Speaker 1 (00:00):
WWWE is coming off one of its most memorable events
ever that they have ever held. All anybody's been talking
about over the last forty eight hours has been John
Cena and The Rock and what happened to Cody Rhoads
at the Elimination Chamber this past weekend. It was all
over the place, was on Sports Center, was on every
fucking cable show, and every media outlet has covered it

(00:23):
like they've covered it like a real event. I mean,
it's actually been quite ridiculous. So they've gotten a lot
of publicity, which means there were a lot of people
tuning into this show tonight hoping to see the follow
up here from Cody Rhoads. Maybe we would see The Rock,
maybe we would see John Cena. The Rock said that
John Cena the other day flew right to Africa to

(00:43):
film some stuff for his movie, So I wasn't expecting
to see John Cena on the show tonight. I don't
think we're going to see John Cena until Saint Patrick's Day,
because I think that might be the next time he's
even advertised for a show. So it's tough because we
didn't have any follow up. What's so ever outside of
Michael Cole telling us tonight that Cody Rhodes is going

(01:04):
to address the situation on SmackDown coming up on Friday. Yeah,
Shannon Sharp, that's right. Shannon Sharp was whining. He was
whining and complaining on ESPN. I saw that. So in
No Rock, No Sina, and No Cody, it was tough
for It was gonna be a tough sell because everybody's
so excited and amped up about that angle that we
saw the other day. CM Punk and Seth Rollins they

(01:28):
kind of cushioned the blow tonight because they had a
tremendous opening segment today. CM Punk was not happy about
the events of the elimination Chamber on Saturday, and what
we ended up with was one of the best pull
apart brawls that I've ever seen, certainly in a very
long time in an age where we see so many
of them every single week. This was awesome, and so

(01:50):
CM Punk and Seth Rollins are now on a collision
course for a big match that I'm going to talk
about here in a little bit. We also had three
championship matches, so they tried their best to load the
shit show up tonight with stuff even though we had
the big stuff wasn't going to be there, and the
main event on this show was Ria Ripley defending her
Women's World Championship against EO Sky. Now, I don't know

(02:11):
that anybody coming into this show honestly believed that EO
Sky was going to be walking out with that championship.
At best, I think people might have been hopeful that
we would maybe not get a clean finish, but it
would somehow result in a three way match or WrestleMania
so that Eo can work her way into the match
with Riha and Bianca, and we would end up with

(02:32):
a triple threat of WrestleMania with Ria defending her title.
What they did tonight is actually quite incredible because for
all the talk a few weeks ago, two weeks ago,
two weeks ago, you had so many people talking about
the fact that this doesn't feel like WrestleMania. Man, this
is boring, right, there's WrestleMania build men, it's missing something

(02:53):
and there's some excitement. It's got no life. Where's the
excitement for WrestleMania. There's a lot of excit even coming
out of the elimination Chamber, and it rolled on into tonight.
In terms of unpredictability because they closed the show tonight
by Eosky beating Rheo Ripley to become the new Women's

(03:16):
World Champion, which means that Eo Sky is going to
defend that title now against Bianca bell Air as things
stand at WrestleMania and Rhea Ripley is on the outside
looking in. Now we know that Rhea Ripley is not
going to be on the outside for much longer. She
will obviously find her way into this match in some

(03:36):
form or fashion. But that was a shocking ending that
I don't think anybody saw coming, and it shakes things
up that much more now heading into WrestleMania. Now, I,
for one, I'm happy for Eo. Eosky had a tremendous
year in twenty twenty four, and it started with her
as a heel, it ended with her as a babyface.
She's over organically. The fans like Eo because EO's fucking great.

(03:58):
What's not to like? Fantastic, She's a fantastic professional wrestler,
She's got a charisma about her. I love Leo and
I'm very happy for her now that she has seemingly
I gotta put a little star next to it seemingly
guaranteed herself a spot on the WrestleMania card in a
major match. Now, there is still time between now and

(04:19):
wrestle Media. A lot can happen in the next six weeks,
but as things stand, she is going to be in
the Women's World Championship match, and it just shakes things
up in a way that makes things a lot of
fun to follow. I didn't look at what they did
tonight as any sort of oh, we have to do
it just to you know, shock people. And look, we
don't know what their plans are going forward as far

(04:40):
as this match. For all we know, Eo Sky could
drop the belt right back to Rhea Ripley in a
few weeks. That may well be what happens. It may
yet happen that Rhea Ripley gets the belt back and
we end up with Riha and Bianca one on one.
But as things stand, it looks like those three are
on a collision course and we're going to end up
with a triple threat match, and that's great because it
gives Eo a great spot on the show. I, however,

(05:03):
have been waiting a very long time for a singles
match between Ria Ripley and Bianca bell Air at WrestleMania.
I am hopeful. I am hopeful that we will get
that singles match at some point in the not too
distant future. I can envision a scenario though, where we
don't get it until WrestleMania next year. I think I

(05:25):
mentioned this the other day. I was mulling over the
possibilities here, and I was a little worried that there
might not be enough time for them to really adequately
build up a good enough story or a good amount
of heat generate heat between Ria and Bianca between now
and WrestleMania. Could it be a situation where we end

(05:45):
up with a triple threat and Bianca maybe walks out
of WrestleMania as the champion, not pinning Rhea, which I
think could be why EO ends up in the match,
and they build to a singles match it next year's
wrestle Media, right, instead of giving it to us now,
they give it to us now year, and they give
it more time to simmer and marinate and build up.
I also think that's a possibility as well, But I

(06:06):
like the fact that we don't know. We don't know
for sure. There's lots of different options in ways now
that this can go. I'm not mad about the fact
that EO Sky's the world champion. Rhea Ripley is going
to now have to find her way into that match
that will play out over the next several weeks. But
it was a shocking ending that I don't know that
anybody saw coming. And you could tell because go back

(06:27):
and watch the end of that match and listen to
the reaction of the crowd. The crowd was silent when
the match was over, not because they don't like EO. Sky.
They were stunned. Nobody in that building in Buffalo tonight, okay,
and they said it was a sold out crowd. They
had thirteen thousand people in that building. Nobody in that

(06:47):
building was expecting Eoski to win that title. So when
the match was over, it was almost like a shell
shocked reaction from the crowd. That's why they were so quiet.
They were just stunned by what they did saw. They
couldn't believe it. But I like that how they're keeping
you on your toes now going into WrestleMania season right,
the whole Rock and John seeing the thing that blew

(07:09):
up the main event picture, and we'll talk more about
that when we talk about punkin rollins and how one
might affect the other. But this is great. This shakes
things up heading into WrestleMania in a way that I
and a lot of other people were hoping for. This
is what a lot of people were hoping for. It
keeps you on your toes, It keeps you wondering, Okay,
which way is this going to go? Right? I think

(07:30):
I could see where this is gonna end up, but
I'm not sure now right. Oh, they threw a curveball
our way. That's what WrestleMania should be about. Everybody bitches
and moans about predictability, Well guess what. They threw some
unpredictable moves at you now. And I appreciate that because
a couple of weeks ago I was sitting here just
like a lot of you, saying, yeah, you know what.

(07:50):
This doesn't This doesn't really feel like the build to WrestleMania.
They blew their load last year with Cody's story in
the Final Boss. Now they're gonna have to come up
with something different. Well that's what they are doing right now.
But I did not see that finish coming, and that
was one of only that was one of I should
say three championship matches that we had on this show today.

(08:10):
The other singles title in the women's division was also defended.
We Elyra Valkyria defending her Intercontinental title against Ivy Nile.
And if the crowd was quiet there, it wasn't because
they were shell shocked. It was for other reasons. And
the tag team titles on the line tonight, with the
war Raiders defending them against the Creeds, would American Made
finally be able to pick up a win or would

(08:32):
they continue to be the job squad? That was the
question coming into I'll give you one guess, I give
you one guess. Master Gable, by the way, is off.
He's off in Mexico roaming the streets. Wait until I
get to that segment. He ran into some very unsavory
characters that looked like Today's walking around the streets of
Mexico in a suit looking for who we don't know,

(08:56):
but CM Punk and Seth Rollins. I mentioned them being
on a collision course. They have signed a huge match
for Raw next week. They're not waiting until WrestleMania. They're
gonna be in Madison Square Garden next Monday. We are
getting a steel cage match between CM Punk and seth Rawlins,

(09:16):
and I have all kinds of ideas about what this
means and where it's where it's gonna end up going potentially.
But CM Punk was in rare form tonight. The CM
Punk that we got on this show tonight, that's the
fucking CM Punk that I was hoping to see when
he came back to this company. Once I saw okay
he's back, they brought him in right. There's a certain
CM Punk that you remember from the last time you

(09:39):
saw him in WWE, and we didn't really get that
at first. It took a while for him to start
to show up, and it was Drew McIntyre who really
was the first one to pull it out of him.
But the CM Punk we got tonight was angry, He
was pissed off. He called out a whole bunch of people.
He put including the rock in John Cena. He put
a bunch of people on notice. And now we have

(09:59):
a huge match set up for the show next week,
which is great. It's gonna be a great match and
we're gonna see Roman Reigns back on the show next week.
They didn't say that, but it's pretty clear. That's the
If there was ever a place for Roman Reins to
make his return, it's going to be in the hallowed
halls of Madison Square Garden next week. So now things

(10:19):
are starting to pick up. We're getting the big players
back on TV. Roman's about to come back, Randy orton
his back, Jade Carr, Gil just came back, John seeing
a turned heel the rock right, he's popped up. Now
he's gonna be on the show. Not every week, but
he's going to be on the show. The pieces now
look like they're starting to fall into place. So many
of these people were m I A that was part

(10:42):
of the problem. You knew that WrestleMania was gonna be
built around a lot of these people, but they weren't
on TV. Now they are, slowly but surely. Now they
have re emerged. They've popped their head up from the
ground and they're finally re emerging. And now WrestleMania is
coming together and it feels fun overall. I thought this
was a good show tonight. This was a good show.

(11:03):
Only four matches on this show, but I thought this
was a good show. This is your Raw on Netflix review,
the first one here for the month of March. It
is Monday, March third, twenty and twenty five. I am
the Solemn Monster. Thank you guys for hanging out with
me here on a Monday night. We are starting a
brand new week. We had a very busy weekend and

(11:23):
I have to say thank you to everybody who joined
me for this ride. Here the Elimination Chamber review. We
had well over four thousand people here on this channel
the other night for what ended up being a very
big night, and sixty thousand roughly sixty thousand views in counting.
So if you missed the review, the full recap is

(11:44):
up on the channel. But that was a crazy night
on Saturday, to say the least, and a very late
night too. I was a little bleary eyed when I
did the podcast on Sunday. I'm not gonna lie. I
think I did the podcast on like three hour sleep.
But there's no rad during WrestleMania's season because there's always
something going on and I love it. That's why we're here.

(12:06):
Hit that subscribe button. Super chats are open. You will
see them popping up on your screen. This Kevin Owens
has the best move set. He was not on the
show tonight. You will see them popping up on your screen.
There's some new ones in the description down below. I
will be reading your messages. So if you have thoughts
of what happened tonight, get him on in. Let me
know what you thought of the show. Let me know

(12:27):
what you think of Yo Sky the new women's champion.
What do you think about John Cena? Send him money
and we'll hang out a little bit later on. They
got off to a hot start here. This right here
was the best thing on the entire show. And I
thought the main event was very good. I actually I
really like the main event, but this segment right here,

(12:47):
this to me, was the highlight of the night. A
car pulls up to the venue and it's cmpunk and
he gets out and he is not happy, and he
is marching into the building with a purpose, and the
camera follows him as he goes through the backstage area
through the gorilla position. They hit his music and he
comes out to the ring and there's no posing and

(13:09):
there's no stopping to say, you know, hey, it's clobber
and time. He marches down to the ringside area and
he grabs a microphone and he takes the top lid
of the announced desk and rips it off, stands on
top of the announced desk and he said he wants
to start the show off with a bang. So he
said he's liable to get the show kicked off of

(13:30):
Netflix with what he wants to say. Oh, well, look,
I mean if they didn't get kicked off Peacock for
you know, Cody Roads the other night telling the rock
oh fuck yourself, then I don't think they're going to
be kicked off Netflix tonight. So but he was. He
was in rare form. What's CM Punk? And Punk asks
for a name, give me a name. Who do you
want me to address first? Right, he had a lot

(13:51):
on his mind, so he asked the fans, who do
you want me to address first? So Pat McAfee's looking
up at him and he's going the final Boss. So
Punk looks into the camera and he says, listen up, Dwayne,
you bald fraud. You think that because you're on the
board of directors that you're immune from criticism, Well, you

(14:13):
don't know who you're dealing with. Says, You're dealing with
the best in the world, middle aged and crazy. He's
done it all to try and main event WrestleMania while
Rock shows up when he feels like it, says he'd
like to say it to Rock's face, but Rock hasn't
been around in months, so then he mocks the Rocks.
Goosebumps puts his arm out mocking the Rock, says he

(14:38):
got fake. Goosebumps says that he's never worn a fake
title belt and referred to himself as the People's Champion
because he earned it. I mean, how do you think
Paul Bear won that trophy when he was in middle school?
He earned it, nailed it. Now, let's see how many

(15:00):
you know where that joke is from. Say. He says
he's never been so desperate as to sell his soul.
Punk did that you can't see me and he said, hey, John,
we can all see you now. He says Sina stole
something from him. On Saturday night, he said he gave
Scena the benefit of the doubt for not having to
qualify for the Elimination Chamber, because yeah, he said that

(15:20):
coming into the show over the weekend. He respects John
Cena and his standing in the company. Right, it's his
final year, so hey, he didn't have to qualify like
everybody else did for the chamber, so he gave him
the benefit of the doubt. You're not going to fool
me again, though, he said he can see now that
Sena has been selling kids bullshit for twenty years. So

(15:43):
Sina said that, you know, mister don't quit, right, Sena
was don't give up, never give up, never quit, gave
up on himself, and he gave up on all of
those kids. Says, you'll never see Punk give up on
his dreams. He'll get his hands on both of those
bald frauds down the road and they will make a

(16:03):
wish that he never did. Then he turned his attention
to the man of the hour that he really was
upset with, that, of course, being Seth Rawlins, says the
man who currently has his undivided attention. He looked into
the camera and he said, Becky Lynch better come get her, man,
because I'm gonna put Seth in a wheelchair if she doesn't.

(16:27):
And everybody say he mentioned the unmentionable where's she at?
By the way, I thought for sure she would be
back by now. I don't really see a role for
her wrestle manie, although I guess Rhea Ripley now is
out of a match, right, So hey, they could always
do Riha and Becky again, a rematch from last year,
but there would be nothing on the line. So as

(16:49):
soon as he names roped Becky he was about to
get into Rollins. We hear seth Rowlins theme music, and
Punk was not interested in standing around and waiting for
this guy, this this dancing clown emoji as you can,
to dance out to the ring. As soon as he
hears the music, he jumps down from the announced desk
and he charges down the aisleway and as Rollins is coming.

(17:09):
He didn't notice him at first, right, he probably had
the fucking glasses on. So Rollins dances out, but then
he realizes that Punk is charging towards him, and so
they start going at it. We got a slug fest.
Here come a bunch of agents, Here come a bunch
of producers. They try to get in between these guys.
It's not working. They're trying to keep them apart. It's
not working. Eventually they break free. They fought into the

(17:33):
ring very briefly, they got pulled apart again, so Punk
and Rollins. Eventually they fought to ringside. Punk went over.
He went sailing over the broadcast table. Fans are chanting,
this is awesome. These people are losing their minds, Like
everybody is going nuts for this, like the heat in
the building, like I wasn't in the building, but like
you could hear it, Like people were going crazy for this.

(17:56):
So eventually they got pulled apart again find for good,
and that took us into the commercial break. As I
said before, this version of CM punk, this is the
version of CM punk that if you were ever a
fan of his, this is the version that you remember, angry, bitter,
pissed off at the world coming out there and just

(18:18):
dropping bombs on anybody and everybody, right, nobody is safe
the rock John Cena seth rawl and nobody is safe.
Angry over what happened at the Elimination Chamber, because so
often on these shows we have people that will lose
a match at a big event, or they'll lose a championship.
And this was always one of my gripes with John

(18:40):
Cena when he was on top and he was the champion,
and he would show up on Raw the next night
and all smiles, like nothing ever happened. Bianca and Naomi
they lost their women's tag team titles on this very
show last week and then they show up at the
very next show. I think it was smacked out on
Friday before their six women tag team match. All smiles.

(19:02):
You would never know that four days earlier they lost
their titles to Live Morgan in Raquel Rodriguez, no indication
whatsoever that they were upset or bothered by it. Cmpunk
loses at the elimination chamber and gets screwed out of
what would have been his first Wrestlemaniam main event, and
he has appropriately pissed the fuck off when he shows

(19:24):
up on this show, like you could feel it. It
was radiating through the television screen. That's the way it
should be, that anger, that vitriol over what happened to him.
And as far as polarpark brawls go, this is one
of the best that you'll see. We're so desensitized to
them because we get them on these shows every single week.
In WWEE and AW, it's always every week we get

(19:47):
pull apart brawls. But this one felt like a real
pull apart brawl, like these guys wanted to kill each other,
and these people they couldn't do anything about it because
every time they would separate them, they would find their
way back to each other and the people would go
nuts all over again. So the way they handled this
I thought was fantastic. And what they also did in
this segment by Punk looking into the camera and singling

(20:11):
out John Cena and saying all the things that he
said about him, is they set up for the eventual
singles match between them, and I think I think his
exact words were down the road, Right, you and I
are gonna meet him and rock him and Sena like
gonna deal with you guys down the road. That tells
me that it's not a match that we're gonna be

(20:34):
expecting anytime soon. Right, it could be something that comes, well,
it would have to be later in the year if
this really is seen his final year. But I didn't
get the impression that we're gonna be getting the match
necessarily anytime soon. But my thought was Punk and Sena
one more time, money in the bank. How appropriate would

(20:54):
that be? Right, It's absolutely a SummerSlam match, right if
they're not doing it at Wrestle, which they're not, right
Causina is challenging for the title at least one on one.
They're not doing it at media. Absolutely, it could be
a Summer Slim main event. You got two nights of
Summer Slim by the way it met Life Stadium this year.
Absolutely could be a main event on one of those nights.

(21:15):
But how great would it be right just to kind
of tie it back one of those full circle moments
if we end up getting one last singles match between
Punk and Sena at Money in the Bank after the
classic they had on that show all those years ago,
but this summer, I could see that. I could see
that happening sometime later on in the summer. Maybe even

(21:36):
if Seena wins the championship at WrestleMania, maybe he wins
Number seventeen in Las Vegas and they give him a
few months with it. Punk could get his title match
against Sena, you know, sometime over the summer. So I
could definitely see that Money in the Bank. That would
be a nice callback. But Punk and Rollins they're having
a cage match next week. It was made later in

(21:59):
the show, kind of skipping ahead, but it was made
official later in the show. So they're gonna be wrestling
next week, which means we're not getting CM Punk in
seth Rawlins one on one at WrestleMania. Question is, are
they going to do Roman reigns and Seth Rolins and
leave CM Punk out to do something maybe bigger, or

(22:21):
do we get the triple threat because this still feels
like a triple threat not a doubt in my mind.
Roman is back next week if he just goes after
Seth or if he waits until after the match is over, right,
we get we get an actual winner. We get it,
maybe a clean finish, and then Roman comes back. I'm

(22:41):
not so sure that's gonna happen, because look, Punk already
beat Rolin's fair and square. They're gonna beat him fair
and square again. Is Rollin's gonna get his win back?
And then Roman's gonna come out? Almost feels to me
like Roman would come out during the match and we
wouldn't get a proper decisive finish. But there are potential
issues between Roman and Punk that are unresolved, and then

(23:04):
Punk still has the favor from Paul Hayman, so we
don't know if they're gonna tell that story going into WrestleMania.
It still feels like a triple threat match to me.
There are other scenarios though, where CM Punk could very
well end up in the WrestleMania main event. This year
and not with these two. We could envision a scenario,

(23:24):
right if we look at what happened on this show tonight,
where CM Punk could maybe cash that favor in to
insert himself into the championship match of WrestleMania. Now, where
do I rank that as a possibility. I don't rank
that at the very top of the list I look
at it, especially after what Punk said about the Rock tonight,
called him a bald fraud. He threatened him, said he's

(23:46):
going to be coming after him. Even if Hayman you
know where to go to Rock and ask for a favor, right,
because Hayman only has so much poll what's the incentive
for Rock to agree to something like that? Right, John
Sena is going to be his champion. Why would he
voluntarily make it harder for that to happen by inserting

(24:06):
Cmpunk in the main event and giving him what he
wants it? Really, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Could we be looking at a scenario like we had
last year? Night one of WrestleMania last year was a
tag team match. That tag team match had direct implications
for the main event on Night two. The main event
of Night one this year doesn't really have to have

(24:27):
direct implications on Night two. They could just do a
tag team match. We could get John Cena and The
Rock as tag team partners. If the Rock wants to wrestle.
Maybe the Rock doesn't want to do a singles match, right,
he looked fine in the tag team match last year,
fucking forty five minute match that was, and he looked fine.
If he wants to wrestle this year, tag match might

(24:48):
be the way to go. You get Rock and Sena
as tag team partners only the second time, right, I
think that would only be the second time that's ever
happened outside of the Rocks return in twenty eleven when
they wrestled Missing Our Truth. You can get them as
tag team partners. But his heals this time against Cody
Rhodes and CM Punk. CM Punk gets his WrestleMania main event.

(25:11):
So there's a number of different ways that this could go.
Doesn't even necessarily have to impact the main event on
Night two, and Punk doesn't have to be inserted into
the title match. So next week we'll tell the tale
because we're going to see if Roman Rain shows up,
does he go after Punk as well? Does he just
go after seth Rollins does he inadvertently cost Punk the

(25:32):
match by coming out, and that's what pisses off CM Punk.
Fuck you, you cost me a win here, right, then
it's a triple threat all the way because now Punk's
got beef not only with Rollins, but he's got beef
with Roman Rains. If Roman costs him the match next week,
it's a steel cage match. When has the steel cage
kept anybody out? Like, let's be honest here, Roman Rains

(25:53):
is gonna come back next week. He's getting in that
fucking cage. You could put a top on that cage
and he is still going to find his way in.
So I like it. I love that. There are a
lot of different ways that this could go. Do not
discount the possibility, the very real possibility, though, that CM
Punk will still get his WrestleMania main event this year.
And consider this as well, if they do a triple

(26:16):
threat match, Let's say on Night one, would that main
event the show? Would you have that in the main
event on Night one over Gunther and jay Usso for
the World Heavyweight Championship, Because they said jay Usso gets
the main event of WRESTLEMANI and they have two technically
two main events. Now, now, if you win the Royal Rumble,

(26:38):
it would be pretty shitty if you can't even get
a Night one main event, right, But the bigger of
the two matches, I'm sorry, the bigger of the two
matches Roman reigns CM Punk and Seth Rollins is the
bigger of those two matches. Punk may get his main
event regardless. This was fucking great. This was a great
way to open the show. The Judgment Day was backstage. Hey,

(27:03):
Frank is with us. Frank just joined the channel. We've
had a lot of new people joining the channel, so
I salute you. We are barreling towards eighty five thousand
subscribers here, so I thank you guys for that. The
Judgment Day were backstage in their clubhouse, and despite the
outcome of the elimination Chamber match, which did not exactly

(27:26):
go their way, Dominic was happy that Live Morgan and
Riquel they won the tag team titles last week, and
Live looked pretty happy as well. Did you see the photo,
by the way, that Live posted on her Twitter after
the chamber Like if she was walking through the airport
and somebody looked at her and they saw how beaten

(27:48):
up and bruised up. She was. I think they would
probably call some kind of eight hundred number because they
would be concerned for this woman. She was bruised up
from head to toe, and of course she had that welt,
that scar from the braid whip from Bianca. She took
a fucking beating in that match, but she was the
MVP of that elimination chamber match, so she was very

(28:09):
happy and she knew that she would be world champion again.
One day, she thought that it was Raquel's time to
chase the intercontinental title, and Raquel thought that was a
very interesting idea and said, I'm gonna have my eyes
on that match tonight between Lyra and Ivy. So, Finn
Balor was the only one missing here right, Carlito was
standing there, Dom was there live. Raquel liv looks down

(28:33):
at Finn, who was off camera. They pan over. He's
sitting on the couch. She's, I guess thinking to himself,
and it's like he's sulking, but he smiles and he
pops up. He goes, oh, yeah, I'm fine, and he
congratulated them on their tag team title win last week.
Even though you lost in the elimination chamber. Little backhand there,

(28:55):
and Live did not look very happy about that comment.
Balor said that he was annoyed with Domin Carlito getting
embarrassed last week by bron Breaker, and dom said, we
got embarrassed. He goes, you had a chair in your hand,
and you still backed up. You still backed away from
bron Breaker, and he again floated the idea of adding

(29:17):
a new member to the judgment day in. Balor once
again shot the idea down flat and said, look, we
don't need a new member, like I don't want to
hear it anymore. Right, they're totally getting a new member.
But he shot the idea down cold, and he said,
maybe I'll deal with Broun myself tonight. So he left
and Dominic Gass lived about Jade Cargill killing Naomi at

(29:38):
the elimination Chamber, and Live said, I don't want to
get involved, and I had nothing to do with it.
I told you we had nothing to do with it.
It's none of our business. We don't want to get involved.
We have the World heavyweight champion Gunther once again in

(29:59):
a non time match on this show. Last week, he
wrestled Tozawa. This week he wrestled another member of Alpha Academy, Otis,
and he cut a promo on Otis on his way
to the ring before the match, and he wondered what
Otis saw in the mirror When he looked in the
mirror in the morning, he wondered what Otis saw. Gunther said,

(30:22):
he looks at himself and he sees the World Championship.
He sees the World Championship belt Otis when he looks
in the mirror or when he wakes up in the morning.
He's busy trying to find a belt that can fit him,
because you see, he is a large man. You know,
Gunther used to be a pretty uh hefty, you know,

(30:42):
pudgy boy himself. He looks very different now compared to
how he used to look. But for Otis, it works though.
You know Otis, he's a powerlift. It's naturally big. So
he suggested that Otis could be great if you just
had a little bit of self respect, and Gunther said
he would teach him something about self respect tonight. So

(31:02):
he was about to address jay Uso, but instead he
blindsided Otis with a boot. Didn't even see it coming,
and with Otis down, the referee decided that this would
be a great time to reward bad behavior by calling
for the bell to start the match. So the match
was underway and Gunther worked Otis over until Otis yanked

(31:24):
him out of the ring and he gave him a
fallaway slam on the floor and it looked like Gunther's
head bounced hard off the floor. So Otis had control
until he missed a charge in the corner. Gunther held
control through the commercial break. Otis fired up no sold
some of Gunther's chops, so they traded chops. Otis slammed
him and then he hit the caterpillar elbow dropped for

(31:46):
a near fall. Otis missed the Vader bomb. Gunther followed
with a dropkick and then he hit a big boot.
He followed that with a power bomb and he picked
up the win. Fun little match here, and a good
show for Otis. You know, he doesn't really get to
show a lot of what he can really do, and
for the reactions that he gets, he's super over. It

(32:09):
doesn't really jive with the amount of television time or
ring time that he gets, Like he really shouldn't be
this over, but he is. It's just not commensurate with
the amount of time he's actually given on the television show.
So it's pretty impressive that people are still into him
as much as they are now. Guntherer put Otis in
a sleeper hold after the match, so Tozaua tried to

(32:31):
make the same Tozawa's tried to make the save here.
That's cute, that's cute. Gunther power bombs him on top
of Otis, and Gunther was about to continue the attack,
but jay USO's music hits, which distracted him. And I
think this was like the third week in a row.
Jay came out of the entrance way like a normal person,

(32:53):
not out of the crowd. So he comes out, he
charges down to the ring.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
They brawl.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
It ends with Jay hitting Spear and Gunther rolls out
to the floor. And it looked like Jay was gonna
stand tall here to close the segment. He's posing on
the ropes, but he got attacked from behind by Austin,
Theory and Grace and Waller. Gun Now he fought them.
He might a comeback all by himself. Fought them off.
Gunther made his way back into the ring. He snuck

(33:19):
up from behind him. He put him in a sleeper
hole and he put him down and out went Jay Uso,
and so it did not end with him standing tall.
It ended with the World heavyweight Champion standing tall instead. So,
you know, trying to put more heat on Gunther here
as he comes out, he's insulting all of the fan favorites.
He's talking down to everybody like he's better than everyone.

(33:42):
He's got that smug look on his face, talking shit
every week about Jay Usso, a simple man with a
simple gesture being cheered by simple people. I mean, not
that he's wrong, but obviously people don't want to hear that.
They don't want to hear the truth. It is a
simple gesture for simple people. Those are the ones that
get over the easiest. It just works so well with

(34:03):
the wrestling audience. But of course people dow it because
they realized the jokes on them. They don't want to
hear it, and so Jay ends up being put out.
We would hear from Jay later in the show, and
we got some real fire from him instead of it
just being a yeat promo. I like the fire that
we got from him later in the show that Kathy
Kelly was backstage and she was talking to aj Styles

(34:28):
wanted his thoughts on what went down with John Cena
at the elimination Chamber. Of course, Sena and AJ they
had some classic matches. Sena one number sixteen by beating
AJ at the Royal Rumble many years ago. So Style
said that he was shocked and he didn't see it
coming all of a sudden, talk about unexpected, out of nowhere.

(34:51):
Carrie and Cross is overly chummy, and he sneaks up
behind AJ and he hugs him. He grabs him and
he hugs him like he's his best friend or something.
I laughed at this just the way he did it,
And you know, it's spooked AJ so much. And AJ
kind of shoved them away, and crosses like ow ow,

(35:12):
and Cross says to him, says, this new generation, you know,
not showing enough respect for the veterans. So what happened
with Cina really isn't all that surprising. And he mentioned
Logan Paul as an example. So Style said, you know,
I'm not John Cena, but he said, maybe the WWE
universe needs a reminder about who I am. So he

(35:33):
said that maybe I'll call out Logan Paul on the
show next week at Madison Square Garden, and Style said
as far as Cross playing the devil on his shoulder.
God knows my evil Ways and Styles came out to
that entrance music, right, wasn't it Evil Ways he came
out to for a while in TNA many years ago.

(35:56):
So off goes AJ and Cross is standing there and
he goes, that was easy, and he smiles. So I
just I love this gimmick where he just basically he
stirs as much shit up as he possibly can. Right,
he's following Sammy's ain't around and talking about Sammy other
people taking advantage of you. He's trying to get in
Sammy's head. Now he's pulling the same stuff with AJ Styles.

(36:20):
I mean, I've made the comparison to Just Joe, the
Just Joe character from like two thousand, I think it
was fucking twenty five years ago. He was the guy
that nobody knew who this guy was. But he would
just go around and he would just stir up shit
and most of the time he just made stuff up.
But he was, like I say, he was like the
woody Woodpecker of the locker room. That's basically what Carrion crosses.

(36:40):
So I actually I got a kick out of what
he did here. In this segment. We got our first
of three championship matches on this show tonight, Lyra Valkyria
defending the Intercontinental title against.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Ivy Nile by the Power of Voe. But first, it's
Vintage Coldtar.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Our second Coal Tar appearance in two days. I love it.
We don't get to see him very often, which is
probably a good thing, but it's a direction you can
fuck and Jacob just unfortunately, Jacob just told Cool Tar
where he can go, which is very rude. Thank you both,
Thank you both for the big super chat drops. I

(37:27):
appreciate it very much, very much. Ivy Nile here, she
tried consecutive dragon screws successfully and she took control. She
was targeting Lyra's left leg. This was the story of
the match. She was focusing on that leg and Lyra
sold for a while. She came back with a sitout
power bomb after a commercial, but her leg was just

(37:50):
it hurt her too much. She was in too much
pain to capitalize and make a cover, so Lyra went
for a Tornado ddt. Ivy stopped her momentum and deadlifted
her into a vertical supplex for a two count Lyra
went for her night wing finish, but she twisted her
knee and she fell down. Ivy hit a sit out
power bomb for two. Ivy applied an ankle lock to

(38:13):
the injured leg and Lyra was screaming in pain. She
was selling her ass off with this leg eventually got
a rope break. Ivy hit a German sup plex, missed
a running boot in the corner. Lyra followed with a
neck breaker and nightwing for the wind to retain the
Intercontinental title. It felt like a hard fought win for Lyra,

(38:35):
especially the way she was selling. I thought her selling
here was very good, just selling the hell out of
that leg. It ended up being a good match. It
was a struggle because nobody seemed to care. It got
a little bit better as the match went on. But
I've noted this before again, they just have not given
the fans reason enough to care about someone like Ivy Nile.

(38:59):
They barely given people a reason to care about Lyra,
and she's the champion, but they haven't given anybody a
reason to care about Ivy Nile. How have they portrayed
Ivy Nile as any kind of serious threat, right, They're
not supposed to care about her like she's a babyface.
But they're supposed to look at her and boo or

(39:20):
react in some way or oh, Lyra's title is in
real jeopardy tonight. They've done nothing. They've done nothing to
communicate that to people. So they go out there and
they have mostly a dead match, which is too bad
because it was a good match. It was good. I
enjoyed it. But now they've also teased Raquel Rodriguez as
the potential next challenger for the Icy title, and that's

(39:44):
not gonna happen. Raquel's already got a title. I don't
see of all the people that I could see potentially
being a double title holder on the show, Riquel Rodriguez
is not going to be a double title holder. But
they are building her up to be the next challenger.
It looks like, for I'll say this, at least she's
defending the title now. She went dormant for a month

(40:06):
after she won it. Now at least they're getting her
on TV and defending the title. That's all you can
ask for. It's better than sitting in the back and
doing nothing. Speaking of in the back, Jackie Redman tried
interviewing Seth Rollins as he was marching through the back,

(40:28):
Rollin spotted sea On Punk nearby, so she couldn't even
get a word out of him before he spotted Punk
off in the distance, and so Punk spotted him. They
charged at each other. We got another brawl, and so
security quickly intervenes. Adam Pearce is ordering them to stay apart. Now.
They also aired a clip. This was very interesting. They

(40:50):
aired a clip one short clip from Punk's promo earlier,
right before Rollins came out and the brawl began, the
part where Punk men Becky Lynch and so I see that,
and I wonder was that done for a reason. My
mind starts to wander, and I wonder, you know, could

(41:13):
this potentially be a setup for something involving Becky Lynch
and a returning aj Lee at some point if the
words start flying back and forth and they prolonged this
and this, let's say ends up as a triple threat
and they continue to feud heading into WrestleMania. I mean,
this could all be blown off next week for all

(41:34):
we know. But if this is going to be dragging
out for a while, wouldn't that be something If they
use this as kind of the spark and this is
what leads to a Becky Lynch return and then an
Aj Lee return seems unlikely. I think that if aj
wanted to come back, she would have been back at
one of the Royal Rumbles in the last few years.
But it was something I thought of here. I say,

(41:56):
I wonder if they replayed that clip for a specific reason.
I have in checked to see if Becky or aj
or anybody's actually commented or tweeted about it, but just
thought just some food for thought. So after a commercial break,
Rollins and peers. They're outside the building now and they're arguing,
and Rollins he wants to finish Punk, and he threatened

(42:19):
to do to him what he did to Roman Reigns
by making sure that he does not go to wrestle Matie.
He said, I'm willing to die on this hill, and
Pierce says, you know what, then, okay, fine, I'll tell
you what. Next Monday night, we're going to be at
Madison Square Garden. It's going to be you and see
him Punk one on one to settle this inside a

(42:39):
steel cage. Now, get back on your bus and don't
come out because Rolin's bus, I guess, was parked right there.
And Rolin seemed happy with that news, and he went
on his bus and they had a couple of security
guards standing outside the bus. I don't know what they're
gonna do, but we never saw Seth again after that.
So they made that match official, and again, that's a

(43:00):
huge match. That's a huge match. Now, if you would
have told me last year when it looked like we
were gonna get punkin Rollins at WrestleMania and then Punk
got hurt, that we would eventually get the match and
then a rematch and they would both be on Netflix
and they weren't. They were not going to be at
any of the ples I would have said, you're out
of your fucking mind. Right. That's that's a WrestleMania match

(43:21):
right there. But this will be their second match on Netflix, right,
not not on a ple e. They may end up
on the WrestleMania card again in a three way match
for all we know. But it could all come to
an end next week. It really just depends on whether
or not they want to do Roman and Seth and
kind of branch off of this focus on that and

(43:43):
put Punk in a match maybe on Night one involving
the bigger names, you know, the Scena rock Cody stuff.
You can work punk into that and it would be
very seamless. You know, it really would be punk and
directly point to what happened to the chamber and say, look,
you know all of this, it basically just sort of

(44:04):
conspired to cost me what should have been my shot
at WrestleMania Sena, your corporate stooge. Yeah, it was legal,
but you know, he took advantage of a situation that
never should have happened. The only reason that sina one
is because Rollins, who was already eliminated, stopped my fucking
headed and you saw an opening and you took advantage

(44:24):
because you're a scumbag that should have been my spot.
Wouldn't be very hard to work him into things. We
had Ludwig Kaiser who was standing in the ring in
his casual wear. He was not dressed for combat tonight,

(44:44):
and he said that he took all the attention that
was focused on Pentam put it on himself. So Kaiser
said that he is a future world champion. I don't
know about that. I think that I could absolutely see
him as a future intercontinental champion, a future world champion.
It's a harder cell. So Kaiser said that if Penta

(45:09):
thinks that they have unfinished business, he should reconsider what
John Cena did to Cody Rhodes was nothing compared to
what he is prepared to do to him. Soa Kaiser
said that Penta will know what fear feels like once
he has done with him. That brought out Penta and
he took Kaiser down with a hurricanana skinned the cat

(45:32):
used his legs to pull Kaiser out over the top
rope to the floor, and then he hit him with
a flip dive. And so Pentas stood tall here at
the end of the segment. Here, so he got good
heat during his promo, and then it was all taken
away when he was laid out once again by Penta.
And I can't talk about Penta without talking about the

(45:55):
big news of the day outside of what happened on
this show tonight with Rhea Ripley. The big news of
the day is that Ray Phoenix is a free man.
He is free from his aw contract. I don't believe
there's any strings attached. There's no noncompete period. As far
as anybody knows, he's a free man and he can

(46:15):
sign with whoever he wants and go and do whatever
he wants whenever he wants. He got exactly what he wanted.
Tony Kahan has basically taken all of the malcontents, if
you want to call them that. In some cases I
guess maybe, but he has taken all the people who
were not content to remain with AAW and clearly wanted
to leave, and he has now given them what they wanted.

(46:38):
Alistair Black Gone or Malachiah. I'm already thinking about an
Alistair Blackbriturre, which is inevitably coming very soon. Alistair Black gone,
Miro Gone, Ricky Stark's gone, Ray Phoenix gone. Is there
anybody else I'm missing? Is anybody else still under contract
that needs to be let go that wants out that
we know of? I think those are the names right

(46:58):
as far as we know. I don't know what war
Wardlow's doing. Poor Wardlow. He's been radio silent. But Ray
Phoenix was the last of the bunch, and he had
many many more months that was added onto his deal.
If Tony Khn wanted to, he could have kept him
under contract for much of this year and for all
of the anger that was directed at Tony Kahn in

(47:18):
the hashtag you know free Phoenix. He did, so you
know what, you got to give the guy credit. I
don't know what kind of understanding they came to or
what may or may not have been signed, or remember
what Ray Phoenix was tweeting about, inhumane treatment and stuff.
It sounded like he had a story to tell. It's
very possible maybe he signed an NDA and he's not

(47:40):
going to be talking about anything. Frankly, even if he
didn't sign an NDA, if something happened and he wanted
to talk about it and it was going to be
some big controversial thing, I think we all know where
Ray Phoenix is going to end up. Ray Phoenix is
going to end up very soon on WWE television, very
likely teaming with his brother. And if I'm Ray Phoenix,

(48:04):
you know what I got exactly what I wanted. I
would not be getting down in the mud and slinging
mud or causing controversy and shooting and telling stories because
it's just there's no point. Now is not the time
for that. There's gonna be a lot of people very
curious to know what he meant by what he tweeted.
I don't know that he should have tweeted it in

(48:24):
the first place. But whatever that was, I'm not so
sure that we're going to be hearing about it, and frankly,
I don't think we should. If I'm Ray Phoenix, I'm
keeping a low profile, and if I'm going to WWE,
I'm keeping my head down and I'm going to just
go and I'm going to focus on that. I'm going
to start all fresh and all new on that roster.

(48:46):
I'm not going to look back. I'm not going to
cause all this controversy. I don't think we're going to
be hearing anything salacious or anything in the near term.
I don't think I could be wrong, But anybody wondering
about that, I just think if you're a Ray Phoenix,
better to just focus on what is ahead of you
and not what's behind you. There's always time to go
back and tell stories that need to be told. I

(49:09):
don't think now is the time for that. I'm sure
he's very happy. I'm sure Penta is very happy, and
I think that if you're Penta, Penta has a really
good thing going right now, all by himself. But I
think Ray Phoenix needs Penta more than Penta needs him,
because Ray Phoenix is a tremendous talent he I mean again,

(49:30):
he's just you watch him and the things that he does,
it just it's crazy. And there are certain performers like
that in the business right now. When you watch them,
they just do things that shouldn't you shouldn't be able
to do, right. They're just fun to watch. He doesn't
have the kind of charisma that his brother has. On promos.

(49:53):
I don't know that I've really heard much from him,
frankly on promos as much as I have from Penta.
Penta's being given more of a chance to talk now
in WWE than he was in AW I don't know
that Phoenix has that. You know, he's got the in
ring stuff down. He can dazzle you, But right now,
I don't know that there's much more to it than
that Penta has something more. Phoenix, though, I think, would

(50:17):
benefit greatly by being paired up with Penta and you
just reunite the Lucha Bros. And certainly that would be
a shot in the arm for the tag team division.
So as I look ahead to WrestleMania, one idea that
you've heard me talk about is the possibility of Raymystereo
and Penta taking on the New Day. I still think

(50:37):
there's a possibility that could happen. As you'll see later
on in the review when I mentioned the LWO, We're
already getting a match next week involving Ray and the
New Day. So I don't know that that is the
plan now, but I like the idea of the Lucha
Bros and The New Day at rest. If there's a

(51:01):
way for us to get to that, I mean, that
would be a tremendous match. That is, of course, if
they bring Ray Phoenix in and debut him before WRESTLEMANI
it's tough when you debut somebody knew this close to WrestleMania.
It could kind of get lost in all the noise,
and the WrestleMania card may already be mostly set, and

(51:22):
so if there's no role for them, why not wait
until after WrestleMania and debut them. But I think there's
a spot, There could definitely be a spot on that
WrestleMania card to do that match. If you have the
chance to do that match, I think you do that match.
Even if it's the kickoff to a program. Right, it's
not just like a one and done, but it's the
start of something. It could start at WRESTLEMANI you could

(51:43):
do the first match a WrestleMania, you know, and then
we can get a whole bunch of matches with them.
But that would be a great fucking match to do.
We'll see. But Ray Phoenix no longer with AW it's
a brand new it's a new day for Ray Phoenix.
Maybe it'll be a new day for him at wrestle Media.
Two Big G says, maybe he can come in at

(52:05):
wrestle Media. Hey, you could work an angle in some
way where maybe he shows up and debuts at WrestleMania
like they did with Cody when he came back at
Mania a few years ago against Seth. There's always a way.

Phoenix you know, we haven't talked about that possibility that
they may change his name. We were for Ricky Starks
to Ricky Saints. We can't be sure that he's going
to come in as Ray Phoenix. We already have Ray Mysterio.

(54:57):
They may not want another Ray, could just be Phoenix.
We go backstage. Kathy Kelly congratulated Bianca Belle Air on
her elimination Chamber win, and if you looked in the
background during this segment, you could see Natalia and Maxine Dupree.
We're having a conversation. I mean, Triple Ah does this

(55:19):
a lot with these backstage segments. Sometimes it means something.
Sometimes I think he just wants the background noise kind
of just to get people talking, like, oh, what's going
on back there? That it could have just been as
simple as that. I don't think it's necessarily a storyline.
Speaking of Natty, by the way, I don't know if
you saw the news that broke tonight, Natty is going
to be making her Blood Sport debut. Josh Barnett is

(55:42):
doing a Blood Sport show the Thursday before WrestleMania in
Las Vegas, and I think it was just announced tonight
under the name Natty Knightheart. She is going to be
making her Bloodsport debut. We haven't seen her do much
of anything since she resigned. She signed this big new
contract with the company. She was like, there was talk
about what's she going to do? Is she going to resign?

(56:03):
Is she not going to resign? So she resigned and
then we never we never saw her. Not that they
were doing a lot with her to begin with, but
you know, you signed somebody to a contract, you would
think that they might have something for them to do.
So this is the first real thing she's doing, you know,
since she's signed that new deal. So Kathy asked Biaka

(56:24):
about what went down to the chamber involving Jade and Naomi,
and Beanca said, out of respect for the two of them,
she has not been able to talk to I guess
either of them yet. I guess they've been off the grid.
So she doesn't really want to comment on that, she said.
Regardless though, of who wins the match tonight between Rhea

(56:44):
and EO, you cannot spell WrestleMania without est, which is true.
Which is true. Although there are people who sometimes tweet
me on social media who I would be willing to
that if they spelled WrestleMania, they probably would not spell
it with the st God only knows how they would

(57:06):
spell it. You should. You should see some of these tweets.
I mean, I'm just saying it's ridiculous. So footage there, Oh,
here we Go is one of my favorite segments on
this show. We get footage of a pre tape vignette.
It's Chad Gable. We haven't seen him in weeks. Remember
he said he was going off to figure out the
dark arts of Lucha Libra and that was like three

(57:26):
weeks ago. He is walking the streets of Mexico. It's
at night. He's roaming the streets. He's wearing a suit,
and he's approaching random people with like a business card,
saying do you know this guy? Do you know this guy?
And they're all ignoring him or laughing at him. So
he's going around and he's looking for the master of

(57:47):
the dark arts. So he ends up in a dark alley.
I mean, he flies down to Mexico and he finds
himself in the middle of the night in a dark alley.
It's not a good place to be. It's in a
dark alley, and he finds this man. He looks like
an old man. We can't really we can't see his face.

(58:09):
He's kind of a shadowy figure. He looks like Gandalf,
like Mexican Gandolf, I guess, but like he's fucking ancient
whoever this guy is, or you can say he's wise, right,
he's a wise man. And the man tells Gable, you
cannot fight what you do not understand. You must become lucha.

(58:31):
So he pulls out a box. And now I'm thinking, like,
what's in the box? Great fucking movie, Why won't spoil
it for you? What's in the box? Right? What's in
this box? So he goes to give him the box,
but he wants something, and Gable pulls out like a
lot of bills, look like one hundred dollars bills, and

(58:53):
he peels off one and the guy's like more, gives
him another one more. So he's just he's feeding him
like five bills. And then finally he hands over this
box and the man tells Gable that now you have
power that is beyond your understanding. Gable opens the box

(59:15):
and he looks pleased, and he goes to pull out
whatever's in the box, and of course just as he
goes to pull out whatever whatever it is that's in
the box, they cut away so we couldn't see what
it was. I would fucking die if he shows up
on RAW as the new Mister America and he's wearing
Hulk Hogan's old Mister America mask. We have the return

(59:36):
of Mister America for the first time in twenty two years.
That's how long it's been twenty two years. He'll show
up as the new Mister America on this show. Obviously
it's a mask. I mean, what else would it be.
What else would be in the box. It's obviously a
Luta mask of some kind who it belongs to that
have some special power. I'll tell you what. One of

(59:59):
the reasons I I think I like this segment so much.
It reminded me so much of Luca Underground. The way
this was shot and done, I swear it reminded me
of a scene that you would see on Luca Underground.
Maybe that's why I liked it so much. I don't
know if we're gonna get more or if this was
the only one. Now Gable's got his box and now

(01:00:20):
he's gonna show up with whatever was in the box. Again.
He may show up next week as the newest addition
to the luchadors on this show, We're gonna have Lucha Gable.
I don't know. All I know is this all this
talk is centering around luchador's the whole idea of like
the Dark Arts. I do think that Alistair Black and

(01:00:44):
Zelina Vega they might have some kind of a school
or gym or something that goes by that name. And
I know Malachi is not a luchador, so it doesn't
really make a lot of sense. But like, could this
be tied into maybe him returning, I don't know, probably not,
probably not, but I don't know. Some people are saying
Ray Phoenix. Could Ray Phoenix be tied into this? Or

(01:01:05):
could they use this as some way to debut Ray Phoenix?
You know what? Uh hey, that wouldn't be a terrible
idea either, if they don't go the Lucha Bros route
right away. Somebody mentioned before you could debut him at WrestleMania.
Maybe this all builds to Chad Gable in his Luca mask,
showing up at WrestleMania and he doesn't know who his

(01:01:27):
opponent is going to be. He is throwing out an
open challenge to any luchador in the world who wants
to challenge him. He has now mastered the dark arts,
he has his mask. Anybody who wants to set foot
in the ring with me, you show up at WrestleMania
and will go one on one and that's how they

(01:01:48):
debut Ray Phoenix. What a debut that would be for
him to make his fucking debut at WrestleMania. Chad Gable
all he does is eat losses anyway, so I mean
it wouldn't be any different than any other Chad Gable match.
Of course, you would fucking lose, But what a great
way that would be to introduce Ray Phoenix. That could
work too. I hope we get more of these segments,

(01:02:11):
though I enjoyed this one. We had the war Raiders
against the Creed Brothers for the World tag team titles.
The Creed Brothers, of course, were part of American Maid
and I thought, well, maybe their luck will turn. Ivy
Nile didn't work out too well for her earlier tonight,
but maybe it'll work out well for the Creeds. I

(01:02:33):
pretty well figured once Ivy lost how this was going
to go. So after a break, Julius hit Eric with
an angle slam, and Brutus Creed followed with a four
to fifty splash for a two count. Julius gave Eric
a superplex, but Brutus missed the moon salt. Ivar went
for a moon salt next, which will never not be impressive.

(01:02:57):
It's like when Vader used to do the Vader salt
off the top, but he missed. He did a belly
flop in the ring. Brutus rolled out of the way.
Julius followed with a shooting star press for a two count.
So this whole sequence from the missed moonsalt by Ivar
to the Shooting Star was very cool. Pat McAfee on

(01:03:17):
the Shooting Star gave a shout out to Billy Kidman,
and this looked a hell of a lot more graceful
than any shooting star I ever saw Billy Kidman give.
Billy Kidman. I mean, he had some horrendous shooting star presses,
so I mean every time he did one it looked
so just out of control, reckless. I remember when he

(01:03:40):
hurt Shavo that time on SmackDown. The way he landed
his knee just came right down on Chavo's face. I
remember that I don't know if he heard anybody else
with it, but like every time he would do it,
even in WCW, not just in WWE, like I held
my breath because it just looked like somebody who was
doing it for the first time. You just never knew
how or where he was gonna land. So, yes, I mean,

(01:04:04):
what do you say, shooting star press. Yes, Billy Kidman
is probably the first person I think of, well that
in Brock unfortunately, but yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't compare
the shooting star Press that Julius Creed did here to
Billy Kidman. This one looked a lot smoother. So the
Creeds tried for the Brutus bomb. Eric slipped out though,

(01:04:27):
and Brutus got nothing but air on the way down.
There was nobody there. Ivar smashed Julius up against the
side of the led board outside the ring apron. He
was basically sitting up against it, and he came flying
in with a crossbody, and then the war Raiders hit
Brutus with their war machine finish in the ring to

(01:04:50):
retain the tag team titles. Charlotte took lessons from him.
Charlotte doesn't. Yeah, but Charlotte doesn't do that move right.
I've never seen Charlotte Flair do a shooting star press.
Oh my god, she probably lands on her feet if

(01:05:11):
she did one. The thing with her is her legs
are so damn long. That's why she lands on her
feet sometimes with her moon salt. Yeah, Billy Kidman, she
He still works for w w A. I don't know
what he's doing now. I'm pretty sure he's still in
the gorilla position. I think he. I know he used
to time the shows out, which was the job I

(01:05:33):
think that Gerald Briscoe had for many years. He might
still be the one who times things out. But yeah,
he still works there. He's worked there for many years.
Used to be married to Tory Wilson, and then Tory
Wilson ended up together with Alex Rodriguez. Alex Rodriguez got
his uh well, I won't say it, but very interesting

(01:05:53):
the way things go in life. Sometimes this was fun.
The fans were quiet until the Creed started buck stand
out some big moves, and then they came alive and
I thought, the Creeds look great here, But they lose
yet again. You could add them to the list of
losers coming out of American made Gable is going to
be very disappointed when he returns from excursion. He's on

(01:06:17):
his excursion right now, so when he returns, he's not
going to be very happy. But I'll tell you why
I'm happy that they didn't win. I'm happy they didn't
win because I feel like the New Day, I mean,
unless they're going to do New Day and the Lucha
Bros and then it doesn't really need titles. But I
feel like the New Day they have to have the
tag team titles. If not going into WrestleMania, then they

(01:06:41):
should win them there. But they got to find a
way to get those belts on them. So if the
Creeds had won, then you have two heeled teams. Doesn't
really work. So long as the Viking Raiders have those titles,
it's a lot more likely that The New Day would
would lift those belts off of them because there's really
nobody else right now as far as tag teams. That

(01:07:03):
stands out obviously if they put the Lutabros together, but
then I don't think they would be beating the war Raiders.
I feel like there has to be some intermediary team.
Give them to the New Day, let them go on
a heel run as tag team champions, and then they
could always drop the belts to the Lutabros if they
end up together. We got a recap of Kevin Owens

(01:07:23):
win over Sammy's Aye in their unsanctioned match at the
Elimination Chamber. Michael Cole then told us that Sammy reaggravated
his neck injury and has some spinal issues and some
nerve issues. Of course, Randy Orton came back that night
try for the punt kick. Kevin Owens was able to
avoid it. That's the big spot now to build to

(01:07:45):
a WrestleMania between now and media, He's got to try
to kick this man's head in and he's got to
fail every single time. And when we get to Mania,
that's when we get the payoff and he kicks this
guy right in the head, and then Kevin could take
a well deserve vacation for a few months and then
come back fresh and go into his next program. I

(01:08:05):
look forward to a CM Punk Kevin Owens program at
some point. I hope that's something we get later this year. Right,
there's there's other people for him to work with, but
everything needs to build to that punt kick. They gave
you a little taste of it on Saturday, but they
weren't dumb enough to give it away. On that show.
We got a video promo that aired with members of

(01:08:27):
the LWO cutting various promos, walking Wild Cruise, Del Toro,
Dragon Lee, and then Raymisterio popped up. First time we've
seen him since New Day beat him up a few
weeks ago. Ray said that he and Dragon Lee would
give Kofe Kingston An Xavier Woods the worst Monday of
their life next week in Madison Square Garden when they

(01:08:47):
faced them in a Tornado tag team match, and Ray
in Spanish said New Day sucks, and then Dragon Lee
said the same thing, but in English. So there you go.
Another big match sign for the show next week. Jackie
Redmond interviewed the Intercontinental Champion bron Breaker up in the stands.

(01:09:10):
I'm pretty sure this was during the commercial break, so
many of you may not have seen this segment, and
I would consider that to be a good thing because
one thing about bron Breaker. Now, clearly he's being positioned
as a babyface, but he has had a cool factor
about him. He comes out there, he's not smiling right,
he looks he's very intense and He's very explosive and

(01:09:33):
he just beats the hell out of people, and the
fans love it right, and they bark and it works well.
In this segment here she is interviewing bron Breaker and
he said it takes courage. He's talking about the judgment day.
He says, it takes courage to be Dominic Mysterio walking
around with a dirty, dirty Sanchez excuse me, dirty Sanchez

(01:09:57):
the mustache every day, or to be Carlito the apple Man.
And then it got bad. He says, you know what
they say, I'm just I'm gonna just tell you exactly
what he said here. Okay, this is what he said
verbatim here in this segment. This. I hope this did
not air on TV. He said, you know what they say,

(01:10:21):
an apple a day keeps the doctor away. But you
better stay away from that bron Breaker and his spear
because I hear it strikes fear. But if it's a
fight that you're looking for, or maybe even a grapple,
I will gladly kick all your asses. How about them apples?

(01:10:46):
This was fucking bad. This was you know what this was.
This was something that like Vince McMahon would would right
himself and think that it sounds cool, and he would
want his top baby face to go out there and
say it on TV and then smile at the end
of it. That's what this reminded me of. This was
not quite like suffering suck atash. This was not as

(01:11:07):
bad as that. But he was trying something here. Maybe
it was his idea and it just didn't work. And
he tried to get people to bark and they barely barked.

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
It was it was.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
Bad. Yeah, it definitely sounds like something that was written
for him, but maybe he was trying something himself. It
didn't work. He came off so uncool, and that's the
worst thing you could do, because the guy is naturally cool.
And the reason he's cool is because he's not out
there reciting stuff that sounds forced and phony and doesn't

(01:11:39):
fit his character. Please don't have him do this again. Please,
I beg of you. I beg of you. Let this
be a one and done. An apple a day keeps
the doctor away. You're looking for a grapple, Make sure
you eat your apple. Fucking horrendous. So anyway, that brings

(01:12:03):
him to Finn Balor, he says, and with that Balor
made his way out to the ring. I think what
happened is they came back on the air for everybody
else once Balor was already in the ring, so they
picked up with it from that point. So Balor said,
the only reason Breaker is still the Intercontinental Champion is
because the judgment they has allowed it. And Breaker said

(01:12:23):
that it's because he's a dog. Balor said he'd choose
up rookies like Braun said that he'll put Breaker down
when they meet. So Breaker headed down the steps. I
guess that was fighting words. If somebody says they're going
to put you, put the dog down. That brought him
down the steps. He made his way to ringside, hopped
the barricade. Carlito tried to sneak attack him. He took

(01:12:45):
out Carlito Dominic Mysterio dove at Braun, but he got
supplexed on the floor overhead, belly to belly, throw and
down goes dom Get your apple and then don't forget
to drink that snapple. Thank you, Sidro. I haven't had
snapple in the ear. Do they still have Snapple? I
haven't had snapple in the ears. I assume they must

(01:13:08):
still have it. Oh man, this guy's dropping rhymes. So
Breaker enters the ring and he took a sling blade
from Ballor. Breaker fought back. He guerrilla press, slam, military press.
Balor up and slammed him, and then he ran the ropes.

(01:13:31):
He was going for a spear. He was trying to
build up speed. Dominic reaches in and he saves Balor's
life and he pulls him out of the ring to safety.
Breaker ended up going outside the ring. He spotted Carlito
was around the bend, and so he built up some
speed and he speared Carlito. Carlito was always there for
collateral damage. Right. If they don't want to put any
of the other members in a position to look weak

(01:13:53):
and get beaten up, just have Carlito get beaten up
because it doesn't matter. Like that's his role on the show.
You could stick you could stick an apple in his mouth,
it doesn't matter. Stick an apple in his mouth and
roast them. That's his role on the show. Michael Cole
told us that the John Cena segment from the Elimination

(01:14:17):
Chamber had over five hundred million social media views, and
there was a video package recapping the entire segment. The
John Cena heel turn one of the most shocking segments
in the history of WWE. Fair to say, right, I mean,
this is a guy who nobody I would say nobody,

(01:14:39):
but a lot of people at this stage never thought
they would see the day. And I was one of
those people. Never thought I would see the day that
this man would turn heel. He was their golden goose,
he was their guy, their anointed guy on top. Basically
had a run for fifteen years almost right, not exactly,
but like he was, he was on top longer than

(01:15:02):
almost anybody else, certainly in the modern era, even Hogan.
Hogan didn't have that long of a run before he
left to go to WCW. Brent Sean, you can go
down the list of different people and he outlasted most,
if not all of them. All right, me but undertaker
on that list, I guess. But like he's in the

(01:15:23):
upper echelon of guys, and so you do a turn
like that, and yeah, it's gonna be pretty shocking. So
definitely made headlines all over the place. So they included
the uh censored version, of course, of Cody telling the
Rock to go fuck himself. But because we don't have
such censorship here, on the sound off. I'll play what

(01:15:44):
Cody said right here and now.

Speaker 2 (01:15:46):
Go fuck yourself.

Speaker 1 (01:15:47):
That's what he said, that's what he said. That's the
way it should be done. None of this, say none
of that. We don't have any of that. You want
the real deal, you get it right here, go fuck
that's right, that's right. That was my favorite moment right there.
When was the last time you heard just an F
bomb fly on purpose like that on WWE television? Probably never? Right?

(01:16:12):
The Rock used an F bomb once on Raw. Actually
it was The Rock and Chrish I'll never forget. It
was The Rock and Chris Jericho and they were on
stage and I think he was directing it at Stephanie
McMahon and they bleeped it. They bleeped it, but he
got I think he got in a lot of trouble
for it. So not very often that your top baby

(01:16:34):
face goes out there and drops an F bomb like that.
So Michael Cole said that he spoke to Cody Rhodes
and he had very little to say when he contacted Cody,
Cody said he's going to address the situation on SmackDown
this Friday, So you're gonna get a lot of people
now tuning into SmackDown on Friday night. I don't know
if the Rock will be there. I'm not expecting John

(01:16:57):
Cena to be there. I really don't think we're gonna
see Scena for at least a couple more weeks, which sucks,
But you could always get the Rock on the show, right.
Maybe they'll bring Travis Scott back. He'll be burning sage
again in the corner. Did you see that shot by
the way that he delivered to Cody. I don't know
if it was a punch or an open hand slap.
Holy shit, he could have broken the fucking guy's jaw.

(01:17:21):
I wouldn't be surprised if Cody told him, like, hey,
lay your shit in, but you gotta be careful, man.
When you got somebody who's not used to being out
there throwing shots like that and you're this close to WrestleMania,
can you imagine Cody gets hurt of all people like
everything is centered around Cody Rhoades. If he gets hurt

(01:17:42):
now like they're fucked, like they are fucked, that's the
last thing you want to happen. So Jay Uso was
walking around backstage and the Alpha Academy approaches him, Otis
thanks Jay for the assist earlier, and they shake hands.
They go their separate ways. Kathy Kelly catches up with

(01:18:03):
Jay and asks if Gunther's attack threw him off his game,
and Jay conceded that it did a little bit. And
at this point he got all fired up, and we
actually got some real fire from Jay USO. We don't
get this kind of fire from him in these promos
very often, so this is what I liked about it.

(01:18:25):
And he says, you know, he hears every week that
he can't do it and people are doubting him, and
Gunther is, you know, trying to get him to doubt himself,
and Gunther threatened ten weeks of hell. Jay said that
he would walk through the Valley of the Shadow of
Death and fear no evil. He said, he's crashing out
at WrestleMania. Gunther put him to sleep tonight, but he

(01:18:48):
just woke up a beast. He said, four letters, one word, yeat,
and then he left. He had no shirt on, and
she pointed out it was a Jackie or Kathy, I
don't know whoever it was. I think was. Kathy pointed
out that he just left the building. It's freezing cold
outside in Buffalo. It's Buffalo in March, so yeah, it's

(01:19:11):
pretty cold outside and he just left the building wearing
no shirt and off he went. So this was good.
I'd like to see more of this fire from Jay.
I think that you don't want to overuse the whole
everybody doubts me. Everybody's doubting me, Like, I don't think
he needs to be saying it in every single promo.

(01:19:32):
He's gonna have to freshen his material up a little bit.
But I like the fire that we got from him
here tonight, and it's something I'd like to see more
of instead of just relying on, you know, the very
basic promos where he waits and lets everybody chang yeat. Yeah,
you have to have those promos where when you get
laid out by the champion and you get embarrassed the
way that he was tonight, Right, you should be angry,

(01:19:55):
you should be pissed off, and you should cut a promo,
not as a cartoon character. You should cut a promo
with some like Cempunk did at the beginning of the show.
He wasn't out there trying to spit out catchphrases and
all this kind of stuff. He wanted to show that
he's pissed off coming out of the elimination chamber after
what happened, So more of this. They closed the show

(01:20:20):
with our third championship match of the night, Rhea Ripley
defending her Women's World Championship against Eo Sky, with Bianca
Bellair at ringside waiting to find out who she would
be challenging at WrestleMania. They did the title match ring
intros where they wait until the women are in the ring.

(01:20:43):
Alicia Taylor is doing the ring announcing whatever it was.
I mean, not that Riea is not over everywhere she goes,
But when they got to Rhea, like as soon as
Alisha mentioned, like she didn't even get her name out,
She's like from Adelaide, Australia, and everybody started going nuts.
I mean, she got a superstar reaction. So they were
big time inter Rhea, which also may help explain why

(01:21:04):
they were so shell shocked when this match was over.
So I don't know how it happened. It looked like,
very early in the match, it looked like Rhea lost
two fingernails because she's staring at her hand and she's
kind of favoring later on, it was the wrist. She

(01:21:25):
was selling the wrist and EO was focusing on the arm.
But I think she had two nails ripped out, and
I can't say that I know how that feels. But
and I'm sure she's had I mean, she had her
orbital socket damage. She's had worse injuries before. But man,
that fucking sucks. I don't think that that's a fun
day at the office right there. This woman lost two

(01:21:46):
nails and her championship all in one night. That's a
bad night. If you're Rea Ripley, that is a bad night.
So EO targeted the arm. Ripley avoided Leo's springboard move
at ten and then dropped her with a wicked big boot.
My god, she big booted her and she knocked her
inside out with a boot. It wasn't even a clothesline

(01:22:10):
and EO took this hellacious bump. It looked great. So
Ripley set up for her finish. EO countered into a
DDT and then EO paid tribute to each member of
Damage Control. She hit the corner kick that Dakota Kai does.
Then she went up top and came off with a
kyrie saying insane, elbow got a near fall. Then she

(01:22:32):
trapped Ria in the Oscal Loch. Unfortunately, we heard today
I think was fightful maybe who reported that Oscar still
a few months away from being back. So we should
not expect to see Oscar back on well, at least
I can't stay. Not back on TV, but not back
in the ring at least until sometime after WrestleMania, So
anybody wondering about her status, she's not expected back anytime soon.

(01:22:56):
But she got her in the Oscar loc Rhea powered
her way up to her feet, backed EO into the
corner to break the hold, but she still got Ria
down in the corner, and then EO came charging in
with the bullet trained double knees. Then she goes up top.
EO's going to go for the moon. Salt Riea gets
to her feet though and cuts her off, and then
she drops EO off the top with a just a

(01:23:18):
brutal backsuplex. She folded this woman up so much so
that if you waltch, they show the replay of it.
EO is very fortunate that her own knee did not
come crashing down into her own face. It was very close,
but she got folded up. That's how Ria got hurt.
Once Rhea, I want to say, she was in a
not a move. She was in a match with liv Morgan,

(01:23:41):
and I think she may have gotten ddted. And the
way that Rhea sold it when she when she landed
on her head, I think she may have kind of
flipped over and I think her own knee hit her
in the mouth. She hurt herself. So you gotta be
careful with these things. I mean, sometimes it's not even
a matter of somebody else's knee hitting you in the
face at your own fucking knee. But it looked brutal.

(01:24:05):
Riea got the prism lock applied. Leo struggled towards the ropes.
She was able to propel Riea forward though into the corner,
and Rhea went into the post ended up on the
floor outside. Riea climbed up on the apron and EO comes.
She's on the apron, now, okay, Ria is standing there.
Eo comes off the ropes and dives through the ropes

(01:24:29):
but over Rhea's body. And I held my breath because
I knew what she was going for. And she grabs
her for a sunset bomb and thankfully, Ria held on
for a couple of seconds, and then she had her
in a power bomb position and she power bomb Rhea
into the barricade. So then she put her back in
the ring, went up top and she hit the Genius

(01:24:50):
of the Sky Moonsalt, but to the back because Ria
was also selling her lower back during this match, so
she hits it to the back and she rolls Ria
over and she covers her. Rhea Ripley, though, kicks out.
Rhea rolls to the floor. EO wipes her out with
a wild suicide dive. Rhea makes a comeback though, gets

(01:25:12):
EO up on her shoulders in an electric chair position
and then drops her down face first on top of
the announced desk. Both women now are down. Jessica Carr,
the referee, is laying on the count. Rhea rolls back
inside of five. EO is struggling and Bianca is sitting
right there and she's cheering her eyes. She wants her
to get back in the ring, and she does and

(01:25:32):
EO gets back into the ring. At the count of nine.
Bianca is cheering EO. Okay, Rhea Ripley is in the ring.
She's got EO at her feet. She looks over at
Bianca bel Air outside the ring, and Bianca is cheering
for Eo, and this bothers Rhea Ripley. So Rhea leaves

(01:25:56):
the ring. This is how dumb she is. Okay, think
about that. She's in a championship match. She could she
could finish this woman off right now if she wants to.
She is preoccupied at Bianca cheering her opponent, so she
goes outside the ring and Ria goes over to Bianca. Oh,
so you don't want to face me at WrestleMania, and

(01:26:18):
she gives her a shove, so of course Bianca shoves
her back. She puts her hands on Rhea. The referee
is watching this. This is not happening behind the back
of Jessica Carr. Jessica is right there. She gets in
between them, so you can't even said the referee didn't
see it. Bianca, who is not in the match, put

(01:26:40):
her hands on the champion. She put her hands on
what are the participants in the match. This was not
a disqualification, I guess it's it's the referees discretion. So
she allows the match to continue. Ria gets back into
the ring and she pulls Eo up on the ropes
with her. She's standing on the middle rope. Eo, though,

(01:27:05):
counters out of what was going to be her finish riptide,
counters out of it with a rana and takes Rhea
off the ropes with it. She heads back up to
the top rope, and EO comes flying off the top
rope with the genius of the sky moonsaal and it
connects and she covers Rhea Ripley and she pins her

(01:27:27):
to win the Women's World Championship. We are six weeks
away from WrestleMania, and Rhea Ripley, who just won the
title back from Liv Morgan on January sixth, is no
longer the Women's World Champion. These people in the building

(01:27:47):
didn't know how to react to this because they loved
Rhea Ripley. I said she got a superstar reaction during
the ring intros, and they liked Eo, but they loved
Rhea and they just were not expecting it. They were
shell shocked. It was it was silent. It was not
like people going crazy big title change, or they love
Veo so much and everyone's jumping up and like it

(01:28:10):
was just it was quiet, like eerily quiet, and they
just couldn't believe what they had just seen. And I'm
sitting here watching this going this fucking woman deserved everything
that she got, because if you look at it in
the context of the match, why would she leave the
ring and be so upset that Bianca was cheering on

(01:28:30):
EO Sky? Why would she give a shit? I mean,
if you just think about it in like common sense terms,
the minute, she allowed herself to be distracted. And I
know these WWE people are easily distracted. I mean again,
you could you could throw a fucking you know, a
straw on the floor and they would be distracted. But
why would she allow herself at that moment to be

(01:28:52):
distracted enough that she would leave the ring and put
her hands on Bianca who never laid a finger on her.
And I think it was Chris. It was our boy,
the Mount Vernon kid, who made the comment. And I
agree one hundred percent. What did Charlotte Flair say to
Rhea Ripley all those weeks ago on TV when Ria
was begging her pick me, choose me for WrestleMania, and

(01:29:14):
Charlotte made the comment like, you're just a kid, You're
just a child. That's exactly what she was here she
proves Charlotte Flair right. She'd behave like a child, and
in the end it cost her. Even when the match
was over, they cut to Rhea and she's laying on
the floor outside and she's screaming she's such a bitch,

(01:29:35):
And you could audibly hear her screaming fuck. Like she's
screaming fuck and she's pissed. Maybe she's pissed it herself.
She should be. She has nobody to blame but herself.
Rhea Ripley looked like an absolute idiot in this match
and deserve to lose her title. So now we have
a new champion in Eo Sky, and I love the

(01:29:57):
I love the unpredictability of it. I love the fact
that Eo is seemingly going to be in a prime
position to WrestleMania this year. I mean she was in
a good position last year. She actually went into WrestleMania
as the defending champion last year with the other belt
and lost to Bailey. As things stand right now, your
WrestleMania match is Eosky and Bianca bel Air. It's not

(01:30:19):
going to stay that way. It's very likely going to
end up being a triple threat match and I'm okay
with that. I'm a little disappointed if we don't end
up getting Ria and Bianca one on one, But I
do think there's a way to give it to us
in some form this year and save the big singles
match for next year. You know, Bianca could end up

(01:30:42):
winning the championship. Bianca could kind of even go off
and do her own thing. I'm not saying they need
to feud for the year. You got to get away
from it, you come back to it later on, you
establish a little more history between these two. Maybe somebody
goes heal in between now and then. I'd love to
see a Bianca heel turn. You know what, John Cena
turned heel. Nothing is impossible anymore. Bianca bel Air is

(01:31:05):
like the John Cena of the women's division, and it
was hard for me to envision them turning her heel
if they haven't already done so. And Bianca's talked about
how I think she doesn't really want to go heal.
You know what, John Cena went here in his retirement year.
Anything's possible. And then maybe we circle back to it
in New Orleans next year and we get one on one.
You know, if we don't get it this year. That's

(01:31:26):
where I think it's going triple threat. Eosky though, could
very well lose the belt back to Rhea on TV
in the next few weeks, and we could still get
Ria and Bianca won on one. I don't know what
EO does if that happens at Wressell Maydia. That's the
only thing that she really should be in a good
spot on that show. But yeah, I mean, we're just

(01:31:48):
gonna have to wait and see, you know, exactly how
this is going to play out, and if she's going
to end up back in that match, how does that happen?
They maybe they tie it back to the fact that
the referee called for the disqualification. Now, Rhea put her
hands on Bianca first, but Bianca wasn't in the match
and had no business putting her hands on Rhea. Ria

(01:32:10):
could come back and say that should have been a DQ.
It's almost like a heel move, though, you know, I mean,
people like Riha enough. I don't think they're just gonna
turn against her because she looked like an idiot one night,
But she really does look like a fucking idiot. And
if they're going to use that as the argument here,
it's like, yeah, but you started it. Whose fault do
you think it is? She put her hands on you

(01:32:32):
because you touched her first, But they could always use
that as the excuse the referee should have called for
the DQ. Bad officiating, Adam Pierce, you got to make
this right, and she either gets inserted or she earns
the right to be added in some way, and you
end up with a triple threat match. So we'll have

(01:32:54):
to wait and see how it's going to play out.
This was not the outcome I was expecting, but I
think that's a good thing. Doesn't really screw up anything.
It's fine. I mean, some people might not like the
fact they took the title of Riha so soon. If
they're going to do a title change of WrestleMania, there's
this lesson that in some way. We'll see when we
get to WrestleMania. I guess to me, I don't think

(01:33:16):
it's a big deal. I think it keeps everybody on
their toes and it's okay to do a title change
like this on TV. Not everybody has to be champion
for a fucking year. Not everybody has to have these long,
sustained runs that culminated WrestleMania. It's okay to take one
of these seventeen million fucking championships that are on these

(01:33:38):
shows these days and change them in an angle on TV.
So great match. They work their asses off and I'm
looking forward to seeing where they go with this now.
Next week, Raw is going to be a Madison Square Garden.
We have aj Styles calling out Logan Paul. I thought
that was going to be a WrestleMania match. They're not

(01:34:00):
wrestling next week. Doesn't sound like so it still couldn't
be the Meniamat. He's just calling him out. They did
not advertise it as a match. We have a Tornado
tag with the New Day taking on the LWO. Jay
Usso is going to be wrestling Grayson Waller, and of course,
in the main event Steel Cage, Cmpunk one on one

(01:34:21):
with Seth Rollins. I would be stunned if we do
not get the return of Roman Reigns on that show
next week, and then we'll find out what Cmpunk's future
is going to look like. Is he gonna get his
wrestlemaniam main event or not this year? Next week I
think is going to tell us a lot. What did
you think of Raw coming out of the Elimination Chamber

(01:34:44):
ninety two point seven percent thumbs up seven point three
percent thumbs down for tonight's show. You should have seen
the pole result for Elimination Chamber. It's crazy. This poll
result here is not too far off from that one one.
Good shit though, Go vote at solid Monster. This week's

(01:35:08):
episode is sponsored by Express VPN. You know what I
would tell someone if they said that they were going
online with that ExpressVPN, I would tell them to take
out and add on a giant billboard, and on that
giant billboard they should plaster all of their passwords and
all of their credit card information. And then they would
ask me why the hell would I do that? And
I would tell them because that's what going online with

(01:35:30):
that ExpressVPN is like. It's like broadcasting your personal information

anywhere else I'm away from home, and because of that,
I've been making sure that I have ExpressVPN enabled on
my smartphone at all times, just to give me that

some good shows, man, we got some good shows. Hey,
we got Look, we got another pay per view coming
up this Sunday. AW has Revolution. It's can be a
very different kind of show. Elimination Chamber had four matches.

(01:37:58):
Revolution will probably have double digits. But there's some matches
on that show that I'm looking forward to too. Should
be good. Get some variety in our wrestling not such
a bad thing. Let's take a look at your super chest.
Thank you to everybody who has sent in a super chat.
I appreciate you very much. Let's go back and check

(01:38:22):
out the early birds here. Always start with the ones
that came in before I even went live. It's going
to be a crazy time, man, I'm telling you. Ricky
Cornflakes says, Holy Moly, that Eastern World Mexican man gave

(01:38:45):
Chad Gable a hologram mask. Oh my god, you've seen
those masks. They're charging fifty bucks for those shitty masks.
Lakers Pats the Scena attacks Stew the cameraman. Oh my god,

(01:39:07):
I forgot about him. I forgot about Stew the cameraman
and Nick. Nick says rear Ripley sells her soul to
the Rock so she could get inserted into the WrestleMania match.
Everybody's going to be showing up at the Rocks doorstep
now selling their soul. Yep. Sidro mentioned that if you

(01:39:33):
want Bonus to be the booker, we have a separate
Superchack goal going on in the chat. We're still too
off from that, but we are. We're getting at least
one round tonight because they see where it's seven hundred likes,
which is amazing. Yes, ste the cameraman needs to get
a beat down. I think, yeah, he's really pissed me

(01:39:53):
off for quite a long time. I would like to
see him get an ass beating on one of these shows.
I think he's a for one. Prince Vegeta, you can
build the hall of fame off guys who turned on Cody,
not only Rock and Sena, but AJ and Kevin Owens,
even Brock after WrestleMania thirty nine. That turn on Saturday

(01:40:15):
was brilliant. I guess people really don't like Cody. There's
something about Cody that apparently these people that come to
know him in WWE, they end up turning on him.
Maybe that'll play into the eventual Cody Heel turn. Kevin

(01:40:38):
was right the entire time. Thank you, Prince Vegeta. Sedrow,
do you hear about the guy who got left on

(01:40:58):
the side of the road. I completely read that wrong.
Let me start over again, Sidrow, Did you hear about
the guy who got the left side of his body amputated?

(01:41:20):
He's all right now. Jesus Christ and man at Seafood
Restaurant asked for a lobster tale waitress smiled and said,
once upon a time there was this lobster.

Speaker 2 (01:41:42):
Suck.

Speaker 1 (01:41:44):
I don't know what to do with you anymore. I
really don't Arabian nights. If Gable was given a mask, then,
shaking my head, he should have left WWE last year
like Ricochet did. One is a one is in a
better fulfilled spot for leaving, and the other is not.

(01:42:08):
You know, Ricochet actually isn't a better spot right now
than Chad Gable. I can't argue with that. I can't
deny that Antonio Taylor Hunter must have been tired of
being called safe, what with the Sena heel turn, then
EO winning the title tonight, Triple H is taking the
gloves off this year. Well, he's made a couple of

(01:42:30):
moves that have really shaken things up a lot going
into WrestleMania, which is great. Hey Ashley, thank you for
the nineteen ninety nine great episode. But I thought for

(01:42:51):
sure that Punk was gonna show up in Seth's bus
and toss him out the window. And I stayed this
as a Rollins fan slash apologist. Also love the WWC,
The WWC build, the WWC build, what does that mean?

(01:43:17):
Thank you, Ashley, Yeah, you know what, he should have
tried to break into the bus. That was a missed opportunity.
He should have tried to break into the bus. He
could have knocked out Seth and driven the bus. It
would have been like speed, can't stop the bus. The
bus is just it's just driving fifty. If it drops

(01:43:37):
below a certain speed, it blows up. It's a new
version of Speed starring Seth Rollins and cmpunk Oh the
Women's World Champion. Okay, I was like, WWC, isn't that
Carlos Colown's promotion. I thought you were talking. I thought

(01:44:04):
you were talking about Puerto Rico. You had me all confused.
Jason with the ten dollars super chat, my first Solobster superchat. See,
that's the best. You always remember your first. Sina apparently

(01:44:26):
made kids cry on Saturday nights and I'm here for it.
Only in pro wrestling can watching kids cry be satisfying.
But it was a sign of a job well done.
I loved it. I thought it was great. It'll toughen
them up. They will learn from an early age that
in life, sometimes you know, look, people betray you, and

(01:44:50):
people don't live up to the expectations that you set
for them, and it'll toughen them up as they get hold,
or it'll traumatize them for the rest of their lives.
Either way, I enjoy it. Sidrow with eight months of

(01:45:10):
channel membership. Why is bacon called bacon and cookies called cookies?
If you cook bacon and bake cookies, I hate that.
I'm I'm gonna say this, but you're kind of right.

(01:45:33):
I don't really know what the answer is, because that's
a really good question. That's a really good question. And no,
I have not heard them yet. I've been so swamped
that I will have to get to that. Prince Vegeta.
How do you see McIntyre and Priests playing out of manium?

(01:45:55):
Does Drew just lose again for someone that was the
MVP of twenty twenty five or he should be rewarded more.
I hope he will be. I hope. So I think
he wins. You asked me right now. We we're six
weeks out. I think McIntyre beats Priest and it's the
first of probably a series of matches between them. This

(01:46:25):
journey called life. Loved the elimination chamber, loved the historic
scenea turn he felt and looked like an absolute villain. Also,
I almost flipped the table seeing the CM Punk promo
and fight with Seth tonight. I love wrestling. When wrestling
is at its best, it's pretty cool. When wrestling is

(01:46:47):
not so great, you get a solo monster rant, which
is pretty cool too. Hopefully we won't get one of
those soon. JDF, thank you for the five bucks. I
appreciate it. Duff's vice heal John Cena, be like procrastination, disloyalty,

(01:47:07):
disrespect No, no, it's a lazy like be lazy, be disloyal,
be disrespectful. And then he goes around to little kids
and just says, give up. Just give up. Rarely. Even

(01:47:31):
if you ever happen to find yourself in the Tampa
Bay area, I'm a manager at Duncan. Your order is
on me. Just hit me up. Well, that's good to know.
I was in Tampa actually a year ago in January
for the Royal Rumble. That would have been very useful
back then. But if I have ever back there, I
will try to remember that I'm not a coffee guy,
so for me it would be a donut. I'd probably

(01:47:55):
hit you up for one of those marble frosted donuts.
Mister Rod or or the Munchkins, the Jelly Munchkins. Mister Rod,
congrats to Eo. I'm becoming the new champion. If it's
gonna be a triple threat, so be it. I'm here
for it. Yeah, I'm just I'm glad she's in the mix.

(01:48:18):
I'm glad she's part of the mix, even if it
is brief. Reza Evening solo. If you ever happen to
find yourself in the San Francisco Bay area, I'm unemployed,
got yourself a high five, Just hit me up. I'm

(01:48:39):
not planning any travel to San Francisco, though, I'm certainly
not going to rent a car in San Francisco. Apparently
I know two people. I know two people, and I'm
just one person. I know two people. I'm pretty sure
it was San Francisco. They got their cars broken into.
The hell's going on over there? David theoring hit that

(01:49:04):
like button or Liver Morgan will visit you when you're sleeping.
Liver Morgan can visit me anytime she wants to. I'll
leave the door open. Ron says, what do you think
the plan is for rox Sande? Do you think her
and Cora will pan out and be major stars on
the main roster. I don't know about Cora. I think

(01:49:26):
that Roxanne is going to do very well, and I
think that they know she's going to do very well
because she she was the iron Woman in the Royal
Rumble this year. She was in the chamber and I
thought she's very well in the chamber, and I think
the heading into WrestleMania weekend, whether it's Mania or Stand
and Deliver, she'll be doing something with Bailey would be

(01:49:47):
my guest. But I think Roxanne's gonna do well.

Speaker 2 (01:49:49):
Cora.

Speaker 1 (01:49:52):
I'm a little iffy it depends. I think it could
go either way with her. I mean, she's got a character,
she's got her character work down in ring. I think
she's good. I just think that rock San is the
more well rounded performer of the two right now. Matt Fisher,

(01:50:12):
don't go messing with a country boy, a country boy,
a country boy. Don't go messing with a country boy.
Don't mess with a country boy. You know, it's a
sin that they have dubbed that music out of stuff
I believe they have on Peacock. I don't think they
use that music, and it's some like banjo theme they

(01:50:35):
use for like fucking Hillbilly Jim, I'm like, what is
this shit? Can't believe they took that out, em and m.
The last few weeks of wrestling has been awesome, from
Timeless winning the aw Women's title to seeing his soul
going to the Rock Punk and Seth and EO winning
the title tonight The Rock set it best. Wrestling is

(01:50:57):
cool again, eminem men, thank you again for the fifty
one that was from earlier. That wasn't even the one
that just came in. That was the one from earlier.

(01:51:19):
Jacob Gomez, first time donor, always saved the reviews for
work as they help pass time. Anyway. Prediction is Roman
gets involved next week in the cage match and we
get the triple thread at Night one, with the winner
being added to Scena versus Cody. See, I don't know

(01:51:39):
about that. Why would there even need to be a
stipulation like that, Like, what would be the necessity of
having that stipulation added when Sena has already earned the
right to challenge for the title by himself. That's the
part that I think you gotta do some real heavy
lifting unless it ties into the favor that Hayman os Punk.

(01:52:01):
If Punk can get that stipulation added, and maybe I
just don't know that you need to add that step.
I don't know what would be the reason for that.
Bace bear as I am so hyped for WrestleMania. This

(01:52:23):
journey called life. See I'm punk is the best in
the world to all the haters, Matt Fisher. Spend my day,
spend my days working hard on the go, but the
hands on the clock keep spinning too slow because I
can't wait to be alone with my baby tonight. Number

(01:52:53):
one almost Sapien with a ten dollars super chip. Why
did the elephants keep getting kicked out of the swimming pool?
They kept dropping their trunks retro Koh, finally we can
boost solo for that earn joke. You are one of us,

(01:53:18):
I said, you know why, how did Paul behar win
that trophy in school? He earned it, Matt Fisher. How
long does it take a boy scout to earn his
wrestling badge? Three seconds? Not a good one, Matt says

(01:53:50):
aj Versus Becky at WrestleMania forty one. Hey, look, I'm
just putting the idea out there. I'm not making any
prediction about that. I don't think that's going to happen.
But I'm just saying there may have been a reason
for that tonight, and then it would it could be
what brings her out of retirement. Riddict twenty six months

(01:54:14):
of Channel membership. I need Poppy playing EO to the
ring at WrestleMania. Let's fucking go. Hey, that'd be awesome.
I hadn't even thought about that. Yeah, I'd like to
see that. Aaron Tucker with a nine to ninety nine.
I'm happy for EO. You can see on her face
after the match, how happy she was, love how she

(01:54:37):
did damage control member moves. Might have to get tickets
to Raw next Monday, since I am in New York. Yes,
I don't know how many tickets they have already sold,
but they are in Madison Square Gard Well, they're in
Madison Square Garden on Monday, and then NXT Roadblock is

(01:54:57):
at the theater in Madison Square Garden, which is right
next door the next day. So it's kind of like
back to back nights at the Garden in a way,
and I won't be there at either one of them
because I'm needed here. Aaron Tucker, one more, keep up

(01:55:20):
the good work. You get me through work and workouts
and hours of gaming. Whatever helps you pass the time. Aaron,
I'm here. I'm always here, Number one, almost Sapien with
a twenty dollars super chat. Sina needs to get the
ultimate bodyguard to beat down Cody and soften him up.

(01:55:41):
A former champion in WWE and Japan. Hey, he's talking
about Tongaloa. He's hurt at the moment. Unfortunately, he says,
the largest roadblock he can find Omas. You know what
they did call him back from Japan. They stripped him

(01:56:02):
of the GHC Tag team title and or he surrendered it. Whatever,
Maybe they have a plan for him. Sidrow. Best part
of gardening getting down and dirty with your hose. Why

(01:56:22):
is it tough to have a threesome with a comedian?
They always pull out the punchline too soon? Where do
you find these? Have I seen the price or for

(01:56:44):
wrestle Mania the price? Yeah, I have seen the prices
for wrestle Maani I have. That's why I'm in no
great I Honestly, I'd be more interested just in going,
just for the festivities during the week and everything. I
don't even need to actually be at Mania itself. Reza
says the Rock only wants Roman for WrestleMania. Matt Fisher

(01:57:13):
our Truth against Sena at SummerSlam. No, I mean that
should be a Raw match or smack I can see
on the SmackDown now right, you can do that match
on SmackDown. Sina should do a few TV matches Aaron
with the fifty dollars super Chat just got home from
Raw and joining the stream. Not sure how it came

(01:57:34):
across on TV, but the punk promo and the Rollins
brawl was hot in the house. Oh, it came off
that way on TV for sure. We went wild for
the EO title win. That did not translate on TV.
It sounded like everybody in the building was just stunned, silent.

(01:57:57):
It says, was a fun show to be at live.
What's the consent on the show tonight? The consensus was
that it was a good show. I thought it was
a good show, and the Twitter poll had it in
ninety two percent thumbs up, so I would say most
people thought it was a good show, A very good show.

(01:58:17):
I see the timer, by the way, on the on
the Superchat goal, the timer is down to two and
a half minutes. I don't know how many more we
need I think one more. I think to just be
aware of that. For the bonus be the booker William
Valencia with the twenty bucks. Hey solo, I'm looking at
a possible ten man tag between New Day and American
made against LWO and Penta at WrestleMania. This plays into

(01:58:42):
the Chad Gable Luchidor story. I hope not. I just
I don't want them just sticking everybody in a match
like that. You got two nights, if you had one night,
I can understand it. It's like we only have so
many spots for matches. I don't want to see Pentages

(01:59:02):
shoved into a ten man tag.

Speaker 2 (01:59:09):
It's the amazing goom there it is Jerry Lawler loves
Gomfhar the Magnificent all hell goomfar.

Speaker 1 (01:59:20):
We have hit the goal. You can thank Eminem for
getting us to the goal. That fifty dollars bomb. Hey Eminem,
thank you. I'm gonna get your message in a second
Bofman Entertainment. They also announced that whoever wins the Women's
Royal Rumble goes to the main event of WrestleMania. So

(01:59:47):
oh well yeah, as far as Gunther and jay Usa, yeah,
I mean that's what they say, Charlotte Flair and Tiffany
Stratton are not made event in WrestleMania, so you are
right about that. Jeremy Rose first Raw on the road
to WrestleMania and Adam Pierces on his way to an aneurysm.

(02:00:11):
Dude needs a vacation and a few drinks. You're gonna
turn him into an alcoholic at this point. Guy's losing
his mind every week. E J slamp a perfect time,
a perfect theme for heal Seen. It would be God's
Gonna cut you down by Johnny Cash. There's even a
lyric that says when he said, John go do my will.

(02:00:35):
Undertaker got to use Johnny Cash for WrestleMania one year,
so why not John Cen. Rarely even Alistair Black against
demon Balor would cook? I could care, I could not
possibly care any less about Demon Balor. Just do Alistair
Black and Finnvalor Honey deep fried chicken with flavor, Bianca

(02:01:03):
bell Air and Eosky in ring chemistry is very underrated.
Oh I remember their match from Puerto Rico Backlash couple
of years ago. It was fucking great. Deep down this
chicken here won't be mad if either one of them
loses at WrestleMania. He also says if carrying Cross is

(02:01:28):
the devil, could Apollo Cruise be the guardian Angel. Both
wrestlers were using the just Joe gimmick. Yeah, I guess
Apollo was kind of doing the same thing on SmackDown
before he got hurt. He's not going to be doing
anything for a while though. Unfortunately he tore his peck,
so he's going to be gone for a while. I

(02:01:49):
think I think all that might just be forgotten about
by the time he comes back. Ashley with the fifty
Becky said, catching on, Raw, I don't think I need
to be the one to come get my man, And
then they had pictures of Punk and Roman wearing matching

(02:02:10):
gear from Saturday or Roxanne? You wrote Roman, I okay,
maybe she met Roxanne. She's deleted it, but I screen
grabbed it. So Becky did tweet interesting. I'm telling you
that there's something. There's something cooking there. There's something cooking there, honey,

(02:02:36):
deep fried chicken. If only Chris Rock and Will Smith
Brawl liked seth rawlins and see I'm punked it tonight
on Monday Night, Raw, keep my wife's name out your
fucking mouth rarely. Even does Penta really want to be

(02:02:57):
stuck in tag team purgatory with his brother? I would
want to keep my singles Run going. He is treated
like a big deal. I think he's treated like a
big deal.

Speaker 3 (02:03:05):
Too, absolutely, But just because they.

Speaker 1 (02:03:17):
Do a lucha Brothers Run doesn't mean you can't still
do Penta, you know, having singles matches, or even Ray
Phoenix having singles matches. Penta has got a good thing going, though.
I would be a little concerned also about doing anything
to disrupt that. But you know, I just feel like

(02:03:38):
he is in a better position to succeed as a
single where Ray Phoenix may not be as successful. So
it might be for the better to put them together
and Pente could still have his singles run. No one
is saying he can't have his singles run. Bass Bears
says Kanye would have been way better than Travis is today.

(02:04:03):
Opposite day. Are you saying the opposite of what's true?
Because that would have been fucking terrible. Keep him off
my fucking TV, Jeremy Rose. So Penta offers Ray some
help against the New Day, but it's Phoenix because Penta
is busy in his singles quest for Intercontinental Gold. I
think there's an ic multiman match. Yeah, I'm thinking a

(02:04:28):
multiman match is probably what we're gonna get. Don't know
if Penta is gonna be in it, but we'll probably
get a multiman match. Siderow says, gable segment, unfitting, camera
cut by leaf fitting. I think that's your worst one yet,

(02:04:50):
the Dapper Doctor. I know Sena just turned heel, but
just for shits and giggles, how would you book the
Sena redemption arct? Let me map it all out for
you right now. He wins the championship as a heel,
has a run with it for a number of months,
loses it, comes to realize the error of his ways

(02:05:14):
when the Rock gives him shit for it and has
to earn the trust and faith of the fans. Back
the step, the exact steps you take to get there,
the exact matches he has en route to getting there.
I can't map them out in ten seconds here, but
I said it on Saturday. There is a redemption arc

(02:05:35):
that will play itself out before this year is over.
That story will need to be told. Justin g that's
gotta be a conquista door Mass Hugh, our friend Hugh

(02:06:00):
Grection is here. Which female performer from WWF did Little
spotty teenage solo monster desecrate most socks imagining as his
lead lady in the home movie in his head. That
was a weird way that you phrased that. I struggled

(02:06:20):
mightily trying to get through that without stumbling over my
words because it was just written so poorly. Sorry it was.
I didn't desecrate anybody. I treated them all with great respect.
But I had a thing for I'm ashamed to say
it now. Sonny was quite a looker back in her day.

(02:06:45):
And Trish Stratus. I mean, of course Tris Stratus is
at the top of the list as well. And I'm
not gonna lie Marlena, Marlena, it was always so cold
in those buildings. Yeah, we have honey deep fried chicken

(02:07:08):
with flavor. I love to see Xavier Woods wearing Braves
outfits and while KOFE is wearing Celtics outfits, New Day
needs more heat. Best way to do that, piss off
New York. Yeah, absolutely wear some brave stuff. Fuck the braves.
Dwight with a ten dollars super chest second time super

(02:07:30):
Shed just put on the stream and was listening to
the Punk segment, I'm part of a parallel universe, the
shit talking towards Rock and Sena, smoke and mirrors, and
that favor gets him the World Heavyweight Championship. Well, we

(02:07:50):
gotta figure out how to square that circle then, because
if the Rock is the final Boss and he's everybody's
boss and he the boss of everything, why would he
allow that? Why would he want CM Punk to infiltrate
his WrestleMania main event between Sena and Cody? I agree,

(02:08:14):
I mean, the favor really should be used to either
get him a WrestleMania main event and or a title shot,
But you got to make him make sense and there
may be a way to do that. But it's hard though, because,
I mean, are we overestimating the power that Paul Hayman

(02:08:34):
has here to swing something like that, Like it would
have been an easier sell a week ago, but in
light of what's happened in the last forty eight hours,
it makes it a little bit harder. Nick Grosso, I'm
very happy for Eo. She is my favorite women's wrestler,

(02:08:55):
but they better not have her hand the belt back
to Rhea before WrestleMania. That would be terrible because EO
deserves to be involved at media. Sarah, I don't know why,
but I have a bad feeling that the Luca Bros.
Will end up either joining or feuding with the LWO. Well,

(02:09:18):
joining the LWO would be fucking terrible. Yeah, I don't
want to see that. You want to align with them
and help them for a match, that's fine joining the LWO. No, hey, Nick,
thank you for the nineteen ninety nine Rhea. They can

(02:09:41):
either have her face Bianca and if she beats Bianca,
she gets added to the match, or they can do
what they did with HBK Benoir and Triple ah and
two thousand and four, or maybe Becky comes back and
that is Rhea's wrestle media match. Yeah no, I mean
I mentioned that before, but I don't want to see that.
Ree gonna be in the championship match. Riya will be

(02:10:05):
added to the championship match. If any WWE superstar wants
he wants to curse and swear on the mic on Netflix,
I would make them pay it out of their pockets.
F words twenty five thousand dollars for two and fifty
thousand dollars for five. Boy, you'd be a real fun

(02:10:27):
person to work for. I wouldn't want to work for you. You
can't be the boss of me. Arabia Knight says, was
thinking how this NXT Mercenary group could get rolland what
if Matt Cardona returned to lead them in rex Shop.
He would inject life into the shallow men's division. I

(02:10:47):
think Cardona would do well actually in NXT right now,
more so than the main roster. But this this new
Mercenary group, Yeah, I'm gonna have to see more from them.
I don't really care right now, it's not grabbing me.
I don't really care. I enjoyed NXT this week. I

(02:11:10):
don't think I even mentioned them at all in my
review because I just don't care this journey called life.
Why do the writers have Rea lose? She's top tier? Yes,
she is top tier, and she's gonna end up in
the championship match at WrestleMania. You just gotta wait. She
will be in the match. She's not going anywhere. Jeremy

(02:11:34):
Rose so eo losing the title two years in a
row at WrestleMania. You know what, don't don't don't jump
to conclusions. I can if it ends up being a
triple threat match. I could almost see Rha and Bianca,
who now have real beef coming out of tonight's show,
going at each other and it ends up costing them

(02:11:55):
and EO squeaks out a win. If EO goes into
Wrestleman as the champion, it is by no means a
foregone conclusion that she's gonna lose, not at all. Aaron
with a twenty dollars super Chet just watched the finish
to Ria and EO on Netflix Crowd on TV was
definitely shocked. My section and the ones around me were

(02:12:16):
very excited and loved it, including me. EO Ria Bianca
will be amazing deep fried chicken with flavor. It's Ria
Ripley's own fault. Bianca just wanted to clean finish and
did not want EO to lose via countdown. Well he's

(02:12:37):
count out, you mean?

Speaker 2 (02:12:39):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (02:12:39):
Riha pulled a Walter White look. I said what I
said before. Ria Ripley was a blithering idiot on this show.
What she did made absolutely no sense. She deserved to
lose her title. She has nobody to blame but herself.

(02:13:04):
Darth Panic rumor has it the Rock will add two
more members to his faction. No, that's not the rumor.
Those are the social media accounts that are looking at
pictures from six months ago and drawing conclusions from the
rock going like this and this and you know, giving
gang signs and all kinds of shit. No reputable sources

(02:13:24):
talking about there being more members at it. There could be,
there could be a third man, but that's just social
media accounts that pedal this nonsense, and there is nothing
behind it at all that I would consider solid. So
right now I don't put too much stock into it.
Is it possible, Sure, it's possible, and people can have

(02:13:46):
discussions about who they think that third person should be,
But I see nothing credible to indicate that that's the case. Honey,
de Fried Chicken says optimist Prime. What's you wants you
to hit that like button and subscribe to this channel.
Megatron on the other, well, fuck Megatron rarely even. I

(02:14:09):
used to be addicted to soap, but now I'm clean.
Brandon Vasquez, Why is sixty nine afraid of seventy because
they once had a fight and seventy one. It took

(02:14:31):
me a couple of seconds, but I did finally get it. Honey,
deep Fried Chicken optimists for yes, Yes, Yes, thank you
Ultra Beast boys. Is it guaranteed that Sina beats the
shit out of our truth? It should be. It should

(02:14:54):
be guys jacking all of his moves. Alex with the
Ten says Cody needs to come out this Friday even
more pissed off than Punk was tonight. No smiles, no
high fives, no autographs, no woe. He needs to be

(02:15:14):
a babyface Homelander. Yeah, I don't think he's gonna be
all fired up in the way that Punk is, though.
I think it's with him it's going to be more
subdued because he was betrayed basically. You know, he was
someone who idolized John Cena. He has modeled himself to

(02:15:35):
be the Scena of this generation. So I think with
him it'll be more you know, betrayal, maybe like a
subdued anger. I don't think he's coming out and jumping
on the announced desk and dropping bombs on people. But yeah,
he should not be coming out and smiling and doing
the woe and all that that. I agree with. Holiday says.

(02:16:00):
With EO winning, it brings a sense of unpredictability to
the women's world title match of WrestleMania Rio will be added,
making it a triple threat. That is right, Devin says, well,
we get Sena versus Rock three this year. No retro

(02:16:24):
ko h John Cena should start the Break a Wish
Foundation and punk out kids like Million Dollar Man did
back in the day when he kicked the basketball away
from that from that kid. You know, he tells the
story if you believe him, DBIASI was at a rental
car like a rental counter at an airport somewhere, and

(02:16:48):
he was trying to rent a car and the man
who was working behind the counter made a comment to him,
and he looked at the guy and said, no way.
And the guy said that he was the kid that
he kicked the basketball away from. And He's like, what
are the chances? What are the chances that I would
run into this guy? So, I mean, that's what the

(02:17:10):
guy evidently told Dbasi.

Speaker 2 (02:17:12):
It's the amazing goom thah.

Speaker 1 (02:17:15):
Was it really him?

Speaker 2 (02:17:16):
Jerry Mower loves Goomfar, the Magnificent all hell Goomfar.

Speaker 1 (02:17:23):
Was it really him? Who knows, but it's a nice story.
Hey Aaron, Oh my goodness, Aaron with a fifty dollars
super Chad drop here at one twenty am. I love it.

(02:17:47):
I love it, man. We're just rolling off the momentum
from Saturday. Saturday was a fucking Saturday, you know, Saturday
was like on the streams Saturday was like a WrestleMania night.
That's what that was. We gotta keep that momentum rolling
as we go into WrestleMania. Eminem with the fifty one.

(02:18:11):
Cody and Raymisterio need to be a tag team. Everyone
turns on them every time. If Bianca loses the match,
either one on one or triple threat at WrestleMania, I
see her attacking Jade and admitting that she was the
one that attacked Cargill Luca Brothers at WrestleMania. Very possible.
So would the logic then behind Bianca revealing that she

(02:18:33):
was behind the Jade attack be that she just wanted
out of the tag team to get back into singles
and felt like she was being held down because Jade
got taken out and Bianca stayed in a fucking team.
She just went with somebody else. So it kind of
I don't know. To me, it kills the logic a
little bit if that's going to be the explanation or

(02:18:56):
It could just be that Bianca just felt like she
was being outshined by Jade. Was like the shiny new
toy that came in and she was jealous. It could
be as simple as that jealousy. Man, it's a bitch.
It could be just as simple as that. Doniyasu, I

(02:19:17):
was excited for Ria versus Bianca, but it's good to
seeeo get the title. Also, this is the CM punk.
He's got the best moves, only the best. He says,
this is the CM punk that I've been waiting for.
That goosebumps mocking of the rock is long overdue. The

(02:19:42):
Mount Vernon kid, Christopher Bennett, thanks for the shout out
about Rhea. My question, are you going to see the
Queen of the Ring movie? I don't have any plans
right now. I might see it eventually, but I wasn't
planning on running out to the theater to go see it.

(02:20:03):
Apparently Naomi is in the movie. She has a small role,
and I guess she was gonna be on the red
carpet and be at the premiere and all that, and
they pulled her because they want her to sell the injuries.
So imagine like you're Naomi and they happen to shoot
this angle right now when you're in a movie and
you're about to go do red carpet stuff and media stuff,

(02:20:24):
and they pull you and like, no, no, no, you
gotta sell the injury. You can't be a part of
all that. Eminem signed, sealed, delivered, double be the booker
still to come. Aaron with the twenty Roman reigns, went
from being the focal point of the promotion to him

(02:20:46):
not even being factored into the biggest story. Just shows
how big Cody is right now. Cody is better than Roman.
That's gonna get That's gonna get some feedback right there, Honey,
deep fried Chicken, Cody Rhodes. Cody Rhodes will call Steve Austin,

(02:21:13):
Shannon Sharp, and Vin Diesel for backup. All he needs
to do is call Stone Cold. I just want them
to make up for what we didn't get last year.
I want to hear the glass shatter, and I want
to see the rock take one more ass over tea
kettle stunner. That's all I ask. And I want to

(02:21:36):
hear the pop, and I want to see everybody losing
their minds when Austin marches down to the ring Jake
Jones brother solo. I almost don't even care what they
book now. I'm just happy with how everything is going.
Take care, Thank you Jake for the fifty. Jake is
a happy man now. He's excited now for this WrestleMania build.
He doesn't care what they do. He's just happy. RDG

(02:22:06):
For those who got priced out of WrestleMania this year,
they should do a watch party at the sphere. Like
they're gonna pay for it. You'd think they give a shit.
You know what would be cool?

Speaker 2 (02:22:19):
Though?

Speaker 1 (02:22:19):
They showed what the hell is the name of that place?
It's some kind of is it a restaurant like a
bar and restaurant? I forgot the name of it, but
it's got like a full screen view on a giant
wall or a giant projector of the WWE events and

(02:22:41):
then like rows of people sitting there. They have one
I think in Houston, and then they mentioned they have
one maybe in California. I forgot the name of it.
That looks really cool, Like I feel like that would
be a really cool experience to be in a place
like that watching one of these pls with like a
bunch of people on like the big screen it's almost
like the imax of WWE. That's what it is. COZM

(02:23:08):
COZM co s M. Yeah in La that there's one
also in Texas. I don't know if those are the
only two places. That's very cool. That's a very cool experience,
this journey called life. Cody needs Arn to come back
and pull pull out the gat on the Final Boss

(02:23:30):
and John Cena. Arn has to remind Cody to not
allow them to take him out of his car. Yeah.
You know what, if ever, there was a time that
Cody needed Ron, now's the time. Man, Arn's got to
pull out the glock. It's gonna be it for the

(02:23:50):
That'll that'll be it for Hobbs, He'll be done. Demitrius
Hodge with Triple H going into the Hall of Fame.
What do you feel about China XPOC and the Outlaws
getting their own inductions. I think that they're all worthy
of it. Not this year, though. I wouldn't put them
all in at the same time, so then it's just
like one big DX induction that sucks. I don't want

(02:24:11):
to see that. And they just take up every spot
in the Hall of Fame. Fuck that shit. Put Demolition
in the Hall of Fame this year. Now is the
time Triple h is going in. Michelle McCool is going
and put Demolition in the Hall of Fame. Enough of
this shit, Aaron says, Night one Solo Monster versus Hulk Hogan.

(02:24:34):
If Solo wins, he faces nineteen ninety two Rick Flair
on Night two. Yeah, no, thank you. We all know
I would win anyway. Donna Yasu, I hope seen as
Redemption does not involve a Rice in a lifetime. No,

(02:24:57):
I think we're done with that. Larry Jester ain't no
Grave was replaced with et by Katy Perry in a replay.
Because wrestling needs weird love songs for big events, why
not also hashtag Henta for ic Champ Number one almost

(02:25:25):
Safepen Gable got the mask of the greatest luchador ever,
Mister America. It's gotta be man, It's gotta be or
it could be the Wan Sena mask. You know. John
Cena is retiring this year, but he never said anything
about Wan Sena, his cousin Tactical butt Cheek. Tactical butt

(02:25:52):
Cheek ninety three. I still wonder what happened to the
first ninety two of them. So there's a fish in
a tank. One fish turns to another fish and asks
the fish, so, how do you drive this thing? Why
can't you find pigs hiding in trees because they can't
climb trees? Sola Monster is the goat Duff's VIDs. What's

(02:26:24):
a rabbit's favorite music? Hip Hop?

Speaker 2 (02:26:28):
Oh? Good lord.

Speaker 1 (02:26:34):
Suck. It's always that last part that gets me. It's
just that one guy. Kick Nator Becky tweeted after Raw
and said, catching up on Raw. I don't think I'm
the one who needs to come get my man with
the tweet. Rock Sande tweeted on Saturday. Yeah, apparently it's

(02:27:00):
been deleted, I'm told, but once it's on the internet,
it never dies. It's it's going to live there forever.
Rarely even would they let Sina go back to calling
his finisher the FU. Why not let Cody go out

(02:27:24):
there and say whatever he wants? Right? Got Cody got
Cody Rhodes out there saying, oh fuck yourself? So why
not let see to call at the FU? You may
as well? John says, how would you feel if Sena
came out in two weeks with a be lazy, disloyalty
and disrespect shirt. I would love it. It's what I
suggested earlier and again he could go around telling kids,

(02:27:50):
just give up, just give up. Matt Fisher, so be honest.
If Bremode annoys you, why have it? Because people love it.
It's like the learning tree. I do it for the people.
People love it, Alex says, because we love it. He

(02:28:14):
just answered my question. He drops a Brimode after it.
He trolled Matt Fisher and dropped a bre mode immediately
after he met. He wrote that super chat. I fucking
love it. I fucking love it. Oh my god. Hydro

(02:28:35):
Grad with the twenty three Rio says that should be
a shirt. Just give up. They'll make so much money
on it if they do it. Just give up, hydro Grad.
Maybe whatever Chad pulled out of the box summons the
monster Matanza and he literally kills every member of the

(02:28:58):
LWO in all seriousness. That segment gave me strong a
Lucha Underground vibes too. I loved it. I hope we
get more. Yeah, I'm a little worried it might be
the only one. I hope we get more too. Honey
deep Fried Chicken, see I'm punk and Paul Hayman will

(02:29:19):
have a sparring match that is the favor. It'd be
kind of funny if the favor is just like I
want to steak dinner and he just takes him out
to dinner or something. You owe me a Dinner's like
Kenny Banya from Seinfeld. You owe me a meal? You
owe me a meal? Duffs VIDs. How do you make

(02:29:40):
a rat laugh? You tell a cheesy joke? Yeah, congrats,
you got one. Rarely even says does the Rock come
back because he loves wrestling? Or does he come back
to stay relevant when his movies are bombing? Probably a

(02:30:00):
combination of both. Do you think aw could let WWE
borrow Dustin to help Cody at Mania? They could do
whatever they want. If Tony Kahn wanted to, he could
do whatever he want if he has enough respect for
Dustin Rose, and Dustin asked him to. I feel like

(02:30:24):
he would do it, But I feel like Dustin would
have to really ask and make it clear, like it's
important to me that I'd be able to do this,
And I would think Tony would probably have enough respect
for him that he might allow him to do something
like that. But I don't know, But yeah, they could

(02:30:46):
do whatever they want. I don't think WW is gonna ask, though.
Paul Carpenter celebrating twenty three months of channel membership, Hey Paul,
thank you man. Steve Mello, the man is writing in
and says, imagine Cody accepted Rock's offer. Sina would be like, dude,

(02:31:10):
I was supposed to go heal it should have been
me Rock, Well, this is awkward. Yeah, what would have
happened if Cody accepted the offer? Sina would have been like,
fuck second time. Now my heel turn has been foiled.
Navy says for his return, Sina should sport a salmon jacket.

(02:31:33):
It'd be funny if we get Seena back on TV
in a couple of weeks and he's like, now is
part of this heel turn? He's like, Yeah, all that
shit about me retiring this year, I lied? Fuck off.
I still got a lot left in the tank. I
got at least three years left. You're not getting rid
of me that easily. He could say it was all

(02:31:56):
just part of the ruse. He could say, like, it
goes back to the moment that he announced that he
was going to be retiring. He knew then it was
like their master plan. Fool people. Into thinking that he
was going to retire, so they buy tickets to all
of these shows that are supposed to be his last
and get everybody's money and then turn around and point
and laugh and say, yeah, I'm not going anywhere. The

(02:32:19):
ultimate heel move rarely even seen. A should go full Heisenberg,
shave his head and grow a goateee. Well, he probably
should shave his head. I don't know about the go tee.

(02:32:40):
What was that movie he was in? It was one
of his earlier movies. I think he was like a
drug dealer. He had like tattoos all over his body.
What movie was that? I think Amy Poehler maybe, or
the other woman from Saturday Night Live. I think they
were in the movie Honey Dee Fried Chicken. The Rock's

(02:33:03):
next move going to Georgia and taking Pharaoh. I think
Pharaoh would sell his soul for treats. That's what I think.
Tonga loa super fan the Rock said that Toronto is
a heel city. Is that true? I don't think so.

(02:33:26):
I don't know Toronto being a heel city. I know
Toronto is a Hogan city, so I guess if they're
a Hogan city, then sure, Yeah, they're a heel city,
this journey called life. Can Cody please beat the breaks
off of Travis Scott? I don't even know if we're
gonna see him again. Might have been a one off

(02:33:47):
train wreck. Maybe that was the movie train Wreck. That
sounds about right. It was a minor role. I mean,
he wasn't in the movie for very long, but I
remember him being a drug dealer. I think in that
movie or Rug Pusher uh Kreflow fourteen months of membership,
Cody should have said to the Rock what the Rock
said to him off is the direction that you can

(02:34:10):
fuck Duff's VIDs. What's an astronaut's favorite part of the
keyboard the space bar? Well, you're really trying to take
Sidro's place, aren't you. That's like your third one tonight.
I think Sidro's got some competition. Aaron with a fifty

(02:34:35):
I agree, Solo give me that glass break or wrestle
Mayania forty one, and I'll never complain about wwe every well,
I mean yes you will. We both will. Let's let's
be honest here, Stunner on Rock, f you try on
Cody and then the crossroads. Can you imagine though, just
imagine the reaction. As soon as the glass hits and

(02:34:57):
he comes marching down that aisle and the rock's eyes
are like bugging out of his head. Matt Fisher Sena
is retiring, But what about the prototype? Rarely even what

(02:35:18):
did the mermaid wear to her math class? An algebra? Ooh,
that's that's bad. That's very bad. That's very bad. Hydro
grad Actually, maybe Chad pulls out mill masker is his
mask and wears it, giving him the ability to not

(02:35:41):
to not job to any for the rest of his career.
The power of mill Masker is his mask is so
powerful that it prevents you from doing jobs. That's exactly
what he needs, wouldn't that That'd be fucking hilarious. If
that's who he's looking for. He's searching for mill maskers.
He wants to know the secret. I'm tired of losing matches.

(02:36:03):
Tell me what do I need to do? It makes
so much sense. That's exactly who he should be looking for.
I just loved him. In the nineteen ninety seven Royal Rumble.
He wouldn't let anybody else eliminate him, so he jumped
off the top rope and dove on to somebody on

(02:36:25):
the floor outside to eliminate himself. That's Mill Moskers. That's
my favorite Mill Moskers story. The Juliette scene has never
had a WWE Championship run as a heel. No, this
would be the first. This is also going to be
the first WrestleMania in all the years that he has

(02:36:47):
been in this company, this is going to be the
first WrestleMania that he goes into in a match as
a heel, which is insane. That's just insane to me. Crazy.
Rarely even diarrhea is hereditary. It runs in your genes. Yeah,

(02:37:12):
even I knew that one from Ellie in the Last
of Us. So this journey called life who said go
f yourself better? Christian Edge or Cody Christians was pretty good,
but I gotta go Cody z Oh my God, Ruler.

(02:37:37):
A hemp gun does what it makes potshots pot shots,
he says, and clavyman O seven winds us down with
can't wait till my autopsy Club This weekend Saturday is
open mic night forgot to put bitch at the end

(02:38:02):
of it. Aaron's not done yet, Aaron with a twenty
How long do you think Sina stays heal? If I
had to put a guess on it. I'm a little
worried it might end to WrestleMania, especially if he loses,
But I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say through Summer Slam.

(02:38:24):
Give give him a solid run through the end of
the summer or whenever. Summer Slim is at least that long,
and then you could start the redemption arc for the
fall and the winter. That's what I would do. It's
got to be longer than the run that Shawn Michaels

(02:38:44):
had in two thousand and five. That just wasn't nearly
long enough. So what is that like a solid Where
are we now? We're in March right, one, two, three? Yeah,
give me like a solid at five or six months,
especially because he's not going to be a round full time,
so it's not like you're getting six months of Hell.

(02:39:05):
You're not really getting six months of he'll see it.
If you really think about it, you're probably getting like
two months of he'll seen it. But yeah, I would
want him to at least have that long Summer Slam,
especially if he wins the title at Mania, he could
drop it at Summer Slam. Like Summerslim just feels like
the right time and whether he drops it back to Cody,

(02:39:28):
probably back to Cody or punk. You know, it could
be punk. That's what I would do. All right, you
guys have two rounds coming of be the Booker because
you absolutely crushed it tonight. Om too cool? Will he

(02:39:52):
stay heel of Austin returns at Mania?

Speaker 2 (02:39:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:39:56):
Well, it all depends on how it's done. I mean,
if Austin shows up, I would think that it's to hell.
Cody Winn so I've seen a fails. Rock's not gonna
like that very much. Could cause problems between them. Yeah,
I I hope so, I hope it doesn't just end

(02:40:20):
a mania. Aaron, thank you? He says thank you solo,
thank you, Aaron. Aaron's been killing it tonight. All right,
we got two rounds to be the booker coming. You
guys earned it. Let's do it. Ladies and gentlemen, it
is now time to be the booker. This is round

(02:40:44):
number one of be the Booker. Aren't you excited? We've
had some very interesting matches that we've booked over these
last few days. I want a clean sweep. I got
the I got the button right here, I got the anthem.
But only if we sweep.

Speaker 2 (02:41:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:41:08):
We begin with the Mega maniacs Hulk Hogan and Brutus
the Barber Beefcake, who now in this image here, this
is prior to WrestleMania nine. I don't really have a
whole lot to say about the match they had on

(02:41:29):
that show, and I like money inc The match these
two had though in years before this, in the main
event of Summer Slam in eighty nine against Savage and
Zeus is actually a very underrated match. Like, if you've
never seen that match before, or if you haven't seen
it in a long time, do yourself a favor one
of these days, go go watch that match back. It's
actually a great main event. Alright. So we got Hogan

(02:41:57):
and Beefcake taking on the team of MVP and Matt Hardy,
the former SmackDown tag team champions MVP and Matt Hardy.
They had a good thing going there on SmackDown for
a while. They had that whole storyline with them. Also

(02:42:19):
probably doesn't get talked about enough. Yeah, eighty nine Summerslim
is actually a really fun show. Warrior had one of
his best matches with Rick Rude that night. Women's be
the booker. We begin with Dana Brooke now going by

(02:42:42):
ash By Elegance in TNA. Dana Brook is going to
go one on one with thunder Rosa. And I like
thunder Rosa, but I'm sorry thunder Rosa against Ashby Elegance

(02:43:04):
is not getting a bell from I don't give these
bells out like they're candy here. Okay, I have to.
I have some standards here that I have to uphold.
I'm sorry, so there will be no clean sweep here
in round number one. All right, main event time, we
have Darby Allen, who is only weeks away, I believe,

(02:43:29):
from beginning his journey up Mount Everest. May God be
with him. I hope we see him again one day.
God speed, my friend. Here we go.

Speaker 2 (02:43:50):
What was that?

Speaker 1 (02:43:52):
Darby Allen is gonna be in a up. We got
a stipulation. It is a fatal four way we are having.
We have to add three more names to this match.
We're not done yet. Well, we better get to it then.

(02:44:13):
What is this gonna look like? Darby Allen Roman reigns
the tribal chief himself is going to be in the ring.
He's gonna be sharing a ring with Darby Allen. Wow,
all right, we got Darby, We got Roman, we have

(02:44:38):
Oh my god, Look look who's making his debut. Look
who's making his debut here and be the booker. If
you are a Lucha Underground fan, you know exactly who
this man is. This is mil Muertes, mil Muertes, Roman reigns,
and Darby Allen. This is turning. It's one of the

(02:45:00):
greatest four ways we've ever booked. And the final entrant
in the fatal four way match Darby Roman, milware Tse
and the nature Boy Rick Flair. Yeah. For those who

(02:45:23):
don't know milware Tas, you might know him better as
a Judas Messius, Ricky Ricky Banderaz. Right, it's been around
for a long time. Rick Flair, Roman Reigns, Darby Allen,
and mil ware Tase. You know if Milmaretase is here,
that means that Katrina will be there. That's an automatic bill.

(02:45:48):
That is an automate. Look at look at that title.
Look at that title double title match. Yeah, Roman had
the title around his waist too. All right, well, that's
a hell of a main event. Unfortunately it was not
a clean sweet but we have a second round, So
there's still time. We have a second round. Because you

(02:46:11):
guys hit the goal. So we get to do it again,
but this time we're gonna add stipulations to make it interesting.
So we'll begin with the tag team match, and we
begin with a Molotov cocktail match, which is a real match.
It is a real stipulation from the aw Fight Forever game.

(02:46:37):
It doesn't get any more outlaw much show than that
Molotov cocktail match. Okay, what teams are we going to
be playing with here? You just throw Molotov cocktails at
each other. I mean, what's not to like? What's not

(02:47:00):
to like? We got the shield, Roman reigns and seth
Rollins in all, we've booked Roman reigns now for the
second time tonight, Roman reigns and are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (02:47:21):
Right now?

Speaker 1 (02:47:23):
Are you kidding? I'm giving this the bell. We have
once again landed on the megamrons. Here Hulk Cogan and
Brutus Beefcake for the second time tonight, Hogan in a
Molotov cocktail match. That's why I gave it the bell.

(02:47:52):
You imagine Hogan in there trying to dog, trying to
dodge Molotov cocktails.

Speaker 2 (02:48:00):
That be.

Speaker 1 (02:48:05):
Hogging all the glory exactly exactly. Of course, he is
all right women's match. Al Right, we begin Eye for
an Eye. Someone is losing an eye in this match.

(02:48:29):
Some poor woman is coming away from this match with
one less eye than she had coming into it. Who
is going blind? Let's find out. We have Zariya, the
former Delta, now she's Zaria. I don't think she's losing

(02:48:55):
an eye. I feel I feel bad for the opponent,
Zaria in an eye for an Eye match against poor
sky Blue. Sky Blue is losing an eye sky Blue.

(02:49:20):
I believe it may have just been medically cleared. If not,
she's about to be She should be back shortly. Zaria
and sky Blue. I know we have a lot of
sky Blue fans here. Sky Blue is gonna have to
learn to live life with one eyeball though, because ain't

(02:49:40):
no way she's winning that one. Ain't no way. And
this is it. It all comes down to this. Oh geez,
are you fucking kidding me? With this guy? The third
fucking time tonight, Hulk Hogan has graced our screen. This

(02:50:05):
is now a Yappa Pie strap match. This man has
showed up three times in this be the Booker installment tonight.
I don't believe this. Yeah, and all these stipulations were horrible,

(02:50:28):
and we have tons of great stipulations in here. Table match,
hell in a cell, steel cage, false count, anywhere, first blood,
two out of three falls, Like, there's tons of normal
stipulations in here. This man just can't pull himself off TV.
That's the problem. Well, he's not in the match as

(02:50:53):
far as we know, but it is a Yapa Pie
Indian strap match, which is a very special strap match.
I don't know what's so special about it, but I
know it's special. Randy Orton is one half of the
Yappa Pie Indian Strap Match. If we land on Hogan,

(02:51:15):
I'm ending the stream. I swear to God. If he
is in this match against Randy Orton, I'm just gonna
end it. I'm just gonna end it. Tony DiAngelo had

(02:51:36):
your opponent whacked. Choose again carefully, Hey, maybe Hogan was
going to be the opponent and Tony DiAngelo whacked him.
So now we don't have to deal with him anymore. Well,
we have to pick again. Now the drama continues. It's

(02:51:56):
just being prolonged. This is this is an emotional ride
that we're on here. Randy Orton against MJ F in

(02:52:18):
a Yappa Pie. Oh, was that a clean sweep? I
do believe it is. Randy Orton and MJF would be
a great match. Randy Orton an MJF and a Yappa
Pie strap match probably would still be a great match,
but I would I would take it without the stipulation. Personally, well,

(02:52:43):
at least we at least we stuck the landing right.
It's it's it's not so much about what happens before.
It's about how you finish. It's not about how you start,
and I think we finished very strong. Thank you guys.
We had a we had a steady stream in here
of over twenty two twenty three hundred. Big night here
for the post elimination Chamber raw review. I'm glad you
