WWE Royal Rumble 2026 Review: Surprises, Snubs, and Saudi Arabia

WEBVTT

00:10.105 --> 00:15.010
[SPEAKER_01]: Kila, we are live with our Royal Rumble post game show here.

00:15.030 --> 00:19.415
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope this is an early show.

00:19.856 --> 00:26.784
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm usually right around this time, I'm expecting to kind of think about, what kind of food am I gonna have for the real Rumble?

00:26.804 --> 00:32.610
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not supposed to already be done with this show by at least six p.m. my time, 9 p.m. your time.

00:33.051 --> 00:37.075
[SPEAKER_01]: How was your experience trying watching this during the day for us?

00:37.325 --> 00:43.131
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a little different, but I'm glad that it's over because technically, it would start right about now.

00:43.712 --> 00:46.074
[SPEAKER_00]: I've honestly enough, but I'm glad that we're done.

00:46.115 --> 00:52.421
[SPEAKER_00]: I get to enjoy the evening to myself, relax, and go to sleep to watch tennis by 330 a.m. my time.

00:52.942 --> 00:54.343
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh, I forgot Australia.

00:54.383 --> 00:55.445
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, open is still going.

00:55.685 --> 00:58.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, the mince finals is late late tonight.

00:59.929 --> 01:00.430
[SPEAKER_01]: So,

01:01.658 --> 01:07.944
[SPEAKER_01]: So the idea of having something else to do today is actually pretty exciting.

01:08.385 --> 01:14.932
[SPEAKER_01]: We are going to see our local Broadway version of the Whizz.

01:15.272 --> 01:18.455
[SPEAKER_01]: When's the last time you saw the movie The Whizz?

01:19.176 --> 01:20.898
[SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, I think it was last year.

01:20.918 --> 01:22.499
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, good.

01:22.740 --> 01:23.440
[SPEAKER_00]: It was last year.

01:24.121 --> 01:29.927
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't seen it myself in a little while, but I did watch it many times when I was younger.

01:30.430 --> 01:44.477
[SPEAKER_01]: Not, I don't think, well, I did see not that long ago the Michael Jackson musical, so maybe the same guy playing Michael Jackson and that musical will play the scarecrow in the wiz.

01:44.758 --> 01:45.339
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be fun.

01:45.800 --> 01:52.793
[SPEAKER_00]: No, ironically, MJ Live isn't Atlanta at the Fox Theater, so he might not be able to make your

01:54.578 --> 02:00.043
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, we're just goofing off just giving people a chance to get in the in the live here.

02:00.063 --> 02:01.004
[SPEAKER_01]: The are YouTube live.

02:01.384 --> 02:06.449
[SPEAKER_01]: So I want to start this off by what we'll go through.

02:06.469 --> 02:08.390
[SPEAKER_01]: I have all the eliminations.

02:08.531 --> 02:09.852
[SPEAKER_01]: I have all the entrances.

02:09.932 --> 02:24.585
[SPEAKER_01]: I have both row, row, row matches all laid out in words and we'll go through those as we talk about the show, but I had some like kind of key takeaways as I was watching the show.

02:24.565 --> 02:39.561
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, the show's in Saudi Arabia, the idea of using WWE to kind of normalize Saudi Arabia in the eyes of Americans is a pretty big deal.

02:39.621 --> 02:44.927
[SPEAKER_01]: We've been dealing with this now for many, many years with WWE content.

02:44.947 --> 02:49.392
[SPEAKER_01]: But this is the first royal rumble, and I think,

02:50.654 --> 03:02.200
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think you could normalize it in the way that maybe you could have another shows because by having a women's royal rumble, you had 30 women.

03:02.483 --> 03:05.527
[SPEAKER_01]: all in different gear.

03:05.787 --> 03:10.273
[SPEAKER_01]: And it stood out in a elephant in the room kind of way.

03:10.914 --> 03:16.260
[SPEAKER_01]: So the very first match on this show already makes you go, okay, this is different.

03:16.401 --> 03:17.222
[SPEAKER_01]: This is weird.

03:17.842 --> 03:19.244
[SPEAKER_01]: There's something going on here.

03:19.424 --> 03:21.347
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, they're in Saudi Arabia.

03:21.787 --> 03:24.711
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, did you get that feeling right from jump start here?

03:25.163 --> 03:30.892
[SPEAKER_00]: I always get that feeling any time that they're in Saudi Arabia, especially when there's a women's match.

03:30.932 --> 03:34.577
[SPEAKER_00]: And the women's where you're rumble, we've been talking about this for a year now.

03:34.738 --> 03:36.480
[SPEAKER_00]: We were going to see 30 cat suits.

03:36.821 --> 03:37.121
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

03:37.141 --> 03:37.863
[SPEAKER_00]: We were going to.

03:37.883 --> 03:45.034
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you get like a WrestleMania and your country now for next year, I think maybe you should loosen the restrictions a little bit now.

03:45.134 --> 03:52.004
[SPEAKER_00]: All this money you're pouring into WWE, can you make some concessions regarding how the women are dressed?

03:52.145 --> 03:53.787
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't know.

03:54.796 --> 04:22.238
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, I know that part of the deal is to get the WWE superstars to talk positively about this environment and about the culture, you know, historically we have the CM Punk blood money tweet at the miss and now, you know, he's happy that he gets to go so a reversal there and he kind of has to do that because they get so much money.

04:22.994 --> 04:28.899
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the women, you know, taking photos as if they're on vacation and being very positive about it.

04:28.919 --> 04:38.347
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I understand all of those things, but the idea of 30 women to start this show and they're all wearing different clothing.

04:38.367 --> 04:51.499
[SPEAKER_01]: It just like hit you right in the face from the beginning and then they're in this newly built arena, which was very quickly built and the

04:52.475 --> 04:59.386
[SPEAKER_01]: like the crowd was we like I couldn't tell like how many people were actually there there seem to be a lot of empty seats.

05:00.067 --> 05:09.623
[SPEAKER_01]: It reminded me of social distancing wrestling cards right out of the pandemic like that's immediately how I felt watching this show.

05:09.603 --> 05:19.761
[SPEAKER_01]: What, like, did you hear anything about why, you know, I'm assuming because the arena was built so last minute, maybe they didn't know how many seats they were going to have.

05:19.781 --> 05:22.927
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, what's the story behind the lack of people there?

05:23.468 --> 05:28.076
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, allegedly, the seats can feel 25,000 people.

05:28.637 --> 05:33.265
[SPEAKER_00]: And then when you look at the wide shot, it looks empty, but those are like LED lights.

05:33.245 --> 05:37.570
[SPEAKER_00]: a lot of LED lights that I don't understand regarding the infrastructure of how they put it together.

05:37.850 --> 05:41.575
[SPEAKER_00]: Because it makes it look like it's an empty stadium when it's people there.

05:41.595 --> 05:45.319
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw it like topped up during the main event when the lights are on.

05:45.419 --> 05:48.643
[SPEAKER_00]: But like on the side cam, you see these empty spots.

05:48.763 --> 05:50.305
[SPEAKER_00]: Two minute LED things.

05:50.765 --> 05:53.248
[SPEAKER_00]: It reminded me of where the clippers play at the into a dome.

05:53.488 --> 05:56.391
[SPEAKER_00]: Like all the LED stuff is very distracting when it could have been.

05:56.412 --> 05:57.733
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know seats.

05:57.713 --> 06:00.877
[SPEAKER_00]: to be filled versus all that space that felt very empty.

06:00.917 --> 06:06.124
[SPEAKER_00]: And it looked very cosmetically pleasing to the eye when you see all of that open space for no reason.

06:07.085 --> 06:09.769
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, it was just, it was a weird experience.

06:09.809 --> 06:18.160
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, if you're ESPN and this is your very first royal rumble on the new network.

06:18.180 --> 06:20.683
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you see this like oddly,

06:21.102 --> 06:37.423
[SPEAKER_01]: lighted arena and you're not it can't actually tell how many people are there and the crowd noise, especially in the beginning of for this women's match was very low like of like they popped for of all things, uh, Brebella and yes kicks at least, but

06:37.403 --> 06:52.787
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, early on in that women's match, they were just really, really quiet and throughout the show, they were like some interesting, like, Ellie night comes out and it's like, you know, the favorite, the favorite wrestler of the audience, but other moments it was just like no reaction.

06:52.807 --> 07:00.459
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was just a weird experience and I tried as much as I could to kind of put out, put that out on my mind, but it was almost impossible.

07:00.499 --> 07:01.521
[SPEAKER_01]: Like,

07:01.501 --> 07:08.567
[SPEAKER_01]: If the idea is for these shows to normalize this society and culture, it did not do that at all.

07:08.607 --> 07:11.370
[SPEAKER_01]: It actually stood out like a sore thumb to me.

07:11.430 --> 07:14.553
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, as I was talking about this, I thought, you know what?

07:14.593 --> 07:17.175
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to support the power of bombshells.

07:17.215 --> 07:31.508
[SPEAKER_01]: I got my power of bombshells shirt on because as I'm watching the show, I kind of have, you know, Sam and Mel in the back of my mind as as they're in my head saying, you know, this is what the show is.

07:31.488 --> 07:39.457
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's break down the winners here, and then like I said, at the end of this show, we'll go over all the eliminations and we'll just go through the whole match.

07:39.477 --> 07:47.346
[SPEAKER_01]: But Liv Morgan wins the women's royal rumble, and you know, this one wasn't too surprising.

07:47.606 --> 07:54.014
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we'd seen a report a couple of months ago about how she has heavily involved in their WrestleMania plans.

07:54.034 --> 07:57.698
[SPEAKER_01]: So this one didn't come out of nowhere, but it was nice to see her.

07:57.678 --> 08:03.051
[SPEAKER_01]: get the dub because I think they said that she's the only one who's been in every single women's royal rumble match, right?

08:03.673 --> 08:04.555
[SPEAKER_00]: Outside of Natty.

08:04.756 --> 08:06.259
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.

08:07.382 --> 08:08.565
[SPEAKER_01]: Would you think of live?

08:08.866 --> 08:16.416
[SPEAKER_00]: Long overdue, she has been the bridesmaid for the last few who are your rumbles, the runner up getting knocked out in the runner up spot.

08:16.536 --> 08:24.886
[SPEAKER_00]: Glad that she had that moment tonight to get the W to be in a prominent spot at WrestleMania because there was a concern when she came back.

08:25.087 --> 08:28.511
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to be a center focus in the women's division.

08:28.551 --> 08:33.397
[SPEAKER_00]: And now you have your answer that she will be a part of WrestleMania vying for a championship.

08:33.437 --> 08:38.063
[SPEAKER_00]: So I love that for her, the genuine emotion of her winning has been a long journey for her.

08:38.043 --> 08:39.105
[SPEAKER_00]: to get to this point.

08:39.145 --> 08:41.609
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad the WWE finally gave for the win.

08:43.032 --> 08:49.563
[SPEAKER_01]: So on the men's side, we saw a very interestingly booked Royal Rumble.

08:50.505 --> 08:54.432
[SPEAKER_01]: Roman comes out the

08:55.728 --> 09:01.439
[SPEAKER_01]: Roman comes out at the end, uh, I forget he was in the in the 20s in some way.

09:02.301 --> 09:04.225
[SPEAKER_01]: And he wins it at the end.

09:04.245 --> 09:06.249
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I think a lot of people thought he was going to win.

09:06.550 --> 09:08.453
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't like the way that they brought him back.

09:08.514 --> 09:11.640
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was kind of silly that he doesn't even show his face.

09:11.680 --> 09:14.766
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to come back and win this very important match.

09:14.746 --> 09:26.072
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the way that they did it, and Roman is a giant superstar, and he's the man, so he's going to headline Russell Mania for one of those nights.

09:26.533 --> 09:27.996
[SPEAKER_01]: What did you think about Romans when?

09:28.786 --> 09:34.313
[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of figured he was going to win midweek, so this outcome wasn't surprising to me in the lease.

09:34.333 --> 09:41.302
[SPEAKER_00]: I know they pivoted away from Roman versus Cody at WrestleMania to go to grunt it back three times in a row.

09:41.363 --> 09:48.051
[SPEAKER_00]: So I do like the fact he won the rumble and now I presume he's going to face the impunk at WrestleMania for one of those nice.

09:48.111 --> 09:56.903
[SPEAKER_00]: And it keeps a streak alive that his man has made invented the last six or seven

09:57.878 --> 10:03.892
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, all right, I just want to show that I have this post, uh, Liam Birkel says this is nonsense.

10:03.932 --> 10:06.618
[SPEAKER_01]: The reactions are pretty good throughout just because it's in follow your narrative.

10:06.658 --> 10:07.400
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't try to influence.

10:08.242 --> 10:16.360
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure if you understand what podcasting is Liam, like podcasting is analysis on what you just saw.

10:16.340 --> 10:41.537
[SPEAKER_01]: So if what you saw with the royal rumble was like every other royal rumble that you've ever seen and you didn't see, you know, the women in the costumes differently and, you know, these odd, this odd seeding of this arena that was just recently built like if that if that is your cup of tea and you can say that, you know, this is this is what you honestly believe so be it.

10:41.517 --> 10:43.139
[SPEAKER_01]: But we have to talk about this stuff.

10:43.179 --> 10:45.763
[SPEAKER_01]: Like this is in our face, this is on ESPN.

10:45.783 --> 10:50.549
[SPEAKER_01]: This isn't non-sensical, you know, something that's not important.

10:50.929 --> 10:52.752
[SPEAKER_01]: WWE gets paid a lot of money for these shows.

10:52.852 --> 10:53.933
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're gonna talk about it.

10:53.953 --> 11:02.284
[SPEAKER_01]: And you have to point it out, because if you don't point it out, then you're just a mark for WWE, and I'm never gonna be a mark for WWE, no matter what.

11:03.185 --> 11:06.770
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so, couple of other things.

11:07.050 --> 11:08.993
[SPEAKER_01]: So AJ Styles,

11:09.766 --> 11:14.697
[SPEAKER_01]: he is done, at least we think, based off of the stipulation.

11:15.065 --> 11:17.868
[SPEAKER_01]: He and Gunther had a really, really good match.

11:17.888 --> 11:20.711
[SPEAKER_01]: And we'll break the whole thing down in a little bit.

11:22.574 --> 11:26.899
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you, were you surprised at him passing out?

11:27.099 --> 11:31.824
[SPEAKER_01]: Like he did, it's essentially the same way that John seen the loss though.

11:32.145 --> 11:35.448
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, AJ had a little bit more stamina than John there, I think, at the end.

11:36.149 --> 11:43.097
[SPEAKER_01]: John kind of went out a little quickly, like a little bit like a punk compared to AJ.

11:43.280 --> 11:51.429
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, he goes out just like Cena, uh, he passes out, referee gives them one arm up just to make sure to double check.

11:51.929 --> 11:56.534
[SPEAKER_01]: He's out, Gunther wins AJ stands in the center of the ring.

11:56.554 --> 11:57.916
[SPEAKER_01]: He's about to take his gloves off.

11:57.976 --> 12:01.059
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope, puts his gloves back together so he can do his signature pose.

12:01.620 --> 12:04.843
[SPEAKER_01]: Leaves the ring, comes back in, goes with his turnbuckle stands at the top.

12:05.284 --> 12:07.746
[SPEAKER_01]: Gets his music played and, uh, he's out.

12:08.407 --> 12:10.249
[SPEAKER_01]: What would you think about that whole thing?

12:11.461 --> 12:13.203
[SPEAKER_00]: She's gonna go more than lie.

12:13.243 --> 12:16.887
[SPEAKER_00]: His poem told the truth is that I'm done at the rumble.

12:17.667 --> 12:27.397
[SPEAKER_00]: I was surprised, honestly, because I thought that the main event of Monday and I all left the door open for AJ to come back and win this match against scum-thr.

12:27.477 --> 12:32.322
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you're trying to build gum-thr up as a guy, that's a career killer now, that's his gimmick.

12:32.342 --> 12:33.644
[SPEAKER_00]: You gotta put guys down.

12:33.724 --> 12:36.707
[SPEAKER_00]: You gotta make it believable and he put AJ to sleep.

12:37.167 --> 12:39.730
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, do we think that AJ's done?

12:39.710 --> 12:41.272
[SPEAKER_00]: honestly don't think so.

12:41.733 --> 12:50.805
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think a more four more retirement what happened for AJ probably next year because I think he's going to go on a bit of an excursion to close out his career.

12:50.845 --> 12:59.136
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so let's let's talk about this because I was on Rustling Observer radio yesterday and I asked Dave Meltzer.

13:00.247 --> 13:06.153
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it possible that he has just done with WWE, and he can still go somewhere else?

13:06.393 --> 13:13.861
[SPEAKER_01]: And of course, the place that exists that is almost perfect for someone like AJ style, it actually is perfect for someone like AJ style.

13:14.982 --> 13:15.723
[SPEAKER_01]: Is AEW?

13:16.784 --> 13:22.530
[SPEAKER_01]: Will Osprey just tweeted the words phenomenal after the match was over.

13:23.872 --> 13:27.115
[SPEAKER_01]: Could he go to AEW?

13:28.141 --> 13:43.905
[SPEAKER_01]: It, like, I don't know if Tony Khan would be okay with like a one year deal, um, they are more in the, you know, when you're signing guys, you're talking about three and five year deals, uh, maybe three at a minimum,

13:44.037 --> 13:52.832
[SPEAKER_01]: if AJ really really wants to end his career, you know, sooner than later, I don't know if that could happen in AEW.

13:53.333 --> 13:54.916
[SPEAKER_01]: There is the opportunity for TNA.

13:54.936 --> 14:01.588
[SPEAKER_01]: But I imagine if he wanted to do TNA, he could have done TNA all last year, you know, maybe if he could have worked that out.

14:02.189 --> 14:04.172
[SPEAKER_01]: But

14:05.266 --> 14:11.585
[SPEAKER_01]: It is an interesting predicament because the money is so big for him to retire now.

14:11.766 --> 14:17.503
[SPEAKER_01]: He has not been this in demand, at least as far as I can tell.

14:17.652 --> 14:31.318
[SPEAKER_01]: for maybe since he got here in WWE, like he can actually call his shot right now because he is so over and people are so into the idea of the wrestling cross wrestlers crossing over.

14:31.378 --> 14:39.373
[SPEAKER_01]: And it feels like he's just gonna be thrown away money if he doesn't entertain this opportunity.

14:40.501 --> 14:41.242
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he will.

14:42.203 --> 14:43.425
[SPEAKER_00]: Clearly he's not done.

14:43.465 --> 14:46.269
[SPEAKER_00]: It just depends on the parameters of how you want to do it.

14:46.789 --> 14:52.477
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't imagine Tony saying, hey, I'll sign you to a six month contract for for all your fantasy matches.

14:52.497 --> 14:53.638
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he would do that.

14:54.079 --> 14:57.563
[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, you're trying to honor the retirement match, step.

14:57.944 --> 15:07.977
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Cena has done that effectively when he made his announcement almost two years ago about his retirement

15:08.395 --> 15:09.596
[SPEAKER_00]: idea in line.

15:09.676 --> 15:12.640
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you honor that to a point?

15:13.080 --> 15:25.354
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, also knocking off your bucket list smash just before you formally retire because I think if this is the end of the road for the WWE run, it was flat honestly speaking because at least you want to end on a better note than this.

15:25.434 --> 15:29.398
[SPEAKER_00]: Very flat for the last Monday night raw, very flat for the world.

15:29.418 --> 15:34.504
[SPEAKER_01]: You're rumble like this is how we going out like, oh, so did you not like the match that they did today?

15:34.484 --> 15:35.766
[SPEAKER_00]: I enjoy the match.

15:35.786 --> 15:43.936
[SPEAKER_00]: I think if this is his last day in WWE, this was a very slack way to go out in terms of presentation.

15:44.817 --> 15:52.166
[SPEAKER_00]: Even if he's not done wrestling, his WWE end should have been a bit more better in terms of presentation for me.

15:53.668 --> 16:03.580
[SPEAKER_01]: So the other thing about this, and I also brought this up on Wrestling Observer Radio with

16:04.268 --> 16:32.318
[SPEAKER_01]: that he was headed to AEW, would they have done what they did with the Nakamura match with this match, this match was almost more important to a lot of people than both rumbles because of what the what the steps were and because they wanted to see what happened, would they deliver him to AEW on a platter or would they look at it as like, look, you know,

16:32.872 --> 16:37.983
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to celebrate him because he was our guy and, you know, you know, kind of like the edge thing.

16:38.003 --> 16:43.815
[SPEAKER_01]: But even edge, who'd been around since the late 90s, edge didn't get this kind of farewell.

16:44.316 --> 16:50.369
[SPEAKER_01]: Like this was a pretty darn big deal to where AJ Styles was out in front of the camera.

16:50.449 --> 16:53.395
[SPEAKER_01]: More so than he'd had been in a long, long time.

16:53.915 --> 17:06.658
[SPEAKER_00]: That is true, but it is wonder in terms of like final appearances in WWE, especially in Toronto from Monday Night Raw, is that how you want that last appearance to go?

17:06.740 --> 17:08.062
[SPEAKER_00]: before he leaves.

17:08.863 --> 17:14.910
[SPEAKER_00]: Because he wanted to end a little bit better than that, even though he might go somewhere, he's going to make the decision one way or another.

17:14.970 --> 17:25.062
[SPEAKER_00]: But I would like for him to leave in a better way than that because it was just so open-ended, he loses to CM Punk.

17:25.082 --> 17:31.330
[SPEAKER_00]: He gets

17:32.305 --> 17:33.066
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

17:33.086 --> 17:45.588
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's, you know, I don't know the particulars, but there are rumors that there's going to be more people going for me, WWE and more people going the other way.

17:45.648 --> 17:49.475
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to see whether they're top tier talent or not.

17:50.797 --> 17:54.564
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know that for sure, but there are rumors that there's going to be more crossovers.

17:54.644 --> 17:56.828
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, we saw one of them today.

17:57.820 --> 17:59.142
[SPEAKER_01]: in Royce Keys.

17:59.202 --> 18:02.305
[SPEAKER_01]: I still think they should have called them Royce to five eleven.

18:03.407 --> 18:21.128
[SPEAKER_01]: He showed up and they even mentioned they had little graphic that says he's formerly known as power house Hobbs, which was really interesting, but he was one of those guys who's now over another one who we didn't see tonight, who we fully expect to see.

18:21.749 --> 18:37.969
[SPEAKER_01]: is Chris Jericho and I had been feeling that if Jericho was going to return this would not be it because of kind of what we said with the reactions and and you know the manipulation of Jericho knows how to.

18:37.949 --> 18:39.231
[SPEAKER_01]: do this type of thing.

18:39.251 --> 18:53.429
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it seems like Chicago for the elimination chamber would be better, or, you know, whatever the next big raw or SmackDown is for him that that where he would kind of figure out what the what the right place is to come back.

18:53.449 --> 18:55.893
[SPEAKER_01]: So this stuff is going to keep happening.

18:56.053 --> 18:58.917
[SPEAKER_01]: And on the other side, you had to muscle Chiampa show up.

18:58.957 --> 19:01.560
[SPEAKER_01]: I know he has a match on collision.

19:01.540 --> 19:02.362
[SPEAKER_01]: later tonight.

19:02.802 --> 19:06.549
[SPEAKER_01]: So things are kind of popping again in this free agency.

19:07.010 --> 19:10.657
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, and it's, it's really, really good for wrestling because you can do stuff.

19:11.078 --> 19:17.770
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I don't know if they did it big enough for, for Royce Keys, but it was, it was good to see him.

19:18.011 --> 19:22.579
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I was kind of told like, you know, more than likely he would be in this match.

19:23.221 --> 19:25.084
[SPEAKER_01]: So I wasn't really surprised, but

19:26.363 --> 19:27.104
[SPEAKER_01]: It's good.

19:27.124 --> 19:29.248
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's good for processing in general.

19:29.328 --> 19:34.437
[SPEAKER_01]: It's good for fans to anticipate that this can continue to happen.

19:34.838 --> 19:41.229
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it did, you know, three or three years ago or so, where it felt like every other week, somebody could show up.

19:41.529 --> 19:45.796
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, you know, it's starting to happen a little bit again, which I think is really good for wrestling.

19:47.680 --> 19:48.020
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

19:49.262 --> 19:51.426
[SPEAKER_01]: If I've a negative about this show,

19:52.081 --> 19:56.329
[SPEAKER_01]: My one negative is the beginning of the women's rumble.

19:56.389 --> 20:06.928
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think the beginning was very good, but I did think that it picked up maybe the last half of it and really the last seven or eight minutes was awesome.

20:07.710 --> 20:10.174
[SPEAKER_01]: But the other negative of this show for me,

20:11.605 --> 20:13.908
[SPEAKER_01]: is the Sammy and Drew scenario.

20:14.389 --> 20:30.473
[SPEAKER_01]: And I brought this up in a couple different places this week because I was actually a little worried because both the AJ and Gunther dynamic and the Sammy and Drew dynamic were like way too similar.

20:30.533 --> 20:38.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Like how are you gonna tell the similar stories of smaller baby faces facing these big bad heels?

20:38.605 --> 20:57.252
[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought the Sammy and Drew match suffered because of having to follow Gunther and AJ Gunther and AJ very emotional like you were kind of spent like oh man I can't believe they did it and then you know we had to go through the like a five minute commercial break and it's like a Drew and Drew and Sammy are up next now.

20:57.292 --> 20:59.455
[SPEAKER_01]: How are they going to follow that?

20:59.595 --> 21:02.419
[SPEAKER_01]: And this story was like

21:03.479 --> 21:10.185
[SPEAKER_01]: Sammy's just getting beat up and he's getting beat up and up here's a you know here's a near fall Here's a near fall.

21:10.305 --> 21:10.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope.

21:10.645 --> 21:29.062
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't believe he's winning and I'm not sure he's winning It doesn't look like he's winning and that just loses two two kicks to the mug and he was out of there I kind of I thought that this was maybe a mistake Maybe they should have actually put this in front of AJ and Gunther Instead of after AJ and Gunther.

21:29.102 --> 21:33.486
[SPEAKER_01]: I think maybe if they could Monday morning quarterback this they probably would have done just that

21:33.466 --> 21:42.269
[SPEAKER_00]: To me the match placement doesn't matter as much because I was emotionally checked out when this match was announced.

21:42.890 --> 21:44.775
[SPEAKER_00]: I knew Sammy wasn't going to win.

21:45.987 --> 21:47.709
[SPEAKER_00]: had no motion investment.

21:48.510 --> 21:51.233
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't believe for one second he was going to win that match.

21:51.733 --> 21:59.522
[SPEAKER_00]: So match placement doesn't matter if it happened before AJ and Gunther after it was going to affect how I felt because I knew he wasn't going to win.

21:59.562 --> 22:03.086
[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like we were missing the peak with Sammy.

22:03.126 --> 22:07.451
[SPEAKER_00]: They can wait a whole year to run it back in Saudi Arabia for next year's WrestleMania.

22:07.872 --> 22:09.193
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think the peak

22:09.173 --> 22:16.262
[SPEAKER_00]: with Sammy being a champion, a main champion, the guy was three years ago, and I love Sammy Zane.

22:16.703 --> 22:19.386
[SPEAKER_00]: But the booking is done more harm than good.

22:19.526 --> 22:26.596
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think I can wait another year for him to get coordinated at WrestleMania because it's in Saudi Arabia.

22:27.016 --> 22:29.219
[SPEAKER_00]: Because of the setting, now it gets to happen.

22:29.479 --> 22:30.861
[SPEAKER_00]: I just can't.

22:30.841 --> 22:38.190
[SPEAKER_00]: wrap my head around that and get up for that when we missed a peak years ago and this match, I knew how it was going to end.

22:38.330 --> 22:43.076
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not anticipate a big upset and I was proven to be correct.

22:44.759 --> 22:51.427
[SPEAKER_01]: The idea of Sammy winning the big one, I still think it happened.

22:52.689 --> 22:59.397
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you said, where we were a couple of years ago, there's nowhere near that now.

23:00.170 --> 23:02.713
[SPEAKER_01]: And how do they, how do they redo that?

23:02.854 --> 23:05.157
[SPEAKER_01]: How do they get us back to at least close?

23:05.798 --> 23:08.942
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was watching these last few weeks very closely.

23:08.982 --> 23:18.014
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I was like, OK, if Sam is going to be in this match, the crowd has to want him to desperately win the audience.

23:18.054 --> 23:19.716
[SPEAKER_01]: He has to want him to desperately win.

23:20.057 --> 23:22.380
[SPEAKER_01]: And I saw the way he was being booked.

23:22.462 --> 23:23.323
[SPEAKER_01]: on SmackDown.

23:24.024 --> 23:26.787
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, Sam is kind of a dick.

23:26.887 --> 23:31.132
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, if I'm Damien Priest, I want to slap the taste out of the student's mouth, too.

23:31.533 --> 23:40.543
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I didn't really see him as like that underdog baby face, that Brian Danielson, Daniel Bryan baby face from from 2013.

23:40.603 --> 23:43.727
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what he needs to be.

23:43.707 --> 23:45.290
[SPEAKER_01]: And he is nowhere near that.

23:46.011 --> 23:48.836
[SPEAKER_01]: And these last couple of weeks, I don't think helped either.

23:49.959 --> 23:52.363
[SPEAKER_01]: So kind of frustrating to see what they did.

23:52.383 --> 23:55.849
[SPEAKER_01]: But maybe this is kind of the hurdle.

23:56.691 --> 23:59.536
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he climbs all the way back to where he was.

23:59.556 --> 24:01.159
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's when we thought last year was.

24:01.179 --> 24:05.968
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's when we thought when he actually beat Gunther was,

24:05.948 --> 24:20.529
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I don't I don't know it's it seems to be a little bit too much start and stop with him Maybe he maybe they want KO to come back and that's a big piece of the story is to have KO come back And that can be beneficial to the Sammy story.

24:21.070 --> 24:35.331
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe that's why we're waiting and seeing But yeah, I just didn't it just wasn't there for me and I kind of felt bad because There was a discussion going on in the discord and in my buddy Larry

24:36.307 --> 24:41.234
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like, top guys don't grow on trees, you know, stars don't grow on trees.

24:41.274 --> 24:45.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe there is a differentiation point here between who is and who isn't.

24:46.341 --> 24:49.445
[SPEAKER_01]: But I still think Sammy can can go up from here.

24:49.865 --> 24:52.930
[SPEAKER_01]: They just have to be really good with the creative and they got to be constant.

24:52.950 --> 24:54.592
[SPEAKER_01]: And they got to be thoughtful about it.

24:55.173 --> 24:56.635
[SPEAKER_01]: And they need to give him some hurdles.

24:56.815 --> 25:00.660
[SPEAKER_01]: And they need to get those fans invested in Sammy again, which is easier said than done.

25:02.294 --> 25:08.483
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, let's talk about the WrestleMania matches that we think.

25:08.523 --> 25:13.990
[SPEAKER_01]: You already mentioned Punk and Roman, that seems to be right.

25:14.551 --> 25:17.756
[SPEAKER_01]: I would guess based on what we saw tonight.

25:17.816 --> 25:23.584
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think Roman versus Drew is necessarily on the table.

25:24.465 --> 25:28.791
[SPEAKER_01]: What about for live, what do you see with live coming out of this show?

25:29.817 --> 25:37.579
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, probably live versus Stephanie, because they tease it on television when she first came back to WWE.

25:38.120 --> 25:39.624
[SPEAKER_00]: I see Fernando has a suggestion.

25:39.645 --> 25:41.530
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't foresee that.

25:41.550 --> 25:42.733
[SPEAKER_00]: It will be a celebration.

25:42.753 --> 25:44.839
[SPEAKER_01]: It will be a celebration as live as we can digest it.

25:44.819 --> 25:54.277
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't foresee it, but I do like the tease of her and we're kale after the rumble that might be post-Rossomania because she's got to get excommunicated from the judgment day cursed.

25:54.898 --> 26:00.569
[SPEAKER_00]: That's got to happen down the road like Roxanne and Rekka got to put the boot store good at the group immediately.

26:00.709 --> 26:02.853
[SPEAKER_00]: So I see that happening down the road.

26:02.873 --> 26:07.722
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do like the idea of live versus Stephanie because Stephanie needs

26:07.702 --> 26:10.426
[SPEAKER_00]: really, really good match of WrestleMania.

26:10.446 --> 26:14.911
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think lives a great opponent for her to really pull out the best in each other at WrestleMania.

26:15.552 --> 26:24.164
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think with the landscape being the year that it is, a women's match can potentially main event this year's WrestleMania.

26:25.926 --> 26:28.309
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that the one that you think would mean event?

26:28.964 --> 26:34.092
[SPEAKER_01]: There's another match that's out there.

26:34.272 --> 26:36.295
[SPEAKER_00]: My is somewhere else, not that one.

26:36.876 --> 26:41.763
[SPEAKER_01]: That I would love to see, but we didn't see anything set up.

26:41.803 --> 26:44.507
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I was, I picked Bianca to win the Royal Rumble.

26:44.548 --> 26:45.589
[SPEAKER_01]: She wasn't even in the match.

26:45.829 --> 26:50.196
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that is still a shot for me.

26:50.513 --> 26:57.482
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, I think everyone is kind of waiting for the moment for Rhea and Bianca to finally happen.

26:57.522 --> 27:08.356
[SPEAKER_01]: The seeds do not seem to be set because Rhea and Io are still in their tag team, their tag team championship run.

27:08.396 --> 27:11.880
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, they almost set up

27:12.012 --> 27:25.077
[SPEAKER_01]: more interest in the tag division based on a lot of what happened in the rumble tonight or today, then anything else in the singles like if you think about it, what are you more interested

27:26.086 --> 27:50.237
[SPEAKER_01]: Jade versus Jordan Grace, and live versus Stephanie Vicarre, or are you interested in re and e-o versus Oscar and Kyrie, or versus the Bella's, or versus Lyra and Bailey, or versus Charlotte and Alexa, like that, the tag division seems to be more interesting right now than the singles division for the women.

27:51.010 --> 28:04.706
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I pray for times like these, but it's like kind of the detriment of your singles division too, because it's so stacked with really good singles wrestlers as tag teams right now, but it doesn't leave a lot of room for the singles to shine.

28:05.247 --> 28:13.457
[SPEAKER_00]: And you were left a bit more intrigued by the tag team combinations of the teams you mentioned that could be a really good match of WrestleMania.

28:13.437 --> 28:27.504
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they have to unpack a lot of these teams post-Restimanias, pull into them off and get back to singles wrestling for these two divisions that need some bodies in there right now because it's top-heavy with tech teams.

28:27.724 --> 28:36.120
[SPEAKER_00]: I love to see it because the matches have been very good, but it does create an issue in terms of depth for your women's champions for both shows.

28:36.978 --> 28:42.704
[SPEAKER_01]: Fernando suggested Jade versus Charlotte, which is pretty interesting.

28:42.744 --> 28:44.445
[SPEAKER_01]: They've kind of been teasing that.

28:45.466 --> 28:47.028
[SPEAKER_01]: I could definitely see that happening.

28:47.568 --> 28:49.170
[SPEAKER_01]: Charlotte as a baby face.

28:50.151 --> 28:52.834
[SPEAKER_01]: Charlotte is more over this year as a baby face.

28:53.154 --> 28:56.317
[SPEAKER_01]: Doing part thanks to Alexa Bliss than she has been.

28:56.377 --> 28:57.859
[SPEAKER_01]: So I could definitely see that.

28:58.379 --> 29:00.601
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Alexa has to be involved in some way.

29:00.641 --> 29:02.243
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe Jade just,

29:02.223 --> 29:06.388
[SPEAKER_01]: kills Alexa and Charlotte's got to fight for her in some way.

29:06.508 --> 29:07.549
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they at that could work.

29:09.411 --> 29:15.658
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you think of, so there are a couple things and we'll get to the women's match here in a second.

29:16.238 --> 29:23.046
[SPEAKER_01]: There were two things that stood out to me as kind of like, one, brown breaker.

29:24.767 --> 29:28.011
[SPEAKER_01]: Brown breaker has had so much focused on him.

29:28.801 --> 29:31.967
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was thinking like, oh man, like this is a really good idea.

29:32.007 --> 29:35.593
[SPEAKER_01]: You focused on these up-and-comers because David, it would be still hot.

29:36.034 --> 29:42.585
[SPEAKER_01]: No matter what I think of the creative currently, and no matter what I thought of the creative last year, and how bored I was a lot of the time.

29:43.126 --> 29:45.430
[SPEAKER_01]: Business wise, they're still hot.

29:45.510 --> 29:47.634
[SPEAKER_01]: They're still doing really good attendance.

29:48.015 --> 29:52.142
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure the show on ESPN is gonna end up doing very well for them.

29:53.101 --> 30:01.337
[SPEAKER_01]: But Braunbreaker, who's been the focus of Monday Night Raw for the last couple months, he goes out in the beginning of the match.

30:01.618 --> 30:09.253
[SPEAKER_01]: We had a hooded figure in black hoodie and black pants.

30:09.740 --> 30:15.432
[SPEAKER_01]: who they wanted us to think was Seth Rollins, but was nowhere near the body type of Seth Rollins.

30:16.174 --> 30:18.098
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I thought it was for a second?

30:18.238 --> 30:21.585
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, oh, that's Adam Pierce, but I don't think it was Adam Pierce either.

30:22.948 --> 30:24.190
[SPEAKER_01]: You know who it may have been.

30:24.311 --> 30:25.453
[SPEAKER_01]: It may have been.

30:26.395 --> 30:30.804
[SPEAKER_01]: Grayson Waller, so it may have been and I'm not sure he was a little skinny though.

30:30.884 --> 30:45.332
[SPEAKER_01]: I was trying to think of who is that skinny Who could have been in that in that set up, but so Braun gets stomped out for the match starts gets tossed in and then oh, but just tosses him immediately so I thought that was weird like

30:45.987 --> 31:13.227
[SPEAKER_01]: don't you want brawn to kind of shine in this match like I would have assumed that you know he's gonna be one of the guys highlighted as we get to the end but he was not the other one was Becky what happened to Becky she's like the the focus of the very first episode of unreal she's you know just doing her her character her her very Donald making fun of Donald Trump kind of character

31:13.291 --> 31:16.596
[SPEAKER_01]: And she just gets tossed out like so quickly in the women's world world.

31:16.616 --> 31:19.601
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, those were the two that kind of left me scratching my head a little bit.

31:20.703 --> 31:23.327
[SPEAKER_00]: I will make three that one confused me.

31:23.347 --> 31:25.631
[SPEAKER_00]: The bond breaker elimination confused me.

31:25.671 --> 31:30.979
[SPEAKER_00]: The very odd Brock Lesnar elimination confused me as well.

31:31.540 --> 31:35.346
[SPEAKER_00]: Michael Cole was like, looking for something else.

31:36.088 --> 31:39.433
[SPEAKER_01]: I can just like, oh, Brock.

31:39.700 --> 31:41.302
[SPEAKER_01]: Brock is out of this match.

31:41.583 --> 31:44.227
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and let me go on to what the next thing is.

31:44.247 --> 31:45.669
[SPEAKER_01]: That's like, what's going on here?

31:45.689 --> 31:49.595
[SPEAKER_00]: The most anti-climactic elimination.

31:49.655 --> 31:53.781
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, what in the world is happening?

31:55.404 --> 31:59.330
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, Brock flew all the way over there for this.

31:59.370 --> 32:03.176
[SPEAKER_00]: And the elimination meant nothing.

32:03.196 --> 32:04.037
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

32:04.137 --> 32:05.279
[SPEAKER_00]: It meant very little.

32:05.459 --> 32:07.362
[SPEAKER_00]: I was shocked.

32:07.595 --> 32:12.827
[SPEAKER_01]: Cody and Ellie night, just, you know, the ultimate duo right there, taking the new maga power.

32:12.847 --> 32:13.969
[SPEAKER_00]: Is this chicken right on out?

32:15.834 --> 32:16.054
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

32:16.074 --> 32:18.079
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go through the, uh, all these matches.

32:18.139 --> 32:20.564
[SPEAKER_01]: I have, I have all the eliminations, I think.

32:20.584 --> 32:21.386
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I have them all.

32:21.867 --> 32:22.128
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

32:22.148 --> 32:23.511
[SPEAKER_01]: So women's match.

32:23.660 --> 32:33.813
[SPEAKER_01]: Charlotte number one, Alexa number two, you know, when I was growing up demolition acts and demolition smash were one and two in one of these matches.

32:33.833 --> 32:35.095
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're like, oh, no way.

32:35.175 --> 32:36.116
[SPEAKER_01]: That's so cool.

32:36.156 --> 32:39.100
[SPEAKER_01]: They do this so much now.

32:39.321 --> 32:41.624
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, they have partners, follow each other.

32:41.684 --> 32:43.787
[SPEAKER_01]: They have cousins, follow each other.

32:43.847 --> 32:44.908
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like,

32:44.888 --> 32:47.271
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not even making it seem random anymore.

32:47.291 --> 32:53.399
[SPEAKER_01]: But anyways, Charlotte and Alexa out together, they were teasing that they're going to turn on each other.

32:53.439 --> 32:59.186
[SPEAKER_01]: But ultimately, just decided, you know, no, we're going to be united here.

32:59.206 --> 33:00.488
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to be homies in this match.

33:00.969 --> 33:12.904
[SPEAKER_01]: They pretended putting each other in moves and such, but they were united until there was an accident down the line here.

33:12.884 --> 33:30.076
[SPEAKER_01]: and I thought she was going a little bit too fast, but she's also very athletic and you can tell that she felt or at least she's feeling that, you know, there are eyes on her, like they really do think that she's, you know, going to be something.

33:31.058 --> 33:33.482
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a moment like very early in this match.

33:33.502 --> 33:36.107
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just her Charlotte and Alexa.

33:36.087 --> 33:56.931
[SPEAKER_01]: She does the thing where she's on the apron on the outside of the ring and she does the shoulder tackle into Alexa and Alexis was take the bump so she can be on her back and then Kiana could do the front, you know, dive over the top rope and hit a move on her I think Alexa forgot like she just sold as if like someone hit her in the stomach and then she was like

33:56.911 --> 33:58.773
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh wait, I have to take a back bump.

33:58.993 --> 34:03.799
[SPEAKER_01]: And so then she just falls down like it's like, oh no, right in the beginning of this match.

34:04.920 --> 34:12.268
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so Kiana, so Kiana, you know, I don't, I don't know if I can't tell if Kiana is good or not.

34:12.348 --> 34:13.409
[SPEAKER_01]: That, that is my thing.

34:13.449 --> 34:20.817
[SPEAKER_01]: I could tell that they like her, but I can't tell if she's going to be able to fill what they want her to fill.

34:20.917 --> 34:23.340
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you think about

34:24.485 --> 34:25.907
[SPEAKER_00]: Kiana has potential.

34:26.227 --> 34:27.830
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw that when she was on NXT.

34:28.651 --> 34:30.413
[SPEAKER_00]: ACL injury is held her back.

34:30.433 --> 34:33.477
[SPEAKER_00]: She's getting confidence and then, again, which is good to see.

34:34.038 --> 34:36.141
[SPEAKER_00]: She needs more reps. She needs some heat.

34:36.321 --> 34:41.709
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think the partnership with Julia is working for me because they don't have natural chemistry.

34:42.229 --> 34:43.371
[SPEAKER_00]: That is an issue.

34:43.351 --> 34:50.541
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think once they separate and like he on a kind of flourish and I know the show that sees a lot of her too because they work their work at buddies.

34:50.902 --> 34:58.473
[SPEAKER_00]: So if she can kind of go under Charlotte's wing a little bit and kind of up the presentation, find her way as a single performer.

34:58.593 --> 34:59.875
[SPEAKER_00]: I do see potential with her.

35:00.276 --> 35:03.901
[SPEAKER_00]: I think because of the injury, she's still knocking off the ring grass.

35:03.921 --> 35:05.183
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't see her full potential.

35:05.503 --> 35:10.270
[SPEAKER_00]: But I saw a lot of it on NXT when she was up and coming with Tiffany Stratton a couple of years ago.

35:11.448 --> 35:14.071
[SPEAKER_01]: Lady V said the Charlotte Alexa suffers too cute.

35:14.091 --> 35:14.832
[SPEAKER_01]: They overthought it.

35:14.892 --> 35:28.029
[SPEAKER_01]: Can't wait to see how Tyson kid explains this on a future episode of unreal Like can you imagine like triple age being in the headset of the referee going like okay Alexa pretend to put her in the sister Abigail.

35:28.170 --> 35:29.031
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

35:29.251 --> 35:38.603
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay now Charlotte's certain pretend to put her in the figure eight And now get on each other's back and and wave to the is like come on man He's triplets doing too much on that show

35:39.393 --> 35:48.535
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, okay, then I jacks came in and her and Kiana James also had a couple of, uh, maybe untimed spots together.

35:48.575 --> 35:50.540
[SPEAKER_01]: Then it was Ivy Nile.

35:50.701 --> 35:52.044
[SPEAKER_01]: She started suplexing everybody.

35:52.064 --> 35:53.888
[SPEAKER_01]: There's only five people in right now.

35:54.329 --> 35:56.254
[SPEAKER_01]: Low Levi's was in next.

35:56.234 --> 35:59.479
[SPEAKER_01]: I was wondering if Lola Vice was going to be able to do her dance.

35:59.619 --> 36:04.125
[SPEAKER_01]: She was able to do her dance and then Naya also decided to do her dance.

36:05.648 --> 36:13.960
[SPEAKER_01]: Kiana James, the most impressive thing she did in this match was get Naya Jackson, the Simone drop position, and hit it, I thought that was really impressive.

36:14.220 --> 36:17.925
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, secretly, Kiana James is like an incredible physique.

36:18.666 --> 36:19.828
[SPEAKER_01]: They kind of,

36:19.808 --> 36:26.676
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they they covered up a little bit, but if you remember her from NXT, she's she's she's she's she's pretty strong.

36:27.818 --> 36:29.300
[SPEAKER_01]: Candace Loray was in next.

36:29.940 --> 36:33.765
[SPEAKER_01]: Then Jordan Grace Jordan Grace went on a little bit of a run here.

36:33.845 --> 36:38.411
[SPEAKER_01]: She dumped out little vice dumped out Candace and then she dumped out Ivy.

36:38.431 --> 36:42.816
[SPEAKER_01]: So she's the first one to kind of get anybody out and she got the first three out of there.

36:44.358 --> 36:47.622
[SPEAKER_01]: And then.

36:47.838 --> 36:58.655
[SPEAKER_01]: Charlotte and Alexa double teamed Naya and Charlotte hit a big boot on Naya, but then Alexa was hanging on to Naya as well.

36:58.755 --> 37:00.858
[SPEAKER_01]: So she went out with Naya.

37:00.878 --> 37:09.292
[SPEAKER_01]: So this Charlotte and Alexa team Charlotte went for the big home run swing and unfortunately Alexa got hit as well.

37:09.372 --> 37:14.740
[SPEAKER_01]: So she was out and then Becky was in next and her and Charlotte would add it a little bit.

37:14.720 --> 37:38.955
[SPEAKER_01]: a Charlotte a little bit over the top with her her trash talk there and to weigh that Becky was selling these chops like it was like a seesaw like Charlotte would hit a chop Becky would like go back and then Becky would come all the way back to the front so that Charlotte could hit her again it was a little interesting a little a little bit of overacting by both of them I thought and then

37:39.712 --> 37:43.958
[SPEAKER_01]: The most awesome person in this match came in at a number.

37:44.098 --> 37:46.502
[SPEAKER_01]: She was at number 10, Seoul, Ruka.

37:47.843 --> 37:53.511
[SPEAKER_01]: This can we just like not even pretend that she's still in it.

37:53.531 --> 37:58.599
[SPEAKER_01]: Like why is she not on the main roster in every great spot for the win?

37:58.619 --> 38:00.662
[SPEAKER_01]: Like what are we waiting for with Seoul Ruka?

38:00.702 --> 38:03.846
[SPEAKER_01]: She was the best person in this entire match.

38:04.096 --> 38:05.359
[SPEAKER_00]: She was fantastic.

38:06.001 --> 38:14.704
[SPEAKER_00]: My prophecy is being fulfilled that I said that she was gonna be a game changer in the main division for the Women's Division in WWE.

38:15.125 --> 38:17.872
[SPEAKER_00]: She was fantastic in this match.

38:18.534 --> 38:19.236
[SPEAKER_00]: And

38:19.216 --> 38:26.685
[SPEAKER_00]: Even though I knew what was going to win, I was like, can we just call an audible at the very last minute and give so the win?

38:27.165 --> 38:29.708
[SPEAKER_00]: She was the glue down the stretch.

38:30.169 --> 38:34.774
[SPEAKER_00]: She provided the spark, the excitement, everything I wanted she gave me.

38:34.834 --> 38:41.322
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's a long pass overdue that she gets called up immediately after WrestleMania weekend.

38:41.462 --> 38:44.886
[SPEAKER_00]: If not sooner, but they're going to wait until after WrestleMania.

38:45.980 --> 39:05.088
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, she, you know, there, there were a couple of people that stood out and they, you know, obviously this is created opportunities, right, they see everything in Seoul, Ruka, so they gave her these opportunities, similarly on the men's side, Oberfemi and Javan Evans as well.

39:05.288 --> 39:08.393
[SPEAKER_01]: Now Javan was there more.

39:08.727 --> 39:13.412
[SPEAKER_01]: because he can just take these amazing bumps and he can fly all over the place.

39:13.432 --> 39:17.276
[SPEAKER_01]: He wasn't necessarily there to showcase that he could actually win the match.

39:17.957 --> 39:25.004
[SPEAKER_01]: But you could tell who they were trying to put a shine on and I thought they did a fantastic job of soul-ruking.

39:25.024 --> 39:30.370
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, she had to do her job as well and it was, I thought she was just excellent in this match.

39:31.811 --> 39:36.456
[SPEAKER_01]: Maxine Dupri came in and she was running.

39:37.685 --> 39:41.529
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, why is she running like this?

39:41.649 --> 39:44.171
[SPEAKER_01]: Like no human runs like this.

39:44.892 --> 39:46.894
[SPEAKER_01]: She kind of had her arms like way up.

39:46.914 --> 39:50.838
[SPEAKER_01]: And she's like, you know, she's kind of tall and I thought about it.

39:50.858 --> 40:00.327
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, oh, she must have watched the last mission impossible because that is exactly how Tom Cruise runs in mission impossible.

40:01.068 --> 40:05.312
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was like, Maxine, come on, like,

40:05.697 --> 40:07.380
[SPEAKER_01]: has some charisma.

40:07.740 --> 40:09.943
[SPEAKER_01]: She has a really cool personality.

40:09.983 --> 40:18.276
[SPEAKER_01]: They've kind of forced her into whatever her role is in WWE right now, which is like this shooter gimmick, and you can tell she's not comfortable in it.

40:19.097 --> 40:21.160
[SPEAKER_01]: Who tells her to do all of these things?

40:21.220 --> 40:28.431
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I know somewhere in there is

40:28.698 --> 40:31.381
[SPEAKER_01]: joy, like she did with the Alpha Academy.

40:32.142 --> 40:34.064
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I mean with Otis.

40:34.084 --> 40:36.267
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and she's like has a personnel.

40:36.287 --> 40:37.969
[SPEAKER_01]: She has a natural personality in there.

40:38.029 --> 40:39.411
[SPEAKER_01]: What, what are they doing with her?

40:40.151 --> 40:41.233
[SPEAKER_00]: She's being overcoached.

40:42.054 --> 40:44.096
[SPEAKER_00]: She's being told to pull faces to do too much.

40:44.156 --> 40:45.298
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a problem for me.

40:45.658 --> 40:47.320
[SPEAKER_00]: Because she's naturally charismatic.

40:47.360 --> 40:49.202
[SPEAKER_00]: I see it all at the time when she's backstage.

40:49.583 --> 40:50.824
[SPEAKER_00]: So they need to

40:50.804 --> 40:52.747
[SPEAKER_00]: tell her not to do those things.

40:53.187 --> 40:58.535
[SPEAKER_00]: And she needs that to listen to those people to do the things that she's doing right now because this is a detriment.

40:58.555 --> 41:04.042
[SPEAKER_00]: She comes off as cartoon versus being a real person that we know that she can because we've seen that before.

41:04.182 --> 41:16.339
[SPEAKER_00]: So whatever is going on behind the scenes, whoever is coaching her, a producer, a writer, they need to stop because it's making her look a little foolish out there when she can be so much more than that.

41:17.703 --> 41:19.087
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to see that unreal.

41:19.668 --> 41:20.350
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to see.

41:20.410 --> 41:21.292
[SPEAKER_01]: Who is it?

41:21.693 --> 41:22.636
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's critchurch?

41:23.558 --> 41:24.019
[SPEAKER_00]: Bruce?

41:25.343 --> 41:25.944
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it Bruce?

41:26.024 --> 41:26.807
[SPEAKER_00]: I bet it's Bruce.

41:28.050 --> 41:29.112
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll justify it too.

41:29.574 --> 41:30.697
[SPEAKER_00]: We need more character.

41:32.281 --> 41:34.767
[SPEAKER_01]: Like he's like, okay, here's what you got to study.

41:36.535 --> 41:38.437
[SPEAKER_01]: whenever brie goes into brie mode.

41:38.878 --> 41:40.439
[SPEAKER_01]: I want you to do that the whole match.

41:40.840 --> 41:42.902
[SPEAKER_01]: Just 100% of brie mode.

41:43.263 --> 41:45.725
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, no, brie mode works because she's firing up.

41:45.806 --> 41:50.931
[SPEAKER_01]: She doesn't at the right, the very specific time can't do it the whole match.

41:51.092 --> 42:00.282
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, I don't like picking on Maxing because it's very clear that she's early in her career and she's getting some bad guidance here.

42:01.207 --> 42:03.790
[SPEAKER_01]: So Natty is in next, she's no longer Natalia.

42:04.591 --> 42:07.614
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you think about this low-key legend nickname?

42:08.635 --> 42:09.436
[SPEAKER_00]: I love Natty.

42:10.137 --> 42:10.677
[SPEAKER_00]: I love her.

42:11.438 --> 42:17.204
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that she's one of the greats in terms of being a pure wrestler, but no, you not low-key legend.

42:18.385 --> 42:19.907
[SPEAKER_00]: You low-key, very good at your job.

42:20.147 --> 42:24.932
[SPEAKER_00]: You've done it so well for almost 20 years and I love you down, but no, we cannot lie like this.

42:26.234 --> 42:27.315
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think,

42:28.578 --> 42:42.641
[SPEAKER_01]: that she herself doesn't believe she's a legend, but because she puts the phrase low key in front of it, she's like, maybe I can be almost a legend, like sort of a legend.

42:43.362 --> 42:45.065
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I don't know, I don't like that nickname.

42:45.085 --> 42:48.791
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Nadie, if you, if you are a legend, just call yourself a legend.

42:48.811 --> 42:50.473
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to qualify.

42:51.315 --> 42:52.797
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever it is, but I

42:53.266 --> 42:57.632
[SPEAKER_01]: Natty and Maxine, Natty and Becky did some stuff here.

42:58.973 --> 43:04.981
[SPEAKER_01]: So Becky tosses out Maxine, and then Natty's the one who threw out Becky, which is the one I was surprised with.

43:05.922 --> 43:16.576
[SPEAKER_01]: Liv Morgan's in next, then it was Lash Legend, and talk about another star making performance here, somebody who was booked to be a monster in this match.

43:16.596 --> 43:17.597
[SPEAKER_01]: That was Lash Legend.

43:18.678 --> 43:21.602
[SPEAKER_01]: Lash was on the apron on the outside of the apron.

43:21.582 --> 43:24.812
[SPEAKER_01]: and she put Jordan Grace on her shoulders and just tossed her out.

43:25.554 --> 43:28.042
[SPEAKER_01]: Zelina Vega was in next, then it was Rakel.

43:29.025 --> 43:33.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Kiana was going up against both Roxanne and Liv.

43:33.158 --> 43:35.321
[SPEAKER_01]: But then she was booted out by Raquel.

43:35.341 --> 43:37.644
[SPEAKER_01]: So the judgment day, clean it up here a little bit.

43:38.405 --> 43:41.489
[SPEAKER_01]: Chelsea Green was a next, very entertaining.

43:42.090 --> 43:48.619
[SPEAKER_01]: She's very good at her role, almost like a stand-up comedian in the ring.

43:50.441 --> 43:52.144
[SPEAKER_01]: She wanted to team up with judgment day.

43:52.344 --> 43:53.005
[SPEAKER_01]: They said no.

43:53.966 --> 43:57.391
[SPEAKER_01]: Alba Fire was trying to help Chelsea this entire match.

43:57.451 --> 43:59.333
[SPEAKER_01]: And she was hanging on to Chelsea's boots.

43:59.373 --> 44:02.878
[SPEAKER_01]: And she gets pulled in in the ring.

44:02.858 --> 44:30.790
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... she helped also she also helped Chelsea at one point Chelsea was about to go out and she got on all fours so that Chelsea would not touch the apron with her shoes uh... Julia was in next then it was heo uh... ask it was number twenty one they just decided all the japanese women needed to be in at the same time um... ask a Julia and heo went at it then rea was in next is Julia booted out

44:30.770 --> 44:36.959
[SPEAKER_01]: a rea throughout Chelsea, rea also throughout Roxanne.

44:37.981 --> 44:39.743
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't mention rea.

44:39.764 --> 44:41.807
[SPEAKER_01]: Did I mention rea came in yet, but she came in.

44:42.568 --> 44:49.638
[SPEAKER_01]: And then rea throughout Roxanne Bailey was the next JC Jane was the next.

44:49.658 --> 44:52.523
[SPEAKER_01]: It was good to see the JC Jane from NXT.

44:52.563 --> 44:56.068
[SPEAKER_01]: We kind of figured that out because she wasn't on the NXT program.

44:56.403 --> 45:07.189
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... live gave nanny the oblivion which sent her out some way some some physics experiment there sent nanny out of the ring

45:07.658 --> 45:10.482
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Nikki Bella came in, then Lyra.

45:10.942 --> 45:15.889
[SPEAKER_01]: Lyra was eliminated by Julia with assistance from Bailey.

45:16.590 --> 45:26.282
[SPEAKER_01]: Out of all of the suits, I thought Lyra actually Lyra suit actually looked a lot like her ring gear and it stood out in a good way.

45:26.322 --> 45:28.485
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought she had the best one out of everybody.

45:28.988 --> 45:30.110
[SPEAKER_00]: I like her gear a lot.

45:30.130 --> 45:32.293
[SPEAKER_00]: I like so's originality of her gear too.

45:32.373 --> 45:35.618
[SPEAKER_01]: So those were cool too, like a modern day, Lida.

45:35.898 --> 45:37.961
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I like lives to the details.

45:38.081 --> 45:43.249
[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at the outfit that live had on, I like the details of the suit that she had on.

45:43.689 --> 45:45.452
[SPEAKER_00]: Charlotte was extravagant, obviously.

45:46.053 --> 45:57.409
[SPEAKER_00]: So she had the most expensive cat suit of the entire warrior rumble, so I'm not gonna be mad at her in her eye for fashion.

45:58.638 --> 46:03.123
[SPEAKER_01]: So, where am I, Kalani Jordan came in next at that?

46:03.644 --> 46:06.567
[SPEAKER_01]: She looked, she looked good in this match.

46:07.268 --> 46:12.434
[SPEAKER_01]: She has the in-ring piece for a royal rumble.

46:12.454 --> 46:14.457
[SPEAKER_01]: She's kind of perfect for this kind of match.

46:15.658 --> 46:17.500
[SPEAKER_01]: Kyrie Sane was next.

46:18.582 --> 46:24.088
[SPEAKER_01]: Asuka went out after Kyrie was trying to help her.

46:24.220 --> 46:33.357
[SPEAKER_01]: And then as she was trying to hold on to her, she accidentally bonked her out with EO was involved, then EO threw Kyre out.

46:33.798 --> 46:36.142
[SPEAKER_01]: And so Oscar was very angry with Kyre.

46:37.344 --> 46:44.237
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the pop of the match, Brebella was in next just so many yes chance,

46:44.217 --> 47:05.027
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... everybody remembers uh... the the daniel brion and and the s-chance and that's who who he's married to so good job for for brie uh... you know utilizing that i guess um... very easy to uh... i mean if the crowds ready for it very easy little stick to to get them to to cheer

47:05.007 --> 47:12.476
[SPEAKER_01]: And then she did yes kicks on Raquel, and then Tiffany was last as the 30th person.

47:13.117 --> 47:18.363
[SPEAKER_01]: Was there anybody not in this match that you thought was going to be in this match?

47:18.383 --> 47:22.909
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, no Jade a Parker, but I guess, you know, that that was maybe predictable.

47:22.929 --> 47:26.153
[SPEAKER_01]: But it felt like because Jade was getting a little bit more on NXT.

47:26.593 --> 47:28.115
[SPEAKER_01]: She would have kind of been perfect for this match.

47:28.155 --> 47:31.099
[SPEAKER_01]: Was there anybody else you thought maybe should have been in this match?

47:31.079 --> 47:35.725
[SPEAKER_00]: two people obviously Bianca Belair shocked she wasn't in this match.

47:36.666 --> 47:41.732
[SPEAKER_00]: And Kendall Gray, I thought that would have been a nice way to put her out there for the rumble as well.

47:41.792 --> 47:46.037
[SPEAKER_00]: So those two were a bit surprising to me as to why they weren't in the match.

47:46.137 --> 47:52.445
[SPEAKER_00]: I really, really hope that Bianca is cleared soon to come back because she was a really missed during this match.

47:52.465 --> 47:55.669
[SPEAKER_00]: She would have been my other pick to win outside of live last night.

47:57.370 --> 48:03.199
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so then, Charlotte and Tiffany go at it, rekindling their WrestleMania feud.

48:03.940 --> 48:07.405
[SPEAKER_01]: Both of the bellas took out Bailey and Lyra.

48:08.106 --> 48:10.109
[SPEAKER_01]: J.C. knocked out Colony Jordan.

48:10.610 --> 48:14.215
[SPEAKER_01]: After Colony Jordan tried to skin the cat.

48:14.195 --> 48:15.396
[SPEAKER_01]: What is skin the cat?

48:15.416 --> 48:17.118
[SPEAKER_01]: How why is that the phrase by the way?

48:17.219 --> 48:23.446
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you know what the origin story of the skin the cat phrase is for someone pulling themselves back over the top row idea?

48:23.466 --> 48:34.318
[SPEAKER_01]: The first time I ever saw that was when I was a kid and Ricky the dragon steamboat and then all of a sudden it was called skinning the cat, which doesn't sound like something positive by the way.

48:34.539 --> 48:42.548
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

48:42.680 --> 48:49.896
[SPEAKER_01]: got both Bella's out at once, and then she also booted out Charlotte, which was interesting.

48:50.056 --> 48:52.101
[SPEAKER_01]: Charlotte was in almost the entire match.

48:53.083 --> 49:00.199
[SPEAKER_01]: EO was trying to pull Charlotte out and I'm not sure like if I was to give EO some some advice.

49:00.972 --> 49:14.591
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure if you should put on like an ankle lock as you're almost falling outside of the ring in a real rumble because all lash had to do with shake her loose and she was going to fall out and that's what happened last give her a boot and EO was out of there.

49:14.631 --> 49:20.679
[SPEAKER_01]: Rhea and lash went at it and Rhea finally got lash by clothes lighting her over the top.

49:21.100 --> 49:26.767
[SPEAKER_01]: Raquel Chokeslam, Rhea over the top and she bounced off of that apron hard.

49:27.048 --> 49:28.009
[SPEAKER_01]: She'd gave her the

49:27.989 --> 49:32.480
[SPEAKER_01]: uh, Tehanabam and like reas back just bounced off of the apron.

49:32.902 --> 49:35.909
[SPEAKER_01]: That was pretty nasty or a good bump by rea.

49:35.929 --> 49:37.313
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not quite sure maybe both.

49:38.175 --> 49:40.902
[SPEAKER_01]: And then live Morgan.

49:41.523 --> 49:44.609
[SPEAKER_01]: She's a little bit of a backstabbing here.

49:45.231 --> 49:52.105
[SPEAKER_01]: As Raquel was celebrating her elimination, dumps Raquel out, smiling.

49:52.205 --> 49:54.109
[SPEAKER_01]: Liv was just so happy with herself.

49:54.730 --> 50:00.021
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's Tiffany, Liv, and Soul, and someone in our discord went, huh?

50:01.030 --> 50:04.413
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder what everybody's going to think about all this blonde hair being in the final three.

50:04.994 --> 50:08.918
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, I, these women are great.

50:09.739 --> 50:13.583
[SPEAKER_01]: At least two of these women are such great athletes, Tiffany and soul.

50:13.683 --> 50:17.146
[SPEAKER_01]: They're the perfect like royal rumble competitors.

50:17.186 --> 50:18.548
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, you know, live is great.

50:18.588 --> 50:20.770
[SPEAKER_01]: Live is got fantastic personality.

50:20.790 --> 50:21.971
[SPEAKER_01]: She's recently come back.

50:22.031 --> 50:24.194
[SPEAKER_01]: People want her to get that spot.

50:25.054 --> 50:26.516
[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought it was a really good final three.

50:27.417 --> 50:30.480
[SPEAKER_01]: Soul hits the double soul snatcher.

50:30.730 --> 50:33.970
[SPEAKER_01]: and all three of them are over the top and on the apron.

50:35.137 --> 50:37.753
[SPEAKER_01]: Now this is where again, if we're giving advice.

50:38.307 --> 50:57.207
[SPEAKER_01]: So Ruka, you do not go for the soul snatcher when you are on the apron outside of the ring and trying to use the ring post as as you're jumping off point because she went for it and Tiffany just pushed her and she was out and then live got tiffy out to win the match.

50:57.247 --> 51:02.072
[SPEAKER_01]: So overall I thought it was a slow start, but by the end I was into this thing.

51:02.092 --> 51:04.855
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it I thought it turned into a pretty darn good match.

51:04.987 --> 51:14.423
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I feel like it was like a golf analogy back and I was great, you know, first and I, you know, it was if he in spots thought the latter part of this match is really good.

51:14.463 --> 51:21.115
[SPEAKER_00]: Final three delivered obviously and so as you said, and she knew it too.

51:21.496 --> 51:23.519
[SPEAKER_00]: She weighed her options, GG.

51:23.559 --> 51:26.645
[SPEAKER_00]: She thought to herself, you know, what is it worth it?

51:27.025 --> 51:29.830
[SPEAKER_00]: Should I do this for the love of the game?

51:29.810 --> 51:32.973
[SPEAKER_00]: Or should I try to go to the main event of WrestleMania?

51:33.334 --> 51:36.257
[SPEAKER_00]: She says, after it, I'm a hooper in a backfire.

51:36.577 --> 51:41.562
[SPEAKER_00]: I do love the hesitation of realizing, you know what, this could go horribly wrong.

51:42.142 --> 51:42.763
[SPEAKER_00]: And it did.

51:43.764 --> 51:48.529
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she was like Triple H said, moments over matches.

51:49.470 --> 51:51.572
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a moment, and I'm going for it.

51:51.592 --> 51:53.053
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, fortunately, she lost.

51:53.274 --> 51:57.538
[SPEAKER_01]: She, she, Russell Mania sitting right here.

51:58.244 --> 51:59.406
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm going for this moment.

51:59.666 --> 52:00.107
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

52:00.127 --> 52:00.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Hi, like real.

52:00.908 --> 52:01.810
[SPEAKER_00]: WrestleMania main event.

52:01.830 --> 52:02.531
[SPEAKER_00]: Hi, like real.

52:02.551 --> 52:05.095
[SPEAKER_01]: WrestleMania main event as long as she stays healthy.

52:05.155 --> 52:06.597
[SPEAKER_01]: She's going to definitely have her moments.

52:06.657 --> 52:08.120
[SPEAKER_01]: She was awesome in this match.

52:08.240 --> 52:09.522
[SPEAKER_01]: She was okay.

52:09.542 --> 52:10.604
[SPEAKER_01]: AJ versus Gunther.

52:11.545 --> 52:14.650
[SPEAKER_01]: I was actually surprised that they didn't call back.

52:14.630 --> 52:19.238
[SPEAKER_01]: to the calf crusher tap out spot from raw.

52:19.358 --> 52:25.047
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that was going to somehow be part of the finish or at least be a big part of the matchday didn't really do that.

52:25.989 --> 52:30.296
[SPEAKER_01]: And this was just a really strong, really good match.

52:31.959 --> 52:34.343
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a nice transition of

52:34.441 --> 52:44.716
[SPEAKER_01]: AJ getting Gunther in this calf crusher and then Gunther figuring out that AJ's head was close enough to him and where he could use his arm and get him in a sleeper.

52:44.776 --> 52:50.365
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it was like this calf crusher versus sleeper submission battle.

52:51.486 --> 52:56.955
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a springboard splash and a styles clash which got the fans really excited.

52:57.555 --> 52:59.318
[SPEAKER_01]: Gunther kicked out of that.

52:59.298 --> 53:13.674
[SPEAKER_01]: Gunther had a sleeper, AJ transition into a sleeper, and then Gunther went and cornered the ref, and he mule kicked AJ to get out of that one, hits the power bomb, and I think a lot of people thought this was the finish.

53:13.714 --> 53:14.595
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope, two count.

53:15.436 --> 53:21.643
[SPEAKER_01]: Then we had that long sleeper situation, and you know, you want to know the kind of pro that Gunther is.

53:22.957 --> 53:26.082
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Gunther AJ has eight AJ's nothing but hair.

53:26.242 --> 53:29.087
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got hair long hair, he's got hair on his face.

53:29.648 --> 53:34.256
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Gunther's putting this sleeper on, and AJ kinda looks like cousin it.

53:34.316 --> 53:36.479
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you cannot see his face at all.

53:37.581 --> 53:49.200
[SPEAKER_01]: And AJ's trying to wipe the hair off, but because Gunther has him trapped to twin his arms every time AJ wipes the hair back, it just falls back over because there's nowhere to trap the hair to keep it up.

53:49.687 --> 53:51.209
[SPEAKER_01]: And Gunther's like, I got you, bro.

53:51.930 --> 54:12.032
[SPEAKER_01]: Gunther uses the top of his hand and he removes it from the sleeper hold and then he pulls AJ's hair back and he puts the sleeper hold on again, I was like, that's a good brother right there, you know, he always got to show the face every the fans got to see the face and it just went on and on and on and on and finally AJ tapped now.

54:12.991 --> 54:20.380
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't do the John Cena face, where you disappointed that AJ himself didn't do the John Cena pass out face in this match.

54:22.603 --> 54:27.109
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, first of all, there are a lot of feet down the stretch was incredible.

54:27.970 --> 54:33.717
[SPEAKER_00]: As we're trying to see AJ's face in that moment, but let's give AJ props.

54:33.983 --> 54:35.446
[SPEAKER_00]: unlike John Cena.

54:35.486 --> 54:37.109
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't smile and tap out.

54:37.890 --> 54:42.017
[SPEAKER_00]: He went to sleep and down like a G as you should.

54:42.478 --> 54:45.063
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what, if you're going to go out, go out like that.

54:45.724 --> 54:47.627
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't smile into the sunset.

54:48.068 --> 54:51.013
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't tap out like a little bitch.

54:50.993 --> 54:55.658
[SPEAKER_00]: You go out on your sword, AJ, with your beautiful, flowing hair.

54:55.718 --> 54:57.219
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how you do it.

54:57.560 --> 55:03.386
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say psychology wise, as you mentioned, the calf crusher, that was an essential part of their first match.

55:03.426 --> 55:06.949
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the tap out, go back to that, build some more trauma.

55:07.410 --> 55:08.851
[SPEAKER_00]: But they didn't go there.

55:08.871 --> 55:15.839
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved the physicality down the stretch of going to a really aggressive chopping AJ, trying to wear him down.

55:16.379 --> 55:19.262
[SPEAKER_00]: But the ending, if it poetic and

55:20.204 --> 55:26.550
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not expect it to happen that way, but now we wonder what's next after AJ loses.

55:28.172 --> 55:34.578
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I imagine he's going to get a nice little, a nice little send off on Raw.

55:34.678 --> 55:42.946
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm assuming, though, you know, that maybe that's what he saved the taking off the glove spot for is for Monday Night Raw.

55:45.188 --> 55:46.369
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, that'll be interesting.

55:46.389 --> 55:47.410
[SPEAKER_01]: Now what if?

55:48.622 --> 55:50.465
[SPEAKER_01]: all of a sudden after that matches over.

55:50.505 --> 55:55.253
[SPEAKER_01]: Triple H goes up to me and goes, okay.

55:55.273 --> 55:57.977
[SPEAKER_01]: What's what's what's Tony Khan offering you?

55:59.159 --> 56:01.703
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll give you, I'll give you a dollar more.

56:02.164 --> 56:04.328
[SPEAKER_01]: And then all of a sudden he's back like that could happen.

56:04.388 --> 56:07.052
[SPEAKER_01]: Like wrestling retirements don't last forever, right?

56:07.724 --> 56:10.648
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I can see that triple thing.

56:10.688 --> 56:12.891
[SPEAKER_00]: How much Tony cutting you a check more.

56:13.572 --> 56:14.593
[SPEAKER_00]: I will double it.

56:15.234 --> 56:16.776
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll give you the retirement tour.

56:16.837 --> 56:18.479
[SPEAKER_00]: John Cena didn't have last year.

56:18.499 --> 56:20.862
[SPEAKER_00]: I give you more than 35 dates.

56:21.343 --> 56:22.945
[SPEAKER_00]: I would give you like first ballot hall.

56:22.985 --> 56:25.268
[SPEAKER_00]: The fame induction next year in 2027.

56:25.288 --> 56:27.091
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll give you a producer job.

56:27.151 --> 56:30.455
[SPEAKER_00]: What else do you want from me, AJ, to sweeten the pop?

56:30.515 --> 56:35.682
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if he does get like that song for well in Philadelphia, which would be a great place to do it by the way.

56:35.702 --> 56:37.545
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he jumps

56:37.525 --> 56:43.633
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, dude, you're just basically giving him free dream matches for the next nine months.

56:44.234 --> 56:47.799
[SPEAKER_00]: Ox spray Omega MJF.

56:47.879 --> 56:55.369
[SPEAKER_01]: These are bangers that also go back to Japan and do stuff in Japan for for Tana Hashie.

56:55.469 --> 56:59.314
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it would it's it's going to be a very interesting.

56:59.294 --> 57:16.773
[SPEAKER_00]: A gift wrapped gift to AJ to have all of his dream matches in nine months, where I'm just naming people, Cal Fletcher, Chompon, how in AEW, that is like an abundance of riches and I would not want to give to someone on a silver platter, but Triple H, you know, he's ballazzy.

57:16.793 --> 57:25.082
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, if I can get something out of this for AJ Styles another jump from AEW to WWE, I'm good with it.

57:25.062 --> 57:30.432
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what, and if I know Tony Khan, the way that I know Tony Khan, and by the way, I don't know him that well.

57:30.793 --> 57:42.416
[SPEAKER_01]: But he's going to see he has the opportunity to book AJ Styles versus Samoa Joe versus the newly unretired Christopher Daniels in a three way.

57:42.456 --> 57:45.341
[SPEAKER_01]: That is so happening on an ROH show.

57:45.963 --> 57:47.205
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, absolutely.

57:48.215 --> 57:49.637
[SPEAKER_01]: that is absolutely happening.

57:50.037 --> 58:04.432
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, the one I forgot to mention, and who wasn't in the role, Rumble, who actually, I predicted to be in the role, Rumble, Liam mentioned this in the chat, no AJ Lee, and no discussion about AJ Lee.

58:04.773 --> 58:13.362
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought AJ Lee was gonna be the one who gets Becky Lynch eliminated in this match and she wasn't there at all.

58:13.797 --> 58:24.750
[SPEAKER_00]: I was surprised by that that might explain the very lame elimination for Becky Lynch of AJ was going to make it to Saudi Arabia and maybe she has some standing on business regarding Saudi.

58:24.830 --> 58:34.962
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, but that was definitely a surprise because otherwise I don't think that Becky elimination happens the way that it did because it was so anti-climatic and so yeah.

58:34.942 --> 58:49.334
[SPEAKER_00]: that you wonder what happened with AJ league because I saw that she was on the socials very active this week, you know, on Twitter and on IG, but her not being there and I think that even Peter Rosenberg's a sheen here, he was very in fact like she ain't here.

58:49.354 --> 58:52.237
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't see her sneak in at the hotel.

58:52.297 --> 58:53.318
[SPEAKER_00]: She was on the bus.

58:53.558 --> 58:54.199
[SPEAKER_00]: She ain't here.

58:54.859 --> 59:02.426
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe maybe Brian Alvarez predicted that AJ was going to be on the show and Peter was clapping back in a subtle way without naming his name.

59:02.506 --> 59:03.847
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually, I don't know.

59:03.867 --> 59:04.948
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't all

59:04.928 --> 59:15.141
[SPEAKER_01]: So, so then we talked about the Sammy and Drew match and how just kind of home, you know, the work was fine.

59:15.161 --> 59:20.648
[SPEAKER_01]: Like in a different time on a different show, maybe this was on SmackDown.

59:20.708 --> 59:28.498
[SPEAKER_01]: It's probably a totally fine and good match, but on this show following AJ and Gunther, I was pretty disinterested.

59:28.999 --> 59:31.442
[SPEAKER_01]: The story of the match was Sammy's back.

59:31.422 --> 59:48.773
[SPEAKER_01]: He's being brutalized and every time he does something he's got to hold his back, which he was excellent at by the way, because he hit one of his finishers and he was only able to cradle or he was only able to pin in like halfway because he's holding his back with his right hand at the same time.

59:48.753 --> 01:00:05.171
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and again, he had some hope spots, but you never really felt that he was going to win this match, which is the hook for this thing, which is what they did get in AJ and Gunther because when AJ did hit a, you know, hit the hit the stars clash there.

01:00:05.191 --> 01:00:08.715
[SPEAKER_01]: There was this glimmer of hope that he was going to win and people were going to be surprised.

01:00:09.295 --> 01:00:11.858
[SPEAKER_01]: I never felt that at all in this match.

01:00:12.226 --> 01:00:16.372
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, you know, Drew kind of rubbing it in with the double clay more is at the end.

01:00:16.472 --> 01:00:22.119
[SPEAKER_01]: It just really felt like very final, like, okay, Sammy is not the guy right now.

01:00:22.700 --> 01:00:23.862
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not happening.

01:00:23.902 --> 01:00:26.205
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're going back to the drawing board with Sammy Zane.

01:00:27.366 --> 01:00:32.513
[SPEAKER_01]: Drew is in the Royal Rumble or he's a part of one of the eliminations in the Royal Rumble.

01:00:33.050 --> 01:00:46.603
[SPEAKER_01]: No Sammy Sammy wasn't out there to get revenge in any way, so it'll be interesting to see how they rehab Sammy, but yeah, if there was one kind of disappointment in this show from a wrestling perspective and a match perspective, I thought it was this.

01:00:47.444 --> 01:00:51.247
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree, you know, as I said when the match started, I was very disconnected.

01:00:51.267 --> 01:01:02.398
[SPEAKER_00]: I had no faith that Sammy was going to win and it's going to be very interesting to see how WWE kind of reheat him heading into, you know, next year's WrestleMania.

01:01:02.378 --> 01:01:10.746
[SPEAKER_00]: because if you're trying to build him as the champion heading into that show, you know, all that to think about the Saudi crowd, you got to think about the American crowd, too.

01:01:10.867 --> 01:01:14.570
[SPEAKER_00]: And is there going to be a Sami Zayn burnout now?

01:01:14.590 --> 01:01:18.294
[SPEAKER_00]: I do see the timeline and people pushing back against him a little bit.

01:01:18.674 --> 01:01:32.048
[SPEAKER_00]: If it translates to live shows, and that is a concern for WWE, because the booking has weighed down so heavily on him over the last year or so, it's an ability to win

01:01:32.028 --> 01:01:34.391
[SPEAKER_00]: Owen 12 begins Drew McIntyre's crazy.

01:01:34.971 --> 01:01:40.138
[SPEAKER_00]: Owen 12 is a wild stat that you've never beat this man.

01:01:40.198 --> 01:01:49.429
[SPEAKER_00]: Owen 13 is next, but then my greatest concern is poor Sammy, your son is going to look at you as a biggest loser now.

01:01:49.469 --> 01:01:52.012
[SPEAKER_00]: Like my dad can't win the big one.

01:01:52.472 --> 01:01:53.173
[SPEAKER_00]: He jokes.

01:01:54.274 --> 01:01:56.076
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's not good.

01:01:57.338 --> 01:01:58.339
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, uh,

01:01:59.888 --> 01:02:02.551
[SPEAKER_01]: Lebron against the warriors in those last two finals.

01:02:03.372 --> 01:02:04.053
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:02:04.073 --> 01:02:04.614
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:02:04.634 --> 01:02:05.735
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they won.

01:02:05.836 --> 01:02:06.897
[SPEAKER_01]: At least he won one one.

01:02:06.997 --> 01:02:08.178
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he got 2016.

01:02:08.259 --> 01:02:08.799
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:02:08.819 --> 01:02:15.568
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks to him dragging his testicles over Dramon's head and Dramon fallen for it.

01:02:16.309 --> 01:02:16.829
[UNKNOWN]: God.

01:02:18.011 --> 01:02:18.912
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what happened.

01:02:19.112 --> 01:02:23.618
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, you're going to stop isn't here to just refer to me for that.

01:02:25.808 --> 01:02:31.099
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was one of the greatest moments in Scott's NBA fandom right there.

01:02:32.281 --> 01:02:38.333
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, man's rumble and then we'll get out of here So Oba Femi was number one

01:02:39.005 --> 01:02:40.186
[SPEAKER_01]: The crowd reacted to him.

01:02:40.687 --> 01:02:42.168
[SPEAKER_01]: They knew who Obofemi was.

01:02:42.188 --> 01:02:49.997
[SPEAKER_01]: The music and everything, the whole introduction and the presentation was awesome.

01:02:50.277 --> 01:02:57.485
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I was kind of wondering, because I was like, okay, is there gonna be anything different from the NXT version of Obov versus this version?

01:02:57.545 --> 01:03:01.429
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope, he just kicks even more S in WWE right now.

01:03:01.449 --> 01:03:02.570
[SPEAKER_01]: So I thought that was awesome.

01:03:03.291 --> 01:03:05.333
[SPEAKER_01]: Bron gets attacked by

01:03:05.313 --> 01:03:10.058
[SPEAKER_01]: the masked person who we still don't know who it is, this is not Seth Rollins.

01:03:11.020 --> 01:03:17.227
[SPEAKER_01]: And they want us to think it's Seth, I think Paul Hayman even yelled that this, that was Seth Rollins.

01:03:18.208 --> 01:03:21.752
[SPEAKER_01]: So, oh, but quickly eliminates Braun, which upset me very much.

01:03:22.733 --> 01:03:26.217
[SPEAKER_01]: Solo and Ray, work with the next two.

01:03:27.138 --> 01:03:27.979
[SPEAKER_01]: And then,

01:03:29.039 --> 01:03:33.486
[SPEAKER_01]: The man is alive, at least he was alive for about a minute and a half in this match.

01:03:33.746 --> 01:03:45.203
[SPEAKER_01]: Rusev, it was, it was Rusev time, and Oba quickly dumped both Rusev and solo, and then he got Ray out of there.

01:03:45.243 --> 01:03:53.997
[SPEAKER_01]: So immediately the match starts and Ruse and Oba has the first four eliminations.

01:03:54.017 --> 01:03:54.878
[SPEAKER_01]: And then,

01:03:55.583 --> 01:04:01.854
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't mean this nickname to be disrespectful and I did not come up with this nickname.

01:04:03.737 --> 01:04:06.281
[SPEAKER_01]: But mid Cardona, not Matt Cardona.

01:04:06.542 --> 01:04:11.370
[SPEAKER_01]: It was mid Cardona was in next because he was in next and then he was out so fast.

01:04:11.971 --> 01:04:16.579
[SPEAKER_01]: Like this dude gets his real name doesn't have to be

01:04:16.964 --> 01:04:18.527
[SPEAKER_01]: the Wu Wu guy anymore.

01:04:19.448 --> 01:04:29.626
[SPEAKER_01]: And he means like in the WWE Pantheon or the the kind of the hierarchy, he's even less than the Wu Wu guys, accurateer.

01:04:30.267 --> 01:04:36.778
[SPEAKER_01]: So Cardona was out, Damian Priest was in, and Damian Priest and Oba stuff was actually pretty cool.

01:04:36.758 --> 01:04:39.361
[SPEAKER_01]: The young OG was in next, Giovanna Evans.

01:04:39.601 --> 01:04:40.282
[SPEAKER_01]: He was awesome.

01:04:41.383 --> 01:04:44.267
[SPEAKER_01]: Mr. iguana was in, then trick was in.

01:04:44.507 --> 01:05:03.930
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, Mr. iguana was going to get in this match because he's a gimmick, but it just shows you that they don't treat the gimmicks necessarily on the main roster as important at all, because Mr. iguana and his little iguana,

01:05:04.450 --> 01:05:06.992
[SPEAKER_01]: uh, trick through through the mystery going out.

01:05:07.453 --> 01:05:08.334
[SPEAKER_01]: I did somebody.

01:05:08.474 --> 01:05:13.318
[SPEAKER_01]: I did a double chokeslam on mystery going on and the puppet who did that?

01:05:13.479 --> 01:05:14.419
[SPEAKER_01]: It was Damian Freest.

01:05:14.540 --> 01:05:17.542
[SPEAKER_01]: Damian Freest.

01:05:18.383 --> 01:05:32.837
[SPEAKER_01]: So then Cody was in next, then Grande Maricano and Grande Maricano put the plate in his mask and started

01:05:33.998 --> 01:05:39.454
[SPEAKER_01]: He was taking his vitamins while he was on his injury leave because that dude was jacked.

01:05:39.534 --> 01:05:43.005
[SPEAKER_01]: But didn't mean anything because last year he had a really good rumble in this year.

01:05:43.045 --> 01:05:48.160
[SPEAKER_01]: He got eliminated very quickly by a trick eliminated both grondays.

01:05:48.764 --> 01:05:56.773
[SPEAKER_01]: And then in the thing that pissed me off in this match after the brown thing that the other thing that pissed me off the most.

01:05:57.654 --> 01:06:03.641
[SPEAKER_01]: Cody just throws trick out like it was nothing like trick was just like a sidekick like trick was no no big deal.

01:06:03.801 --> 01:06:04.922
[SPEAKER_01]: And here's what it made me mad.

01:06:06.504 --> 01:06:07.585
[SPEAKER_01]: We had Oba in the match.

01:06:08.766 --> 01:06:10.128
[SPEAKER_01]: We had Giovanna Evans in the match.

01:06:11.029 --> 01:06:12.831
[SPEAKER_01]: And we had trick Williams in the match.

01:06:13.317 --> 01:06:16.283
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we were about to have Royce Keyes in the match.

01:06:16.904 --> 01:06:31.191
[SPEAKER_01]: So we were going to have four African American wrestlers who they are actually getting behind, who are actually new energy to WWE and in whoever book this match.

01:06:31.627 --> 01:06:35.252
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, triple H signing off was like, no, we can't have all four.

01:06:35.272 --> 01:06:41.259
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to get rid of one of them and Cody of all people is going to be the one to throw trick over the top.

01:06:41.299 --> 01:06:46.446
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought this would have been an absolutely great moment to showcase like, look at these four dudes.

01:06:46.466 --> 01:06:54.115
[SPEAKER_01]: These four dudes are going to be very important to WWE in 2026 and we had to get trick out of there.

01:06:54.456 --> 01:06:54.756
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?

01:06:54.796 --> 01:06:57.820
[SPEAKER_01]: Why did we have to throw trick out at that point in the match?

01:06:57.800 --> 01:06:59.543
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and it was a pointless elimination.

01:06:59.603 --> 01:07:00.766
[SPEAKER_00]: It was very as a climatic.

01:07:01.206 --> 01:07:09.883
[SPEAKER_00]: And as you said, look at the moment that could have been created with four black guys out there that can be made of ventures of rosomanias future.

01:07:09.943 --> 01:07:15.353
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you just decide, let's just get rid of trick because we've met our quota for tonight.

01:07:15.333 --> 01:07:16.414
[SPEAKER_00]: we can get rid of him now.

01:07:16.874 --> 01:07:17.655
[SPEAKER_00]: It's annoying.

01:07:17.755 --> 01:07:24.782
[SPEAKER_00]: It's frustrating and I just hope that this is not a trend alert for trick because I do see a lot of potential in him.

01:07:24.802 --> 01:07:27.244
[SPEAKER_00]: I know there's been some pushback about his matches.

01:07:27.364 --> 01:07:33.169
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly with the booking, he has to have a chance to do enough because of, as you said, Sam, he's ain't being a heal.

01:07:33.209 --> 01:07:42.538
[SPEAKER_00]: Even though he's supposed to be a baby face, how can I showcase what he can do with the booking that is detrimental to showcasing him?

01:07:43.582 --> 01:07:48.430
[SPEAKER_01]: And I, you know, I want him also mentioned, Damien Priest and other person of color was in the ring at that time.

01:07:48.550 --> 01:07:50.534
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was really, really cool to see.

01:07:50.574 --> 01:07:54.260
[SPEAKER_01]: And here's also what Cody has he with me now.

01:07:55.001 --> 01:07:58.467
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, not real heat, but wrestling heat.

01:07:58.487 --> 01:07:59.869
[SPEAKER_01]: Two smack downs ago.

01:08:01.638 --> 01:08:28.742
[SPEAKER_01]: He did the whole thing with Jacob Fattu of like I have to vocalize whatever one's thinking here in that you were once arrested in your young life and because of that like we're worried about you and shouldn't you handle yourself in a bit like I was like what are we doing with Cody Rhodes here like didn't we do this in AEW already and it caused him to get booed out of the company?

01:08:28.722 --> 01:08:52.367
[SPEAKER_01]: like are we going to be this misguided on who Cody Rhodes is like Jacob Fattu was the coolest dude in that segment just he was like rock him with his rhymes like just perfectly and Cody went male Karen on him and I'm like what are we doing with Cody like is this just or we have to be turning Cody yield right listen

01:08:52.347 --> 01:08:53.970
[SPEAKER_00]: The suspenders are killing me.

01:08:54.091 --> 01:09:00.143
[SPEAKER_00]: They need to go away and watching that segment it was giving law office with the touch of Joe Clark from lean on me.

01:09:00.183 --> 01:09:03.711
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a hybrid of that that I did not like.

01:09:03.731 --> 01:09:05.976
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, Cody, no, you cannot do this.

01:09:06.757 --> 01:09:07.639
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't.

01:09:08.092 --> 01:09:26.758
[SPEAKER_01]: I was gobsmacked and I only saw a couple of people who I know do stuff like this like even really mentioned it so maybe it went over people's heads maybe they didn't understand like some of the context I don't know like I was appalled and didn't seem like a lot of people were appalled but anyways.

01:09:26.907 --> 01:09:28.229
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, all right.

01:09:28.289 --> 01:09:39.022
[SPEAKER_01]: So after Cody throws trick out, we get Royce Keys, aka Powerhouse Hobbs, he closed line, pre-stover the top, awesome theory was in next.

01:09:39.042 --> 01:09:40.064
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Bronson reads.

01:09:40.084 --> 01:09:51.278
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're getting some vision folks in, Ilya Draganov came in, and this was a kind of an interesting one, LaParca, and again, like I said, with the women's match, we had to get all the Japanese women at once.

01:09:51.398 --> 01:09:56.745
[SPEAKER_01]: Now we're, we have to get the luchadors in LaParca and Dragon Lee come in right

01:09:56.725 --> 01:09:58.287
[SPEAKER_01]: Logan Paul was number twenty.

01:09:59.268 --> 01:10:03.033
[SPEAKER_01]: Bronson Reed closed line Hobbes over the top.

01:10:03.073 --> 01:10:18.211
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, Hobbes was pushed to an extent in this match, but it seems like he doesn't seem like they see him to be like the next big thing like they did with Obo, but at the same time, you can't really do the repeat of Obo.

01:10:18.251 --> 01:10:21.234
[SPEAKER_01]: He's still in the match and you still had Brock Lesnar coming out.

01:10:21.254 --> 01:10:24.218
[SPEAKER_01]: So I

01:10:24.198 --> 01:10:34.961
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, theory, our Bronson read had, uh, Leparka on his shoulders and theory drop kicked him over the top, which was a cool elimination, and then Bronson read pressed Dragon Lee over the top.

01:10:34.981 --> 01:10:36.604
[SPEAKER_01]: So he was out very quickly.

01:10:37.165 --> 01:10:38.588
[SPEAKER_01]: Both Luchador's out.

01:10:39.470 --> 01:10:43.118
[SPEAKER_01]: LA night was the next giant reaction from this crowd.

01:10:43.098 --> 01:10:45.701
[SPEAKER_01]: Elie Knight dumped Austin Theory.

01:10:45.741 --> 01:10:50.185
[SPEAKER_01]: Then he also got Bronson Reed, which I was very surprised for that one.

01:10:50.225 --> 01:10:52.488
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought Reed was going to be in there until the end.

01:10:53.269 --> 01:10:54.830
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Brock was in next.

01:10:55.731 --> 01:10:58.134
[SPEAKER_01]: Paul Hayman came in with Brock Lesnar.

01:10:58.894 --> 01:11:04.540
[SPEAKER_01]: At one point, Michael Cole said, how does Brock Lesnar come back bigger than ever every time?

01:11:04.580 --> 01:11:06.582
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, you really want me to answer that one?

01:11:06.883 --> 01:11:11.147
[SPEAKER_01]: Michael, because I'm an answer for you, but you know, I don't know if you really want me to answer

01:11:11.802 --> 01:11:14.530
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and then we got something very cool.

01:11:15.994 --> 01:11:20.327
[SPEAKER_01]: Obafemi and Brock Lesnar were about to face off.

01:11:21.185 --> 01:11:22.327
[SPEAKER_01]: Then the miss comes out.

01:11:23.008 --> 01:11:24.530
[SPEAKER_01]: And the miss is about to come in the ring.

01:11:25.531 --> 01:11:30.478
[SPEAKER_01]: And Lesnar just gives him a look and Miss was like, oh, I'm going back out of this ring.

01:11:31.099 --> 01:11:34.744
[SPEAKER_01]: But then the rest of the wrestlers who were in the ring, they double team, Brock and Oba.

01:11:35.585 --> 01:11:42.034
[SPEAKER_01]: Oba and Brock kill all these dudes like, drag and off, who is like killing everybody on SmackDown.

01:11:43.035 --> 01:11:45.779
[SPEAKER_01]: He throws chops at Lesnar.

01:11:46.760 --> 01:11:49.504
[SPEAKER_01]: Lesnar laughing at this manch chops.

01:11:50.277 --> 01:11:52.802
[SPEAKER_01]: and just no cells them tosses him over the top.

01:11:53.042 --> 01:12:01.819
[SPEAKER_01]: So poor dragon off, Phoenix comes in, does a dive right on Brock just tosses him aside, like a bag of potatoes.

01:12:02.540 --> 01:12:07.830
[SPEAKER_01]: Brock gives Oba a suplex and then gives Phoenix an F5 tosses him out.

01:12:07.870 --> 01:12:10.395
[SPEAKER_01]: So Phoenix was in there for seconds.

01:12:10.645 --> 01:12:32.327
[SPEAKER_01]: Ober finally knocks down Brock with a close line and then he goes after Logan Paul and as he goes after Logan Paul, Brock sneaks up behind Ober tosses him out so Ober is out and what I liked about this, even you know, Brock tossing Ober out is fine, what I like about this is they left us wanting more.

01:12:33.128 --> 01:12:35.590
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you want to see Brock Lesnar versus Ober Femi?

01:12:35.570 --> 01:12:35.971
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

01:12:36.431 --> 01:12:39.696
[SPEAKER_00]: And I want Ober to demolish Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.

01:12:40.157 --> 01:12:47.467
[SPEAKER_00]: They did a great job teasing the physical confrontation for two eliminations or two 92nd intervals I should say.

01:12:47.508 --> 01:12:48.669
[SPEAKER_00]: And they teased it.

01:12:48.769 --> 01:12:49.330
[SPEAKER_00]: We got it.

01:12:49.490 --> 01:12:50.191
[SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed it.

01:12:50.512 --> 01:12:52.335
[SPEAKER_00]: Was I a little salty about the elimination?

01:12:52.455 --> 01:12:52.795
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

01:12:53.296 --> 01:12:58.704
[SPEAKER_00]: But they're building up to something that I'm intrigued by because now we know.

01:12:58.764 --> 01:13:00.126
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll likelihood

01:13:00.106 --> 01:13:02.770
[SPEAKER_00]: Oba's got Brock's number at WrestleMania.

01:13:03.131 --> 01:13:05.775
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're trying to make a made man, that's how you do it.

01:13:07.097 --> 01:13:07.237
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.

01:13:07.257 --> 01:13:07.778
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

01:13:08.599 --> 01:13:18.094
[SPEAKER_01]: So then, like you had said in the beginning, Cody and L.A. Knight just closed-line Brock over the top and Michael Cole's like, Oh, hey, I think Brock is eliminated.

01:13:18.214 --> 01:13:19.637
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, Jay, you're so just coming out.

01:13:20.057 --> 01:13:22.401
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, wait, what?

01:13:25.604 --> 01:13:33.335
[SPEAKER_01]: My goodness, like, Brock was the most important guy in this ring and he gets eliminated and Michael Cole was like, oh yeah, I knew that one was coming.

01:13:33.355 --> 01:13:35.078
[SPEAKER_01]: That's written down in my script right here.

01:13:35.298 --> 01:13:37.541
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, no need to get up for that announcement.

01:13:37.622 --> 01:13:39.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he's gone guys.

01:13:39.104 --> 01:13:39.945
[SPEAKER_00]: Next.

01:13:41.047 --> 01:13:42.769
[SPEAKER_01]: So Juso comes out.

01:13:43.660 --> 01:14:12.874
[SPEAKER_01]: in this man was this a five minute like time limit before the next guy because Jay who's so is in the audience he's coming down taking his sweet time and he finally climbs over the barricade and I thought Brock was actually going to take him out but he did not Jay kind of looked over just to make sure like he's like kind of looking over is like okay I'm good gets in the ring and they play the song again he goes on to the top term buckle

01:14:13.158 --> 01:14:21.531
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Roman comes out and you know, Roman gets a lot of flack for, you know, taken forever to get to the ring generally.

01:14:22.726 --> 01:14:25.129
[SPEAKER_01]: He got to the ring twice as fast as Jay did.

01:14:25.230 --> 01:14:30.938
[SPEAKER_01]: So if anybody should get some flag for that, it's Jay.

01:14:30.998 --> 01:14:33.101
[SPEAKER_01]: Roman, Roman beat him to the ring.

01:14:33.822 --> 01:14:35.384
[SPEAKER_01]: And so then Roman gets in the ring.

01:14:36.105 --> 01:14:37.928
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we get happy go lucky Roman.

01:14:37.948 --> 01:14:42.975
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like smiling and this is his cousin's little cousin who's like doing his own thing.

01:14:43.035 --> 01:14:45.158
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like play the song again.

01:14:45.238 --> 01:14:47.041
[SPEAKER_01]: And Jay's like, oh, you want me to play the song again?

01:14:47.061 --> 01:14:49.043
[SPEAKER_01]: And he does it and then the song plays.

01:14:49.103 --> 01:14:52.328
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Roman punches this man right in the chin.

01:14:52.308 --> 01:14:56.759
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Roman speared and eliminated the miss.

01:14:57.441 --> 01:14:58.624
[SPEAKER_01]: Jacob Fattu was next.

01:14:58.985 --> 01:15:04.458
[SPEAKER_01]: Cody was waiting for Fattu, but he had Roman on his eye, on his mind too.

01:15:04.498 --> 01:15:05.501
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's kind of looking at Roman.

01:15:05.741 --> 01:15:06.744
[SPEAKER_01]: He sees Fattu coming.

01:15:08.268 --> 01:15:09.591
[SPEAKER_01]: You have two options here.

01:15:10.820 --> 01:15:19.268
[SPEAKER_01]: And out of the two options, Cody actually picked option number three, which was stick my face between the top and middle ropes.

01:15:19.288 --> 01:15:20.809
[SPEAKER_01]: So Jacob could just punch me.

01:15:21.309 --> 01:15:22.611
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what he chose.

01:15:22.791 --> 01:15:26.034
[SPEAKER_01]: And so then they, and so then they're fighting outside the ring.

01:15:26.894 --> 01:15:29.136
[SPEAKER_01]: Roman and Jay actually worked together here.

01:15:29.917 --> 01:15:38.785
[SPEAKER_01]: They hit the one D on Cody, which made me think where the hell is Jimmy?

01:15:40.503 --> 01:15:48.096
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I think he's at home with Naomi, I think there's a reason why baby might be coming imminently.

01:15:48.537 --> 01:15:51.622
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, you want to be close to home and it's a good friend to see too.

01:15:52.123 --> 01:16:06.207
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a good reason to be home good on good on Jimmy and I'm actually glad that that's the reason he's he's been a good husband and a pops but and he's and I was just worried that like he got injured or something.

01:16:06.862 --> 01:16:13.249
[SPEAKER_01]: So Cody hits LA night with a disaster kick, LA night is out, Randy Orton is in next.

01:16:13.770 --> 01:16:16.012
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Gunther is number 30.

01:16:16.633 --> 01:16:20.857
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is a pretty stacked end of this match when it comes to star power.

01:16:21.778 --> 01:16:28.165
[SPEAKER_01]: So Javan Evans, you know, we talked about this soul Ruka moments over winning the match opportunity.

01:16:28.205 --> 01:16:32.650
[SPEAKER_01]: Javan Evans tries to hit the OG cutter on Randy.

01:16:34.840 --> 01:16:41.587
[SPEAKER_01]: You need to watch some tape of one Randall K. Ordin' my man, because you know what your Randy is setting you up for.

01:16:41.647 --> 01:16:45.671
[SPEAKER_01]: He is setting you up to get hit with a giant RKO.

01:16:45.911 --> 01:16:47.273
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's exactly what happened.

01:16:48.174 --> 01:16:49.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Randy tosses him out.

01:16:50.516 --> 01:17:00.426
[SPEAKER_01]: Then, Penta, who, I don't even think I mentioned Penta, but Penta came out at number 23, and Gunther tosses Penta out.

01:17:00.524 --> 01:17:05.928
[SPEAKER_01]: Jacob throws Cody over the top, but Cody's feet do not hit the floor.

01:17:05.989 --> 01:17:07.395
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's kind of dangling.

01:17:08.303 --> 01:17:17.235
[SPEAKER_01]: And a man who was not the same guy who stomped Bron Braker throws a kick at Cody and knocks him out.

01:17:17.275 --> 01:17:22.843
[SPEAKER_01]: It was Drew McIntyre in his tank top and just, I don't know where he came from.

01:17:23.223 --> 01:17:24.565
[SPEAKER_01]: He was he hiding.

01:17:24.645 --> 01:17:31.134
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, but he kicks Cody out and he's very happy because now he doesn't have to face Cody at WrestleMania.

01:17:31.554 --> 01:17:34.598
[SPEAKER_01]: Even though he's probably still facing Cody at WrestleMania.

01:17:34.638 --> 01:17:37.382
[SPEAKER_01]: The joke's going to be on Drew here at some point.

01:17:37.362 --> 01:17:48.592
[SPEAKER_01]: So Roman throws Jacob over the top because Jacob, his focus is on Cody and then he sees Drew and then he gets distracted by Drew.

01:17:49.373 --> 01:17:52.295
[SPEAKER_01]: So Roman takes advantage of that and throws Jacob over the top.

01:17:53.416 --> 01:18:07.048
[SPEAKER_01]: Jay hit the spear on Roman and you know how, you know, you would think, you know,

01:18:08.260 --> 01:18:10.946
[SPEAKER_01]: So Jay hits his finishing move on Roman.

01:18:12.751 --> 01:18:14.455
[SPEAKER_01]: Roman eats the finishing move.

01:18:15.577 --> 01:18:18.825
[SPEAKER_01]: And Jay is about to throw him out and Roman just reverses it and throws him out.

01:18:19.125 --> 01:18:22.714
[SPEAKER_01]: Just like, I'm eating your finishing here, buddy.

01:18:23.456 --> 01:18:24.498
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm gonna be good.

01:18:24.719 --> 01:18:26.623
[SPEAKER_01]: He's sold his stomach a little bit.

01:18:27.380 --> 01:18:39.240
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Logan Paul, he's about to hit his little flip hangman page move and he flips over and he's about to come at Roman Roman it's super and punch tosses him out.

01:18:40.662 --> 01:18:48.375
[SPEAKER_01]: Randy then hits Roman with an RKO, Gunther tosses Randy out so it's now it's down to Roman and Gunther and this is the moment where.

01:18:49.030 --> 01:18:52.354
[SPEAKER_01]: I missed what was actually happening.

01:18:52.414 --> 01:19:00.104
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, oh, they're actually going to take advantage of Gunther, killing John Cena and AJ Styles.

01:19:00.825 --> 01:19:02.427
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is Gunther's time to shine.

01:19:02.448 --> 01:19:07.614
[SPEAKER_01]: And very quickly, Roman Reigns was like, come on, bro.

01:19:07.634 --> 01:19:09.597
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, did you really think that's gonna happen?

01:19:10.358 --> 01:19:12.921
[SPEAKER_01]: Hit the spear on Gunther and tosses him over the top.

01:19:13.522 --> 01:19:15.865
[SPEAKER_01]: Roman Reigns wins the match.

01:19:17.465 --> 01:19:32.969
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought, you know, I had some, I had some thoughts on some of the booking choices and some of the way that the guys went out overall, still an entertaining match, still does what the Royal Rumble usually does in a strong way.

01:19:32.989 --> 01:19:35.132
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was ultimately fine with it though.

01:19:35.293 --> 01:19:40.080
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it did feel a little bit of same same with Roman having his hand raise their at the end.

01:19:40.955 --> 01:19:43.658
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, it was a solid warrior rumble match.

01:19:43.698 --> 01:19:45.380
[SPEAKER_00]: You kind of fade it towards the end.

01:19:45.400 --> 01:19:47.602
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Roman won.

01:19:47.642 --> 01:19:51.306
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, okay, it's been 11 years between rumble victories.

01:19:51.387 --> 01:19:52.908
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's okay.

01:19:53.449 --> 01:19:54.510
[SPEAKER_00]: Has it really been that long?

01:19:54.530 --> 01:19:55.611
[SPEAKER_00]: It has been 11 years.

01:19:55.691 --> 01:19:56.813
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, since 2015.

01:19:56.833 --> 01:20:02.078
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's been a gap between this one and the last one he won back in 2015.

01:20:02.659 --> 01:20:08.606
[SPEAKER_00]: So, hey, at least he got a better reception 11 years after the fact, because the first time he won to be great at him.

01:20:09.066 --> 01:20:10.708
[SPEAKER_00]: And even his presence couldn't save him.

01:20:10.688 --> 01:20:10.968
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:20:10.988 --> 01:20:15.756
[SPEAKER_00]: This is definitely a step up, but overall, you know, some eliminations were curious.

01:20:16.356 --> 01:20:17.618
[SPEAKER_00]: It was underwhelming in spots.

01:20:17.678 --> 01:20:23.467
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that when Brock was eliminated, it could have been oba honestly to make him in that moment.

01:20:23.988 --> 01:20:26.732
[SPEAKER_00]: But they're saving that for WrestleMania, which I totally understand.

01:20:27.213 --> 01:20:33.362
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we got the most expensive fireworks display ever seen in the history of WWE.

01:20:33.502 --> 01:20:39.531
[SPEAKER_00]: Good God.

01:20:40.169 --> 01:20:44.975
[SPEAKER_01]: And I saw some people going like, what's Russell Mania going to be next year?

01:20:46.737 --> 01:20:47.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

01:20:48.339 --> 01:20:50.541
[SPEAKER_01]: And was that really, was that really what?

01:20:50.561 --> 01:20:51.542
[SPEAKER_01]: Two o'clock in the morning?

01:20:51.562 --> 01:20:56.688
[SPEAKER_00]: It was legitimately two o'clock in the morning and those fireworks are going off.

01:20:56.808 --> 01:21:03.516
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, drones, fireworks, two entire songs played and they just showed all of it.

01:21:03.536 --> 01:21:04.517
[SPEAKER_00]: It would never end.

01:21:04.637 --> 01:21:09.383
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, WrestleMania is going to last

01:21:10.882 --> 01:21:11.143
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

01:21:11.163 --> 01:21:15.535
[SPEAKER_01]: Rock comes from Philadelphia on Monday.

01:21:15.555 --> 01:21:20.790
[SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, just kind of looking at the schedule.

01:21:21.395 --> 01:21:26.220
[SPEAKER_01]: They have one, two, one, two, three.

01:21:27.001 --> 01:21:30.886
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're four weeks out until elimination chamber.

01:21:30.986 --> 01:21:34.069
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're gonna get some WrestleMania business done here.

01:21:34.209 --> 01:21:40.416
[SPEAKER_01]: And then elimination chamber is about five weeks from WrestleMania.

01:21:40.496 --> 01:21:46.203
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, just a little bit over two months and WrestleMania season will be back.

01:21:46.403 --> 01:21:48.145
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you in Scott?

01:21:48.125 --> 01:21:51.071
[SPEAKER_01]: going to be back on what Monday night?

01:21:51.733 --> 01:21:51.973
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

01:21:52.013 --> 01:21:56.021
[SPEAKER_01]: I know Scott Scott has a new job, so we're trying to figure out the schedule.

01:21:56.041 --> 01:21:57.484
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what that means for.

01:21:59.709 --> 01:22:07.365
[SPEAKER_01]: We've been the rap has been coming on YouTube post Monday night raw these days, so that's what we've been doing.

01:22:07.345 --> 01:22:13.432
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that we are going to be on a little later maybe 1115 is potentially unmanned.

01:22:13.452 --> 01:22:22.421
[SPEAKER_00]: They talking about the fallout from the warrior rumble looking for it to that state side of reactions should be very interesting regarding the winners of the rumbles.

01:22:23.983 --> 01:22:32.492
[SPEAKER_01]: And a lady be asked the question, which is what I thought, which is to

01:22:33.080 --> 01:22:58.678
[SPEAKER_01]: He could like I was thinking elimination chamber just because of Chicago being where he debuted in 99 and that kind of being a fun little wrinkle there some 27 years later, that's kind of crazy, but you know he could show up in Philly I think he's still in the A W roster page technically so who knows what's going on with that, but it's WrestleMania season man.

01:22:58.718 --> 01:23:01.382
[SPEAKER_01]: This is where things start to heat up anything and happen.

01:23:02.037 --> 01:23:06.942
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so until his name and picture falls off the website, he is still on the contract.

01:23:06.962 --> 01:23:16.173
[SPEAKER_00]: So when that happens, if you stock the website and he sees a you see his name gone, then you can say, ah, he's going to be one of these shows very soon.

01:23:16.193 --> 01:23:20.998
[SPEAKER_00]: So until that happens, Tony is still saying, listen, until otherwise, I know it.

01:23:21.078 --> 01:23:24.262
[SPEAKER_00]: I still write that man's checks.

01:23:24.302 --> 01:23:24.602
[SPEAKER_01]: I.

01:23:25.240 --> 01:23:43.654
[SPEAKER_01]: don't generally talk about like wrestling plans with the the pro wrestlers who I sometimes communicate with, but Jericho, I'm probably if I like I don't know if this actually happens or not, but I this idea and I asked him, I said, hey, you know,

01:23:43.718 --> 01:23:53.598
[SPEAKER_01]: when you and Benoit won the tag titles on Monday and at Raw, against Austin and Triple H, like that would actually be a fun, like history show.

01:23:53.778 --> 01:24:00.411
[SPEAKER_01]: And I did a bunch of research and he's like, what we should do for the 25th anniversary, which would be 2026.

01:24:00.391 --> 01:24:02.336
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, oh, yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense.

01:24:02.897 --> 01:24:12.843
[SPEAKER_01]: But then what if he's in WWE to like, you know, in my persona non grotto because I do something with the with Dave Meltzer, I might be who knows if I'll be even be able to do that show.

01:24:13.565 --> 01:24:16.392
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyways, all right.

01:24:17.333 --> 01:24:20.738
[SPEAKER_01]: Kila, be looking forward to you and Scott coming back on the wrap.

01:24:21.379 --> 01:24:27.527
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm actually hoping that we get a good news where the raw after rumble.

01:24:27.567 --> 01:24:30.311
[SPEAKER_01]: I really want to see kind of the tea leaves being set.

01:24:30.972 --> 01:24:34.557
[SPEAKER_01]: And that'll be good for you guys to show because people will be interested in your discussion.

[SPEAKER_01]: So check out our YouTube page.

01:24:51.641 --> 01:24:55.908
[SPEAKER_01]: Like when we were done, he was like, hey, just got done with the first women's match.

[SPEAKER_01]: I know no kidding.

[SPEAKER_01]: Poor thing like that's got to be so frustrating for her.
