WWE Raw 10/27/25 Review | CM Punk And Jey Uso FACE TO FACE Before World Title Clash! · Solomonster Sounds Off

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Another Monday Night Raw in the books, the final one
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: before Saturday Night's main event, which is coming up in
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Salt Lake City this weekend. We will crown a new
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: world heavyweight champion, or will we not sure about that,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: but we had one last face off tonight with CM
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Punk and Jay Usso in theory, one of these two
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: men will be the next world heavyweight champion. Whether that
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: happens or not, we'll have to wait and see. And then,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of course we have this little side story which I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: think at some point will become the main story on
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: this show of Jimmy and Jay. Are they on the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: same page? Are they cool? For tonight they were cool.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: We'll see if that carries over into Saturday. What we
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: got from Punk and Jay was very basic. Honestly, it
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: really wasn't anything special because what is there to really say,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you know, this situation got dumped in their lap. The
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: match was supposed to be seth Rollins against CM Punk
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and so they had to recalibrate their plans. We ended
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: up with this match, the least interesting of all the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: potential match they could be giving us this weekend. That's
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: not what closed the show, though. They actually closed the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: show with the women's tag team titles. We don't see
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: them defended on this show very often. Charlotte Flair and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Alexa Bliss, they were on Raw tonight to put the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: titles on the line against Bailey and lyra Vel Carrie.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: This came out of a social media challenge, a video
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that Bailey had posted a few days ago, and so
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that's how this match came together. And when the match
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: was over, and it was a very good main event.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: When the match was over, we got sort of a
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: little hint as to what Women's Wargames is shaping up
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to look like. We didn't have all the key players
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: on the show tonight. There was no Rhea Ripley. There
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: was no Eo Sky, who just had a fantastic match
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: with Mayu Ewaitani at the Marigold Show just a couple
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of days ago. I assume that's why she wasn't on
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the show here tonight. But the Women's Wargames matches slowly
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: coming into focus after what we saw tonight. That was
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: actually one of a handful of very good matches on
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: this show. Actually, Seamus and Jad McDonagh had an excellent
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: man on this show. And then we had La Knight
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and bron Breaker, which you know we'll talk about. Were
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it not for the handful of really good matches that
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: we had on this show, that really was the saving
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: grace of Monday Night wrought tonight because I thought the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: rest of this show was very dull. It was largely
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: very boring. We do have a new championship match added
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to Saturday Night's main event. It will be Dominic Mysterio
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: putting his Intercontinental title on the line, but against who
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I don't mean, Jim Knightheart. We had a singles match,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a number one contenders match tonight Penta and russev. The
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: winner would go on to challenge dom I will let
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you know who that person or people is going to be.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: But we did get that match added. Now, what people
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: have been talking about all day, actually, what people have
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: been talking about all weekend are these vignettes that have
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: been dropped on WWE social media channels, and they aired
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a series of them throughout the show tonight. It's been
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: like four of them. Yet everybody all weekend, what could
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: this be in reference to who's coming back right or
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: who's debuting? Is it? Is it gun the because they
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: show you someone's shoes, someone's walking Whose shoes are these?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Is it Gunther? Is it Chris Jericho? Chris Jericho is
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: like the wildest one, especially given the fact that he's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: still under contract to another company. But people got it
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: in their heads that, oh, maybe it's Chris Jericho, Like
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: who is it going to be? Let me, let me
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: put your mind at ease here, And if it wasn't
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: obvious after tonight, I don't know what to tell you.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: But this is part of the initial rollout for WrestleMania
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: forty two in Las Vegas. So I don't know if
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a series of vignettes or just one
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: big one that they unveil. We didn't get the unveiling tonight,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: but that's all it is. It's it's a bunch of
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: hype videos for WrestleMania next year. The dead giveaway was
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the last one they showed us, which was a spinning
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: poker chip that lands and it says twenty twenty six
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: on it. And then there's another one you could clearly
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: see it's Cody Rhodes's hand. He's pouring some of that
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Wheatly vodka into a glass. There's another one with someone
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: wearing jeans and shoes. Obviously, it's brock lesnar That's all
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it is. So don't get your hopes some no one
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: is debuting. It's nothing like that. I don't know. Again,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: maybe later in the week they'll give us the big
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: reveal for what it is. But before people get to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: get all excited about what this could be in reference
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to they're going back to Las Vegas. That's all it is.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: This is your Raw on Netflix review. It is Monday,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: October twenty seven, twenty twenty five. I am the Solo Monster,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: our final Raw post show here for the month of October,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: final Raw before Halloween, which is coming up at the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: end of the week. Very excited about that. Like and subscribe.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Super chats are open. I also want to say thank you.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I posted this on social media earlier, but I did
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: want to just say thank you again. The latest sound off,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: episode nine thirty five, went up yesterday and climbed as
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: high as number two for all wrestling podcasts on Apple
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Podcasts in the United State. Look at this a little
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: cornette sandwich here. It's like a Oreo cookie. But you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: know the best part of the Oreo cookie, It's that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: creamy filling. That's what I am I'm the creamy filling,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: So thank you for getting us to number two, getting
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: me to number two. If you missed the latest SoundOff,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I've gotten a lot of feedback about that last segment,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the mail bag segment, the last question in the mail bag.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: People seem to be very entertained by that. You'll definitely
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: want to go check that out. I will. I will
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: get that up on the YouTube channel tomorrow. But anyway,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: so thank you, thank you for that. The other thing
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I want to mention is that I will be live
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: on Saturday. We are going to be reviewing Saturday night's
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: main event. See the last couple of ones I wasn't
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: around for, but I'll be here for the next two.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: So join me for that post show that'll be coming
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: up on Saturday night. Of course, I'll be here Wednesday night,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Friday night, and Saturday night. So you're gonna be getting
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Altimi this week. Hopefully he don't get sick of me,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and if you do, well, you wouldn't be the only one.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sure. They opened the show. Let's go back to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the beginning of Raw tonight. They opened the show with
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the World Heavyweight Championship sitting on a podium in the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: middle of the ring, and Jay Usso was yeating his
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: way through the crowd all the way down to the ring.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And then after his music died, of course, he ran
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it back and they cued his music up again and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: he did some more yeating. You know, look the live crowds,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: all the little kids and the live crowds, they obviously
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: they love to yeat, right, and they get big into
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Jay's entrance and very clear right. It's a lot of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: fun for them when you're alive, when you're watching it
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: on TV, though, And ten minutes go by and nothing
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: has happened other than watching this man come through the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: crowd and yeat and sing, and then the music stops
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and they play it again and more yeating, and fucking
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: twelve minutes of the show has elapsed. That's not my
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: idea of fun. But finally it ended, and now it
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: was time for Jay to speak, and he welcomed us
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to Mujay Night Raw, which I mean is just complete cringe.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Jay complained about having everybody in his ear. Jimmy's in
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: his ear, Roman's in his ear, his own mother is
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in his ear, but he says that he's only listening
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to himself now. And he's focused on winning the World
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Heavyweight championship. And he went to go do his catchphrase
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that was really gonna be it. That was going to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: be the entire promo here that he was going to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: give us, and then Cmpunk's music hit. So Punk comes
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: down to the ring and they're circling. The championship is
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in between them. They're kind of circling each other, and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Punk asked the fans if he wants them to run
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: his music back, and they do and they start playing
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Cult of Personality again, which was kind of funny, and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: thankfully he cut that shit off before we wasted another
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: ten minutes on this. So he told Jay sorry for
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: stealing your stuff. Four letters, one word, Punk, so that
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: he's happy that Jay is finally listening to himself. It's
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: no secret that the two of them are friends, which
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: is what makes it harder for him to go in
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: to battle against him this weekend. And then Punk mentioned
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: what happened last week. I remember they had that number
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: one contender's battle royal on the show last week, and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Jimmy saved his brother a couple of times, and then
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: ultimately Jay dump Jimmy out of the ring. Jimmy was
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: not very happy about that. So Punk brought all of
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: this up, and the crowd booed, and Punk admonished the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: fans and said, no, no, don't boo that Jimmy knew
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the rules. It's every man for himself in a battle Royal.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: There's no need to boo. And Punk asked Jay, how
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: far are you willing to go to be champion? Because
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: he needs to be champion just like he needs air
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: in his lungs. How far is Jay willing to go
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: when Punk has knocked his grill out of his mouth
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and he's in a situation where you can't yet your
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: way out of it. So Jay said that he's been
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: in the deep water before. He knows how to swim.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: He said, Punk tries to paint a picture of him
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: being the bad guy. Screw you, CM Punk on Saturday night,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going to show you who the best in the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: world is. And Jay closed with his catchphrase and then
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: he slammed the mic down and they had a little
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: face off here at the end. They showed some good
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: fire here, But I mean, this was as basic as
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: it gets. It didn't have a whole lot to say
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: In the annals of Great CM Punk promos that we've
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: gotten here on this show and all of the feuds
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that he's had since he came back to the company.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: This will not go down as one of the more
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: memorable CM Punk promos because there's not a whole lot
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to work with here. Again, this match came about last week,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: so they had one week one to promote this match
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: between two babyfaces who have not had beef with each
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: other at all, not at all. Now, that's why I said, like,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: of all the potential opponents for CM Punk on this
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: show this weekend, jay Uso was the least interesting of
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the bunch because even if it was only one segment
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: here on this show that you had to really sell
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: people on the magnitude of this match and why this
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: match could be something special. I mentioned all the different
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: names last week, right, and there's two names in particular
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that come to mind. Since you know bron Breaker was
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: not in the Battle Royal La Knight and aj Styles,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: you have something to work with. We had a promo
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: segment a few weeks ago with Punk in l a
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Night that was actually very entertaining. Instead we got punkin
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: jay Uso, and this is not jay USO's specialty. You know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: selling you on the big match, coming up standing in
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the middle of the ring in front of a live
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: crowd and digging down deep and bringing from you know,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: out from within him, you know, something that's going to
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: have people kind of really listening in and leaning in
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: and paying attention to what he has to say. That's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: not jay Uso. Jay Usa doesn't have a whole lot
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to say. So that you got what you got here,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know what else I was really expecting. I
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: pretty much got what I expected, which wasn't much. But
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I'm still hoping that we do not crown a new
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: world heavyweight champion this weekend, and perhaps the Bronze will
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: get involved. Yes, I actually think that if the Vision
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: were to get involved, as if we don't see this
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: all the time, but this is the one exception I'll
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: make where I'm actually hoping the Vision gets involved and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: they can find a way to drag this thing out
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: until Survivor series. It's very unlikely because I'm sure Punk
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and a lot of these guys are going to be
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: in the war Games match. I'm sure, but I'm holding
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: out hope they could find a way to drag this out.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Now he had penta one on one with Russev. This
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: was a number one contenders match for the Intercontinental Championship.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Penta knocked Russev out to the floor. He followed with
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a topey conehilo. This was very early in the match.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Back inside, Penta hit a springboard tornado DDT for a
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: near fall. Russev dropped to the floor. He was out
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: there to regroup and he caught Penta with a right hand.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: When he followed him out back inside, Rusev squashed Penta
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: in the corner with an avalanche. Penta came back with
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: a backstabber. It was a sliding drop kick that sent
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Russev to the floor. Penta followed again, and this time
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: he got flat jacked into the ring post. So after
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: a break, Penta jumped into a bear hug, but he
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: fought his way out of it, and Penta went up
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: top and he dove off right into a Machka kick
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: from Russev. Russev went for the accolade. Penta was able
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to counter into the Penta driver got a great near
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: fall out of it. It was close enough that the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: fans thought it was three. It was very clearly not three,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and yet the fans anyway, they chanted Refu suck, and
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I thought, you know, this is not the first time
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: in the last several weeks on a WWE show where
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: there has been a near fall that was close. But
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: like we see near fall sometimes where you know what
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: it should have been three right, or the referee has
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to hold up or something. But there have been near
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: falls the last few weeks that were close, but like
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the referee made the right call. There was really nothing
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: controversial about it, and the fans still chant Refu suck.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's not the ref that sucks. Maybe it's the
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: fans that suck. I'm starting to wonder. At that point,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: we had Ryo and Bravo Americano, Pete Dunn and Tyler
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Bate under a mask. They come out along with El
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Grande Americano. They run in. They attacked both Russev and Penta,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: so they threw the match away. They went to work
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: on Penta. Rusev rose to his feet behind them and
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: he disposed of Riyo and Bravo. Penta. TI's the Mexican
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: destroyer to El Grande until his compadres reached in and
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: they dragged him out of the ring to safety. So
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: this was the finish I think most of us probably expected.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: We probably could all see that there was a triple
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: threat match coming, and so with the outcome of this match.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: In fact, later in the show, it was made official
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: that there will be a triple threat match on Saturday Nights,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: made event for the Intercontinental Championship. It will be Dirty
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Dom defending against both Russev and Pentam. So that match
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: has been made official. And you could add this, by
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the way, to my list of tropes that I talked
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: about on the podcast this weekend, all those things, those
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: little things, those wrestling tropes that annoy me, that don't
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: make any sense logically. You could add this to the list,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: because how many times over the years on this show
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: have we seen a heel run into a match like this,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: or in this case, send some of his friends to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: run interference in a match like this because they don't
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: want to defend their championship against either one of them,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: so we'll just ruin the match and there's no winner,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: And so the dipshit healed things. Well, if there's no winner,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: then that means I don't have to defend my championship
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: against anybody. And of course, every single time, what ends
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: up happening is that the champion has to defend his
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: title in a t man match because they're too stupid
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to realize. Every single time they do this, they're just
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: fucking themselves over. You could add that to the list
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: of wrestling trumps. It's very low on the list compared
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: to some of the things I talked about, but this
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: is one that I forgot. Now in the back, Jackie
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Redman interviewed La Knight, who had stitches in his head
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: from last week, and he said he came up short
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: in the Battle Royal. She wanted to know where do
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: you go from here? That's a really good question. We
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: actually had a backstage interview. We're asking a very logical question. Hey,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: La Knight, where do you go from here? And so
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: he said, Jay Usa is going to Saturday Night's main event,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and he isn't He doesn't know how to quit. So
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: whoever comes out of the punkin j match will have
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to deal with him. So evidently he's still going to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: be in the hunt. According to him, anyway, he'll be waiting.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: He'll be waiting for whoever the champion is that. Good
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: luck with that. Now. Elsewhere in the back, we go
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: to the Vision locker room and Bron, Breaker, Bronton, Reid,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: and Paul Hamon are altogether and Breaker wants to know
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: why they were held out of the Battle Royal last
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: week when they could have demolished every man in the match,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and Hayman says, well, you gotta look at it like this.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: It probably would have led to Adam Pierce suspending all
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: of them without pay and being a thorn in their
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: side for the rest of their careers. He said. One
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: man shares their vision, which is taking advantage of the
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: winner of the Cmpung j Usso match on Saturday after
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: they beat each other half to death. Whoever it is
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: will show up next week as a victim looking to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: be victimized by a true victimizer. Hayman says, if Bron
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: takes out the one guy who is in the way
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: of them getting that next world title shot, then Bron's
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: path to the championship would be clear. Breaker wants to
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: know who is that one guy, and Hayman said he
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: already went to Adam Pearson made the match. That guy
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: is La Knight. Why do I feel like I'm watching
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: reruns of this show every single week? Like there are
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: times I will watch this show, but they'll book a
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: match and I will think to myself, I feel like
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I'm watching a rerun. I know this is live television
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: fifty one weeks a year, fifty two weeks, whatever, but
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: it feels like I'm watching a rerun. This is one
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: of those times La Night bron Breaker. Where have I
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: seen this before? La Night and bron Breaker, La Night
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and Bronson Reid, La Night and Jay Uso, La Night
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: and Jimmy Uso, La Night, Jay Uso and Jimmy Uso,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: La Night against bron Breaker and Bronson Reid, La Knight
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: and the Usso's against bron Breaker and Bronson Reid and
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Seth Rah Like. There's been so many different combinations of
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: this and it always ends the same for La Night.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a one guess how it ended tonight.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: You chew on that while I move on now. We
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: got a video package on a decade of Osca in WWE.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I hadn't realized that, but in fact she did debut
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: in NXT, I guess in twenty fifteen, So a decade
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: of Osca in this company, and they showed highlights of
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: her from her undefeated streak in NXT and her Royal
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Rumble win in twenty eighteen, her Money in the Bank
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: win Elimination Chamber, her various championships. So after that we
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: got to Adam Pierce's office, Finn Balor and JD McDonough.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: They show up and they're looking for a rematch. They
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: want their tag team titles back, which they lost to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: aj Lee on the show last week. And instead he
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: said they would get a match against a very pissed
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: off man who was illegally eliminated from the Battle Royal
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: last week. That being seamous and JD McDonough spoke up says,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I'll take the match, So that match was made official
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: for later in the show. Thank god it was because
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: it was actually ended up being the best thing on
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the entire show. Then we had Nicki Bella against Roxanne Perez,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: which may have been the worst thing on the entire show.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Roxanne mock worshiped Nicki at the beginning here, which earned
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: her a slap. Roxanne then got caught with a shot
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that actually might have legit stunned her for a little bit.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: After a commercial, Roxanne hit a running uppercut on Nicki
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: while she was up against the ropes, and then a
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: double jump moon salt off the middle rope for a
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: near fall. Roxanne cranked away at Nicki's surgically repaired neck.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: She had her in a neck vice and then she
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: went after the back of Nicki's neck with a series
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: of forearms. Nicki double legged the Roxanne and caught her
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: with a running boot. Then she hit a version of
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the I mean, I guess you would call it a
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: disaster kick. That's basically what it was, only got a
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: near fall. She went for her rack attack two point
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: zero finish. What a name though, for a finish rack
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: attack two point zero. I feel weird every time I
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: say that. It's just a it's just not a good name.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: But she went for it. Roxanne countered out into a sleeper.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Nicki escaped, Roxanne tripped her up in the ropes just
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: so she ended up in like a six to one
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: nine position. I should point out the crowd was deead
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: dead for this match. Dead. It was like background noise
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: for whatever they were doing. They were looking on their phones,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: going to the bathroom, whatever it was they were doing.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: This crowd could not be bothered to care about this match.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: It was it was like a funeral in this building.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Nicki hit a spinebuster for a near fall Raquel Rodriguez.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: She was outside. She jumped up on the apron, so
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Nicky knocked her down. Roxanne caught Nicki with a cradle,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: only got a two. Nicki went for a charge in
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the corner, Roxanne ducked him. Nicki slammed face first, slammed
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: herself face first into the middle buckle, and finally Roxanne
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: got a version of pop Rocks out of the corner.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Not her best pop rocks, but she hit pop Rocks
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and she got the pin. That's the most important part
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: this match. This match was not great. And I'm watching
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: this and I'm going there's no way Roxanne Perez can
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: lose this match. If she loses this match, it will
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: be a miscarriage of justice. At least she won the match.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: That's the best thing I could say about it. Now.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Raquel attacked Nikki after the match. She was in trouble
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: until Stephanie Viquire ran down to make the save. Stephanie
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and Raquel had a little bit of a stare down,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: and as they're staring down, you see in the background
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: here comes Nicky Bella. I was just funny the way
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: she just kind of interjected herself. I guess the idea
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: was that, you know, Raquel was going to back down
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: at that point, which she did. She decided to stand down,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: and so that was it. This match wasn't very good.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: It really was not. And Nicki she just the thing
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: with Niki is she looks so out of place with
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the women in this division, is like she's trying too
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: hard to fit in. I think that's why I almost
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: laughed when I'm looking at Stephanie and Raquel in this
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: face to face and then Nicki just sort of pops up,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: like she's trying hard to fit in here. But it
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: just feels like and she was in many ways, she
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: was transported from another era here of the women's division
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: in this company into this one. And there just are
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of other women who are in line in
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: front of her. So, you know, if they want to
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: use her name, because she has name value, right, she
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: was the longest reigning Divish champion, and she had success
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: and she has her fans, and if they want to
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: use her in a role like this where she's going
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: to do the honors for people like Roxanne, I mean
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: that's fine. But this match cheer was not it, This
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: was not it Now. Last Friday on social media, they
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: showed the video. Bailey issued a challenge to Charlotte Flair
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and Alexa Bliss on behalf of Lyra Valkyria and herself
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: for the women's tag team titles. Now we come back
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: live Oscar and Kyrie saying they get on Lyra's case
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: about the whole thing, because Oscar feels very strongly about
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the fact that they deserve the Kabuki Warriors deserve a
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: shot at the women's tag team titles, and so Lyra's
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: trying to tell them, Look, I had nothing to do
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: with this. It's like she didn't even know that Bailey
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: was going to issue this challenge. So after the Kabukis left,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Bailey showed up with matching tag team jackets she had
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: won for Lyra as well as herself. Lyra points out,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you know, I've never been in the ring before with
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Charlotte Flair, and I've never been in the ring before
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: with Alexa Bliss and Bailey you know realizes you know
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: that's right. I guess you haven't been in the ring
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: with them before. Now she starts to get worried, like
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: what if we don't win? What if we don't win
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the tag team titles? And Lyra has a different take
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: on things. Her perspective is, yeah, but what if we win?
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: And Bailey liked that attitude, and then they did some
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: goofy handshake and they abruptly cut away. Now elsewhere. Jimmy
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Uso approached Jay Uso backstage, and he was not happy
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: at all. He took great issue with Jay, saying that
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: it's just him now. That's what he was saying in
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: his opening promo. It's all about me now, right, It's
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: just me oose right. So he doesn't like this whole
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: attitude that Jay is sporting lately. And he points out
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: that I saved you twice in the Battle Royal last
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: week and you dump me out of the ring. And
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Jay said, well, it was every man for himself And
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Jimmy said the play was that we would eliminate everybody
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: else and then it would be every man for himself
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: when it came down to you and me, And Jimmy said,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: maybe you were afraid of finding out what would happen
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: if we had been the last two. Not a lot
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: of good vibes there between the two brothers. The crowd
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: reacted to that last line. Again, there's something brewing here.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know which direction they're going with this. I
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: don't know if one's going heel over the other, if
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: they're both gonna go heal, if no one's going heal.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: They want to keep you thinking that something's gonna happen here,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: But there's any number of ways they can go with it.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: None of them are particularly appealing to me, if I'm
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: being honest with you. Yeah, the story between Jimmy and
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Jay is fine. My fear is that if Jay Uso
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: ends up with the World Heavyweight Championship, that this story
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: now has to involve the world title when it doesn't.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: And I really think at the end of the day,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: they're not going to put the title back on Jay, right.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: There's always that possibility they could, but I don't think
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: they will because this definitely does not need the World
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Heavyweight Championship involved. They could tell whatever story they're gonna
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: tell from within the blood line, right, Jimmy and Jay
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and Roman, and it does not have to revolve around
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: the world title. Jay wants to win the world title back,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: but by no means does he actually have to beat
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Cmpunk to win the belt back. This Weekend. Now that
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: brings us to La Knight and Brown Break. During his entrance,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: La Night is coming out and he looks up and
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: he sees a fan in the crowd right there in
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: the aisleway holding up a sign, and I couldn't tell
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: it first what the sign said, and then I could see.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: He grabs the sign out of the fan's hand and
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: he shows it to the camera and it says we
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: want La Knight, not Jay Usso now his luck. He'll
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: get heat for that. He'll get heat for showing that
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: sign to the camera. Wade Barrett was very blunt on
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: commentary about the stakes of this match. Whoever loses will
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: not be in line for a title shot. After giving
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Night a little flurry of offense, Braun ran through La
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: with a clothesline. This man looked like the Flash when
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: he's running back and forth like that in the ring.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: He really does. I'd rather have him over Ezra Miller
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: in that role. He looked like the fucking Flash going
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: back and forth. So Knight hit Bron with a drop
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: kick to the floor heading into a break. During that break,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Bronson redistracted La Night, which allowed Breaker to press slam
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: him onto the announced desk Breaker was back in control.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: After the break was over, he hit an avalanche knee
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: in the corner suit plex Knight over the ropes to
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the floor. Breaker ran halfway around the ring outside and
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: he hit Knight on the floor with a flying shoulder tackle.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Back inside, Night caught Breaker with a jumping neck breaker
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: and a pop up power slam and a jumping elbow.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Night went for the bft breaker, though escaped. He went
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: for the top rope Frankensteiner, but Night slipped out underneath
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: him and I think he tripped him. And the bump
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: that bron Breaker took was very, very scary. He basically
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: just fell. He fell down, but he fell down backwards,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: and he took a very nasty spell on the mat,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: So the referee immediately went over to check on him.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: He was holding the back of his head. I'm sure
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Triple H was holding his breath. His life flashed before
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: his eyes in the back. Oh no, we already have
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: one man down here. We can't out afford this. He
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: was okay, but it was a very scary fall. Knight
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: set up Breaker for a superplex. The Breaker shoved him off,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: so Knight ran up the ropes and he hit his megaplex,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: that's what he's calling it. Off the top rope for
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: a near fall. This right here, this last little sequence
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: here of this match. This is where it kicked up
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: into the next gear, because I would say the first
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: half of the match it was all right, but then
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: there was a point in the match and it was
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: right around here where it did. And the f also
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: they were really getting into the near falls and you
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: could feel like, okay, we've shifted now, right, We've shifted
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: out of first gear into that next one. So Night
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: went for the BFT, Breaker escaped again. Bronson redistracted La Knight.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: That gave Breaker the opening for the spear, but Night
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: ducked and Bron went to the floor. Night went after
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Reid on the floor and then sent Breaker headfirst into
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the announced desk back inside. Breaker tried for a gorilla press,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Knight escaped, He hit a reverse DDT. Night went up
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: top for an elbow. Breaker kicked up right as Knight
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: jumped off the ropes. So La Knight rolls through, He
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: jumps up to his feet, he turns around, and what
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: happens He runs right into a spear, A great spear
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: by Bron Breaker, and Breaker gets the pin. So this
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: turned into a pretty good match. Here turned into a
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: pretty good match. I didn't like that they booked the
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: match at all though. That was my gripe with this. See,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I knew as soon as they booked this match, I
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: knew that the outcome before they even hit the ring,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: clear as day. They were not gonna beat bron Breaker.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: And La Knight now was in a position where popular
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: as he still is, I don't know that Triple H
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: looks at him as somebody that we have to protect
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: all the time. There's certain people on the roster they
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: don't want them to lose, so they'll have some sort
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: of interference or no contest. Night is not one of
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: those people. He's been beaten time and time and time
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: again like a drum. And so of course, if anybody
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: was gonna win this match, it was not going to
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: be La Knight. And as Wade Barrett made clear at
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the match, whoever wins this match is
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: gonna be in line. Whoever loses this match is not
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: going to be in contention for the championship. And so
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: now we know who is not going to be in
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: contention for the championship, and that is La Night, And
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: that's why I would not have booked the match to
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: begin with. I would not have booked this match to
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: begin with. La Knight has lost enough matches on this show,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: primarily to the vision, to where he can ill afford
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: to continue eating losses like this. Bron Braker coming out
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: of that great angle they shot a couple of weeks ago,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: should be booked. I want to say unstoppable, like he
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: should be beating everybody in two minutes, but he should
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: be protected now in a way that they were not
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: protecting him before. And they went in there and they
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: had ended up being a really good match, but I
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: feel like Breaker gave him too much right, So it's
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: like I wouldn't have booked the match to begin with.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I would have had them or Breaker wrestling somebody else
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: doing something else. But as soon as the match was made,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: it was very clear how this was going to go.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: And again, my other issue with it is that it
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: just feels to me when I was watching them out there,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: like I'm watching the show on repeat, because we have
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: seen some combination of this so many times, going back
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: to the summer. At what point do they move on
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: to something else and they have these guys mixing it
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: up with other faces on the show. It just feels
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: like the same thing over and over and over again.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: It's like the easy thing to fall back on. Well,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: we'll just do another match. We'll just have bron Breaker
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: again against La Night. Great, but at what point does
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: somebody say, you know what, I think we've done this enough,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: maybe we should try something a little bit different. The backstage,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Adam Pearce exited his office. He was looking for Dominique
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Mysterio and he finds Dom who is chatting with the Americanos.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: And Dom explains to Pierce how rusevn Penta, I guess
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: you know they're gonna have to go after the Americanos. Now,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I had nothing to do with it. I didn't know
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: they were gonna do that. And Pierce said he didn't
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: buy it, and he said, actually, you know you mentioned that.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Now they're gonna have to go after the Americanos, Russe
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: They're both coming after you. And then he made it
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: official that it's Saturday Night's main event. Don would have
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: to defend his Intercontinental title in a triple threat match
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: against Russev and Penta. So that match is official now.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Elsewhere Jimmy and Jay. They meet again. Jimmy's walking and Jay.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: He comes across Jay who's just sitting on top of
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: one of the equipment cases, and Jay tells him, look,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I love you. That's never going to change. Jay says
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: he's got a lot on his mind and he doesn't
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: have a lot of real estate left. It's only got
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: so much room. I guess up here, right. Jay asked
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: if they were good. Jimmy said, I feel you. Where's
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: that super chet? Do you feel him? Sir, yes, he
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: feels him. So for the time being, the brothers have
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: made amends. We'll see how long that lasts. We had
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Seamus against j D McDonough, who had Finn Balor in
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: his corner. This was the match of the night right here.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Always good when we get Seamus on the show, he
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: is always reliable for at least a good match, if
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: not a great match. Here on these shows we just
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: don't get enough of them. Seamus brutalized McDonough in the opening.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: McDonough clipped his knee and then had a brief advantage,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: but McDonogh turned his back on him and so he
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: got clothes lined out to the floor outside the ring.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Seamus and Balor. They had a brief stare down back inside,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Seamus set up McDonough for the ten beats, but Balor
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: pulled JD to the floor, so Seamus took both men
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: down with the diving clothesline off the apron to the floor.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Later in the match, McDonough caught Seamus with an Asahi
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: moon salt on the floor. Back inside, McDonough hit a
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: four point fifty splash to follow up, only got a
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: near fall. Mcdonoughh tried kicking and slapping Seamus. All that
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: did was fire up the Irishman Seamus Florida with a
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: pair of clotheslines in the Irish Cursed Backbreaker. McDonough escaped
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: the ten beats again, he caught Seamus with a cradle,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: only got two. Seamus finally got McDonough tied up in
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: the ropes and he got the ten beats, so Seamus
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: went for the bro kick. McDonough, though, caught him with
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: a knee. Seamus gave McDonough a crucifix power bomb, but
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Balor dove into the ring and not completely, but he dove,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't like he just reached in and
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: put his foot on the rope. He basically dove into
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: the ring and he placed McDonough's foot on the bottom
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: rope for the break, and there was absolutely no way,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: There's no way. But the referee did not see this.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm watching the referee to see if he's going to,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: like at least admonish, you know, Balor, and say something
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: or reject him or whatever. He just acted like he
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: didn't see a thing. It looked he looked so ridiculous
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: just the position that he was in. There was no
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: way that he did not see this man literally dive
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: into the ring and interfere. But the referee is like, dope,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: dupe foot on the rope, foot of the rope, two
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: count only he looked like a blithering idiot. So, which
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: is not the first time they've done that with their referees.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: As we will know, Seamus dropped to the floor and
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: he gave Balor a broad kick, so McDonough dove through
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: the ropes for the save, or the attempted save. Seamus
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: ended up catching him back inside. Seamus went to the
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: top rope. Baler though, hit Seamus from behind with Seamus's
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: own shalaley. Because the referee was preoccupied with JD McDonough.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: He didn't see any of this, so Baler waxed him
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: with the sale. Seamus is basically out on top now,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: and then McDonough brings Seamus all the way down to
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: the mat with the top rope Spanish fly and he
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: pins Shamus. That's an upset right there, even with the
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: assist from Balor, still JD McDonagh getting a pinfall win
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: over Seamus. I would consider that to be an upset.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Wade Barrett sold this as the biggest singles win of
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: McDonough's career, which is probably true, and this was an
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: excellent match. We need more Shamus on these shows. He's
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: not presently involved in any specific program or feute or
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: anything like that, and they really need to start to
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: get something going with him. I think he should be
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: a more constant maybe not every week, but he should
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: be a more constant presence on these shows. I kind
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: of feel like, you know, at this point, he's almost
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: in that Randy Orton role. And I know Randy Orton
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: has a very particular schedule, probably built into his contract
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: so that he has, you know, a certain number of
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: days off, But like Randy Orton will show up for
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: a week or two and then we won't see him
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: again for weeks and weeks on end, Like we're in
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: the middle of that right now. I think the last
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: time we saw Randy Orton may have been early September, right,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: and then he just disappears. So when I talk about like, oh,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: we got to get something with Cody and Randy, it's
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: like it's hard because if he's not going to be around,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: then you can't do it. Or is he just not
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: around because the time is not right and they're waiting right,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: they're waiting for some kind of an angle for him,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: and then he'll be around more frequently. Seamus is very
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: much the same way, where he'll show up, he'll be
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: in a Battle Royal or he'll be in a match,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: and he had that program with Russev and they had
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: a whole series and then he vanished and then we
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: may not see Seamus on the show for three, four
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: or five weeks. So it could be tough to get
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: something going, but I think it's worth it to get
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: him involved in some solid story because he does at
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: least in ring. He is someone who elevates the show
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: every time he is on it, and he's in that
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: ring and you ring that bell, you know what you're
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: gonna get out of him. I mean, he is one
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: of the most consistent performers they have on that brand,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: So hopefully they can find something for him to do.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: And maybe it doesn't involve the Intercontinental title right now.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: I mean that's still like the big story for him.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: I hope they're saving that for you know, maybe a
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania or something. But yeah, I definitely need to get
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: more of him on these shows. Last week, Becky Lynch
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: got jobbed out by referee Jessica Carr again during her
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: match with Maxine Dupree we Come Back Live. Adam Pierce
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: is talking to Maxine. Tells Maxine that after beating Becky
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: twice now, once by count out and then that last
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: match which was for the title and Becky got herself disqualified,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: she's earned another crack at the Intercontinental Championship. Maxine is
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: grateful for the opportunity, but she actually is a little
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: bit She has this look on her face like, you
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: know what, I don't know if now's the right time.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: And Pierce is like, well, you don't want the shot,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: and she said, no, no, no, I want the shot,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: and I've earned it and absolutely I want it, but
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: she says, I don't want it to go to waste
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: before I get it. I want to call a friend
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: and make sure that I'm ready for whatever comes my way.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: And Pierce tells her, okay, you call me whenever you're ready,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: and they shake on it. What is this? Who wants
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: to be a millionaire? I have to phone a friend.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: You've been gifted a championship match. Oh, you know what.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that, but not yet. Let's just wait a
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: little bit on that. What the fuck? Now? We know
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: that she's friends with Natty, but we haven't seen Natty
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: on TV and forever. What difference would that make? I
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: need to go talk to a friend, and then Natty
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: shows him nobody's gonna care. It feels like a way
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: to maybe reintroduce aj Lee. We have not seen aj
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Lee since wresselled Paloozo, So that feels to me like
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: aj maybe the friend that she's referring to now elsewhere.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Jackie Redmond interviewed the women's tag team champions who were
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: in the main event tonight, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: and she is talking about how the champions have been
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: accepting all comers, all challenges coming their way, and tonight
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: is no exception. But she wanted to know why would
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: you take this match on such short notice like this,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: such an impromptu match, and Alexis says that we don't
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: back down from challenges. Charlotte says that they're two wins
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: away from having the most women's tag team title defenses
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: in history. Oscar and Kyrie walk in and Osca talks
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: about how they deserve the titles. Charlotte says, Osca, I
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: know I've beaten you a lot, but we would be
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: honored to face you guys and put our titles on
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: the line against you. And so Oscar storms off, and
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: of course, poor Kyrie, Poor Kyrie gets yelled at. Off
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: she goes, and off we go to another backstage segment.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: AJ Styles and Dragon Lee. Aj Lee, the new World
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: Tag Team Champions, are talking to Adam Pierce and Styles
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: says that, look, we want to face any deserving team
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: that you feel is worthy of a shot at these titles,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: like you know, basically put us in coach. You know
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: we're ready to play. We want to defend these titles.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Finn Balor and JD McDonagh show up. Obviously, they want
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: to rematch for the titles, and AJ says, no, no,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: you know what, we accept we want this match, and
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Pierce says, well, if you want the match, I'll make
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: it official for next week. So we are getting a
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: tag team championship rematch on the show next week. And
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: they close the show with the women's tag team titles
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss defending the belts against Bailey
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: and Lyra Valkyria. This was the fifth title defense for
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: the champions again. I guess they're two away from setting
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: a record that nobody really cares about, but good for them.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Bliss and Bailey, they started out. Charlotte got a blind
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: tag and caught Bailey with a clothesline. Bliss got the
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: tag again and took Bailey down with the head scissors.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: The fans brought out the fireflies on their phones. Valkyrius
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: sent Flair to the floor, followed her out with a
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: basement dropped kick through the ropes. After a commercial break,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Bailey got a tag and she held Bliss up in
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: a fireman's carry so that Lyra could come off the
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: ropes and hit a running blockbuster. Bliss came back with
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: a double ddet to both Bailey and Lyra. So Flair
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: got the Now I wouldn't I was gonna say hot tag,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't so much that she got the hot tag.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: It was more like she got the mild tag because
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: at this point I wouldn't say the crab was going
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: crazy for this match. Yeah, but they were. They were
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: cheering for Charlotte and they were, you know, mildly happy
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: that she got the tag here. So she came into
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: the match. She came off the top of a big
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: cross body block. Off the top, Flair delivered a pair
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: of fallaway slams and then hit both challengers with the
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: moon Salt. Charlotte went for the cover of Lyra. She
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: got a shoulder up in two, so Charlotte sent Bailey
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: to the floor with a big boot. Valkyria caught her
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: with a leg lariot. Bailey fired up. She was demanding
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: a tag. Oh we're getting the other Bailey here, So
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Bailey tags in. She hit an elbow off the middle
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: ropes onto Charlotte. Then she rushed over and dropped kicked
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: Alexa off the apron, and then she caught Charlotte with
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: the belly to Bailey. Only got a near fall out
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: of it. Bliss got a blind tag. Lyra got the
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: tag as well and ran right into a sister Abigail
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: DDT from Alexa. They got a big pot crab pop
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: big for that. Bailey, though, made the safe Bailey and
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Charlotte they fought on the floor. Bliss came off the
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: top of the crossbody onto Lyra. Lyra caught her and
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: turned it into her night wing finish, only for a
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: near fall, though after Charlotte made it back into the
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: ring barely in time to break up the fall that
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: was actually a very good near fall. Charlotte and Bailey
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: they each got tagged in officially and Bailey landed a
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: ths press. The two women brawled until Charlotte floored Bailey
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: with a big boot. She ate all of that and
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Charlotte locked on the figure eight, and just as it
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: seemed like Bailey might tap out, Lyra crawls into the
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: ring and she grabs Bailey's hand before she can do
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: so to prevent her from tapping out. Now, as Lyra
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: is laying there, her back is exposed. She has no
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: idea that Alexa Bliss is setting up for Twisted Bliss.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: She comes off the top and lands right across Lyra's back.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Charlotte and Alexa they each gave each other a little
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: nod and then they hit stereo natural selections and Charlotte
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: got the pin on Bailey to retain the women's tag
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: team titles. Yes, Arizona Zombie, says the Fiendus the Fiendus
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: to start that again, She's the Fiendus. Well, the Fiendus
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: and the Queen. They are still the world tag team
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: champions in the women's division. Here. After the match was over,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: the Kabuki Warriors ran and the only shocking thing about
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: this is that we actually got a clean finish. I
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: thought for sure that Oscar and Kyrie in those segments
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: we saw earlier in the night were setting up them
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: interfering in the finish so they could protect both teams.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: I'm happy we got a legitimate finish here. And they
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: waited until the match was over. Then the Kabukis came
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: in to go on the attack. Oscar held Flair in
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: position for Kyrie to hit a standing insane elbow off
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: the top. Then they targeted Lyra. Bailey, though stood them
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: down and the Kabuki's back down while Bailey tended to
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Lyra and the Tag Team champions sold on the floor
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: outside as the show came to a close. Very good
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: main event, and I thought that coming into it, I
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: thought they were going to end with a heel turn
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: with Bailey turning on Lyra. That's why I thought they
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: were closing the show with this. I thought that's what
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: we were setting up for. This was their big tag
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: team championship opportunity, and they were going to blow it,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: and then we were gonna get, you know, the bad
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: side of Bailey and she was gonna have a meltdown
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: on Lyra. So I was I was a little surprised
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: we didn't get that. I do wonder if they're saving
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: that maybe for wargames. Remember all those years ago in
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: NXT when Dakota Kai came out of or Dakota kak
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: now what it was was Dakota Kai came out of
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: one of the cages, and then it was Tigan Knox
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: and she attacked Teagan and it was this great out
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: of nowhere turn and you had Mara Ronalo on commentary
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: just freaking out, losing his mind. There are ways that
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: you could do a turn, you know, in like a
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: War Games match and make it this big dramatic thing.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's what they're saving it for. Maybe it happens
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: at Survivor series. But speaking of wargames, it does feel
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: like this was the start of the slow build to
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: whatever that match is going to be. Yeah, I was
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: trying to think of, like, Okay, what what is the
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: configuration of these teams going to look like? And you
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: look at what they did here, and I could see
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: a situation where Bailey and Lyra end up tagging with
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: the Kabuki Warriors. You know, maybe it's a situation where
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: again you get different versions of Bailey here. You can
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: get baby Face Bailey, Psycho Bailey, and maybe Bailey convinces Lyra,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: who's you know, not convinced that this is what they
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: should be doing. But somehow they end up on the
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: same not that they go heal and then join with
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: the Kabookie Warriors, but that they end up on the
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: same side. So you would get Oscar, Kyrie, Bailey, Lyra,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: you know, all on one team together, and maybe they
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: wrestle Charlotte, Alexa, Rhea and EO. And then if you
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: want it to be five on five, maybe they shoehorn
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Becky and aj Lee into the match, and then you
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: get five on five and you could have Becky, maybe
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Becky leading one team and then you know, aj could
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: sort of be leading the other. Maybe that's the play here.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know, so we'll see, but I mean clearly they,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: you know, left us with the idea that War Games
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: is beginning to take shape here. I thought the first
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: half of this show was largely boring and the second
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: half was better. It was very much helped by the
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: fact that we had a bunch of good matches. That
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: really is what carried the day here for this show.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: You know, they're still playing out the story with Jimmy
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: and Jay, and you can see some of these stories
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: playing out the problem with RAW right now. And it
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: doesn't help that they were missing some people like Ria
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Ripley wasn't there, Eosky wasn't there, Punk was there. He
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: barely did anything again. Aj Lee came back and she
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: hasn't been on the show since Russell Palooza. John Seen
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: is not gonna be on the show for a few
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: more weeks. Roman Rains is gone, getting ready for that
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: next big return is Roman Reins. So that doesn't help
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: the problem with RAW right now. There's just not a
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: whole lot to get excited about. Honestly, this show feels
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: very dead. Thankfully we had Seamus and JD McDonagh. Hat
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Thankfully we had a very good tag team main event,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: because in the absence of that, if we're just relying
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: on the stories here to carry the day this week, boy,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: this would have been this would not have been good.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: That's my issue with RAW right now. Now. This Saturday
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: is Saturday Night's main event. This is the card as
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: it currently stands. This may end up being the final card.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know that they're gonna add anything on Friday.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna Eddio Sky against Oscar one
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: on one, and instead we're getting a triple threat Intercontinental
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: title on the line, Dominic, Mysterio Penta and Russev. I
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: don't think dom is losing that championship. I think he
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: aks by with a win and he retains. That's my prediction.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: There we have Jade car Gill who did just go heel.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: She's challenging Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women's Championship, and
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: I don't see any outcome here other than Jade wins
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: the title. She just went heel on Friday. She's already
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: lost before to Tiffany. Tiffany has been dominant the entire year.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: Literally one loss the entire year for Tiffany Stratton and
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: that was the loss to Stephanie at Crown Jewel. She
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: has to lose. It's time. The time has come. I
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: don't even care what you think about whether or not
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Jade should be the champion. She's ready to be the champion.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: The only outcome here that really makes sense, the only outcome,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: the correct outcome year, is Tiffany loses that championship, So
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Jade's gonna win the title. On that show, we have
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: the world heavyweight Champion being decided between CM Punk and
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Jay Uso. You know, I'm sitting here and I'm like, boy,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: who do I want to win this match? Neither one
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: of these guys. If I'm being honest, I don't have
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: a favorite here, like, oh, I want this guy to win.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I want that. I want either one of these guys
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: to win, honestly, Not now, not you know, Punk, Not now.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: I'm pulling for the Bronze to show up, good old
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Bronze Breaker. I will see if they give us a
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: new world champion. Though it's gonna be cm Punk and
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: then we have the WWE Championship. Cody Rhodes defends against
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre and I talked about this on Sunday. If
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: we are gonna get a new world champion crowned, and
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: if Jade car Gill is gonna win the women's title,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: I don't see them changing all. Now, Dom's not gonna lose,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: but I don't see them doing a third title change
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: in the Cody and Drew match, so I feel like
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: Cody is retaining. I think Drew should win. I want
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Drew to win. Drew is my favorite to win here.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Do I think Drew is going to win? I don't,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: and I don't know where he goes from here. If
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: he doesn't, that's the only thing. If he goes in
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: there and loses, would he why would he even get
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: another shot? At that point? He already lost clean and
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: Wressell Palooza. So you beat him again here and he's
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: pretty much dead in the water. But you got Survivor
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: series coming up. So if they're going to run this
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: back again, or maybe Randy Orton comes back, they make
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: it a triple threat. Something has to happen here on
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: this show. On Saturday. So ideally Drew McIntyre would win
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: the championship. But boy, if Jade is winning and Punk
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: is taking that title home, I don't see them changing
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: the title here in this match. I just don't. I
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: don't think they're going to do it. But I'll be
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: live when the show is over. I'll be live talking
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: about the whole thing. Hopefully you guys will will join me.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Take a look at the Twitter poll. What did you
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: think of Raw? Here from Anaheim sixty six percent thumbs
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: up for tonight's show, thirty four percent thumbs down. Could
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: vote at Solo Monster just hipped thirty nine thousand followers
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: on x That is where you can find the poll
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: and you can vote. Let me know what you thought
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: of tonight's show. Yeah, Zachary says, I think Punk wins
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: the title, but will not have it for very long.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: If he wins the title, I suspect that you are correct,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: you will not have it for very long. Although if
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: he wins it, then I don't think that title is
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: being defended as survivor series because he's probably a war games.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: That baseball game is still on top of the eleventh inning. Yeah,
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: I thought it was over by now must be a
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: hell of a game. Let's go through your messages here.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: You can still get your super chats on in I
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: will be reading them here. And also, we are currently
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: at three hundred and twenty eight likes, so four hundred
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: is the goal if we are to do be the
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: Booker tonight, So let's try to get those likes up. Hey,
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Joseph Stewart, what are your thoughts on Dominic Mysterio's Triple
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: A run. I think it's great. I think it's great
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: exposure for him. I think watching him go down there, Yeah,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: they were in Mexico City this past week, and the
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: way that he is treated by those crowds, he comes
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: off as a total superstar. He's like a rock star
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: down there. He's going down there and having kick ass matches.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: He had a great match with Dragonly, So I think
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: it's one wonders for him. Joseph says, what was Undertaker's
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: gimmick based off him? His gimmick was based off of
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: the old Undertakers from the old the Old West, the
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: old Western Undertakers, only he was a bit more supernatural
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: than they were. But that was sort of the bet. Then,
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: the basis for it Joseph says, buy or sell clay
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Face or Killer Croc? Killer Croc? Were you a fan
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: of the Mad Max movies? I was not? Also, rest
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: in peace to actress June Lockhart, she was one hundred. Well,
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: I think that's what everybody should aspire to get to.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: You want to at least get to that centennial birthday,
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: you know. Isn't that what I think? Bob bark was
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: one hundred, right, did Bob Barker? I think he reached
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: one hundred when he passed away. Look at that, he
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: made it to one dollar without going over. Joseph says,
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: were you a fan of Jim Carrey as the Grinch? Now?
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: I was a fan of Jim Carrey as the Mask.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't really bother with the Grinch. Have you read
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: the Batman origin story Batman Year one? No? I do
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: have a copy of the Killing Joke somewhere that I
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: did not read. Dried Chicken wwe is a mint chocolate company?
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: AW is an almond Joy? An almond Joy? You say,
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: also Bob Barker was ninety nine? Okay, Well, he made
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: it as close as he could to one hundred without
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: going over. See look at that. It was just meant
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: to be. Also, move Carmelo Hayes to raw or let
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: him walk. Yeah, I don't know what they're doing with him.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: He's still stuck with the Miz. It's just it's just ridiculous. Uh,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: pick one faction to help you in a zombie apocalypse.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: I'll go with the Ministry, the Ministry of Darkness, right Chicken,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: says t kowwe j USO plus yeat plus utah equals
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: j y tah. I'm surprised they don't put together some
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: lame t shirt like that like they did for Damian
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: priez It's web by time. Yeah, why don't they do that?
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: They should have had a j y tah right. They
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: had these custom shirts for brock lesnar Suplex City, they
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: would have a different one for different cities. They could
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: do some lame shirt for jay Us super pun what's
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: going on? Super Pony? Thank you for the Love? Says
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Does Paul not like the fact that La Knight got
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: over organically on his own? Or is he just a
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: bald fraud that has no idea what he's doing. Maybe
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: there is a little bit of professional jealousy there. I
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: don't know, Ory could be a bald fraud. That's possible too.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: That's like the go to phrase now ever since Punk
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: used it on The Rock called him a bald fraud.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: Now Triple H is a bald fraud, The Rock is
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: a bald fraud. Ricochet is a bald fraud, or he's
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: just bald. We got b man. The champ is with us.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: Two questions, two questions, one word, uh huh now two questions.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: One do you think maybe Jimmy might have been right
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: when he said that he was afraid that Jay would
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: become like Roman back in twenty twenty three? Well, yeah,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of the story they're playing off
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: of here. And also, has anyone ever told you that
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: you look like Brian Danielson pre ww No, I've never
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: heard that before. That's the first time I've ever heard that.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: WEPA also means wow, So okay, that's even worse. It's
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: like having a shirt that says that says it's wow time.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: What a just what a what an absolutely just lame company.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: Some of the merch they put out, Man Jeremy Rose,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: you don't see a j heel title run CM Punk
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: winning is lazy. He needs to win at chamber or WrestleMania.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Either way, La Knight needs a nice feud with the winner,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: even though I know Bron is the end result Bron
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: and Punk at wrestle Media. To me, Bron and Punk
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: is not a wrestle Media match. Bron and Roman reigns
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: is a WrestleMania match. I don't think Bron Breaker and
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: CM Punk honestly is the WrestleMania man. And No, I
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: don't want a Jay Heel title run. You want to
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: give Jay He'll run, that's fine. He'al title run. I
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: have no interest in. I don't care if the story
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: is there for it. That's not a story I care
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: to see them tell. Today's episode is sponsored by Better Help.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: You know, World Mental Health Day recently passed on October tenth,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: But just because that day may have come and gone

  Speaker 1: doesn't mean we can't take a moment to say thank

• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: therapist online. I've used Better Help myself in the past
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: for something that I would consider minor, but you'd be
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: surprised how quickly something minor it could turn into something
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: major if left untreated. For me, it was incredibly helpful
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: just to have someone to talk to, and for that
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: I will say thank you as well. And if it
• 1:03:12

• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: tilted was Goldberg after the Oscar tribute tonight? Oh, you're
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: implying that Goldberg was actually watching Monday Night Raw. Goldberg
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: does not like wrestling. Goldberg does not give a shit
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: about wrestling. Goldberg does not give a shit about the product.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: He doesn't watch it, he doesn't follow it, he doesn't
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: pay attention to it. He's in his garage with his cars,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: enjoying himself. So I don't think he was bothered by
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: it at all because he didn't see it. I can
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: only assume he's morphed into Gulberg in a fit of
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: rage after being reminded that his streak was broken in
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: his own words, by some Japanese girl. Yeah again, you
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: would think after the second or third time he brings
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: this up in an interview that he would at least
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: learn the woman's name. Thank you dude. Here, Brian Keith says,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: another tired trope face comes out with the title belt
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: to help the other face from getting beaten down, only
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: to drop it before getting in the ring. There's so
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: many of them. I tried to cover like all the
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: ones that really annoy me, and then like when I
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: was done, I was like, man, I left out like
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: at least five. I'll try to get that segment up
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: on the channel tomorrow though it's one for the ages.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: Duffs Vid says, what happens after you eat alphabet soup?
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: You have a vowel movement? Might have been your best
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: one in a while. Also, what kind of clothes does
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: a housewear? Address? All right, I'll give I'll give you
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: that one address address. Hey, Giro Sanchez, thank you for
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: the dollar ninety nine and Oz Glorious says, yikes, Cempunk
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: looks like the sixty two year old love child the
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: Beavis and butt head with the hair. His hair is
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: getting taller. You ever noticed that. I guess selling out
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: every shred of integrity you have for Riodd's season will
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: aid you. It's the hair. I'm telling you, it's the hair.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: His hair adds like three inches now to his height.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: It's all poofed up like that. It's amazing. Yeah, it's
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: a good point. You know, the whole Goldberg streak thing was.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: It's kind of silly just because WCW started to embellish
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: his wind streak, like he didn't actually rack up one
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy three or one hundred and seventy four wins.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: It's a fake number. It was real up until the
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: point then they just started like, oh he went. They
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: just like they were having all these house shows that
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: they weren't having, and they jacked the number up. So
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: it's not even a legitimate number. So that girl beat
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: his streak a lot earlier than one hundred and seventy three.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: And oh you like the soup joke, kind of duffs.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: Your soup joke is getting a lot of love here
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: in the chat. You got a vowel movement, Ozen glorious
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: fifty three months of membership acknowledged me and hit like Yeah,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: we're at three seventy eight, so we fall a little
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: bit short tonight, and Dynamite is not always the night
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: to hit the goal. But if you want it to
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: be this week, you're gonna have to be here with
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: me on Wednesday night because that's the next time I'm
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: live here on this channel with you, will be for
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: the aw Dynamite post show Tomorrow night. I'll be over
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: with JD on his channel for episode one eighteen I
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: believe it's one eighteen of We've done so many of
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: them of Tuesday Night Titans, the best co hosted two
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: man show at all of pro wrestling YouTube, and then
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: live here again on Friday night for SmackDown, and as
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, I will be live as well for
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: Saturday Night's main event not on NBC Peacock Exclusive Peacock
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: in the US. I don't know what's going on internationally,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: if it's still on YouTube, if they're putting it on Netflix,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: and I'm hearing conflicting things about that. I'm not sure.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: Says it's not the hair, it's the missing teeth, gaunt face,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: and Walter White Walter White product bags, but he's always
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: had bags under his eyes to go with the leather
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: skin and faded tats. He's had bags under his eyes
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: as long as he's been in the wrestling business. They've
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: only gotten more pronounced as he's gotten older. I can't
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: remember a time where Ceampunk did not have bags under
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: his eyes. Oscar says he's excited to visit New York
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: City in just a few weeks, So you're smart. You're
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: getting in before the tree goes up and the city
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: gets all crazed with people who come in for the holidays.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: Get in now, in now before it gets crazy. Before
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: you know what, the tree will be up Rockefeller Center
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: of people will be ice skating around. It's hard to
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: ice skate in Rockefeller Center when it's fucking sixty degrees
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: outside like it was today. So oh man, all right, AZ,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: thank you for the pair of super chats here, and
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: it does look like we hit our goal just in
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: the nick of time. Here, Mike says he's solo. Saturday
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: Night's main event is on Netflix here in Ontario, Canada,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: so there it is there you go, at least in Canada.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the same for the UK
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: and other places, but yes, that is the update on
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: Saturday night's main event. And now that we have hit
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: the goal, we can, in fact be the booker. Ladies
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, How do you like that? Now? Time to
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: be the booker. Almost didn't make it, almost didn't make it,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: but we got it in. It's gonna be sixty five
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: degrees here in New York on Thursday. It's gonna be
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: raining all day. It's like ninety five percent chance of rain,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: but it's gonna be sixty five or sixty three. I
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: forgot the last update on the day before Halloween, all right,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: So we begin with our tag team round. We have
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: the acclaimed as they scissor each other. Here we have
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: Anthony Bowens and Max Caster, who are in the process
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: of being reunited on AW television. So let's see who
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: the acclaimed is gonna be stepping into the ring. Who
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: will they be scissoring? Who will the acclaim be scissoring? Here,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be scissoring Hulk Hogan, hul Cogan and Edge
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: are going to be scissored by the acclaimed. Otani is
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: at the plate? Are we about to get some baseball
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: magic from Otani? I think he tied the game, didn't he?
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: This guy's unbelievable edge would be down. Here we go,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: Women's be the Booker. We have Mercedes Monet. I believe
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: that belt that she is wearing in this image is
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: the It's got to be the IWGP Women's Championship, right,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: one of the many championships that she has held, although
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: not at the moment. But we have Mercedes Monet gonna
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: go one on one with Jade Cargill, the woman whose
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: record she just defeated. She just broke. Jade's record is
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: the longest reigning TBS champion in AEW history, and now
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: we will get them in the ring together one on one.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: Mercedes needs to go after the Regina D Wave title.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's going back. That's going back aways
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: the Regina D Wave Championship. I forgot about that. What
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: was that? Twenty twenty one Dynamite the good old days?
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: All right, it's made eventime, baby. We got Bobby Rude,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: the former TNA World Heavyweight Champion, the former NXT champion.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: Bobby Rude is in the main event of Be the
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: Booker and he will be stepping into the ring with him.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: Carmelo Hayes, what do we think about? This is our
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: main event, Bobby Rude against Carmelo Hayes. I'm giving that
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: the bell. That is a clean sweet, folks. It may
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: not be the most star studded main event that we've
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: ever booked, but that's a solid ass main event right there.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: And that the under the buzzer, no list. We did
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: this be the booker and we got ourselves a clean sweet.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: So how about that. I was not expecting that, but
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: it all worked out and super pony. This company can't
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: make it any more obvious who their handpick guys are.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: What does Breaker have that Mellow and Knight don't. Well,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: like you said, I mean, he was hand picked from
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: day one, from the moment he showed up in NXT
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: two point zero, and funny enough, I think the very
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: first segment in the back where he showed up I
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: believe was he shared the screen in that segment I
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: want to say, with La Knight and then they wrestled
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: on TV the following week. From the moment that he
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: debuted on TV, like he just the pedigree that he has.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: He's a Steiner and he's got certain attributes about him. Athletically,
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: he's very athletically gifted. Obviously, he's very fast. We know
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: that very explosive. But they had him hand picked from
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: day one. So when they are in your corner and
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: they put the machine behind you that early in your career,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: and they have you tabbed for greatness, you're going to
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: have an advantage. La Knight. When he came into the company,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: he was already well established elsewhere. He was older, right,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: that's the other thing. He's got youth now, Carmelo Hayes.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know how old is Carmelo Hayes. I don't
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: think Carmelo Hayes is as young as bron Breaker, so
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: you know, with him, age is less of an issue.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: But he didn't have the machine behind him, and the
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: way the bron Breaker did, that's the difference. Duffs VIDs.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: Why did the ghost go to the bar? He went
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: for the booze. I should have used this. He went
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: for the booze. Happy early Halloween everyone, Thank you, Duffs.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: He went for the booze. I'm gonna have to have
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: some of that myself this week, maybe on Friday. We'll see.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: Mellow is twenty nine. Mellow is twenty nine thirty. He's
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: not twenty nine thirty. He's twenty nine or thirty. He
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: is not two thy nine hundred and thirty years old.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: He can't be both, so pick one. But compare that
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: to bron Breaker. I'm sure a Breaker is you know,
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: a lot younger than that. So it's all of those things.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: It's not just age, it's a whole series of things.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: And they took one look at him and they knew
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: from day one. Like with the Rock, they looked at
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: the Rock and from day one they said, this is
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: our blue chip guy, right, third generation Breakers? What second
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: generation would Breaker be? Second or third general? I think
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: second generation, but you know, second generation guy, super athletic.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: They had him pegged from day one. The Winston Slip
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: twenty seven months of membership. Thanks for another fun stream.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: It's my kid's birthday today. Happy birthday, Baby Slip. Shout
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: out to missus Slip. That battle Axe is one tough lady.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: Yes she is. Happy birthday to baby Slip. I hope
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: it's a great one, and shout out to Ta Mama Slip.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: You called her a battle axe, not me. You're also
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: dating yourself with that reference. By the way, do kids
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: use that expression anymore? Battle Axe boots with a five
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: street profits have a cool handshake. Bailey and Lyra have
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: a cool handshake. I'm still workshopping the GWO handshake, hoping
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: to have it ready before GTA six. Well you work
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: on that. Bailey and Lyra do not have a cool handshake,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: by the way, they have a handshake. No one ever
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: said anything about it being cool. But they do have
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: a handshake. So do Jay Usso and Sammy's aim. By
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: the way, born in ninety four? Are you saying Breaker
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: was born in ninety four? So what is he? Let's
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: see Brian Breaker. Let me look him up. He's got
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: to be younger than Carmelo Hayes. See year now, he's
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: twenty eight. He's twenty. I thought he was a couple
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: of years younger than that. He's twenty eight. Carmel O
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: Hayes is thirty one. Yeah, it's fine. I mean, my god,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: thirty one is fine. Look at look at Look at
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: the entire fucking main events scene in this company. It's
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: mostly forty plus. I think thirty one year old Cartmelo
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: Hayes is fine. Jacob Foto is probably mid thirties, and
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: he probably should be headlining a couple of WrestleManias before
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: his time is up. Yeah, the h thing in WWE
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: really shouldn't be that much of an issue considering how
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: fucking old most of their main events are. Yeah, the Turnerbot,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: I've said that before. The thing about Breaker that's fun
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: to watch. He has an explosiveness to him that I
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: haven't seen since Goldberg and WCW, you know, beyond the
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: in fact they have the same move and Breaker uses
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: the spear. There's just an explosiveness to his offense and
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: I noticed it in NXT and it's one of the
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: things that makes him stand out on the main roster
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: because you really don't have anybody else, or not too
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: many people who who work like that. Anyway, Thank you
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: guys for getting us to be the booker. Thank you
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: for the questions. Again. I'll be live with you here
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday night. Go back and check out the clips
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: that have hit the channel today. There'll be another one
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: going up tomorrow that'll be a fun one. That'll be
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: a fun one. But you could also check it out
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: on the sound off from this past Sunday, super Pony.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: It's the last word here. When Breaker turns face, it
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: will be Big Dog Roman all over again. He will
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: be booed out of the buildings. This company never learns
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: its lessons. I don't think that's going to be the case.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: And I think the biggest difference is that Roman. He
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: was part of the Shield, but Roman never really had
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: a heel run until well after the point that the
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: fans had already started booing him out of the buildings
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: very early on. Vince McMahon loved what he saw and
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: the blue contact lenses. He had a vision for what
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: he wanted this man to be, and the fans rebelled
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: against it. And I think with Breaker it's a little
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: bit different. You know, they started him out. It was
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: when he came up, he was a baby face and
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: then he kind of went heel, and then he was
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: kind of a tweener and it was just very They
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: didn't know what he wanted him to be. And now
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: he's you know, he's firmly in the heel role. Fans
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: won't cheer for him if they want to, and that's
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: the way to go. It's like Dom, you know, Dom
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: is a great heel and the fans are starting to
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: I say starting to. I mean it really goes back
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: to WrestleMania. This year, they've been slowly coming around to
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: him cheering him in a lot of different places, and
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: eventually he's going to make a great baby face, but
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: there's no reason to rush into it. And I feel
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: the same way about bron Breaker. You know, now that
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: Seth Rollins went down with his injury, one thing they
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: could do is they don't have to have an eye
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: towards when do we turn him babyface? When does he
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: break out of the vision and turn on Seth or
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: when does Seth turn on him? Seth's gone now this
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: should be Breaker's crew. That's one of the big issues
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: I've had with what they've done the last couple of weeks,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: where he just fell right in line. You know, Hayman's
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: pulling the strings and he just teaches another guy in
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: the vision now and he should have taken more of
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: an assertive role. But he'll be a heel, I think
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: for a while. Yet there's no reason to turn him
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: babyface because there's no one for him to turn on.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: This is his crew now, So you could kind of
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: see the silver lining in it where they no longer
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: have to look at this as oh, when does he
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: turn on Seth? Well, Seth is gone, so you really
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: have to think like that anymore. All right, be well,
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: stay safe. I will see you guys back here live
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: on YouTube very soon. For more sound off, hit that
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: like button on your way out and I will see
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: you for TNT tomorrow night and Dynamite on Wednesday. Until then,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: take care, guys,
