>> [SOUND] >> Six man tag team action.
Randy Orton, Shinsuke Nakamura, and AJ Styles,
ready to battle Jinder Mahal, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens.
>> Jinder volunteered to start this match for his team.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And
a play battle against the WWE Champion, AJ Styles on Sunday, but it'll be Orton
>> And to start things off for his team,
against Mahal and Byron, think about the history between these two.
>> Well, I mean, it was Jinder Mahal's victory over Randy Orton that really
sparked this new chapter, this WWE championship chapter of his career.
>> A shot >> Randy Orton going in quickly after
Owens and Zayn.
And now look at- >> Uh-oh, uh-oh.
>> [INAUDIBLE] coming in to get some of Orton.
>> Everything's breaking down in a hurry.
>> And here come Nakamura and AJ Styles, to get involved as well.
>> A lot of emotions in this matchup.
>> And all these superstars flooding outside the ring now.
And Styles taking care of Owens.
Nakamura with a hold of Zayn.
>> Get out of the way.
>> Man.
Zayn just launched into the barricade.
Here comes the Viper to join the fray.
Uh-oh.
>> Boy. >> Boy.
>> No no no no.
>> [NOISE] >> And
Jinder Mahal sent back inside by Orton.
>> You think Orton's a little ticked off?
I think that's a safe assumption Byron,
the Viper definitely not happy about what transpired at Clash of Champions, and
looking to take a pound of flesh as payback.
>> And as Shane Mcmahon said it earlier on tonight,
that RKO to Sami Zayn, whoah, nearly hit there.
That RKO on Sunday nearly closed him out, here's a cover and a kick out.
[NOISE] Now a tag here, and Shinsuke Nakamura comes back into the ring.
Some history with Mahal as well.
Shinsuke Nakamura had a WWE title opportunity at Summer Slam this year.
>> Nakamura came within a hair multiple times of dethroning the modern day
maharajah.
But thanks to some assistance from the Singh brothers,
the rock star failed to do so.
>> Look, this is a very personal situation right here for Nakamura.
At one time, himself and Sami Zayn were very close.
In fact, Sami played a large part in helping Nakamura get adapted to
the American lifestyle.
>> Well Sami Zayn and
Nakamura faced in his very first night in WWE which is in NXT.
And unbelievable contest, Tom and I have the honor of calling.
>> Now Nakamura trying to break free here of Sami Zayn, taken down to the mat.
And you heard what Daniel Bryan said a little bit earlier on tonight.
It was Sami Zayn, and
Kevin Owens who can't be gloating here tonight per general manager Daniel Bryan.
Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens were very vocal about the fact that they felt like
Daniel Bryan was their insurance policy and
they gotta- >> Wait a minute.
Wait, wait, wait, wait,
can we not act like Nakamura just pull Sami Zayn's chest hair out?
>> That was kinda cool.
>> Nakamura very unorthodox.
>> [LAUGH] >> Do whatever it takes to get in
your head.
>> [NOISE] >> Knee right to the midsection,
here comes Nakamura.
That strong style, from Shinsuke.
Back in Sami Zayn and incomes AJ Styles.
Guys I've mentioned it before the break, and
AJ Styles his battle against Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series.
He was fighting tooth and nail to try and give, Team SmackDown the victory in
that match Imagine watching the Team Men's SmackDown Match later on, and
it's Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens who spoil it.
>> Yeah, what Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens did the decision they made affected every
single competitor on this roster.
>> Uh-oh.
>> [NOISE] And Styles able to take down Sami Zayn
>> You know what Byron,
I'm gonna disagree with you.
I think more than anything Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens embarrassed Shane McMahon and
that's what this is all been about, is Shane's personal vendetta.
Thank god Daniel Bryan could bring a level head to the situation.
>> Randy Orton- >> God, awkward.
Down go Sami in a heap.
Now Orton right on top of the cover, fore arm in the face, and a kick out.
I agree, we saw on Sunday how this has affected Shane McMahon how he was unable
to remain impartial but, you've also seen byproduct of guys like Randy Orton,
Shinsuke Nakamura how other careers have been affected.
Thinking about the way Jinder Mahal's career has been affected.
He embarrassed Randy Orton in his hometown of St.
Louis to win the WWE championship, made his name at Orton's expense.
>> [NOISE] >> I have a question for
Jinder Mahal, coming off of Clash of Champions.
What do you do with that name?
How do you move forward?
>> This is a great opportunity for Jinder.
If he were to be able to be the one to win this match for
his team, it puts him right in the right trajectory he wants to be in.
>> Mahal, Owens, and Sami in great control here right now.
And now, it's Kevin Owens here on Orton.
[NOISE] Always saying Mr.
Hall can it keep the pressure on.
This is Smackdown Live here in Newark, New Jersey and
right now the team of Kevin Owens, jinder Mahal and Sammy sane in command,
against the team of Shinsuke Nakamura AJ Styles and Randy Orton.
>> Owens and Zayn have been on the proverbial cloud nine.
Understand they were up to about 2 AM at the TD Garden in Boston,
celebrating the fact that they were keeping their jobs.
>> And they've got every right and freedom in the world to do so, Myron.
Your WWE superstars now you can just go find other employment doing something else
they've dedicated their lives, to doing.
>> Shoulder first in a post, and Kevin Owens a costly mistake.
Can Randy Orton mega tag Sami Zayn and
pursue >> An attack made out of a WWE Champion?
Strike fest on lease by AJ Styles >> AJ Styles with me clothesline.
Awareness by gender, or putting the ropes just
enough to send the phenomenal one crashing >> And
immediately stunted the momentum of the WWE Champion.
Now Kevin Owens right on top of Styles, man.
Watch how Jinder did this.
>> Very, very cagey maneuver by the modern day maharajah.
>> We talked about this earlier, we don't know what kinda condition those ribs
are in from Sunday class of champions >> Epeans in that did styles center
did that.
>> Cover hook to the leg hair to kick out and guys, you can maybe target a lot
of Kevin Owens his frustrations back for his rivalry with AJ Styles for
the United States Championship in matches refereed by Shane McMahon.
Absolutely, and it's been for
the better part of this year that Kevin Owens has been complaining about
the supposed personal vendetta that Shane McMahon has against Owens.
>> Now Sami Zayn back into the ring.
Sami Zayn saying earlier tonight that Daniel Bryan,
that Daniel did the right thing for the legions of fans of the yuck movement.
It's hard to disagree with.
I'm a fan of the Yep movement.
I think Sami and Kevin have been unfairly persecuted.
>> There's the cover, and Styles the kick out.
>> Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens are not innocent.
They don't have halos over their head.
They're just as guilty for digging their own hole.
>> [NOISE] >> Judge not lest ye be judged,
Byron Saxton.
Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens are valuable members of the SmackDown LIVE roster.
And now, once again, they've got job security.
Look at Jinder go to work.
>> Mahal all over Styles here along the ropes.
And, guys, the one thing hanging over this entire night is it was Some severe tension
to kick off the night between Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan.
>> I agree, but it ended with Shane McMahon stating that he does in fact,
trust Daniel Bryan.
And I think Daniel's done a fantastic job of keeping things together tonight.
[INAUDIBLE] Wow >> [INAUDIBLE] Out of the corner by style
some time Kenny get Shinsuke Nakamura
in the corner by Styles a time can get Shinsuke Nakamura at the corner.
That has a clear lane and Nakamura he's just got to figure out where he's on
>> Sami Zayn [INAUDIBLE] Jinder Mahal
trying to grab hold of the legs.
And now Styles makes the tag here Nakamura.
[NOISE] >> And Shinsuke right on top of Sammy.
>> Sam with the left.
>> The last second extention with the heel of the boot.
And now Kevin Owens is catching the strikes right in the back of the neck.
>> Nakamura's had a lot of time on that apron to contemplate what he wants to do.
We are seeing the results.
>> [NOISE] >> [INAUDIBLE]
>> Right to Sami's heart.
[NOISE] >> So quick,
Shinsuke's absolutely sudden just driving the knee right into tje side of
the face of Sami Zayne into the shoulder.
Is how brutal Shinsuke Nakamura can be, such a heavy hitter.
Good vibrations in the corner.
>> Nakamura, Nakamura.
>> You hear the WWE universe rallying behind Shinsuke.
>> Lining Sami up for the strike.
Ronnie eviscerated Sami Zayn with a name.
>> Another colour kick out i say how good this would feel for
schinsky Nakamura if he could capture a victory for his team here tonight.
[LAUGH] Might be warming up that right knee.
>> My gosh!
>> If the first one don't get you, the second one will.
>> Sami's out.
>> Aiming the cover, hand in the face, and a kick out.
>> When the second one gets you, it's gonna require extensive dental work,
good Lord.
Nakamura about kicked Sami's head right here on our laps.
Why I forget that he's still employed by WWE.
>> I'm looking for the reverts exploded, trying to get to the ropes,
trying to get Nakamura all special on a shot right on the eye.
>> Bar Move by Sami Zayn.
>> Wow. >> Into the orange bar Sami's ain't
holding on for dear life.
If not to more extent, Sami's arm, this could be over.
>> And Zayn is trying to keep his hands together here, trying to control the clip.
[APPLAUSE] >> And
now Nakamura trying to pry it loose, and.
>> No. Kevin Owens.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Surprise, surprise.
Owens on Randy Norton, sending Owens outside the ring.
Here comes Mahal with a DDT [NOISE].
Pei wei kick from Styles.
Styles isn't done.
>> Starting to break down, and a forearm.

>> Cheap shot to the back of Nakamura's head.
>> Yes. >> Stop.
>> And the official is tossing the Singh Brothers.
>> Thank you.
>> What are you talking about?
>> Let's go. >> What are you talking about?
>> Go.
>> Singh Brothers aren't in the match, they have no purpose to be out here.
>> Uh-oh, RKO.
>> [NOISE] >> Here come the Singh Brothers
once again.
>> And again, Randy's shaking his head.
When are you guys gonna learn?
>> He's already been kicked out of ringside.
Hard headed, that's the problem.
>> Well, they got the easy way before, this could be the hard way.
Randy Orton, the 13 time world champion, at his best.
>> And brothers, you have been removed.
Now Kevin Owens up top, hold on!
A phenomenal forearm.

Boom, the knee strike putting Sami Zayn down for the count.

Sami Zayn has been altered.
Well, disappointment, obviously after the clash Champion unable to take Owens and
