This is the raw recap on WWE now at WWE in Fanatics, original production Did you hear that Maggan? I can't even believe it. Did just I can't believe it. It's May. Check the calendar. It's May. Brock Lesnar is back We get the Ova Femi open challenge And people said that well, what are they going to do? now Oa Femi open challenge. what what's possibly going to happen on the Oba Femi openp challenge? One week it's it's Oa Femi versus Otises Grundel. The next week, it's Obafemi dragging Los Garza to the ring and just beating them from pillar to post. What can we expect? And you know what I naively said Well, Gee Glly, I feel like a fool. I said, Gee Glly, you know what? I'd love to see a real competitive match W withith Oba Femi facing an opponent that we're not used to seeing him in there with. Gosh, I'd love to see just a just a one on one and No, here comes Brock Lesnar. Brock Lesnar just in the middle of the Oba Femi entrance when Oba Femi he's doing that post. There's still smoke in the air. Oh the smoke is in the air The shadowy presence of Opa's massive frame is filling the screen. We don't have to wait with anticipation to see who's going to answer this challenge. No because right between Opa's legs, you see another massive frame. entering the scene And it's Brock Lesnar Taking Oa out him immediately. F five, picking him up again. F five, picking him up again. F five, picking him up again F Five F F fives in a row. Nobody I saw this coming. No, this was just at the point. I listened to your radio show every single day on SiriusXX. real That's right, That's right. I watch the product, I support my friends. That's the kind of person that I am here. But I was getting so annoyed Cers callalling in every day pitching ideas for Brock Lesnar. said he's retired left He's retired. Why are you doing this? Stop talking about Brock Lesnar because he's retired. And we said it was so poetic Paul and you should have known. I mean, you should have known when Paul Heyman showed up on This guy always I'll tell you this tonight Paul Haym was in his bag Tonight was a Haman night. You know what some nights You know, I will tell you this. we were fools, Meghgan A couple of weeks ago we were talking about how he's looking for a meal ticket. Go back even further We said he lost FAFO. We did. We said he lost it We didn't know how long this game was. It was the third inning of FAFO. We thought we had already we thought it was final scores. Just baby That's one hundred percent what it was. Iest We're still in the FAFO And Paul Heayman won. Adam Pier has been pretty quiet about this game lately too. because he thought it was over. Yeah, and now he's losing. Can you imagine you didn't even know you're playing FAFO? That's how FO do you are Wow. Yeah That's That's a lot of math torap my bra. You F Oing to the extent that you don't even know the game is still being playing. That's how much FOing you're doing That's insane. I've never seen it done before. Leave it to Paul Haven. I'm not That's not a game I'm willing to play Paul Hayman ever ever I mean Brock Lesnar hasas this? unbelievably poetic. Send offff at WrestleMania of forty two when he leaves his boots in the ring. And the fans go from booing to cheering. Thank you, Brock I can't I mean, I just realizeed My nine year old son As much as he was booing Brock Lesnar, he cried when Brock left Wait til I don't even know how he's going to react when he sees Brock show up on Monday night raw Oh. My I mean, this is to the point you were there. I was having a conversation with another wrestling fan and we were talking about how Brock Lesnar's retirement was poetic and how we're so happy that we got to see Brock go out in that manner. Yeah, No, that wasn't how He's not going out like that He was Leo in Wolf of Wall Street. I'm not leaving I'm not leaving I mean, Brock Jordan Belf first first Bll. That's right. That's right. He's going to have to get new boots, Brock. He's going to have to get a new pair of boots. He's not using the ones. He's no he said those boots retired I'm not using those boots anymore. I've got some new boots. I've got different boots. I don't need those anymore. Those were unlucky boots because I'll tell you. There was something different. Here's the thing whole time that we were leading up to WrestleMania. and I swear, especially after Gunther came out on SmackDown and jumped Cody Rhodes. And Paul Hayman presented the contract to Cody Rhodes and said Gunther acquired my services to get this deal signed. That's how we ended up with what we have at cllash in Italy, which is Gunther versus Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship. and Gunther goes I got Paul Hayman to set this deal up was the favor and Paul Hayman goes, that was the favor. and now we're done. And so all the speculation of Guner being a Paul Heayman guy can die. And but all the speculation of favor looming also goes away. That's when it was really like, oh, this Brock Lesnar thing is over. There's nothing looming anymore But you didn't realize what was looming. No, I thought perhaps the favor could be Paul Hayman bringing Brock Lesnar back to have a match with Gunter you didn't that d. What none of us realized was the idea that What was leaving Brock loooming was the fact that he ain't going out. to opathemine like that And it was a different Brock on ro. The scenario was so differentiff in the sense that the whole buildup to WrestleMania H been Over gettingting the best of Brack, over gettingting the best of Brack, over gettingting the best of Brack at no point. buildup to WrestleMania Did Brock Lesnar get the best of Oba Femi? Not once. It didn't happen And then you got to WrestleMania Obafemi one thousand percent Brock Lesnar. Yes, he did to the point where Brock, you know, and I mean What a and you woered too Is this a scenario where In the moment, felt like he was retiring And then he went back and hunted a couple moose and said, you know what I'm not quite done yet. I got a couple more things to do and showed back up or did he know the whole time? because if he knew the whole time The level of performance that Brock Lesnar was playing at. I mean, that's Oscar worthy. Yes. what Brock did at WrestleMania. if he knew the whole time Brock was aware leaving Las Vegas that he be back on the eighteenth of May on Monday night raw or somewhere around then. If he knew he was coming back, Then you're talking to Daniel Day Lewis Okay because I believed everything Brock was doing. Brock got emotional. Brock was waving to the fans Brock Brock, I mean, almost had this look around like, man, you guys really do appreciate. But I think this is what Oba Femi does to people. He keeps you awake at night He wakes you up from a deep slumber. to the realization that just happened Not only did Rck Lesnar get beat at WrestleMania by Oba Femi, but the entire road to WrestleMania, Brock Lesnar. was outdone by Obber Femi I don't know. I think for most people Obera Femy puts them in a deep sleep and they stay in the deep sleep. Not Brock Lesnar. What else could get Brock Lesnar to come back in May Mem brro Oh Bemi. I would I would I would loveove to know because then I mean this this moment where not only Is it nothing like the build to WrestleMania Brock Lesnar like leaves Oa lane which is a scene that I was like, I didn't know. How much I wanted to see that until I saw it I didn't know how different it would be until I saw it where it was like, yeah Obafemi is a human being. Obaemi is not a superhero Brock Lesnar having that moment where he's sitting down as Oa is on his Look at the lights never having experienced what he just experienced and Brock Lesnner' just sitting next to him looking at him going, yeah, dude That's what I do. and that's what I've been doing for over twenty years. And he's walking up the rampps saying, I don't give enough. He's what he said and And that don't give enough. Now that we knew This is true That was well We've always known that about Brock Lesnar. He does not give an F. with Brock Lesnar. And then Adam Pierce is like losing his mind backstage looking for Paul Hayman, who's waiting for him in his office, of course he is And and Adam Pierce is talking about retirement he'd already filed retirement paperwork which I'm not one hundred percent sure what that even means. but so far O one night. Ea appears can't Fire anybody And he can't file retirement paperwork I fail to see to what degree Adam Pierce' actually holding any significant power. It seemed like on Smackdown, Nick Ald this had things pretty well in control. gettingting Gunther into the place that he needed Gunther to get to you know, dealing with what Royce Keys was up to. It seemed like Nick Ald this was able to kind of manipulate all the parts and get things to where they needed to be. Whereas Adam Pice notot in the same space. Well There was a win for Adam Pierce because he did have You know, the guy there ready to give Roman his title when he arrived at the building. That's how the night started. then it really did go downhill from there Yes, so you're saying for thirty seconds, it was wins. He did learn from his mistakes. Last week he got yelled at. He spent about thirty seconds grabbing dubs Yes. then after that, Al fever. Well, he didn't know that Brock was going to retire So' I assume getting these papers filed. What kind of papers I mean, I'm a retirement retiring. So you don't no idea what the process is, but I think you have to do this like well in advance If I start filing retirement paper? Yes. I see. Like I think maybe like a year In advance Why do you change your mind? Well, I guess we found out You know, I guess. You leave everyone in a tizzy.y yeah, you leave everybody Yeahah, a tizzy is what people are looking.ry had to pull some strings to file these papers late. And then now to unfile the papers. It shouldn't be this difficult to retire. I mean, I guess that's maybe that's why in pro wrestling people have been very unsuccessful in retirement You know what I mean? Be it's complicated paperwork. Yeah. And wrelers aren't known for paperwork, they're known for combat. Yes. So maybe that's part of it I mean, Paul Hayman just looking at Adam Pierce going, what He is retired. appars a second. What are you talking about? What He's retired. And then it appears just like, so what was that And and this is another one. So I turned on Mondayight at Rw tonight. I in no way, shape or form did I expect to see Brock Lesnar? No Me either. He was retired. I did see him in the open, right? But in the forever. I know. Not in the now. He really did get moved. Which is the moment that we should have known it was all a ruse that Paul Heyman, teary eyed as he was. was demanding that they move Brock Lesnar from the now over to the forever, demanding it And you're going like No I know why he was why he cared so much already concocting whatever this next plan was. because In order to get Adam Pierce off his back on the retirement thing, he gave Adam Piarce more paperwork But this paperwork. and even after we see Brock Lesnar, and I'm sitting there going We're back We're back Becauses let's keep in mind too What was the conversation going into Wrestleania? that this was not just hyperbole for many people This was the most anticipated match going into WrestleMania. And it was the match a lot of people were talking about most coming out of WrestleMania. hundred percent right. They looked at it as a dual moment, notot just Brock retiring, but even if he hadn't. what happened in the match and coming off the match. was in knowough, it's tell me it was a dual moment Match And so the idea of nights, I would argue. entire show, the entire weekend. If there was one match to run back. This would be it, now And so the idea, but I'm not I'm sitting there going like I don't even know. I'm trying to make heads or tails of the whole thing But we already know at this point It's Gunther versus Cody at Clash in Italy. At this point on Monday Night Raw, we can already presume that tribal combat actually we had seen the graphic by this point. So we know tribal combat is headed to clash in Italy And then Paul Hayman pulls out this contract. And he says it's already signed by Brock Lesnar. So again The one guy not caught off guard by any of this. Paul Heayman. who's got a contract that says Brock Lesnar's already signed this. It's just waiting for Obafemi's name clash in Italy Bro, if this contract gets signed and I find it difficult to believe that Oa is going to turn down this match. Oba who is offering an open challenge. Right. I would think that this closes the challenge. Like this is think so this is it. This is the one, right? Like it's like yeah, yeah I'll accept that Like The idea though Those three matches could all be a clash in Italy. That's insane. The card is read Riculous Nuts for cllash in Italy. And I mean like, especially because this is a different Brock Lesnar. This is not a Brock Lesnar who He's foaming at the mouth When when Ober walked into WrestleMania He was answering Brock Lesnar's open challenge. put him at this advantage because he became the hunter because he saw an opportunity and he was ready to take it. What's Brock Lesnar doing now? He's answering O Bfemi's open chall. So what does that make Brock Lesnar? He's the hunter. That's exactly right. And that's why that's why the dynamic has so quickly changed that you now see Brock Lesnar in this position where it's like, oh meat And guess what? He doesn't give an f I heard that from the show. But I also kind of knew it already. I assumed it was the case But I'm glad we got it confirmed. Yeah No, we did get it confirm. He said it. And four F fivees. Yeah, four F fiveives and FAFO And everybody's thatOing all at once This is nuts. Yeah. The card is nuts. The fact that Brock is back is nuts fact that Oba was laid out on her TV screens, think about that, Wh's bound raw for what Four or five months now Yeah, I mean, he was there. He's been here all all year. He's doing raw and Smackdown for a while, but he's been on the main roster All year, you know, he was in the Royal rumble, which is by the way the first time that he and Brock had any sort of interaction But yeah, he's been here all year. Never seen him laid out. No way. Not even close to laid out. No, no. laid out. Never. No. Where in NXT was ever laid out. There was never a situation where another human being could just sit up next to him laughing at the damage that they had done I mean within like that's the type of distance that like you can't walk near the swamps because a gator will jump out of the water and grab you. And you're imagine just just sitting right next to a gator G laughing at him, G look at what I just did to you, Gator. Not even Lana Del Ry's husband, that Gator Wrangler could get away with doing that. And that was overemi tonight The gator The gator. And who was the Wangler rock Lesnner. Yeah, he was heew was awareness wrranglers. I mean, this Brock Lesnar My God, what a moment Monday night Raw Insane. He's back, baby Brock is back dud This'ard I thought he was retired.ra. I thought he was retired. O of course, he's not retired. just keep him in the forever. Not A him to the now. No It because he is forever You know he's not going anywhere And by the way, that's that ye, and maybe that is the most perfect thing, right A lot of us, I think myself included probably said, you know The way you went out at WrestleMania is the perfect way for him to go out. This was the exact conversation. That was me. I was having with somebody on Thursday. one hundred percent. Yeah ye yeah. Yeahah, it was so perfect.. You know what the perfect way for Brock Lesnar to go out as a looming threat. When Brock Lesnar retires, we're all going to be sitting there going And we're never going to know Brock Lesnar is going to be buried in the ground And we're going to be sitting there one day way in the future And we're going to be sitting there going and shows up and just wrecks somebody. like Brock Lesnar, that's the legacy of Brock Lesnar. And you know what? That's exactly how I want to remember Brock Lesnar. Like we' always. Not as a guy who's like, you know what? He took his bow and he said goodbye. No, that's for everyone else. I don't w want to celebrate him. I want to always live in fear in fear In feair, not sadto, Tto miezo. Toto mizo Always Always scared. Yeah. Al scared. At any point, Rock Lesnar could show up. That's where we're at with Brock Lesnar just as we' Again, we were talking about Adam Pice being able to control the retirement of Brock Lesnar. He also, I guess since backacklash has been trying to fire Jacob Fatoo Hees, But Roman reign. I suggested a suspension. Right. Well yeah, you were super narky backlash if I recall correct. I think firing is even more narky than a suspension. I know the firing is like like Adam Pierce is the teacher and you're the student going like, o, I didn't think it was going to be that bad And it's like, yeah, if you hadn't said anything, you know what I mean This is my fault You should have done your homework It's really your fault But he's been wanting to fire him, you know, I guess Be he said tonight, I'm going to fire and put his hands on and Roman said, no Roman again, this is one of my favorite parts of this Uh executing power that he has talked about having. We're seeing it firsthand watching the show. When he arrives and he gives this title Adam Peerce has there. But the Roman is sitting the the reason Adam Pierce has not fired Jacob Fet too is because Roman says you can't yet. Yeah. and Roman had to sign off on Jacob arriving toWE. So of course, you'd have to sign off on him Lave starting. Right, right, right. I punch. I clock him in. I clock him out. That's the way this works. I'm the OTC, baby. I mean, I could and Adam Pierce going like, you know, I told you last week. I said, I d' know. And I'm glad Roman said that to him. What do you want credit for being right? You know, like, you know, if you just listen to me. Oh my God, this guy, no wonder he had the night that he had That's how he started it You want to gateway're out up here' catching a lot of strays from you. They're not stright. They're direct. They're direct. They're not strays because of the way he's acting. He's out of his mind. He's not having control of everything. and then when whenever any little thing goes what the way he said it would go, he goes like this. Well, you know, I did tell you It's a tough job. What is Being the general manager of Monday Night Raw. Nick Ald this seems to be doing okay and he doesn't come out, you know, needing a drink. He looks like a million bucks every week on SmackDown. He's got three hours to control Okay And he seems to be doing it just fine And he's got Dan Haousing to deal with. That is a lot to deal with. I mean, he's cloning himself. He's got superstars cloning themselves. He doesn't have brock Lesnner on retiring Whydam Pears didn't realize yet that. It's tough. It's tough. It's tough. I'm not saying it's easy, but it's the gig You know, I have to be able to say the gig's not getting done So he shows up, you know, and you're right, you're right The intern was there with Roman's championship. I do love too that Roman doesn't travel with it. Crazy. It's the only it's the only time it's ever happened. I know no other champion could get away with that. Right. Right, But they all say it You know, Oh, I got to bring it to the airport and then TSA wants to see it they want to take a picture and by Romans like You'll have this for me here. I have a guy Yeah, care of that. Where' the handler. Right. because it is true. It's like It's not like Roman needs to wear the title when he goes to public. You know what I mean? He doesn't need to carry it with himag. I do imagine he walks in though and everyone in public acknowledges For sure. For sure. Do you think that the music hits when the door opens? Boom, boom, boom, boom I hope so. I think so. I think I would hope I did And if not I would volunteer for that job I'm just following around with a little speaker J so everybody can know to acknowledge the tribal chief. I think people know. People do. But the music would help. Yeah No it would help. I mean, it just touch. It's aura Um, as Roman is talking to Adam Pierce about the fact that like you can't fire Jacob not yet because I'm going to go call him out Roman is saying I'm going to call him out And you hear in the distance. F T Mm h h And Roman is livid He's like, am I supposed to call this guy? He's already walking into the ring And Adam Piers is mad but also embarrassed because he's got the big ooose next to him. He's got the tribal chief next to him And he's got to answer for the fact that Jacob's already on his way out to the ring And so and I don't know, you know, who was manning that station, but clearly it started off Adam Pierce's night in a tough way Be Jacob Fatu now goes to the ring and he says that he'd like Roman Reigns to bring his punk ass out to the ring. rightight now. right now which is like You know, if you're the tribal chief, you don't want anybody talking about you being a punk ass. You don't want to say right now? But I do love when Jacob punk. I mean, yeah, because he means it. That's the coolest. It's the only Yeah, it's like there's never been a more authentic Use And what's Roming going to do?, maybe later. Right. He's got to go out there Well he should put out there though. like by the way, I was coming out anyway Like just so everybody knows, I was coming out regardless. I'm not coming out because he's calling me out You heard me back there. I was going to call him out So I am coming out, but I was doing it anyway. I said it first. I said it first. That's fair. The Usoss though, they came out. And Jimmy, who is trying to be the Coolerheads prevails guy. is trying to talk to Jacob, like, what are you doing? Yeah He's talking some sent to him. He was like you were He's attempting to you were him. You were supposed to acknowledge Roman reigns. This is how it goes. Right You said you would do anything to bring money your family. Right You're going to screw it all up, he said. And you're going to get fired. right you're going to rightite back where you are. And and and I just love the idea though Jimmy sitting there going like I'm going to talk some sense into And Jacob' was like What do you think this is? And Jay's pacing around Do I crash out Jay iss my favorite Jay? This is easily ready to explode. I mean a sty moment. is my favorite Jay I love this version of Jayu so I feel like it's the real Ju so, it's the most honest version of Ju. so like he's just not here for any of it anymore. And Jimmy'sust trying to keep All right, sorry. amongst everybody he's dealing with Jacob. He's dealing with Jay. He's trying to make sure Roman's cool And he's like, All right, guys We got a good thing here. Let's not blow it and all of a sudden Jay goes in for the attack. Jacob's right there to hit Jay. Jimmy's like all man, like my brothererss gotten me into another fight, which is I'm sure takes him right back to growing up Jay's got me into another fight Growing up or yesterday. Or yesterday. Yeah. I got to go I got to go get his back now and Jacob is able to take out B Uoss right there. It was one point that that that Jay hit Jacob in the back with a steel chair And it was just not thingin No, Tong in Death Grip takes J out to Here comes going right to the tong and Death Grip. Oh absolutely And I mean, and and Jay is just Here comes Roman And I love this because Jacob is acting like a total killer here. He's applying tongue and death grip after tongue and death grip and Roman comes out and just the stare of Roman reigns stops Jacob dead in his track because it's like this is it. This is again, this is this this is the battle that we're looking for. and even in like Tonight specifically, I noticed just looking at the difference in these two individuals The way Roman is just sitting there looking Like wealth, looking like a boss with the hair slick back, with the beard groomed with the nice everything, you know, looking like the champion and Jacob just looking like he's ready for a fight and Raman getting in the ring and I swear you should have heard me today onn the radio going like, you know what? I think tonight's gonna be the night for words I don't think's going to be physicality tonight. I said that What an idiot. I mean, talk about your all time light you up tomorrow. They should. they should I mean, they know better. I'll just I was somehow twisted around onem. But I would deserve it if that were hey, I was listening to you last week. you're like, I don't even remember the last time I was wrong. Right? Well guess what I won't remember tomorrow either.. We're gonna keep moving on. I how that works. Yeah, isn't it great Prove me wrong So It wasn't words. It was physicality And Romans's going after Jacob But once again He goes for that Superman punch. And boom, Jacob catches him. Tongen Death grip takes Roman out, but before Roman can go all the way out, the Uos are back in. Speers, super kick. Spears, super kick They end up getting Jacob down. They end up hitting Jacob with that one D Tie Jacob up in the ropes Superman punch. Superman punch. The three of them start beating him down. It's ye, you're right It's super kick, It's super kick, it'superman punch, It'superman P punch. And then just when when when Jacob can't take anymore, they finally and again, we were talking last week about this guy being an animal. They have to tie him up to do this to her And then they finally untie him and put him right in the position so that Roman can spear him and take him out. Oa. which by the way Acknowledge my tribal chief. He didn't do it by himself See, I was going to ask you that because you are one who Always Defends Roman reigns defends his schedule Defend everything that Roman Reigns does and I was going to bring forward I'm an honorary Uuse. You are That's official Well, W from Roman from Jacob, you're an honorarius bladline You can tell Jacob he's wrong? No. especially right now. No no. Absolutely That not the time. But I was going to bring forward to you the haters would criticize Roman Reigns for not being able to do it by himself. Rom Marines could not take out Jac Fetube I himself. the haters are right. No, the haters would tell you Roman Reigns cannot do it by himself, pereriod. meaning do the thing regardless of opponent. I'm saying with Jacob Fetu tonight He could not do it by himself. in the past He has not been able to do it by himself. att backlash, he beat Jacob I mean, there was an exposed turnbuckle. there was, you know, a referee in bad positioning But He beat him without interference. sureure. But tonight. Roman could not get that done by himself Not tonight which makes you wonder what's going to happen. when it's The two of them again. and as tribal combat I mean, when they're leaving. And first of all, I also here's listen Roman first not doing it alone. I went, Mm And then Roman after the beatdown that he didn't do by himself telling Adam Pierce, you can fire and do whatever you want Hm H I don't know about that I don't w want to question my tribal chief too much, but sounds like you might be I don't know about that You sure about that ure Are you sure about that? That's when we hear the gasps from the ring. Roman Roming Tribal Combat. And that's where the honor is returned to our tribal chief That's where the honor is returned to Roman Reigns because he puts his hand down over Adam Pierce's microphone Butich again. Do you think Adam Pierce was going to fire him Yeah That's what Adam Pierce is well, that's what his expressed intent was. I think he wanted to. Rom was like that. And he put his hand over his microphone. I accept I accept and Anam Pierce is like, all right, well I guess that's that then. I guess I guess where're they're the ones making the decisions then And we get it Tbal combat And like I said, there's been there's been two other tribal combats ever before. J Uo and Solo. I think those were the two. Yeah, which Roman obviously won But we get it at Clash in Italy Tribal combat Jacob Fetu Roman reigns world heavyweight championship and this is one of those where it's like You know really strikes me as being difficult to have any questions coming off of this match. Now that it's official and now that that's the stipulation It feels as though like this is kind of the Answer the questions and be done with it match, meaning Jacob either wins the championship and Roman has to sit there and go like, yeah, I lost the championship that quickly or Jacob doesn't win the championship and just goes, Yeahah, I'm not getting what Roman has And has to acknowledge Roman reigns. Maybe I do. maybe I do have to acknowledge him. That's a choice that I could see Jacob not wanting to do that That's a choice that Jacob would have to make. Either Jacob acknowledges Roman or Jacob Maybe he has to go off and do his own thing for a while You know But I think it's one of those things where it's like one or the other here You know what I mean? It's not sort of a I mean, if he doesn't acknowledge him and he keeps acting in the manner that he's currently been acting Jacob's job could no longer exist I would love I would love to see Adam Pierce actually pull the trigger and see what happens to Adam Pierce Give a guy like Jacob Fetu nothing to lose and see what happens I mean, Jimmy Usa tried to lay it out for him too. I know he did, and look what happened How'd that work out for Jimmy Not great. pooorly, I would say I go so far as to say poorly But at the same time, I was talking about Roman having help from other people Tribal combat's gonna allow a lot to go down Oh. That is true So we'll see what happens, man. you know, before we get back to raw I We gotta talk about the main event that's happening in your own home. Of course. you know. I mean, life is basically WrestleMania every single day. Every day. You know, a high stakes gauntlet where the responsibilities, they just keep coming and coming. It feels like you're constantly making trade offffs between the things you have to do, and the things you actually love. That's why we're celebrating these moments with where you refuse to tap out, you know It's time for the minute made juice break where we highlight those everyday wins that deserve a massive pop. Do you want tona go first? No You usually go first, but you often complain about it, so I thought I'd ask. No, it says I'm supposed to go first. Okay. I don't know why this You can go first I mean, I will tell you, this was kind of a This was kind of this was Significant, I would say. Okay. Okaykay. this was just yesterday You know, was Sunday.

I'll tell you what We got a big show coming up on Saturday. Saturday night's main event. Massive. And part of Saturday night's main event is, of course Our intercontinental Championship match Penta will be defending the title against all ego. Ethan Page. who was interviewed briefly by Michael Cole on Monday night Raw, but after that conversation, Mike Well, that's why he called them. You and I got the chance to have All ego Ethan Page. here and the raw recap We welcome to the raw recap, the one and the only All ego, Ethan Paage. Ethan, how are you, man I'm okay Why only okay I've already done this today And I actually got to select my questions. I was given enough time to prepare not only myself But the interviewer, or whatever interviewer, just like you guys. So this is very last minute I feel I'm prepared Go on, I'm a professional Well, I mean, I appreciate you giving us the time and I Yeah. and I do well, I do. I think Meghgan does greatly greatly appreciate it. Yeahes. Yeah. Yeah. and your jawline looks fantastic Okay I see you watch the show So what is He's right. I do. Yeah Well, I guess we'll start here. What is the difference? You made this clarification tonight. that it's not about ego, it's about confidence. What is The difference between ego and confidence from your perspective Look I mean, the phrase all ego very marketable and you can understand exactly what I'm about the second you hear it I mean, that's kind of how I operate. I'm very meticulous with everything and deliberate with everything. But if you're gonna insult me by using the word ego in a descriptive way to belittle me Yeah, I'm gonna definitely lock in and explain to you that this is not ego. this is not because of a Insecurity It's not a knee jerk reaction coming from somebody who doesn't believe in themselves. No, I believe wholeheartedly withith every ounce of me I have been documented saying that I already believe that I am good enough to be the World heavyweight champion I have chosen to go after the Intercontinental Championship out of respect to its lineage and what it represents in the history of this company. took me over, I don't know twenty years to get to Money Night Rw. Ab Oh, you know what? nineteen twenty years. This is very important to me I'm not doing this in my early twenties that I can you know, flub up or get arrested or fired? No Thty six years old This is it Intercontinental championship And then off to the races likeike every Great before me I was insulted by Michael Cole I understand I get it. And I mean, you're right for as long as as you've been in the wrestling industry And as long as you've been working to get to the spot that you're in, it is goodood to hear the reverence that you have for the intercontinental Championship and the kind of awareness. is that something that you know, going over the last two decades that you thought about. I mean For me as a fan The Incontinental title is something that is so associated not only with WWE and with people who have made a claim in WWE history I mean, that list of champions, those are the best Wrestlers to have wrestled in WWE is that is that how you see this title Yeah, and then they always end up becoming the best worldor champion whether it be WCW Or WWE These are all greats. These are all fantastic greats that end up having long historic lineages in this company. Wherever people came from They all ended up here And they all ended up with the intertercontinental Championship as the launching pad It's factual And I don't think Penta even understands what he's holding I mean, I don't know. You know, I would have to ask Pent to that question, but Pent is another person like you. I mean, Pent next time. Don't bother me. You can ask him whatever want. I'm sure he won't take the time to prepare questions like I did for Michael I didn't mean that to be insulting. All I meant was that When you talk about your story of how long it took you to get to Monday Night Raw Penta has been on a roll here for a year in change, but Penta took a similar role. Penta also was involved was was it was wrestling everywhere for you know, fifteen years before he got to WWE and before he got to Monday night Raw Do you see theream Why don't I don't know, I don't have the exact The exact numbers Inf goodood luck comparing when you don't know the details. Oh, okay. That's tough. just yeah No, that's good. What did you watched an Instagram video and all of a sudden, you're expert. No, I'm not I've tracked both of your careers. I'm a fan of everything that you guys have done, but I think there are similarities in the road that you took and Penta is a unique opponent in the sense that most people that you'd be paired up with or at least a lot of people maybe they didn't have to fight as much as you had to fight to get to the spot that you're in in WWE But Penta did I guess You know't hate why he's a unique opponent None of us know who he is. And he's out here living his life giving terrible advice to impressionable people telling them Zero Miero I don't know if you speak Spanish, either of you. I don't know much about either of you. But that means zero fear. Pre pretty acidide Imagine living your life with zero fear A stupid I send my kids out. every single day with a worry Be careful He on a swivel. That's how you survive Panther seending all the youth The WWE fans, what we call this? the WWE universe. Yeah. Well, the WW universe gets terrible advice from someone who hides our identity and doesn't stand behind what he says Now you guys don't like what I say Most people don't I'm okay with it. I've learned to be okay with that But I do it with my face My identity And I own it all. with a smile And he paints his, hides his and gets away with murder He's not wrong No Un unique opponent though That's a good way to put it People say I have propaganda and I know how to spin things. and yet, look at the WWE Look what they're doing for Penta Ethan when you arrived on Monday night Raw You know, you illustrated earlier in this conversation how it's taken you almost twenty years to get here to Monday night, R, Was this intercontinental championship going after it? Is this just step one in Ethan Page making an impact on the main roster I mean, I'm here for everything All of it Everyone. that you think I can't beat I will beat Every championship you think I won't hold, I will hold Actually Not even what I want. Whatate everyone else wants I will have That's just been the story of my life I said it to Mike today in his interview Some people are just born under the stars Clearly I was. I mean, must be nice., my father's been telling me that since the day I was born. And I believed that I truly was born under the stars hand selected I don't understand where you like the lineage that you come from, where where you go on one end, you say that you were raised to believe that you were born under the stars, but then the generation under you, you make them leave the house with their head on a swivel in a worry Yeah, not everyone is a me It's also interesting because youll no no, I have a question. I have a question. I have a question I was sorry. Yeah What makes me special if everyone is the same Nothing would if that were the case, if everyone were the same, there nothing would make you special Yeah, so what you want me to just start passing out secrets to everyone. My children included. How many families have you seen fall apart in the end? H I might be raising my enemies It's actually quite I don't know if it's smarter or paranoid, but I will say, I will say That something that that I was I was thinking about on you know, watching the way you've done business just over the last sevenal. way Can we pause? Yes. I feel very bad. She had a question. she wanted to ask interrupted her. You barely let her speak. It's more your show hers please. let her dude. come on. Thank you. I appreciate that. But I was just I was just going to say how You know, I find it interesting that you come on here and you talk about this great respect that you have for the Intercontinental Championship and all of the greats who have held the Intercontinental Championship yet in your instructions to Mike as you call him. I call him Michael Cole. You said that you wanted to rename I to climb the political ladder here. I couldn't give a crap about anybody in this company Wow But you said you wanted to rename the title the Ethan Page Championship afterfter having all this respect An, first of all, let me correct you by saying I don't respect the wrestlers. Okay. Okay. So you said I have all this respect in the world for all these greats before me. No, that's not true. I respect what the championship did for them I'm going do it better I am going to take the intercontinental Championship to places it's never been before I've been to a lot of places No one has it's been across a it's been inter through multiple continents starting in Rio, coming back, you know, all over the place, but Bye What I've noticed about you, Ethan, and you talked about the meticulous way that you've been going' a lot Wait, that's our job. We're analysts You know, we kind of notice everything so we can analyze it Um that There have been over the last few months a lot of talent call ups from NXT and a lot of fresh faces on the main roster and There is a lot of discussion. about where they came from. There's a lot of discussion about the fact that they were that they're from NXT. a lot of discussion about the type of impact that they're making on the main roster, But for you, It feels like almost instantly. You left all of that behind for you You have done an incredible job actually, of immediately pushing a narrative forward where when Ethan Page comes So look, look, look, this is the thing. This did not start when I debuted on Monday Night Rock. I have disagreed with this egregious phrase of call up or gettinget called up, or my least favorite phrase The main roster When I was in NXT, that was the brand that I worked for. That was the jersey that I wore The team that I had to play for Well, I've just been traded. When I wore the NXT jersey Still the best player on the field. I just wear a different jersey now I've been dangerous in NXT. I will be dangerous on Mondayay Rw And if for some reason They want to strike a deal and send me to SmackDown so I could take the belt from Cody That sounds great too I said it And I'm going to do it I want it all And I won it all when I was in NXT And it hasn't changed. I said this when I was there and I'm so happy that I can say it while I'm actually in the seat that I knew I would take. There is no main roster Wherever you put Ethan Page, it is the Best show in the WWE You know, Meghgan and I interviewed Penta in this room and when he was in this room, he pointed to the wall where there's a replica of the WWE Championship hanging Penta said that he was coming for it all. Penta said that he was coming to be the world Champion. Pentha said, I mean maybe you know, not quite as combative in tone But he said similar things to you about coming for all of it Yeah with him entering this match with a very similar mindset to you happens if you lose to Pent at Saturday night's main event Well, here's the thing Penta looked at a replica championship and said he wants that. Well, you can go to shopwb d. com and get that I looked at Penta in his stupid painted up face and said I'm coming for your Intercontinental Championship. Very specific. I don't plan on buying one Using my employee discount? No, thank you I'll be taking Pentus Championship. The Intercontinental championship, not a replica Yeah, we're much different that's accurate. I guess that's accurate. Well, Ethan Congratulations on the opportunity that awaits you at Saturday Night's Main event. Congratulations on your suuccess thus far on Monday night Raw and the fact that it does seem that everything is going according to plan. What? I mean It also feels like before we let you go, you have dwn Yeah, but then I remembember that I wanted I've again, noticed that you know. you want more from Ethan Page, justust a little more A little more You noticed again. Well, it feels I didn't mean to keep anybody waiting. It feels like You've brought out a little bit of a softer side in Rusv. It feels like you and Rusv kind of getting along in a way that even Rusev didnid't intend. Is this a legitimate friendship that we're seeing building or is this manipulation Okay well, bl bl This is offensive that you would bring up relationship issues on a public forum like this Would you like me to ask you about your family? Howouse things at home For me, I mean, everything's fine. Every You know what? Let me give you my thought process here, okay? What's the phrase? The enemy of my enemy is my friend That's how ites Yeah Okay, well everyone in this building is an enemy So when they're in the room with me They're my friend I mean, it's it's sound logic. Ethan Page All ego Thank you so much for the clarification today. Good luck on Saturday night We can't wait to speak to you again here on WWE now I wish the feeling was mutual and I'm very happy that we are wrapping this up Thank you very. goodood luck on Saturday. You're so very welcome, bothoth of you And you should let her speak more Sam. Thank you, gentlemen, please stopping her, but I appreciate that very much. Thank you for the advice. it's coming off. Okay This wonder let you know. Pfessional careers D you beenase are we done? Okay, they're wrapping me up here. I wanted to give you a little more time. I'm a very nice guy, but I'm done. Thankk you. so see you later Thank you to Ethan Page I was not attempting to stop you from speaking. I would hope that you I thought he made some really good points. Okay good good. But by the way, also every time you asked a question, he gave you a hard time That was tough. Yeah. But he also was looking out for me. I appreciate that D you feel like there were questions that you need to address that weren't addressed? No, did, you did cover that Okay, and I thought you covered them as well. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Okaykay He's a tricky one there. He is tricky, you know, And just when you think he's in your good graces, he decides to turn it around and go in a different direction. You know, it might have been easier if he gave us the list of questions like he did for Mike It seemed like it was going well When he gave Mike The list of questions before the interview That's true U but I I actually have a question for you Do you believe in Joe Henry Who doesn't, you know I do. And now you can not only believe in Joe Hendry, you can grab two new authentic Joe Hendry Tes at WWE shhop and Fanatics. sayay his name and pick up your new merch today also You've heard about this guy. He's easy to find, but he's hard to beat. Cody Rhodes has a brand new collection available now at WWE shop and fanatics, you can grab yours now and feel The adrenaline in your soul. I love Cody Stripping down to basics the black and white I like what we're seeing from him I like what we're seeing from him. and I think it's going into clash in Italy. It's going to be a big, big deal. But speaking of big, big deals, Seth Rollins shows up on Monday night Raw tonight and says that he's issuing a challenge to a member of the vision. and he wants it to be Bom break Now Paul Heayman steps in front of that and points out to Bron Breaker, donon't you understand You now know where Seth Rollins is going to be, you know when he's going to be there You don't need to take this challenge. Why don't you just call the play on that one? That's right. And he puts it in Austin Theoryies court So we get Seth Rollins versus Austin theory. to end Monday Night Raw. Big, big main event Austin Theory looked at it as an opportunity. I think it was a pretty big opportunity. Massive. For Austin Theory to main event Monday Night Raw with one of the best in the game right now. But you know, I mean, the thing u goes haywire Seth Rollins wins the match. Don't let any of the hoopla the match allow you That's a very important indication because if you just caught the last two minutes of raw, you wouldn't know. No, Seth Rollins won that match. Okay And then Dawkins comes out because Seth Rollins is getting attacked by the vision by Austin Theory and Logan Paul and obviously the street profits have their problems that they're going to try to settle That's Saturday night's main event U But Dawkins is now outnumbered because Seth was already taken out Dawkins is now outnumbered two to one. and so Montes Ford comes out and you can read it all over his face He is not happy to be out here helping Seth Rom. He is like, dude to Dawkins, dude, I told you problems follow this guy. That's right. And he's annoyed even when he's in the ring and like literally moments after he's saying it Here comes Bron Breaker out there. and what does he do He spears him. Yeah, he spears Monz and Monte in shwins out of the way. Right trying to save dogs but that's exactly like last week It was Seth Rollins getting out of the way, Dawkins got speared this week. It's Dawkins getting out of the way, Monz gets speared. But listen, everything that Montz Ford says about Seth Rollins and problems following him. He's not wrong. No, he's not. I don't know how he ends up in these positions over and over again He's been the one Like, you could want to be a good person all you want. You can want to make alliances all you want But like Those instincts that Monz has that says from the beginning, I don't care what this guy says. I don't care what this guy does. We know what this leads to You know, it's one of those like in my life, if I don't want step four to happen do step one or two or three. I stop at step one to avoid step four. I don't wait till step three and I'm in too deep. Don't even get close to it. This is what M Mantz is trying to set up some healthy boundaries for himself and for Dawkins. And he's the only one that's willing to listen to these boundaries Seth is going like, no, it's all good now. I Well there's quite the temptation, right? Like Seth Rollins isania main eventor. He's the superstar who never lost the worldorld Heavyweight Championship. He's a good one to have on your side. Exactly But Tes goes, nope. And I respect that for Montes. hundred percent. Where he's like, no, no, no, first of all, I have to look at the whole picture. Right. I have enough Just read me the credentials. Right. need to look at the entire picture. What's the context around all of it I've got I've got enough faith in myself that I can do it with what got me here. And the context is that trouble seems to follow this guy. That's right He knew Seth Rollins was trouble when Seth walked in they say Tz is like, look Is that what they say? Or that what Taylor Swift said? Womebody said it, I don't remember who it was, but go. z is away from WWE for months. returned the raw Dermania. he just wants to get Tag team championship. He told Seth. Now he's dragged into all this Seth Rollins business. I don't know. I mean, look, there's a lot of business going on the same way. and I get why people have this opinion about Seth Rollins But LA. Night sticking his nose into Seth Rollins' business earlier in the night LA night just walking up to Seth Rollins and going like Hey You know, you're going to need help and it's not going to be me. And it's almost like de. Yeah, cool We didn't even have to have this conversation And this is right after LA Kight had done a similar thing Jay and Jimy you so where Jay and Jimmy like we have our own problems, dude We don't need this right now. Like I don't know why LA Kight decided in the middle of this. He's going to sit there And like rub it in. LA night's like, hey, man, looks like you need help. I'm not going to do it. So in the words of Nick Saban, quit asking. That's right. Yeah, you wonder, you wonder what White LA Kight's motivation is for all of this You know what I mean? I don't think it's just to walk up to people and start trouble for no reason I think there's a there's a grander plan in all of this. I just don't know what it is. I'm not sure either. Yeah. Yeah Because then When Braon Breakers out there, he goes after Seth Rollins and once again Seth can say whatever he wants, whether it is in in the segments leading to backlash, whether it was the backlash match itself. whether it was tonight Something happens when Seth Rollins and Braonbreaker are in the same vicinity Seth Rollins ends up on his back and Braonbreaker leaves on his feet And it's one of those things where it's like, if you're Seth Rollins, you either need to figure out a different game plan orr you need to figure out somebody else to attack because this ain't working Because once again, we end Monday Night Raw with the vision walking out on each member's own two feet Paul Heayman behind them. I mean, on great cloud nine. What a night for Paul Hay. Got to be feeling good. He's gonna sleep like a baby tonight. Now yeah, he is And Seth on the ground again Do you think that that Seth has to completely Rrategize Or do you think it's just a matter of, no, I'm going to get them alone and when I get them alone, it's gonna to be arest. Completely restrategized. Wow He's not going to get them alone No that's I mean by design. and it's Seth's design by the way. If anybody should know this it's Seth But he's letting that like lust for revenge, I think, take over everything I mean,yan knew it right away. He was like, look I know you want breaker Guess what Getting breaker in the match. rightight But you'll get them later. You' be there hand You know I hope that speaking of places where Brawnbreaker will be Fanatics Fest is one of those places, you know, The number one sports fan festival is what I'm talking about Fanatics Fest. It returns to the Javit Center in New York City from july sixteenth through the nineteenth, twenty twenty six, of course. It's a must attend event for WWE fans.

I thought we'd never get here Wow, Soluka was talking about her what her experience has been since getting to Monday Night Raw and having matches with Liv Morgan and having matches with Yo Sky And then once again She's interrupted by the one and only Becky Lych. Well, Sooul was back there. Goating a bit I mean gloating I mean, she hasn't won anything and she was backstage talking to Byron as if she She has. No, you're right, you're right for for a WWE superstar. to be feeling positive and high on themselves. That is totally unfounded. After going Owen to. That's yeah, ye, two lost. Yeah you come up to Monday night Rw with all of these expectations. Right, right. Huge spotlight. right Coming off of John Cena's last match. right And you just And she lost at John Cena's last match or won Well, she won there. Oh, but she wasn't officially a raw superstar then. So then she comes to Rwn immediately. justust drops to Owen two. Two losses, ye And Becky Lynch What is she a three time intercontinental champion? And the greatest female wrestler of all time Not just me.. No, I know I know. By the way, they publish a new list. she wasn't at the top of it. but u If you are a two a three time intercontinental champion. How many times have you lost the title? How many losses would that be total too get it three times. How many losses would that be That's just simple math. You're a graduate. You you went into a great college I mean, that I start on Wikipedia That would mean you You've lost it At least twice. Two losses. Okaykay, two you're saying Becky w. But she's had a lot more wins too. How many has Soul had's been on the main roster? How many She's been on the main roster for a few weeks. How many wins? Iike two three weeks. How many wins None None so far, but she's got a big man So far. But you know what? How about this? How about this? you I mean going full boomer last week talking about kids these days She hears Becky Lynch and goes oh, okay, yeah, I'll take care of it and just leaves instantly goes right to the ring immmediately calls out Becky Lynch You have to respect that move I mean, it's one thing like To be so passive aggressive, she had Becky Lynch face to face backstage. She could have just handled her business there. Right? Who wants to do in front of an audience? What does she think she is a WWE superstar on Monday night Raw? gone Anyways, rightight. Right. Who wants to do it? I mean Especially like there's a whole arena they're called a ticket buying public But she can do it where the trucks are Why wouldn't she do it there This Soul Rua. She's got something coming for her on Saturday. I'll tell you that. Ill bet. It was odd too, right? becausecause not only soul challenge Becky right away said I'll do it tonight They said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no makes the match official for Saturday night's main event However B and Becky, I did like this line She said she's not only a star maker, she's a starbreaker I did like that. That's a cool line It's true which star says she broken AJ Lee was so traumatized. she had to leave the business. That's why she left the business That's what Becky said tonight. That is a starbreaker then U Becky though said she will not defend the interterconinidentationalal title at Saturday n's event. That's what she What is Soul done to earn an intercontinental Championship match Yeah, Okaykay if she she got really close against her first two opponents on Rw. So now suddenly you're getting a championship match. Who were her first two opponents? Well was liiv Morgan and And Io Sky What did you said before about Eo Sky in ts? She's the best wrestler on the planet. Okay if you beat the best wrestler on the planet, then you earn an intercontinental championship opportunity really close Wst on the planet. But you get really close. now suddenly we're just handing out championship opportunities. the end to Becky's point, this generation, you have to work to earn these opportunities. The fact that she's getting in the ring with the greatest female wrestler of all time. Is the opportunity in and of itself. O course. I see What what if she beats Becky at Saturday nightsain event Well then maybe we can talk about championship m. Will you talk about it? Maybe. If she beats herbe If she beats him, you think she will Okay. Absolutely not. Well let's take a look at the Saturday night's main event card. Let's take a look and what we can expect to see this Saturday Saturdayight's main event. It's a big, big card, of course We are going to have Becky Lynch versus Sluka. One on one. And I think that big dubs forbecks. I don't know if it's going to be big dubs for Bes. This is this is Soluka's first opportunity on an event like Saturday night's main event, The last time she was on Saturdayight's main event was Johnson his last match And she beat a member of the original F horsewomen Now she's back on Saturday night's main event What was they group. Becky Lynch used to be a part of the original four For a horse womoming. Oh interesting.idn't she be Bailey Becky? No. Oh Ra. Yeah. She defeated Bailey. and we know how Becky feels about Bailey, come on There a reason that Becky took Baile out. Be Wle media. Becky feels it. Okaykay, no, okay. fine. All right, well we'll see. Beacky is impressed by the fact that's whole Ruka be Bailey I would I would hope she is impressed. I don't think is. Okay. well I think she should be impressed, quite frank. I was impressed I think that Becky should be impressed. I mean I was impressed too, because I respect the fourour horse womomen. I respect Bailey. But Becky, Becky's not impressed. Okay, well, she probably should get impressed because it might be it might be tough for her might be tough. might be tough for Becky Lynch U, We'll see We'll see if Sauka's got the juice in the words of minute M madeate. We'll see if she can get if she can get the job done U alsoso Saturday night's main event Tag team Championship onn the line. We saw a taste of this at the end of a Monday night Raw. when the vision was confronted not only by Seth Rollins, but by Mz Ford and Angelo Dawkins to, the street profits goo for that tag team championship. This is what they have been looking for fromom the very beginning Um I gott to tell you, based on tonight It feels like the vision ' running at a level that I don't know if we've seen since mayaybe right after Seth Rollins got beaten out of the group Yeah, Logan Paul wasn't even in the visionet No that's neither was. Nither was Aust in theory. Yeah. but for a long time. version of the Vinish The vision, this is For a long time, we said they weren't on the same page And now look Look at where they are. L at where they ended Monday Night Rw tonight. Everybody on the same page It could be very difficult for the street profits veryery difficult for the street profets who also are trying to figure out at this point who their friends are and who their friends aren't U We've got a business to get involved in That's one hundred percent right? Yeah The Intercontinental Championship is on the line at Saturday night'sain event. All ego Ethan Page goes for the title against Penta and you know, Ethan Page made a lot of good points tonight on this podcast, but I mean, I will say I felt like I did a pretty good job making my own points that that is as hard as Ethan Page has worked to get to the spot that he's in Pent has had a very similar journey. He has. Pent is one of these guys that was wrestling for years and years in every organization you can possibly imagine. Just about every organization that Ethan Page has been a part of Penta has also been a part of. Every bit of the motivation that Ethan Page talks about having, Penta also has You know, so Feing like a rude awakening for Ethan Page Yeah, especially Penta I mean operating on this level since WrestleMania Going into WrestleMania And yeah, getting a taste of gold and now going like, no, no'ungry for the rain. This is going nowhere. nowhere. We'll see. We'll see. It'll be a huge moment for Ethan Page. And then of course our women's trios match, women's three on three You got Oh oh yeah, of course and before we get to the three on three, the womomen's Tag team Championship Yes as well. Hit me with that women's Tag team Championship. We can go to the women's three on three after. Paiage and Bribella. who have been defending these championships like crazy. We saw them in action on SmackDown. We saw them in action tonight getting past the Judgment Day. Now they're facing the irresistible forces at Saturday night's main event I Paige M Brie, who did not have much tagging experience before this have been thrown together together. Yeah, of course, of course, have been thrown really into this lion's Den into this like most competitive that the womomen's Tag division has ever been. by a mile. by a mile. And now you've got the irresistible forces Lash leegend, Nya Jackax who have had a chance. They were never pinned and they've had those titles They want those titles back. They were identified by those titles for a long time. I mean, I could see them getting it but there's there's a lot of tag teams out there, right? This is this is this is I'm going have my eye on this one. Me too. You know. The athleticism of Last Legend and Nia Jackax and just the things that they can do in the ring. Yeah. Combine that with the hunger. But then at the same time Paage And Bbella feel like they're It's crazy is it It sounds To me It seems like they have something to prove. They do have something to prove because this is a completely different division than the one that either of them had competed him before. It just sounds crazy to be like, Ohh, Bri Bella's got something to prorove when she's a Hall of Fer. And Paagege revolutionized the entire industry, But the fact is that once you revolutionize the industry, the industry shifts with what you created. and now it's time to find out if you can hang in the space that you created. And I think that that's what this match and a lot of the match is that Paiage and Bribell have had are all about And then of course, the match I was talking about before the u S women's tag match that was announced on Smackdown I mean, it talkking about a legendary team. This is so crazy to see Charlotte Flair and Riia R together withith Alexa Bliss. Nuts againgst Jade Cargill, Machin and BFab. I mean, you'd like to think that they're that Charlotte Rha Ripley and Alexa Bliss would be unstoppable But that's Charlotte Alexa Chemistry is a very, very unique chemistry And I don't know what happens when you throw another element in there. We know that Mach Chin, Jade Cargill and BeFab Are a unit? Yes. I don't know. Remember the drama before Elimination Chamber? Of course. Getting Charlotte and Rheia to be on the same team Of course Insane. Look, we are going to unpack it all coming off of Saturday night's main event going into next Monday night. We will be here on WWE now on the raw recap to recap every last bit of it. Brock Lesn's back. Unbelievable. Thank you guys for joining us.
