Speaker 1: This is WWE Superstar Drew mcinto and you're listening to
Speaker 1: the WWE podcast show.
Speaker 2: The one that Everybody Wants Me sixteen. So just well,
Speaker 2: your ass is mind, you can acknowledge me what is
Speaker 2: going on everybody, and welcome to another main event review.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for tuning into this week's episode.
Speaker 2: We're coming off the back of Night of Champions, which
Speaker 2: we reviewed last week, and back to normal proceedings with
Speaker 2: the two main event matches and also the events that
Speaker 2: transpired on Raw as well. This recording was a little
Speaker 2: bit different normally in the main events for those that
Speaker 2: do know or don't know, we're recorded the night before
Speaker 2: the next coming Monday Night Raw, but this time it
Speaker 2: was recorded in Saudi Arabia on SmackDown before before the
Speaker 2: SmackDown show there. It seems as though that they forgot
Speaker 2: to bring the main event banners because there was SmackDown
Speaker 2: across the ring when when they were in Saudi Arabia,
Speaker 2: So the two matches will have SmackDown banners all around.
Speaker 2: But yeah, this was filmed before before before SmackDown, so
Speaker 2: that's probably why that was the case. But yeah, a
Speaker 2: few things to get through there or else. Everything else
Speaker 2: was pretty much the same as what main event normally
Speaker 2: is anyway. So we do get off and kick away
Speaker 2: with the first match, and that was the Guarda delphan
Speaker 2: Tasma taking on Thraxium, the Gardadel delf Phantasma. I keep
Speaker 2: getting the name always mixed up when I say it
Speaker 2: gets the victory here Angel and Burda, which was a
Speaker 2: bit of a surprise to me given that Thraxium have
Speaker 2: started off on fire and we're pretty much close to
Speaker 2: getting a World Tag Team Championship on SmackDown and now
Speaker 2: they're losing on main event. I guess probably the main
Speaker 2: reason why that's the case is because the Gata del
Speaker 2: Fantasma are the Triple A Tag Team Champions and if
Speaker 2: you guys have the chance to watch that match, it
Speaker 2: was a really good match. I ended up actually watching
Speaker 2: it on Triple A and they won the title. Then,
Speaker 2: given that they have the partnership with each other, obviously
Speaker 2: they're able to bring those belts to WWE, which they
Speaker 2: have done. So I guess this is them just flexing
Speaker 2: their muscles, giving them that kind of momentum and to
Speaker 2: defend that belt, but also to sort of flex that
Speaker 2: out on a main show as well, and I guess
Speaker 2: if thracks and beat them, then they'd be contenders for
Speaker 2: that championship too, and it just overcomplicate things. But this
Speaker 2: is just a standard match. I think nothing that will
Speaker 2: change the storyline there. Obviously, the tag team division has
Speaker 2: ramped up in SmackDown, especially now with the integration of
Speaker 2: the Yat six two. They're looking to get their nose
Speaker 2: involved in tag team business. And I always say this
Speaker 2: SmackDown's doing a really good job at the tag team
Speaker 2: division and how it's been structured, but rules really lacking behind,
Speaker 2: So it might there might need to be a bit
Speaker 2: of a kind of shift in getting these tag teams
Speaker 2: on rules as well, hopefully. But Thraxium and are new
Speaker 2: and they're coming off NXT. They started hot and they're
Speaker 2: sort of slowing down at the moment, But I don't
Speaker 2: think it will really affect anything there. The tag team
Speaker 2: division will remain competitive and Fraction will be involved in
Speaker 2: that as well, and Legarda de van Delf Fantasma will
Speaker 2: continue to stay as there are. There was a bit
Speaker 2: of teasers that Berdo could potentially leave. They were sort
Speaker 2: of teasing that with Santran Siscoba, they weren't really getting
Speaker 2: along and he sort of was trying to get convinced
Speaker 2: but from Monreido. So I'm not really sure what happened there,
Speaker 2: because all of a sudden they're looking stronger than ever
Speaker 2: with the Triple A belts. But maybe something that they
Speaker 2: will probably revisit, because I did sort of of suspect
Speaker 2: that Berda could potentially be a babyface with Andreida and
Speaker 2: form a new tag team, but they sort of ditch
Speaker 2: that for now. So yeah, we'll have to wait and
Speaker 2: see how that goes. But again, those two win the match,
Speaker 2: and as mentioned, they'll probably get some more momentum going
Speaker 2: forward there. We then move on to Raw, where we
Speaker 2: have Gantha entering the ring to run a promo basically
Speaker 2: saying that Goldberg is a fifty eight year old man
Speaker 2: that wants to write out his career. Gantha said that
Speaker 2: it won't happen because Goldberg is not capable of taking
Speaker 2: the world title from him. He said that he's capable
Speaker 2: of beating Goldberg in under three minutes, but his goal
Speaker 2: was to take him his time, blow him up, outclass him,
Speaker 2: and embarrass him in front of everyone that is near
Speaker 2: and dear to him. He also mentions that that Goldberg
Speaker 2: doesn't like bullies, but basically said that he is the
Speaker 2: biggest bully around, so then mentioned that he'll bully him
Speaker 2: and eat him like a piece of crap. Then he
Speaker 2: basically said there's nothing old worker do about it. Gunthah
Speaker 2: then said if people would wonder if he still has it,
Speaker 2: but Gantha would expose him, and Ganthah then said after
Speaker 2: he wins, he'll be the one to ask who's next.
Speaker 2: And as he said that, about three or four times,
Speaker 2: Seth Rolins makes his way into the ring with his
Speaker 2: money in the bank briefcase that Paul Hayman was holding.
Speaker 2: It was funny because as soon as Seth Rollins and
Speaker 2: Paul Hayman came into the ring, Guanta basically said that
Speaker 2: they seemed happy for going all the way to Saudi
Speaker 2: Arabia and achieving nothing, which yeah, was pretty hilarious. He
Speaker 2: said that. Then actually Rolands said that they haven't seen
Speaker 2: Ganthera since he regained the world heavyweight title and explained
Speaker 2: that Knight of Champions wasn't to cash in the money
Speaker 2: in the bank, it was to stop seeing Punk from
Speaker 2: becoming world champion, and that's when they were seeing Punk
Speaker 2: chants Seth Rollins did congratulate guntherhah, and as he was
Speaker 2: about to probably say that he's going to cash in
Speaker 2: on him, eventually Seampunk comes in and just starts attacking
Speaker 2: Seth Rowlins, and Seth Rollins then escapes the ring, and
Speaker 2: as he does escape the ring, La Knight is behind
Speaker 2: him and ends up attacking him as well. And while
Speaker 2: that's happening in the ring, Gunthera bumps into Sampunk and
Speaker 2: hooked his arm, and then Sampunk pushed him onto the
Speaker 2: ground and they kind of had a stare off there.
Speaker 2: But the main thing here was the two things that
Speaker 2: actually happened, obviously Seampunk and Seth Rolins, which I suspect
Speaker 2: that they're going to get at it at Summer Slam
Speaker 2: once again. Those two can't seem to get away from
Speaker 2: each other. But l A Knight attacking Seth Rollins and
Speaker 2: setting himself up a match at Saturday Night's main event
Speaker 2: will be something extremely interesting. I think since La Knight
Speaker 2: has dropped the belt, or even while he's had the belt,
Speaker 2: he hasn't really had any important storylines, and I think
Speaker 2: this one's massive for him. He's really getting himself involved
Speaker 2: in big picture here, taking on Seth Rowlins, which which
Speaker 2: is what I like to see, but I don't think
Speaker 2: he's going to win the match unfortunately at Saturday Night's
Speaker 2: main events, so this is probably just going to be
Speaker 2: a one off thing and it will lead to see
Speaker 2: him punkin and Seth Rollins, and I guess Seth Rowlans
Speaker 2: continues to flex his muscles. I did say he was
Speaker 2: going to go for the WWE Championship, but you never
Speaker 2: know now with what Seth Rowlins is doing, obviously teasing Gunther,
Speaker 2: teasing John Cena, teasing Cody Rhodes. Essentially, it can go anywhere,
Speaker 2: and that's what I like about this. But we're really
Speaker 2: not accounting for for brand splits at the moment because
Speaker 2: there's no brand split anymore with these storylines, like Seth
Speaker 2: Rowlins is getting involved with people on SmackDown and he's
Speaker 2: obviously trying to cash in as well, and he's on
Speaker 2: Monday Night Raw, so it doesn't really make too much sense.
Speaker 2: I do like the idea of All a Night potentially
Speaker 2: moving to RAW. I think that could be something that
Speaker 2: would really elevate. He's made for a show like Monday
Speaker 2: Night Rule. I feel like it suits him more as well,
Speaker 2: and definitely an opportunity to fight for a title that's
Speaker 2: not I guess overlooked by or like over inflated by
Speaker 2: John Cedar, Cody Rhodes and now Ran Tord and Drew
Speaker 2: McIntyre too on that side, since what's been happening on SmackDown,
Speaker 2: So maybe going for World Heavyweight Championship, taking on Guntha,
Speaker 2: having a program with him, or if Seth Rollins Cash
Speaker 2: is in for that title, then having a program. I
Speaker 2: think he's in better spot for that for that, then
Speaker 2: then on on SmackDown at the moment, because I think
Speaker 2: l A. Knight has the capabilities of being a world champion,
Speaker 2: it's just right now, the talent is so heavy that
Speaker 2: he hasn't had his opportunity, and I feel like eventually
Speaker 2: he will. The fact that he's really good on the
Speaker 2: mic and fans really like him is something that I
Speaker 2: think we'll see in the future, But for now, I
Speaker 2: think he's just going to hype up this match, but
Speaker 2: most likely he'll he'll probably lose there. We then stay
Speaker 2: on Raw and we have Real Ripley coming into the
Speaker 2: ring as well. She essentially mentions that she's put away
Speaker 2: the judgment day for good and she basically wanted to
Speaker 2: say what's next for her since Evolution is around the corner.
Speaker 2: That's when es Guy makes her entrance into the into
Speaker 2: the ring. She said that she can't have Evolution without Sky.
Speaker 2: She mentions that she is not on top. Ripley is
Speaker 2: not on top as Skuy's the world women's World champion.
Speaker 2: She already also mentioned that she spoke to Adam Pierce
Speaker 2: and told her that she could pick who she wants
Speaker 2: to defend the world title against that Evolution and s
Speaker 2: Guy chooses obviously rear Ripley. Ripley says that she has
Speaker 2: a lot of respect for er Guy, but if that's
Speaker 2: what she wants, she will stop at nothing to get
Speaker 2: that title back, and whatever happens at Evolution, this is
Speaker 2: what er Guy wanted as well. So this sort of
Speaker 2: sets up the match at Evolution between the two. So
Speaker 2: es this Guy finally has a match and is finally
Speaker 2: going to defend the title. She hasn't done that since
Speaker 2: WrestleMania and they haven't been able to find anything for
Speaker 2: her unfortunately, So that's why I guess real Ripley is
Speaker 2: going back into the fold. But they do get another
Speaker 2: chance at fighting each other. One on one and gives
Speaker 2: Real Ripley the opportunity to win the title here. I
Speaker 2: don't think she will, but we'll have to see what
Speaker 2: happens there. I'm really excited for Evolution as well. I
Speaker 2: really like the idea of a women's or women's pay
Speaker 2: per view. I think it's going to have a lot
Speaker 2: of really significant matches, and I think this will be
Speaker 2: one of them. This might lead up to what will
Speaker 2: happen at SummerSlam, obviously, as guy will defend the title
Speaker 2: at SummerSlam, you'd like to think. So there's no real
Speaker 2: storyline for her or new storyline on New Food at
Speaker 2: the moment, so we may see this kind of amp
Speaker 2: up or I don't know, maybe a return or something.
Speaker 2: But the fact that this match is that Evolution with
Speaker 2: some slam around the corner is going to tell where
Speaker 2: the direction of this title will be post that, So
Speaker 2: we'll look out for that Food for sure. We then
Speaker 2: get the second match of main event between Beefab and
Speaker 2: Roxanne Perez. Obviously, being in Saudi Arabia, they have to
Speaker 2: fully clothe themselves, and I already gave my sort of
Speaker 2: take on that we had Roxane Perez getting the victory here,
Speaker 2: So that's twice Beefab has lost to NXT NXT Elevated
Speaker 2: Stars those are NXC this year, so two rookies. Will say,
Speaker 2: for lack of a better term, but this time roxan
Speaker 2: Perez rolling up and putting her legs on the second
Speaker 2: rope to get the victory here, so sort of cheating
Speaker 2: her way there, but great victory. Nevertheless, again Beefab is
Speaker 2: not really doing much as a single star, and maybe
Speaker 2: she might be injected into that tag team match given
Speaker 2: that she is a SmackDown superstar with Michin, but highly
Speaker 2: doubt it. We might just see her in the Women's
Speaker 2: Battle Royal. But Roxanne gets the victory here, giving her
Speaker 2: I guess, momentum going into holding those team championships with
Speaker 2: Roccala Rodriguez, which is what we're gonna see. But then
Speaker 2: we also have Charlotte Flair and Alexiblitt involved in that too,
Speaker 2: and I want to sort of talk about that because
Speaker 2: I like the idea of it. I like the idea
Speaker 2: that they don't necessarily have to be friends. But we're
Speaker 2: seeing two sort of single stars, massive single stars come
Speaker 2: together and form it a tag team, and that's something
Speaker 2: that I've been wanting to see in the men's division
Speaker 2: for a very long time, and I'm sort of glad
Speaker 2: they're doing it in the women's division with those two
Speaker 2: superstars as well. Those two deserve to be up there. Obviously,
Speaker 2: people have their opinions and thoughts on Charlotte Flair, but
Speaker 2: she has a legend, she has done a lot of
Speaker 2: things for the company, so her being involved and if
Speaker 2: she's still an active superstar, needs to be involved in
Speaker 2: titles and needs to be involved in something significant. And
Speaker 2: I think that those two are going for the titles
Speaker 2: elevates the women's tag team division and also improves it
Speaker 2: as well. And that's why sometimes I find that it's
Speaker 2: really important to have sort of single superstars formerst tag teams,
Speaker 2: not for a long time, not for something that's long term,
Speaker 2: but at least something that can kind of elevate the
Speaker 2: titles when the titles are sort of dying out. And
Speaker 2: that's what I noticed with tag teams divisions is that
Speaker 2: sometimes the titles and kind of the feuds do sort
Speaker 2: of fade out. So that's why it's good to have
Speaker 2: single superstars kind of partner up together. And in this aspect,
Speaker 2: it's going to be Charlotte Flair and Alexiblitz, which is
Speaker 2: something really exciting, but again that doesn't really do much
Speaker 2: for what we're talking about in this match. But again,
Speaker 2: they're going to be fighting Roxane Verz is going to
Speaker 2: be fighting these two and she'll need that and this
Speaker 2: will obviously motivate her there and they will give her
Speaker 2: a lift for that match to going forward. We then
Speaker 2: had the main event match between bron Breaker and Bronson
Speaker 2: Reid and taking on Penta and sami Zain. We had
Speaker 2: bron Breaker spearing Zayne to get the pin here, and
Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to damage Samuzain too much.
Speaker 2: Obviously she he took the pin, but given that he
Speaker 2: got attacked by carrying a cross before kind of makes
Speaker 2: his feel as though that the injury kind of cost
Speaker 2: cost him there. But after the mattress was the interesting part.
Speaker 2: Penter was checking up on Samusain and then bron Breaker
Speaker 2: nailed Penter with the spear and Reid was about to
Speaker 2: go on top and hit a tsunami, but then jay
Speaker 2: Uso made it to the ring to save Samuseain. The
Speaker 2: fans went off when ja made his entrance to the
Speaker 2: ring and he hit Samuzain with or not Samuzain, he
Speaker 2: hit multiple super kicks and also Jasu threw a chair
Speaker 2: at Reid to knock his head out of the ring.
Speaker 2: He celebrated with Zaane and Pent in the ring and
Speaker 2: bon Breaker Bronson, Reid and put himI were down on
Speaker 2: the floor, and that was pretty much a flex there.
Speaker 2: We might see a potential six man tag if these
Speaker 2: three are involved to take on Rolins, read and break up.
Speaker 2: But maybe we might see this on Raw and not
Speaker 2: on any main events, or we could see jay Uso
Speaker 2: and Samusein in one of these PL's go up against
Speaker 2: them too, And now that ja Uso is out of
Speaker 2: the title title race, this probably makes more sense for
Speaker 2: him to get involved with Samuzain here and potentially those
Speaker 2: two could team up for kind of the time being
Speaker 2: and go for the World Tag Team Champions there. But again,
Speaker 2: a lot of there's been a lot of talking, a
Speaker 2: lot of buzz with Samusein potentially getting his WrestleMania moment
Speaker 2: next year, and I also mentioned that he is pretty
Speaker 2: much a favorite going into next year's role Robbell, especially
Speaker 2: given that it's in Saudi Arabia, and I think the
Speaker 2: way that it's directed is that he will main event
Speaker 2: WrestleMania and have his main event moment given that he's
Speaker 2: been a long serviceable member for ww F for so long,
Speaker 2: So we'll look at We'll look at that down in
Speaker 2: the line for sure. But again, these guys have to
Speaker 2: continue to fight off this massive faction on Raw and
Speaker 2: it gives everyone here something something to do, which is great.
Speaker 2: But again there's been another main event review. Next week
Speaker 2: I'll be reviewing Saturday night's main event along with the
Speaker 2: main event review. Again, these pls come out of nowhere,
Speaker 2: So if there is anything on Raw that sort of
Speaker 2: leads up to the main event, I won't review it,
Speaker 2: But if it's not, i'll review it obviously because we
Speaker 2: want to keep it as consistent as we can to
Speaker 2: the main event. But I hope you guys understand given
Speaker 2: that there is only two matches and there isn't really
Speaker 2: much storyline to talk about in these main event matches,
Speaker 2: only things where I can kind of predict what can
Speaker 2: happen based on those matches onto the main rosters, and
Speaker 2: then also talk about what they're sort of doing on
Speaker 2: the main roster as well. I would love for main event.
Speaker 2: I wish they could do it to sort of be
Speaker 2: a show where those that can't get on SmackDown and
Speaker 2: Rawle have their feuds and have their issues. Then maybe
Speaker 2: we can implement one of the mid card titles to
Speaker 2: be challenged on that show here and there. But that's
Speaker 2: just me asking, maybe for too much. But again it's
Speaker 2: been your your boy Daniel and another main event review.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for tuning in and I'll catch
Speaker 2: you guys next week.
