WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:06.519 This is WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to 2 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:16.000 the WWE podcast show. 3 00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:17.480 The one that Everybody wants. 4 00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:28.559 Me Stode sixteen. So God says, what your ass is, my. 5 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:30.559 Arm, you can acknowledge me. 6 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:40.439 Welcome everybody to the mailbag slash Elimination Chamber of preview show. 7 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.640 We've got a jam packed show here, with tomorrow night 8 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:50.119 being apparently, according to Triple H, an industry changing night. 9 00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:51.840 What does that mean? 10 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.880 Could just mean typical jargon, some marketing thrown in there 11 00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:01.560 to get people interested. I mean, Triple Ah, he has 12 00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:04.159 delivered every time he said that he's going to deliver, 13 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.000 and using industry changing is pretty strong language. It's not 14 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.239 just a historic night. They use that word over and 15 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.920 over and over, which often doesn't mean anything but industry changing. 16 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.040 I mean technically, no matter what happens, it's industry changing, 17 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:24.480 because every event that happens changes the industry, even if 18 00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:30.000 at the smallest level. So he's not wrong. But in 19 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.000 the context that we expect what industry changing is supposed 20 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.319 to mean, is it going to deliver? We'll find out. 21 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:38.920 I mean, yes, the Rock's going to be there, Cody 22 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.159 Roads is going to be there, we know he's going 23 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.239 to turn down the Rock, but what comes of it? 24 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.000 I think that's the biggest question coming into the Chamber 25 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:50.400 in terms of that story is not what does Cody say, 26 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.719 but rather what's the follow up after he says no? 27 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.480 Does the Rock have a backup to attack Cody? And 28 00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.560 if so, how does that leave and where does that 29 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.959 leave the person who leaves the chamber the winner, whether 30 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:09.000 it's Punk, Sena Rollins, where does that leave that winner? 31 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.879 Because if this chamber wasn't there to determine who's going 32 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:15.759 to face Cody, then you would imagine this segment is 33 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.639 leading to Cody versus The Rock for the championship. Now, 34 00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.840 the Rock could still be involved here while he said 35 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.919 this isn't necessarily going to end in a match. 36 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:25.280 What if he's lying? 37 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.439 He could simply be lying or rather diverting our attention. 38 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:32.759 I've heard a lot of good theories over the last 39 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:38.039 several days, everything from The Rock actually inserting himself in 40 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.159 if he's saying, You're not going to be my champion, 41 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:45.520 I'll be the effing champion, to Cody turning heel at 42 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:50.639 WrestleMania eventually selling out. While initially he rejects and resists, 43 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.479 He ends up taking the Rocks offer just a little 44 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.919 bit later on when it matters to keep the belt 45 00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:01.199 at WrestleMania, and then blaming the fans for not wanting 46 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.560 and lying to themselves they wouldn't have done the same 47 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:07.919 thing for their families. This is a story set up 48 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.039 for a heel turn, whether it's Cody or whether it's 49 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:16.319 somebody else. I feel like I've seen this before. We've 50 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.240 seen this movie before, We've seen this plot before. And 51 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.000 while you know the good guy is going to say 52 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:30.719 no initially, the more important question is does the temptation 53 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.639 at some point overtake them. Do they eventually get so 54 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.120 tempted to go to the dark side that they they 55 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.039 justify to themselves that they need to, that they had 56 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:47.159 no choice for their family's sake. We could be going there. 57 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.400 And if this is all leading to a Cody heel turn, 58 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:54.840 bring it on, baby. It's been three years. We've had 59 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:59.479 three years with Cody one of them as champion, and 60 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.719 some would say that's more than enough for a big 61 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:04.520 run as a baby face. You can always come back 62 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:08.400 to it. We know it works. We know it works, 63 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.439 and what do we do? So the WWE Creative has 64 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.439 a lot of options in front of them and a 65 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.600 big step, although certainly not all the answers are going 66 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.360 to be given to us tomorrow night, at least in 67 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:22.240 terms of where they could be going. And if they're 68 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.279 going that way, is this just a red herring for 69 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.879 another swerve that's going to take place at WrestleMania. Remember, 70 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:31.720 the payoff isn't isn't tomorrow night. The payoff is WrestleMania, 71 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.360 at least in big part. Of course, there's follow up, 72 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.839 there's backlash, there's you know, as the ples go on, 73 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.519 there's more, and even maybe out to next year Summer Slam. 74 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:45.360 But really the payoff is for all intents purposes, April 75 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:50.319 twentieth and twenty first. So let's get to those emails, everybody, 76 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.279 And if you want to join us, a good time 77 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:54.519 to do it is right now before the ple. If 78 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.519 you're listening after, you can still join us, of course, 79 00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.519 but right now is a great time because you can 80 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.439 get yourself an ad free experience of this show, including 81 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:07.680 the official review show Free Elimination Chamber coming to you 82 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:11.839 tomorrow Tomorrow night or Sunday. Sunday is probably the more 83 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:16.240 likely unless something incredibly crazy happens. It's just, honestly, it's 84 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:20.000 just not feasible for me on those nights with things 85 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.680 I have going on. It's really really difficult unless something 86 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.839 was to just be I gotta talk now. But you 87 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:29.000 can get yourself an AD free experience and set yourself 88 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.879 up for a week of AD free experience listening and 89 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:36.079 do that at patreon dot com slash WWE podcast.

I'm imagining 96 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.639 a lot of you guys have your own, your own predictions, 97 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.600 which I'm interested to hear. 98 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:04.680 So let's do it. All right, Let's. 99 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:06.759 Let's go to. 100 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:09.800 I was gonna get to Alex the French guy, but 101 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.000 he sent us a voicemail. We'll get to his voicemail 102 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:18.079 and a little bit. Let's get to Tom and he says, so, Matt, 103 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.040 tell me if this makes sense. Last year at the 104 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.160 Raw Aftermania, Rock asked Cody if he could hold his 105 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.839 belt and then told him after the Rock has to 106 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.040 go away for a little while, but when I come back, 107 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.720 I'm coming for that belt. I want that belt. He 108 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.560 was away for a while. He came back last week 109 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.399 on SmackDown and Cody. He told Cody, I don't care 110 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:37.439 about the belt. 111 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:38.519 I'm just confused. 112 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.480 Well, I mean, I don't think there's much to be 113 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.360 confused about it in that sense of just comparing what 114 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.120 they wanted to do. And I've mentioned it several times, 115 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:52.319 but I've come to the conclusion that it's simply they 116 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:55.639 wanted to do that long term and they've pivoted to 117 00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:01.480 something else. I think what happened here, while you're totally correct, 118 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.600 and again I've mentioned this several times from the raw 119 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:09.720 after Mania last year, they had this intention. They truly 120 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.879 meant this in they were gonna go this direction. And 121 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:17.040 that's partially while the Rock came back at Bad Blood, 122 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.680 which no one talks about or really don't have a 123 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.920 reason for. He just stood there, remember, and then we 124 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.120 didn't see him again for months, and everyone's like. 125 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:25.920 Well, what the F was that? 126 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.399 I think what happened is his schedule. I hate saying 127 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.160 this because we've been saying this for like eight years, 128 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.040 his schedule got all left up. He probably told WW crap, sorry, guys, 129 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.079 count me out this year, especially given what happened at 130 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:44.360 the Netflix Raw debut. The Rock was just Dwayne halfway 131 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:48.680 playing the final Boss, being baby Face and making love 132 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:52.800 with Cody Rose, and it was just sick, a horrible 133 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:54.959 version of The Rock that we saw on the Netflix 134 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.240 debut of Raw. Uh, And it seemed like he's probably out. 135 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.759 And then The Rock post something on Instagram several weeks 136 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:03.800 later saying, you know, I've got this one thing. I've 137 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.560 got this thing. I've got this thing. I've got this thing. 138 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.560 Presumably it's this thing he's doing now in wrestling. So 139 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:11.240 I think they went from wanting to do it to crap, 140 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.319 I can't do it, to oh damn it, I gotta 141 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.000 do this. I got to check this off my list, 142 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.160 and now they're trying to put him back in. Last second, 143 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:23.199 when The Rock again probably told him no in October November, 144 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:25.639 sorry I can't, And now he's like, huh, but I 145 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.480 kind of want to, and he can just put himself 146 00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:29.480 back in. He's got the power to do that. And 147 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.919 now everybody has to adjust their stories in creative that's 148 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:38.279 what we're seeing. As for my chamber predictions, after Cody 149 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.000 tells the Rock No, it's revealed somehow that Sena has 150 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.240 already sold his soul for a shot at the title. 151 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.360 I think he's already done it. That's how he got 152 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.200 a free pass into the chamber. It's why he's been 153 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.840 gone so long. It's he's living the corporate life. I 154 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:53.360 think he wins in a way that smells like it 155 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:55.759 was set up by the final Boss. I also think 156 00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:59.639 Roman Reigns returns and spears someone, but will it be Seth. 157 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.080 Maybe he has asked as part of the favor to 158 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.600 take out Seth, but in a twist, just when Seth 159 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:08.879 thinks it's coming, he instead spears Spunk Spears Spunk Spear's Punk. 160 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.440 Maybe he spears them both, but he's going to cost someone. 161 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:17.399 Totally agree with a lot of that tom Without giving 162 00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:22.399 away my predictions too much, Roman Reigns will definitely be 163 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:28.039 involved tomorrow night, no question about it. Final plee before WrestleMania. 164 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:30.759 It's all hands on deck. You don't have another chance 165 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.039 for another ple between now and April twentieth, which is 166 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.279 really just kind of crazy. It feels like it's forever away. 167 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.679 But we all know how time, how quickly time moves, 168 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.679 and it'll be, you know, turn around and next week's WrestleMania. 169 00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:42.720 That's just the way it's going to go. And but 170 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.679 totally agree Roman will have an impact. I'll give you 171 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:48.919 my thoughts on that in a few minutes here at 172 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.440 the second half of the show. But perhaps Sena is 173 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.720 revealed to be that guy. But the reasons why, I 174 00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:58.240 don't think Sena is actually going to be revealed to 175 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:00.960 be involved with the with the rock and I've heard 176 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.879 that theory two that the two Hollywood guys. I've heard that, 177 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:06.600 and there's some credibility to that. I'm not making fun 178 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.360 of it. I don't think it's a bad idea. I 179 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.080 don't think it's the most likely scenario. Because while Sina's 180 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:17.519 run is going to be over the next ten months, 181 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:23.240 nine months now we now understand the pacing of his 182 00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.080 his run here, he's only got thirty some dates that's 183 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.639 spread out over twelve months. That means he's not going 184 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.360 to be here a lot. He's going to be here 185 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.600 for a week or two to build to that pl. 186 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:34.759 And then he's gone. We get it. 187 00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:38.440 It's the Roman reign schedule. So I don't know if 188 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.320 they'd waste or invest all that time and a guy 189 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:43.600 that we know for sure is going to be done 190 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.399 in December no matter what, done gone, unless he's injured, right, 191 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.759 they wouldn't do that. I don't think where they could 192 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.080 utilize the Rock for this big story for a guy 193 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.360 that's actually going to be here over the coming years 194 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.720 and a younger guy, whoever that may be. 195 00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:00.720 I don't think it's gonna be that. 196 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.759 Also, John Cena turning heel for just a few dates 197 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.840 that he's got left on the calendar, I don't see it. 198 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.720 It'd be a shock value, fun thing, but that would 199 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:11.879 have been something you do back in like twenty twelve 200 00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:14.679 when Sena was still somewhat full time. 201 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:15.639 He was the guy. 202 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:18.519 You know, you could have really done something with that, 203 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.600 with the Rock and Hollywood and his influence, and you 204 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.519 could have turned John Cena heel, which he almost did 205 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:25.039 turn John Seen to heel. He was an inch away 206 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:26.960 from it when they had their Wrestlingia twenty eight match. 207 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.320 So I think there's something to be said for that, 208 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:31.360 but I don't think it's. 209 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.639 The most likely scenario. Thank you, Tom. 210 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:38.200 All Right, mister DJ, what do you got it's here. 211 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:42.240 It's here, the Elimination Chamber this Saturday, Live from Toronto. 212 00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.840 I gotta say this seems to be a very impressive 213 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.759 card with just only four matches, similar to the Rumble 214 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:51.279 that only had four matches, with the possibility of Cody's 215 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:55.759 selling his soul to the Final Boss Jade Cargill possibly 216 00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:59.200 appearing and attacking her perpetrator in the women's chamber, Orton 217 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.360 returning during the Kao Sammy match. But will there be 218 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.159 a seventh entrant in the men's or women's elimination Chamber? 219 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.519 I just hope there isn't another Saturday night main event 220 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.919 show before WrestleMania. Anyway, before I fall asleep, let's go, 221 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:14.000 you gottas have doing it before you. I feel like 222 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:16.240 you're laying in bed up with a laptop or something. 223 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:16.879 I feel bad. 224 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.559 But what I'll say about that before I get to 225 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:26.080 your predictions, I think there's some I mean, again giving 226 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:32.399 away too much. Orton Jade definitely seem likely here, and 227 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:36.720 I would concur wholeheartedly that there is not a Saturday 228 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.559 night main event show before Mania. I don't see anything 229 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:42.399 in the schedule for that, but I feel like it's 230 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:46.399 one of those pop up in between ples. We need 231 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.679 to hold over, We need to, you know, we need 232 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.000 to insert this for the storyline or whatever. I don't 233 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.960 think they'll do it, but if they do, I won't 234 00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:59.600 hate it. I just I think there's no need for it. 235 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.639 Some times the build between ples doesn't need to be. 236 00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:04.919 We don't need an event every three weeks. We've been 237 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.879 saying that for years. I don't think we do. We've 238 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:10.240 been accustomed to it, But do we really need it. 239 00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:14.720 I don't think so. Also, with the advent of streaming, 240 00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:18.159 no one's buying the ples anymore. I don't even know 241 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:23.279 it's possible. So the selling point of plees for the 242 00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:27.840 network isn't as big as pay per views were. When 243 00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:31.200 you wanted to see a big match or matches, you 244 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:34.360 had to actually purchase it separately. They're not gaining any 245 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.759 extra revenue, at least from the streaming portion, I don't 246 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:42.679 think when it comes to purchasing from the fans now 247 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.240 advertisers or sponsors rather gate the people actually go to 248 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.000 the events. Yeah, that revenue still exists, but the at 249 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:55.039 home fans that are going to be watching aren't going 250 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:59.720 to purchase the network or the streaming service on Peacock 251 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:02.519 simp for a specific pl If they do, it's WrestleMania, 252 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.919 not a Saturday Night made event. All right, So, DJ, 253 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:12.559 what's your predictions here? First, Tiffany Stratton and Tris Stratus 254 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:16.120 aka daughter and mother because they kind of look like yeah, 255 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:19.320 they do, probably the blonde hair, and Nia Jackson candicel Ray. 256 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.679 I predict that tiff and Trish would get the victory. 257 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:25.600 For Sammy and Kevin's unsanctioned match, You're saying that Ko 258 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.159 gets the victory. He's been on the losing streak with 259 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:30.799 these past losses to Cody. Can you help me out here? 260 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:32.600 What are the rules for an unsanctioned match? And will 261 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.120 there be any referee? Because I can't remember a last 262 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:38.399 unsanctioned match ww had I can at least this is 263 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:39.799 the one that pops into my head, And I'm sure 264 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:44.720 there were months many more after this Triple H HBK. 265 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.399 Wasn't that in SummerSlam two thousand and two when HBK 266 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.320 returned from a four year absence and it was revealed 267 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:55.559 that Triple H attacked Shawn Michaels in the parking lot, 268 00:14:55.600 --> 00:15:00.639 remember that, I think that was unsanctioned, So so again, 269 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.039 that's freaking thirteen years of twenty three. Wait, my god, 270 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:08.440 twenty three years ago. Wow, twenty three years ago. That 271 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:13.799 match was, and the idea of what an unsanctioned match 272 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:15.600 may have evolved over time, but that's the first one 273 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:17.440 that comes to mind. I would imagine there has to 274 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:21.799 be some referee there. But it's not about pinfalls. This 275 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:23.679 match is not about who wins. In fact, I don't 276 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:28.679 even think they'll be a winner. I don't even I 277 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:32.519 don't know if there will be because it's not about winning. 278 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.039 It's not about pinfalls or submissions here. If there's a 279 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.440 referee and it's unsanctioned, well, if it's unsanctioned, then a 280 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.879 referee shouldn't be out there. It's very it's very kind 281 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.159 of contradictory when it comes to you have an official 282 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:48.559 referee out there for an unofficial match, Well, how does 283 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:48.919 that work? 284 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:49.120 You know? 285 00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:50.960 So you got to throw your brain in the garbage 286 00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:53.960 or put it on ice for that. If there's a referee, 287 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:55.519 I would imagine there has to be a referee, and 288 00:15:55.559 --> 00:16:00.600 the reason is safety, because the referee does provide an 289 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.559 actual level of safety for the guys. So if they 290 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:08.519 are out there and they are you know, they actually 291 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:10.480 get hurt, A referee is there to tell them not 292 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:13.919 only you know, bring out medical or if there's their 293 00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:15.399 running out of time, they got to say, you know, 294 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.200 five minutes go home boys, you know that kind of 295 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.519 thing to tell them spots. I think from a safety 296 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:25.120 perspective and from just kind of a match structure perspective, 297 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:27.840 you have to have a referee there. What they could 298 00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:29.919 do is just say we have an official out here 299 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:31.399 to count the three. But it's not going to be 300 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:35.320 counted on the actual record books. It's unsanctioned by w WE, 301 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:38.039 you know, which again doesn't make sense given you have 302 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:39.639 it on a pl e you have as part of 303 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:42.080 the show. You have an official there. If it's unsanctioned, 304 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.559 you wouldn't be having it because there's too much liability there. Anyway, 305 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:47.480 I'm getting into the weeds, So I think there'll be 306 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:53.480 a ref three a women's elimination chamber match. One dark 307 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.720 horse pick to win live Morgan and my one potential 308 00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:59.240 pick to win the chamber is none other than Alexa Bliss. 309 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:01.080 She's the only one to my knowledge that is not 310 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:04.000 involved in any current feud, unlike the other five competitors 311 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:08.400 in this match. And fourth, and finally, your dark horse 312 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:10.839 pick to win is Logan Paul, and my one potential 313 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:13.599 pick to win the chamber is none other than mister 314 00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:16.319 you can't see John Cena, and I think there might 315 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:19.319 be some weird or controversial finish in which Sina wins 316 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:21.960 the Chamber, but the path WrestleMania forty one's main event, 317 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:24.799 most likely Night two, is still very challenging to foresee. 318 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:28.400 I agree, it's just it's a fog right now. It 319 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.839 would be interesting if the Cody decision with the Final 320 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:35.119 Boss happens immediately after the Men's Chamber. Does WWE book 321 00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:37.960 a WrestleMania triple threat of Punk Sena and Cody or 322 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.119 a one on one of Cody and Sena with the 323 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:43.680 winner being forced to become the Final Boss's corporate Champion. However, 324 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:46.319 if Cody rejects the Final Boss's offer, who do you 325 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:50.519 see possibly accepting the offer from the Final Boss? DJ 326 00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:53.240 Cuzmill signing off. Enjoy the Chamber. I'll try to appear 327 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.000 in the discord chat should be a fun one as always. 328 00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:58.519 Yes it is, Yes it is, and thank. 329 00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:01.519 You for that. A lot of questions here. Let's go 330 00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:01.839 through it. 331 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:09.559 So first again, the idea of Sena winning the Chamber 332 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:13.680 is seeming. It seems to be the odds on favorite, 333 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:16.920 and with good reason. Right, if you're gonna do something 334 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:20.480 with John Cena, why are we not doing it now? 335 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:23.160 Like we've been told, this is it. So let's make 336 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.000 it fun for Sena. Let's give let's give him a 337 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:28.720 hell of a match, a hell of a promo. If 338 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:32.960 we're gonna have a soft one year run with John Cena, 339 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:35.480 then why bother. He could have just had a one 340 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:38.200 off match at WrestleMania, say it's his retirement and go 341 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:40.680 off into the sunset. But if you're gonna tell a 342 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:44.160 story with John Cena, you've got nine months to do it. 343 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.079 And you know what, everything I just talked about with 344 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:50.279 John Cena not aligning with the Rock. I still don't 345 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:52.359 think it's the best choice. But if you're gonna do it, 346 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:55.359 it's still relatively early in his run. You could tell 347 00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:00.119 a fun story over the next nine months. So I 348 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:03.799 don't know if Sena is gonna sell out, But Sena 349 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:05.839 wanting to be a corporate champion in this point in 350 00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:08.960 his career doesn't make a lot of sense. I mean, 351 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.680 he's been hustle, loyalty and respect for the last twenty 352 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.880 five years, and all of a sudden he's gonna become 353 00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:19.920 you know, the corporate suit. It's kind of weird. I'd 354 00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:22.119 be interested to see it. I still don't think it's 355 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:29.559 the right choice, but I would concur this. And this 356 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:34.400 is extremely important. Where this segment with Cody and the 357 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:39.160 Rock is placed is essential to who could be turning 358 00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:42.599 or who couldn't be. Because if Seena is gonna turn, 359 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.279 say Sena is the one to turn and just crazily 360 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.359 align himself with the Rock and he's the one who's 361 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.640 injected into the match because the Rock is has ultimate power, 362 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:55.839 then it's gonna be after John Cena wins. Right, You're 363 00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.680 not gonna have John Cena do this prior to the chamber. 364 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:02.880 So the placement of this segment with Cody in the 365 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:07.799 Rock is crucial. It's a crucial clue as to who 366 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.039 could actually be the one to turn, because we all 367 00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:11.480 know Cody's not going to do it, at least. 368 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:11.960 Not right now. 369 00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:15.640 Again, well, if he's gonna turn, it's gonna be Mania 370 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:17.960 and that could be the ultimate place where he does. 371 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.759 And I'd love to see it. Bring it on. So 372 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:28.519 it's also interesting that no one, or if no one, 373 00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:30.920 calls out The Rock for him trying to create his 374 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.079 own corporate champion. That The Rock didn't fight that his 375 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.599 entire career, or at least the first part of his career. 376 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:39.640 Remember Vince making him his corporate champion, and then he 377 00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:42.559 turned on Vince, just like they tried to make Austin 378 00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:44.480 the corporate champion. We all know that tried to that 379 00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:47.319 worked out, But The Rock was the corporate champion for 380 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:50.519 a while. He was the corporate champion thro WrestleMania fifteen, 381 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:55.799 and he eventually turned into one of the biggest babyfaces 382 00:20:55.880 --> 00:21:01.000 w He's ever seen after turning on the corporation, and 383 00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:02.920 now he's trying to create his own corporate champion. So 384 00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:06.759 hopefully that's brought up over the next several months. The irony, 385 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:12.480 the hypocrisy, somebody needs to bring this up. It cannot 386 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:15.440 be pastime. It's it's low hanging fruit here for somebody 387 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.920 to cut out promo against him here. But who could 388 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:27.599 possibly outside of John Cena, who could possibly turn on 389 00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:32.680 on Cody Roads. Well, let's look at who's in the 390 00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:40.279 actual match, right, we have Punk Drew Rollins, Paul, Priest Sena, Okay, 391 00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:43.400 say Sena doesn't do it, Say Rollins, I'm sorry, Say 392 00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:48.400 Cody turns down the Rock, which is very likely. You 393 00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:52.640 have cmpunk see mpunk turning heel to beat the corporate 394 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:54.839 champion for the Rock. It would go against everything that 395 00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:58.200 the MPUNK stands for and it would make while it 396 00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:00.640 would anger the fans. It really under is just his 397 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.680 credibility just period. It doesn't make a lot of sense. 398 00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:08.720 We have logan Paul too early in his career. He 399 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.519 would sell out. He's already a heel. I think he's 400 00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:13.319 gonna be a world champion in the next one to 401 00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:17.039
