2
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:15.919
<v Speaker 1>the WWE podcast show.

<v Speaker 2>The one that everybody wants.

4
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:25.519
<v Speaker 3>Me ste sixteen.

5

<v Speaker 2>So that just rep your ass is mind.

<v Speaker 1>You're going to acknowledge me.

7
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 2>He's going on everybody and welcome back to another main

8
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.520
<v Speaker 2>event review. Thank you very much for tuning in once again.

9
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Speaker 2>We have a break from PLA, so back to normal

10
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>main event proceedings with the two matches and raws last

11
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.479
<v Speaker 2>week's raw to review here, So a quick main event review.

12
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:58.359
<v Speaker 2>But SummerSlam is around the corner. It feels as though

13
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>it's coming very quick and all these storylines need to

14
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of speed up, and it looks like ww are

15
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.519
<v Speaker 2>not playing around with the upcoming matches and the storylines

16
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>and the feuds already setting up a few matches. We

17
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>know that we've got the match between Randy Ordan, Logan

18
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Porvos Logan Ball Drew mcintile with Jelly Roll, which I've

19
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 2>given my opinions on that just don't like the idea

20
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 2>of seeing Randy Orton Andrew mcintie for that matter, in

21
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.760
<v Speaker 2>a match like this. As well, last week we confirmed

22
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 2>that Johnson and Cody Rod will be taking on each

23
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 2>other in the street fright. That one's great. It's great

24
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.920
<v Speaker 2>to see John Coner actually competing in a match that

25
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>isn't just a standard match, a bit of no disqualifications.

26
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Let's see if he does actually take any tables or

27
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.040
<v Speaker 2>chess spots. I know he took obviously the table spot

28
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:54.040
<v Speaker 2>on the latest SmackDown, but we'll see if he takes

29
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 2>some more pain in this match. We also got a

30
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.239
<v Speaker 2>still cage match Solus Sicola taking on Jack if two.

31
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.799
<v Speaker 2>I also like that, and some women's matches confirmed Becky

32
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Lynch taking on Laura Valkyria, and we've also got the

33
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 2>triple Threat match, which we will talk about on this review.

34
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, the matches are coming in quite fast. I

35
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.080
<v Speaker 2>suppose we'll have more coming up. Obviously, Dominicque Stei and

36
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 2>ah Styles most likely go ahead at SummerSlam two. But yeah,

37
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 2>we'll more have come and I guess more to review

38
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.199
<v Speaker 2>in the future episodes if they are obviously premiered on Raw.

39
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 2>But going into the first main event match, we had

40
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Ivanel taken on Maxine Duprix. So these two longtime friends

41
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 2>going back at it in the ring. It feels as

42
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.879
<v Speaker 2>though that they never really had a real program since

43
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.039
<v Speaker 2>ivan Il did turn on Maxine Duprix and join the

44
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 2>American Maid So it's good to see them back in

45
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 2>the ring again. But this is ivan OL's third straight

46
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:58.520
<v Speaker 2>victory against Maxine Deprix. It seems as though that Maxine

47
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>de Prix, despite the improvements she's made in the ring,

48
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 2>which are massive improvement, she looks a lot more confident

49
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.759
<v Speaker 2>in there, and the fact that she is the youngest

50
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.479
<v Speaker 2>superstar and the fact that a lot of fans really

51
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 2>enjoy her and she gets pretty decent pops on main event.

52
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't get the victory here and it comes out of

53
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 2>way that you sort of think that it's protecting her

54
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>with Ivy Nail's foot on the robes. But no momentum

55
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 2>for Maxine Depre and it seems as though no momentum

56
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.719
<v Speaker 2>for her mental and Natalia either, as those two are

57
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>not going near the tag team division either. I did

58
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.520
<v Speaker 2>forget to mention Charlotte Flann Alexa Blizz is going up

59
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:38.400
<v Speaker 2>against Racal and Roxanne for the title, But these guys

60
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 2>have no involvement in that whatsoever. They're a newly formed

61
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>tag team. They haven't really gone or continued off the

62
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.759
<v Speaker 2>fact that Maxines cost them opportunities, and yeah, they're not

63
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.719
<v Speaker 2>really getting anything on the main stage, so I think

64
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Natalia has just settled to be a mentor. But again,

65
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:59.759
<v Speaker 2>no victory here. I think what would make this interesting

66
00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 2>is if Natalia turns on Maxine dupri as well as

67
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 2>probably the only way we could see Maxine getting over

68
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 2>is getting the upper hand against a veteran in Natalia,

69
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.520
<v Speaker 2>because at the moment, if she's taking losses on main

70
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 2>event to ive nal, then that cause for concern personally

71
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:19.319
<v Speaker 2>because she's supposed to be getting these victories so that

72
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>we're able to lean on her more. Hopefully she gets

73
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 2>on a main show because she's still young and she's

74
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 2>got the fan backing and she's making improvements. So not

75
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 2>really sure why creative and not rewarding him here, But

76
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I gets the victory and it doesn't really

77
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>matter for her because we know she's not really going

78
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 2>to do much. We know she's not going to compete

79
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:42.240
<v Speaker 2>for an intercontinental women's title, so don't really understand the

80
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 2>russianale behind not giving Maxine the victory here. And yeah,

81
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 2>I think it's just another mistake here unless the only

82
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:56.040
<v Speaker 2>way with like Superstars that expected to win, don't win,

83
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>is to create more frustration and see how we react

84
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 2>as fans and seeing where the pool and fans are getting,

85
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Like I know they did that with carrying across a

86
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 2>bit and it seems to be working really well, so

87
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.279
<v Speaker 2>maybe they're doing the same from vaccine depri They want

88
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>that reaction from us to see whether we like her

89
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.279
<v Speaker 2>or not, whether we're upset if she wins or losers,

90
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.480
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of people are, so it's good to see.

91
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that might be out of a benefit for her,

92
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.480
<v Speaker 2>so we'll keep track of that. But ivan Ill does

93
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.319
<v Speaker 2>get the victory there. We didn't get a wrap up

94
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 2>of Saturday and it's main event and Evolution, which goes

95
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.839
<v Speaker 2>on for a few minutes honestly, but nothing really important.

96
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>But the first segment of raw starts with Naomi coming

97
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 2>into the ring basically pulling a promo and saying that

98
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.519
<v Speaker 2>the fans, obviously we're cheering for her and giving her

99
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.839
<v Speaker 2>you deserve a chance, but she didn't want to hear

100
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 2>it given that they weren't filling the glow, which is

101
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 2>so true. I love how Naomi came out and addressed this.

102
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.519
<v Speaker 2>It's great to get that reception from the fans obviously,

103
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.040
<v Speaker 2>but sticking to her heel character here was the right move.

104
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 2>And to say that people were obviously now switching up

105
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 2>on her and they weren't feeling the glow. It's true,

106
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 2>no one was, and everyone's feeling this at the moment,

107
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 2>but Naomi is not buying into that, and we're really

108
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:14.439
<v Speaker 2>happy with her character here. She also mentions that no

109
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.120
<v Speaker 2>one expects her first move. Everyone expected her to catch

110
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 2>on Tiffany Straden. Well, I didn't expect her to catch

111
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.000
<v Speaker 2>on Triptany Stradden. I was surprised that she did go

112
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 2>for this title and catching in evolution, But again she

113
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 2>mentions that, and she also mentions that Bianco Bellair shegrew her,

114
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 2>So some bit of tension there with Bianco Bellair. Maybe

115
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 2>we'll see a program with them. I mean, last time

116
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Bianca Bellair was competing, she was on Raw promoting pretty

117
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:49.879
<v Speaker 2>much Nami is replacing her at the moment, but was

118
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.240
<v Speaker 2>in that Wrestlemana triple threat match on Raw. So maybe

119
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 2>we'll see Bianca Bella come back, and that might lead

120
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 2>us to think that Naomi won't lose the title. Surely

121
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.160
<v Speaker 2>not on her first Summer Slam match, but She goes

122
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:03.959
<v Speaker 2>on to say that, and then rear Ripley comes into

123
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.120
<v Speaker 2>the ring mentions that she is upset and that Naomi's

124
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.879
<v Speaker 2>on her hit list, and then that's when obviously Skuy

125
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:15.040
<v Speaker 2>comes in. It's funny when Corey Grave says that yes,

126
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 2>guy's got to be disappointed, and you just see her

127
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>smiling and shaking the hands of everyone else, and I

128
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.319
<v Speaker 2>think that's just er guy is the mean. She can't

129
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.360
<v Speaker 2>come in looking too angry. She wants she's entertainment, she's

130
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:28.839
<v Speaker 2>a show woman and wants to give the fans that

131
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.480
<v Speaker 2>to them. But at the same time, obviously you still

132
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.600
<v Speaker 2>want her to look a bit upset given that she

133
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.920
<v Speaker 2>also got pinned and lost her title in that way.

134
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.279
<v Speaker 2>But she tells Ripley to get in the back of

135
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 2>the line and they get into a bit of an argument.

136
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 2>Naomi says, you're all the way at the back of

137
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.120
<v Speaker 2>the line and none of them are going to compete.

138
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 2>But that's when Adam Pearce comes in announces that triple

139
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.879
<v Speaker 2>threat match. So we're basically getting Naomi replacing Banker Bellat

140
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.519
<v Speaker 2>and another triple threat match here. So another match where

141
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 2>we see real Ripley and Er Skuy going up against

142
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.360
<v Speaker 2>each other, where we can imagine that name is going

143
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 2>to retain the title, but another a monster class between

144
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:11.920
<v Speaker 2>those two is what's going to be expected. Let's see

145
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.240
<v Speaker 2>what happens when Bianca Balaa kind of gets involved, because

146
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:17.839
<v Speaker 2>I do suspect that she will was mentioned, but again,

147
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:20.879
<v Speaker 2>loving this name character. I like that idea that she's

148
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:22.560
<v Speaker 2>on raw as well. A bit of a change and

149
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.279
<v Speaker 2>a mix up for her and suits her character really well.

150
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.199
<v Speaker 2>She is killing it ever since she's turned heel, and

151
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people have called out, including myself, for

152
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:35.600
<v Speaker 2>her to have a heel turn, and she's doing so well.

153
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.799
<v Speaker 2>And some of the stuff I like is she's able

154
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.000
<v Speaker 2>to kind of transition from the glow to proceeding with caution,

155
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:43.559
<v Speaker 2>which is a great catch line, is another great mimic,

156
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:47.240
<v Speaker 2>and that cynical laugh is quite impressive as well. Plus

157
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.440
<v Speaker 2>her mind skills are extremely impressive and she seems a

158
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.039
<v Speaker 2>lot more confident being a heel on the mic too,

159
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.840
<v Speaker 2>so it's great to see. We then have the two

160
00:08:55.919 --> 00:09:00.639
<v Speaker 2>out of three fourths match between Lyra and Beck and

161
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Bailey Sorry, where obviously Lara gets the victory. We had

162
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Bailey get the first pin, which when you get the

163
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.519
<v Speaker 2>first pin, you know that you're going to lose, especially

164
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.440
<v Speaker 2>a hump. The way these matches are kind of constructed,

165
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.440
<v Speaker 2>we had her getting the first pin and then Lara

166
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:19.799
<v Speaker 2>getting the second, and then getting the nightwing and getting

167
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:24.000
<v Speaker 2>the victory here, I believe so, and I think it

168
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.519
<v Speaker 2>was a roll up actually, But Becky comes out to

169
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:30.720
<v Speaker 2>the ring and basically flexes her title and we're going

170
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 2>to see her and Larra go at it once again.

171
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Starting to get sick of this program, but I think

172
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.639
<v Speaker 2>this is the essentially the rubber match between these two,

173
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.559
<v Speaker 2>and I think this is where Laura Valkyria will get

174
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.720
<v Speaker 2>her Summer Slam moment. Becky and Bailey have done a

175
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:49.480
<v Speaker 2>really good job in pushing Laura Valkyria through this program.

176
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker 2>It's really shown that Lara is becoming her own and

177
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:59.519
<v Speaker 2>is really putting a stamp on her I guess popularity

178
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.480
<v Speaker 2>and also her her ability and her quality as well

179
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.720
<v Speaker 2>and being named one of the biggest stars. It seems

180
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 2>as though that there's going to be a lot for

181
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.840
<v Speaker 2>her and I think another solid run with her being

182
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:14.559
<v Speaker 2>the Women's Intercontinental Champion will be great for her, and

183
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.039
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what's going to happen at SummerSlam. It's

184
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:19.600
<v Speaker 2>all leading up to that, it feels, especially taking on

185
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Bailey and then now taking on Becky. We might see

186
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 2>a Bailey Hill turn, who knows, but there's not much

187
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:28.320
<v Speaker 2>for her to do now as Summer Slam, given that

188
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>this food is over, and it feels as though we

189
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:34.759
<v Speaker 2>haven't really seen Becky and Bailey go at it one

190
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:38.399
<v Speaker 2>on one with a result there as well, since Laura

191
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.960
<v Speaker 2>and Valkia costed the match there was a disqualification there.

192
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.960
<v Speaker 2>We still need a program for those two, so hopefully

193
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:47.960
<v Speaker 2>we get one, given that they are the original four

194
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 2>horse women from n XT coming up together and there

195
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:55.840
<v Speaker 2>was some tension there, especially given that Becky costed Bailey

196
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:59.799
<v Speaker 2>her Wrestlemanium and then the opportunity to win those Women's

197
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Take Team championships. So again we'll have to look out

198
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.240
<v Speaker 2>for that one. But at the moment, Bailey hasn't got

199
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:10.000
<v Speaker 2>a SummerSlam opponent, so that's going to be an interesting

200
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.320
<v Speaker 2>thing to kind of look out for there. Maybe she'll

201
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.399
<v Speaker 2>become a special guest referee, or she'll be a mentor

202
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.600
<v Speaker 2>to to Larra. Who knows, we'll find out, I guess

203
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:23.440
<v Speaker 2>before SummerSlam. Now we then get back to the main event,

204
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:28.240
<v Speaker 2>where we have Austin's Theory taking on a Medicano, a

205
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:33.759
<v Speaker 2>much taller Algandamericana, obviously that being Kaiser. Do I like this?

206
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Not really. I feel bad for Kaiser, given that he

207
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.840
<v Speaker 2>is a superstar of great potential and talent. I don't

208
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:44.120
<v Speaker 2>know why they're choosing him to wear the mask. I

209
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.519
<v Speaker 2>think Chad Gable is legit injured. Maybe that's probably why,

210
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.879
<v Speaker 2>but I much prefer Chad Gable as Alejander a Medicano,

211
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.879
<v Speaker 2>and I guess the fact that our Grand Americana can

212
00:11:55.919 --> 00:12:00.600
<v Speaker 2>literally be anyone is what's probably good about the character.

213
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.399
<v Speaker 2>But I think Chad Gable just hones it the best

214
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.320
<v Speaker 2>and Kaiser doesn't really do too much of a good

215
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:08.200
<v Speaker 2>job in there, but I guess it's part of the

216
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:12.159
<v Speaker 2>joke that's going on. He takes on Austin Theory, and

217
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:15.120
<v Speaker 2>like Maxine Deprie, they don't reward Austin Theory or for

218
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.080
<v Speaker 2>win here. They give Algernonde Metakana the win and he

219
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 2>remains undefeated, which is probably why they did it. But

220
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Austin Theory gets another loss, and obviously he's now looking

221
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:31.720
<v Speaker 2>to be a babyface. They still haven't really addressed the

222
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:34.519
<v Speaker 2>formal breakup of him and Grace and Waller, which is

223
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.279
<v Speaker 2>what I'm really waiting for. But I just don't see

224
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.679
<v Speaker 2>why they would give him a lost like he's young,

225
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:44.679
<v Speaker 2>he's upcoming. Bis McMahon really really trusted him, so don't

226
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:47.279
<v Speaker 2>don't understand the reason here. But again, maybe it's because

227
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:50.559
<v Speaker 2>they want to make a gander Kin remain undefeated. I

228
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 2>don't know. But Austin Theory this doesn't help him again,

229
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:56.919
<v Speaker 2>But again, as I mentioned with Maxin Duprix, if fans

230
00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:01.559
<v Speaker 2>continue to remain frustrated, then he might be something that's

231
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.960
<v Speaker 2>better for him as well. But the way that obviously

232
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Grande gets the victory is putting the plate into his

233
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.720
<v Speaker 2>forehead and giving Austin Theory the head buck there. And

234
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.399
<v Speaker 2>he continues to get really good pops of main events.

235
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:19.120
<v Speaker 2>From the main events I've been reviewing, he's clearly been

236
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:21.440
<v Speaker 2>one of the ones that have had the highest pops,

237
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.639
<v Speaker 2>are the loudest pops. Obviously, when carrying a cross was

238
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.480
<v Speaker 2>on there for a few weeks, he was getting massive,

239
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 2>massive pops. But Austin Theory is getting huge pops as well,

240
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.639
<v Speaker 2>considering it is the main event shows, so something that

241
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I think WW needs to push as well, and I

242
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:38.720
<v Speaker 2>think the Grayson Waller feud will help that as well

243
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.480
<v Speaker 2>when they actually decide to formally split these two up.

244
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.519
<v Speaker 2>And I hope that's bloody soon because I've been waiting

245
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:47.200
<v Speaker 2>a very very long time for that and I think

246
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:50.720
<v Speaker 2>everyone has too, and it still hasn't happened. We're almost there,

247
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.200
<v Speaker 2>We're pretty much there, but it just hasn't actually happened

248
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.519
<v Speaker 2>yet where you've seen Grayson Waller attack Theory from behind

249
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.399
<v Speaker 2>or they have a feud between each other. So let's

250
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.039
<v Speaker 2>look at for that. Hopefully, if Austin Theory gets back

251
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:04.720
<v Speaker 2>on main event, he gets a victory and then we

252
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:07.799
<v Speaker 2>can go from there. We then have a little bit

253
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:12.679
<v Speaker 2>of a backstage primo with Paul Hayman, Bronson Reid, and

254
00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:17.240
<v Speaker 2>bron Breaker, basically Paul Hayman saying that Seth Rolins has

255
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:19.840
<v Speaker 2>until next June to catch in, which is a very

256
00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:22.480
<v Speaker 2>good point. It is a very very long time for

257
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Seth Rolins to catch in, and I think with his

258
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:29.759
<v Speaker 2>knee injury, I suppose he'll be back before that. So

259
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:31.919
<v Speaker 2>even if he comes back at the latest Dunion, he

260
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.399
<v Speaker 2>can just come in, cash in and win the title

261
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:38.240
<v Speaker 2>as well. And as I said last week, I may

262
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:41.240
<v Speaker 2>have thought that it's tough for Seth Rollins to leave

263
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.240
<v Speaker 2>at this time, but it really gives an opportunity for

264
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:47.919
<v Speaker 2>bron Breaker to step up and it kind of accelerates

265
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.840
<v Speaker 2>his development a lot more. I wasn't too happy with

266
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:53.679
<v Speaker 2>bron Breaker just being a security guard, and I know

267
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:56.159
<v Speaker 2>that eventually that was going to not happen and that

268
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:57.799
<v Speaker 2>was going to change and bron Breaker was going to

269
00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:01.559
<v Speaker 2>take the reins and be the face of the front

270
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:03.879
<v Speaker 2>of the doing industry for a long time. But it

271
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.759
<v Speaker 2>looks like that's going to be accelerated and massively here

272
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:11.519
<v Speaker 2>leading the Helm. He did really well in that Gordon match.

273
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.240
<v Speaker 2>He eliminated four opponents, which was great. Obviously main event

274
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.799
<v Speaker 2>cuts to the match as Smith transition, but straight to

275
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:23.360
<v Speaker 2>when jay Ulso gets eliminated. That was with the help

276
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:27.039
<v Speaker 2>of Bronson Reid. Before that, he makes quick work of

277
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Penta and then he makes decent work of alle Night

278
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:34.480
<v Speaker 2>as well. So he does he does a pretty good

279
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.039
<v Speaker 2>job Sorr three opponents, not four he eliminated because he

280
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:40.600
<v Speaker 2>did come up against seeing Punk and with the help

281
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:46.200
<v Speaker 2>of j Usso combating Bronson Reid. Punk gets the victory here,

282
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.080
<v Speaker 2>which is what I expected would happen, and he's going

283
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:52.120
<v Speaker 2>to go up against Gunther at Summer Slam, so that

284
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.639
<v Speaker 2>leaves Punk and Gunther two. As I've probably forgot to

285
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:57.679
<v Speaker 2>mention as well, So a lot of these matches are

286
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.480
<v Speaker 2>pretty much getting closed up. There's probably a few more

287
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.279
<v Speaker 2>to get to get finalized, but we've got Punks and

288
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.600
<v Speaker 2>we've got Gunther at Summer Slam too, And before I

289
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.639
<v Speaker 2>get to the stuff that happened after that, I will

290
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.639
<v Speaker 2>talk about that match. I don't really know who's gonna win,

291
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.039
<v Speaker 2>because I think they could give it to Punk, but

292
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Gunsa has been on a tremendous run and he just

293
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:20.840
<v Speaker 2>got his title back, so I don't know if I

294
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:26.679
<v Speaker 2>would see Gunther losing given that he's been on a

295
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.120
<v Speaker 2>tear at the moment, But it is seeing Punk and

296
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.799
<v Speaker 2>seeing Punk breaking through and getting a victory would be

297
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:38.240
<v Speaker 2>fantastic as well. And what could potentially happen is maybe

298
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:41.759
<v Speaker 2>Punk wins, and I've seen little rumors of it. I

299
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.440
<v Speaker 2>still don't think it's true, but maybe we might see

300
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:47.200
<v Speaker 2>seth Rowlans come back and cash in on Punk. That

301
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.159
<v Speaker 2>would be a bit of a spanner in the works.

302
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:51.879
<v Speaker 2>There are rumors that he's faking the injury, but I

303
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:54.559
<v Speaker 2>hope they're wrong, and I think they are. But we

304
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:59.279
<v Speaker 2>haven't really heard much on the news of whether Seph

305
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:01.879
<v Speaker 2>Rowlins has been injured or not. But the way he's

306
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:03.759
<v Speaker 2>the way he went down, it looked like it was

307
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.240
<v Speaker 2>a legit injury because you can't. You can't just get

308
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:09.240
<v Speaker 2>injured doing a flip selling and getting the doctors there

309
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.160
<v Speaker 2>and giving la night at the victory. It just didn't

310
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:13.759
<v Speaker 2>It just didn't make sense for it to be fake.

311
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:17.200
<v Speaker 2>So again, we'll have to see. But if that happened,

312
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:21.000
<v Speaker 2>that would be quite interesting. If not, don't really see

313
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:26.279
<v Speaker 2>how Gunsa doesn't drop the title. But with Sampunk, you

314
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.039
<v Speaker 2>don't know. So that's probably the one where, Yeah, I've

315
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:31.200
<v Speaker 2>got no clue what's going to happen, but it will

316
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:32.799
<v Speaker 2>be a really good match. It's great to see guns

317
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:36.240
<v Speaker 2>actually taking on someone that is of high status of Sampunk.

318
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Ever since he had the belt, he hasn't really defended

319
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:42.759
<v Speaker 2>it against massive opposition. I know they tried to hype

320
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:47.759
<v Speaker 2>Jus as one but not a legend like Sampunk, and

321
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:50.119
<v Speaker 2>obviously it was Goldberg, but that doesn't count because he's

322
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:53.680
<v Speaker 2>not in his He's only his prime, So Sampunk and

323
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Gun through at SummerSlam will be great. We then have

324
00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:59.799
<v Speaker 2>as them two are kind of looking at each other

325
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.759
<v Speaker 2>knowing that they're going to take each other on at Summerslant,

326
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Bronson Reed hits Sampung from behind and Breaker spears Jay

327
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:15.000
<v Speaker 2>and as they're basically about to set them up for

328
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:19.599
<v Speaker 2>a double tsunami, the OTC returns Roman reigns, so he's

329
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:24.680
<v Speaker 2>back pretty much expected, Like, you can't get too surprised

330
00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:26.640
<v Speaker 2>for a Roman Reign return, but you can be really

331
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.200
<v Speaker 2>happy when he does come back. Given his schedule is

332
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.119
<v Speaker 2>quite If I had that work schedule, I'd be loving

333
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:35.799
<v Speaker 2>my life. There's the money he's getting. But right around

334
00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:38.279
<v Speaker 2>the corner from Summerslame, it makes sense that he comes back.

335
00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:41.759
<v Speaker 2>He makes quick work of Bronson Red with a superman punch,

336
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:46.440
<v Speaker 2>and then he does the same to bron Break. I

337
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:49.839
<v Speaker 2>believe if not attacks him, Oh drags him down. That's right.

338
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.759
<v Speaker 2>He drags him down, starts hitting him, and then comes

339
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.200
<v Speaker 2>back into the ring. But we see Roman Rains lift

340
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:58.599
<v Speaker 2>him up for some old drop, showing some great power.

341
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Ramon Rains has got some tremendous power lifting up that

342
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.759
<v Speaker 2>man that with that ease, and then he ends up

343
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:10.960
<v Speaker 2>spearing Bronson Reid as well there, and that also protected

344
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:13.079
<v Speaker 2>bron Breaker, which is great. We don't see Roman Remains

345
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:16.119
<v Speaker 2>and bron Breaker attacking each other, which was fantastic as well.

346
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.559
<v Speaker 2>And then we had Jay who back in the ring

347
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.319
<v Speaker 2>and Cmpunk. You could see that Roman Rains and cm

348
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Punk haven't really sorted themselves out by the way they

349
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.640
<v Speaker 2>looked at each other, but they're probably going to be

350
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:31.160
<v Speaker 2>allies based on the I guess the enemy of your

351
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:34.200
<v Speaker 2>enemy is my friend motto. But then he ends up

352
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 2>going into the ring celebrating Jajushow's there as well, and

353
00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:41.960
<v Speaker 2>from what I've heard, might not be a tag team

354
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:44.279
<v Speaker 2>match between the two, but it might be two singles

355
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:46.960
<v Speaker 2>matches with Jay us So taking on Bronson Reid and

356
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.640
<v Speaker 2>bron Breaker taking on Roman Rains, which will be an

357
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.359
<v Speaker 2>amazing spectacle and something that I didn't think would happen

358
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:54.200
<v Speaker 2>so quick. But this is what I mean when I

359
00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:58.160
<v Speaker 2>say bron Breakers getting elevated at quicker rate now with

360
00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:01.279
<v Speaker 2>Seth Rolin's not being around, so maybe that would have

361
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:05.200
<v Speaker 2>been the match that Seth rollins would have competed in

362
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:08.839
<v Speaker 2>but it looks as though that Remamains will take on

363
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Brown Breaker and that will do a lot of things

364
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:15.920
<v Speaker 2>of the world of good for bron Breaker's career taking

365
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.279
<v Speaker 2>on someone like Romanmains. But it's always good to see

366
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.599
<v Speaker 2>Ramemains back. It comes right before some Slam, which is expected,

367
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:27.400
<v Speaker 2>and SummerSlam is slowly shaping up. As mentioned, We've got

368
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:31.400
<v Speaker 2>obviously Raw coming up this week to probably tie up

369
00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:34.839
<v Speaker 2>some more loose ends on storylines and also setting up

370
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:40.240
<v Speaker 2>some further matches. I believe just the Intercontinental Championship and

371
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:43.200
<v Speaker 2>this kind of new faction will be sorted and then

372
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:48.160
<v Speaker 2>on SmackDown we still have the Women's United States Championship

373
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:50.599
<v Speaker 2>to kind of get wrapped up as well. We might

374
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:52.720
<v Speaker 2>see a match at some Slam. If not, we'll probably

375
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:55.759
<v Speaker 2>see one on a standard show, but we'll have to

376
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:58.599
<v Speaker 2>wait and see. But again, it's been your boy, Daniel.

377
