Randy Orton Segment 

Randy Orton: Hey, so, Philly, a lot of crazy stuff has happened since I’ve been gone, right? I mean, just look at the last week or so. For as long as I could remember, ever since I started in this business, John Cena has always been on the top of the profession, and now he’s just a bottom for Rock. I guess that gives a whole new meaning to the term, Rock Bottom, doesn’t it, John? But I digress, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Friday Night SmackDown. Now, I bring up John, you know, he’s one of the few friends I’ve had in the business. Our careers have paralleled each other, and we got a lot in common. That’s a short list of people that I was friends with and had something in common with. One of those people on that short list is also Kevin Owens. Now, Kevin and I, we got a lot in common. We’ve both done vile things to get the job done. We’ve both crossed the line, pushed the envelope, time and time, again. But it was always to get the job done, it was always in the name of business. You see, guys, Kevin Owens, the wrestler, I respect. His story on how he got here, how he busted his ass to get to the WWE, it’s really quite admirable when you think about it. You could say that I admire, Kevin Owens, the wrestler. But it’s Kevin Owens, the man, that I have a problem with.

Now, there’s a quote out there, I’m going to butcher it, but I’m going to try and deliver it here as verbatim as possible. It goes, never underestimate a jealous man’s ability to destroy another man. If you ask me, that’s Kevin Owens to the tee. Kevin Owens veins runs with jealousy. Case and point, look at Cody Rhodes. Kevin Owens dropped Cody Rhodes on his head with a Package PileDriver. Kevin Owens would tell you, he tried to end Cody’s career, because Cody simply chose Roman Reigns as a tag team partner, but that’s not why. Kevin Owens tried to end Cody’s career, because Kevin Owens was jealous of the gold around Cody’s waist. Sami Zayn. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, the fought tooth and nail long before they made it to the WWE. Back and forth, but they would always come full circle, always become friends, again. But at the Elimination Chamber, Kevin Owens attempted to drop Sami Zayn on his head, for a second time, this time on the concrete. Kevin will have you believe that he did that, because Sami Zayn simply helped Roman Reigns to his feet at the Royal Rumble, but that’s not why. Kevin Owens tried to end Sami Zayn’s career, because Sami Zayn has slowly, but surely become a bigger star than Kevin Owens. That short list I talked about earlier, that Kevin Owens was on, he was my friend at one time, and he dropped me on my head with a PileDriver, an illegal move for as long as I’ve been here, simply because I was trying to protect my friend. What does Kevin Owens have to be jealous about? He’s won every single title in the WWE, every single title. If you asked any of the guys or gals in the locker room what their one goal, if they only had one, one goal they would have in this company, it would be to main event WrestleMania. Kevin Owens did that, not once, but he did it twice, and one those times, his opponent was arguably the greatest superstar in the history of the WWE, the history of professional wrestling. His opponent at WrestleMania, in the main event, was Stone Cold Steve Austin. What does Kevin Owens have to be jealous about? He’s never satisfied, enough is never enough.

A year and a half ago, I had a spinal fusion, and I was told that was a career ending surgery, a career ending injury. Doctor after doctor told me that was it, hang up the boots, you’re done, your in-ring career is over, but I wouldn’t take no for an answer. I busted my ass to come back. But I told myself, Randy, don’t let anything upset you in that ring, don’t take one second performing in front of these lovely people for gratitude, don’t let anything piss you off. But guess what? Kevin Owens, you done pissed me off. So, last week at The Chamber, when I came out to save Sami Zayn from getting a career ending PileDriver on the concrete, I ran into the ring, and I RKO’d Kevin Owens, and he laid right about here. And as I looked down at Kevin, I thought to myself, man, what is this feeling coming over me? Normally, that would be all that I needed to do to be satisfied, to fill the urge. I would’ve been happy, that would’ve been it, cased closed, see you next week. But no, something came over that I haven’t felt for a decade, decade in a half, I liked it, I liked it. And you know what it was? The voices started talking to me, again. And those voices, they told me to back up, measure my mark, and kick Kevin Owens in the head so freaking hard that even his closest family members wouldn’t be able to recognize his face. Listen, Kevin Owens, listen to me when I say. As a matter of fact, WWE Universe, listen to me, the entire world, listen to me when I say, I’m going to prove in short order that Pat McAfee is only the second greatest punter in the WWE.

– Chelsea Green interrupted Tiffany Stratton’s conversation with Nick Aldis. It’s blasphemous that she’s been forced to defend her championship in a Street Fight. Chelsea hopes that Tiffany apologizes for ruining her Canadian homecoming. Tiffany says that Chelsea should exercise her right to be silent for once. Tiffany has a great idea and she challenges Piper to a match. Nick says that Piper doesn’t work for Chelsea, she works for the WWE. Nick likes Tiffany’s idea, and he makes the match official.

Bianca BelAir, Naomi, Jade Cargill Segment 

Bianca BelAir: You know, I should really feel like I’m on top of the world, right now, after winning the Elimination Chamber. And I should really focus on going to WrestleMania, but it’s really hard to do that when two of your friends are fighting. You know, I formed a bond with both of these women. Jade and I, we elevated the tag team division together, and Naomi, she stepped in, so all that hard work wouldn’t go to waste. And Naomi, we were close before, but once we formed that tag team, I could honestly say that she became my best friend. So, no, no, no, I do not believe that Naomi would do something like that. I know, but then again, I’m so confused, I feel like I’m literally going crazy, and now I’m being accused, so I need some answers. Naomi is not texting me back. Jade is not talking to me. I feel like I’m losing both of my friends. So, Naomi, I know you’re back there, and I need you to come out here, and give me some answers, right now. Naomi, what in the hell is going on?

Naomi: BB, this is not at all what it looks like, and I need you to lock in with me, and I need you to understand what I’m about to say. I’m going to ask you this. When Jade couldn’t compete, who stepped up, who had your back, and who made sure you didn’t have to relinquish those tag team titles?

Bianca BelAir: Naomi, stop, stop. Did you attack Jade?

Naomi: B, all of this outside noise is nothing but distraction from what you and I really need to be focused on, which is getting our tag team titles back from Liv and Raquel, and you focusing on WrestleMania, that’s it.

Bianca BelAir: Naomi, stop, because you’re talking about everything else other than what we are here for. We are here for Jade. Jade, that’s what we’re here for. Stop talking about everything else, it is about Jade, right now.

Naomi: Jade, Jade, Jade, Jade, Jade. You really want to know how I feel about Jade?

Bianca BelAir: I do, that’s why I’m asking.

Naomi: Alright, I’m going to tell you, and I never said this before, B, because I didn’t want to be messy, and I didn’t want to hurt her little feelings. But the truth is, the way I see Jade, I feel like she’s been piggy backing off on you, the entire time. That is my truth, and I have been forced to watch someone like Jade succeed off of your excellence, off of your experience, off of your hard work. while I was left, pushed to the side to fight for myself, every match. And I didn’t say a word. I let y’all get your flowers. I let y’all be great. And I was proud of y’all, and I didn’t say a freaking word, but deep down, that’s the way I feel. And no, I don’t give a damn about Jade, because she didn’t give a damn about Bianca.

Bianca BelAir: Stop, stop, Naomi, stop. I do want the truth, I want the truth, but I’m telling you right now, you’re really starting to piss me off talking about everything else instead of the truth. Stop. Stop. It’s very simple, it is a yes or it is a no, and I need you to tell me right now, because I’ll walk out of this ring, and you will never hear from me again. So, tell me, right now.

Naomi: I did it. There you go, B, I did it. Yeah, I did it. I did it for you, I did it for us. It was always supposed to be me and you.

Bianca BelAir: This whole time? No, no, no. Don’t touch me. You really want to know why this hurts so bad? It’s because how much I love you. Don’t say nothing else to me, you’ve said enough, I can’t even look at you right now. So, this, me and you, we’re done.

Naomi: Why, because of her? B, come talk to me. Please don’t go away. B, I’m sorry. B! B, I did this for you, you just don’t understand that, right now. B, B, don’t walk out on me. You know why you wanted the truth? The truth is, I should’ve pushed her harder. Every time I started to clocked in and stand up for myself, all of y’all turn on me. That’s exactly what you’re doing, Bianca, you ungrateful bitch.

– Byron Saxton had a backstage interview with Drew McIntyre. Some people are saying that Drew’s attack on Damian Priest was unprovoked. Drew was not shocked by what John Cena did at the Elimination Chamber. He would’ve saved the WWE Universe from getting their hearts broken if it wasn’t for Priest stealing the victory from behind and costing him his last shot at the WWE Title at WrestleMania. Provoked? Drew says that’s well deserved. We’re on the road to WrestleMania, and because of Priest, Drew has nothing. He has nothing to give, but violence, and it starts with the black sheep of the family.

– Congrats to Lex Luger who’s the latest addition to the 2025 WWE Hall Of Fame.

– Byron Saxton had a backstage interview with Charlotte Flair. Why did Charlotte decide to ambush Tiffany Stratton after her match? She warned Tiffy that, after the fun and games were over, she was going to be everywhere she was. It’s Tiffy’s fault that she doesn’t listen. It seems like the division has become soft for a threat like Charlotte Flair. Here’s the thing, every time Charlotte comes back, she has to remind people that there are levels to what they do. B-Fab takes exception to Charlotte’s soft comment. No one compares to The Queen. B-Fab says that nobody is interested in bowing down to Charlotte anymore. Charlotte responds by saying, sooner or later, they all bow down to The Queen. Charlotte challenges B-Fab to a match next week in Barcelona, Spain.

The man who cost him the United States Championship is now out of the picture. No distractions. That means, tonight, one moment, one time. It’ll take one BFT to send Nakamura back to factory settings. That one moment is LA Knight standing in the birthplace of the United States and the rebirth of his United States Championship Title Reign. He’s stood tall against the sneak attacks, and red mist.

Nick schedules a match with Randy Orton and Carmelo Hayes next week in Barcelona, Spain. Randy tells Melo to not fumble the bag next week.

Cody Rhodes Segment 

Cody Rhodes: So, Philadelphia, City Of Champions, what do we want to talk about? You know, the obvious question with an obvious answer, it’s the most watched moment in WWE history and pro wrestling history. And there I am, laying on the bottom, tasting my own blood. What do you say to a little one, not even four years old, when she looks up at you and says, Papa, what happened to your face? It’s not a conversation I was prepared to have. So, I told her what I could only classify as a Cody lie, I told her that I ran into a wall. It’s not entirely untrue, I did run into a wall, a wall designed by “The Final Boss” The Rock, his associate, Travis Scott, and by my WrestleMania 41 opponent, John Cena. You know, I drove John around for two years, from show to show, from city to city, all I was trying to do was sponge off every bit of knowledge that I possibly could. I felt about John how many people here felt about John. He was a hero. So, one day I’ll tell her what actually happened. I’ll there that a great man, who did great things, who was my model in this sport, who is the very definition of the word virtuous, the man who used to the ring with a t-shirt, and emblazon the slogan, never gave up.

I’ll tell her that he gave up. I apologize for any language you might have heard. I’m doing everything I can to maintain my composure in this moment. John, if you don’t owe it to me, I believe you owe it to them, we all would love to know why. Why? And if I know my old friend, John Cena, well, I’m sure it’ll be a very smooth, well educated, well-crafted retort. A signature amount of phrases, he’ll probably say, fine speech at some point in there. And when he’s done talking, he will feel bullet proof, he will feel infallible, he will feel justified. There’s no justification for you, John Cena. I am well aware, I’m talking to the whole world, right now. However, for those in this room, tonight, I don’t know if you know this story, you might have heard it from me in an interview at some point in the past. This was the one place that my old man was afraid to perform in. He even one time painted his face like The Road Warriors, so that he knew he was cool, so that you knew you could cheer for him. I never shared that same that same fear, because for reasons unknown, one time, mustache on my face, climbing up a ladder for the Money In The Bank Briefcase, for reasons unknown, you cheered for me, you chose me, you saddled up and you rode with me.

I never forgot it, and then last year, WrestleMania 40, just across the street, trying to finish a story that started in the 70’s, you cheered for me, and you chose me, again. Speaking of WrestleMania 40, you can watch it back, and you can turn the audio up. My old friend, John Cena, in the ring celebrating with my friends and my family. He looked at me, he pointed at the title, I’ll never forget what he said, he said it gets heavier every day. Well, John, here I am, holding this championship, it’s not heavy enough. Here I am, holding this championship as I have for the last 300 and something days. John, I know you’re watching, I know that you think that your successor had to look like to you, had to talk like you, had to be like you, had to live like you. Well, the next one doesn’t look like the last one, John. And you are convinced that you are the last of your kind, you are not. I am standing here, I’m holding this over my head, as if it weighs nothing. And at WrestleMania 41, I will do the same. John, clearly, you want some, come and get some.

Shinsuke Nakamura Promo 

LA Knight, after tonight, you will finally have no choice, but to accept reality. A reality is that the United States Championship has passed you by and is firmly in my possession. I knew that you stubbornly would make one final attempt at my championship. There is no better location for the death of your dreams than the birthplace of the United States.
