This is the raw recap on WWE now on WWE Fanatics original production. Well, here we are again. so much to talk about.'s not even digested all the way. Monday Night Rw is not even fully digested in my intestinal tracks and yet still Here we are to unpack. I think it's important to do, Magggan Mirand, are you ready? was I was ready when you said not fully digested. When you started to bring up your intestines, That's when I said, Okaykay, chill, Sam. We We may have gone a little too far. I don't need to hear about your intestines. Well, I didn't bring up my loins, but listen Tonight to me was about two things Obafemi, who we will get into. Yeah and the bloodline. the bloodline running throughout Monday night raw. And I'm telling you, Roman reigns brought it up He says he hears everybody and it's the locker room, but it's out there, you know, in WWE fandom People with different opinions on this idea that the bloodline story is back. It's one of those things that a lot of people we all Some of us experienced it, some of us dealt with it. It depends on perspective. But for three and a half years, the bloodline run rough shot over the WWE Roman took his foot off the gas for two years. and now he's back and he appears to be pushing that pedal. harder than he has ever p And no one can say anything. This is not Roman who is missing days to work. This is not Roman who's rolling up just for the main of the event of Monday Night Raw. This is Roman Reigns who's opening the show. He's doing some things in the middle of the show And he's appearing later on in the show. This is not the same Roman reigns that all the haters. talking about on the internet. He gave the evening to Baltimore tonight. gave them the evening and I mean, I mean, many story beats I' found throughout this evening. So first of all, it's all in the details, everythingthing counts, Roman reigns and Jay Uso Roman Rigns and the Uos all show up but I thought it was Interesting. The Roman and Jay Both had SUVs. Jay Uso make no mistake about it. and it's really interesting to me because from the beginning of the bloodline peopleople watched sort of the progression and the career of Jay Usso. And the bloodline while it used different methods was always expressly designed to create stars from throughout the family, not just One So the idea that two SUVs are pulling up. We are witnessing Jay Uso kind of step into his place as a potential leader of this bloodline. And I think the growing pains that might come along with it. Yeah, and we've experienced all those growing pains, right? And that's the reason why a lot of people said when Jay Uso won a world championship in WWE that maybe the bloodline story was about J Uso all along. Yeah. Here he is rolling up to Monday night R on his own SUV But this is what Roman Reigns made so clear that the bloodlight and people and you know my rule about a lot of factions. I've said it They're forever They just They never break up. And so I love the fact that Roman Reign said straight up the bloodline is forever. Like he had to break down what this actually is that this isn't some made up storylinine This isn't some like, oh, I don't know. let's group these wrestlers together and see what we get out of. bloodline's always been here. It's always been here and it always will be here. And like there's fact. to back all of that up. when the WWE first began that sort of National expansion. The wild Samoans were a key component of it when you talk to wrestling fans from the east Cast. who watched wrestling in the late nineteen seventies going into the nineteen eighties Every one of them have something to say about Apha and Sika the Wild Samoans. They were one of the very early draws of the WWE at that time. But before we get there Roman already in the spirit as they walk to the ring and they meet up with Jacob who's not been traveling with Roman And he's not been traveling with the Usos basased on how the show ended. That might be changing I agree with you But Jacob is a man of his word, and Jacob has shown respect to Roman reign since acknowledging Roman reigns. I don't think there's anything phony about the acknowledgement on Jacob's part. No, I don't think so either, Eespecially in the way that he continues to say my Oh TC Roman. Rins And they all go to the, you know, They embrace Go to the ring together And Roman reigns not only received some acknowledgement from Baltimore But then tells Baltimore to acknowledge Jayusso who he himself a former world heavyweight champion who he himself just on Friday. Advanced in the King of the Ring tournament to the semifinals. And Roman calls Jeusso his right hand man. The right hand man, Jayuso And then he turns over to Jimmy. And this is, by the way, this is one of the things that makes modern Roman a little bit different from the Roman that we saw, you know, with the bloodline three years two years ago is that He's so established in who he is He's allowing everybody around him to shine. Yeah You know, that he's taking time out to be like, no, no, no, everybody. Roman of two years ago wasn't doing that. No He's going to everybody, look at Jay. and then turns around to Jimmy and he goes, peopleeople think that I don't show enough love to Jimmy. Don't you know? that without Jimmy, there'd be no J. Without J, there'd be no bloodline. Like the Jimmy is responsible for all of this. You say without J, there'd be no OTC Without Jimmy, there'd be no Yeah exxactly withoutimy there'd be no OTC. There'd be no OTC. There'd be no bloodline There be none of this. And he is right. I mean, you go back. And you look at how this whole thing started. And Jimmy was the one that kind of realized what was going on here and got Jay together for it. J Jimmy has always been the cooler heads. intntellectual one of the group, I would say. He's an integral part of the bloodline And then before conversation could move to Jacob J And you know how I feel about crrash out J. Well also Baltimore was chanting fa two at the top of their lungs. Of course and because Romans going through, he gives Jay some shine. He gives Jimmy some shine and Baltimore. and was echoes F to F two. and you can see Crash out Jay some kind of way. And there's nothing cooler than no cell Jacob when he's just sitting there just standing straight ahead, looking straight ahead, like none of it's affecting him, none of it's bothering him. He's there for one reason and one reason. only that's exactly who I'm talking about. Roman looking right at him and Jacob, just all business straight ahead I'm doing exactly what I said I was going to do You're the OTC. This is what I'm here to do And then you get you get you get J Wh's saying, you know, I rnd them out a little bit. Jacob's not falling in line. There's one person we haven't talked about yet. Right. He's not listening. Right I listen Jacob. responds to it And then Roman says, you know, is this is this a Is this the proble is this a problem? And Jacob says Do I acknowledge the twins Heail N Hey,, I don't acknowledge the twins He's like, what part of this are you guys not understanding? I'm not doing that Like there's no, there's no, I'm not listening. There's no, I don't understand. I don't do that. I'm not doing it at all. You don't have to further clarify it. It's not a that's not the issue here. You have a problem? I'm l I'm not doing it. I'm not gonna do it. Done Right I made make that clear You too Nah. And that's when he said The only person he acknowledges is who? B O, T, C, Roman Rign. Oh when you get Jacob on your side and there's only a handful of people that know how that feels, it's gota feel like a million bucks. becausecause when he decides it's like, no, that's my dude put it all all the energy goes in, but when that's not the dude, Held no. No. L like I mean, just looking at him like, you gotta be crazy. I told you I'm not doing it. Oh When Jacob hits the hellna. Hell no. There are a few things better. No, it's the best And that's when That's when Roman reigns starts getting into the bloodline being forever. And this is where you start to Oh I those goosebumps Bloodline goosebumps. Yeah, that's what he's goingone like I' plete and he starts naming him You know what I'm saying? I thought that you were going go take some time to yourself. I mean Roman was doing this I needed to. because that f because he start he started makeaking he talked about the wild Samoans And he talked about Rikishi When he said when Rkish she was out it's true when the wild Samoans were out there in the golden era and don't even forget by the way But during the new generation, here come the head shrinkers here to entertain everybody And then comes the attitude era. And here comes Rikishi Here to dance and entertain everybody was talking about Umaga every single era. What about the fact that that a young a young Samoan comes in portraying a Japanese sumo wrestler and shows up and within what was it? I want to say October, November December, January withithin five months of his debut, he wins the WWE Championship at WrestleMania. What about Yoko Zuna? What about Battle of the Billionaires's main event in WrestleMania, Umaga Like he's saying it we've been here. And then he looks at Jacob and he talks about how they always will be here because twenty years from now When my kids are tagging with your kids, the bloodline will still be here. And I'll still be d I'll still be turning the siren on and dropping those podcasts. You see Roman Range Junior and Jacob Fetu junior out there. That was amazing. Bahah, I'll still be here doing the same thing compelled by all of it With the same level of enthusiasm Oh, I mean that's not higher. has to be because I felt it tonight when Roman, who's now bringing the belt boy with him everywhere That Belt boy has more responsibilities than just the b. I was gonna say I think he got a little promotion. It feels like it doesn't it? because he's very involved. Ver involved in all of it. I was worried you were going to start to get jealous. A Bow boy? Yeah No, no, no, no, no, that's for him. That's for him. You know, that's not my lane. I'm not that's not That needs one one hundred percent full, complete and utter dedication Because he showed up with that like cigar box is what like that nice polished wood box And they opened it up And Roman takes out this version of the Ulfala And he says to Jacob You've always said you were the outsider You've always said you were on the outside looking in That's over now You're on the inside Welcome to the family business Welcome to the bloodline puts it around Jacob's neck. And I think to some degree You know, this is what Jacob has always strived for. This is what he talks about when when when he said he was running the Indies Yeah while the bloodline was controlling things in the WWE that this can be the family business and this can be, but it's not like every single member of this family is part of the business or has been able to make it to the top of the business. There's plenty of members of this family. gone in with with the best of intentions At. that's how big this family is. There's just as many members of this family tried their hand at it and not made it. and not been in that elite conversation of people that do control this thing And for Roman to be front and center saying in the midst of all this When the Usos, who Roman just described as rising up the ranks to be the greatest tag team that ever lived, which is big words from Roman Reigns coming from the direct blood of the wild Samoans that Roman then looks at Jacob and says Welcome to the B blloodline, welcome to the familyily Business. to the point that the Usos are like, wait, what I thought we were voicing our complaints with Jacob Talk about a promotion. They like we're stuck with him. Listen Roman is one of the great examxples of a leader that's ever existed because he doesn't just lead in one style. He looks at who's in front of him. And he goes, how do I get through to this person What does this person need And how do I get through? It's not like if you like if you're going to run things like that And you want the best out of your people It's not a matter of going Okay, this is how I lead heere the orders just follow them. Well, I think this is a difference in the Roman reigns that we saw two years ago. I think Roman is is leading in a different way now. There might be It's going to be crazy is here degree of empathy. Wow that exists in our tribal chief. Wow. And it's on display. from our degree. A degree now don't don't mistake empathy or kindness for weakness But there could be that there And I think a level of appreciation as well for the people around him. Yes, yes. And I think that yes, and I think that that comes through in the acknowledgement of what they've done that you have done this.. You do deserve credit for this And so then, you know as they leave rain And and and and The osers are kind of feeling a certain type of way. Well, all the ones were in the air, right? Well Roman had the one for good call. Jacob puts his one up right there And then the ose has to figure out what to do. Yeah, Jimmy is reluctant, but he goes over. Like come on. And Jay is like, really man. But what are we doing here? What are we doing? I'll put my one up to. So they leave. Jay's in a little bit of a huff. he blows right past Erig Andre, who's sitting in that nice corner seat. It wasn't Carllyo No, it was Eric Andre. No, it Eric Andandre's cool too Bye Then Jimmy walks by and Jimmy is a he doesn't let his emotions get away from him Shakes his hand. Good to see you, Bah, bl Bah Roman Reigns kind of walks by, I'm like, Oh yeah, I see I And then Jacob, doesn't want anything to do with him. No. it's It's fun being a fan, you know, But he also touched the Ulafalla. W He just bestowed upon Jacob Fatu by Roman Reigns as he was welcomed to the family business and welcomed to the bloodline. Eric Andre is a little bit of a wild card. I don't know if you know this about Eric Andre, he's not overly known for taking things especially seriously You know, he became very, very famous for having what he and this is not a criticism He set out with one goal and that's to have the worst talk show that's ever existed And that was the Eric Andre show and it's beloved, beloved by many But it's a show where he just d I mean, the whole opening of the show is he destroys his set every single week. It's the greatest thing you've ever seen, but it's not to be taken Seriously. But Jacob was having a pretty serious moment. Yeah, Jacob's not in the mood to celebrate Bird up right now. No He's not sing's not joking around right now. No, he's not trying to legalize Ranch He's not even thinking about that. He's having a big moment with his family And so when Arigandre thinks that it's an appropriate thing. he's done investigating three and eleven So he starts to mess Jacob Fatu's Ulafalla Jacob it's not he's not going like, oh we have to treat our celebrity guests a certain way. Nah Nah Hilda. Hilda He grabs Aragon. What do you think Jacob Aatu thought of Eric Andre touching The whole situation? Yes. ass He thought it was ass, I think. That's why I think he thought it was. As. As So that's a great question, by the way Well because you know, it's good. He pulls Arig Andre over the rail throws him in the rain And it's like, I mean, listen, I mean, and he wasn't just like he was like bouncing up and down the Oafalla like yeay yeay T to think. People have been saying on the internet that Jigob Fatu has been neutered. Oh Michael Co said it. That's why he had the night off because Michael Cole went on PLE and said it Yeah, neutered. That looks like neutered to you. N to me. It's one of the worst calls he's ever made So So he throws Eric Contre in the ring And he's a about I mean, any and Aragandre is down for the count. Oh yeah The Samoan werewolf is about to splash him he's up on the top rope. Here comes the hurricane. Here comes Pety Williams. Here comes Adam Pierce. Everybody's out there going stop, stop, stop and Roman gets up on the apron And he goes Stop. And Jacob listens to Roman. He has to listen to his tribal chief. Yes And then Roman at a change of heart, he goes, you know what, do? Go ahead. Why not? And then he does it and he flattens Ericg Andre and Aam Pierce is like Why would you do that? What are you doing? Roman's got those pearly whites? You're smiling at them. Why would you do that, Roman? And I looked at that and I was thinking about that. What's the psychology behind this? Why would Roman do that? And I believe that the reason this was done. is because Roman doesn't want anyone to mistake what's happening. Like you said, he's leading a little bit differently. Maybe he has a little bit more patience, more empathy, more whatever But in this moment, I think he's realized like Jacob's locked into this. Of course I need to show everybody what a weapon I have I need to show everybody the degree of control that I have, right? Because sometimes Sometimes when you're in a position like Roman Reigns Authority figures will say, hey, can you please make sure this happens And you do because you have the ability to make sure that it happens. No proble. But then these authority figures think that they're the ones in charge. M That's how I took it. So Roman needed to remind everybody that while he's leading a little differently, I he may have a bit of empathy.head. He's still An notches him the bloodline is more dangerous than ever I'm in charge I'm the one calling the shots. Theyike just, you know, it can go your way But I like it to go my way And then the crowd's chanting one more time And Romy goes, no no You know what? finene more time. Jacob, goo head back in there. I run this whole place. And Jacob goes right back in there, knocks the hurricane over, goes right back to the top rope flattens Aargandre again. againg. It's a good thing he already shot this movie with John Cena because there's no way He was going to be in any condition after what he went through. But I think the whole thing was an absolute exercise in the kind of power that Roman Reigns has right now. And psychology, right? Absolute psychology Now before we get the LA. Kight event. Oh because that's a big part. Because the plot thickens.

Yeah LA Night very dismayed disappointed in how the King of the Ring first round match went for him on SmackDown. said that there would be other people involved. There were other people involved. It looked like he had the match in hand Solo Seoa showed up at Ringside. This family once again interfering in L.A Kight's life. Yes, but I think that Solo Seoa is interfering on bealf of That's what the. Yeah, that's what the U so said that Solo wasn't involved with them That's right And Jimmy said it flat out Sol it wasn't inv you And it was. I mean, if you look at what was happening, it appeared he was trying to save Roy's keys and Jay just happened to take advantage of it. Yes, whichich if you're in a fatal four way is completely fine But Roman said to the Uos, who were still complaining about Jacob, there's other business to take care of. L LA Kight's still running his mouth. Taking care of LA Kight. Maybe I need to send the werewolf out there I said, Nope, Jimmy says, do you know when I got this? Jimmy says I got this Jay was about to crash out, but Jimmy stepped up. Right So LA Kight goes out there and he's cutting a promo about losing in this King of the ring match talking about Solo Sekoa talking about it going exactly how he thought it was going to go And Jimmy Usso comes out And I got to tell you man. This cooler headads prevail, Jimmy Uso. Man, I don't think we're in a period of time anymore. Jimmy's desire to be friends with everybody is effective. No, I don't think it's effective anymore either. Because I think everybody's threatened by the bloodline. So the idea that Jimmy thinks he's going to be able to maintain friendships, it's kind of one or the other. The idea that Jimmy thinks he's going to be able to maintain friendships while this other thing is happening, it's it kind of comes across as naive. Yeah, it's sort of like, You're with the bloodline or you're against the bloodline. Yeah, and you and by the way, I fully understand the other side. I fully understand anybody that's been around that lived this thing that is wanting a WWE where the opportunities are wide open. That was Seth Rollins's whole mission at WrestleMania forty. Yeah tryrying to make sure that that the bloodline didn't just get their stranglehold over over everything. That's why he was Cody Shield Roman Reigns has made no secret about the fact that this is he organizes the bloodline in a way to to whole power over the entire industry so that their family for generations upon generations can prosper because their family has been around and and didn't have the ability to organize the way they're organized now So Ellie Knight and Jimmy are talking but Ellie Kight's not taking Jimmy seriously at all And Jimmy's trying to be cool, trying to be cool. Here comes Jay Jay Uo interrupts Everybody in Baltimore is on their feet. Of course they are so makes his way to the ring and Sam, I have to tell you there was a moment. When Jay U so standing in the ring with his twin brother Jimmy looking at LA Kight And I'm like, oh my gosh, is he going to run it back right now with all of Baltimore just to flex on LA Night? It'd be very insulting. But instead he did not. Instead he looked right at L.A Night and said, let me talk to you which also Very insulting. Salts in the wound. Yes, pors of salt in the wound And and LA. Kights said stop, stop, stop. let me guess. you want me to acknowledge the tribal chief. Now listen Lay night talks about the different members of this family way more. then the members of this family talk about the different members of this family. Jimmy Uso comes out and tries to have a one on one conversation with LA Knight. Jay Uo comes out, tries to have a one on one conversation with LA Knight. All LA Knight wants to do is bring up every member of the family every single time. He is obsessed bringing up All the different members of the family. So it's not shocking to me that somebody like Jay Uso gets frustrated with it and says flat out No. No, that ain't it. I want you to acknowledge me better than you. I loved it when he just looked at LA Night flat out And Jay said, I'm better than you I's like that's what you want to somebody to just own it. whether that's true or not You want Jay and you've wanted Jay for so long. to be able to own it because when he said it believed every word. And it's crazy because I'm sitting there thinking Not long ago, Jimmy and Jay teamed up with LA Knight at WrestleMania. It really wasn't long ago at all. was two months, maybe And they work together to the point where I said Okay, baby. What'ist This is all right. Yeah. Yeah. And tonight LA Nights says I acknowledge you to kiss my ass. You did say that to. Listen The whole world changed when Roman Rigns won the worldld Heavyweight title. It did. It was inevitable. It did. People didn't see it coming But he did. He put his finger up in the air and he said, I acknowledge that one that's what he said what you just said. Yeah. course that didn't sit too well And and and Jay and LA Kight are going at it and Jimmy's goes and kicks LA Kight and he says, I had to. I had to. I'm sorry. Jay goes and gets the chair for whatever reason again Jimmy stops Jay from going after LA Kight. And it's like, what are you doing, Jimmy? Why are you stopping him This is a guy who doesn't want to hear anything like how many times did they tell him? We didn't have anything to do with solo. He didn't want to hear it. He wasn't interested in hearing that At that point, you go, okay, I've tried the diplomatic approach. It's not going to work. Ted to be reasonable But now you've got Jimmy and Jay completely fractured trying two different things. And who's going to come out and be the great equalizer? The Samoan werewolf. Jacobs fat too He comes out handles LA night LA night goes down Tongen death grip And Jacob Fetu solves the problem says, what are we doing here? Done. Solves a problem. It's done B And it goes back there in front of the OTC and lets them all know Jimmy's wayay was asked. Jaysway was asked So this is the way we had to do it And notice that Jacob didn't say Jacob never said I did it my way He said, God his ass. he did say that But he said he did it the OTC's way. And you go, huh And you wonder too, you're right, Roman Reigns is running things differently. What was last time Roman Reigns had a loyal soldier like that I mean don't P solo, right? When Solo is the enforcer That was probably the last one. Yeah I mean, don't you think that he's going to and wasn't he showing favoritism towards solo towards the end of the bloodline?. Don't you think that this is the guy that Roman wants because at the end of the night When it was just Roman and Jacob Roman told Jacob, like I understand you. And no one's understood you before. No one's understood you, but I understand you. And Jacob believed that. it seemed like he did. And it's crazy because just a couple of weeks ago, Roman said to Jacob, You don't understand this now. But you will love me. Or I do love you, you know? Yeah, you know because you'reght up rightight about both things. We're kind of there, dude were kind of there already because they embraced and Roman whispered something to Jacob But it was just Roman and Jacob. And you go, Oh boy Oh boy. when you see those two together and they are lined up I mean this is I love this dude. We went on quite the ride with Roman and Jacob tonight. He's getting J starting when When Jacob was officially welcomed into the family business and look whispering backstage. Over the course A couple hours Unbelievable I mean, talk about a ride. How about the ride we've been on for the last couple of weeks? Dan Hausen? Oh yeah. Was on Monday night Raw And NBA champion, Dan Hausen Well, he proclaimed himself an NBA champion. I think think I think he's right. He's an NBA champion. I don't see him. I think he's on the Kicks. You do. Yes. I mean, he was given a jersey. I didn't see him I saw a game ree Yes That's when they lost. I know Yeah. that's's not great. No no. But he rides with them through the highs and the lows. Yeah, I didn't see him in San Antonio. But regardless, you know, I don't know, o, there he is. there he is. He does have a jersey. He is on the court. I think he's on the team. I guess he is Yeah, I saw a speech that James Dolan gave to the Nicks that said I saw that one. That everybody's getting two rings. You're not getting one ring. You're getting two rings because you got you have a spouse, you have a girlfriend, somebody that's been riding with you. Yeah. Who knows? Maybe one of them would choose Dan Hausen as their second ring. Amazing. Wouldn't you, if you were on the te? Would I? I would. Yeah. I' not explaining to my wife. I go, you gotta understand. Stanna Hausen, you know? she's like, I've known you the whole time. I thought we were doing this together. No Stan Hausen, you know, you uncurse the Kns I mean, Dan Housen being everywhere was an absolute treat. And of course now Dan Hausen is in very, very high demand He was back there, He brought his entire laboratory. Tntill Monday night Raw. Working on whatever concoctions he was working on, working on the computer. Very busy. Very busy. Focused And inc comomes u Liv Morgan. Oh, Olivia Morgan. Olivia Morgan. And Liv Morgan decided that she wanted to go in and try to get Dan Hausen to help I have a question for you about this. Okay. Do you think that Liv Morgan was trying to seduce Stan Hausen? I mean, you're better at reading reading the body language than I am But it seemed I think Liv was up to her tricks. I think there might have been a little bit of seduction games. going on for Live Morgan, I do. I do. I mean Daddy Dom would be okay with that Listen, I think Daddy Domam's gott to realize that some things are done for the greater. You know what I mean? This business. you know. Like luckily I don't think he has anything to worry about because Dan Hausen is well, he's too strong for that. He's not. He clearly wasn't vulnerable. He's, you know, Liv has had really good luck using her feminine wiles and charms. But this one was still going to cost her human money. Well yeah, it was really tough because she even showed off like she, you know, she takes her jacket off There's that, you know, whatever cut Dan Hus and T shirt the Liv Morgan is wearing And you know what I knew it wasn't going to go Liv's way. Who's up? Did you hear what Dan Haousen mumbled the minute Liv Morgan revealed what she was wearing He mumeled, I hope you paid for that He wanted to collect make sure that he collected a royalty. O the Dan Haousen shirt. Dan Haousen is well known as selling many, many, many t shirts. But the fact that he's looking at individual ones and wants to make sure that he got the royalty on that one That really that's gota Let you know if you're Liff Morgan, this is not the vibe that you're looking mayaybe you have to switch your strategy a little bit A little bit because Liv then asked for for a cursing Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Dan Husen was willing to do that But I believe he said, let me see, I tried to write this down. He wanted obviously human moneyies He wanted to have a part in Liv Morgan's next music Olivia Morgan's next music video. I think that would be perfect. He wanted more human mononeyies. He wanted his own song, his own pop song. Okay that she would help him with and and then even some more human mononeyies because he's in very demand right now So a song, music video, and a lot of money And then also Morma M money. Yes, yes, yes. So unfortunately, I do not think that Liv was able to capitalize the way she thought she might be able to. Although I really would like to see trouble the remix with Dan Hausen in the music video Well, look, that's going to be the thing. Like I mean, the fun of Dan Hausen was always, these curses are ridiculous. You know what I mean? There's just a maniac running around in face paint talking about cursing people Except then the Nicks. , you know, not doing Eact were fifteen and one. They were fifteen and one from the uncursing fifteen and one and they just had to get that one because it's the Kicks. Yeah. They had to remind everybody we're still the Kicks. And it also was the one that D Dan Hon was Yeah. ye. Maybe Dan Hmond was was ignoring You know, the energy that they need to put into. they do better when he's in his laboratory.'s yeah, I think he's better there because he's not so distracted, meaning Ben Stiller and Cardi B and all the people are his friends. Well, yeah,t He took photos with them. No, they're his friends, though That's what he said. They're friends. He's friends with Cardi B But maybe he'll be in Liv Morgan's music video and a Card D B music video. Can you imagine C now Yes Two weeks ago? No. Now, he's a darling of celebrity life in New York. Yeah, I could imagine. Cardy Baousen Absolutely. so good. I mean, I'm very like it's going to be a jolt to the system, depending on whether or not he gets involved on Thursdays Parade I don't know what we're going to see but congratulations today D and how' in unfortunate for Liv Morgan and bad luck I would say trouble trouble followed The Judgment Day everywhere they went tonight, especially in the main event of the show. Oh Is this tough for you, are you all right? No not Well, you did ask me last week if there was a greater than zero percent chance that Dominic wins. And I gott to tell you Sam, when Dominic was able to take that ringbell hammer sneak it in his boot, somehow or another find a way to hit the six one nine on Oba Femi and deliver the low blow. I thought it was it. Dominic goes up for the frog splash I don't go ahead. I go greater than zero. Okay I had Oba kicked down one, so. It was tough. I ask you now Is there greater than zero chance that Dominic wins the King of the Ring? There's not There's not It is over. Yeah, no. Look, I mean, I feel like Dominic I don't know that he came in with much of a plan. It felt like he thought he was going to wing it. Once he got there. Yeah. I don't know if he was expecting like imediately slid out of the ring H or what was going on. But he and JD I don't think was the team They needed to be. he did once the match began slid out of the ring. He tried to frustrate Oba Femi. He nailed Oa with a drop kick. Unfortunately, I think that just got Oba Femi more angry as Oba Femy then shot puted Dominiic Mysterio across a commentary table. Just the moment that Dom needed though, he ended up getting that hammer. So JD distracts the ref. Dominiic hits a low blow. Then he hits the Oa with a six hundred one nine, but I don't know if I've ever seen a six hundred one nine hit to an abdomen That's how big Ober Femy is. a big boy. He hit Ober gu in the abdomen with a six one nine Got Oba Femi down. likeike you said, went for the splash. And I was I was out of my seat. I was like, he's got it. This is it. This is it. Oh kick that on one And I went, o, it's over. you remember when I said I said? Yeah, I was like if he nails this and at that point, when he was up about to hit the frog splash, I said greater than zero And when Oa kicked down one I said less than zero. And then and then when Oa started taking out both of them at the same time. And then and then the hammer fell out of the boot and you knew he was really in trouble. We picked it up. And he dropped it. He dropp didn't have the opportunity to use it Once Oba started going like this That's when what I said over. I said this is my game three. It is over. This is my game three right here. This is not This is not good a powerower bomb And that I mean, I've spent the last week going on every platform that I have advocating for this dominant mystero to win the whole King of the Rings. had me sold. I look like a fool. You had me sold. I know. I tried to sell as many people as I could. Yeah. I was wrong O O course O Femi one. I was ready for Dominiic to become a world Champion of summer slim. Yeah, I was ready for it. Of course Oa Femi one. What did you think you seing me that? I know. You did. I know I know I should have sold snake oil. That's what I was built to do. fact that I made anybody believe the dominic Mysteria was ever going to beat Oba Femi. And then Oba You're just like, what do I want to happen? Let me manifest that. I'm gonna manifest it. Manifest it doesn't work. Everybody talks about manifesting. it's Well, you know why it doesn't work? How Does it work? Because it's O buaffemi He is he he is the manifest destroyer Absolutely And then he starts calling out Brock Les, which is nuts. It's like, bro, you're in the king of you're to go to the King of the Ring Final You're going like like what what are you doing? He He had a lot of things to say about Brock Lesnar. He said he didn't know if he was a man at all A saying this He wants brought Lesnar. This is the man who delivered Seven F five. Seven F five. He's like, I don't know if he's a man. What Right. I He said I'm going to be the king of the Ring And you're always going be the one who ran away from me. Then he started talking about legacy. Oh my gosh Oh my gosh. I'm sitting there And I'm looking and we'll talk about Jovon Evans in a little bit On Friday, Jayso versus Jovan Evs. Yes Does it matter? Oba Femei. The winner that match fights Oba Femi in the King of the Ring Finals No, it doesn't matter. It doesn't It doesn't. It's a foregone conclusion, you're saying. Yes. Oh my gosh But give the crown now, you're saying That's what I would do Well know what they're going to say in in the bloodline in the bloodline hangout ass because J U so didn't win the I mean, it's going to be tough. Listen, I'll tell you this. The Fanatics Fest is bringing two exclusive WWE live shows to New York City this July Don't miss the official WWE Summer sllam kickoff hosted by Michael Cole On Sunday, july nineteenth with special guests, exclusive insights and a preview of WWE's biggest event of the summer and John Cena is taking the stage for the You can S me Now Live show, Saturday, july eighteenth, a live Q and A giving fans an inside look at the moment, stories and mindset behind his legendary career I should find a moderator for that Q and A. Oh, wow. I wonder. Nope you're busy where you are doing judging. Who could moderate that we could take a break Q and A Hm, Somebody to make John Sene his life. Fanatics Fest is a must attend for every WWE fan I'm manifesting. I think Peter Rosenberg iss available. No, he's busy. Tickets are available now at fanaticsfest dot com Save ten percent with promo code. WWE now ten And I cannot wait Go to Fanics Fest and be joined by my co host, Kathy Kelly for WW now I guess Now, I will say. I will say that we also got an advance in the Queen of the Ring and this is a woman who you, every chance that you've gotten and rightfully so. pointed out to you She is the best wrestler on the planet right now. It's crazy because when this bracket came out, you see Eo. And you know, we're all filling out our brackets. and you like to come up with a couple of different scenarios. But when you just say, let's simplify all of this How does EOky not make the finals? That's what it is. That's such a good point because we did it with Dominiic. We do it all the time. It's like Ofem Like you go and you go, what's the simplest route? We love to fantasize about an upset, right? Yes. And what and this and that and we make up these scenarios And you go like this because it's a tournament. Yeah. you go a lot of different things could happen fatal four ways, there's a lot of different rules And you end up in a scenario where somebody goes to suummerslame that you would have never thought would go to Summer. when we just apply logic and you look bracket You go, there's no way Eo's not going to the finals Yeah, we romanticize the idea of like, oh, this is like just a total You know, was somebody you never considered would all of a sudden But no. I mean, the same thing is happening with Obaemi, but you're right. like Eo Sky, by the way, amazing that she is compared to Oba Femi. Yeah becausecause they could a different totally different way. They could't carry themselves more differently, but the reality is that yeah I come up with every reason in the world that Ral would beat EOky. And if we're anybody other than EO Sky This would be big Mommy cool all over. In Raquel, Oh my goodness, the power on display at the beginning of the match. Incredible. I thought Eo was down and out for But it was But then I remembered this is Eoky. This is Eoky and it's the classic story at some point, the genius is going to take to the sky. And once she does Game over And Rquel is is is out Rquel out of this Queen of the Ring tournament. and now you've got Eo Sky who's going to face the winner of the match on SmackDown between Live Morgan and Charlotte Flair, which by the way The fact that at Kight of Champions, we either get EO versus Charlotte or EO versus Liv That's massive. Now, okay, okay if Eo, if Liv Morgan makes it to the finals. Okay Eosky. You you think theS guys' going w the quQeen of theing Regardless right now, I'm not asking you if I'm asking you between these two do you you said EO is the best. Yeah. You said Eo. I think right when this bracket came out, I said EOo's got to be the favorite of the whole tournament. So Yes Yes. So let's go in. So let's say Liv Morgan goes to the finals and Eo beats her. Okay. If you're Eo Sky, Do you go Why know Well, I mean, I know I can beat live because I already did it. but Do I go after her championship? Or do you go after Ria Ripley who while she has beaten Rheia Ripley before is easily her fiercest rival in WWE. Yeah, but she's like this woman has never pinned me. You what she just beat Liv. But it's hard to go back to back, right? Okay, That's a great point. Really hard to go back to back. Beat me once. And now Liv's got a feel for what's going on in there. now it's like, okay, now the tit She has the judgment dayay behind her. She's got the judgment day. There's no tomorrow. Maybe Rhea still has a warm spot in her heart For Ro, off course She wass wearing the necklace that said Rio on it. We saw other emotional Goodbye. So you're not going for the back to back. You're going for Rhea, hoping you can preay on the emotions I think so. That's why you want all those marathons You are a competitor, you are a nasty competitor Yeah, I think I' like Wby. I think it's top You weemby of these marathons, just just a dirty, dirty player Yeah, I mean, the Bows are coming out mile twenty four. Yeah. You got to. Yeah. because what are you there to do? Are you there to run? are you there to win? There to win That's what thought.'s what we got to do. That's why're going to the Olympic trials. It's all fun and games. Right ntil those last couple miles. and then boom Guess who's here? Guess who just showed up. It's Eo Sky coming for Ro Ripley's title. Wow. I love it. I love that take because I would have gone the other way, but that's the smarter take. the fact that okay. I don't want to try to go back to back. I want to see if I can go Oh gee, I guess I'll face you, but I hope we're still friends after it And then try to, you know. And then the genius takes to the sky and then it's over. And repeat what we've done before. And EO Sky has been Ria's cropt tonight Many times Well not many, but more times the most. Yeah I love it. I love it. I do want to tell you that about some new merch that's available now. Solua. You love Sluka, a new champion has arrived. Oh, look at that Those shirts are awesome Uh, you can rap Megha Marant, Sol Ruka's historic Continental Championship win. with the official champion tees ruin Becky Lynch's vacation wherever you go available now at WWE shop. doesn't say that in the print It doesn copy have this and fanatics. It says the copy says ruined Becky Lyches Vacation and and Roberts congratulate Sl Rka on everything that she's done. By the way. By the way You can turn up the heat this summer with WWE tanks show them guns off, which way? the gun show See this would be a lot more impressive if I was wearing a tank. Why aren't you? Instead of a flannel, Well I haven't got my tanks yet. You can heat this summer up with WWE tanks that are built for every member of the WWE universe. Shop your favorite superstar styles now. at WWE shop and fanatics. lookook at that smoking skull with the arms on display. I mean, what a throw. What a throw that would be. Hey, speaking of night of night of Champions and the King of the Ring finals matches that we're going to get, we found out another match that we're going to get at night of Champions. We are going to see Seth Rollins versus Brom Breaker one on one But this time It will be inside of a steel Cage And on one end You go Yeah, like a steel cage. probably work in the favor of Seth Rollins because it's going to make it a lot tougher for the vision. Yeah, to get involved, right? Oorse But of all things on the planet. Why would you want to be locked inside a steel cage with bron breaker? You would never want to be locked inside a steel cage with a dog. With a dog like that? Oh who who, who who You're in a steel cage with a dog, who comes out The steel c dog The dog comes out of the steel cage place with a bone in its mouth. And you don't ask anybody where you got that bone from. Okay, Guess what happened in the sand lot That ball went over the fence. I don't care if it was signed by Baby Ruth Okay? Baby Bruce You weren't getting that ball back. No matter how much you begg James or Earl Jones, the ball wasn't coming back because you're not getting in that cage with that doough. And they're at The beast, I believe was the name of the dog. How was the name WWE's equivalent to the Beast from the Sandlot is Brawn breaker But can you here's the thing. I mean, the level of speed that's going to be built up inside that cage. That's one of those things that like You want a little bit more space around you so that at least when that thing hits you, you can hope that like, you know, that when when a spear hits you You can hope to you'll at least go flying somewhere, right? Where there's more things to dodge it with. Or there's more things to dodge it with now. You get speared and if you don't go straight to the ground, you're going straight into solid steel. N retty Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. But maybe that's what Seth Rollins wants to do. I think Sh Rolls Seth Rollins thought that he was already done division. And I think that the point traditionally of Steel cage matches has been This is going to tell the story This is this once it's done, it's done One person is coming out of this cage and there's no excuses. Now look, It doesn't mean it's going happen every single time, but I think that's what Seth Rollins is looking for. I think that's why Seth Rollins wants this steel cage. He thought the vision was behind him Clearly they weren't. Right. How do you put the vision behind you? You walk out of the steel cage Yeah Yeah. if you can get out of it if you got the power of your leg still moving. Yeah. And the vision is not only, you know, still at the at the same level that they've been at But they're even higher, they're in full on recruiting mode. Yeah, because Logan Paul was back tonight. Yeah Logan Paul made a surprise return to Monday Night Raw with his arm in a in a brace after tearing his tricep Javon Evans was in the ring And he was he was looking he was pushing forward to Sackown talking about the fact that he's got a match with JU so the winner of that going on to face Oba Fem at Night of Champions in the King of the Ring final match But outcomes, I would say it's the biggest singles match in Jeon Evans's career T the Sena That wasn't a single that tag team with Leon Slaterater. Yeah, it might. M the biggest Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And it's and it's yeah, because that puts him Two matches away from a WWE title. Yeah Right now, Javon Evans is two matches away. getting a shot at the WWE Championship at Summererslleam. Yeah, absolutely. This would be the biggest match of his WWE career and if he's able to win, I mean, forget about it. the night of Champions match will be out of this world. Yeah But Austin Theory and Logan Paul come out. Who, by the way, we sawust in theory earlier Chatting it up with O Maxine Duprix. Yeah. What is going on there? T They walk Down the aisle and Logan Paul is wondering why Baltimore's got to be so negative He's yapping the whole way to the ring. And they get in there And first they invite Javvon Evans to join the vision whichich kind of came out of nowhere, but I go, I get it I mean, if I'm looking at the future, if I'm looking at who's going to make all the difference, I'm absolutely. lookingooking at Javon Evans In the vision could use some reinforcements right now. Sure. Paul is there, but you know, he's only got one arm. One arm. Bronsson Reid He's not there. Not there right now You've got Bronbreaker and you got Austin Theory there and' you have Paul Hayman right now. You wonder if this is a Paul Hayman move or if this is Logan Paul and Austin Theory. P in the shots in putting those two peanut brains together. but But unfortunately power of those two brains together. did not come out with the result that they wanted because Jvon Evans says, hell no. I'm not joining the vision And then Logan Paul said you misread. this was not an invitation This was we insist You're in the vision. or' demanding. And Jirvan goes, No No chision And then Austin Theory goes next to him, you know, he does that intimidating like thing you don't understand, Jvonne You're in the vision Dragas are not in the vision And then Javon takes the trunk, the pants off. He's got has and he has he's got gear underneath. Why get ready to go? Listen You don'ret got to get ready if you stay ready. That's right. And that's something that Javon Evans understands. Javon showed up. Looked like he was in street clothes. He had his gear on And Austin Theory made the ultimate mistake of walking in with his gear. Jon Evans impromptu says let's get a referee out here. And you know who slides right into that ring? Who's that? Danillo always looking to capitalize on an opportunity to make some money. Get a little bonus for the. Get a little bonus for himself. He's not gonna to share that money at all. Available. Yeah he is. Yeah, he is And we get Javon Evans versus Austin Theory. I'm like, this this is incredible. We get an imprompt to match, Javon Evans versus Austin Theory. amazing, amazing, amazing ends in a disqualification after Braom Breaker comes out. catches Javan Evans mid air. after an OG cutter with a spear withith a spear. I mean, mid air and Bom Breaker. I mean, look at the definition on this guy. I don't know what he was doing in the gym over the last week or two. But I mean, he looks as impressive as I have ever seen him and I have only ever seen him look impressive. He went to Italy and he didn't even smell a carb No, he couldn't. I mean, look at him. No because he's lean, right? I mean, I don't know how much protein that guy's put. I mean, it's incredible It's incredible what that guy looks like. But man, I bet Seth Rollins was watching from somewhere Go oh boy Oh nailed that spear while Bon Evans was mid air to be that big and intimidating and also have that level of precision precision and agility is crazy Speaking of looking like a million bucks though, Street prorofits's music play. we think Monz Ford is coming out like always and Angelo Dawkins is with him. Dawkins looking like a million bucks. And Dawkins was taken out by the vision not long ago. That's right. I mean, Mones always looks like a million bucks. That to take away from him, but Dakins looking like a million bucks. The two of them come out and clear the ring And I think it's interesting because as I'm looking at that, I go, whoa, you know, when I saw this cage match I said it must be that it's being done to keep the vision out of the ring Seth Rollins officially has some backup. And I think it is because ultimately, the street profits are looking for the tag team championship. Y. And now it's Bron Breaker holding one of those belts since Logan pauls out with the tricep injury And and I think that that's I don't I think that's what this was about tonight Pam Coin It's no wonder that the vision is looking pick up new members because They're in trouble. They've a lot of enemies. Of course, they're in trouble You got a tag team like the street prorofits coming after you too You're exactly right And they're not stopping. I'm really looking forward to this cage matchet N a ch I can't wait. I love Seth Rollins in a cage match. I mean, can you imagine
