predictions faster than asurprise cash-in.

Scott and Keith to hold down thefort.
But halfway through boom hereappears like Houdini, with hot
(00:20):
takes and wild theories.
It's chaos, it's wrestling,it's the Powers Point podcast
style.
Let's dive in.
Hey, scott, give us aWrestleMania beat Yo.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
WrestleMania's lit.
Vegas inflamed.
But hold up, where's Jim?
He missed the game.
Scott and Keith with the miccalling wild shots, breaking
down the matches, connecting thedots.
Cena's back, cody's climbingthe game.
(00:59):
He's spitting heat, never tire.
The host went ghost like amagic trick.
But the podcast rolls fast,loud and slick.
Halfway through, just likeHoudini.
Jim walks in smooth, all cooland dreamy.
Did I miss much?
He asks with a grin.
(01:20):
Scott's like dude, where thehell you been?
Wrestlemania madness, full onblast.
Now Jim's back.
Predictions coming fast, threemics, one vibe, no script, just
fate.
Powers Point calling it beforeit's too late.
Whether he vanished, timetraveled or just took a nap,
(01:40):
jim's back in the booth andwe're closing the gap.
Wrestlemania 41, powers Pointstyle.
Jim's back in the booth andwe're closing the gap.
Wrestlemania 41, powers Pointstyle.
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Welcome to a bonus episode.
We are going to be talkingabout WrestleMania 41 really
quick here, giving ourpredictions.
I got the matches, let's seehow the boys Predict and if they
come true.
So, guys, on night one, themain event, which is crazy,
because you would think it wouldbe Jey Uso because he won the
(02:14):
Royal Rumble versus Gunther, butit's now not.
It's Roman Reigns versus CMPunk versus Seth Rollins in a
triple threat match.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I think night one is the perfect night for that one.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Who do you think man Punk Reigns or Rollins?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
My guess is that it's probably.
I would think it was going tobe Roman, but my guess is it's
going to be CM Punk because, Idon't know, he kind of hasn't
had his WrestleMania moment, asthey say, and he's probably
lobbying for that pretty hard.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
So I imagine that's where they'll give it to him
pretty good when, when, uh, cmpunk actually acknowledged the
tribal chief, the original headof the table, the big dog, and
uh, he made sure to tell pauland roman that that's not the
favor.
(03:13):
So I'm thinking uh punk as well, because he's been wanting this
wrestlemania main event all ofhis life and now he finally gets
it.
So how about you, jim?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
is he?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I think he shows up, I thought he was just, I was
like man, this guy's ignoring meman, this guy's deep in thought
.
It looks like it oh, he'll kickin soon here, man.
Hopefully I was like there'sonly three people here.
(03:53):
Dude, I will add this in keith,but because god knows I hold on
, I'm letting him know he'sfrozen, because I don't think he
knows he's frozen.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Right Now.
He's just gone.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
He left man.
He said screw this WrestleManiastuff.
He probably is going to try tosign out and sign back in.
So anyways, keith, just in caseI will add this in Let me make
sure I get the persistence up onthe screen so I know if he
tries.
So we lost Jim here, but that'sokay.
It's not okay, but it's okay.
(04:30):
Cody Rhodes versus John Cena.
We all know John Cena has soldhis soul to the Rock.
Is John Cena going to beat theRic Flair's record man and get
the 17-time heavyweightchampionship, or is Cody Rhodes
going to stay in?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
My guess is that John Cena is going to win.
I hope so because I'm lovingthis spin that he took, and his
promos on the crowd kind ofsound like my rants here at the
house sometimes so.
I'm digging that, but yeah, myguess is that they're they're
(05:09):
gonna give it to them.
They're gonna, you know,because they just, for whatever
reason, I don't know.
If you notice it, in popculture period they tend to like
breaking records.
You know what I mean.
Whether it's, you know, neededor necessary or not, they like
the.
So I'm thinking that's whatthey're going for him I hope so.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
And then you know, like, get the fans hate him, but
then he'll make a save rightbefore like a mic before and
turn back to that like the, theface that everybody loved right
now.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Here's the.
Here's the thing, though can inthe past year, who would you
say, was cody's signature likemarquee signature, title defense
?
Do you know what I mean?
Do you understand what I'masking?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
yeah, yeah, like who has been his main storyline this
year well, I mean, it's insane.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
As much as he's cool with the belt and all that, it's
like, well, you know what, whatdid you know did what?
Has he had?
A lot of interesting fucking.
You know little heatedstorylines have gone in the past
year.
I don't know, man, I don'twatch it enough to, for I guess
I do watch it enough to feellike I don't, I don't think he
has.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Well, he's had some big feuds with kevin owens.
I mean, they were like off thecharts.
I thought they killed eachother.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Kevin owens I think he might have fought drew
mcintyre right, and I guess abetter question is is that his
fault or is that the fault ofthe rest of the roster?
By not stepping up to be thatguy to, you know what I mean,
because usually it's when peopleget more invested in and it's
when somebody kind of comes up.
Do you know what I mean?
(06:39):
They didn't used to be that hot.
Now they are.
You know it's like people can.
Oh, I always liked them whenthey weren't as hot now they are
.
Now let's see what they can dowith it.
And I don't, you know, I don'treally.
I feel like everybody he's goneat it with was, uh, sort of
like the people that anybodyelse in the past five years has
kind of defended it against withthe same.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
You know it's cool right, so we both are in
agreements with John.
I think so yeah how about thisone man, tiffany Stratton, vs
Charlotte Flair for the WWEWomen's Championship?
You know what I really like,tiffany, in this match.
(07:20):
Charlotte's had her time, butis she gonna go for the record
also, because I think she's 11times champion?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
does she already have it?
I mean, wouldn't she?
Wouldn't she already have the?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
you know, I don't know who has that well, she's
just been gone for over a year,you know trying to get, it's not
the same no, and she just gotdivorced right like For real.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
She's not from Andrade.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yep gone.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Jesus.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Jesus, you know she comes back and he's there, you
know, but now you haven't seenAndrade too much.
Now, right, miro's coming backto WWE.
Rey Fenix made his debuttonight, so we've got the Lucha
Brothers in.
Yeah, so I'm hoping Tiffany Strstratton man, because charlotte
flair seen her day man andevery time she comes back she
(08:08):
looks like she's had some moreplastic surgery done it's.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, that's it, I guess.
Yeah, that's exactly.
I agree for that.
For that very reason, I thinkthey got a she's kind of there,
just for the name recognition.
You know what I mean for thematch, for the casuals that only
watch wrestle and be like, well, I don't know who these people,
you know, which is kind of ashame.
You know what I mean.
But, like, ufc doesn't do thatand you see how they suffer.
(08:33):
You know what I mean.
When it comes to okay, well,they have to put on a
pay-per-view and they have toput on.
Well, we got to have two title,like the 125 division, who
nobody knows who either of thoseguys are the champion or the
challenger, and under that it'slike the 135-pound women's
division and nobody, and evenless people, know who those two
are.
You know what I mean.
But, yeah, they're stillcharging that $80 for that
(08:59):
pay-per-view, whereas I believeWWE has it right with everything
being on.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Peacock.
You know what I mean for oneprice.
Look at how spread out WWE is,as far as we got the
pay-per-views on uh peacock.
We got uh nxt on cw.
We got smackdown on usa.
We got raw on netflix like holycow man.
You got aew on tbs or tnt okayand hbo max.
(09:23):
I don't even know why they'reeven dealing with people,
because they got some lousymatches, man, and there's no
upcoming wrestlers Like yep,like who's going to seem like
they missed the plot, man.
Yeah, big time, and when, causeCody would have never put up
with that crap.
You know being right, you know,especially when Tony Khan
(09:44):
doesn't let people like make thecards, you know, do the booking
.
It's all him, him, and hedidn't said in his.
You know he used to make thisstuff in high school, these
matches.
Well, he didn't have nowrestling experience.
I've made matches, but youdon't see me up there starting a
league.
Of course, I'm around9 billion,but all right With $9 billion,
(10:08):
I definitely would be starting aleague $9 billion, man,
definitely You'd be starting alot of shit though.
So we are in greens with Tiffany.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
I think so yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I agree.
Okay, so the next match, we gotthe winner of the Royal Rumble
this year, jey U usul, who is nolonger really could be called
the main event jay usul, becausethey kind of bumped him out
versus gunther and he's neverbeat gunther and gunther has
kicked the shit out of hisbrother, yeah, last week and
(10:41):
bloodied them all up and and, uh, probably one of the best slaps
in the face I've ever seen, man, when jamie uso slapped gunther
and it sounded like a whip dude, oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
And then gunther just smiled, right um, I guess, with
that match that I asked you, doyou feel like, um, seniority
should ever play a difference inin something like wrestling,
where it's driven by the fansand the money?
I mean sure Jey Uso has beenhere for how long?
But there's like other people,do you understand kind of where
I'm going with it.
It's like they've been hereforever.
(11:15):
But if in that 20 years thatyou've been here, nobody's
buying the tickets to see youyou know what I mean and you're
claiming this person that's onlybeen in there for two years,
it's like, well, this person fortwo years is selling more
tickets.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Well, it's Jey Uso Sure, he's like one of the
number one merchandise dealers.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Okay, is he a mover?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
He's one of the main geek movers, okay, but is he
ready to beat Jey Uso versusGunther at the second match?
No, I'm just, it says it's justdetermining, I'm just going
down the line here.
So Jey Uso, I am, I don't thinkhe is ready to represent man.
(11:59):
I think Gunther, hopefully.
You know he has that old style.
He gets people to like him andhate him, you know.
But I can't see Jey Uso manbeing the face of the company.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Right, right, I think Gunther's got that it factor.
You know what I mean For goingthrough.
He's got the, got that edfactor, you know I mean for sure
he's got the thing what I andwho.
So obviously he's a great, youknow that's.
It kind of reminds me like he'sgot to be a great employee, if
that makes sense.
Right, there's another.
There's another cat that I usedto always say about that I used
to say, man, that guy's got abit.
You remember adam cole?
(12:36):
Yeah, that's what I used to say.
I said, man, that dude has tobe the model employee.
As much push as this man gets,because I don't see anything
otherwise.
You know what I mean.
But he might be, and that's I'msure that has to play a factor,
wouldn't you think?
You know, because they talkabout when carrie von eric was
the world champion, they didn'tlet him keep it because his
reliability wasn't, wasn't solid.
(12:57):
You know what I mean.
They didn't trust him to dowhatever, so he had to give it
back right away.
That's my kind of figure.
I mean it is a job, it's a funjob, but it is a job, you know.
So that's what I, when I seeguys like that, certain guys
that I think.
I guess I don't really get thepush.
They must be model employees.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
So people tuning in right now.
Jim is back and Jim, I'm goingto give you the matches we've
already talked about.
So the first one, Reigns versusPunk, versus Seth.
Me and Keith both said Punk whodo you think Roman?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Reigns.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
You are a chief person, man Yep.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Okay, I'll go ahead and get Angry Grandma on here.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Oh, dude, norman Reigns, how about?
The next one we talked aboutwas Cody Rhodes versus John Cena
.
We're both hoping Cena takesthe 17th time record and then,
like a month or two before heretires for good, then something
happens and he turns face,maybe beats Rock's ass for the
(13:59):
first time because he hasn'tbeen able to do that, retires
for good.
Then something happens and heturns face, maybe beats Rock's
ass for the first time becausehe hasn't been able to do that.
Who do you think on that?
We both said Cena.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I'm going, cody.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
All right.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
I'm going to go.
The upset there, which thechampion is upset.
That's crazy, right.
I see him stopping him.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
The next match we had was Tiffany Stratton versus
Charlotte Flair.
Both of us are hoping TiffanyStratton not plastic surgery
Flair.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Tiff versus Charlotte .
You guys go the other way.
Huh, Yep.
I'm going Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Give me a Flair, because I think this will be her
12th championship.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Yeah, she's got to keep going, man, because
everybody hates her so much.
She's got to be that big hatethat everybody hates and I think
everyone's going to be madabout it.
But take it away from thelittle young girl.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Then where we are currently Gunther versus Jey Uso
.
I hope, hope, gunther, keith,you said gunther as well, or as
jay uso.
Finally, he is oh and threeversus gunther, so already gonna
let him be wait.
What did you guys get?
Uh, we both said gunther yeah,I'm taking gunther too.
(15:17):
I hope so.
I mean Jay's good, but he'sbetter as a tag team wrestler.
You know I can't take away fromwhat the Usos did.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
It was nice giving the Royal Rumble, but I just
don't think he can Because hecan't really talk and you have
to have a talking champion.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
He can say yeet in so many ways.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Yeah, but then the bell rings and then you know,
guess what the crowd's bored ifthey talk about like technical
in ring.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
There really is no one better, though I mean.
I mean that cat is as solid ascan be when it talks about in
the performance aspect of it.
You know what I mean.
I know I've seen him flub a fewthings like that, but that's
because they do that high riskshit.
But you know him and both ofthose guys and a couple of those
dudes like they're seriouslysolid.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
You know, when him and Jimmy talk, though on the
mic, they're so out of breathbecause they're so excited and
nervous.
They're like, hey, yeah, I'mgoing to come for you.
It sounds like they were in aporn movie together, man.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Not together.
I like the both men'schampionship.
I got the champions keepingtheir titles.
How boring will that be foreverybody?
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
So, moving on, our next match we got is for the
Women's World Championship.
We got champion Io Sky versusBianca Belair.
There was a match on Raw lastweek where Rhea Ripley had her
(16:44):
chance to beat Io Sky for thebelt and to see who becomes
Bianca's opponent, and Biancawas the referee and it didn't
turn out well and shedisqualified both of them.
So are they going to turn thisinto a triple threat match,
because there's already a triplethreat men's match, because it
seems like it seems like whenyou have back in the day it was,
(17:08):
uh, hell in a cell match, itwas the guys.
Well, now you got hell in a cellmatch with the females too.
So it kind of takes away thethe I don't know man, the
excitement, because you've justwatched an hour and a half match
, you know.
So now, because we do for guys,we gotta do the same for the
females.
Why not come up with somethingelse?
(17:30):
So if it does become a triplethreat, then I gotta say rhea
ripley is gonna pull that oneoff, if not absolutely.
I hope eos guy retains the belt, because I really do like her
style of wrestling, I like thejapanese style, and bianca's
just had her time.
But I think naomi's gonnainterfere, maybe slow what do
(17:53):
you think?
or jade cargo probably might bethe one to interfere too right,
and is bian going to turn heelFinally, because I think she
would be a good heel?
What do you guys think?
Speaker 4 (18:06):
As much as I would like to see Rhea win, because I
think she's the best thing onthe show, I guess period would
be, but I still don't thinkshe's going to win it.
I think she'll be in the match,but I think Bianca Belair will
end up winning the match.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Jim, I think Io Skye is going to win because she just
got that championship recentlyand they're not going to take it
off her.
Secondly, the story outsidewhat you said, scott, bianca's
not going to win because Jade orthe other one someone will
interfere and stop Bianca fromwinning, or Jade will be beating
(18:44):
up Naomi and then they bump inor they do something to make
Bianca lose so Io could justwalk out of there with it, and
then that'll lead up to the nextbig event, to where Bianca has
to deal with whoever both thosetwo or one of those two.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Alright.
Then the next match we got Well, it's not next, but the next
one on the list is AJ Stylesversus Logan Paul.
Aj has been kind of irrelevantbecause of injuries he pops in,
gets hurt, leaves for a couplemonths, pops in, gets hurt,
leaves for almost a year.
And now we got Logan Paul whohonestly has got to be one of
(19:23):
the most amazing people as faras for how long he's been in
wrestling and how much he knows.
You know he believes in the oldschool stuff and honestly he's.
If he watches matches, man, hereally saves some people.
Like ray mysterio could havebroke his neck but you know, uh,
(19:43):
logan paul like all of a suddenlike stumbled forward just to
catch ray because he knew thatray was about to eat shit.
So you know, like there's a lotof times that he looks so old
school wrestling man.
But I kind of hope logan paulwins this man um, my guess would
(20:03):
be that he will.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
you know, he's got a mind for it, you for it, he's
just good at it.
It's kind of what I was sayingearlier.
Just because he doesn'tnecessarily have the 15, 20
years experience, it seemed likehe walked in his first year
with just a mind for it.
That they didn't necessarily.
It's one of them things youeither got it or you don't.
You can't manufacture that itthing.
(20:25):
I think he's got a lot of it.
You know right, he's got a lotof eyes.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Who got the last of uh between the two, like the
last one up, kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Um, that won't happen yet Right.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
We got like two weeks , oh, okay.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
I didn't know.
It's on Easter Day.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Oh well, shoot, I'm going to go with AJ.
I mean, he's toward the end ofhis career.
I think they're going to givehim a big WrestleMania win.
Not to mention Logan.
Didn't he just win the last,him and Kevin Owens, that one
fight recently, or something?
It was a huge upset, orsomething.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
What.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
This might have been months ago or even last year, I
can't remember.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Shoot man.
I forgot that one.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Oh, they like him for sure.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
They put him over all the time.
I've seen Logan win a lot ofnot pay-per-views anymore
premium events.
He's been winning a lot of them, so I think that they're going
to have AJ win or something.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
You know it could be his last WrestleMania.
Yeah, because it could be hislast Wrestlemania the way he
wrestles, every match could behis last match because he's
always getting hurt.
So you're saying AJ and Keith,you and I are both saying Logan.
Alright, this one's justannounced it is for the WWE
(21:43):
United States Championship.
We got LA Knight vs Jacob Fatuand I hope that God Jacob Fatu
and I hope that God Jacob Fatuwins, because this guy's a beast
for his size.
And now they're letting him doa lot of promos on the mic and
that dude talks street.
You know, like no more.
I love you, tribal chief.
(22:04):
You know none of that.
Now he's huffing and puffingand swearing away man, uh, I
really hope jacob takes thisbelt but isn't he like feuding
with uh solo?
they're getting in arguments,but jake uh, jacob promises to
bring a belt back to the family,so solo might interfere with
(22:29):
this, you know, and cause jacobto lose I'm saying la night
winds that solo interferes, orlike something happens up on a
banana peel, as they used to saybecause the last time last week
uh, in the back it it was Tama,tonga, solo and Jacob.
And Jacob pointed to Tama andsaid you're either with me.
(22:52):
And then he pointed to Solo andhe said or you're against me.
He's like either way, I'mbringing that belt home.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
See, I think that Roman's going to win the triple
threat and go for thechampionship against Cody to get
it back from him, and I thinkall the bloodline has to get
along and be back with him.
You know, as a family kind ofthing, for the story to keep
going, because that story'sgonna go well, january 27th,
they were supposed to recognizehim as the, the tribal chief,
and it never happened so theygot to do that again.
(23:25):
So I don't see him having a beltand being a solo act no pun
intended, but him being byhimself separate from the main
story of the bloodline.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
I just think it'll cause more jealousy, you know.
And then again Punk still.
They still owe him a favor.
So everybody's wondering whatthat favor is.
You know, is Heyman going toturn on Roman?
You know, because they are,they're both tight, uh.
So I got jacob.
Who do you got?
Speaker 4 (23:55):
uh la night and you keith yeah, I'm gonna say la
night too, just because itdoesn't um.
I mean, history kind of tellsthat they don't tend to put
belts on, uh, the bloodline guys.
Belts on the bloodline guys,not necessarily the bloodline
guys, but the the kind of likemore savage acting wrestlers.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah, this is true.
So, okay, we got two LA nightsand one Jacob on order, all
right.
So we got two matches leftthat's been announced so far.
The next and they're bothfemale matches uh, the next one
is for the women's tag teamchampionship.
Live morgan and raquelrodriguez, who are the champs
(24:39):
versus gauntlet, so anybody canrun out there.
Oh god, are they strong enoughto to take on whoever they got?
Speaker 5 (24:50):
is that just one team or just several teams?
It's several you go into the,the last team in that could that
could be because they'repartners with uh tna.
That could be tna, a tag team,or an, or an nxt tag team coming
out.
I mean, that could be anybody.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
You can't really predict that so are they good
enough as a team?
I mean, I really like livemorgan, you know, not just
because it's fire, but I likeher character.
You know rod raquel, ever sinceshe had that disease a couple
years ago she hasn't really.
She's tough, which doesn't looktough like she used to.
(25:27):
You know, she used to be allmuscle.
Are we?
Are we going with the thegauntlet winners, or are we
going with the tag champs?
Speaker 5 (25:38):
I'm going with the gauntlet winners, because it's
going to be, it's a, it's goingto be a surprise.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
This is what it's going to be, and then most
likely, most likely be fourother teams.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Yeah, yeah, that'd be my guess.
It's going to be a surprise.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
The odds are better if you take the gauntlet.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
All right.
So again two gauntlets and aLiv Morgan and Raquel, all right
.
And then our other match.
We kind of discussed this.
We have a hatred Jade Cargillversus Naomi in a single
regulars match.
Jade, has she really been doingtraining, you know, because
(26:13):
she's only been doing tagmatches and she lost for the
first time last week.
So has she been at theperformance center busting her
ass trying to make herself lookgood?
I mean, she's a beast, you know, she is the Black China.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
What's Naomi been doing in the last couple weeks
and months?
You?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
know what, other than the elimination chamber.
She hurt Jade Cargill, whichput Jade Cargill out for like
six months and then admitted itto Bianca and then Jade's just
been beating her ass every week.
You know what.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
I predict I'm gonna go with a wild pick here.
I'm gonna go, naomi wins.
You know why?
Because they're gonna bring thewomen of the bloodline into the
the story now.
And, uh, your favorite, thejack Jax is going to help her
family member win.
Naomi win.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
See, there's like.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
She's not on the card anywhere.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
No, no, wow, there's a lot of people back that aren't
on the card.
Asuka, I think she's back.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I can see them being in the gauntlet.
I can see them being in thegauntlet.
I can see them winning it.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Another match that we haven't seen, but I'm sure
they're going to have it, isPenta versus Braun Breaker, and
that will be for thechampionship, the
Intercontinental Championship.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Don't they have a tag team or a ladder match or a
battle royal or something?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
They had a tag.
No, they don't have.
No, this is all that's justbeen announced.
Okay, this isn't the card.
That's only seven matches, sothat's like one night right
breaking news.
Let me uh pop in here, uh, I'mjust they.
Just after this smackdown, theyjust updated, uh, the
wrestlemania card, so let me seewhat matches.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
I thought you were talking about Van Damme or
something, yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
What did he do?
They caught him in full splits,oh.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
I'm the top, rob Van Damme they didn't add nothing
else.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
It says it was updated two minutes ago the
matches so I take that back.
Folks, there is no breakingnews.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
So breaking news is still going to happen.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
That's our prediction for the seven matches that have
been announced.
One of us are right right Withour picks.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Well, there was nine matches announced, nine.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Yeah, who's the eight and nine?
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Roman Cody, uso Tiffany EO, aj LA Knight, tag
girls tag team and the JadeCargo.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Okay, so there's nine .
So we got like six on one, need, uh like four more on the other
.
I mean, we don't have solo onthis show.
We don't have rhea ripley yeton this show or what about?
Speaker 5 (29:17):
uh, uh, what's his name?
We don't have uh, one with thatart that drew mcintyre and who,
uh, he fought with damienpriest.
Yeah, damien priest, that's hisname.
So, yeah, that'll probably beanother match announced, but
we'll find out, kevin kevin, whohe fought with.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Damien Priest?
Yeah, damien Priest, that's hisname.
So yeah, that'll probably beanother match announced but
we'll find out.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Wait, Kevin Owens versus Orton Sammy yeah, Orton.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Yeah, because Sammy's out of wrestling.
There's another wrestler out ofthe match.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
I told you about what was going to happen with that,
didn't I?
No, my prediction.
Okay, here app with that,didn't I?
No, my prediction that, okay.
Here's a prediction I'm gonnasay kevin owens versus randy
orton.
Randy orton starts to uh, lookslike he's gonna win the
wrestlemania match.
All sudden sammy comes down andand everybody, or everybody,
thinks he's gonna beat up uhowens.
(30:02):
But in fact he turns and uhbeats up orton.
And then all of a sudden, kevinOwens gets the win and Sammy
and Kevin are best friends andhe's like you're right, kevin
Owens, you were right all along.
And Sammy turns bad, goes backwith his friend.

On this episode of the Powers Point Podcast,
wrestlemania 41 is taken overand we're droppin' bold
predictions faster than asurprise cash-in.
Jim vanished like a ghostbefore the bell rang, leaving
Scott and Keith to hold down thefort.
But halfway through boom hereappears like Houdini, with hot
(00:20):
takes and wild theories.
It's chaos, it's wrestling,it's the Powers Point podcast
style.
Let's dive in.
Hey, scott, give us aWrestleMania beat Yo.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
WrestleMania's lit.
Vegas inflamed.
But hold up, where's Jim?
He missed the game.
Scott and Keith with the miccalling wild shots, breaking
down the matches, connecting thedots.
Cena's back, cody's climbingthe game.
(00:59):
He's spitting heat, never tire.
The host went ghost like amagic trick.
But the podcast rolls fast,loud and slick.
Halfway through, just likeHoudini.
Jim walks in smooth, all cooland dreamy.
Did I miss much?
He asks with a grin.
(01:20):
Scott's like dude, where thehell you been?
Wrestlemania madness, full onblast.
Now Jim's back.
Predictions coming fast, threemics, one vibe, no script, just
fate.
Powers Point calling it beforeit's too late.
Whether he vanished, timetraveled or just took a nap,
(01:40):
jim's back in the booth andwe're closing the gap.
Wrestlemania 41, powers Pointstyle.
Jim's back in the booth andwe're closing the gap.
Wrestlemania 41, powers Pointstyle.
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Welcome to a bonus episode.
We are going to be talkingabout WrestleMania 41 really
quick here, giving ourpredictions.
I got the matches, let's seehow the boys Predict and if they
come true.
So, guys, on night one, themain event, which is crazy,
because you would think it wouldbe Jey Uso because he won the
(02:14):
Royal Rumble versus Gunther, butit's now not.
It's Roman Reigns versus CMPunk versus Seth Rollins in a
triple threat match.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I think night one is the perfect night for that one.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Who do you think man Punk Reigns or Rollins?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
My guess is that it's probably.
I would think it was going tobe Roman, but my guess is it's
going to be CM Punk because, Idon't know, he kind of hasn't
had his WrestleMania moment, asthey say, and he's probably
lobbying for that pretty hard.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
So I imagine that's where they'll give it to him
pretty good when, when, uh, cmpunk actually acknowledged the
tribal chief, the original headof the table, the big dog, and
uh, he made sure to tell pauland roman that that's not the
favor.
(03:13):
So I'm thinking uh punk as well, because he's been wanting this
wrestlemania main event all ofhis life and now he finally gets
it.
So how about you, jim?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
is he?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I think he shows up, I thought he was just, I was
like man, this guy's ignoring meman, this guy's deep in thought
.
It looks like it oh, he'll kickin soon here, man.
Hopefully I was like there'sonly three people here.
(03:53):
Dude, I will add this in keith,but because god knows I hold on
, I'm letting him know he'sfrozen, because I don't think he
knows he's frozen.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Right Now.
He's just gone.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
He left man.
He said screw this WrestleManiastuff.
He probably is going to try tosign out and sign back in.
So anyways, keith, just in caseI will add this in Let me make
sure I get the persistence up onthe screen so I know if he
tries.
So we lost Jim here, but that'sokay.
It's not okay, but it's okay.
(04:30):
Cody Rhodes versus John Cena.
We all know John Cena has soldhis soul to the Rock.
Is John Cena going to beat theRic Flair's record man and get
the 17-time heavyweightchampionship, or is Cody Rhodes
going to stay in?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
My guess is that John Cena is going to win.
I hope so because I'm lovingthis spin that he took, and his
promos on the crowd kind ofsound like my rants here at the
house sometimes so.
I'm digging that, but yeah, myguess is that they're they're
(05:09):
gonna give it to them.
They're gonna, you know,because they just, for whatever
reason, I don't know.
If you notice it, in popculture period they tend to like
breaking records.
You know what I mean.
Whether it's, you know, neededor necessary or not, they like
the.
So I'm thinking that's whatthey're going for him I hope so.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
And then you know, like, get the fans hate him, but
then he'll make a save rightbefore like a mic before and
turn back to that like the, theface that everybody loved right
now.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Here's the.
Here's the thing, though can inthe past year, who would you
say, was cody's signature likemarquee signature, title defense
?
Do you know what I mean?
Do you understand what I'masking?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
yeah, yeah, like who has been his main storyline this
year well, I mean, it's insane.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
As much as he's cool with the belt and all that, it's
like, well, you know what, whatdid you know did what?
Has he had?
A lot of interesting fucking.
You know little heatedstorylines have gone in the past
year.
I don't know, man, I don'twatch it enough to, for I guess
I do watch it enough to feellike I don't, I don't think he
has.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Well, he's had some big feuds with kevin owens.
I mean, they were like off thecharts.
I thought they killed eachother.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Kevin owens I think he might have fought drew
mcintyre right, and I guess abetter question is is that his
fault or is that the fault ofthe rest of the roster?
By not stepping up to be thatguy to, you know what I mean,
because usually it's when peopleget more invested in and it's
when somebody kind of comes up.
Do you know what I mean?
(06:39):
They didn't used to be that hot.
Now they are.
You know it's like people can.
Oh, I always liked them whenthey weren't as hot now they are
.
Now let's see what they can dowith it.
And I don't, you know, I don'treally.
I feel like everybody he's goneat it with was, uh, sort of
like the people that anybodyelse in the past five years has
kind of defended it against withthe same.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
You know it's cool right, so we both are in
agreements with John.
I think so yeah how about thisone man, tiffany Stratton, vs
Charlotte Flair for the WWEWomen's Championship?
You know what I really like,tiffany, in this match.
(07:20):
Charlotte's had her time, butis she gonna go for the record
also, because I think she's 11times champion?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
does she already have it?
I mean, wouldn't she?
Wouldn't she already have the?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
you know, I don't know who has that well, she's
just been gone for over a year,you know trying to get, it's not
the same no, and she just gotdivorced right like For real.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
She's not from Andrade.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yep gone.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Jesus.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Jesus, you know she comes back and he's there, you
know, but now you haven't seenAndrade too much.
Now, right, miro's coming backto WWE.
Rey Fenix made his debuttonight, so we've got the Lucha
Brothers in.
Yeah, so I'm hoping Tiffany Strstratton man, because charlotte
flair seen her day man andevery time she comes back she
(08:08):
looks like she's had some moreplastic surgery done it's.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, that's it, I guess.
Yeah, that's exactly.
I agree for that.
For that very reason, I thinkthey got a she's kind of there,
just for the name recognition.
You know what I mean for thematch, for the casuals that only
watch wrestle and be like, well, I don't know who these people,
you know, which is kind of ashame.
You know what I mean.
But, like, ufc doesn't do thatand you see how they suffer.
(08:33):
You know what I mean.
When it comes to okay, well,they have to put on a
pay-per-view and they have toput on.
Well, we got to have two title,like the 125 division, who
nobody knows who either of thoseguys are the champion or the
challenger, and under that it'slike the 135-pound women's
division and nobody, and evenless people, know who those two
are.
You know what I mean.
But, yeah, they're stillcharging that $80 for that
(08:59):
pay-per-view, whereas I believeWWE has it right with everything
being on.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Peacock.
You know what I mean for oneprice.
Look at how spread out WWE is,as far as we got the
pay-per-views on uh peacock.
We got uh nxt on cw.
We got smackdown on usa.
We got raw on netflix like holycow man.
You got aew on tbs or tnt okayand hbo max.
(09:23):
I don't even know why they'reeven dealing with people,
because they got some lousymatches, man, and there's no
upcoming wrestlers Like yep,like who's going to seem like
they missed the plot, man.
Yeah, big time, and when, causeCody would have never put up
with that crap.
You know being right, you know,especially when Tony Khan
(09:44):
doesn't let people like make thecards, you know, do the booking
.
It's all him, him, and hedidn't said in his.
You know he used to make thisstuff in high school, these
matches.
Well, he didn't have nowrestling experience.
I've made matches, but youdon't see me up there starting a
league.
Of course, I'm around9 billion,but all right With $9 billion,
(10:08):
I definitely would be starting aleague $9 billion, man,
definitely You'd be starting alot of shit though.
So we are in greens with Tiffany.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
I think so yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I agree.
Okay, so the next match, we gotthe winner of the Royal Rumble
this year, jey U usul, who is nolonger really could be called
the main event jay usul, becausethey kind of bumped him out
versus gunther and he's neverbeat gunther and gunther has
kicked the shit out of hisbrother, yeah, last week and
(10:41):
bloodied them all up and and, uh, probably one of the best slaps
in the face I've ever seen, man, when jamie uso slapped gunther
and it sounded like a whip dude, oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
And then gunther just smiled, right um, I guess, with
that match that I asked you, doyou feel like, um, seniority
should ever play a difference inin something like wrestling,
where it's driven by the fansand the money?
I mean sure Jey Uso has beenhere for how long?
But there's like other people,do you understand kind of where
I'm going with it.
It's like they've been hereforever.
(11:15):
But if in that 20 years thatyou've been here, nobody's
buying the tickets to see youyou know what I mean and you're
claiming this person that's onlybeen in there for two years,
it's like, well, this person fortwo years is selling more
tickets.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Well, it's Jey Uso Sure, he's like one of the
number one merchandise dealers.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Okay, is he a mover?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
He's one of the main geek movers, okay, but is he
ready to beat Jey Uso versusGunther at the second match?
No, I'm just, it says it's justdetermining, I'm just going
down the line here.
So Jey Uso, I am, I don't thinkhe is ready to represent man.
(11:59):
I think Gunther, hopefully.
You know he has that old style.
He gets people to like him andhate him, you know.
But I can't see Jey Uso manbeing the face of the company.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Right, right, I think Gunther's got that it factor.
You know what I mean For goingthrough.
He's got the, got that edfactor, you know I mean for sure
he's got the thing what I andwho.
So obviously he's a great, youknow that's.
It kind of reminds me like he'sgot to be a great employee, if
that makes sense.
Right, there's another.
There's another cat that I usedto always say about that I used
to say, man, that guy's got abit.
You remember adam cole?
(12:36):
Yeah, that's what I used to say.
I said, man, that dude has tobe the model employee.
As much push as this man gets,because I don't see anything
otherwise.
You know what I mean.
But he might be, and that's I'msure that has to play a factor,
wouldn't you think?
You know, because they talkabout when carrie von eric was
the world champion, they didn'tlet him keep it because his
reliability wasn't, wasn't solid.
(12:57):
You know what I mean.
They didn't trust him to dowhatever, so he had to give it
back right away.
That's my kind of figure.
I mean it is a job, it's a funjob, but it is a job, you know.
So that's what I, when I seeguys like that, certain guys
that I think.
I guess I don't really get thepush.
They must be model employees.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
So people tuning in right now.
Jim is back and Jim, I'm goingto give you the matches we've
already talked about.
So the first one, Reigns versusPunk, versus Seth.
Me and Keith both said Punk whodo you think Roman?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Reigns.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
You are a chief person, man Yep.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Okay, I'll go ahead and get Angry Grandma on here.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Oh, dude, norman Reigns, how about?
The next one we talked aboutwas Cody Rhodes versus John Cena
.
We're both hoping Cena takesthe 17th time record and then,
like a month or two before heretires for good, then something
happens and he turns face,maybe beats Rock's ass for the
(13:59):
first time because he hasn'tbeen able to do that, retires
for good.
Then something happens and heturns face, maybe beats Rock's
ass for the first time becausehe hasn't been able to do that.
Who do you think on that?
We both said Cena.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I'm going, cody.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
All right.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
I'm going to go.
The upset there, which thechampion is upset.
That's crazy, right.
I see him stopping him.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
The next match we had was Tiffany Stratton versus
Charlotte Flair.
Both of us are hoping TiffanyStratton not plastic surgery
Flair.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Tiff versus Charlotte .
You guys go the other way.
Huh, Yep.
I'm going Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Give me a Flair, because I think this will be her
12th championship.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Yeah, she's got to keep going, man, because
everybody hates her so much.
She's got to be that big hatethat everybody hates and I think
everyone's going to be madabout it.
But take it away from thelittle young girl.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Then where we are currently Gunther versus Jey Uso
.
I hope, hope, gunther, keith,you said gunther as well, or as
jay uso.
Finally, he is oh and threeversus gunther, so already gonna
let him be wait.
What did you guys get?
Uh, we both said gunther yeah,I'm taking gunther too.
(15:17):
I hope so.
I mean Jay's good, but he'sbetter as a tag team wrestler.
You know I can't take away fromwhat the Usos did.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
It was nice giving the Royal Rumble, but I just
don't think he can Because hecan't really talk and you have
to have a talking champion.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
He can say yeet in so many ways.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Yeah, but then the bell rings and then you know,
guess what the crowd's bored ifthey talk about like technical
in ring.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
There really is no one better, though I mean.
I mean that cat is as solid ascan be when it talks about in
the performance aspect of it.
You know what I mean.
I know I've seen him flub a fewthings like that, but that's
because they do that high riskshit.
But you know him and both ofthose guys and a couple of those
dudes like they're seriouslysolid.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
You know, when him and Jimmy talk, though on the
mic, they're so out of breathbecause they're so excited and
nervous.
They're like, hey, yeah, I'mgoing to come for you.
It sounds like they were in aporn movie together, man.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Not together.
I like the both men'schampionship.
I got the champions keepingtheir titles.
How boring will that be foreverybody?
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
So, moving on, our next match we got is for the
Women's World Championship.
We got champion Io Sky versusBianca Belair.
There was a match on Raw lastweek where Rhea Ripley had her
(16:44):
chance to beat Io Sky for thebelt and to see who becomes
Bianca's opponent, and Biancawas the referee and it didn't
turn out well and shedisqualified both of them.
So are they going to turn thisinto a triple threat match,
because there's already a triplethreat men's match, because it
seems like it seems like whenyou have back in the day it was,
(17:08):
uh, hell in a cell match, itwas the guys.
Well, now you got hell in a cellmatch with the females too.
So it kind of takes away thethe I don't know man, the
excitement, because you've justwatched an hour and a half match
, you know.
So now, because we do for guys,we gotta do the same for the
females.
Why not come up with somethingelse?
(17:30):
So if it does become a triplethreat, then I gotta say rhea
ripley is gonna pull that oneoff, if not absolutely.
I hope eos guy retains the belt, because I really do like her
style of wrestling, I like thejapanese style, and bianca's
just had her time.
But I think naomi's gonnainterfere, maybe slow what do
(17:53):
you think?
or jade cargo probably might bethe one to interfere too right,
and is bian going to turn heelFinally, because I think she
would be a good heel?
What do you guys think?
Speaker 4 (18:06):
As much as I would like to see Rhea win, because I
think she's the best thing onthe show, I guess period would
be, but I still don't thinkshe's going to win it.
I think she'll be in the match,but I think Bianca Belair will
end up winning the match.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Jim, I think Io Skye is going to win because she just
got that championship recentlyand they're not going to take it
off her.
Secondly, the story outsidewhat you said, scott, bianca's
not going to win because Jade orthe other one someone will
interfere and stop Bianca fromwinning, or Jade will be beating
(18:44):
up Naomi and then they bump inor they do something to make
Bianca lose so Io could justwalk out of there with it, and
then that'll lead up to the nextbig event, to where Bianca has
to deal with whoever both thosetwo or one of those two.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Alright.
Then the next match we got Well, it's not next, but the next
one on the list is AJ Stylesversus Logan Paul.
Aj has been kind of irrelevantbecause of injuries he pops in,
gets hurt, leaves for a couplemonths, pops in, gets hurt,
leaves for almost a year.
And now we got Logan Paul whohonestly has got to be one of
(19:23):
the most amazing people as faras for how long he's been in
wrestling and how much he knows.
You know he believes in the oldschool stuff and honestly he's.
If he watches matches, man, hereally saves some people.
Like ray mysterio could havebroke his neck but you know, uh,
(19:43):
logan paul like all of a suddenlike stumbled forward just to
catch ray because he knew thatray was about to eat shit.
So you know, like there's a lotof times that he looks so old
school wrestling man.
But I kind of hope logan paulwins this man um, my guess would
(20:03):
be that he will.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
you know, he's got a mind for it, you for it, he's
just good at it.
It's kind of what I was sayingearlier.
Just because he doesn'tnecessarily have the 15, 20
years experience, it seemed likehe walked in his first year
with just a mind for it.
That they didn't necessarily.
It's one of them things youeither got it or you don't.
You can't manufacture that itthing.
(20:25):
I think he's got a lot of it.
You know right, he's got a lotof eyes.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Who got the last of uh between the two, like the
last one up, kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Um, that won't happen yet Right.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
We got like two weeks , oh, okay.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
I didn't know.
It's on Easter Day.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Oh well, shoot, I'm going to go with AJ.
I mean, he's toward the end ofhis career.
I think they're going to givehim a big WrestleMania win.
Not to mention Logan.
Didn't he just win the last,him and Kevin Owens, that one
fight recently, or something?
It was a huge upset, orsomething.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
What.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
This might have been months ago or even last year, I
can't remember.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Shoot man.
I forgot that one.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Oh, they like him for sure.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
They put him over all the time.
I've seen Logan win a lot ofnot pay-per-views anymore
premium events.
He's been winning a lot of them, so I think that they're going
to have AJ win or something.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
You know it could be his last WrestleMania.
Yeah, because it could be hislast Wrestlemania the way he
wrestles, every match could behis last match because he's
always getting hurt.
So you're saying AJ and Keith,you and I are both saying Logan.
Alright, this one's justannounced it is for the WWE
(21:43):
United States Championship.
We got LA Knight vs Jacob Fatuand I hope that God Jacob Fatu
and I hope that God Jacob Fatuwins, because this guy's a beast
for his size.
And now they're letting him doa lot of promos on the mic and
that dude talks street.
You know, like no more.
I love you, tribal chief.
(22:04):
You know none of that.
Now he's huffing and puffingand swearing away man, uh, I
really hope jacob takes thisbelt but isn't he like feuding
with uh solo?
they're getting in arguments,but jake uh, jacob promises to
bring a belt back to the family,so solo might interfere with
(22:29):
this, you know, and cause jacobto lose I'm saying la night
winds that solo interferes, orlike something happens up on a
banana peel, as they used to saybecause the last time last week
uh, in the back it it was Tama,tonga, solo and Jacob.
And Jacob pointed to Tama andsaid you're either with me.
(22:52):
And then he pointed to Solo andhe said or you're against me.
He's like either way, I'mbringing that belt home.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
See, I think that Roman's going to win the triple
threat and go for thechampionship against Cody to get
it back from him, and I thinkall the bloodline has to get
along and be back with him.
You know, as a family kind ofthing, for the story to keep
going, because that story'sgonna go well, january 27th,
they were supposed to recognizehim as the, the tribal chief,
and it never happened so theygot to do that again.
(23:25):
So I don't see him having a beltand being a solo act no pun
intended, but him being byhimself separate from the main
story of the bloodline.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
I just think it'll cause more jealousy, you know.
And then again Punk still.
They still owe him a favor.
So everybody's wondering whatthat favor is.
You know, is Heyman going toturn on Roman?
You know, because they are,they're both tight, uh.
So I got jacob.
Who do you got?
Speaker 4 (23:55):
uh la night and you keith yeah, I'm gonna say la
night too, just because itdoesn't um.
I mean, history kind of tellsthat they don't tend to put
belts on, uh, the bloodline guys.
Belts on the bloodline guys,not necessarily the bloodline
guys, but the the kind of likemore savage acting wrestlers.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah, this is true.
So, okay, we got two LA nightsand one Jacob on order, all
right.
So we got two matches leftthat's been announced so far.
The next and they're bothfemale matches uh, the next one
is for the women's tag teamchampionship.
Live morgan and raquelrodriguez, who are the champs
(24:39):
versus gauntlet, so anybody canrun out there.
Oh god, are they strong enoughto to take on whoever they got?
Speaker 5 (24:50):
is that just one team or just several teams?
It's several you go into the,the last team in that could that
could be because they'repartners with uh tna.
That could be tna, a tag team,or an, or an nxt tag team coming
out.
I mean, that could be anybody.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
You can't really predict that so are they good
enough as a team?
I mean, I really like livemorgan, you know, not just
because it's fire, but I likeher character.
You know rod raquel, ever sinceshe had that disease a couple
years ago she hasn't really.
She's tough, which doesn't looktough like she used to.
(25:27):
You know, she used to be allmuscle.
Are we?
Are we going with the thegauntlet winners, or are we
going with the tag champs?
Speaker 5 (25:38):
I'm going with the gauntlet winners, because it's
going to be, it's a, it's goingto be a surprise.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
This is what it's going to be, and then most
likely, most likely be fourother teams.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Yeah, yeah, that'd be my guess.
It's going to be a surprise.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
The odds are better if you take the gauntlet.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
All right.
So again two gauntlets and aLiv Morgan and Raquel, all right
.
And then our other match.
We kind of discussed this.
We have a hatred Jade Cargillversus Naomi in a single
regulars match.
Jade, has she really been doingtraining, you know, because
(26:13):
she's only been doing tagmatches and she lost for the
first time last week.
So has she been at theperformance center busting her
ass trying to make herself lookgood?
I mean, she's a beast, you know, she is the Black China.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
What's Naomi been doing in the last couple weeks
and months?
You?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
know what, other than the elimination chamber.
She hurt Jade Cargill, whichput Jade Cargill out for like
six months and then admitted itto Bianca and then Jade's just
been beating her ass every week.
You know what.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
I predict I'm gonna go with a wild pick here.
I'm gonna go, naomi wins.
You know why?
Because they're gonna bring thewomen of the bloodline into the
the story now.
And, uh, your favorite, thejack Jax is going to help her
family member win.
Naomi win.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
See, there's like.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
She's not on the card anywhere.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
No, no, wow, there's a lot of people back that aren't
on the card.
Asuka, I think she's back.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I can see them being in the gauntlet.
I can see them being in thegauntlet.
I can see them winning it.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Another match that we haven't seen, but I'm sure
they're going to have it, isPenta versus Braun Breaker, and
that will be for thechampionship, the
Intercontinental Championship.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Don't they have a tag team or a ladder match or a
battle royal or something?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
They had a tag.
No, they don't have.
No, this is all that's justbeen announced.
Okay, this isn't the card.
That's only seven matches, sothat's like one night right
breaking news.
Let me uh pop in here, uh, I'mjust they.
Just after this smackdown, theyjust updated, uh, the
wrestlemania card, so let me seewhat matches.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
I thought you were talking about Van Damme or
something, yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
What did he do?
They caught him in full splits,oh.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
I'm the top, rob Van Damme they didn't add nothing
else.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
It says it was updated two minutes ago the
matches so I take that back.
Folks, there is no breakingnews.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
So breaking news is still going to happen.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
That's our prediction for the seven matches that have
been announced.
One of us are right right Withour picks.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Well, there was nine matches announced, nine.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Yeah, who's the eight and nine?
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Roman Cody, uso Tiffany EO, aj LA Knight, tag
girls tag team and the JadeCargo.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Okay, so there's nine .
So we got like six on one, need, uh like four more on the other
.
I mean, we don't have solo onthis show.
We don't have rhea ripley yeton this show or what about?
Speaker 5 (29:17):
uh, uh, what's his name?
We don't have uh, one with thatart that drew mcintyre and who,
uh, he fought with damienpriest.

we'll find out, kevin kevin, whohe fought with.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Damien Priest?
Yeah, damien Priest, that's hisname.
So yeah, that'll probably beanother match announced but
we'll find out.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Wait, Kevin Owens versus Orton Sammy yeah, Orton.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Yeah, because Sammy's out of wrestling.
There's another wrestler out ofthe match.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
I told you about what was going to happen with that,
didn't I?
No, my prediction.
Okay, here app with that,didn't I?
No, my prediction that, okay.
Here's a prediction I'm gonnasay kevin owens versus randy
orton.
Randy orton starts to uh, lookslike he's gonna win the
wrestlemania match.
All sudden sammy comes down andand everybody, or everybody,
thinks he's gonna beat up uhowens.
(30:02):
But in fact he turns and uhbeats up orton.
And then all of a sudden, kevinOwens gets the win and Sammy
and Kevin are best friends andhe's like you're right, kevin
Owens, you were right all along.
And Sammy turns bad, goes backwith his friend.
