  Welcome back friends. I'm evil and this is my third
• 0:19
  place podcast. Is that time of year again when
• 0:22
  all of us wrestling fans point to the imaginary sign in the sky
• 0:28
  and scream WrestleMania? Every year we compare it to the
• 0:35
  Super Bowl, the Grammys, the Oscars, even the MTVVMA is back
• 0:40
  when they still play music. Yeah.
• 0:43
  In February, we call the Super Bowl the WrestleMania Football
• 0:46
  for a reason. That's that's me.
• 0:50
  I guess it's just me. I don't know.
• 0:51
  Whoever does it, that's great. So this weekend we're locked in
• 0:58
  the biggest party of April, not just because it's my birthday
• 1:00
  month, but happy WrestleMania weekend to you too, ma'am.
• 1:06
  Happy WrestleMania. Weekend.
• 1:09
  I'm so happy it's the twisted season of backdrops and back.
• 1:15
  Lots. Damn, I haven't used that word
• 1:17
  in a while. I.
• 1:19
  Know I need to make an image of that out of that again.
• 1:22
  Joining me for this moment, Education.
• 1:25
  One of my favorite people to talk wrestling with.
• 1:28
  Please welcome back to the show Menace.
• 1:31
  Hi, everybody. How you doing?
• 1:34

  It felt like it would never come, and then now it's here.
• 1:42
  It's here. It's finally here.
• 1:44
  We're we're, we're in the homestretch.
• 1:50
  So let's start by saying asking you this How do you celebrate
• 1:53
  WrestleMania at home? I try to commandeer the TVI just
• 2:00
  to know it's working and I want to watch it like live.
• 2:05
  I was like, you know, I don't want to wait because what we
• 2:08
  will normally do with all the other PL.
• 2:11
  ES and even WrestleMania last year is we'll wait till like
• 2:17
  it's like an hour and a half to two hours in.
• 2:23
  So that that way when we turn it on, we can Fast forward through
• 2:27
  some of the stuff. But because we have commercials,
• 2:29
  we have to wait. But I don't want to wait because
• 2:37
  it's a really long daily, long weekend.
• 2:41
  So if I'm, if we miss like the first hour, you know, I'll, I'll
• 2:46
  go back to it. But it's like, I just want to
• 2:51
  watch it live. Red says hi.
• 2:55

• 2:57
  She's. On TikTok.
• 2:59
  She's she's, she's with us. She's basically with us all, all
• 3:03
  of her socials with us. So that's how you celebrate.
• 3:12
  And we usually try to, you know, do something, you know, for food
• 3:15
  so we don't have to worry about cooking too much.
• 3:17
  So we put out like, you know, like just charcuter boards or
• 3:21
  you know, like. I need the full menu ma'am.

  Pizza rolls? Let's see, last time we did like
• 3:37
  those Italian grinder sandwiches, so we paused the TV

• 3:45
  like melt the cheese on top of them, you know?
• 3:48
  And then we mixed up the slaw that goes with it.
• 3:53

  Oh my God. And then we.
• 7:31
  Just saw this guy, just just real quick.
• 7:34
  Seems like so. It's WrestleMania season.
• 7:36
  Tell family I'm going to tell you something.
• 7:39
  This is my schedule on Monday. From night, you know, from 7 to
• 7:45
  10, don't call me. Exactly.
• 7:48
  On Tuesday, from 7 to 10, don't call me, don't call me.
• 7:53
  Don't like. The only day that I will be
• 7:55
  available will be Thursday because he said I guess DNA is
• 8:00
  not doing anything he wants to watch.
• 8:02
  So he's like, I don't worry about it, but he's like, I'll be
• 8:05
  watching AEW on Wednesday. Don't call me Friday.
• 8:09
  It's Smackdown. Don't call me.
• 8:13
  It's crazy. Like, yeah, yeah, that's about
• 8:17
  right. He's like, it's Saturday, don't
• 8:20
  even think about it. Sunday, don't even think about
• 8:23
  it. I am not available.
• 8:24
  He goes, and then next Monday I'm not available from 7:00 to
• 8:28
  10:00. You know, he's like, don't call
• 8:32
  me. Don't call me ever anyways.

  I tell you that. That's funny.
• 8:40
  Like definitely that's everybody's schedule for
• 8:42
  WrestleMania. You can hear her.
• 8:44
  Oh, she can hear you. Laura can hear you.
• 8:47
  OK, well, I thought I just send you the the link on YouTube if
• 8:51
  you're interested in going there.
• 8:54
  Red says she loves Pokémon cards.
• 8:56
  So do we. So do we.
• 8:59
  For those that don't know, I did a ASMR version of Pokémon lore
• 9:04
  last night and I recorded it and I, like, posted it today.
• 9:08
  It's up on the YouTube page. Go check it out.
• 9:12
  You're gonna love it. OK, Anyways, maybe I'll do
• 9:18
  another one about wrestling. Remember when C and Punk and
• 9:23
  John Cena got into it and he laid out the pipe on the summer
• 9:31
  a Punk? And then we threw it from there
• 9:33
  and OK, OK, that's no, no, we're good.
• 9:35
  We're good, we're good. I'm also going to do Marvel
• 9:39
  Rivals lore and whispering. It could happen.
• 9:42
  Whatever, but let's continue. Let's continue.
• 9:50
  OK, so before we get into the madness, I want to share
• 9:53
  something personal because we I just like, spoke about it
• 9:56
  earlier, right in a few moments ago, back in 2021, I was
• 10:00
  diagnosed with diabetes. And ever since, I've been in a
• 10:03
  different kind of wrestling match, not with steel chairs or
• 10:07
  ladders, but with sugar levels, meds and all the stuff people
• 10:10
  don't always see. I started using the hashtag
• 10:13
  wrestling with diabetes as a way to raise awareness and stay real
• 10:17
  about the journey. So go check that out.
• 10:19
  Like it's really fun. I'm doing dances and not
• 10:22
  everybody else saw doing it with me as well.
• 10:24
  I celebrate the anniversary of my diagnosis not because it's
• 10:26
  fun, but because a reminder that I'm still here, still fighting,
• 10:32
  still dancing on TikTok, still live streaming with y'all, and
• 10:35
  still sharing the space with the dopest community out there.
• 10:39
  It's all of you guys, the M3P community.
• 10:41
  This hashtag is for all of us in the ring together, where you're
• 10:44
  managing diabetes, supporting someone, or just learning.
• 10:47
  Tag up. You're not alone.
• 10:50
  And hey, if you're living with diabetes, this ones for you.
• 10:53
  You are not defined by diagnosis.
• 10:56
  You are defined by your resilience, by your courage, by
• 10:59
  the fact that every day you show up and fight a battle most
• 11:02
  people don't even see, every finger prick, every insulin
• 11:06
  dose, every mindful choice. That's a victory, a quiet kind
• 11:10
  of strength that speaks volumes. You're not alone, this you are
• 11:15
  seen. You are strong and you, you're
• 11:19
  unstoppable. Say it again, louder.
• 11:24
  You're unstoppable, So breathe deep, take your time and
• 11:32
  remember you've made it through 100% of your hardest days.
• 11:36
  You're still here, and that means something.
• 11:39
  Keep going. We're we're right here with you.
• 11:45
  Yay. Thank you, Gemma.
• 11:50
  Welcome in. How you doing?
• 11:53
  All right, let's just get through it.
• 11:55
  Let's just get into it. Wrestle Mania 41 is coming at
• 11:58
  you at a two night event on Saturday, April 19th and Sunday,
• 12:01
  April 20th, 2025 live from Allegiant Stadium in Paradise,
• 12:05
  Nevada. I am just going to get tired of
• 12:09
  saying this over and over again. Freaking Nevada.
• 12:14
  I've said all weekend it's the second time Wrestle Mania hits
• 12:17
  the biggest area. Shout out to Mania 9 at Steve's
• 12:19
  Palace in 93. Although I was in the parking
• 12:21
  lot. Yeah, we heard behind the scenes
• 12:26
  stories. I wish I didn't know the behind
• 12:28
  the scenes stories because I actually thought it was inside a
• 12:32
  Coliseum. Umm, no, it was outside the
• 12:35
  parking lot. Great.
• 12:37
  Really. Ah.
• 12:39
  That's how they made it through. The whole yeah, weird.
• 12:43
  This year's Manual stream via pay-per-view, and we'll be the
• 12:46
  first to stream on Netflix thanks to these 10 year rights
• 12:49
  deal that kicked off in January. And there goes the bells again.
• 12:56
  I know, I know. It's also the first WrestleMania
• 12:59
  to land on Easter weekend and the first to feature CM Punk in
• 13:02
  a match since 2013 and his first ever WrestleMania main event.
• 13:06
  And let's not forget it's also John Cena's final WrestleMania
• 13:10
  before he hangs up in the booth for good.
• 13:12
  Wild crazy. Oh my God, I'm shook it one of
• 13:18
  the official theme song this year is timeless by the weekend
• 13:22
  and Playboy Cardi marking a record six straight years.
• 13:25
  The weekend has soundtrack WrestleMania.
• 13:29
  I mention this always every year.
• 13:32
  Our friend Alexandria once dropped the theory.
• 13:35
  I can't stop thinking about. She believes After Hours, Don FM
• 13:40
  and Hurry Up Tomorrow from her form a trilogy, a story of
• 13:44
  death, purgatory and rebirth. And you know what?
• 13:48
  Listening back to those albums and we're watching past Manias
• 13:50
  with those themes in mind, it hit different.
• 13:54
  Here's how it all connects. All right, we got to go back to
• 13:57
  WrestleMania to be 6. What happened?
• 13:59
  When was it? What year was it?
• 14:03
  36 so then six years ago. So 2050, 2020, 36 was 2020,
• 14:12
  yeah. Wow, yeah, feels like forever I.
• 14:21
  Know I'm thinking 10 years my bad 10 years we're. 41 we're 41,
• 14:25
  man. I was like, what are you talking
• 14:26
  about? 2015 We're live, pal.
• 14:34
  I know all. Right.
• 14:37
  WrestleMania 36 was 2020. What happened in 2020?
• 14:41
  That would have been the pandemic.
• 14:42
  Pandemic blinding light played over the eerie fan less arena
• 14:46
  during COVID and nostalgic, haunting, perfectly eerie.
• 14:50
  Nope. Kind of little connection there,
• 14:52
  you know, like, yeah, OK, cool. Let's just play this song over
• 14:56
  WrestleMania 36 Blinding Lights. All right, cool.
• 15:00
  Then they went with WrestleMania 37.
• 15:01
  Save your tears and set the tone for a limited crowd returning
• 15:05
  full of loss, hearing, healing and hope.
• 15:10
  WrestleMania 38 sacrifice it match Romans run that's the
• 15:14
  final boss. That track Rootless,
• 15:19
  WrestleMania 39 Less Than 0 and Take My Breath captured Cody's
• 15:22
  journey and the Sammy KO arc beautifully.
• 15:25
  WrestleMania 40 popular and double fantasy gave the fame
• 15:28
  versus legacy vibe. Big Cody payoff and WrestleMania
• 15:31
  41 timeless. A song about carving your name
• 15:34
  to forever a legend returns a veteran rise again.
• 15:37
  This feels like legacy in motion.
• 15:43
  Yeah, it does. That's right.
• 15:45
  And that's how it all connects. Like we I, that's honestly a
• 15:50
  whole other episode waiting to happen and I'm going to dive
• 15:53
  into it and really want to. Minneapolis, MN was also
• 15:58
  finalist to host the event at U.S. bank Stadium.
• 16:01
  IS. Proponents said they had been
• 16:02
  informed that decision to place the event Las Vegas IRA was
• 16:06
  driven by a change in direction by new ownership following the
• 16:10
  2023 merger of the Las Vegas based Ultimate Fighting
• 16:13
  Championship, as TKO Group Holdings, controlled by UFC's
• 16:16
  previous sole owner Endeavour U.S. bank Stadium would in turn
• 16:21
  get summer slam for 2026. And what's 2026 going to look
• 16:25
  like it? So our summer slam Two nights,
• 16:30
  two nights so. Is it this year that?
• 16:34
  It is OK this year and then yeah.
• 16:37
  So it's from here on out. It's two nights.
• 16:43
  Crazy. Yeah, I can't wait to do that
• 16:50
  two night event. Let's start with night one.
• 16:54
  Obviously, match on the cards are the War Raiders Erica and
• 16:58
  the Ivar versus the New Day. Kobe Kingston and Xavier Woods
• 17:00
  in the tacking match for the World Tacking Championship.
• 17:03
  After removing Biggie from New Day on the December 2nd, 2024
• 17:06
  episode of Raw Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, they set their
• 17:09
  sights on the World Tagging Championship held by the War
• 17:12
  Raiders, Eric and Ivar. During a title match between the
• 17:15
  two teams on the April 7th, 2025 episode, Woods attempted to hit
• 17:19
  Eric with a steel chair. However, the referee saw Eric
• 17:22
  inherently hit Woods with the chair instead.
• 17:24
  Thus, the New Day won via DQ, but since champions did not
• 17:28
  change via DQ or count out unless stipulated, the War
• 17:32
  Raiders remained champions after the match.
• 17:35
  The New Day attack the War Raiders only be stopped by the
• 17:38
  officials. On April 11th, Roger manager
• 17:41
  Adam Pierce announced that the War Raiders would defend the
• 17:43
  World Tacking Championship against the New Day in the
• 17:45
  rematch at WrestleMania 41. Even interested in this match?
• 17:52
  I am. I am, but I'm not.
• 17:56
  You know, I I guess they should have been on WrestleMania in the
• 18:04
  1st place. Yeah.
• 18:06
  You know, because I feel that any championship match that
• 18:12
  involves belts needs to be on the PLE.
• 18:17
  Yes. Yeah.
• 18:18
  So I'm just tired of the new day, you know, complaining, you
• 18:24
  know, we're the best with the best.
• 18:26
  Well, you know what, Joe? It you know, yeah, you guys are
• 18:29
  heels now. But you know, stop complaining
• 18:32
  about it. Put the work in.
• 18:35
  Right. So I'm going with the War
• 18:38
  Raiders. I actually want to see the New
• 18:46
  Day as heels win the championship belt and see what
• 18:51
  they do with them. Like they've been faces long
• 18:56
  enough to like the point where now we're just like, OK, what
• 19:04
  can they do with heals besides complain and not be able to
• 19:11
  talk? And the whole thing with Biggie
• 19:15
  and like, I feel like I Biggie should be a part of this too.
• 19:18
  Yeah, I say he comes down with the War Raiders.
• 19:25
  Right. I wish he'll be.
• 19:28
  They'll be asking him in the booth like, hey, who do you
• 19:30
  think is going to win this match?
• 19:32
  Yeah. War Raiders.
• 19:34
  But my boys, I love my boys, even though they still treated
• 19:37
  me like shit. So you know my boy, I still root
• 19:41
  for them right, all right, so you got war Raiders.
• 19:47
  I got new day the. New day.
• 19:52
  Next match Rey Mysterio versus from the Gulf of America EDA
• 19:59
  Grande Americano. Throughout late 2/20/24 and
• 20:05
  early 25, Chad Gable went on a losing streak against several
• 20:09
  luchadors. Gable subsequently took a
• 20:12
  sabbatical from the to solve his lucha liver problem.
• 20:15
  On the March 10th up into the raw and unidentified luchador
• 20:18
  with an American style mask or something.
• 20:19
  Gable's fashion American made cost the Latino world order a
• 20:23
  tagging match. Gabe was denied that he was the
• 20:25
  luchador in question. The mass wrestler named El
• 20:28
  Grande Minicano then defeated Lee in the debut match on the
• 20:30
  Mark 24 Episode 2 Weeks later, Americano and American made
• 20:35
  members. The Kree brothers defeated the
• 20:37
  LWO Joaquin Wild and Crews, a total in a six man taxi match.
• 20:41
  After I need we now put a piece of metal in Americano's mask to
• 20:44
  use against Lee. Later that night, Mysterio said
• 20:47
  that Americano made a mockery out of the art and tradition of
• 20:50
  the Calibra and we tested a match against him, which Raj and
• 20:53
  her manager and that appears accepted, allowing Mr. to choose
• 20:56
  the place and he chose WrestleMania 41.
• 20:59
  I love the trolling of Gable, a mariachi version of the American
• 21:07
  song, the American theme song. And it's all like in in the
• 21:16
  violin type of mariachi vase based on her and I heard it.
• 21:20
  I was just like this mother. That's like, I love it, yes.
• 21:28
  It was hilarious, but if it's not, it's obviously him.
• 21:36
  Somebody already took a picture of his tattoo the back of.
• 21:39
  Right, right. And like, yeah, it's him.
• 21:42
  It's him if they if they do the whole thing where it's somebody
• 21:50
  else under the mask, like later on, all right, fine, you got us.
• 21:55
  But like we should have seen that one coming.
• 21:58
  But if he hey, I see Grande Chad Gable, I'm not going to call him
• 22:06
  Grande McConnell, Chad Gable. I see Chad Gable.
• 22:10
  Win this Gable, right? I see Chad Wing winning this and
• 22:14
  stuff. Yeah, You know, I think, I don't
• 22:20
  think they're going to let him lose his first WrestleMania, you
• 22:24
  know, but I hope that they catch the metal before it goes in, you
• 22:34
  know? Oh, of course.
• 22:37
  Because then he'll be like, oh, you're going no, no, no, no, I
• 22:39
  didn't. I didn't do it, you know.
• 22:41
  I don't know how they got here, you know, but.
• 22:46
  Wow, I I'm like, so Eddie and not Eddie.
• 22:51
  I'm sorry. Ray comes out with some crazy
• 22:54
  entrances. Mm.
• 22:57
  Hmm. So I can't wait to see what he
• 22:59
  has to do, what he doesn't, what he's gonna do for this is your
• 23:03
  recipe. He's already, he's already done
• 23:05
  the Lowrider. The Eddie thing.
• 23:07
  Yeah, maybe he'll come out with the with the mariachi band.
• 23:15
  There you go with the mariachi band.
• 23:17
  With the. With the Mexican one.
• 23:20
  Yeah. Who else?
• 23:25
  And then so far, OK. And now I know I'm late to the
• 23:32
  game, but has he come out with whoever is doing his song I.
• 23:37
  Don't think so. 'Cause I know since I've been
• 23:41
  watching, you know, he had, he's done other things.
• 23:45
  So like he had, you know, his theme song playing, you know,
• 23:48
  while he came down in the Low rider and I actually didn't he
• 23:51
  have Eddie's theme. Song, Yeah, yeah, no, I don't
• 23:57
  think yeah, I remember him doing any of his songs.
• 23:59
  The 6191 OK. Or maybe you could have somebody
• 24:05
  do it, because isn't it all like Deaf Rebel or whoever's doing
• 24:09
  the now the song now? Yeah, yeah.
• 24:12
  Fortunately, nobody likes them. Nobody like Death Rebel.
• 24:22
  Okay, so I said CAD cable. Yes, yeah.
• 24:29
  Unfortunately. All right.
• 24:31
  Unfortunately. But I think if if he does win,
• 24:36
  then it just, you know, keeps the feud going.
• 24:38
  Right, right, right. So having Ray win, all it does
• 24:42
  is, you know, kind of end the feud on who's the greatest
• 24:46
  luchador so. Exactly next match.
• 24:51
  I'm looking forward to this. Yeah.
• 24:54
  Jake Carr, Gilbert, Naomi. I'm looking forward to this.
• 24:57
  Yeah, me too. On the November 27th, 2024
• 25:01
  episode of Smackdown, Jay Cargill was found attacked by an
• 25:03
  unknown assailant in the parking lot and was ruled unable to
• 25:06
  compete for the foreseeable future.
• 25:08
  During Cargill's absence, Naomi volunteered to replace Cargill
• 25:11
  as one of half of the WE Women's Tacking Champions alongside
• 25:14
  Bianca Bellaire. Naomi Bellaire also launched
• 25:16
  their own investigation into the attack on Cargill investigation.
• 25:22
  They came to the assumption that Liv Morgan and recovered
• 25:24
  drinkers attack Cargill and agreed to defend the
• 25:26
  championship against them On February 24th, 2025 episode of
• 25:29
  Raw where they lost the title. Bel Air and Naomi didn't qualify
• 25:32
  for the Women's Elimination Chamber at the namesake event
• 25:36
  be. However, before the match began,
• 25:38
  Cargo made her return. We called it and visually
• 25:41
  attacked Naomi, who was deemed medically unable to compete in
• 25:44
  the match. That girl got thrown into From
• 25:49
  Here to There. I know he got tore.
• 25:53
  Up and you. And of course, Bel Air's
• 25:56
  reaction to it is like, Oh my. God, I know.
• 26:02
  On the following episodes, Mack Then we revealed the truth that
• 26:05
  she was in fact Cargill the talker and regretted not doing
• 26:09
  it sooner, thus turning hero for the first time since 2016.
• 26:13
  Bel Air subsequently walked on Naomi, ending their partnership.
• 26:18
  In the following weeks, Cargill and Naomi continuously attacked
• 26:20
  each other, leading to Mac, Noah and her manager, and they called
• 26:23
  the schedule of the match between them at WrestleMania 41.
• 26:25
  Who are we kidding? Gage is going to beat that ass
• 26:32
  like non-stop, non-stop the entire time.
• 26:38
  It was like as soon as she took out Naomi at Survivor at the
• 26:43
  domination chambers, like he just knew, oh, if they were to
• 26:46
  fight, Jay is going to win this. Yeah, she is going to like from
• 26:51
  start to finish, beat that ass. I really think that it needs to
• 26:58
  be. I think would be cool to do a
• 27:00
  street fight them do a street fight, you know, just leave it.
• 27:04
  Let them go at it. That's right, let them go at it.
• 27:08
  Yeah, try. But Naomi has the the bloodline
• 27:15
  backing her up, of course. So they're like, they taught you
• 27:18
  how to fight, so you better fight.
• 27:24
  So Jade it is. Yeah, I just feel like, yeah,
• 27:27
  you came back for a reason. Here's your reason, Here's your
• 27:30
  redemption. And like, true to us that you
• 27:33
  know how to wrestle now. And I'm pretty sure everybody's
• 27:37
  gonna be like, she still can't wrestle.
• 27:40
  Like she was limited and moved when she was in the tag team and
• 27:43
  now here. We go.
• 27:45
  The storm is coming. Yeah.
• 27:51
  I've been holding this in since last year when I said, oh,
• 27:53
  there's going to start talking about storm.
• 27:55
  Who weathered the storm? Will Naomi weather the storm or
• 27:58
  will Jay Cargill change courses and bring the Thunder?
• 28:06
  There it is. Yeah.
• 28:09
  Jay Cargill. Yep.
• 28:13
  Damn. Next match for United States
• 28:16
  Championship LA Knight versus Jacob Fatu after LA Knight
• 28:21
  regained the United States Championship of March 7th
• 28:22
  episode of Smackdown, several of us have started stated their
• 28:25
  intention to challenge Knight for the title, including the
• 28:28
  Bloodlines Jacob 2 on the mark 21 episode Bronze Droman, who
• 28:32
  had been embroiled in a rivalry with Bloodline, fought to
• 28:35
  Solaceko and Tamatonga. The second Bloodline, I'm sorry
• 28:37
  Bloodline 2 Point O for the past few months defeated fought to be
• 28:42
  a DQ after Sukho and Tama attacked Droman, who as a result
• 28:45
  are in title match against Knight that was scheduled for
• 28:47
  the following week which ended in no contest after 5 two attack
• 28:51

• 28:54
  defeated Stroman in the Last Man Standing match, earning a United
• 28:57
  States Champions match against Knight at WrestleMania 41.
• 29:00
  Let's go. This is going to be a good one.
• 29:06
  This is the one. This is the one.
• 29:09
  This is the one right here. Yeah.
• 29:12
  This is the one. I I like LA Knight.
• 29:15
  I've liked him since I saw him from NXT and then I didn't I
• 29:21
  wasn't into his whole, you know, maximum male model model.
• 29:26
  I was like, Nah, let him just be LA nice.
• 29:29
  But you know, Jacob is a really good athlete for, you know, his
• 29:38
  size. I'm like, he's amazing.
• 29:40
  And the fact that he can get down and, oh, like, real quick,
• 29:48
  you know, so he's pretty light on his feet.
• 29:52
  So I gotta say, Jacob. Jacob.
• 29:57
  I gotta say, Jacob. Yes, ma'am.
• 30:00
  You know what I think about this?
• 30:01
  You know what I think about this match, right?
• 30:04
  What? Yeah, Yep.
• 30:16
  Yeah. Fashion head banger.
• 30:18
  Yes, it is. It's going to be.
• 30:22
  I am really I'm glad he came. You know, Jacob came to WWE
• 30:28
  because I miss seeing him, you know, and all the other and when
• 30:31
  he was in other company companies, but I'm impressed by
• 30:38
  him. I'm.
• 30:40
  Going to save that. I'm not going to click it out.
• 30:41
  I'm just going to save it for the next one because I know it's
• 30:44
  going to be more and I haven't heard it in a while.
• 30:46
  So yeah, like I haven't posted in a while.
• 30:49
  It's like, hey, I don't I don't do audio clips anymore because
• 30:53
  of how the setup is now. It's like it takes too long, but
• 30:56
  hey, let's do a setup of this one only.
• 31:02
  Yeah, where are we? So Jacob R to yeah, like in
• 31:09
  regardless is someone's going to get hurt.
• 31:13
  Yeah, I'm saying Jacob went to the.
• 31:15
  United States they he doesn't go too far like he's done before
• 31:22
  and you know, done multiple and multiple of his, you know, his
• 31:25
  backflip to where they're bleeding or anything like that.
• 31:30
  I think the ref needs to stop it and be like, you know what he
• 31:34
  won get? Over.
• 31:37
  With he won. Stop it.
• 31:40
  Oh, here comes my favorite magic in the world.
• 31:46
  I can't wait for this to be over.
• 31:48
  Tiffany Stratton versus Charlotte Flair for the women's
• 31:50
  world Championship at the Royal Rumble Smackdowns.
• 31:52
  Charlotte Flair won the women's where Rumble match, earning a
• 31:55
  world championship match at her choice at WrestleMania 41.
• 31:58
  Of course, Flair supposedly appeared on the following of the
• 32:02
  Raw NXT and smacking around each other each brand's respective
• 32:05
  champions before finally choosing to challenge for If
• 32:07
  Tiffany strive for Smackdown Women's Championship at resume
• 32:09
  41. What she said like, I want you
• 32:13
  to inspire me. Like inspire me, make me choose
• 32:19
  you. Like.
• 32:20
  She was of course she was scared of Julia.
• 32:24
  Yeah. Damn.
• 32:27
  She's like, she saw Tiffany's, like, oh.
• 32:30
  You'll do. This one's easier.
• 32:31
  Yeah, you'll do. You'll.
• 32:33
  Do. Yeah.
• 32:36
  And over the course, this doesn't say anything about this
• 32:39
  at all, but over the course of the weeks took over the weeks, I
• 32:44
  hated this entire thing. I really did.
• 32:48
  Yeah. They're making Tiffany look
• 32:50
  weak. She's making Tiffany look weak.
• 32:54
  And it's just like so overwhelming to see Tiffany just
• 32:58
  like get bulldozed by Charlotte. Like come on, you like sure,
• 33:07
  Tiffany like ran through the entire division and then here
• 33:11
  comes Charlotte. When's the rumble comes back
• 33:14
  when the rumble and then beat her up and then she's hold her
• 33:19
  stomach again forever going to mention that like she's holding
• 33:25
  her stomach. She's holding her stomach.
• 33:27
  It's not even hurting. Come on, stop doing that.
• 33:30
  Be a heel again after this, please.
• 33:32
  Be a heel again. I can't stand that.
• 33:34
  I really can't. Tiffany, please win.
• 33:40
  I don't ever want to see Charlotte in a for a belt again,
• 33:42
  unless it's the United States or the other one.
• 33:44
  The intercongal. Intercongal.
• 33:46
  OK, yeah, I don't think I see Tiffany should tell her true
• 33:55
  style. You know, she's acted, but I
• 33:58
  think this is part of her plan, you know, to act like, oh, you
• 34:03
  know, I can't I can't do it, you know, I'm weak.
• 34:07
  But I think she should like, just turn around and show what
• 34:12
  she thought and why she passed that belt.
• 34:16
  Yeah, you know what I mean? For sure, make it make it a good
• 34:19
  match. You know, don't don't give it to
• 34:23
  Charlotte without a fight. No, I mean, she can win it, you
• 34:31
  know, at Backlash. So they'll let Tiffany win.
• 34:35
  Let her win her first WrestleMania and then that,
• 34:38
  well, there wasn't she, No, she wasn't there last year.
• 34:40
  She was. She won an award last year,
• 34:43
  yeah, but this year let her win the WrestleMania and then lose
• 34:50
  it at Backlash. But still, I don't want to see
• 34:55
  Tiffany his face anymore. I'm done with it.
• 34:57
  Except for the fact that like the whole Charlotte thing, like
• 35:00
  taking her over and like, you know, making her feel weak, make
• 35:04
  her look weak and stuff. And then Tiffany coming back
• 35:07
  with that burn about her being alone forever.
• 35:11
  Like 03. Trying to trying to tie up with
• 35:15
  her dad. That's at least one record is
• 35:21
  getting broken that night. Records are being broken by Rick
• 35:28
  Flair. Rick Flair's records are being
• 35:30
  broken. Wow.
• 35:31
  All right. Final decision.
• 35:36
  Tiffany Stratton. Tiffany.
• 35:38
  Tiffany OK, this the main event? No, it's not Gunther.
• 35:43
  Versus. Jay USO and Gunther versus Jay
• 35:46
  USO for the world heavyweight. Another match.
• 35:49
  I'm just like waiting for a 10 already at Saturday Night's Main
• 35:52
  event. What is that?
• 35:54
  3567838 Country defeated Jay used to retain the Ross World
• 35:59
  Heavy Championship. USO then won the men's Royal
• 36:01
  Rumble match at the Royal Rumble following week, earning a World
• 36:04
  Championship match of his choice at For Something 41.
• 36:07
  While not making an official decision, USO confronted Gunther
• 36:10
  on the following Raw, where Gunther stated that USO should
• 36:12
  choose Mack Now's World Champion because he had already defeated
• 36:15
  USO and instead deserved to defend the title against someone
• 36:17
  like John Cena. After making an appearance on
• 36:21
  the week Smackdown, who opened the February 10th episode of Raw
• 36:24
  where he was attacked by Gunther, who so subsequently
• 36:27
  decided he would challenge Gunther for the World
• 36:29
  Heavyweight Championship at 41. If you just watched Raw this
• 36:38
  past week, Gunther's promo, like I'm like, yeah, he's not losing.
• 36:51
  Yeah. If he loses, I don't.
• 36:55
  What the hell was that promo about, man?
• 36:57
  What the hell? But he's not losing.
• 37:01
  Let's get real here. There's no way.
• 37:04
  No. And it's like, as much as I want
• 37:06
  you made it to happen, it's like, it's still like, no,
• 37:10
  there's no way. Now I'm going with Jake because
• 37:16
  he was my winner so. He was your winner at the river.
• 37:20
  Bowl he was my winner at so I'm riding that E train so.
• 37:26
  Riding the E train. That's right.
• 37:28
  OK, right. Live, right.
• 37:30
  Live. Right.
• 37:31
  That return. It's OK.
• 37:32
  Yeah. Just, you know, you can jump off
• 37:35
  if we get derailed. Oh.
• 37:45
  You're so funny. All right, so you got Jay.
• 37:49
  I got Jay all. Right, I got Gunther and the
• 37:53
  main event, which I'm so proud of.
• 37:56
  Roman. I started crying.
• 37:57
  I really did like. Oh my God, my boy.
• 38:00
  Got it finally. Hey, Leanna's in the chat.
• 38:08
  How you doing, Leanna? Hi Leanna.
• 38:12
  This hair is out of control anyway.
• 38:17
  What the hell? Roman Reigns with CM Punk versus
• 38:28
  Heyman. I mean Roman Reigns versus CM
• 38:31
  Punk with Paul Heyman versus Seth Rollins.
• 38:34
  Upon CM Punk returned at Survivor Series War Games in
• 38:37
  November 2023, he immediately became a target of Seth Rollins.
• 38:41
  Unable to compete for several months after tearing his tricep
• 38:43
  between Four Bro Rumble, Punk returned from injury and had
• 38:46
  various encounters Rollins further enraging him.
• 38:50
  In November, Punk joined Roman Reigns team as his fifth member
• 38:53
  at that year's Survivor Series War Games.
• 38:54
  In the War Games match on behalf of his former manager and Grains
• 38:57
  special counsel Paul Heyman, with Heyman owing Punk a favor
• 39:00
  for agreeing to the match, which they won, Punk became the target
• 39:03
  of Rollins of Rollins once again due to Rollins hatred of both
• 39:07
  Reigns and Punk. This culminated a match on Ross
• 39:10
  Netflix premiere in which Punk defeated Rollins at the 25
• 39:13
  Rumble. Punk eliminated both rings and
• 39:15
  Rollins before his own elimination.
• 39:19
  The three brawled at ringside, where Rollins performed A2 foot
• 39:21
  stomp on rings That's horrible, ruling him unable to compete for
• 39:27
  the next few weeks. Punk also eliminated Rollins
• 39:30
  from the men's Elimination Chamber match.
• 39:32
  Following his elimination. Rollins subsequently performed a
• 39:35
  stomp on Punk, causing him the match.
• 39:37
  On the following episode of Rob, Punk spoke about his future to
• 39:40
  compete in a WrestleMania main event before brawling with
• 39:42
  Rollins. They then face each other the
• 39:44
  following week in a steel cage match with Rollins, one after a
• 39:46
  returning Reigns pulled him out of the cage to attack him as
• 39:49
  revenge from the Royal Rumble. Then enraged by Heyman tending
• 39:52
  to Punk in the ring, oh boy. Reigns also attacked Punk after
• 39:58
  a brawl between the three men on the March 21 episode of Rust
• 40:00
  Smackdown. A triple threat match was
• 40:02
  scheduled for WrestleMania 41. During the contract signed the
• 40:05
  following week, Heyman announced that this match with main event
• 40:09
  WrestleMania. They both were crying while
• 40:12
  grateful for finally competing in the Mini Man in WrestleMania.
• 40:15
  Punk stated that it was not the favor he was owed from Heyman.
• 40:18
  On the April 4th episode of Smack Down, Punk revealed his
• 40:20
  favor which was that Heyman would be in his corner at
• 40:23
  WrestleMania much to range this May.
• 40:27
  And then we get to last week to this week on Raw.
• 40:35
  I have a theory what's. Your theory?
• 40:39
  Seth, that's going to join Rob the Rock and John Cena.
• 40:44
  You think so? Yeah, he said keywords.
• 40:49
  He said keywords. He added a little sprinkle here
• 40:51
  and there. He said.
• 40:52
  Some words he said. It was best for business.
• 40:57
  He's lately been wearing a vest that looks just like the rock he
• 41:01
  wore the the turtleneck, the black turtleneck with the chain
• 41:07
  shirt. And why is he like doing rock
• 41:11
  stuff at Elevation Chamber? He wanted Punk to die and let
• 41:20
  Lena win, like, And they haven't even done any interaction.
• 41:28
  Yeah, all three of them. So there, there's that.
• 41:31
  That's true. And I'm still thinking of the
• 41:33
  fact that it all comes down to last year.
• 41:41
  Seth and John Cena did did everything they could to help
• 41:45
  Cody win. Right.
• 41:47
  To get rid of the bloodline, right?
• 41:50
  And then it this past year, he tags with them.
• 41:56
  And this enrages John Cena and Seth Rollins into like the whole
• 42:00
  thing. We did all that and we put our
• 42:01
  bodies on the line. John Seth took a share shot to
• 42:05
  the back of his head to his back to help him win the belt and
• 42:09
  he's still going to tag with him.
• 42:13
  And that's why I'm just like, oh, Seth is joining.
• 42:18
  Do it. Let's go.
• 42:20
  But he's #3 huh, you think? He's #3 and Haman's number 4.
• 42:26
  Oh, you think Haman's gonna turn?
• 42:28
  Hey, I don't want to think that, no.
• 42:31
  I don't either. Never mind.
• 42:34
  I don't want to think that, but somebody did put like us staying
• 42:37
  on Twitter that Payment was joining him.
• 42:39
  Just like no, shut up. Don't do that to me, please.
• 42:42
  I don't know about that but I will get to say my piece on
• 42:46
  this. I hate it.
• 42:49
  You hate it, OK. I hate it because, you know,
• 42:57
  he's always like, oh, my tribal chiefs this and my tribal chiefs
• 43:00
  that. But you know, yes, I know he
• 43:03
  owes a favor and I know that this is what punk wants, but I'm
• 43:10
  like, I hate this. I hate that, you know, we went
• 43:14
  four years with, you know, the wise man being with Roman in the
• 43:21
  bloodline, you know, and now he just, oh, well, you know, it's a
• 43:26
  favor. I hate it but I'm glad he got
• 43:32
  mushed in the face. Oh God dad, I was like no what?
• 43:38
  Oh my, Rihanna says. Doing great kiddos.
• 43:42
  Sleeping now so I hope she feels better.
• 43:44
  Me too. I hope he does feel better,
• 43:45
  Rihanna. Yeah.
• 43:47
  Me too heart her, heart you and her winner.
• 43:57
  Roman. I will always say Roman.
• 44:02
  I'll always say punk. I know.
• 44:08
  But then Heyman turns on Punk. Like, OK, I, I, I, I helped you,
• 44:19
  you know, I, I did the favor you asked for.
• 44:21
  Here it is. Now here's a low blow.
• 44:26
  You get to win the match. OK, great.
• 44:28
  Here's a low blow at the very end to end the freaking show and
• 44:32
  call out that Seth Rollins is the new member of The Rocks.
• 44:39
  Or we could wait for that surprise the next night.
• 44:42
  So. When everybody's all trying to
• 44:44
  like, do stuff again. But yeah, that's the main event.
• 44:52
  I hate it. You hate it.
• 44:53
  I hate it. I, you know, don't get me wrong,
• 44:58
  they all deserve it. They all deserve to be there.
• 45:00
  You know, they've all fought. It's a culmination of their
• 45:04
  feud. But Jay and Charlotte are
• 45:14
  supposed to be the main eventers.
• 45:16
  Yeah, because they won the Royal Rumble.
• 45:19
  So that's where I'm like, I that's why I don't like it.
• 45:22
  I'm like, you know what? But I think it's going to, it's
• 45:27
  going to be a good end to the night, you know?
• 45:30
  I will say that it's going to be a good fight, but I don't like
• 45:34
  that they got to main event because that's what CM Punk
• 45:40
  wants, you know? OK.
• 45:44
  OK. And I know you and other people
• 45:49
  are going to hate on me for that.
• 45:51
  I'd be like, why can't you just let him be?
• 45:53
  Do it? But that's my opinion, OK?
• 46:00
  Because at the very end of this, there's a press conference, so
• 46:06
  one of them is going to celebrate.
• 46:14
  I'm gonna yeah, something's happening.
• 46:16
  Something big is having a night one at the very end.
• 46:20
  And like, you know how Roman talks, He has his story.
• 46:26
  Like this could be a bigger story right here where he still
• 46:30
  has. We we're still waiting for the
• 46:32
  Rock versus Roman reign. Yeah.
• 46:36
  So this could end up being like, OK, it's been like 2020, 3,
• 46:41
  2024-2025. 2020. 6 has been three years in the making of
• 46:47
  Roman versus The Rock, and it's finally happening at 2026
• 46:53
  WrestleMania 2026. And because of this moment right
• 46:57
  here, because they turn on Roman or something happened with
• 47:03
  Roman. Either that or he gets his
• 47:05
  bloodline back with the other two.
• 47:12
  We'll see. I, you know, it wouldn't
• 47:15
  surprise me, you know, I mean, I, I know they've been saying,
• 47:20
  you know, because last year it was supposed to be Rock versus
• 47:22
  Roman, you know, and then the whole thing happened to where it
• 47:27
  was Rock and Roman versus Cody and Seth.
• 47:30
  This is bullshit. Always, always, always remember
• 47:37
  that part. This is bullshit.
• 47:38
  What is it? This is bullshit.
• 47:44
  Yeah, Yeah. You know, I just, I mean, the
• 47:48
  storylines are, I think they're all really, really good, you
• 47:52
  know? They really are.
• 47:54
  I think I I don't think I've been more excited for
• 47:57
  WrestleMania. And yeah, I'm so excited.
• 48:03
  And to have it so late in the month, it's kind of, you know,
• 48:07
  it's kind of weird. But you know, things happen to
• 48:10
  where because I think they didn't want to like to enter,
• 48:14
  you know, interfere with like March Madness, I think it was.
• 48:18
  And then I think because it's in Vegas.
• 48:22
  Oh, OK. I don't, I don't know what
• 48:30
  happened. What else?
• 48:31
  Yeah, this is one of those matches where I'm like.
• 48:36
  Are you conflicted? I am.
• 48:38
  I'm very conflicted. You know, Oh.
• 48:49
  And very conflicted. But, you know, I, I think that
• 48:55
  with Paul Heyman, I think this is like his dream, to be honest.
• 49:02
  You know, he's got CM Pump, who, you know, he was so wit, you
• 49:08
  know, so involved with and then now he built this thing with,
• 49:14
  with Roman Reigns, you know, these past few years.
• 49:17
  So he's conflicted in the fact that, you know, he still loves
• 49:24
  his tribal chief, but his best friend.
• 49:28
  You know. Called in a favor so and he
• 49:31
  wants to be true to him. My tribal chief?
• 49:33
  Yes. My tribal chief.
• 49:34
  Anything for you, My tribal chief.
• 49:36
  I. Love it.
• 49:39
  I can't. Well, that concludes night 1.
• 49:46
  Man, those are good matches. They are.
• 49:51
  I don't think there's one that I, you know, be like, eh, I can
• 49:54
  Fast forward this one. No, you know, I, I want them to
• 49:58
  the end. I don't want them to like Fast
• 50:00
  forward it, but I want them to end already.
• 50:03
  Like, all right, you've done this long enough.
• 50:05
  I just want to see it end already.
• 50:14
  Two at Bad Blood on October 5th, 2024, Vans captured footage of
• 50:20
  Kevin Owens attacking Cody Rhodes as the ladder was
• 50:21
  entering his buzz after the event went off the air.
• 50:24
  Another person who turned on Cody because of the romancing it
• 50:29
  could be Kevin Owens who joins next, who knows?
• 50:32
  In the following weeks, Owens and Rose mutual friend Randy
• 50:35
  Orton attempted to maintain peace, only for Owens to attack
• 50:38
  Orton in the parking lot, but leaving Orton roads over him.
• 50:41
  At Crown Jewel on November 2nd, Orton and Owens were scheduled
• 50:44
  for a match, however, both engaged and abroad throughout
• 50:46
  the arena with Owens getting the upper hand.
• 50:49
  Thus, the match never officially began.
• 50:51
  On the following Smackdown, another broad took place where
• 50:53
  Owens performed a pile driver on Oregon, taking him out for the
• 50:56
  next few months. You hated that.
• 50:58
  At Elimination Chamber Toronto, Oregon returned and attacked
• 51:01
  Owens under the latter 1 and on a sanction match.
• 51:04
  On the following Smackdown, Orton spoke about the issues he
• 51:06
  had with Owens and bout to get revenge, leading to Oregon
• 51:09
  challenging Owens to a match at WrestleMania 41, which was made
• 51:12
  official. However, during the April 4th
• 51:14
  episode of Smackdown, Owens declared himself unable to
• 51:16
  compete due to legitimately requiring neck surgery, thus
• 51:20
  canceling the match. After the announcement, Orton
• 51:23
  came out to the ring, only to perform an RK Owen Smackdown
• 51:26
  General Manager Nick Aldous. On the April 11th episode, Orton
• 51:30
  made it clear that he wanted to face Aldous at WrestleMania 41.
• 51:34
  Oh, Sir, Are you sure about that?
• 51:38
  I'm for it. I want to see it because I
• 51:42
  didn't get to see Nick Aldous, you know, or wrestle.
• 51:46
  So I'm like, I'm kind of for this.
• 51:49
  He good, he's very good. I put it on Night 2 just in case
• 51:55
  because there's already seven matches on night one.
• 51:58
  There's already six matches in Night 2.
• 52:00
  This could be a surprise match. It could be a great start to
• 52:03
  open the show. Yeah, it could be one of those,
• 52:08
  you know, segment feel like whoever, Yeah, the Segway say,
• 52:12
  oh, you know what this is, you know, we've got some time, here
• 52:15
  we go, you know, kind of thing. Yeah for sure.
• 52:21
  Well if if it's not then first match of the night Lib Morgan
• 52:24
  recall Rodriguez Bailey and Lyra Bulkaria women's tag team
• 52:29
  championship. On the February 10th episode of
• 52:31
  Rob Bailey defeated women's intercontinental champion Lyra
• 52:34
  Bakaria the non title match that qualify for the women's I mean
• 52:36
  chamber at the namesake event. 2 weeks later, Lib Morgan and
• 52:39
  workout Rodri is Wonder Woman's WWE tag tag WWE Women's Tag Team
• 52:43
  Championship at Elimination Chamber Toronto.
• 52:46
  Morgan also competed and elenated Bailey, although failed
• 52:48
  to win the match herself. On the March 10th episode of
• 52:51
  Raw, Rodriguez defeated Bailey to earn a future the future
• 52:55
  title match against Bulkaria, but despite losing, Bulkaria
• 52:57
  promised to get Bailey a future title match.
• 52:59
  On 24 March 24th episode, Bulkaria defeated Rodriguez to
• 53:05
  retain the title despite interference from Morgan.
• 53:08
  After the match, both Rodriguez and Morgan attacked Bulkaria,
• 53:11
  who was saved by Bailey. On the April 7th episode of Rob
• 53:14
  I cares, we defended the title against Bailey and on that we
• 53:17
  smack down Bailey about Cara one a woman's acting gauntlet match
• 53:20
  to earn a title match against Morgan and Rodriguez.
• 53:24
  I were so many 41. The IWC had a fucking cow over
• 53:27
  this because going to charge my phone.
• 53:34
  All right see you then yeah I don't see you had a cow over
• 53:39
  this because you know you had all these other tag teams there
• 53:42
  that been tag teaming forever and then you got these two just
• 53:46
  were was put these two together I've.
• 53:50
  Noticed that is a AAA does that you know, we'll just put people
• 53:56
  together, you know, to compete for in A tag team for the belts.
• 54:00
  Right. And so everybody was upset,
• 54:05
  like, how dare you put these two together and not the established
• 54:09
  tag team, Katan and Kaden, Nat Neidhart and what?
• 54:19
  Not a fan. I mean, they could do so much
• 54:22
  more, but besides the whole era flips and all that stuff, and I
• 54:26
  get Cortana as a former Ninja Warrior legend.
• 54:30
  She's a legend. She's a former, not a former.
• 54:32
  She's like, she's a. She's not.
• 54:34
  Her on American Ninja Warrior? Yeah.
• 54:37
  She's a legend. Yeah.
• 54:38
  Still, it's like, OK, Katie Kansaro.
• 54:44
  Yeah. Cortana Kansaro.
• 54:47
  Nice. OK anyway.
• 54:50
  But yeah, it could be fine if she wins the match.
• 54:55
  If they win the belts, come on, give them a chance.
• 54:58
  Not this new tag team. They just met and they've been
• 55:03
  feuding for a while and now they're put together.
• 55:05
  Yeah, exactly. Who wins this match?
• 55:11
  Living, you know, even though we just talked about them being a
• 55:16
  brand new, I say them. Oh, OK.
• 55:20
  I say you know because I saw them wrestle together this past
• 55:26
  last Friday. OK, Yeah.
• 55:29
  And, you know, they look like a really good team and they sure
• 55:33
  did last a long, you know, the whole gauntlet.
• 55:36
  So I said, you know what, give them a shot.
• 55:40
  But I think they need to really, if they're going to be A tag
• 55:47
  team, be A tag team, you know, not a few months down the road,
• 55:52
  break them up, you know, have one turn on the other.
• 55:56
  But I'm like, leave them as a legit tag team and I think this
• 56:02
  would start the the whole tag team by letting them win.
• 56:08
  And then Lyra will be, you know, a two title champion.
• 56:15
  Two title, 2 belt, Lyra 2 belts. Lyra 2 belts.
• 56:20
  OK, Liv and Raquel? There's no.
• 56:26
  Reason to for them to get beat by tagging that they just put
• 56:30
  together. Meanwhile living Raquel been to
• 56:35
  have teaming for like a while now.
• 56:37
  I know they have. But yeah, I love.
• 56:42
  We'll just have to see what happens next match.
• 56:49
  Oh, you're gonna love this one. Hey.
• 56:53
  AJ Styles is Logan Paul. Yeah.
• 56:56
  At the Royal Rumble Smackdowns, AJ Styles made a surprise return
• 57:00
  from injury and competing the Royal Rumble match only be
• 57:02
  eliminated by Ross Logan Powell. Always, always.
• 57:05
  Like, why is he here? As part of the transfer window,
• 57:09
  Styles was transferred to the Raw brand.
• 57:11
  After several weeks of confrontation, Styles challenge
• 57:13
  Paul to a match on the market. First episode of Raw.
• 57:15
  However, Paul declined, saying he did not fight for free and
• 57:19
  pointed to the WrestleMania sign.
• 57:20
  See, it's not just us. They also pointed a sign.
• 57:23
  Yeah, that's right. After which he brought a suit
• 57:26
  between the two men. Later that night, Roger and
• 57:27
  manager Adam Pierce scheduled a match between Paul and Styles at
• 57:30
  WrestleMania for a WrestleMania 41.
• 57:32
  He does not fight for free. Sir, you're on basic cable.
• 57:35
  You are not fighting for free. Anyways, we still have to pay
• 57:38
  for cable, right? Oh, unless you mean Netflix.
• 57:42
  Yeah, come on, you're on Netflix.
• 57:44
  We're paying for that. It's not free.
• 57:46
  Nope, it's. Real.
• 57:50
  Quick, I saw this on Facebook today.
• 57:55
  They said this is the obvious choice.
• 57:59
  Let's be real. There it is.
• 58:02
  I was. Like, yeah.
• 58:05
  If we saw hints of Mickie James and on LFG, I'm Oh shit, sorry.
• 58:12
  If we saw hints of Mickie James on LFG, then you know we're
• 58:18
  going to see her husband Nick Altis in the in the ring zone.
• 58:21
  I'm. Like, just one time, just one
• 58:23
  day, just, you know, his last fight, you know, come on.
• 58:27
  Got the legend status going in. That's right all.
• 58:33
  Right, AJ Styles or Logan? Come on now, AJ Styles, Are you
• 58:39
  sure? Oh yes.
• 58:41
  I just feel like. I will never say Logan Paul.
• 58:44
  Never. I just feel like Logan's there
• 58:46
  to antagonize and then lose, antagonize and then lose,
• 58:49
  antagonize and then lose, but same time have bomb matches do
• 58:55
  some big. Moves he's he's proved himself
• 58:59
  to be a really stellar wrestler, but that's I'm not for him
• 59:03
  winning. That steals, AW moves, yeah.
• 59:08
  Still, I don't care. But yeah, it's pretty good.
• 59:14
  It's just that all right, winning.
• 59:18
  Nobody. Likes him.
• 59:19
  Nobody likes him like I. I can go without him.
• 59:23
  AJ Styles for the win. If not, OK, fine, whatever.
• 59:29
  Don't be getting sued now. Exactly.
• 59:33
  Never mind. Shout out to two years ago
• 59:37
  getting sued over Logan Paul win linguine next match Braun
• 59:47
  breaker was penta was Dominic was Finn Balor for intragonal
• 59:51
  championship on the February 17th episode Raw after judgment
• 59:54
  day member Dominic mysterious match intercom championship
• 59:57
  against On the February 17th episode of Raw I need to look at
• 1:00:02
  commas after judgment day member Dominic mysterious match I see
• 1:00:06
  champion Braun Breaker accidentally attacked Mysterio
• 1:00:08
  which led to a non title match between Mysterio and Breaker on
• 1:00:10
  the next episode. That match ended in DQ after
• 1:00:14
  Mysterio's fellow stable mates Carlito from Bella attack
• 1:00:16
  Breaker On the next episode, Judgment attack Breaker, but he
• 1:00:19
  was able to get the upper hand. On the March 17th episode,
• 1:00:22
  Mysterio discussed adding Penta to their ranks, much to the
• 1:00:25
  rotation of Balor. Later that night, Breaker
• 1:00:27
  defeated Baller to retain the Intercom Championship.
• 1:00:29
  After the match, Mysterio and Carlito attack Breaker before
• 1:00:32
  Penta appeared to even the odds. Breaker and Penta subsequently
• 1:00:34
  stared each other down the following week, with Mysterio
• 1:00:38
  performed. Mysterio formerly offered Penta
• 1:00:41
  spawned the Judgment Day. Late at night, Breaker defended
• 1:00:45
  the title against Penta, which Breaker won via DQ after
• 1:00:47
  Mysterio and Colonial attacked him.
• 1:00:48
  After the match, Mysterio tried to have Penta attack Breaker
• 1:00:50
  with a chair, but instead Penta attack Mysterio.
• 1:00:53
  Breaker and Penta then face Balor and Mysterio attack Team
• 1:00:56
  match the next week, which they won after Breaker accidentally
• 1:01:00
  speared Penta. On April 7th, Roger manager Adam
• 1:01:03
  Pierce scheduled Breaker defend the title against Balor,
• 1:01:05
  Mysterio and Penta in the Fatal Four Way match at WrestleMania
• 1:01:09
  41. What if Dominic wins?
• 1:01:17
  That would be terrible, but anyway that.
• 1:01:19
  'D be terrible, but I'm still rooting for.
• 1:01:21
  Him, but there I think it would show.
• 1:01:25
  I think if Dominic won, it would there's going to be hostility
• 1:01:32
  between him and Balor. I mean, there already is.
• 1:01:35
  Exactly why I. Think yeah.
• 1:01:36
  So maybe this is when he's like, you know what, you're out, you
• 1:01:41
  know, and kicks him out of the group.
• 1:01:43
  Because he holds a belt and Finn doesn't.
• 1:01:46
  Right. And Finn and Dominic wants a new
• 1:01:50
  table mate in the in the place, and Finn doesn't.
• 1:01:53
  And it's like, you know what, dude, go away.
• 1:01:56
  Yeah, I have a belt. I'm the head of the table here.
• 1:02:02
  Yeah. Head of Mikasa.
• 1:02:06
  That's right, this is my clubhouse now.
• 1:02:09
  This. Is my clubhouse.
• 1:02:10
  Look at me. Look at me.
• 1:02:11
  This is my clubhouse. Bron Raker Penta Dominic Pens
• 1:02:19
  Bron. Someone, Someone gets pinned,
• 1:02:22
  you know. I think it would be to show his
• 1:02:27
  dominance if he pinned Dollar accidentally.
• 1:02:34
  Accidentally. Accidentally so like.
• 1:02:39
  You realize it was you? Yeah, right.
• 1:02:42
  Penta does a super kick on fan brown.
• 1:02:44
  Breaker doesn't beer on Dominic. Penta and Breaker like throw
• 1:02:50
  each other out the ring. Dominic like doesn't know who
• 1:02:53
  he's glove covering. Goes to cover 123.
• 1:02:56
  Dominic wins. He looks over at Finn Valor like
• 1:02:58
  what? My bad.
• 1:03:03
  Exactly, Yeah. Now watch WE do the opposite of
• 1:03:07
  that and have Finn Balor win. Hey, you know what I'm for Finn
• 1:03:14
  winning. Right.
• 1:03:16
  You know, I think, I don't know. I think you know Bron, he's had
• 1:03:25
  a good run, but I really don't think they want to take it away.
• 1:03:28
  From him yet no. You know, but I think, but I
• 1:03:33
  mean, all four of, well, three of them are really good, you
• 1:03:39
  know, Dominic, not so much, you know, I think he needs to get
• 1:03:47
  more training, you know, and get his own moods instead of using
• 1:03:54
  Eddie Guerrero's and his dad's, you know, why would you use
• 1:03:58
  somebody who you say is a deadbeat?
• 1:03:59
  Why would you use them as? A deadbeat.
• 1:04:05
  So anyways. Oh goodness.
• 1:04:09
  That's great. So I say, I say Finn.
• 1:04:12
  Finn OK. I say Finn.
• 1:04:14
  I say Dom. Yeah, because I don't think, I
• 1:04:20
  don't think Penta's ready yet, yo, for WWE.
• 1:04:27
  I think he needs to, you know, get in there a little bit more.
• 1:04:31
  But you know, you never know. They like giving all the
• 1:04:35
  newbies, you know, opportunities and belts.
• 1:04:43
  Oh, that's true. Next match Drew McIntyre was
• 1:04:48
  Damien Priest. Immediately after Drew McIntyre
• 1:04:51
  won the World Heavy Championship at WrestleMania 40, he taunted
• 1:04:53
  his then rivals CM Punk, who served a special guest
• 1:04:55
  commentator for the match. Punk subsequently attacked
• 1:04:58
  McIntyre with his arm brace, allowing Damien Priest to
• 1:05:01
  successfully cash in his Money in the Bank contract on McIntyre
• 1:05:04
  and win the title and the Mcintyre's reign at just 5
• 1:05:06
  minutes and 46 seconds. Over the next few months,
• 1:05:11
  Priests and McIntyre continues their feud, with Priests
• 1:05:14
  defeating McIntyre at Clash of the Castle Scotland to retain
• 1:05:17
  the title at Money to Make. McIntyre won the namesake match
• 1:05:19
  and later that night successful unsuccessfully cashed in on
• 1:05:23
  Priest, who later lose the title to Gunther at SummerSlam.
• 1:05:26
  In January 2025, as part of the transfer window, both McIntyre
• 1:05:29
  and Priests were transferred to the Smackdown brand.
• 1:05:32
  Both men competing the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber
• 1:05:34
  matches at the respective events were pre deliminated McIntyre
• 1:05:38
  and both. After the latter, McIntyre
• 1:05:40
  attacked pre dilation, costing Priests a match.
• 1:05:44
  After several more weeks of altercation between two men, on
• 1:05:47
  April 10th, Smackdown Gender Manager Nick always made a match
• 1:05:49
  between Priests and McIntyre official for WrestleMania 41.
• 1:05:52
  The next night on Smackdown, it was announced that the match
• 1:05:54
  would be a Sin City Street Fight.
• 1:05:56
  We just need a street fight. We just needed some form of
• 1:06:01
  street fight in here. Do you guys want to do it?
• 1:06:05
  Yeah, sure. Let's go.
• 1:06:06
  OK. We call it a Sin City street
• 1:06:08
  fight because it's Vegas. OK, well.
• 1:06:13
  Let's do whatever you want. The only match I'm not
• 1:06:15
  interested in really. Yeah.
• 1:06:18
  Are you tired of their feud? I'm tired of bunch of feuds.
• 1:06:24
  No. It is like can you get this over
• 1:06:27
  with already? Tired of seeing Damien as the
• 1:06:36
  face, I'm gonna go with Drew. Yeah, I like.
• 1:06:40
  Some people I like better as heels.
• 1:06:42
  Some people do better as heels than they do as faces and I just
• 1:06:46
  like, don't believe them. With with Damien being a face,
• 1:06:52
  it makes, I think it makes him look weak.
• 1:06:55
  She, you know, the whole time that he was feuding with
• 1:06:59
  Judgment Day, right. He couldn't beat Dominic.
• 1:07:03
  Really. Yeah, right.
• 1:07:06
  You know, So I I kind of agree with you on that one that, you
• 1:07:11
  know, he needs to go back to be to heal, but he's still my
• 1:07:18
  favorite in this. I'm going with Damian.
• 1:07:21
  Go with Damian, all right? Yeah.
• 1:07:22
  Nice, and I think this should be the end of their.
• 1:07:26
  Few. That's right.
• 1:07:27
  Yeah. Sun City straight fight.
• 1:07:28
  Should be the end of it. Move on with something else
• 1:07:31
  because, you know, they're both on different brands, so this is
• 1:07:35
  their last chance. Keep it that way, you know?
• 1:07:42
  Right, I'm a go withdrew. It's like a next match.
• 1:07:51
  EO Sky versus Bianca Belleri versus Rhea Ripley Women's World
• 1:07:54
  Championship Throughout February, qualifying matches
• 1:07:56
  were held to determine the participants for the Women's
• 1:07:58
  Elimination Chamber match Elimination Chamber Toronto,
• 1:08:02
  with the winner earning a match for Raw Women's World
• 1:08:04
  Championship match WrestleMania 41.
• 1:08:06
  During EO Sky's qualifying match, reigning Women's World
• 1:08:09
  Champion Rhea Ripley attacks Guy's opponent unintentionally
• 1:08:12
  causing it to AQ loss for Sky. Due to this, Ripley report Sky
• 1:08:16
  with a title match which was scheduled for the Elimination
• 1:08:18
  Chamber. On the March 3rd episode of FRA
• 1:08:21
  Elimination Chamber Smackdowns, Bianca Bel Air won the A
• 1:08:23
  Feminist match, while Sky subsequently defeated Ripley on
• 1:08:26
  Raw to win the title, confirming that Sky would defend the
• 1:08:29
  Women's World Championship against Bel Air WrestleMania.
• 1:08:31
  During the contract signing on the March 17th episode, however,
• 1:08:34
  Ripley interrupted and performed a powerbomb on Sky on the Bel
• 1:08:37
  Air, after which Ripley instead signed the contract.
• 1:08:40
  Sky was done and scheduled to face Ripley on the March 31st
• 1:08:42
  episode and title rematch with Bel Air as the referee, which
• 1:08:46
  ended a double DQ. Does Sky retain Raj and her
• 1:08:49
  manager Adam Pierce subsequently decided the Sky would Defender
• 1:08:52
  Championship against both Bellaire And we're playing a
• 1:08:53
  triple threat match at WrestleMania 41.
• 1:08:56
  These three, these three are fucking awesome.
• 1:09:00
  These three are awesome. They are.
• 1:09:04
  I don't know. I honestly don't know.
• 1:09:08
  I guess we're still going with Bianca's winning streak,
• 1:09:13
  WrestleMania winning streak. I see.
• 1:09:19
  But I really want mommy to win. I want mommy to win now.
• 1:09:26
  All three, I mean, all three of them are great.
• 1:09:29
  All three of them are. They're all really good
• 1:09:31
  athletes. They all deserve to be there,
• 1:09:34
  you know? But I, I don't like that they're
• 1:09:41
  pushing around. Yo, Scott, you know, because
• 1:09:46
  that's not how either one of them are, you know, yeah, she,
• 1:09:51
  she got, you know, the first couple times it was OK, but just
• 1:09:54
  to keep doing it is kind of, you know, and I know it's, it's
• 1:09:58
  pissing her off because she, you know, drop kicked both of them,
• 1:10:02
  you know. So I'm like, but I, I think Rhea
• 1:10:09
  didn't have it long enough. I said Rhea wins it back because
• 1:10:14
  it was, I think it was dumb for her to lose it on Raw, you know?
• 1:10:21
  Yeah. She could have lost it at you
• 1:10:23
  know, Saturday night main event. You know lose it at
• 1:10:27
  WrestleMania. Come on now, lose it at Raw
• 1:10:30
  Rumble. You know what I mean?
• 1:10:31
  She could have lost it on one of the PL.
• 1:10:34
  ES, right? Don't do it on raw, don't do it
• 1:10:37
  on Smackdown. You know, make it worth her
• 1:10:41
  while. Exactly.
• 1:10:44
  Bigger audience. Bigger audience.
• 1:10:46
  Yeah, OK. So I say Bria.
• 1:10:54
  Ria. Even though I have Bianca's
• 1:10:58
  Wrestle Media shirt, which that's what I was going to wear.
• 1:11:04
  I have all of Bianca's merch, but I'm voting.
• 1:11:07
  I'm like voting for Ria for Mommy.
• 1:11:09
  Of course. Am I going to support mommy?
• 1:11:17
  Hey, they came up together NXT, you know.
• 1:11:20
  All. Three of.
• 1:11:22
  Them, yeah, like, you know, me watching that entire segment of
• 1:11:26
  them beating each other up, Yeah, yeah.
• 1:11:29
  Wow. Oh.
• 1:11:31
  And don't you, don't you remember when actually all three
• 1:11:36
  of them were champions? Raquel.
• 1:11:40
  Rodriguez Yeah. So what was it, Raquel?
• 1:11:42
  Yeah, it was AI thought. It was EO Sky, 'cause I thought,
• 1:11:45
  'cause I know they went over to NXT.
• 1:11:48
  Yeah, yeah. It was Raquel.
• 1:11:50
  OK. Yeah, it was Raquel.
• 1:11:51
  OK. It was when before Dakota Kai.
• 1:11:58
  Right. Turn.
• 1:11:59
  Yeah. Right.
• 1:12:00
  Raquel like now it's just like, why don't they bring that
• 1:12:06
  storyline back up where Dakota Kai turn on?
• 1:12:10
  Oh, she sees so innocent and sweet and like a face like no,
• 1:12:14
  no, I don't trust her. I don't trust her.
• 1:12:16
  No, she's turned on 2 girls. She's turned on three people.
• 1:12:20
  I know, you know, that's like when they, you know, when it was
• 1:12:28
  all damage control, you know, yeah, I was like, yeah, I don't
• 1:12:31
  trust her. I'm like, I don't know Bailey.
• 1:12:33
  I don't know why Bailey has her in this fashion, but I'm like, I
• 1:12:37
  don't trust her. Three times.
• 1:12:40
  Ever since I saw her in NXT, yeah.
• 1:12:43
  Oh man, this next one deserves this.
• 1:12:52
  Where'd it go? Cody versus John Cena.
• 1:13:00
  The next one deserves this. Yeah, so that's three
• 1:13:07
  headbangers. That's three head banging
• 1:13:09
  matches in one night. I am so going to enjoy that.
• 1:13:16
  That night we're going to talk about it.
• 1:13:21
  Cody Rose was John Cena for the Undisputed WE Championship Money
• 1:13:27
  in the Bank 24 John Cena revealed that he would retire
• 1:13:29
  from pro wrestling at the end of 25 and also announced that he
• 1:13:32
  would compete at WrestleMania 41.
• 1:13:35
  After losing the men's Royal Rumble match at the Epitomist
• 1:13:37
  event, Cena entered himself into the Men's Evolution Chamber
• 1:13:40
  match for one last chance to challenge for a world
• 1:13:42
  championship by WrestleMania 41, citing that the main event was
• 1:13:45
  last WrestleMania and becoming Sarah Record 70 time 30 World
• 1:13:48
  champion would be best for business.
• 1:13:52
  Best for business. Seth Rollins said best for
• 1:13:58
  business. Also around this time, TKO board
• 1:14:01
  member Dwayne Derock Johnson tried to Bryce Smackdowns on the
• 1:14:03
  speed of W champion Cody Rose to be his corporate champion.
• 1:14:06
  See, I told you now isn't just me who thought that the whole I
• 1:14:09
  want your soul was I want you to be my corporate champion.
• 1:14:13
  That's right. Vince did it over Rock and now
• 1:14:16
  the Rock is doing it to Cody. It's a vicious cycle.
• 1:14:20
  Yeah. Claiming that they had become
• 1:14:23
  friends following their class at the prior years WrestleMania 40
• 1:14:26
  and that he could elevate Rose career Elimination Chamber
• 1:14:30
  Toronto, Cena won the Epitomis match, earning a title match
• 1:14:33
  against Rhodes of WrestleMania. Following the match, Rhodes
• 1:14:35
  appeared to congratulate Cena, followed by The Rock to get
• 1:14:37
  Rhodes answer to his offer. Rhodes decline and Cena and
• 1:14:40
  Breeze Rd. However, Cena then wishes he
• 1:14:42
  attacked Rhodes, siding with Rock, turning heel for the first
• 1:14:44
  time since 22,003. In the weeks following, Cena be
• 1:14:48
  ready to the audience, claiming they had mistreated him for the
• 1:14:50
  last 20 years and that he turned on Rhodes because he was
• 1:14:52
  discussed by him. Rhodes Chestis Cena told him he
• 1:14:54
  wanted to face the real John Cena.
• 1:15:03
  He said he broke up with us basically fair.
• 1:15:08
  Mark to it. Yeah, the real John Cena resume
• 1:15:13
  for you one, not this whiny version.
• 1:15:15
  Cena also claimed that after he won the title, he would retire
• 1:15:18
  it. Ah, man.
• 1:15:23
  So what do you think of that? I don't like the promos, OK,
• 1:15:32
  He's holding back. OK.
• 1:15:36
  Because if it was other people, he would like destroyed them.
• 1:15:42
  Right. Like he did with The Rock, like
• 1:15:46
  he did with Roman Reigns, with the whole, like, you know, back
• 1:15:51
  when he was a big dog, like he did with The Miz, like he's done
• 1:15:56
  with other people. He would destroy them on the mic
• 1:15:59
  here is all. Like, I'm not doing what you
• 1:16:04
  asked me to do, so I'm just going to mess with you.
• 1:16:07
  He's being a be all it being a big heel, Yes, Yeah.
• 1:16:11
  I say, do you think that that's part of the rocks plan that he's
• 1:16:19
  holding, that, you know, he wants them to hold back and not?
• 1:16:22
  Quite as bad. Less is more.
• 1:16:24
  Yeah. Cody is just like doesn't want
• 1:16:28
  he wants the real John Cena and like this could be the Nah, I'm
• 1:16:32
  like this could be a backlash that we could go into backlash
• 1:16:35
  with this. I.
• 1:16:37
  Get that Cena could have his wrestling a moment and then lose
• 1:16:40
  it. But we could go into Backlash
• 1:16:43
  with this and Cena, they could then like destroy him there.
• 1:16:48
  OK. Umm, I'm going to call Cena
• 1:16:55
  right here. I I really want that 17th title
• 1:17:02
  win to happen at WrestleMania and then business be his last
• 1:17:05
  WrestleMania and then going to the night rest of the year.
• 1:17:09
  That'd be great. The possibilities of new
• 1:17:15
  wrestlers against him, faces instead of heels now like faces
• 1:17:20
  against him and like Randy Orton.
• 1:17:23
  That Randy Orton versus Dis John Cena.
• 1:17:26
  Yeah. Roman Reigns, CM Punk maybe,
• 1:17:30
  Seth maybe, if he's not a part of it.
• 1:17:33
  But here we get the reveal of the third person.
• 1:17:39
  OK. Seth Rollins, right?
• 1:17:43
  That's your prediction. That's my prediction.
• 1:17:45
  OK, If it ain't Seth Rollins, who do you think it is?
• 1:17:52
  You know, I, I don't know because I'm trying to think of
• 1:18:00
  who the rock would get. Stone Cold.
• 1:18:05
  Nah, I mean, hey, Stone Cold, he says he's going to be in Vegas,
• 1:18:09
  so. Oh God, here we go.
• 1:18:13
  So. Here we go.
• 1:18:14
  Because you know, he's got to be there for Hall of Fame, so don't
• 1:18:18
  be there. He does have to be for Hall of
• 1:18:20
  Fame. Because he's going into the Hall
• 1:18:23
  of Fame with his matches, so. Yes, he is going to Hall of Fame
• 1:18:27
  with his matches. Did they update the site ever
• 1:18:32
  since this? No, I guess not.
• 1:18:34
  I guess that's the last one. OK, yeah, I keep getting emails
• 1:18:39
  saying, oh, there's the, you know, last minute and, you know,
• 1:18:41
  showing me who it could be. And I'm like, come on now.
• 1:18:46
  I want to be surprised. Like seriously, I hope it's not
• 1:18:50
  like I'm hoping that it's rather, but I want to be
• 1:18:53
  surprised just in case. Like yes they would have the
• 1:18:56
  entire time, but. What do you think about it being
• 1:19:00
  Sam? That what the hell?
• 1:19:05
  Why? That could be my prediction.
• 1:19:07
  Yes. But she is, if there is, you
• 1:19:15
  know, that third person and if it is Seth Rollins or Dan Pun, I
• 1:19:23
  really, I, I would be really surprised if it was either one
• 1:19:26
  of them just because, you know. Ruin Roman.
• 1:19:32
  Yeah. And I don't like that, but you
• 1:19:35
  know, that's the best for business.
• 1:19:38
  We're going into the fact that this whole, this whole five
• 1:19:42
  years of story has to do with Roman.
• 1:19:45
  Yeah, well, yeah, because, you know, they keep saying, you
• 1:19:49
  know, that's the whole reason why, you know, every field what
• 1:19:53
  Kevin Owens was like. Oh, you know, because of Roman
• 1:19:56
  Reigns. Everything is because of Roman
• 1:19:58
  Reigns. You know, we bring him down and.
• 1:20:02
  You go, you know, you go back with him.
• 1:20:04
  You go back and you tag him, you tag with him.
• 1:20:07
  Kevin Owens was right. We should have listened to Kevin
• 1:20:09
  Owens. Yeah, pretty much.
• 1:20:12
  Ever. But I I could, I mean, I could
• 1:20:19
  see Seth turning because that's just how it's been, you know?
• 1:20:25
  He turned on Roman, you know, He turned on, you know, because
• 1:20:30
  I've seen, like, highlights of every time he's stabbed somebody
• 1:20:35
  in the back, you know? So maybe he's going to do it one
• 1:20:39
  more time. And now he's not going to be a
• 1:20:42
  face no more. He's going to go back to being a
• 1:20:44
  heel and he's going to join, you know, the rock corporation.
• 1:20:52
  The Rocks Corporation. Yeah, OK, well, we did an hour
• 1:21:01
  and 30 minutes on here. Not bad.
• 1:21:03
  Yeah. It could have been longer.
• 1:21:09
  Yeah, I'm. Glad it's not.
• 1:21:12
  Like, you know what's going to be longer?
• 1:21:14
  Oh my God. Recap.
• 1:21:17
  No, it's like we're doing stuff this weekend too.
• 1:21:21
