<v Speaker 1>an emergency podcast, the first of it's kind in HWP history.

18
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>We're just making all kinds of history here in the

19
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 1>fifth year of a hearty wrestling podcast. Y'all. Aj Lee

20
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>is back. Aj Lee is back. Aj Lee is back.

21
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.159
<v Speaker 1>There are no other words to describe what just happened.

22
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:32.959
<v Speaker 1>Aj Lee, the second longest reigning Devis Champion, the New

23
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 1>York Times best selling author, executive producer, comic book writer,

24
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 1>mental health advocate, color commentator for WOW Superheroes, and just

25
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>all around hero to many women, is back in WWE

26
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>after so long.

27
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>It feels like a fet sentence. So I'm not gonna

28
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.239
<v Speaker 2>lie like I was telling you off. Their put this

29
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.680
<v Speaker 2>literally on my list of things I never thought i'd see,

30
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Like even when there was rumors, I still had my doubts.

31
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, spen ten years, like could it really? But

32
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>then again, her husband was also gone for nearly ten years,

33
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:13.840
<v Speaker 2>so it only makes sense that she come back alongside him.

34
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 1>Ella, I am just speechless because it's just it's so funny,

35
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like the journey that we've been on

36
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>this entire year has been the universe, the ww universe

37
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>collectively willing her to come back. Yeah, all year, all year,

38
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>from the Royal Rumble on to even through Evolution, and

39
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 1>now at this point we've been willing for her to

40
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>come back, and even willing for her to come back

41
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 1>even before then. So the idea of her actually being

42
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>in front of our faces coming to the aid of

43
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>her beloved husband, one of her many crushes back in

44
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 1>the day during the Devas era in the twenty tens.

45
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Cmpunk is just absolutely out of this world. The speculation

46
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:06.759
<v Speaker 1>was heavy. Everybody was guessing that it was gonna be her,

47
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 1>all the leanings into it. It was kind of obvious,

48
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>but then kind of not obvious. You had other people saying,

49
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, it could be real Ripley, Oh my god,

50
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>it could be Bailey. Oh my god, it could be

51
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.680
<v Speaker 1>this person. But throughout the day today it started to

52
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>become more and more apparent that it was going to

53
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:30.879
<v Speaker 1>be mss Mama's Miss Black Widow. So Ella, how have

54
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 1>you been feeling with all of the speculation and the

55
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>rumors and stuff Before we get into the nitty gritty, Yeah, you.

56
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Know, I was hoping it would be her, But in

57
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>the back of my mind, I'm like, I gotta be

58
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>realistic too. It's been a while, it's not guaranteed. I

59
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>also thought Bailey would have made perfect sense. Him and

60
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Punk or her and Punker friends in real life. They've

61
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>had a long time history. Bailey also has history with aj.

62
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 2>We saw that teased on Monday Night, Raw and Punk

63
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.879
<v Speaker 2>mentioned it. He could have called up real ripley uh.

64
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Some people were saying AJ Styles could have showed up

65
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 2>in a wig. There was a lot of alternate, alternative possibilities.

66
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>We didn't know if we were actually gonna get her.

67
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.159
<v Speaker 2>We thought that we'd at least get like it implied

68
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 2>that it to be her. But I'm so glad Hello, Ed,

69
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.399
<v Speaker 2>thank you Ed joining us. I'm so glad that it

70
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 2>actually was her because after they kept teasing that this

71
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 2>was gonna be like a monumental must watch, they needed

72
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 2>to deliver, and they needed to deliver AJ Lee and

73
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:31.920
<v Speaker 2>that's what they did.

74
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 1>I know, Like just even just the stuff about AJ

75
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Styles being in a wig, you know, that was so

76
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 1>hilarious for me because there's just you know, because it's

77
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 1>like when one AJ was gone, AJ Styles popped up

78
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 1>and became more promisent.

79
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 2>No, that's true.

80
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Now we have two aj that's true.

81
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 2>AJM left in twenty fifteen. AJ Styles shows up in

82
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 2>twenty sixty. You're absolutely right, mm hmm.

83
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And now we're hearing in the today of things

84
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.360
<v Speaker 1>and we have two AJ's and it is just the

85
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>most amazing moment, the most amazing thing that could have

86
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>happened at this point. First of all, let's just get

87
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>into how beautiful she looks.

88
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 2>She got the abs, like girl, we see I see you, girl,

89
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>like she missed so good.

90
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.279
<v Speaker 1>Miss Mama's has been in the gym. She's got the blutes,

91
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:31.519
<v Speaker 1>she's got the pecks, she has everything. And she came

92
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 1>skipping out here as an evolved version of herself because

93
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, back in the day, she would come out

94
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:41.439
<v Speaker 1>here with these bad boys. Okay, So she would come

95
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 1>out here with the Chucks, okay. And when I tell you,

96
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 1>when I tell you, she made me feel seen back

97
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>in the day because converse are my shoes, and then

98
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>they would go, they're me and my boyfriend's things. I

99
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.519
<v Speaker 1>kid you not. The night she came out with Dolph

100
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Ziggler when he cashed in his money in the bank's breakcase,

101
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.439
<v Speaker 1>she had on the pair of Chuck Taylor's that were

102
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Harley Quinn, theinged from the comic book that were red

103
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.639
<v Speaker 1>and purple and black. And I have those pairs of

104
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 1>shoes because that was the first pair of Congress my

105
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.439
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend ever bought for me in our relationship. And I

106
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>swear anytime she would come out in those Converse. I

107
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>would feel just so happy because I was just like,

108
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 1>there's a girl out there who loves Converse just as

109
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.199
<v Speaker 1>much as I do. But here's the thing. Tonight, she

110
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.319
<v Speaker 1>came out as an evolved version of herself wearing vans.

111
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Wearing vans, and I hear the vans are very comfortable.

112
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I've actually never tried them on, but I've seen a

113
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.959
<v Speaker 1>couple of designs that are really really cute.

114
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can't attest to that. I'm not much of

115
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:51.600
<v Speaker 2>a sneaker person personally, but it's a little bit of

116
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:54.279
<v Speaker 2>a tweak. I wonder if the details gonna like mean anything,

117
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, Like you said, though it shows that she's evolved,

118
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.360
<v Speaker 2>she's not the same. Also, I love just the way

119
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.160
<v Speaker 2>that Punk is looking at her, like he is so proud,

120
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.120
<v Speaker 2>he's so in love with her, like fans the next

121
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 2>step up from Converse. I'm not a sneaker person, but

122
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.279
<v Speaker 2>I believe you, but Punk, the way that he's looking

123
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.600
<v Speaker 2>at her is we never really got to see it

124
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:19.040
<v Speaker 2>on screen, like we now we're actually like going to

125
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:23.079
<v Speaker 2>get to see They teased it, but we need to

126
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>wait to get that kiss. I guess, I guess.

127
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, the romance okay, because oh my god,

128
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm a romantic girly. So I'm such a romantic girly

129
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.800
<v Speaker 1>because it's like, and then even thinking about that in

130
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>terms of evolving, like back in the day when we

131
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.000
<v Speaker 1>saw them, you know together, we're not really together, but

132
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>just kind of like with that fun flirtation thing that

133
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.079
<v Speaker 1>she had going on with him, Like they weren't a

134
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.839
<v Speaker 1>couple at that point, Like when you really think about it,

135
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>they were not even a couple at that point.

136
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:53.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was a year before they came official behind

137
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:54.879
<v Speaker 2>the scenes really yeah.

138
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And so now you know, we're seeing them and

139
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>we know that they will relationship is very much real.

140
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>And he's looking at her as if he's just so

141
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.160
<v Speaker 1>proud of her, like like he truly like that is

142
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 1>really his true true love. And I think and that

143
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.639
<v Speaker 1>is just the stuff that I just can't get enough of.

144
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm just so happy because we're getting to see

145
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.639
<v Speaker 1>them as an actual couple and it's just so beautiful.

146
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.399
<v Speaker 1>He's just looking at her like like that's his everything.

147
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:30.399
<v Speaker 1>And I love seeing men like that seem punk, you know,

148
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:34.200
<v Speaker 1>for all the craziness you know that has followed his career,

149
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>he is a very emotionally you know, secure man, and

150
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I just love seeing him, you know, be show up

151
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>as this great example of masculinity where it's not so

152
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.960
<v Speaker 1>where it's not toxic at all. And this is him

153
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>sharing the spotlight with his lady love, who is just

154
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.679
<v Speaker 1>as accomplished as he is, and it's just so beautiful.

155
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>And the way she's sat on these ropes, she is perch. Funny,

156
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I know she is perched.

157
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Also, maybe it's just because we never heard the whole thing?

158
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.399
<v Speaker 2>Did they the second chorus of her theme song? Was

159
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 2>that new or did we just never get to hear

160
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.240
<v Speaker 2>the full thing when she was like in her prime?

161
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:17.399
<v Speaker 1>That's we never heard the whole thing.

162
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.559
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's what I thought, because the entrances would be

163
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 2>like so short. So that makes sense because like there

164
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.919
<v Speaker 2>was the whole like second chorus I'd never heard before.

165
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.519
<v Speaker 2>And I've been watching since O nine, so I saw

166
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:29.919
<v Speaker 2>all of a. J Lee and w W.

167
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.279
<v Speaker 1>I had never heard like that second part of her

168
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:32.840
<v Speaker 1>theme song.

169
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah I don't hear you.

170
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I didn't hear it until I actually went on

171
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.879
<v Speaker 1>Apple Music and listened to it myself today and I

172
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>was just like, yeah, like there's a second verse to it,

173
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.840
<v Speaker 1>So they played the whole thing all the way out

174
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and she was skipping and everything. And then another beautiful

175
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:49.840
<v Speaker 1>part was the fact that her in laws were, you know,

176
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>in the audience. Like because Cumpunk may reference to his sisters, they.

177
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Used to jump to jump because the way my.

178
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Sister shout out to Jackie would have jumped over immediately

179
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:04.320
<v Speaker 1>and security would have had to have been like call down. Yeah,

180
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 1>like that. That was amazing And it's just I just

181
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:12.039
<v Speaker 1>can't even I'm just so happy that I can't even

182
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.759
<v Speaker 1>put it into words. NBS on Twitter is watching us,

183
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:16.799
<v Speaker 1>thank you. He's saying, hey, stuff, came to see your

184
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>reaction to AJ returning. Thank you for watching on Twitter.

185
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:23.879
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's just an amazing deal. But of course,

186
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:27.639
<v Speaker 1>as we you know, bask in the glow of this

187
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:31.759
<v Speaker 1>amazing return, we do have to go back to a

188
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>form of the beginning when it comes to miss AJ

189
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.440
<v Speaker 1>because mss Mama's in the last few years since Cumpunk

190
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>has made his return, ironically in the All State Arena

191
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:46.559
<v Speaker 1>where they were the place, we were there. We were

192
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:49.759
<v Speaker 1>there on that cold Chicago night. It was a wonderful

193
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 1>night at that war games over the past few years

194
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:58.559
<v Speaker 1>since he's been back, he's been talking about AJ and

195
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Larry and of course in this rise of ww in

196
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:06.519
<v Speaker 1>its current form, in this new era, there are probably

197
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>newer fans who probably don't know that AJ is more

198
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.879
<v Speaker 1>than just you know, a girl on Cmpunk's bracelet that

199
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.840
<v Speaker 1>he was fighting over with Drew McIntyre. And you know,

200
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>there are probably a lot of people who don't even

201
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:21.639
<v Speaker 1>who are just now being exposed to her for the

202
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:26.559
<v Speaker 1>very first time. So allow us to take you on

203
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a journey of a history lesson

204
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:34.480
<v Speaker 1>for ms Mama's. So this of course started this past

205
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:38.559
<v Speaker 1>weekend with clash in Paris. We had Cmpunk in a

206
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>fatal four way against j Uso seth Rolins in La

207
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Knight for the World Heavyweight Championship, and of course Seth

208
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Rollins has been you know, running around with his Vision

209
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:54.279
<v Speaker 1>Faction and vowing to spitefully keep cmpunk from ever becoming

210
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>World heavyweight champion again, cashing in on him at Summer Slam,

211
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, just faking an injury. And at Atlanta we're

212
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.480
<v Speaker 1>here again. We both were that weekend for evolution and

213
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:08.320
<v Speaker 1>stuff and just going on this whole tirade to keep

214
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:11.759
<v Speaker 1>seam Punk away from the gold Right. And so just

215
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:15.559
<v Speaker 1>when it looked like cmpunk could have had Seth rawlins,

216
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:19.600
<v Speaker 1>even though this is Jay Uso right here, dead to rights,

217
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Becky Lynch comes out, joins the Vision, hits him in

218
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>his private part and screws him over, yes, yeah, screws

219
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>him over for Seth to retain. And then they're all

220
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:36.600
<v Speaker 1>slavering over each other like you know, obnoxious couple too,

221
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:41.759
<v Speaker 1>and you know they're just yeah, look at us, like

222
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm a part of the Vision now, blase blah, and

223
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, of course on Monday night Raw she gets

224
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>into it in Paris, she gets into it with cmpunk

225
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:59.679
<v Speaker 1>because Sampunk she did with her head and I was like,

226
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:04.960
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing? This was a very funny Monday afternoon,

227
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.679
<v Speaker 1>It really was. And it's just like she gets to

228
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:09.919
<v Speaker 1>see on Punk's face when he's asking for Seth. And

229
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.279
<v Speaker 1>here again Punk being you know, a model man, saying, look,

230
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>this has nothing to do with you, This is none

231
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.879
<v Speaker 1>of your business. I want your coward of a husband,

232
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.039
<v Speaker 1>you know. And because he's hiding behind the Vision, he's

233
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:25.399
<v Speaker 1>hiding behind you, you know. And what's so funny is

234
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:28.200
<v Speaker 1>he even calls seth Rolins a bum and saying that

235
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:32.720
<v Speaker 1>she had bad taste of me, and yeah, which is hilarious,

236
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:36.320
<v Speaker 1>and Loki speaks to something that I feel about something

237
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.480
<v Speaker 1>she put in her book about him, but we're not

238
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:42.320
<v Speaker 1>going to discuss that right now. But either way, she

239
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:45.360
<v Speaker 1>slapped him and he was just like, look, you're gonna

240
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.960
<v Speaker 1>regret ever doing that. And because Paris, thank god for

241
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 1>raucous international crowds, because they kept chanting aj Lee's name,

242
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.559
<v Speaker 1>and because they kept mentioning aj Lee even on the

243
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:04.440
<v Speaker 1>post show. This sent everybody into overdrives, everybody into speculation overdrive,

244
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>rumor overdrive, all the things, and everybody was just freaking out.

245
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.440
<v Speaker 1>And so cum Punk goes backstage and he talks to

246
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Adam Pierce, who has to be the most stressed out,

247
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:19.600
<v Speaker 1>sassiest general manager in the history of life, and he says, look,

248
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.039
<v Speaker 1>is this back down gonna be in Chicago? And he's like, yeah, home,

249
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>sweet home, why and he said that's perfect And then

250
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:29.480
<v Speaker 1>this this sense is even more into you know, speculation overdrive.

251
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.440
<v Speaker 1>So ella, how did you feel about the correlation of

252
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>all these events leading to where we are now?

253
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, once Becky Low blowed uh CM Punk and then

254
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:44.399
<v Speaker 2>revealed herself kind of clicked for a lot of people

255
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:50.159
<v Speaker 2>were like, wait a minute's gonna even the odds for

256
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:56.120
<v Speaker 2>CM Punk now, uh, you know Imoji and then Punk

257
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:59.399
<v Speaker 2>obviously on Monday was like, you're gonna regret putting her

258
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:03.080
<v Speaker 2>hands on so and also we had seen him before

259
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.600
<v Speaker 2>before this even happened. We saw Punk and Riha Ripley backstage,

260
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.639
<v Speaker 2>and Ria offered to offer Punk help if he needed it,

261
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:13.799
<v Speaker 2>So we saw there's maybe a tease it could have

262
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.639
<v Speaker 2>been Ria Ripley obviously, like we mentioned, Bailey has a

263
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.840
<v Speaker 2>history with Punk, so like those were plausible options, but

264
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.840
<v Speaker 2>like aj Lee like makes the most sense and would

265
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.960
<v Speaker 2>have been the biggest, really the biggest asset to this

266
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.440
<v Speaker 2>whole storyline. And so we're like, is it actually gonna

267
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:32.600
<v Speaker 2>be aj because you know, we've been let down before.

268
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:36.000
<v Speaker 2>But obviously the day after this the reports came out

269
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.840
<v Speaker 2>that yes, it is indeed a j Lee. Even then,

270
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.200
<v Speaker 2>in the back of my mind, I was like, I'm

271
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.679
<v Speaker 2>so jaded. I'm like, wwe is gonna swerve us get

272
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:45.799
<v Speaker 2>our hopes up for something and then it's not gonna

273
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:50.360
<v Speaker 2>be her, But then it actually was her. Aj has

274
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.000
<v Speaker 2>not wrestled in like ten and a half years. She

275
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.320
<v Speaker 2>wrestled last retrosent in March twenty fifteen, so it's been

276
00:15:58.360 --> 00:15:59.159
<v Speaker 2>a long time.

277
00:15:59.440 --> 00:15:59.639
<v Speaker 1>You know.

278
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:03.679
<v Speaker 2>She stayed fit though she did some scenes for Heels.

279
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:05.519
<v Speaker 2>We saw her if you watch that, she did the

280
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Black Widow to Punk. They were wrestling the ring in

281
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.240
<v Speaker 2>a scene. But it's been ten years since we've seen

282
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.440
<v Speaker 2>her in a WWE ring like period, so I'm excited

283
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.960
<v Speaker 2>to see I think a tag match is perfect for

284
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.240
<v Speaker 2>her because then even if she is a little rusty,

285
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:24.000
<v Speaker 2>even if she is, I don't think people are gonna

286
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.120
<v Speaker 2>care that much. She's such a big character and she

287
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.519
<v Speaker 2>was a heavy draw, especially during the diva's era for

288
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:32.120
<v Speaker 2>those who aren't a were she was one of the

289
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:36.279
<v Speaker 2>most popular merch sellers at the time, like way before

290
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.000
<v Speaker 2>all the horse women and all of that, Like she

291
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:43.840
<v Speaker 2>was like the top diva, like driving sales. So I

292
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:45.679
<v Speaker 2>think even if she's a little bit rusty, I don't

293
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.360
<v Speaker 2>think it's gonna matter that much. She's with Punk, people

294
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.080
<v Speaker 2>are gonna cheer. It's gonna be an awesome moment obviously,

295
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:55.480
<v Speaker 2>like it. Hope it leads to like a singles match somehow,

296
00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.120
<v Speaker 2>But for now. I am more than happy to see

297
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:01.639
<v Speaker 2>a mixed tag because that's also another rare thing in

298
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:03.799
<v Speaker 2>w We don't get a lot of mixed tags nowa dates,

299
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:06.599
<v Speaker 2>so I'm excited for that one. Yeah.

300
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Ed actually brought it up in the comments, you know,

301
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:11.400
<v Speaker 1>he said, if a j Lee has five opponents for

302
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.839
<v Speaker 1>this run, excluding Becky in this mixed max challenge, who

303
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:18.480
<v Speaker 1>would you want for me? It's Bailey, rox Sand, Stephanie, Ria,

304
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:21.039
<v Speaker 1>and EO. That's really good. That's murder.

305
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Bailey and Roxanne like are like those are like shoe wins,

306
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.920
<v Speaker 2>like absolutely because Roxane is literally AJ's not literally but

307
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:35.559
<v Speaker 2>she is AJ's daughter, and then Baibie's obviously good friends

308
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:39.920
<v Speaker 2>with Aj. Ria would be super fun. I like Nicki

309
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Bella is right there. I would love to see them

310
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.400
<v Speaker 2>run it back. Oh yeah, Aj and Nicki fought over

311
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.839
<v Speaker 2>the devas title for a while. I see it means

312
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:51.920
<v Speaker 2>since we're talking about returns, like can Paige come back

313
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:53.799
<v Speaker 2>to Ohaea?

314
00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:59.359
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people also thought that the rich could

315
00:17:59.359 --> 00:17:59.880
<v Speaker 1>have been heard.

316
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I wouldn't know. That's my girl, Page is my girl? Yeah,

317
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.119
<v Speaker 2>So like Bribella, where are you at now?

318
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Right?

319
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:15.279
<v Speaker 2>There's so many crazy returns this year, but I think

320
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:17.359
<v Speaker 2>Bailey and Roxanne would have to be shoe ins for

321
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.599
<v Speaker 2>like to working together in some facet, assuming that it's

322
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:22.319
<v Speaker 2>kind of a longer run.

323
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.480
<v Speaker 1>For a j Yeah, it's really nuts just when you

324
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:28.920
<v Speaker 1>sit and think about her contributions to things because for

325
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:32.319
<v Speaker 1>a long long time, because of the nature because she

326
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:35.839
<v Speaker 1>herself retired, and then of course due to the nature

327
00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:40.599
<v Speaker 1>of which the m punk left and her retiring due

328
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:43.720
<v Speaker 1>to her injury and stuff, there was a lot of Yeah,

329
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:48.400
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of her foundation in the Divas

330
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:53.440
<v Speaker 1>division leading into the women's evolution that was not mentioned

331
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:55.880
<v Speaker 1>and was not given credit for. And I am so

332
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.799
<v Speaker 1>so glad that at this point, you know, there's an

333
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:02.039
<v Speaker 1>acknowledgment of that because during this point and I and

334
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:03.759
<v Speaker 1>I talked about it a little bit in my past

335
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:08.640
<v Speaker 1>episode that I did on her Divas Invitational WrestleMania match

336
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:10.559
<v Speaker 1>in the past, if you'll go back and listen to that,

337
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:15.880
<v Speaker 1>where she advocated for more time, more money for the women.

338
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:20.079
<v Speaker 1>At that time, she advocated, you know, just for better

339
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.759
<v Speaker 1>treatment for the women, because you know, at that time

340
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:26.319
<v Speaker 1>it seemed as if WW was putting on Divas matches

341
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:29.839
<v Speaker 1>just for almost the sole purpose of taping for Total Divas.

342
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.599
<v Speaker 1>No shade to that reality show because it exposed a

343
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:35.240
<v Speaker 1>completely new audience to wrestling, and I will never throciate

344
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:38.000
<v Speaker 1>at it, but it seemed like there wasn't a lot

345
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:40.519
<v Speaker 1>of emphasis or importance placed on the women at that

346
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:44.759
<v Speaker 1>point in time, and she was really one of the ones,

347
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.079
<v Speaker 1>you know who was like, look, I am a wrestler,

348
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, let me wrestle. Let me wrestle these women,

349
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:55.160
<v Speaker 1>these women are talented, you know, proved me wrong, challenged

350
00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.480
<v Speaker 1>me for this title, and that's exactly what she did

351
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:00.920
<v Speaker 1>with that title, reign as the one of the longest

352
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:05.039
<v Speaker 1>reigning Divas champions. Like that's really what she did. And

353
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:07.759
<v Speaker 1>even though a lot of people feel like her pipe

354
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.160
<v Speaker 1>bombshell doesn't really particularly age as well due to you know,

355
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.039
<v Speaker 1>people's feelings about Total Divas and the evolution of all

356
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:20.480
<v Speaker 1>of those women on screen that we have seen, that

357
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:23.000
<v Speaker 1>was a really big moment where she was just like, look,

358
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:28.039
<v Speaker 1>this is about wrestling, Like, come to me and fight me,

359
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:32.039
<v Speaker 1>because this is what I'm here for. And I'm glad

360
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:36.000
<v Speaker 1>that now you know, there's a level of credit that

361
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:39.400
<v Speaker 1>she can now get. She can finally fully get her

362
00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:42.599
<v Speaker 1>Flowers and I'm just so thrilled about that. And I

363
00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:46.039
<v Speaker 1>want to see her fight everybody. I want to see

364
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:48.799
<v Speaker 1>her fight everybody. But I definitely, you know, love the

365
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:51.240
<v Speaker 1>list that Ed brought up, all the people you brought up.

366
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:55.839
<v Speaker 1>I wish Live Morgan was healed. I wish Naomi.

367
00:20:55.920 --> 00:21:04.319
<v Speaker 2>I just literally, like two weeks before aj Lee returns Naomi,

368
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:10.079
<v Speaker 2>who was her competitor on NXT season three, I think

369
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:14.519
<v Speaker 2>it was it is pregnant, and it's like the timing

370
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:18.720
<v Speaker 2>could not be worse and she was champed too, like girl,

371
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:21.079
<v Speaker 2>like obviously we're happy for her, but like.

372
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:25.839
<v Speaker 1>The timing, what could have been right? Literally, and then

373
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:28.079
<v Speaker 1>you have the caginess of live you know, and how

374
00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:31.200
<v Speaker 1>that would have worked out, like that would have been amazing.

375
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:33.359
<v Speaker 1>But here's the thing, though, there are so many other

376
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:35.240
<v Speaker 1>women she could tell stories, which she could tell a

377
00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:38.000
<v Speaker 1>story with Elena Vega if you wanted to, Oh yeah,

378
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.440
<v Speaker 1>who played her, you know in the Soraya biopic. So

379
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's just so many ways I can go

380
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:46.559
<v Speaker 1>with it. I mean, so many women she could fight

381
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:48.400
<v Speaker 1>her and Chelsea Green could have a thing.

382
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, oh my god.

383
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:55.240
<v Speaker 1>There's just so much that can happen, and you know,

384
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:58.880
<v Speaker 1>it's just really great. I'm just so thrilled about it.

385
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:02.559
<v Speaker 1>But of course we do have to keep going into

386
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:05.480
<v Speaker 1>her more of her history right about now. So the

387
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:08.839
<v Speaker 1>first time, of course, she had an indie career before

388
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:12.839
<v Speaker 1>she got to you know, NXC and WWE. The first

389
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:16.000
<v Speaker 1>time I saw her, I wasn't watching NXC the game show.

390
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.599
<v Speaker 1>I was in college, so you know, there was a

391
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:22.519
<v Speaker 1>limit to certain things I did and didn't watch. But

392
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.079
<v Speaker 1>the first time I saw her it was when she

393
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:30.759
<v Speaker 1>was in the tag team with Caitlin Chickbusters. Yeah, they

394
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:34.480
<v Speaker 1>were the Chickbusters, and they would always put them in

395
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:38.240
<v Speaker 1>a match against Natalia. You know, any combination of a

396
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:40.759
<v Speaker 1>match between Natalia and Beth Phoenix. They would always put

397
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:42.960
<v Speaker 1>them both in it, and they would always and the

398
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Demons of Doom would always wind up beating them somehow,

399
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.079
<v Speaker 1>and I would low key just pray for the day

400
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:50.440
<v Speaker 1>they would actually defeat them, because they would just they

401
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:52.759
<v Speaker 1>would fight them so much and lose so many times.

402
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I was like, bro, like, when are they really going

403
00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:56.119
<v Speaker 1>to like fight them and get a chance.

404
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.920
<v Speaker 2>There was you might be aware of this. I just

405
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:02.079
<v Speaker 2>thought of it. They bwe did film a thing on

406
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:06.039
<v Speaker 2>the SmackDown of Caitlin turning on AJ and joining the

407
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:09.440
<v Speaker 2>divas a doom, but they never aired it. Oh wow,

408
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:13.400
<v Speaker 2>so Jalan's heel turn. Never they would have split them up,

409
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:16.119
<v Speaker 2>but they never. They never aired it, so then they

410
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:17.559
<v Speaker 2>just continued teaming together.

411
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:20.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but I feel like that was perfect though,

412
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:24.240
<v Speaker 1>because their friendship, yeah, is one of I feel like

413
00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:27.279
<v Speaker 1>it's one of the more underrated tag teams and underrated

414
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:30.559
<v Speaker 1>female friendships when it comes to, you know, women, the

415
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:34.680
<v Speaker 1>women's division, because seeing them both together and both be

416
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:38.039
<v Speaker 1>goofy and nerdy together and stuff, it's I feel like

417
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:42.640
<v Speaker 1>they're sort of like the predecessors to Saul Ruka and Czaria.

418
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can see that. You know, Caitlyn's got the muscle.

419
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I was a big Caitlin girl, like after like my

420
00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:53.759
<v Speaker 2>like Kelly Kelly's and Mickey James's left WW like Caitlin

421
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:57.920
<v Speaker 2>and like Paige were like my people. I enjoyed their

422
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:00.920
<v Speaker 2>dynamic but also like their few It was really good,

423
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:04.839
<v Speaker 2>like over the Deep Championship and then they had speaking

424
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:08.359
<v Speaker 2>of mixed tags at Summer Slam, Biggie and AJ against

425
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Dolf and Caitlin. That was another underrated moment. They were

426
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:15.119
<v Speaker 2>great as tag team partners and opponents. I really enjoyed it.

427
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I really did enjoy them. I enjoyed them feuding

428
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:23.279
<v Speaker 1>against each other, even though it broke my heart because

429
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:25.759
<v Speaker 1>I just don't like it when friends break up. But

430
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:28.759
<v Speaker 1>the way in which they broke up too, it was

431
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:31.880
<v Speaker 1>just like bruh. Like, of course, AJ was just crashing

432
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:35.359
<v Speaker 1>out over all everybody, Yeah, crashing out over all the

433
00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:38.359
<v Speaker 1>crushes that she had, and Caitlyn was chasing the title

434
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:42.599
<v Speaker 1>and AJ was mad about that, so she basically perpetrated

435
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:46.799
<v Speaker 1>a whole secret admirer thing, Oh my god, yes to

436
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:49.960
<v Speaker 1>be the secret admirer and then dump her before it

437
00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:53.720
<v Speaker 1>even began. And then she just trash her and just

438
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:56.920
<v Speaker 1>called her all kinds of horrible names. It was just nuts,

439
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:01.720
<v Speaker 1>that's right. Yeah, oh my god. It was a crazy story.

440
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:05.599
<v Speaker 1>And just seeing them fight, you know, over the title,

441
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:08.960
<v Speaker 1>that was like the first time I actually that was

442
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the first time I had seen anyone really cry over

443
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:13.839
<v Speaker 1>the Devas Championship. When Aj one it, I was just like,

444
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:16.599
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, because winning a women's title, which was

445
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:21.359
<v Speaker 1>very important for her, But even with that, I have

446
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.559
<v Speaker 1>to mention with her crashing out over so many guys.

447
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:29.079
<v Speaker 1>She was in an on screen relationship with Brian Danielson

448
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:32.960
<v Speaker 1>of course back then known as Daniel Bryan. Yes, and

449
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:35.400
<v Speaker 1>they were cute for a minute, but he was just

450
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:37.960
<v Speaker 1>mistreating her a lot of the time. And then he

451
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.559
<v Speaker 1>definitely like sent it into overdrive after he lost his

452
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:49.839
<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania Matthews. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then after you know,

453
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:53.039
<v Speaker 1>she was trying to go after c I'm punk ironically, yes,

454
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.400
<v Speaker 1>going after Kin. You know, they found they were back

455
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 1>their way back to each other and they had a

456
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:04.720
<v Speaker 1>wedding at Raw one thousand and yeah. Ella, this was

457
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:06.920
<v Speaker 1>very special to me because this is where me and

458
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:11.440
<v Speaker 1>my boyfriend come into play. Okay, So Raw one thousand

459
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:14.720
<v Speaker 1>took place in July of twenty twelve, and he and

460
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I were bonding online because we had met each other prior,

461
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:23.119
<v Speaker 1>but we were bonding online over wrestling, and they were

462
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.039
<v Speaker 1>and WW was building up to the one thousandth episode

463
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:30.519
<v Speaker 1>of Raw, and he had the ungodliest crush on AJ.

464
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:34.920
<v Speaker 1>He really did when we first started talking, and I

465
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:37.200
<v Speaker 1>was just like, you know, and I liked AJ. But

466
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:40.680
<v Speaker 1>then at that point because I was because I was

467
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:42.680
<v Speaker 1>developing feelings for him, I was just like, why do

468
00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:43.720
<v Speaker 1>you have a crush on her?

469
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:45.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

470
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was just really nuts. It was really nuts,

471
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:49.519
<v Speaker 1>and we can laugh about it now because it's been

472
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:52.960
<v Speaker 1>thirteen years, but at the same time, you know, back

473
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.160
<v Speaker 1>then everything was fresh and he was just hoping to

474
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:59.400
<v Speaker 1>God that she wouldn't go through with marrying him, and

475
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I said, well, you never know, you know, I told him, ww,

476
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:05.119
<v Speaker 1>weddings don't usually go as planned, and this one didn't

477
00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:07.240
<v Speaker 1>because she became general manager after.

478
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I think my favorite run of hers was the general

479
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:18.359
<v Speaker 2>manager run. Also, like the John John Cena like that

480
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:21.160
<v Speaker 2>was like they were together for like five six weeks.

481
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:24.960
<v Speaker 2>That was a whole scandal because she got fired because

482
00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:29.680
<v Speaker 2>she was fraternizing with John Cena. I remember that storyline

483
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:31.880
<v Speaker 2>that was that was scandalous at the time, and then

484
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:35.640
<v Speaker 2>she ended up turning on him at TLC, then aligning

485
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:39.319
<v Speaker 2>with Dolph, making out with Dolph at the Slammies. Dolphin

486
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:44.000
<v Speaker 2>her Dolphin her were probably making Yes, I remember that

487
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:50.279
<v Speaker 2>she just walks away and they're like it was. That

488
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:53.720
<v Speaker 2>was probably the sloppiest makeout too that she had in

489
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:56.839
<v Speaker 2>her run with anybody was her and Dolph, But you

490
00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:59.640
<v Speaker 2>could tell that they were having a lot of fun.

491
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:05.680
<v Speaker 2>That was probably my favorite like storyline, romantic storyline. It

492
00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:07.319
<v Speaker 2>was when she was Dolph. They had a lot of

493
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:11.240
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of crazy segments, but it was a

494
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:11.799
<v Speaker 2>lot of fun.

495
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:15.960
<v Speaker 1>They were hilarious, and I'll never forget the time when

496
00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:19.119
<v Speaker 1>someone was trying to call her crazy and then Nick

497
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:22.720
<v Speaker 1>at Slash Dolph covered her ears and said your must babe,

498
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:25.279
<v Speaker 1>and then covered her ears and said she's not crazy,

499
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:27.559
<v Speaker 1>and then he and then she uncovered her and said

500
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:31.599
<v Speaker 1>she's passionate, you know, like their their relationship was hilarious.

501
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:33.839
<v Speaker 1>And I love the ways in which she would wear

502
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:36.119
<v Speaker 1>her boyfriend's T shirts like she would have them. She

503
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:42.480
<v Speaker 1>and here again showing those amazing apps with those jeans

504
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:45.079
<v Speaker 1>or with those shorts, and she just looked so good

505
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:47.960
<v Speaker 1>all the time, and I was just like, man, if

506
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:50.799
<v Speaker 1>I if I looked like her, I'd wear Yeah.

507
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.359
<v Speaker 2>That's also when she took that chop from Big Ee

508
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:59.200
<v Speaker 2>during the entrance and she she just no solid it

509
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:02.920
<v Speaker 2>like he was completely fine, Like I was crazy.

510
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:06.119
<v Speaker 1>I was so worried for her. I was so worried

511
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:07.640
<v Speaker 1>for her in that moment because I was just like

512
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:09.799
<v Speaker 1>because I remember watching it happen in real time, I

513
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:12.119
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, and then she just kept walking and

514
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:14.519
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh my god, Yeah, Oh my god,

515
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:18.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm fazed. Yeah, and Biggie was his muscle, Like, oh

516
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:21.000
<v Speaker 1>my god. Just the evolution of everybody involved in that

517
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:24.599
<v Speaker 1>is just absolutely nuts. But of course her and Dolph

518
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:28.519
<v Speaker 1>wound of not working out, but she started focusing on

519
00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:31.359
<v Speaker 1>herself and then to Mina Snuokle was her muscle. Yes,

520
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:35.359
<v Speaker 1>and she held on to this Devis Championship and for

521
00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:37.839
<v Speaker 1>all of the craft that you know, us wrestling fans

522
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.799
<v Speaker 1>talk about this championship, you know, I feel like she

523
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:44.880
<v Speaker 1>really made this not saying the other women didn't make

524
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:47.160
<v Speaker 1>it mean anything. You know, they did the very best

525
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:50.039
<v Speaker 1>naketure of what they were given. She really made this

526
00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:55.240
<v Speaker 1>title mean a lot, like a whole whole lot. And

527
00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:58.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, she's one of the main reasons why I'm

528
00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:02.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure you know, people take it to a degree,

529
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, take it seriously to a degree, because she

530
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:09.440
<v Speaker 1>defended it. She fought forward, like she took on every

531
00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:12.799
<v Speaker 1>woman in that roster and defeated them all for that title.

532
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:14.960
<v Speaker 1>And she held on to that record for as long

533
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:16.119
<v Speaker 1>as she could.

534
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Five days, Yeah, right.

535
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:21.559
<v Speaker 1>She two hundred and ninety five days is just was

536
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:24.480
<v Speaker 1>unheard of at that time for a women's title. So

537
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the idea that she did that and you know, had

538
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:30.839
<v Speaker 1>her own style and was just not afraid to be

539
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:34.720
<v Speaker 1>herself and wrestle, which is she was ahead of her

540
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:35.720
<v Speaker 1>time for real.

541
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:42.079
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely agree. And man, I remember she had some

542
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:45.359
<v Speaker 2>she had some great feuds there obviously with like Caitlin

543
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.079
<v Speaker 2>at that time, uh NAO. She had some really good

544
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:52.400
<v Speaker 2>matches with Naomi too. That was really after she broke

545
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:55.279
<v Speaker 2>out after that tag team match at SummerSlam, is when

546
00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:59.200
<v Speaker 2>she like really focused on like her singles wise, where

547
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.119
<v Speaker 2>she wasn't involved with like any of the like guys anymore. Really,

548
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:04.920
<v Speaker 2>so that's when we really got to see her, I

549
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:08.200
<v Speaker 2>feel like truly, you know, granted there was still obviously

550
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:11.160
<v Speaker 2>limitations at that time with like the divas and stuff

551
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:13.599
<v Speaker 2>like time constraints, but I feel like after that was

552
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:17.000
<v Speaker 2>when she like really got to shine like solo. And

553
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:20.319
<v Speaker 2>then for a while she did held the record for

554
00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:23.799
<v Speaker 2>the Divas Championship that obviously Nicki Bella overtook that in

555
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:28.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty fifteen. She had some great feuds with Page the

556
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:31.319
<v Speaker 2>following year they went back and forth with the title,

557
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:35.640
<v Speaker 2>and then obviously Nicki ended up beating Page and beating

558
00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:40.079
<v Speaker 2>AJ in late twenty fourteen, and then obviously that leads

559
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:45.920
<v Speaker 2>into Page and AJ aligning for against the Bela Twins

560
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:47.400
<v Speaker 2>at WrestleMania thirty one.

561
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was really insane because for a minute, it

562
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:55.759
<v Speaker 1>was almost like her and Sorea were just how potatoing

563
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:59.640
<v Speaker 1>that belt, and all of it came just because AJ

564
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:05.680
<v Speaker 1>was bragging about beating everybody at WrestleMania thirty only for Soirea,

565
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:09.039
<v Speaker 1>who was NX the first ever NXC women's champion at

566
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:11.480
<v Speaker 1>that time, to come and beat her in one night

567
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:14.680
<v Speaker 1>in her debut like that was absolutely nuts. And then

568
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:16.640
<v Speaker 1>at one point they tried to pretend they were friends,

569
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:19.359
<v Speaker 1>and then they weren't friends, and then AJ was gone

570
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:21.279
<v Speaker 1>for a minute and she came back and then beat

571
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:24.599
<v Speaker 1>her for the title again. It was just really really nuts,

572
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:28.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, and and for some people it could have been,

573
00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:31.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, discombobulating, but at the same time, that was

574
00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:33.599
<v Speaker 1>what wrestling was at that time, and you had to,

575
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:36.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, just enjoy it for what it was. And

576
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I actually had one of AJ's love Bites t shirts

577
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:42.759
<v Speaker 1>at one point, but I think I lost it, so

578
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:44.839
<v Speaker 1>I think now it's the perfect time to re up.

579
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:50.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious. I'm curious, you know what. I'm gonna look.

580
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes they have shirts right away. Sometimes I'm gonna look.

581
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:55.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm pretty sure they're gonna have it right away.

582
00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:58.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm more than sure the traffic for it is gonna be.

583
00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, it's gonna like they're gonna crashed wwe shop.

<v Speaker 1>Yes, I was hoping she was going to actually lock

595
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:36.039
<v Speaker 1>in the Black Widow on and got away.

596
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

597
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:40.519
<v Speaker 1>I was like, okay, okay, okay, okay, I guess they're

598
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:41.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna say.

599
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:43.799
<v Speaker 2>We can't have all the dessert on the first night.

600
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:46.799
<v Speaker 2>This was just a taste of hope we'll get the

601
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:48.279
<v Speaker 2>black widow probably in the match.

602
00:33:48.680 --> 00:33:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah if SmackDown was three hours, and maybe we would

603
00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:53.079
<v Speaker 1>have got it. Yeah, but I don't think we could

604
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:55.119
<v Speaker 1>have handled all of that in three hours like that.

605
00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:58.359
<v Speaker 1>That that need it, that deserved to be the very end.

606
00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:02.440
<v Speaker 1>It really did well. Ella. I do have a question though,

607
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:06.440
<v Speaker 1>since we were together for Evolution, would you have felt better?

608
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:09.119
<v Speaker 1>Would you do you feel like this return right here

609
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:12.880
<v Speaker 1>tonight was perfect for her or would you have liked

610
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:15.400
<v Speaker 1>her to have been involved in Evolution at some point?

611
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:20.719
<v Speaker 2>I think storyline wise, this is probably the best way

612
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:23.639
<v Speaker 2>for her to come back because she hasn't been in

613
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:26.400
<v Speaker 2>the ring in ten years, and I feel like, again

614
00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:30.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm just speculating, but a tag team match is probably

615
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:32.760
<v Speaker 2>easier to get through than a singles match where she's

616
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:36.360
<v Speaker 2>by herself and probably ring rust, So at least she

617
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:38.960
<v Speaker 2>might not have to be in the ring as much

618
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:42.039
<v Speaker 2>and Punk can take it. And Punk's been active whereas

619
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:45.159
<v Speaker 2>she hasn't for a decade, so I think physically for

620
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:48.280
<v Speaker 2>her this is probably the better option, and storyline wise

621
00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:51.320
<v Speaker 2>this is huge for her. You know, Becky Lynch and

622
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Seth Rollins are at the top of their games respectively.

623
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:54.639
<v Speaker 1>See them.

624
00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Punk is a top star still, and plus we've never

625
00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:02.639
<v Speaker 2>seen aj in Punk like okay, so they have tag

626
00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:06.000
<v Speaker 2>team together, but that was like during the phase where

627
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Punk was not actually into her. You know, they're actually

628
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:12.880
<v Speaker 2>together now, So I think storyline wise, this is probably

629
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.079
<v Speaker 2>the most perfect way to do it. What I have

630
00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:21.000
<v Speaker 2>loved to see her at evolution. Absolutely, I feel like

631
00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:24.400
<v Speaker 2>we should have had more of the Legends in like

632
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:29.199
<v Speaker 2>actually competing instead of just sitting around the ring, But

633
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:31.519
<v Speaker 2>that's the whole other sidebar. I think this is perfect

634
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:34.559
<v Speaker 2>what I've loved to see your evolution, Yes, absolutely, but

635
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:39.159
<v Speaker 2>storyline wise it's a you got top stars and physically

636
00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:41.519
<v Speaker 2>I have to imagine this is probably the easiest match

637
00:35:41.559 --> 00:35:44.639
<v Speaker 2>and safest match for her to do, especially considering she

638
00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:46.360
<v Speaker 2>has a wrestle in like ten years.

639
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree, I absolutely agree. The Legends being an

640
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:55.760
<v Speaker 1>evolution was fantastic, and there was levels to me, in

641
00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:57.960
<v Speaker 1>a selfish sort of way that they kind of wonder

642
00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:01.920
<v Speaker 1>what would have what would it have been like to

643
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:04.599
<v Speaker 1>see some of those legends back in the ring or whatnot,

644
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:06.760
<v Speaker 1>But of course we don't know, you know, what their

645
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:10.239
<v Speaker 1>situations were body wise and all of the above, but

646
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:12.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, and honestly, Evolution was still one of the

647
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.159
<v Speaker 1>best shows, if not the best show of the whole year.

648
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:19.760
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I'm not complaining about anything at all

649
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:22.679
<v Speaker 1>because my heart is still full from that show and

650
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:26.480
<v Speaker 1>it's been two months. Heart's still full from it. Never

651
00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:30.679
<v Speaker 1>over it, never will be over it. I can't, I

652
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:33.159
<v Speaker 1>literally can't. I'm pretty sure I'll go to therapy and

653
00:36:33.159 --> 00:36:39.079
<v Speaker 1>still can't get over. But yeah, ah, of course, as

654
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:43.280
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned her tag team match with Page at Wreussellmania

655
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:46.679
<v Speaker 1>thirty one, they did have a match the night after,

656
00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and that turned out to be her final WW match.

657
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:56.360
<v Speaker 1>She retired because she did have issues neck issues and

658
00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:59.199
<v Speaker 1>injuries that were sort of nagging, but she still tried

659
00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:01.119
<v Speaker 1>to push through it. And then, of course you had

660
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:04.960
<v Speaker 1>the nature of the way that Cino on Punk's relationship

661
00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:08.360
<v Speaker 1>with WW ended back then, and her just feeling like

662
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:11.679
<v Speaker 1>she was fulfilled in terms of her wrestling career, having

663
00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:14.599
<v Speaker 1>done everything she wanted to do at that point, which

664
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:17.519
<v Speaker 1>is crazy to think about because she left at that point,

665
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:21.320
<v Speaker 1>but then right afterward, right afterward, you had like the

666
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:25.159
<v Speaker 1>women's evolution that happened, and if she had not have

667
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:28.199
<v Speaker 1>decided to retire, it could be argued that she probably

668
00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:30.280
<v Speaker 1>would have benefited from that as well.

669
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, she retired also at twenty eight. She's only thirty

670
00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:39.480
<v Speaker 2>eight now, so like she could I mean, I don't

671
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:41.960
<v Speaker 2>know if she intends this to be like a long

672
00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:44.880
<v Speaker 2>term thing, but I would think realistically, like she could

673
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.039
<v Speaker 2>still physically go. You know, I don't know how her

674
00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:49.960
<v Speaker 2>neck is, and obviously she's cleared to compete, so it's

675
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:52.320
<v Speaker 2>better than it was ten years ago. But like, she's

676
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:56.280
<v Speaker 2>thirty eight, like Punk her Punk is almost a decade older,

677
00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:59.719
<v Speaker 2>and he's still going. So let's go. We want like

678
00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:02.639
<v Speaker 2>an extended run. I feel like there's a lot of also,

679
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:06.920
<v Speaker 2>like Lyra Valkyria is somebody who was also an aj girl,

680
00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Like she has her old tweets about aj Lee still

681
00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:12.239
<v Speaker 2>up there, one of them, which by the way, was

682
00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:16.519
<v Speaker 2>a photo of Roxanne meeting aj But Lyra tweeted about

683
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:19.440
<v Speaker 2>like talk about full circle things. Give me a triple

684
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:21.039
<v Speaker 2>threat with rock san Lyra and.

685
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Aj right absolutely nuts, like these women, like she is

686
00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:29.159
<v Speaker 1>now in a women's division full of women who were

687
00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:30.280
<v Speaker 1>inspired by her.

688
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which is crazy.

689
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:35.480
<v Speaker 1>That is beautiful. That is one of the most poetic

690
00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and most beautiful things that I love about the fact

691
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:41.719
<v Speaker 1>of her being back because with her getting her flowers,

692
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:45.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, for her contributions to women's wrestling, she gets

693
00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:47.800
<v Speaker 1>to be in a locker room full of women who

694
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:52.920
<v Speaker 1>watched her like that's incredible. That is just absolutely incredible.

695
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:55.039
<v Speaker 1>That's the stuff that we love to see. It's inspirational.

696
00:38:55.800 --> 00:38:58.840
<v Speaker 1>And so in the midst of her being gone, she

697
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:04.880
<v Speaker 1>wasn't gone from our site completely because what with her

698
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:08.920
<v Speaker 1>also being a mental health advocate, because she discussed what

699
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:13.039
<v Speaker 1>her mental health issues were. She wrote an autobiography called

700
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Crazy is My Superpower, which you may have heard Michael

701
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Cole make reference to brilliantly on commentary tonight. She wrote

702
00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:23.679
<v Speaker 1>a book about her whole life, and if you have

703
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:26.039
<v Speaker 1>not read it, I do recommend it. It is a great read.

704
00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:29.199
<v Speaker 1>I bought it and read it and it was really good.

705
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:31.320
<v Speaker 1>And actually I might read it again. I'm not sure

706
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:33.239
<v Speaker 1>if I have enough time. I don't think I do,

707
00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:37.679
<v Speaker 1>but either way, it's a great book. It was a

708
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:41.800
<v Speaker 1>New York Times bestseller. She tells the story of how

709
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:43.960
<v Speaker 1>she got started with wrestling and just some of the

710
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:47.679
<v Speaker 1>things that she struggled with in during her time growing

711
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:50.679
<v Speaker 1>up in New Jersey. With her family, and what she

712
00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:54.440
<v Speaker 1>had to sacrifice in order to become you know, a wrestler,

713
00:39:54.519 --> 00:39:56.559
<v Speaker 1>and what she had to you know, fight through in

714
00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:59.880
<v Speaker 1>w W in a WW that just was not prepared

715
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:05.159
<v Speaker 1>to see women as full fully realized characters, and how

716
00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:08.280
<v Speaker 1>she still fought to be you know, the most authentic

717
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:11.440
<v Speaker 1>version of herself. Like, it is such a good story.

718
00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:16.039
<v Speaker 1>I do recommend reading it, Ella. I think at one

719
00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:19.079
<v Speaker 1>point we did talk about this book and of you

720
00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:21.039
<v Speaker 1>reading it, I.

721
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Admittedly have not. You have I have not. No, it's

722
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:28.159
<v Speaker 2>all aole, but I've only heard good things about it.

723
00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:31.480
<v Speaker 2>I went to school, like for psychology before like wrestling

724
00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:36.039
<v Speaker 2>even became a thing. I've only heard good things about it. Like,

725
00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:38.920
<v Speaker 2>she is very open. I believe she had bipolar disorder.

726
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:41.400
<v Speaker 2>She is very like open and transparent about that, which

727
00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:45.519
<v Speaker 2>I think is awesome. So and she's been able to

728
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:48.000
<v Speaker 2>embrace that. I think that's also another reason why a

729
00:40:48.039 --> 00:40:50.079
<v Speaker 2>lot of people look up to her as her candor.

730
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:53.079
<v Speaker 2>She's not afraid to be vulnerable and tell her story,

731
00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:55.679
<v Speaker 2>which I feel like a lot of people And again

732
00:40:55.719 --> 00:40:57.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know her whole story, but I feel like

733
00:40:57.320 --> 00:40:59.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people, you know, some of the stuff

734
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:01.599
<v Speaker 2>that I know that. I just the little stuff that

735
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I do know of, Like, I don't think a lot

736
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:05.360
<v Speaker 2>of people would have had the strength to really overcome

737
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:09.480
<v Speaker 2>that and then go on to have a successful career. Also,

738
00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:11.840
<v Speaker 2>like dealing with that while you're at the height of

739
00:41:11.880 --> 00:41:13.760
<v Speaker 2>your career at the same time. You know, I don't

740
00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:16.280
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of people would have been able to

741
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:18.840
<v Speaker 2>survive or really endure that. But she did, and she

742
00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:22.440
<v Speaker 2>came out of it, and she obviously continued to give

743
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:25.320
<v Speaker 2>back even while she was away because you mentioned Wow.

744
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:29.400
<v Speaker 2>She later became a producer for women A Wrestling But

745
00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:32.639
<v Speaker 2>I know that is your like cherished projects, so I

746
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:35.880
<v Speaker 2>will get I will let you talk about that endeavor.

747
00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And then also just talking about her career as

748
00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:42.880
<v Speaker 1>a writer, she has not only written her autobiography, she's

749
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:46.400
<v Speaker 1>also worked on multiple comics books, one of them being Glow,

750
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:49.639
<v Speaker 1>which leads into the Wow thing, and then also just So.

751
00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:53.039
<v Speaker 1>And she's also like screenplayed or written for different TV

752
00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:57.400
<v Speaker 1>shows that has a production company too from what I understand. Yeah, yeah,

753
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:00.880
<v Speaker 1>so mss Mama's has a pan and that's really cool.

754
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I love that for her. And of course she has

755
00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:07.679
<v Speaker 1>also acted in various commercials and you know, she gets

756
00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:09.840
<v Speaker 1>her acting on like you mentioned with Heels that was

757
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:12.840
<v Speaker 1>once on Stars, which people are still you know, begging

758
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:14.320
<v Speaker 1>for it to come back because of how good of

759
00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:17.639
<v Speaker 1>a show it was. It's on Netflix now, but still

760
00:42:17.719 --> 00:42:21.039
<v Speaker 1>like she was still out here, you know, front facing

761
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:23.159
<v Speaker 1>in public, you know at times. And then of course

762
00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:25.559
<v Speaker 1>she would pop up at comic cons because she was

763
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:27.599
<v Speaker 1>such a comic book fan, which was something that she

764
00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:31.519
<v Speaker 1>also had no problem representing on WW television as well.

765
00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Like she called herself a geek goddess, like she was

766
00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:39.480
<v Speaker 1>always you know, into video games and stuff like that,

767
00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:42.400
<v Speaker 1>and that made her cool to men and women all

768
00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:45.239
<v Speaker 1>over the planet because at that time, of course, women

769
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:48.480
<v Speaker 1>in WW were mostly you know, sort of seen like

770
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:51.960
<v Speaker 1>like as these perfect gorgeous women, but you didn't really

771
00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:54.960
<v Speaker 1>hear much about what they were interested in. But she,

772
00:42:55.400 --> 00:42:57.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, let it be known from jump from her

773
00:42:57.599 --> 00:43:00.079
<v Speaker 1>NXC days all the way into her main roster day

774
00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:03.079
<v Speaker 1>that she was different. She was a Chuck Taylor wearer.

775
00:43:03.199 --> 00:43:06.320
<v Speaker 1>She was you know into comic books and such. So

776
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:13.280
<v Speaker 1>she represents a lot of different interest in a huge way.

777
00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:17.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's something that can be spoken about as well.

778
00:43:18.440 --> 00:43:21.719
<v Speaker 1>And in talking about that of course we move into Wow.

779
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:28.159
<v Speaker 1>This was special to me because there are gonna be

780
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:30.199
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people who are going to say that,

781
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:33.079
<v Speaker 1>of course she has not been involved in wrestling per

782
00:43:33.119 --> 00:43:36.760
<v Speaker 1>se in ring in like over ten years and stuff,

783
00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:40.079
<v Speaker 1>which is accurate, but I want the record to be

784
00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:45.400
<v Speaker 1>shown that she was involved in wrestling because, of course

785
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:49.320
<v Speaker 1>with the rebooted version of Women of Wrestling Wild Superheroes,

786
00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:52.760
<v Speaker 1>she was an executive producer for the rebooted for the

787
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:56.760
<v Speaker 1>first season of the rebooted version of the show, and

788
00:43:56.880 --> 00:44:01.880
<v Speaker 1>she was a color commentator alongside David McClain, owner and

789
00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:05.920
<v Speaker 1>creator of Wow, as well as Steven Dicky. She added

790
00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:09.760
<v Speaker 1>so much intelligence and so much of her sense of

791
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:14.400
<v Speaker 1>humor to the commentary desk that at times I would

792
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:17.280
<v Speaker 1>just find myself just wishing she was more involved with

793
00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the end ring stuff because there's just so much, so

794
00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:23.599
<v Speaker 1>many facets of her character that would pop up, pop

795
00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:25.760
<v Speaker 1>out on commentary that was just like, man, I miss

796
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:30.920
<v Speaker 1>you so much. We me and Katrina enjoyed covering her

797
00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:33.599
<v Speaker 1>elsewhere and on our own show, Stepan kat talk Wow

798
00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:36.559
<v Speaker 1>so much and we loved seeing her be a part

799
00:44:36.599 --> 00:44:41.639
<v Speaker 1>of things, you know with the show and supporting so

800
00:44:41.719 --> 00:44:44.960
<v Speaker 1>many other women who wrestle for the Indies and also

801
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:48.880
<v Speaker 1>wrestled for a Wow, like Jasmine Allure, you know who

802
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:51.880
<v Speaker 1>wrestled on Wow in the first season and a little

803
00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:53.920
<v Speaker 1>bit in the second season as well. She called her

804
00:44:53.960 --> 00:44:57.679
<v Speaker 1>her twin because they got to look alike. And just

805
00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:02.760
<v Speaker 1>seeing her, you know, take a hand in and embracing

806
00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:06.119
<v Speaker 1>these women on Wow, it was just really really healing.

807
00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:08.840
<v Speaker 1>That's why Loki broke my heart when she said that

808
00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:11.199
<v Speaker 1>she wasn't going to return at one point because her

809
00:45:11.360 --> 00:45:14.199
<v Speaker 1>contract was up, and I'm more than sure she had

810
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:16.679
<v Speaker 1>other things to do, but we do miss her on

811
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Wow all the time. And you know, she was involved

812
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:24.199
<v Speaker 1>in wrestling in that way in terms of her voice

813
00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and in terms of her input, but just not in ring.

814
00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:29.159
<v Speaker 1>And I just want the record to show that because

815
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:31.239
<v Speaker 1>there's going to be a lot of people who are

816
00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:34.039
<v Speaker 1>gonna mention it, who are going to mention her wrestling

817
00:45:34.079 --> 00:45:36.199
<v Speaker 1>career and be like, oh, well, she hasn't done this

818
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:38.519
<v Speaker 1>since this, and they might skip over the Wow thing,

819
00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:41.800
<v Speaker 1>and let's not skip over it. Let's stop skipping over

820
00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:46.920
<v Speaker 1>them because they matter like they always do. So yeah,

821
00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:50.679
<v Speaker 1>please watch Stephan Kat talk Wow to hear more about

822
00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:53.559
<v Speaker 1>our feelings about the show because it is still on.

823
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:56.000
<v Speaker 1>It's going into its fourth season, so let's just put

824
00:45:56.000 --> 00:45:59.840
<v Speaker 1>that out there. So we are going to continue our show,

825
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:02.679
<v Speaker 1>keep that going. But it was so great seeing AJ

826
00:46:02.760 --> 00:46:06.760
<v Speaker 1>be a part of this. It just felt right. It

827
00:46:06.920 --> 00:46:10.079
<v Speaker 1>just felt really right and really good. And we miss

828
00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:15.039
<v Speaker 1>her over there. But of course now you know that's Bailey.

829
00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:19.159
<v Speaker 1>Actually I'm sorry, but of course now she has made

830
00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:25.239
<v Speaker 1>her grand return to WWE, and there haven't been any

831
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:28.000
<v Speaker 1>announcements made as to I guess so far, I haven't

832
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:31.000
<v Speaker 1>looked on my phone or online or whatever to see

833
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:33.039
<v Speaker 1>any announcements that have been made about the match, but

834
00:46:33.079 --> 00:46:35.760
<v Speaker 1>it's it can be very much assumed that she will

835
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:39.079
<v Speaker 1>be in a mixed bag match with her hubby against

836
00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Seth and Becky. But selfishly, I want her to go

837
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:49.679
<v Speaker 1>after the Instal Championship. Like selfishly, that's what I want

838
00:46:49.800 --> 00:46:52.239
<v Speaker 1>because if her husband is going to go after the

839
00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:54.599
<v Speaker 1>world heavyweight, then I want AJ to hold some more

840
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:55.119
<v Speaker 1>gold too.

841
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:59.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, she possibly could have a singles match on

842
00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:05.360
<v Speaker 2>rob ahead of Wrestler Palooza potentially, Like this is just

843
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:09.239
<v Speaker 2>the beginning. I really hope that this is like goes

844
00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:14.599
<v Speaker 2>beyond Wrestler Palooza me too, because there's so much potential there, like,

845
00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:17.960
<v Speaker 2>so much potential matches obviously though, like I mean, we'll

846
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:19.840
<v Speaker 2>take what we can get, you know, at this point,

847
00:47:20.559 --> 00:47:23.159
<v Speaker 2>but there's so much potential for so much. I would

848
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:25.239
<v Speaker 2>love to see hear go after the women's Icy title,

849
00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:28.599
<v Speaker 2>because that wasn't even like a women's mid card title,

850
00:47:28.719 --> 00:47:32.239
<v Speaker 2>was not even like not even fathom mobile like a

851
00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:36.079
<v Speaker 2>decade ago. Like we were lucky after they unified the

852
00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Women's and the Devas Championship. We were lucky to have

853
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:41.039
<v Speaker 2>the one Divas Championship, bro, Like.

854
00:47:41.199 --> 00:47:46.119
<v Speaker 1>We were Like, people don't understand. Yeah, it's like for

855
00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:48.840
<v Speaker 1>all of the trouble, for all of the craziness that

856
00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:52.000
<v Speaker 1>we go through, for what we want, you know, for

857
00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, the booking of the US title and the

858
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:57.559
<v Speaker 1>Icy title, you know, and even the booking of the

859
00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Women's World title and the Women's Championship, it is a

860
00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:06.480
<v Speaker 1>miracle from the Lord himself. Well I'm a Christian, so

861
00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:09.760
<v Speaker 1>it's just like it's a miracle from the Lord himself

862
00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:12.599
<v Speaker 1>that we have multiple women's titles to talk about us. Yeah,

863
00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:15.679
<v Speaker 1>it really is, because once upon time it was just

864
00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:18.320
<v Speaker 1>that one title and that was it, And there was

865
00:48:18.360 --> 00:48:20.599
<v Speaker 1>one time where it was the Women's Championship and the

866
00:48:20.639 --> 00:48:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Devas Championship, and then they combined them, and then it

867
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:26.239
<v Speaker 1>times where you wouldn't even see the Divas title on

868
00:48:26.320 --> 00:48:29.440
<v Speaker 1>major pay per views, Like it's just it's a miracle

869
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:32.199
<v Speaker 1>that now we have all the titles that we do have,

870
00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:37.039
<v Speaker 1>and everybody is in a figuring out phase. Nothing's ever

871
00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:40.000
<v Speaker 1>truly perfect when it comes to wrestling, and even when

872
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:42.199
<v Speaker 1>it comes to women's wrestling. And I know how protective

873
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:44.280
<v Speaker 1>we can be because we want the very best for

874
00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:47.000
<v Speaker 1>all of the women, but we really have to sit

875
00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:49.280
<v Speaker 1>and just think about how far we've come and how

876
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:52.480
<v Speaker 1>grateful we are, and a lot of that has to

877
00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:56.599
<v Speaker 1>do with the contributions of AJ. So I am just

878
00:48:56.719 --> 00:48:58.960
<v Speaker 1>so thrilled that this is where we're at. I'm so

879
00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:03.079
<v Speaker 1>happy that she is back in WWE, sitting perched on

880
00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:08.880
<v Speaker 1>her throne next to her man. I'm never gonna get

881
00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:09.599
<v Speaker 1>over this image.

882
00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm just not like, just don't want to go after

883
00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:13.239
<v Speaker 2>me too.

884
00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I'm gonna watch it like crazy tomorrow morning.

885
00:49:16.079 --> 00:49:19.199
<v Speaker 2>Does it never feel like a fever dream? Like certain

886
00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:22.719
<v Speaker 2>things happen and like it doesn't feel real, Like I like,

887
00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:23.840
<v Speaker 2>it feels fake.

888
00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Like this feels like a dream. Yeah, liked, like did

889
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:30.280
<v Speaker 1>we dream it? Like? Are we gonna wake up the

890
00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:36.679
<v Speaker 1>next morning and it's not gonna be real? Yeah? It's real. Yeah,

891
00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:39.960
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, so we have reached the end of our
