00:29.866 --> 00:32.310
[SPEAKER_01]: in the WWE ecosystem right now.

00:32.350 --> 00:35.355

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to let him pick a new advocate for 26.

01:08.296 --> 01:18.748
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's time for him to advocate for someone else now because a thing, Jada Parker is just sign line out on ice indefinitely.

01:19.348 --> 01:24.174
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'll let him choose tonight a new client to represent.

01:24.635 --> 01:35.327

[SPEAKER_00]: We are here on a Monday.

01:44.425 --> 01:48.816
[SPEAKER_00]: And for my new client, I am going to stick with the ladies because they've done me well.

01:49.518 --> 01:52.084
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going with Rinse and Claire for 2026.

01:52.553 --> 01:57.298
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, Rinse and Claire, 2026 is going to be your new client.

01:57.759 --> 02:03.024
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to be the advocate for her, giving her that 2026 push and knowing NXT.

02:03.445 --> 02:06.969
[SPEAKER_01]: She'll get pushed right to the main roster by the end of the year with zero wins.

02:09.631 --> 02:11.774
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's probably what's going to happen, but that's okay.

02:11.994 --> 02:13.456
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish you get that main roster money.

02:13.496 --> 02:15.658
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to get a couple of nice title matches this year.

02:15.698 --> 02:19.422
[SPEAKER_00]: I see your turn on Kindle here soon.

02:19.621 --> 02:23.089
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, so yeah, Rinse and Claire is going to be my, my pick this year.

02:23.129 --> 02:25.073
[SPEAKER_00]: I see some nice things happen for.

02:25.935 --> 02:27.238
[SPEAKER_01]: All righty, so that's your advocate.

02:27.258 --> 02:36.077
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to reassess in about a year from now to see where she stands on NXT possibly the main roster as well.

02:36.395 --> 02:37.937
[SPEAKER_01]: Do I have a client for this year?

02:37.997 --> 02:39.920
[SPEAKER_01]: Do I want to represent somebody for the year 2026?

02:41.221 --> 02:42.383
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me think for a second.

02:43.144 --> 02:45.087
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me marinate on this for a moment.

02:45.167 --> 02:49.693
[SPEAKER_01]: Who should I represent from NXT or the main roster?

02:50.314 --> 02:52.216
[SPEAKER_01]: Who should I take on as a client?

02:52.617 --> 02:53.138
[SPEAKER_00]: Or to be?

02:53.318 --> 02:56.482
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you guys saw you take a shot at NXT saying it's the worst show in WWE.

02:56.562 --> 02:57.023
[SPEAKER_00]: Or to be?

02:57.443 --> 02:59.466
[SPEAKER_00]: And he balled his right there, still.

03:00.374 --> 03:01.576
[SPEAKER_01]: There's some pieces, though.

03:01.696 --> 03:02.537
[SPEAKER_01]: There's some pieces.

03:02.917 --> 03:03.438
[SPEAKER_01]: That's fair.

03:03.458 --> 03:03.859
[SPEAKER_01]: Pieces.

03:04.359 --> 03:11.469
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so I, you know what, I'm going to take on three clients to get out of to be purgatory for 2026.

03:13.051 --> 03:17.557
[SPEAKER_01]: All talented people that can be upgraded to NXT or the main roster.

03:18.258 --> 03:23.125
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to represent Cali Armstrong, former evolved woman's champion.

03:24.134 --> 03:33.644
[SPEAKER_01]: Sean Legacy, get him all revolve, put him on NXT and Jack Carr will get that man all revolve and put that man on NXT.

03:33.664 --> 03:40.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Those are my clients for 2026 to get upgraded from 2B to at least the CW, the Melanie didn't work.

03:42.234 --> 03:44.516
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, no love for Nikita Lions and that wonderful rap.

03:44.536 --> 03:48.180
[SPEAKER_00]: She did for Becky Lynch backstage, huh?

03:48.200 --> 03:49.922
[SPEAKER_01]: Listen, let me tell you something.

03:50.577 --> 04:04.887
[SPEAKER_01]: If you need a guiltyous pleasure for 2026, that makes you feel so bad, but so good at the same time, it might be the key to lions, that you just can't not watch her.

04:05.247 --> 04:10.358
[SPEAKER_01]: You cannot not look away from what you're watching, because you don't know what to hell you're watching.

04:11.992 --> 04:13.053
[SPEAKER_00]: or what she's going to say.

04:13.073 --> 04:15.415
[SPEAKER_00]: Even Becky Lynch, I look like, yeah, is this over?

04:15.855 --> 04:17.517
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, how long are you going to try to keep rapping?

04:17.537 --> 04:20.700
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a bit much, but all right, we keep it lying.

04:20.720 --> 04:24.543
[SPEAKER_00]: Shout out to you for making it on our show for the first time in two years.

04:25.704 --> 04:27.325
[SPEAKER_01]: Getting represented already.

04:27.345 --> 04:28.927
[SPEAKER_01]: So we've got some people in the house tonight.

04:29.227 --> 04:41.998
[SPEAKER_01]: We got Fernando, our guy, our day one guy, talking about a solid Monday night raw, but trash finished though, triple H. Once again, chickens out on pulling the trigger

04:41.978 --> 04:45.341
[SPEAKER_01]: on a major star in a huge WWE moment.

04:46.302 --> 04:47.664
[SPEAKER_01]: We will reassess on that.

04:48.244 --> 04:50.507
[SPEAKER_01]: Hello Brian from our discord fan.

04:50.527 --> 04:53.610
[SPEAKER_01]: Hello hello hello and hello Hassan.

04:53.670 --> 04:56.072
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to the party as well.

04:56.112 --> 04:57.774
[SPEAKER_01]: We are doing very good tonight.

04:57.834 --> 05:02.078
[SPEAKER_01]: Our first live show on a Monday night right after Monday night raw.

05:02.138 --> 05:07.904
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for joining in on the party as we're going to dive into some WWE talk in just a moment.

05:08.064 --> 05:08.965
[SPEAKER_01]: But

05:08.945 --> 05:22.968
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to talk a little NBA for our peeps out there because as what we do, we kind of go through the standings each week with the West and the East and Scott, I just, I have to just rip the band out off.

05:22.988 --> 05:33.265
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what's coming from my team, the Hawks are going to trade trade young and as I told you last week, don't be surprised if he's going to be wrapping LA.

05:35.118 --> 05:36.961
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'll be repin' LA fitness at best.

05:37.261 --> 05:40.806
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, he's gonna get, he's gonna get traded to the wizards.

05:41.126 --> 05:43.269
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, he's that going to the lakers.

05:44.752 --> 05:46.013
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not happening.

05:46.053 --> 05:49.078
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't have anybody that we wanna send to ATL.

05:49.638 --> 05:54.425
[SPEAKER_00]: And we don't have any reason to get tri-young when we already have the worst defender in the league and Luca Donchez.

05:54.445 --> 05:56.228
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're good on that.

05:56.688 --> 05:57.730
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll be fine.

05:58.471 --> 06:05.040
[SPEAKER_00]: We can barely beat the Grizzlies and I don't think tri-young is gonna help us

06:05.560 --> 06:12.408
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so quickly going through the west right now, the standings are the thunder, 30 and seven, five and five in their last 10.

06:12.448 --> 06:13.989
[SPEAKER_01]: They're running at 500 right now.

06:14.390 --> 06:19.315
[SPEAKER_01]: The spurs are 25 and 10, seven and three in their last 10, the rockets.

06:19.776 --> 06:22.659
[SPEAKER_01]: Number three as well as the Lakers, 22 and 11 apiece.

06:23.200 --> 06:35.213
[SPEAKER_01]: Number five are the Denver Nuggets, 23 and 12, the timber wolves, number six, 23 and 13, the sons, 21 and 15, the warriors in the eighth spot, 19 and 17.

06:35.193 --> 06:40.458
[SPEAKER_01]: The trailblazers 16 and 20, the Grizzlies 15 and 20, and from there, we're just bringing up the rear.

06:40.878 --> 06:42.099
[SPEAKER_01]: No need to mention anyone else.

06:42.540 --> 06:55.952
[SPEAKER_01]: For the East, the Piston, still leading 27 and 9, the Celtics number two now, 23 and 12, one game ahead of the Nix, who are also 23 and 13, the Raptors coming in at number four, 22 and 15.

06:55.972 --> 07:04.440
[SPEAKER_01]: The 76ers, 19 and 14, the magic, and the Heat Tide for six and seven with 2016 Cavaliers.

07:04.420 --> 07:15.422
[SPEAKER_01]: 2017, the bulls, 17 and 19, the hawks, 17 and 21, the bucks, 16 and 20 and the rest of the team leading the rear includes the hornets and so forth.

07:15.762 --> 07:19.069
[SPEAKER_01]: So that is a standings for the East and the West.

07:19.269 --> 07:25.281
[SPEAKER_01]: Anything standing out to you right now, Scott, as we're approaching the R star break in about a month's time.

07:26.493 --> 07:31.137
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, you know, like I've been saying, after the all start break is when things are really going to matter.

07:31.177 --> 07:33.239
[SPEAKER_00]: And the thunder now can probably just take a sigh of relief.

07:33.259 --> 07:38.865
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't have to worry about chasing any records and Jalen Brown is trying to make a strong case for MVP.

07:39.926 --> 07:41.828
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we shall see how it goes.

07:41.908 --> 07:49.655
[SPEAKER_01]: That is our NBA Yackity Act, get you through the midway point of the season, which is coming upon us very, very quickly.

07:50.176 --> 07:54.660
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, let's get to one more item of business Scott, are you a football fan?

07:55.585 --> 08:01.212
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a Bill's fan, so you know, don't really have a lot of hope when it comes play off time, but I enjoy the regular season.

08:01.933 --> 08:09.482
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so you know that your bills are going down to do all county to play the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend.

08:09.642 --> 08:15.369
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you believe the bills can pull off an upset on the road against rubber Lawrence and company?

08:16.270 --> 08:18.913
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I believe they'll do the Lord's work in Centoni Con home.

08:19.454 --> 08:25.221
[SPEAKER_00]: Back to A.W.s, he can focus fully on his company

08:25.623 --> 08:26.645
[SPEAKER_01]: Alrighty, Alrighty.

08:26.685 --> 08:28.529
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know, I have no dog in the fight.

08:28.609 --> 08:31.856
[SPEAKER_01]: I do like the bears, like Fernando, I enjoy the bears.

08:32.678 --> 08:34.442
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I like Houston as well.

08:34.482 --> 08:40.475
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love for the bills to have a chance to do something in the postseason wide open this year.

08:40.936 --> 08:44.323
[SPEAKER_01]: So I just think that it's anybody's game.

08:44.303 --> 08:45.525
[SPEAKER_01]: It's white open.

08:45.766 --> 08:53.099
[SPEAKER_01]: The Seahawks have the number one seed in the NFC and then the Broncos have the number one seed out in the AFC.

08:53.119 --> 09:05.682
[SPEAKER_01]: So I honestly don't know who's got this, but all I know is that I'm very happy to be an Atlanta Falcons fan because they fired everyone over the last 24 hours blessings for me.

09:06.102 --> 09:07.645
[SPEAKER_01]: We're trying to rebuild.

09:08.030 --> 09:13.359
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm trying to rebuild after you gave the death hug of the coach and the owner.

09:14.300 --> 09:18.207
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not you got some nasty work going on down there at that land.

09:18.327 --> 09:21.652
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what is in y'all's water, but y'all got some nasty work going on.

09:21.893 --> 09:24.317
[SPEAKER_00]: That man gave him a full hug and brace.

09:24.477 --> 09:25.879
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, yeah, you did great.

09:26.340 --> 09:31.388
[SPEAKER_00]: An hour later, cinnamon's papers nasty work down there at that land.

09:31.368 --> 09:34.132
[SPEAKER_01]: Listen, it was nasty, necessary work, and I loved it.

09:34.593 --> 09:38.418
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he told him, can you come back and say, goodbye to the team today, as you clearly had your locker?

09:39.439 --> 09:42.704
[SPEAKER_01]: So I love the petty, and needed to happen, Scott.

09:42.784 --> 09:45.568
[SPEAKER_01]: It was needed to shake things up.

09:45.628 --> 09:47.511
[SPEAKER_01]: We have been trading water for eight years.

09:47.831 --> 09:50.314
[SPEAKER_01]: We have sucked for eight straight years.

09:50.335 --> 09:53.038
[SPEAKER_01]: No playoff appearances, it's time to go.

09:53.319 --> 09:55.882
[SPEAKER_01]: We got a one-art division by beating the freaking jets.

09:55.902 --> 09:56.643
[SPEAKER_01]: So we had to go.

09:56.703 --> 09:57.865
[SPEAKER_01]: We had to go.

10:00.241 --> 10:06.816
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm going for an employer and Rogers in my time and if the bills don't wet, and I wouldn't mind my time and getting another one.

10:06.836 --> 10:12.630
[SPEAKER_00]: I know people hate Aaron Rogers, but I'd love to see the old gunslinger have one more last rodeo.

10:12.796 --> 10:27.204
[SPEAKER_01]: boo hiss and then suckling back to the NBA talk for Nando Noises spurs are the only team who be okay see the three games in a row in 12 days that is facts on that and also go bears.

10:27.284 --> 10:30.971
[SPEAKER_01]: rooting for the bears against the packers on prime video this Saturday.

10:31.051 --> 10:34.939
[SPEAKER_01]: Thing is crossing get the job done and not play from behind for most

10:34.919 --> 10:35.660
[SPEAKER_01]: of the game.

10:35.680 --> 10:38.326
[SPEAKER_01]: Like they've done for most of the season.

10:38.827 --> 10:39.929
[SPEAKER_01]: Can't do that in the playoffs.

10:39.949 --> 10:48.365
[SPEAKER_01]: You will get caught up pretty fast and you will not get back in the game if you are too far behind, especially in the postseason.

10:48.746 --> 10:50.329
[SPEAKER_01]: But enough sports talk.

10:50.309 --> 10:53.316
[SPEAKER_01]: enough NFL talk enough NBA talk.

10:53.817 --> 10:57.165
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get to some WWE business shall we?

12:38.518 --> 12:41.283
[SPEAKER_01]: By the Hawkins lab as well, that's what happened.

12:41.543 --> 12:45.530
[SPEAKER_01]: Those walls are broken down in the wormhole, apparently.

12:45.991 --> 12:48.315
[SPEAKER_01]: But Scott, well, was your thoughts on the aesthetic?

12:48.395 --> 12:51.981
[SPEAKER_01]: From Monday Night Raw, we got the van, we got the...

12:52.366 --> 12:57.374
[SPEAKER_01]: little creepiness of the slime on the main entrance way at ring side.

12:57.414 --> 13:11.657
[SPEAKER_01]: It was very good in terms of attention to detail even the chapters per segment was pretty cool in terms of they know the show the branding was everything and I like the theme of it all for the night.

13:14.168 --> 13:20.435
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was one of the best little crossovers and cross-promotionals they've done that I've seen in a long time.

13:20.455 --> 13:22.477
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the chapters was really cool.

13:22.497 --> 13:26.822
[SPEAKER_00]: I honestly wouldn't mind some form of the chapters thing sticking.

13:26.882 --> 13:27.943
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually really liked that.

13:28.003 --> 13:29.725
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it worked really well.

13:29.745 --> 13:31.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever what segment was coming next.

13:32.929 --> 13:35.792
[SPEAKER_00]: The opening was really cool with the upside down.

13:36.312 --> 13:38.775
[SPEAKER_00]: Graves and then coming out Graves was just

13:38.755 --> 13:42.304
[SPEAKER_00]: throwing all kinds of little Easter eggs and stuff.

13:42.324 --> 13:44.589
[SPEAKER_00]: He called Michael Cole a mouth breather at one point.

13:45.131 --> 13:48.138
[SPEAKER_00]: So I really enjoyed the whole crossover aspect.

13:48.158 --> 13:49.862
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was really well done.

13:50.467 --> 14:04.238
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought so too way better than the Fabricie egg from four years ago when they tried to promote a movie on Netflix that meant absolutely nothing in hindsight from the rock who was not going to appear to promote a damn egg.

14:04.639 --> 14:07.345
[SPEAKER_01]: But I thought this was very clever and sleek.

14:07.445 --> 14:09.049
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the cross-promotion of it.

14:09.029 --> 14:14.635
[SPEAKER_01]: It was references I completely got from the beginning because I'm a big stranger thanks fan as well.

14:14.795 --> 14:19.660
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was a nice tip of the cap for the series that wrapped just a few days ago.

14:19.680 --> 14:37.939
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a part of our lives for 10 years if you watched from getting to end and it meant a great deal to me as a fan to see those little nuggets on the air from Monday, Night Raw and Scott, did you cry during the finale?

14:38.645 --> 14:50.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was pretty good throughout the whole thing until the very end, that last 10 minutes and Mike's whole little diatribe at the end was that got me.

14:50.691 --> 14:56.063
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, a couple of little water drops filled down at the end.

14:56.043 --> 14:59.588
[SPEAKER_00]: That whole speech he gave at the end was really well done.

14:59.608 --> 15:09.342
[SPEAKER_00]: It definitely encapsulated the entire series, the journey that they took, him closing the door on that chapter of the story while his younger siblings and stuff.

15:09.362 --> 15:11.585
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, his younger sister and all their friends were down there.

15:11.605 --> 15:13.528
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was really well done.

15:13.745 --> 15:18.872
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it was the beginning of a new story and a closing of that chapter, and I loved it.

15:19.093 --> 15:21.716
[SPEAKER_01]: I cried to, I cried when Prince came on.

15:21.777 --> 15:33.253
[SPEAKER_01]: I won't say which song got me, but if you know, you know, I was born like a baby in the middle of the night, the audacity for them to get me like that for the last episode, it got me.

15:33.513 --> 15:40.984
[SPEAKER_01]: It really really got me, and Brian asked, and Brian asked a very good question, they couldn't get any of the actors to promote the show.

15:40.964 --> 15:45.570
[SPEAKER_01]: Ironically enough Sadie Singh who plays Max was in the area.

15:45.891 --> 15:47.954
[SPEAKER_01]: She was all in the tonight show with Jimmy Fallon.

15:48.034 --> 15:49.956
[SPEAKER_01]: So they could have got her for this.

15:50.517 --> 15:52.279
[SPEAKER_01]: And they taper early for the tonight show.

15:52.299 --> 15:54.382
[SPEAKER_01]: She could have made it all over to the Berkeley Center.

15:54.803 --> 15:56.165
[SPEAKER_01]: But it wasn't possible.

15:56.505 --> 15:58.969
[SPEAKER_01]: I know there were some rumors about what you'll carry showing up.

15:59.009 --> 16:00.110
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't believe that.

16:00.190 --> 16:03.395
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that was some fantasy of people wanting them to be there.

16:03.475 --> 16:03.715
[SPEAKER_01]: But I

16:03.695 --> 16:11.578
[SPEAKER_01]: I would have thought it could have got some people there to be in the front row or during some at least tape segments to get the crossover over.

16:12.841 --> 16:18.832
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, David Harpers and in the MCU right now, the dude is not worried about no Netflix strange things that we call so over.

16:18.872 --> 16:31.895
[SPEAKER_00]: Millie Bobby Brown, she she doing things with bond jovis, you know, that they cared and stuff and bond jovis son and then, like you said, Joe Steve Harrington, that man got the number one song on Spotify, that man is a living life right now.

16:31.955 --> 16:34.900
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not worried about it either, so I'm not surprised.

16:35.420 --> 16:40.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but then later, we mentioned, no, Millie Bobby, no, Millie Bobby Brown was sad.

16:40.567 --> 16:45.494
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to mone with her in a rear replay that would have been cool if it would have happened, but Millie's booked and busy.

16:45.775 --> 16:48.939
[SPEAKER_01]: She's a mom and she's a wife and she ain't got time.

16:49.440 --> 16:54.887
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, I cash my last check on that show and I'm I'm Gucci and I'm totally understand that.

16:55.348 --> 16:58.272
[SPEAKER_01]: And now, why are you trying to speak this to existence like the B?

16:58.252 --> 17:06.624
[SPEAKER_01]: So now we need a love island or a love is blind, themed raw, get Nicholas Shea in there, put Dom and live in the pods.

17:08.988 --> 17:12.253
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, nobody needs to turn the raw up to 98 degrees.

17:12.313 --> 17:13.374
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody's asking for that.

17:14.456 --> 17:14.897
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

17:14.937 --> 17:18.522
[SPEAKER_00]: Give them the karaoke shows that they're doing all over the place.

17:18.687 --> 17:20.028
[SPEAKER_00]: we're good on all of that.

17:20.329 --> 17:23.852
[SPEAKER_00]: So Nicholas Shay, you can stay and do whatever host and gig you got going on.

17:23.912 --> 17:24.853
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good on that.

17:25.614 --> 17:27.976
[SPEAKER_00]: Dom and Liv doing something, now that's different.

17:28.217 --> 17:32.341
[SPEAKER_00]: But as far as Nicholas Shay goes, let's keep that in about 48 degrees.

17:32.361 --> 17:32.801
[SPEAKER_00]: 48 degrees.

17:36.045 --> 17:39.568
[SPEAKER_01]: He broke Lady V. 48 degrees is wild.

17:39.608 --> 17:43.412
[SPEAKER_01]: And the fact that you know Scott,

17:43.544 --> 18:00.304
[SPEAKER_01]: what they're doing for work is nasty, saying they're just handing up the local karaoke bars, there might be a cruise ship somewhere in America, they're on the 90s weekend, somewhere on like Whork Ribby Inn.

18:00.284 --> 18:12.181
[SPEAKER_01]: and having a time or give me some kind of 90s tour with the new kids on the block and the backstreet boys who are a little bit too big for them now that the spear now is a little above them at the moment.

18:12.602 --> 18:23.558
[SPEAKER_01]: But to say to even suggest exactly where they are on tour at their local

18:23.842 --> 18:29.461
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Justin Timberlake's doing karaoke with the fans on all his shows, even though their big stadium shows, he ain't singing either.

18:29.481 --> 18:31.748
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just dropping the mic and doing the waves.

18:31.869 --> 18:33.213
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's no different.

18:33.253 --> 18:34.999
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just doing it at bigger venues.

18:35.907 --> 19:01.830
[SPEAKER_01]: but for you to just speak a specific location and say that's what they're doing is nasty work, nasty, but on the plus side I will say that I would love to see Liv and Dom on like a love is blind or love island because WWE is definitely that if you watch NXT, that is a reality show that needs to be documented for the record.

19:03.177 --> 19:03.878
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's for sure.

19:03.898 --> 19:09.269
[SPEAKER_00]: All the relationships that come and go on that show and Carmelo talking about bringing Kalani boredom up the Smackdown.

19:09.330 --> 19:11.714
[SPEAKER_00]: So all that going on, sir.

19:12.015 --> 19:15.482
[SPEAKER_01]: See, you have to let go of Kalani we need to distinct.

19:16.306 --> 19:16.847
[SPEAKER_01]: the two.

19:17.207 --> 19:18.550
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's separate the two.

19:18.910 --> 19:22.356
[SPEAKER_01]: We have Kalani, the promo, which is not great.

19:23.017 --> 19:26.442
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we have Kalani, the hero wrestler, who is very good.

19:26.483 --> 19:30.048
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm a fan of the wrestler who's a heal.

19:30.349 --> 19:32.853
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, she does need work in the promo department.

19:32.913 --> 19:43.410
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no denying that, but what I will not allow you to continue to do is slander Kalani's hero work, at least for me, professional wrestling in the

19:45.112 --> 19:52.238
[SPEAKER_00]: I give you that, it's your track record of converting me into fans of certain wrestlers and women is pretty good.

19:52.359 --> 19:53.864
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'll give you that.

19:54.045 --> 19:55.510
[SPEAKER_00]: She's a real good wrestler.

19:56.131 --> 19:57.193
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm undefeated, man.

19:57.333 --> 20:01.020
[SPEAKER_01]: I will convert you to a Kalani lover by the end of this year.

20:01.100 --> 20:10.577
[SPEAKER_01]: She will turn the corner as a heal and she'll start finding her voice and rhythm on the microphone and you too will not call her Kalani boredom anymore.

20:10.818 --> 20:14.104
[SPEAKER_01]: You will join the Kalani fan train.

20:14.284 --> 20:15.286
[SPEAKER_01]: I do believe that.

20:15.827 --> 20:19.894
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to market right here for January 5th, 2026.

20:21.359 --> 20:25.465
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let me tell you what you got some work to do, because I like Naomi a lot more than I like Colony.

20:25.665 --> 20:28.630
[SPEAKER_00]: But I digress, but you did convert me to Naomi.

20:29.030 --> 20:30.673
[SPEAKER_01]: Which is my greatest achievement to date.

20:31.234 --> 20:33.817
[SPEAKER_01]: That is my greatest achievement, because I had to work hard.

20:34.559 --> 20:35.760
[SPEAKER_01]: I worked long hours.

20:35.921 --> 20:42.991
[SPEAKER_01]: I worked several nine to five for four years to get this man to recognize Naomi's greatness.

20:43.291 --> 20:44.573
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have achieved that goal.

20:44.673 --> 20:47.738
[SPEAKER_01]: I unlocked it, and I'm proud of myself.

20:47.718 --> 20:50.882
[SPEAKER_01]: But let's get to some Monday Night RAW talk.

20:50.982 --> 20:56.008
[SPEAKER_01]: The first match of the night was for the WWE Women's tag team titles.

20:56.169 --> 21:11.548
[SPEAKER_01]: It was the Kabuki Warriors vs. Rear Ripley and Eoski and conventional WWE booking suggests that if heels lost on SmackDown three days before, you're going to retain your championship on this night, but that did not happen.

21:11.528 --> 21:23.513
[SPEAKER_01]: As Rhea and EO got the W I was pleasantly surprised it was a very good back and forth match both baby faces sold throughout made a comeback at the hot tack pop the crowd and then

21:24.522 --> 21:27.427
[SPEAKER_01]: out of nowhere, Rhea, Riptide.

21:27.767 --> 21:33.216
[SPEAKER_01]: We had over the moon saw by EO to aska and the referee says nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

21:33.256 --> 21:46.277
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not the legal person and EO took out Kyrie on the outside with the die, which allowed Rhea to get the one, two, three on aska to become the new

21:47.962 --> 21:49.404
[SPEAKER_00]: really strong match.

21:49.525 --> 21:50.907
[SPEAKER_00]: Good way to start the year.

21:52.289 --> 21:59.541
[SPEAKER_00]: Good way to start the women's tag division, which has been one of the bright spots of Monday Night Raw all year long.

21:59.841 --> 22:02.125
[SPEAKER_00]: And I am curious to see how this goes.

22:02.145 --> 22:06.111
[SPEAKER_00]: They've got some teams lined up for them, Nyan, Lash, Charlene and Alexa.

22:07.213 --> 22:09.297
[SPEAKER_00]: We know the cookie warriors aren't going anywhere.

22:09.377 --> 22:10.138
[SPEAKER_00]: So

22:10.118 --> 22:11.400
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited about this.

22:11.480 --> 22:15.645
[SPEAKER_00]: This has been one of the best parts of WWE consistently all year.

22:15.685 --> 22:26.019
[SPEAKER_00]: EOS sky has been consistently one of the best wrestlers all year and that reaction rear Ripley gets whenever they send her back into the singles division, it's going to be a game change.

22:26.059 --> 22:29.123
[SPEAKER_00]: So I love this great way to start raw.

22:29.103 --> 22:40.959
[SPEAKER_01]: a great, nice way to start the show, championship change, baby faces when the championship Fernando shout out EO and Rio for winning the championships and deservedly.

22:40.979 --> 22:45.285
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm still looking for it to like this multi-person tag team match for the title.

22:45.345 --> 22:57.642
[SPEAKER_01]: Stu will love to see a low TOC action for sit titles down the line as we have a lot of contenders for those titles across

22:57.892 --> 22:58.893
[SPEAKER_01]: internationally.

22:59.294 --> 23:02.657
[SPEAKER_01]: You have access to watch to show in between commercials, right?

23:03.298 --> 23:13.369
[SPEAKER_01]: So Scott, there was a contract signing on Monday night raw, doing a break of one Javan Evans.

23:14.070 --> 23:17.914
[SPEAKER_01]: He is officially a member of the Monday night raw roster.

23:18.555 --> 23:26.143
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been promoted from NXT and it happened doing an

23:26.765 --> 23:30.049
[SPEAKER_00]: So that explains why I didn't see because Triple H couldn't see them.

23:30.069 --> 23:31.490
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why he didn't make it on the show.

23:31.550 --> 23:34.233
[SPEAKER_00]: So okay, that explains that.

23:34.253 --> 23:36.856
[SPEAKER_00]: Because why wouldn't you put that on the show?

23:37.897 --> 23:49.870
[SPEAKER_00]: What reason would you have to not put your, one of your biggest up-and-comers who people are genuinely excited to see on the show, except that you just, you couldn't see them.

23:50.010 --> 23:51.912
[SPEAKER_00]: So I guess I get it.

23:54.119 --> 23:56.081
[SPEAKER_01]: But your place found him backstage.

23:56.101 --> 23:58.785
[SPEAKER_01]: You found him and they took pictures together.

23:58.805 --> 24:00.587
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, you found him.

24:00.627 --> 24:02.309
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, hey, let me pull you aside.

24:02.670 --> 24:06.434
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me take a picture which you took and for them, the in fact I saw you tonight.

24:06.915 --> 24:09.438
[SPEAKER_01]: And you signed your contract to Monday Night Raw.

24:09.718 --> 24:11.781
[SPEAKER_01]: Congratulations, I see you.

24:14.885 --> 24:15.666
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, off camera.

24:16.246 --> 24:16.727
[SPEAKER_00]: Can't see you.

24:16.907 --> 24:19.430
[SPEAKER_00]: Can't see behind the lens, but I see you off camera.

24:19.450 --> 24:19.570
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it?

24:20.311 --> 24:20.852
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,

24:21.862 --> 24:22.323
[SPEAKER_00]: whatever.

24:23.024 --> 24:45.405
[SPEAKER_00]: It would it's a 10 seconds to just bring him out and say, and Adam, instead of Adam Pierce cutting this promo on Gunther and trying a big boy, Raquel Rodriguez, he could have just came out and said the newest Sinie and the Javar get a nice reaction on this big raw that a lot of people are probably tuning into, but no, instead, Adam Pierce got a cut up promo on Gunther.

24:45.385 --> 24:46.106
[SPEAKER_00]: Why?

24:46.487 --> 24:47.188
[SPEAKER_00]: What are we doing?

24:47.869 --> 24:50.193
[SPEAKER_00]: We need to work on our time management.

24:50.674 --> 24:51.194
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what's that.

24:51.235 --> 24:53.017
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what we need to work on for 2026.

24:54.400 --> 25:04.176
[SPEAKER_01]: Time management and the importance of segments that need to be on Netflix for the world to see just not our international peeps out there who I love and appreciate too.

25:04.616 --> 25:11.848
[SPEAKER_01]: Like come on guys, this is a big moment for him and yet it's reduced to a 30 second spot.

25:11.828 --> 25:13.331
[SPEAKER_01]: on Netflix.

25:13.351 --> 25:14.333
[SPEAKER_01]: Y'all tried it.

25:14.874 --> 25:16.177
[SPEAKER_01]: Very, very rude of you guys.

25:16.538 --> 25:21.288
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you're going to leak in on social media and then Triple H post a picture and say surprise.

25:21.328 --> 25:23.011
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to Monday Night Raw.

25:23.352 --> 25:24.053
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks a lot.

25:24.274 --> 25:25.015
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks a lot.

25:25.536 --> 25:26.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks a lot.

25:26.097 --> 25:26.378
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks a lot.

25:29.294 --> 25:34.347
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm with you, Lady B. I'm sure that's going to be the first thing he says on season three of unreal.

25:34.748 --> 25:37.054
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was so excited and he would get on the show.

25:37.475 --> 25:40.462
[SPEAKER_00]: But they got, oh, but got him a nice little promo package.

25:40.482 --> 25:41.786
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, this is crazy.

25:42.507 --> 25:44.172
[SPEAKER_00]: It just doesn't make any sense.

25:44.252 --> 25:46.678
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is not giving me hope for the new year.

25:48.177 --> 25:56.284
[SPEAKER_01]: I want Javan on season three of Unreal to explain the booking of his next season year for the last calendar year.

25:56.784 --> 26:05.492
[SPEAKER_01]: I want Walker H. B. K. to sit there and tell me the steps and the reasoning as to why he never won the NXT Championship.

26:06.072 --> 26:07.293
[SPEAKER_01]: He was never coordinated.

26:07.313 --> 26:11.236
[SPEAKER_01]: You let him go triple H signs him off air.

26:11.257 --> 26:17.762
[SPEAKER_01]: I need a timeline of events to

26:21.134 --> 26:23.959
[SPEAKER_00]: I just need triple H to see an acknowledge him.

26:24.560 --> 26:29.750
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's all I need from triple H. Just acknowledge that man's greatness.

26:29.790 --> 26:33.818
[SPEAKER_00]: He does not need to be the doll of the 2026.

26:35.261 --> 26:40.290
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, he needs to be your, and that's, and listen, there's nothing, like,

26:40.270 --> 26:42.015
[SPEAKER_00]: At that point, there's nothing wrong with that.

26:42.055 --> 26:48.413
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, Dolph did a great job, and he's a great wrestler, but they never saw Dolph for what he could have been, except for someone to get other people over.

26:48.574 --> 26:51.462
[SPEAKER_00]: And I hope that's not what they see jamanas.

26:52.420 --> 26:58.871
[SPEAKER_01]: Javans should be a champion, multiple times over winning mini championships in WWE.

26:59.392 --> 27:17.483
[SPEAKER_01]: He should be the youngest champion in WWE, Blondebreaker talked about how in the world it's been so many years as you had a young, true blue champion in WWE and you have two of them and Javans is what, 21 years old and the opportunity is right there to push him as such.

27:17.463 --> 27:26.894
[SPEAKER_01]: He is mature, he's got a good head on the shoulders, he has Johnson's main main number for guidance and support and sage advice.

27:27.055 --> 27:30.479
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, this isn't opening for you to push someone.

27:30.499 --> 27:36.806
[SPEAKER_01]: And my concern is they'll wait until he's 35 and then they'll give him the world championship.

27:37.267 --> 27:44.736
[SPEAKER_01]: And they'll let him pass his peak in prime as we continue to wait for the push of Montess Ford, which is now four years to late.

27:46.758 --> 27:47.960
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen.

27:48.381 --> 27:54.451
[SPEAKER_00]: What's gonna happen is the same thing that happened with Sword of Strickland, Tony Khan's gonna scoop him up and make him a champion like he did with Sword.

27:54.491 --> 28:00.461
[SPEAKER_00]: Now Sword is a made man, got a whole new swag to him and is believable in any main event that he goes in.

28:01.022 --> 28:03.686
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what Sword should have been in WWE.

28:04.047 --> 28:05.509
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what's gonna end up happening.

28:05.793 --> 28:06.093
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

28:06.193 --> 28:10.038
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully not, but we've seen the writing on the wall before.

28:10.818 --> 28:13.081
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be the indictment of the decade.

28:13.401 --> 28:17.205
[SPEAKER_01]: If he weren't to jump, go to a W and get that push.

28:17.225 --> 28:20.749
[SPEAKER_01]: This work has been getting from Tony Khan for the last two years.

28:21.290 --> 28:25.534
[SPEAKER_01]: And that would say everything there is to be said about the village and what he's not doing.

28:25.955 --> 28:31.581
[SPEAKER_01]: And how we used to call out Tony for the same thing, but look what he's done.

28:31.561 --> 28:50.543
[SPEAKER_01]: He's made black champions stand out, have long reigns, get books strongly, have swag to them, and triple eight, you have a plethora of brothers to choose from, to push that can be WrestleMania main eventers tomorrow.

28:50.583 --> 28:52.105
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you going to play around?

28:52.125 --> 28:54.648
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you going to put your thumbs and say, I'm not this year.

28:54.928 --> 28:56.110
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to try again next year.

28:56.290 --> 29:00.555
[SPEAKER_01]: Like now is the time to do what

29:01.750 --> 29:03.652
[SPEAKER_00]: brothers and sisters shout out the willow.

29:04.133 --> 29:07.076
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and sisters, thank you for saying that as well.

29:07.517 --> 29:11.001
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, come on, we need that to translate over to WWE.

29:11.061 --> 29:11.862
[SPEAKER_01]: It can be done.

29:12.203 --> 29:14.405
[SPEAKER_01]: It's got to get out your own way and actually do it.

29:14.886 --> 29:30.745
[SPEAKER_01]: And later, be set like Montes in that chamber, match feels like 10 years ago when it was only three years ago, and they have done nothing in three years to capitalize on that man being over as he was and they have done squat.

29:30.725 --> 29:34.378
[SPEAKER_01]: He'll be 45 and he'll get his championship run, Litty B.

29:34.619 --> 29:35.201
[SPEAKER_01]: He'll be 45.

29:35.602 --> 29:40.279
[SPEAKER_01]: He'll be Bobby Lashley's age when he gets a dub and a strap.

29:42.875 --> 29:52.129
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm, I'm, I'm giving a shot because there is Oberfimi and I can say Ober, Ober should and probably will be champion 2026.

29:52.289 --> 30:01.864
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm, I'm, I'm a gift him, I'm going to give church a little, a little grace because Ober got at least Ober was on the show at least what he was on the US version of the show.

30:01.884 --> 30:03.547
[SPEAKER_00]: He got a nice little video package.

30:03.587 --> 30:06.351
[SPEAKER_00]: So at least he was on the show.

30:06.331 --> 30:08.896
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just so big you can't miss them.

30:08.916 --> 30:10.960
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's probably one of the reasons Triple H saw him.

30:11.421 --> 30:15.389
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's, I'm going to give him a little grace in a couple months and see how we look in.

30:16.712 --> 30:17.633
[SPEAKER_01]: We will reassess.

30:18.094 --> 30:23.465
[SPEAKER_01]: And then as Fernando says, Giovanna, no, but she'd be growing up again by the end of 2026, we shall see.

30:23.485 --> 30:27.613
[SPEAKER_01]: I will predict, I will go as far as to say.

30:27.847 --> 30:30.393
[SPEAKER_01]: one of them will be championed by the end of this year.

30:31.094 --> 30:31.576
[SPEAKER_01]: One of them.

30:32.197 --> 30:34.743
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to lean more towards Obo than Javan.

30:35.043 --> 30:38.531
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Javan were when a secondary championship in 2026.

30:39.213 --> 30:45.788
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think Obo has a shot to win one of the big gold belts on either raw or smack down to close out the year.

30:47.033 --> 30:51.299
[SPEAKER_00]: And listen, if Javan wins the IC or US title, that is okay.

30:51.440 --> 30:53.262
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I have, he is only 21.

30:53.703 --> 30:59.151
[SPEAKER_00]: So I have no problem with him winning one of those belts and getting a nice run with that, that is fine.

30:59.171 --> 31:04.279
[SPEAKER_00]: We still have, there is a ton of young superstars on the roster, like Dominic Braun.

31:04.299 --> 31:08.325
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there is a lot of people that they still can have a young champion with.

31:08.345 --> 31:11.710
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm okay with Javan winning the IC or US title.

31:11.730 --> 31:16.197
[SPEAKER_00]: That's fine, because he's got a couple of years

31:16.177 --> 31:25.753
[SPEAKER_00]: Oberthimmies, but like you mentioned, and like Fernando talks about, we've talked about this from the show for months at this point, Ober's a guy that you can make champion at any point that's believable.

31:25.973 --> 31:32.484
[SPEAKER_00]: That match with Cody Roe should have opened everyone's eyes because when he walked out, he walked out like a man among amongst men.

31:32.944 --> 31:35.749
[SPEAKER_00]: He was, he was a monster among men, Braun Strowman's gone.

31:35.789 --> 31:36.851
[SPEAKER_00]: He can have that title now.

31:37.452 --> 31:40.176
[SPEAKER_00]: Ober's that guy and should be presented as such.

31:40.342 --> 31:56.945
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and one of their lost feuds, the hurt business in the blood line should have had a memorable feud years ago, and yet they did not, that was a more, that's a Voldemort, that's unredacted from not doing what he needed to do.

31:57.786 --> 32:09.522
[SPEAKER_01]: Seriously, open opportunity could have been a great feud, could have got the her business more over as baby faces just didn't do it for whatever reason, and we know what the reason

32:09.890 --> 32:25.080
[SPEAKER_01]: But let's move on to our next segment, which was Becky Lynch versus Maxine DuPrin for the women's Intercontinental Championship, and this match was all right.

32:26.005 --> 32:26.827
[SPEAKER_01]: it was all right.

32:27.488 --> 32:37.349
[SPEAKER_01]: I like Maxine, but I can tell that she's thinking so much about which spot is next, that there's not a real flow to anything.

32:37.389 --> 32:44.284
[SPEAKER_01]: And Becky is perfectly fine as always, but it is felt like their prior matches had a bit more

32:44.264 --> 32:47.467
[SPEAKER_01]: he sauce intensity to it that I can get into.

32:47.507 --> 32:50.050
[SPEAKER_01]: And this match was just kind of there.

32:50.451 --> 32:52.313
[SPEAKER_01]: There were moments that stood out.

32:52.393 --> 32:53.874
[SPEAKER_01]: Other moments not so much.

32:53.894 --> 33:01.523
[SPEAKER_01]: History was Maxine picking the leg of Becky Lynch trying to lock in the ankle lock and Becky fighting not to tap out.

33:01.583 --> 33:07.249
[SPEAKER_01]: And eventually she got a leverage pen by grabbing the ropes after Maxine went for the lock again.

33:07.289 --> 33:12.094
[SPEAKER_01]: And now we have a new champ in Becky Lynch two time.

33:12.074 --> 33:16.140
[SPEAKER_01]: I see champion as Maxine Dupree looked on in shock.

33:18.963 --> 33:20.065
[SPEAKER_00]: The match wasn't that great.

33:20.125 --> 33:21.026
[SPEAKER_00]: Love the finish though.

33:21.046 --> 33:26.053
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that was a nice veteran move to take advantage of a newcomer.

33:26.093 --> 33:27.715
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that worked really well.

33:29.037 --> 33:39.972
[SPEAKER_00]: The a hail Maxine Dupree is not like I think if they were in, if they were roles were reversed, I think the a hail would be in a much better spot and would have pulled this off a lot better.

33:39.952 --> 33:46.539
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but Becky Lynch did the best she could, I think it was the right call to have her back as I see champion.

33:46.999 --> 33:49.522
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she can do a lot more with that belt in the new year.

33:50.283 --> 33:55.208
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe this is what brings Nadi back, you know, brings her to the main roster.

33:55.248 --> 33:59.252
[SPEAKER_00]: This could be a great way to to bring her into the full with that new persona.

33:59.272 --> 34:03.597
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see what happens, but I think this kind of.

34:03.577 --> 34:14.455
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate to say exposed because she's gotten over, but I do think this kind of expose that Maxine's probably not quite as ready as some other would have been in the same spot.

34:15.637 --> 34:23.650
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I thought of when watching Maxine during this match, who could have been highlighted in a better way.

34:23.690 --> 34:25.213
[SPEAKER_01]: Kendra Gray.

34:27.826 --> 34:30.770
[SPEAKER_00]: Can the gray would have, I can go gray.

34:31.351 --> 34:31.972
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh.

34:32.192 --> 34:33.955
[SPEAKER_00]: She would have had a great match with Becky Lynch.

34:33.975 --> 34:37.961
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Becky Lynch would have wanted to go out of her way to make her look incredible.

34:38.081 --> 34:39.323
[SPEAKER_00]: Even in a loss, I think.

34:40.224 --> 34:41.606
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I'm with you on that.

34:41.766 --> 34:44.130
[SPEAKER_00]: Kendall Gray is going to be up next.

34:44.490 --> 34:56.668
[SPEAKER_00]: Like she's going to be the real deal whenever they call she's somebody that you throw to the wolves because she's going to come out with the scratches with the bruises, but she's going to walk out

34:57.104 --> 34:57.865
[SPEAKER_01]: absolutely.

34:57.985 --> 35:03.534
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that Maxine just needs reps on the road.

35:03.854 --> 35:13.709
[SPEAKER_01]: If they had how shows regularly, she could get those reps in because you can only do so much in a confined environment at the dungeon at the PC.

35:14.089 --> 35:22.842
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you can train and you can run the ropes and you can learn moves and submissions and you can take bumps and you can run the ropes and you can do all the basics.

35:22.822 --> 35:32.218
[SPEAKER_01]: but to put all of that together in a complete match, that takes reps, that takes time, that takes chemistry with different people over and over and over again.

35:32.618 --> 35:42.535
[SPEAKER_01]: And yes, WWE's growth schedule is very limiting, and you can't do that the way we used to fire a 10 years ago, but when you see other people,

35:42.515 --> 36:00.574
[SPEAKER_01]: grow and evolve in WWE from the PC like so Ruka, like a low-level vice for example, they've gotten better and it's not just because it's the PC they're on the road a lot to more often to get those reps in.

36:00.554 --> 36:04.299
[SPEAKER_01]: Lowell is working triple A more often so is working on the road.

36:04.319 --> 36:12.591
[SPEAKER_01]: You see the improvement for people that were just in the system two or three years ago and you see them training goes off doing way more.

36:12.631 --> 36:13.652
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's possible.

36:13.672 --> 36:26.730
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think that maybe Maxine just needs those reps on the road with that crew on the weekends when they're doing that circuit down south in January and February

36:27.993 --> 36:29.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and honestly, I don't think it's good.

36:29.658 --> 36:32.546
[SPEAKER_00]: It would hurt anything from vaccine to go down to NXT.

36:32.566 --> 36:34.952
[SPEAKER_00]: And like I don't, I don't think it hurts her reputation.

36:34.972 --> 36:36.496
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it would hurt her being over.

36:36.857 --> 36:39.745
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the NXT crowd would embrace her.

36:40.187 --> 36:43.977
[SPEAKER_00]: And like you said, it would give her the reps that her work with different people.

36:43.957 --> 36:45.281
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that was the other thing.

36:45.301 --> 36:47.447
[SPEAKER_00]: She's only worked with Becky Lynch and Ivy Nile.

36:47.527 --> 36:49.392
[SPEAKER_00]: Like those are really the owners who she worked with.

36:49.713 --> 36:59.080
[SPEAKER_00]: And I kind of agree with Fernando, the story of her as his underdog champion, who got better to the level of beating a legend like Becky Lynch,

36:59.060 --> 37:00.121
[SPEAKER_00]: was kind of rushed.

37:00.141 --> 37:04.046
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't told as a full book as much as it was told as a short story.

37:04.206 --> 37:09.612
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we should have had a few more weeks if her getting wins over some established people before getting that Becky Lynch.

37:09.632 --> 37:14.457
[SPEAKER_00]: And then after she beats Becky Lynch, show her winning with decisively with some confidence.

37:14.477 --> 37:18.542
[SPEAKER_00]: We got the Ivy Nile when I thought that would have been a good start, but nothing came from that.

37:18.582 --> 37:27.632
[SPEAKER_00]: All we got were two promo segments instead of getting two more matches to kind of show her getting more confidence, building more confidence,

37:27.612 --> 37:29.556
[SPEAKER_00]: But we never got any of those stories.

37:29.957 --> 37:33.664
[SPEAKER_00]: So, and I think the crowd reaction also kind of told that as well.

37:34.987 --> 37:38.554
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, it's nothing that Maxine can't recover from.

37:38.754 --> 37:40.839
[SPEAKER_00]: She got over once, she can get over again.

37:40.879 --> 37:46.009
[SPEAKER_00]: And like we've talked about on this show, Becky Lynch is one of the best

37:45.989 --> 37:48.255
[SPEAKER_00]: Rusters period at getting someone over.

37:48.336 --> 38:01.433
[SPEAKER_00]: So whoever comes next where that I see title, she's going to make sure that they look good and they get over the real test like with Lyra for Maxine now is what do you do when you're out of the Becky Lynch bubble?

38:01.413 --> 38:03.155
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you stand on your own to feet?

38:03.495 --> 38:06.498
[SPEAKER_01]: Would you guess of the out of it to be a star on your own?

38:06.638 --> 38:09.000
[SPEAKER_01]: Because we know the answer to some questions.

38:09.620 --> 38:11.282
[SPEAKER_01]: Ask live, ask Bianca.

38:11.702 --> 38:14.465
[SPEAKER_01]: We've sailed from the Becky experience.

38:14.585 --> 38:21.191
[SPEAKER_01]: Rea too, like we have elevated ourselves by working with Becky and we are top to your level stars now.

38:21.311 --> 38:22.172
[SPEAKER_01]: That's me.

38:22.612 --> 38:24.674
[SPEAKER_01]: Some seeing vision.

38:25.034 --> 38:26.656
[SPEAKER_01]: What Becky can do for others.

38:26.976 --> 38:31.420
[SPEAKER_01]: But when you're out there on your own, when it's all said and done,

38:31.400 --> 38:32.862
[SPEAKER_01]: Now Maxine can talk.

38:32.902 --> 38:33.823
[SPEAKER_01]: She has charisma.

38:34.083 --> 38:39.009
[SPEAKER_01]: She has something, but the in-ring stuff's got to get a little bit tying up for me.

38:39.530 --> 38:40.311
[SPEAKER_01]: Hi Maria.

38:40.471 --> 38:42.613
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome into our new night and time.

38:43.014 --> 38:44.095
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to the party.

38:44.456 --> 38:49.702
[SPEAKER_01]: And Maria says Becky was the right decision, but eventually she needs to get back to the main event picture.

38:50.062 --> 38:50.563
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.

38:50.863 --> 38:58.352
[SPEAKER_01]: She's a great gatekeeper, but this goes for the tag team division and the secondary division for the

38:58.332 --> 39:05.457
[SPEAKER_01]: We need some of y'all to move on up to show some love to the main women's championships because that

39:06.061 --> 39:10.627
[SPEAKER_01]: division for both on SmackDown is so thin right now.

39:11.027 --> 39:24.164
[SPEAKER_01]: We got people injured on SmackDown and then poor Stephanie, she is feuding with Raquel still and then Ivy Nile and and correct me if I'm wrong sky and I love me smiley.

39:24.805 --> 39:29.911
[SPEAKER_01]: But did she not lose to Maxine a few weeks ago?

39:30.532 --> 39:32.254
[SPEAKER_01]: Clean

39:35.356 --> 39:37.959
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, um, new hair, new hair, don't care.

39:38.039 --> 39:44.408
[SPEAKER_00]: Ivy, um, you know, look, I'm just saying, you're like, you don't get just to come with a new dude and be like, you know, can I get enough shot?

39:44.468 --> 39:45.289
[SPEAKER_00]: It don't work like that.

39:45.309 --> 39:48.113
[SPEAKER_00]: You, you got to be pretty pretty pretty decisively.

39:48.573 --> 39:51.317
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so you do got to go to the back of the line.

39:51.938 --> 39:54.481
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's no reason to have you versus Becky Lynch.

39:54.501 --> 39:55.322
[SPEAKER_00]: So,

39:55.302 --> 39:59.448
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I, you know, I don't know what they do with that midcard.

39:59.549 --> 40:05.918
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's, you could go back to Lyra and Bailey, which is fine, but I, I'm kind of with Maria.

40:06.019 --> 40:13.610
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope, but I hope this is kind of just a short term thing to get it to whoever they want to kind of run that midcard.

40:13.931 --> 40:21.803
[SPEAKER_00]: So Becky, then she can't get back to that top division because there's a lot of potential when you really look at the women, but they, they're stacking their tag division.

40:22.063 --> 40:23.065
[SPEAKER_00]: And so

40:23.045 --> 40:30.235
[SPEAKER_00]: In NXT, I need to have some call-ups and really establish that mid-car, so Becky Lynch can at least have some people to work with.

40:31.036 --> 40:34.020
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely, and Lady B is asking an important question.

40:34.700 --> 40:37.264
[SPEAKER_01]: AJ versus Becky at WrestleMania.

40:37.384 --> 40:38.566
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that the goal?

40:38.586 --> 40:44.694
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm good.

40:45.234 --> 40:50.942
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Russell Palooza did what I needed out of it and, you know, the war games.

40:51.057 --> 40:54.182
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good, but if that is the goal, I'm sure it'll be fine.

40:54.222 --> 40:55.824
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't need to be for the IC title.

40:55.844 --> 41:01.874
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't need to see AJ Lee with the IC belt, but if that's the goal, fine, but I personally rather not.

41:01.934 --> 41:07.242
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a nice royal rumble match, nice elimination chamber match, but I'm good on that at WrestleMania.

41:08.163 --> 41:13.892
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it can't be a rumble match because most likely AJ will be in the rumble.

41:14.193 --> 41:15.216
[SPEAKER_01]: and her cat suit.

41:15.737 --> 41:17.201
[SPEAKER_01]: 30 cat suits for the rumble.

41:17.221 --> 41:18.485
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to get ready for that.

41:18.886 --> 41:23.238
[SPEAKER_01]: And a few weeks time, or a job is going to have a time, so on together, 30 cat suits.

41:23.559 --> 41:24.160
[SPEAKER_01]: They're really there.

41:24.561 --> 41:28.793
[SPEAKER_01]: So you'll be where she will have for Chuck Taylor's own on top of a cat suit.

41:29.414 --> 41:32.478
[SPEAKER_00]: real quick is she going to have the shorts over top of the cat suit as well.

41:32.919 --> 41:34.962
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, absolutely to completely aesthetic.

41:35.102 --> 41:35.623
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

41:35.663 --> 41:36.904
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to go all the way.

41:37.385 --> 41:39.908
[SPEAKER_01]: So she will be at the rumble in the rumble.

41:40.289 --> 41:43.353
[SPEAKER_01]: Becky, I expect her to be in the rumble to elimination chamber.

41:43.393 --> 41:45.756
[SPEAKER_01]: Depends on who wins the rumble.

41:45.796 --> 41:51.204
[SPEAKER_01]: The losers will have a shot in that chamber for a championship shot at WrestleMania.

41:51.304 --> 41:52.806
[SPEAKER_01]: It will be in Chicago.

41:52.786 --> 41:54.088
[SPEAKER_01]: at the United Center.

41:54.529 --> 41:57.013
[SPEAKER_01]: I could see AJ in that mix as well.

41:57.434 --> 42:00.960
[SPEAKER_01]: Becky could cost her in that would lead to the WrestleMania match.

42:01.080 --> 42:03.123
[SPEAKER_01]: As you said, it does not have to be for a championship.

42:03.524 --> 42:05.367
[SPEAKER_01]: It could just be a grudge match one on one.

42:05.407 --> 42:07.050
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it will be very good.

42:07.130 --> 42:13.140
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that the closer we get to WrestleMania season, AJ will work more dates for WWE for sure.

42:14.268 --> 42:18.680
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, probably true, I could, I could definitely see that happen at the elimination chamber.

42:18.700 --> 42:21.247
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a nice one on one match with the Chicago crowd.

42:22.791 --> 42:24.295
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that'd be fine.

42:24.477 --> 42:29.663
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, elsewhere on Monday and I raw, it was late his night, so to speak.

42:29.723 --> 42:30.965
[SPEAKER_01]: So Stephanie Vakayah comes out.

42:31.285 --> 42:33.648
[SPEAKER_01]: She has a boot on her foot, unfortunately.

42:33.688 --> 42:38.214
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, it's probably here, a worked injury, or it's a real injury.

42:38.254 --> 42:45.783
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, Jess yet, but she came out there a little lumpy, a little hurt from her match against Nikki Bala and Rakel Rodriguez.

42:45.803 --> 42:49.067
[SPEAKER_01]: From last week's trip with Red Match for the Women's Championship.

42:49.047 --> 42:51.891
[SPEAKER_01]: But she says no injury is going to keep me down.

42:51.971 --> 42:53.113
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a fighting champion.

42:53.413 --> 42:57.980
[SPEAKER_01]: I've had a wonderful 2025 first four-time champ in WWE.

42:58.321 --> 43:06.253
[SPEAKER_01]: I've done it all and I'm not afraid to face whose next, but then she gets jumped by Raquel and Raquel is a graph to that injured ankle with the boot on it.

43:06.673 --> 43:08.055
[SPEAKER_01]: And she whoops ass.

43:08.175 --> 43:09.958
[SPEAKER_01]: She takes out.

43:10.073 --> 43:15.683
[SPEAKER_01]: Stephanie with the Tahana bomb goes backstage, peace of Stephanie some more.

43:16.164 --> 43:18.108
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's leading to something.

43:18.128 --> 43:23.958
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm guessing Saturday night's main event.

43:24.780 --> 43:27.785
[SPEAKER_01]: Montreal Quebec right before the rumble.

43:30.811 --> 43:32.554
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I am.

43:33.884 --> 43:36.009
[SPEAKER_00]: Raquel went in the title would be interesting.

43:36.049 --> 43:36.830
[SPEAKER_00]: She's put in the work.

43:36.850 --> 43:37.772
[SPEAKER_00]: He's had a great year.

43:37.852 --> 43:38.374
[SPEAKER_00]: You had her.

43:38.875 --> 43:41.881
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you're most improved wrestlers of 2025.

43:41.901 --> 43:50.880
[SPEAKER_00]: Her winning that title would throw a nice monkey wrench in the the live judgment day story and that could be how they turn on

43:50.860 --> 43:54.905
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this injury is just an excuse to get live back that title.

43:54.925 --> 43:56.648
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she's the one who needs that title.

43:57.128 --> 44:04.378
[SPEAKER_00]: Really re-established control and have Raquel kind of be the dissension in her and Roxanne eventually turn on her.

44:04.678 --> 44:09.684
[SPEAKER_00]: But this injury is definitely a way to give an out for Stephanie to lose.

44:09.724 --> 44:15.552
[SPEAKER_00]: Do whoever is going to be whether it is Raquel, whether it is live, or if Roxanne just sneaks in there.

44:15.886 --> 44:21.336
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, this would be a perfect time to do a fatal four way with those three and Stephanie because then it's like, what what do you do now?

44:21.596 --> 44:22.438
[SPEAKER_00]: Who do you go with?

44:22.778 --> 44:23.820
[SPEAKER_00]: How do they work together?

44:23.880 --> 44:27.406
[SPEAKER_00]: How do they end up in how do they get out of this match still as a unit?

44:28.669 --> 44:40.189
[SPEAKER_00]: So you do have some options, but Raquel is definitely on a path and her being champion would be a nice change of pace and I think it would open up some things for live to maybe eventually turn back babyface.

44:40.523 --> 44:41.404
[SPEAKER_01]: It would be different.

44:41.424 --> 44:46.388
[SPEAKER_01]: And we know that live is given side eye to Raquel more and more about her championship quest.

44:46.849 --> 44:49.091
[SPEAKER_01]: Going after Stephanie that would not make her happy.

44:49.131 --> 44:53.955
[SPEAKER_01]: Notable that Raquel was not out there for the match between live and Laira.

44:54.015 --> 44:59.200
[SPEAKER_01]: She was already kicked out by scrap daddy Adam Pierce because she jumped on Raquel back.

44:59.420 --> 45:01.061
[SPEAKER_01]: She jumped on Stephanie backstage.

45:01.502 --> 45:10.530
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's definitely leading to a championship match when and where is to be determined, which leads to live Morgan versus Laira Vakiria

45:10.510 --> 45:13.155
[SPEAKER_01]: For the time they were given, I enjoy the match.

45:13.315 --> 45:15.318
[SPEAKER_01]: I know they can do way more with more time.

45:15.639 --> 45:17.021
[SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, a hotter crowd.

45:17.062 --> 45:22.110
[SPEAKER_01]: The Brooklyn crowd tonight outside of the main event and the opening segment and the eating of it all.

45:22.591 --> 45:24.635
[SPEAKER_01]: This was a dry Brooklyn crowd.

45:24.695 --> 45:28.802
[SPEAKER_01]: And historically, Brooklyn's up their live, their excited.

45:28.822 --> 45:30.966
[SPEAKER_01]: They were just kind of there.

45:31.520 --> 45:54.473
[SPEAKER_01]: Tonight, I didn't sense like they thought this was a major show, and in some ways WWE hyped it as the first anniversary of Monday Night Raw in Netflix, a stranger thing's night, but it didn't feel like this massive all-time important show that we had to tune in for a

45:54.453 --> 45:56.756
[SPEAKER_01]: was great in a vacuum for what it was.

45:56.816 --> 45:59.278
[SPEAKER_01]: Live looked great in her return match.

45:59.338 --> 46:04.264
[SPEAKER_01]: First time back in the ring in seven months, they worked this on the road over the holidays.

46:04.484 --> 46:07.347
[SPEAKER_01]: So it looked good and Lira was selling throughout.

46:07.447 --> 46:11.672
[SPEAKER_01]: So the finisher of living in beautifully, for live has lived got the WN.

46:11.732 --> 46:14.395
[SPEAKER_01]: As you already know, live fit.

46:14.895 --> 46:16.537
[SPEAKER_01]: Shuttle biscuits all day.

46:16.918 --> 46:17.338
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

46:18.955 --> 46:38.196
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is more telling of what happens when you leave the Becky Lynch vacuum when it comes to the Lyra Man, like they've tried to put it with Bailey and that's only worked so much And you compared it to last year's Netflix and if you think about what they had on last year's Netflix special when they first came on you had the rock

46:38.699 --> 46:44.887
[SPEAKER_00]: whether it was corporate rock, WWE rock, final boss, whatever version of the rock, it was still the rock.

46:45.388 --> 46:52.597
[SPEAKER_00]: You had Roman Reigns versus Solosicoa, which was built up, Roman had a grand entrance, and then you had Seth Rollins versus C.M.

46:52.637 --> 46:52.897
[SPEAKER_00]: Punk.

46:53.859 --> 46:59.546
[SPEAKER_00]: You had, and not to mention, in the middle of all that, you had re-ear Ripley winning the WWE Women's title.

46:59.766 --> 47:05.854
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, when you compare the two, and I thought tonight's show was actually pretty good, but when you compare the two,

47:06.155 --> 47:08.466
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's it's it's night and it's upside down.

47:08.687 --> 47:12.124
[SPEAKER_00]: It's definitely the upside down version of what we got last year.

47:12.164 --> 47:12.908
[SPEAKER_00]: So.

47:13.462 --> 47:16.925
[SPEAKER_00]: I get the Brooklyn crowd being quiet.

47:16.965 --> 47:20.829
[SPEAKER_00]: They have no reason to be excited about a lie reverses live Morgan match.

47:21.490 --> 47:26.715
[SPEAKER_00]: I guarantee if it would have been balian there instead of Laira, that reaction would have been very different.

47:26.975 --> 47:29.057
[SPEAKER_00]: And there would have been more into the match.

47:29.918 --> 47:32.080
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just the lie of a thing right now.

47:32.100 --> 47:33.962
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, and I think Laira was a really good wrestler.

47:33.982 --> 47:35.023
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she's worked hard.

47:35.043 --> 47:38.227
[SPEAKER_00]: She did a real good job when they first brought her up and established her.

47:39.087 --> 47:41.730
[SPEAKER_00]: But once she left that Becky vacuum,

47:42.217 --> 47:45.604
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like now what, where what do you do now?

47:45.884 --> 47:51.976
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is the biggest thing and that kind of separates the top people from everyone else.

47:52.297 --> 48:02.858
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you mentioned, Ria Bianca, these people who have been in the Becky vacuum and came out on the other side bigger and better stars, stars.

48:03.074 --> 48:03.655
[SPEAKER_00]: has shown.

48:04.156 --> 48:06.379
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just think that's what this is.

48:06.779 --> 48:11.567
[SPEAKER_00]: If that would have been Bailey and there instead of Lyra, we're looking at a whole different reaction for that match.

48:11.727 --> 48:13.249
[SPEAKER_00]: And like you said, the match was pretty good.

48:13.489 --> 48:14.251
[SPEAKER_00]: Good move set.

48:14.591 --> 48:23.144
[SPEAKER_00]: Great counter by Lyra for the oblivion and earlier in the match, where she countered it into a German, like they had some nice moves in there, but they just didn't care.

48:23.164 --> 48:30.735
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that is more or more so an indictment of the booking of Lyra since she's left the Becky vacuum.

48:31.036 --> 48:44.924
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I think that Becky vacuum culminated at summer slam last year and for season two of WWE unreal, we're going to get some very real moments because that match was absolutely cropped on by the fans and met life.

48:45.125 --> 48:52.740
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think the matches are bad, but I think it was a match that deeply affected both of them because you can see them crying backstage.

48:52.720 --> 48:55.864
[SPEAKER_01]: They were not happy about how that mattress received.

48:55.884 --> 48:59.309
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't think Lyra has been the same ever since.

48:59.329 --> 49:06.598
[SPEAKER_01]: And you have to take into account that moment and how you can grow from it and how you can go beyond it.

49:07.179 --> 49:08.601
[SPEAKER_01]: And she's very talented.

49:09.302 --> 49:13.066
[SPEAKER_01]: And I believe she can be a star in WWE.

49:13.347 --> 49:14.588
[SPEAKER_01]: We've seen glitters of it.

49:14.608 --> 49:16.551
[SPEAKER_01]: She was the workhorse.

49:16.531 --> 49:21.457
[SPEAKER_01]: on that show as the first icy champion leading into WrestleMania.

49:21.497 --> 49:33.650
[SPEAKER_01]: She was one of the best workers on that brand, but now you have to kind of figure out what's the next steps in terms of care to work, what can I do to get over besides being the level of a bird lady?

49:33.670 --> 49:34.892
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they love the bird lady.

49:35.192 --> 49:38.556
[SPEAKER_01]: They do the little chain and the woo and the all when you come out there.

49:38.536 --> 49:44.584
[SPEAKER_01]: But beyond that, what is that extra sauce that's going to get you over as next level?

49:44.945 --> 49:57.422
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's going to be the test because she's been around Becky dating back to NXT a couple years ago and now what's that next step to complete the evolution of your character and as yourself as a complete worker?

49:58.853 --> 49:59.214
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

49:59.234 --> 50:00.937
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think she'll find it this year.

50:00.957 --> 50:18.769
[SPEAKER_00]: I think whenever she turns on Bailey or Bailey turns on her, um, that could be what gives her that a little extra edge that she needs, but she just needs something else to really sink her teeth into because as of right now, I mean, that tag team as as itself is just kind of spinning its wheels and it's just kind of there.

50:19.491 --> 50:21.334
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, agreed for sure.

50:21.500 --> 50:23.384
[SPEAKER_01]: and let's get to the main event.

50:24.125 --> 50:33.064
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a ladies heavy shell which I enjoyed, but let's get to the main event of the evening, which was for the world heavyweight championship.

50:33.625 --> 50:40.960
[SPEAKER_01]: It was the champion

50:40.940 --> 50:42.782
[SPEAKER_01]: was pretty at times.

50:43.402 --> 50:47.507
[SPEAKER_01]: It was ugly at times, but I wasn't bored by the match.

50:47.967 --> 50:53.873
[SPEAKER_01]: We have some overbookedness going on with the vision coming out there down the stretch, causing distractions.

50:54.213 --> 51:00.440
[SPEAKER_01]: We had a rough bump with some near falls that did get the crowd up and going, thinking that a title change could be possible.

51:00.820 --> 51:07.647
[SPEAKER_01]: Then we had our baby faces come through in the form of dragon Lee, Ray Mysterio, and Pinta Clean House on the vision.

51:08.027 --> 51:10.930
[SPEAKER_01]: Love that trio as a team,

51:10.910 --> 51:15.034
[SPEAKER_01]: quickly, sadly, the AJ and drag and lead tag team is over.

51:15.054 --> 51:17.896
[SPEAKER_01]: They went their separate ways pretty quickly, which is okay.

51:18.397 --> 51:22.540
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's down to punk and breaker, one on one.

51:22.581 --> 51:30.808
[SPEAKER_01]: And we got some good near falls, some counter wrestling, some submission holds, on bar, her buy, bond breaker.

51:30.868 --> 51:32.129
[SPEAKER_01]: That took me by surprise.

51:32.169 --> 51:40.917
[SPEAKER_01]: We had CM Punk locking the STF better than Johnson and it ever could, except last year's elimination chamber

51:40.897 --> 51:47.830
[SPEAKER_01]: tap out to the very same submission hold, Paul Hamigas involved and see him punk lays out Paul Hamin.

51:48.311 --> 51:51.758
[SPEAKER_01]: And then when he was going for a dive, I don't know what happened.

51:52.259 --> 51:55.625
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess he tripped himself between the ropes and he just fell flat.

51:56.427 --> 52:02.719
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was not the first bad bump because

52:02.986 --> 52:07.993
[SPEAKER_01]: slipped, landed on his head like a lot of Jesus, but he recovered did a take to you.

52:08.434 --> 52:25.439
[SPEAKER_01]: And then bronze jumped off the top rope, landed a splash on punk through the announced table that did not take out punk, kind of the spirit, the knee strike and then ultimately hit the GTS for the dub to retain the championship and all that talk that bronze breaker did.

52:26.821 --> 52:31.828
[SPEAKER_01]: What good was it when you were looking

52:35.285 --> 52:37.149
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I enjoyed the match.

52:37.189 --> 52:38.031
[SPEAKER_00]: It was pretty good.

52:38.052 --> 52:45.289
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the, you know, we knew the vision was coming out, but I thought the master vendors coming out and even in the odds was a nice touch.

52:45.850 --> 52:50.982
[SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed those three, I think that's a nice trio right there nice counter for them.

52:50.962 --> 52:54.466
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, the splash through the table really good spot.

52:54.786 --> 52:58.350
[SPEAKER_00]: I, you know, Brahms about to do it from the apron, then he looked at the top rope.

52:58.730 --> 53:00.151
[SPEAKER_00]: Got great hang time on that.

53:00.191 --> 53:06.037
[SPEAKER_00]: The suicide dive was exactly what it was called because that shouldn't happen again.

53:06.057 --> 53:12.664
[SPEAKER_00]: The pow driver, I don't know if his knees buckle before that, but it was ugly in a good way kind of.

53:12.744 --> 53:18.370
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it wasn't, it wasn't like besides the, the brawn slip on the, on the brawn

53:18.704 --> 53:25.632
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything else kind of worked in this ugly way where it was just this ugly match where they were just trying to finish each other off whatever they could.

53:26.012 --> 53:27.975
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the fact that spear was protected.

53:28.776 --> 53:33.881
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't have him kicking out of that, Brian got the kick out of the GTS and the power driver.

53:33.901 --> 53:43.092
[SPEAKER_00]: So at least,

53:43.240 --> 53:43.861
[SPEAKER_00]: good match.

53:44.844 --> 53:58.313
[SPEAKER_00]: A little underwhelming anti-clamatic as far as, you know, I was expecting either a Bronwyn or a break the walls down or something to happen, but outside of that it was a good match and a good way to cap off the show.

53:58.732 --> 54:08.787
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree, it was a little underwhelming towards the end because I think some people thought that somebody was going to break the walls down and bring out Judas maybe, but that did not happen.

54:08.867 --> 54:14.576
[SPEAKER_01]: That would most likely be saved for the Royal Rumble if I had to guess not from Monday night raw.

54:15.216 --> 54:17.019
[SPEAKER_01]: And the finish was the finish.

54:17.059 --> 54:26.393
[SPEAKER_01]: It was good for what it was, but it was a little underwhelming because I think some people thought it title change was possible with Braun Breaker being coordinated as champion.

54:26.373 --> 54:36.688
[SPEAKER_01]: Not as time yet apparently, WWE has a set time table for things, and tonight wasn't that night, but overall I thought the match is pretty good for what it was.

54:36.728 --> 54:37.489
[SPEAKER_01]: It was beautiful.

54:37.569 --> 54:54.793
[SPEAKER_01]: It was ugly and spots too, but it was a mess in a good way overall, and that power driver was the ugliest

54:55.870 --> 54:58.353
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, definitely wasn't the one he put, he had on Cena.

54:58.793 --> 55:00.755
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man, Rob, before some minute.

55:00.775 --> 55:06.742
[SPEAKER_00]: That wasn't that word, but I will take the safety over and crushing bronze in that.

55:06.762 --> 55:07.443
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's fine.

55:07.503 --> 55:11.026
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, the match was fine for what it was.

55:11.327 --> 55:12.728
[SPEAKER_00]: Good way to cap off the show.

55:13.329 --> 55:18.895
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't the epic that they, I thought they did a good job of building it up throughout the show, but it wasn't the epic that they'd build it up to be.

55:18.935 --> 55:25.422
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think they might be saving that for later on down the road, whenever bronze does get that coordination.

55:25.402 --> 55:26.044
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.

55:26.204 --> 55:26.705
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.

55:26.725 --> 55:27.948
[SPEAKER_01]: It's better safe than sorry.

55:28.429 --> 55:29.813
[SPEAKER_01]: When it comes to hitting powder.

55:29.833 --> 55:31.096
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like that for sure.

55:31.537 --> 55:32.298
[SPEAKER_01]: Glad that bronze.

55:32.319 --> 55:34.083
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, but bronze particular neck.

55:34.103 --> 55:42.583
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, because you have tried it for the last month or so landing very awkwardly on your head and neck and one of these days.

55:42.563 --> 55:48.773
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to come back to bite you in your behind because I told you how to spear properly, don't leave with your head first.

55:48.793 --> 55:58.429
[SPEAKER_01]: You've learned that and now you must learn how not to land on your neck when taking bump when it goes awry land on your back, not your head.

56:00.923 --> 56:06.110
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he, uh, you know, learn eventually better go read that way and regal tweet again.

56:06.170 --> 56:08.012
[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, please do read it.

56:08.432 --> 56:09.534
[SPEAKER_01]: You need to book market.

56:09.614 --> 56:17.384
[SPEAKER_01]: You need to go to the library, print a copy of it, post it on your refrigerator, read it every day before you go to bed, put it in your Bible chapter.

56:17.744 --> 56:25.434
[SPEAKER_01]: Do what you must to understand what you'd be absurdly, because like do you've been lucky, at least two times now of what not to do.

56:25.954 --> 56:27.977
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, protect your neck.

56:27.957 --> 56:39.227
[SPEAKER_01]: for your career longevity, for your health and well-being, for your life to walk on two good feet, on two good legs, particular neck.

56:39.247 --> 56:42.469
[SPEAKER_00]: Bookmark that we, you might want to put that word back on for you.

56:42.489 --> 56:44.171
[SPEAKER_00]: Go out for the matches and protect your neck.

56:44.451 --> 56:46.032
[SPEAKER_01]: Protect your neck, listen.

56:46.993 --> 56:49.856
[SPEAKER_01]: Listen, Wu Tang, I'll put that thing on repeat.

56:49.896 --> 56:57.222
[SPEAKER_01]: Put a star on it, put it in your ears, and listen to it, protect your neck.

56:58.147 --> 57:03.014
[SPEAKER_01]: W-E gave the final F-U to Travis Scott.

57:04.096 --> 57:06.920
[SPEAKER_01]: They said, yo, one year musical contract is up.

57:07.641 --> 57:10.565
[SPEAKER_01]: Eminem, your and your out Travis, get out, get out.

57:10.585 --> 57:11.045
[SPEAKER_01]: We're done.

57:11.927 --> 57:13.008
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was wondering about that.

57:13.028 --> 57:16.533
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that like, is that an official thing?

57:16.553 --> 57:18.316
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that official theme?

57:18.396 --> 57:20.018
[SPEAKER_01]: Godzilla by Eminem and Juice World.

57:20.038 --> 57:22.602
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, okay, come through, taste.

57:22.582 --> 57:28.148
[SPEAKER_01]: taste and, like, it's four years late when I was like, no, it's so good.

57:28.188 --> 57:30.210
[SPEAKER_01]: This song still doesn't work really well.

57:30.370 --> 57:32.833
[SPEAKER_01]: It is like, I was like, you know, this sounds familiar.

57:32.853 --> 57:35.676
[SPEAKER_01]: I say first of all, I thought they got Kendrick.

57:36.357 --> 57:40.942
[SPEAKER_01]: They pay for squabble up like, no, I said, that's Eminem.

57:41.082 --> 57:42.323
[SPEAKER_01]: I said, okay, there we go.

57:42.564 --> 57:42.984
[SPEAKER_00]: There we go.

57:43.004 --> 57:45.687
[SPEAKER_00]: Shut up and shout out Maria in the chat for that one, too.

57:46.561 --> 57:51.351
[SPEAKER_01]: Listen, the taste y'all taste love of our listeners, okay.

57:51.371 --> 57:52.053
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on.

57:52.113 --> 57:53.155
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

57:53.175 --> 57:53.757
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on.

57:53.857 --> 57:54.418
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.

57:55.140 --> 57:55.581
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.

57:56.242 --> 57:56.583
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

57:56.603 --> 58:03.658
[SPEAKER_01]: And speaking of taste, let's get to some Friday night smack down talk ever so briefly.

58:03.638 --> 58:05.600
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, let's skip the miss.

58:05.620 --> 58:06.541
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care about him.

58:06.962 --> 58:07.943
[SPEAKER_01]: Shout out to Randy, though.

58:07.963 --> 58:13.550
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back to Randy, looking good, laying out your boy, not once or twice.

58:13.810 --> 58:16.093
[SPEAKER_01]: And then what got me was that he broke him.

58:17.014 --> 58:18.035
[SPEAKER_01]: He broke him.

58:18.756 --> 58:19.497
[SPEAKER_00]: He broke him.

58:19.517 --> 58:23.462
[SPEAKER_00]: That boy was laughing while he was on the ground.

58:23.482 --> 58:24.623
[SPEAKER_01]: He broke him.

58:24.663 --> 58:27.106
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, Randy, what did you do?

58:27.166 --> 58:30.170
[SPEAKER_01]: And like, miss completely lost it.

58:30.710 --> 58:32.953
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Randy said, I apologize.

58:33.946 --> 58:47.888
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't know if it was the crowd when they started cheating one more time, but he must have said something when he hit that RKO like, you suck bro, he said something to him because the miss just was, I mean he had the biggest smile on his face, right?

58:49.066 --> 58:54.256
[SPEAKER_00]: Not only that, he had to take two RKOs and then he had to get insulted by the man that he put over.

58:54.737 --> 58:56.500
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just a rough night from a man, Mike.

58:56.961 --> 58:57.462
[SPEAKER_01]: Blessings.

58:57.522 --> 58:59.947
[SPEAKER_01]: He broke him before the RKO, too.

59:00.348 --> 59:06.720
[SPEAKER_01]: Like Randy had a fun time with Mike on dry day by breaking him repeatedly.

59:06.700 --> 59:12.910
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Mrs. Ray Baton, I continue when Melo basically said, listen, man, I want to thank you for what you did for me.

59:13.471 --> 59:20.562
[SPEAKER_01]: And Mrs. like, finally some appreciation, yeah, because when I got away with from you, man, I have been thriving ever since.

59:20.903 --> 59:23.187
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for getting the hell away from me.

59:23.667 --> 59:24.288
[SPEAKER_01]: Bless things.

59:24.649 --> 59:25.711
[SPEAKER_01]: Happy new year to you.

59:25.731 --> 59:28.796
[SPEAKER_00]: I do one match.

59:28.816 --> 59:29.457
[SPEAKER_00]: Two matches.

59:29.597 --> 59:31.400
[SPEAKER_00]: And I say it's all because of the miss.

59:31.981 --> 59:33.383
[SPEAKER_00]: She'd be thinking that man.

59:33.835 --> 59:39.022
[SPEAKER_01]: He should thank him for one thing for getting the hell away from him and not having a match.

59:39.242 --> 59:45.270
[SPEAKER_01]: When I tell you, when they wrote that in the dialogue to say, we are not even going to finish this story.

59:47.713 --> 59:49.776
[SPEAKER_01]: Melo won by default, okay?

59:49.976 --> 59:50.978
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a walkover.

59:51.879 --> 59:52.900
[SPEAKER_01]: Like a tennis match.

59:53.040 --> 59:55.824
[SPEAKER_01]: Walkover Miz retired from the feud.

59:56.164 --> 59:57.026
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that for me.

59:58.728 --> 01:00:03.454
[SPEAKER_01]: But let me talk about somebody that they beat on

01:00:03.704 --> 01:00:04.345
[SPEAKER_01]: on Friday.

01:00:04.385 --> 01:00:10.533
[SPEAKER_01]: That just changed the entire energy and vibe in the room.

01:00:11.334 --> 01:00:23.189
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was not Sammy Zane, because he came out, I could as Promo talked about how his son, Vuesa, as a failure for all a tense and purpose is saying, Dad, how come you're not the never seen 17?

01:00:23.489 --> 01:00:25.171
[SPEAKER_01]: How come you've never been world champion?

01:00:25.492 --> 01:00:27.214
[SPEAKER_01]: Why can't you be John Cena?

01:00:27.194 --> 01:00:28.316
[SPEAKER_01]: How come you suck?

01:00:28.536 --> 01:00:31.501
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's basically his son telling his father.

01:00:31.862 --> 01:00:33.585
[SPEAKER_01]: You have a done shit in your life.

01:00:33.725 --> 01:00:35.628
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been here for five years.

01:00:36.029 --> 01:00:38.753
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've seen other people succeed more than you have.

01:00:38.793 --> 01:00:40.516
[SPEAKER_01]: You bought homes of tag team titles.

01:00:40.977 --> 01:00:42.700
[SPEAKER_01]: You bought home the US championship.

01:00:42.980 --> 01:00:44.663
[SPEAKER_01]: But where's the big built dad?

01:00:44.743 --> 01:00:45.785
[SPEAKER_01]: Where's the big world?

01:00:45.805 --> 01:00:47.187
[SPEAKER_01]: Have a great championship built.

01:00:47.207 --> 01:00:48.690
[SPEAKER_01]: I can tell my friends about it school.

01:00:49.110 --> 01:00:50.653
[SPEAKER_01]: So he got nothing.

01:00:50.633 --> 01:00:51.735
[SPEAKER_01]: Sammy's disappointed.

01:00:51.935 --> 01:00:52.917
[SPEAKER_01]: He's on this quest now.

01:00:52.937 --> 01:00:55.421
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I got to do it for my son to prove to him.

01:00:55.521 --> 01:00:57.404
[SPEAKER_01]: I could be a champion in WWE.

01:00:57.744 --> 01:00:58.886
[SPEAKER_01]: No more talking about it.

01:00:58.906 --> 01:00:59.928
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to be about it.

01:01:00.028 --> 01:01:10.003
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we get the official SmackDown debut of one trick willy trick Williams on SmackDown and Buffalo, New York.

01:01:10.044 --> 01:01:11.005
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe

01:01:12.014 --> 01:01:14.158
[SPEAKER_01]: and the fans in Buffalo.

01:01:14.218 --> 01:01:16.221
[SPEAKER_01]: They knew the theme.

01:01:16.261 --> 01:01:22.452
[SPEAKER_01]: They knew how to say, what that trick looking clean and all white.

01:01:23.213 --> 01:01:25.216
[SPEAKER_01]: The presentation was everything.

01:01:25.317 --> 01:01:26.519
[SPEAKER_01]: I miss bookers at lips.

01:01:26.779 --> 01:01:27.981
[SPEAKER_01]: It will say that.

01:01:27.961 --> 01:01:39.101
[SPEAKER_01]: But overall, trick presids it himself like a star, a superstar, and saying, I'm coming for that championship, cut off salmon.

01:01:39.121 --> 01:01:40.163
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm not done talking.

01:01:40.183 --> 01:01:41.024
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm talking here.

01:01:41.505 --> 01:01:48.237
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I am what you see when you see Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson, saying, play the same time.

01:01:48.257 --> 01:01:48.778
[SPEAKER_01]: This is me.

01:01:48.818 --> 01:01:50.982
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trick is what I do.

01:01:50.962 --> 01:02:18.775
[SPEAKER_01]: I got this, I'm going to put a sepazon, I'm here to be champion and Sammy says I'm here to humble you, I'm here to humble you because you think that all of this inherently belongs to you when it doesn't, it has to be earned and you got to go through me and they're booting up to a match eventually and then tricks, debut match will be against Ray Phoenix this Friday on SmackDown overseas, but overall in terms of presentation or a swag style,

01:02:18.755 --> 01:02:28.393
[SPEAKER_01]: everything that you need to be a star, trick Williams killed his debut officially, and he's going to be a big time star in WWE if they push him properly.

01:02:30.652 --> 01:02:33.676
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this was the debut that Javon wishes he got.

01:02:33.696 --> 01:02:38.062
[SPEAKER_00]: I, great segment, great way to debut trick.

01:02:38.363 --> 01:02:43.129
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, he, same he's aim was the perfect person for trick to come opposite to.

01:02:44.351 --> 01:02:58.611
[SPEAKER_00]: Because he is that all, you know, he is that all the American athlete, top tier, looks great, talks great, young, at, it was, it was absolutely a perfect debut for trick.

01:02:58.651 --> 01:02:59.933
[SPEAKER_00]: And honestly,

01:02:59.913 --> 01:03:07.242
[SPEAKER_00]: this could be what Sammy needs because I think a lot of people are kind of with Maria as far as the whining him talking about being a world champion.

01:03:07.722 --> 01:03:13.970
[SPEAKER_00]: This has gone back to him against Roman Reigns at elimination chamber when he was still running the bloodline.

01:03:13.990 --> 01:03:19.556
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's how long he's been talking about wanting to be world champion and then doing this and doing that, not that.

01:03:19.977 --> 01:03:28.367
[SPEAKER_00]: So this could be what Sammy needs to either set him on the right track or set him back down to where he really

01:03:28.938 --> 01:03:30.180
[SPEAKER_00]: and work his way back up.

01:03:31.041 --> 01:03:38.794
[SPEAKER_00]: Trick, trick Williams has an opportunity to really ascend and go very quickly on that smack down round, and that smack down side.

01:03:38.834 --> 01:03:42.861
[SPEAKER_00]: He already had a face to face with Cody Rose, so that's gotta be in the works.

01:03:43.342 --> 01:03:51.435
[SPEAKER_00]: But if he continues to impress like this and Triple H stays away from the show, he's got a really good opportunity to do a lot of good things over there.

01:03:51.702 --> 01:03:56.978
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, Triple H is unfortunately here, and I can tell you this.

01:03:57.781 --> 01:04:02.134
[SPEAKER_01]: Smackdown has been this black since they were on the CW.

01:04:02.502 --> 01:04:06.747
[SPEAKER_01]: and you pin back in the day and my network TV.

01:04:06.807 --> 01:04:09.510
[SPEAKER_01]: It hasn't been this black in a very long time.

01:04:09.570 --> 01:04:14.975
[SPEAKER_01]: And Triple H, you got to get ready to adapt and adjust to this blackness that you're seeing.

01:04:15.316 --> 01:04:17.498
[SPEAKER_01]: It's all black, everything is melanated.

01:04:17.838 --> 01:04:19.660
[SPEAKER_01]: Like NXT on the Tuesday night.

01:04:20.001 --> 01:04:22.984

01:04:23.084 --> 01:04:25.827
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, you'd be saying that you pin it.

01:04:26.127 --> 01:04:27.168
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, you pin it.

01:04:27.208 --> 01:04:28.290
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you pin it.

01:04:28.350 --> 01:04:30.552

[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't heard no long time.

01:04:46.733 --> 01:04:47.575
[SPEAKER_01]: Half and half.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna drop all the names the game the original game Not to belate the game the other game.

01:04:53.725 --> 01:04:54.767

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, remember that, but that was, the one on one, though, that's the one you sending me back on because that used to really rock with that show.

01:05:02.274 --> 01:05:02.735
[SPEAKER_01]: Me too.

01:05:02.795 --> 01:05:03.936
[SPEAKER_01]: That was my jam too.

01:05:03.976 --> 01:05:05.137
[SPEAKER_01]: That was my jam as well.

01:05:05.157 --> 01:05:09.902
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yes, like to be, we talked about UPN pure on malination.

01:05:11.023 --> 01:05:13.525

[SPEAKER_01]: And it's been that black says jagged edges on SmackDown, fatated long, and Chris was wedding, and Jeff Hardy just

01:05:25.848 --> 01:05:32.202
[SPEAKER_00]: In years, the under pressure network, it's never going away at all.

01:05:32.222 --> 01:05:33.145
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll live on forever.

01:05:35.329 --> 01:05:39.098
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, not to you be in the under pressure network.

01:05:40.023 --> 01:05:47.050
[SPEAKER_00]: They had to deliver ratings if they weren't the state on TV with all them black shows and black started the under pressure network.

01:05:47.351 --> 01:05:47.631
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

01:05:47.651 --> 01:05:49.132
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why they got that name.

01:05:49.873 --> 01:05:53.977
[SPEAKER_01]: Listen and not only that they had all the black shows lined up.

01:05:54.118 --> 01:06:01.045
[SPEAKER_01]: And then if you want it to be your star track, so we have Voyager, we enter prize for you to get your tricky on as well.

01:06:01.886 --> 01:06:04.208
[SPEAKER_00]: We have bound that with the black leader.

01:06:04.745 --> 01:06:08.797
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it wasn't that with the blade, it was so crazy.

01:06:08.817 --> 01:06:09.880
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, man.

01:06:10.924 --> 01:06:12.127
[SPEAKER_01]: They gave you diversity.

01:06:12.147 --> 01:06:14.173
[SPEAKER_01]: They gave you like millination and start track.

01:06:14.595 --> 01:06:18.687
[SPEAKER_01]: They gave you space and brothers and sisters rolling into one network, okay?

01:06:18.987 --> 01:06:19.828
[SPEAKER_00]: Steve Harvey too.

01:06:19.848 --> 01:06:21.189
[SPEAKER_00]: Gotta shout out Steve Harvey too.

01:06:21.409 --> 01:06:22.210
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, shout out to Steve.

01:06:22.230 --> 01:06:28.897
[SPEAKER_01]: That was WB, shout out to WB, you know, I don't shout out to Frog, but shout out to the WB nonetheless.

01:06:29.838 --> 01:06:34.262
[SPEAKER_01]: The WB nonetheless, you know, you know, I ain't going to shout out that damn frog.

01:06:35.284 --> 01:06:36.745
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't do it wrong.

01:06:38.667 --> 01:06:44.713
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Fernando note, Strict Williams is going to impress us next week versus Ray Phoenix.

01:06:44.733 --> 01:06:46.615
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe so too.

01:06:47.185 --> 01:06:53.791
[SPEAKER_01]: For people that don't watch NXT and trust me, I understand why, okay, I understand why.

01:06:54.472 --> 01:06:54.832
[SPEAKER_01]: I do.

01:06:55.793 --> 01:07:02.439
[SPEAKER_01]: But tricks excursion and TNA to be the TNA champion come through.

01:07:02.459 --> 01:07:08.044
[SPEAKER_01]: He's improved so much, complete worker, he's got this.

01:07:08.645 --> 01:07:11.787
[SPEAKER_01]: Enring, I have no problem at all.

01:07:12.208 --> 01:07:16.872
[SPEAKER_01]: And now we get in real melanator right now

01:07:16.852 --> 01:07:17.936
[SPEAKER_01]: That was on Fox.

01:07:17.996 --> 01:07:18.618
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, lady.

01:07:18.639 --> 01:07:24.520
[SPEAKER_01]: Be and let's say it for everybody living single greater conference.

01:07:24.741 --> 01:07:26.347
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's just put that out there right now.

01:07:26.447 --> 01:07:28.414
[SPEAKER_01]: Great term then friends by multiples.

01:07:29.761 --> 01:07:32.445
[SPEAKER_00]: First of all, friends is not even a good show.

01:07:32.565 --> 01:07:35.370
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't even think that needs to be thrown out there.

01:07:35.390 --> 01:07:37.533
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that, friends is not a good show.

01:07:37.713 --> 01:07:40.578
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just the show that was on that people watched.

01:07:40.598 --> 01:07:43.041
[SPEAKER_00]: That was, that is not a good show.

01:07:43.182 --> 01:07:45.646
[SPEAKER_00]: There is nothing good about it.

01:07:45.786 --> 01:07:52.837
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not funny and again, there were like three black people on an entire show called Friends.

01:07:53.137 --> 01:07:55.701
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't buy it and I didn't like it.

01:07:56.980 --> 01:08:03.963
[SPEAKER_01]: Was the magic I'm either, even though I was pulling four, Rachel and Joey because Ross wasn't shit, towards the latter seasons.

01:08:04.867 --> 01:08:09.201
[SPEAKER_01]: The only reason I started watching friends, I swear to God, Scott, you wanna hear my friends origin story?

01:08:10.835 --> 01:08:28.168
[SPEAKER_01]: So when I was an elementary school and had no choice, I spread my ankle and I was better written for like three weeks and the channel I had no control of the television and one day friends was on and I just was had no choice and it was when Ross dumped home girl.

01:08:28.148 --> 01:08:30.571
[SPEAKER_01]: at the altar is that he's still love Rachel.

01:08:31.152 --> 01:08:33.215
[SPEAKER_01]: And from that moment, I knew Ross was a bitch.

01:08:33.976 --> 01:08:34.877
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a good hook though.

01:08:34.957 --> 01:08:36.759
[SPEAKER_00]: At least that's a good hook.

01:08:36.800 --> 01:08:37.841
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's okay.

01:08:38.201 --> 01:08:38.682
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me see.

01:08:38.762 --> 01:08:39.904
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me see the next episode.

01:08:39.924 --> 01:08:40.865
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me see what they're going to do.

01:08:41.025 --> 01:08:41.786
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'll give you that.

01:08:41.826 --> 01:08:45.391
[SPEAKER_00]: That's at least a good hook to keep you interested for a little bit.

01:08:45.651 --> 01:08:48.435
[SPEAKER_01]: It opened the door and then like

01:08:49.917 --> 01:08:57.209
[SPEAKER_01]: Russia got pregnant because Ross, it wasn't shit and then Joy wanted to be a daddy and didn't want it to be Rachel and that did not work out.

01:08:57.249 --> 01:09:02.958
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it opened the pathway for me to be a semi friend, but a semi friend.

01:09:03.359 --> 01:09:08.387
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, to be a semi friend's fan, but live in single is far superior.

01:09:08.567 --> 01:09:10.170
[SPEAKER_01]: The fall superior show.

01:09:11.112 --> 01:09:12.233
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, absolutely.

01:09:12.794 --> 01:09:14.515
[SPEAKER_00]: With a little bit more diversity to it.

01:09:14.535 --> 01:09:15.416
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes.

01:09:15.896 --> 01:09:18.639
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I still want to live in that apartment to this day.

01:09:18.839 --> 01:09:22.843
[SPEAKER_01]: That those apartments were nice in the 90s and those brown stones, I must say.

01:09:23.783 --> 01:09:24.944
[SPEAKER_01]: This would be hanging out with people.

01:09:25.985 --> 01:09:31.350
[SPEAKER_01]: Like on a random week night in just eating pizza and just chilling and talking, just a vibe, man.

01:09:31.811 --> 01:09:33.112
[SPEAKER_01]: Come out of the theme song too.

01:09:33.412 --> 01:09:34.633
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, come on, Queen.

01:09:34.733 --> 01:09:37.436
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, living, single.

01:09:37.456 --> 01:09:41.119
[SPEAKER_01]: 90s, come on, you know, come on now.

01:09:41.740 --> 01:09:42.261
[SPEAKER_01]: There we go.

01:09:43.162 --> 01:09:45.505
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, anything else, some smack down of the note?

01:09:45.625 --> 01:09:46.226
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes!

01:09:48.608 --> 01:09:50.331
[SPEAKER_01]: Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes.

01:09:51.132 --> 01:09:52.774
[SPEAKER_01]: Three stages of hell.

01:09:55.417 --> 01:09:57.339
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it really hell though, Scott?

01:09:58.300 --> 01:09:59.081
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it really hell?

01:10:00.183 --> 01:10:01.084
[SPEAKER_01]: A straight-up match?

01:10:02.626 --> 01:10:04.348
[SPEAKER_01]: And then what was the next stage of hell?

01:10:05.249 --> 01:10:06.170
[SPEAKER_00]: False count anywhere.

01:10:06.871 --> 01:10:07.632
[SPEAKER_01]: So scary.

01:10:07.952 --> 01:10:10.195
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the last stage of hell is a still cage.

01:10:11.660 --> 01:10:20.934
[SPEAKER_00]: Hellish, I tell you, Hellish, I mean, at least NXT one had a street fight in there.

01:10:21.816 --> 01:10:29.888
[SPEAKER_00]: The Randy Orton Triple H one had an ambulance match, something else, or no, I'm sorry I am a stretcher match, but this is, um,

01:10:31.032 --> 01:10:41.005
[SPEAKER_00]: This is purely here, purely here, so that Drew McIntyre can get a pinfall over Cody Rhodes and not when the title.

01:10:41.485 --> 01:10:55.183
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the only reason they're having a three stage of Hell match in the first one's a singles match, so Drew can get a pinfall victory over Cody, and then Cody can overcome the odds, get his pinfall back, and then pin him again in the steel cage.

01:10:55.864 --> 01:10:57.546
[SPEAKER_00]: The only reason this is happening.

01:10:58.184 --> 01:11:01.609
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're basically saying, here, Gina Dam, are you happy now?

01:11:02.069 --> 01:11:04.593
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's your pinfall victory over Cody Rhodes.

01:11:04.933 --> 01:11:06.435
[SPEAKER_01]: You won't win the last fall.

01:11:06.756 --> 01:11:08.198
[SPEAKER_00]: You at least win the first fall.

01:11:10.501 --> 01:11:12.584
[SPEAKER_00]: That is 100% what I'm saying.

01:11:13.184 --> 01:11:15.588
[SPEAKER_00]: This is, you know what drew you been a good soldier.

01:11:16.068 --> 01:11:19.433
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to let you pin Cody on TV.

01:11:19.413 --> 01:11:21.241
[SPEAKER_00]: But then he's got to beat you two times in a row.

01:11:21.563 --> 01:11:27.290
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is just as bad as when they used to do two out of three falls matches on Monday night Raw when it first went to three hours.

01:11:27.792 --> 01:11:28.917
[SPEAKER_01]: It's all good.

01:11:29.605 --> 01:11:29.905
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:11:30.326 --> 01:11:31.267
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you are right.

01:11:31.387 --> 01:11:40.479
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we're going for like the lowest common denominator heat of Drew McIntyre saying that Dusty's in Hell, like really?

01:11:41.020 --> 01:11:49.951
[SPEAKER_01]: Right out of the ran New York and Ray Mysterio playbook from 20 freaking years ago is redacted back in charge of creative to bring that up.

01:11:50.732 --> 01:11:54.216
[SPEAKER_01]: Did AI dust that did AI dust off the storyline?

01:11:54.837 --> 01:11:59.443
[SPEAKER_01]: That was

01:11:59.423 --> 01:12:09.634
[SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of, speaking of Kip, speaking of our friend Rho dog, Rhode of the dog, Gino Scott, you saw the trailer for Unreal, right?

01:12:09.654 --> 01:12:10.135
[SPEAKER_01]: Season two.

01:12:11.636 --> 01:12:13.378
[SPEAKER_01]: And he had trying to push them tears out.

01:12:13.619 --> 01:12:18.244
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Ron, Archruth called me and they said, they let him go.

01:12:18.284 --> 01:12:27.574
[SPEAKER_01]: That may was pushing that tears like he had a vasine in his eyes.

01:12:28.060 --> 01:12:29.742
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh you missed you missed it.

01:12:30.063 --> 01:12:33.848
[SPEAKER_00]: See, they showed him pull and devising back because he had just put it in his eye.

01:12:33.909 --> 01:12:35.671
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what you missed and he had a cold.

01:12:35.731 --> 01:12:36.673
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why he was sniffling.

01:12:36.693 --> 01:12:38.796
[SPEAKER_00]: So they just forgot to show that part.

01:12:39.697 --> 01:12:40.438
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, Lady B.

01:12:41.400 --> 01:12:48.550
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, let's see, why you got to go into the contract, re-associations with this time on a rock game from that sword with that new contract.

01:12:48.891 --> 01:12:51.154
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think this is what you had in mind.

01:12:51.254 --> 01:12:51.975
[SPEAKER_01]: Well,

01:12:53.947 --> 01:12:54.848
[SPEAKER_01]: That is his fate.

01:12:55.108 --> 01:12:58.052
[SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, you know what he's got high land.

01:12:58.092 --> 01:12:59.434
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got high lander to film.

01:13:00.134 --> 01:13:05.381
[SPEAKER_00]: But that new contract got him that nice nice little house on the on the golf course.

01:13:05.401 --> 01:13:07.203
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, with the nutcracker in the front yard.

01:13:07.223 --> 01:13:09.285
[SPEAKER_01]: That came with the contract.

01:13:09.726 --> 01:13:10.227
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it did.

01:13:10.247 --> 01:13:11.348
[SPEAKER_01]: It sure did.

01:13:11.388 --> 01:13:14.332
[SPEAKER_01]: And we got to check on the opposite.

01:13:14.352 --> 01:13:15.393
[SPEAKER_01]: It was in the drink.

01:13:15.413 --> 01:13:16.935
[SPEAKER_01]: It was okay because you got dumped.

01:13:17.395 --> 01:13:22.441
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're going to pray for him.

01:13:22.461 --> 01:13:23.903
[SPEAKER_01]: So that happened.

01:13:23.883 --> 01:13:29.029
[SPEAKER_01]: as we get used to it because Laura knows we got to get used to it, but I thought they filled the three hours pretty well.

01:13:29.469 --> 01:13:32.332
[SPEAKER_01]: And I stayed awake for at least two hours and 30 minutes.

01:13:32.733 --> 01:13:38.559
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of tapped out during an ambulance match, but I woke up to see the end of it, and it was all right for what it was.

01:13:38.699 --> 01:13:40.301
[SPEAKER_01]: Glad this thing's finally over.

01:13:40.882 --> 01:13:45.827
[SPEAKER_01]: And we'll Scott's prediction of Alistair Black and Damien Pre's becoming a tag team come true.

01:13:46.328 --> 01:13:49.992
[SPEAKER_01]: To tease me like I didn't get my other tag team we shall see.

01:13:51.170 --> 01:13:57.380
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know if we're going to get the Black Priest team that I want, but yeah, for an end, I definitely remember VKM.

01:13:58.983 --> 01:14:02.910
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I remember those two over there and yeah, all of that.

01:14:02.970 --> 01:14:04.452
[SPEAKER_00]: So trash.

01:14:04.893 --> 01:14:08.419
[SPEAKER_00]: But we are, it is what it is.

01:14:08.821 --> 01:14:09.923
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, all right.

01:14:09.943 --> 01:14:27.737
[SPEAKER_01]: And before we bid you all to do, because the next T, you know, now under our new night and time, it brings up the rear, because nothing happening on that show of note, we do got to talk about an XT themed special going down tonight as it's now midnight out in the east.

01:14:27.757 --> 01:14:30.222
[SPEAKER_01]: It is new years evil.

01:14:30.202 --> 01:14:33.388
[SPEAKER_01]: And it is going to be a lineup of championship matches.

01:14:33.408 --> 01:14:38.076
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to some grudge matches mixed in for good measure to ring in the new year.

01:14:38.537 --> 01:14:44.207
[SPEAKER_01]: And I do want Scott's quick takes on some match predictions heading into the show tonight.

01:14:44.888 --> 01:14:48.835
[SPEAKER_01]: So let me pull up the new year evils card.

01:14:49.388 --> 01:14:56.941
[SPEAKER_01]: And let's dive into who we think is going to walk out with some gold or retain set championship.

01:14:57.883 --> 01:14:59.446
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me do my thing here.

01:14:59.466 --> 01:15:03.333
[SPEAKER_01]: There we go, the little type in here.

01:15:03.353 --> 01:15:07.460
[SPEAKER_01]: New year's evil 2026 and XT.

01:15:07.500 --> 01:15:09.323
[SPEAKER_01]: There we are.

01:15:09.384 --> 01:15:11.107
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go to Wikipedia.

01:15:11.127 --> 01:15:13.050
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get our card pulled up.

01:15:13.030 --> 01:15:16.954
[SPEAKER_01]: and the line up is as follows a format special.

01:15:17.414 --> 01:15:20.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's start from least important to most important.

01:15:20.778 --> 01:15:25.082
[SPEAKER_01]: So we have Tatum Paxley and Izzy Dame in a singles match.

01:15:25.823 --> 01:15:28.345
[SPEAKER_01]: No interference from the calling.

01:15:30.528 --> 01:15:32.009
[SPEAKER_00]: I got Tatum getting her win.

01:15:32.790 --> 01:15:34.892
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she picks up the win and moves on.

01:15:35.492 --> 01:15:38.295
[SPEAKER_00]: But then again, I'm a stick.

01:15:38.315 --> 01:15:39.016
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a stick with my God.

01:15:39.036 --> 01:15:40.017
[SPEAKER_00]: I got Tatum.

01:15:40.216 --> 01:15:45.504
[SPEAKER_01]: All righty, I have Tatum as well to get this match next up.

01:15:46.105 --> 01:15:54.538
[SPEAKER_01]: See a hail versus Blake Monroe with Jordan Grace in her corner for the NXT Women's North American Championship.

01:15:55.059 --> 01:15:57.303
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't trust Jordan Grace.

01:15:57.844 --> 01:15:59.807
[SPEAKER_01]: She's getting caught up to SmackDown.

01:16:00.307 --> 01:16:07.759
[SPEAKER_01]: She's going to turn on the a hail and align with Blake Monroe as Blake regains the championship.

01:16:08.212 --> 01:16:11.097
[SPEAKER_01]: as we're also hearing well-mollings that Blake could get called up soon.

01:16:13.262 --> 01:16:14.704
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm going with Blake as well.

01:16:14.845 --> 01:16:23.641
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Jordan accidentally hits the, uh, Cynthia tries a big boy or a big girl or a big timer and then Jordan just decides some mallar.

01:16:25.204 --> 01:16:27.809
[SPEAKER_01]: And I would love to see Jordan and Blake as a team.

01:16:28.150 --> 01:16:29.072
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love to see that.

01:16:29.112 --> 01:16:30.895
[SPEAKER_01]: The dynamic would begin interesting.

01:16:31.853 --> 01:16:32.514
[SPEAKER_01]: It wouldn't be bad.

01:16:33.035 --> 01:16:33.336
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:16:33.937 --> 01:16:39.246
[SPEAKER_01]: And then next up, and a match that could very well be awesome.

01:16:39.907 --> 01:16:44.455
[SPEAKER_01]: JC Jane versus Kendall Gray for the NXT Women's Championship.

01:16:45.296 --> 01:16:53.410
[SPEAKER_01]: I have bought stock in both ladies recently, and I think this could be a sneaky, great match.

01:16:53.610 --> 01:16:57.557
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not see a title switch, but I think this match could be great.

01:17:00.558 --> 01:17:05.586
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I got JC as well, especially as long as Kendall's got the to be title.

01:17:05.626 --> 01:17:09.272
[SPEAKER_00]: So as long as she holding that, she's not getting that the next he go.

01:17:10.294 --> 01:17:12.557
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's say, why do you got to call it the to be title man.

01:17:12.597 --> 01:17:14.100
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just cold blood it man.

01:17:14.861 --> 01:17:16.103
[SPEAKER_01]: The champion of to be.

01:17:18.462 --> 01:17:25.577
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, she's a champion, so I give her that, but she needs, she needs to drop that title, she can start winning the real titles on the Melonated Network.

01:17:26.298 --> 01:17:31.509
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, now listen to me is get into the high-end television business.

01:17:32.351 --> 01:17:35.738
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to be baby peacock in like the next couple of years.

01:17:37.342 --> 01:17:38.985
[SPEAKER_01]: And then eventually we all got to pay.

01:17:40.400 --> 01:17:49.350
[SPEAKER_01]: they're going to want they're going to start at 99 cents to begin and they're going incrementally grow increase to at least $10 by the year 2030.

01:17:49.490 --> 01:17:56.618
[SPEAKER_00]: I am not paying for two be as long as Pluto and Roku channel are still around.

01:17:57.079 --> 01:17:59.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I have no reason to pay for two be.

01:18:00.362 --> 01:18:07.150
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree, but you know it's going to be a gateway price for two be eventually.

01:18:07.484 --> 01:18:09.066
[SPEAKER_01]: trying to get high in programming now.

01:18:10.088 --> 01:18:11.230
[SPEAKER_01]: I see what they're doing.

01:18:12.932 --> 01:18:13.813
[SPEAKER_00]: Slowly, bush early.

01:18:13.894 --> 01:18:15.716
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw Martin Lawrence on a 2B movie.

01:18:15.736 --> 01:18:17.158
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, what in the world is going on?

01:18:17.178 --> 01:18:35.145
[SPEAKER_01]: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

01:18:35.868 --> 01:18:54.265
[SPEAKER_01]: To be is the gateway to B to plus if B to plus is not to the gateway to the next telepory movie right on B to plus yes it's a gateway to anything.

01:18:55.021 --> 01:18:56.504
[SPEAKER_01]: Tyler Perry related.

01:18:56.624 --> 01:18:56.944
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

01:18:57.846 --> 01:19:05.479
[SPEAKER_01]: It is then our main event, Oberfemi versus Leon Slater and a single smash for the NXT Championship.

01:19:06.301 --> 01:19:11.790
[SPEAKER_01]: This is interesting because we got the Oberfemi Promo's going on television right now for both Ron Smackdown.

01:19:12.431 --> 01:19:15.797
[SPEAKER_01]: Do I foresee a title switch because of this possibility?

01:19:16.469 --> 01:19:26.412
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, the oscillator will win the NXT championship and he will take it to the first TNA show live on AMC in a couple of weeks.

01:19:26.934 --> 01:19:28.437
[SPEAKER_01]: I do believe that will happen.

01:19:31.184 --> 01:19:32.785
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think I'm with you.

01:19:33.886 --> 01:19:36.669
[SPEAKER_00]: They've been pushing promoting this guy pretty hard.

01:19:36.689 --> 01:19:39.411
[SPEAKER_00]: They let him get a lot of TV time on different shows.

01:19:40.192 --> 01:19:48.299
[SPEAKER_00]: And that would be a big moment for TNA to finally get one of their wrestlers to win an NXT title to beat over Fermi.

01:19:49.000 --> 01:19:50.942
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's got bigger things on his horizon.

01:19:51.382 --> 01:19:56.727
[SPEAKER_00]: And then that opens the door for Ricky Saints to go and take that title as the new heel on NXT.

01:19:56.747 --> 01:20:01.191
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I'm with you.

01:20:01.171 --> 01:20:11.529
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so as well, Javans reaction should be interesting and are we signed with Monday Night Raw, but he lost his last much in XT and he was kind of myth that Leong was getting this shot too.

01:20:12.030 --> 01:20:16.217
[SPEAKER_01]: So we shall see where it all leads to tonight on NXT.

01:20:16.257 --> 01:20:18.581
[SPEAKER_01]: Those are our new year's evil picks.

01:20:18.601 --> 01:20:22.027
[SPEAKER_01]: And then of course we'll talk about them next week right here on the wrap.

01:20:22.127 --> 01:20:26.014
[SPEAKER_01]: And with that, that is about it for today.

01:20:25.994 --> 01:20:29.137
[SPEAKER_01]: We want to thank all of you in the chat for joining us tonight.

01:20:29.177 --> 01:20:33.201
[SPEAKER_01]: I appreciate the support for our first live show after Monday Night Raw.

01:20:33.241 --> 01:20:37.926
[SPEAKER_01]: This will be a regular thing moving forward every Monday around 1045.

01:20:38.006 --> 01:20:42.009
[SPEAKER_01]: PM Eastern to get you locked in on all things Monday Night Raw.

01:20:42.370 --> 01:20:47.134
[SPEAKER_01]: A little smack down talk and NXT as well to get your week started.

01:20:47.194 --> 01:20:52.980
[SPEAKER_01]: Scott final thoughts of the first week of WWE in 2026.

01:20:55.559 --> 01:20:56.641
[SPEAKER_00]: Good start to the year.

01:20:57.262 --> 01:20:59.025
[SPEAKER_00]: I think NXT's going to continue that trend.

01:20:59.045 --> 01:21:01.710
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you said, I think there'd be some sneaky good matches on there.

01:21:02.331 --> 01:21:06.017
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I think they're off to a good start.

01:21:06.057 --> 01:21:12.669
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see what SmackDown has if they can make it two weeks in a row of watchable three-hour shows, which would be a tough thing for them to do.

01:21:12.709 --> 01:21:14.412
[SPEAKER_00]: But good start to the year.

01:21:15.067 --> 01:21:18.430
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for SmackDown, it will be taped this Friday.

01:21:18.670 --> 01:21:21.813
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it's gonna be live on Netflix and so nationally for viewers out there.

01:21:22.253 --> 01:21:30.040
[SPEAKER_01]: And y'all gonna get the benefit of telling us what's happening and you get to skim through the show quickly if you are able to get through the commercials and record time.

01:21:30.060 --> 01:21:44.753
[SPEAKER_01]: So hopefully it's an easy watch for us here in the U.S. on Friday heading into the first SmackDown overseas, the first of many because we have to remember there will not be a domestic show

01:21:44.733 --> 01:21:45.795
[SPEAKER_01]: the Warrior Rumble.

01:21:48.219 --> 01:21:49.602
[SPEAKER_00]: Shout out to the international crowd.

01:21:50.343 --> 01:21:54.050
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I got getting a lot of great shows, Rios got the Warrior Rumble.

01:21:54.070 --> 01:22:01.924
[SPEAKER_01]: And then of course, we'll come back stage side to get your ready for elimination chamber in February from Chicago at the United Center.

01:22:02.485 --> 01:22:05.290
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll be back next Monday, recapping.

01:22:05.270 --> 01:22:06.913
[SPEAKER_01]: Monday Night Raw is taped.

01:22:07.293 --> 01:22:10.238
[SPEAKER_01]: From Germany, we'll skip through the show in about 90 minutes.

01:22:10.318 --> 01:22:17.531
[SPEAKER_01]: Go live on YouTube to talk about the show that was on Monday Night Raw and get you prepped for the rest of the week ahead.

01:22:18.091 --> 01:22:22.900
[SPEAKER_01]: So as always, I want to thank Softy Scott Young for joining me to recap the week so far.

01:22:23.521 --> 01:22:24.983
[SPEAKER_01]: And WWE.

01:22:25.958 --> 01:22:36.670

01:22:40.975 --> 01:22:46.381
[SPEAKER_00]: So this will be the new time, see y'all every Monday, and let's expand this thing.

01:22:46.421 --> 01:22:47.122
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get it bigger.

01:22:47.142 --> 01:22:47.923
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get it popping.

01:22:47.943 --> 01:22:48.724
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a lot of fun.

01:22:49.324 --> 01:22:49.685
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

01:22:49.785 --> 01:22:54.210
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're getting out of the dead zone that is Tuesday because the next T.

01:22:54.190 --> 01:22:59.517
[SPEAKER_01]: is a dead zone show and we can't talk about a dead zone show on Tuesday.

01:23:00.538 --> 01:23:05.906
[SPEAKER_01]: In XTO's special place in my heart, it ain't all that for us to be doing a shown Tuesday nights.

01:23:06.206 --> 01:23:16.840
[SPEAKER_01]: So Mondays where it's at and it's a great time to start this on Mondays due to the start of WrestleMania season, looking for it to all of you joining us on this journey as a row to WrestleMania begins.

01:23:16.820 --> 01:23:24.617
[SPEAKER_01]: So until next Monday, that is the wrap right here on the fake media network YouTube channel for myself.

01:23:24.758 --> 01:23:26.181
[SPEAKER_01]: And for us all, she's got young.

01:23:26.221 --> 01:23:28.927
[SPEAKER_01]: That is a wrap on all things WWE.

01:23:29.328 --> 01:23:33.377
[SPEAKER_01]: Take care and bye-bye to you all.
