew able to turn things around, and
now it's McIntyre's turn, no!
>> [NOISE] >> What a fight?
>> [NOISE] >> Roman just requested a microphone.
>> [NOISE]
>> Cardiff.
>> [NOISE] >> Acknowledge me.
>> [NOISE] >> Glasgow Kiss.
>> I don't think that's what he meant.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Charles Robinson down and
out in front of our table here.
>> My God.
>> No.
>> My God!
>> Not here, not this, that's Mr.
Money in the Bank, Austin Theory, who can cash in a contract.
But it's not unprecedented Corey, we have had a cash in,
to make it a Triple Threat Match, Rollins did it at Wrestle Mania.
>> He's gonna do it.
>> And he beat [CROSSTALK] >> I wanna cash in.
>> My God.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Tyson Fury, just knocked the hell,
out of Theory.
>> Why the hell did he do that for?
>> [APPLAUSE] >> She sends
out a tweet every day and it says I love this, and Liv does love it.
And she's trying to punish Baszler now, and try to retain her championship,
with one arm.
>> [NOISE] >> Baszler in
a precarious position on the top.
>> Whoa whoa whoa.
>> Liv, power bomb for the win on Baszler,
to retain and and Shayna kicks- >> Kirifuda Clutch.
>> The Kirifuda.
>> That is it.
>> The Kirifuda's in, the Clutch is in, can Liv somehow counter?
>> But Baszler looking like she's having trouble applying it
completely with her left arm.
Now with a single armbar applied.
>> Yeah because remember the damage that was done by the armbar on
Morgan earlier on.
Shayna couldn't keep the Kirifuda Clutch in, Morgan makes it to the rope and
survives.
>> [NOISE] >> The end of a reign.
>> Claymore.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> We're gonna crown,
a brand new champion.
