Welcome to the Ben and Bash podcast tag.
Team talks.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm Ben.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I'm Bash.
It's time to lace up your bootsand hit them out with the Ben
and Bash podcast tag.
Team talks.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
All right, another episode.
Today we are going to doprediction for the money in the
bank.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
For the money in the bank.
For the first match we haveBraun Breaker versus Sami Zayn
for the WWE IntercontinentalChampionship.
Now for this match, the feudwasn't like great leading up to
it and I thought it was going tobe like a fatal four-way to see
(00:46):
who fights sammy zane, likewith braun breaker, louis kaiser
, seamus and maybe ilia dragon,but it was just.
It was just braun breaker up tohave one if wanting a match,
and Sami Zayn accepting it.
But I feel like Sami Zayn isthe good guy in this.
(01:09):
He's in his hometown, nothometown home country.
Home country and I just don'tsee Braun Breaker winning this.
Realistically, like if itwasn't Sami Zayn's hometown, I
would probably see Braun breakon this, but I don't think the
WWE would let Sami Zayn lose inhis hometown he did when he
(01:34):
wrestled Roman Reigns but hewasn't the champion and it was
Roman Reigns that was hishometown.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
That was actually where he was born it was Roman
Reigns yeah, but that was in hishometown, like literally in the
same area where he grew up at.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
But it was Roman Reigns.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I'm just saying They'll let you lose your
hometown.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
They had to stretch his title right now.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I know, but I'm saying this they will let you
lose.
You will lose in your hometown.
It's not a given to win justbecause you're in your own town
or home country.
To win just because you're inyour own town or home country.
Look at Drew McIntyre.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, but all those people you're talking about
didn't have the titles.
I understand.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
But still Still happens though.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Sami Zayn's walking in as the champion.
I don't think that he wouldlose his championship in his
hometown.
Home country, home country Likedays after he had a comedy show
not saying you, not saying hewon't, but it can happen.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Bron Breaker could beat him.
I mean look at the way BronBreaker's been, look what he's
been doing.
He's literally been runningroughshod over the entire Raw
brand.
I mean he's been spearingeverybody, destroying everybody.
I mean just look what he did toeverybody.
I mean Kaiser got broken ribs.
When was the last time you seeEli Dragunov on TV wrestling?
(02:49):
I mean, just think about it.
I mean he's been destroyingpeople.
Ricochet he's gone.
I mean just look at those guyshe's been destroying over the
last few weeks.
You know, were you done withyour prediction on that one?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Mm-hmm, I mean, do you think Bonebreaker's going to
win?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I prediction on that one.
I mean, do you think BraunBreaker's going to win?
I don't know, that's the thingI think Sami's going to retain,
but it's going to be becausehe's just a veteran over Braun
Breaker.
Braun Breaker is going to be agreat star.
He's going to be a goodwrestler.
He's going to be the main event, probably in the next two years
.
He's going to be the main event.
He's going to be probably nexttwo years.
(03:27):
He's gonna be main event.
He's gonna be main event in theples.
But right now, I mean no,obviously everybody knows braun
breaker's background, being oneof the steiners rick steiner's
son, scott steiner's nephew uh,I mean, just that right there
alone helps him just having thatkind of mentorship, helping you
know questions to be asked andall that.
But I think Sami is going touse his veteran intuition and
just some kind of way to pull itout.
(03:50):
Sami Zayn is always in matcheswhere people say he can't win
and he finds a way to win, andthis time I don't think it's
going to be any different.
I think Sami is going to pullthis one out as well and retain
the Aaron Connelly Championship.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
For the next match on the card.
It is the WWE HeavyweightChampionship match, which it's
Damian Priest versus SethRollins, and I think Seth
Rollins is going to win, becauseWWE they could have waited for
(04:24):
him to return, but since theygot him here so early, like so
quick, I feel like they're goingto put the title back on him
and I think, since he has anopportunity, I'm pretty sure
Seth Rollins is going to win.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Maybe I think Damian Priest is going to retain.
We got to think about thestipulations too.
Remember the stipulations werefor the match.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah, damian Priest leaves, going to retain.
We got to think aboutstipulations too.
Remember what stipulations werefor the match.
Yeah, damian Priest leaves theJudgment Day and Seth Rollins,
if he doesn't win, he won't beable to face Damian Priest for
the World HeavyweightChampionship.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
He can't challenge for the championship as long as
Damian Priest is the championand Damian Priest has to leave
Judgment Day.
That's two and see so that oneI can see Seth Rollins not
challenging before I can seeDamian Priest leaving the
Judgment Day.
If he leaves the Judgment Day,I think it's going to be on his
own accord, not because ofstipulation and match.
(05:15):
If Damian Priest leaves, it'sgoing to be because he doesn't.
It's already been hints ofstuff going on with Judgment Day
, the whole Ripley being goneand Lil' Morgan coming in and
everybody kind of like Lil'Morgan, except for Damian Priest
, her helping them get the tagteam championships.
Dominic lied to him and saidthat he talked to Rhea and he
(05:38):
hadn't.
Did Damian say he did talk toher and she was mad.
Plus then the Finn Balor whenhe was attacking.
Who was he attacking?
I forgot who he was attackingthe other day and Damian Priest
pulled him off and said SethRollins.
Seth Rollins, yeah so yeah,stuff like that is going to have
Damian Priest leave on his own,not because he loses Seth
Rollins.
So I think that Dam Priest isgoing to retain for a little bit
(06:01):
longer.
This gives Seth Rollins achance to go after something
else, maybe an incontinentchampionship, maybe just a feud
with somebody else.
This gives him open to dosomething else if he wants to,
besides being an reinventpitcher.
If he loses the match, he can'tchallenge it for his
(06:22):
championship anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Wait, can I add on?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So remember, gunther has an opportunity at the World
Heavyweight Championship.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
At SummerSlam.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Now Gunther is a heel and like they did a heel versus
heel in Drew McIntyre but thatwas in his hometown, so he was
technically the good guy in thatsituation and in this case.
But if Damian Priest walks into SummerSlam up against Gunther
(07:02):
, it will be just a plain heelversus heel, which is a very
rare thing.
I feel like if you're going tohave Gunther win the World
Heavyweight Championship which Ithink that's what they're going
to do I feel like there has tobe a babyface walking in the
World Heavyweight Championshipinstead of a heel?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Do you have to have a babyface?
I mean you don't have to have.
I mean, yeah, maybe years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
But like Gunther, I feel like it would be better for
him to win off of a babyfaceinstead of a heel.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
That match is going to be a good match.
I mean, yes, it's better whenyou have a face versus a heel.
Yes, it's obviously betterbecause you have two different
dynamics, but when you have twoheels or two faces wrestling
each other, it's still a goodmatch.
It can still be a good matchjust because the match is a good
match.
That's just how it is sometimes.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
But normally in that case the feud isn't all that
Like what two heels.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
But even then two heels can still fight each other
.
That makes for a better matchtoo, because then you know that
there may be some trickery, sometomfoolery going on, some
cheating going on.
If you know two heels arewrestling, if you know it's a
face versus a heel, then youknow the face isn't going to
cheat to win.
So you know he's going to tryto win.
So you know he's going to tryto win straight up and down, and
sometimes that hurts him a lotof times.
(08:18):
So I don't think SummerSlam isthe type of live event where I
don't think it really matters iftheir heels or faces.
If the matches are good, it'sone of the big four PLE events.
You know, Okay.
(08:38):
So who'd you pick for that?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I picked Seth Rollins .
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I picked Damian Priest, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
For the Women's Money at the Bank match.
It's Io versus Chelsea Greenversus LaVa Curia versus Tiffany
Stratton versus Naomi versusZoe Stark, and for this match I
have Chelsea Green and I feellike if she wins, I think she's
(09:07):
going to win and when she wins,I think she's going to hold it
like Carmella did for like280-something days, I think you
got a full year.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
You got to the next money in the bank to cash it in.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, wait, I have a question.
Could you cash in at the moneyin the bank?
Pay-per-view.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yes, people have done it before.
Yes, but there's no womenmatches on the thing, so there's
no way to cash in.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I mean now the men.
When we get down to that, theycould cash in tonight because
you have Cody Rhodes and youhave the heavyweight
championship match.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
But those two matches would have to be after that.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, it could be.
Who knows, the men may start itoff.
Who knows how it's going to go?
We don't know how the matchcard is going to go.
It could start off any kind ofway it could.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
If the men's match starts off money in the bank,
then you may see a cash in.
Not saying it will, but ithappened when.
Who was it?
Le'veon Morgan, Not Le'VeonMorgan.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Brooke, no, alexa Bliss.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
She did it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, and Nicky A no, she didn't.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
No, she did it later on, like Alexa Bliss.
She won and then cashed in thesame night.
Like literally the same night.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh Kane did it too.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah, but that's About years ago.
That's not recently though, butyeah so.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Who do you have?
Who'd?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
you pick.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I just picked Chelsea Green.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
That's right.
He said he's gonna have it foralmost a year yeah, close to, if
not a year she might cash.
Well, you gotta cash in beforenext money in the bank.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
So you have, I thought you said you could cash
in at that money in the bank.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
No, you can cash in at this money in the bank, but
not the next money in the bankoh now.
I'm talking about the same.
I'm talking about the money inthe bank at got till the next
one to do it.
Okay, so no, you got one yearto cash in before you can't cash
in using.
Pretty much everybody hascashed in where they won or lost
it, except for Otis when helost to the Miz and didn't get
(11:06):
to cash in at all.
But anyways, um, I don't know.
This is a hard one for mebecause I mean you can pretty
much say any of these womendeserve to be the money in the
bank.
I mean, all of them have put inwork.
Eo Sky won it last year.
Can she double up?
I mean Chelsea Green she's beendoing some great work behind
(11:28):
the scenes I mean not behind thescenes but backstage and stuff
like that.
Lyra Icaria she's came up in ashort time.
She's been showing how good ofa wrestler she is.
Tiffany Stratton same way Shorttime already feuding with
Bianca and Naomi and JadeCargill and all them.
Then you got Naomi, who speaksfor herself.
(11:49):
She's done it all.
She's been champion already.
Then you got Zoe Stark, who's agreat wrestler as well.
Doesn't get the recognition asmuch because of so many other
women who's a great wrestler aswell, doesn't get the
recognition as much becausethere's so many other women.
But I'm going to go.
I'm going to say TiffanyStratton, yeah, I'm just going
(12:10):
to say Tiffany Stratton, she canhold it for a little while.
May cash in at SummerSlamSurvivor Series.
Who knows, she can cash inanytime.
But yeah, I'm going to say,give it to Tiffany Stratton.
Tiffany Stratton is going towin the Money in the Bank ladder
match for the women.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
For the next match on the card, the six-man tag team
match, which is Cody Rose, randyOrton and Kevin Owens versus
the Bloodline 2.0.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
And I think the Bloodline 2.0 is going to win
Because I feel like we don'tknow who's going to be in there
for the Bloodline.
Be honest, it's four of them.
It's three on three.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
We don't know who three is going to be in there.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I mean Jacob Partu was on it and Tomatongo was like
super little.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
And Mitch Norman, and last last week it was the
opposite.
So I don't know.
I mean I don't know how I meanit can change.
I mean it can change day of.
I mean it's four of them.
All you need is three.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
There's going to be one outside the ring, obviously,
unless they're really going tosell it, that they can't cross
over the board?
They're really going to sellthat idea.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Tom DeLore can't cross over.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That Longolo can't cross over, yeah, and that would
make more sense if he reallycan't cross over, and then it
would just be three on three orthree v three.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I mean, unless they're just not going to sell
it.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know, but I feel likeif the blue line.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
This is a make or break for them, because if they
don't win this, then all thestuff with Paul Heyman is just
going to get, because that's howthey became serious and to be
serious you have to win matches.
So I feel like the Bloodline2.0 is going to beat Cody, randy
and Kevin.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, yeah.
As much as I hate to say it, Ikind of have to agree with you.
I think the Bloodline is goingto win this match too.
I mean Kevin Owens, if youwatch Friday Night Smackdown he
has a lot going on with his momand personal outside of
wrestling, that's.
You know that can interfereyour matches.
I mean, he may not even be theright friend of mine who knows
Randy I mean he's alwaysconsistent, you know.
(14:10):
But does he have his eye onCody Rhodes?
Is he going to be distracted alittle bit in this match?
And Cody Rhodes being the worldchampion, undisputed world
champion, I mean, if the men'smatches before this match, he's
going to have to watch outbecause they can cash in anytime
he wants to.
So I think the team of Randy,cody and Kevin, I think they're
(14:35):
going to be a lot moredistracted than the bloodline.
The bloodline know what they'redoing.
They're trying to get to acertain point.
They're trying to prove theyare the bloodline.
Forget about the old bloodline,they are the new bloodline.
Bring in Jacob Fatu.
Bring in Tama Tonga, tonga Loa.
He's still got Solo.
(14:55):
Obviously, we know Roman Reignsis going to come back eventually
.
We know Jimmy's coming backeventually, but that's just two.
I mean, is Jay going to joinback with his brother?
Are they going to bring afourth member in, a new guy, a
new Bloodline member?
I don't know.
I mean, that's what we got tofind out, but for right now,
this Bloodline has beendominating.
Since they started, I mean,they've been winning matches,
(15:19):
you know.
Then look at what Solo said theother day about Roman Reigns not
being able to provide for thefamily by not winning and not
retaining the belt.
He has to do it.
So I mean, I think theBloodline has a lot more to lose
in this match.
Cody's still champion at theend of the day.
Randy Orton's still going to beRandy Orton.
Kevin Owens is going to beKevin Owens.
(15:39):
If they lose this match,bloodline, they lose this match,
like everything they said forthe past few weeks.
So what you haven't won, youcan't win.
You powerbombed Paul Heymanthrough a table.
Paul Heyman's not a wrestler.
What can you do in thewrestling ring?
They have to win this match inorder for them to stay relevant,
(16:02):
I think for the man's money inthe bank match.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
At first.
This is probably going tosurprise you, but at first I
said Jey Uso.
But I'm going to switch myanswer.
I'm going with Carmelo Hayesand I feel like, yeah, like he
hasn't had that much time, butlike he's a phenomenal wrestler
(16:35):
Down at NXT he has had amazingmatches.
He's a great heel and like,look at the playing field, like
Chad Gable, he could, like theWyatt Six is probably going to
get involved, la Knight, loganPaul could get involved and Drew
McIntyre, cm Punk could getinvolved.
So that really only leaves Jay,carmelo Hayes and Andrade for
(17:00):
chances of winning, if you thinkabout it.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
But then Andrade got rid of the Gallant Phantasma.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
So you really only got two?
Yeah, I mean, if you break itdown like that, it's still.
Like I told you before, jay didtake the Firefly, so, who knows
, he could be targeted next bythe Y6 hey, so that leaves my
option.
I mean, so Carmelo Hayes isreally the only one who doesn't
have really anybody.
I mean, he's he's roughed a lotof people the wrong way because
he came in being the new younggunner and you know talking all
(17:33):
this smack about people and allthat, but as far as fuse, he
don't really have any fuse rightnow, so he has nobody to really
have to worry about coming intothe match.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You just proved my point for me.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Is that what you picked for me, ladies?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm Wait hold on, okay,jey Uso.
I mean, if they really wantedto build up this feud a little
bit, they could have the blow onAttack, jey Uso.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
They could, they could.
Before the match it's just anoption they could.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
But that's why I picked Carmelo Hayes, because,
yeah, he's in a feud with LAKnight, but LA Knight's in the
match, so there's nothing reallythere.
So there's nothing really thereand Carmelo Hayes and Logan
Paul not like friends, but likethere's no reason why they would
(18:27):
attack each other.
So I feel like Carmelo Hayes isthe only open option.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
So what's your pick?
I don't know.
I want to say J, it just feelslike it's too obvious.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
He was on the poster holding the briefcase.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I want to pick J Uso, but I just don't.
I don't know.
I really want to put it on ChadGable just because he's done a
lot of stuff this year.
I mean, look at what he didwith Alpha Academy and then the
togetherness.
Then they broke up and then nowhe has a Y6 out.
Through him you can have awhole other thing with him
(19:09):
having the money in the bank andhaving to worry about the Y6.
So he tries to think about ChadGable winning some money in the
bank.
He tries to think about ChadGable wins the money in the bank
.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
He tries to cash in while six comes out and he can't
cash in now because he has torun away from him.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I mean, that writes itself right there.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I mean, then you got Drew McIntyre.
He's not going to win at all.
Zero percent chance of winning,because CM Punk is not going to
let him win.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
But CM Punk's injured you think.
Cm Punk's going to walk outthere with a broken arm and
still prevent.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
How do you know, he broke his arm.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I'm just saying like he has to be somewhat injured.
The man was bleeding all overhis body.
That was like three weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Still, he can be healed from that in three weeks.
All I'm saying is Drew McIntyre, I don't think, has any chance
at all to win.
I mean, the way CM Punk hasbeen after him, I don't see him
letting him win that again.
La Knight, like I said, I thinkhe should win it but, like I
said, him and Logan Paul beenfeuding.
Where's Logan Paul at?
(20:11):
He has to make an appearance, Ithink so.
I'm gonna go with the wild horse, crazy answer.
I'm going to go with Andrade.
Going to go with Andrade.
I mean, he is probably one ofthe better wrestlers in the
world.
I just hope they actually lethim showcase that, because he
(20:34):
hadn't really been able toreally show what he can do since
NXT.
I mean, nxt he was a champ andyou know.
And then Triple H, when he wasrunning it, let him do his thing
and let him become, you knowAndrade, the way people knew him
from Mexico and when he was inyou know Lucha.
So, but yeah, see, ice came tomain roster wasn't as good.
(20:55):
He left, went to AEW.
People who watch AEW know thathe didn't do much there either.
Left came back to WWE.
Now he's kind of getting alittle push now.
I just hope that, since TripleH is in charge now over the main
roster, maybe he'll let Andradekind of do what he was doing at
NXT.
Just let him be Andrade ElIdolo, you know.
(21:19):
So that's who I got winning theMen's Money in the Bank ladder
match.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Andrade.
Now now Jay holding thebriefcase on the poster, like I
really like.
I really think Jay's gonna win.
But I like Carmelo Hay hayesand I want him to win.
(21:41):
But if you're holding thebriefcase and you're in the
match there's a couple ofposters that people are holding
the briefcase but they're not inthe match.
But if you're in the match andyou're holding the briefcase,
that normally means except forkofi Kingston that normally
means that you're going to winthe match.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, I get it.
I mean it's just too obviousthough.
It's almost like hey, here'sJ-Ho in a briefcase.
It's like I just don't.
(22:20):
I mean I think I want him towin because the way the crowd
has been reacting to him sincehe broke off from.
I mean, if you had told me fiveyears ago that Jey Uso would be
a main event wrestler, Iwouldn't have believed you,
because he was always in the tagteam.
He was never by himself.
Him and Jimmy Uso have neverbeen a singles match.
Since they came to WWE when itwas FCW and then they came to
the main roster with Tamina,they have never not been a tag
team.
So this is the first time theywere actually able to break off
and Jimmy so far has been ableto capitalize on it.
And then we'll see what Jimmydoes.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Jimmy hasn't been able to capitalize.
He's injured.
Well, I mean, that's the same.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
But he was still under Roman Reigns.
When Jay broke off and went toRaw, jimmy was still under Roman
Reigns, getting beat up andgetting talked too bad, so he
was never able to reallycapitalize on it.
Then he was interfering withthe match, with Jay's match.
It cost him a worldchampionship, cost him the Aaron
Connolly championship againstGunther, I mean.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Cost him the well.
He just technically cost himthe tag titles, when he had the
tag titles Exactly.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And then he wrestled at WrestleMania and Jay beat him
in a lackluster match, butstill he beat him, you know, but
at the end of the day, jayhasn't been able to capitalize.
look, he's in the men's mainmatch right now he has the crowd
going hype every time he comesout still has probably one of
the best entrants out right now,bar none, you know.
(23:34):
Still probably the best matchout, the best entrance out there
right now.
So, like I said, I think a lotof people are rooting for jay,
like I'm rooting for jay I justdon't see, I don't think he's
gonna win.
I just don't think he's gonnawin.
I think it's gonna be somebodyelse.
I mean, in perfect world I wantto see chad gig will get it so
he can have more wide sixinteractions, because that's
that's money right now, just theway he looks when they come out
(23:56):
.
La Knight obviously is a goodchoice too, because people love
him as well, but then Logan Pauland him and Logan Paul's going
at it.
Him and Logan Paul haven't hada match for the United States
Championship yet, but LAKnight's been going for that.
I guess he could have the moneyin the bank and have a match
for the United StatesChampionship, but I think that's
(24:17):
the belt he wants to win next,I believe, and then he may get a
chance later on.
But yeah, I have Andrade.
I think I got Andrade for thatone.
Anything else you want to add?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I mean not really, but, um, a part of me really
thinks that, like, I feel likelike there's no way, it's not,
it's gonna happen because, like,um, the one person this match
was not gonna win definitelydrew mcintyre.
(24:55):
But I really want, really wanthim to win, but it's just not
happening.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah, I mean you could have him win, and every
time you try to cash in, CM Punkinterferes.
But he's going to wineventually.
Cm Punk can't be there all thetime.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Unless CM Punk steals the briefcase.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Could.
But that's why I say CM Punk'sgoing to interfere in the match
anyways and stop him fromwinning anyways.
Yeah, I mean the last time wesaw CM Punk he was getting
carried away in Chicago.
He ain't gonna take that linedown, he's gonna come back at
him.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
How do you know he's not hurt?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Well, he might be hurt, but that don't mean he's
not Drew McIntyre.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
He was fake hurt.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
He was probably still hurt a little bit.
He still had a cast on his arm.
He could still be hurt and notbe able to wrestle.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Sebastian, he yanked the dude off the table.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I understand that but you can still be hurt and look
good but still can't wrestle.
That's why CM Punk can'twrestle.
He may be cleared but he justcan't.
He's still got to get back inshape and wrestle.
So him, him and Drew McIntyreare going to go at SummerSlam.
(26:02):
Unless CM Punk is hurt worsethan they're saying, I think
that they're going to wrestle atSummerSlam.
I think I told you when wewatched SmackDown yesterday,
drew McIntyre was holding hisankle and he got thrown out the
ring.
I don't know if that was justlanded wrong on it or something
more serious, but I guess we'llsee when the match comes on if
he's limping or they saysomething about it.
But he was holding his anklepretty hard, like he was sitting
(26:26):
on the ground for a littlelonger than he usually does.
But we'll see how it goes whenthe match comes up tonight.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I don't think it's anything serious.
I hope it's not.
I mean it didn't look likeanything serious.
I hope it's not.
I mean it didn't look likeanything serious.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
He's just clutching his ankle a little bit.
Yeah, sometimes it can be asprained ankle, sometimes a
sprained ankle.
You haven't had one yet.
I don't think no.
I've had one, it was brief, yeah, that's what I'm saying A real
sprained ankle.
The more you play sports youget a sprained ankle.
It hurts a little bit thatfirst day, but that second day
is when it hurts the worstbecause it swells up a little
bit.
You can't walk on it hardly.
That's today.
(27:02):
If Drew McIntyre did actuallysprain his ankle yesterday, then
today it's going to be killinghim.
Just based on what you know,just based on experience I've
had with stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
That's even more reason.
I mean, I don't think he'sreally that hurt, but that's
even more reason why DrewMcIntyre's not winning.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Exactly so we'll see how that goes.
But yeah, I got Andrade, yougot who now?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I have Carmelo Hayes.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
All right, so we'll see who wins that match.
Anything else?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Mm-hmm, I would know.
Yeah, I guess, but like I don'tknow, I'm good, anything else
you good.
I was gonna say something.
I mean, for some reason, themoney in the bank match.
I feel like we're both gonna bewrong we may be.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I mean, there's how many people in the match?
One, two, six people in thematch, only one can win.
So you know, if six people pickall six in there, only one of
them will win.
So yeah, we could be wrong orone of us could be right.
I mean, that's just how.
That's how the odds work.
You know, if it was one-on-oneand I picked one, you picked the
other, then one of us wouldhave to be right.
(28:07):
But it's six people in thematch.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
So we we pick two out of six.
So we got two out of six chance.
It's a one third chance 33, andone third chance is what Scott
Stern said right.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah, I mean, I've never heard him say it, but I've
like seen people referencing ityeah.
All right, are you done?
I'm done.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
You done, I'm done, you done.
Mhm, alright, this has been theepisode I'm Ben, I'm Bash and
this has been.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Tag Team Talk.
Welcome to the Ben and Bash podcast tag.
Team talks.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm Ben.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I'm Bash.
It's time to lace up your bootsand hit them out with the Ben
and Bash podcast tag.
Team talks.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
All right, another episode.
Today we are going to doprediction for the money in the
bank.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
For the money in the bank.
For the first match we haveBraun Breaker versus Sami Zayn
for the WWE IntercontinentalChampionship.
Now for this match, the feudwasn't like great leading up to
it and I thought it was going tobe like a fatal four-way to see
(00:46):
who fights sammy zane, likewith braun breaker, louis kaiser
, seamus and maybe ilia dragon,but it was just.
It was just braun breaker up tohave one if wanting a match,
and Sami Zayn accepting it.
But I feel like Sami Zayn isthe good guy in this.
(01:09):
He's in his hometown, nothometown home country.
Home country and I just don'tsee Braun Breaker winning this.
Realistically, like if itwasn't Sami Zayn's hometown, I
would probably see Braun breakon this, but I don't think the
WWE would let Sami Zayn lose inhis hometown he did when he
(01:34):
wrestled Roman Reigns but hewasn't the champion and it was
Roman Reigns that was hishometown.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
That was actually where he was born it was Roman
Reigns yeah, but that was in hishometown, like literally in the
same area where he grew up at.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
But it was Roman Reigns.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I'm just saying They'll let you lose your
hometown.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
They had to stretch his title right now.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I know, but I'm saying this they will let you
lose.
You will lose in your hometown.
It's not a given to win justbecause you're in your own town
or home country.
To win just because you're inyour own town or home country.
Look at Drew McIntyre.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, but all those people you're talking about
didn't have the titles.
I understand.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
But still Still happens though.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Sami Zayn's walking in as the champion.
I don't think that he wouldlose his championship in his
hometown.
Home country, home country Likedays after he had a comedy show
not saying you, not saying hewon't, but it can happen.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Bron Breaker could beat him.
I mean look at the way BronBreaker's been, look what he's
been doing.
He's literally been runningroughshod over the entire Raw
brand.
I mean he's been spearingeverybody, destroying everybody.
I mean just look what he did toeverybody.
I mean Kaiser got broken ribs.
When was the last time you seeEli Dragunov on TV wrestling?
(02:49):
I mean, just think about it.
I mean he's been destroyingpeople.
Ricochet he's gone.
I mean just look at those guyshe's been destroying over the
last few weeks.
You know, were you done withyour prediction on that one?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Mm-hmm, I mean, do you think Bonebreaker's going to
win?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I prediction on that one.
I mean, do you think BraunBreaker's going to win?
I don't know, that's the thingI think Sami's going to retain,
but it's going to be becausehe's just a veteran over Braun
Breaker.
Braun Breaker is going to be agreat star.
He's going to be a goodwrestler.
He's going to be the main event, probably in the next two years
.
He's going to be the main event.
He's going to be probably nexttwo years.
(03:27):
He's gonna be main event.
He's gonna be main event in theples.
But right now, I mean no,obviously everybody knows braun
breaker's background, being oneof the steiners rick steiner's
son, scott steiner's nephew uh,I mean, just that right there
alone helps him just having thatkind of mentorship, helping you
know questions to be asked andall that.
But I think Sami is going touse his veteran intuition and
just some kind of way to pull itout.
(03:50):
Sami Zayn is always in matcheswhere people say he can't win
and he finds a way to win, andthis time I don't think it's
going to be any different.
I think Sami is going to pullthis one out as well and retain
the Aaron Connelly Championship.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
For the next match on the card.
It is the WWE HeavyweightChampionship match, which it's
Damian Priest versus SethRollins, and I think Seth
Rollins is going to win, becauseWWE they could have waited for
(04:24):
him to return, but since theygot him here so early, like so
quick, I feel like they're goingto put the title back on him
and I think, since he has anopportunity, I'm pretty sure
Seth Rollins is going to win.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Maybe I think Damian Priest is going to retain.
We got to think about thestipulations too.
Remember the stipulations werefor the match.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah, damian Priest leaves, going to retain.
We got to think aboutstipulations too.
Remember what stipulations werefor the match.
Yeah, damian Priest leaves theJudgment Day and Seth Rollins,
if he doesn't win, he won't beable to face Damian Priest for
the World HeavyweightChampionship.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
He can't challenge for the championship as long as
Damian Priest is the championand Damian Priest has to leave
Judgment Day.
That's two and see so that oneI can see Seth Rollins not
challenging before I can seeDamian Priest leaving the
Judgment Day.
If he leaves the Judgment Day,I think it's going to be on his
own accord, not because ofstipulation and match.
(05:15):
If Damian Priest leaves, it'sgoing to be because he doesn't.
It's already been hints ofstuff going on with Judgment Day
, the whole Ripley being goneand Lil' Morgan coming in and
everybody kind of like Lil'Morgan, except for Damian Priest
, her helping them get the tagteam championships.
Dominic lied to him and saidthat he talked to Rhea and he
(05:38):
hadn't.
Did Damian say he did talk toher and she was mad.
Plus then the Finn Balor whenhe was attacking.
Who was he attacking?
I forgot who he was attackingthe other day and Damian Priest
pulled him off and said SethRollins.
Seth Rollins, yeah so yeah,stuff like that is going to have
Damian Priest leave on his own,not because he loses Seth
Rollins.
So I think that Dam Priest isgoing to retain for a little bit
(06:01):
longer.
This gives Seth Rollins achance to go after something
else, maybe an incontinentchampionship, maybe just a feud
with somebody else.
This gives him open to dosomething else if he wants to,
besides being an reinventpitcher.
If he loses the match, he can'tchallenge it for his
(06:22):
championship anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Wait, can I add on?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So remember, gunther has an opportunity at the World
Heavyweight Championship.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
At SummerSlam.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Now Gunther is a heel and like they did a heel versus
heel in Drew McIntyre but thatwas in his hometown, so he was
technically the good guy in thatsituation and in this case.
But if Damian Priest walks into SummerSlam up against Gunther
(07:02):
, it will be just a plain heelversus heel, which is a very
rare thing.
I feel like if you're going tohave Gunther win the World
Heavyweight Championship which Ithink that's what they're going
to do I feel like there has tobe a babyface walking in the
World Heavyweight Championshipinstead of a heel?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Do you have to have a babyface?
I mean you don't have to have.
I mean, yeah, maybe years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
But like Gunther, I feel like it would be better for
him to win off of a babyfaceinstead of a heel.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
That match is going to be a good match.
I mean, yes, it's better whenyou have a face versus a heel.
Yes, it's obviously betterbecause you have two different
dynamics, but when you have twoheels or two faces wrestling
each other, it's still a goodmatch.
It can still be a good matchjust because the match is a good
match.
That's just how it is sometimes.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
But normally in that case the feud isn't all that
Like what two heels.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
But even then two heels can still fight each other
.
That makes for a better matchtoo, because then you know that
there may be some trickery, sometomfoolery going on, some
cheating going on.
If you know two heels arewrestling, if you know it's a
face versus a heel, then youknow the face isn't going to
cheat to win.
So you know he's going to tryto win.
So you know he's going to tryto win straight up and down, and
sometimes that hurts him a lotof times.
(08:18):
So I don't think SummerSlam isthe type of live event where I
don't think it really matters iftheir heels or faces.
If the matches are good, it'sone of the big four PLE events.
You know, Okay.
(08:38):
So who'd you pick for that?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I picked Seth Rollins .
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I picked Damian Priest, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
For the Women's Money at the Bank match.
It's Io versus Chelsea Greenversus LaVa Curia versus Tiffany
Stratton versus Naomi versusZoe Stark, and for this match I
have Chelsea Green and I feellike if she wins, I think she's
(09:07):
going to win and when she wins,I think she's going to hold it
like Carmella did for like280-something days, I think you
got a full year.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
You got to the next money in the bank to cash it in.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, wait, I have a question.
Could you cash in at the moneyin the bank?
Pay-per-view.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yes, people have done it before.
Yes, but there's no womenmatches on the thing, so there's
no way to cash in.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I mean now the men.
When we get down to that, theycould cash in tonight because
you have Cody Rhodes and youhave the heavyweight
championship match.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
But those two matches would have to be after that.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, it could be.
Who knows, the men may start itoff.
Who knows how it's going to go?
We don't know how the matchcard is going to go.
It could start off any kind ofway it could.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
If the men's match starts off money in the bank,
then you may see a cash in.
Not saying it will, but ithappened when.
Who was it?
Le'veon Morgan, Not Le'VeonMorgan.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Brooke, no, alexa Bliss.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
She did it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, and Nicky A no, she didn't.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
No, she did it later on, like Alexa Bliss.
She won and then cashed in thesame night.
Like literally the same night.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh Kane did it too.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah, but that's About years ago.
That's not recently though, butyeah so.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Who do you have?
Who'd?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
you pick.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I just picked Chelsea Green.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
That's right.
He said he's gonna have it foralmost a year yeah, close to, if
not a year she might cash.
Well, you gotta cash in beforenext money in the bank.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
So you have, I thought you said you could cash
in at that money in the bank.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
No, you can cash in at this money in the bank, but
not the next money in the bankoh now.
I'm talking about the same.
I'm talking about the money inthe bank at got till the next
one to do it.
Okay, so no, you got one yearto cash in before you can't cash
in using.
Pretty much everybody hascashed in where they won or lost
it, except for Otis when helost to the Miz and didn't get
(11:06):
to cash in at all.
But anyways, um, I don't know.
This is a hard one for mebecause I mean you can pretty
much say any of these womendeserve to be the money in the
bank.
I mean, all of them have put inwork.
Eo Sky won it last year.
Can she double up?
I mean Chelsea Green she's beendoing some great work behind
(11:28):
the scenes I mean not behind thescenes but backstage and stuff
like that.
Lyra Icaria she's came up in ashort time.
She's been showing how good ofa wrestler she is.
Tiffany Stratton same way Shorttime already feuding with
Bianca and Naomi and JadeCargill and all them.
Then you got Naomi, who speaksfor herself.
(11:49):
She's done it all.
She's been champion already.
Then you got Zoe Stark, who's agreat wrestler as well.
Doesn't get the recognition asmuch because of so many other
women who's a great wrestler aswell, doesn't get the
recognition as much becausethere's so many other women.
But I'm going to go.
I'm going to say TiffanyStratton, yeah, I'm just going
(12:10):
to say Tiffany Stratton, she canhold it for a little while.
May cash in at SummerSlamSurvivor Series.
Who knows, she can cash inanytime.
But yeah, I'm going to say,give it to Tiffany Stratton.
Tiffany Stratton is going towin the Money in the Bank ladder
match for the women.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
For the next match on the card, the six-man tag team
match, which is Cody Rose, randyOrton and Kevin Owens versus
the Bloodline 2.0.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
And I think the Bloodline 2.0 is going to win
Because I feel like we don'tknow who's going to be in there
for the Bloodline.
Be honest, it's four of them.
It's three on three.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
We don't know who three is going to be in there.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I mean Jacob Partu was on it and Tomatongo was like
super little.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
And Mitch Norman, and last last week it was the
opposite.
So I don't know.
I mean I don't know how I meanit can change.
I mean it can change day of.
I mean it's four of them.
All you need is three.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
There's going to be one outside the ring, obviously,
unless they're really going tosell it, that they can't cross
over the board?
They're really going to sellthat idea.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Tom DeLore can't cross over.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That Longolo can't cross over, yeah, and that would
make more sense if he reallycan't cross over, and then it
would just be three on three orthree v three.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I mean, unless they're just not going to sell
it.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know, but I feel likeif the blue line.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
This is a make or break for them, because if they
don't win this, then all thestuff with Paul Heyman is just
going to get, because that's howthey became serious and to be
serious you have to win matches.
So I feel like the Bloodline2.0 is going to beat Cody, randy
and Kevin.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, yeah.
As much as I hate to say it, Ikind of have to agree with you.
I think the Bloodline is goingto win this match too.
I mean Kevin Owens, if youwatch Friday Night Smackdown he
has a lot going on with his momand personal outside of
wrestling, that's.
You know that can interfereyour matches.
I mean, he may not even be theright friend of mine who knows
Randy I mean he's alwaysconsistent, you know.
(14:10):
But does he have his eye onCody Rhodes?
Is he going to be distracted alittle bit in this match?
And Cody Rhodes being the worldchampion, undisputed world
champion, I mean, if the men'smatches before this match, he's
going to have to watch outbecause they can cash in anytime
he wants to.
So I think the team of Randy,cody and Kevin, I think they're
(14:35):
going to be a lot moredistracted than the bloodline.
The bloodline know what they'redoing.
They're trying to get to acertain point.
They're trying to prove theyare the bloodline.
Forget about the old bloodline,they are the new bloodline.
Bring in Jacob Fatu.
Bring in Tama Tonga, tonga Loa.
He's still got Solo.
(14:55):
Obviously, we know Roman Reignsis going to come back eventually
.
We know Jimmy's coming backeventually, but that's just two.
I mean, is Jay going to joinback with his brother?
Are they going to bring afourth member in, a new guy, a
new Bloodline member?
I don't know.
I mean, that's what we got tofind out, but for right now,
this Bloodline has beendominating.
Since they started, I mean,they've been winning matches,
(15:19):
you know.
Then look at what Solo said theother day about Roman Reigns not
being able to provide for thefamily by not winning and not
retaining the belt.
He has to do it.
So I mean, I think theBloodline has a lot more to lose
in this match.
Cody's still champion at theend of the day.
Randy Orton's still going to beRandy Orton.
Kevin Owens is going to beKevin Owens.
(15:39):
If they lose this match,bloodline, they lose this match,
like everything they said forthe past few weeks.
So what you haven't won, youcan't win.
You powerbombed Paul Heymanthrough a table.
Paul Heyman's not a wrestler.
What can you do in thewrestling ring?
They have to win this match inorder for them to stay relevant,
(16:02):
I think for the man's money inthe bank match.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
At first.
This is probably going tosurprise you, but at first I
said Jey Uso.
But I'm going to switch myanswer.
I'm going with Carmelo Hayesand I feel like, yeah, like he
hasn't had that much time, butlike he's a phenomenal wrestler
(16:35):
Down at NXT he has had amazingmatches.
He's a great heel and like,look at the playing field, like
Chad Gable, he could, like theWyatt Six is probably going to
get involved, la Knight, loganPaul could get involved and Drew
McIntyre, cm Punk could getinvolved.
So that really only leaves Jay,carmelo Hayes and Andrade for
(17:00):
chances of winning, if you thinkabout it.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
But then Andrade got rid of the Gallant Phantasma.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
So you really only got two?
Yeah, I mean, if you break itdown like that, it's still.
Like I told you before, jay didtake the Firefly, so, who knows
, he could be targeted next bythe Y6 hey, so that leaves my
option.
I mean, so Carmelo Hayes isreally the only one who doesn't
have really anybody.
I mean, he's he's roughed a lotof people the wrong way because
he came in being the new younggunner and you know talking all
(17:33):
this smack about people and allthat, but as far as fuse, he
don't really have any fuse rightnow, so he has nobody to really
have to worry about coming intothe match.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You just proved my point for me.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Is that what you picked for me, ladies?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm Wait hold on, okay,jey Uso.
I mean, if they really wantedto build up this feud a little
bit, they could have the blow onAttack, jey Uso.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
They could, they could.
Before the match it's just anoption they could.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
But that's why I picked Carmelo Hayes, because,
yeah, he's in a feud with LAKnight, but LA Knight's in the
match, so there's nothing reallythere.
So there's nothing really thereand Carmelo Hayes and Logan
Paul not like friends, but likethere's no reason why they would
(18:27):
attack each other.
So I feel like Carmelo Hayes isthe only open option.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
So what's your pick?
I don't know.
I want to say J, it just feelslike it's too obvious.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
He was on the poster holding the briefcase.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I want to pick J Uso, but I just don't.
I don't know.
I really want to put it on ChadGable just because he's done a
lot of stuff this year.
I mean, look at what he didwith Alpha Academy and then the
togetherness.
Then they broke up and then nowhe has a Y6 out.
Through him you can have awhole other thing with him
(19:09):
having the money in the bank andhaving to worry about the Y6.
So he tries to think about ChadGable winning some money in the
bank.
He tries to think about ChadGable wins the money in the bank
.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
He tries to cash in while six comes out and he can't
cash in now because he has torun away from him.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I mean, that writes itself right there.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I mean, then you got Drew McIntyre.
He's not going to win at all.
Zero percent chance of winning,because CM Punk is not going to
let him win.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
But CM Punk's injured you think.
Cm Punk's going to walk outthere with a broken arm and
still prevent.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
How do you know, he broke his arm.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I'm just saying like he has to be somewhat injured.
The man was bleeding all overhis body.
That was like three weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Still, he can be healed from that in three weeks.
All I'm saying is Drew McIntyre, I don't think, has any chance
at all to win.
I mean, the way CM Punk hasbeen after him, I don't see him
letting him win that again.
La Knight, like I said, I thinkhe should win it but, like I
said, him and Logan Paul beenfeuding.
Where's Logan Paul at?
(20:11):
He has to make an appearance, Ithink so.
I'm gonna go with the wild horse, crazy answer.
I'm going to go with Andrade.
Going to go with Andrade.
I mean, he is probably one ofthe better wrestlers in the
world.
I just hope they actually lethim showcase that, because he
(20:34):
hadn't really been able toreally show what he can do since
NXT.
I mean, nxt he was a champ andyou know.
And then Triple H, when he wasrunning it, let him do his thing
and let him become, you knowAndrade, the way people knew him
from Mexico and when he was inyou know Lucha.
So, but yeah, see, ice came tomain roster wasn't as good.
(20:55):
He left, went to AEW.
People who watch AEW know thathe didn't do much there either.
Left came back to WWE.
Now he's kind of getting alittle push now.
I just hope that, since TripleH is in charge now over the main
roster, maybe he'll let Andradekind of do what he was doing at
NXT.
Just let him be Andrade ElIdolo, you know.
(21:19):
So that's who I got winning theMen's Money in the Bank ladder
match.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Andrade.
Now now Jay holding thebriefcase on the poster, like I
really like.
I really think Jay's gonna win.
But I like Carmelo Hay hayesand I want him to win.
(21:41):
But if you're holding thebriefcase and you're in the
match there's a couple ofposters that people are holding
the briefcase but they're not inthe match.
But if you're in the match andyou're holding the briefcase,
that normally means except forkofi Kingston that normally
means that you're going to winthe match.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, I get it.
I mean it's just too obviousthough.
It's almost like hey, here'sJ-Ho in a briefcase.
It's like I just don't.
(22:20):
I mean I think I want him towin because the way the crowd
has been reacting to him sincehe broke off from.
I mean, if you had told me fiveyears ago that Jey Uso would be
a main event wrestler, Iwouldn't have believed you,
because he was always in the tagteam.
He was never by himself.
Him and Jimmy Uso have neverbeen a singles match.
Since they came to WWE when itwas FCW and then they came to
the main roster with Tamina,they have never not been a tag
team.
So this is the first time theywere actually able to break off
and Jimmy so far has been ableto capitalize on it.
And then we'll see what Jimmydoes.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Jimmy hasn't been able to capitalize.
He's injured.
Well, I mean, that's the same.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
But he was still under Roman Reigns.
When Jay broke off and went toRaw, jimmy was still under Roman
Reigns, getting beat up andgetting talked too bad, so he
was never able to reallycapitalize on it.
Then he was interfering withthe match, with Jay's match.
It cost him a worldchampionship, cost him the Aaron
Connolly championship againstGunther, I mean.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Cost him the well.
He just technically cost himthe tag titles, when he had the
tag titles Exactly.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And then he wrestled at WrestleMania and Jay beat him
in a lackluster match, butstill he beat him, you know, but
at the end of the day, jayhasn't been able to capitalize.
look, he's in the men's mainmatch right now he has the crowd
going hype every time he comesout still has probably one of
the best entrants out right now,bar none, you know.
(23:34):
Still probably the best matchout, the best entrance out there
right now.
So, like I said, I think a lotof people are rooting for jay,
like I'm rooting for jay I justdon't see, I don't think he's
gonna win.
I just don't think he's gonnawin.
I think it's gonna be somebodyelse.
I mean, in perfect world I wantto see chad gig will get it so
he can have more wide sixinteractions, because that's
that's money right now, just theway he looks when they come out
(23:56):
.
La Knight obviously is a goodchoice too, because people love
him as well, but then Logan Pauland him and Logan Paul's going
at it.
Him and Logan Paul haven't hada match for the United States
Championship yet, but LAKnight's been going for that.
I guess he could have the moneyin the bank and have a match
for the United StatesChampionship, but I think that's
(24:17):
the belt he wants to win next,I believe, and then he may get a
chance later on.
But yeah, I have Andrade.
I think I got Andrade for thatone.
Anything else you want to add?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I mean not really, but, um, a part of me really
thinks that, like, I feel likelike there's no way, it's not,
it's gonna happen because, like,um, the one person this match
was not gonna win definitelydrew mcintyre.
(24:55):
But I really want, really wanthim to win, but it's just not
happening.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah, I mean you could have him win, and every
time you try to cash in, CM Punkinterferes.
But he's going to wineventually.
Cm Punk can't be there all thetime.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Unless CM Punk steals the briefcase.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Could.
But that's why I say CM Punk'sgoing to interfere in the match
anyways and stop him fromwinning anyways.
Yeah, I mean the last time wesaw CM Punk he was getting
carried away in Chicago.
He ain't gonna take that linedown, he's gonna come back at
him.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
How do you know he's not hurt?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Well, he might be hurt, but that don't mean he's
not Drew McIntyre.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
He was fake hurt.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
He was probably still hurt a little bit.
He still had a cast on his arm.
He could still be hurt and notbe able to wrestle.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Sebastian, he yanked the dude off the table.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I understand that but you can still be hurt and look
good but still can't wrestle.
That's why CM Punk can'twrestle.
He may be cleared but he justcan't.
He's still got to get back inshape and wrestle.
So him, him and Drew McIntyreare going to go at SummerSlam.
(26:02):
Unless CM Punk is hurt worsethan they're saying, I think
that they're going to wrestle atSummerSlam.
I think I told you when wewatched SmackDown yesterday,
drew McIntyre was holding hisankle and he got thrown out the
ring.
I don't know if that was justlanded wrong on it or something
more serious, but I guess we'llsee when the match comes on if
he's limping or they saysomething about it.
But he was holding his anklepretty hard, like he was sitting
(26:26):
on the ground for a littlelonger than he usually does.
But we'll see how it goes whenthe match comes up tonight.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I don't think it's anything serious.
I hope it's not.
I mean it didn't look likeanything serious.
I hope it's not.
I mean it didn't look likeanything serious.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
He's just clutching his ankle a little bit.
Yeah, sometimes it can be asprained ankle, sometimes a
sprained ankle.
You haven't had one yet.
I don't think no.
I've had one, it was brief, yeah, that's what I'm saying A real
sprained ankle.
The more you play sports youget a sprained ankle.
It hurts a little bit thatfirst day, but that second day
is when it hurts the worstbecause it swells up a little
bit.
You can't walk on it hardly.
That's today.
(27:02):
If Drew McIntyre did actuallysprain his ankle yesterday, then
today it's going to be killinghim.
Just based on what you know,just based on experience I've
had with stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
That's even more reason.
I mean, I don't think he'sreally that hurt, but that's
even more reason why DrewMcIntyre's not winning.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Exactly so we'll see how that goes.
But yeah, I got Andrade, yougot who now?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I have Carmelo Hayes.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
All right, so we'll see who wins that match.
Anything else?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Mm-hmm, I would know.
Yeah, I guess, but like I don'tknow, I'm good, anything else
you good.
I was gonna say something.
I mean, for some reason, themoney in the bank match.
I feel like we're both gonna bewrong we may be.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I mean, there's how many people in the match?
One, two, six people in thematch, only one can win.
So you know, if six people pickall six in there, only one of
them will win.
So yeah, we could be wrong orone of us could be right.
I mean, that's just how.
That's how the odds work.
You know, if it was one-on-oneand I picked one, you picked the
other, then one of us wouldhave to be right.
(28:07):
But it's six people in thematch.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
So we we pick two out of six.
So we got two out of six chance.
It's a one third chance 33, andone third chance is what Scott
Stern said right.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah, I mean, I've never heard him say it, but I've
like seen people referencing ityeah.
All right, are you done?
I'm done.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
You done, I'm done, you done.
Mhm, alright, this has been theepisode I'm Ben, I'm Bash and
this has been.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
