WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 1>This is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to

2
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the WWE podcast, the show, the one that everybody wants

3
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>met for sixteen So guys, just well, your ass is

4
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:30.519
<v Speaker 1>mynd you can acknowledge me.

5
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Hey, guys, and welcome to another main Event review with

6
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.520
<v Speaker 2>your host Daniel and today we're going to be obviously

7
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:44.399
<v Speaker 2>reviewing the events of Raw that happened last week, as

8
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 2>well as the two matches that did appear on Main

9
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 2>Event as well. I again hope you've had a lovely

10
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 2>weekend and I'm a.

11
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.679
<v Speaker 3>Key for the super Bowl. For those who are Super Bowl.

12
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Fans, probably by the time that this comes out, the

13
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 2>results have probably been put in, so if you're whatever

14
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.719
<v Speaker 2>an Eagles or a Chiefs fan, congratulations in advance.

15
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:11.599
<v Speaker 3>Personally, I hope Philly Eagles do.

16
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Win would be very good as I think the Chiefs

17
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 2>have had their time winning three in a row and

18
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.519
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it'd be good to have someone new

19
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 2>and refreshing win the Super Bowl. But anyways, before we

20
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:28.879
<v Speaker 2>get started to the actual review, I do want to

21
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:33.480
<v Speaker 2>mention the wrestlers that have been released by WWE this

22
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.840
<v Speaker 2>coming week, which has been a bit of a surprise,

23
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.760
<v Speaker 2>but at the same time, the superstars that have been

24
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Speaker 2>released is not something that I guess affects anything for

25
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.439
<v Speaker 2>I think the foreseeable future, starting with by Paul Allering,

26
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 2>the authors of Pain of Akm and Rosa Razar being Albanion,

27
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 2>which is a bit of a sad one for me,

28
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.799
<v Speaker 2>Cedric Alexander, who I haven't seen in years, so I'm

29
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>surprised that he's actually still even on the Ross, and

30
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 2>then the big one being Sonya Deville who did have

31
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 2>a main event match today. That one was probably the

32
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:11.599
<v Speaker 2>biggest shot for me. Followed by also Blair Davenport, who

33
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 2>literally was drafted to backdown last year, so not really

34
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 2>sure why she's got the flick there, especially being a

35
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 2>new superstar in the main card, and then Kyl Anderson

36
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.439
<v Speaker 2>and Luke Gallas as well, which I guess was probably

37
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>over due to Eiler Dawn, which is a bit of

38
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.639
<v Speaker 2>a surprise. I guess Alba Phire is going to be

39
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 2>rolling with herself for the foreseeable future. Giovanni Vinci, which

40
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.120
<v Speaker 2>is pretty hilarious because I saw them build up like

41
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 2>three weeks of this blow coming back and he ended

42
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 2>up I guess not being not being in the plans

43
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 2>for WWE. So yeah, he came back, got hyped, lost

44
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:55.360
<v Speaker 2>two victories to Apollo Cruise within like three seconds, and yeah,

45
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>now he's out of the WWE, So that.

46
00:02:57.960 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 3>One was interesting.

47
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.840
<v Speaker 2>And then the last one being Electro Lopez, which yeah,

48
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.159
<v Speaker 2>I think is a difficult one. Like I did, like

49
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 2>that Legada Pantasma had a woman to kind of manage them,

50
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 2>but I guess in terms of her wrestling that wasn't

51
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 2>really much. I know she had that one I think

52
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>qualifying match and she didn't get any heat on her whatsoever.

53
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, those are the moves that have happened, and

54
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I guess moving forward we'll see who kind of takes

55
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.159
<v Speaker 2>the main event spots for the foreseeable future. But I

56
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 2>just thought i'd quickly mention those before we get into it,

57
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, without further or adop, let's get underway. So

58
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 2>we had the first match ironically between as mentioned, Sonya

59
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Deville and Natalia. Natalia getting the victory here with I

60
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 2>think a roll up up pin there, and despite all

61
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>the distractions that PFC did to Sonya to try help

62
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Sonya Deville win, the match obviously didn't happen. And that's

63
00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:00.319
<v Speaker 2>how I guess Sonya Deville goes out in WW with

64
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 2>a loss on main event to Natalia there and that

65
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 2>has Natalia's second win in a row as well. Last

66
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 2>week I did mention that it would have been just

67
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.439
<v Speaker 2>a hyper up for the Raw Rumble because obviously she entered,

68
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 2>and now this week, probably because they're not having any

69
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 2>plans for Sonya Deville, they're just making her go out

70
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.199
<v Speaker 2>in style losing to Natalia, which again is a bit

71
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 2>of a shame. A lot of people weren't big fan

72
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.399
<v Speaker 2>of PFC, but personally I felt that having a heel

73
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 2>faction for the women's division was something that was super interesting,

74
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.360
<v Speaker 2>and now that they don't have Sonya Deville.

75
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't see how this group can move forward.

76
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I know it didn't get much heat, but at the

77
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.600
<v Speaker 2>same time, I felt like they were underutilizing Sonya Deville

78
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.120
<v Speaker 2>big time because I thought that she.

79
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Was really really good on the MIC.

80
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.439
<v Speaker 2>For the past years, she's been a women's Champion, she's

81
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 2>been a GM of the shows. So just a real

82
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 2>surprise that they went with this decision. And now what

83
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.720
<v Speaker 2>will happen between I guess Shaneya Beza and Sonya and

84
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 2>Sorry and Zoe Stark is going to be something that

85
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>we're going to have to figure out because I don't

86
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>see PFC yeah lasting and it didn't really do a

87
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>good job to begin with, So.

88
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a bit of a shame that one.

89
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I was excited to see how yes a heel staple

90
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:22.160
<v Speaker 2>like them would go in WWA, especially since there was

91
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 2>a bit of rumblings about the Intercontinental Championship, and there

92
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:29.000
<v Speaker 2>was also a little bit of diffusion between each other

93
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.399
<v Speaker 2>as well, when a couple of weeks back, Jenny Deville

94
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 2>said that I was Zoway Stark said that she wanted

95
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.439
<v Speaker 2>to win the Intercontinental title, and Sonya Deville kind of

96
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.720
<v Speaker 2>just questioned whether she was for the team or not.

97
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:46.439
<v Speaker 2>So I guess, yeah, that's going to be something we're

98
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:47.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to see in the future, and maybe they

99
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 2>go their separate ways, or maybe they become a tag team.

100
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 2>We are in need of women's tag teams still. You

101
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 2>can see that Naomi and Bianco Bellay haven't defended their

102
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.759
<v Speaker 2>titles it feels like in over a month now, so

103
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe there'll be some competition for those titles with so

104
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>We Stuck and Shane the Basler. We then move on

105
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>to Raw over to Raw and it starts with Jimmy

106
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Us entering the ring. And I've got to say, since

107
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy ju so.

108
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.879
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, said Jimmy. Since Jus has.

109
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Won the Royal Rumble, him coming out to every show

110
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 2>having like an over ten minute entrance has been nothing

111
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 2>short of awesome. And this is why I'm kind of

112
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:36.839
<v Speaker 2>happy he did win the Royal Rumble because he had

113
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:40.519
<v Speaker 2>so much heat before the Rumble and now that heat

114
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 2>has gone higher than it's ever been before.

115
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.360
<v Speaker 3>So props to Jus for we win the Royal Rumble.

116
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.079
<v Speaker 3>Props the WW with going with.

117
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:51.319
<v Speaker 2>A curveball move to give him the victory there despite

118
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of hate, and you can see what he's

119
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.800
<v Speaker 2>doing with juson all the fans that are going out

120
00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:01.160
<v Speaker 2>to watch him. The place is electric. So he comes

121
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:06.360
<v Speaker 2>into the ring looking very emotional, which makes sense because, yeah,

122
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:08.240
<v Speaker 2>he's worked a long time to get here.

123
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.079
<v Speaker 3>He's been in the WW for so long.

124
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.519
<v Speaker 2>He's obviously been an attack team champion and attack team

125
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 2>wrestler for a long time with his twin brother, so

126
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 2>having that chance for him to push over as a

127
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.720
<v Speaker 2>single star has been amazing. So he pulls out a

128
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.319
<v Speaker 2>promo mentioning that yeah, he worked really hard to get

129
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 2>to the spot, and he was emotional with tears in

130
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.519
<v Speaker 2>his eyes. As mentioned, he said that it's he got

131
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.439
<v Speaker 2>it because of the fans, and his tears and eyes

132
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.480
<v Speaker 2>are saying thanks to the fans. He also was very

133
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.480
<v Speaker 2>emotional when the crowd was obviously cheering that of for him.

134
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 2>He said, because of the fans, he's a twenty twenty

135
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.759
<v Speaker 2>five Roll Rumble rinner and he's going to WrestleMania for

136
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 2>the main event. And then we get Ghanzan that walks

137
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 2>down to the stage, comes in and basically mentions that

138
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.920
<v Speaker 2>he's disappointed that Jauso won the Roller Rumble. This was

139
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.360
<v Speaker 2>a really really good angle because he did mention that

140
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.560
<v Speaker 2>he was trying to build a legacy and that superstars

141
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.519
<v Speaker 2>such as Roman Rain, Seampunk or John Cena would have

142
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 2>added to Gansa's legacy. But now that Jay's won it,

143
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:16.319
<v Speaker 2>he's got essentially everything to lose and nothing to gain. Well,

144
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 2>j Uso has everything to gain and I guess nothing

145
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.319
<v Speaker 2>to lose. The funniest line of the thing was that

146
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:26.959
<v Speaker 2>he told that Jay that he put him down like

147
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:31.439
<v Speaker 2>a disease dog and essentially was basically threatening him if

148
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.039
<v Speaker 2>he was to choose j U of J so was

149
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 2>to choose Gunsa to fight for the title, and this

150
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 2>one's going to be very interesting. We all know that

151
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.480
<v Speaker 2>j us He's going to choose Guntha and they're going

152
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.759
<v Speaker 2>to fight at WrestleMania. He does mention that he's going

153
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.120
<v Speaker 2>to go and see what code he's got to say,

154
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:51.200
<v Speaker 2>So they're obviously going to hype up Juso questioning whether

155
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 2>he wants to fight Gunsa or not. But he is

156
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.440
<v Speaker 2>going to fight Guntha. And basically, I think the way

157
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.039
<v Speaker 2>this is going to go is guns is going to

158
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.639
<v Speaker 2>put Juso through so much before WrestleMania, not similar to

159
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 2>kind of the KOFE Mania around, the only difference being

160
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.559
<v Speaker 2>that obviously Vince Pacmann was the one that kind of

161
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.519
<v Speaker 2>made Kofe go through all all the struggles and bits

162
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.759
<v Speaker 2>to get this championship shot. So I think it's gonna

163
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 2>happen in Gunther's control, in Gunsn's ways, and I think

164
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>we're all going to be set to believe that Jayusai

165
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.159
<v Speaker 2>is gonna suffer. He's not going to be able to

166
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.559
<v Speaker 2>make it to WrestleMania. He's not good enough. Gunther's a

167
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.080
<v Speaker 2>whole lot better than him, and then come WrestleMania, he

168
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.679
<v Speaker 2>might win the title. But this one's hard for me

169
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:38.720
<v Speaker 2>personally because I really love Gonza and I really love

170
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.360
<v Speaker 2>the run he's having with the championship belt, and I

171
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.799
<v Speaker 2>feel like it's too premature to let it go. But

172
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.519
<v Speaker 2>at the same time, I do really want Jason to

173
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:51.200
<v Speaker 2>win the title too, and I know that WWE, especially

174
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:56.360
<v Speaker 2>come WrestleMania, love giving their most overfaced baby face superstars

175
00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.440
<v Speaker 2>the championship at WrestleMania.

176
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.480
<v Speaker 3>You saw it with Kofi, you saw with Daniel Bryan.

177
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.279
<v Speaker 2>You also saw it with Cody Rhodes last year, so

178
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.399
<v Speaker 2>they're looking for a similar thing for jay Uso. Do

179
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:12.639
<v Speaker 2>I reckon his time is now? I personally don't think so.

180
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:17.519
<v Speaker 2>I think that we can afford another year of a

181
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 2>loss and US knocking ja Uso down and then him

182
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.879
<v Speaker 2>finally getting there probably the next WrestleMania, but again, we'll

183
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.679
<v Speaker 2>have to wait and see. Everyone's not too happy about

184
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:32.600
<v Speaker 2>the match itself, being that they've obviously versed each other

185
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.399
<v Speaker 2>multiple times. But what I'll say to that is that

186
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.919
<v Speaker 2>if we want wrestling to push forward, we need to

187
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.720
<v Speaker 2>move on with new superstars and people that are over

188
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.840
<v Speaker 2>as well. Yes, Siampung, Yes, John Cena, Yes, Roman Reigns, Yes,

189
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:51.159
<v Speaker 2>Seth Rowlands. On paper sound like the better matches, but

190
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:55.039
<v Speaker 2>at the same time, we do really need to push

191
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>the new superstars as well. And we had the same

192
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:00.639
<v Speaker 2>complaints back at Summerstam when Gunslain Priest Versa Summer Slam,

193
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 2>but in the end when it happened, no one really

194
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:06.840
<v Speaker 2>complained after so I feel like people just like to

195
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.279
<v Speaker 2>complain and just like to put in their opinions, But

196
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.159
<v Speaker 2>at the same time, it's like we need to move

197
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.559
<v Speaker 2>on with new superstars and push the new generation too.

198
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:18.120
<v Speaker 2>So having these two have a WrestleMania match, and it

199
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.279
<v Speaker 2>was confirmed that I think they are going to be

200
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.600
<v Speaker 2>a main event, so apologies for what I.

201
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:23.840
<v Speaker 3>Mentioned last week.

202
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:26.799
<v Speaker 2>They will be main eventing WrestleMania, whether it's Day one

203
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 2>or Day two. I'm not sure this will be a

204
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.840
<v Speaker 2>good match, and I think what will be important here

205
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:33.960
<v Speaker 2>is how the build up to this match will go.

206
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:37.200
<v Speaker 2>And if it goes anything like I predict and I suspect,

207
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.080
<v Speaker 2>then I suppose that it's going to be a fun

208
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:44.039
<v Speaker 2>ride and a very rewarding one. If jay Uso decides

209
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:46.840
<v Speaker 2>to win or a one where we're just going to

210
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.240
<v Speaker 2>have to wait another year for ja Usa to get

211
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.840
<v Speaker 2>his to get his well deserved championship. But we got

212
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 2>to all buy into the story and I'm certainly going

213
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:57.879
<v Speaker 2>to buy into this as well. So yeah, looking forward

214
00:11:57.919 --> 00:11:58.320
<v Speaker 2>to that one.

215
00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:58.759
<v Speaker 3>Of course.

216
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.879
<v Speaker 2>We then get confirmed news that from Adam Silver, so

217
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:08.000
<v Speaker 2>we move on from that segment and he announces that

218
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:12.559
<v Speaker 2>aj Styles is moving to Monday Night Raw, which is

219
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:16.200
<v Speaker 2>pretty interesting. We'll see what happens with him there. It

220
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:17.639
<v Speaker 2>was really cool to see him in the Royal Run.

221
00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Well. I think he did a fantastic.

222
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Job, shows that he's still got it and still got

223
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:25.120
<v Speaker 2>his legs in him, and hopefully he'll be chasing titles.

224
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:28.559
<v Speaker 2>I suspect that he might push for the Intercontinental Championship

225
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.720
<v Speaker 2>and try to put over Bronze Breaker there, but I

226
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.799
<v Speaker 2>guess we'll have to wait and see what they do,

227
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:36.799
<v Speaker 2>and especially Crime WrestleMania, there might be there might be

228
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:41.039
<v Speaker 2>some stuff for him there. We then move on and

229
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.600
<v Speaker 2>continue and stay on Raw with Charlotte Prayer. Charlotte Flair

230
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Prayer coming into the to the ring. She said that

231
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:52.519
<v Speaker 2>she's missed the fans and to share it's been a

232
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:55.639
<v Speaker 2>year and two months. She also said that she missed

233
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:59.440
<v Speaker 2>people booing her and the ones cheering her, So essentially,

234
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 2>I think she pushing for people to understand that she

235
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:06.120
<v Speaker 2>is a heel. I hope that remains the case, which

236
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it will since of due to that reception

237
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:11.480
<v Speaker 2>that she got. She also talked about how last year

238
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.200
<v Speaker 2>broke her mentally and physically, and she spoke to a

239
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:15.960
<v Speaker 2>point that she didn't know if she was even gonna

240
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.720
<v Speaker 2>make it to Survivor Series, Raw Rumble or even WrestleMania,

241
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.679
<v Speaker 2>and as the fans continue to booth, she said that

242
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 2>she'll embrace all the booze because she still loves all

243
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:30.480
<v Speaker 2>of you ads. A direct quote, she does say, wherever

244
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:32.840
<v Speaker 2>you're booing or wooing, it doesn't change the fact that

245
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.720
<v Speaker 2>she is the greatest WWE superstar in the industry and

246
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.399
<v Speaker 2>mentions boomy. Now, so yeah, we've basically confirmed here that

247
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:44.639
<v Speaker 2>she's going to be a heel. As that happens where

248
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Ripley interrupts, comes into the ring and pretty much.

249
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.559
<v Speaker 3>Begs Charlotte to pick her.

250
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Charlotte then mentions that Ripley has jumped the gun and

251
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.159
<v Speaker 2>basically mentioning that she's going to see if she's going

252
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:02.440
<v Speaker 2>to be inspired by Julia and NXT and then see

253
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:07.799
<v Speaker 2>if she's going to be inspired by Tiffany Stratten. Basically,

254
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 2>then Ripley said that or I didn't mention before that

255
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.399
<v Speaker 2>they were talking about how they beat each other. So

256
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.679
<v Speaker 2>the first time that reaversed Charlotte, she lost, and then

257
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Ria won the last time they versed as well, so

258
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.440
<v Speaker 2>they have a potential to have a rubber match here.

259
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:29.799
<v Speaker 2>But basically, Rhea did say that she respects Charlotte and

260
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:30.919
<v Speaker 2>wants to be picked.

261
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:32.120
<v Speaker 3>So that she can respect her.

262
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.960
<v Speaker 2>So that's an interesting one because I think a lot

263
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.200
<v Speaker 2>of people are suspecting that Charlotte is going to go

264
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:48.000
<v Speaker 2>up against Tiffany Stratton. I would rather actually have Charlotte

265
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Flair beat or versus Rea Ripley not beat her at WrestleMania,

266
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:54.879
<v Speaker 2>because I feel like there's a bit more tension to that,

267
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:57.480
<v Speaker 2>and I feel as though that they have a rubber

268
00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:58.120
<v Speaker 2>match against the.

269
00:14:58.120 --> 00:14:59.919
<v Speaker 3>Two Tiffany Stratton.

270
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.600
<v Speaker 2>I would have preferred her versus Nia Jackson WrestleMania, but

271
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:05.360
<v Speaker 2>it seems as though that they're going to end that

272
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.120
<v Speaker 2>feud next week at Mackdown when she retains the title.

273
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:11.759
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, This is probably the one where we don't

274
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:14.159
<v Speaker 2>know which direction Charlotte can go in. Both directions can

275
00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:18.559
<v Speaker 2>be something that will be I guess interesting. Charlotte shouldn't

276
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.279
<v Speaker 2>win the title, and I don't think she will. I

277
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:23.679
<v Speaker 2>think her job here is to simply put over one

278
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:27.600
<v Speaker 2>of these two superstars. Tiffany has a bigger chance to

279
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:30.679
<v Speaker 2>be put over if Charlotte verses her, and I think

280
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.639
<v Speaker 2>for Real Ripley, it's cements her legacy as one of

281
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:36.960
<v Speaker 2>the best women's in the division. And would love to

282
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.440
<v Speaker 2>see that because my fellow Australian is doing so well

283
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:45.200
<v Speaker 2>and putting her her name on the map in such

284
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.559
<v Speaker 2>a big way is awesome to see. Again, I always

285
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.600
<v Speaker 2>say this that she's probably the best Australian wrestler we've

286
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.240
<v Speaker 2>ever had, and she's still young and she's still got

287
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:54.840
<v Speaker 2>plenty of time to continue.

288
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:59.240
<v Speaker 3>So whoever Charlotte chooses will be interesting.

289
00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Again mentioned but I would love her to choose Rea

290
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:05.799
<v Speaker 2>Ripley personally, and I think that match would go for

291
00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:08.039
<v Speaker 2>for a good booking, But again we'll have to wait

292
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:13.679
<v Speaker 2>and see how that that goes. We then go back

293
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:16.360
<v Speaker 2>to the main event and we get the second match

294
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:20.279
<v Speaker 2>of the night, it is the Creed Brothers with Ivy

295
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:23.360
<v Speaker 2>and the Chad Gable which you mentioned he was taking

296
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.639
<v Speaker 2>some leave to find the study of the undergrounds of

297
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:33.159
<v Speaker 2>luchador Wrestling against Alpha Academy of a curate Tozawa and

298
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:34.879
<v Speaker 2>otis a.

299
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:35.840
<v Speaker 3>Pretty decent match here.

300
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.960
<v Speaker 2>We saw the Creed Brothers getting the victory there with

301
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Brutus displaying a strong athleticism with that Moon Salt caused

302
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:50.639
<v Speaker 2>by the distraction of Ivy now hitting Maxine Dupre causing

303
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:55.039
<v Speaker 2>a curate Tzawa to be distracted looking at that. But yeah,

304
00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.960
<v Speaker 2>not really too much there. They're They're fought so many times,

305
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.759
<v Speaker 2>so I'm not really sure what's going to happen with

306
00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:03.879
<v Speaker 2>the Creed Brothers, especially with Chad Gable out. They may

307
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.160
<v Speaker 2>push for the World Tag Team champions. I know that

308
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:10.640
<v Speaker 2>the war Raiders are looking for a partner, so I'm opponent,

309
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:13.960
<v Speaker 2>so it'll be interesting there to see whether they will

310
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.640
<v Speaker 2>be able to push for that. And then when it

311
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.319
<v Speaker 2>comes to I guess a curate otis. I always mentioned

312
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:22.160
<v Speaker 2>they get the main event spots all the time due

313
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:24.920
<v Speaker 2>to their kind of entertainment, hyping up the crowd before raw,

314
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:28.559
<v Speaker 2>so they continue to do that successfully, but It is

315
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.599
<v Speaker 2>a shame that we're not getting that massive Otis push

316
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:34.279
<v Speaker 2>that I think everyone is starving to see.

317
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:36.720
<v Speaker 3>I know that he's he's more of a.

318
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Okay comedy act with a curate and even as a

319
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:44.200
<v Speaker 2>single superstar, but he really is over by the fans.

320
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.599
<v Speaker 2>A lot of the fans really love Otis, and we

321
00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:50.799
<v Speaker 2>never got that that feud between him and Chad Gable

322
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:53.240
<v Speaker 2>when that was running real hot. I feel like that's

323
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.160
<v Speaker 2>been significantly delayed. They should have done a lot more

324
00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.720
<v Speaker 2>with that. They should have had their their program, they

325
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:01.319
<v Speaker 2>should have had their match at one of the p l's,

326
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:04.039
<v Speaker 2>and we should have had a better reaction from Otis too,

327
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:06.359
<v Speaker 2>so that kind of died off. There would have been

328
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.960
<v Speaker 2>a good opportunity to just see Otis get payback from

329
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:13.960
<v Speaker 2>all the bullying that Chad Gable did to all of

330
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.400
<v Speaker 2>the Alpha Academy members, and it was a shame that

331
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:18.519
<v Speaker 2>we didn't get that, and now we're stuck with I

332
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.240
<v Speaker 2>guess having this entertainment on main event, and also just

333
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Otis and the curators are continuing to be a comedy act.

334
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:28.200
<v Speaker 2>It would be good to see Maxine dupre Get in

335
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.880
<v Speaker 2>the ring as well and fight on main event too,

336
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:33.160
<v Speaker 2>just for her to get her development up and also

337
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:36.799
<v Speaker 2>to just I guess see where they have their plans,

338
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.279
<v Speaker 2>because they seem to keep them around and they're doing

339
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:44.240
<v Speaker 2>a great job, I guess with the backstage antics and yeah,

340
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:49.039
<v Speaker 2>this entertainment, so not really sure what they'll do with

341
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:53.119
<v Speaker 2>them seriously, but again, if they continue to be a

342
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:55.960
<v Speaker 2>staple and main event, then I'm not complaining too much

343
00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:57.160
<v Speaker 2>if I'm honest.

344
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:02.079
<v Speaker 3>And then we get the final match of the day.

345
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:06.759
<v Speaker 2>Back on Raw, we get seem Punk versing Samusein, seeing

346
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Punk wrestling like the heel here, a lot of trash talking,

347
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:13.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of mentioning that sami Zin is not good enough.

348
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:18.079
<v Speaker 2>He ends up getting the victory here, and then as

349
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:21.599
<v Speaker 2>Punk tries to help Samusein up, we get a blind

350
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:26.440
<v Speaker 2>sided attack by Kevin Owens, who then puts Samusein through

351
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:31.920
<v Speaker 2>a package pile driver, which was not quite the surprise,

352
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:37.400
<v Speaker 2>but I guess not inspected after we saw what Kevin

353
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Owens did the night before. Was very surprised to see

354
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:44.720
<v Speaker 2>him out there and delivered that move to Samusein. We

355
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:46.759
<v Speaker 2>did get clearance on SmackDown as told why he did

356
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:50.200
<v Speaker 2>it and when I did see him attack it. It did

357
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:52.680
<v Speaker 2>make a lot of sense to me. Originally I thought

358
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:55.880
<v Speaker 2>as though, like when Cody Rhodes was climbing up the ladder,

359
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.079
<v Speaker 2>Samusein did nothing and I expected him to do something.

360
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:01.440
<v Speaker 2>But now you know why he didn't do anything, because

361
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:03.799
<v Speaker 2>it sets up the feud between the two. We get

362
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:08.400
<v Speaker 2>another Kevin Owens and Samusein feud, which is great because

363
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:12.160
<v Speaker 2>these two will put up a massive fight and I

364
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:15.160
<v Speaker 2>think a match that will be just as brutal as

365
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.400
<v Speaker 2>the Cody Rhods and Kevin Owens fight. Hopefully, because right

366
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:20.960
<v Speaker 2>now Kevin Owens has been nothing short of a beast.

367
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:24.400
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, we'll have to see what happens with those

368
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:26.160
<v Speaker 3>two and how that feud will be hyped up.

369
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:28.799
<v Speaker 2>We know that obviously Kevin Owens is not happy with

370
00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:31.160
<v Speaker 2>the fact that Samusein didn't help him, and also the

371
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:33.400
<v Speaker 2>fact that he supported Roman reigns at the Royal Rumbull.

372
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.960
<v Speaker 2>So again, Kevin Owens remains to be a bit twisted,

373
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:40.640
<v Speaker 2>a bit delusional, but to be honest, bringing up some

374
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:44.039
<v Speaker 2>real valid points. So I don't really see that he's

375
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.799
<v Speaker 2>fully in the wrong here either, But the way he's

376
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:50.559
<v Speaker 2>running with this, this heel persona has been nothing short

377
00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:54.480
<v Speaker 2>of incredible, and I guess we see Karen Cross still

378
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:57.640
<v Speaker 2>trying to influence Samu z Ain, so maybe we might

379
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:00.119
<v Speaker 2>see rumblings of a heel term for samu'se Ain, But

380
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:02.640
<v Speaker 2>for now, I think in this feud with Kevin Owens,

381
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:06.599
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be obviously the babyface here and I

382
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:09.960
<v Speaker 2>think we're going to see a interesting feud and something

383
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:15.400
<v Speaker 2>to build up to for WrestleMania, And that pretty much

384
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:19.279
<v Speaker 2>wraps up. Yes, the main event review. Again, we'll have

385
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.359
<v Speaker 2>another one obviously live next week with what will happen

386
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.319

387
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.279

388
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.079

389
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.480
<v Speaker 2>two months. Actually, There's sure is to be a lot

390
00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:39.039
<v Speaker 2>of content and a lot of things moving forward, and

391
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:42.839
