[SPEAKER_01]: Don't do me like that.

01:55.957 --> 01:59.263
[SPEAKER_01]: Have high hopes it's going to be a great night for sinners.

01:59.783 --> 02:00.525
[SPEAKER_01]: Fingers crossed.

02:03.609 --> 02:08.317

02:08.437 --> 02:11.081
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm a big Leo guy, so Leo won.

02:11.141 --> 02:12.283
[SPEAKER_03]: It says cool too.

02:13.057 --> 02:15.887
[SPEAKER_01]: as long as Timothy Shaliman doesn't win.

02:15.947 --> 02:22.269
[SPEAKER_01]: That's to, you know, we say Shaliman, Shaliman, you know, long as that doesn't happen to Shaliman.

02:23.393 --> 02:23.995
[UNKNOWN]: Shaliman.

02:25.190 --> 02:37.286
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, hello, Fernando, welcome to the rap after dark is he also offers congratulations to pentaging you for becoming the new intercontinental champion, which will dive into in a bit.

02:37.326 --> 02:43.153
[SPEAKER_01]: And of course, he wants to puff her up, Scott, to tell him happy 21st birthday.

02:43.514 --> 02:48.180
[SPEAKER_01]: You are so kind Fernando to age that man down by at least 35 years.

02:50.743 --> 02:50.843
[UNKNOWN]: Well.

02:51.228 --> 02:59.304
[SPEAKER_03]: I appreciate the birthday wishes, I would love to remember what it was like to be in my 20s, but I'll take it.

03:00.346 --> 03:01.569
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was a good birthday.

03:02.070 --> 03:04.815
[SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, now we're in our back here.

03:04.835 --> 03:06.098
[SPEAKER_03]: I appreciate it for the end.

03:06.567 --> 03:09.714
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, happy birthday to you, glad you enjoyed it.

03:09.895 --> 03:25.470
[SPEAKER_01]: And what a celebration you had because you had the honor and privilege of unwrapping the elimination chamber PLE going down live from the United Center in Chicago this past Saturday on the ESPN unlimited app.

03:25.450 --> 03:27.375
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm very happy to report.

03:27.796 --> 03:31.064
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have experience, the weight is finally over.

03:31.465 --> 03:34.633
[SPEAKER_01]: We now have access at no extra charge.

03:35.074 --> 03:39.947
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank God, my national nightmare of paying 29.99 is over.

03:40.428 --> 03:42.413
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for coming through in the clutch.

03:44.705 --> 03:48.872
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and anybody who does subscribe, you can go and cancel because you've got a month free.

03:49.253 --> 03:49.914
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.

03:49.974 --> 03:50.635
[SPEAKER_03]: Nothing going on.

03:50.935 --> 03:54.581
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you can just re-subscribe in April because you get two shows for one.

03:54.662 --> 03:57.566
[SPEAKER_02]: So, go ahead and take a month off, save that $30.

03:57.727 --> 04:01.052
[SPEAKER_02]: Go buy yourself some ice cream or something, and then come on back in April.

04:02.054 --> 04:07.523
[SPEAKER_01]: Technically, the re-shows for one, you get WrestleMania, then you get backlash.

04:08.532 --> 04:09.755
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, back lashes in April, too.

04:10.356 --> 04:13.163
[SPEAKER_01]: Isn't May, but you still have that billing cycle.

04:13.183 --> 04:13.885
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, all right.

04:13.905 --> 04:14.606
[SPEAKER_03]: They okay.

04:14.626 --> 04:17.032
[SPEAKER_03]: C, C, C, C, you're talking there.

04:17.092 --> 04:18.315
[SPEAKER_03]: That's three shows.

04:18.475 --> 04:21.362
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm waiting until the 16th before I purchase.

04:21.382 --> 04:27.216
[SPEAKER_01]: Before I get on that, I'm waiting until the 16th and I'm getting all three of them bad boys.

04:27.196 --> 04:40.854
[SPEAKER_01]: a wise man indeed absolutely now before we get into Scott Stauts on the elimination chamber from Saturday night because you heard myself and Paul Fontaine hold it down the Saturday giving all thoughts on the show.

04:41.274 --> 04:46.801
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do want to get into some NBA yackity act as we're talking about the standings as of right now.

04:46.861 --> 04:53.710
[SPEAKER_01]: First week of March, we are a little over a month away

04:53.690 --> 04:55.972
[SPEAKER_01]: this season is gone by so fast.

04:56.353 --> 04:58.435
[SPEAKER_01]: And here are the standings as of tonight.

04:58.936 --> 05:03.921
[SPEAKER_01]: Number one still are the Oklahoma City Thunder at 47 and 15.

05:03.961 --> 05:07.124
[SPEAKER_01]: The spurs number two, 43 and 17.

05:07.445 --> 05:09.647
[SPEAKER_01]: The rockets number three, 38 and 22.

05:09.747 --> 05:12.690
[SPEAKER_01]: The timber wolves number four, 38 and 23.

05:12.770 --> 05:15.353
[SPEAKER_01]: The nuggets number five, 37 and 24.

05:16.054 --> 05:17.976
[SPEAKER_01]: The Lakers, Scottslakers.

05:17.956 --> 05:40.453
[SPEAKER_01]: Number six right now 36 and 24 the sun 34 and 26 the warriors in the eighth spot 31 and 29 the clippers have made a climb still five and five in the last 10 28 and 31 and rounding out the top 10 the trailblazers who are 29 and 33 Scott your thoughts on the West.

05:43.184 --> 05:48.271
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's still just a shmoorish port when you get to three through seven.

05:48.351 --> 05:51.556
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's going to be all about matchups.

05:52.217 --> 06:00.688
[SPEAKER_03]: San Antonio and OKC seem to be a little bit of a class above everyone else, but yeah, matchups are going to really kind of define everything.

06:01.189 --> 06:02.130
[SPEAKER_03]: Shout out to the Lakers.

06:02.531 --> 06:03.733
[SPEAKER_03]: We're still holding strong.

06:04.754 --> 06:11.183
[SPEAKER_03]: We just got to stay out of that plan because Lord knows we will must

06:11.163 --> 06:17.532
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, guys, they are to play in, but yeah, I mean, I'm enjoying LeBron's bless season in LA.

06:18.433 --> 06:18.733
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

06:19.054 --> 06:25.002
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know what, we have to break this news because I think it's flown under the radar as of late.

06:25.363 --> 06:27.686
[SPEAKER_01]: LeBron has embraced baldness officially.

06:28.627 --> 06:30.209
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank God, he's let it go.

06:30.249 --> 06:36.478
[SPEAKER_01]: He let that so patch go after all this time and embrace the bald of it all.

06:38.264 --> 06:41.671
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he had really, he had no choice.

06:42.052 --> 06:48.124
[SPEAKER_03]: He's been trying to hold on to it for a little while, but Jason Bracen is Jordan now at 41.

06:49.247 --> 06:49.988
[SPEAKER_01]: That's good to see.

06:50.429 --> 06:54.197
[SPEAKER_01]: Took him 20 years to get there, but is good to see it long last.

06:54.363 --> 07:17.937
[SPEAKER_01]: As we get to the east and still a number one for now, probably for the rest of the season, the pistons who are 45 and 14, number two, the Celtics, 41 and 20, number three, the next 39 and 22, number four, the Cavaliers who are 38 and 24, the Raptors, number five, 35 and 25, the 76ers who are 33 and 27 and the six spot.

07:18.377 --> 07:22.463
[SPEAKER_01]: Number seven, the magic 31 and 28, the heat in the eighth spot,

07:22.443 --> 07:37.349
[SPEAKER_01]: 32 and 29 my lowly hawks are dead even if 531 and 31 and we have to talk about the surging improving Charlotte Hornet to our 30 and 31 and the 10th spot in the east.

07:39.853 --> 07:40.294
[SPEAKER_03]: No, we don't.

07:42.237 --> 07:46.645
[SPEAKER_03]: They'll be in the play and they'll get bounced in the first round if they do make.

07:46.861 --> 07:54.352
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a cool story, you know, it's cool, nobody, nobody's buying any stock in the, in the Hornet.

07:54.412 --> 07:55.093
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's that.

07:56.596 --> 07:57.497
[SPEAKER_03]: But I will say this.

07:58.258 --> 07:59.219
[SPEAKER_03]: I had everything you mentioned.

07:59.239 --> 08:05.629
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Philly's real dangerous scene to be playing down there.

08:06.470 --> 08:13.469
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, a 75% healthy and be the way edge combs kind of progress and tie resmax and play in the way he is.

08:13.529 --> 08:17.460
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's a dangerous team, but Detroit's still holding it down.

08:17.821 --> 08:21.812
[SPEAKER_03]: They got a shot and maybe having the best record in the league by another year.

08:21.792 --> 08:23.054
[SPEAKER_01]: which is very impressive.

08:23.114 --> 08:23.995
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I call it?

08:24.015 --> 08:25.998
[SPEAKER_01]: This was their year to surge up.

08:26.118 --> 08:38.636
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say for the Charlotte Hornets next year, there'll be the choice from two years ago and they'll keep surging and improving like it took a very long time, but the pieces have a simple, cannipples very good.

08:39.077 --> 08:41.120
[SPEAKER_01]: They got a shooter down there that can ball.

08:41.600 --> 08:42.482
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's good.

08:42.722 --> 08:47.068
[SPEAKER_01]: MJ has figured out NASCAR and apparently the Charlotte Hornets this season.

08:47.369 --> 08:51.715
[SPEAKER_01]: So clap claps for Michael Jordan,

08:54.007 --> 08:55.291
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he hadn't done the do it.

08:55.331 --> 09:00.165
[SPEAKER_03]: He'd engage a range of somebody else and he just got his name when everything so I ain't buying it for a minute.

09:00.707 --> 09:02.693
[SPEAKER_03]: As he said, he's trying to craft the Kwame Brown.

09:02.753 --> 09:04.819
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm not believing anything that he did.

09:04.899 --> 09:05.822
[SPEAKER_03]: He ain't do nothing.

09:06.663 --> 09:11.491
[SPEAKER_01]: Listen, he has learned to find art of delegation at this stage in the game.

09:11.551 --> 09:13.073
[SPEAKER_01]: You just delegate.

09:13.374 --> 09:17.360
[SPEAKER_01]: You hand off responsibilities and you just pay and cut the checks.

09:17.801 --> 09:20.025
[SPEAKER_01]: So you got to do as you're so responsibility.

09:20.345 --> 09:24.432
[SPEAKER_01]: Because we know he was no good as a president running the team day-to-day.

09:24.492 --> 09:25.333
[SPEAKER_01]: Just a big no-no.

09:25.514 --> 09:25.814
[SPEAKER_01]: OK.

09:26.355 --> 09:30.281
[SPEAKER_01]: When Charles Barclay said to the end of their friendship, they have not talked in 15 years.

09:30.382 --> 09:31.303
[SPEAKER_01]: So

09:31.283 --> 09:32.064
[SPEAKER_01]: was he wrong?

09:32.365 --> 09:34.108
[SPEAKER_01]: No, facts or facts on that.

09:34.689 --> 09:37.234
[SPEAKER_01]: But that is the NBA Yackity Act.

09:37.254 --> 09:48.134
[SPEAKER_01]: The conferences are tight, playoffs are in sight and I cannot wait to dive into that when we get into the heart of the NBA playoffs in a month's time.

09:48.274 --> 09:50.338
[SPEAKER_01]: But without further ado,

09:50.318 --> 09:53.362
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's take a seat, let's sit back and relax.

09:53.802 --> 09:57.988
[SPEAKER_01]: And let's talk about elimination chamber from Chicago.

09:58.388 --> 10:04.816
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's revisit that PLE, the last stop, the last major show before WrestleMania.

10:05.197 --> 10:11.605
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I talked about it on Saturday with my guy, Paul Fontaine, over an hour and a half, great conversation.

10:11.945 --> 10:20.055
[SPEAKER_01]: But there is one person who is yet to speak his mind about this show, to office full, unfiltered thoughts.

10:20.035 --> 10:21.041
[SPEAKER_01]: on this event.

10:21.925 --> 10:25.445
[SPEAKER_01]: I will now hand the floor to the one and only.

10:25.485 --> 10:27.818
[SPEAKER_01]: So, today, Scott Young.

10:30.498 --> 10:31.659
[SPEAKER_03]: get this won't take long.

10:32.521 --> 10:33.482
[SPEAKER_03]: But I'll tell you this much.

10:34.783 --> 10:40.371
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, they, they did a couple real nice things for Black History Month, Kiana James looked real good out there.

10:40.391 --> 10:44.175
[SPEAKER_03]: I would probably gave her a little bit more thought she looked real good.

10:44.996 --> 10:51.825
[SPEAKER_03]: And then, you know, they had they had a trick, Javan and Rahim all ganging up on Logan Hall.

10:52.106 --> 10:52.987
[SPEAKER_03]: So that was cool.

10:53.828 --> 10:55.149
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, all the brothers together.

10:55.210 --> 10:57.973
[SPEAKER_03]: And then they decided to eliminate.

10:58.122 --> 11:00.306
[SPEAKER_03]: the brother for the first elimination.

11:00.746 --> 11:05.134
[SPEAKER_03]: So we've officially slotted Javan into the old Kofi Kingston role.

11:05.334 --> 11:07.919
[SPEAKER_03]: That is officially his spot on the roster.

11:08.159 --> 11:09.401
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's that.

11:11.345 --> 11:15.271
[SPEAKER_03]: The finish of the the men's royal thought that was pretty good.

11:15.351 --> 11:16.894
[SPEAKER_03]: We've seen Randy has to take before.

11:16.934 --> 11:18.457
[SPEAKER_03]: It took advantage of it this time.

11:18.958 --> 11:20.400
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm with all that.

11:20.380 --> 11:22.804
[SPEAKER_03]: Seth Rollins revealed the crowd seemed to like it.

11:22.844 --> 11:23.505
[SPEAKER_03]: It's fine.

11:23.646 --> 11:24.667
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see what happens.

11:25.008 --> 11:33.402
[SPEAKER_03]: Especially after what happened on Raw, so we'll see if there is a group forming, or if it's just, you know, misdirection or whatever.

11:33.442 --> 11:34.304
[SPEAKER_03]: So that was fine.

11:35.165 --> 11:36.668
[SPEAKER_03]: AJ Lee and Becky Lynch,

11:38.200 --> 11:42.507
[SPEAKER_03]: It was better than what I was expecting, but it was still AJ Lee.

11:43.129 --> 11:47.095
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just not, it's not for me, man.

11:47.997 --> 11:53.847
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm kind of over the nostalgia active at all, but it was better than I thought it would be.

11:54.552 --> 11:57.236
[SPEAKER_03]: Not a fan of her kicking out of so much.

11:57.656 --> 12:01.642
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought she got a lot, but it is what it is.

12:02.182 --> 12:06.348
[SPEAKER_03]: Seeing a punk of her spend ballot, not as good as the first encounter, but it's still a thing.

12:06.368 --> 12:12.637
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a good match, spend ballot showing on a lot more baby face, fire, not calling the hell on the goons down.

12:13.257 --> 12:15.541
[SPEAKER_03]: So we'll see if that leads to something there.

12:16.402 --> 12:22.450
[SPEAKER_03]: And again, any time Randy Jordan is heading to the main event to a title match,

12:23.020 --> 12:26.243
[SPEAKER_03]: usually a good thing, but the only problem is his track record.

12:27.044 --> 12:28.705
[SPEAKER_03]: He's does have a couple of duds.

12:28.725 --> 12:42.859
[SPEAKER_03]: He's wrestling in his 25 or triple age where they decided to make it a whoever gets these qualified losers even though he can cuffs triple age his wife and kisser in front of them and dropped it with a DDT, but you want to make it so you can't de-cue, doesn't make any sense.

12:43.179 --> 12:45.221
[SPEAKER_03]: And then he also had the moment we had the sperm following him.

12:45.281 --> 12:51.947
[SPEAKER_03]: So hopefully we don't do anything stupid like that would Randy, you know, and then this big main event that's coming

12:51.927 --> 13:00.540
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a fine show, definitely could have been a power point beyond us with you could have easily just been a slide show, but it is what it is.

13:01.761 --> 13:03.504
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, a slide show.

13:03.544 --> 13:04.866
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.

13:04.926 --> 13:05.267
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.

13:05.287 --> 13:05.707
[SPEAKER_01]: One more thing.

13:05.807 --> 13:06.268
[SPEAKER_01]: One more thing.

13:06.529 --> 13:06.649
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

13:06.889 --> 13:10.454
[SPEAKER_02]: And we got Dan housing.

13:10.615 --> 13:12.157
[SPEAKER_02]: So it is dancers.

13:12.978 --> 13:14.340
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's.

13:14.759 --> 13:15.481
[SPEAKER_02]: There's that.

13:15.741 --> 13:16.182
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.

13:16.202 --> 13:17.064
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all I want to say.

13:17.264 --> 13:18.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Hammond is dancing for the air.

13:19.389 --> 13:27.427
[SPEAKER_01]: So you have no extensive thoughts on den housing and the den housing that's out there for the world to see.

13:27.447 --> 13:31.515
[SPEAKER_03]: Nah, man.

13:31.656 --> 13:34.101
[SPEAKER_03]: I, I will say this though.

13:34.250 --> 13:36.733
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's going to do really well in WWE.

13:37.454 --> 13:46.085
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, he may not have any classic matches, but I think he could have a very long career in WWE and make a good amount of money.

13:47.186 --> 13:49.028
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll be bound to full and fruitful for sure.

13:49.469 --> 14:02.485
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that the debut had some pushback for some fans, but we have to give WWE credit for even picking up the phone and calling Dan House and for a job

14:02.465 --> 14:05.889
[SPEAKER_01]: they see some value in him to be a great comedy figure.

14:06.189 --> 14:07.230
[SPEAKER_01]: He can move merch.

14:07.531 --> 14:13.738
[SPEAKER_01]: You can use him in spots where he's effective that can get over in a way that will entertain the people without doing too much.

14:13.758 --> 14:15.740
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lane and triple lay for him as well.

14:15.860 --> 14:29.215
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think it was a smart hire by WWE brazen of them to call and even say, hey, here's an offer to even pitch the idea of having him in the company is remarkable because I did not have that on my bingo card at all.

14:29.195 --> 14:32.699
[SPEAKER_01]: But 2026, so good for them for taking a risk.

14:32.719 --> 14:36.304
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it probably gets pushed back behind the scenes and some fans will away about it.

14:36.725 --> 14:47.378
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do commend WWE for actually faking outside the box and taking a creative risk on someone that is so not their brand and WWE in terms of marketing.

14:49.521 --> 14:51.103
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I grew to on that.

14:51.183 --> 14:57.531
[SPEAKER_03]: And I mean, I think it'll be great, especially come like Halloween and all that stuff.

14:58.034 --> 15:03.154
[SPEAKER_03]: I think ADW could have done a lot more with him, especially being on like cable TV and stuff like that.

15:03.214 --> 15:04.600
[SPEAKER_03]: Like with the specials that they run.

15:05.142 --> 15:05.985
[SPEAKER_03]: So I...

15:06.674 --> 15:35.584
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's a missed opportunity if they don't involve him with some Netflix type stuff and you know all that so I I think he'll do great like I don't he's I don't they could be like a main event guy or when any world titles, but I I just think he will fit right on in with some of the goofier things they've done and I Like you said triple A is is right up his alley to is plenty he can she can literally show up anywhere and it can be just his kind of thing so I

15:36.644 --> 15:45.186
[SPEAKER_03]: The debut wasn't the big splash like everybody wanted, but I think Dan Housing himself will do just fine.

15:45.790 --> 15:48.774
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree as well as we get to some of Fernando's comments.

15:49.354 --> 15:51.497
[SPEAKER_01]: Hiana is going to be a main eventer.

15:52.038 --> 15:54.100
[SPEAKER_01]: And a few years, I do agree with you there.

15:54.140 --> 15:55.802
[SPEAKER_01]: They do see something in Kiana.

15:56.283 --> 15:57.624
[SPEAKER_01]: And I do as well.

15:57.825 --> 16:07.276
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw that when she was on NXT a few years ago, the injury obviously set things back a bit, but I have high hopes that she'll get over on the main roster and do time.

16:07.616 --> 16:10.600
[SPEAKER_01]: I do think she needs just a character revamp the,

16:10.580 --> 16:15.046
[SPEAKER_01]: Business thing, gimmick, the CEO thing with the bag.

16:15.427 --> 16:18.992
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to retool that a bit because it does scream in XT2.0.

16:19.333 --> 16:20.815
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the era she came from.

16:21.135 --> 16:23.298
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's kind of revamp that presentation.

16:23.719 --> 16:24.801
[SPEAKER_01]: And she should be good.

16:25.201 --> 16:28.506
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the one thing I would want them to work on in WWE.

16:28.686 --> 16:30.969
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I feel like that gimmick screams.

16:31.030 --> 16:34.815
[SPEAKER_01]: Era upon era ago to quote Paula Beck.

16:37.023 --> 16:47.635
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, unless she takes it to another level like unless if she's going to do the CEO type gimmick, then she needs to have people who are under her working for her.

16:47.675 --> 16:52.521
[SPEAKER_03]: She needs to have her own kind of faction and kind of be running things and do it that way.

16:52.601 --> 16:54.403
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm with you either.

16:54.423 --> 17:02.372
[SPEAKER_03]: She needs to kind of change it up a little bit or she just needs to just be a boss and just have

17:02.352 --> 17:07.602
[SPEAKER_03]: people working for her, have her little goons and whatever, whether it be men or women.

17:07.943 --> 17:12.311
[SPEAKER_03]: If she does that, that could work and fit in with the gimmick.

17:12.331 --> 17:20.968
[SPEAKER_03]: She doesn't just kind of take it to a no level, but she definitely needs a bit of a revamp, either something new or just a really expand and just go all in on it.

17:20.948 --> 17:21.951
[SPEAKER_01]: absolutely.

17:22.472 --> 17:28.869
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we have Fernando tapping in with Rhea is going to put us out of our misery in Jay's Tatarana, Rasmania.

17:29.391 --> 17:36.831
[SPEAKER_01]: So it will be Rhea Ripley versus Jay Caragill for the WWE with Miss Championship at Rasmania 42.

17:36.811 --> 18:06.042
[SPEAKER_01]: And things have gone off to a fascinating start on social media because they know that if you're trying to lobby and you're trying to put yourself in a better position in a WrestleMania to possibly mean a vina night of WrestleMania, it won't be night two, but I do think night one is still wide open for the taking, then you have to, I don't know, try to promote myself and put your feet out there.

18:06.022 --> 18:08.886
[SPEAKER_01]: So they took it to the Twitter streets on Sunday.

18:09.707 --> 18:13.391
[SPEAKER_01]: And apparently things got real personal very quickly.

18:13.932 --> 18:28.030
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it got elevated with more people getting involved from Chelsea Green, to Piper, Nevin, to Naya, Jackson, to subliminals, post on IG, the people being unfollowed on IG, like,

18:28.010 --> 18:54.287
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what's going on behind the scenes in the women's locker room on SmackDown, but that'll make a fascinating episode of WWE Unreal because you're trying to promote this match, trying to give it some edge, some personal animosity, and it's going to be a big test on Friday and I SmackDown with Rhea and Jade face to face because they have to take the Twitter beef that's all in written form and translate it face to face

18:54.267 --> 19:15.768
[SPEAKER_01]: Mike to Mike and tell me sell me on why you should have a premier spot at WrestleMania for this championship because tweeting is one thing I need you to sell me verbally face to face make me believe it because we know what happened last year we're Charlotte and Tiffany that went off the rails very, very quickly.

19:15.788 --> 19:20.713
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I am.

19:21.487 --> 19:25.274
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know, Ria's not really like a dominant talker like that either.

19:25.294 --> 19:32.708
[SPEAKER_03]: She's not not bad about any stretch of the imagination, but she's not somebody's going to come out and cut this killer promo when you're like, man, that was it.

19:33.008 --> 19:38.719
[SPEAKER_03]: She's not and I haven't heard Jade really cut the killer promo either.

19:40.201 --> 19:55.746
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I think this is probably going to, I think it's going to be a lot like Charlotte and Tiffany and they were going to get some awkward moments, they're going to try to go really go in on each other and then we'll see what the match looks like, but you know, I

19:57.160 --> 19:58.121
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't have high hopes.

19:58.642 --> 20:00.224
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think it'll be bad by any stretch.

20:00.284 --> 20:07.153
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I think it'll probably be one of Jay's better matches because I think Ria's that good and I think Ria really cares about her.

20:07.393 --> 20:12.520
[SPEAKER_03]: Like she has a misressel mania type legacy at WrestleMania as far as match quality goes.

20:12.941 --> 20:14.543
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think she really cares about that.

20:15.184 --> 20:16.966
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see if Jay can keep up with her.

20:19.269 --> 20:23.995
[SPEAKER_03]: But I don't think this has a chance of main eventing night one.

20:23.975 --> 20:27.484
[SPEAKER_03]: Rainier and Drew, we know Cody's going to get involved or easy.

20:27.504 --> 20:30.050
[SPEAKER_03]: They're going to win the match or he's going to get involved in Fox 2.

20:31.093 --> 20:38.592
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think this match has a chance of main abitting and just a bit more so because I just don't think they have the faith in the quality of the match.

20:39.483 --> 20:41.526
[SPEAKER_01]: is going to be determined for sure.

20:41.847 --> 20:43.489
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say this.

20:44.270 --> 20:45.332
[SPEAKER_01]: Anything is possible.

20:46.053 --> 20:47.495
[SPEAKER_01]: They have six weeks to sell it.

20:48.276 --> 20:52.022
[SPEAKER_01]: Moment of concern on a dime to see what is the hot or machining to WrestleMania.

20:52.483 --> 20:56.809
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, we have the pre-late out, Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton match.

20:56.829 --> 21:01.356
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the Drew defense

21:01.336 --> 21:06.585
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see a title switch happening because I see Jacob Fattu getting involved in maybe Sammy Zayn as well.

21:06.605 --> 21:12.154
[SPEAKER_01]: It could be a fatal fullway or a fatal five-way at WrestleMania when it comes to Jade and Rhea.

21:12.174 --> 21:16.982
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Rhea has to tap into what Charlotte Follaire used to do.

21:16.962 --> 21:24.370
[SPEAKER_01]: at a WrestleMania or any show when she was looked at as you ain't gonna do what you need to do and she did it.

21:24.810 --> 21:29.855
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be on her to lead this match to be the veteran that she is.

21:30.216 --> 21:37.503
[SPEAKER_01]: Because as you said, she has a WrestleMania resume that is pretty darn impressive, especially in the last few years.

21:37.863 --> 21:46.412
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're gonna be leading this match as the challenger

21:46.392 --> 21:47.194
[SPEAKER_01]: top that.

21:47.675 --> 21:49.099
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, surely can do it last.

21:49.119 --> 21:53.089
[SPEAKER_01]: You're against Tiffany unfortunately, but read that's got to be your mentality.

21:53.109 --> 22:01.650
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you got to be the one to say top that because now you are in the position of leading someone to a

22:01.630 --> 22:19.550
[SPEAKER_01]: good to very good, potentially great match of WrestleMania and it's going to be on you to bring out that fire in Jade and in some ways on the microphone, bring out that fire within yourself because you got a dig deeper than you have ever dug deep before to get this over.

22:19.871 --> 22:20.432
[SPEAKER_01]: Cause.

22:20.412 --> 22:26.920
[SPEAKER_01]: I could see it with you in Bianca Belair, and they're holding that thing all for a very long time, and that's already ready made.

22:26.940 --> 22:33.187
[SPEAKER_01]: But now you in this position where Bianca technically should have been for this or WrestleMania, you got to sell it.

22:33.528 --> 22:36.592
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to step up because others have done it for you.

22:37.152 --> 22:40.757
[SPEAKER_01]: Now you got to do it for someone else and ultimately for yourself as well.

22:43.200 --> 22:45.222
[SPEAKER_03]: All that is true, but

22:45.488 --> 22:53.596
[SPEAKER_03]: Rear Ripley was also on the other end of those things, and she has shown that she was more than ready for those spots for those moments.

22:56.459 --> 22:58.881
[SPEAKER_03]: We will see if Jay can answer the call.

22:59.182 --> 23:07.730
[SPEAKER_03]: I, Jayden Rear are very different as far as quality and, and I'm a big Jay fan.

23:07.911 --> 23:11.354
[SPEAKER_03]: I, I think, booked correctly and stuff like that.

23:11.414 --> 23:14.297
[SPEAKER_03]: She could be dominant a powerhouse to where she is.

23:15.425 --> 23:21.531
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's a, a tall task to kind of flip that.

23:21.571 --> 23:32.022
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I agree with you on the rear is going to have to bring her work and boots and do do the Charlotte was Charlotte did for her and stuff like that, but that was still re-arripped on the other end of that.

23:32.162 --> 23:35.065
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't, I don't know if Jade is going to have that in her.

23:35.245 --> 23:36.166
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see though.

23:36.186 --> 23:37.187
[SPEAKER_03]: I would like to be wrong.

23:37.267 --> 23:40.150
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope to be wrong, but I just don't know if she has that.

23:42.053 --> 23:45.961
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to see, we're going to learn a whole lot in the next six weeks.

23:45.981 --> 23:59.470
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to learn something on Friday, for sure, because this could either be great or go all the rails very fast, and we'll see it on season four of WWE unreal covering the road to WrestleMania 42.

24:00.332 --> 24:01.294
[SPEAKER_01]: So,

24:01.274 --> 24:06.842
[SPEAKER_01]: Fernando says, Rhea has to win Jay's title reign has been a failure, but at the same time, who's fault is that?

24:07.042 --> 24:13.311
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not blaming Jay and I'm blaming creative because they fell her title run by giving her nothing 400 plus days.

24:13.951 --> 24:17.777
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's on them to now make up 400 plus days in seven weeks.

24:18.397 --> 24:20.420
[SPEAKER_01]: And Rhea Ripley's in that spot.

24:20.861 --> 24:23.164
[SPEAKER_01]: And she has to step up.

24:23.144 --> 24:27.811
[SPEAKER_01]: and get Jay over in a way that says, hey, she can be on my level.

24:27.871 --> 24:36.823
[SPEAKER_01]: And we can make this a marquee matcha WrestleMania is the tall order to supplement the guys in that spot.

24:37.424 --> 24:38.306
[SPEAKER_01]: But we shall see.

24:40.809 --> 24:41.330
[SPEAKER_03]: We shall see.

24:41.530 --> 24:41.750
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

24:43.633 --> 24:45.215
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all on, I think it's all on Jay.

24:45.616 --> 24:46.938
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all on Jay.

24:47.058 --> 24:48.560
[SPEAKER_03]: But we'll see if she got it.

24:48.600 --> 24:50.603
[SPEAKER_03]: If she got that dog

24:51.123 --> 24:52.126
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think she does.

24:52.206 --> 24:54.552
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's one place to do it online.

24:55.114 --> 24:56.216
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to do it on the mic.

24:56.257 --> 25:05.200
[SPEAKER_01]: We're seeing glimmers of it in AEW, but if this is smoke you want, and this is the best we got to WrestleMania, and you are against one of the best.

25:05.534 --> 25:10.340
[SPEAKER_01]: It's time to deliver, because right here right now, this is your moment.

25:10.720 --> 25:12.022
[SPEAKER_01]: Got to take advantage of it for sure.

25:12.863 --> 25:27.981
[SPEAKER_01]: And with that, let's dive into tonight's episode of Monday Night Raw, going down live from Scott's favorite city in Indianapolis, Indiana, Scott says no, because every time he's chasing Indiana, I have to go in and say that's his favorite city in America.

25:27.961 --> 25:30.388
[SPEAKER_01]: but it was fallout from elimination chamber.

25:30.889 --> 25:42.882
[SPEAKER_01]: And we had Paul Hayman and was left of the vision come out to basically call out Seth Rollins for what happened on Saturday and Adam Scrap Daddy Pierce is like, uh, yeah.

25:43.807 --> 25:46.132
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll talk to Seth later about it.

25:46.593 --> 25:47.575
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's security.

25:47.876 --> 25:49.058
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get all not here.

25:49.820 --> 26:00.482
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, as he's telling the vision to leave, we have several max- hooded figures come out to distract.

26:00.462 --> 26:28.866
[SPEAKER_01]: Logan Paul and Austin Theory and they chase after the doppelgangers and then Paul Hayman is all alone and one doppelganger comes out to the ringside area and spooks Paul Hayman and then the real guy the true blue Seth Rollins comes out and he pulls a shield from now almost 13 years ago now time flies so fast and he pulls out a still chair and he smacks Paul Hayman in the back

26:28.846 --> 26:39.760
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he curbs Thompson, beautiful chefs kiss, and then after that Paul Hayman is a bloody mess in the back of an ambulance.

26:40.381 --> 26:47.069
[SPEAKER_01]: And as he's getting rolled away, we have awesome theory get jumped by Jimu Uso.

26:47.570 --> 26:49.032
[SPEAKER_01]: And in a great,

26:49.012 --> 26:50.113
[SPEAKER_01]: site gag.

26:50.433 --> 26:59.122
[SPEAKER_01]: We have LA night driving the ambulance sending Paul Hayman to parts unknown to not get medical treatment.

26:59.482 --> 27:00.724
[SPEAKER_01]: The man has been kidnapped.

27:01.044 --> 27:03.186
[SPEAKER_01]: Michael Cole telling us his man would take us to the hospital.

27:03.567 --> 27:05.048
[SPEAKER_01]: You think are you sure?

27:05.108 --> 27:08.071
[SPEAKER_01]: Michael is he really a hospital?

27:08.451 --> 27:08.712
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

27:08.932 --> 27:14.057
[SPEAKER_01]: He's at a

27:17.395 --> 27:21.321
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this was, uh, this was definitely triple H's idea.

27:21.341 --> 27:23.785
[SPEAKER_03]: I could tell you that this is something that he would have done back in the day.

27:24.346 --> 27:26.489
[SPEAKER_03]: As or as a professional, as a wrestler.

27:26.509 --> 27:27.851
[SPEAKER_03]: This is this is one of his moves.

27:28.613 --> 27:33.801
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, there was cool for what it was Seth Rollins with the Mr. Rex and the different mass men.

27:34.822 --> 27:36.585
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, he gets,

27:36.650 --> 27:39.855
[SPEAKER_03]: Hello, I want to one thing about Indian habits real quick.

27:39.875 --> 27:40.596
[SPEAKER_03]: I will say this.

27:41.478 --> 27:43.280
[SPEAKER_03]: There are better than that land of crowdwork.

27:43.360 --> 27:44.142
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll give him max.

27:44.462 --> 27:46.085
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I could definitely say that.

27:46.145 --> 27:49.730
[SPEAKER_03]: I've got a big Indian habits fair, but they at least made some noise tonight.

27:52.314 --> 27:54.778
[SPEAKER_03]: Seth Rollins, this was cool.

27:54.838 --> 27:57.042
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't see Paul Hayman get beat up that often.

27:57.102 --> 28:00.447
[SPEAKER_03]: So it kind of packed a punch and

28:02.249 --> 28:03.270
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, awesome.

28:03.290 --> 28:03.871
[SPEAKER_03]: Very spoke.

28:04.892 --> 28:07.776
[SPEAKER_03]: Nobody cared and we move on.

28:09.178 --> 28:09.718
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what?

28:11.040 --> 28:24.977
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to talk about Scott's turn on one awesome theory because he sat here on this show on several occasions as that man's advocate and told the world he has a great story.

28:25.879 --> 28:28.662
[SPEAKER_01]: He has what it takes to be a great baby face.

28:28.642 --> 28:43.900
[SPEAKER_01]: as would it takes to be a star in WWE and he came back with that future sex love sounds haircut from Justin Timberlake and he is absolutely flopped ever since and now I question Paul Hammond's eye for talent.

28:43.880 --> 28:46.606
[SPEAKER_01]: at this stage in his career, because I don't see it.

28:47.188 --> 28:54.004
[SPEAKER_01]: I've tried to see it now granted when he was an NXT, five or six years ago with the way he was a lovable dumbass.

28:54.385 --> 28:57.231
[SPEAKER_01]: He was a lovable, charismatic dumbass.

28:57.552 --> 29:00.960
[SPEAKER_01]: But when you try to sell me as a heel,

29:00.940 --> 29:01.901
[SPEAKER_01]: in a work in.

29:02.282 --> 29:03.423
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll never work.

29:03.443 --> 29:04.424
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just a guy.

29:04.684 --> 29:06.086
[SPEAKER_01]: He will always be a guy.

29:06.526 --> 29:11.272
[SPEAKER_01]: John Cena told us this three years ago, you will beat me at WrestleMania and what?

29:11.432 --> 29:13.274
[SPEAKER_01]: What difference will it make for your career?

29:13.554 --> 29:14.776
[SPEAKER_01]: Not a damn thing.

29:15.116 --> 29:16.137
[SPEAKER_01]: So we are where we are.

29:16.157 --> 29:18.300
[SPEAKER_01]: And it is what it is.

29:18.820 --> 29:19.821
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've accepted that.

29:20.282 --> 29:24.567
[SPEAKER_01]: And Logan Paul gets you some sacred hair conditioner because your hair is a mess.

29:25.368 --> 29:26.509
[SPEAKER_01]: And you still suck.

29:28.328 --> 29:30.272
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I don't put any of this on Austin theory.

29:30.412 --> 29:37.166
[SPEAKER_03]: If you if you bring a guy back as creator wrestling number 36, then that's how people were going to treat him like creator wrestling number 36.

29:37.346 --> 29:43.519
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't like the host, the selfie gimmick was cool when he was knocking people out in town.

29:43.718 --> 30:10.182
[SPEAKER_03]: He can sell these wood on him and he had to little attack on Titan Gringo and on like that was cool he had his little thing going right so I don't put that on Austin theory they did him no favors I still think he's over talented but you know when when you try to bring sexy back and you're you just a creative wrestler it doesn't it's a bad combination not number 36

30:10.651 --> 30:13.561
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he ain't in top 10.

30:13.742 --> 30:17.796
[SPEAKER_02]: He was the 36 wrestler created on somebody's career to wrestle a profile.

30:17.817 --> 30:20.205
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, what do we do it?

30:20.489 --> 30:23.374
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh man, my career has no career.

30:23.414 --> 30:24.996
[SPEAKER_01]: That's where he is, unfortunately.

30:25.056 --> 30:27.300
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, I feel bad for him.

30:27.320 --> 30:32.969
[SPEAKER_01]: I do, but Lord, at some point, you have to wake up and realize, what could I do to fix this?

30:33.009 --> 30:36.274
[SPEAKER_01]: What could I do to help myself and right now?

30:36.735 --> 30:38.157
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not doing much, you know?

30:38.197 --> 30:42.885
[SPEAKER_01]: It's unfortunate to see, and then Fernando being facetious, rest in peace, Paul Hayman.

30:42.865 --> 30:50.874
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, at this point, when you see that the vision is very blurry at this point and you have no vision, you might want to jump out of the faction.

30:51.034 --> 30:55.239
[SPEAKER_01]: You might want to reassess and kind of decide who you want to let yourself on to next.

30:55.779 --> 31:00.945
[SPEAKER_01]: And Fernando also knows that he is last himself on to Flops before Hello Curtis Axel.

31:01.085 --> 31:01.706
[SPEAKER_01]: That is true.

31:02.507 --> 31:11.016
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not perfect in terms of selecting the future of the business.

31:13.190 --> 31:24.323
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I was actually at the, at the Raw or Curtis Axle and Triple H had a match and Triple H all of a sudden couldn't walk anymore, so at the water all over his face, so there's that.

31:25.024 --> 31:27.967
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Lord, and then Lady B. Hello, Ms. Lady B.

31:28.047 --> 31:28.928
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to the chat.

31:29.369 --> 31:35.596
[SPEAKER_01]: And she circles back to Stephanie and Liv, being in a similar situation of WrestleMania regarding their feud.

31:35.636 --> 31:37.138
[SPEAKER_01]: And

31:37.118 --> 31:46.589
[SPEAKER_01]: It is a tough situation because you're trying to build something from the roots up in seven weeks, also jockeying for that night, one WrestleMania spot.

31:47.029 --> 31:54.518
[SPEAKER_01]: Scott, what were your thoughts on lives promo tonight and the verbiage of saying, hey, you come from here and I'm way up here.

31:55.279 --> 32:04.189
[SPEAKER_01]: It's very classest of her, but at the same time, is it going to add any juice to this field, heading into WrestleMania?

32:04.642 --> 32:08.708
[SPEAKER_03]: No, the promo was fine, the verbiage was good.

32:08.809 --> 32:10.752
[SPEAKER_03]: I think this is what Liv needs to do.

32:11.313 --> 32:14.578
[SPEAKER_03]: We need to have defined baby face heel type stuff.

32:15.319 --> 32:16.761
[SPEAKER_03]: But I don't think it's going to make a difference.

32:17.162 --> 32:18.184
[SPEAKER_03]: I will say this though.

32:18.644 --> 32:22.490
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a lot more faith in this match quality than I do reagate.

32:22.851 --> 32:23.612
[SPEAKER_03]: I will say that.

32:24.253 --> 32:29.822
[SPEAKER_03]: But I don't, this match I think is destined to be in the middle of the card.

32:30.680 --> 32:36.231
[SPEAKER_01]: yeah, but I do have way more faith in the wrestling aspect of it as well because live is very good.

32:36.271 --> 32:38.375
[SPEAKER_01]: Stephanie is also very good.

32:38.415 --> 32:41.882
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that I think they can have a great wrestling match.

32:41.982 --> 32:45.790
[SPEAKER_01]: Now the wild card in this is going to be unfortunately dumb.

32:45.870 --> 32:47.052
[SPEAKER_01]: And I love dumb, but

32:48.061 --> 32:49.124
[SPEAKER_01]: I want them away from this.

32:49.265 --> 32:54.822
[SPEAKER_01]: I want the ladies to sell this more so than having this be pushed on a bit by Dominic.

32:54.962 --> 33:02.425
[SPEAKER_01]: Just keep them to the wayside, let live in Stephanie Cook and just tell the story the way they should with six weeks to go.

33:06.269 --> 33:12.056
[SPEAKER_03]: I still want Donna stuff any to end up together and then live just gets left in dust.

33:12.156 --> 33:17.042
[SPEAKER_01]: That's still my hope how to all this is very possible swears do happen at WrestleMania.

33:17.663 --> 33:18.324
[SPEAKER_01]: It happens.

33:18.785 --> 33:19.485
[SPEAKER_01]: I've witnessed it.

33:20.046 --> 33:25.213
[SPEAKER_01]: I've loved it and hated it all at the same time, but it makes for a good story if it's done properly.

33:25.233 --> 33:28.176
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Fernando says, I have faith in Austin Theory.

33:28.657 --> 33:32.642
[SPEAKER_01]: It looked like Drew was a lost cause when he was in that faction led by he's later.

33:33.303 --> 33:35.145
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know who?

33:35.311 --> 33:39.680
[SPEAKER_01]: don't hinder gender, but hey, Drew had to leave.

33:39.740 --> 33:42.225
[SPEAKER_01]: He got cut by WWE, but you know what?

33:42.586 --> 33:50.202
[SPEAKER_01]: He bet on himself went on the independence, went to TNA, and he rediscovered his purpose.

33:50.302 --> 33:51.284
[SPEAKER_01]: He got over.

33:51.424 --> 33:54.391
[SPEAKER_01]: He got better, and he came back as a bigger star.

33:54.511 --> 33:55.092
[SPEAKER_01]: So,

33:55.072 --> 34:01.317
[SPEAKER_01]: If Austin Theory has to possibly get cut by WWE and go on this excursion to find his purpose.

34:01.718 --> 34:02.298
[SPEAKER_01]: So be it.

34:02.338 --> 34:06.602
[SPEAKER_01]: But right now he's been in this system for well over five years now.

34:06.942 --> 34:15.670
[SPEAKER_01]: He was brought up doing the pandemic with nobody was there brought back down to NXT, called up with the Faber J Egg and ever since then he's been floating him and adoring around.

34:16.050 --> 34:24.117
[SPEAKER_01]: For years and now he's in this faction with people who are hurt right now and you're being

34:24.755 --> 34:26.642
[SPEAKER_01]: That's where we are with Austin Theory.

34:27.144 --> 34:35.777
[SPEAKER_01]: So I just wonder, does he need to leave, get a change of scenery and find out what makes you tick as a wrestler and a man?

34:38.626 --> 34:39.667
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think he needs to get cut.

34:39.687 --> 34:41.189
[SPEAKER_03]: There's plenty of place for him to go.

34:41.209 --> 34:42.971
[SPEAKER_03]: He could do triple lay.

34:42.991 --> 34:44.492
[SPEAKER_03]: He can still go to TNA.

34:44.532 --> 34:45.754
[SPEAKER_03]: He can go back to NXT.

34:46.795 --> 34:48.657
[SPEAKER_03]: He probably just needs to be off TV for a little bit.

34:48.677 --> 34:49.057
[SPEAKER_03]: That's all.

34:49.217 --> 34:55.143
[SPEAKER_03]: And just come back six, seven months down the road when everybody forgot about you and just try it again.

34:56.725 --> 34:57.646
[SPEAKER_01]: Which ain't hard to do.

34:59.308 --> 35:00.749
[SPEAKER_01]: Because we go over and remember him right now.

35:00.789 --> 35:01.190
[SPEAKER_01]: Not many.

35:01.770 --> 35:03.893
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, seriously, he was gone for six months.

35:05.354 --> 35:06.135
[SPEAKER_01]: He

35:07.516 --> 35:08.017
[SPEAKER_01]: I won't.

35:08.377 --> 35:08.678
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure.

35:09.579 --> 35:11.021
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, let's say he grows hair back.

35:11.041 --> 35:11.702
[SPEAKER_01]: He can do that.

35:12.403 --> 35:13.845
[SPEAKER_01]: Chitchitchachia, he can do that.

35:13.905 --> 35:17.269
[SPEAKER_01]: He can do that and come back and be the same guy it was before.

35:17.690 --> 35:20.314
[SPEAKER_01]: And he'll step up a few rankings and create a roster.

35:20.334 --> 35:23.178
[SPEAKER_01]: He'll be create a roster number 16 when he grows his hair back.

35:25.040 --> 35:26.262
[SPEAKER_01]: He'll move up to any spot.

35:27.243 --> 35:35.835
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, then he'll be in my career mode trying to find

35:38.988 --> 35:43.136
[SPEAKER_01]: So sorry for that man, but you know, I had to do it.

35:43.156 --> 35:44.117
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just he's right there.

35:44.819 --> 35:45.981
[SPEAKER_01]: But and happy your news.

35:46.041 --> 35:51.912
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about a great match that should have been on elimination chamber versus dad house's debut.

35:52.393 --> 35:54.457
[SPEAKER_01]: It was gummed their versus dragonly.

35:54.877 --> 35:57.402
[SPEAKER_01]: What a great professional wrestling match.

35:58.175 --> 36:19.170
[SPEAKER_01]: Dragon Lee, they paid him his money, been balling out, showing out, love that for him, gumter, one of the best in WWE point blank period, and in a great stat that was revealed by the announcers, in non-title matches, since being called up to the main roster,

36:19.150 --> 36:22.233
[SPEAKER_01]: gunther remains unfeded.

36:22.713 --> 36:33.103
[SPEAKER_01]: So when you spell out that stat, the odds of you beat a gunther on this night of very low, but they gave great teases, they gave you a false hope, maybe a cannot victory, maybe a surprise pinfall.

36:33.443 --> 36:36.906
[SPEAKER_01]: But ultimately, gunther was able to get the upper hand.

36:37.306 --> 36:49.157
[SPEAKER_01]: He was able to power bomb dragon Lee and then apply the sleeper and then remove the mask to

36:49.137 --> 36:52.804
[SPEAKER_01]: a period of time before finally letting go, but I love the back of earth action.

36:52.824 --> 36:54.427
[SPEAKER_01]: Dragon Lee is amazing.

36:54.467 --> 36:56.130
[SPEAKER_01]: Gunther is a great story teller as well.

36:56.671 --> 37:00.718
[SPEAKER_01]: And now we see what lies ahead for Gunther heading into WrestleMania.

37:01.159 --> 37:02.802
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope and praise the good opponent.

37:05.387 --> 37:09.154
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, strong way to start the show as far as in ring.

37:10.180 --> 37:18.715
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this was the reason it's not on the nation chain because it would have overshadowed everything else on the show, but this was a really strong wrong.

37:18.935 --> 37:26.228
[SPEAKER_03]: I would wish they would have gave them a little bit more time, but Dragon Lee, man, they know what they have in him.

37:26.288 --> 37:35.243
[SPEAKER_03]: They just they won't get behind them for some reason, but as far as in Ringo, he's he's one of the best they got and I'm glad they got a dominant win.

37:35.324 --> 37:35.804
[SPEAKER_01]: Me too.

37:36.145 --> 37:38.787
[SPEAKER_01]: I wish they would push regularly more because he's special.

37:39.488 --> 37:40.329
[SPEAKER_01]: He's really good.

37:40.429 --> 37:44.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Got over with the crowd last night, Indiana, like listen, Indiana, greater than Atlanta.

37:45.454 --> 37:47.696
[SPEAKER_01]: On this night, it was because the crowd was invested.

37:47.716 --> 37:49.418
[SPEAKER_01]: They were chanting for his name.

37:49.498 --> 37:50.779
[SPEAKER_01]: They said this was awesome.

37:50.799 --> 37:52.921
[SPEAKER_01]: They were hot from beginning to end.

37:52.941 --> 37:55.524
[SPEAKER_01]: They were biting on the nail falls, hoping for an upset.

37:55.904 --> 38:00.329
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how you bring the crowd in and give them a reason to care, which I appreciate.

38:00.869 --> 38:02.631
[SPEAKER_01]: Do we have AJ Lee coming out?

38:02.982 --> 38:11.951
[SPEAKER_01]: to celebrate her icy title victory over Becky Lynch this past Saturday at Eliminate Chamber and she's ready to be a fighting champion, ready to accept all comers.

38:12.471 --> 38:19.778
[SPEAKER_01]: And next week that will lead to a gauntlet match where the winner will face AJ Lee at a date in time to be determined.

38:20.399 --> 38:32.871
[SPEAKER_01]: And people in this match include Bailey Lyra Ivy Nile, okay, Rodriguez, the perennial losers of Monday and

38:33.121 --> 38:35.765
[SPEAKER_01]: in 2026, joy.

38:38.148 --> 38:41.814
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, she wants to be a fighting champion, but won't defend her title tonight.

38:42.275 --> 38:47.462
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you ain't trying to be a fighting champion at bad.

38:47.522 --> 38:49.245
[SPEAKER_03]: The promo was fine.

38:50.146 --> 38:54.172
[SPEAKER_03]: It was just your basic, I won the title.

38:54.312 --> 39:02.925
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm here, I'm a baby face, so I'm gonna be a fighting champion, but I don't know when I'll be back to defend my title.

39:03.142 --> 39:03.904
[SPEAKER_03]: it was fine.

39:04.165 --> 39:09.502
[SPEAKER_03]: I, I guess I said, I'm kind of over the AJ Lee thing doesn't really do a lot for me.

39:09.522 --> 39:11.167
[SPEAKER_03]: I've got my fix.

39:11.227 --> 39:13.394
[SPEAKER_03]: She was in the ring for 20 minutes the other night.

39:13.695 --> 39:15.801
[SPEAKER_03]: That's more than enough AJ Lee for me.

39:17.519 --> 39:19.501
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I still enjoy it.

39:20.322 --> 39:25.148
[SPEAKER_01]: So have some life left in it, which I'm looking for it to.

39:25.308 --> 39:26.870
[SPEAKER_01]: And the match is Fernando Sicca to Ben.

39:27.330 --> 39:34.719
[SPEAKER_01]: And rest of Mania, Katinda Mash, but we know that's not gonna be the case because Becky Lynch is getting her rematch at WrestleMania despite her protesting.

39:34.739 --> 39:36.381
[SPEAKER_01]: It could play in the Jessica car.

39:36.421 --> 39:40.185
[SPEAKER_01]: She'd be suspended for what happened in her match on Saturday, but,

39:40.165 --> 39:45.032
[SPEAKER_01]: I do foresee a good gollin match next Monday who will win.

39:45.092 --> 39:46.714
[SPEAKER_01]: We shall see.

39:47.255 --> 39:52.182
[SPEAKER_01]: As that leads us to agrande americana versus one of those americanos.

39:53.083 --> 39:54.926
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was a fine match.

39:55.527 --> 39:57.770
[SPEAKER_01]: Five of what it was nicely wrestled.

39:58.371 --> 39:59.813
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm ready for the gimmick to be done.

39:59.853 --> 40:01.816
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm ready to see Chad Gable.

40:02.316 --> 40:09.987
[SPEAKER_01]: Be Chad Gable once again.

40:09.967 --> 40:18.394
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, at this point in the show, we would be remiss not to go full pop culture for the people.

40:18.875 --> 40:21.297
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was sitting at home watching this match.

40:21.677 --> 40:25.861
[SPEAKER_01]: And I saw the gear that El Grande, Americana number two had on.

40:25.881 --> 40:34.428
[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought to myself, somebody was clearly inspired by the power-ranger gold zeal.

40:35.429 --> 40:38.472
[SPEAKER_01]: Clearly, that was their inspiration tonight with the gear.

40:41.692 --> 40:45.376
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, uh, Zio's always been one of my favorites.

40:45.776 --> 40:47.017
[SPEAKER_03]: I enjoyed the gold ranger.

40:47.037 --> 40:51.822
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's pretty cool as far as El Grande Gable.

40:52.483 --> 40:54.885
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm ready for him to be unmasked.

40:54.905 --> 41:01.792
[SPEAKER_03]: I think there's a lot more to chat without the mask, especially now that Ludwig has adopted and essentially taking over the mask.

41:02.713 --> 41:09.941
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, but yeah, as far as the power ranger reference go, uh, that thing that's pretty good pretty spot on all I need.

41:09.961 --> 41:11.142
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a scepter.

41:11.392 --> 41:15.117
[SPEAKER_01]: basically I love zero to an underrated season.

41:15.437 --> 41:24.189
[SPEAKER_01]: Now granted the the villains of the season sucked and he seriously robots, gears, who was scared of them like that.

41:24.509 --> 41:27.453
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't scared of them, but I loved the outfits.

41:27.473 --> 41:33.000
[SPEAKER_01]: I loved them in that season, which I appreciated and the theme song kicked ass.

41:33.140 --> 41:34.362
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's that.

41:35.219 --> 41:42.013
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and, you know, it also eventually led us to Turbo, which gave us our first Black Red Ranger.

41:42.053 --> 41:49.408
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's a lot to love from Zio, and had a lot going on, and then, and then we have to that.

41:49.448 --> 41:52.755
[SPEAKER_03]: We just started to Turbo was really bad, but,

41:52.735 --> 41:54.557
[SPEAKER_03]: we got back on track within space.

41:54.817 --> 41:56.920
[SPEAKER_01]: So yes, let me tell you something.

41:57.300 --> 42:00.084
[SPEAKER_01]: Listen, turbo almost killed the franchise.

42:00.144 --> 42:00.604
[SPEAKER_01]: You hear me?

42:00.985 --> 42:07.412
[SPEAKER_01]: Almost killed with a child being a ranger, had a child being a ranger, unacceptable.

42:07.713 --> 42:15.842
[SPEAKER_01]: But in space to this day, if you we watch it as on Netflix or to be, it saved the franchise, saved it for the next 30 years.

42:16.803 --> 42:18.225
[SPEAKER_01]: Excellent, excellent season.

42:18.725 --> 42:20.127
[SPEAKER_01]: My favorite by far.

42:22.216 --> 42:24.178
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the OG is still my favorite.

42:24.198 --> 42:30.265
[SPEAKER_03]: Nothing, nothing, nothing will top the green ranger showing up in the mechazord and giving them boys and girls the world.

42:30.846 --> 42:42.079
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, that's the, there's absolutely nothing that you can bring up that is going to top that man walk it up in the mechazord and be like, nah, this ain't going to fly.

42:42.099 --> 42:43.440
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm giving y'all the work.

42:43.460 --> 42:45.863
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing's topping that, okay.

42:46.343 --> 42:47.785
[SPEAKER_02]: But space is number two.

42:50.482 --> 42:58.293
[SPEAKER_01]: First of all, that man really got in there and he walked their asses in the mechanism.

42:58.434 --> 43:09.570
[SPEAKER_01]: One of them, I himself, it was a one against five beat down and it was the one against five and he'd be all of them up.

43:09.550 --> 43:14.336
[SPEAKER_01]: and then the mega-sort went down because they got their ass beats so bad.

43:14.636 --> 43:15.497
[SPEAKER_01]: It just collapsed.

43:16.058 --> 43:18.040
[SPEAKER_01]: Dragon-sort said, what's up was good.

43:18.601 --> 43:21.444
[SPEAKER_01]: It was an all-time moment for me as a fan.

43:21.704 --> 43:22.105
[SPEAKER_01]: It was.

43:22.285 --> 43:22.745
[SPEAKER_01]: I loved it.

43:23.066 --> 43:23.466
[SPEAKER_01]: I loved it.

43:23.887 --> 43:31.035
[SPEAKER_01]: And shout out to Dino Thunder because if you love inside of references, I love that season for all the inside stuff.

43:31.015 --> 43:32.978
[SPEAKER_01]: from all of the other seasons of the show.

43:33.318 --> 43:34.981
[SPEAKER_01]: I loved it for that reason alone.

43:35.402 --> 43:40.389
[SPEAKER_01]: And that right Ranger, that season, he was an asshole and I loved him for it.

43:41.291 --> 43:41.791
[SPEAKER_01]: I loved him.

43:41.811 --> 43:42.853
[SPEAKER_01]: He was a great ass.

43:42.893 --> 43:49.463
[SPEAKER_01]: He was evil diabolical learned from the Green Ranger had to be a diabolical asshole.

43:50.978 --> 43:59.650
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it's quite a few red rangers who are for better or for worse or just not great people, but tax.

43:59.951 --> 44:00.932
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's okay.

44:02.635 --> 44:06.941
[SPEAKER_03]: You got some red rangers who don't even know what they're doing, like the time force guy.

44:07.141 --> 44:08.523
[SPEAKER_03]: He just happened to fall into the role.

44:08.583 --> 44:09.805
[SPEAKER_03]: Pink Ranger has to do everything.

44:09.945 --> 44:10.966
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's that.

44:11.046 --> 44:13.550
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's all kinds of different things that we could get to.

44:13.590 --> 44:14.491
[SPEAKER_03]: It comes a power Ranger.

44:14.511 --> 44:15.653
[SPEAKER_03]: But let me just tell you.

44:16.375 --> 44:18.238
[SPEAKER_03]: There is nothing like the OG.

44:18.619 --> 44:21.704
[SPEAKER_03]: See, in Tommy go large and beat up the mega-zort.

44:21.844 --> 44:24.047
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's nothing like it, man.

44:24.168 --> 44:27.253
[SPEAKER_03]: I can go on and on about the OG.

44:27.273 --> 44:33.302
[SPEAKER_01]: Though G is a classic, let's not talk about the Red Ranger because I had to rescind Shadow Biscuits retroactively.

44:33.783 --> 44:34.164
[SPEAKER_01]: I did.

44:34.184 --> 44:36.547
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, you don't deserve these in 2026.

44:37.229 --> 44:38.190
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't deserve them now.

44:38.270 --> 44:40.554
[SPEAKER_01]: You just don't hearing it.

44:40.574 --> 44:41.235
[SPEAKER_04]: You're hearing it.

44:41.215 --> 44:43.098
[SPEAKER_01]: a lot going on, that's quite disturbing.

44:43.158 --> 44:44.721
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, I had to rescind the biscuits.

44:45.242 --> 44:53.295
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I said, no, I have to give them to Zach and Billy, I have to distribute them accordingly, Kimberly, obviously, you just can't get none to.

44:53.616 --> 44:55.519
[SPEAKER_01]: You cannot get any biscuits for me.

44:55.980 --> 45:00.687
[SPEAKER_01]: Even the frog man, Adam, gets more chat of biscuits in the red range in 2026.

45:00.848 --> 45:03.111
[SPEAKER_01]: I draw a line at some point.

45:05.315 --> 45:06.497
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's doing a lot.

45:07.220 --> 45:07.901
[SPEAKER_01]: way too much.

45:08.422 --> 45:10.226
[SPEAKER_01]: Fernando says, I'm a vote-trong guy.

45:10.266 --> 45:11.528
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

45:11.949 --> 45:12.389
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

45:13.211 --> 45:14.032
[SPEAKER_01]: Going in the bag.

45:14.493 --> 45:15.776
[SPEAKER_01]: We're trying school.

45:15.796 --> 45:16.036
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

45:17.018 --> 45:25.053
[SPEAKER_01]: Which reminds me, if you have to be, and you want to dive into 90s and nostalgia from Fox kids, you can watch beat-a-borgs now.

45:25.794 --> 45:26.716
[SPEAKER_01]: All two seasons.

45:27.076 --> 45:28.519
[SPEAKER_01]: If you remember beat-a-borgs,

45:31.047 --> 45:39.939
[SPEAKER_03]: But he had the new one of them could snap their fingers and he'd go fast, one of them was moving things and the other one was really strong.

45:39.959 --> 45:41.121
[SPEAKER_03]: They were cracked their knuckles.

45:41.742 --> 45:42.904
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember to beat a Borg's.

45:44.626 --> 45:48.592
[SPEAKER_03]: And then, and then there was a red reindeer episode and they fought beat a Borg's.

45:48.692 --> 45:51.436
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know where that came from, but there was that too.

45:51.896 --> 45:53.899
[SPEAKER_01]: A very random crossover.

45:54.959 --> 45:57.927
[SPEAKER_01]: A very random, that episode, very random, very random.

45:58.007 --> 46:01.758
[SPEAKER_01]: I was a red ranger getting in trouble to have a truth, but a digress.

46:02.379 --> 46:04.926
[SPEAKER_01]: As we get back to Monday and I raw what a segue is.

46:04.967 --> 46:08.356
[SPEAKER_01]: We jump back into reality, back into life of it all.

46:08.817 --> 46:10.622
[SPEAKER_01]: As we talk about,

46:11.294 --> 46:14.758
[SPEAKER_01]: Jim Uso versus Austin Theory, who cares?

46:15.459 --> 46:16.120
[SPEAKER_01]: Truly who cares?

46:16.480 --> 46:27.614
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a DQ and J. Uso came out there with a crutch and him and Jim and he hit Austin Theory and Logan Paul with crutches and that I probably lead to a tag to entitled Match and the Seth will kill them again.

46:28.095 --> 46:28.636
[SPEAKER_01]: And seen.

46:32.020 --> 46:34.122
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, not much more to add to that.

46:36.445 --> 46:41.031
[SPEAKER_03]: So, and after what happened later on and I doesn't like we're getting brothers

46:41.382 --> 46:41.903
[SPEAKER_03]: here's that.

46:42.824 --> 46:50.617
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, my hopes and dreams are being dashed, but you know what if it's for what happened tonight, I can accept it.

46:50.978 --> 47:00.193
[SPEAKER_01]: I can and speaking of which let's get to you, Dominic Mysterio versus Penta for the intercono championship.

47:00.574 --> 47:05.061
[SPEAKER_01]: So Dirty Dom was you know basically hinting at any some help tonight.

47:05.041 --> 47:05.943
[SPEAKER_01]: I need some help.

47:06.084 --> 47:11.196
[SPEAKER_01]: Can JD and Finn Ballard tap in and help me and Finn's like no, you need to do this on your own.

47:11.236 --> 47:19.016
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll be out there to support you when you win and we'll celebrate and we'll say you're the champ and we'll just have a big ol party, but you must do this on your own.

47:19.136 --> 47:22.324
[SPEAKER_01]: So you went out there and he fought Penta.

47:22.692 --> 47:23.754
[SPEAKER_01]: really good match.

47:23.874 --> 47:25.096
[SPEAKER_01]: Crowd was hot for it.

47:25.537 --> 47:30.105
[SPEAKER_01]: Biting on the nail falls once again, dirty diamond pen to have really get chemistry per the usual.

47:30.526 --> 47:34.733
[SPEAKER_01]: And we did not get that machine and against from outside the ring.

47:35.013 --> 47:40.583
[SPEAKER_01]: The judgment day tries to interfere towards the end when we had Dominic.

47:40.563 --> 47:44.469
[SPEAKER_01]: shoved Penta into the ring post showed a first and he told J.D.

47:44.509 --> 47:57.708
[SPEAKER_01]: hey get the hammer from the time keeper table and he drew to give it to me so I could hit Penta with it behind the referees back to get the dub and Finn's like no, because we agreed that Dom would win this match by himself.

47:58.069 --> 48:05.980
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't need us to let him win on his own and so Penta wipes out both guys with a dive on the outside and this leads to Penta.

48:05.960 --> 48:11.527
[SPEAKER_01]: hitting the destroyer on Dirty Dom to win the icy title.

48:11.847 --> 48:17.014
[SPEAKER_01]: They mentioned that Dirty Dom was a three head, a three and one record against Pinta until last night.

48:17.374 --> 48:19.376
[SPEAKER_01]: So this was a big victory for Pinta.

48:19.677 --> 48:22.120
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been in WWE for a little over a year now.

48:22.460 --> 48:26.305
[SPEAKER_01]: Even teasing a championship run for him for a very long time.

48:26.385 --> 48:28.047
[SPEAKER_01]: But now it's finally happened.

48:28.588 --> 48:35.376
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm very happy for Pinta, even though my dream tag team

48:35.356 --> 48:38.930
[SPEAKER_01]: probably won't happen if this is WrestleMania, but that's okay.

48:38.950 --> 48:43.408
[SPEAKER_01]: If that means I could see Penta in a match at WrestleMania for the title.

48:45.835 --> 48:48.179
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, uh, everything about that spot on.

48:48.640 --> 48:52.026
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, I am curious to see what the direction is.

48:52.066 --> 48:55.031
[SPEAKER_03]: They go with Pennsylvania as I see champion.

48:55.071 --> 49:00.120
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd like to see that title defended, uh, would mine a few defense at against Ray Phoenix on the other side.

49:00.160 --> 49:02.625
[SPEAKER_03]: Have a little robber smack down match, so that could be cool.

49:03.346 --> 49:09.717
[SPEAKER_03]: But as far as Dom goes, you know, I was thinking that Finn Balor would be the guy to take the title off Dom.

49:09.697 --> 49:10.578
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess not.

49:11.059 --> 49:22.736
[SPEAKER_03]: I still think we can end up seeing Dom versus Fenbellary, WrestleMania seems like they're kind of leading towards that, but this was a, I'm glad this match happened here and not it later.

49:22.756 --> 49:23.517
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's put it that way.

49:24.920 --> 49:31.069
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what, normally I would get she was talking about my city, but my city can be defended.

49:31.529 --> 49:37.358
[SPEAKER_01]: There were a background last week, very unusual because normally they're, they're normally they're hotter than that.

49:37.591 --> 49:40.014
[SPEAKER_01]: So rough and night, Indianapolis showed up.

49:40.114 --> 49:43.118
[SPEAKER_01]: They showed out, and they showed love, and they were alert.

49:43.499 --> 49:44.580
[SPEAKER_01]: They were engaged.

49:44.640 --> 49:50.448
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't drag tonight, which was important because they could have dragged and brought some segments down, but they didn't.

49:50.468 --> 49:54.774
[SPEAKER_01]: They were very lively, and they got things over there behind Penta.

49:55.294 --> 49:59.420
[SPEAKER_01]: And Dominic had his working boots on per the usual, and this was a very good match.

49:59.560 --> 50:01.402
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was very happy with the title change.

50:01.943 --> 50:05.067
[SPEAKER_01]: And needed to happen, as you said, how do we get to Dirty Dom?

50:05.047 --> 50:20.406
[SPEAKER_01]: And Finn at WrestleMania, we shall see is our building tension within judgment day and the circles back to the Apple last year, but it just won't be a title on the line, but I expect them if given time to have a great match.

50:23.440 --> 50:26.125
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, shout out to Dan Housing, put in the curse on Dom.

50:26.185 --> 50:29.531
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of them definitely given the sister, Dan Housing by the curse.

50:29.551 --> 50:32.055
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely, because now the curse is canon.

50:32.516 --> 50:34.279
[SPEAKER_01]: If he curses you, you're going to lose.

50:34.320 --> 50:40.471
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, they understand the gimmick, the assignment is understood when it comes to Dan Housing.

50:40.951 --> 50:43.756
[SPEAKER_01]: If you are cursed by him, you are going to lose.

50:43.917 --> 50:47.423
[SPEAKER_01]: And sure enough, on this night, dirty Dom lost.

50:49.917 --> 50:54.109
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think Dan has to do really well with WWE.

50:54.229 --> 50:57.317
[SPEAKER_03]: I just, I think they'll be able to find a spot for him.

50:57.337 --> 51:02.471
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't wait for him in our troops to come together at some point and see what they got to say to each other.

51:02.913 --> 51:03.775
[SPEAKER_03]: But I,

51:04.193 --> 51:08.440
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that house is going to make a lot of money with WWE.

51:08.881 --> 51:09.682
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so too.

51:10.323 --> 51:16.934
[SPEAKER_01]: You'd like some when you need to in small doses, preferably, but it's life's to print money if they do it right.

51:17.615 --> 51:27.771
[SPEAKER_01]: And now it's time to get to the main event segment of Monday Night Raw, which was Roman Reigns coming out and see

51:27.751 --> 51:37.066
[SPEAKER_01]: came my fair and my god, they took shots at each other, CM Punk says, listen, I know why you're here.

51:37.607 --> 51:40.311
[SPEAKER_01]: We're here to acknowledge you, but we're not here to do that.

51:40.832 --> 51:43.075
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's just get that done and over with, okay?

51:43.416 --> 51:46.080
[SPEAKER_01]: You're here great because listen,

51:46.060 --> 51:54.352
[SPEAKER_01]: I have these bags under my eyes because I got to carry your bullshit for the next seven weeks I didn't get to WrestleMania because you're not going to be here that much.

51:54.733 --> 52:06.189
[SPEAKER_01]: So I got to do the heavy lifting for both of us and any in Apple this is a special place because this is where the shield debuted back in 2012 and Romans said, now you bought the other two you didn't bring me.

52:06.250 --> 52:06.730
[SPEAKER_01]: Is you right?

52:07.251 --> 52:09.975
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't pick you, but you came along for the ride.

52:09.955 --> 52:29.263
[SPEAKER_01]: You sure did you benefit it for being around me and now still in 2026 for chasing me and you're chasing this championship and you're chasing the main event because it wasn't for me There would be no Roman reigns in the main event of WrestleMania even if you won the world your rumble because if you won that who you face it you picked me for a reason

52:29.243 --> 52:38.203
[SPEAKER_01]: And so Roman proceeds to just go in on CM Punk saying, we brought you back for the 30 and for the heal of virgins living with their parents.

52:38.263 --> 52:40.368
[SPEAKER_01]: We brought you back to sell some merch.

52:40.408 --> 52:43.355
[SPEAKER_01]: You bought you back to sell the house in Chicago.

52:43.415 --> 52:47.404
[SPEAKER_01]: We did you a favor by helping us.

52:47.384 --> 52:51.168
[SPEAKER_01]: make a little money along the way, but now you serve your purpose.

52:51.668 --> 52:55.132
[SPEAKER_01]: And now I'm here to reassure control because not honesty.

52:55.152 --> 52:56.233
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you really happy, Phil?

52:56.673 --> 52:59.176
[SPEAKER_01]: And I love how he never calls this man, see a bug.

52:59.456 --> 53:01.538
[SPEAKER_01]: He calls him Phil all the time.

53:01.838 --> 53:05.502
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, Phil, I hear the rumbleings about you behind the scenes.

53:05.802 --> 53:11.167
[SPEAKER_01]: You put on this smiling face saying that you're happy, but you're grumbling, you're bitching your money.

53:11.207 --> 53:13.309
[SPEAKER_01]: I hear the whispers when I show up to work.

53:13.650 --> 53:17.053
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and Phil's like, okay.

53:17.033 --> 53:44.256
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so you're mad that your cousins are around me, you're mad because they're around me more than they're around you and you're threatened by that aren't you because you're alone now because they're not backing you up because you could never do anything on your own in WWE you always had help with the shield with your bloodline and now you have to do it all in your own a WrestleMania can you truly do it and so Roman.

53:44.236 --> 53:46.783
[SPEAKER_01]: comes back and says, listen to WrestleMania.

53:46.803 --> 53:48.247
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to beat you.

53:48.287 --> 53:53.542
[SPEAKER_01]: And then after that, I'm going to put you on your own little Johnson and retirement tour.

53:53.943 --> 53:55.889
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to set the dates to send you home.

53:56.230 --> 53:59.258
[SPEAKER_01]: And then after we do that, we're going to send you down NXT.

53:59.238 --> 54:01.781
[SPEAKER_01]: And you're going to coach up the future of this industry.

54:02.141 --> 54:06.106
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're going to bring them to me on the man roster and I'll smash them all.

54:06.667 --> 54:09.110
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Roman thought he had to have last word.

54:09.130 --> 54:13.435
[SPEAKER_01]: See him punk circles back, pulls him aside and says, let's talk a lot of shit.

54:13.796 --> 54:16.459
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm going to circle back on all the things you said about me.

54:16.839 --> 54:19.542
[SPEAKER_01]: And let you know that I do not appreciate being disrespected.

54:20.163 --> 54:22.306
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I'm not going to let that fly on my watch.

54:22.726 --> 54:25.169
[SPEAKER_01]: And then at WrestleMania, you know, it's going to be me and you.

54:25.770 --> 54:28.333
[SPEAKER_01]: And when it's all said and done, because now that you hate me,

54:29.157 --> 54:29.838
[SPEAKER_01]: That's cool.

54:30.239 --> 54:31.501
[SPEAKER_01]: And that would just let all this stuff about me.

54:31.522 --> 54:32.243
[SPEAKER_01]: That's cool too.

54:32.644 --> 54:35.409
[SPEAKER_01]: So now I know what I have to do at WrestleMania.

54:35.449 --> 54:37.272
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to bury you.

54:37.854 --> 54:43.063
[SPEAKER_01]: And when I bury you, you will no longer be alone because I'm going to bury you next to your father.

54:43.104 --> 54:47.031
[SPEAKER_01]: My drop Roman's face is cracked.

54:47.011 --> 54:48.172
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gagged.

54:48.853 --> 54:56.663
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm already sold on the match of WrestleMania, but they keep up in the anti and let me just say they're saving WrestleMania by their promo work.

54:57.124 --> 55:07.958
[SPEAKER_01]: And now we know Scott was coming next that for their next confrontation CM Punk will break down in tears when Roman Reigns mentions Larry.

55:08.558 --> 55:09.880
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what's going to happen.

55:13.538 --> 55:17.124
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I don't know if you can bring up Larry without them getting physical man.

55:17.164 --> 55:22.893
[SPEAKER_03]: You can't bring up a man's dog like that, but this is a, this was fantastic.

55:23.013 --> 55:28.361
[SPEAKER_03]: This is absolutely the night to closure and it feels like it.

55:28.922 --> 55:32.167
[SPEAKER_03]: This feels like one of the biggest matches.

55:33.609 --> 55:34.230
[SPEAKER_03]: Versalmatia.

55:34.290 --> 55:38.517
[SPEAKER_03]: This is feels like one of the bigger main events, WrestleMania's had.

55:38.800 --> 55:42.405
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like this is bigger than John Cena Cody last year.

55:42.445 --> 55:50.076
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like this is, man, this gives me feelings like to win Cody and Roman first met.

55:50.757 --> 55:56.506
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I think 40 felt inevitable, but that first meeting felt big time felt special.

55:57.968 --> 56:06.580
[SPEAKER_03]: Rock and Roman team and I'm like, Roman Reigns has an aura bottom and C. and Punk is absolutely matching that he,

56:06.560 --> 56:13.697
[SPEAKER_03]: He's he's he's he's tap it into that old fill where he just elevates everything and and Roman rain is right there.

56:13.738 --> 56:14.880
[SPEAKER_03]: The facial expressions.

56:14.900 --> 56:16.484
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think anybody does facial is better.

56:17.106 --> 56:19.071
[SPEAKER_03]: He sold everything the way it was supposed to.

56:19.091 --> 56:21.717
[SPEAKER_03]: That last line you could tell it cut deep.

56:21.697 --> 56:26.221
[SPEAKER_03]: I appreciate them saving all the physicality because there's a lot of time left.

56:27.222 --> 56:39.093
[SPEAKER_03]: There's still a lot of ground in the cover and you could tell like this, this is there between a build like this where they're taking personal shots and stuff like that and then the tip and he's sharp all that stuff we saw.

56:39.253 --> 56:48.362
[SPEAKER_03]: Like this is how it's done and how it builds to a match and how it makes you more interested in a match because now seeing punk at the last

56:48.342 --> 56:51.145
[SPEAKER_03]: Roman's absolutely going to dig deep and get the last word.

56:51.365 --> 56:52.886
[SPEAKER_03]: He probably will bring up Larry.

56:53.107 --> 56:54.908
[SPEAKER_03]: He's probably going to bring up AJ Lee.

56:55.409 --> 56:56.970
[SPEAKER_03]: He'll probably bring up something else.

56:58.172 --> 57:03.176
[SPEAKER_03]: Hell, he might even, he might even bring up to some AEW type stuff.

57:03.196 --> 57:13.466
[SPEAKER_03]: Like there's, there's literally nothing off the table with these two, especially at the level there at the caliber they're at and then wanting to make this feel like a top level few.

57:13.506 --> 57:14.147
[SPEAKER_03]: So,

57:14.903 --> 57:21.632
[SPEAKER_03]: I think they've done a phenomenal job, and they are definitely making wrestling.

57:21.992 --> 57:25.417
[SPEAKER_03]: When you think about WrestleMania, you're not thinking about anything except this match.

57:25.557 --> 57:28.641
[SPEAKER_03]: This was fantastic all around.

57:28.981 --> 57:34.729
[SPEAKER_03]: CM Punk is, he's definitely showing why he's the head guy on RAW right now.

57:35.210 --> 57:41.498
[SPEAKER_03]: He mentioned that he was Netflix and all this stuff, and you're on my show, and there's a reason I'm here.

57:41.638 --> 57:43.881
[SPEAKER_03]: I like CM Punk like that.

57:43.861 --> 57:51.678
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I like him having that arrogance, having that confidence, like, yeah, I know who you are, but don't you dare forget who I am.

57:51.819 --> 57:53.823
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I am, I am still him.

57:53.983 --> 57:55.086
[SPEAKER_03]: I am still that guy.

57:55.126 --> 57:57.972
[SPEAKER_03]: So this was absolutely fantastic.

57:59.150 --> 58:01.132
[SPEAKER_01]: I was riveted the entire time.

58:01.172 --> 58:03.295
[SPEAKER_01]: They just have this special chemistry on the mic.

58:03.835 --> 58:05.457
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to translate into the ring, too.

58:05.477 --> 58:07.059
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just special, man.

58:07.099 --> 58:12.645
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how you put together a feud and you promote it and you sell it and you make me want to see it.

58:13.166 --> 58:17.811
[SPEAKER_01]: And you're saying, beyond a shadow of a doubt, we are the main event of WrestleMania night, too.

58:18.311 --> 58:19.933
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't get this spot.

58:20.153 --> 58:20.894
[SPEAKER_01]: It is taken.

58:21.295 --> 58:22.196
[SPEAKER_01]: It is reserved.

58:22.256 --> 58:27.081
[SPEAKER_01]: Good luck to everybody else fighting for night one, because we have it unlocked down.

58:27.061 --> 58:43.973
[SPEAKER_01]: It was clear the moment this match was made official and just a back and forth and they have more to go and it's going to get personal escod mentioned we have the AW angle of how see a punk went there and how it ended roughly three years ago just about.

58:43.953 --> 58:54.155
[SPEAKER_01]: And unless the india is going to prevent some things being said, oh, they're absolutely going to bring up those elements on the microphone for the maximum amount of heat.

58:54.476 --> 58:56.821
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're almost on afraid to go there and see him punk.

58:57.142 --> 58:59.066
[SPEAKER_01]: He will continue to dig deep as well.

58:59.186 --> 59:01.050
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just love it.

59:01.030 --> 59:13.990
[SPEAKER_01]: It reminds me a lot of Austin versus Rock from 25 years ago that kind of energy of two alphas who are the best of their generation in some way and they're just trying to say I'm the better guy.

59:14.030 --> 59:16.133
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm the one chasing his championship.

59:16.213 --> 59:19.499
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to have this in order to be the guy and that's Roman.

59:19.519 --> 59:21.081
[SPEAKER_01]: You have what I want.

59:21.061 --> 59:23.365
[SPEAKER_01]: And that championship represents being the best.

59:23.766 --> 59:25.549
[SPEAKER_01]: It represents power and control.

59:25.709 --> 59:26.290
[SPEAKER_01]: I want it.

59:26.711 --> 59:29.556
[SPEAKER_01]: And Sam Punk says, listen, you might think very little of me.

59:29.616 --> 59:36.708
[SPEAKER_01]: You might not think much of me, but you think enough of me to want this championship that I have, because you could have picked Cody easily.

59:36.748 --> 59:40.355
[SPEAKER_01]: You could have picked Drew easily, but you chose me.

59:40.415 --> 59:42.519
[SPEAKER_01]: You chose me.

59:42.579 --> 59:44.061
[SPEAKER_01]: And now what?

59:44.101 --> 59:45.043
[SPEAKER_01]: And I love it.

59:48.027 --> 59:50.930
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it should be a great close out of WrestleMania.

59:51.410 --> 59:55.474
[SPEAKER_03]: This is going to end the weekend on a high note, I believe.

59:55.775 --> 59:56.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

59:56.495 --> 59:58.437
[SPEAKER_01]: And it should be clean, no controversy.

59:58.778 --> 01:00:04.543
[SPEAKER_01]: This is at the best man when who talked and most shit and backed it up, that's who she went this match of WrestleMania.

01:00:05.064 --> 01:00:11.310
[SPEAKER_01]: Circling back to Fernando, punk should win nothing against Rome and but I'm a little tired of part time as winning World Championships.

01:00:11.330 --> 01:00:12.531
[SPEAKER_01]: I think punk is going to win too.

01:00:12.851 --> 01:00:14.473
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to win.

01:00:14.453 --> 01:00:15.315
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe it.

01:00:15.456 --> 01:00:17.702
[SPEAKER_01]: It's litifies everything he's been saying.

01:00:18.304 --> 01:00:25.224
[SPEAKER_01]: Roman, if he gets to share being ship, we're going to see him because we won't see him after us so many of the men's going on vacation.

01:00:25.986 --> 01:00:27.771
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's no good to us with that belt.

01:00:31.193 --> 01:00:36.340
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if I'm Roman is like Tom Brady a WrestleMania.

01:00:36.360 --> 01:00:46.894
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I'm betting against Tom Brady a WrestleMania he's awesome last couple years So it's possible it's possible Yeah, it's the Superb order.

01:00:46.954 --> 01:00:48.536
[SPEAKER_03]: This is it there's a title on the line.

01:00:48.576 --> 01:00:54.364
[SPEAKER_03]: He he only lost once when it comes to having a title on the line I don't know if I'm betting against Roman Ray.

01:00:54.384 --> 01:01:00.492
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see how the bill goes, but I

01:01:01.197 --> 01:01:05.035
[SPEAKER_01]: And Fernando is saying that Jade and Rhea should mean a bit, and I won.

01:01:05.095 --> 01:01:10.380
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not a man of an eight minute match, one night one.

01:01:11.542 --> 01:01:12.824
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at you being shady.

01:01:13.084 --> 01:01:14.846
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at you being shady off top.

01:01:15.207 --> 01:01:17.390
[SPEAKER_01]: Because listen, we have video evidence now.

01:01:17.911 --> 01:01:24.159
[SPEAKER_01]: We're able to go back in the archives and timestamp stuff and say that in a month's time is Scott correct.

01:01:24.960 --> 01:01:27.884
[SPEAKER_01]: Do they have an eight minute main event that you're WrestleMania?

01:01:28.665 --> 01:01:34.913
[SPEAKER_01]: Or do they have an eight minute opener at night one or night to a WrestleMania on ESPN or ESPN too?

01:01:35.234 --> 01:01:36.115
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

01:01:36.095 --> 01:01:37.217
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, that I could buy.

01:01:37.417 --> 01:01:41.483
[SPEAKER_03]: I could 100% them by them opening the match and go on eight to ten minutes.

01:01:41.503 --> 01:01:42.544
[SPEAKER_03]: That's that's fine.

01:01:42.705 --> 01:01:43.506
[SPEAKER_03]: That's solid.

01:01:44.527 --> 01:01:45.349
[SPEAKER_01]: That's cool.

01:01:45.449 --> 01:01:45.989
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm with.

01:01:46.470 --> 01:01:47.211
[SPEAKER_01]: I know the gimmick.

01:01:47.231 --> 01:01:52.239
[SPEAKER_01]: Credo because they're telling you, yeah, first hour is going to be on ESPN to an ESPN.

01:01:52.599 --> 01:01:54.542
[SPEAKER_01]: No, that's a pre show.

01:01:54.657 --> 01:02:00.225
[SPEAKER_01]: Those pre-show matches that's going to be the drain, the Andre, the time where you're about oil.

01:02:00.545 --> 01:02:06.153
[SPEAKER_01]: I like, y'all came for me, y'all not going to have any serious recipe and matches until seven o'clock.

01:02:06.413 --> 01:02:07.054
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't play me.

01:02:07.254 --> 01:02:10.378
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be pre-lim hour, trust, both nights.

01:02:12.321 --> 01:02:17.428
[SPEAKER_01]: Just to tease you with the set, oh, look how pretty the building is and how fancy the set is.

01:02:17.448 --> 01:02:18.730
[SPEAKER_01]: But it'd be a different set this year.

01:02:18.950 --> 01:02:23.196
[SPEAKER_01]: But I would be the same recycled set from last year.

01:02:25.522 --> 01:02:26.523
[SPEAKER_03]: No, nice.

01:02:26.543 --> 01:02:28.966
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I just bring, I mean, you might just bring the same sets back.

01:02:29.006 --> 01:02:29.527
[SPEAKER_02]: Chain of point.

01:02:30.288 --> 01:02:31.129
[SPEAKER_02]: Anybody doing all that?

01:02:31.189 --> 01:02:32.390
[SPEAKER_02]: Bring the same sets back.

01:02:32.530 --> 01:02:33.391
[SPEAKER_02]: Same businesses.

01:02:34.312 --> 01:02:35.794
[SPEAKER_02]: Any point to an unfrancy?

01:02:35.814 --> 01:02:38.537
[SPEAKER_01]: West a little challenge, because they did change the graphic this year.

01:02:38.557 --> 01:02:40.840
[SPEAKER_01]: So they have to try a little some some different.

01:02:41.180 --> 01:02:42.061
[SPEAKER_01]: A little some some.

01:02:43.643 --> 01:02:43.863
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.

01:02:43.943 --> 01:02:45.525
[SPEAKER_01]: They modernize the logo.

01:02:45.545 --> 01:02:52.153
[SPEAKER_01]: So they can't go retro with the doors and whatever they had last year to got a you should up a little bit.

01:02:55.677 --> 01:02:56.846
[SPEAKER_01]: which brings us.

01:02:57.592 --> 01:02:58.298
[SPEAKER_01]: You have no faith.

01:02:58.661 --> 01:02:59.064
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see.

01:02:59.588 --> 01:03:00.253
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see.

01:03:01.651 --> 01:03:10.861
[SPEAKER_01]: but before we go, we have to talk about Sami Zayn and how he continues to pick fights and apologize.

01:03:11.461 --> 01:03:27.658
[SPEAKER_01]: So on Friday night's SmackDown, we know that Jiu-Sou got jumped from behind off-camera, presumably by the vision as Logan Paul was trying to get a spot in the elimination chamber match, which he did, by beating Jiu-Sou in controversial fashion when Jiu-Mac

01:03:27.638 --> 01:03:40.810
[SPEAKER_01]: So Sammy Zane was miffed by Cody Rhodes backstage and he confronts Jacob saying, hey, so I see that you're gearing up for this match against Logan Paul a match you didn't have earlier today.

01:03:40.850 --> 01:03:44.473
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, you already had your shot at the elimination chamber and you lost.

01:03:44.833 --> 01:03:47.596
[SPEAKER_01]: So it makes me wonder, did you attack your own blood?

01:03:48.136 --> 01:03:50.218
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you attack your own cousin to get this shot?

01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:53.681
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Jacob's like, well, coming at me kind of hot ain't you?

01:03:54.082 --> 01:03:56.144
[SPEAKER_01]: So choose your next words very carefully.

01:03:56.164 --> 01:03:57.645
[SPEAKER_01]: And then

01:03:58.672 --> 01:04:01.115
[SPEAKER_01]: I apologize, you're right.

01:04:02.036 --> 01:04:03.457
[SPEAKER_01]: You wouldn't do that to your family.

01:04:04.298 --> 01:04:05.660
[SPEAKER_01]: You earned this opportunity.

01:04:05.700 --> 01:04:07.422
[SPEAKER_01]: Good luck tonight.

01:04:07.442 --> 01:04:08.103
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm rooting for you.

01:04:08.123 --> 01:04:15.151
[SPEAKER_01]: You should go ahead and win and move on to elimination chamber and possibly go ahead and main event restomini.

01:04:15.171 --> 01:04:16.092
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is your moment.

01:04:16.112 --> 01:04:16.752
[SPEAKER_01]: You go get it.

01:04:17.133 --> 01:04:23.160
[SPEAKER_01]: And Jacob made the point saying that, hey, Sammy, you and I and Cody had a match a few weeks ago and smack down.

01:04:23.220 --> 01:04:27.885
[SPEAKER_01]: And according to how it went down,

01:04:27.865 --> 01:04:31.716
[SPEAKER_01]: He wasn't trying to help me try to help you in and you couldn't lay it up.

01:04:31.756 --> 01:04:34.423
[SPEAKER_01]: You couldn't take the shot and finish the job.

01:04:34.463 --> 01:04:35.205
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's fault is that?

01:04:35.406 --> 01:04:38.053
[SPEAKER_01]: Because that could have been you challenging Jared WrestleMania.

01:04:38.073 --> 01:04:40.119
[SPEAKER_01]: But oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:04:40.440 --> 01:04:42.866
[SPEAKER_01]: You want to look at me as if I'm doing something wrong.

01:04:42.967 --> 01:04:43.849
[SPEAKER_01]: But once again.

01:04:44.977 --> 01:04:51.291
[SPEAKER_01]: Sammy apologizes and then he proceeds to Tari Piti party and a temper tantrum backstage.

01:04:51.932 --> 01:05:03.357
[SPEAKER_01]: Now clearly, there's a story being told with Sammy saying, to what end I do not know, but the fans are tired of imapologizing for speaking his mind.

01:05:06.560 --> 01:05:08.182
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the fans can be tired of it all day one.

01:05:08.542 --> 01:05:11.526
[SPEAKER_03]: That bet you they would apologize to Jacob, fought to if he looked at him that way too.

01:05:11.966 --> 01:05:18.774
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, I don't, when it comes to this week, I don't have no issue with that man apologizing because I'm gonna tell you something.

01:05:19.315 --> 01:05:23.380
[SPEAKER_03]: If I came at fought to like that, and he said, choose your next words carefully.

01:05:23.460 --> 01:05:24.521
[SPEAKER_03]: I probably will be like, you know what?

01:05:24.781 --> 01:05:25.262
[SPEAKER_03]: My bad.

01:05:26.003 --> 01:05:27.765
[SPEAKER_03]: Just everything I said, I'm so sorry.

01:05:28.225 --> 01:05:29.447
[SPEAKER_03]: So, I get it.

01:05:30.128 --> 01:05:32.230
[SPEAKER_03]: As far as what we got going on with Sammy,

01:05:33.003 --> 01:05:33.644
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know man.

01:05:33.664 --> 01:05:34.786
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope it's not a heel turn.

01:05:34.826 --> 01:05:35.327
[SPEAKER_03]: I just don't.

01:05:36.450 --> 01:05:44.986
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not, I'm not with the whole Sammy heel thing, but I do think he's just got a, do you don't need to be a pot?

01:05:45.286 --> 01:05:54.083
[SPEAKER_03]: I just, I don't know.

01:05:55.767 --> 01:06:20.475
[SPEAKER_03]: the the whole apologizing and then all that you know that's like a that's like a guy who just who showed up on his first day of work and his message stuff up and just constantly apologize and bro You've been there for a decade or so You too old to be apologizing you just you at that age where you can just mess up and be like my bad and just keep it moving You don't need to be telling nobody sorry We'll see what the story is but

01:06:21.215 --> 01:06:29.115
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not something that is, it's not something that is going to add anything to his WrestleMania journey this year.

01:06:30.597 --> 01:06:42.699
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, when the fans who went all when Sammy's selling heart truths, they latch on and they're like, finally, you got to spine and then it completely walks it back by apologizing, saying, I'm sorry, and you're right.

01:06:42.719 --> 01:06:46.145
[SPEAKER_01]: I was wrong and it's like, dude, what's going on?

01:06:46.306 --> 01:06:51.715
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think the writing team and we have to side eye them because they can screw this up.

01:06:52.316 --> 01:06:53.719
[SPEAKER_01]: They are self-aware.

01:06:53.699 --> 01:07:00.467
[SPEAKER_01]: that you cannot do another year's long bill with Sammy chasing after this championship is not sustainable.

01:07:00.527 --> 01:07:03.411
[SPEAKER_01]: So you have to do something a bit different with the character.

01:07:03.871 --> 01:07:05.133
[SPEAKER_01]: Does it involve a hill turn?

01:07:05.253 --> 01:07:06.875
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so necessarily.

01:07:07.235 --> 01:07:10.179
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think you need to have Sammy have an edge and not be a pushover.

01:07:10.579 --> 01:07:13.443
[SPEAKER_01]: And I get walked on or other people and getting disrespected.

01:07:13.463 --> 01:07:19.470
[SPEAKER_01]: Like stand up for yourself, don't apologize and just walking your truth and dog walk people sometimes.

01:07:19.450 --> 01:07:20.472
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what you got to do.

01:07:20.793 --> 01:07:28.771
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think they're leaning in that direction and they'll find the week when Sammy won a apologize and you're staying on business, which I hope which happens very, very soon.

01:07:28.831 --> 01:07:32.820
[SPEAKER_01]: As Fernando knows, Sammy Ziggler is starting to get on my nerves.

01:07:32.940 --> 01:07:34.624
[SPEAKER_01]: His characters becoming annoying.

01:07:34.604 --> 01:07:36.026
[SPEAKER_01]: It's deliberate for Nando.

01:07:36.106 --> 01:07:42.956
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's with intent to ignore you, but the thing is when we find the nerve to actually say enough is enough.

01:07:43.336 --> 01:07:44.858
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to apologize.

01:07:45.319 --> 01:07:48.003
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to look out for me and I'm going to stand on business.

01:07:48.123 --> 01:07:56.815
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's coming very soon because clearly the fans still love Sammy, but they want him to have a bit of a backbone when it comes to talking his shit.

01:08:02.245 --> 01:08:03.567
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it'll probably be with Cody.

01:08:03.988 --> 01:08:08.216
[SPEAKER_03]: I can see Cody being the one that he's like, you know what, I've had enough of you.

01:08:08.236 --> 01:08:10.059
[SPEAKER_03]: I've done just sick of you.

01:08:10.600 --> 01:08:13.485
[SPEAKER_03]: And that'll be the one person that the fans are probably like, yeah, cool.

01:08:13.505 --> 01:08:14.868
[SPEAKER_03]: We're kind of tired of Cody too.

01:08:15.008 --> 01:08:22.802
[SPEAKER_03]: So we'll see what happens.

01:08:23.862 --> 01:08:24.303
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:08:24.363 --> 01:08:29.836
[SPEAKER_01]: So, they have months to plan ahead, most certainly for sure, and we'll see.

01:08:30.297 --> 01:08:35.408
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm looking for it too, because it's a long way between now and Saudi Mania, 2027.

01:08:35.849 --> 01:08:42.765
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was my quick thoughts on SmackDown going down live on USA this past Friday.

01:08:42.745 --> 01:08:50.997
[SPEAKER_01]: And now we will now get to the end of our show, which is the match of the week, the best match.

01:08:51.057 --> 01:08:57.166
[SPEAKER_01]: Just got saw across all of WWE programming for Monday Night Raw in NXT SmackDown.

01:08:57.186 --> 01:09:00.692
[SPEAKER_01]: May an event even evolve on to be.

01:09:03.736 --> 01:09:06.981
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, man, I'll probably go with a

01:09:09.070 --> 01:09:12.595
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought the women's match was really, the women's elimination chamber match was pretty good.

01:09:12.615 --> 01:09:22.667
[SPEAKER_03]: I really enjoyed it, especially with even though you knew who was going to win, just the creativity and some of the stuff they did.

01:09:22.707 --> 01:09:24.730
[SPEAKER_03]: But I'm going to go with Dom and Penta.

01:09:25.030 --> 01:09:28.435
[SPEAKER_03]: Penta getting this first title, good, really good match.

01:09:28.535 --> 01:09:35.083
[SPEAKER_03]: Dom and I show him, he's got a little bit of a bag, a little bit of a bag over there getting that book back showing off.

01:09:35.103 --> 01:09:36.445
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm going to go with Penta and Dom.

01:09:37.370 --> 01:09:40.693
[SPEAKER_01]: So wait, you admit that Dirty Dom has a bag.

01:09:41.734 --> 01:09:45.398
[SPEAKER_03]: He's got one of those clear book bags on right now.

01:09:45.438 --> 01:09:48.721
[SPEAKER_03]: You can see everything he's got, but you see he's got a little bag on.

01:09:49.301 --> 01:09:50.603
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not gonna see it through bag.

01:09:51.363 --> 01:09:56.628
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what, we're going to upgrade one day very soon to a Samson Night bag.

01:09:56.989 --> 01:10:01.473
[SPEAKER_01]: He's gonna go from Ziplock Bag Dawn to Samson Night Dom real quick.

01:10:01.793 --> 01:10:03.495
[SPEAKER_01]: And you're gonna see the complete vision.

01:10:05.483 --> 01:10:13.111
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe, we'll see, but I will say, he's got that clear book bag going right now.

01:10:13.151 --> 01:10:15.934
[SPEAKER_03]: He upgraded from the Fanny Pack to the clear book bag, and I'm with it.

01:10:15.994 --> 01:10:23.181
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm rocking with it, which is definitely growth by your standards, because you said he was a Fanny Pack for over two years, and I was like, sir, he's not.

01:10:23.581 --> 01:10:24.022
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not.

01:10:24.142 --> 01:10:28.627
[SPEAKER_01]: He is simply a Samsonite Pack, and we would get there one day very soon.

01:10:29.087 --> 01:10:34.933
[SPEAKER_01]: The bag will be unleashed, trust to me.

01:10:36.230 --> 01:10:40.095
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love to pick Penta and Dom.

01:10:40.675 --> 01:10:43.459
[SPEAKER_01]: Tottos, which is great, but I love Gunther versus Dragon League tonight.

01:10:43.879 --> 01:10:44.700
[SPEAKER_01]: I really enjoyed it.

01:10:46.102 --> 01:10:48.505
[SPEAKER_01]: So good, clever finish, I enjoyed it.

01:10:48.906 --> 01:10:53.431
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Fernando, Shao Sao, the Women's Lemonation Chamber match, but it was very good, you know what?

01:10:53.571 --> 01:10:57.056
[SPEAKER_01]: It was basic booking and the right person one.

01:10:57.076 --> 01:11:02.422
[SPEAKER_01]: And now we have Jade versus Rhea at WrestleMania for the WWE Women's Championship.

01:11:03.003 --> 01:11:05.646
[SPEAKER_01]: And we have a big test on Friday.

01:11:05.626 --> 01:11:09.111
[SPEAKER_01]: and Portland to see if they can sell it in seven weeks.

01:11:09.151 --> 01:11:09.792
[SPEAKER_01]: We shall see.

01:11:10.533 --> 01:11:17.783
[SPEAKER_01]: But with that, that is a wrap for all things WWE right here on the rack via the Fiky Media Network YouTube channel.

01:11:18.243 --> 01:11:26.014
[SPEAKER_01]: Before we go when to thank the one and only saute, Scott and up for joining me tonight to recap the week so far in WWE.

01:11:26.888 --> 01:11:27.550
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you, Keela.

01:11:27.590 --> 01:11:32.682
[SPEAKER_03]: As always, it's a pleasure to chop it up and talk all things WWE was a good week.

01:11:33.784 --> 01:11:39.177
[SPEAKER_03]: I am I am looking forward to Friday because I do want to see if Jade and Rhea can.

01:11:40.085 --> 01:11:42.529
[SPEAKER_03]: see what they can do try to sell it man.

01:11:42.970 --> 01:11:48.038
[SPEAKER_03]: They got they got some work to do and I I am kind of intrigued by the title match too.

01:11:48.199 --> 01:11:49.641
[SPEAKER_03]: I wouldn't be surprised of Cody one.

01:11:49.981 --> 01:11:53.608
[SPEAKER_03]: I would not be surprised if Cody one the match at all.

01:11:55.170 --> 01:12:02.903
[SPEAKER_03]: But we'll see what happens with that and shout out to Fernando and lady beef being in the chat and we'll talk to you on next week.

01:12:02.883 --> 01:12:05.986
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely, so we'll be back next Monday.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'll run a low in 30 PMEs and talk about Monday night wrong going down live from Seattle, Washington as a road to WrestleMania continues to big matches laid out including the Gotlet match to determine age at least an exponent for the in the kind of championship.

01:12:22.120 --> 01:12:26.985
[SPEAKER_01]: And we have a big cost battle between Opafimi and Rusev.

01:12:29.908 --> 01:12:31.489
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that should be good.

01:12:33.764 --> 01:12:37.348
[SPEAKER_03]: If they knew they were going to do this on the way, they just didn't have Russo B people for like a month straight.

01:12:37.368 --> 01:12:40.612
[SPEAKER_03]: But I digress Ryan Ward, get together.

01:12:42.233 --> 01:12:47.599
[SPEAKER_01]: Putting all the pressure on the man that doesn't even work on Monday, not raw, but I digress.

01:12:48.340 --> 01:12:54.267
[SPEAKER_01]: He's working this back down beat, but you want to have that man be helped personally responsible.

01:12:57.430 --> 01:12:59.232
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, who's doing Monday, not raw?

01:13:02.232 --> 01:13:04.918
[SPEAKER_01]: I presume Bruce Pritcher and A. Oh, God.

01:13:05.319 --> 01:13:05.620
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:06.903
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well.
