Latest / Solomonster Sounds Off / WWE Raw 5/25/26 Review | Logan Paul INJURED, Oba Femi Threatens To KILL BROCK LENSAR
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Shout out to the new arcades. It's never a Monday
- 0:04Speaker 1: Night Raw stream until you hear brand new phone gets
- 0:07Speaker 1: me all pumped up. I don't just play that song
- 0:10Speaker 1: at the beginning of the Raw reviews, man, I'm playing
- 0:12Speaker 1: that's on my Spotify playlist.
- 0:13Speaker 2: At the gym. Fucking love that song.
- 0:17Speaker 1: I wish that I had a little more energy today
- 0:20Speaker 1: because unfortunately I didn't get to bed until four o'clock
- 0:22Speaker 1: in the morning, which is how you know that there
- 0:25Speaker 1: was an aw pay per.
- 0:26Speaker 2: View last night, So thanks aw.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Thankfully we had a great pay per view last night,
- 0:33Speaker 1: so I can't really complain too much. But here we
- 0:36Speaker 1: are now for Monday Night Raw, the final raw before
- 0:40Speaker 1: Clash in Italy. This Sunday, we had Roman Reigns and
- 0:45Speaker 1: Jacob Fatu signing the contract for Tribal Combat tonight, their
- 0:52Speaker 1: second contract signing inside.
- 0:54Speaker 2: Of a month.
- 0:55Speaker 1: So if you were wondering, is this company devoid of
- 0:58Speaker 1: any new ideas, the answer is yes, yes they are.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Two contract signings in one month. Couldn't come up with
- 1:07Speaker 1: something different, so they signed the contract. They shook hands,
- 1:13Speaker 1: they pressed their foreheads against each other, basically bowed to
- 1:16Speaker 1: each other in a show of respect. A blood oath
- 1:19Speaker 1: is what Roman Reigns said. He told that appears, don't
- 1:21Speaker 1: worry about all you security people. You can leave no
- 1:24Speaker 1: physicality here. He made a blood oath by signing this contract,
- 1:29Speaker 1: So there was no physicality between the two of them
- 1:31Speaker 1: tonight outside of what I just mentioned there at the
- 1:33Speaker 1: very end. And as I look at this match coming
- 1:37Speaker 1: up on Sunday, Sunday afternoon next week, honestly, the only thing,
- 1:43Speaker 1: the only way that things change is if Jacob Fatu wins,
- 1:50Speaker 1: Because if Roman Reigns wins this match, nothing changes, right,
- 1:54Speaker 1: Jacob fa Twu has to acknowledge him, just like everybody
- 1:58Speaker 1: else has done, and the bloodline stuff sort of goes
- 2:01Speaker 1: on the way that it's always gone on. At least,
- 2:04Speaker 1: if Jacob fa Twu were to come out of that
- 2:06Speaker 1: match with a win, there is the chance that they
- 2:09Speaker 1: could kind of shake things up a little bit. Things
- 2:11Speaker 1: will be a little bit different. As Roman said tonight,
- 2:14Speaker 1: you become the leader. I have to take your lead.
- 2:17Speaker 1: I have to acknowledge you, you become the man. At
- 2:22Speaker 1: least that would be something different. So you kind of
- 2:25Speaker 1: hope to see a Jacob fa Tou win for two reasons.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Number one again. It would be something different. But also
- 2:31Speaker 1: I don't like the idea of Jacob Fatu going in
- 2:33Speaker 1: there and losing back to back matches. Do I believe
- 2:36Speaker 1: Jacob Fatu is going to win on Sunday? No, not really.
- 2:41Speaker 1: But it truly would be the only way to try
- 2:43Speaker 1: to shake things up here and do things a little
- 2:45Speaker 1: bit different with the bloodline stuff. Because the bloodline stuff
- 2:48Speaker 1: is not going to go away. The bloodline stuff, that's
- 2:50Speaker 1: their bread and butter. They're not going to let that go.
- 2:53Speaker 1: We'll be sitting here two three years from now still
- 2:55Speaker 1: talking about some variation of the blood line. But at
- 2:58Speaker 1: least it would give a a new perspective to things, right,
- 3:02Speaker 1: It would change things a little bit by putting Jacob
- 3:05Speaker 1: in the driver's seat and not having Roman in that spot,
- 3:07Speaker 1: having Roman kind of take a step back. How does
- 3:09Speaker 1: he respond to that? How does you react to that?
- 3:12Speaker 1: Can he take second place, place, second fiddle to somebody
- 3:15Speaker 1: else in the family. That would really be the way
- 3:19Speaker 1: to go. Now that we've seen all of the raws now,
- 3:22Speaker 1: and here we are now the pay per view pl
- 3:24Speaker 1: is on Sunday. I can't say that I'm all that
- 3:26Speaker 1: convinced that things are going to be any different this
- 3:28Speaker 1: time than they were a backlash. I just thought, I
- 3:31Speaker 1: don't get that feeling. Obafemi against Brock Lesner is official
- 3:36Speaker 1: or clash in Italy. The contract has officially been signed
- 3:39Speaker 1: by both parties. Now, Brock was not on the show
- 3:41Speaker 1: tonight outside of a video package which we will talk about.
- 3:46Speaker 1: The Cavaliers are not the only things to be cursed
- 3:50Speaker 1: the Vision. Now, sure, the Vision was cursed long before
- 3:53Speaker 1: the Calves were. The Calves were swept out into the
- 3:57Speaker 1: sea by the way tonight. But the New York now,
- 3:59Speaker 1: they didn't even try. They didn't even try. I was
- 4:02Speaker 1: periodically checking here as I was watching raw, just to
- 4:06Speaker 1: see what the score was, and they were up twenty
- 4:09Speaker 1: twenty five points, not even trying. They gave up, truthfully,
- 4:16Speaker 1: they gave up after Game one. But they didn't even
- 4:20Speaker 1: put in the effort tonight. They just basically handed it
- 4:23Speaker 1: to them bees. The Cavs are not the only organization,
- 4:27Speaker 1: the only group that is cursed. The Vision is cursed.
- 4:31Speaker 1: We talked about the Vision curse months ago. Seth Rollins
- 4:34Speaker 1: got her, bron Breaker got her, Bronson Reed got hurt,
- 4:37Speaker 1: and now you can add another name to that. List
- 4:40Speaker 1: in Logan Paul Logan, Paul has a torn tri sep.
- 4:45Speaker 1: He is gone for the foreseeable future. That's at least
- 4:48Speaker 1: six months right there. So he is gone. He is
- 4:51Speaker 1: out of the Vision for the time being, and in
- 4:54Speaker 1: his place, bron Breaker will fill in as one half
- 4:57Speaker 1: of the Tag Team Champions, which which is great. Bron
- 5:02Speaker 1: Breaker gets a useless belt that means absolutely nothing exactly
- 5:06Speaker 1: what he needs. Bron Breaker wasn't even on the show tonight.
- 5:09Speaker 1: They probably told him say, hey, look, Logan's hurt and
- 5:12Speaker 1: you're gonna be one half of the Tag Team Champions.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Now He's like, I ain't showing up. I don't want
- 5:18Speaker 2: no part of that.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Bron Breaker was nowhere to be found tonight. But yes,
- 5:23Speaker 1: I guess they're playing up the free bird rule. So
- 5:26Speaker 1: the tag team titles are not going anywhere. Let's be
- 5:28Speaker 1: honest here, Okay, does anybody even give a shit? They
- 5:33Speaker 1: may as well keep the belts with the Vision. Who
- 5:35Speaker 1: else are they gonna give him to? What are you
- 5:36Speaker 1: gonna do have a tournament with who? If you were
- 5:39Speaker 1: gonna have a tournament to crown new world Tag Team
- 5:41Speaker 1: Champions on raw, what would the teams be? You have
- 5:45Speaker 1: the USO's right, you have the Street Profits, you have
- 5:51Speaker 1: the war Raiders, who aren't even on raw anymore, right
- 5:53Speaker 1: that they've been in Triple A more recently.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Who else is there? Who are we missing Judgment day?
- 6:01Speaker 1: I guess you could put Dom and McDonough to get
- 6:05Speaker 1: like this. This is where the well starts to run dry.
- 6:07Speaker 1: I'm not even convinced they have enough teams to support
- 6:10Speaker 1: something like that. They'd have to have like some Battle
- 6:12Speaker 1: Royal or something. It's pathetic. State of the tag team
- 6:16Speaker 1: division right now is pathetic. May as well keep the
- 6:21Speaker 1: belts on them. We had a couple of really good
- 6:24Speaker 1: matches tonight. We had Penta against Javon Evans for the
- 6:27Speaker 1: Intercontinental Championship.
- 6:28Speaker 2: That was a damn good match.
- 6:30Speaker 1: And we had Seth Rollins against montes Ford, which is
- 6:32Speaker 1: the match that I've been waiting to see. Remember I've
- 6:34Speaker 1: been saying this over the last few weeks. I go, hey,
- 6:36Speaker 1: sign me up for Rollins against montes Ford. I wasn't
- 6:40Speaker 1: expecting that we were going to get it unadvertised tonight,
- 6:42Speaker 1: but we did, and it actually was not even the
- 6:45Speaker 1: best match on the show. I have to give that
- 6:47Speaker 1: to Penta and Javon. They had the match of the night,
- 6:49Speaker 1: but we had a couple of good matches on the show.
- 6:52Speaker 1: We also found out that the qualifying matches for the
- 6:56Speaker 1: King and Queen of the Ring are kicking off next on,
- 7:01Speaker 1: so as we have the owen Hart Foundation tournaments underway
- 7:04Speaker 1: now in aaw King and Queen of the Ring.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Are about to commence.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Very interesting though that when Michael Cole was talking about
- 7:11Speaker 1: King and Queen of the Ring, he mentioned that the
- 7:13Speaker 1: winners of these tournaments will earn a championship opportunity, and
- 7:18Speaker 1: he stopped short of saying SummerSlam. There was no mention
- 7:21Speaker 1: of SummerSlam. Now it could be apropos of nothing. I mean,
- 7:25Speaker 1: if they're gonna get title shots at SummerSlam, I'm not
- 7:27Speaker 1: really sure why you wouldn't just say that it's possible
- 7:30Speaker 1: it will be Summer slim And for whatever reason, I
- 7:32Speaker 1: guess Summerslam's still a few months away. They don't want
- 7:34Speaker 1: to mention it. But there was no mention of exactly
- 7:37Speaker 1: when they would be getting those title opportunities. So we'll
- 7:40Speaker 1: see if it's going to stay the way it was
- 7:42Speaker 1: last year. On the whole look, I thought it was.
- 7:46Speaker 1: It was fine, The show was fine. It was not great,
- 7:50Speaker 1: It was not terrible. It was a show. It had
- 7:54Speaker 1: its moments. Like I said, we had a couple of
- 7:56Speaker 1: good matches on there. I thought they did an adequate
- 7:59Speaker 1: job when it came to do the key matches on
- 8:01Speaker 1: the card on Sunday. So as a go home show,
- 8:04Speaker 1: it was fine. It was by no means the worst
- 8:07Speaker 1: WWE show that I've seen this month. And we'll talk
- 8:11Speaker 1: about some other things that happened here as we go
- 8:13Speaker 1: through this your raw on Netflix review. This is the
- 8:16Speaker 1: final This is the final raw right for the month
- 8:19Speaker 1: of May. Yes, it is final raw for the month
- 8:20Speaker 1: of May. It is Memorial Day, May twenty fifth, twenty
- 8:23Speaker 1: twenty six. I am the solemn monster, A very sleepy
- 8:28Speaker 1: solemn monster here with you. Who can I could feel it.
- 8:33Speaker 1: I could feel it. I'm getting sick. I could feel
- 8:35Speaker 1: I just I knew it.
- 8:37Speaker 2: I knew it.
- 8:38Speaker 1: What happens when you go on fucking three hour sleep.
- 8:40Speaker 1: This is what happens. But we'll get through it. Hit
- 8:44Speaker 1: that like button, hit that subscribe button. Super chats are open.
- 8:47Speaker 1: I will be reading your messages as they come in,
- 8:49Speaker 1: and of course I always appreciate your support. I also
- 8:52Speaker 1: want to thank everybody who hung out with me very
- 8:54Speaker 1: late last night for the double or Nothing review. I
- 8:59Speaker 1: think that was one of the the latest installments of
- 9:01Speaker 1: Be the Booker that we've ever done. It was after
- 9:04Speaker 1: three o'clock in the morning, but we had fun with it.
- 9:06Speaker 2: We had fun with it.
- 9:07Speaker 1: If you missed the review, you want to check out
- 9:09Speaker 1: all or part of it. It is up on the
- 9:11Speaker 1: channel right now. So when we are done here, go
- 9:13Speaker 1: back and check it out. I think it's pretty good.
- 9:17Speaker 1: I thought we did pretty good last night, so anyway,
- 9:19Speaker 1: go ahead and check it out. See that image right
- 9:20Speaker 1: there of MJF Bald. It's the only time you're ever
- 9:23Speaker 1: going to see him bald, not until he's in his
- 9:26Speaker 1: fifties or sixties. Only in that thumbnail. It's the only
- 9:29Speaker 1: time you get to see him bald because he kept
- 9:31Speaker 1: his hair. He is once again the aw World Champion,
- 9:37Speaker 1: as it should be, and all is right with the
- 9:40Speaker 1: wrestling world. But we got a wheel to spin to
- 9:43Speaker 1: find out how many likes we need for Be the
- 9:44Speaker 1: Booker tonight, to find that if we can hit this goal,
- 9:49Speaker 1: I don't want you guys sleeping on me.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Let's see here what we are up against.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Not too terrible four fifty, like a four to fifty
- 10:01Speaker 1: splash off the top. Now we're a two fifteen right now,
- 10:03Speaker 1: so I don't know, but that's not too bad. Four
- 10:07Speaker 1: hundred and fifty likes is what we are looking for.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Let's get into this here. Let's start from the very
- 10:11Speaker 1: top and go through Monday Night Raw. Because Paul Haman
- 10:17Speaker 1: was standing in the ring at the beginning of the
- 10:18Speaker 1: show as Michael Cole talked about Oba, Femi and Brock
- 10:23Speaker 1: Lesner being official for clash in Italy this Sunday, Hayman
- 10:26Speaker 1: told the people to shut up, and then he pitched
- 10:29Speaker 1: it to a Brock Lesner video package, which included a
- 10:32Speaker 1: pre taped interview with Brock that I'm sure they filmed
- 10:34Speaker 1: last week. Lesner said that he didn't get a chance
- 10:37Speaker 1: to congratulate Oba last week on his Wrestle Media win.
- 10:41Speaker 1: He said that the wind would cost Oba more than
- 10:43Speaker 1: he could ever imagine.
- 10:45Speaker 2: He said that he's had.
- 10:45Speaker 1: His share of ass whoopings over the years, but nothing
- 10:48Speaker 1: like this one at wrestle Media. Lesner said that it
- 10:51Speaker 1: was humbling, and Oba beat his ass so badly that
- 10:55Speaker 1: he thought he was done. That was going to be it,
- 10:58Speaker 1: but he said he's not going out that way. He
- 11:00Speaker 1: said he can take an ass whooping, but Oba can you.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Lesner said Oba would get his ass kicked by a humbled,
- 11:07Speaker 1: retired beast, and he said that he would conquer Oba.
- 11:11Speaker 1: I am going to rule over Oba Femi. So then
- 11:16Speaker 1: back in the ring, Brock of course was not there,
- 11:18Speaker 1: but Hayman was, and he said, the good news is
- 11:21Speaker 1: that everybody would get to see history play out before
- 11:23Speaker 1: their very eyes on Sunday. He said, the bad news
- 11:26Speaker 1: is that Oba has awakened the beast, and he said
- 11:30Speaker 1: that can mean only one thing. And before he could
- 11:33Speaker 1: go on, he was interrupted by Oba's music, and so
- 11:36Speaker 1: he strutted down to the ring. You know, I noticed
- 11:39Speaker 1: during the show tonight, and I imagine this was during
- 11:42Speaker 1: one of the commercial breaks they now have what they
- 11:44Speaker 1: call the strut cam and they cut to people in
- 11:48Speaker 1: the crowd doing the Oba strut.
- 11:51Speaker 2: So that's like a new thing they just started.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Oba comes down to the ring, Hayman is just he's
- 11:57Speaker 1: cowering in the corner. Oba basically has got him cornered
- 12:01Speaker 1: and he's all up in his space and he remembers,
- 12:06Speaker 1: you know, Hayman's saying that he had awoken the beast.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Oba asked Hayman, what do you think four F fives
- 12:14Speaker 1: woke up in him? He told Hayman that he wouldn't
- 12:17Speaker 1: hurt him because he needed him alive and well to
- 12:19Speaker 1: tell the tale of Brock Lesner. Oba said that Hayman
- 12:22Speaker 1: would fast forward to the end when he retires Lesner
- 12:25Speaker 1: for the second time. And Oba said that he knew
- 12:27Speaker 1: Hayman would claim it was just business, but four F
- 12:31Speaker 1: fives was very personal to him. And Oba pulled out
- 12:35Speaker 1: a contract. It was the contract for their match on Sunday.
- 12:38Speaker 1: He signed the contract and said that it was the
- 12:41Speaker 1: final chapter. He signed it on Hayman. He said, deliver
- 12:45Speaker 1: this message to Brock. Tell him the last time I
- 12:47Speaker 1: was fighting to beat him. This time I'm fighting to
- 12:52Speaker 1: kill him. Which was a cold closing line here. And
- 12:59Speaker 1: so we have the remat it is all set up.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Part two is going to be taking place in Turin
- 13:04Speaker 1: this Sunday. I mean, you never know what you're going
- 13:06Speaker 1: to get in some of these international cities, but generally speaking,
- 13:09Speaker 1: and we saw this in France, we saw this in really,
- 13:13Speaker 1: I mean it's always in the UK, there are always
- 13:15Speaker 1: a hot crowd there. Puerto Rico's not international crowd. But
- 13:19Speaker 1: when they go to these places for these pls, and
- 13:21Speaker 1: they typically do not run plees, they have been rewarded
- 13:25Speaker 1: with some hot crowds. I would imagine it's funny too,
- 13:28Speaker 1: because there was a point in time, I want to say,
- 13:31Speaker 1: maybe it was I don't know, fifteen years ago or
- 13:34Speaker 1: so where for whatever reason, WWE was super hot in
- 13:39Speaker 1: Italy and then it kind of died off. I don't
- 13:41Speaker 1: know what it's like these days, but if they can
- 13:44Speaker 1: get a hot crowd there in Turin, it it just
- 13:46Speaker 1: makes things that much bigger. You put these two guys
- 13:50Speaker 1: in the ring, this match would probably get a big
- 13:51Speaker 1: reaction anywhere, but in that city, on this particular show,
- 13:57Speaker 1: this could be very special. Now, it seems pretty obvious
- 14:01Speaker 1: if you look at it. They brought Brock back. They're
- 14:03Speaker 1: probably gonna want to do a trilogy, and so of course,
- 14:07Speaker 1: you know, Brock's probably gonna get his win back, right,
- 14:09Speaker 1: and then Oba can win the Blowoff. I'm gonna take
- 14:12Speaker 1: a different approach here, and I'll have my full predictions
- 14:17Speaker 1: for the for the ple e tomorrow and the Uncrowned
- 14:19Speaker 1: Wrestling Show, But on this I will say this. I
- 14:24Speaker 1: tend to go in a different direction with this. I
- 14:26Speaker 1: don't think brock Lesner needs to win this match.
- 14:30Speaker 2: I don't.
- 14:31Speaker 1: I don't think brock Lesnar needs to win this match
- 14:35Speaker 1: to still do a trilogy. They're absolutely going to want
- 14:38Speaker 1: to do a trilogy. That's fine. Brock Lesnar does not
- 14:42Speaker 1: need to win this match. Opa Femi should win this
- 14:44Speaker 1: match on Sunday. You know, we had brock Lesner in
- 14:47Speaker 1: this promo talking about how WrestleMania he was humbled, right
- 14:52Speaker 1: and he thought that's it, I'm done. Then he decided no, no, no,
- 14:56Speaker 1: I can't go out that way. I have to come back. Well,
- 15:00Speaker 1: this is a very easy story to tell here that
- 15:02Speaker 1: does not require Oba Femi to be beaten by brock Lesner.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Oba goes in there and beats him again. And I'm
- 15:10Speaker 1: not saying it has to be easy. It could be
- 15:12Speaker 1: more competitive this time. You could have a little bit
- 15:14Speaker 1: of a longer match if you want to have it.
- 15:17Speaker 1: But I would have him go in there and beat
- 15:20Speaker 1: brock again, which only drives brock Lesnar that much crazier.
- 15:26Speaker 1: And if the idea that he came back because I
- 15:29Speaker 1: can't go out like that, well then it stands to
- 15:31Speaker 1: reason if he loses again on Sunday, he's still gonna
- 15:34Speaker 1: feel the same way. I can't go out like that.
- 15:37Speaker 1: And that leads to one more match. They could do
- 15:40Speaker 1: the match in Minneapolis, they could do the match at
- 15:42Speaker 1: Summer Slim, And this time Brock makes it very clear,
- 15:46Speaker 1: for real, this time, legit, I'm putting my career on
- 15:51Speaker 1: the line. I want one more shot at it. I'm
- 15:54Speaker 1: willing to put my career on and this time I'll
- 15:56Speaker 1: put it in writing so you could hold me to it.
- 15:59Speaker 1: If I can't beat I'm done. And we get to
- 16:03Speaker 1: the point where everybody thought we were headed anyway at
- 16:07Speaker 1: one time, which is that Brock may well retire in Minneapolis.
- 16:10Speaker 1: At Summerslim. You could still do that and have Oba
- 16:13Speaker 1: run the table on him and win all three matches.
- 16:16Speaker 1: And it makes me, It makes me think of triple
- 16:19Speaker 1: H and Batista. Batista is the one guy that triple
- 16:24Speaker 1: H more than any other one. I think back to
- 16:26Speaker 1: his career. Who did triple H put over in like
- 16:28Speaker 1: the biggest possible way, There's only one guy. It wasn't
- 16:33Speaker 1: Randy Orton, it wasn't John Seen, it was Dave Batista.
- 16:37Speaker 1: Because they went to WrestleMania right he beat him for
- 16:41Speaker 1: the World Heavyweight Championship. That was the crowning moment for
- 16:44Speaker 1: Big Dave. They had three pay per view matches that year.
- 16:47Speaker 1: They had three I think consecutive pay per view matches,
- 16:50Speaker 1: and Batista won every single.
- 16:52Speaker 2: One of them. Triple H lost all three.
- 16:56Speaker 1: He could not have put him over any stronger than
- 16:58Speaker 1: he did.
- 17:00Speaker 2: For this.
- 17:02Speaker 1: You can absolutely get a trilogy out of it without
- 17:04Speaker 1: ever having to beat Obafemi. If you do not want
- 17:06Speaker 1: to beat Obafemi and I just don't see the need
- 17:08Speaker 1: to do it, That's how I think this should play out.
- 17:12Speaker 1: That's how I think this will play out. Maybe I'm
- 17:14Speaker 1: in the minority on that, but that's my sense of it.
- 17:16Speaker 1: And look, if Oba loses, okay, it's all in how
- 17:20Speaker 1: you execute it. It's not going to go in there
- 17:23Speaker 1: and get squashed. Oba will be fine either way. But
- 17:27Speaker 1: if you want to keep him dominant, you do the
- 17:31Speaker 1: one thing that most people are probably not expecting you
- 17:33Speaker 1: to do. You want to really shock people, You want
- 17:36Speaker 1: to really establish this guy is a force to be
- 17:38Speaker 1: reckoned with. Brock Lesner just can't figure this guy out.
- 17:42Speaker 1: He's the one guy in twenty five years that Brock
- 17:45Speaker 1: simply cannot figure out. Be A Penta against Javon Evans.
- 17:54Speaker 1: This was for the Intercontinental Championship.
- 17:58Speaker 2: This was very, very good.
- 18:00Speaker 1: During the commercial break, Evans he ran around the ring
- 18:02Speaker 1: outside and he tackled Penta over the barricade into the
- 18:06Speaker 1: front row back inside. Evans he wasn't smiling anymore. He
- 18:10Speaker 1: was all business. Usually he's the bouncy boy and he's
- 18:12Speaker 1: got a big smile on his face, but he was
- 18:14Speaker 1: taking this seriously. So with Penta on the apron. Later on,
- 18:18Speaker 1: Evans hit an og cutter on the apron and got
- 18:22Speaker 1: him back inside for a two count. Pent To caught
- 18:24Speaker 1: Evans off a springboard and hit a Penta driver for
- 18:27Speaker 1: a two. So then Penta went up top. Evans met
- 18:30Speaker 1: him up there and Penta managed to knock him off,
- 18:33Speaker 1: but Evans he leaps back up to the top and
- 18:36Speaker 1: he takes Penta all the way down with an avalanche
- 18:39Speaker 1: hurrican rana. Evans tries for the og cutter again. Pentado
- 18:43Speaker 1: catches him on the way down flush with a superkick,
- 18:46Speaker 1: and then he.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Goes for a destroyer.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Evans, though, counters with a knee strike as he comes
- 18:50Speaker 1: in Evans tried again for an og cutter, but this
- 18:54Speaker 1: time Penta caught him out of midair into a backstabber
- 18:57Speaker 1: followed by a Mexican destroyer for the win. And they
- 19:01Speaker 1: had a hell of a match, just a great match
- 19:04Speaker 1: here between these two men. Penta he raised Evans hand,
- 19:08Speaker 1: or went to go raise his hand when the match
- 19:10Speaker 1: was over. Evans, though very frustrated, he just yanked his
- 19:13Speaker 1: hand away and he left the ring. And then later
- 19:15Speaker 1: on in the back, Penta approached him and Evans stopped him,
- 19:19Speaker 1: and he apologized for being unprofessional, and he called Penta
- 19:23Speaker 1: a great champion, but he let him know that he
- 19:25Speaker 1: would be seeing him again very soon, and Penta said,
- 19:28Speaker 1: I welcome the challenge, right he's ready for it. So
- 19:32Speaker 1: Evans walked off, and I liked the idea of not
- 19:36Speaker 1: turning Evans heel, but just giving him more of an edge.
- 19:40Speaker 1: I think that's something his character could use now. When
- 19:43Speaker 1: he left, the new General manager of Triple A, Raymisterio,
- 19:48Speaker 1: showed up. He approached Penta, he congratulated him on all
- 19:51Speaker 1: of his success. Penta congratulated Ray on scoring the GM
- 19:55Speaker 1: role and then said that he wanted to be a
- 19:57Speaker 1: fighting champion, and there was no one that he would
- 19:59Speaker 1: rather get into the ring and face than Raymysterio, and
- 20:04Speaker 1: Ray was all excited about the sounds of that. Penta
- 20:07Speaker 1: went off to go, I guess to chat up Adam
- 20:10Speaker 1: Pierce to make it official. So we're gonna be getting
- 20:13Speaker 1: Raymysterio very soon, one on one with Penta for the
- 20:16Speaker 1: Intercontinental Championship. So we are hearkening back to the days
- 20:20Speaker 1: of Luca Underground, Raymysterio against Pentagon Dark. These days it's
- 20:26Speaker 1: more like Pentagon not so dark. Pent is still great though,
- 20:30Speaker 1: So yeah, I liked all of this. Ray and Penta.
- 20:33Speaker 1: That's a great match. I'd love to see it. I'd
- 20:36Speaker 1: love to see Ray and you know the other Ray
- 20:41Speaker 1: Ray Phoenix and Penta a little bit more, but that'll
- 20:44Speaker 1: be a good one. And again pent and Javon Evans,
- 20:47Speaker 1: they can run that back any week because what we
- 20:50Speaker 1: got tonight from them, it was the best match on
- 20:52Speaker 1: the entire show. Now, at this point, Michael Cole made
- 20:55Speaker 1: the announcement that Logan Paul had suffered a torn triceps
- 20:58Speaker 1: during the World Tag Team title match at Saturday Night's
- 21:02Speaker 1: main event, and they aired footage of the spot where
- 21:05Speaker 1: it happened. Angela Dawkins had done a dive out over
- 21:08Speaker 1: the top rope, and just the way he landed on Logan,
- 21:11Speaker 1: he knew instantly, you know, he kind of grabbed at
- 21:13Speaker 1: his left arm that something bad had happened. So Logan
- 21:17Speaker 1: at that point Hayman had to help him up, and
- 21:20Speaker 1: we're not going to be seeing Logan.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Paul for a while.
- 21:22Speaker 1: We go backstage Austin Theory is with Paul Hayman and
- 21:25Speaker 1: he is looking crestfallen at the loss of his tag
- 21:28Speaker 1: team partner. He's got his tag team championship belt and
- 21:31Speaker 1: he tells Hayman, I don't know what you want me
- 21:33Speaker 1: to do with this, and Hayman.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Says, what do you mean. Theory said, well, Logan's.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Hurt, and Hayman explained that, look, I put it in
- 21:43Speaker 1: every contract that the Vision would be the ones defending
- 21:47Speaker 1: the tag team titles, meaning any two members of the
- 21:49Speaker 1: Vision can defend the belts. All of a sudden, All
- 21:53Speaker 1: of a sudden, this is the first that we're hearing
- 21:55Speaker 1: of the freebird role being employed here with the Vision.
- 21:57Speaker 1: But look, obviously this happened only a couple of days ago,
- 22:03Speaker 1: and so they had to come up with something on
- 22:05Speaker 1: the fly, and this is what they came up with.
- 22:08Speaker 1: So Hayman mentioned the possibility that bron Breaker will be
- 22:12Speaker 1: filling in to be his new tag team partner, and
- 22:14Speaker 1: this excited Austin Theory like you would not believe. He
- 22:17Speaker 1: was very, very happy about that, and he hugged Hayman.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Hayman said, look, I did this for you, but now
- 22:25Speaker 1: you need to take out everybody responsible for what happened
- 22:28Speaker 1: to Logan. He said, Theory knows what he has to
- 22:31Speaker 1: do and more importantly, to whom he must do it.
- 22:36Speaker 1: That story would play out for the remainder of the
- 22:39Speaker 1: show as we went along. During the commercial break, guess
- 22:43Speaker 1: who was in the ring? No entrance yet again, no music,
- 22:48Speaker 1: He's just sitting there in the ring.
- 22:51Speaker 2: Joe Hendry.
- 22:53Speaker 1: And Joe Hendry is in the ring again leading the
- 22:55Speaker 1: fans and his can we Fire Logan Paul song which
- 22:59Speaker 1: was still playing when they came back from commercial in
- 23:03Speaker 1: the middle of him serenading the crowd until Austin Theory
- 23:07Speaker 1: attacked Henry from behind with a steel chair. Theory hit
- 23:10Speaker 1: him repeatedly in the back with the chair. He was
- 23:13Speaker 1: about to leave, and he turned around and Henry. Basically
- 23:18Speaker 1: Hendry was down, but like his head was sort of
- 23:22Speaker 1: outside the ring over by the post the way he
- 23:25Speaker 1: was laying, and so Theory came back over with the
- 23:28Speaker 1: chair and he crushed his head against the ring post
- 23:31Speaker 1: with the chair, and Michael Cole instantly began, you know,
- 23:37Speaker 1: begging for medical to come out here to check on
- 23:39Speaker 1: this man. So they killed off Joe Henry. And let's
- 23:43Speaker 1: be honest, they've done a pretty good job of killing
- 23:46Speaker 1: off Joe Hendry from the moment they called him up
- 23:48Speaker 1: to Monday night Row. They've done nothing with this man. Look,
- 23:52Speaker 1: I never had any expectation of him coming to the
- 23:55Speaker 1: main roster and flirting with you know, the main events
- 23:58Speaker 1: scene or the World Championship.
- 23:59Speaker 2: That's not going to happen.
- 24:01Speaker 1: But they have done absolutely nothing. They've done nothing with
- 24:05Speaker 1: Joe Hendry. They will not even give the man an
- 24:07Speaker 1: entrance when the entrance and his entrance song that he
- 24:11Speaker 1: sings is the biggest part of his act. They won't
- 24:15Speaker 1: even give that to him. His run so far in
- 24:19Speaker 1: the main roster has been severely underwhelming, so why should
- 24:25Speaker 1: this be any different. They killed them off tonight. They
- 24:26Speaker 1: killed them off from the moment they called him up
- 24:28Speaker 1: from NXT. We go backstage. Seth Rollins approached Angelo Dawkins
- 24:36Speaker 1: and he tells him, look, I stayed out of your
- 24:39Speaker 1: business on Saturday. I'm sorry, but you know I stayed away.
- 24:45Speaker 1: I know how it is to have to deal with
- 24:47Speaker 1: the vision and get screwed over by the vision. But
- 24:49Speaker 1: he said, Logan Paul out hurt, the vision is the
- 24:52Speaker 1: weakest they've ever been. This is my favorite, by the way,
- 24:55Speaker 1: my favorite part of this promo or any promo on
- 24:58Speaker 1: this show. So this is something that seth Rollins really said. Okay,
- 25:04Speaker 1: he told him. He goes with Logan out hurt. The
- 25:07Speaker 1: vision is the weakest that they have ever been, but.
- 25:10Speaker 2: They're also the most dangerous.
- 25:14Speaker 1: What I had to rewind it to go back to
- 25:19Speaker 1: listen to what he said. They're the weakest that they've
- 25:22Speaker 1: ever been, but they're the most dangerous. So in the
- 25:28Speaker 1: world of Seth Rollins, you know, he's fat, but he's
- 25:33Speaker 1: really thin. He's tall but he's very short. He's smart
- 25:39Speaker 1: but he's pretty fucking dumb. Up is down, left is right,
- 25:44Speaker 1: black is white. This is the world that seth Rollins
- 25:48Speaker 1: lives in. I have no fucking idea what he was
- 25:49Speaker 1: trying to say, here, let's the idea is that the
- 25:53Speaker 1: vision was desperate. But just from the perspective of the
- 25:57Speaker 1: numbers game, I would say, yes, this group is the
- 26:00Speaker 1: best that's ever been in No, they are not more
- 26:01Speaker 1: dangerous now than they have ever been. But this is
- 26:04Speaker 1: what he was trying to convince Angelo Dawkins of. He
- 26:07Speaker 1: wasn't making too much sense here, he said, but if
- 26:10Speaker 1: we come together, we can finally finish them off once
- 26:13Speaker 1: and for all. So Montes Fords showed up and he said,
- 26:18Speaker 1: nothing good happens when Seth is around again. He doesn't
- 26:21Speaker 1: like Seth Rollins. He's made that pretty clear. He's no
- 26:23Speaker 1: fan of Seth Rollins. He doesn't trust him, he doesn't
- 26:25Speaker 1: like him. So nothing good ever happens when Rowlins is around.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Rollins said, well, based on the lack of gold around
- 26:31Speaker 1: your waist coming out of Saturday, I would say that
- 26:34Speaker 1: nothing good ever happens when I'm not around. He goes, Look,
- 26:38Speaker 1: we don't have to be friends, we don't have to
- 26:40Speaker 1: like each other. We just need to work together. One
- 26:44Speaker 1: of them in this circle here has main evented WrestleMania
- 26:48Speaker 1: before and has been a multi time world champion and
- 26:51Speaker 1: it ain't Montes Ford. Ford said, yeah, well I never
- 26:54Speaker 1: stabbed my brother.
- 26:55Speaker 2: In the back.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Where are your brothers, by the way, and he suggests
- 27:00Speaker 1: that they have a match tonight and Seth liked the
- 27:01Speaker 1: sound of that. Dawkins just had this look on his face, like,
- 27:05Speaker 1: you know, he didn't want to be in the middle
- 27:07Speaker 1: of any of this. But they made that match official
- 27:10Speaker 1: for later in the show, and I'm like, hell, yeah, cool,
- 27:14Speaker 1: this is the match I've been waiting for. I don't
- 27:15Speaker 1: know why you wouldn't announce that in advance, but it's
- 27:18Speaker 1: not the way they do things. So that match was
- 27:20Speaker 1: coming up later on in the show. We had Raquel
- 27:24Speaker 1: Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. My god, the Judgment Day music
- 27:28Speaker 1: is so fucking terrible, dude, It is so fucking awful.
- 27:31Speaker 1: It does not fit them at all. It's such a
- 27:33Speaker 1: fucking just buzzkill whenever it comes on. I know they're heels,
- 27:38Speaker 1: but my god, it's just it's so bad. It might
- 27:44Speaker 1: work for someone or some group, this is not it.
- 27:49Speaker 1: But Raquel and Roxanne came out live. Morgan was in
- 27:52Speaker 1: their corner Dominic Mysterio as well. They took on Lyra
- 27:56Speaker 1: Valkyria and Bailey Live Morgan. Look, I get they're waiting
- 28:02Speaker 1: for Stephanie to come back. Could be any week now.
- 28:06Speaker 1: This woman won the World Heavyweight Championship of WrestleMania. Okay,
- 28:10Speaker 1: it has been six weeks. They have done nothing, nothing,
- 28:17Speaker 1: no little side quest, nothing. This is the most pointless
- 28:22Speaker 1: title reign that I have ever seen. It is a waste,
- 28:27Speaker 1: an absolute waste. And the thing is, when Stephanie comes back,
- 28:32Speaker 1: if we assume they're just killing time until they could
- 28:35Speaker 1: get her back, and they'll do a rematch, Live's gonna
- 28:37Speaker 1: win the rematch, and then what like even after she
- 28:41Speaker 1: beat Stephanie again, if we assume that's what's gonna happen,
- 28:44Speaker 1: I still don't have a sense of like what direction
- 28:46Speaker 1: they're gonna go in here. We know like there's gonna
- 28:48Speaker 1: be something that happens with Roxanne at some point, so
- 28:52Speaker 1: maybe it'll be Roxanne. I don't know why they dropped
- 28:54Speaker 1: the whole thing with Living and Raquel. They never explore
- 28:58Speaker 1: that any further, and there's nobody else. It's just it's
- 29:02Speaker 1: amazing to me. It is amazing to me how Live
- 29:05Speaker 1: Morgan was one of the more important figures on this
- 29:07Speaker 1: show because she was getting so much screen time, and
- 29:09Speaker 1: she was one of the bigger characters on the show,
- 29:12Speaker 1: and now she's more of a background player. And they
- 29:14Speaker 1: haven't even hinted at anything for her. You know, EO
- 29:19Speaker 1: Sky just got married. I assume that's probably that has
- 29:21Speaker 1: something to do with why she's been away. Maybe when
- 29:24Speaker 1: she comes back she'll be vaulted back into title contention.
- 29:27Speaker 1: But boy, this has just been I don't even know
- 29:31Speaker 1: how to explain this. They haven't even hinted at anything.
- 29:35Speaker 1: So she was manager for tonight. This match was a mess.
- 29:39Speaker 1: This tag team match was a mess. A lot of
- 29:41Speaker 1: sloppiness here, especially when Raquel and Lyra were working together.
- 29:46Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, you know, because I've seen
- 29:48Speaker 1: both of them have very good matches before, but this
- 29:52Speaker 1: was not it. They positioned themselves for Live Morgan at
- 29:56Speaker 1: one point to place Roxanne's foot on the bottom rope
- 29:59Speaker 1: for a break. Referee caught her though, and ejected Live
- 30:02Speaker 1: from ringside. Bailey tagged in, went for the top and
- 30:06Speaker 1: dom distracted the referee, which allowed Rodriguez to shove Bailey
- 30:10Speaker 1: off the top rope. Roxanne hit Bailey with pop rocks,
- 30:13Speaker 1: and Lyra was supposed to break up the pin, but
- 30:15Speaker 1: she was late and so Bailey had to kick out
- 30:17Speaker 1: of Roxanne's finish. So Raquel tried power bombing lyra out
- 30:22Speaker 1: of the ring. They both went tumbling out over the
- 30:24Speaker 1: top rope to the floor. Dom saw this as an
- 30:27Speaker 1: opportunity now to jump up on the apron and he
- 30:30Speaker 1: was distracting the referee, so Roxanne could use his triple
- 30:34Speaker 1: A Mega Championship. But the problem is Bailey grabbed it
- 30:37Speaker 1: at the same time and they were.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Having a tug of war over the belt.
- 30:41Speaker 1: Bailey knocked Roxane backwards, sending Dom off the apron because
- 30:45Speaker 1: she accidentally hit Dom with his belt, and Bailey rolled
- 30:49Speaker 1: up Perez for the wind.
- 30:50Speaker 2: This was a very ugly match. This was not good.
- 30:55Speaker 2: This was not good.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Roman Reigns and Adam Pierce, they were talking inside Roman's
- 31:01Speaker 1: locker room and Pierce said, look, Jacob fought too, should
- 31:04Speaker 1: not be employed here anymore, and Romans said, look, I
- 31:08Speaker 1: get it. He said that he didn't want to go
- 31:09Speaker 1: back to his old ways, but he had to show
- 31:12Speaker 1: the power and stroke that we have. Who's this we family? Yes,
- 31:20Speaker 1: we know this family wields a lot of influence here
- 31:22Speaker 1: in this company. If the bloodline suddenly went away, I
- 31:27Speaker 1: don't know what Triple H would do. Everything is built
- 31:29Speaker 1: around the bloodline. We have Timu bloodline on Friday, we
- 31:32Speaker 1: have the bloodline on Mondays. Jacob now has been brought
- 31:35Speaker 1: into the storyline. If the bloodline, just all aspects of
- 31:40Speaker 1: the blood line went away, what would the top storyline
- 31:44Speaker 1: be in this company?
- 31:46Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know the.
- 31:47Speaker 1: Triple H would know what to do. He'd be totally lost. Remember,
- 31:50Speaker 1: he inherited the bloodline story. He didn't start it. That
- 31:52Speaker 1: started under Vince. He didn't create it. He inherited it
- 31:57Speaker 1: at its peak. If it suddenly went away, all the
- 32:00Speaker 1: players went away, they got injured, they retired, they got
- 32:04Speaker 1: lost on the way to the arena.
- 32:05Speaker 2: What would he do? I don't know. I don't know
- 32:08Speaker 2: what he would do.
- 32:09Speaker 1: I guess the judgment they would become the de facto
- 32:11Speaker 1: top heel faction I guess on the show. And I
- 32:15Speaker 1: don't know. I guess they are the top heel faction
- 32:18Speaker 1: of the show. I mean, can we even count the
- 32:20Speaker 1: vision anymore? I mean, they're all fucking hurt. Anyway, Rain
- 32:25Speaker 1: said that he didn't know what fatu uh or he
- 32:28Speaker 1: didn't even know that Fatu knew about tribal combat. He
- 32:31Speaker 1: said he can't ever back down. He said there must
- 32:34Speaker 1: be consequences in the contract. He said that if Fatu loses,
- 32:37Speaker 1: he would serve him or he would be out of
- 32:39Speaker 1: the company. And Raid said that if Fatu beat him,
- 32:43Speaker 1: then good luck, because we're all screwed. La Knight was
- 32:50Speaker 1: on his way to the ring next. He said, this
- 32:53Speaker 1: was the first time he's been in the ring since WrestleMania.
- 32:55Speaker 1: How sad that really is?
- 32:57Speaker 2: Right?
- 32:58Speaker 1: He said, the King and Queen of the Ring ornaments
- 33:00Speaker 1: are going to start next week on Raw, and he's
- 33:02Speaker 1: throwing his name in the hat. I assume for King
- 33:05Speaker 1: of the Ring and not Queen of the Ring. He
- 33:08Speaker 1: said that if he wins, that's funny. That's pretty fucking funny.
- 33:13Speaker 2: You gotta admit.
- 33:15Speaker 1: If he wins, he gets a title shot, and he's
- 33:17Speaker 1: going to be aiming for Roman reigns. He wondered where
- 33:21Speaker 1: that would leave the USOS. He called Roman the most
- 33:24Speaker 1: corrupt champion in the history of WWA. He said that
- 33:28Speaker 1: he's trying to stir up the old bloodline and Jimmy
- 33:31Speaker 1: and j were a little different than the guys that
- 33:33Speaker 1: he knew.
- 33:35Speaker 2: You know what's said.
- 33:36Speaker 1: I think if La Knight actually did jump into the
- 33:38Speaker 1: Queen of the Ring, he wouldn't win that either. He
- 33:42Speaker 1: ain't winning King of the Ring. I don't think he'd
- 33:43Speaker 1: win Queen of the Ring either. Jimmy USO came out.
- 33:48Speaker 1: He joined La Knight in the ring and he said, look,
- 33:51Speaker 1: it's not like things were during the Bloodline days. He
- 33:54Speaker 1: said Knight would get a fair shot at the championship
- 33:57Speaker 1: if he won King of the Ring, and Knight said
- 34:01Speaker 1: that word fair is very interesting. He asked Jimmy if
- 34:04Speaker 1: he was being honest with him, honest with himself when
- 34:06Speaker 1: he says that. He said Jimmy was coming out as
- 34:09Speaker 1: a messenger the third Wheel. He said that he didn't
- 34:12Speaker 1: want to see Jimmy become Roman's errand boy again. He
- 34:16Speaker 1: said he intended respect, but Jimmy should take it as
- 34:18Speaker 1: a warning, and Jimmy cut him off and told him
- 34:21Speaker 1: that this was Knight's warning shot. He said Knight was
- 34:24Speaker 1: lucky that Jay wasn't there. They wouldn't be talking. Yeah,
- 34:27Speaker 1: there were a bunch of people missing from tonight's show.
- 34:31Speaker 1: Jay wasn't there, bron Breaker wasn't there, Brock, but I
- 34:34Speaker 1: mean I wasn't really expecting Brock to be there. Who
- 34:38Speaker 1: else was missing tonight? I feel like there were a
- 34:40Speaker 1: couple of others that may have been missing from the show.
- 34:43Speaker 1: But yeah, Breaker wasn't there, and Jay Usso wasn't there.
- 34:48Speaker 1: So Knight said that Jimmy was proving his point and
- 34:50Speaker 1: he assumed that Roman would join them. It would be
- 34:53Speaker 1: a three on one attack if Jay was here, just
- 34:56Speaker 1: like he did to Jacob faugh too, and Jimmy got
- 34:58Speaker 1: really angry. He said, don't mention FA two. That's family business.
- 35:01Speaker 1: And he told Knight tread lightly because if you keep
- 35:04Speaker 1: insulting the otc our family will become your business. And
- 35:10Speaker 1: Knight said, even the talent are tired of this show.
- 35:17Speaker 1: Knight stopped Jimmy from leaving when he went to go exit,
- 35:20Speaker 1: and he said, you're the one that I like. He
- 35:23Speaker 1: said that he thinks Jimmy likes him and he's okay
- 35:26Speaker 1: with Jay, but he doesn't like Roman. And Knight said
- 35:28Speaker 1: that Roman needed Paul Hayman, he needed the USOS because
- 35:31Speaker 1: he can't get the job done all by himself, which
- 35:34Speaker 1: I don't know about that line, considering we're coming off
- 35:36Speaker 1: of WrestleMania, where you know, Roman won the championship from
- 35:41Speaker 1: Cmpunk by himself. I'm just saying the timing of that
- 35:46Speaker 1: line may not be the best. Knight said that if
- 35:49Speaker 1: their business becomes family business, then he'll make sure they
- 35:52Speaker 1: go out of business, and he told Jimmy, you deliver
- 35:56Speaker 1: that message to Roman. So, like, I mean, on the
- 36:01Speaker 1: one hand, it's nice to see Jimmy, I guess, getting
- 36:03Speaker 1: some promo time by himself, you know, kind of away
- 36:06Speaker 1: from his brother. His brother was the one who got
- 36:08Speaker 1: the big push. His brother was the one that got
- 36:10Speaker 1: pushed to the World Heavyweight Championship. Jimmy was kind of
- 36:13Speaker 1: in the background for all of it. And Jimmy is
- 36:16Speaker 1: actually a better promo than his brother is. So you know,
- 36:19Speaker 1: it's nice to see him in situations like this. I
- 36:21Speaker 1: thought he was fine, But just the bloodline stuff in general, again, I'm.
- 36:25Speaker 2: Just fatigued by it.
- 36:28Speaker 1: You know, I don't find any of it to be
- 36:29Speaker 1: terribly interesting or exciting. It's all the same shit. So
- 36:33Speaker 1: I mentioned with Jacob, like, at least if Jacob were
- 36:35Speaker 1: to win the title, it would be sort of I mean,
- 36:39Speaker 1: it seems like it would be something different. Maybe it
- 36:41Speaker 1: wouldn't be radically different, but it would be something different, right.
- 36:44Speaker 1: It would be a way to freshen things up a
- 36:46Speaker 1: little bit. This stuff here, I don't know where it's going.
- 36:50Speaker 1: I don't know where it's leading in terms of La
- 36:51Speaker 1: Knight's involvement. I can't imagine La Knight wrestling for the
- 36:55Speaker 1: World Championship anytime soon.
- 36:56Speaker 2: But and I know the La Knight fan are not
- 37:00Speaker 2: going to want to hear that.
- 37:01Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, I'm right. We've been given
- 37:03Speaker 1: no reason to believe that La Knight is going to
- 37:06Speaker 1: be in that mix. So I'm not quite sure what
- 37:09Speaker 1: this is leading to. Otherwise, kind of a dull segment,
- 37:16Speaker 1: kind of a boring segment.
- 37:17Speaker 2: Otherwise.
- 37:18Speaker 1: This week's episode is sponsored by wis. Have you ever
- 37:22Speaker 1: heard of vibe coding before? Because I hadn't until recently.
- 37:25Speaker 1: But it's exactly as it sounds. You're looking for a
- 37:28Speaker 1: certain vibe and you code your website to fit that vibe.
- 37:31Speaker 1: You can picture it in your head exactly what you
- 37:34Speaker 1: want it to look like, and then make it a reality.
- 37:36Speaker 1: And the way you do that is with Wicks's new
- 37:39Speaker 1: Harmony editor. It's pretty amazing. All you do is type
- 37:42Speaker 1: in what it is that you want, and through the
- 37:44Speaker 1: power of AI, you'll get a website that mirrors exactly
- 37:48Speaker 1: what you're looking for and works right out of the gate.
- 37:51Speaker 1: But Wick's Harmony doesn't force you to use AI for everything.
- 37:54Speaker 1: You can still click and change whatever you want all
- 37:57Speaker 1: on your own, or click on something and then ask Aria,
- 38:01Speaker 1: your own personal AI agent, to change it for you.
- 38:04Speaker 1: It also solves the very annoying problem of having to
- 38:07Speaker 1: prompt AI over and over again, even for the smallest changes.
- 38:11Speaker 1: This is much more efficient and it saves you a
- 38:13Speaker 1: lot of time and aggravation. So do yourself a favor,
- 38:17Speaker 1: save yourself the stress and join the millions of businesses
- 38:20Speaker 1: that already use Wix for their website needs. Try wix

- 38:32Speaker 1: Raymisterio they were talking backstage when Ethan Paige showed up.
- 38:36Speaker 1: He was unsuccessful in his bid to win the Intercontinental
- 38:38Speaker 1: title on Saturday, and he asked, what's going on here.
- 38:42Speaker 1: Page said that Pierce gifted Javon Evans a title match,
- 38:48Speaker 1: and Pierce said the rematches have to be earned. So
- 38:52Speaker 1: rucep showed it, so basically Paige was here. He was
- 38:54Speaker 1: kind of advocating for his own rematch. But then Rusev
- 38:58Speaker 1: showed up, and Rusev wanted to know what's going on here,
- 39:03Speaker 1: and Page said, Pierce and Ray were conspiring against you
- 39:06Speaker 1: by giving your title shot to Ray, misterio. And Russev
- 39:11Speaker 1: was not happy about this. So Ray said, look, because
- 39:14Speaker 1: Pierce is like, no, no, no, no no, we're about
- 39:16Speaker 1: earning title shots here, and Ray was like, so I
- 39:18Speaker 1: have to beat Rusev in order to earn a shot
- 39:20Speaker 1: at the Intercontinental title game on let's do it, And
- 39:24Speaker 1: so Pierce made the match official between Ray and Russev
- 39:27Speaker 1: for later on in the show. I love Ethan Page
- 39:30Speaker 1: playing instigator and just stirring things up. I will point
- 39:35Speaker 1: out though at this point in the show we were
- 39:37Speaker 1: more than halfway in. We had only had two matches
- 39:39Speaker 1: on the entire show, No bueno.
- 39:44Speaker 2: At least.
- 39:44Speaker 1: One of those matches was Pente against Javon Evans, which
- 39:47Speaker 1: was a fucking great match, but still two matches in
- 39:50Speaker 1: whatever it was ninety five minutes not good. Thankfully, up
- 39:56Speaker 1: next we had something that was good. We had seth
- 39:59Speaker 1: Rollin going one on one against Montese Ford, Rollins hit
- 40:04Speaker 1: the superplex into a falcon arrow for an ear fall.
- 40:07Speaker 1: There was a pedigree in there only for a two count.
- 40:10Speaker 1: With fod down. Rolins tried to talk some sense into
- 40:13Speaker 1: him because he was kind of struggling to his knees.
- 40:17Speaker 1: Was Ford, and Rollins is just looking at him, and
- 40:19Speaker 1: he's telling him, you know, I'm I'm, I'm trying to change, right,
- 40:23Speaker 1: He's going to be a change man.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Ford just looked up and smacked the shit out of him.
- 40:28Speaker 1: So Rollins hit one buckle bomb, then he hit a
- 40:31Speaker 1: second buckle bomb. He went for a third one. Ford, though,
- 40:35Speaker 1: countered out and sent him out to the floor, and
- 40:37Speaker 1: then he followed with his big running dive out over
- 40:39Speaker 1: the ring post and he got him back inside. He
- 40:43Speaker 1: went to the heavens for the frog splash. The height
- 40:45Speaker 1: that he gets on this will never not impress me.
- 40:48Speaker 1: And he comes crashing down on Rollins only for a
- 40:51Speaker 1: near fall. So Ford went for a four to fifty splash.
- 40:54Speaker 1: Rollins moved out of the way and he hit a
- 40:56Speaker 1: curb stomp and he basically, you know, out of being
- 40:59Speaker 1: so tired, he fell onto Ford and he pinned him
- 41:02Speaker 1: to win the match. After it was over, Angelo Dawkins,
- 41:06Speaker 1: he suddenly appeared on stage, but sowd at Austin Theory
- 41:09Speaker 1: with a chair and he assaulted him with a chair.
- 41:13Speaker 1: He basically killed him. He left him for dead. Officials
- 41:15Speaker 1: came out to get him out of there. Adam pears
- 41:17Speaker 1: he was yelling at Theory. This was a good match.
- 41:20Speaker 1: It was not the best match on the show. Pent
- 41:22Speaker 1: and Javon was better than this one, but it was
- 41:24Speaker 1: still a good match. I gotta I gotta give pent
- 41:28Speaker 1: and Javon credit for that match. If you would have
- 41:29Speaker 1: told me that we were going to get a seth
- 41:31Speaker 1: Rollins montes Ford match on the show and it would
- 41:34Speaker 1: be usurped by something else, I would find that surprising.
- 41:38Speaker 2: But that's what happened tonight. But still good stuff.
- 41:42Speaker 1: They had to get it out of their system right
- 41:44Speaker 1: so they could get back on the same page together.
- 41:48Speaker 1: On that note, speaking of which, backstage, Ford wanted an
- 41:52Speaker 1: update on his partner after the break from Adam Pearce,
- 41:55Speaker 1: who said that he was being work done. And I
- 41:57Speaker 1: love this. I love this verbiage by the way, where
- 41:59Speaker 1: it's like I need to know what's going on with
- 42:02Speaker 1: my brother. How's my brother doing? And Adam Pearce is
- 42:05Speaker 1: like he's being worked on, Like he had a fucking
- 42:08Speaker 1: heart attack and they're trying to restart his heart. They
- 42:10Speaker 1: got the shock paddles and everything. We're doing our best.
- 42:14Speaker 1: They're working on him. What are they doing in there?
- 42:18Speaker 1: What are they doing in there?
- 42:20Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 42:21Speaker 1: They never explained that. It's all very nebulous, see unconscious.
- 42:28Speaker 1: So Rollin showed up and yeah, he too was concerned
- 42:31Speaker 1: about Dawkins. Ford finally agreed with Rollins. He goes, you know,
- 42:35Speaker 1: there's bigger fish to fry. His brother was down and
- 42:40Speaker 1: he needed them, both of them. So Rollins and Ford
- 42:45Speaker 1: they kind of nodded at each other. Ford went into
- 42:48Speaker 1: the trainer's room to go check on Dawkins, make sure
- 42:50Speaker 1: he was alive. Rollins told Pierce, look, this has to end.
- 42:54Speaker 1: I want bron Breaker the earliest possible date. See, I
- 43:00Speaker 1: assume it's not happening in Italy.
- 43:02Speaker 2: Here.
- 43:02Speaker 1: You would have just said, given to me the Sunday
- 43:03Speaker 1: clash in Italy. But I think we already have five
- 43:06Speaker 1: matches on the show. I think that's the limit, that's
- 43:09Speaker 1: the quota. We can't go beyond that, so at the
- 43:12Speaker 1: earliest possible convenience, we will get seth rollins against bron Breaker. Yes,
- 43:18Speaker 1: the theory concerto. So when he took the chair to
- 43:21Speaker 1: Dawkins on the ground, he basically gave him like a
- 43:23Speaker 1: one man concerto, or at least that was that was
- 43:28Speaker 1: the idea anyway, And the camera angle did not do
- 43:32Speaker 1: them any favors.
- 43:33Speaker 2: It did not look great.
- 43:38Speaker 1: Yes, so apparently they're working on Angelo Dawkins. It's such
- 43:41Speaker 1: a serious situation for a chair shot that did not
- 43:44Speaker 1: even connect. See in a situation like that, that's really
- 43:50Speaker 1: on the production team, right, I mean, you just sometimes
- 43:55Speaker 1: things happen. But obviously he's not going to take a
- 43:58Speaker 1: chair to the man's fucking head, So it's on them
- 44:00Speaker 1: to film it in such a way that makes it
- 44:02Speaker 1: look as good as possible. And sometimes you get a
- 44:06Speaker 1: shot like that and they just expose it and it's
- 44:09Speaker 1: just awful.
- 44:11Speaker 2: We go backstage.
- 44:12Speaker 1: Kathy Kelly is interviewing Becky Lynch and Kathy said that
- 44:15Speaker 1: soul Ruka was out with injuries tonight. It seemed like
- 44:18Speaker 1: Becky had the advantage heading into their match on Sunday.
- 44:22Speaker 1: Becky said that some people got punched in the face
- 44:24Speaker 1: and became the face of the industry. Others got punched
- 44:27Speaker 1: in the face and they got a wake up call
- 44:29Speaker 1: that they were in over their heads. Some people might
- 44:32Speaker 1: be impressed with her tricks and flips, but she wasn't
- 44:35Speaker 1: and she hasn't picked up a single pinfall when since
- 44:38Speaker 1: her debut. Ruca's name was written in sand, but the
- 44:41Speaker 1: tide was coming in. Becky's name was etched in stone
- 44:45Speaker 1: and would be around forever, and there was a difference
- 44:48Speaker 1: between striving for greatness and standing across from it welcome
- 44:52Speaker 1: to the big time. I don't know if she's really
- 44:56Speaker 1: injured or not. You know, there were rumors on social
- 44:59Speaker 1: media yesterday or the day before, I think yesterday that
- 45:04Speaker 1: and it wasn't from what I would consider a reputable source.
- 45:07Speaker 1: It was some Twitter account, but it mentioned that Logan
- 45:11Speaker 1: Paul was said to be injured and sol Ruka was
- 45:14Speaker 1: said to be injured. But it said like Logan's injury
- 45:17Speaker 1: was believed to be like a leg injury and it
- 45:19Speaker 1: turned out to be an arm injury, right, But he
- 45:21Speaker 1: is hurt, so I don't know if that's legit, and
- 45:25Speaker 1: sol Ruka is banged up coming out of Saturday night's
- 45:27Speaker 1: main event, and they announced the match anyway under the
- 45:30Speaker 1: assumption that she'll be medically cleared in time for this weekend,
- 45:33Speaker 1: or if it's all just a storyline. Hopefully she's not hurt.
- 45:38Speaker 1: I would think that after that horrible finish on Saturday,
- 45:41Speaker 1: hopefully the only thing that is hurt is her ego
- 45:44Speaker 1: and not any part of her body. We had Raymisterio
- 45:49Speaker 1: against Russev. Ethan Page joined on commentary. After a break,
- 45:54Speaker 1: Ray got placed on the top rope. Russev went for
- 45:57Speaker 1: a superplex. Ray blocked it and he hit the seat
- 46:00Speaker 1: it sent on.
- 46:01Speaker 2: Ray hit a bulldog.
- 46:02Speaker 1: He got caught though on a crossbody and slammed down,
- 46:07Speaker 1: so Ray ended up getting him in position for a
- 46:09Speaker 1: six to one nine. Russev, though, caught the legs on
- 46:11Speaker 1: the way in and then went for the accolade. Ray
- 46:15Speaker 1: slid underneath him and school boyed him and he got
- 46:17Speaker 1: the flash pin to win the match, so Rusev stomped
- 46:20Speaker 1: on him until Dragon Lee's music kiss. This is after
- 46:23Speaker 1: the match. Now Ethan Page runs in. He really wasn't
- 46:27Speaker 1: much help, so Page got supplexed around, he got kicked.
- 46:31Speaker 1: Dragon Lee did a dive out over the top rope
- 46:33Speaker 1: onto him. Ray hit the six one nine on Russev
- 46:36Speaker 1: and then Dragonlye followed with Operation Dragon. But with that
- 46:40Speaker 1: way Raymistereo, I guess now is the number one contender
- 46:44Speaker 1: for the Intercontinental Championship. So we'll see when we actually
- 46:47Speaker 1: get that match. Backstage, Adam Pierce tells Austin Theory to
- 46:51Speaker 1: go home. Your night is done, and Paul Hayman steps
- 46:55Speaker 1: in and goes, I'll take care of it. I'll escort
- 46:58Speaker 1: him out of here. So he goes to escort Theory away,
- 47:01Speaker 1: and they walked by the Alpha Academy. So we got Otis,
- 47:06Speaker 1: we got Tozawa, we got Maxine Dupre. Maxine's making making
- 47:10Speaker 1: the googly eyes for Austin Theory, and Austin Theory is
- 47:13Speaker 1: looking back at Maxine. And I've pointed out like in
- 47:17Speaker 1: several backstage segments over the last few months, we have
- 47:20Speaker 1: seen Maxine either speaking with Theory and the Vision in
- 47:24Speaker 1: the back or that one week, a couple of weeks ago,
- 47:27Speaker 1: they were leaving the building and they opened the door
- 47:30Speaker 1: to their suv and Maxine was already sitting in the
- 47:32Speaker 1: suv in the passenger seat, scrolling on her phone. So
- 47:36Speaker 1: they've been teasing and hinting that there's something going on
- 47:39Speaker 1: here between these two. This was like the most overt
- 47:42Speaker 1: expression of it so far here on this show. And
- 47:46Speaker 1: Theory walks off, and Otis says, I don't know. It
- 47:50Speaker 1: smells like bad news. And Maxine says, now, he's just
- 47:54Speaker 1: in a bad mood, and she walks off and Otis
- 47:57Speaker 1: and Tozawa. They don't quite know what to make of this.
- 48:02Speaker 1: So look, if I had any advice for Maxine Dupree,
- 48:06Speaker 1: given the visions track record when it comes to injuries,
- 48:10Speaker 1: I would stay far far away from these people.
- 48:13Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to join the Vision. This group is cursed.
- 48:16Speaker 1: As soon as she joins, I give it a month,
- 48:18Speaker 1: she's going to be on the shelf with an injury
- 48:20Speaker 1: for six to nine months. Stay away, stay far far
- 48:25Speaker 1: away from the Vision. They're bad for your health. They
- 48:30Speaker 1: closed the show at the contract signing. Yes, another one
- 48:35Speaker 1: between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu. This was for tribal
- 48:38Speaker 1: combat and clash in Italy. Adam Pierce was already in
- 48:42Speaker 1: the ring, so Jacob fat Tu was out to the ring. First,
- 48:46Speaker 1: he ditched all the furniture, he took the office chairs.
- 48:49Speaker 1: He chucked them out right right where security was gathered outside.
- 48:53Speaker 1: These are heavy fucking chairs, and he's throwing them outside
- 48:55Speaker 1: like they're nothing. He throws the table outside the ring.
- 49:00Speaker 1: Roman Rains was out to the ring next, and he
- 49:02Speaker 1: immediately signed the contract. Jacob had already signed the contract,
- 49:07Speaker 1: and then Roman signed the contract, so effectively, the contract
- 49:10Speaker 1: signing was now done, and the crowd is serenading Roman
- 49:16Speaker 1: with chance of happy birthday? Is today his birth I
- 49:19Speaker 1: believe today may be Roman's birthday. Let's see how old
- 49:24Speaker 1: Roman Reigns is. I'm curious, Roman, Roman rais Roman, Roman Rains,
- 49:34Speaker 1: Roman Reigns is, in fact, forty one years old as
- 49:37Speaker 1: of today. How about that Happy birthday to the tribal chief.
- 49:44Speaker 1: So they were singing to him, and we've got security
- 49:49Speaker 1: geeks that are standing in the ring in between these
- 49:51Speaker 1: two men, to keep them apart. Roman says, leave us,
- 49:56Speaker 1: and Adam Pierce questions, sure that's a good idea, and
- 50:01Speaker 1: he says, Jacob signed the contract. He made a blood oath.
- 50:07Speaker 1: They can't touch each other until Italy. So Pierced and
- 50:12Speaker 1: his crew of useless men they leave them alone in
- 50:14Speaker 1: the ring together and Roman says, all Jacob had to do.
- 50:21Speaker 1: All Jacob had to do was acknowledge him after backlash,
- 50:25Speaker 1: and they could have moved on to the next mission.
- 50:28Speaker 1: And Jacob says, acknowledge you like everybody else in here
- 50:32Speaker 1: goes hell, nah, he's not like everybody else. Oh you
- 50:37Speaker 1: know that was a song by The Kinks. They played
- 50:41Speaker 1: that at the end of one of the episodes of
- 50:42Speaker 1: The Sopranos when Tony is being a dick to his
- 50:47Speaker 1: sister about her son. Once upon a time, he was
- 50:51Speaker 1: a real asshole, and they played that song as he
- 50:54Speaker 1: left their house and he was walking down the block.
- 50:56Speaker 1: That was one of the better endings actually to the
- 50:58Speaker 1: Sopranos episode, because I'm not like everybody else. Oh no,
- 51:07Speaker 1: I'm not like everybody else. So yeah, he goes, I'm
- 51:13Speaker 1: not like everybody else, but let's keep it real. Roman
- 51:17Speaker 1: is the reason why their family is living the life
- 51:19Speaker 1: that they have. Roman is the reason why their family
- 51:21Speaker 1: is on top of the mountain. He took the whole
- 51:24Speaker 1: family to the Promised Land, but he can only take
- 51:26Speaker 1: them so far. It's time for a change, it's time
- 51:30Speaker 1: for another destination. So when he talks about acknowledging him,
- 51:34Speaker 1: let me ask you something. At Backlash, did Roman live
- 51:37Speaker 1: by the code of the bloodline or did he bend
- 51:39Speaker 1: the rules so that he could beat him? Because he
- 51:44Speaker 1: gets it, Roman had to do what he had to
- 51:47Speaker 1: do by any means necessary. I guess he's talking about
- 51:49Speaker 1: the exposed turnbuckle in that match of Backlash. But at
- 51:54Speaker 1: Tribal Combat, he says, everything and anything goes so, just
- 51:58Speaker 1: like a backlash, a clash in Italy, he's about to
- 52:01Speaker 1: dogwalk his bitch ass. And when he's done taking this,
- 52:06Speaker 1: everybody's gonna have consequence taking the world heavyweight championship. That is,
- 52:11Speaker 1: everybody is gonna have consequences. So Roman says he's a
- 52:15Speaker 1: man of his word. If Jacob beats him a clash
- 52:17Speaker 1: in Italy, Jacob becomes the leader, he becomes the shot caller.
- 52:21Speaker 1: But if he can't dogwalk him, it looks like Jacob
- 52:24Speaker 1: is going to be domesticated. If he can't beat Roman,
- 52:27Speaker 1: he will serve him, and he will learn from him,
- 52:29Speaker 1: and in time he will learn to love his tribal chief.
- 52:34Speaker 1: So Fatsu said, Okay, well, looks like a win for me.
- 52:37Speaker 2: Then.
- 52:38Speaker 1: So if Roman does dogwalk his ass, hey, it looks
- 52:41Speaker 1: like he's still got a job here.
- 52:43Speaker 2: Ain't nothing gonna change.
- 52:45Speaker 1: But not if but when he dog walks Roman's ass, everybody,
- 52:50Speaker 1: especially Roman will learn how to acknowledge him. And Jacob
- 52:55Speaker 1: offered his hand, Roman accepted it. They each bow their
- 52:58Speaker 1: heads forehead to forehead, which technically is physical contacts or
- 53:02Speaker 1: the match should be off. The blood oath has been violated,
- 53:05Speaker 1: but we'll ignore that and the show goes off the air. See,
- 53:09Speaker 1: stipulations don't really mean anything. Like we had a contract
- 53:12Speaker 1: I believe between Elgrande Americano Gable and Elgrande Americano Kaiser
- 53:17Speaker 1: that I believe was no physicality, and then on this
- 53:21Speaker 1: last Triple A show, they got physical and Raymisterio, the
- 53:25Speaker 1: new general manager, basically ignored it and said the match
- 53:28Speaker 1: is still going to happen. Like the no physicality stuff
- 53:32Speaker 1: always makes me laugh because it's like, if you're the
- 53:33Speaker 1: general manager or you're the president, right, you're running the
- 53:36Speaker 1: show where you're running the company, you have this big
- 53:39Speaker 1: marquee match and you're building an entire pay per view
- 53:42Speaker 1: or big event around it, right, and there was a
- 53:45Speaker 1: no physicality rule and they violated, And the idea is that, well,
- 53:49Speaker 1: if you violated the matches off, Like, if you're the GM,
- 53:52Speaker 1: are you really going to cancel that match? Come on,
- 53:56Speaker 1: it's got no teeth. Nobody believes it because it wouldn't
- 54:00Speaker 1: make any sense why you would cancel such a big match,
- 54:04Speaker 1: So that stipulation always makes me laugh. Look the segment,
- 54:09Speaker 1: it was kind of boring. I mean, it was very
- 54:12Speaker 1: paint by number stuff. You know, they played their part.
- 54:15Speaker 1: It was the last bit of hype for what I
- 54:19Speaker 1: presume is going to be the main event on Sunday.
- 54:21Speaker 1: It's either going to open the show or it's going
- 54:23Speaker 1: to close the show. But since it's got the tribal
- 54:24Speaker 1: combat stipulation, I would imagine they want to close with it.
- 54:28Speaker 1: I guess it depends on whether or not there's a
- 54:30Speaker 1: title change in which title match. Is there a title change,
- 54:33Speaker 1: if any, We'll see what closes the show. My guess
- 54:36Speaker 1: is it's going to be tribal combat. They've done everything
- 54:40Speaker 1: they can do. You know, they've done a good job
- 54:42Speaker 1: of creating this sense of Jacob just being this wild,
- 54:45Speaker 1: unstoppable monster right when he's on the show and there's
- 54:49Speaker 1: no telling what he's going to do, and he's just
- 54:51Speaker 1: he's just gone completely wild. He's been beating up security
- 54:54Speaker 1: guards and officials. He's throwing furniture, and he's killing people
- 54:57Speaker 1: with this tongue in death gra in all of this stuff.
- 55:02Speaker 1: So they've done a good job with that. The match
- 55:05Speaker 1: of Backlash was very good. I'm sure the match on
- 55:08Speaker 1: Sunday is going.
- 55:09Speaker 2: To be very good.
- 55:10Speaker 1: And when Roman wins, nothing really changes, nothing appreciably changes.
- 55:14Speaker 1: If Jacob wins, things are going to change. If Roman
- 55:19Speaker 1: becomes the de facto number two, even if just for
- 55:22Speaker 1: a little bit of time, it would be interesting to see,
- 55:25Speaker 1: like how the character.
- 55:26Speaker 2: Reacts to that.
- 55:27Speaker 1: You know, are they going to build to a third
- 55:29Speaker 1: match and Roman just gets his win back, or do
- 55:32Speaker 1: they really kind of strap the rocket to Jacob and
- 55:34Speaker 1: put him in a leadership position and let him run
- 55:37Speaker 1: as the top guy on Monday Night Raw. It's hard
- 55:39Speaker 1: for me to envision even if he wins the championship,
- 55:41Speaker 1: but he's going to be the one going into a
- 55:43Speaker 1: big show like SummerSlam in August as the defending world
- 55:46Speaker 1: heavyweight champion, and Roman would not be involved in that
- 55:50Speaker 1: in some way. And this is one of the reasons
- 55:53Speaker 1: why I think the belt is staying with Roman. You know,
- 55:55Speaker 1: when I look ahead. Roman is back for the summer.
- 55:58Speaker 1: He made that very clear after Wrestle Matie. He goes,
- 56:01Speaker 1: you got me for the summer. I take that to
- 56:04Speaker 1: mean Summer Slam, even though Summer Slim is not at
- 56:06Speaker 1: the end of the summer, but Summer Slam, literally, I think,
- 56:09Speaker 1: is the first two days of August. Let's assume we
- 56:13Speaker 1: have Roman at least through.
- 56:14Speaker 2: The beginning of August.
- 56:16Speaker 1: I can't imagine Roman being in anything on that card
- 56:19Speaker 1: other than one of the two main events, like he's
- 56:23Speaker 1: going to be the World heavyweight champion, most likely leading
- 56:26Speaker 1: into SummerSlam. It's just hard for me to imagine them
- 56:30Speaker 1: wanting to take the belt off of him, even though
- 56:32Speaker 1: it really would be the right thing to do. But
- 56:35Speaker 1: you know, as far as the rest of the show goes,
- 56:37Speaker 1: like I said at the beginning, it was fine. Not
- 56:40Speaker 1: the most exciting show in the world. They did a
- 56:42Speaker 1: decent amount of hype. I think for the key matches,
- 56:45Speaker 1: we got a couple of really good matches on the show.
- 56:48Speaker 1: Not enough wrestling, But that's short of the story of
- 56:51Speaker 1: Monday Night Raw. And that's your raw review here for
- 56:55Speaker 1: Memorial Day an hour on the Dot. Look at that
- 56:59Speaker 1: very economical, very economical. Again, the likes goal per the
- 57:05Speaker 1: wheel was four fifty. We're currently at four thirty seven,
- 57:10Speaker 1: so we're getting very very close, very close.
- 57:17Speaker 2: To the goal to get those likes up. Yeah.
- 57:27Speaker 1: Roman was like, all right, fine, I've heard all the
- 57:29Speaker 1: jokes about me not being full time. You'll get me
- 57:31Speaker 1: full time for four months just to shut everybody up. Hey,
- 57:42Speaker 1: Joseph Stewart, Happy Memorial Day to you. Two funny I
- 57:46Speaker 1: mentioned The Sopranos before, he said, did you know The
- 57:48Speaker 1: Sopranos was originally supposed to be a movie before it
- 57:51Speaker 1: became a TV show. Well, I'm very happy it became
- 57:53Speaker 1: a TV show because it became the greatest TV show
- 57:56Speaker 1: ever made. What's my favorite episode and moment from the
- 58:03Speaker 1: Surprise of the Pine Barons. It's gotta be the Pine
- 58:07Speaker 1: Barons episode. Happy Birthday to Roman Reigns and Bo Dallas.
- 58:15Speaker 2: That's right.
- 58:15Speaker 1: I knew it was somebody else's birthday today. I couldn't
- 58:18Speaker 1: remember who Bo Dallas and Frank Oz. He says, Happy
- 58:24Speaker 1: forty ninth anniversary to Star Wars A New Hope on
- 58:29Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven, another movie I've never seen. Happy forty
- 58:34Speaker 1: third anniversary, to the Return of the Jedi was released
- 58:37Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty three. Oh Man, Back to the Future
- 58:44Speaker 1: Part three. Boy, A lot of movies were released on
- 58:46Speaker 1: this day, thirty sixth anniversary, the worst of all the
- 58:52Speaker 1: Back to the Future movies. Not a bad movie, but
- 58:54Speaker 1: it was my least favorite of the three. Wishing also
- 59:00Speaker 1: a happy birthday to sir Ian McClellan. Star Wars and
- 59:03Speaker 1: Back to the Future are my top two favorite movie
- 59:06Speaker 1: franchises of all time.
- 59:10Speaker 2: Back to the Future is a favorite of mine as well.
- 59:15Speaker 1: Do you remember when Stone Cold gave Santino Morella a
- 59:19Speaker 1: stunner and sprayed him and Maria with the beer truck?
- 59:27Speaker 1: Not only do I remember that, believe it or not?
- 59:30Speaker 1: A little inside baseball here, that episode of Raw aired
- 59:36Speaker 1: one day before I recorded the very first episode of
- 59:40Speaker 1: the SoundOff. If you can believe it, that episode of
- 59:43Speaker 1: Raw was November fifth, two thousand and seven. And the
- 59:47Speaker 1: reason I remember that is because I recorded the first
- 59:50Speaker 1: sound off on November.
- 59:51Speaker 2: Sixth, two thousand and seven.
- 59:56Speaker 1: This November is going to be nineteen years since I
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: recorded the first SoundOff. Eh, time just goes on, buy,
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: doesn't it.
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: Anyway? Thank you? Joseph appreciate the support.
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: We got the boss Moo Jackson checking in tonight to
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: give you a shout out.
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: Brother Pentep put on the best match in WWE with
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: Javon Evans. I agree, he says. Also, the Vision is
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: Broken Mandalorian and Grogu was great.
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: You should check it out.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not really a Star Wars guy, though, I
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: got enough movies on my play. I got tickets already
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: to the back rooms looking forward to that, and he
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: says bre Bella's theme song sucks. I hate it tremendously. Well,
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: then you're not gonna like it the next time somebody
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: unlocks bre mode. You're on one of these streams. Electric
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: Feel raw is, which means naptime is over. Good morning everyone,
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: Good morning Electric Feel the sheltered Kid. I'm obsessed with
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: the new movie Obsession. Fucking fire. It's the best movie
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: I've seen all year. It's uh, it's great. It's just
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: a great, fun, disturbing movie. Very well done. Winston says,
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: I saw Send Help and Obsession recently, both good but
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: also terrifying. I saw those both as well. I saw
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: Send Help. That's the Sam Raimi movie that came out earlier.
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: This year. It was good. I didn't think it was great.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: I didn't love it. I certainly didn't love it the
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: way I loved the obsession of the two.
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: I mean, there's no comparison between the two we got
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: ifal seems shady to me that they had Henri say
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: crap like don't come back and fire Logan and the
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: man is legit injured. Love or hate him? Not cool
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: in my opinion. Dude, they had him go on television
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: and start this whole Can we fire Logan?
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: Paul stuff? Literally?
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: I think it was the Raw after Black Friday where
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: they cut like twenty four people.
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: They don't give a shit.
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: Tata the Savior. Did you see that Monday Night Raw
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: had commercials internationally? I had to go to Australia to
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: bypass them. I didn't have commercials on my end, but
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: I don't connect to Australia. I didn't have any issues
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: the Sheltered Kid at this point. Should they have just
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: abandoned the vision?
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: Dude?
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: They should have abandoned the vision months ago. Yes, yes,
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: it sucks. The group sucks. Barry MK says back when
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: thank you by the way for the fifteen Barry back
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: when Live was hurt. They did have a story of
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: Roxanne wanting to take her spot could have been interesting,
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: but I guess they forgot about it, much like the
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: story of Bailey hearing voices. Yeah, whatever happened to that.
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: I mean, that was kind of goofy. Anyway, I don't
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: really mind them getting rid of that one. But boy,
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: that got dropped. The vision is blurry, says Brian. Now
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: the vision is blind. They can't see where they're going. Terrence,
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: with the four ninety nine, Nicks are in the finals.
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: Now I need Solo to catch me up on raw
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: while I've already done that, So it's a good night
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: for you.
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: Aaron.
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: With the four ninety nine, I think Roxanne versus Charlotte
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: or Jason for Queen of the Ring finals and Seth
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: against Randy for King of the Ring. M You know,
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: I could see JC in there at the end. I
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: could see that. Also, Roman and Jacob should both put
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: the Juggalo face paint on, acknowledge Solo as the tribal
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: chief and join the MFTs. Well, boy, that would be
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: fucking terrible, that wouldn't it. That would be awful. But
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: then again, that would consolidate the bloodline into one faction,
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: so maybe.
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: That wouldn't be so bad.
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: And Boots, imagine a tribal combat match being held in
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: Samoa or American Samoa. It would probably be wild, similar
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: to the Mask versus Mask match being held in Mexico.
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I mean, the heat that those
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: two guys have is it's gonna be pretty hard to
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: top that. Looking forward to watching that match, I just
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: hope I have. I hope I can watch it live
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: because I'm going to have to record the sound off
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: a day early this weekend because this fucking Italy pay
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: per view is in the middle of the day on
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: Sunday and I gotta go live after that.
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: So but I am looking forward. It's going to be.
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: Molten hot in Monterey on Saturday night. We didn't have
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: any of the Americano stuff, by the way, on Raw
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: this week, which was so much better. It's always so
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: fucking dead on this show. I mean, and assuming that
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: Gable is going to be unmasked, as I hope you
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: will be on Saturday, this will be over shortly anyway,
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: so we didn't need them on the show tonight. I
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: don't think anybody missed them on the show. Let's put
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: it that way. So again, the goal tonight was four
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: point fifty on the likes and we were currently sitting
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: at four ninety five, so we did in fact hit
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: the goal. And with that being said, let us now
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: take you to be the booker.
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: Ladies or gentlemen, It is now time to be the booker.
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: It is time.
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: We get one round of be the booker tonight. Hey,
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: justin g thank you for the ten spot testing. If
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: the second goal is working with its suggested price point,
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: get those likes up, thanks everybody?
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: Oh is that? Yeah? I don't know.
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: It's weird, like if the uh if this if the
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: bonus goal thing is working. Somebody mentioned something about that
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: on I think it was the double or nothing stream
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: that it wasn't going up, But I think.
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: I think it may be broken. Says zero out of
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: ten from me, but I know I think there's been
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: more than that. I may have to try to keep
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: track of them manually. Anyway, let's do this be the booker.
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: We begin with father and son. Look at Dom. This
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: is before Rheo Ripley corrupted him. Raymisterio and Dom former
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: tag team champions together. This was during the Thunderdome era.
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: They are going to be defending those tag team titles
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: against Owen Hart and Jeff Jared. Owen just celebrated a
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: heavenly birthday the other day. I don't know offhand how
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: old he would have been. I just remember when he
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: died in ninety nine, he was only thirty four, which
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: is way too young.
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: Women's be the booker rowdy.
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: Ronda Rousey coming out of her big Netflix win, her
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: win over Gina Carano, is I guess stepping back in
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: the wrestling ring, even though she said she never would
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: not in WWE anyway. Ronda Rowsey against Molina, that's a
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: that's what you call a clash of styles. I don't
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: think those two really would go well together. It would
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: be over, probably even quicker than the Gina Corano fight.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: Owen would have been sixty one today, well I mean
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: not today, but as of this month, yes, he would
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: have been sixty one. Even sixty one sixty one is
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: very young. That's how young he was. The fact that
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: he would still be young if he would have died today,
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: that's what makes it so sad. And in our main event,
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: here we go. We have the former United States champion
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: here on Memorial Day. Carmelo Hayes in the main event,
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: and he will be stepping into the ring with who
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: to find out? Wow, talk about a clash of styles,
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: Carmelo Hayes against Big Daddy Cool Diesel. You know what,
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna give that the bell. I think that
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: that's a very interesting match. It would not end well
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: for Carmelo Hayes. He would eat the jackknife and get pinned,
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: but still he probably would be able to bring Kevin
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: Nash to one of the better matches that he's had.
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: Poor mellow, though not going to end well for him.
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: We have a member of the Click booking the show,
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: with a member of the Click in the main event. Gee,
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: I wonder how that's gonna end. Jeremy Rose with a
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: five dollars super chat. Do you think all the coverage
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: Dan Housen is getting for the Knicks run will turn
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: into a major title push or his Triple H two?
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: Why would he get a title push? What title should
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: he be pushed to? Fucking Dan Housen?
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: Dude?
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: I think Dan Housen is exactly where he needs to
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: be right now. He's not doing a lot of wrestling,
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: but he's kind of all over the place. He's living
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: his best life right now. I don't need to see
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: Dan Housen challenging for any title, maybe the tag team titles,
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: because the tag team titles are worthless anyway. There ain't
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: no title push coming for Dan Housen. He's being used
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: exactly the way they intended to use him. Yes, if
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: they still had the twenty four to seven title, he'd
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: be all over that shit. I do not want to
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: see Dan Housen challenging for any serious championship in this company,
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: not for the US title, not for the Intercontinental title,
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: not for the World championship. Keep him away from that.
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: So the next time I'm live with you here on
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: this channel will be Wednesday night for the Dynamite post show,
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: coming out of a tremendous double or Nothing pay per
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: view last night. But we got a big day tomorrow
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: because tomorrow is a brand new installment of The Uncrowned
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: Wrestling Show. I will have full predictions for Clash in Italy.
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: I'm gonna have thoughts on this new report that was
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: out today about this FTR contract situation. I've got some
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: thoughts on that and a couple of other things as
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: well that I did not cover on the sound off
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: this weekend, but we will talk double or Nothing as well.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: In the fallout from that, there's some news on Code Etbushi,
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: which my goodness, So we'll talk about all that on
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: Uncrowned tomorrow and then Tomorrow Night Live with JD for
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: a brand new installment of Tuesday Night Titans. And I
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: was hoping to actually be able to get some real
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: sleep tonight until I came home before I had to
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: go pick up my You know, my uncle was in
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: the hospital. He's a little dehydrated today, so I went
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: to go pick him up. And as I'm driving back
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: to try to get home in time for RAW, I
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: see my check engine light came on. And if I
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: tell you the profanity that I unleashed in that moment,
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: because I just had an issue not that long ago,
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: where like the check oil light whatever the fuck it's called,
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: that light came on and it was red, and I
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: know I have plenty of oil. I just had an
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: oil changed three months ago, so we speculated that maybe
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: it was a faulty switch.
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: Change the switch.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: It's been okay, everything's been good ever since, and all
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: of a sudden, the check engine light is on.
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: So now I have to I'm gonna wake up probably.
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: I don't know, six point thirty, so I could try
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: to be one of the first over to the mechanic
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: and let him take a look at it and tell
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: me what it is. Hopefully it's nothing too serious. It's
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: always something. It's always something. It's always something you can
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: never catch or break. So anyway, hopeful the best for me,
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: and I will see you guys tomorrow for all the
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: shows coming up then, and then back here live for
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: the Dynamite stream on Wednesday. And yes, I will be
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: live after Clash in Italy as well. That's coming up
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: this Sunday. We'll talk more about it later in the week.
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll be live immediately after or
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: what we may do is like that night, like eight
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: eight thirty something like that. Because Raw next Monday is
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: going to be a two o'clock Eastern start, be aware
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: of that. You don't need a VPN for this one
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: two pm Eastern on Netflix. It will be airing live
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: because they're international next week, and I'm probably going to
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: do the same thing where we'll go live probably around
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: at eight o'clock next Monday. So I'm definitely not going
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: to wait until eleven, but I'm not going to go
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: live immediately after the show. I want to eat dinner,
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: i want to get ready. So just expect the stream
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: to be up a few hours earlier next Monday. As
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: they head into this European tour, things are going to
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: be a little wonky, so just just check with me.
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: I'll keep you guys posting on what the schedule is
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: if I go live early. If I don't go live early,
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: it's going to be one of those months. A good month,
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: by the way, they'll get that VPN ready. I'm just saying,
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: Brian Finelli, what's going on real quick? Did you notice
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: any difference in viewership numbers watch time et set for
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: doing a Thursday TNT. Yeah, I mean the numbers were
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: down because it was not our usual night and also
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: you got the NBA Playoffs going on, So it's a
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: combination of the playoffs and the fact that we were
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: on and off night. But it wasn't like, oh my god,
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: the Thursday numbers were so much better. Like, no, not really.
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: So if you're wondering, are we going to change nights, Nope,
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: It's Tuesday Night Titans for a reason. That ain't gonna change.
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: I'll see you guys back here real soon. Until then,
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: take care, guys,
