I hope you guys have had a 8 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.079 lovely weekend and were officially less than a month away 9 00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.960 from WrestleMania, and I have to say I am extremely excited. 10 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.840 It looks as though the card is shaping up nicely 11 00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.240 and as predicted, gonna bring it out early in the 12 00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.759 fold a triple threat match between c and Punk, Seth 13 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.039 Rollins and Roman Reigns, which will be pretty exciting nevertheless, 14 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.000 but again, I do feel as though, and like everyone's saying, 15 00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.680 there needs to be something that has to be attached 16 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.519 to this match. Hopefully Seam Punk's favor is revealed and 17 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:14.959 that kind of is the main stipulation of what the 18 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.879 match is going to be, whether the winner gets a 19 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.840 match into the Night two of WrestleMania, whether they move 20 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:23.319 this match to the. 21 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.519 Night one of the main event, or whether the winner. 22 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.079 Gets a title shot in the future against the winner 23 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.799 of Cody Rhodes and John Cena, but we'll have to 24 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.560 wait and see. But today we're going to be reviewing 25 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.319 the two matches that occurred on Main Event and a 26 00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.719 few of the snippets that happened across SmackDown and Raw 27 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.560 as of this week as well. 28 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.359 So really excited to get into it. 29 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.840 As mentioned the last two weeks, have started my own 30 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.719 podcast at the Huddle Within, so appreciate you guys checking 31 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.599 that out as well. It's available on wherever you get 32 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:55.680 your podcasts, Apple Spotify. 33 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:57.359 We also have also have a. 34 00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:59.799 YouTube channel as well that has the videos of this 35 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.959 of the Spotify episodes and the weekly episodes as well, 36 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:05.719 so feel free to check out that. 37 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:06.079 Again. 38 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.439 I'll try to leave a link in the description below, 39 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.560 but without further ado, I think we can get started 40 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.960 with the first match of Main Event, again hosted in Brussels, Belgium. 41 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.560 Just before the Raw show, we had Zoe Stark against Natalia, 42 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.520 and Zobe Stark got the victory here with a I 43 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.280 think it's a GC thirty finish out the name of 44 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.680 it's called not too Sure, but she defeats the Natalia 45 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.240 here in five minutes and five seconds in what was 46 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.439 a pretty routine match, not nothing too crazy going on. 47 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.039 The only thing that I found pretty funny was Natalia 48 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:45.000 doing the Sucker DX pose to Zoe Stark, which was 49 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.800 quite a surprise and it was cool to see. Yeah, 50 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.319 the Belgium crowd popping off and going quite nuts, which 51 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.680 I'll talk about later towards the end of the episode. 52 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.000 But again, yeah, the Belgium crowd really hot for a 53 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.680 main event, consider doing the match there, But yeah, Zoe 54 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.879 start getting the victory. Natalia failed the chance to go 55 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.080 three in a row. She won her last two matches 56 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.759 on main events, that failed to get her third victory 57 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.319 and doesn't really do much for the two of them. 58 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.159 If I'm honest, I think if Zoe Stark and shanea. 59 00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:19.360 Beza can fight for the tag team Champions, there might 60 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.879 be something that's worth But at the moment, there isn't 61 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:23.840 much room for them to do anything on Raw and 62 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.240 there's nothing that really catches my eye to see where 63 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.280 they can kind of fit into to WrestleMania. And again 64 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:36.280 Natalia also not really having any plans for her in 65 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:37.159 the future as well. 66 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:41.599 I did see something a few weeks back actually of 67 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.240 her talking about Maxine do Pre on a podcast and 68 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:48.400 saying that like something along the lines of her like 69 00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.520 respecting Maxine as a talent, but not really wanting to 70 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.639 work with her because she feels as though she can 71 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.879 do stuff that's more worth or like higher. But I 72 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.120 just kind of think that's pretty pretty weird because she 73 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.479 hasn't really done anything for a very very long time now, 74 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.240 and I think what better way to be a mentor 75 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:10.319 to someone like Maxine Dupris, who right now is just 76 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.280 the manager of the Alpha Academy hasn't really done much 77 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.680 in room work. It would be great to see them to. 78 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.560 Team up and kind of get her mentoring, because I 79 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.319 think Natalia is not going to do anything significant for 80 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:24.800 the remainder of her career. I think now she's at 81 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.560 the backhand and it's time for her to kind of 82 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.759 give back and put Superstars over. And I think the 83 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.240 stuff that she said about Maxine Dupris was probably harsh. 84 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:33.839 I don't know if you guys have seen it, but 85 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.959 I think it was quite harsh and doesn't really reflect 86 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.879 where she is positioned in the in the WW at 87 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.160 the moment, Like she's not gonna get a total match 88 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.480 anytime soon or do anything significant. So yeah, we're just 89 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.639 something interesting that I caught out, and her getting the 90 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:52.639 loss here doesn't motivate that either. There's no plans for her. 91 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.680 They're not obviously giving her momentum to move forward. So yeah, 92 00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.120 are lost there and Zobe start getting the victory. That 93 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.959 pretty much covers that match. We then move on to SmackDown. 94 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.959 It's quite old now, but we've seen Diy take on 95 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.680 the Street Profits back in Barcelona for the Tag Team Champions, 96 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:14.360 with the Street Profits. 97 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:15.040 Getting the victory. Here. 98 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:19.560 We saw Johnny Garga Gonna accidentally super kick to Marso Champa, 99 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.199 which gave Montas for the opportunity to perform his splash 100 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.519 and get the victory. There quite a surprise for them 101 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.160 to get the victory. But I think with the way 102 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.680 they've been coming out since the Elimination Chamber, with their 103 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:36.600 new look kind of something that's a bit different, and 104 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:38.480 I kind of like it too. They've got a bit 105 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.240 of an edge and an attitude towards them. They haven't 106 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.160 transferred fully to being heels, but you can say they're 107 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.360 not as nice as they were before. 108 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.680 So pretty serious and aggressive, which is. 109 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.079 Good to see, and I think that was shown in 110 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.920 this match, and also since they've come back and that 111 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.519 might have granted them the opportunity to win the Tag 112 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:04.279 Team champions here, Championships here, and yeah, a pretty solid 113 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.600 back and forth match. The crowd, we're really into it 114 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.800 and very happy to see, I guess a title change 115 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.800 here from the events that we saw at SmackDown. We 116 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.959 are going to see them defend the title against Pretty 117 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.879 Deadly in the UK, and I'm not going to be 118 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.759 surprised if I see Pretty Deadly win the titles the 119 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.199 way this is looking to be with the tag team division, 120 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.800 which mind you, has been really really good, really encapsulating 121 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.720 as well, with so many different teams getting involved. There 122 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.800 obviously is going to be a multi team match at WrestleMania, 123 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.680 so I wouldn't be surprised if Pretty Deadly win in 124 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:45.079 their home crowd in the UK against the Street Profits 125 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.439 with a bit of musical chairs for the title and 126 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:51.199 then ultimately awarding it to someone at WrestleMania. Most likely 127 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:53.839 will be probably the machine Guns if I'm honest, because 128 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.439 they haven't really been involved in any championship matches, but 129 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.120 it's safe to say that we're going to see a 130 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.199 multi team ladder match or some sort for the champion. 131 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.680 So far, we've got five teams. Maybe there might be 132 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:08.120 a six. 133 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.759 I don't know, but I think five teams are locked 134 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.600 in as well with Legarda del Fantasma and Berto is 135 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.959 looking a bit, in my opinion, a little bit Sussa 136 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.920 the Mam. He hasn't seem as aggressive as as Angel 137 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.560 and Santos esco Ba, and I feel like Santa bar 138 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:26.399 is going to be involved in the match so far. 139 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:28.319 And I don't know if you guys saw a few 140 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.759 weeks back, you might have missed it, but he was 141 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.959 talking with on Driday after a match, so maybe they 142 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:35.399 might team up as a six team. 143 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:35.839 I don't know. 144 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:37.519 That's just something that I'm going to throw out there. 145 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:42.399 But you've got Legata del Fantasma, sorry maybe with Angel 146 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.639 and Berto. Then you've got pretty deadly, You've got the 147 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.079 Murder City machine guns, and then you've got dry in 148 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:51.120 the Street Profits. So a really really strong tag team 149 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.759 storyline as well, lots of factors involved, perfect for a 150 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:59.399 WrestleMania Ladder match. But again, montes Ford and Angela Dawkins 151 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.000 the Street Profit are the current champions, and I don't 152 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.600 mind it one bit, they will have the chance to 153 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.759 defend their title. Continue this attitude, and if they are 154 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:10.560 able to run with this, then I don't see why 155 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:13.279 they would lose or drop the title. But again, I 156 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.519 just have a feeling that there's going to be a 157 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.839 bit of musical chairs when it comes to moving this 158 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.759 title around with pretty deadly getting the victory here. Could 159 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.879 be completely wrong, but I'm definitely certain that they're going 160 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.680 to do a multi tag team championship match at WrestleMania, 161 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.160 which will be extremely, extremely. 162 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:31.759 Exciting to see. 163 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.360 We then go to Monday Night Raw back to Raw, 164 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.440 with the main event of the show being Finnbala against 165 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:44.759 bron Breaker for the Intercontinental Championship. We see Dominique, Mysteriou 166 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:47.200 and car Leader getting up to their typical Judgment Day 167 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.720 antics trying to help Finnbala win the title, but this 168 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.559 goes all wrong when Dominique takes bron Breaker off the 169 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:59.279 corner and it forces Ballot to lose balance and lanth 170 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:04.440 on his nuts, ultimately costing him the match. And yeah, 171 00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:07.200 bron Breaker defending his title and getting the victory here. 172 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.799 We then see Judgment Day ambush bron Breaker and then 173 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.600 Penser coming out to save them. And what I found 174 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:19.320 quite interesting was seeing Dominic Masterio grab the Intercontinental Championship 175 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:21.600 belt before Pencer came out. I don't know if you 176 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:23.679 guys have noticed the little smirky hat on his face, 177 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.240 but again, I see another multi fatal four way potentially 178 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.039 here for sure. I did say in a few episodes 179 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:34.200 back it was going to be Dominic, Finn, bron Breaker, 180 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:37.679 and aj Styles, but it feels as though that it's 181 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.679 going to be Penta now of course beating beating Kaiser, 182 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:43.440 and I did mention that he would go for the 183 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:45.960 title as well, so it made a lot of sense 184 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:51.080 Penter coming out and then basically clearing out the judgment 185 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.639 day with bron Breaker and then facing each other off 186 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.759 at the end. It looks like they're going to be 187 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.919 fighting for the title together at Glasgow as well, so 188 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:02.320 we're going to see bron Breaker versus Penter there, and 189 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.919 I am certain that there's going to be a disqualification 190 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.039 of some sort. I feel as though the judgment they 191 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:10.200 are going to come in and interrupt the match because 192 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.600 Pender hasn't lost, and I don't think they're gonna give 193 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:17.240 away the title to bron Breaker. I'll give it away 194 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.519 before WrestleMania, So definitely look out for the Judgment day 195 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.279 coming into this one. I don't want to make a 196 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.879 spoiler or but it's just my personal prediction. And with 197 00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:29.399 the tensions that Finn Bala and Dominique Mysterio have, that 198 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.720 will give a perfect excuse for them to to be 199 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.919 involved in the Intercontinental Championship match as well. Obviously Finn 200 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.000 Bala being upset that he got costed the match by 201 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.000 Dom or else he would have won, and then Dom 202 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.440 obviously having that feud with Bala and the way he 203 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.519 kind of held that championship was pretty suss if I'm 204 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.639 gonna be honest, So they're gonna potentially fight at WrestleMania. 205 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:54.799 That's kind of my prediction. But again look out for 206 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:57.720 the match tomorrow. If bron Breaker does win, I'll be 207 00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:59.960 very surprised for Pener to get his first. 208 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.639 Loss in a match on Raw. 209 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:07.360 So yeah, definitely lots of factors to be involved here, 210 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.919 but that match is going to be extremely exciting to watch. 211 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:11.759 It's going to be a very good match. I think, 212 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.000 a big display with Penser being red hot at the 213 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.360 moment and bron Breaker being young and up and coming 214 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:22.159 and the current Intercontinential Championship Champion is going to be very, 215 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.600 very exciting and I'm actually really keen for for that match, 216 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.600 so yeah, again look out for what's going to happen there. 217 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:29.879 We then get snippets of rear. 218 00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:35.559 Ripley coming in and interrupting the contract, putting Eskuy onto 219 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:37.639 Bianco bell Air on top of the table, which the 220 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.960 table didn't bulge, which was a massive surprise to me. 221 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.679 And then we had further conversations backstage, basically Peers saying 222 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:47.000 that to give the contract back, she's not going to 223 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.159 be in the match, but we all know that eventually 224 00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.080 rear Ripley is going to be involved in this triple 225 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.440 threat match. It seems as though the beef is mainly 226 00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.000 with Bianco Bellair, but er Skuy is also getting involved 227 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:02.360 attacking backstage as well. But yeah, we're gonna just have 228 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:06.480 to wait and see how real Ripley emerges herself into this. 229 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.120 They're obviously resisting that she shouldn't be in it, but again, 230 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.840 it's gonna happen, so we just have to wait and 231 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.519 see as to how that will happen. Maybe we'll find 232 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.559 that next week's Raw or will be probably in the 233 00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:25.080 future as well. But again that little interruption was interesting. 234 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.440 With these three, I think the way that's going to 235 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:30.919 go down is Eo Sky looks to be the one 236 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:34.320 that will most likely retain because of the fact that 237 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:36.840 I think Bianco Ballet and Rerily going to get in 238 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:38.559 the way of each other since they're the ones that 239 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.840 are feuding the most. And you can see that the 240 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.720 fans are really gravitating towards Eo because she's extremely. 241 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.600 Exceptional in the ring. She seems as though she's sort 242 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:51.720 of the quote unquote underdog, being the smaller one and 243 00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:54.039 the one that's not getting the spotlight in this feud. 244 00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.919 So it just makes total sense if Eoskuy retains, But 245 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.000 again we'll have to wait and see as well. 246 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.279 Well. I'm waiting for Oscar or Kyrie Saying to come 247 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:08.320 back because that might open up around possibilities for Eskuy 248 00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.559 to potentially be feuding with those two in the future. 249 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:12.840 I know they're not they're still part of technically part 250 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:14.519 of damage control, but. 251 00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:17.679 I would love to see a few of the Japanese 252 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.600 women's wrestlers get into a little bit of a feud 253 00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:23.200 for that championship, and I think they would have an 254 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:27.360 unbelievable match with either or so yeah, I'm not really 255 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:30.080 sure what's happening, I think, and Kyri Sanes still have 256 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.440 big injuries, so we'll have to. 257 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:33.279 Wait and see for that. 258 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:37.480 But again, er skuy is just red hot at the moment. 259 00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:41.080 The fans are gravitating and really loving her, and it 260 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.919 makes complete sense because she's honestly probably one of the 261 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.480 best in ring performers at the moment. 262 00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:48.080 Honestly, in my. 263 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.720 Opinion, it's probably a hot take, but across both men 264 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:53.919 and women's divisions, I think she has been the standout 265 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.799 in ring last year and this year as well, so 266 00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.960 I think they will continue to keep going moving forward. 267 00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:04.159 I think that wouldn't be the wrong decision either. We 268 00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:08.320 then get onto back onto main event with they call 269 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:10.879 them miss the main events that the commentator said otis 270 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:15.320 and Akira Tazaladi Alpha Academy coming up against the war Raiders, 271 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.519 and I think the war Raiders being on here isn't 272 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.000 the worst thing because there's obviously been so much that's 273 00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:24.320 happening across Raw and SmackDown that they haven't had their 274 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.360 chance to get any TV time, so it's good to 275 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:30.240 see them on main event getting matches still and still 276 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:31.200 building momentum. 277 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.799 They get the victory here. 278 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.279 In six minutes and twenty seven seconds with the war 279 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.720 Machine as the finisher, as expected, But what I'd love 280 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.919 to say say is that the crowd was really gunning 281 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:48.240 for Otis here. The Belgium crowd was up and about 282 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.840 for Otis the whole time, and up and about as 283 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:51.919 a whole across. 284 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:52.639 Both shows to be fair. 285 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:55.879 So yeah, Otis getting all the momentum here, but again, 286 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.960 the victory was always going to go to the current 287 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:02.279 World tag team champion there, and they. 288 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.120 Haven't really mentioned anything about them, whether they're going to 289 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.159 fight at WrestleMania or not. But yeah, there's no real 290 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:10.120 feud or plans. I know. 291 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:14.320 They just came off a small, little like run with 292 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:19.679 American Maid defending their titles. But the only opponents that 293 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:23.000 really make sense for them and I think should beat 294 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:25.840 them is The New Day, And we haven't seen them 295 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:28.360 here either, but I think the New Day and the 296 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.279 war Raiders will make a perfect match for the title. 297 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:34.159 Give the New Day back the championship and kind of 298 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:38.360 get this, He'll run going with some gold around their 299 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:41.759 waists and then performing some like hell antics to keep 300 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.000 their titles with constant unfair victories and cheating in, etc. 301 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:49.240 So hopefully we can see the New Day take on 302 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.080 the war Raiders, and if not, hopefully we can see 303 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:54.480 the war Raiders actually defend their title at WrestleMania. Doesn't 304 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:56.120 seem like there's going to be space for them, But 305 00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:59.960 why wouldn't we see a title defense or a title 306 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.720 match at WrestleMania. It just doesn't seem to make sense. 307 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:05.559 Maybe they can put them on the pre show or something, 308 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:08.720 but I think the war Raiders need an opponent, and 309 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:11.039 what better opponent than the current New. 310 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:13.080 Day who are heal. It's a face versus heel. It 311 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:14.240 makes complete sense to me. 312 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:16.759 Just the way they're going to do it is going 313 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:18.759 to be something interesting. Maybe there's going to have to 314 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:21.320 be a number one contendership match, or maybe this is 315 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:23.399 the new they just decide that they're going to call 316 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:26.960 call out the war Raiders for those titles. But yeah, 317 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.600 the war Raiders is getting the victory here. The Alpha 318 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:33.000 Academy continue to be the main event staple, not getting 319 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:35.960 victories but getting a lot of heat. I still want 320 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.480 Otis to do something significant, hopefully in the future, but 321 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:41.399 it doesn't look like that's going to be the case 322 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:46.000 anytime soon, which is quite unfortunate. But we then move 323 00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:48.960 on to just a little preview of what's going to 324 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.480 happen in Glasgow, Scotland with j Usso and a mystery 325 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.080 opponent taking on Atown down Under, and all I'm going 326 00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:58.840 to say, if it's not Joe Hendry, there is going 327 00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:02.559 to be major strations from me because why would they 328 00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:04.559 do a mystery opponent and not give it to Joe 329 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:08.880 Hendrew who is from Scotland, the hometown hero coming back 330 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.680 to WWE and fighting a towndown Under would be something amazing. 331 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.880 The crowd would give a massive pop and it'd be 332 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.880 something interesting. But I think one thing I must mention, 333 00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:22.680 and I'm not saying that it's going to happen, But 334 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:25.799 you guys probably don't know who Joe Weller is is 335 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.079 a YouTuber. He has recently been on Logan Paul's podcast 336 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:32.039 mentioning that he wants to be a part of WWE. 337 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.319 There has been a few back and forth tweets with 338 00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:39.279 him and Austin Theory I'm sorry Grayson Waller, the Aussie 339 00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:44.359 icon Grayson Waller calling him a flog and everything. So 340 00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:46.319 maybe he might be the opponent, just to have that 341 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:48.519 make it a little bit spicy between him and Grace 342 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:51.240 and Waller. But that might not be the case because 343 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:54.480 obviously Joe Waller is from the UK and they're going 344 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:56.680 to be having a matches backdown in the UK as 345 00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.799 well or in London. Scotland's in the UK, but in London, 346 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.519 I mean he's from England, so I think. 347 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:03.960 Joe Hendry makes the most sense. 348 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:06.359 But suddenly tells me it's going to be someone like 349 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:09.920 Sammy's ain to surprise everyone, but everyone be like disappointed 350 00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:12.440 in that, so again we'll have to wait and see 351 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:16.440 excited for that. We also have the Intercontinental Championship match 352 00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:20.000 between Riccao Rodriguez and Lara Vlkira, which I suspect Laara 353 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:23.920 Vlquirai all in that match easily, so again we'll have 354 00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:28.519 to to wait and see what happens there there. And 355 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:34.599 we finally close off the show with yes, John Sena's promo. 356 00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:37.119 They end the main event here, but it did start 357 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.519 with it did start with this at raw at the 358 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:43.000 main event that closed the show with this, which which 359 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:46.799 makes complete sense. John Cena comes out to his own music, 360 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.160 which didn't really surprise me. But at the same time, 361 00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:52.599 I was yes, hoping for a bit of a full 362 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.559 change of heal music and etctera, and I did mention 363 00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.480 how this was going to go in a European crowd. 364 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:01.559 I would have I thought it would have been better 365 00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:04.240 to have it at the home crowd and see their reactions. 366 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.960 But boy was I wrong. The crowd, as I mentioned. 367 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:09.880 At the start of the podcast and even towards the middle, 368 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:14.319 went off and they continued to go off. They obviously 369 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:16.680 cheered when his music came out for like the first 370 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.559 two seconds, and then immediately it changed the booze and 371 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:24.480 everyone was giving John Cena a lot of heat, which 372 00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:28.119 was fantastic to see singing the John Cena sucks into 373 00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.960 the malady of his song, lots of. 374 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.440 Booze and yeah, just perfect. 375 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:38.319 Like John Cena came out, delivered his promo and basically 376 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:42.079 was acting like the victim, which was a massive surprise too. 377 00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:46.400 I would have thought he would explain his actions in 378 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:49.480 a more sympathetic way or more to just say like 379 00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:52.880 why he did it, But he didn't even mention why 380 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.559 he actually attacked Cody Rhodes and sold his soul to 381 00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:59.640 the rock. He basically just mentioned how he's been given 382 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.720 the fans everything for twenty five years and they've basically, 383 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:07.039 I have been abusing him. They've been saying like they'd 384 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:09.720 been making him visible, jokes for him for for so long, 385 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:13.640 basically just crying and saying that, yeah, he wasn't able 386 00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:15.640 to be himself. He did it all for the fans, 387 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.119 and yeah, now they deserve nothing. So we don't get 388 00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:24.640 his new music, we don't get no new clothes, new outfits. 389 00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:27.119 And it's kind of a smart way to keep the 390 00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:31.319 merch because my biggest concern, well I think ww's biggest 391 00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:33.720 business concern would have been if they were to turn 392 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:36.319 John Cena heel and stop giving out merch, they would 393 00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:40.200 lose so much money in merchandise. John seen in his promo, 394 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:45.279 perfectly allowed the WWE to still sell his merch and 395 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:47.559 people are still gonna buy it because his last year, 396 00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:50.119 so they're still gonna make a shit ton of money 397 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:54.279 with the merch that he has while still being this heel. 398 00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:56.119 So the amazing work there. 399 00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.039 He mentions that it's his music, it's the way he looks, 400 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:02.559 and everyone dresses like him. 401 00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:05.759
