[INAUDIBLE] Look at me.
>> We're in God's hands.
You're gonna have a good time, enjoy.
[INAUDIBLE] >> Listen to him, listen to him.
Yes, we're in good hands.
[MUSIC]
>> For me this is basically another debut for
me, and it's a debut in front of a live crowd.
So I'm blessed and this is exciting.
>> What best to have his own father as his godfather.
And on top of that, the rated R superstar Edge.
>> Seeing seats and not seeing the Thunderdome, that's crazy.
>> Did you expect it?
>> No.
>> To kick my son off with this first match in front of
an audience is freaking surreal, man.
>> [LAUGH] I mean, yeah, I feel like I'm gonna freaking poop myself.
But I also feel like I'm rad.
I just want to go out there now.
I need it done.
I need to go, but I also need to slow down and compose myself.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> [LAUGH] Are you ready?
[LAUGH] >> He can't stop smiling.
>> To be able to be out there with Dom who I met when he was four.
And he's got pictures of the SmackDown tag titles that Rey and I had.
>> [INAUDIBLE] taking advantage.
>> One, two, three.
>> We got new tag team champions.
>> History made right here tonight on SmackDown, Cole.
New tag team champs Edge and Rey Mysterio.
>> And he's holding, I mean,
it's all these things again that you can't write that.
It just has to happen.
[MUSIC]
If you want to talk about pressure, Rey and I,
we've been doing this 30 years, right?
Dom's first match in front of an audience is in a main
event the night we come back to full crowds.
I mean, talk about a pressure cooker.
>> It's just, for me, it's so so weird cuz I've been so
used to this for the entrance and
not seeing any of this, just the Thunderdome.
>> It's gonna hit you right in the heart like a baseball bat.
I don't know how else to put it into words.
It's the best part of this job.
>> And there's no way to prepare him.
I mean, the only way is, I keep asking him, are you nervous?
No, I'm okay, I'm just soaking it all in.
He, deep down in his mind and his heart, he was born to do this.
[MUSIC]
One of the things that I love doing the most is getting the audience into
the match, getting to chant Edge, getting to chant Dominik.
And feed off of that energy.
You guys will witness tonight that that will happen.
And we will relive moments, and I can't wait for this day to go.
>> It's crazy.
I'm just ready.
Six o'clock can't come soon enough.
[MUSIC]
I felt like Uncle Adam.
He's got his dad right there, but he's also got me there too,
which is no matter which way he looked yet support.
And I'm so happy and privileged that I can be part of that.
Support for him but also just be there for that experience for him.
20 years from now we're gonna look back at that and say that was special.
[MUSIC]
>> For the first time In 70 weeks,
SmackDown welcomes the WWE Universe live.
We sure have missed you.
>> This is everything.
[INAUDIBLE] a year and a half we haven't had any of this.
This is what we do day in, day out.
We do everything for everybody that's standing here.
[MUSIC]
>> Doors are open!
>> You are looking live at a sold-out Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
14,496 WWE fans are here tonight.
>> The boss is here.
[MUSIC]
>> Please welcome the chairman
of WWE, Mr. McMahon.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Where the hell have you been?
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I'm just ready.
>> I'm just looking at this slowly filling up.
>> That's just my thought.
It's like that Spongebob, it's like I'm ready promotion.
I wanna get out.
>> We are live at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, set for
a massive six man tag team matchup.
That man, the universal champion Roman Reigns, teaming with his cousins
The Usos against Edge and the tag team champions Rey and Dominik Mysterio.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Look at me.
>> You're in God's hands.
>> [CROSSTALK] >> Listen to him.
What a moment for Dominik Mysterio tonight, Pat.
This is Dominik's first match ever in his entire career in front of a WWE Universe.
>> Dominik Mysterio was birthed in the Thunderdome era in
his professional career here at WWE.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And
the tag team partner, WWE Hall of Famer,
the rated R superstar, Edge.
>> The winner of this year's royal rumble match.
>> And the ultimate opportunist.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> There's a different adrenaline,
there's a different feeling, right?
>> Hell yeah, there is.
>> Tag made by Dominik Mysterio.
That was like seeing my spirit pulling out of my body, and
seeing myself jump off the ropes.
We'll be talking about that.
It was crazy, I didn't get tired.
I was pumped, I was ready.
>> Rey Mysterio now.
>> I was so pumped up, like very anxious,
and I wanted to just absorb the reaction.
>> Rey Mysterio flying around.
>> Face first.
>> Getting to do that with your kid, that's just [INAUDIBLE].
>> And Edge planting Jey Uso face first.
Cover now, Jey's got the tight, and the win.
>> [INAUDIBLE].
I'm trying to retain some sense of normalcy in a completely abnormal
condition.
[INAUDIBLE] We're getting it back and this feels like it now.
