Speaker 1: Listen is WWE Superstar Drew mcintylor, and you're listening to
Speaker 1: the WWE podcast show.
Speaker 2: The one that Everybody wants.
Speaker 3: Me sixteen, so that we your ass is mynd.
Speaker 1: You're going to acknowledge me.
Speaker 2: What is going on? Everybody? And welcome to this week's
Speaker 2: episode of the Main Event Review with your host Daniel
Speaker 2: and today we're going to be again reviewing the Main
Speaker 2: Event matches that occurred on this week's episode that aired
Speaker 2: in Scotland, as well as the raw and SmackDown footagees
Speaker 2: that have also been chucked into the Main Event taping
Speaker 2: as well. So once again, thank you for listening in
Speaker 2: and we are getting very close to us and Meani
Speaker 2: I say this every week, but as every week I
Speaker 2: say it, it becomes closer and closer. We're only three
Speaker 2: weeks away now and boyer by am I excited for
Speaker 2: this year's WrestleMania, especially with the all the matches that
Speaker 2: are going to be I guess coming up and also
Speaker 2: what we're looking on with the road ahead and a
Speaker 2: few more promos to go on. We've seen Cody Rhodes
Speaker 2: and John Cena once again going head to head face
Speaker 2: to face and no punch is thrown this time, but
Speaker 2: again them going face to face and the same building
Speaker 2: in Scotland. We also got the triple threat match between Rollins,
Speaker 2: Punk and Rains, which has just been confirmed. We still
Speaker 2: don't know what's going on with the favor we've seem Punk,
Speaker 2: so that's going to be extremely interesting to see. We
Speaker 2: don't know where Paul Hayman's allegiance allegiances are, but I
Speaker 2: guess we'll find that out as we get closer to
Speaker 2: the road of WrestleMania. But we'll guest start the show
Speaker 2: with the first match of main event, where we had
Speaker 2: Dakota Kai taking on I've Know and the match finished
Speaker 2: with the GTK from Dakota Kai getting the victory here
Speaker 2: in what was a pretty decent match, back and forth
Speaker 2: action there with Dakota Kai getting the victory, and I
Speaker 2: suppose that that will mean she might have a say
Speaker 2: in the Intercontinental Championship. Are Women's Intercontinental Championship sweepstakes ivan
Speaker 2: with low of Valkyia actually not having an opponent, so
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure if that's actually going to be
Speaker 2: something for WrestleMania. What it's pretty disappointing is that obviously
Speaker 2: they've brought out the new titles, and they've wanted to
Speaker 2: obviously up the women's division by doing that, but there
Speaker 2: hasn't been any storylines that have got us really interested,
Speaker 2: really interested in it and like locked in because, to
Speaker 2: be honest, even back in SmackDown, we've got Zelena Vega
Speaker 2: kind of roaming around and everything, but it just doesn't
Speaker 2: seem that there's a road to WrestleMania for those two
Speaker 2: titles where we can be really excited for those matches,
Speaker 2: which is which is pretty unfortunate given that this is
Speaker 2: going to be the first wrestleman that has these two titles,
Speaker 2: whether they're going to be in the match or not,
Speaker 2: but the road towards that being involved. So yeah, no
Speaker 2: no thoughts or no kind of really hints on what's
Speaker 2: going to happen with the titles there. I did see
Speaker 2: Bailey and Laura of Valkyria last week fight off live
Speaker 2: Morgan Rico Rodriguez, so maybe they're going to be in
Speaker 2: a tag team. Maybe Bailey turns Hill, I'm not too sure.
Speaker 2: But Dakota Kai getting the victory against Ivy Nole basically yeah,
Speaker 2: it gives her momentum to potentially chase that title. But
Speaker 2: definitely rules out ivy now of of any chance of
Speaker 2: getting the title. Now she's had multiple title opportunities and
Speaker 2: she's also lost to Dakota Kai twice, so it doesn't
Speaker 2: seem like they're they're going to put her in that
Speaker 2: Intercontinental Championship run, which is a bit disappointing because there
Speaker 2: doesn't There doesn't seem to be anything else really that
Speaker 2: ivy El can do at the moment, So it would
Speaker 2: have been great for her to come up and coming
Speaker 2: up against Laara Valkyria, especially being face versus heel, but again,
Speaker 2: there's no real clear road to that title and a
Speaker 2: road to WrestleMania for Low of Alkia unfortunately, so we
Speaker 2: have to keep tracks on that as we still have
Speaker 2: three weeks to go, but you think at this point
Speaker 2: there would be rumblings of a potential storyline there. So
Speaker 2: it's pretty disappointing, and even the same in SmackDown with
Speaker 2: Chelsea Green not really having much with her as well.
Speaker 2: I know she's got this new secret Service thing going.
Speaker 2: It's given Albefire a chance to actually be relevant in
Speaker 2: the ww again without being with with Ala Dawn in
Speaker 2: the past. Also, Albafayre, sorry so yeah, not really sure
Speaker 2: what's going to happen with that either. So it's just yeah,
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, just a little bit of a rant
Speaker 2: on what they're going to really be doing with the
Speaker 2: women's titles or the mid card titles are going into
Speaker 2: WrestleMania is something that I want to see happen, but again,
Speaker 2: the cards are very stacked, so I can sort of
Speaker 2: understand why they haven't pushed it, but it's not really
Speaker 2: a good look considering that these titles are and they
Speaker 2: should really be featured in WrestleMania. But moving on, we
Speaker 2: get to Raw, where we see John Cena come out.
Speaker 2: He pulls out a promo. Again he seems to be
Speaker 2: getting a lot of heat, which is great, and he
Speaker 2: comes up with something that makes that's a little bit
Speaker 2: interesting for me, but again it doesn't really make sense
Speaker 2: in the gram scheme of things. The fact that okay,
Speaker 2: he wants to ruin wrestling by taking away the belt
Speaker 2: and being the last final champion that's happened before. We've ceampunk,
Speaker 2: but again, nothing really was significant that came out of that.
Speaker 2: WW can literally just put out a new belt and
Speaker 2: call that the WW champion Ship, and I don't really
Speaker 2: mind what John Cena is trying to do. I kind
Speaker 2: of understand, Okay, he's going to get his seventeenth and
Speaker 2: he's going to leave as the only real championship. It
Speaker 2: makes sense. But in a sense for him saying that
Speaker 2: if it ruins wrestling or not, it doesn't. It's not
Speaker 2: going to ruin wrestling in the hindsight of things. They're
Speaker 2: just going to create another championship. But this kind of
Speaker 2: makes me feel as though, Okay, if he does win
Speaker 2: it at WrestleMania, he's obviously has to be here towards
Speaker 2: December when he finishes, So I doubt he's gonna ruin
Speaker 2: wrestling and keep the title and walk away with him.
Speaker 2: So in a sense, okay, we don't expect that, But
Speaker 2: then it kind of just ruins a bit of the
Speaker 2: surprise that we have for John Cena in this final run.
Speaker 2: He's obviously not going to finish it as a champion
Speaker 2: with those comments, and if he does, I'm going to
Speaker 2: be very surprising if I'm honest, and we'll see how
Speaker 2: he quote unquotes was wrestling, but again, wasn't really a
Speaker 2: fan of that kind of I guess take and didn't
Speaker 2: really amount to anything. I guess with John Cena's He'll
Speaker 2: run there is an opportunity there to make a big
Speaker 2: story for him to get more heat and more booze,
Speaker 2: which is why he's probably implemented this. But again, another
Speaker 2: similar promo to last week, and obviously this is trying
Speaker 2: to lead up to WrestleMania as well. We then get
Speaker 2: Cody Rhodes coming into the ring basically saying if you
Speaker 2: want to take it from the fans, you have to
Speaker 2: take it away from me first, and then calling him
Speaker 2: out saying we can do this right now. Obviously John
Speaker 2: Cena pulling back, and we yet to see them lay
Speaker 2: hands on each other. Still, after I guess three weeks
Speaker 2: of since John Cena has turned hell and two appearances
Speaker 2: on Raw as well, I think we need The Rock
Speaker 2: to inject into this feud as well. We haven't seen
Speaker 2: the Rock at all. There's no news or any plans
Speaker 2: or announcements of him coming. That might be a good
Speaker 2: thing because he may just surprise us on a random show.
Speaker 2: It'd be good if we just get that. But at
Speaker 2: the same time, we know why John Cena has turned
Speaker 2: heel per se, but we haven't gone into the other
Speaker 2: element of him selling he sold to the Rock, and
Speaker 2: that's something that we are yet to discover and I
Speaker 2: really want to see being like that story being told
Speaker 2: as to how John Cena has those interactions with The
Speaker 2: Rock and how they're kind of aligned together on this
Speaker 2: feud and on this road and on this battle with
Speaker 2: Cody Rhoads. Because obviously you can see that they're trying
Speaker 2: to build up the tensions between Cody Rhoads and John Cena,
Speaker 2: but there is also the Rock that is a huge
Speaker 2: part to play in this. So that's also going to
Speaker 2: be something to look out for and I think something
Speaker 2: we need to see and we need to realize and
Speaker 2: understand why John Cena sold this Sold to the Rock
Speaker 2: per se. Anyways, moving forward, we move on to staying
Speaker 2: on Raw with the Women's World Heavyweight Championship promo that
Speaker 2: came on with Adam Pierce basically going out to the
Speaker 2: ring to put an announcement that we get after three
Speaker 2: interruptions our first being Eo Sky, then being Bianco Ballet,
Speaker 2: and then finally Rea Ripley. Adam Pierce basically confirms that
Speaker 2: rear Ripley will be defending the title, I mean getting
Speaker 2: a rematch against Eoskuy she'll be defending the title on
Speaker 2: next week's episode of Raw, which again was really weird
Speaker 2: because rear Ripley came out and then decided to not
Speaker 2: care about WrestleMania, say she doesn't care, but the week
Speaker 2: before she literally signed the contract saying she wanted to
Speaker 2: be part of WrestleMania, So that didn't really make sense.
Speaker 2: It would have just been more understanding and we would
Speaker 2: have been related more if Rea Ripley was acting out
Speaker 2: a desperation of wanting to be part of WrestleMania. I
Speaker 2: get that she wants her title back, but a good
Speaker 2: point was made by Bianca saying like, if you just
Speaker 2: want your title and you don't care about WrestleMania, you
Speaker 2: can obviously just wait till after the WrestleMania match occurs.
Speaker 2: And the fact that they're doing it before is very
Speaker 2: contradicting to what Rea Ripley has to say, and also,
Speaker 2: as mentioned, the signature being signed on the week before,
Speaker 2: so regardless of that they end up getting a match.
Speaker 2: It doesn't show here, but in the backstage they obviously
Speaker 2: Adam Pierce speaks to Bianco Bellet and basically and appoints
Speaker 2: her as the special guest referee. So based on that
Speaker 2: something is going to happen to continue this triple threat,
Speaker 2: whether Bianco Bella decides to attack rear Ripley and the
Speaker 2: match gets disqualified and they all get on a bit
Speaker 2: of a brawl to basically confirm that triple threat, with
Speaker 2: Adam Pierce leaving no choice. After Adam Pierce did, I
Speaker 2: forgot to mention clear the ring out. We did see
Speaker 2: a few choreographed kind of scuffles between the three, which
Speaker 2: was quite weird. I would have much preferred seeing what
Speaker 2: I saw them do backstage, them just beating the hell
Speaker 2: out of each other. It would have made a lot
Speaker 2: more sense. It just felt like they were just doing
Speaker 2: a bunch of super moves trying to probably prepare us
Speaker 2: for what's going to happen at WrestleMania. But it definitely
Speaker 2: didn't show that there was any tension between them, so
Speaker 2: which was a bit frustrating. It would have been nice
Speaker 2: to see them just beating the hell out of each other.
Speaker 2: Maybe a security clear out, but again just a bit
Speaker 2: more violence or more tensions rather than just a few
Speaker 2: choreographed events there. I'm not going to talk too much
Speaker 2: about the Bianco bell Air Booze don't really have an
Speaker 2: opinion on that, but again, I think we'll leave that
Speaker 2: to everyone's interpretation and what people have said and thought.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's what I'll leave it at that, And
Speaker 2: moving on to the next which was back to main
Speaker 2: event or we did before that, actually have just a
Speaker 2: little bit of a teaser basically confirming that the three
Speaker 2: seth Rowlins, Romemanz and Siam Punk will be fighting at WrestleMania,
Speaker 2: and then a little bit of a teaser as to
Speaker 2: the promos that they were made and everything else, and
Speaker 2: a little brawl there. So we get that triple threat
Speaker 2: matches I probably expected, but based on I guess what's happening,
Speaker 2: and with the favor and everything, we're going to find
Speaker 2: out whether it's going to be the main event or
Speaker 2: whether as I mentioned, the winner gets injected into a
Speaker 2: championship fight so on and so forth. So we'll have
Speaker 2: to wait and see. That's going to be really interesting.
Speaker 2: I'm very keen for that to be kind of revealed
Speaker 2: when it does happen. Then we get we go back
Speaker 2: to the main event where we have Xavier Woods taking
Speaker 2: on a cure Tazawa and this is just crazy. I
Speaker 2: think when the new Day come out to that heat.
Speaker 2: You can see the fans really booing and hating them,
Speaker 2: and then the way that they came out with such aggression,
Speaker 2: staring down the kids and making them flinch, like Xavier
Speaker 2: Woods pretending to hit one of the fans, ripping the
Speaker 2: signs and everything. Isn't it just crazy how we have
Speaker 2: John Cena, Covid Kingston's Zaviywoods as the New Day as
Speaker 2: both big heels right now. It's just it's just crazy
Speaker 2: how ww works like you would never have been able
Speaker 2: to picture one of them yet alone, both b heels
Speaker 2: ten years ago and getting massive heat along with the
Speaker 2: Rock too. But the Rock again has been a heel
Speaker 2: for a long time now, so that surprise element has gone.
Speaker 2: We get the match there between Yeah, Curro Tazawa, which
Speaker 2: is yep, the new the main event Staples David Woods
Speaker 2: gets the victory here and it comes from Covie Kingston
Speaker 2: when curataz was about to do the sent on, distracting
Speaker 2: him Otis attempting to barge Covie Kingston froze into the
Speaker 2: steel steps and then a Curate Tazawa diving onto to
Speaker 2: Kingston as well. And then once a Curate taza got
Speaker 2: into the ring, Zavie Woods hit a massive boot, which
Speaker 2: occurates as well, so it's extremely well doing two double
Speaker 2: flips and then finishing him off with the elbow there.
Speaker 2: That'll be great momentum for them. As I mentioned last
Speaker 2: week on RAW, I did see that they were going
Speaker 2: to claim a match with the war Raiders for the titles,
Speaker 2: So it seems as though that's going to be the
Speaker 2: next step for the New Day, which is something I
Speaker 2: proudly expected and predicted. So let's see how their road
Speaker 2: to wrestle Mania goes. Will be great to see them
Speaker 2: fight for the champions championships, and I feel like they
Speaker 2: thoroughly deserve it, and I still think that they need
Speaker 2: those tag team titles to get their kind of heel
Speaker 2: run going and possibly reawake the world tag team titles
Speaker 2: as well, because as much as the war Raiders I
Speaker 2: respect and I really like them, they haven't really done
Speaker 2: much with the titles and it hasn't been a run
Speaker 2: to remember per se. But if the New Day get
Speaker 2: it with their new heel gimmick and their heel run,
Speaker 2: I feel like they'll be able to open up that
Speaker 2: tag team division on RAW a lot more and also
Speaker 2: provide very good promos and some good potential feuds with
Speaker 2: our future tag teams as well, so we'll keep in
Speaker 2: track for their run as the WrestleMania comes closer to
Speaker 2: But again, a good victory for Woods shows that he
Speaker 2: can do a lot as a singles fighter as well,
Speaker 2: and I know he's with COVID Kingstons as well, but
Speaker 2: there might be potential for him to hopefully get a
Speaker 2: singles championship as well for his sake and for his
Speaker 2: career as well. I think he's truly deserved to have
Speaker 2: a run, and a heel run wouldn't be the worst
Speaker 2: thing either for him as well. We then move on
Speaker 2: to Raw, where we get the main events of Monday
Speaker 2: Night Raw, which was bron Breaker against Penta. We saw
Speaker 2: a pretty good back and forth match Breaker getting Penter
Speaker 2: with the Brakenstein, and as bron Breaker was about to
Speaker 2: spear Penter, we get the Judgment Day Carlito and Dom
Speaker 2: Mysteria coming out, getting up to their typical antiques, trying
Speaker 2: to distract bron Breaker and supposedly be helping Penter and
Speaker 2: taking him side, maybe as a ploy to get Penter
Speaker 2: into the judgment day, which was against Finn's request and
Speaker 2: against his back. Dominique then tries to distract the referee
Speaker 2: while Carlitter comes into the ring. Bron Breaker throws him out,
Speaker 2: gives him a bit of a spear, and then as
Speaker 2: he's about to get his eyes back on Penta, we
Speaker 2: see Dominique Mysteria take his legs out and beat him
Speaker 2: up from the back, which caused a disqualification. As I
Speaker 2: also predicted last week, I didn't see any of these
Speaker 2: two losing this close to WrestleMania wouldn't have made any sense. However,
Speaker 2: we do see a few chair shots from Domsterio. He
Speaker 2: then passes the chair to Penter Penter questioning what Dominiq
Speaker 2: Mysterio is doing. But it was great to see Penter
Speaker 2: grab the chair and kind of hype up the fans
Speaker 2: as to make him think for maybe one second that
Speaker 2: he would potentially hit bron Breaker. We all know that
Speaker 2: wasn't going to happen, but it was just cool how
Speaker 2: he hyped that up ended up hitting Dominique Mysterio, and
Speaker 2: then we did see Finn Bala come and attack Penta
Speaker 2: and bron Breaker. He then almost threatened to hit dominic
Speaker 2: with the chair but pulled back in the last second,
Speaker 2: and again there seems to be tensions between those two
Speaker 2: as well, So it does look like, and it hasn't
Speaker 2: been confirmed that these four are going to be fighting
Speaker 2: at Wressomania in a fatal four match. So I got
Speaker 2: three of the four right when I originally predicted aj
Speaker 2: Styles coming in instead of Penta, but when Penta did
Speaker 2: beat Kaiser, it did make sense for him to get
Speaker 2: involved in Intercontinental Championship kind of questions and a long
Speaker 2: line of this, So then four going to be battling
Speaker 2: out potentially, maybe there'll be some more things that will happen,
Speaker 2: but with Finnbala and Dominique Mysterira having their tensions, with
Speaker 2: Penter not being to have the opportunity to actually win
Speaker 2: that title off bron Breaker, and yeah, I guess bron
Speaker 2: Breaker having problems with the Judgment Day too. We're looking
Speaker 2: to get a fatal four way there as well. It'll
Speaker 2: be interesting to see if they can actually perform a
Speaker 2: bit of promos between the four, maybe bron Breaker getting
Speaker 2: into Pentur a bit and then also getting into the
Speaker 2: Judgment Day. My worry is that bron Breaker doesn't get
Speaker 2: the limelight in terms of kind of the storyline. He's
Speaker 2: just there because he's simply the title holder, but that
Speaker 2: might mean that he's obviously most likely going to keep
Speaker 2: his title post WrestleMania. But again, I think this feud
Speaker 2: is all about the Judgment Day imploding, Dominique Mysterior and
Speaker 2: Finnbala feuding, and also how Penta kind of gets his
Speaker 2: involvement in there with the request of him trying to
Speaker 2: join but obviously rejecting that by hitting Dominic with the
Speaker 2: steel chair, and the Judgment Day. Yeah, getting involved as
Speaker 2: they are so again going to be interesting. That is
Speaker 2: going to be something that we have to look for
Speaker 2: in the future. Whether they're confirmed the Fade or four
Speaker 2: Way or not, we'll have to wait and see. They'll
Speaker 2: probably talk about it, most likely on Raw. But again,
Speaker 2: with everything that's happening, I just want to mention how
Speaker 2: underwhelming again the Juso run is. We don't see anything
Speaker 2: on main event today. It's just crazy how a lot
Speaker 2: of these other matches are obviously the higher priority too.
Speaker 2: And without spoiling out, I know usually main Event goes
Speaker 2: behind one week, but essentially because of that, SmackDown usually
Speaker 2: gets published the day before this main event episode comes out.
Speaker 2: So basically the events that happened on SmackDown confirmed that
Speaker 2: they're going to get the Night one main event, and
Speaker 2: I did kind of mention this at the very start
Speaker 2: when Juso won the row rumble that not necessarily they
Speaker 2: will get to headline and be the main event show
Speaker 2: off a Night one. It was looking like that was
Speaker 2: going to be the case, but I think WW definitely
Speaker 2: backtracked on that, and that's hardly got to do with
Speaker 2: how underwhelming this run has been and it's extremely disappointing.
Speaker 2: I think the way that they've done it is just
Speaker 2: been poor. And I don't think Jay Uso has helped
Speaker 2: as well because his mic work hasn't been the best.
Speaker 2: It's been good seeing Jimmy getting involved. You can see
Speaker 2: Jimmy is a lot more comfortable on the microphone and
Speaker 2: he's definitely helping this few big times. So hopefully that
Speaker 2: slap kind of made this a bit more interesting because
Speaker 2: it was a big wax lab surprised how well Gunha
Speaker 2: actually took that, but again that's probably creating a little
Speaker 2: bit of heat, but that's nothing to do with what
Speaker 2: Jay has done. It's more to do with how Jimmy
Speaker 2: has kind of come in and sort of assisted this run.
Speaker 2: So hopefully when they do fight, Ganha does something really
Speaker 2: bad to Jimmy to make this a bit more personal
Speaker 2: and maybe we can see a bit more of an
Speaker 2: interesting storyline. But for now that has been extremely dead
Speaker 2: and it's just a shame to see because it's really
Speaker 2: going to affect jay Uso and I think that because
Speaker 2: of that, he's already lost his main event match. But
Speaker 2: I think it also warrants Guntherha retaining the title too,
Speaker 2: but we'll have to wait and see what the decision
Speaker 2: will be, and we still got three weeks left. So
Speaker 2: the reason why I'm talking about it is because I
Speaker 2: really do hope that this storyline can get a bit
Speaker 2: more interesting and it can get better because I am
Speaker 2: a big fan of Jusso. I really like the yeat movement.
Speaker 2: I really like how he connects with the fans, and
Speaker 2: I do like his story coming out as a singles superstar,
Speaker 2: being attacked Team Champion and being attacked him wrestler for
Speaker 2: his whole career. I really want to see him yeah
Speaker 2: developed well. And I also want Guntha to have a
Speaker 2: memorable Championship run, not just versing superstars that he dominates
Speaker 2: and he underwhelms and I don't want this run to
Speaker 2: end with him losing it because I don't think it's
Speaker 2: fair on him. I don't think it really is his fault.
Speaker 2: He is deserving of a long championship run, and he
Speaker 2: is also deserving of versing opponents that are of high
Speaker 2: status to where you might think he will lose the
Speaker 2: match and you might think that it's going to be
Speaker 2: a big challenge and him going over the top of
Speaker 2: that will be good. So yeah, keeping track for those.
Speaker 2: But again, this has been another main event review. I'll
Speaker 2: be back again next week to review what's going on.
Speaker 2: Not really too much to discuss this week. I feel
Speaker 2: like next week is where things are going to ramp
Speaker 2: up a lot more. This week was pretty similar to
Speaker 2: last week, and now going back to the United States,
Speaker 2: I think, as I said, it's going to ramp up
Speaker 2: a bit more and we're going to see the cards
Speaker 2: shaping up and finally going to get confirmed all the
Speaker 2: matches that's gonna happen at WrestleMania, and I'm extremely excited
Speaker 2: for that because we are three weeks away. So again,
Speaker 2: thank you guys for tuning in. Also going to say
Speaker 2: it one more time, bologies again, but don't forget to
Speaker 2: tune into my own podcast where I talk about sports
Speaker 2: beyond the game. It's called The Huddle Within, and yeah,
Speaker 2: be sure to check that out as well. But without
Speaker 2: further I hope you guys have a lovely week and
Speaker 2: weekend and I will catch you guys next week. Cheers.
