Speaker 1: Listen WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to the
Speaker 1: WWE podcast show.
Speaker 2: The one that everybody wants me sixteen.
Speaker 3: So I just work your ass is mind.
Speaker 2: You're going to acknowledge me.
Speaker 3: What is going on? Guys, and welcome to this week's
Speaker 3: episode of the Main Event Review, the Main Event post WrestleMania,
Speaker 3: which is exciting. We're going back to normal screenings as well.
Speaker 3: I'm going to be also covering raw, the raw after WrestleMania,
Speaker 3: which to me was probably the best raw after WrestleMania
Speaker 3: in a very very long time. Lots of twists, lots
Speaker 3: of turns, some surprise appearances. But again, the main Event
Speaker 3: does just cover a few segments. So that's what we're
Speaker 3: going to be touching on today. Some good news actually
Speaker 3: gonna that's occurred recently is that they are putting Main
Speaker 3: Event reviews or Main Event shows sorry on YouTube, So
Speaker 3: you're gonna be able to watch the full episode. That's
Speaker 3: for here in Australia and I'm pretty sure that would
Speaker 3: be available internationally for the US. I still think it's
Speaker 3: on Peacock because before it being uploaded on YouTube, I've
Speaker 3: been using a VPN too. Log into Peacock with my
Speaker 3: cousin's account that lives in the States. But now I
Speaker 3: don't have to do that. I can go on YouTube
Speaker 3: and watch the full show. So for those that are
Speaker 3: not living in the US and want to catch the
Speaker 3: main event review or main event show keep saying review
Speaker 3: because I'm thinking about the podcast, it's on YouTube, so
Speaker 3: you're able to now watch the full show on YouTube,
Speaker 3: which is great. And yeah, that's pretty much probably the
Speaker 3: news that I've got, as well as Australia being updated
Speaker 3: with the months of when they're going to have the show.
Speaker 3: It's going to be in October. They have not confirmed
Speaker 3: the dates yet, but it will be sometime in October,
Speaker 3: and I'm hoping that it doesn't occur on a certain
Speaker 3: date in October where I am busy with something. I've
Speaker 3: got the Melbourne Marathon here in Australia and have to
Speaker 3: do that, so if it's not on that date, then
Speaker 3: I'll be extremely excited. I definitely will be going and
Speaker 3: I would love to meet anyone that is from Australia
Speaker 3: or New Zealand that's traveling down to watch the shows there,
Speaker 3: and also probably put some content on the podcast regarding
Speaker 3: what happens when I'm there as well, so extremely excited
Speaker 3: for more news there. Just want to get my hands
Speaker 3: on a ticket so I don't have to stress about yeah,
Speaker 3: not getting a ticket. I'm assuming it's going to be
Speaker 3: really expensive, so we'll try to probably just make two
Speaker 3: of the three shows. I definitely want to catch a
Speaker 3: house show and definitely want to catch a PLI, So yeah,
Speaker 3: really keen for that. But moving on, We're going to
Speaker 3: jump straight into the main event with Kaiser taking on
Speaker 3: Wack Him Wild here. So Kaiser gets his second match
Speaker 3: in a row on main event, which I found quite surprising.
Speaker 3: It does seem as though there's nothing on raw for
Speaker 3: him at the moment, which is also disappointing for him.
Speaker 3: He gets the victory here against a Woking World who
Speaker 3: is simply there to pretty much just get some singles experience.
Speaker 3: As I mentioned before, the fans do love his acrobatic
Speaker 3: in ring ability, but he fails to really connect with
Speaker 3: the crowd and he's very much attached with the lwos
Speaker 3: who's not really doing much anyway. So Kailes are getting
Speaker 3: the victory here makes sense, but again they are failing
Speaker 3: to really find anything for him to do. Which is
Speaker 3: quite disappointing. I've also seen Guntha being suspended indefinitely. Seems
Speaker 3: like he's going to be taking some time off after
Speaker 3: obviously what happened on Raw with him putting a sleeper
Speaker 3: on McAfee. The reason why I'm bringing that up is
Speaker 3: because there doesn't seem to be a program between those
Speaker 3: two either or split up, which is what I mentioned
Speaker 3: last week. I was hoping that maybe they could address
Speaker 3: them to splitting up Kais and maybe thinking that Guntha
Speaker 3: is not good enough and he will just leave the
Speaker 3: imperium or a program between the two. But yeah, Kais
Speaker 3: is not really doing anything on Raw, which is disappointing.
Speaker 3: But we see him my main and he gets some
Speaker 3: Spider momentum and the victory here, which is the most
Speaker 3: important thing. We then transition onto Raw, where we get
Speaker 3: John Cena entering the ring. Alicia Taylor's not there, but
Speaker 3: he basically tells the new ring announcer to pretty much
Speaker 3: say that he is the last ever real champion. I
Speaker 3: don't know the name of the new announcer, but he
Speaker 3: is on SmackDown on a regular basis, and he's doing
Speaker 3: a pretty decent job as a new ring announcer. But anyways,
Speaker 3: he tells us that winners right history. He's not impressed
Speaker 3: with the idea of how Vegas treats winners and losers.
Speaker 3: All of them apparently owe Sena an apology, to which
Speaker 3: they don't have the courage to do. But actually what's
Speaker 3: funny is the fans do end up saying sorry. They
Speaker 3: chant that, but John Cena agrees that they're all sorry,
Speaker 3: which means nothing to them, and that they're all sorry people.
Speaker 3: He wonders how this crowd can mean anything to him
Speaker 3: right now, as the only thing that matters is his
Speaker 3: thirty six dates. He counts down each of the time
Speaker 3: he's been featured since then, which knocks us down to
Speaker 3: twenty seven. It's not matches in its appearance, and I
Speaker 3: like the line here where he mentioned that he doesn't
Speaker 3: have to wrestle, he just has to show up and
Speaker 3: when that number hit zero, apparently the wrestling timeline stops,
Speaker 3: which also doesn't really make sense because he says that
Speaker 3: that title will be gone. Yes, he knows that there'll
Speaker 3: be a new title, but when it comes to like
Speaker 3: mentioning that no one's going to be able to get
Speaker 3: the world title or be a multiple time champion John
Speaker 3: ConA fails to forget there still is a World Heavyweight
Speaker 3: Championship title there as well, So he may be taking
Speaker 3: the WWE Championship and they may make a new belt
Speaker 3: in his eyes, but there's still the World Heavyweight Championship here.
Speaker 3: So yeah, apparently the best chance was Cody Roads. I
Speaker 3: will digress, and he was out wrestled and destroyed and
Speaker 3: the fans seem to be booing Cody Roads, which was
Speaker 3: quite interesting. It did fed into what John Cena is
Speaker 3: talking about and his main kind of problem with the
Speaker 3: fans having a dysfunctional relationship cheering and when they seem
Speaker 3: so that does make sense, and really the fans proved
Speaker 3: that for doing Cody Rhodes. But basically he tells everyone
Speaker 3: to get their phones out, which kind of just alludes
Speaker 3: to the fact that he's still is interested in the
Speaker 3: fans because of what happened. Later, he mentions the last
Speaker 3: real champion is here, and just before he gets Randyorden
Speaker 3: comes out. So randyordon does come out, which is a
Speaker 3: major surprise or not really, but to him him going
Speaker 3: to the point to yell shit, which was pretty funny.
Speaker 3: Just before he copped it An RKO and Randyordan does
Speaker 3: hold about here. This obviously makes sense given that the
Speaker 3: backlash is going to be in Saint Louis, then alluding
Speaker 3: to the fact that if John Cena does, you know,
Speaker 3: take the WWE Championship title, Randyornan still has a chance
Speaker 3: to get seventeen titles. He just has to go for
Speaker 3: the World Heavyweight Championship. So even if they change it
Speaker 3: so again, the logic is really flawed with John Cena
Speaker 3: taking out this WWE Championship again. It does fit to
Speaker 3: the story that he wants to rule wrestling Maania et
Speaker 3: cetera stretcher. He knows that it's going to get a
Speaker 3: new belt, but it's just hard to really align eff
Speaker 3: it when you've got a World Everyweight Championship belt on
Speaker 3: raw and with Jay Usso at the moment. But I
Speaker 3: think a lot of people are getting their opinions on
Speaker 3: John Cena's hill turn at the moment and how he's
Speaker 3: been as a heel. I think John Cena is doing
Speaker 3: a good job. Obviously, it seems that it's not real
Speaker 3: because of the fact that we've been so used to
Speaker 3: John Cena being a baby face for pretty much his
Speaker 3: whole wrestling career, it's really hard to kind of take
Speaker 3: the hill run seriously, but he's really doing a good
Speaker 3: job in it. The fact that he's obviously cussing out
Speaker 3: the crowd trying to get them to boo him. It's
Speaker 3: just hard when he's pretty much the goat. We all
Speaker 3: know it's going to be his last year, and yeah,
Speaker 3: we're basically getting what we thought John Cena was going
Speaker 3: to be if he was ever a heel. So if
Speaker 3: we take out the fan reaction, the holistic point of
Speaker 3: the fact that he's won seventeen titles, the fact that
Speaker 3: his last year, if you look at him just simply
Speaker 3: as character, I think he's done a really good job
Speaker 3: of being a heel. It's just a shame that they
Speaker 3: weren't able to pull the trigger a long time ago
Speaker 3: when this should have really happened and he would have
Speaker 3: got the heat. But again, the fans are getting what
Speaker 3: they want. They're getting a John Cena Hill turn, They're
Speaker 3: getting a character that they never thought would happen. We're
Speaker 3: gonna literally see Randy Orden versus John Cena, where the
Speaker 3: roles of reverse because every time they're versed, Johnsen has
Speaker 3: always been the babyface and Randy Orden has always been
Speaker 3: the heel that's gonna literally flip. So again, the fans
Speaker 3: are not going to probably encourage this, but if you
Speaker 3: look at how he's performing, I think he's doing a
Speaker 3: good job. And there's no hiding the fact that obviously
Speaker 3: we know that this is a performance, so it's very
Speaker 3: hard to take it seriously as well, so all these
Speaker 3: things to consider here. It may have been too late,
Speaker 3: but I'm happy that it's happened because finally we get
Speaker 3: the question answered how John Cena as a heel really
Speaker 3: is and that's kind of what was the stain on
Speaker 3: his career that was really the stain on his legacy
Speaker 3: was that he was never able to really really So
Speaker 3: he's doing that right now. I think as a character
Speaker 3: is doing a great job. The fans probably need to
Speaker 3: boom a bit more. And I think that he's still
Speaker 3: got a whole year to really sell this, Like eventually
Speaker 3: he's going to turn face, Eventually he's going to retire,
Speaker 3: and everyone is going to be happy. But let's enjoy
Speaker 3: this character that we never thought we'd have. I think
Speaker 3: if the fans appreciate that more, we'll be able to
Speaker 3: get the best of John Cena and the crowd really
Speaker 3: needs to boot. They just need to boo him despite
Speaker 3: whatever they think. The more booze and the more heat
Speaker 3: he gets, the better this run will be. So that's
Speaker 3: probably all I'm gonna mention on John Cena and continue this.
Speaker 3: He'll turn change because Becky Lynch on Raw turned heel
Speaker 3: on La Valkyria. We do get them before losing the
Speaker 3: titles once just winning it from WrestleMania to Live Morgan
Speaker 3: and Racal Rodriguez. With Becky Lynch turning hell. This makes
Speaker 3: a whole lot of sense for probably so many different reasons.
Speaker 3: So the first reason being that we now find out
Speaker 3: who attacked Bailey. I mentioned how it was unfair on
Speaker 3: Bailey to get attacked the night before WrestleMania. I think
Speaker 3: that was extremely unfair. We get a bit of a
Speaker 3: small storyline to that they may set up something between
Speaker 3: her and Becky Lynch in the future Lyra Tool Belts.
Speaker 3: Lyra Two Belts wasn't going to last for for too long.
Speaker 3: I suspected because again really doesn't make sense for her
Speaker 3: to hold two titles for too long. The focus should
Speaker 3: be on the title that she has and Becky Lynch
Speaker 3: and Seth Rowlins are married, so I guess if you
Speaker 3: want to take out well, kay fabe, you've got Seth
Speaker 3: Rowlins who's just turned heel, and you've got Becky Lynch,
Speaker 3: who just turned hell. Now, so we get two partners,
Speaker 3: two couples that are both hell too. I do like
Speaker 3: the heel turn. I don't like the fact that she
Speaker 3: came in and did the manhandle slam again when the
Speaker 3: crowd told her to. That's not the point of a heel.
Speaker 3: You're not supposed to give the crowd what they want.
Speaker 3: But again, this is going to be a good feud
Speaker 3: for Lara Valkira. This is going to potentially put her over.
Speaker 3: They may give the title to Becky Lynch has mentioned
Speaker 3: because they might partner up her with Bailey and do
Speaker 3: a program together. But again, I think this is not
Speaker 3: the worst thing ever. I think Becky Lynch coming back
Speaker 3: as a face she's been there for a long time.
Speaker 3: Good He'll run here might elevate Laa Vakira and make
Speaker 3: that intercontinental title a little bit more relevant because we
Speaker 3: haven't really seen much from it since she's been the
Speaker 3: first ever champion. So we'll have to wait and see
Speaker 3: how that goes. I do like the He'll Turn again.
Speaker 3: I really still feel bad for Bailey not getting a
Speaker 3: Wrestlemani appearance there. We then get back to the main
Speaker 3: event with the new Catch Republic taking on American Made.
Speaker 3: So it looks like that Pete done since Tyler Bates
Speaker 3: come back, is back to a face and they're back together.
Speaker 3: You can see that Tyler Bay is enthusiastic getting on
Speaker 3: amongst the crowd, and Pete Dune looks extremely bitter. Not
Speaker 3: sure whether that's just him maintaining his character or just
Speaker 3: being how he is, but I think that I'd like
Speaker 3: to see Pete dunturn on Time Debate. Just seems that
Speaker 3: Pete Dunn has elevated past being a tag team. I
Speaker 3: know that he didn't really do much as a single star,
Speaker 3: but he had some pretty notable feuds with Penta, with Seamus,
Speaker 3: and I think a good He'll run for Pete Dunn
Speaker 3: would be something of some more interest. Turning on Tyler
Speaker 3: Bait might reignite some fire that Pete Dunn sort of
Speaker 3: had last year. And as for Tyler Bay, he just
Speaker 3: got back from injuries, so he's looking just to get
Speaker 3: some more momentum. They do get the victory here against
Speaker 3: American Made, who for some reason have just decided to
Speaker 3: be jobbers. I'm not really sure what they're doing with
Speaker 3: them now. You think that they would be a bit
Speaker 3: more kind of like pushed because of the fact that
Speaker 3: we've got al Guando, Americano and the Creed Brothers are
Speaker 3: really really good athletes that could be a potential mid
Speaker 3: card faction here with Chad Gable potentially winning the Intercontinental
Speaker 3: title in the future, or American or Americano and the
Speaker 3: Creed Brothers potentially winning World Tag team as well. They
Speaker 3: need the World Tag Team division to kind of ramp up,
Speaker 3: so it definitely is sad to see them kind of
Speaker 3: taking losses. I know we've got a Heel Champion Heell
Speaker 3: Champions at the moment with the New Day, but still
Speaker 3: having American Made building momentum, I think made the more
Speaker 3: sense with Newcatch Republic, who I don't think is a
Speaker 3: functional tag team anymore. I don't think they should just
Speaker 3: be a tag team. I think they should go off
Speaker 3: their separate ways. Pete Dunn should really just initiate that
Speaker 3: with a turn on his friend. So don't really see
Speaker 3: why they were given the victory here. It didn't really
Speaker 3: make sense for booking, but nevertheless, they get the victory
Speaker 3: there and America made forced to take another loss. Speaking
Speaker 3: just quickly about the Tag Team division, I'm still shocked
Speaker 3: that the World Tag Team Champions were defended before the
Speaker 3: Tag Team Champions based on the events that happened on SmackDown,
Speaker 3: but I'll leave that for next week. Just thought i'd
Speaker 3: put my two cents in that. We then basically close
Speaker 3: the show with Monday Night Raw Seth Rolins and Paul
Speaker 3: Haymon coming into the ring. Seth Rowlins basically saying that
Speaker 3: he was the winner of the main event and he
Speaker 3: is basically a revolutionary Paul Hayman joining the side of
Speaker 3: Seth Rowlins, which I'm loving so far. It does make
Speaker 3: sense for Paul Hayman to be a heel. It just
Speaker 3: again as mentioned last week again, and I keep going
Speaker 3: back to last week, Paul Haymon being a heel manager
Speaker 3: just makes sense. Him being a face manager doesn't really
Speaker 3: do much for any superstar. I think Paul hayman Is
Speaker 3: best work is when he's a heel, so it's great
Speaker 3: that he's teamed up with Steph Rowlins here.
Speaker 4: We then get.
Speaker 3: Seampunk coming into the ring, attacking, trying to attack Seth Rowlins,
Speaker 3: stumping him into the corner, and as he continues to
Speaker 3: do that, he finally is able to get his hands
Speaker 3: on Paul Hayman as a themes. Then Seth Rolins rakes
Speaker 3: his eyes and then hits him with a curb stump basically.
Speaker 3: Then Paul Hayman gets on the mic and pretty much
Speaker 3: mentions that he is the reigning, defending, undisputed top guy
Speaker 3: in WWE. To then Roman Rains' interrupts and comes and
Speaker 3: spears Seth Rolans Superman punches Paul Hayman and as he's
Speaker 3: about to hit the spear and this honestly shocked the
Speaker 3: shit out of me, sorry for my language, but bron Breaker,
Speaker 3: out of nowhere spears Roman reigns. So we get bron
Speaker 3: Breaker coming and joining allegiance with Seth Rolans and with
Speaker 3: Paul Hayman, which is incredible, incredible. If there was any person,
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people have said it, that
Speaker 3: is the perfect Paul Hayman guy. It is bron Breaker.
Speaker 3: And now I can understand why they got him away
Speaker 3: from the Intercontinental title, because bron Breaker is the real
Speaker 3: deal and They are pushing this bloke to the moon.
Speaker 3: They have put a rocket on bron Breaker. They have
Speaker 3: associated him now into main event territory and this is
Speaker 3: just fantastic. Anyways, I'll continue. He gets out of the ring,
Speaker 3: goes to try attack Ramond rains Roman Rains Lands and
Speaker 3: Uppercut and you can see Brun's reaction. You know what's
Speaker 3: about to happen, does a full ring sprint all around
Speaker 3: the ring and spears Roman reigns into the barricade, then
Speaker 3: brings him into the ring. Seth Rowlins then curb stumping
Speaker 3: the both of them, and you can see the new
Speaker 3: potential faction putting their hands up to the sky and
Speaker 3: celebrating what is an extremely good victory. And you know
Speaker 3: what I found super powerful was when I saw bron
Speaker 3: Breaker get kissed by Paul Hayman on the forehead and
Speaker 3: just that hug there you can just oh, I love it.
Speaker 3: I love this. I think WWD did a really good
Speaker 3: job in booking this. I did personally at first thought
Speaker 3: thought that Seth Rowlins was going to team up with
Speaker 3: John Cena, But it seems as though they're going to
Speaker 3: create another faction here. There might be another the Superstar
Speaker 3: into this, But I have a feeling that no, I
Speaker 3: feel like it's just going to be these two with
Speaker 3: Paul Hayman at the Helm. But you never know, it
Speaker 3: might be an evolution two point zero here. We'll have
Speaker 3: to wait and see. But I loved it. I love
Speaker 3: this booking. I love Brondbreaker being in those kind of
Speaker 3: higher ranks, getting away from the Intercontinental title, getting away
Speaker 3: from the mid card. He is the real deal. He
Speaker 3: is definitely the future of this company. When he first started,
Speaker 3: he was just out there wrecking people. I'm just I'm
Speaker 3: just really happy with this, honestly, and I think that
Speaker 3: Seth Rolans teaming up with Paul Hayman is perfect. I
Speaker 3: remember Seth Rowlands being the face of the company with
Speaker 3: the authority, doing a fantastic job in that role. He
Speaker 3: is the perfect guy to be the main guy in
Speaker 3: this in this faction, and I'm extremely excited to see
Speaker 3: what's going to happen here. It seems as though backlash
Speaker 3: is set up for these two fighting Seampunk and Roman reigns,
Speaker 3: but we'll have to wait and see as to what happens. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the raw after WrestleMania was fantastic. The two main event
Speaker 3: matches were great and that's going to be it for
Speaker 3: this week's main event review until next week. Hopefully we
Speaker 3: have a few more questions answered in regards to Becky
Speaker 3: Lynch's heel turn, and we're going to see hopefully this
Speaker 3: new fanction be addressed, maybe with an extra superstar. We'll
Speaker 3: have to wait and see. But again, it's been your boy, Daniel.
Speaker 3: You've listened to another main event review and hope you
Speaker 3: guys enjoy the rest of your week. Cheers.
