Speaker 2: by myself, but this time I'm not. I am with
Speaker 2: someone who is very special. She is a budding wrestling creator,
Speaker 2: a passionate wrestling fan, and a future WWE announcer, and

Speaker 2: like I was very honored that you wanted to be
Speaker 2: on here, and I just can't wait to see you
Speaker 2: know how much more we can evolve together as black
Speaker 2: women in this wrestling space. I'm just so excited when
Speaker 2: anybody wants to come and talk with me wrestler or
Speaker 2: otherwise ban creator or whatever. So I'm just really happy,
Speaker 2: and I felt like this was the perfect time for
Speaker 2: us to talk and chat as women because something historic
Speaker 2: is in our miss. Because of course, even though you
Speaker 2: know it's a huge wrestling weekend with AAW's All in Texas,
Speaker 2: Saturday night's main event for WWE NXT Great American Bash,
Speaker 2: there's just so much wrestling going on. Wow, Superheroes is
Speaker 2: happening still, There's so much wrestling going on this weekend,
Speaker 2: this weekend, But of course we are here to talk
Speaker 2: about this beautiful event that is just making the rounds
Speaker 2: in terms of discourse and just in terms of celebration,
Speaker 2: and it is Evolution Now. Of course, if you watch
Speaker 2: and if you keep up with the Hardy Wrestling Podcast,
Speaker 2: you know that I've already done an episode on Evolution
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. You know I already discussed it and talked
Speaker 2: about and reviewed every all the matches. So if you
Speaker 2: have not listened to that episode, please go back and
Speaker 2: watch it and listen to it. I had such a
Speaker 2: great time going back down memory lane watching it again
Speaker 2: and talking about the Evolution. No pun intended of so
Speaker 2: many of these women in wrestling in the years since
Speaker 2: it's happened to spent seven years and now this Sunday,
Speaker 2: it's happening again. And Bianca, let me ask you, how
Speaker 2: did you feel when you found out that evolution was
Speaker 2: taking place again?
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I'm I was very very happy
Speaker 4: that the women I have been are giving finally giving
Speaker 4: the platform again to showcase their talent on an all
Speaker 4: female pay per view, which happens just so happens to
Speaker 4: Lane on my birthday. So I feel so blessed that
Speaker 4: chose this day. But I'm sad I won't be there,
Speaker 4: but I'll be watching on Peacock and Johnsy your question again,
Speaker 4: I'm very happy and excited. So yeah, just if this
Speaker 4: has been the best women's division I've seen in quite
Speaker 4: some time, So there's some there's more improvement, but I
Speaker 4: feel like when you step in the right where stepping
Speaker 4: in the right direction.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: Now, I am a huge fan of wrestling on birthdays
Speaker 2: because I kid you not, like anytime I can watch
Speaker 2: an episode of Raw or spack Down on my birthday,
Speaker 2: I just feel like the day was just made especially
Speaker 2: for me, and it feels like, you know, not only
Speaker 2: is this day an evolution just crafted for women all
Speaker 2: over the world. Evolution is made just for you at
Speaker 2: this point of you know, your journey in life. The
Speaker 2: fact that this has come back and it falls on
Speaker 2: a special day where you, you know, get to celebrate
Speaker 2: yourself and then celebrate your womanhood and your journey so far.
Speaker 2: And then these women, you know, get to celebrate where
Speaker 2: how many strides they've made in their lives and in
Speaker 2: the ring and all of the above. So it's beautiful
Speaker 2: that that's happening for you. And in speaking of it
Speaker 2: happening on special days, it is also taking place on
Speaker 2: the tenth anniversary of another amazing and historic moment in
Speaker 2: women's wrestling history. What is that It's happening on the
Speaker 2: tenth anniversary of the debuts of Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch,
Speaker 2: and Mercedes Monette, even though of course, back then she
Speaker 2: was known as Sasha Banks. This has taking place on
Speaker 2: the exact date that the Women's Revolution, or back then
Speaker 2: the Divas Revolution got started.
Speaker 4: Now, wow, wow, I am mind blown right now? Yeah,
Speaker 4: is this a tease told something? Because it all so
Speaker 4: like is ag returning? What's going?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I will say this when I
Speaker 2: did find out and do my research, when I look
Speaker 2: and saw the date wearing it said July thirteenth, I
Speaker 2: looked it up and I was just like, you know,
Speaker 2: that sounds like a day that's really close to something
Speaker 2: special involving the women. And when I googled it and
Speaker 2: found out that that was the actual date, I like,
Speaker 2: it blew my mind and it brought chills to me
Speaker 2: and it made me very emotional as well, because I
Speaker 2: remember this day like it was yesterday. It was twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2: I was at my boyfriend's house. We were watching raw
Speaker 2: and you know the Bela's with the Bela Army, well
Speaker 2: with Team Bela with you know, Brion Nikki along with
Speaker 2: Victoria Crawford formerly known as Alicia Fox, were basically running
Speaker 2: roughshot over the women's division. At that point, Page was
Speaker 2: slash Sorea was the only woman basically taking them all on,
Speaker 2: and she felt like it was unfair. So Stephanie McMahon
Speaker 2: comes out there and she basically evens the playing field
Speaker 2: and introduces these women you know from NXT and brings
Speaker 2: them up to the main roster. And though at the
Speaker 2: time people were sort of upset that Bailey wasn't up there,
Speaker 2: having just won the NXT Women's Championship from Mercedes in
Speaker 2: that amazing match they had in Brooklyn. This was still
Speaker 2: a history making moment and it was the beginning of
Speaker 2: something new that we were seeing in WWT. So the
Speaker 2: idea that evolution is happening on this weekend, it's just
Speaker 2: and on this day, is very purposeful and I love
Speaker 2: it so yeah. And I know a lot of discourse
Speaker 2: was made online about when the show was and in
Speaker 2: terms of the calendar, because of course we just had
Speaker 2: a night of Chance Pans with WWE. We also had
Speaker 2: we also have Saturday nights man have been in NXT,
Speaker 2: and then of course you have the whole counterprogramming component
Speaker 2: of it all and people having your feelings and feeling
Speaker 2: like it wasn't given a fair shake. But I honestly
Speaker 2: feel like it being placed on this date was very purposeful.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about it, Beyonca.
Speaker 4: I I'm trying to wrap my head around everything, like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I've I was all taken. Yeah, just trying to figure
Speaker 4: out what to say. I just yeah, I was shut up.
Speaker 2: You're speechless, Yeah.
Speaker 4: I really am, I really am? I just all I
Speaker 4: ways say, is I hope to me and it comes
Speaker 4: back because I like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because Tomna was in that and I feel
Speaker 2: like something that does get a little bit lost in
Speaker 2: translation is you know, we talk about the debuts of
Speaker 2: these three larger than life, you know, stars who went
Speaker 2: on to just become iconic, but then you also have
Speaker 2: to talk about everything that the other women in this
Speaker 2: picture have done. You have Naomi there, you know, right,
Speaker 2: you have Naomi there, whose evolution from at that point healed,
Speaker 2: Naomi who is just hungry for the right type of
Speaker 2: opportunity to finding the inner glow within, and then her
Speaker 2: and Mercedes standing up for themselves and walking out as heartbroke.
Speaker 2: As heartbreaking as that was, it was necessary for them
Speaker 2: to stand on their worth and then, you know, become
Speaker 2: the stars that they are now. And then you have
Speaker 2: Naomi probably one of the best turns of her life
Speaker 2: right now, which we will get to a little bit later.
Speaker 2: And if you have yeah, and I.
Speaker 4: Love that they all had to leave to find themselves.
Speaker 4: And now look at Mercedesne's like, what six times ten
Speaker 4: time champion at what next? Oh my gosh, a e
Speaker 4: W what right? Pro wrestling? Now you see Tamna that's
Speaker 4: my girl. But you see Naomi with her evolution from
Speaker 4: the glow to where she is right now. She actually
Speaker 4: started as a Orlando magic dancer, so so humble beginnings.
Speaker 4: And here's Soreya page and at least she's off two
Speaker 4: better things. And now here's what was the name of again,
Speaker 4: Victoria something? Yeah, Victoria Crawford, Alicia Fox. Yes, she went.
Speaker 4: She's still wrestling, but she had to leave to find herself.
Speaker 4: Now she's happy and the happy relationships probably I think
Speaker 4: she's married now. Happy is now. I listened to her,
Speaker 4: but yeah, I like she They all left and here
Speaker 4: comes and we have the Bella twins who left. They're all. Yeah, everyone,
Speaker 4: it's very important to leave, to find yourself and to
Speaker 4: come if and if it's meant in if the universe
Speaker 4: and if it's in the universe's plans to bring you
Speaker 4: back to where you're supposed to be, then it will happen.
Speaker 4: But finding yourself is very important. And you talk about
Speaker 4: the evolution of the of where these women are in
Speaker 4: the women's division and in general. These the women were
Speaker 4: disrespected back in the day like nothing but being sexual.
Speaker 4: Over it was they were overly sexual lives to remember
Speaker 4: all the men were like, did the whistle tone? They
Speaker 4: didn't and not giving a fair chance only because they
Speaker 4: were only giving the chance because of their looks. So
Speaker 4: from that to this and landing on the day all
Speaker 4: where this happened, it's pretty cool. It's pretty amazing, and
Speaker 4: to witness it in the year twenty twenty five, such progress,
Speaker 4: and there's lots and there's there's obviously a lot more
Speaker 4: progresty we've done. And I feel like if Triple Ah's
Speaker 4: got the hint when that when the give passion I
Speaker 4: give the was a chance started to chend. If it
Speaker 4: wasn't for that, we wouldn't have this and I had
Speaker 4: more traction and build up for this pay per view.
Speaker 4: I don't want to now, I don't want to say, oh,
Speaker 4: it's they're kind of sexist in a way because why
Speaker 4: give why not give them traction? Like how you give
Speaker 4: the men traction and the build up to their pay
Speaker 4: per views. So there's still more prograecy we've done, But
Speaker 4: I love where. I love the progress that's been made.
Speaker 4: But there's still work to be done.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's definitely still work to be done. And when
Speaker 2: you think about you know, in terms of WW, where
Speaker 2: the women were always sort of seemed sort of like
Speaker 2: as you know, just like a palette cleanser before you
Speaker 2: got to like the main thing and how they weren't
Speaker 2: really like utilized to the best of their ability, even
Speaker 2: though it would happen like in spurts, but not on
Speaker 2: a consistent basis. This is amazing that it is happening,
Speaker 2: and of course we will. And of course, in terms
Speaker 2: of talking about you know, how long it's been since
Speaker 2: evolution has happened. You know, I hate that it took
Speaker 2: seven years for it to happen. But at the same token,
Speaker 2: I am glad that it is happening now because it's just,
Speaker 2: you know, we actually have an administration and a regime
Speaker 2: in terms of WW that is willing to listen to
Speaker 2: the people as opposed to just you know, seeing what
Speaker 2: they're saying and then just tuning it out because you
Speaker 2: think you know it all. I am happy that they
Speaker 2: were listening and did see you know, that there was
Speaker 2: a desire for evolution to happen, and I hate and
Speaker 2: I hate it. You know, before we even got to
Speaker 2: this point, hearing stories from people like Mickey James who
Speaker 2: and like other women like Maria Canilis, you know, who
Speaker 2: were set. There were people in charge or behind the
Speaker 2: scenes who felt like a women's pay per view wasn't
Speaker 2: going to sell out or wasn't gonna make as much
Speaker 2: money in all of the above. I hate that it
Speaker 2: took all of that negativity to finally lead, you know,
Speaker 2: to this. But at the same time, you know, the
Speaker 2: journey towards things aren't always the prettiest, So I am
Speaker 2: happy that the fans never gave up. We never stopped,
Speaker 2: you know, shouting for it. I never stopped shouting for it,
Speaker 2: because it's been on record on multiple people's shows, including
Speaker 2: my own, that I felt like they should have had
Speaker 2: it as an annual thing. So hopefully this could lead
Speaker 2: to them having it, you know, on a regular basis.
Speaker 2: But we just yeah, but we just have to wait
Speaker 2: and see what happens from this weekend. And I'm just
Speaker 2: happy that it is happening on this amazing weekend. So
Speaker 2: of course you have I did want to talk more about,
Speaker 2: you know, how a lot of these women, like who
Speaker 2: made their debut on this weekend are doing, because you
Speaker 2: did see Charlotte actually wrote an editorial on The Player's
Speaker 2: Tribune that just came out yesterday and it was fantastic,
Speaker 2: and she talked a lot about her journey in wrestling.
Speaker 2: Of course what led to her starting in wrestling, which
Speaker 2: was her brother Read and of course her father being
Speaker 2: Rick Clair, the nature Boy, but also her finding herself,
Speaker 2: you know, in wrestling and also dealing with the struggles
Speaker 2: of being a woman and wanting to do you know,
Speaker 2: things like have a family while also juggling her career
Speaker 2: and you know, keeping her identity and what and keeping
Speaker 2: herself grounded in the midst of all of this fame
Speaker 2: and a lot of things that she mentioned in this
Speaker 2: editorial in terms of equality for women was very spot on.
Speaker 2: One thing that she mentioned that resonated with me the
Speaker 2: most was when she talked about agism when it comes
Speaker 2: to women in wrestling, and how you can have people
Speaker 2: like John Cena and how you can have people like
Speaker 2: cm Punk you know, make their comebacks and nobody, you know,
Speaker 2: bat's an eye about it and everybody's happy and celebrating it.
Speaker 2: Whereas you'll have women like Mickey James or you know,
Speaker 2: women even like Charlotte you know, who will reach a
Speaker 2: certain age and she admitted that she's almost forty. You know,
Speaker 2: and then they'll be like, oh, you need to retire,
Speaker 2: Oh you need to hang it up, and all this
Speaker 2: other stuff. So beyond tell me how you feel in
Speaker 2: terms of agism when it comes to women in wrestling,
Speaker 2: and how do you think the notion should be changed
Speaker 2: in the fandom and also from the perspective of people
Speaker 2: in charge of things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she makes a really good point about that. You
Speaker 4: talk about how her father is a nature boy and
Speaker 4: he's still wrestling at what eighty and no one has
Speaker 4: a problem with that seventy eighty. Well he's an elder anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you talk about, yeah, he's still wrestling. He retired how
Speaker 4: many times? And he came back how many times? So
Speaker 4: why it's and I hate how sexist that sounds.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: You talk about John c and I talk about Sampunk
Speaker 4: who by by two men I who. I love my heroes,
Speaker 4: But I digress. Yeah, I just swearh that this, this,
Speaker 4: this could stock, this, this could stop and I am
Speaker 4: happy that shut that or miss Flear or actually if
Speaker 4: you will. The woman behind the Charlotte Flair persona addressed
Speaker 4: this because yeah, it's we're in twenty twenty five. It's
Speaker 4: a it's things there's progress, but with no one is
Speaker 4: too old to do anything. If you like something and
Speaker 4: you enjoy it, go for it. You're never too old,
Speaker 4: you know, you're never to Yeah, never too old. As
Speaker 4: long as you're not on your back, you can do anything.
Speaker 4: You can do anything. You said your mind too. Who
Speaker 4: says that you Who says that no one's still old
Speaker 4: to dream? And I don't. I don't care how old
Speaker 4: you are. But yeah, it's it's just very sexists in
Speaker 4: a way that men can have this privilege of continuing
Speaker 4: what they love and there's a problem with women talking
Speaker 4: about and there's like a talking like talking about Oh,
Speaker 4: you're you're getting up, you're getting up there. I aren't
Speaker 4: you going to have kids? H you don't want to
Speaker 4: have kids? So yeah, it's it's it's it's an issue
Speaker 4: that I wish men could realize that it's an issue.
Speaker 4: That that meant that I wish more men. I can realize
Speaker 4: how much of a problem that is it has and
Speaker 4: something needs to change. So I'm happy we're having this evolution.
Speaker 4: We're having evolution too on Saturday Saturday. This could not
Speaker 4: have come at a better time. Yeah, those are my thoughts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I absolutely agree with you, you know, and it's
Speaker 2: just and it's just in the editorial, she was saying
Speaker 2: that she feels like, you know, she felt this way
Speaker 2: after she wrestled Ria Ripley at Wresseming in thirty nine
Speaker 2: in LA. That was one of the best matches I've
Speaker 2: ever seen, and she stated that she felt like she,
Speaker 2: you know, she's just reaching like her highest point. I'm
Speaker 2: just paraphrasing, and honestly, you know, with the way that
Speaker 2: she performed that night, I could definitely say, you know,
Speaker 2: that was a very fair, as you know, observation to
Speaker 2: make about herself and knowing that she's only just reaching,
Speaker 2: you know, the best part of herself. And the fact
Speaker 2: that that that many people feel that, oh, well, you're
Speaker 2: reaching a certain age and that has to stop is
Speaker 2: absolutely ridiculous because I mean, you have people like you
Speaker 2: have wrestlers like DDP, you know, who started relatively late
Speaker 2: in his wrestling career and he became a World Heavyweight
Speaker 2: Champion a WCW. Yeah, and you know, and he's told
Speaker 2: his story history has been documented you multiple times. So
Speaker 2: it's just like, I feel like we need to stop
Speaker 2: placing limits on people like and I feel like that
Speaker 2: call goes for all of sports, not even just in wrestling,
Speaker 2: but in all of sports. So yeah, because it's even
Speaker 2: weird when people talk about certain people in sports and
Speaker 2: be like, oh, well they're forty, they need to stop.
Speaker 2: And I'm just sitting here like, well, what if they
Speaker 2: don't feel like they need to stop. What if they're
Speaker 2: taking care of themselves in such a way that they
Speaker 2: feel like they could go on until maybe they're fifty,
Speaker 2: you know, like like that is a possibility. Like the
Speaker 2: human mind and the human body can't be limited by
Speaker 2: you know, contructs. So yeah, Charlotte was sorry, you go ahead.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Charlotte was fought on with what she said
Speaker 2: in terms of that, and I appreciate and applaud you know,
Speaker 2: her being so vulnerable in the way that she was
Speaker 2: on this weekend of all weekends, Like it just made
Speaker 2: so much sense and I'm grateful for that. And then
Speaker 2: on top of that, you know, with more of the
Speaker 2: growth of the women we've seen, we also have Miss
Speaker 2: Mercedes Manet, who of course is you know who. After
Speaker 2: her debut, she went on to become you know, a
Speaker 2: multi time Raw women's champion, a one time SmackDown Women's champion,
Speaker 2: multi time tag team champion, and the first one of
Speaker 2: the first black women to ever main event WrestleMania, won
Speaker 2: an sb Award for you know said thing, and then
Speaker 2: of course, like her and Naomi struck out on their
Speaker 2: own and now look at her with all of the
Speaker 2: titles six I can't. I feel like it's well documented
Speaker 2: on the show how much I love her. She is
Speaker 2: my favorite female wrestler. She is just you know, she's
Speaker 2: just a she's a business, she's a brand. She she's
Speaker 2: the standard, she's the blueprint. You know, she has all
Speaker 2: of these titles. She never rests on her laurels. She
Speaker 2: never just stays in the box that people try to
Speaker 2: place her in. And I'm just really grateful that even
Speaker 2: on this weekend, though she might not be a part
Speaker 2: of Evolution, she is and she did stay it on
Speaker 2: Instagram Live that she is happy that Evolution is happenings.
Speaker 2: She's set to make history in her own way by
Speaker 2: challenging Tony Storm timeless Tony Storm for the aw Women's
Speaker 2: World Championship at All in Texas, which is a huge
Speaker 2: deal in my opinion. I felt like that match should
Speaker 2: main event that pay per view, But that's neither here
Speaker 2: nor there. But yeah, just seeing her evolution and seeing
Speaker 2: how she has made herself into who she felt like
Speaker 2: she always should have been, because it could be argued
Speaker 2: that with all the history that she made, with all
Speaker 2: the first evers that she had in WWB, like her
Speaker 2: and Charlotte had multiple matches, they were the first women
Speaker 2: to ever main event a main roster payerview at Helena
Speaker 2: self like the first woman to have I believe in
Speaker 2: No holds bar match to main event on Monday Night Raw,
Speaker 2: like they did so much. And for all of that
Speaker 2: that she has done, there was just so much that
Speaker 2: wasn't given that was due to her, and I feel
Speaker 2: like she's just now getting it all and she deserves
Speaker 2: it all. So it's it's nuts. It's just so nuts
Speaker 2: how timing works in that regard.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then of course you have this Becky Lynch,
Speaker 5: who was just the man who you know, became undeniable
Speaker 5: in her own right by standing up for herself and
Speaker 5: asking how come I can't be the top dog?
Speaker 2: If she made herself the top dog and now she's
Speaker 2: you know, main invented a WrestleMania one of the first
Speaker 2: women to ever do so. With Charlotte and Monda Rousey,
Speaker 2: and now she's the women's Intercontinental champion. And it's crazy
Speaker 2: when you think about history, because at that time when
Speaker 2: she debuted, the women did not really have a mid
Speaker 2: car title, they didn't have tag team titles, they didn't
Speaker 2: have the Icy or the United States Championship like they
Speaker 2: were all just you know, fighting for visibility and fighting
Speaker 2: for the Divas Championship, which then of course changed, right.
Speaker 2: So and then you have Becky who has gone on
Speaker 2: to do all these things, become a mother, become an author,
Speaker 2: all of the things. So it's just insane what happens
Speaker 2: in ten years.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I actually met her about two years ago for
Speaker 4: her really her book, when her when her book released,
Speaker 4: she had a signing out Barnes and Noble in Los Angeles,
Speaker 4: and I was one of the first people there. Well, yeah,
Speaker 4: was one of the first people there. Yeah, I was
Speaker 4: one of the first few, not the first few, but
Speaker 4: I was there. And yeah, she was culture very nice.
Speaker 4: I remember her, I remember tailor her my name, she says, Bianca.
Speaker 4: I never met at Bianca. I don't like so.
Speaker 2: Clockey.
Speaker 4: It was so fun meeting her. She was so nice
Speaker 4: and sweet. So yeah, I tower her a little bit.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm a giant. I'm only five ten, five eleven,
Speaker 4: but yeah, me, and yeah, she was very nice and sweet.
Speaker 2: I'm so happy. I'm so happy you met her. I've
Speaker 2: never met her, but I did have someone on my
Speaker 2: show who really loves her, Stephanie Hypes. She's a wrestling
Speaker 2: writer for Bodyslam dot Net and she's the Yeah, she
Speaker 2: is the biggest Becky Lynchman. And you know, like their
Speaker 2: connection is very strong and very deep, like the way
Speaker 2: I love Mercedes. She loves Becky and I love Becky too,
Speaker 2: So it's just like seeing people have those moments is
Speaker 2: very you know, heartwarming, you know, in and of itself.
Speaker 2: You know, I've been in the same room with Becky
Speaker 2: a couple of times in terms of wrestling events and
Speaker 2: just you know, seeing her in press conferences, so that's cool.
Speaker 2: But you know, especially this WrestleMania, so I mean that
Speaker 2: was fun. But you know, I've never actually had a
Speaker 2: chance to meet her. I would love to. I would
Speaker 2: also love to meet her child too, because Rude just
Speaker 2: seems like such a cute baby. It's such a cool girl.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, ask.
Speaker 4: You something, mane. Let's I'm gonna go about real quick.
Speaker 4: You talk about you've done like media for wrestling events,
Speaker 4: like seeing the wrestlers in the conference. How is that
Speaker 4: like is it or is it just are they keeping
Speaker 4: character after when they go off?
Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like this is a conversation
Speaker 2: we'll have to have offline. Okay, okay, offline. That is
Speaker 2: an offline conversation. But I will say this, it is
Speaker 2: surreal to be there and face the people and be
Speaker 2: in the same room as the people who you watch
Speaker 2: on a constant basis. It's beautiful and it's an amazing
Speaker 2: opportunity that I'm blessed to have had multiple times. And
Speaker 2: it's it's very surreal, it really is. But you do
Speaker 2: have to be present for yourself in that and and
Speaker 2: that opportunity. That's what I will say. But yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: and being in there with Becky Lynch when she won
Speaker 2: the tag titles with Lyra Valkyria, and being there with
Speaker 2: Rue who was talking about how much she loves Blueing
Speaker 2: now and not Pepa Pinck. That was really funny. Like
Speaker 2: Becky has really become like I can tell she has
Speaker 2: so much fun being a mother, Like I love it,
Speaker 2: like I love seeing her be a mother and just
Speaker 2: seeing her dote on her daughter and just you know,
Speaker 2: encourage her in the best of ways. It's beautiful, you know,
Speaker 2: from one generation of womanhood to the next, and it's
Speaker 2: just a very beautiful thing. And it's it's great to
Speaker 2: see moments like that in real time. Yes, I love
Speaker 2: how she just loves on her and encourages her. It's
Speaker 2: very beautiful. So announce her pregnancy, Oh yes, I love
Speaker 2: the way she announced her pregnancy too, Oscar.
Speaker 4: I always think if there was I wish there was
Speaker 4: a crowd. Oh my god, that pop would have been loud.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it would have It would have so weird. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it was so surreal at that time, and that
Speaker 2: was when my podcast first started. It was right before
Speaker 2: the pandemic. But as you know, it was really awkward.
Speaker 2: I will tell you this because we didn't know each
Speaker 2: other then, so it was really awkward starting my wrestling
Speaker 2: podcast thinking everything was going to be normal, and then
Speaker 2: March twenty twenty hits and then it just shifts over
Speaker 2: and having to be separated from everybody and everything to
Speaker 2: a degree, and then watching wrestling at that time, I
Speaker 2: just held on to it because I knew, I because
Speaker 2: I know that in the toughest of times, wrestling has
Speaker 2: gotten me through and it's given me something to focus on.
Speaker 2: And having that podcast, you know, just fed into having
Speaker 2: this show fed into that a little bit more because
Speaker 2: I was able to work on something and create a
Speaker 2: community online and react to moments like that where she
Speaker 2: gave Oscar the title because she was having a baby,
Speaker 2: Like I felt like I wasn't alone during a time
Speaker 2: of which during a time of isolation. So, you know,
Speaker 2: even though it would have been amazing for her to
Speaker 2: make that announcement, you know, in normal circumstances, I'm still
Speaker 2: grateful that, you know, we had the moment for what
Speaker 2: it was, even though it's surreal to think about now.
Speaker 2: But and I hope we never go through anything like
Speaker 2: that again. Lord, But but my gosh, I was, but
Speaker 2: my gosh for the moment of end time that in
Speaker 2: which it was. It still brought a lot of Joiney
Speaker 2: and and just seeing you know, Becky embrace that and
Speaker 2: then also come back and still be you know, the
Speaker 2: man that we know her to be after going through
Speaker 2: something like that and working her way back to being
Speaker 2: you know, a wrestler, and then doubling both you know
Speaker 2: and not and showing that you don't have to give
Speaker 2: up your career in order to be a mother, Like
Speaker 2: I love that. I love seeing that example play out.
Speaker 2: So Nick absolutely, oh yes, and Nikki every woman that's
Speaker 2: ever done it, since we're celebrating womanhood here on this show,
Speaker 2: it's it's perfect with Nicki, you know, doing it, Alexa
Speaker 2: Bliss doing it, like so many, like even Maurice doing it,
Speaker 2: you know, even though you know she had even though
Speaker 2: she may have wrestled, you know, just one match in
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, like her tagging with the
Speaker 2: Miz after her having her two girls, Like it's amazing.
Speaker 2: I love seeing women bounce, you know, have babies, you know,
Speaker 2: be true to that level of their womanhood and then
Speaker 2: be real about their purpose in life like before their
Speaker 2: woman their motherhood, Like it's beautiful. Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2: I love seeing stuff like that. And even if they
Speaker 2: chose not to do it anymore, you know, that's their right,
Speaker 2: but it's still a beautiful thing. And with Bree as well,
Speaker 2: like all just I just love every form of womanhood
Speaker 2: that you get to see expressed in women's wrestling nowadays because.
Speaker 4: The women don't tear the women down, of.
Speaker 2: Course, absolutely, so it's it's a wonderful time to see
Speaker 2: the evolution of these women and seeing them become the
Speaker 2: fullest version of themselves while also being these larger than
Speaker 2: live athletes. It's really great. Really, So in moving away,
Speaker 2: you know, from that subject and moving to this subject,
Speaker 2: you did sort of allude to sort of the build
Speaker 2: too evolution this year with it's sort of seemingly coming
Speaker 2: together in the last two weeks before matches being made
Speaker 2: of course, with the first man being made on NXT,
Speaker 2: which is a show that I absolutely love and adore,
Speaker 2: and I love the way that they showcase their women
Speaker 2: absolutely you know, with the first match being announced on NXT,
Speaker 2: but then not hearing anything from the main roster for
Speaker 2: a while until after Night of Champions and everything else
Speaker 2: like that. I mean, for me, that's just kind of
Speaker 2: how I've internalized it. That's how it felt like for me,
Speaker 2: because for while we knew it's like they announced evolution
Speaker 2: was happening, but then they were getting everything together for
Speaker 2: Night of Champions first, because that was the first paper
Speaker 2: of you coming before that, and then an NXT of
Speaker 2: course had their qualifier to see who would be the
Speaker 2: number one contender, of course, with Jordan Grace winning, and
Speaker 2: after that it was maybe a week before it was
Speaker 2: like a week and then it was like Night of Champions,
Speaker 2: and then after Night of Champions was really when they
Speaker 2: started pushing towards Evolution a bit more.
Speaker 4: No way took that long. So Michael's is doing a
Speaker 4: great job. Yeah for him to do that first and now, wow,
Speaker 4: I never realized that, o'h. My goodness.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, and a lot of there was a lot
Speaker 2: of discourse about it online in terms of people feeling
Speaker 2: like Evolution as a pay per view was well as
Speaker 2: a premium live a van. I'm sorry, I'm a child
Speaker 2: at the nineties. I'm like, I keep doubling back and
Speaker 2: going back and forth between pay per view and PLA, y'all.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but it's.
Speaker 4: Just I can't say, Paul of that, I say triple.
Speaker 2: A, so oh, I say triple A is true, Like
Speaker 2: I you know, it's just a thing, but it's just,
Speaker 2: you know, there's been a lot of discourse about fans
Speaker 2: sort of feeling like they feel like Evolution was sort
Speaker 2: of given the short end of the stick, talking about
Speaker 2: you know, the certain bill to certain matches and wondering
Speaker 2: how come there couldn't be more of a story put
Speaker 2: towards it, even though there are some stories put towards
Speaker 2: some of the matches that we will get to later
Speaker 2: on the show, and sort of feeling like they felt
Speaker 2: like maybe people behind the scenes were trying to sabotage
Speaker 2: it by putting it right next to an NXY event
Speaker 2: and Saturday Night's main event where they keep talking about
Speaker 2: Goldberg versus gold Ter and stuff like that. And I'll
Speaker 2: talk about how I feel about it in a minute,
Speaker 2: but Beyonca, I want to know what your feelings are
Speaker 2: about it, innocence, and then I'll talk about how I
Speaker 2: felt about it.
Speaker 4: About the about evolution that getting the attention deserves m okay,
Speaker 4: or about the build of the or the build of
Speaker 4: the matches or whatever. Yeah, So, like from what like
Speaker 4: I said before, like the women, I wish there was
Speaker 4: more attention to this woman's all womens speak of you
Speaker 4: the way w REE promotes all the all male pay
Speaker 4: per views. I remember back in the day, the woman,
Speaker 4: I remember Total Divas. Actually there was a segment I
Speaker 4: think it was WrestleMania their match got cut for a
Speaker 4: men's match, so I remember that clearly it was Naomi
Speaker 4: the Bella's I believe Hage or something.
Speaker 2: But I just.
Speaker 4: I'm happy this progress. I'm happy it's getting traction. But
Speaker 4: I wish this, I wish this there was no more storylines. Well,
Speaker 4: because I feel like it's building up. It's barely getting
Speaker 4: built up with we have to status with having her
Speaker 4: first match, and it's and it's and and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's just it's just sad that it's not getting the
Speaker 4: attention that it deserves to have, being this monumental paper
Speaker 4: pay per view or p L or if if you will,
Speaker 4: mm hmm. Now I'm just rambling, but I'll but well,
Speaker 4: like I said, I wish it was I wish it
Speaker 4: didn't take this, it would build up months in advance
Speaker 4: and keep building up.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: And I and to a degree, I agree with that
Speaker 2: sentiment because you know, I guess because due to my excitement,
Speaker 2: my personal excitement about it, it was just like okay,
Speaker 2: evolution or bust. You know, that was sort of what
Speaker 2: my feelings were about it, And those are those feelings
Speaker 2: of excitement were very valid, of course, and I will
Speaker 2: never take away the feelings of anyone else, especially you
Speaker 2: or any other fan about how they feel about this
Speaker 2: pay per view not getting the full attention that it deserves.
Speaker 2: I'll never take that away. And even with the purposefulness
Speaker 2: of the date of it, I I do wish that
Speaker 2: there was a little bit of more meat behind the stories,
Speaker 2: but I don't think they were trying to sabotage it either.
Speaker 2: Is it okay to have like I want to have
Speaker 2: a little bit of nuance to the conversation as opposed
Speaker 2: to like it just being black and white, because I
Speaker 2: feel like, of course, like I mentioned earlier, the date
Speaker 2: of it is very purposeful, with it being the tenth
Speaker 2: anniversary of the Women's Revolution starting, I feel like that's fine,
Speaker 2: and that was beautiful, And of course they have that
Speaker 2: weird pocket of time where a Saudi Arabia show is
Speaker 2: gonna happen and a Saudi Arabia show is there, and
Speaker 2: that's a little bit awkward timing and whatnot. But at
Speaker 2: the same time, you know, I do there is a
Speaker 2: level of storytelling for the women that I do wish
Speaker 2: was given, But I also can't sit here and pretend that.
Speaker 2: Of course, of course we did sort of have the
Speaker 2: Nikki Bella and live of it all that could have happened.
Speaker 2: But Live got injured and there's really nothing that could
Speaker 2: have been done about that because I was a freak accident.
Speaker 2: Accidents happened, So, you know, we hate that stuff like
Speaker 2: that happens, but that's just the truth. But I also
Speaker 2: feel that there was still so much more in terms
Speaker 2: of timing and story and pacing that could have been
Speaker 2: given towards these matches. But I also feel that there
Speaker 2: were other stories that were still taking place that we
Speaker 2: are seeing coalesce at this event that still feeds into,
Speaker 2: you know, the greatness of the event. Even though it
Speaker 2: could be argued that some of it was some of
Speaker 2: the matches were just kind of like, oh, well, I'm
Speaker 2: choosing this opponent, and you could say that it was
Speaker 2: sort of thrown together in the way that they're having
Speaker 2: these people choose their opponents. But at the same time,
Speaker 2: I do love that the women, that the women's champions
Speaker 2: have a choice, you know, and it's not just oh well,
Speaker 2: let's just throw this together this and you're gonna go
Speaker 2: against this person. And it's not just a general manager
Speaker 2: telling them a man, you know, telling them you're gonna
Speaker 2: face this person. It's a woman saying, you know, I
Speaker 2: want to face this person because and I feel like
Speaker 2: it's just a lot of new ones to it. But
Speaker 2: I'm not taking away anybody's feelings at all, because there
Speaker 2: was a lot better beefyness and storytelling that could have happened,
Speaker 2: that could happen with the women that I see in
Speaker 2: terms of the men, because the story with seth Rolins
Speaker 2: and Roman and seampunk, I want to send the bloodline like,
Speaker 2: I want to see a story like that happen with
Speaker 2: the women, Like yeah, there's more of that that I
Speaker 2: do want to see, Like I want to see, you know,
Speaker 2: more of like a rivalry of best friends fighting each other,
Speaker 2: like the way Kevin Owens and Sammy's Ain't do. Like yeah, Like,
Speaker 2: I don't want everything to just be, you know, short term,
Speaker 2: which is another thing that Charlotte did kind of mention
Speaker 2: in her editorial in terms of equality of time that
Speaker 2: the women should have in terms of story and that
Speaker 2: and that feeds into evolution as well, but it does
Speaker 2: not take away from the point. I just don't want
Speaker 2: all of the anger and the discourse to take away
Speaker 2: from the point of celebrating where the women have come. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: does that make sense it does.
Speaker 4: I had a thought that that you said something that, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: that that thinks me to what I've been saying. I
Speaker 4: wish I wish this was I wish this pay per
Speaker 4: view had you talk about how which that women had
Speaker 4: more the same segments the way that we see and
Speaker 4: like we see you see the more the men. I'm said,
Speaker 4: when y'all hold on, yeah, you talk about like how
Speaker 4: you wish you saw there would be more storylines with
Speaker 4: best friend rivalries and yeah, Kevin and and Sammy, that's
Speaker 4: that's what that's that brings me to like what I've
Speaker 4: been like what I've been saying, like I wish the storyline,
Speaker 4: the storylines and this and the evolution was have a
Speaker 4: bigger build up to what we're seeing evolved right now.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4: The woman have potential and I feel like WW today
Speaker 4: is like I don't want to say, dimming the light
Speaker 4: of what they can really do, but like, at the
Speaker 4: same time, it's feeling that way. You know, does that
Speaker 4: make sense? It's because yeah, this.
Speaker 2: Progress, but it's slow, slow progress, right, yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 2: a lot and people can argue you know that slow,
Speaker 2: that slow progress is it's still progress, but at the
Speaker 2: same time. You know, there's progress that could still happen
Speaker 2: because you know something interesting that I did notice even
Speaker 2: last night we're watching NXT. You know, you had the
Speaker 2: Battle Royal that's supposed to be happening that we will discuss.
Speaker 2: You have all these women you know in the room,
Speaker 2: and you had Julia standing there with the women's United
Speaker 2: States championship, and then you also had Zelina sort of
Speaker 2: you know, standing on the floor, who is another fave
Speaker 2: of mine, well documented and it's just and you have
Speaker 2: you know, those two who have.
Speaker 4: We got technical difficulties. Everyone Miss Hardy has left the building.
Speaker 2: But okay, I'm sorry. You have Zelena who's been sort
Speaker 2: of alluding to sort of a darker Turn, like why
Speaker 2: can't we see that darker Turn? Then has not aired yet,
Speaker 2: so we don't know exactly how her getting a rematch
Speaker 2: for that title is going to coalesce. So I will
Speaker 2: give them time. But if she, you know, is not
Speaker 2: doing this dark Turn immediately or I or if she's
Speaker 2: not you know, having a match of evolution, like like
Speaker 2: what is the payoff from that? Like there there is
Speaker 2: definitely something more that could happen with that. Dallas Cash
Speaker 2: is watching he's from the Humble Roses. He's watching us.
Speaker 2: He's saying hey, hey, and he's also saying hey to you.
Speaker 4: Oh I like your avatar. Okay, break, okay, dreads, Okay,
Speaker 4: face with hair see you.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he has an insane face card. But yeah,
Speaker 2: check out the Humble Roses, y'all. But thank you for
Speaker 2: watching Dallas. But yeah, like, there's there's a lot there's
Speaker 2: a lot of progress that has been made, but there's
Speaker 2: still so much more progress that could be made in
Speaker 2: terms of the women and the amount of story that
Speaker 2: they do get to tell that a lot of the
Speaker 2: men do get to tell. And they deserve equality of time,
Speaker 2: just like and equality of opportunity as well, and not
Speaker 2: just it on paper and just And that's not to
Speaker 2: say that there hasn't been great stuff that has happened,
Speaker 2: but at the same time, there's still so much more
Speaker 2: progress and hopefully more of it can start here, you know,
Speaker 2: at evolution happening.
Speaker 4: I feel like around the wrestling world it's happening. We
Speaker 4: have Wow, we have.
Speaker 2: So well that's that.
Speaker 4: Shouldn't be an excuse not to build these women's pay
Speaker 4: per views to their full potential. This is so so Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'll be watching, but yeah, I've just speed. Yeah, so
Speaker 4: much work to be done, but yeah, these women deserve better.
Speaker 4: I know that this is like the best women's division
Speaker 4: I've seen in quite some time. Though, And about and
Speaker 4: is it in the past evolution? Was it raw and
Speaker 4: and and SmackDown or is it raw SmackDown n XT
Speaker 4: like how it is now?
Speaker 2: It was it was Raw SmackDown and nx C and
Speaker 2: also n x t U K because they had a
Speaker 2: dark match. Yeah, they had a dark match between Rha
Speaker 2: Ripley and Dakota Kai for the n x C UK
Speaker 2: Women's Championship, which is of course defunct now, but they
Speaker 2: had a dark mass before Evolution itself started. And then
Speaker 2: of course Ria Ripley was in the may On Classic
Speaker 2: that year because that was the last year they had it.
Speaker 2: But she did not wink. She didn't win that year,
Speaker 2: but she watched the match, and she was on Evolution
Speaker 2: in terms of an audience member watching it, but she
Speaker 2: wasn't a part of the show proper as we know it.
Speaker 2: So it was NXT. Also because you also had Kyrie
Speaker 2: Saying as the NXC Women's Champion fighting Shana Baysler.
Speaker 4: Wow okay, oh wow, yeah.
Speaker 2: And then and then of course you had Becky and
Speaker 2: Charlotte fight in a last woman's standing for the SmackDown
Speaker 2: Women's title, and then you had Nikki Bella and Ronda
Speaker 2: Rousey fighting for the rowan this title. So every show
Speaker 2: was represented.
Speaker 4: When was when was the Oh that was NXT. I'm
Speaker 4: talking about that match between Daily and SASA, that iconic match, and.
Speaker 2: That was on nx T. That was nx Takeover Brooklyn.
Speaker 4: Okay, wow, Brooklyn.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: I just started watching religious NXT religiously like a year
Speaker 4: or two ago. So happy I'm watching because nx C
Speaker 4: is amazing and deserves better, Babe.
Speaker 3: N x T.
Speaker 2: Man, it was a time where nx T pay per
Speaker 2: views would come on before the larger main roster pay
Speaker 2: per views and it would make us wonder how in
Speaker 2: the world did they follow it?
Speaker 5: Mmm?
Speaker 2: And it's nuts. And the level of nx T has
Speaker 2: changed now, of course, because the talent has changed, but
Speaker 2: the level of excellence still remains the same. And I
Speaker 2: recommend nx C to anybody, But I am happy that
Speaker 2: you're getting into it though.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's great because because it just serves as a watching
Speaker 2: path for so many things creatively it's just so beautiful.
Speaker 2: I love the show. I always have loved it.
Speaker 6: So yeah, oh yeah, you know what, I would be
Speaker 6: so serious and you do and now I'm just you
Speaker 6: just cracking that, okay.
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 4: Oh oh yeah, I love my god.
Speaker 2: I hadn't exactly it was. He is so hilarious and
Speaker 2: and he he deserves the world. I love that, man.
Speaker 2: I love Booker t Darrel, I love it. I love
Speaker 2: him that. That's the OG. But yeah, NXT is great.
Speaker 2: And in speaking about NXT, we are now at the
Speaker 2: point of our show. But we're gonna give our Evolution
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five predictions. Hello, hello, because because Sunday, it's
Speaker 2: game time. Okay exeople, Yes, it's Bianca's birth and it
Speaker 2: is game time up and here, and of course evolution
Speaker 2: will em and a from Atlanta, Georgia, the Dirty South.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Atlanta, where the play is playing, and that's
Speaker 2: where it's happening at the State Farm Arena right across
Speaker 2: from Mercedes Benz, a historic town in wrestling as a
Speaker 2: whole birthplace at WCW all the things. So now that
Speaker 2: we've gotten that part out of the way, it's time
Speaker 2: it gets cracking with the predictions. So, in terms of
Speaker 2: talking about NXT, we have the NXT Women's Championship on
Speaker 2: the line between j C. Jane, one of the most
Speaker 2: surprising NXT Women's champions of all time, not in terms
Speaker 2: of talent, but just in terms of just her journey
Speaker 2: in and where she's ben going up against someone who
Speaker 2: I consider a pillar of women's wrestling and its evolution,
Speaker 2: Jordan Grace. I was very happy to see that Jordan
Speaker 2: got this opportun on a personal level because the first
Speaker 2: time I saw her in person was for a match
Speaker 2: I got to commentate for hear in Gas in Alabama
Speaker 2: at the Belladonna Division, which was an all female show,
Speaker 2: and yeah, and she was in TNA and her and
Speaker 2: Jazz had attacked team and she was so beautiful to me,
Speaker 2: and she was just really nice, and I just loved
Speaker 2: working with her and just watching her fight Renee Michelle,
Speaker 2: like that was just one of the most insane things
Speaker 2: I'd ever seen, and just watching her work, I just
Speaker 2: knew she was gonna be in WW someday. I knew it.
Speaker 2: I felt it in my bones, And just as sure
Speaker 2: as we're alive and breathing, here she is. And for
Speaker 2: her to be a part of you know, the historic
Speaker 2: TNA Knockouts Division and everything they've done for women's wrestling,
Speaker 2: even before the you know revolution happened in WWE. It
Speaker 2: just means a lot that someone who was birthed from
Speaker 2: TNA gets to be a part of this. So I'm
Speaker 2: happy about this. So Bianco, what is your prediction for
Speaker 2: this Women's Championship match between JAYC Jane and Jordan Grace.
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, let me say this. I remember
Speaker 4: when I first saw Jordan Grace her those muscles, Oh
Speaker 4: my god. And then I see this photo of her
Speaker 4: doing her bodybuilding and this is one picture I remember.
Speaker 4: I can't get out of my mind. She's Oh my gosh,
Speaker 4: she was extremely dark. I thought she was black.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I it was.
Speaker 4: Chris Ventley posted it a picture of an old picture
Speaker 4: of her and Cody Rhodes and now and and I can't.
Speaker 4: I'm confused. I'm I'm I'm still lost. Is she black
Speaker 4: or is she white?
Speaker 2: No, she's white, she's white, because she's that was just
Speaker 2: a really good tan I would imagine. But yeah, she's
Speaker 2: she's she is a white woman.
Speaker 4: Because I was like, is she going through a Sammy
Speaker 4: Sosa face? Like what was going on?
Speaker 2: No, like, she she's a black woman, I mean, not
Speaker 2: a black woman. I'm sorry, she's a white woman. She's
Speaker 2: a white woman. Yes, okay, okay, no, it's fine. But
Speaker 2: so now that I got that out of the way,
Speaker 2: I'm not too.
Speaker 4: Familiar with with J C. James. Oh, I know they're
Speaker 4: part of fail Influence.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, she is a part of Fatal Influence with
Speaker 2: Fallid Henley and Jasmin Icks.
Speaker 4: I will give it to Jordan Grace only because like
Speaker 4: look at her, like just do you see those muscles,
Speaker 4: Like Jordan's got this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would agree because here lately on NXCC,
Speaker 2: you did, you know, kind of just get into it
Speaker 2: and stuff. Since Jordan has been on NXC, she's had
Speaker 2: multiple chances at the Women's Championship, and she has been
Speaker 2: a multi time TNA Knockouts champion and so you know,
Speaker 2: it could be assumed. And she was also a Digital
Speaker 2: Media champion as well in TNA, so everyone sort of
Speaker 2: expected that at some point she was going to win
Speaker 2: this title, but she has not. It's like it's always
Speaker 2: been held by these women who just had her number.
Speaker 2: And I feel like this right here would be the
Speaker 2: perfect opportunity for her to win, but then you can't.
Speaker 2: But then you also can't discount the craftiness of jac
Speaker 2: Jane because she is also gifted athletically, but she has
Speaker 2: the X factors of her faction members too, and Shenanigan's
Speaker 2: could be afoot, but I hope it wouldn't go that
Speaker 2: way because of course, Jordan. There is a tag team
Speaker 2: match that is happening on nxc's Great America Bash on
Speaker 2: Saturday between Jordan Grace and Blake Monroe known as Mariah
Speaker 2: May going up against Fatal Influence too. So I'm wondering
Speaker 2: if Blake Monroe will be there for her or will
Speaker 2: we see you know, a TNA knockout presence who could
Speaker 2: be there to be in Jordan Grace's corner. Like, that's
Speaker 2: what I'm predicting. I'm predicting that maybe Blake Monroe or
Speaker 2: a TNA knockout could be in her corner and she
Speaker 2: would win.
Speaker 4: I don't yeah, I don't have access to it. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I hear great things. So and I know that
Speaker 4: NXT and TNA are I mean, yeah, I have collaborated,
Speaker 4: So that's really that's very cool. So yeah, again I'm
Speaker 4: on Jordan's I'm on team Jordan Grace on this one.
Speaker 2: Me too, I am on team Jordan Grace for this
Speaker 2: one too. Well.
Speaker 4: When controversial, it.
Speaker 2: Was controversial because Fallon Henley interfered on her behalf against
Speaker 2: Stephanie Vacker, and Jace covered her for the one to
Speaker 2: hit her finisher after Fallon kicked her and then hit
Speaker 2: the one, two three, And that was what it was
Speaker 2: like that. Then on top of that, she also came
Speaker 2: from another faction since we're talking women's history too, because
Speaker 2: ja C Jane was sort of in this other faction
Speaker 2: called Toxic Attraction with Mandy with Mandy Sacks formally known
Speaker 2: as Mandy Rose Yes and Priscilla Kelly formerly known as
Speaker 2: Gigi Dolan, and she was a multi time tag team
Speaker 2: champion with Gigi. But she but nobody ever, nobody in
Speaker 2: the fandom ever imagined that she would win the championship
Speaker 2: in this way. So when she did, not only the
Speaker 2: way she wanted, but just the fact that she wanted
Speaker 2: was just like what And then the way that she
Speaker 2: beat Stephanie too was just like what? Everybody thought that
Speaker 2: Stephane was gonna be NXCY champion forever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, me too. Yeah, yeah, it was crazy. I
Speaker 4: hope she gets another title run the titled that that
Speaker 4: belt let's get on her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does look good on her, but we are
Speaker 2: but I'm definitely predicting Jordan Grace as the winner to
Speaker 2: agree set things forward for her and her w W career.
Speaker 2: So I can't wait for this match. I'm excited. Oh who,
Speaker 2: And now we moved to predicting this w W Women's
Speaker 2: Championship match between Trish Stratus, Misstratisfaction, the Og the Legend
Speaker 2: going up against Tiffany Stratton. A Battle of the Blonde,
Speaker 2: if you will, another Battle of the Blonde that Tiffany
Speaker 2: has taking place in because of course her and Charlotte
Speaker 2: had a big match at WrestleMania which she won. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and she just defeated Naya Jackson the last Woman's Standing match,
Speaker 2: so ms, ma'am is on a roll. So I was
Speaker 2: definitely gagged when she, you know, challenged Trish because they
Speaker 2: were tag teaing partners at Elimination Chamber a few months ago,
Speaker 2: so I was just like, okay, So they're finding each
Speaker 2: other and this is Trish Stratus's first championship match in
Speaker 2: a number of years, so this is really interesting. I
Speaker 2: can't wait to see how this turns out. So, Bianca,
Speaker 2: what are your predictions for this match?
Speaker 4: Only I feel I hate that, m I hate that
Speaker 4: I'm thinking this. But if worst case scenario, Tiffany retains,
Speaker 4: but we have Naomi.
Speaker 2: M in the bank.
Speaker 4: So I believe that either if one of these two
Speaker 4: women win, Naomi will definitely cashin.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: I truly believe that. If not, I believe mhm, just
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I think I don't like what I'm
Speaker 4: saying is because of what she said about Charlotte, but
Speaker 4: I think she bean but then not for long, because
Speaker 4: I believe that Naomi will cash in successfully hm hmmm.
Speaker 4: And that's been on my mind for a long time.
Speaker 4: So yes, yeah, would you.
Speaker 2: Really think she would cash in on the same night
Speaker 2: she has some ratikins Jade, which is no holes bar.
Speaker 4: You don't proceed with caution, you never know she'll hit Yeah,
Speaker 4: right side ahead with that back of your head, with
Speaker 4: that briefcase without you and knowing that that's.
Speaker 2: Which just fabulous, by the way, that is gorgeous. Love it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, with all the tape and everything. That's I love that.
Speaker 4: But yeah, but then we have TriStrata. She likes my
Speaker 4: ring announcing video I did for her. Oh god, oh
Speaker 4: my god, oh just mmmm. I think then we go
Speaker 4: cash Okay, I think, so now is her match with
Speaker 4: Jay last?
Speaker 2: Oh I don't know the order.
Speaker 4: See that's the thing.
Speaker 2: We don't know the order, and and that's we don't
Speaker 2: but we don't.
Speaker 4: And this takes me back back. Okay, and this takes
Speaker 4: me back to like how I wish to build is
Speaker 4: more organized.
Speaker 2: So here's the thing, though, I feel like for every
Speaker 2: pay per view, we don't necessarily go in knowing all
Speaker 2: of the order. I feel like I feel like a
Speaker 2: lot of the time people be predicting the order of
Speaker 2: how they think it's gonna go, but ultimately it could
Speaker 2: wind up being something completely different. They might change up
Speaker 2: on us. So I don't think the order really has
Speaker 2: anything to do with it per se. So I feel
Speaker 2: like Tiffany, I feel like this is very interesting because
Speaker 2: at the last evolution, Trish was in a tag team
Speaker 2: match on Team Bestie with Leda going up against Mickey
Speaker 2: James and Alicia Fox slash of Victoria Crawford, And I
Speaker 2: think this is an interesting, you know, opportunity for her
Speaker 2: to have considering it's the twenty fifth, It's the twenty
Speaker 2: fifth anniversary of her wrestling career starting, and I feel
Speaker 2: like her celebrating that by having another championship opportunity would
Speaker 2: be amazing because she really was, you know, a girl
Speaker 2: out here who had multi time champion, multi championship rings,
Speaker 2: and for her to have another one that would be
Speaker 2: insane for me. I would love it, Loki, I would
Speaker 2: really love it. So I mean, hey, I also say, yeah,
Speaker 2: I also think that Lida will interfere.
Speaker 4: She would definitely come out to help Trish for sure,
Speaker 4: no question, tim bestie actually believe that if if that happens,
Speaker 4: I hope that Lida keeps naying on me from CAPSU.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's a part of me that is also
Speaker 2: predicting that Tiffany is going to retain. Though me too,
Speaker 2: and this is no Shae, because I love Trish Stratta
Speaker 2: is all the way down and I would love it
Speaker 2: if she won another championship. It would just be fantastic.
Speaker 2: But I am predicting that Tiffany Stradden is going to
Speaker 2: retain her title, and because she really has just been
Speaker 2: on a substantial tear recently, and yeah, I just feel
Speaker 2: like yeah, I just I feel like she's going to retain.
Speaker 2: But if Trisha won it, I wouldn't be mad because
Speaker 2: that's my girl, that's my girl from the nineties. If
Speaker 2: she won. But I can't wait to see the athleticism
Speaker 2: that she is going to give against someone like Tiffany,
Speaker 2: who is just crazy and talented. So it's going to
Speaker 2: be an interesting battle of the blondes. I can't wait.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be cool. So we have this Battle World
Speaker 2: that we did previously mention in the show, and of
Speaker 2: course the winner earns a championship match at Clash in Paris,
Speaker 2: which is taking place the week of my birthday. But
Speaker 2: will I be in Paris? No? Oh god, I wish.
Speaker 2: I wish I had the budget for a Paris trip,
Speaker 2: but I don't. One day we'll speak it, we'll speak
Speaker 2: it into existence. Yes, one day. So as it turns out,
Speaker 2: I have this in my notes. The participants in the
Speaker 2: Battle World that we know about right now are Nikki Bella,
Speaker 2: Ivy Nile, Stephanie Becker, Lash Legend, Jada Parker, Klonie, Jordan,
Speaker 2: Lola Ice, and Tatum Paxley. And of course when you
Speaker 2: have a Battle Royal, there are room. There is so
Speaker 2: much room. There's so many surprises that could be in store.
Speaker 2: You never know who could pop up, who could make
Speaker 2: an appearance, and all of the above. Oh lord, he
Speaker 2: could talk about aj and how WWE's YouTube channel has
Speaker 2: been releasing things about aj Lee in the last two days.
Speaker 2: We could talk about that. But I'm low key scared
Speaker 2: that they're getting my hopes up just to crash them.
Speaker 2: I don't I know, they're not obligated to care about
Speaker 2: my feelings in that way. But if she did come back,
Speaker 2: I'm popping, I'm screaming, I'm crying. And then you know,
Speaker 2: and then someone on Twitter predicted, you know, wouldn't it
Speaker 2: be cool if she came back to do commentary and
Speaker 2: that was and that would make me happy too, because
Speaker 2: she did a commentary on Wow for period of time
Speaker 2: and it was good. So I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to I'm trying to just just wait for
Speaker 2: whatever surprises could very well be in store. But Bianca,
Speaker 2: who do you think is first of all, gonna could
Speaker 2: show up for this thing? And number two, who do
Speaker 2: you think is gonna win it? Oh?
Speaker 4: Okay, who do I think will show up?
Speaker 2: What? We got a j.
Speaker 4: Who else is there? Maybe Sarriah will go back to
Speaker 4: page or maybe Britt Baker.
Speaker 2: Oh oh oh.
Speaker 4: I've been thinking Britt Baker for a long time now.
Speaker 2: Oh lord, that's a big one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be pull up.
Speaker 2: I think I gotta make an adjustment real quick. Britt
Speaker 2: Banker be.
Speaker 4: Britt Britt motherfucking paper paper from Baker from Still City.
Speaker 2: Doctor, the Good Doctor. Oh my god, that that would
Speaker 2: rip the Internet into into pieces if that happened. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure. I feel like that would that pop would
Speaker 2: rival the pop of c M coming back and and
Speaker 2: that and my ears took some time to recover from
Speaker 2: that because I was there for that. So it's just
Speaker 2: like my ears, what what? Yeah? When he was I'm
Speaker 2: not lying, I would lie.
Speaker 4: I'm serious. I didn't watch life.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. We're okay, we're talking. Okay, we'll talk
Speaker 2: about that offline though, but we're talking about the Yeah,
Speaker 2: we're talking about the women. But that would rival that.
Speaker 2: But doctor Baker, I mean considered, we don't know, you
Speaker 2: know what her status currently is, you know, I mean,
Speaker 2: that would be nuts. And even Paige, even Soraya coming
Speaker 2: back would be nuts too. So those are very substantial
Speaker 2: predictions that you're making for this Battle Roy, very substantial.
Speaker 4: For a long time.
Speaker 2: Now, very substantial.
Speaker 4: A j who else? Who else is there? Three Bella?
Speaker 2: I want Jazz.
Speaker 4: Jazz is cool. I'm getting to know her. She's cool.
Speaker 4: I can I swear well?
Speaker 2: I mean you already cursed earlier, so I mean it
Speaker 2: might as well.
Speaker 4: Let's let's pick their eyes. Let's say, ready, one, two, three, you.
Speaker 2: Didn't say it? Come on, I'm sorry, just no, okay?
Speaker 4: Uh yeah? A school. I like her. I like her
Speaker 4: ribe that'd be cool.
Speaker 2: Jazz, She's like, she's a very underrated icon and I
Speaker 2: feel like her. Her in that would would literally blow
Speaker 2: my mind to bits like oh my god, awesome cang, yes,
Speaker 2: Karma God, I would cry me too. I would cry,
Speaker 2: oh my god if if it was her. So all
Speaker 2: of these are very substantial, very substantial predictions. Now, who
Speaker 2: do you think is gonna wind?
Speaker 4: There's a few mm hmma. Ripley definitely has potential.
Speaker 2: Maria Ripley has a match.
Speaker 4: She does.
Speaker 2: She has a match on Evolution. She does, Yes, she does.
Speaker 2: She's not in the Battle world.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, my baby. Stephanie by Care definitely has potential.
Speaker 4: M Julian with those braids definitely has potential. Yeah, if
Speaker 4: Jade Cargill didn't have for match with Naomi, Jade Cargill
Speaker 4: has potential. Who's out there, Oh my god, there's a
Speaker 4: lot of women who's out there. The possibilities are endless. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and with all the women that they showed, you
Speaker 2: know that it's representing n XT too, like that could
Speaker 2: be a wild card. And then you also have you know,
Speaker 2: just just and even just the talent that we saw
Speaker 2: from the main roster last night, Like it could be nuts.
Speaker 2: You could have Natalia who could win. You could have
Speaker 2: Maxine Dupree who could win like that, that would be nuts.
Speaker 2: If Maxine won, I would love that because she did,
Speaker 2: you know, because she impressed me in the Royal Rumble
Speaker 2: and you know, I wish she would have stayed in
Speaker 2: the match a lot longer did she did, and issue
Speaker 2: is Royal Rumble, But it would be nuts if she wanted,
Speaker 2: I would love it. So she is funny and I
Speaker 2: and and she's just incredible. But ultimately, I think I'm
Speaker 2: predicting that Stephanie will win the Battle World because she
Speaker 2: has that whole international factor to it and just any
Speaker 2: match with her her versus EO, her versus or her
Speaker 2: versus anybody's is bound to be a good match. So
Speaker 2: I'm predicting that Stephanie Becker will win the Battle World
Speaker 2: and go to classroom.
Speaker 4: Perry. Now, let me ask you, what are your dream matches?
Speaker 2: Where are my dream matches? Do you want to? I can't,
Speaker 2: not on this show. Not on this show. We'll talk
Speaker 2: about it later off camera because we still got other
Speaker 2: matches to predict. So yeah, this pretty solid stuff for
Speaker 2: this Battle World. I'm very excited for it, but I'm
Speaker 2: predicting ultimately that's going to be stuck me to win. Okay,
Speaker 2: Oh wait a minute, I think I okay, pressed the
Speaker 2: wrong button. All right, we got a Battle of the
Speaker 2: Black Queens. Guy. We have Jack Carkill versus Naomi and
Speaker 2: a no holes barred match. When I found out that
Speaker 2: this match had this stipulation, I was so excited because
Speaker 2: I didn't see the announcement of it. I was I
Speaker 2: was doing something else, and then I came back into
Speaker 2: the room and then I saw it on Twitter that
Speaker 2: it was gonna be no holes bart And I'm excited
Speaker 2: because from a wrestling fan perspective, I've never experienced a
Speaker 2: no holes bar match in person, no, and I've never
Speaker 2: experienced women having a no holes bar match either. So
Speaker 2: the combination of both of these things live is going
Speaker 2: to give me life and oxygen. I'm just so excited
Speaker 2: because both of these women are just so amazing and iconic.
Speaker 2: And of course Jade is looking to get her lick
Speaker 2: back because Naomi has just been torturing her ever since.
Speaker 2: It was ever since she attacked her, and then it
Speaker 2: was revealed that she was her attacker, and now she's
Speaker 2: got the money in the bank briefcase. And now Jade
Speaker 2: is of course now queen of the ring, which means
Speaker 2: she has an opportunity at whoever wins the championship match
Speaker 2: against Tiffany A Trisha, whoever basically at that point who's
Speaker 2: holding the title. So with a no holds bar match,
Speaker 2: they could fight anywhere, do holds anywhere, fight all over
Speaker 2: the arena, possibly fight in a parking lot, possibly beat
Speaker 2: each other with kindosticks and chairs and all the things.
Speaker 2: And I'm just excited for all the mayhems. So Bianca,
Speaker 2: what are your predictions for Jade versus Naomi in this
Speaker 2: no holds bar match?
Speaker 4: Oh, First of all, every time I hear no holds bored,
Speaker 4: I always think of Triple H and Undertaker. That was
Speaker 4: the first time of rest. May twenty seven was the
Speaker 4: first time. It was my first time watching WrestleMania, and
Speaker 4: the first time I heard the phrase no holds barred.
Speaker 4: So every time I see a no holds bar match
Speaker 4: is a huge deal. So now that's this match with
Speaker 4: two black women. It's so important. I love that. It's
Speaker 4: the representation is there. It's couldn't have come at a
Speaker 4: better time. I love that for us as black women
Speaker 4: and women in general. So now who will win? Oh god?
Speaker 4: I love them both. Oh my god. You hear you
Speaker 4: have a someone who left the company, came and went
Speaker 4: to TNA, came back and is thriving.
Speaker 2: Now you see.
Speaker 4: And then you see another woman who was in a
Speaker 4: different company how many years ago, and now it's in
Speaker 4: the biggest promotion in the world, right.
Speaker 2: And she's Queen of the ring man you know the ring.
Speaker 2: They both have muscle so wonderful, they're.
Speaker 4: Both so powerful. Oh my god, I think. And in
Speaker 4: the draw, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: I've never known a hole to match the end in
Speaker 2: a draw like I've never heard of that. I had
Speaker 2: never heard of that. I'm my dad, my dad, some.
Speaker 4: Of my interfere ino.
Speaker 2: Who will win?
Speaker 4: I think Jade because she's powerful, look look at her like.
Speaker 4: I think Jade will win because she's been she's she's
Speaker 4: been doing enough, she's been doing enough. She didn't she
Speaker 4: didn't hurt Naomi.
Speaker 2: Yah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Jade will win. Yeah, but but then
Speaker 4: you have Naomi and her briefcase. She might use that
Speaker 4: to cheat. So, I mean.
Speaker 2: But in a no Hoo's bar mesh, there really is
Speaker 2: no cheating because you can use the weapon, so it's legal.
Speaker 4: M I. I think during this match, Bianca Bello Bello
Speaker 4: will return to distract Naomi oh, so, allowing Jade to win.
Speaker 4: So I think Jade Cargo will win with Bianca Belair's assistance.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like that prediction because, funny enough, a lot
Speaker 2: of people were really online were really bummed out at
Speaker 2: the idea that Beiancle wouldn't be able to make it
Speaker 2: or be a part of evolution, and she was right.
Speaker 2: And then of course, and then of course at the
Speaker 2: last evolution, she wasn't on the main roster yet, so
Speaker 2: she was just you know, sort of starting in a
Speaker 2: sense because she was in the May Young Classic and
Speaker 2: she was watching, you know, from the audience and stuff,
Speaker 2: you know, So it would be wonderful if she were
Speaker 2: a part of it, even though she couldn't get in
Speaker 2: ring in action and stuff like that, And that would
Speaker 2: be a great way for her to get involved in
Speaker 2: the action by actually assisting Jade in some way, shape
Speaker 2: or form. So that would be cool. I would like
Speaker 2: that very much. And it sort of keeps the Big
Speaker 2: Three conflict sort of. It keeps it going, and I
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 4: What happened Elimination Chamber, didn't Jay Cargo come back and
Speaker 4: attack Naomi? Yeah she did, So that might happen when
Speaker 4: Biancabella returns to attack Naomi.
Speaker 2: So Jay can win, right, Considering the last time her
Speaker 2: and Naomi were in the ring together, she said that
Speaker 2: stuff about her mom and broke in her house and everything,
Speaker 2: And honestly, I don't care broken hand or not. I
Speaker 2: would have destroyed her then, but you know that, and
Speaker 2: I don't even fire. But let's be serious. My mama,
Speaker 2: my mama, for my mama, I will I will tear
Speaker 2: down a brick harouse, okay, And that brick house would
Speaker 2: be Naomi that day so yeah, oh god, but yeah,
Speaker 2: Bionca being involved is a really really great prediction and
Speaker 2: I like that, and Jade winning would be cool too,
Speaker 2: And then that would send Naomi more so over the
Speaker 2: edge because Jade beat her a WrestleMania, so that would
Speaker 2: that would definitely send her more over the edge and
Speaker 2: make her even more unhinged.
Speaker 4: So that and then she can be happy with the championship.
Speaker 4: I truly believe.
Speaker 7: That maybe, but you know, yes, she could hold or
Speaker 7: you know, she could hold onto it for another occasion.
Speaker 4: Who I wouldn't want to have the draft I would
Speaker 4: to mine to have to I wouldn't want to I
Speaker 4: wouldn't want to wait.
Speaker 2: Let's wait because the fun is in the surprise, That's true.
Speaker 2: The fun is in the surprise. That Like, that's why
Speaker 2: I love money in the bank so much, because there's
Speaker 2: a surprise element too. You just never know. It's like
Speaker 2: you think one thing is one way, but then once
Speaker 2: that once that briefcase come in, boom, everything then changed
Speaker 2: and it's just and I just love it. So I'm
Speaker 2: here for it, and I'm here for Jade winning. That's
Speaker 2: my prediction. I'm predicting that Jade will win and and
Speaker 2: I agree with you that Bianca being a part of
Speaker 2: it would be cool too, so I agree with that wholeheartedly.
Speaker 2: But either way, this no holds bard is magic gonna
Speaker 2: be nuts. And also, in a full circle moment, I
Speaker 2: love that this is happening in Atlanta because the last
Speaker 2: time these two were in Atlanta together, you know, they
Speaker 2: were together as the Victory hosting Bad Blood and this
Speaker 2: was when Jade and Beyonca were the tag team champions
Speaker 2: and Naomi wasn't holding a title at that time. But
Speaker 2: that sort of fed into why she went crazy and
Speaker 2: did what she did because she felt like the third whell.
Speaker 2: So it's a very full circle type of storyline thing, like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and yeah, and it would be a caption
Speaker 4: for sure, no question.
Speaker 2: Full circle stone. I love it. So yeah, this is
Speaker 2: gonna be great. I'm excited. I'm so excited. Yeah, black women,
Speaker 2: what's the Lord? Okay? I love us. Next, Yeah, we
Speaker 2: got this tag team title match, just fatal four way
Speaker 2: for the Women's Tag Team Championships. And like we say,
Speaker 2: in terms of history, the Women's Tag Team Championships did
Speaker 2: not exist yet at the first evolution. Now they exist
Speaker 2: and they're being put on the line of course, being
Speaker 2: held by Raquel Rodriguez and now Roxan and Perez in
Speaker 2: the absence of Live Morgan and her injury, representing the
Speaker 2: Judgment Day going up against Charlotte Flair, Charlotte Flair and
Speaker 2: Alexa Blisz Team Queen Queen Goddess. Yeah, I guess I
Speaker 2: don't know Team Queen Friends Forever. I don't know versus
Speaker 2: Soul Ruka and Zaria from NX team. And she's gonna
Speaker 2: have a busy weekend because sol Ruka also has a
Speaker 2: North American title match against Izzy Dame at Great American Bears,
Speaker 2: so she's gonna have a busy weekend for sure. And
Speaker 2: then the returning Kobuki Warriors in the form of Aska
Speaker 2: and Kyrie saying, oh, this is so hard. I feel
Speaker 2: like this is really the hardest to predict for me, honestly,
Speaker 2: So boncle, what are your predictions for this? Fatal for women?
Speaker 4: H Mmmm?
Speaker 2: This is?
Speaker 4: This is this champion? This is is this a championship match?
Speaker 2: Is just like this is for the women's tag team Championships.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think for the story purposes, since everyone in
Speaker 4: the Judgment Day has championships, maybe they will Raquel and
Speaker 4: Siampunk's daughter will return.
Speaker 2: See you Punk's daughter all week.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, But then hmm, wow, they have Charlotte and
Speaker 4: Alexa name and they when because it's Charlotte, they may
Speaker 4: give it to her.
Speaker 2: And then.
Speaker 4: I like how the Kabookie Warriors returned and walked off
Speaker 4: on Roth and.
Speaker 2: It's something in their song. I was like, I thought
Speaker 2: that was so crue. I was like, yes, girl, yeah
Speaker 2: he got the insane elbow.
Speaker 4: You got Oscar's move. What's your move.
Speaker 2: The Oscal?
Speaker 4: Yes, yes you have that. I like sol Ruka and sorry,
Speaker 4: I'm getting to know Zariya, but I like she's cool. Gosh,
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, you have Ross knackdown n XT.
Speaker 2: Like I said, it's hard, it really is. This is
Speaker 2: the hardest to predict, honestly.
Speaker 4: And in no DQ it would not.
Speaker 2: But in a fatal four way.
Speaker 4: And the just qualification, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's a d and yeah, not a
Speaker 2: fiddle forward who.
Speaker 4: Will win this. I think Kabookie Warriors will take it.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: I think so, because they're so good, they're so they're
Speaker 4: they're dangerous. But then you have Charlotte's Moon Salt.
Speaker 2: You have a Lexus move and then you also have
Speaker 2: soul rucas like Mo salt too and all the things
Speaker 2: she can do that that's gonna be nuts. Oh oh god,
Speaker 2: they got the pop rocks.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a mess. I love. I'm excited. Who
Speaker 4: will win? A woman will win, that's my prediction. A
Speaker 4: woman will win.
Speaker 2: Two of a female team will win. That's funny.
Speaker 4: Okay, out do you wansk my Paul Zagon?
Speaker 2: Uh, I haven't watched it in so long.
Speaker 4: RuPaul says. This is iconic moment where RuPaul says, I
Speaker 4: can't wait to see how this stands out, and he
Speaker 4: has and then he holds this these you have to
Speaker 4: watch the tender stands. It's hilarious. But anyway, yeah, a
Speaker 4: woman will win. It's not a prediction, that's a spoiler.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm predicting that Charlotte and Alexa will win.
Speaker 2: I'm predicting that Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss will win
Speaker 2: simply because there's just been this back and forth between
Speaker 2: them where they've been trying to sort of find their
Speaker 2: groove as a team, and Charlotte feels like, you know,
Speaker 2: she's above being a part of a team, even though
Speaker 2: she's She's been a tag team champion before, albeit it
Speaker 2: was short. She was a tag team champion with Oscar,
Speaker 2: and I just feel like, I just feel like her
Speaker 2: and Alexa are on this path where they're learning that
Speaker 2: they can work great together if they let themselves do it.
Speaker 2: So I feel like Charlotte and Alexa could very well
Speaker 2: win the Women's tag team titles, which would further drive
Speaker 2: the judgment day apart because you have Roxanne and Raquel
Speaker 2: who barely trust each other to begin with. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and it wouldn't hurt Soul Ruka and Zaria, and it
Speaker 2: wouldn't hurt the Kabuki Warriors to not win the titles
Speaker 2: at all. So I'm predicting that Charlotte and Alexa will win.
Speaker 4: We shall see how this, Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see, but yeah, that's what my prediction is.
Speaker 2: So I know my computer was trying to like move
Speaker 2: forward with the other match, but we don't go ahead
Speaker 2: and actually do it for real. This time, we have
Speaker 2: the Women's Intercontinental Championship match between Becky Lynch, the man
Speaker 2: Lyra Vaccaria, the former and inaugural Women's Intercontinental Championship World Champion,
Speaker 2: and Bailey Bianca what is your prediction for this triple
Speaker 2: dirat match for the Women's Intercontinental Championship.
Speaker 4: Oh, Pam, you deserve better. Come on, Bailey, Hey, Bailey, Ah,
Speaker 4: I will love.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 4: Just be back, come on now, Yeah, exactly, because I
Speaker 4: see what people say about her. She's not even she's
Speaker 4: not advertised enough. She's not she but she's one enough.
Speaker 4: Oh god, now hasn't she hasn't she? Never mind? Take
Speaker 4: that back? I take that back they have? Oh gosh,
Speaker 4: this is hard.
Speaker 2: It's very hard.
Speaker 4: You got Lyra Valkyria with that song woo, and he
Speaker 4: got the l Z. Come on, he got big time backs.
Speaker 4: She stole Lira's championship.
Speaker 2: You got Bailey and attacked Bailey so and took her
Speaker 2: WrestleManias by WrestleMania in Vegas, Bianca.
Speaker 4: Who deserves Vegas? Mm hmm that's true because she returned
Speaker 4: and then they lost it the next day and then
Speaker 4: she mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Vegas. I'm still not over Vegas.
Speaker 4: Does Becky retain?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Well, what do you think? What's your prediction? Do you
Speaker 2: think that you will protect?
Speaker 4: I think she will. If not, I think, wow, I
Speaker 4: don't think I will get it back? Oh oh god,
Speaker 4: I think that possibilities are so endless.
Speaker 2: I yeah, this one's also hard to predict. This one
Speaker 2: is also is equally as hard as the tag team
Speaker 2: Championship mass to predict. These girls are so gifted. Yeah,
Speaker 2: all three of them just gifted.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a mass between all three because they
Speaker 4: have there's some and am I between them and some
Speaker 4: in some way. So I think Bailey will get it
Speaker 4: because it's only fair that Lyra got it, had it first,
Speaker 4: and then Becky and now Bailey. So I think Bailey
Speaker 4: will get it. I think so. If not, I.
Speaker 2: Would love it.
Speaker 4: We'll get it back. I think baby will.
Speaker 2: I would love it. If Bailey wanted that, that would
Speaker 2: be fantastic if she did. Because ms ma'am, that's that is.
Speaker 2: That is a horse woman who does not get enough credit.
Speaker 2: Like she gets credit, but she doesn't get nearly as
Speaker 2: much credit as everybody else because how earlier in the show,
Speaker 2: you know, we were talking about how she wasn't called
Speaker 2: up with the other three, with the other three ladies
Speaker 2: at the start of the evolution because she was down
Speaker 2: in NXT as the NXC Women's Champion. There was so
Speaker 2: much as she went through to reach this point of
Speaker 2: herself and her place as a horsewoman and as a
Speaker 2: part of the evolution makes so it's makes so much sense,
Speaker 2: and it's very integral, and she has inspired so many
Speaker 2: people and so many women to even get in the business.
Speaker 2: So she doesn't get enough flowers. So this would be
Speaker 2: the perfect place for her to get, you know, an
Speaker 2: opportunity and actually win the title that she really could
Speaker 2: have won. But I'm almost afraid that Becky will be
Speaker 2: so cagey that she would take advantage of Lyra and
Speaker 2: Bailey being angry at each other and then take advantage
Speaker 2: of that and then retain. So it is hard. So
Speaker 2: I think I'll just give two predictions for that match.
Speaker 2: I think my first prediction is Bailey winning, and then
Speaker 2: my second is Becky being cagey and play catering both
Speaker 2: of them in order to retain.
Speaker 4: Does she have any does bait? Does Becky have any
Speaker 4: other outside beef besides Lyra and Bailey?
Speaker 2: No, she doesn't.
Speaker 4: Doesn't, because who could return to distract and pissed Bailly
Speaker 4: off and pissed and get Becky Beculun's.
Speaker 2: Mad to distracted nobody really?
Speaker 4: Okay, then I think Bailey will retain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you b Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I could see
Speaker 2: that happening. I can definitely see Bailey winning, but I
Speaker 2: can also see Becky retaining in a dirty way, and
Speaker 2: I can low key see this story keeping going honestly,
Speaker 2: and it would be perfect. So yeah, yeah, I hate
Speaker 2: that Bailey and Lira were fighting though, Like that hurt
Speaker 2: my feelings because I'm like, like, they're just they're both
Speaker 2: just we're just so sweet to each other after Becky
Speaker 2: did what she did so for them to fight, for
Speaker 2: them to get to fighting, of course because of Lyra's
Speaker 2: Huber's to a degree, because she was mad at Becky,
Speaker 2: And I understand being angry, angry enough to beat somebody
Speaker 2: up like that, who did you wrong? I just don't
Speaker 2: like that it cost her friendship with Bailey, right. That
Speaker 2: makes me sad, But it's about checks and championships, so yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but I am excited about this match because, like I said,
Speaker 2: these women are so gifty. You've got two of the
Speaker 2: four horse Women and a match it's insane, that's insane,
Speaker 2: and one match together, and then you got Charlotte and
Speaker 2: the tag team. Lord Jesus, if Mercedes was there, it
Speaker 2: would have been great, but it's okay, it's okay. Mercedes
Speaker 2: is making history elsewhere. We love it, we love it.
Speaker 2: It's okay, it's okay. I'm just being selfish, but it's okay.
Speaker 2: It's okay, it's okay, it's gonna be all right.
Speaker 4: It's not okay, it's all.
Speaker 2: Right, it's all right, all right. Oh yeah yeah, big
Speaker 2: pimpin big money match. Right here, we have the women's
Speaker 2: World Championship on the line between these forever rivals EO
Speaker 2: Sky and Rial Bloody Ripley. Everybody's mommy, everybody's girl crush, yes,
Speaker 2: everybody's favorite, like everybody's favorite, goth, Amazon goddess, Queen the Uncle.
Speaker 2: These women have fought back and forth between NXT WrestleMania
Speaker 2: and back again. EO Sky has defeated Real Ripley multiple
Speaker 2: times between all these promotions. Real Ripley is hungry. But
Speaker 2: before we give our prediction for this, this has been
Speaker 2: an all time week for women speaking their mind in wrestling.
Speaker 2: And I didn't get to address this beforehand like I
Speaker 2: wanted to, But I want to. Riha Ripley mentioned in
Speaker 2: an interview with Jackie Redman before her street fight with
Speaker 2: Raquel Rodrigueze night a champions, that she wants to be
Speaker 2: a multi time champion and if she's not in this
Speaker 2: business to be a champion, then what the hell is
Speaker 2: she doing it for? And people online literally had the
Speaker 2: audacity to come at her for actually wanting to be
Speaker 2: a multi time champion because they were like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: you've been champion before. Why are you da da da da?
Speaker 2: Why are you da da da da da? And it
Speaker 2: speaks to the double standard of women having to just
Speaker 2: be satisfied with what they have as opposed to people
Speaker 2: being happy on the other side of people winning like
Speaker 2: men winning things multiple times. Because I saw it when
Speaker 2: Charlotte won the World Rumble. Of course, that was her
Speaker 2: second time winning the Royal Rumble this year, five years
Speaker 2: apart from when she first won it, and people were upset.
Speaker 2: But then someone like Cody Rose no shade to hero
Speaker 2: can win a Royal Rumble two years in a row
Speaker 2: and everybody will be happy about it two years in
Speaker 2: a row exactly. But rear Ripley, who is literally one
Speaker 2: of one of the most overstars, if not the most
Speaker 2: overstar at this point in w W, can't be can't
Speaker 2: want to be champion multiple times? Bianca, how did you,
Speaker 2: how do you feel about her speaking out on that
Speaker 2: and making that a point of conversation.
Speaker 4: I'm happy she did. I'm happy she did. Like in
Speaker 4: the season of evolution and it's this is this is
Speaker 4: a new times, a new dawn. You're not in the
Speaker 4: nineties where women are scared to speak to minds to
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 2: Hey, I.
Speaker 3: Wasn't.
Speaker 4: I mean I would think I would. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 4: I would think so. Oh, But I'm I'm happy. I'm
Speaker 4: happy she's she spoke up. We talk about ageism, we
Speaker 4: talk about the double standard to men and women in
Speaker 4: this industry, in this business, and how it's a male
Speaker 4: dominated business where women are trying to break in and
Speaker 4: have their own and have an an express And I
Speaker 4: want to say this too, How do I say this
Speaker 4: to like in a way that makes sense? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: I'm I'm happy. I'm happy she spoke up. It's good
Speaker 4: on good good for her, Yes, good for you for
Speaker 4: speaking up. I'm happy someone said something.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, I'm happy she said something. I'm happy you
Speaker 2: know she art spoke on it the way she did,
Speaker 2: because it makes all the sense in the world. Real
Speaker 2: it's someone I remember to not even to bypass all
Speaker 2: her successes, she had an NXC UK and NXT proper
Speaker 2: as we know it. When she got called up, there
Speaker 2: was a point where there was a level of I guess,
Speaker 2: teetering where she had where even when she won championships,
Speaker 2: there was something there was something about her that was teetering.
Speaker 2: And then it's like once she joined the Judgment Day,
Speaker 2: it was almost like she was fully locked in to
Speaker 2: her power and who she truly was. And once she
Speaker 2: got locked into that and then had that match with Charlotte,
Speaker 2: I mean, mind you, she had fought Charlotte before and
Speaker 2: lost her in twenty twenty, and then she had that
Speaker 2: match with her at WrestleMania, and she locked in and
Speaker 2: became like an undeniable star. She is just on an
Speaker 2: upward trajectory ever since. And it was always meant for
Speaker 2: her to be a star because she was always a
Speaker 2: great wrestler. She was always powerful, she was always beautiful,
Speaker 2: like even when she was even when she first started,
Speaker 2: she was blonde and everything else. Before she became our
Speaker 2: favorite Gothic Amazon queen, she was still beautiful.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: With that, and now it just seems like the stars
Speaker 2: of all aligned for her to be in this position
Speaker 2: where she's in. And so the idea that she spoke
Speaker 2: out about wanting to be championing multiple times as opposed
Speaker 2: to just being satisfied with the opportunities that she has
Speaker 2: had spoke to me in a very deep way. And
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the screen away for a second while
Speaker 2: I'm saying this, because in life as a woman, and
Speaker 2: sometimes even especially as black women, you know, us women
Speaker 2: to women talking to each other, and there's a level
Speaker 2: of a ceiling that people try to place on you,
Speaker 2: and they try to tell you, oh, you should just
Speaker 2: be satisfied because you have done this, you have done that,
Speaker 2: you have done this. Why aren't you just why can't
Speaker 2: you just satisfied? Why can't you just you know, rest
Speaker 2: and just be happy with what you have done and
Speaker 2: just leave the rest of it alone. And honestly, why
Speaker 2: can't I have the drive of a man?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: Why can't I want all of the things that is
Speaker 2: promised to an average male if I'm working just as hard,
Speaker 2: if not harder. Because let's be honest, if you're a
Speaker 2: woman of color, if you're a black woman, you have
Speaker 2: to do twice as much, sometimes three times as much
Speaker 2: to get noticed, to get opportunities if I have, if
Speaker 2: I have the work ethic, why can't I want more
Speaker 2: for what I give? Yes, and real Ripley has given
Speaker 2: so much of herself to the whole judgment day when
Speaker 2: she was being critiqued for getting in the men's business,
Speaker 2: even by me, because I did critique it to a degree,
Speaker 2: And I'll own that from people critiquing her and how
Speaker 2: she looks, and all the above and all the comparisons
Speaker 2: and everything. That woman has paid her dues. And she
Speaker 2: is just so young for someone who has accomplished as
Speaker 2: much as she has accomplished, she is still very young,
Speaker 2: like she is like twenty seven or twenty eight, twenty
Speaker 2: nine years old, and there is still so much more
Speaker 2: that she has left to prove. And if she wants
Speaker 2: to be champion multiple times, then she has the right
Speaker 2: to be. If we can sit here and watch no
Speaker 2: shade to the New Day, because I love the New
Speaker 2: Day all the way down, worry. If we can watch
Speaker 2: the New Day be tag team champions multiple times, if
Speaker 2: we can sit here and watch as unpopular as he
Speaker 2: is right now, brock Lesnar be champion as many times
Speaker 2: as he was. If we can sit here over the
Speaker 2: years and watch, oh my god, even Triple Ah no
Speaker 2: shade to him be as champion multiple times for as
Speaker 2: long as he was. Then why can't we live in
Speaker 2: a world where women can work just as hard and
Speaker 2: wrestling and be champions for as long like Athena or
Speaker 2: as many times as Rio wants to be champions? Why
Speaker 2: do we just have to settle with what we're given
Speaker 2: when we see so many other men eating the steak
Speaker 2: all the time, and we just have to settle for
Speaker 2: our vegetables. No, baby, I want the whole meal. I
Speaker 2: want to eat, Ruth Chris. I want to eat whatever
Speaker 2: other fancy stuff that these men are doing, especially if
Speaker 2: I'm pulling in all these people, Like there are people
Speaker 2: who have probably never watched wrestling in their lives who
Speaker 2: know who Rhea Ripley is because they love her look
Speaker 2: and they love her aesthetic. She is bringing all types
Speaker 2: of people in, even Biyonca. She is bringing all types
Speaker 2: of people in who have never thought to give wrestling
Speaker 2: a chance. All of the women are doing that. So
Speaker 2: how come these women can work so hard, leave their families,
Speaker 2: do all these things, but yet can't want as much
Speaker 2: or want just as much as the men and want
Speaker 2: as just as many championships as the men. Why is
Speaker 2: it that we're okay with John Cena reaching seventeen titles,
Speaker 2: but we balk at Charlotte Flair possibly matching her father's
Speaker 2: right title reigns, Like why like that, it's time out
Speaker 2: for that, it's twenty twenty five. If these women work
Speaker 2: that hard, then they deserve to be rewarded as hard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, I definitely agree, And I'm great by
Speaker 4: b Johnson and seventeen, Like, has it never been a
Speaker 4: female wrestler who won that much in the history of WWE.
Speaker 2: In terms of WWE? I don't think so. And Charlotte
Speaker 2: is the closest because she's been champion fourteen times.
Speaker 4: First, that's and that's the only and she's the only
Speaker 4: multi champion night that I know.
Speaker 2: Of, Like, she's been singles champion fourteen times. That's not
Speaker 2: counting you know, the tag team stuff. But yeah, she's
Speaker 2: been a singles champion fourteen times. And I would argue
Speaker 2: that she excuse me, that she should have broken the
Speaker 2: record before John Cena did, honestly because it's her birthright, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yeah, I'm surprised. Rick Flair hasn't done anything
Speaker 4: to make that happen.
Speaker 2: Or said anything. But I but I don't want that.
Speaker 2: I don't want Charlotte's lot to be Oh my dad
Speaker 2: got this for me? Yes, because because that's another component,
Speaker 2: you know, that could feed into it. It's the whole nepotism. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't want I don't want her to just you know.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, and yeah, I don't I
Speaker 2: don't want that to be her lot either. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I just I just want us to live in a
Speaker 2: world where it's okay for women to want more, to
Speaker 2: be driven, to want to succeed at the level of
Speaker 2: a man like I want that for us and I
Speaker 2: want that for Ria. So back to the subject at hand.
Speaker 2: This prediction for this championship match, Bianca, who do you think?
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got.
Speaker 4: And then you got.
Speaker 2: Yes, No, it's my computer. Hold on, it's you're trying
Speaker 2: to come back, but the screen is loading. Hello, my good,
Speaker 2: hold on, Okay, let's pop her back in real quick.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, you're back, you're back, You're good. Yeah. What
Speaker 2: is your prediction?
Speaker 4: Well, first you have you have miss out and then
Speaker 4: you have this is my brutal let's see. But by
Speaker 4: the way, that entrance at Restumena thirty nine with motionless
Speaker 4: and White is one of my favorite entrances of all time.
Speaker 4: I get you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was WrestleMania forty and that was great. Yeah
Speaker 2: that was forty.
Speaker 4: Sorry, world, it's WrestleMania forty. Oh my god. That was
Speaker 4: with her hair blowing in the wind and then the
Speaker 4: lead singer emotionless, motionless and white and real Ripley, you're
Speaker 4: like twins. I love that. Oh my god. Oh I'm
Speaker 4: getting choose right now.
Speaker 8: It's oh, oh god. I like EO though, but I
Speaker 8: like mm hmmm, Oh gohead.
Speaker 4: Who wants it more? You can't go wrong with this.
Speaker 4: I won't. I won't be mad if either one wins.
Speaker 4: I like them both. They deserve it. But do you
Speaker 4: want to choose? Okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Does EO retain or does Real become champion again? M m.
Speaker 4: It's been some time, but it's I think, Oh, it'll
Speaker 4: be weird if. Oh, it would be weird if hmm.
Speaker 4: How long has Rea? How long has EO been champion?
Speaker 2: Who she's been championed since? I want to say late
Speaker 2: February to mid March, late February to the beginning of
Speaker 2: March because she won the title I believe because Rio
Speaker 2: want it from Live at the first Netflix episode and
Speaker 2: EO beat her for it after Bianca one Elimination Chamber,
Speaker 2: and that was leading to WrestleMania. So I want to
Speaker 2: say EO has been championed since late February or maybe
Speaker 2: the middle of February till now, because of course she
Speaker 2: retained at Mania. So yeah, okay, so it's been a
Speaker 2: number of months.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I was like, do I let Yo retain it
Speaker 4: for a little bit longer or just reatake it? I
Speaker 4: think EO retains.
Speaker 2: You think retains I know.
Speaker 4: Oh mm hmm. Is it too soon for EO to
Speaker 4: lose it? Or should shoot keep it longer?
Speaker 2: Hm hmm.
Speaker 4: This is a hard one because they both have they
Speaker 4: are so talented. Yes, they have potential. They oh gosh,
Speaker 4: who love them? Yeah, I will just let this play out.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you sound like me when it comes
Speaker 2: to two people I love in a match and then
Speaker 2: I can't choose and I'm just gonna let the play off.
Speaker 2: That is something that I would do. That's very me coded.
Speaker 2: I liked it. That is me coded. But that's not
Speaker 2: gonna be me right now, if I'm being completely honest,
Speaker 2: If I'm being completely honest, I'm predicting that Ria Ripley
Speaker 2: is gonna finally gonna finally be Io and win her
Speaker 2: championship back. And at this point, with how she felt
Speaker 2: about winning the championship again, I want her to get
Speaker 2: it back just just because of that. I want her
Speaker 2: just because of her drive and all of that stuff.
Speaker 2: I love you, EO, but baby, I want Ria to
Speaker 2: get it back. I want Ria to get it back,
Speaker 2: and I just and I just hope that there's more
Speaker 2: story after she gets it back. Of course, I just
Speaker 2: to to big her up as the start that she is. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I want Ria to win the title. I'm predicting
Speaker 2: that Ria Ripley will win the championship and finally beat
Speaker 2: EO after all of these years.
Speaker 4: Okay, I never realized that Ria hasn't has never been
Speaker 4: Io Sky.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's been a part of their story, like they did.
Speaker 2: They showed the clips on raw of their rivalry from
Speaker 2: NXT all the way on and even in the May
Speaker 2: Young Classic too, Like she's never beaten EO.
Speaker 4: Then I think now that's to say that I give
Speaker 4: it Tiria. Then that's it now that you say that,
Speaker 4: and I never knew that. Okay, I think, yeah, give
Speaker 4: it back to Ria this time. Yeah, I would still
Speaker 4: love this play out.
Speaker 2: That's valid. That is one hundred percent valid. That is
Speaker 2: one hundred percent valid. So yeah, that ends our predictions.
Speaker 2: We made our predictions for the entirety of evolution. We
Speaker 2: had a great discussion about women's wrestling or where we
Speaker 2: wanted to go in terms of its progress, and just
Speaker 2: how happy we are that this is happening again and
Speaker 2: all the things. So we have reached the end of
