Okay let's be honest about this Cole.
>> Ring the bell [SOUND] >> King Corbin has defeated Roman Reigns
twice recently.
>> Coming right after Roman Reigns, and
Corbin's upset of course as we touched on earlier the fact that Roman Reigns cost
him an opportunity at the Universal Title at the rumble in three weeks.
[NOISE] >> And somehow that's out of line for
Corbin to be upset about losing an opportunity in that town because of
Roman's jealousy.
>> Yeah, but do not get emotionally charged against Roman Reigns because
the Big Dog will turn it against you, as he's doing right now.
>> We're heading down heavy right hands.
Samoa drop flattens King Corbin, smart move.
>> Yeah, Corbin rolling out of harm's way or did he?
>> Roman Reigns look into the try bide and King Corbin.
>> Are you ever really out of harm's way when you're dealing with the Big Dog?
Now look at Dolph Ziggler, the veteran distracting Reigns momentarily,
allowing Corbin to roll back into the ring.
>> [NOISE] >> And
Ziggler pays dividends as Corbin makes the tag, and here comes Dolph.
[SOUND].
And that's the difference between these two teams, Ziggler and Corbin are a union,
a cohesive unit working toward a common cause to make Friday nights Smackdown
a better place.
>> Raised with a big boot down goes Ziggler.
>> Both Roman and
Daniel Bryan are obsessed with the universal championship tag bait.
>> Here comes Daniel Bryan, Reign says he'll win the Rumble Match, Bryan says,
he'll beat Bray Wyatt and then Bryan and
Reigns can meet in the main event at WrestleMania for the Universal Title.
>> No doubt about that, it would be a worthy WrestleMania main event.
I wouldn't be mad at watching it.
Corbin driven right down to our announce table and
Dolph Ziggler gonna be lanced over the top rope as well by Daniel Bryan and
Daniel Bryan who is well received here in Memphis.
He started his career in this city trained by.
>> [LAUGHS] >> Come
on now >> But here tonight,
Friday night Smackdown on Fox tag team main event Roman Reigns,
Daniel Bryan against King Corbin and Dolph Ziggler.
Meanwhile Roman Reigns is pin off on the King.
>> [NOISE] [APPLAUSE] >> Reigns with all his
momentum delivering a big boot and you have to consider that Roman Reigns Corey
maybe the odds on favorite heading into the Royal Rumble match three weeks Sunday.
>> History's taught us you can never bet against the Big Dog in a high pressure
situation.
But that said Roman's gonna find himself with a massive target on his back amongst
the 29 other superstar.
>> Back to loading Ziggler runs right into a right hand causing the distraction
on the apron, Corbin misses wildlife and there it is deep six,
Corbin crawls to the cover, hooks the legs on Reigns, pins the arms and
almost had him, two and a half.
>> What another feather in the cap of King Corbin it would be to pick
up another win over Roman Reigns tonight.
>> And it was a stellar 2019 for Corbin, wants to continue it.
Here in 2020, Reigns drove shoulder first into the steps.
Corbin is big and bad as they come here at WWE and
when he's got the likes of Dolph Ziggler hanging around him, look out.
Meanwhile, Corbin now and Reigns bounced right off our announce table.
>> You gotta respect the veteran leadership
>> That Dolph Ziggler provides in
Corbin's corner.
>> Tag, and Ziggler now the legal man.
>> Come on, Roman.
You gotta have somewhere to go.
Come on! Go somewhere.
Do something.
He ain't getting in here and you ain't getting out.
Do you hear me, you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you?
>> Not quite selfish and trash talk, the Big Dog
>> Dolph still sheaving
from New Year's Eve and beyond.
>> Yeah, that was a bucket list moment for Ziggler to be a part of the New Year's Eve
show on Fox that already got knocked off and beaten by Reigns.
Neck breaker by Ziggler.
Tag, here comes King Corbin.
>> [NOISE] >> Look how well Corbin and
Ziggler work together.
>> I dislike King Corbin and the way he carries himself, Corey, but
I don't think there's any doubt that you're looking at a future World Champion.
>> Posted, the future could have been at Royal Rumble if it weren't for
Roman Reigns.
>> Meanwhile Daniel Bryan gets that opportunity against the Fiend, Bray Wyatt.
>> All Roman Reigns did was delay the inevitable.
>> Daniel Bryan wants to desperately get into this matchup.
>> Looking on from ring side.
>> Daniel doesn't look too desperate to get into this match.
I think Daniel Bryan's watching Roman Reigns thinking,
I can take it or leave it.
Daniel Bryan has no real allegiance to Roman Reigns.
>> Yeah, maybe I agree with you on that point, Corey.
But come on, you know Daniel Bryan's a competitor.
Listen, right now the fact is Daniel Bryan and
Roman Reigns could be WrestleMania opponents.
That's all that's going through Daniel Bryan's mind right now.
>> Yeah, he's gotta win the Universal Title first at Royal Rumble.
There's the quickness of the athlete, King Corbin erupted into a Superman Punch.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And
now it may be an opportunity to tag in Bryan.
Now Daniel Bryan's anxious to get in the ring because King Corbin is down
on the mat.
Roman did the heavy lifting, now Bryan wants to reap the benefits.
>> I love the way that you reinvent what's going on in the matchup.
Nonetheless, tag, Dolph.
Tag, Bryan.
Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler, now the legal men in this matchup.
And Daniel Bryan, who I mentioned before,
cut his teeth in sports entertainment here in Memphis, Tennessee.
And who will ever forget that iconic Monday Night Raw moment?
The night that Daniel Bryan occupied Raw, right here in Memphis.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And Bryan, again,
has the WWE fans on their feet.
>> Bryan got every bit of the elbow landing on Dolph Ziggler.
[APPLAUSE] >> And
Bryan delivering the drop kick to Ziggler in the corner.
Daniel Bryan would love a victory here tonight,
to continue to build momentum toward the Rumble event.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Daniel Bryan needs all the momentum,
all the confidence he can muster to stand in the ring across from
the Fiend Bray Wyatt.
Saw what happened the first time, Bryan was in the ring with the Fiend.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Daniel Bryan looking to close
the door on this one.
>> Dolph Ziggler in a great deal of trouble.
>> And there are the axe kicks delivered by Bryan.
[NOISE] [APPLAUSE]
>> Duck by Dolph, roll up,
shoulders down, by Bryan, at two, looking for the LaBelle Lock.
Center of the ring.
Can Bryan lock it in?
Dolph is in trouble.
>> Corbin back into the ring from behind breaking things up.
[NOISE] >> Another display of valor from
King Corbin coming to Dolph Ziggler's aid, went for the choke slam.
Spear >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Super kick
>> Down goes the Big Dog.
>> And now looking for the Zig Zag.
Bryan able to shake off Ziggler, Bryan with all the momentum, the running knee!
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Can Bryan capitalize?
>> [APPLAUSE] [SOUND]
[MUSIC]
[NOISE] >> My God,
the Fiend is right in front of us.
[SOUND] The Fiend is here.
And Daniel Bryan, just swatted away by the Fiend Bray Wyatt.
And now Daniel Bryan driven into the post.
The Fiend posted as well.
>> Daniel Bryan is bringing the fight to the Fiend.
Bryan realizes it may be his only way to survive but a Mandible Claw.
>> [NOISE] >> And driven right
through the barricade.
>> [NOISE] >> And the Mandible Claw again.
>> You are so fine >> [LAUGH]
>> [NOISE] [APPLAUSE]
>> Hell yeah
>> My God and just like that,
Daniel Bryan, taken
out of the equation.
>> The Fiend, where the hell is he?
>> Daniel Bryan's practically motionless.
The victim of the paralyzed and Mandible Claw.
>> And Roman Reigns now making his way over here to check on his tag team
partner.
And Dolph Ziggler now from behind blindsiding Roman Reigns.
Driving it in to Daniel Bryan and now King Corbin joining the fray.
>> There's still an active matchup now, isn't?
>> Ziggler and Corbin just taking advantage of the situation.
>> [NOISE] >> My god, and
Ziggler now with handcuffs again.
The last time they handcuffed The Big Dog to the ring post, and
poured dog food all over him.
And there's the dog food and again Corbin and
Dolph Ziggler are gonna humiliate Reigns.
>> Roman Reigns is defenseless right now, out numbered, half handcuffed,
history going to repeat itself once again.
[NOISE] >> Sickening display, Daniel Bryan was
left motionless, Roman Reigns defenseless, here come to the bottom rope.
Uso
[MUSIC]
>> Wait a minute,
[MUSIC]
>> Jimmy and Jey >> They're back!
>> The Usos are here!
Tandem super kick to Ziggler!
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Jimmy and
Jey Uso going after King Corbin!
>> Coming to the aid of their cousin, Roman Reigns.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Memphis has become
the Uso Penitentiary.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> The Usos, Jimmy and
Jey back with a vengeance on Friday Night SmackDown.
>> [NOISE] >> Reigns didn't have an ally in the world
so he had to look to his family and who better than Jimmy and Jay, The Usos.
>> Well, if tonight has been any vindication,
it is gonna be a hell of 2020 on Friday Night SmackDown on FOX.
