| 0:00.0 | Hi Simon, you look like you've got something to say, do you? |
| 0:05.0 | I must go now. My planet needs me. |
| 0:11.0 | Yes, Simon Mel is dead, so he's going to miss this SmackDown, but I assume he'll be back for Vore right as rain, because that's how these things work. |
| 0:19.0 | So let's stop those downs. |
| 0:20.0 | The mat-down started with Jimmy Uso and Cody Rose backstage, |
| 0:23.0 | and Jimmy was saying that he appreciates everything that Cody did for him |
| 0:26.1 | and his cousin, more likely, last week, |
| 0:29.1 | and that he's looking for Nick Aldous to sort of talk to him about what happened to Jacob Fartoo. |
| 0:33.9 | And Cody says, kind of points him in the right direction, |
| 0:36.8 | but also says, how are things with you and your brother? |
| 0:39.8 | After everything that happened in that battle royal, and obviously Jay chucked him out to take the number one contender spot. |
| 0:45.7 | Jimmy was like, can you believe what he did kind of thing? |
| 0:48.2 | And Cody says, well, he did what's right for him, and now you've got to do what's right for you. |
| 0:53.4 | And then Jimmy went off to find nick all |
| 0:55.1 | this and cody roads came out into the arena to talk to the people now i've got to say they had a really |
| 1:00.9 | nice little one of those tiny sets that they do the entrance ramps so they can fit more people in the |
| 1:05.7 | crowd and it looked really nice i just really like it when wbri mixed these things up and it isn't the |
| 1:10.2 | exact same luck every week on tv i really like it when WWR mixed these things up and it isn't the exact same luck every week on TV. I really like it. Good stuff. Before Cody could say anything, out comes Drew McIntyre complaining that the crowd is still cheering Cody even after everything that he's done over the last few weeks after he screwed him at Russell Palluzer and then after Cody smacked him in the face with the title last week, which, I mean, yeah, fair enough. |
| 1:31.4 | Drew says that he's been screwed so many times that it's now about Drew McIntyre finishing the story, and he's going to do it at Saturday night's main event. |
| 1:41.3 | He also went on to say that he didn't attack Jacob Fartu. It wasn't him. But what he did do was blame it on Jimmy Uso. He kept on saying that he had the most gain. He was always the sort of bridesmaids, never the bride. Maybe he took a page out of his wife, Naomi's book. But before he could get on to say much else, Cody Rhodes shouts, That's enough. Shut up, if you want to fight, let's fight right now. God damn it. But before they could fight right now, God damn it. Outcome Jimmy Uso, and he attacks Drew McIntyre from behind. They end up getting in a big ball, fighting across everything. Jimmy gets dragged out by security, but classic, absolutely useless security. He gets away |
| 2:20.6 | from them. He dives through the ropes to hit Drew McIntyre, so that's a one on the dive counter |
