WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 1>This is WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to

2
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the WWE podcast show.

3
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>The one that everybody wants.

4
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:29.600
<v Speaker 3>Me sixteen, So that your ass is my eye, you're

5
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:30.559
<v Speaker 3>going to acknowledge me.

6
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 2>What is going on everybody? And welcome to another main

7
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.320
<v Speaker 2>event review. Thank you very much for tuning in once again.

8
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.799
<v Speaker 2>I just came back from a four day vacation. You

9
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:49.079
<v Speaker 2>guys call a vacation. I call it a holiday, same

10
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.439
<v Speaker 2>old I guess, but from Interstate in Tasmania, small little

11
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.359
<v Speaker 2>island off the shore of Australia. It's the little separate

12
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.560
<v Speaker 2>island at the bottom for those that don't know. Was

13
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.799
<v Speaker 2>there for four or five days, which is pretty nice.

14
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Hence the late main event review episode, but still another

15
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>episode to get through. Now that we've passed the SummerSlam review,

16
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 2>we're back to normal proceedings. And before I probably start this,

17
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 2>I want to address the obvious announcement of carrying a

18
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 2>cross and scarlet not being renewed, or their contract's not

19
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 2>being renewed for WWE. Looks as though that they're officially

20
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>not going to be part of WWE, which to me

21
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 2>is a massive blow and a shame, A lot of

22
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.040
<v Speaker 2>people are saying if this could be a work or not.

23
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 2>But my feeling towards this that it's not going to be.

24
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 2>And the reason why I think the way that Cross

25
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 2>announced it and what's happened with Our Truth, I don't

26
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>think it's got the similar sort of storyline or sort

27
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 2>of way it's been described, especially the fact that once

28
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Our Truth did get released, he didn't really address it

29
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:01.599
<v Speaker 2>on his social media as Cross did and a Scarlet did.

30
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>So Yeah, it looked as though that he was getting

31
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>a push, and people are saying that he didn't get

32
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.919
<v Speaker 2>the push he deserved. He did end up getting a

33
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>match of SummerSlam, which to me was a pretty decent push.

34
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure if they were just trying to close

35
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.439
<v Speaker 2>him out with a SummerSlam match, or even if they

36
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 2>had more plans for him that Cross probably wasn't happy

37
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 2>about or whatever. They did sort of push him because

38
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 2>he ended up being at SummerSlam, which is a massive event.

39
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.879
<v Speaker 2>But again, we're not going to really know the full

40
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.039
<v Speaker 2>potential of carrying Cross. He never had a title around

41
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 2>his belt, and I guess from what I've seen and

42
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 2>what I've seen on YouTube and basically what he's been quoted.

43
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:45.800
<v Speaker 2>It does seem as though he's been getting a lot

44
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Speaker 2>of support from other superstars, such as Our Truth, who've

45
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 2>mentioned that he's got the fans's approval, which is bigger

46
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 2>than any title that could be one. So that's awesome,

47
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, it's going to be I guess a big

48
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 2>loss for him not being there and not really seeing

49
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:07.120
<v Speaker 2>what he could have been as this new character that

50
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 2>was supposedly getting pushed further with that Summer Stay match

51
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.319
<v Speaker 2>and we didn't know what was next. He did say

52
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 2>that he wanted to start a new faction that was rejected,

53
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 2>so Cross did have some ideas, and I guess that's

54
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 2>probably why they didn't come to an agreement, is that

55
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't able to really have a control on what

56
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.639
<v Speaker 2>he wanted to do or what he deemed best fit

57
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.719
<v Speaker 2>for himself and trying to kind of make it out

58
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.319
<v Speaker 2>of the industry to sort of get that sort of

59
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 2>push that he deserved. And he did win the fans over,

60
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>and I think that's something that's really important. He won

61
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:45.159
<v Speaker 2>me over, especially with that promo post WrestleMania, and he

62
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of support from the universe, so maybe

63
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>we'll see some we want Cross chance on raw and

64
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 2>maybe it could be a work. That's probably what we're

65
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.080
<v Speaker 2>hoping for. But it really seems as though the chapter

66
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.599
<v Speaker 2>is going to be closed on Karen Cross's WDA career

67
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 2>and whoever takes him, whether it's AW or an independent circuit,

68
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.159
<v Speaker 2>they're going to do. Oh, they're going to have someone

69
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.159
<v Speaker 2>that's probably going to be a star of the company

70
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, and who knows, you might come back

71
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 2>to ww again after a few years if things work

72
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.160
<v Speaker 2>out in those other circuits, but we'll have to I guess, yeah,

73
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.240
<v Speaker 2>wait and see on that. But moving on, we'll go

74
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.120
<v Speaker 2>straight to the main event review. We have Chelsea Green

75
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.079
<v Speaker 2>getting on main Event, which where she had a large

76
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 2>pop from the crowd. A lot of people were getting

77
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.680
<v Speaker 2>behind her, and she took on BFAB again b Fab

78
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 2>somehow getting a singles match on main event and obviously

79
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.079
<v Speaker 2>she loses. Chelsea Green gets the victory here. The fans

80
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 2>went crazy and you could hear her kind of taunting

81
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.079
<v Speaker 2>and chaining and saying that they love her, and we

82
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 2>really do. I'm a massive fan of Chelsea Green. I

83
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.639
<v Speaker 2>love her character. I love that she's willing to sort

84
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 2>of do anything it takes to get crowd heat and

85
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>fan reactions and she comes off as this ditsy, dumb wrestler.

86
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.800
<v Speaker 2>But it works perfectly. And I wouldn't change her character.

87
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.519
<v Speaker 2>I't I wouldn't turn her into a babyface. I'd keep

88
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.879
<v Speaker 2>her how she is. Obviously, she's getting a lot of

89
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>cheers from the crowd is because people really resent and

90
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 2>relate to her character and know she's doing a really

91
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.720
<v Speaker 2>good job there. And side note, for those that watch

92
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 2>WWN reel, it does cover her story as well, and

93
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 2>I've got some pretty different takes to it. I kind

94
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 2>of do like the idea of ww Unreel. I really

95
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 2>did enjoy the series. I like the idea that it

96
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:34.000
<v Speaker 2>really shows what wrestling is about and the work that's required.

97
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:38.199
<v Speaker 2>And I think for existing wrestling fans, and obviously I'm

98
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.240
<v Speaker 2>going off topic here, but I wanted to bring this

99
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 2>up for existing wrestling fans, it's obviously and I do

100
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 2>understand why they would think that it's showing too much

101
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>and it sort of kind of ruins the spark of

102
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:51.959
<v Speaker 2>wrestling and what we love. But I sort of see

103
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.639
<v Speaker 2>the other side in that you want to attract new fans,

104
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.279
<v Speaker 2>and that's what WDWWD is trying to do, and I

105
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.399
<v Speaker 2>think the best way to sort of attract new fans

106
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.079
<v Speaker 2>is to really see what goes on behind the scenes

107
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.600
<v Speaker 2>and actually show what's real in wrestling, because a lot

108
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.240
<v Speaker 2>of the superstitions and a lot of what people say

109
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 2>is that wrestling is fake. And then when you see

110
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>a documentary like this, you understand the work that goes

111
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 2>into sort of what they do and realize that, no,

112
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.800
<v Speaker 2>it's not fake. It is a performance. But at the

113
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, most of the stuff that's done

114
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 2>and the hard work and stuff that needs that you

115
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.759
<v Speaker 2>need to do to get there, the crazy storylines intricacies

116
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 2>that go about it is crazy and I kind of

117
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.160
<v Speaker 2>I kind of like that, and I kind of like

118
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.560
<v Speaker 2>that they covered that. But that's something that personally I

119
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.399
<v Speaker 2>really like is when you see sort of behind the

120
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.279
<v Speaker 2>scenes in what works. And I like it in sport

121
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 2>documentaries as well. We see it in other series such

122
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 2>as Quarterback and etc. So, without rambling too much, I

123
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:51.519
<v Speaker 2>love WWN Real And the reason why I brought it

124
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.120
<v Speaker 2>up is because Chelsea Green is on it and you

125
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.120
<v Speaker 2>really see her in real life, how she's like and

126
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.839
<v Speaker 2>how much she's willing to sort of give for the business,

127
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 2>which is resonated here. And also when we saw on SmackDown.

128
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I know it's not a SmackDown review, but when she

129
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.160
<v Speaker 2>had the cake in her face, like she's willing to

130
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.360
<v Speaker 2>do all those things, and that's why I love her

131
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:11.959
<v Speaker 2>and that's why a lot of fans love her too.

132
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.279
<v Speaker 2>So it's great to see that Chelsea Green is getting

133
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.879
<v Speaker 2>the victory and having more momentum going forward as well.

134
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:22.560
<v Speaker 2>We then had on Raw, Charlotte Flair and Alexiblisz come

135
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>out to basically celebrate their tag team victory against Rakhal

136
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:31.160
<v Speaker 2>and Roxanne of the Judgment Day. They come out demanding

137
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:35.199
<v Speaker 2>a rematch, which they get and they keep their titles,

138
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.720
<v Speaker 2>So not too much going on there. It was expected

139
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:39.480
<v Speaker 2>that they were going to keep the titles. I think

140
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.360
<v Speaker 2>this was to sort of close the Judgment Days chapter,

141
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.560
<v Speaker 2>which is probably something that will be good for Charlotte

142
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.759
<v Speaker 2>Flair and Alexa Bliz. They're definitely elevating the women's tag

143
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.959
<v Speaker 2>team division already with their sort of relationship at the moment,

144
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:56.120
<v Speaker 2>and Charlotte Flair looks to finally have found herself as

145
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:59.120
<v Speaker 2>someone that is relaxed and enjoying her wrestling and enjoying

146
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.480
<v Speaker 2>the time has on the mic as well, which is

147
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 2>why I think the fans are enjoying her too. So

148
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:08.720
<v Speaker 2>I guess we'll continue to see how those two go

149
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 2>eventually when they do split up, Hopefully it's not, like

150
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.439
<v Speaker 2>Matt has said in his reviews, to a point where

151
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.079
<v Speaker 2>they need to fight each other, because I don't think

152
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.319
<v Speaker 2>that is necessary here. I think them splitting up is

153
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.199
<v Speaker 2>fine to go like mutually and respectfully as well, but

154
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:26.600
<v Speaker 2>it will be a good, enjoyable run with these two

155
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.639
<v Speaker 2>having the tag team titles, I think, and I think

156
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 2>it is something that both these superstars need to sort

157
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:34.639
<v Speaker 2>of stay relevant as well as when they both come back.

158
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:38.840
<v Speaker 2>They didn't really seem to have anything significant, and even

159
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.919
<v Speaker 2>when you talk about Charlie Flair being significant, she was

160
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.000
<v Speaker 2>simply there to put Tiviny Stratton over. I think that

161
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 2>was the objective there. But for something that can propel

162
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.679
<v Speaker 2>her and really make her, I guess win the fans

163
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.480
<v Speaker 2>back and sort of get that babyface character back is

164
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that's something she truly wanted. This is perfect

165
00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 2>for her, and I think Alexa Bliss is really popular

166
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:02.600
<v Speaker 2>and that supports it as well, and it also gives

167
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:06.240
<v Speaker 2>her something something to do too. We move on to

168
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:12.159
<v Speaker 2>the back to the Women's Intocontinental Championship sort of talks

169
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 2>with Becky Lynch coming out and essentially pulling out a

170
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:19.159
<v Speaker 2>promo basically saying that her time with Lara's done and

171
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.759
<v Speaker 2>she needs a new challenge. And that's where Nicki Bala

172
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:25.639
<v Speaker 2>comes in. So something refreshing here. They take heaps of

173
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.399
<v Speaker 2>shots at each other, but this promo we can talk

174
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:30.799
<v Speaker 2>about and review all we want, but it's always going

175
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:34.360
<v Speaker 2>to be remembered for the line that Becky Lynch mentioned

176
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:40.039
<v Speaker 2>about her being the greatest couple with Steph Rowlins in wrestling,

177
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:44.080
<v Speaker 2>and it could have been Nicki Balla because oh wait,

178
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>that's what she mentioned. Well obviously we all knew what

179
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 2>she was talking about. And then she mentioned that I

180
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:52.600
<v Speaker 2>guess she can't see him anymore, which was just an

181
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:55.399
<v Speaker 2>unbelievable line to a point where if you look at

182
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:57.960
<v Speaker 2>the crowds reaction, there's one guy I kind of remember

183
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.200
<v Speaker 2>what he looked like that pretty much presented everyone in

184
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:06.559
<v Speaker 2>that line. It was an unbelievable promo from Becky Lynch,

185
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.720
<v Speaker 2>and I really think she torched Nicky Bella here. I

186
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.759
<v Speaker 2>think it's really hard to come back from that. Hopefully

187
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:13.759
<v Speaker 2>that was sort of rehearsed and Nicky Bella was aware

188
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:15.639
<v Speaker 2>of it because it looked like she was stunned. But

189
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.200
<v Speaker 2>it was an excellent line from Becky Lynch, and I

190
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 2>think this is probably going to set up a match

191
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:24.159
<v Speaker 2>between these two and Nicky Balla gets something to do

192
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.039
<v Speaker 2>against Becky Lynch, which is going to be a quite

193
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.240
<v Speaker 2>decent match, and I think a perfect match for where

194
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:31.919
<v Speaker 2>Nicki Bella should be at the moment, and also for

195
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Becky Lynch to sort of move on and continue feuds

196
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 2>with other superstars. And I thought that they were gonna

197
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:42.360
<v Speaker 2>put Lyra over here, but with this Nicki Blla element,

198
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it's the right decision what they've done, so

199
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.039
<v Speaker 2>I we'll look forward for that and maybe on Raw

200
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.279
<v Speaker 2>in the next episode, Nicki Bella comes back and puts

201
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:55.080
<v Speaker 2>out some decent shots firing forward. We then get the

202
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.639
<v Speaker 2>second main event match and that is the war Raiders

203
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:01.159
<v Speaker 2>taking on the LWO and we have the war Raiders

204
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.320
<v Speaker 2>getting the victory here with their finisher. This tag team

205
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.639
<v Speaker 2>division is so underwhelming, like besides these two, the New

206
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.919
<v Speaker 2>Day and the Judgment Day, there isn't really much going on,

207
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:14.960
<v Speaker 2>and it's a shame because you see what's happening on

208
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:19.519
<v Speaker 2>SmackDown and how well that division's going, you kind of

209
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.799
<v Speaker 2>wish the same for Raw. It comes to a point

210
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:25.159
<v Speaker 2>where should they just unify the titles and then make

211
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:28.919
<v Speaker 2>the tag team division cross branded because there doesn't seem

212
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:32.000
<v Speaker 2>to be enough going on on Raw and the SmackDown

213
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Division just looks a lot better at the moment. So

214
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:38.519
<v Speaker 2>it's something to think about, especially when it's the same

215
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:41.600
<v Speaker 2>four teams going at it and there isn't really much

216
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:45.600
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of being sorted. So I guess that's something

217
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.360
<v Speaker 2>that probably have to consider. If it was up to me,

218
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 2>I would definitely just have one tag team championship just

219
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:56.279
<v Speaker 2>because there's not enough divisions or not enough tag teams

220
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.600
<v Speaker 2>in the divisions I think to really sustain Raw unless

221
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.559
<v Speaker 2>they find under way to do what I guess Charlotte

222
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Flair and Alexi Blessed did and get two single stars

223
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.519
<v Speaker 2>and bring them together. Another one could be maybe bringing

224
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.080
<v Speaker 2>the USO's back and just getting them to win another

225
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.120
<v Speaker 2>tag team title too. I think that's the one that

226
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.399
<v Speaker 2>makes sense there. And before I might add, SmackDown Division

227
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.759
<v Speaker 2>is getting better because they've got now Talatanga and Jason

228
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Matteo who are probably in contendership for the tag team

229
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.559
<v Speaker 2>titles on SmackDown too, So maybe one of those tag

230
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.039
<v Speaker 2>teams that are on SmackDown need to move to Raw

231
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.320
<v Speaker 2>to make this better, or again, as I mentioned, they

232
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.200
<v Speaker 2>need to do the same thing as they did with

233
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.919
<v Speaker 2>Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, which is something that I've

234
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.559
<v Speaker 2>mentioned before, because yeah, there's not really much going on,

235
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:44.120
<v Speaker 2>like who are the Judgment Day realistically going to battle

236
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.759
<v Speaker 2>the titles for Who's going to try to take him off?

237
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.320
<v Speaker 2>His New Day going to go back and have another

238
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.240
<v Speaker 2>rematch and we're going to have two heels there. A

239
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:54.600
<v Speaker 2>lot of people are quite underwhelmed by the New Day's run,

240
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:56.960
<v Speaker 2>but I think that it would have been great for

241
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 2>the New Day to hold the titles a little longer,

242
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:02.039
<v Speaker 2>so then we'll wa to really see in full force

243
00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:05.840
<v Speaker 2>how they go as a tag team, being a heel

244
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.919
<v Speaker 2>tag team as well, Like we see them without the

245
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.759
<v Speaker 2>titles them doing pretty decent job. But I think with

246
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.480
<v Speaker 2>the titles that they've proven to be a multi championship team,

247
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.960
<v Speaker 2>so why wouldn't they just keep the titles on the longer.

248
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:21.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't I don't get it, but again, it's what

249
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:24.679
<v Speaker 2>it is, and the Raw tag team division is is

250
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.600
<v Speaker 2>very down at the moment, and I think the war

251
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Raiders as they come back, is everyone going to be

252
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:32.240
<v Speaker 2>realistically excited to see the war Raiders battle the Judgment

253
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.639
<v Speaker 2>Day for like the eightieth time. So yeah, don't really

254
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:38.440
<v Speaker 2>know what's going to happen there. We then move on

255
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:41.320
<v Speaker 2>to the final segment of Raw, which sort of starts

256
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.559
<v Speaker 2>with the start where La Knight comes in basically challenges

257
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Seth Rolins for the World Heavyweight Championship. Basically this is

258
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.159
<v Speaker 2>because he did beat Seth Rolins, although it was injury

259
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Russ on main event, Alley Knight is addressing that. So

260
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.240
<v Speaker 2>it's great to see La Knight in sort of those

261
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:00.879
<v Speaker 2>World Heavyweight Championship talks, and it's great to see him

262
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.240
<v Speaker 2>on Raw. I really like him on Raw, and I

263
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.600
<v Speaker 2>really like that they're sort of pushing him and getting

264
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:08.759
<v Speaker 2>him involved in titles like this and in sort of

265
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:11.120
<v Speaker 2>feuds like this as well. Because on SmackDown, I think

266
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 2>with Cody Rhodes being there and the main baby face,

267
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:16.240
<v Speaker 2>it makes sense for all a Night to do something

268
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.679
<v Speaker 2>on Monday Night raw as well. He then gets himself

269
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:22.480
<v Speaker 2>into a match as mentioned, Alex Peers sets up the

270
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.000
<v Speaker 2>match and we have all A Knight take on Seth Rowlins,

271
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.360
<v Speaker 2>where we have seam Punk coming in and interrupting the

272
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.639
<v Speaker 2>match as well. So Seth Ranz gets the victory by

273
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.559
<v Speaker 2>dq l A. Night wasn't too happy with that. And

274
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:38.480
<v Speaker 2>then we had basically a brawl in the ring where

275
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:40.679
<v Speaker 2>we had Bronson Reed and bron Breaker come out, bron

276
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Breaker with another mean spear. The way he sprinted to

277
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:47.200
<v Speaker 2>the apron to the ring was unreal when he first

278
00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:50.559
<v Speaker 2>laid his eyes on Punk and just speared him crazily.

279
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.159
<v Speaker 2>And then they get attacked and then we see Roman

280
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Reigns come out, who I think left it pretty late

281
00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:59.600
<v Speaker 2>and he got out numbered as well, so he also

282
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:03.200
<v Speaker 2>got Brilliant attacked and Bronson Reed took his shoes again,

283
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.840
<v Speaker 2>so it seems as though they're running with this gimmick

284
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.759
<v Speaker 2>of Bronson Reed taking Ramon Rains's shoes, calling him the

285
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:12.639
<v Speaker 2>shoe Lafala and the tribal Thief, which I kind of like.

286
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.879
<v Speaker 2>It makes Bronson Reed look a bit more kind of

287
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.879
<v Speaker 2>significant in this sort of faction. I think he's very

288
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:20.919
<v Speaker 2>secondary to bron Breaker, and this sort of puts him

289
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.720
<v Speaker 2>in the spotlight a little bit, not probably for the

290
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:27.000
<v Speaker 2>reasons that I think make him better than bron breaking

291
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:30.320
<v Speaker 2>seth Rons, but definitely make him do something significant in

292
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.480
<v Speaker 2>the faction. And I sort of liked the idea of

293
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:34.519
<v Speaker 2>him just stealing the shoes and whatnot, so that was

294
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:38.240
<v Speaker 2>pretty cool. But it was pretty funny that seth rowlans.

295
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:40.799
<v Speaker 2>So Seampunk and Roman Reins had a bit of beef

296
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:43.559
<v Speaker 2>post match, where Seampunk told him it took him too

297
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:45.559
<v Speaker 2>long to get out, which which is so true, like

298
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.480
<v Speaker 2>why would Roman Reins wait for that long to come

299
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.159
<v Speaker 2>out where you literally have three of the of the

300
00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:53.799
<v Speaker 2>of the of the Superstars, or three of the faction,

301
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:57.759
<v Speaker 2>the full faction ready to sort of embrace him and

302
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.320
<v Speaker 2>not embrace him, but ready to attack him. He does

303
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.120
<v Speaker 2>do a decent job in defeating them, but then again

304
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:06.840
<v Speaker 2>it becomes a numbers game, and the numbers game become

305
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.080
<v Speaker 2>too strong, So it would have made sense if Romarins

306
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:11.879
<v Speaker 2>came out later. Maybe he wanted to see seeing punkket

307
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.519
<v Speaker 2>peting up and do it himself. But they have advertised

308
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Raman Rains as the main kind of face of the

309
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:24.159
<v Speaker 2>billboard for Clash in Paris, So it looks as though

310
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.799
<v Speaker 2>that Roman Reigns will be at Clash in Paris for

311
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:29.919
<v Speaker 2>what match I don't know, could be for the title.

312
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:32.519
<v Speaker 2>We could have a fatal four way here. We have

313
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:37.360
<v Speaker 2>three of the big baby faces on Raw being able

314
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:39.799
<v Speaker 2>to sort of compete for the title. So we'll have

315
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:42.480
<v Speaker 2>to wait and see on that one and see what

316
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:45.720
<v Speaker 2>really happens. So that's going to be super interesting. I'm

317
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.919
<v Speaker 2>keen for that, and that pretty much concludes the main event,

318
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.159
<v Speaker 2>So thank you very much for tuning into another episode,

319
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:54.120
<v Speaker 2>this one obviously being a quicker one given that we

320
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:57.480
<v Speaker 2>don't have the PL reviews, but I'm pretty sure that

321
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:02.159
<v Speaker 2>will come very much quicker then expected because we have

322
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 2>the next PL at the end of August, Clash in Paris,

323
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:08.079
<v Speaker 2>which should be good. I don't know what to think

324
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:10.839
<v Speaker 2>about it. It's really hard to be excited for a

325
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:13.359
<v Speaker 2>PL after a main one, so we'll have to see

326
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:15.720
<v Speaker 2>what happens then and how the storyline is set up.

327
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.440
<v Speaker 2>But it looks as though there's some new storylines too,

328
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:21.960
<v Speaker 2>which keeps things very interesting. But again, it's been your boy, Daniel,

329
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:24.440
<v Speaker 2>You've listened to another main event review and I'll catch

330
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:26.000
