Speaker 1 (00:06):
welcome to the benny bash podcast.
Tag team talk I'm ben I'm bash.
It's time to lace up your bootsand hit the mat with the benny
bash podcast tag team talk allright, for another one, you may
see a different scenery.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Today we are actually in in atlanta for the Bad Bud
Premium Live event going ontomorrow, so yeah, I got my Yeet
shirt on.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I took a picture with Jey Uso earlier.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, it's going to be posted right there.
But yeah, we're going to do aprediction show, like we always
do.
We're going to give us who wethink is going to win, who we
think is going to win, who wethink is going to happen, any
surprises, any returns.
You know all the good stuff, solet's get to it.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
For the first match.
We have CM Punk versus DrewMcIntyre in a Hell, in a Cell
match.
Now I really want Drew McIntyreto win, but I just see CM Punk
coming out victorious.
But Drew McIntyre, in my myopinion at least, has some of
the best work off of a majorloss like, um, he did this, this
(01:11):
stuff that he's doing right nowwith cm punk after he lost wait
, no, he didn't lose after, yeah, well, after he lost against
damian priest.
So I I think it would be finefrom this, but I I'm pretty sure
that CM Punk is going to win.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, oh, this is a tough one.
I mean, Drew Bantyre has neverwon a Hell in a Cell match.
I mean, granted, he's only hadwhat one or two anyways, but
still, I mean one or two Hell ina Cell matches is still one
more than a lot of people have.
But I don't know.
I think that maybe somethinghappens in this match.
I mean, cm punk was just on nxt.
(01:48):
Uh, he gave to go to sleep toethan page.
I mean, does ethan page make anappearance and interfere in the
match?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I thought that's where you were gonna go, but I
don't think so yeah, I don'tknow.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I mean I don't see it if, if no, if no interference
or anything happens.
Uh, who'd you pick?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
drew bagentire yeah, wait, no, no, I'll see him pick
sam punk.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna just for a second.
I'm just gonna go.
Drew bagentire, then I'm gonnadrew bagentire, just to be
different.
That way we have somebody tocheer for.
Since we're going to be therelive tomorrow, I'm going to go.
Drew McIntyre I think he needsto win.
Cm Punk already has the fansbehind him.
What better way to get moreheat on you than to beat CM Punk
(02:37):
in the Hell in a Cell match,make him bleed and all that kind
of stuff?
I got Drew McIntyre for theHell in a Cell match against CM
Punk.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
For the next match, it's Nia Jax versus Bayley for
the WWE Women's Championship andyou know, at SummerSlam they
had an amazing match.
Nobody saw it coming.
So we already know that they'regoing to put on an amazing
match, or at least that's theexpectation.
But personally I would haveloved to see Naomi against Nia
(03:06):
Jax, but for this match wealready saw it.
I think it's going to be thesame outcome.
I think Nia Jax wins thisagainst Bayley.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Just straight up, no interference or anything.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Fake cash-in from Tiffany.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Fake cash-in.
You think fake cash-in?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
She's not cash in.
Too many people think she'scash in.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I mean, look at what happened, though.
Nah, Jax did try to choke herout.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
But that's too soon though.
Like that next pay-per-view,though, Like you know how Triple
H likes to build up storyline,she's not going to cash in
tonight.
I mean tomorrow.
I guarantee she could, though Iguarantee that she's not gonna
cash in tomorrow, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I guess we'll see, but you're, I think.
I think you're forgetting aboutone person that could interfere
in this match.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Naomi.
Naomi against who Bayley whynot?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Bayley did beat her in this match has Naomi ever
been a heel?
Mmm, she got booed a few timeswhen she was with.
When she was with, what's theguy who used to dance all the
time she was with?
She used to dance with Cameron.
You know what I'm talking aboutthe guy who used to come out
(04:18):
dancing all the time.
His name is Titus now.
He's Titus now and I think NWA.
But what was his name?
I can't think of what his namewas, but he's Titus now.
He's Titus now and I think NWA.
But what was his name?
I can't think of what his namewas, but he's Titus now.
But yeah, no, she was gettingbooed, I think, with them when
he was a heel at one point intime, because they were heel
valets, I guess you could callit.
But yeah, I think that.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Oh, she already picked Nia Jax already.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, I picked Nia Jax.
I don't think Tiffany Strattonis going to cash in.
She may do a fake cash in justto mess with Nia, because Nia
did try to choke her out onFriday Night Smackdown and I
think Tiffany wasn't really shedidn't really like that.
But I do think baby Naomi isgoing to come in interfering in
the match.
I like she's going to come out.
(05:04):
She's going to come ininterfering the match.
I like she's going to come out.
She's going to, you know, beatup Tiffany Stratton or stop her
from cashing in and then, whileshe's doing that, calls Bailey
the championship.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Could get Bailey distracted.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
To get Bailey, or, yeah, to get Bailey distracted
or calls her or hit her orsomething like that, and then
that opens up a whole few forBailey and Naomi to go against
each other.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Wait what's the next pay-per-view?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Uh, what's this Crown Jewel?
It's either Crown Jewel orSurvivor Series, I'm not sure
which one is first.
Both of them are Crown Jewel atthe end of this month, and then
Survivor Series is Novembernormally.
Normally, survivor Series is inNovember, and then Crown Jewel
is usually November.
Too early November, end ofOctober, but yeah, so I think
it's Crown Jewel next and thenSurvivor Series.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
But yeah, I think that, yeah, I think I got.
I mean I want Bayley to win.
I mean I'm a Bayley fan, but Ijust think that Naomi is going
to interfere in the match it'scalled the Bayley Championship.
It's going to lead to them twofeuding with each other, which
that can be a good feud, becauseright now outside nia, jax
baylor doesn't have anybody touh to feud with, you know.
(06:10):
So right now I think that'd bea good feud.
They give naomi a chance to bea heel, you know.
Give baylor a chance to be ababy face again, or a good baby
face.
You know people already likeringer ways, but I think that'd
give him a good chance to kindof, you know, have a few for a
few weeks.
That way, no belts are onlineand all that, and then I not
just can few it wherever shewants a few with, whether it's
(06:31):
Tiffany or somebody else orNaomi, who knows for the next
match on the court is Damianpriest versus Finn Balor.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
No stipulation on this match, which which I'm kind
of surprised in, uh, but ifit's like a fight, I'm probably
I'm taking, uh, damian Priest.
But if it's like shenanigans,uh, shenanigans like an actual
like match shenanigans, I'mprobably taking Finn Balor, but
overall, uh, I'll probably takein Finn Balor, but overall I'll
(07:05):
probably say Damian Priest.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Question Does the demon make an appearance tonight
?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You don't think he will Nope you said tonight.
Well, tomorrow, Sorry.
Well tomorrow night.
Do you think the demon makes anappearance?
Finn Balor demon character,absolutely not.
You don't think he will.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Nope, not a chance.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I don't know.
I think we haven't seen him ina while Since last year's
WrestleMania Was it last year'sWrestleMania yeah against Edge
right.
Yeah, it was against Edge,wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah.
Yeah so yeah, this is the lasttime you might have seen him.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
So I mean, is this the time to bring him back?
I mean, is this the time toactually bring him back on?
I mean make a differentappearance.
I mean I don't know if he will,but like this would be the
match you can actually bring himback on for this match, I mean,
unless the other Judges of theDay guys get involved.
But maybe Finn Balor wants to doit on his own, because they did
already beat up Damien Priestalready on Monday Night Raw.
(08:11):
They beat him down, alreadyattacked him.
He ate how many Coup de GraceLike four or five, a bunch of
them.
So I mean, Did you see, did youwho'd you get, Who'd you get?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
picked.
I picked Damian Priest.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Damian Priest.
I mean as much as I like FinnBalor to win this match, because
I'm a Finn Balor fan.
I mean I was a fan of hisbefore he was in WWE.
He was in New Japan when he wasthe leader, when he was the
first leader of the Bullet Club.
So, like for me, I'll pickDamian Priest too.
(08:50):
I'm picking Damian Priest too.
Yeah, I got Damian Priest toostraight up.
Even though the gentlemen theywill get involved in this match,
I still got Damian Priest, butI kind of do want to see the
Demon Fan Ballad come out thoughin this one though.
But I'll pick Damian Priest.
In a good, hard-fought contestbetween two enemies, really, I
mean they used to be brothers,now they're enemies.
(09:11):
I mean this should be probablyone of the better matches on the
card tonight or tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Next on the card we have Liv Morgan versus Rhea
Ripley for the Women's WorldChampionship, with Dominic
Mysterio hanging from a sharkcage.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Hanging inside of a shark cage, not hanging from a
shark cage.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, hanging from a shark cage.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
He just holds his hand up, it won't last too long.
He holds on to it inside of ashark cage.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
He might be able to do some pull-ups in there.
No, not that many.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I mean he might, he might be able to do some
pull-ups in there, baby.
I mean he's gonna be asuspended above the ring, the
shark cage so like how high ishe gonna be?
Then just about rings we can'tsee, can't, so he can't
different a match yeah, withthis stipulation I'll probably
say.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I would probably say um, see here, just here's the
thing.
I feel like I'm when RheaRipley wins the Women's World
Heavyweight Championship.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Women's Heavyweight Championship.
Huh, women's World Championship.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, women's World Championship.
I feel like the feud's over,because she accomplished her
goal, beat Liv Morgan, and shehas her title back.
So I feel like that would bethe end of the storyline, and I
feel like there's going to bemultiple matches in the
storyline, don't you?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I'll get to what I think is going to happen as soon
as you get done with yours.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So I think, when Rhea Ripley wins, the storyline is
over.
So I'm taking Liv Morgan.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Just a straight-up match, no interference, no
interference.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I would say interference.
But there's no way Don'sgetting out that shark cage,
unless he has a sledgehammer upthere.
But yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
That's it.
You're forgetting one importantthing.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
What.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Who's on the phone with Don Listerio?
Where's Finn Balor at?
Who's he talking to?
What's on the phone withDonovan Mysterio?
Where's Finn Balor at?
Who's he talking to?
What's done?
Remember, he said, is it done?
And Finn Balor's like, yeah,we're good.
Who's he talking to?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Who do you think he was talking to?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I know who he was talking to.
I got my prediction.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Say it.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I think that Lil Morgan's going to win, based on
interference from a certainindividual from Rhea Ripley's
past.
Think about what Lil Morgansaid to Rhea Ripley.
What did she say to herbeforehand?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
She said I'm gonna take everything, Everything.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
So who's Rhea Ripley's best friend in
wrestling?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Like in real life or wrestling both.
Well, it used to be live morgan, but um, no, no, no, I'm
talking, her actual best friendin wrestling is.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
There's one, right, there's one.
They have a bunch of matchingtattoos.
You probably know all that, butuh raquel raquel rodriguez I
didn't know they were friends inreal life what better way to
take everything from Rhea Ripleythan to get her best friend to
interfere and then cost her amatch?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Well, they were friends too, Liv Morgan and Rhea
Ripley, I know, but that's whatI'm saying but that's what I'm
saying.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Liv Morgan said she's going to take everything from
Rhea Ripley.
She took Dominic from her, shetook her belt from her.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
She.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Well, except for Damian Priest.
But what I'm saying is the onlything she has left now is
taking her best friend from her,which is Raquel.
So if Finn convinced Raquel toturn her back on Rhea Ripley
there, you go, so you thinkRaquel's not injured anymore.
She's not injured anymore.
I don't think so and, like Isaid, finn, I was on the phone
(12:46):
with somebody.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Remember he was on the phone talking to somebody.
Now what's that?
Now that could have beensomebody for his match against
Damien Priest, but it soundslike the way it looked on TV was
they were talking aboutsomething for Lil' Morgan's
match.
You see what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
That's what it?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
sounds like.
So if it's for Lil' Morgan'smatch, I'm going to say it's
Raquel.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I don't see anybody else fitting, unless it's a
surprise interference ofsomebody.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
But I don't see, I just thought about something,
but no, what's up.
But it would kind of workagainst Finn Balor.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
What do you?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
think AJ Styles?
Yeah, I thought about it, butthen it wouldn't make sense.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
yeah, but I mean, like I said, it just depends.
Like I said, it depends on whathe.
I think the way, the way itlooked on TV was he was talking
about somebody for the LivMorgan match yeah and first
person popped in my head when Isaw that was Raquel.
The first person popped in myhead when I saw that was Raquel.
The first person that popped inmy head when I saw that.
So I was like, hmm, maybe it'sher, or let's just surprise a
(13:54):
new debut somebody coming upfrom NXT, somebody we're not
thinking about, maybe, but mymoney is on Raquel.
To come back in a fair matchcost Rhea Ripley a championship,
and then that leads to RheaRipley and Raquel fighting each
other, and that way Lil Morgandoesn't have to worry about Rhea
Ripley anymore.
Right now she can focus onwhatever she wants to do with
(14:15):
Dominic.
Mysterio on a judging day.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
And next or last it's Cody Rose and Roman Reigns
versus the Bloodline Solo Sokoaand Jacob Fatu, and for this one
it depends on two things.
In my opinion, it's a returnand a heel turn.
(14:48):
I think it's either Randy Ortonand Kevin Owens are going to
turn on Cody Rose or Jimmy Usoreturns, and if Jimmy Uso
returns, I have Roman Reigns andCody Rose.
But if Randy or Kevin or bothof them turn on Cody, I have the
(15:09):
bloodline.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
So we have to make a decision, though.
Which one do you think is goingto happen?
I think I know you've got twopossibilities.
Which one do you think is morelikely to happen?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I think it's more likely, kevin.
Kevin turns on Cody, I thinkit's more likely Kevin, so I got
the bloodline on this one.
Solo and Jacob.
Yeah yeah, this is another.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Kevin, so I got the bloodline on this one.
Solo and Jacob.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, this is another tough one, because I mean Roman
Reigns and Cody, I mean thoseare the last two champs in WWE.
I mean Roman Reigns had thebelt for how many years?
Four, almost four years, three,three and a half four years.
Over a thousand days aschampion.
I mean Cody Rhodes.
He's the one who beat RomanReigns.
I mean so.
(15:53):
That's a I mean on paper.
Nobody should beat Roman Reignsand Cody Rhodes in a tag team
match.
Nobody should beat them.
Period, I mean on paper Modernday.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying Imean you can do dream matches in
your head, but right now on TVthere's nobody in wrestling that
should be able to beat CodyRhodes for a boxing tag team
match.
But you got the bloodline.
(16:18):
You got the entire bloodline.
I mean Jacob Fatu.
If anybody's familiar withJacob Fatu, when he was in MLW,
the independent scene dude was abeast.
I mean he was doing stuff thathe shouldn't have been doing for
his size and he lost a littlebit of weight too, and he's
still doing the same kind ofstuff.
That's a dangerous guy rightthere and it's literally a
dangerous guy inside and outsidethe ring.
It's not a guy I want to walkdown the alley with and see him
(16:38):
on the other side of the alleyplaying.
You know, I mean Kevin Owens.
I think Kevin Owens is going toturn on Cody Rhodes regardless,
just because of the way thiswhole Bloodline story has played
out.
I mean Roman Reigns and did youhear what was it?
Michael Cole.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Kevin.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Owens has not pinned anybody from the Bloodline.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Oh yeah, he said that .
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Nobody.
Not one time has he pinnedsomebody from the Bloodline in
any match, because remember.
He's not pinned like Jay oranything, remember when Sami
Zayn and Kevin Owens won thechampionship, who pinned who?
It wasn't Kevin Owens.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Oh, Sammy pinned Jay.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Exactly.
Kevin Owens has never pinnedanybody from the bloodline, so
they pinned the bloodline,that's about it.
They have not pinned anybodyfrom the, he has not pinned
anybody from the bloodline.
So I think that he's madbecause now cody has joined
forces with the guy who, if itwasn't for ronald rey's in the
bloodline, kevin owens wouldhave won at least one
(17:34):
championship already, maybe twoor three you know, so I think
kevin is gonna turn.
Turn to the kevin owens.
Everybody knows kevin owens tobe.
When he was kevin steen in ringof honor or what a possibility.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
They could do like a whole new character or they
could probably not very possible, but he could still be a baby
face.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
But just hate cody rose yeah, true, like I said, or
jay was looking, not that jimmywas looking.
Come back yeah but I'm not surebecause, based on what rikishi
was saying the other day, jimmywas saying whatever is wrong
with him may be not healingright, unless it's just a swerve
to get people thinking that?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
What did Rikishi say?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Oh, he said something about pray for Jimmy or
something like that.
So I'm not sure if that wasjust a work to get fans talking
or was it legit, I don't know.
But anyways, if he is healthyand he is ready, hopefully he
comes back tomorrow.
If not, what happens if Codyturns on Kevin Owens, though,
and he turns heel?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I don't see that.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I mean because think about it, how many times did
Kevin Owens almost hit CodyRhodes and Cody Rhodes didn't
pay attention to that?
What if Cody Rhodes said youknow what, I'm going to get him
first, before he gets me?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
His character is like that Because think about it.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Think about it Most of the champions look at Roman
Reigns.
Roman Reigns is a babyface whenhe first won a championship.
Then he turned into a heel.
I mean it happens.
Nobody liked Roman Reigns whenhe first won a championship.
They didn't even boo him.
Everybody knows that.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
But then he turned into a straight heel and became
the biggest heel in the company.
You know the bloodline.
What if Cody Rhodes kind ofdoes the same thing?
He?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
sees nobody really likes it and he turns into a
heel.
I mean, I don't know, I'm justthrowing something out there,
what do you?
Think just.
I feel like Cody Rhodes'character fits a heel better
than it does a babyface yeah, Imean no way.
Yeah, it fits a heel, it fits aheel way better than a babyface
one thing, though.
One thing If he's going to be ababy face we all know the
American nightmare how issomeone going to be a nightmare
(19:34):
after the baby face?
How are you going to cheersomeone and they call themselves
a nightmare, american nightmare?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Exactly.
I mean, that's just it.
His whole thing is a heel, andthe fact that he's a baby face
is crazy.
I mean his whole persona, theway he talks about his stuff,
the way he acts.
People shouldn't like.
The way he acts like that,People shouldn't like that.
That's the same way that Mizwas acting when he was the
A-lister.
What's the difference?
(20:01):
I mean, it's how peopleactually like him.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Same thing with Bianca Belair, bianca.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Belair.
Same way.
She's a heel charactertechnically.
Jade is definitely a heelcharacter.
I mean, they're just beingfaces right now for some reason,
I mean because the fans enjoyit.
I guess fans like them, youknow.
But yeah, I'm going to pickRoman Reigns and Cody Rhodes
just for the simple fact that Ithink Jimmy Uso is going to
(20:25):
return tonight or tomorrow night.
I think Jimmy Uso is going tocome back help out in the match.
I mean, you got the offense atGrills of Disney Offense that's
their name in New Japan.
Grills of Disney, tonga Law andToma Tonga.
You do got those guys.
I mean, people don't like theway Tonga Law wrestles sometimes
(20:49):
.
Butch Machine but how manychampionships have they won?
Tag team championships havethey won around the world?
They've won championships everysingle place they've been to.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
They've literally won championships every single
company they've been in.
Yeah, so you can't deny thembeing one of the best tag teams
in the world period.
Mm-hmm, they're doing somethingright them being one of the
best tag teams in the world.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Period.
They're doing something right.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I mean, he may not be a Bret Hart type of wrestler,
or Bryan Danielson.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Do you agree that he botches a lot?
Of course he botches.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
A lot of people botch , though.
A lot of people botch moves.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah, but like he did one of these knees and he
missed how you grab somebody'sarm, line them up and swerve and
miss.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's how it happens .
Sometimes, man, You're movingso fast in the ring it's just
how you miss.
It doesn't work 100% of thetime.
Just think about when you'replaying a sport.
Just by playing a sport, howmany times have you dropped a
baseball?
Or dropped a baseball, ordidn't hit a baseball, or missed
a shot or you know what I'msaying or dropped a ball off
your foot?
It happens.
I mean, it's sports.
When it's sports, it's whatthis is Wrestling, whatever you
(21:58):
want to call it.
It's just like a regular sport.
When you do something, you'renot going to be 100% of anything
, so you're going to mess up alittle bit.
Yeah, but he missed a low blow,dad, it's hard to miss a blue
blue.
Well, is it, though?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
it's right there, aim target if you're, if you're off
, you slip.
If you slip, why are you tryingto do it?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
that's what he did exactly he slipped, so I can, so
you can't blame him forslipping and still trying, and
still trying to go withoutstopping.
You know his mistake was hekept on going through.
He should have slipped, fail,got up and did it, you know,
instead of just trying to keepthe move going while he was
slipping.
You know, but I don't know, Imean just you know, I don't know
.
It's just, people don't likehim, but they're still tag team
(22:39):
champions.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
We're going to see tonight on SmackDown.
If they can retain him, againstwhat is it?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
DIY Street Profits in a ladder match.
Ladder match yeah, it's aladder match.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Street Profits in a ladder match yeah it's a ladder
match, and then you also haveTiffany Stratton and Naomi in a
singles match, and then you alsohave Meechan and Chelsea Green
in a dumpster match, which islike a street fight match, I
(23:11):
guess.
I guess it's a street fight,but you have to put your
opponent in a dumpster man,don't you?
Match which?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
is like well then, I can street fight much.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I guess, uh, I guess it's a street fight, but you
have to put your opponent in adumpster.
Yeah, if the email mess onthere.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Oh, it is down in terms yeah, anybody else gonna
be on there, I'm sure, sureFriday.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Maybe it might do something backstage.
Cody Rhodes has to be there,right.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, probably Kevin Owens, randy Orton, ricky the
return of Ricky.
No, I'm not coming back, butyeah do you think they want us
for it to forget about Ricky?
Just throw him in the he wasn'thope he won't public uses.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
He won't get so much fat.
One focus shares was supposedto.
It was supposed to be a like ajob.
He's a basic job, or what hewas, and the fans like them,
though you know the most overjobber in history.
Exactly.
But yes, I mean Actually that'sJames Ellsworth, but we're not
going to talk about that.
(24:03):
But yeah, james Ellsworth wasprobably the biggest jobber.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Was he really that over, though, with the fans?
Yes.
What about Enzo, though?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Enzo wasn't a jobber, though he was a wrestler.
I'm saying, james Ellsworthcame on as a jobber, but he
wasn't over the ring, but thinkabout it.
He came on as a jobber to BraunStrowman.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Remember Mm-hmm Braun Strowman choked him out the
ring.
Yeah, he was a jobber but heended up having a money in the
bank match, basically withCarmella you know, winning it
for her.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
You know so.
But yeah, I got to digress butyeah, so yeah, SmackDown tonight
should be pretty interesting.
See what kind of happens there.
See if Kevin Owens, if thestoryline between Kevin Owens
and Cody Rhodes kind ofprogresses a little more.
We saw a little bit of it lastweek with Kevin Owens and Cody
Rose in the tag team match.
We'll see how it kind of goestoday.
I mean, we'll see if Ramirezcomes out, maybe, maybe not.
(24:59):
We don't know what happens withthat.
Bayley and Naomi we'll see somemore of that dynamics to see if
they're going to have theirlittle match, like I predicted
earlier.
I mean, I know Tiffany and Nia.
They're friends right now, butTiffany has a briefcase.
She can catch up with Niawhenever she wants to.
Will it be tomorrow night?
(25:19):
Will it be tonight?
Will it be Survivor Series?
Will she wait untilWrestleMania or?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Royal Rumble?
I don't see that happening.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
How long is she going to wait?
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I think it's a matter of how long they want to
stretch out Nia Jax's titlereign.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeah.
Yeah, I got you, but you knowanything else, buddy.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
No, I think that's it .
Speaker 2 (25:41):
All right, so broadcasting live from ATL, home
of Bad Blood, premier LiveEvent.
I'm Ben, I'm Bash.
This has been another episodeof.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Tag Team Talk.
welcome to the benny bash podcast.
Tag team talk I'm ben I'm bash.
It's time to lace up your bootsand hit the mat with the benny
bash podcast tag team talk allright, for another one, you may
see a different scenery.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Today we are actually in in atlanta for the Bad Bud
Premium Live event going ontomorrow, so yeah, I got my Yeet
shirt on.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I took a picture with Jey Uso earlier.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, it's going to be posted right there.
But yeah, we're going to do aprediction show, like we always
do.
We're going to give us who wethink is going to win, who we
think is going to win, who wethink is going to happen, any
surprises, any returns.
You know all the good stuff, solet's get to it.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
For the first match.
We have CM Punk versus DrewMcIntyre in a Hell, in a Cell
match.
Now I really want Drew McIntyreto win, but I just see CM Punk
coming out victorious.
But Drew McIntyre, in my myopinion at least, has some of
the best work off of a majorloss like, um, he did this, this
(01:11):
stuff that he's doing right nowwith cm punk after he lost wait
, no, he didn't lose after, yeah, well, after he lost against
damian priest.
So I I think it would be finefrom this, but I I'm pretty sure
that CM Punk is going to win.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, oh, this is a tough one.
I mean, Drew Bantyre has neverwon a Hell in a Cell match.
I mean, granted, he's only hadwhat one or two anyways, but
still, I mean one or two Hell ina Cell matches is still one
more than a lot of people have.
But I don't know.
I think that maybe somethinghappens in this match.
I mean, cm punk was just on nxt.
(01:48):
Uh, he gave to go to sleep toethan page.
I mean, does ethan page make anappearance and interfere in the
match?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I thought that's where you were gonna go, but I
don't think so yeah, I don'tknow.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I mean I don't see it if, if no, if no interference
or anything happens.
Uh, who'd you pick?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
drew bagentire yeah, wait, no, no, I'll see him pick
sam punk.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna just for a second.
I'm just gonna go.
Drew bagentire, then I'm gonnadrew bagentire, just to be
different.
That way we have somebody tocheer for.
Since we're going to be therelive tomorrow, I'm going to go.
Drew McIntyre I think he needsto win.
Cm Punk already has the fansbehind him.
What better way to get moreheat on you than to beat CM Punk
(02:37):
in the Hell in a Cell match,make him bleed and all that kind
of stuff?
I got Drew McIntyre for theHell in a Cell match against CM
Punk.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
For the next match, it's Nia Jax versus Bayley for
the WWE Women's Championship andyou know, at SummerSlam they
had an amazing match.
Nobody saw it coming.
So we already know that they'regoing to put on an amazing
match, or at least that's theexpectation.
But personally I would haveloved to see Naomi against Nia
(03:06):
Jax, but for this match wealready saw it.
I think it's going to be thesame outcome.
I think Nia Jax wins thisagainst Bayley.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Just straight up, no interference or anything.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Fake cash-in from Tiffany.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Fake cash-in.
You think fake cash-in?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
She's not cash in.
Too many people think she'scash in.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I mean, look at what happened, though.
Nah, Jax did try to choke herout.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
But that's too soon though.
Like that next pay-per-view,though, Like you know how Triple
H likes to build up storyline,she's not going to cash in
tonight.
I mean tomorrow.
I guarantee she could, though Iguarantee that she's not gonna
cash in tomorrow, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I guess we'll see, but you're, I think.
I think you're forgetting aboutone person that could interfere
in this match.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Naomi.
Naomi against who Bayley whynot?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Bayley did beat her in this match has Naomi ever
been a heel?
Mmm, she got booed a few timeswhen she was with.
When she was with, what's theguy who used to dance all the
time she was with?
She used to dance with Cameron.
You know what I'm talking aboutthe guy who used to come out
(04:18):
dancing all the time.
His name is Titus now.
He's Titus now and I think NWA.
But what was his name?
I can't think of what his namewas, but he's Titus now.
He's Titus now and I think NWA.
But what was his name?
I can't think of what his namewas, but he's Titus now.
But yeah, no, she was gettingbooed, I think, with them when
he was a heel at one point intime, because they were heel
valets, I guess you could callit.
But yeah, I think that.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Oh, she already picked Nia Jax already.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, I picked Nia Jax.
I don't think Tiffany Strattonis going to cash in.
She may do a fake cash in justto mess with Nia, because Nia
did try to choke her out onFriday Night Smackdown and I
think Tiffany wasn't really shedidn't really like that.
But I do think baby Naomi isgoing to come in interfering in
the match.
I like she's going to come out.
(05:04):
She's going to come ininterfering the match.
I like she's going to come out.
She's going to, you know, beatup Tiffany Stratton or stop her
from cashing in and then, whileshe's doing that, calls Bailey
the championship.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Could get Bailey distracted.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
To get Bailey, or, yeah, to get Bailey distracted
or calls her or hit her orsomething like that, and then
that opens up a whole few forBailey and Naomi to go against
each other.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Wait what's the next pay-per-view?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Uh, what's this Crown Jewel?
It's either Crown Jewel orSurvivor Series, I'm not sure
which one is first.
Both of them are Crown Jewel atthe end of this month, and then
Survivor Series is Novembernormally.
Normally, survivor Series is inNovember, and then Crown Jewel
is usually November.
Too early November, end ofOctober, but yeah, so I think
it's Crown Jewel next and thenSurvivor Series.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
But yeah, I think that, yeah, I think I got.
I mean I want Bayley to win.
I mean I'm a Bayley fan, but Ijust think that Naomi is going
to interfere in the match it'scalled the Bayley Championship.
It's going to lead to them twofeuding with each other, which
that can be a good feud, becauseright now outside nia, jax
baylor doesn't have anybody touh to feud with, you know.
(06:10):
So right now I think that'd bea good feud.
They give naomi a chance to bea heel, you know.
Give baylor a chance to be ababy face again, or a good baby
face.
You know people already likeringer ways, but I think that'd
give him a good chance to kindof, you know, have a few for a
few weeks.
That way, no belts are onlineand all that, and then I not
just can few it wherever shewants a few with, whether it's
(06:31):
Tiffany or somebody else orNaomi, who knows for the next
match on the court is Damianpriest versus Finn Balor.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
No stipulation on this match, which which I'm kind
of surprised in, uh, but ifit's like a fight, I'm probably
I'm taking, uh, damian Priest.
But if it's like shenanigans,uh, shenanigans like an actual
like match shenanigans, I'mprobably taking Finn Balor, but
overall, uh, I'll probably takein Finn Balor, but overall I'll
(07:05):
probably say Damian Priest.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Question Does the demon make an appearance tonight
?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You don't think he will Nope you said tonight.
Well, tomorrow, Sorry.
Well tomorrow night.
Do you think the demon makes anappearance?
Finn Balor demon character,absolutely not.
You don't think he will.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Nope, not a chance.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I don't know.
I think we haven't seen him ina while Since last year's
WrestleMania Was it last year'sWrestleMania yeah against Edge
right.
Yeah, it was against Edge,wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah.
Yeah so yeah, this is the lasttime you might have seen him.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
So I mean, is this the time to bring him back?
I mean, is this the time toactually bring him back on?
I mean make a differentappearance.
I mean I don't know if he will,but like this would be the
match you can actually bring himback on for this match, I mean,
unless the other Judges of theDay guys get involved.
But maybe Finn Balor wants to doit on his own, because they did
already beat up Damien Priestalready on Monday Night Raw.
(08:11):
They beat him down, alreadyattacked him.
He ate how many Coup de GraceLike four or five, a bunch of
them.
So I mean, Did you see, did youwho'd you get, Who'd you get?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
picked.
I picked Damian Priest.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Damian Priest.
I mean as much as I like FinnBalor to win this match, because
I'm a Finn Balor fan.
I mean I was a fan of hisbefore he was in WWE.
He was in New Japan when he wasthe leader, when he was the
first leader of the Bullet Club.
So, like for me, I'll pickDamian Priest too.
(08:50):
I'm picking Damian Priest too.
Yeah, I got Damian Priest toostraight up.
Even though the gentlemen theywill get involved in this match,
I still got Damian Priest, butI kind of do want to see the
Demon Fan Ballad come out thoughin this one though.
But I'll pick Damian Priest.
In a good, hard-fought contestbetween two enemies, really, I
mean they used to be brothers,now they're enemies.
(09:11):
I mean this should be probablyone of the better matches on the
card tonight or tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Next on the card we have Liv Morgan versus Rhea
Ripley for the Women's WorldChampionship, with Dominic
Mysterio hanging from a sharkcage.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Hanging inside of a shark cage, not hanging from a
shark cage.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, hanging from a shark cage.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
He just holds his hand up, it won't last too long.
He holds on to it inside of ashark cage.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
He might be able to do some pull-ups in there.
No, not that many.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I mean he might, he might be able to do some
pull-ups in there, baby.
I mean he's gonna be asuspended above the ring, the
shark cage so like how high ishe gonna be?
Then just about rings we can'tsee, can't, so he can't
different a match yeah, withthis stipulation I'll probably
say.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I would probably say um, see here, just here's the
thing.
I feel like I'm when RheaRipley wins the Women's World
Heavyweight Championship.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Women's Heavyweight Championship.
Huh, women's World Championship.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, women's World Championship.
I feel like the feud's over,because she accomplished her
goal, beat Liv Morgan, and shehas her title back.
So I feel like that would bethe end of the storyline, and I
feel like there's going to bemultiple matches in the
storyline, don't you?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I'll get to what I think is going to happen as soon
as you get done with yours.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So I think, when Rhea Ripley wins, the storyline is
over.
So I'm taking Liv Morgan.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Just a straight-up match, no interference, no
interference.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I would say interference.
But there's no way Don'sgetting out that shark cage,
unless he has a sledgehammer upthere.
But yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
That's it.
You're forgetting one importantthing.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
What.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Who's on the phone with Don Listerio?
Where's Finn Balor at?
Who's he talking to?
What's on the phone withDonovan Mysterio?
Where's Finn Balor at?
Who's he talking to?
What's done?
Remember, he said, is it done?
And Finn Balor's like, yeah,we're good.
Who's he talking to?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Who do you think he was talking to?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I know who he was talking to.
I got my prediction.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Say it.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I think that Lil Morgan's going to win, based on
interference from a certainindividual from Rhea Ripley's
past.
Think about what Lil Morgansaid to Rhea Ripley.
What did she say to herbeforehand?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
She said I'm gonna take everything, Everything.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
So who's Rhea Ripley's best friend in
wrestling?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Like in real life or wrestling both.
Well, it used to be live morgan, but um, no, no, no, I'm
talking, her actual best friendin wrestling is.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
There's one, right, there's one.
They have a bunch of matchingtattoos.
You probably know all that, butuh raquel raquel rodriguez I
didn't know they were friends inreal life what better way to
take everything from Rhea Ripleythan to get her best friend to
interfere and then cost her amatch?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Well, they were friends too, Liv Morgan and Rhea
Ripley, I know, but that's whatI'm saying but that's what I'm
saying.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Liv Morgan said she's going to take everything from
Rhea Ripley.
She took Dominic from her, shetook her belt from her.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
She.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Well, except for Damian Priest.
But what I'm saying is the onlything she has left now is
taking her best friend from her,which is Raquel.
So if Finn convinced Raquel toturn her back on Rhea Ripley
there, you go, so you thinkRaquel's not injured anymore.
She's not injured anymore.
I don't think so and, like Isaid, finn, I was on the phone
(12:46):
with somebody.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Remember he was on the phone talking to somebody.
Now what's that?
Now that could have beensomebody for his match against
Damien Priest, but it soundslike the way it looked on TV was
they were talking aboutsomething for Lil' Morgan's
match.
You see what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
That's what it?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
sounds like.
So if it's for Lil' Morgan'smatch, I'm going to say it's
Raquel.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I don't see anybody else fitting, unless it's a
surprise interference ofsomebody.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
But I don't see, I just thought about something,
but no, what's up.
But it would kind of workagainst Finn Balor.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
What do you?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
think AJ Styles?
Yeah, I thought about it, butthen it wouldn't make sense.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
yeah, but I mean, like I said, it just depends.
Like I said, it depends on whathe.
I think the way, the way itlooked on TV was he was talking
about somebody for the LivMorgan match yeah and first
person popped in my head when Isaw that was Raquel.
The first person popped in myhead when I saw that was Raquel.
The first person that popped inmy head when I saw that.
So I was like, hmm, maybe it'sher, or let's just surprise a
(13:54):
new debut somebody coming upfrom NXT, somebody we're not
thinking about, maybe, but mymoney is on Raquel.
To come back in a fair matchcost Rhea Ripley a championship,
and then that leads to RheaRipley and Raquel fighting each
other, and that way Lil Morgandoesn't have to worry about Rhea
Ripley anymore.
Right now she can focus onwhatever she wants to do with
(14:15):
Dominic.
Mysterio on a judging day.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
And next or last it's Cody Rose and Roman Reigns
versus the Bloodline Solo Sokoaand Jacob Fatu, and for this one
it depends on two things.
In my opinion, it's a returnand a heel turn.
(14:48):
I think it's either Randy Ortonand Kevin Owens are going to
turn on Cody Rose or Jimmy Usoreturns, and if Jimmy Uso
returns, I have Roman Reigns andCody Rose.
But if Randy or Kevin or bothof them turn on Cody, I have the
(15:09):
bloodline.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
So we have to make a decision, though.
Which one do you think is goingto happen?
I think I know you've got twopossibilities.
Which one do you think is morelikely to happen?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I think it's more likely, kevin.
Kevin turns on Cody, I thinkit's more likely Kevin, so I got
the bloodline on this one.
Solo and Jacob.
Yeah yeah, this is another.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Kevin, so I got the bloodline on this one.
Solo and Jacob.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, this is another tough one, because I mean Roman
Reigns and Cody, I mean thoseare the last two champs in WWE.
I mean Roman Reigns had thebelt for how many years?
Four, almost four years, three,three and a half four years.
Over a thousand days aschampion.
I mean Cody Rhodes.
He's the one who beat RomanReigns.
I mean so.
(15:53):
That's a I mean on paper.
Nobody should beat Roman Reignsand Cody Rhodes in a tag team
match.
Nobody should beat them.
Period, I mean on paper Modernday.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying Imean you can do dream matches in
your head, but right now on TVthere's nobody in wrestling that
should be able to beat CodyRhodes for a boxing tag team
match.
But you got the bloodline.
(16:18):
You got the entire bloodline.
I mean Jacob Fatu.
If anybody's familiar withJacob Fatu, when he was in MLW,
the independent scene dude was abeast.
I mean he was doing stuff thathe shouldn't have been doing for
his size and he lost a littlebit of weight too, and he's
still doing the same kind ofstuff.
That's a dangerous guy rightthere and it's literally a
dangerous guy inside and outsidethe ring.
It's not a guy I want to walkdown the alley with and see him
(16:38):
on the other side of the alleyplaying.
You know, I mean Kevin Owens.
I think Kevin Owens is going toturn on Cody Rhodes regardless,
just because of the way thiswhole Bloodline story has played
out.
I mean Roman Reigns and did youhear what was it?
Michael Cole.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Kevin.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Owens has not pinned anybody from the Bloodline.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Oh yeah, he said that .
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Nobody.
Not one time has he pinnedsomebody from the Bloodline in
any match, because remember.
He's not pinned like Jay oranything, remember when Sami
Zayn and Kevin Owens won thechampionship, who pinned who?
It wasn't Kevin Owens.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Oh, Sammy pinned Jay.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Exactly.
Kevin Owens has never pinnedanybody from the bloodline, so
they pinned the bloodline,that's about it.
They have not pinned anybodyfrom the, he has not pinned
anybody from the bloodline.
So I think that he's madbecause now cody has joined
forces with the guy who, if itwasn't for ronald rey's in the
bloodline, kevin owens wouldhave won at least one
(17:34):
championship already, maybe twoor three you know, so I think
kevin is gonna turn.
Turn to the kevin owens.
Everybody knows kevin owens tobe.
When he was kevin steen in ringof honor or what a possibility.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
They could do like a whole new character or they
could probably not very possible, but he could still be a baby
face.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
But just hate cody rose yeah, true, like I said, or
jay was looking, not that jimmywas looking.
Come back yeah but I'm not surebecause, based on what rikishi
was saying the other day, jimmywas saying whatever is wrong
with him may be not healingright, unless it's just a swerve
to get people thinking that?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
What did Rikishi say?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Oh, he said something about pray for Jimmy or
something like that.
So I'm not sure if that wasjust a work to get fans talking
or was it legit, I don't know.
But anyways, if he is healthyand he is ready, hopefully he
comes back tomorrow.
If not, what happens if Codyturns on Kevin Owens, though,
and he turns heel?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I don't see that.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I mean because think about it, how many times did
Kevin Owens almost hit CodyRhodes and Cody Rhodes didn't
pay attention to that?
What if Cody Rhodes said youknow what, I'm going to get him
first, before he gets me?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
His character is like that Because think about it.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Think about it Most of the champions look at Roman
Reigns.
Roman Reigns is a babyface whenhe first won a championship.
Then he turned into a heel.
I mean it happens.
Nobody liked Roman Reigns whenhe first won a championship.
They didn't even boo him.
Everybody knows that.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
But then he turned into a straight heel and became
the biggest heel in the company.
You know the bloodline.
What if Cody Rhodes kind ofdoes the same thing?
He?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
sees nobody really likes it and he turns into a
heel.
I mean, I don't know, I'm justthrowing something out there,
what do you?
Think just.
I feel like Cody Rhodes'character fits a heel better
than it does a babyface yeah, Imean no way.
Yeah, it fits a heel, it fits aheel way better than a babyface
one thing, though.
One thing If he's going to be ababy face we all know the
American nightmare how issomeone going to be a nightmare
(19:34):
after the baby face?
How are you going to cheersomeone and they call themselves
a nightmare, american nightmare?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Exactly.
I mean, that's just it.
His whole thing is a heel, andthe fact that he's a baby face
is crazy.
I mean his whole persona, theway he talks about his stuff,
the way he acts.
People shouldn't like.
The way he acts like that,People shouldn't like that.
That's the same way that Mizwas acting when he was the
A-lister.
What's the difference?
(20:01):
I mean, it's how peopleactually like him.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Same thing with Bianca Belair, bianca.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Belair.
Same way.
She's a heel charactertechnically.
Jade is definitely a heelcharacter.
I mean, they're just beingfaces right now for some reason,
I mean because the fans enjoyit.
I guess fans like them, youknow.
But yeah, I'm going to pickRoman Reigns and Cody Rhodes
just for the simple fact that Ithink Jimmy Uso is going to
(20:25):
return tonight or tomorrow night.
I think Jimmy Uso is going tocome back help out in the match.
I mean, you got the offense atGrills of Disney Offense that's
their name in New Japan.
Grills of Disney, tonga Law andToma Tonga.
You do got those guys.
I mean, people don't like theway Tonga Law wrestles sometimes
(20:49):
.
Butch Machine but how manychampionships have they won?
Tag team championships havethey won around the world?
They've won championships everysingle place they've been to.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
They've literally won championships every single
company they've been in.
Yeah, so you can't deny thembeing one of the best tag teams
in the world period.
Mm-hmm, they're doing somethingright them being one of the
best tag teams in the world.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Period.
They're doing something right.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I mean, he may not be a Bret Hart type of wrestler,
or Bryan Danielson.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Do you agree that he botches a lot?
Of course he botches.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
A lot of people botch , though.
A lot of people botch moves.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah, but like he did one of these knees and he
missed how you grab somebody'sarm, line them up and swerve and
miss.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's how it happens .
Sometimes, man, You're movingso fast in the ring it's just
how you miss.
It doesn't work 100% of thetime.
Just think about when you'replaying a sport.
Just by playing a sport, howmany times have you dropped a
baseball?
Or dropped a baseball, ordidn't hit a baseball, or missed
a shot or you know what I'msaying or dropped a ball off
your foot?
It happens.
I mean, it's sports.
When it's sports, it's whatthis is Wrestling, whatever you
(21:58):
want to call it.
It's just like a regular sport.
When you do something, you'renot going to be 100% of anything
, so you're going to mess up alittle bit.
Yeah, but he missed a low blow,dad, it's hard to miss a blue
blue.
Well, is it, though?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
it's right there, aim target if you're, if you're off
, you slip.
If you slip, why are you tryingto do it?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
that's what he did exactly he slipped, so I can, so
you can't blame him forslipping and still trying, and
still trying to go withoutstopping.
You know his mistake was hekept on going through.
He should have slipped, fail,got up and did it, you know,
instead of just trying to keepthe move going while he was
slipping.
You know, but I don't know, Imean just you know, I don't know
.
It's just, people don't likehim, but they're still tag team
(22:39):
champions.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
We're going to see tonight on SmackDown.
If they can retain him, againstwhat is it?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
DIY Street Profits in a ladder match.
Ladder match yeah, it's aladder match.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Street Profits in a ladder match yeah it's a ladder
match, and then you also haveTiffany Stratton and Naomi in a
singles match, and then you alsohave Meechan and Chelsea Green
in a dumpster match, which islike a street fight match, I
(23:11):
guess.
I guess it's a street fight,but you have to put your
opponent in a dumpster man,don't you?
Match which?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
is like well then, I can street fight much.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I guess, uh, I guess it's a street fight, but you
have to put your opponent in adumpster.
Yeah, if the email mess onthere.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Oh, it is down in terms yeah, anybody else gonna
be on there, I'm sure, sureFriday.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Maybe it might do something backstage.
Cody Rhodes has to be there,right.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, probably Kevin Owens, randy Orton, ricky the
return of Ricky.
No, I'm not coming back, butyeah do you think they want us
for it to forget about Ricky?
Just throw him in the he wasn'thope he won't public uses.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
He won't get so much fat.
One focus shares was supposedto.
It was supposed to be a like ajob.
He's a basic job, or what hewas, and the fans like them,
though you know the most overjobber in history.
Exactly.
But yes, I mean Actually that'sJames Ellsworth, but we're not
going to talk about that.
(24:03):
But yeah, james Ellsworth wasprobably the biggest jobber.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Was he really that over, though, with the fans?
Yes.
What about Enzo, though?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Enzo wasn't a jobber, though he was a wrestler.
I'm saying, james Ellsworthcame on as a jobber, but he
wasn't over the ring, but thinkabout it.
He came on as a jobber to BraunStrowman.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Remember Mm-hmm Braun Strowman choked him out the
ring.
Yeah, he was a jobber but heended up having a money in the
bank match, basically withCarmella you know, winning it
for her.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
You know so.
But yeah, I got to digress butyeah, so yeah, SmackDown tonight
should be pretty interesting.
See what kind of happens there.
See if Kevin Owens, if thestoryline between Kevin Owens
and Cody Rhodes kind ofprogresses a little more.
We saw a little bit of it lastweek with Kevin Owens and Cody
Rose in the tag team match.
We'll see how it kind of goestoday.
I mean, we'll see if Ramirezcomes out, maybe, maybe not.
(24:59):
We don't know what happens withthat.
Bayley and Naomi we'll see somemore of that dynamics to see if
they're going to have theirlittle match, like I predicted
earlier.
I mean, I know Tiffany and Nia.
They're friends right now, butTiffany has a briefcase.
She can catch up with Niawhenever she wants to.
Will it be tomorrow night?
(25:19):
Will it be tonight?
Will it be Survivor Series?
Will she wait untilWrestleMania or?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Royal Rumble?
I don't see that happening.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
How long is she going to wait?
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I think it's a matter of how long they want to
stretch out Nia Jax's titlereign.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeah.
Yeah, I got you, but you knowanything else, buddy.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
