We can’t wait to hear from you! Don’t forget to let your voices be heard!!
The biggest event of the summer and as confirmed by WWE the 2 night event is here to stay. Night 1 started off with our OTC Roman Reigns and Main Event Jey Uso taking on Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed in what one can only call a meat fest. Following that we saw ‘The Judegment Days’ Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez put their tag titles on the line against the most unlikely of duos in Charlotte and Alexa Bliss, after a fairly even match up we are happy to announce NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS in Charlotte and Alexa. We saw Sami Zayn do exactly what he promised he was going to do by beating Karrion Kross. Jade Cargill and Tiffany Stratton had what Brother Pyro would call a mid match but in her SummerSlam debut Cargill learned it always ‘TIFFY Time’. Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul teamed up against Randy Orton and Jelly Roll, although Jelly Roll took most of the fight he didn’t have enough in him at the end of the day falling victim to Logan Paul. Main Event if Night 1 saw Gunther taking on CM Punk with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line, each man thought they had each others number many times throughout even digging deep into their bag of tricks ultimately to everyone’s shock your NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION CM PUNK! But before Punk could celebrate with the ruse of the century Seth Rollins cashes in to reclaim the World Heavyweight Championship. Night 2 opens up with the triple threat match for the Women’s World Heavyweight Championship Naomi’s father proves to be good luck as she walks out victorious against Rhea and IYO. To follow a chaotic TLC match where the Wyatt Sicks prevailed. Womens IC title No DQ match had us scratching our heads with a noticeable botch. Solo Sikoa vs. Jacob Fatu fell completely flat, leading us into the IC title match where both AJ and Dom payed tribute to the late Eddie Guerrero. Finally the main event where Cody Rhodes fights the real John Cena for the WWE Championship, after digging d

(00:00):
Wrestling has more than oneroyal family.
Whoa.
(00:22):
What is up guys?
It's Brother Pyro here foranother episode of Wrestling
Crossroads and teaming with metoday is our lovely hex.
I hope everybody had a goodweekend and enjoyed the first
ever two night summer slam.
We are here to recap it.
Let's start with night onekicking off the show.
(00:45):
Jay and Roman teaming up againstBronson, Reed and Braun Breaker.
What a match.
It was a really good matchactually.
It was.
It was better than Ianticipated, if I'm gonna be
completely honest.
Yeah, I was.
I was a little worried.
I was a little worried.
Well,'cause dude, the action gotstarted right off the gate.
(01:10):
Roman and Jay kind of took overpretty early.
I love the.
Bring up.
Yes.
Bring up.
And then the, and he's lookingat Roman is like, so we gonna
run duck, the tribal chief enendorsement, the tribal chief
endorsement, and then Roman gotinto it and it was great.
Mid match shit.
Everybody, he, it was greatuntil Bronson Reed and Bron
(01:36):
Breaker had to mess that up byPaul Roman out the ring.
Yeah.
Well we knew it had to happen.
You are right.
You are right.
Um, uh, like I said, good, goodtag match.
Both teams really working in, ingreat cohesion.
Mm-hmm.
Although we weren't reallyworried about it necessarily.
(01:57):
Well, given, given the factthat, you know, Roman's kind of
done his own thing for the mostpart.
Mm-hmm.
Kind of piggybacked off ofothers doing the work for him.
I was still just a littlenervous there.
I.
Think after they already likekinda kind of ran it back like
old bloodline.
(02:17):
I was pretty confident that thiswas gonna be okay.
Okay.
That's right.
That's right.
They already kind of tested thewaters.
They had their little bit oflittle family issue there with
egos, and then they kind ofsmoothed, smoothed it over.
Uh, but no, I wanna, let's justtalk right into our closing
(02:37):
moments, everybody.
It's a brawl Roman taking thatsacrificial bullet.
Mm-hmm.
For Jay, knowing Jay's the legalcompetitor.
Breaker's the legal competitor,Jay getting Roman, pushing Jay
out the way shows how much Romanhas grown mm-hmm.
(02:59):
As a competitor and maybe now aslike a family man.
Mm-hmm.
Because this isn't, you know,Roman, a year or two ago.
I'm the one in charge.
You're gonna do for me.
Yep.
Everyone else was moving Romanout the way.
Yeah.
Now he's like the chance turnedand he's doing things for others
too.
(03:19):
And that did allow the bloodlineto pick up the 1, 2, 3 and get
the win to start night one'sactions.
It was a nice kickoff to nightone.
Yeah, it was.
It was.
At least didn't fall flat.
So that part.
(03:39):
That part right there for sure.
All right, go ahead and take usinto night or into um, match
number two.
Alright, so match number two wasfor the women's tag titles
Judgment Days, Roxanne Perez andRaquel Rodriguez versus.
The team of, we're not friends.
(04:02):
Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.
Excuse me.
Still picking on each other.
Still.
Awesome.
Remember, remember They're notfriends though.
Nope.
They're allies of convenience,but she sure let it slip during
the post show nowadays.
Oh, they definitely did.
I saw little clips of that and Ilaughed.
(04:23):
So you said it, that was great.
It was pretty great.
It was pretty great.
Oh, but they, both teams, theyreally showed out.
They, they showed each other'sstrengths.
They showed each other'sweaknesses.
We got some miscommunications,you know, between, you know,
(04:45):
Charlotte and Alek Sub.
I don't think there was reallymuch of a miscommunication.
That was just Roxanne playingreally good defense.
Yeah, yeah.
Pulling her partner out ofharm's way.
For sure.
For sure.
Um, had a failed sister Abigailattempt was countered.
Yep.
And Ms.
Perez, if I remember correctly,it's hard to remember night one
(05:08):
after watching night two.
I mean, I feel like that's fairNight.
Night two was definitely,especially with all those
intense matches in night two.
Oh my gosh.
So match.
I feel like you could have, Ifeel like you could have mixed
in a few here and a few likemm-hmm.
I, I don't know.
I feel like a few matches fromnight.
(05:29):
One could have went to night twoand night two could have went to
night one.
Maybe balance out the shelves alittle bit.
Yeah.
That, that, that definitelywould've been nice.
That definitely would've beennice.
Alright.
But you know, um, either waybetween an accidental kick to
the dome of, uh, who, who wasthe accidental kick to Flare?
(05:52):
Flare kicked Alexa.
Okay.
So, yep.
So Flair accidentally, uh, laidout.
Alexa.
I thought it was the other wayaround though.
It might've.
I think it, Nope, I think you'reright.
I think you're right.
Yeah.
And the complete look of uttershock on her face that she, I'm
(06:12):
so worried.
I did not mean to do that.
It seems every time somethinglike that happens, she's more
worried about Charlotte Flairbeing mad at her.
I mean, I feel like that's fair.
You're fair.
It's the queen.
She has a temper.
Temper.
She does.
And you know, you're trying notto get on her bad side,
especially when you, you'retrying to win some gold.
For sure.
(06:33):
I agree.
Um, so in the, in the closingmoments of this, um, I don't
necess, do you remember how theclosing match of this went?
Closing moments?
We were able to get, uh, Roxanneis set up in the Sister Abigail.
(06:54):
Charlotte gets herself back intothe ring, is able to uh, big
boot Raquel out the ring, uh,out run interference, play
defense.
They set up that Sister AbigailDDT.
Still a really beautiful move.
Mm-hmm.
And pin 1, 2, 3.
Your new women's tag teamchampions, Alexa Bliss and shirt
(07:19):
flare.
I was really hoping for anhomage moment.
And there the sister Abigail andas they go for the pin, the
point out to the spear, I thinkI've showed you this, uh, a few
years back, Ray Wyatt and RomanRains teamed had a tag team
(07:43):
match.
I think it was on like a randomepisode of Raw.
He hits the si Ray hit thesister Abigail, he went for the
cover and.
Uh, I wanna say they were takingon the bar, which was SRO and
Seamus.
They, uh, as SRO went to gobreak up the pin.
(08:04):
Brae just points and like abullet coming out of a gun.
Here comes Roman with the spearto prevent the breakup.
It's probably one of the mostbeautiful moments I've ever
seen.
I really, really wanted thatmoment.
That's what I thought was gonnahappen when I saw Charlotte get
back in the rink last night oron a night one.
(08:28):
Mm-hmm.
And I'm kind of disappointed itdidn't happen.
I needed that moment.
We created it.
It's gonna be okay.
Yeah, it's gonna be okay.
But I going into match numberthree, carrying cross versus
Sammy Zane.
Not a lot really here.
Not really anything here.
This match was kind ofdisappointing.
(08:49):
And by kind of, I mean,extremely disappointed, it was
way too quick.
It was, you really didn't giveus much of anything.
No.
Like obviously the steel pipecame into play'cause we all knew
it was Scarlet.
Tried to, uh, get Sammy to useit.
It just didn't work.
Mm-hmm.
(09:10):
Asked him, he said no.
They would've hit the hall luvakick Right.
Shortly after and pick up theone.
Yeah.
That looks like Monday.
We're gonna have crossadmitting, you know, he was
wrong because that was the, uh,agreed upon stipulation.
Mm-hmm.
Or the agreed upon moment.
(09:30):
There was that nod from carryingcross in the middle of the ring
when Sammy Zane did turn back,you know?
Yeah.
I think, I think that was the, Iknew.
Mm-hmm.
But again, there really wasn'tmuch of anything to this match.
No.
All right, so the next match wehad was for the WWB women's
(09:54):
Title, Tiffany Stratton versusJade Cargill.
I, I don't, I was ratherunimpressed in this match, a
slightly above average match ifyou ask me slightly above
average.
Um, either way, we, we had somegood points.
You know, we got to see a lot ofthe, the strength from Jade
(10:18):
Cargill.
We got to see some moon saltaction.
We got to see why Tiffy is whoshe is as the, as a women's, you
know, champion.
I was talking, uh, twisted tooabout it.
Uh, not the, or like mid matchor before the or Yeah.
(10:39):
Mid match.
We were talking and I was justlike, dude matches is pretty
underwhelming.
And I think it's just'cause theydon't have the chemistry in
reading together yet.
Like obviously it takes a whileto, whether you're a tag team or
whether you're going againsteach other, you gotta have some
kind of chemistry in that ring.
(11:01):
And unfortunately, Tiffy andJade just don't have the level
of chemistry to make, uh, tomake it work right now.
I would love to see them builtback up to it.
Mm-hmm.
Maybe get it do better this nexttime around.
But it definitely looked choppy.
(11:21):
It looked blocky.
Wasn't exactly my favoritematch.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was.
I expect, I expected more.
'cause Tiffy had been doing sowell in every match.
Oh my God.
I was, I was rather, you know,impressed.
Every time she was, she made melike her.
(11:43):
I did not like her and she mademe like her.
It was the wrestling.
It has less to do with when sheopens her mouth.
All right.
I feel like, I feel like that'sright.
I feel like that is very fair.
But picking up the win andretaining was Tiffany stretch.
(12:03):
The, the, the company stillruns, um, TIFF Tie.
All right.
And now a Match.
We were all excited for DrewMcIntyre and Logan Paul taking
on Randy Orton and Jelly Road.
It was beautiful.
(12:25):
It was a, it was actually areally good match.
Uh, jelly was really overzealousat first wanting, thinking, you
know, I can take care of this bymyself.
You know, him, him and LoganPaul were going at it to start
this match.
And then Drew tagged in and manis like, come on man, take me
and jealous.
(12:45):
Like, no, I got this, I gotthis.
So Jelly, or Randy being who heis, starts hyping them up,
starts hyping them up.
Jelly quickly realized maybethis was a mistake cause Jelly
was definitely getting a beatdown.
Uh, but again, both teams reallyhaving a smooth, smooth
(13:12):
teamwork.
Mm-hmm.
They're able to, like, they wereable to feed off of each other.
They showed really greatchemistry, really great
wherewithal and.
Knowing how to be a good tagteam partner.
And for this being jelly rollsin ring debut.
I was, I was rather impressed.
(13:33):
He was, he held his own inthere.
He did.
Even when he was gettingescorted out, he wasn't No, no,
no, no.
I'm in this thing.
No, I, I love, he was not aboutto leave Randy or No, he wasn't
gonna leave Randy high and dryand I love that.
Yeah.
Let's talk about the moment thatgot him carted off Logan Paul
(13:53):
with probably one of the, I hateto admit it because it's Logan
Paul.
We all hate to admit it.
It's fine.
But Logan Paul has got such apretty frog splash.
He does.
And that frog splash onto jellythrough the announced table was.
Just smack in the Prime store.
Oh my God.
(14:15):
Pu the, I was like, wait, is hereally try to be so cold with
Prime bottles right now?
He sure was.
And then Jelly's wife talkingsmack from the sideline.
Oh my God.
Bunny, we love you.
We love you so much.
Someone's heard debut best.
(14:36):
Oh my God.
Used to say that.
You really as would heard it.
Okay.
Okay.
Hex.
But no, I love Bunny.
She, she was just as invested asthe rest of US fans.
I mean, granted primarily'causeit was her husband, but she was
still super invested talkingsmack talk about how she going
(15:00):
to put someone out permanentlyif they keep trying to beat on
her husband.
Well, we love the sass.
Oh, we love money.
We love money.
Uh, but yeah, no, we, like Isaid, jelly Roll.
He wasn't a tough son of a gun,man.
He is.
(15:20):
He, he really like, he got inthere.
He wasn't letting up for nobody.
Jelly.
I would like to see you again.
I really would.
I'm sure.
We'll, I'm sure we'll.
Alright.
Ah, but going into the closingmoments, unfortunately, after
(15:42):
hitting again another frogsplash, uh, Logan Paul was able
to pin jelly for the threecount.
Giving Drew and Logan, uh, thewin for the night.
Still pills in comparison to theamount of tables Logan Paul has
gone through a, uh, jelly milk.
(16:05):
You're not wrong because youboss, you got a 1, 2, 3.
You still got one two throughseveral tables before this.
That's fair.
But like that doesn't matter.
If you're not, I know, leadingto that win, it matters to me.
And that's all that matters.
All right.
I feel like that's fair.
Alright.
Alright.
(16:25):
Our main event for nine ofnight, one for the World
Heavyweight Championship, theRing General Gunther versus CM
punk.
A vicious match.
A vicious match.
(16:46):
So, uh, it seemed the beginningwas pretty Gunther heavy.
It was Gunther head, the upperhand.
For, for the beginning of itland, trying to show, you know,
punk that it's like, he can't dothis.
There's no way.
You're not gonna beat me.
I'm the ring general, and you'rejust in this crusty, washed up
(17:08):
wrestler.
So it, it is exactly what thinksof him.
It's what I see in his eyes whenhe looks at him, it some washed
over it.
It really is.
He went in underestimating,punk, you all right?
If you're gonna, if you're gonnago into a match, first off, you
never wanna underestimate youropponent, especially if that
(17:30):
opponent is CM Punk.
He's been known to get it donewhen he shouldn't.
Mm-hmm.
We had back and forth, uh,sharpshooters, there's a
sharpshooter, there was atransition to the figure four.
There was a lot of back andforth submissions, um, and
(17:53):
eventually things went ringside.
They went out to, you know, thetables, the announced desk, and
we see Gunther get laid out allthe way through to the announced
desk, and the next time we seeGunther scurrying out of, from
underneath that desk, he'sbloody, he's wearing the, after
(18:15):
getting that leg pulled outunder him, and we see him emerge
bloody, which everyone was takenaback.
You just hear the, the audiencego like, you never see Gunther
bleed like that.
That's what I'm, that's what I'msaying.
Gunther bleeding.
He's a man.
What?
That's not normal.
And I would say that was thebeginning of his downfall.
Oh yeah.
He's not used to it.
(18:36):
You know, he's not used to theblood in his eyes.
He is been blood free from hisface for how long now?
That's a very valid point.
He forgets the feeling of blood.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're not wrong.
Maybe.
Maybe he needed this to remindhim he's human.
Remind you that you're mortalyou are not a god.
Yeah.
(18:57):
But punk definitely used that tocapitalize and delivering to
good sleeps to capitalize andtake the title off.
Gunther.
It was a beautiful moment towatch him be so happy in that
(19:17):
ring until it was shattered.
I was gonna say it was a greatmoment until, it was, until we
got Seth Rollins music.
I was gonna, oh, and out oncrutches and in a knee brace
comes Seth Rollins and PaulHayman holding the, and you see.
See.
And Rollins is just mouthing.
Enjoy that while you can holdonto that.
(19:39):
While you can, turns around.
And just drops his crutches andthe crowd pops removes that knee
brace.
I guess while you can mentionthe next couple seconds'cause
Right, he removes that brace,turns around much to the dismay
of CM Punk and rips off hisjacket, grabs that briefcase and
(20:05):
books.
It gets it to the rig assaulttip of it before officially
announcing he's gonna cash in.
Once he cashed in.
All he needed was the Stomp twothree, your new World
heavyweight champion theft.
(20:27):
Freaking Rollins.
He, he stated he was never gonnalet him as long as he was around
as long he was around.
He wasn't letting Juan hold thegold.
And my thing is Daario and Icalled it, we all wanted punk
this match, but we all said it.
Rollins Rollin's injury hasn'tbeen touched on enough.
Yep.
(20:47):
For this to be legit wasn'tuntil he brought that little
fact back to light that I waslike, oh, he's right.
I love, I love Becky in all ofthis though.
Mm-hmm.
I did.
I did see that When she waswatching him catch, I was
laughing.
Were my tweets misleading?
(21:07):
Were my tweets misleading?
I was laughing, so were myposts.
I was like, Becky, no, I loveyou, but no.
Let's talk about the tweetcoming from Ria Ripley after, oh
my God.
She was not happy.
She really said, nobody talkedto me.
Give it back to him.
Watch her take it out on Becky.
(21:28):
Oh, yeah.
Oh yeah.
No, there were so many fans.
I was scrolling through TikTokand there was somebody with AJ
Lee's lc music as a sound,talking about aj.
Ah, go cost Becky her icy title.
Lay up the Chucks and go costBecky, her icy title since your,
since her husband wanted to costyour husband a championship.
(21:51):
Oh my God.
I would've cried.
I would've cried.
But man, Rawlins is really a,they weren't getting, when they
called him the architect.
Sneaky.
Sneaky, because that man hadpulled off the shock of the
century, the heist of thecentury, the twist of the
(22:14):
century, and the ruse of thecentury.
Two of those happening withinthe same year.
It's wild.
Jesus.
Oh my God.
It was great.
It was, but at the same time,great and heartbreaking at the
same time.
I was gonna say, you know, we'regonna get this back.
So many different emotions, youknow, we're gonna get this back
(22:35):
though.
Oh, yeah.
Boy, that that is not over inthe slightest.
It's not slight.
I'm excited, but all right.
That recaps night one and now wego into night two.
Naomi Defense against EO Sky andRia Bloody Ripley e that Women's
(23:01):
World title on the line.
We definitely got some fun outof this one.
I, I enjoyed this match a lot,RIA and EO with the early team
up to try to take out Naomi.
Naomi wasn't having none of itthough.
I I She was able differently.
(23:22):
Oh yeah.
No, she was, Hey, but she, evenwith them both coming at her and
not really focusing on eachother, which I thought was gonna
happen mm-hmm.
They were really coming back atit.
She was really coming back at itlike, what's up?
I mean, if you think, if, I'msure if they, they were thinking
about it.
If they kept each other ripe,then Naomi couldn't get Exactly.
(23:43):
They kept forgetting about eachother.
It's not that they keptforgetting about each other.
I think it was takeout.
Naomi turned this into theone-on-one match that we wanted.
They didn't take her, take herout a lot harder than you did if
you wanted that, right?
Yeah.
You needed to do just a lot morework.
You know who her husband is.
Come on now.
Big Jim, man, Jim, this was agreat opening.
(24:09):
Oh yeah.
This is a really good way to getthe, the match started.
Everybody was feeling it.
We were invested, uh, from theminute they made their
entrances.
I love that Naomi was a companyto, or was played out by her
(24:30):
father.
That was I, her entrance wasactually kind of dope.
I'm not gonna lie.
That's, that was, I know.
I was like, wait, that's herdad.
That's so cool.
Right.
How cool of it to be like herfather and be able to play her
into her match.
No, that's, that must've beenone of his proudest moments
there.
Oh, absolutely.
(24:51):
And if it wasn't, you're, you'rewrong.
You're wrong.
You're dead wrong.
But no, I, like I said, I lovedit.
These three women really showed,uh, you could tell it was a
little choppy at first.
It, because it was a little slowmm-hmm.
To start, they, they had to getused to, uh, each other's
(25:11):
bearings, but once, once theyfigured it out and got that ball
rolling, I don't think thismatch had a step that missed.
No, not even a little.
No.
No.
But I don't think we expectedanything to go.
I don't.
Right.
No, these three women are sotalented.
They're way too talented, man.
So I didn't really expect thereto be a lot of missteps or bad
(25:36):
critique on match.
Yeah, no, it was wonderful.
Too many fantastic wrestl time.
Exactly my point.
Um, inevitably though, aseverybody's going at it, you did
kind of forget about Naomi forlike a second there at the end.
(25:56):
It's hard not to pay attentionto Maria and El whether they're
wrestling, whether they're justbeing hilarious.
Oh my God.
They're just great.
Speaking of hilarity moments,we're gonna, we're gonna touch
on it after, after we, uh, getthrough the rest of this match
because Naomi was able to saveher championship quite a lot.
(26:17):
Mm-hmm.
You know, you thought Riahitting the rip tide, Naomi,
coming in for the save.
Obviously it's not that I didn'twant you.
You to get pinned.
I just don't want to lose mychampionship.
Is what that boiled down to, isreally what that boiled down to.
Mm-hmm.
And she did play a captain, savea champ, save a title quite a
(26:39):
lot.
I, uh, inevitably though goinginto the closing moments, we
were able to see, again, Naomijust being smart and taking
advantage of cer of, uh, ofcertain situations.
Uh, able to pick up that threecount, retain her title, walk
(27:01):
home or walk out of Jersey.
Still Women's World ChampionMonday Night Raw is going to be
very interesting.
And then, so I saw this onsocials.
I'm scrolling through socialslast night.
I.
Maria eo, please Never changebecause I don't know if you saw,
(27:22):
because know what're gonna talkabout Maria.
Maria is like fireman carryingeo Yep.
To the back.
And they're just high fiving thecrowd as they go.
I saw that.
I saw that this morning.
Like never change.
They are so funny.
Oh my gosh.
I mean, coming in NXT together,they're Oh yeah.
No, they've been, they've beenaround.
(27:43):
They kind of find their ownlittle family.
They're for, I mean, I feel likeon the road though, you have to
mm-hmm.
You, you don't get to see yourfamily a lot.
You're on the road, like you gotyour, your 38 weeks out of, out
of the year.
Got your whole family, not more.
And your work family.
Exactly.
So I feel like.
At some point you gotta buildsome kind of camaraderie with
(28:03):
the guys, the guys and guysaround the road with.
Mm-hmm.
For sure.
For sure.
All right, so bring us intomatch two.
The match I was most excitedfor.
Yes.
And you were right to be for theWE tag titles, tables, ladders,
and chairs.
I wanna point out that it's thatit, this match takes place 25
(28:27):
years after the first one 25thanniversary of TLC and we get a
TLC match D'S and the Hardee'sin the crowd.
They touch on the fact that inOctober at Bound for Glory,
Hardee's Dudley's.
One more time.
(28:48):
Lord, this is gonna be amazing.
It's gonna be amazing dude.
Alright, we had the Yya six.
Versus the street prophetsversus DIY versus Fram versus
Motor City machine guns versusAndrati and Ray Fen.
This match did not disappointfrom start to mother, fluffing
(29:11):
finish.
Dude, all six of these teamssomehow managed to give us the
most controlled but uncontrolledlevel of chaos right out the
bat.
I wasn't sure there were gonnabe any tables left.
(29:32):
By the time this was all done, Iwasn't sure anybody was still
gonna be standing at the end ofthis.
Well, think about it.
Your first instinct was to jumpthe white was to jump Gacy and
Loomis.
That's what that, that's how westarted the match.
Of course, take out the.
(29:53):
Take out the biggest, none ofthem wanted the YT six to have
it to begin with.
Take out the biggest threats.
The biggest threats, right.
For sure.
But no, and then we're, oh myGod, it was, it was real quick,
it Axiom and Frazier, you're,once they realized one with how
(30:14):
quick they are and two, howeverybody was taken out.
First Instagram, the ladders,you, I love that way.
Barrett said that they reallyshould be called the blur'cause
of how quickly they move.
They that I'm not arguing withthat.
I also agree they should just becomfort blur.
They are really, you just, youblink and they're all of a
(30:34):
sudden somewhere else and you'relike, how'd you get there?
No.
And they really made that pointwith, after they grabbed the
ladder, they're going back andforth with, I wanna say it was
the prophets.
And as soon as like the briefestsecond frazier's already like
halfway up the ladder, like,sir, you were just punching like
(30:56):
montez forward in the face.
When did you have, when did youclimb the ladder type thing?
We should talk about when DIYtried to send Montez forward
into a table and he cleared itand instead took everybody in
the forehead.
Oh my God.
Yes.
They really said, Hey.
He said, I know I'm gonna justgo ahead and jump.
(31:18):
And there went a good chunk ofthe, uh, a good chunk of the
competitors right there.
Mountain Sport is likedeceptively athletic because
like I can see him being, youknow.
Like, if you're not familiarwith Ford, with Montez, you
(31:41):
could see him, you know, maybebeing this like brawler kind of
guy, maybe a groundwork kind ofguy, and then you see him like
start to really move around andyou're just like, sure.
I'm not sure how, how to feelabout the fact that you're able
to just move, move like this.
(32:03):
Like DOS is also a deceptivelyathletic guy for as big as he
is.
Uh, I like the, the four tablespots though.
Mm-hmm.
Specifically for that part.
The Spanish fly from the toprope.
Because you had, what was it,Axiom and Angela Dawkins up
(32:24):
there.
It an yeah, but no, I'm tryingto, I'm trying to think of the
order on how things went.
Oh man.
Because I believe they put Gacythrough a table first.
Uh, yeah, I, that sounds right.
Then Loomis went through a tablewith, I wanna say it was, uh,
Johnny followed by Frazier,putting one of the guns through
(32:52):
a table, and then you had Champon the table.
Dawkins looks like he's aboutto, you know, hit a big splash.
Axio meets him at the top ropeand then hits that Spanish fly
through the table.
I was, oh my goodness.
I was really hoping Champ stillwould've been there.
Mm-hmm.
But like, I was like, holy crap,that was awesome.
(33:16):
Just ding dink, dink ding.
Tables getting broken everywhereas well as bodies.
'cause ain't nobody's standingup right after, after that one.
Like everybody's hurting today.
I know it.
And then shortly later, who dowe see?
Swoop into that ring.
Turning it into a ladies' matchas well.
Here comes Candace.
(33:38):
Then comes Bfab Fab.
Now Nikki Cross is involved.
Oh, they turned to Delaney'snight.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I don't know if Wade andMichael said that.
I think, I think Wade said ittoo, like apparently we can, it
became a lady CLC match.
Go to Wade Parret on.
He was cracking me up.
Do Wade all nights?
Oh my gosh, no.
(33:59):
What about favorite commentarymoments is they're talking about
all these, you know, they'retalking about seas and then
they're talking about Mike'sharder, her Lemonade, and
they're talking about how like,you know, we're really promoting
this, we're doing a lot of work.
Why do we not have, we havewater, but right now we need
some food.
Like, like, like like betweenboth like Michael Cole and Wade
(34:20):
Barr.
Just trying to like, hey.
Bring us the booze to thecommentary table.
Like, sir, y'all got jobs to do.
And Michael Cole, you alreadysaid it.
Once you start drinking and youget drunk, you're not exactly
the most functioning humanbeing.
Why does that sound like It'd bethe funniest thing.
What?
That's Oh my God.
Oh my God.
(34:40):
No.
So Cardi B was the host.
Mm-hmm.
And they were talking, and Wadewas talking about how, yeah, I
want hear, you know, all theserappers.
You say, oh, you're a guy.
You, you're a real big rap fan.
I want to hear you bust out someCardi B lyrics.
He was like, that'll MichaelCole's response.
That'll be later at the parkwhen I'm drunk.
(35:05):
But yeah, no, we got Women's Tback to, we got women's TLCA.
Briefly.
Briefly.
Candace is able to like recoverafter beef F and everybody else,
she starts to climb.
Montez is, you know, champ, uh,is also is fighting everybody
(35:26):
off Gargano's at the top of theladder.
Mm-hmm.
Candace is at the top of theladder, like they're both trying
to win this for DIY.
Mm-hmm.
Montez is able to like, uh,after Champa fights off,
everybody Monte is, is able tocatch the upper hand kick, uh,
kick Champa back into theladder, tipping Johnny's ladder
(35:49):
into Candace's ladder andCandace goes clean through the
la through a, through a setupladder.
I thought Garo was holding theladder when that happened.
And then Montez got, oh, that'swhat it was into him.
Champa got knocked.
In took Gargano leading garganoto tip set ladder that, that
(36:09):
Candace was his face.
And dude, his face at the end,just pure shock.
Like, like, oh, oh my gosh.
I just put my wife through theladder.
No, TE's face is what killed methough.
Oh, yes.
Oh my.
All all, anytime anything crazyhappens, we should just
immediately panned him on hisvoice.
I swear to God.
(36:29):
Can he be, his facialexpressions are so good every
time.
Oh, he does not disappoint.
But like his face, you couldtell there was a genuine look.
Like it was a look of concern.
But also, my bad, my bad, y'all.
Anyway, continue do the match.
(36:49):
All righty.
So after the unfortunate cam disleray incident, um, Eric Rowan,
he, he gets involved WadeBarrett's commentary.
Talking about Eric Rowland isabout the size of two of these
themes.
If they were to just morph intoone being I, like I was, I was
(37:10):
shouting at, uh, the TV at WadeBarr getting upset about Eric
Row.
I was like, you didn't sayanything about the girls?
No, no, no.
They definitely make commentsand like, bro, why are they
getting involved?
But at the same time would besaying that if Eric Rowen was
Erica Rowan, shut up.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
(37:30):
All right.
So Eric Rowen got back involvedwith the street prophets, um,
and then can talk about how thatman, like took a chair beat down
Yep.
And then got up.
Like he didn't just getbrutalized with a bunch of steel
chairs.
Yep.
Why?
But shortly after Eric Rowangets taken up, who's dread
(37:52):
headed Mappy face mask, but popsup in the middle of that ring,
uncle Howdy.
Stir in the pot a little bit.
Stir in the little pot a littlebit.
Ends up at the top of thatladder with DIY getting, what
was the, that move he does, hewas hitting, he hit them with
the mandible claw mandible clawhits him with the mandible claw
(38:13):
at the top of that ladder.
Like, you're not getting Liz, Idon't, my dead body.
Eventually he, you know, popsoff and then I think it was
Andrati who goes up?
No, there next.
Oh, I just say, so, I just sayit was Ade.
No, it was Phenix.
Phen went up there.
He gets the mandible claw andthen gets saved by Andrati.
(38:35):
There we go.
Um, well that didn't work.
That didn't work out so well forhim because then Andrade got the
drop on him of course.
And, uh, Dexter Loomis, Joe Gacyreturned.
They cleared things out.
One of my favorite moments inthis match, ah, of the year
(38:58):
before we get into these closingmoments.
Mm-hmm.
So Champ has got the titles andthey moved the ladder, I think
the gun then moved the ladderinto the corner.
Frazier gets into the corner,gets onto the ladder.
Y you could tell they're aboutto recreate the, uh, edge and
(39:20):
Jeff Hardy incident from 25years ago.
If you don't remember thatmoment, uh, Hardy's hanging from
the titles Edge Ladder spearingright off the belts.
I'm thinking we're gonnarecreate that moment.
And this just goes to show thecore strength that Tomaso Champa
(39:41):
has progressive man, him able tolike swing his legs and flip so
that way he, there is no actualway to like hold himself upside
down.
My jaw literally dropped whenyou did that.
Are.
Are you kidding?
And Fraser eats the canvas forRazer, for Johnny to then move
(40:02):
the ladder back so Champ can beback upright instead of upside
down like a bat and from thetop.
All right, well I don'tremember.
Was it Loomis or Gacy?
Climbed the ladder.
Gacy.
So then Gacy climbs the ladderto retain the tag team titles as
(40:24):
the crowd is booing.
I don't think any of us actuallyhad, I don't think any of us
really picked the whites to winthat match.
Actually, two of us did.
Oh, on my side.
Ooh, me and I believe Ruo.
Okay.
Okay.
And then Cauldron chose Andratiand FedEx.
Okay.
It was Mia and Ruo that choseit.
(40:46):
Makes sense.
Why at six?
But, all right.
Women's IntercontinentalChampionship on the line.
Becky Lynch versus Lara Ria.
Becky Wind RA can no longerchallenge for the title as long
as Becky has the title man that,oh, it's a match.
What you gotta say about it.
(41:06):
Hanks, my brain immediately wentto the end of the match.
So let's just go through thematch.
Let's go through the match.
First off, crowd interaction,crowd participation really
wasn't there.
I think we're just over thisfeud.
The crowd, the crowd agrees withus.
The, the match itself wasn'tactually mad.
(41:26):
No, no.
I'm gonna say that match isreally good, but I think we're
just tired of this view at thispoint.
Yeah, it did get pretty violentpretty quickly.
Sure did.
Um, going through this match,Becky was able to endure a lot
of lyra's emotional state prettyearly.
(41:47):
We got the introduction of a fewkendo sticks.
Becky probably has gotta be oneof the smartest women on the
roster.
She had an upper hand throughmost of this.
She did.
She did.
And for good reason.
She's, she's not the man for noreason.
Just that, no.
As her intro said, Becky Lynchbeing held down by the man, she
(42:10):
ain't Becky Lynch no more.
She's the man.
She is.
Becky Lynch is being held downby the man.
Exactly.
I will say I do love the newentrance though.
I do too.
I was like, Ooh, new entrance.
Me and Tristan are watching.
We're like, I don't know whenthis happened, but I'm not mad
at it.
I'm not mad at it either.
Well, I missed the Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
We were, we were definitelytalking about that.
(42:30):
But it doesn't fit what she'sdoing right now.
Exactly.
So, but the, the introduction ofthat toolbox able to like get
her able to attack Lyra's ribwith it and then zip tied her
hands together.
Oh my gosh.
I remember.
Yo, you.
Pretty, pretty impressive.
Like how I was able to operatewith no hands for a little
(42:54):
while.
Especially that moon salt.
Cause how do you get, she gottafigure it out.
How do you get proper rotationon a moon salt without being
able to properly use your handsto get yourself over?
I will.
First off, I couldn't even do amoon salt.
I'd be too scared.
I feel like, you know what?
I, I don't, I don't blame you.
'cause same, same girly girl.
(43:16):
Same.
Uh, but going in, you know,we're talking, we're doing this,
you know, zip ties, eventuallylyra's able to break free not
before getting hung up on thering post and getting battered
with a, oh my gosh.
She used her like a pinata.
Oh, Lara needed some time tofigure out how she was gonna get
(43:37):
out of this.
Oh yeah, she definitely did.
Yeah.
Um, one thing we noticed is I'mthe, uh, after she was zipped.
Mm-hmm.
After her hands got zip tied,the belly to belly.
If you watch that segment, whywas hand actually pops out of
the zip tie?
Yep.
I, I noticed the camera, likeshe put, goes away when she put
(43:58):
it back in.
We were like, I know me andCauldron were looking at each
other like, oh, like at that.
There was no other hand in thereat that moment.
Right.
We were like, it was there atfirst and then she hid it.
I looked at Twisted.
I was like, at that point Iwould've just rolled with it.
I would've just taken my freehand, removed the zip type from
(44:19):
the other one and then got backto action.
I'm just saying, I am justsaying, but I get it for the
sake of keeping things healthy,they were supposed to.
I will say one of my, anotherreally f fun moment, uh, it was
ra hiding under the roof.
Pretty great.
Uh, but going into, uh, ourclosing moments, Becky tried to
(44:43):
use this chain.
Uh, on the outside, on ra.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, like he tries to go use itand, you know, she's taking
forever and we're like, allright, something's gonna happen.
Something's gonna happen.
This was like when the table wasover or the chair was over.
Yeah.
She had a crowbar.
(45:03):
That's what it was.
The crowbar.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, so we're like, okay,something's gonna happen.
She's taking a while to reallyget this set up and what
happened?
Here comes Bailey.
Bailey is like, all right, cool.
What well are you doing?
Takes the, takes the crowbarfrom Becky.
He, they get, they manage to getback in the ring.
(45:25):
Bailey's kind of just out thereat this point.
Becky's trying to get Bailey toattack Lyra.
Almost trying to like instigateanother issue.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, saying it's Lyra's faultthat she's in the spot she's in.
Right.
Uh, Becky goes to, or Baileygoes to swing on Becky with the
(45:45):
chain wrapped around her.
Uh, doesn't get Becky hit Lyrainstead the shotgun on Bailey's
face.
Like obviously it wasn't Uhhuhintentional, I don't think Lyra
will see it that way.
Oh no.
Lyra definitely won't see itthat way.
Especially'cause Yeah.
But it, with that, as with thataccidental assist, Becky's able
(46:09):
to take advantage, pick up thethree count, retain her title.
RA no longer gets a chance atthe IC, women's IC title, as
long as the man is holding itand they're gonna reignite the
Bailey Lyra if you, that's thematch.
We wanted to be, we wanted Lyraor we wanted Bailey Becky to
(46:30):
begin with.
So we're, they're clearly doinga, a Bailey Lyra thing, so Yeah.
Yeah.
But All right, go ahead andbring us into the next one, Ms.
Hets.
Alright, the next match for theUS title in a steel cage solo
Koa versus Jacob fa two.
(46:54):
Uh, we know how I feel aboutthis match.
I felt it was lackluster forcage match, especially given we
had so many stipulation matchesin night too.
And this one should not havebeen the most boring.
And it was no, honestly, like,given the two men that were in
this match, I, I expected a lotmore than what we got.
(47:16):
Oh yeah.
Oh yes.
And we all know they can go tothose places.
They've done it, but they were,it was just them for a little
bit.
But once Tu was getting too muchof the upper hand outcomes to,
or Tanga, JC Mateo.
(47:38):
And Tala Tonga, the MFT, theMFTs, the rest of the MFTs come
out and try to, you know, helpsolo out.
Atu goes to try to fight a balloff.
Um, Jimmy Yu also does try torun interference parents.
(47:58):
I applaud his effort, but when Iheard his music and I was like,
you better not come alone.
You're gonna need help.
He comes along.
Could have at least bought achair with you, man.
Yeah, that's what I was hoping.
I was like, why didn't you haveweapon, a chair, a crowbar or
steel pipes on?
Then, although he was able tohelp a little bit, eventually
the numbers took it over and hegot, wasn't even he thrown over
(48:21):
a table.
It wasn't even the numbers, itwas Tyler Tongue is big seven
foot.
But yeah, that guy, freakingtree.
He is a, he is a giant oak treeof a man.
Yes.
Um.
And so eventually they startscaling and Fatu tries to
(48:44):
counter best he can, buteventually he gets handcuffed to
the top of the cage and we thinkit's all over.
Solo is free and clear.
He calls for that door to beopened, but much his dismay,
Fatou has broken the cuffs andgoes to try to drag him back.
(49:09):
Uh, I believe the door getsslammed on him, right?
Uh, he goes to drag him back.
He, he's able to see, see itwith that, that time again.
They're going, they're going atit again.
He goes to solo, goes to escapethrough the door again.
That's when, that's when thedoor gets, uh, smacked on
(49:31):
Jacob's head.
Yep.
And then solo rolls out.
Is able to just fall out of thecage and is able to retain.
And so Tala and Solo start, youknow, making their way towards,
you know, towards the ramp andJimmy Pops up, takes out, I was
(49:54):
like, so you could have poppedup like 45 seconds sooner, takes
out JC Mateo and puts him backinto that cage and closes the
door to an angry Jacob Fatou whodecides to get some of this
anger out, I think are long fromover with these guys crawls up
to the top of the cage and moonsalts onto Toga, LOA and jc.
(50:21):
Oh yeah.
And Solo and Talo are definitelynot in a rush to go help.
You know, you would think, youknow, M fts.
I'm trying, there's two of you.
One of you is big.
You could easily take out Jimmy.
Go help your people.
But no, you don't wanna getyour, your face hurt a little
more.
(50:41):
That's fair.
He's, he's, he's acting likeRoman reigns.
Oh my God.
He's, when Roman res was travelto you.
Everyone else do my bidding.
I've got my enforce you here tomake sure I stay safe.
But the rest of y'all, you havefun.
Better figure it out.
I feel like that's fair.
Um, now going into probably whatwas one of my favorite non
(51:06):
stipulation matches, I can agreewith this one.
Uh, styles and Dom basically thegiant love letter to Eddie
Guerrero.
It was beautiful.
Think about it like Styles comesout in Eddie themed gear in the
(51:27):
low rider with his son.
Yep.
With his son.
Like this whole thing was justa, a giant love letter that to
Eddie.
And a touchback on the, uh, thecustody of Dominic Ladder Match,
uh, 20 years ago.
Oh man.
I need to go back and watchthat.
Oh my God.
You had him come out with hisson who was blonde.
(51:50):
Baby Dom at the time was blonde.
He was a cute kiddo.
Styles comes out in Eddie gear.
Uh, Tom's gear represented hisfather from that time.
It was, it was a lot of fun.
Uh, going into it.
(52:11):
You got to see a lot of similarsimilarity in their fight styles
for the, for, for the most part.
But Dom really did hold his ownagainst a, a true vet.
The true vet that is AJ's style.
It's been nice hearing Dominicget some crowd favor.
Oh my God.
(52:31):
I assume I not you, you're,you're, you're getting to watch
him grow finally.
Mm-hmm.
And not in a bad way.
Like he is really starting tobe, I think he's still getting
used to not being booed.
I think so, but I think, again,I think the crowd is just
appreciating the work that he'sput in.
Mm-hmm.
We could, we've seen him growthroughout the judgment day.
(52:55):
They really taught him some goodstuff.
Oh yeah.
He's, he's, he's a sponge.
Right.
And day difference there.
Yeah.
No, he's, he's a sponge when itcomes to this business.
He's willing to learn prettymuch whatever, whenever.
As long as he is learning.
As long as you're learning and,you know, utilizing what you've
learned to better your career,which he has done props you,
(53:16):
it's been a privilege to see himgrow as a competitor and as a
wrestler.
Like Yeah.
I'm proud of him.
I'm proud of how far he's comeso far.
Oh yeah.
But we, uh, so one of myfavorite moments, Dom.
Undoes the, uh, the turnbuckles.
Ty Nty and Ref wa is watchinghim.
He's like, dude, what the hellare you doing?
(53:39):
So, while the ref is, you know,trying to get the turn buckle
pad out comes down, slides thesteel chair in, smacks the, uh,
the canvas, throws it to styles,lays it down.
Paige, out of Eddie's playbookthrough and through styles is
realizing the ref is almost donewith the turn buckle.
(53:59):
I'm gonna put the chair aroundmy neck.
I'm gonna drop to the floor realquick.
The leg twitch.
Oh my God.
The extra leg twit.
He really tried to solve thatthing.
It was great.
He did, he did well.
Then he left so hard justwatching his leg twitch.
I was, oh my God.
I was like, dude, the level ofcommitment, the rest turns
(54:20):
around, sees both guys are down.
Uhhuh, is it sure what happened?
How it happened?
Lets the match continue.
Smart move.
Who are you gonna put the blameon there?
Right?
Like Styles has been working thelegs.
He hit a couple calf crushes atthis point in the match.
Mm-hmm.
(54:40):
And he hits this most re thislast one and Dom's boot comes
off.
Mm-hmm.
Just, ah.
So we're thinking, you know, theboot broke, whatever.
There's a moment where the refducks so he doesn't get, you
know, caught in the crossfire ofthese guys.
(55:01):
Dom is able to capitalize, usethat boot, hit a frog, splash
and retain his title I, Ithoroughly enjoyed all of that.
Just'cause like one, it wasn'tyour typical Dom Judgment Day
(55:22):
match, like Judgment day didn'tget involved.
They really.
Dom really showed he can do iton his own, but also still was
that underhanded heel.
Mm-hmm.
And again, this whole match tome was just a love letter to
Eddie.
It was after the match that wefound out, found out Dom's boot
didn't break, he loosened it.
(55:42):
He was thinking smart, notharder.
Right, right.
He worked hard or he workedsmart.
Not hard.
Let the boot break.
'cause he, which, which is whatEddie did.
Oh, he was, he was a master at,he loosened that boot.
Eddie's done that before.
So another, again, another pageout of Eddie's playbook.
Uh, he's, but loosened itknowing he can bait styles into
(56:04):
that calf crusher.
And that's where he was able totake advantage so he can retain
his title.
Alright.
Leading into the main event,straight fight for the WWE
championship, John Sita.
(56:24):
Versus Cody Rhodes.
So was an intense tense match.
So I wanna point out Cenadefinitely, uh, stuck to his
word and he's back.
He's back.
We got the collar back.
He was talking to the cameraman.
He was, he was having him.
(56:45):
So a long time.
He was having so much fun.
Mm-hmm.
It was the rundown to the ring,the salute, the Iman to throw my
hat and my shirt to the crowdand came back to us and had a
lot of fun.
It was nice seeing him have funagain instead of stone face.
(57:06):
Yeah.
You know.
But, uh, this match got prettyintense, pretty fast.
There was respect shown in thevery beginning.
And then let's go.
And then immediately this line.
Oh yeah, they definitely, theyweren't holding back from the
start.
There was that little bit ofrespect for one another.
(57:27):
And then let's go.
And then, oh yeah, theydefinitely out the gate fists
were flying.
Um, it was a straight fight, soI don't know how soon Intuit
that we ended up grabbing.
Well, the table was the tablefirst, right?
I believe so.
A after, I thought there wouldbe no more tables that weren't
(57:49):
broken after that TLC match, Imean, yeah.
Um, so can you uh, we, uh, re reuh, so yeah, as we're going,
'cause again, things got realhard, real heavy right out the
gate.
(58:09):
Uh, we got to the outside, uh,was it, I think Cody got thrown
into the steel steps.
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
Could have got thrown.
Okay.
Uh, we pulled off some tables.
We got some chairs.
It's, they, they, they took thisstreet fight stipulation for
advantage with, for everythingthat it, everything that they
(58:32):
could, they didn't waste time.
No.
No, it's not.
Uh, at one point Sena goes topick up the stairs.
Actually.
They're in the ring, the bottomset of the stairs.
To the heaviest part.
Yes.
Like Sena goes to, uh, throwstyles into the chair or into
the steps.
(58:52):
Doesn't work.
Styles is or not Styles.
Roads is able to, you know, kindof counteract slam Cena against
those steps.
Cena's eventually able to sendroads into the outside.
He picks up the stairs.
There really is no good way toblock it.
He throws'em at Cody and we'relike, well sir, yeah, you're
(59:16):
gonna kinda have to eat thatone.
Way Barrett even said it on acommentary.
There is really no good way toblock stairs being thrown at
you.
You're just gonna have to eatit.
Um, but as we're going, you knowRight.
We've seen, we, we got to see anearly five knuckle shuffle.
(59:37):
We got to see, uh, a few AAattempts.
We, uh, get countered.
We saw the crossroads getcounted a few times.
Uh, and even when he was able tohit it, I dunno why you, it's
super senior, bro.
Mm-hmm.
Why did you think one was gonnabe enough to put him down?
(59:57):
But as the, as this matchcontinues, it's actually just
getting a lot more violent.
Mm-hmm.
At one point, I think it wasCody that unscrewed the bottom,
ah, turnbuckle the bottomturnbuckle.
So now he has part of the ropeand he, you.
They're, they're going at it.
He goes to swing it.
(01:00:19):
Cena's able to hit him with anAA and uses the rope, the nail
unfound rope to like strap in anSTF.
That was I, I, I like that alot.
Cody.
That was awesome.
Cody was definitely able to, youknow, get outta, that was great.
Counter where, you know, we'rebuilding towards these closing
(01:00:42):
moments.
Cody hits Cena with a bulldogoff the top, through a table.
That part I, I, I'm thinking,you know, that's where we're
done.
Cena's able to hit, uh, and no,it wasn't Cena's able to hit a,
a few aas, not get the job done.
Cody then posts that Bulldog goat it for, for a few, few more
(01:01:07):
hits.
About three more crossroads tofinally you put the match away.
Walk out of New Jersey, your newWWE e champion.
Should we talk about when they,uh, ended up under the stage and
then popped up through, oh myGod.
So at, at one point in the matchwe're, you know, going through
(01:01:29):
the outside, we're under theentrance stage, and there's that
elevator shaft that Cody hadused during his entrance.
Cena is just carrying this manon his shoulders as they come
up.
We're like, what hits him withan AA on the entrance wrap the
child top one that happened.
Oh dude, it was great, but he'sable to hit him with an AA on
the ramp.
(01:01:50):
You know, they're, they maketheir way back to the ring.
Go again.
They're going at it, you know,this is the biggest prize in the
company.
This is what I want.
This is what I need.
But we get the one, the two, thethree Cody wins.
They have their exchange at theend of show of respect.
(01:02:11):
Cody leaves.
See this kind of just taking in,you know, this is my last summer
slam.
I'm taking in the crowd one moretime.
Taking the crowd know.
Yep.
And then just when you thoughtit was over, just when you
thought it was over.
Much like night one, like I lookat Twisted Like Brother taking
two.
Mm-hmm.
They're taking way too long.
(01:02:34):
I know.
I remember at the end of it, Ihad clicked the button to pause
'cause I had to watch later andI was like, I looked at Cauldron
and I was like, there's stilllike seven minutes left.
I'm like, dude, what is goingon?
And we just stare at each otherin silence for a few minutes.
Then we hear the music and thenyou hear that music, that guitar
riff.
(01:02:54):
And then I just out.
Out comes Brock Lesner and allyou hear is twisted.
That's one scary cowboy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's a very scary cowboy.
Brock Lesner, what are you doinghere?
Well, we all saw the look onCena's face.
Just, uh, he was not happy tosee Lesner.
I don't think any anybody washappy to see Lesner, although I
(01:03:15):
suppose we could not have afair, a farewell to wear
without, without one of hisbiggest rivals though.
Rock Lesner.
Um, so we're Lesner comes down,he kind of paces the ring a
little, puts the, puts his hatdown on the, uh, commentator
table.
Gets in hits, hit Cena with an Ffive walks away.
(01:03:39):
I'm like, yo, well what?
Um, and then they cut and theygo straight into the pro post
show at it's still, you know,Lesner.
Standing outside.
His music's playing.
He's about to walk back.
(01:04:01):
Sena then gets his music playedas he's leaving the arena and
Cena's like, no, I want, I wantto hear this one last time.
Has them turn off his music.
He walks back next few CenaLesner, they, it's gonna be a
fun one.
Mm-hmm.
Because we haven't seen thisdude in a while.
We haven't seen Lesner in areally long time.
(01:04:22):
Yeah.
I'm excited to see what, how therest of this farewell tour goes.
Certainly.
See, like we got four monthsleft with, I'm not ready, I'm
not ready for my childhood togo, man.
I'm not.
It's gonna be okay, brotherpyro, but all right, that recaps
(01:04:43):
both nights one and two ofSummer Slam weekend.
We hope you enjoyed it just asmuch as we did.
If not more, we will catch you.
I will catch you with Rio on thefirst episode of Wrestling
(01:05:05):
Crossroads Land in Sea forTriple Mania.
That'll be a fun one because youknow, introduction to our new
spinoff series, adding a newshow into the wrinkles that is
the wrestling Crossroads brand.
I'm excited as I can see.
(01:05:31):
All right guys.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
We will talk to you soon.
Anything you wanna say to thepeople texts?
I'm ready for Monday Night Raw.
Oh, I am too.
Let's go.
All right, y'all.
We are out.
Bye.
Wrestling has more than oneroyal family.
Whoa.
(00:22):
What is up guys?
It's Brother Pyro here foranother episode of Wrestling
Crossroads and teaming with metoday is our lovely hex.
I hope everybody had a goodweekend and enjoyed the first
ever two night summer slam.
We are here to recap it.
Let's start with night onekicking off the show.
(00:45):
Jay and Roman teaming up againstBronson, Reed and Braun Breaker.
What a match.
It was a really good matchactually.
It was.
It was better than Ianticipated, if I'm gonna be
completely honest.
Yeah, I was.
I was a little worried.
I was a little worried.
Well,'cause dude, the action gotstarted right off the gate.
(01:10):
Roman and Jay kind of took overpretty early.
I love the.
Bring up.
Yes.
Bring up.
And then the, and he's lookingat Roman is like, so we gonna
run duck, the tribal chief enendorsement, the tribal chief
endorsement, and then Roman gotinto it and it was great.
Mid match shit.
Everybody, he, it was greatuntil Bronson Reed and Bron
(01:36):
Breaker had to mess that up byPaul Roman out the ring.
Yeah.
Well we knew it had to happen.
You are right.
You are right.
Um, uh, like I said, good, goodtag match.
Both teams really working in, ingreat cohesion.
Mm-hmm.
Although we weren't reallyworried about it necessarily.
(01:57):
Well, given, given the factthat, you know, Roman's kind of
done his own thing for the mostpart.
Mm-hmm.
Kind of piggybacked off ofothers doing the work for him.
I was still just a littlenervous there.
I.
Think after they already likekinda kind of ran it back like
old bloodline.
(02:17):
I was pretty confident that thiswas gonna be okay.
Okay.
That's right.
That's right.
They already kind of tested thewaters.
They had their little bit oflittle family issue there with
egos, and then they kind ofsmoothed, smoothed it over.
Uh, but no, I wanna, let's justtalk right into our closing
(02:37):
moments, everybody.
It's a brawl Roman taking thatsacrificial bullet.
Mm-hmm.
For Jay, knowing Jay's the legalcompetitor.
Breaker's the legal competitor,Jay getting Roman, pushing Jay
out the way shows how much Romanhas grown mm-hmm.
(02:59):
As a competitor and maybe now aslike a family man.
Mm-hmm.
Because this isn't, you know,Roman, a year or two ago.
I'm the one in charge.
You're gonna do for me.
Yep.
Everyone else was moving Romanout the way.
Yeah.
Now he's like the chance turnedand he's doing things for others
too.
(03:19):
And that did allow the bloodlineto pick up the 1, 2, 3 and get
the win to start night one'sactions.
It was a nice kickoff to nightone.
Yeah, it was.
It was.
At least didn't fall flat.
So that part.
(03:39):
That part right there for sure.
All right, go ahead and take usinto night or into um, match
number two.
Alright, so match number two wasfor the women's tag titles
Judgment Days, Roxanne Perez andRaquel Rodriguez versus.
The team of, we're not friends.
(04:02):
Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.
Excuse me.
Still picking on each other.
Still.
Awesome.
Remember, remember They're notfriends though.
Nope.
They're allies of convenience,but she sure let it slip during
the post show nowadays.
Oh, they definitely did.
I saw little clips of that and Ilaughed.
(04:23):
So you said it, that was great.
It was pretty great.
It was pretty great.
Oh, but they, both teams, theyreally showed out.
They, they showed each other'sstrengths.
They showed each other'sweaknesses.
We got some miscommunications,you know, between, you know,
(04:45):
Charlotte and Alek Sub.
I don't think there was reallymuch of a miscommunication.
That was just Roxanne playingreally good defense.
Yeah, yeah.
Pulling her partner out ofharm's way.
For sure.
For sure.
Um, had a failed sister Abigailattempt was countered.
Yep.
And Ms.
Perez, if I remember correctly,it's hard to remember night one
(05:08):
after watching night two.
I mean, I feel like that's fairNight.
Night two was definitely,especially with all those
intense matches in night two.
Oh my gosh.
So match.
I feel like you could have, Ifeel like you could have mixed
in a few here and a few likemm-hmm.
I, I don't know.
I feel like a few matches fromnight.
(05:29):
One could have went to night twoand night two could have went to
night one.
Maybe balance out the shelves alittle bit.
Yeah.
That, that, that definitelywould've been nice.
That definitely would've beennice.
Alright.
But you know, um, either waybetween an accidental kick to
the dome of, uh, who, who wasthe accidental kick to Flare?
(05:52):
Flare kicked Alexa.
Okay.
So, yep.
So Flair accidentally, uh, laidout.
Alexa.
I thought it was the other wayaround though.
It might've.
I think it, Nope, I think you'reright.
I think you're right.
Yeah.
And the complete look of uttershock on her face that she, I'm
(06:12):
so worried.
I did not mean to do that.
It seems every time somethinglike that happens, she's more
worried about Charlotte Flairbeing mad at her.
I mean, I feel like that's fair.
You're fair.
It's the queen.
She has a temper.
Temper.
She does.
And you know, you're trying notto get on her bad side,
especially when you, you'retrying to win some gold.
For sure.
(06:33):
I agree.
Um, so in the, in the closingmoments of this, um, I don't
necess, do you remember how theclosing match of this went?
Closing moments?
We were able to get, uh, Roxanneis set up in the Sister Abigail.
(06:54):
Charlotte gets herself back intothe ring, is able to uh, big
boot Raquel out the ring, uh,out run interference, play
defense.
They set up that Sister AbigailDDT.
Still a really beautiful move.
Mm-hmm.
And pin 1, 2, 3.
Your new women's tag teamchampions, Alexa Bliss and shirt
(07:19):
flare.
I was really hoping for anhomage moment.
And there the sister Abigail andas they go for the pin, the
point out to the spear, I thinkI've showed you this, uh, a few
years back, Ray Wyatt and RomanRains teamed had a tag team
(07:43):
match.
I think it was on like a randomepisode of Raw.
He hits the si Ray hit thesister Abigail, he went for the
cover and.
Uh, I wanna say they were takingon the bar, which was SRO and
Seamus.
They, uh, as SRO went to gobreak up the pin.
(08:04):
Brae just points and like abullet coming out of a gun.
Here comes Roman with the spearto prevent the breakup.
It's probably one of the mostbeautiful moments I've ever
seen.
I really, really wanted thatmoment.
That's what I thought was gonnahappen when I saw Charlotte get
back in the rink last night oron a night one.
(08:28):
Mm-hmm.
And I'm kind of disappointed itdidn't happen.
I needed that moment.
We created it.
It's gonna be okay.
Yeah, it's gonna be okay.
But I going into match numberthree, carrying cross versus
Sammy Zane.
Not a lot really here.
Not really anything here.
This match was kind ofdisappointing.
(08:49):
And by kind of, I mean,extremely disappointed, it was
way too quick.
It was, you really didn't giveus much of anything.
No.
Like obviously the steel pipecame into play'cause we all knew
it was Scarlet.
Tried to, uh, get Sammy to useit.
It just didn't work.
Mm-hmm.
(09:10):
Asked him, he said no.
They would've hit the hall luvakick Right.
Shortly after and pick up theone.
Yeah.
That looks like Monday.
We're gonna have crossadmitting, you know, he was
wrong because that was the, uh,agreed upon stipulation.
Mm-hmm.
Or the agreed upon moment.
(09:30):
There was that nod from carryingcross in the middle of the ring
when Sammy Zane did turn back,you know?
Yeah.
I think, I think that was the, Iknew.
Mm-hmm.
But again, there really wasn'tmuch of anything to this match.
No.
All right, so the next match wehad was for the WWB women's
(09:54):
Title, Tiffany Stratton versusJade Cargill.
I, I don't, I was ratherunimpressed in this match, a
slightly above average match ifyou ask me slightly above
average.
Um, either way, we, we had somegood points.
You know, we got to see a lot ofthe, the strength from Jade
(10:18):
Cargill.
We got to see some moon saltaction.
We got to see why Tiffy is whoshe is as the, as a women's, you
know, champion.
I was talking, uh, twisted tooabout it.
Uh, not the, or like mid matchor before the or Yeah.
(10:39):
Mid match.
We were talking and I was justlike, dude matches is pretty
underwhelming.
And I think it's just'cause theydon't have the chemistry in
reading together yet.
Like obviously it takes a whileto, whether you're a tag team or
whether you're going againsteach other, you gotta have some
kind of chemistry in that ring.
(11:01):
And unfortunately, Tiffy andJade just don't have the level
of chemistry to make, uh, tomake it work right now.
I would love to see them builtback up to it.
Mm-hmm.
Maybe get it do better this nexttime around.
But it definitely looked choppy.
(11:21):
It looked blocky.
Wasn't exactly my favoritematch.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was.
I expect, I expected more.
'cause Tiffy had been doing sowell in every match.
Oh my God.
I was, I was rather, you know,impressed.
Every time she was, she made melike her.
(11:43):
I did not like her and she mademe like her.
It was the wrestling.
It has less to do with when sheopens her mouth.
All right.
I feel like, I feel like that'sright.
I feel like that is very fair.
But picking up the win andretaining was Tiffany stretch.
(12:03):
The, the, the company stillruns, um, TIFF Tie.
All right.
And now a Match.
We were all excited for DrewMcIntyre and Logan Paul taking
on Randy Orton and Jelly Road.
It was beautiful.
(12:25):
It was a, it was actually areally good match.
Uh, jelly was really overzealousat first wanting, thinking, you
know, I can take care of this bymyself.
You know, him, him and LoganPaul were going at it to start
this match.
And then Drew tagged in and manis like, come on man, take me
and jealous.
(12:45):
Like, no, I got this, I gotthis.
So Jelly, or Randy being who heis, starts hyping them up,
starts hyping them up.
Jelly quickly realized maybethis was a mistake cause Jelly
was definitely getting a beatdown.
Uh, but again, both teams reallyhaving a smooth, smooth
(13:12):
teamwork.
Mm-hmm.
They're able to, like, they wereable to feed off of each other.
They showed really greatchemistry, really great
wherewithal and.
Knowing how to be a good tagteam partner.
And for this being jelly rollsin ring debut.
I was, I was rather impressed.
(13:33):
He was, he held his own inthere.
He did.
Even when he was gettingescorted out, he wasn't No, no,
no, no.
I'm in this thing.
No, I, I love, he was not aboutto leave Randy or No, he wasn't
gonna leave Randy high and dryand I love that.
Yeah.
Let's talk about the moment thatgot him carted off Logan Paul
(13:53):
with probably one of the, I hateto admit it because it's Logan
Paul.
We all hate to admit it.
It's fine.
But Logan Paul has got such apretty frog splash.
He does.
And that frog splash onto jellythrough the announced table was.
Just smack in the Prime store.
Oh my God.
(14:15):
Pu the, I was like, wait, is hereally try to be so cold with
Prime bottles right now?
He sure was.
And then Jelly's wife talkingsmack from the sideline.
Oh my God.
Bunny, we love you.
We love you so much.
Someone's heard debut best.
(14:36):
Oh my God.
Used to say that.
You really as would heard it.
Okay.
Okay.
Hex.
But no, I love Bunny.
She, she was just as invested asthe rest of US fans.
I mean, granted primarily'causeit was her husband, but she was
still super invested talkingsmack talk about how she going
(15:00):
to put someone out permanentlyif they keep trying to beat on
her husband.
Well, we love the sass.
Oh, we love money.
We love money.
Uh, but yeah, no, we, like Isaid, jelly Roll.
He wasn't a tough son of a gun,man.
He is.
(15:20):
He, he really like, he got inthere.
He wasn't letting up for nobody.
Jelly.
I would like to see you again.
I really would.
I'm sure.
We'll, I'm sure we'll.
Alright.
Ah, but going into the closingmoments, unfortunately, after
(15:42):
hitting again another frogsplash, uh, Logan Paul was able
to pin jelly for the threecount.
Giving Drew and Logan, uh, thewin for the night.
Still pills in comparison to theamount of tables Logan Paul has
gone through a, uh, jelly milk.
(16:05):
You're not wrong because youboss, you got a 1, 2, 3.
You still got one two throughseveral tables before this.
That's fair.
But like that doesn't matter.
If you're not, I know, leadingto that win, it matters to me.
And that's all that matters.
All right.
I feel like that's fair.
Alright.
Alright.
(16:25):
Our main event for nine ofnight, one for the World
Heavyweight Championship, theRing General Gunther versus CM
punk.
A vicious match.
A vicious match.
(16:46):
So, uh, it seemed the beginningwas pretty Gunther heavy.
It was Gunther head, the upperhand.
For, for the beginning of itland, trying to show, you know,
punk that it's like, he can't dothis.
There's no way.
You're not gonna beat me.
I'm the ring general, and you'rejust in this crusty, washed up
(17:08):
wrestler.
So it, it is exactly what thinksof him.
It's what I see in his eyes whenhe looks at him, it some washed
over it.
It really is.
He went in underestimating,punk, you all right?
If you're gonna, if you're gonnago into a match, first off, you
never wanna underestimate youropponent, especially if that
(17:30):
opponent is CM Punk.
He's been known to get it donewhen he shouldn't.
Mm-hmm.
We had back and forth, uh,sharpshooters, there's a
sharpshooter, there was atransition to the figure four.
There was a lot of back andforth submissions, um, and
(17:53):
eventually things went ringside.
They went out to, you know, thetables, the announced desk, and
we see Gunther get laid out allthe way through to the announced
desk, and the next time we seeGunther scurrying out of, from
underneath that desk, he'sbloody, he's wearing the, after
(18:15):
getting that leg pulled outunder him, and we see him emerge
bloody, which everyone was takenaback.
You just hear the, the audiencego like, you never see Gunther
bleed like that.
That's what I'm, that's what I'msaying.
Gunther bleeding.
He's a man.
What?
That's not normal.
And I would say that was thebeginning of his downfall.
Oh yeah.
He's not used to it.
(18:36):
You know, he's not used to theblood in his eyes.
He is been blood free from hisface for how long now?
That's a very valid point.
He forgets the feeling of blood.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're not wrong.
Maybe.
Maybe he needed this to remindhim he's human.
Remind you that you're mortalyou are not a god.
Yeah.
(18:57):
But punk definitely used that tocapitalize and delivering to
good sleeps to capitalize andtake the title off.
Gunther.
It was a beautiful moment towatch him be so happy in that
(19:17):
ring until it was shattered.
I was gonna say it was a greatmoment until, it was, until we
got Seth Rollins music.
I was gonna, oh, and out oncrutches and in a knee brace
comes Seth Rollins and PaulHayman holding the, and you see.
See.
And Rollins is just mouthing.
Enjoy that while you can holdonto that.
(19:39):
While you can, turns around.
And just drops his crutches andthe crowd pops removes that knee
brace.
I guess while you can mentionthe next couple seconds'cause
Right, he removes that brace,turns around much to the dismay
of CM Punk and rips off hisjacket, grabs that briefcase and
(20:05):
books.
It gets it to the rig assaulttip of it before officially
announcing he's gonna cash in.
Once he cashed in.
All he needed was the Stomp twothree, your new World
heavyweight champion theft.
(20:27):
Freaking Rollins.
He, he stated he was never gonnalet him as long as he was around
as long he was around.
He wasn't letting Juan hold thegold.
And my thing is Daario and Icalled it, we all wanted punk
this match, but we all said it.
Rollins Rollin's injury hasn'tbeen touched on enough.
Yep.
(20:47):
For this to be legit wasn'tuntil he brought that little
fact back to light that I waslike, oh, he's right.
I love, I love Becky in all ofthis though.
Mm-hmm.
I did.
I did see that When she waswatching him catch, I was
laughing.
Were my tweets misleading?
(21:07):
Were my tweets misleading?
I was laughing, so were myposts.
I was like, Becky, no, I loveyou, but no.
Let's talk about the tweetcoming from Ria Ripley after, oh
my God.
She was not happy.
She really said, nobody talkedto me.
Give it back to him.
Watch her take it out on Becky.
(21:28):
Oh, yeah.
Oh yeah.
No, there were so many fans.
I was scrolling through TikTokand there was somebody with AJ
Lee's lc music as a sound,talking about aj.
Ah, go cost Becky her icy title.
Lay up the Chucks and go costBecky, her icy title since your,
since her husband wanted to costyour husband a championship.
(21:51):
Oh my God.
I would've cried.
I would've cried.
But man, Rawlins is really a,they weren't getting, when they
called him the architect.
Sneaky.
Sneaky, because that man hadpulled off the shock of the
century, the heist of thecentury, the twist of the
(22:14):
century, and the ruse of thecentury.
Two of those happening withinthe same year.
It's wild.
Jesus.
Oh my God.
It was great.
It was, but at the same time,great and heartbreaking at the
same time.
I was gonna say, you know, we'regonna get this back.
So many different emotions, youknow, we're gonna get this back
(22:35):
though.
Oh, yeah.
Boy, that that is not over inthe slightest.
It's not slight.
I'm excited, but all right.
That recaps night one and now wego into night two.
Naomi Defense against EO Sky andRia Bloody Ripley e that Women's
(23:01):
World title on the line.
We definitely got some fun outof this one.
I, I enjoyed this match a lot,RIA and EO with the early team
up to try to take out Naomi.
Naomi wasn't having none of itthough.
I I She was able differently.
(23:22):
Oh yeah.
No, she was, Hey, but she, evenwith them both coming at her and
not really focusing on eachother, which I thought was gonna
happen mm-hmm.
They were really coming back atit.
She was really coming back at itlike, what's up?
I mean, if you think, if, I'msure if they, they were thinking
about it.
If they kept each other ripe,then Naomi couldn't get Exactly.
(23:43):
They kept forgetting about eachother.
It's not that they keptforgetting about each other.
I think it was takeout.
Naomi turned this into theone-on-one match that we wanted.
They didn't take her, take herout a lot harder than you did if
you wanted that, right?
Yeah.
You needed to do just a lot morework.
You know who her husband is.
Come on now.
Big Jim, man, Jim, this was agreat opening.
(24:09):
Oh yeah.
This is a really good way to getthe, the match started.
Everybody was feeling it.
We were invested, uh, from theminute they made their
entrances.
I love that Naomi was a companyto, or was played out by her
(24:30):
father.
That was I, her entrance wasactually kind of dope.
I'm not gonna lie.
That's, that was, I know.
I was like, wait, that's herdad.
That's so cool.
Right.
How cool of it to be like herfather and be able to play her
into her match.
No, that's, that must've beenone of his proudest moments
there.
Oh, absolutely.
(24:51):
And if it wasn't, you're, you'rewrong.
You're wrong.
You're dead wrong.
But no, I, like I said, I lovedit.
These three women really showed,uh, you could tell it was a
little choppy at first.
It, because it was a little slowmm-hmm.
To start, they, they had to getused to, uh, each other's
(25:11):
bearings, but once, once theyfigured it out and got that ball
rolling, I don't think thismatch had a step that missed.
No, not even a little.
No.
No.
But I don't think we expectedanything to go.
I don't.
Right.
No, these three women are sotalented.
They're way too talented, man.
So I didn't really expect thereto be a lot of missteps or bad
(25:36):
critique on match.
Yeah, no, it was wonderful.
Too many fantastic wrestl time.
Exactly my point.
Um, inevitably though, aseverybody's going at it, you did
kind of forget about Naomi forlike a second there at the end.
(25:56):
It's hard not to pay attentionto Maria and El whether they're
wrestling, whether they're justbeing hilarious.
Oh my God.
They're just great.
Speaking of hilarity moments,we're gonna, we're gonna touch
on it after, after we, uh, getthrough the rest of this match
because Naomi was able to saveher championship quite a lot.
(26:17):
Mm-hmm.
You know, you thought Riahitting the rip tide, Naomi,
coming in for the save.
Obviously it's not that I didn'twant you.
You to get pinned.
I just don't want to lose mychampionship.
Is what that boiled down to, isreally what that boiled down to.
Mm-hmm.
And she did play a captain, savea champ, save a title quite a
(26:39):
lot.
I, uh, inevitably though goinginto the closing moments, we
were able to see, again, Naomijust being smart and taking
advantage of cer of, uh, ofcertain situations.
Uh, able to pick up that threecount, retain her title, walk
(27:01):
home or walk out of Jersey.
Still Women's World ChampionMonday Night Raw is going to be
very interesting.
And then, so I saw this onsocials.
I'm scrolling through socialslast night.
I.
Maria eo, please Never changebecause I don't know if you saw,
(27:22):
because know what're gonna talkabout Maria.
Maria is like fireman carryingeo Yep.
To the back.
And they're just high fiving thecrowd as they go.
I saw that.
I saw that this morning.
Like never change.
They are so funny.
Oh my gosh.
I mean, coming in NXT together,they're Oh yeah.
No, they've been, they've beenaround.
(27:43):
They kind of find their ownlittle family.
They're for, I mean, I feel likeon the road though, you have to
mm-hmm.
You, you don't get to see yourfamily a lot.
You're on the road, like you gotyour, your 38 weeks out of, out
of the year.
Got your whole family, not more.
And your work family.
Exactly.
So I feel like.
At some point you gotta buildsome kind of camaraderie with
(28:03):
the guys, the guys and guysaround the road with.
Mm-hmm.
For sure.
For sure.
All right, so bring us intomatch two.
The match I was most excitedfor.
Yes.
And you were right to be for theWE tag titles, tables, ladders,
and chairs.
I wanna point out that it's thatit, this match takes place 25
(28:27):
years after the first one 25thanniversary of TLC and we get a
TLC match D'S and the Hardee'sin the crowd.
They touch on the fact that inOctober at Bound for Glory,
Hardee's Dudley's.
One more time.
(28:48):
Lord, this is gonna be amazing.
It's gonna be amazing dude.
Alright, we had the Yya six.
Versus the street prophetsversus DIY versus Fram versus
Motor City machine guns versusAndrati and Ray Fen.
This match did not disappointfrom start to mother, fluffing
(29:11):
finish.
Dude, all six of these teamssomehow managed to give us the
most controlled but uncontrolledlevel of chaos right out the
bat.
I wasn't sure there were gonnabe any tables left.
(29:32):
By the time this was all done, Iwasn't sure anybody was still
gonna be standing at the end ofthis.
Well, think about it.
Your first instinct was to jumpthe white was to jump Gacy and
Loomis.
That's what that, that's how westarted the match.
Of course, take out the.
(29:53):
Take out the biggest, none ofthem wanted the YT six to have
it to begin with.
Take out the biggest threats.
The biggest threats, right.
For sure.
But no, and then we're, oh myGod, it was, it was real quick,
it Axiom and Frazier, you're,once they realized one with how
(30:14):
quick they are and two, howeverybody was taken out.
First Instagram, the ladders,you, I love that way.
Barrett said that they reallyshould be called the blur'cause
of how quickly they move.
They that I'm not arguing withthat.
I also agree they should just becomfort blur.
They are really, you just, youblink and they're all of a
(30:34):
sudden somewhere else and you'relike, how'd you get there?
No.
And they really made that pointwith, after they grabbed the
ladder, they're going back andforth with, I wanna say it was
the prophets.
And as soon as like the briefestsecond frazier's already like
halfway up the ladder, like,sir, you were just punching like
(30:56):
montez forward in the face.
When did you have, when did youclimb the ladder type thing?
We should talk about when DIYtried to send Montez forward
into a table and he cleared itand instead took everybody in
the forehead.
Oh my God.
Yes.
They really said, Hey.
He said, I know I'm gonna justgo ahead and jump.
(31:18):
And there went a good chunk ofthe, uh, a good chunk of the
competitors right there.
Mountain Sport is likedeceptively athletic because
like I can see him being, youknow.
Like, if you're not familiarwith Ford, with Montez, you
(31:41):
could see him, you know, maybebeing this like brawler kind of
guy, maybe a groundwork kind ofguy, and then you see him like
start to really move around andyou're just like, sure.
I'm not sure how, how to feelabout the fact that you're able
to just move, move like this.
(32:03):
Like DOS is also a deceptivelyathletic guy for as big as he
is.
Uh, I like the, the four tablespots though.
Mm-hmm.
Specifically for that part.
The Spanish fly from the toprope.
Because you had, what was it,Axiom and Angela Dawkins up
(32:24):
there.
It an yeah, but no, I'm tryingto, I'm trying to think of the
order on how things went.
Oh man.
Because I believe they put Gacythrough a table first.
Uh, yeah, I, that sounds right.
Then Loomis went through a tablewith, I wanna say it was, uh,
Johnny followed by Frazier,putting one of the guns through
(32:52):
a table, and then you had Champon the table.
Dawkins looks like he's aboutto, you know, hit a big splash.
Axio meets him at the top ropeand then hits that Spanish fly
through the table.
I was, oh my goodness.
I was really hoping Champ stillwould've been there.
Mm-hmm.
But like, I was like, holy crap,that was awesome.
(33:16):
Just ding dink, dink ding.
Tables getting broken everywhereas well as bodies.
'cause ain't nobody's standingup right after, after that one.
Like everybody's hurting today.
I know it.
And then shortly later, who dowe see?
Swoop into that ring.
Turning it into a ladies' matchas well.
Here comes Candace.
(33:38):
Then comes Bfab Fab.
Now Nikki Cross is involved.
Oh, they turned to Delaney'snight.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I don't know if Wade andMichael said that.
I think, I think Wade said ittoo, like apparently we can, it
became a lady CLC match.
Go to Wade Parret on.
He was cracking me up.
Do Wade all nights?
Oh my gosh, no.
(33:59):
What about favorite commentarymoments is they're talking about
all these, you know, they'retalking about seas and then
they're talking about Mike'sharder, her Lemonade, and
they're talking about how like,you know, we're really promoting
this, we're doing a lot of work.
Why do we not have, we havewater, but right now we need
some food.
Like, like, like like betweenboth like Michael Cole and Wade
(34:20):
Barr.
Just trying to like, hey.
Bring us the booze to thecommentary table.
Like, sir, y'all got jobs to do.
And Michael Cole, you alreadysaid it.
Once you start drinking and youget drunk, you're not exactly
the most functioning humanbeing.
Why does that sound like It'd bethe funniest thing.
What?
That's Oh my God.
Oh my God.
(34:40):
No.
So Cardi B was the host.
Mm-hmm.
And they were talking, and Wadewas talking about how, yeah, I
want hear, you know, all theserappers.
You say, oh, you're a guy.
You, you're a real big rap fan.
I want to hear you bust out someCardi B lyrics.
He was like, that'll MichaelCole's response.
That'll be later at the parkwhen I'm drunk.
(35:05):
But yeah, no, we got Women's Tback to, we got women's TLCA.
Briefly.
Briefly.
Candace is able to like recoverafter beef F and everybody else,
she starts to climb.
Montez is, you know, champ, uh,is also is fighting everybody
(35:26):
off Gargano's at the top of theladder.
Mm-hmm.
Candace is at the top of theladder, like they're both trying
to win this for DIY.
Mm-hmm.
Montez is able to like, uh,after Champa fights off,
everybody Monte is, is able tocatch the upper hand kick, uh,
kick Champa back into theladder, tipping Johnny's ladder
(35:49):
into Candace's ladder andCandace goes clean through the
la through a, through a setupladder.
I thought Garo was holding theladder when that happened.
And then Montez got, oh, that'swhat it was into him.
Champa got knocked.
In took Gargano leading garganoto tip set ladder that, that
(36:09):
Candace was his face.
And dude, his face at the end,just pure shock.
Like, like, oh, oh my gosh.
I just put my wife through theladder.
No, TE's face is what killed methough.
Oh, yes.
Oh my.
All all, anytime anything crazyhappens, we should just
immediately panned him on hisvoice.
I swear to God.
(36:29):
Can he be, his facialexpressions are so good every
time.
Oh, he does not disappoint.
But like his face, you couldtell there was a genuine look.
Like it was a look of concern.
But also, my bad, my bad, y'all.
Anyway, continue do the match.
(36:49):
All righty.
So after the unfortunate cam disleray incident, um, Eric Rowan,
he, he gets involved WadeBarrett's commentary.
Talking about Eric Rowland isabout the size of two of these
themes.
If they were to just morph intoone being I, like I was, I was
(37:10):
shouting at, uh, the TV at WadeBarr getting upset about Eric
Row.
I was like, you didn't sayanything about the girls?
No, no, no.
They definitely make commentsand like, bro, why are they
getting involved?
But at the same time would besaying that if Eric Rowen was
Erica Rowan, shut up.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
(37:30):
All right.
So Eric Rowen got back involvedwith the street prophets, um,
and then can talk about how thatman, like took a chair beat down
Yep.
And then got up.
Like he didn't just getbrutalized with a bunch of steel
chairs.
Yep.
Why?
But shortly after Eric Rowangets taken up, who's dread
(37:52):
headed Mappy face mask, but popsup in the middle of that ring,
uncle Howdy.
Stir in the pot a little bit.
Stir in the little pot a littlebit.
Ends up at the top of thatladder with DIY getting, what
was the, that move he does, hewas hitting, he hit them with
the mandible claw mandible clawhits him with the mandible claw
(38:13):
at the top of that ladder.
Like, you're not getting Liz, Idon't, my dead body.
Eventually he, you know, popsoff and then I think it was
Andrati who goes up?
No, there next.
Oh, I just say, so, I just sayit was Ade.
No, it was Phenix.
Phen went up there.
He gets the mandible claw andthen gets saved by Andrati.
(38:35):
There we go.
Um, well that didn't work.
That didn't work out so well forhim because then Andrade got the
drop on him of course.
And, uh, Dexter Loomis, Joe Gacyreturned.
They cleared things out.
One of my favorite moments inthis match, ah, of the year
(38:58):
before we get into these closingmoments.
Mm-hmm.
So Champ has got the titles andthey moved the ladder, I think
the gun then moved the ladderinto the corner.
Frazier gets into the corner,gets onto the ladder.
Y you could tell they're aboutto recreate the, uh, edge and
(39:20):
Jeff Hardy incident from 25years ago.
If you don't remember thatmoment, uh, Hardy's hanging from
the titles Edge Ladder spearingright off the belts.
I'm thinking we're gonnarecreate that moment.
And this just goes to show thecore strength that Tomaso Champa
(39:41):
has progressive man, him able tolike swing his legs and flip so
that way he, there is no actualway to like hold himself upside
down.
My jaw literally dropped whenyou did that.
Are.
Are you kidding?
And Fraser eats the canvas forRazer, for Johnny to then move
(40:02):
the ladder back so Champ can beback upright instead of upside
down like a bat and from thetop.
All right, well I don'tremember.
Was it Loomis or Gacy?
Climbed the ladder.
Gacy.
So then Gacy climbs the ladderto retain the tag team titles as
(40:24):
the crowd is booing.
I don't think any of us actuallyhad, I don't think any of us
really picked the whites to winthat match.
Actually, two of us did.
Oh, on my side.
Ooh, me and I believe Ruo.
Okay.
Okay.
And then Cauldron chose Andratiand FedEx.
Okay.
It was Mia and Ruo that choseit.
(40:46):
Makes sense.
Why at six?
But, all right.
Women's IntercontinentalChampionship on the line.
Becky Lynch versus Lara Ria.
Becky Wind RA can no longerchallenge for the title as long
as Becky has the title man that,oh, it's a match.
What you gotta say about it.
(41:06):
Hanks, my brain immediately wentto the end of the match.
So let's just go through thematch.
Let's go through the match.
First off, crowd interaction,crowd participation really
wasn't there.
I think we're just over thisfeud.
The crowd, the crowd agrees withus.
The, the match itself wasn'tactually mad.
(41:26):
No, no.
I'm gonna say that match isreally good, but I think we're
just tired of this view at thispoint.
Yeah, it did get pretty violentpretty quickly.
Sure did.
Um, going through this match,Becky was able to endure a lot
of lyra's emotional state prettyearly.
(41:47):
We got the introduction of a fewkendo sticks.
Becky probably has gotta be oneof the smartest women on the
roster.
She had an upper hand throughmost of this.
She did.
She did.
And for good reason.
She's, she's not the man for noreason.
Just that, no.
As her intro said, Becky Lynchbeing held down by the man, she
(42:10):
ain't Becky Lynch no more.
She's the man.
She is.
Becky Lynch is being held downby the man.
Exactly.
I will say I do love the newentrance though.
I do too.
I was like, Ooh, new entrance.
Me and Tristan are watching.
We're like, I don't know whenthis happened, but I'm not mad
at it.
I'm not mad at it either.
Well, I missed the Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
We were, we were definitelytalking about that.
(42:30):
But it doesn't fit what she'sdoing right now.
Exactly.
So, but the, the introduction ofthat toolbox able to like get
her able to attack Lyra's ribwith it and then zip tied her
hands together.
Oh my gosh.
I remember.
Yo, you.
Pretty, pretty impressive.
Like how I was able to operatewith no hands for a little
(42:54):
while.
Especially that moon salt.
Cause how do you get, she gottafigure it out.
How do you get proper rotationon a moon salt without being
able to properly use your handsto get yourself over?
I will.
First off, I couldn't even do amoon salt.
I'd be too scared.
I feel like, you know what?
I, I don't, I don't blame you.
'cause same, same girly girl.
(43:16):
Same.
Uh, but going in, you know,we're talking, we're doing this,
you know, zip ties, eventuallylyra's able to break free not
before getting hung up on thering post and getting battered
with a, oh my gosh.
She used her like a pinata.
Oh, Lara needed some time tofigure out how she was gonna get
(43:37):
out of this.
Oh yeah, she definitely did.
Yeah.
Um, one thing we noticed is I'mthe, uh, after she was zipped.
Mm-hmm.
After her hands got zip tied,the belly to belly.
If you watch that segment, whywas hand actually pops out of
the zip tie?
Yep.
I, I noticed the camera, likeshe put, goes away when she put
(43:58):
it back in.
We were like, I know me andCauldron were looking at each
other like, oh, like at that.
There was no other hand in thereat that moment.
Right.
We were like, it was there atfirst and then she hid it.
I looked at Twisted.
I was like, at that point Iwould've just rolled with it.
I would've just taken my freehand, removed the zip type from
(44:19):
the other one and then got backto action.
I'm just saying, I am justsaying, but I get it for the
sake of keeping things healthy,they were supposed to.
I will say one of my, anotherreally f fun moment, uh, it was
ra hiding under the roof.
Pretty great.
Uh, but going into, uh, ourclosing moments, Becky tried to
(44:43):
use this chain.
Uh, on the outside, on ra.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, like he tries to go use itand, you know, she's taking
forever and we're like, allright, something's gonna happen.
Something's gonna happen.
This was like when the table wasover or the chair was over.
Yeah.
She had a crowbar.
(45:03):
That's what it was.
The crowbar.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, so we're like, okay,something's gonna happen.
She's taking a while to reallyget this set up and what
happened?
Here comes Bailey.
Bailey is like, all right, cool.
What well are you doing?
Takes the, takes the crowbarfrom Becky.
He, they get, they manage to getback in the ring.
(45:25):
Bailey's kind of just out thereat this point.
Becky's trying to get Bailey toattack Lyra.
Almost trying to like instigateanother issue.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, saying it's Lyra's faultthat she's in the spot she's in.
Right.
Uh, Becky goes to, or Baileygoes to swing on Becky with the
(45:45):
chain wrapped around her.
Uh, doesn't get Becky hit Lyrainstead the shotgun on Bailey's
face.
Like obviously it wasn't Uhhuhintentional, I don't think Lyra
will see it that way.
Oh no.
Lyra definitely won't see itthat way.
Especially'cause Yeah.
But it, with that, as with thataccidental assist, Becky's able
(46:09):
to take advantage, pick up thethree count, retain her title.
RA no longer gets a chance atthe IC, women's IC title, as
long as the man is holding itand they're gonna reignite the
Bailey Lyra if you, that's thematch.
We wanted to be, we wanted Lyraor we wanted Bailey Becky to
(46:30):
begin with.
So we're, they're clearly doinga, a Bailey Lyra thing, so Yeah.
Yeah.
But All right, go ahead andbring us into the next one, Ms.
Hets.
Alright, the next match for theUS title in a steel cage solo
Koa versus Jacob fa two.
(46:54):
Uh, we know how I feel aboutthis match.
I felt it was lackluster forcage match, especially given we
had so many stipulation matchesin night too.
And this one should not havebeen the most boring.
And it was no, honestly, like,given the two men that were in
this match, I, I expected a lotmore than what we got.
(47:16):
Oh yeah.
Oh yes.
And we all know they can go tothose places.
They've done it, but they were,it was just them for a little
bit.
But once Tu was getting too muchof the upper hand outcomes to,
or Tanga, JC Mateo.
(47:38):
And Tala Tonga, the MFT, theMFTs, the rest of the MFTs come
out and try to, you know, helpsolo out.
Atu goes to try to fight a balloff.
Um, Jimmy Yu also does try torun interference parents.
(47:58):
I applaud his effort, but when Iheard his music and I was like,
you better not come alone.
You're gonna need help.
He comes along.
Could have at least bought achair with you, man.
Yeah, that's what I was hoping.
I was like, why didn't you haveweapon, a chair, a crowbar or
steel pipes on?
Then, although he was able tohelp a little bit, eventually
the numbers took it over and hegot, wasn't even he thrown over
(48:21):
a table.
It wasn't even the numbers, itwas Tyler Tongue is big seven
foot.
But yeah, that guy, freakingtree.
He is a, he is a giant oak treeof a man.
Yes.
Um.
And so eventually they startscaling and Fatu tries to
(48:44):
counter best he can, buteventually he gets handcuffed to
the top of the cage and we thinkit's all over.
Solo is free and clear.
He calls for that door to beopened, but much his dismay,
Fatou has broken the cuffs andgoes to try to drag him back.
(49:09):
Uh, I believe the door getsslammed on him, right?
Uh, he goes to drag him back.
He, he's able to see, see itwith that, that time again.
They're going, they're going atit again.
He goes to solo, goes to escapethrough the door again.
That's when, that's when thedoor gets, uh, smacked on
(49:31):
Jacob's head.
Yep.
And then solo rolls out.
Is able to just fall out of thecage and is able to retain.
And so Tala and Solo start, youknow, making their way towards,
you know, towards the ramp andJimmy Pops up, takes out, I was
(49:54):
like, so you could have poppedup like 45 seconds sooner, takes
out JC Mateo and puts him backinto that cage and closes the
door to an angry Jacob Fatou whodecides to get some of this
anger out, I think are long fromover with these guys crawls up
to the top of the cage and moonsalts onto Toga, LOA and jc.
(50:21):
Oh yeah.
And Solo and Talo are definitelynot in a rush to go help.
You know, you would think, youknow, M fts.
I'm trying, there's two of you.
One of you is big.
You could easily take out Jimmy.
Go help your people.
But no, you don't wanna getyour, your face hurt a little
more.
(50:41):
That's fair.
He's, he's, he's acting likeRoman reigns.
Oh my God.
He's, when Roman res was travelto you.
Everyone else do my bidding.
I've got my enforce you here tomake sure I stay safe.
But the rest of y'all, you havefun.
Better figure it out.
I feel like that's fair.
Um, now going into probably whatwas one of my favorite non
(51:06):
stipulation matches, I can agreewith this one.
Uh, styles and Dom basically thegiant love letter to Eddie
Guerrero.
It was beautiful.
Think about it like Styles comesout in Eddie themed gear in the
(51:27):
low rider with his son.
Yep.
With his son.
Like this whole thing was justa, a giant love letter that to
Eddie.
And a touchback on the, uh, thecustody of Dominic Ladder Match,
uh, 20 years ago.
Oh man.
I need to go back and watchthat.
Oh my God.
You had him come out with hisson who was blonde.
(51:50):
Baby Dom at the time was blonde.
He was a cute kiddo.
Styles comes out in Eddie gear.
Uh, Tom's gear represented hisfather from that time.
It was, it was a lot of fun.
Uh, going into it.
(52:11):
You got to see a lot of similarsimilarity in their fight styles
for the, for, for the most part.
But Dom really did hold his ownagainst a, a true vet.
The true vet that is AJ's style.
It's been nice hearing Dominicget some crowd favor.
Oh my God.
(52:31):
I assume I not you, you're,you're, you're getting to watch
him grow finally.
Mm-hmm.
And not in a bad way.
Like he is really starting tobe, I think he's still getting
used to not being booed.
I think so, but I think, again,I think the crowd is just
appreciating the work that he'sput in.
Mm-hmm.
We could, we've seen him growthroughout the judgment day.
(52:55):
They really taught him some goodstuff.
Oh yeah.
He's, he's, he's a sponge.
Right.
And day difference there.
Yeah.
No, he's, he's a sponge when itcomes to this business.
He's willing to learn prettymuch whatever, whenever.
As long as he is learning.
As long as you're learning and,you know, utilizing what you've
learned to better your career,which he has done props you,
(53:16):
it's been a privilege to see himgrow as a competitor and as a
wrestler.
Like Yeah.
I'm proud of him.
I'm proud of how far he's comeso far.
Oh yeah.
But we, uh, so one of myfavorite moments, Dom.
Undoes the, uh, the turnbuckles.
Ty Nty and Ref wa is watchinghim.
He's like, dude, what the hellare you doing?
(53:39):
So, while the ref is, you know,trying to get the turn buckle
pad out comes down, slides thesteel chair in, smacks the, uh,
the canvas, throws it to styles,lays it down.
Paige, out of Eddie's playbookthrough and through styles is
realizing the ref is almost donewith the turn buckle.
(53:59):
I'm gonna put the chair aroundmy neck.
I'm gonna drop to the floor realquick.
The leg twitch.
Oh my God.
The extra leg twit.
He really tried to solve thatthing.
It was great.
He did, he did well.
Then he left so hard justwatching his leg twitch.
I was, oh my God.
I was like, dude, the level ofcommitment, the rest turns
(54:20):
around, sees both guys are down.
Uhhuh, is it sure what happened?
How it happened?
Lets the match continue.
Smart move.
Who are you gonna put the blameon there?
Right?
Like Styles has been working thelegs.
He hit a couple calf crushes atthis point in the match.
Mm-hmm.
(54:40):
And he hits this most re thislast one and Dom's boot comes
off.
Mm-hmm.
Just, ah.
So we're thinking, you know, theboot broke, whatever.
There's a moment where the refducks so he doesn't get, you
know, caught in the crossfire ofthese guys.
(55:01):
Dom is able to capitalize, usethat boot, hit a frog, splash
and retain his title I, Ithoroughly enjoyed all of that.
Just'cause like one, it wasn'tyour typical Dom Judgment Day
(55:22):
match, like Judgment day didn'tget involved.
They really.
Dom really showed he can do iton his own, but also still was
that underhanded heel.
Mm-hmm.
And again, this whole match tome was just a love letter to
Eddie.
It was after the match that wefound out, found out Dom's boot
didn't break, he loosened it.
(55:42):
He was thinking smart, notharder.
Right, right.
He worked hard or he workedsmart.
Not hard.
Let the boot break.
'cause he, which, which is whatEddie did.
Oh, he was, he was a master at,he loosened that boot.
Eddie's done that before.
So another, again, another pageout of Eddie's playbook.
Uh, he's, but loosened itknowing he can bait styles into
(56:04):
that calf crusher.
And that's where he was able totake advantage so he can retain
his title.
Alright.
Leading into the main event,straight fight for the WWE
championship, John Sita.
(56:24):
Versus Cody Rhodes.
So was an intense tense match.
So I wanna point out Cenadefinitely, uh, stuck to his
word and he's back.
He's back.
We got the collar back.
He was talking to the cameraman.
He was, he was having him.
(56:45):
So a long time.
He was having so much fun.
Mm-hmm.
It was the rundown to the ring,the salute, the Iman to throw my
hat and my shirt to the crowdand came back to us and had a
lot of fun.
It was nice seeing him have funagain instead of stone face.
(57:06):
Yeah.
You know.
But, uh, this match got prettyintense, pretty fast.
There was respect shown in thevery beginning.
And then let's go.
And then immediately this line.
Oh yeah, they definitely, theyweren't holding back from the
start.
There was that little bit ofrespect for one another.
(57:27):
And then let's go.
And then, oh yeah, theydefinitely out the gate fists
were flying.
Um, it was a straight fight, soI don't know how soon Intuit
that we ended up grabbing.
Well, the table was the tablefirst, right?
I believe so.
A after, I thought there wouldbe no more tables that weren't
(57:49):
broken after that TLC match, Imean, yeah.
Um, so can you uh, we, uh, re reuh, so yeah, as we're going,
'cause again, things got realhard, real heavy right out the
gate.
(58:09):
Uh, we got to the outside, uh,was it, I think Cody got thrown
into the steel steps.
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
Could have got thrown.
Okay.
Uh, we pulled off some tables.
We got some chairs.
It's, they, they, they took thisstreet fight stipulation for
advantage with, for everythingthat it, everything that they
(58:32):
could, they didn't waste time.
No.
No, it's not.
Uh, at one point Sena goes topick up the stairs.
Actually.
They're in the ring, the bottomset of the stairs.
To the heaviest part.
Yes.
Like Sena goes to, uh, throwstyles into the chair or into
the steps.
(58:52):
Doesn't work.
Styles is or not Styles.
Roads is able to, you know, kindof counteract slam Cena against
those steps.
Cena's eventually able to sendroads into the outside.
He picks up the stairs.
There really is no good way toblock it.
He throws'em at Cody and we'relike, well sir, yeah, you're
(59:16):
gonna kinda have to eat thatone.
Way Barrett even said it on acommentary.
There is really no good way toblock stairs being thrown at
you.
You're just gonna have to eatit.
Um, but as we're going, you knowRight.
We've seen, we, we got to see anearly five knuckle shuffle.
(59:37):
We got to see, uh, a few AAattempts.
We, uh, get countered.
We saw the crossroads getcounted a few times.
Uh, and even when he was able tohit it, I dunno why you, it's
super senior, bro.
Mm-hmm.
Why did you think one was gonnabe enough to put him down?
(59:57):
But as the, as this matchcontinues, it's actually just
getting a lot more violent.
Mm-hmm.
At one point, I think it wasCody that unscrewed the bottom,
ah, turnbuckle the bottomturnbuckle.
So now he has part of the ropeand he, you.
They're, they're going at it.
He goes to swing it.
(01:00:19):
Cena's able to hit him with anAA and uses the rope, the nail
unfound rope to like strap in anSTF.
That was I, I, I like that alot.
Cody.
That was awesome.
Cody was definitely able to, youknow, get outta, that was great.
Counter where, you know, we'rebuilding towards these closing
(01:00:42):
moments.
Cody hits Cena with a bulldogoff the top, through a table.
That part I, I, I'm thinking,you know, that's where we're
done.
Cena's able to hit, uh, and no,it wasn't Cena's able to hit a,
a few aas, not get the job done.
Cody then posts that Bulldog goat it for, for a few, few more
(01:01:07):
hits.
About three more crossroads tofinally you put the match away.
Walk out of New Jersey, your newWWE e champion.
Should we talk about when they,uh, ended up under the stage and
then popped up through, oh myGod.
So at, at one point in the matchwe're, you know, going through
(01:01:29):
the outside, we're under theentrance stage, and there's that
elevator shaft that Cody hadused during his entrance.
Cena is just carrying this manon his shoulders as they come
up.
We're like, what hits him withan AA on the entrance wrap the
child top one that happened.
Oh dude, it was great, but he'sable to hit him with an AA on
the ramp.
(01:01:50):
You know, they're, they maketheir way back to the ring.
Go again.
They're going at it, you know,this is the biggest prize in the
company.
This is what I want.
This is what I need.
But we get the one, the two, thethree Cody wins.
They have their exchange at theend of show of respect.
(01:02:11):
Cody leaves.
See this kind of just taking in,you know, this is my last summer
slam.
I'm taking in the crowd one moretime.
Taking the crowd know.
Yep.
And then just when you thoughtit was over, just when you
thought it was over.
Much like night one, like I lookat Twisted Like Brother taking
two.
Mm-hmm.
They're taking way too long.
(01:02:34):
I know.
I remember at the end of it, Ihad clicked the button to pause
'cause I had to watch later andI was like, I looked at Cauldron
and I was like, there's stilllike seven minutes left.
I'm like, dude, what is goingon?
And we just stare at each otherin silence for a few minutes.
Then we hear the music and thenyou hear that music, that guitar
riff.
(01:02:54):
And then I just out.
Out comes Brock Lesner and allyou hear is twisted.
That's one scary cowboy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's a very scary cowboy.
Brock Lesner, what are you doinghere?
Well, we all saw the look onCena's face.
Just, uh, he was not happy tosee Lesner.
I don't think any anybody washappy to see Lesner, although I
(01:03:15):
suppose we could not have afair, a farewell to wear
without, without one of hisbiggest rivals though.
Rock Lesner.
Um, so we're Lesner comes down,he kind of paces the ring a
little, puts the, puts his hatdown on the, uh, commentator
table.
Gets in hits, hit Cena with an Ffive walks away.
(01:03:39):
I'm like, yo, well what?
Um, and then they cut and theygo straight into the pro post
show at it's still, you know,Lesner.
Standing outside.
His music's playing.
He's about to walk back.
(01:04:01):
Sena then gets his music playedas he's leaving the arena and
Cena's like, no, I want, I wantto hear this one last time.
Has them turn off his music.
He walks back next few CenaLesner, they, it's gonna be a
fun one.
Mm-hmm.
Because we haven't seen thisdude in a while.
We haven't seen Lesner in areally long time.
