<v Speaker 1>What is going on, guys at WrestleMania is in the books.

<v Speaker 1>It is the Raw after Mania. There have been a

<v Speaker 1>lot of very newsworthy Raw after Mania episodes over the years.

<v Speaker 1>This was a newsworthy one. It was not a great show,

<v Speaker 1>but what I liked about it was there was a

<v Speaker 1>lot going on, new faces popping up, people moving over

<v Speaker 1>from SmackDown to Raw, new feuds starting, So I like

<v Speaker 1>that aspect of it. It just felt like, Okay, we

<v Speaker 1>got some new stuff going on that kind of freshens

<v Speaker 1>things up a little bit. Beyond that, though not a

<v Speaker 1>great show, but I was mostly entertained by what we

<v Speaker 1>got tonight, which culminated with the new World Heavyweight Champion.

<v Speaker 1>We had Roman Reigns, who was nice enough to grace

<v Speaker 1>us with his presence and the closing moments of the

<v Speaker 1>show as his car pulled up to the building just

<v Speaker 1>in time before Monday Night Raw ended. They're very lucky

<v Speaker 1>he showed up when he did. He didn't get caught

<v Speaker 1>in a traffic jam, or we'd still be sitting here

<v Speaker 1>waiting for him to show up. But he came out,

<v Speaker 1>and he brought his cousins out with him, and this

<v Speaker 1>is what I was a little concerned about, which was

<v Speaker 1>we're going to be right back to the blood Line.

<v Speaker 1>It's going to be same old, same old, and we're

<v Speaker 1>going to have the Bloodline as they did on Fridays

<v Speaker 1>now running things on Mondays, and that may well be

<v Speaker 1>the case. The one good thing is they put the

<v Speaker 1>World Heavyweight Championship back on Roman, and it does appear

<v Speaker 1>that Roman is going to be pretty much full time

<v Speaker 1>through the summer, which might be a dead giveaway about

<v Speaker 1>how long he's going to have that World Heavyweight Championship.

<v Speaker 1>So we are going to have Roman on the show,

<v Speaker 1>if not every week, on most weeks. That was my

<v Speaker 1>biggest concern coming out of WrestleMania, or even going into WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>If you were going to put the world Championship on him,

<v Speaker 1>we need him on the show, and so hopefully that

<v Speaker 1>will be the case going forward. That'll be a good thing.

<v Speaker 1>He came out of the end and we had an

<v Speaker 1>unexpected appearance joining him and the USOS in the ring

<v Speaker 1>in the form of Jacob Fatu, somebody else who was

<v Speaker 1>successful at WrestleMania this weekend. He beat Drew McIntyre in

<v Speaker 1>their unsanctioned match, and he came down to the ring

<v Speaker 1>and he confronted Roman and honestly, this is a confrontation

<v Speaker 1>that I have been waiting a long time for. This

<v Speaker 1>is a match when Jacob first came into WWE that

<v Speaker 1>I was hoping we would get. We still haven't gotten it.

<v Speaker 1>So when I saw him come out, I said, huh, okay,

<v Speaker 1>that piqued my interest. Let's see where this goes. So

<v Speaker 1>he came down to the ring. Yes, yeah, fairly, there

<v Speaker 1>goes my idea, though my theory of Randy Orton being

<v Speaker 1>the one who attacked Jacob fivet to I guess we're

<v Speaker 1>never really going to get a resolution, although I guess

<v Speaker 1>you just have to assume Drew McIntyre did do it.

<v Speaker 1>He was lying the entire time. We never really got

<v Speaker 1>a resolution to that, and now it appears that we

<v Speaker 1>are not going to get a resolution to that. But

<v Speaker 1>he confronted Roman in the ring and he said, I

<v Speaker 1>want all the things that you have, all the money,

<v Speaker 1>all the cars, I want to support my kids, the

<v Speaker 1>bigger house, everything, all of it. I want it. I

<v Speaker 1>want to be world heavyweight champion. And Roman gave him

<v Speaker 1>and he said backlash, and Roman gave him one week

<v Speaker 1>because I don't know if you're ready for it. I'm

<v Speaker 1>not going to say yes. I'm not going to say no.

<v Speaker 1>I'll give you seven days. We'll reconvene on Raw next

<v Speaker 1>Monday night, and we'll take it from there. And that's

<v Speaker 1>how they left things. Where the teas that the main

<v Speaker 1>event of Backlash, which is only a couple weeks away,

<v Speaker 1>I think, right May ninth, I believe. So what is

<v Speaker 1>that two and a half weeks something like that, that

<v Speaker 1>the main event of Backlash is going to be Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reigns against Jacob fa Tou. It's not official, but they

<v Speaker 1>wouldn't dangle that carrot the way they did tonight if

<v Speaker 1>they weren't going to be doing that match. That is

<v Speaker 1>a match that appeals to me. That's a match that

<v Speaker 1>intrigues me, as is the finish of such a match,

<v Speaker 1>Because if they're going to put these two in the

<v Speaker 1>ring together and Jacob, let's say it's going to be

<v Speaker 1>on Raw now and he's already wrestling for the World

<v Speaker 1>Heavyweight Championship, I don't see them moving the World Heavyweight

<v Speaker 1>Championship onto Jacob FA two. So what does that mean?

<v Speaker 1>I mean? We are we looking at a on in

<v Speaker 1>done scenario. Are we looking at Jacob then falling in

<v Speaker 1>line because Roman wanted him to do one thing at

<v Speaker 1>the end of the night. He wanted him to acknowledge him.

<v Speaker 1>I keep telling you guys, you know, Roman Reigns. For

<v Speaker 1>all the people that cheer for this man, Roman Reigns

<v Speaker 1>has not changed one damn bit from the conceited, selfish

<v Speaker 1>asshole that we saw in the original incarnation of the Bloodline.

<v Speaker 1>And so even when he went to his cousins and

<v Speaker 1>Jay you know, didn't want to have anything to do

<v Speaker 1>with him, and he wanted to make amends, he never changed.

<v Speaker 1>He's still the same guy. You saw it even tonight

<v Speaker 1>when he had his cousins out there in the ring

<v Speaker 1>with him, and he says, look, you know, it's basically

<v Speaker 1>like united. We stand, divided, we fall. When we're apart

<v Speaker 1>and we're separate, we're weak, and you've got all kinds

<v Speaker 1>of people talking shit about us, including washed up rappers.

<v Speaker 1>But when we're together like we were all those years ago,

<v Speaker 1>were unstoppable manipulation. He's still manipulating his cousins. This man

<v Speaker 1>hasn't changed, and so we may well be looking at

<v Speaker 1>a case where he's going to try to recruit Jacob

<v Speaker 1>in we got a new bloodline going on. I don't

<v Speaker 1>want to see that. Jacob Fotuo should not be falling

<v Speaker 1>in line with anybody. If anything, Jacob Fatu should be

<v Speaker 1>the one bringing the usso's over with him when all

<v Speaker 1>is said and done, and having his own little crew.

<v Speaker 1>But to be honest with you, I had bloodline fatigue

<v Speaker 1>at this point. We had the bloodline, we had the MFTs,

<v Speaker 1>which is like TMU blood line. This would be what

<v Speaker 1>the third incarnation of the group. It's like nWo, nWo

<v Speaker 1>wolf Pack nWo. How many versions of the nWo did

<v Speaker 1>we even have? We had what three or four or

<v Speaker 1>five nWo two thousand, I don't know how many fucking virgins.

<v Speaker 1>I don't need to see that with the bloodline. But

<v Speaker 1>I am intrigued about the Roman in Jacob's story, so

<v Speaker 1>I like that now. The man who lost the World

<v Speaker 1>heavyweight Championship Cmpunk, he made an appearance on the show tonight,

<v Speaker 1>and he was looking rather chipper for someone who lost

<v Speaker 1>the world title, because it was almost like a weight

<v Speaker 1>had been lifted off of his shoulders. And he made

<v Speaker 1>it very clear he's not taken a vacation, you know,

<v Speaker 1>he's not going anywhere, and he said, you never know

<v Speaker 1>when a World Championship opportunity might fall out of the sky.

<v Speaker 1>That brought out Cody Rhodes, who was not looking too good.

<v Speaker 1>His eye was not looking too good, and they heavily

<v Speaker 1>teased a Cody Road CM punk match. I didn't get

<v Speaker 1>the impression it was anything that was imminent. It may

<v Speaker 1>not even happen this year. I look at that as

<v Speaker 1>a potential WrestleMania main event in Saudi next year. So

<v Speaker 1>just because they were openly teasing it tonight does not

<v Speaker 1>necessarily mean it's going to be, let's say, a Summer

<v Speaker 1>Slam match. I would like for it to be, but

<v Speaker 1>to be honest like that, that's a wrestle Minia caliber match.

<v Speaker 1>They wanted to give it to us this year. I

<v Speaker 1>certainly have no issue with that. But they were heavily

<v Speaker 1>leaning into it, so much so that we are going

<v Speaker 1>to get it at some point. The only question it's

<v Speaker 1>not if. The only question is when we had also

<v Speaker 1>on this show the return of the Street Profits, who

<v Speaker 1>we have not seen on television in many, many months,

<v Speaker 1>and so they were back right we saw them on SmackDown.

<v Speaker 1>Last time we saw them they are now going to

<v Speaker 1>be mixing up with the vision for the tag team

<v Speaker 1>titles on the raw side, so it was good to

<v Speaker 1>get them back on TV. You got to try to

<v Speaker 1>breathe some life into this dead tag team division, so

<v Speaker 1>you got to start somewhere, So it's good to see them.

<v Speaker 1>They teased other matches here on this show, a rematch.

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure this will be the Backlash match Live Morgan

<v Speaker 1>and Stephanie Vaquier, bron Breaker and Seth Rollins they went

<v Speaker 1>at it tonight. And then there's also Gunther and La

<v Speaker 1>Knight and oh man, poor La Night. You know. Gunther

<v Speaker 1>was in the back and he was being interviewed late

<v Speaker 1>in the show and La Knight interrupted and as soon

<v Speaker 1>as I saw La Knight in the shot, I said,

<v Speaker 1>what are you doing? Man? Like, what are you doing?

<v Speaker 1>There's no way on any planet that this ends well

<v Speaker 1>for La Knight. Like, we haven't even seen the match yet.

<v Speaker 1>I mean we have seen the match in the past,

<v Speaker 1>but like this particular match that they're clearly going to

<v Speaker 1>have very soon, we have not even seen the match yet.

<v Speaker 1>I already know how it's going to go. La Night.

<v Speaker 1>He's the only person who hasn't been clued in about

<v Speaker 1>how this is gonna end. So La Knight setting himself

<v Speaker 1>up for another loss and yeah, we gotta we gotta ye, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>we gotta get that in. But yeah, it's not gonna

<v Speaker 1>end well for him. So that seems to be a

<v Speaker 1>direction here. The bigger story though, outside of the Roman

<v Speaker 1>and Jacob stuff, were the NXT call ups and some

<v Speaker 1>of the new faces that we either saw on the

<v Speaker 1>show tonight or have already been teased for Raw next week.

<v Speaker 1>So on the show tonight we had Ethan Page and

<v Speaker 1>Soul Root. This was their official Raw calla. They are

<v Speaker 1>officially now on Monday Nights, and they teased that next

<v Speaker 1>week Joe Hendry, whom Michael Cole flat out said he's

<v Speaker 1>on Monday Night Raw. Now he's a member of the

<v Speaker 1>Raw roster. He's going to be in concert, so I

<v Speaker 1>guess we'll see who interrupts him. Maybe that'll give us

<v Speaker 1>a sense of who he's going to be working with.

<v Speaker 1>So that's going to be on RAW next week, and

<v Speaker 1>I like this look. Typically the Raw after Mania in

<v Speaker 1>the past or SmackDown after Mania has been the time

<v Speaker 1>where you do introduce some new faces or somebody makes

<v Speaker 1>a big return and so there were no big returns tonight.

<v Speaker 1>But they made some moves, roster moves, which I think

<v Speaker 1>are needed. You want to freshen the roster up a

<v Speaker 1>little bit. I don't get the sense they're doing a draft.

<v Speaker 1>I don't want them to do a draft. We don't

<v Speaker 1>need no stinking draft. I've talked about this before. If

<v Speaker 1>you want to make roster moves, there are other ways

<v Speaker 1>to do it without a draft. The draft shows suck,

<v Speaker 1>They're boring, they suck. Don't do them anymore. I'm perfectly

<v Speaker 1>fine if they just want to say, you know what,

<v Speaker 1>we're just gonna move the chess pieces around and they're

<v Speaker 1>just going to show up, We're going to debut some

<v Speaker 1>new people on the show. Fine, always good to freshen

<v Speaker 1>things up. But if you're gonna be making moves like this,

<v Speaker 1>you got some work to do where it comes to SmackDown,

<v Speaker 1>because as things stand right now at this moment, SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>needs a lot of help after and I mean SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>already needed a lot of help, but now it needs

<v Speaker 1>more help. I have to assume, right it's early yet,

<v Speaker 1>we haven't even gotten to Friday yet, that by the

<v Speaker 1>time we get to SmackDown on Friday, those moves will

<v Speaker 1>become clear. But you watch Raw tonight and you could

<v Speaker 1>kind of tell, like what some of the moves are

<v Speaker 1>gonna be. So, for example, we already know Rhea Ripley

<v Speaker 1>is on her way to SmackDown. She looked crestfallen in

<v Speaker 1>the back tonight when she was partying ways with EO Sky.

<v Speaker 1>She's the new WWE Women's Champion right that title belongs

<v Speaker 1>on SmackDown, So she is now going to go to

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown and defend that title. CM punk, who may know

<v Speaker 1>well mention of SmackDown, But what he did do is

<v Speaker 1>he went face to face with Cody Rhods tonight and

<v Speaker 1>they were teasing that match for a reason. Now, even

<v Speaker 1>if that match is not going to happen imminently, he

<v Speaker 1>would have to be a member of the SmackDown roster

<v Speaker 1>unless you waited until next year. And he won the

<v Speaker 1>Royal Rumble. CM Punk. It feels to me he's been

<v Speaker 1>on Raw ever since he came back to the company

<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty three. Right, is it good to be

<v Speaker 1>alive on Monday Night? We've been hearing this every week

<v Speaker 1>now for three years. If anybody I think could really

<v Speaker 1>benefit the other show. It would be cmpunk. Cmpunk is

<v Speaker 1>a big star. SmackDown could use some star power. Cmpunk

<v Speaker 1>is there every single week. He's actively wrestling on the

<v Speaker 1>show on most weeks. SmackDown could use cm Punk. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know what else you do with him. If he

<v Speaker 1>sticks around on Raw, him and Roman, that's done him

<v Speaker 1>and the Vision. Are you fucking kidding me? What else

<v Speaker 1>is he gonna do? It makes sense for him to

<v Speaker 1>move over to SmackDown, And especially if you're moving Jacob

<v Speaker 1>Fatu over from SmackDown to Raw, you know, it's almost

<v Speaker 1>like a clean swap there. So I think Punk moving

<v Speaker 1>to SmackDown is very likely. Rhea Ripley we already know

<v Speaker 1>she's on smack Down. By the way, if they do

<v Speaker 1>move Punk to SmackDown, I'm sure one person who will

<v Speaker 1>not be happy about that, Drew McIntyre. They would be

<v Speaker 1>reunited once again on the same brand. So Punk very possible.

<v Speaker 1>Rhea Ripley confirmed, we already know she's moving over. They

<v Speaker 1>just debuted Royce Keys on SmackDown. He just won the

<v Speaker 1>Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal last week. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>Raw has Obafemi. They're really pushing him hard. SmackDown has

<v Speaker 1>Royce Keys. In addition to that, let's look to NXT

<v Speaker 1>because we had Ethan Page and soul Ruka right, and

<v Speaker 1>now Joe Hendry, who could SmackDown get from NXT, especially

<v Speaker 1>if they move Punk over. So I know they're like this.

<v Speaker 1>First name that comes to mind is Ricky Saints. So

<v Speaker 1>Ricky Saints going to SmackDown to me would make a

<v Speaker 1>lot of sense. How about Blake Monroe. I don't even

<v Speaker 1>know why, frankly, she's still down there in NXT. Blake

<v Speaker 1>Monroe would really help that SmackDown women's division. And she's

<v Speaker 1>a great character. She's got this, you know, great personality.

<v Speaker 1>I think that would fit perfectly over there on the

<v Speaker 1>main roster, and SmackDown would be a good fit for her.

<v Speaker 1>So Ricky Saints, Blake Monroe, Jacy Jane, who just lost

<v Speaker 1>the NXT Women's Championship, they may call up the entirety

<v Speaker 1>of fatal influence. All three women, you know, get Fallon

<v Speaker 1>Henley up there too. So there are moves to make

<v Speaker 1>where you know, when I'm on here on Friday Night

<v Speaker 1>talking about SmackDown, I'm not talking about how weak SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>is we're talking about Okay, you know, they made some

<v Speaker 1>great moves here. These are the moves that I'm hoping

<v Speaker 1>that by the time we get to the end of

<v Speaker 1>the week that we're looking at the other thing on

<v Speaker 1>the On the show tonight they can well. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>they were talking about it in a way on Sunday where, oh,

<v Speaker 1>we're not sure, but it looks like brock Lesner has retired.

<v Speaker 1>Tonight they were more kind of they were declarative about it,

<v Speaker 1>where they said brock Lesner has retired, and they gave

<v Speaker 1>us a tribute video package showing highlights of his career

<v Speaker 1>from over the years. It was very well done. It

<v Speaker 1>was a godsmack song that they used. I am still

<v Speaker 1>not one hundred percent convinced that he is retired. I

<v Speaker 1>hope he is. I really do. He had, in many ways,

<v Speaker 1>the best sendoff you could ask for, putting over Obafemi

<v Speaker 1>the way he did at WrestleMania. It really doesn't get

<v Speaker 1>any better than that. So to me, I hope that

<v Speaker 1>that's the end and that's sort of the bow on

<v Speaker 1>the gift. But I'm just still not convinced. I still

<v Speaker 1>think there could be something there with this favor that

<v Speaker 1>Paul Hayman owes to Gunther and there's a way to

<v Speaker 1>kind of coax him out of quote unquote retirement. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>I get a lot of people like, oh, he was

<v Speaker 1>crying last night, so of course it's real. Brock was crying.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not so sure that Brock was crying. Actually, Paul

<v Speaker 1>Hayman was crying. You can see the tears streaming on

<v Speaker 1>his face. I'm looking at brock Lesnar last night and

<v Speaker 1>to me and again, whether this was genuine or not,

<v Speaker 1>you know, him retiring like it looked like he was

<v Speaker 1>trying to cry. I don't know that he was. It

<v Speaker 1>wasn't like he was a blubbering mess the way some

<v Speaker 1>people say, don't look too much into that. That doesn't

<v Speaker 1>mean anything. But yes, for the time being, at least,

<v Speaker 1>it does look like brock Lesner has wrestled his final match.

<v Speaker 1>But we all know how that goes anyway. This is

<v Speaker 1>your Raw on Netflix review, the Raw after Mania. Let's

<v Speaker 1>get into it. It is Monday night, April twentieth oh four,

<v Speaker 1>twenty four, twenty twenty twenty six. I am the Solemn Monster.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you for hanging out with me. We are continuing here.

<v Speaker 1>We've been doing shows, a lot of them. They don't stop.

<v Speaker 1>There is no off season in wrestling. You just sort

<v Speaker 1>of pushed the reset button and you start all over again.

<v Speaker 1>That's why we're here. Super chats are open if you

<v Speaker 1>would like to send them money. I will read all

<v Speaker 1>of your messages. You will see them popping up on

<v Speaker 1>your screen, and we'll hang out a little bit later

<v Speaker 1>and go through them all. I just want to say

<v Speaker 1>thank you everybody who joined for all the WrestleMania coverage

<v Speaker 1>this weekend. Big success as it usually is. We had

<v Speaker 1>nearly ten thousand live combined between the two nights, well

<v Speaker 1>north of one hundred and twenty thousand views and counting

<v Speaker 1>between the two raw reviews on Saturday and Sunday. So

<v Speaker 1>I thank you for that. And with that, let's spin

<v Speaker 1>the wheel because we got to find out what the

<v Speaker 1>likes goal is to do our be the booker segment tonight.

<v Speaker 1>Do I have my RVD rolling papers? I do not.

<v Speaker 1>Seven hundred likes is the goal for tonight, So you're

<v Speaker 1>gonna have to work towards you. We're right around three

<v Speaker 1>fifty ish right now. Seven hundred is the goal. No,

<v Speaker 1>I do not have my RVD rolling papers. If you

<v Speaker 1>would like to send me some, but I don't think

<v Speaker 1>I would even know what to do with them. I

<v Speaker 1>would probably wrap my sandwich in it. Well, I don't

<v Speaker 1>know what you would expect me to do with it,

<v Speaker 1>but anyway, here we go. The show started with a

<v Speaker 1>recap of WRESTLEMANI of forty two, all the highlights and

<v Speaker 1>low lights as it were. Michael Cole said that brock

<v Speaker 1>Lesner has called it a day and they would be

<v Speaker 1>looking back at his career tonight. But we had Oba Femei,

<v Speaker 1>the man who conquered brock Lesner just last night at WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>He opened the show as he should have, and he

<v Speaker 1>made his way out to the ring. He was all

<v Speaker 1>dressed up, he was looking He was out there all

<v Speaker 1>dressed up in a suit, looking like he was about

<v Speaker 1>to sell you a badass sports car with a really

<v Speaker 1>good warranty. He made his way down to the ring

<v Speaker 1>and huge superstar reaction for this guy. I mean he

<v Speaker 1>gets one every single week, but there was just a

<v Speaker 1>different feeling in the air tonight, coming off the biggest

<v Speaker 1>win of his career. Like okay, WrestleMania was a statement

<v Speaker 1>night for him, and this was also a statement from

<v Speaker 1>the company that Okay, we recognize what we have here

<v Speaker 1>and we're putting our weight and our might behind him.

<v Speaker 1>He has officially arrived. And for him this really did

<v Speaker 1>feel like, okay, we're starting the Obafemi era now of

<v Speaker 1>Monday at new Era. But that's kind of what it

<v Speaker 1>felt like with him when he came out here. So

<v Speaker 1>he came down to the ring and the fans are

<v Speaker 1>chanting his name and they're barking even after the music stopped,

<v Speaker 1>and he just stood there and he had a very

<v Speaker 1>serious look on his face. He's staring straight ahead into

<v Speaker 1>the hard camera. And after several minutes of this, he

<v Speaker 1>kept it very short and sweet. He picked the microphone

<v Speaker 1>up to his mouth and he said, the ruler has arrived,

<v Speaker 1>and he dropped the microphone and he left very reminiscent

<v Speaker 1>of the Roman Reign segment from the Raw After Mania

<v Speaker 1>in twenty seventeen when he stood in the ring and

<v Speaker 1>the booze, Oh my god, this man was being drowned

<v Speaker 1>out by the booze. And just after like eight minutes,

<v Speaker 1>he finally spoke. The crowd let him speak, and he goes,

<v Speaker 1>this is my yard now. He dropped the mic still

<v Speaker 1>one of the best Postmania raw segments of all time,

<v Speaker 1>like I being there for it, Like the heat that

<v Speaker 1>this man generated was like nothing I had seen in

<v Speaker 1>a very long time. Only here it wasn't he It

<v Speaker 1>was love. It was all love for Obafemi. He didn't

<v Speaker 1>have to say anything else. You know, if he's not

<v Speaker 1>going after the World Heavyweight champion ship just yet, you

<v Speaker 1>don't really want to send him out there and be

<v Speaker 1>like Roman Reigns, because now you're promising a match that

<v Speaker 1>you're not planning on doing, and it makes him look

<v Speaker 1>stupid if he comes out and brings up Roman but

<v Speaker 1>then doesn't challenge him to a match. So I don't

<v Speaker 1>know what they're going to have in store for him

<v Speaker 1>as far as like if he's going to wrestle a Backlash,

<v Speaker 1>or what that next big program is going to be.

<v Speaker 1>We can look ahead and see Roman rains, we can

<v Speaker 1>look ahead and see Gunther right these are obvious matches.

<v Speaker 1>It doesn't look like they're going to any of those

<v Speaker 1>just yet, So we'll see, we'll see what they have

<v Speaker 1>in store for him. But he is going to be

<v Speaker 1>the face of this brand before long. Right now, it's

<v Speaker 1>still you know, Roman Reigns. It was cmpunk. Now it's

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns. That's not going to change anytime soon. But

<v Speaker 1>inside of a year, he may well be the face

<v Speaker 1>of Monday Night Raw. It will not take that long.

<v Speaker 1>If it takes a year, if it takes nine months,

<v Speaker 1>if it takes eighteen months, Oba is going to be

<v Speaker 1>that guy on this show. He will go there. We

<v Speaker 1>have the new WWE Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley her final

<v Speaker 1>night officially on Monday Night Raw, teaming with her bff

<v Speaker 1>who did not have a match of WrestleMania, Eo Sky,

<v Speaker 1>to take on Oscar and Kyrie Saine. I guess this

<v Speaker 1>is what Eo meant last week when she wrote on

<v Speaker 1>social media see you in Las Vegas, Osca. Little did

<v Speaker 1>we know she bent the Raw after WrestleMania, which was

<v Speaker 1>at the Team Oble Arena tonight. Ahead of a commercial break,

<v Speaker 1>Kyrie delivered an insane elbow to a standing rear Ripley

<v Speaker 1>outside the ring. Oba versus Dan Hausen. Okay, I think

<v Speaker 1>we just found the direction for Oba. So you're gonna

<v Speaker 1>go from a I can't even call it a feud.

<v Speaker 1>He did have two matches with him on SmackDown, but

<v Speaker 1>you're gonna go from Kit Wilson to feuding oba with

<v Speaker 1>brock Lesner and then having him in a program with

<v Speaker 1>Dan Hausen. I see Mark Shapiro, is that you and

<v Speaker 1>the chat? I think we got some Tko moles in

<v Speaker 1>the chat trying to book the territory here, so the

<v Speaker 1>Kabuki Warriors they held control through the commercial break. Eo

<v Speaker 1>got the hot tag, she went to work. She also

<v Speaker 1>got the crowd noise up, because they were pretty quiet

<v Speaker 1>for the first few minutes of this. Rhea gave Oscar

<v Speaker 1>a razor's edge. Eo followed with a missile dropkick. EO

<v Speaker 1>caught Oscar with her crazy suicide dive out to the floor.

<v Speaker 1>Key word there being suicide because this is the second

<v Speaker 1>time now in the last few weeks that Eo Sky

<v Speaker 1>has brained herself on the floor outside. I think this

<v Speaker 1>actually looked worse. I'd have to go back and see

<v Speaker 1>it again, but I think this looked worse than the

<v Speaker 1>first time she did it, where she just comes out

<v Speaker 1>of the ring and it's not that she's like folded

<v Speaker 1>up on the back of her neck, like she comes

<v Speaker 1>down right on top of her head and then she

<v Speaker 1>pops up and no sells it, and it's like, I'm

<v Speaker 1>watching this and I'm just like, man, fuck, Like, I

<v Speaker 1>know she's a Joshi, and Joshi's are just built different.

<v Speaker 1>I get it, but please stop landing on your fucking head.

<v Speaker 1>We talk about this sometimes with people, like when I'm

<v Speaker 1>watching aaw and especially on these pay per views, and

<v Speaker 1>some of these guys, look, will Osprey is as guilty

<v Speaker 1>of this as anybody I've seen where or I should

<v Speaker 1>say Cody Aboushie was. But there are certain wrestlers it

<v Speaker 1>seems like they like landing on their neck or they

<v Speaker 1>like being dropped on their head, and I just watch

<v Speaker 1>it and I WinCE and I cringe, and I'm like,

<v Speaker 1>can we not do this? Can we not shorten your

<v Speaker 1>career by a few years? I love Yo to death

<v Speaker 1>and the dives look great because they're so wild and

<v Speaker 1>out of control, but maybe there's a message there. So

<v Speaker 1>in the ring, Rhea gave Kyrie a riptide. Eo followed

<v Speaker 1>with her over the moon salt for the pin so

<v Speaker 1>Eo Pin Kyrie, which preserves the future match if we

<v Speaker 1>ever get it between Eo and Osca. I am hopeful

<v Speaker 1>that that will be the backlash match. You never know

<v Speaker 1>what these pls. You know, Triple Ah doesn't like having

<v Speaker 1>more than five matches on these show. I'm sure Backlash

<v Speaker 1>will have five matches. Of the five matches, would they

<v Speaker 1>actually give one of those spots to a women's match

<v Speaker 1>on the mid card with no title involved. I'm skeptical.

<v Speaker 1>This could just as easily be a Monday Night Raw

<v Speaker 1>match in two weeks. But as far as Rhea, we'll

<v Speaker 1>talk more about her later because this was her sendoff here.

<v Speaker 1>We had one more segment with her later in the show. Backstage,

<v Speaker 1>Adam Pierce was chatting with Penta and he was congresslating

<v Speaker 1>the Intercontinental Champion on his win at WrestleMania. Javon Evans

<v Speaker 1>showed up and he congratulated Penta, but he said he

<v Speaker 1>planned to become the Intercontinental Champion soon. He said that

<v Speaker 1>he should have been the Intercontinental champion. Basically, Penta said

<v Speaker 1>that the title wasn't leaving him anytime soon, and he

<v Speaker 1>did his cat phrase and he left, and then Ethan

<v Speaker 1>Page walks in. I said, finally, I've been waiting for

<v Speaker 1>this guy. I thought maybe he'd end up on SmackDown,

<v Speaker 1>but this is fine, so he ends up on Raw.

<v Speaker 1>Here he shows up and Pierce introduces him to Javon Evans,

<v Speaker 1>who's very familiar with Ethan Page because these two have

<v Speaker 1>a history together in NXTWO. And when he walked in again,

<v Speaker 1>this was in the back, but you could hear the crowd.

<v Speaker 1>The crowd in Las Vegas gave him a great reaction,

<v Speaker 1>you know, when he walked in, they knew who he

<v Speaker 1>was and they were happy to see him. So Page

<v Speaker 1>mocked Evans for thinking that he even deserved another title shot.

<v Speaker 1>He said that he wanted the Intercontinental title, and unlike Javon,

<v Speaker 1>he wouldn't need a second shot at it. Evans got

<v Speaker 1>up in his face, so Pierce got in between them

<v Speaker 1>and said, you could settle this in the ring tonight.

<v Speaker 1>The crowd was happy about that. In fact, the crowd

<v Speaker 1>let out such a cheer. Whatever Page said in response,

<v Speaker 1>I couldn't even hear what he said because the crowd

<v Speaker 1>was so loud and he spoke so low, or maybe

<v Speaker 1>it was the way he was miked, but I couldn't

<v Speaker 1>even hear what he said. I love this move again.

<v Speaker 1>I was thinking maybe he would end up on SmackDown.

<v Speaker 1>I keep thinking of SmackDown because SmackDown really needs the

<v Speaker 1>help and SmackDown has the extra hour, so you're gonna

<v Speaker 1>have or gonna need more people on that roster anyway.

<v Speaker 1>And also like he was doing the mixtag thing with

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea Green, She's on SmackDown, so I thought maybe there

<v Speaker 1>could be something there. But he will do just fine

<v Speaker 1>on Monday Night bra. He did very well for himself

<v Speaker 1>an NXT. He was very well regarded by Shawn Michaels.

<v Speaker 1>That much was clear if you watch the new Seawn

<v Speaker 1>Michaels document entry on Peacock. There's some stuff on there,

<v Speaker 1>some interactions with him and Ethan Page, and I'm happy

<v Speaker 1>for him. You know, he put the work in. He

<v Speaker 1>kind of transformed his body a little bit from when

<v Speaker 1>he was in AW. He really didn't do a whole

<v Speaker 1>lot in AW. You know, he had a thing going

<v Speaker 1>with the Men of the Year with Scorpio Sky and

<v Speaker 1>he was doing some stuff, but like they never they

<v Speaker 1>never did anything significant with him. And so in NXT,

<v Speaker 1>because it is a smaller roster, he had the chance

<v Speaker 1>to show that he could be a top guy on

<v Speaker 1>a brand, and I think that really helped him as

<v Speaker 1>opposed to him, let's say signing and then being put

<v Speaker 1>immediately on Raw or immediately on smackdand he might have

<v Speaker 1>done well, but I actually think him being an NXT

<v Speaker 1>for so long benefited him. So I think he's going

<v Speaker 1>to do well, and I'm happy to see him get

<v Speaker 1>the call up. And also the fact that he's already

<v Speaker 1>got eyes on the Intercontinental title. He's gonna he's gonna

<v Speaker 1>have that championship within a few months. Like that title

<v Speaker 1>just has his name on it. It will literally have

<v Speaker 1>his name on. Do they do name plates anymore, I

<v Speaker 1>don't even know if they do. I think they do.

<v Speaker 1>If they do name plates on the center plate, he

<v Speaker 1>will have his name on that title very soon. Now

<v Speaker 1>they showed see him punk. He was walking backstage and

<v Speaker 1>the cameras following him through the gorilla position. Some fans

<v Speaker 1>were chanting his name, some fans were noticeably booing, and

<v Speaker 1>he walked out onto the stage no music, so very

<v Speaker 1>similar to his WrestleMania entrance. And he gets on stage,

<v Speaker 1>he gets down to a knee and he says it's

<v Speaker 1>and then the fans said clobber in time. Then they

<v Speaker 1>played cul to personality and he made his way down

<v Speaker 1>to the ring. So we had a little bit of

<v Speaker 1>a story time here with Cmpunk on Monday Night Raw.

<v Speaker 1>He said that he's dealt with a lot of loss recently.

<v Speaker 1>His MMA trainer, Duke Rufus, passed away in October. In November,

<v Speaker 1>Larry the Dog he crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. WWE

<v Speaker 1>suffered a number of losses involving behind the scenes employees.

<v Speaker 1>He paid tribute to many of these people by the

<v Speaker 1>way on his jacket at wrestlemani id talked about some

<v Speaker 1>of the names that were embroidered onto the jacket, so

<v Speaker 1>he mentioned some of those names. He mentioned the death

<v Speaker 1>of Bo Looters earlier this month, and he said I

<v Speaker 1>also lost the World Heavyweight Championship, and that stings less

<v Speaker 1>obviously than the other names that he mentioned. He's not

<v Speaker 1>trying to compare losing a wrestling title to these people

<v Speaker 1>that died, but the point is he has suffered a

<v Speaker 1>lot of losses recently, and he thanked the fans for

<v Speaker 1>helping him deal with his grief. But he said he

<v Speaker 1>wasn't even supposed to be the world champion, which is

<v Speaker 1>what I mentioned when I talked about his reign at

<v Speaker 1>the end of the main event last night. I said,

<v Speaker 1>this was not even supposed to happen. Seth Rollins got

<v Speaker 1>hurt and he benefited from it. He had that match

<v Speaker 1>with Jay Usso on Saturday Night's main event. He won

<v Speaker 1>the World Heavyweight Champampionship and he ended up holding it

<v Speaker 1>all the way through WrestleMania. But he was a fighting champion.

<v Speaker 1>He would defend his title even on television, and he

<v Speaker 1>had a good run. You know, he had a good

<v Speaker 1>run for himself, and he had some quality wrestling matches

<v Speaker 1>out of it. He said he was just going to

<v Speaker 1>accept winning and losing the world title in three minutes

<v Speaker 1>from Gunther at SummerSlam. Before Seth Rollins cashed in his

<v Speaker 1>money in the bank and that was going to be it,

<v Speaker 1>and he said he could have gone home, but he

<v Speaker 1>always stays ready. Look at this, he's Jack and Matt Cardona,

<v Speaker 1>he's his gimmick. Hmm. He's a Jack and Matt Cardona's gimmick,

<v Speaker 1>which could be taken a lot of ways. But I

<v Speaker 1>think you know what, Jesus Christ, I think you know

<v Speaker 1>what I mean by that. Stop Jack and his gimmick. Anyway,

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure Matt Cardona was listening to this, going man,

<v Speaker 1>stop using my catchphrase. But he's always ready, he says.

<v Speaker 1>He says, he became champion and if he didn't stay ready,

<v Speaker 1>jay Uso would be the one walking out here right now,

<v Speaker 1>and the fans booed, so he felt compelled to defend

<v Speaker 1>jay Usso he said, Hey, I like to yeat like

<v Speaker 1>everybody else. He goes get with the program Las Vegas.

<v Speaker 1>So why is he out here? Then, he says, with

<v Speaker 1>a smile on his face and a pep in his step,

<v Speaker 1>because even though he may have lost, he says, he's

<v Speaker 1>still the best in the world. He's still the best

<v Speaker 1>in the world, and obviously that makes it very happy.

<v Speaker 1>He proved it last night, he said. He said he

<v Speaker 1>gave it everything he had and he's not going to complain,

<v Speaker 1>and he's not going to go on vacation. He's going

<v Speaker 1>to stay ready because you never know when a championship

<v Speaker 1>opportunity might fall out of the sky. And he went

<v Speaker 1>to go leave, and he stopped in his tracks when

<v Speaker 1>they played Cody Rose's the music, and out came the

<v Speaker 1>WWE Champion. Hey, you guys are too You know that

<v Speaker 1>you guys are too much, So the WWE Champion came out.

<v Speaker 1>He pulled the shades off and then his eye does

<v Speaker 1>not look good. He had a very badly bruised black eye.

<v Speaker 1>At least it wasn't swollen shot like it was on

<v Speaker 1>Saturday Night. It was actually open and apparently there is

<v Speaker 1>no orbital injury. I don't think it's anything where he

<v Speaker 1>should be out for an extended period of time. Looking

<v Speaker 1>at him right now, I don't see how he can

<v Speaker 1>be medically cleared. So I don't know if the idea

<v Speaker 1>was that he would wrestle and defend his title of Backlash.

<v Speaker 1>Let's say, I don't see how that you know, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>it might be possible, but I don't see how that

<v Speaker 1>timeline is going to work. So I'm not so sure

<v Speaker 1>about him defending that championship on that show. They do

<v Speaker 1>have Clash in Italy at the end of May, so

<v Speaker 1>maybe Roman defends a Backlash and then Cody defends his belt.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe on that show, when you have two pls in

<v Speaker 1>the same month, you can kind of spread him out

<v Speaker 1>like that. But Cody gets in the ring and he said, honestly,

<v Speaker 1>he was surprised by how Chipper Punk was acting. Punk asked, Cody,

<v Speaker 1>what you thought I was going to come out here

<v Speaker 1>and crash out and Cody said, yeah, I did. Cody's

<v Speaker 1>the one standing here and feeling and looking like a loser,

<v Speaker 1>and Punk said, well, does that mean that you think

<v Speaker 1>I should feel like a loser? Punk says that some

<v Speaker 1>people think he looks like a loser. I mean sure,

<v Speaker 1>that could be a word that he would use to

<v Speaker 1>describe himself. On Saturday Night, Cody beat a WWE Hall

<v Speaker 1>of Famer first ballot hall of Famer in Randy Orton.

<v Speaker 1>He also beat a friend and a mentor, which is

<v Speaker 1>a hard thing to do. Punk said, look at me.

<v Speaker 1>I hated my opponent. It was easy for me to

<v Speaker 1>go in there and kick the shit out of him.

<v Speaker 1>You had a harder job than I did because you

<v Speaker 1>actually liked the person that you were in the ring with,

<v Speaker 1>and you won and I lost. He says, Cody's path

<v Speaker 1>is just keep winning, keep defending that championship, and just

<v Speaker 1>keep winning. Punks is to stay ready because again, you

<v Speaker 1>never know when a championship opportunity might fall out of

<v Speaker 1>the sky. So he drops the mic, he leaves the ring,

<v Speaker 1>and as he's leaving, Cody just says, just say when,

<v Speaker 1>and Punk smiles and he walks to the back that

<v Speaker 1>ladies and gentlemen, is what you call a tease. They're

<v Speaker 1>queuing you up for the eventual match, just don't know

<v Speaker 1>when that match is going to happen. If Punk moves

<v Speaker 1>to SmackDown, which is the move that would make sense

<v Speaker 1>because SmackDown could use him, then that makes the match

<v Speaker 1>a lot more likely to happen this year. I could

<v Speaker 1>see that being a Summer Slim match. Summer Slim's two

<v Speaker 1>nights again this year, and so I could see that

<v Speaker 1>being a Summer Slim made event, but it could also

<v Speaker 1>be a WrestleMania made event, so big enough. Honestly, it

<v Speaker 1>is one of the biggest matches the ww can do

<v Speaker 1>right now, is Cody Roads against Cmpunk. There are very

<v Speaker 1>few other matches I could think of. I mean, obviously

<v Speaker 1>people will talk about Rock and Roman or Cody and

<v Speaker 1>Rock right because their story is unfinished, Roman and Oba

<v Speaker 1>or so you know, there are certain matches that are

<v Speaker 1>big matches that WWE can do Cody and Punk. If

<v Speaker 1>it's not number one, it's top two or three, So

<v Speaker 1>that's not going to be a match that they're just

<v Speaker 1>going to want to give away. SummerSlam would be the

<v Speaker 1>absolute earliest I would see them doing that. Match, and

<v Speaker 1>even then I'm not sure that's when they would want

<v Speaker 1>to do it. But what I also liked here in

<v Speaker 1>this segment was the contrast between these two. Then Normally,

<v Speaker 1>if somebody loses a World championship and they come out

<v Speaker 1>on television the next night or two nights later and

<v Speaker 1>they're smiling and they're all happy, like, it gets on

<v Speaker 1>my nerves because John Cena would do that all the time.

<v Speaker 1>Nothing ever bothered this guy, nothing we got under his skin.

<v Speaker 1>Everything was always it was gonna be okay, Everything's gonna

<v Speaker 1>be all right. Of course it was because he inevitably

<v Speaker 1>he always got the title back. Anyway, I'd be smiling too,

<v Speaker 1>but that used to drive me some fucking nuts. And

<v Speaker 1>in this case, you know, Punk came out and he

<v Speaker 1>explained it. He said, look, I went in there and

<v Speaker 1>I lost, but I'm happy because I prove that I'm

<v Speaker 1>the best in the world, which he didn't really prove

<v Speaker 1>that he's the best in the world because you fucking lost.

<v Speaker 1>But you know, in WWE today, it's like, oh well,

<v Speaker 1>as long as I entertained all of you, as long

<v Speaker 1>as I had a good performance, that's what counts. Like

<v Speaker 1>blow me, it's about winning and losing. But he went

<v Speaker 1>out there and the way he explained it like whatever,

<v Speaker 1>it's it's fine. But I liked the contrast that he

<v Speaker 1>lost last night and he came out he was in

<v Speaker 1>a good mood. Cody won and he walked out there

<v Speaker 1>and he looked like he was in the fight of

<v Speaker 1>his life. I mean he looked at me. He's like

<v Speaker 1>basically just sort of like almost limping down the eye

<v Speaker 1>to the ring, and he looked very worse for wear,

<v Speaker 1>and he did not look to be in a great mood.

<v Speaker 1>So it was an interesting contrast considering who actually won

<v Speaker 1>and who actually lost this weekend. But we'll see when

<v Speaker 1>we actually get this match. If they move Punk over

<v Speaker 1>to SmackDown this Friday, it how do you keep those

<v Speaker 1>two apart long enough? Like it just seemed to me

<v Speaker 1>that you're gonna have to get to that match sooner

<v Speaker 1>than later, So it would be more interesting to see

<v Speaker 1>how they keep them apart. Considering the segment that we

<v Speaker 1>had tonight, And again, if Drew McIntyre stays on SmackDown,

<v Speaker 1>how do you keep those two apart? The whole point

<v Speaker 1>Like when they had their Hell in a Cell match

<v Speaker 1>and that was over, was that these two guys hate

<v Speaker 1>each other so much, like they cannot be on the

<v Speaker 1>same brand, They cannot coexist on the same show, so

<v Speaker 1>you have to separate them. But now if they're back

<v Speaker 1>on the same show, you're not gonna go back to

<v Speaker 1>Punk and McIntyre. I almost feel like you would have

<v Speaker 1>to move McIntyre in that case, but they already moved,

<v Speaker 1>you know, Jacob Fatu, So to move him to the

<v Speaker 1>same show that Jacob just moved to, it's a little weird.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think they're gonna do that. We got a

<v Speaker 1>pre tap promo from Finn Balor talking about how dom

<v Speaker 1>got everything that he had coming to him at WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>and the Demon put him down, but he's not finished

<v Speaker 1>with the Judgment Day. He expected this type of betrayal

<v Speaker 1>from Dominic, but he didn't expect this from JD McDonough.

<v Speaker 1>So JD was a kid that walked into a gym

<v Speaker 1>in Ireland and Finn helped him grow into one of

<v Speaker 1>the best performers on the planet. When he needed someone

<v Speaker 1>in the Judgment Day that would have his back no

<v Speaker 1>matter what, he chose McDonough but JD chose Dom. Balor

<v Speaker 1>said he brought JD into this business, and tonight he's

<v Speaker 1>going to take him out. This week's episode is sponsored

<v Speaker 1>it was time for Ethan Page to officially make his

<v Speaker 1>in ring debut on Monday Night Raw against Javon Evans.

<v Speaker 1>Fine little match here. They ended up outside where Evans

<v Speaker 1>laid Page out across the announced desk and he had

<v Speaker 1>some evil intentions. But before we could find out what

<v Speaker 1>he had in mind, Russeps showed up. All of a sudden,

<v Speaker 1>he's right there, he's in the timekeepers area and he

<v Speaker 1>takes a swing at Javon misses and Javon I think

<v Speaker 1>punched him. And now Javon had a moment where he

<v Speaker 1>had to make a decision. Does he go after Ethan Page,

<v Speaker 1>his opponent, or does he go after Russev? And he

<v Speaker 1>chose Russev, so he dove over the time keeper's barricade

<v Speaker 1>onto Russev. Evans went to the ropes, but he got

<v Speaker 1>tripped up by Ethan, who finished him off with his

<v Speaker 1>twisted grin finish for the wind. Russev then attacked Javon

<v Speaker 1>in the ring, and Page is just like, peace out.

<v Speaker 1>I'm getting out of here. I don't want to have

<v Speaker 1>anything to do with this. I got the dub, I'm

<v Speaker 1>on my way out, so he exited the ring. Russev

<v Speaker 1>put Evans in the accolade, not for very long though.

<v Speaker 1>They played Penta's music and the Intercontinental champion came sprinting

<v Speaker 1>down to the ring. He attacked Russev, but when he

<v Speaker 1>went to the ropes, Page came back and he tripped

<v Speaker 1>up Penta, and Penta got wiped out with a Machka kick.

<v Speaker 1>Ethan was applauding russe Russev looked very non plus by

<v Speaker 1>all this. He kind of sneered at him, and at

<v Speaker 1>that point Page backed away and Russev locked Penta in

<v Speaker 1>the accolade and then he posed with the Intercontinental title.

<v Speaker 1>So the Intercontinental title scene right now on Monday Night

<v Speaker 1>Raw is looking pretty good. You know, he got Penta

<v Speaker 1>as the champion, and really all the guys, most of

<v Speaker 1>the guys, maybe not Ray because I don't see him

<v Speaker 1>still being a part of this particular division, but like Penta,

<v Speaker 1>Dragon Lee, maybe JD. McDonough, Russev, those are the guys

<v Speaker 1>that are still going to be fighting over this championship.

<v Speaker 1>And now you add Ethan Page into the equation, and

<v Speaker 1>there's other possibilities as well. You got the Americanos, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>they weren't part of the ladder match. My hope is

<v Speaker 1>that when the two Americanos have their mask match at

<v Speaker 1>the end of next month and Gable hopefully gets unmasked,

<v Speaker 1>we can get him back into the mix here, you know,

<v Speaker 1>away from the Americano bullshit, get him into the Intercontinental titles.

<v Speaker 1>So they got a pretty good thing going. I think

<v Speaker 1>it's a pretty strong division right now, basically the opposite

<v Speaker 1>of the tag team division on either show that is

<v Speaker 1>not very strong. I wish I could say otherwise, but

<v Speaker 1>I'd be lying to you if I did. Now. After

<v Speaker 1>a break, we got the Judgment Day all making their

<v Speaker 1>way down to the ring, including the new Women's World Champion,

<v Speaker 1>Live Morgan. She came out, They all came out to

<v Speaker 1>her new song Trouble. It's her new official entrance theme.

<v Speaker 1>So she called herself the greatest Women's World Champion of

<v Speaker 1>all time. She thanked her Judgment Day family. She also

<v Speaker 1>thanked her WrestleMania opponent. She thanked Stephanie Vicaire for reminding

<v Speaker 1>her that she was the most talented woman in WWE.

<v Speaker 1>This was her ring, this was her division, this was

<v Speaker 1>her show, and this is her championship and if anybody

<v Speaker 1>thought that she was troubled before, just wait. So then

<v Speaker 1>she was interrupted, not by Stephanie, she was interrupted by

<v Speaker 1>soul Ruca from NXT, who got a much bigger reaction

<v Speaker 1>than you would think, or maybe not. She is very

<v Speaker 1>popular and she had that one match, that one main

<v Speaker 1>roster match on the Saturday Night's main event several months ago,

<v Speaker 1>and she was pretty over there too, But not like

<v Speaker 1>this crowd in Las Vegas. They knew exactly who she

<v Speaker 1>was and she got a great reaction coming out here.

<v Speaker 1>She got into the ring. She called Live an inspiration.

<v Speaker 1>She's like putting her over. She's saying all these nice

<v Speaker 1>things about Live Morgan, and Morgan said that, Ruka, you

<v Speaker 1>got some nerve interrupting my celebration. But because you were

<v Speaker 1>so nice to me, I'm gonna say this as nicely

<v Speaker 1>as I can. You are no Live Morgan, sweetie. She

<v Speaker 1>told Ruka to get out of her ring, and Soul said,

<v Speaker 1>I'm not out here for a fight, but I'm not

<v Speaker 1>about to back down from one either. So Adam Pierce

<v Speaker 1>walked out. He could see where this was going, and

<v Speaker 1>he asked the fans in Vegas if they want I

<v Speaker 1>wanted to see a fight. They said they did, so

<v Speaker 1>he made a match between them, and that match would

<v Speaker 1>be happening right now. So we got a non title, unplanned,

<v Speaker 1>impromptu non title match between Liv Morgan and Soul Ruka.

<v Speaker 1>And I'm looking at Soul Ruka out there, and I'm

<v Speaker 1>just I'm thinking to myself, I'm trying to figure out,

<v Speaker 1>like which one she reminds me of more, just like

<v Speaker 1>in terms of the way that she's out there, the

<v Speaker 1>way she's dressed and everything. Is it more Jeff Hardy

<v Speaker 1>or is it more Lida, because I definitely see a

<v Speaker 1>little bit of both in her, and that's not a

<v Speaker 1>bad thing because they were super fucking over back in

<v Speaker 1>the day. I mean, they went wild for Lida and

<v Speaker 1>everybody loved Jeff Hardy. So she, I don't know, there's

<v Speaker 1>something about she's like a free spirit. That plus also

<v Speaker 1>some of the gear that she wears, but I just

<v Speaker 1>can't figure out if there's one or the other. She

<v Speaker 1>kind of reminds me a little bit of both. So anyway,

<v Speaker 1>Morgan in the match, she went for three, Amigo's Soul

<v Speaker 1>countered with a suplex of her own. She came off

<v Speaker 1>the top rope, Lived though, caught her with a code

<v Speaker 1>breaker on the way down for a near fall. Morgan

<v Speaker 1>then went for Oblivion and Soul did this cool like

<v Speaker 1>handstand counter out of it, and the fans popped for it.

<v Speaker 1>She had a superkick and then she hit the soul Snatcher,

<v Speaker 1>and even before she hit the soul Snatcher, like you

<v Speaker 1>could hear the crowd like they were anticipating it. And

<v Speaker 1>she hits the move and it's the best finished in wrestling,

<v Speaker 1>just visually. It's just just a great move and she

<v Speaker 1>hits it and Live Morgan rolls out to the floor

<v Speaker 1>to avoid being pinned, and the people booed, so then

<v Speaker 1>she did a handspring dive out over the top row

<v Speaker 1>wiped out all the members of the judgment day on

<v Speaker 1>the floor, and the Vegas crowd was just buzzing for

<v Speaker 1>this woman. So Jessica Carr is the referee. She's checking

<v Speaker 1>on live back in the ring, and she is taking

<v Speaker 1>forever to do so, and that allows Zaria to show

<v Speaker 1>up her former friend and tag team partners. She shows

<v Speaker 1>up and she sends Soul face first into the ring

<v Speaker 1>post and she gives her a spinebuster on the floor.

<v Speaker 1>The two of them are wrestling on NXT tomorrow night.

<v Speaker 1>So Jessica finally turns around. She sees soul Ruka on

<v Speaker 1>the ground. Gee, I wonder what happened here? I didn't

<v Speaker 1>see nothing, So she starts counting. Seul was able to

<v Speaker 1>get back into the ring in time, just in time

<v Speaker 1>for Live to hit Oblivion for the win. This was

<v Speaker 1>very good. I enjoyed this match and I thought it

<v Speaker 1>was an excellent debut for soul Ruka. Even though she lost,

<v Speaker 1>there's no shame in losing to the world champion. She

<v Speaker 1>gave her a tough fight now, and she got to showcase,

<v Speaker 1>you know, some flashy offense. She got to do the

<v Speaker 1>soul snatcher, which always gets over. The fans were fully

<v Speaker 1>behind her here in this match, and look, when you

<v Speaker 1>have a performance like that, even in defeat, you still

<v Speaker 1>get over. So this was again a great first night

<v Speaker 1>for her on Raw. They protected her with the Tzaria interference.

<v Speaker 1>It also played into their match right because Zaria cost

<v Speaker 1>her a win in her Raw debut. So now she's

<v Speaker 1>going to be extra spicy now going into that match

<v Speaker 1>tomorrow night. But I have to point this out. This

<v Speaker 1>got eleven minutes. Actually it got more like eight minutes

<v Speaker 1>that we saw because a good chunk of it happened

<v Speaker 1>during the commercial break. Even if you take the eight

<v Speaker 1>plus minutes that we saw on TV, this was longer

<v Speaker 1>than the Women's World Championship match between Live Morgan and

<v Speaker 1>Stephanie Vecaire at WrestleMania. That is inexcusable. Inexcusable. You could

<v Speaker 1>have had a seven minutes Soul Ruka debut on Monday

<v Speaker 1>Night Raw and given Live in Stephanie eleven or twelve

<v Speaker 1>minutes a WrestleMania like the whole thing is just asked backwards, like,

<v Speaker 1>what are we doing here? You built this issue up

<v Speaker 1>for months between these two women for the World Championship,

<v Speaker 1>and they couldn't muster more than seven minutes the WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>they got eleven tonight. Don't ask me, Don't ask me.

<v Speaker 1>I got no good explanation for it. Now, as the

<v Speaker 1>judgment they were leaving, they shot off Stephanie vicerrez Piro

<v Speaker 1>and it scared the shit out of Live. Morgan would

<v Speaker 1>have scared the shit out of me too if I

<v Speaker 1>didn't know it was coming. So then Stephanie comes out

<v Speaker 1>on stage and Live walks right up to her and

<v Speaker 1>they come face to face. Live raises the title over

<v Speaker 1>her head, and it looks like we are probably getting

<v Speaker 1>a rematch in a few weeks of backlash. Seems to

<v Speaker 1>be the direction here. You got to have some rematches,

<v Speaker 1>a backlash, you expect it. You know they're coming that

<v Speaker 1>one again. My only hope there, Stephanie's not going to

<v Speaker 1>win the belt back, nor should she Live should have

<v Speaker 1>her run. My hope is that they get more time

<v Speaker 1>to really go out there and have a better match,

<v Speaker 1>so the time that they were shortchanged in Vegas, hopefully

<v Speaker 1>they get that and more in Tampa and they can

<v Speaker 1>actually go out there and do some things that maybe

<v Speaker 1>they had planned to do at WrestleMania didn't have the

<v Speaker 1>chance to do, because they at least deserve that much,

<v Speaker 1>especially if that's going to be their last match together.

<v Speaker 1>So that would be my hope. There After this, we

<v Speaker 1>had the video package I alluded to earlier for Brock Lesnar,

<v Speaker 1>this historical look back at his career, starting from the

<v Speaker 1>moment he debuted as the next big thing in two

<v Speaker 1>thousand and two, all the way up until his apparent

<v Speaker 1>retirement at WrestleMania this weekend. The choice of song, I

<v Speaker 1>think though it was perfect, especially because I don't remember

<v Speaker 1>what year I stand Alone came out by Godsmack. I

<v Speaker 1>want to say it was early two thousands, and that's

<v Speaker 1>when Brock debuted. Like it's funny when they started playing

<v Speaker 1>the song here in the video and I saw that

<v Speaker 1>first clip of him coming out on Raw and power

<v Speaker 1>bomb not power bombing, but giving Maven the F five,

<v Speaker 1>and then power bombing Spike Dudley, Like, I'm listening to

<v Speaker 1>the song, it's so weird, like the way music works,

<v Speaker 1>where you hear certain songs and it takes you back

<v Speaker 1>to either a moment or a point in time. And

<v Speaker 1>when I hear that song and other songs like it

<v Speaker 1>from that genre, I always associate it with the Ruthless

<v Speaker 1>Aggression era because I feel like we were hearing a

<v Speaker 1>lot of that on WWE television at the time. Like

<v Speaker 1>clearly somebody in production was like into that scene. So

<v Speaker 1>so many pay per views and so many video packages,

<v Speaker 1>whether it was Oddsmack or Creed and some of these

<v Speaker 1>other bands, you know, Trust Company and Saliva and whatever else.

<v Speaker 1>It just it kind of takes me back to that

<v Speaker 1>time period. So for that reason, I thought that that

<v Speaker 1>was a very Yes. Scorpion King, thank you. Yes Scorpion

<v Speaker 1>and Scorpion King came out in two thousand and two,

<v Speaker 1>I believe, which is the year that Brock debuted. So yes,

<v Speaker 1>that's exactly what I'm talking about. This was very well done.

<v Speaker 1>It was very well done. Look, the guy was an

<v Speaker 1>athletic freak. There really has not been anybody like him

<v Speaker 1>that has come onto the scene and dominated and been

<v Speaker 1>pushed to the moon in the way that he was.

<v Speaker 1>You think back to his rookie year. He had as

<v Speaker 1>good of a rookie year as anybody in the history

<v Speaker 1>of this company. I think for me, it always came

<v Speaker 1>down to him and Brock him and Brock him and

<v Speaker 1>Kurt Angle. The rookie years that those guys had are

<v Speaker 1>better than any other rookie year that I've seen, and

<v Speaker 1>there have been some great ones. Aj Styles had a

<v Speaker 1>great rookie year. To me, none will top brock Lesnar.

<v Speaker 1>Think of the way that this man burst onto the

<v Speaker 1>scene and the people they had him working with. Now,

<v Speaker 1>right out of the gate, they had him working with

<v Speaker 1>the Hardys because the Hardies were so over and they

<v Speaker 1>could bump for him and bounce around. But from there

<v Speaker 1>he got in the ring with Rick Flair and he

<v Speaker 1>fucking beat Hulk Hogan with a bear hug on TV.

<v Speaker 1>They put the world title on him by Summer Slam.

<v Speaker 1>He debuted in April, and they put the WWE Championship

<v Speaker 1>on him in August, and then he worked Undertaker in

<v Speaker 1>two back to back pay per view matches and beat

<v Speaker 1>him in Hele and a Cell, and on and on

<v Speaker 1>and on. There's no better rookie year. Flair, Rock Hogan, Undertaker.

<v Speaker 1>What the fuck he would have beat Austin if Austin

<v Speaker 1>didn't walk out. Austin's like fuck this, You're not blowing

<v Speaker 1>this match off unannounced on TV in a qualifying match,

<v Speaker 1>go fuck yourself. And he went home. His name would

<v Speaker 1>have been on that list too. Never been in a

<v Speaker 1>better rookie year than Brock Lesner and I see people

<v Speaker 1>pointing that out when it comes to Oba Femi, and

<v Speaker 1>it would be very appropriate considering that Brock was beaten

<v Speaker 1>at WrestleMania by Oba. Oba is the next big thing?

<v Speaker 1>Could Oba be holding World Championship gold by SummerSlam? Very possible.

<v Speaker 1>That's what they call it, the Brock push. Oba maybe

<v Speaker 1>getting the Brock push. It's been done before, But I

<v Speaker 1>really do hope this is it for Brock. I don't

<v Speaker 1>think that there could be a better sendoff for him.

<v Speaker 1>Aj Styles got his sendoff at the Rumble scene, got

<v Speaker 1>his sendoff on an episode of Saturday Night's Main Event,

<v Speaker 1>so did Goldberg. I think for Brock to get his

<v Speaker 1>on a show like Mania, on a stadium show in

<v Speaker 1>front of fifty thousand people, and to go out by

<v Speaker 1>putting over the quote unquote next big thing in the

<v Speaker 1>way that he did right on ESPN, it's the biggest

<v Speaker 1>possible platform. I mean, there is an argument to be

<v Speaker 1>made SummerSlam coming to Minneapolis that used to be his home,

<v Speaker 1>or at least where he went to school. But like,

<v Speaker 1>that's kind of like Brock's place. And he won his

<v Speaker 1>first World championship from the Rock at SummerSlam, So like

<v Speaker 1>aj debuting and the Rumble, there's like a historical significance

<v Speaker 1>there for him. The only way they would do that,

<v Speaker 1>the only reason they would do that is if he

<v Speaker 1>was going to wrestle Gunther, And to me, that's gonna

<v Speaker 1>end up being a match that got away from them

<v Speaker 1>for various reasons. They were not able to make that

<v Speaker 1>match happen. I'm okay with it staying that way. I

<v Speaker 1>don't see the needs to bring Brock back. He got

<v Speaker 1>his send off, he passed the baton, he passed the torch.

<v Speaker 1>What more could you ask for? Hopefully that was his

<v Speaker 1>retirement at WrestleMania. Now from Brock, we went to Paul Hayman, Logan,

<v Speaker 1>Paul and Austin Theory. Boy, you guys are having a

<v Speaker 1>lot of fun reminis I see how disturb How could

<v Speaker 1>I forget disturbed? I forgot to mention them corn seven dust.

<v Speaker 1>Anybody listened to Soil back then? Soil was another one.

<v Speaker 1>They had a great song called the one that I

<v Speaker 1>used to be a big fan of God? Who else?

<v Speaker 1>There were so many of those, so many of those bands.

<v Speaker 1>Paul Hayman in the vision make their way to the ring.

<v Speaker 1>Hayman said his favorite part of WrestleMania is to expect

<v Speaker 1>the unexpected, and what he saw will live on in

<v Speaker 1>people's hearts for a long time. Earlier tonight, Cmpunk was

<v Speaker 1>kissing the asses of everybody in the back. But the

<v Speaker 1>production team they forgot to do one thing. They forgot

<v Speaker 1>to take Brock Lesner out of the opening signature. Then

<v Speaker 1>Now Forever together, and they had Lesner in there under

<v Speaker 1>the now. He said, take him out. He is no

<v Speaker 1>longer part of the now. He is the forever. And

<v Speaker 1>he said that he was the baddest ever in a

<v Speaker 1>WWE ring. He gave us one more Barrock Lesner for

<v Speaker 1>the last time until he inducts Brock into the Hall

<v Speaker 1>of Fame one day, assuming they could pay Brock enough

<v Speaker 1>to come in for the Hall of Fame. I think

<v Speaker 1>they do pay these guys. I think it used to

<v Speaker 1>be five thousand dollars. If they ever want to winduc

<v Speaker 1>Brock into the Hall of Fame. I think it might

<v Speaker 1>take more than that. I think it will to get

<v Speaker 1>him to fly in for the Hall of Fame and

<v Speaker 1>do any kind of speech. I think you would have

<v Speaker 1>to pay him a tidy sum, but Hayman would have

<v Speaker 1>to be the one doing the induction. But now we're

<v Speaker 1>talking about the vision. The vision is the now talking

<v Speaker 1>about Austin theory and Logan Paul and he handed the

<v Speaker 1>microphone off to Logan, and Logan got nuclear heat from

<v Speaker 1>the crowd here in Vegas. They booed him every time

<v Speaker 1>he tried to speak. They drowned him. It's like the

<v Speaker 1>dominic mysterio, the old dominic mysterio effect, and they would

<v Speaker 1>not let him speak. But Logan says, the only reason

<v Speaker 1>that the USO's in La Night stole the wind from

<v Speaker 1>him in Austin is because of that backstabbing weasel I

<v Speaker 1>show Speed. He's sick of these YouTubers and streamers thinking

<v Speaker 1>that they can do whatever they want, they can come

<v Speaker 1>into their business and do this. He hates those outsiders.

<v Speaker 1>It says nothing that happened at WrestleMania matters because I

<v Speaker 1>Show Speed left with a piece of his fist lodged

<v Speaker 1>in his face and the Vision are still the world

<v Speaker 1>tag team champions. So Hayman wants to take a moment

<v Speaker 1>now to realize the great favor that was done for

<v Speaker 1>him by Gunther who beat Seth Rollins, and he said

<v Speaker 1>he is willing to repay that favor to Gunther anytime

<v Speaker 1>he wants. But the best assist of the weekend goes

<v Speaker 1>to the man that cuts Seth Rollins in half. And

<v Speaker 1>with that he introduces Bron Breaker, who has a lot

<v Speaker 1>more hair on his head than the last time we

<v Speaker 1>saw him prior to this weekend. So Breaker comes down

<v Speaker 1>to the ring and he hugs everybody, and he says

<v Speaker 1>that he was thinking about how it was one year

<v Speaker 1>ago that he took the leadership over of the Vision

<v Speaker 1>in this very arena because Seth Rollins was too weak,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, uh, I think his timeline may be

<v Speaker 1>off a little bit. So Bron's favorite part about WRESTLEMANI

<v Speaker 1>a Weekend was watching Rolins getting so close to beating

<v Speaker 1>Gunther and then ruining everything for him. That brought him

<v Speaker 1>a lot of joy. Broun hopes Seth is back in

<v Speaker 1>the back somewhere or watching somewhere. From here on out,

<v Speaker 1>he's going to attack him every single day. So Seth

<v Speaker 1>Rollins struck first, he hid him from behind with a

<v Speaker 1>chair and then he got swarmed by the rest of

<v Speaker 1>the vision. The street profits music hit. I mean, talk

<v Speaker 1>about random. When was the last time we saw these guys.

<v Speaker 1>So they come out, no shirts on, no red solo cups,

<v Speaker 1>They're all business. Montes, Ford, Angelo Dawkins. They charge it

<v Speaker 1>down to the ring. They attack Austin, Theory and Logan.

<v Speaker 1>Paul Champs gets set into the floor, Montes dives out

<v Speaker 1>onto them, lands on his feet and they brawl into

<v Speaker 1>the crowd. Meanwhile, in the ring, bron Breaker he eats

<v Speaker 1>a super kick because he's coming in, but he eats

<v Speaker 1>a superkick from Seth Rawlins. Breaker, though avoids the stomp

<v Speaker 1>and he hits a spear. Now. Breaker was bleeding badly,

<v Speaker 1>and I couldn't tell it first, then it was very

<v Speaker 1>clear he was bleeding from the back of the head.

<v Speaker 1>So that chair shot from Rollins. I guess the lip

<v Speaker 1>of the chair maybe caught him a little too well

<v Speaker 1>in the back of the head, so he'll probably need

<v Speaker 1>some stitches or staples. I couldn't see where the wound was,

<v Speaker 1>but he was bleeding pretty badly from the back of

<v Speaker 1>the head, and he tears off Seth's shirt and we

<v Speaker 1>see tape underneath from Seth's match the night before, and

<v Speaker 1>Breaker talks his shit and he says the people will

<v Speaker 1>remember him being Rollin's as a shell of what he

<v Speaker 1>used to be. And bron picked him up and he

<v Speaker 1>hit the ropes back and forth, back and forth to

<v Speaker 1>build up speed, and then one last super spear puts

<v Speaker 1>down Seth Rollins. So we know we're going to get

<v Speaker 1>a match between them, and we've known this for a while,

<v Speaker 1>right they were just waiting for these guys to get healthy.

<v Speaker 1>Is it going to happen at Backlash? I would say

<v Speaker 1>probably that would be a Backlash match, unless they want

<v Speaker 1>to save it for a little bit longer, maybe until

<v Speaker 1>the end of May. But we're going to get a

<v Speaker 1>match between them, and when we do, I would I mean,

<v Speaker 1>I would suspect that you wouldn't want to be beating

<v Speaker 1>Bron Breaker. But Rollins just lost to gun Through or WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>so I don't know if they want him to just

<v Speaker 1>go in there and lose again. The outcome of that

<v Speaker 1>match is a little it's a little dicey. It should

<v Speaker 1>be a bron Breaker win though, and we'll see if

<v Speaker 1>Rollins has to enlist some help here, because right now

<v Speaker 1>he's all by himself out. He's out manned. You got Theory,

<v Speaker 1>you got Logan, Paul, you got bron Breaker. Eventually Bronson

<v Speaker 1>Reed is going to be back, but that's not going

<v Speaker 1>to be for a few more months. Is Rollins going

<v Speaker 1>to recruit some friends? And it's so who is that

<v Speaker 1>going to be? Can't keep going out there every week

<v Speaker 1>and getting his ass kicked. Maybe he'll bring his ninja

<v Speaker 1>friends back. Boy, they disappeared, didn't they. You may have

<v Speaker 1>to re enlist some of the ninjas. Finn Balor against

<v Speaker 1>j D McDonough. McDonough also, like Rollins, came out with

<v Speaker 1>his ribs taped up from the LA. He had a

<v Speaker 1>good excuse for it though, from the ladder match or WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>where this fucking guy in the ladder match last night

<v Speaker 1>took a destroyer onto a ladder bridge and they had

<v Speaker 1>him out here on Raw the next nighthistling another match.

<v Speaker 1>God bless this guy. He has my respect. So they

<v Speaker 1>brawled briefly into the crowd. Balor got his mouth busted open.

<v Speaker 1>I didn't see how a lot of hard way blood

<v Speaker 1>on this show. So JD avoids a shotgun dropkick connects

<v Speaker 1>with the giant and I do mean giant head for

<v Speaker 1>the headbut JD goes up top moon salt and he

<v Speaker 1>eats the knees on the way Actually wasn't even the knees.

<v Speaker 1>He got kicked in the fucking face on the way down.

<v Speaker 1>Shotgun drop kick connects ballor goes up, hits the coup

<v Speaker 1>de grass gets the three count. Uh. This was it

<v Speaker 1>was decent, you know, for the three minutes that they got.

<v Speaker 1>How are you gonna give Finn Balor and JD McDonough

<v Speaker 1>three minutes when they kicked him out of the judgment day.

<v Speaker 1>I thought we were gonna get this match weeks ago

<v Speaker 1>on Raw and I was actually looking forward to I

<v Speaker 1>think they advertised it and I was actually looking forward

<v Speaker 1>to it. And I had some people go, it's fine

<v Speaker 1>to save it for a pl really really, because we

<v Speaker 1>got three minutes of it that actually aired. And I'm

<v Speaker 1>not counting the commercial shit because I saw all the

<v Speaker 1>commercials tonight. I couldn't see what was going on during

<v Speaker 1>the commercials. Three minutes one and done. Thanks for coming.

<v Speaker 1>These two can do so much more. These two guys,

<v Speaker 1>if you gave them a solid ten to twelve just

<v Speaker 1>one time to go out there and just have a

<v Speaker 1>banger of a match, they would absolutely go out there

<v Speaker 1>and tear the house down. Even if the people at

<v Speaker 1>the beginning were quiet, like by by midway through, like

<v Speaker 1>they'd be hanging onto every near fall, they ain't doing

<v Speaker 1>this match on a pl I think this was the

<v Speaker 1>last of it tonight that we saw. So Dom attacks

<v Speaker 1>Finn from behind. After the match, Balor fights back, He

<v Speaker 1>set up for the coup de grass and McDonough pulled

<v Speaker 1>Dom out of the way to safety. I wish again,

<v Speaker 1>I wish I could tell you that, you know, this

<v Speaker 1>was some really good television match, but when you see

<v Speaker 1>three or four minutes of it, what is there to say?

<v Speaker 1>You know? I mean, how do you even adequately review

<v Speaker 1>a three minute match? A three minute television match, That's

<v Speaker 1>all I even need to say, and you can just

<v Speaker 1>visualize it in your head. Barely had enough time to

<v Speaker 1>get going here. This is where PL's having five matches

<v Speaker 1>really hurts. Yeah, it does not saying they all have

<v Speaker 1>to have eight nine matches, but when you are just

<v Speaker 1>married to capping it at a certain number. It really does,

<v Speaker 1>it really does handicap you now. Jackie Redman interviewed Gunther

<v Speaker 1>in the back, who was all smiles after his win

<v Speaker 1>against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, and he said he feels fantastic.

<v Speaker 1>He proved everything that he said about Seth Rollins was true,

<v Speaker 1>but he wanted to make it clear there was no

<v Speaker 1>WI because she asked him about Hayman. There's no WI

<v Speaker 1>when it comes to him and Paul Hayman. Hayman simply

<v Speaker 1>owed him a favor, and Jackie pressed him for more

<v Speaker 1>information on what that was. Gunher ignored her. He just said,

<v Speaker 1>the only thing people should expect is the world heavyweight title.

<v Speaker 1>Back around my waist. L A. Knight interrupts and I

<v Speaker 1>just I see this guy walk in. I'm just like,

<v Speaker 1>I'm this fucking guy. He congratulates Gunther, but he isn't

<v Speaker 1>the only one with eyes on that world championship. The

<v Speaker 1>way he sees it, Gunther needed a three on one

<v Speaker 1>advantage to win at WrestleMania. He didn't, so the way

<v Speaker 1>he sees it, Gunther got an l at WrestleMania and

<v Speaker 1>he did his catchphrase and he left, and Gunther was

<v Speaker 1>not amused. Poor La Knight. We know how this story ends.

<v Speaker 1>That's all I can say. Elsewhere, backstage, Rhea, Ripley and

<v Speaker 1>Eosky they shared a heartfelt goodbye. This was like something

<v Speaker 1>out of a soap opera. And Ria told EO handle

<v Speaker 1>your business on Raw. I'm going to go be champion

<v Speaker 1>on SmackDown. And EO said, I couldn't really hear what

<v Speaker 1>she said, but she was very sad. Ria was very sad.

<v Speaker 1>I was very sad. Usually SmackDown is the show where

<v Speaker 1>everybody was all depressed. We had a little bit of

<v Speaker 1>that on Raw tonight. So as Rio was walking away,

<v Speaker 1>we see Live Morgan just happens to be chilling on

<v Speaker 1>top of one of the equipment cases and she sees

<v Speaker 1>Rio walk by, and she made a comment to her.

<v Speaker 1>She said, see you around, and Rhea said she was

<v Speaker 1>looking forward to it, a nice little nod to their

<v Speaker 1>past feud. And now both of them are world champions,

<v Speaker 1>going their separate ways. And so at nearly ten thirty PM,

<v Speaker 1>and this is normally a two and a half not

<v Speaker 1>even a two and a half hour show. There are

<v Speaker 1>weeks where Raw's over at ten, twenty, ten, twenty four,

<v Speaker 1>but It's nearly ten thirty pm Eastern time, and an

<v Speaker 1>suv pulls up to the arena outside and look who

<v Speaker 1>decided to grace us with his presence. It is the

<v Speaker 1>world heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns, late arriving here to the

<v Speaker 1>building and he exits the vehicle. He walks through the

<v Speaker 1>back to Gorilla and he encounters his cousins. The Ussos

<v Speaker 1>are just standing around waiting for him, and he goes

<v Speaker 1>to enter by himself. He stops, he thinks about it,

<v Speaker 1>and he invites his cousins to join him, so the

<v Speaker 1>Usos come out with him. Roman, by the way, is

<v Speaker 1>back to his og tribal Chief theme, which is the

<v Speaker 1>better theme song. I'm glad he went back to it, or,

<v Speaker 1>as I call it, his heel music. So he made

<v Speaker 1>his way out to the ring with the Ussos, but

<v Speaker 1>first they snuck in one last commercial break. Tell all

<v Speaker 1>your friends that on the flip side of this break,

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns is going to speak and he's going to

<v Speaker 1>ask everybody to acknowledge him. So they come back and

<v Speaker 1>he's in the ring, and he said he was going

<v Speaker 1>to keep it simple and just talk about the future.

<v Speaker 1>But then he ran into his cousins, and it makes

<v Speaker 1>sense that they discuss some family business first. He said,

<v Speaker 1>I miss this, and Jay said yee. He misses having

<v Speaker 1>their full trust, He misses having their full respect and

<v Speaker 1>their love and their admiration. He misses doing business with them.

<v Speaker 1>Separated and scattered. They're weak cm punk and people like

<v Speaker 1>him can run their mouth and disrespect them when they're separated.

<v Speaker 1>Some rapper from the nineties running runs his mouth to

<v Speaker 1>Jay he's talking about Cameron, says, Jay's got washed wrappers

<v Speaker 1>running their mouths to him. You know why. That's because

<v Speaker 1>they're separated. That's not them together. They have the power.

<v Speaker 1>Nobody can touch them. They ran this business for four

<v Speaker 1>years straight. He's not asking them to serve him, He's

<v Speaker 1>asking them to be his blood and stand with him.

<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, man, Roman is still manipulating his family.

<v Speaker 1>This guy hasn't changed the lick playing mind games with them.

<v Speaker 1>We need to be back together, of course, because he's

<v Speaker 1>got a championship again. So now he's got to do

<v Speaker 1>everything in his power to make sure he doesn't lose

<v Speaker 1>the title. He has to insulate himself from any and

<v Speaker 1>all potential conflicts and challengers and people that may be

<v Speaker 1>gunning for him, and so I need backup. I need

<v Speaker 1>you guys with me. You're my blood. Basically, they need

<v Speaker 1>to be his shield. They're just too stupid to realize it.

<v Speaker 1>So Jimmy says, I speak for my brother when I

<v Speaker 1>say this, Roman will always be their tribal chief. They

<v Speaker 1>the twos and we the ones. So Jimmy threw the

<v Speaker 1>mic down. He and Jay threw the ones up to

<v Speaker 1>the sky and they stood beside Roman. And at this

<v Speaker 1>point we hear Jacob Fatu's music. So now things are

<v Speaker 1>getting interesting. Fat Tu makes his way down to the ring.

<v Speaker 1>He's got a mic in his hand. Roman says, it's

<v Speaker 1>been a while since the last time I saw you.

<v Speaker 1>There can be only a couple of reasons why you

<v Speaker 1>would come out here. I have to assume it's to

<v Speaker 1>acknowledge me. Fat two says, Nah, that ain't it. Well,

<v Speaker 1>then I guess it's because you want this talking about

<v Speaker 1>the World Heavyweight Championship, and Jacob says, I don't want

<v Speaker 1>that title. I need that title, and Roman has this

<v Speaker 1>just annoyed look on his face. Jacob says he's not

<v Speaker 1>out here to be tribal chief, but he needs every

<v Speaker 1>thing that the tribal chief has. He needs the shoe deal,

<v Speaker 1>he needs the private jets, he needs that rolex, he

<v Speaker 1>needs more vehicles, he needs a bigger house. He has

<v Speaker 1>to put his kids into better schools, and he'll do

<v Speaker 1>anything for his family, even if he has to go through.

<v Speaker 1>Roman goes a backlash. He's leveling up his household, and

<v Speaker 1>Roman is going to know that Jacob Fatu is all

<v Speaker 1>gas and no breaks. And there are chants of fatu

<v Speaker 1>from the crowd. So Roman says, I agree with you.

<v Speaker 1>I want all those things for you too. Maybe you

<v Speaker 1>can beat me. But if you can beat me, can

<v Speaker 1>you handle the burden of this title? He says. But

<v Speaker 1>on the other side, if you can't beat me, can

<v Speaker 1>you handle the burden of having to acknowledge me? Says,

<v Speaker 1>understand this. I think the air up there right, this

<v Speaker 1>rarefied air that he's in, this is the top of

<v Speaker 1>the mountain. So he's going to give him the rest

<v Speaker 1>of the week to think about it. He's not saying yes,

<v Speaker 1>he's not saying no, but he's not sure that Jacob

<v Speaker 1>is ready. So he'll see Jacob next week. On raw

<v Speaker 1>little Cousin, and on that note, after calling him little cousin,

<v Speaker 1>they left the ring, and that is how they went

<v Speaker 1>off the air. First of all, getting Jacob on Raw

<v Speaker 1>is a dub as far as I'm concerned. I'm a

<v Speaker 1>big Jacob Fatu guy. He did you know? He did

<v Speaker 1>a lot in recent months outside of the little break

<v Speaker 1>he took on SmackDown, he feuded with a few different people,

<v Speaker 1>and now it feels like, okay, you know some of

<v Speaker 1>his family, his cousins now are on this show. He

<v Speaker 1>has not been on Raw officially. He'll have new faces

<v Speaker 1>to work with and he can be at or near

<v Speaker 1>the top of the car. This is a good spot

<v Speaker 1>for him to be in. They have largely kept him

<v Speaker 1>and Roman apart for the most part since Jacob signed,

<v Speaker 1>and so now the idea that not only are we

<v Speaker 1>going to get a match between them, but this is

<v Speaker 1>probably going to be the main event. I'm assuming Cody

<v Speaker 1>will not even be defending his title at Backlash. This

<v Speaker 1>is very likely gonna be the main event of Backlash

<v Speaker 1>on May ninth. So they're gonna have the chance to

<v Speaker 1>go out there and they're gonna get a good time.

<v Speaker 1>Because look, if anybody's not gonna be short changed, it's

<v Speaker 1>gonna be Roman reigns. They're gonna have plenty of time

<v Speaker 1>to go out there and have a great match, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm very much looking forward to it. The question is

<v Speaker 1>how does it end? Where do you go at the

<v Speaker 1>end of that match. Are we looking at a one

<v Speaker 1>and done? Are we looking at a situation where at

<v Speaker 1>the end of all of this, Jacob acknowledges him because

<v Speaker 1>he's part of the family, he's part of the bloodline.

<v Speaker 1>He falls in line. Roman has Jacob, He's got Jimmy,

<v Speaker 1>he's got Jay. It's the blood line all over again,

<v Speaker 1>only instead of Solo Sokoa, we have Jacob fought too.

<v Speaker 1>That doesn't really appeal to me, even the idea of

<v Speaker 1>like Jay Fatu being part of a group that he

<v Speaker 1>it's almost like he's back to the whole dynamic with

<v Speaker 1>him and Solo Sokoa where he's got his hands together,

<v Speaker 1>like you know, I love you Solo, Like we don't

<v Speaker 1>need to go back to that version of Jacob. If anything,

<v Speaker 1>Jacob should be a leader of his own crew. And

<v Speaker 1>maybe that could be a possibility. Right, Maybe at the

<v Speaker 1>end of all this, the usos they're not so dumb,

<v Speaker 1>they see what's going on here. Maybe they end up

<v Speaker 1>aligning with Jacob Fatu. There's different ways you can go

<v Speaker 1>with it, but it's still it's still the bloodline. So

<v Speaker 1>I like Jacob being included. If he wasn't included, it

<v Speaker 1>would be very hard for me to really get excited

<v Speaker 1>about this. But you know, him being a part of this,

<v Speaker 1>to me, it offers just enough of a different element

<v Speaker 1>that I'm curious to see where it goes. The thing

<v Speaker 1>that I'm happy about is that we are going to

<v Speaker 1>get to see Roman more often. I don't know how

<v Speaker 1>often he'll be wrestling, because not like I'm expecting him

<v Speaker 1>to be working matches on Raw two or three times

<v Speaker 1>a month, but just having him on the show, having

<v Speaker 1>him present, having him in segments on the show, instead

<v Speaker 1>of having an absentee world champion, which if that was

<v Speaker 1>going to be the case, that the worst decision they

<v Speaker 1>could have made was to put a world title back

<v Speaker 1>on him. But now that he has said he'll be

<v Speaker 1>here through the summer, we'll get to see him work

<v Speaker 1>with a few different people. Maybe he drops the belt

<v Speaker 1>to Gunther at Summer Slim, maybe he drops the belt

<v Speaker 1>to Oba at SummerSlam. Those are two big matches that

<v Speaker 1>you can build to those are two big matches that

<v Speaker 1>I'm excited thinking about. Especially Roman and Oba would be

<v Speaker 1>to me anyway more interesting than Roman and Gunther would be.

<v Speaker 1>But Roman and Gunther would be a fresh match too.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, we saw them at the end of the

<v Speaker 1>Royal Rumble this year for a few minutes, but they've

<v Speaker 1>never wrestled before right to my knowledge. So the biggest

<v Speaker 1>takeaway from me from Raw tonight is that they tried

<v Speaker 1>to put a fresh coat of paint on things. Where

<v Speaker 1>a week ago Cmpunk really was the top star on

<v Speaker 1>Monday Night Raw, and now it is very clear Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reigns is the top star on Monday Night Raw and

<v Speaker 1>he's going to be around. And now you've moved Jacob

<v Speaker 1>Fatu over to Monday Night Raw seemingly cee im Punk.

<v Speaker 1>It looks like he may be headed for Fridays. We

<v Speaker 1>know Rhea is there's a realignment going on, which is good.

<v Speaker 1>I think coming out of WrestleMania you should have something

<v Speaker 1>of a realignment with some of these shows. But there

<v Speaker 1>are certain names from NXT who wire overdue for a

<v Speaker 1>call up. Ricky Saints, I think you can move him

<v Speaker 1>over to Friday nights. Blake Monroe should already be on

<v Speaker 1>Friday nights. J C. Jaane is the one who I'm

<v Speaker 1>pretty confident she's going to be on television very soon

<v Speaker 1>on probably Fridays. So we'll see what other names. Joe

<v Speaker 1>Hendry I mentioned him Ethan Page is here. I like

<v Speaker 1>these moves. It's a welcome change. It just freshens things

<v Speaker 1>up a little bit. You know, you can't just run

<v Speaker 1>with the same players in the same feud, same matches,

<v Speaker 1>over and over and over again and keep things fresh

<v Speaker 1>and interesting. You know, you just can't do that. So

<v Speaker 1>that was my big takeaway from this show. It wasn't

<v Speaker 1>like we had a lot of banger matches tonight or anything,

<v Speaker 1>but they have set the table now for what will

<v Speaker 1>hopefully be an interesting spring here on Raw because WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>is over. All the hooplah, all the excitement around WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>it's over and the hardest part of the year. It's

<v Speaker 1>really two things. You have this post Mania hangover where

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania is over and you have to now you're in

<v Speaker 1>rematch mode, but you also have to start some new

<v Speaker 1>stories with some new people, and like May and June,

<v Speaker 1>those aren't like the biggest times of year and then

<v Speaker 1>you also have the fall. But I think of that

<v Speaker 1>holiday period post war games, where it's like a dead

<v Speaker 1>zone typically, why John Cena wanted to have his retirement

<v Speaker 1>match in December. It's like nothing is going on in December.

<v Speaker 1>Why don't we have my retirement match in December? So

<v Speaker 1>this is one of those times a year where you've

<v Speaker 1>got to try something different, you know, and try to

<v Speaker 1>create an element of excitement around these shows where it

<v Speaker 1>can feel very dead, you know, this time of year.

<v Speaker 1>So I enjoyed the show for the most part. No

<v Speaker 1>Twitter poll to show because I, for whatever reason, I

<v Speaker 1>can't log in anymore within obs and so the Twitter

<v Speaker 1>poll is up if you would like to vote. I

<v Speaker 1>just can't show them anymore. But I will tell you

<v Speaker 1>that the pole is currently sitting at eighty two percent

<v Speaker 1>thumbs up and eighteen percent thumbs down for tonight's show.

<v Speaker 1>So it seems like most people enjoyed Monday Night Raw tonight,

<v Speaker 1>which is good as long as you give me something

<v Speaker 1>that I can either get excited about or something to

<v Speaker 1>talk about. I don't want to sit here and be like, man,

<v Speaker 1>this was a fucking bore. Those are the worst shows.

<v Speaker 1>Go to your super chats. What did you think of raw?

<v Speaker 1>What do you think of some of these roster moves?

<v Speaker 1>Who would you move around? By the way, we are

<v Speaker 1>currently sitting at six hundred and ninety likes. We need

<v Speaker 1>seven hundred. Seven hundred is the goal for be the booker? Yes,

<v Speaker 1>hashtag get solo excited. Get me excited, That's all I ask.

<v Speaker 1>Get me excited. Hey, Joseph Stewart, you were missed this

<v Speaker 1>weekend or Wrestlemedia. It's good to see you. It's good

<v Speaker 1>to have you back. He's got a few questions. Happy

<v Speaker 1>Monday to you two. There's a buyer sell Undertaker versus

<v Speaker 1>Mankind boiler room brawl at Summer Slam or Undertaker versus Mankind.

<v Speaker 1>Helen a Cell, King of the Ring ninety eight, Well, obviously,

<v Speaker 1>I mean King of the Ring ninety eight is the

<v Speaker 1>more memorable spectacle. I enjoyed the boiler room brawl. I'm

<v Speaker 1>actually a fan of that match, but I gotta go.

<v Speaker 1>Helen a Cell says, it's official. Scarlett Johanson will be

<v Speaker 1>playing Harvey Dent's wife in The Batman Part two, and

<v Speaker 1>she could be rewritten as the fantasm. I rely on

<v Speaker 1>Joseph for all my Batman updates. I haven't been paying

<v Speaker 1>attention to what's been going on with the production on

<v Speaker 1>that movie. Says that Charles Dance is an talks to

<v Speaker 1>join the Batman too. Is Harvey Den's father. I should

<v Speaker 1>probably see the first one. Why did David Flair not

<v Speaker 1>become a big star in WCW because he wasn't very good?

<v Speaker 1>Are you a fan of liv Morgan's new song and

<v Speaker 1>music video? I don't. I don't mind the new song.

<v Speaker 1>It's fine, It's fine. Do you remember Macho Man having

<v Speaker 1>a feud against Dennis Rodman in WCW. I think it

<v Speaker 1>was over Gorgeous George. Yeah. I think that was actually

<v Speaker 1>one of the last, if not the last pay per

<v Speaker 1>view matches that Savage ever had in WCW. I think

<v Speaker 1>it was. I think it might have been his singles

<v Speaker 1>match anyway, I think that was the last pay per

<v Speaker 1>view match he had there. I also remember that match

<v Speaker 1>being garbage. It was not a very good match. Were

<v Speaker 1>you a fan of Dominic Mysterios entrance at WrestleMania, Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>it was cool coming out with the Lucha mask on

<v Speaker 1>the throne. Wasn't the best entrance of the weekend or anything,

<v Speaker 1>but it was fun. It was Rick Flair against Eric

<v Speaker 1>Bischoff and WCW based off their real life feud at

<v Speaker 1>the time. Were you a fan of the feud? It

<v Speaker 1>was very much a case of art imitating life. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>they did not like each other. Me personally, I didn't

<v Speaker 1>really care for the feud. There was no real payoff

<v Speaker 1>to it. We were never going to get a good

<v Speaker 1>payoff to it. You know. We had that one memorable

<v Speaker 1>segment where Flair came back in like September of ninety eight.

<v Speaker 1>You know, fire me. I'm already fired, fire me. He

<v Speaker 1>went on that rant. That was entertaining. But beyond that, nah,

<v Speaker 1>I'm not really a fan of that feud. Did you

<v Speaker 1>see Mike Myers appearance at a tribute show for Eddie

<v Speaker 1>Murphy this past weekend? I was indisposed this past weekend.

<v Speaker 1>I was in full wrestling modes, so no, I didn't

<v Speaker 1>see it. There wasn't much I was really paying attention

<v Speaker 1>to outside of wrestling this weekend. Do you remember when

<v Speaker 1>Master P appeared on WCW. Yes, Master P and the

<v Speaker 1>No Limit Soldiers. I remember that. Well, what should WCW

<v Speaker 1>have done in nineteen ninety nine to keep people interested

<v Speaker 1>in the product at the time. I think by then

<v Speaker 1>it was too late. But what they should have done

<v Speaker 1>is utilize their established stars to really set up the

<v Speaker 1>future and try to create some new stars that could

<v Speaker 1>carry them for years beyond. Because Hogan and Nash and

<v Speaker 1>people like that, they were not going to do it. Hogan, Nash,

<v Speaker 1>Luger and they just didn't do it. They didn't do

<v Speaker 1>a You had enough job of creating stars for the future,

<v Speaker 1>and that was one of the reasons they died. What

<v Speaker 1>are your thoughts on Sid Vicius's son Gunner talking about

<v Speaker 1>how his dad was honored at the Hall of Fame.

<v Speaker 1>I think that he was right in a lot of

<v Speaker 1>what he said, and I'm going to talk more extensively

<v Speaker 1>about that tomorrow on the Uncrowned Wrestling Show. I'm going

<v Speaker 1>to have my full thoughts on the Hall of Fame

<v Speaker 1>as part of the show tomorrow. Have a blessed day,

<v Speaker 1>as safe day, a wonderful day, and a great week.

<v Speaker 1>You two, Joseph, thank you for the questions. I appreciate it.

<v Speaker 1>It's good to see you. Crypto and Poker Solo. In

<v Speaker 1>my opinion, Mania should be in Vegas every year. I

<v Speaker 1>think you may be a little bit biased in that

<v Speaker 1>though it should not be. Although I always enjoy my

<v Speaker 1>time there, I might enjoy it more if I gambled,

<v Speaker 1>But I don't GMB World champion before Braun Obo Will

<v Speaker 1>but Will fought too as well. Will fought to be

<v Speaker 1>a world champion before Braun Breaker. Hmm, I'm gonna say no.

<v Speaker 1>Mark Kwan nineteen seventy six. Hey, Solo, I had a

<v Speaker 1>medical appointment last Thursday. It was unable to attend the

<v Speaker 1>Hog Show. I hope you guys will return to Vegas soon. Also,

<v Speaker 1>because you see Wendy Chu having success on the main roster, well,

<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry you missed it. You missed the hell of

<v Speaker 1>a show. And no, I don't think with that character. No,

<v Speaker 1>I don't think Wendy Chew is going to have much

<v Speaker 1>luck on the main roster. I don't think we're going

<v Speaker 1>to necessarily see Wendy Chew on the main roster. Dry Chicken,

<v Speaker 1>Smokey and Craig from Friday tells Cody Rhodes, Damn, that

<v Speaker 1>was my first thought when I saw him take the

<v Speaker 1>glasses off and I saw what his eye look like.

<v Speaker 1>Mark Shapiro and Tko have full WWE creative control Triple

<v Speaker 1>H and his team reap what they sew. Shapiro wants

<v Speaker 1>more is more, not less is more. Yeah, I mean

<v Speaker 1>this is not news. I mean we know they again,

<v Speaker 1>people they hear these things and they misread them and

<v Speaker 1>they think, Oh, they're in the room, they're in the

<v Speaker 1>writer's room. They're submitting ideas weekly on what. No, that's

<v Speaker 1>not what they're doing. That's not what he means. We

<v Speaker 1>already know that TKO has control over everything. The Winston

<v Speaker 1>Slit Roman has eleven WrestleMania Maine events. How many were great?

<v Speaker 1>Several of them? Actually, thirty one was great, thirty he

<v Speaker 1>wasn't at thirty six though, right. Thirty one was great,

<v Speaker 1>thirty seven was great, thirty nine was great, forty was great,

<v Speaker 1>forty one was great, and forty two was great. He's

<v Speaker 1>had a lot of great matches at WrestleMania. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know if that was supposed to be a gotcha for him,

<v Speaker 1>but he's had a lot of great WrestleMania matches. Devin

<v Speaker 1>from NJ did you see the video of Punk smacking

<v Speaker 1>the phone out of the fans hand? Was he out

<v Speaker 1>of line or do fans need to get a life?

<v Speaker 1>I think these fans need to get a life. I

<v Speaker 1>probably would have done the same thing that he did.

<v Speaker 1>Chris O'Neil. Do we get a new bloodline member other

<v Speaker 1>than maybe fa too, I'm gonna say no, San Juan Wolf.

<v Speaker 1>Every time I see the Americanos on my TV screen,

<v Speaker 1>I physically and mentally deflate. For all that is holy,

<v Speaker 1>I wish they would keep that shit on Triple A.

<v Speaker 1>Outside of that, I enjoyed Monday Night Raw. Were they

<v Speaker 1>on the show tonight? They had to be during the

<v Speaker 1>commercial BREAKDN, I didn't see them tonight, Aaron says, looks

<v Speaker 1>like we won't find out who attacked Jacob. Yeah, it

<v Speaker 1>looks like we're not going to find out for sure.

<v Speaker 1>The story has been abandoned. Retro koh random thought Punk

<v Speaker 1>was completely justified smacking that creeper fans phone good on him. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I would have done the same thing. They were creeping

<v Speaker 1>on my wife. He's lucky you didn't do worse to him.

<v Speaker 1>He could have shoved him on his ass. Uh, Nico,

<v Speaker 1>thank you for the pair of super chat, says La Knight,

<v Speaker 1>poor bastard. Yeah, I mean, what else is there left

<v Speaker 1>to say on that? Or Whizzle? The Green Shirt crew

<v Speaker 1>were representing tonight. Yeah, I saw those green shirt guys

<v Speaker 1>in the front row. It was blinding. Looked like they're

<v Speaker 1>multiplying plus ultra. Adrian been a fan since twenty fourteen.

<v Speaker 1>Love everything you do, Solo, Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed, Adrian.

<v Speaker 1>There's been a lot of content lately. It would suck

<v Speaker 1>if you didn't enjoy it, Alex says brother Solo. If

<v Speaker 1>those Mark Shapiro rumors are true regarding TKO having full

<v Speaker 1>creative control, then this company is cooked. They're not in

<v Speaker 1>the writer's room again. People I think are taking this

<v Speaker 1>a little bit out of context. I don't think we

<v Speaker 1>really learned anything there that we didn't already know. Chicago

<v Speaker 1>for MBK. With the new call ups coming for Ron's SmackDown,

<v Speaker 1>who do you think are the most high profile names

<v Speaker 1>that could get the acts in the coming weeks. I

<v Speaker 1>don't really want to speculate on whom I get fired

<v Speaker 1>and lose their job. You know, we do tend to

<v Speaker 1>have spring cleaning around this time of year. I would

<v Speaker 1>just say if you are somebody who and frankly even

<v Speaker 1>people who might be injured, because it's not above this

<v Speaker 1>company to fire people when they're out on the injured list.

<v Speaker 1>But if you're somebody who's not being utilized right now,

<v Speaker 1>and there are a lot of people who would fall

<v Speaker 1>under that category. If you're sitting around backstage and catering,

<v Speaker 1>if they don't have anything for you, if you're laying

<v Speaker 1>around on crates, I would be worried because that just

<v Speaker 1>means you're expendable. Jeremy Rose looking forward to Roman versus

<v Speaker 1>some fresh opponents on Raw. Jacob Gunther, penta Oba even

<v Speaker 1>in La Night program again. Yeah boy, you guys really

<v Speaker 1>have it in for La Night, don't you. You're putting

<v Speaker 1>him in there with Roman reigns. He's gonna be in

<v Speaker 1>there with Gunther soon. Let him savor the win over

<v Speaker 1>I Show Speed. Let's just let him enjoy his moment

<v Speaker 1>while he can. Larry Jester should Oba win a mid

<v Speaker 1>title or main event gold first main event him winning

<v Speaker 1>the Intercontinental title does nothing for him. Aaron with the

<v Speaker 1>four ninety nine EO was getting all emotional like she

<v Speaker 1>won't see Rhea again since she's on SmackDown. Meanwhile, she's

<v Speaker 1>been showing up on SmackDown for weeks with no explanation.

<v Speaker 1>It's all very stupid people go back and forth every

<v Speaker 1>week without repercussions. If she was missing Ria that badly,

<v Speaker 1>she could pop up on SmackDown and Nick Aldus would

<v Speaker 1>probably just wave and say, hey, good to see you,

<v Speaker 1>and go about doing whatever it is that he does.

<v Speaker 1>I still have no idea what he does on that show.

<v Speaker 1>On SmackDown most weeks, seventy five percent of the card

<v Speaker 1>is not sad he's making matches during the show. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know what this man does over the course of

<v Speaker 1>a day. Fritz Burgeta with a nine ninety nine. I

<v Speaker 1>rewatched the main event from last night, and I have

<v Speaker 1>to say that that was a legacy defining match for

<v Speaker 1>Punk and my second favorite Roman Reigns match, only behind

<v Speaker 1>the forty one with Cody. Five stars. It's a great match.

<v Speaker 1>William Rabb says Punk stayed on Raw after he was

<v Speaker 1>feuding with Sina last year for the WWE title. I

<v Speaker 1>think Fought two will do the same with Roman and

<v Speaker 1>still be on SmackDown after this few Well, that would

<v Speaker 1>be very stupid. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just

<v Speaker 1>saying that would be very stupid. Aaron, who do you

<v Speaker 1>think would be the heel with Cody and Punk. Are

<v Speaker 1>you asking me who I think the fans would take

<v Speaker 1>is the heel or who wwe would book is the heel.

<v Speaker 1>I think the best way to approach that match would

<v Speaker 1>be to just leave them alone exactly as they are now,

<v Speaker 1>let the fans choose, and the fans I think would

<v Speaker 1>choose Punk. To be honest, the more I think about it,

<v Speaker 1>like if one was going to be the heel, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>I could take it either way. Honestly, I think Heal

<v Speaker 1>Punk would be fun, but so would Heal Cody when

<v Speaker 1>the day eventually comes that he leans into it or turns. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>everybody loves to talk about Homeland or Cody. I think

<v Speaker 1>either one is a heel would be a lot of fun.

<v Speaker 1>But do I think that one of them will absolutely

<v Speaker 1>be a heel? No? It would probably be more likely

<v Speaker 1>Babyface against Babyface, but the fans would would pick sides

<v Speaker 1>as they usually do. Bace Bears thank you for the

<v Speaker 1>four to twenty Duff's VIDs. With a four ninety nine

<v Speaker 1>What did the gardener say when she planted the wrong flowers?

<v Speaker 1>Oopsie Daisy Fabian Garcia with a five wrestle Minia nine

<v Speaker 1>two in Revolution twenty twenty five, the definition of main

<v Speaker 1>event deciding opinion of a show entirely. One made an

<v Speaker 1>okay show great the other one made a great show. Eh,

<v Speaker 1>my god, was that Moxley and Copeland, what a fucking

<v Speaker 1>terrible metch that was? Oh my god. I still have

<v Speaker 1>people to this day trying to convince themselves that they're

<v Speaker 1>right and I'm wrong when I say that that Wrestle

<v Speaker 1>Minni at thirty six match at the Performance Center with

<v Speaker 1>Edgen Orton was anything other than just boring shit. Still,

<v Speaker 1>I have people trying to convince me I'm wrong. It's amazing.

<v Speaker 1>Derek J speaks with a nine ninety nine. I would

<v Speaker 1>not be so quick to assume Fatu is on Raw permanently.

<v Speaker 1>In twenty twenty four Smackdowns, Randy Orton based Row's gunther

<v Speaker 1>on a pl e, and after Randy lost, he went

<v Speaker 1>right back to SmackDown. They have set a precedent for this.

<v Speaker 1>Bas Beer says Roman's original theme is perfect. Otc Remix sucked. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>the OG theme is far superior. TGN four to twenty

<v Speaker 1>for the four to twenty wrong FA two versus Rains

<v Speaker 1>sounds hype. Aaron says, Couldzilla show up at Backlash? To

<v Speaker 1>even the odds Now and Mister Wrestling with the four

<v Speaker 1>ninety nine. If you were running WWE, which would you

<v Speaker 1>choose a legit brand split for a one to two

<v Speaker 1>week break after Mania to recharge the batteries. I would

<v Speaker 1>take a short break. That's what I would do. It

<v Speaker 1>might be bad for business for me, but as a fan,

<v Speaker 1>I think that that's the option. I would choose. Nothing

<v Speaker 1>wrong with a quick break. Seven hundred and forty two likes.

<v Speaker 1>The goal was seven hundred, so we smashed the goal. Mactub.

<v Speaker 1>How big of a drawing megastar was Flair? Flair was

<v Speaker 1>not a megastar. I think he drew very well as

<v Speaker 1>the traveling Champion in the eighties, but by no means

<v Speaker 1>was he ever a megastar. Even he admits that that's

<v Speaker 1>why he would always say Hogan was the best. Hogan

<v Speaker 1>couldn't wrestle as good as Flair, but Flair knew like

<v Speaker 1>Hogan was a much bigger box office attraction sold a

<v Speaker 1>lot more tickets than he did. Alex says, there's two

<v Speaker 1>pls and a Saturday Night's main event in May. Do

<v Speaker 1>you think that's too much? I do. I didn't even

<v Speaker 1>realize that was the case until you just mentioned it.

<v Speaker 1>But that's true. We had backlash on May ninth, we

<v Speaker 1>have or May eighth. May ninth. Saturday Night's main event

<v Speaker 1>is the twenty third. It's the week before Clash in Italy,

<v Speaker 1>which I think is on the thirty first, and we

<v Speaker 1>have double or nothing on the twenty fourth. That's a lot.

<v Speaker 1>The mact better overall performer Roman or Triple H. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>it's all in the eye of the beholder. Neither one

<v Speaker 1>of them are my favorite, so I'm not really married

<v Speaker 1>to one over the other. But as far as like

<v Speaker 1>the better overall performer, I would go probably Triple H.

<v Speaker 1>Cameron Spencer. Royce Key should join the New Day and

<v Speaker 1>be the powerhouse of the group like Biggie Langston. Wow,

<v Speaker 1>he still has the Langston in there. This is going

<v Speaker 1>to old school now, not even Big E. It's Big E.

<v Speaker 1>Langston says. That would be dope. Are you down for that? No?

<v Speaker 1>I am not. I don't like that idea at all.

<v Speaker 1>I think it would be beneath Royce Keys. I think

<v Speaker 1>Royce Keys is I think the potential that he has

<v Speaker 1>is far beyond just throwing him into the New Day.

<v Speaker 1>I just I'm sorry, I'm not a fan of that idea.

<v Speaker 1>Aaron says, which WrestleMania was better this year or last year?

<v Speaker 1>I have to go last year. Probably this was the

<v Speaker 1>first time where WrestleMania really it was so over commercialized

<v Speaker 1>this year at the expense of the actual matches in

<v Speaker 1>a way that no WrestleMania before it was ever that

<v Speaker 1>bad in terms in terms of that, it really did

<v Speaker 1>feel like this was the first time they truly, as

<v Speaker 1>far as WrestleMania goes, where they truly sold their soul.

<v Speaker 1>It's like when Austin sold his soul to McMahon at

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania X seven. Uh. This was this was the year

<v Speaker 1>where it kind of hit you right between the eyes

<v Speaker 1>that t ko as far as WrestleMania goes, they officially

<v Speaker 1>sold their soul. And in terms of the matches and

<v Speaker 1>the stories at WrestleMania, they don't mean nothing anymore. They

<v Speaker 1>don't mean a damn thing. That's sad. Navy says Lesner

<v Speaker 1>should return wearing the salmon jacket. I can't even in

<v Speaker 1>my head picture him wearing like a sport coat or

<v Speaker 1>a suit. The Crazy Men eighty eight Royce Keys, Seamus

<v Speaker 1>versus Sena Royce Keys Shamous versus sena Esquire title. What

<v Speaker 1>what does that even mean? I'm trying to decode this.

<v Speaker 1>I have no idea what the hidden message is in here.

<v Speaker 1>Power Spying Games Top five l O l TNA moments. Dude,

<v Speaker 1>we'll be here, We'll be here for days. I can't

<v Speaker 1>answer that. We'll be here, We'll be I'll give you,

<v Speaker 1>I'll give you the Probably the biggest one is Dixie

<v Speaker 1>Carter talking shit about the head of their own television

<v Speaker 1>network in an email. And I'm trying to remember if

<v Speaker 1>she I think she actually copied them unknowingly on the email,

<v Speaker 1>but they found out about it. I think they were

<v Speaker 1>on the actual email chain, and not long after that,

<v Speaker 1>I do believe they were gone from Spike TV. So

<v Speaker 1>there may be no bigger LOLTNA moment than that supersedes

<v Speaker 1>all of the other ones. EJ Slip. What do you

<v Speaker 1>think of my MVPs by decade? Seventies, Race eighties, Flair nineties,

<v Speaker 1>Brett two thousand's Angle, twenty ten's, Brian twenty twenties, Cody

<v Speaker 1>Race in the seventies. That sounds like a documentary. Uh.

<v Speaker 1>Harley Race as the MVP of the nineteen seventies, he'd

<v Speaker 1>be up there for sure. I'm just I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>I I don't know, man. I think of Bruno, I

<v Speaker 1>think of Terry Funk. That wasn't my era anyway, So

<v Speaker 1>I can't really say one way or the other. Eighties

<v Speaker 1>eighties is Hogan or Flair. It really depends on the

<v Speaker 1>kind of wrestling you grew up on. I think if

<v Speaker 1>you grew up not watching WWF and you were more

<v Speaker 1>into like mid Atlantic n WA, Florida Territorial Right Crocket Promotions,

<v Speaker 1>Flair was the guy or Dusty. Some people might say Dusty.

<v Speaker 1>If you were watching WWF, the answer was Hull Cogan

<v Speaker 1>if you were watching both. It's really a matter of

<v Speaker 1>personal taste. Like when you say MVP, what do you

<v Speaker 1>mean by that in terms of overall popularity, in terms

<v Speaker 1>of tickets sold, in terms of business you're generated, the

<v Speaker 1>answer is Hull Cogan. It's pretty simple. In terms of

<v Speaker 1>match output, probably Flair. Flair would be the guy in

<v Speaker 1>the nineties, you know, I mean, I'm as big of

<v Speaker 1>a Brett guy as you'll find. But again I go

<v Speaker 1>back to, like, what's the criteria here? Look at the

<v Speaker 1>decade that Hogan had in the nineties. He was down

<v Speaker 1>from the peak of his popularity in the eighties, still

<v Speaker 1>very popular, went to another promotion and that as part

<v Speaker 1>of this nWo Angle went heel and got a whole

<v Speaker 1>new lease on life and was a big part of

<v Speaker 1>why that company became number one for a few years.

<v Speaker 1>So there's an argument to be made. Hogan was eighties

<v Speaker 1>and nineties. Some people might say Sean Michaels, he was

<v Speaker 1>the wrestler of the nineties. Two thousands, he says, Angle, Yeah, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>and it was between two different companies too. Twenty ten's

<v Speaker 1>Brian Yeah. I mean, I probably wouldn't disagree on that,

<v Speaker 1>but like I do wonder if Punk had stuck around,

<v Speaker 1>you know, if he would have been the answer to

<v Speaker 1>that question in twenty twenties. Cody, Cody or Roman to

<v Speaker 1>one of those two, probably Roman, but it's I think

<v Speaker 1>it's one of those two for sure. Aaron says SNA

<v Speaker 1>for the two thousands in ring, Angle was two thousand. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>So again to the point that I was just trying

<v Speaker 1>to make what's the criteria? Sena would be another good choice. Absolutely,

<v Speaker 1>the crazy Man. Seamus beat Seine or rather quick upon

<v Speaker 1>being on the main roster in shocking fashion, but protected

<v Speaker 1>all involved. Keys can do the same against Cody and Ray. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>well that makes more sense the way the super chat

<v Speaker 1>was written. I'm like, I don't know what this means. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I think Royce Key should get a big push on

<v Speaker 1>some backdown just you know, make him a dominant force

<v Speaker 1>on that show. I'm not saying you have to belt

<v Speaker 1>him up right now, but you can keep him very

<v Speaker 1>strong and I think he could be a key key

<v Speaker 1>player on that brand. Absolutely. What did Flair lack to

<v Speaker 1>be a megastar? He didn't have the big national push

<v Speaker 1>that Hogan had, and he also did not have the

<v Speaker 1>superhuman physique that I think was very appealing to the masses.

<v Speaker 1>Hogan literally, I mean he looked like something as many

<v Speaker 1>of those guys did, like Warrior. He looked like something

<v Speaker 1>out of a comic book. The way those guys were

<v Speaker 1>all gassed up. There's a reason why you look back

<v Speaker 1>at that and people used the expression larger than life,

<v Speaker 1>and Flair didn't have that. Flair had a very regular

<v Speaker 1>with the white hair and everything. He looked like an

<v Speaker 1>old man, so there was a certain physical look that

<v Speaker 1>he didn't have that those guys like Hogan did, and also, frankly,

<v Speaker 1>as charismatic as Flair was, Hogan had his own unique

<v Speaker 1>charisma and it was a kind of charisma that Flair

<v Speaker 1>didn't have. You know, he cut promos in his own way,

<v Speaker 1>and he was very charismatic in his own way. But

<v Speaker 1>just stuff like that, you know, he just wasn't He

<v Speaker 1>wasn't that same guy that would not appeal to the

<v Speaker 1>masses in the way that someone like Hogan and his

<v Speaker 1>stick would. Alex says, can you see WWE waiting on

<v Speaker 1>Orton retiring so they can induct the OBW class of

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and two together to the Hall of Fame.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think they would have put that much thought

<v Speaker 1>into it, to be honest with you. I mean, that'd

<v Speaker 1>be kind of cool if they all went in at

<v Speaker 1>the same time. But I also don't think they would

<v Speaker 1>want to put Orton and Sena in in the same

<v Speaker 1>class because they're running out of big names to induct.

<v Speaker 1>So when the time comes, Orton could headline a Hall

<v Speaker 1>of Fame class by himself. Sena will headline a Hall

<v Speaker 1>of Fame class by himself. Brock could potentially headline a

<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame class by himself. Why would you put

<v Speaker 1>them all in together at the same time. I wouldn't

<v Speaker 1>do that, Devin. If Bobby Heen and Jim Cornett and

<v Speaker 1>Paul Hayman are the three greatest managers, who would be

<v Speaker 1>number four? For one to make a mount rushmore, I'm

<v Speaker 1>inclined to say Jimmy hart Man. Jimmy, it's not just

<v Speaker 1>being a manager. Jimmy did so many different things. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>he's I don't think he gets enough credit for his

<v Speaker 1>musical contributions to WWE and w CW and as a manager,

<v Speaker 1>even going back to his days in Memphis and then

<v Speaker 1>working for Vince and then he worked in w CW.

<v Speaker 1>Represented a lot of different people used to take bumps,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm inclined to put Jimmy there. I mean, I know,

<v Speaker 1>you know, Paul Bart, Percy Pringle, He's pretty high up

<v Speaker 1>on the list. I was never like a big Gary

<v Speaker 1>Hart guy, not that I don't like him or anything.

<v Speaker 1>I just I didn't really get to see a lot

<v Speaker 1>of him. It was sort of after the fact, so

<v Speaker 1>I know, like him with Kabuki and him with like Muda,

<v Speaker 1>I didn't see a lot of him. Like in World Class.

<v Speaker 1>I put Jimmy harton that spot. All right, let's break

<v Speaker 1>into be the booker here because we smashed the goal

<v Speaker 1>and we get one round, so we got to try

<v Speaker 1>to do this the right way. Hopefully we hit a

<v Speaker 1>home run tonight. Let's find out, ladies and gentlemen, it

<v Speaker 1>is now time to be the booker. Let's see if

<v Speaker 1>we can make the magic happen tonight. We were in

<v Speaker 1>a roll last week. We had like a bunch of

<v Speaker 1>clean sweeps in a row. Hopefully we can replicate that.

<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna kick things off here, tag team, be

<v Speaker 1>the Booker, and we're gonna start with the Miss and

<v Speaker 1>Damien Sandow. Miss Dow is kicking us off against the

<v Speaker 1>team of Rob Van dam and Hook RVD and Hook

<v Speaker 1>against Misdow. That's fine, not a marquee match or anything

<v Speaker 1>like that, but two former WWE champions Hook and Damien Sandau.

<v Speaker 1>When he was doing that gimmick was fairly entertaining. I'll

<v Speaker 1>give it. I'll give it a bell. I'm feeling generous. Tonight.

<v Speaker 1>We have bird Girl. There she is with her wings.

<v Speaker 1>You know, I saw an image of Dragon Lee. He

<v Speaker 1>had these big wings made for his entrance at WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>and they didn't even air his entrance. Too many fucking

<v Speaker 1>commercials on the show. They didn't have time for this

<v Speaker 1>man's entrance. He probably God knows what he paid for him,

<v Speaker 1>because they paid for their own gear, paid to have

<v Speaker 1>these giant wings made, and then the only people that

<v Speaker 1>saw them were in the building. Unbelievable. Lyra Valkyria is

<v Speaker 1>going to step into the ring with Maurice. Oh, the

<v Speaker 1>lovely Maurice. She was a dish, still is as former

<v Speaker 1>Divas Champion Maurice by the way, Now our main event,

<v Speaker 1>all the marbles on the line here in our closing match,

<v Speaker 1>it is Tony Kahan's favorite son, the reigning ae W

<v Speaker 1>Continental Champion and former aw World Champion and WWE World Champion,

<v Speaker 1>John Moxley. Somebody's bleeding in this main event. That's my prediction.

<v Speaker 1>Somebody will bleed. John Moxley against nineteen ninety six Shawn Michaels.

<v Speaker 1>Interesting a little bit of fantasy warfare there, huh. John

<v Speaker 1>Moxley against Shawn Michaels. You know Moxley is gonna want

<v Speaker 1>him to do things in that match that Michaels is

<v Speaker 1>gonna be like, I'm not fucking doing that. It's gonna

<v Speaker 1>be like a Dean Ambrose and Brock Lasner WrestleMania all

<v Speaker 1>over again. It's gonna have all these ideas. We're gonna

<v Speaker 1>have tax We're gonna have barbed wire. Shawn's like no

<v Speaker 1>or not? H yeah, hbk ain't bleeding in nineteen ninety six.

<v Speaker 1>That ain't happening. But we got the sweep back to

<v Speaker 1>our winning ways. That's what I like to see. EJ says,

<v Speaker 1>I'm judging match quality and company value, not just popularity.

<v Speaker 1>All had great matches, were world champions and defined their decade.

<v Speaker 1>Hogan was very important to that first WrestleMania. He was

<v Speaker 1>very important to WWE. I don't know man match quality.

<v Speaker 1>I give match quality to Flair, and I'm not saying

<v Speaker 1>Flair didn't have value and he wasn't important, But I

<v Speaker 1>think Hogan defined the eighties. I mean, come on and says,

<v Speaker 1>who's doing Brock Lesner's Hall of Fame Hall of Fame speech?

<v Speaker 1>His induction speech. Paul Haman, if Brock is alive, nobody

<v Speaker 1>is accepting on his behalf other than Brock himself. Now

<v Speaker 1>Brock may go up there and speak for two minutes.

<v Speaker 1>Brock will do his own speech. The induction speech will

<v Speaker 1>be Paul Hamen. EJ says, all Japan had the Four

<v Speaker 1>Heavenly Kings in the nineties, I came up with the

<v Speaker 1>new Japan Four Guardian Kings, Tanahashi, Okada, Nakamura, and Nito.

<v Speaker 1>Do you agree? Yeah? I think that's fair. You know,

<v Speaker 1>if if God, who is it that I'm trying to

<v Speaker 1>think of. There's one of them that had left for

<v Speaker 1>many years and then came back. Shabata, That's who it was. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>Shabata was the one who left. Had Shabata stuck around,

<v Speaker 1>that might have been him. He might have been on

<v Speaker 1>that list, but I know he went away for a while. Hey, Jason,

<v Speaker 1>what's going on? Welcome to the channel. You caught us

<v Speaker 1>right at the very end because we're about to get

<v Speaker 1>out of here. Tomorrow will be a brand new installment

<v Speaker 1>the entire episode of Dynamite. I wanted to watch the

<v Speaker 1>whole thing in context, and my thoughts have changed a

<v Speaker 1>little bit from what I initially felt. Well, we'll talk

<v Speaker 1>about that on Uncrowned. That'll be tomorrow, and then of

<v Speaker 1>course Tomorrow night, brand new episode of Tuesday Night. Titan
