WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 1>This is WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to

2
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the WWE podcast show.

3
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>The one that everybody wants.

4
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:29.039
<v Speaker 3>Me sixteen So die work your ass is my nd.

5
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:30.559
<v Speaker 1>You're going to acknowledge me?

6
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:34.560
<v Speaker 2>What is going on? Everybody?

7
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:39.679
<v Speaker 4>It's your boy Dan here reviewing Main Event for this week.

8
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 4>I think we're onto episode four of the Main Event

9
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 4>show with a lot of content happening at the moment.

10
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.079
<v Speaker 4>This has been obviously posted after or on the day

11
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.039
<v Speaker 4>of the Royal Rumble, so had to tune into that.

12
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 4>We obviously know all the results there, which I'd like

13
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 4>to dive into, but first we will discuss basically what

14
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 4>happened on Main Event, which was aired the thirtieth of January,

15
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:12.400
<v Speaker 4>and we're recorded and been uploaded onto Peacock Saturday night

16
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 4>for Eastern time and my time here on a Sunday

17
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 4>during the day. So yeah, lots to cover here, especially

18
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 4>with basically what's been happening with the Royal Rumble and

19
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 4>what's been happening in the lead up to that as well,

20
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 4>and seeing how kind of I guess the Main.

21
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.319
<v Speaker 2>Events show dives into that.

22
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.680
<v Speaker 4>Not a huge effect, but some of the results I

23
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.319
<v Speaker 4>guess did make a lot of sense leading up to that.

24
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.280
<v Speaker 4>So yes, as mentioned, this was aired before Raw. We

25
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 4>had the first match, which was between Natalia and I

26
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 4>think it was Alba Fire, which led to Natalia getting

27
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.200
<v Speaker 4>the victory here due to a sharpshooter, which was something surprising,

28
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 4>I guess in a sense of having a submission victory,

29
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 4>but with Natalia being her finisher, it does make sense.

30
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 4>But maybe I would have assumed that there would have

31
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.039
<v Speaker 4>been a roll up victory here. I think looking at

32
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 4>the fact that Natalia did enter the Royal Rumble, it

33
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:13.879
<v Speaker 4>did make sense that she won this match, giving her

34
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.960
<v Speaker 4>momentum into into going into the Royal Rumble. And yeah,

35
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 4>it was a surprise not to see Alba Fire or

36
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.439
<v Speaker 4>either Dawn for that matter, being the Royal Rumble as well,

37
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:28.319
<v Speaker 4>but I guess from the results we did see probably

38
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 4>won't needed, especially being a tag team as well.

39
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 2>But yep, Natala getting the victory here, putting herself.

40
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:41.759
<v Speaker 4>Into some momentum for what was entertaining entertaining Royal Rumble.

41
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.479
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, it didn't really matter much in the end

42
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.639
<v Speaker 4>because she didn't win it anyway, but I guess for

43
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 4>the fans that were there, they might have thought that

44
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 4>there was a very slim chance that she could have won.

45
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.719
<v Speaker 4>But then we had the match between Our Truth and

46
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.919
<v Speaker 4>Ludwig Kaiser, which was such a great match. Love Our Truth.

47
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 4>Our Truth's been a national treasure, been a legend of

48
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 4>the company for so long, and obvious his like playing

49
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.120
<v Speaker 4>dumb gimmick has been nothing short of incredible. Makes me

50
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 4>laugh every time you saw him at the start of

51
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.479
<v Speaker 4>the match doessing Ludwick Kaiser over the top bar thinking

52
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.639
<v Speaker 4>that it was a Royal Rumble match, and then you

53
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 4>had obviously his momentum kind of moves of John Senna,

54
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:28.199
<v Speaker 4>who's his childhood friend. Obviously them being think Our Truth

55
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 4>being a bit older than him doesn't really make sense,

56
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 4>but yet again still brings out laughs. Our Truth getting

57
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 4>the victory here, which was actually a massive surprise with

58
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 4>a roll up. I'm not really sure why they gave

59
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Our Truth the victory here. I guess to make Ludwig

60
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.520
<v Speaker 4>Kaiser I look like a laughing stock twice in a row,

61
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.439
<v Speaker 4>because obviously no one that has watched main event would

62
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 4>have saw that this this happened. So then when at

63
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.159
<v Speaker 4>the Royal Rumble, when Luke for Kaiser did get eliminated

64
00:03:57.639 --> 00:03:59.479
<v Speaker 4>within like two seconds by Penta.

65
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.759
<v Speaker 2>This kind of would have been like the double edged

66
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 2>sword essentially, So you're losing.

67
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:07.719
<v Speaker 4>Too Ar Truth by a roll up count victory on

68
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.680
<v Speaker 4>main event, and then the week after, when you're entering

69
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.280
<v Speaker 4>one of the biggest matches of your career, you get

70
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.680
<v Speaker 4>done within two seconds. So Kayles is gonna come back

71
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 4>with a lot of vengeance. And I think with the

72
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 4>match between Our Truth, there's nothing really moving forward there.

73
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 4>I think there's going to be something with Penta down

74
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 4>the line for sure, since he did get eliminated by him.

75
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.480
<v Speaker 4>But I guess that's probably why again they gave Ar

76
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.959
<v Speaker 4>Truth to victory. It was a shame that we didn't

77
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 4>get to see Our Truth in the Royal Bubble. Would

78
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 4>have loved to see him there, just for a bit

79
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 4>of a spot where he could have just done something

80
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 4>hilarious for the crowd to be entertained with. But nevertheless,

81
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.600
<v Speaker 4>him getting a victory here. Let's see what happens on

82
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 4>RAW next week if he gets a spot, as we'd

83
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 4>love to see him there as everyone loves to see

84
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 4>Our Truth featured in WW. But yeah, again, it's been

85
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.800
<v Speaker 4>a while since he's had match, so it was good

86
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.839
<v Speaker 4>to see him, yeah on main event, showcasing and giving

87
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 4>the crowd some entertainment before Raw started.

88
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I guess normally we do.

89
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.279
<v Speaker 4>Discuss things about Raw and SmackDown, but due to the

90
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 4>fact that the Royal Rumble has passed, a lot of

91
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 4>the promos that have led up to the Royal Rumble

92
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 4>kind of don't really make sense. There wasn't really much

93
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 4>to kind of I guess move on there. We did

94
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 4>see Seampunk and Cody Rhodes obviously having their spit out,

95
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.920
<v Speaker 4>basically mentioning that if Sampunk grins the Royal Rumble, be

96
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 4>careful for Creater Roads, but that doesn't end up happening.

97
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.839
<v Speaker 4>We also get a promo between Logan, Paul Seth, Rollins,

98
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:44.319
<v Speaker 4>and Drew McIntyre basically talking and explaining how, yeah, they're

99
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.079
<v Speaker 4>all gonna be in the Royal Rumble and they're all

100
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:46.560
<v Speaker 4>gonna win.

101
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Et cetera, et cetera.

102
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:52.279
<v Speaker 4>But AnyWho, we will dive into the quick roy Rumble results.

103
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 4>Before that, I'll give you my predictions. We had the

104
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 4>first match that I predicted correctly. I know it sounds

105
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 4>like I haven't done the show before, but I did

106
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 4>predict that Charlotte Flair was going to win the Royal Rumble.

107
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.279
<v Speaker 4>It just makes sense considering that they're going to set

108
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 4>up that match with Tiffany Stratton, and then also the

109
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.639
<v Speaker 4>promo before just indicated to me that she was going

110
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.439
<v Speaker 4>to win it. It would have been nice for Charlotte's

111
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.079
<v Speaker 4>sake that that promo didn't happen because we would have

112
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.839
<v Speaker 4>probably got a better pop there. But the match itself, yep,

113
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.720
<v Speaker 4>she ended up winning a few decent spots. The girl

114
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.399
<v Speaker 4>from NXT I think her name is I can't get

115
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.959
<v Speaker 4>off the top of my head, but that death Valley

116
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:38.879
<v Speaker 4>Driver to Piper Nivem was simply incredible. Her basically carrying

117
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.199
<v Speaker 4>double her body weight to do that maneuver was awesome

118
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 4>and hopefully she gets her full time appearance now in

119
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.959
<v Speaker 4>WW hopefully on the main show as well. After that spot,

120
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:52.839
<v Speaker 4>we did know that she was as mentioned on TNA

121
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 4>as well, so awesome to see credit to leave Morgan

122
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.240
<v Speaker 4>who helped with a bit of a wardrobe malfunction on

123
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 4>Layer of Alki as well. She was really good in

124
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.040
<v Speaker 4>the match to last at a really long time, and

125
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.240
<v Speaker 4>it was really impressive to also see Rox and Perez

126
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.920
<v Speaker 4>make the final the final three or the final two

127
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:16.680
<v Speaker 4>in the end, which was surprising, but again shows that

128
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.079
<v Speaker 4>WW really rate Rox and Perez And it's only a

129
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 4>matter of time now that she ends up getting onto

130
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.199
<v Speaker 4>the main roster and potentially performing there.

131
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>There is a.

132
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.319
<v Speaker 4>Small little feud between her and Bailey that could probably

133
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 4>be continued on live TV, so let's see what happens there.

134
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.399
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, next to the performance for Rox and Perez,

135
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:45.240
<v Speaker 4>but yeah, Charlotte Flair getting the victory. Alyssa Bliss's surprise

136
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.519
<v Speaker 4>pop was awesome too. She looks so cool in the ring,

137
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.839
<v Speaker 4>just giving that tribute to bray Wire and with her

138
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.160
<v Speaker 4>doll as well, coming out to a massive pop, And

139
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:59.079
<v Speaker 4>it was a massive surprise there that she obviously came.

140
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:00.759
<v Speaker 4>And it's been over to and a half years since

141
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 4>she's performed in the ring, and I do think based

142
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.839
<v Speaker 4>on what I saw just a little kind of advertisement

143
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.800
<v Speaker 4>that Elysa Bliss was back and there were selling merch

144
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:11.879
<v Speaker 4>that she might be here for the long term. So

145
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:14.240
<v Speaker 4>excited to see what will happen with her, whether she

146
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:16.920
<v Speaker 4>joins the White Six or whether.

147
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:18.720
<v Speaker 2>She just becomes a single superstar.

148
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.360
<v Speaker 4>We'll guess, I guess we'll find out but again was

149
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.519
<v Speaker 4>awesome to see her, and then the other surprise was

150
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 4>Nicki Balla, but I feel as though a lot of

151
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.800
<v Speaker 4>people were expecting a j Lee, which was a bit

152
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:33.480
<v Speaker 4>of a bummer because it would have been awesome to

153
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:36.080
<v Speaker 4>see aj Lee come out of the ring, and especially

154
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:38.559
<v Speaker 4>with the ramping so long, her skipping all the way

155
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:40.720
<v Speaker 4>to the ring would have been pretty cool as well.

156
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.360
<v Speaker 4>But hopefully we get to see her again next year.

157
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:45.799
<v Speaker 4>I would love to see aj Lee back into WWE,

158
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.440
<v Speaker 4>but I think she has no interest from what I've

159
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 4>read in the past, she just doesn't really care about

160
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.759
<v Speaker 4>what's going on. I heard when Sampunk was feuding with

161
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.080
<v Speaker 4>Drew McIntyre mentioning her on the b on the wristband

162
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.600
<v Speaker 4>that Sampunk was wearing. She didn't seem to care about it,

163
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 4>so maybe her passion is not with ww and she's

164
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.279
<v Speaker 4>not willing to get back into the ring. We then

165
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.320
<v Speaker 4>had the two out of three falls match between DIY

166
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.840
<v Speaker 4>and the Murder City Machine Guns. The Murder City machine

167
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.360
<v Speaker 4>Guns sorry, but the Murder City They're pretty good, but

168
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.879
<v Speaker 4>they didn't get it done this time due to I

169
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.480
<v Speaker 4>guess Angelo Dawkins and montes Ford interfering with the match.

170
00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:30.080
<v Speaker 4>It was weird that Michael Cole had to basically explain

171
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:35.679
<v Speaker 4>the motives behind Dawkins and Ford, basically probably trying to

172
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.639
<v Speaker 4>just cement that they're not heels. They're still I guess babyfaces,

173
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.519
<v Speaker 4>but it does make their characters a lot more interesting

174
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 4>and the tag team division a lot more interesting as well.

175
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:48.639
<v Speaker 4>You can see that there's a lot of feuds and

176
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.559
<v Speaker 4>a lot of discrontment between all the tag teams, So

177
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:55.559
<v Speaker 4>I do suspect that leading up to WrestleMania, we're going

178
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.320
<v Speaker 4>to have a massive whether it's a six man, a

179
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:00.720
<v Speaker 4>tag ladder match or a four man, we're going to

180
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.919
<v Speaker 4>see a lot of these tag teams involved in WrestleMania.

181
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.279
<v Speaker 4>So they're doing that well and nicely. But yeah, DII

182
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.919
<v Speaker 4>gets the victory here with the help of the Street Profits,

183
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:14.559
<v Speaker 4>but again doesn't really indicate that the Street Profits are

184
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:18.000
<v Speaker 4>aligning with them. They are obviously seeking revenge from being

185
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:21.240
<v Speaker 4>attacked backstage and obviously want their hands on the title

186
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:25.080
<v Speaker 4>as well. A two out of three falls match for

187
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:27.360
<v Speaker 4>a match that went for fourteen minutes, I didn't see

188
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:29.559
<v Speaker 4>the point. It would have been a lot better to

189
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:33.039
<v Speaker 4>have probably a different stipulation. I feel like, with two

190
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.440
<v Speaker 4>out of three falls, the match has to last at

191
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.879
<v Speaker 4>least over thirty minutes, so the fact that it only

192
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.240
<v Speaker 4>lasted fourteen minutes just didn't really make sense. I would

193
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:44.759
<v Speaker 4>have preferred it being a Tornado tag team match or

194
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:49.320
<v Speaker 4>something with I guess no disqualification. Obviously tag teams don't

195
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.200
<v Speaker 4>have that, but maybe a tables match or something.

196
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:52.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but.

197
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:56.080
<v Speaker 4>Definitely the two out of three falls wasn't the ideal

198
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:00.480
<v Speaker 4>stipulation for this type of match, especially given that they

199
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.000
<v Speaker 4>didn't have enough time to work with. But yeah, we'll

200
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.759
<v Speaker 4>see what happens with all the tag teams moving forward.

201
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:08.039
<v Speaker 4>I love that the I wise turned to here. I

202
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.120
<v Speaker 4>think it's been a great angle. I think they're doing

203
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:12.080
<v Speaker 4>a good job with that, and it just makes them

204
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:15.120
<v Speaker 4>a lot more relevant and a lot more meaningful having

205
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.360
<v Speaker 4>those titles on their hands as well. So yeah, I

206
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:21.600
<v Speaker 4>think they're going to drop it at WrestleMania, but the

207
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.960
<v Speaker 4>feuds have been have been pretty nice. And then we

208
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.720
<v Speaker 4>get the my farther match of the night far out

209
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:31.799
<v Speaker 4>this match between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens and a

210
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:36.240
<v Speaker 4>ladder match, Kevin Owens obviously falling short to Cody Rhodes

211
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 4>with that Alabama Slam.

212
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.919
<v Speaker 2>That was brutal, I mean brutal.

213
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 4>You saw Kevin Owens's head hit the ground in his

214
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:49.000
<v Speaker 4>neck twist, oh man, like crazy crazy. And I think

215
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 4>of all the ladder matches I've seen, besides probably that

216
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.039
<v Speaker 4>spot where Jeff Hardy speared edge edge spear and Jeff

217
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.679
<v Speaker 4>Hardy sorry off the top of the ladder, I haven't

218
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.799
<v Speaker 4>seen a brutal a ladder to match them that. And yeah,

219
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.720
<v Speaker 4>fair play to both, to both to both fighters there

220
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:09.480
<v Speaker 4>and both superstars for putting that out for us. Lots

221
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 4>of massive yeah bumps, especially that Alabama Slam and then

222
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.799
<v Speaker 4>even that deaf Vally driver with Kevin Owens. We did

223
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.679
<v Speaker 4>see samu'se ain come out, and I thought for a

224
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:22.600
<v Speaker 4>minute that he was going to come in and prevent

225
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.759
<v Speaker 4>Cody Rhodes from winning the belt, but it seems as

226
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:28.240
<v Speaker 4>though that Kevin Owens couldn't even move, So even if

227
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.399
<v Speaker 4>Samy's Ain was to interfere, I don't think it would

228
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.639
<v Speaker 4>have made any difference because Kevin Owens did not look

229
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.039
<v Speaker 4>like he was gonna he was going to get up

230
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:37.320
<v Speaker 4>anytime soon.

231
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:38.799
<v Speaker 2>But Cody Rose.

232
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.480
<v Speaker 4>Getting the victory there celebrating in front of Kevin Owens

233
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:44.559
<v Speaker 4>as well. That was pretty brutal, considering that Kevin Owens

234
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:48.639
<v Speaker 4>looked absolutely ripped. And now I don't think this was

235
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.120
<v Speaker 4>a surprise. Obviously, it would have been lovely to see

236
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:51.720
<v Speaker 4>Kevin Owens win.

237
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:52.720
<v Speaker 2>It would have shocked the world.

238
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 4>But what's going to be interesting is who's going to

239
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.600
<v Speaker 4>actually fight Cody Rhodes because it doesn't look like the

240
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:02.000
<v Speaker 4>Rocks anywhere to be se and there seems to be

241
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:07.279
<v Speaker 4>a lot of disgrunnlement and feuds scattered leading up to

242
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.399
<v Speaker 4>to I guess WrestleMania, and that no further was shown

243
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:14.720
<v Speaker 4>in the men's royal rumble. Who I guess the winner

244
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.120
<v Speaker 4>caught everyone by surprise, But I'm probably one of the

245
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.639
<v Speaker 4>only few that when it came back to or came

246
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.279
<v Speaker 4>down to John Cena and Jus, so I really was

247
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:29.080
<v Speaker 4>supporting Jay Us and John Cena is literally like my

248
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:32.480
<v Speaker 4>favorite wrestler from when I was a kid. I grew

249
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:34.919
<v Speaker 4>up watching John Cena. I grew up idolizing John Cena.

250
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.480
<v Speaker 4>He to me is the goat, He's the person that

251
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.120
<v Speaker 4>got me into w W. I grew up grabbing his merchant,

252
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.519
<v Speaker 4>being a massive senior fanboy. So I can understand why

253
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.600
<v Speaker 4>this was the case though, between those two, because we

254
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.320
<v Speaker 4>had and we heard all back, even in Money in

255
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:54.279
<v Speaker 4>the Bank that John Cena was going to compete in

256
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.919
<v Speaker 4>the Elimination Chamber, so I knew he wasn't going to

257
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:57.759
<v Speaker 4>win the Royal Rumble.

258
00:13:58.360 --> 00:13:59.840
<v Speaker 2>He will get his seventeenth title.

259
00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:02.000
<v Speaker 4>I hope he does, and I like the way that

260
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.120
<v Speaker 4>they're going with it, because if he was to win

261
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:06.159
<v Speaker 4>the Royal Rumble, it just I don't think would have

262
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:08.799
<v Speaker 4>made sense for the storyline that the fact that he

263
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.679
<v Speaker 4>hasn't won a match, he still can't get over the

264
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.919
<v Speaker 4>hump and getting a victory. He just just buys into

265
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:17.120
<v Speaker 4>that timeline a lot more and buys into the fact

266
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:20.120
<v Speaker 4>that when he eventually does cross that path and gets

267
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.759
<v Speaker 4>a victory and becomes a number one contender for a championship,

268
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.519
<v Speaker 4>then sudden to be looking forward to at WrestleMania. But

269
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.399
<v Speaker 4>enough about him, Jauso getting the victory massive surprise, well deserved.

270
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 4>I know a lot of people saw how deep the

271
00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.840
<v Speaker 4>Royal Rumble was with a lot of people, but I

272
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:44.000
<v Speaker 4>guess jay Us is been killing it and he's so

273
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:46.960
<v Speaker 4>over by the fans. He's worked so hard to get

274
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.399
<v Speaker 4>where he needs to be, getting a singles title, putting

275
00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:54.559
<v Speaker 4>the bloodline food over his singles attributions, and his single

276
00:14:54.639 --> 00:15:00.000
<v Speaker 4>goals constantly getting falling short of the World Heavyweight Championship.

277
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.879
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, much deserved, and he'll most likely face Guntha

278
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:04.720
<v Speaker 4>and what.

279
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:05.720
<v Speaker 2>People got to realize.

280
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:08.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they're probably upset that ja uso one, but it

281
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:11.720
<v Speaker 4>does not necessarily mean that ja Usa is going to

282
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.159
<v Speaker 4>be main eventing WrestleMania. Here, we could see this match

283
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:19.559
<v Speaker 4>between him and Guntha and the second night as the

284
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:22.440
<v Speaker 4>first match, just like we saw with Seth Rollins and

285
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.000
<v Speaker 4>Drew McIntyre. So don't think that just because Jus won

286
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:29.960
<v Speaker 4>the Roy Rumble he's going to instantly main event WrestleMania.

287
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:33.240
<v Speaker 4>He will get a championship match guaranteed, but that does

288
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.679
<v Speaker 4>not mean he will main event WrestleMania, So look out

289
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:41.240
<v Speaker 4>for this space. Besides the win, Jacob Fattu was incredible,

290
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.519
<v Speaker 4>so that was something to be noted of. I was

291
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.679
<v Speaker 4>actually really impressive bron Breaker the truth. I think he

292
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:48.799
<v Speaker 4>was awesome in the ring. That spear On Speed was

293
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:53.960
<v Speaker 4>wild caught me off guard. The spear On Roman Reigns

294
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.720
<v Speaker 4>was also really impressive and it does show that bron

295
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.600
<v Speaker 4>Breaker's got a lot to offer I in ww in

296
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:02.639
<v Speaker 4>the future, and it'll be exciting to see when he

297
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:06.120
<v Speaker 4>starts getting those world title opportunities, because yeah, he was

298
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.840
<v Speaker 4>incredible in the ring as well. Jacob Fatuus mentioned for

299
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:13.159
<v Speaker 4>what we know was unbelievable, But for me, the highlight

300
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:16.240
<v Speaker 4>was the Joe Hendry cameo.

301
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:18.799
<v Speaker 2>Which was was awesome to see.

302
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:21.960
<v Speaker 4>I was hoping that he make his appearance in the

303
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:24.679
<v Speaker 4>Royal Rumble and I'm so glad he did, the fact

304
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:27.039
<v Speaker 4>that he got eliminated from Roman reigns just shows the

305
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.720
<v Speaker 4>levels of like a stardom between the two. But we

306
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.480
<v Speaker 4>all knew that Joe Henju wasn't gonna wasn't gonna win

307
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:36.279
<v Speaker 4>the Rumble, so again, it was still good to see

308
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.639
<v Speaker 4>him appear for was about five minutes, and hopefully that

309
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.480
<v Speaker 4>day comes where he finally becomes a full time WWE superstar,

310
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:47.440
<v Speaker 4>and I feel like he's going to have a lot

311
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.519
<v Speaker 4>to offer when he does eventually arrive.

312
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.480
<v Speaker 2>The other probably thing to mention was.

313
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:58.679
<v Speaker 4>The Sea and Punk elimination of both seth Rolins and

314
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.759
<v Speaker 4>Roman Rains. Seth Rolins basically I think turning heel here

315
00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:05.519
<v Speaker 4>turning and attacking Roman reigns with two curb stumps. But again,

316
00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:07.559
<v Speaker 4>I'm interested to see how those three are going to

317
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:10.680
<v Speaker 4>be involved in this because they were obviously all seeking

318
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.720
<v Speaker 4>championship aspirations. But it seems like the feud between the

319
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:16.359
<v Speaker 4>three of them has sparked a lot of tensions, so

320
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:20.440
<v Speaker 4>that's something to look forward to. Another thing to mention,

321
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:24.480
<v Speaker 4>Penta was the longest ragining the longest lasting iron Man,

322
00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:27.119
<v Speaker 4>which I guess wasn't too much of a surprise, but

323
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:29.240
<v Speaker 4>were able to see kind of what Penta can show,

324
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:31.519
<v Speaker 4>and it looks like wdwe have a lot of plans

325
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:34.559
<v Speaker 4>for him, considering that he did last a really long time.

326
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.200
<v Speaker 4>And then I guess the most interesting one was the

327
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.160
<v Speaker 4>Drew McIntyre elimination. There's a lot of speculation that they

328
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:43.759
<v Speaker 4>had something to do with a botch there. I'm not

329
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:46.160
<v Speaker 4>sure who was involved, but they reckon one superstar was

330
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:49.039
<v Speaker 4>trying to get the limelight. It'll be good to know

331
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:53.079
<v Speaker 4>if that is true, and if it's not, it will

332
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:56.160
<v Speaker 4>also be just I guess interesting how they would play

333
00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.920
<v Speaker 4>that spot in the future, And it seems like they

334
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.400
<v Speaker 4>might find something for Drew McIntyre there, which is interesting,

335
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.359
<v Speaker 4>So we don't know if that is actually something that

336
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:08.839
<v Speaker 4>really happened or whether it's part of the storyline to

337
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.240
<v Speaker 4>make the next coming feud more interesting, but I guess

338
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:14.279
<v Speaker 4>it's going to be something we're going to look forward

339
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.640
<v Speaker 4>to on Raw and on SmackDown and as well as

340
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.640
<v Speaker 4>main Event, which will showcase I guess the episodes between

341
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.519
<v Speaker 4>SmackDown and Raw when PL's come. It is really difficult

342
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:28.200
<v Speaker 4>to record these because their main event episode does come

343
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:31.839
<v Speaker 4>out the day of the PL, so it's really hard

344
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:34.440
<v Speaker 4>to kind of backtrack and recap what happens on Raw

345
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:37.680
<v Speaker 4>and s Backdown when you guys already knowing the results

346
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.720
<v Speaker 4>of Raw Rumble, So those promos don't really lead into

347
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:48.000
<v Speaker 4>anything that I can kind of discuss or predict come

348
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:51.200
<v Speaker 4>the PL. But next week will be obviously much easier

349
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:54.559
<v Speaker 4>because we'll have Raw and SmackDown filmed and also the

350
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:58.519
<v Speaker 4>main event on Sunday before Raw as on Tuesday for me,

351
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:02.799
<v Speaker 4>so these all talking in Australian time. But again, Raw

352
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.039
<v Speaker 4>is going to be pretty amazing tomorrow. I'm really excited

353
00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:08.319
<v Speaker 4>to see the ramifications about everything that's happened, what's going

354
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:12.000
<v Speaker 4>to happen with jay Us moving onto WrestleMania. So happy

355
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:13.400
<v Speaker 4>is won the Royal Rumble. I think a lot of

356
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:16.799
<v Speaker 4>views are upset, but personally, I'm more than happy with

357
00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:18.920
<v Speaker 4>jayus So winning it. I feel like he deserves the

358
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:21.640
<v Speaker 4>spot and I really hope he does get that World

359
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.079
<v Speaker 4>Championship title because I feel like he is deserving of

360
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:26.119
<v Speaker 4>it and the only real way for him to get

361
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:28.680
<v Speaker 4>that spot is to win matches like this and win

362
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:33.119
<v Speaker 4>the fans over, solidifying his main event status, which is.

363
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:34.160
<v Speaker 2>What he likes to claim.

364
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:37.000
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, just a quick one today, Not too much

365
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:39.839
<v Speaker 4>to dive into a lot of I guess roll rumble talk,

366
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.319
<v Speaker 4>but yeah, in terms of the main event, not too

367
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.440
<v Speaker 4>much to dial into there. Hopefully next week we have

368
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:49.160
<v Speaker 4>a lot to cover, we get a lot of questions

369
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:49.920
<v Speaker 4>answered as well.

370
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.480
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, that's all for me today.

371
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.039
<v Speaker 4>Again, love the Royal Rumble, so it's always good to

372
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:58.799
<v Speaker 4>kind of give my take on what happened there. But again,

373
00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:01.039
<v Speaker 4>catches all next week. Cheers.
