CHAMPION.
AFTER THAT, SHE HAS A RAW
WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
AGAINST THE CHAMPION, SASHA
BANKS.
>> ASUKA EARNING HER
PAYCHECK TONIGHT.
AND WE ALSO HAVE MANDY ROSE
AGAINST DEVILLE.
DEVILLE HAS UPPED THE STAKES AND
THE LOSER MUST LEAVE WWE
FOREVER.
>> IN A DRAMA A LA GUIDING
LIGHT OR AS THE WORLD TURNS,
THERE IS POISONING, A MISFIT --
AND ANDRADE AND ANGEL DARCY WITH
SELENA VEGA.
>> WE HAVE THE DROP -- WE LOVE
THE DRAMA HERE.
HE WANTS TO PUNISH WHAT HE DID
TO HIS FATHER.
WHEN THEY DO BATTLE, IT IS A
STREET FIGHT.
EVEN IN THEIR CORNER, SETH IS
READY TO DELIVER A BEAT DOWN IN
DOMINIK'S FIRST-EVER WWE MATCH.
>> THIS IS A MATCH I AM
PERSONALLY VERY EXCITED FOR.
THE U.S. CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH.
THEY HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM

>> DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT
EVEN MY EMOTIONS WOULD WORK?
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ALEXA.
ALL I CARE ABOUT IS DESTROYING

ABOUT ME?
WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR YEARS.
WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON HERE,
BRAUN?

[EVIL LAUGHTER]
>> KIND OF LIKE THE FIEND REALLY
APPEARS AND DISAPPEARS, WE ARE
DOING THE SAME THING.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO REJIG ON
THE SLAM.
WE HAVE KNOWN THE FIEND, BRAY
WYATT TO REALLY MANIPULATE AND
GET INSIDE THE HEAD OF HIS
OPPONENTS.
IN THIS CASE, WE HAVE SEEN THE
MONSTER BRAUN STROWMAN DOING
THIS THING THING FLIPPING THE
SCRIPT ON THE FIEND.
HOW DO YOU THINK THAT HAS THROWN
HIM OFF HIS GAME?
>> I THINK HE HAS BEEN THROWN
OFF A LITTLE BIT.
BRAUN STROWMAN IS NOT GOING TO
BE TRICKED UP BY ANYTHING.
HE CAN GO BLOW FOR BLOW WITH
BRAY WYATT, THE FIEND OR
WHOMEVER.
I THINK BRAY WYATT AT THE END OF
THE DAY HAS THE UPPER HAND IN A
SITUATION LIKE THIS.
>> YOU TALK ABOUT THE MENTAL
ASPECT OF THINGS.
BRAUN STROWMAN CANAL MATCH BRAY
WYATT.
LOOK AT THE PHYSICAL ASPECT OF
THIS.
AND I THINK BRAY WYATT IS IN
SOME TROUBLE.
>> YOU HAVE GUYS THAT OF COME
ALONG SEVERAL TIMES INCLUDING
UNDERTAKER AND THE ULTIMATE
WARRIOR.
THEY HAVE ALL HAD A DIFFERENT
LEVEL OF PLAY.
THAT IS WHAT BRAUN STROWMAN IS
DOING.
AS BIG AND TALENTED AS HE IS, I
GIVE THE LEAN TO THE FIEND.
>> BOOKER WAS CONNECTED TO THE
BOGEYMAN.
BOOKER HAD TO DEAL WITH A LOT.
HAD HE GONE FULL BOGEYMAN BACK
AT BOGEYMAN, WHO KNOWS WHAT
HAPPENS AND THAT IS THE
CIRCUMSTANCE HERE.
HERE -- HE HAS TAKEN BRAUN AND
SAID "I AM GOING TO OUTFIEND THE
FIEND."
>> I'M ABOUT TO BUST HIS [BEEP].
>> WE HAVE TO LEAVE THE
DISCUSSION HERE BUT WE KNOW THAT
IT HAS BEEN A ROLLER COASTER IN
SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.
WE HAVE THE RAW TACTIC CHAMPION
STANDING BY WITH SARAH
SCHREIBER.
INTERVIEWER: LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, WITH ME RIGHT NOW
ACCOMPANIED BY THEIR BUSINESS
MANAGER IS ANGEL GARZA, ANDRADE,
AND SELENA.
>> WHERE IS CHARLIE?
INTERVIEWER: SHE IS HOSTING THE
SUMMERSLAM KICKOFF PANEL.
>> WHAT AM I DOING WITH THIS?
WELL, IT WOULD BE A SHAME FOR A
BEAUTIFUL ROSE TO GO TO WASTE.
>> IT SURE WHAT.
INTERVIEWER: DON'T YOU HAVE A
QUESTION YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK
US?
SELENA, DEAL HAVE ANY COMMENT ON
THE ACCUSATION THAT YOU POISONED
MONTEZ FORD?
>> LESSON, BOOTLEG CHARLIE,
THERE WERE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS
GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
THE FACT THAT MY CLIENTS HAVE A
MATCHUP.
I DID NOT POISONED MONTEZ FORD
BUT EVEN IF I DID, WHICH I DID,
IT WOULD NOT MATTER BECAUSE HE
IS 100% FINE RIGHT NOW.
PEOPLE ARE BLOWING HIS TUMMY
ACHE OUT OF PROPORTION.
HE PROVED EVERYONE WRONG WHEN
THEY GOT HE WOULD NOT BE AT 100%
OR THIS MATCH.
HE CHEATED HIS WAY TO VICTORY
THIS LAST MONDAY BUT BESIDES
THAT, IF PEOPLE WANT TO PLAY THE
BLAME GAME, LOOK AT BIANCA
BELAIR.
SHE ATTACKED ME, AN INNOCENT
BYSTANDER.
THE WWE UNIVERSE IS POISONED BY
THE STREET PROFITS.
AND ANDRADE AND ANGEL GARZA ARE
THE ANTIDOTE.
>> AND THE NEXT RAW TAG TEAM
CHAMPIONS.
>> I THOUGHT SARAH WAS GOING TO
BE BACK WITH THE STREET PROFITS
BUT I GUESS IT WAS ANDRADE AND
ANGEL GARCIA.
I WANT TO ASK YOU WHAT IS GOING
ON WITH SELENA.
A LOT OF FINGERS ARE BEING
POINTED.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED WITH
SELENA VEGA?
>> I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR MY
PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITH THE
LADY.
>> SHE IS ALWAYS BEEN MEAN TO
YOU.
>> ALWAYS BEEN VERY RUDE TO ME.
SHE IS SELF ABSORBED.
ONLY FOCUSED ON HERSELF AND HER
CLIENTS.
I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT FROM A
BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE FROM A
PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE, IT SAVES
THE WAY FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND HOW
SHE COULD PULL SOMETHING OFF AS
SCANDALOUS AS POISONING ONE OF
HER CLIENTS.
>> A LOT OF SHADY BUSINESS.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
WONDERING ABOUT THAT.
>> OH MY GOODNESS.
>> THAT IS BEEN GOING THROUGH
THE GRAPEVINE.
>> TELL ME MORE.
>> SHE SHOULD COVER HER DRINKS
NOW.
>> THIS SOUNDS LIKE FAKE NEWS TO
ME.
WHAT MORE ON LEAVES ADRIAN
STANDING OPEN AND WALKS OFF AND
LEAVES IT?
IT IS THE RISK OF THE STREET
PROFITS.
THEY WALK AROUND WITH OPEN CUPS
ALL THE TIME.
IT IS A CONSTANT DANGER.
>> 2020 HAS BEEN A VERY STRANGE
HERE BUT IT IS WORKING IN THE
FAVOR OF ONE MAN AS WE SAW
FRIDAY NIGHT DURING THE
SMACKDOWN.
JEFF HARDY HAVING A MAJOR
ACCOMPLISHMENT OF HIS OWN
AGAINST A.J. STYLES.
>> YOU SEE RETRIBUTION COMING ON
DOING WHAT THEY DO.
A.J. STYLES IS LOOKING FOR AN
OPPORTUNITY.
THIS IS FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
A.J. STYLES IS TRYING TO SECURE
THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
EVERYTHING IS A ROLLING QUITE
SMOOTHLY EVEN RIGHT HERE.
JEFF HARDY LOSES HIS BALANCE.
HAVING TO WEAR THAT KNEE BRACE

RIGHT THERE.
YOU SEE A CRACK AJ AND THEN A
TWIST OF FATE AND YOU KNOW WHAT
IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

CHRISTEN THE WWE -- 
>> THUNDERDOME! THE WWE
THUNDERDOME.
>> I SAW SOMETHING VERY COOL THE
OTHER DAY.
THIS INTERCONTINENTAL VICTORY
COMES 20 YEARS AFTER JEFF HARDY
WON HIS FIRST TITLE.
YOU LOOK AT HIS CAREER SPAN OF
JEFF HARDY AND THE FACT THAT HE
IS BACK IN A TITLE POSITION -- 
>> HE WON HIS FIRST TAG TEAM
CHAMPIONSHIP IN HIS HOME TOWN --
IN HIS HOMETOWN.
>> NOT JUST THAT BUT WE HAVE TO
TALK ABOUT THE STRUGGLE OF JEFF
HARDY.
HE HAS GONE THERE A LOT.
>> AND HOW MUCH HIS STRUGGLE
RESONATES WITH PEOPLE IN THE WWE
UNIVERSE AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT
HAVE STRUGGLED WITH ADDICTION
ISSUES.
>> HE HAS BEEN SO OPEN ABOUT IT
AND DISCUSSED IT.
IT REALLY PROVIDES AN OUTLET FOR
PEOPLE.
>> AND WHEN YOU WORK SO HARD AT
SOMETHING, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU
DESERVE SOMETHING.

SUPERSTARS IN THE WWE AND THAT
INCLUDES SOMEONE ELSE I KNOW

BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN.
"SUMMERSLAM" IS AROUND THE
CORNER WHICH MEANS IT IS ON WAS
TIME TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
>> I'M NOT QUITE READY FOR THAT.
>> WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR USE
OF DRINKING WELCH'S GRAPE JUICE,
WHAT DOES IT BRING TO MIND?
>> GOOD MEMORIES.
>> IT IS HARD FOR ME TO PUT

SCOTLAND AS A KID THINKING ABOUT
