Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Welcome everybody. This is Robert withWWE Ringside Podcast. I hope everybody's gonna
have a great fourth tomorrow and everybodyenjoyed money in the bank on a Saturday.
This is an extress. I'm gonnatry and keep it quicker. The
first story that I am going totalk about is Roman Rains and we saw

(00:26):
him take his first pinfall in threeand a half years. And today on
Twitter per w RKD, we're gettingJay Usso versus Roman Rains at Summer Slam.

(00:49):
SO nine years ago, jay Ussogave Roman his first ever pinfall loss
in w w E and Jay Usais the one to break Romans three and
a half year pinless record. Sois jay the one who takes the titles

(01:11):
off of Roman? Um, I'mstill I'm still saying no to me.
I think it's gonna be Solo whotakes the title off of Roman, and
we actually get Paul Hayman as themouthpiece for Solo as Roman disappears for a

(01:33):
while. Um, that's what Ithink's gonna happen. I do think it's
coming to an end. Though.This is also from BWE Better Wrestling Experience
on Twitter. He is an Insider, and he states that they are.

(01:56):
They're in the closing chapters of theBloodline story. So to me, that
says the titles are coming off,and I feel like they want to keep
it in the family now. Ido also see some conflicting reports out there

(02:20):
that still state Cody versus Roman atWrestleMania forty. I don't think Roman can
last that long. Typically, whena champion starts getting losses, are taking
pinfalls, their days are definitely numbered. With the titles, and with Roman

(02:46):
taking that pinfall, that tells mehis days are numbered. The aura of
a champion is not being pinned,and that's been taken from So you have
to at some point in the nearfuture get the titles off of him because

(03:13):
the mystique and the aura just isn'tthere anymore with Roman, unfortunately. But
we'll see UM this Friday on SmackDown. It's the trial Tribal Court, the
trial of the Tribal Chief, andthe USOS are going to be are calling
it, they're holding it, sowe'll see what comes of that. I

(03:37):
think we might get some big soloanswers on Friday. UM. Moving forward,
let's go to Drew McIntyre so wesaw Drew mak has come back at
money in the bank and get inthe face of Gunther. Coming out of

(04:04):
WrestleMania, there was a lot ofspeculation about Drew's contract and that's why he
wasn't on TV. It wasn't justthe money, it was also creative.
He didn't feel like he had ameaningful storyline, so there was a lot

(04:31):
of speculation of is he going toa w leaving WWE, and we saw
him come back now per Fightful,they have not come to any agreement or

(04:55):
any extension. His contract is stillset to expire at the beginning of twenty
twenty four. UM, but theywere able to settle on a meaningful story
for him creative plans, thus whyhe is returning. UM. The report

(05:23):
with Fightful also stated that UM,sorry um that Drew Um shit lost my

(05:46):
train of thought. Sorry about that. That's that's awful anyway, um,
Drew McIntyre. UM. So whatpeople don't realize is ww E can add
time onto your contract for sitting outfor contract disputes or conflict with creative,

(06:13):
so you're sitting out. Anything that'snon injury related gets added on. So
you know, Drew really wanted toget something going, so there wasn't time
added on. Now we don't know. Ah, I remember I was gonna

(06:45):
say earlier. I lost my trainof thought. The fight Flu report also
stated that because his contract isn't endinguntil the beginning of twenty twenty four,
there hasn't even been discussions on extendit or getting a new one. Um.
It's it's just too far away andthey will we visit it at a

(07:13):
later date when it gets closer.Um. So with with Drew wanting to
go up against Gunther, there's afew things here. They easily could have
said, Hey, Drew, youknow well, we'll let you get the
title off Gunther. Just come onback and we'll work this out for you.

(07:38):
You know. That's the good sellingpoint, the meaningful storyline. Um.
The other thing is Gunther is soclose to breaking the honky Tonk's honky
Tonk Man's record for the longest icytitle reign. Um. I believe it's

(08:00):
somewhere around September fifth that he breaksit. So if they're wanting Goonther to
break that record, that means SummerSlam is not He's not losing it payback,
He's not losing it, it wouldbe a third paper review. So

(08:20):
do we see a trilogy with theseguys. We get some sort of like
a one on one match at SummerSlam, Goonther wins, we get some
sort of tag match payback or somethingor I don't know, and then the

(08:41):
third pay per review we get himactually taking it after the record has been
broken. I don't know. Ireally think Summer Slam might be Goonther's demise.
And to get Goonther this far andthis close to record is absolutely fucking

(09:03):
ridiculous. How you could have everychampion breaking their records Bianca Roman Austin theory.

(09:24):
You get Goonther this close just days, not just like thirty days a
month just to keep Drew happy.Can't say I agree with it. I

(09:48):
think Drew would be a great champion, and I would love to see him
be Gunther, But I want tosee Goother get the record. Hecas He's
come so far and so close togetting it that him not getting it to
me it is absolutely fucking ridiculous,absolute ridiculous. So we'll have to see,

(10:18):
I mean, what happens with withwith McIntyre here in the next few
months. As far as his contractgoes and with's going through what's going on
there. But it'll be well,we'll get some answers come summer, Sam
for sure, But I don't know. I think it's run for a good
ride, a fun ride and afun match. I think with those two,

(10:43):
all right. So, also atMoney in the Bank, we saw
Shannon Basler turn on Randa and absoluteshocker to to a lot of people.
No one saw it coming and youknow, coming out of Money in the

(11:03):
Bank. There were reports as towhy it happened, and I'm sure a
lot of you've already kind of readup on it. It sounds like Rhonda
Rousi might be done with the WWEthis run. Um, it sounds like
she is pursuing a comeback in theUFCUM. So she wants to give shine

(11:33):
Shina, give Shana the rub kindaand on her way out kind of shine
her a little bit. Um.Shana is what got Ronda into the business.
Um, she introduced her to thebusiness. It wasn't something that Ronda

(11:54):
really wanted to do. And youknow, she came in and she had
some moments good and bad. Shestill can't talk on the mic to save
her fucking life. But I don'tknow. We might not see Ronda again

(12:18):
in the WWE. It sounds likewe're going towards a Summer Slam match Randa
ralstever Shana Basler, and there's noreason to think that Rondo w win that
match. She wants to send Shanaoff on a high note while Randa goes

(12:41):
out. So I do think thatit's for the better get get Ronda out
of here. She's made it veryclear that she doesn't want to be there.
She's disrespected the company, I thinkwith changing the name of the belt

(13:07):
just because she wanted to, andyou know, her name value isn't there
anymore. It might come back withUFC, but it's not there anymore.
So we will see over the nextfew weeks with Runda and Shana kind of
how it how it flows, howit goes and at Russell at SummerSlam or

(13:37):
shortly after, she'll be on herway out of the company. Um.
The last thing I'm going to talkabout tonight also came from running the bank.
We saw John Cena. That wasa big surprise to a lot of
people. Also, he had mentionedRustlemania in London and this is definitely a

(14:03):
talking point and that's most likely whatthey wanted to make. But we're here,
we're talking about it like everybody else, and damn is Vince a fickle
old man? Like the only reasonit was mentioned it's because a W has

(14:33):
all in next month at Wimbley Stadiumand you throw this out there a month
before to kind of shine over itthat Rustlemania might be coming. You know,
a W sold sixty five thousand ticketsand not one match has been announced

(14:58):
yet for their card. And Vincebeing Vince, you know, he's thinking,
well, if they can do that, what management we can do?
You know, he sees this biggate. They're getting things close to nine
million, and Vince wants a pieceof it. Vince wants to try and

(15:31):
out sell AW. He wants tosell more tickets than them, proved to
them that that WW is a biggerproduct. It's a superior wrestling show.
And you know it wouldn't happen ifAW wasn't going there. You know,
where were these talks? You knowthere were reports that's dating that you know,

(15:56):
well it was supposed to happen buta few years ago, but Cardiff
paid up more since that effect,But those reports aren't true. They are
and they aren't to an extent um. So WWE had a price and London

(16:30):
didn't want to pay it. Theydidn't want it. Cardiff did. Cardiff
paid for it, so they gotit. So you know, now London
wants it. There's the fans wantit, you know. So yeah,

(16:53):
I don't know. I just feellike if AW wasn't going to win,
we wouldn't be seeing had of theconversation. And do they go to London?
London? I do? I thinkthey're going to London, you know.

(17:18):
My guess would be WrestleMania like probablyforty two or forty three. Um,
I think Rustlemania forty one will behere stateside, maybe somewhere like Vegas,

(17:40):
New York, Chicago. He canprove that he's a bigger market in
Chicago than they do. I wouldn'tbe probably did that either. Um.
But so I want to hear youguys think about this whole AID W London,

(18:03):
WWE Wressellmany London fiasco. What doyou think? Why is this being
brought up now? Why is itbecause of AW or is it just because
they want to go international? Andthat could be it too. There could
be some of it, but Idon't know, This was a good quick

(18:25):
episode of an extra you can findout on Twitter at podcast Underscore. W
WE helpe you off a safe,happy fourth and I will talk to you
later. A piece
