Speaker 1: This is WWE Superstar Drew mcintylor, and you're listening to
Speaker 1: the WWE podcast show.
Speaker 2: The one that everybody wants me sixteen.
Speaker 3: So I just up your ass is mind, you're.
Speaker 1: Going to acknowledge me?
Speaker 3: What is going on?
Speaker 2: Everybody, and welcome to another main event review.
Speaker 3: Today.
Speaker 2: We're going to be breaking down the raw post Backlash
Speaker 2: as well as the two main event matches that occurred
Speaker 2: on last week's episode. So probably not much updates from
Speaker 2: me other than that. I guess. It's a sad announcement
Speaker 2: that we got with the death of Sabu. I personally
Speaker 2: didn't know much about him. I heard much about his
Speaker 2: like ECW runs and whatnot, but it I did see
Speaker 2: that he was wrestling the week before he passed, so
Speaker 2: that's extremely sad. And they did mention this on on
Speaker 2: on the episodes before the show aired on SmackDown and
Speaker 2: Main Events. So a very sad loss a big figure
Speaker 2: from the research I've done in the wrestling community.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I guess, yeah.
Speaker 2: Very devastating for those that are obviously were close to
Speaker 2: him and those that were big fans of him in
Speaker 2: the time. But yeah, again, we do have the main
Speaker 2: event show to review, So most of the stuff that
Speaker 2: did occur was off Cross Raw and then the two matches.
Speaker 2: So starting with the two matches, we had the first
Speaker 2: with Tyler Bate taking on Carrying Cross, who once again
Speaker 2: continues to get a massive pop and a massive buzz
Speaker 2: on social media and also on Main Event as well,
Speaker 2: so those that are not seeing him on the main shows,
Speaker 2: he is on Main Event. If you are keen to
Speaker 2: see Carrion Cross, check out Main Event if this's your
Speaker 2: first time listening. But he goes on a match with
Speaker 2: Tyler Bait which was pretty much one side of the
Speaker 2: whole time the way kind of these matches goes. Obviously,
Speaker 2: Carrying Across is the powerhouse here, Tyler Bait getting control
Speaker 2: of the match for most of the stage, and then
Speaker 2: it pretty much took two or three moves for Carrying
Speaker 2: Cross to get the victory here, and he didn't get
Speaker 2: it with the final prayer. He got it with an
Speaker 2: elbow to the back of the head, which looked really
Speaker 2: lethal and something that I'd like to see more often.
Speaker 2: I think a one strike finish for Carrying Cross instead
Speaker 2: of a move set is fitting for the character that
Speaker 2: he's trying to build here, and massive fan of his entrance.
Speaker 2: I like the way he implements scarlet into it, and
Speaker 2: the transition between black and black or black and white
Speaker 2: to color was pretty awesome, and you can just see
Speaker 2: that you know, he's built for the moment. We obviously
Speaker 2: have spoke countless occasions on that viral moment that happened
Speaker 2: post WrestleMania, and everyone is keen to see.
Speaker 3: Carrying Cross get pushed.
Speaker 2: And I look at Money in the Bank and I
Speaker 2: just think, if they are not put him in the match,
Speaker 2: it's going to be uproar from the crowd. So I
Speaker 2: expect to see Carrying Cross in the Money in the
Speaker 2: Bank match. I don't expect him to win it. That
Speaker 2: would be extremely surprising, and that would be great if
Speaker 2: he did. But I definitely think that he has the
Speaker 2: right to be injected into that Money in the Bank match.
Speaker 2: It makes complete sense. Obviously, a multi team match allows
Speaker 2: him to showcase his ability on a PRL and give
Speaker 2: him credit for all the hard work he's doing. I
Speaker 2: take it as you want. He put out a viral
Speaker 2: moment post WrestleMania. His merch is like number one in
Speaker 2: selling at the moment, and as I've mentioned again, he
Speaker 2: fits the par as a perfect villain, a wrestler, and
Speaker 2: someone that is the meaning is a great character. He's
Speaker 2: great on the mic, and I think he'll be able
Speaker 2: to do really big things. I think he's built for
Speaker 2: the moment. You can see it on main event with
Speaker 2: the pops that he's getting. You can even feel it,
Speaker 2: Like I watch the main events and you can just
Speaker 2: tell when superstars are too good or too big for
Speaker 2: the show, and Karen Cross is definitely a prime example
Speaker 2: of that. So definitely want to see him in the
Speaker 2: money in the Bank match. I'm not sure if the
Speaker 2: next episode of Raw will have a qualifier with him involved,
Speaker 2: but if we see him in a triple threat match
Speaker 2: to qualify, let's just hope he wins, and let's hope
Speaker 2: that they make the right decision and put him in
Speaker 2: the match, and that can hopefully get the wheels going
Speaker 2: on this carrying Cross push that we're all so very
Speaker 2: expecting and so we so deserve and he deserves as well.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll keep that in the back of our heads.
Speaker 2: As for Tyler Bait again, I think he needs to
Speaker 2: do something with Pete done. It doesn't see that Pete
Speaker 2: Don's again made an appearance to help him out, support
Speaker 2: him in any in any way or aspects. So Tyler
Speaker 2: Bay did a good job here in putting crossover, but again,
Speaker 2: he hasn't really done much since his return, just been
Speaker 2: on the Main Event shows, and I do expect to
Speaker 2: see something for him, whether it's the new Catch Republic
Speaker 2: still remaining a tag team. I don't really want that,
Speaker 2: but at least it's something I guess. But yeah, nothing
Speaker 2: really much for Tolerbate here. He might just have another
Speaker 2: match next week, and then we get into a bunch
Speaker 2: of replays. So Main Event loves to just recap on
Speaker 2: all episodes, so I don't really mention them much, but
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it anyway. For this episode, basically, the
Speaker 2: match got recapped between Seth Rollins and jay Us before
Speaker 2: the interferences that occurred, and then we had a little
Speaker 2: backstage promo with Rox Sanperez and Julia. And I'm not
Speaker 2: a big NXT guy, so I was quite surprised when
Speaker 2: I saw Julia speaking Japanese. It turns out she is
Speaker 2: fully from They're born in London, but her promo was
Speaker 2: in Japanese and I found that pretty cool. I know
Speaker 2: a lot about Rox san Perez obviously making appearances on
Speaker 2: Rwin's Backdown, but didn't know all that about Julia. Like mad,
Speaker 2: I don't really have time to watch an XT.
Speaker 3: And really see it.
Speaker 2: But it's something that I feel while doing this podcast
Speaker 2: episodes and main event reviews that I should probably look.
Speaker 3: Into in the future.
Speaker 2: But again, that just that was quite astounding, and that
Speaker 2: was really really really cool and impressed if that as well,
Speaker 2: the way that that video promo went out. I think, yeah,
Speaker 2: as we lead up to the main event, there's a
Speaker 2: lot I've got to say about those two and the
Speaker 2: women's division in NXT and how that's going to transcend
Speaker 2: on the main roster as well. Though we did get
Speaker 2: as mentioned, the backlash and the and the replay from
Speaker 2: the flashback from the match between Seth Rolens and j
Speaker 2: So we got Sampunk making his way to the ring
Speaker 2: with a massive ovation uh. He pointed up to the
Speaker 2: sky like Sabu did, so that was a good touch,
Speaker 2: and he basically mentioned that he was pissed off while
Speaker 2: all the things were happening at WrestleMania and basically said
Speaker 2: that he is the most pissed off at himself out
Speaker 2: of all people. He obviously mentioned that this is in
Speaker 2: the first time that Paul Wayman stabbed him in the back,
Speaker 2: so if he's been full twice, it essentially is basically
Speaker 2: his blame. He does mention that Jay Uso warned him
Speaker 2: about Paul Hayman and makes some pretty fun remarks calling
Speaker 2: Paul Hayman a fat little snake, and then mentioning Seth
Speaker 2: Rowlins as a team. You see him Punk as well,
Speaker 2: which was which was really good. It was a pretty
Speaker 2: effective promo. It was great how basically Siam Punk was
Speaker 2: pretty much throwing some real, like lethal kind of dis
Speaker 2: is at him and and Paul Hayman's the right person
Speaker 2: to take those like. He's very brutal on the MIC
Speaker 2: as well, so it's just great how they can kind
Speaker 2: of just exchange words on the MIC.
Speaker 3: He does show up and basically.
Speaker 2: Said came in, and Punk basically said whatever words he chooses,
Speaker 2: they will be his last. And then Seth Rowlins and
Speaker 2: bron Breaker came out. Basically Rolands basically mentioned that he
Speaker 2: put Hayman's life through hell. He basically told Punk that
Speaker 2: he was scum and and believed that like some Seth
Speaker 2: Rowlins wasn't the world champion or Siampunk wasn't the world
Speaker 2: champion because of him, and basically said he'll never be
Speaker 2: the World heavyweight championship as long as Yeah Punk is
Speaker 2: on two feet or Seth Rowlins is around. But basically
Speaker 2: he wondered if Punk loved being on the wrong side
Speaker 2: of history. He claimed that he likes to play victim
Speaker 2: and basically while he wanted he was mentioning all this
Speaker 2: the fans were marking for bron Breaker and said that
Speaker 2: he could arrange basically Punk to get cleaned up. And
Speaker 2: as he got into the ring, there was an attack
Speaker 2: obviously got overpowered by bron and also Seth Rowlins interjecting,
Speaker 2: and then Samusein comes out to help out the fight,
Speaker 2: but then they both get a hold of both of them,
Speaker 2: and then that led to to jay Uso coming out too,
Speaker 2: which was pretty effective. I guess that obviously led up
Speaker 2: to what's going to be happening at Saturday Night's main event,
Speaker 2: and that's going to be Seth Rowlans. I mean, Seth
Speaker 2: Rolins and bron Breaker are taking on Sampunk and Samuzin,
Speaker 2: where I expect that Samusein is.
Speaker 3: Going to be the four guy. He had taking the
Speaker 3: four to bron.
Speaker 2: Breaker and Seth Rowlans wouldn't make sense for them to
Speaker 2: lose their first match together. But we did see Seth
Speaker 2: Rolins backstage basically encouraging bron Breaker to do something and
Speaker 2: that led to him attacking jay Uso later on, which
Speaker 2: was quite interesting. That led to a match with them
Speaker 2: over the next stages. But yeah, I think, as I mentioned,
Speaker 2: with Seth Rolans and bron Breaker, just does seem that
Speaker 2: they're just putting bron Breaker back a little bit, which
Speaker 2: is okay, but I just don't want it to go
Speaker 2: to a point where bron Breakers literally just Seth Rowlans'
Speaker 2: dog is obviously much more than that, and if they
Speaker 2: do that too early, I will find that.
Speaker 3: This group won't last too long.
Speaker 2: I think the early stages have got to be that
Speaker 2: bron Breaker has a voice, shows a lot of power
Speaker 2: and is maybe not even with Seth Rowlans in terms
Speaker 2: of the status, but just underneath to a point. Then
Speaker 2: then we eventually see Seth Rowlands using bron Breaker as
Speaker 2: his dog, everyone gets frustrated with him, and then we
Speaker 2: see the eventual turn. I can really see Brondbreaker winning
Speaker 2: the Royal Rumble next year with seth Rollins as the
Speaker 2: World Heavyweight Champion, and basically the same thing that happened
Speaker 2: with Triple H and Battista back in like two thousand
Speaker 2: and six. I think when he gave the infamous thumbs
Speaker 2: up then thumbs down and chose to stay on Raw
Speaker 2: and they fought for the title at WrestleMania, I think
Speaker 2: that might lead to something there similar.
Speaker 3: It would be great.
Speaker 2: I know people don't like when content gets resurfaced from
Speaker 2: old times, but it would be such a good flush
Speaker 2: in the pan moment to see that kind of happen again,
Speaker 2: just to live back the original moment and also to
Speaker 2: kind of have a modern spin on it too. So yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll have to see what happens there. And I think
Speaker 2: with Samuzain there is going to be an eventual hell turn.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: I think for other sake of jay Us Show's run,
Speaker 2: I think a feud with Samuzain would make the most sense.
Speaker 2: Carrying Cross has obviously spoken into him, so based on
Speaker 2: the track Rockcord, everyone that has spoken to Carrying Cross
Speaker 2: or been influenced by him has ended up turning heel.
Speaker 2: So maybe we'll see that with Samy's Ain. But again
Speaker 2: we'll have to find that what happens there, because besides
Speaker 2: obviously he's filling in for Roman Rainsho's part time, but
Speaker 2: besides that, the there isn't really much for him on
Speaker 2: the storyline. I think he's here to pretty much take
Speaker 2: the fall, and eventually we might have to see this
Speaker 2: run back with Roman Reigns getting involved and having that
Speaker 2: eventual tag team match again repeated. But yeah, we'll have
Speaker 2: to wait and see what happens hum there. Obviously, main
Speaker 2: event is a couple of weeks away, so the actions
Speaker 2: and the things that are going to happen on RAW
Speaker 2: will probably kind of give us more answers there. Then
Speaker 2: we move on to guns coming out, well, j you're
Speaker 2: still coming out, and then guns coming out again basically
Speaker 2: mentioning that the unimaginable came true.
Speaker 3: He didn't.
Speaker 2: I guess he underestimated Jay, but basically he said that
Speaker 2: a month from now, the money in the bank, I'm
Speaker 2: pretty sure, or actually I think.
Speaker 3: It's that.
Speaker 2: One of the other pls, but anyways, I think June nine, Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 2: So what's that is that that's not money in the bank.
Speaker 2: There'll be something else, but they're going to be challenging
Speaker 2: each other for the title, whether it's going to be
Speaker 2: ja Uso or Logan Pool, but most likely it's going
Speaker 2: to be ja Uso maintaining against Logan Pool at main event.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that Gunta.
Speaker 2: Has penciled in that June nine from Phoenix, so I'm
Speaker 2: going to check what that actually is. I'm just writing
Speaker 2: the laptop. Sorry for this, but i want to know
Speaker 2: what that is, like ww, okay, so it's a raw.
Speaker 3: It's just a raw.
Speaker 2: Okay, So they're going to have.
Speaker 3: A match between each other and raw.
Speaker 2: If anyone can tell me the significance of that, that
Speaker 2: would be great, because I just the way that the
Speaker 2: promo was done, it made it act like there was
Speaker 2: going to be like it was going to be at
Speaker 2: Money in the Bank, it was going to be at
Speaker 2: a pr But it seems as though it's going to
Speaker 2: be the night after Money in the Bank or just
Speaker 2: a random raw.
Speaker 3: Which is quite quite interesting.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it doesn't really make sense, but well that
Speaker 2: makes me feel that that Jayus is going to retain
Speaker 2: the title even more now or maybe there might be
Speaker 2: a cash in there.
Speaker 3: You never know.
Speaker 2: We'll have to we'll have to see, we'll have to
Speaker 2: see what happens there, that's going to be pretty interesting.
Speaker 2: But again Gunsa does call that Juso, so guns is
Speaker 2: not done with this feud, and after beating Pat McAfee senselessly,
Speaker 2: it does make sense that the next step would be
Speaker 2: for him to go for the title. And yeah, again
Speaker 2: I don't see Logan Paul beating j Uso there. I
Speaker 2: think this is just a simple filler match that's gonna
Speaker 2: pass very quickly in j USO's title run. We then
Speaker 2: go back to the flashbacks of Johnson around the udience,
Speaker 2: so we know what happened there with Johnson.
Speaker 3: A retaining title money.
Speaker 2: Again, Main Event likes to resurface stuff that's happened in
Speaker 2: previous shows. We then get the match back on main
Speaker 2: Event with the LWO of cuzdal Too and Walking while
Speaker 2: taking on Atown down Under. Atown don do get the
Speaker 2: victory here, which.
Speaker 3: Means that like the LW are pretty much useless. They
Speaker 3: just hear the take losses.
Speaker 2: But it didn't really do anything in terms of the
Speaker 2: tag team between a Town down Under getting better. They
Speaker 2: didn't improve their kind of relationship. It's still very rocky,
Speaker 2: with Grayce and Waller pretty much taking all the credit
Speaker 2: and living off kind of Austin series like Falls and
Speaker 2: Spots where he pretty much gets beat up by the
Speaker 2: opponent and then he comes in and slides in. So
Speaker 2: it's making Grayson Waller look strong and Austin Theory look
Speaker 2: very weak, which is what is the issue with this
Speaker 2: kind of tag team since even now it's been a year,
Speaker 2: but Austin Theory is starting to obviously show that he's
Speaker 2: frustrated as he walked out of the of the of
Speaker 2: the ring and into into the backstage without without Grays
Speaker 2: and Waller. So I think again, these two just break
Speaker 2: up already, like honestly, like it's been a year now,
Speaker 2: I'm just waiting for that to happen. It'll it'll make
Speaker 2: Austin Theory his runs look a little bit better. There
Speaker 2: might be some more plans for him. He might go
Speaker 2: over and a face A face turn might be something
Speaker 2: that could be good for him. So yeah, just break
Speaker 2: up because we're all like sick and tired of it.
Speaker 2: Like again, I love Grayson Waller, Aussie icon, Fello Australian,
Speaker 2: but he's simply here to put Austin Theory over eventually
Speaker 2: because he's much older than him and this tag team
Speaker 2: is really not going anywhere, so yeah, let's get that done.
Speaker 2: We could see like another wildcaft. It won't happen, but
Speaker 2: like imagine we could see like Austin Theory getting into
Speaker 2: the money in the bank match and then like beating
Speaker 2: Grays and Waller in the triple threat and then Grayson
Speaker 2: and Waller getting jealous and costing him.
Speaker 3: That could be like.
Speaker 2: An interesting turn there, but I think Rawle's got so
Speaker 2: many superstars they're not going to put a spot for
Speaker 2: these two anytime soon. Anyways, we do get to the
Speaker 2: main event of the show, and that is the women's
Speaker 2: tag team match between e Skyrie Ripley taking on Julia
Speaker 2: and rox San Perez, with obviously Ria Ripley and Eoskuy
Speaker 2: getting the victory here. Basically, this whole feud and promo
Speaker 2: was pretty much to put Roxane Perez and Julia over
Speaker 2: and basically say that the Netflix, I mean not the Netflix.
Speaker 2: The NXT women's division is ramping up and they're ready
Speaker 2: for the main roster. We know that's confirmed as Julia
Speaker 2: did sign for SmackDown in the latest episode.
Speaker 3: So Julia is going to be moving there.
Speaker 2: I think Roxan Perez may stay on Raw from what
Speaker 2: it looks look to be. But there hasn't been any
Speaker 2: confirmations on her signing. But I like to think that
Speaker 2: she has moved to the main roster. So no draft.
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a draft this year. They
Speaker 2: haven't confirmed the draft. It might just be a signing
Speaker 2: thing now from now on.
Speaker 3: So we'll have.
Speaker 2: To look and see if there is going to be
Speaker 2: a ww draft, But there hasn't been any plans. Actually
Speaker 2: twenty fifth of May might be. But yeah, no announcements
Speaker 2: that I've seen, but we'll have to wait and see.
Speaker 2: Rox and Prez will probably sign for RAW. But again,
Speaker 2: that was just simply a showcase for those two. Put
Speaker 2: them over, get kind of the crowd into them, if
Speaker 2: those that are not being NXT fans like myself are
Speaker 2: to really see how how good they are. And I
Speaker 2: suppose that Stephanie Viquere is going to come up next potentially,
Speaker 2: but for now, ROX and Perez and Julia there and
Speaker 2: Rox and Prez is only twenty three years old, so
Speaker 2: she's looking like she's going to have a super super
Speaker 2: long career in WWE. And it's exciting because the stuff
Speaker 2: she's doing is simply incredible At the moment. Her heel
Speaker 2: works great, her in wing is great, so is Julia's.
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, I think she's amazing too, But
Speaker 2: just looking at her age being only twenty three, is
Speaker 2: just simply crazy that she's going to be on the
Speaker 2: main roster already and be therefore be there for a
Speaker 2: very long time for Guy. As for real Ripley, that
Speaker 2: obviously sets up and as we see it at the
Speaker 2: end with Eskuy holding rear Ripley's hand with the title
Speaker 2: in between them, that rear Ripley is gunning for that
Speaker 2: title and they're going to be having their program.
Speaker 3: As well, and they'll be really good.
Speaker 2: There was plans before obviously what happened with WrestleMania for
Speaker 2: those two to take on each other, but it was
Speaker 2: good that Biancobellia got injected in. It made the feud
Speaker 2: a bit more personal between Ria.
Speaker 3: And having that element.
Speaker 2: But now Eskuy and re Ripley one on one in
Speaker 2: a match for the title is what we're looking at
Speaker 2: at the moment, and that's going to be an exciting
Speaker 2: watch too. But that pretty much wraps the show again.
Speaker 2: Thank you guys for for tuning into this week's episode.
Speaker 2: There wasn't really too much. I don't think anything that
Speaker 2: really changed the movement of storylines in on the main shows.
Speaker 2: The one big thing for main eventage just seeing Carrying
Speaker 2: Cross getting victories, and that's that's huge.
Speaker 3: We want to see that.
Speaker 2: We want to see Carrying Cross push for the stars
Speaker 2: and like the short them to is to see him
Speaker 2: in the money in the bank.
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of Karen Cross.
Speaker 2: I love what he's doing, and I just hope that
Speaker 2: WWD do the right thing by everyone and by himself
Speaker 2: and give him the push. So I'll catch you guys
Speaker 2: on next week's episode and take care as well. Hope
Speaker 2: you guys have a lovely rest of the week.
