<v Speaker 1>reviews and insight.

3
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.079
<v Speaker 2>The beautiful part of NXT is that when one dream ends,

4
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:18.320
<v Speaker 2>another dream begins.

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>So with that being said, we only have one question

7
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:35.679
<v Speaker 1>for you. Ah, we thought, so let's get the show

8
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 1>started right now.

9
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Hey, everybody, it's Jay. Welcome to your NXT review for

10
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 2>the week of Nice to the show of January seventh,

11
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:54.000
<v Speaker 2>otherwise known as New Year's Evil. I'm coming to you

12
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 2>tonight to talk about that event, because, let me tell you,

13
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 2>it was a heck of an event. It was the

14
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:05.439
<v Speaker 2>night after the Netflix Raw debut, which I could say

15
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.719
<v Speaker 2>so many things about that, but that's not my area

16
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 2>of expertise course as far as this podcast goes. But

17
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 2>the the uh raw debut was amazing. And I don't

18
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.120
<v Speaker 2>know if you've noticed, but they did carry some things

19
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:21.799
<v Speaker 2>over from one to the other, which I'm going to

20
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 2>talk about most important. Actually, i'll just talk about it now.

21
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>The first thing I can say that I mentioned that

22
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 2>they brought over was the use of drones in the arena.

23
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 2>So Money Nay Raw used drones a lot, which and

24
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 2>they were all four K drones and they looked the

25
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 2>picture on Raw was amazing. Part of it, it was

26
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.200
<v Speaker 2>because of the cameras, it's part of and obviously the

27
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:51.000
<v Speaker 2>other part is because on Netflix. And that's unfortunately one

28
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.519
<v Speaker 2>of the things that's going to be an issue with

29
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 2>SmackDown and an XT is they're not going to be

30
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 2>able to have the clarity of the Netflix unless you

31
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 2>happen to be outside of the United States. And I know,

32
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.239
<v Speaker 2>so if you are having a conversation with Dino during

33
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, and everybody's Dino from Scotland. He's in the

34
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Mailbag show every week, do you know. And I were

35
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:15.159
<v Speaker 2>having a conversation and a couple other people about how

36
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>for Monday Night Raw they didn't have commercials in basically

37
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:24.599
<v Speaker 2>around the entire world except the United States. And they

38
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 2>also get NXT, SmackDown and Raw and the ples all

39
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.520
<v Speaker 2>on Netflix. So they should have a much better picture

40
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.319
<v Speaker 2>quality for the shows, the same one that we have

41
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.759
<v Speaker 2>for Raw for they for all of them, and you know,

42
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.240
<v Speaker 2>do you know, if you're listening, let me know if

43
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 2>the picture quality for NXT and then for and then

44
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>for SmackDown Tomorrow night is going to be the same

45
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 2>amazing quality. But anyway, so they had the drones, which

46
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.919
<v Speaker 2>was really cool. And I actually one of my friends

47
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>and I were texting outside of the discord chat and

48
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:05.319
<v Speaker 2>he's the one that brought up to me like the

49
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 2>drones and then you never could see the drone and

50
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 2>any other camera angles, but you saw kind of flying

51
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 2>the picture of flying through the arena, which was which

52
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>was really cool. And so I say that to say

53
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:26.039
<v Speaker 2>that they also used drones. As matter of fact, it

54
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>seemed that during the during New Year's Evil, they didn't

55
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>have a hard alpha cam. They didn't have you know,

56
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 2>the camera that goes straight to the ring as the

57
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>main non movable camera they only use from what I

58
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 2>could tell, and if I'm wrong, please let me know.

59
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 2>But from what I could tell, they seem to only

60
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:51.039
<v Speaker 2>use the drones and handheld cameras that they didn't use

61
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:55.560
<v Speaker 2>any hard placement cameras for this event for New Year's Evil,

62
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>which I thought was really fascinating and I noticed it

63
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 2>because it's my job to notice it as a reviewer,

64
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 2>But to be honest, I didn't think it really took

65
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:11.919
<v Speaker 2>away from the event itself. So yeah, it was it was, Uh,

66
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 2>it was a good experience. New Year's EVA was great,

67
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 2>We had a we had an appearance by Triple H

68
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>in the audience, which was fine, but then also with

69
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Nick kN next to him, which I only make this

70
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.399
<v Speaker 2>point because Nick con is very rarely, if at all,

71
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.279
<v Speaker 2>on TV, and he showed up at n XT with

72
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Triple H to to basically wave, which I thought was

73
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 2>really fascinating. I wonder what that's about. I'm not sure,

74
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>but this event, from top to bottom, there's five matches

75
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:54.199
<v Speaker 2>five I think there was five, four or five. Every

76
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 2>match was from very good to excellent in my in

77
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.600
<v Speaker 2>my mind probably maybe maybe like a somewhere between good

78
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.319
<v Speaker 2>and very good to excellent. I can tell you which

79
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.879
<v Speaker 2>one I think it was the least entertaining of the

80
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.040
<v Speaker 2>night for me for me, and which one was the

81
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 2>most entertaining. But I'm gonna start off just by talking

82
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.240
<v Speaker 2>about I'm gonna start off by talking about the Rock.

83
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:26.600
<v Speaker 2>He comes out at the end, well, so the Rock,

84
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:28.720
<v Speaker 2>you know. They show him pulling up in the beginning,

85
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.839
<v Speaker 2>they show the interaction with EVA, which I will talk

86
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:36.319
<v Speaker 2>about later, the ava Ethan Page Rock interaction, which was

87
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:43.519
<v Speaker 2>I thought was really cool, and then you have Yeah,

88
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 2>there was I'm sorry, I think there was five matches. Uh,

89
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 2>I know, I'm kind of going off on a tangent.

90
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.639
<v Speaker 2>But then you have the Rock come out at the end. Now,

91
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 2>when he came out at the end, I'm gonna start

92
00:05:54.959 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 2>with this because this, to me is the most interesting. Uh.

93
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.480
<v Speaker 2>He comes out, and they basically tell him as soon

94
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.360
<v Speaker 2>as he comes out, they tell him, hey, dude, you

95
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:17.519
<v Speaker 2>only got ten minutes. And it's even in a in

96
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.480
<v Speaker 2>a smaller auditorium like that, a smaller venue like that,

97
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.240
<v Speaker 2>there are many times it takes to Rock ten minutes

98
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 2>to come out and start talking. And and as I've

99
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.040
<v Speaker 2>said before on the CW, you have a hard stop

100
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.920
<v Speaker 2>ten o'clock PM, you're done. The news is on like

101
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.399
<v Speaker 2>so like he didn't have any time to play with

102
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:40.680
<v Speaker 2>and you could tell at the end of what he

103
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.399
<v Speaker 2>was saying, he was kind of kind of spit up.

104
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.120
<v Speaker 2>I was just like, if you small, rock is gond

105
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.279
<v Speaker 2>And then we went off to the air. So, I mean,

106
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't that fast. I'm being I'm being facetious, but

107
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 2>you get the point. So the Rock comes out and

108
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.639
<v Speaker 2>I want to read what he said, but dropped a

109
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:04.560
<v Speaker 2>bunch of f bombs. I can't imagine the person who

110
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.839
<v Speaker 2>had to be in charge of listening, and from the

111
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:12.279
<v Speaker 2>first F bomb, from the first one to the last one,

112
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 2>they they got everyone. They beaped out, or they dropped

113
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.920
<v Speaker 2>the sound on every single F bomb. I didn't hear

114
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>one swear word, although there was a point where the

115
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 2>rock apologizes for swearing but then continues to swear. And

116
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I'd hate to be the guy that just is listening

117
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.399
<v Speaker 2>and going, okay, well there's another one and pushes the button.

118
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh there's another F bomb. He pushes the button. I

119
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 2>do like somebody should have basically told him, dude, this

120
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.920
<v Speaker 2>isn't a p LA. You can't be swearing that much.

121
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 2>He didn't swear that much on raw Netflix. I mean

122
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>he swore, but not as much as he swore on

123
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:59.319
<v Speaker 2>on a Next, which is on network television, network broadcast television.

124
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Like people see this show on analog, not analog anymore,

125
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.160
<v Speaker 2>but on the airwaves, like you don't even have to

126
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:09.519
<v Speaker 2>have the Internet or cable in order to be able

127
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 2>to see the show if you live in a metropolitan area.

128
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.600
<v Speaker 2>And he's dropping F bombs like okay, so anyway, he

129
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:19.120
<v Speaker 2>says wow, and I love you, thank you. I got

130
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:24.399
<v Speaker 2>fing I'll say fing instead of the word. I got

131
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.800
<v Speaker 2>fing goosebumps all over my body. This is crazy. Okay, yeah,

132
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:32.039
<v Speaker 2>you mother efforts are this is all on the CW.

133
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.960
<v Speaker 2>You mother effers are getting me emotional in here. All right,

134
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:38.879
<v Speaker 2>we got six minutes and thirty seconds left now. They

135
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.679
<v Speaker 2>gave him ten minutes from the beginning. He just kept

136
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.679
<v Speaker 2>going through so much crap, like just like put the

137
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.000
<v Speaker 2>mic up and then people started chanting. They put the

138
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:52.240
<v Speaker 2>mic back down, like, dude, you got only till ten o'clock?

139
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:56.679
<v Speaker 2>What are you doing? Sorry, I'm going I'm very intense

140
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 2>about this because I had a lot of feelings while

141
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.679
<v Speaker 2>I was watching this, to be honest, not necessarily negative

142
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:06.559
<v Speaker 2>or positive, just just like what is going on? All right? Okay,

143
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.279
<v Speaker 2>here we go. This is the best six This will

144
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.200
<v Speaker 2>be the best six minutes, all right. You know, the

145
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Rock has got a lot of nicknames. I go by

146
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.519
<v Speaker 2>the People's Champ, the most electrified man in all of entertainment,

147
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.159
<v Speaker 2>the sexiest man alive, and most probably the Jabroni beaten

148
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:28.159
<v Speaker 2>pie eating, trailblazing, eyebrow raising, electronic electric icon owns all

149
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.080
<v Speaker 2>the stock, the final Boss, the People's Champ, the Rock

150
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:33.799
<v Speaker 2>all right, I need you guys to help me out.

151
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean you guys clearly feel it. I feel you.

152
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I need you guys to help me out with something.

153
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 2>So this time last year, the Rock the Final Boss,

154
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.240
<v Speaker 2>everywhere I went, every gym, every restaurant, every church, every

155
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:51.320
<v Speaker 2>strip club, the same thing I heard, the same thing.

156
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh why you're so mean to Cody. Don't be mean

157
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.000
<v Speaker 2>to Cody. Cody has to finish his story. Don't be

158
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:05.279
<v Speaker 2>mean to Cody. Oh my god. Okay, Then he says,

159
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:10.919
<v Speaker 2>one year later, last night, raw whoo, an amazing night. Yes,

160
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:14.320
<v Speaker 2>we had an historic night. Last night. The Rock wanted

161
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.000
<v Speaker 2>to give props to Cody roads give him his flowers.

162
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:21.960
<v Speaker 2>He's been kicking butt, not butt, he has been kicking

163
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 2>but carrying the company on his shoulders. And then what

164
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.840
<v Speaker 2>do you say? You say you can't be nice to Cody,

165
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:32.879
<v Speaker 2>don't be nice to Cody, don't treat tequila with Cody.

166
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh f s. You can figure out what that is.

167
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.559
<v Speaker 2>And at the end of the day lets hermind up.

168
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:42.600
<v Speaker 2>The Rock, the Final Boss is taking twenty steps ahead.

169
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 2>So the best thing for them to do is know

170
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.360
<v Speaker 2>your role, shut your mouth, and enjoy the ride that

171
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:54.279
<v Speaker 2>The Rock is taking them on. So a couple things

172
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:02.720
<v Speaker 2>we did that last year, Rock and everything changed. You

173
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 2>said last year you were thinking twenty steps ahead. So

174
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:07.679
<v Speaker 2>last year, when you were thinking twenty steps ahead, did

175
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.080
<v Speaker 2>you think that the fans were gonna ask Cody to

176
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:14.840
<v Speaker 2>be in the main event and not you? Okay? And

177
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:19.679
<v Speaker 2>as far as there's I think there's certain podcasts and

178
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:24.240
<v Speaker 2>radio shows that are saying, why why do this you? Basically?

179
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.919
<v Speaker 2>So basically what happened was on Monday night. He's referencing

180
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Monday night, so I'm gonna reference Monday night. Monday night,

181
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>he kissed Cody's backside the entire night, except the fact

182
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:37.759
<v Speaker 2>that Cody was sitting in the front row and not

183
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 2>being in the ring with him, which I don't really understand.

184
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.679
<v Speaker 2>He's the un disputed champion. He's sitting in sitting in

185
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:46.080
<v Speaker 2>the crowd. I don't get that. Although later on he

186
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.879
<v Speaker 2>magically came out from the from the back, but that

187
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.840
<v Speaker 2>was neither here nor there. But you spent last year,

188
00:11:55.320 --> 00:12:01.000
<v Speaker 2>last spring before WrestleMania be rating him all the things.

189
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Beat his butt. I'm trying so hard not to swear.

190
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 2>Beat his butt outside in the rain next to his

191
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.720
<v Speaker 2>tour bus and put blood on his weight belt, which,

192
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 2>by the way, where's the weight belt? Pen the de

193
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:27.120
<v Speaker 2>side and fought him and pinned him at WrestleMania. Had

194
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:31.279
<v Speaker 2>the night after WrestleMania Money and the Raw that weird

195
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.519
<v Speaker 2>awkward interaction that they had together come out during Bad

196
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Blood do the cut sivil across your throat while looking

197
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.840
<v Speaker 2>at Cody and Roman. And then the next time we

198
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:48.759
<v Speaker 2>see you three months later, you're kissing his butt and

199
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.120
<v Speaker 2>you're upset that people are. Last year people were like, oh,

200
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.480
<v Speaker 2>don't be mean to Cody. And now now when we're

201
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:56.759
<v Speaker 2>when we're like, okay, cool rocks Me and a Cody.

202
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:00.159
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna beat Cody's butt, great broth. And then all

203
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:04.240
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, magically he comes on the first episode

204
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:11.399
<v Speaker 2>of Raw Netflix and he's his best friend. Why, Like,

205
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.279
<v Speaker 2>I understand, there's kfa there's not k fabe. Of course,

206
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:17.879
<v Speaker 2>the Rock was there on the first episode of Netflix

207
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Raw to basically as a commercial promoting everything. He was

208
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:29.120
<v Speaker 2>thanking the Netflix executives, thanking you know, the people that

209
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:35.120
<v Speaker 2>run WWE thanking whatever they he thanked. Everybody gave flowers

210
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:43.080
<v Speaker 2>to people wonderfully. I just I don't understand where so Okay, Fine, Fine, Rock, Fine,

211
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.600
<v Speaker 2>you're thinking twenty steps ahead. Fine, I'll enjoy the ride,

212
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:51.559
<v Speaker 2>but guess what, the whole time, I'm gonna be sitting

213
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:53.840
<v Speaker 2>next to you in the car going why are we

214
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:55.919
<v Speaker 2>doing what we're doing? Why are we driving this way?

215
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:00.840
<v Speaker 2>That's our job and I know, listen, don't. I don't

216
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 2>review raw. I don't know if you've smack down. But

217
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:05.840
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna I'm every

218
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:08.480
<v Speaker 2>week that the Rock does something, I'm gonna take a

219
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:10.960
<v Speaker 2>couple of minutes and ask him where he's going with

220
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 2>this and where he's going with that. That's what I'm

221
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.679
<v Speaker 2>gonna do. I'm not gonna take the whole time. I'm

222
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.200
<v Speaker 2>only talking about it tonight because because The Rock was

223
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:23.000
<v Speaker 2>on the x T. But you know what, Rock again,

224
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:26.159
<v Speaker 2>enjoy the ride. I'll enjoy the ride, but i'm gonna

225
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:27.840
<v Speaker 2>ask you. I'm gonna be a backseat driver and I

226
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.080
<v Speaker 2>ask you why we're going this way, why we're going

227
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:35.480
<v Speaker 2>that way. You don't have to answer, obviously, but it's

228
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:40.960
<v Speaker 2>our job to question things because ultimately this is for us,

229
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:44.399
<v Speaker 2>because we're the one paying the bills, we're the one

230
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:47.759
<v Speaker 2>buying the tickets, buying the merch, buying Netflix so we

231
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:49.799
<v Speaker 2>can watch Monday Night Raw. Not that no, not that

232
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:52.080
<v Speaker 2>people didn't have it already, but you get my point.

233
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Moving on, Now we got this is the Rock again.

234
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Now we have a rowdy crowd here. It says that

235
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:06.320
<v Speaker 2>we got about two minutes left. Look, look they say

236
00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:09.600
<v Speaker 2>I got two minutes. I say, if all that, we're

237
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.080
<v Speaker 2>going all night. Oh their sweating, it's gonna be all right.

238
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry for the language. I apologize. Here's the thing.

239
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.360
<v Speaker 2>The truth is, I knew I was coming to NXT

240
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.559
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks ago. I talked to Triple H

241
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:25.600
<v Speaker 2>and dit Com. I said, let me come to NXT.

242
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.879
<v Speaker 2>We were in the Into It Dome on Monday. Let

243
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.159
<v Speaker 2>me come to NXT on Tuesday. What do you think?

244
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.480
<v Speaker 2>They said it'd be great. But the thing is, I

245
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.679
<v Speaker 2>didn't know what to say, right, so you think about it.

246
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:41.799
<v Speaker 2>I talked to Ava backstage. By the way, we'll talk

247
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.600
<v Speaker 2>about that later. She said, you're going to go out

248
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:47.120
<v Speaker 2>there and you're gonna feel the crowd. Let this crowd

249
00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:50.279
<v Speaker 2>inform you and you know what, and then you'll know

250
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.480
<v Speaker 2>what you're gonna say. I love you back, and I

251
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.720
<v Speaker 2>appreciate that. But I want to tell you something that's

00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:57.240
<v Speaker 2>very important. The main thing I want to tell you

255
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.480
<v Speaker 2>night into a dome, Monday night ron Netflix, that's the

256
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:10.840
<v Speaker 2>sexy ticket. That's a ticket, right, like, Hey, go to

<v Speaker 2>the show. You'll see celebrities, You'll see all the stars

259
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.639
<v Speaker 2>you have to go to. Next to shrine here in

260
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.559
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles is the one that you want to go to.

261
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you something. I got e f and chills.

262
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:28.159
<v Speaker 2>I can't stop. You have to that, you have to

263
00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:31.639
<v Speaker 2>go to that show. But you want to go to

264
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.440
<v Speaker 2>this show, Okay, it's easy to go to the place

265
00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:38.799
<v Speaker 2>that has all the stars. You're effing right, there's lots

266
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.480
<v Speaker 2>of stars here as well. And that's what I want

267
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:43.399
<v Speaker 2>to tell you. I need to tell you. You know that

268
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:46.679
<v Speaker 2>every single one of you, every single one of you,

269
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:49.120
<v Speaker 2>how important you are, how critical you are to this

270
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:53.519
<v Speaker 2>whole thing. Okay, because those guys back there are those

271
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:57.960
<v Speaker 2>girls and guys that are working there as off, they

272
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.720
<v Speaker 2>come out here in three years, who knows they could

273
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.080
<v Speaker 2>be the main event of WrestleMania, but as you know,

274
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.960
<v Speaker 2>in three years they could be out of business. But

275
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.559
<v Speaker 2>here's what it depends on. Whether you boo or whether

276
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.599
<v Speaker 2>you cheer, It all depends on how you how you react.

277
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:14.839
<v Speaker 2>I've been down this road. I've wrestled down in the

278
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Memphis as Flex Cavana. Look it up, flex Cavana. I

279
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.519
<v Speaker 2>know it's the worst name in the history of professional wrestling.

280
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I know what it's like to depend on the depend

281
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:29.279
<v Speaker 2>on the crowd. I want you to know that you

282
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:33.759
<v Speaker 2>that you matter more than you think. I'm here. Look, look,

283
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:35.759
<v Speaker 2>my job takes me a lot of places. I will

284
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:40.559
<v Speaker 2>always come back home to you. WWE NXT, I love you.

285
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:45.759
<v Speaker 2>If you smell with the rock is cooking. So after

286
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:51.240
<v Speaker 2>we get through the crap of the Cody stuff, then

287
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:56.359
<v Speaker 2>we have him saying what he wants to say. And

288
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.240
<v Speaker 2>here's the important thing to take out of that. The

289
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:04.519
<v Speaker 2>important thing to take out of that is and Ava

290
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:07.039
<v Speaker 2>said this earlier in the night. I don't really care

291
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:09.240
<v Speaker 2>for Ava, but but what she said was absolute one

292
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:16.000
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent. The fans of NXT are the most passionate fans. Okay,

293
00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:21.400
<v Speaker 2>they're the ones that scream and holler more than any

294
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:26.680
<v Speaker 2>other fans. They're the ones that sang Joe Hendry's song

295
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 2>when he came out for that Battle Royal in twenty

296
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:32.359
<v Speaker 2>twenty four, and they knew it word for word, even

297
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:35.039
<v Speaker 2>though he's part of TNA and they're all in XT.

298
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:41.960
<v Speaker 2>The fans of NXT are the diehards. Yours truly included.

299
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:46.279
<v Speaker 2>Everybody that's listening. If you're listening to a podcast about

300
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:51.079
<v Speaker 2>EDXT right now, and from what from what Matt tells me,

301
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:55.240
<v Speaker 2>we've got a couple thousand downloads, you are the hardcore fan.

302
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:59.720
<v Speaker 2>You are not that people that just watch main roster

303
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:01.720
<v Speaker 2>are not true fans. I'm not saying that. What I'm

304
00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:05.240
<v Speaker 2>saying is is that the ones here, the ones that

305
00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:09.240
<v Speaker 2>we talked that that are hereless watching NXT. We know

306
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:12.720
<v Speaker 2>everything that's going on in the main roster, but we

307
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.799
<v Speaker 2>know everything that's coming up from to the main roster too, right,

308
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:22.000
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, we have two we had three title

309
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:28.039
<v Speaker 2>changes last night, three three title changes last night, and

310
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:31.119
<v Speaker 2>I bet I will bet that at least one of

311
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:34.440
<v Speaker 2>those three champions that lost their titles last night, at

312
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:36.920
<v Speaker 2>least one of them is going to the main roster.

313
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:39.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not. I don't know for sure who it is.

314
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:43.039
<v Speaker 2>And if you know what I'm talking about, then you

315
00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:47.319
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm talking about. But anyway, that's my take

316
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:53.119
<v Speaker 2>on that, and I I decided to put that first

317
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:57.920
<v Speaker 2>because I know that that's the interesting part of the night. Well,

318
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:01.240
<v Speaker 2>everything is interesting, but that was the this cool, cool

319
00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:03.279
<v Speaker 2>thing of the night, and I wanted to get that

320
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:08.000
<v Speaker 2>out first because it was let me tell you that,

321
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:10.640
<v Speaker 2>that whole thing with the fact, I don't know if

322
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:13.279
<v Speaker 2>you if you heard me just now, how many F

323
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:17.920
<v Speaker 2>bombs did he drop? At least eight or nine on

324
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:23.920
<v Speaker 2>the CW, Like, what are you doing? Okay, Oh, I'm

325
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:28.880
<v Speaker 2>so exhausted, already, so exhausted, and we've already been doing

326
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:31.480
<v Speaker 2>this for I've only been doing this for nineteen minutes.

327
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:35.119
<v Speaker 2>I haven't even talked about a match yet. Okay, let's

328
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:39.160
<v Speaker 2>talk about a match. Let's talk about the first match

329
00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:42.519
<v Speaker 2>of the night. First match of the night was the

330
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:49.400
<v Speaker 2>NXT Women's title match. This was a This was a

331
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:53.240
<v Speaker 2>freaking awesome match. I mean, this was better. So Julia

332
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:57.599
<v Speaker 2>was Julia versus Roxanne Prize, but the match was This

333
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:00.759
<v Speaker 2>is the second time they met. They met at the

334
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.480
<v Speaker 2>first episode of nxtn the c W back in October.

335
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:06.680
<v Speaker 2>So this is the second time they met. This match

336
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:11.559
<v Speaker 2>was one hundred percent a million percent better than the

337
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:16.359
<v Speaker 2>first time they met. Uh it was it was so good.

338
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:22.680
<v Speaker 2>The ending, they were both outside the ring. Uh what's

339
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:27.720
<v Speaker 2>it original name? Julie gives a Northern Lights Northern Lights

340
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:32.480
<v Speaker 2>bomb to Roxanne outside the ring. Referees counting. Referee was

341
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:37.839
<v Speaker 2>counting fast uh to ten while both both wrestlers are

342
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 2>outside the ring. Cory j comes grabs Roxanne Perez tosses

343
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.079
<v Speaker 2>her back in the ring, but before the referee you

344
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:49.200
<v Speaker 2>get to ten, Julie ends up jumping back in the ring. Eventually,

345
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:55.599
<v Speaker 2>Roxanne hits hits Julie with pop rocks. Julia kicks out

346
00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:01.400
<v Speaker 2>because you know, well, one of the biggest complaints that

347
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Matt had about Monday Night Raw was that everybody was

348
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.519
<v Speaker 2>kicking out of everybody's finishers, and this was no different

349
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.359
<v Speaker 2>on New Year's Evil. But anyway, Julie kicks out of

350
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:14.599
<v Speaker 2>the pop of pop rocks, eventually gives her another Northern

351
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:20.160
<v Speaker 2>like Northern Lights bomb in the in the ring and

352
00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:23.480
<v Speaker 2>gets the win, and Julia is now your new NXT

353
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Women's Champion and I think I call this if you

354
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:31.480
<v Speaker 2>listen to older shows that I did, I definitely said

355
00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Julia was gonna win. Julia is I honestly think they're

356
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:42.920
<v Speaker 2>setting up so so again, Stand and Deliver is coming.

357
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:48.160
<v Speaker 2>It's coming in uh A Wrestlemingia Weekend is usually when

358
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.359
<v Speaker 2>they do. It's on Saturday morning of WrestleMania Weekend at

359
00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:57.039
<v Speaker 2>ten am ten am Eastern, And uh, I think that

360
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:03.000
<v Speaker 2>they're setting up Julia versus and Eva Care, which they should.

361
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:08.799
<v Speaker 2>It's their two biggest, two best wrestlers, and the match

362
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:14.160
<v Speaker 2>will absolutely burn and they need to have They need

363
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:20.240
<v Speaker 2>to not wrestle at all between now and Stand and Deliver,

364
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:22.960
<v Speaker 2>and that will be a huge match, and it also

365
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.400
<v Speaker 2>should be a main event. Julia versus Stephanie mccare for

366
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Standing Deliver should be the main event of that show.

367
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Male personal opinion. So anyway, Julia is your new your

368
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:40.559
<v Speaker 2>new u NXT women's Champion. So, by the way, that

369
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:43.240
<v Speaker 2>this night was interesting because you had the first half

370
00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:46.000
<v Speaker 2>of the night, for the first hour was all the

371
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.400
<v Speaker 2>women's matches and then for the second half was the

372
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:50.480
<v Speaker 2>men's matches and the Rock, which I thought was an

373
00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:56.640
<v Speaker 2>interesting decision to be honest, I'm not exactly sure why

374
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:02.119
<v Speaker 2>they did that. But so the second match was so

375
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:07.839
<v Speaker 2>Before that, before the second match, you have Ava who

376
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:11.519
<v Speaker 2>catches Eddie Thorpe quote faking an injury in the backstage area.

377
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Eddie's like, no, I'm not faking this time, and Eva's

378
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:16.599
<v Speaker 2>just like, yeah, whatever you faked last time, why would

379
00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:19.519
<v Speaker 2>you not be faking this time. Then you have a

380
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:24.720
<v Speaker 2>promo for Javon Evans and with his jaws shut, he says, Eat,

381
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:26.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna do the jaws shut thing. I'll just

382
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.039
<v Speaker 2>read it, Ethan Paige. My jaw is wired shut. I

383
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:32.559
<v Speaker 2>can't sleep, I can't eat, I can't talk. But I'm

384
00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:35.200
<v Speaker 2>going to find you for what you did to Cedric

385
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:37.920
<v Speaker 2>last week, for what you did to me, Ethan. I'm

386
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:44.400
<v Speaker 2>going to make you feel my pain. So interesting second

387
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:48.640
<v Speaker 2>match Coora j versus Stephanie Vecer versus Colonie Jordan versus

388
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Lola Weis and a fatal four way match where the

389
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:55.079
<v Speaker 2>winner becomes the number one contender for the NXT Women's

390
00:24:55.160 --> 00:25:03.519
<v Speaker 2>North American Championship currently held by Fallon Henley. Another freaking

391
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.200
<v Speaker 2>awesome match, and this was a This was a fatal

392
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:12.400
<v Speaker 2>four way match where all four women were constantly against

393
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:14.839
<v Speaker 2>each other, and it was so it wasn't two versus

394
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:17.440
<v Speaker 2>two two people outside, two people inside. It was all

395
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:19.799
<v Speaker 2>four of them going against each other the entire time.

396
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:22.960
<v Speaker 2>It was an awesome match. I'm not gonna get into

397
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:28.119
<v Speaker 2>the minutia of the match. So at the end, at

398
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:33.079
<v Speaker 2>the end of the match, we have basically Stephanie uh

399
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:38.240
<v Speaker 2>drops Vice with with eat defeat and drives Jade Jade

400
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:40.880
<v Speaker 2>cord j Ad face first into the top turn buckle.

401
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Stephanie with repeated headbuts to the corner in the corner

402
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:49.200
<v Speaker 2>of the Care with the halluva kick to to Lola Ice,

403
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Jordan tugs on Vikara's hair. Kaer pulls Jordan back into

404
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:57.680
<v Speaker 2>the ring and with the leg and the dragon screw

405
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:01.799
<v Speaker 2>leg whip, stephan In has a shotgun Meteora for the

406
00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:05.000
<v Speaker 2>two count. Vice goes for the sleeper hole, but the

407
00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:08.400
<v Speaker 2>care rolls her over for the two count, and we

408
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:10.319
<v Speaker 2>keep going on. It was just back and forth and

409
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:12.119
<v Speaker 2>back and forth, and then finally we get to the

410
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:16.319
<v Speaker 2>end where the Care with she uses the Japanese leg

411
00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:20.759
<v Speaker 2>clutch hold for a two count. Lola dumps Stephanie out

412
00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:24.519
<v Speaker 2>of the ring, and then Cora with a pump knee strike.

413
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Then Klanie ducks the closed life from Jade Corey. Jade

414
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Jordan hits the Olympic Slam, which was interesting, it was

415
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:36.640
<v Speaker 2>doing the kurd angle Olympic Slam, goes for the four

416
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:39.839
<v Speaker 2>to fifty splash. Okay, Klanie Jordan went for a four

417
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:45.599
<v Speaker 2>to fifty splash. There was nobody there like she like,

418
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:48.160
<v Speaker 2>how could she not have known? I mean, obviously she was,

419
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:52.680
<v Speaker 2>It's all like kfe But but she jumped after the

420
00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:58.480
<v Speaker 2>after Stephanie moved out of the way, and she hit

421
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:05.000
<v Speaker 2>the canvas doing a summersault face first so hard, Oh

422
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:10.799
<v Speaker 2>my god, and you could hear it so loud. But Jade,

423
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, I was Cory j that she was trying

424
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:15.279
<v Speaker 2>to do it. She ducks out of the way, Vice

425
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:19.039
<v Speaker 2>delivers a spinning backfist and and the Corus super kicks

426
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Vice and then Stephanie connects with the SVB to pick

427
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.920
<v Speaker 2>up the victory. So the winner and the number one

428
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:33.160
<v Speaker 2>contender of the North American women's title is Stephanie Vekira.

429
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Which again, but it's the right call, It's the right decision.

430
00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe you know, I'm still holding fast to the

431
00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:48.640
<v Speaker 2>to the UH Stephanie and Julia match. Maybe maybe a

432
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:51.440
<v Speaker 2>title for title of Stephanie ends up winning the North

433
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:57.880
<v Speaker 2>American Championship. Maybe that'd be kind of cool. Anyway. Next

434
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:01.079
<v Speaker 2>you have Ava informing UH the Holy Union that they'll

435
00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:05.079
<v Speaker 2>be battling Metaphor next week for the and the winner

436
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:08.240
<v Speaker 2>will be the number one contenders for the Women's Tag

437
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Team champions currently held by Bianca bel Air and Naomi.

438
00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:16.599
<v Speaker 2>She also tells Sarah Schreiber that she's not buying Eddie's

439
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:19.839
<v Speaker 2>injury because the main and the main excuse and the

440
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:21.960
<v Speaker 2>main event will continue to be a triple threat match.

441
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Oba Femi admits that he is the one that attacked

442
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:28.079
<v Speaker 2>Eddie backstage because of what happened to him last week.

443
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Ava tells Oba that the match will remain the same regardless,

444
00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:34.640
<v Speaker 2>and Oba says he has no doubt that he's going

445
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:37.920
<v Speaker 2>to walk out of Los Angeles the brand new NXT champion.

446
00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:40.799
<v Speaker 2>And then we have a shot at Nick Connon Triple

447
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:43.480
<v Speaker 2>h in the crowds waving their hands. They have a

448
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:48.000
<v Speaker 2>OTM vignette, and next week we have a tag team

449
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.319
<v Speaker 2>title match between OTM and Frexium. So that should be

450
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.160
<v Speaker 2>a good match. Third match of the night is Fatal

451
00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:00.319
<v Speaker 2>Influence versus Gigi Dolan, shot Ci, Tatum Pasley and six

452
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:07.599
<v Speaker 2>women Tag team match. We uh this was this was

453
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:11.720
<v Speaker 2>a really good match. It so far of the three matches,

454
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:14.839
<v Speaker 2>it's my it's my third favorite, but it's it's definitely

455
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.599
<v Speaker 2>it's definitely better than other matches of the night. It was.

456
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:22.000
<v Speaker 2>It was a fun match. Do you know that all

457
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:25.200
<v Speaker 2>the women like just rasing each other? And I love

458
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:28.319
<v Speaker 2>the combination of Stephanie. That's Stephanie. Oh my god, my ear,

459
00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:32.559
<v Speaker 2>my brain is the combination of Tatum Pasley, Shatzi and uh,

460
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Gigi Doland to me is awesome. Like I love all

461
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:42.240
<v Speaker 2>three of them. They're so cool. So we have we

462
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:50.519
<v Speaker 2>have Shati was does a flying cross body block, running neckbreaker,

463
00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:54.680
<v Speaker 2>belly to backsuitplex combination for a two count gig Dollan

464
00:29:54.720 --> 00:30:00.799
<v Speaker 2>and Pasi toss j C. Jane and as necks out

465
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:06.759
<v Speaker 2>of the ring and a double indziguri to Henley shots.

466
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:10.119
<v Speaker 2>He connects with the welcome to the ball pit to

467
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:14.799
<v Speaker 2>pick up the victory. So you're so you have Shatzi

468
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.799
<v Speaker 2>and Gigi Dolan and Tanum Pasley with the wind and

469
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Shatsi pins fallon Henley, which is going to be important

470
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:33.119
<v Speaker 2>for later on. So after this then we have the

471
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:40.680
<v Speaker 2>interaction that this was really cool. Ava's backstage and she's

472
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:45.720
<v Speaker 2>scolding Ethan page about what he did to Javan Evans.

473
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:49.119
<v Speaker 2>Ethan talks about how how big tonight is and he's

474
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:51.279
<v Speaker 2>nowhere to be found on the card and Ava wants

475
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:54.799
<v Speaker 2>to make sure make something perfectly clear. This is her show,

476
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:57.880
<v Speaker 2>and she calls a shot and Ava says it's it's

477
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:02.920
<v Speaker 2>perfect timing and the Rock standing right behind Ethan. The

478
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Rock introduces himself to Ethan and he's heard a lot

479
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:10.000
<v Speaker 2>of things about him, not all good things. By the

480
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:13.640
<v Speaker 2>way Ethan broke Javon evans jaw. The Rock says that

481
00:31:13.759 --> 00:31:18.039
<v Speaker 2>payback is going to be a b you get it,

482
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:23.960
<v Speaker 2>but Ethan highly doubts it. Ethan brags about Cedric Alexander's

483
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:26.519
<v Speaker 2>fingers and the Rock had the pleasure of speaking to

484
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.799
<v Speaker 2>nxt Roster earlier today. If anybody needed anything from him,

485
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:33.039
<v Speaker 2>they should give him a call, including Ethan. Ethan like

486
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:35.119
<v Speaker 2>the sound of that, and one more thing. The Rock

487
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:38.119
<v Speaker 2>reminds Ethan that he's the final boss. But when it

488
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:42.000
<v Speaker 2>comes to NXT Ava is the final boss. So if

489
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Ethan is going to be cool with the Rock, then

490
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:50.400
<v Speaker 2>he needs to be cool with Ava, who Obviously, for

491
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:52.759
<v Speaker 2>any of you that don't know at this point, you're

492
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:55.799
<v Speaker 2>all NXT viewers, so I can't imagine you don't. Ava

493
00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:00.799
<v Speaker 2>is the Rock's daughter. If you don't know that by now,

494
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:06.960
<v Speaker 2>then I find that interesting. Uh. And The Rock says

495
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:09.720
<v Speaker 2>that he will soon see Ethan on the main roster

496
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:15.680
<v Speaker 2>one day, yes please. Ava can't wait for Ethan to

497
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:18.200
<v Speaker 2>go to the main roster either, which I thought was

498
00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:22.200
<v Speaker 2>really funny. Tonight is about moments. The Rock has no

499
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:24.880
<v Speaker 2>idea what he's gonna say. Does Ava have any advice

500
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:27.240
<v Speaker 2>for him? The Rock has never been in front of

501
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:30.640
<v Speaker 2>an XT craw before. Their passion is different. The Rock

502
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:32.599
<v Speaker 2>may not know what to say, but when he gets

503
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:35.240
<v Speaker 2>out there, he's going to feel the energy and speak

504
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:38.160
<v Speaker 2>from the heart. And The Rock gives Ava fistmump. By

505
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:41.680
<v Speaker 2>the way, when when Ethan page left the Rock, the

506
00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Rock slapped Ethan pages as and says it said, get

507
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:47.759
<v Speaker 2>your sweet ass out of here, and I was just like,

508
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:55.079
<v Speaker 2>what what? What? Don't understand? All right? Moving on, The

509
00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:57.680
<v Speaker 2>fourth match of the night was Charlie Dempsey of the

510
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:00.960
<v Speaker 2>No Quarter Catch Crew versus Lexus King for the w

511
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:05.000
<v Speaker 2>w A nix T Heritage Cup Championship. This match was okay,

512
00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:10.720
<v Speaker 2>and this was probably the match that I can say

513
00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:13.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying this as in, this was a good match,

514
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:15.920
<v Speaker 2>but it's probably my least favorite of all the matches.

515
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:19.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't particularly care for the whole Heritage Cup thing,

516
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:22.359
<v Speaker 2>even though this was. This was done in sudden death,

517
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:27.160
<v Speaker 2>which basically means it's a regular match and the winner

518
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:31.440
<v Speaker 2>gets the cup, which is yeah. So in the end,

519
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Lexus King ends up picking up the victory and becoming

520
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:40.440
<v Speaker 2>the new Heritage Cup Champion. It's gonna be interesting to

521
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:43.079
<v Speaker 2>see where he goes with that. He's still he's still

522
00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:46.039
<v Speaker 2>kind of playing the whole I'm trying to do the

523
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:50.400
<v Speaker 2>right thing spiel. So we'll see how that goes. But

524
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:53.400
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, I mean, listen, Lexus King, he deserves some flowers.

525
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I think he played a great heel and now he's

526
00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:58.640
<v Speaker 2>playing a great heel that wants to be a babyface.

527
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:03.880
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, after that, we have Stephanie mccorr and Shatzi

528
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:07.880
<v Speaker 2>who they bicker with Ava so shots. So Stephanie says,

529
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:09.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, obviously she gets the next shot at the

530
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:14.239
<v Speaker 2>North American Women's title. But then Shatzi comes in and says, hey,

531
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I should get a shot at the XTA North American

532
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:22.639
<v Speaker 2>Women's Title because I just pinned Fallon Henley. Here's my

533
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:27.679
<v Speaker 2>problem with that. Who cares that you pinned her? There

534
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:33.840
<v Speaker 2>was a match where four women four had a fatal

535
00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:38.000
<v Speaker 2>four way match and Stephanie mkerr won. I know I'm biased,

536
00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:42.360
<v Speaker 2>but still Stephanie mccorr won. She's the number one contender.

537
00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:45.440
<v Speaker 2>She has the next match. The same crap happened with

538
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:49.119
<v Speaker 2>Oba Femi wins the Island Survivor Challenge. I don't care

539
00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:52.960
<v Speaker 2>how he got in. Whatever he wins the Island Survivor Challenge,

540
00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:56.880
<v Speaker 2>he should have had the next shot by himself on

541
00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Trick Williams. The whole Ednyethorpe thing getting in there was crap.

542
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:04.480
<v Speaker 2>If Shatzi gets in and now now Stephanie has to go,

543
00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:08.039
<v Speaker 2>then Shatzi for the number one contendership for the women's

544
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:10.599
<v Speaker 2>title next week, which, by the way, she already got that.

545
00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:14.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't really understand what we're doing here, Like if

546
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:17.679
<v Speaker 2>if somebody wins a match to become a number one contender.

547
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:20.199
<v Speaker 2>Then they're the number one contender, and that's the end

548
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:24.280
<v Speaker 2>of the story. Like, I don't understand the problem. Maybe

549
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:26.320
<v Speaker 2>it's just me. If it's just me, let me know.

550
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:30.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it is. Then we had the last

551
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:33.159
<v Speaker 2>match of the night, which was Trick Williams versus Oba

552
00:35:33.239 --> 00:35:35.559
<v Speaker 2>Femi versus Eddie Thorpe in a triple threat match for

553
00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:41.719
<v Speaker 2>the w w E NXT Championship. This match was awesome, Okay,

554
00:35:41.800 --> 00:35:43.079
<v Speaker 2>then one of the I think one of the reasons

555
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:44.719
<v Speaker 2>why it was as awesome as it was was because

556
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Eddie Thorpe wasn't in the most most of the match.

557
00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think any you as as most of you know,

558
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:52.559
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think Anythorpe should have been in the match

559
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:54.800
<v Speaker 2>in the first place. And the fact of the matter

560
00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:56.800
<v Speaker 2>is is that you know, Oba Femily took him out

561
00:35:56.800 --> 00:35:59.559
<v Speaker 2>and did us all a favor because then we have

562
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Trick Williams versus basically Trick Williams or Oba Femi. It's

563
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:05.079
<v Speaker 2>a triple threat match, but Eddie Thorpe isn't there till

564
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:08.960
<v Speaker 2>the very end. But Eddie Thorpe does come in in

565
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:18.199
<v Speaker 2>the end. So when Eddie Thorpe comes in um. He

566
00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:21.239
<v Speaker 2>pulls the referee out of the ring and then argues

567
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:24.039
<v Speaker 2>with the referee. Oba throws Storp back into the ring

568
00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:28.119
<v Speaker 2>and Femi drops Thorp with a big boot. Femmy with

569
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:31.719
<v Speaker 2>the backhand sends Storp into the corner. Fami hits the

570
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:33.679
<v Speaker 2>spine buster. Let me tell you this, all of his

571
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:39.000
<v Speaker 2>booms are just so bad ass, sorry but they are.

572
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Fami hits the belly of the back toss, which is

573
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:45.880
<v Speaker 2>basically him just lifting somebody and chucking him across the ring.

574
00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Hits two running upper cuts, and then Williams delivers a

575
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:53.320
<v Speaker 2>trick shot for a two count so trick. Williams hits

576
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:57.360
<v Speaker 2>his finisher right theme of the ninth Theme of the week, Trick.

577
00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Williams hits his finisher, with which Obami kicks out of,

578
00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:09.320
<v Speaker 2>but then Thorpe counters with a chair shot in midair

579
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:13.559
<v Speaker 2>and Femmi plants Williams with the fall from grace power

580
00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:17.079
<v Speaker 2>bomb and picks up the victory and Oba Femi is

581
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:21.920
<v Speaker 2>now your new NXT champion, which, by the way, again

582
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:26.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm no prosticating prosticator prosticator, but I do call this one.

583
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:32.559
<v Speaker 2>Not surprised that Oba Femi won, so in my mind,

584
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:37.239
<v Speaker 2>either Trick Williams or Roxanne Perez are probably going to

585
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the main roster at some point. I don't know for sure.

586
00:37:41.159 --> 00:37:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's just happens to be right

587
00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:44.400
<v Speaker 2>before the Royal Rumble and they're both going to be

588
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:47.719
<v Speaker 2>in their respective world rumbles. Maybe I don't know, but

589
00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:49.519
<v Speaker 2>I think that one of the two of them will

590
00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:53.679
<v Speaker 2>probably bump up. That's just my own opinion. They're both

591
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:58.880
<v Speaker 2>two time champions in their respective divisions, so I think

592
00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:01.920
<v Speaker 2>it's about time. And obviously they both prove in their stuff,

593
00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:05.079
<v Speaker 2>especially Roxanne Perez. I mean, Trick Williams has been a

594
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:07.639
<v Speaker 2>little bit less than a year, maybe a little bit

595
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:09.880
<v Speaker 2>over a year. Roxan Prez has been doing this now

596
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:12.920
<v Speaker 2>for two and a half years. Bump her up. I

597
00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:14.639
<v Speaker 2>mean she, yes, she's five foot and nothing, but you

598
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:20.119
<v Speaker 2>know what, so's Zelena Vegan and she's awesome too. At

599
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:22.760
<v Speaker 2>the very end of the night, well at the very end,

600
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:25.159
<v Speaker 2>before the rock comes out, which we've already talked about,

601
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna talk about that again. You have Oba

602
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Femi walks up the ramp and then he stands on

603
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:33.760
<v Speaker 2>one side, Julia comes out stands on the other. They

604
00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:37.039
<v Speaker 2>each trip lift their belts up and one side says

605
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:41.599
<v Speaker 2>and the new nor NXT Champion Opathemi and the new

606
00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:45.119
<v Speaker 2>NXT Women's Champion Julia. So this was really cool and

607
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:50.599
<v Speaker 2>by the way, that should have ended the show. They have.

608
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:54.440
<v Speaker 2>They're both standing there, both respective champions winning their win,

609
00:38:54.559 --> 00:38:57.440
<v Speaker 2>won their match, the new champions holding the bets belts

610
00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:02.000
<v Speaker 2>up in the air in syncresy cut to black. That's

611
00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:04.840
<v Speaker 2>the That's a perfect spot to end the show. But

612
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:07.480
<v Speaker 2>obviously the Rock has to finish the show because it's

613
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:10.400
<v Speaker 2>the Rock again. We already talked about that. I want

614
00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:12.519
<v Speaker 2>to I want to mention also before I before I

615
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:17.280
<v Speaker 2>hit the road, I want to mention that in five days,

616
00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:21.280
<v Speaker 2>so Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, in five days we

617
00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:26.840
<v Speaker 2>had three brand new women's champions. I think that's unprecedented.

618
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Somebody somebody looked that up. For me, somebody looked that up.

619
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:33.000
<v Speaker 2>We had Tiffany Strott cashing the money in the bank

620
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:37.320
<v Speaker 2>on Friday, Saturday Sunday, then we had Monday we had

621
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Rhea Ripley win the title from Live Morgan, and then

622
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:46.159
<v Speaker 2>on Tuesday we had Julia beat Rox San Perez. That's

623
00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:50.280
<v Speaker 2>pretty freaking cool. Nobody's talking about that. Three brand new

624
00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:53.559
<v Speaker 2>w W Women's champions in the matter of five days.

625
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I think that's pretty cool. That's just me. Let me

626
00:39:57.000 --> 00:40:01.280
<v Speaker 2>tell you. New Year's Evil was awesome. It was awesome.

627
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:04.159
<v Speaker 2>We had the next paper view coming up soon. Can't

628
00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:06.719
<v Speaker 2>wait for it. But in the meantime, I can't wait

629
00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:09.559
<v Speaker 2>to see, Oh, they're gonna call up to be in

630
00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:14.360
<v Speaker 2>the Royal Rumble. Last year we had Carmelo, we had

631
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:17.519
<v Speaker 2>bron Breaker, we had Tiffany Shutton. Both of them now

632
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:21.840
<v Speaker 2>are champions. Right last year we had bron Breaker, Tiffany

633
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Shutton come up in the in the Royal Rumble. And

634
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:26.480
<v Speaker 2>by the way, bron Breaker wasn't even supposed to be

635
00:40:26.519 --> 00:40:28.480
<v Speaker 2>in the roll Rumble. At one point it was supposed

636
00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:31.199
<v Speaker 2>to be brock Lesner, and he took over brock Lesner's

637
00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:34.519
<v Speaker 2>spot because of the whole scandal, and now we have

638
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:37.599
<v Speaker 2>him as this two time intercandill champion. Less than a

639
00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:42.480
<v Speaker 2>year later, Tiffany Shutton comes into the Royal Rumble, gets

640
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:46.000
<v Speaker 2>such a pop they put on the elimination chamber. She

641
00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:48.599
<v Speaker 2>kills in the elimination chamber. It doesn't have a matter

642
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:51.599
<v Speaker 2>of vessel Mania which I thought was weird, and she

643
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:56.960
<v Speaker 2>is now the WWE Women's Champion less than a year.

644
00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:01.320
<v Speaker 2>This could happen for anybody. Could happen for Roxanne, it

645
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:03.840
<v Speaker 2>could happen for Trick, It could happen for any of them.

646
00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:07.039
<v Speaker 2>This is why we watch NXT. We want to see

647
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:09.840
<v Speaker 2>them develop, we want to see them get brought up,

648
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:12.559
<v Speaker 2>and we want to see them succeed. Iliot Dragonov would

649
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:16.320
<v Speaker 2>be succeeding right now if he hadn't hurt himself. Carmelo,

650
00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:19.159
<v Speaker 2>he's kind of a comic relief, but he's doing great.

651
00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:21.719
<v Speaker 2>As far as I'm concerned, he's doing great. Obviously, there's

652
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:26.199
<v Speaker 2>them people that came up that fell through. Okay, fine,

653
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:28.719
<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna it's not gonna be perfect, but this

654
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:33.119
<v Speaker 2>we watch NXT so we can watch the heart and

655
00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Soul and the next and that this way, when people

656
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:39.039
<v Speaker 2>come up, we know what's gonna happen moving forward. And

657
00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:43.239
<v Speaker 2>if you think about it, it's a perfect scenario. They

658
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:45.119
<v Speaker 2>have us watching the people that are gonna be brought

659
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:47.280
<v Speaker 2>up to the main roster, and we're gonna be invested

660
00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:49.639
<v Speaker 2>in them already and we're gonna continue to watch it.

661
00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:54.480
<v Speaker 2>It's it's a self. It's basically just keeps picking up steam. Anyway,

662
00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:57.039
<v Speaker 2>I should be done talking. I've been talking for a while.

663
00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:59.719
<v Speaker 2>How long have I've been talking? Forty one minutes since?

664
00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Actually not as bad as I thought, but either way,
