Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome to the Ben and Bash Podcast Tag Team Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I'm.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Ben, I'm Bash.
It's time to let's ship yourboots and hit them out with the
Ben and Bash Podcast Tag TeamTalk.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
All right, here we are for another one.
Today we're going to be doingthe predictions for money in the
bank, as usual, predictions whowe think are going to win,
storylines.
We might be talking about whothey're going to cash in on
potentially all that.
We're not going to be doing aWorlds Collide today mainly
(00:35):
because we haven't reallywatched a lot of AAA.
I watched a little bit of it,but we're not 100% familiar with
all the people from AAA, so wecan't really give you an honest
breakdown of the matches youknow to really get you good
predictions.
So we're just going to watch itand enjoy it like everybody
else is.
But yeah, let's get to it.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
All right, for the first match on the card, it's
Lyra Valkyrie versus Becky Lynch.
But there's a bunch ofstipulations on this match.
If Becky Lynch loses, she can'tchallenge for the belt anymore,
while Lyra has the belt.
And if Lyra loses she has toraise her hand and she has to
raise Becky's hand and admitthat Becky's a better wrestler,
(01:17):
or better female or women'swrestler.
Uh, but and this is for theIntercontinental Women's
Championship so for this one, Ithink Becky Lynch.
I think she would win, becauseI think the storyline is going
to go further than this, becauseI think also Bayley could come
(01:40):
out, which is the thing thatcould make Lyra win.
But I think Becky wins to keepthis feud going.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
That's what you got, is it?
You think Becky wins?
No, I'm halfway there with you.
I was there when you saidBayley, and then after that you
lost me.
So I think Bayley's going tocome out interfering in the
match, but I think she's goingto help Lara win.
Remember, becky is the one whoattacked Bayley.
(02:10):
That's what Becky said.
She attacked Bayley and thentook her spot at WrestleMania.
So we haven't seen Bayley sinceWrestleMania.
So this would be the perfecttime for Bayley to come back
interfering in the match andthen that would start and since
Becky can't challenge for thebelt anymore, that would start a
feud with Becky and Bayley andthat feud doesn't really need a
(02:34):
belt involved.
That's one of the matches thatjust has history where you don't
really need a belt to sell thatfeud and that can leave Lyra
open to.
Actually, becky doesn't need tobe in that title picture.
You can put other women in thattitle picture against Lyra.
(02:55):
There's a bunch of other womenin WWE that can be in the
Intercontinental Champion ormid-card, whatever you want to
call it.
Take Becky out of that.
Put her that can be in theIntercontinental Champion or
mid-card, whatever you want tocall it, you know.
You know.
Take Becky out of that, put heragainst Bayley, have them feud
for a little while.
I mean, summerslam is coming uphere soon.
That'd be something good forboth of them, since neither one
(03:17):
of them are going to be in theworld title picture right now.
So, yeah, I'm going to go withLyra winning with the help of
Bayley.
Becky can't challenge for theIntercontinental belt anymore as
long as Lyra has it.
That leaves Lyra open to goingagainst somebody else, another
female.
I'm not sure who that's goingto be, but it can be anybody,
(03:38):
because there's a bunch offemale wrestlers who need
opportunities.
There's a bunch of them on TV.
There's a bunch of them in WWEwho's not on TV right now, who
could be in that title picture.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
That's what the whole Intercontinental Women's
Championship was made for.
It wasn't made for Becky Lynch.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It was made for people like Lara and you know
then.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, I think they're giving the mid-card belts to
people who like need it Becausegiven the belt, the the mid-card
belts to people who like needit because, like zelina vega,
chelsea green and liar valkyria,with people who probably
weren't going to the main eventscene, just quite even, and even
with the people who'schallenged for the belt so far.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, um, with um meechin and people like that.
You know people like that whodon't really be on tv much.
They've even challenged for thebelt.
I mean, even even if they don'twin it, it's good to have
challengers and a storyline forthem.
You know which?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I think it's beef, that beef and challenge.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Exactly, I mean those off-topic, even with Julia.
That's giving her something todo.
We see that's going to be,that's going's, that's what
looks like it's going with me.
I'm gonna pick laura, like that, so she can go and have a few
with somebody else.
They can go ahead and have that, because I mean, what's the
(04:53):
point of becky attacking baileyif you're not gonna do anything
with that?
yeah, what's the point of it.
No point, if you're not gonnado it, I mean unless you.
Just I mean I don't know, let's, I don't know you.
If you're not going to do it, Imean unless you.
Just I mean I don't know, Idon't know.
If you're going to say youattack somebody, then go ahead
and do something with it, right,so why not?
(05:16):
So that should be an excuse forboth of them.
Like I said, have Lara,challenge somebody, somebody,
I'm not sure who, and then haveBecky and Bayley.
But yeah, that's all I got forthat.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yep, all right, that's all I have for that too.
Next match on the card it'sAlexa Bliss versus Roxanne Perez
versus Rhea Ripley versus Juliaversus Naomi versus Stephanie
Valkyr for Valkyr, for thewomen's money In the women's
money in the bank match, and forthis one it's really good
Because you can really see I canreally see, anyways Every
(05:55):
person in this match winning.
But yeah, and you can't reallysee that With some of the
matches, some of the money inthe bank matches From last year
any or any years.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Sometimes you can tell like, okay, one or two of
these women aren't winning.
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah, some of them.
You can't, you can, you canpretty much.
Just you can almost bet on likethey're not, they're not gonna
win this match or you could justsee one person winning and
nobody else or I'm gonna say, oryou start one or two people.
I already know they're notgoing to win this match.
I can already scratch them outsometimes.
This one I'll make it feel likeany one of these six women can
(06:30):
win.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
But I think the favorites are Alexa Bliss, rhea
Ripley and Naomi.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
The three veterans.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, I think that's who's probably gonna win if I
were to bet on this.
But cause Rhea Ripley.
If she wins, molly, the Bank isgonna sell like absolutely like
wildfire.
So like I also see her as thecontender, but also I don't know
(07:03):
, because she doesn't reallyneed it at all.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But she didn't, but why not?
I mean, cm Punk won it, hedidn't need it, but he won it
twice.
Brock Lesnar won it, he didn'tneed it yeah so I mean people
who have won it before anddidn't need it.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So but, I mean go ahead, let's finish that but um,
yeah, so uh, I probably havenaomi winning, because I want
her to win and I think she'sgonna win, and yeah, that's what
I think is gonna happen happen.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, this is a tough one.
I mean, there's three veterans.
I'm not going to call the otherones rookies, because Stephanie
and Julia are far from rookies.
They're newcomers to WWE butboth of them have been wrestling
for a long time Julia in Japanand Stardom, and Stephanie
Stardom and AAA and pretty muchall over the world and AEW and
(08:04):
all that.
But I don't see Julia winningbecause it's like she's going
out there.
Ninth State Championship withSelena Vega.
Naomi I want Naomi to win, butI just don't know, with Jade and
(08:24):
Bianca out there right now,with them two out there, I want
Naomi to win.
That's who I want to win, but Ijust don't know if Jade and
Bianca are going to play a partin this, because there's no
rules in this match.
They could easily come outespecially what we saw on
SmackDown the other day, notknowing what they're going to do
(08:45):
.
Rhea obviously she's thefavorite in the match.
Alexa she just came back frombeing off for a year or two
years, almost.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Obviously she's a fan favorite.
She's been a fan from being offfor a year two years almost.
Yeah, um, obviously she's a fanfavorite.
It's been a fan favorite sinceday one.
Uh, but um, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I like Naomi to win, I mean her her character
development.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Especially with this new character, she has top tier,
you know, I mean her.
And I know we're not talkingabout it right now, but her and
Toni Storm are probably the twobest characters right now in
wrestling by far.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You know what I just noticed?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Wait has Alyssa.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Busser won the Money in the Bank.
I want to say yeah, I feel likeshe has.
I feel like she has.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I don't have to look it up and see.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I want to feel like she has, if she hasn't.
Nobody in this match has everhad the Money in the Bank
briefcase, so this would, ifAlexa Bliss hasn't won it.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, and that's very uncommon for Money in the Bank
matches.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
At least one person's won it.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
As opposed to the guys' match Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
But yeah, so yeah, but I still think Naomi's going,
but we're going to see yeah,I'm leaning toward Naomi too.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I just hope Bianca and Jay doesn't get involved.
I hope they get involvedafterwards, like when Naomi
tries to cash in and they getinvolved.
You know what I?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
mean yeah, but if they do that, I hope they don't
do the Drew McIntyre route, youknow, as they did last year.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, that's what I hope.
I'm hoping, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I also heard that the Money in the Bank prop Triple H
doesn't like it, so I thinkthat's why he threw it away last
year.
I've also heard that he doesn'treally like the money he
doesn't really like the money.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Oh, the actual briefcase yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
No, he doesn't like the prop of the Money Bank
briefcase.
I don't know why, but that'swhat do you?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
mean the prop.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Like just having the money of the briefcase as a
whole.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
How did he throw it away last year?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Like through McIntyre Remember.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
What did he do?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
He just cashed in and then Sam Punk ran him down.
But then I heard Triple Hdoesn't like the Money in the
Bank prop.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
So I don't know.
I mean we'll see.
I mean they're still using it.
I mean Tiffany had it.
What they have been doing iscustomizing it, though remember,
tiffany changed it to the pink.
Damien Priest changed to theJudgment Day colors seeing your
Money in the Bank.
So whoever wins, it seems likethey're going have.
(11:24):
I'm sure if naomi wins, it'sgonna be a precaution tape
around it, you know.
If rio wins it's gonna be.
You know, mommy in the bank,alexa wins it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
You know, fiend related type of stuff I don't
think anybody else will haveanything I'm sure the other ones
, if they win, but I don't seethat.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I don't see any of the newcomers winning it, unless
I mean stephanie could win ityeah, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I don't know if she customized the briefcase she
could.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
But I just don't see the new newcomers winning it,
just because they're they'rebrand new.
I mean, tiffany won it yeah butshe had been on the roster for
longer than a month or two.
You know she'd be on the rosterbut close to a year, at that
point in time.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
No, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Well, she's been a little bit, a little bit of time
, hasn't she before she?
She was there.
She was not just for a littlewhile, wasn't she?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
she was not jacks when she, when she won the money
in the bank she moved up to themain roster like right after
she lost right to betty lynchyeah or did she know?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
some around there, then she was not jack anyways.
So, yeah, I got Naomi winning.
Um, yeah, I got Naomi winningand I'm not sure who's gonna
cash in on, cuz I see I seeBianca and or Jade interfering
every time she tries to cash in,at least for right now, you
know.
But yeah, that's what I got forthat Naomi.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
She deserves that.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Mm-hmm, but for the next match on the card, it's
Cody Rose and Jey Uso againstJohn Cena and Logan Paul, and
for this one I don't know.
I feel like it could go eitherway, but considering that Jey
Uso has a championship match,what in like a Monday Night Raw
(13:11):
against Gunther, especiallysomeone the caliber of Gunther?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
See this Monday or next Monday, I can't remember.
But yeah it's pretty close yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
No, yeah, it's this Monday.
It's this Monday Because theytalked about it on SmackDown,
but yeah, so I don't see Jeylosing.
And I also don't see Codylosing, because I think he's
going to wrestle John Cena,maybe later in the year or at
SummerSlam In a one-on-one match, and Logan Paul I mean, I don't
(13:40):
even know what he's going to bedoing, because he could have a
three-line program and then justgo off somewhere else Because I
don't know.
But so I see Cody Rose and JeyUso winning and they're probably
not pinning John Cena yeah, Idon't.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
John Cena's not getting pinned in that match,
but here's the thing, though isCody?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
oh, I know what you're.
I already know what you'regoing to say.
Is Cody going to turn on Jey?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
because he's been looking at that belt for a
minute, you know.
I mean, is he done with cenaand gonna turn toward jay, maybe
?
Yeah I don't know, I don't know.
I mean, I don't know, maybe Idon't, but we'll see.
This is, this, is not I don'tknow.
Man, this this kind of gotthrown together kind of quick
right here, so I don't even knowwhat this one they haven't
really.
They're engaged a little bit,but they've been kind of
(14:28):
fighting with each other more sothan talking.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
And also I've heard people say that Logan Paul or
John Cena are going to turn oneach other.
But if John Cena turns it'sgoing to be like a babyface turn
and if Logan Paul turns it'sgoing to be a heel turn.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
So either way, they're not going to turn on
each other because they're bothheels, so they're not going to
turn on each other.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I mean, aren't Jay and Cody still though?
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
they're both.
They're both faces, but if oneof them turns they're going to
be heel.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
That's what I'm saying If Cody turns he's going
to be heel.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, because he's frustrated, but I don't know,
for the sake of John Cena beingheel, they're going to win.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Do you think so?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, I think Cena and Logan Paul's going to win.
Yeah, yeah, cena and Logan Paulis going to win, I think.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Uh-huh.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, keep the heat going on, cena.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, I have Cody and G, and for the next match on
the card is Solo Sokoa.
Well, first it's the man'smoney, the big match, and it
consists of Solo Sokoa, laKnight, penta, seth Rollins,
andrade and El Grande Americano.
So I feel like you couldeliminate some of the people in
(15:42):
this match.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Can you though?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
No offense, I don't think Andrade is going to win.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
He's a type of good winner though.
Yeah, he's the one that wouldwin.
Jorday is going to win.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
He's the type that could win, though.
Yeah, he's the one that wouldwin, Mm-hmm, I think.
But I don't think Solo's goingto win because I think Jacob's
going to run down costing thematch.
I don't think El Grande's goingto win.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
But Solo would be fun with it, though he would be
good with it, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, he would be a good winner, though is what I've
seen la night during la.
It'd be a good pop, but youdon't think so I was gonna be my
pick for a second I don't knowI was thinking.
I was thinking either la nightor seth rollins yeah, I'll go.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I'll tell you why in a minute, but go ahead, go ahead
here all right.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
So I don't think el grande is gonna win.
I don't think uh and's gonnawin.
I think it's between Solo LAKnight, seth Rollins and Penta.
So I might say LA Knightbecause it's in his hometown,
but I don't know.
Yeah, I'm gonna say LA Knight,la Knight.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Okay, so three letters late night, late night,
okay, so uh, three letters wait,no, what are you doing?
Three letters.
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
one person, otc uh and attacks Seth Rollins they've
been talking about him.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
He mentioned him by name and they and they've said
no, they've been saying nobodycan stop and.
They've said no, they've beensaying nobody can stop them.
They've said that multipletimes, nobody can stop them.
Seth Rollins has mentioned himby name multiple times.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Really he's not coming.
He's just not going to show up.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I mean, that is what Roman Reigns is going to do.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Exactly.
He's not going to show up, sethRollins is going to cash in,
seth Rollins is going to get theMoney in the Bank briefcase and
Roman Reigns is not going to doanything about it.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Mm-hmm.
Oh yeah, exactly, I mean,that's why I didn't pick Seth
Rollins.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
That's why I don't think.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I think Seth Rollins is going to Bronson, reed is
doing this.
They're gonna be in there, butso you think Roman Reigns is
gonna run down Bronson Reed andBraun Breaker?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
two spears uh, braun Breaker has a spear too yeah,
but if Roman Reigns kicks himoff guard, first barricade
anybody um, I don't know no.
Barricade Braun Breaker,barricade Braun Strowman.
Uh Braun, barry K Braun.
Breaker, barry K Braun.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Strowman.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Braun Ross and Reed.
Yeah, there you go, take bothof them out.
Paul Heyman doesn't knowanything about it.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
There you go, a chair here, a chair there Still got,
still got, still got, jimmy.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Mm-hmm and Sammy maybe.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
There you go, still got Sammy.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
So I'm going to say you said people would help, but
anyways, solo would be fun withit, but he still has Jacob to
worry about.
La Knight I don't know about, Idon't know.
Penta would be good with it.
Andrade would be good with it,I think, el Grande.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I think it would be funny if he was.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, but that would be too much of a comedy with him
.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Because there's no way to let him cash in.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Oh no, he would be run down.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Because who's going to cash in on?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
He would be run down immediately.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Exactly.
I hate to say it, but it wouldbe Otis 2.0.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Remember how Otis didn't even get cash in.
He lost the belt to Miz.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I don't even like that stipulation that you could
just lose the briefcase.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
He lost the briefcase to the Miz and the Miz cashed
in.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Did the Miz win?
Yeah, he did On Bobby Lashley.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
So El Grande should not win.
It's going to be somebody likethat 2.0, where you're just not
a good money in the bank.
Winner Andrade can win.
It can knock him up to the nextlevel.
Penta same way Solo.
He's already doing goodcharacter work already.
It's gonna knock him up.
Um Solo same way.
Um, who'd you pick?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
uh, I picked um uh LA Knight.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I don't really like him, like that dang but no one's
talking about LA.
I'm talking about what I wantto pick.
Solo is who I'm leaning towards.
It's because of the way it'slooking with the whole Jacob
stuff, but I think him and Jacobare going to feud.
The way it looks, they'releaning toward him and Jacob.
The way it looks at SummerSlam.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, and that feud shouldn't have the money to make
it.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
No, that's why I don't want to pick Solo, but he
would be great with the Money inthe Bank.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Oh yeah, definitely, but he would probably cash in on
Jacob.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
No.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
At least try to.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, but it looks like he's gonna like him and
Jacob are gonna feud atSummerSlam, so he can't pick him
, but he could and still feudJacob.
But I'm gonna go with a wildcard here, because Jacob is
gonna have Solo, seth is gonnahave.
Solo Seth is gonna be dealingwith Roman LA Knight.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
No it's in LA he didn't have.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, russ May was in LA too, he didn't have a match
so it's WWE, though we know howthey feel about hometown people.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
But, um, andrade, I'm going to go with Andrade
winning.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I'm going to go with Andrade winning um, I don't know
if I'm just imagining things,but I feel like you picked
Andrade to win the money to makebriefcase maybe I have.
I think you have I don't knowwhat year, but I think you've
already picked him to win.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
I might have picked him before, a couple years ago,
but I'm picking him again.
This time he's going to win.
So yeah, I'm going to draw youthis time.
He's going to win this time.
But yeah, that's what I got.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I'm going to draw you .
Yeah, but you predicted him towin one year.
I forgot.
I disagree with that.
I think LA Knight's going.
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Anything else you got Nope.
That being said, get ready towatch Rose Clyde, then Money in
Bank, I'm Ben.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I'm back.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Episode of Tag.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Team.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Talk.
Welcome to the Ben and Bash Podcast Tag Team Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I'm.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Ben, I'm Bash.
It's time to let's ship yourboots and hit them out with the
Ben and Bash Podcast Tag TeamTalk.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
All right, here we are for another one.
Today we're going to be doingthe predictions for money in the
bank, as usual, predictions whowe think are going to win,
storylines.
We might be talking about whothey're going to cash in on
potentially all that.
We're not going to be doing aWorlds Collide today mainly
(00:35):
because we haven't reallywatched a lot of AAA.
I watched a little bit of it,but we're not 100% familiar with
all the people from AAA, so wecan't really give you an honest
breakdown of the matches youknow to really get you good
predictions.
So we're just going to watch itand enjoy it like everybody
else is.
But yeah, let's get to it.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
All right, for the first match on the card, it's
Lyra Valkyrie versus Becky Lynch.
But there's a bunch ofstipulations on this match.
If Becky Lynch loses, she can'tchallenge for the belt anymore,
while Lyra has the belt.
And if Lyra loses she has toraise her hand and she has to
raise Becky's hand and admitthat Becky's a better wrestler,
(01:17):
or better female or women'swrestler.
Uh, but and this is for theIntercontinental Women's
Championship so for this one, Ithink Becky Lynch.
I think she would win, becauseI think the storyline is going
to go further than this, becauseI think also Bayley could come
(01:40):
out, which is the thing thatcould make Lyra win.
But I think Becky wins to keepthis feud going.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
That's what you got, is it?
You think Becky wins?
No, I'm halfway there with you.
I was there when you saidBayley, and then after that you
lost me.
So I think Bayley's going tocome out interfering in the
match, but I think she's goingto help Lara win.
Remember, becky is the one whoattacked Bayley.
(02:10):
That's what Becky said.
She attacked Bayley and thentook her spot at WrestleMania.
So we haven't seen Bayley sinceWrestleMania.
So this would be the perfecttime for Bayley to come back
interfering in the match andthen that would start and since
Becky can't challenge for thebelt anymore, that would start a
feud with Becky and Bayley andthat feud doesn't really need a
(02:34):
belt involved.
That's one of the matches thatjust has history where you don't
really need a belt to sell thatfeud and that can leave Lyra
open to.
Actually, becky doesn't need tobe in that title picture.
You can put other women in thattitle picture against Lyra.
(02:55):
There's a bunch of other womenin WWE that can be in the
Intercontinental Champion ormid-card, whatever you want to
call it.
Take Becky out of that.
Put her that can be in theIntercontinental Champion or
mid-card, whatever you want tocall it, you know.
You know.
Take Becky out of that, put heragainst Bayley, have them feud
for a little while.
I mean, summerslam is coming uphere soon.
That'd be something good forboth of them, since neither one
(03:17):
of them are going to be in theworld title picture right now.
So, yeah, I'm going to go withLyra winning with the help of
Bayley.
Becky can't challenge for theIntercontinental belt anymore as
long as Lyra has it.
That leaves Lyra open to goingagainst somebody else, another
female.
I'm not sure who that's goingto be, but it can be anybody,
(03:38):
because there's a bunch offemale wrestlers who need
opportunities.
There's a bunch of them on TV.
There's a bunch of them in WWEwho's not on TV right now, who
could be in that title picture.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
That's what the whole Intercontinental Women's
Championship was made for.
It wasn't made for Becky Lynch.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It was made for people like Lara and you know
then.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, I think they're giving the mid-card belts to
people who like need it Becausegiven the belt, the the mid-card
belts to people who like needit because, like zelina vega,
chelsea green and liar valkyria,with people who probably
weren't going to the main eventscene, just quite even, and even
with the people who'schallenged for the belt so far.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, um, with um meechin and people like that.
You know people like that whodon't really be on tv much.
They've even challenged for thebelt.
I mean, even even if they don'twin it, it's good to have
challengers and a storyline forthem.
You know which?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I think it's beef, that beef and challenge.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Exactly, I mean those off-topic, even with Julia.
That's giving her something todo.
We see that's going to be,that's going's, that's what
looks like it's going with me.
I'm gonna pick laura, like that, so she can go and have a few
with somebody else.
They can go ahead and have that, because I mean, what's the
(04:53):
point of becky attacking baileyif you're not gonna do anything
with that?
yeah, what's the point of it.
No point, if you're not gonnado it, I mean unless you.
Just I mean I don't know, let's, I don't know you.
If you're not going to do it, Imean unless you.
Just I mean I don't know, Idon't know.
If you're going to say youattack somebody, then go ahead
and do something with it, right,so why not?
(05:16):
So that should be an excuse forboth of them.
Like I said, have Lara,challenge somebody, somebody,
I'm not sure who, and then haveBecky and Bayley.
But yeah, that's all I got forthat.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yep, all right, that's all I have for that too.
Next match on the card it'sAlexa Bliss versus Roxanne Perez
versus Rhea Ripley versus Juliaversus Naomi versus Stephanie
Valkyr for Valkyr, for thewomen's money In the women's
money in the bank match, and forthis one it's really good
Because you can really see I canreally see, anyways Every
(05:55):
person in this match winning.
But yeah, and you can't reallysee that With some of the
matches, some of the money inthe bank matches From last year
any or any years.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Sometimes you can tell like, okay, one or two of
these women aren't winning.
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah, some of them.
You can't, you can, you canpretty much.
Just you can almost bet on likethey're not, they're not gonna
win this match or you could justsee one person winning and
nobody else or I'm gonna say, oryou start one or two people.
I already know they're notgoing to win this match.
I can already scratch them outsometimes.
This one I'll make it feel likeany one of these six women can
(06:30):
win.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
But I think the favorites are Alexa Bliss, rhea
Ripley and Naomi.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
The three veterans.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, I think that's who's probably gonna win if I
were to bet on this.
But cause Rhea Ripley.
If she wins, molly, the Bank isgonna sell like absolutely like
wildfire.
So like I also see her as thecontender, but also I don't know
(07:03):
, because she doesn't reallyneed it at all.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But she didn't, but why not?
I mean, cm Punk won it, hedidn't need it, but he won it
twice.
Brock Lesnar won it, he didn'tneed it yeah so I mean people
who have won it before anddidn't need it.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So but, I mean go ahead, let's finish that but um,
yeah, so uh, I probably havenaomi winning, because I want
her to win and I think she'sgonna win, and yeah, that's what
I think is gonna happen happen.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, this is a tough one.
I mean, there's three veterans.
I'm not going to call the otherones rookies, because Stephanie
and Julia are far from rookies.
They're newcomers to WWE butboth of them have been wrestling
for a long time Julia in Japanand Stardom, and Stephanie
Stardom and AAA and pretty muchall over the world and AEW and
(08:04):
all that.
But I don't see Julia winningbecause it's like she's going
out there.
Ninth State Championship withSelena Vega.
Naomi I want Naomi to win, butI just don't know, with Jade and
(08:24):
Bianca out there right now,with them two out there, I want
Naomi to win.
That's who I want to win, but Ijust don't know if Jade and
Bianca are going to play a partin this, because there's no
rules in this match.
They could easily come outespecially what we saw on
SmackDown the other day, notknowing what they're going to do
(08:45):
.
Rhea obviously she's thefavorite in the match.
Alexa she just came back frombeing off for a year or two
years, almost.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Obviously she's a fan favorite.
She's been a fan from being offfor a year two years almost.
Yeah, um, obviously she's a fanfavorite.
It's been a fan favorite sinceday one.
Uh, but um, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I like Naomi to win, I mean her her character
development.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Especially with this new character, she has top tier,
you know, I mean her.
And I know we're not talkingabout it right now, but her and
Toni Storm are probably the twobest characters right now in
wrestling by far.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You know what I just noticed?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Wait has Alyssa.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Busser won the Money in the Bank.
I want to say yeah, I feel likeshe has.
I feel like she has.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I don't have to look it up and see.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I want to feel like she has, if she hasn't.
Nobody in this match has everhad the Money in the Bank
briefcase, so this would, ifAlexa Bliss hasn't won it.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, and that's very uncommon for Money in the Bank
matches.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
At least one person's won it.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
As opposed to the guys' match Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
But yeah, so yeah, but I still think Naomi's going,
but we're going to see yeah,I'm leaning toward Naomi too.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I just hope Bianca and Jay doesn't get involved.
I hope they get involvedafterwards, like when Naomi
tries to cash in and they getinvolved.
You know what I?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
mean yeah, but if they do that, I hope they don't
do the Drew McIntyre route, youknow, as they did last year.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, that's what I hope.
I'm hoping, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I also heard that the Money in the Bank prop Triple H
doesn't like it, so I thinkthat's why he threw it away last
year.
I've also heard that he doesn'treally like the money he
doesn't really like the money.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Oh, the actual briefcase yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
No, he doesn't like the prop of the Money Bank
briefcase.
I don't know why, but that'swhat do you?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
mean the prop.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Like just having the money of the briefcase as a
whole.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
How did he throw it away last year?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Like through McIntyre Remember.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
What did he do?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
He just cashed in and then Sam Punk ran him down.
But then I heard Triple Hdoesn't like the Money in the
Bank prop.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
So I don't know.
I mean we'll see.
I mean they're still using it.
I mean Tiffany had it.
What they have been doing iscustomizing it, though remember,
tiffany changed it to the pink.
Damien Priest changed to theJudgment Day colors seeing your
Money in the Bank.
So whoever wins, it seems likethey're going have.
(11:24):
I'm sure if naomi wins, it'sgonna be a precaution tape
around it, you know.
If rio wins it's gonna be.
You know, mommy in the bank,alexa wins it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
You know, fiend related type of stuff I don't
think anybody else will haveanything I'm sure the other ones
, if they win, but I don't seethat.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I don't see any of the newcomers winning it, unless
I mean stephanie could win ityeah, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I don't know if she customized the briefcase she
could.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
But I just don't see the new newcomers winning it,
just because they're they'rebrand new.
I mean, tiffany won it yeah butshe had been on the roster for
longer than a month or two.
You know she'd be on the rosterbut close to a year, at that
point in time.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
No, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Well, she's been a little bit, a little bit of time
, hasn't she before she?
She was there.
She was not just for a littlewhile, wasn't she?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
she was not jacks when she, when she won the money
in the bank she moved up to themain roster like right after
she lost right to betty lynchyeah or did she know?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
some around there, then she was not jack anyways.
So, yeah, I got Naomi winning.
Um, yeah, I got Naomi winningand I'm not sure who's gonna
cash in on, cuz I see I seeBianca and or Jade interfering
every time she tries to cash in,at least for right now, you
know.
But yeah, that's what I got forthat Naomi.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
She deserves that.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Mm-hmm, but for the next match on the card, it's
Cody Rose and Jey Uso againstJohn Cena and Logan Paul, and
for this one I don't know.
I feel like it could go eitherway, but considering that Jey
Uso has a championship match,what in like a Monday Night Raw
(13:11):
against Gunther, especiallysomeone the caliber of Gunther?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
See this Monday or next Monday, I can't remember.
But yeah it's pretty close yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
No, yeah, it's this Monday.
It's this Monday Because theytalked about it on SmackDown,
but yeah, so I don't see Jeylosing.
And I also don't see Codylosing, because I think he's
going to wrestle John Cena,maybe later in the year or at
SummerSlam In a one-on-one match, and Logan Paul I mean, I don't
(13:40):
even know what he's going to bedoing, because he could have a
three-line program and then justgo off somewhere else Because I
don't know.
But so I see Cody Rose and JeyUso winning and they're probably
not pinning John Cena yeah, Idon't.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
John Cena's not getting pinned in that match,
but here's the thing, though isCody?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
oh, I know what you're.
I already know what you'regoing to say.
Is Cody going to turn on Jey?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
because he's been looking at that belt for a
minute, you know.
I mean, is he done with cenaand gonna turn toward jay, maybe
?
Yeah I don't know, I don't know.
I mean, I don't know, maybe Idon't, but we'll see.
This is, this, is not I don'tknow.
Man, this this kind of gotthrown together kind of quick
right here, so I don't even knowwhat this one they haven't
really.
They're engaged a little bit,but they've been kind of
(14:28):
fighting with each other more sothan talking.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
And also I've heard people say that Logan Paul or
John Cena are going to turn oneach other.
But if John Cena turns it'sgoing to be like a babyface turn
and if Logan Paul turns it'sgoing to be a heel turn.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
So either way, they're not going to turn on
each other because they're bothheels, so they're not going to
turn on each other.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I mean, aren't Jay and Cody still though?
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
they're both.
They're both faces, but if oneof them turns they're going to
be heel.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
That's what I'm saying If Cody turns he's going
to be heel.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, because he's frustrated, but I don't know,
for the sake of John Cena beingheel, they're going to win.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Do you think so?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, I think Cena and Logan Paul's going to win.
Yeah, yeah, cena and Logan Paulis going to win, I think.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Uh-huh.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, keep the heat going on, cena.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, I have Cody and G, and for the next match on
the card is Solo Sokoa.
Well, first it's the man'smoney, the big match, and it
consists of Solo Sokoa, laKnight, penta, seth Rollins,
andrade and El Grande Americano.
So I feel like you couldeliminate some of the people in
(15:42):
this match.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Can you though?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
No offense, I don't think Andrade is going to win.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
He's a type of good winner though.
Yeah, he's the one that wouldwin.
Jorday is going to win.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
He's the type that could win, though.
Yeah, he's the one that wouldwin, Mm-hmm, I think.
But I don't think Solo's goingto win because I think Jacob's
going to run down costing thematch.
I don't think El Grande's goingto win.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
But Solo would be fun with it, though he would be
good with it, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, he would be a good winner, though is what I've
seen la night during la.
It'd be a good pop, but youdon't think so I was gonna be my
pick for a second I don't knowI was thinking.
I was thinking either la nightor seth rollins yeah, I'll go.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I'll tell you why in a minute, but go ahead, go ahead
here all right.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
So I don't think el grande is gonna win.
I don't think uh and's gonnawin.
I think it's between Solo LAKnight, seth Rollins and Penta.
So I might say LA Knightbecause it's in his hometown,
but I don't know.
Yeah, I'm gonna say LA Knight,la Knight.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Okay, so three letters late night, late night,
okay, so uh, three letters wait,no, what are you doing?
Three letters.
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
one person, otc uh and attacks Seth Rollins they've
been talking about him.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
He mentioned him by name and they and they've said
no, they've been saying nobodycan stop and.
They've said no, they've beensaying nobody can stop them.
They've said that multipletimes, nobody can stop them.
Seth Rollins has mentioned himby name multiple times.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Really he's not coming.
He's just not going to show up.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I mean, that is what Roman Reigns is going to do.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Exactly.
He's not going to show up, sethRollins is going to cash in,
seth Rollins is going to get theMoney in the Bank briefcase and
Roman Reigns is not going to doanything about it.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Mm-hmm.
Oh yeah, exactly, I mean,that's why I didn't pick Seth
Rollins.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
That's why I don't think.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I think Seth Rollins is going to Bronson, reed is
doing this.
They're gonna be in there, butso you think Roman Reigns is
gonna run down Bronson Reed andBraun Breaker?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
two spears uh, braun Breaker has a spear too yeah,
but if Roman Reigns kicks himoff guard, first barricade
anybody um, I don't know no.
Barricade Braun Breaker,barricade Braun Strowman.
Uh Braun, barry K Braun.
Breaker, barry K Braun.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Strowman.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Braun Ross and Reed.
Yeah, there you go, take bothof them out.
Paul Heyman doesn't knowanything about it.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
There you go, a chair here, a chair there Still got,
still got, still got, jimmy.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Mm-hmm and Sammy maybe.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
There you go, still got Sammy.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
So I'm going to say you said people would help, but
anyways, solo would be fun withit, but he still has Jacob to
worry about.
La Knight I don't know about, Idon't know.
Penta would be good with it.
Andrade would be good with it,I think, el Grande.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I think it would be funny if he was.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, but that would be too much of a comedy with him
.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Because there's no way to let him cash in.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Oh no, he would be run down.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Because who's going to cash in on?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
He would be run down immediately.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Exactly.
I hate to say it, but it wouldbe Otis 2.0.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Remember how Otis didn't even get cash in.
He lost the belt to Miz.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I don't even like that stipulation that you could
just lose the briefcase.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
He lost the briefcase to the Miz and the Miz cashed
in.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Did the Miz win?
Yeah, he did On Bobby Lashley.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
So El Grande should not win.
It's going to be somebody likethat 2.0, where you're just not
a good money in the bank.
Winner Andrade can win.
It can knock him up to the nextlevel.
Penta same way Solo.
He's already doing goodcharacter work already.
It's gonna knock him up.
Um Solo same way.
Um, who'd you pick?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
uh, I picked um uh LA Knight.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I don't really like him, like that dang but no one's
talking about LA.
I'm talking about what I wantto pick.
Solo is who I'm leaning towards.
It's because of the way it'slooking with the whole Jacob
stuff, but I think him and Jacobare going to feud.
The way it looks, they'releaning toward him and Jacob.
The way it looks at SummerSlam.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, and that feud shouldn't have the money to make
it.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
No, that's why I don't want to pick Solo, but he
would be great with the Money inthe Bank.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Oh yeah, definitely, but he would probably cash in on
Jacob.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
No.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
At least try to.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, but it looks like he's gonna like him and
Jacob are gonna feud atSummerSlam, so he can't pick him
, but he could and still feudJacob.
But I'm gonna go with a wildcard here, because Jacob is
gonna have Solo, seth is gonnahave.
Solo Seth is gonna be dealingwith Roman LA Knight.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
No it's in LA he didn't have.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, russ May was in LA too, he didn't have a match
so it's WWE, though we know howthey feel about hometown people.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
But, um, andrade, I'm going to go with Andrade
winning.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I'm going to go with Andrade winning um, I don't know
if I'm just imagining things,but I feel like you picked
Andrade to win the money to makebriefcase maybe I have.
I think you have I don't knowwhat year, but I think you've
already picked him to win.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
I might have picked him before, a couple years ago,
but I'm picking him again.
This time he's going to win.
So yeah, I'm going to draw youthis time.
He's going to win this time.
But yeah, that's what I got.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I'm going to draw you .
Yeah, but you predicted him towin one year.
I forgot.
I disagree with that.
I think LA Knight's going.
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Anything else you got Nope.
That being said, get ready towatch Rose Clyde, then Money in
Bank, I'm Ben.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I'm back.

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
