Transcript
- 0:01Last week we lost two amazing people from the wrestling world.
- 0:06Two amazing wrestling heroes to the wrestling fans, Terry Funk
- 0:15and Wyndham Rotunda. The latter was known
- 0:19professionally as Bray Wyatt. Both of them were great people.
- 0:25To their friends and families, to the wrestling world, to
- 0:29everything. To everybody from Monday.
- 0:32The Apron would like to give our condolences to their friends and
- 0:35family. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to
- 0:39do a tribute episode just in time because I'm still
- 0:45heartbroken. I but you know, trying to keep
- 0:56from crying from all the other tribute shows from this past
- 0:59week. Basically Smackdown, Impact,
- 1:02wrestling a W's all in with Buddy Murphy, setting a Lantern
- 1:06on the stage during the House of Black Entrants.
- 1:10Roggin NXT is really surreal to hear that a wrestler who you
- 1:21idolized? Who you look up to, who you just
- 1:25like. You know, it wasn't just these
- 1:33videos. It was the post as well.
- 1:36It was Twitter post. It was Instagram post.
- 1:41Including Vanessa Hudgens, an actress, High School Musical
- 1:44actress. I didn't even know she was a
- 1:48fan. And she was.
- 1:49And like, she like, sent out heartfelt condolences and all of
- 1:57that. And I'm like, wow, like Bray
- 2:00Wyatt was out there. So this is going to be a
- 2:10predictions episode. I kind of already recorded that
- 2:15part, but this part, I had to record it alone because I I knew
- 2:22I wasn't going to be able to let it all out.
- 2:27So just as we did with the other past episode where a wrestler
- 2:36falls and like, he's all like, I you know that sorry, there is a
- 2:45ring in heaven right now. And a bunch of my favorite
- 2:49wrestlers right now are having their own Rumble, Brody Lee,
- 2:54Terry Funk and Barry Wyndham. Barry Wyndham, I'm sorry, Bray
- 2:59Wyatt are up there right now just fucking their own Firefly,
- 3:05their own fun house, their own little thing.
- 3:08So yeah, so like the same thing I did with Scott Hall I'm gonna
- 3:16do here as well. At this time.
- 3:19I'm going to play the 10 Bell salute, and then I'm gonna
- 3:22follow it up with a few seconds of, my God, this amazing voice
- 3:27from Samantha Irving singing to every, you know, that song.
- 3:36This one goes out to all the fireflies.

- 8:08notes Payback 2023 will take place on Saturday, September 2nd
- 8:15at the PPG Paint Arena in Pittsburgh, PA That's a lot of
- 8:20peace on that sentence and will be first will be the first
- 8:26payback held since 2020. It also marks the first payback
- 8:29held on Saturday in September, as well as the first to live
- 8:32stream on Peacock in the United States and Binge in Australia.
- 8:36This will also be the first Payperview in the live stream
- 8:41event held in Pittsburgh since Extreme Rules in July 2018,
- 8:45which was at the same arena. The theme of the event is
- 8:48wrestler seeking payback against their opponents first match on
- 8:54the card, Becky Lynch versus Stress Stratus.
- 8:57In a Steel Cage match at Night of Champions Stress, Stratus
- 9:01defeated Becky Lynch. Second Center for Zoe Stark who
- 9:05was later reviewed as Stratus Protege.
- 9:07She continued to view with the three qualifying for the women's
- 9:11money in the bank ladder match, but none where victorious,
- 9:16although Stratus legitimately broke her nose during the match
- 9:19thanks to Lynch. Stratus then the Night Legends
- 9:21challenge to fight her, claiming she was not medically cleared,
- 9:25Stark instead faced and defeated Lynch on July 10th episode of
- 9:29Raw. The following week, Stratus said
- 9:31she would accept Lynch's challenge if Lynch could defeat
- 9:34Stark in a match on July 24th episode.
- 9:36But if Lynch failed, she would have to get down on her knees,
- 9:39thanks status and get thank you Trish tattooed on her chest.
- 9:42Of course that's not going to happen.
- 9:44Lynch won, setting up a rematch on the next episode that quickly
- 9:47ended in a disqualification win for Lynch.
- 9:49After start interfered later that the official Adam Pierce
- 9:53scheduled rematch for the August 14th episode with Stark Band
- 9:56from Ringside that ended in a double count out and the two
- 9:59brawls throughout the arena with Stark helping Stratus.
- 10:02Later, Pierce announced another rematch, this time as a Steel
- 10:06Cage match, which was scheduled for payback.
- 10:12So is the blue cage, is that what we're doing here, or is it
- 10:17like hell in the cell cage? Probably just a blue cage.
- 10:23I don't think they'll bring the hell in the cell, but you know,
- 10:26you never know. OK, so blue cage it is.
- 10:33I'm digging this story already. The fact that Tristrad is still
- 10:37around, when I saw like, I figured she'd be gone by
- 10:41WrestleMania or after she did the whole thing at WrestleMania.
- 10:45But no, here we are. So Becky let her stress stratas.
- 10:53I'm going to say Becky, Like, yeah, put in that to this match
- 10:56already. I'm, I'm done.
- 10:59I'm done with the storyline. I wait.
- 11:01I hope that this is the the IT the end, you know, because it's
- 11:07just too much. And I hate watching Trish Jadas
- 11:11fight because she looks like an old lady.
- 11:15She is, and I know she is, but she she looks like one.
- 11:20You know wrestling you know she Oh my God.
- 11:22This is this how we felt about was Mula Young back in the day
- 11:27like oh come on with these old ladies now Trish Brad, is this
- 11:30old lady coming back And really like, oh come on with this old
- 11:33lady. They should have made it a, you
- 11:37know, a. A retirement match is what they
- 11:40should have made it you. If you lose, you go back into
- 11:44retirement. If you win, OK.
- 11:47But if you lose, you gotta go. You gotta go.
- 11:52Take it out. Gotta go.
- 11:54Trish. Becky wins.
- 11:58Trish Tratus retired. Zoe star.
- 12:00Just go being solo again. I like.
- 12:05I dig it. Next match LA night versus the
- 12:11mid at Summer Slam Smackdowns LA Night One, The Slim Jim Super
- 12:17Summer Slam Battle Royal. Oh yeah brother Slim Jim.
- 12:24We had to do that during which he eliminated Ross the mid on
- 12:27the following Rob Mistook issue. With the amount of attention
- 12:30that night was receiving and the disrespect he was shown from
- 12:34night this prompted A confrontation between the two.
- 12:38After a couple of weeks of back and forth promos and interfering
- 12:41in matches, including Miss costing Night a shot the United
- 12:44States Championship, miss Challenge night to a match which
- 12:47he accepted in an interbrand match between the two was
- 12:50scheduled for payback. And even on Friday like his
- 12:56promo against miss like he and to pay tribute to Bray Wyatt who
- 13:03had just passed away. Some wise man told me that if
- 13:08you see me run, so there was that.
- 13:13I like it too. You know, I thought it was
- 13:16because, you know, I and I, I just like the whole promo.
- 13:21He's like, let me take the bass out of my voice.
- 13:23I was like, he's so he's, he's so funny.
- 13:31His impression was spot on. Yeah, it is.
- 13:34I love how he's like bringing like, every, not because of this
- 13:39right here, but every time you check on Twitter or YouTube.
- 13:44There's something he did back then and they're showing it like
- 13:49this reality show he was on with The Rock Triple H's old workout.
- 13:58Yeah, I saw that. He's in there.
- 14:01Like, how far back did this guy go?
- 14:05I'm like, wait, what? What's going on?
- 14:09And then a friend of ours, Manda Monir's.
- 14:13Yeah ruin. She has said that she even saw,
- 14:17like, the first night we met. Like every time she, like, comes
- 14:20up like, hey, you know, Have you ever seen Judge Dread?
- 14:24I'm like, yeah, Armand Asante. So Judge Dread's brother, I'm
- 14:30like, yeah, doesn't he look just like Ella Knight, like his
- 14:34goppelganger? And I'm like, wait a minute.
- 14:36So I go and look at Armand Assante as Rico from Judge
- 14:40Dread. I was like, holy shit.
- 14:43And she's looking at, she's like waiting for my reaction.
- 14:47I was like, Oh my God, it's him. She's like, see, I told you.
- 14:51And then she's all like, I told my husband about it and he
- 14:55didn't not believe me. And I'm just like, well damn,
- 14:58that was the worst British imitation of her.
- 15:00I'm sorry. I apologize and both ears
- 15:03ruined. I apologize about that one.
- 15:05But usually I I it's like she can start holding her pearls
- 15:08and, you know, telling me to call.
- 15:10My patches. She could tell me all this stuff
- 15:16later on. But yeah, that part right there,
- 15:22like we're we're all gonna fucking vote the Miss right?
- 15:24And not the Miss LA Night, right?
- 15:26Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's our guy.
- 15:31That's right. Like, OK, miss.
- 15:33I get that he got mad about the whole situation and all that
- 15:36stuff. He did an awesome promo.
- 15:39But that promo that he did against LA night after the
- 15:44Battle Royal the next night on RAW felt like he did it already.
- 15:49Like to every time he comes out back out from like a little,
- 15:55like he just does the same promo over and over again.
- 15:59You guys don't respect me and like he.
- 16:02Same thing he did with again. Daniel Bryan on Talking smack.
- 16:07Same thing he did when John Cena's been around.
- 16:10Same thing he did every other time, like he just comes out the
- 16:14same promo and he's gone back ever since.
- 16:18He did the promo where he walked out from the back of the arena
- 16:25to the front. That promo was him talking about
- 16:28I had to go change in the bathroom because somebody
- 16:32decided to throw my bags out. Chris Benoit, of course, like
- 16:35eating a chicken over his bag. And then Chris Benoit got mad
- 16:40and all that. Yeah, he just described Chris
- 16:42Benoit and everything. So ever since that day, he's
- 16:45been using the exact same situation, exact same promo.
- 16:49Here we are 2023. He's using it on LA Night.
- 16:52Like not LA night. Not the newest guy.
- 16:55Like the newest guy is probably getting the same treatment that
- 17:00Miss got back then. Yeah, so don't.
- 17:04Yeah. So yeah, the only thing that
- 17:09that bothered me about that is that the misused the same promo
- 17:12but LA Night for sure. Well, yeah, that's The thing is
- 17:17is. I think with them is, yeah, you
- 17:21keep bringing up all this old stuff, You know, As you said,
- 17:24he's using the same promo. Don't let them use you as a
- 17:29jobber no more. You know what I mean?
- 17:33Actually say, you know, I want real fights.
- 17:36I want, you know, to be against real competition.
- 17:40You know he keeps bringing out Tazawa to make him look good,
- 17:44but in this instance, Tazawa made him look bad because he
- 17:47lost. You know what I mean?
- 17:51It's like. Come on, yo, you wanna be the A
- 17:55Lister again? You know, compete.
- 17:59Be relevant, Be relevant again. Don't have like a backup like
- 18:04Damien Sandow when he had him be his stunt double because then
- 18:11Damien Sandow got a better pop than him.
- 18:14Don't have people like what's his face, Bo Dallas and Mr.
- 18:24Perfect Son out there and you know to be your your henchman
- 18:30cuz they're gonna get a bigger pop.
- 18:32Yeah, do it yourself. And like I I've been freaking
- 18:37like rooting for miss ever since speaking real world.
- 18:41Ever since the challenge. Ever since he showed up on Tough
- 18:45Enough. Ever since dude came out with
- 18:49suspenders and tried to read the freaking phone number on the
- 18:52saying on from his hand like he fucked it up.
- 18:57I've been to a fan of his ever since the new New York, the real
- 19:01world New York. But coming in here is like, Oh
- 19:04my God, same thing. Alright, let's do something
- 19:08different now dude, let's let's stop with the whole balls joke.
- 19:12Let's stop with the whole awesome, Let's do something
- 19:17different but at the same time, hell.
- 19:20And I got it. Like, I'm rooting for Ellen

- 19:31show and thought to yourself, Oh my God, that season finale plot

- 19:38immediately. Then we think you'll fit right

- 19:50total rinsing. They deserve It's basically
- 19:51group therapy for movie Mascus. So come check us out wherever
- 19:54you stream podcasts. Alright next match.
- 20:00Rey Mysterio versus Austin Theory for the United States
- 20:03Championship on July 28th episode of Smackdown.
- 20:08Santos Escobar face fellow Latino world order LWO
- 20:12stablemate Rey Mysterio in the fives of United States
- 20:15Championship Invitational Tournament to earn a title match
- 20:17against Austin Theory. Mysterio was injured during the
- 20:21match. Does Escobar was named the
- 20:24winner via referee stoppage? The Championship match.
- 20:27Was to occur on the August 11th episode.
- 20:30However, Dairy attacked Escobar before the match, rendering him
- 20:34unable to compete. W official Adam Pierce then
- 20:37allowed Mysterio to take Escobar's place and Face Theory
- 20:41for the title, which Mysterio won.
- 20:43The following week, Dairy demanded Mysterio to get back
- 20:46the championship as he was not supposed to be in the match.
- 20:48However, Pierce is that scheduled the number one
- 20:50contended match at Theory One on the August 25th episode.
- 20:54The rematcher was scheduled for payback and here we are.
- 20:59Of course Rey. Mysterious awesome theory for
- 21:02United States Championship. Who do you have?
- 21:06I got Rey Mysterio. I was tired of Theory and him
- 21:12being the United States Champion, the greatest one ever
- 21:16and the youngest one ever. Yeah, he don't get me wrong,
- 21:21Theory is a great wrestler. He's really good.
- 21:26He can win on his own. He doesn't need to cheat.
- 21:28But him being a heel, you know, and he just and the one of the,
- 21:35you know, ultimate opportunists, he finds opportunity.
- 21:39He's going to go for it. But yeah, I was just tired of
- 21:42him cheating to win because he doesn't need to.
- 21:46He's a great wrestler. Yeah.
- 21:51And I can like this one. I'm gonna say Austin theory and
- 21:57I hope somebody else doesn't sue me for this 'cause I almost got
- 22:02sued over the fact that Logan Paul won.
- 22:05Mmhmm. And people are just like, I
- 22:09don't know, I don't like that you said Logan Paul was gonna be
- 22:12ricochet and then he did. I'm just like, I'm sorry.
- 22:16So shout out to whoever thought they were gonna sue me.
- 22:19I countersuited and said like Nope, not gonna happen.
- 22:24But you know, you did make a valid point though.
- 22:26I I have to give it to you on that one.
- 22:28Alright, I'm gonna make another valid point here.
- 22:32OK. Maybe.
- 22:33Awesome theory. Yeah, awesome theory.
- 22:35With the wins with the help of Santos.
- 22:39Oh. OK, because that's an
- 22:43interesting one. It's not because maybe it is,
- 22:49but like Santos comes out and tries to help Ray but it
- 22:54backfires, thus giving Austin the belt.
- 22:57Or he just does it right here in turns.
- 23:01But at the same time I feel like the turn should like happen
- 23:05right here or in the weeks to come, but the Latino world order
- 23:13ends up being healed. Take kick Rey Mysterio out, and
- 23:18then Selina Vega turns on Santos as she continues to be faced.
- 23:24But then you got Santos. You got.
- 23:28And the other two who I forgot already.
- 23:30Damn. Walking wild, Walking wild and
- 23:38De Leon. Something like that.
- 23:40I forgot his name. I forgot his name.
- 23:43I just know walking wild because he was from TNA but but Austin
- 23:49theory wins this because of Santos and Santos becomes a heal
- 23:55again. He he returns to being a heal.
- 23:57We get back the whole family and all that stuff.
- 24:01Rey Mysterio versus Santos at the next pay-per-view.
- 24:06And I kind of want to see like the Tony D'Angelo back like on
- 24:13Smackdown when he comes back and with his other guy and then we
- 24:17can have this whole magic in. Or maybe that's going to be the
- 24:22whole Survivor Series match right there where he just goes
- 24:26to go get another family member. We'll see.
- 24:32We'll see how that goes. Very interesting.
- 24:34We'll see how that goes. I've been wrong before.
- 24:37I don't want to be wrong about this one.
- 24:41During the August 25th episode of Smackdown, was announced that
- 24:43Payback Grayson Waller would have a special edition of his
- 24:46talk show The Grayson Waller Effect with special guest Cody
- 24:50Rhodes. A talk show on the Payperview
- 24:55segment on the Okay? Sure.
- 25:00I don't understand that, but whatever.
- 25:03Yeah, I guess they needed that extra time, cuz they were like
- 25:06at least five matches here. That's all that's there.
- 25:13Yeah. I haven't seen like another.
- 25:14I mean, they're still tsunami. You know there's just tonight,
- 25:19but still at the same time. It's a smack down show right?
- 25:23Well, except with the exception of the World Heavyweight
- 25:25championship later on, cuz they can't get your boy over there.
- 25:32The travel chief? That's right.
- 25:35It's not his contract, right? Right, right.
- 25:42Next match Ria Ripley versus Raquel Rodriguez for the Women's
- 25:46World Championship on the June 19th episode of Raw.
- 25:51Raquel Rodriguez took issue with Women's World Champion Rare
- 25:54Ripley assaulting Natalia before their match.
- 25:57Also during this time Rodriguez Live Morgan would win the W
- 26:01Women's Taxing Championships. Ripley continued her post match
- 26:05results on Natalia which eventually led to a bra between
- 26:08Ripley and Rodriguez and Morgan on July 17th episode where
- 26:13Ripley injured Rodriguez left knee.
- 26:15This attack subsequently cost Rodriguez and Morgan that
- 26:19woman's tag team championship in the match later that night.
- 26:22After Morgan attacked Ripley later that night, a non title
- 26:26match between the two was scheduled for next week's
- 26:28episode. However, Ripley viciously
- 26:30attacked Morgan, injuring her marm.
- 26:33Thus, the match never happened. On the next episode, Rodriguez
- 26:36returned in broad with Ripley only to once again get injured.
- 26:39Later that night, W official Adam Peers stated that Rodriguez
- 26:43was not made clear to compete. However, he said that on she was
- 26:46clear she would get a match against Ripley.
- 26:49On the August 21 episode, Rodriguez was attacked Ripley
- 26:53and announced that she was medically cleared and that
- 26:55Pierce scheduled. Ripley defend the Women's World
- 26:57Championship against Rodriguez at Payback.
- 27:03And last week on NXT. On the 22nd, she showed up on
- 27:09NXT while Raya Ripley and Dominic Mysterio were facing
- 27:16Dragon Lee and Lyra Balkaria. God, I love that girl.
- 27:21I love that name too. So awesome.
- 27:25So yeah, those two we like. I'm ready.
- 27:32Not ready for a new Woman's World champion, but I'm ready
- 27:35for someone to beat her ass. Like to like?
- 27:38You mean you're ready for a real competition?
- 27:41Yes, but. Me too.
- 27:45I'm so ready. I, you know, I've been.
- 27:50I've watched these two fight each other before in NXT.
- 27:54Actually, no, I don't. Well, I don't think when I
- 27:56watched they plot. Or maybe they did like in a?
- 27:59I think they did like a War Games match.
- 28:02They did. They did did that.
- 28:05I wanna see them one-on-one. If I remember correctly it was
- 28:09Raquel Rodriguez who was the heel and rear the face and at
- 28:14the time they were pushing Raquel and Raquel did that power
- 28:20bomb that she does and into the stage through the stage.
- 28:25So, yeah, Knocked knocked her out.
- 28:28And that was at the time when Raquel and Dakota were tacking
- 28:34and stuff. So like, now it's like, all
- 28:38right, it's a double turn. Raquel, you're the face rear
- 28:41ripple, You're the heel. Like, you get to dominate this.
- 28:46But like, I've been waiting for these two to fight.
- 28:49Like, again. Yeah, heard that too.
- 28:51Or Bianca. Because finally, on the same
- 28:55brand. Yeah, they're finding the same
- 28:58brand. Yeah.
- 28:59And I was like, ooh, get that, Mommy.
- 29:01Let's go. You got Mommy, Ripley.
- 29:04Or then you got Raquel Rodriguez, who was just like,
- 29:07talk shit to you in Spanish, like you're not know Mommy.
- 29:10You're also love Mommy. So I'm like, yes, let's go,
- 29:15Let's do that. Who's gonna win, though?
- 29:20Who's gonna win? I think it's gonna be real.
- 29:25I think she's gonna keep the belt.
- 29:26So I say Ria, but it's gonna be a good match.
- 29:30It's not gonna be anything that's like this is lame.
- 29:34No, it's gonna be a good match, all right?
- 29:37I just say I'm ready for someone to kick her ass, but not to,
- 29:40like, win the belt. Raquel Rodriguez via DQ, OK?
- 29:47Because like, if she wins the belt and yeah, fine, I get it.
- 29:53But Raquel Rodriguez, I'm back in and going for Raquel
- 29:56Rodriguez to like, finally do it.
- 29:59And then for some reason that Dominic messes up.
- 30:04Yeah, uses his. I've been hearing, I've been
- 30:07hearing rumors that if you know that that may be how they break
- 30:12up their little, you know, relationship.
- 30:17The whole Judgment Day is going on Civil war.
- 30:19Yeah. Oh boy.
- 30:21And they say that. Yeah, they say that.
- 30:24I've been reading a lot of, like the rumors.
- 30:26They say that that's how it would come.
- 30:30You know she's gonna turn on down because he cost her the
- 30:34match or something, so but who stays here?
- 30:37Who stays face? He can't be a heel without her,
- 30:45so he'd have to be face. She stays heel.
- 30:49Nobody will like it. Everybody still boom, 'cause he
- 30:51sucks. Yeah, I say he becomes a heel
- 30:57and joins up with the other two guys and that's how the judgment
- 31:03date is bans and then it becomes like a all guy group.
- 31:06Ria goes her own way. That's that'd be great.
- 31:10Yeah, alright, final match of the night.
- 31:15Told you it was just like five matches.
- 31:18There's six matches. I don't know.
- 31:20Seth freaking Rollins with Shinsuke Nakamura for the World
- 31:23Heavyweight Championship on the August 7th episode of Ross.
- 31:27That's freaking Rollins. Except the Shinkin Nakamura's
- 31:30offer to be on his team in the six men tag team match with that
- 31:34night their team won. But during the celebration,
- 31:36Nakamura attacked Rollins with a kin.
- 31:38Sasha Kins. Sasha turning heel the following
- 31:43week, Nakamura stated that he wanted to World Heavyweight
- 31:46Championship, prompting Rollins to come to the ring saying that
- 31:48Nakamura won the championship. He would face Nakamura anytime
- 31:51with the title on the line. The two then shook hands, but
- 31:55Nakamura Fang leaving again attack Rollins with the king
- 31:59Shasha. King Shasha.
- 32:03On the next episode, a championship match between
- 32:05Rollins, Nakamura was scheduled for payback.
- 32:09There was also the whole thing where Nakamuro whispers
- 32:14something in Rollins ear and everybody was like, what he
- 32:17whisper in his ear, what he whisper in his ear.
- 32:19Well, it turns out that what he whispered in his ear was that he
- 32:23knows how to beat him, his back. He knows about his back and
- 32:30Rollins says, like, I have a history of my back being injured
- 32:36and here we are a few weeks away from payback and like he doesn't
- 32:43know how much time he has with that championship.
- 32:45He doesn't know how much time he has in wrestling.
- 32:48So again, you know everybody's back injury is coming up.
- 32:54The whole thing with Edge, why he retired was because of his
- 32:57back injury. So yeah, if keeps happening and
- 33:03I guess Nakamura kind of like exposed Seth weakness or Seth
- 33:08like a weakness from Seth, like everybody's gonna be going after
- 33:11his back from now on. Yep.
- 33:16And Nakamura is like the first to do is like, Oh yeah, I I'll
- 33:20break your back. Oh, my beer.
- 33:23Yeah, but I feel like Nakamura deserves this push, but not
- 33:32payback. Nah.
- 33:35You know, I was thinking before, you know, we did this, I was
- 33:39like, you know, they haven't really been pushing this one.
- 33:44You know, like, I haven't seen too many like you, like even
- 33:48like at the shows, they don't even say payback, you know,
- 33:52coming soon or anything like that.
- 33:53So I'm like if Nakamura was to win.
- 34:00I think it needs to be at a bigger one.
- 34:02So what's the next? Big One doesn't need a survivor
- 34:05service. No mercy survivor service,
- 34:08Survivor service. I think Keisha went in at
- 34:13Survivor service. That'd be great.
- 34:16Or we're rumble. Whichever.
- 34:18Hold on, hold on. Your clock?
- 34:24Yeah. Dang.
- 34:38Yeah. Or survivors.
- 34:41Or were rumble. That'd be great.
- 34:44Yeah, but who's gonna win this match?
- 34:50I think Seth, he's gonna win that Seth.
- 34:53But I think about. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm saying Seth.
- 34:58I'm on Seth bandwagon right now. Alright, uh, that's wins.
- 35:04But Shinsuke? Uh, Nakamura.
- 35:08Uh tacks him after the match and continues to work on his back,
- 35:12setting it up for another match again for the next baby.
- 35:16Probably hell in the cell. Probably a big four on four.
- 35:22Like if you're gonna push Shinsuke, do it like this where
- 35:27it just like becomes a long burn and we get like the payoff at
- 35:31either Survivor Series or. Yeah, yeah, I think that or
- 35:43they'll do the, you know, the whole, you know, #1 contenders,
- 35:48you know, and they do it not just in a Fatal 4 way kind of,
- 35:53you know, kind of extended out so that.
- 35:57You know this week this, it's this person, this person you
- 36:00know and then the winner faces this person.
- 36:02And then, like that, do a bracket.
- 36:05There you go. Much better.
- 36:11All right, That's all the matches we have, all right?
- 36:16And that was all the matches for payback on Saturday, September
