0:00 It's still prudent to be damaged! What now? Welcome everybody! Welcome to this week's This and This No Road Show Episode 873 for November 5th, 2026 This is your WWE Crown Jewel We'll preview and predictions edition of SRTU I am one half the show I am Jeff Kemp Join every single week of my personal video Dr. Franklin, Dr. Trey, what's it like to be in Riyadh Saudi Arabia by the time?
0:41 You get sand in places that you didn't really ever want to get sand Wow, that is incredible It's gritty The scenery is lovely But there are times when you just go, I did not know I get sand in my ear canal We made a decision Despite the United States government saying not to go over there Saudi Arabia paying us a ton of money to send Dr. Trey to be on site for Crown Jewel We sent him over there You're safe so far Does it really matter? Make sure we're getting that check cleared but you're safe The problem we had is we've had this in the past The very first Crown Jewel event they wanted Yokozuna We didn't have Yokozuna in West America I think they believe that I'm the original Dr. Wagner But I had to tell them, they don't speak Spanish either I think I should be okay Those early shows in Saudi Arabia Remember how bad they were? They were so off the beaten path of what you would watch on a week to week basis I mean pointing out that they wanted Yokozuna but they got some sort of random sumo wrestler Mansor, if they could have, they would have put the WWE Championship on them I think he defeated Dolf Ziggler and Cesaro, I want to say But you would never see him on WWE television, maybe the occasional NXT
2:15 And then of course the infamous Brothers of Destruction vs. Degeneration X match Goldberg vs Undertaker I mean just to name a few, there were some shit shows in Saudi Arabia And the fact that they were never storyline related It's kind of like the multiverse of WWE in a sense Where it's like you have your normal storyline, you're following And then it's like oh, but in this other realm of existence, this could possibly happen And that's where you get those matches where guys are knocking themselves unconscious or concussed Or that poor DX Brothers of Destruction match I think everybody was injured in that match except Shawn Michael Yes, that's the one where Triple H, what do you do, Taurus triceps Taurus triceps Kane, his wig came off And take your got concussed or something else in that match I think that was the Goldberg match Goldberg got concussed in the Goldberg Undertaker match Take your head something happened to him, I know he said in the pockets Like here's like of all the people in that match to not be hurt The fact that it was the guy that had the reconstructive back surgery You know was the one who actually so and who hadn't wrestled in 12 years That guy was fine, everybody else got hurt Yeah Shawn Michaels was completely bald
3:45 I mean it was just, it was not fun Not a good show, not good shows in those early days And then I would say in the last two, three years, four years maybe That they started making feel more like a regular WWE show which will be getting this Saturday morning At Crown Jewel as they will be having another quote "normal show" for PLA So Dr. Trey, we'll cover Crown Jewel towards the end here Programming out next week's show we will not be recapping or viewing Crown Jewel I will be aware on vacation Dr. Trey and I have decided we're going to go old school here We're going to do a special show where we riff about some of our favorite wrestling shows Events that we've seen all time that we could watch over and over and over again So if you've got some that come to mind feel free to comment over at the Patreon page Patreon.com/SRTUpodcast Dr. Trey, let's get into it here We had a major shake up on Monday night RAW this past week as Ethan Page shocked Chad Gable to be crowned the new Intercontinental Champion And we wonder now did WWE just make all ego a major RAW player?
4:46 Ethan Page defeated Chad Gable on RAW to win the IC title Gable's injured neck and shoulder became a major part of the match and ultimately kept him from holding the bridge after chaos theory Page survived the ankle lock, used the exposed turnbuckle and finished Gable with an egoplex It is Page's first championship singles championship on the main roster Why this matters, Ethan Page has always had the personality feel bigger than the spot he was in The Intercontinental title immediately gives him something tangible to build around on RAW Beating Chad Gable also matters because WWE did not need to protect Page with a fluke rollup or outside interference The bigger question is whether this is simply a title change or the beginning of WWE trading page like a legitimate upper card player Bottom line, Ethan Page finally has the kind of championship that can turn all ego from a strong character into a real RAW centerpiece I'm excited for Ethan Page, a guy that I've enjoyed watching now for almost 5 to 10 years Dr. Trash, you ask this, is Ethan Page the right person to carry the Intercontinental championship right now?
5:45 I mean, yet for me, yeah, because he's the quintessential character for the Intercontinental title You think of the history of the IC title going back to when I was a kid You know, Macho Man was really the first Intercontinental champion I remember but then you have the Mr. Perfect You have the Double J's, even the arrogant Shawn Michaels runs, you know You always had these cocky arrogant mid-size kind of healed guys that could kind of run a division of honky-tonk man, another one You know, Miz in more recent times, you know, even a Dolph Ziggler at times You know, those guys are those kind of like cocky arrogant son of a guns that we all hated growing up as kids, like not even just the rest of them We have kids in our schools that were like that, the rich kids that just seems like they always have everything handed to them We always hated those guys, so when you get a character like this that's so cocky, so arrogant, but he's really good It just makes you love to hate him and that's the perfect IC title guy for the Javon Evans, the Pentas, if they circle back to Chad Gable Like that's the kind of guy you can kind of build off of and help establish other baby faces And that's when we saw back in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s and that's kind of that guy you want to have on board for that role I love the comparisons there to the rest of the put out there I mean, it is spot on, Ethan Page is like a Miz now with the Intercontinental Championship to me
7:16 I mean, we talked about it like five, six months ago that Saturday nights main event where he had an IC title match When he just came over on the main roster and I was like, I think they should put the title on him now They didn't do it, he's been kind of dormant for a little bit and then he's starting to gain some more momentum And I love this for Ethan Page, I mean, he just seems like a gamer and he's another guy where, you know, it's funny, AW and WWE have these guys now Where one of them, you know, a wrestler leaves AW goes to WWE and they have more success, Royce Keys from a Powerhouse OBS, Ethan Page And then the folks from WWE that go over to AW and have more success, Swarth Strickland immediately comes to mind as a guy that has had insane success from going over to WWE and AW And it's nice to see that, it's nice to see guys that are getting better opportunities when they do go over to the other side of the promotion world in professional wrestling And they have a chance to really thrive because Ethan Page and AW for a while there was really not doing anything And here he is now the Intercomal Champion Dr. Tre going back to Chad Gable now, does Chad Gable need to chase the title back or is this the moment to move him into something bigger?
8:23 If he's, if you're keeping him on raw, you have to kind of circle back because, you know, you mentioned the guys from AW And we left out Penta, the money, the bank breeder, older right now as well, so you already have a baby face mid card, upper mid card guy already about ready to make that jump And it's going to be kind of hard when you're a world champion is also a baby face, so how do you position that? Now, if Gable ended up on Smackdown somehow, he's a perfect guy to go after Sammy Zane So you can move him up on the Smackdown side and make him into a main event guy, I just think in raw on raw, he's kind of caught in that weird area where like, unfortunately the 946 and Bloodline is going to keep the mid card in a mid card level for quite a while So like, where do you slot him in? Like, I just don't see a spot for him to jump up into world title contention given how heavy the top of that card is Now, Smackdown, he fits in, like, you can put him in the ring when we've seen it, like, you can put him in the ring with Cody, it's a competitive match, you can put him there with Sammy Zane, you can put him in there with Randy Orton, you can put him in with anyone as guys And it's a stronger, you know, it's a more believable match Him and the ring with Roman right now, I don't think anybody buys into that yet, so, but Penta made a strong case that it could work, but right now it just, it feels like it's kind of like, Bloodline 946, LA Knight, Vision, and then Seth, whenever he comes back, and then everybody else is held down under that cloud, so maybe a move to Smackdown might be the best route for Gable to get into world title picture
10:04 Otherwise, I think it's just have a really strong mid card division chasing the IC title, and that kind of makes it more prestigious if you do it that way Talking about movement upwards here, CM Punk has an insane 48 hours coming up and obviously will preface by saying Dr. Trey and I are recording this before Wednesday's AW Blood and Guts and the NXT Show on Wednesday night So we have no idea what has happened here with the CM Punk and the Grayson Waller match, but we've got Grayson Waller who retain the NXT Championship against Tony D'Angelo at Halloween Havoc After the match, CM Punk appeared in Challenge Waller for the title, Punk will wrestle in an NXT ring for the first time in more than 16 years when he faces Waller on Wednesday night, then just 48 hours later, Punk is scheduled to face Kevin Owens and Aena Holds bar match on Smackdown And Brooklyn, that was pre taped this past Monday, WWE was putting Punk at the center of two completely different brands at two completely different stories in the same week The Waller match gives NXT a genuine special attraction main event without need in long build, Punk winning would instantly change the NXT Championship picture, Punk losing creates an equally interesting question, how does WWE protect him before the Kevin Owens grudge match?
11:11 Owens and Punk does not need to championship the real-life history and obvious tension between them are enough, the No Holds barred stipulation give WWE permission to make Friday feel more like a fight, then a traditional main event So WWE is using CM Punk like a true attraction this week, one night chasing NXT Gold two nights later trying to settle one of his most personal grudges, Dr. Trey, I ask you this, should CM Punk actually win the NXT Championship from race and waller on Wednesday night? No, no, he really shouldn't, I mean on paper it sounds fun and it sounds exciting, but then where do you go with it? To me this is where KO gets involved in costs in the match, but it is telling because this one of the things where like you get a grace in waller victory over CM Punk, what does that do for Waller's career when he comes back to the main roster?
12:00 I mean that right there gives a backstory to put him into a few with Punk when he comes back up. It is to me it's telling that they're putting Punk all over the place, I was in a wall mart there day and half the action figures were CM Punk action figures, I'm like they might call Cody QB1 but Punk's moving the merchandise to them, so they're gonna put him anywhere they can and then it is kind of cool that Punk's in the main event on a Wednesday night competing on NXT while AEW's blood and guts is going on. We're gonna pull out all the stops to kind of tamp down this AEW run, so it's a very interesting booking style they're doing with getting Punk out there everywhere.
12:43 Yeah, absolutely, I mean you might as well take advantage of him because it's almost like a Renaissance at times with CM Punk, it seems like he's having a lot of fun in WWE right now which has been awesome in CM refreshing. But by the way real quick, you said it's first time in 16 years, I honestly don't remember him having a match in NXT. So he had a match in NXT, I think the 16 year mark is wrong math on my part because I remember he wrestled, I think he tagged with Seth Rollins which may have been a dark match. I would have to double check my my wrestling statistics here, he may have been wrestling on the NXT show that was like the reality show.
13:23 I think when he was with traded society but he did a match with, were tagged with Rollins against two people I believe and I think that was a dark match off the double check. Well, while you're moving on, I'll use my AI to look it up. >> Yeah, please do. Dr. Trey, I also ask you this, does wrestling waller two nights before Owens make Punk's weak feel special or unnecessarily overloaded? It's special because you're getting Punk at NXT. I mean, you remember like was it a couple years ago when he first came back we had that moment of CM Punk and Shawn Michaels in the ring where they literally both forgot their promos. But it made it compelling television. So to me it's a way to kind of further the SmackDown storyline and also make NXT special at the same time.
14:13 First of all, you're making NXT and AW fans choose which show they've got to watch, which is what you and I grew up on. Are we watching Nitro, are we watching Raw? And then now if they do an angle where not only is Punk in NXT but KO shows up in NXT to cost Punk that match leading into the SmackDown stuff, it makes both shows even more much watch. So I like the way if they play it out that way, I like that the way it's headed. >> All right, let's switch gears to AW because we've got Kyle Fletcher, gets Will Ospreay at Full Gear and is AW ready to pull the trigger here with Kyle Fletcher. So Kyle Fletcher defeated Jungle Jack Perry on Friday night dynamite immediately turned his attention to AW World Champion Will Ospreay.
14:56 A Fletcher declared that he believes he's the uncrown AW World Champion, Tony Khan then made Ospreay vs Fletcher official for Full Gear. Fletcher enters the match with history against Ospreay and the credibility to argue that this is more than another title defense. Ospreay's reign has survived John Moxley because it's Hokata and Clockwork Karnj. Fletcher feels different because the story is not simply about proving he belongs. It is about proving he can finally surpass Ospreay, AW spending a long time presenting Fletcher as a future talk guy. Full Gear is where the company has to decide how close that future really is. So if Ospreay wins cleanly AW needs a plan to keep Fletcher from feeling like he simply reached the ceiling. What else matters in all this? You've got Queen Abinata to feel and persephone to when the TBS Championship, her first AW Championship.
15:39 That win felt important because AW treated like a genuine breakthrough moment with the locker room coming out to celebrate afterwards. I love that old school stuff. So just throwing out there some really cool things that we've seen here that are similar potentially to a Kyle Fletcher and Will Ospreay match. So Ospreay vs Fletcher is not just another World title defense. It is a test of whether AW is ready to turn one of its biggest long term projects into a true main event star. Dr. Trey, I ask you this. Is Kyle Fletcher ready to become AW World Champion? Is he ready? Yes. Are they ready to pull the trigger? No. I mean it's full gear. This is kind of like when they had Kevin Knight and Kenny Omega just a few months back. Like it's still the little testing ground.
16:21 And honestly as much as we both love Kyle Fletcher and the AEW fans love watching Kyle Fletcher work, if you're going to put a guy on top of your show, he's got to be a draw. And I don't think Kyle Fletcher's at that level of being a draw yet. I think this is just more furthering the story so down the line when they're ready to pull the trigger. They have that whole can Kyle Fletcher be Will Ospreay for this title on the big stages. And we have some track record prior to the saying that he couldn't do it. So I think that's kind of the approach they're going to go with it first before they pull the trigger. But if it was a bigger pay-per-view, probably they might do it but not a full gear.
17:07 Yeah, no, it's going to be... I don't think this is like a penta Roman situation because I think Kyle Fletcher is proven he could be a top star. But I think this is a good test. And I think Ospreay's world title run, like he wants to give some love back to people that mean a lot to him. And Kyle Fletcher certainly is one of them. And I'm looking forward to this match at full gear. I love how we're getting back to Kyle Fletcher and Will Ospreay. Dr. Stray, if Ospreay retains what you and I believe he does, what does AW need to do next to keep Fletcher's momentum intact? I mean, keep doing what you've been doing. Get him out of the tag team. Now unless you're going to have one of those guys turn on the other. Because I can see this ring into Donkhaus family, United Empire, debacle, and Ospreay retains because of all the chaos. And that way it doesn't really hurt Fletcher that bad.
17:57 But you could lead into Kyle Fletcher then having attention with the Donkhaus family, splitting away, going off on his own. Because you do need another top baby face with Kenny Omega being out right now. So that's a possibility. Like K.E.W. is really good at kind of going, hey, we're going to run this guy as the hot hand and they can make him pretty hot really quickly because they're not doing, you know, three month programs with guys. It's usually like a 30 day window. So I mean, he beat Jack Perry and that got him a title shot. You know, it's not like he didn't beat hangman. He didn't beat Bobby Lashley. He didn't beat Jungle Boy and gets a title shot. So you can kind of springboard off anything and then take you into a hotspot to get a title match.
18:45 So just keep him near the top of the car. Keep him featured in storylines and he'll stay relevant. Yeah, no, I think that is essentially the 4-1-1 and the ability to keep that intact when it comes to Kyle Fletcher. All right, Dr. Trey, let's look at W.E. Crown Jewel preview and predictions this Saturday from Riyadh season stadium at KFD in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Crown Jewel streams this Saturday at 12 p.m. East 9 a.m. Pacific. Four matches have been currently announced as Dr. Trey and I record this. The card is built around two champion versus champion matches Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton finally suddenly refuted and last man standing and penting get penting getting another path towards championship gold. Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn enter the weekend with the most interesting dynamic of all. Roman is trying to prove he can win without family interference while Sami is increasingly relied on questionable tactics.
19:33 So let's look at the tag team match here. Bronn Breaker and Austin Theory defend the World Tag Team Championship against Penta and Javan Evans. Dr. Trey, I'm going to go with Penta and Javan Evans here before we break everything down. What say you? Yeah, I've kind of gone back and forth because I'm still wondering if we're going to get if when we're getting a cash in and like how great would be if Penta cashed in at Crown Jewel, but then he'd be a double champ. So that I think you have to get the tag belt off Bronn Breaker. So I'm going to go with you. I'm going to I'm going to go with Penta and Javan because I think Logan Paul's due back pretty soon. And then you go back to Paul and theory as your tag team and the bronze running rough shots. So I'll take Penta and Javan getting the win as well.
20:19 So we've got Penta, Javan already own a non title victory over the vision. Penta also carries the money bank briefcase, which means if even even if he loses the match, he could still impact the World Tag or picture later in the show. Breaker and Theory Winnie would further establish the vision as one of W's most protected acts. Dr. Trey, ask you a question about this match here. So do we give Penta and Javan the tag titles like we are predicting or keep Penta free to focus on the money that bank contract? I think they put the tag belt on Penta for right now kind of capitalize on his success of money, the bank kind of really solidify that, hey, this is a guy that can win a championship at any time. So it doesn't matter what matches in with his tag singles, mid card top of the card, it gives it more believability when he does cash in. But like I said, I still think at some point, you know, Logan Paul should be back pretty soon.
21:09 So you put the belts on Javan and Penta now to get the tag belt off of Braun Breaker so that you can use Braun Breaker to start challenging for the World title down the line. I missed this match before so or excuse me, I did not miss this match before it's one of our champion versus champion matches. We've got Chelsea Green and Liv Morgan, the WWE Women's Champion versus the Women's World Champion battling out in the Women's Crown Jewel Championship. Liv Morgan, Penta and Chelsea on the final major tune up before Crown Jewel, Tiffany Stratton already tried to cash in on Liv on Smackdown and was stopped by Recall Rod, Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. That means this match has two champions, one Crown Jewel prize and a money-the-bank threat hovering around it. Dr. Shred before we give our predictions, is Tiffany Stratton more interesting cash in and during Crown Jewel Chaos or waiting until after the Champion versus Champion match is settled?
21:58 I'm going to go waiting until after the Champion versus Champion match. I would love to see her cash in at Survivor Series if they do the Women's War Games match and then Tiffany does a cash in during war games. I think that would be pretty cool but yeah, I don't know how interesting this whole thing has been. I mean we've had four attempted cash ins on this already and she's only had the briefcase for a month. So to me, I'm like just hold off, wait till Survivor Series and do something there. Like, cashing in at Crown Jewel Saturday morning at like nine o'clock in the morning doesn't really scream like how amazing that moment is.
22:40 So like let her hold off until we get back on American soil. All right. So Dr. Trey, who do you like in this one? Chelsea Green or Liv Morgan? I'm taking Chelsea in this one because I'm still waiting to find out I don't know because is because I don't that they take the interim label off of Chelsea. They did. They did. They did it pretty quickly after Summer Slam because I don't think Ria's due back anytime soon for the rest of this year. It looks like. So yeah, so if you want to establish that, hey, both these people on the same level, this whole rivalry has been about how great Liv is and how Chelsea's not on her level. So Chelsea needs the win to kind of solidify herself as, you know, one of the top women in the company when it comes to, you know, being a wrestler.
23:22 So I think Chelsea needs the win. So I'll take her in plus I think Liv got the win last year at Crown Jewel. So I'll go with Chelsea getting it this year. Yeah, I'm going to go with Chelsea Green as well. And I think it comes due to interference with Tiffany Stratton pretending that she's going to be cashing in on Liv Morgan. So I think they're going to tease it, but they're not going to execute it. So both of us taking Chelsea Green in this one. Next match is Cody Rhodes versus Randy Orton in a last man standing match. Randy has spent weeks trying to pull Cody into a darker version of himself. Cody already responded by using Orton's own punt on Baron Corbin on Smackdown Cody promise that when this is over, he'll be the only man doing the punting. Last man standing gives WWE a stipulation where neither man needs to win with a normal pinfall and where the violence can finally match how personal the feud has become.
24:04 Before we give our predictions here, Dr. Trey, does Cody need to beat Randy decisively to end this chapter or is Orton more valuable winning because Cody finally loses control? Oh, both can be good. I know it's struggling the fence here. Both can be good. But if you're going to move Cody up to Sammy or Cody onto his next big feud, Cody needs a decisive win. He needs to put this rivalry to bed and move on because there's other people he can get into a good rivalry with. I mean, we got the Gunther Finn Balor, so should be ending up pretty soon. Gunther and Cody be fine. Cody going back after Sammy, Cody and KO again would be good.
24:49 So I'm going to go with Cody needs kind of a decisive win to kind of put this whole thing to bed. So let's get into predictions here. I'm going to take Cody Rhodes. I think Cody wins this one and this is the end of a very good few that has taken place in 2026. What say you, Dr. Trey? I'm taking Cody also because very seldom do baby faces lose, last man standing matches or less, you basically get a house dropped on you. That's pretty much about it. So I'm taking Cody getting the win as well. Both of us taking Cody Rhodes here and then that takes us to another crown jewel championship matches Roman Reigns and Sammy Zane go out of here the World Heavyweight Champion versus the Undisputed WWE Champion. Sammy has become increasingly desperate and arrogant as champion, including using a low blow and the WWE title to beat trick Williams on Smackdown.
25:35 Roman has repeatedly emphasized that the person makes a championship not the other way around, Raw ended with a 946 overwhelming the bloodline, Cruz Montana joining the group and Sammy delivering a haluvicick to Roman after the attack. Roman is trying to separate himself from the old bloodline version of himself while Sammy increasingly looks like the champion willing to do anything to stay on top. That role reversal makes this match much more interesting than simply revisiting their history. My questions to you here are Dr. Tray, as before we give our predictions is we've got the Sammy Zane need to beat Roman Reigns to validate this championship reign. I'm going to say yes because the first one was eight days.
26:15 This one, you know, it's good. Like it's been fun. It's entertaining. I think you said it last week. If not the most entertaining person to watch on television, he's top two. Like it, it's right there. And then Roman's been his bugaboo since the whole bloodline story started like Sammy's always been seeing like a notch below Roman. And the titles aren't on the line so you could have Sammy win and it doesn't really affect Roman's title run. So yeah, I think Sammy really does need to win over Roman. Just like Bronson Reed got it in Perth last year. Like we need that win to kind of solidify that this is the guy that's the top dog on Smackdown and elevates that title to be almost on equal footing as the one that Roman has.
27:04 And the last question I'll ask you is, if Sammy wins through questionable tactics, as Crowns will officially complete his turn into the kind of champion he once fought against. Yeah, I mean, I mean, you saw what the trick was match. You've seen it. I think his mind like he'll still justify his actions and still make it like I had to do it. But I don't know if he'll in that character is delusional. So in his mind, everything he's doing is for the right reasons, even though they're heinous acts. So I think that's where they're trending with just basically Sammy being delusional and being the champion that gets no respect.
27:46 So he has to kind of do anything he can to get the respect he feels he deserves. All right, Dr. Trail. Let's get into it now predictions. Who do you like? Roman Reigns or Sammy Zane to leave Saudi Arabia as the crown jewel champion? I'm going, Sammy. It's Saudi. He's the new one. So are you. No offense. No offense Montsor the much more talented Montsor. I'm just waiting for you to book a show in Saudi Arabia. So Montsor can be will us pray. I don't think that's how I'm taking this because I mean, you still have all these outside influences like I don't know if the 946 is going to show up in Saudi Arabia. I don't know if they're legally able to travel like that. So who knows, but to me, Sammy winning because of some kind of shenanigans, you know, he needs that win.
28:35 I mean, dear God, the only person that needs to win over Roman more than the same is K.O. Because K.O. thinks wrestled Roman like nine times and only being wants and that four way match when he first won the universal title. Yeah, which I think he'd been like big cast or yeah, no, Seth Rollins to win that one. I'm with you, Dr. Shraim. Take it. Sammy's a and I think the 946 gets involved and they want Sammy the leaf Saudi Arabia celebrating. I think it helps his character more to win and it helps Romans character more heading into survivor series war games with a loss of the 946 is the reason why it cost him this match. So both of us take it. Sammy's a and crown jewel is this Saturday. We obviously will not be recapping reviewing it on next week's show as we will be in special show mode looking at some of our favorite shows that we could watch over and over and over again all time on next week's edition of SRT is will be on vacation mode.

And then there was an eight man pros tag on that show as well. The only other time the closest thing to that was it says there was happen in FCW at a house show in Cassimia, Florida.
30:55 Punk made a guess appearance and Dean Ambrose challenged him on the spot. Wow. They went about 30 minutes, punk beat him, but put Ambrose over on the mic.
