<v Speaker 1>Raw tonight was in Buffalo. It was in improvement over

<v Speaker 1>last week's show. Remember a couple of weeks ago, we

<v Speaker 1>had that post Summer Slam episode of Raw that was

<v Speaker 1>fucking great. It's like, how come we can't get this

<v Speaker 1>after all the ples. It had that WrestleMania post Raw

<v Speaker 1>show feeling to it, and then last week was a

<v Speaker 1>huge nosedive. I thought last week's show is actually very boring.

<v Speaker 1>Tonight's show there was certainly a lot more going on,

<v Speaker 1>and when the show was over, I enjoyed this a

<v Speaker 1>lot more than the last week's show, And in the

<v Speaker 1>closing angle, everything was built around this the entire week. Right.

<v Speaker 1>Solo Socoa lost to Jay Usso last week, and so

<v Speaker 1>tonight he was gonna serve him up. He's gonna deliver

<v Speaker 1>Solo Socoa to Roman Rains, who was back on the

<v Speaker 1>show this week. I love how every time Roman appears

<v Speaker 1>on this show, if he is in the closing segment,

<v Speaker 1>he times it just right where he pulls up to

<v Speaker 1>the building with twenty minutes left of the show, walks

<v Speaker 1>right from his car to the fucking ring. They play

<v Speaker 1>his music, he does what he needs to do, and

<v Speaker 1>he gets the hell out of there. Isn't it amazing

<v Speaker 1>how that always works? But we had him, and we

<v Speaker 1>had Solo Sokoa being brought to the ring by the usos.

<v Speaker 1>What would Solo do right or are they going to

<v Speaker 1>keep him in the bloodline for a couple of months

<v Speaker 1>and then build to a big swerve, or maybe he'll

<v Speaker 1>just spike Roman in the throat here tonight and just

<v Speaker 1>be done with the whole thing. And that's what they did.

<v Speaker 1>They were building anticipation. They were doing all the usual

<v Speaker 1>bloodline stuff. We had more Ula follows presented to each

<v Speaker 1>of the usos. These were black ones. Jacob Fatu did

<v Speaker 1>not get one. Jacob Fatu looked very upset about this.

<v Speaker 1>So that's a whole other side story that's being built

<v Speaker 1>for another day. But when it was over, Solo Socoa

<v Speaker 1>had a choice to make. When La Knight came out

<v Speaker 1>and they were holding La Night and Roman wanted him

<v Speaker 1>to spike La Night, he's not your family, were your family?

<v Speaker 1>Do what you're told? And what did he do? He

<v Speaker 1>spiked Roman instead, and everybody reacted in the way that

<v Speaker 1>the fans have been reacting generally to Solo Socoa now

<v Speaker 1>for many weeks. They chanted his name. I feel like

<v Speaker 1>we're living in an alternate dimension here where it's hard

<v Speaker 1>to believe that this is the same Solo Socoa that

<v Speaker 1>was basically poisoning SmackDown with the MFT stuff for months

<v Speaker 1>and months and month. It was like he was repelling

<v Speaker 1>me from that television show with what they had him doing.

<v Speaker 1>And now you have people chanting the man's name. You

<v Speaker 1>have him as someone that people are genuinely interested in

<v Speaker 1>seeing when Raw Go's on the air each week, and

<v Speaker 1>so he gets the big pop for it. La Night

<v Speaker 1>he got his licks in on the bloodline as well.

<v Speaker 1>The two of them left together in lockstep, side by side.

<v Speaker 1>Night's not going to be getting his crack at the

<v Speaker 1>championship for a while yet, but now he's got a friend.

<v Speaker 1>He's got an ally in Solo. Soca Solo has a

<v Speaker 1>friend in an ally in La Knight. Jacob Fatu, who

<v Speaker 1>was explicitly told by Roman Rains when he went to

<v Speaker 1>go deliver a s inspike to La Night, don't do that.

<v Speaker 1>I have this you back up off. He took the

<v Speaker 1>advice that was given to him. He backed off. As

<v Speaker 1>Roman was getting his ass kicked. He just stood there

<v Speaker 1>and did nothing. So as that story continues to build

<v Speaker 1>in the more short term, we'll have to wait and

<v Speaker 1>see when they make it official for Night in Roman,

<v Speaker 1>which I'm guessing is not happening until October, so you know,

<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of time left between now at October,

<v Speaker 1>so they're going to have to figure out how they

<v Speaker 1>want to approach this. Now, what happens with Solo? Is

<v Speaker 1>he going to go through each member of the bloodline

<v Speaker 1>one by one? He already lost to Jay last week.

<v Speaker 1>As bloodline segments go, it does as I'm describing this,

<v Speaker 1>it does sound very similar to a lot of the

<v Speaker 1>other bloodline segments that we've seen over the last four

<v Speaker 1>or five years. And as the greatest of the great

<v Speaker 1>bloodline segments go, this was not one of the all

<v Speaker 1>time great ones. But as bloodline segments go, this was

<v Speaker 1>one of the better ones that we've gotten in a

<v Speaker 1>very long time, and the crowd was certainly receptive to it.

<v Speaker 1>So I liked what they did at the end. I

<v Speaker 1>like that we're going to continue to get baby faced,

<v Speaker 1>so instead of having to wait, you know, do some

<v Speaker 1>sort of big swerve. I will say this though, one

<v Speaker 1>of my takeaways from what we saw here at the

<v Speaker 1>end of the show is that if La Knight was

<v Speaker 1>going to win the World Heavyweight Championship. But you already

<v Speaker 1>know my thoughts on this, but if there was a

<v Speaker 1>sliver of hope that La Knight was actually gonna beat

<v Speaker 1>Roman at Money in the Bank and win that championship,

<v Speaker 1>I think it went out the window tonight. I really do,

<v Speaker 1>because I feel like if they were going to change

<v Speaker 1>the title, they would have wanted to do some sort

<v Speaker 1>of bit even if people some people would have seen

<v Speaker 1>it coming, they would have wanted to do some sort

<v Speaker 1>of big swerve, like in the match at Money in

<v Speaker 1>the Bank, like let Solo go a couple of months. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>he's against his will, but you know what, it's his family.

<v Speaker 1>He falls in line. He's with the Bloodline Nights all alone.

<v Speaker 1>He's got no friends, he's got no allies. And at

<v Speaker 1>the exact moment that Roman reigns would need Solos help

<v Speaker 1>in that match, that's where Solo spikes him, right, That's

<v Speaker 1>where Solo drives the dagger the heart. And if you

<v Speaker 1>were going to build to a big championship victory, then

<v Speaker 1>that leads into Night winning and it's this whole big

<v Speaker 1>emotional thing and the fans go crazy. They took that

<v Speaker 1>away tonight. They took that away, and I'm not saying

<v Speaker 1>they were wrong to do that. I'm glad they did

<v Speaker 1>what they did, but I feel like you've taken away

<v Speaker 1>what would have been, you know, a real moment in

<v Speaker 1>that match for them to go ahead and give Night

<v Speaker 1>the belt and in the process established Solo Socoa as

<v Speaker 1>you know, one of the big babyfaces on wrong. So

<v Speaker 1>I think whatever small chance there was went out the

<v Speaker 1>window tonight. The other thing also that I liked about

<v Speaker 1>that closing segment. For the first time, I feel like

<v Speaker 1>since this bloodline reunited, there was no ambiguity about what

<v Speaker 1>are these guys supposed to be. You know, I always

<v Speaker 1>say like Roman has never really stopped being a heel,

<v Speaker 1>But like with the USOS, they go back and forth.

<v Speaker 1>Sometimes they come off as baby faces, a lot of

<v Speaker 1>times they do come off as heels, but not all

<v Speaker 1>the time. In this segment tonight, it was very clear

<v Speaker 1>like the lines were drawn as far as like okay boo,

<v Speaker 1>these men cheer these men, and they came off his heels. Collectively,

<v Speaker 1>they all came off his heels, and hopefully that's something

<v Speaker 1>we'll see a little more often instead of them sort

<v Speaker 1>of straddling that line. So that was a big show

<v Speaker 1>closing angle. But in addition to that, we got some

<v Speaker 1>good wrestling on the show, which is more than I

<v Speaker 1>can say for SmackDown on Friday. We had a great

<v Speaker 1>Intercontinental Championship match tonight. It got great in the closing

<v Speaker 1>minutes between Raymistereo and Chad Gable. A little surprised it

<v Speaker 1>didn't hold off on this for Mexico City next month.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know why they chose tonight, but I'm glad

<v Speaker 1>we got it because that match was fucking great, and

<v Speaker 1>I mean I could watch those two work, you know,

<v Speaker 1>multiple times if they wanted to run it. There's no

<v Speaker 1>reason to run it back. But Raymysterio. You know, there

<v Speaker 1>were times where you watch him and it's like, all right,

<v Speaker 1>you know, he's obviously he's slowed down a little bit

<v Speaker 1>because he's a lot older, but he still goes out

<v Speaker 1>there and some of the stuff that he does in

<v Speaker 1>the ring, you forget, like how long he's been doing

<v Speaker 1>this for and all the surgeries that he's had, and

<v Speaker 1>I know he's had the stem cells and he's done

<v Speaker 1>what he has to do to kind of keep himself

<v Speaker 1>in the shape he needs to be in to be

<v Speaker 1>doing all of these you know, dives and moon salt

<v Speaker 1>and everything that he does at his age. But he's

<v Speaker 1>out there tonight looking like the Ageless Wonder, and it

<v Speaker 1>just blows me away sometimes when I see him in

<v Speaker 1>the ring. So we got a great ic title match tonight.

<v Speaker 1>We also had there was a women's match between soul

<v Speaker 1>Ruka and Lyra Valkyria that actually ended up being pretty good.

<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed this more than I did their last match together,

<v Speaker 1>so that was a good one. We had the final

<v Speaker 1>two first round matches in the Luchadors torn in it

<v Speaker 1>because we're crowning a number one contender, which seems kind

<v Speaker 1>of pointless given that we know La Knight is going

<v Speaker 1>to be the number one contender. But before we get

<v Speaker 1>to La Knight a number one contender for the World

<v Speaker 1>Heavyweight Championship September four, fourteenth in Mexico City, Penta has

<v Speaker 1>already qualified. We had Laparca qualifying the Triple A show

<v Speaker 1>this past weekend, so tonight we had two more first

<v Speaker 1>round matches, and especially the second one. I thought the

<v Speaker 1>one that came later in the show was better than

<v Speaker 1>the first one, but just collectively all the matches I

<v Speaker 1>just mentioned, they were good. None of them were as

<v Speaker 1>good as the IC title match that was the best

<v Speaker 1>of the bunch. But we got some good wrestling on

<v Speaker 1>the show tonight that got time. And even the Javon

<v Speaker 1>Evans match, you know with JD McDonough, which did not

<v Speaker 1>get a lot of time. I thought that was solid too.

<v Speaker 1>So the wrestling was good. We got a strong angle

<v Speaker 1>to close out the show. You know what, I'm not

<v Speaker 1>going to look a gift Taurus in the mouth. I

<v Speaker 1>was happy with what we got on Raw tonight. I

<v Speaker 1>have some quibbles. We'll get into the whole thing from

<v Speaker 1>start to finish, but I thought this was a strong show,

<v Speaker 1>hell of a lot stronger than the one we got

<v Speaker 1>last week. This is your Monday Night Raw review. It

<v Speaker 1>is August seventeenth, twenty twenty six. I am the Solemn Monster.

<v Speaker 1>Brand new sound off is up right now. Went up

<v Speaker 1>early yesterday, episode nine to seventy six, So if you

<v Speaker 1>have not checked it out yet, be sure to go

<v Speaker 1>ahead and do so. Covering all the key news of

<v Speaker 1>the week, dark Side or the Ring review is in there.

<v Speaker 1>Shitload of mailbag questions I haven't gotten to it the

<v Speaker 1>last few weeks. So we did a big fucking mail

<v Speaker 1>bag on the show yesterday. It's been this wheel. Shall

<v Speaker 1>we take this wheel for a spin for the first

<v Speaker 1>time this week? You guys know how this works. We're

<v Speaker 1>trying to find out how many likes we need to

<v Speaker 1>do be the booker a neckro salute to YouTube brother

<v Speaker 1>interesting bonus goal only. Okay, so we do have a

<v Speaker 1>bonus goal going on in the chat. So what that

<v Speaker 1>means is that we're not going by the likes number tonight.

<v Speaker 1>We're going by the bonus goal. The bonus goal is

<v Speaker 1>the goal. We don't hit it, No, be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>We hit it, it will do be the booker, So

<v Speaker 1>say the wheel. So that's how that's going to work

<v Speaker 1>a little bit different tonight. Let's get into this show.

<v Speaker 1>Start from the very top Stephanie Vaquier, former women's world champion,

<v Speaker 1>came back a few weeks ago. She was out to

<v Speaker 1>the ring to open the show, and the first thing

<v Speaker 1>she did she called out the women's world champion, Live Morgan,

<v Speaker 1>who came out on stage with the women of the judgment.

<v Speaker 1>Dave Raquel Rodriguez Rock San Perez Live brought up what

<v Speaker 1>Becky Lynch said about her holding the title, how it

<v Speaker 1>cheapens it for all the women who held that championship

<v Speaker 1>before her, and basically Live said, I don't really give

<v Speaker 1>a shit. I don't care one way or the other

<v Speaker 1>as long as I'm in the WWE. Stephanie will never

<v Speaker 1>be Women's World Champion again because Live is on her

<v Speaker 1>way to being the longest reigning champion of all time.

<v Speaker 1>Stephanie dared her to come into the ring, and so

<v Speaker 1>she did, and of course she had back up with her.

<v Speaker 1>She had Raquel, she had Roxanne, and even though they

<v Speaker 1>had the numbers advantage, Stephanie held her own at first,

<v Speaker 1>but then she got overwhelmed and that brought out Becky

<v Speaker 1>Lynch to make the save, and her and Stephanie cleared

<v Speaker 1>the ring of all the heels. Then they got in

<v Speaker 1>each other's faces. I think there might have been an

<v Speaker 1>errant shot that Stephanie threw that might have hit Becky.

<v Speaker 1>I looked down. When I looked up, they were at

<v Speaker 1>each other's throats. So they just don't like each other. Basically,

<v Speaker 1>Lived then pulled Becky out of the ring center into

<v Speaker 1>the ring post and then hit Stephanie with a codebreaker

<v Speaker 1>and Roxane dropped her with pop rocks. Now later in

<v Speaker 1>the show, and I'm skipping ahead here a few segments

<v Speaker 1>because it kind of plays into this, Kathy Kelly was

<v Speaker 1>in the back and she was with Stephanie Vicaier. She

<v Speaker 1>broke the news to Stephanie that she's going to have

<v Speaker 1>her first match back next week against Roxane Perez. Becky

<v Speaker 1>showed up. Stephanie told her, look, I didn't ask for

<v Speaker 1>your help. I don't need your help. Roxanne is my problem. Now,

<v Speaker 1>don't make yourself my next problem. Becky said, as long

<v Speaker 1>as you're going after that championship, I'm your biggest problem.

<v Speaker 1>But hey, you know what, you know want my help.

<v Speaker 1>Good luck next week because I'm sure the judgment day

<v Speaker 1>they're gonna keep things kosher. There's gonna be no interference

<v Speaker 1>or any of that bullshit. So good luck next week.

<v Speaker 1>And that's how they left it, So again just kind

<v Speaker 1>of playing off what we've seen over the last couple

<v Speaker 1>of weeks. We know Becky and Stephanie don't like each other.

<v Speaker 1>They're not friends, they're not buddies. They both have the

<v Speaker 1>same goal, which is to get that belt off of

<v Speaker 1>liv Morgan. She's had it since WrestleMania. She's barely defended

<v Speaker 1>literally one title defense since WrestleMania. You can't go wrong

<v Speaker 1>with either one of these two. If they pick Stephanie

<v Speaker 1>to take the belt back, great. If they want to

<v Speaker 1>put the belt on Becky, fine. I don't know that

<v Speaker 1>they're gonna do that though, so they're just continuing to

<v Speaker 1>build up the tension. So now she'll get roxand next

<v Speaker 1>week my guess is after that we'll get Stephanie and Raquel.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know who the who gets the first shot.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know that they go right

<v Speaker 1>into a three way. I would imagine that they individually

<v Speaker 1>would get shots first and then they can build to

<v Speaker 1>some sort of big match like that. But nothing terribly

<v Speaker 1>different than what we've had over the last couple of weeks.

<v Speaker 1>Jimmy and jay Uso they were in the back clowning

<v Speaker 1>around all happy, and they had Solo Sokoa with them,

<v Speaker 1>who was anything but happy. He had a big sour

<v Speaker 1>puss on his face because he was being served up

<v Speaker 1>later in the show to Roman Reigns. He did not

<v Speaker 1>want to be here. They're walking by La Knight is

<v Speaker 1>sitting in the hallway as they strolled on by Night

<v Speaker 1>and Solo. They stared at each other before the usso's

<v Speaker 1>escorted Solo into the bloodlined locker room because they're gonna

<v Speaker 1>milk this. They're gonna close the show with this. They're

<v Speaker 1>not gonna give this shit away in the opening segment. Plus,

<v Speaker 1>Roman hasn't gotten to the building yet, so even if

<v Speaker 1>they wanted to do it, apparently we can't have the

<v Speaker 1>bloodline segment because we have to wait for Roman Rains

<v Speaker 1>to arrive. He's still enjoying dinner. We'll see him later

<v Speaker 1>in the show. We had Javon Evans against JD McDonough

<v Speaker 1>and how did we get here? How did we arrive

<v Speaker 1>at this match? Well, when Dominic and JD first walked

<v Speaker 1>out on stage, dom was bitching about his father not

<v Speaker 1>putting him in the Number One Contenders tournament to wrestle

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns. Then Javon's music hit. He stormed out, walked

<v Speaker 1>right past them, and he didn't have the usual smile.

<v Speaker 1>He wasn't bouncing around. He just went right to the ring,

<v Speaker 1>took the microphone, and he called out Big Casts because

<v Speaker 1>Cass has been kicking his ass over the last few weeks.

<v Speaker 1>So two things that I just mentioned that have absolutely

<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with each other. Two completely different stories,

<v Speaker 1>two completely different issues, and so we have JD McDonough

<v Speaker 1>against Javon Evans. Okay, then I'm not even sure anything

<v Speaker 1>that I just described to you actually aired on the show.

<v Speaker 1>I believe this may have aired during the commercial break. Yes, okay,

<v Speaker 1>so Rodericks, that's what I thought. I don't think any

<v Speaker 1>of this aired on the show, so none of this

<v Speaker 1>even matters. I wasn't one hundred percent sure though, because

<v Speaker 1>it's not as obvious anymore. I mean, sometimes what happens

<v Speaker 1>usually is they'll fade to black, they'll come back, they

<v Speaker 1>don't really have Maybe it's different for you guys if

<v Speaker 1>you're watching internationally or with a VPN. They used to

<v Speaker 1>have the countdown clock in the corner. I haven't seen

<v Speaker 1>that countdown clock in many weeks. I think they've just

<v Speaker 1>done away with it. So it's sometimes hard to tell

<v Speaker 1>what's actually airing on the show and what's airing during

<v Speaker 1>commercial The one thing I do know is that when

<v Speaker 1>they send Dan Housen out there, he has become the

<v Speaker 1>That's my reaction to the to the Dan Housen stuff.

<v Speaker 1>He's become the commercial guy, at least the last few weeks. Anyway,

<v Speaker 1>he comes out in his Dan Housen mobile today, I'll

<v Speaker 1>cut him some slack. Tonight was his birthday. He had

<v Speaker 1>a birthday hat on. Everybody in the crowd was singing

<v Speaker 1>Happy birthday to Dan Housen. List we didn't have any

<v Speaker 1>dopey birthday segments on the show. When I see Dan

<v Speaker 1>Housen ride out in the car, I know they're a

<v Speaker 1>commercial break. Evans did his running dive out outside, run

<v Speaker 1>around the ring, dive over the barricade into the timekeeper's area,

<v Speaker 1>appeared to injure his knee in the process, which gave

<v Speaker 1>McDonough the opening that he needed. Evans made a comeback,

<v Speaker 1>though with a springboard clothesline. Mcdonoughh was able to avoid

<v Speaker 1>the og cutter attempt and hit a brain buster for

<v Speaker 1>a near fall. Jad then went up for a moon salt.

<v Speaker 1>Evans cut him off. He climbed up. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>what he was going for, but McDonough slipped underneath him

<v Speaker 1>and then tripped Evans up. He fell down face first

<v Speaker 1>onto the top turn buckle. So mcdonoughh tried for the

<v Speaker 1>moon salt again, Evans moved so he missed, and then

<v Speaker 1>Evans headed up top, came flying off and hit a

<v Speaker 1>picture perfect og cutter. McDonough's sold this perfectly and he

<v Speaker 1>pinned him. I love that little leg twitch though. If

<v Speaker 1>you saw the end of this match, right on the three,

<v Speaker 1>like right before the three count, McDonagh just he tried

<v Speaker 1>to kick out. It was just like showing he couldn't

<v Speaker 1>do it. He didn't have enough, but he was still

<v Speaker 1>like in it. He just didn't have enough to actually

<v Speaker 1>kick out. So the crowd was really behind Javan here

<v Speaker 1>in this match, like super behind him in this match.

<v Speaker 1>I just wish it had a little more time. Time

<v Speaker 1>is the one thing this match really did not have.

<v Speaker 1>It went about six minutes. It was solid though. After

<v Speaker 1>that big cast, he ambushed Evans from behind, third straight

<v Speaker 1>week that he has ambushed this man, and he mauled him.

<v Speaker 1>He put him down with the east river crossing and

<v Speaker 1>then he went to go leave. He stepped out over

<v Speaker 1>the top rope. He made it not even halfway down

<v Speaker 1>the aisle. Javan gets on the mic and he says

<v Speaker 1>that all you got, and Cass says, oh yeah, you

<v Speaker 1>want some more? So he comes back down to the

<v Speaker 1>ring and he goes to climb over the top rope.

<v Speaker 1>Javon cuts him off, knocks him back out to the floor,

<v Speaker 1>and then he hit a dive, not over the top

<v Speaker 1>like he normally does. He had to dive through the

<v Speaker 1>ropes because he was selling the knee, so he couldn't

<v Speaker 1>build up the momentum he needed on the bad knee,

<v Speaker 1>so instead of going out over the top, he went

<v Speaker 1>through the ropes. But then Dom was out there. He

<v Speaker 1>sent Evans into the ring post to ruin all of

<v Speaker 1>his momentum, and then Dom and McDonough they walked around

<v Speaker 1>big Cast. They're like, okay, we're out of here, so

<v Speaker 1>they left. So Cass now had Evans all to himself.

<v Speaker 1>He sent him into the barricade outside, then back inside

<v Speaker 1>he mowed him down with a big boot and for

<v Speaker 1>the third straight week, he left this kid laying they've

<v Speaker 1>done well so far to give Cast the monster push.

<v Speaker 1>What I mean by monster push is they've made this

<v Speaker 1>man out to be a monster. Not that they're not

<v Speaker 1>that they're pushing him more than anybody else on the show,

<v Speaker 1>but even the way they shoot him, like when he's

<v Speaker 1>in the ring and they shoot him low to make

<v Speaker 1>him look even bigger. They don't have to really do that.

<v Speaker 1>The guy's a fucking giant, but he's getting the monster push,

<v Speaker 1>and Javan Evans obviously is just outmatched, right, I mean, anyway,

<v Speaker 1>this guy's twice his size, and I'm just waiting for

<v Speaker 1>the match. What will be very interesting is Cass has

<v Speaker 1>not wrestled yet, so it looks like his first match

<v Speaker 1>is probably unless they give him some sort of squash

<v Speaker 1>match in the next few weeks. Seems pretty clear that

<v Speaker 1>first match will be against Javan, and I think from

<v Speaker 1>that match we'll learn fairly quickly what the real goal

<v Speaker 1>is here. Now, you can accomplish both of these things.

<v Speaker 1>You can do the match in a way where Javon

<v Speaker 1>Evans gets over. Right, He's got spunk, he just won't quit.

<v Speaker 1>He keeps kicking out, but in the end he just

<v Speaker 1>doesn't have what it takes right and he loses. But

<v Speaker 1>you just try to portray him as a guy that

<v Speaker 1>just will not he will not die. Or you could

<v Speaker 1>have him beat Cass if it's more important to them

<v Speaker 1>to really get Javan over. You give Javan a win

<v Speaker 1>over a guy that's twice his size, then we know

<v Speaker 1>it's more about pushing Javan not as much of a

<v Speaker 1>great sign for Cast, but this guy, I mean, you

<v Speaker 1>just look at him. How are you gonna beat him

<v Speaker 1>in his first match? You know what I mean? Like,

<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna do the first match, just have Cast

<v Speaker 1>beat the fucking shit out of him. That's it. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>it doesn't have to be a squash, but like he's

<v Speaker 1>got to go over. I think coming out of that match,

<v Speaker 1>depending on how the finish goes, we'll get a better

<v Speaker 1>sense of what the real priority is here. Yeah, you

<v Speaker 1>can try to accomplish both. They can both come out

<v Speaker 1>of it looking good, but to me, it would be

<v Speaker 1>more important to have Cast go over. It was his

<v Speaker 1>first match, first match eight years losing to Javon Evans.

<v Speaker 1>Come on, we had a first round match in the

<v Speaker 1>tournament to crown a number one contender to Roman Reigns

<v Speaker 1>and his World Heavyweight championship on September fourteenth in Mexico City.

<v Speaker 1>And this is the way that the tournament bracket actually

<v Speaker 1>after the show tonight is looking Panta already had to

<v Speaker 1>win over Laredo Kid he had moved into the next round,

<v Speaker 1>and then on the Triple A show, Laparka beat Psycho Clown.

<v Speaker 1>That match between pent and Laparka is coming up next

<v Speaker 1>week tonight. Here in this match, we had Ray Phoenix,

<v Speaker 1>the reigning Triple A Cruiserweight Champion, taking on l Fizzcal

<v Speaker 1>Fitzcah God, I wish I had pulled a photo of him.

<v Speaker 1>Fitzcal came out here. I mean he looked like a

<v Speaker 1>gold Power Ranger, Like I can't unsee it. He's fuck

<v Speaker 1>I came out there as a fucking Power Ranger and

<v Speaker 1>obviously didn't give much of a response because these people

<v Speaker 1>have no idea who this guy is. But Phoenix caught

<v Speaker 1>him with a springboard moon salt for a near fall.

<v Speaker 1>Fiscal late in the match, he teased a tombstone pile

<v Speaker 1>driver got Phoenix up in position for Phoenix that was

<v Speaker 1>able to counter out into a cradle for a near fall.

<v Speaker 1>Phoenix then got him in the corner and he got

<v Speaker 1>him in position for the Mexican musclebuster for the win.

<v Speaker 1>This shocked me. This shocked me. I was stunned. Stunned,

<v Speaker 1>I tell you that El Fiscal is not going on

<v Speaker 1>to Mexico City to potentially wrestle Roman Reigns for the

<v Speaker 1>world Heavyweight Championship. I was just floored. I couldn't believe it,

<v Speaker 1>couldn't believe the outcome of this match. They got six minutes,

<v Speaker 1>They got six minutes. It really wasn't anything special as

<v Speaker 1>Rap Phoenix matches go. This is about as tame of

<v Speaker 1>a Ray Phoenix match as you are ever gonna see. Now.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying this guy should go out there and

<v Speaker 1>kill himself the way he was doing in some of

<v Speaker 1>those aw matches that he was having on TV, But

<v Speaker 1>my god, you have a guy like Ray Phoenix, let

<v Speaker 1>him go out there and do Ray Phoenix things. Very

<v Speaker 1>tame match. Obviously, with the outcome that we all expected,

<v Speaker 1>anything else here would have been incredibly stupid. Ray Phoenix

<v Speaker 1>should be in the finals of this tournament. Forget the

<v Speaker 1>semi finals. He should be in the finals. Maybe I'll

<v Speaker 1>look at Alexander maybe in the next maybe in the

<v Speaker 1>next fiscal year, the next fiscal year. Boy, that was bad.

<v Speaker 1>That was bad. I should have given you the flush

<v Speaker 1>for that one. Roderick says, just get me to Phoenix

<v Speaker 1>and Dragon Lye and then Phoenix Impenta in the final.

<v Speaker 1>It should not go any other way, brother, should not

<v Speaker 1>go any other way. Well that's okay, though, El Fiscal.

<v Speaker 1>He'll go back and uh, he'll congregate with all the

<v Speaker 1>other power rangers, and I'm sure there's some sort of

<v Speaker 1>evildoers out there that he can go occupy his time with.

<v Speaker 1>After this, we had Soul Ruka Richie rich over here

<v Speaker 1>dropping all this money. Wait just a minute, I just

<v Speaker 1>want you to know, forget soul Ruka. I don't mean

<v Speaker 1>the rock A rock we ain't talking about. So, oh

<v Speaker 1>my goodness, that is Aaron Aaron Riggerio with a one

<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars bomb to follow up on the one that

<v Speaker 1>we got earlier from j Man. Wow, he was there tonight. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>Aaron still was there tonight. We were loud in the

<v Speaker 1>house for Oba and Bronze segment. Folks around me were

<v Speaker 1>noticeably booing and flipping off Roman. Well, I mean that's

<v Speaker 1>a good sign, don't get me wrong. Roman was popular.

<v Speaker 1>I was in the lower bowl and the surrounding sections

<v Speaker 1>were clamoring for La He is a no brainer man. Look,

<v Speaker 1>I take no pleasure when I come on here every

<v Speaker 1>week and I talk about the fact that La Night

<v Speaker 1>is not going to win the World Heavyweight Championship, because look,

<v Speaker 1>you've heard me talk about La Night a year ago,

<v Speaker 1>two years ago. Right, this should have been something that

<v Speaker 1>happened a long time ago. And you can only get

<v Speaker 1>burned so many times. And you hear the crowd reactions

<v Speaker 1>and you see the guy get an opportunity, and then

<v Speaker 1>they don't go with him, and then he gets another

<v Speaker 1>opportunity and they don't go with him, and then they

<v Speaker 1>funnel him down the card. And after a while, it's like,

<v Speaker 1>why should I you know what I mean, Like, why

<v Speaker 1>should I sit here and give them the benefit of

<v Speaker 1>the doubt that, oh, this time it's going to be different.

<v Speaker 1>I want to believe it. I can't. I can't bring

<v Speaker 1>myself to believe it. But you're not wrong. It should

<v Speaker 1>be a no brainer. Did she see the comments that

<v Speaker 1>Aj Styles made on his podcast. He's wrestled La Night before,

<v Speaker 1>said La Knight like you said, no brainer? He also

<v Speaker 1>would love to see La and Night walk out with

<v Speaker 1>the World Heavyweight Championship the next shot he gets. I

<v Speaker 1>think Aj is going to be very disappointed, as many

<v Speaker 1>of you will be, But I'm not disappointed after that.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Erin, Well you got a good show tonight.

<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm glad you were able to be there for it.

<v Speaker 1>What we were going to get into next. That was

<v Speaker 1>the women's match Soul Ruco one on one with Lyra Valkyria,

<v Speaker 1>two former Women's inter Continental champions. No titles on the

<v Speaker 1>line here in this match, although maybe coming out of

<v Speaker 1>this match maybe they'll, you know, the winner will put

<v Speaker 1>themselves in contention for the title if you can believe it,

<v Speaker 1>and with this booking team you probably can. This was

<v Speaker 1>Lyra Valkyrie's first match on Raw since the night that

<v Speaker 1>she turned on Bailey. Do you know when that was?

<v Speaker 1>Two months ago? Now? In between she had the match

<v Speaker 1>at Madison Square Garden where she beat Bailey. But when

<v Speaker 1>somebody turns heel, right, and I wasn't even sure what

<v Speaker 1>kind of heel Lyra Valkyria would make. You've got to

<v Speaker 1>give them time on the television show though, to you know,

<v Speaker 1>develop their character. We know what babyface bird girl. Lyra

<v Speaker 1>Valkyria was like, okay, well now you want to establish

<v Speaker 1>heal Lyra. And we have these little vignettes that they

<v Speaker 1>drop every now and then. She's got no makeup on.

<v Speaker 1>She looks like she hasn't slept in two weeks. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know exactly what it is that she's going for.

<v Speaker 1>But you got to give her time on the show,

<v Speaker 1>and you got to put her in the fucking ring

<v Speaker 1>because she's very good. It's one of her strengths. You know.

<v Speaker 1>It was her in ring bell to bell. How is

<v Speaker 1>this her first match on this show in two months?

<v Speaker 1>It's ridiculous. Soul went for a handspring as she was

<v Speaker 1>heading towards the ropes. This right here was the best

<v Speaker 1>part of the match. This was great. So we've seen

<v Speaker 1>in the past Soul does this dive. It's not the

<v Speaker 1>Oh gosh, it's I was going to say a different name.

<v Speaker 1>That's not the right move. What the hell is the

<v Speaker 1>name of this move where she does the handspring out

<v Speaker 1>over the top rope, lands on her feet on the floor.

<v Speaker 1>What the fuck is that move? Called flying space Tiger driver?

<v Speaker 1>That's what it is, something like that. She was going

<v Speaker 1>for that hell of a name. By the way. As

<v Speaker 1>she was flipping towards the ropes though, and she went

<v Speaker 1>to go do the dive out over the top, Lyra

<v Speaker 1>met her on the apron and gave her a hangman's

<v Speaker 1>neck breaker across the top rope to the back of

<v Speaker 1>her neck. So you should take a look at it yourself.

<v Speaker 1>It was very impressive and could have ended the match

<v Speaker 1>after that because Lyra headed up top, she hit the

<v Speaker 1>leg slice off the top and Soul kicked out. So

<v Speaker 1>at that point I knew, okay, if Lyra was winning

<v Speaker 1>this match, it was going to be there, and the

<v Speaker 1>fact that she didn't told me, okay, well, I guess

<v Speaker 1>the finish is going a different way. Lyra went for

<v Speaker 1>night wing, Ruka countered out into a Tornado DDT and

<v Speaker 1>then Soul hit the Soul Snatcher and she got the pin. No, no, no,

<v Speaker 1>it's not a Fosberry flop. I don't think. I don't

<v Speaker 1>think Fosbury flop is what I was thinking of. It's

<v Speaker 1>like the flying Space Tiger Driver. Got some weird fucking

<v Speaker 1>names for these moves. Whatever it was, it backfired on her.

<v Speaker 1>But this turned into a solid wrestling match here between

<v Speaker 1>these two that I thought was better than the last

<v Speaker 1>match we saw them have, which was for the IC

<v Speaker 1>title on rawback in June, and I vaguely remember they

<v Speaker 1>may have had a match on a plag maybe Backlash

<v Speaker 1>a few months ago. I thought this match was better

<v Speaker 1>than those, But as much as I enjoyed the end

<v Speaker 1>of this match. I'm like Lyra has not wrestled on

<v Speaker 1>the show in two months. Finally she gets a match

<v Speaker 1>and you beat her. It's counterproductive, man. She needs to

<v Speaker 1>rack up some wins. She beat Bailey at Saturday Night's

<v Speaker 1>main event, right, which she needed to to establish herself

<v Speaker 1>obviously in this new persona. But you got to rack

<v Speaker 1>up some wins here. So they don't even put her

<v Speaker 1>in the ring, and when they do, they beat her.

<v Speaker 1>That's the part that I didn't agree with. But I

<v Speaker 1>thought these two had a good match. Space flying Tiger drop. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>so maybe that's what it is. Who cares? It was

<v Speaker 1>a cool move we have in the back, That's what

<v Speaker 1>we have. Next, the USO's they met with Jacob foughtu.

<v Speaker 1>Jay Uso asked him why you look so sad? He said,

<v Speaker 1>we did something that your ass couldn't do. We ran

<v Speaker 1>the play and we brought Solo back to the bloodline.

<v Speaker 1>And then Jay got serious and he asked him, who's

<v Speaker 1>the punk ass now, Jacob. Meanwhile, Kathy Kelly was interviewing

<v Speaker 1>the Vision. In the back, bron Breaker was standing off

<v Speaker 1>to the side, just staring straight ahead. He could not

<v Speaker 1>give a single solitary shit about what these other bozos

<v Speaker 1>were talking about. Finally, Kathy asked Broun, do you have

<v Speaker 1>anything you want to say to Obafemi and Breaker said yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say it to his face. So the camera

<v Speaker 1>follows Broun as he goes walking by himself. He leaves

<v Speaker 1>all the dwebs behind and he walks through the backstage area.

<v Speaker 1>He walks through the gorilla position out to the ring

<v Speaker 1>to address Obafemi. He says, if you want to be

<v Speaker 1>the future at this place, come out here and take

<v Speaker 1>it from me. Instead, he gets Paul Haman who walks out.

<v Speaker 1>Hey's talking about you know, I've been an oracle and

<v Speaker 1>I've been you know, an advocate, and I've been the

<v Speaker 1>wise man and certain things you know, I would say

<v Speaker 1>are wise to do other things or unwise to do anyway,

<v Speaker 1>he plays up this idea of like who is the

<v Speaker 1>future of WWE. Bron walks up to Hayman after Hayman

<v Speaker 1>gets in the ring, he goes, who do you think

<v Speaker 1>is the future of WWE? And Hayman was saved by

<v Speaker 1>the music because they played Obafemi's theme so he never

<v Speaker 1>had to answer the question. And Oba he strutted his

<v Speaker 1>way out to the ring. Oba said it was stupid

<v Speaker 1>for Broun to question who the future was. He said, everyone,

<v Speaker 1>even brock Lesner, has said that it's him. It's Oba Femi.

<v Speaker 1>And Oba said that a Breaker has a problem with that,

<v Speaker 1>he could take it up with him anytime. So Broun said,

<v Speaker 1>how about right here, right now? And the fans in

<v Speaker 1>Buffalo obviously they like that idea, and Oba was down

<v Speaker 1>for it. And then Hayman stepped in and he put

<v Speaker 1>his hand out right in front of Breaker, and Hayman

<v Speaker 1>said that if you take one more step towards Oba,

<v Speaker 1>you're going to be taking a permanent step away from me.

<v Speaker 1>The Breaker said, what are you doing? Hayman said, WWE

<v Speaker 1>is a publicly traded company. It's the biggest he didn't

<v Speaker 1>say wrestling company, but it was the biggest wrestling company

<v Speaker 1>in the world. It's a company that answers to shareholders.

<v Speaker 1>So the future is someone who understands box office and

<v Speaker 1>that you promote a match on the biggest stage possible.

<v Speaker 1>Hayman said he already set things up with Adam Pierce,

<v Speaker 1>and he said that it will be bron Breaker one

<v Speaker 1>on one with Oba Femi on Sunday, night's main event,

<v Speaker 1>and he goes for Breaker in your hometown of Atlanta.

<v Speaker 1>It's going to be in your home state of Georgia.

<v Speaker 1>Hayman said, we would learn who truly is the future

<v Speaker 1>of WWE that night. Breaker looked pleased with this development,

<v Speaker 1>and Hayman held the ropes open. Braun left the ring

<v Speaker 1>big smile on his face, and as Braun turns around,

<v Speaker 1>he happens to see Paul Hayman shake hands with Obafemi,

<v Speaker 1>and then Hayman leads the ring, but Bron has a

<v Speaker 1>look on his face like he's not happy. He wasn't

<v Speaker 1>expecting that. He doesn't know what to make of it.

<v Speaker 1>Hayman's got a big smile on his face and he

<v Speaker 1>goes walking on by to the back. This was very brief,

<v Speaker 1>but this was good. It accomplished what it needed to do,

<v Speaker 1>which was to let everybody know, Hey, guess what, You're

<v Speaker 1>not gonna have to wait too long. You're not gonna

<v Speaker 1>have to wait very much longer to get the match.

<v Speaker 1>Here's where you can see it, here's the wear and when.

<v Speaker 1>And next week, by the way, they're going to be

<v Speaker 1>having a contract signing for this match. So that sets

<v Speaker 1>up the second big match now for that Sunday Night's

<v Speaker 1>main eventure. They've already made it official that Cody Rhoades

<v Speaker 1>is going to be wrestling Randy Orton. Have Oba and

<v Speaker 1>Bram both matches, by the way, no titles on the line,

<v Speaker 1>but those are two very big matches for that show breaker. Again,

<v Speaker 1>he was pleased with Hayman, but then he caught him

<v Speaker 1>shaking hands, and so you know, the paranoia sets in.

<v Speaker 1>The paranoia sets in. Can I trust this guy? He's

<v Speaker 1>all chummy chummy with Oba Femi? I don't know, Are

<v Speaker 1>you with me or you with him? That's gonna be

<v Speaker 1>the story, And I'm not really enamored with it, and

<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you why because to me, it just feels

<v Speaker 1>like a rehash of what we've already seen. Well, first

<v Speaker 1>of all, Paul Hayman does not always need to be

<v Speaker 1>the center of attention with this shit. That's number one,

<v Speaker 1>number two. It's like what we got with the Night

<v Speaker 1>one WrestleMania main event last year. It was all about Hayman,

<v Speaker 1>Roman and Seth and Punk. They're like, who's gonna have

<v Speaker 1>their allegiance with Paul Haman, Who's gonna win the hand

<v Speaker 1>of Hayman or who will Hayman stab in the back

<v Speaker 1>like he was the focal point of the story. I

<v Speaker 1>don't think he needs to be the focal point of

<v Speaker 1>the story here, but it looks like he's going to be.

<v Speaker 1>But I'm just glad we don't I have to wait

<v Speaker 1>too long to see the match. It is kind of

<v Speaker 1>funny to me that Hayman was talking about how you

<v Speaker 1>know a match like this you gotta wait for the

<v Speaker 1>biggest possible stage, and then they announced it for fucking

<v Speaker 1>Sunday Nights main event. But good. It's about time they

<v Speaker 1>put some effort into one of these shows. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>the last couple of Saturday Night's main event shows were

<v Speaker 1>not exactly light in the World on Fire because they

<v Speaker 1>have no pl in September. This is going to be

<v Speaker 1>the de facto big pl E for the month because

<v Speaker 1>after that we don't have anything really until Money in

<v Speaker 1>the Bank unless you can't World's Collide. Yeah, I'm sure

<v Speaker 1>Sam Punk will be on that show, but we don't

<v Speaker 1>have a whole lot between now and money in the bank.

<v Speaker 1>This will help bridge the gap until we get there. Now.

<v Speaker 1>In the final first round match in the Roman Reigns Tournament,

<v Speaker 1>it was Dragon Lee one on one with El Eho

<v Speaker 1>Del Doctor Wagner Junior. Wagner clearly had the size advantage

<v Speaker 1>here in this match. Crowd was very quiet for this

<v Speaker 1>until Dragon Lee caught him with a dive out to

<v Speaker 1>the floor that got a rise out of him. Then

<v Speaker 1>they got into a chop battle. Lee hung him up

<v Speaker 1>in the ropes tree of Woes style, went up top

<v Speaker 1>hit the double stomp for an ear fall Dragon Lee.

<v Speaker 1>He tried for a leaping rana out over the top row,

<v Speaker 1>but as he went flying over the top, Wagner held

<v Speaker 1>onto him, turned around, and then from the apron power

<v Speaker 1>bombed him back into the ring. Then he went up

<v Speaker 1>top came flying off with a frog splash, only for

<v Speaker 1>a two later on, Wagner hit a superplex. Lee countered

<v Speaker 1>out of his Wagner driver attempt into a version of

<v Speaker 1>a Destino, and then he followed that up with a

<v Speaker 1>proper one operation Dragon for the win. This was the

<v Speaker 1>better of the two first round matches that we had.

<v Speaker 1>I like this one more, and they got about five

<v Speaker 1>minutes more too. First one got like six minutes. This

<v Speaker 1>one had about, hmmm, what this get about eleven minutes,

<v Speaker 1>so that helped. So Dragon Lee, let me put the

<v Speaker 1>bracket back up here so you guys can get a

<v Speaker 1>visual aid. Dragon Lee is now going to wrestle Ray

<v Speaker 1>Phoenix in the next round of this tournament. A boy,

<v Speaker 1>that match has the potential to be fucking awesome if

<v Speaker 1>they let them. I hate that I have to kind

<v Speaker 1>of put that caveat there, but I feel like I

<v Speaker 1>always have to put the caveat with WWE when it

<v Speaker 1>comes to the Lutradors. If they let them, we got

<v Speaker 1>some good wrestling tonight. But Dragon Le and Ray Phoenix,

<v Speaker 1>like you and I both know what these guys can

<v Speaker 1>do in the ring together if you put them in

<v Speaker 1>there one on one. Are they going to be given

<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to do that. Are they gonna slow things down?

<v Speaker 1>Are they going to have the time they need to

<v Speaker 1>really build some drama, Because I'm gonna tell you something

<v Speaker 1>right now, the only real drama in this tournament is

<v Speaker 1>that Dragon Le Ray Phoenix match. There is no drama

<v Speaker 1>with Penta and La Park. There is no drama with

<v Speaker 1>Penta and Ray Phoenix. If they do that in the finals,

<v Speaker 1>or if they do Penta and Dragon Lee, however, I

<v Speaker 1>could see them sending Dragonly to the finals It is

<v Speaker 1>not a guarantee that we're gonna get Penta and Ray Phoenix.

<v Speaker 1>I think we will. I think we should. But at

<v Speaker 1>least here there's some doubt like it could go either way.

<v Speaker 1>Not a lot of doubt, but at least there's a

<v Speaker 1>little bit of doubt. But let them just go out

<v Speaker 1>there and do what they do. You know some of

<v Speaker 1>these sometimes we get these Luca matches in this company

<v Speaker 1>and it's like they're working at half speed. You know.

<v Speaker 1>We had that in the first round actually with the

<v Speaker 1>Penta and Laredo kid. We had that a couple of

<v Speaker 1>weeks ago. You let these two guys go out there

<v Speaker 1>and do what they do. That's gonna be a fucking

<v Speaker 1>great match. Speaking of luchadors and speaking of great matches,

<v Speaker 1>they definitely let these guys go out there and do

<v Speaker 1>their thing. Chad Gable, this was his first defense of

<v Speaker 1>the Intercontinental Championship since winning it at Summer Slim. He

<v Speaker 1>went out there to defend against raymus Stereo. He was

<v Speaker 1>more than happy to give Ray a shot at the title,

<v Speaker 1>and Ray accept and now Ray already had a shot

<v Speaker 1>at the title in June against Penta and he lost.

<v Speaker 1>So I was like hmm, all right, I'm gonna give

<v Speaker 1>him another shot. I they can't possibly be thinking about

<v Speaker 1>taking the belt off Gable this soon. I guess Ray's

<v Speaker 1>just gonna go in there and lose again. And I

<v Speaker 1>wasn't even sure they were doing the match to night

<v Speaker 1>until earlier today I saw they added it to the lineup.

<v Speaker 1>I was a little surprised. I thought they were going

<v Speaker 1>to save this from Mexico City. But we got it tonight.

<v Speaker 1>And the beginning, they're shaking hands right, everything's cool between them,

<v Speaker 1>and they both had the same idea. They both threw

<v Speaker 1>kicks at each other's gut to kick things off, so

<v Speaker 1>they fought out to the apron where Mysterio hit a

<v Speaker 1>RNA that took both of them down to the floor.

<v Speaker 1>There was also a spot where Ray hit and a

<v Speaker 1>Sahi moon salt from the ropes to the floor. Gable

<v Speaker 1>was back in the ring when Mysterio tried to I

<v Speaker 1>think he was trying to springboard back inside as he

<v Speaker 1>goes flying back into the ring, though Gable somehow turned

<v Speaker 1>this into a Fisherman's suplex for a near fall. I

<v Speaker 1>haven't seen that. I have not seen that kind of

<v Speaker 1>counter into a Fisherman's suplex. So that was cool. That

<v Speaker 1>was very clean. We got a diving head butt from

<v Speaker 1>gear angle slam only got a near fall. Ray tried

<v Speaker 1>for a six to one nine. Gable, though, caught his

<v Speaker 1>leg into an ankle lock. Ray was able to fight

<v Speaker 1>out of that. He sent Gable face first into the

<v Speaker 1>middle turn buckle. Ray then caught him with a six

<v Speaker 1>to one nine. He didn't catch him like normally he

<v Speaker 1>does it like in the middle of the ropes. This

<v Speaker 1>was closer to the post. But he hit the six

<v Speaker 1>one nine, and then after that he was able to

<v Speaker 1>get him in like the proper position, and then he

<v Speaker 1>hit another six to one nine, and now the crowd

<v Speaker 1>is going ape shit. Now, it's not a case where

<v Speaker 1>they were like booing Gable. It's not like the crowd

<v Speaker 1>turned on Gable because they like Ray Moore. They they

<v Speaker 1>may have liked Ray Moore, but they just, you know,

<v Speaker 1>were so into the idea that this man was going

<v Speaker 1>to capture this championship. They got lost in the moment, right.

<v Speaker 1>Aaron sent in a super chat before he was there.

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he was part of that crowd that was

<v Speaker 1>cheering and hoping that Ray mysteria was going to pull

<v Speaker 1>it off, and he goes to the top. He comes

<v Speaker 1>flying off with the splash and he got the knees up.

<v Speaker 1>He got the knees up, and then at that point

<v Speaker 1>he got the ankle lock applied yet again. Ray tried

<v Speaker 1>to kick him away a couple of times that didn't work.

<v Speaker 1>Then Ray tried to turn it into a cradle. Gable

<v Speaker 1>was able to reverse backwards into a cradle of his own,

<v Speaker 1>and he got the pin to retain the championship. They

<v Speaker 1>actually got longer for this match than Gable and Penta

<v Speaker 1>did for their Summer Slam match, so I was again

<v Speaker 1>surprised to see them do this match at all tonight.

<v Speaker 1>I thought they were going to want to save this

<v Speaker 1>match for Mexico City and just really build up a

<v Speaker 1>big raw show next month with the world title on

<v Speaker 1>the line. I see title on the line, and it

<v Speaker 1>may still be, but it'll be against somebody else. Crowd

<v Speaker 1>tonight again they were on their feet for the final

<v Speaker 1>closing moments of this here. I'm glad we didn't have

<v Speaker 1>to wait. You know, hey, I'm not complaining about the

<v Speaker 1>fact that we got the match a month early. Mexico

<v Speaker 1>City is still four weeks away. But this was fucking great.

<v Speaker 1>And this is what I was talking about at the

<v Speaker 1>beginning of the stream, where sometimes Ray is out there

<v Speaker 1>again it's kind of a slower match and he's not

<v Speaker 1>doing anything too crazy. He didn't do anything too crazy

<v Speaker 1>here either, But the fact that he's even out there

<v Speaker 1>doing SII moon salts and just moving around the way

<v Speaker 1>that he moves around is incredible when you consider the

<v Speaker 1>longevity that he has had. Yeah, I said this on Twitter.

<v Speaker 1>I said, we are coming up in the next few

<v Speaker 1>years on the fortieth anniversary of his debut match. He

<v Speaker 1>was fourteen years old when he debuted in nineteen eighty nine.

<v Speaker 1>The fact that he is still going out there and

<v Speaker 1>doing the things that he does, the working that style, right,

<v Speaker 1>he was always he was a luta doors It's not

<v Speaker 1>like he's working a ground based style. And all the

<v Speaker 1>knee surgeries and all the injuries that he's had over

<v Speaker 1>the years, it's incredible. There's nobody else like him. There's

<v Speaker 1>just nobody else who's active, who has that sort of

<v Speaker 1>longevity and is out there doing the things that he does.

<v Speaker 1>So this was great. I enjoyed this. The match as

<v Speaker 1>a whole was very good. And it's a great win

<v Speaker 1>for Gable. You know, Ray strapped the belt around his

<v Speaker 1>waist the big endorsement when the match was over, So

<v Speaker 1>this was great. Hopefully they will get Gable somebody to

<v Speaker 1>defend that title against in Mexico City, because last time

<v Speaker 1>we saw him in Mexico he was pretty beloved himself,

<v Speaker 1>as was El Grande Americana. I want to see Gable

<v Speaker 1>defend on that show. Who would be the best opponent

<v Speaker 1>for him? Though, I don't know who should red deefend

<v Speaker 1>that championship against on that show. I have to think

<v Speaker 1>about that. Penta is already occupy. We're not gonna be

<v Speaker 1>getting a Summer Slam rematch on that show. Maybe Phoenix. Well,

<v Speaker 1>the Phoenix already has a belt. He's already got that

<v Speaker 1>triple A. You know what, though, you can still do it.

<v Speaker 1>You still do the match. No law that says you can't.

<v Speaker 1>We go to the back, and just in time, guess

<v Speaker 1>who arrived. In the nick of time, the world heavyweight

<v Speaker 1>champion has arrived. Roman Reigns in his suv and wouldn't

<v Speaker 1>you know what, it's time for him to walk out

<v Speaker 1>to the ring to close the show. Jacob FAUGHTU was

<v Speaker 1>already there waiting for him. The two of them made

<v Speaker 1>their way through the back, through Gorilla and out to

<v Speaker 1>the ring. They went to a commercial. They came back.

<v Speaker 1>Roman got the fans to acknowledge him, and then he said,

<v Speaker 1>bring me Solo, and I said, well, I can't. I'm

<v Speaker 1>sitting here and I'm getting ready for my review. But

<v Speaker 1>the crowd was going enough for Solo, so co they

<v Speaker 1>did not want him to join. He came out with

<v Speaker 1>the ussos again. He looked like he would rather be anywhere.

<v Speaker 1>But there he gets into the ring and they're chanting

<v Speaker 1>his name and Roman said, I don't care what they're saying.

<v Speaker 1>The sight of you, just the sight of you is

<v Speaker 1>pissing me off. Now some people say that he's petty,

<v Speaker 1>that he holds receipts, but how could he not with Solo?

<v Speaker 1>And then he flubbed. He said, almost three years ago now,

<v Speaker 1>it was on raw, the premiere on Netflix Tribal Combat,

<v Speaker 1>that he beat Solo's ass. And I said, has it

<v Speaker 1>really been that long since the beginning of the Netflix relationship.

<v Speaker 1>I said, I don't think it's been three years. It

<v Speaker 1>was January of last year. His timeline was off a

<v Speaker 1>little bit but he said that they put a little

<v Speaker 1>something together. So he directed our attention to the tron

<v Speaker 1>and they showed highlights This is before Tribal Combat at

<v Speaker 1>the beginning of last year, where he was saying that

<v Speaker 1>he would acknowledge Roman if he lost tribal combat, right,

<v Speaker 1>he would get the ula follow back. He'll happily acknowledge

<v Speaker 1>Roman if he loses to him fair and square, which

<v Speaker 1>he did, and he did acknowledge Roman, but he never

<v Speaker 1>returned to the family. He didn't want to go back.

<v Speaker 1>He didn't want to have anything to do with the family.

<v Speaker 1>And then last week they showed the clip of him

<v Speaker 1>telling jay Usso to tell Roman reins you know, he

<v Speaker 1>could kiss his ass. So now we come back live.

<v Speaker 1>Roman is a time traveler, yes, and Cody beat him

<v Speaker 1>thirteen years ago. Yeah, his timeline is a little off.

<v Speaker 1>Come back live. Roman is staring a hole through Solo.

<v Speaker 1>Solo's biting his lip, just holding back a smile. Barely

<v Speaker 1>We got Solo chance from the crowd. Roman said, Buffalo

<v Speaker 1>may think this is funny, but my question is this,

<v Speaker 1>why do you think it's funny? He says, you're a

<v Speaker 1>cool guy. Now, huh you got He's looking at his

<v Speaker 1>I assume he's talking about his watch. Roman's big watch guy.

<v Speaker 1>He's looking at him. He goes, oh, you gotta you

<v Speaker 1>gotta John Meyer on you. Huh, you got your little chain.

<v Speaker 1>He pulled solo sunglasses off, through him down, stomped on him.

<v Speaker 1>He goes, why are you even looking me in the

<v Speaker 1>eye right now? Why aren't you on your hands and

<v Speaker 1>knees begging me right now? And that was the cue,

<v Speaker 1>I guess for Jacob to deliver the superkick, not to Roman,

<v Speaker 1>that would have gotten a big pop. He superkicks Solo

<v Speaker 1>in the face and then he put the tongue in

<v Speaker 1>death grip on so Roman screams enough like Cody would.

<v Speaker 1>Jacob releases the grip. Solo is writhing around on the

<v Speaker 1>mat holding his throat, and Roman says, you're not too funny, now,

<v Speaker 1>are you. It goes matter of fact, Solo's gonna have

<v Speaker 1>to wait there for a little bit because I got

<v Speaker 1>other business to handle. Because the Twins, they call the play,

<v Speaker 1>they execute the play. They level up. And he wants

<v Speaker 1>this to be understood. He's the tribal chief and these

<v Speaker 1>are his captains. These are made men. If you disrespect them,

<v Speaker 1>you disrespect him, so a stagehand. I don't know, maybe

<v Speaker 1>it was Lord Mark. I couldn't see who it was

<v Speaker 1>off camera, but they reached up and they handed Roman

<v Speaker 1>two black Oula follows and Roman placed one around Jimmy's neck.

<v Speaker 1>He plays the other one around Jay's neck. Meanwhile, they

<v Speaker 1>showed Jacob in the corner and he is fuming, right

<v Speaker 1>because there's none for him, so they have La fallows

<v Speaker 1>but not him. Plus Jay had disrespected him earlier and

<v Speaker 1>said who's the punk ass now, right, so Jacob is

<v Speaker 1>not happy. Roman tells Solo, get your ass up, and

<v Speaker 1>then we hear La Knight's music, big pop for l

<v Speaker 1>A Knight. He walks out, takes off the vest. He's like, ah,

<v Speaker 1>what we got here? Four on one whatever? He gets up

<v Speaker 1>on the apron. He low bridges Jay Usso out over

<v Speaker 1>the top row. He hip tossed Jimmy out of the ring.

<v Speaker 1>He gets inside. Jacob attacks from behind and he's going

<v Speaker 1>to apply the Tonguan death grip. As he's coming in

<v Speaker 1>to apply the Tonguan death grip, Roman stops him, backs

<v Speaker 1>him into the corner. He's brow beating him. He's yelling.

<v Speaker 1>I couldn't hear everything he was saying, but it was

<v Speaker 1>probably again last week he told them no one puts

<v Speaker 1>their hands on Night except me, so I would imagine

<v Speaker 1>he was probably telling them off for that. And he

<v Speaker 1>delivers the Superman punch of his own, does Roman to

<v Speaker 1>La Knight. So now he mounts him and he's gonna

<v Speaker 1>go pummel Night, but he stops. He looks over at Solo,

<v Speaker 1>who's licking his wounds in the corner, and he tells

<v Speaker 1>the ussos to pick him up, pick up La Knight,

<v Speaker 1>so they do, and then Roman grabs Solo and he

<v Speaker 1>goes where your family, says, I brought you in. You

<v Speaker 1>got to make some tough decisions now, end him. I

<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have to do it. You do it. You're here

<v Speaker 1>to serve, serve your family now, and Solo is thinking

<v Speaker 1>about it, and he just starts saying I'm sorry, singing

<v Speaker 1>to La Night, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, saying he's sorry

<v Speaker 1>over and over and over again. And then he goes

<v Speaker 1>to deliver the spike and he turns and he spikes

<v Speaker 1>Roman instead, and everybody pops. If you remember the segment

<v Speaker 1>many years ago where jay Uso said I'm out and

<v Speaker 1>he gave Roman the superkick and everybody lost their shit.

<v Speaker 1>This wasn't as big as that, but it was sort

<v Speaker 1>of the same thing where it's like, okay, we got

<v Speaker 1>the little swerve Roman, you know, in this case took

<v Speaker 1>a spike and not a superkick, and everybody lost their minds.

<v Speaker 1>The crowd goes crazy. Then he does Solo does the

<v Speaker 1>gun gesture like Jay usso does. He does it towards

<v Speaker 1>j right, that's his warning shot. Jay comes at him,

<v Speaker 1>but he gets sent outside. He back elbows Jimmy, which

<v Speaker 1>knocks Jimmy backwards into a BFT from La Night. Outside

<v Speaker 1>the ring, Solo goes and spikes j over by the

<v Speaker 1>timekeeper's barricade in the ring. Night and Fat two. Now

<v Speaker 1>they're face to face and Jacob is He's just standing

<v Speaker 1>there in the corner with his arms kind of crossed,

<v Speaker 1>and he's refusing to live to finger to him because

<v Speaker 1>again he was yelled at by Roman, so he's just

<v Speaker 1>gonna stand there like a good soldier and not do anything.

<v Speaker 1>Roman tried to catch him with a Superman punch, Night though,

<v Speaker 1>caught him instead with the BFT, and all through this

<v Speaker 1>again Jacob just stood there. Solo gets back in the

<v Speaker 1>ring and La Knight is there. He's looking at Solo,

<v Speaker 1>Solo's looking at him. Night puts his fist out, Solo

<v Speaker 1>gives him a fist bump back, and the two of

<v Speaker 1>them leave together as Jacob just stands there with Roman

<v Speaker 1>on the mat. As Bloodline segments go, this was one

<v Speaker 1>of the better ones, the best one we've had in forever.

<v Speaker 1>Even better, Solo now stays babyface instead of dragging this out.

<v Speaker 1>He rejoined for a while. And look, I think that

<v Speaker 1>there could have been some there could have been some

<v Speaker 1>interesting TV segments to come out of that. If you

<v Speaker 1>have Solo unwillingly in the Bloodline or pretending that he's

<v Speaker 1>okay with being back in the Bloodline and he's trying

<v Speaker 1>to sort of infiltrate from within, I mean, there's a

<v Speaker 1>few different ways you could have gone with it. But

<v Speaker 1>I'm happy they're keeping him as a babyface now because

<v Speaker 1>that's the right role for him to be in. Meanwhile,

<v Speaker 1>they're continuing to stoke this tension between Roman and Jacob,

<v Speaker 1>and I don't think I mean, I feel the same

<v Speaker 1>way I felt before, which is that when Roman loses

<v Speaker 1>the World Heavyweight Championship, he's going to disappear. So when

<v Speaker 1>he disappears and he's ready to leave again, that's when

<v Speaker 1>they pull the trigger on Jacob, turning on him. Jacob

<v Speaker 1>then takes his spot, and Jacob will lead the bloodline.

<v Speaker 1>I said this, you know Zillafa two debuted on NXT

<v Speaker 1>last week, and I don't know how long they plan

<v Speaker 1>on keeping him down there. I think you can keep

<v Speaker 1>him down there for a while. I don't think there's

<v Speaker 1>any rush to get him on the main roster. It's

<v Speaker 1>not the blood line is going anywhere. The blood Line's

<v Speaker 1>going to be here for another five or ten years,

<v Speaker 1>so you can give him a run as the NXT champion.

<v Speaker 1>You can keep him down there for a fucking year

<v Speaker 1>if you want to. But when the time is right

<v Speaker 1>and he gets called up, he can be to Jacob

<v Speaker 1>what Jacob is at the moment to Roman, maybe not

<v Speaker 1>as much of a like a man servant, but kind

<v Speaker 1>of like his right hand guy. And we again, we

<v Speaker 1>know the blood line is still going to be around,

<v Speaker 1>but you kind of give it a makeover. Roman goes

<v Speaker 1>away for a while, Jacob takes that leadership position. Eventually

<v Speaker 1>Zilla comes up. Zilla could be his boy. Do you

<v Speaker 1>keep the usos in there. You know, right now, Jacob

<v Speaker 1>and the USO's are not exactly seeing ey to. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know Jacob would want them in the bloodline, but

<v Speaker 1>without them, you don't have much of a bloodlin. You

<v Speaker 1>got two people. So but there's ways that you can

<v Speaker 1>kind of give it a makeover. I don't think whatever

<v Speaker 1>happens with Jacob, though, happens until Roman loses that title.

<v Speaker 1>If you are of the belief that Roman is going

<v Speaker 1>to lose to La Night, maybe it happens in a

<v Speaker 1>couple of months. I'm not one of those people. I

<v Speaker 1>think we're looking at like WrestleMania next year. It's going

<v Speaker 1>to be a while, but I think that's what they're

<v Speaker 1>ultimately building towards. So he didn't look very happy in

<v Speaker 1>this segment. But I don't think that there's some sort of,

<v Speaker 1>you know, imminent explosion that's going to be happening. I

<v Speaker 1>just don't think they're ready for that yet. You know,

<v Speaker 1>I don't think Roman is going anywhere yet. I really

<v Speaker 1>hope we're not in for like a bloodline civil war

<v Speaker 1>type thing at wargames. I would hope they have some

<v Speaker 1>other idea for wargames, or if the Bloodline is going

<v Speaker 1>to be in there. Just keep them all on one side,

<v Speaker 1>you know, have a completely different team on the other.

<v Speaker 1>That's too early to start speculating about wargames. But as

<v Speaker 1>I said at the beginning, what this also tells me,

<v Speaker 1>and there's just my take on this, is that if

<v Speaker 1>we were going to get a championship changing hands and

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

<v Speaker 1>to La Night, as many of you I know would

<v Speaker 1>love to see and I would love to see it too,

<v Speaker 1>I just don't think it will. I think that the

<v Speaker 1>way they may have wanted to do it would have

<v Speaker 1>been to have Solo stay in the Bloodline for a

<v Speaker 1>couple of months, you know, and be a good soldier

<v Speaker 1>and be with his family, and then when it was

<v Speaker 1>time for him to kind of nut up or shut

<v Speaker 1>up and help out Roman, that's when he spikes Roman

<v Speaker 1>and he helps La Knight win the championship. And they

<v Speaker 1>didn't do that, they gave us the spike tonight. I

<v Speaker 1>just think it makes it that much less likely that

<v Speaker 1>we get that big moment with Knight, assuming that match

<v Speaker 1>happens and money in the bank. And again I'm not

<v Speaker 1>saying that they're instead setting up Solo to kind of

<v Speaker 1>turn heel on Night and cost him the title. At

<v Speaker 1>least I fucking hope not. I'm not saying that, but

<v Speaker 1>had he joined the Bloodline and was going to be

<v Speaker 1>there for a while, I might have started to buy

<v Speaker 1>into some of the hype about Night possibly winning the belt.

<v Speaker 1>Now I just feel the same way I've always felt

<v Speaker 1>about it. But I liked that the Bloodline was more

<v Speaker 1>overtly heel. Hopefully they'll keep that going. This was a

<v Speaker 1>very strong episode. Again, it was more in the line

<v Speaker 1>with the one we got coming out of Summer Slim

<v Speaker 1>more so than whatever the hell we got last week.

<v Speaker 1>We got the big solo swerve at the end, the

<v Speaker 1>big angle, great icy title match, some other good wrestling matches,

<v Speaker 1>and we have a big match confirmed for sunday Nights

<v Speaker 1>main event. I'm gonna get Obafemi and bron Breaker, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm glad we're doing it instead of dragging things out

<v Speaker 1>and doing all the matches on you know, like a

<v Speaker 1>bigger show like a WrestleMania or something like. Let's get

<v Speaker 1>to some of this now. No need to wait around

<v Speaker 1>on this stuff. Let's get to some of this shit now.

<v Speaker 1>Punch says, I see a three on three match, Jacob

<v Speaker 1>joins solo in l A Knight. Are you talking about

<v Speaker 1>war games? What? Three on three are you talking about?

<v Speaker 1>Jacob could cause Roman the title or cost him you mean, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I mean that's that's what I'm talking about. That's the idea.

<v Speaker 1>You could do it that way. You don't have to, though.

<v Speaker 1>You could have Roman just lose and maybe that very

<v Speaker 1>next raw he gets booted out. What was it like

<v Speaker 1>all those years ago? Was it was the Rock? When

<v Speaker 1>did the Rock get booted out of the corporation? Was

<v Speaker 1>not after WRESTLEMANI he was after backlash? I think, right,

<v Speaker 1>So you can have him lose and then on the

<v Speaker 1>very next show Jacob leads sort of a revolt against

<v Speaker 1>Roman and they put a beatdown on him. There's your

<v Speaker 1>excuse for Roman disappearing for a few months, so it

<v Speaker 1>doesn't have to be a situation where Jacob costs him

<v Speaker 1>the belt. Waiting until Mania for Roman to drop the

<v Speaker 1>belt is ridiculous. Really, you don't know the way WWE operates,

<v Speaker 1>don't you. You don't think they won't want Roman at

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania next year, especially if they're not getting Rock Brock

<v Speaker 1>is supposedly retired, right, all these big names they're probably

<v Speaker 1>not going to be able to have access to for

<v Speaker 1>that show. You'd think you're going to get a WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>without Roman Reigns Goodbo. Now, if he's not defending the

<v Speaker 1>championship on that show, realistically, what else would he be

<v Speaker 1>doing at WrestleMania next year? Wrestling Jacob maybe, but he's

<v Speaker 1>probably defending the title against Alba. Come on, now, I

<v Speaker 1>need an Oula Falla for these streams. They do sell them,

<v Speaker 1>don't they. How much are they going for? Probably too much? Anywait,

<v Speaker 1>let's get to your super chats here, let's get into

<v Speaker 1>your messages. See what you thought of for all tonight.

<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it wrestling brock Lesnar again

<v Speaker 1>at WrestleMania as they both come out of retirement. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>how about we don't do that quizzical one. What do

<v Speaker 1>you call a religious pile of hay Christian Bale? I

<v Speaker 1>like that. I've heard worse the Sheltered Kid, because I

<v Speaker 1>was a kid around twenty fourteen. How good or bed

<v Speaker 1>was the authority? It was, for the most part very bad.

<v Speaker 1>The best part of the authority was playing foil for

<v Speaker 1>Daniel Brian for him to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

<v Speaker 1>That aspect of the authority worked very well, But a

<v Speaker 1>lot of the other shit the authority did, and again

<v Speaker 1>sticking around for too long, it did not make for

<v Speaker 1>great TV. Outside of the Brian stuff, it did not

<v Speaker 1>make for good TV. Also, side question, are Kurt and

<v Speaker 1>Brett tied for the best? If so, who is better

<v Speaker 1>and why? It's all subjective. It's all subjective For me.

<v Speaker 1>Brett is the guy. His matches have more replay value

<v Speaker 1>for me than most, including Kurt. Kurt's had great matches,

<v Speaker 1>but I hold Brett in a higher regard. You can't

<v Speaker 1>go wrong picking either one of them though. Also is

<v Speaker 1>the McMahon family being replaced by the Anawaii's no dry chicken?

<v Speaker 1>Says Opa Femi against bron Breaker Femi beats Braun. Sorry,

<v Speaker 1>the Bloodline are the nWo more family members keep coming

<v Speaker 1>to WWE? Well, the Bloodline has a waye to go

<v Speaker 1>if they want to catch up to the nWo in

<v Speaker 1>terms of members. We're not quite there yet. We may

<v Speaker 1>get there, We're not there yet. Super Pony with a

<v Speaker 1>nine ninety nine. I thought Raw was excellent tonight. The

<v Speaker 1>wrestling was awesome. I love the closing segment the ring

<v Speaker 1>Gable match was fucking awesome. Yeah, that match was quite great.

<v Speaker 1>GMB says, outside of Rocks, Judgment Day equals Channel Changers. Unfortunately,

<v Speaker 1>you are correct, the Judgment Day jumped the Shark a

<v Speaker 1>long time ago. Long time ago. Nick Grosso rip Hayden Panitaire.

<v Speaker 1>Thirty six is too young to leave this world. Also,

<v Speaker 1>I'm glad that Solo didn't fall in line. And it

<v Speaker 1>looks like Jacob is leaving the Bloodline soon. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know about that. They're teasing it. That doesn't mean he's

<v Speaker 1>leaving soon, though. I wouldn't get my hopes up on that.

<v Speaker 1>The way they love to drag shit out. You know

<v Speaker 1>how many times I've been fooled on that. We just

<v Speaker 1>talked about the Judgment Day. You have many teases we

<v Speaker 1>had for like Balor and Dom and like how fucking

<v Speaker 1>long they dragged that nonsense out for. I don't assume

<v Speaker 1>anything when it comes to that. Abystle zones La Night

<v Speaker 1>is so over that both Cody and Roman have been

<v Speaker 1>booed against him this year, it seems like a pretty

<v Speaker 1>good reason to put a world title on him. To me,

<v Speaker 1>you should be booking the show. I don't know. I

<v Speaker 1>mean there are multiple times in La Night promos where

<v Speaker 1>he's brought up Roman and in like a negative way

<v Speaker 1>and they boo La Knight. So there's a lot of

<v Speaker 1>Roman fans out there who will boo La Night when

<v Speaker 1>he's talking shit about Roman reigns. Jason tar a one

<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars bomb? Was that? Wait a minute? Was that

<v Speaker 1>was that j Man from earlier? I think it might

<v Speaker 1>be Jason, thank you brother for that bomb. I think

<v Speaker 1>that might have been the first one that we talked

<v Speaker 1>about earlier, unless that was another one that came. But

<v Speaker 1>I'm no, I'm pretty that might have been a different one. Hey, Jason,

<v Speaker 1>thank you man. Some be airhorn love there. I appreciate that.

<v Speaker 1>Solid raw. Tonight, Chad Gable and Ray Mysterio was a

<v Speaker 1>great match. It's the best match on the show. Ray

<v Speaker 1>every time Man, he turns back the hands of time,

<v Speaker 1>turns back the clock. I don't know how he does it,

<v Speaker 1>but he finds a way. Velvet Floor eighteen. How excited

<v Speaker 1>is Rakishi right now? I think Rikishi is probably at peace.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's throwing furniture. You know, sometimes he

<v Speaker 1>gets very aggravated over certain things that happen on TV,

<v Speaker 1>but he has no reason to be aggravated right now.

<v Speaker 1>He should be very happy. Saint James Entertainment swap the

<v Speaker 1>solo swerve for Jacob turning at Money in the Bank. Look,

<v Speaker 1>I would love to see it. I just don't know

<v Speaker 1>if they're ready to do it just yet. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know if they're ready to pull that trigger just yet.

<v Speaker 1>Bossmo Jackson raw was two thumbs up. Show Yes it was,

<v Speaker 1>Saint James. Did you see the two time Wiener gobbler

<v Speaker 1>behind Roman? What come again? I don't know what you're

<v Speaker 1>talking about. I did not. I was not looking for that,

<v Speaker 1>nor did I see that or else. I certainly would

<v Speaker 1>have mentioned that during the review. The Shawnathan says, I

<v Speaker 1>pray Creative doesn't do this, but I could see solo

<v Speaker 1>costing La Knight the title at Money in the Bank. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>I could see them doing that too. It'd be like, Oh,

<v Speaker 1>we got an even better swerve that we can save

<v Speaker 1>for the fucking pay per view spray Ja with a

<v Speaker 1>fifteen dollars super chet. I need a solo in La

<v Speaker 1>Vignette taking Roman's yacht for a joy ride, a La

<v Speaker 1>Stepbrothers style stat Yeah, I mean the good the good

<v Speaker 1>news about keeping the two of them, mister Delish says, enough,

<v Speaker 1>the good thing about keeping the two of them as

<v Speaker 1>friends is that there is a lot of potential to

<v Speaker 1>some real comedy, like backstage comedy. I mean, you don't

<v Speaker 1>want to go too overboard with it, but I hope

<v Speaker 1>they tap into that. Aaron nine. We read Aaron's message earlier.

<v Speaker 1>He was at the show tonight. Aaron, thank you for

<v Speaker 1>the love, brother. I haven't heard from Aaron in a while.

<v Speaker 1>Good to see you brother. Fucking awesome. What are we

<v Speaker 1>seven out of ten? On the goal? Yeah, the way

<v Speaker 1>the wheel landed for the be the Booker stuff, it's

<v Speaker 1>the likes have been disregarded in favor of the bonus call.

<v Speaker 1>That's what we landed on. So we're going based on that.

<v Speaker 1>We're seven out of ten right now on that we're

<v Speaker 1>almost there. We're climbing. We're not quite there yet. EJ.

<v Speaker 1>Slamp with a four ninety nine Mets fan, White Sox fan,

<v Speaker 1>asking can we get a fuck Pete Crow Armstrong? Fuck

<v Speaker 1>Pete Crow Armstrong. Cubs traded a prick Hobby Bayez for

<v Speaker 1>another prick PCA more arrogant than Utley. I think it

<v Speaker 1>would be very difficult to be more arrogant than Chase Utley.

<v Speaker 1>My favorite sign ever at a baseball game was actually

<v Speaker 1>outside the stadium. It was many years ago. It was

<v Speaker 1>a pre show or post show panel with Gary Keith

<v Speaker 1>and Ron outside the stadium and there was a fan

<v Speaker 1>standing behind them. I still have it on my phone.

<v Speaker 1>There's a fan standing behind them with a giant sign

<v Speaker 1>that says Chase Utlely deserves the electric chair and I

<v Speaker 1>endorse that. Thank you. Eja. Nick Grosso the nine ninety

<v Speaker 1>nine says, maybe instead of Solo spiking Roman, maybe Jacob

<v Speaker 1>screws Roman at Money in the Bank. I just hope

<v Speaker 1>they don't have Solo betray Knight and help Roman win.

<v Speaker 1>That would be terrible, Yes, but Nick, it's what we do.

<v Speaker 1>It's what we do, Nick. We tell stories, We swerve people,

<v Speaker 1>We zig when you think we're gonna zag. It's what

<v Speaker 1>we do. Yeah, that would be pretty terrible. Prince Vegeta says,

<v Speaker 1>what a quote unquote babyface Roman is telling fans to

<v Speaker 1>acknowledge him, bragging about how good his life is, feuding

<v Speaker 1>with popular babyfaces, breaking people's proper. Yeah, he stomped on

<v Speaker 1>his sunglasses. What a babyface? Else, I says. This is

<v Speaker 1>Lyra's first match on TV in almost a month since

<v Speaker 1>she got that huge way in over the legendary Bailey.

<v Speaker 1>Wwe really knows how to keep momentum going. Oh, sure

<v Speaker 1>they do. They're so great at it, aren't they. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>Duff's VID's with a nineteen ninety nine. Haven't been around

<v Speaker 1>to know if this has been brought up. But why

<v Speaker 1>is it that Michael Cole keeps stop saying a sentence random? Okay,

<v Speaker 1>So I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed this.

<v Speaker 1>So I've noticed this has become a real issue since

<v Speaker 1>they went to Netflix. They will be coming back from

<v Speaker 1>a commercial break, for example, and Michael Cole will begin

<v Speaker 1>to do you a plug, right, He's gonna promote something,

<v Speaker 1>and then the audio just cuts out and I hear

<v Speaker 1>the raw music playing and they're just showing the crowd

<v Speaker 1>and like five or ten seconds go by of nothing, nothing.

<v Speaker 1>So something is going on where I don't know if

<v Speaker 1>it's I don't know, I don't know if it's for

<v Speaker 1>certain feeds they're cutting the audio. It's very weird, and yes,

<v Speaker 1>it happens on SmackDown too. Okay, yeah, that's true, it's

<v Speaker 1>not just raw. I don't know why that happens. That

<v Speaker 1>never happened before, That never used to happen. Now, it's

<v Speaker 1>like I know that they would normally, like I could

<v Speaker 1>hear in my head Cole doing a plug, but like

<v Speaker 1>the audio gets cut, we just hear the raw music

<v Speaker 1>and then they just go on to whatever the next

<v Speaker 1>segment is ten seconds later. I don't know. I don't

<v Speaker 1>have a good answer for you. Dan Housen cursed the audio.

<v Speaker 1>This pre dates Dan Housen. This has been going on

<v Speaker 1>for a lot longer than that. Bes Verus Judgment Day

<v Speaker 1>could use Big Casts, And you know, I hate to

<v Speaker 1>say it, but I think you're probably right. I see

<v Speaker 1>at this point, I would rather they just kill the

<v Speaker 1>Judgment Day dead. But honestly, if you want to keep

<v Speaker 1>the Judgment Day around, they need some new blood, and

<v Speaker 1>I think that could benefit Big Cast, especially if they

<v Speaker 1>use it in such a way that they can develop

<v Speaker 1>his personalities character a little bit more in some backstage segments.

<v Speaker 1>Because I mean, right now, it's fine, he just came back.

<v Speaker 1>He's going to randomly show up and kill dudes. Okay, cool,

<v Speaker 1>But after a while, you're going to have to do

<v Speaker 1>more than that, you know, flesh out that character a

<v Speaker 1>little bit. That's one thing the Judgment Day was always

<v Speaker 1>good for. What would JD McDonough be doing if it

<v Speaker 1>wasn't for the Judgment Day, Like, honestly, would he even

<v Speaker 1>be on TV? The Judgment Day was demonstrably beneficial for

<v Speaker 1>certain people. Over the years. They have gotten incredibly lazy.

<v Speaker 1>They have not added any new members recently, and they

<v Speaker 1>keep doing the same old shit with the existing members.

<v Speaker 1>They're down to two guys, three girls, And what exactly

<v Speaker 1>is the purpose of the Judgment Day? What exactly does

<v Speaker 1>the Judgment Day really bring to the show at this

<v Speaker 1>point not a whole hell of a lot. So adding

<v Speaker 1>a couple of new members and booting out some other

<v Speaker 1>ones that have overstayed their welcome probably is the way

<v Speaker 1>to go. Presto Changoh bloodline splits in two, the Bloodline

<v Speaker 1>and the gas Line. MGM balling with a nine ninety

<v Speaker 1>nine needed a cold shower after seeing Stephanie in the

<v Speaker 1>opening segment. But in all seriousness, Live has become get

<v Speaker 1>off my TV cringe and I was a big fan

<v Speaker 1>at one point. Give me Jacob turning on Roman and

<v Speaker 1>La winning MGM. I think, boy, you're you're asking an

<v Speaker 1>awful lot of this creative team. I think you may

<v Speaker 1>be setting yourself up for some big disappointment. Brother, temper

<v Speaker 1>those expectations. I'm just saying, just bring it down just

<v Speaker 1>a little bit. I'm with you, but you gotta temper

<v Speaker 1>those expectations. And RD Beats with a twenty. Hey, it's

<v Speaker 1>our d Beats, It's Dylan. Everybody just want to say

<v Speaker 1>I won my dog collar match? All right? How about that?

<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you lost the dog collar match, you

<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be able to hang around here anymore where you

<v Speaker 1>have to hang your head in shame. It was my

<v Speaker 1>first time. Oh you got color? Okay, this first time

<v Speaker 1>getting color, even though I didn't bleed as much as

<v Speaker 1>my opponent, and I ended up cutting a great tear

<v Speaker 1>in my with a wait, cutting a great tear in

<v Speaker 1>my eye like promo afterwards. Well, if that's on video,

<v Speaker 1>you'll have to tweet me or share it with me.

<v Speaker 1>It's Rick Flair esque promo. Well, congrats on the big win.

<v Speaker 1>You know, Dylan's been keeping us updated periodically on his career,

<v Speaker 1>how things are progressing. I love getting these updates and

<v Speaker 1>last but not least here Barry MK with a five

<v Speaker 1>MS and kit going back to normal without being explained

<v Speaker 1>last week, and their story with Dan Housen just ended.

<v Speaker 1>Is so lazy they don't even try anymore. Yeah, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>but let's be honest, like, who gives a shit about

<v Speaker 1>that story? That story was garbage. Yeah, we never got

<v Speaker 1>to payoff to what was under the sheet either. It

<v Speaker 1>was probably gonna be Baron Corbin. And then they came

<v Speaker 1>to their senses and said, hey, maybe we should debut

<v Speaker 1>him a little more seriously, and now he's the United

<v Speaker 1>States champion. Guarantee you that that's how they were going

<v Speaker 1>to bring him back. And then there was a creative

<v Speaker 1>shift and then the body under the white sheet and

<v Speaker 1>the laboratory story just went away. I don't think it's

<v Speaker 1>been mentioned or teased in like two months. Of course,

<v Speaker 1>it's lazy, of course it is, But like in this case,

<v Speaker 1>who cares. I'd like to pretend that none of that

<v Speaker 1>even happened. I think that's probably the way to go.

<v Speaker 1>But solo who attacked Jacob Fatu, Well, if you ask

<v Speaker 1>all these people, it was Drew Magensar because he said

<v Speaker 1>so Yeah, another aborted storyline. EJ. Slamp I said it

<v Speaker 1>because the Cubs literally traded arrogant Hobby Baias to the

<v Speaker 1>Mets for arrogant PCA NL MVP front runner and Babe

<v Speaker 1>Ruth existed. Denier fuck PCA. You know, at first when

<v Speaker 1>you said that before I read that, For some reason,

<v Speaker 1>I've read that as PCO, Like, what did PCO do

<v Speaker 1>that was so wrong? PCO is awesome? And Devin, what's

<v Speaker 1>the four to one one on the Sena tournament? These days?

<v Speaker 1>I don't even think they know. They're literally trying to

<v Speaker 1>figure it out on the fly. They do not have

<v Speaker 1>all the details worked out. I feel like WWE just

<v Speaker 1>kind of sucks at doing stables lately. With that being said,

<v Speaker 1>what are some of your favorite stables? I mean, the

<v Speaker 1>og nWo is kind of hard to talk given all

<v Speaker 1>the success and influence they had, the Heart Foundation, the

<v Speaker 1>Heenan family. I'm not ranking them, by the way, I'm

<v Speaker 1>just kind of the ones that I enjoyed. I'm just

<v Speaker 1>kind of naming them. Obviously. The Four Horsemen. As far

<v Speaker 1>as which like version of the Horsemen, probably of the bunch,

<v Speaker 1>I would go with the one that had Barry wind

<v Speaker 1>A minute. It's like the best version of the Horsemen.

<v Speaker 1>The Shield Shield is one of the greatest factions in

<v Speaker 1>the history of that company. So yeah, it's a whole

<v Speaker 1>bunch right there for you to chew on. Neckro says

<v Speaker 1>Raven's Flock in ECW. We'ren't a fan of Raven's Flock

<v Speaker 1>in WCW with Sick Boy and Kidman Nation of Domination,

<v Speaker 1>that is sick theme. Prince Begeta says saw Obsession. Bear

<v Speaker 1>is the true heel. There's full videos on YouTube about

<v Speaker 1>like the moment that people realized. It's fascinating to see

<v Speaker 1>their reactions. They are actually content creators. And like with

<v Speaker 1>channels and the hundreds of thousands of subscribers that have

<v Speaker 1>been canceled by people because they didn't pick up on

<v Speaker 1>what was going on with Bear, or they laughed through it,

<v Speaker 1>or they just kind of made light of it, there

<v Speaker 1>are people wanting to cancel them for it. Ken Ryan,

<v Speaker 1>thank you for the dollar ninety nine. My friend appreciate it. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>the different reactions that people have had to to the

<v Speaker 1>movie have been very interesting to see. It certainly ignited

<v Speaker 1>a great debate about a lot of different things. All Right, Well,

<v Speaker 1>I appreciate all the support and we have well, we

<v Speaker 1>actually hit five oh seven on the likes. It's too

<v Speaker 1>bad we didn't have an actual likes goal tonight. We

<v Speaker 1>would have smashed it, but the Wheel did wheel things again.

<v Speaker 1>Here's the wheel. It said bonus goal only, so we

<v Speaker 1>have to go buy what the Wheel says. Tomorrow is

<v Speaker 1>going to be a brand new episode of The Uncrowned

<v Speaker 1>Wrestling Show that'll be going up a little bit later

<v Speaker 1>on in the day. And I've got some more mailbag

<v Speaker 1>questions that you guys have sent in, so we'll get

<v Speaker 1>to some of your Q and A on tomorrow's episode

<v Speaker 1>as well. And then tomorrow night I'll be live with

<v Speaker 1>jd Over on his channel for a brand new Tuesday

<v Speaker 1>Night Titans. And then Wednesday we have the Dynamite post show.

<v Speaker 1>Friday's a big SmackDown because we have the WWE Championship

<v Speaker 1>on the line. See I'm Punk defending against Kevin Owens

<v Speaker 1>in Toronto. I'm sure Sammy Zain will be lurking. Oh

<v Speaker 1>I forgot to mention Raw next week. Just a little

<v Speaker 1>programming note. They're in Ottawa, Raw airing earlier than usual

<v Speaker 1>early start time six pm Eastern. I believe they're taping

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown that night, which is why they're doing that. So

<v Speaker 1>six pm Raw, I'm probably gonna watch it live and

<v Speaker 1>go live right after. So the stream next week probably

<v Speaker 1>going to be a couple of hours earlier, maybe around nine,

<v Speaker 1>So just be aware of that. I'll remind you guys

<v Speaker 1>on the sound off this weekend. But yeah, they kind

<v Speaker 1>of they kind of threw that in there in the

<v Speaker 1>middle of the show, like, oh, by the way, 'raw

<v Speaker 1>next week, six o'clock in the evening. Okay, oh look

<v Speaker 1>at this, you sons of bitches. Look at this. Look

<v Speaker 1>at this. I was on my way out. The rabbit

<v Speaker 1>has joined. The rabbit has hopped on in at just

<v Speaker 1>the right time. Z Ray and MGM ballin. Bonus, be

<v Speaker 1>the booker, baby. They got us to the goal ten

<v Speaker 1>out of ten. Look at that. I was. I was

<v Speaker 1>on my way out. The fucking headphones were coming out,

<v Speaker 1>and then you guys came in in the clutch not

<v Speaker 1>so fast solo. Yeah, well how about that. It is

<v Speaker 1>time It is time to be the booker. Here we go,

<v Speaker 1>ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>I've always got to come in there. At the very

<v Speaker 1>last minute. Always look at that. Amazing it's all the

<v Speaker 1>wheels fault. Yeah, we have our overrun here. This is

<v Speaker 1>my best Tony conn impression. Here. I promise you I

<v Speaker 1>won't go thirty five minutes in my overrun A link master,

<v Speaker 1>thank you for the two bucks. And you guys are

<v Speaker 1>killing it tonight. Well, I at least owe you all

<v Speaker 1>good be the booker. Well, it's not what I had

<v Speaker 1>in mind. We have Al Snow and Steve Blackman, we

<v Speaker 1>have head Cheese, we have a giant block of cheese,

<v Speaker 1>and we have a Manneqan. This right here is a

<v Speaker 1>very ridiculous image that sums up a moment in time,

<v Speaker 1>an era, an era of the past in WWE that

<v Speaker 1>was actually very entertaining. I do miss it. And head

<v Speaker 1>Cheese is going to be taking on the judgment day

<v Speaker 1>Finn Balor and JD McDonough. Wow with Steve Blackman in

<v Speaker 1>the ring the lethal weapon, the lethal weapon going to

<v Speaker 1>be bringing those sticks. I forgot what he calls those sticks.

<v Speaker 1>But are they Kendo sticks? Are they some other special

<v Speaker 1>kind of stick? They're not as big as the Kendo sticks.

<v Speaker 1>Sola monsters Encore. Yeah, we're running it back. This is

<v Speaker 1>our version of running it back here on the stream. Uh,

<v Speaker 1>women's be the booker where they can. Okay, small kendo sticks,

<v Speaker 1>I guess we have Chelsea Green. Look at this woman

<v Speaker 1>draped in gold here in this image. She used to

<v Speaker 1>be the United States champion. She had the Triple A

<v Speaker 1>mixtag teams. What is that other title? Is that the

<v Speaker 1>women's North American title? Did she really have all three? Oh? Wait, no,

<v Speaker 1>maybe that's Ethan holding up. Okay, I can't see whose

<v Speaker 1>hand that is. I think that's Ethan. That's what that is.

<v Speaker 1>That's right, because he put the Canadian backing on the

<v Speaker 1>North American title. Okay, and now look at Chelsea. Now

<v Speaker 1>she's the WWE Women's Champion. Well, let's find out she

<v Speaker 1>needs an opponent. Let's find out who it is. Chelsea

<v Speaker 1>Green and Kyrie Saye. Still waiting to find out where

<v Speaker 1>Kyrie is gonna plant her flag. It's gonna lie. She's

<v Speaker 1>gotten a lot of offers. I'm sure she has. She's

<v Speaker 1>gotten offers from every serious promoter out there. I'm sure.

<v Speaker 1>And our final round, our main event of the evening,

<v Speaker 1>Ray Phoenix, we saw him on the show tonight. With

<v Speaker 1>any luck he'll be in the finals of this tournament.

<v Speaker 1>There's somebody else and be the booker who hopefully he'll

<v Speaker 1>be wrestling in the finals. Wouldn't it be something if

<v Speaker 1>we were to land on him, that would be something,

<v Speaker 1>And it's not. But it is Bad Bunny, you know what.

<v Speaker 1>Bad Bunny and Ray Phoenix. Fuck it. That's clean sweet

<v Speaker 1>right there. Think about the match that he had with

<v Speaker 1>Damian Priest. I think a match between Bad Bunny and

<v Speaker 1>Ray Phoenix could be everybody's good Bad Bunny. He won

<v Speaker 1>some points with me for that match that he had

<v Speaker 1>with Damian Priest. Well, look, if we were only going

<v Speaker 1>to do one round of this shit, at least we

<v Speaker 1>got a clean sweep out of it. That's that's what

<v Speaker 1>you want to see. That's right. Why not? Why not?

<v Speaker 1>Why not? H We got Cam want to send a

<v Speaker 1>birthday shout out to my girl Ellie, who's been watching

<v Speaker 1>your lives as well. Pretty cool having a lady who

<v Speaker 1>will watch wrestling and anime with you. That's what you

<v Speaker 1>call a keeper, Cam, So shout out to you and

<v Speaker 1>shout out to Ellie. That's awesome also, he says, and

<v Speaker 1>the Libido of nineteen ninety nine May Young my kid.

<v Speaker 1>Happy birthday, Ellie Solo. Your birthday is coming soon. I

<v Speaker 1>wasn't sure when I first started reading that second super chat,

<v Speaker 1>I wasn't sure what that was referring to. It's a

<v Speaker 1>good thing you put the laughing emoji in there. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>Happy birthday to Ellie, hopefully she is watching and link

<v Speaker 1>Master ri p. Hayden Panetaire. Yes, we mentioned that earlier.

<v Speaker 1>I think that's everything. Now I believe that's all of it.

<v Speaker 1>Gotta let you see you gotta love those last minute sweeps, man,

<v Speaker 1>you gotta love those last minute sweeps. Those are the

<v Speaker 1>best I'll see for the Dynamite Stream and Uncrowned tomorrow.
