WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:06.719 Listen WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre, and you're listening to the 2 00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:15.919 WWE podcast show. 3 00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:26.280 The one that everybody wants me sixteen. So I just 4 00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:32.439 work your asks is mind you can acknowledge me what 5 00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.240 is going on? Everybody, And welcome back to this week's 6 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.719 main event review post Backlash. I really excited to kind 7 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.439 of get this review underway for you guys. Now, for 8 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.000 those that have normally tuned into my main event reviews 9 00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:49.159 when there is a PL, I normally tend to review 10 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.679 the actions and matches that happen in a PL only 11 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.479 because the stuff that main event show for Raw and 12 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.240 SmackDown have probably happened based on the PL as well. 13 00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.880 But first we'll obviously start with the main event matches 14 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.640 and then we'll get onto yes Backlash and basically the 15 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:11.359 aftermath of that. For some of the Raw spots and segments, 16 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.280 they won't related to what happened in Backlash as well, 17 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.280 so I'll review that in this episode too, But again, 18 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:21.879 once again, thank you guys for tuning in, and we'll 19 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.760 get straight into it. So for the first match, we 20 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.480 had Maxine Dupris taking on Zobe Stark, who just seems 21 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.560 to be losing members each week. Now she's on her own. 22 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.640 There's no SHANEA. Besler, there's no Sony Deville, there is 23 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.959 no PFC Zobe. Stark needs to find her own way 24 00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.200 as a single star in WWE, and she gets a 25 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:47.920 good victory against Maxine Dupris via a roll up, so 26 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.000 maybe there are some plans for her in the future 27 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.799 as well. What we did see with Maxine Dupris was 28 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.439 that she was accompanied by Natalia, so it seems as 29 00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.760 though that tag team is still going on there. And 30 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.599 again Maxine Depris continues to get pretty decent pops on 31 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.520 main event as well, so definitely looking to get her 32 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:12.680 inexperience in ring experience upper notch with these these main 33 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.759 event programmings and hopefully again as mentioned, that can be 34 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:21.599 translated onto potential Raw or SmackDown as well. Uh, these 35 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.759 two could be gunning for the title in the future. 36 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.199 I think there's something there with these two where we've 37 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.240 got a veteran in the Talia and a young and 38 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.599 upcoming star in Maxine Duprix who hasn't really showcased her 39 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.560 in ring ability, but has the fans behind her. I 40 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.039 think that a loss here doesn't really hurt her too 41 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:42.080 much because of the fact that it is on main 42 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.000 event and it was a roll up victory. But again, 43 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.879 seeing those two potentially fight for the tag team championships 44 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.919 would be something I would like to see, especially given 45 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.159 that there is going to be no competition for Live 46 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.800 Morgan and Rica Rodriguez. But just thinking about it now, 47 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.240 if Morgan is filming for a movie, so I don't 48 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:06.000 know what they're going to be doing with the titles, 49 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.560 I feel as though they should relinquish them. I don't 50 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.479 know how long Live Morgan's going to take. Maybe it's 51 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.199 just one or two weeks, but if it's anything longer 52 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:18.199 than a month, Jade Cargill had to almost relinquish the 53 00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.800 title because of her injury until Naomi stepped in, so 54 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.360 it might have to be the same thing for those 55 00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.039 two as well. But we'll keep tabs on it. There's 56 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.919 definitely a potential face tag team there for them to verse, 57 00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.439 so we'll keep that in the loop as well. We 58 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.280 then get onto the second match on main event, and 59 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.800 that was Ludwig Kaiser taking on Tyler Bait. I know 60 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.240 Pete Dunn in appearance. It does seem that Pete Dune 61 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.360 was originally a heel before Tyler Bates appearance and the 62 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.800 new Catch Republic all of a sudden seems to come 63 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.360 back to normal again. I want to see Pete Dun 64 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.000 turning on Tyler Bait. I think it will make the 65 00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.439 program interesting for both of them. It's just very hard 66 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.639 for them to get a spot on Raw at the moment, 67 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:03.199 given that it's only two hours and a half and 68 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.240 there's so much going on. And as for Kaiser, this 69 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.639 is his third straight match on main event. He ends 70 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.800 up getting the victory here with a sort of elbow submission, 71 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.279 and there was a segment that was cut out on 72 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.720 Raw where he basically was saying that he's tired of 73 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:24.000 being overlooked and not getting opportunities. So I'm really hoping 74 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.399 that Kayser does get an opportunity to kind of get 75 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.000 back on Raw as well. He's clearly good enough to 76 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.560 be there in ring abilities have been excellent, his performances 77 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:37.560 as a heel. He's very dislikable the way his character is, 78 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.360 so that's something that's a good plus and I think 79 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.600 that should be showcased on Raw as well. I think 80 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:44.600 he was a workhouse last year. As I mentioned in 81 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.959 previous episodes, he did very well for the company, was 82 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.920 always there, I never missed a beat, and I feel 83 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.959 like he deserves to go to the next step again. 84 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.040 As mentioned, maybe something with Gunfa would be the right 85 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.000 time for now, especially seeing that gu has sort of 86 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.680 gone down a bit, especially getting tapped out to Jusso 87 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.959 and versus Pat McAfee, which we'll get to at the end. 88 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.439 Kaiser can definitely kind of use that as a way 89 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.279 to say that Gunther's changed or has has gone soft, 90 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.600 and that way have a feud between the two of them. 91 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.279 But these are just some ideas that I'm having based 92 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.680 on what they're doing. On main event as well, Kais 93 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:23.720 is not doing anything at the moment. The one thing 94 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.879 that would be significant for him is that. And then 95 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.040 on the contrary, Tyler Bate has been back for a 96 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.279 month now and they probably haven't done anything for him. 97 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:32.519 It would be good for him and Pete done to 98 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.399 maybe have a program there too. I do love to 99 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.319 see the spin move of Tyler Bate when he is 100 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:42.480 picking up his opponents and going on a bit of 101 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.680 a merry go around there. That was awesome to see, 102 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.600 and it's funny that he ends up using technically an 103 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:49.600 AA but they're not going to say that. But finishing 104 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.199 off with that, if John Cena was to do that, 105 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.759 that would ultimately win him a lot of matches, and 106 00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.079 like it's talent in the past, but I just thought 107 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.920 I'd put my two cents in on that. We then 108 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.759 get the segment on Raw. As mentioned at the start 109 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.839 of the episode, because this didn't happen at Backlash, there 110 00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.439 is no match for the World Heavyweight Championship on Backlash, 111 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.160 we're able to cover this. We had the main event 112 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:17.639 between Seth Rowlins and Juso, which on the program it 113 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.160 doesn't show, but basically at the start of Raw, Seth 114 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:25.199 Rolins basically baits Juso to defend the title for the 115 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:29.199 main event, which Juso does accept, and as the match 116 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:33.040 went on, I didn't see how these two would be 117 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.120 able to lose, given that Seth Rolins had just begun 118 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.160 this fanctioned and j Uso just begun his title run. 119 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.279 So there was definitely going to be somewhat of a 120 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:49.360 disturbance or a disqualification for this match, and that did 121 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:54.639 happen with c and Punk entering the ring there towards 122 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.759 the end, which was good. We did have Bron Breaker 123 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.959 then attack everyone. Oh this happened before. Sorry, So Sammizin 124 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.879 did come out actually before that to try and help 125 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:08.160 Jayusu out given that there was a two on one 126 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:12.439 disadvantage with from Breaker trying to distract the referees and 127 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.399 jay Us to get seth Rollins the title. Samisein did 128 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:17.920 come in and then seeing Punk came in and pretty 129 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:24.240 much disqualified seth Rolins and allowing jay Us to keep 130 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:27.360 the title, which is probably the right decision. Obviously, there's 131 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.000 going to be a program. We've see him Punk and 132 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:34.519 supposedly Sami Zain probably filling in the role for Roman Rains, 133 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.920 who's right absent at the moment and is obviously part time. 134 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.279 So there might be a program with the four of 135 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.240 these guys and we'll have to see what happens there. 136 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:48.399 As for jay Us, he gets protected here, which was 137 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:50.560 really good. I'm sort of glad that they didn't just 138 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.639 hand the championship straight to seth Rolins. We know that's 139 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.560 probably gonna happen eventually, but it would have been extremely 140 00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.480 surprising to see that happen so quick. So jay Us 141 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.319 will have the chance to defend the title against Logan Paul, 142 00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:06.319 who did end up coming out after the raw was 143 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:10.079 off air, throwing a punch to j Uso and then 144 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.079 kind of escaping backstage as well. So it did make 145 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.360 sense that they were setting up this program before this 146 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:18.839 match for the match to go as a finish, as 147 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:23.120 a no disqualification or as a disqualification. Sorry and Jays 148 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:27.120 are keeping his title and Seth Rolins focusing on this 149 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:30.639 new faction and the feud between himself and seem Punk 150 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:35.120 and now Samise, so lots to cover there. Hopefully the 151 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.039 next few weeks kind of spices things up there. I 152 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.039 don't really want to see a ply match between Seth 153 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.200 Rolins and bron Breaker. We've seem Punk or Samysey yet. 154 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:48.879 I don't think it's necessary for main event. I think 155 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.480 they can kind of get that started for Money in 156 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.320 the Bank and look out for bron Breaker there. He 157 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.080 is the favorite based on I do. I look at 158 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.360 a lot of sports betting and it looks like bron 159 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.279 Breaker is the face. Whether you believe that or not. 160 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:03.879 But look out for bron breakout Money in the Bank 161 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.559 because he was a big favorite, and another big favorite 162 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.159 is Carrying Cross, who won't talk about because he wasn't 163 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.360 featured here, but carrying Cross to win the money in 164 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.799 the bank would be the ultimate push move and the 165 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:19.600 right move for for WWE going forward in my opinion 166 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:25.120 as well. But speaking agoing Prle's we did have Backlash 167 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:27.799 and all the results from there. So the first match 168 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:33.919 which was the fatal for between Jakfatu, Drew McIntyre, Damian 169 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.840 Priest and La Night where we had Jeff Cobb's debut 170 00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:41.679 coming out there, which was a big surprise to everyone. 171 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:44.480 No one really expected Jeff Cobb to come out. I 172 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:46.600 know he's done a lot of things for New Japan 173 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.200 Wrestling and he's out of contract, so he's going to 174 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:54.120 be someone really interesting to add into this bloodline feud here. 175 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.399 So how they do that not too sure, But obviously 176 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.639 Solo Sokoa needs some reinforce and has picked up Jeff Cobb, 177 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.039 and there might be them aligning together or along the 178 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:09.840 line when it eventually happens Solo and Fatu are getting 179 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.559 their program, and how Jeff Cobb gets involved in this 180 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:16.240 will be the ultimate question there. When I first think 181 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.039 of Jeff Cob coming into the ring, I'm finding that 182 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.240 the perfect opponent for him when he returns would be 183 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.679 big Bronson Reid seeing them to go at it would 184 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.639 be something spectacular, so we'll see how it goes. I 185 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.240 know he's on the older side as well. This is 186 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.519 a good opportunity for him to showcase stuff and he 187 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:36.320 might be better than the Tongue and the Tongue and brothers. 188 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:41.200 So yeah, not the worst kind of debut. But again 189 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.759 we're waiting for that eventual Solo and Fatu feud and program, 190 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.200 which I think will resurrect Solo a bit. Now. He's 191 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.240 looking very inferior at the moment, but he does help 192 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.679 Fatu get the victory here to fatuus discussed, I feel 193 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.799 as though he wanted to win this without any distractions, 194 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.559 but nevertheless, Sol gets involved. The spot with Damien Priest 195 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.279 and Drew McIntyre was fantastic. It appears as though Drew 196 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.799 McIntire did sustain an injury from that spot, but again, 197 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.600 those two probably going to have one more match to 198 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:17.159 kind of settle their feud, which is great. And as 199 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.600 for La Night, he probably gets affected the most. He 200 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:23.320 did take the fall, and it doesn't seem as though 201 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:26.600 he is in contention or deserves contention for the United 202 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:30.159 States Championship, so maybe he might just get inserted into 203 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:34.159 the Money in the Bank match for repercussions, but we'll 204 00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.200 have to wait and see what happens with him. I 205 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.600 think they missed the gun on his momentum few years 206 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.360 back when he was fighting Roman Reigns. It seems as 207 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:44.840 though it's going to be really hard for him to 208 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:49.360 get back into championship kind of conversations, especially when it 209 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.320 comes to the World Heavyweight Championship or the WWE Championship. 210 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:55.399 He does have the pop and the crowd, but there's 211 00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:58.000 a lot of people that are much more over him 212 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.759 at the moment, and it's just a the superstar depth 213 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:03.720 is really high at the moment, and I think l 214 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:05.799 A Night is one of the victims of that, so 215 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.320 a bit of a shame. We then get a really 216 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:12.000 good match with Laara Valkira and Becky Lynch, and as mentioned, 217 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:16.200 Laara Valkuria has improved significantly and this feud has definitely 218 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.759 helped that. She gets a surprise roll up in victory 219 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:23.559 here defeating Becky Lynch, and their program is certainly not 220 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.919 over either. I sort of expected Bailey to come out 221 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.000 for some reason, but that didn't happen. A lot of 222 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.480 other superstars did come out, so obviously we probably would 223 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.600 have got sick of that. But again, Laura Valkia has 224 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:38.480 definitely arrived. She's definitely come out of her shell, as 225 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.960 Michael Cole has mentioned, and Becky Lynch has done a 226 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.080 really good job in this program to help allivate her. 227 00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:47.919 And yeah, it's very good that there's still some Hill 228 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:51.159 heat on Becky Lynch attacking her after the match as well, 229 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.320 So that program is definitely not over and I'm still 230 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:57.840 excited to see what will happen there. We then get 231 00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:01.639 the match between Domasteria and Pentre where we have an 232 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:07.399 interference from Americana. But before that we're seeing leaks in 233 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:10.879 Judgment Day with finn Bala basically getting caught in the 234 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:13.879 act attempting for some reason to get a steel chair, 235 00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:16.840 which delayed the time for them to attack Penta and 236 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.679 the ref to catch them out on the act. He then, however, 237 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.919 still comes back out and does distract the referee, So 238 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.879 like Solo Sokola, Finn Bala ends up still helping Dominique 239 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.039 Masteriro in winning the Intercontinental title, and again we're going 240 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:34.000 to be waiting for when they have their eventual feud 241 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:36.440 as well. We just don't know when that will happen, 242 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:40.320 but it looks like Penta and Algrando Americano are going 243 00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:42.120 to go at it, which is great to see, and 244 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:45.559 that was obviously teased on an episode on Raw as well, 245 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:51.600 so some interesting feuds for the future. Dominique Mysterio will 246 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:55.679 continue to obviously win like this, which is great, and 247 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:59.039 you can see that fans are really loving this. They 248 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:02.720 are starting to to really support Dom full faithfully now. 249 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.879 And I think he doesn't need to be transitioned like 250 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.200 Jacob Fattou. So both of them are in very similar 251 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:12.159 positions where they're both kills and they're getting love from 252 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.320 the crowd. I don't think their personalities and their characters 253 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.080 need to change. I think they can remain the same, 254 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:19.799 and the crowd if they want to love him, they 255 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:22.279 can choose to love him. Everyone's loving Dom because I 256 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:25.039 feel like he deserves it. The way he's acted, the 257 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:27.559 way his attitude is, and the way he's getting victories 258 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:30.279 is going to be so cool to see and all 259 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:34.759 the fans are going to love seeing Dominique Mysterio maintain 260 00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.639 the title in so many in so many different ways. 261 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:41.159 We then get the match between Pat McAfee and Gunthera, 262 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.200 and for me, I think this is just going to 263 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.000 be like a pretty much a Gunfer's year of like 264 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.360 legend killer runs. So first taking Pat McAfee down and 265 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.919 pretty much destroying him. It was great to see Michael 266 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:55.360 Cole sort of involved in the match at that point 267 00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:59.559 where he grabbed Gunpher's foot and held him down. I 268 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:01.960 really he thought that Pat McAfee was going to get 269 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:04.440 the victory and Michael Cole was going to get belted, 270 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.399 But I'm glad that didn't happen. Gunfer showed his dominance, 271 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.159 He showed that why he is really the ring general 272 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:13.799 and that he deserves to be up there with simply 273 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.039 the best as well. But I think what's next for 274 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.919 Gunfa is I think that match with Goldberg is going 275 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:20.639 to happen. Goldberg says he's going to have one more 276 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:23.159 match before he retires. I think that's going to be 277 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:26.600 the next thing for gun for there maybe in between 278 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:29.879 that a filler feud between him and Ludwig Kaiser. But 279 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.159 again he's yet to address what happened with j Usso, 280 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.840 which he did mention in that face to face where 281 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.279 with Pat McAfee as well. So there's a lot for 282 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:41.279 Gunsher here. Obviously, as Man mentioned, I wanted him to 283 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:44.559 win the title and can maintain that at WrestleMania. But 284 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:48.799 this sort of run killing like commentators and then now 285 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.279 eventually probably going to kill a legend in the ring 286 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:56.960 as Goldberg is something quite fascinating to watch, so we'll 287 00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:59.480 have to see what happens there. Gunsa will definitely be 288 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:02.159 back in getting titles in the future as well. I'm 289 00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:06.639 not concerned about that. But again, because I was thinking 290 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.960 about this for the last week as well, I think 291 00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.200 it will be good to see how Gunthera goes without 292 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.519 actually a title, and I think that is a good 293 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.720 way to really see if a superstar could still be 294 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:18.879 relevant or not. Obviously, Gunsher most of his career has 295 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:21.840 been a champion. It will be good to see how 296 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:26.440 he actually can be as a superstar without needing to 297 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.879 fight for a title. And I'm not saying that Gantha 298 00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.120 should not have titles on his BART think gunther should 299 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.840 be going for titles. But again, it's an art to 300 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:38.360 be a WWE superstar and create really good feuds and 301 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:42.519 be a really good character without having a title involved. 302 00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:44.440 And I think this is going to be I guess 303 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.559 the test for Gunsa and that might have been the 304 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.600 argument that Creative would have made for Gunthera to drop 305 00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.759 the belt. And yeah, we're still locking onto his character 306 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:55.799 and with fights like this, I don't think there's anything 307 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:58.440 wrong with it. I think that we obviously want Gunza 308 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.559 to win, which is what happened. But him like bullying 309 00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:05.440 people and taking down the man is pretty good. And 310 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:07.599 you could see that at the end he did show 311 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.079 respect for Pat McAfee, and that's probably the ultimate sign 312 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.079 of kind of how Guns's character is. If someone stands 313 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:16.200 up fights for him, he is going to respect them 314 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:20.160 in the end. Then we get the main event, which 315 00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:23.319 was John Cena taking on Randy Orton, and every time 316 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:25.200 these two get on the rings just a flush of 317 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.200 the past. And for me, I just remember as a 318 00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:32.440 kid hating Randy Orton and always supporting John Cena in 319 00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:35.759 these matches. I remember the Big I Quit match and 320 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:37.880 the Iron Man match back in two thousand and nine. 321 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:44.119 Also that Ladder match to determine the Unified Championships back 322 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.680 in like twenty eleven. I would say I don't even remember, 323 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:50.359 but always a good spectacle between these two are such 324 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:54.160 a historic rivalry so many things, but now in a 325 00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.440 completely different scope with John Cena being the heel and 326 00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.799 Randy Orden being the face. He comes out to such 327 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.720 a loud pop. I love that people seeing Randy Ordon's 328 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.640 song the loudest I did hear it was in when 329 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.279 Randy Order was in Spackdown, when s Backdown was in Bologna. 330 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.240 That was a crazy pop. But Saint Louis did a 331 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:16.839 really good job in giving Randy his well deserved pop 332 00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:19.839 on his song as well. John Cena comes into the ring. 333 00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.079 They went on for like twenty eight minutes, which was 334 00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:27.400 also awesome. And this was just a perfectly executed match, 335 00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:30.680 lots of finishes. Getting kicked out of the spot where 336 00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:33.920 John Cena went for an AA and then that turned 337 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.519 into an RKO, but the AA still had an impact 338 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:39.559 on Randy Orton was awesome. I don't think I've seen 339 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:43.319 that happen between the two of them, and correct me 340 00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:45.519 if I'm wrong if that spot has happened before. But 341 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.119 seeing that live was really cool. You could see that 342 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:51.119 Marc Cole was confused as to what happened. It very 343 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:55.759 much was an AA that executed, but as the AA happened, 344 00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:58.960 Randy Ordon hit the RKA as well, and then we 345 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.200 had all all the ring generals and kind of the 346 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.119 executives come into the ring after the referee got hit 347 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:09.759 with the belt as John Cena did a ref bump 348 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.240 as the match had a ref bump there, as we 349 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:17.720 all expected, Randy Orton crashing out and once again RK 350 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:19.720 and Nick Olders. So that's going to lead to something 351 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:22.640 for sure, because that's the third time that Nicoldis has 352 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:25.960 been RKO by Randy Orton, so definitely look out for that. 353 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:29.319 It's great that they were able to kind of show 354 00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:31.440 a future for Randy Orton because obviously John Cena is 355 00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:34.559 going to move on from this. And as Randyordan was 356 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:36.880 going to punt our truth, I mean not our truth, 357 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:38.720 so now I've just ruined it. But as he was 358 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:42.160 going to punt John Cena, after all this happened and 359 00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:44.519 Johnson was on the floor, ar truth did come out 360 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.920 to save his childhood hero, and that led to John 361 00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.440 Cena hitting a nut shot and hitting Randy Ordon with 362 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:55.279 the belt and getting the victory there, similar as to 363 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.279 how Cody Rhoades basically lost the belt. It's a great 364 00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:01.480 way for me. Really liked the old school kind of 365 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:04.839 way of John Cena hitting some with the belt and 366 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.599 winning the match as well. It does remind me back 367 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.920 into the nineties days where matches were determined like that, 368 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:13.680 when the belt was here, when the ref wasn't looking, 369 00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:15.640 and then the ref was banged up and you could 370 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.839 hear like a slow one two three count, which was awesome. 371 00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.920 John Cena maintains, we're not all surprised by this at all. 372 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:25.279 We knew that John Cena was going to keep the title, 373 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.960 and as it seems, that's going to be the last 374 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:32.400 match we'll see between those two. Very early and very premature, 375 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:35.920 but again such a good skeptical when these two fire, 376 00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:38.720 and very grateful to be able to witness that in 377 00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:42.519 my lifetime too. We then get after the match the 378 00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:47.079 press conference where John Cena puts ar Truth through a table, 379 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:51.200 which is quite underwhelming. Then it was. I know that 380 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:53.480 Trible Ah likes to put things like on the internet 381 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:55.680 and kind of reveal the heel term, but I would 382 00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:57.960 have loved to see Ar Truth get put through a 383 00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:01.839 table or at an AA in front of that hot crowd. 384 00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:03.880 It would have gave John Cena a lot more heat. 385 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:07.319 Everyone loves our Truth, but again We'll have to see 386 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:10.319 what happens on the next episode of spact On or 387 00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:13.160 one Johnson that appears next maybe on Raw to kind 388 00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:15.720 of address this. And it looks as though that Our 389 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.720 Truth is going to get an opportunity to fight John Cena. 390 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:21.640 So John Cena has put ar Truth in his plans 391 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:24.880 and most likely that's gonna look like it's gonna happen 392 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:28.359 at Saturday Night's main event, which will be pretty awesome 393 00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:32.240 to see, and I would love to see Truth fight 394 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:34.240 for that title. I think John Cena does need like 395 00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:38.319 a filler arc as well with Our Truth here. Obviously, 396 00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:40.119 we know that ar Truth is not going to win 397 00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:42.920 the title, but if it can be made to believe 398 00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:46.000 that he has a chance, the crowd would go crazy, 399 00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:48.799 and that's kind of what we want. Our Truth getting 400 00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.480 the significant storyline is also something awesome as well, so 401 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.839
