Speaker 1: Listen is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre, and you're listening to
Speaker 1: the WWE podcast show.
Speaker 2: The one that everybody wants met for sixteen, So that
Speaker 2: just work your ass is mind. You're going to acknowledge
Speaker 2: me what.
Speaker 3: Is going on? Everybody, and welcome to yet another main
Speaker 3: event review. Thank you very much for tuning in once
Speaker 3: again to this week's episode of the Main Event Review.
Speaker 3: A week until Clash in Paris, so we'll be as
Speaker 3: normal previewing that. There's not really too many matches on
Speaker 3: the cards to preview, but we'll get into those a
Speaker 3: little later, and then obviously the two matches that have
Speaker 3: on main event as well. But before we get into
Speaker 3: all that, hope you guys are really enjoying the main
Speaker 3: event content at the moment, and in the plans to
Speaker 3: sort of set up my own wrestling show on my podcast,
Speaker 3: The Huddle Within, and we'll kind of give you guys
Speaker 3: some updates in the not too distant future on all
Speaker 3: that stuff as well. As Yeah, I find myself really
Speaker 3: enjoying these main event reviews and want to put it
Speaker 3: onto my sort of shows as well there. But before again,
Speaker 3: once I said at the start, getting into my main
Speaker 3: event reviews. I thought i'd mentioned that, and it's good
Speaker 3: news for myself that ww are coming to Melbourne. So
Speaker 3: they obviously have the Crown and Duwel the Raw and
Speaker 3: SmackDown on Perth, but they're doing a house show in Melbourne,
Speaker 3: so that's going to be on the fifteenth of October,
Speaker 3: so I think the day after Monday Night Raw Airs,
Speaker 3: so I'll most likely be going to that and trying
Speaker 3: to get my tickets tomorrow. Hopefully they're not too expensive.
Speaker 3: The reason I didn't go to Perth was that the
Speaker 3: flights were one thousand or six hundred dollars return in Australian,
Speaker 3: which is maybe about four hundred US return. Plus the
Speaker 3: tickets as well, which is basically the same price if
Speaker 3: not more, for all three shows and the hotel, you're
Speaker 3: looking at a total of around one thousand, six hundred AUD,
Speaker 3: which is about one thousand USD, which is too expensive
Speaker 3: for a trip interstate. Again, I'd rather travel to the
Speaker 3: United States with that similar price of around one thousand,
Speaker 3: six hundred Australian and go watch a WrestleMania or something.
Speaker 3: So just wasn't worth it for me unfortunately, and also
Speaker 3: I am running a marathon on the fourteenth of October anyway,
Speaker 3: so oh, I think it's the twelve of October. Yes,
Speaker 3: it's the twelve of October. So even if I was
Speaker 3: to have the time to go, I do have that marathon,
Speaker 3: so and would have maybe paid for eight if I
Speaker 3: was able to go through all three shows and not
Speaker 3: have the marathon, But the only way I would have
Speaker 3: been able to go was to seem undern raw and
Speaker 3: it's just not really worth it. So guess I'll be
Speaker 3: going to the house show if I do get tickets.
Speaker 3: I'm really excited for that. It looks as though that
Speaker 3: EO Sky, rear Ripley, j Usso Samuzain are all going
Speaker 3: to be there, so yeah it should be cool. But
Speaker 3: no John Cena unfortunately, so I won't be able to
Speaker 3: see John Cena on his retirement tour. But yeah, definitely
Speaker 3: going to be getting the the last time. He's now
Speaker 3: Australian merch for sure, so yeah, I'll be looking out
Speaker 3: for that. But I guess without anything else that we
Speaker 3: have to update, which I don't think there is at
Speaker 3: the moment, we shall just jump straight into it and
Speaker 3: the first match is with I think it's Alton Alton
Speaker 3: Prince or Kid Wilson actually, so Alton Prince is injured
Speaker 3: at the moment, hence why Kent Wilson has come out
Speaker 3: onto main event as a single star taking on Ray Phoenix.
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's been it's been pretty dead for pretty
Speaker 3: deadly funny, but obviously with Elton Prince not being there,
Speaker 3: Kid Wilson has an opportunity to try to showcase his
Speaker 3: single start on main event, and he looked pretty good.
Speaker 3: He was very aggressive, which is what I liked, and
Speaker 3: it was quite different sort of his playful, pretty deadly
Speaker 3: character that he does in that tag team. But it
Speaker 3: was also good to see him sort of exposed as
Speaker 3: a single star, and he had a really good match
Speaker 3: with Ray Phoenix, who I want to talk about more.
Speaker 3: He hasn't really done much since his comeback, Oh hasn't
Speaker 3: come back or since he made his debut into WWE.
Speaker 3: We had his loss at WrestleMania, which was a good
Speaker 3: moment for him, and he's sort of teaming up with
Speaker 3: and Dreiday. They had that SummerSlam match, but it looks
Speaker 3: as though that partnership hasn't continued or they haven't seen
Speaker 3: any time on backdown, so I'm not really really sure
Speaker 3: what they're doing with ray Phoenix or even Panther for
Speaker 3: that matter. They're obviously brothers and they don't seem to
Speaker 3: be doing too much on their shows. I think Penta's
Speaker 3: dealing with the New Day at this point, and they
Speaker 3: haven't done anything with ray Phoenix, so don't really know
Speaker 3: what's going on there with Ray Phoenix. He gets on
Speaker 3: main event, and I always mentioned this, when when you
Speaker 3: see a star like Ray Phoenix get the entrance music
Speaker 3: and sort of how he comes out to the ring
Speaker 3: and you hear the fans chant, it just shows that
Speaker 3: he doesn't pretty much. He pretty much doesn't belong on
Speaker 3: main event, and being there is just pretty much a filler.
Speaker 3: But again, it's good for me to sort of review
Speaker 3: it and basically say that ray Phoenix is in much
Speaker 3: need of a push and is much need of doing
Speaker 3: something more significant. I do sort of like the idea
Speaker 3: that him and Dryday teeing up, but it doesn't seem
Speaker 3: that and dry Day is getting any sort of heat
Speaker 3: or push with the WWE. So it feels as though
Speaker 3: that Ray Phoenix will be better off alone, or if
Speaker 3: not better, yet better with his brother Penta and they
Speaker 3: just form a very strong tag team. There were once
Speaker 3: heels back in the I think in the literal libre
Speaker 3: days or the underground days, so that would be cool
Speaker 3: to see. But other than that, it doesn't seem as
Speaker 3: though that they're doing anything with Ray Phoenix, which which
Speaker 3: is a shame because they have brought him in and
Speaker 3: here's someone that has a bit of support from the
Speaker 3: crowd and has had some pretty decent moments in WWE,
Speaker 3: but nothing to where anyone is remembering it, so hopefully
Speaker 3: that changes for him. We then get onto Raw where
Speaker 3: we have basically the Vision, which is the name of
Speaker 3: the new faction come out with basically Paul Hayman introducing
Speaker 3: everyone into the ring as he always does, and then
Speaker 3: we have Seth Rolins about to speak, and that's where
Speaker 3: Jay Us Show comes in interrupts the speech, basically says
Speaker 3: that everyone's tired of hearing from them. He calls Brondbreaker
Speaker 3: puppy dog, and that's where where Seth Rolins comes in
Speaker 3: and basically tries to just stir up ron Breaker, saying
Speaker 3: that Jay us So call his family fat and his
Speaker 3: family a bunch of super morons, and that's where Breaker
Speaker 3: gets held into the ring, just kind of a visual
Speaker 3: to sort of pull him back and hype up the
Speaker 3: fight towards the main event, and that's where Paul Hayman
Speaker 3: basically mentions that ECW Stadium was not down the road
Speaker 3: and that he's talking like this in Philadelphia, which leads
Speaker 3: to the Extreme Rules match. I did like the sort
Speaker 3: of Tommy Dreamer promo where he basically said that he
Speaker 3: should be dead and was surprised that he's not, and
Speaker 3: that was quite funny. But yeah, that was pretty much it.
Speaker 3: That basically set up the main event, which we'll go
Speaker 3: into later. We then had the match between Finn Bala
Speaker 3: or the Judgment Day and Dragonly and mister Guana. So
Speaker 3: it's called to see mister Iguana come in, especially when
Speaker 3: we see him from Triple Triple A. So I like
Speaker 3: the the cross the cross channel hill, sort of the crossways.
Speaker 3: I don't even know the word, but the crossover. I
Speaker 3: don't know how I missed that, but basically the crossover
Speaker 3: here between Literal Libre and w w uh. We have
Speaker 3: Dominicque Mysterira trying to interfere with the match, and before that,
Speaker 3: the Judgment Day getting the victory, which wasn't the main
Speaker 3: point here. The main point was to get King out
Speaker 3: and he comes into the ring looks to get the
Speaker 3: upper hand on the judgment day, but the numbers are
Speaker 3: outweighed and the judgment they end up looking strong. And
Speaker 3: this is obviously to hype up the match between and
Speaker 3: He Devi Hingo and Dominique Mysterira for the literally libera
Speaker 3: title at World's Collide, And forgot to mention it was
Speaker 3: Dominique that hit ol hear the Vikingo at the back
Speaker 3: with the title. That's sort of changed the momentum there
Speaker 3: and that's where the numbers kind of peeled up. But yeah,
Speaker 3: that's gonna that's gonna happen soon, and pretty excited for
Speaker 3: that given that trip there is getting more coverage and whatnot.
Speaker 3: But we do want Dominiue to defend his title, and
Speaker 3: it doesn't seem as though he's going to defend it
Speaker 3: at Clash in Paris, but I think that will change
Speaker 3: at Monday Night Rule. I think Adam Pearce will set
Speaker 3: up a match there, especially because AJ Styles has had
Speaker 3: a lot of pops in France, especially last year backlash,
Speaker 3: so I don't see them not putting a Jo Styles
Speaker 3: on the card here. So I think that they will happen.
Speaker 3: They'll have a match there. Maybe there'll be a bit
Speaker 3: of a stipulation, you'd like to think, especially given that
Speaker 3: they had a normal regular match at Summer Slams. So yeah,
Speaker 3: we'll have to wait and see on that one. But again,
Speaker 3: this was the setup World's Collide between Dominique Stiano Heihi
Speaker 3: or David Kingo, who I suspect that in a few
Speaker 3: years I won't be surprised when he joins the main
Speaker 3: roster because he's getting massive pushes from Triple OU and
Speaker 3: I think they're not fans of him, but I think
Speaker 3: wwe might the law to him. There you a note.
Speaker 3: We then have another promo with Naomi getting into the
Speaker 3: ring and basically announcing that she's pregnant, made some funny
Speaker 3: jokes about Jay us So enjoying too much Netflix and Chill,
Speaker 3: and also mentioning that the bloodline will continue, and I
Speaker 3: found that pretty funny. But essentially she came out to
Speaker 3: relinquish the title, got angry at Adam Pierce, which is
Speaker 3: quite funny as well, but basically said she'll be back
Speaker 3: in nine months and kind of off topic or not
Speaker 3: really off topic, kind of staying on topic, it was
Speaker 3: just amazing that Naomi was competing for the title of
Speaker 3: Cashed In and won the title while she was pregnant,
Speaker 3: and also defended the title at Summers them while she
Speaker 3: was pregnant as well, given that obviously it was early,
Speaker 3: but yeah, it wasn't aware of it. To me, it's
Speaker 3: just a shame that it happened now is terrible timing,
Speaker 3: but I guess when you're pregnant, you have to prioritize
Speaker 3: that and it's always going to be more important than
Speaker 3: a title, so that makes complete sense. But we were
Speaker 3: just getting used to Naomi and we're just getting kind
Speaker 3: of really engaged and close with her run as this
Speaker 3: heel and this proceeding with Cauncient, proceeding with Cautient gimmick
Speaker 3: that she was running, and I touched base on it
Speaker 3: last week. It's going to be a shame to see
Speaker 3: Naomi gone for nine months, but hopefully she can make
Speaker 3: your return and get those titles back, and I think
Speaker 3: that's something that should happen as soon as possible, and
Speaker 3: I hope she stays in this character because people are
Speaker 3: really loving it, including myself. So it's just a shame
Speaker 3: that she's lost the belt, but again, yeah, we'll have
Speaker 3: to see what happens there again. Stephanie Vicour was meant
Speaker 3: to defend this clush in Paris, but I think Raw
Speaker 3: will set up what happens there again. I suspect that
Speaker 3: they'll have a match there. If not, there'll be some
Speaker 3: sort of qualifier or something. We'll have to wait and
Speaker 3: see and we'll have to get excited for Raw when that.
Speaker 3: When that does happen as well. We then get the
Speaker 3: second match on main event with El gandem at A
Speaker 3: taking on Cruz del Toro and Grande gets the victory
Speaker 3: with the piece of metal headbart, which is always a
Speaker 3: great move. And I got to say, I was kind
Speaker 3: of weirded out that Kaiser was Algrando Americano and it
Speaker 3: was taking the reins from Chad Gable and it looks
Speaker 3: like Chad Gable walks, so Kaiser could run. Because he's
Speaker 3: doing an incredible job here. It does help that he's
Speaker 3: fluent in Spanish. I think it makes the character a
Speaker 3: lot better. It also helps that he managed to go
Speaker 3: onto Triple R and perform a few matches there, and
Speaker 3: it just showed that the Mexicans were really happy and
Speaker 3: sort of gravitated to Grando Americano really largely as well.
Speaker 3: And yeah, with that sort of Spanish language, it's just
Speaker 3: made Kais's gimmick as Algando Americano super exceed and far
Speaker 3: exceed whatever Chad Gable did or can do when coming back.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's going to be really interesting because obviously
Speaker 3: Chad Gable was the original person of this sort of
Speaker 3: gimmick and and now Kais has just taken it to
Speaker 3: another level and maybe we'll see these two take on
Speaker 3: each other for the battle of who will be al
Speaker 3: Grendelo Americano. But it feels like it's Kais's best work,
Speaker 3: which is which is crazy to say because he's been
Speaker 3: a solid member of Imperium, but he's doing a great
Speaker 3: job with this this role. So he's very hard to
Speaker 3: sort of think that Chad Gable can just seamlessly take
Speaker 3: over when he comes back, And yeah, Guando Americana the
Speaker 3: legend lives on, and he gets another victory here, he
Speaker 3: gets a lot of momentum and I think, yeah, people
Speaker 3: might be offended, but Mexicans are not offended by it,
Speaker 3: So how how can he not stop doing this? I
Speaker 3: think I think it's a great gimmick. I think it's
Speaker 3: something that you know, relieves the sort of seriousness from
Speaker 3: from what wwe can be with with some storylines, and yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see how Kaiser can continue to hone
Speaker 3: in on this on this role as well and on
Speaker 3: this character too, and and what will happen when when
Speaker 3: Gable gets back. But yeah, that pretty much wraps that match,
Speaker 3: and then we finish up and it's a quite quick
Speaker 3: main event with the main event on Raw with jay
Speaker 3: Uso taking on bron Breaker. There, we had Bronson Reid
Speaker 3: coming into the ring as j Usa was about to
Speaker 3: get the pin and victory, interfering the match, and that's
Speaker 3: where La Night came out and helped out Bronson Reid
Speaker 3: and we then had Steph Rolins come in and that's
Speaker 3: where Sam Punkton came into the ring and both of
Speaker 3: them obviously took the numbers game away. And while all
Speaker 3: this was happening, Jason and bron Breaker match was still occurring,
Speaker 3: we had j Usso splashing almost splashing bron Breaker onto
Speaker 3: the table didn't end up happening, and that's where Roman
Speaker 3: Reigns came out and basically speared bron Breaker and gave
Speaker 3: and gave a superman punch to Bronson Reid, and that's
Speaker 3: where bron I mean jus eventually hit bron Breaker with
Speaker 3: the splash on the table and got the victory there
Speaker 3: as well. So j Uso coming in strong. This was
Speaker 3: obviously expected because they got the match at Clash in
Speaker 3: Paris where Juso is going to be going for the
Speaker 3: WWE Championship there, so it does make a complete sense
Speaker 3: as to why j Usso won the match, And yeah,
Speaker 3: I guess that leads up to Clash in Paris, which
Speaker 3: will sort of talk about. Right now, we got the
Speaker 3: match between bron Breaker, I mean Bronson Reid and Roman
Speaker 3: Reigns bron Breakers not having a match at Clush in Paris,
Speaker 3: which is quite a surprise, but I think that's going
Speaker 3: to lead to the second part. And that's why I
Speaker 3: think Roman Rains will win the match because he's just
Speaker 3: taking on the first point, first level or first person
Speaker 3: essentially from the Vision faction, and that is obviously Bronson Reid,
Speaker 3: who unfortunately isn't the most over of the three, so
Speaker 3: he'll take the pin, he'll take the loss, and they'll
Speaker 3: lead to Remanmains eventually taking on bron break and then
Speaker 3: maybe Seth Rollins in the future there then we're gonna
Speaker 3: have the fatal four way, and obviously Seth Rowlans is
Speaker 3: going to win this one. I think Jay Lusha eats
Speaker 3: the pin here because the other two have got a
Speaker 3: lot of momentum and there are the two I'm saying
Speaker 3: Seampunk and and l A Knight, So yeah, I think
Speaker 3: this is a unanimous decision. I think this one's extremely obvious.
Speaker 3: I don't see Seth Rolins losing his title in a
Speaker 3: fatal four way, so yeah, I think that's that's what's
Speaker 3: going to happen there. And looking at the other matches
Speaker 3: we've got and I'm suspecting aj Styles taking on Domastereo.
Speaker 3: Maybe aj Styles gets the victory here. This one's hot call.
Speaker 3: But whoever wins this match, I think is going to
Speaker 3: end up versing John Cena And that's my hot take.
Speaker 3: So whoever it is, Johnsena said he wants to work
Speaker 3: with both of these guys, so yeah, I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: with Dom Masterio to keep the title just because he's
Speaker 3: the younger and more I guess over at the moment
Speaker 3: in terms of heal heat and heat to begin with
Speaker 3: so I think dom Mysterio keeps the title and that
Speaker 3: will lead to John Cena's a feud with John Cena.
Speaker 3: Like Johnsen has yet to win the Intercontinental, not saying
Speaker 3: he's gonna win it, but that's a good storyline for
Speaker 3: John Cena to get into, maybe after brock Lesna, but
Speaker 3: definitely before or definitely after the match that's coming up
Speaker 3: between Logan Paul and Johnson at Crush in Paris, where
Speaker 3: I see John Cena getting the victory here and that
Speaker 3: will lead to this new Wresseltopia ship name for it
Speaker 3: so for my language, but terrible name for a pl
Speaker 3: But obviously given that it's gonna be an ESPN debut,
Speaker 3: that's where I suspect that Johnson and brock Lesna will
Speaker 3: take each other on. But for now, this is going
Speaker 3: to be the filler match, and Johnson we'll get the
Speaker 3: victory here, I think clearly there to obviously get into
Speaker 3: the momentum of Brocoles now, so that's an easy one.
Speaker 3: And yeah, we've got the match between Seamus and and
Speaker 3: also Russev. So actually that's that's a pretty decent amount
Speaker 3: of matches, so it might just be those five. We
Speaker 3: might not even see it Intocontinental or the Women's Championship,
Speaker 3: the Women's World Championship, but again it could be you know,
Speaker 3: ah styles in Paris, as I said, in France has
Speaker 3: a lot of heat. But anyway, I circle back to
Speaker 3: Shamus taking on Russov, and I've got to give credit
Speaker 3: for these two for landing a match here on a PRL.
Speaker 3: It shows that they're they're doing great work on raw
Speaker 3: and their feud is pretty good. It's obviously not the
Speaker 3: biggest feud on the card, but again it's it's one
Speaker 3: where you can see tensions between the two. There's a
Speaker 3: lot of brawls and a lot of backstage fights, and
Speaker 3: and they've got a lot of history between each other
Speaker 3: as well, going back to the League of Nations and
Speaker 3: obviously having a few matches against each other too. So
Speaker 3: it's a perfect feud. And have done a really good
Speaker 3: job in hyping this up and building this up to
Speaker 3: get on a PrV, So that's extremely impressive. I think
Speaker 3: that Russev will get the victory here only because here's
Speaker 3: the new superstar. He's the one that's came back looking fresh,
Speaker 3: looking different. It's come with a motive and I think
Speaker 3: they're gonna they're gonna propel that and push him up further,
Speaker 3: and it's gonna be a close one. It's really hard
Speaker 3: to sort of see who's gonna win, but I think
Speaker 3: we're all expecting a banger hear. It doesn't really matter
Speaker 3: who wins that match. All that matters is that it's
Speaker 3: a good performance and we see two brutes just go
Speaker 3: at it and they'll be really exciting. But yeah, I
Speaker 3: think that pretty much concludes the matches of Clash in Paris. Again.
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on with the Women's World Championship,
Speaker 3: but now that Naomi's relinquished there, so we'll have to
Speaker 3: wait to see what happens there. Whether they defend that
Speaker 3: in Crushing Paris or that fight as men, I don't know,
Speaker 3: so I can't give a prediction there for that. The
Speaker 3: only thing I can probably say is that Stephanie Vecerria
Speaker 3: Ripley and the Sky will be involved somehow. But yeah,
Speaker 3: that's pretty much how I conclude Clash in Paris, and
Speaker 3: that's also how I'll conclude this week's episode of the
Speaker 3: Main Event review. So once again, thank you very much
Speaker 3: for for tuning in today into another episode Again, trying
Speaker 3: to in the plans to get the wrestling show on
Speaker 3: my podcast, The Huddle Within, which you guys can also

Speaker 3: that's soccer for you American listeners with a few Liverpool fans,
Speaker 3: and now I've got an Australian Rules one coming up
Speaker 3: this week, and next week I'm doing NFL. So obviously
Speaker 3: NFL is not in my reign of full knowledge, but
Speaker 3: I'm going to get a few of my American buddies
Speaker 3: to talk NFL preseason, which I'm extremely excited about because yeah,
Speaker 3: in the last sort of two three years, I've become
Speaker 3: a very big NFL fan, So we'd love to talk
Speaker 3: about that on my part as much as much as
Speaker 3: I can talk about sports, I would love to, and again,
Speaker 3: I do want to have a separate wrestling show because

Speaker 3: biggest passion and really want to just incorporate onto The
Speaker 3: Huddle Within. So again, if you're a general sports fan,
