Speaker 1: Welcome to the end of Effect.
Speaker 2: What's your host the Old Wrestling Hu, Charie's Horror and
Speaker 2: Alex Kokito We cover Dobby Devons play My Play Madness.
Speaker 3: Hello everyone, welcome to episode sixty eight of The Evolve Effect.
Speaker 3: I am one of your hosts in the Day's thirty
Speaker 3: three along with Shauna Reads Horror as always. Want to
Speaker 3: thank the Wrestling super Friendos Network for having us on.
Speaker 3: Alex Kakita will be joining us in a moment. How
Speaker 3: was your day, your week, your Evolved watching experience?
Speaker 1: It was good.
Speaker 4: I was loving all of the socials yesterday leading up
Speaker 4: into Like it seemed like all of the superstars were
Speaker 4: doing something on their socials yesterday, which was a lot
Speaker 4: of fun.
Speaker 1: So I was excited.
Speaker 4: So I knew it was going to be a good
Speaker 4: episode when they were all hanging out on social media
Speaker 4: all day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was pretty cool to build the
Speaker 3: lead up to Evolve Like, like she said, everyone was
Speaker 3: building it up, hyping it up.
Speaker 5: I was like seeing so.
Speaker 3: Many things on like Twitter, and I didn't really go
Speaker 3: on Instagram that much yesterday because I didn't want to
Speaker 3: be spoiled about too much. But just the promos and
Speaker 3: everything was good, Capri uh, lady luck it was it Sloan,
Speaker 3: Sloan Jacobs. Yeah, everybody was doing their part.
Speaker 1: Even Wren was in there.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, everybody was thrown in her hat in the ring.
Speaker 5: So that was that was pretty cool, all right.
Speaker 3: So let's see we had another I guess now it's
Speaker 3: not even like another. We had another another code open,
Speaker 3: which is the norm, but it's always different code opening.
Speaker 3: So this time we had Sloan just basically setting up
Speaker 3: the party. For the most part, we didn't get the
Speaker 3: normal rundown of the whole show, just the rundown of
Speaker 3: this mega event that's about to happen on Evolve this
Speaker 3: evening for the keta lines and how great the keta
Speaker 3: lines is and blah blah blah.
Speaker 5: So I actually, I actually liked that. That was pretty cool.
Speaker 3: It was a little different, just because now we started
Speaker 3: get used to run down. They said, Okay, nope, it's
Speaker 3: the most important thing on earth and that's all I'm
Speaker 3: going to talk about. I don't care about anything else
Speaker 3: that goes on the show. So who would you think
Speaker 3: about this opening?
Speaker 4: I liked it because I think it really tied into
Speaker 4: everything we had seen online earlier. I love the fact
Speaker 4: with the cold open because I think it's a good
Speaker 4: way to kind of introduce people to evolve that they
Speaker 4: don't know what's going on. I've always enjoyed that, so
Speaker 4: I kind of thought there would have been a little
Speaker 4: bit more foreshadowing with Sloan in the celebration with her
Speaker 4: doing it, so it was really great. So it kind
Speaker 4: of led to the entire like I knew this was
Speaker 4: going to be dogs and cats living in chaos happening.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I love the cold open and I love
Speaker 4: the fact that someone different every week.
Speaker 1: Also, it's not the same.
Speaker 4: It's not Thatcher saying hey here's what's happening, or Blake
Speaker 4: coming out, but it's someone different every week.
Speaker 1: I think really adds to that.
Speaker 4: Because it introduces the superstar is a little bit more
Speaker 4: to the people that are just tuning into avall for
Speaker 4: the first time, or you know, are those casual watchers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that, like like the comic books Twitter
Speaker 3: used to be back in my day as a kid,
Speaker 3: it's always somebody's first comic. It's always someone's first evance.
Speaker 3: It's it's on TV. So it's a good way, like
Speaker 3: you said, that introduced to people and the cold open.
Speaker 3: It always has something to do with the episode.
Speaker 5: It's something that you're about to watch, so you could
Speaker 5: kind of go into a cold it's almost like a
Speaker 5: recap almost sometimes, but yeah, you can be your very
Speaker 5: first episode. You don't know what's going on, but we
Speaker 5: know something important's about to happen.
Speaker 4: So that was good because I think a lot of
Speaker 4: times on the main you know, if you're watching the
Speaker 4: main roster, it's just mainly that recap of what's happened,
Speaker 4: not what's gonna happen. So I like that it's kind
Speaker 4: of like, here's what's happening, continuing with this storyline.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like you're saying, it's also different than what
Speaker 3: every show is doing because most wrestling shows, even though
Speaker 3: the graphics might be different, but the formula is pretty
Speaker 3: much the same. Even on NXT, it's it just looks
Speaker 3: a little bit different, but it's the same formula, like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is what kind of happened last week, and may
Speaker 3: were introduced some matches that we didn't tell you about beforehand,
Speaker 3: like they always do in the ww.
Speaker 5: NXT's a lot better than the main roster Main Roster.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you don't know it till like day of at
Speaker 3: least NXC, they kind of promote it and you'll have
Speaker 3: some surprises, but for most part, the big stuff they promote.
Speaker 3: So let me see what happens next. Oh, I believe
Speaker 3: next was the very first match.
Speaker 5: Sort of, Yes, it was sort of the very first
Speaker 5: match because we come up with the mod Squad just
Speaker 5: coming out because you know, it's hot boyd summer and everything,
Speaker 5: so the mod Squad comes out there. Basically Max ab
Speaker 5: were just hyping up the crew ta about how have a.
Speaker 3: Good job they did last week and blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: That's how it starred off than they actually. I guess mogg.
Speaker 3: I guess I'm using it as a verb now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guessing. I still go final fantasy.
Speaker 1: Every time they say mog squad. My head still goes,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, the mog. Like every time I'm like, we're
Speaker 1: getting a Google what is happening?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So would you think about this whole like the open
Speaker 3: before we get into like, uh, what leads up to
Speaker 3: the first match?
Speaker 4: I thought it was really good because I mean, they're mogging.
Speaker 4: I looked it up on Urban Dictionary. It's something about
Speaker 4: I don't I don't remember, and it fits with them,
Speaker 4: they're just this taunting. They think they're better than everybody else,
Speaker 4: So they got to come out and and talk about it.
Speaker 4: But it was really good to to What I liked
Speaker 4: about it was for people that haven't been watching the
Speaker 4: way they did it, Max was able to introduce every
Speaker 4: single and it was great because it was a taunt
Speaker 4: about how good we are. But if you haven't been
Speaker 4: watching or you don't know who was who, it was
Speaker 4: a great introduction to say, hey, so I think it
Speaker 4: worked two ways like that hunt, but let's introduce you
Speaker 4: to everybody in case you don't know who everybody is,
Speaker 4: which we don't get that a lot on the other
Speaker 4: rosters we've got a group like like take Dark State
Speaker 4: for example, they just come out as the three of them.
Speaker 4: There's no real introduction like on who they.
Speaker 5: Are like this, they assume that you already know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and here it's like, hey, let's do a refresh
Speaker 4: on who everybody is in the group, which is why
Speaker 4: I liked it for the Twofold, for the storyline, and
Speaker 4: for the hey here's who everybody is.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 3: And also we now know there's a four person groupment
Speaker 3: you always usually you have your leader, you have your
Speaker 3: tag team, and maybe you're enforced.
Speaker 5: And they were able to pretty much establish all right,
Speaker 5: Santi ball, they're the tag team of the group. Well,
Speaker 5: Valor Valor Valor.
Speaker 1: Hey no, and I his and his course his real
Speaker 1: name is Jimmy, so I always say Jimmy.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 5: He also posted on a social media that.
Speaker 3: His was a pretty funny too, uh yesterday, but I
Speaker 3: caught it caught a little bit later. But uh yeah,
Speaker 3: I think they did a really good job of just
Speaker 3: introducing everybody and the role in the group and what
Speaker 3: they're kind of about. I like that, but I might
Speaker 3: have liked it. You know who did not like it?
Speaker 3: The foreman, Foreman Thatcher did not like it at all.
Speaker 3: And oh, before I even get to that, we had
Speaker 3: a special guest announcer special edition of Evolved, Welcome back
Speaker 3: Robert Stone, the Boss Stone, and he's a little bit different.
Speaker 3: The commentary is still the same, but he is for
Speaker 3: those who don't know, uh, the foreman. The general manager
Speaker 3: of Evolve is Timmy Thatcher, but Evolve is still under NXT.
Speaker 3: Robert Stone is a general manager of NXT, which means
Speaker 3: he is Thatcher's boss.
Speaker 5: So so we get that like out of way.
Speaker 3: But he used to be on commentary for the longest
Speaker 3: time before he got elevated, so it was nice to
Speaker 3: see him back. And I just in my just imagine
Speaker 3: it's because of the Kia Liance celebration. Who knows why,
Speaker 3: what really why he was really there, but it was
Speaker 3: a good So.
Speaker 4: Here's what upset me with his comment, Like, I was
Speaker 4: excited to see him back, so he was like, Hey,
Speaker 4: I haven't been watching what's going on? I came down
Speaker 4: to see some of the talent, right, which makes sense.
Speaker 4: Some of the talent's been doing this back and forth.
Speaker 4: So it was like, you haven't been watching, so you're
Speaker 4: not watching what you're supposed to be in charge of
Speaker 4: as a boss.
Speaker 1: And also half of this talent's been showing up on
Speaker 1: your roster. What do you mean you don't know what's
Speaker 1: been going on. I think he should have been like, hey,
Speaker 1: just checking in. You know, I've had a lot of
Speaker 1: your people up here. Things have been going on.
Speaker 5: Though.
Speaker 1: I thought i'd stop it and say hi, but it
Speaker 1: kind of made like I don't pay attention to what's
Speaker 1: going on.
Speaker 4: So I'm down here, I'm looking for talent, and I'm
Speaker 4: like you do see the talent. What are you talking
Speaker 4: or or what?
Speaker 5: It cleaned it up a little bit if he said, oh,
Speaker 5: I haven't been able to see him in person, which
Speaker 5: would be a little bit like Okay, I caught it
Speaker 5: on to me.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah, and you know, another way to promote
Speaker 3: t He's like, oh, I can't watch it.
Speaker 5: Like live on Wednesdays.
Speaker 3: But I go back and I watched the show and
Speaker 3: every thing, but I want to come down here and
Speaker 3: see with my own two I seated person, because you know,
Speaker 3: it is different watching wrestling in person, like when running
Speaker 3: it rawls, like people thought it was bad, going to
Speaker 3: the extra show is actually pretty fun. Just watching the
Speaker 3: crowd and watching it in person. It's a lot better
Speaker 3: than watching on TV. If you could believe it.
Speaker 5: If you embarrass it, then y'all can take my word
Speaker 5: for it.
Speaker 4: But yeah, that was the only thing that really upset
Speaker 4: me that I was like, that doesn't It's kind of like, oh,
Speaker 4: I'm not paying attention, but all your people keep showing
Speaker 4: up on my programming.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know who they are. So I
Speaker 1: was like, dude, what do you do?
Speaker 4: Like I can get the mog squad because they really
Speaker 4: haven't been there. But a lot of the other talent,
Speaker 4: as we saw this past Tuesday night, every single person
Speaker 4: that won on NXT was an evolved person.
Speaker 3: This last Tuesday night is like it was we went
Speaker 3: to We went from Evolved Junior High to Evolve High School.
Speaker 3: As NXT starting to become Evolve High School, it's what's becoming.
Speaker 4: And I think I want to kind of like flin
Speaker 4: through some stuff again. All of the backstage segments was
Speaker 4: evolved people except for me, said Mason was really on
Speaker 4: NXT this past week, the only like really non evolved.
Speaker 1: Person you had.
Speaker 4: Shilah was in a match, but like really it was
Speaker 4: Mason and all of the backstage segments and the Winds
Speaker 4: was like one of the only non evolved people.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I just had to get that out of
Speaker 3: the way because Stone Hitt and everybody knows, I'm a
Speaker 3: mark for Robert Stone, even back when he was managing
Speaker 3: the Outliers, even though the out Liars team that make
Speaker 3: it on TV at the house shows and he had
Speaker 3: them thirty red glowing slippers because that's what they were,
Speaker 3: but he was sharp for them and I used to
Speaker 3: tag them all the time on Twitter followed me back
Speaker 3: back then, so that was actually pretty cool, like way
Speaker 3: before I got into this streaming stuff. But anyway, for Foreman,
Speaker 3: Thatcher shows up and he is not pleased about the
Speaker 3: about the Shenana kids from last week, even though in
Speaker 3: the Mosquad defense they.
Speaker 5: Really didn't do anything any too dasherly they were kind
Speaker 5: of art, but that like it. So basically he was like, okay,
Speaker 5: y'all and they were bragging about nonether people got eliminated
Speaker 5: from the week before, so that's was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 5: no one got a limited all right, so we need
Speaker 5: a tag team the the basically, I don't know, show
Speaker 5: you something or put your place with last ee. It
Speaker 5: wasn't a fluke and lo and behold we have noam
Speaker 5: Dar and Romeo Moreno shows up, which was which was good.
Speaker 3: I actually I actually did like this match. What did
Speaker 3: you What did you think of this match?
Speaker 5: Before?
Speaker 1: I really liked it.
Speaker 4: I think it's really solidifying them as a tag team
Speaker 4: on both brands, which is good.
Speaker 1: So I think it's kind of funny. On NXT they're
Speaker 1: like Romeo's like, please be my tag partner.
Speaker 4: Look, we can do this and we can be really
Speaker 4: good and on NXT we're like, well we're here, We're
Speaker 4: a tag team.
Speaker 1: So I find that kind of funny. I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 4: I thought it was great another showing for them, and
Speaker 4: I thought for Santi and Jakari too.
Speaker 1: You know, it was like the Mob Squad this whole segment.
Speaker 4: With both of those math they needed to take the loss,
Speaker 4: like at some point they needed to take the loss,
Speaker 4: and I thought this was a great way for them
Speaker 4: to take the loss. So I found that very entertaining.
Speaker 4: I'm just so glad Noam Dar's back. I hope he
Speaker 4: stays healthy so we can keep him around for a
Speaker 4: little bit. Please don't be injury prone again, please.
Speaker 1: But I think it just.
Speaker 4: Really solidifies him and Romeo and I just like the
Speaker 4: friendship aspect they have on Evolve and it's that mentor
Speaker 4: expect on NXT. So it's really fun to see the
Speaker 4: two different like workings of them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with that, and I think I could
Speaker 5: be mistaken, but the way it kind of looks like,
Speaker 5: I wonder if Noam Dar has the Andre Chase.
Speaker 1: Role now because of a segment we see later m.
Speaker 5: HM and we have a nod if you know, it's evolved.
Speaker 3: There's not too many older people unevolved and everything, So
Speaker 3: I wonder if he's like a litti batto type where
Speaker 3: he comes in like more like to Menser or kind
Speaker 3: of coached them up type of differ. But he's still
Speaker 3: a good wrestler, so I can wrestle too, and he
Speaker 3: can guide Moreno, like you said, the mentser thing, but
Speaker 3: also like the rest with people. And for those of
Speaker 3: you who don't know Thatcher, because there might be somebody new,
Speaker 3: listen to the podcast Thatcher's also considered the player coach.
Speaker 5: Even though he is a general manager.
Speaker 3: He still wrestles mostly on the independent circuit with the
Speaker 3: ID guys, but he has wrestled a couple of times
Speaker 3: and evolved.
Speaker 5: It happens. Doesn't happen that often, but it happens. So
Speaker 5: just yeah that out there.
Speaker 1: When I saw him at the ID showcase, he was
Speaker 1: the person he was wrestling, was going to get a
Speaker 1: contract if they beat him. And then that weekend he
Speaker 1: was doing a two days of scouting.
Speaker 4: So whenever they do those, you know, for someone out
Speaker 4: there that's like, hey, I want, you know, to get
Speaker 4: my name in front of that. See if those ID
Speaker 4: showcases watch because Thatcher was doing those matches for scouting
Speaker 4: at those showcases.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I went to an ID showcase myself last
Speaker 3: summer at Thatcher he was wrestling at that event too.
Speaker 5: That's a big dude he is.
Speaker 1: And I asked him and I talked to him.
Speaker 4: I didn't get the interview on camera, but I was
Speaker 4: talking to him because I was really nervous because he
Speaker 4: was just hanging out and I was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 4: I can't asking questions.
Speaker 1: Super sweet, so nice, so funny.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So, speaking of Thatcher, after this loss, we have
Speaker 5: the mock squad licking their runs, picking up the pieces,
Speaker 5: dragging each other to the locker room. But Thatcher's like,
Speaker 5: he's not done with mock squad yet, So not so fast?
Speaker 5: Where you at think y'all going? So who was Ball
Speaker 5: in the match? Last week?
Speaker 3: We had Ball, Santi and Valor with Max Abras on
Speaker 3: the outside. So we just had a match with Ball.
Speaker 3: It's Santi, I mean, c J.
Speaker 5: Valor, it's your turn now, Like out of nowhere, they're
Speaker 5: carrying their wounded to the back.
Speaker 3: He's like, no, you have a match now too. And
Speaker 3: Alex pretty much told me on my stream I was
Speaker 3: doing my life. She was like, it's gonna be CJ
Speaker 3: versus JD. He spread it up, but I couldn't think.
Speaker 5: Of what it was. Oh, hold on all that we meet?
Speaker 5: I don't know. My backup phone just rang. Oh no,
Speaker 5: it's like a spam f Like I don't need to
Speaker 5: pick it up, and like no one has a number,
Speaker 5: but spam must have it all it. Oh wait, go
Speaker 5: ahead and talk about this spet Okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So we did see and I will say coming
Speaker 4: out and they're like they're going to do a match
Speaker 4: and I was like, who is this match going to
Speaker 4: be between? And then all of a sudden, the Dark
Speaker 4: State music hit and I went, are you freaking kidding me?
Speaker 4: We're doing Cutler James again? Like I literally looked at
Speaker 4: my husband and I said, why are we doing Cutler
Speaker 4: James again?
Speaker 5: Can we not see?
Speaker 1: And I was like what are we doing? Are we
Speaker 1: trying to give him a character?
Speaker 4: Like what is happening? I was like, there's plenty of
Speaker 4: other people. I think at this point we should have
Speaker 4: had someone from one point, oh or you know, something else,
Speaker 4: not Cutler James again, And like I was like, can
Speaker 4: we move on? But it was really good because they
Speaker 4: were just like, oh man, and it was a good match.
Speaker 4: I see J's a great wrestler. He you know, he
Speaker 4: does have that one indie title. I can't remember which
Speaker 4: one it is, but I just the only thing that
Speaker 4: got me on it was I was just like, why
Speaker 4: is it Cutler James again?
Speaker 1: And in the end, you know, it was fun.
Speaker 4: We had a heel versus heel match, which you don't
Speaker 4: get that that often, so that was gonna be like, hey,
Speaker 4: how is this gonna, you know, play out? But in
Speaker 4: the end, Cutler did get the win. And I will
Speaker 4: say one thing I did love the whole entire time
Speaker 4: is every time they shot to the couch and Thatcher
Speaker 4: was just staring them down and I'm like, are you
Speaker 4: aggravated because of the security thing and then what all?
Speaker 4: But the look on his face was just like this
Speaker 4: is great and I Am just gonna stare a hole
Speaker 4: through your soul right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah. When I was watching it too, I was thinking,
Speaker 5: I'm like, is this a heel versus heel match? Or
Speaker 5: is Cutler James or they're trying to reposition him somehow?
Speaker 3: And I think we were talking about this on the
Speaker 3: Evolved Review show that's at nine pm on PUWF Wrestling
Speaker 3: on YouTube live. So if you want to check that out,
Speaker 3: how he doesn't really have like a personality, like he's
Speaker 3: like kind of like a stone cold killer.
Speaker 5: And I wonder if they did that.
Speaker 3: Because they're like, Okay, he's a heel blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: But if he's doing this, oh, he's just he's just
Speaker 3: a tool at this point, Like he doesn't hate them
Speaker 3: or anything. He's just Okay, I'm just out here to
Speaker 3: do a job. And what I do is I hurt people.
Speaker 3: Because he was stowed the entire time, almost like almost
Speaker 3: like Thatcher. He's just wrestling, doing his thing. He's not
Speaker 3: getting mad.
Speaker 5: He's just just a machine.
Speaker 3: And I did like the fact that Thatcher's out there
Speaker 3: for both matches because even though you had the mob squad, okay,
Speaker 3: if the ref doesn't the same thing, that's still the
Speaker 3: general manager. So you're not gonna do any shenanigans because
Speaker 3: he's right there looking at that's going on.
Speaker 5: You're not going to get anything by him.
Speaker 3: So I did like that because they couldn't really do
Speaker 3: anyan against this time. They did one thing attack much,
Speaker 3: but I can't really say it was it's kind of
Speaker 3: got one of the guys out the way, or I
Speaker 3: think they pulled they pulled somebody out the rings, so
Speaker 3: he didn't get pinned.
Speaker 5: That was it. So it's a little something, but that's
Speaker 5: that's the only thing that happened. And Valor, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Every time I see Valor is it. Does he have
Speaker 3: different gear like every time I see him or something
Speaker 3: I think he.
Speaker 1: Does, and I noticed it's different.
Speaker 4: And on the indies he does costumes too every now
Speaker 4: and then, which I really think is funny. Yeah, he'll
Speaker 4: do random costumes on the indies. But yeah, he's always
Speaker 4: looking different. They were, of course, they all kind of
Speaker 4: color coordinated, though they were all in their gold, which
Speaker 4: was which was great that they color coordinated.
Speaker 1: That just adds to their whole entire personality.
Speaker 5: It's just that, like Santi and Bald, they're just so recognizable.
Speaker 3: Like Valor, he does something with his hair, the gear
Speaker 3: could be completely different, Like I know who he is,
Speaker 3: but every time I see him, it's like a Then
Speaker 3: sometimes you do a double look to make sure it's
Speaker 3: really him and everything, because I'm like, oh, he.
Speaker 5: Looks so different from week to week. But I like that.
Speaker 3: That's that's pretty good. But his character, he started develop
Speaker 3: his character like a lot more I've noticed on on
Speaker 3: the Evolves side. So so now that we have Valor
Speaker 3: licking his wounds, we have everybody trying to huddle up,
Speaker 3: trying to carry each other back to the locker room again.
Speaker 5: But there we go. Thatcher is still not finished yet.
Speaker 5: He's not done. It says, Max, where you think you're going?
Speaker 5: And it was like, oh my god, we're about to
Speaker 5: get another match. He said, no, he's gonna give him
Speaker 5: a break. He said, I'm gonna give you a break.
Speaker 5: But he set up a match for him for next week.
Speaker 5: So who is he fighting next week? He's fighting uh
Speaker 5: a star boy?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, they said, you've seen him on TNA, you've
Speaker 3: seen him on NXT and they've already previously had a match.
Speaker 5: So I wonder if it might go different next time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because their match is where because Max now has
Speaker 1: the I D Championship and starboarys I have that championship,
Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see how that which I
Speaker 1: still don't understand why that championship belt does not make
Speaker 1: it on the screen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now, the fact that you have the Evolved belt
Speaker 3: making it on NXT. You would think they could at
Speaker 3: least say something. But even if you don't show the belt,
Speaker 3: at least mention it in the graphic. And it's just
Speaker 3: like I always say, just put stipulation it could only
Speaker 3: be defended on it can't be defendant and evolved only
Speaker 3: on an independent seam. That's why, like maybe that's why
Speaker 3: we don't wear it or blah blah blah. But he
Speaker 3: is the I D Champion, you know, just something like that.
Speaker 3: Even in this graphic, you just put w I D
Speaker 3: Champion on the yeah, graphic his name just something.
Speaker 1: To technoledge it or even and when they show the graphic,
Speaker 1: like have him have the belt like on.
Speaker 5: His shoulder or something, you know like that, Yeah, it's like,
Speaker 5: yeah he does.
Speaker 3: They don't really carry it here because they know they
Speaker 3: can't defend here or make make up something.
Speaker 5: Long'd you say something that It's like, all right, at
Speaker 5: least we've.
Speaker 1: Seen like I just use Jordan Grace and Joe Hendry
Speaker 1: when they had the TNA Championships, they showed up on
Speaker 1: WWE with them. They didn't defend them, but they had
Speaker 1: them on.
Speaker 3: So so it was like, I don't know what the
Speaker 3: real reason is why they don't do it and everything.
Speaker 3: I'm like, like I heard a story about like I
Speaker 3: think Ava was on a podcast recently talking about like
Speaker 3: like a lot of stuff they have, they have to
Speaker 3: travel with it and everything, like, uh, like I guess
Speaker 3: he was talking about Petrovitch because oh there's a girl
Speaker 3: that has a sword and yeah, she's gotta check that
Speaker 3: thing in at the airport and sometimes just because you know,
Speaker 3: a hassle and everything like that. So maybe they don't
Speaker 3: want to like lose I don't know, maybe don't want
Speaker 3: to lose the belt, or maybe the belt stays and
Speaker 3: stays there until a n ID showcase shows up.
Speaker 1: Maybe something because it's weird.
Speaker 4: I'm just like, why can't Like when I saw him
Speaker 4: with the showcase, Laney had her title, you know, so
Speaker 4: and Aaron had the evolved title.
Speaker 3: So I was like, maybe Thatcher holds onto the title
Speaker 3: to make sure that happens to him because he's used
Speaker 3: at the ID showcases.
Speaker 4: And you have to wonder too, and this is to
Speaker 4: go on that too, taping it so far in advance,
Speaker 4: so we Wendy had the title. But this whole entire
Speaker 4: time where we're watching Nikki have Wendy have the title.
Speaker 4: We know Nikita has won the title, so maybe they
Speaker 4: keep it in a central location due to that fact
Speaker 4: to be like, hey, because of the pre I don't know.
Speaker 4: This is something we are going to have to find out.
Speaker 4: I think I have some content now that I'm going
Speaker 4: to be like, I'm inquiring minds, would like to know
Speaker 4: how does this logistically work with a pre taped show.
Speaker 1: In the titles?
Speaker 3: Huh yeah, that's the only thing that really irks me,
Speaker 3: the ID titles, the situation. But yeah, this will probably
Speaker 3: what be their third match, because I remember they had
Speaker 3: the matter to evolved, but Max actually won then, like
Speaker 3: what a couple of days later or a week later,
Speaker 3: he woned the with the Nightmare Factory, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it said the Nightmare Factory show case you.
Speaker 5: Out, and he beat him there for the ID Championship.
Speaker 3: And I'm actually surprised we got Starboy back. I thought
Speaker 3: that I thought we might not ever see him again
Speaker 3: it evolved. I thought, maybe, you know, they did that
Speaker 3: for NXC bound stuff. But yeah, so that's the match
Speaker 3: for next week. They've set that up.
Speaker 5: Let me see, what was the next thing that happened
Speaker 5: on the program. Uh? So, I got looking at my notes.
Speaker 1: We saw Aaron and Harlem had their that's right talk backstage.
Speaker 5: Yes, and this is what I'm saying. I'm thinking the
Speaker 5: budget might have been increased with these tapeings. I really
Speaker 5: do think last week's episode was not a part of
Speaker 5: these tapeings. The way it felt like he just felt
Speaker 5: differently and storylines that we were like, oh, didn't make sense.
Speaker 3: Some things they did address during this episode, so I'm like,
Speaker 3: maybe they knew. But yeah, we had a little backstage
Speaker 3: segment in the NXC backstage area, but from a different
Speaker 3: camera angle with some purple lighting to make it look
Speaker 3: like we've never seen this every time on NXT. I
Speaker 3: do like it, but the camera quality was better, something
Speaker 3: like trying to get to their cinematic bag a little bit,
Speaker 3: and I like, I liked it basically, just it's a
Speaker 3: little weird because harm Loss is not He's definitely almost
Speaker 3: a tweeener.
Speaker 5: But more on the light side of the force.
Speaker 3: It seems like he doesn't like Okay, he wants the title,
Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily hate Aaron, he just wants the title. And
Speaker 3: basically Aaron was as we all know lately, it's almost
Speaker 3: almost a running joke how harm Lewis always talks about
Speaker 3: his origin because of the praxic cole thing.
Speaker 5: So I like the first thing that Aaron said, like, look,
Speaker 5: I don't want to hear I don't want to hear
Speaker 5: your backstory. Like he doesn't need it.
Speaker 3: He knows what, he knows, what he can do, blah
Speaker 3: blah blah, So like we don't have to rehask that
Speaker 3: we yet and grilled. Yeah, ingrained it in our brains
Speaker 3: for like the last month. So he's like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: I got it, I got it. Hold on and he's like,
Speaker 3: basically like he came from home beginnings too. He knows
Speaker 3: what it's like. And I just thought it was.
Speaker 5: Nice because everybody forget like I guess because Aaron Work's demeanor.
Speaker 3: He is one of the toughest people on Evolved. He
Speaker 3: has a main streak, but because of his demeanor, you think,
Speaker 3: oh he does. I'm like, if you haven't watched a product,
Speaker 3: I need to watch a part this man. People are
Speaker 3: literally scared this man of all bullies are scared of
Speaker 3: Aaron Rourke, Like legit, So what'd you think about this
Speaker 3: backstage segment?
Speaker 1: I really liked it.
Speaker 4: I think it was a different like Harlem, I think,
Speaker 4: and I think Harlem's like backstory, the origin the came
Speaker 4: because of that Braxton cold storyline. Because it just seemed
Speaker 4: like it was the same over and over again.
Speaker 1: I really liked this. It was a different side of Harlem.
Speaker 1: It made you at the end kind of be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I kind of want to see him whin Like I
Speaker 1: love Aaron. I don't want Aaron to lose the title.
Speaker 4: But in the like some of the stuff, like where
Speaker 4: he was like being very heartfelt and just a very
Speaker 4: genuine person and not trying to play up.
Speaker 1: Like any of that stuff.
Speaker 4: It made you go, yeah, we really like yeah, I
Speaker 4: kind of I get where he's coming from, which was
Speaker 4: really nice. And I liked how Aaron was like, Dude,
Speaker 4: you know we're different, but we're the same. You know,
Speaker 4: this match is going to be about respect, Like what
Speaker 4: you did for me was great. This is why I'm
Speaker 4: giving you this title shot. You've deserved it. So I
Speaker 4: really liked it because it wasn't that whole entire you know,
Speaker 4: I'm coming after you, You're coming after me. It was
Speaker 4: just a nice It felt like a gentleman's agreement for
Speaker 4: this match, like an old fashioned gentleman's agreement, like you
Speaker 4: just for what you did for me, I'm gonna give
Speaker 4: you what you've been looking for.
Speaker 1: May the best man win.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And because I haven't watched it Evolved from the
Speaker 5: very first episode, they did announce this match for next week,
Speaker 5: but as we know from Evolve, harm Lewis as a
Speaker 5: number one contender for a one on one match.
Speaker 3: Doesn't ever see the materialize itself. And I'm like, I
Speaker 3: hope he doesn't get jumped next week or something crazy.
Speaker 3: I hope we actually get this match. And like I've
Speaker 3: always said, I think Harrard Lewis Cael caught a good promo.
Speaker 3: I think he's like Roman Reigns, like what he was staring.
Speaker 5: He's not good with the script because when he's talking,
Speaker 5: he's talking all he's talking natural like stuff that he
Speaker 5: would actually say, and it comes off as it comes
Speaker 5: off as real. I think the stuff he was saying
Speaker 5: before was like, Okay, someone told him to say this,
Speaker 5: so it doesn't come out.
Speaker 3: It doesn't flow right for some reason. And Roman Rains
Speaker 3: used to be like that, and he was really exposed
Speaker 3: here to the John Seen a thing. But when he
Speaker 3: kind of went off script, and I was saying, Oh, no,
Speaker 3: there's something there, Roman, Roman get caught a promo. He
Speaker 3: just can't cut what these writers are writing him because
Speaker 3: it's not natural to him because he didn't get well.
Speaker 3: He was a viscerated, But he did have some good
Speaker 3: lines toward the end after John Cena started evestilating him,
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, now he's going on script. So I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, there's something there, there's something that Roman.
Speaker 3: I see you, I see at Harlem, I see you
Speaker 3: now too, I see you're good on Instagram. Yes, So
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm thinking they're just feeding him lines over here.
Speaker 3: The only thing before we get to the next thing,
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, it's still it's still a little
Speaker 3: weird for me watching Harmless this way because I'm on
Speaker 3: main event.
Speaker 5: He present him as like just a heel on main event,
Speaker 5: like just straight up heel over deemon quality at all.
Speaker 3: And like I said before, even though we haven't seen this,
Speaker 3: when he's on main event, they do say he's on
Speaker 3: the NXT roster, like he's like legit an XT guy.
Speaker 3: So who knows when that's gonna materialize on TV, But uh,
Speaker 3: I just throw that out there from time to time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I've been with him and THEA, you would think,
Speaker 4: and that rumor that Thea's coming down to evolve, you
Speaker 4: would think he might pop up somewhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so all right, I guess that brings us to
Speaker 3: the next match. Like I said, a lot of stuff happened.
Speaker 3: Normally we get about three matches or so in an episode,
Speaker 3: but we had two. We thought we'd go get a
Speaker 3: Max Abram one, but he said no, no, no, I'm
Speaker 3: just messed. We'll say that for next week.
Speaker 5: Got the death.
Speaker 3: I was like, man, we're about to have a whole
Speaker 3: show of Mark Squad getting beat down. I know.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought was gonna happen. I thought it
Speaker 1: was gonna be like a gauntlet leg just boom, boom boom.
Speaker 3: All right, So we got our next match, which was
Speaker 3: uh Oka Sasaki and Harley Riggins, which completely came out
Speaker 3: of nowhere almost because last week they're looking for Tate
Speaker 3: Wilder they want to match. They didn't say they would
Speaker 3: give it to him this week. They said they still
Speaker 3: got to talk to Stone, but he wanted some match
Speaker 3: in this week. So I kind of like how that
Speaker 3: kind of happened. So I'm thinking it's gonna be one thing.
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, Riggins, he still has a match. We
Speaker 3: just didn't know who's gonna be against. And I've heard
Speaker 3: rumors that he was gonna be like in the WWE.
Speaker 3: I just thought it was gonna be like I heard
Speaker 3: rumors with Narku he was he might have showed up with.
Speaker 3: So when I saidone, I was completely shocked and everything.
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, okay, that's cool. So Riggins had
Speaker 5: his match with uh Sasaki and Riggins with his entrance
Speaker 5: and everything, which is he has a wild entrance. That's
Speaker 5: that's all I got to say.
Speaker 3: I can't remember who it reminds me of. It kind
Speaker 3: of reminds me of a Divas entrance, but I can't
Speaker 3: remember which one. So it's just kind of because you know,
Speaker 3: he looks like a bully and everything, so him kind
Speaker 3: of doing a Divas entrance kind of looks like funny
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna have to go back and rewatch it
Speaker 1: again and.
Speaker 3: Be like that's when he does the crawl, the crawl
Speaker 3: part and everything, and I'm like, okay, I'm like, Riggins,
Speaker 3: calm down, this is a this is a kid to
Speaker 3: watch it.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I thought this match was pretty good. I
Speaker 5: haven't seen too many society Like, I know who he
Speaker 5: is and everything, but I haven't seen like too many
Speaker 5: of his matches because I haven't really watched that product
Speaker 5: for like a while now. But Riggins, I think he
Speaker 5: did a good job. And I think the lessons because
Speaker 5: I know you don't watch LFG. The one thing they
Speaker 5: told Riggins what he has to do. He always looks
Speaker 5: good when he's wrestling.
Speaker 3: He has to start making the other person looks good too,
Speaker 3: even in even in defeat, and I thought he did
Speaker 3: a good job in.
Speaker 5: Plus Sosaky, he's he's a he's a vet. He's a vet,
Speaker 5: so he knows what he's doing.
Speaker 3: So I'm kind of glad they did introduce someone involved
Speaker 3: because right now NXT's kinda they're still finding their way.
Speaker 3: We're introducing a lot of people right now, so it's like, okay,
Speaker 3: we can slow down on that put something them involve.
Speaker 5: So yeah, this was a good match. I'm talking about
Speaker 5: the post a little bit, but shout up, what did
Speaker 5: you think as a match?
Speaker 1: I liked the match.
Speaker 4: Shocked that I'm gonna mispronounce his name Olka until I
Speaker 4: hear it pronounced like fifteen more times shocked.
Speaker 1: It's his debut match. He didn't get the win, So
Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of shocking, because you know,
Speaker 1: usually you want them. But I think it'll be really good.
Speaker 4: I think it's a good way to introduce some other
Speaker 4: talent to evolve, so we don't have the same storylines
Speaker 4: with like Harley, you know, and I will say Stone
Speaker 4: was there too with this match. Why didn't we see
Speaker 4: anything with Harley saying like, hey, we talked about my
Speaker 4: match I wanted. So I think that was a missed opportunity.
Speaker 4: I think there too to be like hey, like maybe
Speaker 4: a scene backstage with the you know, in the foreman's
Speaker 4: office and him being like, Yo, where's my match? I
Speaker 4: think there was a there could have been an opportunity
Speaker 4: for that there, which I think would have been fun.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the match.
Speaker 4: I don't know the wrestler personally. My husband did know
Speaker 4: who he was and he was like, oh, he's coming.
Speaker 4: He was, he's on the same thing he's come with Niraku,
Speaker 4: Like after n Iraq lost to Tony d we were like,
Speaker 4: he's going to rebuild and bring in his faction. So
Speaker 4: I think it's kind of nice here because maybe it's
Speaker 4: something just to get him used to this style from
Speaker 4: what he's used to, and I think he might only
Speaker 4: be in here for a cup of coffee and then
Speaker 4: get him up with Naraku. So I think it'll be
Speaker 4: really good to introduce him to people, especially when you
Speaker 4: bring in sometimes the new Japan wrestlers. I think a
Speaker 4: lot of people that don't know New Japan and stuff
Speaker 4: are kind of like, who is this person, where they
Speaker 4: come from, what's going on? So I think it's going
Speaker 4: to be really good. And if they get to like
Speaker 4: him and then he shows up with Naraku, they're not
Speaker 4: going to be like, what is happening? So I enjoyed
Speaker 4: the match, and I will say also, before this, we
Speaker 4: did have that Cale Dixon promo, so we'll have to
Speaker 4: go back in on that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I forgot, yeah, the yeah, yeah, that's segment. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: I forgot all about that.
Speaker 3: It was really funny to you, So we're gonna talk
Speaker 3: about that in one second. After I talked about Riggins,
Speaker 3: I do, I do agree with you, but I guess
Speaker 3: because I was in the military, I was just thinking, Okay,
Speaker 3: maybe there's some type of Chada command protocol.
Speaker 5: But you're right, he's still went over to say, hey,
Speaker 5: where's my match? Just go like okay, what the foreman
Speaker 5: like before he got in.
Speaker 1: The ring or something, or after the match been like, Yo,
Speaker 1: where's my I just think there was a missed opportunity
Speaker 1: because when Thatcher was like I'll call Stone and see
Speaker 1: what I can do.
Speaker 5: Stones right there like this, Hey what wait?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 5: What's gonna happen? That? Did he call you? Yeah? I
Speaker 5: guess he could have just like did that like real quick.
Speaker 5: They didn't have to wait for an answer. You could
Speaker 5: just like did it and then Stone gonna be like, hey,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm like just do some hand moments like
Speaker 5: like I'm busy. Yeah, So you're right about that.
Speaker 3: But I do like the fact and I don't wonder
Speaker 3: if I it's gonna pop invite at this moment. After
Speaker 3: the match, we had an interview, but it wasn't Chewie.
Speaker 3: We got Rizzo as what what they they gave it.
Speaker 3: She actually has a title, So I guess the che's
Speaker 3: probably still there, but they I guess he's like an
Speaker 3: on site reporter type situation.
Speaker 4: I forgot what her actually, Yeah, I have to go
Speaker 4: back and probably just see that graphic there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they actually the title, Yeah, so its not
Speaker 3: like so I really think I think she was probably
Speaker 3: still there, but just introduce her so we could probably
Speaker 3: mix it up a little bit, kind of like on
Speaker 3: on NXT how we got the new reporter there, so
Speaker 3: I think it's something similar to that. But she was
Speaker 3: interviewing Riggins and Riggins and this is what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: This is how I think this is definitely a new
Speaker 3: taping from like last week.
Speaker 5: I don't think it's part of the same thing.
Speaker 3: Riggors like, yeah, Kim has my back, I have Cam's back,
Speaker 3: but for now I'm gonna be doing this on my own,
Speaker 3: basically kind of saying that Cam isn't gonna be on
Speaker 3: Evolve like that or whatever, like maybe he might show up,
Speaker 3: kind of like he still wants he still wants Tate Wilder.
Speaker 3: He's still calling him out. He keeps interfering in.
Speaker 5: His business, even though he just showed up for like
Speaker 5: three seconds everything, And he.
Speaker 3: Kind of teased that maybe he might have to find
Speaker 3: him on NXT. He said, like wherever Tate's at.
Speaker 5: So never know.
Speaker 3: But it was just I was really surprised when Rizzo
Speaker 3: was there because Alix was a little bit ahead of
Speaker 3: me on the show. So he was like, he decaid,
Speaker 3: you want to see my reaction because I was like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, it's Rizzo and she's been doing this
Speaker 3: for months on her own anyway. So I think it
Speaker 3: was a good good thing that she now she's on
Speaker 3: here doing something even though you're hurt, like or if
Speaker 3: she's not hurt, if they're not doing anything whatever, like hey,
Speaker 3: she could do this and she's been doing it anyway,
Speaker 3: So what did you think about this?
Speaker 5: This whole Rizzo in interviewing and all that good stuff.
Speaker 5: I thought it was.
Speaker 4: Great because you never know, like really what's going on
Speaker 4: with an injury because until the unless the person comes
Speaker 4: out and says, hey, this is what it is, and
Speaker 4: maybe this is something that she's like, hey, I don't
Speaker 4: want to risk it again, I want to go back
Speaker 4: to doing this.
Speaker 1: Or could just be getting her feet wet.
Speaker 4: She could have just been Chee. You might just have
Speaker 4: had a PTO day and been like, hey, can you
Speaker 4: fill in? So I think it's gonna be really telling
Speaker 4: the next few episodes if we see Chewy, if we
Speaker 4: see her, if we see a combo of both. I
Speaker 4: think it would be nice to have a variety, even
Speaker 4: if it's her and Chewy, Yeah, to have a variety
Speaker 4: there for reporting. But it was really nice to see her,
Speaker 4: you know, And it may be something that she's just like, Hey,
Speaker 4: I can't do the physical stuff anymore, but I still
Speaker 4: want to be around and be involved. So it was
Speaker 4: really nice to see her. So it was gonna be
Speaker 4: exciting to see if we see more of her.
Speaker 1: If it was a one off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And for me the first time I saw Rizzo,
Speaker 3: you know who I thought about, Corey Graves, Cory Grady people,
Speaker 3: for those you know, Corey Graves is clear. To Russell,
Speaker 3: he has been cleared, but he's probably thinking, Hey, I
Speaker 3: got a nice gig going on, get to travel, don't
Speaker 3: have to hurt my body.
Speaker 5: I'm still on TV.
Speaker 3: And he is one like he is one of the
Speaker 3: best commentators in WWE, the color commentators. And I get
Speaker 3: why he was mad with the McAfee thing. I do
Speaker 3: get it and everything because you would think it would
Speaker 3: be him and he kind of got passed over.
Speaker 5: But I get it.
Speaker 1: But I mean, look at his skill set. He does
Speaker 1: coller on the main roster, he does played by play
Speaker 1: on Triple A.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he can do it all. You can do it.
Speaker 1: He's great, you know, and those f fives he took
Speaker 1: from Rock that was him. He's like, I'm going out
Speaker 1: on paternity leave.
Speaker 4: Let's have some fun with that and I and I
Speaker 4: think I still remember everybody's reaction because they were convinced
Speaker 4: he was getting back in the ring and he was like, nah,
Speaker 4: I just wanted.
Speaker 1: To do it for fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I like that and everything. So Rizzo, kudos
Speaker 5: do you And you've been doing it anywhere on your own.
Speaker 5: It's like, okay, people have taken notice.
Speaker 3: Of your hard work and now you're on Now you're
Speaker 3: doing what you were doing anyway, and you never know,
Speaker 3: you never know.
Speaker 5: Maybe you might I might like maybe it's more job security,
Speaker 5: who knows.
Speaker 4: Or she could do like you know, every now and then,
Speaker 4: who was it we saw Kathy Kelly took that one. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it took that random bump pre pre mania or something.
Speaker 4: Maybe it's something like that that they're putting her in
Speaker 4: because it's like, hey, we want to do something crazy
Speaker 4: here take a bump here during these segments. You know, Chew,
Speaker 4: we might not have you know, the training to do it,
Speaker 4: but if you're like, hey, if we want to do
Speaker 4: something let's have some fun someone in there that can.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, So that that was good.
Speaker 3: And I did like the fact that riggins because everybody
Speaker 3: knows I'm a fan of Disney bullies. They did mention
Speaker 3: it on Commed teams like yeahs he's a bully. He
Speaker 3: goes out like give people wedgies and stuff.
Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, whatever.
Speaker 3: But the fact that him and Candor's still a team
Speaker 3: but not really a team, so I like that they're
Speaker 3: still cool with each other. And I like that just
Speaker 3: because you're on a different brand or whatever doesn't mean
Speaker 3: you got to completely kill everything who almost falls something
Speaker 3: for later in the show when I says that.
Speaker 5: But anyway, all right, let's go back to cal Dix.
Speaker 5: I always want to say Kale, I would say, I
Speaker 5: always say Kyle because I think that sounds like a
Speaker 5: regular first name. Yeah said Kyle, So okay, Kale Dixon.
Speaker 3: They had a photo shoot and this one I'm not
Speaker 3: one that show up the same photo shoot place when
Speaker 3: we saw and it's tea all time, which is the
Speaker 3: lights off because it really could have been knowing what
Speaker 3: TV budget.
Speaker 5: But like I'm saying, their cameras are a lot better.
Speaker 5: I'm like I told you guys, I'm like, I don't know,
Speaker 5: maybe we're starting to maybe might have our first uh
Speaker 5: all takeover like in a year or something like that,
Speaker 5: because now we've got the budget increased with the camera
Speaker 5: work and this is basically was Cale and what's her name?
Speaker 5: I've got her name, I know, but she was Quinn.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but they haven't named her yet.
Speaker 5: Oh okay. I thought she said her name was like
Speaker 5: something Quinn or Quinn something last week, Like no, okay.
Speaker 4: They're still saying business associates. So that's where I'm like,
Speaker 4: is she ballet? Is she going to be part of
Speaker 4: the division? And that's where it's like, you got to
Speaker 4: give us something.
Speaker 3: On who's because the way way those photo shoots are looking,
Speaker 3: because I was like, wait, I thought that was his
Speaker 3: business partner, you know that they were having like a
Speaker 3: couple's photo shoot. But it was It was cool though,
Speaker 3: So just see the arrogance and I gotta give of
Speaker 3: all credit like I like I did last week. Cale
Speaker 3: Dixon has more character now than he ever ever did
Speaker 3: in NXT, so it's actually probably a good move for
Speaker 3: him and everything. So I'm like, hey, at least he
Speaker 3: has something going on now.
Speaker 1: Oh, I just wish they would define what she's doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah to me, I think because we don't know yet,
Speaker 3: he's probably just the valet type for right now.
Speaker 5: Maybe he'll start wrestling like later, but yeah, who knows.
Speaker 5: But yeah, we gotta get we gotta get a clear
Speaker 5: cleversation of that at some point. All right, But like
Speaker 5: I said, a lot of stuff happened. Okay, Now we
Speaker 5: had another segment. Another segment that comes up.
Speaker 3: We have Elijah Holyfield and being trained by No I'm
Speaker 3: dark and I did like the logic behind us because
Speaker 3: he's like, look like Jenson did beat him and his
Speaker 3: last match put is more like a fluke and he
Speaker 3: wants to be able to prepare for him like something
Speaker 3: that he does I've seen coming. So nom darms like
Speaker 3: show him some moves off the rope. But it was
Speaker 3: kind of there, about to go into workout or whatever.
Speaker 3: But he kind of Jenson notices them working out. She's
Speaker 3: over there kind of I don't want stocky is the
Speaker 3: wrong word because he was just going there. But he's like, oh,
Speaker 3: they're going to let me just that's see what's going
Speaker 3: on without them knowing. I'm looking to see what's going on.
Speaker 3: So he's watching him train for the certain move off
Speaker 3: the second rope I believe.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was the move.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the move that caused Jensen to get
Speaker 4: the win, like that fluke and he was like, hey,
Speaker 4: how could I have gotten Yeah, like he wanted to
Speaker 4: know how if it happened again he could. And I
Speaker 4: really liked it because it shows that Elijah's like, hey,
Speaker 4: I'm still here, I'm new. I want some advice. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and Narm being this mentor to, you know, being like, hey,
Speaker 4: I've been around the block, I know what's going on.
Speaker 4: Let's work on this together. So I think it was
Speaker 4: really good for Elijah's character, and I think we're going
Speaker 4: to see a setup for a rematch between the two
Speaker 4: of them, So I think it's going to be really
Speaker 4: neat to see how he's like, hey, if Brooks tries
Speaker 4: this crazy stuff, I'm coming prepared.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like you told him like how to land
Speaker 3: he says, are you use your base and everything and
Speaker 3: that's how you kind of get out of it. And
Speaker 3: that was cool And I do like I like what
Speaker 3: they're doing Elijah's character because now he's starting to have
Speaker 3: a character and he's like like a real person and everything.
Speaker 3: They didn't make him because I was afraid at first
Speaker 3: they were just trying to make him a Keano Carver clone.
Speaker 3: That is what I thought, just maybe not as turned
Speaker 3: to twenty, maybe then dial it down to like eight
Speaker 3: or whatever. But no, he just comes up as a
Speaker 3: real person and everything. Yeah, he's jacked, he played football
Speaker 3: and everything. His dad's who, his dad is everything. But
Speaker 3: he really comes off not even using that like the name,
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie, probably help him get in the door,
Speaker 3: but he's really he doesn't rely.
Speaker 5: On that at all.
Speaker 3: His character doesn't rely on it. Just the fact his
Speaker 3: name's holy Field. And I get why he's not gonna
Speaker 3: change his name because that be that'll be crazy. But yeah,
Speaker 3: he's his own unique character. I liked it, like the
Speaker 3: fact and what I was thinking Earli about Noam Dar
Speaker 3: maybe being player coach was because of this segment right
Speaker 3: here and the fact that he's probably got like ten
Speaker 3: or fifty years on everyone there. And we know Evolve
Speaker 3: was for the really young people and everything. A lot
Speaker 3: of them like new to the business or they're trying
Speaker 3: to read to do something. That's what Evolve is. So
Speaker 3: I did like that so they show him the training aspect,
Speaker 3: so that was that was cool. But Jensen right there
Speaker 3: just looking like, okay, he's trying to learn some Now.
Speaker 3: Chance is gonna have to up his game at some point.
Speaker 3: And the part that I know Coach is gonna like
Speaker 3: when we see him later tonight when Noam Dart said, yeah, Jensen,
Speaker 3: he sucks because.
Speaker 5: Coach he hates Jensen. I actually like Jensen, but Coach
Speaker 5: hates different.
Speaker 1: Like I'm okay, but the whole entire like when he
Speaker 1: keeps adding to the bam bam.
Speaker 3: Bam, I'm like, dude, oh yeah, I'm like three, like
Speaker 3: the Keidan pelsketch, like three is okay.
Speaker 5: Anything more than that is egregious and you get flagged.
Speaker 3: So yeah, he he's there. He's also there even though
Speaker 3: he's young. I think of Jenson's like a player coach
Speaker 3: also because he's really good.
Speaker 5: He's a really good wrestler and everything, and I think
Speaker 5: that's why I really think that's why he's in evolved
Speaker 5: to help these guys.
Speaker 3: He's just happens to be about their age, that's all.
Speaker 3: But he's got years of experience. So yeah, so let's
Speaker 3: see that segment was over.
Speaker 5: So I believe we had another segment. I believe with this,
Speaker 5: that's right. This is what made me okay.
Speaker 3: Before I even talk about the segment, I was like, Thatcher,
Speaker 3: why do you have so much animosity to the mog
Speaker 3: squad for just winning their match? But Security was the
Speaker 3: one that acted the full last week. Basically, they didn't
Speaker 3: really quit. You fired them, and they're just like, we're
Speaker 3: not leaving it. I'm like, I don't even these are
Speaker 3: the guys you should have been mad at.
Speaker 5: So I don't know. So we had a Victor and
Speaker 5: Cheeto Ash.
Speaker 1: I think his name is, yeah, mister Tiffany Stratton.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Tiffany Stratton's new boo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they kind of promo. It was okay to me.
Speaker 3: It was like it was good enough to introduce them
Speaker 3: to the group. But you know, it was just it
Speaker 3: was okay. What I kept marveling at is a cinematography
Speaker 3: of it all because of normal like last week's If
Speaker 3: they would did this last week, it would look completely different.
Speaker 5: But they did. It's like now it looks like, I
Speaker 5: don't know, maybe he stole some maybe NX got new equipment,
Speaker 5: so they gotta hand me down NXT equipment because I'm like.
Speaker 3: The production value was, uh, it was pretty good for
Speaker 3: all the segments. All the back seguments look different than
Speaker 3: the end ring. Actually, they all like it was.
Speaker 5: Like just a high just the difference between a high
Speaker 5: quality camera will do because they've done segments before, but
Speaker 5: it just looks better now.
Speaker 3: So it was like it was it was all right
Speaker 3: and everything it is that we knew this was gonna
Speaker 3: happen at some point for these guys, but them being
Speaker 3: fired but still being around, we have to some explained.
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't have like I don't know, something
Speaker 3: called a lock or whatever on the door. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: like there's something to be like, hey, you can't come
Speaker 3: in here. You know, the crowd has to have a ticket,
Speaker 3: they have their credentials. You just maybe these don't leave maybe,
Speaker 3: like I don't know, And that's what.
Speaker 4: I kind of want to see. If they're kind of
Speaker 4: like we're here and we're not leaving. I don't want
Speaker 4: to see them have scheduled matches. I want to see
Speaker 4: them come in and create chaos, like interrupt a match,
Speaker 4: be like we demand a match, we challenge, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean. So if they're gonna be here, I
Speaker 4: don't want to be said, oh, next week I said
Speaker 4: a bash between No, yeah, yeah, let them just be
Speaker 4: chaos incarnate running around until a Thatcher was probably like, okay, fine,
Speaker 4: here you go, and then give them a tag like
Speaker 4: an actual match, but I do.
Speaker 1: It's like, I just want to see them just be
Speaker 1: chaos incarnate.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think one way to get around it is just
Speaker 3: have them on Brexit Cole's payroll. So at least it's
Speaker 3: a way of why they're how they're here. And then
Speaker 3: at some point you're gonna have to offer him up
Speaker 3: a contract or something. Maybe they have to beat you
Speaker 3: know something, but like and that gives Brexit Coles something
Speaker 3: else to do.
Speaker 5: Now, it's like, okay, give him a factor. Let's see
Speaker 5: what you can do.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna be the A faction, you'll be the
Speaker 3: F faction the because the A factor is the mob
Speaker 3: squad right now. So when they're doing their main event stuff,
Speaker 3: their main event few, it's like, oh, we got this
Speaker 3: other thing brewing back there too, just to get some
Speaker 3: people to sian. It's what I hope they do, but hell,
Speaker 3: the way they might do it, you never know. Cal
Speaker 3: Dixon might bring him in because we don't know a
Speaker 3: whole lot about him. Maybe might right so, but who knows.
Speaker 5: But I thought it was I just thought it was okay.
Speaker 5: I did like the production value, but they didn't really
Speaker 5: do how much. They just introduced themselves for real, gave
Speaker 5: themselves last names, and that I was about it. So
Speaker 5: we'll see.
Speaker 3: And I will say one thing to I am a
Speaker 3: little bit biased with Victor because I did see Victor
Speaker 3: Russell back in November. I guess Mike the Ruder that's
Speaker 3: also known now as Jordan Van Dukes. And when I
Speaker 3: saw Jordan Van Dukes, I was telling everybody on the
Speaker 3: Evolved podcast, I'm like, Hey, this is this guy. He's
Speaker 3: this super muscular dude. I don't remember what his name is,
Speaker 3: but he was awesome. But he did not win that match.
Speaker 3: He looked great if Victor beat him.
Speaker 5: And I haven't liked Victor so not that he actually
Speaker 5: DICADU my guy. So it's like I have it out
Speaker 5: for Victor. But anyway, all right, let's go to the
Speaker 5: next segment.
Speaker 1: Okay, the main event.
Speaker 5: Why do I thought something else? What we maybe maybe passage?
Speaker 5: Weren't they stopped the women's planning at one point?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was that they do it on NXT. It
Speaker 1: was earlier in the day. It was earlier in the episode,
Speaker 1: but it was like that they do it on NXT too,
Speaker 1: where it's like that hidden like someone's like filming on
Speaker 1: their cell phone. Yeah, it was uh, Gianna Veronica, which
Speaker 1: I still want to call her by her I still
Speaker 1: want to call her by her enny name.
Speaker 4: So I have to like look every single time and
Speaker 4: uh sloan in the locker room, like chit chat.
Speaker 5: The women's locker room, and we saw it from the
Speaker 5: outside of a door looking through it. That's why I
Speaker 5: said it was creepy because ye in the locker room,
Speaker 5: we were like outside of the locker room looking through
Speaker 5: a glass door to the locker room, which made it
Speaker 5: and it was like not the whole doors, like kind
Speaker 5: of you're like kind of peeping with your eyes like overs.
Speaker 7: And they do it on.
Speaker 1: NXT every now and then. And I forget what they
Speaker 1: call They didn't give this segment the same, They just
Speaker 1: had it there, but on NXT they have a name
Speaker 1: for it or something. Late they're like, oh, we got
Speaker 1: this from I don't remember what it is.
Speaker 5: It's like an anonymous not something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And that's what it reminded me of.
Speaker 1: But I thought it was really strong.
Speaker 4: The thing that I found about it that was strange
Speaker 4: was like, it was the three women that we knew
Speaker 4: were going to be at the celebration. Why was it
Speaker 4: not with the women that showed up to the celebration
Speaker 4: instead of being like, hey, you know, I don't know,
Speaker 4: it just was really weird.
Speaker 5: Xena Sterling showed up and they were just looking at
Speaker 5: her like what are you doing here? Oh?
Speaker 3: And also the women's locker room we saw from a
Speaker 3: different angle than we normally do. They do some cool
Speaker 3: camera tricks to make it look like it's not NXT,
Speaker 3: but you can see the.
Speaker 1: Fridges that's in the background all those segments.
Speaker 5: It was like, oh, okay, okay, so this is the
Speaker 5: locker room. Okay, different the break room?
Speaker 1: How many times?
Speaker 5: Yeah, So so that was cool. So Xena Sterling was there,
Speaker 5: they wanted basically like oh what are you doing here?
Speaker 5: In that was it.
Speaker 3: It was like that was was just really short and sweet.
Speaker 3: So just just throw that out there and everything. So
Speaker 3: now I believe that's I think we've covered everything. So
Speaker 3: now we have the quasi main event, since it wasn't
Speaker 3: really a match, but we have the main of it,
Speaker 3: what everybody's here for. What my thumb nail on my
Speaker 3: live stream was the celebration of the Kida lines, because
Speaker 3: that's what.
Speaker 5: We're all here for. So we had standing to ring
Speaker 5: the same aforementioned women.
Speaker 3: We had Haven, we had Capri, and we had Sloan
Speaker 3: Jacob's in the ring and I'm glad they had the
Speaker 3: plants because that's her thing.
Speaker 5: So they did have.
Speaker 1: Plants and tarot cards.
Speaker 3: Yeah, tarot cards. The key the lines come out to her.
Speaker 3: I guess her old music. I think she has new
Speaker 3: music now NXT.
Speaker 5: But she sung her way to the to the to
Speaker 5: the ring like her whole no, like she did the
Speaker 5: whole thing up to the ring, And I thought that
Speaker 5: was kind of cool that that was.
Speaker 1: I loved that. I was like, you do it, do
Speaker 1: it all, do it.
Speaker 5: I thought she was.
Speaker 3: Gonna start with Oh, she's gonna do the whole like, Okay,
Speaker 3: she's gonna do the whole thing. I'm like, Okay, that's
Speaker 3: one way to do it, like because she did sing
Speaker 3: the song, so so I thought that was on a cool.
Speaker 5: Then I guess Sloan was there trying to get.
Speaker 3: The big invite for people that she invited was supposed
Speaker 3: to be a star studed thing, and then no one
Speaker 3: showed up. The key decide to go read her cards
Speaker 3: just to see, you know, what's going on or the future,
Speaker 3: whatever the case may be.
Speaker 5: And then like I did see your short and the
Speaker 5: Ghostbusters things like you know, it was crazy, like people
Speaker 5: just started showed up out of the woodworks.
Speaker 3: Let's see who was the first person to friends rens declare,
Speaker 3: which I was completed once that happened through my whole
Speaker 3: thought process.
Speaker 1: Off she had done.
Speaker 4: If you go back on her uh social media for
Speaker 4: Friend's Day, she did a thing. Okay, so she did
Speaker 4: a thing on social media because she got an invite,
Speaker 4: and then she was dressing up like she was Lydia
Speaker 4: from Beetlejuice and she had like three different cautions on
Speaker 4: what she was gonna wear.
Speaker 1: It was really funny. So it was like, okay, cool.
Speaker 1: But then I was like, all the NXT.
Speaker 4: People want I Ren, like she has nothing to do
Speaker 4: with that whole you know, alliance on NXT.
Speaker 1: So I thought that was quite strange that it was Ren.
Speaker 5: So yeah, because it was because it was when anything
Speaker 5: I was thinking of, just my mind kind of exploded
Speaker 5: because that was like the last person I thought was.
Speaker 3: Going to show up on on Evolved the be a
Speaker 3: potential challenger. Potential challenger, we'll see that. So I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: we got Red that comes out next.
Speaker 5: Surprisingly, I didn't think about her, but it makes sense
Speaker 5: sort of we have, uh what Skylar Ray is that? Yeah,
Speaker 5: Skylla Ray shows up the winner of LG season two
Speaker 5: from what I've been told, because I didn't want season two,
Speaker 5: but I do know she went with Shiloh.
Speaker 1: Yeah I can't. I don't have any so I can't watch.
Speaker 1: All I know is like, oh, the season and this
Speaker 1: is who went. Okay cool.
Speaker 3: I want to say the last time I saw her
Speaker 3: NXT was when she tagged with Shilo during Christmas when.
Speaker 1: Her yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: I've seen her since on main event.
Speaker 3: She has wrestled on main event, but that's not singing
Speaker 3: a whole lot because a lot of by the way,
Speaker 3: a lot of people from Evolve and XC do wrestle
Speaker 3: on main events, so you just never know who's going
Speaker 3: to show up when on that show, which I think
Speaker 3: is a good thing to just give them experience working
Speaker 3: the main roster crowd and stuff like that, so I
Speaker 3: think that's good. So we had Skyllery come out and
Speaker 3: then it makes sense but still doesn't. At the same time,
Speaker 3: Layla Diggs comes out she's thrown her hat in the
Speaker 3: ring for the championship, but she said now she's on
Speaker 3: her own, which applies because Mason Holliday for those of
Speaker 3: you who don't remember or don't know, Mason Holly is
Speaker 3: no longer with the WWE.
Speaker 5: That was her running buddy, her tag partner, So.
Speaker 1: Last week looks like it was her last like it
Speaker 1: was last week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So like now it's like with all the camera
Speaker 3: work showing, Okay, this budget looked like y'all did something
Speaker 3: between this week and last week. A lot of the
Speaker 3: continuity stuff that they kind of try to clean up
Speaker 3: in this episode. So I'm like, okay, that thing obviously
Speaker 3: was fill whenever that was filmed, and this is like
Speaker 3: the beginning of a brand new tapings and that might
Speaker 3: affect with the whole Kevin on Stage thing. And he
Speaker 3: was mentioned at one point in this episode like, oh
Speaker 3: he did a good job. Was a GM and I
Speaker 3: just thought I was on Evolved longer than keV on
Speaker 3: Stage was last week Unevolved.
Speaker 1: That's what I said. I was like, he didn't do anything.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was like, okay, well they threw it up.
Speaker 5: I'm like, he showed up. He was there for the
Speaker 5: first three minutes of the show and a video package
Speaker 5: and that was it. That was literally it.
Speaker 3: He did more of the week before, but at least
Speaker 3: they tried to fix what they could fix. I'm like,
Speaker 3: who knows what NXC had in store, So they fixed
Speaker 3: what they could fix.
Speaker 5: So I liked that. So as always brawl and shoes
Speaker 5: and everything, the.
Speaker 3: Three layers take off, the other three lads winners, nothing
Speaker 3: but Nikida lyons left in the ring.
Speaker 5: So that means, wait, Nikeda can't be left standing tall
Speaker 5: for a celebration. She's a heel who shows up, who's
Speaker 5: finally stepping up? That look like she's gonna be the
Speaker 5: main one. Lady shows up standing tall because when she
Speaker 5: was fighting Wendy, she looks shorter because it looks like
Speaker 5: she was always crouching around Wendy. So when I said, like, wait,
Speaker 5: that looks like waiting. Look, I'm like, she looks a
Speaker 5: lot taller. But oh she's standing straight up now, Like okay,
Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, that's what happens.
Speaker 3: So it looked like Lady Luck and Nikita and I
Speaker 3: believe she's still the ID champion. Correct or she is, Yeah,
Speaker 3: she's still the ID Champion.
Speaker 5: So makes sense. So now hopefully well start seeing a
Speaker 5: lot more of Lady Luck.
Speaker 3: So, Shawna, let me know what you really thought about
Speaker 3: this entire mortgage bard of a celebration.
Speaker 1: I knew it was gonna be chaos, and it was
Speaker 1: gonna be crazy because they always are, Like, as soon
Speaker 1: as you hear like celebration contract sighting, you know it's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. The Layla digs saying, I'm kind of like, okay,
Speaker 1: once again, we're going into like the Marvel Cinematic universe.
Speaker 4: Of the Netflix Cinematic universe. Here we're working same characters
Speaker 4: but slightly different storylines because on NXT, Layla is part
Speaker 4: of that alliance that Nikita's in, even though she's kind
Speaker 4: of trepidacious about, you know, her involvement there. But to
Speaker 4: have her step up now, I'm curious to see how
Speaker 4: that's gonna play out, because I was like, why is
Speaker 4: she challenging her when they're supposed to be buddies over here?
Speaker 1: Skyler was like, oh, hey, there, you are what's up? Ren?
Speaker 4: Still, I don't understand why Wren was there, Like, of
Speaker 4: all next people, nothing against Wren, but Ren just didn't
Speaker 4: make any sense.
Speaker 1: But Lane had posted that she was going to you know,
Speaker 1: so it was kind of like you knew Lane was
Speaker 1: showing up at some point.
Speaker 5: I loved it.
Speaker 1: I loved it when Nikita was trying to read her
Speaker 1: cards and she kept like putting the mike down and
Speaker 1: picking it up. I don't know. She was like yes,
Speaker 1: and then she like deal a card and be like yes.
Speaker 1: I don't know why.
Speaker 4: I was cracking up laughing at that, but I think
Speaker 4: it's really good because we knew we were going to
Speaker 4: get who was going to be her first challenger. Makes
Speaker 4: sense for it to be Laney, so to be fun
Speaker 4: to see her on there. But I think it's also
Speaker 4: going to be interesting to see if we're going to
Speaker 4: see Veronica not Fallon.
Speaker 1: I want to call her Fallon and.
Speaker 4: Gianna as an alliance together on there and see how
Speaker 4: that plays out. Are they just going to be like
Speaker 4: a you know, a Sloan. Are they going to be
Speaker 4: a friendship, are they going to be a group together too,
Speaker 4: or how that's going to play out.
Speaker 1: Since it was those four.
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be interesting because we know Gianna and
Speaker 4: Anya have a thing, Veronica really doesn't have anything going on,
Speaker 4: And I honestly did think at some point something was
Speaker 4: gonna happen with Slow, Like I thought there was going
Speaker 4: to be a sub was Sloan that Nikita was gonna
Speaker 4: like that was my first initial because she's like, oh,
Speaker 4: we won this, we did this. So I thought that
Speaker 4: Sloan was going to turn on Nikita. I mean, Nikita
Speaker 4: was gonna turn on Sloan. So it's going to be
Speaker 4: interesting in the next few weeks with Nikita with the
Speaker 4: title how Slow Is Is she still thinks it's their title,
Speaker 4: and how that plays out. So I think we've got
Speaker 4: a lot.
Speaker 1: Moving within the women's division that the storylines can really
Speaker 1: go anywhere. This set that up a lot.
Speaker 4: The men's is just kind of like, I'm there, but
Speaker 4: I think the women's I think this set up a
Speaker 4: lot for the women and it can go in a
Speaker 4: bunch of different directions, even across both brands.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and even with the Lady Luck, because we saw
Speaker 3: her the one that was standing tall, means that more
Speaker 3: than likely it might end with her, So maybe she
Speaker 3: gets a championship and somehow maybe lose it with Shenanigan's
Speaker 3: then we go through the other women.
Speaker 5: For some reason, it maybe not ren. I think that
Speaker 5: might be a little that might be a pill too
Speaker 5: much to swallow. I don't know, but they do sort
Speaker 5: of have a thing going on in NXT right now because.
Speaker 3: Of Kendall so and the only thing I can think
Speaker 3: with Layla this is okay, hear me on, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: try to cook a little bit. I'm gonna try to microwaves,
Speaker 3: all right. She's with the dungeon groups, the dungeon Dolls.
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna still call them all the dungeon dolls.
Speaker 3: Nikita kind of likes fighting people, almost like Apocalypse or
Speaker 3: something like that. So maybe say, hey, a little competition
Speaker 3: might not be so bad and everything. Okay, Nikita, you're
Speaker 3: the champion. Oh maybe somebody from this group might step
Speaker 3: up to take your championship. And they have, like I
Speaker 3: don't wanna say, a friendly rivalry, but if you remember
Speaker 3: any faction like back in the Adsuo era, like the
Speaker 3: Nation Domination, you always had the Rock and for Root
Speaker 3: kind of beefing with each other, even d X for
Speaker 3: a while when Triple H's trying to get the Icy
Speaker 3: belt but x POC was right there in the same
Speaker 3: Icy division.
Speaker 5: Sometimes it was like, okay, which one was better. Even
Speaker 5: though they never quite turn on each other, they did
Speaker 5: have that one Triple Threat when the Rock just walked
Speaker 5: down and got disqualified, which was brilliant and he was like, ah,
Speaker 5: they had them fight each other for real trying to
Speaker 5: get this belt and he just walked off.
Speaker 3: So it could be something similar like that, like Leilah, Okay, well,
Speaker 3: Natty's not here to save you type of situation, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna on that belt and you know, something like that,
Speaker 3: because they already are kind of side eyed in her
Speaker 3: a little bit anyway, because she doesn't want to do
Speaker 3: what he needs to be done.
Speaker 5: Nikita and Ren kind of almost makes sense because because
Speaker 5: of the Kendall Grays, the champion and Tikida had a thing.
Speaker 5: But that's kind of like.
Speaker 3: More like more like a flu. But it's like, hey,
Speaker 3: it happened on TV, so we could use it and everything.
Speaker 3: It's like, Okay, I don't like you because your girl
Speaker 3: beat my girl type of situation. But it wasn't surprise
Speaker 3: and really, who who should have been in that spot.
Speaker 3: I know she's don't with the company anymore. Carly Bright.
Speaker 3: That should have been Carly Bright's spot, the Kendall Gray
Speaker 3: if you're gonna do a Kendall Gray person she was
Speaker 3: supposed to be. To me, it was like you had
Speaker 3: Kendall and Bright was like Kendall was one A.
Speaker 5: She was like one B to me. She was like
Speaker 5: just as good as Kendall, but not quite as good
Speaker 5: as Kendall, And that could have fit that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, rend and showing up, Yeah that was crazy.
Speaker 3: And she wasn't speed champion at the time, and she
Speaker 3: still did to Speed champion. So you're a champion even
Speaker 3: though it's a speed championship, but still champion XT nevertheless.
Speaker 4: And also I will say this is another episode went
Speaker 4: by with nothing from the unknown.
Speaker 5: Yeah that's right, I forgot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know now where speculated she's gonna be one
Speaker 3: of those people that's gonna be vying for the championship.
Speaker 5: So but I do like that, I said, they don't
Speaker 5: they we we talked.
Speaker 3: About her, let's like not mentioned her until we kind
Speaker 3: of forget about her, like then she pops up or just.
Speaker 5: Have like little things teasing her arrival, like like when.
Speaker 3: People didn't show up, I was thinking, oh, maybe something happened,
Speaker 3: maybe that was an unknown thing. And that's actually when
Speaker 3: I Thoughtnikida was gonna like slap slowed for some reason,
Speaker 3: like you're ruined to my party, and there was the
Speaker 3: people that he says. That's when I thought she was
Speaker 3: gonna turn around. Then I didn't think she's gonna pick
Speaker 3: up her cards to try to foretell the future. But
Speaker 3: the women's division is looking pretty nice though, I will
Speaker 3: say that the championship division is looking good. And Haven
Speaker 3: looked like she's gonna be a heel because before it
Speaker 3: looked like she might' We weren't quite sure because it
Speaker 3: looked like she was wishy washy in the locker room
Speaker 3: when they had their with Anya and could have their
Speaker 3: little backstage whatever talk.
Speaker 5: She kind of like.
Speaker 1: And they changed her up a little bit because.
Speaker 4: She did do that like Fallen Angel thing, and she's
Speaker 4: been in like these like dresses recently, so I'm wondering
Speaker 4: if when we see like if are they giving her
Speaker 4: a character change or will she bring that out, which
Speaker 4: I did notice, like Gianna same looks the same as
Speaker 4: she did on the indie Sloan's a little bit different
Speaker 4: because Sloan did the siren or you know that siren character,
Speaker 4: but we really haven't seen Veronica, so I'm kind of
Speaker 4: curious with her going in this group.
Speaker 1: Are we going to get a character changed from her
Speaker 1: indie character?
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, that's that's fair because yeah, we really haven't
Speaker 3: really seen Haven that much besides like when they first
Speaker 3: when she first debuted, every other time we've seen her
Speaker 3: in more like a backstage segment or like on the Count,
Speaker 3: or like we just haven't seen her like Russell, like
Speaker 3: on Your Room and before we get out of here,
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure you might have. Oh yeah, you've seen it,
Speaker 3: because I think they posted in the group on your Room.
Speaker 5: Okay. She explained what happened on last week's episode of
Speaker 5: uh of Evolved.
Speaker 3: All right, so for those of you who don't know
Speaker 3: are aware, she basically tried to do a dragon ball
Speaker 3: Z move on Capri uh last week, like actually the
Speaker 3: whole motion, all of it. It didn't nothing came out
Speaker 3: of her hands and was looking at her like she
Speaker 3: was crazy. So she broke it down.
Speaker 5: Of what happened. She says she was pulling what the
Speaker 5: woohoo energy out of the out of the sky, so
Speaker 5: that's what her hand was up. That's where she has
Speaker 5: the woo woo woo woo woo or whatever it is. Yeah, whatever,
Speaker 5: she says, that's the end she was trying to draw from.
Speaker 5: And then she was trying to throw it at her
Speaker 5: but because of light refractions and stuff like that, so
Speaker 5: you couldn't really see what with the naked eye. But
Speaker 5: they said, but how come it didn't affect her?
Speaker 3: And she said, because Capri has like on a lot
Speaker 3: of plot armor, so that's why it didn't affect her.
Speaker 5: I was like, geus, I was.
Speaker 1: Really thinking Gianna had a rebuttal today and she didn't.
Speaker 1: And I'm still waiting.
Speaker 4: I am still waiting for Gianna's like rebuttal on that video.
Speaker 4: I'm anxiously waiting.
Speaker 3: I thought what she was gonna show was the video
Speaker 3: that the one fan made of them actually showing it.
Speaker 3: So then, well she did it, and then she like
Speaker 3: paused and said, wait, it's like me wind she winded.
Speaker 3: She really, yes, she did do it, but uh, she
Speaker 3: has plot armor, so that's why it didn't work. And
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, yeah, you're yep, you're really leaning
Speaker 3: into the anime stuff, which was great because for those
Speaker 3: of you are not aware, like with almost any show
Speaker 3: that has a villain, everything with something doesn't it's because
Speaker 3: of like, okay, how does this not make sense?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 5: Plot armor? We need it for uh. You know that's
Speaker 5: why no real explanation that okay, because I don't know
Speaker 5: when y'all gotta read it. Have? Have you? Do you
Speaker 5: watch X Men? Shot up? By the chance? I have not?
Speaker 1: My husband has?
Speaker 5: I have not? I have.
Speaker 1: I would love to watch TV. I would love my
Speaker 1: My TV is literally wrestling and uh.
Speaker 4: Anything else that I try to watch that I don't
Speaker 4: fall asleep during uh is a good day for me.
Speaker 4: I want to watch it really bad because I love
Speaker 4: X Men. I mean, kamanam a gen x er. I
Speaker 4: mean it grew you know, so hardcore gen x or
Speaker 4: that can.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and my.
Speaker 1: Husband's told me all about it. I'm like, oh, I
Speaker 1: remember that story.
Speaker 3: Okay, everybody that's listening to this podcast right now, all right,
Speaker 3: we're about an hour five minutes into the show. Spoiler alert,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give a slight spoiler that happened on episode
Speaker 3: four of season three just.
Speaker 5: Happened to just drop as of this recording yesterday.
Speaker 3: For me, so all right, plot arms Okay, Towards the
Speaker 3: end of the show, there's you got Exavier, Magneto, and
Speaker 3: Apocalypse stuck in the past. Magneto, I mean, Apocalypse picks
Speaker 3: up Magneto. Oh Alex, make sure if you haven't seen
Speaker 3: it yet, make sure.
Speaker 5: You you beat us.
Speaker 3: He vaporizes Magneto right in front of Xavier because they're
Speaker 3: stuck in the past, and Dan instead of killing Xavier,
Speaker 3: he's like, I'm gonna be here forever anyway, Like I
Speaker 3: don't consider myself ants and walk by them now. Before this,
Speaker 3: the whole group went back to the future. They stayed
Speaker 3: because they were trying to save some people. Bishop shows
Speaker 3: up after this happens, gets Exavier, it goes back to
Speaker 3: the future. Wow, I'm thinking, okay, time travel Bishop, why
Speaker 3: do you just after Theavor told you this, why do
Speaker 3: you just go right back and get Magneto before he.
Speaker 5: Gets vaporized by Apocalypse. It happened like maybe three minutes
Speaker 5: before you showed up. You could you know, That's what
Speaker 5: I'm saying. Like, sometimes it doesn't make sense, like you
Speaker 5: could have just done that same way you went back
Speaker 5: in time to pick him up. Just recharge whatever you
Speaker 5: have to do and say that's all you have to do,
Speaker 5: just grab.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's where the doctor comes in, so the doctor
Speaker 1: will go back and be like, this is not a
Speaker 1: fixed point in time, I'll back and grab.
Speaker 5: Yeah. It was, it was, it was. It was crazy.
Speaker 5: But anyway, guys, I guess that's it for this episode.
Speaker 5: I had to definitely throwing the on your roote thing
Speaker 5: because I just thought that was so cool. All the
Speaker 5: of our people right now, especially the ladies, they're really
Speaker 5: on social media, really promoting the hell out of a

Speaker 6: is technically not vaporized. It's left in the past.
Speaker 5: Oh because with the helmet left.
Speaker 8: So it was like yeaheah, someone brought it up like
Speaker 8: the the body did. This one was kind of a
Speaker 8: dick and not picking up the body. But okay if

Speaker 6: person in the background and Xena once again.
