Episode 149 - Wrestlemania 40 Predictions · My Third Place Pod

0:12
None. It's time to once again
0:43
collectively point at the WrestleMania sign and get
0:47
ourselves hyped up for our version of the Super Bowl.
0:52
Our Grammys, our ass. Oscars.
0:56
Our MTV Music Video Awards. This is RMTV Music Video Awards.
1:01
This is very nice. Yes.
1:04
Yeah it is. It's WrestleMania week and you
1:09
know by now how jam packed this show gets for this weekend.
1:14
This is why I decided to get dressed up in my fancy clothes,
1:17
because it is now tradition of mind to do predictions.
1:20
On the two biggest night event of wrestling this year, we could
1:26
possibly see a storyline finally come to a sweet or bitter end.
1:33
Because I'm done hearing about finishing stories, aren't you?
1:39
Aren't you done about kind of finish the story?
1:43
Yes, very much so. I'm done.
1:47
Or have us tune in the next night on what's that.
1:50
Let's just get to it. I'm done.
1:55
Or have us tune in the next night on RAW like they did last
1:59
year and hope for the best we could possibly see the ending of
2:04
Mommy's reign. I hope not.
2:07
Or continue the winning streak laid out by Bianca Bellaire.
2:11
We could finally see a young man get revenge on his father and
2:14
put his mark and have his own WrestleMania moment.
2:18
You could see all of this in the span of two nights, as well as
2:21
the return of a special character designed by an
2:25
immortal fiend. And if you haven't yet watched
2:28
that Bray white immortal documentary, I say you go and do
2:31
that now and bring some Kleenex with you.
2:35
Oh boy, you haven't seen it, right?
2:39
No, no, thanks. OK, OK, you're gonna need it.
2:46
And if you don't know yet, alongside with me is my Co host
2:52
for the evening. I did tell her to dress fancy
2:55
again this year. She didn't.
3:00
Again, I feel like I'm the only one dressing fancy when nobody's
3:03
going to see us. It's OK.
3:06
I get it. I forgot.
3:08
I'm sorry. I'm dressing fancy.
3:13
Y'all y'all. Can't see it.
3:14
But I I am. This is a big moment for me.
3:18
This is the WrestleMania for the event.
3:22
After the 10,000 downloads, I'm having a party and you're all
3:28
invited. All right, so this year,
3:33
WrestleMania is Evan, dating for Philadelphia, PA at the Lincoln
3:36
Financial Field. We are still keeping the
3:40
condition of having it too nice. Instead of one big night, this
3:44
will be the second WrestleMania to be held in both the City of
3:46
Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania.
3:48
After WrestleMania 15 in 1999, Lovely and the first
3:53
WrestleMania held after the company was sold to Endeavor.
3:56
The sale was finalized in September 2023 with WE and
4:00
Endeavors other subsidiary Ultimate Fighting Championship
4:03
emerging to become divisions of a new entity called TKO Group
4:06
Holdings. This subsequently marks the
4:10
first WrestleMania onto the TKO banner and with WE not under
4:15
McMahon family control, this will also be the final
4:19
WrestleMania event to live stream on the standalone WE
4:22
network that's still available in most countries outside the
4:25
United States. As beginning in January 2025,
4:29
the service in those countries will shut down with WE content
4:34
Moving to Netflix. I am so excited we're going to
4:40
see some Lucha Underground stuff.
4:43
I hope so. We're going to see.
4:45
I'm excited for that stuff. Some movie stuff we're going to
4:49
see some 2020 stuff, well, 2020 possibly around there.
4:59
The official theme song for the event is Gasoline by the
5:02
Weekend, which marks the 5th consecutive year that a weekend
5:05
song has been used for WrestleMania.
5:07
WrestleMania 39 was less than zero, 38 was sacrificed. 37
5:12
would save your tears, 36 was blinding light.
5:15
At this point, the weekend works for WWE.
5:19
Let's just be real. As part of the WrestleMania
5:24
festuities, WWE will be holding a number of events throughout
5:28
the week. WWE Hall of Fame Radiator will
5:30
present his Dead Man show on Thursday, April 4th at The
5:34
Fillmore Philadelphia beginning the same day and running through
5:37
April 8th at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Convention Center
5:41
in Philadelphia. There will be a fan convention
5:43
called W World at Wrestle Mania in partnership with Fanatics
5:47
event which takes over the access hole thing that happened
5:52
years ago. It was called WrestleMania
5:53
Access. It was like a whole week five
5:57
day event in partnership with Fanatics.
6:01
Event is a five day event includes interview panel
6:03
sessions with W wrestlers at WWE2K24 gaming tournament.
6:07
Just bought that today. I can't wait to play it live.
6:11
Podcast recordings meet and greet with wrestlers at the
6:14
large merchandise store with various memorabilia honoring
6:16
WrestleMania 40s history. W World replaced the
6:20
WrestleMania fan access event that had been held at each
6:23
year's WrestleMania prior to WrestleMania Theaters 36 in
6:26
2020. WE commentator Pat McAfee will
6:30
host a live edition of his Pitmas ESPN afternoon show at W
6:35
World on Friday, April 5th. However, the night before
6:39
WrestleMania 40. On April 5th, WE will kick off
6:42
WrestleMania weekend with a special WrestleMania edition of
6:46
Friday Night Smackdown featuring DeAndre the Giant Memorial
6:50
Battle Royal. Immediately after Smackdown, the
6:54
2024 WE Hall of Fame induction ceremony with commence, which
6:58
will we will discuss in just a few the afternoon.
7:04
WrestleMania Saturday, though using NXT brand will hold its
7:07
annual WrestleMania Week event Stand and deliver.
7:11
WrestleMania Week will conclude with the post WrestleMania
7:13
edition of Monday Night Raw on April 8th.
7:16
These events will be held live at the nearby Wells Fargo
7:19
Center. I'm hype, can't wait.
7:22
What are you looking forward to? WrestleMania One and Two?
7:31
Night One and Two, that one too. Yes, you know, I do want to
7:36
watch Standard deliver, but it's like, you know what?
7:39
It's just going to. I think it's just going to be
7:42
stressful to watch it because I'm in anticipation of
7:46
WrestleMania. So I think I might wait on that.
7:51
Yeah, that's true. Philadelphia's not only hosting
7:55
WrestleMania, people from all over the world will come to
7:57
watch, and they usually stay at hotels and enjoy the scenery a
8:00
week in advance. So local wrestling promotions
8:02
take advantage of that and host their shows that exact week.
8:05
So for the second year in a row I gave you the itinerary.
8:09
We we did this last year. It was fun, wasn't it?
8:14
Yes, it all starts Monday, April 1st, but by the time y'all hear

26:56
All right, let's talk about this year's W Hall of Fame induction
27:00
ceremony. Who are you most excited for?
27:07
You know, I I got to go with, you know, Paul Heyman.
27:12
Paul Heyman. Yes.
27:13
Yes, because I remember watching him in the 90s as Polly
27:19
Dangerously and I thought he was.
27:24
He's such a jerk back then and he still is.
27:27
He still is. But I must say his promo skills
27:33
are amazing. He cuts promos.
27:38
He knows how to talk. From what I hear and seen.
27:43
He's a great businessman and he deserves to be in the holiday.
27:49
So that's amazing. And I knew before they said it
27:57
on Monday or Friday whenever they said it that Roman was
28:02
going to be inducting him. Oh, did he?
28:04
Is he? Yeah.
28:06
OK. So I saw when when it came out
28:11
that he was that Paul was going to the Hall of Fame, I saw a
28:19
story that said Roman Reigns was going to induct him.
28:24
So I was like, oh, of course that would be like, you know,
28:30
that's like #1, Why would you think anybody else would?
28:33
And then anybody from ECW, I think, well, true, but they
28:40
were. But they were saying, you know,
28:41
that then that story disappeared.
28:45
Yeah. So I think it was leaked and so
28:50
I was like, OK, and then, you know, Roman has been on
28:56
different, you know, podcasts or you know, shows and he's always
29:03
said, I don't know who's going to be inducting him, but whoever
29:07
does needs to know about this, this and this.
29:11
You know, I was just saying it's important that how he's been,
29:17
you know, a person that is important to this business.
29:22
You know, he started, you know, from the bottom and now look at
29:25
him. So he's like he's like, you
29:28
know, it's just not just not anybody can induct him.
29:32
It has to be a special person, you know.
29:36
And then they said that he was going to induct him.
29:40
I was like, I already knew that. But I I think it's awesome, you
29:48
know, I think it's all good. And then I'm interested to see,
29:53
I don't, I know this is going to be a spoiler for you, but then I
29:58
don't know if you follow The Rock on social media.
30:04
But he said he's inducting his grandmother into the Hall of
30:10
Fame. So I'm interested to see how
30:13
she, you know how she was a promoter.
30:17
Oh, of course. That's the first one on the list
30:21
right here. The posthumous inductee, one of
30:24
them. Leah Mayavia, one of wrestling
30:26
first female promoters. Ren Polynesian Pro Wrestling PPW
30:29
a territory of the National Wrestling Alliance in Hawaii in
30:32
the mid 1980s. Her promotion ran a show called
30:36
Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling on the financial news Network.
30:40
We talked most about this last year during episode rewatch of
30:45
Young Rock. So like yeah, I get why he would
30:50
induct her this year. Like we we saw mostly about it.
30:54
We also saw the whole thing where hey, Roman versus Rock was
30:58
teased on that show as well. So everything from that point on
31:03
is Canon. Yeah.
31:06
Everything from the rock show, from the young rock is Canon.
31:09
Even though you don't believe it.
31:11
It's Canon. I'm calling it right now.
31:13
Like they planted the seeds of Roman versus rock back there to
31:17
go into this year. I was like, oh, Nope, don't want
31:19
to see it. Tony versus Roman.
31:24
We know you did that back then, but we don't want to see it.
31:28
Fine. But yeah, Leah, my via
31:31
everything that she's done on that show, like, I feel like
31:34
it's real. And like she helped.
31:38
She produced one of the a, a big event out in Hawaii, which had,
31:43
like I talked about on the show, it had Roddy, Roddy Piper, like
31:49
basically all the 80s superstars, 80s wrestlers from
31:53
back then. Oh, what's his face?
31:57
The Rock's father, Rocky Johnson, and his taxi partner.
32:01
And like, everybody was there. And like, even after that, the
32:07
whole thing with The Rock and falling out with Vince, it was
32:13
all there. So the whole thing was like,
32:15
yeah, I get it. Like, yeah, go ahead, do it.
32:17
I'm not surprised. Like they've been talking about
32:19
it for so long that like, all right, finally, Leah.
32:22
My via gets on there. And and not because The Rock has
32:26
some pull now. Like, no, she deserves it.
32:28
Yeah, we get it. I get it.
32:31
Like, why? Why?
32:32
Why? It's like you guys haven't been
32:33
freaking paying attention. You guys haven't been watching.
32:36
She deserves it. Of course she helped.
32:39
Now it looks like I need to watch young Rock.
32:43
Oh, it is. Put it on my list.
32:46
Put it on your list. It's a great show.
32:48
And then come back on the podcast and listen to like some
32:52
of the episodes that we do on here about it and we discuss it.
32:55
Michael, myself and we break it down.
32:59
We like talk about the Easter eggs.
33:02
We talk about who there was a episode where they mentioned the
33:07
N.W.A who, what actor is is portraying that part.
33:14
I even talked to a the actor that addressed us that was
33:19
playing Sting. I messaged him on Instagram.
33:22
I told him he did such a great job.
33:24
He said thank you. Yeah, that's all.
33:28
So these are all awesome characters.
33:30
Like you guys would love it. Like any anyone, anyone that
33:34
even if you're not, if you're a non wrestling fan you would love
33:37
it. It is such a freaking awesome
33:39
show. I gave you the tidbits.
33:41
I gave you the play by play, even the wrestling stuff, even
33:45
the stuff that the Attitude Era. There is a moment where some guy
33:51
is trying to sabotage young rock Rocky back in the Attitude Era
33:59
and nobody knows who this guy is.
34:01
He's just known as Chad. Up until I'm looking around and
34:05
like getting information from all these other people, it's
34:07
like, hey, who's Chad? Who do you think of Chad is?
34:09
Who do you think of Chad is? It goes by to where, like the
34:13
timeline is Chad is probably Shawn Michaels and he's like
34:21
because he's not there anymore and there's a brace on his leg.
34:25
His move is the street chin music.
34:30
So they give you like hints as to who it might have been like.
34:34
Chad is friends with this guy. I was like, hey, what's going on
34:37
in sport? You know, like all that stuff
34:40
and it just basically, they people just basically told me it
34:43
was like Shawn Michaels. I'm like, all right, cool.
34:47
And now I'm watching this whole episode again and saying that
34:49
from a different perspective. So yeah, you need to watch it.

46:50
Mommy, Mommy's coming through. Like, why take it away from her
46:55
now? You know, if they did, it's.
46:59
I would say it's probably they were going to start the demise
47:04
of Judgement Day. I don't know.
47:07
Not that. Yeah, you see the little cracks
47:12
that are happening. Unfortunately, I hope it's not
47:16
true, 'cause I actually like Judgment Day as a faction.
47:20
I think they're they're pretty spot on.
47:24
They're really good heels, right?
47:29
Speaking of which, I'll get to it when I when when we get to
47:33
that part. So yeah, Ria Ripley, right.

I mean, that was quick. Yeah.
47:42
Oh, here comes my favorite Gunter versus Sami Zayn for the

48:05
Sami Zayn. Sammy's gonna bleed his chest.
48:13
Gonna be it's gonna be red. Oh, my God, Sammy.
48:20
Are you sure? What did Sammy do to piss people
48:23
off? Why?
48:28
Like these are these are easy matches to, like, predict.
48:31
Of course, Gunther. Of course I'm gonna count how
48:35
many? How many slaps Gunther is
48:37
hitting. Poor Sammy, man.
48:43
That's that's a lot of pain in there.
48:46
I mean Sammy last year won the the attacking titles.
48:50
This year he's all like, I'm going to die.
48:56
So yeah, hopefully it's like, I don't, I don't see it.
48:59
I don't see anything here. Gunther.
49:01
Gunther has this in the mat in the back.
49:04
Yeah, Yep. Gunther.
49:07
I mean, I like, you know, I like, I like this match up, you
49:11
know, 'cause I like Sammy. I like Gunther, 'cause they are
49:15
both really good athletes. But I don't see Sammy winning.
49:21
I think they want to keep him, keep Gunther as the, you know,
49:26
the longest reigning, you know, Intercontinental champion.
49:31
He hasn't even had it a year yet.
49:34
That's what's so mind blowing to me.
49:37
You did. You know, I think.
49:40
No, not. Oh, no.
49:42
Excuse me. You're right.
49:43
Two years. I think they're going to go for
49:45
the two year Mark. We're going to go for two years.
49:47
All right. Yeah.
49:50
I love a good little dog story. It just like not at the expense
49:54
of Sammy, maybe. What's his face from Alpha
50:00
Academy? Chad Gable.
50:03
Chad Gable. Yeah, like, maybe him.
50:05
Yeah, I can see, like a good underdog story there.
50:08
I can just totally see it and make him the next Kurt Angle.
50:12
But Sami's saying, like, yeah, how many times are you going to
50:16
give him the underdog story? He did it last year.
50:18
He did like an enrollment. It's the same storyline over and
50:25
over again. It's like, I can do it, I can do
50:28
it. And you're dead again.
50:33
All right, so we're picking Gunther next Match 6 Pack Tag
50:38
Team Ladder Match for the Undisputed WE Tag Team
50:40
Championships. A new addendum here.
50:43
The match ends after both titles of The Undisputed Championship,
50:46
the raw smacked tag titles have been retrieved on the March 11th
50:50
episode of Raw, General Manager, Adam Pearson, Smackdown General
50:53
Manager, and Nick. All of this announced that at
50:55
WrestleMania 40, The Judgment Day Finn Valerie David Preach
50:57
will defend the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship in a six
51:01
pack tag team match, ladder match.
51:04
Qualifying matches for the 518 spots, three team for Raw.
51:06
Two team from smack down a curved over the subsequent
51:09
episodes of Raw. Smack down.
51:11
The three teams from Raw were determined We'll follow fire
51:13
matches on the March 18th episode of Raw which were won by
51:17
DIY joining around on the Tomaso Champa or Regeneration X.
51:21
The Awesome Truth Miss and R Truth and A New Day.
51:24
Kofi Kings and Xavier Wood Two team for smack down with
51:27
determined by 210 brackets which were won by A Town Down Under.
51:30
Austin Deary and Grayson Waller and New Catch Republic.
51:33
Pete Dunn and Tyler Bate. All faces in this match on the
51:38
Raw March Twain Night definition breakdown where all faces you
51:43
got DIY Truth Awesome and Truth The New Day and New Catch
51:49
Republic. Yeah The 8 Town down.
51:52
They're heels. Yeah.
51:54
Down under. So 8 Town Down and Judgment Day
51:59
are the only heels in there. Yeah, on April 1st the match was
52:03
confirmed of Night for Night One.
52:04
It was also clarified that both of subtitles under the Other
52:07
Dispute Championship, the wrong Smackdown tag titles had to be
52:10
retrieved for the match to end. So even if Judgement Day wins
52:14
one of the belts, they're still there until the other belts are
52:20
down. So they can still retrieve the
52:22
other belts as well. Yes.
52:25
Or we could see a new tag team. Yeah, they could do splitting
52:30
the titles. They're splitting the titles.
52:33
But we could also see a new tag team, or I mean a new, possibly
52:39
the same tag team getting those belts.
52:41
Also true. Yep, got to take, they're
52:47
probably going to put all four belts up there.
52:49
You know, two belts first and then the other two belts.
52:53
That's why it's going to take so long.
52:56
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods again, that's tag team
52:58
champions. Oh damn, that's like or we I
53:06
could finally see Johnny Garrano to mazel Champa.
53:10
Next match is I. But I also love how awesome
53:14
theory and Johnny Garrano in the same match and they're fighting
53:19
each other. I know one day, two years ago,
53:23
they were on the way, in the way.
53:26
But remember when Johnny Gargano came to the main roster?
53:32
He sucker punched Austin Theory. Yeah, So, So, yeah, All right,
53:39
cool. Let's see this now.
53:41
Let's see this match. Next match.
53:44
Hold on. I didn't.
53:45
OK, go. Oh, yeah, you did.
53:47
Go, go, go. So I think they are going to
53:50
split the titles. Yeah, you know, Definitely.
53:53
So I think it's going to be DYY because I love Tomaso Chapa and
54:04
I hate to say it, but a Town Down Under for Smackdown, for
54:12
Smackdown. Yeah, I hate to say it, but I
54:15
think that's what they're going to do because they keep pushing
54:20
those two. Whoever wins the blue belt, they
54:22
go to Smackdown, right? So what else of truth?
54:29
When? I don't know.
54:36
So who do you say Judgment Day wins?
54:41
One belt? OK, Once in a belt, which is
54:45
RAW. Wait, where is?
54:47
Yeah, everybody stays on RAW, right?
54:52
Awesome Truth Win the next belt. I'm going to go with Awesome
54:57
Truth or New Day. New Day are good on Smackdown.
55:01
Oh OK. They're always going to be good
55:02
on Smackdown. Awesome Truth and Missing Our
55:05
Truth on Smackdown because they're going to be.
55:08
They got no tag teams over there. 8 Down, Down, New Catch.
55:12
Republic New Day. Or do it with Johnny Gargano.
55:20
Tomato chomp. I I don't know.
55:22
It's like I I'm split between New Day and Awesome Truth.
55:28
So we'll see. We'll see.
55:33
OK Brother versus brother. Bret Hart versus Owen Hart.
55:41
I know Matt Hardy versus Jeff Hardy.
55:46
Who else did the Dudley boys ever fight?
55:52
Each other? And no.
55:55
OK, I think. Well, except for Spike Dudley.
55:57
They've kicked the run out of the family.
56:02
They beat his ass because their little brother.
56:05
Sure, Jay USO versus Jimmy USO prior to the summer 2023 to Usos
56:14
where a unit of their family stable The Bloodline on
56:17
Smackdown. However, due to manipulations of
56:20
his leader Roman Reigns, the users left the group which
56:23
eventually led to a bloodline Civil War tag team match at
56:27
Money in the Bank against Reign and Solizakoa in which the Users
56:30
won Jade and face Reigns for the undisputed WE Universal
56:33
Championship at Summer Slam that August, but Jimmy interfered and
56:36
cost his brother the match. On the following Smackdown,
56:39
Jimmy explained that he cost Jade a match to keep him from
56:41
getting Power and becoming corrupt like rain.
56:45
Jay subsequently attacked Jimmy and quit Da Da E, but was later
56:49
reinstated as a member of the Raw roster despite being on
56:51
different shows. Jimmy, who rejoined the
56:53
Bloodline, would often appear on Raw and attack Jay or cost and
56:55
match it. The two will also face off in
56:58
the Menswear Rubble match in January 2024 as the first two
57:02
entrants. I love that Jimmy didn't cost
57:04
Jay a match for the Intercontinental Championship of
57:06
the following month on the March 11th episode of Raw.
57:09
Fed up with his brothers actions, he challenged Jimmy to
57:13
a match at Wrestle Mania 40 with Jimmy accepted on that week's
57:16
Smack Down, I don't know, Jay main event Jay of course Jimmy
57:26
is just like he's there for the fun of it.
57:29
He's there to have fun. I think so too.
57:35
I because he's not, they haven't pushed him as a singles
57:41
wrestler. You know, he's he's better as A
57:45
tag team. So, you know, as A tag team
57:49
wrestler. So yeah, got to go with Jay USO.
57:55
Yeah. Because during the pandemic, Jay
57:56
was having like his own. Yeah, because Jimmy was hurt.
58:01
Jimmy was hurt. Jay took this serious.
58:04
So even when his magic is Roman Jay, Jimmy came out.
58:08
I was like, no, no, man, don't do it.
58:09
Don't do it. Like, he's a laugh of the
58:13
family. He's the one who threw in the
58:15
towel. Yeah, so now, like, Jay, Jay got
58:22
this. I'm not going to say Jimmy,
58:24
'cause then it's going to be upsetting when he doesn't win.
58:29
But what do you think of what happened on Friday?
58:34
Which is, Which is, well, what's going to happen on Friday?
58:38
It's Jay versus solo. Oh boy.
58:44
Yeah. So we're going to get, we're
58:47
going to get Solo involved in this somewhere.
58:49
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
58:50
Oh, you know it. So it's by order of the tribal
58:56
chief. It's Jay versus Solo because
59:02
Solo is supposed to take out Jay, so he doesn't make it to
59:05
WrestleMania to fight Jimmy. Cinematic.
59:11
Yeah, cinematic. What inning is this?
59:17
Where are we? We're in the 7th inning.
59:20
Are we in the 7th inning? Now it's almost over.
59:25
I don't know. Like, what are we going to get
59:28
when this whole thing is over with?
59:32
I don't know. We're just going to be fucking
59:34
bored. We're going to miss these
59:35
people. We're going to miss Roman.
59:37
We're going to miss Jimmy and Jay Solo and I guess The Rock.
59:44
But why? What the hell, like, just so
59:50
cinematic? And the 7th day almost over.
59:56
They said that, you know, Jay said.
59:59
That would be his dream. To fight his brother.
1:00:02
He did. And now they're making it
1:00:04
happen. I just want to know where
1:00:08
Rikishi is going to be, you know?
1:00:12
You know, he's got to come here because it's his sons.
1:00:16
Three of his sons are fighting each other, you know?
1:00:21
Yeah. Yeah.
1:00:24
So yeah, I know it's it's it's going to be awesome though.
1:00:29
You know, it's going to be awesome.
1:00:36
OK, Bianca Bellaire, Jake Cargill and Naomi versus damage
1:00:47
control. Dakota Kai, Oscar and Kyrie Zane
1:00:51
Six Woman Tag Team match concurrent to her feud with
1:00:55
Bailey Damage Control, Eel Sky, Dakota Kai and Scott and Kyrie
1:00:58
Sane were also feuding with Naomi and Bianca Bellaire on the
1:01:01
March 29th episode Smackdown following Bel Air's win over Kai
1:01:05
damage control and engaged in a beat down with Bel Air and
1:01:08
Naomi. Jade Cargill, who was making her
1:01:11
debut as an official roster member of the brand that night
1:01:13
made the save after weeks of teasing a feud with defection.
1:01:16
Later it was announced that Cargill, Naomi and Bel Air would
1:01:19
face damage control in a six woman tag team match at
1:01:22
WrestleMania 40. Jade Cargill looks like storm.
1:01:29
She does like the way they presented her, the way they did
1:01:33
that, the whole thing. And I'm like, they're going to
1:01:36
have a joke where they say she just weathered the storm.
1:01:43
I know it. She just weathered it.
1:01:45
They already said the storm is coming, the storm is coming.
1:01:49
And then she said collection, the storm.
1:01:52
The storm is here, you know? Yes, I love that.
1:01:58
As soon as they call her Storm. Meanwhile, on X-Men 97, they
1:02:05
took out Storm's powers. Did they really, really, really.
1:02:10
You're going to do that to her? Yeah, they did.
1:02:13
Like, I'm telling you this freaking night, X-Men 97, I love
1:02:16
it. I'm watching it again.
1:02:18
I'm like, Oh my God, What? This can't be.
1:02:24
That makes no sense. Oh, it makes anyway.
1:02:28
No, I mean the taking away her powers.
1:02:31
Oh, you'll see. You gotta watch it.
1:02:34
You gotta watch it. Also, you know, this is a lot of
1:02:38
TVI gotta watch. Cinematic.
1:02:41
Cinematic. OK, OK, so who we obviously,
1:02:52
obviously the obvious choice here, Bianca, Jade and Naomi.
1:02:56
For the win. For the win.
1:02:58
Because we've been waiting, waiting for this lady to come.
1:03:03
We've been waiting for Jade Car here to show up.
1:03:06
Here she is. You're not going to let her lose
1:03:08
on her first freaking WrestleMania, and you're not
1:03:11
going to let Bianca lose her her streak.
1:03:16
Nope. So and Naomi's back.
1:03:22
You're not gonna let her lose on her first week, back, first
1:03:26
month, whatever it is. Dakota Kai of course, is
1:03:31
injured. I get it.
1:03:32
I haven't seen her wrestle in a while.
1:03:36
So Chick kicks for all three of them throughout the range.
1:03:41
Oscar and Kyrie saying. I just want to see Kyrie saying
1:03:44
do the elbow on somebody that night.
1:03:49
Pointy elbow night. Let's go.
1:03:51
Oh gosh. And then beyond Jay Cargill
1:03:55
wins. Jay Cargill gets the pin.
1:03:57
Yeah, yeah, I see that too. Yeah.
1:04:03
Because you know, she's got a, you know, because this is her
1:04:05
debut. Well, not really her debut, but
1:04:08
because Royal Rumble was her debut.
1:04:10
But in this new faction, this is her debut.
1:04:16
Yeah. So yeah, yeah, I bet she's going
1:04:20
to. Like I say, they put she she
1:04:22
going to be in there like the longest out of everybody.
1:04:25
You know, they're going to have her stay in there more than
1:04:30
Bianca and Naomi because they want to probably showcase her
1:04:35
talent. Yeah, it's I think it's going to
1:04:40
be a good match. Most definitely.
1:04:45
Most definitely. Most definitely.
1:04:49
Latino World order Rey Mysterio and Dragon League versus Santos
1:04:53
Escobar and Dirty Dom at Crown Jewel.
1:04:57
In November 23, Rey Mysterio lost the United States
1:04:59
Championship to Logan Paul after his LWL stable made Santos
1:05:03
Escobar left Paul signature brass knuckles on the ring
1:05:05
apron, allowing Paul to hit Rey with them and win the title.
1:05:10
On the following episode of Smackdown, fellow LWL member
1:05:12
Carlito accused Escobar intentionally leaving the press
1:05:14
knuckles on the ring apron. Later that night, Escobar
1:05:17
attacked Ray as he was checking on Carlito, injuring his left
1:05:20
knee and dragging with the steel steps, turning heel and
1:05:23
defecting from DLW. After three month hiatus, Ray
1:05:27
returned on the March 1st episode of Smackdown to help
1:05:29
Carlito defeat Escobar in a street fight.
1:05:32
Three weeks later, Escobar defeated Raven after
1:05:34
interference from the latter son, Dirty Dom, who had turned
1:05:38
on his father at Clash of the Castle in September 2022 to join
1:05:41
the Judgment Day. One week later.
1:05:43
Escobar and his Like I was fantastic, but stablemates
1:05:45
thanked Dominic for his actions. Ray Interrupted introduced new
1:05:49
LW member Dragon Lee, with Ray and Lee challenging Escobar and
1:05:53
Dominic to tag team match at WrestleMania 40.
1:05:55
Did you see Carlito's face on that one?
1:05:58
Yes. I don't think they like the fact
1:06:01
that Dragon Lee joined the LWO or that.
1:06:05
Why couldn't you pick me? Yeah, I think I yeah, I think
1:06:10
they're all, they're all OK with, you know, him being in
1:06:14
LWO. But yeah, I think he was upset
1:06:19
that he didn't get chosen because he would, I think he
1:06:22
would have rather have wanted to be in it because he's got beef
1:06:27
with both of them now. Yeah, but he did say with the
1:06:37
newest member of the LWO, right. And everybody's all like, oh, we
1:06:43
have a new member. Yeah.
1:06:46
So when you introduce Dragon Lee camera focused in on Carlito's
1:06:51
face looking at Santos he's like OK as if or I think it was
1:07:00
Dominic I had one of them as if to say you were right.
1:07:06
So funny story. Funny thing here is that Dom is
1:07:10
hanging out with Legazzo on Smackdown.
1:07:16
He they which they all went to raw and hung out with Dom and
1:07:23
then everybody from the judgement there like what the
1:07:26
hell. So I so I posted on Twitter when
1:07:32
my work family meets my the street family it's like wait
1:07:40
what? It's like yeah work family.
1:07:43
The judgment day St. Fam the the guy was Fantasma
1:07:47
when freaking Escobar was just like all the day Holmes what's
1:07:51
up What's up? And he was like are you serious?
1:07:52
Y'all made him change his accent too.
1:07:58
Well, OK, and now here's the question.
1:08:04
Where does Asmas get in this Andrade?
1:08:08
I don't know. Is is Dominic trying to recruit
1:08:16
Andrade to go to Judgment Day, or is he trying to start his own
1:08:20
faction? No.
1:08:22
So he can take him to El the Legado?
1:08:30
No. Well, on RAW, they Andrade
1:08:35
actually was there because he's, you know, he's on RAW.
1:08:39
So he they they dominic's like, you know, the whole ricochet
1:08:44
problem, you know, he's like, I got somebody to take care of our
1:08:49
problem and Andrade walks in and they're like, what's going on?
1:08:55
He goes, yeah, if you could take care of our ricochet problem,
1:09:00
you'll be the newest member, a full-fledged member of Judgement
1:09:03
Day. Nobody agreed to that.
1:09:07
Nobody agreed to that. You know, they're like, excuse
1:09:11
me, yeah, of course. JD was like, how's he going to
1:09:14
be a new member? You know, when he just became
1:09:18
the newest member? So I think if something happens
1:09:24
with Judgement Day, I think they're going to put Dom and
1:09:27
Andrade together, you know, You know, because that's the first
1:09:37
person that, you know, he like, not clung to but, you know,
1:09:42
really got together with, you know, Andrade came and Dom was
1:09:48
like, oh, hey, you know, blah, blah, blah, you know, So which
1:09:54
is funny because remember, rewind the back a few months
1:09:58
ago, Charlotte, It's like, I have, I have a daddy back home.
1:10:02
Yep. I have a real puppy about to say
1:10:04
that too. Yeah.
1:10:06
So I'm like, that's going to be interesting when the whole thing
1:10:12
with they become tag partners. And yeah, Ria Ripley and
1:10:16
Charlotte come back. Oh, that's how Charlotte comes
1:10:19
back. You think?
1:10:21
So that's how Charlotte comes back.
1:10:23
OK. It's getting good.
1:10:28
They're cooking. Yeah.
1:10:34
OK. So who wins here?
1:10:37
Let's see. You know, I think it's going to
1:10:43
be Santos and Dominic. Dominic, I don't like this, but
1:10:47
you know, I don't think they're going to let you know Dragon Lee
1:10:55
and Rey Mysterio. Because remember last year Rey
1:10:59
Mysterio won against Dom. So I think it's Dom's turn.
1:11:05
I hate it, but you know, I think that's what's going to happen.
1:11:09
It's going to be Santos and and I want to know what they're
1:11:13
going to wear because that is crazy that what they did last
1:11:20
year and then Rey and Dragon Lee are going to have new mask.
1:11:26
It's in Philadelphia. Oh yeah.
1:11:28
So if he doesn't come out to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air with
1:11:36
some kind of king stuff and Prince stuff that.
1:11:39
Yeah. Yeah.
1:11:41
Well, I'll tell you one thing though, it's, I don't know,
1:11:48
there's just I they did you notice that Dom was like, who's
1:11:54
going to be this one? This one, The non Latino?
1:11:57
Oh yeah, it's like, oh 'cause I had to look rude to see that.
1:12:03
Yeah, he just ruined that part for DJ Zema.
1:12:06
DJ Zeon, whatever his name was DJZ.
1:12:11
No, his his parents are Filipinos.
1:12:14
Yeah, I know. I think it's he gets Joaquin.
1:12:17
Is that Joaquin? Joaquin.
1:12:19
Joaquin. Wild.
1:12:22
Wild. Yeah.
1:12:25
Yeah. His parents are Filipinos.
1:12:26
They get, yeah, I know they're OK.
1:12:28
But yeah, I mean, he looks like, you know, he looks like it.
1:12:30
So unless you looked him up, you wouldn't know that he, you know
1:12:36
that he was. I know I looked him up.
1:12:38
I was like, I remember him being with the Bros and I'm like,
1:12:43
wait, what? Yeah.
1:12:45
Like, I never thought of him as a Latino.
1:12:48
And now I'm just like, OK, Makes sense.
1:12:55
Yeah. So yeah, Santos and Dirty Dom
1:12:58
get the win. I think it's going to be because
1:13:02
Carlito, Carlito does something, I know it.
1:13:06
Carlito's going to do something. Backstabber.
1:13:09
And he's good as a heel, is he? Yeah.
1:13:13
Carlito's very good as a heel. So here come.
1:13:16
Well, here comes Santos saying, like, Dominic, you were right.
1:13:20
I should have listened to you. And then Carlito's going to be
1:13:23
like, you guys were right about Ray.
1:13:25
Ray's a fucking bad guy here. Ray's the one that's like fucks
1:13:29
up. Yeah, like trust your people.
1:13:32
Don't trust somebody else from the outside.
1:13:34
Don't get somebody else from the outside.
1:13:35
Get your own family right there, where they're at.
1:13:39
And then a whole LWO thing where it's just going to be like of
1:13:44
every new person that comes in and somebody else going to,
1:13:46
like, defect. Yeah, but yeah, Dom, I get.
1:13:54
I get what Dom wins this the main event of that night.
1:13:59
Hopefully it's not the main event.
1:14:00
Hopefully we get something else. Because like, I'd rather see
1:14:04
this first than anything else. The bloodline or The Rock.
1:14:09
And Roman Reigns versus Cody Rhodes and Seth Freaking
1:14:11
Rollins. If Rose and Rollins wins, all
1:14:13
members of the Bloodline will be barred from ringside during the
1:14:16
undisputed WE Universal Championship match on Night 2.
1:14:19
If Rock and Rains wins, the championship match on Night 2
1:14:23
will be held on their bloodline rules.
1:14:26
Oh, this is going to be a juicy after Cody Rhodes made his
1:14:29
return to WWE at WrestleMania 38 in April 2022, he declared he
1:14:32
would finish his story. Fuck his story by winning the WE
1:14:38
Championship at title his father, Dusty Rose, never held.
1:14:42
Also at WrestleMania 38. We're talking about WrestleMania
1:14:44
38 here, man. This is cinematic.
1:14:48
Although WrestleMania 38, Roman Reigns became the undisputed WWE
1:14:51
Universal Championship. I retain the WWE Universal
1:14:53
Championship and winning the WWE Championship after Rhodes won
1:14:56
the 2023 Royal Roman Match but fails to defeat Reigns for an
1:14:59
disputed title. WrestleMania 39 Rhodes again won
1:15:01
the Roman match in 2024 with the introduction of the World War
1:15:04
Championship. After WrestleMania 39, Rhodes,
1:15:07
who won the Royal Most, a member of the RAW roster, in turn
1:15:09
received a choice of which World title challenge for WrestleMania
1:15:12
40. During the Royal Rumble Post
1:15:14
event press conference, Rhodes stated that he wanted to face
1:15:16
the reigns again for the Smackdown undisputed the
1:15:19
Universal Championship, but on the January 29th episode of Raw,
1:15:22
SAS Raws argued that Rose should instead challenge him for Raw's
1:15:24
for a championship. On that week's Smackdown, Rose
1:15:28
announced that he would not challenge Reigns like
1:15:30
WrestleMania and said that one of the individuals who took
1:15:33
counsel from in making his decision, he reigns very well.
1:15:36
He brought out the Rock who came face to face with Rain prior to
1:15:41
the Royal Rumble at Raw Day one on January 1st, The Rock made a
1:15:44
surprise appearance, seemingly called out Rains by asking if he
1:15:46
should sit at the head of the table.
1:15:49
I thought he meant, you know, the TKO table but OK, the board
1:15:56
table. A reference to the relationship
1:15:58
through the Yanoi family As for over three years Rains had
1:16:01
claimed he was the head of the table and tribal Chief of the
1:16:03
Bloodline, a faction of wrestlers from the family that
1:16:05
includes Reigns and his cousin Jimmy, who's from Solo Zacoa
1:16:08
managed by Paul Heyman at The Rock.
1:16:10
And Reigns came to face to face on the February 2 episode of
1:16:13
Smackdown. A WrestleMania 40 Kickoff media
1:16:15
event was held on February 8th where the two declared that they
1:16:17
would face each other for the undisputed W Universal
1:16:20
Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 40.
1:16:23
However, Rhodes appeared and it started that this is bullshit.
1:16:28
And it started that since he won the Royal Rumble.
1:16:30
What is it, Cody? This is bullshit.
1:16:34
He earned the right to decide the main event, announced that
1:16:36
he had reversed his decision. And what challenge?
1:16:38
Range for the title at Wrestle Mania.
1:16:42
They want my title back. Yeah, Cody Crybabies.
1:16:46
Good Lord. After bringing up each other's
1:16:48
family, Rock claim that he and Rose had had issues and he
1:16:51
slapped Rose in the face. With Rollins backing roads on
1:16:55
the following smack down the Chief Content Office Sir Triple
1:16:58
H affirmed that the main event of WrestleMania 49 Two will be
1:17:01
Range defending the Undisputed W Championship against the Rose.
1:17:04
After Rose had initially declared that he would not
1:17:06
challenge rain at WrestleMania with Rock seemingly challenging
1:17:10
Rain instead, this drew intense fans backlash with We Want Cody
1:17:15
trending on social media prior to the kickoff event.
1:17:20
The Yes movement for 2024 ten years later, basically on the
1:17:25
February 12th episode of Rob Rose claimed that it was because
1:17:28
of the fans that he reversed his decision and decided to change
1:17:31
frames. Sav were interrupted and stated
1:17:34
that he understood Rose's decision offered to be his
1:17:36
backup due to Raines always having his family in his corner.
1:17:39
In response, on that week, Smackdown the Rock turned heel,
1:17:42
officially joined the bloodline and vowed that he would do
1:17:45
everything in his power to ensure roads and not finish his
1:17:47
story At Elimination Chamber Perth on February 24th.
1:17:52
Rose challenged Rock to a one-on-one match at any time and
1:17:55
Rollins again asserted that he would be in Rose Corner and
1:17:57
facing Bloodline. On the following smack down.
1:18:00
Rock rejected Rd. Challenge and instead offered
1:18:03
Counteract A tag team match featuring Rose and Rollins
1:18:07
against Rock and Range in the main event at WrestleMania 49,
1:18:10
One with another stipulation that Rose and Rollins won.
1:18:13
Then the Bloodline will be barred from ringside during the
1:18:15
undisputed W Universal Championship match on Night Two.
1:18:19
However, if Rock and Range won, then the championship match
1:18:22
would be contested under the Bloodline rule in which anything
1:18:25
goes. Rose and Rollins appeared on the
1:18:28
next week's episode where they accepted the challenge.
1:18:30
Additionally, due to Rock's position on the TK Board of
1:18:33
Directors, he claimed that the undisputed WE Universal
1:18:36
Championship match would be a Last Chance match where Rose did
1:18:39
not win. He would never be able to
1:18:40
challenge for the title again, and he also threatened that he
1:18:45
would make Rollins World Heavyweight Championship
1:18:46
disappear. These claims, however, have not
1:18:49
been officiated by WE, so they don't mean shit.
1:18:57
It's true. They don't mean anything.
1:19:00
AAA is probably just like, whatever, dude.
1:19:03
Yeah, he's just trying to throw his weight around.
1:19:06
You know, Cody and Seth Rollins, we make it a a clean fight the
1:19:19
next night or rock'n'roll, man. I say, I don't know.
1:19:29
I'm so torn. I'm so torn.
1:19:36
You know? Nope.
1:19:38
I'm going to say bloodline. Bloodline rules.
1:19:40
Yeah. Blood.
1:19:41
OK, so bloodline rules the next night.
1:19:44
Yep. And Cody Rosen says lose due to
1:19:52
the bloodline, The rock. I mean, are the bloodline barred
1:19:57
from this match? No, no, no.
1:20:00
I say goes. Yeah.
1:20:02
And they all come in and fight. Yep.
1:20:07
They make sure to do that. OK yeah, I say Cody Rhodes and
1:20:13
Seth Rollins win, OK. And then the next night.
1:20:20
They have a fair fight. A fair fight, OK.
1:20:28
I mean, you know, to be honest, I could go either way.
1:20:31
But I'm going to stick to my decision.
1:20:35
And I say it's Roman and and Rock wins on night one and it's
1:20:42
bloodline rules. Yeah.
1:20:43
And OK, so we have a fair fight. So you you think there's a
1:20:47
bloodline rules on the next night?
1:20:49
On the next night. I say it's a fair fight the next
1:20:51
match. OK.
1:20:52
OK. Do you anybody turning on
1:20:59
anybody here? You know, I don't want to go
1:21:05
with the rumors. Rumors are that, you know, Seth
1:21:10
is going to turn on. Cody turns on him.
1:21:12
And you know, Roman's like, you know, yeah, that's what rumors
1:21:15
are. And I'm like, you know what?
1:21:16
I don't. I don't want to believe the
1:21:18
rumors. I think Seth is going to have
1:21:22
his back 100%. And I think The Rock.
1:21:26
Yeah, I see it. Who was it?
1:21:29
My, my rumor is that The Rock turns on Roman.
1:21:33
You think so? I heard the rumor on on Twitter
1:21:36
is that Roman turns on the rock. And I'm like thinking the rock
1:21:39
turns on Roman. Yeah.
1:21:41
And it was the entire time, the whole thing.
1:21:44
Why he pointing up to the sky and turning into the yell and
1:21:47
that's why he turns and like him taking orders from Roman, he
1:21:54
doesn't do that. But your family, I'll do it
1:21:57
anyway, right? And like his ego just getting
1:22:01
too much where we see The Rock turn on Roman but Roman is the
1:22:05
one that turns face. OK, And then the next night we
1:22:10
have a blood around rule match but The Rock comes out to try to
1:22:16
interfere. And then the next year we do
1:22:18
have WrestleMania 41, The Rock for his Roman Reigns.
1:22:21
Roman is the good guy in there. Well because you know they keep
1:22:24
they kept saying that because I saw that too.
1:22:27
That it could be that the rock, when he was talking about, you
1:22:33
know, I'll make sure that you come up as like loser.
1:22:38
They said that he was looking at Roman, you know what I mean?
1:22:43
Yeah. So I was like, you know, he was
1:22:47
looking at Roman and then he. Right.
1:22:50
And then he kind of pointed, you know, he made it look like he
1:22:54
was. He moved his point from Roman to
1:22:59
to Cody. Yeah.
1:23:01
So I'm like, I don't know, I don't know, cinematic evil.
1:23:07
Don't make me do this cinematic. And they're all, like, telling
1:23:13
us different things, like just the same thing as when Ray Wyatt
1:23:18
was doing his his QR codes and everything.
1:23:21
It's like, oh, shit, what does it mean?
1:23:23
What does it mean? We're back here with the whole
1:23:25
What is Rock trying to say here? Well, nothing new.
1:23:32
Messing with you Monday night where they do the whole thing,
1:23:37
where he beats up Cody Rhodes and makes him bleed with the
1:23:41
mom, with your mama's belt and everything.
1:23:43
He's going to hand him. He's going to hand his mom that
1:23:45
belt. Yeah.
1:23:50
All right. That was night one.
1:23:51
I can't believe we're barely done with night one.
1:23:57
I'm calling her now. It's going to be a 2 hour show.
1:24:00
Yeah, well, we're at 140 right now, so 140.
1:24:04
Yeah. Hey, it's Evo.
1:24:13
We're going to get back to the episode you're listening to.
1:24:16
But first let me tell you about dark recreations.
1:24:20
Dark freak creations are candles that are vibrant, colorful
1:24:23
marble tops, amazing mouth watering fragrances fueled by
1:24:28
lovely braided cotton wigs, paper threads woven into every
1:24:32
cotton wig for a clean, romantic, slow and consistent
1:24:36
burn. Each candle is unique from the
1:24:39
next as they are hand mixed and hand poured right in Grass
1:24:43
Valley, CA. They use only coconut and soy
1:24:46
waxes for a safer cleaner and longer burn time.
1:24:51
That's almost 72 hours. That's like binging on all 130
1:24:54
episodes of the podcast. All fragrance blends have been
1:24:58
heavily researched. Dart free creations not only
1:25:00
care about the look, fragrance and quality of their candles and
1:25:03
their other products, but also the effects they have in their
1:25:06
customers homes. So go to dartfreecreations.com
1:25:11
the link will be in the show Notes Night 2 Seth Rollins
1:25:18
versus Drew McIntyre for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
1:25:24
Ross Drew McIntyre won the the Men's What the Elimination
1:25:32
Chamber Elimination Chamber to face Africa Rollins for the
1:25:35
World Heavyweight Championship with For Tonight 2.
1:25:39
On the March 25th episode of Rai was announced that CM Punk had
1:25:41
issued with both Collins and McIntyre had guys legitimately
1:25:44
injured at the Royal Rumble with services special guest
1:25:46
commentator for the World Heavyweight Championship match.
1:25:54
And you know, I just saw because then RAW they they showed, you
1:25:58
know a little promo of of Drew and it actually shows kind of
1:26:04
like when it happened and I didn't see that before.
1:26:09
Oh yeah, you know all I see, I thought maybe it was when he
1:26:13
went like over the rope for sure, you know when he got
1:26:18
thrown over the rope. But it was showing that Drew did
1:26:25
the future shot DDT and when he went down he landed kind of
1:26:31
weird on his on his elbow. So I think that's when his when
1:26:37
he landed is when it happened. But I didn't notice, you know,
1:26:42
before that CM Punk was, you know, like touching his, you
1:26:47
know, his his arm at all until after the, you know, the Royal
1:26:52
Rumble was over, right? You know what I mean?
1:26:55
So I was like, oh, I was like, I don't know, but, you know, we'll
1:26:59
see what happens. But Drew was talking mad crap,
1:27:04
you know what I mean? I like it though.
1:27:09
I like it. I say Seth wins.
1:27:18
Yeah, CM Punk is involved. And then who comes out?
1:27:33
It's WrestleMania already. Come on, Damien.
1:27:37
Yes, yes, yes. I I think, yeah, I think
1:27:41
whoever. Yeah, I think he is.
1:27:42
Because he had said that he couldn't cash in until Seth was
1:27:49
medically cleared. Yeah.
1:27:51
So that's why he hadn't cashed in before, you know, because I I
1:27:55
would think he would try to, like, cash in on Gunther because
1:27:59
Seth wasn't cleared. But then I was like, no, he
1:28:03
wants the big prize. So yeah, I think whoever wins on
1:28:09
Sunday, I think Damien is going to cash in.
1:28:15
It would be the perfect opportunity.
1:28:17
He would, he would do that or do what Dolph Ziggler did and do it
1:28:24
on the next night roster, WrestleMania.
1:28:28
Well, yeah. OK.
1:28:30
But it has to happen on Sunday night or Monday night.
1:28:36
Unless you think he'd do it in France.
1:28:39
No, do it now. Oh, my goodness.
1:28:46
He's sleeping on it. I guess I can't.
1:28:49
Yeah. Yeah.
1:28:50
No, I think, I think if he's going to cash in, it's going to
1:28:54
be at WrestleMania. I don't think he would wait till
1:28:57
Monday. Oh, OK.
1:28:59
I think. I think he's Damien is going to
1:29:02
cash in on Sunday, one of those nights.
1:29:09
Oh wow. Actually we could do it Saturday
1:29:11
too. Saturday also when everybody's
1:29:14
all, yeah, on the floor either Roman or Seth and then you hit
1:29:22
the Judgement Day and he comes out and cashes in and like tries
1:29:27
to go for Roman but can't do it so he goes for Seth and then
1:29:36
what a triple threat match or Oh no, if he if I I'd say he loses
1:29:43
it. You know he tries to cash in on
1:29:47
one of them as there's as they're in the ring and they
1:29:54
beat him. So they do they beat him just
1:29:58
like they did with Austin Terry. Yeah, exactly.
1:30:04
All right, next match, EO Sky versus Bailey for the W Women's
1:30:11
Championship at Summer Slam in July 2022.
1:30:14
Bailey made her return from injury alongside Dakota Kai and
1:30:17
EO Sky with the three O dubbing themselves damage control.
1:30:20
Kyrie is saying he returned WE November 2023 who had previous
1:30:23
issues with Bailey before her departure for Gabe Bailey and
1:30:26
joined with Damage Control followed by Oscar joining the
1:30:28
group, subsequently reuniting the Kabuki Warriors.
1:30:31
In the process, the group would attain a success on Smackdown,
1:30:34
including the bowl, the Women's taxing championship reigns as
1:30:37
well as Sky winning the Women's Championship.
1:30:40
Bailey then won the 2024 Women's Royal Rumble match, thus earning
1:30:43
a Women's Championship match of her choice at wrestling at 40.
1:30:46
Bailey had previously said that she would be going after Raw
1:30:48
Women's Champion, so the damage control would hold all the
1:30:51
women's titles of Raw Smackdown. However, on the February 20
1:30:55
February 2nd episode of Smackdown after Bailey over her
1:30:58
Sky Oscar Sane talking behind her back, Bailey revealed
1:31:02
Japanese and how they made fun of her.
1:31:05
Bailey was then kicked out of damage control after Oscar and
1:31:08
say attacked her turning face for the first time since 2019.
1:31:11
After fighting off the wrestle damage control, Bailey decided
1:31:14
that she would challenge Sky for the WWE Women's Championship.
1:31:16
At WrestleMania 40, Sky Kai was Dakota.
1:31:20
Kai was absent from when Skye asked and stayed turned on
1:31:23
Bailey. And although she seemingly sided
1:31:24
with Bailey on the next week, Kai also turned on her on the
1:31:27
March 1st episode. Bailey wins.
1:31:34
We got Bailey. We get Bailey.
1:31:36
Bailey with the belt and everybody's saying like Izzy's
1:31:40
coming back. No, come on, nobody wants Izzy.
1:31:44
Nobody wants that good girl Izzy.
1:31:48
Who's Izzy? Izzy was this Bailey fan from
1:31:53
NXT. She was this little girl that
1:31:55
would always sit in the front row and have her gear be her.
1:32:01
Like little version of Bailey. Like every time, like S Miles
1:32:05
and everything. Sasha Banks came out one time.
1:32:09
Well against Bailey. She grabbed one of Izzy's signs,
1:32:15
ripped it right in front of her, and made Izzy cry.
1:32:18
Just like freaking 6-7 years ago when OK, Bailey.
1:32:22
I think I heard about that, but I just didn't know the little
1:32:25
girl's name. Yeah, she was like as this
1:32:27
little kid back then. Now she's like a wrestler.
1:32:31
He's been training and stuff. So she's like 19 or 2018.
1:32:37
Oh, wow. So she's ready for the big time,
1:32:42
I guess. So everybody's saying, thinking
1:32:44
that Izzy might come back to help Bailey.
1:32:47
Here we are, like, months later, and with Bianca Bel Air, Naomi
1:32:55
and Jay Cargill helping Bailey out somehow.
1:33:00
So yeah, I'm choosing Bailey for this match.
1:33:06
Yeah, obviously. Like, she wins.
1:33:13
There's no way like, yeah, I love that the Kodakai tries to
1:33:18
come in to interfere, but she can't.
1:33:20
She doesn't get the job done. And then they kick the Kodakai
1:33:23
out of the group. Yeah, because you know what?
1:33:29
I I don't know. I don't.
1:33:32
I don't see Dakota Kai staying in that group, whether she's
1:33:36
kicked out or she leaves, because she's not that great of
1:33:42
a wrestler. I think she's not that great of
1:33:46
a wrestler. So she needs somebody.
1:33:50
No, because it's pretty much the Haluva kick.
1:33:55
It is, you know, the girl version, I guess you could say
1:33:59
the girl version of Hollywood kick.
1:34:01
Yeah, yeah. But yeah, I don't know.
1:34:05
I don't see her staying 'cause I think you're right.
1:34:11
I think they're going to turn on her, kick her out, 'cause she's
1:34:15
going to mess around and cause them to lose.
1:34:22
And she's gonna do that one too many times.
1:34:23
And they're gonna be like, you know what?
1:34:24
You're out of here. Yeah.
1:34:26
The Kabuki Warriors and Dakota. Yep.
1:34:30
All right, next match, Ellie Knight versus AJ Styles, I
1:34:38
guess. OK, that's a good.
1:34:44
I think. You know what?
1:34:45
I think that's gonna be a good one too.
1:34:47
Is it? OK, On December 15th, 2023
1:34:50
episode of Smack Down, AJ Styles made a return from injury and
1:34:53
helped LA Knight and fending off the bloodline, but then turned
1:34:56
on Knight and attacked him with a steel chair.
1:34:59
Styles later explained that he attacked Knight for taking his
1:35:01
spot on attacking match at Fast Lane, October 2023, saying he
1:35:04
stepped over his dead body to get ahead.
1:35:07
Really don't remember that? But then it participated in a
1:35:11
fatal 4 way match for the undisputed W Universal
1:35:14
Championship at a Rumble in January 2024, But we're
1:35:17
unsuccessful. Knight then qualified for the
1:35:20
men's Elimination Chamber match at Elimination Chamber Perth
1:35:23
following month, but Styles did not.
1:35:25
During the match itself, Styles snuck into the chamber and
1:35:27
attacked Knight with a steel chair, causing Knight to be
1:35:30
eliminated. After more weeks of feeding
1:35:32
Knight Challenge Styles to a match of WrestleMania 40 and
1:35:34
Styles accepted. Yeah, I feel like it's the only
1:35:38
one where it's like, this is a new storyline brooding, this is
1:35:42
fresh, this is a fresh storyline.
1:35:44
It's like everything else, like, oh shit, you know, I can't wait
1:35:47
for this and I can't wait for this to end.
1:35:49
This one's more like, oh, this is fresh, let's see where it
1:35:52
goes, let's see where it's going to happen after.
1:35:59
And it's been brewing since October last year.
1:36:02
So like, I probably going to end by summer Slam or something.
1:36:07
But because remember, you know, AJ Styles got injured by the
1:36:11
bloodline and then LA Knight immediately, like, stepped up.
1:36:17
That's what he's talking about. Yeah.
1:36:18
No, you stepped over my dead body.
1:36:23
But the whole thing, you know, I'm not one for going to
1:36:26
people's houses. I just think that's just a
1:36:29
little too much. Oh, my goodness.
1:36:33
Going into people's houses. Yeah, the the favorite segments
1:36:39
of all time. Yes.
1:36:42
It's the first time I've ever seen Wendy, by the way.
1:36:45
Yes, yes, Yeah. And like, every time some mojo
1:36:49
has mentioned her, and then we finally see her, and I'm just
1:36:51
like, was that Wendy? Wait, that's Wendy?
1:36:54
Yeah. Like, OK, I was expecting
1:36:57
something else, but. All right.
1:36:58
Hi, Wendy. Nope.
1:36:59
She's a plain Jane. It's a plain Jane.
1:37:06
And then the whole thing with the the body Cam from the cops.
1:37:10
That was great. Yeah, like, that's awesome.
1:37:17
I mean, like I said, I'm not for going to people's houses, you
1:37:21
know, when you actually show up, you know, I'm like, I can't,
1:37:26
Like, I can't. That's just a little too
1:37:28
personal. You know, You could talk about
1:37:31
it in a storyline, but actually showing up at their houses,
1:37:35
that's that's that's a little too stalkerish for me.
1:37:40
You've never seen Triple H show up at Randy's Orton's house.
1:37:48
Well, when I was watching, I when I wasn't watching that
1:37:51
happen. But like, so let's see.
1:37:54
Seth. Seth Rollins went to Edges
1:37:57
House, got into the house, you know, Did he?
1:38:03
Yeah, he did. And yeah, what's his face?
1:38:08
Who was it that went to Johnny Gargano's house?
1:38:12
Oh, Oh, my gosh. He was that freaking.
1:38:15
Oh, it was Choppa. I think it was.
1:38:18
Choppa went to Johnny Gargarno's house.
1:38:20
Or maybe he got the way around. Miss.
1:38:25
Oh, was it Miss? Was it Miss or was it?
1:38:27
No, it was. What's his face from Donna?
1:38:30
No, it was the other. Was it Grayson Waller?
1:38:34
Grayson Waller? Yeah, it was Grayson.
1:38:36
Waller attacked him. And what's her name?
1:38:43
Was holding on to Star Lord. What's his name?
1:38:48
Well, was he was holding on. She was holding on that.
1:38:51
OK, OK. And he's all crying in the
1:38:54
background. I'm like, oh, my God, are you
1:38:56
guys serious about this? Yeah.
1:38:58
It's all like I I was like, I'm sorry.
1:39:00
I know they're wrestlers. It's I'm like, but I just.
1:39:03
I just think that's just too much.
1:39:05
That's pushing it too far. But you know, that's just me.
1:39:10
In a few weeks, I'm going to put in an episode of people going
1:39:14
into other houses. Top, top moments.
1:39:21
Favorite moments when wrestlers showed up at other people's
1:39:23
houses. Oh, goodness.
1:39:26
All right, next one. Next one.
1:39:31
Did we say who was winning this one?
1:39:33
LA Knight. Yeah.
1:39:36
LA Knight or AJAJ? I think AJI.
1:39:42
Think AJ. Yeah.
1:39:45
No, I think AJ Oh, I'm gonna say AJ Yeah, He's lost so many
1:39:49
matches already. Yeah.
1:39:54
OK. I can see you.
1:39:56
For the sake of the story, to keep going.
1:39:59
Yeah. Needs to like redemption and
1:40:01
stuff. AJ.
1:40:04
Let's go with AJ. I'm going, AJ.
1:40:08
Like, I don't like the fact that Ellie's been losing a lot of
1:40:10
matches and it's against AJAJ would like either way.
1:40:15
But if we're going by whoever's winning the main event, AJ is
1:40:21
the next one to step up. Yeah, or LA.
1:40:26
These two would make a great main event.
1:40:30
Yeah, absolutely. I agree.
1:40:33
I agree. Next match you're going to hate.
1:40:37
I know that Logan Paul versus Randy Orton versus Kevin Owens,
1:40:43
the ripple match for the United States Championship at the Royal
1:40:48
Rumble. Logan Paul defeated Kevin Owens
1:40:50
by DQ to retain the Smackdown of the United States Championship.
1:40:53
Paul had attempted to use his signature brass knuckles but
1:40:55
Owens instead. He used them and was caught,
1:40:57
thus was disqualified the Royal Rumble.
1:40:59
Logan Paul defeated Kevin Owens by DQ to retain Smackdown, the
1:41:02
United States Championship. Paul had attempted to use a
1:41:05
signature brass knuckles, but Owens instead used him and was
1:41:07
caught. It does was disqualified.
1:41:10
The following month at Elimination Chamber Perk, Paul
1:41:13
Owens and Randy Orton were participants in the Men's
1:41:16
Elevation Chamber match. Orton eliminated both Owens and
1:41:19
Paul, who in turn caused order to be eliminated by punching him
1:41:22
with the brass knuckles. On the March 8th episode of
1:41:26
McDonald, Paul and his business partner KSI announced that their
1:41:29
energy drink company Prime would be an official W sponsor with
1:41:32
the Prime logo plate in the center of the ring for
1:41:34
pay-per-view and live streaming event, in turn becoming WS
1:41:39
First. Entering match sponsor Orton
1:41:42
interrupted and attended an arcade on Paul Put Paul Escape
1:41:44
with KSI instead receiving the RKO.
1:41:47
The following Smackdown Junior Manager Nick Alders announced
1:41:50
that Paul, who defended the United States Championship
1:41:51
against Owens and Thord in a Triple Threat match at
1:41:53
WrestleMania 40. So who do you have?
1:42:03
Randy Orton. Really.
1:42:06
Yeah. OK, who do you have?
1:42:12
Oh boy. They did not just get into a
1:42:15
sponsorship with freaking Prime, Just Yes they did.
1:42:22
I know, but I am putting it out in the universe.
1:42:28
Randy Orton is going to get the win, but they are going to like
1:42:34
Logan Paul up for sure. That's true.
1:42:45
There's a it's a triple threat for it's a triple threat match
1:42:48
for a reason, right? Because one of them is going to
1:42:52
take the pin, and it's not Logan Paul, and it's not going to be
1:42:55
Logan Paul taking the pin on Randy Orton.
1:43:00
It's going to be Logan Paul either pinning Kevin Owens or
1:43:03
Randy Orton pinning Kevin Owens. I don't see Kevin Owens.
1:43:12
The only thing I don't see Kevin Owens winning this match at all.
1:43:17
It's like the same thing with Sami Zayn.
1:43:19
Like you guys had your freaking moment last year.
1:43:22
We're going to give this moment to someone else who did Logan
1:43:28
Paul face last year? I forgot the I'm already talking
1:43:31
about stuff. Logan Paul.
1:43:33
What's new? What's new?
1:43:35
Ricochet? Was it Seth Rollins?
1:43:42
You see, it was Seth Paul Rollins.
1:43:43
It was Seth Rollins. Was it Seth?
1:43:45
OK, yeah, he lost. I say Logan.
1:43:50
Paul gets his WrestleMania moment here.
1:43:52
He wins. He pins Kevin Owens.
1:43:56
We move on to other map premium live events with the prime
1:44:05
sponsorship. Either that or you, key KO,
1:44:10
would you rather see in the middle of the ring?
1:44:14
Like prime? And I tasted prime.
1:44:19
It's not that bad. Yeah, like I thought it was
1:44:24
gonna be horrible. But no, it's not.
1:44:30
But I'm going back to C4. I can't.
1:44:32
I can't C4 because tribal chief drinks it.
1:44:38
Yeah, but it's like, if we're we were doing that, why didn't they
1:44:41
put the C4 in the middle of the ring?
1:44:44
Oh, wait, never mind. What?
1:44:48
C4? Oh, yeah.
1:44:50
No, don't do that. Yeah, I get it.
1:44:54
Yes, yes, I got it. Shit.
1:44:57
OK. Logan Paul.
1:44:58
Yeah, I get it. OK.
1:45:02
He's getting his fans to watch the show and he's doing it.
1:45:07
Logan Paul wins, but after getting beat up, of course he
1:45:11
takes some Rkos, but he pins Kevin Owens.
1:45:15
He But he defends it. He needs to defend that belt.
1:45:20
Yeah, you said Randy Orton. I say Logan Paul.
1:45:28
Yeah, this match was added this past weekend.
1:45:32
The Pride. They named it the Pride.
1:45:35
Bobby Lashley. Angela Dawkins and Montez Ford
1:45:38
with B Fab versus The Final Testament carrying Cross, Hakeem
1:45:43
and Razar with Scarlett and Paul Ellering in a six man
1:45:46
Philadelphia street fight. Let's just call it what it is.
1:45:50
This is an easy W street fight at Smackdown New Year's
1:45:55
Revolution on generated fish carrying across accompanied by
1:45:57
Scarlet Attack the Pride. Lashley Dawkins on board with
1:46:01
help from returning authors of Pain.
1:46:03
Akima Razar accompanied by Paul Ellering with Cross and Scarlet
1:46:06
authors of Pain and Ellering forming a faction called The
1:46:08
Final Testament. The two groups would continue.
1:46:12
Oh I get the T now. OK.
1:46:14
The two groups would continue feeding with over the next
1:46:16
couple of months and on the March 29th episode of Smackdown
1:46:20
the final testament cost a street profits dock is it for
1:46:23
the tournament final match to qualify for the undisputed W tag
1:46:25
team championship match at WrestleMania 40 on April 1st.
1:46:28
A six man tag team Philadelphia street fight pitting the final
1:46:31
Testament. I guess the pride was confirmed
1:46:34
for night two. I just figured they needed
1:46:37
somebody to like beat up on Lashley because he was doing all
1:46:42
the beating up. He was.
1:46:45
Yeah. And we got Akeem and Razar.
1:46:49
This is those two against Lashley.
1:46:51
Like he even he had like trouble.
1:46:54
Like, dude, get off me. You're watching me real bad.
1:46:58
Get away. Angela Dawkins and Monsters 4I,
1:47:03
I love that. It's called the Pride instead of
1:47:06
calling it like the hurt business two point O or
1:47:08
something. Yeah, well I haven't even heard
1:47:12
them call themselves the Pride. So I don't know where they got
1:47:15
this from. They got it from I don't know
1:47:18
they said some online stuff that OK, WE is going to call the IT
1:47:25
has a was a copyright thing on the pride and immediately people
1:47:29
saw Babbie last week under the doc in the montage board.
1:47:33
OK, like, it would make sense, because.
1:47:35
Right? Pride Lion, all that stuff.
1:47:40
They're African kings. So it's the pride.
1:47:43
Yes. Kings with B Fab.
1:47:47
Final touch. She needs to do something with
1:47:49
her hair. I'm sorry, I'm not feeling the
1:47:52
white braids or the red braids do something else.
1:47:56
She's lame. I mean, they got her from the
1:48:01
other group. I know.
1:48:04
Which, you know, it's it's fine because now all these factions
1:48:08
have a woman, which is fine because then if they could do
1:48:11
like a mixed tag team, you know, I'm cool with that.
1:48:16
But I just don't like the what they're doing with their hair.
1:48:20
You know what I mean? Why does it have to be white or
1:48:24
why does it have to be red anyway?
1:48:28
No, the the braids are getting in the way.
1:48:31
Yeah, like, obviously you can't have a long braid because Bianca
1:48:37
has it, right? But like 1 Braid, even 1 braid
1:48:43
is like, it's going to like attack you and yeah, bleed
1:48:47
beefab Braid. It's not, she's not wrestling,
1:48:49
so it's good. I get it.
1:48:51
It's like it's not getting in the way of her doing anything.
1:48:53
Well, even when she's more of a wrestler.
1:48:56
Yeah, she's more of a wrestler than Scarlet Scarlet.
1:48:59
I haven't seen her wrestle at all, so I get the whole thing
1:49:02
with be her being put on there and not having to wrestle.
1:49:05
I'd rather her Russell than Maxine Dupree.
1:49:11
BFAB can actually wrestle Maxine.
1:49:13
Like working on it though, Like, OK, what are you guys doing to
1:49:18
these girls? Make Bfab, Russell, Maxine and
1:49:22
see what happens there. Yeah, you're going to hear a lot
1:49:28
of ECW, of course, on this match.
1:49:31
This is a match where everybody's going to be like EC
1:49:33
dub, EC dub. Oh yeah, cables.
1:49:38
If I don't hear a freaking 3D in here, AOP, Oh my God.
1:49:44
AOP is going to do some damage. Yeah, those are some big boys.
1:49:51
Oh my God, they are HM and Razar.
1:49:56
I'm like them two alone then I don't think they need carrying
1:50:01
cross. But them two alone don't just
1:50:03
take out all three of them. Like even though that XD I was
1:50:08
like, why are you guys even there?
1:50:10
Like just get the belts already buying in it and then why are
1:50:14
you guys even there? Go to the main roster and on the
1:50:16
main roster it's like, what are you guys going to do with them?
1:50:19
Put them against Jinder Mahal guide, Yeah, that would be a
1:50:26
good match up. But that's the thing.
1:50:28
They've got all these new tag teams, you know, so they've got
1:50:30
AOP, you know, in this year they're not really using them
1:50:37
and when they debuted they had them against, you know, some,
1:50:42
you know, local wrestlers. Yeah, so you're like, really?
1:50:46
Why are you doing that? Why don't you put them up
1:50:49
against the tag teams that are there instead of bringing up,
1:50:56
you know, jobbers so that they can easily win, And I mean
1:51:00
easily, like it took two minutes for them to win.
1:51:04
Put them up against the Creed, rather put them up again.
1:51:06
Yes, put them against, you know, put the newer tag teams
1:51:10
together, you know, against each other so we could see their
1:51:13
skills. Judgement day.
1:51:17
Who else? Regeneration.
1:51:20
X. Yeah, awesome truth.
1:51:25
LWO legato. Even a town down.
1:51:30
A town down. Yeah, you know put that, you
1:51:33
know that's what they need to do instead of bringing up, you
1:51:36
know, I mean yes, it gets the those jobbers exposed, but come
1:51:40
on, they're going to lose in 2 minutes.
1:51:44
You know, you've got and they were like smaller than AOP.
1:51:50
Why are you doing that? Imagine Corbin and Breaker,
1:51:53
Braun Breaker, Baron, Braun Breaker on the main roster.
1:51:57
As soon as this is over with, because of main roster, with
1:52:00
those two on the main roster, well, that's the thing.
1:52:03
Braun Breaker is already on the main roster.
1:52:06
Yeah, and why haven't he bring Corbin back up, You know what I
1:52:09
mean? Isn't he on the WrestleMania
1:52:10
card? Like, I can't wait for him to,
1:52:13
like, do Spears. I mean, obviously not going to
1:52:20
say anything bad about him because he's freaking amazing
1:52:23
and everything. But yeah, yeah, but yeah, like,
1:52:28
I get it. Who are you winning?
1:52:34
Who's winning here? I said the Pride, the fans.
1:52:39
Yeah, exactly. Who's getting pinned carrying
1:52:46
cross, 'cause I don't see anybody beating Akeem.
1:52:49
And raise a heart like these two are big boys and meat on meat.
1:52:56
Bobby Lashley. All right.
1:52:58
The pride. Yeah.
1:53:02
Showing how Bobby Lashley is strong.
1:53:04
He's a big boy. He could.
1:53:06
He's gonna bleed. I know it.
1:53:08
I see like his chest is getting bad.
1:53:13
Finally, main event Roman Reigns versus Cody Rhodes Roman Reigns
1:53:21
on this night Second night will be 1316 days as WE Universal
1:53:29
champion. He's coming in here as 1316.
1:53:39
Oh my God. Match for the NSPW Universal
1:53:44
Championship to be determined. Stipulation to be determined by
1:53:47
the result of Night One's main event.
1:53:48
Who'd you say was going to win Night One?
1:53:50
I said the bloodline was going to win Bloodline.
1:53:53
Bloodline rules. Yes.
1:53:55
OK, so here, who do you think is going to win Roman Reigns?
1:53:58
Woody Rhodes bloodline rules. So to go back to your prediction
1:54:05
on Seth or set. No rock.
1:54:08
Rock the rock turning on Roman. I think if he did, it would be
1:54:13
on night two. Night two?
1:54:16
Yeah, because if it's bloodline rules, excuse me, then anything
1:54:21
goes so he could turn on Roman, help Cody win, and then just
1:54:31
like, walk out. Walk out.
1:54:35
Yeah, they just walk out. That's my prediction.
1:54:43
And then Damien Priest cashes in, Cashes in on Cody.
1:54:50
Yeah, he got his. His.
1:54:52
He finished his story, but he couldn't give the belt to his
1:54:55
mom. And then here comes Damien
1:54:57
Priest ruining the whole story. No, not tonight.
1:55:03
Backed himself into a corner again.
1:55:04
He did this in, AW, if I don't win the championship, then I'll
1:55:08
never go for it again. Of the Rock said.
1:55:11
If you don't win the championship, you are never
1:55:12
going to go for it again, right? And he Triple H will probably be
1:55:16
like, fuck you, you don't make the rules.
1:55:19
So here the COCCO. OK, not you.
1:55:23
Yeah, like you don't make the rules.
1:55:27
So you're saying Cody wins? All right, so I said Cody and
1:55:34
Seth wins and it becomes a clean fight.
1:55:38
Mm hmm. Bloodline is barred from
1:55:41
ringside Roman rings versus Cody Rhodes, calling it Cody Rhodes.
1:55:47
Roman Reigns winning because the bloodlines barred from ringside.
1:55:52
But then you have all these other family members coming in
1:55:57
that are like from Japan and all these other people that you
1:56:03
didn't think were there. Jake and Fatu, you have the guys
1:56:08
from the Gorilla of Destiny. We have Rikishi.
1:56:15
You know, all these people are coming in and they do the whole
1:56:20
thing against Cody. You did this for The Rock?
1:56:23
Oh my God. No.
1:56:28
No. Oh shit.
1:56:34
Rikishi comes back. Rikishi comes back, beats Cody
1:56:40
Rhodes. Oh my gosh.
1:56:42
And then it's like, why'd you do it?
1:56:44
Or because she had dated for The Rock.
1:56:47
OK, Roman Reigns wins. And then, I mean, I want Roman
1:56:53
to win, but I just think that, you know, he's not going to do
1:56:57
it by himself. There's going to be a little
1:57:00
technicality here. Rock will probably come out and
1:57:04
do some shit. And where he does this and then
1:57:07
Roman Reigns wins, he raising the belt in the air.
1:57:11
One of two things could happen. That's where Rock decides to,
1:57:16
you know, lay the smack down, do the do the saying.
1:57:21
We have a whole year to prepare for this.
1:57:23
Cody Rose is, is obviously going to get another shot of the belt.
1:57:26
Probably Summer Slam. We're going to get all the way
1:57:29
down to Summer Slam because Roman needs to have that belt
1:57:32
and be what is he top three now? Yeah, he's top three.
1:57:37
OK, so we're good. We're good if he even if he
1:57:39
went, he loses about. Like where he's top three, we're
1:57:41
good. Like as long as he's not Hulk
1:57:44
Hogan's not around anymore. It's like, yeah, so he's fine.
1:57:46
Either one or two things happen. Rock turns on Roman and began
1:57:56
the night with Roman with Rock holding the belt the whole year.
1:58:00
We teased the whole year or option 2, which is from the Bray
1:58:06
Wyatt documentary and I made it. Can't believe you didn't see it.
1:58:13
Taylor Rotonda Bo Bo Dallas comes in with his new costume
1:58:20
that Bray Wyatt told his best friends.
1:58:25
Like, hey, can you do this for me?
1:58:26
Right by. Right before he died, he made a
1:58:28
new costume at the end of the documentary.
1:58:33
The little Lantern comes on. It lights up again.
1:58:37
And of course it's April. First though I'm thinking it's
1:58:39
like a that's not true. The Lantern comes on and you see
1:58:44
Uncle Howdy come out, like, right there, like, and then
1:58:48
Howdy comes in. So Roman Wayne range wins, he
1:58:54
gets the belt, he has the belt in the air, blah blah blah.
1:58:57
And then you see the everything turns to black, the fireflies
1:59:02
all slide up. And then you see in the middle
1:59:06
of the fucking Tron right there, the Lantern.
1:59:10
And then you see Uncle Howdy, who's coming back to avenge Bray
1:59:16
Wyatt. OK, people, that everybody heard
1:59:21
him. Roman beat Bray Wyatt for the
1:59:25
championship belt in like 2020. Yes, that's how he got it.
1:59:31
And here we are now, 9th inning, we're doing it the 9th inning
1:59:36
right here. OK.
1:59:37
The whole, the whole story ends right here.
1:59:39
Either Cody Rhodes wins or, you know, we get that whole thing at
1:59:43
the very end and that's well, I'm going to love that.
1:59:47
If that happens, I'm just going to be like, yes, it finally
1:59:50
happened. My God, that's two nights of
1:59:54
freaking shit. It starts at 11.
1:59:59
All right, So what do we think of this?
2:00:03
The are you going to be, Are you excited for this show?
2:00:05
Are you excited? I am.
2:00:07
I'm super excited. I think this one, I think I'm
2:00:12
most excited for because it they've just built it up.
2:00:16
And this is how WrestleMania is supposed to be, yes?
2:00:20
You know, it's supposed to be a big build up, you know, and
2:00:24
they've and I I really think with TKO, you know that that
2:00:32
press conference really cemented that this is what it's supposed
2:00:37
to be like, you know, they had so much going on, you know, and
2:00:42
they've advertised the crap out of it.
2:00:46
I just think it's that I'm like, I can't wait.
2:00:50
It hasn't come soon enough, you know what I mean?
2:00:56
Like these past two weeks have been crazy.
2:00:59
I'm like, when is WrestleMania? It's that next week, it's this
2:01:02
week. You know, it's like, oh, I know.
2:01:05
And I'm like, I just, it's just been it's took too long.
2:01:09
But you know, it's OK. I'm ready for it.
2:01:13
Are you looking for a new podcast?
2:01:15
Or maybe you just love celebrity interviews and can't get enough
2:01:18
of them. On the Tis Yourself podcast, the
2:01:20
Todd AKA Rob Machio from Scrubs told me about his first time
2:01:25
speaking to a group of surgeons. And I was just like, Listen,
2:01:28
guys, when in doubt, the Todd's prescription for everything is
2:01:31
less moaning, more boning. Or you want to find out more
2:01:34
about how Joe Exotic had such a vendetta against Carol Bascom
2:01:37
when she had this to say about him?
2:01:39
Because I've never even spoken to Joe.
2:01:41
Find out all of this and more on the Tis Yourself Podcast
2:01:44
wherever you get your fight. What is what happened last year
2:02:05
we went, we were watching this live.
2:02:08
We made new friends, obviously on Tumblr live, one of them
2:02:16
being. I'm going to call her Minnie.
2:02:21
Hey, and she now wants to be called as Dalia.
2:02:24
All right, Dalia, right. And call her Becca.
2:02:30
Since then, we've been going back and forth.
2:02:34
She doesn't like the bloodline. She doesn't like.
2:02:36
She doesn't like to acknowledge him, basically.
2:02:39
And I. Right.
2:02:39
I know. Yes, I y'all heard her episode
2:02:44
of In the beginning of the month of the year.
2:02:49
Minnie. Mommy dancer.
2:02:51
Yeah, that's probably her name. She changed her name since then.
2:02:54
She goes by something else. But like she also said, we could
2:02:57
call her by her first name. I'm calling her Becca.
2:03:01
I'm calling. She wants to be known as Dalia
2:03:03
now. We love her around here.
2:03:05
We fucking. She's one of my best friends,
2:03:10
but she has to acknowledge the fact.
2:03:13
Roman raises the tribal chief as she never has.
2:03:17
Fortunately, she was supposed to be on the show.
2:03:19
Unfortunately she couldn't make it, but we wish her the best.
2:03:24
And I would have loved to, and I don't know, this could have been
2:03:27
a three hour show with her on it, but I would have loved to
2:03:31
have heard her, her, her about her predictions, her predictions
2:03:38
about Roman Reigns and what she thought of the entire show.
2:03:42
And you know, we would have been going back and forth on it,
2:03:46
'cause I know she wouldn't have picked Roman Reigns at all.
2:03:49
Of course not. So yeah, it's just it's going to
2:03:54
be an awesome night. So since then we've been going
2:03:57
back and forth, we've been fighting about Roman Reigns, and
2:04:00
that's what friends say. We fight all the time about
2:04:02
wrestling about other stuff, but her saying that she doesn't want
2:04:06
Roman Reigns to ever win. So here we are, Year 2, let's
2:04:14
see what this happens. And I know last year, like as
2:04:18
soon as he won, we messaged each other and she hated it, even
2:04:25
going as far as the next night on Monday Night Raw, when the
2:04:28
whole thing with Brock Lesnar happened.
2:04:30
Like we told her, watch the episode and let us see your
2:04:36
face. Like let us have a live
2:04:38
reaction. We had a live reaction with her
2:04:40
and she was just like, Oh my God, it was the best thing ever.
2:04:45
Wish I would have screen recorded it, 'cause it was the
2:04:47
best thing ever that she ever did.
2:04:49
Like she was traumatized after the whole thing.
2:04:56
Of course, this year it's no different.
2:04:59
We're going to go ahead and do it.
2:05:01
I'm a messenger after this and be like, what do you think?
2:05:04
Hopefully. And I know.
2:05:06
It's like I know as soon as WrestleMania is over, I'm going
2:05:08
to be like in her messages saying like I told you so.
2:05:13
So if I know she going to listen to this, I'm sorry back.
2:05:17
But it's true. I told you so.
2:05:20
We love you, but I told you so. Dalia, you're still good with
2:05:26
me. I know we don't acknowledge you
2:05:30
don't acknowledge him, but it's OK.
2:05:34
We. I love you still.
2:05:35
All right. Everybody's allowed to have
2:05:38
their opinions. That is right and that's a wrap
2:05:46
for this episode once again. Catch it this weekend NXT at
2:05:50
