(00:01):
Welcome everybody. As always, Iam Robert with Ringside Podcast and this is
your Ringside extra. UM. Jumpingright into it, we got seth Rawlins
and this comes from w r kD Wrestling on Twitter. UM. The
(00:22):
the sit down interview with Corey Gravesthat seth Rawlins had. It was pre
taped due to seth Rawlins being ata movie taping. Apparently seth Rawlins is
going to be in Captain America NewWorld Order and that that's news to me.
(00:46):
I did not know he was pursuingHollywood, So I mean, that's
great for him, but they goon to say, oh here on this
Twitter. While many backstage are veryhappy for him, there is hesitancy when
(01:07):
it comes to putting the new titleon him. Should these roles continue?
So WWE wants to put the WorldHeavyweight Championship on seth Rawlins. However,
(01:30):
if he was going to be goingthe Hollywood route, then he won't be
available as much. And this titleis about defending it whenever, wherever,
you know, at any time orwhatever they said, so that would play
into it. I could see theirhesitancy to put the title on him.
(01:57):
Should he get cast in more roles? I mean, you already got Roman,
who is seemingly on his way outof WWE. There have been reports
as of the last day or twothat we're gonna start seeing a whole lot
less of Roman because he's going tobe pursuing Hollywood really hard. So that
(02:23):
just means he's gonna hold those titleshostage. Even more so, if you
have Seth also pursuing Hollywood also gettingthese roles, you're going to run into
the same damn issue you already have. So do they put the World Heavyweight
title on AJ Styles instead of SethRawlins at Night of champions And even before
(02:53):
these reports came out, you know, I was like, I know sixty
forty Rawlins would win. You know, I definitely saw it an opportunity for
AJ to to win, But Ireally, I mean this this could go
either way. And I don't know. I think if AJ were to beat
(03:21):
Rawlins at nine of champions Um,you could always because he would be exclusive
to Raw and he's a SmackDown guy, He's probably OC. You could do
a trade for all the OC membersgoing into Raw in return SmackDown were to
(03:50):
get Cody Roads, and then youcould have Roads and Rains part two sorry
at SummerSlam or a future date,So you could go that route. That
(04:18):
would also open the door for somebodylike an La Night or I don't know
John Agar again, I don't knowsomebody, Bronson read anybody. It opens
the door for any superstar to winmoney in the bank because if seth Rollins
(04:42):
wins that title, as seth Rawlinsat nine A Champions becomes the new world
heavyweight Champion, you can mark itdown that night, Cody Rhodes will be
walking out mister money in the bankcome July when they have money in the
(05:03):
bank. If Cody's still on Raw, he's going to win money in the
bank. If Cody gets drafted overto SmackDown, it opens the door for
somebody else to win money in thebank because Cody is already going to be
able to go after Roman, andthat's where it's law most likely leading up
(05:29):
to. So it's interesting. Idon't know where where they go. Ultimately,
I want to see how it playsout in this next you know,
a week and a half. Butright now, as it sits the eighteenth
(05:55):
of May, I'm gonna say sethRawlinson's gonna be your new new world heavyweight
Champion regardless of these reports. However, that can change. We'll just have
to see how things play out.And we are definitely going to be doing
(06:15):
a Night of Champions Predictions show.Most likely it's gonna be after the SmackDown
the night before Nina Champions that Friday. UM, real quick, I want
to throw my Twitter out there podcastunderscored WWE go ahead and follow us,
(06:43):
shoot us some messages that would begreatly appreciated. The next topic we're gonna
dive into is and I hope youalready for a rant, because this is
gonna be. This is infuriating tome at what the fuck they're doing in
(07:05):
the women's title situation. So thedraft was I don't even remembered at this
point. What two weeks ago,three weeks ago, and Riha your SmackDown
(07:25):
women's champion gets drafted to raw,Bianca bell Air, your raw women's champion
gets drafted to SmackDown. All right, that's gotta be addressed. You know
you've got a SmackDown title on araw show, a raw title on a
(07:46):
SmackDown show. It's not a unifiedtitle. It hasn't been addressed. And
want to know why? Why?Why have we not addressed why there is
cross branded titles on our show andthen the show. What the fuck?
(08:09):
Why do you have Ria Ripley holdingup the SmackDown Women's title on Raw?
You're not even on SmackDown, You'reon Raw. Why are you holding up
the SmackDown title? And the samething goes for Bianca. I hear a
(08:30):
little celebration she had here on SmackDownlast week holding up the Raw title on
a SmackDown show. The celebration ona SmackDown show you hold the Raw title.
It looks absolutely absurd. This shiphas to change. They have to
(08:52):
address it. And now you haveOsca and Bianca and Natalia and Rhea.
They're not going to address it,not until this ship they have naew is
(09:13):
over um. If Osca and Biancahave a match at ninety Champions, I'm
sure they're going to. I highlythink that Oscar is going to beat Bianca.
(09:41):
So I don't know where they wouldgo from there, because your stroke
are going to have that be thesame case we're going. Now they can
swap titles, They can to theirrespective fucking shows, which is what they
(10:03):
should do. No fucking title swaps. You didn't win that title. Why
would Riha get the Raw title whenshe didn't even win the Raw title,
she won the SmackDown title. Oscarwould beat Bianca for the Raw title,
not for the SmackDown title. Youwon the Raw title, you go to
(10:24):
the Raw show, you have theSmackDown title, you go to the SmackDown
show. It's elementary. I don'tunderstand what the fuck they're doing. I
would like it if someone could explainit to me. If you have ideas
(10:45):
as to where they're going with this, please shoot me at DM on Twitter,
because I want to know. Idon't understand why they haven't even a
rest it. It needs to beaddressed. Maybe maybe this is all part
(11:11):
of their their plan. Maybe we'regonna get at money in the bank,
the unification match. Who knows,who knows, but tell us tell us.
I doubt they're going to go theunification route. I doubt it as
(11:31):
much as much as I've always said, the division has no depth, The
women's division in WWE, it hasno depth. You have what five six
major top stars and several mid carters. You need more than that to have
(12:01):
two separate titles. I mean,you need to unify these titles. But
they're not, and I'm not harpyon that right now because I know they're
not going to do that. Ijust want a fucking explanation as to why
(12:22):
we're This is what we're getting,and I know we're probably not going to
get one on SmackDown on Friday becausewe're gonna have some Osca and Bianca interaction
that probably leads to imagine Night ofChampions. So that is basically what I
(12:50):
got on that. I don't understandwhat, and I want clarification, hopefully
from somebody out there can shoot mea tweet, because I want to understand
and why it hasn't been addressed.So I'm moving on to our last topic.
(13:11):
Randy Orton. He's been in thenews the last day or two.
His dad, Bob Orton, hassaid in an interview that Randy Ortan is
(13:33):
training, so we'll see what happens. I don't know. He said.
If he feels like he's ready togo back, I think he might,
but again, he's pretty well takencare of. I don't think he needs
to, and I think the doctorshave told him not to, but Randy
will do what Randy wants to do. This has led to a lot of
(14:00):
speculation that maybe Randy Orton is forcedto retire. Um, but and when
you guys can definitely find these articles. Um, if you just you know,
you can type it in Google,UM, find it on Twitter.
(14:20):
Is out there. Everybody's talking aboutRandy Orton right now. UM. I
got mine from Bleacher Report. That'swhy I got this red from here.
Um, But does or is RandyOrton going to retire? Is he not
(14:43):
going to be medically cleared by doctorsforcing him to retire? Um, my
answer would be hell, no,He's not going to retire. Randy's not
going to go out the way hewent out a limp duck against the fucking
(15:07):
USO's and the Bloodline laying him outin RK fucking Bro. He has not
wanting to go out with his lastmemories being of him in Arcade Bro.
He wants to go out known asthe viper, the apex predator. Randy
fucking Orton. He's going back.His daddy even said he's training. He's
(15:31):
coming back. Guys, He's goingto come back. I have a big
feeling this has been thrown out thereas a smokescreen to really hype up every
turn. Maybe Nanda champions. Imean, maybe maybe a surprise entrant in
(16:03):
money in the bank and he wentmoney in the bank and takes out Randy
or takes out Romans. Sorry,who knows. I just I really feel
like they're making it sound like he'snot coming back. They're working us,
They're trying to work us, andin the end, he's gonna pop up
(16:26):
when you least expect him, whichis what he is known for. He's
the viper. He strikes when youleast expect him. He will come back.
He will strike out of absolute fuckingthin air. And the pop is
going to be electric because of thesereports thrown out there as smoke screams.
(16:56):
I now either the out there,I would expect Randy to come back.
I would think, if not atmoney in the back and buy money in
the bank. If not at moneyin the bank, I mean Summer Slam
(17:17):
at the absolute, absolute latest.But I think he's definitely on his way
back and we're going to see himin the next few months. I do
believe. I really hope that youall enjoyed this ringside extra. I'm going
to try to bring them more toyou. Just a couple of quick topics.
(17:41):
Get them out quick episodes. Everybodyloves a quickie. This is a
ringside extra piece
