<v Speaker 1>What is going on everybody, and welcome to another episode
<v Speaker 1>of the Main Event Review. It's been a couple of
<v Speaker 1>weeks since I have done an episode. Last week I
<v Speaker 1>was obviously on holidays, so I wasn't able to record,
<v Speaker 1>but the week before I actually came from overseas as well,
<v Speaker 1>which I did bring my equipment with me, and from
<v Speaker 1>coming back and going to it was a cruise that
<v Speaker 1>I went to on my second I wouldn't say holiday
<v Speaker 1>the first one because I was working there, but coming
<v Speaker 1>from Spain back to Australia, they lost my suitcase in
<v Speaker 1>the midst of that travel, so three days later I
<v Speaker 1>was off on the cruise and didn't have my podcast
<v Speaker 1>equipment to record an episode between the time that I
<v Speaker 1>came back in the time that I left, So that
<v Speaker 1>obviously meant that I missed two episodes unfortunately, But back
<v Speaker 1>again with a Main Event review, and honestly, it's a
<v Speaker 1>great time to come back into it because one we're
<v Speaker 1>actually getting rematches to review on Main Event, and the
<v Speaker 1>whole episode is just those three matches, which is something
<v Speaker 1>that I haven't seen in a long time, which is awesome.
<v Speaker 1>And then the other reason is because we're going to
<v Speaker 1>be reviewing the Royal Rumble. Obviously, the Royal Rumble was underway,
<v Speaker 1>and you know, a lot of people have said that
<v Speaker 1>it was very underwhelming, and I couldn't agree more. I
<v Speaker 1>think it's another case of another pl just being what
<v Speaker 1>it is, and I wouldn't be so critical for how
<v Speaker 1>good or bad it is if Triple H kept not
<v Speaker 1>telling us and kept telling us that it was just
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be groundbreaking, it's going to be shocking.
<v Speaker 1>He just hypes it up all the time, and it's
<v Speaker 1>like we're expecting something to happen that's crazy, but nothing happens,
<v Speaker 1>and you just get disappointed. It feels as though that
<v Speaker 1>at this point, I prefer Triple Ah just to be
<v Speaker 1>quiet and let us just make our own judgment and
<v Speaker 1>review for it, because you're expecting a j Lee. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know if she was going to come out at
<v Speaker 1>the Roller Rumble, Bianca Ballet, and on the men's side,
<v Speaker 1>Chris Jericho, like no one came out to anyone's crazy surprise,
<v Speaker 1>Like they announced brock Lesner's return, they pretty much announced
<v Speaker 1>Roman Yins' return. We found out that Alba Fami was
<v Speaker 1>going to be in the Royal Rumble, like all these
<v Speaker 1>things happen and can't sit there and be shocked about it,
<v Speaker 1>but we'll review it. We'll go through the three main
<v Speaker 1>event matches first, and these happened, I'm pretty sure across
<v Speaker 1>Raw and in Canada as well. Four main events so well,
<v Speaker 1>Saturday Night's main event. But the first match is Apollo
<v Speaker 1>Cruise taking on Kick Wilson and Mane Kid. Wilson's over.
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy. His new toxic masculinity persona seems to be
<v Speaker 1>resonating really well with the fans, and I think he's
<v Speaker 1>doing a really good, really good job in that, and
<v Speaker 1>you know, having that sort of feud with Matt Cardona
<v Speaker 1>attacking him while his music was playing, and that continuing
<v Speaker 1>is awesome and continuing to yell out that everyone is toxic,
<v Speaker 1>doing a great job, and they reward him for a
<v Speaker 1>victory against Apollo Cruz, who, yeah, he's come out of nowhere.
<v Speaker 1>He's been injured, but doesn't seem like he's going to
<v Speaker 1>be too much, continuing to take pin falls. They both
<v Speaker 1>don't get into the Royal Rumbull. I would have liked
<v Speaker 1>to see Kit Wilson there just to see how his
<v Speaker 1>reaction would have been and what would have happened, but
<v Speaker 1>again he gets He gets a much of the victory
<v Speaker 1>and some good momentum going into SmackDown, where I'm sure
<v Speaker 1>he will continue to get some airtime there and continue
<v Speaker 1>to grow his individual character. And to be fair, he
<v Speaker 1>was pretty deadly for a long time, and now that
<v Speaker 1>Alson Prince is gone, he has an opportunity to shine
<v Speaker 1>as a single star and I really wish the best
<v Speaker 1>of him. And then we get Maxine Dupree taking on
<v Speaker 1>Ivy Nile, So another match between these two where we
<v Speaker 1>had Maxine Dupree getting the victory here against Ivy Nile,
<v Speaker 1>again something that was probably obviously expected. Maxine Deprix has
<v Speaker 1>improved and evolved since winning the Women's Intercontinental title, so
<v Speaker 1>I don't expect her dropping a match against Ivy Nile. Now,
<v Speaker 1>the plans for Maxine, we don't know what they're going
<v Speaker 1>to be, because I think ever since she's lost the title,
<v Speaker 1>it looks as though she's going to be battling Naddy,
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, Naddy is looking to go
<v Speaker 1>for the Intercontinental title as well, so who knows what
<v Speaker 1>that outlook's going to be. And I don't know how
<v Speaker 1>aj Lee gets involved in all This is where the
<v Speaker 1>storyline gets scattered, and we'll talk about more of them
<v Speaker 1>in the Royal Rumble, the Women's Royal Rumble, because obviously
<v Speaker 1>Becky Lynch got eliminated by Naddy and that just kind of,
<v Speaker 1>you know, changes sort of the complexion of everything to me.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, Maxine is probably going to be taking on
<v Speaker 1>Naddy in a feud. Naddy is going to be putting
<v Speaker 1>her over, and I'm excited to see how he'll. Naddy
<v Speaker 1>will be against the young Maxine Depriv who I think
<v Speaker 1>really needs to get on top of this feud get
<v Speaker 1>the victory in it. So yeah, we'll be looking into
<v Speaker 1>that and we'll be obviously watching what happens there. But
<v Speaker 1>in terms of this match, I think it brings momentum
<v Speaker 1>into that Ivy and I was not doing match as normal,
<v Speaker 1>not even a lightning with the Creed brothers, So we'll
<v Speaker 1>see what happens with her as well, because she doesn't
<v Speaker 1>look like she's going to get near the titles, so yeah,
<v Speaker 1>we'll continue to probably just only see her on main event.
<v Speaker 1>We then had the final match, which is all again
<v Speaker 1>while taking on Rusev and Man Russev Man, What's happened
<v Speaker 1>to him. They can't seem to find anything for him
<v Speaker 1>at the moment. He's gone super downhill to the point
<v Speaker 1>where he's on the main event, and he does get
<v Speaker 1>the victory here because I don't think wakin While has
<v Speaker 1>any chance of winning or has any right to win,
<v Speaker 1>to be honest against Russev. But what are we doing
<v Speaker 1>with Rusev? Now? WrestleMania is coming close? And ever since
<v Speaker 1>the last time he's now tournament, he's done nothing either,
<v Speaker 1>So does he continue to be on main event? We
<v Speaker 1>know what happened in the Royal Rumble. He literally lasted
<v Speaker 1>less than two minutes, which honestly is a disgrace. There
<v Speaker 1>was a big opportunity for him to be able to
<v Speaker 1>just showcase his skill and his ability and then trying
<v Speaker 1>to put himself over again, but that certainly didn't happen,
<v Speaker 1>and that was a bit of a shame as well.
<v Speaker 1>So unfortunately Russev is in that situation and you know
<v Speaker 1>it's Wrestlemaine is coming close, and he might not get
<v Speaker 1>a spot in the club for that, and that pretty
<v Speaker 1>much yeah, wraps up main event. There isn't really too
<v Speaker 1>much to go on there with the three matches in
<v Speaker 1>terms of storylines. I think you know, the ones that
<v Speaker 1>we're looking out for the most is Kid Wilson and
<v Speaker 1>Maxine Deprix, especially because they're getting a lot of airtime
<v Speaker 1>the rest aren't, so there isn't really much to talk
<v Speaker 1>about on their end, but will continue to obviously see
<v Speaker 1>how they go, see how the superstars perform this year.
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully we don't see superstars that don't deserve to be
<v Speaker 1>there on there, and we look at some young ones
<v Speaker 1>for sure as well. I'd be keen to see two
<v Speaker 1>williams Oberfemi Javon Evans make an appearance now that they're
<v Speaker 1>on the main roster. It would be pretty cool. But
<v Speaker 1>we'll move on to the Royal Rumble. We'll do a
<v Speaker 1>quick fired review of it because I'm sure you'll get
<v Speaker 1>all the content from Matt regarding the Royal Rumble. But
<v Speaker 1>essentially the first match was the Women's Royal Rumble. Honestly,
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea who was going to win this.
<v Speaker 1>If I had to predict before the match started, I
<v Speaker 1>would have went with either Tiffany Stratton or Bianca Ballet,
<v Speaker 1>But Bianca Ballet didn't come so that didn't happen, and
<v Speaker 1>I think they went with that route last years Charlott
<v Speaker 1>Flair coming, so they went with a bit of an
<v Speaker 1>obscure choice and a choice where I'm not complaining. To
<v Speaker 1>be honest, I'm actually quite happy. So yeah, Morgan taking
<v Speaker 1>it out, that's awesome. Like, I think it's the right decision.
<v Speaker 1>I think that it's a pretty good thing, and I
<v Speaker 1>think that it's going to be very interesting to see
<v Speaker 1>what happened with the judgment day because obviously Live Morgan
<v Speaker 1>eliminated Raquel Rodriguez, who is going to be going for
<v Speaker 1>the title now. Live has said that the plan is
<v Speaker 1>that she'll be challenging for the other championship if Racola
<v Speaker 1>Driguez wins tomorrow, but I'm assuming that that's not going
<v Speaker 1>to happen, So Raw is going to be able to
<v Speaker 1>give us a lot of answers as to what will happen.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Raccol Rodriguez wins and we get a Live RACAOL WrestleMania,
<v Speaker 1>who knows. But I'm actually sort of keen to see
<v Speaker 1>what will happen with liv Morgan, and she's obviously going
<v Speaker 1>to be going for the women's world title, whether it's
<v Speaker 1>going to be Stephanie Veracer or it's going to be
<v Speaker 1>Rocall Rodriguez. We'll find out, but definitely that storyline is awesome,
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I'm happy with the Live Morgan win there.
<v Speaker 1>I think it was the right decision. In the end
<v Speaker 1>of the day, we had Brie Brola retaining, and everyone
<v Speaker 1>was more happy for Daniel Brian. They were doing the
<v Speaker 1>Yes Chance for Daniel Bryan more so than Bri. It
<v Speaker 1>was cool that she was able to do the yes kicks.
<v Speaker 1>That was awesome. It brought me back to the time
<v Speaker 1>where I told you Daniel Brian was one of my
<v Speaker 1>favorites growing up. I have to be honest, I was
<v Speaker 1>very much into the Baby Faces when I was a kid,
<v Speaker 1>and Daniel Bryan was just awesome and I love this
<v Speaker 1>Yes Chance, So seeing that back was just a bit
<v Speaker 1>of a nostalgic for me. And you know, he really
<v Speaker 1>cares if they're back. To be honest, like, they're not groundbreaking.
<v Speaker 1>If they go for the women's tag team titles, it
<v Speaker 1>might be a bit interesting, but otherwise I don't really
<v Speaker 1>see them doing much and I hope that she's not
<v Speaker 1>there full time. But yeah, Bribala made her return, but
<v Speaker 1>it was all about Live Morgan getting the victory there.
<v Speaker 1>We'll have to see what happens with Charlotte Flair and
<v Speaker 1>Alexi Bliss. There's a bit of tension there, and we
<v Speaker 1>have to give it to lash Leisure, who just dominated
<v Speaker 1>the rumble, which I don't think was surprise to anyone,
<v Speaker 1>but it was awesome to see. We then get onto
<v Speaker 1>the second match, which is aj Styles taking on Gunfa,
<v Speaker 1>and I actually did predict that in before this, I
<v Speaker 1>would have predicted that Gunfar would have won the match.
<v Speaker 1>I just think considering we saw aj Styles take on
<v Speaker 1>Shinskain Kamura and see them punk so abruptly for the
<v Speaker 1>world title, I felt like those were like the only
<v Speaker 1>two matches realistically that Aged had to have in WWE
<v Speaker 1>before retiring, and we got to see both of them.
<v Speaker 1>I think what sold it for me was the Knakamura
<v Speaker 1>one for sure, because Nakamura, let's be honest, hasn't been
<v Speaker 1>doing anything on the main roster for a long time now,
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, they get a main event
<v Speaker 1>match on Saturday Night's main event, which is like quite
<v Speaker 1>quite random. Like the only reason why it's such a
<v Speaker 1>big match is because we all know the history between
<v Speaker 1>those two and we all know how unbelievable they both
<v Speaker 1>are in ring and how much chemistry they have together
<v Speaker 1>as well, so it makes sense that they have that
<v Speaker 1>match and they sort of close off the chapter between
<v Speaker 1>them as I think the way to go. So yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I think that was sort of the main sort of
<v Speaker 1>reason why they had it, and that's why I was
<v Speaker 1>more than convinced that ages I was going to retire
<v Speaker 1>and gunp was going to put him down, and that
<v Speaker 1>got more sort of proven when he versediting Punk for
<v Speaker 1>the title when getting in the match. So yeah, ages
<v Speaker 1>Styles retiring, I mean, it's sad, but I don't think
<v Speaker 1>we need another Johnsen retirement chore. But Agent then put
<v Speaker 1>the gloves down, So I don't really know what that
<v Speaker 1>means that he stopped wrestling as he retired only from WWE.
<v Speaker 1>Who knows, but I think I'm hoping that he's just
<v Speaker 1>for the sake of the storyline, not for aj Styles.
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to miss him a lot, but for the
<v Speaker 1>fact that Gunthera is going to go really over for
<v Speaker 1>this more than ever and more hated for putting down
<v Speaker 1>supposedly three people. According to him, he didn't technically do it,
<v Speaker 1>but you know, part of the storyline is he beat
<v Speaker 1>John Cena, Goldberg and Ages Styles on their final matches
<v Speaker 1>in wrestling, so I think they need to continue that
<v Speaker 1>train and Ages Styles being another one involved is pretty cool.
<v Speaker 1>And you know, Ganntha is just getting nuclear heat at
<v Speaker 1>the moment and that's what we want to see. And
<v Speaker 1>can he do it to brock LESNA. They're saying brock
<v Speaker 1>Les is going to retire this year, so that might happen.
<v Speaker 1>But Ages Styles was going to be missed, unbelievable and ring.
<v Speaker 1>I remember back in his TENNA days as a kid
<v Speaker 1>watching him and only knowing him from TNA, being just
<v Speaker 1>that bias WWE fan to see him come on the
<v Speaker 1>WWE work there for ten years and just bringing joy
<v Speaker 1>and just in a phenomenal in ring performer. He really
<v Speaker 1>is phenomenal. He's going to be truly missed. And I
<v Speaker 1>really did enjoying his sort of final run here when
<v Speaker 1>he came back, and it started with Logan Paul and
<v Speaker 1>then ended up obviously with the match of John Cena
<v Speaker 1>winning the tag team titles as well with Dragon Lee
<v Speaker 1>and having those pretty awesome matches too. So AJ Styles
<v Speaker 1>is most definitely going to be missed, that's for sure.
<v Speaker 1>And We'll wish him the best in his future. If
<v Speaker 1>he does wrestle in TNA, that won't be the worst thing.
<v Speaker 1>But again, Ganta's getting all the heat here, which is
<v Speaker 1>also pretty cool as well. We then get the second
<v Speaker 1>match for the ww Championship with Drew McIntire taking on
<v Speaker 1>Samuzain and yes, Drew McIntyre one, are we surprised, not
<v Speaker 1>really not, And unfortunately Samuzain doesn't have the opportunity to
<v Speaker 1>go for the title of WrestleMania unless something crazy happens,
<v Speaker 1>but looks like it's not gonna happen, and you know,
<v Speaker 1>it's another hump that Samisein has to climb, and you know,
<v Speaker 1>one day you'll potentially be a world champion. But we're
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to wait a little bit longer because I
<v Speaker 1>think it's unfair for Drew to drop the title. And
<v Speaker 1>obviously he's eleven to zero against Samuse now he's twelve,
<v Speaker 1>and oh he hasn't beaten him. And you know, Drew
<v Speaker 1>mcintiy is doing an awesome job with the title and
<v Speaker 1>I think it looks really good around him, and I
<v Speaker 1>think it makes for more compelling storylines with babyfaces trying
<v Speaker 1>to get that WrestleMania moment against him. So I don't
<v Speaker 1>think Drew needs to drop the title anytime soon. I
<v Speaker 1>think he's doing a fantastic job. I think he holds
<v Speaker 1>it out as further as he can, even all the
<v Speaker 1>way to Summer Slam if possible, because I think he's
<v Speaker 1>doing a great job with that, and it just looks
<v Speaker 1>so good to see him with a championship because honestly,
<v Speaker 1>he thoroughly deserves it. Sami Zin is gonna have to
<v Speaker 1>probably go through elimination chamber. He might be in the
<v Speaker 1>in the chamber match I think will be him, Cody Rhodes,
<v Speaker 1>Randy Ordan, Alle Knights, maybe one of the members of
<v Speaker 1>the Vision, bron Breaker and someone else. So I thought,
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna happen, maybe brocolys N if they
<v Speaker 1>want to get some like sort of big boost there.
<v Speaker 1>I think that would be compelling as well to have
<v Speaker 1>those people in there. I'm keen for what the chamber
<v Speaker 1>will be. I'm sure they'll lud that up to it
<v Speaker 1>very very soon. But yeah, Drew mcintized champion and Samuzain
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately doesn't go over the hump, and I do hope
<v Speaker 1>Samuse becomes a champion one day, but I don't think
<v Speaker 1>the time's right now. And then we get the main event,
<v Speaker 1>which is the Men's Royal Rumble, and I had no idea. Again,
<v Speaker 1>the problem and the reason why I couldn't predict this
<v Speaker 1>is because they didn't hype up the rumble enough, Like
<v Speaker 1>it felt so rushed and we got these predictions and
<v Speaker 1>people declaring so quick and there was not enough promo
<v Speaker 1>to it that I wasn't able to really gauge what
<v Speaker 1>storylines could be and who could win the rumble. So
<v Speaker 1>for me, I had no idea. I would have thought
<v Speaker 1>maybe it would be bron Breaker. I would have thought
<v Speaker 1>at the time it could have been Kantha. I know
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy. I know when he declared it was late,
<v Speaker 1>maybe not him, But like I honestly, I didn't have
<v Speaker 1>a clue who could have been Maybe far too like
<v Speaker 1>Roman Rains ended up being the most safest choice, and
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, I didn't want to really see that.
<v Speaker 1>But at the end of the day, I think it's
<v Speaker 1>the most predictable and probably smartest choice to have, and
<v Speaker 1>also the safest choice. Roman Rains is obviously a legend,
<v Speaker 1>he's a superstar, and you know that he's going to
<v Speaker 1>put out an unbelievable performance and deliver a good storyline
<v Speaker 1>for them. And look, I think he goes off to
<v Speaker 1>see him punk, but it could go one or two ways.
<v Speaker 1>He obviously has feuds if everyone and history of everyone.
<v Speaker 1>It really depends who he chooses and how the elimination
<v Speaker 1>chamber goes. But right now I'm really lost as to
<v Speaker 1>what's going to happen for WrestleMania. So I'm really excited
<v Speaker 1>to follow this journey and see how it goes because
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea. But in terms of the spots,
<v Speaker 1>mister Iguana, I don't no one cares about. That was
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool to see, given that I watched a bit
<v Speaker 1>of Triple R No Christ Jericho and I said it
<v Speaker 1>was a shame, you know, of a family. Dominated was unbelievable.
<v Speaker 1>When Ron Breaker came out, a mass man obviously attacked
<v Speaker 1>him and hit him with a curbs Tom to me,
<v Speaker 1>it didn't look like seth Rowlans, but obviously it most
<v Speaker 1>likely will be. But then why have him masked? Like
<v Speaker 1>it would be obvious that seth Rowlins would attack ron
<v Speaker 1>Break after what he did, so why would he mask him.
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of questions that are unanswered there. It
<v Speaker 1>could be Austin theory, it could be someone else who
<v Speaker 1>who who bloody knows. But if it's really Seth Rowlands,
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you would need to mask him. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know, like it's the easy and obvious decision that
<v Speaker 1>it could be him. But I'm gonna hold onto thinking
<v Speaker 1>that it is Seth Rolins, hoping that it is someone
<v Speaker 1>else for the element of surprise, and then when it
<v Speaker 1>is Seth Rolins, it's just like, ah, here we go,
<v Speaker 1>like another mass man did nick that we needed, Like
<v Speaker 1>it's another Austin Theory two point zero. Like the reveal
<v Speaker 1>of Austin Theory was super underwhelming, Like they could have
<v Speaker 1>just revealed him then and there, and they're doing this
<v Speaker 1>same thing here. So I'm hoping it's not Seth Roles
<v Speaker 1>because I don't think everyone will be excited. But it
<v Speaker 1>was awesome to see and I think it was like
<v Speaker 1>the right thing to do because Brombreaker was obviously hype
<v Speaker 1>to win the Rumble, and you thought that he was
<v Speaker 1>really a chance he will win a rumble one day.
<v Speaker 1>That's the certain I can basically guarantee that they're really
<v Speaker 1>trying to push him, but having him go number two
<v Speaker 1>and having that backstage argument that Paul Hayman and Adam
<v Speaker 1>Pierce had before the Royal Rumble to then getting eliminated
<v Speaker 1>by Obafemio Star was just pretty awesome. And now broad
<v Speaker 1>Breaker is going to be super unhinged and go crazy
<v Speaker 1>and that will be a good build up for his
<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania story as well. In terms of other things, we
<v Speaker 1>had obviously Cody Rhodes accidentally cutting Randy Orten, so I'm
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure that's going to be something that we're going
<v Speaker 1>to look back to. And yeah, you know what, Randy
<v Speaker 1>Orten was someone that I thought would have won it
<v Speaker 1>when the final four was there, I thought maybe Randy
<v Speaker 1>Orden could be the guy that gets the victory here,
<v Speaker 1>especially when it was the three of them. But no,
<v Speaker 1>that didn't happen. We had Jacob Fattou and Cody Rhodes
<v Speaker 1>continuing their rivalry, Roman Rain's eliminating both cousins as well,
<v Speaker 1>which is pretty cool. Yeah, look, people don't like the
<v Speaker 1>yeating in the middle of the matches, but I kind
<v Speaker 1>of find it funny and I'm glad that it happened,
<v Speaker 1>and it was a pretty cool moment for me. But
<v Speaker 1>Drew McIntire costing Cody Roads. The Royal Rumble frustrates me
<v Speaker 1>because obviously now it feels as though we're going to
<v Speaker 1>get a Cody Roads Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania. It's given
<v Speaker 1>the excuse for that storyline to go. And you know,
<v Speaker 1>how does Jack Fatuo get involved in this? Maybe they
<v Speaker 1>do a triple threat, who knows. But jaj Fattou has
<v Speaker 1>definitely got a lot to say when it comes to
<v Speaker 1>these two because obviously he wants to find out who
<v Speaker 1>attacked him in the first place, and he still thinks
<v Speaker 1>it's Drew McIntyre when it's not. So that's all for
<v Speaker 1>interesting stuff. In terms of the new other sort of appearances,
<v Speaker 1>we had Powerhouse Hobbs. That was awesome. He looks like
<v Speaker 1>a machine. I'm very excited to see how he goes
<v Speaker 1>and awesome displays. Like again, like I said from Oberfeme
<v Speaker 1>from Javon Evans and speaking on this train now I've
<v Speaker 1>thought about it. The one thing I loved about the
<v Speaker 1>Royal Rumble, and I think the standout performer of the
<v Speaker 1>night was definitely Soul Rooker. She was unbelievable and I'm
<v Speaker 1>a massive fan of her. Her soul snatches unbelievable as well,
<v Speaker 1>and I think she did a really good job, especially
<v Speaker 1>getting into the top three of the Royal Rumble as well.
<v Speaker 1>I think that was awesome and I'm so glad Soul
<v Speaker 1>Rooker had the opportunity to display herself on the main
<v Speaker 1>stage and sooner them rather than later. I think she's
<v Speaker 1>gonna get signed up. She was awesome. Shout out to
<v Speaker 1>her for sure. Brock Lesner came in the Men's Royal
<v Speaker 1>Rumble and literally got eliminated while j Usso was yeating,
<v Speaker 1>which is quite crazy, quite crazy, if I'm honest, Like,
<v Speaker 1>I'm quite shocked at that they did that. Like, I
<v Speaker 1>didn't expect him to win the Rumble, but I didn't
<v Speaker 1>expect him to get eliminated like that. I feel like
<v Speaker 1>that was extremely underwhelming. He got eliminated by Cody Rhodes
<v Speaker 1>and Ali Knight, who had the loudest pop. I think
<v Speaker 1>of anyone that came out that wasn't Roman Reigns and
<v Speaker 1>and for that to happen means that the fans are
<v Speaker 1>really gravitating to La and I. They know he's been
<v Speaker 1>getting screwed over and this is the year that he
<v Speaker 1>needs to become a world champion. He took out the Vision,
<v Speaker 1>he took out Austin Theory, he took out Bronson Reid.
<v Speaker 1>He obviously is over. He's done a lot of good stuff.
<v Speaker 1>He didn't get into the Survivor Series Wargames match over
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Uso, which was I think stupid. He was battling,
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Vision for all those years, he got
<v Speaker 1>screwed over so many times. He hasn't won a world championship.
<v Speaker 1>He deserves something. This year, they need to give him something,
<v Speaker 1>and they put him involved with the Vision. So let's
<v Speaker 1>see what happens with him there, because I think that
<v Speaker 1>he deserves something, and I think that the fans have
<v Speaker 1>shown and you know, you look at Unreal, you look
<v Speaker 1>at everything that Triple H says. If you have a
<v Speaker 1>connection with the fans, the fans choose you. The fans
<v Speaker 1>are certainly choosing La and I, and they need to
<v Speaker 1>do something with him. I hope he gets into the chain.
<v Speaker 1>He deserves to be in there. I think he should,
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll go from there. Maybe Summer Slam, he
<v Speaker 1>gets his victory and he becomes a world champion. But
<v Speaker 1>I do think he deserves to become World Everyweight Champion
<v Speaker 1>because he's been doing great things and we haven't seen
<v Speaker 1>him in a while, and the fans were really happy
<v Speaker 1>to see him, so like, how can you complain? Shout
<v Speaker 1>out to gun Through as well as the runners up. Again,
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he came into the match just showed
<v Speaker 1>his dominance and you know, if you wondered, that would
<v Speaker 1>have been cool. But again, Roman Reigns is the roy
<v Speaker 1>Rumble winner. Again, it's not the most like best choice
<v Speaker 1>if you want to be happy, excited or surprise, but
<v Speaker 1>I think wwe went with the most safest choice and
<v Speaker 1>you can't knock them for that. So you know, that
<v Speaker 1>concludes the Royal Rumble review and that also concludes the
<v Speaker 1>main event review. Thank you very much for tuning in
<v Speaker 1>once again. I'll be back next week to get proper
<v Speaker 1>main event reviews. Rolling as we go on to Raw
<v Speaker 1>and we lead up to Elimination Chamber and as soon
<v Speaker 1>as we know it, we'll have another wrestle Mania. They
<v Speaker 1>just come so quick. It feels like only yesterday that
<v Speaker 1>John Cena was going for the for the title and
<v Speaker 1>winning in the Mination Chamber and Jay you so just
<v Speaker 1>won the rollerbum Walls. So yeah, we'll be back again
<v Speaker 1>for another review and yeah again, Thank you very much
<v Speaker 1>for tuning in. I'll catch you guys next week. Cheers.
