WWE Week in Review: Paul Heyman & CM Punk Return, US Title Match, KO & Cody's Memorable Promo, Women's War Games

<v Speaker 1>This is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to
<v Speaker 1>the WWE Podcast show.
<v Speaker 2>The one that everybody wants met for sixteen. So just
<v Speaker 2>with your ass is my iron, you're gonna acknowledge me.
<v Speaker 3>Hey, everybody, welcome to the week Interview here on the
<v Speaker 3>WWE Podcast. We are ready to roll here and we
<v Speaker 3>are only one week actually less than a week from
<v Speaker 3>Survivors Series Wargames. Obviously, there's a ton to discuss on
<v Speaker 3>a big week if you're a wrestling fan or if
<v Speaker 3>you're a wrestling content creator like myself, or both, because there
<v Speaker 3>is just gonna be It's gonna be a week full
<v Speaker 3>of news, stories and rumors and a course results, and
<v Speaker 3>it's going to be just a loaded, jam packed week.
<v Speaker 3>So we're ready. I'm sure you guys are ready. We're
<v Speaker 3>now kind of unofficially ready for WrestleMania season as Survivors
<v Speaker 3>Series has major implications that most of the time towards WrestleMania.
<v Speaker 3>So we saw this past week, say on Punk return,
<v Speaker 3>we saw Paul Hayman return, people speculating about what that
<v Speaker 3>could mean, and yes I was wrong, by the way.
<v Speaker 3>We'll talk about how this fits in and some of
<v Speaker 3>the things I missed as to why this does kind
<v Speaker 3>of make sense, so we'll talk about that. But anyway,
<v Speaker 3>let's get to some new patrons. I want to welcome them,

<v Speaker 3>with all the shameless promotion out of the way, let's
<v Speaker 3>talk about the biggest story of the week. Biggest story
<v Speaker 3>of the week, Paul Hayman brings back CM Punk is
<v Speaker 3>the fifth member. Now, I don't know how much detail
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to be going in this week to every
<v Speaker 3>little thing that happened on SmackDown or on Raw. I'll
<v Speaker 3>do my best, But this is such a big topic
<v Speaker 3>here because there's a lot of spiderweb possibilities of what
<v Speaker 3>could happen and the implications of bringing back Punk. And
<v Speaker 3>when we looked at who could potentially be that fifth member,
<v Speaker 3>I did say, not that this is about me, but
<v Speaker 3>looking back as to why my logic was faulty, I
<v Speaker 3>had I had heard a few possibilities as to who
<v Speaker 3>that person could be, who that fifth person could be,
<v Speaker 3>and I did say that Punk is the least you know,
<v Speaker 3>makes the least sense. I had the least logic behind it, totally,
<v Speaker 3>forgetting of course that earlier in the year, CM Punk
<v Speaker 3>and Paul Hayman did have an interaction on TV where
<v Speaker 3>CM Punk came to the aid of Paul Hayman. Paul
<v Speaker 3>Hayman was totally stressed out. If you remember, before Roman
<v Speaker 3>Reigns returned, he was lost. He was stressed out over
<v Speaker 3>solo taking the helm, felt like he was betraying Roman Reigns,
<v Speaker 3>and he had kind of you know, he was cracking
<v Speaker 3>and he told Punk that you know, you know, take
<v Speaker 3>me with you. Now, there's no secret, these too have
<v Speaker 3>an actual long term friendship off the air, well documented,
<v Speaker 3>and that translates well on TV. It's believable because it's true.
<v Speaker 3>But in storyline I totally missed it. Don't know why
<v Speaker 3>that it raised from my memory, but it did. Now
<v Speaker 3>I was wrong about that. The other options were, of
<v Speaker 3>course brock Lesner, who I would have been a little
<v Speaker 3>bit more excited about, to be Frank. I know many
<v Speaker 3>of you don't care about Brock. You don't want him back,
<v Speaker 3>or you say you don't until hear the music and
<v Speaker 3>you're like, oh my god, which is probably ninety five
<v Speaker 3>percent of people that say they don't want brockback would
<v Speaker 3>still react that way. But when you have a brock
<v Speaker 3>Lesner there, I think it would have been kind of
<v Speaker 3>wild seeing Brock Lesnar team with Roman Reigns for a night.
<v Speaker 3>You know, Lord knows, we've seen Brock Lesner go against
<v Speaker 3>Roman Reigns long enough we don't need to see it again.
<v Speaker 3>So I actually was kind of hoping it would secretly
<v Speaker 3>be Brock, but I did think that it would actually
<v Speaker 3>be Seth. Seth did seem to be the most logical
<v Speaker 3>given the direction they were going, given the direction of
<v Speaker 3>Bronson Reed on one side, and you're thinking, oh, well, duh,
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna be Seth Rollins on the other. Now wrong.
<v Speaker 3>Unless they changed things last second, they still could. They
<v Speaker 3>still kind of a mystery attack at the end of
<v Speaker 3>Raw where Punk is laid out and Seth takes his place,
<v Speaker 3>and you could still do that. But assuming things don't change,
<v Speaker 3>Punk is now the fifth member aligning with Roman Reigns. Yes,
<v Speaker 3>there's tension there. They's a little bit at the end
<v Speaker 3>of SmackDown this week with Punk and Rains. They didn't
<v Speaker 3>say anything to one another, They just had the stare
<v Speaker 3>down And yes, they eventually will have a match. I
<v Speaker 3>hope there's a lot of history there, especially prior to
<v Speaker 3>see them, Punk leaving WWE, taking seven years off, going
<v Speaker 3>to AEW then coming back to WWE. A lot of
<v Speaker 3>history there, the famous Cult Cabana podcast, the very first
<v Speaker 3>time that Cmpunk spoke in a public setting after his
<v Speaker 3>debacle with WWE and the cyst that was on his
<v Speaker 3>his his mid section, and w you know, he's claiming
<v Speaker 3>that WWE knew that he wasn't medical and medically cleared
<v Speaker 3>to go out there, but he still did anyway. And
<v Speaker 3>then at the Royal Rumble that year, that's when things
<v Speaker 3>came to a head, and you know, they still had
<v Speaker 3>him work, hurt, work, sick, he was on Z pack,
<v Speaker 3>he was, you know, crapping his pants and yeah, all
<v Speaker 3>the things. If you guys remember the Colt Cabana podcast,
<v Speaker 3>I would love to know the numbers for that show.
<v Speaker 3>It's got to be millions of views or listens. Anyway,
<v Speaker 3>he mentioned Roman Reigns by name in that podcast, saying
<v Speaker 3>you gotta make Roman look strong. WWE telling Punk you
<v Speaker 3>gotta make Roman look strong. You got to make Roman
<v Speaker 3>look strong, specifically in that Rumble. So there's some history
<v Speaker 3>there that I don't think fans have forgotten about. It's
<v Speaker 3>not lost on them, and I think that they would
<v Speaker 3>be a nice pairing down the road, down the road, right.
<v Speaker 3>I don't need it now. Don't need it now. I
<v Speaker 3>don't need I don't need Punk attacking Rains. I don't
<v Speaker 3>need Rains attacking Punk. There's time. But Rains is a
<v Speaker 3>much more mature performer now he understands who in what
<v Speaker 3>he is. Are his promos still a ever ba plus?
<v Speaker 3>I don't think so. But that's okay. He's already reached
<v Speaker 3>Hall of Fame level. Rains is there. He could retire
<v Speaker 3>tomorrow and he's there. So I'm getting a little bit
<v Speaker 3>off the rails. But this is the scenario we're in now,
<v Speaker 3>with all the spider web possibilities, and then the spider
<v Speaker 3>webs lead to rabbit holes, and the rabbit holes have
<v Speaker 3>spider webs. Because you could say, well, if this happens,
<v Speaker 3>then that happens, then these things have to happen. It's
<v Speaker 3>really difficult to foresee what's going to happen. But you
<v Speaker 3>don't know maybe what's going to happen, but perhaps who
<v Speaker 3>happens here? And while my official predictions are coming later
<v Speaker 3>this week, with it being Survivor's series War Games a week,
<v Speaker 3>I do feel compelled to discuss the possibility here of
<v Speaker 3>one man and what he might do, and that is
<v Speaker 3>Seth Rollins because he was saying no for a couple
<v Speaker 3>of weeks and you're thinking, Okay, they'll finally get him Unraw.
<v Speaker 3>They they'll get them, and they were already going that
<v Speaker 3>raw road on Unraw, with having Solo distract Seth Rollins,
<v Speaker 3>allowing Bronson reed to pick up the victory in the
<v Speaker 3>main event of Raw. So you're gonna going, okay, I
<v Speaker 3>say what they're doing. They're gonna anger Seth enough to
<v Speaker 3>say okay, screw it and go to team with Rains.
<v Speaker 3>And that's what I thought was gonna happen. They were
<v Speaker 3>already going that road. So the question now is, with
<v Speaker 3>Seth Rollins not having an opponent for Wargames, he's not
<v Speaker 3>the fifth member unless something wacky happens and he has
<v Speaker 3>nobody else to really work with, what does he do
<v Speaker 3>with Survivors series? The question, more specifically is probably what
<v Speaker 3>does he do in or after the Wargames match? What
<v Speaker 3>happens here? I do wonder, now, what if this is
<v Speaker 3>just something I've just invented out of my brain right now?
<v Speaker 3>But at this point everything's on the table. Bronson Reid
<v Speaker 3>doesn't make it a Survivors series what if he doesn't
<v Speaker 3>make it? What if? How about this? You know what
<v Speaker 3>I think, I've got it. I'm gonna spoil my prediction
<v Speaker 3>for Survivor series right now, here's what I think might
<v Speaker 3>happen Seth Rollins and Bronson Reid. That story's not done yet.
<v Speaker 3>He's also made it clear he does not like Roman Reigns.
<v Speaker 3>The next time he's in the ring with him, he'll
<v Speaker 3>stop his head into the mat. He also has no
<v Speaker 3>love loss for Phil Brooks Sampunk none. They keep teasing it.
<v Speaker 3>They have been teasing this rivalry now for a year. Officially,
<v Speaker 3>here's my thought about Survivor series, And let me know
<v Speaker 3>what you guys think about this. Punk stays at as
<v Speaker 3>the fifth member, no weirdness, no backstage attack. Punk is
<v Speaker 3>the guy. We've got our final og blood line. Then
<v Speaker 3>on the solo so CoA side of the blood line,
<v Speaker 3>you've got Toma Tongo tongaloa solos CoA Jakofatu right, and
<v Speaker 3>Bronson Reid. Now, either before the match starts or during
<v Speaker 3>the match, Seth Rollins takes out Bronson Reid. Now that
<v Speaker 3>makes sense. They've been in a program. They want revenge.
<v Speaker 3>They're not shy about doing backstage brawls. If before the
<v Speaker 3>match he attacks him, leaves him laying hits him with
<v Speaker 3>the lead pipe. Seth Rollins takes out Bronson Reid, seemingly
<v Speaker 3>helping the og blood line, and Bronson Reid, who maybe
<v Speaker 3>was scheduled to come out last, is now not going
<v Speaker 3>to be able to do so. In his place is
<v Speaker 3>set Rollins. That way, he's true to his word of
<v Speaker 3>you know, attacking Roman Reigns, and he has no love
<v Speaker 3>loss for Seampunk at all. They haven't even started the
<v Speaker 3>rivalry physically yet, and that makes sense to me. The
<v Speaker 3>only concern I have is you're gonna turn Seth Rollins heel.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, this is this is where you do it?
<v Speaker 3>And how do you do it if you're still going
<v Speaker 3>to continue the Bronson Reid program. Unless that's the conclusion
<v Speaker 3>where these two just destroy each other, or he destroys
<v Speaker 3>Bronson Reid and then he moves on to bigger and
<v Speaker 3>better things. I don't know, or during the match, maybe
<v Speaker 3>he takes out Bronson Reid and he you know, annoints
<v Speaker 3>himself as the replacement for Bronson. So there you go.
<v Speaker 3>I won't get too repetitive you're but you gotta see
<v Speaker 3>what I'm saying, He's not gonna be on the side
<v Speaker 3>of Roman and see Him Punk. He will be opposed.
<v Speaker 3>But the question is are we ready for a heel
<v Speaker 3>Seth Rollins again? Is wwe ready for it? They're desperately
<v Speaker 3>in need of some good heels, I will say, and
<v Speaker 3>Seth Rollins has proven he can be a very good heel.
<v Speaker 3>So that's my thought. That's my thought about Survivors series
<v Speaker 3>and how that ends, and does the Rock still interfere?
<v Speaker 3>I mean, there conna be some really really big names
<v Speaker 3>in this. We've already We've already got se Him Punk there,
<v Speaker 3>We've got Roman Rains there, We've got some big budding
<v Speaker 3>stars on the other side with Solo Skula, Jacob Fatu
<v Speaker 3>in company. So yeah, obviously the USO's Paul Hammond's back,
<v Speaker 3>But what about the Rock? Does he show up? Maybe?
<v Speaker 3>I mean The Rock just said hello and goodbye at
<v Speaker 3>Bad Blood. We haven't seen him in a month and
<v Speaker 3>a half, so yeah, possibly the Rock does to show
<v Speaker 3>up too. But I think the Rock is gonna make
<v Speaker 3>a bigger impact that the Royal Rumble, and we'll talk
<v Speaker 3>about that as the weeks go on here. But now
<v Speaker 3>I know a lot of people are also looking at
<v Speaker 3>the Paul Haman undershirt instead of his typical full suit,
<v Speaker 3>which was weird to see. And I don't know about
<v Speaker 3>you guys did beyond the red shirt which was yes,
<v Speaker 3>maybe a tie to solo Soakoa. No. I don't need
<v Speaker 3>him to turn on Roman. I don't need anyone turning.
<v Speaker 3>I can't make this any clear. This is my personal opinion,
<v Speaker 3>and you guys, some of you, some of my listeners
<v Speaker 3>I know, do feel differently based on the emails you
<v Speaker 3>guys have sent me in the mail bag every week.
<v Speaker 3>And that's fine, it's fine. You know, wrestling certainly a
<v Speaker 3>subjective conversation, a certain subjective topic that doesn't warrant everybody
<v Speaker 3>to think the same. But here's my, here's my can't
<v Speaker 3>make it any more crystal clear than this. Nobody needs
<v Speaker 3>to turn on anybody in the og blood Line. Paul
<v Speaker 3>Hamon's not going to have a match. Paul Haymond turning
<v Speaker 3>is not going to do anything for anybody. It would
<v Speaker 3>just disappoint people. We've seen a civil war for how
<v Speaker 3>many months in the og blood line. Every combination you
<v Speaker 3>could possibly imagine under the sun has been done with
<v Speaker 3>the OG Blood line of everybody turning on everybody? Could
<v Speaker 3>Sammy turn based on the cell phone thing from two
<v Speaker 3>weeks ago? Could Could Paul Hayman be the mastermind behind
<v Speaker 3>the collapse of the og bloodline at wargames because of
<v Speaker 3>the red T shirt that is matching Soulo so coahs
<v Speaker 3>or like Yeah? No, The answer is no. I hope
<v Speaker 3>these two things, whether they were intentional or not, come
<v Speaker 3>back to a big nothing burger because I don't want it.
<v Speaker 3>There's no need for it. The Rock is the guy
<v Speaker 3>that's gonna stir the drink here when he comes back,
<v Speaker 3>he will be that straw, the proverbial straw that stirs
<v Speaker 3>the drink. As they say. So, No, I don't need
<v Speaker 3>anybody turning on anybody. No, no Jimmy against Jay, No
<v Speaker 3>Sammy turning because of the cell phone thing. No Paul
<v Speaker 3>Hayman turning, No Jimmy again, No Roman going back heel no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
<v Speaker 3>no please, We've seen it all. Now with all that said,
<v Speaker 3>we do you have a returning John Cena who's going
<v Speaker 3>to be coming back in a month, and we'll see
<v Speaker 3>what he does when he gets to SmackDown. I'm sure
<v Speaker 3>I'm guessing he's gonna be able to float wherever the
<v Speaker 3>hell he wants, but apparently so can everyone else. And
<v Speaker 3>that's the other thing I want to say, And yes
<v Speaker 3>it's going to be mentioned because it's it's just it's insulting.
<v Speaker 3>As a fan at this point, I'm just I feel insulted,
<v Speaker 3>not offended, Okay, just insulted, like my intelligence a little bit,
<v Speaker 3>because we're supposed to just pretend that no one has
<v Speaker 3>anything to do with the brand split. Now Seampunk's just
<v Speaker 3>showing up on on SmackDown. He's a raw guy. It's
<v Speaker 3>just ridiculous. It's ridiculous. And the way the draft was done,
<v Speaker 3>you remember, because you guys remember the draft, how they
<v Speaker 3>actually made their picks was ridiculous. However, if you're gonna
<v Speaker 3>do it, adhere to it, stick to your own effing rules.
<v Speaker 3>And they don't. They just have anyone come over whenever
<v Speaker 3>it's convenient for the story. They don't bother to explain
<v Speaker 3>why they're there. It's infuriating because you guys want to
<v Speaker 3>have a brand split, but only when it's okay and
<v Speaker 3>doesn't hurt the story. When it hurts the story, and
<v Speaker 3>you're like, oh man, I wish I could have this
<v Speaker 3>person over here. WW is just like, yeah, screwt, let's
<v Speaker 3>just bring them over. No one's gonna say anything, no
<v Speaker 3>one's gonna care, but they're probably proven right. Their assessment
<v Speaker 3>is probably proven right because I'm the only one sitting
<v Speaker 3>here screaming into the ether about the damn Brands split
<v Speaker 3>rule adherence. Anyway, all right, Well beyond that, I spent
<v Speaker 3>nearly the first twenty minutes here talking about the bloodline.
<v Speaker 3>But I told you guys, you know I can't make
<v Speaker 3>this a very long show tonight, and so don't know
<v Speaker 3>if I'm gonna be able to go into the weeds
<v Speaker 3>like I normally do, but let's try. Let's try it here.
<v Speaker 3>So what happened on the rest on SmackDown. Well, yes,
<v Speaker 3>we had the Cody Rhodes Kevin Owens promo. Yeah, we'll
<v Speaker 3>talk about that when we get there, but let's start
<v Speaker 3>with Chelsea Green versus Bianca versus Blair Davenport and a
<v Speaker 3>US title tournament match. I will also talk about Jade
<v Speaker 3>in a moment. So this match did end with Chelsea
<v Speaker 3>Green beating Bianca, Belair and Blair Davenport in about ten minutes.
<v Speaker 3>So Chelsea Green getting a very rare victory here. But
<v Speaker 3>the finish was this. Green avoided a charging bel Air
<v Speaker 3>sent her into the ring post. Davenport then climbed to
<v Speaker 3>the top. Green intercepted with her superplex, intercepted her with
<v Speaker 3>a superplex, and Bellair capitalized with the four point fifty.
<v Speaker 3>But Green threw her off and attempted a cover of
<v Speaker 3>her own. Bianca managed to pull her outside and tried
<v Speaker 3>another cover for a near fall. That's when camera's cut
<v Speaker 3>backstage and they showed Jade Cargill thrown off a loading
<v Speaker 3>dog onto a windshield of a car. Belair charged to
<v Speaker 3>the back check on her. So this is what you
<v Speaker 3>get here. You get Chelsea Green with the victory. I
<v Speaker 3>have no problem with that, and you get now the
<v Speaker 3>start of a who done it? And this is a
<v Speaker 3>really good move here if the intent is as follows. Okay,
<v Speaker 3>number one, you give it Chelsea Green a victory. When
<v Speaker 3>you look at Blair, Davenpoort and Bianca Belair, who will
<v Speaker 3>probably looked at as the number one and number two
<v Speaker 3>possibilities to win this, Chelsea Green gets the victory. And
<v Speaker 3>you know what she should You know why because this
<v Speaker 3>is what the US title belt was created for stars
<v Speaker 3>like her. At this point, Bianca is a current US
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, a current tag team champion for the women.
<v Speaker 3>Blair Davenport, while she is getting some exposure, is not
<v Speaker 3>really ready for a US title match or a title
<v Speaker 3>run for that matter. Yet her career is still kind
<v Speaker 3>of in its infancy in the main roster. So given
<v Speaker 3>that Chelsea, it's a perfect person to win this number
<v Speaker 3>two and the importance is increasing here, you hopefully split
<v Speaker 3>up Bianca and Jade as tag team champions because appears
<v Speaker 3>Jade meant be out for an extended period with this
<v Speaker 3>quote unquote injury, and that means you have to have
<v Speaker 3>them defend it, or if they can't defend it, they
<v Speaker 3>have to relinquish it. And that's how you get them
<v Speaker 3>to split without feuding, right because I have said that
<v Speaker 3>if you're gonna do Bianca versus Jade, you're gonna have
<v Speaker 3>a very tough night for Jade because she will be
<v Speaker 3>exposed for what she is and hopefully that's vastly improved.
<v Speaker 3>But when you put her in a world class athlete
<v Speaker 3>matchup with somebody of Bianca's caliber, it she'll be exposed.
<v Speaker 3>Can't hide it in a one on one match, especially
<v Speaker 3>with Bianca, So that's good, right. The idea is to
<v Speaker 3>eventually in the coming weeks strip them of the championships
<v Speaker 3>because they can't defend them and Bianca can't defend them
<v Speaker 3>on her own. Then that makes sense to it and
<v Speaker 3>there's no feud, not yet. Right. Three, it gives Jade
<v Speaker 3>an effing singles program for the first time since she
<v Speaker 3>debuted in September of twenty twenty three. She finally has
<v Speaker 3>I would imagine a singles program that we can look
<v Speaker 3>at and go, oh wow, who's done? Who did it?
<v Speaker 3>You know who done it? If you do them every
<v Speaker 3>couple of years and they're not overdone, it's fun. Who
<v Speaker 3>done it? Is a very basic mystery kind of clue version, right,
<v Speaker 3>like it's mister Green in the auditorium with a candlestick.
<v Speaker 3>It's literally that when we have to solve who with what? Why? Now?
<v Speaker 3>Basic questions. Nothing over complicated here. And I think it's
<v Speaker 3>a good thing because now, assuming that Jade and Bianca
<v Speaker 3>are done as a tag team for the time being,
<v Speaker 3>Jade can finally have her own singles program. This might
<v Speaker 3>be indicative of w having the confidence enough in Jade
<v Speaker 3>to give her a singles program. So that's number three,
<v Speaker 3>all right, And all of these are important, but none
<v Speaker 3>more important than hopefully this mean girl's awful tag team
<v Speaker 3>of Jane and Bianca are done and that it could
<v Speaker 3>finally give us a Jade singles program. Number four, I
<v Speaker 3>forgot about this. Number four is most important for me
<v Speaker 3>Bianca in her own damn program out of the tag
<v Speaker 3>team stuff. Now she may continue to defend it of
<v Speaker 3>this week's go on, and she'll eventually do it in
<v Speaker 3>a losing effort. Good. I want Bianca to lose so
<v Speaker 3>she can do what she does best, and that is
<v Speaker 3>excel in the singles division. We've seen it. This wasn't
<v Speaker 3>like a two month, three month, four month, five months,
<v Speaker 3>six month, hell even a year detour. This was This
<v Speaker 3>has been a long ass time that Bianca has been
<v Speaker 3>pushed aside for the sake of Jade. And even before Jade,
<v Speaker 3>you know, she she was not getting the princess treatment
<v Speaker 3>that I think that she should at times. And anyway,
<v Speaker 3>so does my my take on this. This is a
<v Speaker 3>good thing. This, this mystery attacker story is a good
<v Speaker 3>thing right now for all parties, assuming that's their that's
<v Speaker 3>their intent now, if their intent is to have it
<v Speaker 3>be revealed. Like, you know, remember when Triple H attacked
<v Speaker 3>Shawn Michaels in two thousand and two before SummerSlam. It
<v Speaker 3>was Shawn Michael's first match back in four years. It
<v Speaker 3>ended up being Triple H who was revealed in security
<v Speaker 3>camera parking lot footage that he was the one who
<v Speaker 3>attacked Shawn Michaels. It could be where Jade. You have
<v Speaker 3>Bianca feigning like she's trying to help Jade figure out
<v Speaker 3>who found or who who attacked her, and it ends
<v Speaker 3>up being Jade herself. Jade to me is, I'm sorry
<v Speaker 3>Bianca herself. Bianca is prime suspect number one in the
<v Speaker 3>eyes of most people, which would make you believe that
<v Speaker 3>it's probably means that she's not it's not going to
<v Speaker 3>be Bianca. So alrighty, well, anyway, let's continue. So we
<v Speaker 3>have we have let's say Santos Asca bar versus Ell
<v Speaker 3>Knight for the United States Championship because Elle Knight is
<v Speaker 3>a p currently defending this on a nightly basis. Boy
<v Speaker 3>oh boy, I remember the days when championship matches felt special.
<v Speaker 3>I remember those days. Those are long gone. So this
<v Speaker 3>match was let me get the time it's gonna be
<v Speaker 3>time limited here at a time on this matt eight
<v Speaker 3>minutes and after the match with l A Knight winning,
<v Speaker 3>which by the way, he won after he set up
<v Speaker 3>for a phantom driver. I'm sorry we had Santos set
<v Speaker 3>up for a phantom driver, but Night reversed it into
<v Speaker 3>a BFT and got the victory. After the match, which
<v Speaker 3>is really where the story lies here, shin skin Nakamura
<v Speaker 3>comes in hits Night into the corner, delivered a running
<v Speaker 3>knee to the back of his head, there his neck
<v Speaker 3>cole and graves and introduced footage of Tomasso Champa losing
<v Speaker 3>it on the street profits and we go into the
<v Speaker 3>whole tag team division, you know, squabble that's going on
<v Speaker 3>right now. But Nakamura attacks again, and I think that's
<v Speaker 3>a good thing. I think it's it's something that right
<v Speaker 3>now shinz Gana Kamura needs. It, gives a new opponent
<v Speaker 3>for La and Knight to work with. They're both very
<v Speaker 3>good in the ring. Shins Gana Kamura hopefully continues with
<v Speaker 3>his evolution the of this dark character, maybe even does
<v Speaker 3>more of his promos that he did with Seth Rollins
<v Speaker 3>and Company when he found away Wwe found a way,
<v Speaker 3>somebody found a way to give Shinsky a voice, even
<v Speaker 3>though they think or thought they couldn't give it. They
<v Speaker 3>never gave him any mic time for the first six
<v Speaker 3>years of his run. All right, So that's a good thing.
<v Speaker 3>Does Shinzka and A Kamara have an actual chance of
<v Speaker 3>beating La Knight for the United States Championship? Yes, I
<v Speaker 3>think he does more than anybody else has thus far,
<v Speaker 3>but that's not saying much given that you know Santos
<v Speaker 3>is never gonna win it. You know, Barto's never gonna
<v Speaker 3>win it ever, at least, I'm sorry I shouldn't say ever,
<v Speaker 3>at least in this current iteration of the United States Championship.
<v Speaker 3>La and Night with you know, being a massive fan
<v Speaker 3>favorite didn't make sense right now. But Shinske is a
<v Speaker 3>real threat, real threat to I ultimately think it's gonna win. No,
<v Speaker 3>because that's what they do to Shinske. They build them up,
<v Speaker 3>make do good things, make you believe, and then he
<v Speaker 3>falls short. So I would expect nothing less here, all right.
<v Speaker 3>We've also then got a really good promo here, and
<v Speaker 3>this is also maybe even for some people, the number
<v Speaker 3>one thing that happened on SmackDown at least the number
<v Speaker 3>one talking point. It's at least in the conversation for
<v Speaker 3>the top talking point of SmackDown. Given how good this was.
<v Speaker 3>Now Cody didn't come out in his typical suit. That's
<v Speaker 3>a nice change. Cody Rose decided to, you know, dress
<v Speaker 3>like for the occasion, which is great. And even Kevin
<v Speaker 3>Owens pointed out he didn't have his politicians suit on,
<v Speaker 3>so I don't know if he listens to the show
<v Speaker 3>or what the case is. It's always funny that, you know,
<v Speaker 3>Cody never really responds to that. It's like kind of like, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I know, I look exactly like a politician. A bit
<v Speaker 3>of an admission by omission. But let's go through this
<v Speaker 3>a little bit. So we have Cody Roads addressed Kevin Owens.
<v Speaker 3>He said it was face to FaceTime, and he said
<v Speaker 3>the only person not sure, not there for sure, is
<v Speaker 3>Randy Orton. He demanded Kevin Owens come to the ring.
<v Speaker 3>Owens appeared and he had on a shirt with the
<v Speaker 3>tuxedo you know, drawn on it, and security stopped him.
<v Speaker 3>Owens call things that happened for the fierce first few
<v Speaker 3>months Cody's fault. Cody got upset that he insinuated that
<v Speaker 3>Orton getting piled driven was his fault. Owens got closer
<v Speaker 3>and told Cody that he had fought the Bloodline for
<v Speaker 3>four years and they had attempted to end his career
<v Speaker 3>more than once. He recalled celebrating with Rhodes at WrestleMania
<v Speaker 3>thirty nine for quote finishing his story, and then Cody
<v Speaker 3>teamed with him a few months later after Roman had
<v Speaker 3>alienated himself from everyone around him, and Owens said that
<v Speaker 3>Rains had tried to end his childhood dreams since he
<v Speaker 3>was eleven years old and that you team with a
<v Speaker 3>guy that tried to do this to me. Cody said
<v Speaker 3>that Owens is obsessed with trying to be a victim
<v Speaker 3>and him choosing to team with Roman Reigns had nothing
<v Speaker 3>to do with it. He said, Owens has every accolade
<v Speaker 3>possible in w WE, and the only one who doesn't
<v Speaker 3>realize it is Kevin Owens. Rhodes addressed their match at
<v Speaker 3>Bash in Berlin and said Owens couldn't pull the trigger
<v Speaker 3>on his bad knee, but instead decided to pull the
<v Speaker 3>trigger on Randy Orton and crossed the line with a
<v Speaker 3>band move and tried to end his career. He then
<v Speaker 3>said this wasn't going to get solved on the microphone.
<v Speaker 3>He'd be forced to beat it into him, and he said.
<v Speaker 3>Rhoades said, whether it's tonight at Survivor Series or Saturday
<v Speaker 3>Night's main event, I think we know it's gonna be there.
<v Speaker 3>The ball was in his court. Owens responded that they
<v Speaker 3>would have their fight, but it would be on his terms,
<v Speaker 3>and he said, to close the promo, he loved Randy
<v Speaker 3>Orton and that's what he did to him, and he
<v Speaker 3>hates Cody Rhodes, and Rhodes replied that he doesn't think
<v Speaker 3>Owens hates him. He hates himself, and there's no line
<v Speaker 3>he won't cross to get his hands on him. Really
<v Speaker 3>good stuff here now, I think Kevin Owens was a
<v Speaker 3>line short here. His his last couple lines were very
<v Speaker 3>effective in that he's saying, look, I loved Randy Orton
<v Speaker 3>and this is what I did to him. Where he
<v Speaker 3>said and I hate you. Where he missed the second
<v Speaker 3>part is and imagine what I'm gonna do to somebody
<v Speaker 3>I hate. If I would do this to someone I love,
<v Speaker 3>imagine what I would do to someone that I hate.
<v Speaker 3>He missed it. Now it's not a slight on Ko.
<v Speaker 3>This doesn't didn't ruin the promo in any kind of way,
<v Speaker 3>but it's just kind of the last thing you hear
<v Speaker 3>from Kevin Owans. I'm like and like, okay, it's implied,
<v Speaker 3>but he didn't say it, so that kind of bothered me.
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, and imagine what you do to somebody you
<v Speaker 3>don't let fine, I know you guys, I'm nitpicking, but
<v Speaker 3>the fact that it's like, oh, one more line, one
<v Speaker 3>more line and then drop Mike, and he missed the
<v Speaker 3>one line to me, But whatever, I'm a jerk, so
<v Speaker 3>it's all good. I mean, this was an outstanding promo
<v Speaker 3>between the two. I don't like though, this is a complaint.
<v Speaker 3>You can put this on the record of I think
<v Speaker 3>it was Cody who called this a promo. I think
<v Speaker 3>he did. And he also said, oh, this is you know,
<v Speaker 3>you know better than anybody. This is a this is
<v Speaker 3>a team effort. It's not just one person. Okay, stop Cody,
<v Speaker 3>stop with the meta crap. Yeah, it's a team effort.
<v Speaker 3>We know that because you wouldn't be able to because
<v Speaker 3>you can't work yourself, right, You guys are in the
<v Speaker 3>ring working together. That's the whole illusion, thanks jerk. And
<v Speaker 3>then again he said something about this promo. You don't
<v Speaker 3>call your promo a promo in the promo. That's the
<v Speaker 3>kind of crap. I know he's trying to he said
<v Speaker 3>these things to get more quote real, but you actually
<v Speaker 3>take people out of the moment when you get that
<v Speaker 3>far out of the circle of believability. Those two little
<v Speaker 3>comments officially did irk me. So Kevin Owens knocked it
<v Speaker 3>out of the park. And to Cody's credit, he can
<v Speaker 3>go with the best of them. He is a very
<v Speaker 3>good promo. I just don't like his meta stuff that
<v Speaker 3>he tries to be more real, which actually makes it
<v Speaker 3>seem more fun, and it also takes you out of
<v Speaker 3>the moment. It's like, bro, come on, no, I don't
<v Speaker 3>want to hear you call which you're doing right now
<v Speaker 3>with promo. We do that. You know WW will do
<v Speaker 3>that in their production meetings. We don't want to hear
<v Speaker 3>you call it a promo in the middle of your promo.
<v Speaker 3>Stop it just it's a little thing. But the content,
<v Speaker 3>guys really good. Both men, Yes, fired up. Well. Kevin
<v Speaker 3>Owens shows you if there was any doubt which he's
<v Speaker 3>better at in which I think he's more comfortable in
<v Speaker 3>it's being a heel. He's very good as a baby face,
<v Speaker 3>but he's just exceptional as a heel. And I don't
<v Speaker 3>think there's any chance of Kevin Owens, much like his
<v Speaker 3>title chances in the past and title matches in the past,
<v Speaker 3>there's any real chance he's gonna beat Kevin Owens or
<v Speaker 3>Cody Rhoades for that w B under speed a championship
<v Speaker 3>whenever they fight, whether it is at Saturday Night's main event,
<v Speaker 3>whether it's Survivors Series unlikely, or on a regular SmackDown,
<v Speaker 3>there's just no chance. Sorry, Ko, we love you, we do,
<v Speaker 3>but it ain't gonna happen. So that's kind of it's
<v Speaker 3>a shame. It's a shame. Kevin Owens just can't time
<v Speaker 3>his title challenges correctly. It never feels like it's you know,
<v Speaker 3>it's about ready to be lost. It's always kind of like, well,
<v Speaker 3>they're gonna keep the belt on him because xn X reason.
<v Speaker 3>But okay, Sammy's aim was also on SmackDown, by the way,
<v Speaker 3>because you know he's part of the bloodline, all right.
<v Speaker 3>We then have Naomi and Bailey versus Tiffany Stratton and
<v Speaker 3>Candas lrat eight minutes long here with Naomi and Bailey
<v Speaker 3>beating Tiffany Stratton in Candas Lray. The finish was Bailey
<v Speaker 3>rolling up Tiffany for a two count and Stratton took
<v Speaker 3>over on offense and backed Bailey into her corner. Candicel
<v Speaker 3>Ray tagged herself in and they began arguing. She prevented
<v Speaker 3>a tag and landed a moon salt on Bailey and
<v Speaker 3>then Stratton tagged in, landed a running stomp and made
<v Speaker 3>a cover, but Naomi broke it up. Just as Bailey
<v Speaker 3>was about to make a tag. Nya Jacks pulled Naomi
<v Speaker 3>off the apron and caused a DQ. After the match,
<v Speaker 3>Eo Sky ran down to make the save as the
<v Speaker 3>heels beat down Naomi and Bailey. Eo succeeded for a moment,
<v Speaker 3>but ended up getting a big boot from Raquel Rodriguez.
<v Speaker 3>Liv Morgan was out there as well, and it was
<v Speaker 3>a five on three. Rhea Ripley, you know the raw star.
<v Speaker 3>Remember that she comes out big pop and ran down
<v Speaker 3>with a pipe and ran off the heels and stood tall. So, uh,
<v Speaker 3>you know, I think this is despite the fact that
<v Speaker 3>the RAN rules that I'll shut up about. But it's
<v Speaker 3>worth noting every time they do it, because I'm not
<v Speaker 3>gonna forget the women's match doesn't nearly have the excitement
<v Speaker 3>of the men's and sometimes with this as of late,
<v Speaker 3>over the last five six seven years since, they've really
<v Speaker 3>been making sure that the women get have a match
<v Speaker 3>or two or have this have their counterpart match on
<v Speaker 3>some of the bigger shows, like the World Rumble, they
<v Speaker 3>have their own Royal Rumble, like the TLC, they have
<v Speaker 3>their own TLC or their own Money in the Bank
<v Speaker 3>Ladder match. They have their own War Games match, they
<v Speaker 3>have their sometimes their own Hell Little Cell match. They
<v Speaker 3>have now their own mid Card Championship. And that's fine,
<v Speaker 3>it's all well and good, but sometimes it doesn't land.
<v Speaker 3>And this time it doesn't really land, and maybe they'll
<v Speaker 3>surprise me. Sometimes having a low bar allows it to
<v Speaker 3>easily exceed those expectations. So it's not that I'm down
<v Speaker 3>on the women like I think. It's it's going to
<v Speaker 3>be horrible, But the crowd didn't really get into this.
<v Speaker 3>They popped, as I said, pretty decently for Rhea, but
<v Speaker 3>that's it. They don't have a ton to really hang
<v Speaker 3>on to here. Also, to be fair, they just followed
<v Speaker 3>a great promo between Ko and and Cody, and you
<v Speaker 3>know you're kind of you need you need time to recharge,
<v Speaker 3>and it wasn't great timing for this this matchup here,
<v Speaker 3>all right, Tomasso Champa took on montese Ford, and montes
<v Speaker 3>Ford beat Choppa in just a shade under eight minutes.
<v Speaker 3>After the match, Champa tried to jump forward, but Angelo
<v Speaker 3>Dawkins ran down to make the save, and Gargano ran
<v Speaker 3>down and tried to play peacemaker, but Champa just attacked
<v Speaker 3>Dawkins with a cheap shot, and then the Motor City
<v Speaker 3>machine Guns entered and Champa got to make an escape.
<v Speaker 3>He he asked Gargano whose team he was on as
<v Speaker 3>he stood in the ring with the guns, and that's it.
<v Speaker 3>So I think this is fine for the men's tag
<v Speaker 3>team division. It's your status quo. Just not a ton
<v Speaker 3>of time, get everybody in the same in the same
<v Speaker 3>segment here, not a ton of promo time, but get
<v Speaker 3>people excited for a good wrestling match. That's really been
<v Speaker 3>the focal point of the tag teams generally for the
<v Speaker 3>men has been not a ton of character development, not
<v Speaker 3>a lot of emotional attachment. But hey, we got a
<v Speaker 3>great wrestling match for you. That's been essentially the motto,
<v Speaker 3>I guess for the men excuse me for the men's
<v Speaker 3>tag teams. Now, on the raw side of things, the
<v Speaker 3>Judgment Day haven't defended those championships in how long? I mean,
<v Speaker 3>they defended them once since they won them. So the
<v Speaker 3>Judgment Day certainly need to do more wrestling, no doubt
<v Speaker 3>about it, when it comes to the tag teams raw.
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's continue. Oh one big note here, Jade
<v Speaker 3>Cargill was pulled from her US Championship match next week,
<v Speaker 3>so a replacement will be announced to face Meechen and
<v Speaker 3>Piper Niven. So Jade, who was going to be in
<v Speaker 3>this triple threat next week with Meechen and Piper Niven,
<v Speaker 3>is not. And as I mentioned a little bit earlier,
<v Speaker 3>this should be a good thing for Jade, that she
<v Speaker 3>was attacked. But what if the opposite's true? What if
<v Speaker 3>and I don't think it is, but what if it
<v Speaker 3>is where they're just kind of pulling her from stuff
<v Speaker 3>and slowly writing her off TV. They don't feel she's
<v Speaker 3>ready or will ever be ready. I don't know. I
<v Speaker 3>hope not. For all my Jade bashing, it's still something
<v Speaker 3>that I want to see, to see or succeed in
<v Speaker 3>because I see with w SE's in her, I see it.
<v Speaker 3>I get it. You can market the hell out of
<v Speaker 3>her if she learns the actual important parts of wrestling
<v Speaker 3>other than hey, look at my body, isn't it? Isn't
<v Speaker 3>it great? Don't I have a great physique? Aren't I
<v Speaker 3>so muscular for a woman? Look at my Look at
<v Speaker 3>my outfit? Doesn't it show off my curves? But also
<v Speaker 3>don't look at my curves. It's like, yeah, that's essentially
<v Speaker 3>what she does, and she's lived and breathed on it.
<v Speaker 3>But the crowd doesn't react crazily, you know, positive towards her.
<v Speaker 3>So anyway, before I go back down the Jade Cargill
<v Speaker 3>bandwagon here and soapbox, I will just stop myself. All right.
<v Speaker 3>This is when we had the Paul Hayman deal. And again,
<v Speaker 3>ladies and gentlemen, I'm a great way to reintroduce himself.
<v Speaker 3>Even Roman Reigns seems a bit surprised by Paul Hayman
<v Speaker 3>when he came out and saying it's not gonna be
<v Speaker 3>four on five, It's gonna be five on five. Que
<v Speaker 3>up Cempunk's music Big pop, by the way, really big
<v Speaker 3>pop for cmpunk, easily the pop of the night and
<v Speaker 3>deservedly so, because you know he's been away for a
<v Speaker 3>little while, not too long, five six weeks whatever it's
<v Speaker 3>been for his body to recover. And I really I
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how you guys feel about this. I
<v Speaker 3>personally love it, given that we all know what time
<v Speaker 3>off can do to recharge our batteries. And when we
<v Speaker 3>look at a sport that we love so much and
<v Speaker 3>connect with so much, and you see these men and
<v Speaker 3>women being driven into the ground sometimes and wondering how
<v Speaker 3>they they work so much. Was no off season to
<v Speaker 3>see them getting time off now, especially if you're an
<v Speaker 3>older star, you know you need it, and you need
<v Speaker 3>time off to rest your body, rest your soul, rest
<v Speaker 3>your your mental state, everything. Your physical body is breaking
<v Speaker 3>down because we're just getting older. That's all great. And
<v Speaker 3>having them also do tapings with sometimes this sole intent
<v Speaker 3>of just giving talent time off, like they're giving talent
<v Speaker 3>time off with some Thanksgiving and for the Christmas holiday
<v Speaker 3>they're gonna be taping shows then too. It's a great thing.
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sitting here trying to blow smoke up ww's
<v Speaker 3>ass or be some kind of raw Rah Union person
<v Speaker 3>or anything like that. It's just just from a humane perspective,
<v Speaker 3>I think it's great that they allow, unlike during the
<v Speaker 3>Vince McMahon regime, allow the talent to go home and
<v Speaker 3>spend time with their families and recharge. It is just
<v Speaker 3>I know we may not get new, fresh content, and
<v Speaker 3>you may not see your biggest stars all the time,
<v Speaker 3>and I don't like reruns, but I don't like pre
<v Speaker 3>taped shows any more than anybody else does. But it's
<v Speaker 3>a small price to pay for what I think is
<v Speaker 3>more than due to a lot of these men and women.
<v Speaker 3>So there there's my I don't know if it's a
<v Speaker 3>Robross speech, but anyway, kind of a weird thing to
<v Speaker 3>feel as a fan that I should care about, but
<v Speaker 3>I do. I guess I feel like we've all been
<v Speaker 3>over work, we've all been burned out, and I guess
<v Speaker 3>that's how I'm relating to it. On that level. It's
<v Speaker 3>kind of like, oh man, I wish high time off,
<v Speaker 3>and these these men and women do, and it's great
<v Speaker 3>to see. It's great to see the w W is
<v Speaker 3>taking care of their talent. I guess in a more
<v Speaker 3>on a more human level instead of just doing the
<v Speaker 3>Vince McMahon theory of burnout until you burn out and
<v Speaker 3>then you'll go through the real burnout and then you know,
<v Speaker 3>it's it's just to me. To him, it's like, you know,
<v Speaker 3>working harder is is the only option, you know, and
<v Speaker 3>it I mean, what am I here to sit and
<v Speaker 3>critique Vince McMahon for, because he is one of the
<v Speaker 3>most successful entrepreneur entrepreneurs in the history of the world.
<v Speaker 3>But it doesn't mean that to me, it would be
<v Speaker 3>worth all the hard work and sacrifice that you know,
<v Speaker 3>miss and all the things that are you know, that
<v Speaker 3>happened in your life that you're not gonna be able
<v Speaker 3>to be a part of, especially if you're married or
<v Speaker 3>you have kids, and the birthdays and the graduations, everything
<v Speaker 3>you miss because you're on the road or traveling and
<v Speaker 3>too bad. So sad you need no. No, that's there's
<v Speaker 3>still some of that because it's just the nature of
<v Speaker 3>the beast. But when time off is giving around the
<v Speaker 3>holidays with the express intent of just making the talent
<v Speaker 3>go home and spend time and and just you know, decompress,
<v Speaker 3>it's a great thing they do. So Okay, what the
<v Speaker 3>hell am I doing. Let's go on here, Let's move on.
<v Speaker 3>So we all saw the end of the show. As
<v Speaker 3>I mentioned earlier with the first fifteen twenty minutes, I
<v Speaker 3>opened the show with it. But the raw side of things, Remember,
<v Speaker 3>Reid and Rollins had their match at the end of
<v Speaker 3>the show, in which Solo so co interfered that's what
<v Speaker 3>we thought was going to get Seth Rollins to snap
<v Speaker 3>and join Roman Reigns, but I don't think that'll happen.
<v Speaker 3>Bron bra Baker and Seamus had a match for the
<v Speaker 3>Intercontinental Championship. The war Raiders versus Dominic and Carlito were
<v Speaker 3>also a thing, and yeah, so that was raw. In
<v Speaker 3>a nutshell, bron Breaker ends up getting attacked sam as
<v Speaker 3>Seamus by Kaiser. If you remember that, Kaiser is likely
<v Speaker 3>poised based on what we've seen on television for a
<v Speaker 3>singles run here. Even Gunther said, don't worry about me. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>you make a name for yourself, that's significant, and yeah
<v Speaker 3>he he kind of did. He attacked Seamus, attacked brown Breaker,
<v Speaker 3>stood tall. I think there's some big potential in Kaiser,
<v Speaker 3>and I'm not saying that on the bandwagon of oh Man. Well,
<v Speaker 3>obviously you're saying that now you saw what he did
<v Speaker 3>this week, No listen to my shows. I mean I
<v Speaker 3>definitely have been saying that there is more to Kaiser
<v Speaker 3>than meets the eye here, and hopefully that's what they're
<v Speaker 3>trying to show us and continue to do over the
<v Speaker 3>next coming weeks and months. And maybe it'll be a flop.
<v Speaker 3>Maybe he'll suck, maybe you will. We don't know. Only
<v Speaker 3>one way to find out. Let him go, cut the
<v Speaker 3>line and let him go see where he swims, to
<v Speaker 3>swim up, to swim down. Of course he's a fish,
<v Speaker 3>then he can't drown. Terrible analogy. I should probably edit
<v Speaker 3>that out, but I won't. I'll just embarrass myself. So well,
<v Speaker 3>that'll do it for you tonight, guys. I hope you
<v Speaker 3>enjoy it again. Big week with sharrobersaries Wargames. We know
<v Speaker 3>that we've got some interesting theories out there. I floated
<v Speaker 3>one out there earlier for you about Seth Rollins and
<v Speaker 3>how he could be still part of the match, but
<v Speaker 3>not on the team that he was originally slated for,
<v Speaker 3>And I'd love to hear your guys thoughts as the
<v Speaker 3>mailbag will coincide with the predictions for wargames, so it's
<v Speaker 3>always a dual episode on the pl e weeks. Check
