The Final Stretch to WrestleMania 41! | The Still Real to Us Show | Episode #791 – 04/10/25

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
It's still real to me, damn it!

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:13,000
What up, you!

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Welcome, everybody!

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Welcome to this week's "Indicenesto Rilla" show,

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Episode number 791 for April 10, 2025

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,500
Welcome to this week's edition of "SRTU"

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,500
I am one-up to show I am Jeff Pett,

8
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:35,000
joined every single week of my close-level without you,

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Frank Lim, Dr. Trey,

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,500
we are less than 10 days away from WrestleMania, my friend.

11
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:46,000
It's crazy to think that, I mean, I know we'd say that every year,

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
that it just kind of feels like it came out of nowhere,

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,500
but, yeah, I mean, this time last year,

14
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:57,000
I was getting ready to have, you know, massive foot surgery

15
00:00:57,500 --> 00:00:59,500
and then it's like, nope, all that's done,

16
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:02,500
we're on a whole new year, whole new ballgame,

17
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:08,500
and John Cena is a heel, Kevin Owens has got a broken freakin' neck,

18
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:13,000
and the world is upside down and crazy as we head into WrestleMania.

19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Yeah, it's amazing, right? I mean, it just,

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,500
this is what happens the older we get, right?

21
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:21,000
We're like, all of a sudden, 'cause what would you see?

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,500
I've ever seen the countdown being at like 65 days out,

23
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:26,000
and now here we are less than 10 days, it's like, man,

24
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:29,500
this is wild, I mean, but that's what happens the older you get.

25
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:32,500
Yeah, I mean, that's, it's,

26
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:36,500
Y's man, and by Y's man, I don't mean Paul Heyman, I mean my dad,

27
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:40,500
but he always told me that as you get older,

28
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:43,000
everything goes by faster,

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,500
and when you're a kid, you're like, no, there's no,

30
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:49,000
I mean, Jeff, do you remember back in the days when you were in school,

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,500
and you would sit there and stare at the clock on the wall?

32
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:52,500
Oh, yeah.

33
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:55,500
And it would take forever for things to go by,

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
and nowadays you just kind of glance down at your lodge,

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
and it's 130, you do something, you look down at it's 245,

36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
you're like, how did an hour and 15 minutes fly pass?

37
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Yeah, how did we get here?

38
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,500
Like, it's, yeah, it's just, it's, it's crazy how true that really is,

39
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:15,000
you know, the older we get, the faster time flies by,

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
and that's what we're sitting here, you know,

41
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
just a couple of days out from 10 days out from WrestleMania.

42
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Yeah, this is our 15th WrestleMania we've covered here in the still real though show.

43
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:28,000
A 16th in my life of podcasting.

44
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,500
So the show started with WrestleMania 26,

45
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:35,500
and here we are, WrestleMania 41, and we will preview predict WrestleMania 41

46
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:39,000
and WrestleMania 41 weekend all on next week's edition of SRTU.

47
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,500
But we do have some updates here, Dr. Trey.

48
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:44,500
We have our WrestleMania 41 card roundup.

49
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:47,500
We have several new and confirmed matches.

50
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:51,500
The first being Jade Cardgill taken on Naomi is now official.

51
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,500
A Jade attacks Naomi before an after Naomi's match where she defeats beefab on Smackdown.

52
00:02:56,500 --> 00:03:01,000
Smackdown GM, Nick, all this comes out post match and makes their match at WrestleMania 41 official.

53
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,000
The crazy stat for this match, Jade Cardgill versus Naomi at WrestleMania 41 will officially

54
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,500
mark the first non-title women's single match at the event since 2006.

55
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:18,000
And this will mark the first non-title women singles match

56
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,500
with no stipulations attached in the event's history.

57
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:27,500
Mind blowing, Dr. Trey, Jade Cardgill Naomi is official.

58
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:30,500
Does that make Jade Cardgill a stalk?

59
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:36,000
Like if you're putting her on the show in a non-title match,

60
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,000
and no weird stipulations yet, I'm throwing in yet because I mean we still got a ten days,

61
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,500
we still got a Smackdown coming up and that could change.

62
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:51,500
Does that make her a bonafide star in the eyes of WWE?

63
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:58,500
You're putting her on this stage in this role because I mean she's only had what?

64
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:02,000
Maybe five singles matches so far in WWE?

65
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Everything else has been tag team or six person tags?

66
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:14,500
That's a lot of faith in somebody who's only has less than ten singles matches in her.

67
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:17,000
WWE career?

68
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,500
Absolutely they do.

69
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:22,500
I mean Jade is someone that can break through from a pop culture standpoint.

70
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:27,000
You can see her in movies, see her acting, see her as a household name.

71
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,500
It's just whether or not Jade could put it together in the ring.

72
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:33,000
And that has always been her downfall.

73
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
In A.W. it was very noticeable when she was green.

74
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,500
Loved her look, loved her character.

75
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:41,000
The in-ring stuff was kind of always.

76
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:48,500
Yeah, and they've covered it up well, let her run tag teams over the last year, her first full year in WWE before her injury.

77
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:50,500
But this will be a major showcase, Dr. Trace.

78
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:54,000
She's in there with one of the best female wrestlers in the game today in Naomi.

79
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,000
And this will be a true test.

80
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:03,000
So I am pumped and hyped up for this match at WrestleMania and to answer your question, yeah, they definitely see her as a star.

81
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,500
Yeah, I'm excited for her to be featured in a showcase in WrestleMania.

82
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:13,500
And I'm saying luckily Naomi can kind of carry a match if she needs to.

83
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:23,500
It's just a big stage to be on that if you have a couple of green moments in the match is going to stand out.

84
00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:28,000
But it's also been a very one-sided feud.

85
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,500
We've really only seen Naomi have the upper hand once so far since Jade came back.

86
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:45,500
So I'm kind of expecting Naomi to have a big moment on SmackDown heading into WrestleMania to kind of get people questioning if Jade's going to beat her.

87
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:49,500
Because right now it's been lopsided, does that relate to?

88
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:54,500
Yeah, I think I do think Jade is the favorite going to this, right?

89
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:58,500
But I really love the tournament that Naomi characters taken so far.

90
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:05,500
I mean, it's been great. I think, I know it's very early on, but I'm watching, so I'm like, this could be a really big turning point for her.

91
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:10,500
This could be something that a year from now pays off for Naomi to be in a major title match.

92
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:13,500
I'm excited for it and sometimes you need feuds like this.

93
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:15,500
That is a new and confirmed match.

94
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:20,500
Next one being is LA Knight defending the United States Championship against Jacob Fought 2.

95
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:25,500
We finally got some clarity there. That was one that Dr. Traynide never really knew where it was headed.

96
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:33,500
Jacob Fought 2 defeats Braun Strowman in a great last man standing match to figure out who will be the number one contender for the United States Championship at WrestleMania 41.

97
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:38,500
And for all those that are like, you always point out when AW does weird things booking wise, why don't you do it with WWE?

98
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:46,500
Well, here's your moment. Why didn't WWE hype this up as a match that would crown the number one contender for the US title at WrestleMania 41?

99
00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:52,500
Like, why was it until the introduction that we're talking about that? I did not see that hyped up anywhere.

100
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:58,500
So Fought 2 vs LA Knight is now official for WrestleMania 41. Dr. Trayn, this is what we wanted to see.

101
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:02,500
And I feel like he got two baby faces going into this one.

102
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:14,500
Yeah, I mean Fought 2 is kind of a tweener. I guess he's kind of in that Braun Breaker category where he's still kind of a e-eel because he had some e-eel moments in that match with Braun.

103
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:26,500
But Braun, I mean, Strowman, not Breaker in that instance, but he's just such an anomaly physically that it's hard not to cheer for him.

104
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:32,500
Like, he does stuff that nobody else, his size, should be doing. I mean, it's crazy.

105
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:46,500
So I'm just, I am a little confused because now you don't have Solo who last year was in a lot of featured stuff heading into Mania and then coming out of Mania.

106
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:57,500
And you don't have Braun Strowman on the card. So are we getting the Andre Battle Royal again to put some of these guys in who aren't going to be in title matches at Mania now?

107
00:07:57,500 --> 00:08:05,500
There's a lot of big names done on this card. So let's go up on Strowman, Shamus I was thinking about he has been off of the card for a while and I had Jax.

108
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:09,500
It was a prominent figure in the women's division.

109
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:15,500
Samming is aane, but who knows, there may be an opening now more on that in just a second.

110
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:19,500
This match was confirmed and now the update is new and confirmed.

111
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:31,500
It'll be EO Sky defending the women's world championship against Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley in a triple threat match. Adam Pierce makes this match into a triple threat to kick off raw and a kind of anti-climatic way.

112
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:35,500
And we finally got to where we thought it would go, which was a triple threat.

113
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:39,500
Dutch Tray after all that build, it was like, yeah, we're going to make this into a triple threat match.

114
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:41,500
It's now officially.

115
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:53,500
This once again is one of those ones where you call it W.E. for this is just bad booking to get to this like you could have just gone this way to start with instead of having this weird thing.

116
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:58,500
And we ended with Adam Pierce going, okay, guys, I messed up. It's my fault.

117
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:01,500
So now we're going to have the triple threat, the thing that he was trying to avoid.

118
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:10,500
We're now having so I have really not been a fan of the booking of this whole storyline since day one.

119
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:16,500
Still not a fan of it because you have three bona fide baby faces.

120
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:21,500
This isn't even really like we'll talk about, I'm sure we'll talk about punk rains and Rawls at some point.

121
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:23,500
This isn't even shades of gray.

122
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:30,500
Like all three of these women are baby faces and you went the weird way around to get to it.

123
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:34,500
So I mean on paper, this should be a fun match.

124
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:47,500
I still think the money matches just Rhea against Bianca. This is in a lot of ways reminiscent of Rousey, Becky and Charlotte where we just wanted Rhonda and Becky and Charlotte was in there.

125
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:58,500
We really just want Rhea and Bianca at WrestleMania and you're shoe-horning EOA who's a fine wrestler, but not what we really want to see as wrestling.

126
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:03,500
Wow, I disagree with that completely. I think EO is the most over person in this match right now.

127
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:06,500
You think EO is more over than Rhea Rhea?

128
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:12,500
Yes, yes right now. I mean she's getting the reaction from the crowds in the international tour.

129
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:20,500
I don't think it's Rhea Bianca than EO. EO is climbing the charts. I mean people are behind her.

130
00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:23,500
And I think that's because of the only good parts of this booking.

131
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:27,500
I've not been a big fan of this build whatsoever because it always felt like a triple threat match.

132
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:39,500
And the way they got there was kind of clunky, but I feel like the one big takeaway is that they've made the disrespect towards EO Sky make the fans in dear to her even more.

133
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:50,500
Yeah, I get that. I just think if you went off straight, for one of the international tours, I don't go off-crowders because those international crowds are little weird at times.

134
00:10:50,500 --> 00:11:00,500
Those here are certain people that they don't share in the state. I don't know who though. I mean you can't really say that because the crowd is the pulse of what is over Rhea.

135
00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:07,500
Kaiser has Kaiser got a huge pop. He's the hometown. He's the hometown guy. I would be with you if it was like.

136
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:13,500
It's all of Europe. It's the same town everywhere. I thought it was just Belgium.

137
00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:25,500
No, I was saying like every time he's come out on the even on the house shows like on the year just anywhere in Europe, Kaiser is getting big pops. Now it might be because everybody hates Charlotte and they know that he's in there with Tiffany.

138
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:33,500
So maybe that was before all that, but to be fair, they did test him as a baby face on the international loop. So there was some of that too.

139
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:46,500
I still I think like she's getting the eos getting a bigger baby face reaction because of the way that sorrows been put together. I get that. But I think just if you will look to merch sales, it'd be Rhea Bianca eo.

140
00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:59,500
And I'm not trying to disrespect eo like she's so saying like she's a fine competitor, but you go back to the rumble a couple years ago and when you had Rhea Bianca facing off and we were all like, oh that's a WrestleMania dream match.

141
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:25,500
That's a WrestleMania match and you had that opportunity to have that as your WrestleMania match and I get it. You're trying to help eo get over even more, but I think on paper people still want to see just Rhea and Bianca, but I, but the eo thing has worked in the sense of it's got her more over, but I still think just on paper people wanted to be on.

142
00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:36,500
I don't know about that. I think I disagree with you on that one doctor. I don't think that Rhea and Bianca was the headliner actually I think people got behind eo once once you have the title, but we agreed to disagree.

143
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:47,500
Yeah, once she got the title, I'm just saying like when we came out of elimination paper and it looked like Rhea Bianca, there were a lot of people who wanted to see just those two go ahead to hit.

144
00:12:47,500 --> 00:13:01,500
Agreed, but that kind of gives credence to the booking. I don't think eo was not over with the crowd. I don't think this is like that they threw, you know, Jane Doe that wasn't super over. I mean, eo is super over with the crowd now.

145
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:10,500
Yeah, I guess I'll take, I saw a video with Paul Heyman talking about wrestling booking, what I wanted out easy it is and signs when you have two main eventers.

146
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:25,500
And then you add in semi main eventer into the mix. It now makes that semi main eventer, a main eventer by working with these two. I never looked at eo prior to this semi main event. I mean, she was the women's champion in WrestleMania last year.

147
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:39,500
Yeah, but I always looked at her as like a B level champion. I mean, maybe that's just, yeah, surprised by that. Yeah, no, I mean, if I looked at the, if I looked at the higher, she was like the most over person in the segment this past Monday.

148
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:52,500
Yeah, it's probably you're probably right. It's just in my head, like when I was looking at the hierarchy of the women in WWE, eo was maybe five or six.

149
00:13:52,500 --> 00:14:02,500
I would agree with you on that in like January. And I think she ascended upwards, which we've seen before heading into WrestleMania where people have capitalized on that, whether it be Daniel Bryan at Kofi Kingston.

150
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:19,500
Hell, even Bianca Belair a couple years ago, it was at four years ago, WrestleMania 37 against Sasha. I think going into early January, she was on a losing streak, goes in the rumble, wins the rumble. And then she just ascended from there. I mean, that's kind of what WrestleMania season is all about at times as well.

151
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:33,500
So we will break down that match all on next week's edition of SRTU. The next match here that is now official is a fatal four away for the WWE in account. No championship is Bronn Breaker defense against Finn Balor, Dominic Mysterio and Penta.

152
00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:43,500
The match as I met before made official on Raw later in the evening, Penta defeats Dominic Mysterio and a one on one match. Carlito gangs up on Penta along with Dominic post match until Bronn Breaker makes the save.

153
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:56,500
Laying everyone out, including in the same looking spirit of Carlito, Finnopier's lays out Bronn Breaker, holds in an account title up as well. And avoids being laid out by Bronn once he comes to again in that segment.

154
00:14:56,500 --> 00:15:00,500
So Dr. Tre, this I see title match is now official.

155
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:12,500
Yeah, I'm looking forward to this one. I mean, like you said, that spear was insane. Like I literally thought when Bronn flipped through Carlito, if he landed on his feet.

156
00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:27,500
Like that would have been more. I mean, he had so much eyes. I literally thought he was going to flat foot landed. So, but I'm really intrigued by this match because I want to see where they go because the icy title, you know, usually is coming stepping those title.

157
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:35,500
We've seen it done many times in the past. You feel like Bronn Breaker is ready to make that ascension up to main event level status.

158
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:47,500
But who do they pull the trigger with? Like I almost like a Finn wins the let down. I think everybody's either hoping for Penta or Dom. And look, early on, my money right now is on Dom.

159
00:15:47,500 --> 00:16:01,500
You know, I'm with you on that one. I think this is being set up for Dominic Mysterio to win the Accommodal Championship because I think the Finn Dominic storyline is more important right now than anything they do with Penta and Bronn coming on a mania.

160
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:11,500
Yeah, I think Penta is so over. Penta is what WCW could have done with LaParca with LaParca.

161
00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:20,500
I can't chairman of JVW. No, it's crazy. Yes, but at one point, LaParca was super over, you know, at one point and then WCW.

162
00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:26,500
So is El Danby. No, no, El Danby hard call them out and promo.

163
00:16:26,500 --> 00:16:39,500
They called out Ouventude, you know, Jericho's first night and then he became the juke for grind out, but LaParca back for a while was super, because it was the dance. It was all the fun.

164
00:16:39,500 --> 00:16:46,500
Penta has that energy. They just put way more glitzing glamour and fire were like everything was behind it.

165
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:54,500
So he doesn't really need an ice title win. You know, he can come out of this and feud with Dom and people be in on it.

166
00:16:54,500 --> 00:17:04,500
I don't know about that because I think there are fans at a hard course that obviously don't for me W impact wrestling stuff he did outside of AAA, CML, whatever.

167
00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:11,500
But I think Penta with the inner car will champion to help raise his stock up to make it continue to be super over.

168
00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:24,500
You could have Dom win at media and then have Dom Fendue their thing and then Dom Penta and that and then Penta gets over like, you know, around summer slam or something and I think that's fine.

169
00:17:24,500 --> 00:17:38,500
I think plus you there is the Ray Phoenix factor is to do they somehow postmania slide Penta and Phoenix back together or do we keep them separate until we get to next media and then they're in the world tag team title match.

170
00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:44,500
Here's what I'll say about the layer that I threw out there about Finn and Dominic. It looks like they could be headed toward something where there's a turn.

171
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:55,500
My assumption would be Finn turning baby face and judgment day taking out Finn. If that happens, I think the judgment day storyline is dead because at that point they've turned on edge.

172
00:17:55,500 --> 00:18:04,500
They've turned on reandame and then they've turned on Finn. It's like what is the point of this? I mean, at one point I compared it to on the level of the bloodline.

173
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:10,500
Maybe a couple steps by the bloodline of my interest into whatever the judgment day was doing on a week to week basis.

174
00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:21,500
It is definitely falling off and I don't think that they could run a bloodline ask storyline say like Finn reandame and reunite to take on this other judgment day.

175
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:25,500
I'll love bloodline versus new bloodline and make it successful.

176
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:34,500
It's like this is a really interesting time for the judgment day which has been a phenomenal act on WWE television for three years running.

177
00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:38,500
I think it was a WrestleMania 38 in Dallas.

178
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:41,500
Was it the night after Mania?

179
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:43,500
30.

180
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:55,500
It was Edge versus AJ where the judgment day became a thing where Damien helped out. 39 was Edge versus Finn in the Hell in a Cell match.

181
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:58,500
40 Edge was gone by then in the AEW.

182
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:04,500
This has been three years running. I think they would have established 2022 on their graphic.

183
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:07,500
This is a turning point for the judgment day.

184
00:19:07,500 --> 00:19:12,500
I'll definitely preview this more on next week's edition of SRTU.

185
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:18,500
Another match that was made official Dr. Trey Ray Mysterio will be taken on El Grande Americano aka Chad Gable.

186
00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:28,500
We assume El Grande Americano and the Creed Brothers defeat the LW on Raw after El Grande Americano put a loaded weapon in his mask and wins via the diving headbutt.

187
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:35,500
Mysterio asks Adam Pierce for a match against El Grande Americano at WrestleMania 41 which is the raw GM grant.

188
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:42,500
While Rey Mysterio is well respected veteran Adam Pierce is like I will give you a match whenever wherever you want against El Grande Americano.

189
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:46,500
Of course Rey is like well then give it to me in Mania. Sure you've got it.

190
00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:49,500
So there we go Rey Mysterio we thought was going to be taken on Chad Gable.

191
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:53,500
Just didn't assume it would be in a mask Dr. Trey.

192
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:58,500
Hey maybe we end up getting a mask versus mask match at WrestleMania.

193
00:19:58,500 --> 00:20:06,500
But that's assuming that El Grande Americano is Chad Gable. I mean for all we know it's Bryan Danielson because Bryan Danielson loves doing that flying headbutt.

194
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:11,500
So you never know it could be quite a few people who fit that size.

195
00:20:11,500 --> 00:20:15,500
I mean it could be that guy there was that guy named Shorty G.

196
00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:25,500
I mean he was around the same size as Chad Gable but and you know it's El Grande you know El Shorty you know who knows.

197
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:35,500
But yeah I mean this match like I love Rey. Rey obviously Rey lost a step but he's still one of the better in-ring competitors there is.

198
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:40,500
Chad Gable is arguably the best technical wrestler in the world today.

199
00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:43,500
It's going to be an outstanding match.

200
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:49,500
I think that would be a great gimmick though to be do the mask versus mask match at Mania.

201
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:55,500
Gable comes down and goes look El Grande is a friend of mine he says he'd do the match but it has to be a mask versus mask.

202
00:20:55,500 --> 00:21:01,500
Yeah I think that would be a little fun little twist on it instead of just a straight up singles match.

203
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:07,500
I mean but then again they may they may have plans for El Grande Americano to run this angle out for six more months.

204
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:12,500
And then that's just me fancy booking something that they've already got booked out for six months.

205
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:19,500
I feel like a mass is coming off at Mania would not shock me if it's El Grande Americano did not think of the mass versus mass stuff.

206
00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:22,500
I mentioned this a couple weeks ago this feels like such old school WWE booking.

207
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:32,500
I'm not really a huge fan of it because it's too cartoony for me but whatever it gets Chad Gable on the rest of any car in a match against Rey Mysterio so I'm all for it.

208
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:38,500
This match became official on Thursday today. Drew McAntyre vs. Damien Priests.

209
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:45,500
McAntyre and Priests cut two really good promo backstage during SmackDown sending the state for how we got where we were from both perspectives in regards to their rivalry.

210
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:52,500
Priests makes the challenge to see McAntyre face to face in the ring on this week's SmackDown and challenges big Drew to match a restaurant in 41.

211
00:21:52,500 --> 00:22:03,500
This match became official on Adam Pierce's excuse me Nick all this is social media on Thursday and now we await if big Drew can wrestle based on his lead legit eye injury.

212
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:09,500
So according reports he is not the clear which is not good Dr. Trey because I want Drew McAntyre there.

213
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:14,500
Thoughts as Drew McAntyre vs. Damien Priests finally becomes official.

214
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:20,500
I have to ask you a very serious question. Are you following Nick all this on X?

215
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:23,500
No I just happened to see it on DoDo's Instagram.

216
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:27,500
That's how I found it also. I found it through something else.

217
00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:35,500
I love you to death man. I just didn't know if you were following Nick all this on X. So you know on paper once again this is arguably a match that could steal the shot.

218
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:41,500
I know I've said this about five matches but these guys are two of the better big man wrestlers in the world today.

219
00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:54,500
I'm excited for the match if it happens. Flip side is with the with the blinding angle. Could we get a blindfold match or you know the Jake Roberts Rick Martell style match from WrestleMania three.

220
00:22:54,500 --> 00:22:58,500
Cover the faces up make it equal and then that's full match.

221
00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:03,500
Yeah that was already double eye patch double eye patch match.

222
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:15,500
Okay I you know that'd be a first double eye patch match and then just like and then it should be a guess referee could be PCO and he could bring back his what was it Paul Pierre Carl Ulet.

223
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:18,500
Yeah Pierre Carl Ulet character that was a pirate.

224
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:21,500
The pirate. Stay tuned folks.

225
00:23:21,500 --> 00:23:28,500
Paul Bertrand Paul Bertrand still floating around the Indies. I mean he was a pirate. Yeah he and he's a firefighter as well. So why not.

226
00:23:28,500 --> 00:23:35,500
And then we'll get to our confirm matches here just to go through some of those some news and notes Cody Roach versus John Cena for the WWE championship.

227
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:47,500
We had no face to face confrontation this week which was I was I was fearful of however a cool video package to hype up the match to last of my kind by one of Dr. Trace favorite Shibuzy played on raw.

228
00:23:47,500 --> 00:24:07,500
It's not quite my way by limp is getting a WrestleMania 17 cool but I did find it cool it was also announced that on next week's edition of Smackdown John Cena making appearance so don't expect him on this Friday Smackdown this Monday's raw then last and next time we see him will be the night before WrestleMania night one on Smackdown.

229
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:11,500
No real news on this one Dr. Trace which is kind of a letdown.

230
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:18,500
Yeah I'm kind of bummed out that we had this big thing in the shame or the rock and Cody we haven't seen the rock.

231
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:31,500
Which was rumored because of his schedule in the U.S.L. and everything else but you know there's got to be pay off you out of this and maybe it's Cody wins and the Rock turns on Cena.

232
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:56,500
You know and we had seen a rock three at some point or something in this magical mystery retirement tour so yeah it's a letdown but don't knock Shibuzy I like Shibuzy he's not he's not too bad so I thought you're going to say the big announcement coming out of this was that Shibuzy was going to appear in WrestleMania and you know I'm like it couldn't be any worse than what Hardy did it so much like a couple years ago.

233
00:24:56,500 --> 00:25:22,500
Next here is Gunther versus J.U. so for the World of the way championship J.U. is a pro-man Gunther following the beat down of Jimmy at the hands of Gunther the week before and Vows to get revenge for his brother and family against Gunther at WrestleMania 41 J.T.L.S. Gunther he knows how he knows he could beat him at WrestleMania and apologizes for the man he's about to become this went up a level here doctorate for me I really enjoyed this promo thoughts and take away from Gunther and J.U.S.O. build this past week.

234
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:35,500
We needed this like this was that promo from J that we've been kind of wanting and needing because look J.U.P. over the fans he's the fun love and kind of party guy like everybody loves him.

235
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:41,500
We hadn't really seen that serious side come out in this whole rivalry.

236
00:25:41,500 --> 00:26:09,500
Excuse me still getting a rest rep but we needed this like this is we need our baby faces to have that edge where they can dial it in and basically go into ask a promote and now you guys even if it actually pays off if J has not only that edge in the promo but that edginess in the ring as well because that's something we really haven't seen outside of maybe is match with Roman.

237
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:18,500
You know everything else has been kind of like just fun even his match with Jimmy last year didn't really have that edge to it.

238
00:26:18,500 --> 00:26:25,500
You need to J need to show that he has that ability to take it up a notch and get really serious down the business and just get guys.

239
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:30,500
Yeah enough of the like eating and all that stuff I'm all here for it but we need some seriousness out of them.

240
00:26:30,500 --> 00:26:36,500
So I'm glad that that the last two weeks for this have been really good for that that feud headed into WrestleMania 41.

241
00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:43,500
Speaking of turning up the heat Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair for the women's champion WWE women's championship.

242
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:54,500
Stratton Flair had a really good verbal sparring back and forth on Smackdown this week where Tiffany came out looking like the winner of that battle as Charlotte couldn't get a word an edge wise and looked like the crowd's booze got to her.

243
00:26:54,500 --> 00:27:04,500
And then these are actual notes I wrote on Friday Dr. Trey as I watched the segment I wrote there seems to be actual animosity between the both of them as shots against their personal lives took center stage.

244
00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:07,500
Really good job billy up the match this week.

245
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:14,500
Russell votes on Twitter later tweeted Charlotte and Tiffany said very little what was in the rundown of them off script quite a bit.

246
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:32,500
PW inside her later reported the Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair saving last night went way off the plan back in fourth verbiage in regards to Tiffany's Owen three line the belief among those spoken with this morning that was Saturday morning has actually fired away on Charlotte and were retaliation for how Flair ate her up on a previous face to face segment.

247
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:35,500
That was the one from like two three weeks ago.

248
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:43,500
Some spoken with felt stratton stood up for herself in a way that put the spotlight back on her and in front of a Chicago crowd that was pro stratton.

249
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:47,500
Whilst others felt like the same got a why and didn't help anyone.

250
00:27:47,500 --> 00:27:57,500
This was much talked about because of the real tension and it seems like that was legit if it wasn't and that was acting amazing job by Tiffany Stratton.

251
00:27:57,500 --> 00:28:07,500
Where this literally if this is a dial and you're like where am I at with this this few it's like it's at a five right now this got turned up to nine ten maybe eleven.

252
00:28:07,500 --> 00:28:17,500
This is really good and now we will see how they follow it up on this Friday smackdown the following weeks edition of smackdown not to try.

253
00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:26,500
Yeah it's weird for I don't know where I land on this because I like my pro wrestling to be pro wrestling and when people are getting personal and like it felt.

254
00:28:26,500 --> 00:28:39,500
Personal but awkward at times like like neither one of them knew where to go with stuff and they were just going yep all right you said this I'm gonna say this and it felt personal so.

255
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:53,500
I don't know about you I'm not I'm not the biggest Charlotte fan when it comes to her in ring work that there are times that she does stuff that I'm like yeah that just look bad and sometimes it feels like she does go.

256
00:28:53,500 --> 00:29:19,500
Stiff or two stiff at times in the ring which doesn't like the person she's working with so it's in the in the sense of a pro wrestling match and a pro wrestling feud I'm at a six but in the sense of is this a shoot like are they gonna start shooting on each other in the match like that's got me at like a nine to a 10 like I don't know.

257
00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:24,500
Where the wrestling world ends in the real world begins because I mean the hell even.

258
00:29:24,500 --> 00:29:43,500
Kaiser was throwing stuff out on X you know post segments on all of that stuff but yeah it's it's weird in a sense of like this line of work is shoot with these two have gotten really blurred so I'm like I'm not expecting a great pro wrestling match but.

259
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:50,500
I am interested to see if they just go completely off script about three cores the way there's match and just start firing up on each other.

260
00:29:50,500 --> 00:30:01,500
I knew something was up based on Charlottes like legitimate reaction she was definitely rattled and taken a back and then when Tiffany dropped the final line which I think it was like

261
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:30,500
going three in marriages and then immediately rolled out of the ring I'm like this is this is it like scripted because I think if you do something like that you get face to face she rolls right out of the ring holds the title up and you could just tell like she got either because she thought it could have gotten bad yeah I mean Tiffany's afraid of Charlotte like what you like in a in a in a fist fight sense like this is the one that I love.

262
00:30:30,500 --> 00:30:57,500
This is the one thing that I love about being in the pro wrestling business like there are things you will say in a ring that you wouldn't say to this person backstage because that person backstage could kick your ass in the ring you feel safe and that was one of those moments where Tiffany said something that in the inside the inside the ring she can get away with but if she has said that the Charlotte backstage Charlotte will probably knocked her out.

263
00:30:57,500 --> 00:31:14,500
And that's why she did that quick roll out and that's why Charlotte and fired off her last little line which I thought was utterly ridiculous my guess is that vignette they did where they were in two different locations and Charlotte ate her up which we talked about here on the podcast just like made Tiffany Tiffany look bad.

264
00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:33,500
Somebody a veteran someone had to tell her that she needs to defend herself on television she needs to save this because she's looking bad right now and this is like the time to show WWE that you're the integral I think this was a career defining moment for Tiffany's friend doctor try she needed to do it sometimes you gotta be an asshole.

265
00:31:33,500 --> 00:32:02,500
Yeah and I tell you in Charlotte Charlotte's a bully in a lot of ways and I've watched her do this for years if she doesn't respect the person she's wrestling with or if she thinks or she feels like she's being disrespected by the company she will bully that person in the ring and on the mic and that's where I think this is gone and you're right I think somebody told Tiffany like look if she and I think a lot of the one that when Charlotte started doing this.

266
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:23,500
When Charlotte started doing that like high pitch valley girl talk during that promo that he said F this and fired that shot because somebody told her like you gotta stand up for yourself if you're gonna be the face of this company for the next 10 years you gotta show that you're not gonna back down to somebody like her.

267
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:28,500
And then that's why she also rolled out the ring because I think she was the Charlotte would come after her.

268
00:32:28,500 --> 00:32:46,500
Yeah they raised the level there I don't think that's what they wanted to do and I know people like it didn't come off well I completely disagree I loved it I thought it was great and props to them I enjoyed it so there we go Tiffany versus Charlotte we'll talk about that and preview it all next week show.

269
00:32:46,500 --> 00:33:01,500
So I'm unfortunate news here the Kevin Owens versus Randy Orton match Kevin Owens reveals he needs next surgery and that is match with Randy Orton is now off for us many 41 Smackdown General Manager Nick all this says or does have a match of us maybe 41 right now in order response with an RKO.

270
00:33:01,500 --> 00:33:11,500
So many levels here Dr. what should they do with Randy Orton for rest of many with less than 10 days ago 10 days to go I mean I feel awful for Kevin Owens.

271
00:33:11,500 --> 00:33:26,500
This was all bad because this was a good feud a good build and two guys that we really like watching I'm totally bummed out for Kevin Owens because he's gonna be up for probably the rest of the year and bummed out for Randy Orton because like where do you go from here now.

272
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:37,500
Yeah it's really tricky because I think the the two most natural opponents for Randy or are in the main event of night two.

273
00:33:37,500 --> 00:33:55,500
I mean those two guys right there have so much history with Randy and makes the most sense but you know where I mean you do have a couple of guys who are sitting open you know he has history with solo he has you know like you could go that route you could go.

274
00:33:55,500 --> 00:34:07,500
I think ideally what I would love to see this is just once again fancy booking is the match at night two ends and scene is holding the title and I hear voices in my head kicks in.

275
00:34:07,500 --> 00:34:23,500
And we get an Orton scene of stare down you know at the end of the show or Orton Cody stare down you know I just I'm really confused about what you do with this because obviously you want Randy on the show somewhere somehow in some semblance.

276
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:33,500
And a featured in a featured moment but when all the when all the you know when all the dance people when all the when all the dancers have partners.

277
00:34:33,500 --> 00:34:43,500
What do you do so it's it's a tricky situation I'm intrigued to see what they do with it because I still feel like Randy is going to be a feature spot in the show.

278
00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:55,500
I just don't know where you put them by the way long term storytelling is as well the RKO on all this remember when all this find them like two years ago for an RKO and Randy paid them double it.

279
00:34:55,500 --> 00:35:05,500
And Randy said is for the next time so he got his next time so he's really paid up his fines yeah there it is I mean I think names that stick out to me I agree with you Cody and see it would be.

280
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:29,500
Names I would immediately think of and that's not happening I think WrestleMania excuse me backlash in St. Louis I think we're going to big match for Randy Orton I would be surprised I don't think they would do Nick all this versus Randy Orton I could see Sammy Zane coming back against Randy Orton maybe a shameless put him in the match Braun Strowman I think solo is a very good choice as well.

281
00:35:29,500 --> 00:35:42,500
Orton's got to get on this car doctor and I don't know how they do it right now so the good thing is they've got three episodes left here two smack downs one raw where they could try to make something happen so stay tuned for the Randy Orton stuff.

282
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:50,500
Roman Reigns versus Seth freakin Rounds versus CM Punk punk kicks off smack down with a great promo highlighting this journey to the main event WrestleMania Y you deserve the spot.

283
00:35:50,500 --> 00:36:04,500
Heyman comes out punk tells him he will reveal the favor later in the evening CM Punk finally catches in on his favor and Paul Heyman will be in his corner at WrestleMania 41 Roman Reigns tells Heyman to tell punk no Heyman refuses it smack down ends with punk laying out reigns.

284
00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:17,500
You know one question here we'll talk about doctor before we go over and look at the raw stuff did this make the favor storyline worth it on raw Paul Heyman comes out to cut a promo but is interrupted by Seth Rounds who threatens to take him out for WrestleMania 41.

285
00:36:17,500 --> 00:36:28,500
So he does again involve in the match at WrestleMania 41 it doesn't have to choose between Reigns and punk at any point before Rawlins lays out Heyman punk makes the saving they brought until Rollins gets the upper hand by laying punk out with a stop.

286
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:42,500
Rawlins teases hitting a stop on Heyman but doesn't do so and it says Heyman now he owes Rawlins a favor back to my original question here doctor trade did this favor storyline now that it's panned out was it worth it.

287
00:36:42,500 --> 00:37:07,500
I'm gonna say yes just because of the bias this I have for my love for CM Punk and Paul Heyman like this like you saw this stuff I'm sure you saw the videos from years ago when Paul Heyman told him that someday it'll be in the WrestleMania main event match and he will be there in his corner because that's his dream.

288
00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:27,500
So some really good long term storytelling for the favor be called in and in in the confines of K-Fave storyline wrestling taking Heyman away from Roman puts Roman at a disadvantage in this match so it then kind of evens things out.

289
00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:56,500
So once again like this to me is good triple threat storytelling because punk's kind of the baby face Rawlins is kind of the heal and Roman's kind of in the middle so but you have your Roman fans you have your your punk fans and you have your Wallace fans so this has got a lot of intrigue because you don't know where the audience is going to go you don't know where the story is going to go so it covers a lot of that

290
00:37:56,500 --> 00:38:18,500
gray area that we love that that intrigue heading into a match as a triple threat match with your biggest stars and no title on the line so you had to create some other intrigue other than just I'm the best in the world I'm the trouble chief I'm the revolutionary whatever like this adds some extra layers to it to make this even more intriguing matchup at WrestleMania.

291
00:38:18,500 --> 00:38:38,500
Yeah it's going to be really really wild to see what the crowd reaction is for this one because again three baby faces in a triple threat it's just like the EO Rio Bianca stuff but on a whole not the level because their main eventing their top stars and wrestling for the last 15 20 years and you get the Paul Heyman factor and so I like this layer.

292
00:38:38,500 --> 00:38:48,500
And then finally AJ Styles versus Logan Paul carrying cross dresses how much they need AJ Styles to defeat local Paul WrestleMania 41 and how we need the aggressive AJ Styles or WrestleMania 41.

293
00:38:48,500 --> 00:38:58,500
AJ challenge cross to a match at the last run before WrestleMania 41 to show cross how you bring the aggression no Logan Paul this week any takeaways on this build up to try.

294
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:12,500
Can we can people start giving carrying cross more love I mean I brought up a few weeks ago you agree to me one of the most underrated people on this roster and how he plays into people.

295
00:39:12,500 --> 00:39:20,500
But this you're absolutely right like I mean this is kind of like you're playing on some real life stuff and how Logan's.

296
00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:30,500
I don't want to use ostracized from the locker room but there is that underlying current of does he deserve this spot does he deserve to be here.

297
00:39:30,500 --> 00:39:35,500
You know with his relative short time in pro wrestling so you're playing into that.

298
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:48,500
Carry in is so good this character of kind of being that devil on people shoulder getting into their head heading into big matchups like this is some really good intrigue without Logan Paul being there.

299
00:39:48,500 --> 00:40:07,500
So I thought it was well done and just once again do we get he'll AJ does that this is does it some way AJ beating up Logan Paul make Logan a baby face because we talked about Logan and Gunther before so like it does add a little bit extra layer into it on a match that probably is.

300
00:40:07,500 --> 00:40:22,500
You know one of your opening one or two matches it's down the ladder of entry.

301
00:40:22,500 --> 00:40:37,500
So I think we're going to have a lot of fun in the WWE tag team championship for a while we thought it was motor city machine guns DIY pretty deadly low scars as.

302
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:44,500
Dr. Shrein match on last week show we could see street profits motor city machine guns versus DIY I'm starting to lean that way as well as motor city machine gun defeats DIY in a number of containers tag team match that sees Chris David using the exposed turnbuckle to pin champa.

303
00:40:44,500 --> 00:41:06,500
I expect it to be a freeway match now but wrestle votes I guess they reported on the radio show that the WWE tag team title match may happen on the Smackdown before WrestleMania 41 now Dr. Trey which would be a disappointment because this has been something that's had a lot of legs since the start of the calendar year thoughts here on where they may be going with the WWE tag team championship.

304
00:41:06,500 --> 00:41:28,500
Yeah, we've talked about this for a couple of ways which matches will end up on Smackdown versus which will actually end up on Mania as much as I love all three of these tag teams nobody's really caught the fans moja like nobody's really sparked anything out of these three teams so.

305
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:57,500
I kind of do expect this to be on Smackdown like people like the street profits but I think they like the fun love and parties street profits more than this version we're getting now I think people love watching motor city machine guns in the ring but their personalities haven't come out yet and gargano and champa are just well liked throughout what respective but what's the end these guys haven't caught fire on the main roster like they were in XC so.

306
00:41:57,500 --> 00:42:02,500
Yeah, I kind of think this will end up being like the main event of the Smackdown before WrestleMania.

307
00:42:02,500 --> 00:42:20,500
We are predicting live Morgan and Rick Elrod Regus the defend WWE of the tag team championship against the Lyre Val Curian Bailey and it was confirmed on Smackdown this past week that there will be a women's tag team gauntlet match where the winner will take on the champs of WrestleMania 41 so the titles will be on the line in WrestleMania and I'm glad that Liv Morgan is getting on the card.

308
00:42:20,500 --> 00:42:46,500
Raw and Smackdown stars will be the match Lyre and Bayley Zoe and Shane and Bayzler be Fab and Mishin the secret hervice of Piper Niven and Alba fire Natalia and Maxine DePree and Kate and Carter and Katana chance were announced for the match Lyre did defeat Bayley to retain the ICT title on raw and I'm just wondering how that result may play into this gauntlet match as well so the women's tag team titles will be defended at WrestleMania.

309
00:42:46,500 --> 00:43:01,500
WrestleMania, we just don't know against who right now. >> Yeah, were you surprised that you didn't get a little bit of Liv and Raquel out there post match at least to kind of maybe a foreshadow it a little bit for Lyre and Bayley?

310
00:43:01,500 --> 00:43:03,500
>> Yeah. >> Yeah, I agree.

311
00:43:03,500 --> 00:43:04,500
>> Yep.

312
00:43:04,500 --> 00:43:10,500
>> I was shocked. >> Because otherwise, by the way, by the way, I honestly thought you said the secret purpose.

313
00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:17,500
>> No, for if I got it, I didn't. >> Yeah, I was like the what's it like purpose Ellison is making the comeback?

314
00:43:17,500 --> 00:43:20,500
I don't really, that's a deep cut.

315
00:43:20,500 --> 00:43:33,500
But yeah, like honestly, I would love to see the secret service win this gauntlet match is because I love everything Chelsea Piper and Alba are doing but it does kind of feel like we're going to get Lyre and Bayley against Liv and Raquel.

316
00:43:33,500 --> 00:43:41,500
But that's why I wish they had hedged something on Raul leading into the gauntlet match on SmackDown.

317
00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:46,500
>> War Raiders and New Day for the World Tag Team Championship is in rumored match that we've been looking at.

318
00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:58,500
War Raiders versus New Day was on Raul this past week. It ends in a DQ when I've already used this to chair on Xavier Woods, which leads to New Day beating down the champ's post match when they nearly try to take out Eric, Sergio the Gord Pair and Neck.

319
00:43:58,500 --> 00:44:06,500
>> It seemed like that this match was a table center for something more of WrestleMania 41, but I could see it on like Raul or SmackDown this week, Dr. Trey as well.

320
00:44:06,500 --> 00:44:22,500
>> Yeah, I don't know if they'll put some of the raw people on the SmackDown before WrestleMania, but once again, like this is, look, you and I have been championing tag team wrestling for better part of this entire run of the show.

321
00:44:22,500 --> 00:44:32,500
You and I are big tag team wrestling guys. It just feels like right now the only hot act in tag team wrestling on WWE is the New Day.

322
00:44:32,500 --> 00:44:35,500
And that's just because people want to move the New Day.

323
00:44:35,500 --> 00:44:42,500
Like even the war Raiders, like as much as I love them, the change to kind of like the motorcycle bad ass guys.

324
00:44:42,500 --> 00:44:45,500
I like them better when they are doing the Viking gimmick.

325
00:44:45,500 --> 00:44:52,500
I know that this is more their New Japan stuff, but I still kind of like the Viking gimmick a little better.

326
00:44:52,500 --> 00:45:03,500
It just feels like them being their real selves has kind of fallen flat a little bit, which is why I think this match will either end up on Raul or SmackDown and not on WrestleMania.

327
00:45:03,500 --> 00:45:10,500
>> And then finally the last rumour in match that we have been talking about was Chelsea Green defending the United States Championship against Selena Vega.

328
00:45:10,500 --> 00:45:15,500
Nothing happened this past week, so I think we could take this rumour in match off the list now, Dr. Trey.

329
00:45:15,500 --> 00:45:23,500
>> Is it a let down that probably neither of the women's Intercontinental or women's US Championship will be on WrestleMania?

330
00:45:23,500 --> 00:45:26,500
>> Well, I think they will be on WrestleMania. It just won't be defending it.

331
00:45:26,500 --> 00:45:30,500
>> Just not being defended. Yeah, it is disappointing. Yes.

332
00:45:30,500 --> 00:45:34,500
>> I mean, you're kind of sagrified to the Intercontinental title for Liv and Raquel.

333
00:45:34,500 --> 00:45:39,500
And that's fine. Liv deserves a big match at WrestleMania.

334
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:46,500
It just does kind of feel like a let down that Chelsea's been a star on SmackDown the entire year.

335
00:45:46,500 --> 00:45:51,500
I mean, if Chelsea doesn't wrestle with any match, that is really going to be a let down for me.

336
00:45:51,500 --> 00:46:04,500
>> I agree with you. I think outside of this card, I think WWE Creative tends to look at the IC US titles for both men and women as like a TV title that is defending on Raul and SmackDown, handing it into a PLA, more than being a PLA.

337
00:46:04,500 --> 00:46:10,500
But even if they had done something with, you know, Naya wants a title, like Naya wants a title at WrestleMania.

338
00:46:10,500 --> 00:46:17,500
So she all of a sudden jumps in to Chelsea's business. And we were seeing baby face, baby face, other matches.

339
00:46:17,500 --> 00:46:28,500
That would be an okay thing for me to see. Hey, let's get Naya and Candace involved in the business of Chelsea and Piper and Alba.

340
00:46:28,500 --> 00:46:37,500
And they're all entertaining performers. That could be some fun stuff, heading into WrestleMania and they just didn't pull the trigger on it.

341
00:46:37,500 --> 00:46:43,500
>> So we went through the new confirmed confirmed rumored matches for the WrestleMania 41 card roundup. This is the last one.

342
00:46:43,500 --> 00:46:52,500
We will pre-remember that the entire card on next week's edition of the show. However, Dr. Shri, do you want to ask what has been the best WrestleMania 4-1 match build handing to this final stretch?

343
00:46:52,500 --> 00:47:03,500
>> I was going to say Kevin and Randy until Kevin's neck injury. Probably punk Rawlings and Reigns.

344
00:47:03,500 --> 00:47:10,500
>> I agree with you. >> Cody Cena's been good, but Cena's absence has brought it down a little bit.

345
00:47:10,500 --> 00:47:16,500
Jay and Gunther has gotten a lot better than I would probably put Jay and Gunther actually number two.

346
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:28,500
>> Okay. >> Just because I think they've come so far from, I mean, remember this was the first match announced for WrestleMania and it got groans from the Internet community.

347
00:47:28,500 --> 00:47:41,500
I think it has kind of grown on people between where it was to where it is now. So I would probably, I think the bill for Gunther and Jay has been better than the bill for Cody and Cena.

348
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:53,500
>> I would say I would agree with you Reigns Rawlings punk, one for me, two. I'm going to go with, I'm going to say Rhodes and Cena still.

349
00:47:53,500 --> 00:48:00,500
Three Jay Gunther, four probably Tiffany Charlotte based on that segment.

350
00:48:00,500 --> 00:48:10,500
Now, here's the thing, here's the question, has the bill for Cena and Rhodes been better than the bill for Gunther and Jay?

351
00:48:10,500 --> 00:48:19,500
Or is it just the anticipation puts that match of Rhodes and Cena higher and Gunther and Jay haven't met it yet?

352
00:48:19,500 --> 00:48:31,500
>> I think Rhodes and Cena has been better because they've had more impactful segments and less segments that have made a bigger impact than I would say the last two weeks of what Jay and Gunther did.

353
00:48:31,500 --> 00:48:34,500
>> Jay and Gunther needed those two weeks.

354
00:48:34,500 --> 00:48:48,500
>> I think this is where star power comes into it because, yeah, I don't think Cody and Cena, if you had if a non-wrestling fan had watched the end of a elimination chamber.

355
00:48:48,500 --> 00:48:58,500
With that beat down of Cody and then you get one physical interaction between them.

356
00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:04,500
People be like, that guy got his ass whipped and he's only hit him once since then.

357
00:49:04,500 --> 00:49:09,500
Like, why are you not kicking this guy's ass every chance you get?

358
00:49:09,500 --> 00:49:19,500
That's been my only knock on this bill is, they beat him down pretty badly and Cody's whole thing has been like, I'm just trying to understand why.

359
00:49:19,500 --> 00:49:21,500
I'm just trying to understand why.

360
00:49:21,500 --> 00:49:23,500
I'm like, beat his ass.

361
00:49:23,500 --> 00:49:28,500
They've messed you up pretty bad, dude, and you're just not shalant about it.

362
00:49:28,500 --> 00:49:30,500
That's my only knock on that bill.

363
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:40,500
Star power wise, it's got everything you want. I just really haven't enjoyed the build to the physicality that I usually like.

364
00:49:40,500 --> 00:49:43,500
I wrestle me like Charlotte Tiffany, I'm ready for them to fight.

365
00:49:43,500 --> 00:49:47,500
You know, punk Rollins Ray's, I'm ready for them to fight.

366
00:49:47,500 --> 00:49:51,500
Cody Cena for what happened at chamber to where we're at now.

367
00:49:51,500 --> 00:49:56,500
I'm like, yeah, it just, it really hasn't felt like it's that physical.

368
00:49:56,500 --> 00:50:02,500
It feels more mental and I don't know, I just want to see guys fight at WrestleMania.

369
00:50:02,500 --> 00:50:03,500
It's all about the build, right?

370
00:50:03,500 --> 00:50:06,500
And that's, you know, who do you want to see fight right now?

371
00:50:06,500 --> 00:50:07,500
Who I want to see fight right now?

372
00:50:07,500 --> 00:50:14,500
Punk Rollins Ray's, Cody Cena, Comter, Jay Tiffany, Charlotte right now.

373
00:50:14,500 --> 00:50:22,500
That's, that's kind of where I sit and we'll see how this all looks when we predict it on next week's show and see if that's still the case.

374
00:50:22,500 --> 00:50:29,500
I was asking, would Kevin and Randy prior to this announcement, would that have been higher up on your list?

375
00:50:29,500 --> 00:50:34,500
I think if I, it would, it would crack the top five.

376
00:50:34,500 --> 00:50:39,500
I would say it would probably be higher, higher than Tiffany and Charlotte.

377
00:50:39,500 --> 00:50:42,500
I think it was a, it was dragging a little bit.

378
00:50:42,500 --> 00:50:46,500
Now you kind of understand why? Because Owens was legitimately hurt.

379
00:50:46,500 --> 00:50:47,500
Yeah.

380
00:50:47,500 --> 00:50:51,500
They didn't interact much. I think if there was a little bit more physicality

381
00:50:51,500 --> 00:50:57,500
and they were starting to hype up the punt kick versus the Package Pile driver.

382
00:50:57,500 --> 00:51:02,500
Yeah, it felt like, yeah, they were protecting Kevin.

383
00:51:02,500 --> 00:51:05,500
It felt like the last couple weeks now that we know what we know.

384
00:51:05,500 --> 00:51:06,500
And rightfully so.

385
00:51:06,500 --> 00:51:14,500
I think I would have had a third, but once again, that's where the star power comes in, because I think Kevin and Randy are bigger stars than Jay and Gother.

386
00:51:14,500 --> 00:51:21,500
Switching gears here now to the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2025, they announced three legacy inductees, Dr. Trey.

387
00:51:21,500 --> 00:51:26,500
These are all names that we grew up on. Kamala, Dory Funcini, Ivan Koloff.

388
00:51:26,500 --> 00:51:29,500
In the past, there's been like a mix of ocean names that we may or may not know.

389
00:51:29,500 --> 00:51:32,500
We may have seen them in the ring. We may not have seen them in the ring.

390
00:51:32,500 --> 00:51:39,500
These are three people that we are familiar with. Kamala, Dory Func, and Ivan Koloff all going to the WWE Hall of Fame Dr. Trey.

391
00:51:39,500 --> 00:51:48,500
So the Ivan Koloff, like Kamala is big to me because I grew up on Kamala. That was Mid-South, UWF, into the early days of WWE.

392
00:51:48,500 --> 00:51:56,500
The Ivan Koloff one is very, very special to me, because one of my best friends was trained in pro wrestling by Ivan Koloff.

393
00:51:56,500 --> 00:52:01,500
The Rockets City's James Lord James Cicero, Jimmy Cicero.

394
00:52:01,500 --> 00:52:03,500
I've mentioned it to you in the past.

395
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:12,500
If you remember the APA bar fight, Jimmy Cicero is the ball-headed guy who started the fight with the APA in that building.

396
00:52:12,500 --> 00:52:18,500
I'm now watching Jimmy Cicero's son, wrestler, Rockets City.

397
00:52:18,500 --> 00:52:27,500
So, Ivan Koloff one is very, very special to me because I know how much it means to everybody who was trained by Ivan, how much he meant all of them.

398
00:52:27,500 --> 00:52:34,500
I've gotten more, I've been Koloff stories in the last three or four years than I ever thought I would get.

399
00:52:34,500 --> 00:52:43,500
Just a wonderful good man. And people forget, like he's the guy who ended Bruno's reign.

400
00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:49,500
Like one of the most underrated pro wrestlers of the last 50 years.

401
00:52:49,500 --> 00:52:55,500
And it's really good to see him finally get his just desserts going into the Hall of Fame.

402
00:52:55,500 --> 00:52:59,500
Yeah, you just wish all three guys were here to win this.

403
00:52:59,500 --> 00:53:05,500
Great call there by Adam to the class of 2025, Kamal and Dori Fung Senior and Ivan Koloff.

404
00:53:05,500 --> 00:53:10,500
And then last year, Dr. Tray, this past Sunday was AW Dynasty.

405
00:53:10,500 --> 00:53:14,500
Obviously, we have not been recapt in reviewing the AW paper views at great length.

406
00:53:14,500 --> 00:53:19,500
The big news out of there was Swarth Strickland losing the John Moxley, thanks to the young bucks returning.

407
00:53:19,500 --> 00:53:27,500
A lot of people really crappin' on it. I thought Swarth was gonna become the AW World Champion.

408
00:53:27,500 --> 00:53:33,500
I thought that was the direction they're going. A lot of negative reaction to Moxley retaining.

409
00:53:33,500 --> 00:53:39,500
I don't think it affected Dynamite's viewership. I actually think it may have gone up this past week or stayed flat.

410
00:53:39,500 --> 00:53:46,500
Nonetheless, I haven't watched the show in full yet. I've seen bits and pieces, but I would have loved...

411
00:53:46,500 --> 00:53:52,500
I wanted to see Swarth back with the gold. I thought it was a disappointing ending to the show.

412
00:53:52,500 --> 00:53:55,500
It seems like a lot of people felt that same way as well.

413
00:53:55,500 --> 00:54:00,500
I actually, so I didn't watch a lot, but I went back and watched the whole show.

414
00:54:00,500 --> 00:54:06,500
I thought the show itself was pretty good until the main event of...

415
00:54:06,500 --> 00:54:11,500
And I had not gone online for people to kind of warn me about the end.

416
00:54:11,500 --> 00:54:19,500
It did, it made zero sense. It didn't really help anything out with the storyline.

417
00:54:19,500 --> 00:54:28,500
I know I use this a lot. It was very early 2000's WCW booking finish for that.

418
00:54:28,500 --> 00:54:32,500
Multiple people running in all over the place.

419
00:54:32,500 --> 00:54:36,500
And then you get the surprise of the young bucks who have really...

420
00:54:36,500 --> 00:54:47,500
They've had what one interaction with Swarth is entire time. And that was the AW elite hell on a cell version match they did.

421
00:54:47,500 --> 00:54:51,500
Blood and guts. That's pretty much it. So it didn't make a lot of sense.

422
00:54:51,500 --> 00:54:54,500
And the last time we saw the young bucks, they were running from the Death Writers.

423
00:54:54,500 --> 00:54:57,500
So, didn't make a lot of sense. Crappy ending.

424
00:54:57,500 --> 00:55:04,500
But, I still think they're saving Darby for the one to take the belt off mocks.

425
00:55:04,500 --> 00:55:10,500
That's kind of where I think everything's in. And I think that was the original plan all along.

426
00:55:10,500 --> 00:55:13,500
Then Darby hit by a bus and then climbed a mountain.

427
00:55:13,500 --> 00:55:19,500
So, I still think that's what they're... I think they're just waiting to pull that trigger.

428
00:55:19,500 --> 00:55:24,500
Yeah, I tend to agree with you as well. We'll wait on Darby to climb a mountain.

429
00:55:24,500 --> 00:55:28,500
I love that line. But the young bucks thing didn't make sense.

430
00:55:28,500 --> 00:55:35,500
But there are some reports out there that are saying that Jay White was reportedly supposed to turn heel and be the one that potentially cost Swarth the match.

431
00:55:35,500 --> 00:55:40,500
And then he had the legitimate injury. Hence why they did call the audible and the young bucks.

432
00:55:40,500 --> 00:55:46,500
Which if that is true, that does make sense because the young bucks thing doesn't make sense at all.

433
00:55:46,500 --> 00:55:48,500
So, I don't know.

434
00:55:48,500 --> 00:55:55,500
They did well on Dynamite to play it off by basically saying they did it for Hangman.

435
00:55:55,500 --> 00:56:00,500
Because Hangman had said along he didn't want Swarth to win the World title.

436
00:56:00,500 --> 00:56:04,500
And then Kenny comes out. No, Kata comes out. This word comes out.

437
00:56:04,500 --> 00:56:09,500
So I'm like, okay, at least if that's the audible, then it made a little sense.

438
00:56:09,500 --> 00:56:15,500
But just in that moment to close out Dynasty, it made zero sense.

439
00:56:15,500 --> 00:56:19,500
And then it just... It did feel... I mean, it felt like a completely audible.

440
00:56:19,500 --> 00:56:22,500
And then they're trying to cover their ass on Dynamite.

441
00:56:22,500 --> 00:56:27,500
So, because I think they felt... And even Tony Constantin, the press...

442
00:56:27,500 --> 00:56:31,500
Or in the press cover that he does listen to what the crowd is telling him at times.

443
00:56:31,500 --> 00:56:35,500
Because somebody I think asked him directly about the death, writer storyline.

444
00:56:35,500 --> 00:56:37,500
And he said he does listen to that stuff.

445
00:56:37,500 --> 00:56:42,500
But it felt like, oh crap, we can't go where we wanted to go.

446
00:56:42,500 --> 00:56:46,500
We still need a crazy finish to this. Let's do this.

447
00:56:46,500 --> 00:56:51,500
And then we can circle back to Hangman with the elite Swarth.

448
00:56:51,500 --> 00:56:59,500
Because now I'm thinking we're gonna get the Bucks and Kata versus Omega Swarth and Hangman.

449
00:56:59,500 --> 00:57:04,500
Yeah, it's... It seems like Tony's digging his heels in there.

450
00:57:04,500 --> 00:57:08,500
Wants this to be very successful storyline. I've never enjoyed it quite honestly.

451
00:57:08,500 --> 00:57:11,500
And I'm a big Moxley fan, love Claudio.

452
00:57:11,500 --> 00:57:14,500
Like Willard, you like Pacala as well.

453
00:57:14,500 --> 00:57:17,500
Rainer, Chef Fier, I just haven't seen enough of work to be like.

454
00:57:17,500 --> 00:57:19,500
Yeah, I think she's a great female star.

455
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:22,500
But like all those people involved. It's just like this has been very dry.

456
00:57:22,500 --> 00:57:26,500
The riddles, the promos are like I tune out out of them.

457
00:57:26,500 --> 00:57:28,500
And I just think the storyline is Rainer's course.

458
00:57:28,500 --> 00:57:32,500
And I think Tony again, his pull-in-page out of Vance and just kind of let it ride out too much.

459
00:57:32,500 --> 00:57:36,500
People want to see Swarth in the main event. They want to see Osprey in the main event.

460
00:57:36,500 --> 00:57:38,500
Darby in the main event, Hangman in the main event.

461
00:57:38,500 --> 00:57:42,500
Run with those guys. Let Moxley kind of go off a little bit here.

462
00:57:42,500 --> 00:57:45,500
So, but he wants to see this come to fruition.

463
00:57:45,500 --> 00:57:47,500
And hopefully I'm wrong and he's right at the end of the day.

464
00:57:47,500 --> 00:57:51,500
And there's a great payoff because as of right now it's just still kind of limping along.

465
00:57:51,500 --> 00:57:56,500
So, there you go. So, may you die in a dynasty recap and thoughts from the main event there

466
00:57:56,500 --> 00:57:59,500
between Swarth Strickland and John Moxley.

467
00:57:59,500 --> 00:58:02,500
