Speaker 1: This is WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to
Speaker 1: the WWE podcast show.
Speaker 2: The one that Everybody wants.
Speaker 3: Me Stode sixteen. So God says, what your ass is, my.
Speaker 2: Arm, you can acknowledge me.
Speaker 4: Welcome everybody to the mailbag slash Elimination Chamber of preview show.
Speaker 4: We've got a jam packed show here, with tomorrow night
Speaker 4: being apparently, according to Triple H, an industry changing night.
Speaker 5: What does that mean?
Speaker 4: Could just mean typical jargon, some marketing thrown in there
Speaker 4: to get people interested. I mean, Triple Ah, he has
Speaker 4: delivered every time he said that he's going to deliver,
Speaker 4: and using industry changing is pretty strong language. It's not
Speaker 4: just a historic night. They use that word over and
Speaker 4: over and over, which often doesn't mean anything but industry changing.
Speaker 4: I mean technically, no matter what happens, it's industry changing,
Speaker 4: because every event that happens changes the industry, even if
Speaker 4: at the smallest level. So he's not wrong. But in
Speaker 4: the context that we expect what industry changing is supposed
Speaker 4: to mean, is it going to deliver? We'll find out.
Speaker 4: I mean, yes, the Rock's going to be there, Cody
Speaker 4: Roads is going to be there, we know he's going
Speaker 4: to turn down the Rock, but what comes of it?
Speaker 4: I think that's the biggest question coming into the Chamber
Speaker 4: in terms of that story is not what does Cody say,
Speaker 4: but rather what's the follow up after he says no?
Speaker 4: Does the Rock have a backup to attack Cody? And
Speaker 4: if so, how does that leave and where does that
Speaker 4: leave the person who leaves the chamber the winner, whether
Speaker 4: it's Punk, Sena Rollins, where does that leave that winner?
Speaker 4: Because if this chamber wasn't there to determine who's going
Speaker 4: to face Cody, then you would imagine this segment is
Speaker 4: leading to Cody versus The Rock for the championship. Now,
Speaker 4: the Rock could still be involved here while he said
Speaker 4: this isn't necessarily going to end in a match.
Speaker 5: What if he's lying?
Speaker 4: He could simply be lying or rather diverting our attention.
Speaker 4: I've heard a lot of good theories over the last
Speaker 4: several days, everything from The Rock actually inserting himself in
Speaker 4: if he's saying, You're not going to be my champion,
Speaker 4: I'll be the effing champion, to Cody turning heel at
Speaker 4: WrestleMania eventually selling out. While initially he rejects and resists,
Speaker 4: He ends up taking the Rocks offer just a little
Speaker 4: bit later on when it matters to keep the belt
Speaker 4: at WrestleMania, and then blaming the fans for not wanting
Speaker 4: and lying to themselves they wouldn't have done the same
Speaker 4: thing for their families. This is a story set up
Speaker 4: for a heel turn, whether it's Cody or whether it's
Speaker 4: somebody else. I feel like I've seen this before. We've
Speaker 4: seen this movie before, We've seen this plot before. And
Speaker 4: while you know the good guy is going to say
Speaker 4: no initially, the more important question is does the temptation
Speaker 4: at some point overtake them. Do they eventually get so
Speaker 4: tempted to go to the dark side that they they
Speaker 4: justify to themselves that they need to, that they had
Speaker 4: no choice for their family's sake. We could be going there.
Speaker 4: And if this is all leading to a Cody heel turn,
Speaker 4: bring it on, baby. It's been three years. We've had
Speaker 4: three years with Cody one of them as champion, and
Speaker 4: some would say that's more than enough for a big
Speaker 4: run as a baby face. You can always come back
Speaker 4: to it. We know it works. We know it works,
Speaker 4: and what do we do? So the WWE Creative has
Speaker 4: a lot of options in front of them and a
Speaker 4: big step, although certainly not all the answers are going
Speaker 4: to be given to us tomorrow night, at least in
Speaker 4: terms of where they could be going. And if they're
Speaker 4: going that way, is this just a red herring for
Speaker 4: another swerve that's going to take place at WrestleMania. Remember,
Speaker 4: the payoff isn't isn't tomorrow night. The payoff is WrestleMania,
Speaker 4: at least in big part. Of course, there's follow up,
Speaker 4: there's backlash, there's you know, as the ples go on,
Speaker 4: there's more, and even maybe out to next year Summer Slam.
Speaker 4: But really the payoff is for all intents purposes, April
Speaker 4: twentieth and twenty first. So let's get to those emails, everybody,
Speaker 4: And if you want to join us, a good time
Speaker 4: to do it is right now before the ple. If
Speaker 4: you're listening after, you can still join us, of course,
Speaker 4: but right now is a great time because you can
Speaker 4: get yourself an ad free experience of this show, including
Speaker 4: the official review show Free Elimination Chamber coming to you
Speaker 4: tomorrow Tomorrow night or Sunday. Sunday is probably the more
Speaker 4: likely unless something incredibly crazy happens. It's just, honestly, it's
Speaker 4: just not feasible for me on those nights with things
Speaker 4: I have going on. It's really really difficult unless something
Speaker 4: was to just be I gotta talk now. But you
Speaker 4: can get yourself an AD free experience and set yourself
Speaker 4: up for a week of AD free experience listening and
Speaker 4: do that at patreon dot com slash WWE podcast. Including
Speaker 4: getting an AD free experience, you also get access to
Speaker 4: a discord server that allows you to talk to all
Speaker 4: of the wrestling fans during every single show.
Speaker 5: So let's get into it.
Speaker 4: Let's talk to you guys, get through these mail bag emails,
Speaker 4: and then we'll jump right into my predictions. I'm imagining
Speaker 4: a lot of you guys have your own, your own predictions,
Speaker 4: which I'm interested to hear.
Speaker 5: So let's do it. All right, Let's.
Speaker 2: Let's go to.
Speaker 4: I was gonna get to Alex the French guy, but
Speaker 4: he sent us a voicemail. We'll get to his voicemail
Speaker 4: and a little bit. Let's get to Tom and he says, so, Matt,
Speaker 4: tell me if this makes sense. Last year at the
Speaker 4: Raw Aftermania, Rock asked Cody if he could hold his
Speaker 4: belt and then told him after the Rock has to
Speaker 4: go away for a little while, but when I come back,
Speaker 4: I'm coming for that belt. I want that belt. He
Speaker 4: was away for a while. He came back last week
Speaker 4: on SmackDown and Cody. He told Cody, I don't care
Speaker 4: about the belt.
Speaker 5: I'm just confused.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I don't think there's much to be
Speaker 4: confused about it in that sense of just comparing what
Speaker 4: they wanted to do. And I've mentioned it several times,
Speaker 4: but I've come to the conclusion that it's simply they
Speaker 4: wanted to do that long term and they've pivoted to
Speaker 4: something else. I think what happened here, while you're totally correct,
Speaker 4: and again I've mentioned this several times from the raw
Speaker 4: after Mania last year, they had this intention. They truly
Speaker 4: meant this in they were gonna go this direction. And
Speaker 4: that's partially while the Rock came back at Bad Blood,
Speaker 4: which no one talks about or really don't have a
Speaker 4: reason for. He just stood there, remember, and then we
Speaker 4: didn't see him again for months, and everyone's like.
Speaker 5: Well, what the F was that?
Speaker 4: I think what happened is his schedule. I hate saying
Speaker 4: this because we've been saying this for like eight years,
Speaker 4: his schedule got all left up. He probably told WW crap, sorry, guys,
Speaker 4: count me out this year, especially given what happened at
Speaker 4: the Netflix Raw debut. The Rock was just Dwayne halfway
Speaker 4: playing the final Boss, being baby Face and making love
Speaker 4: with Cody Rose, and it was just sick, a horrible
Speaker 4: version of The Rock that we saw on the Netflix
Speaker 4: debut of Raw. Uh, And it seemed like he's probably out.
Speaker 4: And then The Rock post something on Instagram several weeks
Speaker 4: later saying, you know, I've got this one thing. I've
Speaker 4: got this thing. I've got this thing. I've got this thing.
Speaker 4: Presumably it's this thing he's doing now in wrestling. So
Speaker 4: I think they went from wanting to do it to crap,
Speaker 4: I can't do it, to oh damn it, I gotta
Speaker 4: do this. I got to check this off my list,
Speaker 4: and now they're trying to put him back in. Last second,
Speaker 4: when The Rock again probably told him no in October November,
Speaker 4: sorry I can't, And now he's like, huh, but I
Speaker 4: kind of want to, and he can just put himself
Speaker 4: back in. He's got the power to do that. And
Speaker 4: now everybody has to adjust their stories in creative that's
Speaker 4: what we're seeing. As for my chamber predictions, after Cody
Speaker 4: tells the Rock No, it's revealed somehow that Sena has
Speaker 4: already sold his soul for a shot at the title.
Speaker 4: I think he's already done it. That's how he got
Speaker 4: a free pass into the chamber. It's why he's been
Speaker 4: gone so long. It's he's living the corporate life. I
Speaker 4: think he wins in a way that smells like it
Speaker 4: was set up by the final Boss. I also think
Speaker 4: Roman Reigns returns and spears someone, but will it be Seth.
Speaker 4: Maybe he has asked as part of the favor to
Speaker 4: take out Seth, but in a twist, just when Seth
Speaker 4: thinks it's coming, he instead spears Spunk Spears Spunk Spear's Punk.
Speaker 4: Maybe he spears them both, but he's going to cost someone.
Speaker 4: Totally agree with a lot of that tom Without giving
Speaker 4: away my predictions too much, Roman Reigns will definitely be
Speaker 4: involved tomorrow night, no question about it. Final plee before WrestleMania.
Speaker 4: It's all hands on deck. You don't have another chance
Speaker 4: for another ple between now and April twentieth, which is
Speaker 4: really just kind of crazy. It feels like it's forever away.
Speaker 4: But we all know how time, how quickly time moves,
Speaker 4: and it'll be, you know, turn around and next week's WrestleMania.
Speaker 4: That's just the way it's going to go. And but
Speaker 4: totally agree Roman will have an impact. I'll give you
Speaker 4: my thoughts on that in a few minutes here at
Speaker 4: the second half of the show. But perhaps Sena is
Speaker 4: revealed to be that guy. But the reasons why, I
Speaker 4: don't think Sena is actually going to be revealed to
Speaker 4: be involved with the with the rock and I've heard
Speaker 4: that theory two that the two Hollywood guys. I've heard that,
Speaker 4: and there's some credibility to that. I'm not making fun
Speaker 4: of it. I don't think it's a bad idea. I
Speaker 4: don't think it's the most likely scenario. Because while Sina's
Speaker 4: run is going to be over the next ten months,
Speaker 4: nine months now we now understand the pacing of his
Speaker 4: his run here, he's only got thirty some dates that's
Speaker 4: spread out over twelve months. That means he's not going
Speaker 4: to be here a lot. He's going to be here
Speaker 4: for a week or two to build to that pl.
Speaker 5: And then he's gone. We get it.
Speaker 4: It's the Roman reign schedule. So I don't know if
Speaker 4: they'd waste or invest all that time and a guy
Speaker 4: that we know for sure is going to be done
Speaker 4: in December no matter what, done gone, unless he's injured, right,
Speaker 4: they wouldn't do that. I don't think where they could
Speaker 4: utilize the Rock for this big story for a guy
Speaker 4: that's actually going to be here over the coming years
Speaker 4: and a younger guy, whoever that may be.
Speaker 5: I don't think it's gonna be that.
Speaker 4: Also, John Cena turning heel for just a few dates
Speaker 4: that he's got left on the calendar, I don't see it.
Speaker 4: It'd be a shock value, fun thing, but that would
Speaker 4: have been something you do back in like twenty twelve
Speaker 4: when Sena was still somewhat full time.
Speaker 5: He was the guy.
Speaker 4: You know, you could have really done something with that,
Speaker 4: with the Rock and Hollywood and his influence, and you
Speaker 4: could have turned John Cena heel, which he almost did
Speaker 4: turn John Seen to heel. He was an inch away
Speaker 4: from it when they had their Wrestlingia twenty eight match.
Speaker 4: So I think there's something to be said for that,
Speaker 4: but I don't think it's.
Speaker 5: The most likely scenario. Thank you, Tom.
Speaker 4: All Right, mister DJ, what do you got it's here.
Speaker 4: It's here, the Elimination Chamber this Saturday, Live from Toronto.
Speaker 4: I gotta say this seems to be a very impressive
Speaker 4: card with just only four matches, similar to the Rumble
Speaker 4: that only had four matches, with the possibility of Cody's
Speaker 4: selling his soul to the Final Boss Jade Cargill possibly
Speaker 4: appearing and attacking her perpetrator in the women's chamber, Orton
Speaker 4: returning during the Kao Sammy match. But will there be
Speaker 4: a seventh entrant in the men's or women's elimination Chamber?
Speaker 4: I just hope there isn't another Saturday night main event
Speaker 4: show before WrestleMania. Anyway, before I fall asleep, let's go,
Speaker 4: you gottas have doing it before you. I feel like
Speaker 4: you're laying in bed up with a laptop or something.
Speaker 5: I feel bad.
Speaker 4: But what I'll say about that before I get to
Speaker 4: your predictions, I think there's some I mean, again giving
Speaker 4: away too much. Orton Jade definitely seem likely here, and
Speaker 4: I would concur wholeheartedly that there is not a Saturday
Speaker 4: night main event show before Mania. I don't see anything
Speaker 4: in the schedule for that, but I feel like it's
Speaker 4: one of those pop up in between ples. We need
Speaker 4: to hold over, We need to, you know, we need
Speaker 4: to insert this for the storyline or whatever. I don't
Speaker 4: think they'll do it, but if they do, I won't
Speaker 4: hate it. I just I think there's no need for it.
Speaker 4: Some times the build between ples doesn't need to be.
Speaker 4: We don't need an event every three weeks. We've been
Speaker 4: saying that for years. I don't think we do. We've
Speaker 4: been accustomed to it, But do we really need it.
Speaker 4: I don't think so. Also, with the advent of streaming,
Speaker 4: no one's buying the ples anymore. I don't even know
Speaker 4: it's possible. So the selling point of plees for the
Speaker 4: network isn't as big as pay per views were. When
Speaker 4: you wanted to see a big match or matches, you
Speaker 4: had to actually purchase it separately. They're not gaining any
Speaker 4: extra revenue, at least from the streaming portion, I don't
Speaker 4: think when it comes to purchasing from the fans now
Speaker 4: advertisers or sponsors rather gate the people actually go to
Speaker 4: the events. Yeah, that revenue still exists, but the at
Speaker 4: home fans that are going to be watching aren't going
Speaker 4: to purchase the network or the streaming service on Peacock
Speaker 4: simp for a specific pl If they do, it's WrestleMania,
Speaker 4: not a Saturday Night made event. All right, So, DJ,
Speaker 4: what's your predictions here? First, Tiffany Stratton and Tris Stratus
Speaker 4: aka daughter and mother because they kind of look like yeah,
Speaker 4: they do, probably the blonde hair, and Nia Jackson candicel Ray.
Speaker 4: I predict that tiff and Trish would get the victory.
Speaker 4: For Sammy and Kevin's unsanctioned match, You're saying that Ko
Speaker 4: gets the victory. He's been on the losing streak with
Speaker 4: these past losses to Cody. Can you help me out here?
Speaker 4: What are the rules for an unsanctioned match? And will
Speaker 4: there be any referee? Because I can't remember a last
Speaker 4: unsanctioned match ww had I can at least this is
Speaker 4: the one that pops into my head, And I'm sure
Speaker 4: there were months many more after this Triple H HBK.
Speaker 4: Wasn't that in SummerSlam two thousand and two when HBK
Speaker 4: returned from a four year absence and it was revealed
Speaker 4: that Triple H attacked Shawn Michaels in the parking lot,
Speaker 4: remember that, I think that was unsanctioned, So so again,
Speaker 4: that's freaking thirteen years of twenty three. Wait, my god,
Speaker 4: twenty three years ago. Wow, twenty three years ago. That
Speaker 4: match was, and the idea of what an unsanctioned match
Speaker 4: may have evolved over time, but that's the first one
Speaker 4: that comes to mind. I would imagine there has to
Speaker 4: be some referee there. But it's not about pinfalls. This
Speaker 4: match is not about who wins. In fact, I don't
Speaker 4: even think they'll be a winner. I don't even I
Speaker 4: don't know if there will be because it's not about winning.
Speaker 4: It's not about pinfalls or submissions here. If there's a
Speaker 4: referee and it's unsanctioned, well, if it's unsanctioned, then a
Speaker 4: referee shouldn't be out there. It's very it's very kind
Speaker 4: of contradictory when it comes to you have an official
Speaker 4: referee out there for an unofficial match, Well, how does
Speaker 4: that work?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 4: So you got to throw your brain in the garbage
Speaker 4: or put it on ice for that. If there's a referee,
Speaker 4: I would imagine there has to be a referee, and
Speaker 4: the reason is safety, because the referee does provide an
Speaker 4: actual level of safety for the guys. So if they
Speaker 4: are out there and they are you know, they actually
Speaker 4: get hurt, A referee is there to tell them not
Speaker 4: only you know, bring out medical or if there's their
Speaker 4: running out of time, they got to say, you know,
Speaker 4: five minutes go home boys, you know that kind of
Speaker 4: thing to tell them spots. I think from a safety
Speaker 4: perspective and from just kind of a match structure perspective,
Speaker 4: you have to have a referee there. What they could
Speaker 4: do is just say we have an official out here
Speaker 4: to count the three. But it's not going to be
Speaker 4: counted on the actual record books. It's unsanctioned by w WE,
Speaker 4: you know, which again doesn't make sense given you have
Speaker 4: it on a pl e you have as part of
Speaker 4: the show. You have an official there. If it's unsanctioned,
Speaker 4: you wouldn't be having it because there's too much liability there. Anyway,
Speaker 4: I'm getting into the weeds, So I think there'll be
Speaker 4: a ref three a women's elimination chamber match. One dark
Speaker 4: horse pick to win live Morgan and my one potential
Speaker 4: pick to win the chamber is none other than Alexa Bliss.
Speaker 4: She's the only one to my knowledge that is not
Speaker 4: involved in any current feud, unlike the other five competitors
Speaker 4: in this match. And fourth, and finally, your dark horse
Speaker 4: pick to win is Logan Paul, and my one potential
Speaker 4: pick to win the chamber is none other than mister
Speaker 4: you can't see John Cena, and I think there might
Speaker 4: be some weird or controversial finish in which Sina wins
Speaker 4: the Chamber, but the path WrestleMania forty one's main event,
Speaker 4: most likely Night two, is still very challenging to foresee.
Speaker 4: I agree, it's just it's a fog right now. It
Speaker 4: would be interesting if the Cody decision with the Final
Speaker 4: Boss happens immediately after the Men's Chamber. Does WWE book
Speaker 4: a WrestleMania triple threat of Punk Sena and Cody or
Speaker 4: a one on one of Cody and Sena with the
Speaker 4: winner being forced to become the Final Boss's corporate Champion. However,
Speaker 4: if Cody rejects the Final Boss's offer, who do you
Speaker 4: see possibly accepting the offer from the Final Boss? DJ
Speaker 4: Cuzmill signing off. Enjoy the Chamber. I'll try to appear
Speaker 4: in the discord chat should be a fun one as always.
Speaker 4: Yes it is, Yes it is, and thank.
Speaker 5: You for that. A lot of questions here. Let's go
Speaker 5: through it.
Speaker 4: So first again, the idea of Sena winning the Chamber
Speaker 4: is seeming. It seems to be the odds on favorite,
Speaker 4: and with good reason. Right, if you're gonna do something
Speaker 4: with John Cena, why are we not doing it now?
Speaker 4: Like we've been told, this is it. So let's make
Speaker 4: it fun for Sena. Let's give let's give him a
Speaker 4: hell of a match, a hell of a promo. If
Speaker 4: we're gonna have a soft one year run with John Cena,
Speaker 4: then why bother. He could have just had a one
Speaker 4: off match at WrestleMania, say it's his retirement and go
Speaker 4: off into the sunset. But if you're gonna tell a
Speaker 4: story with John Cena, you've got nine months to do it.
Speaker 4: And you know what, everything I just talked about with
Speaker 4: John Cena not aligning with the Rock. I still don't
Speaker 4: think it's the best choice. But if you're gonna do it,
Speaker 4: it's still relatively early in his run. You could tell
Speaker 4: a fun story over the next nine months. So I
Speaker 4: don't know if Sena is gonna sell out, But Sena
Speaker 4: wanting to be a corporate champion in this point in
Speaker 4: his career doesn't make a lot of sense. I mean,
Speaker 4: he's been hustle, loyalty and respect for the last twenty
Speaker 4: five years, and all of a sudden he's gonna become
Speaker 4: you know, the corporate suit. It's kind of weird. I'd
Speaker 4: be interested to see it. I still don't think it's
Speaker 4: the right choice, but I would concur this. And this
Speaker 4: is extremely important. Where this segment with Cody and the
Speaker 4: Rock is placed is essential to who could be turning
Speaker 4: or who couldn't be. Because if Seena is gonna turn,
Speaker 4: say Sena is the one to turn and just crazily
Speaker 4: align himself with the Rock and he's the one who's
Speaker 4: injected into the match because the Rock is has ultimate power,
Speaker 4: then it's gonna be after John Cena wins. Right, You're
Speaker 4: not gonna have John Cena do this prior to the chamber.
Speaker 4: So the placement of this segment with Cody in the
Speaker 4: Rock is crucial. It's a crucial clue as to who
Speaker 4: could actually be the one to turn, because we all
Speaker 4: know Cody's not going to do it, at least.
Speaker 5: Not right now.
Speaker 4: Again, well, if he's gonna turn, it's gonna be Mania
Speaker 4: and that could be the ultimate place where he does.
Speaker 4: And I'd love to see it. Bring it on. So
Speaker 4: it's also interesting that no one, or if no one,
Speaker 4: calls out The Rock for him trying to create his
Speaker 4: own corporate champion. That The Rock didn't fight that his
Speaker 4: entire career, or at least the first part of his career.
Speaker 4: Remember Vince making him his corporate champion, and then he
Speaker 4: turned on Vince, just like they tried to make Austin
Speaker 4: the corporate champion. We all know that tried to that
Speaker 4: worked out, But The Rock was the corporate champion for
Speaker 4: a while. He was the corporate champion thro WrestleMania fifteen,
Speaker 4: and he eventually turned into one of the biggest babyfaces
Speaker 4: w He's ever seen after turning on the corporation, and
Speaker 4: now he's trying to create his own corporate champion. So
Speaker 4: hopefully that's brought up over the next several months. The irony,
Speaker 4: the hypocrisy, somebody needs to bring this up. It cannot
Speaker 4: be pastime. It's it's low hanging fruit here for somebody
Speaker 4: to cut out promo against him here. But who could
Speaker 4: possibly outside of John Cena, who could possibly turn on
Speaker 4: on Cody Roads. Well, let's look at who's in the
Speaker 4: actual match, right, we have Punk Drew Rollins, Paul, Priest Sena, Okay,
Speaker 4: say Sena doesn't do it, Say Rollins, I'm sorry, Say
Speaker 4: Cody turns down the Rock, which is very likely. You
Speaker 4: have cmpunk see mpunk turning heel to beat the corporate
Speaker 4: champion for the Rock. It would go against everything that
Speaker 4: the MPUNK stands for and it would make while it
Speaker 4: would anger the fans. It really under is just his
Speaker 4: credibility just period. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
Speaker 4: We have logan Paul too early in his career. He
Speaker 4: would sell out. He's already a heel. I think he's
Speaker 4: gonna be a world champion in the next one to
Speaker 4: two years, as long as nothing catastrophic happens. Doesn't make
Speaker 4: sense yet, Priest. Sorry, Pal, No, just just know I
Speaker 4: enjoyed him as world champion. No way, it would just
Speaker 4: be not a chance. So that leaves two guys. Rollins,
Speaker 4: I would say, is locked in with potentially Roman reigns.
Speaker 4: That leaves one Drew McIntyre. Drew McIntyre is a guy
Speaker 4: that if you recall, there's footage going around on X
Speaker 4: that The Rock is praising and this was from several
Speaker 4: years ago, but he was saying that Drew McIntyre is
Speaker 4: gonna be the next big guy.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 4: It's not like at the time they foresaw anything, but
Speaker 4: it's interesting that that was going around. If you saw it,
Speaker 4: I think Drew would be perfect, perfect aligning himself with
Speaker 4: the Rock. He doesn't have any actual beef with the
Speaker 4: Rock that I know of, at least in character in storyline.
Speaker 4: He needs a solid direction. Drew needs a direction right now.
Speaker 4: He's still talking a good game, he's losing a little momentum.
Speaker 4: He doesn't seem to win the big matches. He needs
Speaker 4: that boost and this would do it. How about Drew
Speaker 4: McIntyre being the guy to sell out, bring it on.
Speaker 4: And he even targeted Cody Rhoads. He targeted Cody Rhodes
Speaker 4: when he said he came back and that's the reason
Speaker 4: he came back was for the championship and when he
Speaker 4: came to SmackDown anyway, So how about that?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 4: You're making me think? Now, all right, my goodness, So
Speaker 4: let's continue. We got some emails from everybody in the
Speaker 4: regular email section, but let's go to Let's go to
Speaker 4: Jeff A. Patrin, another patron of the show. He says, hello,
Speaker 4: fans can't believe it's already chamber. Crazy how time flies.
Speaker 4: It's crazy to think WrestleMania is less than two months away.
Speaker 4: I was looking at the dates again, and I wonder
Speaker 4: if WWE knew they were booking Night two on Easter
Speaker 4: Sunday as well as four twenty ha ha. I don't know, babe,
Speaker 4: I'm sure they did. Let's see how that goes. Gonna
Speaker 4: be fun, a fun way to WrestleMania. This year's Chamber
Speaker 4: isn't as predictable as years past. All the great stars
Speaker 4: that could win, but for my predictions, Tiffany and Trish
Speaker 4: are winning. Cody slaps the Rock bathroom break segment. I
Speaker 4: wouldn't sleep on that segment, Jeff, as we just talked about,
Speaker 4: it's it's so clear that Cody is not at this
Speaker 4: time anyway, be very very very very clear on that
Speaker 4: as well as Cody's not turning yet yet, I'll be shocked.
Speaker 4: If he does, then holy crap. But I very much
Speaker 4: doubt it for this for now anyway. So I don't
Speaker 4: think that's a bathroom break segment. But Kao and Sammy,
Speaker 4: I'm excited for them to see how far they let
Speaker 4: them go. I think Randy returns and save Sammy Women's Chamber.
Speaker 4: As much as I want to see Bliss win, I
Speaker 4: think it's gonna be Rock. San Perez, Her and Bliss
Speaker 4: are the only ones that aren't in another current story.
Speaker 4: As for the men, I think it's going to be
Speaker 4: Punk or Sina. Hard to choose, but I'm gonna go
Speaker 4: with Sena. Have a great weekend seeing in the discord.
Speaker 4: Let's make it as fun as the rumble chat was.
Speaker 4: All right, Jeff, Well, I'm glad you're enjoying it, and
Speaker 4: I would say that you have some some interesting, interesting
Speaker 4: predictions there. I'll get to my predictions very quick. I
Speaker 4: want to get to them because that way I can
Speaker 4: actually respond to these. All right, Maybe I should next
Speaker 4: time just do it predictions upfront and then the mailbag boy.
Speaker 4: That'd be a smart idea.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 4: All right, so thank you, Jeff. Let's talk to Let's
Speaker 4: talk to Milan. Milan says, I know everybody's saying Cody
Speaker 4: can't turn, heel, he's too good, But what if he does?
Speaker 4: How awesome of a turn would that be? Rock did
Speaker 4: say this week that disruptive, disruptive changes are coming, and
Speaker 4: what bigger disruptive change than a heal Cody. I could
Speaker 4: just see him coming out on Saturday with his new
Speaker 4: black hair. It also sets up a potential Cody Punk
Speaker 4: match for the title with Punk as the super baby
Speaker 4: face and all this. It could also lead to Roman
Speaker 4: getting involved long term. We could see or get a
Speaker 4: face Roman versus Heel Cody at Summer Slam and something
Speaker 4: that would be pretty cool and a huge change over
Speaker 4: the last few years. And then eventually that leads to
Speaker 4: Roman and Rock. Yes, yes it does, but hey, until
Speaker 4: I see Roman in Rock, which I guess is still
Speaker 4: potentially on the table, although nobody's really floating this as
Speaker 4: an idea of somehow Roman and Rock having an interaction
Speaker 4: at the Chamber, which unfortunately seems unlikely. I'll believe it
Speaker 4: when I see it. But Cody turning heel people are
Speaker 4: I think, beyond the fact that it would be shocked
Speaker 4: to some people. We've seen Cody for three years as
Speaker 4: a babyface. He's been very successful, much to my dismay.
Speaker 5: But that opens the.
Speaker 4: Door for Cody to work with a lot of other
Speaker 4: people and to be even more of a conversation piece.
Speaker 4: Right He's been such about the people, mister buttoned up,
Speaker 4: mister manufactured mister, what you know, a million dollar smile
Speaker 4: with his perfectly white teeth, and he's already dressed like
Speaker 4: a heel. All he has to do is just change
Speaker 4: his attitude and maybe his music could. We'd be interesting
Speaker 4: what they do with his music that's so beloved. But
Speaker 4: that opens it up to work with Randy Orton. There's
Speaker 4: a program that we've all been waiting for, right, that's fun.
Speaker 4: A baby faced Roman reigns, like you said, versus a
Speaker 4: heel Cody. That's fun, but it does shut down Rock
Speaker 4: versus Cody, because you're not gonna have heel heel so
Speaker 4: Rock versus Cody with both as heels. If Cody turns,
Speaker 4: shuts that down, unless the Rock just doesn't care about
Speaker 4: matches anymore, in which case than who cares? Right, If
Speaker 4: the Rock is truly done in the ring for match
Speaker 4: from a match perspective, then yeah, you're done with the
Speaker 4: worry about turning both of them or turning Cody heel so.
Speaker 4: All right, Blan, thank you. Let's go to Andrew from
Speaker 4: New Zealand, and he says, I must say it's awesome
Speaker 4: to actually watch Ron and SmackDown on Netflix and get
Speaker 4: more of a grass on what everybody's talking about. I've
Speaker 4: had a couple of thoughts leading up to Chamber, and first,
Speaker 4: what if during the women's tag team title match? Before
Speaker 4: the Chamber, Bianca and Naomi are kicking ass. I'll just
Speaker 4: say ask because I felt like saying it. And at
Speaker 4: one stage Live and ray Kel are both on the
Speaker 4: outside with Bianca and Naomi in the ring, but they
Speaker 4: cut to the big screen where you can see a
Speaker 4: video of Naomi attacking Jade. Bianca goes nuts and walks out,
Speaker 4: leaving Naomi, who gets pinned and loses the title. Naomi
Speaker 4: turns heel, making Chamber more interesting with Bianca winning it,
Speaker 4: so that is very possible. I'm really struggling to care
Speaker 4: about the Jade story, I really am. I wasn't very
Speaker 4: interested when it began, although who done it every now
Speaker 4: and then? Is fun because Jade's character is insanely one dimensional.
Speaker 4: Superficial is a perfect way to put her character, Superficial
Speaker 4: to the max. Everything's about her look, everything, absolutely everything
Speaker 4: thus far has been about her look. She's had some
Speaker 4: okay matches, but pretty much formulaic, very limited in ring time.
Speaker 4: They're clearly protecting her weaknesses, which is what you do.
Speaker 4: But it's clear they're protecting her weaknesses, do you know
Speaker 4: what I mean? Which exposes her weaknesses even though you
Speaker 4: don't see them specifically, you see what she's not doing
Speaker 4: and can kind of deduce from that what her weaknesses are,
Speaker 4: which is like length in the Ring Ring psychology calling matches.
Speaker 4: Maybe she's improved vastly or we haven't seen the best
Speaker 4: of her yet, but I haven't been super impressed. She
Speaker 4: hasn't been embarrassing, it's just been very limited. Therefore, she's
Speaker 4: been extremely superficial. So I don't really care that much
Speaker 4: about this story. I don't want Bianca versus Jade until
Speaker 4: Jade's ready. So if it's Naomi as a warm up, cool, cool?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 4: Then somehow Roman casts Seth in the chamber and gets
Speaker 4: eliminated by Punk, and then Seth instead of exists, exiting
Speaker 4: stomps Punk, who is then eliminated. This creates Seth versus Roman,
Speaker 4: and Punk cashes his favor for a triple threat. Meanwhile,
Speaker 4: Sena wins the chamber. Enjoy chamber everyone, Thank you, Andrew,
Speaker 4: thank you for your predictions.
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 4: One more email Dan from England, longtime email listener. First
Speaker 4: time email, I love the pod, keep up the good work. Well,
Speaker 4: thank you so much, Dan, hear me out floating an idea.
Speaker 5: All right, I.
Speaker 4: See it floating in the water. Let's take a look
Speaker 4: at it. The Rock has propositioned Cody. It's obvious that
Speaker 4: Cody will say no. So what if the Rock then
Speaker 4: says if you won't accept, then we will have someone
Speaker 4: who will in walks corporate Sena with his I deserve this,
Speaker 4: It's best for business. This is Senas he'll turn the
Speaker 4: Rock helps you to win the chamber and then inner
Speaker 4: fears in WrestleMania, setting up the Rock and Cody at SummerSlam,
Speaker 4: and Sena has one last title run before he retires. Dan,
Speaker 4: you are a smart man, because I had forgotten that
Speaker 4: Sena said that in his post Rumble press conference that
Speaker 4: I even did say too at the time that if
Speaker 4: this was a seen a heel turned, this is the
Speaker 4: seedlings for it. He didn't take any questions, he just said,
Speaker 4: I deserve it. This is best for business. That's exactly
Speaker 4: what he said. Babyfaces, don't say that, you know you
Speaker 4: don't just get in to be honest. No, no, John,
Speaker 4: you haven't actually excuse me if that wasn't meant to
Speaker 4: be a heel turn. That was actually John Cena just
Speaker 4: speaking freely. The answer is no, you don't, John, And
Speaker 4: you may be saying, what are you talking about? Not you, damn,
Speaker 4: but the fans listening, what are you talkingalk about? John
Speaker 4: Sten's the best of all time. He could get a
Speaker 4: world tottle match anytimes he wants. No, No, you don't.
Speaker 4: That's not how this works. Tell me another simulated sport
Speaker 4: or actual professional competitive sport in which you have a
Speaker 4: legendary figure, right, legendary come back after ten years of
Speaker 4: not really competing in the ring full time anyway, and
Speaker 4: they're just saying, you know what, I deserve to be
Speaker 4: in the super Bowl. I deserve that. So I'm just
Speaker 4: going to put myself in. Yeah, that's not how it works.
Speaker 4: That's not how life works. So again, if it's part
Speaker 4: of a heel turn, then yeah, that makes perfect sense
Speaker 4: to say that. But if he actually meant that is
Speaker 4: the reason why he's in the chamber, then no, you don't, John, No,
Speaker 4: in real life, you just can't insert yourself. You're not
Speaker 4: Bill Goldberg. There's another perfect example. I know he's not
Speaker 4: nearly doesn't mean nearly what John does to WWE, But
Speaker 4: it's the same premise you have, remember Goldberg coming in
Speaker 4: just inserting himself into world title matches. So no, I
Speaker 4: think the real reason is if if it's not part
Speaker 4: of a John Cena Hill turn, for him to say
Speaker 4: that is I'm not gonna be here for the build
Speaker 4: so I'm just gonna go from PL to pl E
Speaker 4: and that's that.
Speaker 5: You just have to deal with it.
Speaker 4: I'm in there because I'm a legend and that's it.
Speaker 4: So anyway, good thinking though. I again, while I did
Speaker 4: shoot down John Cena aligning with the Rock, and I
Speaker 4: stand by it that it's not the best use of
Speaker 4: really anyone's time. It's not a bad use. I personally
Speaker 4: just don't get don't think it's the best. But we've
Speaker 4: got a lot of answers coming tomorrow, just not all
Speaker 4: the answers very interesting. I think that's the most sought
Speaker 4: after segment, even more than who wins the Men's Chamber
Speaker 4: is what happens after Cody shoots down the Rock. That
Speaker 4: is crazily the most interesting part of the show that
Speaker 4: or at least the most I guess sought after part
Speaker 4: of the show in my mind, which makes me think
Speaker 4: it's gonna be the final segment of the show. And
Speaker 4: if it's the final segment of the show, look out.
Speaker 4: If it's thrown in the middle of the show, it's
Speaker 4: probably it'll be more boring than if it's at the end,
Speaker 4: because you're not gonna have somebody from the chamber turn
Speaker 4: heel before the chamber in the men's side. So if
Speaker 4: Cody in the Rock happens in the middle of the show,
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a little less interesting, where maybe it
Speaker 4: is Cody just slapping the rock and then Cody gets
Speaker 4: beat down by the rock or something like that. Right,
Speaker 4: But if it's to the end of the show, you
Speaker 4: could have the chamber winner or somebody who lost the
Speaker 4: chamber come out and is revealed as the okay, you know,
Speaker 4: as the as plan B for the rock. Absolutely, So
Speaker 4: if it's at the end after the men's chamber.
Speaker 5: Look out. All right.
Speaker 4: Cool, Well, let's get to some voicemails and then my predictions.
Speaker 6: This is DJ colesmel Back added again on your mailbag
Speaker 6: show records.
Speaker 2: You live on a Wednesday board and you know what
Speaker 2: time it is. It's time to see his name man, hepeers.
Speaker 2: I believe in Joe Henndre. I believe in Joe Hendry.
Speaker 2: That's right, folks, Joe Hendry is his name.
Speaker 6: As I take it to my thirty third episode of
Speaker 6: the Joe hundred Board and like always.
Speaker 2: Coming to your life from went on this closed location.
Speaker 6: I must mention before we start the show to answer
Speaker 6: Matt's question from last week's episode in the mail bag,
Speaker 6: if the nemet brothers are actual real brothers and I'm
Speaker 6: talking about Ryan Nemett and nickname it aka Dolph Ziggler,
Speaker 6: and the truth is they are real brothers in real life.
Speaker 2: This is not a gimmick, folks. They are brothers.
Speaker 6: And speaking of Ryan Nemett, the same Ryan Nemett, we're
Speaker 6: reported to have foul a lawsuit against AW cmpunk aka
Speaker 6: Phil Brooks and Tony Kahan. It seems like there's a
Speaker 6: couple of things that have been happening for the past
Speaker 6: couple of months and a year or two since cmpunk
Speaker 6: had left AW. But prior to that, it seems like
Speaker 6: Ryan Nemant had some issues where he felt threatened by
Speaker 6: cmpunk and what was going on backstage, especially at that
Speaker 6: infamous show that AW had in the UK a couple
Speaker 6: of years ago.
Speaker 2: Before cm punk left to come to WWE.
Speaker 6: So there's a lot of things that's going on in
Speaker 6: this lawsuit that Ryan Nemitt, the brother of Nick Neamett,
Speaker 6: has issued against Cmpunk aka Phil Brooks, Tony Kahan, and aw.
Speaker 6: Now let's get to the thirty third episode of the
Speaker 6: Joe hundred part. This past Thursday, we had a live episode.
Speaker 6: That's right, we had a live episode of TNA Prestleinggue
Speaker 6: as they were in full sale University Winter Park, Florida,
Speaker 6: as Joe Hendry had another concert, another championship concert, and
Speaker 6: this was very unique as this song that Joe Hendre
Speaker 6: you was singing had some references to Roman Rains, Seamus
Speaker 6: the Miz and the one the only, the guy that
Speaker 6: he's chasing to have a match this year.
Speaker 2: No, No, that than John Cena.
Speaker 6: And the name of the song is called I'll Defend
Speaker 6: My Title Every week now it goes something like this.
Speaker 6: I like these references that Joe Hendry says, and one
Speaker 6: of the parts of the song that I like sounds
Speaker 6: something like this, because it's hard to be humble when
Speaker 6: you're in the Royal Rumbull and you would have won
Speaker 6: if it.
Speaker 2: Wasn't for Roman rains.
Speaker 6: And if you don't believe me, cross the line and
Speaker 6: you can't see me. Of course, that was a line
Speaker 6: specifically for John Cena quill John Ceda ever.
Speaker 2: Make an appearance in A T and a Ring. Let's
Speaker 2: see what happens.
Speaker 6: But then, as Joe Hendry was continuing his song, he
Speaker 6: gets interrupted by the debut, the debut of the Colones
Speaker 6: of Primo at Epico. If you remember they were in WWE,
Speaker 6: but now they are going by the names of Orlando
Speaker 6: Coloone and Eddie Colone. These guys are cousins and it's
Speaker 6: kind of funny. As they were coming down to the
Speaker 6: rink to interrupt Joe Hendry, the crowd was chanting, where's Carlito,
Speaker 6: Where's carl Leito? As Carlito Cool is cousins with Primo
Speaker 6: and Eddie Cologne. So this is very interesting that they're
Speaker 6: having this little thing. I thought Carlito Cool was gonna show.
Speaker 6: But anyway, let's get to the very interesting part. As
Speaker 6: it looked like Joe Hendry was about to get taken
Speaker 6: down by both of the Cologne brothers, all of a sudden,
Speaker 6: the lights go off and we get the sound of
Speaker 6: a guitar shrub and it is none other then Elias
Speaker 6: aka Elijah. He made an appearance as he wants to
Speaker 6: get involved. But wait a minute, does Elijah believe in
Speaker 6: Joe Hendry. So Elijah comes to the ring and everybody's like,
Speaker 6: oh my goodness. You know, they're saying, holy bleep, holy bleep,
Speaker 6: as none of them that Elijah comes to the ring,
Speaker 6: he seems like he wants to tag team with Joe
Speaker 6: Hendry in this.
Speaker 2: Matchup against the Colone Brothers.
Speaker 6: And then all of a sudden, here it comes sad
Speaker 6: Tina Morella, the director of Authority to authorize this match
Speaker 6: for the main event. So we're having this main event
Speaker 6: matchup folks of Joe Hendry and Elijah versus the Colone Brothers.
Speaker 6: So now we fast forward to the main event, a
Speaker 6: main event that went ten minutes and four seconds as
Speaker 6: Joe Hendri and Elijah get the victory via what Elijah
Speaker 6: did was the pile driver or none of the Dead
Speaker 6: or Orlando after what Orlando closed line Joe Hendry outside
Speaker 6: the rig, Elijah did the pile driver on Orlando and
Speaker 6: one two three, Joe Hendry and Elijah get the victory.
Speaker 6: As this could be a possibility that these guys could
Speaker 6: be tagged t but regularly in TNA. But does this
Speaker 6: seem like Joe Hendry and Elijah. Will they continue to
Speaker 6: be on the same page. Will Elijah eventually pursue Joe
Speaker 6: Hendre for his t TODAY World Championship. There's a possibility, folks,
Speaker 6: But once we have a live episode of TINA Parrestling,
Speaker 6: anything could happen.
Speaker 2: Anybody cup here.
Speaker 6: We had the Cologne Brothers, we had Elijah aka Elias.
Speaker 6: There's a possibility that maybe John Cenam show up. There's
Speaker 6: a lot of things that's happening, especially with the whole
Speaker 6: NXT and TNA collaboration.
Speaker 2: But anyway, as always, you.
Speaker 6: Have to remember to believe, say his name, always remember
Speaker 6: the words that Joe Hendry says time any place, at any.
Speaker 7: Show, and most of Portly, most so Portly as your
Speaker 7: DNA World champion, most of Portly do this side.
Speaker 6: Once again, this is your guy, DJ Coulsbo, have a
Speaker 6: blessed week, be kai to one of those stays in
Speaker 6: my friends.
Speaker 4: Believe and peace well, DJ, thank you for keeping his
Speaker 4: updated as always. Seriously, first of all, this is the
Speaker 4: seampunk lawsuit to know about that the Colognes Orlando I
Speaker 4: forget the other name obviously not premone Appico anymore. But
Speaker 4: in DNA that's called awesome. I'm glad they're getting work.
Speaker 4: And Elijah, I e Elias. I saw something about that
Speaker 4: as well, you know, is he transitions from w W
Speaker 4: T T an A. That's you know, it's great to
Speaker 4: see when guys get of another place to work. I
Speaker 4: know that WWE fans sometimes get a bad rap for
Speaker 4: it's WWE or nothing, but and there are some fans
Speaker 4: like that unfortunately, but looking at it from just a
Speaker 4: human perspective, man, if there's more places to work to
Speaker 4: hone your craft and earn a living, that's great, you know.
Speaker 4: And they may not pay what WW does, but at
Speaker 4: least they can get some revenue coming in. I mean,
Speaker 4: these guys don't have retirement, they don't have a pension.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: Whatever they make in the short career they have is
Speaker 4: whatever they have to save and live on, you know.
Speaker 5: So it's great to see.
Speaker 4: I'm glad that all those guys are back getting work,
Speaker 4: and the relationship with w may eventually at some point
Speaker 4: lead to their return in WWE. But the only thing
Speaker 4: I will say about Elias, I have nothing against the guy.
Speaker 4: I didn't know that he was so religious, I mean,
Speaker 4: so into Christianity.
Speaker 5: I had no idea.
Speaker 4: And this show is not about religion, obviously. I'm only
Speaker 4: talking about it because he's been very open about it
Speaker 4: on TikTok and other platforms where he's you know, he's
Speaker 4: reading the Bible and he's talking, you know, about scripture
Speaker 4: and all this. It's just like, wow, I had no idea.
Speaker 4: So either my head was in the sand or he
Speaker 4: has just only over the last you know, number of
Speaker 4: years since he left w B, been more vocal about
Speaker 4: it and more open about it. But uh, I was
Speaker 4: just so anyway, just a factoid if you're interested in
Speaker 4: such things. But cool, Thank you Elia, Elias DJ. I
Speaker 4: just haven't said Elias in a while. I guess my
Speaker 4: my brain wants to say it a couple more times.
Speaker 4: But DJ, thank you.
Speaker 5: And I hope you enjoy.
Speaker 4: There were the Limitus chamber as well, and you're in
Speaker 4: the discord server because you make it a fun time.
Speaker 4: All right, Let's get to Alex the French guy.
Speaker 5: I think he's up next.
Speaker 8: I asks the French guy, here, your current European champion.
Speaker 8: I've been seeing this SmackDown come back off the of course,
Speaker 8: it's always good to see him to see. However, what
Speaker 8: is this. I'm just asking for one match, Roman Reigns
Speaker 8: versus The Rock, who is the head of the table.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 8: I don't want any Cody cry babies to come down
Speaker 8: to helevate Cody. He has it, he has the championship.
Speaker 5: He do whatever he wants.
Speaker 8: But I don't want to have any other storylines outside
Speaker 8: of this one time goes by. The Rock has millions
Speaker 8: of projects. He's the owner of XFL, he's the owner
Speaker 8: of TKO.
Speaker 5: He's an actor. He's a singer.
Speaker 8: I swear it, we'll sing something. If he didn't already,
Speaker 8: come on, man, do this do this storyline. It's not
Speaker 8: that complicated. Rock, you just need to come back and say, Okay,
Speaker 8: I'm the head of the table now, point blank. But
Speaker 8: I can understand something about what he wanted to do
Speaker 8: on SMA now is to erase what he did on
Speaker 8: the raw premiere on Netflix because he was way too
Speaker 8: friendly with Cody Rhoads. And maybe maybe he wants to
Speaker 8: erase this and to make it quote unquote storyline k
Speaker 8: fabe because he was way too friendly with Cody Roads
Speaker 8: and maybe This is just a way for him to say, Okay,
Speaker 8: that's why I was that friendly with him, k fab
Speaker 8: wise in the storyline wise, and then at the elimination
Speaker 8: chamber he will try to corrupt Cody Rhoads will refuse,
Speaker 8: and then Roman Reigns will came, will come and he
Speaker 8: will spear the hand out of the Rock or even
Speaker 8: codyer Ros.
Speaker 2: I don't care.
Speaker 5: I just want this match. Come on, man, you cannot
Speaker 5: come back.
Speaker 8: I say, you cannot come back, and don't give us
Speaker 8: this match. This is criminal. It's been like five years.
Speaker 8: Everybody is thinking about that last year we didn't have.
Speaker 8: It's okay, but it is now. The time is now.
Speaker 8: The last time is now. I swear, guys. I am
Speaker 8: sensing that if it's not now, it will never happen
Speaker 8: because I don't know. It's just an instinct. It's not
Speaker 8: next year. It has to be now, So guys, please
Speaker 8: the Rock versus Roman Reigns. Who is the head of
Speaker 8: the table or if it's not that way, who is
Speaker 8: the real boss?
Speaker 2: I can who is the.
Speaker 5: Real final boss, the tribal boss?
Speaker 8: I don't know, Rock Roman, That's what I.
Speaker 4: Want, Alex. I'm sensing there's a match you want, but
Speaker 4: I can't put my finger on it. As Cody and
Speaker 4: Cody and Rock. No, I don't know Cody and Solo.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to go back and listen to your voice.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 5: No, Cody, I know what it is. I know what
Speaker 5: it is.
Speaker 4: It's Roman versus Drew mcintac, That's what it is. Of course,
Speaker 4: I'm just being a jerk. I would concur with you
Speaker 4: one thousand percent, my friend, Except here's the problem. They
Speaker 4: aren't going that direction. There's no there's no sign of it.
Speaker 4: The only hope we have to cling on to that
Speaker 4: is that Roman is a heel. I'm sorry, Roman's babyface.
Speaker 4: Rock's a heel. So they're in the right place, right,
Speaker 4: They're on opposing side, so no one has to turn
Speaker 4: you got it. But the problem is he's focused on Cody.
Speaker 4: Roman's not even being mentioned, and Roman has his issues
Speaker 4: with Seth, so he's on his own war path with Seth. Unfortunately,
Speaker 4: my friend, do I dare say we could be looking
Speaker 4: at New Orleans at WrestleMania Gulp forty two as our
Speaker 4: next hope again for Roman Rock. If we don't get this,
Speaker 4: it's a somebody needs to go to prison. Or multiple
Speaker 4: people need to go to prison in WWE. I mean
Speaker 4: it is like you said, it's criminal, which means people
Speaker 4: need to be punished. There needs to be punitive action
Speaker 4: taken against those in creative maybe even throw Dwayne himself
Speaker 4: in the slammer for a few weeks. It is criminal.
Speaker 4: I know that a lot of people want Rock Cody
Speaker 4: or Rock whoever. The story and with the match that
Speaker 4: everyone wanted prior to this whole we want Cody thing that.
Speaker 4: Don't forget fans those do that hashtag that you got
Speaker 4: your wish, but you may have also fed up one
Speaker 4: of the biggest matches of all time, the Rock set
Speaker 4: of last year. You had it in palm in your
Speaker 4: hand and you let it go. It can be more,
Speaker 4: it could be closer to.
Speaker 5: The truth than that.
Speaker 4: So if it doesn't happen, maybe there's a subset of
Speaker 4: fans that we also should Just anybody that had a
Speaker 4: hashtag of we want Cody, We're just gonna take like
Speaker 4: a thousand of you at random and put you in prison.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe that's what we'll do. Anybody that had that
Speaker 4: hashtag and you did that during the Cody uh you
Speaker 4: know movement last year, We're gonna put a thousand of
Speaker 4: you randomly into prison because this is something that needs
Speaker 4: to happen. I would agree, all right, one more voicemail
Speaker 4: and my official predictions on the backside.
Speaker 9: It's kind of from Baltimore. So I know last week,
Speaker 9: you know, because I love my you know, state of
Speaker 9: the women's edition and about the whole situation about the
Speaker 9: one that I can is or that all this stuff
Speaker 9: I don't rubble now. Part of it, I think is
Speaker 9: is really by say all that because of Ria Ripley herself.
Speaker 9: Ria to me feels completely less than or not interesting.
Speaker 9: I'll see less, but she goes it's soil interesting right
Speaker 9: now as champion, I thought that like what she won
Speaker 9: the title to Charlotte of Restiba thirty nine two years ago.
Speaker 9: And as for that way right now, I feel like
Speaker 9: Lid Morgan is more. It's like Live in Britain, box
Speaker 9: Stand and Bailey are and Naomi and Biaka. Those are
Speaker 9: the stories that they're telling there or whatever's going to
Speaker 9: have been there is not going through. Doesn't reflect to
Speaker 9: Rea Ripley and help people are expecting and hoping that's
Speaker 9: Biaka and and Ria, but really why because they're the
Speaker 9: two biggest names of the company. I felt well looked good.
Speaker 9: But then as you say, as a story of that perspective,
Speaker 9: there there haven't been no issue. There's there's no issue
Speaker 9: between Biaka and Ria for years since they've been on
Speaker 9: different brands, so or are different shows Biancar connected. So
Speaker 9: it's like, what that's what it makes for Biaka to
Speaker 9: face real Ripley beyond it's gonna be a great national
Speaker 9: and it's a star power. It may end up still
Speaker 9: being Live Morgan even though she's still he's attacking champion.
Speaker 9: I just think it's gonna be uh uh live and
Speaker 9: incorporating Neo Skys's all three of them have been. They're
Speaker 9: twining with each other throughout the last few weeks. So
Speaker 9: I think that's what we're looking at. A triple threat
Speaker 9: match restimated for the Women's World Championship, and then what
Speaker 9: becab we do it because we probably something with Nailmi,
Speaker 9: probably don't have a singles match or something. I don't know.
Speaker 9: I thought the tasty title mats is going to happen
Speaker 9: at RUSS made it selves that last night and for
Speaker 9: the where the title change that happened was cool, But
Speaker 9: is if a tree, what's going to happen with them
Speaker 9: moving forward, but how the Biaka does, So that's just
Speaker 9: where because that's too for me where it comes to
Speaker 9: Ria Ripley and Biaka right now. So but that's just
Speaker 9: my thoughts saying, you know, we'll see what happens at
Speaker 9: the chamber itself, but you know about like who's with
Speaker 9: the with your predictions on your show and then and
Speaker 9: then then the year of review or stuff like that.
Speaker 9: But I don't know if I was to seeing it
Speaker 9: right now. We're here just feels less debt and everyone
Speaker 9: else in the women's divisions around her feels more interesting
Speaker 9: and compelling in her right now, So hopefully they'll change that,
Speaker 9: or even if she lose the title, she shouldn't have
Speaker 9: what it's go back because she's never been interesting. So
Speaker 9: that's it they buy.
Speaker 4: Thanks, Kyle has always for you analysis on the women's
Speaker 4: side of things. And I'm a big fan of Bianco
Speaker 4: Rip and Rhea. I have been for years since they've
Speaker 4: teased it, ever since they were the final two and
Speaker 4: the Women's Rumble of a few years ago I think
Speaker 4: two three years ago now, and we saw what they
Speaker 4: could do and just they haven't really crossed paths yet
Speaker 4: outside of that, and they are two massive names that
Speaker 4: have not collided yet in a proper way. And while
Speaker 4: I agree that you know Live and EO, I have
Speaker 4: no problem with Leo as well. You know, you can
Speaker 4: have a triple threat there but a couple of problems,
Speaker 4: and you named them yourself Live as a tag team champion,
Speaker 4: and her involvement in the women's title of with Rie Ripley,
Speaker 4: We've been there and done that. We did that for
Speaker 4: like six months, I mean ever since Ria Ripley returned
Speaker 4: at SummerSlam and went after Live Morgan and yeah, we
Speaker 4: had to turn with Live and Dom and all that.
Speaker 4: Ever since that moment would Live and Dom got together,
Speaker 4: that was at Summer Slam, it's been Live Rea Real Live, Live, Real,
Speaker 4: Real Live for months and months and months. I really
Speaker 4: don't think they're gonna go back to that for WrestleMania.
Speaker 4: I don't think it would be very interesting for a
Speaker 4: lot of fans. But you also have Eosky, who I
Speaker 4: have no problem with at all. Even though she's the
Speaker 4: one that dropped the belt to Bailey last year, she
Speaker 4: could regain it this year. Fans like her, really like her.
Speaker 4: Every time she gets in the ring, You're just like, Wow,
Speaker 4: why aren't we seeing more of her? So again with
Speaker 4: Bianca though you said, well beyond star power and great match,
Speaker 4: Well well it's kind of like, well, yeah, that's the
Speaker 4: point though, isn't it. I mean, that's the whole point.
Speaker 4: And I don't want Jade to screw this whole thing up,
Speaker 4: which very well could lest Naomi's revealed as the culprit.
Speaker 5: I mean, who knows.
Speaker 4: But Bianca just getting out of a tag team, hopefully
Speaker 4: out of the division for good, just dropping the tag
Speaker 4: team belts it gives you a big clue that she's
Speaker 4: about to head into a singles role and perhaps just
Speaker 4: nicely in time for her to face Beanca to win
Speaker 4: the chamber. Maybe that's my hope, but thank you Colin. Actually,
Speaker 4: speaking of which, let's just get into my predictions everybody
Speaker 4: for tomorrow night's or tonight's as you listen to this
Speaker 4: Elimination Chamber event, and one that I have to say,
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm really excited about this Poe because it
Speaker 4: is one that really could be massive. I don't know
Speaker 4: it's going to be industry changing. No, Okay, let me
Speaker 4: be honest with you that while I said it at
Speaker 4: the beginning of the show. Could be marketing. I think
Speaker 4: it's a lot of marketing there. It's a lot of hype.
Speaker 4: He's doing his job to get people in her. If
Speaker 4: we literally take it as industry changing, we're gonna be
Speaker 4: very disappointed. Is it gonna be a big show? Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's gonna be. I mean, you got The Rock on
Speaker 4: there with a big decision and a big storyline. You
Speaker 4: got two massive chamber matches with implications for the WrestleMania
Speaker 4: main event. It's inherently built in to have a big impact.
Speaker 4: But is it going to have an earth shaking industry
Speaker 4: changing the way we think of it affect? Probably not right.
Speaker 4: In other words, what do we think of as industry changing?
Speaker 4: That's as big as it gets. We're thinking Stone Colds
Speaker 4: coming out of retirement to face the Rock, we think, right,
Speaker 4: like Triple H is coming out of retirement to face
Speaker 4: Cody Rhoads. Right is we think it's one of those
Speaker 4: massive out of retirement, out of nowhere matchups. Right, it's
Speaker 4: gonna be Triple H or rather a HBK Undertaker Part
Speaker 4: three at WrestleMania. You know, we think of something crazy
Speaker 4: like that because that language carries that kind of weight
Speaker 4: with it. But it's not gonna be okay. Is it
Speaker 4: going to be a big night? Yes, I think his
Speaker 4: choice of words is a little bit overboard, so to
Speaker 4: take that opinion for what it's worth. All right, So
Speaker 4: let's go to the men's chamber. Actually, let's go to
Speaker 4: the unsanctioned match first. Kevin Owen Sammy's Ain. I'm really
Speaker 4: looking forward to this. They have gotten me very interested
Speaker 4: in this match, where I have not been that interested,
Speaker 4: at least from the perspective of we've seen this before,
Speaker 4: we've been down this road. They've done an awesome job
Speaker 4: of changing it up, making it beyond personal, I mean
Speaker 4: ultra personal, going to each other's homes, being stalker esque.
Speaker 4: This is going to be violent. It's going to be brutal.
Speaker 4: There will be bloodshed, at least there should be. It's
Speaker 4: not again, as I said, it's not about winning and losing.
Speaker 4: It's about the storyline progressing to something bigger, which is
Speaker 4: probably gonna be at WrestleMania. Randy Orton should get involved here.
Speaker 4: He should be the one to take out Kevin Owens,
Speaker 4: maybe save Sammy's Ain from death right. Maybe Kevin Owens
Speaker 4: has his neck in a chair or something wrapped on
Speaker 4: in a steel chain around a ring post, I mean,
Speaker 4: something ridiculous, and Randy Orton makes the save to get
Speaker 4: revenge on Kevin Owens for giving him a package pile
Speaker 4: driver a couple of months ago. That's my guess. So
Speaker 4: fun match, brutal match. You know it's this one's gonna
Speaker 4: be awesome. There's just no way it's not. Tiffany Stratton
Speaker 4: and Trish strattis versus Ni Jackson, Candice Larray. Probably Tiffy
Speaker 4: and Trish, the two teas probably gonna win this. I mean,
Speaker 4: that's what it is. And Tiffany's or other, Trish's back
Speaker 4: to being a babyface.
Speaker 5: I guess.
Speaker 4: All right, the Women's elimination Chamber match, Alexa, Actually, let
Speaker 4: me let me talk about this first before I get
Speaker 4: to that. Charlotte might have a say in this and
Speaker 4: the Tiffy and Trish matchup. She I mean, she could
Speaker 4: end up costing them the match, Charlotte, so keep an
Speaker 4: eye out for her or after the match. I expect
Speaker 4: Charlotte to attack Tiffany and Trish. So all right, Alexa
Speaker 4: versus Bianca versus Bailey, Naomi, Rox San Perez and Live Morgan.
Speaker 4: I am just gonna go with what I want and
Speaker 4: not what is the smart choice, and that's Bianca Bela Air.
Speaker 4: I'm going with Bianca. Is she the most likely, No,
Speaker 4: But it's what I want because the stars are right there.
Speaker 4: It's right here. Bel Air's out of the tag team
Speaker 4: scene at least for the moment. She's not a tag
Speaker 4: team champion. That was just dropped. That gives you a
Speaker 4: big hint as to what could be happening. Bell Air
Speaker 4: has been hiding behind the scenes for too long, and
Speaker 4: I think she wins here now. The other runner up
Speaker 4: definitely Alexa Bliss. I think she is the second in
Speaker 4: command here and most people, I think are picking Alexa
Speaker 4: Blist to win, and with good reasons. She's just returned,
Speaker 4: She's got a lot of momentum, people lover, she's got
Speaker 4: the throwback to being with Bray. There's a lot going
Speaker 4: for her there, and she's probably gonna be aligning with
Speaker 4: the Wyat six very soon. That's been clear on television.
Speaker 4: So the smart pick would be Alexa Bliss. My heart
Speaker 4: wants to choose Bianca, so that's.
Speaker 5: What I'm gonna go with. Liv Morgan.
Speaker 4: I don't think so for the reasons I talked about
Speaker 4: earlier rox Sanmperez too early in her career, Naomi probably
Speaker 4: gonna be revealed as the attacker of Jade. So all right,
Speaker 4: Men's elimination Chamber, John Cena, Sampunk, Damian Price, Seth Rollins,
Speaker 4: Drew Mcatyre, and Logan Paul. First of all, before I
Speaker 4: give you my winner, this is going to be an
Speaker 4: awesome match. I mean, especially the fact lover hate him
Speaker 4: Logan Paul in this match just really adds another level
Speaker 4: because you know what he's capable of, we know what
Speaker 4: he can do. He's going to be just an awesome
Speaker 4: addition here. And is he gonna win?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: Could it be the final two or three? Yeah, he
Speaker 5: could be.
Speaker 4: And you know also John Cena is probably gonna be
Speaker 4: number six out of the chamber, if not five, definitely
Speaker 4: five or six he's gonna be towards the end. So
Speaker 4: who's gonna start Probably Logan Paul and Seth Rollins something
Speaker 4: like that. Then incomes Drew, then in comes Priest, then
Speaker 4: in comes Punk, then in comes John Cena something along
Speaker 4: those lines. That's my guess in terms of the order,
Speaker 4: not that that's super important, but so ultimately who wins. Hmmm, boy,
Speaker 4: is this tough. I'm I'm going with Sena. It's not
Speaker 4: a it's not a cute pick. There's nothing clever about this.
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to be the smartest guy in the room.
Speaker 4: He's the one that just makes the most sense here
Speaker 4: for me. Seth, I think is gonna be screwed by Roman,
Speaker 4: but it's deserved because of what he did to Roman Rumble.
Speaker 4: So Seth, while he may be in the final two
Speaker 4: or three as well, is going to get speared into
Speaker 4: oblivion by Roman, who either is under the ring or
Speaker 4: comes through when the door is opened and he spears
Speaker 4: Rollins and Rollins is gonna be irate. He costs him
Speaker 4: the match, and that's that. Damian Priest no chance. Logan
Speaker 4: Paul no chance at this point in his career yet Punk.
Speaker 4: It could come down to Sena and Punk. Seen a
Speaker 4: punk Paul, that's my guess for the final three, or
Speaker 4: it could be seen a punk Rollins, but Paul the
Speaker 4: longer he goes in the match. Here's the advantage if
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about this strategically. While Logan Paul doesn't have
Speaker 4: really the star power or longevity or value in his
Speaker 4: in ring you know his character that w looks at
Speaker 4: yet it's that he makes everyone look good. And the
Speaker 4: longer you have him in the match to take the
Speaker 4: bumps instead of the you know, the older guy's taking
Speaker 4: the bumps, that's saving you know, wear and tear on
Speaker 4: those guys bodies, and it's given Logan Paul more minutes.
Speaker 4: It's a win win to keep Paul in maybe until
Speaker 4: the final two.
Speaker 5: It really is. I think Logan Paul is going to
Speaker 5: go deep.
Speaker 4: I don't think he's gonna get eliminated off the bat,
Speaker 4: especially with how much time they're giving him on TV.
Speaker 5: It would make no sense.
Speaker 4: So Paul's not gonna win, but he could go very
Speaker 4: deep into this match.
Speaker 5: Ultimately.
Speaker 4: Is it gonna be Sena, Yes, I think it is,
Speaker 4: which leads to a Sena Cody, and then maybe the
Speaker 4: Favors called in for punk and you know, how does
Speaker 4: that work? We put Paul Hayman favor all that, and
Speaker 4: then of course the Rock and Cody Rhodes where the
Speaker 4: Rock is turned down by Cody, it infuriates the Rock.
Speaker 4: The Rock is, you know, irate. There's gonna be some
Speaker 4: physicality here, I would imagine, But what happens here maybe
Speaker 4: there is. If this is the final segment, I could
Speaker 4: see Drew McIntyre being the one to come out in
Speaker 4: a suit or even cmpungk.
Speaker 5: It's good.
Speaker 4: If it's the final segment, it's going to be bigger
Speaker 4: than if it's a middle segment. So it's hard to
Speaker 4: tell other than Cody turning him down, and then what
Speaker 4: happens after that. It could be a plan be revealed
Speaker 4: by the Rock. That's what I think is gonna be.
Speaker 4: Whoever that Plan B is will be revealed again. It
Speaker 4: could end with a slap, it could end with a
Speaker 4: rock bottom and just that's it. But if it's the
Speaker 4: final segment, I think you're gonna get a step further
Speaker 4: and you're gonna see who that Plan B is that
Speaker 4: the Rock chose to be his champion. All right, there
Speaker 4: it is. There's my final predictions. Thank you everybody for
Speaker 4: giving me yours. I hope everybody enjoys the plee. I'll
Speaker 4: be on X usually that's kind of where I live
