  wrestling podcast where the pop of the crowd is always a little
• 0:09
  louder. I'm evil still out here throwing
• 0:12
  up that you can't see me because we can't see each other like
• 0:17
  it's 2005, even when the little kids roll their eyes.
• 0:19
  And this is my third place podcast And riding a shotgun
• 0:23
  with me tonight on this awesome road trip.
• 0:25
  My attacking partner in crime menace is back.
• 0:29
  But this time, she didn't come alone.
• 0:31
  She brought back up last time these ladies were on the MPP
• 0:35
  show, we learned a lot about them.
• 0:37
  This time, they're going to help us make sense of this last
• 0:41
  Peacock Premium live event. Welcome back to the show,
• 0:44
  Queenie. Maddie, Queenie B and Mariposa.
• 0:51
  Hey, what's going on ladies? How are you?
• 0:54
  How are you? Hello.
• 0:55
  Good evening. How's everybody doing good?
• 1:01
  Doing good. So are we all gonna get ESPN
• 1:06
  Plus or? Just boy, it's tearing at our
• 1:11
  heartstrings. We are.
• 1:12
  Not happy with this. We are not happy with.
• 1:16
  This all the stringing we are paying for.
• 1:19
  Well, and and also we thought it wasn't supposed to start till
• 1:23
  the new year and now all of a sudden they're like, no, this is
• 1:26
  the last one. Yeah, so it's a tough decision.
• 1:38
  I said it's a tough decision. I mean, 30 what what is it 30
• 1:41
  bucks a month extra for all? I mean, we're, we have, we saw
• 1:44
  so many streaming already, Hulu, Netflix, Disney Plus, I mean,
• 1:49
  Paramount Prime, it's like we're paying for so much already.
• 1:53
  Plus we still have cable because I like to watch a lot of local
• 1:56
  sports. And so I'm paying for cable.
• 2:00
  Then I have to pay extra for the Northwest package so I can get
• 2:02
  Northwest teams. It's kind of bogus.
• 2:04
  But you know, I mean, so we're paying so much for TV right now.
• 2:07
  It's ridiculous. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:11
  Well, if you have Disney Plus already there so.
• 2:15
  Yeah. But we don't have the ESPN part
• 2:17
  of it. We don't have.
• 2:18
  The we don't have that package, we don't have that.
• 2:21
  Package pay for each one so there there's bundle deals, but
• 2:27
  this is a different extension bundle Yeah.
• 2:31
  So, yeah, OK, I don't know. We're we're.
• 2:37
  Gonna spot? That's a tall spot.
• 2:44
  We've got predictions for Clash in Paris, and this isn't just
• 2:46
  any premium live event. This is the last Dodie main
• 2:49
  roster pay-per-view on Peacock before the big move to ESPN
• 2:53
  streaming service. Which basically means two
• 2:55
  things. One, Disney owned wrestling now.
• 3:00
  So yes, that makes Becky Lynch, Ria Ripley and Bianca Bel Air
• 3:04
  officially Disney Princesses. How about Tippy Prime?
• 3:12
  Oh God. I love the girl, I just hate
• 3:19
  that she's a face and like she's holding on clutching onto her
• 3:23
  stomach all the time. Yeah, how about Sucia?
• 3:25
  Sucia. Liv.
• 3:28
  Yeah. Is she a Disney villain?
• 3:31
  Disney Princess, and so is Dominic.
• 3:35
  You I agree. I.
• 3:39
  Suck him back, I. Was watching Roman Reigns cut a
• 3:47
  promo right after a marble post credit scene.
• 3:51
  Excuse me? Yeah.
• 3:52
  So real quick I got to tell you. So last night I was watching raw
• 4:02
  and the baby was over. I said put your little what up.
• 4:06
  I got this and she goes. Yeah, she sure does.
• 4:11
  She. And then and then she goes like,
• 4:13
  and then she went, Yep. So she kept putting it up every
• 4:18
  time I said put your little what up?
• 4:19
  Yeah. Today too, she likes it Cool.
• 4:26
  She's like, I don't know what I'm doing, but I like it
• 4:27
  acknowledging. At such a young age, I love.
• 4:31
  It that's. Right.
• 4:36
  Well, this switch up is bigger than when does it try to run
• 4:39
  Thunder or when ECW landed on TNN.
• 4:42
  We're talking a whole new era of how we watch wrestling.
• 4:45
  Raw, Netflix, NXT on The CW, Evolve on 2B because of course
• 4:49
  on 2B. Smackdown still holding it down
• 4:52
  on USA. Saturday night's main event is
• 4:54
  back on Peacock, AAA Lucha Libre on YouTube and ESPN plus gets
• 4:58
  the motley PL. ES for the next 5 years.
• 5:01
  Yeah, so. You would think.
• 5:06
  It wanted all in one spot. Right, right.
• 5:10
  And Saturday night's Main event still gets peak Peacock still
• 5:13
  gets Saturday night's main event, which is weird.
• 5:14
  It's like. And it's mine.
• 5:18
  I mean, it's not every month, it's not every, I mean it's not
• 5:21
  every Saturday, you know what I mean?
• 5:22
  I think, I think it's just modern, that's why.
• 5:24
  And I don't think they're they're going to make as much
• 5:26
  money, right? And I mean, it's mine, but it's
• 5:30
  not. Excuse me.
• 5:33
  And don't forget Cena's final match.
• 5:35
  It's already on the books for December, which if wrestling has
• 5:37
  caused anything, means we'll probably see him again at
• 5:39
  WrestleMania 50 in a surprise running with a steel chair.
• 5:43
  But for now, it's Clash in Paris, August 31st, live from
• 5:47
  the Paris LA Defence Arena. First time that he has hit the
• 5:51
  Paris metro area. Bell time is 2:00 PM Eastern,
• 5:55
  1:00 PM Central. That's me, 11 AM Pacific.
• 5:57
  That's you guys, so set your clocks, grab your snacks and get
• 6:01
  ready because we're about to dive into the card.
• 6:05
  There was a match cancelled already.
• 6:08
  Yep. At Evolution Ross, Stephanie
• 6:11
  Baker won the Evolution Battle Rd. earned a Women's World
• 6:13
  Championship match at Clash in Paris.
• 6:15
  The next night on Raw, it was confirmed that the match would
• 6:17
  be for Ross Women's World Championship as Summer Slam.
• 6:21
  The following month, Naomi retained a title.
• 6:23
  Thus confirmed that Naomi would defend the Women's World
• 6:25
  Championship against Baker at Clash in Paris.
• 6:27
  However, on the August 18th episode of Rodney and we had a
• 6:30
  relinquished title due to paternity leave as Naomi
• 6:32
  announced she was pregnant with her first child.
• 6:34
  Does the championship match was cancelled.
• 6:37
  Little glow, little glow there. Lame.
• 6:42
  Excuse me, ma'am. She's with child.
• 6:45
  No. No, no, no, it's not lame that
• 6:48
  she had to read. It's lame that they.
• 6:51
  Cancelled the match, right she. Can't they?
• 6:53
  Cancelled. Lame they will have.
• 6:55
  To. They have to no they can make it
• 6:58
  so that they could have did a a gauntlet match so that they
• 7:03
  could say, OK, whoever wins the gauntlet match is going to fight
• 7:07
  Stephanie the care for this title that is.
• 7:12
  Now you got to do more than that because there's so many people
• 7:14
  that feel that they're top contenders.
• 7:16
  You just can't do one match and then go, OK, if I care.
• 7:19
  I mean, they need to do a tournament.
• 7:22
  They need to, they need to do something more than that.
• 7:24
  And they don't have time. They don't have time.
• 7:26
  You're right. They.
• 7:27
  Could have. They could have.
• 7:28
  Put tippy toe on the bottom of that.
• 7:30
  She'd be fighting a championship in a championship cause tippy
• 7:35
  time. She ain't doing nothing anyway,
• 7:39
  so right. Right.
• 7:42
  You know what? Maybe.
• 7:43
  She's gonna. You're right, maybe she should
• 7:47
  have fought Tiffany. For that, and if she won, she
• 7:54
  would just have to be moved over to Smackdown, you know?
• 7:58
  And they can move. They could, you know, they can
• 8:00
  move somebody else over to RAW so.
• 8:06
  Yeah, they don't care to win this match.
• 8:12
  I don't know. I mean, that's.
• 8:14
  That's evil. Don't.
• 8:17
  Care and you know, that's been that's been controversial for
• 8:21
  many years that they don't treat the women equal.
• 8:23
  You know, that the women don't get the same time that the women
• 8:26
  don't get the same effort and run.
• 8:28
  And you know, so it is what it is.
• 8:31
  But I mean, what can you do? Somebody gets unexpectedly
• 8:33
  pregnant. She obviously didn't proceed
• 8:36
  with caution, so no. Irresponsible, Becky said.
• 8:41
  Yeah, exactly. Even though she did the same
• 8:45
  thing, same old poops. Yeah.
• 8:49
  Same old. Poops, you know she's got that
• 8:52
  gorgeous husband so. Yeah.
• 8:56
  That hot husband. Whatever bro.
• 8:59
  Whatever bro. Yeah.
• 9:04
  He's like. Mom.
• 9:07
  Hey. We're.
• 9:08
  Going to. Get a tribal chief one day.
• 9:12
  Mm, hmm, yeah, she said. The bloodline continues.
• 9:15
  Yep, that would be cool. Then they can play that back one
• 9:21
  day. That'll be part of his intro
• 9:26
  package. Yep.
• 9:30
  What'd you guys think of Evolution?
• 9:34
  So February, the premium light event.
• 9:38
  I thought it was good. I thought you the ladies really
• 9:42
  showcase their their skills. So I thought it was good, I
• 9:48
  think. Most events are pretty good, you
• 9:50
  know, And surprises are always good, you know?
• 9:54
  So what was the surprise we got? Cashing.
• 10:01
  No, that wasn't a surprise. We knew that was going to
• 10:03
  happen. Yeah.
• 10:05
  At the end. The end of evolution.
• 10:11
  Or you don't even remember. Wasn't it Black Rock, Lester?
• 10:14
  No evolution was the women women.
• 10:18
  Oh my bad, I'm getting them all mixed up.
• 10:24
  At first, Seth Rollins versus CM Punk versus Jay USO versus LA
• 10:29
  Knight for the Fatal Four Way World Heavyweight Championship.
• 10:33
  In June, Seth Rollins began feuding with LA Knight, with
• 10:36
  both competing in the Money in the Bank Lighter match at the
• 10:38
  Epitomis event where Rollins won the briefcase after Rollins
• 10:42
  stablemates Brown Breaker and Bronson Reed interfered.
• 10:45
  Knight and Rollins continue feuding, leading to a match at
• 10:48
  Saturday Night's Main Event where Knight one after Rollins
• 10:50
  seemingly injured his knee. After that, Breaker competed in
• 10:54
  the number one's contenders match gauntlet for a World
• 10:57
  Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam.
• 10:59
  During the match, Breaker limited all competitors
• 11:00
  including Knight and Jay USO, who also had his own problems
• 11:04
  with Rollins group since after WrestleMania 41.
• 11:07
  However, Breaker was limited by Rollins long time rival CM Punk
• 11:12
  who earned the title match. On Night 1 of SummerSlam, USO
• 11:16
  teamed with his cousin Roman Reigns to defeat Brown Breaker
• 11:21
  and Bronson Reed in A tag team match, while later that night in
• 11:26
  the main event. While later that night in the
• 11:29
  main event, Punk won the World Heavy Championship only for
• 11:31
  Rollins to appear and reveal he had feigned his knee injury as
• 11:35
  subsequently cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase Punk to
• 11:39
  win the championship. On the following episode of Raw,
• 11:41
  Rollins group named was revealed as division and later that
• 11:46
  evening, Knight faced Rollins for the championship with
• 11:50
  Breaker and Reed band from ringside, but it ended in a DQ
• 11:54
  win for Rollins after Punk attacked him.
• 11:57
  The Vision got the upper hand on Punk and Knight.
• 12:00
  The following episode, Punk and Knight defeated Breaker and Reed
• 12:04
  by DQ after Rawls attacked Punk. USO then appeared to help Knight
• 12:08
  and Punk brawling with the Vision.
• 12:10
  Raw general manager Adam Peers then announced that Rollins
• 12:15
  would defend the championship against Punk, Knight and USO in
• 12:19
  a Fatal 4 rematch at Clash in Paris.
• 12:22
  You know what we're not pulling for?
• 12:27
  Yeah, you know. Who you're not pulling for, it's
• 12:33
  OK. I think Seth's going to retain.
• 12:37
  Seth's going to retain, OK. I think that's my my prediction.
• 12:43
  We talked about that earlier. I can't feel the same way.
• 12:46
  But I wouldn't be surprised if LA Knight finally got his,
• 12:53
  finally got his shot and they let him have it because he's
• 12:57
  due. I think he's due.
• 13:00
  But really, I do think that Seth is going to retain.
• 13:04
  I think somebody else is going to come helping.
• 13:09
  OK, So what is your straight up prediction?
• 13:15
  We, we, we'll get a fourth person in vision.
• 13:19
  We'll see somebody in there, obviously.
• 13:24
  So it's going to like gas out. Then you got LA Knight in there
• 13:28
  and then CM Punk, obviously it's going to like something's going
• 13:31
  to happen where the rest of the vision is going to come out,
• 13:34
  Breaker read. And then we get the 4th person
• 13:36
  in there. Who do you think is a?
• 13:43
  Who do you think is a good possible 4th member?
• 13:49
  Who Right now? Yeah.
• 13:51
  I don't know. I don't know yet.
• 14:07
  No, I I can't see anybody else what to.
• 14:17
  Say so. I keep seeing like rumors that
• 14:21
  they think Carmelo should be in there in the vision.
• 14:27
  OK. That'd be a good one.
• 14:28
  Yeah. Quick miss right now.
• 14:30
  Yeah, but he'll dump. He'll turn on miss and be part
• 14:35
  of the vision. But then that means he'd have to
• 14:37
  be on on Raw instead of on Smackdown.
• 14:45
  I think I want Jay to get it back, to be honest.
• 14:52
  I like to stay as the champion. I definitely popular.
• 15:00
  Popular vote? I think so, yeah.
• 15:02
  Right. Right.
• 15:04
  Yeah, I just, I just don't think Seth's had it long enough.
• 15:07
  So I think they're gonna keep he.
• 15:09
  I think that's gonna keep it. Yeah, true.
• 15:15
  That's going to keep it. I like that.
• 15:19
  Whether it's honest or cheating or whatever, I just don't think
• 15:23
  they're going to take the belt yet.
• 15:24
  I don't think they're going to strip him.
• 15:27
  I think it's too early. Next up is Becky Lynch versus
• 15:30
  Nikki Bella for the WE Women's Intercontinental Championship.
• 15:35
  On the August 4th episode of Rob, Becky Lynch gloated over
• 15:38
  her successful defense of the WE Women's Arcana Championship at
• 15:42
  SummerSlam before being interrupted by Nikki Bella, who
• 15:45
  called Lynch a disappointment. After some exchange of words,
• 15:50
  Lynch punched Bella. 2 weeks later, Lynch successfully
• 15:53
  defended the title against Natalia, who had taken issues
• 15:56
  with Lynch after her disrespect with Bella.
• 15:59
  After the match, Lynch attacked Natalia, but Bella appeared to
• 16:03
  make the same. On the next episode, Nikki and
• 16:07
  Becky engaged in another verbal confrontation, with Nikki
• 16:10
  challenging Becky for a match with the title on the line,
• 16:14
  which Becky first refused. However, Becky eventually agreed
• 16:18
  to defend the title against Nikki Bella at Clash in Paris.
• 16:23
  This is fuck. He's gonna whip down, you know,
• 16:32
  they'll let Nikki Bella have good, some good licks in, but
• 16:36
  Becky's going to do a choke slam and get her, I think.
• 16:40
  Yeah, me too. Becky's not going to lose it to
• 16:43
  her, not she. So part of my frustration is I'm
• 16:49
  sick and tired of people coming on and they go straight to the
• 16:53
  top and get the belt period. So I think it's too soon because
• 16:57
  how many times has Nikki shown her face in the last few months,
• 16:59
  right? You can count on one hand.
• 17:01
  So I don't think they're going to give her a belt or nothing.
• 17:06
  I mean, she was. Supposed to face Liv Morgan
• 17:09
  Evolution or Summer Slam? One of those, but even.
• 17:11
  Then she shouldn't have faced Liv Morgan in my opinion.
• 17:15
  You know, it was just too soon. Well, that's who Liv chose so.
• 17:24
  What? So that's who, Liv.
• 17:26
  Chose so they you know, at evolution they were letting the
• 17:30
  Champions choose their opponents, right?
• 17:35
  Right, but she. Chose.
• 17:41
  I think, yeah, I think Becky's gonna retain.
• 17:46
  I don't think Nikki Bella's gonna.
• 17:49
  She, you know, she may put up a good fight, but, you know, I
• 17:52
  don't think she's gonna win. What do you think, Evo?
• 18:01
  She's gone, yeah. Becky, of course Becky was like,
• 18:06
  yeah, you know what the whole shot about?
• 18:10
  Hey, John, Cena and her used to be together and, you know,
• 18:13
  power, a couple of that like, really got her.
• 18:17
  Yeah. It was like, yeah, she can't
• 18:21
  handle this right now. Like.
• 18:23
  Oops. Low blow.
• 18:27
  Yeah, but you know they do that sometimes.
• 18:31
  Tiffy did too. So they like to low blow and
• 18:35
  talk about the men's. That's her soft spot.
• 18:38
  And The funny thing is that everybody, as soon as they said
• 18:40
  something about it, like everybody remembers the whole
• 18:42
  thing with Nikki and John Cena. And I'm just like.
• 18:45
  Yeah, it's like traumatic. For us, too, it was like, do we
• 18:48
  want to hear John Cena talk about why'd you cook?
• 18:53
  Why can't you do this? When?
• 18:56
  I said you could move in. I didn't mean that you could do
• 18:58
  this too. Yeah, here's your thousand page
• 19:03
  rental agreement. I was like, I couldn't believe
• 19:10
  he made her sign that. I was like, that's backed up.
• 19:15
  Why don't leave, Leave. Get rid of it.
• 19:18
  I was like, I don't want this show.
• 19:19
  I was like, damn it. Yeah.
• 19:22
  And then the mid was right when he says like, you're only going
• 19:26
  to be here for this whole year. He's going to propose to you,
• 19:30
  you're being engaged. And then the next year you're
• 19:33
  you guys are going to break up. And it happened.
• 19:37
  Yep. So now I'm like, every time
• 19:42
  they're both there together, I'm like, I wonder what it's like
• 19:46
  backstage for these two. Yeah, I don't know.
• 19:51
  'Cause like I saw something that was kind of, it was a
• 19:55
  compilation and they were showing, you know, that Nikki's
• 20:00
  really hurt every time she sees him, you know, because.
• 20:05
  Of what they had, right Well, you know, that was supposed to
• 20:11
  be her husband. I mean, she was with him for a
• 20:14
  while and really wanted to be married to him.
• 20:16
  But she, you know, they want to have children and, you know,
• 20:20
  everybody, she was settling. You know, we could talk about
• 20:23
  this soap opera drama for a while, but.
• 20:26
  You. Know it's when, when you think
• 20:28
  you're going to be committed to somebody, well, you are
• 20:30
  committed and then you think it's good, you know, it's going
• 20:32
  to lead to marriage and stuff. I mean, those breakups are
• 20:35
  always hard. You know, they're always hard.
• 20:37
  Even if they're volatile, even if they're abusive, even if they
• 20:40
  were, you know what I mean? No matter what it is when you're
• 20:42
  with somebody that long and then you break up and you're supposed
• 20:46
  to be marriage and, you know, all kinds of stuff and families
• 20:48
  involved and they live together and their families, you know,
• 20:52
  there was just so much going on in a relationship like normal
• 20:55
  people is hard. So I don't blame her.
• 20:58
  And, you know, he was a good person and they were supposed to
• 21:02
  be together. They were supposed to be, you
• 21:03
  know, they were the IT wrestling couple, you know, and went down
• 21:07
  in flames. And I think that's going to
• 21:09
  always be hard for her, especially now that he's happy,
• 21:12
  you know? Yeah, he's happy with someone.
• 21:15
  Who don't want kids, so she wanted children, so she got her
• 21:21
  little Mateo. Yep, and some other.
• 21:27
  Drama, but that's a whole another podcast.
• 21:29
  Yeah, all. Right, we're back.
• 21:31
  Technical difficulties, whatever, it's fine.
• 21:35
  So Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella women's are championship.
• 21:40
  The same thing I said about the about Lyra Belkaria.
• 21:44
  You know that she doesn't need the inter college championship
• 21:48
  when there's like three other belts to go and go after.
• 21:52
  Same thing with Nikki. Like I but like I love that the
• 21:57
  more established women are going after the the lower belts, the
• 22:03
  and make it something more while the new generation are going
• 22:09
  after the big belts. And then you have Chelsea.
• 22:19
  Yeah, Chelsea. Green there you.
• 22:27
  Go. I didn't like her at 1st and she
• 22:30
  just grows on you. She's awesome, I love her.
• 22:33
  Yeah, she does. Like, as soon as I heard she's
• 22:37
  going to be a Karen to be anything, let's do it, Let's do
• 22:42
  it. Yeah.
• 22:43
  And ever since, it's just like this is awesome.
• 22:46
  But I was just saying, today I saw online on social media, they
• 22:51
  had a clip of a fight of Chelsea fighting Penta.
• 22:55
  Dude, I don't know if you've seen it.
• 22:57
  It was so intense. I was like, like, they were
• 23:00
  beating the living, you know what, out of each other.
• 23:05
  It was ridiculous. You, you just now pay.
• 23:09
  You just now discover a Lucha Underground.
• 23:14
  What is going on I. Was like what is going on?
• 23:17
  This is insane. She's a big deal.
• 23:20
  What? I don't get is how?
• 23:22
  Come, they always made a big deal about women fighting men.
• 23:25
  Like now they won't even hit a woman.
• 23:27
  I'm like hit her, hit her and they won't even do it.
• 23:29
  You know, China, it was like China was like, OK, she's as big
• 23:33
  as a man, China's going to do it.
• 23:35
  And then over the years, maybe a few here or there, but like for
• 23:38
  the longest time I'm like, what is it with them not letting
• 23:41
  women fight men if they really want to?
• 23:44
  I mean, not like, you know, she's in the ring.
• 23:46
  He just comes and slaps her for no reason kind of fight.
• 23:48
  But you know, like that if they challenge them or challenge each
• 23:51
  other or, you know, when they drew the, what's it called,
• 23:54
  mixed double S or whatever. And you know, they purposely,
• 23:58
  you know, tag out. You can't hit me because I'm a
• 24:00
  woman. I'm like hit her on the way out.
• 24:02
  Like, do something, you know? And then I see Chelsea taking it
• 24:07
  to Penta and I'm like, am I on another planet?
• 24:10
  Like what is going on that? Was a whole different era right
• 24:15
  there. Go watch and go and watch the
• 24:17
  entire thing from the beginning. Yo and EO and.
• 24:22
  Penta fought too. Yeah, I saw that.
• 24:26
  I saw that one now. Like that.
• 24:27
  What is it with Penta? Beating on women?
• 24:30
  OK, let me rephrase. No, I just.
• 24:36
  I kind of like it. I mean, Chelsea was, I mean,
• 24:41
  taking it, you know, you're so used to, like I said, Chelsea
• 24:44
  Green, a comical Chelsea in a dumpster cake on her face, you
• 24:48
  know, stuff like that. But this was some serious
• 24:50
  fighting. Like, you know, I.
• 24:53
  I know she. Could take a hit because they'd
• 24:55
  be whooping her tail, you know, just regularly to the point
• 24:58
  where, you know, they busted her face.
• 25:00
  She had a black eye, you know, but and you know, bloody nose
• 25:04
  plenty of times. So I know she could take a hit.
• 25:05
  I know she's a tough girl, but just to finally see her wrestle
• 25:09
  to her full potential like that was I was very impressed, You
• 25:13
  know, pretty amazed because they just sometimes they just don't
• 25:15
  let the women fight, you know what I mean?
• 25:17
  Like they just don't let fight. But all right, we better get
• 25:21
  back on these predictions. We're gonna be here till
• 25:22
  midnight. Midnight.
• 25:24
  Pacific. Midnight.
• 25:25
  Pacific Prime. Yeah, my midnight.
• 25:28
  Is like I. Know that's what I'm saying.
• 25:30
  I'm talking about Midnight Pacific.
• 25:35
  So like, anyway, Becky, Nikki, Oh I.
• 25:40
  I said Becky, retain. Yeah.
• 25:44
  We all got Becky, yeah. Up next, it's a good old
• 25:49
  fashioned headbanger Shamus versus Rusev in a good old
• 25:52
  fashioned donnybrook match on the May 26th episode of Raw.
• 25:57
  After Rusev defeated Akira Tozawa, Rusev continues to
• 26:00
  attack Tozawa with Shamus making the save.
• 26:07
  On the May 26th of After Rusev defeated Akira, Rusev continued
• 26:11
  to attack Tazawa with Shamus making the save. 3 weeks later,
• 26:15
  both Rusev and Shamus competed in a Kingdom Ring Tournament
• 26:18
  Fatal Four way qualified match, but neither one they faced each
• 26:22
  other in the June 30th episode where Rusev won with a rematch
• 26:26
  taking place on July 21st episode where Sheamus won.
• 26:30
  A third match between both men took place on the August 4th
• 26:32
  episode which ended in a double count out.
• 26:35
  On the August 18th episode, after several confrontations,
• 26:37
  Roger manager Adam Pierce announced that Seamus and Rusev
• 26:41
  would face each other in a kiddo fashioned donnybrook match at
• 26:44
  Clash in Paris. I'm tired.
• 26:49
  At this point, I don't care. I'm.
• 26:53
  Serious, I'm tired of them. This is how many times have they
• 26:56
  fought? Like what could possibly be?
• 26:59
  Different. It's the.
• 27:01
  Same formula, you know it's. Like when Carmelo and what's his
• 27:05
  face spot like? You know, it's like, OK, best,
• 27:10
  best out of seven. It's like, why, why?
• 27:13
  Why? It didn't prove nothing.
• 27:14
  Yeah. It's it just proved that you if
• 27:18
  you can go, you can go. Sheamus thing is like the same
• 27:23
  formula though. Like he fights someone 7 times
• 27:27
  and. Ends up.
• 27:28
  Being their acting partner Cesaro OK.
• 27:34
  So I want to hear what you have to say first.
• 27:36
  They're trying. To.
• 27:39
  As. Opposed I just want to feel you
• 27:40
  in fight insight because like I said, I don't.
• 27:43
  This. One, I think it's just it's
• 27:45
  flop. I agree I'm.
• 27:47
  Just tired. You know at this.
• 27:49
  Point I think it's fluff. I think it's fluff.
• 27:51
  I think they're just adding a fight in there.
• 27:52
  We've seen them fight for months now.
• 27:54
  It's like, what more can happen? So I think it's just fluff.
• 27:57
  So you're professional inside please.
• 28:04
  This time is no hold barred and like no DQ so it doesn't make a
• 28:12
  difference no it. Don't like if you?
• 28:15
  Hated the first six matches that they've been in. 300 matches
• 28:19
  that they've been in. You're gonna hate this one too.
• 28:21
  I'll probably end up raiding the fridge or going to the bathroom
• 28:26
  during the yeah. Break snack time, Yeah.
• 28:30
  Ordering a piece of time you see that's.
• 28:32
  Right there about CM. Punk, but he's fighting too many
• 28:34
  people right now, so. Yeah, she put that in there.
• 28:45
  Hey Mike. Man, I'm really starting to hate
• 28:47
  her. He said this is her last time on
• 28:54
  the show. I know.
• 28:55
  I know he put me a timeout for two years.
• 29:03
  Roman Reigns was Bronson Reed for the Shula Falla at Survivor
• 29:07
  Series war games in November 2024.
• 29:09
  Roman Reigns and Bronson Reed were both a part of the Men's
• 29:12
  War Games match where Reigns team defeated Reed's team.
• 29:16
  Reed would take a hiatus due to an injury he sustained during
• 29:19
  the match, while Reigns would go on to Main Event Night 1 of
• 29:23
  WrestleMania 41 in April 2025, where Reigns was defeated by
• 29:27
  Seth Rollins in the Triple Threat match also involving Sam
• 29:30
  Punk. After Paul Heyman betrayed
• 29:33
  Reigns and Punk two nights later on Raw, Braun Breaker joined
• 29:36
  Rollins and Haman's alliance and attacked Reigns, taking him out
• 29:41
  indefinitely. During this time at Saturday
• 29:44
  Night's Main Event, Reed was also recruited into Rawlins
• 29:47
  group. Raines would return on July 14th
• 29:50
  episode of Raw, saving Punk and his cousin Jay USO from a post
• 29:54
  match assault by Reed and Breaker.
• 29:56
  Raines and Uzo defeated both Reed and Breaker in A tag team
• 30:00
  match at Night 1 of SummerSlam. 2 nights later on Raw, Raines
• 30:04
  was viciously attacked by Rawlins group now known as
• 30:08
  Division, with Reed stealing Raines shoes after the assault
• 30:12
  thumping Reed had also done a few weeks ago. 2 weeks later on
• 30:16
  the August 18th episode, Reed and Roz attempted to interfere
• 30:19
  in an Extreme Rules match between USO and Breaker, only
• 30:22
  for Reigns to come out and toward them, helping USO defeat
• 30:26
  Breaker. After that, Reigns challenged
• 30:28
  Reed to a magic clash in Paris, which Reed accepted.
• 30:32
  The match was made official by Roger and her manager Adam
• 30:36
  Pierce. That's a mess.
• 30:39
  That's. Hilarious that their stuff,
• 30:43
  their promos was so funny. I do the other night.
• 30:47
  I loved it. But dude, who at the creative
• 30:50
  table? Was like I know.
• 30:51
  We should get him to school shoes.
• 30:53
  I'm like, come on. I just, it wouldn't be WWE if
• 30:59
  they didn't, right? Like, yeah.
• 31:01
  I. Want to see this episode of
• 31:03
  Unreal? Like, what do you guys think we
• 31:05
  should do with? Yeah.
• 31:07
  Yeah, yeah. Let's hang.
• 31:10
  Remember when back in the day when, yeah, used to take your
• 31:13
  shoes and just throw them up in the freaking rafters?
• 31:16
  Yeah. Here but.
• 31:17
  Have them like, you know, as a, as a, as a trophy, right?
• 31:21
  There's a. Necklace as a.
• 31:22
  Necklace, Yeah. I say Roman, I say Roman and he
• 31:27
  gonna snatch them shoes back. Yep.
• 31:33
  Bronson's collecting shoes just like Thanos is collecting
• 31:36
  stones. That's right.
• 31:39
  And they are different colors. Mind you, he has a white.
• 31:43
  He almost. He had on Monday and those were
• 31:46
  Gray so. I'm still I'm going to say
• 31:52
  Bronson by DQ. OK.
• 31:57
  And then? I didn't even know he was Simone
• 32:00
  either. I didn't.
• 32:03
  It's like he's from Australia. Like what?
• 32:06
  Yeah. There's a lot of Samoans and
• 32:08
  Fijians and a lot of Islanders are there.
• 32:10
  Yeah, but yeah, but, but so is what's her name?
• 32:16
  Her name used to be. Dakota Kai.
• 32:20
  Yeah, Dakota Kai Samoan too. Yeah, and she don't look a bit
• 32:24
  Samoan, but then when you see her with brown hair, you know,
• 32:28
  and natural, she does favor Samoans.
• 32:30
  So it's kind of funny, you know? But yeah, I think Roman
• 32:35
  everybody is. Oh, everybody but you.
• 32:38
  Well, I know Menace does, but what do you think?
• 32:40
  Yeah, everybody. But OK.
• 32:49
  Even Aria. Knows that.
• 32:51
  Yeah, my grandbaby, my green baby put her little one up.
• 32:58
  And finally we have John Cena versus Logan Paul.
• 33:01
  Just a regular good old fashioned match.
• 33:04
  Add Money in the Bank on the June 7th of Villainous.
• 33:07
  John Cena and Logan Paul team together in a losing effort on
• 33:11
  the August 8th episode of Smackdown.
• 33:12
  After turning face the previous week and now heroic, Cena
• 33:15
  reflected over his career and issued an open challenge, which
• 33:18
  was answered by Paul after an exchange of words.
• 33:23
  Cena wanted to face Paul on that night's episode, which Paul
• 33:26
  refused, instead challenging Cena to a magic clash in Paris,
• 33:30
  which Cena accepted. Who we got I'm I'm.
• 33:37
  Wearing shirt John. Cena, John.
• 33:39
  Cena the whole what's it called 23 thing like he he will like
• 33:49
  destroy you on the mic. He did it with Cody.
• 33:52
  Because he had to protect Cody. I still hate that, that he
• 33:55
  didn't like, go all in on Cody. Yeah.
• 33:57
  Like. Gave him like half of it and
• 34:00
  then that's it. But he the way he told Logan,
• 34:04
  like, I've done this for 23 years, you've done this for 23
• 34:07
  matches and I'm like that's that's it right there that's
• 34:12
  that's it right there. Yeah, the.
• 34:14
  Shots, yeah. Because he.
• 34:18
  Yeah. I mean, up until now, you know,
• 34:21
  he loses a lot of his big card matches, you know what I mean?
• 34:24
  Like. That was.
• 34:25
  Their MO for him for a while. It's like, why is John always
• 34:28
  losing, You know, so, but Logan is, you know, as much as I don't
• 34:34
  like Logan Paul, I feel he's a fantastic wrestler, like.
• 34:39
  He. Is, is he's so athletic, he's
• 34:42
  willing to do anything. And you know, on his podcast he
• 34:45
  says, you know, he trains hard, trains hard.
• 34:47
  So he is a sportsman. And I just, I was super
• 34:50
  impressed with his ability, you know, coming out of, you know,
• 34:54
  social media and influencer or content creator, whatever you
• 34:57
  want to call him into wrestling that I've been nothing but
• 35:01
  impressed with him. So it wouldn't surprise me if
• 35:04
  they did give him the win. But I just don't think they want
• 35:07
  John Cena to go out to him. So I, I, you know, to lose to
• 35:12
  him. So I'm I'm thinking John Cena as
• 35:14
  well, you know, but if Logan did win, I wouldn't be surprised
• 35:18
  because they give Logan wins and he's a great sportsman.
• 35:21
  So he's a good wrestler now as far as a person.
• 35:26
  And I'm like, come on now, like he's a good heel.
• 35:30
  He's a good heel. You know, I will say that.
• 35:32
  And you know, some of what he says in him and his brother,
• 35:35
  what they do, I don't agree with it, what they do a lot, but but
• 35:39
  that's separate, you know, that's separate as far as
• 35:41
  wrestling goes. You know, he's he's a good
• 35:44
  wrestler, but I'm going to pick John Cena and you.
• 35:49
  Know I know it's not going to be the main event but still I hope
• 35:54
  it opens the match the the night.
• 36:00
  Definitely get moments on that match, but I don't know.
• 36:04
  I think that they're going to give it to Logan.
• 36:07
  I think that's part of John Cena's like farewelling kind of
• 36:12
  the people that he's fighting or he says he doesn't pick him.
• 36:16
  But I really do think that he does have some say in it and I
• 36:20
  really 'cause like when he fought Austin Theory, I mean,
• 36:25
  you know, eons ago and, you know, he dogged him out on the
• 36:31
  Mike and everything and he did well for a while, but then, you
• 36:35
  know, he tanked after Vince was gone.
• 36:38
  I really think that it's John Cena's way of like giving The
• 36:44
  Next Generation their, their time.
• 36:48
  I, I really think that he's going to take the fall for this
• 36:51
  one. I I'm gonna go with Logan Paul.
• 36:55
  But I don't think Logan needs it, though.
• 36:57
  I don't think Logan, I don't think Logan needs a push from
• 36:59
  John Cena, 'cause he's challenged everybody, in fact
• 37:01
  has fought everybody well. Like well well, but.
• 37:05
  Drew is on. Drew is on Logan's side, so he
• 37:10
  might get some assistance. Well, maybe.
• 37:16
  Or at least. Yeah.
• 37:18
  OK, all right. And that was it.
• 37:27
  Let's go through them again. OK, Seth Rollins or CM Punk was
• 37:31
  J was over Zella Knight. J Seth Seth Seth Seth Seth Seth
• 37:42
  Becky. Lynch, Nikki.
• 37:43
  Bella. Becky.
• 37:44
  Becky. Becky Shaman versus Ruth don't
• 37:51
  care. Who cares?
• 37:51
  I. Bet.
• 37:53
  But you know what I was thinking, If you've got to pick
• 37:54
  somebody, I think there I say Sheamus, Yeah.
• 37:57
  Sheamus shamus. Roman versus Bronson.
• 38:02
  I say Bronson. Roman, Roman Roman it.
• 38:10
  Is John Cena versus Logan Paul Cena Cena?
• 38:14
  Logan. All right, all right, all right.
• 38:26
  Before we go this Saturday on the M3P podcast, we're diving to
• 38:29
  the dog days of summer. The summer vibes fade as back to
• 38:32
  school zoom, so let's get nostalgic.
• 38:34
  We want to know what was the last summer movie you watched
• 38:36
  before school started? Mine wasn't a summer movie.
• 38:40
  It was more like summer slam. Like, as soon as I watched
• 38:45
  summer slam, I just knew summer over, go back to school.
• 38:52
  And I hate it. Yeah.
• 38:54
  Like, I I couldn't wait for summer Slam to be here.
• 38:57
  And then summer slam happened. And then, like, that's great.
• 39:00
  You know, All right, cool. And then a few weeks later, I'm
• 39:07
  at school and talking about it, and they're like, huh.
• 39:10
  Like what was your favorite fare?
• 39:14
  Or Yeah, go ahead, Yeah. I can't really think of like a
• 39:21
  summer movie that I watched, you know, before school started, you
• 39:28
  know, I think I was just kind of hard outside, you know, I'd say.
• 39:33
  I think it's. Kind of hard for us because
• 39:35
  being military brats, or at least for me, school always
• 39:39
  started at a different time in a different area.
• 39:42
  Right, so I. Think for me, once football
• 39:45
  started, there it is. For me.
• 39:48
  Preseason. Once preseason starts and
• 39:50
  football starts, I know summer's over.
• 39:53
  So, yeah, there it is. That's the thing that's like,
• 39:55
  you know, summer slime happens and it's like a summer's over.
• 39:57
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like.
• 40:00
  Enjoying what you love? Yeah.
• 40:02
  Yeah, love watching and then. Like this thing that you love
• 40:05
  watching is going away, and now you have to go to something else
• 40:08
  and learn. Yeah.
• 40:09
  Yeah. And see, for me, I love
• 40:12
  football, but I hate the fall and winter.
• 40:14
  So when football comes, I know summer's over.
• 40:17
  But I know football's going to get me through the tough, the
• 40:20
  tough fall and winter season. Because I hate fall.
• 40:23
  I hate fall and winter. But football pulls me through
• 40:26
  and I love football. Love football?
• 40:29
  Love it. So that that's the indication
• 40:31
  for me, no matter where I've lived, once football starts,
• 40:34
  summer's over. Yeah.
• 40:39
  Yeah. Usually, like the movies that
• 40:42
  you went and saw were like right at the beginning, like when
• 40:46
  school was letting out. So things like, like Bianca said
• 40:50
  football or our baseball season because our team rarely made it,
• 40:57
  you know, into playoffs in most years.
• 41:01
  So when it was over that we knew it was time anyway to go back to
• 41:05
  school. But we're die hard Mariner fans.
• 41:13
  That's the best part about it. That's the best part about it.
• 41:18
  But also like watching watching summer slam at my grandma's
• 41:22
  house too though. Yeah, that must have been fun.
• 41:30
  That's lots of fun, yeah. I didn't get it too often since
• 41:35

  Takes on wrestling from you. That was fine.

  And each other. I just hope it wasn't too hard
• 47:28
  to follow who's who, you know, because of our voices sound
• 47:31
  similar sometimes. So who was it?
• 47:36
  And then we call each other by our wrong names, our real names.
• 47:38
  It's like, sorry. Oops.
