WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:06.519 This is WWE Superstar Drew mcintoor and you're listening to 2 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:16.000 the WWE podcast show. 3 00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:25.519 The one that Everybody wants me sixteen. 4 00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.399 So just work your ass. 5 00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.640 Is mind you can acknowledge me. 6 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:36.320 What is going on? Everybody, and welcome back to another 7 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.079 main Event review with your host Daniel and Boy. WrestleMania 8 00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.960 has flown by. We are now getting ready for the 9 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.159 first PLI of the wrestling season for ww WE Backlash Fast, 10 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:53.039 approaching in less than a week away from the day 11 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.799 we're recording this, and we're going to be recording and 12 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.840 reviewing the main Events episode for the events that occurred 13 00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.400 on last week's Raw and on the SmackDown before, So 14 00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:08.439 I'm really excited to get into that. There has been 15 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:14.120 some updates in regards to the pl that's happening in Australia. 16 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.920 They have confirmed the dates and to my I guess 17 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:25.280 saddest news or to my sadness, actually unfortunately unable to 18 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.799 make the SmackDown or the pl because the marathon is 19 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:35.280 going to be on the twelfth of October, the pr 20 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.640 is going to be on the eleventh, and unfortunately there 21 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.200 is a massive time difference between Perf and Melbourne about 22 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.439 of three hours, so there aren't any late flights, and 23 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.400 even if I were to make a late flight, I 24 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:50.239 wouldn't be able to make it in time for the marathon. 25 00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.799 So what I'm going to do is hopefully get a 26 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:59.680 ticket to go to RAW on the thirteenth and leave 27 00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:02.680 on that Sunday night after the marathon. I'll be able 28 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.480 to catch the main event, which would before RAW, and 29 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.879 hopefully I get to see John Cena there. I highly 30 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:11.960 doubt that he's going to be there on Monday night RAW, 31 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.840 but I'm hoping that he will show up. But nevertheless, 32 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.479 still excited to go to a RAW and very excited 33 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.280 that WW is going to be hosting three shows here. 34 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.360 It's never been done before. I did wish that the 35 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.840 pl would have been held at It's called It's at 36 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.520 our Ac Arena, which only holds about fifteen thousand people, 37 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.120 but last time they did it at Otus OPTAs Stadium, 38 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.960 which held sixty thousand people, and I wish that they 39 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.599 still had the event there, but again not complaining. It 40 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.639 is the weekend of rear Ripley's birthday, so it does 41 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.039 make sense as to why they chose those dates. It 42 00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.759 just happened to be really inconvenient for myself, but still 43 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.560 excited to go. I'm gonna, yeah, get tickets for Raw 44 00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.599 and definitely attend that, get my flights and hopefully a ticket. 45 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.560 They are pretty expensive given that it's only fifteen k 46 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.680 allowed in, but we're going to try nevertheless. But I 47 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.680 guess without further ado, we can jump straight into a 48 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.000 main event with the first match and that being Dragonly 49 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.879 taking on Carrying Cross. The crowd reacted very well to 50 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.520 carrying Cross and looking at all the YouTube comments, ninety 51 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.639 five percent of it was basically saying to give carrying 52 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:29.280 Cross a push, so for those that aren't aware carrying Cross. 53 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.680 Probably the night after Night Too of WrestleMania went on 54 00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.879 the post show on one of the podcasts and pulled 55 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.759 out an extremely viral promo on this podcast show that 56 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.439 got shared on x which had like ten million views 57 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.439 and to me, arguably the best promo of the year 58 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.360 so far, slightly in beating CM Punk's promo after John 59 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.120 Cena sold his soult calling out him in the Rock 60 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.039 but basically carrying a cross going in there and basically 61 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.960 calling out Logan, Paul calling out Creative, calling out everyone 62 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.680 for not getting his opportunities despite how much he's been 63 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.000 given to the company, and you could see that there 64 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.199 was some truth and malice to that promo, which made 65 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.439 it one viral and two very appealing for people, and 66 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.720 that caused a massive pop in the crowd for when 67 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:23.160 he came out. And despite this, for some reason, they 68 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.720 gave him a loss to Dragon Lee of all people, 69 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.439 which I'm trying to think the positive. I'm trying to 70 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.720 think this is the way to hype him up, get 71 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.959 people more frustrated that he's not getting the push that 72 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.680 he deserves. I'm trying to think like that. But at 73 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:38.439 the same time, we're all ready for it. We're all 74 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.879 ready for carrying across to finally get the push he deserves. 75 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.560 I've mentioned on this show that he's got the look, 76 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.040 he's got the personality, the way he comes into the ring. 77 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:53.600 He's just perfect for someone that can be a big, 78 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.600 big character in NWWE and he really does deserve a push, 79 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.399 and I think it's time that they do it. I 80 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.439 think he's on his contract years, so I'll be very 81 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.839 disappointed if they if they fumble it here, and it 82 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.600 doesn't look good when he's losing to Dragonly, But again, 83 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:10.720 really trying to look at the positives. It was a 84 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.879 roll up victory, so for whatever that means, it's not 85 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.879 as though he got beaten cleanly. So that might also 86 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.079 just tie into the fact that he's gonna get frustrated. 87 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.079 He's going to blow over and really turn another leaf, 88 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:28.360 because yeah, losing up to a rollout surprising victory for 89 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.720 Dragonly is extremely disappointing. But yeah, I just don't I 90 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.839 don't understand why they have he hasn't been pushed earlier. 91 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.240 To be honest, I think he's very much capable of 92 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.480 doing some big things in WWE, So I'm just hoping 93 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.360 this is the one off. If I do see another loss, 94 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.560 I'm going to start to worry and start to think 95 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:51.279 that he might get released. And just off topic speaking 96 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.800 of the releases, So yeah, ww did announce a long 97 00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:59.360 list of superstars that were released, and Carrying Cross was 98 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.480 not on that so that's some good news. Carrying Cross 99 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:03.720 was not on that list. But who was on that 100 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:07.759 list was Dakota Kai, Kora je Aide and Bronze Stroman 101 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.360 to headline. There was a few others as well. I'm 102 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:15.199 pretty sure Shana Beasler was on there too, but I 103 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.040 think for my surprise Kora je Aide getting released was 104 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.079 a big one, and so was Dakota Kai. I thought 105 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:23.720 Dakota Kai deserved a bit of a push and was 106 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.480 doing some pretty good things, but I guess it's really 107 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.160 hard to make a case from because they didn't really 108 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.720 do much in their time there. I think Bronz Stroman 109 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:36.360 did really well in yeah, pushing Jacob Fatu and actually 110 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.680 that feud with Bronson Red, but there wasn't anything that 111 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.000 was going to go on further for him. So yeah, 112 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.600 just a quick touch up on those releases. They're all justified. 113 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.639 It's pretty brutal, but that's the nature of the business. 114 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:51.879 And as mentioned, carry Cross is not on there, so 115 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:53.560 I'm trying to think that they're going to have plans 116 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:57.560 for him moving forward, and it doesn't really start well, 117 00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:01.399 but it could lead to something there. But Dragonly gets 118 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.879 the victory doesn't help him, not really. There's a lot 119 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:07.839 of Lutadors right now in WWE, and I think Ray 120 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.959 Phoenix and Penta are going to get the headlines and 121 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.199 even the unmasked Lutradors as well, so doesn't really do 122 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.879 much for Dragonly. I don't think he's getting the pop 123 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.519 that other Luca Doors have been getting he just remains 124 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:26.879 to be Raymonsterio's I guess right hand man. We then 125 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.800 move on to Raw, where we get Becky Lynch making 126 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.519 her entrance, basically addressing the hill turn that she did 127 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:40.720 on Lyra Valkyria. Basically, she mentioned that she attacked Bailey 128 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.959 backstage and the reason basically as to why she did 129 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.759 turn on Laarra Valkira is because she was the friend 130 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.600 of Bailey. She mentioned that Bailey has been attacking her 131 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:55.360 since twenty nineteen, has been jealous of her, always been 132 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.879 mentioning that she's always wanted to be a bigger star 133 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:02.319 and Becky is the biggest star. If it wasn't for 134 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:06.040 Becky Lynch injecting herself into the match, Laura would have 135 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:11.120 never won the championship with her, and then also mentioning 136 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.240 that she basically told Lara to ditch that bitch, which 137 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.720 was a pretty crazy promo, pretty surprising that she went there, 138 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:25.879 but it was too late for Lara, as Becky mentioned. 139 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.240 Lara then comes in basically says that Bailey warned her 140 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.679 about Becky that she'll do anything to get to the 141 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:38.639 top and was extremely disappointed and thought that the dream 142 00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:41.960 could be Alive with two Irish Women's Superstars winning tag 143 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.159 team champions, but she was obviously wrong, and then she 144 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:46.840 mentioned that she was going to pay for what she 145 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:51.039 did to Becky Lynch. Then Becky Lynch got off the stage, 146 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.600 and then that led to our guess, Laara Valkira saying 147 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:58.279 to fight right now. Becky Lynch then replying and saying 148 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.679 that it doesn't only matters when it matters to Becky, 149 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.120 and it doesn't matter in Kansas City, which was a 150 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.559 good pop which is a good way to kind of 151 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:10.039 bring some heat onto the crowd. And before I finish 152 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:13.679 to what happens, I really like Becky Lynch putting out 153 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.960 the promo screaming. She really did a good job in 154 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.000 getting a bit of heat there, which was something that 155 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.440 I was concerned about because I think Becky Lynch has 156 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.720 struggled to be a heal in the past, but there's 157 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.240 a decent storyline here for her to kind of get 158 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.919 over on being a heel. And there's definitely some long 159 00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.320 term kind of ideas for a program with Bailey in 160 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.360 the future which will get Bailey back up. I think 161 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:38.039 this works for everyone, but anyway, Laura Valkia then offers 162 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.240 to fight at Backlash, and she's going to put her 163 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.519 title on the line, to which Becky Lynch does accept. 164 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.840 So we're going to see Bailey and I'm not Bailey, 165 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.679 Becky Lynch and Laura Valkira fight it out at Backlash, 166 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.360 which is going to be pretty interesting. I suppose that 167 00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:59.000 Laura will win the match. It is the first serious 168 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:03.559 opponent that Laura has had for the Intercontinental title, and 169 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:05.799 when she came out and did the promo, she held 170 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.240 her own very well and I think she did a 171 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:10.440 really good job. So this is going to be a 172 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:15.159 good opportunity for Laura to really put herself over and 173 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.679 kind of get the heat that she deserves. People are 174 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.600 starting to chant her to her tune, which is good, 175 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:25.320 and Becky Lynch is going to be obviously helping Laara 176 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:29.279 Valcira's career here with a superstar that is well renowned, 177 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.360 and eventually we're going to lead to her with Bailey, 178 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.240 so we'll have to wait and see as to what 179 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.279 happens there. But again, Laara Valkira gets a bit of 180 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.320 a push, gets a storyline that's a bit more interesting, 181 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.919 something that's gonna, I guess, get her to the next 182 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.960 step because again, when she did win the title, and 183 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.720 although she has been good since she's come into the 184 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.559 main roster, there hasn't been any storylines for her. So 185 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:54.600 this is going to be something that is going to 186 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.440 help her out in the long term. As mentioned, We 187 00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:01.360 then go onto SmackDown where we see John Cena in 188 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.639 the ring with Randy Orton. Randy Orten basically taunting Johnson 189 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.440 and saying like how dare he disrespects his family and 190 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:12.320 disrespects the fans to take the title away, and Randy 191 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:17.080 Orton basically calls him out to defend the title on SmackDown. However, 192 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:21.759 John Cena replies that he wants to defend at Backlash, 193 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:25.679 where that will be Randy's hometown and he wants the 194 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:30.279 best of Randy Orton there for that match, basically saying 195 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:34.519 that when he fails, he will basically expose him there. 196 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.360 And then while that's happening, John Cena mentions that this 197 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:40.960 is the closest Randy will get to the title, throws 198 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:44.240 it at him and then delivers a cheap shot, then 199 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.879 starts stomping him on the ground for about fifteen times, 200 00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:49.960 which was which was great. It was great to see 201 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.080 it's just refreshing when we talk about John Cena's heel 202 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.039 turn and him as a heel, it's just cool to 203 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:58.480 see him just attack people like Okay, the promos people 204 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:02.399 not necessarily al him one hundred percent, but the real 205 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:06.000 hill heat comes from when he's cheap shutting his opponents 206 00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:07.960 and just brutally attacking them. And that was a good 207 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:12.399 demonstration there with those stumps. However, as Randion's on the floor, 208 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.399 John Cena looks to signature, looks for his signature new 209 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.320 signature move we would say, grabbing the title and trying 210 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.720 to whack him in the face of fed Randyordon does 211 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.559 duck and gives him an RKO. So just some good 212 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.279 motivation there to give us all a belief and some 213 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.720 false hope that Randy Ordon is gonna win the title. 214 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.399 But I can one hundred percent confirm that it's not 215 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:36.399 gonna happen. And with Crown Jewll being confirmed in them 216 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:39.639 saying John Cena is going to be there, they've pretty 217 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.840 much said that John Cena is not going to chop 218 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.159 the title till October and November, so just remember that guy. 219 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.960 So it's all about now seeing how believable it is 220 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.360 or how close it will be for John Cena to 221 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.120 lose the title, and how he's gonna he's gonna cheat 222 00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.320 his way through winning it all. So it's gonna start 223 00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:00.159 with Randy Orton, which I am excited about. I do 224 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.799 understand why they they've decided to do this, obviously being 225 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:05.480 at rand Y Orden's hometown, but a lot of people 226 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.559 would have preferred this to be kind of the final 227 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:10.480 match closing in. That's not to say it won't happen 228 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.399 down the line, but again it's just it's just coming 229 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:17.639 really early for my liking, especially how big these two 230 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.360 rathers have been. Like I remember growing up watching these 231 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.240 two go with each other for ages, always being on 232 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:26.159 John CNE's side. But this time it's going to be 233 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.600 extremely different to what we've seen, which is exciting for 234 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:34.279 that matter, But again, so early in, it's kind of 235 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:37.200 kind of half feels about it, and we all know 236 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:38.799 that John scene is going to keep the title, so 237 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:42.200 there's no kind of surprise element there or not. Maybe 238 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:44.559 WW we can do a full turn for us, yeah, 239 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.799 but I highly doubt that. But again, that match is 240 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.600 going to be occurring. Randy Ordan looking strong, which is 241 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.399 no surprise trying to make it believable. There. We then 242 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.600 get a number one contendership match on Raw with the 243 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:02.480 war Raiders taking on and the judgment day of Finnbala 244 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:06.600 and JD McDonough. We did have Covid Kingston and Xavier 245 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:09.720 Woods on commentary and they were pretty funny. I'm not 246 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.720 gonna lie. It was surprising that they were criticizing either 247 00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:17.600 for being fat and basically saying that the only reason 248 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.799 why people like him is because he's fat and he 249 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:23.279 does those moves, which is quite funny, but again very 250 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.399 harsh as well, and very surprised that they did go there, 251 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:29.600 but they were good value on the commentary. We did 252 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:31.639 see some pretty good moves. It was good to see 253 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.960 JD McDonough back into into wrestling as well after that 254 00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:41.720 horrific head crushing, head crushing move that when he was 255 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:44.279 trying to do the moon so landing on the table. 256 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:46.559 It's just good to have him. Have him back and 257 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.679 recovering and faster than our thought. But again the Viking 258 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.360 the war Raiders get the victory here due to Pent's 259 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.360 interference him getting involved in the match as well, so 260 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.360 a lot for him to do there. He's going to 261 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.879 have a match with JD McDonough next week, but there 262 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.720 was a bit of a backstage inter interaction with Chad 263 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:09.679 Gable and I think they're going to go into a 264 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.159 program with Algrand and Americano. There so a lot for 265 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:17.639 Penta now no title involvements, but still a lot for 266 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:21.159 him to be involved in. And as for the Judgment Day, 267 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:26.080 obviously we're going to wait till Finnbala eventually disbandons that. 268 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.799 He's obviously not good with JD McDonough either, because he 269 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:32.919 returned without telling Finnbala and he also didn't even tell 270 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:34.600 Finn that they were going to be in a match 271 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:37.000 as well, so there is a lot of tension there. 272 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.440 I'm very surprised that JD McDonough is going to be 273 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.919 citing with Dom and the Judgment Day. It's given that 274 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.440 them tour so close, but again, it does fuel the 275 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.799 storyline and makes the separation a lot more interesting when 276 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.679 it does eventually happen. We are gonna we are going 277 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:55.879 to get that, so we'll just have to wait and 278 00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:58.759 see as to how and when exactly will that happen. 279 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:02.320 We then go to a main event, we get the 280 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:07.240 classic alphababes of the Alpha Academy going up against American Maids, 281 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.039 So another one of these matches. Kind of getting over 282 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:14.720 just seeing these two these four perform. But the Alpha 283 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.639 Academy do get the victory here with the big sent 284 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.279 on from a Cura Tazawa. And as it looks like 285 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.360 the way it proceeds right now, American maid are not 286 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.039 getting anything for them at the moment. There's no storyline. 287 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:32.120 They don't seem to have any personality. I know Brutus 288 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:34.279 Tree Creed is trying to do these kind of like 289 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:39.080 fake laughs in promos and stuff, but it seems as 290 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:43.000 though that Ivy now and our American maide as a whole, 291 00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:45.279 I just jobs at the moment, it is all about 292 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.320 Chad Gable, It is all about Al Grande Americano, and 293 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:52.200 he's not really being involved with American Maids. So I 294 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:54.360 don't really know what their plans are with this group. 295 00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:56.919 Like obviously they're extremely talented in the ring. There are 296 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:02.000 college wrestlers in the past, so yeah, I don't know. 297 00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:03.840 I don't really know what's gonna happen with them, Like 298 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:06.920 they take a loss here to Alpha Academy, who aren't 299 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:09.839 really doing much. There was a promo that was actually 300 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:13.200 put on main event with Russev basically saying that he 301 00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:17.799 has motives to basically crush the enemies that didn't reach 302 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.759 their full potential like him, and I found that very good. 303 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.079 I think I like that Russef has come back and 304 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:28.200 there is a motive and a mission that he has, 305 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:31.559 and that is to basically beat the people out of 306 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:34.880 their potential. Whether that is relative or not, whether that 307 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:38.519 actually will work, it's not the point for me. I 308 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.480 think the point is that Russev has come with a 309 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.599 purpose and a reason. Obviously he was seen as a 310 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.119 Russian in the past, and also, as he mentioned with Lana, 311 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.319 he has no ties to women. Now he's got one 312 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.319 simple job and that is to do what he's set 313 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:58.440 out to do. So the first victim is Otis, and 314 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:01.079 it does make a lot of sense because Otis does 315 00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:03.480 have a lot of potential to be a big superstar, 316 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.079 but he chooses to be part of Alpha Academy as 317 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:09.920 a play show and entertainment for main events. So yeah, 318 00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:13.319 we're gonna see what happens. Maybe he'll influence Otis to 319 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:16.640 really hit his full potential. But they'll have a match 320 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:19.960 next week on Raw and they'll be Russ's debut, which 321 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.319 I'm excited about. It's good to see Rusev back in 322 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.839 in WW. I remember when he first came he wasn't 323 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.799 pinned for ages, and they were finding ways to not 324 00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.519 have him pinned, especially in that Authority versus John Cena 325 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.839 Survivor Series match where he did get counted out. That 326 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.440 was pretty cool. So they did have the Rusev Day 327 00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.680 for him as well. People do like him, people were 328 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:44.880 happy to see him back, so yeah, very excited for 329 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.279 that as well. And then we get onto the final segment, 330 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:51.440 which is the main event of RAW. We we do 331 00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:54.319 start with the start of the show where Seth Rollins 332 00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:56.880 comes out basically saying he is the future of the industry, 333 00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.880 and we get Sammy Zain of all people interrupting with 334 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.880 which I found quite surprising but again very interesting. Gets 335 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.880 Samuzain back in kind of the main event status in 336 00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:09.839 RAW and something relevant, especially when we really thought that 337 00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:12.079 he was going to turn on jay Uso, which didn't happen, 338 00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:14.519 but I think a program for the future to get 339 00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:17.720 Sami Zain back up there. But basically he mentions that 340 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:21.079 Seth Rolins is basically no different than seam Punk and 341 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:26.720 Roman reigns, taking poor Hayman on his side and basically 342 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.559 saying that yeah, he's basically a hypocrite. Seth Rolins doesn't 343 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.519 take lightly to those words, basically threatens Samuday and that 344 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:37.640 because he's his friend and because he loves him, he 345 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.480 needs to move to SmackDown to avoid any anything to 346 00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:44.640 happen with this new group. He then does look at 347 00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:46.440 bron Break and says if he looks at him like that, 348 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:49.759 he's going to do something about it, to which nothing happens, 349 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:54.319 but Sammy south Rolins does say to Samuzain to leave 350 00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:55.759 it at the end of the night. So come back 351 00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:57.920 to the end of the night with the decision and 352 00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:01.440 hopefully it's the right one for Ay. And then we 353 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:04.640 get to a quick backstage segment where Paul Hayman. To 354 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:07.559 make this interesting because we all think that when that 355 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:09.759 came when that first promo came out, it's like, why 356 00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:12.759 would Sammy Zay leave. He's not going to be scared 357 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:16.359 of Seth Rolins and bron Breaker. But what made it 358 00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:18.400 a bit interesting was when Paul Hamon came back and 359 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.759 basically he said that if he does go to SmackDown, 360 00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:24.240 he will be next in line for a WWE Championship 361 00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.240 match with John Cenner and Randy Ordon, which makes it 362 00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:30.839 rather tempting. Obviously, Samy Zain has never won a world 363 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.359 title and hasn't been in that position to win one 364 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:35.680 in a long time. The last time was with gunfer 365 00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.480 On i think a Monday Night Raw where we all 366 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:40.680 knew that he wasn't going to win it, so that 367 00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:43.160 was like the offer there for him to move to SmackDown. 368 00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:46.759 We then transition into the end of the show and 369 00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:51.079 with Seth Rowlins making the decision, but he obviously elects 370 00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:53.519 not to do it, basically saying to him that he 371 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:55.799 will win a world title and he will earn it 372 00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:58.920 himself and basically said to Seth Rowlins to go to hell. 373 00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:02.359 And then we had bron Breaker come out, and this 374 00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:05.359 was the first time we saw bron Breaker come out 375 00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:09.160 with Paul Hayman the Wise Man behind him, and I'm 376 00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:13.039 just really upset that it cut to commercial on Netflix 377 00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:19.240 because that was such a big moment for WWE. Everyone 378 00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:21.400 has been waiting for bron Breaker to team up with 379 00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:24.599 Paul Hayman and as they come out the ring and 380 00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:27.519 you see Paul Hayman behind him, they just cut to 381 00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:30.799 commercial and I'm just like, why would you do it? 382 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.000 In that moment where we get to see Paul Hayman 383 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:35.119 for the first time with bron Breaker. Now I know 384 00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:37.480 we're going to see him again and it's going to 385 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:39.720 happen without commercial breaks, I get it, but for a 386 00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:42.880 first time moment, I really wanted to see the full entrance. 387 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:47.119 But nevertheless, we get the match and the match ends 388 00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:49.759 up in a no contest basically ref ruling out Samu 389 00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:53.240 Zain because he basically ate four spears from bron Breaker, 390 00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.559 which was quite brutal. I've got to give respect to Samusein. 391 00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.839 He takes a lot of a lot of hits. Obviously, 392 00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.559 the last most notable one was when he was finding 393 00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:07.519 Kevin Owen's at Elimination Chamber. But respect to him for 394 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:10.920 taking four super spears from bron Breaker. I couldn't imagine 395 00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:15.799 taking one after seeing Speed do it as well, So again, yeah, 396 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.960 that was crazy. But seth Ros then comes into the ring, 397 00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:23.519 gives him a curb stump and basically they just flex 398 00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:27.359 their muscles. Of this new Faction group, and I didn't 399 00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:30.400 mention last week, I was very excited for this group 400 00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.759 and still am excited. But one thing that I will say, 401 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.759
