1
00:00:01,034 --> 00:00:02,736
The word SmackDown
has become a show.
2
00:00:02,736 --> 00:00:04,237
It's become an institution.
3
00:00:04,638 --> 00:00:06,539
When a program is
named after one of The Rock's
4
00:00:06,539 --> 00:00:09,075
catchphrases, you know it's
appointment television.
5
00:00:09,075 --> 00:00:12,812
Oh, SmackDown.
6
00:00:12,812 --> 00:00:14,514
And over the years,
SmackDown has been home
7
00:00:14,514 --> 00:00:15,749
to it all.
8
00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:18,785
From the outlandish to the
outstanding.
9
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:21,521
History has been
made here on SmackDown Live.
10
00:00:22,355 --> 00:00:25,025
The blue brand serves
action and excitement
11
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:26,259
each and every week.
12
00:00:26,259 --> 00:00:28,128
What an extraordinary
night it's going to be.
13
00:00:28,128 --> 00:00:30,931
Welcome,
everyone, to SmackDown Live.
14
00:00:31,464 --> 00:00:34,100
Today, we look back at
the second decade of SmackDown.
15
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:35,902
Buckle up,
Teddy.
16
00:00:35,902 --> 00:00:36,803
Oh.
17
00:00:36,937 --> 00:00:39,339
This is WWE's Greatest
Moments.
18
00:00:42,108 --> 00:00:43,343
If you smell-
19
00:00:43,343 --> 00:00:45,545
Oh, my God, what the
hell are you doing?
20
00:00:45,545 --> 00:00:48,114
Absolutely unbelievable.
21
00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:50,784
Hulkamania is
here.
22
00:00:57,591 --> 00:00:59,993
{\an8}Welcome, everyone, to
WWE's Greatest Moments.
23
00:00:59,993 --> 00:01:01,428
{\an8}I'm Michael Cole.
24
00:01:01,428 --> 00:01:03,830
{\an8}And on this edition, we're
looking back at the very best of
25
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:06,867
{\an8}a show that is near and dear to
my heart, SmackDown.
26
00:01:06,867 --> 00:01:08,702
Hey, everybody, at ringside, I'm
Michael Cole.
27
00:01:08,702 --> 00:01:10,003
He's Pat McAfee.
28
00:01:10,170 --> 00:01:12,105
I had the privilege of being the
lead announcer of the blue brand
29
00:01:12,105 --> 00:01:13,306
for many, many years.
30
00:01:13,306 --> 00:01:14,741
Oh.
31
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:17,544
And coming into its second
decade in 2009,
32
00:01:17,544 --> 00:01:19,713
things were raised to a
whole 'nother level.
33
00:01:20,513 --> 00:01:22,949
Shawn Michaels and The
Undertaker were on a collision
34
00:01:22,949 --> 00:01:25,485
course at the historic
WrestleMania 25.
35
00:01:26,419 --> 00:01:30,557
You have never
beaten me.
36
00:01:30,557 --> 00:01:32,225
And you never will.
37
00:01:32,425 --> 00:01:34,394
Despite being two of
the greatest in-ring performers
38
00:01:34,394 --> 00:01:37,364
of all time, the differences of
the two were quite apparent.
39
00:01:38,231 --> 00:01:40,934
Michaels representing the light
and goodness in the world
40
00:01:40,934 --> 00:01:44,037
was the yin to The Undertaker's
yang, dark,
41
00:01:44,037 --> 00:01:45,772
ominous, and terrifying.
42
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:48,174
And in March of 2009, the
Heartbreak Kid did what he
43
00:01:48,174 --> 00:01:50,944
always did better than anyone
else,
44
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:53,546
get under the skin
of the Deadman.
45
00:01:57,984 --> 00:02:01,021
{\an8}The irreverent, defiant
Shawn Michaels
46
00:02:01,021 --> 00:02:02,923
{\an8}is he flirting
with disaster.
47
00:02:04,558 --> 00:02:06,826
That segment
was designed to get
48
00:02:06,826 --> 00:02:08,061
into the head of The Undertaker.
49
00:02:08,862 --> 00:02:12,432
{\an8}And no one better than Shawn
Michaels to do that.
50
00:02:12,999 --> 00:02:16,069
Very rare that we see
someone rent space
51
00:02:16,069 --> 00:02:17,470
in the head of The Undertaker.
52
00:02:18,438 --> 00:02:21,641
{\an8}We leaned into the fact
that Taker had never beaten me.
53
00:02:21,641 --> 00:02:24,811
The man you have never beaten.
54
00:02:25,312 --> 00:02:27,914
You add the heaven and hell
aspect of it,
55
00:02:27,914 --> 00:02:29,115
it was just phenomenal.
56
00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:32,886
The Undertaker represents the
purest form of evil.
57
00:02:34,020 --> 00:02:40,594
He walks amongst the shadows
where I thrive in the spotlight.
58
00:02:41,728 --> 00:02:44,831
When he's
cutting this promo, and-
59
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:46,933
no one's gonna out-mind game
The Undertaker.
60
00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:49,502
Hey.
61
00:02:49,502 --> 00:02:50,470
Oh, what?
62
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:51,871
My God, it's The
Undertaker.
63
00:02:53,540 --> 00:02:54,774
I pop up
through the ring,
64
00:02:54,774 --> 00:02:57,477
so I think I got him
dead to rights.
65
00:02:58,545 --> 00:03:00,146
Michaels going for the
ride.
66
00:03:00,547 --> 00:03:01,514
Oh, my God.
67
00:03:01,514 --> 00:03:02,315
What-
68
00:03:02,315 --> 00:03:03,883
Michaels escaping.
69
00:03:04,985 --> 00:03:07,187
And he still
gets away.
70
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:10,457
Honestly, one of the best promos
I think that he cut.
71
00:03:10,457 --> 00:03:13,860
Not only the visual of the all
white and the meaning behind it,
72
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:16,897
but the ability to get under The
Undertaker's skin
73
00:03:16,897 --> 00:03:18,298
was a huge win for him.
74
00:03:21,301 --> 00:03:23,470
Long-time fans know
the climb that legendary
75
00:03:23,470 --> 00:03:25,238
performer Christian went
through.
76
00:03:25,238 --> 00:03:27,641
From his beginnings as a part of
the menacing Brood
77
00:03:27,641 --> 00:03:29,442
to one half of the tag team
icons
78
00:03:29,442 --> 00:03:30,877
with his best friend,
Edge.
79
00:03:30,877 --> 00:03:32,946
Christian had done it all except
win the big one.
80
00:03:33,313 --> 00:03:35,916
But Extreme Rules 2011, his
dreams became a reality.
81
00:03:36,583 --> 00:03:38,818
Christian is now the
World Champion.
82
00:03:39,586 --> 00:03:43,857
I've been waiting 17
long years to do this.
83
00:03:45,425 --> 00:03:47,093
Just five days later
on SmackDown,
84
00:03:47,093 --> 00:03:49,896
Christian's first challenger
immediately came knocking.
85
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:53,700
Christian versus Randy
Orton
86
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:56,303
for the World Heavyweight
Championship.
87
00:04:01,308 --> 00:04:03,977
{\an8}For Christian, he's
been champion all of five days.
88
00:04:03,977 --> 00:04:06,680
{\an8}He's lived his dream
for five days.
89
00:04:07,547 --> 00:04:08,915
And here we go,
back and forth they
90
00:04:08,915 --> 00:04:10,283
go, champion and challenger.
91
00:04:10,951 --> 00:04:12,319
{\an8}The match with
Christian,
92
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:14,254
{\an8}one of my favorite
opponents ever.
93
00:04:15,555 --> 00:04:17,657
Christian is the
heavyweight champion,
94
00:04:17,657 --> 00:04:20,060
and he don't want
to lose it, dawg.
95
00:04:20,660 --> 00:04:22,629
Orton down, Christian
looking to retain here.
96
00:04:23,396 --> 00:04:25,031
{\an8}Those two together,
you know,
97
00:04:25,031 --> 00:04:26,399
{\an8}it's just a match
made in heaven.
98
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:28,134
Both of those guys really
understand
99
00:04:28,134 --> 00:04:30,704
what the wrestling business
is all about.
100
00:04:30,704 --> 00:04:32,339
Randy Orton is starting
to feel it.
101
00:04:32,672 --> 00:04:33,974
Orton dialing it up.
102
00:04:33,974 --> 00:04:35,308
Randy Orton was the
golden boy.
103
00:04:35,308 --> 00:04:36,343
{\an8}He was the poster boy.
104
00:04:36,343 --> 00:04:38,378
{\an8}He was the guy that to this day
they still want
105
00:04:38,378 --> 00:04:39,713
{\an8}to be the World Champion.
106
00:04:40,180 --> 00:04:40,947
Oh.
107
00:04:40,947 --> 00:04:42,949
Oh, RKO, RKO.
108
00:04:42,949 --> 00:04:44,584
Randy Orton, lateral press.
109
00:04:46,119 --> 00:04:47,187
And we have a new champion.
110
00:04:48,288 --> 00:04:49,589
The Cinderella story
is over.
111
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:54,895
{\an8}It's shocking to see
Christian just have a really
112
00:04:54,895 --> 00:04:56,363
{\an8}short reign, just five days.
113
00:04:57,264 --> 00:04:59,432
{\an8}Big moments like
that will reinforce that you
114
00:04:59,432 --> 00:05:01,668
{\an8}need to watch this show because
115
00:05:01,668 --> 00:05:03,069
you never know what
could happen.
116
00:05:03,703 --> 00:05:06,273
This is what
SmackDown is all about.
117
00:05:06,273 --> 00:05:08,875
Always expect the unexpected.
118
00:05:11,811 --> 00:05:14,214
Four long years of
being away from the squared
119
00:05:14,214 --> 00:05:16,549
circle, "The Animal" Batista
made his much-anticipated
120
00:05:16,549 --> 00:05:18,785
return to WWE in 2014.
121
00:05:19,553 --> 00:05:21,788
The return of the six-time world
champion.
122
00:05:22,422 --> 00:05:24,624
Despite winning the Royal Rumble
in dominant fashion-
123
00:05:25,692 --> 00:05:27,327
Batista's going to
WrestleMania.
124
00:05:27,327 --> 00:05:30,130
Batista was gaining less than
favorable reactions
125
00:05:30,130 --> 00:05:30,997
from the crowd.
126
00:05:32,232 --> 00:05:34,034
Batista went out on SmackDown
and let his animalistic
127
00:05:34,034 --> 00:05:35,201
instincts take over.
128
00:05:39,506 --> 00:05:42,309
{\an8}The WWE fans sure have
not been kind to Batista
129
00:05:42,309 --> 00:05:44,077
{\an8}since he won the Royal
Rumble match last month.
130
00:05:45,745 --> 00:05:48,014
A lot's changed since
my last Royal Rumble win.
131
00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:54,387
Let me start by stating that I
did not come back to be liked.
132
00:05:54,387 --> 00:06:00,627
I came back to be WWE World
Heavyweight Champion.
133
00:06:02,462 --> 00:06:04,097
{\an8}At the end of the day, they want
to be entertained.
134
00:06:04,097 --> 00:06:06,833
{\an8}They want a bad guy they can
boo, and I think I am that guy.
135
00:06:08,168 --> 00:06:13,373
You chant the names of 195-pound
wannabes?
136
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:15,141
I mean, where are all the real
men?
137
00:06:15,141 --> 00:06:16,543
What happened to the attitude?
138
00:06:17,944 --> 00:06:20,547
Now to see guys
who were half his weight come
139
00:06:20,547 --> 00:06:23,416
out there and people are wanting
to see that,
140
00:06:23,416 --> 00:06:25,552
{\an8}he's able to show his
frustration with that.
141
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:28,822
I mean, do you
honestly think that your heroes
142
00:06:28,822 --> 00:06:30,457
are as good as me?
143
00:06:32,425 --> 00:06:36,429
The truth is, no, they will
never be me.
144
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:39,332
{\an8}He's not
really known for being a promo
145
00:06:39,332 --> 00:06:41,868
guy, but here I feel like he
flipped it into another gear.
146
00:06:42,535 --> 00:06:45,705
I will be
systematically destroying each
147
00:06:45,705 --> 00:06:49,075
and every one of your heroes on
my way to become
148
00:06:49,075 --> 00:06:51,578
WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
149
00:06:54,514 --> 00:06:56,349
{\an8}SmackDown's second decade,
h
150
00:06:56,349 --> 00:06:58,151
{\an8}the women's revolution
was in full force.
151
00:06:59,186 --> 00:07:01,021
{\an8}And with that came a brand-new
women's championship.
152
00:07:01,888 --> 00:07:06,393
The first-ever WWE
Women's Championship.
153
00:07:07,294 --> 00:07:09,629
But as our powerful
women always proudly state
154
00:07:09,629 --> 00:07:12,866
to their male counterparts,
anything you can do,
155
00:07:12,866 --> 00:07:14,668
we can do better.
156
00:07:14,668 --> 00:07:16,469
The first-ever women's Hell in a
Cell match.
157
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:20,707
So, in June of 2017, SmackDown
was host to a historic women's
158
00:07:20,707 --> 00:07:23,109
{\an8}Money in the Bank ladder match.
159
00:07:27,113 --> 00:07:28,782
{\an8}This is what
it is all about.
160
00:07:28,782 --> 00:07:31,117
{\an8}The first Money in the
Bank ladder match
161
00:07:31,117 --> 00:07:33,386
ever on SmackDown
Live.
162
00:07:35,055 --> 00:07:36,823
The experience of
being in Money in the Bank
163
00:07:36,823 --> 00:07:39,459
{\an8}was just awesome.
164
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:41,795
Nobody had seen women have a
ladder match
165
00:07:41,795 --> 00:07:43,897
before on SmackDown Live.
166
00:07:43,897 --> 00:07:46,132
Five women will battle for
the Money in the Bank contract.
167
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:49,102
Not wasting any
time.
168
00:07:49,502 --> 00:07:50,370
{\an8}I'm not going to lie,
169
00:07:50,370 --> 00:07:52,272
{\an8}I was so scared for
this ladder match.
170
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,341
Oh.
171
00:07:54,341 --> 00:07:56,276
Oh, face first.
172
00:07:56,610 --> 00:07:57,911
Oh, and a boot to the ladder.
173
00:07:59,179 --> 00:08:01,081
{\an8}None of us had any
experience with ladders.
174
00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:03,216
Whoa, oh.
175
00:08:03,216 --> 00:08:04,951
Oh, my God, geez.
176
00:08:04,951 --> 00:08:06,419
Those ladders hurt.
177
00:08:06,786 --> 00:08:08,388
Oh, good grief.
178
00:08:08,388 --> 00:08:09,756
{\an8}When did you
ever think that women were going
179
00:08:09,756 --> 00:08:11,224
{\an8}to be jumping off ladders?
180
00:08:11,992 --> 00:08:13,426
Becky Lynch has her
opportunity.
181
00:08:14,394 --> 00:08:15,896
Oh, and a steel chair.
182
00:08:17,964 --> 00:08:20,734
Carmella using any means
necessary.
183
00:08:22,269 --> 00:08:23,270
There you have it.
184
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:25,205
Miss Money in the Bank.
185
00:08:26,139 --> 00:08:27,207
It was so surreal.
186
00:08:27,207 --> 00:08:28,408
I still don't believe it.
187
00:08:29,142 --> 00:08:31,511
I'm going to go down in history
because I was the first-ever
188
00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:32,512
Miss Money in the Bank.
189
00:08:33,914 --> 00:08:37,551
History has been made
here on SmackDown Live.
190
00:08:38,785 --> 00:08:39,986
CM Punk is no
stranger to memorable moments
191
00:08:39,986 --> 00:08:41,788
in WWE history.
192
00:08:42,622 --> 00:08:44,424
As he says, he's the best in the
world
193
00:08:44,424 --> 00:08:45,759
and makes sure that
everyone knows it.
194
00:08:46,459 --> 00:08:49,863
In 2010, Punk was more of a
bragger than ever before,
195
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:52,399
claiming that his straight-edge
lifestyle was the only way to
196
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:55,468
live, and vowed to be the savior
of those looking for a change.
197
00:08:56,102 --> 00:08:57,904
The youth of today
will come together
198
00:08:57,904 --> 00:09:01,975
as one straight-edge society.
199
00:09:02,943 --> 00:09:04,811
One particular
instance saw a woman named
200
00:09:04,811 --> 00:09:08,281
Serena pleading to be cleansed
of her sins.
201
00:09:11,818 --> 00:09:14,154
{\an8}We are
straight edge.
202
00:09:14,855 --> 00:09:17,490
{\an8}CM Punk was always
known as being straight edge,
203
00:09:17,490 --> 00:09:21,261
{\an8}which meant that he didn't
smoke, drink, or do drugs.
204
00:09:21,995 --> 00:09:25,465
But I know that I can
wash away all your problems,
205
00:09:25,465 --> 00:09:31,872
and I, and only I, can save each
and every last one of you.
206
00:09:32,939 --> 00:09:34,207
At this
point,
207
00:09:34,207 --> 00:09:35,408
he started the
Straight Edge Society,
208
00:09:35,408 --> 00:09:36,943
which took those ideals but
formed
209
00:09:36,943 --> 00:09:40,113
them into a kind of a hybrid
religious cult.
210
00:09:41,014 --> 00:09:43,750
Who is sick of
living--
211
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:45,719
Whoa, whoa.
212
00:09:45,719 --> 00:09:49,389
{\an8}Here was a girl who
was the hardest-working person
213
00:09:49,389 --> 00:09:51,458
at the OVW amateur class.
214
00:09:51,458 --> 00:09:52,526
I need you.
215
00:09:52,526 --> 00:09:54,227
This young lady needs
me.
216
00:09:54,227 --> 00:09:55,262
I can tell.
217
00:09:55,262 --> 00:09:56,630
She did everything she needed to
do to get hired.
218
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:57,898
What's your name?
219
00:09:57,898 --> 00:10:00,934
Serena.
220
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:03,036
Are you ready to
pledge allegiance to me and my
221
00:10:03,036 --> 00:10:04,638
Straight Edge Society?
222
00:10:04,638 --> 00:10:05,972
I'm ready.
223
00:10:05,972 --> 00:10:07,340
I've been ready.
224
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:08,608
I needed to strike a
nerve.
225
00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:11,344
I needed somebody to really go
out of their comfort zone.
226
00:10:11,344 --> 00:10:13,213
I'm gonna shave her head.
227
00:10:14,314 --> 00:10:15,749
This is symbolic
in the Straight Edge Society of
228
00:10:15,749 --> 00:10:17,183
shedding your iniquities.
229
00:10:17,984 --> 00:10:20,353
{\an8}That was
unbelievable.
230
00:10:20,353 --> 00:10:22,989
I mean, the audience, just look
at some of their faces
231
00:10:22,989 --> 00:10:24,824
while that was going on.
232
00:10:25,292 --> 00:10:27,827
Here's a pretty girl,
who's a hell of an athlete,
233
00:10:27,827 --> 00:10:30,597
great wrestler, and she shaved
her head.
234
00:10:30,597 --> 00:10:31,531
It was pretty wild.
235
00:10:31,932 --> 00:10:34,901
I give you Serena, the newest
member
236
00:10:34,901 --> 00:10:38,271
of my Straight Edge Society.
237
00:10:41,374 --> 00:10:42,709
derived from the most(n
238
00:10:42,709 --> 00:10:45,579
electrifying man in Sports
Entertainment, The Rock.
239
00:10:46,313 --> 00:10:50,383
You two jabronis
decided to check both your candy
240
00:10:50,383 --> 00:10:52,652
asses into the SmackDown hotel.
241
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:55,956
The Great One had some
of the most iconic moments
242
00:10:55,956 --> 00:10:58,391
in the history of
the blue brand.
243
00:10:58,391 --> 00:11:00,794
And after several years away
from the squared circle,
244
00:11:00,794 --> 00:11:04,064
The Rock returned home in
January 2013
245
00:11:04,064 --> 00:11:06,833
to the delight of
almost everyone.
246
00:11:09,536 --> 00:11:11,071
{\an8}It's a
special night.
247
00:11:11,071 --> 00:11:13,707
{\an8}The Rock is back on his show
tonight
248
00:11:13,707 --> 00:11:17,310
in front of his hometown,
SmackDown.
249
00:11:18,845 --> 00:11:20,814
The Rock would
make his triumphant return.
250
00:11:21,548 --> 00:11:24,317
{\an8}It was an incredible reaction.
251
00:11:30,223 --> 00:11:31,191
You wanna make a
name for yourself?
252
00:11:31,191 --> 00:11:32,526
Interrupt The Rock.
253
00:11:32,526 --> 00:11:34,861
{\an8}Obviously, somebody
has to be there to ruin the
254
00:11:34,861 --> 00:11:36,663
{\an8}party, otherwise it wouldn't be
wrestling.
255
00:11:37,230 --> 00:11:40,867
Why don't you get
out of this ring before you
256
00:11:40,867 --> 00:11:43,036
don't have any choice?
257
00:11:43,503 --> 00:11:44,604
I just gotta say
something.
258
00:11:44,604 --> 00:11:47,607
I mean, sweet tap-dancing Jesus,
what is on your face?
259
00:11:48,141 --> 00:11:50,110
{\an8}I don't think anyone's
excited if you're gonna find out
260
00:11:50,110 --> 00:11:51,978
{\an8}that The Rock is gonna rip you
to shreds,
261
00:11:51,978 --> 00:11:53,580
'cause he will rip
you to shreds.
262
00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:55,015
He'll go for it.
263
00:11:55,015 --> 00:11:56,449
And speaking of
which, you know, just like your
264
00:11:56,449 --> 00:11:59,986
19th-century beard, your big
buggy eyes, it looks like what
265
00:11:59,986 --> 00:12:02,589
would happen if Abe Lincoln got
busy with a gremlin.
266
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:05,158
Look at Lillian,
she's afraid.
267
00:12:05,158 --> 00:12:06,226
Don't worry, Lillian.
268
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:08,161
If he gets near you, I will slap
that caterpillar
269
00:12:08,161 --> 00:12:09,462
right into the eighth row.
270
00:12:09,462 --> 00:12:10,664
Silence.
271
00:12:11,064 --> 00:12:12,332
{\an8}He'd be in the
middle of something,
272
00:12:12,332 --> 00:12:14,534
{\an8}and then he'd call me out, and
immediately I'm, like, blushing.
273
00:12:14,534 --> 00:12:16,836
{\an8}And, uh, the fans would eat it
up.
274
00:12:16,836 --> 00:12:20,473
But to see how he captivated the
audience was so much fun.
275
00:12:21,508 --> 00:12:23,977
Coming back like
this, the best part about it was
276
00:12:23,977 --> 00:12:26,179
the connection with the
audience.
277
00:12:26,713 --> 00:12:29,382
And a People's Elbow for
Cody Rhodes.
278
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:33,753
{\an8}And to watch them
respond the way they did
279
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:35,188
was very, very special.
280
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:42,095
If you smell what The Rock is
cooking.
281
00:12:44,864 --> 00:12:46,967
{\an8}They say don't bite
off more than you can chew.
282
00:12:46,967 --> 00:12:50,904
{\an8}And in 2017, the WWE Champion
found that out the hard way.
283
00:12:50,904 --> 00:12:54,140
Jinder Mahal shocked the
wrestling world when he defeated
284
00:12:54,140 --> 00:12:56,943
Randy Orton for the WWE
Championship.
285
00:12:56,943 --> 00:12:59,713
I am the most
powerful man
286
00:12:59,713 --> 00:13:03,583
in the entire WWE.
287
00:13:03,583 --> 00:13:05,652
But is it better to be
arrogant or phenomenal?
288
00:13:06,853 --> 00:13:09,222
SmackDown emanated from
Manchester, England.
289
00:13:09,222 --> 00:13:12,859
AJ Styles challenged Jinder
Mahal for the WWE Championship.
290
00:13:13,894 --> 00:13:16,263
A title that had never changed
hands outside North America.
291
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:19,065
But never say never.
292
00:13:19,065 --> 00:13:20,200
Right?
293
00:13:22,102 --> 00:13:24,104
{\an8}Here we go,
Manchester.
294
00:13:24,104 --> 00:13:26,773
{\an8}Welcome to
SmackDown Live.
295
00:13:26,773 --> 00:13:28,575
{\an8}That was a very
interesting match.
296
00:13:28,575 --> 00:13:32,178
{\an8}The crowd was very pro-AJ
Styles.
297
00:13:32,178 --> 00:13:35,582
It is all about the most
prestigious prize
298
00:13:35,582 --> 00:13:36,783
in Sports Entertainment.
299
00:13:36,783 --> 00:13:37,984
(crowd chants "AJ Styles}
300
00:13:37,984 --> 00:13:39,019
WWE Universe
here in Manchester
301
00:13:39,019 --> 00:13:40,420
solidly behind AJ
Styles.
302
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:42,856
{\an8}I've wrestled in
Manchester before.
303
00:13:42,856 --> 00:13:45,458
These fans are always amazing.
304
00:13:45,458 --> 00:13:47,627
Khallas, Khallas.
305
00:13:47,627 --> 00:13:49,029
Planning Styles.
306
00:13:49,029 --> 00:13:50,630
The cover.
307
00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:52,699
One, two--
308
00:13:52,699 --> 00:13:53,300
Oh.
309
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:54,201
No, no, no, no.
310
00:13:54,301 --> 00:13:55,702
Styles got his foot on the
rope.
311
00:13:55,702 --> 00:13:57,270
Jinder is beside
himself.
312
00:13:57,270 --> 00:13:58,939
This place is rocking.
313
00:13:59,906 --> 00:14:01,508
The WWE Universe,
the more excited they are,
314
00:14:01,508 --> 00:14:04,144
the more energy that you have.
315
00:14:04,144 --> 00:14:06,947
And it sounds crazy, but it--
that's how it works.
316
00:14:06,947 --> 00:14:08,582
I feed off the energy.
317
00:14:09,149 --> 00:14:10,617
Eyes on the champion here.
318
00:14:10,617 --> 00:14:12,185
AJ Styles.
319
00:14:12,185 --> 00:14:14,855
Phenomenal Forearm.
320
00:14:18,658 --> 00:14:19,993
Styles has done it again.
321
00:14:21,461 --> 00:14:25,365
For the first time in history,
the WWE Championship
322
00:14:25,365 --> 00:14:28,268
has changed hands outside
of North America.
323
00:14:31,071 --> 00:14:32,272
I was very proud of
that match,
324
00:14:32,272 --> 00:14:33,607
and the fans were unbelievable.
325
00:14:33,607 --> 00:14:35,041
The reaction was unbelievable.
326
00:14:35,041 --> 00:14:36,076
I loved it.
327
00:14:39,512 --> 00:14:41,014
One of the all-time
greatest performers
328
00:14:41,014 --> 00:14:42,849
in WWE history is-
329
00:14:42,849 --> 00:14:46,586
The Rated-R Superstar
himself, Edge.
330
00:14:46,586 --> 00:14:49,189
His accomplishments
are second to none.
331
00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:52,192
Tag Team Champion,
Intercontinental Champion,
332
00:14:52,192 --> 00:14:54,394
King of the Ring, Royal Rumble
winner-
333
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:56,096
Oh.
334
00:14:56,096 --> 00:14:57,030
Edge has done it.
335
00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:57,964
Edge has done it.
336
00:14:57,964 --> 00:14:59,032
World Champion.
337
00:14:59,032 --> 00:15:01,268
And Edge retains his
championship.
338
00:15:01,268 --> 00:15:03,169
But just days after
his successful
339
00:15:03,169 --> 00:15:06,172
World Championship defense at
WrestleMania XXVII,
340
00:15:06,172 --> 00:15:10,243
Edge made an announcement that
none of us were prepared for.
341
00:15:15,348 --> 00:15:16,449
{\an8}Rumors have been
swirling,
342
00:15:16,449 --> 00:15:18,618
{\an8}the 11-time World Champion
has an announcement
343
00:15:18,618 --> 00:15:22,188
to make that will shock
the entire WWE Universe.
344
00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:25,525
It's all on
SmackDown,
345
00:15:25,525 --> 00:15:29,663
{\an8}and I basically just went out
and talked as Adam.
346
00:15:30,630 --> 00:15:32,866
Eight years ago, I-I broke my
neck.
347
00:15:33,333 --> 00:15:35,068
I've been losing feeling in my
arms.
348
00:15:35,535 --> 00:15:38,505
And it's true, I am, uh, being
forced to retire.
349
00:15:40,874 --> 00:15:42,676
{\an8}As a personal
friend,
350
00:15:42,676 --> 00:15:43,877
{\an8}I know it was very,
very tough for him.
351
00:15:44,811 --> 00:15:47,747
A lot of people are-are
sad and disappointed that my-my
352
00:15:47,747 --> 00:15:49,549
career is forced to come to an
end.
353
00:15:49,983 --> 00:15:53,386
{\an8}I watched
Edge's retirement, and I cried.
354
00:15:54,187 --> 00:15:58,024
I cried because I felt for Adam
Copeland, the human being,
355
00:15:58,024 --> 00:16:01,928
and as a fan, I cried that I'm
not gonna get Edge anymore.
356
00:16:01,928 --> 00:16:03,230
But you know what?
357
00:16:03,230 --> 00:16:05,298
I think- I think everybody's
actually happy and very positive
358
00:16:05,298 --> 00:16:08,869
the WWE and our-our team of
doctors caught this
359
00:16:08,869 --> 00:16:10,036
before I was in a ladder
match,
360
00:16:10,036 --> 00:16:11,905
and I landed and
couldn't get up.
361
00:16:13,340 --> 00:16:14,874
It doesn't matter how
much you want this.
362
00:16:15,175 --> 00:16:17,544
{\an8}Being able to get up and walk
around is more important.
363
00:16:18,545 --> 00:16:20,914
But now it's time for me
to-to come out here
364
00:16:20,914 --> 00:16:22,182
and do what I--
what I have to do.
365
00:16:23,783 --> 00:16:25,619
{\an8}Having to
relinquish the title
366
00:16:25,619 --> 00:16:27,854
and have to walk away from it, I
mean, how devastating.
367
00:16:28,755 --> 00:16:30,357
It's been one hell of a
ride.
368
00:16:31,324 --> 00:16:32,926
Thank you.
369
00:16:32,926 --> 00:16:34,160
Thank you very much.
370
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:38,331
l
371
00:16:38,331 --> 00:16:41,468
rivalries in SmackDown's history
is unquestionably
372
00:16:41,468 --> 00:16:43,336
between CM Punk and Jeff Hardy.
373
00:16:43,336 --> 00:16:46,039
You're all slaves to
Jeff Hardy.
374
00:16:47,507 --> 00:16:49,175
You couldn't find more
polar opposites than these two.
375
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,578
Jeff Hardy battled many demons
in his life,
376
00:16:51,578 --> 00:16:53,980
and CM Punk was not one to hold
back on judgment.
377
00:16:54,581 --> 00:16:57,417
It's typical of Jeff
to screw everything up in his
378
00:16:57,417 --> 00:16:59,219
life like he always has.
379
00:16:59,219 --> 00:17:01,388
It was clear that WWE
wasn't big enough
380
00:17:01,388 --> 00:17:02,722
for both of them.
381
00:17:02,822 --> 00:17:05,592
An unforgiving steel cage match
was made where the loser would
382
00:17:05,592 --> 00:17:08,428
be forced to leave WWE.
383
00:17:11,498 --> 00:17:12,899
{\an8}World titles are big
enough,
384
00:17:12,899 --> 00:17:15,302
{\an8}but careers perhaps
are even bigger.
385
00:17:15,302 --> 00:17:18,171
{\an8}The loser of this match tonight
leaves WWE.
386
00:17:18,905 --> 00:17:20,540
{\an8}Being in a cage,
man, with a match like this,
387
00:17:20,540 --> 00:17:22,809
naturally, we-we wanted to raise
the bar
388
00:17:22,809 --> 00:17:24,544
like we always did back then.
389
00:17:24,544 --> 00:17:25,979
Punk from behind.
390
00:17:26,513 --> 00:17:28,548
This is par for the course for
CM Punk.
391
00:17:30,450 --> 00:17:32,018
{\an8}I'm trying to kill
Jeff Hardy.
392
00:17:32,018 --> 00:17:33,220
He's like a cockroach, though.
393
00:17:33,220 --> 00:17:34,354
Hard to kill.
394
00:17:34,821 --> 00:17:36,223
A whisper in the wind by
Jeff Hardy.
395
00:17:36,223 --> 00:17:38,158
Hardy could go to sleep.
396
00:17:38,158 --> 00:17:39,826
No, he counters.
397
00:17:39,826 --> 00:17:41,595
It's a Twist of Fate.
398
00:17:41,895 --> 00:17:44,664
Hardy known for his passion, his
desire, his recklessness.
399
00:17:45,131 --> 00:17:48,268
It's a daunting task
to know I have to beat this guy,
400
00:17:48,268 --> 00:17:50,704
and it's probably going to take
years off of my career, and
401
00:17:50,704 --> 00:17:52,772
that's the only way to
accomplish the goal.
402
00:17:52,772 --> 00:17:53,974
It's a big ask.
403
00:17:54,307 --> 00:17:55,809
No.
Oh.
404
00:17:55,809 --> 00:17:56,676
No.
405
00:17:56,676 --> 00:17:58,278
A superplex.
406
00:17:59,512 --> 00:18:01,147
Punk is the winner.
407
00:18:02,716 --> 00:18:04,484
It was too late for Jeff
Hardy,
408
00:18:04,484 --> 00:18:07,787
as CM Punk escapes the cage,
retains the world title.
409
00:18:09,089 --> 00:18:11,391
The idea that I may
never go back to WWE,
410
00:18:11,391 --> 00:18:14,194
that was just, uh, overwhelming.
411
00:18:14,194 --> 00:18:15,428
But it's-it's pro wrestling, man.
412
00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:17,063
Anything's possible, and
anything can happen.
413
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:19,766
This is not goodbye
forever.
414
00:18:19,766 --> 00:18:22,035
This is only goodbye for now.
415
00:18:23,904 --> 00:18:25,939
{\an8}As we've seen,
SmackDown has been the home
416
00:18:25,939 --> 00:18:28,475
{\an8}to so many memorable
moments in WWE history.
417
00:18:28,475 --> 00:18:31,912
One of the most shocking,
however, came in May of 2007.
418
00:18:31,912 --> 00:18:34,915
The Undertaker held tightly to
the coveted
419
00:18:34,915 --> 00:18:36,016
World Heavyweight Championship.
420
00:18:36,016 --> 00:18:39,586
You will rest
in peace.
421
00:18:40,820 --> 00:18:42,455
After a brutal steel
cage match,
422
00:18:42,455 --> 00:18:44,024
The Undertaker was assaulted
423
00:18:44,024 --> 00:18:46,393
by "The World's Strongest
Man" Mark Henry.
424
00:18:46,393 --> 00:18:49,262
The World's Strongest Man
assaulting the champion.
425
00:18:49,262 --> 00:18:51,064
With the World Champion out for
the count,
426
00:18:51,064 --> 00:18:53,100
nobody could have predicted what
would come next.
427
00:18:56,903 --> 00:18:58,872
{\an8}The Undertaker had
nothing left.
428
00:19:01,308 --> 00:19:02,075
No.
429
00:19:02,075 --> 00:19:02,909
Come on, Edge.
430
00:19:02,909 --> 00:19:04,411
No, not this way.
431
00:19:04,411 --> 00:19:07,347
What a perfect
time to cash in.
432
00:19:07,347 --> 00:19:08,748
{\an8}I've already had a cage match.
433
00:19:08,748 --> 00:19:10,050
{\an8}I've run into Mark Henry.
434
00:19:10,517 --> 00:19:12,252
Please tell me this is
not happening.
435
00:19:12,252 --> 00:19:16,656
{\an8}As the dastardly,
conniving, manipulative Edge,
436
00:19:16,656 --> 00:19:20,493
{\an8}why wouldn't he wait until after
the champion has been through
437
00:19:20,493 --> 00:19:23,063
an absolute war to cash it in?
438
00:19:23,930 --> 00:19:24,898
The referee is
disgusted.
439
00:19:24,898 --> 00:19:25,899
I'm disgusted.
440
00:19:25,899 --> 00:19:26,933
Here's the cover.
441
00:19:26,933 --> 00:19:27,868
Hook of the leg.
442
00:19:27,868 --> 00:19:29,402
And Undertaker kicked out.
443
00:19:29,402 --> 00:19:30,904
Come on, Taker.
444
00:19:30,904 --> 00:19:31,938
And Undertaker.
445
00:19:31,938 --> 00:19:32,872
You're kidding me.
446
00:19:32,872 --> 00:19:34,374
The beaten Undertaker.
447
00:19:34,374 --> 00:19:36,309
Undertaker tried to sit up.
448
00:19:36,309 --> 00:19:37,777
He couldn't quite do it.
449
00:19:38,178 --> 00:19:40,013
Incredible
moment for Edge
450
00:19:40,013 --> 00:19:43,984
in-in his bad guy persona to
come and pick the bones.
451
00:19:43,984 --> 00:19:45,986
It was perfect for his
character.
452
00:19:46,553 --> 00:19:47,754
Spear.
453
00:19:47,754 --> 00:19:49,823
The cover.
454
00:19:49,823 --> 00:19:51,625
Not this way.
455
00:19:52,225 --> 00:19:53,627
Damn it.
456
00:19:53,927 --> 00:19:55,829
{\an8}To see him cash in
against The Undertaker
457
00:19:55,829 --> 00:19:58,865
on free television, it was very
shocking.
458
00:19:58,865 --> 00:20:01,234
You know, regardless of who
you're supporting, to see the
459
00:20:01,234 --> 00:20:04,170
world title change hands on
SmackDown
460
00:20:04,170 --> 00:20:06,139
it's always special when
that happens.
461
00:20:06,139 --> 00:20:07,307
Damn it.
462
00:20:07,307 --> 00:20:08,275
This is Friday Night
SmackDown, Michael.
463
00:20:08,275 --> 00:20:09,309
Anything can happen.
464
00:20:10,176 --> 00:20:12,345
Edge steals the title.
465
00:20:14,581 --> 00:20:16,416
The blue brand
was and continues to be the
466
00:20:16,416 --> 00:20:18,552
destination of some of the
greatest stars in professional
467
00:20:18,552 --> 00:20:21,721
{\an8}wrestling, with countless
matches and memories that fans
468
00:20:21,721 --> 00:20:23,823
{\an8}remember for a lifetime.
469
00:20:23,823 --> 00:20:24,891
{\an8}Well, that'll do it for this
edition
470
00:20:24,891 --> 00:20:26,927
{\an8}of WWE's Greatest Moments.
471
00:20:26,927 --> 00:20:29,462
{\an8}I hope you've enjoyed this look
back at the jaw-dropping
472
00:20:29,462 --> 00:20:33,066
{\an8}memories that came with the
second decade of SmackDown.
