Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wh Hey everybody, This is the Wrestling Podcast to by
(02:38):
Alan Graham, Episode one hundred and sixty one. So today
I'm gonna talk about is Cody Rhods versus rand Jorton
in twenty twenty six is going to be really great
At WrestleMania forty two Next year, Randy Orton will turn
heel on Cody Roads to give Cody Roads an r KO.
(02:59):
No what I'm ready for this year. In my opinion,
I think it was rand Yorton that attacked Jacob Fatu instantly,
and Jacob Faughtu is gonna blame Cody Rhodes if he
attacked him, that would instantly be the biggest swerve in
my opinion. That'll be the biggest swerve in my opinion,
if Cody Roads is a heel, I think Cody Roads
(03:21):
is a heel, would be fantastic, But he has to
stay as a face as long as he has to.
But if they pull that trigger early, not like Cody
Roads is a heel, it's going to feed a ton
of families, which is actually pretty pretty good. But ran
Yorton winning at WrestleMania forty two, I think it's gonna
(03:43):
be a definite Yes, because you know why, he has
to win number fifteen. First, he's gonna be codierro a
WW Championship. But I would do a triple. I would
do a fatal four way match between Jacob Fatu versus
Cody Rhoads first, Ran Yorton versus Drew macattire, maybe at
the Royal Rumble for the WW Championship. That would be
(04:04):
fantastic booking and exciting news. I'm gonna talk about is
Iliot Dragonoff or turned on Friday's Backdown to challenge Sami's
Ain for the United States Championship and Ilya Dragonoff won
the United States Championship. This match with a banger and
shout out to Sami's Ain man Samy's Ain hold it
down for the United States Championship. Like competitors man Ilia
(04:29):
dragon Off, he was the right person to get the
belt off of Sami's Ain. That was just unexpected. I
thought it was gonna be OpenH femi. But I think
WW did right. They did the right call. In my opinion.
It was the first time he faced Italy dragon Off.
Holy crap, Ilia Dragonoff, so he shredded right now. My
mind's like as what the hell like? Oh my god like.
(04:53):
Shout out to Ilia dragon Off and Sami's Ain. That
match was a banger. But after a match the MFT
is like they attacked Sammy's Ain and Ilio Draggon off
the new United States Champion, Man Man Man Man. This
match was such a banger, and Sammy's Ain did seven defenses.
(05:15):
He did seven open challenges instantly, one of the better
defenses in my opinion. But Ili dragon Off, He's gonna
have that belt for a little while in my opinion.
But shout out to Eliot dragon Off and Sammy's Ain.
They put on a banger last night. They put on
a banger. And next I'm gonna talk about his potential
heel turn. Cody Rhodes might turn heel because he attacked
(05:40):
Jacob Flatt to backstage on Friday Night's back Down. Is
Cody Roads turning into the dark side, turning to the
dark side really soon? That would instantly be the biggest swerve.
Like Randy Or tried to hit RKO at Cody Rhods,
Like Cody Road's gonna say hell well, no, hell no,
(06:01):
He's gonna say hell now no matter what it takes.
But I think he's gonna hit across Roads on Cody
on Randy Orton instantly, and we're gonna get a Cody
heel turn instantly. It's gonna be like a slow burn
in my opinion. But Cody Roads, he took out Drew
McIntyre last night, Holy shit, Oh my god, like Cody
(06:24):
Rhods like he's not playing. They want to turn him
heel so bad, but they couldn't do it this year
because you know what, Cody's too good as a face.
But next I'm minute talking about his potential. We might
get Ilia Dragonof versus Carmelo Hayes again at WrestleMania forty
two for the United States Championship. Know what, this is
(06:44):
Mellow's belt to win instantly. If he wins Amy Carter,
that's actually good for him. That's waiting for him to
win the United States Championship from Ella Dragon Off. They
had fantastic matches in NXT. They're gonna run it back
instantly in my opinion. Next I'm gonna talk about is
the MFTs and the Wide Six had a standoff on
(07:06):
Friday's Backdown. This was after the Illly Dragonoff and Sammy's
a match that was a banger match and Nikki Cross
and Solo so Cola locked eyes. In my mind's like
his ah crap, this is some foreshadowing crap. But I
think the mft's versus the Wide six, They're gonna feed
(07:26):
families instantly and next I'm gonna talk about it. It's
very very sad. Seph Ralls's World two championship brains are awesome.
Man twenty twenty four through twenty twenty five, that was
actually a fantastic rain in my opinion. I met I
met the other way around the twenty twenty three rain
and through twenty twenty four rain was actually the best
(07:49):
one I got. That confused are awesome. He is the
MVP this year and last year he was the MVP
for Russell Mania of forty and Russell MANE forty one.
He doesn't get enough credit for what he does because
you know why, Sephrons, he's the goat. Like him, Roman Reigns,
(08:09):
John Cena, even Raemasirio Seamus instantly, all of them are
Hall of famers in my opinion, but Cephrons he's a
whole different level this year. But now we have to
vacate the World Heavyweight Championship. That's actually sad to me
because why his reign was going so good. But man,
(08:31):
the shoulder injury is gonna take him out to like
eight to twelve months, and I'm gonna miss seph Rals instantly.
They're riding him on off on TV for like eight
to twelve months, so like he's gonna win the World
Heavyweight championship again when he comes back. And that's the
last question I talked about speed recovery to seph Rons.
(08:52):
Wish you luck man on that surgery. We love you
man and we miss you. Stay tuned for the Fast
Food and Moderation podcasts, and the new one I'm doing
is the Fast Food podcast that's gonna be on like
December thirty, first New Year's Eve, so stay tuned for that.

See you down the road, peace,
