Speaker 1: Making her wait till the mic they started dimming the lights.
Speaker 1: You started feeling all ride from Birmingham home with the
Speaker 1: teddy lungs and the rumor studies more once you discovered
Speaker 1: before rather of the lovers, Whitney Houston and Roman Reigns,
Speaker 1: all of the lovers, and Mickey James and Mark j
Speaker 1: all of the lovers that Sasha bangs, you're them on
Speaker 1: pay silk signing cat page. Allow me to say, look,
Speaker 1: I just found the blessed weetescape every one of us.
Speaker 1: I was kind of laxed. I just made it up
Speaker 1: the struble blood walking by the face because I know
Speaker 1: it's right in front of us.
Speaker 2: I ain't with the hay.
Speaker 1: You gotta focus on what's great, ladies and gentlemen. Steph
Speaker 1: Hardy's on the air. Had to drop a couple of
Speaker 1: bars just to make you all aware. So sit bad, relax,
Speaker 1: enjoy the show. You know why go by Joe what
Speaker 1: the wrestle?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah?
Speaker 1: Making her wait?
Speaker 2: So I am so sorry y'all almost got the theme
Speaker 2: song a second time. I know there are probably people
Speaker 2: who wouldn't mind listening to it a second time, but
Speaker 2: that was a complete accident. I'm sorry, y'all, Welcome, Welcome
Speaker 2: to a new episode of The Hardy Wrestling Podcast with
Speaker 2: your girl, Stephanie Hardy. I am so sorry. I am late,
Speaker 2: but a lot of stuff kind of got in the way.
Speaker 2: But either way, tech stuff got in away. But I
Speaker 2: still wanted to come on here and do a show
Speaker 2: because there's still so much going on in wrestling. Even
Speaker 2: now as we speak, there was one thing that I
Speaker 2: wanted to talk about in news and gossip ish that
Speaker 2: took a complete turn thanks to TNAS against all odds
Speaker 2: taking place on this weekend. So there has just been
Speaker 2: so many amazing things in wrestling happening. But I still
Speaker 2: wanted to come on and you know, just talk to
Speaker 2: everybody about what's been happening because I'm just really excited
Speaker 2: about where we are in wrestling at this point. So
Speaker 2: of course, if you're new to the show, thank you
Speaker 2: so much for tapping in, and I hope that I
Speaker 2: can continue to carry on this journey with you as
Speaker 2: professional wrestling and your fandom continues to grow. And of course,
Speaker 2: if this isn't your first time listening or watching live,
Speaker 2: thank you so much for continuing your support of the show,
Speaker 2: of the brand, and of me in general as a
Speaker 2: person in this wrestling space. So yeah, I'm going to
Speaker 2: hold on one second, like.
Speaker 4: I'm going to get started.
Speaker 2: With news and gossip Vision.
Speaker 4: Just a little bit because.
Speaker 2: Being a little weird right now, and I just need
Speaker 2: a moment to just gather everything and make sure everything
Speaker 2: situated first before I continue to go on. This is weird, Okay,
Speaker 2: Basically I'm just gonna continue on with this because my
Speaker 2: microphone just doesn't seem to want to work with this.
Speaker 2: With these headphones, it's pretty odd. So we're gonna move
Speaker 2: on into news and gossip Fish. And this week has
Speaker 2: been really hot with contract news, all sorts of suspicions
Speaker 2: and so many other things. And of course we have
Speaker 2: to start off with some with one of wrestling's most
Speaker 2: favorite couples at this point, and that's Ricochet and Samantha Irvin. Now,
Speaker 2: of course, last weekend, when I was before you on
Speaker 2: the HWP News and Gossipfish, news had just broke that
Speaker 2: Ricochet had given notice to WWE saying that he was
Speaker 2: getting ready to leave after the summer was over, and
Speaker 2: then he would become a free agent and after that
Speaker 2: point we would figure out what he would do from there.
Speaker 2: But in the midst of that, on this past Monday
Speaker 2: on Raw he came out and beat up on bron Breaker,
Speaker 2: who was trying to attack Ilia dragonoff. And later on
Speaker 2: in the night he suffered an attack from bron Breaker
Speaker 2: where he got thrown into the side of a trailer
Speaker 2: like he was Ray Mysterio back in the day. And
Speaker 2: on top of that he was crashed into a windshield
Speaker 2: by bron Breaker too. So in the midst of this attack,
Speaker 2: Samantha was watching in horror because of course she's reing
Speaker 2: announced her she sees all this happening is we're watching it,
Speaker 2: and she runs away to the ambulance to be with
Speaker 2: him and to check on him, because of course that's
Speaker 2: her man, that's her fiance, and she's crying really hard
Speaker 2: and everything, and she goes to be with him in
Speaker 2: the ambulance, and that was really the last we saw
Speaker 2: of them, well, the last we saw Ricochet on screen,
Speaker 2: because of course we did see Samantha tonight Ring announcing
Speaker 2: at SmackDown in Glasgow, Scotland. So in the midst of that,
Speaker 2: everybody in their mama has been trying to figure out
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen with Ricochet and where is he gonna
Speaker 2: go next, or you know what, what explorations is he
Speaker 2: going to have? And there have even been there's even
Speaker 2: been speculation that he could very well stay in WWE
Speaker 2: if they work it out somehow. A possible rumor that
Speaker 2: was released this week stated that Ricochet could very well
Speaker 2: be written off TV for now, but then with the
Speaker 2: attention that his departure was getting in his possible next moves,
Speaker 2: that they might be considering bringing Ricochet back for another
Speaker 2: appearance to maximize the situation. And this is from Mike
Speaker 2: Johnson of PW Insider, and he wrote that his contract
Speaker 2: is set to in sometime around July, so we do
Speaker 2: have to wait and see what's gonna happen there. But
Speaker 2: a lot of people online were definitely stressing out over
Speaker 2: the fact that Samantha Irvin could possibly leave with him,
Speaker 2: because of course, they really love each other, and couples
Speaker 2: do sometimes like to work together to sort of keep
Speaker 2: their you know, relationship going in that way. But then
Speaker 2: there are other wrestling couples who do work their relationship
Speaker 2: out and work in different companies and do it for
Speaker 2: you know, a long time at that. So for all
Speaker 2: we know, Samantha could very well, you know, be staying
Speaker 2: in WWE if Ricochet does decide to leave, or she
Speaker 2: could go with him. But either way, I just hope
Speaker 2: that they do what's best for each other and what's best,
Speaker 2: you know, individually for their own careers. Personally, I wouldn't necessarily,
Speaker 2: you know, I would feel a little bit sad if
Speaker 2: Samantha left, But at the same time, you know, she
Speaker 2: is a very talented woman who has a lot to offer,
Speaker 2: So if she does decide to leave, she'll be fine
Speaker 2: wherever she goes. So big ups to Ricochet and Samantha
Speaker 2: for performing incredibly well this past Monday and for just
Speaker 2: keeping us on our toes and keeping us guessing as
Speaker 2: to what could possible be next for them. We'll always
Speaker 2: watch them and always figure that out. So yeah, it's
Speaker 2: just really cool stuff going on, and I just hope
Speaker 2: that they just figured we figure out what's next from
Speaker 2: from there. Eric in the comment saying, hey, hey, Eric,
Speaker 2: thank you for watching on YouTube. And then of course,
Speaker 2: something that I was going to talk about was the
Speaker 2: free agency of Jeff Hardy because his aw contract did expire.
Speaker 2: But something that happened because TNA was having an event
Speaker 2: call against all odds tonight in Chicago was the fact
Speaker 2: that we were surprised with the appearance of Jeff Hardy
Speaker 2: come to the aid of his brother Matt. So Jeff
Speaker 2: is now officially with TNA wrestling again and he's clear
Speaker 2: to Pete's Oh excuse me, he's clear to compete. So
Speaker 2: now he's gonna be out here fighting again. So there
Speaker 2: is no more speculation about that. Jeff is with TNA.
Speaker 2: Now don't you just love breaking news? We're not even
Speaker 2: just breaking news, but just how life has a tendency
Speaker 2: to just change things, right when you're in the midst
Speaker 2: of preparing for a show and you think it's gonna
Speaker 2: go one way, but wrestling's like, oh my beer, and
Speaker 2: it takes you somewhere else. So it's just funny. But yeah,
Speaker 2: big ups to Jeff Hardy, Big ups to the Big
Speaker 2: Bro for making another cool career move. So yeah. Also
Speaker 2: in news and gossipish, we have the Rock back in
Speaker 2: the news because there was a whole amazing ESPN column
Speaker 2: that was done on him and his entire preparation when
Speaker 2: it came to him preparing for WrestleMania this year and him,
Speaker 2: you know, just preparing to enter the ring for the
Speaker 2: first time in such a very long time, and one
Speaker 2: of the things that was mentioned outside of him being
Speaker 2: incredibly nervous about his performance in the ring, was also
Speaker 2: just the fact that someone asked him what what the
Speaker 2: plan is going to be for russell Mania forty one
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, and he alluded to him and the
Speaker 2: Final Boss character making an appearance that will make it
Speaker 2: a show to remember, and that's all he could say
Speaker 2: about that. And this freaks me out because I feel
Speaker 2: like we've been sort of playing this game back and
Speaker 2: forth with the Rock for close to over five years now,
Speaker 2: where he'll say something is going to happen, but then
Speaker 2: nothing truly happens or nothing really comes from it, and
Speaker 2: it's just kind of like, dude, what are we doing now,
Speaker 2: Like is it really, like, is what we're asking for
Speaker 2: actually going to happen? Because it did seem as if
Speaker 2: when he was trying to sort of drop Easter eggs
Speaker 2: into things when it came to him participating in a WrestleMania.
Speaker 2: It started with Wressemania in Los Angeles last year, where
Speaker 2: we thought for sure we were going to get the
Speaker 2: match between him and Roman Reigns, but then it turned
Speaker 2: out to be Cody versus Roman and that whole thing
Speaker 2: with the story not being finished in that way. And
Speaker 2: then this year with WrestleMania forty on the horizon, and
Speaker 2: low Ki looked like we were going to get we
Speaker 2: were going to get The Rock versus Roman, but us
Speaker 2: Cody Crybabies and I'll count myself in that, you know,
Speaker 2: as well spoke our peace and you know, they saved
Speaker 2: what the main event of Wressemania forty was supposed to be,
Speaker 2: which was Roman versus Cody two, and we wound up
Speaker 2: not getting that. But of course The Rock did indeed
Speaker 2: wrestle in tag team action on Night one, so that
Speaker 2: was okay. But a part of me is just low
Speaker 2: Ki scared that they're gonna low key set us up
Speaker 2: for disappointment again when it comes to Las Vegas, because
Speaker 2: at one point, you know, we were kind of on
Speaker 2: the train of let's see Roman versus the Rock because
Speaker 2: it would be generational and stuff like that, but we
Speaker 2: just didn't want it to be forced like if we
Speaker 2: didn't want it to be forced into something that it
Speaker 2: just wasn't or made at the expense of another superstar
Speaker 2: who had another story going. So maybe this year leading
Speaker 2: into Russemania forty one, we won't have that issue and
Speaker 2: everything will be okay. So yeah, I guess we just
Speaker 2: have to wait and see what the ride is going
Speaker 2: to be when it comes to the Rock and the
Speaker 2: final Boss version of himself in Vegas, and yeah, we're
Speaker 2: just gonna have to enjoy the ride on that one. Also,
Speaker 2: we're gonna send healing energy to the Rock because he
Speaker 2: got an elbow injury while filming his new movie with
Speaker 2: A twenty four. Yeah, that injury looked really bad and
Speaker 2: yeah it was. It was a really bad bruise on
Speaker 2: his elbow. So we're just gonna keep him lifted in
Speaker 2: good vibes and prayers as he recovers from that. Also
Speaker 2: in the news, we have the amazing, amazing announcement that
Speaker 2: Eo Sky, the former w W Women's Champion, former NXT
Speaker 2: Women's Champion as well as tag team Champion, is going
Speaker 2: to be participating in an event for Marigold, which is
Speaker 2: a new Japanese wrest Japanese women's wrestling promotion, and she
Speaker 2: is going to be fighting Utami Haya Shishita. Now, I
Speaker 2: hope I said that correctly. If I did not, please
Speaker 2: please don't hold it against me, but they will be
Speaker 2: fighting each other in July at Marigold Summer Destiny. Now,
Speaker 2: like I said, this is sort of a newer female
Speaker 2: female Japanese wrestling promotion that was created by the former
Speaker 2: I believe president or CEO of Stardom, and the idea
Speaker 2: that this gets to happen just sort of, you know,
Speaker 2: feeds into the idea of a forbidden door, and not
Speaker 2: necessarily the forbidden door that AW and New Japan have
Speaker 2: going on, but just the idea that WW is branching
Speaker 2: out and letting their stars participate in other matches and
Speaker 2: other dream scenarios where they can fight in other promotions
Speaker 2: that would definitely love to work with them, And I
Speaker 2: just think that type of environment is just amazing and
Speaker 2: it keeps wrestling thriving and it keeps it very exciting
Speaker 2: because you just never know what's going to happen or
Speaker 2: who's going to turn up where it's just always really
Speaker 2: fun that that is happening. And I'm glad that EO
Speaker 2: Sky gets to participating in that because we saw all
Speaker 2: the benefits of what crossovers do when it comes to
Speaker 2: like NXT and TNA, and then we have of course
Speaker 2: AW and New Japan. So I'm really glad that WW
Speaker 2: is continuing this, and I'm more than sure Eo and
Speaker 2: New Tommy are going to have an amazing match, so
Speaker 2: I'm definitely looking forward to that. I'm going to tune
Speaker 2: into that. It's gonna be really cool. So big up
Speaker 2: Cities ladies making women's wrestling history right here. It's just
Speaker 2: really cool. Also in the news, we have the possible
Speaker 2: interest of Hiku Leo, please forgive me if I'm mispronouncing
Speaker 2: his name, Hiku Leo possibly being signed to w W
Speaker 2: really soon. And something that sort of sets social media
Speaker 2: into a tizzy was the fact that they that was
Speaker 2: the fact that WWE filed a trademark on Junior eleventh
Speaker 2: for the name Tala Tonga, and it is rumored that
Speaker 2: Hiku Leo could be coming in to portray this newer
Speaker 2: person named Tala Tonga, but we really don't know, but
Speaker 2: he has expressed interest in possibly going to WW to
Speaker 2: be a part of the Bloodline wolf Pack or the
Speaker 2: Bootleg Bloodline, like Kevin Owens called them tonight on SmackDown.
Speaker 2: But this really did kind of send a lot of
Speaker 2: people spiraling into either happiness or anger. So we just
Speaker 2: have to wait and see what's going to happen with that.
Speaker 2: But it seems that there's a lot of opportunity happening
Speaker 2: with a lot of people of Pacific Islander descent when
Speaker 2: it comes to the bloodline story or just wanting to
Speaker 2: find opportunity as a whole. So I think this is amazing.
Speaker 2: So if he wants to come over, then come on over.
Speaker 2: But if he doesn't, that's fine too, just as long
Speaker 2: as he does what's right for himself. So big ups
Speaker 2: to Hikuleo. And also in news and gossipish, we have
Speaker 2: possible a possible rumor that ww might be interested in
Speaker 2: bringing in the Rascals to tag with Wesley as a
Speaker 2: part of their NXC and TNA endeavor because we did
Speaker 2: see of course, this past Sunday at Battleground where Jordan
Speaker 2: Grace faced off against Roxy and Perez for the NXC
Speaker 2: Women's title, and then we saw other TNA superstars sort
Speaker 2: of pop in and make appearances as well. But since
Speaker 2: Wesley has come back and he's been sort of gunning
Speaker 2: for the North American title again, he's also being ganged
Speaker 2: up on by Gallas and stuff, so it kind of
Speaker 2: made sense for people who really want the whole NXTNA
Speaker 2: thing to keep flourishing. That he brings in his Rascal brothers,
Speaker 2: you know, to help even up the odds, and that
Speaker 2: would make sense, and it would be really great if
Speaker 2: it did happen that way, But of course nothing has
Speaker 2: been officially confirmed yet. But there were a lot of
Speaker 2: fans and a lot of people like Wesley's wife who
Speaker 2: were pushing the who were pushing the narrative on social
Speaker 2: media that the Rascals need to have like one more
Speaker 2: big thing and that WW is the place to do it.
Speaker 2: And I really appreciated that, and I really like that ideas.
Speaker 2: So if they do do it, it would be fantastic
Speaker 2: if they did. It would be really cool if the
Speaker 2: Rascals were able to get back together in that way,
Speaker 2: and I would love it, so big up to the
Speaker 2: Rascals for even being put in that conversation. And I
Speaker 2: love that wes Lee is able to stand on his
Speaker 2: own two feet as an athlete and as his own
Speaker 2: man an owned star that he can you know, wrestle
Speaker 2: in matches for singles titles, but all the while still
Speaker 2: you know, sort of yearning for that formal bond that
Speaker 2: he had with the Rascals, So I think it would
Speaker 2: be a really good idea if they did it, But
Speaker 2: you know, it's all up to them. But I'm just
Speaker 2: here for whatever it is that or however it is,
Speaker 2: if they choose to facilitate more of the NXTTNA crossover things.
Speaker 2: So I like it a lot, and we'll talk more
Speaker 2: about that as we get off into the show later.
Speaker 2: But yeah, now we're going to move. That's the end
Speaker 2: of News and Gossip Fish, So now we're going to
Speaker 2: move to a special segment where I give predictions. I
Speaker 2: feel like over the past couple of weeks, I've been
Speaker 2: giving predictions for multiple pay per views. The month of June,
Speaker 2: the end of May into the month of June has
Speaker 2: just been full of wrestling action, just chock full of
Speaker 2: amazing pls and pay per views that I get to
Speaker 2: make predictions for. And this is no exception. This weekend
Speaker 2: we are having Clash at the Castle taking place in Scotland,
Speaker 2: which is of course the home country of Drew McIntyre,
Speaker 2: as well as Albafire and iladn and Piper Nivin. So
Speaker 2: this is an amazing homecoming for them. It's an amazing
Speaker 2: moment for Scotland as a whole, because they haven't really
Speaker 2: they've never had, I believe, a pl up until this point,
Speaker 2: and it's something that a lot of people have been
Speaker 2: suggesting and fighting for for a long period of time,
Speaker 2: including Drew McIntyre. So the fact that it actually is happening,
Speaker 2: you know, it's just really great. And then the first
Speaker 2: Clash in the Castle was a really huge success, and
Speaker 2: it was special for me because it was happening on
Speaker 2: the weekend of my birthday that year, so it was
Speaker 2: really fun to see and it was just a show
Speaker 2: that basically changed a lot of the trajectory of what
Speaker 2: we see in a lot of people's careers, like Dominic Mysterio.
Speaker 2: You don't get Dirty dom without him turning on his
Speaker 2: father at Clash in the Castle and turning on Edge
Speaker 2: Slash Adam Copland. And you definitely don't get this angry
Speaker 2: version of Drew McIntyre without him losing two Roman reigns
Speaker 2: in front of the Whales crowd due to the help
Speaker 2: of Solo Soca. And now you see where Solo so
Speaker 2: CoA is as the leader of this crazy bloodline, this
Speaker 2: rogue bloodline thing that's happening right now. So really, this
Speaker 2: really new pay per view has already just made waves,
Speaker 2: so I'm pretty sure that this one is going to
Speaker 2: make waves too. So yeah, I'm here in this segment
Speaker 2: to give my special predictions as to what could happen
Speaker 2: on tomorrow at Clash at the Castle. So of course
Speaker 2: we're going to start with the girls, because women are
Speaker 2: always first, and we have the tag team match, the
Speaker 2: Triple Threat tag team match for the women's tag team titles,
Speaker 2: with Bianca Belair and Jay car Gill going up against
Speaker 2: Shanna Basler and Zoe Stark and the hometown girls, Ailadon
Speaker 2: and Alba Fire. And let me just say that I
Speaker 2: want to send strength and love to Albafire because she
Speaker 2: is fighting this match in her hometown and in her
Speaker 2: home country, having just endured a really terrible loss. She
Speaker 2: lost her mom a few weeks back in an accident
Speaker 2: when she was visiting her And I can't even imagine
Speaker 2: reaching this level of an opportunity and you don't have
Speaker 2: someone who's been there for your whole life there to
Speaker 2: witness that, Like, I just want to see her healing
Speaker 2: energy and just prayers because that is not the easiest
Speaker 2: thing to deal with, you know, in terms of losing
Speaker 2: a parent like it is horrible, and I just hope
Speaker 2: that she is taking care of herself as best as
Speaker 2: she can and that the love that her and her
Speaker 2: mom had for each other will continue to carry her
Speaker 2: on into this moment. And you know, she just deserves this,
Speaker 2: and I just wanted to say that, and I'm glad
Speaker 2: that her and her and Isla get to have this
Speaker 2: opportunity because it was just last year when they got
Speaker 2: drafted and they were the NXT Women's Tag Team champions,
Speaker 2: but you didn't see them as much, and then when
Speaker 2: you did see them, they lost, and then they combined
Speaker 2: the titles together and you didn't see them that much
Speaker 2: on TV, and that just kind of bums you out
Speaker 2: when you think about how talented these ladies are. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just really incredible stuff. I'm really excited about this
Speaker 2: match because all these women are so talented, and then
Speaker 2: you have Shana and Zoe, who are very gritty and
Speaker 2: they're really trying to prove that they are the dominant
Speaker 2: athletes in the raw women's locker room. But I just
Speaker 2: wonder how Shana is even feeling at this point, considering
Speaker 2: she also just lost another high profile match against Lolavice
Speaker 2: at NXY Battleground in the underground match. So yeah, like
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure she is feeling that she can't lose
Speaker 2: yet another match again, and there's maybe not even not
Speaker 2: even just a sense, not even desperation. I'm just wondering,
Speaker 2: like if she feels that at this point she needs
Speaker 2: to just really put her all into this match here.
Speaker 2: But it really is hard to bet against Biakabella and
Speaker 2: Jay Cargill at this point. No matter who they face
Speaker 2: off against, whether it's you know, one on one, or
Speaker 2: whether it's an a tag team match or in this
Speaker 2: triple threat tag team situation that's happening here, it's hard
Speaker 2: to bet against them because they're just so powerful and
Speaker 2: they get each other, and they have a level of
Speaker 2: chemistry that's just unmatched in a team that you know,
Speaker 2: has never really materialized before up until this year. Like
Speaker 2: if you think about last year, both these women were
Speaker 2: in two totally different promotions. Jade was in aaw Bianca
Speaker 2: was in WWE doing her own thing, Like they were
Speaker 2: both doing their own thing, and now they're here together
Speaker 2: and they have this aura and this chemistry that just clicks.
Speaker 2: So I am predicting that Jade and Bianca will retain
Speaker 2: their titles, but I do predict that Alba Fire and
Speaker 2: Aila Don will definitely have a great showing in this matchup.
Speaker 2: Lets us know that we really do need to keep
Speaker 2: our eyes on them and not ignore them completely at all.
Speaker 2: But I'm definitely predicting that Jade and Bianca will win
Speaker 2: and retain those titles because they're just so dominant now
Speaker 2: and I just don't see them losing at this point,
Speaker 2: So that's my prediction for that. Also, we have a
Speaker 2: WW Women's Championship match between Piper Niven, who is also
Speaker 2: from Scotland, and Bailey, And of course this is materialized
Speaker 2: from the fact that Piper Niven and Chelsea Green have
Speaker 2: been attacking Bailey back and forth and everything and just
Speaker 2: sort of making it seem like they need to be
Speaker 2: paying attention she needs to be paying attention to them,
Speaker 2: and Piper was the one who of course stepped up
Speaker 2: and said, you know, I'm gonna face you in front
Speaker 2: of my people and all of that, and she wants
Speaker 2: to take the title from Bailey, and of course Chelsea
Speaker 2: was sort of being her spokesperson at first, but now
Speaker 2: it seems that with this few Piper has been able
Speaker 2: to express and show more of what she can do
Speaker 2: as an athlete and what she can say on her own.
Speaker 2: And I really appreciated that hold.
Speaker 4: On because this is not working for me.
Speaker 2: All right. So, like I was saying, I really feel
Speaker 2: that Piper has really come into herself when it comes
Speaker 2: to her when it comes to her performance in this feud,
Speaker 2: and when it comes to like her speaking. And like
Speaker 2: I said last week, I hated the idea that while
Speaker 2: she was speaking her piece, everybody on that episode of
Speaker 2: SmackDown just kept saying what to her as if she
Speaker 2: wasn't speaking English and as if they couldn't understand her
Speaker 2: whatever due to her accent. But my thing is I
Speaker 2: could understand everything she was saying. And it seems very
Speaker 2: clear to me that she as a level of focus
Speaker 2: that you know, no one's really like fed into her before.
Speaker 2: And it's just really cool to see her rise into
Speaker 2: this occasion of facing off against, you know, a four
Speaker 2: horse woman like Bailey. And Bailey has been a great
Speaker 2: champion so far, but as far as facing someone that's
Speaker 2: been really imposing, she hasn't done that yet. And so
Speaker 2: and Piper is definitely one of those girls who has
Speaker 2: a lot to prove in terms of her athleticism, and
Speaker 2: seeing as the first time I saw Piper Niven it
Speaker 2: was in the may On Classic. She had so much
Speaker 2: to offer there and so much to give that I
Speaker 2: just couldn't wait to see, you know what, what would
Speaker 2: happen with her, And even in the kickoff show that
Speaker 2: they had this morning, they were talking about, you know,
Speaker 2: how she was trained in Scotland and how she was
Speaker 2: like a multi time champion in Scotland as well as
Speaker 2: you know, one of the pioneers of nxc UK. So
Speaker 2: I'm just really glad that they're leaning into all of
Speaker 2: this and that she more than just the girl who
Speaker 2: was just labeled as dewdrop and made to stand next
Speaker 2: to even Marie like. There's more to her and I'm
Speaker 2: glad that they're feeding into that now. But what I
Speaker 2: will say is this, I am predicting that Bailey will
Speaker 2: win somehow, she will win this match, and I'm also
Speaker 2: predicting that Chelsea Green might be responsible for the loss
Speaker 2: of Piper, which might cause a rift between them because
Speaker 2: something that I do notice that Chelsea keeps saying is
Speaker 2: this is going to be our title and our thing
Speaker 2: and My thing is, Chelsea. When one woman is a champion,
Speaker 2: one woman is a champion, and that's just gonna be it.
Speaker 2: You will not be the champion. This is not the
Speaker 2: two thousands where Michelle McCool and Laila split the Divas
Speaker 2: title and split the Women's championship in half and just
Speaker 2: decided to carry it around. That's not how this works.
Speaker 2: It's just going to be Piper's title. So I have
Speaker 2: this weird feeling that somehow another else's gonna, you know,
Speaker 2: get too happy with herself and cost Piper somehow, And
Speaker 2: it would be really sad if that's how it would
Speaker 2: happen in front of her people. But yeah, Bailey's retaining
Speaker 2: and she's gonna give her a good match, and they're
Speaker 2: gonna have a great match. But I feel like Chelsea's
Speaker 2: gonna cost Piper. And that's all of the predictions that
Speaker 2: I have for the women's matches, because sadly, there are
Speaker 2: just two women's matches because Live Morgan, miss ma'am, the
Speaker 2: women's World champion, does not have a match. Interestingly enough,
Speaker 2: but you know, she's only been champion for three weeks
Speaker 2: and I'm going to give it a little bit of
Speaker 2: the benefit of the doubt because she is in this
Speaker 2: crazy storyline where she's trying to take everything from rear Ripley,
Speaker 2: including the judgment day and her boyfriend and all the above,
Speaker 2: which we will get into a little bit later. But
Speaker 2: she doesn't have a rival for the women's world titles,
Speaker 2: so it's like, now she's just sort of holding it,
Speaker 2: and I hope that it doesn't get to the point
Speaker 2: to where lives revenge and her being, you know, this
Speaker 2: highly flirtatious girl sort of gets in the way of
Speaker 2: her holding this title and she doesn't have an opportunity
Speaker 2: to defend it like she should. So yeah, Live does
Speaker 2: not have a match a clash of Clash at the Castle,
Speaker 2: but that's not to say that we probably won't see
Speaker 2: her somehow, but she does not have a match interestingly enough,
Speaker 2: But we're gonna move away from the predictions for the
Speaker 2: women and going to the predictions for the men. So
Speaker 2: we have sammy'sing Samster versus Chad Gable for the Intercontinental title,
Speaker 2: and of course this is all stemming from their ongoing
Speaker 2: feud with each other and stemming from the fact that
Speaker 2: Chad Gable is just being a very abusive coach in
Speaker 2: Alpha Academy and not being the coach that coached Sammy
Speaker 2: Zin to his victory at WrestleMania. He's just turned into
Speaker 2: this you know, sicko who just wants to just hurt
Speaker 2: people's feelings but then hide it in the name of
Speaker 2: him trying to make people better and all of that.
Speaker 2: And Sammy, of course, being the man that he is
Speaker 2: who loves to stand up for people, can't stand that.
Speaker 2: So he's just like, yeah, this is not okay. You
Speaker 2: don't need to abuse him like that. And if you
Speaker 2: really feel like, you know, I don't deserve this title,
Speaker 2: you can come and take it from me, and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna beat your butt. So Sammy Zain is fighting to
Speaker 2: keep his title, but he's also fighting to defend the
Speaker 2: honor of Otis, Maxine Dupree and Akira Tazawa, who are
Speaker 2: just the who are just taking the brunt of Chad
Speaker 2: Gables abuse constantly and you just hate to see it.
Speaker 2: And it's gotten so bad now to the point of
Speaker 2: where Chad will just move out of the way and
Speaker 2: manipulate Otis into you know, running into and beating up
Speaker 2: on Sammy, knowing full well that he's making him do this.
Speaker 2: So Otis can just be conflicting his feelings and keep
Speaker 2: him on his side, and it's just like really sad.
Speaker 2: But I'm predicting that Sammy is definitely going to retain
Speaker 2: the title, and I'm definitely predicting that Otis is finally
Speaker 2: going to stand up for himself and just tell Chad
Speaker 2: Gable no more, because this is like, enough is enough
Speaker 2: and it's time for a change. Hello there, This isn't
Speaker 2: gonna keep going on. So I just hope that Otis
Speaker 2: and the rest of Alpha Academy just stands up for
Speaker 2: themselves and gets a major, screaming standing ovation from them,
Speaker 2: and Chadd will learned his lesson, and yeah, Sammy's ain't
Speaker 2: will still be the Inner Continental Champion that we deserve.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Sammy's definitely winning this one, and Chad is
Speaker 2: gonna get his comeupance because you just can't abuse people
Speaker 2: and just expect to just keep getting away with it.
Speaker 2: You just can't. And then, of course I feel like
Speaker 2: I should have, you know, made this prediction last week
Speaker 2: because of the fact that Drew McIntyre is having a
Speaker 2: great homecoming at this point. He's even been inducted into
Speaker 2: the Scottish Hall of fame, which is a thing that
Speaker 2: I did not know existed until today. But I love
Speaker 2: how he's being inducted and loved on in his home country.
Speaker 2: So big ups to Drew McIntyre for having this beautiful,
Speaker 2: blessed moment in his in the country that raised him
Speaker 2: and made him and birthed him. Also, I hope I
Speaker 2: send hopes in prayers and healing vibes to his wife,
Speaker 2: because he did say on the kickoff show that his
Speaker 2: wife is having emergency surgery right now, So I'm sending
Speaker 2: good vibes to her, and I know it has to
Speaker 2: suck that she can't be there, but you know, I'm
Speaker 2: sure their love will maintain them. But you have his
Speaker 2: World Heavyweight title match against Damian Priest, and because Drew
Speaker 2: McIntyre beat Finn Balor, I believe on this past Monday
Speaker 2: on Raw Judgment Day, cannot interfere in the match. They're
Speaker 2: barred from ringside and all of the above. So it
Speaker 2: kind of looks like Drew McIntyre might have the upper
Speaker 2: hand here, not saying that Damian Priest isn't that guy
Speaker 2: and can't you know, perform to the best of his
Speaker 2: ability because he's a powerhouse in and of himself too.
Speaker 2: But this is really hard to predict because a part
Speaker 2: of me wants Damien Priest to hang on to it
Speaker 2: a little bit longer so he won't just be known
Speaker 2: as a guy who cashed in money in the bank
Speaker 2: at Russell May and only held it for like a
Speaker 2: little while. But then there's this other part of me
Speaker 2: that wants Drew McIntyre to have his moment that he
Speaker 2: probably should have had lash the last time there was
Speaker 2: clashed the Castle. It's really hard, but I think I'm
Speaker 2: going to predict that Drew McIntyre might win this match,
Speaker 2: but seem Punk might come and try to distract the
Speaker 2: moment from him, or take the moment from him and
Speaker 2: just distract him and make it seem like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: you have this title now, but I'm gonna come for
Speaker 2: you and take it from you and stuff like. I
Speaker 2: feel like a funny thing might happen where Drew might
Speaker 2: win the title and then see him Punk might come
Speaker 2: back and be like, I'm cleared, let's fight at SummerSlam.
Speaker 2: I feel like that could very well happen. But then
Speaker 2: you also have Damien and it's just like it's so
Speaker 2: hard because I don't want Damien to just lose it
Speaker 2: like that, but oh my god, it's really frustrating. But
Speaker 2: I want Drew to have his moment in the sun.
Speaker 2: So in the spirit of having a moment in the
Speaker 2: sun and your hometown, I'm gonna predict Drew McIntyre is
Speaker 2: gonna win, which will set the president for him and
Speaker 2: see him Punk fighting each other at SummerSlam or another
Speaker 2: bigger pay per view. So yeah, that's my prediction for that,
Speaker 2: Drew McIntyre. It's true. It's true. It's true. I'm sorry, Damien,
Speaker 2: I love you, I love you so much, but it's true.
Speaker 2: And now we have this prediction for Cody Rhodes and
Speaker 2: AJ Styles for the Undisputed ww Championship in an I
Speaker 2: quit match. I am thrilled about this match. I am
Speaker 2: absolutely excited about this match and the fact that it's
Speaker 2: happening because of course you got these two Georgia boys
Speaker 2: going up against each other for the second time, and
Speaker 2: then of course you have Cody who's angry at AJ
Speaker 2: Styles because, like he said on SmackDown tonight, he said, look,
Speaker 2: you literally had to pretend to that you were Mark
Speaker 2: Henry in order to get another chance at the title.
Speaker 2: As opposed to just asking me for it, and that
Speaker 2: gagged me. But what gagged me even further was when
Speaker 2: AJ was trying to cut a promo through Scotland, who
Speaker 2: just kept chanting and singing Cody Rose's name. He literally
Speaker 2: like cut through him, say it. Yeah, Well, when you
Speaker 2: don't get your way, you quit things, like when you
Speaker 2: left New Japan Pro Wrestling, or like when you left
Speaker 2: Ring of Honor. You even made a company with your
Speaker 2: friends and you quit that too, And I was like, God, damn,
Speaker 2: you did not have to go in the Juggali Jesus.
Speaker 2: They are just pulling all the punches now, like they're
Speaker 2: just saying any and everything and it's just crazy. But yeah, like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I'm really excited for this match. I'm
Speaker 2: pretty sure they're going to destroy each other, and I
Speaker 2: love how In the kickoff show, Michael Cole asked Cody, like,
Speaker 2: do you feel like like people sort of underestimate you
Speaker 2: because you know you haven't really You're not really want
Speaker 2: to get rough or get buck like that, even though
Speaker 2: that's that's I'm paraphrasing, but y'all forget Cody is the
Speaker 2: same man who wrestled in Hell in the Sale against
Speaker 2: Seth Rowland with a torn peck. Y'all are also forgetting
Speaker 2: that this is a man who used to bleed and
Speaker 2: just do all kinds of crazy stuff in aw like
Speaker 2: crashing himself through a burning table and so many other
Speaker 2: things like that. And also this is a man who
Speaker 2: chose the craziest punishment of facing off against brock Lesnar
Speaker 2: multiple times last year and did not give up once.
Speaker 2: So something that a lot of people don't really go
Speaker 2: into is the fact that Cody Rose really is like
Speaker 2: a dare devil of a man, Like he just gives
Speaker 2: no ebs. He's like a honey badger. He'll just go
Speaker 2: and do whatever and fight whoever because he just has
Speaker 2: like ice in his veins. He's just crazy like that,
Speaker 2: he doesn't care. So I believe that the version of
Speaker 2: that version of Cody Roads is will what will we
Speaker 2: are going to see tomorrow, the version of Cody Rose
Speaker 2: that can really take it to the age and take
Speaker 2: it to the extreme. Okay, So don't just think just
Speaker 2: because he comes out there in his suits, don't mean
Speaker 2: that he can't, you know, unbutton his cuff links and
Speaker 2: get it cracky. Okay. So I'm predicting Cody Rhoades is
Speaker 2: definitely gonna retain the title. AJ is gonna say I
Speaker 2: quit and we ain't gonna see him for a minute,
Speaker 2: and that's just all that's all there is to it, guys.
Speaker 2: So those are all of my predictions for Clash at
Speaker 2: the Castle in Scotland. Of course, it comes on at
Speaker 2: different times, but it comes on at twelve o'clock Central,
Speaker 2: I believe in Alabama, and then it comes on at
Speaker 2: one o'clock Eastern and all the other times and stuff,
Speaker 2: so you know, look that up. But I'm really excited
Speaker 2: about this. Of course, it's continuing the whole world in
Speaker 2: world wrestling entertainment thing. And I just love the crowd
Speaker 2: of Scotland because they were singing all the songs full power,
Speaker 2: which is the same way I do too, So it's
Speaker 2: really great. I'm really excited. So we're gonna move out
Speaker 2: of that special segment and go into what I liked
Speaker 2: in wrestling this week, which was a heck of a lot. Actually,
Speaker 2: it was a lot of stuff that I liked in
Speaker 2: wrestling this week, and I'm really excited to talk about it.
Speaker 2: But then there was also a lot of stuff that
Speaker 2: I didn't necessarily like in wrestling too, that I have
Speaker 2: to be honest about. So let me check the mic again,
Speaker 2: cause yeah, it's just crazy stuff. So Kilanie Jordan KVD
Speaker 2: Klanie Van Dam became the first ever NXT Women's North
Speaker 2: American Champion at Battleground Las Vegas. And I am especially
Speaker 2: proud of this happening because I predicted it. I predicted
Speaker 2: it last week. I just felt it in my bones.
Speaker 2: Something inside of me said, no, this is Colonie's time,
Speaker 2: and she really did win. So I am just so
Speaker 2: excited that she won the ladder match. It was an
Speaker 2: excellent ladder match. You know, all of the women did
Speaker 2: a phenomenal job. Soul Ruka had a bunch of moments
Speaker 2: where she hit like multiple soul snatchers on ladders and everything.
Speaker 2: Like the girls got smart and even threw lash Legend
Speaker 2: out on her behind in the match because she is
Speaker 2: the larger opponent. And it was just an amazing match
Speaker 2: all around. So I was really excited for the ladder match.
Speaker 2: And then of course me and Yem did a fantastic
Speaker 2: job because she is a veteran when it comes to
Speaker 2: these extreme type of matches, and I love Fallon Henley's outfit.
Speaker 2: I don't have a picture of it, but it was
Speaker 2: definitely giving Cowboy Carter vibes and I just really loved it.
Speaker 2: So it was just really cute. And I loved Lash's
Speaker 2: outfit too, because she had on blue gear, but then
Speaker 2: she also had on this amazing crown, so it was
Speaker 2: just really amazing. I enjoyed the entire match. It was great,
Speaker 2: and I was so happy that Kalidney Jordan won because it's,
Speaker 2: like I said on my predictions in the last episode,
Speaker 2: Kilannie had just been in so many bigger, you know,
Speaker 2: situations and these bigger matches where she would just fall short,
Speaker 2: and so the idea of her getting to this point
Speaker 2: and finally winning just meant a lot to me. I
Speaker 2: was so excited that this is this happened. And then,
Speaker 2: funny enough, I actually re shared a video of her,
Speaker 2: or at least a picture of her holding the title
Speaker 2: and on Instagram and I said I predicted it, yay,
Speaker 2: congratulations to her, and she actually said, you know, thank
Speaker 2: you for that and thank you for the support. And
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, that's so great. So
Speaker 2: I'm really happy that she saw that, and I'm happy that,
Speaker 2: you know, she felt supported by me in that moment,
Speaker 2: because something that did happen on social media was that
Speaker 2: a lot of people did not expect her to win
Speaker 2: at all. And I'm gonna get more into that a
Speaker 2: little bit later, but a lot of people did not
Speaker 2: expect for her to win, and they were expecting, oh, well,
Speaker 2: this favorite person should win or this person should win,
Speaker 2: and dah da da da. And usually when stuff doesn't
Speaker 2: go our way as wrestling fans, we do have a
Speaker 2: tendency to harp on it, be negative about it, or
Speaker 2: just take it over the edge and say all kinds
Speaker 2: of other unkind things, which was getting on my nerves.
Speaker 2: But whatever, her accomplishment is her accomplishment, and nobody can
Speaker 2: take that from her. She will always be the first
Speaker 2: and that's all that matters, So big ups to her.
Speaker 2: Another thing I liked in wrestling this week was the
Speaker 2: match between Jordan Grace and Roxanne Perez for the NXT
Speaker 2: Women's title. They tore the house down. It was definitely
Speaker 2: one of those matches that makes you proud to be
Speaker 2: a women's wrestling fan. It was very technically sound, it
Speaker 2: was power driven. Jordan Grace lost an ear ring she
Speaker 2: ripped like it was so bad, like she lost an earring,
Speaker 2: she ripped through her hole, she was bleeding. At first,
Speaker 2: it was just really creepy, but yeah, like these girls
Speaker 2: really tore it down. And then the ending, the ending
Speaker 2: bummed me out a little bit. I'm not gonna lie,
Speaker 2: because I really did think that Jordan Grayce had a
Speaker 2: legitimate chance to win the NXC Woman's title and become
Speaker 2: Jordan two Belts. But she gets interrupted by falling when
Speaker 2: I foul and I'm sorry. Tatum Paxley, who finds herself,
Speaker 2: you know, enamored with the TNA Knockouts title, and she starts,
Speaker 2: you know, trying to like stalk it or whatever. But
Speaker 2: then you see Ashby Elegance formerly known as Dana Brooke
Speaker 2: and Wwe running after her, you know, and trying to
Speaker 2: snatch the title away from her because I guess she's
Speaker 2: trying to go for it too. Jordan Grace didn't like that,
Speaker 2: and so that wound up distracting her and she wound
Speaker 2: up trying to like she hit her finish her. But
Speaker 2: then after she hit her finisher, Roxanne was able to
Speaker 2: counter it and turn it into a pop rocks in
Speaker 2: order to win and retain her title, and that bade
Speaker 2: me so saying because I really wanted Jordan to possibly
Speaker 2: win it. But Roxane did a great job defending that title,
Speaker 2: and I do recommend it. If you haven't watched that match,
Speaker 2: please go watch it because it is definitely the stuff
Speaker 2: that women's wrestling is made out of. So I definitely
Speaker 2: do recommend watching that match back. But of course Roxanne
Speaker 2: is still the champion, and she even cut like a
Speaker 2: really scathing promo on CM punk and she called him
Speaker 2: a hypocrite. And what's so funny is aj Mendez commented
Speaker 2: on on Instagram and she was just like, yeah, I
Speaker 2: went off on Dad and I was just like, oh
Speaker 2: my god. I love how they're just you know, owning
Speaker 2: the fact that they're just birthing wrestlers and adopting children,
Speaker 2: Like it's just so amazing. So it's funny and I
Speaker 2: liked it. But moving out of that into the men,
Speaker 2: you had Oba Femi who was defending his North American
Speaker 2: title against Wesley and Joe Coffee of Gallas, And when
Speaker 2: I tell you, this match sent me over the edge
Speaker 2: multiple times because of Oba Femi's strength. It sent me
Speaker 2: over the edge because there were so many times where
Speaker 2: this one man kept catching Wesley in mid air. Every
Speaker 2: time Wesley would try to hit one of his aerial maneuvers,
Speaker 2: he would just catch him like he was just nothing,
Speaker 2: like like like you just grabbing a bag or grabbing
Speaker 2: a ball, and he just caught him and just tossed
Speaker 2: him somewhere. He caught him again and tossed him somewhere else.
Speaker 2: I was just like, Oba, Oba, I'm gonna need you
Speaker 2: to calm down and stop throwing people. Stop it, like
Speaker 2: it was just out of hand. And then the fact
Speaker 2: that even in this picture alone, he hit like a
Speaker 2: double souplex on both of these men, and it was
Speaker 2: just like, excuse me, why are you this strong? It's
Speaker 2: almost like God God decided when he was creating him,
Speaker 2: and when he was creating Mark Henry and Bianca Bella
Speaker 2: or j car Gill, he just decided he was just
Speaker 2: gonna give them all like the descendant strength of Samson
Speaker 2: and decided to just throw them in wrestling so they
Speaker 2: could surprise us and all of it, and Obo of
Speaker 2: us just showing himself off completely, like when he says
Speaker 2: I am the mountain that you cannot climb, he meant it, okay,
Speaker 2: he really meant it. And It was so bad that
Speaker 2: Gallus even came out and had to jump him and
Speaker 2: that still didn't even work, and he was throwing them around.
Speaker 2: Obah Femi is just that dude, okay, and we're living
Speaker 2: in his world and I love it. I just love it.
Speaker 2: So big ups to Oba Femi for defending his titles successfully.
Speaker 2: Wesley and Joe did such an amazing job in this match,
Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, Oba is the man,
Speaker 2: and that's all I have to say about that. Like
Speaker 2: he was just crazy. His strength just is just so
Speaker 2: scary at times, but I love it. And then another
Speaker 2: funny part about xy Battleground was the fact that of
Speaker 2: course Sexy Red was hosting, and she was doing a
Speaker 2: pretty good job hosting, you know, kind of being a
Speaker 2: low key host, not like a host that just pops
Speaker 2: up for everything. You know, she would pop in every
Speaker 2: now and again. But there was this one part where
Speaker 2: Sexy Red and Lola Ice had a twerkin thing that
Speaker 2: they did find out about, I guess on the internet
Speaker 2: because a lot of y'all and even myself were saying,
Speaker 2: you know what, I low key want to see what
Speaker 2: would happen if they had a twork off because Lola
Speaker 2: loves to dance and loves to shake her hips and stuff,
Speaker 2: and of course Sexy Red loves dance, so they both
Speaker 2: got together and had a tworkof But what I wasn't
Speaker 2: expecting was Sexy Red making Sarah Schreiber's work like she
Speaker 2: was like, nah, you' finshed worked too, and it's Sarah
Speaker 2: looked really caught off guard by that, and I just
Speaker 2: thought that was the funniest thing ever. It was low key,
Speaker 2: like a scene from like an early two thousands film
Speaker 2: where this one white girl would be in a scene
Speaker 2: with all these black people and they would try to
Speaker 2: make her join the fun and dance with them, and
Speaker 2: she just doesn't know what to do. That's what that
Speaker 2: fl like. It was really funny. I just could not
Speaker 2: get over how funny that was. And I hope that Sarah,
Speaker 2: you know, had a good time doing that, and because
Speaker 2: I really had a good time watching that take place.
Speaker 2: So that was just really funny. So that was really
Speaker 2: all I liked from Battleground. And of course, there's still
Speaker 2: so much more to talk about in wrestling this week,
Speaker 2: So when it comes to raw, we're still living living
Speaker 2: in a timeline of dmail and Time Live And that's
Speaker 2: my new nickname for her is Demon Time Live, because
Speaker 2: she took it to a whole new level this Monday
Speaker 2: when she decided to pop up in the Judgment Day
Speaker 2: clubhouse with her legs crossed with a skirt on some
Speaker 2: high heels and some stock is, looking like she was
Speaker 2: finna get ready to get some action. And when she
Speaker 2: walked up to Dominica said, I can't believe that you
Speaker 2: have to deal with someone who makes you call her
Speaker 2: mommy when you should be with someone whould who could
Speaker 2: be calling you daddy. And I.
Speaker 3: Was just gad.
Speaker 2: I was like, excuse me, daddy. This is what we're doing.
Speaker 2: This is what we're doing. This is what we're doing.
Speaker 2: Like my brand probably crash landed a couple of times
Speaker 2: just off of the sheer fact that she said daddy
Speaker 2: like that, and I was just like, what are you serious?
Speaker 2: It was so funny because when this happened, and when
Speaker 2: the next moment happened that I'm about to discuss, it
Speaker 2: was like everything just shifted from this just being a
Speaker 2: wrestling show to just something completely different. And of course
Speaker 2: dominic was trying to fight her off, and she was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll go for now and all this other stuff, and
Speaker 2: I'm just like, Live girl, why It's just like, it's
Speaker 2: just so crazy. But what makes it even crazier was
Speaker 2: this happened during a match that was involving the LWO
Speaker 2: and the Judgment Day. Liv comes out there and inserts
Speaker 2: herself and then Zelina Vega it is still you know,
Speaker 2: she's still heated from the exchange they had on Twitter
Speaker 2: while also you know, being just heated and Live as
Speaker 2: a whole and just not liking any of this, and
Speaker 2: she starts beating up on Live and then she pushes
Speaker 2: Live over and Live somehow lands on Dominic and straddles
Speaker 2: him in a very very provocative pose as y'all can see,
Speaker 2: and Dominic is Loki looking like he likes it, but
Speaker 2: then Loki looking like scared that this is going on,
Speaker 2: and then he's even more perplexed because she gave him
Speaker 2: her hotel room key card and asked him to join
Speaker 2: him and her. His Judgment Day bros were like, no,
Speaker 2: that's not good, but then Carlita was like, no, that's cool,
Speaker 2: and it was just it was just the most funniest
Speaker 2: thing on the planet. But this is really looking like
Speaker 2: some Netflix and chill action right here, and I was
Speaker 2: just like, oh my god, they're really doing this here.
Speaker 2: And this was where my boyfriend texted me and said
Speaker 2: the PG era is dead. It really is dead, because
Speaker 2: I can only imagine how many parents had to look
Speaker 2: their child in the face after the child asked the
Speaker 2: mom dad, what was going on with Liv and Dom.
Speaker 2: I don't even know. I just think this is just
Speaker 2: hysterical and I just can't wait to see Live get
Speaker 2: the breaks beat off of her at this point, because
Speaker 2: it's just getting out of hand. It's just getting out
Speaker 2: of hand. But another part of it that's getting out
Speaker 2: of hand is the fact that Finn took the hotel
Speaker 2: room keys, So I'm just wondering what the heck is
Speaker 2: happening here. It's so did he go and meet Live
Speaker 2: and did they talk about things or did they rub
Speaker 2: up rub abs against each other? What's going on there?
Speaker 2: So it's just a lot. But this is just it's
Speaker 2: so missy. I love it. And also another thing that
Speaker 2: I want to just give a little bit of commotion
Speaker 2: to it's just how amazing Selena Vega looked. Of course,
Speaker 2: she went to the Puerto Rican Day Parade that was
Speaker 2: in New York with Damian priest and everything, and she
Speaker 2: wore pieces of her Puerto Rican gear that she wore
Speaker 2: a backlash last year. And then she came to raw
Speaker 2: and she came here with this purple hair in these
Speaker 2: hoops and this outfit, just looking like a goddess. And
Speaker 2: I just wanted to take some time out to just
Speaker 2: express how much I just love this woman and just
Speaker 2: how beautiful she is and just everything that she represents.
Speaker 2: She's just so amazing, and she just looked great here
Speaker 2: and it just made me and just looking at her
Speaker 2: abs just made me never want to eat another fry
Speaker 2: and just start all over again with myself. But other
Speaker 2: than that, she she just looked absolutely amazing here and
Speaker 2: I just wanted to just give a little bit of
Speaker 2: commotion here for how great she looked. And she is
Speaker 2: clear to compete, so for all we know, she could
Speaker 2: very well be next in line to challenge for the
Speaker 2: women's world title, or she could win something win like
Speaker 2: a qualifying match for money in the bank and finally
Speaker 2: win money in the bank, because she deserves to be
Speaker 2: miss money in the Bank, Miss Vega in the bank.
Speaker 2: So let's keep our fingers crossed. But either way, she
Speaker 2: looked beautiful on Monday, and I just had to just
Speaker 2: give a little bit of commotion for that. Now. Another
Speaker 2: thing that had some commotion on a very emotional tip
Speaker 2: was Samantha Irvin in her reaction to Riccochet getting attacked
Speaker 2: by Brown Breaker outside of the arena. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: Like after he got attacked, it was really sad. And
Speaker 2: then they and then after they came back from commercial,
Speaker 2: they showed footage of Samantha watching it happen and her
Speaker 2: just looking horrified and she ran to him and everything,
Speaker 2: and she was just like, I just want to go
Speaker 2: with you, and she was just crying and sobbing, and
Speaker 2: it was just so sad because I'm like, no, like,
Speaker 2: I don't want to see Samantha upset. Like the first
Speaker 2: time I saw Samantha upset, it was on the part
Speaker 2: of Logan Paul defeating Ricochet and cheating or whatever. But
Speaker 2: to see her crying like this made me just want
Speaker 2: to go to war. I was just like, no, you
Speaker 2: cannot make this angel cry. I wanted to make bron
Speaker 2: Breaker pay myself now, mind you, I can't fight, but
Speaker 2: damn it, I wanted to fight me because I was like,
Speaker 2: you're not gonna make Samantha, the Angel of our lives cry,
Speaker 2: You're just not gonna do it, okay. So I'm hoping
Speaker 2: that somehow or another there can be some vengeance on
Speaker 2: the part of Samantha and on the part of Ricochet,
Speaker 2: because that was just foul. So yeah, Samantha just tugged
Speaker 2: at my heart strings with her crying, and I was
Speaker 2: just like, no, no, And then you have all the
Speaker 2: rumors saying that this was how Ricochet was getting written
Speaker 2: off of television, and I'm just like, y'all, I don't know,
Speaker 2: but if this is the way he's gonna go, then
Speaker 2: this is really dramatic and crazy. But at the same time,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I just don't know. I just don't
Speaker 2: know how this is gonna work. But either way, this
Speaker 2: was very hard to watch and I don't want to
Speaker 2: see Samantha cry over again, and that's just how I
Speaker 2: feel about the situation. But in the absence of Samantha
Speaker 2: Irvin and her awesome re announcingness and I know that's
Speaker 2: not a word, we had Pat McAfee be a great
Speaker 2: team player like we know him to be when it
Speaker 2: comes to football and everything else, and step in to
Speaker 2: be the interim re announcer for the rest of the
Speaker 2: night because there wasn't much of the show left after
Speaker 2: that point, so he decided to re announce the last match,
Speaker 2: which was Drew McIntire versus Finn Balor. And even though
Speaker 2: he has been at the center of controversy as a
Speaker 2: flight when it comes to his off wrestling duties, this
Speaker 2: man consistently shows up as a crazy wrestling fan who
Speaker 2: just loves wrestling like all of us do, with such
Speaker 2: passion and fire. And he said, look, I'll step in
Speaker 2: if they need me to, and he grabbed the microphone,
Speaker 2: pushed his commentator headphones up and announced Drew McIntyre as
Speaker 2: a handsome bastard from Scotland. And then he announced Finn
Speaker 2: Balor as part of the bum Ass Judgment Day and
Speaker 2: what and he said that he has zero body fat
Speaker 2: on a two hundred and twenty five pound frame. And
Speaker 2: I was just like Pat McAfee sounds like me when
Speaker 2: I'm introducing guests on this show, Like whenever I'm introducing
Speaker 2: a guest on the Hardy Wrestling Podcast, I always talk
Speaker 2: about all of their accolades and all the ways in
Speaker 2: which they're awesome. And his ways was really comical and funny,
Speaker 2: to the point where if he ever decided to do again,
Speaker 2: I'd be open to it because it was just really
Speaker 2: funny and just goofy. And then you have Michael Cole saying,
Speaker 2: I don't think that's how it goes, and your voice
Speaker 2: was cracking a little bit, you know, just being the
Speaker 2: professional voice of WW he always is. But big ups
Speaker 2: to Pat McAfee for stepping in, okay, because sometimes because
Speaker 2: in life, you're just gonna have to step in sometimes
Speaker 2: on behalf of others, and I'm just glad that he
Speaker 2: did that. So yay Pat for stepping in and being
Speaker 2: the ring announcer that we needed at that point, because
Speaker 2: of course, you know, he's no Samantha, but there's only
Speaker 2: one Pat McAfee. So yeah. Another part about Raw that
Speaker 2: really tugged at my heartstrings here again was Otis talking about,
Speaker 2: you know, how this whole thing with Alpha Academy has
Speaker 2: him messed up, but you know, Alpha Academy is his family.
Speaker 2: And when he was, you know, talking to Sammy zaying
Speaker 2: about what was going on, he was talking about a
Speaker 2: lot of the things that he's lost over the years,
Speaker 2: like his brother, he said, his best friend and his
Speaker 2: brother Tucky, who was Tucker from Heavy Machinery, because a
Speaker 2: lot of people may or may not remember, he was
Speaker 2: a part of that tag team for a while and
Speaker 2: they were even and you know, they were in NXT
Speaker 2: and then they were on SmackDown and they wound up,
Speaker 2: you know, breaking up, and then Tucker got released and
Speaker 2: we never really saw much of him again, so Otis
Speaker 2: was on his own. And then he mentioned that he
Speaker 2: lost his peach, which was Mandy Rose, and that really
Speaker 2: tugged in my heart strings because that was one of
Speaker 2: my favorite love stories in twenty twenty when the Hearty
Speaker 2: Wrestling podcast got started, Like that was one of my
Speaker 2: favorite things that was happening in wrestling at that time,
Speaker 2: was a love story between him and Mandy and how
Speaker 2: he was fighting with Nick Nemuth formerly known as Dolph
Speaker 2: Ziggler for her affection, and I was just like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, it was just my favorite thing. So the
Speaker 2: fact that he mentioned that, you know, in having lost
Speaker 2: that is along with losing the money in the bank briefcase,
Speaker 2: like when you think about everything that Otis has lost
Speaker 2: up until this point, it does kind of make you
Speaker 2: say it like dang, like Otis really had had really
Speaker 2: had a tough break, but when he found Alpha Academy,
Speaker 2: he felt like, you know, he really found his folks.
Speaker 2: So imagine, you know, you find your family and then
Speaker 2: you know, it turns out that your family isn't even
Speaker 2: a safe space anymore. Because Chad is just turned into
Speaker 2: this ogre of a man. It's just horrible. You just
Speaker 2: hate to see it. But this is why I'm hoping
Speaker 2: that he does stand up for himself on tomorrow. Like
Speaker 2: I mentioned, so, yeah, big ups to Otis for being
Speaker 2: vulnerable with Sammy's ain there, because that was just very
Speaker 2: It was just really heartfelt. And there's a part of
Speaker 2: me that does wish that they would re sign Mandy
Speaker 2: Sacks so they can continue that storyline because Jesus they
Speaker 2: deserve better. But yeah, oh I'm such a romantic. I
Speaker 2: just finished Bridgerton. Whatever, let me just chill. So when
Speaker 2: it comes to what I liked in wrestling in NXT,
Speaker 2: I love that Kilane started the show and that she
Speaker 2: addressed the people as of course the first ever NXC
Speaker 2: Women's North American champion, and you can tell she was
Speaker 2: very excited. But then also Loki kind of nervous too
Speaker 2: because as the crowd was chanting you deserve it. You know,
Speaker 2: she was just talking and she was going really fast
Speaker 2: and a lot of people were coming down on her
Speaker 2: floor and and everything. But my thing is, hey, champions
Speaker 2: rise to the occasion, and she has a champion's heart,
Speaker 2: so as long as she keeps going in that way,
Speaker 2: she will always, you know, evolve in a great way.
Speaker 2: So I was just really happy for her in this
Speaker 2: moment and just basking in the after glow of winning
Speaker 2: this title because that's a huge deal, you know, for
Speaker 2: someone who only just started wrestling two years ago. And
Speaker 2: even on Twitter after she won, Bigie shared a story
Speaker 2: of saying that he was there for her WW tryout
Speaker 2: so to see how far she's coming just two years
Speaker 2: and now seeing her be a champion, you know, it's
Speaker 2: just amazing. So it's just really great. And then you
Speaker 2: have Jada Parker coming out there to interrupt her and
Speaker 2: basically discredit her winning the title in the ladder match
Speaker 2: by saying, the only thing you proved on Sunday was
Speaker 2: that you could scurry up the ladder like a damn squirrel.
Speaker 2: And I was just like, Jada, why you gotta be
Speaker 2: so mean? Jada is just like Oh my god, she's
Speaker 2: just so lethal with her tongue on the microphone. Lord, Like,
Speaker 2: she's just so rough. But then she gets interrupted by
Speaker 2: me Chen you know who on her because they have
Speaker 2: their beef going on, and that led into their match,
Speaker 2: and their match was pretty good, and the funniest part
Speaker 2: about their match was the fact that Mia actually got
Speaker 2: a pin on her while also slapping her in her
Speaker 2: booty for the second time. And what's so funny is
Speaker 2: that she tried to cheat, but then the OC had
Speaker 2: MIA's back and took the chair from her and everything,
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, dang, Jada, you're just going out
Speaker 2: like that. But Jada now wants to take it to
Speaker 2: the extreme with Mia, so I'm just wondering how that's
Speaker 2: gonna work. But I am excited, and I was excited
Speaker 2: with that first segment. But the thing that irritated me
Speaker 2: the most when it came to Killanne winning the title
Speaker 2: was the fact that there were so many people who
Speaker 2: just did not expect her to win. That there were
Speaker 2: just so many so many folks on social media saying, oh, well,
Speaker 2: she doesn't deserve it, and well they're just doing this
Speaker 2: because you know she's this, or because she's Carmelo's girlfriend.
Speaker 2: And I even saw one person say that they're just
Speaker 2: copying and pasting Carmelo's career and putting it on hers,
Speaker 2: and Carmelo took of fens to it, because if you
Speaker 2: may or may not know, Klinie Jordan and Carmelo Hayes
Speaker 2: are an item. They're in a relationship. And the fact
Speaker 2: that someone I think it's absolutely lazy, and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: make the screen big so y'all can see my face
Speaker 2: when I say this. I think it's absolutely lazy when
Speaker 2: somebody attributes the success of a woman to who they're
Speaker 2: dating or who they're married to. That is the laziest
Speaker 2: crap I have ever heard and ever seen in my life.
Speaker 2: Like to just say, oh, well, they have to be
Speaker 2: banging somebody to do this, or they have to be
Speaker 2: having sex with this person to do this, and all
Speaker 2: this other stuff. I hate that because a woman can
Speaker 2: have her individual goals and dreams without having a man
Speaker 2: attached to them. And the idea that someone would say, oh,
Speaker 2: they're just copying and pasting Carmelo's career onto Kilane, it's
Speaker 2: just backwards as f And then it's stupid because, first
Speaker 2: of all, when Carmelo was North American Champion, the women's
Speaker 2: North American Championship didn't even exist, So you bitches, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I just curse. I'm so sorry. Y'all are reaching. You
Speaker 2: guys are reaching, And it is just so stupid how
Speaker 2: much people will just reach for things just to discredit
Speaker 2: a person winning just because what you wanted another person
Speaker 2: to win. Okay, yeah, people's teams and people's favorite people
Speaker 2: don't win stuff all the time, but that doesn't mean
Speaker 2: that you have to outright discredit the work that another
Speaker 2: person does to earn an opportunity either do better. It's
Speaker 2: just really gross, Like I just really hate it, Like
Speaker 2: it's just so stupid. Like Kilanie winning has nothing to
Speaker 2: do with Carmelo. Kolanie winning has to do with Kilanie.
Speaker 2: And if you've seen her growth, and if you've seen
Speaker 2: the way she wrestles, and if you've seen the way
Speaker 2: you know her athleticism plays into it, with her gymnastics
Speaker 2: background and everything, you would understand why this opportunity is
Speaker 2: for her solely. And and if you are a person
Speaker 2: that attributes any woman's success to who she's attached to
Speaker 2: or who she's dating, then you really just need to
Speaker 2: check yourself and understand that women are their own people,
Speaker 2: and we succeed whether a man or a significant others
Speaker 2: in the picture or not. Sometimes we succeed even more
Speaker 2: when there isn't one in the picture. Everything we do
Speaker 2: is not about men. It's just not Find something else
Speaker 2: to talk about, and stop trying to discredit people when
Speaker 2: they win an opportunity or when they get an opportunity
Speaker 2: for themselves, like it's gross. Find something to do, accomplish
Speaker 2: something yourself, but don't do that. Let me let me
Speaker 2: back off because I'll get I'll get, you know, even
Speaker 2: more passionate. But Kilani deserves this and that's all I
Speaker 2: have to say. And I think it's cool that me
Speaker 2: and m is now you know, her next challenger that's
Speaker 2: going to be amazing, So I'm here for that as well.
Speaker 2: So let's just move on. Yeah, Jada Parker is also
Speaker 2: running OTM, and I will not hear anything else of it.
Speaker 2: She is definitely out here running OTM now that scripts
Speaker 2: is gone. She was telling the boys what to do
Speaker 2: and what she was going to do when it came
Speaker 2: to me am, So mss ma'am is definitely the mouthpiece
Speaker 2: of OTM at this point, and I'm here for it.
Speaker 2: So it's crazy, but I love the attitude. I love it.
Speaker 2: And then you have Fia Hill gathering Chase you. That
Speaker 2: was really hilarious as well, Like she really just had
Speaker 2: to get all of them together because Riley Osborne keeps
Speaker 2: fussing with Ridge Holland and just telling him all the
Speaker 2: ways in which we can't trust him and all the
Speaker 2: stuff he's done wrong. But thea Hal really just had
Speaker 2: to clear everybody real quick and just let everybody know, like, look,
Speaker 2: ain't nobody and Chase you perfect at all. So as
Speaker 2: long as we all know that, then we can move
Speaker 2: on and give each other a chance. And I just
Speaker 2: thought that was really cool the way that she put it.
Speaker 2: It was very passionate, and she just cleared everybody and
Speaker 2: just let everybody know, like, look, you did this, you
Speaker 2: did this, and you did that. Riley, at one point,
Speaker 2: you know you were losing things. Ridge at one point,
Speaker 2: everybody thought that you were gonna stab Andrea in the back.
Speaker 2: Andre Chase, Professor Chase, you gamble the money away for
Speaker 2: the university and all of that other stuff. She just
Speaker 2: cleared everybody, and it was funny and I just want
Speaker 2: thea Hill to just get everything, cause she is just
Speaker 2: so awesome. So this was amazing. And then you had
Speaker 2: Wendy Chew coming back as a sleep paralysis demon. I
Speaker 2: was not expecting this at all, but I love it.
Speaker 2: The darker makeup and everything is just really amazing. And
Speaker 2: I just love her versatility because a lot of people
Speaker 2: don't know that. Before Wendy Chew became the Sleeper, the
Speaker 2: sleepover girl that a lot of people you know know
Speaker 2: her for from NXC two point zero, she was a
Speaker 2: part of that faction that had Zia Lee and another
Speaker 2: member of it whose name I can't recall right now,
Speaker 2: and she was sort of like this dark figure at
Speaker 2: one point before she shifted over to Wendy Chew. And
Speaker 2: now we're shifting back into like a darker version of
Speaker 2: Wendy Chew. And I like that a lot, Like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, she had been sleeping for so long and
Speaker 2: now she's awake, but she's coming for you, and I
Speaker 2: like it. I really like it. It's really different. It's
Speaker 2: low key giving. It's giving sleep paralysis puppet, even though
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it's not really giving a puppet, but
Speaker 2: it does look kind of like that, but I like it.
Speaker 2: I like it a lot, and I'm very intrigued. And
Speaker 2: Brinley Reese she's just gonna have to go back to
Speaker 2: the drawing board because the way she lost to her
Speaker 2: was just like, yo, dang, that's just unfortunate. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm here for sleep paralysis Wendy Chew. And another part
Speaker 2: of NXC that I really loved was the fact that
Speaker 2: once when Cody Rose paid a visit to NXT, he
Speaker 2: had his moment with Trick Williams, which I will talk
Speaker 2: about in a little bit, but then he also gave
Speaker 2: his old face mask from his undashing days to j C. Jane,
Speaker 2: who hasn't been feeling really dashing herself. You know, she
Speaker 2: had her nose broken, so now she's walking around with
Speaker 2: the mask. But Cody Rose ran into her and Jazminicks
Speaker 2: in the back and he gave her the mask. And
Speaker 2: this really blew my mind because I never thought I
Speaker 2: would ever see this mask again, because if you were
Speaker 2: watching wrestling, like in the two thousand tens and the
Speaker 2: early twenty tens, when Cody was dashing Cody Rhoads but
Speaker 2: then he had his face broken by Ray Mysterio hitting
Speaker 2: a six one nine on him and his face was
Speaker 2: broken and he was like, oh no, look at me.
Speaker 2: I'm ugly. I'm ugly. I'm ugly. I'm not dashing anymore.
Speaker 2: And he would make people put on paper bags on
Speaker 2: their heads. This was for us, This was for us,
Speaker 2: and I just could not believe this. I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, oh my god. He brought this back
Speaker 2: and gave it to j C. This made me speak.
Speaker 2: I was so speechless. And it also made me feel
Speaker 2: kind of old because I remember when Cody Wrote was
Speaker 2: getting his revenge on Raymisterio. It was at WrestleMania twenty
Speaker 2: seven and it was in Atlanta, and that was the
Speaker 2: first WRESTLEMANI I ever went to. And they fought each
Speaker 2: other and Cody Rose wound up winning, and I was
Speaker 2: upset about it because I wanted Raymondstereo to win because
Speaker 2: he was dressed up like Captain America. I didn't even
Speaker 2: know who Captain America was back then, but the fact
Speaker 2: that he dressed up like him, I was excited about it.
Speaker 2: I wanted him to win so bad. And then of
Speaker 2: course you had Michael Cole, who was being super super
Speaker 2: super biased towards the heels at that point, and he
Speaker 2: was just like, Cody Rose needs to win and he's
Speaker 2: better than Raymondsterio and all this other stuff. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: to be a wrestling fan in twenty eleven, it was
Speaker 2: funny as heck. But you know, I was seventeen then
Speaker 2: and it was just insane and oh my god, I'm thirty.
Speaker 2: What the heck is happening to time? But yeah, just
Speaker 2: the fact that Cody gave the Master to her was
Speaker 2: just so cute. It was really cute, and it healed
Speaker 2: a piece of my wrestling childhood soul that lives forever.
Speaker 2: So that was a and I appreciated that. Then we
Speaker 2: get to this the polarizing Trick Williams promo with Cody Rhodes. Now,
Speaker 2: something that I will say is that I did find
Speaker 2: it poignant that Cody Rose decided to pay NXT a
Speaker 2: visit on the anniversary of his father's passing. It has
Speaker 2: now been nine years since his father passed away as
Speaker 2: of this past Tuesday, and Dusty Rose was definitely, you know,
Speaker 2: a big part of why NX is the way it
Speaker 2: is now with its students and everything that he was
Speaker 2: able to teach them and everything, like he really fed
Speaker 2: into the next Generation, and so you know, I found
Speaker 2: it very poignant that Cody would pay them a visit.
Speaker 2: And before the show started, he was outside, you know,
Speaker 2: with the fans, hobnobbing with them, giving them high fives,
Speaker 2: yelling at them, and one of the fans even you know,
Speaker 2: told him that, you know, he was welcome to the
Speaker 2: cookout and everything, and you know, he was really happy
Speaker 2: about that. Cody really appreciated that. But you know, let's
Speaker 2: get to the TV part. So Cody cuts a little
Speaker 2: bit of a promo on AJ Styles. He talks about
Speaker 2: NXT and everything. But then you have Trick Williams, the
Speaker 2: NXT champion, coming out here to sort of share his
Speaker 2: piece on everything that's going on. And the thing that
Speaker 2: I did like about this promo before we got to
Speaker 2: the cookout stuff, was him talking about making it to
Speaker 2: the top of the mountain and how a lot of
Speaker 2: people doubted them both. And what I found most poignant
Speaker 2: about this was the fact that people, you know, did
Speaker 2: doubt them on their way to the championships that they
Speaker 2: currently hold, but they're still doubting them now, and I
Speaker 2: think that's why the promo sort of hit me in
Speaker 2: a very a different way. The way that Trick, you know,
Speaker 2: said that you know, what do you do when you
Speaker 2: get to the top of the mountain? You know, and
Speaker 2: you know, how do you stay there? And I just
Speaker 2: found it very poignant that that happened because it feels
Speaker 2: like on my side of things, whenever I'm looking at
Speaker 2: social media and seeing the things that people say about
Speaker 2: Trick and the things that people say about Cody, it's
Speaker 2: almost like, once you get to the top, people find
Speaker 2: about ten thousand different reasons why you don't belong there,
Speaker 2: and they do because they clearly worked for it, except
Speaker 2: of course it's a little bit different because their journeys
Speaker 2: are different. Because of course, Trick Williams found a new
Speaker 2: calling for himself when football didn't necessarily work out, whereas
Speaker 2: wrestling is in Cody's blood, and in order to prove
Speaker 2: that he could be a top guy, he had to
Speaker 2: like leave a comfortable place and create moments for himself
Speaker 2: and change the game in order to get to this point.
Speaker 2: So why are there so many people saying all the
Speaker 2: time that they don't deserve to be where they deserve
Speaker 2: to be? So that's the part I really liked about
Speaker 2: that promo. However, it went completely left when Trick asked
Speaker 2: Cody Rhodes, with the fourth of July coming up, are
Speaker 2: you going to the cookout? And Cody looked at him
Speaker 2: like what it was funny? And I laughed about it
Speaker 2: because a part of me was just, you know, just
Speaker 2: laughing about it because I know where that discourse comes from,
Speaker 2: because there's just the constant connection that Cody Rose has
Speaker 2: with the black community, and then it's also stemming from
Speaker 2: jokes and stuff. So I understand what Trick was saying,
Speaker 2: and you know how he was being funny, and then
Speaker 2: it made the entire NX, or at least the black
Speaker 2: chunk of the NX that was there, pop up and
Speaker 2: just scream and everything. And he said he would be there,
Speaker 2: and they gave each other a DAP and that was all.
Speaker 2: And it was just funny. But because I know the
Speaker 2: black wrestling community, I stayed off of social media for
Speaker 2: a minute because I know it was just gonna cause ah,
Speaker 2: you know, And in the moment, I thought it was funny.
Speaker 2: But then when I really thought about it, I was
Speaker 2: just like, this is going to cause some chaos. And
Speaker 2: I understand why as a black person. I do understand why,
Speaker 2: because there have been so many times where we'll say, oh, well,
Speaker 2: this respective white person can come and be a part
Speaker 2: of the cookout because they do something cool that you
Speaker 2: can attach to blackness, that you can attach directly to blackness,
Speaker 2: and we'll be like, oh, well, they're cool. They can
Speaker 2: come to the cookout, or they can come to the cookout.
Speaker 2: And it's almost now gotten to the point to where
Speaker 2: we can invite people to cook out.
Speaker 3: But then.
Speaker 2: It's sort of blown up in our faces a bit
Speaker 2: where they were. White people have a tendency to take
Speaker 2: from Black culture and then use it for their own
Speaker 2: benefit and then sort of bastardize it to a degree
Speaker 2: and just discard it when it no longer suits them.
Speaker 2: And you know, they don't really care about the people
Speaker 2: and why we created these things, or why we have
Speaker 2: the way we speak and why we have the way
Speaker 2: we do this and stuff. And it can get really
Speaker 2: exhausting sometimes when you see so many pieces of who
Speaker 2: you are as a black person getting taken away or
Speaker 2: getting you know, commodified, and all of the above, and
Speaker 2: it's exhausting. It can get really exhausting. So I definitely
Speaker 2: understand how a lot of these people felt, you know,
Speaker 2: how a lot of the members of the black wrestling
Speaker 2: community felt when this was put out here like this,
Speaker 2: And then on top of that, you have other people
Speaker 2: outside of the black wrestling community who just don't know
Speaker 2: exactly what the cookout is, and they're speaking on it
Speaker 2: as if they might get it, but then they really
Speaker 2: don't get it, and it's just kind of like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, y'all don't understand. Y'all don't understand it. And honestly,
Speaker 2: it's not really our job to really hold your hand
Speaker 2: through it as black people. Y'all just can google it
Speaker 2: like you do everything else, because we're not meant to
Speaker 2: just be your guide to black culture and black people,
Speaker 2: you know, if you want to ask, I mean, no, like,
Speaker 2: look it up please, cause we're not obligated to tell
Speaker 2: you all of our things because historically we've shared our
Speaker 2: things and you've taken it and just it's not been cute.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I understand a lot of people's feelings about
Speaker 2: the cookout thing, but I'm more than sure that you know,
Speaker 2: Trick didn't mean anything crazy by it, you know, and
Speaker 2: anything bad by it or whatever. But what I will
Speaker 2: say is this is that I really hope that with
Speaker 2: all of the authentic Black people and black characters that
Speaker 2: we are seeing in wrestling as a whole and not
Speaker 2: just in WWE. I'm hoping that they're not just using
Speaker 2: it as a bargaining tool or like or using it
Speaker 2: with backhanded intentions, as you know, to try to like
Speaker 2: feed off of the culture and then throw it away
Speaker 2: when it doesn't, when it's not useful for them anymore.
Speaker 2: Because we've because black people have gone through so much
Speaker 2: in this sport, and the fact that we've gone through
Speaker 2: so much and yet still you know, make moves and
Speaker 2: yet still accomplish so much. It would be a terrible
Speaker 2: shame if these companies are just doing this because they
Speaker 2: feel like it'll just get them a quick buck, or
Speaker 2: they feel like it would just you know, excite you know,
Speaker 2: a certain group of people and then bring them to
Speaker 2: them only to just not care about that audience anymore.
Speaker 2: I just hope that that's not what's going on here,
Speaker 2: Because on the one hand, you have you know, Cody
Speaker 2: being welcomed to the cookout, and you have Sexy Red
Speaker 2: being on NXT and Lil Wayne and all these other
Speaker 2: people popping up at your wrestling shows. But then on
Speaker 2: the one hand, you have your United States Champion Logan
Speaker 2: Paul popping up with an openly racist former president. Make
Speaker 2: it make sense. Make it make sense. I'm just saying.
Speaker 2: So moving away from that, I know it just did
Speaker 2: got dark for a second, but I just had to
Speaker 2: be real. Another thing that I did love about wrestling
Speaker 2: was this interaction that Cody had with his former AAW
Speaker 2: Associs in the back of the EDXC locker room and
Speaker 2: he told all of these people like, look, it looks
Speaker 2: like you guys are in a good place, and he
Speaker 2: walked away from him. And this was satisfying. This was
Speaker 2: just very satisfying and funny and clever in a way
Speaker 2: that I just say, oh my god, y'all think y'all cute,
Speaker 2: And I just had to move on from it. But
Speaker 2: it was just really funny. I enjoyed it. I just
Speaker 2: think it's really great. And also, let me just say
Speaker 2: that in the segment with Trick Williams, Cody did also
Speaker 2: mention that Trick's next challenger will be determined in a
Speaker 2: Battle Royal this coming Tuesday, and that they might come
Speaker 2: from different locker rooms. So it looks like the Men's
Speaker 2: Division and NXC is gonna get a little bit of
Speaker 2: the excitement that the women's division got when Jordan Grace
Speaker 2: came and challenged Rock sand So I'm really excited to
Speaker 2: see who it could be. And a lot of people
Speaker 2: are speculating that it could be a certain person that
Speaker 2: wrestling fans believe in. Is it Joe Hendry? I hope
Speaker 2: it is, but we just gotta wait and see. But yes,
Speaker 2: it's this segment with all of the former AAW people,
Speaker 2: which just really funny and really cute and clever. So yeah,
Speaker 2: and then of course you have the new faces of
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four NIL class. I really like this
Speaker 2: part here simply because two of the people who are
Speaker 2: highlighted in the NIL class are Darcy Khan, who runs
Speaker 2: track for Howard University, and I do believe as it
Speaker 2: stands now, she is the first and only person who
Speaker 2: is I'm an HBCU to become a part of the
Speaker 2: of an NIL class, So congratulations to her for that.
Speaker 2: And we have Abby Jacobs, who plays soccer for the
Speaker 2: University of South Alabama, so big ups to US Alabama.
Speaker 2: Let's go. Even though she's from Florida, but she goes
Speaker 2: to school at South Alabama, so that was really cool.
Speaker 2: So big ups to the nil class, but definitely big
Speaker 2: ups to those two women. And I can't wait to
Speaker 2: see what they have to offer once take it acclimented
Speaker 2: to all their wrestling training and all of the stuff,
Speaker 2: and I can't wait to see who they become. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be cool. And also, let's stop bullying Vic Joseph.
Speaker 2: Something that's been happening over the past few weeks is
Speaker 2: that folks have been bullying Vic Joseph, calling him a
Speaker 2: snitch and doing all this other stuff just because he's
Speaker 2: doing his job. And then you have Booker t who,
Speaker 2: of course, you know, finds all sorts of reasons to
Speaker 2: argue with him a whole lot. And I'm just like,
Speaker 2: look live Big Joe, be Vic Joseph and let him
Speaker 2: do his job, because as quiet as it's kept, he
Speaker 2: really is like one of the people who could very
Speaker 2: well like take over when Michael Cole decides to hang
Speaker 2: it up, like and you know, when Michael Cole decides
Speaker 2: to retire, And mind you, you know, I'm not rushing
Speaker 2: that by any means. You gonna have Corey Graves there,
Speaker 2: but then you gonna also have Vic Joseph there. And
Speaker 2: I feel like even though everybody makes funny him and
Speaker 2: stuff like that because it's funny. I feel like he
Speaker 2: just deserves more respect because some of the calls he'd
Speaker 2: be making be on point, even though sometimes he just
Speaker 2: be real goofy with some of the stuff that he says,
Speaker 2: like especially when the crossover stuff happens. I mean, he's
Speaker 2: smart about everything. He knows everything about this business, so
Speaker 2: I really feel like he deserves more respect. So this
Speaker 2: is just me talking about I guess how much I
Speaker 2: love Vic Joseph and how I just feel like we
Speaker 2: should just respect him and give him his flowers more
Speaker 2: because he really is a great play by play commentator
Speaker 2: and maybe one day, who knows, I might commentate with
Speaker 2: him and give him, you know, some fun maybe one day.
Speaker 2: But yeah, let's show love to Vic Joseph Moore and
Speaker 2: just stop you know, giving him such a hard time
Speaker 2: for being a journalist. So when it comes to what
Speaker 2: I liked in wrestling in aw Dynamite, I really love
Speaker 2: the match between Mercedes Monet and Zixes for the TBS title.
Speaker 2: Of course, Mercedes Monet won the match, but as it
Speaker 2: turns out, you know, this was a very physical matchup.
Speaker 2: As you can see if you're not really familiar with Zikexe,
Speaker 2: she's one half of the CMLL Women's Tag Team Champions
Speaker 2: I believe, with Stephanie Vecor who is also the new
Speaker 2: Japan Strong Women's title, who has faced Mercedes Monet before,
Speaker 2: and then they're going to fight each other at Forbidden
Speaker 2: Door in a couple of weeks. So this match was
Speaker 2: really good. Zikees has clearly, you know, evolved a whole
Speaker 2: lot more sins the last time I saw her wrestle,
Speaker 2: which was in the May Young Classic. So yeah, this
Speaker 2: match was really good. I enjoyed it. You know, to
Speaker 2: get a match like this on free television, it's just
Speaker 2: pretty insane, but I loved it. It was really good.
Speaker 2: It was very hard hitting and technically sound. And of
Speaker 2: course Mercedes is out here proving why she's the CEO
Speaker 2: and the greatest women's wrestler of all time, so big
Speaker 2: ups to her for that. And also, if you haven't
Speaker 2: had a chance to subscribe or sign up for her
Speaker 2: Monette newsletters, please do so because they're very inspirational and
Speaker 2: they might make you cry, but they're still very inspirational.
Speaker 2: And in speaking about what I liked on SmackDown, Jade
Speaker 2: and Bianca had a montage you know, feeding into their
Speaker 2: triple threat match at Clash the Castle tomorrow. But I
Speaker 2: just wanted to share this picture of them with so
Speaker 2: I'm at the Irvin and they shared this on social
Speaker 2: media saying that they were basically Mark Henry's Angels, And
Speaker 2: when I read that, I was just like, Bruh, why
Speaker 2: did the Charlie's Angels theme just start playing in my head?
Speaker 2: Because something that a lot of people don't know about
Speaker 2: me is that I did grow up watching reruns of
Speaker 2: Charlie's Angels, and I was a big stand of the
Speaker 2: movies when they came out. It's just something about women
Speaker 2: kicking behind that I've just loved from jump and just
Speaker 2: the idea that they said that and feeding into Mark
Speaker 2: Henry basically discovering all three of them. It's just a
Speaker 2: beautiful thing to notice. And I'm just so happy that
Speaker 2: they're here, you know, representing the greatness of what black
Speaker 2: women can be in this business. So they had a
Speaker 2: really cool montage feeding into their tag team title match,
Speaker 2: and their aura is just undeniable, and I'm just so
Speaker 2: happy to be living in a time where these women
Speaker 2: are champions to so yeah, and I just wanted to
Speaker 2: take some time to talk about a lot of fashion
Speaker 2: moments in SmackDown. I really loved Beefab's hair. Whoever does
Speaker 2: her braids does a phenomenal job, and I just love
Speaker 2: this red on her. It just brings out the beauty
Speaker 2: of her facial features and I just love her red hair.
Speaker 2: It's just really cute. I just wanted to take some
Speaker 2: time to just have some commotion for her hair and
Speaker 2: all of her fashion moments. Really, like, I always liked
Speaker 2: her style, and I always liked her fashion, and I
Speaker 2: liked the white braids when she had them, but when
Speaker 2: she switched over to the red, like that was really
Speaker 2: fresh and vibrant, and I just loved that. So I
Speaker 2: just wanted to take some time to show be Fab
Speaker 2: love because of her hair in this segment with the
Speaker 2: Street Prophets and Kevin Owens, it was just really great.
Speaker 2: And of course I have to give another moment to
Speaker 2: our Queen of the Ring, Naya Jackson, her beautiful natural hair.
Speaker 2: I love that she's wearing it more often, even though
Speaker 2: it might be really big and she can't necessarily wear
Speaker 2: like the crown to the Ring with it on, but
Speaker 2: her hair is her crown, and I just think that's amazing.
Speaker 2: And her natural hair, it's just really beautiful and I
Speaker 2: just love watching her wear it and it seems like
Speaker 2: she takes care of it really well. So yeah, this
Speaker 2: is just me kind of just going crazy about people's
Speaker 2: looks because I don't really talk about fashion all that
Speaker 2: all of that much on the show and hair that
Speaker 2: much on the show, but they really do be gagging
Speaker 2: me sometimes when it comes to the fashion, So I
Speaker 2: just had to talk about it. But I am still
Speaker 2: worried about me A M and her losing streak because
Speaker 2: Naya Jackson was coming out here to fight Mia from
Speaker 2: their brawl last week and Nya won this match in
Speaker 2: very dominant fashion, and I'm just tired of watching me
Speaker 2: and M lose. I just feel like me and M
Speaker 2: just deserves so much better than that, Like she just, yeah,
Speaker 2: Chelsea is horrifying. She just deserves so much better than that.
Speaker 2: Like for somebody as talented as she is, she just can't.
Speaker 2: I just want her to just have great opportunity. She
Speaker 2: just deserves to win a whole lot more than she does.
Speaker 2: So that's just how I feel about that. And Chelsea
Speaker 2: Green just continues to just blow my mind with her
Speaker 2: facial expressions and her acting skills, and she's just so
Speaker 2: hysterical to me. This is a facial expression that she
Speaker 2: made when Naomi kicked out of one of her maneuvers.
Speaker 2: It was just really funny. And I'm just like, Chelsea Girl,
Speaker 2: never change. Always give us face. Please, just always give
Speaker 2: us face. And I want to give a big ups
Speaker 2: here again to Samantha Irvin because her intro that she
Speaker 2: does for Chelsea Green has now been placed as a
Speaker 2: part of Chelsea's theme song. So at the beginning of
Speaker 2: Chelsea's theme song, it's no longer it's Chelsea, it's Chelsea
Speaker 2: Green the way that Samantha Irvin does it, and then
Speaker 2: it goes to Ohm hot miss Oh, and I'm just like, wow,
Speaker 2: I think it's really funny. So I think it's what's
Speaker 2: best to happen, considering Samantha isn't on SmackDown to do
Speaker 2: the entrance for Chelsea in that way anymore. She's on raw,
Speaker 2: So I think it's a good way to sort of
Speaker 2: keep it mixed in, keeping it mixed in with Chelsea Green,
Speaker 2: even though Samantha can't be there. So it's just really
Speaker 2: cool that that's what's happening with her. And here again,
Speaker 2: like I was saying in my Predictions, I love the
Speaker 2: back and forth that Cody and AJ were having in
Speaker 2: their promo with each other tonight, And I just don't
Speaker 2: understand how these men were able to keep a straight
Speaker 2: face as the people of Scotland kept channing Cody's name
Speaker 2: and they were able to just keep it going. And
Speaker 2: I just feel like these are just professionals. These are
Speaker 2: like greats in their field, because there is just no
Speaker 2: way I could be able to have this serious overcomnversation
Speaker 2: with all these people yelling. It's just really hard, and
Speaker 2: they were able to do that, and you could tell
Speaker 2: that there were times where AJ really did want to
Speaker 2: just tell him the hush, but he just didn't and
Speaker 2: he just kept going. And then another funny part of
Speaker 2: this whole promo was Cody Rhoads calling Carl Anderson and
Speaker 2: Luke Gallows Horace and Jasper. And for those who don't know,
Speaker 2: Horace and Jasper are the henchmen to Kuela Deville in
Speaker 2: one hundred and one Dalmatians. That gagged me so bad.
Speaker 2: And I'm saying here, like Cody Rhoads, what it so
Speaker 2: you've been watching Disney movies. You've been watching Disney movies
Speaker 2: at the house. You've been watching Disney movies at the house.
Speaker 2: This blessed me because I am a Disney girl. So
Speaker 2: the idea that he made reference to one and one
Speaker 2: down Mass just gag the miss out of me. I
Speaker 2: was just like, oh my god, Horace and Jasper, you
Speaker 2: just essentially called aj Styles Kuella Deville.
Speaker 1: Yo.
Speaker 2: That is just really insane to be But I just
Speaker 2: thought that was just really funny. But AJDD kind of
Speaker 2: cook him a little bit when he said, like, look,
Speaker 2: you have quit everywhere you have worked for, and it
Speaker 2: seems like when the going gets tough, Cody Rhodes gets going.
Speaker 2: And I was like, god dang, they were destroying each other.
Speaker 2: But then Cody turned it around and said, yeah, I
Speaker 2: do leave sometimes, but I leave because I'm always moving
Speaker 2: on to something better. And I was glad that he
Speaker 2: said that, because some folks you try to make it
Speaker 2: seem like just because you move from place to place,
Speaker 2: or you jump from job to job, that you're just
Speaker 2: out here just doing it just for the sake of
Speaker 2: doing it, or when things don't go your way. No,
Speaker 2: sometimes you do have to leave when it no longer
Speaker 2: serves you, Like, don't be blindly loyal until you run
Speaker 2: yourself into the ground. Okay, Like, leave Cody alone. His
Speaker 2: journey was his journey, So be quiet. It's okay. But yeah,
Speaker 2: their segment was fantastic, and I'll just never forget that
Speaker 2: Cody called them Horace and Jasper. He's been watching one
Speaker 2: hundred and one Dimensions at the house. And then of
Speaker 2: course you have Grayson Waller and his Grayson Waller Effect
Speaker 2: show with DIY as guests, and they came and talked
Speaker 2: a lot about hold on this second. They came and
Speaker 2: they were talking about how they were gonna hold on
Speaker 2: to the tag titles and how much better of a
Speaker 2: tag team they were than d IY. The most hilarious.
Speaker 3: Was that.
Speaker 2: Johnny Gargano took it upon himself to look Austin Theory
Speaker 2: in his face and tell him that Grayson Waller is
Speaker 2: literally just using him, and talked about how talented he
Speaker 2: always thought Austin Theory was and how he deserves so
Speaker 2: much better than that. And it's so funny because during
Speaker 2: the Grayson Waller Effect, DIY show up the footage of
Speaker 2: Grayson pulling excuse me Austin Theory in the way so
Speaker 2: he could get attacked in their match by Johnny Gargano,
Speaker 2: and then he did it again tonight, And I just
Speaker 2: cannot wait until Austin Theory and Grayson Waller breaks up
Speaker 2: because I don't know if Austin's gonna hit him first
Speaker 2: or if Grayson is going to do it first, But
Speaker 2: either way, I've been wanting to see a babyface Austin
Speaker 2: Theory for a while now because and I've been talking
Speaker 2: about it for like a while now on the show too,
Speaker 2: So if this is how we're going to get to it,
Speaker 2: and if it's gonna take them losing the tag titles
Speaker 2: to get to it, then so be it. Because Grayson
Speaker 2: Waller just can't keep bullying his man and acting like
Speaker 2: he can just do whatever, say whatever. We know like
Speaker 2: that's just not gonna work. So I just can't wait
Speaker 2: to see how this turns out. And I do hope
Speaker 2: that DIY does get another opportunity at those tag titles
Speaker 2: so they can win them, because they haven't won tag
Speaker 2: titles together since they were in NX Black and Gold,
Speaker 2: so I'm just gonna need for that to happen again
Speaker 2: for them one more time, and if it happens in
Speaker 2: Cleveland at SummerSlam, I love it, so that'll be great.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's all I liked in wrestling this week.
Speaker 2: And so now we're just gonna move into announcements. Like
Speaker 2: I've been saying. Next weekend, which is Juneteenth weekend, I
Speaker 2: will be at the first ever African American Comic Expo
