WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.879 --> 00:00:03.680 It's Thursday, and that means I have a co host 2 00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:06.559 joining me this week. It's Ashley Man who comes on 3 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:09.759 the show and we talk about all of our summersline predictions. 4 00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:11.320 It all starts right now. 5 00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:20.079 Welcome to the WWE Podcast, your place for the most 6 00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.480 passionate wrestling analysis on the web. 7 00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:24.199 Just turn Roman Heel. 8 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:26.280 What is WWE waiting for? 9 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.399 From another wrestling podcast? Put you to sleep? You can 10 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:34.479 count on the WWE Podcast to get you engaged and 11 00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:35.719 asking for more. 12 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.679 I've been watching wrestling for over twenty years and that 13 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.200 was one of the best matches I've ever seen. 14 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.159 This is unlike any other wrestling analysis. So without any 15 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:50.079 further delay, let's get this show started right now. 16 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.920 This is the WWE Podcast on this Thursday, August eighth, 17 00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.640 twenty nineteen, one of my favorite shows of the week 18 00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:01.759 and where I on a co host and we discuss 19 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.319 some of the big ticket items that happened during the week, 20 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:06.400 and if it's a pay per view week, of course, 21 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.480 we give our thoughts and predictions for the show, and 22 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:13.280 this week Ashley Mann joins me and we go over 23 00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:17.519 our Summer Slam predictions. Quite a few interesting thoughts that 24 00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:21.400 she had on who may actually be behind the Roman 25 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:26.760 Reigns mystery attacker, and it may not be somebody anybody's 26 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.319 thinking about right now. Very interesting theory that happens towards 27 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.480 the end of the show, so you'll have to stay 28 00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.640 tuned for that. It's very interesting and very logical as well. 29 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:41.120 She gives us her thoughts on everything, I mean, from 30 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:45.760 the Goldberg saga, him returning, seth Rollins getting beat down. 31 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:48.920 And I said this with her at the very beginning 32 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.480 of the show, and it was a common theme throughout 33 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:55.719 the conversation I had. Is this show, Summer Slam seems 34 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.280 to be too predictable. Too many matches look too easy 35 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.920 to pick. And what happens when that happens? What does 36 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:06.920 WWE do? What does Vince McMahon do? In response, Vince 37 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.000 McMahon throws a curveball when everybody else expects a fastball. 38 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.560 And I really believe that there are some matches on here, 39 00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:18.360 and trust me, Ashley and I give some bold predictions 40 00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.599 on matches that everybody is thinking they have to win. 41 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.719 He or she has to win this match, and we 42 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.199 give some reasons why that may not be the case. 43 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.759 There's some good logic here, and I got a credit 44 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.439 Ashley for bringing up some good points and so that's 45 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:36.479 that's going to be coming in just a minute. But 46 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.800 before I do, I want to again just thank you 47 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.039 for listening to the WWE podcast.

One other thing I 64 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.800 want to mention, and I know that Ashley plugged this 65 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.240 and a couple of times on the show that we 66 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.560 just did, and she's doing a podcast yourself. It's called 67 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:41.120 Wrestle Rewind and it's going to be every Thursday on 68 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:46.960 Facebook Live, I believe. Just search out wressel Rewind and 69 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.039 they're going to be interacting with listeners live. Eventually they're 70 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.479 going to be on Apple Podcasts and all those major 71 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.479 podcast apps, so check them out. I really think that 72 00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.639 it's going to be a great show. I have no 73 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.560 doubt that Ashley is going to be a huge contribution 74 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.759 to the show. She's very smart, well spoken, and passionate 75 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.680 about wrestling. That's really the three things you need. And 76 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.639 so it'll be cool to have live video a different 77 00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.960 format from this show. So hey, not that I'm trying 78 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.719 to tell you guys to leave this show and listen 79 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:16.319 to hers only. 80 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:17.639 I think you could do both. 81 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:19.959 But I have no doubt that it's going to be 82 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.480 a success. So check out Wrestle Rewind on Facebook Live 83 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.879 and I think you'll be glad you did so, guys, 84 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.600 just so you know again, just as a reminder, if 85 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.240 you didn't listen to my shows earlier in the week, 86 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:33.519 I have a wonky schedule. Next week I'll be traveling 87 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.480 to San Diego, for work, So instead of a Sunday 88 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.920 wrestling nostalgia show, it's gonna actually be done Monday. I'll 89 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.519 have a show Tuesday and a show Wednesday. I'm traveling 90 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.279 all day Thursday, so i will not have a chance 91 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.519 to do my normal Thursday gig with my co host. 92 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.240 We may not have one. We may actually skip it 93 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.879 next week. It's just I'm gonna be jet lagged. We'll see, 94 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:55.920 we will see. I will at least have a minimum 95 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.519 of three shows of reviewing Raw, reviewing SmackDown, and wrestling 96 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.040 nostalgia show on Monday. It's gonna be coming out a 97 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.079 little bit later in the day than normal, obviously with 98 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.680 the time change, it's it's gonna be a very wonky week. 99 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.519 I will get you the audio you're craving, so do 100 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.759 not worry. It's gonna be coming your way. So no 101 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.839 worries there. Okay, well, guys, enough of this. Let's just 102 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.199 get to the conversation. Let's get to Summer Slam, which 103 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:22.240 I think is going to be a very interesting show 104 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:27.160 and one that we'll be talking about, no doubt about it. 105 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.160 So without further ado, here's Ashley and myself talking about 106 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.439 Summer Slam. Twenty nineteen. All right, and welcome to the 107 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.240 WWE Podcast on our co host edition, which is Thursday, 108 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:42.439 and this time around it is Ashley Man who's back 109 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.160 and excited to talk to you on a Summer Slam week. 110 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.839 It's already Summer Slam, and I've mentioned this before. It 111 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:50.959 seems like it's coming about three weeks earlier this year. 112 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.920 It seems super early, but it is one of the 113 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.439 biggest pay per views of the year, and I'm excited 114 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.399 to talk about Summer Slam, our predictions and of course 115 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.279 some of the big ticket items that happened during the week. 116 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.040 So Ashley, welcome back to the show, and it's great 117 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:06.920 to have you back on a big Summer Slam week. 118 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.040 Yes, it's so great to be back.

But 182 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:51.320 before we do that, I just want to talk to 183 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.120 you about and get your opinions on because my listeners 184 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.879 have already heard mine. What are your thoughts on some 185 00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:58.840 of the big items this week? And I guess I'll 186 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:04.159 start with Roman reign mystery attacker that apparently is Rowan 187 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.639 but could also be Daniel Brian. I mean you, what 188 00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:08.799 are you thinking about this whole thing? Are you enjoying it? 189 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.360 And who do you think the attacker may be? 190 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.720 I am very intrigued to see where they go with this. 191 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.320 Before the big revealed this week, I kind of saw 192 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.360 a few things on Twitter, you know, with people pointing 193 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.519 out that they it looked like it was Roman and 194 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.240 the screen grabs and everything, so I kind of already 195 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.399 had an idea just from that knowledge beforehand, that. 196 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:31.480 He was probably going to be involved in it. 197 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.799 But I, like, I'm very intrigued with the Daniel Brian 198 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.759 twist for apparently not knowing anything about it and not 199 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.720 being involved and seeing Rowan wouldn't do that, and just 200 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:47.039 pretty much defending Rowan and not presenting it as his 201 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.960 evil brainchild or anything like that or like this master 202 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:51.000 plan to get to Roman. 203 00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:53.159 So I'm actually very intrigued to see how. 204 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.799 They take it and if it's concluded on SummerSlam or 205 00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.720 if it's drawn out for the next few weeks, and 206 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.080 you know, so I'm definite planning excited to see where 207 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:01.720 they go with it. 208 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:03.480 I am too. 209 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.919 I think it's been well done. I I it's something different, 210 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:10.080 you know who done. It is not the newest and 211 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.960 most innovative storyline ever done, but it hasn't been done 212 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.679 in a long time. So it feels fresh because it's 213 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:21.360 been quite some time since anybody, and any especially WW 214 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:25.080 has done this. And I'm intrigued. I like the fact 215 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.320 that it's it feels real. Although some of the camera 216 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.240 angles are a little wonky and questionable and whatever, I've kind. 217 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.000 Of just accepted that. 218 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:38.440 And Samoa Joe was also kind of a side factor here, 219 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:43.240 a sub story of him possibly turning babyface, you know, 220 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.480 with Roman Reigns nearly getting run down to the vehicle 221 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.440 in the parking lot, and Samoa Joe, instead of attacking 222 00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:52.519 him or trash talking him, actually called for help. And 223 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.440 many people took that as a sign that a Samoa 224 00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.919 Joe is turning face. And you know, if that's the case, 225 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:01.279 I think it's it's a good time for him to 226 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:04.679 turn I think that Simojo needs some kind of reboot. 227 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.759 And I know what we're talking about the mystery attacker, 228 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:08.720 but it's kind of a subset. I think that if 229 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.200 Simojo's turning a babyface here, it's a good time to 230 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.679 do it. And I'm interested to see Joe as a babyface. 231 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:17.360 Yeah, definitely mean too. 232 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:21.320 And Joe this week was really intriguing as well, seeing, 233 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.879 like you said, how he reacted and tried to call 234 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:28.320 for help and was really showing sympathy and compassion towards Roman. 235 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:29.960 That was a sign of him that I don't think 236 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.000 we've ever ever seen in WW. 237 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:35.639 So it's really cool and just like we saw a 238 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:36.679 different level of Joe. 239 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.840 And I'm, like you said, very curious to see how 240 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.200 they take this direction as well for Joe, to see 241 00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:45.879 if this is maybe seeds for a full term babyface 242 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.799 or maybe it was just a spur of the moment, 243 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:50.639 I thing, just to try to give us some realism, 244 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.120 maybe get some more sympathy for Roman, and then. 245 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.720 Next week Joe's back to himself. So curious to see 246 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:57.759 where they take that. Also, I am too. 247 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:00.639 And as far as the actual attack goes, I mean 248 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.120 many people are pointing to Daniel Brian. I mean, if 249 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:06.200 you read any of the big wrestling websites out there, 250 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:09.480 they would tell you that this match with Roman was 251 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:14.000 supposed to conclude at SummerSlam with Daniel Bryan and they 252 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.120 just decided not to rush it and they wanted to 253 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.720 play out. And if that's the case, great, I don't 254 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.840 think it's Eric Rowan. I think it's it's a And 255 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:23.600 I talked about this earlier in the week that it's 256 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.080 kind of a a parallel to the Stone Cold Survivors 257 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:30.639 Series two thousand when he was run down or is 258 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.480 it ninety nine s Friviver series ninety nine when Austin 259 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:36.000 was run down by Rakisha and Triple H was the accomplice. 260 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.639 So I think Rowan could be the accomplice and Daniel 261 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:39.559 Brian is the driver. 262 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.039 If that's the case, that's fine. 263 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.559 I think That's good because I'd rather have a storyline 264 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:46.519 play out than just kind of rush it to SummerSlam. 265 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:47.720 And I think it would have felt. 266 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:51.519 Rushed if indeed Daniel Brian is the attacker. I think 267 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.080 it would have felt a little rushed. But you know, 268 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:55.679 I was trying to think of a motive for why 269 00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:57.440 Daniel Brien would do this. The only thing I could 270 00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.519 come up with is that back in twenty five fifteen 271 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.360 when Daniel Brian was supposed to win the Royal Rumble 272 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.519 and the fans revolted and you know, and filling right exactly. 273 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.080 Oh god, Yeah, that was one of my favorite rumbles. Yeah, 274 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:11.720 just for the reaction of the crowd, and. 275 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:14.080 Real quick, before you go on, have you tried to 276 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:17.480 go back and watch that rumble from twenty fifteen, like 277 00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:18.919 that specific one on the network? 278 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:20.919 Have you tried since not on the network? 279 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:22.159 Why are you having trouble doing it? 280 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.759 I swear, and sometimes I feel like it I'm going crazy. 281 00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:27.759 But I've tried to go back and watch that rumble 282 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.600 like a handful of times on various occasions, and it 283 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.879 will not play throughout the whole show, Like I'll get 284 00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:35.960 maybe halfway through and then it just rolls over to 285 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:39.200 the to the twenty sixteen Rumble, and like I've tried 286 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.519 on every different like I've tried on my TV, my phone, everything, 287 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.399 I'm like, why can't I watch this Rumble? And I'm like, 288 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.200 I wonder if it's like a conspiracy since everyone booed rouman. 289 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.519 You know, That's what I was gonna say, is I 290 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.320 think they're still in the middle of editing the crowd reaction. 291 00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:55.000 Yeah right, they haven't sweaked it yet. 292 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.000 But just side notes, so if you have, if it 293 00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.399 comes across your mind, just you know, just for me, 294 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.360 if you don't mind, just try checking that out and 295 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.200 see if it's if it is just me or whatever 296 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:03.720 you said. 297 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.159 It's about halfway through, right, so. 298 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.279 Yeah, yeah, I think it'll show me like maybe maybe 299 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:10.559 not even halfway through, maybe two matches, but I know 300 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.200 I definitely can't see the actual Rumble match itself. 301 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.240 Okay, all right, Yeah, I've given that a try. 302 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.600 That's that's very interesting that out of all pay per views, that's. 303 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.519 The one exactly exactly. 304 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:22.759 Here come all the conspiracy series. 305 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:24.720 But anyway, I'm sorry. 306 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:25.600 No, no, no, that's fine. 307 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:27.600 I actually don't even remember what I was talking about, 308 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:30.039 but I was talking all the slow burn. 309 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:31.200 I'm fine with the slow burn. 310 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.840 I think it's a good thing for storylines to play out, 311 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.799 and patience patients, I think is going to be key 312 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.159 for the success of both brands and the ratings of 313 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:41.559 both brands. And so I don't know about you, I'm 314 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.559 willing to not rush to a match at Summer sum 315 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.120 just because it's Summer Slam, and I'm willing to maybe 316 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.039 just get another piece of it at SummerSlam, but not 317 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.000 end up in a match we just get under the 318 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:51.519 clue as to who's behind this. 319 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:58.559 Yeah, and SummerSlam is already a loaded show of itself, 320 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:00.720 so we definitely don't need any other match at it, 321 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.600 especially a match to that caliber. That's something that you 322 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:05.799 want the fans to look forward to and enjoy. So 323 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:07.960 I definitely don't think they're gonna rush it. And like 324 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:09.840 you said earlier, I think he made a good point. 325 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:11.360 I think if it was going to be Daniel Bryan, 326 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.759 it would have it would have the match would have 327 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.360 been made official for sunder Slam, So I think it's 328 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.679 not officially Daniel Brian as the attacker. 329 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.360 I think we're going to see this playoff for the 330 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.240 next few weeks. 331 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.840 Yeah, exactly, and I think I'm fine with that. All right, Well, 332 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:26.679 moving on to just a couple more things and then 333 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.720 we'll get to our summer Slanne predictions. What did you 334 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.960 think of Seth Rollins getting beat down for a second 335 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:36.759 week in a row, and more importantly, his very somber, 336 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.360 very real after beat down. I guess you'd call it 337 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:45.039 a promo from Seth when he was talking about how 338 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.960 this is all I have. What did you think of 339 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:49.440 that that whole segment on Raw? 340 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:55.000 So me personally, I was hoping I was not going 341 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:56.879 to see Seth on Monday, because I think it really 342 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.440 would have played up the whole him being brilliant and 343 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.360 being injured and just selling the beating that he took 344 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:06.559 from Brocklesner because it was just like an insane beatdown. 345 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:09.120 So when he actually did him out, I was like, 346 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:10.840 all right, well, you know, at least he's at least 347 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.840 he's selling it. At least they aren't like playing it 348 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:15.879 off like you know, he's he's kind of hurting a 349 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:17.799 little bit, but you know, for the most part, he's okay, 350 00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:19.519 and he like ran down or anything crazy. 351 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:21.919 But the thing that stood. 352 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:24.279 Out to me the most was the line he said 353 00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:28.919 at the end where he guarantees victory that I feel like. 354 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.960 Is gonna be a major key one way or another. 355 00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:35.360 I feel like if he guarantees it and he does win, 356 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:38.440 then that just validates him even more as the baby face. 357 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:42.240 But if he guaranteed it and loses, does he kind 358 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.480 of snap starting on Monday? Does he if he loses 359 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.120 to brock Lessner Because he said that's the only thing 360 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:49.440 that he has in his life and that's what he 361 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.240 fights for, that's what he lives for everything, which is true. 362 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:55.159 We've seen video packages and everything like that. 363 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:59.240 But do if he loses, do we see. 364 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:01.120 Him kind of take like not a heel turn, but 365 00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.919 just like a turn towards the dark slide where he 366 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.759 he just loses it, he goes crazy on everyone. He 367 00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:10.640 there's just like the sinister side to him. So I'm look, 368 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.359 I'm looking forward to see who pulls out in the 369 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:17.039 match at SummerSlam, and I guess I'll say my prediction 370 00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:21.480 for later, but yeah, yeah, I'm really intrigued with this 371 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:23.640 one as well, to see what they end up doing 372 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:27.079 with Seth and if he's gonna, you know, win the title, 373 00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.079 and then if he does, who does he face after that, 374 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:33.079 But that's a whole other story.
