2
00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:13.720
the web. Just turn Roman Heel. What is WWE Waiting for another wrestling

3
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:19.320
podcast put you to sleep? You
can count on the WWE Podcast to get

4
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:24.320
you engaged and asking for more.
I've been watching wrestling for over twenty years

5
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:28.120
and that was one of the best
matches I've ever seen. This is unlike

6
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:33.520
any other wrestling analysis. So without
any further delay, let's get this show

7
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:41.479
started right now. Welcome to the
WWE Podcast. It is Saturday, November

8
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:48.000
twenty third, two nineteen, the
day before Survivor Series NXT Takeover War Games

9
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.640
is going on as we speak,
and I wanted to make sure that this

10
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:56.359
preview show predictions show got out so
that you guys could take a listen and

11
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:02.479
get yourself geared up for tomorrow night's
or tonight's depending on when you're listening Survivors

12
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.840
Series event. And it is heavy
on triple threats, so if you love

13
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:11.079
triple threats, you are going to
get more than your fill for that show,

14
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:17.239
which is filled with just hours,
literally hours of triple threat matches when

15
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.519
you put it all together, and
some intriguing ones as well as much as

16
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:25.000
I you know, I may have
downplayed or critique this whole storyline of brand

17
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.879
supremacy nonsense, of which I still
one hundred and twenty percent stand by that

18
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.680
it's complete non SI school garbage.
This should be from a wrestling perspective,

19
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.959
all that you can eat. I
mean, this is a buffet that you,

20
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.799
you know, underpaid and over delivered, you're going to get. I

21
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:45.920
think high level of, high level
of quality in terms of the match star

22
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:52.480
ratings, particularly with the AJ styles
Roderick Strong and shins Kannakamura triple Threat,

23
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.280
the Women's triple Threat with Shana Baysler
Bailey and Becky Lynch's I think positioned to

24
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.120
be one of the top matches of
the night and I'm looking forward to that

25
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:05.640
match probably the most. The five
on five on five. Yeah, I

26
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:09.479
did not stutter. It's five on
five on five times two matches. I'm

27
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:15.360
really not a fan of Elimination style
is fun when it's five on five and

28
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:19.439
the match actually makes sense to happen. But in this case, I've just

29
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:24.120
kind of conceded and go, whatever, this will not matter come Monday night

30
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.599
when they're in Chicago. So you
know, look, I think it's gonna

31
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.360
be a good pay per view,
but I think we're all going to be

32
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:38.240
worn out of the Triple threat and
brand supremacy garbage. So anyway, Ashley

33
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.840
is with us today and we covered
obviously their predictions for Survivor Series. We

34
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.919
also get into whether or not we
think we'll see CM punk during this three

35
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:51.840
night event of war Games and then
Survivor Series and Mondaynette Raw, and we

36
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.680
don't completely rule it out. I
will tell you that and how it could

37
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.840
happen. I think Ashley came up
with a really damn good idea of how

38
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.280
it could possibly happen and how to
get some heal heat out of it.

39
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:06.400
So we cover that and a whole
lot more, including could the Undertaker show

40
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.759
up? How does Daniel Bryan fair
against the Fiend? Does he have a

41
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.439
chance in hell of winning? Does
raym Mystereo have a snowballs chance in hell

42
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:17.560
of winning? We cover all of
these questions and just so much more.

43
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:22.960

00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:24.639
Always excited to have Ashley on.
I know you guys love her. I

59
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.040
have always had great chemistry with her. She's a mainstay of this show,

60
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.959
and she's back and we're discussing Survivor
series and we did a little bit of

61
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.319
math as you'll hear at the very
end of the show. I also catch

62
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:40.000
her right before the TLC pay per
views, so we had a long string

63
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:44.079
of being able to do preview shows
together, prediction shows, and that string

64
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:48.279
will continue into TLC, as I
talked to her the day before TLC,

65
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:55.000
which is December fourteenth or thirteenth,
I can't remember. So if you like

66
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:59.399
Ashley and I am prediction shows,
well, the gods of wrestling have aligned

67
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.160
once again to bring you a prediction
show of her and I together. So

68
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.839
already, well, I think that's
it. I think we're ready to get

69
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:15.480
going and we're ready to talk Survivors
Series predictions with Ashley and myself. All

70
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.199
Right, welcome to the de We
podcast on this Survivors Series preview show when

71
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.399
we're gonna go through all of our
predictions. We've got some big ticket items

72
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:28.759
to talk about that happened during this
crazy week of wrestling, and I welcome

73
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.079
back Ashley through the show. And
we were on our cycle for a while

74
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.759
of doing preview shows doing prediction shows. We broke that of the last month

75
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.839
or so and now we're back on
it. So Ashley, welcome to the

76
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.600
show. Always a blast to have
you here. Yes, it's so great

77
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.560
to be back and I'm happy we're
back on our schedule. That's fun doing

78
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.759
the prediction shows with you. I'm
looking up now still to see if we're

79
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:54.439
on track for TLC as well,
so I'll let you know later on.

80
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.600
But I'm happy to be here talking
to you tonight. Yeah, definitely,

81
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.000
and yes, that's your homework assignment. Please. I'm very curious to see

82
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.079
if we are now going to be
stuck on our previous cycle, which wasn't

83
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.199
a bad thing. It just was
pretty funny the way that it happened to

84
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:12.240
land every single every single month.
But yeah, so we're gonna get into

85
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.720
the Survivor series deal. There's so
much to dissect, I mean, and

86
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.000
yes, there isn't going to be
a whole lot of positivity at least on

87
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.160
my end, just from this whole
structure of the serv series. But there

88
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:27.319
are some matches that I'm really really
looking forward to. So there's there's definitely

89
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.480
good with the bad here. But
before I do, I know that you

90
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.920
do a podcast beyond this that is
live on Facebook, So let everyone know

91
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.920
what that is, where they can
find it, and a little bit about

92
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.839
what the show is. Yes,
I do. It is called Wrestle Rewind.

93
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:47.040
We air live every Thursday at eight
eight thirty, So if you want

podcasts, we are there, so
feel free to check us out. Definitely,

99
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.439
I've watched you guys the last few
weeks, and you guys are pretty

100
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.319
good. I mean I can say
I can say that with all seriousness,

101
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:16.519
like, you guys are pretty good. I like the little setup you've got,

102
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.399
the topics are good. You guys
seem to have good chemistry. I

103
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.519
would like them to center you a
little bit more in the video. It

104
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.920
seems like you're always off to like
just the side where I'm like, I

105
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.920
think I can see Ashley, you
know, like, but I know,

106
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.560
I know we're working on it,
working on it's it's it's funny because a

107
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:39.680
little peek behind the curtain really quick. We film in Tommy's spare guest room,

108
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.800
so we're kind of limited on space
right now. He's moving soon,

109
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.680
so I think all that's I'm going
to change in the near future. So

110
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.399
right now we're limited on space,
so I really don't want to be right

111
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.439
on top of my little partner.
There's smooky Z, so I try to

112
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.480
keep my space. But yeah,
Jam and I go back and watch it.

113
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.439
Sometimes we're like, wow, you
can barely see me. So I

114
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.079
definitely try to keep that in mine. But yeah, sometimes I just fade

115
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.839
off there on the side. Oh
alright, so the secret has now been

116
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:11.040
revealed as to why Ashley is just
in the video. Okay, so now

117
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:15.000
it makes total sense. Yeah,
okay, see you're you are You're pulling

118
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.519
the curare You're like David Copperfield pulling
the curtain back? So all right,

119
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.879
Well, actually, look, this
is a this is a week in which

120
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.160
I view this and maybe I'm a
little bit I don't know, preemptive on

121
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:31.680
this, but I view this sometimes
as the unofficial start to WrestleMania, because

122
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.240
when you look back at previous years
of the last ten to fifteen years,

123
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.559
there have been at times seeds planted
at Survivor series that led all the way

124
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.440
to WrestleMania. So I mean personally
that that's how I look at it.

125
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.440
I don't have a lot of faith
sometimes in the booking team to go that

126
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.200
far. But do you see,
as this is a pay per view,

127
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:56.320
that's you know, maybe something like
that could happen tomorrow night. Maybe.

128
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.679
Honestly, I've never really looked at
it like that in that perspective before,

129
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.480
so, but as you were saying
that, I immediately thought of staying.

130
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.080
So that was kind of like his
little launching point there, and then I

131
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.600
believe he faced a triple age later
on at that year's WrestleMania, so that

132
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:20.039
you may be onto something there.
Honestly, I don't know. I for

133
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:26.039
WrestleMania's sake, I don't think so, just because I think right now their

134
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.600
main focus is just on tomorrow and
then I kind of feel like starting on

135
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.080
Monday, we're going to get a
clean slate. So honestly, I don't

136
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.840
see any of these feuds or I
don't. I don't per see anything starting

137
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.519
tomorrow and I but I hope I'm
wrong. I very well could be wrong.

138
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.440
Do you have any idea? Yeah, I mean no, I don't.

139
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.039
I just in years past, as
you said, Sting was number one.

140
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.480
Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker was another
one back in two thousand and ten,

141
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.679
I think it was, so there
have been in but again, these

142
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.840
are these are matches that are you
know, once in a lifetime, you

143
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.799
know, legendary top ten matches that
you would you would foresee going from this

144
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.440
point to to WrestleMania. But yeah, again, do I think that's gonna

145
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.720
happen? Probably not so. I
guess an easier question would be, what

146
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.360
are what are some of the matches
that you're actually looking forward to And we'll

147
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:16.960
get to predictions, but just off
the top, like, hey, like

148
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.120
this is a match or these are
the matches that I really am looking forward

149
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:26.360
to seeing. I think, first
off, I'm really looking forward to the

150
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:31.440
triple threat match between Shensky and Kamara
Aj and Roderick Strong. I think that's

151
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:37.519
gonna just steal the show. And
I'm I'm very curious. I'm not going

152
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.960
to give away my take yet,
but I'm curious to see who they give

153
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.200
the nod to it this one.
I'm wondering if it's gonna be a clean

154
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.440
sweep like it was last year,
but this year, have anext just win

155
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.720
all the matches. Again, we'll
go more in depth into that later,

156
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.679
but that could kind of lead to
my pick there. But yeah, I

157
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.039
think that one for sure. I'm
definitely looking forward to it. I'm also

158
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.559
looking forward to the beculent Shana Basler
and Bailey match as well. I think

159
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.759
that's just gonna I think that would
be right up there with the A J

160
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.559
and Roderick Strong and Shins Gay match. Yeah, I'm with you there.

161
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.360
I noticed you didn't mention any of
the five on five on five on five

162
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:22.080
on five matches, which will get
to of course, and I'm with you

163
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.399
there. I would put the AJ
Styles match, Roderick Strong and Shinskay probably

164
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:30.320
in my number two. My number
one probably that I'm looking forward to the

165
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:35.320
most would be the women's triple threat
between Shana Basler, Becky and Bailey.

166
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.960
I mean that was up there to
my number three'd probably be probably Brock Lesner

167
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.679
and Ray Mysterio, believe it or
not, just out of my own curiosity

168
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.720
as to just the way Paul Hayman
sells things. Just I mean, it's

169
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:48.919
just like here, Paul, take
my money. I mean, seriously,

170
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:54.200
this guy when he would say either
a miracle or a massacre, like just

171
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.639
beautiful God, just I'm just like, he brings tears to my eyes.

172
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.720
The way he cuts pro most this
guy's a damn genius. So yes,

173
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:07.399
it's gonna be a miracle or a
massacre. And I am really I mean,

174
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.919
I think it's gonna be a massacre, and and my blood lust is

175
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.440
hoping that it's a massacre just because
that's just what I want to see from

176
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.840
brock Lesser, because that's what he
is. So anyway, giving away that

177
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.759
prediction isn't exactly giving away a prediction
as is a spoiler. I just see

178
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:28.000
no way that ramos Stia can win
that. So yeah, I don't predict

179
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.000
for see miracle. But again that's
the beginning giving anything away. So before

180
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.960
we get into some of the actual
predictions for Survivors series, what were some

181
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.320
of the big things from this week? Any I mean so much to really

182
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:43.960
pick from. I mean, you
really have the NXT invasion every single time

183
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.080
that there's a w w r R
SmackDown show. We have the Fiend,

184
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:54.759
and we have Daniel Bryan and that
whole story and Daniel Bryan getting now attacked

185
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.519
again this week with the mandible claw. I guess that's what they're gonna call

186
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.279
it until they find another name for
it. So what were some of the

187
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:09.000
big things this week that you took
away and wanted to discuss. Yeah,

188
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.559
I think, I honestly think they've
done very well with NXT. I mean,

189
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.960
look, I don't think any of
us really are fans of a whole

190
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:22.720
brand versus brand versus brand concept.
But I think so far they actually have

191
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.440
protected NXT and I think they've done
very well with everyone who's been involved.

192
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.759
So I am, I'm I'm very
happy with that. You know, w

193
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.360
B could have very easily let all
these guys come in and squash them.

194
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.919
But I mean, and don't get
me wrong, you know, tomorrow I

195
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.399
hope, I hope this doesn't happen, of course, but they could,

196
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:41.080
you know, do the exact opposite
of when I'm praising them for now and

197
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.360
squash in next. But I don't, I don't see that. I think

198
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:50.080
things are completely different now for this
year's Survivor series. I think NXT has

199
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.600
a fair shot tomorrow night, and
I'm really I think they're just the build

200
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.679
up to Survivor series, and especially
this week with the go home shows,

201
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.679
NXT really shine and like Rio Ripley
and Adam Cole, they just I think

202
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:07.120
they really stood out in Keith Lee
on SmackDown and It's interesting because they were

203
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:13.879
on SmackDown and the Chicago crowd was
channing for NXT. I don't know if

204
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:18.279
that's just Chicago being Chicago, or
if that's just a sign that NXT is

205
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.159
over and people and then in the
fan base and in general is it's silently

206
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.039
behind NXT. So that was kind
of interesting when I was watching SmackDown.

207
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.879
But yeah, I'm just I'm I'm
kind of like, okay with the build

208
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.000
up. I guess it is what
it is. I think there was a

209
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.480
little too many just all out brawls. But I'm happy that Survirus series is

210
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.919
here tomorrow so we can kind of
get through this and then just have NXT

211
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.279
go back to doing their own thing
in their own world, and then just

212
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.960
having SmackDown and raw actually be able
to utilize talent on their respective shows and

213
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:56.399
just go forward from here and lead
towards the WrestleMania season coming up, because

214
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:01.080
we're I think, what five months
away from WrestleMania ready or something like that.

215
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:03.759
It's insane. Time flies, but
yeah, crazy, yeah, I

216
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.159
mean I always view it as I
mean, yeah, could things happen tomorrow

217
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.879
night that that leads to a WrestleMania
match maybe again to your point, probably

218
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:18.159
not. But you know, the
very first raw after the new year is

219
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.639
always a big show because that puts
you right on the road to WrestleMania.

220
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:24.639
So we are a month awave,
really, I mean, because then it'll

221
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.720
be the end of December and then
boom you're right into January and it's road

222
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:33.080
to WrestleMania. So we are really
close, closer than you really think,

223
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.919
you know. So, But to
your point about this past week, it

224
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.720
was all about NXT. You know. The Keighley and braun Strowman interaction was

225
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.480
interesting. Again, it maybe interesting
from the perspective of oh new matchup.

226
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.840
I've never seen this, never thought
about this, and yeah, that's cool,

227
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.799
but as you said, at the
end of this, everyone's going back

228
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.159
to their own worlds. This means
nothing other than bragging rights. And how

229
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.679
can anyone claim brand supremacy unless they
have a sweep. Even if they did,

230
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.639
that doesn't matter because we saw what
happened last year beyond the pre show

231
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:10.720
match that SmackDown got swept clean and
I mean zero, So this whole brand

232
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:14.080
spremacy thing, I've ranted about it
for weeks now. It means zero.

233
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.600
But I think NXT more than anybody. NXT right now is the is the

234
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.240
baby facing this whole thing, and
I think SmackDown and Raw are the heels.

235
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:26.159
I mean, because NXT is the
cool brand. They feel like an

236
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.679
anti brand, even though they're all
under the same umbrella of WWE. It's

237
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.720
it's a genius move. So regardless, Wind Loser draw tomorrow night, and

238
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.519
I think they'll win, probably one
of the bigger matches, and I'll leave

239
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.120
it at that, but I think
they're going to get a solid, a

240
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.919
clean victory, a big victory,
a memorable one, and that is what's

241
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.759
going to make I think the difference
here is not just that win, but

242
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.840
also just getting the exposure on one
of the biggest pay per views of the

243
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.080
year, Survivor series. NXT has
gotten a lot more eyeballs on them than

244
00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:03.600
had they not just had this invasion
angle and had this three on triple threat

245
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:07.880
match, because they would have just
been sitting on Wednesday nights and they wouldn't

246
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.640
have got in front of eyeballs that
just go I don't really know what NXT

247
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:12.880
is, but now we're forced to
watch it, even though you know,

248
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:17.640
people who aren't watching it are now
watching NXT and may tune in now to

249
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:22.119
Wednesday night to see these guys and
gals fight, and that's I think the

250
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.440
ultimate win here is exposure for NXT, regardless of even if they lost all

251
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.559
three matches, all four matches whatever. So right now, the big win

252
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.519
here is NXT and getting the exposure
that they deserve. Yeah, exactly,

253
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:38.519
And you kind of just stated there
what I was about to say myself.

254
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:41.880
And I think this week showed but
they were and I'm not one of those

255
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:48.160
people who really reads into ratings at
all, but this week was interesting and

256
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.920
that NXT finally won the first week
against AW and again, of course you

257
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.799
know that there was a lot of
like asterisks with that. You know,

258
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.559
you had stars from on SmackDown showing
up, and obviously there's a lot of

259
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.680
hype and build up to it.
So of course if any week they were

260
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:04.000
going to win, it would be
this week, or you would hope.

261
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.720
So, but I think obviously next
week is gonna be more telling in that

262
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:11.319
sense to see if this momentum can
continue for them. And I think regardless,

263
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:17.640
this is a win win for WWE. They kind of double dips.

264
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:22.720
They got all of their main stars
into all three of their main shows after

265
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.839
the draft and the build up to
Savir series. So it was just perfect

266
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:30.279
timing. And I think this was
like ideal because next week everyone knows NXC

267
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.400
if people watching ron smacked on,
you've seen these guys, and hopefully,

268
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.880
and I think it will, the
majority of people who recently tuned in this

269
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.119
week will be invested in Anim Cole
and Rodert Strong and the Undisputed Era and

270
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.559
Ria Ripley and Shannon Base learn all
of them going forward. So I think

271
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.400
this is a win win regardless of, like you said, what happens to

272
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.960
the individual magic s tomorrow night.
It really is. And I mean that's

273
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.720
a good point too. The real
telling tale sign will be not necessarily this

274
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:04.359
week because nx or rsr AW doesn't
have that advantage, doesn't have that luxury

275
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:10.559
of pulling from other brands that are
more successful to bring into their you know,

276
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:14.319
their their redheaded stepchild brand, to
get more exposure, of bringing stars

277
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:18.720
into that brand, which inherently will
up the ratings. So now that they

278
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.279
don't have that next week, assuming
we all go back to you know,

279
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:27.319
normal world, is what happens after
that? Because was this whole to me,

280
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.119
this whole thing, this whole build
has just been nothing more than a

281
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:34.880
big advertisement for an XT. And
look, I'm not bashing them because if

282
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:38.240
I was trying to build a third
brand, that's good to do. That's

283
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:45.559
what exactly. You have big brother
and big sister brand. Why wouldn't you

284
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.640
want to expose your little you know, step redhead stepchild for you know,

285
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.519
lack of a better term, to
those brands to get more eyeballs on the

286
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.400
product that you want to also build. So that is to me what the

287
00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:00.680
goal was. It's just been nothing
more than one big informer soul for NXT.

288
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.039
But that's that's fine because they're running
a business and that's what they're trying

289
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:07.680
to do and I support that you
do. Yeah. So, oh,

290
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.640
one more thing I didn't ask you, and I have to ask you before

291
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.680
I forget, is is do you
think there is any I think you're about

292
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.480
to know where I'm gonna go here? Is there any possibility at all that

293
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.359
you could see since we because we
haven't talked since this happened, of C

294
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.799
I'm punk like at all. Look, I mean they're in Chicago for four

295
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:32.079
nights and now three nights after you
know, NXT takeover and then the war

296
00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:36.200
games rather, and then you have
Surpriber series, and then you have Moneyette

297
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:40.920
Raw. What do you think I
mean, is there any possibility? The

298
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:44.799
thing is, I won't. I
don't. I don't think there really is

299
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.240
a great opportunity or a great chance
given Punk's answers. Although he's likes to

300
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:52.319
be cryptic and likes to you know, uh, put people, you know,

301
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:55.720
drive people the wrong way and put
you know, fake news out there

302
00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:59.119
or make people think, and he's
good at mind games with all this kind

303
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:02.799
of stuff. But I will say, I don't think Punk's going to show

304
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:06.000
up. That's my short answer.
But I do think that during matches that

305
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.400
people don't give a damn about,
you're gonna hear CM punk chants, probably

306
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:12.359
you know, heavy throughout the night. I think there's gonna be a lot

307
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:18.079
of cmpunk chants, people going nuts
for CM Punk and the possibility of him

308
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:25.039
coming out. What do you think? You know? It's funny me and

309
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:33.880
my friends were talking about this on
Thursday. I think there's every part of

310
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.920
me wants to say yes. But
I think that w B is expecting people

311
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.400
to kind of see that and kind
of expect that in a weird way.

312
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:47.519
If that makes sense, So I
think just because all the stars are aligning,

313
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:52.079
and Renee even mentioned it on backstage
earlier this week, I don't think

314
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:56.519
that happens. If anything, I
could see, well, I take that

315
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:02.039
back, So my initial response is
in my short answer is no. But

316
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:06.279
if they do go that route,
I could see either one or two things

317
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:12.440
happening, either his music playing and
a heel coming out like a Baron Corbin,

318
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:18.519
because what other way to get just
a stupid amount of heat? Then

319
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:22.880
having Shampunk's music play in Chicago and
having like a Baron Corbin come out,

320
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.920
or just somebody wanted to get like
massively over like that would just be you

321
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:33.400
know, just insanely just heat magnetizing
right there. So I don't think it

322
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:38.400
is Sampunk mentioned on backstage this week
that he didn't really know who Baron Corbin

323
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:41.440
was, so I could just see
if WB wants to have fun with it,

324
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:47.000
maybe something like that happening, or
if he does show up like you

325
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:52.400
mentioned earlier, I could see if
they do want to start something here or

326
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:57.559
plant his seed, him coming out
and interrupting any maybe Seth Rawlin segment,

327
00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:03.440
or interrupting the Imagine coming on,
causing Seth the magic just interacting with Seth

328
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:08.119
in some former fashion. So I
could see if he does make an appearance

329
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:14.079
in doing something like that, but
my initial response would be no, just

330
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:17.519
because if he is even open up
coming back, and this is something they've

331
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:19.079
actually been discussing, I think they're
gonna want to hold it off for a

332
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:26.400
little bit longer. Yeah, I
mean, like you said, that could

333
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:33.440
be a really really good way to
get a heel over and massive heat is

334
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:38.640
to play the music the fans lose
their minds. I mean, I'm gonna

335
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:41.519
sit at home and jump. I
mean, yeah, it would be.

336
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:47.799
It would the internet would explode and
the building would explode, only to have

337
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:52.039
somebody else come out and just smile
all the way to the ring. People

338
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:53.680
would I mean, I think there
would be drinks thrown out the person.

339
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:57.400
I mean it would be. It
would be amazing to watch. I would

340
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:00.119
be piss sitting at home, But
that's what they're going for, and I

341
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:04.200
get it. I mean I think
back to it's happened before a couple of

342
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:08.319
times, big times. I can
remember when Austin walked out and his music

343
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:12.680
played, and this is when,
obviously when awesome was gone, and I

344
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:17.200
think Flair came out, or maybe
it was Batista somebody else came out and

345
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:22.079
they got massive heat. The other
time was Bret Hart when Sean Michaels was

346
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.559
in Montreal, and I think this
was two thousand and six. In two

347
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.759
thousand and seven, I forget what
it was, and Michaels came out.

348
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.400
He was fighting Hulk Hogan at the
time. I remember they were in a

349
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.960
program, so maybe it's all five
so they I mean, you remember he

350
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:42.880
came out in Montreal. Montreal was
crapping all over him, and Michael's even

351
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:48.839
though he's a baby face at the
time, into it. Who's your Daddy

352
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:55.960
Montreal? And then he just he
sang oh Canada and just was an obnoxious

353
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.680
heel, and then he talked about
Bret Hart and how he's you know,

354
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.480
he's screwed him and how he'd do
it again. It's and then my god,

355
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:06.839
when you hear the guitar strings,
listen to that crowd, it's one

356
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:12.279
of the biggest pops you'll ever hear
in your life. And then Michael's obviously

357
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:15.759
was just was it was a complete
hoax, you know, built by Michael's.

358
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:21.559
It was you talk about I mean, so something like that. You

359
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:25.319
know, I'm fine with that if
you want to piss off the fans if

360
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:30.000
it ultimately leads to somehow Punk coming
back, you know, but also building

361
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.160
a heel. So yeah, now
I'm getting myself all hyped up for this,

362
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.400
of which I think that nothing will
happen. I think there's about a

363
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:41.839
ninety five percent chance of neither one
happening. But they're in Chicago. Like

364
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.759
you said, it's kind of damn
coincidental. You have Punk kind of back.

365
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:49.440
He's in a contract with Fox,
and yet this program that he's on

366
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:53.759
WW backstage is on Fox. So
I don't know. I would say no,

367
00:25:55.079 --> 00:26:00.400
but I would not rule this out
at all. Yeah, I'm right

368
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:02.799
there with you, And honestly,
like as much as I want him to

369
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:07.000
come back, I don't want it
to be right now just because we are

370
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.680
he's on our minds. I want
him to do his backstage appearances for the

371
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.279
show obviously, however frequently he's going
to and then if he's gonna make his

372
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:19.720
return, like in Ring, it
be maybe a month or two months down

373
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:23.640
the road, where we could it's
not as fresh and he's not as freshly

374
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.960
on our mind as he is right
now so if he hadn't shown up this

375
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:33.599
week, my answer would probably be
very different. But yeah, right now,

376
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:37.480
just kind of hold off on it. Totally agree. I mean I

377
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:40.599
would want this, and I really
believe that Punk is not ready to return

378
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:42.240
into the ring. I know that
it's going to happen. I don't.

379
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:45.119
I don't think it's a matter of
if. I do believe it's a when,

380
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:49.519
given that he's now dipped his toe
back into wrestling and dipped his toe

381
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:55.559
back into specifically WWE programming, even
though he's not a w B contracted employees

382
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:57.640
with Fox. So I think it's
when. But as you said, I

383
00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:00.519
don't want it now, and I
don't believe the Rumble is a good place

384
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:03.640
either, because you can't have him
come in the rumble just to what lose,

385
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.799
and you can't have him win because
to have him in the main event

386
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.519
to win a championship, that's I
mean, he's forty one years old,

387
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.200
as he said. As much as
as cool as that would be, it's

388
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:18.960
about that he doesn't. No,
what's it gonna do work a full time

389
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:22.119
schedule, go house show, No, he's not doing that. So the

390
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:25.720
rumble to me is out. I
just it making makes no sense for him

391
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:29.200
to be in the rumble match itself. So but as you said, yeah,

392
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:33.519
I think But okay, So bottom
line is I think we will see

393
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:38.200
cmpunk between now and WrestleMania thirty six. I think at some point, even

394
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:42.680
if it's at WrestleMania thirty six,
we will see cmpunk. Would you agree

395
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:47.160
or would you say maybe overly optimistice? No? Yeah, I agree with

396
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:51.880
all right, Well now that I'm
getting like all myself all hyped up about

397
00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:53.880
this happening, and it probably will
not, Smar, I mean, now

398
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:57.920
I'm all excited. All right,
Well, let's get into the actual show.

399
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:03.880
Let's get into the predictions for the
pay per view, and right at

400
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:10.440
the top here as I go down
the list, brock Lessner versus Raymisterio for

401
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:15.839
the w w E Championship, Ashley, is there any chance Raymisterio wins?

402
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:22.920
I think there's like a maybe one
percent chance he wins, because you can

403
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.599
never say never. But no,
I think this is just gonna be just

404
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:33.640
a demolishing of Raymisterio. He is
such a great seller. Just he no

405
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:36.920
one. It's it's kind of like
a David and Goliath type of situation,

406
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:40.559
just because the sheer size difference.
Brock is a beast. We all know

407
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:42.359
that, So I think this is
just gonna be I think Ray will get

408
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:48.039
like a few chops in a few
shots because in the stipulation or the I

409
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.680
think it's a no holds barred match
correct and pretty much an undersqualification. Yeah,

410
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:55.200
so I see him getting some shots, and I don't think it's going

411
00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:57.039
to be a quick, like within
like a minute or two minute type of

412
00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:00.400
thing or squash. I think it's
gonna be maybe five six minutes. But

413
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:07.640
I think Brock is gonna just destroy
Ray. Yep, that's exactly what's going

414
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.359
to happen. And there may be
a couple of hope spots. Given the

415
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.400
fact that this is a no holds
barred match tells me that this isn't going

416
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:19.000
to be a Kofi Kingston special where
it's you know, nine seconds. I

417
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:26.000
think this should be probably seven minutes
or less, where maybe even that's too

418
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.039
much. But this is going to
be a match where Raymisterio might get one

419
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:32.799
or two hope spots with a couple
of weapons, given that's a no holds

420
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:34.759
barred match, and oh Brock's down, can you know, can he get

421
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:37.960
his shoulders to the mat for three, and I mean there there'll be a

422
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:44.200
couple of times where that happens,
specifically mcdominic probably interfering on Raymisterio's behalf.

423
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:47.119
Given it's no holds barred, he
can come in and you know, come

424
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:52.440
to his father's aid, of which
I fully expect brock Lesner to probably f

425
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:56.960
five both men. And I mean
I think that'll be the end of that

426
00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:00.960
and Raymisterio moves on to something else. It's it's interesting they'll given this whole

427
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.440
storyline. You would think that after
this would come Kane Valasquez, but instead

428
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:08.480
it's reversed where it's, oh,
you know, Kane and then Ray but

429
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:12.279
whatever. I mean, they had
to have all this Saudi money invested into

430
00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:17.119
Kane Valaskaz and that whole I mean, that's a whole nother discussion. But

431
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:21.039
it's just weird that it feels like
it's backwards. But I'm fine with it.

432
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:23.039
I'm actually more emotionally invested in this
than I am with the Kane Valaska's

433
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:26.480
brock Lesser Magic Crown Jewel, just
because I've done a really good job with

434
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:30.240
this build. I mean, specifically
Paul Hayman, who has sold this as

435
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:33.839
he sells, you know, ice
to an Eskimo. This guy is so

436
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:40.680
damn good and so I'm interested in
this match from the perspective of not really

437
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:44.799
who wins, but how you know
how Ray is portrayed, because Ray is

438
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:48.279
a legend. Ray is a guy
that is a He's not he's not Kofy

439
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.440
Kingston the fans, you know,
while the fans were grass rooting supporting him.

440
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:56.920
Raymsterio is a luchador that is an
absolute legend, Mexico legend in the

441
00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:03.880
United States has one the championship on
several occasions in the past. I believe

442
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:07.480
it was in two thousand and five, two thousand and six against or against

443
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.839
Triple H and Randy Orton. So
he has done it. He has proven

444
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:14.640
himself. So I think that he
deserves a little more respect than getting a

445
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:18.920
complete squash. So I would give
it over under six minutes, and it's

446
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:22.279
going to be a Brockliszer beat down
with Dominic coming to his aid ultimately to

447
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.480
fail. Yeah, I agree with
you one hundred percent with everything you just

448
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:33.200
said. The only thing I would
just question and just throw out there just

449
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:38.119
as curiosity and get your take really
quick. Do you see a swerve coming

450
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:44.799
with Dominic turning on Ray? Or
do you see just Brock destroying Dominic and

451
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.319
Ray? Or maybe Dominic's not even
going to be ringside and just pretty much

452
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:51.920
like you laid out Brock, just
Brock destroying Ray. Do you think,

453
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:57.079
but do you think Dominic turns on
Ray? I would say no, I

454
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:00.160
didn't even think about that. I
mean, I'm trying to think of a

455
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:04.200
reason why he would and maybe the
only there's only a couple of things I

456
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:06.720
can think of. Well, Dad, you weren't able to come to my

457
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:08.519
aid and you allowed brock Lesser to
just beat me down. What kind of

458
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:12.839
father are you? Or he could
say, I remember what you did to

459
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:16.680
me with Eddie Guerrero of putting custody
of me up for grabs back in two

460
00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:22.519
thousand and four or whatever. Ray
technically in Dan Ray isn't really Dominic's father.

461
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:27.359
Yeah, I mean, I mean
this is pure craziness. I'm sure,

462
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.480
but I mean just I don't know, just looking at the lineup and

463
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:32.039
seeing this, you know, the
stipulation no holds bar. I like,

464
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:36.000
I don't know, like if if
it were to happen like this would be

465
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:39.960
it. I don't know, just
I know, just a crazy thought.

466
00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:44.160
Yeah, I didn't even think about
it. I mean, that would be

467
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:49.160
I would be intrigued as hell.
I'm gonna say no to that, but

468
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:52.000
I wouldn't. I mean again,
Vince McMahon isn crazier things. I don't

469
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:55.839
know, And maybe if it was
just that to Paul Hamon, if Vince

470
00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:59.240
wasn't there, Yeah, that's true, that's true. I mean, I

471
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:01.960
just I don't know if Dominic is
ready to have an actual WW career,

472
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:06.680
because if they turned him, that
would mean that there's more to this story.

473
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:09.559
And I don't know if he's at
that level of being able to perform

474
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:13.759
in a WW ring on live television
to follow up with the story. I

475
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:16.920
mean, so, I don't know. I'm gonna say no because there's a

476
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:20.920
lot that is attached to that and
the follow up that would have to be

477
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.960
done, and I don't think they're
ready to do. But so ultimately I

478
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:30.400
would say no. But intriguing.
Intriguing. Yeah, so no, No,

479
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:32.079
that's that's so funny you bring that
up. I didn't even think about

480
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:38.559
that. So all right, Becky
Lynch versus Bailey versus Shana Basler tough one.

481
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:42.640
This is honestly tough, but go
ahead. I'm gonna let you pick

482
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:44.960
on this one because I have been
up in the air on this all day.

483
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:49.519
Yeah, you know, I'm I'm
torn, and I'm dwing between two

484
00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:53.599
choices, and neither of them is
Becky winning. I don't think Becky.

485
00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:57.480
I think out of all three of
them, Becky is the last one who

486
00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:04.680
needs a victory here, And so
I'm torn between either Shana winning and maybe

487
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:08.480
pinning Bailey. So we you know, of course Shanna can brag that she

488
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:12.679
won the match, but Becky,
of course we say she didn't actually pin

489
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:15.480
her, and you know, so
they can say that going, you know,

490
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:21.679
in the future. But part of
me wants to say Bailey pulls the

491
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:24.280
victory out in this because Shana and
Becky are so focused on each other.

492
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:29.480
Maybe Bailey gets taken out early in
the match, kind of hides on ringside

493
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:32.280
or maybe throwing an out table or
something like that, and then comes back

494
00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:36.760
later on, like just at the
last second, and steals the victory.

495
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:40.239
So as much as I want to
say Shana, because I think it would

496
00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:45.199
be such a badass choice for them
to actually have an exceed sweep the night

497
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:49.239
or even just I think Shana probably
out of all three of them, needs

498
00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:52.679
the victory the most, so I
would want to say Shanda, but for

499
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:55.119
some weird reason, I feel Bailey
is going to get the victory here.

500
00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:04.239
Man. I you know, when
you brought up that explanation, I think

501
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:07.280
the easy thing, the easy thing
to say Shana beats Bailey, because,

502
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:10.880
as you said, it covers a
lot of bases here. It established Shane

503
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:16.920
Basiler as a legit, you know, legit women's competitor who belongs that she

504
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:22.360
is on equal footing or even higher
than Bailey is. And it protects Becky

505
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:27.840
Lynch who has been protected since she
won the championship at WrestleMania thirty five,

506
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.480
So it keeps her out of the
decision and Scott free. And Bailey,

507
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:36.599
who attacks Shana, you know,
seemed to be a bit concerned at the

508
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:39.599
look of Shana Basler's face after she
attacked her and threw into the stairs,

509
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:43.519
and there's some fear there and got
the one up on her, which we

510
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:45.639
all know is the golden rule for
you get the one up before the pay

511
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:50.440
per view typically typically you would lose
out the pay per view. So there's

512
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:53.320
a lot pointing too, that solution. There's a lot pointing to Shana beating

513
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:59.719
Bailey and Becky staying out of the
decision, and you know, nobody's really

514
00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:06.000
damn image by this, and it
elevates Shana Basler. So that's the easy

515
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:08.559
solution. So I do I go
with what the easy money is or do

516
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:13.039
I take a shot at you know, could Becky. You could even make

517
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:16.280
a case for Becky winning this.
What I would say is, I think

518
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:20.760
we're probably in agreement that Bailey is
going to be the one to take the

519
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:24.880
fall because in the pecking order of
these three champions, you could argue pretty

520
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:30.960
easily that Bailey is at the third
spot. And that's not no dis to

521
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:32.840
her, you know, no disrespect, but that's just kind of the pecking

522
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:37.800
order at least in the presentation of
this match, that Bailey is the third

523
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:43.159
wheel here. So you can make
a case that Becky beats Bailey, which

524
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:45.519
protects Shana. You don't want her
losing, and Becky can claim that she's

525
00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:51.039
the supreme woman. Whatever. This
is tough. So it's either to me,

526
00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:53.639
oh man, I'm gonna go with
the damn easy money like a coward,

527
00:36:53.960 --> 00:37:00.280
and I'm gonna say that Shana Basler
beats Bailey and Becky Lynch try to

528
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:04.079
interfere and just in the last second
she can't do it, and Shana Basler

529
00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:08.320
beats Bailey, and yeah, not
interesting. But I'm gonna take the easy

530
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:12.000
one there. Yeah, no,
I mean one of us had to make

531
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:15.400
that choice, and I was twifty
fifty with it, so I'm glad you

532
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:20.719
did. Yeah, it's not interesting, it's not creative, it's not out

533
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:23.480
there. Honestly, it's not a
bad choice, but like you said,

534
00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:28.000
it's not the most exciting. It's
not I'm trying to be creative because you

535
00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:30.920
could. You could make a case
for all three and honestly, like having

536
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:37.000
Bailey win may not be the worst
thing in the world because having Bailey,

537
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:40.400
say, Penn Becky, Becky's teflon
right now. I think Becky, there's

538
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:44.599
no titles on the line, so
it doesn't matter if Becky loses. So

539
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:47.400
if you have Bailey win, I
think Bailey needs it more than any of

540
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:52.800
them because she has turned heel and
then not had a great follow up to

541
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:54.360
it. She did what we wanted
her to do, and then they're like,

542
00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:59.719
all right, so like keep going
here. I mean they just really

543
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:02.519
all to the momentum and haven't done
a lot with her, So having Bailey

544
00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:07.400
win this, considering this whole pay
per view is just about bragging rights,

545
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:10.079
they might as well pre name it
that. It's that would to me be

546
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:14.719
a better fit for Bailey to brag
on than Becky Lynch because it can only

547
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:16.360
go so far with a baby face. With a victory like this, it's

548
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:20.440
just nothing more than bragging rights.
So to me, Bailey needs it the

549
00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:23.360
most. But I think Shane is
gonna end up being the victor here,

550
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:28.519
so tough one. Honestly, I
would not put a money money on this

551
00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:30.719
match if I was anybody out there
listening, do not bet on this match.

552
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:35.480
It is way too unpredictable. So
yes, yes, none at all.

553
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:37.760
Yeah no, again, I agree
with you. That's why maybe it's

554
00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:42.199
just me like hoping they go with
Bailey because, like you just explained,

555
00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:45.480
she needs it more than any of
them, and pretty much her storyline and

556
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:49.760
her bill going into this was that
people were not focusing on her. So

557
00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:54.440
what better way than to really steal
and solidify her heeled turn and run going

558
00:38:54.480 --> 00:39:00.760
forward would be to have her pretty
much back up everything that she's been saying

559
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:05.920
for the past few weeks. So
again, it may just be me wishful

560
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:07.679
thinking. And like you said,
they could just go with Shane of winning,

561
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:12.199
which is fine, like like we
said, but yeah, I don't.

562
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:15.239
I'm sticking with Bailey. But I
could very very well see it being

563
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:20.199
Shana. Yeah, this is I
mean, I keep looking at this,

564
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:23.159
looking at this match, and I'm
convincing myself looking at each name of how

565
00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:28.599
they could win, and all of
them are plausible. But all right,

566
00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:34.199
well and really quick, just this
kind of ties into like our picks going

567
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:37.400
for it. But so did they
have they mentioned how you actually win the

568
00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:43.000
whole night, like how what brand
wins? Is it the which brand wins

569
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:45.760
the majority of the matches, or
is it wins the main event? Like

570
00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:49.559
this is yep, nope, and
that this is why you're gonna get me

571
00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:52.920
out of rant. I'm gonna I'm
gonna pretend you didn't say that. I'll

572
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:57.800
just say that. No, they
have not explained that, so okay,

573
00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:00.719
okay, nope, nope, nope, we'll get there. The Viking Raiders,

574
00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:06.119
Eric and I have are raw tag
team champions versus the New Day versus

575
00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:12.239
the Undisputed Era. H my pick
on this again not easy. It's it's

576
00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:15.559
hard when titles aren't on the line
because that's usually an indicator of who could

577
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:20.679
win the match. And when you
have to say, you really, if

578
00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:23.719
you think about, you know,
like the title matches are the easier ones

579
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:28.840
to predict than the non title matches. It really is, isn't it.

580
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:34.960
Yeah, Okay, I'm gonna say
I don't think the Viking Raiders here win.

581
00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:38.000
I don't. I just don't,
which is unfortunate because they had a

582
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:43.039
lot of momentum after they won the
Raw Tag Team Championship. The crowd was

583
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:45.320
with them during that match. They
put on a damn good match and had

584
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:50.079
a decent follow up promo, and
then they just disappeared New Day. I

585
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:54.159
honestly I don't with them as Tag
Team champions, it doesn't do anything for

586
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:57.880
me because to me, at this
point, they are beyond the Tag Team

587
00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:02.599
champions Championship and the undisputed Earra,
the up and comers, they're the new

588
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:08.480
shiny Toy, They're the NXC Tag
Team Champions. I guess I'll predict an

589
00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:15.119
undisputed Earra win. Again, not
interesting, but to me, it's not.

590
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:17.559
It's not interesting, but what's even
more less interesting to me is New

591
00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:21.920
Day winning. Who cares? I
mean if the New Day win, Okay,

592
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:23.280
we already know they're a great tag
team. They've been together for like

593
00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:27.679
what five years now, they're great, wonderful. I mean, so they

594
00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:30.800
win the Viking Raiders they're less interesting, which is again unfortunate, but the

595
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:35.880
way they're positioned on the show and
presented, I don't see them beating and

596
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:37.679
winning this match. But this could
be an upset match and that'd be fine

597
00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:42.559
with me. But I think right
now the Undisputed Era is gonna be the

598
00:41:42.599 --> 00:41:46.119
one to win. You, Yeah, I agree. I think Undisputed Aarra

599
00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:51.639
needs the victory more than any other
team, which is crazy to say because

600
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:54.719
the Viking Raiders need a victory as
well. They're still in the process of

601
00:41:54.760 --> 00:42:01.039
being established themselves. So but yeah, I think Undisputed takes Undisputed Error takes

602
00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:06.519
it here. And I'm kind of
bombed that. You know, the New

603
00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:08.920
Day ended up beating Revival for the
Attack Team titles and ended up in this

604
00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:12.840
match, and no and no like
a fence or no knock against them,

605
00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:15.159
because they're great and it's it's gonna
be a great match. I was just

606
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:19.079
I guess looking forward to the revival
being in there because they would just be

607
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:23.920
have a completely different feel to it. But yeah, so I think undisputed

608
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:29.920
error takes it here. But again
that kind of plays into my whole questioning

609
00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:32.719
of and I'm not trying to get
you on a ramp, but the whole

610
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:39.280
how like how does one brand win? Because that would determine my predictions here

611
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:45.639
because if let's say, the whole
the thing was whoever, whichever brand won

612
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:47.679
the majority of the matches that they
were involved in. So like let's say

613
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:52.800
out of whatever five matches that you
could each brand was involved in and next

614
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:55.159
t one all five or like to
win the night, that that's what they

615
00:42:55.159 --> 00:42:58.159
would have to do or win the
majority. Like that would you know,

616
00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:02.000
determine my predictions. But I guess, yeah, I'll just go with underspead

617
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:10.079
the air here. Again, I
mean, this was never explained and it

618
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:14.960
was it should have been, and
it was never explained because it's just w

619
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:19.280
B left and vague. Yeah,
I mean again, if you're gonna even

620
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:22.119
sell me, which I am nowhere
near being sold on brand supremacy being a

621
00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:25.960
thing, nor do I care about
this? Actually, you know being something

622
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:31.480
that's on the line as a tangible
victory, a tangible prize. It's not.

623
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:37.199
And to believe that everyone who just
suddenly gets drafted of their not of

624
00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:40.079
their own choice, to a brand
and suddenly decides that, oh, you're

625
00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:44.840
wearing the same color as me,
we're cool, we're friends, and has

626
00:43:44.880 --> 00:43:46.760
this loyalty beyond like, well,
well you made fun of my family and

627
00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:50.280
threatened my family, or you ran
me down with the car, but look,

628
00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:53.320
we're on the same brand that matters
more than any championship or personal agenda

629
00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:58.360
is absolute garbage. I mean,
So for them to tell us that brand

630
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:01.400
supremacy is on the line and then
not even tell us again, if this

631
00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:05.840
was something I cared about, which
I don't, not even tell us how

632
00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:10.159
that that brand supremacy would be,
would be would be taken, and would

633
00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:15.559
be actually awarded to that brand whoever
won, and not tell us how that

634
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:22.800
happens is also doubly bad. I
mean, it's just poor storytelling upon poor

635
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:25.920
storytelling. And and this is what
I'm talking about, I would assume,

636
00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:30.239
I would assume that what's gonna happen
here is I don't any see any brand

637
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:34.519
getting a clean sweep if that ever
happens, it could be NXT. And

638
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:37.039
if it is, then great they
can claim brand supremacy because they had a

639
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:40.280
sweep. But I would assume that
if it's probably going to be here and

640
00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:45.079
there, if Smackling gets one,
Rog gets one and uh and NXT gets

641
00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:46.639
the rest, what I would think
is, oh, well, you know

642
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:51.119
the tag team division you had,
uh, you know, the the Undisputed

643
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:54.639
era, claim brand supremacy there,
and they'll they'll break it off by like

644
00:44:54.960 --> 00:45:00.000
departments or sections of the brand or
of the product, and that's probably what

645
00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:07.039
they're gonna do. That makes sense. God anyway, I just I honestly

646
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:09.840
can't wait till after Sunday. I
am looking so forward to this being over,

647
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:13.400
just from that perspective. The rest
of the card, I mean,

648
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:16.800
like I said, Brock Good the
Fiend and Daniel Bryan will get to I'm

649
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:20.719
looking forward to that too. Aja
styles that triple threat like, oh,

650
00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:22.880
I'm fine too, but man,
this is this is a triple threat.

651
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:29.119
I never want to see a multi
person man match again ever from WWE after

652
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:31.679
this. I mean, just think
about the sheer number of people in the

653
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:37.880
these matches you have. You have
two matches in which you have fifteen people

654
00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:42.280
men and women in each match.
You have thirty people in two matches.

655
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:46.280
I mean, it's just all right, let's move to Team Raw. We

656
00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:52.360
have Charlotte Flair, Natalia Oscar,
Kyrie Saint, and Sarah Logan versus Sasha

657
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:54.639
Banks, Team SmackDown, Carmela Dana
Brook, Lacy Evans, and Nicky Cross

658
00:45:54.800 --> 00:46:01.480
versus Team nxt Ria Ripley and her. It says four members to be announced,

659
00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:05.679
but I believe they were defined at
this point. So Riah Ripley is

660
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:08.440
the team captain. And I'm so
glad that w W decided not to make

661
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:13.159
that a thing this year either that
people fight over being team captain as if

662
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:16.159
it gives them some kind of superpower. So uh yeah, I'm glad that

663
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:20.119
that wasn't a thing this year.
That people just self appointed And that's fine.

664
00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:23.679
I don't care. So what do
you think about this? Who wins

665
00:46:23.719 --> 00:46:25.840
this? I mean, this is
also kind of up in the air.

666
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:28.679
I mean I feel like a lot
of these are up in the air with

667
00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:31.679
no championships on the line and just
bragging, right, So any thoughts,

668
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:38.280
Honestly, I don't, I don't
know, like because I don't I would

669
00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:43.679
my prediction would be NXT. I
think it's gonna be a very good match,

670
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:45.800
but I think the NXT women are
gonna pull it on. I think

671
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:50.559
this weekend is gonna be Ria Ripley's
weekend. I just I think, but

672
00:46:51.239 --> 00:46:54.480
just how they've been showcasing her within
the build these past few weeks up until

673
00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:59.880
this point, I think she's really
gonna shine here. So I think they're

674
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:04.239
gonna go with NXT kicking the victory
here, and I think my prediction is

675
00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:07.199
gonna be there. Reo Ripple is
the last woman's standing for her team,

676
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:10.079
all right, Yeah, yeah,
no, I could I could see that,

677
00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:15.800
And again, maybe that is the
right choice here. Maybe that is

678
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:20.159
the right choice because honestly, Team
Raw with Charlotte and tali Oskar Kyrie saying

679
00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:22.679
Sarah Logan, and the same with
Team smack then with all those women I

680
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:28.239
just mentioned, team who needs this
victory here? Yeah, I just don't

681
00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:34.000
think nobody, honestly, nobody needs
this victory from teams or from SmackDown and

682
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:36.880
Raw. If this is gonna be
a pay per view about a clean suite

683
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:39.280
from NXT, fine, I mean
the fine that would put them on the

684
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:44.079
map. And I would I would
actually advocate for that rather than just you

685
00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:45.199
know, well, you get one, I get one, they get one,

686
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:47.519
you get one, I get one, and it's all evenly split.

687
00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:52.480
Yeah. So, if they're gonna
do this and do it right, as

688
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:57.400
bad as the storytelling is, at
least tell us a good, bad story

689
00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:01.840
of Team NXT doing a clean suite
and they can claim true brand supremacy.

690
00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:06.840
Fine, I mean I could see
that actually happening. I mean, so

691
00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:09.599
far we have both picked well,
I have picked anyway. You picked Bailey,

692
00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:15.039
but I picked Shana Basler, and
then we picked both the Undisputed Era,

693
00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:19.360
and now you're picking Ria Ripley Team
NXT. I'm gonna pick the same

694
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:23.000
thing because to me, it just
makes the most sense. And I just

695
00:48:23.079 --> 00:48:28.679
see no other way around My mic
just went out. I see no other

696
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:30.400
way around this. I just don't
see how it makes sense for Team smack

697
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:32.840
Down, a team brought to win. So even though Ria Ripley and the

698
00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:37.679
members that are she's with they have
been feuding on NXT and we're all just

699
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:42.039
supposed to put our differences aside.
Fine, whatever, I'll buy it.

700
00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:44.840
In nx T two, I'll just
buy the crapt selling me on that,

701
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:49.239
and I just think it's NXT being
put on the map. W W knows

702
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:52.639
that they have a gem in NXT, and like you said, they beat

703
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:55.960
a W this week for the first
time in congrats. But as Chris Jericho

704
00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:01.000
also tweeted out hilariously said, this
is a marathon, not a sprint,

705
00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:07.440
mocking what w W press release said
the first week that this came out.

706
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:13.480
So God, I love Jericho,
so yes again, short answer is NXT

707
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:19.719
wins this uh this five on five
on five Women's elimination match. Yep?

708
00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:22.480
I agree? Now can we can
we please move on to the fiend and

709
00:49:22.639 --> 00:49:27.480
very much or I'm sorry and Danna
Brian, yes, but before don't worry,

710
00:49:27.480 --> 00:49:30.079
we haven't more triple threats to come. But yes, let me just

711
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:36.760
well you brought it up. What
are your thoughts. I'm so concerned about

712
00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:37.760
this one, and that's why I
want to talk about it now, just

713
00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:42.239
because it's been I've been thinking about
it kind of when I was looking at

714
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:45.719
the lineup earlier, and I'm just
dying to know, like your true prediction

715
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:50.840
here, because I'm I'm torn.
Part of me. I don't I think

716
00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:53.280
they're just going to have the Fiend
like demolish. If we're going to get

717
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:55.679
a squash match, I think it's
going to be this one. As much

718
00:49:55.719 --> 00:50:00.719
as it hurts my heart to say
it because I love Daniel Bryan, but

719
00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:07.719
I think the Fiend is just going
to just demolish Daniel Bryan here, just

720
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:10.599
very quickly. Because that was I
think the last time I spoke. What

721
00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:15.760
my concern was going forward after his
match with Seth Rollins is how do you

722
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:22.239
how does any regular human being in
a regular match beat the Fiend? You

723
00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:25.000
know, if he can kick out
of however many curves, thoms and just

724
00:50:25.079 --> 00:50:30.199
everything that Seth put him through,
how how can you just like regularly beat

725
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:35.239
the Fiend? So I just I
see him just crushing Daniel Bryan here and

726
00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:38.239
then Daniel Brian just kind of disappearing
for a while, which again hurts me

727
00:50:38.280 --> 00:50:42.920
to say, but I'm just curious
to see what your your prediction is,

728
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:46.679
so obviously mine is the theme,
but I'm curious to hear your thoughts after

729
00:50:46.679 --> 00:50:55.000
seeing SmackDown and everything that happened this
week. So man, I think that

730
00:50:55.159 --> 00:51:00.639
what's going to happen here the Fiend
is Before I give my prediction on I

731
00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:04.880
want to set the table. The
Fiend is one of the best characters ww

732
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:08.199
has pumped out in the last ten
years, and they had a huge,

733
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:14.679
huge setback with Helen a Cell.
I'm talking I've never I can't recall a

734
00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:21.000
pay per view in which it damaged
so much in wwwe's product and characters with

735
00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:24.760
Seth and Bray. Then did Helen
a Cell's finish. I'm still talking about

736
00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:28.400
it two months later or whatever it
was, however it long it's been.

737
00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:32.360
It was that bad and it really
over exposed the Fiend, who should not

738
00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:37.280
be in a twenty minute match,
and it the whole kicking out was be

739
00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:40.840
it hurt the product itself of professional
wrestling, of unbelievability, I mean to

740
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:43.960
the point of like, Okay,
we've seen an undertaker to do this at

741
00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:47.039
times, but not twelve times,
right or whatever it was, so the

742
00:51:47.079 --> 00:51:52.199
believability factor completely took me out of
that as well, like Okay, this

743
00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:55.559
is just this is not even believable. And then the finish, which of

744
00:51:55.599 --> 00:52:00.639
course we all know of a no
contest. In the recalling it, the

745
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:05.800
whole thing was just a complete mess
and it still lingers to now. The

746
00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:09.000
stench of it has not gone away. The rebuilding. They did the right

747
00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:13.519
thing, a crown jewel, putting
the belt on the on Wyatt, but

748
00:52:13.719 --> 00:52:15.840
was it a little bit too little, too late? And I don't know.

749
00:52:16.239 --> 00:52:20.639
I think it was the right decision. And they're not over exposing the

750
00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:25.800
fiend and his entrance is still badass, and he still is super intriguing on

751
00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:29.840
on screen. When he's on the
screen, you want to watch the firefly

752
00:52:29.960 --> 00:52:35.199
funhouse makes is still entertaining to me? Is he as how as he was?

753
00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:39.320
No? But he's getting warmer to
where he should be. So with

754
00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:44.280
all that said, and now you
have Daniel Bryan, who was it was

755
00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:47.679
a big baby face turned heel killed
the S movement, was a you know,

756
00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:53.239
glorified, you know what, egotistical
vegan and then told people to recycle

757
00:52:53.320 --> 00:52:58.920
and we're destroying the world. And
then he's an intellectual superior with Eric Rowan

758
00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:01.119
and who is now was just rowing
and then he has a I don't know,

759
00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:04.599
he's carrying around something in the cage
too that we don't even know.

760
00:53:05.079 --> 00:53:07.599
And then now he's just kind of
like in between. We don't know where

761
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:13.000
he's at. He doesn't say a
whole lot. So all that with Daniel

762
00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:15.239
Bryan kind of lukewarm. The fans
don't worry. He's at He hasn't brought

763
00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:20.320
the Yes movement back. The Fiend
is still baby facing the eyes of fans,

764
00:53:20.320 --> 00:53:24.599
and he just is. I would
still say that the Fiend wins.

765
00:53:24.920 --> 00:53:30.239
And I'll say that the Fiend wins
because the Fiend just won the championship and

766
00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:32.360
it would be I think unfair to
not let this breathe a little bit.

767
00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:37.280
Now. How he wins is going
to be the key. Does Daniel Bryan

768
00:53:37.400 --> 00:53:40.559
end up being squashed? I don't
know. If it's a squash match.

769
00:53:40.800 --> 00:53:45.639
I would hope not. I don't
need the Fiend running through people like that.

770
00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:49.960
To do that would damage Daniel Bryan
and all the all the progress that

771
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:54.639
he's made. I would say that
it's a relatively short match. I would

772
00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:59.639
say that Daniel Bryan gets in some
healthy offense. I need to see the

773
00:53:59.639 --> 00:54:02.800
Fiend more human. I don't need
to see him this unbelievable, you know,

774
00:54:05.159 --> 00:54:07.760
just I can take anything and still
stand here that that's a little that's

775
00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:12.639
too much for me to bear,
and it'll hurt his gray wide character even

776
00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:16.159
further. So I need some vulnerability
from Wyatt, and I think Daniel Bryan

777
00:54:16.239 --> 00:54:20.639
will be able to give you some
moments where you go, yeah, this,

778
00:54:20.639 --> 00:54:23.440
this could happen. But ultimately I
think the Fiend wins. I think

779
00:54:23.440 --> 00:54:30.400
it's decisively, not a squash,
but decisively, and Daniel Bryan goes away

780
00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:34.639
for a while but not too long, and when he comes back, I

781
00:54:34.639 --> 00:54:39.159
think he'll revive the Yes movement.
So that's my thought. Yeah, I

782
00:54:40.239 --> 00:54:44.400
agree with it. I hope you're
right. And as you were kind of

783
00:54:44.920 --> 00:54:49.320
talking right there, it kind of
anything about what you're probably one of your

784
00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:52.719
first questions was for me earlier about
the seeds being planted here, and you

785
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:57.599
know, I think, and of
course we both predicted the Fiend winning.

786
00:54:57.599 --> 00:55:04.360
I think if anything is go going
to happen between the Fiend and Undertaker for

787
00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:12.559
WrestleMania this year, I could see
that starting here tomorrow. Again, it's

788
00:55:12.599 --> 00:55:15.440
just pure speculation on my part,
and it very well could just be like

789
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:20.800
a wishful thinking, but I could
see like maybe Undertaker's music hitting and maybe

790
00:55:20.840 --> 00:55:23.519
not seeing the Undertaker himself, but
just like his music like the Dong or

791
00:55:23.559 --> 00:55:30.400
something like that. But yeah,
I again, i'd see the Fiend taking

792
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:35.360
the win here. And if anything
is to happen for him for WrestleMania for

793
00:55:35.400 --> 00:55:39.599
this year. I could kind of
see it maybe starting tomorrow. Yeah,

794
00:55:39.639 --> 00:55:44.000
I mean, could the Gong happen? It could? I mean, if

795
00:55:44.000 --> 00:55:46.039
you're like me and you read the
wrestling rumors on the big websites, you

796
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:50.760
know that the rumor right now is
Roman Reigns being built up to face Bray

797
00:55:50.800 --> 00:55:55.800
Wyatt at WrestleMania. So if that's
the case, I mean, I don't

798
00:55:55.800 --> 00:56:00.880
know how Roman Reigns interject himself into
this, but I'm mean it should be

799
00:56:00.960 --> 00:56:04.880
at TLC or Royal Rumble that these
two start to, you know, get

800
00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:08.480
closer to each other's paths. So
if that is indeed the case where they're

801
00:56:08.559 --> 00:56:13.960
going for Roman Reigns versus the Fiend, which I think is a I'm interested

802
00:56:14.000 --> 00:56:16.719
in the match. I'm interested as
hell in the match. But I could

803
00:56:16.760 --> 00:56:22.360
see all this good will and progress
towards Roman Reigns not being booed completely being

804
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:28.280
destroyed at WrestleMania, because the fans
will turn on Roman Reigns in a heartbeat

805
00:56:28.360 --> 00:56:30.519
for the Fiend, especially if the
championships on the line, because they'll remember,

806
00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:34.119
oh yeah, that's right, we
don't like Roman when it comes to

807
00:56:34.519 --> 00:56:37.360
you know, characters that we support
organically and where you know, I think

808
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:40.519
all of that bad, all those
bad vibes will come back to Roman.

809
00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:44.480
But again that's we're talking about a
match five months that hasn't even been announced.

810
00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:49.360
So could the gong happen? Yeah, I mean it could. There

811
00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:52.639
was hints at the one of the
fire five fundhouses. We all remember he

812
00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:57.559
changed the clock from three sixteen to
eleven nineteen, and we all know what

813
00:56:57.599 --> 00:57:02.079
that date is for. So couldn't
happen. Maybe it could happen. Something's

814
00:57:02.119 --> 00:57:06.800
going to happen in this match that
I think leads us to Bray Wyatt's potential

815
00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:10.320
next opponent. I think that that's
probably what's going to come out of this.

816
00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:14.760
I just don't know how or what. And it's as I'm looking at

817
00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:16.960
the stipulation here. This is not
a no holds barred this is a straight

818
00:57:17.039 --> 00:57:21.760
up match. Are rules in this
match? So which is what I want

819
00:57:21.760 --> 00:57:22.960
to see too. I don't need
to see the Fiend and you know,

820
00:57:23.280 --> 00:57:28.360
constant hardcore Helen a Cell, you
know no holds barred matches, so it'll

821
00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:30.320
be interesting to see him there the
confines of an actual match. How the

822
00:57:30.320 --> 00:57:36.679
Fiend fares, but Daniel Brown ultimately
loses this, and I think he goes

823
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:40.440
away for a little while. So
yeah, I agree. Oh man,

824
00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:45.920
So back to this lovely triple threat
pay per view. We have Team Raw.

825
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:50.599
On the men's side, we have
Team Raw, Rollins, McIntyre,

826
00:57:50.679 --> 00:57:55.039
Owens, Orton and Ricochet versus Teams
Backdown, Roman Reigns, mustaf Ali,

827
00:57:55.760 --> 00:58:01.519
Stroman Corbin, and Shorty G versus
Team NX Tea. I'm gonna take a

828
00:58:01.559 --> 00:58:07.119
breath and toss this to you.
I mean, honestly, maybe this one's

829
00:58:07.119 --> 00:58:12.599
a little bit not You can make
a case maybe for the NXT not winning

830
00:58:12.599 --> 00:58:15.960
this, but I don't know what
are your thoughts. Yeah, I kind

831
00:58:15.960 --> 00:58:21.719
of see Team SmackDown taking the victory
here. If I'm not going to go

832
00:58:21.760 --> 00:58:24.679
with the NXC sweep in the night, I can kind of see SmackDown taking

833
00:58:24.679 --> 00:58:31.079
it here. I just see people
like mussaf Ali and Shorty G just kind

834
00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:36.280
of needing this victory here more than
maybe any of the other brands. Again,

835
00:58:36.320 --> 00:58:38.800
but I don't I don't think we
know the exact lineup for the NX

836
00:58:38.840 --> 00:58:44.199
Team team though, correct. We
don't think we know any of the guys.

837
00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:47.920
I know, I was trying to
find that too. I don't see

838
00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:52.639
the guys. I meant to look
that up earlier because I think I think

839
00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:58.239
that's still to be determined. So
I think that kind of maybe with sway

840
00:58:58.360 --> 00:59:02.400
my my choice here, but I
think right now, go ahead. No,

841
00:59:02.480 --> 00:59:06.159
I was gonna say, I think
Adam Adam Cole I believe is uh

842
00:59:06.679 --> 00:59:09.119
probably the team captain on that wasn't
he? No, I think he's gonna

843
00:59:09.159 --> 00:59:14.840
be facing Pete Dunn or whoever.
No, No, yeah, he's facing

844
00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:21.760
so so I don't So that's kind
of that's what makes me kind of leary

845
00:59:21.840 --> 00:59:24.320
to make a like a firm choice
here. But as of right now,

846
00:59:24.360 --> 00:59:29.639
I guess that would go SmackDown without
knowing who the actual team is for NXT.

847
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:32.760
Yeah yeah, I mean, which
is kind of surprising to me that

848
00:59:32.840 --> 00:59:38.800
they don't have anyone listed because it
can't be like five surprises obviously, So

849
00:59:39.039 --> 00:59:43.559
I don't. I don't know,
just kind of interested to see who ends

850
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:46.880
up being on the team. Unless
I'm completely missing something here. Well,

851
00:59:46.960 --> 00:59:51.360
I think it's going to ultimately come
down to Randy Orton, who is just

852
00:59:51.480 --> 00:59:54.840
a mainstay in elimination matches. I
love the way Randy Randy Orton is just

853
00:59:54.880 --> 01:00:00.360
a magician when it comes to these
five on five on five elimination matches,

854
01:00:00.400 --> 01:00:05.199
and he has a history of being
either the sole survivor or next to last

855
01:00:05.239 --> 01:00:09.440
survivor. So I think it's maybe
could come down to Orton versus Reins.

856
01:00:10.039 --> 01:00:15.440
And again I'm looking for the NX
team members and I just don't see them,

857
01:00:15.480 --> 01:00:19.599
but it could come down to probably
one of those three and and ultimately

858
01:00:19.719 --> 01:00:22.599
Randy Orton. Randy Orton I could
see turning on his own team. Randy

859
01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:27.280
Orton just has that in him.
He There's something going on with Randy Orton

860
01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:31.159
that is different from what his past
character has been. In the last few

861
01:00:31.320 --> 01:00:37.639
years, he has been featured a
little bit more in terms of this is

862
01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:38.719
a this is a legacy star,
this is a guy that, yeah,

863
01:00:38.760 --> 01:00:43.400
we all know who in what he
is. But there's something happening with Randy

864
01:00:43.519 --> 01:00:46.079
Orton. I think they've planned a
seed a few weeks ago about you know,

865
01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:51.519
telling Ricochet that don't let me get
you, don't let me get in

866
01:00:51.599 --> 01:00:54.400
your head. There's something there,
I think, and maybe I'm reading more

867
01:00:54.440 --> 01:00:58.960
into it, but I think Randy
Orton can play a larger role than we

868
01:00:59.079 --> 01:01:01.000
think in this match, because when
we look at it, we go,

869
01:01:01.039 --> 01:01:04.880
oh, Randy Orton, Yeah,
he'll give a couple of rkos and ultimately,

870
01:01:04.960 --> 01:01:08.199
you know, get eliminated. But
I don't know. Maybe he could

871
01:01:08.239 --> 01:01:12.800
cost his own team the match,
but we'll have to see. So that

872
01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:17.960
those are my thoughts. I think
my prediction. Man, I'm just gonna

873
01:01:19.000 --> 01:01:22.559
go. I'm gonna go balls to
the wall and just go all out here

874
01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:25.519
and say team nx T wins and
they just clean sweep the night. And

875
01:01:25.559 --> 01:01:30.159
I think Randy Orton is gonna cost
his own team or get the RKO and

876
01:01:30.440 --> 01:01:36.119
have tm NXT capitalize and get the
victory off the RKO. So I think

877
01:01:36.199 --> 01:01:39.360
that's how it ends. Interestingly,
though, I don't know. It's hard

878
01:01:39.360 --> 01:01:45.920
and these so many damn people with
rollins and reins there, they're they're clearly

879
01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:47.760
I mean, I don't know,
could they also take the fall? Probably

880
01:01:47.840 --> 01:01:52.440
not, but I don't know.
So that's my prediction. Randy Orton hits

881
01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:57.679
an RKO, tam NXT capitalizes and
wins. Yeah, okay, all right,

882
01:01:58.440 --> 01:02:01.280
but I hope so because I think
nx NXC needs you know, the

883
01:02:01.400 --> 01:02:06.719
winds here more than anyone else.
But for me, I wouldn't be surprised

884
01:02:06.760 --> 01:02:08.840
for them to kind of give Shworty
G and Ellie, and I could be

885
01:02:08.920 --> 01:02:13.039
overthinking because they probably don't. I'm
not gonna say they don't care about them,

886
01:02:13.039 --> 01:02:15.920
because obviously they do it, but
they they're focused right now. Isn't

887
01:02:15.960 --> 01:02:20.880
on them, But yeah, I
could very well see NXC take in here.

888
01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:25.039
Yeah, I mean, I'll be
again this there's too much triple threat

889
01:02:25.079 --> 01:02:29.440
for me. I can't handle this. And honestly, I'm also thinking about

890
01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:31.719
how is this actually gonna work from
a logistics standpoint as far as five on

891
01:02:31.800 --> 01:02:36.239
five on five, if you have
three guys in the ring, there's assumingly

892
01:02:36.239 --> 01:02:39.039
there'll be three guys in the ring
at all times. I would that they

893
01:02:39.079 --> 01:02:45.559
can only tag their team, their
own team. I would guess that that's

894
01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:49.519
the case, right. They can't
just tag anybody and have them enter the

895
01:02:49.559 --> 01:02:52.199
match. I mean, that wasn't
ever clarified either, because I've seen matches

896
01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:55.639
where that happens, and I don't
know. I would assume they can only

897
01:02:55.679 --> 01:03:00.360
tag in people that are on their
team, but that was never clarified.

898
01:03:00.679 --> 01:03:05.159
So yeah, I don't know.
I like it, like you, Like

899
01:03:05.159 --> 01:03:09.360
you said, I could see maybe
like you know, a bad guy like

900
01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:13.760
a heel tagging in, you would
know the guy was in the regulo like

901
01:03:13.800 --> 01:03:17.079
something like that. But because they
never they obviously didn't give us like a

902
01:03:17.119 --> 01:03:21.039
set of rules or anything here yet. And then maybe they will tomorrow when

903
01:03:21.039 --> 01:03:23.480
the paper we actually starts, or
like an appre shore or something be As

904
01:03:23.480 --> 01:03:25.719
of right now, I'm not sure. I wouldn't assume, like you said

905
01:03:25.719 --> 01:03:30.280
that you have to tag your own
partner or yeah, you would think,

906
01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:32.960
but you know, it's it's crazy
that I should have to think like this.

907
01:03:34.039 --> 01:03:37.199
But I've seen matches in which you
can tag anybody in and they have

908
01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:39.880
to be you know. So again, they bend the rules when they need

909
01:03:39.920 --> 01:03:43.440
them. But the other thing is, and I know we're not at the

910
01:03:43.519 --> 01:03:46.880
rumble yet, but when they have
guys who are eliminated and they leave the

911
01:03:46.920 --> 01:03:51.639
match, come in and eliminate people
that are still in the match. Yeah,

912
01:03:51.679 --> 01:03:54.159
like that kind of thing. How
does that happen? Right? Like,

913
01:03:54.639 --> 01:03:59.360
how does that happen? You can't
It's as if you know you're you're

914
01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:04.199
playing football, and you know,
I end up being injured and I'm officially

915
01:04:04.239 --> 01:04:09.360
out of the game, and then
I come in and I interfere in a

916
01:04:09.840 --> 01:04:13.719
in a pass to the team that
I'm opposing. Yeah, I'm out of

917
01:04:13.719 --> 01:04:15.719
the game. And they call it, oh, well you know he didn't

918
01:04:15.719 --> 01:04:17.199
catch the pass. It's like,
well, you're out of the game.

919
01:04:17.239 --> 01:04:21.159
It's like a fan interfering. They
are no longer relevant. So I'll save

920
01:04:21.199 --> 01:04:26.000
that ran for another month and a
half. But again, that happens every

921
01:04:26.039 --> 01:04:29.480
year. So all right, Well
down to this match here that you called

922
01:04:29.679 --> 01:04:33.480
possibly the match of the night.
AJ Styles versus Shinska Nakamara versus Roderick Strong.

923
01:04:34.400 --> 01:04:38.079
Yeah, this has potential match in
the Night written all over it.

924
01:04:38.280 --> 01:04:44.079
Who wins? Though? Man,
this one was actually pretty hard for me

925
01:04:44.239 --> 01:04:49.079
to make a decision on here.
I could see a j winning because I

926
01:04:49.119 --> 01:04:54.960
could see him bragging about it.
I could see I could say, any

927
01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:58.079
of them winning and bragging about it. Honestly, but I think I think

928
01:04:58.199 --> 01:05:03.079
here they're gonna go ship Sky Nakamura. I think Schinsk oddly enough needs it

929
01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:09.679
more than any of them, just
to establish his his role right now in

930
01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:13.679
his reign as Intercondinal Champion, which, by the way, that new title

931
01:05:13.760 --> 01:05:15.880
is, in my opinion, is
just beautiful. I just think it's it's

932
01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:20.679
so so well done. I didn't
really think that they needed to replace the

933
01:05:21.159 --> 01:05:27.119
title, but it's I think it's
a beautiful title now was But yeah,

934
01:05:27.280 --> 01:05:29.679
I think Shinska pulls it out here, and I do think this is going

935
01:05:29.760 --> 01:05:32.559
to be matching the night, maybe
besides the women's match the triple Threat,

936
01:05:34.239 --> 01:05:38.079
but yeah, I definitely I think
this is gonna be matching night, and

937
01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:41.039
I think shin Skate pulls it out
here, and I can see Sammy just

938
01:05:41.199 --> 01:05:46.079
bragging about this for weeks on end. Very possible. I would say that's

939
01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:49.480
my number two choice. The only
reason I'm going with Roderick Strong here is

940
01:05:49.519 --> 01:05:55.199
because I'm continuing with my theme of
the NXT sweep, and I think that

941
01:05:55.800 --> 01:06:00.119
Roderick could if he's gonna pin somebody. I think AJ Styles is probably the

942
01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:04.880
better candidate given that Shinsky seems to
be on the upswing, and I don't

943
01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:10.719
need Shinska to lose another match,
So Roderick should pin AJ Styles in my

944
01:06:10.760 --> 01:06:15.079
opinion, and keep Shinsky out of
it and continue with the sweep. I

945
01:06:15.119 --> 01:06:18.079
think AJ Styles can lose right AJ
Styles right now is just kind of part

946
01:06:18.119 --> 01:06:20.880
of the o C. They're the
only one that comes to Row's aid.

947
01:06:21.000 --> 01:06:27.559
Inexplicably, and they like aj Styles
is a bit he's a bit teflon.

948
01:06:27.639 --> 01:06:30.760
I think that he can take this
loss and it wouldn't hurt him a damn

949
01:06:30.760 --> 01:06:33.400
bit and we all move on with
our lives. So I think Roderick Strong

950
01:06:33.760 --> 01:06:36.400
is probably gonna take the victory.
And as you said, the new IC

951
01:06:36.599 --> 01:06:41.000
title, it's one of those things
we didn't know we needed. And when

952
01:06:41.000 --> 01:06:44.719
you look at it, like you
said, I'm not huge on titles the

953
01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:46.599
way they look. Although I hated
the spinner Belt for like eight years.

954
01:06:48.119 --> 01:06:50.440
It was like a toy to me. When John Cena did it, it

955
01:06:50.599 --> 01:06:58.119
just semented. It's cemented further why
I just despised his baby face character and

956
01:06:58.840 --> 01:07:00.280
as brilliant as he is on the
mike, and he's a talented guy,

957
01:07:00.440 --> 01:07:03.760
hard work, all that kind of
stuff, that was to me a complete

958
01:07:03.840 --> 01:07:10.199
devaluation of the championship. But that's
again another show. So yeah, it's

959
01:07:10.199 --> 01:07:12.280
one of those things I didn't know
we needed. And I look at it

960
01:07:12.280 --> 01:07:14.960
and I go, I'm on board
for that. I mean, it's all

961
01:07:15.039 --> 01:07:16.880
right, yeah, And it made
it feel a little bit more up to

962
01:07:17.039 --> 01:07:23.400
date, and it made it feel
a little bit more valuable and Yeah,

963
01:07:23.480 --> 01:07:27.920
yes, it doesn't always instantly make
the championship, you know, more prestigious,

964
01:07:27.960 --> 01:07:30.159
but when you give something a new, fresh code of paint, sometimes

965
01:07:30.480 --> 01:07:35.840
that can work wonders And I'm fine
with this. I would think that it's

966
01:07:35.880 --> 01:07:40.480
anything right now that it can help
Shinsk is something I'm on board for.

967
01:07:40.679 --> 01:07:46.239
So Roderick Strong beats aj Styles and
continues with the sweep. Yeah, Hey,

968
01:07:46.280 --> 01:07:49.679
I hope you're right. I hope
NXT does sweep it the whole night.

969
01:07:49.760 --> 01:07:55.119
I mean, last year we saw
that it doesn't really matter, but

970
01:07:55.159 --> 01:07:59.440
I think it's different this year.
So I think if any brand is going

971
01:07:59.480 --> 01:08:02.480
to sweep off, obviously it should
be NXT, just with all the implications

972
01:08:02.480 --> 01:08:06.400
and everything going on around you know, Wednesday night in and of itself.

973
01:08:08.079 --> 01:08:10.400
So yeah, I hope, I
hope you're right, And I hope it

974
01:08:10.440 --> 01:08:14.960
isn't a sweet for NXC. I
do too, because that's the only good

975
01:08:14.960 --> 01:08:19.720
thing that can come out of all
of this total nonsensical, unbelievable, awful

976
01:08:19.800 --> 01:08:24.079
storytelling of this up. It's November. We gotta all hate each other because

977
01:08:24.079 --> 01:08:28.000
we're on different brands, Like this
is the only good thing that can come

978
01:08:28.000 --> 01:08:31.079
out of it is a clean Sweet
for n XT because I think the benefits

979
01:08:31.159 --> 01:08:36.760
of that completely outweigh any other victories
that any other team can get because everyone

980
01:08:36.800 --> 01:08:41.560
will bounce back. Everybody's going to
go back to their own worlds, go

981
01:08:41.720 --> 01:08:45.039
back to you know, I'm on
SmackDown, I'm on NXT, and I'm

982
01:08:45.079 --> 01:08:46.720
fine with that. That's the way
it should be. So it'll all be

983
01:08:46.760 --> 01:08:49.880
forgotten and we'll move on to TLC
and you get a chairs match, you

984
01:08:49.880 --> 01:08:53.159
get a tables match, I get
a ladder match, because it's just the

985
01:08:53.199 --> 01:08:56.600
pay per view, So we'll get
onto that and this will be forgotten.

986
01:08:56.640 --> 01:09:00.600
But I don't think it'll be lost
on fans if there's a clean sweet NXT,

987
01:09:00.880 --> 01:09:04.079
because they're the ones that need to
This would benefit them more than then

988
01:09:04.880 --> 01:09:10.840
take away from the losses of Raw
and SmackDown teams. I think there's a

989
01:09:10.840 --> 01:09:15.800
big net gain here for NXT to
win all of their matches, and it

990
01:09:15.840 --> 01:09:18.920
would not hurt SmackDown, a Raw
and at all in any of the competitors.

991
01:09:18.920 --> 01:09:23.520
Everyone will bounce back just fine.
But I think it would hurt NXT

992
01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:28.760
to lose these matches more than it
would hurt RAW or SmackDown to lose them.

993
01:09:28.920 --> 01:09:30.800
I agree with you one hundred percent. Man, I hope that's the

994
01:09:30.880 --> 01:09:33.560
raw that they go. Like you
said that, that's that's the most logical

995
01:09:33.640 --> 01:09:36.600
route. At this point, it's
truly going to be about which brand is

996
01:09:36.600 --> 01:09:41.239
more dominant right now. NXT needs
to be the dominant brand, I mean,

997
01:09:41.279 --> 01:09:44.119
because it really doesn't mean anything,
and I don't mean to say that

998
01:09:44.199 --> 01:09:47.079
in a negative way, like there
really is nothing truly at stakes. So

999
01:09:47.159 --> 01:09:51.319
if it truly is just bragging rights, then I don't see why SmackDown or

1000
01:09:51.439 --> 01:09:57.319
RAW would need to have bragging power
over NXT. So I hope they go

1001
01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:02.079
that direction. For sure. Nobody
needs bragging rights other than NXT. And

1002
01:10:02.119 --> 01:10:05.960
people were speculating about Triple H getting
in interfering and he's going to compete at

1003
01:10:05.960 --> 01:10:12.840
Survivors. I don't need Triple competing
and I don't think no, and Triple

1004
01:10:12.960 --> 01:10:15.560
H doesn't want Triple H to compete
because it's not about Triple H anymore.

1005
01:10:16.199 --> 01:10:20.000
He is the brainchild, he is
the father of NXT. We all know

1006
01:10:20.079 --> 01:10:24.720
that it's not It's not something that
Triple H shouldn't be intimately involved with on

1007
01:10:24.800 --> 01:10:28.880
that level because that, to me
would take the shine away from the guys

1008
01:10:28.920 --> 01:10:31.039
and gals that do deserve it,
that have brought this brand up to what

1009
01:10:31.079 --> 01:10:33.680
it is and have worked their ass
off to make it what it is.

1010
01:10:34.000 --> 01:10:36.720
And yes, Triple H has worked
behind the scenes and it was his vision,

1011
01:10:36.760 --> 01:10:41.159
and of course that's important, but
from a physical standpoint, it's not

1012
01:10:41.239 --> 01:10:45.279
about his generation anymore. So I'm
glad that that's not something that happened,

1013
01:10:45.319 --> 01:10:47.439
and I really hope it's not a
surprise thing that happens tomorrow night. So

1014
01:10:47.680 --> 01:10:50.560
all right, Well, one more
match to go, and that is Adam

1015
01:10:50.560 --> 01:10:55.840
Cole versus Pete Done. My thoughts, I think Adam Cole wins. I

1016
01:10:55.840 --> 01:11:00.279
think he retains and he should.
It's Adam Colebaybay, and that's the way

1017
01:11:00.279 --> 01:11:03.840
it's going to be. And I
think, yes, Pete Done is a

1018
01:11:03.960 --> 01:11:10.840
credible competitor and I think they could
put on a really good match. But

1019
01:11:10.920 --> 01:11:15.439
Adam Cole right now is the face
of NXT. He's the NXT Champion.

1020
01:11:15.359 --> 01:11:19.800
He has made a splash unsmackdown a
number of times in his end his matches

1021
01:11:19.800 --> 01:11:26.319
with Seth Rollins and specifically Daniel Bryan. I expect good, good things from

1022
01:11:26.319 --> 01:11:30.119
this match, but I just see
zero reason to take championship off Cole at

1023
01:11:30.119 --> 01:11:34.680
this point, I absolutely agree with
you. I think Adam Cole has been

1024
01:11:34.960 --> 01:11:41.680
pretty much the primary focus from the
NXC brand throughout the Invasion Angles. I

1025
01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:44.680
mean, like I said earlier,
a few other people have gotten there their

1026
01:11:44.720 --> 01:11:47.680
shine as well, and I don't
mean in a negative way at all,

1027
01:11:47.720 --> 01:11:53.239
but Adam Cole should be the focus. He's your heavyweight champion. I think

1028
01:11:53.279 --> 01:11:58.680
if if Pete Dyne had been more
involved and had shown up more within the

1029
01:11:58.680 --> 01:12:00.960
bill to Summer Slam, it made
just seen his space more so like your

1030
01:12:00.960 --> 01:12:05.279
people who don't watch NXC would have
an understanding of Pete donn or at least

1031
01:12:05.359 --> 01:12:11.399
know his name, because I think
a lot of people maybe not in Chicago

1032
01:12:11.520 --> 01:12:15.960
tomorrow night, just because of Chicago
being just like wrestling city in and of

1033
01:12:15.000 --> 01:12:17.720
itself, but I think a lot
of your people at home aren't gonna know

1034
01:12:17.880 --> 01:12:23.000
really who Pete Donne is. They
may have heard of his name if anything,

1035
01:12:23.560 --> 01:12:25.760
but I don't. I don't think
the majority of the moon and I

1036
01:12:25.760 --> 01:12:29.319
think it's gonna be a great match, but I think Adam Cole needs to

1037
01:12:29.319 --> 01:12:32.039
win here. He needs to keep
the title, and just really quick,

1038
01:12:32.039 --> 01:12:35.399
because I can't just think about the
schedule that he's been on and all the

1039
01:12:35.439 --> 01:12:40.960
other the index te guys themselves,
and just the crazy just traveling schedule WG

1040
01:12:41.159 --> 01:12:44.680
has had within the past month.
So for that reason alone, I hope

1041
01:12:44.720 --> 01:12:48.039
Adam Adam colemins because he he deserves
this. Oh my god, the travel

1042
01:12:48.039 --> 01:12:51.279
schedule. When you look at where
they've gone and what they've done, Oh

1043
01:12:51.319 --> 01:12:57.000
my god. From like son thinking
about it, yeah, like where it

1044
01:12:57.079 --> 01:12:59.760
really has made me step back when
I look at like, oh my god,

1045
01:12:59.800 --> 01:13:01.600
they're in the UK, but they're
back in Boston, then they're in

1046
01:13:01.600 --> 01:13:05.479
Saudi Arabia and back in like yeah, it's just like, holy crap,

1047
01:13:05.560 --> 01:13:11.399
guys, I mean, is wrestling
back to back to back. Yeah,

1048
01:13:11.560 --> 01:13:15.039
I'm sure that these guys and gals
are going to be sore as hell come

1049
01:13:15.079 --> 01:13:18.399
tomorrow night. And it's just really
it's not I'm not talking about from a

1050
01:13:18.399 --> 01:13:21.359
storyline perspective. I'm talking from like
a human element here, Yeah, like

1051
01:13:21.640 --> 01:13:25.760
just from the perspective of like,
these are people. I mean, yeah,

1052
01:13:25.760 --> 01:13:28.199
the storylines are all that kind of
stuff. We can complain about it

1053
01:13:28.359 --> 01:13:30.159
all that whatever, or love them, but the fact of the matter is

1054
01:13:30.199 --> 01:13:33.560
when you look at their travel schedule
and how much they're competing, and you

1055
01:13:33.600 --> 01:13:36.840
know, they're busting their ass and
you know they're sore. It's stuff that

1056
01:13:36.880 --> 01:13:41.039
you as a fan sometimes forget.
I mean, but when I looked at

1057
01:13:41.079 --> 01:13:44.000
their schedule and looked at how much
they're competing and how much they're traveling,

1058
01:13:44.600 --> 01:13:46.159
I actually it took on a second. I'm like, oh my God,

1059
01:13:46.319 --> 01:13:50.399
like god a ton, Like it's
not like they're going from Saudi Arabia back

1060
01:13:50.439 --> 01:13:54.199
to the United States, back to
the United Kingdom, like, but then

1061
01:13:54.319 --> 01:13:57.520
like a year, it's within a
month and a half, you know,

1062
01:13:57.760 --> 01:14:00.560
Like it's just man. You know, sometimes, like you said, I

1063
01:14:00.560 --> 01:14:06.079
think we all as fans forget just
the work and just the time and the

1064
01:14:06.079 --> 01:14:10.680
sacrifice of these guys and girls,
like and people behind the scenes too,

1065
01:14:10.800 --> 01:14:15.159
just that they put into this and
it's just amazing. But man, I

1066
01:14:15.560 --> 01:14:18.640
couldn't even imagine being being in that
type of environment and that schedule. But

1067
01:14:18.720 --> 01:14:21.319
yeah, that's that's one of the
reason why I hope Adam cole wins this,

1068
01:14:21.479 --> 01:14:24.800
just because of course be Done deserves
it as well. Don't get me

1069
01:14:24.800 --> 01:14:27.399
wrong, not discounting him at all, but I just think right now this

1070
01:14:27.399 --> 01:14:30.359
would be just the perfect ending for
Adam Cole's build within this past few weeks.

1071
01:14:30.840 --> 01:14:33.640
Oh yeah, no question, no
question. And you know, like

1072
01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:36.680
you said, with the travel,
and I've you know, I'm complaining about

1073
01:14:36.680 --> 01:14:40.359
my twelve minute ride to work.
Oh I got you know, traffic.

1074
01:14:40.399 --> 01:14:43.119
You know, I feel like such
a you know, get their red lights

1075
01:14:43.119 --> 01:14:45.319
and stuff like it's, oh my
god, I hit the red light on

1076
01:14:45.359 --> 01:14:48.119
the way to work. It costs
me another minute. I Meanwhile, you

1077
01:14:48.159 --> 01:14:51.720
know, they're on the plane for
sixteen hours and then get stuck inside of

1078
01:14:51.720 --> 01:14:56.319
Arabia with god knows what actually happened
there, and then come back to the

1079
01:14:56.359 --> 01:14:59.319
United States, go back to the
United Kingdoms, go back to Boston to

1080
01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:01.319
like and I'm sitting here like,
damn this red light and I feel like

1081
01:15:01.319 --> 01:15:04.520
it's a tool, all right,
Like you know, I mean, so

1082
01:15:05.359 --> 01:15:09.239
it's all perspective. But you know, sometimes you look at that kind of

1083
01:15:09.279 --> 01:15:13.560
stuff, it makes you really appreciate
just how tough what they do is.

1084
01:15:13.600 --> 01:15:16.319
It's not just what happens in the
ring. It's ninety eight percent of their

1085
01:15:16.319 --> 01:15:19.560
time is not in the ring.
It's it's you know, working out or

1086
01:15:19.600 --> 01:15:26.960
making sure they're eating right over that
yeah, well that's what they spend ninety

1087
01:15:27.000 --> 01:15:29.800
eight percent of their time doing is
to get that two percent of time in

1088
01:15:29.840 --> 01:15:31.760
the ring. It's it's just crazy. And people think, oh, it's

1089
01:15:31.760 --> 01:15:35.039
just all about in the ring.
No, there's promos you gotta cut,

1090
01:15:35.079 --> 01:15:40.000
there's management, there's issues, there's
what's going on at home. Have you

1091
01:15:40.039 --> 01:15:42.600
talked to your wife or husband?
What's going on with your kids? You

1092
01:15:42.600 --> 01:15:45.720
know, you're missing birthdays and anniversaries
and all this kind of stuff. And

1093
01:15:45.760 --> 01:15:47.479
you're traveling, you're tired. You
gotta compete, you gotta work out,

1094
01:15:47.520 --> 01:15:50.039
you gotta get your car, you
gotta get off the plane, get your

1095
01:15:50.079 --> 01:15:55.199
baggage, like all this stuff that
we all just all we do is just

1096
01:15:55.279 --> 01:15:59.399
sit or whatever, and you know, pull up Hulu, pull up USA

1097
01:15:59.479 --> 01:16:01.600
Network, pull up Fox, and
we just watch our shows and we just

1098
01:16:01.600 --> 01:16:04.119
take for granted that, oh,
here they are again. But you don't

1099
01:16:04.119 --> 01:16:06.800
realize all the effort it took to
get there. I mean, so,

1100
01:16:08.039 --> 01:16:10.880
I don't know, So props of
those guys and gals to being able to

1101
01:16:10.920 --> 01:16:15.960
put up with the schedule and just
the just awful, uh almost brutal schedule

1102
01:16:16.039 --> 01:16:19.520
that they have at times, and
uh, the physicality and then they're beat

1103
01:16:19.600 --> 01:16:23.279
up and then you got to deal
with injuries. It's crazy. Yeah,

1104
01:16:23.359 --> 01:16:26.359
man, it really is. Kidn't
said it better myself? Oh man,

1105
01:16:26.520 --> 01:16:28.960
Now I have a lot more respect
for these guys the more I think about

1106
01:16:29.000 --> 01:16:30.800
it, because as a fan,
it's easy, it's easy to get,

1107
01:16:31.119 --> 01:16:35.359
you know, get involved in the
storylines and forget about these human beings that

1108
01:16:35.399 --> 01:16:40.079
are going through this. So all
right, well, Ashley, was there

1109
01:16:40.119 --> 01:16:43.479
anything else I missed to talk about
Survivor series of that you wanted to bring

1110
01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:47.600
up? No, I think I
think we covered everything. But by the

1111
01:16:47.640 --> 01:16:53.239
way, I did look up when
TLC is and it's on December fifteenth,

1112
01:16:53.279 --> 01:16:58.720
and if I'm not mistaken, three
weeks out is December fourteenth, so I

1113
01:16:58.760 --> 01:17:02.760
think it is the next prediction show. Yes, yes, oh that is

1114
01:17:02.800 --> 01:17:09.039
awesome. So we are gonna continue. We will, we will so crazy,

1115
01:17:09.560 --> 01:17:12.199
that's nuts. And then I don't
know about Rumble. We'll get there

1116
01:17:12.199 --> 01:17:15.840
when we get there. But usually
the Rumble, the the time between the

1117
01:17:15.840 --> 01:17:19.680
December TLC pay perview and rumbles usually
be a little bit longer. Yeah,

1118
01:17:19.800 --> 01:17:24.039
four sometimes five weeks, so I
think we'll break our streak there. But

1119
01:17:24.199 --> 01:17:27.720
all right, well, that that
sounds like a plan with with TLC,

1120
01:17:28.000 --> 01:17:31.079
right before the holidays, So yeah, sounds great. All right, Well,

1121
01:17:31.119 --> 01:17:34.079
Ashley, thanks again so much for
coming on. I know that it's

1122
01:17:34.079 --> 01:17:39.479
always a blast. Listeners love you, and I always want to make sure

1123
01:17:39.479 --> 01:17:43.760
that you get a chance to plug
the other podcast that you do that's on

1124
01:17:43.840 --> 01:17:47.039
Facebook and lots of other platforms.
Oh yeah, thank you so much.

1125
01:17:47.079 --> 01:17:51.760
It's Yeah, Russell Rewind. We
are live Thursdays at eight thirty on Facebook,

1126
01:17:51.760 --> 01:17:56.720
where you can listen to us on
pretty much any podcast after you have

1127
01:17:56.880 --> 01:18:00.399
access to the pretty much immediately after, so I just search for a wrestle

1128
01:18:00.439 --> 01:18:02.840
Reryan on Yeah, and if you
want to follow me on Twitter, it's

1129
01:18:02.960 --> 01:18:06.760
at ash m a n NS.
Feel free to give me a follow,

1130
01:18:06.800 --> 01:18:11.359
I'll follow you back and we can
talk wrestling or whatever. But yeah,

1131
01:18:11.760 --> 01:18:15.840
it's always a blast coming in and
talking wrestling with you, man, especially

1132
01:18:15.880 --> 01:18:18.439
with these prediction episodes. I can't
wait to see what actually happens tomorrow night,

1133
01:18:18.439 --> 01:18:20.199
because at the end of the day, I think it's gonna be a

1134
01:18:20.199 --> 01:18:24.359
great show and I think each matches
it's gonna have its moments, so I'm

1135
01:18:24.520 --> 01:18:27.720
excited to see how it turns out. Absolutely, I mean, I think

1136
01:18:27.720 --> 01:18:31.079
the quality of matches is gonna be
high because the talent level is so good.

1137
01:18:31.439 --> 01:18:34.000
I just think we're gonna be burned
out a triple threat after this.

1138
01:18:34.199 --> 01:18:39.439
I'm sure triple threat is just gonna
it's not even gonna be a phrase that

1139
01:18:39.520 --> 01:18:42.840
I want to hear again. I
mean, I'm talking years, I don't

1140
01:18:42.840 --> 01:18:45.920
want to hear about a triple threat
match again. But so yeah, I

1141
01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:47.079
mean, I'm looking forward to it. But actually, look, it's been

1142
01:18:47.079 --> 01:18:51.680
a blast, and we'll see you
on the other side and just before TLC,

1143
01:18:51.960 --> 01:18:56.560
which I'm very interesting to see what
the landscape is like at that point.

1144
01:18:56.960 --> 01:19:00.079
Me too. Who knows. With
how crazy this world has been and

1145
01:19:00.239 --> 01:19:03.079
lately, it could be complete one
eighty between now and then, so we'll

1146
01:19:03.119 --> 01:19:08.079
say awesome. Well, hopefully in
the next time we talk, maybe we

1147
01:19:08.119 --> 01:19:11.800
would have seen CM punk, although
I could probably Yeah, yeah, that

1148
01:19:11.800 --> 01:19:15.039
would be great. Ashley, you
have a good night and we will talk

1149
01:19:15.039 --> 01:19:17.199
in a few weeks. Sounds great. Take care you two. Bye.
