<v Speaker 1>I will say this. The first two and a half

<v Speaker 1>hours or so of tonight's Monday Night Raw was very boring.

<v Speaker 1>And then we hit Chad Gable and Ray Phoenix for

<v Speaker 1>the Intercontinental Championship. And the moment that those two men

<v Speaker 1>hit the ring and came out for their match, and then,

<v Speaker 1>of course, it led into the main event and the

<v Speaker 1>closing angle, that's where things really picked up big time

<v Speaker 1>here on this show. That Intercontinental title match... I would

<v Speaker 1>say maybe not heat wise compared to Roman Reigns in

<v Speaker 1>LA night, which was excellent and money in the bank,

<v Speaker 1>but just as a wrestling match, uh, that was probably

<v Speaker 1>better than anything that we saw on that money in

<v Speaker 1>the bank show on Saturday. Uh, and it was certainly

<v Speaker 1>one of the better television matches that we have had

<v Speaker 1>on raw all year. Chad Gable is fucking awesome. Uh,

<v Speaker 1>Ray Phoenix is awesome too, but, uh, Chad Gable, just

<v Speaker 1>being able to go out there and just wrestle great

<v Speaker 1>wrestling matches for 15 minutes at a time, 20 minutes

<v Speaker 1>at a time, is fantastic. Because that's what he does best.

<v Speaker 1>He's probably the best wrestler that they have in the

<v Speaker 1>entire company, and now we get to see him go

<v Speaker 1>out there in these types of matches, as we did

<v Speaker 1>in Mexico City last month, and do what brought him

<v Speaker 1>to the dance. So I thought that match tonight was excellent.

<v Speaker 1>And then we had the bloodline, and we had the

<v Speaker 1>9-4-6 match. Now, they announced this match last week, which

<v Speaker 1>surprised me that they actually announced it a week in advance,

<v Speaker 1>that they announced anything with 9-4-6 a week in advance.

<v Speaker 1>This is our first time being able to see them

<v Speaker 1>together in the ring as a unit. And they saved

<v Speaker 1>it for the end of the show. It was a

<v Speaker 1>big brawl. And then it built to a moment late

<v Speaker 1>in the match because, remember, Roman Reigns was not there.

<v Speaker 1>We had Solo, Sokoa, and The Usos on the same side.

<v Speaker 1>Jacob fought too. He was run over by a car

<v Speaker 1>a few weeks ago, so obviously he's convalescing somewhere. Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reigns could not be bothered because Roman Reigns has a

<v Speaker 1>new movie coming out this week. He'll be back next week.

<v Speaker 1>So he was not there. And so the Bloodline had

<v Speaker 1>to fend for themselves. They were doing okay. Solo Sokoa

<v Speaker 1>looked like he was on the verge of a win

<v Speaker 1>until a new member emerged. And we see this New person,

<v Speaker 1>which they had to, because War Games is coming up

<v Speaker 1>next month. Very clear that we're on the path to

<v Speaker 1>the Bloodline 946. You got to have enough members to

<v Speaker 1>populate a team. So we had Solo Sokoa threatening to

<v Speaker 1>hit a Samoan spike. He was going to finish off

<v Speaker 1>Royce Keyes here in this match. And that new member

<v Speaker 1>shows his face, and it was a big surprise to

<v Speaker 1>see Carmelo Hayes was underneath the bandana. Appeared behind Solo Sakoa.

<v Speaker 1>Hit him in the leg with a crowbar. He had

<v Speaker 1>been missing for TV about a couple of months. Last

<v Speaker 1>time we saw him on SmackDown, I think he wrestled

<v Speaker 1>Baron Corbin. So we hadn't seen him in a little while.

<v Speaker 1>But there he was. He was out there looking like

<v Speaker 1>a fucking character out of Grand Theft Auto. And he

<v Speaker 1>takes out Solo. All the members of 946 put a

<v Speaker 1>beat down on the Usos, and they are the ones

<v Speaker 1>that are left standing in the end. The bloodline is

<v Speaker 1>laid out. They're all just dead lying in the ring.

<v Speaker 1>Royce Keyes, flanked by all the members of his crew,

<v Speaker 1>putting Roman Reigns on notice. Nobody is safe. And Carmelo

<v Speaker 1>Hayes is now, I guess, the newest member here of

<v Speaker 1>the Monday Night Raw roster. It was all very well done,

<v Speaker 1>what they did here. And I was very happy to

<v Speaker 1>see Carmelo Hayes back on TV. There's been a lot

<v Speaker 1>of people speculating about this man's status, speculating about this

<v Speaker 1>man's future. Oh, you know, he did this to his

<v Speaker 1>social media, he blacked out his social media and all

<v Speaker 1>this other stuff, and that means he's leaving, he's unhappy.

<v Speaker 1>I don't doubt that he may have been unhappy at

<v Speaker 1>points during this year with his booking. I mean, how

<v Speaker 1>can you not be, right? How can you not be frustrated?

<v Speaker 1>After the run that he had with the United States Championship,

<v Speaker 1>to be rewarded with being taken off television... I mean,

<v Speaker 1>let's just call it what it is. He ended up

<v Speaker 1>being off TV most of the time. Anybody would be

<v Speaker 1>frustrated in that spot. But that they had him lined

<v Speaker 1>up for a role like this. They came up with

<v Speaker 1>a spot for him in what is the number one

<v Speaker 1>angle right now going in WWE, certainly on Mondays. But

<v Speaker 1>this is now the top heel faction on Monday nights

<v Speaker 1>and really anywhere in the company. And now he is

<v Speaker 1>going to be a part of that moving forward. That

<v Speaker 1>is a great spot for him to be in. It's

<v Speaker 1>going to get him a lot of visibility on TV.

<v Speaker 1>He's going to get consistent television. And so I'm very

<v Speaker 1>happy to see that. And it's another step on the

<v Speaker 1>path to war games. And now we have to wait

<v Speaker 1>and see, you know, how is Roman Reigns going to

<v Speaker 1>react to this? He's been ignoring the problem. He's been saying,

<v Speaker 1>you know, this 9-4-6 stuff, right? Jacob, that's on you. Solo, like,

<v Speaker 1>this is your problem. I don't want to have anything

<v Speaker 1>to do with it. Well, now he's got no choice, right?

<v Speaker 1>Because now he's got this problem staring him right in

<v Speaker 1>the face. So this is where he gets looped into

<v Speaker 1>this storyline here. I still think Naomi will come back

<v Speaker 1>to combat Jada Parker. But you look at the makeup

<v Speaker 1>of this new crew as it currently exists. And I

<v Speaker 1>think we have to end up getting another member. But

<v Speaker 1>you look at the makeup of the crew as it

<v Speaker 1>is right now. You've got Royce Keyes, obviously, as the

<v Speaker 1>leader of the group. And if anybody is going to

<v Speaker 1>go after Roman Reigns in these next few months and

<v Speaker 1>challenge him at some point for the World Heavyweight Championship,

<v Speaker 1>it would be Royce Keyes. Then you have Carmelo Hayes.

<v Speaker 1>And he's that mid-card workhorse who can go in there

<v Speaker 1>and have those great matches. He's somebody who maybe will

<v Speaker 1>take the Intercontinental title at some point down the road

<v Speaker 1>from Chad Gable. Then you have your tag team in OTM,

<v Speaker 1>Bronco Nima, Lucian Price. Not that they have much of

<v Speaker 1>a tag team division, but They have their tag team.

<v Speaker 1>And then you have Jada Parker, you know, as the

<v Speaker 1>female member of the group. So they already have their

<v Speaker 1>bases covered with the different, you know, parts of this group.

<v Speaker 1>You put them all together. And I like the makeup

<v Speaker 1>of this crew. I like the fact that Royce Keyes

<v Speaker 1>is being put in a leadership position. He gets to

<v Speaker 1>be in a spot where he can lead his own crew.

<v Speaker 1>And again, Carmelo Hayes being back on TV. There's nothing

<v Speaker 1>bad about that. Very, very happy to see him pop

<v Speaker 1>and surprised to see him pop up in that spot tonight.

<v Speaker 1>So we're going to talk about all that. We also

<v Speaker 1>had the first real bit of promotion for these Crown

<v Speaker 1>Jewel title matches. Liv Morgan against Chelsea Green and Roman Reigns,

<v Speaker 1>as things stand, Roman Reigns against Sami Zayn, part two.

<v Speaker 1>It's been a few years since we had that match

<v Speaker 1>at Elimination Chamber between Roman and Sami. And so the

<v Speaker 1>way things stand right now, we're going to be getting

<v Speaker 1>it at Crown Jewel. Where Crown Jewel will be taking place...

<v Speaker 1>It still says Riyadh. As fucking stupid as that may be,

<v Speaker 1>Crown Jewel will happen regardless. Hopefully not in Riyadh, though.

<v Speaker 1>But this is your Monday Night Raw review. It is,

<v Speaker 1>I guess, officially Tuesday now, but we'll call it Monday,

<v Speaker 1>October 12, 2026. I am the Solid Monster. Thank you

<v Speaker 1>guys for sticking around, those of you who did stick around. Again,

<v Speaker 1>I apologize for making you wait, but Oh, man, when

<v Speaker 1>you when you double click and the program doesn't open,

<v Speaker 1>it's kind of hard to go live. So we kind

<v Speaker 1>of got it figured out. And I'm glad that you

<v Speaker 1>guys are still with me. Subscribe if you're new here

<v Speaker 1>or even if you're just lurking. Go ahead and make

<v Speaker 1>it official and make sure that you hit that notification

<v Speaker 1>bell as well. Super chats are open. There is a

<v Speaker 1>brand new one, but again, you're not going to see

<v Speaker 1>it pop up on the screen. So just FYI. But

<v Speaker 1>if you do want to send in those questions, I'll

<v Speaker 1>be able to still see them and go through the

<v Speaker 1>ones that already came in. If you have any questions, comments,

<v Speaker 1>go ahead and do that. Thank you to the 40,000

<v Speaker 1>plus that checked out my Money in the Bank review

<v Speaker 1>this past weekend. And thank you for making the sound

<v Speaker 1>off number one this morning on Apple Podcasts for all

<v Speaker 1>wrestling shows in the U.S. for episode 984. That dropped yesterday,

<v Speaker 1>so I thank you. So let's get right into the

<v Speaker 1>show here. We'll start from the very top. And actually,

<v Speaker 1>something that if you watch Money in the Bank, you

<v Speaker 1>noticed or you heard, Byron Saxton's voice. And he was

<v Speaker 1>the one who was handling the ring announce duties. Reason

<v Speaker 1>being that Alicia Taylor was sick. I think she was there,

<v Speaker 1>but maybe her voice wasn't great. So he stepped in

<v Speaker 1>at the last minute, right? He pinch hit. Because Byron

<v Speaker 1>does everything. Byron does backstage interviews. Byron can do ring announcing.

<v Speaker 1>If they wanted to put a referee shirt on him,

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he would referee. Tonight they had Lillian Garcia

<v Speaker 1>in that spot. She was handling the ring announcing. And

<v Speaker 1>she introduced the winner of the men's Money in the

<v Speaker 1>Bank match. Mr. Money in the Bank himself, Penta, was

<v Speaker 1>out to open the show with his Dinero and El Banco.

<v Speaker 1>Customized in black with his logo on it. So he's

<v Speaker 1>already got his custom briefcase, and it's got pyro shooting

<v Speaker 1>out of the sides of it. When he got in

<v Speaker 1>the ring, he had fucking fireworks coming out the side

<v Speaker 1>of this briefcase. I've never seen that before, so that

<v Speaker 1>was pretty cool. He thanked the fans. He thanked all

<v Speaker 1>of his opponents at Money in the Bank. He said

<v Speaker 1>he fought for 20 years. He's earned every opportunity that

<v Speaker 1>he's ever been given. Nobody knows when he is going

<v Speaker 1>to cash in, but when he does, he will become

<v Speaker 1>world champion. And my only hope is that he cashes

<v Speaker 1>in on one of their world titles. I've had people say, oh,

<v Speaker 1>he's going to cash in for the AAA mega title. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>that would fucking blow. Let's hope that doesn't happen. This

<v Speaker 1>briefcase is not going to be wasted on AAA. You

<v Speaker 1>got two titles. Pick one. We don't need it to

<v Speaker 1>be on the AAA. Where would people come up with

<v Speaker 1>this nonsense? Where do people come up with this? He's

<v Speaker 1>going to cash in on the biggest baby face in AAA.

<v Speaker 1>That doesn't even make any sense. So out comes the

<v Speaker 1>bouncy boy. Javon Evans, who is not doing much bouncing

<v Speaker 1>tonight after falling through the ambulance at Money in the Bank.

<v Speaker 1>He's got his arm in a sling. He lifted his

<v Speaker 1>shirt to show that his ribs were all taped up.

<v Speaker 1>And he said he was hurting, but he wasn't going

<v Speaker 1>to miss Raw. He wanted to tell Penta that he

<v Speaker 1>deserved the briefcase and he's proud of him. You know

<v Speaker 1>who's not proud of him? Bron Breaker, who all of

<v Speaker 1>a sudden appeared out of nowhere. He was in the

<v Speaker 1>ring behind them as they were embracing. And Javon saw this,

<v Speaker 1>so he shoved Penta out of the way. He took

<v Speaker 1>the bullet. He ate the spear. He really, he speared him.

<v Speaker 1>He hit the arm, actually, the arm that was in

<v Speaker 1>a sling. Penta tended to Evans. Officials rushed out. Bron

<v Speaker 1>Breaker left. And that was the last that we saw

<v Speaker 1>or heard from Bron Breaker here on this show. And look,

<v Speaker 1>there were a lot of guys in that Money in

<v Speaker 1>the Bank match who I'm sure were very banged up

<v Speaker 1>when they woke up this morning. So if some people

<v Speaker 1>got the night off, I have no issue with that whatsoever.

<v Speaker 1>Javon Evans was selling the storyline injury, obviously. He was

<v Speaker 1>not going to wrestle. That wouldn't have made any sense.

<v Speaker 1>But Braun Breaker, you know, again, if they wanted him

<v Speaker 1>in a match and maybe he was a little banged up,

<v Speaker 1>whatever the case may be, I'm not saying that's what happened,

<v Speaker 1>but we got to remember like that women's money in

<v Speaker 1>the bank match. You know, we had Lola Weiss was

<v Speaker 1>in there. Sol Ruka was in there. Both from Monday

<v Speaker 1>Night Raw. Neither woman on the show tonight. Lola Weiss

<v Speaker 1>took a rough bump there towards the end. She's lucky

<v Speaker 1>she didn't break her fucking neck. It looked like she

<v Speaker 1>hit every rung of the ladder on the way down

<v Speaker 1>on that scary bump late in the match. So, some

<v Speaker 1>of these people deserve the night off. But we had

<v Speaker 1>Rey Mysterio and we had Big Cass. And before I

<v Speaker 1>even move on to that, just one more thing on Penta.

<v Speaker 1>I don't believe that Penta is going to be cashing

<v Speaker 1>in anytime soon. Because there's some... We were talking about

<v Speaker 1>this at the end of the review on Saturday. When

<v Speaker 1>do you think he's going to cash in? I don't

<v Speaker 1>think he's cashing in this year. I think he's going

<v Speaker 1>to hold onto it for a while. Maybe they want

<v Speaker 1>to sell, you know, maybe wouldn't shock me if they

<v Speaker 1>made briefcases that they could sell on WWE shop. Uh,

<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure they did the same thing with Tiffany's

<v Speaker 1>briefcase when she wanted a couple of years ago. So

<v Speaker 1>I don't foresee them, uh, having him cash in anytime soon.

<v Speaker 1>Plus I just don't think the timing is right. I,

<v Speaker 1>I don't want to see him cash in and fail.

<v Speaker 1>So if he's going to cash in and win, uh,

<v Speaker 1>then now is not the right time to do it

<v Speaker 1>anyway because I just don't see where it would even

<v Speaker 1>make sense. So he's going to hold on to it

<v Speaker 1>for a while. I don't know how long, so I

<v Speaker 1>can't say who I think he'll cash in on and

<v Speaker 1>whether or not he's going to win or not. It's WWE,

<v Speaker 1>so who the hell knows? All I'm going to tell

<v Speaker 1>you is what I said on Saturday. If they were

<v Speaker 1>going to run it back again between Roman and Penta,

<v Speaker 1>I don't want to see them run it back again

<v Speaker 1>if Roman is just going to go in there and

<v Speaker 1>beat him for a second time. I don't see the

<v Speaker 1>point in that. Either he wins, which realistically he's not

<v Speaker 1>going to, or he cashes in on SmackDown. And I

<v Speaker 1>think it's far more likely that when he cashes in,

<v Speaker 1>it probably is for the WWE Championship, but not anytime soon.

<v Speaker 1>So Rey Mysterio against Big Cass. They love putting Rey

<v Speaker 1>in these situations, this fucking guy. He was just on

<v Speaker 1>the TripleMania show, night one of TripleMania last month. They

<v Speaker 1>put this guy in the ring, okay? at TripleMania against

<v Speaker 1>Omos to do the David and Goliath visual, right, between

<v Speaker 1>the two of them. And so now they put him

<v Speaker 1>in the ring with Big Cass. So this guy can't

<v Speaker 1>really catch a break. Ray hit Cass with a 619

<v Speaker 1>to the back of the head while Cass was standing

<v Speaker 1>on the floor outside. Ray then dove through the ropes

<v Speaker 1>he went for a Tornado DDT. At first, Cass kind

<v Speaker 1>of blocked it, but then Ray hit one anyway. So

<v Speaker 1>Cass tried to get back in the ring. Ray hit

<v Speaker 1>a 619 to his ankle. Then he went for a

<v Speaker 1>third one, but he ran into a back elbow. So

<v Speaker 1>now they're in the ring, and Cass is putting a

<v Speaker 1>beating on this guy in the corner. To the point

<v Speaker 1>where Jessica Carr had to pull him out of the corner.

<v Speaker 1>This brought out Dragon Lee. So he's on the apron.

<v Speaker 1>Cass goes to deliver a big boot, and I guess

<v Speaker 1>the idea was that he was going to miss. He

<v Speaker 1>really didn't miss. I mean, he kind of clipped him

<v Speaker 1>with it. But they, you know, they said Lee avoided it.

<v Speaker 1>And then Cass, you know, he caught him with a kick.

<v Speaker 1>He caught the big guy with a kick. Referee didn't

<v Speaker 1>see any of this. Ray then caught Cass with a

<v Speaker 1>proper 619 and then used a victory roll for the

<v Speaker 1>flash pin to pick up the win. Now, I didn't

<v Speaker 1>make a big deal about him losing to Dragon Lee

<v Speaker 1>on the show last week. A lot of people did.

<v Speaker 1>They were already getting the shovels ready for this guy. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>my God, he lost again. It was the second time.

<v Speaker 1>It was the second time since he came back that

<v Speaker 1>he lost on Raw when he lost to Dragon Lee.

<v Speaker 1>Because remember, the first time was in the qualifying match,

<v Speaker 1>I believe, for Money in the Bank that Javon won.

<v Speaker 1>So this is now the third time that he has

<v Speaker 1>lost here on this show. I didn't make a big

<v Speaker 1>deal about it when he lost to Dragon Lee. Now

<v Speaker 1>I'm not really sure what to make of what the

<v Speaker 1>endgame is here. And I look at this and I say,

<v Speaker 1>at least if they were going to build him up

<v Speaker 1>for a little bit, to feed him to Oba Femi,

<v Speaker 1>to give Oba a big guy to get in the

<v Speaker 1>ring with, at least then it would serve a purpose, right?

<v Speaker 1>It would be very clear that they're not interested in

<v Speaker 1>pushing Cass. It would just be to enhance Oba. But

<v Speaker 1>that I can understand. Let's get Oba in the ring

<v Speaker 1>with somebody that he could actually go eye-to-eye with. Or

<v Speaker 1>like when he was in the ring with Omos at

<v Speaker 1>the end of that AAA WWE Worlds Collide show. I

<v Speaker 1>said face to chest. Get him in there with somebody

<v Speaker 1>that's more his size. And let him slay a big guy.

<v Speaker 1>On his march to where he is very clearly heading

<v Speaker 1>into WrestleMania season. At least that I would understand. What

<v Speaker 1>does 50-year-old Rey Mysterio gain from getting kind of a

<v Speaker 1>fluky win over Big Cass? Like, I would like to

<v Speaker 1>think that this is actually, story-wise, this is leading to

<v Speaker 1>some sort of meaningful payoff. But, you know, when you

<v Speaker 1>assume things like that, a lot of times you get burned.

<v Speaker 1>But I'm like, alright, so Rey Mysterio beat him. Dragon Lee,

<v Speaker 1>I can understand, because Dragon Lee, you know, he's the

<v Speaker 1>younger guy who's actually getting more over each time people

<v Speaker 1>see him, and it makes sense to want to elevate him.

<v Speaker 1>But then I saw this and I'm like, I don't

<v Speaker 1>get this. And he needed Dragon Lee to help him too.

<v Speaker 1>So the babyfaces cheated to win. What did Cass do? Right?

<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's supposed to be the heel in this scenario.

<v Speaker 1>All he did was like beat the hell out of

<v Speaker 1>Ray in the corner and the referee actually pulled him

<v Speaker 1>out of the corner. He wasn't doing anything wrong. But

<v Speaker 1>then Dragon Lee came out and interfered in the match

<v Speaker 1>and they basically double teamed this guy. It was a

<v Speaker 1>handicap situation. And then together they beat Big Cass. And

<v Speaker 1>I guess we're supposed to cheer for this. I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>After Money in the Bank, there were some people who

<v Speaker 1>were trying to start a Justice for Roxy thing. Because

<v Speaker 1>Roxanne Perez didn't win the Women's Money in the Bank match.

<v Speaker 1>Justice for Big Cass is more like it. This guy's

<v Speaker 1>getting screwed over here. So after a recap of the

<v Speaker 1>Bloodline 946 feud... We got another 9-4-6 phone promo where

<v Speaker 1>Jada Parker reminded us that ain't nobody safe. Adam Pearce

<v Speaker 1>was in his office. He summoned referee Chad Patton. And

<v Speaker 1>he wanted to let him know that you're going to

<v Speaker 1>be officiating the main event tonight between the Bloodline and 9-4-6.

<v Speaker 1>And Chad thought that this was some sort of punishment.

<v Speaker 1>Am I being punished? And Pierce said, no, look, I

<v Speaker 1>just want you to keep as much order as you can,

<v Speaker 1>get the pin or get the submission and get the

<v Speaker 1>hell out of there in one piece. You know, if

<v Speaker 1>he's so worried about keeping order, why doesn't he assign

<v Speaker 1>a second referee to the match to be on the outside?

<v Speaker 1>Why am I doing his job better than him? You're

<v Speaker 1>so worried about it. You got six guys out there, right?

<v Speaker 1>Not even counting Jada Parker. You put poor Chad Patton

<v Speaker 1>in the middle of it. Why not put somebody else

<v Speaker 1>outside the ring like you have an enforcer referee out there?

<v Speaker 1>If you were so worried. After this, we had Liv Morgan.

<v Speaker 1>Once again, the Women's World Champion. Out to the ring

<v Speaker 1>with the rest of the Judgment Day. Dominic Mysterio, JD McDonough,

<v Speaker 1>Raquel Rodriguez. And the loser in the Women's Money in

<v Speaker 1>the Bank match, Roxanne Perez. If you've seen one Liv

<v Speaker 1>Morgan promo as champion, you've seen them all. Her goal

<v Speaker 1>each time is to say the part where she calls

<v Speaker 1>herself the greatest of all time and hold it as

<v Speaker 1>long as she possibly can. This might have been the

<v Speaker 1>longest one yet. I have to mute the feed when

<v Speaker 1>she does this. So she says some stuff. And then

<v Speaker 1>we had the WWE Women's Champion, Chelsea Green, make her

<v Speaker 1>way out to the ring. All the way from SmackDown.

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea was there. She said, look, I'm not here to

<v Speaker 1>spoil your celebration. I'm excited to face you at Crown Jewel.

<v Speaker 1>And she went to go shake her hand. Liv refused.

<v Speaker 1>She didn't want to shake her stupid hand because hand

<v Speaker 1>are for equals. She called Chelsea a placeholder champion, said

<v Speaker 1>the only threatening thing about her was her friend Tiffany Stratton.

<v Speaker 1>Tiffany was the real threat, and Tiffany's out injured right now,

<v Speaker 1>which may be a shoot after what happened on Saturday.

<v Speaker 1>She may be out for a little bit. She may

<v Speaker 1>well be legit in concussion protocol. Even if she's not

<v Speaker 1>actually concussed, I would imagine that they're going to err

<v Speaker 1>on the side of caution and keep her out for

<v Speaker 1>at least this week, maybe, just to be on the

<v Speaker 1>safe side. Tiffany admitted, you know, when the show was over,

<v Speaker 1>she said her head was still hurting. I don't doubt that.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think that was her just trying to sound

<v Speaker 1>tough and trying to sell the match. I mean, the

<v Speaker 1>sickening noise that her head made against the ground, I think,

<v Speaker 1>told the story on Saturday. So yeah, probably better to

<v Speaker 1>keep her out for a little bit. Chelsea said, look,

<v Speaker 1>I don't mind being underestimated by you because it's happened

<v Speaker 1>to me my entire career. She said that she would

<v Speaker 1>make Liv respect her. She said that she couldn't be

<v Speaker 1>called a placeholder champion by Dominic Mysterio's placeholder girlfriend. So

<v Speaker 1>this is when Roxanne stepped forward and she said that

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea can't beat Liv, she can't beat Raquel, and you

<v Speaker 1>definitely can't beat me. And Chelsea asked, hey, you want

<v Speaker 1>to try? So they went face-to-face, and we got a

<v Speaker 1>referee out there. I, for one, am shocked that Roxanne Perez,

<v Speaker 1>the only member of the Judgment Day, at least the

<v Speaker 1>Judgment Day women, who appeared to be dressed for a match,

<v Speaker 1>the only one who was actually dressed for combat is

<v Speaker 1>the one who happened to step forward and say, hey,

<v Speaker 1>I'll take you on. And so we got an impromptu match, non-title, obviously,

<v Speaker 1>between Chelsea Green and Roxanne Perez. And they were having

<v Speaker 1>a perfectly average match when Liv reached in and tripped

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea up from the outside. So Chelsea went to go

<v Speaker 1>grab her by the hair. Roxanne then hit her from

<v Speaker 1>behind with a forearm. So Chelsea, she throws Roxanne into Raquel,

<v Speaker 1>who had gotten up on the apron on the other side.

<v Speaker 1>And that knocked Raquel off the apron. Roxanne ended up

<v Speaker 1>outside as well. Chelsea hit a suicide dive onto both women.

<v Speaker 1>And then Liv came charging over towards Chelsea. She sidestepped her,

<v Speaker 1>threw Liv over the announce desk. She jumped back in

<v Speaker 1>the ring. Roxanne, though, hit her with pop rocks and

<v Speaker 1>then pinned the WWE Women's Champion. And you know what?

<v Speaker 1>When we look back on this episode of Monday Night Raw,

<v Speaker 1>people are going to be talking about what a surprise

<v Speaker 1>it was to see Carmelo Hayes out there as the

<v Speaker 1>newest member of 946. That was only the second most

<v Speaker 1>surprising thing on this show. The first, number one, most

<v Speaker 1>surprising thing on this show is that Roxanne Perez won

<v Speaker 1>a match. That was surprise number one. She doesn't win

<v Speaker 1>very many matches. If you watch the television show and

<v Speaker 1>you pay attention to what's going on, that was only

<v Speaker 1>her second win on Raw all year. We are in October.

<v Speaker 1>And it just so happened to come against the WWE

<v Speaker 1>Women's Champion. Now, that wouldn't happen if anybody else was

<v Speaker 1>the champion. if Rhea Ripley was still the champion, if

<v Speaker 1>Charlotte Flair was the champion, if basically anybody else had

<v Speaker 1>that title right now on SmackDown, Roxanne Perez would not

<v Speaker 1>have beaten them. But she got the win here over

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea Green. When the match was over, Chelsea was still

<v Speaker 1>sitting on the ground. Liv is looking down at her,

<v Speaker 1>talking all kinds of shit. And then Chelsea reached up

<v Speaker 1>and slapped her across the face. So... They ended up

<v Speaker 1>beating on Chelsea and then Liv put her down with Oblivion.

<v Speaker 1>I hate this champion versus champion garbage every year with

<v Speaker 1>this crown jewel crap. I fucking hate this. Some people

<v Speaker 1>may like it. They may think, hey, you know, it's

<v Speaker 1>an attraction. Champion against champion and we get some potentially

<v Speaker 1>interesting matches. Potentially. It could happen that we end up with,

<v Speaker 1>you know, one year. Hey, that's kind of an interesting match.

<v Speaker 1>But I don't see any. On the horizon here, Roman

<v Speaker 1>and Sammy, been there, done that. Right? Live in Chelsea? Eh?

<v Speaker 1>It just is such a waste of time. But it's

<v Speaker 1>Crown Jewel season. So I guess we're doing the Crown

<v Speaker 1>Jewel crap again. We go backstage. The Usos are talking

<v Speaker 1>to each other. When Solo Sakoa walks in, he's taping

<v Speaker 1>up his fists. He's getting ready for combat in the

<v Speaker 1>main event. Jey Uso reminds him that they're the captains.

<v Speaker 1>And he's spewing more nonsense about running the play. Solo

<v Speaker 1>told him, you're not my captains. And he said, Roman

<v Speaker 1>is not my tribal chief. Says, matter of fact, you

<v Speaker 1>need to follow my lead tonight. And then Jimmy had

<v Speaker 1>to play the voice of reason. If you've seen one

<v Speaker 1>of these Bloodline segments, you've seen them all. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>you could just basically in your head, you map them out, right?

<v Speaker 1>The Usos are going to be talking to each other.

<v Speaker 1>or arguing with each other, you know, ooh, ooh, sorry,

<v Speaker 1>they're going to be doing that. And then there's going

<v Speaker 1>to be, someone's going to say, run the play. There'll

<v Speaker 1>be some sort of play that has to be run. Right.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's like you could kind of just map

<v Speaker 1>out all the dialogue in your head and there's never

<v Speaker 1>any sort of resolution to it. They all kind of

<v Speaker 1>end the same way. That's what we got here. Then

<v Speaker 1>we had Obafemi, who was victorious at Money in the

<v Speaker 1>Bank over the weekend and Against Bronson Reed, who was

<v Speaker 1>not on the show tonight, by the way. No Bronson Reed.

<v Speaker 1>He may be another one who's probably selling the effects,

<v Speaker 1>I guess, of this war, this battle that he had

<v Speaker 1>with Obafemi. Oba looks good, though. He doesn't look any

<v Speaker 1>worse for wear. He struts his way down to the ring.

<v Speaker 1>And he was in a very good mood. After having

<v Speaker 1>disposed of Bronson Reed, he sent him money in the bank.

<v Speaker 1>He was told that it would be tsunami after tsunami

<v Speaker 1>after tsunami. But when he got to Louisiana, it was

<v Speaker 1>nothing but blue skies and calm waters. They don't get

<v Speaker 1>tsunamis in Louisiana. St. Bronson learned his lesson at Money

<v Speaker 1>in the Bank, that it doesn't matter who you are,

<v Speaker 1>who you've wrestled, or how many cousins you have. A

<v Speaker 1>little breadcrumb right there. They will all bend the knee.

<v Speaker 1>Because Oba is on his way to fulfilling his destiny,

<v Speaker 1>and at that point he got cut off. I should

<v Speaker 1>point out, this is the second time now, if you

<v Speaker 1>go back to the post show on Saturday after Money

<v Speaker 1>in the Bank, for the second time this year, because

<v Speaker 1>I think it happened after King of the Ring, Obafemi

<v Speaker 1>called out Roman Reigns. Second time now he's called out

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns. There's never any response to it, but it's

<v Speaker 1>all part of this sort of long-term vision that they

<v Speaker 1>have as they build towards Saudi next year for WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>He's going to call out Roman Reigns. He's going to

<v Speaker 1>call him out again. And then eventually they'll kind of

<v Speaker 1>call back to it and say, hey, you've been calling

<v Speaker 1>my name now for a few months, and eventually we'll

<v Speaker 1>get the confrontation between them. But it's just so silly

<v Speaker 1>to me how you put this man in the King

<v Speaker 1>of the Ring tournament. And the reason they had him

<v Speaker 1>win King of the Ring is precisely for the reason

<v Speaker 1>that you would think. And like even tonight, Lillian announced

<v Speaker 1>him as, you know, the King of the Ring, and

<v Speaker 1>they have it on his tron when he comes out.

<v Speaker 1>They wanted him to be called King. He's the ruler, right?

<v Speaker 1>So now he gets the tag of King of the Ring.

<v Speaker 1>But because they introduced the stipulation last year that the

<v Speaker 1>winner of the King of the Ring gets a guaranteed

<v Speaker 1>championship match at SummerSlam, the idea that he would forego

<v Speaker 1>that title match, and he's not entirely wrong, if you

<v Speaker 1>remember what he told Adam Pearce that time, which is

<v Speaker 1>that I can get a title match anytime. True. But

<v Speaker 1>you had this guaranteed championship match that you junked. And

<v Speaker 1>there's been a lot of debate and questions about whether

<v Speaker 1>or not he actually did get rid of it. or

<v Speaker 1>if he still has it in his back pocket, it's

<v Speaker 1>very clear he doesn't. And he'll just end up winning

<v Speaker 1>the Rumble, or winning the Chamber, and that's how he

<v Speaker 1>gets to Roman Reigns. So they call him King, but

<v Speaker 1>the title shot that came with it, he just, you know, goodbye.

<v Speaker 1>Matters not to me, but he keeps talking about his destiny.

<v Speaker 1>And he keeps calling out Roman Reigns, which he wouldn't

<v Speaker 1>have to do if he didn't sacrifice that title shot

<v Speaker 1>in the storyline. So he calls out Roman and he

<v Speaker 1>never gets any response. But he's interrupted here by Paul Heyman,

<v Speaker 1>who's been watching a lot of television ever since Brock

<v Speaker 1>Lesnar retired at SummerSlam. That's all he does. When we

<v Speaker 1>see him on these shows, he's standing around watching TV.

<v Speaker 1>Tonight he actually did something. He came out in the

<v Speaker 1>middle of this promo and he did this thing again

<v Speaker 1>where he was talking about tsunami after tsunami. It was

<v Speaker 1>to the point where, like in the Liv Morgan thing

<v Speaker 1>where I had a mute, The TV. It's just so

<v Speaker 1>over the top and just so ridiculous. But he noted

<v Speaker 1>that no man ever kicked out of the tsunami until

<v Speaker 1>Oba Femi came along. He got into the ring. He

<v Speaker 1>called Oba the future of WWE. I mean, we hear

<v Speaker 1>the same shit every week. Heyman said that Femi was

<v Speaker 1>better at Money in the Bank than he was at

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania against Brock Lesnar. And he was getting ready to

<v Speaker 1>pitch Oba as the next Paul Heyman guy. Oba grabbed

<v Speaker 1>Heyman's microphone, threw it out of the ring. He said,

<v Speaker 1>I'm not Brock Lesnar, and I'm definitely not Roman Reigns.

<v Speaker 1>He said, those are Paul Heyman guys. I am an

<v Speaker 1>Oba Femi guy. And he left. And the way he

<v Speaker 1>said it was great, his delivery in these promos is

<v Speaker 1>actually very good. I mentioned that in that promo, that

<v Speaker 1>last promo he cut on Bronson Reed before Money in

<v Speaker 1>the Bank, that really intense one. God, what was the

<v Speaker 1>closing line of that promo? Something will belong to Heyman

<v Speaker 1>or whatever, but your ass belongs to me. They've given

<v Speaker 1>him some really good lines, and he delivers it really well.

<v Speaker 1>So he's very good on promos. But there wasn't much

<v Speaker 1>to it beyond that, and he left, and Heyman was

<v Speaker 1>left standing in the middle of the ring looking shell-shocked.

<v Speaker 1>And so begins the Heyman arc, I guess, of plotting

<v Speaker 1>against Obafemi. Has to be where this is going, no?

<v Speaker 1>Now imagine in the end, this would be a very

<v Speaker 1>WWE way of doing things, but imagine in the end,

<v Speaker 1>as part of this arc for Heyman, we get to WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>we get Roman and Oba, and he ends up realigning

<v Speaker 1>with Roman as a way to get back at Oba,

<v Speaker 1>and Roman beats Oba. at WrestleMania with the idea that

<v Speaker 1>we want him to face some more adversity before we, uh,

<v Speaker 1>we anoint this man. So we're going to wait another year.

<v Speaker 1>We're going to make him jump through hoops and crawl

<v Speaker 1>through a river of shit and overcome all the odds.

<v Speaker 1>And then we'll crown him in 2028. That would, that

<v Speaker 1>would be something I could totally see them doing. They're

<v Speaker 1>going to pull the Cody story all over again with Oba.

<v Speaker 1>We go to the back. And we see Eoskai, who

<v Speaker 1>we have not seen a whole lot of, of late,

<v Speaker 1>but she's talking to Adam Pierce and she's looking for

<v Speaker 1>her next challenger. Lyra Valkyrie, a greasy Lyra shows up

<v Speaker 1>here and she wants to know what Pierce is going

<v Speaker 1>to do about Bailey. This woman is just tormenting her

<v Speaker 1>and stalking her and following her everywhere she goes. And

<v Speaker 1>then we, all of a sudden we see Bailey is

<v Speaker 1>watching in the background. She points her out. There she

<v Speaker 1>is again. And so she's, she's, freaking out she's ruining

<v Speaker 1>my life she says and lyra leaves roxanne perez and

<v Speaker 1>raquel rodriguez walk in and she says i beat the

<v Speaker 1>wwe women's champion tonight adam in case you didn't see

<v Speaker 1>i want a shot at her title and pierce says

<v Speaker 1>well that sounds like you ought to go to smackdown

<v Speaker 1>and take that up with nick aldis So Roxanne says

<v Speaker 1>she forgot that EO even existed. Raquel said that she

<v Speaker 1>remembers a time when EO actually meant something. And EO

<v Speaker 1>didn't like that very much, and then she looked at

<v Speaker 1>Adam and smiled and said, I think I found my

<v Speaker 1>next challenge. She stormed off. So I guess we're going

<v Speaker 1>back to EO and Raquel. We're going back to that

<v Speaker 1>well again. Remember when they feuded earlier this year? Yeah, well,

<v Speaker 1>get ready for part two. Elsewhere, Jackie Redmond... is standing

<v Speaker 1>by with a depressed LA Knight. This poor bastard. Every

<v Speaker 1>time we've seen him over the last several weeks, he's

<v Speaker 1>always full of energy. Let me talk to you, right?

<v Speaker 1>He's got a big smile on his face. He's palling

<v Speaker 1>around with Solo Sokoa before he got abducted. And now

<v Speaker 1>he just looks like a sad sack. And she's trying

<v Speaker 1>to talk him up and gas him up. What a

<v Speaker 1>great performance you had in there. What a match. What

<v Speaker 1>a great match you had with Roman Reigns. A great

<v Speaker 1>effort at Money in the Bank. And he said, I

<v Speaker 1>don't want any flowers. Of course not. He failed. What's

<v Speaker 1>there to celebrate? Solo Sokoa walks in. Tries to cheer

<v Speaker 1>him up. Tells him, you put up a hell of

<v Speaker 1>a fight against the tribal chief. You should be proud.

<v Speaker 1>So Knight notes the bloodline. Really? Like, Solo's teaming with

<v Speaker 1>the bloodline tonight. We're back to this again. And Solo

<v Speaker 1>tries to explain to him. He says, no, no, I'm

<v Speaker 1>not back with them. Knight says, no, it's all right.

<v Speaker 1>No explanation needed. Doesn't seem like he's all right with it.

<v Speaker 1>Solo says, are we good? And L.A. says, he stares

<v Speaker 1>at him for a little bit. And he tells him, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>we're good. Now, he said this with about as much

<v Speaker 1>sincerity as a guy who tells his wife, Yeah, I

<v Speaker 1>was just out at the gym when realistically he was

<v Speaker 1>next door bumping uglies with the neighbor. Not good for

<v Speaker 1>the future of this friendship between these two. I think

<v Speaker 1>an LA Knight heel turn is inevitable at this point.

<v Speaker 1>I think it would have been a lot more enjoyable

<v Speaker 1>if he was turning heel, let's say, and was in

<v Speaker 1>a position to be a heel champion for a little bit.

<v Speaker 1>If they would have pulled off that big swerve instead

<v Speaker 1>of just beating him into a state now where he

<v Speaker 1>looks like Baron Corbin when he was down on his luck.

<v Speaker 1>This might actually be the gimmick that they give to L.A.

<v Speaker 1>Knight now. L.A. Knight may assume the mantle of bum-ass Corbin.

<v Speaker 1>Start walking around in these ratty white shirts and sitting around.

<v Speaker 1>Fucking brown bag. Fucking bottle in the bag. Look, it

<v Speaker 1>was entertaining when Corbin did it, but I mean... You know,

<v Speaker 1>I feel bad for this guy. Everyone's trying to cheer

<v Speaker 1>him up. Solo, Jackie. Oh, what a great match. What

<v Speaker 1>a great showing you had. You came so close. I'm like,

<v Speaker 1>you condescending pricks. I fucking lost. There's nothing to celebrate.

<v Speaker 1>And then we had the match that I was looking

<v Speaker 1>forward to. ever since it was announced last week. So

<v Speaker 1>up until this point in the show, this wasn't much

<v Speaker 1>of a show. This is a very boring, nothing throwaway show.

<v Speaker 1>Then we got to the Intercontinental Championship. Chad Gable defending

<v Speaker 1>his title against the AAA Cruiserweight Champion, Ray Phoenix. Phoenix

<v Speaker 1>went for his rolling cutter early, and Gable just caught

<v Speaker 1>him out of midair and turned it into an angle

<v Speaker 1>slam for a near fall. So they took the fight

<v Speaker 1>out to the floor. Phoenix caught him with a PK

<v Speaker 1>from the apron. Then he hit him with a dropkick

<v Speaker 1>off the apron, and that sent Gable just ricocheting backwards

<v Speaker 1>into the timekeeper's barricade. So then Phoenix charged at Gable,

<v Speaker 1>who tossed him over his head with a release suplex

<v Speaker 1>into the timekeeper's barricade. Gable tossed Phoenix back inside. Gable

<v Speaker 1>followed in. Phoenix caught him with a rolling cutter for

<v Speaker 1>a near fall. So later in the match, Gable went

<v Speaker 1>to the top. Phoenix, he sprang up to the top rope.

<v Speaker 1>He brought Gable down with an avalanche hurricanrana. And Phoenix

<v Speaker 1>followed that up with a moonsault and only got a

<v Speaker 1>near fall out of it. Phoenix ran the ropes. He

<v Speaker 1>hit Gable right in the face with the goodbye amigo kick.

<v Speaker 1>Followed that up with a frog splash. Only a near

<v Speaker 1>fall again. So now Phoenix set him up for the

<v Speaker 1>Mexican Muscle Buster, and he got him up for it. Gable, though,

<v Speaker 1>slipped out. He sent Phoenix into the ropes. Phoenix tried

<v Speaker 1>for a hook kick. Gable, though, picked the ankle, and

<v Speaker 1>he got the ankle lock applied. And Phoenix, he countered

<v Speaker 1>that into an ankle lock. Gable reversed back into one

<v Speaker 1>of his own. Phoenix tried to roll on his back

<v Speaker 1>and was trying to kick away. Gable, though, countered with

<v Speaker 1>the body scissors. And this was good because at this

<v Speaker 1>point I said, okay, this is the beginning of the

<v Speaker 1>end here. But then Phoenix almost immediately grabbed the ropes.

<v Speaker 1>So the match continues. He's got to break the hold.

<v Speaker 1>Gable then delivered a German suplex and sent Phoenix backwards

<v Speaker 1>into the buckles. And he took this bump. I'm sure

<v Speaker 1>it was safe enough. But it looked great in that

<v Speaker 1>it looked brutal. So he just slams into the buckles

<v Speaker 1>and collapses to the mat. Gable climbs to the top.

<v Speaker 1>And Phoenix ends up crotching him. He tried for the

<v Speaker 1>Mexican Muscle Buster again. Gable, though, rolled out into another

<v Speaker 1>ankle lock, and this time he got the legs wrapped

<v Speaker 1>around the body in the center of the ring, and

<v Speaker 1>there was a little bit of a struggle here. Phoenix

<v Speaker 1>was kind of teasing that he was going to maybe

<v Speaker 1>reach the ropes. It looked like he was close enough

<v Speaker 1>where he probably could have, but he was selling like, oh,

<v Speaker 1>so close yet so far, and then finally he taps out,

<v Speaker 1>and Chad Gable retains. They gave these two nearly 20 minutes.

<v Speaker 1>And for 20 minutes, this was just wrestling bliss on

<v Speaker 1>a Monday night. They had an excellent fucking match. Surprise, surprise.

<v Speaker 1>I know. I'm as stunned as you are. That Chad

<v Speaker 1>Gable and Ray Phoenix had a great wrestling match. There

<v Speaker 1>was one point where Phoenix, I think he was kicking,

<v Speaker 1>trying to kick himself free out of the ankle lock.

<v Speaker 1>And he was kicking this fucking guy in the face.

<v Speaker 1>He kicked him like three or four times in the face.

<v Speaker 1>And I was like, okay, there's no way that he's

<v Speaker 1>not coming up. without blood on his nose or his

<v Speaker 1>cheek or something. And then sure enough, Cable came up,

<v Speaker 1>he had blood on the bridge of his nose. I

<v Speaker 1>don't think he broke his nose, but yeah, Phoenix was,

<v Speaker 1>he was kicking his way free. He was, he was

<v Speaker 1>making it look good. He was making it look as

<v Speaker 1>real as you possibly could. But this was great. Again,

<v Speaker 1>this is one of the best TV matches that you'll

<v Speaker 1>find all year on, on Monday night. And as a

<v Speaker 1>wrestling match, I think it was better than anything we

<v Speaker 1>saw on Saturday. And I love the opening match. with

<v Speaker 1>Roman and LA Knight, but just bell to bell in

<v Speaker 1>terms of the actual action we got, minus all the

<v Speaker 1>finisher spam, this was the best. This was the best

<v Speaker 1>thing going back to the weekend. So I loved it.

<v Speaker 1>I love these Gable matches that we've been getting as far,

<v Speaker 1>and we don't get them every week, but we've had

<v Speaker 1>a few banger matches with him on TV, and they

<v Speaker 1>get over. You know, the crowd is into it. They're

<v Speaker 1>chanting all kinds of stuff. This is awesome and whatever.

<v Speaker 1>And like, fight forever. Because this is Gable's bread and butter.

<v Speaker 1>He's a great pro. wrestler. His character right now is

<v Speaker 1>very bland compared to maybe some of the heel stuff

<v Speaker 1>he was doing, which also had run its course until

<v Speaker 1>the El Grande Americano stuff came along. Like he was

<v Speaker 1>doing the Alpha Academy stuff and being the bully and

<v Speaker 1>he had been a heel for a few years at

<v Speaker 1>that point. So he was in need of a change.

<v Speaker 1>And the El Grande stuff happening the way it did,

<v Speaker 1>where he got hurt, came back, had the ready-made feud

<v Speaker 1>with Kaiser, everything worked out. Everything worked out the way

<v Speaker 1>it was supposed to. But I will submit to you

<v Speaker 1>that his character right now is pretty bland, it is

<v Speaker 1>pretty boring. I would like to see them come up

<v Speaker 1>with some more story-centric stuff for him. They have the

<v Speaker 1>story stuff with Ethan Page. Ethan Page has been kind

<v Speaker 1>of stalking him almost now for weeks and weeks and

<v Speaker 1>weeks and weeks. Because he wants a shot at the

<v Speaker 1>IC title. Which I think he already had and he lost,

<v Speaker 1>if I'm not mistaken. Maybe I'm misremembering. But it's just

<v Speaker 1>very basic surface level stuff. We need more story and

<v Speaker 1>character work involving Gable. The matches are great, but there's

<v Speaker 1>got to be a little bit more than that. But

<v Speaker 1>this was fantastic. Then we go to Byron Saxton. Back

<v Speaker 1>to announcer duty tonight. No ring announcing for him on

<v Speaker 1>this show. He is outside the trainer's room. Stephanie Viqueur,

<v Speaker 1>he said, is being treated for an ankle injury that

<v Speaker 1>she sustained at Money in the Bank. And then the

<v Speaker 1>door whips open and Stephanie walks out and she's on crutches.

<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh no, she's injured again. She says, it's okay,

<v Speaker 1>I'll be back in a few days. It's nothing serious.

<v Speaker 1>Every time she loses, she says she becomes stronger. So

<v Speaker 1>Becky Lynch walks up and says, you have no one

<v Speaker 1>to blame but yourself. You're the reason that we both lost.

<v Speaker 1>Stephanie said she did her a favor. And Becky said

<v Speaker 1>that she showed her who she really is on Saturday.

<v Speaker 1>Stephanie doesn't respect Becky anymore. Says, I don't need to

<v Speaker 1>be champion to kick your ass. Becky said, well, don't

<v Speaker 1>wait too long. And off she went. This is the

<v Speaker 1>point where they announced and they put the graphic up

<v Speaker 1>for it in Riyadh on November 7th at Crown Jewel.

<v Speaker 1>It will be Roman Reigns against Sami Zayn for the

<v Speaker 1>Crown Jewel Championship. I hope they bring helmets. Next week

<v Speaker 1>on Raw, I know this one's going to come as

<v Speaker 1>a shock. Roman Reigns returns. Another return. And this might

<v Speaker 1>even be a bigger shock. Joe Hendry has been announced

<v Speaker 1>a week in advance for an actual match. on Monday

<v Speaker 1>Night Raw. This could be history in the making here.

<v Speaker 1>This could be the first time he actually gets a real, full,

<v Speaker 1>proper entrance for a match on this television show. And

<v Speaker 1>it will come next week against Funko Head, JD McDonough.

<v Speaker 1>Jackie Redman interviewed Ray Phoenix after his loss to Gable,

<v Speaker 1>and Phoenix said it was an incredible match. He wants

<v Speaker 1>to face Gable again very soon. Ethan Page shows up.

<v Speaker 1>And he says that Phoenix did a good job of

<v Speaker 1>squandering the opportunity that was given to him. Tells Phoenix,

<v Speaker 1>he looks at his Cruiserweight title. He says, stay in

<v Speaker 1>your lane and stay away from my opportunities. And he

<v Speaker 1>went to go walk away. Then he came back. He

<v Speaker 1>attacked Phoenix. He threw him into the equipment cases. Chad

<v Speaker 1>Gable shows up, chases him off, starts yelling for medical.

<v Speaker 1>Then we cut to the parking area. Jada Parker gets

<v Speaker 1>out of not an SUV. She got out of a truck.

<v Speaker 1>I wish I would have paid attention to what kind

<v Speaker 1>of truck. I don't know what kind of truck it was.

<v Speaker 1>But she gets out of the truck, and she walks

<v Speaker 1>along the side of it. She bangs on the side

<v Speaker 1>of it three times. And then the back of the truck,

<v Speaker 1>this door just sort of falls open. Fucking Reza and

<v Speaker 1>Toka here from Secret of the Ooze. And then all

<v Speaker 1>the members of 946 come out the back of the truck.

<v Speaker 1>They are on their way out for the main event

<v Speaker 1>here on this show. you know what, this is good.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe the rental companies are refusing to allow them to

<v Speaker 1>rent after they realize, you know, they're a group of

<v Speaker 1>fucking arsonists here. I wouldn't allow them to rent cars

<v Speaker 1>for me either. Now they have to go to trucks.

<v Speaker 1>But the main event was supposed to be the 946

<v Speaker 1>Royce Keys, Lucian Price, and Bronco Nima taking on Solo, Sokoa,

<v Speaker 1>and the Usos. In 946, they came out through the crowd.

<v Speaker 1>No music. So they have not yet been deaf-rebelled. They

<v Speaker 1>came through the crowd. People are booing them. Royce Keyes,

<v Speaker 1>he steps on top of the announce desk and stands there.

<v Speaker 1>And the other members of OTM get up on the desk,

<v Speaker 1>I believe, too. And they're waiting for the bloodline to

<v Speaker 1>come out. The Usos come through. Solo Sokoa comes out.

<v Speaker 1>Jada's on the apron just talking shit and yelling at them.

<v Speaker 1>And the fans are yeeting. And finally, all six men,

<v Speaker 1>they get in the ring together and we get a

<v Speaker 1>big brawl as we begin the match here. So Keyes,

<v Speaker 1>he dumps Solo over the timekeeper's barricade. When Solo got

<v Speaker 1>back up, he picked up one of the office chairs

<v Speaker 1>and he chucked it at Royce's head, which was great.

<v Speaker 1>Not as great as the time that I believe it

<v Speaker 1>was Braun Strowman did that to Roman Reigns. That was great.

<v Speaker 1>But yeah, he hit him in the head with that

<v Speaker 1>giant chair. Soon everybody now was fighting on the floor.

<v Speaker 1>And then you look up and Jimmy Uso, he climbed

<v Speaker 1>to the top, dove off onto the pile with, of

<v Speaker 1>all things, a fucking corkscrew dive from the top rope

<v Speaker 1>to the floor. Like a corkscrew moonsault, basically. He's like, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>y'all forgot about me. I can do some shit, too.

<v Speaker 1>So once they got the action back inside, they started

<v Speaker 1>to have some semblance of an actual match. Keyes tagged in.

<v Speaker 1>He knocked Solo off the apron. He knocked Jay off

<v Speaker 1>the apron. Crushed Jimmy in the corner with an avalanche

<v Speaker 1>because they were continuing to work him over. OTM were

<v Speaker 1>about to kill Jimmy when Jay came back in to

<v Speaker 1>make the save. And he hits the spear. That takes

<v Speaker 1>down Bronco. So he tags in Royce. Jimmy tags in Solo,

<v Speaker 1>who goes to work. Hits a big Samoan drop. I'm like, man, listen.

<v Speaker 1>Listen to that baby face pop. For Solo. So now

<v Speaker 1>Keyes is down in the corner. Solo hits the running

<v Speaker 1>hip attack. And then a spinning Solo. And Chad Patton counts.

<v Speaker 1>But Jada Parker pulls him out of the ring. Throws

<v Speaker 1>the referee over the barricade into the crowd. You're not

<v Speaker 1>really supposed to do that. You're not supposed to put

<v Speaker 1>your hands on the referee. But you're definitely not supposed

<v Speaker 1>to throw the referee into the crowd. So Solo low

<v Speaker 1>bridges Bronco. but then he gets dragged out by him,

<v Speaker 1>sent into the ring post. But here comes Big Jim

<v Speaker 1>off the steps with a shot. Lucian Price slams Jimmy through,

<v Speaker 1>or not through, but onto the apron. So the Usos now,

<v Speaker 1>they hit stereo superkicks to Price. They dump him into

<v Speaker 1>the crowd. Bronco's over now. He clotheslines both of them

<v Speaker 1>into the crowd. So now they're taking this brawl into

<v Speaker 1>the crowd, and they're going deeper and deeper in. Back

<v Speaker 1>at ringside, Royce Keyes cleans off the announce desk and

<v Speaker 1>he hits Solo with the ring steps, which we heard

<v Speaker 1>Joe Tessitore say that's what happened. We couldn't actually see

<v Speaker 1>it because they just kept the camera on what was

<v Speaker 1>going on in the crowd. They didn't cut back for

<v Speaker 1>nothing to ringside. When they finally did, we saw Solo

<v Speaker 1>laying on the ground, and the steps had been moved

<v Speaker 1>right in front of the announce desk. So Jay now,

<v Speaker 1>we cut back to the crowd. Jay Uso did his

<v Speaker 1>best Darby Allen impression here. And he dove off of

<v Speaker 1>the top of one of the tunnels onto everybody down below.

<v Speaker 1>And so while they're all recovering, they keep the cameras

<v Speaker 1>on this area. It's like, okay, well, what are we

<v Speaker 1>doing here? Jada Parker now is on the top of

<v Speaker 1>this tunnel. And Jada Parker dives off. Whatever Jay can do,

<v Speaker 1>I can do. And then we'll talk about it over

<v Speaker 1>dinner tonight. So she jumps off the top of the

<v Speaker 1>tunnel and she wipes out everybody down below. We go

<v Speaker 1>back to ringside. Royce is standing on the steps again,

<v Speaker 1>which are positioned right in front of the announced desk.

<v Speaker 1>And he's got solo solo though, gets him up on

<v Speaker 1>his shoulders. He delivers a Samoan drop through the announced desk.

<v Speaker 1>So he races to get him back inside. He goes

<v Speaker 1>up top. He hits the Samoan splash. And now he's

<v Speaker 1>brandishing the spike. He's getting ready for the kill shot.

<v Speaker 1>But someone is here. Someone just climbed into the ring.

<v Speaker 1>Someone's face is obscured by the bandana over their face.

<v Speaker 1>But this person hits Solo in the knee with a crowbar.

<v Speaker 1>And the dude's got braids. And again, he's got a

<v Speaker 1>bandana on his face. He pulls it down. Now, I

<v Speaker 1>could tell even before he pulled the bandana down. Once

<v Speaker 1>I really was like looking at this guy for two seconds,

<v Speaker 1>I knew right away who it was. But it was

<v Speaker 1>still a great reveal. He pulls down the bandana, and

<v Speaker 1>it is Carmelo Hayes, who has been MIA from SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>now for a couple of months. He's alive! And he

<v Speaker 1>helps Keyes to his feet, and he drops solo with

<v Speaker 1>a spinebuster. Jimmy is back now. Hayes, though, just pounces

<v Speaker 1>on him. And they're holding him for Hayes to hit

<v Speaker 1>him in the gut with the crowbar. Now they're holding

<v Speaker 1>Jay on his knees. More hits from Hayes with the crowbar. OTM,

<v Speaker 1>they picked Jimmy up, they dropped him with their finish

<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it's called but they laid him

<v Speaker 1>out with it Royce then tells Jay to tell Roman

<v Speaker 1>I presume tell Rome he never said Roman's name but

<v Speaker 1>told Jay to tell him you let him know ain't

<v Speaker 1>nobody safe And Keyes has a chair. He takes a

<v Speaker 1>seat in the center of the ring. He's going to

<v Speaker 1>take a load off here while all of his fellow

<v Speaker 1>members are standing around him. And that is how Raw

<v Speaker 1>went off the air. We never did get an actual

<v Speaker 1>finish to this match, so I guess we'll just call

<v Speaker 1>it a no contest. It was a very well done

<v Speaker 1>closing angle. You know, the match itself, it was just

<v Speaker 1>one big giant brawl. I actually thought like in the

<v Speaker 1>middle of this, it wasn't getting a lot of heat.

<v Speaker 1>It got more heat towards the end there. but I

<v Speaker 1>like what they did with the reveal. It felt to me,

<v Speaker 1>I even put it in the title before, you know,

<v Speaker 1>raw one on the air tonight. When I put the

<v Speaker 1>page up, I said, you know, new member reveal question mark,

<v Speaker 1>because it just felt to me like, as we get

<v Speaker 1>closer to survivor series and we get closer to war games,

<v Speaker 1>and it's very clear that this is going to be

<v Speaker 1>the war games match. It really, if you think about it,

<v Speaker 1>if they're going to do four on four, five on

<v Speaker 1>five and not change up the format of, of war games.

<v Speaker 1>And I don't, I mean, why would they, um, There's

<v Speaker 1>no other ongoing feud right now that even makes sense

<v Speaker 1>for the men's war games, other than the bloodline in 9-4-6.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, this feels like a gang war. So, of course,

<v Speaker 1>you would do a war games match. But you're going

<v Speaker 1>to need more people. Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, and Lucian

<v Speaker 1>Price were not enough. In fact, Carmelo Hayes is probably

<v Speaker 1>not enough. They're probably going to need one more. Unless, again,

<v Speaker 1>they have a woman on one side, a woman on

<v Speaker 1>the other. I suppose that's always a possibility. But they

<v Speaker 1>needed new blood. They needed new members. And I thought

<v Speaker 1>that this was a great choice. It's a great choice

<v Speaker 1>for a lot of reasons. But it's a great choice, obviously,

<v Speaker 1>for Carmelo Hayes, who felt like he was just stuck

<v Speaker 1>in a rut after having all these great matches on SmackDown.

<v Speaker 1>He was getting himself over vis-a-vis those matches. And then

<v Speaker 1>he just sort of took a backseat, vanished there for

<v Speaker 1>a little bit, I mean, it wasn't as bad as

<v Speaker 1>Ilya Dragunov. They just yanked him off TV and we

<v Speaker 1>just never saw him again. But it was like, man,

<v Speaker 1>where the fuck is Mello? All these people that are

<v Speaker 1>getting pushed on this show. And all of these people

<v Speaker 1>that are in the WWE title scene. You see how

<v Speaker 1>well Trick has been doing. And then, you know, Mello

<v Speaker 1>just feels like the odd man out. I would love

<v Speaker 1>to know how far back the plan goes for him

<v Speaker 1>to move to Raw and join this crew. I would

<v Speaker 1>imagine it goes back maybe a couple of months. But

<v Speaker 1>who knows? Maybe it goes back longer. Maybe it's something

<v Speaker 1>they decided upon in the last few weeks. Whatever it is,

<v Speaker 1>I'm happy they did. I think moving him to Raw

<v Speaker 1>is a great move. I think him being part of

<v Speaker 1>his crew is brilliant. I think one of the reasons

<v Speaker 1>is because he also fulfills a need, which is he's

<v Speaker 1>the guy who can go in there and be the workhorse.

<v Speaker 1>He's automatically, on day one here, night one, the best

<v Speaker 1>wrestler in the crew. I don't think anybody would argue that.

<v Speaker 1>So if you need that guy who can go in

<v Speaker 1>there and he can have great matches and get you

<v Speaker 1>some length in his matches, Carmelo Hayes is that guy, right?

<v Speaker 1>He's him, as he likes to call himself. So he

<v Speaker 1>immediately becomes the workhorse of this crew. And he can

<v Speaker 1>also talk. I'm not saying he's the best promo in

<v Speaker 1>the company, but he's not a bad promo. And Royce

<v Speaker 1>Keyes also is not a bad promo. He's not known

<v Speaker 1>for being a promo guy. But Hayes can talk. Hayes

<v Speaker 1>could work. He fits this part right now. And again,

<v Speaker 1>people were making a big deal about him blacking out

<v Speaker 1>his social media in the last few days. Or removing

<v Speaker 1>references to WWE, I think. And what does it all mean?

<v Speaker 1>He's angry. He's trying to get released. Or he wants out.

<v Speaker 1>And everyone's running rampant with all this speculation. I'm like,

<v Speaker 1>why do people constantly do this? This is not the

<v Speaker 1>first time something like this has happened. You just, they

<v Speaker 1>never learned their lesson. Didn't they do this with Johnny

<v Speaker 1>Gargano once before? I think it was Gargano, but it

<v Speaker 1>was somebody who blacked out their social media. And it's like,

<v Speaker 1>why do you constantly do this to yourselves? I mean,

<v Speaker 1>I can understand you look at his booking and you

<v Speaker 1>just assume, well, he hasn't been used. He hasn't been

<v Speaker 1>on TV. Now he's doing this. And, but again, this

<v Speaker 1>has been done before and it, never really leads to anything.

<v Speaker 1>What it led to was him being in a better

<v Speaker 1>position now than he was the last time we saw

<v Speaker 1>him on SmackDown. So I loved the move. I thought

<v Speaker 1>the little angle there at the end was fucking great.

<v Speaker 1>It became very clear, even if he did pop back

<v Speaker 1>up on SmackDown, there was no place for him there.

<v Speaker 1>Look at the traffic at the top of the card

<v Speaker 1>right now on SmackDown over the WWE Championship. Realistically, did

<v Speaker 1>you really think that Mello was going to kind of

<v Speaker 1>make his way into that picture as crowded as it

<v Speaker 1>is no so what is he going to do go

<v Speaker 1>back to the u.s title feud with trick again moving

<v Speaker 1>him to raw makes sense drew mcintyre when he comes

<v Speaker 1>back to tv him being on raw that makes sense

<v Speaker 1>certain things just you look at it and go okay

<v Speaker 1>this is the natural evolution of things This is what

<v Speaker 1>he did on Fridays, and he did well, and now

<v Speaker 1>there's really no spot for him. So why don't we

<v Speaker 1>get him on over to the other show? But it

<v Speaker 1>just so happens that now he's going to be a

<v Speaker 1>hell of a lot more prominently featured than he was before.

<v Speaker 1>If he wasn't going to be in the top mix

<v Speaker 1>on SmackDown, he absolutely is going to be in the

<v Speaker 1>top mix now on Raw just by virtue of being

<v Speaker 1>part of this group. My hope is that once they

<v Speaker 1>start losing matches at some point, because they can't be

<v Speaker 1>undefeated forever... You know, he doesn't become the fall guy

<v Speaker 1>like Austin Theory is to the vision. You know, hopefully

<v Speaker 1>that doesn't end up being the role for him. But

<v Speaker 1>you look ahead, you look towards, with an eye towards

<v Speaker 1>war games, and you think, okay, you got Roman Reigns.

<v Speaker 1>You've got Jacob Fatu, who's going to be back at

<v Speaker 1>some point soon. You've got Solo, who I'm sure is

<v Speaker 1>not done, right, tagging with his brothers. And you've got

<v Speaker 1>the Usos. So right there, you got your five guys.

<v Speaker 1>On the other side, you got Royce Keyes, you got

<v Speaker 1>Carmelo Hayes, you've got OTM, and right now that's it.

<v Speaker 1>We got Jada, but let's assume she's not going to

<v Speaker 1>be a part of that match. That's four. Five on

<v Speaker 1>this side, four on the other side. Who takes that

<v Speaker 1>fifth spot? If we get five on five in war games,

<v Speaker 1>and this is what we're looking at here, who gets

<v Speaker 1>that fifth spot? I come back to LA Knight. And

<v Speaker 1>you can say that well, it doesn't really fit. You know,

<v Speaker 1>he's not street. It just doesn't make any sense. It

<v Speaker 1>makes sense in this way. It makes sense in that

<v Speaker 1>he probably needs to go heal. And he was looking

<v Speaker 1>at Solo Sokoa on this show in such a way

<v Speaker 1>where he's not buying his bullshit. After everything, you go

<v Speaker 1>crawling back to the bloodline. Now he lost again to Roman.

<v Speaker 1>He's down in the dumps and he sees his friend

<v Speaker 1>teaming with the bloodline. Just send him over the edge.

<v Speaker 1>He turns on Solo Sakoa, right? The enemy of my

<v Speaker 1>enemy is my friend. It doesn't mean he has to

<v Speaker 1>join 9-4-6. Even it could just be a loose association

<v Speaker 1>for the purposes of getting them an extra man, an

<v Speaker 1>extra body on their side in war games. We've seen

<v Speaker 1>that before. We need a guy. Brock Lesnar last year, right?

<v Speaker 1>Didn't he team up with The Vision? If they need

<v Speaker 1>a guy, LA Knight plugging him in there as a

<v Speaker 1>heel would make sense. Because if not, then I truly

<v Speaker 1>don't know what is left for him to do on

<v Speaker 1>this show without moving him to SmackDown. We talked about

<v Speaker 1>Carmelo Hayes being moved from SmackDown to Raw. Maybe it

<v Speaker 1>ends up being an even trade. Maybe at the end

<v Speaker 1>of all this, you got Melo on Raw and you

<v Speaker 1>move Knight to SmackDown. Maybe that's the play. But I

<v Speaker 1>do think a heel turn would do him a lot

<v Speaker 1>of good. But that was Raw. From the IC title

<v Speaker 1>match on through the end of the show, I thought

<v Speaker 1>that was great stuff. Everything that came before it was

<v Speaker 1>boring as shit. A very, very dull first two hours

<v Speaker 1>plus of Monday Night Raw tonight. But I'm glad that

<v Speaker 1>you guys stuck with me. Again, I apologize for that

<v Speaker 1>delay at the beginning. Technology is a wonderful thing. But

<v Speaker 1>we got through it here. Let's take a look at

<v Speaker 1>the Super Chats that have come in. Came in earlier.

<v Speaker 1>There we go. Again, there's a lot of things that

<v Speaker 1>are just disabled. Like this machine may be when this

<v Speaker 1>stream is over and I take my crowbar to it.

<v Speaker 1>So I'll have to figure out what the hell's going

<v Speaker 1>on here. But they are going to be listed here

<v Speaker 1>so we can go through them even if they're not

<v Speaker 1>popping up on screen. Noah Kirby kicking us off here.

<v Speaker 1>wants to know what my favorite horror movie is, uh,

<v Speaker 1>we gotta go with the OG Halloween, 1978, uh, Prince Vegeta, 95, 999, honestly,

<v Speaker 1>after Saturday, I'm in favor of keeping LA Knight off

<v Speaker 1>TV or on Tubi, why book him in serious angles

<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna constantly disappoint his fans, I think it's

<v Speaker 1>a humiliation ritual, I think they enjoy it. Why would

<v Speaker 1>they stop? GMB says, would you let me give you

<v Speaker 1>a manly hug at least? No. I will allow a

<v Speaker 1>fist bump or an elbow bump, but that's about it.

<v Speaker 1>That's the only contact I will allow. From someone named GiveMeBackShotSolomonster.

<v Speaker 1>That's as close as you get. DeathSide says, I still

<v Speaker 1>think they need to move LA Knight to SmackDown and

<v Speaker 1>get him away from Roman Reigns. Just like when they

<v Speaker 1>moved Booker T the fuck away from Triple H. You'll

<v Speaker 1>notice what happened when they did that. He became King Booker.

<v Speaker 1>And then he became the World Heavyweight Champion. The Sheltered Kid,

<v Speaker 1>you saved my ass on my research paper, Solo, thanks

<v Speaker 1>to your info about Saudi in your last video. I

<v Speaker 1>added that to prove TKO our greedy assholes. My professor

<v Speaker 1>loved it. Well, I'm glad I can help you out there.

<v Speaker 1>Malachi Cross, if the invasion angle happened during the peak

<v Speaker 1>of the Monday Night Wars, which superstar would You want

<v Speaker 1>to start the story and with whom? Let's start with

<v Speaker 1>Austin and Hogan. Two biggest stars on either side leading

<v Speaker 1>the charge. Who's the biggest star in the history of

<v Speaker 1>the business? Who's the guy that's going to lead his

<v Speaker 1>side to the promised land? The two biggest business movers

<v Speaker 1>in the history of the business. There you go. He

<v Speaker 1>could have also done something with Austin and Goldberg if

<v Speaker 1>it was during that 98 period when Goldberg was white hot,

<v Speaker 1>but Austin and Hogan, man, that was the play. Austin

<v Speaker 1>and Hollywood Hogan. Robbie H5, so Solid Monster, are we

<v Speaker 1>going to get real about Big Cass? Or are we

<v Speaker 1>going to ignore this one because of interference? It is

<v Speaker 1>starting to get a little murky. I'll give you that.

<v Speaker 1>The dirt is starting to fall. We have A.D. A.Dushy.

<v Speaker 1>Did you hear the early reviews of people comparing Clayface

<v Speaker 1>to Obsession in regards to how uncomfortable the movie made

<v Speaker 1>them feel? I'm so excited. I saw a few things.

<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to avoid most of these reviews. First of all,

<v Speaker 1>I think it was from one fan event. So you've

<v Speaker 1>got to kind of temper your expectations here. It's not

<v Speaker 1>like all the reviews are out yet. The movie's still

<v Speaker 1>two weeks away. Or actually, no, it's a week away. Right?

<v Speaker 1>It's next week. But yeah, I read a little bit

<v Speaker 1>of it. And then I saw the comparison to Obsession.

<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, man, I wish I didn't read that.

<v Speaker 1>Because that just sounds like... It's an impossible bar to reach.

<v Speaker 1>Obsession is still my number one movie of the year.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think anything is going to unseat it. But

<v Speaker 1>if it makes people uncomfortable, that's a good sign. It's

<v Speaker 1>a body horror movie. Of course it's going to make

<v Speaker 1>people uncomfortable. Prince Vegeta says, I saw a theory from

<v Speaker 1>someone today that Penta is going to cash in on

<v Speaker 1>the AAA title. That would be terrible. What do you

<v Speaker 1>think those... That would be fucking awful and we're not

<v Speaker 1>going to talk about that. Because I don't want... to

<v Speaker 1>even wish that into existence. Realistically, no, I don't think

<v Speaker 1>it's going to happen. I'd put it at a non-zero

<v Speaker 1>chance of happening, meaning there's a chance, but I think

<v Speaker 1>it's a very low chance. I don't think even they

<v Speaker 1>can be that stupid. Robbie says, so 946, they were

<v Speaker 1>just chilling in a semi-trailer in the dark. That's how

<v Speaker 1>they roll. I can't explain it. Well, you know, Royce

<v Speaker 1>has that lighter. Maybe he was, you know, he had

<v Speaker 1>the lighter on, so they had some light in there.

<v Speaker 1>Ishmael says, rest in peace, RJ Middy. Yeah, that was

<v Speaker 1>very sad to hear. Only 34 years old. He played

<v Speaker 1>the son, Walter White's son, on Breaking Bad. Committed suicide.

<v Speaker 1>Michael from Brooklyn... I used the VPN tonight... And it

<v Speaker 1>made Raw so much more enjoyable... Also the end of

<v Speaker 1>the match... Wow... Who do you think is the next

<v Speaker 1>member of 946? 946 is the ghetto NWO... That we

<v Speaker 1>didn't know we needed... The ghetto NWO... Well I talked

<v Speaker 1>about LA Knight before... So in terms of a new member...

<v Speaker 1>Or at least a person to team up with them...

<v Speaker 1>In a War Games match. I mean, that's the name

<v Speaker 1>I keep coming back to. The Sheltered Kid feels weird

<v Speaker 1>that I forget Charlotte is on the roster. Yeah, it's

<v Speaker 1>kind of nice, isn't it? It's okay to take a

<v Speaker 1>backseat for a while. You know, eventually she'll be the

<v Speaker 1>champion again. I forget how many titles she's already up to.

<v Speaker 1>It's either 13 or 14. Believe me, she's got plenty

<v Speaker 1>of more titles to win. Hey, Retro, thank you. See,

<v Speaker 1>Retro thought that we might not be streaming tonight, so

<v Speaker 1>he may not even be here with us. Alexandra says,

<v Speaker 1>Salamonster didn't put over OBS. Now, OBS, it turned on me.

<v Speaker 1>It turned heel on me. The Ufman. OBS was John Cena.

<v Speaker 1>Salamonster was Mark Henry. I got plenty of fight left

<v Speaker 1>in me. I was ready to throw in the towel.

<v Speaker 1>So let me try this one last thing. The Long

<v Speaker 1>Island Wiseguy. If I was in charge of the MLB postseason,

<v Speaker 1>the wild card series would be five games and the

<v Speaker 1>division series would be seven games. Everything else is the same.

<v Speaker 1>That works. Everybody ready for the lockout? How long do

<v Speaker 1>you think it'll go this time? And Orwizzle, 24. Who

<v Speaker 1>should be the next member for 946? Again, we already

<v Speaker 1>talked about that. I like the current number of members

<v Speaker 1>they have. I really don't think you have to add

<v Speaker 1>anybody else. But for the purposes of war games, I

<v Speaker 1>think LA Knight ends up on their side. That's what

<v Speaker 1>I think. That's what I think happens there. Oh, we

<v Speaker 1>got Johnson Cameo, 18. I'm four classes away from getting

<v Speaker 1>my degree in applied science. Thank you, Solo, for being

<v Speaker 1>a part of my homework and study time, having your

<v Speaker 1>reviews and opinions in the background. Much respect. Love from Chicago. Well,

<v Speaker 1>first of all, congrats. That's awesome. And I love hearing

<v Speaker 1>stuff like that. If the show and the streams could

<v Speaker 1>be of help, even in some small way, that makes

<v Speaker 1>me happy. I'm glad to hear it. And that's all

<v Speaker 1>I got. Probably the lowest number of supers for a

<v Speaker 1>raw review. But again, that's my fault because we had

<v Speaker 1>a little technical issue. So I know some people went

<v Speaker 1>to bed or they dropped off or they're playing. Well,

<v Speaker 1>I guess GTA is not out yet. We are about

<v Speaker 1>a month away from GTA 6. People are going to

<v Speaker 1>hunker down. They're going to hibernate with their game. We're

<v Speaker 1>not going to see them for months. I said, as

<v Speaker 1>long as you keep listening to the shows in the background,

<v Speaker 1>that's okay. You can play GTA to your heart's content.

<v Speaker 1>Andre Jefferson with the $ 10 Super Chat. Not only did

<v Speaker 1>Carmelo join 946, but also OBS. Nobody is safe. OBS

<v Speaker 1>is the newest member of 946. Uh, Balloonion Solo. I

<v Speaker 1>just watched the It movie for the first time and

<v Speaker 1>it was good. It was good. Did you like the

<v Speaker 1>movie better than the miniseries? Well, you're going to be

<v Speaker 1>potentially very shocked when I tell you this. I've never

<v Speaker 1>seen It. The original, the reboot or whatever it was,

<v Speaker 1>the miniseries, right? Welcome to Derry, I think it's called.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not an It guy. I don't have It. I'd

<v Speaker 1>like to have it. I'm going to try to dive

<v Speaker 1>into it. I just haven't yet. Big G says, I'm

<v Speaker 1>playing GTA 5. I'm sure a lot of people are

<v Speaker 1>still playing GTA 5. Nothing wrong with that. But the

<v Speaker 1>radio stations are an important part of the GTA experience.

<v Speaker 1>I was very happy the first time years ago when

<v Speaker 1>I realized that they were playing Hall and oats on

<v Speaker 1>some of the hall and oats had this like resurgence

<v Speaker 1>of popularity and apparently it was because people were hearing

<v Speaker 1>their music on the on the radio stations in gta

<v Speaker 1>and i'm like man that's that's pretty cool that's pretty

<v Speaker 1>cool stuff all right so we're going to do one

<v Speaker 1>round to be the booker um again some of the

<v Speaker 1>shit's not working so i couldn't even uh do our

<v Speaker 1>little wheel gimmick here but we have 460 likes and

<v Speaker 1>I feel like I owe you at least that much

<v Speaker 1>so let's go ahead and be the booker ladies and

<v Speaker 1>gentlemen it is now time to be the booker we

<v Speaker 1>have to be the booker on a Monday night all

<v Speaker 1>right we got one round so we're gonna try to

<v Speaker 1>make this count really got to make this round count.

<v Speaker 1>And we're going to begin with the Powers of Pain,

<v Speaker 1>who were babyfaces when they first started, and then there

<v Speaker 1>was a very memorable double turn where Demolition ditched Mr.

<v Speaker 1>Fuji at the Survivor Series in 88, and the Powers

<v Speaker 1>of Pain saw what they did to Fuji, and they

<v Speaker 1>picked him up, and they brushed him off. And just

<v Speaker 1>like that, He became the manager for the Powers of Pain.

<v Speaker 1>A very simple double turn there. Let's see if we

<v Speaker 1>can land on Demolition. I think it would be very

<v Speaker 1>appropriate if we can. Powers of Pain. Two big dudes.

<v Speaker 1>Going to be getting in the ring with Jimmy and Jay.

<v Speaker 1>Run the play. They're going to run the play on

<v Speaker 1>the Powers of Pain. What do you think about that?

<v Speaker 1>The Usos and the Powers of Pain. All right, women's

<v Speaker 1>Be The Booker. We have Hikaru Shida, the former AEW

<v Speaker 1>Women's World Champion. And Hikaru Shida is going to be

<v Speaker 1>going one-on-one with Alex Windsor. We got a collision match

<v Speaker 1>here in Be The Booker. Is it Saturday night yet? No,

<v Speaker 1>it's only Monday. Saturday is Wrestle Dream. And our main event.

<v Speaker 1>We have The Fiend. Just in time for Halloween, we

<v Speaker 1>have Bray Wyatt. And Bray Wyatt needs an opponent. The

<v Speaker 1>Fiend needs someone to wrestle. They look so similar. We

<v Speaker 1>have the Beast Mortos taking on the Fiend, Bray Wyatt.

<v Speaker 1>This is actually the perfect match for Halloween. This is

<v Speaker 1>the perfect Halloween match. Right? The masks. I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>At first, when we landed on him, I was like, boy,

<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm looking at a doppelganger here. What

<v Speaker 1>a match that would be. The Beast Mortos and the Fiend,

<v Speaker 1>Bray Wyatt. It's a Halloween showdown if I've ever seen one.

<v Speaker 1>I like that. Thank you guys for hanging out with

<v Speaker 1>me here on a Monday night. A little bit later

<v Speaker 1>than I wanted to, but we got it done. We

<v Speaker 1>talked about the big angle at the end of the show.

<v Speaker 1>I'm going to have more thoughts on just all this

<v Speaker 1>money in the bank fallout tomorrow on the Uncrowned Wrestling Show.

<v Speaker 1>I'm going to actually talk about TNA tomorrow. Bound for

<v Speaker 1>Glory and some controversy coming out of that show. Talk TNA, WWE, AEW,

<v Speaker 1>New Japan. A lot of New Japan, AEW stuff to

<v Speaker 1>get into. Some big things going on there. More than

<v Speaker 1>there has been in quite some time, and it's all

<v Speaker 1>leading to Wrestle Kingdom. So we're going to talk about

<v Speaker 1>that and some other things as well. It's going to

<v Speaker 1>be a good show tomorrow. That's the Uncrowned Wrestling Show.

<v Speaker 1>So you will want to make sure that there it is.

<v Speaker 1>There it is. Love that old school logo there. So anyway,

<v Speaker 1>that is tomorrow. Of course, tomorrow night will be a

<v Speaker 1>brand new edition of TNT as well, with myself and

<v Speaker 1>JD over on his channel. Hopefully the next time I'm

<v Speaker 1>back with you on Wednesday for the Dynamite Post Show,

<v Speaker 1>I get this shit sorted out. Everything just looks so

<v Speaker 1>different now. Everything's all fucked up. I gotta fix this. Ugh.

<v Speaker 1>Of course. It's always something. It's always something. Friday, we

<v Speaker 1>got SmackDown, and then as I mentioned, we got WrestleDream

<v Speaker 1>coming up this weekend. I don't know that I'm going

<v Speaker 1>to be live after that one. I really wish that

<v Speaker 1>Tony would bump these pay-per-views back up to 7 p.m.

<v Speaker 1>He did it for like one show. He did it

<v Speaker 1>for one show. He did it for the one in July,

<v Speaker 1>whatever the hell that show was. And then he went

<v Speaker 1>right back to 8 p.m. for All Out. WrestleDream will

<v Speaker 1>probably end up having, if not the lowest, I predict

<v Speaker 1>one of the, I predict maybe the lowest buy rate

<v Speaker 1>of any AEW pay-per-view this year. I don't see that

<v Speaker 1>show doing as well as a lot of their other

<v Speaker 1>shows have done, so. But that's coming up this weekend.

<v Speaker 1>And again, if you missed episode 984 of The Sound Off,

<v Speaker 1>please go back and check it out. Thank you for

<v Speaker 1>making me number one on the charts this morning. I

<v Speaker 1>appreciate that. And that's all I got for you. So

<v Speaker 1>be well. Stay safe. Tony Khan loves his 10-hour shows.

<v Speaker 1>Get ready for those marathons. Oh, we got a couple

<v Speaker 1>more Super Chats here. Steve Mello, shout out to Steve.

<v Speaker 1>Appreciate you, my friend. OBS, that don't work for me, brother.

<v Speaker 1>And we got William Valencia. You keep suggesting that Drew

<v Speaker 1>go to Raw, but wouldn't it make sense for him

<v Speaker 1>to stay on SmackDown and face Sammy, a man that

<v Speaker 1>he has never lost a match to? Feel like there

<v Speaker 1>is a story there. Okay, and then what? So he

<v Speaker 1>does the story with Sammy and then what? I mean,

<v Speaker 1>you're not wrong. But they're already front-loaded with big names

<v Speaker 1>on that show. It makes more sense for him to

<v Speaker 1>go to Raw. I'll see you guys back here for

<v Speaker 1>the Dynamite Post Show on Wednesday. Until then, take care, guys.
